Henrik Zetterberg's Back Injury Just Too Painful To Continue Playing In The Olympics
by Paul on 02/14/14 at 06:44 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Martin Merk of IIHF.com,
Zetterberg played in Sweden's first game against the Czech Republic but hasn't practised since due to back problems. He missed yesterday's practice and didn't join his team either in today's pre-game skate for the match against Switzerland.
Team doctor Bjorn Waldeback addressed the media and said Zetterberg has a herniated disc. During the pre-game skate it became known that he will not only miss today's game against Switzerland but that he will be out for the remainder of the Olympic men's ice hockey tournament in Sochi and will fly home.
"He is still suffering from his back injury and it is so painful for him that he can't be in it any more. It is Z who has taken this decision together with me," Waldeback said. "I think it is the cumulative load. There was no specific thing that happened in the game. The issues came the morning after. These are nerve-related issues and they often come creeping in. It is not one specific injury.
"[The NHL doctors] totally agree with us. When you suffer from a herniated disc the way he does, you need to go home for a medical evaluation."
"I spoke with Z on the evening after (Wednesday's) game and he didn't show any signs of feeling the slightest pain," Swedish head coach Par Marts said. "Of course it's nothing one wishes for, but we have to see the possibilities and look forward."

Datsyuk Still Out, Olympics In Jeopardy?
by Paul on 02/01/14 at 01:59 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Chuck Pleiness of Red Wings Front,
As for Pavel Datsyuk, it's beginning to look more and more like his chances of participating in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, are getting slimmer and slimmer.
"Nope," Wings coach Mike Babcock said shrugging his shoulders when asked if there was anything new on Datsyuk.
Datsyuk is the captain for Russia.
Asked if he would be back before the Olympics, Babcock said, "I don't know. I'm just like you. I just keep asking."

And I'll predict that the game will be against the Detroit Red Wings. I mean, the alumni game alone would be an automatic sellout. You want to see Peter Forsberg and Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic suit up against Darren McCarty and Mike Vernon and Kris Draper and all the other hated Wings one last time? Of course you do, and you will buy a ticket to see them one more time, even if some don't show up. An Avs-Wings alumni game would be just so much fun – and I bet it would be a verycontentious game, which would make it that much more fun.
-Adrian Dater of All Things Avs where the headline reads "Denver a slam dunk to get NHL outdoor Winter Classic game next year". Dater also refers to the "Outdoor Winter Classic Series" in the story so somewhere along the line there is confusion since I thought Washington was awarded the Winter Classic game for next season.

It's Not Easy To Change A Rule Mid-Season
by Paul on 01/25/14 at 05:17 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
The GMs, often vexed on trade deadline day or upon the opening of the free-agent market on July 1, can't agree on what should happen if, say, a goal or a penalty would occur during the time between a missed out-of-bounds call and a stoppage to allow the review.
The solution would seem to apply the same standard as when a goal is missed and later awarded by Toronto, which would be to wind back the clock and allow the penalty to stand. No goal could be scored in what would be illegitimate time.
There is sentiment among at least a portion of GMs and league executives to remedy the situation and apply video review to out-of-play calls for the playoffs. But best intentions may not be enough. It is not so simple to enact a rule change in-season, unless, of course, it applies to Sean Avery (See: 2008 playoffs, The Avery Rule).
In order to adopt expanded video review for the playoffs, the league would require approval from the competition committee, followed by a unanimous vote from the Board of Governors, as opposed to the two-thirds majority that's necessary to enact changes before a season.
Perhaps the two points that went to the Red Wings — and could have implications worth millions of dollars if Detroit makes the playoffs by that margin — are enough to jog the board into dramatic action. Surely it should.

Can The Wings Get On A Roll?
by Paul on 01/21/14 at 08:39 AM ET
Comments (4)
from John Niyo of the Detroit News,
Detroit now sits seven points behind Montreal for the last Atlantic Division playoff spot, and suddenly among a handful of teams looking up at Toronto and Columbus for the two wild-card berths in the Eastern Conference.
And while this five-game homestand was billed as a chance for the Wings to find some traction before next month's Olympic break and the stretch run that'll follow, it may prove to be just the opposite.
Because for a team that has forgotten what home ice is all about in the NHL — the Wings hadn't played here since Dec. 23 and they've won just seven of 25 games in Detroit all season – looks can be deceiving.
Next up are the defending Stanley Cup champs from Chicago – the hope is Jonas Gustavsson will be able to start in net after his own three-week absence — followed by a decent Montreal team they haven't seen and a bad Florida team they can't beat.
"Yeah, for sure," said Justin Abdelkader, when asked if players were starting to notice the shadows looming in the standings. "We're starting to slip a little bit. We've got to get rolling here."

We are so thankful for our donors; you are truly providing lifesaving training in places of the world that need it most. Today we share with you the story of how your gifts likely saved a little newborn baby. Thank you!
Angel was born in Drapoh Clinic in Sinoe County, Liberia. She was born early and underweight at birth, weighing just over 5 pounds. Being born underweight and a little bit early is extremely dangerous in rural Liberia where the infant mortality rate is already alarmingly high.
Thanks to your generous donations, MTI was able to hold a training workshop for community midwives in January of this year. Lucy, Angel's grandmother and the traditional midwife who brought her mother to the clinic for delivery, was a traditional midwife in attendance.
Through your gifts to MTI, Lucy (or "Mama Lu" as she is known in Drapoh) was trained to pay special attention to pregnant women and children under five years old. Seeing her granddaughter was underweight, Mama Lu remembered from her training that it is important to keep newborns warm, so she postponed the traditional bath immediately after delivery. Instead, Mama Lu wiped Angel down thoroughly with a dry towel, placed her against her mother's warm chest to begin immediate breastfeeding, and covered her with a soft blanket. These actions likely saved little Angel's life.
Mama Lu also made sure that Angel's mother received postnatal care at the clinic and that Angel received essential vaccinations. She continued to keep a watchful eye on the baby for any newborn danger signs, all practices she learned in the training you made possible.
In places of the world like Liberia, many midwives lack knowledge of basic lifesaving care. Immediate and exclusive breastfeeding; keeping baby warm; postnatal care at the clinics, and importance of early childhood immunizations are proven cost-effective and high impact interventions. Your gifts are shining a light into these places - providing skills and knowledge to help save and transform lives. Thank you!
We are so grateful to share with you a story of how your gifts changed the life of a young mother in Haiti.
Yvenia is a bright, young mother, but she could not afford to get the necessary treatment to give her the mobility to care for her children properly. Your gifts provided her with life-changing medical care and new prostheses!
Several years ago Yvenia was in an accident that caused her to lose both of her legs. Since then, she has been hobbling around on old, broken prostheses that were strapped to her limbs with rags and old bandages. Her skin had wounds caused by the poorly-fitting limbs.
Recently, Yvenia heard about the Medical Teams International Advantage Program. She hobbled into the clinic anxiously, expecting to be turned away because she had no money. The clinic immediately treated her for her skin injuries. Later, after the wounds healed, Yvenia was fitted with her new prostheses walks - and now she only needs a crutch for support! She finally has the mobility she needs to care for herself and her children.
Thank you for incredible generosity.
Jean Baptiste is a 20-year-old who lives in the rural community of La Borde. His mother recalls that he began to walk later than his siblings and that he often fell down. In school, he was not able to learn as easily as the other children. However he was able to do daily activities and play like other children his age.
Around age 12 (about 8 years ago), Jean Baptiste's life changed completely after he suffered a fever and was in bed for almost a month. After that, he developed spasticity in his legs and was unable to walk. The family took him to several hospitals, but no one offered physical rehabilitation. He developed severe tightness in his legs. For eight long years - nearly half his life - Jean Baptiste has had to crawl to move himself around, unable to walk.
In August 2013, the family heard about the Medical Teams International Advantage Program and brought him for therapy. As a result of your generosity, he is now able to walk short distances using a walker and can bathe himself and put on his clothes. Because of you, the MTI Advantage Program was able to provide him with a wheelchair that he uses to visit neighbors and go to church. He no longer depends on his brother to do everything for him.
The weekend of May 2nd, Oregon Potters Association held their annual Ceramic Showcase. With ceramics from over 200 Oregon and Washington artists, this is the nation's largest showcase.
Each year, the Oregon Potters Association does a different Installation Project at the Ceramic Showcase. They tie a clay project to a non-profit's work that inspires them.
This year, Deborah Shapiro, an OPA artist, proposed a mask theme after visiting the African mask display at the Seattle Art Museum. Three other OPA members volunteered to work on the committee, and they designed and created the display. Deborah proposed to tie the installation with Medical Teams International because of our dental work all over the world, including here in the U.S. Said Deborah, "My dentist, Dr. Joseph Young in King City, had led one of your groups in central Africa. He told me about some of the children he had worked on, and I knew right away that OPA would want to connect the Masks/Faces theme."
Entitled "Facing Your Imagination, seventy artists volunteered to participate in the mask installation.
A percentage of the masks sold were donated to Medical Teams International, and several members of OPA personally stopped by our headquarters to drop off the check!
Although getting seventy artists to finish their projects was a bit like "herding cats," Deborah says, "I'm proud of OPA for the success of this project, and I feel that my life was enriched by working this hard for such a great cause."
We are so grateful for Deborah and Oregon Potters Association for their hard work and generosity. Thank you for your compassion for those around the world in desperate need of dental care. You are changing lives!
Right here at home in the U.S., many retired adults living on social security cannot afford dental insurance or dental care. They live in debilitating pain and the teeth problems progress to more serious health conditions.
Recently, thanks to your generosity, one of our mobile dental vans was able to provide care to one such local woman. Jacqueline had been living with severe pain caused by her dental issues - issues that caused her to be anemic. Hour-after-hour, day-after-day, the pain left her in agony. Because of you, Jacqueline received the urgent treatment she needed to save her health as well as her livelihood.
Jacqueline is so grateful for your support of our mobile dental programs. She wanted us to share her letter of gratitude with you. THANK YOU!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all for your services.
I am a seventy four year old female living on social security. With my income I could not afford dental insurance. I had been living for months with four teeth and several broken stumps. The pain was horrible 24x7 and sleep patterns were disrupted so I was a mess. I spoke to my doctor when my blood counts got so few that I became anemic severely! She gave me your phone number. I received an appointment four days later and your team...saw me at nine A.M. They worked their tails off because this task was not easy.
All the teeth and stubs were taken out. Lovely, Compassionate people who were sooo professional. They were Kind, Concerned and totally wonderful. They explained what to expect, what to do and asked me if I had any questions!
I had NO PAIN - the bleeding stopped before I got home. I slept all night without pain - a first in a long time! Today I feel Wonderful - ate some soup and Jello and am a Happy person.
Again, thank all of you!!!

Royal Coronations
moreIn 1953, Britain celebrated the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, an event greeted at the time with widespread, nationwide enthusiasm. Sixty years on, the images and memories of the event still resonate, partly for their nostalgic appeal, but also as a reminder that while the monarchy of the modern age has had to move with the times, the affirming ritual of the coronation, with its pageantry, theatre and symbolism, is centuries old. This book takes a thematic look at the phenomenon of the coronation from its earliest origins and the meaning of the ceremonial rituals, to the precise behind-the-scenes organisation and the robes and jewels worn. It will also look at public responses to coronations over the years and how the magnificence of the event from the time of William the Conqueror gradually evolved and rose to new levels with the glorious global (and televised) celebration of 1953. less

For NFL prospects, the post-Combine process now begins. Greg Gabriel
Now that the Combine is over, what happens for the next four to five weeks? The month of March has pro days starting next week. There will be workouts scheduled Monday through Friday each week, with some days having as many as 8-10 scheduled on the same day all over the country. Because so many workouts are crammed into such a short period, it is virtually impossible to attend every one. Because of that problem the APT (Association of Professional Teams) was formed about seven or eight years ago to cover all the pro days. The APT is a group of about 24 NFL clubs, and each club is responsible for seven to eight schools to cover during the pro day season. The club would send one of its scouts to the assigned school to collect all the data from the workout. The information gathered would then be sent to the other member clubs of the APT. Anything that is measured is shared information. It includes the height, weight, arm length and hand span. It also includes 10, 20 and 40-yard times as well as the times for the 20-yard shuttle, 3-cone drill, standing long jump and vertical jump.
Probably the first question you might ask is "Can I trust that the information is accurate?" You have to trust the information and having been part of the APT for seven years I was sure that the information was in fact accurate. Yes, this is a competitive business, but at the same time the heights, weights and speeds is basic information and all the clubs have the same problem of getting to all the different pro days in such a short period of time. The formation of the APT made our jobs a little easier.
Almost every pro day is taped by the video staff of the school. What many clubs do is buy the tape if they can't attend the workout. That way you can still watch certain players that they are interested in working out. The colleges do a great job of editing these tapes and getting them out to the clubs within a few days of the workouts.
Bills RB C.J. Spiller competing at Clemson's pro day last year.
Many of the players who attended the Combine do not do the measurable drills at their pro day if they did a good job with those events while at the Combine. If they felt they could do better they would of course do the drills over. That's why it's important to work out at the Combine. If a player felt he had a less than typical performance at the Combine, he has a chance to "redeem" himself at his pro day. If he chose not to work out in Indy and then has a subpar workout at his school he has no chance to "redeem" himself. There is just not enough time. I have always advised players to work out at the Combine for that reason.
The one thing that is important about the pro days is the position drill segment. At the Combine, there are only about six to seven different position drills that each player does. These drills have been basically the same drills for years and have become "learned" because they have been practiced over and over again for weeks or months leading up to the Combine. At the pro day, coaches have their own set of drills that they want prospects to perform. Because the player has not had time to "rehearse" these drills it becomes an important part of the evaluation process. The coach not only wants to see the prospect do the drills correctly but he also wants to see how the player "takes" coaching. He wants to see if he has to explain the drills over and over or if the player "gets it" the first time. This is important because you can find out if the player is a "rep guy." Over the years, I have seen many players who performed well at the Combine "bomb" at his pro day because he hasn't had the chance to practice the drills beforehand.
While the pro days aren't as important for the kids who were invited to the Combine, they are very important for those players who were not invited. It gives the clubs the opportunity to get verified measurables on these players and it also gives the players an opportunity to compete against the kids who went to the Combine. Every year there are 30 or more players who were not invited to the Combine who get drafted. Many of these players go on to have great careers, so the pro day is a very important day for them.
If a club has a strong interest in a player they might not even go to his pro day, but schedule a "private" workout for another date. They do this because they will have an opportunity to spend "quality" time with the player. They may want to find out more about his personality or his ability to learn. Many times a coach will take the player into a meeting room and put him on "the board." Here, a coach may ask the player to diagram some plays and walk him through the responsibilities he had for the play. The coach may also teach the player some of his club's plays or schemes and then test the player on what was just taught to him. All of this is very important in putting together a final grade and determining if you want that player on your club.
An interesting part of the pro days at the major schools is that there may be kids from the smaller schools in that state also working out. With so many workouts scheduled in such a short period of time it has become very difficult to get to many of the small schools. For this reason, the NFL allows players from lower level schools to work out at the large schools within that state. For example, a player from Eastern Illinois or Western Illinois can work out at the Northwestern or Illinois pro day. At the same time, a player from Northwestern cannot workout at Illinois' pro day. The large school has to agree to let the small school players work out but in most cases it's not a problem. Often the small school prospects work out after the major school prospects are done. It makes for a long day for scouts but it gives the clubs valuable information as well as saving valuable time. It's also a value to the smaller school prospects because the small school may not have the indoor facilities that many of the major schools have. With this, the player gets to work out under very good conditions.

Collapse Within Weeks, Ron Paul Presidency? - Bix WeirSubmitted by Freeyourself2 on Sun, 07/22/2012 - 21:53
COLLAPSE within WEEKS, RON PAUL PRESIDENCY? - Bix Weir
Bix Weir's Website: http://www.RoadToRoota.com
they are discussing silver vs Gold and the panic spreading within the
powers that were . And then at the end he discusses Ron Pauls ability in the end to become the presidential candidate for the GOP in Tampa..
Bix Wier has a background of solid predictions...
- Login to post comments
I predict that
within weeks Bix will have a new prediction. Bix is very persuasive, easy to understand and is very entertaining. The "Good guys plan" is just too hard to believe. DP'ers are a great audience for him because no one wants RP to win more than we do, but I really think this guy's agenda is selling premium subscriptions, newsletters, books or something like that.
So, in "weeks" which to me means pretty soon, if I'm wrong I encourage you to let me know. My guess is that he'll come up with a new prediction in "weeks".
I hope I'm dead wrong about the good guys plan, but I don't think I will be.
Regardless, get involved in the Liberty movement so that we can save this republic when the SHTF.
Haven't watched yet but
I talked about this with a friend and if the economy has a serious collapse before the election can't Obama declare a state of emergency and therefore delay the election until the emergency is over??
If The Collapse Happens In August
How will anyone get to Tampa? All else aside, won't everyone's families need them?

It's 28 minutes long, but it will keep your attention. Blix lays it all out, even explaining Rand's actions. This should be required listening for all of Dr. Paul's supporters. Buckle in!
The guy is certainly willing to go out on a
limb all by himself; his "conspiracy" of good guys is definitely the weirdest I've heard. But I'm not financially sophisticated and have no clue if he could be right.

GRABB Black Market: The Real Black Friday is Back!
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21 -22, See website for times and maps
Mosaic Space, 25 S. Division Ave. (Friday) & LINC, 1167 Madison Ave. SE (Saturday)
OK, I will admit that I wanted to employ just the right amount of provocative to get your attention, not only about the return of the Grand Rapids Area Black Businesses (GRABB) Black Market but also the debut of the 1st Annual GRABB Awards reception.
This year's Black Market is an event devoted to increasing the visibility of Black-owned businesses, bringing the community into the awareness camp so they can understand the power of patronizing these local businesses, and supporting the businesses during the holiday season and beyond. This year, the market is combined with a new event, the GRABB Awards. The GRABB Awards were created to recognize, reward and celebrate Black businesses, individuals and community organizations that work hard to build up and make a difference in our community. So this weekend's event is a one-of-a-kind, two-day, two-part event designed to help jump start your holiday shopping while supporting and celebrating Black businesses.
This year's GRABB Awards on Friday evening will feature keynote speaker Pashon Murray, Co-Founder of Detroit Dirt, who was recently honored at the 2014 Martha Stewarts American Made Awards. http://detroitdirt.org/
The GRABB Awards reception is $25 to attend and will be held at the Avenue for the Arts' Mosaic Space (25 S. Division Ave.). Guests of the GRABB Awards will be treated to an unforgettable evening that includes the chance to enjoy the keynote speaker, network, shop and enjoy a beverage or two.
On Saturday, the free-to-enter Black Market Pop-Up Shop will move from Friday night's South Division spot to Southtown's LINC (1167 Madison Ave. SE). Guests who venture to this vibrant and beautifully developing community-focused neighborhood will be treated to a great shopping atmosphere featuring live soulful music, children's activities (including a chance to visit with Santa), as well as prizes and giveaways for kids of all ages.
"The Black Market reinforces the work of GRABB to foster a micro-economy that supports the revitalization of the Black community and expands opportunities for Black businesses in the Metro Grand Rapids area," says Grand Rapids Area Black Businesses' founder Jamiel Robinson. "Also, to improve the quality of life for impoverished Black families by creating a viable and sustainable business community."
The urgency of this matter in our community is underscored by the recent visit to Grand Rapids by the co-author of
Just Growth
, Dr. Manuel Pastor, who, along with co-author Chris Benner (profiled in G-Sync Editorial LINK) discussed his startling research about the very real conditions of racial equity and economy, and what it means for our future city. While in Grand Rapids, Dr. Pastor reiterated what Benner had already revealed to a packed house at Meijer Gardens -- that nearly 45 percent of the estimated 40,000 African Americans in Grand Rapids live at or below the poverty line. GRABB is trying to change that.
"The Black Market represents an opportunity for us to shift our consumer behaviors and activity," says Robinson. "Through the Black Market I seek to continue to create more visibility and awareness for Black businesses in the Metro Grand Rapids area."
If there ever was a time for you to get off your butt and support your community regardless of color, now is the time. (I do hope you will make time to stop by here on Saturday.)
Admission: $25 for the Friday night awards reception, Saturday is free.
Grand Rapids Wine, Beer and Food Festival: Try Them All!
Thursday, Nov. 20 - Saturday, Nov. 22
DeVos Place, 303 Monroe NW
Are you the type of foodie who has fantasized about being under one room with access to 1,200+ wines and 200+ beers, plus an array of handmade (and many local) ciders and light-up-the-night spirits?
If you are a local and you answer, "Yes… and I have been for years now been seeking such an experience," then I must say, "Where have you been all this time?" because this weekend we offer such an experience right downtown at the Grand Rapids Wine, Beer and Food Festival for the 7
year in row.
Within this ultimate one-stop-shop are thousands of chances to sample from the thousands of bottles found in The Vineyard or Brewer's Loft. And with the advent of the ever-growing cider market, you can wander about the Michigan Blue Cider House courtesy of BLUE Magazine.
There even are dining opportunities that you have to experience firsthand. But do not delay securing a reservation at any one of these specialty food and drink pairing dinners. These are a hot ticket that must be purchased in advance. Here is a
to get you right to the front of the ticket counter.
So before you head home for the holidays and try to impress the parents or prove to your kids that you still have it in you to try new things, stop by to ensure you have the best host and hostess gifts before you walk in the door this holiday season.
General Admission: Advance single day ticket sale special ends 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20. After Thursday, ticket prices are $20 for a single day pass to $40 for the entire weekend. Sampling tokens sold on site.
GR Comic-Con - Let's Play Dress Up (Adult Version)
Friday - Sunday, Nov. 21 - 23, see website for details
DeltaPlex Arena, 2500 Turner Ave NW
If you are an alien and you want to take over the city of Grand Rapids, then this is your weekend to stage that attack, as the streets and halls of hotels will be filled with comic fans many adorned as their favorite character who will descend upon our fair snow-covered city for the ever-growing Comic-Con. You'll blend right in with the costumed crowd.
If you know what Comic-Con is, then you are already preparing your outfits for the weekend festivities that sprawl from the DeltaPlex for the convention to the area bars and businesses ready to receive you just as you are. (Area merchants will only take cash or credit cards, so hold your geeluck-luck bills for your next outer space stop back in Zoltazick.)
If you do not know what Comic-Con is about, then start here and work out where you will land your ship this weekend. It will be worth it no matter where you land or how you arrive.
Details here for all programming, including when Nichelle Nichols a.k.a. Lt. Uhura from the original "Star Trek" will be at the event. LINK:

Admission: $12 - 35 with special pricing for kids.
Feedback 20: Sinkevics Takes the Wheel
Sunday, Nov. 23, 4 - 9 p.m.
Founders Taproom, 235 Grandville SW
Sometimes a writer will step back and let another take over. When I asked John Sinkevics, editor and publisher of Local Spins Online Magazine, to reflect on his last 20 years of producing the music-fueled charity event, Feedback (first known as Basement Bands Benefit), I expected a few bits of quotes. What I got is really worth printing in its entirety, but here are a few things should know before you venture out to attend this concert. These are John's reflections on Feedback:
"For two decades, this has been a true labor of love for me and my band mate, friend and guitarist Charley Honey. When we first launched this 20 years ago at the old Intersection in Eastown, we looked at it as a way to raise money for a good cause -- supporting food pantries for needy families coordinated by Access of West Michigan -- and spotlight under-the-radar bands who sometimes don't get the attention they deserve.
That first year, our band The Honeytones played, along with an unusual garage-rock outfit Workshop. Headlining the show was Two Headed Sam, a very cool, soulful rock band whose membership happened to include Mark Sellers, who'd later go on to great success as a restaurateur and GR bar magnate (Stella's, HopCat, Grand Rapids Brewing Company).
Since that time, Feedback has been held at Billy's Lounge (formerly Martini's), The Rhythm Kitchen, The B.O.B. and for the past several years at Founders Brewing Co.
Over the years, a who's who lineup of talented bands has played Feedback, including The Concussions, The Crane Wives, Midlife Crisis, The Willeys, Molly Bouwsma Schultz, Ralston Bowles, Valentiger, Jimmie Stagger, Nathan Kalish, DangerVille, Jim Crawford Band, Knee Deep Shag and more.
So to commemorate this anniversary, this year's show features some popular performers from past Feedbacks: Domestic Problems (which is playing Founders for the first time ever on Sunday) and The FuzzRites.
Plus, The Honeytones will bring in some special guests to play with them during their opening set -- harmonica player Hank Mowery and singer Hannah Rose Graves. And there could be some surprises to boot. In addition, there will be a 50-50 raffle and sales of a commemorative Feedback poster to further aid the cause.
There have been some drop-dead amazing performances over the years: Domestic Problems playing to a jam-packed Rhythm Kitchen with folks sitting and lying on the floor; Molly Bouswma Schultz and Friends tearing it up at Founders in what would be the predecessor to Vox Vidorra; The Concussions filling the dance-floor with their surf-rock goofiness.
For me, few things have been more satisfying than hosting an event that's not only a wall-to-wall blast with some absolutely incredible performers but one that's raised more than $25,000 in donations for an organization that really needs the help to serve a growing population of needy families in Kent County.
A couple of years ago, I became a board member at Access, partly because my involvement with Feedback concerts got me to see what good work this organization does and partly because it's a passion of mine to battle hunger and poverty. So many folks just don't realize how many people in our own community are struggling to get by every day. Access of West Michigan does so much with so few resources I'm hoping Feedback helps raise awareness of their mission.
Also, we've actually asked a bunch of bands who've played Feedback in the past to swing by Sunday's event so we can acknowledge them and give them a shout-out from the stage. It's a long roster of top-notch artists who've donated their time to the cause over the years."
Thanks, John, Charley, and all the artists who help make sure that we all remember that charity begins at home…even if your definition of home translates into the entire city. "Good will to all" suddenly has fresh meaning. Be thankful this year for what we have and for what we can do when we make music together. Stay classy, GR!
Admission: $5 donation, but please consider giving more if you are able to do so this year.
Editor's note:
John Sinkevics' legacy to our region is evident not just though his charity but via his
Local Spins Online Magazine
. Sinkevics provides our region with a great online portal through which we can all connect more fully with the music that is changing the face of our city. Local Spins is without a doubt an essential online music guide for locals looking to gain a solid perspective and for those outside our region who wonder what the hell is happening in Grand Rapids.

LIGHT Thanksgiving apps???
- s
- schrutefarms Nov 20, 2008 10:27 PM
By light, I don't mean fat-free, I mean light on the tummy. Last year, I got all crazy with the apps, I did deviled eggs, bruscetta, procutto/provelone around a breadstick, as well as the cheese, and olives and so forth. So, by the time dinner was there, no one was hungry. This year I want to keep the munchies light. I'm thinking olives, and...uhhhh....that's where I need your help. Maybe some cheese? I tend to go overboard, so steer me right. Thanks, fellow chows.
I think if you make some dips (traditional sour-cream based as well as others like hummous) with crudite, they lend themselves to "lighter" nibbling. I stay away from cheese and meats, they are pretty heavy before a big dinner. I've rediscovered Chex mix, everyone really loves it if you want a salty/crunchy nibble (and you can make all kinds of flavor variations if you don't want to use the traditional recipe).
re: BeeZee
This is a good plan. At a more recent dinner I attended, we had a few varieties of hummus and dips and still had plenty of room for the dinner. Once we got to the pies (seemingly enough for one per person) we were a bit stuffed though. It's not that hard to make either.
Stay away from cheeses, meats and other rich proteins. Dips, crudites, small canapes or even something as simple as a small bowl of homemade chips with some interesting seasonings would be satisfactory to start. The idea is to keep it light, but keep people noshing.
I must made a really great French onion soup...we haven't tried this before, but will this year. Light and flavorful --along with a crudites platter.
there is so much food at thanksgiving, keep it light. i think olives and nuts are perfect. i have made the mistake of cheese, crostini etc and then people get too full
A friend recently made these for a small dinner party: Dried apricots, flattened w/ a mallet or rolling pin spread w/ a mix of 1/2 cream cheese and 1/2 blue cheese, topped w/ a toasted pecan. Simple, savory and dee-lish. Adam
I made a roasted butternut squash dip a few thanksgivings ago and it was well recieved. The same thanksgiving I served a pear blue cheese, and a cranberry goat cheese, for appetizers.
it's funny, we always have veggies and dips, but i have to be careful because i find the veggies to be potentially bloating given the gassiness factor, which is never fun to feel as sitting down to a meal... they're the best choice since they aren't too heavy, but i'd stay away from ones that are too cruciferous.
What about a variety of popcorn (different types, with different salts/flavorings)? You could display it with some dried red and yellow corn cobs and they make some really great seasonings for the popped corn.
Thank you! So many great suggestions-Thanksgiving will be a breeze! So much less work to do now!
Well, for me, it would be foie gras done ten ways, or deep-fried lard.
No, wait - I just re-read the initial article.
My wife does a smoked salmon on toast rounds. OK, there is oil in the smoked salmon, but not THAT much. She puts a dollop of créme fraîche and then adds capers (tiniest berry size available).
Another, and great with Champagne is to take new potatoes, boil them, but not too long. Cut in half, and use a mellon-baller to extract a cavity. She fills the cavity with créme fraîche and then adds caviar atop.
If one went with fat-free créme fraîche, or similar, you'd have a light app. These also work well if the guests are walking about, as they are great finger-food.
Wines for the salmon: white - King Estate Reserve Pinot Grigio. [Note the "Reserve" in this wine's name - I am far less a fan of their (or most producer's) regular PG's. Red - any number of WA/OR Pinot Noirs.
For the potatoes: Most Blanc-de-blanc Champagnes (Brut), many Blanc-de-noir (Brut) or about any well-made Brut Rosé Champage. For domestic, Iron Horse does some really nice sparklers in either blanc, or Rosé.
re: Chefsquire
I'd second the oysters. Match with champagne.
re: meagan
Ha! Yes, I am a HUGE Office fan. And I love beets, although I can't say the same for all my guests :)
Some cream cheese, thinned a bit with some of the olive brine; add some chopped olives and stuff into some celery ribs, cut into 1" pieces.
Serve with some Marcona almonds
That's what we're having
Homemade crackers are easy and tasty. I recently made some crackers with rosemary and sea salt from . . . I want to say Food & Wine . . . anyway search epicurious.com for "rosemary crackers." Just roll dough very thin, bake, then break into "rustic" free-form pieces. It was kind of like focaccia, but in light flaky cracker form. Could be dipped in a hummus or nice tangy feta cheese dip.
Allright, I ended up with nuts and olives, and I made a veg platter with a pesto dip (cream cheese, store bought pesto, and parm in a food processer), BUT I copied down all the suggestions b/c they all sounded GREAT!! Thanks!

Quincy Vidal - Saturday Morning
Artist: Quincy Vidal
Producer: Still Weavens
Album: Sentimental Moods
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 7 votes )
A singly-named duo in the tradition of Christian Rich and Chester French, Quincy Vidal make their grand entrance into The DJBooth with an album standout depicting a typical Saturday Morning around their way. Still Weavens provides the instrumental backdrop for this lyrical slice of life, flipping a sample from soul singer Minnie Riperton's Take a Little Trip as Brooklyn mic-rockers Le'Asha Julius and Caleb Eberhardt watch cartoons, smoke up, and order Chinese before heading out to a nearby cipher. With the record's low-key production and easily-relatable subject matter, it's no wonder the crew commonly elicit comparisons to Golden Age greats as A Tribe Called Quest and Digable Planets. Craving more retro, yet fresh material from Quincy Vidal? You'll find what you seek on sophomore album Sentimental Moods, out as of November 25. Click here to purchase the set via Bandcamp!

"Crown (Front Tooth) - Rancho..."
So I recently had a crowned tooth because I chipped my tooth. I personally didn't think I needed a crown. But she insisted I get a crown. Through the process, I felt pain.

Easter morning ceremonies held yesterday in Rome, London, Maastricht, and other key energy centers of the earth, disestablished the Church of Rome and the entity governing it. Rev. Kevin Annett, (1) Secretary of The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada, read the Maastricht Proclamation at the oldest church outside Italy.
Prior to the reading of the proclamation, sunrise exorcisms were held at the Vatican and dozens of other locations. A statement issued by spiritual elders proclaimed:
This third and final exorcism of the dark entity of Rome is accomplished. The power of that false church is forever broken, and replaced by a new spiritual gathering of free men and women under a new Covenant with the Creator.
The new Covenant stands solely on the authority, judgement and laws of God, and nullifies the de facto rule of church and state that wrongfully posed as lawful and legitimate authorities over mankind. The new Covenant replaces those de facto, criminal powers with the de jure, lawful government of God that overturns and replaces all unjust, man made authority of church and state.
According to common law, the proclamation gives "supreme spiritual and lawful authority and binding power under the laws of heaven and earth, and all free men and women are empowered to actively enforce it."
The Global Emancipation Proclamation states:
"Let it Be Known and made effect by all men and women, persons and authorities that under the Supreme Law of God as embodied in the Common Law of Nature and Natural Right, as of this day, the institution and entity of the Church of Rome, its officers, clergy, adjunct and derivative bodies and corporate entirety, is now and forever abolished and disestablished as a corporate and a spiritual body. All people and powers formerly under its authority and influence and owing it allegiance are now and forever emancipated and freed from such obligatory servitude.
"Having violated and waged unrelenting war on God and humanity through its history of crime, murder, apostasy, child sacrifice and idolatry, and thereby repudiated its covenanted requirement of duty to uphold the honor of Heaven and Earth, and the life and dignity of mankind, the Church of Rome has nullified its basis for existence and brought upon itself the status of a renegade transnational criminal organization in the eyes of God and man, and under the laws of both heaven and earth.
"The ultimate authority of God as expressed in De Jure common law courts of judgment and in congregations of just, truthful men and women does therefore nullify the existence of the Church of Rome, the alleged 'Apostolic Succession', and its so-called 'Canon Law.'
"Therefore, as of this day, all such law, statutes, and all church offices and officials are declared to be forever abolished and possessing no effect or binding authority in heaven or on earth.
"All Church of Rome officials and agents, commencing with Jorge Bergoglio, so-called Pontiff of the Church of Rome, every Cardinal of the Roman Curia, the heads of the Vatican Bank and Adolfo Pachon, chief 'Superior' of the Jesuit Order, are hereby ordered to immediately stand down from and relinquish their offices.
"The wealth, property and movable assets of the Church of Rome are hereby forfeited and declared to be under the common ownership of the People of the world, and may be peacefully seized and occupied by them.
"Every member, employee and adherent of the Roman Catholic Church is hereby released from all of their vows, allegiance and obligations to the Church of Rome, and are freed to gather and worship in whatever congregational form that God and their conscience compels, separate from the disestablished Roman church.
"The sheriffs and peace officers of lawful common law courts, assisted by the free people of the world, are henceforth authorized and encouraged to enact and enforce this Annulment and Emancipation Proclamation wherever possible, under the supreme and sovereign authority of God and the Law of Nations.
"The people of God who have been lost and held in bondage within the spiritual captivity of the false church of Rome are now free to assemble in covenanted congregations which stand solely under the law of God and recognizing no other legitimate authority, for the establishment of God's kingdom on earth.
"The long night of spiritual tyranny and Vatican crime is over. Let the free people of the Earth and all true servants of God and Christ cleanse their lands of the Lie and the Murder formerly enthroned in Rome.
"Proclaimed and enacted as on this Resurrection Sunday by The International Common Law Court of Justice with the collaboration of the The Covenant of Free Congregational Christians (The Covenanters)."
Following the reading of the proclamation, a final exorcism and spiritual reclamation ceremony was held in Rome and various other sites throughout the world.

After a few days of pie, naps and relaxation, getting back on the grind can be hard for anyone. To help you keep moving when you're in a rough spot (or just aren't feeling motivated), Swerve and Rav.P have created new promo single 'Til We Get Right. Though the message is motivational, Rav.P's beat is laid-back and jazzy. Don't worry, though; it is still effective. Atop the beat, Swerve and Rav, each spit about their troubles in sharp, yet heartfelt flows. There has been no word provided on a larger project from the duo, but those who like what they're hearing can check out their last DJBooth feature, 2012's reader-approved Have(nots).

The Week In Polls--Oct. 3--A Lighter Shade Of Blue
The bad news for Republicans heading into tonight's first Presidential debate is that Mitt Romney trails in almost every poll, by an average of three points in the Real Clear Politics Average, and that Democrats have moved ahead in enough states to maintain control of the United States Senate. In fact, had I written about the polls a week ago, I would have used the headline, "Blue, blue, all is blue."
Note that we've gone to a lighter shade of blue for this week's headline because there's good news for Republicans. A week ago, Obama was up four points in the Real Clear Politics average, so he's lost a point prior to the debate, and many of the State Senate races are too close for comfort either way.
For example, as of today RCP has Republicans picking up three seats (Montana, North Dakota, and Nebraska) but losing two (Maine and Massachusetts) for a net gain of one, leaving Democrats with 52-48 control of the Senate.
The biggest surprises are Wisconsin where Democrat Tammy Baldwin has moved five points ahead of former Governor Tommy Thompson (so much for Paul Ryan helping the ticket in his home state) and Connecticut where wrestling maven Linda McMahon has moved within a couple points of Democrat Chris Murphy (Pollster actually has her 0.3 points ahead in its averages). It's so tight in the Nutmeg State that ultra liberal media phenom Chris Matthews is actually picking McMahon to win.
Elizabeth Warren has taken the lead from Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown in recent days (up between one and two points depending on which average one uses), but I suspect that's because Obama has pulled so far ahead in the Bay State that he's taken Warren with him. Look for 60-40 as the over-under there. If Obama hits 60 percent at the top of the ticket, Brown will be in trouble.
The three big states at the Presidential level (Florida, Virginia, and Ohio) now have three Democrats in rather firm control for the Senate. Kaine has moved 4.8 points ahead of Allen in one Virginia average, 1.9 points in another. Sherrod Brown and Bill Nelson are also farther ahead than I thought they'd be, Brown by as much as nine points over Josh Mandel in Ohio (I thought Brown would be in trouble, but like in Massachusetts, Obama appears to have coattails here).
You know you're being inundated with polls when even the averages tell different stories.
Going into tonight's debate, Obama is up 49.1-46.0 (3.1 points) in the RCP average. He's up 48.7-44.4 (4.3 points) in the Pollster average. Pollster has him with 303 electoral votes to 191 for Romney with only North Carolina and Florida as toss-ups. Update--it just changed to 290-191; they moved Virginia back to toss-up. See what a state of flux we're in!
RCP has Obama at 269 (enough for an Electoral College tie) and Romney at 181. Thus Romney would have to win all the toss-up states (Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Virginia, Florida where Obama leads and North Carolina and Missouri where Romney is ahead). Ohio and New Hampshire are in the Obama camp according to both surveys.
Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com (my favorite numbers cruncher) give Obama an 84.7 percent chance to be re-elected. He has the Electoral College at 319-218 and the popular vote at plus 3.9 percent for Obama (51.4-47.5).
For the record, let's get individual polling numbers out at this landmark juncture.
National Journal is out today with a 47-47 tie. Gallup has Obama up four (49-45); even Rasmussen (which Fox News usually point to as it tries to make the race look close) has Obama up two today (49-47).
That 49-47 seems to be a magic number. That's exactly what ABC News/Washington Post and Politico/GWU/Battleground polls have Obama up. NPR, on the other hand, has the Demagogue in Chief up seven points (51-44). Never trust NPR!
State polls usually take a few days to reflect gaps closing, but NBC/Marist has Obama's lead down to only a point (47-46) today in Florida and only two (48-46) in Virginia. He still leads by eight in Ohio (51-43), a real problem for Romney. Again, so much for that strategy of picking Ryan to help in the Midwest. I contended all along that Romney really needed a boost in the Southwestern states which Marco Rubio could have provided. If Romney loses by failing to carry Colorado and Nevada (not to mention Florida), blame it on the Veep pick!
The good news for Republicans is that they continue to hold a lead in the generic Congressional ballot and will most likely maintain a fairly big lead in the House. RCP pegs it at 226-183, a 43 seat advantage. After Rasmussen had Democrats ahead by a single point a few weeks ago, it's back to a four point Republican lead now (45-41). The RCP average has it virtually tied, but they factor in some Democrat polling outfits (such as NPR) which simply cannot be trusted.
While we can't look at all the polls out this week, two stand out as indications why the GOP should hold the House. In Massachusetts, the tainted Congressman John Tierney has fallen six points behind Richard Tisei (37-31) in the sixth district, and in Utah, Saratoga Springs mayor Mia Love (the African American who wowed the country at the GOP convention) has moved from 15 points down to six points ahead (49-43) of Jim Matheson.
Lest I be accused of cherry picking positive polls for Republicans, I refer you back to the slew of bad news for the GOP at the Senate level. In fact, look at Indiana which appeared to be a sure hold for Republicans with Dick Lugar six months ago. He was ousted by Richard Mourdock to his right in the primary, and now Democrat Joe Donnelly is running neck and neck and is actually up by two points in one poll. I doubt he'll pull the upset, but it's a sign of the blue wave that this one is even close.
Missouri is particularly intriguing. After being left for dead by his fellow Republicans, Todd Akin is within 2.3 points of Clair McCaskill in the RCP averages. Rasmussen and PPP both have him down six (46-40), but We Ask American has McCaskill up only one (46-45). Go figure.
I'm having trouble making sense out of the WMUR/Granite State poll, not the one which has Obama up 15 points over Romney in New Hampshire but the one which has Maggie Hassan up two points over Ovide LaMontagne either 42-40 or 38-36 depending on which sampling you focus on. Ovide is doing much better with independent voters than Romney, so he should be doing better overall, but with so many undecided voters, it doesn't really matter at this point. Time will tell on that race. I was going to write a blog that if only we had the None of the Above option; New Hampshire would be better served.
Maybe tomorrow….
