Old Dutch Recipes
The Cookbook – A Taste of Pella includes many more Dutch Recipes and is available using gift shop tab.
Dutch Letters – Try out these Genuine Holland Recipes originally compiled and written down in 1937. Members of a women's church group, the Moonlight Mission Band, collected favorite recipes from Pella, Iowa's Dutch immigrants. The ladies created a cookbook to sell as a fund raiser during Tulip Time 1937. Proceeds from the cookbook sales supported religious mission work. All of the recipes have been tested, but these old recipes do not include exact measurements and directions common in more modern recipes.

Songwriting course Hello TBers, I am enrolled in a songwriting course (https://www.coursera.org/course/songwriting), and I was wondering if anyone around here else is too. I am not sure how much time I'll have to work on it, but the course looks interesting and I hope to learn quite a bit from it. Lessons and exercises regarding lyrics should be in English, only -- I hope I can apply the techniques to my language... |
One and only... bump |
Oh, that's neat. I've taken a couple coursera courses(not music related) and I enjoy them. I didn't see that one. I don't think I'll take it this time, though. At this point I'm more interested in composing the non-vocal parts of the song, and while I'm sure I'd learn a ton on that in this, nobody wants to hear me sing. Ever. |
Hi MrBell321 Quote:
PS: Believe me, I am quite sure nobody wants to hear me sing as well. I feel sorry for the reviewers... |

Coming off their lone loss of the season, Taylor County's Cardinals posted a convincing 89-51 home triumph over Bethlehem.
"We did a better job feeding the post," TCHS head coach Troy Young admitted. "Which was a point of emphasis after the Adair County game."
The Cards fell behind 7-0 and 10-2, but "finally woke up a little bit" to lead 21-14 at the first-quarter stop and 39-25 at halftime.
Taylor County put up 50 second-half points and Young was afforded the luxury of using his bench in its fourth win in five contests.
Kentucky Christian School fifth graders delivered more than 400 items to the Taylor County Food Pantry recently as part of their Thanksgiving ministry project.
Jaylon Carter, 5, and Rylee Carter, 11 months, are the children of Ronnie and Dana Carter. Their grandparents are Elaine and Mike Munday and Mabel and Matthew Houston, all of Campbellsville.
Taylor County Girl Scout Troop #222 attended the annual "Festival of the Arts" in Louisville on Saturday, Nov. 10. Five members of the troop attended events, which included: The Space Painter Juggling, Falls of the Ohio, Thomas Edison House, Young Rembrandts Drawing Workshop and cake decorating.
Well, it's finally over. At long last, "The Big Event" is over, and we weren't there.
"The Big Event," for those of you without young daughters, is ... well, was ... the Hannah Montana concert. And it was Wednesday night at Rupp Arena in Lexington.
AND ... my daughter and I were not there.
But let me tell you, it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Someone once said: "The manner of giving is worth more than the gift."
And around this community the hearts are always warmer than the dead-of-winter weather.
The Holiday Helpline has ensured that nearly 400 families will have a better Christmas than they might have had otherwise. But the Helpline isn't taking credit. That credit belongs to the community - the one that is always so giving.
Mike Ware has joined Jessie Insurance, 201 W. Broadway, as an agent.
Ware, 53, has been in sales for most of his adult life. He was born, raised and educated in Taylor County.
He started in the retail business in the 1970s at Mitchell's Men's Wear. He has been in fastener sales at Parker-Kalon since the late 1970s and, most recently, with Meaden Precision of Chicago for the past eight years. Ware also has three years of sales experience at Ancil Reynolds Used Cars.
Local Girl Scouts will soon be out selling cookies to the general public. Advanced sales start Jan. 11, and booth sales begin Feb. 28.
Cookie-lovers everywhere will still be able to purchase the classic Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils and All Abouts. In addition, Girl Scouts are introducing two new members of the cookie family - the Lemon Chalet Crme and the sugar-free Chocolate Chips cookie. All Girl Scout Cookies contain zero trans fats per serving.
Lambuth's Lady Eagles, the defending NAIA Division 1 national champions, used an 18-3 run to end the first half and never looked back in an 85-74 win on Saturday over the Campbellsville University Lady Tigers in the Citizens Bank Classic.
The Lady Eagles took their largest lead, 46-26 at the start of the second half before Campbellsville managed to claw within eight points at 74-66 with 2:47 remaining when Courtney Danis' basket pulled the Lady Tigers within single digits.
Taylor County Elementary School has released its honor roll for the second six-week grading period. Students listed are:

Blues appeal Bowyer red card
The on-loan midfielder was sent off on the hour mark for an altercation with Lee Williamson in the middle of the pitch, a scuffle which also resulted in the North End midfielder being given his marching orders. Referee Phil Dowd dismissed the pair for violent conduct after an alleged headbutt during the incident, an offence that carries a three-match ban. As it stands, Bowyer will now sit out the final game of the season at Reading on Sunday, as well as both legs of a possible play-off semi-final should Birmingham find themselves out of the automatic promotion places. A Football Association regulatory commission will meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the submitted written and DVD evidence. The Blues face the possibility of the current three-match ban being extended should the panel deem the appeal to be frivolous, although that would only affect Birmingham if they drop into the play-offs, as Bowyer's loan ends in the summer. Reading 6/4, Birmingham 6/4, Draw 9/4

An overreaching Arizona prosecutor jails a pair of newsmen.
New Times is hardly the only Arpaio critic. See this Amnesty International condemnation of the treatment of inmates in Maricopa County jails.
The subpoena that Larkin and Lacey are waving like a Fourth of July flag grows out of a trumped-up criminal investigation of New Times for publishing Sheriff Joe's home address three years ago on its Web site as part of its investigation of his real estate deals (see "Sheriff Joe's Real Estate Game," by John Dougherty, July 1, 2004). Arpaio and the county prosecutor, whom New Times admires in the same manner it does Arpaio, say its publication violates state law, hence the grand jury investigation. Like a colossal fishing trawler, the subpoena also demands all notes, records, documents, e-mails, files, etc. related to several New Times articles about Arpaio.
How difficult is it to find Arpaio's home address? It took me five minutes of Web plinking, and I didn't need New Times to find it.
Not since Br'er Rabbit conned Br'er Fox into tossing him into the briar patch has a trickster been as happy as Larkin and Lacey are today. Prior to the arrest, the dispute was local. Today, Larkin and Lacey are national First Amendment martyrs, and the silly law they violated is about to be punctured by the free-speech lobby and every columnist with a keyboard. The law prohibits publication of home addresses on the Web only, not in print or via broadcast. At this late date, it's hard to imagine an appeals court denying Web journalism (is there any other kind?) parity with print and broadcast journalism. That law will soon be history.
The publicity raised by the arrests will bring new national scrutiny and ridicule to Arpaio. Also under the national magnifying glass will be the special prosecutor, whom New Times accuses of misconduct in a lawsuit. (Here's the early local coverage of the story from the Arizona Republic and the East Valley Tribune and the national take from the New York Times, USA Today, and Editor & Publisher.)
Lacey promises his usual unyielding, principled stand against the transgressions of the corrupt and powerful.
"It's going to take them forever to get that information about our readers," Lacey said to me in a phone call. "But your stuff I gave them immediately."
Addendum, Oct. 20: Dang, the First Amendment battle has been averted! Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas has dropped charges against Larkin and Lacey and has recommended that special prosecutor Dennis Wilenchik be removed from his position. But the story doesn't end there. The Arizona Republicreports that "Wilenchik and Thomas are now the subjects of legal and ethical complaints with the State Bar of Arizona.
Never pick a fight with people who buy their whiskey by the truckload, their ink by the tanker, and their pixels at wholesale. Send subpoenas to email@example.com.

Game Of Inches Bites Redskins This Time
11.08.2013 / Blog Posts Redskins
Stephen Czarda, Redskins Blog
Despite appearing on track to have the first winning streak of the season, the Washington Redskins let a 13-point second half led fade away in a bitter 34-27 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.
All season the headlines read that the offense couldn't score in the first half.
That wasn't the case last night.
Robert Griffin III came out guns blazing, throwing three touchdown passes in the first 30 minutes. The performance was a flashback to the second quarter of the Redskins-Cowboys game on Thanksgiving last season.

The Broncos' 31-point fourth quarter outburst was assisted by a Redskins offense that couldn't do anything right.
On their sixth fourth quarter possessions, the Redskins were forced to punt twice and threw four straight interceptions to end the game. The first two were heaved into the air by quarterback Robert Griffin III while the final two came from quarterback ... Read More

Heart of the City is Now Open Fridays: For the latest updates on selection and market news, follow us on facebook or read here:
Holiday Market ClosuresHeart of the City is a year-round rain or shine market and will remain open throughout the holidays. The only day we will close is the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 23. Other than that, we'll be open every Wednesday 7-5:30, Sunday 7-5, and Friday 7-2:30. $94k USDA Grant Awarded to Heart of the City Farmers Market'Farmers Market Promotion Program' Grant For 31 years Heart of the City Farmers Market has operated in San Francisco's United Nations Plaza as an independent, farmer-operated non-profit market with a mission to bring a much-needed source of affordable fresh food to the Mid-Market and Tenderloin "food desert" that for more than three decades has been without an affordable supermarket within walking distance. Heart of the City's mission is to keep costs low for small family farmers through subsidized stall fees, which helps keep produce prices lower for the low-income residents of the Mid-Market and Tenderloin neighborhood. Due to the high rate of poverty in this community, over 80% of CalFresh/SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps) used at San Francisco farmers markets to buy fresh produce are used at Heart of the City Farmers Market. "The amount of purchases made here with an EBT card has grown by 30% each year for the past three years," said Kate Creps, Executive Director of Heart of the City Farmers Market. "For many in this neighborhood, using their food stamp benefits is the only way they can afford to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their diet. We know there are many who don't know they can use their EBT card to shop here but with our limited resources, our ability to promote and staff this program has not been able to meet the rising need." The Department of Agriculture has pledged its support to help change that. $93,778 in federal funding for Heart of the City Farmers Market was announced on September 21, 2012, by Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan as part of the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program, which will provide over $9 million in grants in 2012 to organizations across 39 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for initiatives that bolster the connection between agricultural producers and their consumers while improving access to healthy food and strengthening local economies. "This funding is so exciting for us, because to date this market has been 100% stall fee supported and each project we undertake must be paid for by our farmers, who are struggling to survive in this economy," said Kate Creps. "Consequently our efforts have been limited to what we can do inexpensively with our tiny staff team. These funds will enable us to go above and beyond our current ability to outreach to and support this community." Funds will be used to launch an awareness campaign to promote the use of CalFresh/SNAP benefits (food stamps) to purchase healthy foods at the farmers market and to offset start-up costs of a new year-round farmers market on Fridays to increase access to fresh food for local residents. Farmers Market Promotion Program funds will enable Heart of the City Farmers Market:

Contact us at email@example.com to schedule a farmers market tour to learn more about our small farm families, what they grow, our history and efforts to make it affordable to eat healthy for San Francisco's poorest residents. We also offer on-site workshops in the Tenderloin and surrounding neighborhoods through our "Healthy Heart of the City" campaign. Contact us for more information on scheduling an on-site workshop with our nutrition educators for your community organization. We also provide digital presentations on farming and eating locally that teachers can show in their classrooms. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. In the News: Heart of the City Farmers Donate More Than 1,500 Pounds of Produce Each Day to Tenderloin's Poorest ResidentsHeart of the City farmers have teamed up with Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation to donate produce for free distribution to those in the Tenderloin and Mid-Market neighborhoods who cannot afford to incorporate fresh produce into their diets even with the aid of Heart of the City Farmers Market's EBT program, which enables residents to purchase food from farmers with food stamps. Volunteers from TNDC collect produce donated by farmers at the end of each Wednesday market day and distribute it free to residents at a Free Produce Store in the heart of the Tenderloin. Over 1,300 pounds of produce is donated each day by farmers. On Sundays, Project Open Hand collects produce that they use to deliver healthy meals to residents with mobility challenges. To listen to KGO Radio's spotlight on this effort, click here. Heart of the City Farmers Market is a non-profit with a mission not only to support small-scale farming, but also make fresh produce accessible to everyone and help to create a Healthy Heart of the City. Other "Healthy Heart of the City" Efforts by Farmers Our farmers market is dedicated to nutrition education outreach. Last fall we did 5 workshops in after-school programs and affordable supportive housing buildings (partnering with TNDC, Glide, and the Boys and Girls Club) to teach about produce, farms, and healthy choices, then took participants on tours of the market to meet the farmers in person. We call these our "Healthy Heart of the City Workshops" and have plans for six more this fall. We partner closely with Department of Public Health's Feeling Good Project to offer nutrition education activities for the community and the Office of Women's Health and Chinatown Public Health Center to offer free health resources during market days. Our farmer-run Board has donated over $50,000 to local non-profit organizations since the market was founded. In the News: "Healthy Heart of the City Campaign" Featured in the ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle, August 3: "Heart of the City Farmers' Market, held in the U.N. Plaza near San Francisco's City Hall every Wednesday and Sunday, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and is marking the occasion with a series of workshops and market tours designed for children from the adjacent Tenderloin and Civic Center areas. "Operations Manager Kate Creps said the market has always aimed to serve its community by keeping stall fees for farmers as low as possible - resulting in reasonably priced produce for customers. "We fit into this food vacuum, and we're trying to strengthen our ties with the community and do more outreach," Creps said. "It's a win-win situation."

Meet our featured farmers and vendors. To see previously-featured farmers, click here: Mellow's Nursery and Farm Tony Mellow's family has been farming in the Silicon Valley for four generations, since the 1800s. His grandparents started the first of the family farms, growing apricots, prunes, and pears for the local canneries. His father continued the tradition, adding farms spread across the San Francisco Bay area to grow walnuts and fruit for local canneries and prune dehydrators. Tony always knew he wanted to be a farmer and has been farming since he was 12. In 1966, he started growing pumpkins and miscellaneous vegetables and by 1977 he owned his own ranch in Morgan Hill. He went to the Garden City Farmers' Market in San Jose when it opened. "That was the first of the local farmers' markets, before farmers markets got big" he remembers. Today, he has built his business around farmers markets and says they are the only way small and medium sized farms will survive in an urban area. He has been selling at Heart of the City Farmers Market since the very first day and remembers the huge crowd of people who were lined up before dawn on opening day. There was nowhere else to buy produce if you lived in this neighborhood in 1981, and today is much the same. A painting of Tony selling his goods is incorporated in a mural on Taylor street, which was created as a celebration of neighborhood pride. After 30 years selling here, Tony and his produce are an important part of this neighborhood. It's obvious he loves what he does. Tony is also a very important part of this market, he is a dedicated volunteer on our Board of Directors and is currently serving as Board Treasurer. He helped start the discussion of a Friday market day with the Board that has grown into our August 3 Friday Market grand opening.

Work in Progress
As the recipient of the 2013-14 Dr. Russell G. Mawby Fellowship in Philanthropic Studies, I am working with faculty and staff of GVSU's Johnson Center for Philanthropy to study the philanthropic cultures of Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
I am also writing an analysis of place-based educational initiatives, including the Harlem Children's Zone, Promise Neighborhoods, and Strive, to be published as a book chapter in 2014 by the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Program of the Organization for Cooperation and Economic Development (OECD).
Other Activities and Interests
In addition to my teaching position at GVSU, I am a research fellow at the W.E. Upjohn Institute in Kalamazoo, where I wrote a book about the Kalamazoo Promise. I am part of the planning committee for PromiseNet 2013, and am working with the Lumina Foundation to develop a research agenda around place-based scholarship programs. I also consult to communities interested in development place-based scholarship programs along the lines of the Kalamazoo Promise. I have taught at Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College.
Past professional positions have spanned the fields of non-profit management, finance, research, and academia; positions have included strategic planning consultant at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, vice president for programs at the Twentieth Century Fund (now the Century Foundation), and vice president for research at Salomon Brothers.
A native of Los Angeles, I live in Kalamazoo with my daughter. I serve on two boards: Wellspring/Cori Terry and Dancers, and the First Day Shoe Fund. My extracurricular interests include the arts, tennis, zumba, ice-skating (doing) and hockey (watching), quilting, knitting, and a variety of other crafts.

One, an estimated 78% of people in this country identify themselves as Christian. One would think that being Christian includes the belief in praying but apparently when a republican invokes the thought of praying for help, guidance or intervention, it is ballyhooed by the liberals. Even the Catholic university, Notre Dame is heading this way as they invite President Obama to speak under the defense that it is part of encouraging "civil dialogue" and "religious pluralism." Please, have some backbone and stand up for what you believe in or state that you disagree with the Church and deal with the repercussions.
Two, is the crew at Hardball oblivious to the politicans on the other side of the aisle? From our current President to former President Clinton and Sen. Joe Lieberman (both shown as examples in the post), there are plenty of prominent democrats (or independents) that embrace religion.
Maybe Mr. Matthews should have this discussion at home and with some of the communities (his Roman Catholic family, his Catholic high school, his Catholic college [College of the Holy Cross]), he and his familiy participates in and maybe he'll realize that those of us praying are normal.
Then again, maybe it's just his pure bias coming thru his bully media pulpit.

One in six children has missed out on their first choice of secondary school.
About 74,000 pupils were left disappointed by this year's placements, according to figures from the Department for Education.
A further 20,000 did not receive an offer from any of their three preferred schools – despite acceptance rates being up on last year.
Schools minister Nick Gibb said he was 'pleased' more children had won a place at their preferred school this year. But he added: 'Unfortunately, while progress is being made, we are still some way short of making this a reality for all pupils.
'Parents are faced with an extremely competitive and stressful process for securing a place for their children.
'We want to ease this pressure by creating more good school places, which is the driver behind all our reforms to the education system.' More than 500,000 11-year-olds received a secondary school offer on March 1, which is commonly known as 'national offer day'.
Of those, 85.3 per cent won a place at their first choice school – up 0.7 per cent on 2011 – while 95.9 per cent received an offer at one of their top three choices – up 0.3 per cent on last year.
Just two-thirds of pupils in London were offered a place at their first choice school, according to the figures.
