Taylor Swift Spills On New Album!

So what does Taylor Swift say her next album will be about? Boys and Love of course!

The 20-year-old Nashville princess dished to MTV at the TIME 100 Gala, “[The new album] is going great actually. I’ve been writing it for the last two years, so this summer it’s all about the finishing touches and getting in there in the studio and recording the last couple songs.”

Who does she want to collaborate with next? “Jack White … ’cause he’s awesome. I love his style. I love his writing, and I think he’s an amazing player too, so any kind of collaboration there would be really awesome.”

TELL JJJ: Are you ready for Taylor’s next album?

Taylor Swift is donating $500,000 to flood relief in Nashville, which will go directly to various flood relief organizations in the city (the flooding affected 30 people’s lives in three states).

“Being at home during the storm, I honestly could not believe what was happening to the city and the people I love so dearly,” the 20-year-old country cutie told The Associated Press via e-mail. “Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. I have always been proud to be a Nashvillian, but especially now, seeing the love that runs through this city when there are people in crisis.”

Added Taylor, “Please keep Nashville in your heart. Seeing a picture of the Grande Ole Opry halfway underwater was a kind of heartbreak I can’t describe.” (T-Swift moved to Nashville when she was 14.)

On June 16th, Ke$ha, a Nashville native and resident, will perform during a special flood benefit concert in Nashville.

Miranda Cosgrove recently sat down with Alloy.com to chat about her recent endeavor into the music biz.

The 16-year-old singer/actress opened up about her inspirations, her favorite song and getting to drive around in Venice in a convertible. Check it:

On her inspiration to record an album: “It’s pop rock music with my own edge. I like artists like Gwen Stefani and Pink and Madonna and all the cool girl-powered artists, so I like to think it’s something like that. I just really wanted people to be able to put the CD in and have a really good time listening to it. I have CDs like that, like Ke$ha’s new album. I love to put it on the car and dance and have a good time, so I like songs like that.”

On her favorite song on the album: “I love ‘Disgusting.’ Ke$ha actually wrote that song. It’s probably the funniest song on the album. It says ‘it’s disgusting how I love you.’ And then ‘Kissin’ U,’ the single is one of my favorites.”

On the video concept for “Kissin U”: “The whole song is about a first love, so I just wanted a fun video that had a lot of different little moments with a guy. The whole video is all around the beach so I got to be in Venice for a few days and be on the beach so that was fun. And I got to drive in a really cool convertible. People kept stopping us and were like, ‘Nice ride!’ and we were like, ‘Oh, thanks.’”

History:

St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday celebrated all around the globe to honor the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. Read on to learn more about the origin of the holiday and about the man who inspired it.

When Is St. Patrick’s Day?
Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17th.

Note for 2008: For 2008, the Catholic Church has officially moved St. Patrick’s Day to Saturday, March 15th to avoid a conflict with the Holy Week leading up to Easter Sunday. Most secular establishments in the US and Canada, such as restaurants and bars, will continue to celebrate the holiday on March 17th, and the 17th will remain a national day off from work in Ireland.

Who Was Saint Patrick?
Even though Saint Patrick the patron saint of Ireland and one of the most celebrated religious figures around the world, the factual information about his life and times is quite vague. Most information about St. Patrick has been twisted, embellished, or simply made up over centuries by storytellers, causing much ambiguity about the real life of St. Patrick. However, there are a some elements of his story about which most scholars accept to be true.

According to Coilin Owens, Irish literature expert and Professor Emeritus of English at George Mason University, Saint Patrick is traditionally thought to have lived “between 432-461 A.D., but more recent scholarship moves the dates up a bit.” At the age of sixteen he was kidnapped from his native land of the Roman British Isles by a band pirates, and sold into slavery in Ireland. Saint Patrick worked as a shepherd and turned to religion for solace. After six years of slavery he escaped to the Irish coast and fled home to Britain.

While back in his homeland, Patrick decided to become a priest and then decided to return to Ireland after dreaming that the voices of the Irish people were calling him to convert them to Christianity.

After studying and preparing for several years, Patrick traveled back to Ireland as a Christian missionary. Although there were already some Christians living in Ireland, St. Patrick was able to bring upon a massive religious shift to Christianity by converting people of power. Says Prof. Owens, “[St. Patrick] is credited with converting the nobles; who set an example which the people followed.”

But Patrick’s desire to spread of Christianity was not met without mighty opposition. Prof. Owens explains, “Patrick ran into trouble with the local pagan priesthood, the druids: and there are many stories about his arguments with them as well as his survival of plots against them.” He laid the groundwork for the establishment of hundreds of monasteries and churches that eventually popped up across the Irish country to promote Christianity.

Saint Patrick is also credited with bringing written word to Ireland through the promotion of the study of legal texts and the Bible, says Prof. Owens. Previous to Patrick, storytelling and history were reliant on memory and orally passing down stories.

Patrick’s mission in Ireland is said to have lasted for thirty years. It is believe he died in the 5th century on March 17, which is the day St. Patrick’s Day is commemorated each year.

The first year St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated in America in 1737 in Boston, Massachusetts. The first official St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1766. As the saying goes, on this day “everybody is Irish!” Over 100 U.S. cities now hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades.

Facts:

Below you will find a list of fun facts we’ve assembled about the Irish holiday St. Patrick’s Day.

Facts about St. Patrick’s Day Holiday

• St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland, and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
• In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair.
• Many cities have a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Dublin, the capital of Ireland, has a huge St. Patrick’s Day festival from March 15-19, that features a parade, family carnivals, treasure hunt, dance, theatre and more. In North American, parades are often held on the Sunday before March 17. Some paint the yellow street lines green for the day! In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green with a special dye that only lasts a few hours. There has been a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Boston, Massachusetts since 1737. Montreal is home to Canada’s longest running St. Patrick’s Day parade, which began in 1824.

Facts about Saint Patrick

• St. Patrick was born in 385 AD somewhere along the west coast of Britain, possibly in the Welsh town of Banwen. At age 16, he was captured and sold into slavery to a sheep farmer. He escaped when he was 22 and spent the next 12 years in a monastery. In his 30s he returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary. He died at Saul in 461 AD and is buried at Downpatrick.

Facts about the Irish

• The harp is the symbol of Ireland. The color green is also commonly associated with Ireland, also known as “The Emerald Isle.”
• The Irish flag is green, white and orange. The green symbolizes the people of the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that brings them together as a nation.
• The name “lephrechaun” has several origins. It could be from the Irish Gaelic word “leipreachan,” which means “a kind of aqueous sprite.” Or, it could be from “leath bhrogan,” which means “shoemaker.”

February is Black History Month!!!

African-Americans and Canadians have made tremendous contributions to every facet of life—from science to music to athletics. Here are just a few historical African-Americans everyone should know:

Sojourner Truth
(1797–1883)

Truth began her life as a slave named Isabella Baumfree. In 1826, she escaped and devoted the rest of her life to the complete abolishment of slavery and the women’s rights movement. She changed her name to Sojourner Truth in 1843.

Harriet Tubman
(1820-1913)

Born a slave, Tubman eventually escaped slavery and helped hundreds of Southern slaves escape to the northern U.S. and Canada through the Underground Railroad, earning the name Moses for her determination.

Mary Ann Shadd
(1823–1893)

Shadd holds two titles: first female black lawyer and first female newspaper editor in North America. She was one of the first people to push for complete integration and opened the first school in Canada open to all races.

Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong
(1900–1971)

One of the most influential artists of all time, Satchmo helped turn jazz from so-called novelty music into fine art. His trumpet technique and style is still copied today.

Robert Johnson
(1911–1938)

A pioneer of American blues music, this guitarist influenced rock musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and B.B. King. Many of his songs are considered blues standards.

Jesse Owens
(1913-2005)

As an Ohio State University college athlete in a still segregated America, Owens could not eat meals with his white team members at restaurants or stay in the same hotels or dorms. Instead he was designated to “blacks only” eateries and sleeping quarters. But through it all he remained strong, and at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Owens became the first American athlete in the history of Track and Field to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.

Rosa Parks
(1913-2005)

Little did Parks know that one gesture would help spark the civil rights movement of the last century. In 1955, while riding a bus in Alabama, the driver told Parks to give up her seat to a white man. She refused, went to jail, and eventually won a case against the state, changing segregation laws forever.

Jackie Robinson
(1919–1972)

The first black player in Major League Baseball, Robinson had bottles and insults thrown his way, yet he still managed to become Rookie of the Year and in his second season, League MVP.

Sidney Poitier
(1924–)

In 1963, Poitier became the first African-American to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. As an actor and director, he is often credited as the person who broke the motion picture color barrier, paving the way for blacks in film.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
(1929–1968)

This civil-rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner organized large anti-violence demonstrations against discrimination including a march on Washington where he delivered his now-famous speech “I have a dream.”

What is Thanksgiving Day?

Thanksgiving Day is a day set aside each year where people in the United States and Canada give thanksto God for all the blessings they received during the year by feasting and prayer.

History of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day first started in New England. It was for thanking God for the abundant harvest of crops. This is usually somewhere in late fall when the crops have been harvested. People from many parts of the world have been holding some kind of harvest festivals for thousands of years. They just called it by different names, for example :

U.K. – Harvest Festival UK
China – mid-autumn festival
Korea – Chu Suk, or also known as the Harvest Moon Festival.
India – Indian Harvest Festival

American Thanksgiving Day is probably a harvest festival at the beginning too. The first Thanksgiving Day in America was on December 4, 1619. At that time, it was a fully religious thing. A group of 38 English settlers arrived at Berkeley Plantation via the James river (near Charles City, Va) on December 4, 1619 and their charter required that the day of their arrival be observed yearly as a day of thanksgiving to God.

In New England, the first Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in Plymouth in 1621 by the Pilgrims together with 91 Indians. The Pilgrims first set foot at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. The first winter in Massachusetts was really bad and 46 out of the original 102 Pilgrims died. It is believed that the Indians helped the Pilgrims through that difficult period and without them, the Pilgrims would not have survived.

In the following Spring of 1621, Samoset of the Wampanoag Tribe and Squanto of the Patuxtet tribe, taught the survivors how to plant corn or maize and how to catch alewives, a kind of fish to be used as a fertilizer for growing pumpkins, beans, peas and other crops. These two braves also taught the Pilgrims the art of hunting and angling. Things got better in 1621 when the corn and pumpkin harvest was bountiful. Governor William Bradford made arrangements to celebrate the bountiful harvest and to recognize the help given to the colonists by the Indians with a feast. The feast was more of an English Harvest festival celebration and it lasted for three days. Governor William Bradford sent four men out “fowling” after ducks and geese but it is not very sure if it included the turkey. The Pilgrims used to call any type of wild fowl, turkey. Unfortunately, this celebration was not repeated for many years. In June 20, 1676, the governing council or Charlestown and Massachusetts held a meeting and by a unanimous vote, they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a Thanksgiving Day. The Indians were not included this time as the celebration was more about the Pilgrims’ recent victory over the natives.

This custom soon spread from Plymouth to other New England colonies. In October 1777, all the 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration. This thanksgiving celebration was to commemorate the victory over the British at the Battle of Saratoga during the Revolutionary war. Eight days of thanksgiving was observed. This celebration was not repeated.

In 1789, President George Washington issued a general proclaimation naming November 26 a day of National Thanksgiving. Some were opposed to it as many felt it was not right to celebrate when there were hardships among some pilgrims.

At the same time that year, the Protestant Episcopal Church announced that the first Thursday in November would be set aside yearly for giving thanks. However, it was only in 1830 when New York had an official state Thanksgiving Day that other Northern states soon followed. Virginia, in 1855, became the first southern state to adopt this custom.

How did Thanksgiving Day became a holiday?

During the 1800s, a famous editor of the Ladies’ Magazine and Godey’s Lady’s Book by the name of Sarah Josepha Hale (author of “Mary had a little lamb”) worked many years to promote the idea of a National Thanksgiving Day. She was credited for persuading President Abraham Lincoln to declare Thanksgiving a national holiday. Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November 1863 as “A day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father.” However, in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed it to one week earlier. This was to help businesses by lengthening the shopping period before Christmas. There was an uproar and it was changed back to its original date two years later. Then, Congress changed it again after 1941 to the fourth Thursday of November and it would be a legal federal holiday.

Today, Thanksgiving Day is usually a family reunion dinner celebration. Roast turkey is a favorite dish on this day. The Christians also attend church services and pray, thanking God for all the blessings for the year.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Traditional thanksgiving dinners those days usually includes turkeys, cranberries, fish, dried fruit, clams, venison, plums and lobsters. Modern times thanksgiving dinners include the pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional “first Thanksgiving” is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s. This Thanksgiving, modeled after celebrations that were commonplace in contemporary Europe, is generally regarded as America’s first. Elementary school teacher Robyn Gioia has argued that the earliest attested “thanksgiving” celebration in what is now the United States was celebrated by the Spanish on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Canada

United States

Grenada

In Grenada there is a national holiday of Thanksgiving Day on 25 October. It is unrelated to holidays in Canada and the United States even though it bears the same name and occurs around the same time. It marks the anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of the island in 1983 in response to the deposition and execution of Grenadan Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.

Netherlands

A Thanksgiving Day service is held in Hooglandse Kerk to commemorate the hospitality the Pilgrims received in Leiden on their way to the New World.

Make sure you ask your parents some help.

This silly Thanksgiving centerpiece takes very little time to assemble and is bound to elicit some giggles from your guests. Just be sure not to leave it unsupervised while its plumage is lit.

Materials

• Medium-size pumpkin without a stem
• Large serving platter
• Large kitchen knife
• Large butternut squash with a stem
• Wooden skewers, halved
• Craft knife

• 2 dried black-eyed peas or other dried beans
• Metal-tipped vegetable peeler
• 6 or more dripless or drip-resistant taper candles
• Toothpicks
• Sun-dried tomato

Instructions

1. Prop the pumpkin at an angle on the platter so the top points up at a 45-degree slant. If it doesn’t balance easily, use a knife to cut a slice from underneath to create a flat base.
2. Cut off the top 5 inches of a large butternut squash for the turkey head, then attach it to the top of the pumpkin with skewer halves. Use the tip of a vegetable peeler or a craft knife to dig out 2 small slits for the eyes and push a dried black-eyed pea into each slit.
3. Cut the sides from the bottom half of the butternut squash, then use a craft knife to cut V shapes into each piece for turkey toes. Set the feet in place on the platter.
4. Mark the candle holes toward the back of the pumpkin, at least an inch apart. Don’t place them too far down the back; the candles should stick out at a slight angle, no more than 45 degrees, or they’ll drip.
5. Use a craft knife or the tip of a vegetable peeler to cut the holes, making sure they are slightly smaller than the candles, for a snug fit. If you cut the holes too big, wrap tinfoil or a pipe cleaner around the base of each candle, then push it into the hole far enough so that it’s stable.
6. For a wattle, bend a piece of sun-dried tomato over the top of the beak and, if necessary, secure it with a piece of toothpick.

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors.
If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors.
Make sure you ask your parents some help.

What better way to welcome your guests to the table than with a flock of these big-footed fowls! They are easy for you and your friends to put together and make great holiday favors, perfect for holding notes, recipe cards, or a favorite photo.

Materials

• Tan polymer clay, approximately 1 ounce per foot base (we used Premo by Sculpey in ecru)
• Butter knife
• Cloth-covered floral wire, 20-gauge
• Wire cutters
• Mini clothespins
• Scissors or pinking shears

• Card stock in 6 colors, including light brown, tan, white, and red

• Tacky glue
• Black marker
• Colored marker or crayon (for writing name cards)

Instructions

1. For each turkey, mold 1 ounce of polymer clay into a 1/2-inch-thick fan shape, as shown, then use a butter knife to cut V shapes for toes. Make a small hole in the middle of the foot base by pushing floral wire halfway through. Be sure not to press the wire all the way through. Remove the wire and bake the base according to the package directions.
2. Meanwhile, push one end of a 6-inch piece of floral wire through the metal spring of a mini clothespin (the beak), bend it around the pin, and twist it back around the wire. Next, use scissors or pinking shears to cut out 3 semicircles in graduated sizes from different colors of card stock. Cut a small light-brown oval for the head, a tan beak, and a red wattle. You can download templates here.
3. Stick together all the pieces with double-sided tape to make a turkey and glue it to a clothespin.
4. When the foot base is cool, insert the wire into the hole. If it fits loosely, add a dab of tacky glue to the end of the wire, push it into the hole, and allow it to dry.
5. Finally, make a name card for each guest and clip it in the turkey’s beak.
