Asian Chevrons
|Now that you have created so many miniature outfits for Dolly, it is time to create something classy and elegant for yourself.
By Barbara Weiland
Interlocking points and oriental prints create the patchwork panels in this simple cardigan. No need to shy away from the inside points in this pieced marvel when you follow this foolproof method.
Finished Size
Your size
Patchwork with inset corners
Project Note: Jacket shown and yardage given is for a size medium cardigan-style jacket with a back length of approximately 29 inches, not including the stand-up, cut-on collar; smaller sizes and different styles may require less and larger sizes may require additional yardage for the chevrons.
- Cardigan-style jacket pattern (no front overlap or buttons)
- 44/45-inch-wide cotton prints:
- 7/8 yard each 6 or 7 coordinating Asian prints (or other theme)
- 1/2 yard contrasting print or solid for binding
- Lightweight cotton flannel in the yardage listed for the jacket on the pattern envelope, plus 1/2 yard
- Coordinating print or solid fabric for lining/foundation in yardage indicated on the pattern envelope, plus 1/2 yard
- 1/4-inch presser foot
- All-purpose thread to blend with fabric colors
- Notions as directed on the pattern envelope
- Air- or water-soluble marking pen
- Optional: temporary spray adhesive
- Optional: approximately 5 yards narrow flexible braid trim
- Rotary cutter, mat and ruler
- Basic sewing tools and equipment
- Preshrink all fabrics before you begin. Press to remove wrinkles and trim away the selvages.
- Measure the width of the fabrics. If your fabrics are not 42 inches wide at this point, you will probably need to cut an additional strip from each fabric in order to cut the required number of rectangles from each strip. It will depend on the jacket length and size. After creating the patchwork panels for the fronts, you will probably be able to determine if you will need additional rectangles.
- From each of at least six coordinating prints, for size medium and up, cut four 6 x 42-inch strips. Cut 6 x 10-inch rectangles from each strip. For smaller sizes, cut four strips each 5 x 42 inches and cut each strip into 5 x 10-inch rectangles. Depending on the size, style and length of your jacket, you may need to cut an additional strip from each fabric for additional rectangles. Determine this as you work through the patchwork design and assembly steps.
- Position a folded rectangle on the rotary-cutting mat with the long raw edges even with the 45-degree-angle line and the corner at the cut edges located at the point of a square as shown in Figure 1.
- Cut away the corner as shown in Figures 2a and 2b.
- Adjust the piece so the lower corner of the folded rectangle is at the intersection of two lines on the rotary-cutting mat and the cut edges are aligned with the 45-degree line. Cut away the corner (Figure 3).
- Open each rectangle to reveal a chevron (Figure 4). Discard the triangle cutaways or set aside for another patchwork project.
- Repeat the above steps to cut chevrons from all remaining rectangles.
- From the coordinating fabric for the lining/foundation, cut a rectangle large enough to accommodate each of the jacket pieces plus a little extra all around -- two sleeves, two fronts and one back (Figure 5). Each rectangle should be slightly larger than the length and width of the pattern piece and cut on grain. Repeat with the lightweight cotton flannel.
- From the binding fabric, cut five strips each 2 1/2 inches wide, cutting across the fabric width.
Note: Fold the rectangles in half lengthwise with wrong sides facing and raw edges even. Press lightly to create a center crease in each one. If you have cut the rectangles in a double layer, you can fold them together carefully rather than separating them for this step. Do not fold more than a double layer of rectangles to preserve accuracy.
Note: Do not press the rectangles to remove the center crease.
Patchwork Assembly
Note: Use 1/4-inch-wide seam allowances for the patchwork.
- Adjust the stitch length on the sewing machine to 15 stitches per inch and attach the 1/4-inch presser foot if available.
- Beginning and ending 1 inch from the inward point on each chevron, stitch exactly 1/4 inch from the raw edge and pivot precisely at the pressed crease line.
- Draw a line 5/8 inch from the front edge of the jacket front pattern piece and trim away the pattern at this line; repeat at the back neckline edge. This eliminates the seam allowance, since you will be binding the edge instead of adding a facing.
- Adjust the pattern to fit your figure before proceeding. Place the right front pattern piece face up on the work surface and arrange a row of chevrons along the front edge of the jacket pattern; use enough chevrons to completely cover the pattern from the upper to lower edge plus a few inches extra to allow for seaming loss when the pieces are sewn together. For most sizes and styles, each vertical row of patchwork will require five chevrons to adequately cover the length of the pattern pieces.
- Add a second row of chevrons with the point in the opposite direction (see completed patchwork panels in Figure 8). Note that the upper and lower edges will be jagged. Add a third row of chevrons (necessary for most sizes from medium up) with the points in the same direction as in the first row. Pin the chevrons to the pattern tissue temporarily.
- Move the right front pattern and the chevrons to your sewing machine or a location nearby so that you can sew the pieces together in each row to create the patchwork strips. Remove the pins, leaving the chevrons in the established positions.
- Working on one row of chevrons at a time, join the chevrons; press all seams toward the outward points in each strip. Replace the completed strips in position on the pattern piece.
- Sew the chevron rows together for the right jacket front, taking care to match the chevron seams at each 1/4-inch seam intersection where they cross. Return the pattern piece with patchwork strips to the work surface, and check the upper areas to make sure that the entire pattern piece is covered. If necessary, add another chevron to the upper end of the row where needed. You will need to undo a bit of the vertical seam to add the extra chevron and then re-stitch (Figure 7).
- Arrange chevrons on the wrong side of the jacket front pattern piece in a mirror-image arrangement of the right front patchwork panel you just completed. Sew the chevrons together in rows and sew the rows together as you did for the right front (Figure 8). Set the completed front panels aside.
- Working on the sleeve pattern piece, create the chevron rows for the sleeve as you did for the jacket fronts. This time, though, begin with a row for the center of the sleeve, and then add the required number of rows at each side of the center row. Most sleeves will require three rows of chevron strips. Press the long seams toward the underarm edges (Figure 9).
- Repeat the process for the jacket back, creating five rows of chevron strips with the first one centered over the center-back line on the jacket. Sew the strips together when you are sure they are long enough to entirely cover the back pattern piece. Press all seams away from the center strip of chevrons toward the side seam edges (Figure 10).
- Apply a light coat of temporary spray adhesive to the wrong side of one rectangle of lightweight flannel for the jacket front, and smooth the adhesive-coated side onto the wrong side of a matching lining rectangle. Repeat with the remaining rectangles for each of the jacket pieces.
- Apply a light coat of temporary spray adhesive to the wrong side of each patchwork panel and smooth in place on top of the flannel. Check the vertical seam lines and make sure they are parallel to the straight-grain edge of the rectangle. Use a long rotary ruler to help with this step. If you prefer not to use the spray adhesive, carefully arrange the three layers, smooth out wrinkles, align the vertical seam lines, and then place straight pins across the vertical seam lines to secure the layers for the next step.
- Stitch in the ditch of all vertical seams to attach the patchwork to the flannel and the lining in one step. Stitch in the ditch of all remaining seams of the patchwork that cross the vertical lines (Figure 11).
- Repeat the above steps to apply the patchwork panels to their corresponding layers of flannel and lining and add trim if desired.
Note: Do not press to remove the crease line; you will need it to assist in positioning the pieces for perfect pivots at the points.
Clip the threads and clip the inward corner of each chevron to within a thread of the stitching (Figure 6).
Jacket Cutting & Assembly
- Position the pattern pieces on the panels and cut out. When cutting the jacket fronts, place the lower edge along the inward points of the chevrons as shown in Figure 7. Take care to match the chevron seam lines at the center front and be sure to cut a right and left front (Figure 12).
- When cutting the back, place the lower edge at the inward points of the patchwork panel and position the center-back fold at the center of the middle of the strip of chevrons. Cut the first half, and then flip the pattern piece to cut the remaining half of the back (Figure 13).
- Center the sleeve on the patchwork panel and position the pattern piece so the chevrons will line up across the sleeves and jacket front and back as closely as possible (Figure 14). Cut out one sleeve. Flip the cutout sleeve facedown onto the remaining patchwork panel and line up vertical and horizontal zigzag seam lines before cutting.
- Sew the jacket side and shoulder seams and insert the sleeves following the pattern guidesheet directions. Press the shoulder and side seams open and finish seam edges with serging or a Hong Kong finish.
- Try on the jacket and turn up the lower edges of the sleeve and jacket to the desired finished lengths. Pin in place, and then press and remove the pins. Cut away the hem allowances to prepare for the binding.
- Sew the 2 1/2-inch-wide binding strips together using bias seams to make one long strip. Press the seams open.
- Fold the binding strip in half lengthwise with wrong sides facing and raw edges aligned; press. Use the strip to bind all raw edges of the jacket. Stitch to the right side with a 3/8-inch-wide seam. Press the binding toward the seam allowance and turn to the inside. Hand-stitch in place or pin in place and stitch in the ditch from the right side. Miter corners as you reach them.
- Optional: If desired, position flexible braid trim along the inner edge of the binding and stitch in place. Outline the sleeve seam in the same manner.
Note: For best results, cut the right front first and then remove the pattern piece. Place the right front facedown on the remaining front patchwork panel, matching chevron points throughout and especially at the front edge to ensure that the chevrons will line up straight across the jacket fronts in the finished jacket. Cut the left front.

I've been woodworking since Junior High School. I even flunked out of wood shop in the 10th grade. The teacher knew my Dad (Also a woodworker). Kept telling on me. So for the whole year I only made 1 shadowbox.
Took a break from wood working to go into the Air Force. After 4 years went to college to get a degree in Computer science. 4 years later got a job working as a Computer Software Engineer. Been doing this for 34 years.
Do wood working to relieve stress. Not great at any one thing. Jump from the lathe to the scroll saw to finish work in the house.
Love to try Intarsia some time. God knows i have boxes and boxes of scraps lying around. Want to make some wooden gear clocks. Got 5 plans for them. never started. Love working on the Lathe. Never know what the wood is going to look like.

Thanks Barbs. This is my 4th workshop. Started out with it being in 1/4 of basement in New Hampshire. Then Moved to Ohio and it grew to a little over 1/4. Moved again to Texas and it grew to 1/2 of basement. Now got to take over 3/4 in Colorado. Of course the more room you get the more toys you have to buy.

Almost all of the chatter in the run up to the match centered on strategy - on how Martin Rennie would deal with "El Chelis's" unconventional 3-5-2. But in the end, it wasn't strategy but execution, or lack of it that cost the Caps for the second week in a row.
Chivas got on the board early in the 12' when a shot from Carlos Alvarez took a deflection off Jun Marques Davidson, and past Joe Cannon who was leaning the other way to make the save.
Davidson had a truly horrendous outing - committing turnovers through poor passing and dispossession with disturbing regularity. Both of the Caps fullbacks looked out of sorts at different times and for different reasons.
Y. P. Lee gave up too much ground too easily in the defensive third, and struggled all evening to serve even an acceptable ball into the Chivas box from the flank. Lee looked tired, and given that in the recent off-season the Whitecaps clearly outlined a desire to provide him with opportunities to rest this year, next week's match in San Jose would be a good chance for the team to follow through in that regard.
In the second half, Alain Rochat was the goat on the second Chivas tally, as he was inexplicably drawn far too much to his right, essentially double-teaming Jose Correa with Brad Rusin on a long ball from the far flank. Eric Avila came through unmarked at the back post and volleyed easily past Cannon. Earlier in the match, in similar style, Rochat came across to play centerback, was nutmegged easily by Agudelo , and was very lucky that a streaking Avila only hit the side netting.
On the attacking front, things didn't go very much better. Darren Mattocks (twice), Kekutah Manneh (breakaway), and Daigo Kobayashi (rebound) all managed to miss Grade A chances to score.
Kenny Miller came on a sub in the 57', and scored on a diving header shortly thereafter when Dan Kennedy could only parry a blast from Erik Hurtado at the top of the penalty area. The Caps put Chivas under a great deal of pressure in the final 25 minutes, but failed at every turn to put the ball into the net.
Vancouver falls to 2-2-2, and 6th place in the Western Conference.

For close to 300 years, inflation in the US remained very subdued. Small spurts occurred around major wars (Revolutionary, Civil, WW1, etc), but after each, inflation quickly trended back down to its long-term baseline. If you lived during this stretch of time, your money had roughly the same purchasing power your great-grandfather's did. » Read more

The current bubble in financial assets -- in both equities and bonds of all grades and quality -- raging in every major market across the globe is no accident.
It's a deliberate creation. An intentional result of policy.
Therefore, when it bursts, we shouldn't regard the resulting damage as some freak act of nature or other such outcome outside of our control. To reiterate, the carnage will be the very predictable result of our terribly shortsighted decision-making and defective logic. » Read more
Peak Prosperity
At the exponential pace at which the Fed is increasing the money supply, and knowing the huge challenges the Fed – and most other world central banks - face in trying to stop or even slow down their money printing, the potential for a disruptive global inflationary period is very real.
So what exactly is quantitative easing? » Read more

It is still a mystery to many historians as to how and why this World War I led to the slaughter of nine million people. But analysis of different parties to the original event, pursuing their own vested interests without a grasp of the bigger picture, certainly rings true of the Ukrainian situation today with regards to the West, embodied in a disparate committee called NATO. The similarity with the chaotic diplomacy that led to WW1 stops there: Russia under Vladimir Putin's leadership appears to have a good grasp of its objective. » Read more
Looking at the past 100 years of the US dollar's history, one theme becomes abundantly clear: in times of crisis, the US government has no issue with changing its own rules or breaking its own laws. And those "temporary" emergency measures have a nasty habit of quickly becoming permanent. » Read more
The US is clearly now pushing Russia towards war. But if you read the signs correctly, Russia has been preparing for exactly this outcome for many years.
Out of several reasons that US power brokers specifically -- but western power brokers more generally -- are deeply unhappy with Russia right now is that Russia is committing a cardinal sin: it is openly, brazenly calling for an end to dollar dominance and has moved aggressively with China to achieve that aim. » Read more

For reasons that have no rational explanations at this time, the US and Europe have embarked on a concerted program to demonize Putin, ostracize Russia, and bring the world as close to a major conflict as it's been since the Cold War, a time hardly memorable to many in the current crop of our elected officials. » Read more

ACC schedule through 2024 announced
Ugh...how the conference hasn't looked at divisional realignment at all is absurd. And how they're just slotting Louisville in as Maryland is equally stupid. All it takes is a minor tweak to have UL/VT and UVA/BC as annual cross overs (if we have to have those...we shouldn't). All four of those teams would probably much prefer that.

The Bills are lacking in the WR department, but you already knew this. Here's a look at some players that have the potential to become available. After the post, feel free to leave your comments on the players on this list or the players you'd add to this list.Headed to the Practice Squad?
There is alot of buzz (alot? maybe not.. but a little buzz at the very least) of the fear of losing players we dont sign to the roster (headed to the PS) to poaching teams. So I would like to turn the tables for a minute and look at players that are in PS territory for other teams that OBD could/ should be keeping their eyes on.
1. Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Bengals
Briscoe is a goner if the Bengals decided to send him to PS. I'm not sure the Bengals have a choice. The Bengals have rediculous talent at the Wide Reciever position. As of now they have Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens, Antonio Bryant, Jordan Shipley, Jerome Simpson, and Andre Caldwell.
2. Carlton Mitchell, WR, Browns
Its looking like Mitchell is going to be a bubble guy. I doubt the Browns organization delegate him to Practice Squad duties. But if so, I bet other teams are paying attention.
3. David Gettis, WR, Panthers
The Panthers have some decisions to make with their roster in regards to the Wide reciever position. Could Gettis get the PS treatment? not sure. but it may be a possibility.
In addition to the names above, I'd add Antonio Brown to this list. With the ousting of Holmes this offseason and with Ward a year or two away from a retirement home, Pittsburgh could use some help at WR. He is likely to make the roster in Pittsburgh and was (reportedly) ahead of Sanders in spring workouts. It is doubtful he ends up on the practice squad. If he somehow makes the PS in Pittsburgh, I'd like to see the Bills pick him up.
Roster Cuts?
Inevitably, the numbers game will catch up with a few players,...
1. Patrick Crayton, WR, Cowboys
I'm not crazy about his hands.. but he has been fairly productive when given a chance.
2 and 3. Brandon Stokley/ Brandon Lloyd, WRs, Broncos. I'd prefer Stokley of the two Brandons. If either become available, I feel both are worth looking into.
4. Vincent Jackson, WR, Chargers. Is it possible he is cut? Maybe. Is it possible that buffalo wants him? probably not. Is it possible that I would like to see him in a buffalo jersey? maybe. (yes)
5 and 6. Earl Bennett/ Juaquin Iglesius, WR, Bears. I dont have any insight on either of these two. I remember both from predraft hype. After being drafted I havent heard much of either.
7. Jerome Simpson, WR, Bengals Simpson is in the same boat as the two above. I remembered him being able to catch anything thrown his way, but struggle to separate, and had problems running routes. I dont remember hearing much of his name since being drafted last year. (given Cincinnati's current WR situation, I dont know if they have room to keep their former 2nd round draft pick)
8. Logan Payne, WR, 2nd year, started in Seattle, now is battling for the 5th wr roster spot in Vikings camp.
9. Sam Hurd, WR, Cowboys. Known more for his special teams abilities. Maybe not an Ideal addition for the Bills, but worth taking a look anyways.
10. Mark Bradley is currently in the Saints camp, but should get cut. Worth taking a look? Im not sure.
Okay, so I don't exactly have inside information on any of these guys,.. Regardless, there's the list. (for what its worth, I'd like to get Logan Payne and Antonio Brown from the two lists) Also, you don't have to remind me that Nix probably wont add a WR and wants to see what he has got in his current WRs. I know this, He had ever opportunity to land any number of talented wide receivers this off-season (and didn't.) So why would he add a wide reciever now? maybe he realizes he's one twisted ankle away from starting Steve Johnson and Roscoe Parrish...

I should start by saying that I am aware that what this posts suggests is EXTREMELY unlikely. So please try to resist the urge to verbally castrate me. I'm not privy to the inner workings of the business aspects of the NFL, so I'm more interested as to whether it is POSSIBLE, or are there rules built into the system that render it a moot point.
With that said, could Manning renegotiate his contract to a ridiculously low amount? I'm not Peyton's accountant, but I'd say that the guy ain't hurting for money. Not to mention that he surely has a lot of earning potential left in either coaching, broadcasting, dancing. It was just a "what if" fantasy scenario that I brought up discussing the Colts recently with a friend of mine. On the surface there would seem to be many advantages to this move, the most obvious is the relief it would provide to the Colts salary cap. They could use the additional funds this would free up to address the obvious holes on this team as well as make Luck an offer that may offset the dissatisfaction he would feel from setting on the bench for 2-3 years. And not that Manning needs it, but imagine what this act would also do for his legacy. Heck they'd put up statues of him in Baltimore! Johnny who?
It may be the only way to have the win/win situation that everyone is dreaming about. Manning with the talent on a team to win a championship now, and Luck for the future of the franchise. Peyton, are you listening?
I realize that this is so much easier said than done, but like the title of this posts implies, if it were me I think I'd at least attempt it. You see, I'm used to sacrifice. I did 20 plus years in the Army as an enlisted man, retired in 2005, and I'm writing this post on Thanksgiving evening from northern Afghanistan where I'm finishing up a 6 month tour as a civilian deployed with America's finest.
Go Colts!

Black Music Festival, Potternewton Park (Chapeltown)
27th August 1989. Image taken on Bank Holiday Sunday, 27th August 1989, at the Black Music Festival held annually in Potternewton Park. It is a free community event sponsored by Leeds City Council and is the biggest Black Music Festival in Europe. This was the fourth Leeds Reggae Concert and included musicians and performers from the Caribbean and the U.S.A. In this image Jamaican Dub poet, Ras Fikre, is performing to the crowds. As well as the more well known artists, the Festival is also a showcase for local talent.

Chapeltown Road, west side, numbers 281A, the Sikh Temple (Gurdwara) (Potternewton) (2 comments)
22nd January 2006. View of The Sikh Temple (Gurdwara) at number 281A Chapeltown Road. The Grade II listed building was originally the Newton Park (Union Church) Congregational Baptist, built in 1887 to designs by Leeds Architect, Archibald Neill. The church is in the Gothic Revival Style and on the west side the three light gabled central window can be seen. The 520 seater church was built at a cost of £6,500 in front of the site of the former chapel. On an Ordnance Survey map dated 1952 it was no longer a church but was in use as the Royal Airforce Association Club. The original old chapel at the rear was the premises of the Old Central Hebrew Congregational Synagogue at this time. The building in the photograph became The Sikh Temple c1963. It has the Khanda, the emblem of the Sikh religion, above the porch. The Khanda is a double edged sword representing the separation of truth from falsehood. The circle symbolises the perfection of God, who is eternal and is called the Chakar. The two outer curved swords, or Kirpans, remind a Sikh of the equal importance of spiritual aspirations and obligations to society. Photograph courtesy of James William Bell.

15 hundredths of a second between McClain and the other Top 10 middle linebackers. Big deal. At first I thought, "What's that, a couple inches?"
Then I took the Wayback Machine to my high school days, inverted some fractions, cross multiplied, carried the one, and presto-chango — maybe it is a big deal.
A 4.5 guy runs 320 inches per second.
A 4.7 guy runs 306 inches per second.
So it's about one foot per second, maybe two yards difference over the course of a six-second play (I don't think the speed would factor much, if at all, in short time/short distance runs between the tackles).
So, potentially it is a very big deal.
Then I looked at the All-Pro middle linebackers since 2000. (Not scientific, just random sample of ESPN, AP, etc.)
The only real speed guy (I think) was Patrick Willis (4.35 or so). The rest were high 4.5s, or in the 4.6s or even a 4.7-something or two.
If anyone has the time and inclination, you could find the MLBs with the fastest 40s and see how they've performed in the NFL.
I guess my perspective is that speed is good, but it doesn't appear to be the most significant factor in predicting how a MLB will perform.

Years before the roaring 20's, the war to end all wars and the great depression Cait Murphy captures some of Baseball's greatest moments. In the year of 1908 the poem Take Me Out to the Ballgame was written, Ford's first Model T rolled off the assembly line, Mother's Day was celebrated for the first time and the Boy Scouts were formed. It was also the year that three baseball teams fought to the wire and the honor of playing Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers in the World Series.
1908 was a year of financial panic; banks were unable to extend credit to customers because of a cash shortage. The fallout caused jobs to be lost by the thousands, companies everywhere were filing for bankruptcy and many Americans were out in the streets. Business was nearly at a standstill and the credit system was entirely wrecked. Too bad none of us can relate to those times.
In 2007 three teams in the NL were competing for the last playoffs spot, until the final weekend of the season. Contrast that to 1908 when three teams were in contention to represent the NL in the World Series until the last day of the season, remember the league championship was not played until 1969! In 2007 the Wild Card would be decided in a playoff between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres, a game that went down in annals as one of the greatest games of all time. In 1908 the National League Champion was decided in a playoff between the Chicago Cubs and New York Giants in the Polo Grounds. It was a winner take-all match which only came about because of a previous game which later became famously known as "the Merkle game."
The "Merkle game" was the second in a three game series between the Cubs and Giants. Played at the Polo Grounds in front of an estimated 30,000 people the score is tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs a man on 3rd and Giants rookie Fred Merkle on 1st. The Giant's batter slaps a line drive over 2nd base into centerfield nearly hitting the umpire and knocking him to the ground. The runner touches home plate to a mob of backslapping Giants and the jubilant crowd charges out of the stands and on to the field. It appears the Giants have won the game, but in the confusion 2B Evers calls to the CF for the ball and is intercepted by the Giants firstbase coach who then throws the ball into the crowd. The ball is finally retrieved and thrown to Evers standing on second, where Merkle should have been. In the confusion, Merkle ran towards the clubhouse in rightfield to escape the crowd, thinking the game was over. The umpires fight through the crowd and confer under the grandstands. The umpire on 2nd states he never saw the play because he was flipped by the line drive. The plate umpire Hank O'Day makes the call, Merkle never touched 2nd and baseball rules are specific, a force out nullifies the run. The field can't be cleared; daylight is running out, so O'Day calls the game a tie! The game is replayed on October 8, 1908 with the World Series on the line.
Honus Wagner – The shortstop was one of the charter members in the Hall of Fame, and considered the greatest player of his time. Honus' season begins with a holdout which lasts through the 3rd game. Wagner claims he wants to retire and raise chickens. It is a soft holdout and the Pirates owner finally caves and offers Honus $10,000 a year contract to play. Interesting fact players are serenaded by the hometown band when approaching home plate for an AB. On Wagners first appearance in Pittsburgh he is serenaded with the song: I was only Teasing you.
In a July 4th game against the Cubs there is a close play at home where the Pirate is called out and Wagner convincingly argues the call diagramming the play in the dirt. The umpire reverses his call, the runner is safe and then Wagner steps into the box and blasts a homerun. Wagner's hands were so large that when he gathered in a ground ball and fired it towards first a spray of gravel followed the ball.
The three Hall of Famers are best known for turning the double play. These three were the leaders of Chicago's greatest baseball team. Tinker-Evers to Chance will historically be known as the first great double play combo.
Frank Chance – Player manager was the first baseman anchoring the Cubs on their run. Chance was so revered in Chicago that he was known as the Peerless Leader (PL). Was a converted catcher, a career .296 hitter that stole 401 bases in his career. Chance had a managing record of .593 with 946 wins and 4 World Series appearances.
Joe Tinker – Shortstop Tinker was a power hitter that had the ability to smoke Giants ace Christy Mathewson batting over .400 against the great pitcher in 1908. Tinker was converted from 3B to shortstop.
Johnny Evers – 2B Evers was known as one of the smartest men on the field. He played in the Majors for 27 years! Evers wrote a baseball book in 1912 named Touching Second which the author recommends.
Mordecai "3 Finger" Brown – His hand mangled in a feed chopper, Brown threw the ball with electric movement. Ty Cobb claimed Brown's curve was the most devastating pitch he ever faced. The Chicago ace threw 55 shutouts in his career, 49 saves and a career 2.06 ERA. Christy Mathewson called Brown the most complete pitcher in the game.
Christy Mathewson – Another of the original Hall of Fame inductees, perhaps the greatest pitcher of all-time. Mathewson holds the record for most wins in the NL with 373. One of the best moments recorded in the book occurs in an early game between the Giants and Cubs. The Giants are leading 4-1 when Mathewson decides the game is in hand and hits the showers, it's his off day and there are only 2 showers in the clubhouse so he beats the rush. The Cubs end up loading the bases and McGraw pulls the rookie starter and calls for Christy. There is a mad rush to find the pitcher and until he is finally dragged out of the showers, sopping wet without his cleats to record the save.
Cy Young
The all-time leader in wins and losses was on the down side of his career in 1908. During the season the AL honored Young with a $6,000 bonus and an ungodly trophy. Pitching for Boston in 08 the Red Sox finished in 5th place.
Nap Lajoie
Possibly the greatest hitter of all time. Nap was traded to Cleveland in 1902 the year after he hits .426. A career .338 hitter, Nap is so popular in Cleveland they name the team after him and ask him to manage the team as a player. 1908 is a tough year for Nap, he is spiked early in the season so horribly that his leg is nearly amputated. Early baseball players had to suffer through the risk of infection at a time before antibiotics were available.
This picture demonstrates how close to the action the fans could get in an early 1900's game. This is Hilltop Park, home of the New York Yankees, they finished in last place in 1908.

Ty Cobb
.324 Avg, 36 2B, 24 3B+HR, 108 RBI
Along with Barry Bonds the two are considered the most hated players in baseball history. Cobb's racist attacks were legendary ; once kicking a black groundskeeper in the head for touching his glove, "then choked the man's wife until catcher Charlie Schmidt- a former prize fighter who could bend steel rods- tore him off." According to the book he also, "kicks a black chambermaid in the stomach for bristling at an insult."

CFB Compu-Picks Ratings, End of Regular Season
... 2) Speaking of schedule strength, it's worth asking whether it really makes sense to adjust for home-field advantage. Does it really make a difference? The answer is yes, as shown in the table below. With only a 53% winning percentage overall, it's pretty clear that home-field isn't much of a predictor in aggregate; however, when you throw out the mismatches (loosely defined here as games where one team ended up with 2 or more league wins than the other), the story is much different. When the teams ended up with the same number of league wins, the home team won slightly more than two-thirds of the time (it's a small sample size, of course, but it's still a very compelling number). When you expand the list to minor mismatches (teams ending up within one win of each other), the win rate drops, but is still close to 60%. So in answer to the question, yes I do think that it's a relevant factor that makes a lot of sense to include in this rating system. In fact, I would go so far as to say that any system which fails to account for this is flawed; certainly that includes the NCAA's ridiculous schedule numbers, but it also includes most or all of the BCS computers as well. ... I've also gotten some comments from Big Ten people who believe the model has them too low. I don't buy it. Multiple MAC losses, few quality wins (the best ones were against Miami, ASU and Notre Dame [twice] ), a gimmick schedule with half of the OOC games against bottom 40 teams and over 2/3 of the games at home, only a 7-5 record vs AQ's... it just wasn't a good year for the league. It's reasonable to argue them over the ACC (again, it's possible that the system is over-penalizing for the cupcake games), but that's it. They were a clear few steps below the top three leagues (Pac-10, SEC, Big 12) in 2010. It's certainly possible that they have a good bowl run, which would change the numbers, but for now, the resume just isn't there. ... 7) The following teams are ranked materially lower than the model than the BCS: Auburn, Wisconsin, LSU, Michigan St, Mississippi St, Hawaii, UCF. ... Wisconsin is playing very well right now, but, even more than Auburn, had a number of early struggles (the 1-pt ASU win, the 13-pt SJ St win, and worst of all, the 10-point loss to a pretty mediocre Michigan St team). I would say that compu-picks probably underrates them a bit... but unless you choose to totally ignore their early-season issues, the BCS is overrating them. ... In the BCS, Michigan St recently rose two points after barely beating a mediocre Penn St team, one week after they rose two spots after barely beating a bad Purdue team at home. Once again, the BCS punishes tough schedules and rewards easy ones. Moreover, in terms of season-long resumes, Michigan St has not been especially dominant (especially after they got waxed at Iowa), and has not had much of a schedule to date (Notre Dame was the only decent non-conference opponent, and they missed Ohio St, and they had a ridiculous eight home games [one was AA]). Even if you think compu-picks is too low on them, putting them into the top 10 is flat-out ridiculous. They're basically a homeless man's LSU, with the same tendency towards way too close wins, a lack of good performances against teams not named Wisconsin, a crummy schedule, and the massive beating Iowa laid on them.

Pours with a sticky off white head that finally settles over deep red clear liquid. Nose has a depth of Belgian character to it: sweet candi sugar, strong maltiness, yeast esters. Taste is heavy, sweet at first, and quite alcoholic. Maltiness gives way to some dark fruitiness, rum & brown sugar. A taste of a winey note pops up near the end. Finishes long and heady, drying slightly after swallowing. A good interpretation of a Belgian Quadruple.
A big "Thank You" to rotsaruch for the bottle!

Corked and caged old fashioned brown bottle.
Very dark clear body almost completely opaque at the center. Deep ruby/brown toward the edges and red/copper at the edge.
Lace, head and carbonation are next to non-existant.
Plum, raisen, brown sugar and concentrated molasses make up first impression of the nose. Quite a rush altually and the alcohol detectable in the smell if looked for.
Taste is a dried fruit medley, raisen, plum and a hint of pear and nuts drizzled with brown sugar. A very strong presence to be sure.
Even the aftertaste is malt dominated and fairly short finishing in a nutty and semi-dry sensation. into the mouthfeel which is solid, full and chewable.
Good Drinkability but be mindfull of the ABV.
Thanks to Weeare138 for the bottle.

Pours very dark brown with muddy bubbly head and plentiful lacing.
Lots of clove in the nose. Mild spiciness with coriander and some pepper. Creamy banana ice cream and some malty sweetness.
Taste follows spice trail but with more booze. Alcohol is assertive with flavors following and preceding. Some nanners and spice, burnt sugar is nice, then warming booze, then warm bread with musty herb.
Mouthfeel is full bodied and warming.
I don't associate Slyfox with Belgian styles....but this was good!

Huge thanks to DarkerTheBetter for this one...
Dark brown in color...mahogany highlights with some natural light.
Less than a half a finger of light tan head...thin lacing forms as it quickly disappears.
Nice aroma...figs and cherries in the aroma with no alcohol detected.
The taste is fantastic...quite sweet with a huge grape/fig flavor. The alcohol is very well masked and finishes sweet, yet also dry...not overly bitter.
Mouthfeel is maybe thin for the style, and the carbonation is low...goes down too easy, but you know to take your time with this one after you start to warm up.
Very impressed with this bottle conditioned beauty from the folks at Sly Fox.

Poured into a chalice.
Pours a dark brown with some ruby shining through. Has a carbonated lace head that settles to a lace wisp head. Good looking brew.
Brew smells yeasty; dark fruits, peppery and spiced. Good smell.
Brew is creamy and smooth, spiced, yeasty. Some dark sweet fruits. Sweet flavored and warming effects for sure. Finishes dry, the brew goes down very easy. Decent carbonation, very balanced. Very approachable, easy drinking quadrupel.
This is a very enjoyable brew. It is different in the flavor department then most of the other quad's I have had. Very sweet and smooth. Very good but not as big and well flavored as I would want, could be too sweet for some. But you could session this brew, which says alot for a quad. Very good stuff.

3.63/5 rDev -5.7%
Poured from 750 mL bottle into snifter.
A: Pours a very dark caramel with hint of backlighting coming through at the edges. 1-2 inch light tan bubbly head. Good retention.
S: Wonderfully fresh aroma of Belgian yeast and spice, German pils, and candi sugar. Very nice and very interesting...the German pils is a nice twist. Dark dried fruit and citrus (esp orange) comes through with warming.
T: A bit muddled...in turns butterscotch, candi sugar, German pils, Belgian spice, and dark dried fruit. Doesn't mesh very well. I'm less a fan of the German pils now.
M: Medium body (lighter than the ABV would suggest). Sweet and smooth. Hint of spice. Not as deep or complex as would be expected for style.
D: OK drinkability. An interesting take on a quad, but the result is not stellar.

A: a medium brown with a hint of red, having excellent clarity an number of fine floaters. The head is a long lasting thin cap, off-white leave some light lacing on the glass.
S: Dark cherries and dried fruit dominate with a light touch of chocolate and malt sweetness. There is a Christmas like spice aroma going that's mostly clove and ginger. A soft perfumey alcohol note.
T: A rich, sweet malty beer with moderate fruit flavors of dark cherries and some dried fruit. There is a moderately-low bitterness and a very light spicy hop flavor. The balance is moderately sweet with alcohol. The finish is sweet with an aftertaste of malty sweetness and cherries.
M: Medium-full bodied with a moderately-high level of carbonation. There is a good amount of warmth and moderately-high creaminess.
O: A good after dinner beer that is like sugar glazed cherries, prunes and raisins. It borders on being cloying, which I not my favorite but it's a solid beer with nice belgian character.

3.73/5 rDev -3.1%
From tasting notes... Poured 750 ml bottle into CBS snifter. Served at recommended temperature.
A) This is a dark brown, nearly black. I poured a bit aggressively, which led to a little over 2 fingers of off white head. The head dissipated quickly. Not much lacing.
S) Roasted malt and yeast. Dark fruits, kind of like burnt raisin. There's some spice in there too. A touch of chocolate. Alcohol is also detected.
T) Fairly close to the nose, but I just enjoyed the aroma a bit more than the flavor. This isn't just all sweetness, as far as flavor. There was a little hop bitterness on the backend. I found it quite earthy/woody. Some alcohol warmth as well.
M) The body seemed medium to me, with carbonation that seemed comparable to other quads I've had. I'd say it's pretty smooth and slightly coating.
O) I don't work quads into my beer rotation nearly as frequently as several other styles, but I do know which quads I've enjoyed immensely. This does not fall into that category. That said, it is pretty good, and is worth a try.

Poured from a 750 into a goblet. About a year's age on this bottle. This one pours a deep brown color, with a nice dense tan head. Free of any floaties which is always a plus.
Aroma is thick and bready, full of dark fruity wonders and spicy pleasure. Prunes, and even licorice come to mind. Lovely. The taste follows along nicely, with mysterious dark fruits, almost a fruitcake thick bready spiciness. It all entwines around the alcohol warmth nicely. This is a great beer.
Big bodied, yet smooth and definitely easy to sip on. No doubt that it is a big beer but the alcohol is subdued in its presence. A great sipper on a cold Sunday afternoon.

I reviewed a bottle of this earlier and was quite disappointed, but after enjoying a hand-pulled pint of this at Zeno's in State College, PA, I'm thinking I got a mishandled bottle. This beer has all the characteristics I listed before for the nose, but appearance, taste, mouthfeel and just the overall drinking experience were far superior to my last encounter. I love the rich complexity. The high alcohol is well hidden by its fruity and malty sweetness, and as big as this beer is it is surprisingly easy-drinking. If I hadn't known better I'd have had a couple of these and not been able to drive home safely. A wonderful beer and I really enjoyed.

DATE REVIEWED: June 17, 2014... GLASSWARE: Duvel snifter... OCCASION: year in public education #15--done!...APPEARANCE: intimidating dark black body that sports a thin white head that settles quickly--a white on black spectacle... AROMA: toffee and peat malt dominate the nostrils; fruity yeasts--peach, pear, apple--provide a floral balance... PALATE: active, warm, full-bodied--worth sipping of 10% ABV; like a strong ale in texture, but a bit buttery too... TASTE: complex fruit--plum, black currants, and banana--with clove cigarettes and milk stout properties--a demanding,, playful experience... OVERALLL: the kitchen sink seems thrown in here, with a serious backbone that rewards the drinker with hear and flavor--a big beer that could be brought out for big occasions....

Brought back from PA by expatsteve. Thanks for the opportunity.
Pour: deep, dark garnet/mahogany, mostly clear, no real head to speak of...alcohol?
Nose: vinuous blast of fermented grapes, raisins, molasses, cherries, light yeast
Taste: molasses and caramel sweetness, musty yeast, dark fruits, grape juice, dry, clean booze in the finish.
Feel: where this one falls short, a little thin, a little flat. I like a little more crispness in a Belgian like this.
Drinkability/Overall: Another completely solid beer from Sly Fox. Ridiculously drinkable for a quad of 10%. Not a mind-blower, but well-made on most fronts and hart to fault in too many places.

Thanks to nittanybeerfan for popping this one tonight. Thus far I have not had anything from Sly Fox that I enjoyed, but this changed my mind!
A: Pours a dark, rusty copper brown with a solid one finger head, but that does not last for more than 30 seconds. This is opaque, but only because it is dark, as it is pretty clear, not hazy.
S: Smell is very sweet and complex with tons of dark candi sugar. The yeast spice makes its presence shown as well, accompanied by incredibly sweet, bananas...like the kind that have been sitting on the counter for a week.
T: So incredibly sweet like a bag of sugar. Dark fruits such as raisins, figs, prunes and red grapes really make their showing here. The candi sugar sweetness comes in as well as the spiciness.
Overall, this was a solid Quad. I prefer my quads to be more on the dry side, and this was way beyond sweet. But good nonetheless.

Poured from a 750 mL bottle into my Rochefort chalice. Drink by date of 2/14/2012.
A- Pours a dark burgundy. When held into light, shows great clarity and amber hues. Produced a thin layer of white. Reduced to a ring upon consumption. Slight lacing.
S- Potent nose. Lots of ripe figs and raisins along with sweet candied malts. The aroma is there, just lacking a bit in complexity.
T- Honestly, this almost is like drinking fig juice (or at least how I imagine it would taste). Upfront the taste packs a huge wallop of dark fruits. Caramel malts and fruit juices give off quite the sweet finish. Much like the aroma, almost spot on, just lacking some complexity.
M- It's unfortunate, but this part of the beer had a negative impact on the taste. Way too thin for a quad. Somewhat undercarbonated as well. To be successful this beer needs to be much more viscous.
D- Drinkability suffers from the thin, undercarbonated mouthfeel and the lack of complexity in the taste. The sweetness in the taste grows and over time becomes overplayed and tiresome. There needs to be more going on to cut it.
Overall, the common theme I noticed is that the basic flavors and aromas are there, but just not complex enough to put this beer on the next level. The sweetness in this beer is unchecked and too one dimensional...not too mention the ridiculously thin mouthfeel. With some changes this beer has potential.

8 oz pour at South Philly Tap Room.
The caveat with this richly complex brew is that the keg seems to have gone flat, so the beer might not show nearly as well as possible. I liked it enough that I will certainly give it another try if I come across it on tap or in the bottle, when I get the chance. The sample I had was delivered to me with no head at all. A very dark beer with maroon and purple highlights when held to the light. Good Belgian quad aromas of root beer, cola, cherries and spice waft from the glass. Carbonation not absent when drinking, but certainly subdued, and at least a bit more would have elevated what is a rich, heavy style. The bright spiciness and winey cherry fruit kept the beer surprisingly drinakble, however. A wonderfully complex interplay of rich flavors. I hope to try a better sample someday.

Saturday, 24 August Workday
Saturday, 4 August Workday
Hunting season is fast approaching. The weather has not been kind to us this year and we have some serious road damage that needs to be repaired or we'll have areas we won't be able to access.
The major road issue is on Coon Road down by Polly's pond. The road is currently washed out by two of the ponds and completely impassable. This needs to be our first project.
If you are available this Saturday, please meet at the parking area on Prairie Rd at 0700. If you have access to any heavy equipment, please bring that as well. In addition to the area around Polly's Pond, we have other road areas that need some attention as well as food plots that need prepping.
Equipment that would be nice to have: bulldozer, back hoe, tractors with disc's and bush hogs in addition to the normal hand tools.
Please give me a call and let me know if you have questions.
June 8 Club Work Day cancelled
Due to the projected rainfall amounts with the current tropical storm system moving through the area through Friday, we've decided to cancel the work day for this Saturday. There really is no need to do $1000 dollars of damage to our roads in order to only accomplish $50 worth of work.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Don't forget the meeting this month. All members are encouraged to attend.

Budget & Goals
Nature Center Overview
First train car filled with potash, early 1900's
The land known as Gunpowder Point on Chula Vista's Bayfront has
had a colorful history. At the beginning of World War I, the Hercules
Powder Company opened a factory to extract the chemicals acetone
and potash from kelp. They were used to make cordite, an explosive
used for fuses by the British. During that time, three kelp harvesters
worked almost continuously. Fifteen hundred people worked day and
night, taking a trolley line out to the factory from "Potash Junction"
at E Street.
The plant was in use for only four years. While the pay was good,
Chula Vistans wondered if the potash was worth it. Sea breezes carried
the heavy stench of rotting kelp daily. And every time a worker
came home from work, he had to take off all his clothes, take a
shower, and change into fresh clothes before entering the house!
After WWI, the San Diego Oil Products Corporation took over the
abandoned buildings. It was the largest cottonseed warehouse in
the United States and produced cottonseed meal and cottonseed oil;
the oily hulls were used for cattle food. Unfortunately, the plant
caught fire in 1929. Firemen unsuccessfully fought the blaze for
11 hours, but the fire kept burning for days. The loss was estimated
at $330,000.
From 1930 until the mid-70's, farming took over and four farmhouses,
a bunkhouse, and even a cafeteria with a tortilla-making machine
were constructed on what had then become known as Gunpowder Point.
Tomatoes, strawberries, celery, lettuce and the first shrink-wrapped
cucumbers were grown. The classic "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
was also filmed here by Steve Peace.
When farming ended, the area became a site for illegal dumping,
resulting in the degradation of the natural plant and animal communities.
Hundreds of tons of trash have been removed since 1986.
In the early 80's, the City of Chula Vista had the foresight to
create the Nature Center which, since its opening July 4, 1987,
has become a recognized international leader in wetland-related
programs and exhibits. In 1989, the Sweetwater Marsh and a portion
of its uplands became the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
The Chula Vista Nature Center won an Orchid Award for building
design in 1988 and was accredited by the American Association of
Museums in 1992. The Gunpowder Point Interpretive Trails opened
on July 4, 1994, on the old farm roads.

During Jimmie Johnson's most dominant years in NASCAR, he had no rivals. Sure, Denny Hamlin and his team tried to put the pressure on during the 2010 Chase – but Johnson and Chad Knaus flicked them away like a speck of dust.
Two years later, Brad Keselowski is setting himself up to be the latest threat to Johnson's run. And armed with an honest streak and a won't-back-down attitude, Keselowski just might be able to back up his talk.
"The 48 has the most speed and the best history as far as the Chase is concerned, but it's my job to not roll over and give it to them," Keselowski said. "... Although they might have the most speed, we're not giving up. We're going to keep 'em honest through this Chase. That's our goal."
During the final green-flag pit stop sequence of Sunday's NASCAR race at Michigan, Keselowski and his team thwarted the No. 48's strategy by emerging with the lead – which left Johnson and Knaus asking each other how it could have happened. Keselowski seemed to delight in befuddling the five-time champions and said afterward it was "good to know that they're frustrated, 'cause they should be. We nailed it."
Though he was later passed by Johnson – before Johnson's engine blew up in the final laps – Keselowski launched several verbal missiles toward the Hendrick Motorsports camp. The budding rivalry has a chance to develop further in the Chase, and it may just be getting started.
Keselowski's comments focused around the mechanical advantage which the Hendrick cars seem to have discovered. Since June, competitors have been talking about the rear ends of cars like Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., which seem to be moving around.
NASCAR put one rule in place to address the issue, but drivers said at Indianapolis it did nothing to weaken the Hendrick cars' performance. On Sunday, Keselowski shed more light on the situation.
"There's parts and pieces on the car that are moving after inspection that make the car more competitive," he said. "Some guys have it, some don't. There's a question to the interpretation of the rule. Penske Racing errs on the safe side because we don't want to be the guys that get the big penalty."
Keselowski said his team has not felt comfortable enough to risk its good name and reputation over working in that area of the car. And while it's not illegal, he said, it's "living in a gray area."
"Roger (Penske) doesn't do that," he said. "There's certainly some performance there that we...haven't gained, because we choose not to do that. That's something that we have to continue to evaluate every week that goes by, that those components are permitted to be run. We have to make a reevaluation of that internally to decide if that's the right way to go."
The "tricks," as he referred to the setups during his stint as ESPN's In-Race Reporter on Sunday, are being used by six-to-12 cars and have separated the field more than in recent years, he said. The driver added it's had the effect of disrupting NASCAR's parity.
"You've seen qualifying, the pace difference between 20th and pole was over a second," he said. "We haven't seen that in over 10 years in this sport."
Despite not using the tricks for his own team, Keselowski said he feels primed to challenge Johnson for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title. And the way he's been running lately – Keselowski has scored more points than any driver in the last seven races – it's starting to seem like a realistic possibility.
And he wants Johnson to know the No. 2 team is coming.
"I can taste the legitimacy of being a championship contender," he said.

Planners are paying a lot of attention to side-street Nebraska Avenue in updated plans to regulate future development in the industrial Bergamot Area.
Along with busier Olympic Boulevard, Nebraska would be transformed into one of the area's two corridors, possibly boasting wider sidewalks, shared bike lanes, shops and small parks between Centinela Avenue and 26th Street.
"We're creating a unifying corridor, a pedestrian-oriented spine," city consultant Woodie Tescher told the Planning Commission last week, "a place where people walk and gather."
In an updated version of the Bergamot Area Plan, it's called the "Nebraska Spine."
In the "mixed-use creative district," retail would be encouraged along Nebraska Avenue, particularly in the heart of district at Berkeley Avenue, and within the mixed-use projects planned on Colorado Avenue.
The street would be extended from its current terminus at Stewart Street to connect a "transit village" across from a Metro station at Olympic and 26th at the Bergamot area's western boundary to residential and commercial development planned to the east.
Planners said to ensure the shops serve residents and don't become a regional draw, concentrated retail hubs should crop up in a few select areas along Nebraska, instead of running the entire stretch. It's proposed they'll be kept under 2,000 linear feet, the size of the Third Street Promenade.
The 140-acre Bergamot area will undergo major changes with the arrival of the Expo light rail in 2016.
In as soon as five years, the future Bergamot area could include a made-over Bergamot Arts Station. There's also a proposal for a 766,094-square-foot "transit village" of residences, office space, shops and restaurants at the former PaperMate site directly across from the station (those plans, however, are reportedly being held up by about six months). Just east of the "village," an even bigger project is planned consisting of more homes and spaces for creative offices and cultural art outlets.
The Bergamot Area Plan calls for retail in the transit village to be at the Expo station, on a new street through the former Papermate site, and possibly at the intersection of Olympic and Stewart, where several hundred residential units are proposed.
Olympic would be transformed into a landscaped "greenway" with lots of greenery, parks and sidewalks, and new signalized crosswalks east of Stewart. It would "take on a more urban form as it continues west with on-street parking, two new signalized crossings and more activity near the Expo station," according to the city planners and consultants.
Areawide, the proposed street network is projected to create 8.5-10 miles of new sidewalks, 2.2 miles of new dedicated or "sharrow" bike lanes, 1.8-3.6 miles of new multi-use paths, and 1.5-3 miles of new shared bike space.
Other proposed improvements include converting Pennsylvania Avenue between Stewart and 26th from a one-way street to a two-way street.

Mumia Abu-Jamal Faces US Supreme Court
Hans Bennett | 4/12/2011, 4:35 p.m.
Braulio Alvarez, a member of the Venezuelan parliament and leader of the farmers struggle in Venezuela said in his message written for the week, that Venezuelan supporters had decided "to go the American embassy in Caracas to hand to the ambassador a letter to the governor of Pennsylvania, demanding that he immediately liberate Mumia Abu-Jamal."
Berlin, Germany's, week of solidarity culminated in a demonstration where hundreds marched to the US Embassy with slogans like "Freiheit fur Mumia Abu-Jamal - Weg mit der Todesstrafe uberall" ("Freedom for Mumia Abu-Jamal - Abolish the death penalty everywhere").
Also demonstrating the international interest in this case, the new British documentary film about Abu-Jamal, titled In Prison My Whole Life, premiered December 8 on the Sundance Channel. Previous interviews with William Francome, and Livia Giuggioli Firth, revealed that In Prison features an interview with Abu-Jamal's brother Billy Cook, and the newly discovered crime scene photos. Officially endorsed by Amnesty International, Amnesty UK Director Kate Allen said: "We hope that the film's viewers will back our call for a fair retrial for Mumia Abu-Jamal-and also support our work opposing the death penalty in the US and around the world."
Appealing to the US Supreme Court
[ go to original for Illustration / (Illustration by Rainer Hachfeld, Neues Deutschland, Germany) ]
Both the DA and Abu-Jamal are asking the US Supreme Court to consider their appeals of the March 27, 2008 rulings by the US Third Circuit Court, when the court denied Abu-Jamal a new guilt-phase trial but ruled that there must be a new sentencing- phase trial if the DA still wants the death penalty. Therefore, Abu-Jamal is appealing for a new guilt-phase trial, while the DA is appealing to execute him without a new sentencing-phase trial. On October 6, 2008, the US Supreme Court rejected an unrelated appeal from Abu-Jamal.
On March 27, 2008 the US Third Circuit Court's three-judge panel of Thomas Ambro, Anthony Scirica, and Robert Cowen ruled against three different appeal issues, refusing to grant either a new guilt-phase trial or a preliminary hearing that could have led to a new guilt-phase trial for Abu-Jamal. However, on the issue of racist jury selection, also known as the Batson claim, the three judge panel of split 2-1, with Ambro dissenting.
Abu-Jamal filed his appeal of this ruling with the US Supreme Court today, Dec. 19. Arguably the key issue will be the 1986 Batson v. Kentucky ruling established the right to a new trial if jurors were excluded on the basis of race. At the 1982 trial Prosecutor McGill used 10-11 of his 15 peremptory strikes to remove otherwise acceptable black jurors, yet the court ruled that there was not even the appearance of discrimination. In his dissenting opinion, Judge Ambro wrote that the denial of a preliminary Batson hearing "goes against the grain of our prior actions...I see no reason why we should not afford Abu-Jamal the courtesy of our precedents."
Separately, the DA is appealing to execute without a new sentencing-phase trial, having filed their brief on November 14, 2008. Abu-Jamal's deadline to respond to this is January 21, 2009.

What do Shawna Forde, J.T. Ready and Chris Simcox have in common? The answer to the riddle is that they're all anti-immigration activists and they're all in trouble with the law. Simcox, 52, is the co-founder of the Minutemen civilian border patrol group. He's been arrested and booked into a Maricopa County jail in connection with the molestation of three girls under the age of 10, said Sergeant Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix police spokesman.
Simcox has denied the allegations to police. It was not known if he had an attorney.
He faces two counts each of child molestation and sexual conduct with a minor, and one count of attempted child molestation.
A former kindergarten teacher from California, Simcox co-founded the civilian border patrol outfit to highlight what he said was the government's failure to "secure" the massive southwest border with Mexico.
After infighting and criminal allegations the Minutemen disbanded in 2010.
Shawna Forde is doing time for murder after authorities determined that she was robbing drug dealers to fund her operations. In one of those robberies a young girl and her mother were murdered.
J.T. Ready was a popular figure in anti-immigration politics until he shot and killed his girlfriend, her daughter and granddaughter, the daughter's fiancée and himself.
