Fringe Day 8: On the home stretch
Grant Henderson and Katherine Kupiecki in The Final Act.

I took in Minnesota Fringe Festival shows numbers 18 and 19 Thursday evening. While that's certainly a lot from my perspective (I feel like I've spent my entire life either in line or in dark theaters at this point), I know there are folks out there who have been to shows in every slot so far at the festival. That means they still have 18 shows to go. Best of luck to all of you.
In brief, the two performers, who are doing double duty as they are also in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, take suggestions from the audience to build fairytale and other fantasy-like scenes. Their distinct twist is to have audience members also draw their props and scenery. Need a magic sword? One can be created in an instant.

James Delingpole [1]
James Delingpole
- Degree in English Literature. [1]
James Delingpole is an English columnist and anti-windfarm activist who formerly [2] blogged for The Daily Telegraph [3], and occasionally writes for The Spectator [4]. Delingpole describes himself as a "libertarian conservative" and climate change skeptic.
Delingpole has written several books including Watermelons: How the Environmentalists are Killing the Planet, Destroying the Economy and Stealing Your Children's Future [5]. He has his own website at www.jamesdelingpole.com [6].
He was awarded the 2010 Bastiat Prize for online journalism [7] by the free-market International Policy Network [8].
Stance on Climate Change
"There has been no global warming since 1998." [2]
Key Quotes
"The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (aka CRU) and released 61 megabytes of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)" [3]
"It is not my job to sit down and read peer-reviewed papers because I simply haven't got the time … I am an interpreter of interpretations." [4]
"I feel a bit of an imposter talking about the science. I'm not a scientist, you may be aware. I read English Literature." [5]
"The last thing I would want is for Monbiot, Mann, Flannery, Jones, Hansen and the rest of the Climate rogues' gallery to be granted the mercy of quick release. Publicly humiliated? Yes please. Having all their crappy books remaindered? Definitely. Dragged away from their taxpayer funded troughs and their cushy sinecures, to be replaced by people who actually know what they're talking about? For sure. But hanging? Hell no. Hanging is far too good for such ineffable toerags." [11]
"I note that warmists are often banging on about the fact that sceptics like Christopher Booker and myself 'only' have arts degrees. But actually that's our strength, not our weakness. Our intellectual training qualifies us better than any scientist – social or natural sciences – for us to understand that this is, au fond, not a scientific debate but a cultural and rhetorical one." [11]
"If he [the pope] really cares about the poor, the last thing he should be doing is endorsing this nonsense [encyclical on the environment]." [18]
Key Deeds
December 1, 2015
James Delingpole wrote a blog on Breitbart.com celebrating the death of Maurice Strong, a respected Canadian businessman, diplomat and high-ranking United Nations official. Delingpole's piece, titled "Ding Dong - The Godfather of Global Warming is Dead! [9]", described Maurice Strong: "he probably did more to make your world a more expensive, inconvenient, overregulated, hectored, bullied, lied-to, sclerotic, undemocratic place than anyone post Hitler, Stalin and (his personal friend) Mao."
(In sharp contrast, The New York Times obituary for Maurice Strong [10] quoted UNEP executive director Achim Steiner crediting Strong with "making "history by launching a new era of international environmental diplomacy.")
June, 2015
James Delingpole went on the British news show Daily Politics [11] to criticize Pope Francis's Encyclical on the Environment. Video below: [18]
March, 2015
James Delingpole is one of several climate change skeptics cc'd on an email from S. Fred Singer [12] in hopes of countering the documentary film "Merchants of Doubt," which exposes the network of climate change skeptics and deniers trying to delay legislative action on climate change.
The October, 2014 email was leaked to journalists before the documentary was released. "Can I sue for damages?" Singer asked in the email. "Can we get an injunction against the documentary?"
InsideClimate News reports in their article "Leaked Email Reveals Who's Who List of Climate Denialists [13]," how "Many of those copied on the email thread, such as Singer and communications specialist Steven Milloy, have financial ties to the tobacco, chemical, and oil and gas industries and have worked to defend them since the 1990s." [17]
InsideClimate News also documented all those who were cc'd on the email, including the following skeptics and groups:
- Ron Arnold [14]
- Timothy Ball [15]
- Joseph "Joe" Bast [16]
- Joe Bastardi [17]
- Michael Bastasch
- William Briggs [18]
- Russell Cook [19]
- Judith Curry [20]
- Joe D'Aleo [21]
- James Delingpole [1]
- David Paul Driessen [22]
- James Enstrom [23]
- Steve Goddard [24]
- Pierre Gosselin
- Greenie Watch
- William Happer [25]
- Jim Lakely
- Patrick J. Michaels [26]
- Steven J. Milloy [27]
- Christopher Monckton [28]
- Marc Morano [29]
- Joanne Nova [30]
- Roger Pielke Sr. [31](Or Roger Pielke Jr. [32] - Unclear in Email)
- Thomas P. Sheahen
- S. Fred Singer [12]
- Wei-Hock (Willie) Soon [33]
- Roy Spencer [34]
- James Taylor [35]

DeSmogBlog covered the emails here: "Merchants of Doubt Film Debuts, Textbook Denial Attack Campaign Led By Fred Singer Ensues [37]" and DeSmogBlog also archived a full copy of the Singer email thread (PDF) [38].
December, 2014
James Delingpole is a contributor to the book Climate Change: The Facts [39]published by the Institute of Public Affairs [40] and featuring "22 essays on the science, politics and economics of the climate change debate." The Institute of Public Affairs, while not revealing most of its funders, is known to have received funding from mining magnate Gina Rinehart and at least one major tobacco company. [15]
The book includes essays and articles from a range of climate change skeptics, with contributors including the following:
- Alan Moran [41]
- Andrew Bolt [42]
- Anthony Watts [36]
- Bernard Lewin
- Christopher Essex [43]
- Donna Laframboise [44]
- Garth W. Paltridge
- Ian Plimer [45]
- J. Scott Armstrong [46]
- James Delingpole [1]
- Jennifer Marohasy
- Joanne Nova [30]
- John Abbot
- Kesten Green [47]
- Mark Steyn [48]
- Nigel Lawson [49]
- Patrick J. Michaels [26]
- Richard S. Lindzen [50]
- Robert M. Carter [51]
- Ross McKitrick [52]
- Rupert Darwall [53]
- Stewart Franks [54]
- Willie Soon [33]
According to Editor Alan Moran [41] in a post at Catallaxy Files blog on Climate Change: the facts 2014 [55], Ian Plimer, James Delingpole "notes how the climate believers so often accuse sceptics of lack of credentials" and "delves into the qualifications of the major promoters of the climate scare in the UK." [16]
February 12, 2014
James Delingpole announced the end of his days blogging for The Daily Telegraph. In his final post, Farewell, Knights of Delingpole — and thank you trolls [2], Delingpole thanks his readers "for your technical expertise and advice (it prevented anyone ever noticing that I'm an English graduate and know NOTHING about science apart from, maybe, how to grow copper sulphate crystals)."
April 7, 2013
James Delingpole published an article in The Telegraph titled "An English class for trolls, professional offence-takers and climate activists [56]." The article opens with a photo of one of the Nuremberg trials [57] with the caption "Not pictured: Monbiot, Flannery, Mann…" (as in George Monbiot, Tim Flannery, and Michael Mann) and a series of questions (emphasis added):
"Should Michael Mann be given the electric chair for having concocted arguably the most risibly inept, misleading, cherry-picking, worthless and mendacious graph – the Hockey Stick – in the history of junk science?
"Should George Monbiot be hanged by the neck for his decade or so's hysterical promulgation of the great climate change scam and other idiocies too numerous to mention?
"Should Tim Flannery be fed to the crocodiles for the role he has played in the fleecing of the Australian taxpayer and the diversion of scarce resources into pointless projects like all the eyewateringly expensive desalination plants built as a result of his doomy prognostications about water shortages caused by catastrophic anthropogenic global warming?"
While Delingpole writes that his answer to all of these questions is no, he also says that "Hanging is far too good for such ineffable toerags" and that "Indeed, it would be nice to think one day that there would be a Climate Nuremberg." He defends his statements by claiming that he is using the phrases "metaphorically." [11]
Joe Romm at Thinkprogress suggests [58]that the Telegraph should retract and apologize for Delingpole's article as it may violate the paper's own terms and conditions against "obscene, threatening, menacing, offensive, defamatory, [or] abusive" material. [12]
According to Romm,
"If Delingpole's piece doesn't count as 'threatening, menacing, offensive, defamatory, abusive' then it is quite safe to say that nothing does. It should be retracted, the Telegraph should issue an apology and then fire him."
March 8, 2013
James Delingpole published an article in the Daily Mail that describes the Met Office [59] as a "menace" and also claims that the office has "finally conceded what other scientists have known for ages: there is no evidence that 'global warming' is happening."
Delingpole quotes the Global Warming Policy Foundation's [60] "Academic Advisor," David Whitehouse [61], who claims that the Met Office is "panicking" because "All the predictions they've been making about man-made global warming these past 20 years have started to come crashing about their ears." [13]
The Met Office replied [62] to Delingpole, and attempted to correct "a series of factual inaccuracies about the Met Office and its science" that Delingpole's article had included. According to the Met office, these inaccuracies include: [14]
- Mr Delingpole then inaccurately states that the Met Office has conceded 'there is no evidence that 'global warming' is happening'. We have not said this at any point.
- He also states that the Met Office was trying to defend a narrative that the "the past ten years have been the 'wettest decade ever'". Again, this is not something the Met Office has ever said.
Also he quotes David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation saying that the Met Office 'thinks weather forecasting is beneath it' and that 'climate change… brings in more money'.
A cursory glance at our annual report and accounts (pdf) [63] would reveal weather forecasting represents the vast majority of the Met Office's contractual work on behalf of the public.
December, 2012
The Australian Press Council (APC) upheld a complaint on numerous grounds against The Australian newspaper [64], which had published an article by Delingpole about wind farms. In the article, Delingpole quoted an anonymous sheep farmer as saying that the wind farm industry was "bloody well near a pedophile ring. They're f . . king our families and knowingly doing so."
After the APC had published its findings, Delingpole wrote a response, also published in The Australian, where he said: "I stand by every word of the piece - especially the bit about pedophiles. I would concede that the analogy may be somewhat offensive to the pedophile community."
September, 2012
Delingpole issues a public appeal for people to donate money to the Institute of Public Affairs [65], an Australian right-wing free-market "think tank" which refuses to disclose its funders. The IPA has been at the forefront of pushing climate science misinformation in Australia since the late 1980s [66]. Delingpole wrote how the IPA had paid for him to travel to Australia to promote his book.
June, 2011
Delingpole was a speaker [67] at the Heartland Institute [68]'s Sixth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC6). [5]
January 25, 2011
Delingpole was one of the subjects of a BBC Two presentation titled "Science Under Attack [69]" where Nobel Prize winning Sir Paul Nurse examined why climate change and other scientific theories have had public trust eroded. [6]
He interviewed scientists and campaigners from both sides of the climate change debate. Delingpole complained about the editing of his interview with Nurse because it focused on parts of the interview where, according to the Guardian [70], "he looks like an idiot."
This includes Delingpole's explanation of why he never reads peer-reviewed scientific literature because "It's not my job." The program also focused on Delingpole's condemnation of the scientific consensus on global warming. [7]
May, 2010
Delingpole was a speaker at the Heartland Institute's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC4). His speech was titled "Climategate and the War against Man, Bear, Pig."
Video is available here [71]. The Heartland Institute also provides a transcript of his speech here [72]. [1]
June 22, 2010
Delingpole described an article on expert credibility in climate change [73], written by William R.L. Anderegg and others and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, as being "based on a petty, spiteful, Stasi-like blacklist produced by an obscure Canadian warmist – outrageously aggrandised by being published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
Delingpole's article on the paper was titled "'Climate change sceptics have smaller members, uglier wives, dumber kids' says new study made up by warmists [74]." [8]
November 20, 2009
James Delingpole has been credited with coining the term "Climategate" [75] to describe what climate skeptics have put forward as a scientific conspiracy where the alleged that climate scientists manipulated climate data to supress data. The event rose out of a series of hacked e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia. [9]
Climate scientists were since exonerated of any wrongdoing after a series of investigation into the subject, but climate change skeptics continue to describe the event as proof of a conspiracy. [10]
The Heartland Institute [68]— ICCC speaker [67].
Delingpole has published four political books, including: How to be Right: The Essential Guide to Making Lefty Liberals History, Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work, and 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy.
Delingpole is also the author of several novels including Fin and Thinly Disguised Autobiography.

For Wildlife Watchers: Great White Shark Great whites cruise at ten to fifteen miles per hour and can accelerate to thirty-five. September - October Coyote Science The scientific evidence that coyotes are affecting deer populations in South Carolina is solid, and limiting doe harvests may be the only viable strategy for keeping deer numbers stable. Odd Birds American woodcock and Wilson's snipe provide uniquely challenging targets for the offbeat wing shooters who faithfully pursue them. For Wildlife Watchers: Wood Stork Sometimes, survival hinges on being out of fashion. In the late 19th century, herons, egrets and many other shorebirds were slaughtered by the thousands for their plumes, which were treasured by the makers and wearers of ladies hats. But consider the wood stork, lacking in distinctive breeding plumage and therefore relatively safe. July - August Take the 365-day Deer Hunting Challenge Every once in awhile, bagging a big buck in October might be a matter of luck - right place, right time - but more likely, it's the result of hours of planning and work in the "off" season. Pintail Partners Cooperation, not competition, was the name of the game when the "Pintail Partners," a coalition made up of duck hunters, advocacy organizations and the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, worked together to provide a standout waterfowl hunt for youth hunters this past January. Stingray Dos and Don'ts Finding yourself on the receiving end of a stingray barb will probably necessitate a trip to the emergency room. But some easy first-aid tips can save you a lot of pain on the way. May - June A Lowcountry Birder's Bonanza Roxbury Park, one of the newest public spaces in the ACE Basin, provides visitors with easy access to a wide variety of wildlife species. Unwelcome Visitors "South Carolina Native" isn't just a bumper sticker slogan for folks intent on letting the drivers behind them know where they were born; for the members of the South Carolina Native Plant Society, it's a serious topic that involves fighting real threats to our indigenous flora. Quest For The Golden Cannas Bear Island WMA is known as a haven for waterfowl and other birds, but in this case, it's the search for an interesting piece of flora that prompts an early summer visit. Fish Like A Pro Professional bass fishing is growing by leaps and bounds, with all the money and attention that entails, but for these three pros with South Carolina roots, family, community and getting more young people into the sport is still the name of the game. For Wildlife Watchers: Red Paper Wasp Wasps of all kinds have earned the respect of humans (as well as some degree of fear), and our awe hasn't diminished. March - April Between A Rock and A Wet Place Rapids and rocky shoals, once impediments to river travel, were instrumental in the development of South Carolina's Fall Line cities. River Run The spring spawning run of striped bass up the Congaree River gets the hearts of dedicated river anglers pumping, and better fishing over the last few seasons, the result of stakeholder-initiated harvest restrictions, is generating new buzz about this unique fishery. Redefining "Run And Gun" It might not be as catchy, but for success in spring turkey hunting, you might be better served to "Walk and Listen." For Wildlife Watchers: Earthworm Earthworms are sold as fish bait and pet food, and for composting and gardening. January - February Clemson's Ecological Treasure Chest During the Great Depression, thousands of acres of Upstate farmland, worn out and eroded from years of cotton farming, were rescued by a "New Deal" program. Eight decades later, careful stewardship of this public resource by Clemson University and the DNR has yielded a scientific and recreational bonanza for Palmetto State citizens. Georgetown's Green Wall A seemingly minor incident involving the 24th president of the United States and a muddy duck hunt led to the long-term preservation of tens of thousands of acres of wild lands and waters along the South Carolina Coast. For Wildlife Watchers: American Robin The robin is among the most abundant bird species on the continent, with a population estimated at more than three hundred million. 2014 South Carolina Wildlife-Harry Hampton Wildlife Fund Photo Contest If it's January, it must be time to showcase the winners of the 2014 South Carolina Wildlife-Harry Hampton Wildlife Fund Photo Contest and Exhibition at the Palmetto Sportsmen's Classic. 2014 November - December Decking the Halls - Naturally Whether indoors or out, nature abides a welcome guest in every part of these homes during the holiday season. Outtakes "Imagine 2,000 evocative images, generated from numerous road trips along miles and miles of South Carolina highways and back roads. Remembering Havilah Babcock "Forever old and forever new, a sunrise is always and never the same." - Havilah Babcock For Wildlife Watchers: Big Brown Bat Sometimes bats catch insects in their mouths. More often, they catch them with their tail membranes, which act as a scoop or net. September - October Island of the Bobcats X marks the spot for bobcats on South Carolina's Kiawah Island. Splendid Isolation "...the tide is quite high and it brings with it a full moon, and a gentle south breeze coming in over the water renders the atmosphere altogether delightful." - John A.

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- The defense ministry said Thursday it has submitted a bill on land mines to allow civilians to remove explosives buried during the 1950-53 Korean War to facilitate ongoing removal efforts by the military.
Millions of land mines are believed to have been buried on the divided peninsula during the Korean War, particularly in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that bisects the peninsula.
Efforts to gradually clear land mines south of the DMZ and other civilian areas have been underway by the military since 2005. Although largely successful, evidence suggests that not all mines have been found.
"The bill is aimed at making legal grounds and a process to allow both the military and civilians to remove mines so as to protect lives and the property of people," the ministry said in a release.
Under the new bill, civilians who pass the state test and complete courses can apply for certification to remove mines near the border, which is under the strict control by the military.
The qualified mine removers will be required to subscribe to insurance to bear the responsibility of incidents taking place in the process.
Once the bill becomes law, the defense ministry will create certification tests and training courses, military officials said.

Man is arrested on eight complaints from three Oklahoma law agencies
Authorities arrested a man Tuesday on warrants from three law enforcement agencies in Oklahoma County.
Victor Andrew Ramsey Jr., 21, was arrested by the Oklahoma County sheriff's warrant team in the 2800 block of S Midwest Blvd., at a Midwest City restaurant where he was working as a delivery driver.
Ramsey was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on eight complaints, including assaulting a jailer, robbery with a firearm and concealing stolen property. His bail was set at $750,000.
He was wanted by the Oklahoma City police, Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department and Edmond police.
The Oklahoma County warrant sought Ramsey on a complaint of assault and battery upon corrections personnel. According to the probable cause affidavit, Ramsey was an inmate in the Oklahoma County jail Jan. 18 when he grabbed a jailer's uniform and tried to strike him with his knee and fist.
Oklahoma City police wanted Ramsey on complaints of robbery with a firearm, unlawful use of a computer network, unauthorized use of a vehicle, concealing stolen property and larceny from a house.
Ramsey is accused of robbing a man Nov. 19, 2010, after posting a "vehicle for sale" ad on Craigslist, according to a probable cause affidavit. When the victim met Ramsey to buy the vehicle, Ramsey pulled out a gun and took the man's money, the affidavit states.
In the Edmond case, Ramsey was arrested on complaints of impersonating another and making obscene, threatening or harassing telephone calls.
He is accused of harassing an ex-girlfriend through text messaging in September and of having her car towed away from her house, according to the probable cause affidavit.

THE LATER NINETEENTH and early twentieth centuries were regarded in many Western countries as a time of religious crisis. The crisis was generally believed to be most acute in the cities and especially among the working class. This book focuses on working-class religion in three of the world's greatest cities in this period of crisis.
My first objective is to get behind the generalizations and the rhetoric that prevail in most accounts in order to provide a more precise and nuanced description of the part played by religion and irreligion in the daily life of working-class people. I shall show how, for instance, belief and unbelief related to their experience of poverty and social exclusion, to the ways in which they celebrated or survived the turning points and crises of life, to the relationships between women and men, and to political organizations. By focusing on the part played by religion, and sometimes by secularism, in the everyday life of working-class communities, I hope to demonstrate the importance of a dimension that is far too often ignored, dismissed or mentioned only in passing. 1 The salience of sectarian differences in such major industrial regions as Lancashire and the Ruhrgebiet is so obvious that most historians are forced to take the issue seriously. 2 However, the task of defining the nature and meaning of working-class religion in more religiously homogeneous cities and regions has proved more difficult, and many historians have solved it by resorting to clichés, such as the concept of 'apathy', or by reducing working-class religiosity to the search for material assistance. 3 Historians of religion in Britain have for some years been keenly interested in the question of the relationship between the churches and the working class, though as yet no consensus has been reached. Because of the nature of the most widely used sources, these scholars have often been more successful at seeing the question through the eyes of the clergy than through those of working-class people. 4 In Germany, on the other hand, very little research has been done on working-class religion in regions other than the Ruhrgebiet. 5 In the United States the theme has been studied mainly in terms of immigration history. 6 This study will break new ground in two ways. First, by exploiting a wide range of hitherto underused sources, most notably various oral history surveys, it will attempt to go further than any previous history of urban working-class religion towards seeing the subject through the eyes of the people themselves. Second, it is the first study of working-class religion that has attempted to solve the problems of interpretation by using a comparative framework. I shall return later to discuss the rationale for this approach.
My second objective is to define the nature, extent and causes of the secularization of the working class during this period, and to explain why these varied so considerably as between different parts of Western Europe and North America. The question of the extent and causes of the secularization of Western societies has been hotly debated by sociologists, especially over the last thirty years; and

We are on the Riley Blake Fabrics Design Team, and love working with their beautiful fabric! I guest posted this tutorial on their blog a few weeks ago and I'm sharing with you today.
I'm going to share how to make a knit maxi skirt featuring the amazingly cute cotton jersey knits by Riley Blake Designs! I had a lot of fun making some darling maxi skirts for my young daughters. For this tutorial I made a skirt with a yoga-style waistband for ultimate comfort. 🙂
Supplies needed to make a knit maxi skirt:
- 1 yard jersey knit fabric–this is enough fabric to make one skirt for a young girl, I made this one to fit girls size 8-10 (and check out the fun patterns and colors–polka dots, chevron, stripes, oh my!)
- Sewing Machine
- Coordinating Thread (I used white)
- Scissors
- Cutting mat
- Rotary cutter
- Tape measure/ruler
- Pins (I used ball point pins specifically to use with knits)
- Ball point sewing machine needle–this is also specific for sewing with knits
Pre-wash fabric and tumble dry on low.
Set your sewing machine to either a stretch stitch setting or a narrow zigzag to allow for stretch. The tension is set at 4. You could also use a "walking foot" to help guide the knit through easier. For this project I used my regular foot.
These are the settings I used–narrow zig zag:
To determine size of skirt, take all your measurements beforehand.
- Waist
- Length from waist to floor (or however long you want the skirt to be)
Knit Maxi Skirt Instructions
You will need to cut 4 pieces of fabric–2 skirt, 2 waistband.
To cut out the angled skirt pieces both at the same time, fold fabric in fourths lengthwise. For the length I cut the fabric at 24 inches long.
For the top and bottom measurements, take the waist width and divide that number by 2 (since you'll have 2 pieces of fabric, front and back), then add 1 inch for seam allowance. For example, for a 27 inch waist, divide that by 2 to get 13.5 inches, then add 1 inch to make 14.5 inches.
( Waist) 27/2= 13.5 + 1 (seam allowance)= 14.5 inches
For the bottom, I wanted it to be more of an a-line than a straight skirt, so I made the bottom 4 inches wider on each side. So I added 8 inches total to the width of 14.5 (that we just figured out above) to make the bottom of the skirt 22.5 inches wide.
Now we're going to measure from the fold. Since the fabric is folded not in half but in fourths, we need to divide our measurements by 2 again. So for the top waist, I measured out 7.25 from center fold and pinned. (14.5 divided by 2 = 7.25 inches)
For the bottom width, I measured out 11.25 inches from center fold (22.5 divided by 2 = 11.25 inches). Pin fabric.
Place ruler at an angle, connecting the two pins from top to bottom of skirt.
I put some heavy "weights" on the ruler and fabric so the knit wouldn't slip while cutting. 🙂
Cut fabric at angle with rotary cutter. You will end up with two pieces of material for the skirt. (Photo shows skirt before I unfolded it.)
Place right sides of fabric together and pin the sides lengthwise.
Jersey knit will not unravel, so you do not need to do anything to finish the inside seams. Sew a 1/2 inch seam, being careful not to stretch the fabric. Just gently guide it through so it doesn't pucker up.
Once both sides are sewn together, make skirt right side out and press.
For a yoga-style waistband, measure and cut out two rectangular pieces. For the skirt I made, I took the waist measurement of 27 inches and divided by 2, then subtracted a few inches to make the waistband snug since knit is stretchy. Then I added a 1 inch seam allowance.
27 inches divided by 2 inches = 13.5 inches. Subtract 2 inches (so it's not too loose) = 11.5 inches + 1 inch seam allowance = 12.5 inches
In order to create a waistband that can be folded down, I decided I wanted the finished, folded band to be 4 inches tall. So I cut the length 9 inches (8 inches since you will be folding it in half + 1 inch seam allowance).
My pieces were cut 12.5 inches wide by 9 inches long.
Place fabric right sides together. Pin both sides and sew with 1/2 inch seam on each side.
Fold band in half with the right sides out, like this:
To attach waistband to skirt, slide the raw top edge of skirt through the waistband loop to match up with the waistband's raw edges. Line up the side seams and the raw edge of the skirt with the 2 raw edges of the waistband, and pin.
Stitch the waistband to the skirt, stretching the waistband to fit the skirt and create a natural gather. I pinned it in several places to help with this.
Here's what it looks like once the two pieces are sewn together, before folding the waistband up the right way.
Here is the finished skirt with the waistband straight:
And here is the waistband folded over:
Since knit doesn't fray or unravel, you don't have to hem the bottom. Try on the skirt and if it's too long, you can just cut off the excess fabric at the bottom.
But if you want a more finished look, just fold the fabric under and top stitch with a zig zag or stretch stitch. Just make sure to add an extra inch to your length when cutting the fabric at the beginning.
My girls LOVE their comfortable knit maxi skirts! Perfect for back to school!

Jess Says: December 9, 2014 at 9:17 am
Dawn, that's how I did it….fold in half, then half again. Works brilliantly. 🙂
Thanks for the super easy instructions on doing this for a little girl. Everytime I tried a tutorial for a woman's maxi skirt, there just wasn't a successful skirt to come out of it for my lean, string bean of a 9 year old.

I'm unsure how we're going to make it but we'll figure out a way. There's got to be a way.

I saw this coming. She works in the office of a manufacturing plant and they've just made the decision to go with one shift, work is that slow. I look for the place to be closed in a years time or less. Those people will join the 1,000's of local folks that have lost manufacturing jobs. It makes me want to scream. No kidding.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. is getting closer to its 2013 fundraising goal.
The Oklahoma City-based oil and natural gas producer announced Wednesday that it has agreed to sell acreage in Louisiana and south Texas to a subsidiary of EXCO Resources Inc. for about $1 billion.
Chesapeake will receive about 90 percent of the proceeds from the deal in cash at closing to help alleviate its cash crunch.
"Today's announcement brings our year-to-date asset sales signed or closed to approximately $3.6 billion, which, combined with forecasted net operating cash flow, enables Chesapeake to fully fund its 2013 capital expenditure budget," CEO Doug Lawler said. "Additional asset sales contemplated for later this year may reduce long-term debt and further enhance our financial liquidity."
Chesapeake has been selling assets for much of the past two years to pay off debt and fill a budget shortfall.
The company has said it hopes to bring in as much as $7 billion this year.
On Wednesday, Chesapeake said it has agreed to sell EXCO about 55,000 acres in the northern part of the oil-rich Eagle Ford play in south Texas and about 9,600 acres in Louisiana's Hayneville Shale. EXCO already operates 42 of the 53 units in the Louisiana acreage.
"These acquisitions are consistent with our strategy of targeting opportunities in both existing core areas and new plays," EXCO CEO Douglas H. Miller said. "The Eagle Ford acquisition establishes our position in the high value oil core area of the Eagle Ford shale, and delivers immediate production and reserve additions, significant resource potential, and solid economic returns. The Haynesville acquisition adds to our leading core position and provides an expanded platform to apply our technical expertise, best-in-class drilling and completion focus, and project execution skills."

May 31, 2016: The New York Times editorial board has called for passage of the fix to NY's gravity knife law which has resulted in the unjust arrest of thousands of people in New York City for carrying simple everyday pocket knives. Knife Rights has been working on this fix for 5 years and we agree 100% with the Times. The time has come to fix this law and prevent the ongoing arrest of thousands of citizens for simply possessing a common tool millions use every day.
Today's NY Times Editorial, "New York's Outdated Knife Law" concludes: "The state's Office of Court Administration has called for a change in the law, and a bill in Albany would exempt from the ban the sorts of knives that are widely available for sale and that the average person would need both hands to open. This would help to reduce the number of unwarranted arrests without endangering public safety. A similar bill passed the Assembly last year but failed in the Senate. There is no reason not to pass it this time."
If you live,

May 12, 2016: The Legal Aid Society, the oldest and largest private non-profit legal services agency in the nation and New York's primary public defender, yesterday filed an Amicus Curiae (Friend of the Court) Brief in support of Knife Rights' long-running Civil Rights Lawsuit against New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr.
Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter said, "The Legal Aid Society's well-reasoned and eloquently written brief compellingly tells the stories of individuals who have fallen victim to defendants' unconstitutional practices and ties directly into the key elements of the defendants' continued sordid prosecutions of innocent knife owners. The Society has succeeded in adding additional human faces to the injustice these prosecutions have visited on tens of thousands of law-abiding knife owners, highlighting the serious constitutional issues at stake here."
May 10, 2016: The Illinois House Judiciary - Criminal Committee passed the Knife Rights supported switchblade ban repeal bill, SB2294, out of the committee with a unanimous "Do Pass" recommendation. The bill has already been passed by the Senate.
Knife Rights is working closely with our friends on the ground in Springfield to keep the bill moving in the House. The City of Chicago is working to stop the bill from moving to the floor, to nobody's surprise.
In the coming days we may ask you to contact members of the Illinois House. Please pay attention to our alerts in case we need your help!
April 27, 2016: Knife Rights' Oklahoma Knife Law Reform bill, SB 1159, has been signed into law by Governor Mary Fallin. SB 1159 removes dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife and sword cane from the items prohibited from carry in Oklahoma, and finishes the job Knife Rights began last year with the repeal of the ban on carrying switchblade (automatic) knives and with the passage of Knife Law Preemption in Oklahoma.
Since Knife Law Preemption is already the law in Oklahoma, the revised law will be effective statewide when it takes effect on November 1, 2016.
This represents the culmination of three years of effort by Knife Rights in Oklahoma where there are no longer any restrictions on ownership and carry of knives.
Just more proof that we are the one getting it done for knife owners in America. Getting it done means having the perseverance to come back to a state's legislature as many times as necessary to finish the job. Expert lobbying on the ground in the legislature is what it takes and why we can now count 21 pro-knife bills passed in 15 states in six years. No other organization can make that claim.
March 6, 2016:
Governor Tomblin's veto of the Knife Rights supported West Virginia Permitless (Constitutional) Carry bill, HB 4145, that was vetoed by the governor was overridden by the legislature this past weekend. According to guidance provided by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the new law is effective May 24, 2016. The new law allows West Virginians 21 years old and older, who are not prohibited persons, to carry a concealed "deadly weapon," including knives, without a permit. That includes switchblades (automatics), balisongs and gravity knives.
However, knife carriers may still face local restrictions on their right to carry a knife. West Virginia's existing preemption law protects firearms owners only.
WARNING: Persons 18 years old but less than 21 years old may obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun BUT that license DOES NOT include concealed carry of a knife or any other "dangerous weapon." The penalties for anyone under 21 carrying a concealed knife illegally have been made far tougher. It is now a felony!
Anyone who is younger than 21 should be very careful to abide by West Virginia's 3.5-inch concealed carry limit and the total prohibition on concealed carry of switchblades (automatics), balisongs and gravity knives.
Knife Rights will be working in West Virginia next year to try and fix this absurd change in the law that adversely impacts those under age 21.
With all the oxygen sucked out of the state capitol by HB 4145, it will be a challenge to get Knife Rights' bipartisan West Virginia Knife Law Preemption bill, HB 4541, passed this year in the remaining days left in the session. HB 4541 would ensure that knife carriers don't face local restrictions on their right to carry a knife under HB 4145.
February 19, 2016: Georgia State Senator Bill Heath has introduced Knife Rights' Georgia Knife Law Reform bill, SB 405, that would increase the legal carry length of a knife blade in the state from 5.5 inches to 12 inches. Sen. Heath was the sponsor of Knife Rights' Georgia Knife Law Preemption bill that was enacted in 2012.
Efforts to completely eliminate the carry length limit have been stymied due to the manner in which a knife is defined in Georgia Law. Eliminating the length limit entirely requires significant changes to over 30 pages of laws on the books, which at this time would not be acceptable to the legislature. In the end, it was determined that the best practical alternative was to significantly increase the blade carry length to 12 inches. This will make life much better for knife owners in Georgia without hampering future efforts to completely eliminate the carry length limit at some future opportunity.
February 8, 2016: Knife Rights' Wisconsin Knife Law Reform Bill including Knife Law Preemption, AB 142, was signed on February 6th by Governor Scott Walker. Wisconsin is the eleventh state in which Knife Rights has repealed a switchblade ban and the ninth in which we have passed Knife Law Preemption. The new law was enacted when it was officially published on February 7, 2016.
The signing ceremony was held during the annual meeting of Wisconsin FORCE, the state NRA affiliate. Wisconsin FORCE and Executive Director Jeff Nass played a critical role in passage of the bill and Knife Rights is appreciative of their support for our efforts to forge a Sharper Future for all Americans.
At the signing, Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter presented Governor Walker with a Pro-Tech TR-4 automatic (switchblade) knife specially engraved with the state seal and his name and dedication during the signing ceremony (photo after the break).
ALL KNIVES MATTER! Dana Loesch talks about knives, Knife Rights and the Second Amendment with Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter at SHOT Show 2016.
January 24, 2016: Kentucky state Senator Robin Webb has introduced a Knife Law Preemption nd Knife Ban Repeal bill, S 112. This bill is the result of months of work by Knife Rights and Senator Webb and her staff. To accomplish Knife Law Preemption, the bill simply adds knives to the existing proven Kentucky firearms preemption statute.
The bill will also remove "any knife other than an ordinary pocket knife or hunting knife" from Kentucky's definition of a "Deadly Weapon" which limits concealed carry to CCW holders. That phrase, "ordinary pocket knife or hunting knife," has been, and could in the future be, subject to abuse from adverse interpretations by law enforcement, prosecutors and judges. In a 2003 appeals court decision (Stout v. Commonwealth), the judge held that a 5-inch "locked-blade" folding knife was NOT an "ordinary pocket knife," even though the vast majority of pocket knives sold then and now have locking blades and knives with blades 5-inches and longer are not unusual.
Sept. 22, 2015: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously ruled today that Knife Rights' Federal civil rights lawsuit against New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. will proceed, reversing a District Court's erroneous dismissal of the case on procedural "standing" grounds. You can review the Second Circuit's decision at: http://www.kniferights.org/KRvNYC_Second_Circuit_Opinion.pdf
The Second Circuit ruled that Knife Rights' plaintiffs John Copeland, Pedro Perez, and Native Leather have the right to pursue their claims to end the unconstitutional manner in which the City and the DA have enforced state gravity knife law against honest individuals and businesses with regard to common folding knives.
Knife Rights Foundation is pleased to announce its groundbreaking LegalBlade App - Knife Laws in America. LegalBlade is the world's first knife law app! LegalBlade provides guidance at your fingertips to the knife laws of all 50 states as well as over 40 cities and local jurisdictions in the United States.
Knife Rights Founder and Chairman Doug Ritter said, "While Knife Rights will continue to aggressively work to repeal bad knife laws, knowledge of the law is the first step in avoiding an unfortunate arrest, loss of your knife or other legal complications."

Knife Rights' Knife Owners' Protection Act, S. 1315 (KOPA), passed a critical hurdle yesterday when it was voted out of the the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Passage by the Commerce Committee sets the measure up for consideration by the full Senate. KOPA protects travelers from a patchwork of conflicting state knife laws.
The result of five years of effort, Knife Rights conceived, drafted and developed the Knife Owners' Protection Act as the first proactive pro-knife federal legislation introduced in the nation's history. The Senate version of the bill is sponsored by Senators Mike Enzi (R-UT) with co-sposnors Senators. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Mike Lee (R-UT), Joe Manchin (D-WV), John Thune (R-SD) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).
Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter noted, "This legislation will solve a real and growing problem that faces every knife owner traveling throughout America--the threat of arrest and prosecution under misguided local laws merely for possessing knives during lawful travel." KOPA will protect law-abiding knife owners traveling throughout the U.S. from a patchwork of restrictive state and local laws. As long as possession of the particular knife is legal where the journey starts and ends, and provided the knife is secured in accordance with KOPA, a knife owner would no longer be threatened with arrest simply for traveling from one place to another.
George M. Lee, a partner at the San Francisco law firm of Seiler Epstein Ziegler & Applegate, wrote the "friend of the court" brief in the criminal matter of State of California v. Emmanuel Castillolopez on behalf of the civil rights organizations Knife Rights Foundation and Second Amendment Foundation.
"For simply having a common, everyday Swiss Army multi-tool with the blade open in his pocket, Mr. Castillolopez was charged, prosecuted, and convicted of a very serious crime," explained Lee. "We strongly believe that the Court of Appeal correctly held that the State's arguments are wrong on the law and hope the Supreme Court similarly disposes of the matter in its forthcoming decision."

July 16, 2015: Senators Steve Daines (MT) and Lamar Alexander (TN) have introduced S. 1769, the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act of 2015. This is companion legislation to HR 697 in the House of Representatives. These bills would end the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's unilateral moratorium on the trade in lawfully owned ivory, including ivory handled knives. It also strengthens measures to stop elephant poaching in Africa and punishes countries that smuggle illicit ivory.
Please CALL or EMAIL your Representative and Senators and ask them to Co-Sponsor the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act of 2015 (H.R. 697 or S.1769, respectively) to protect both elephants and Americans. You can find your U.S. legislators and send them all an email here: www.democracy.io
This bill is carefully tailored to allow the Administration to combat African elephant poaching and criminal organizations that sell illicit ivory in China. The bill protects innocent Americans who have complied with existing import prohibitions on ivory and the large stocks of ivory that have been in the United States for over 25 years. It protects the owners of knives, firearms, musical instruments, canes and a multitude of other items that include this decades-old legal ivory.

December 16, 2014: Since its inception, Knife Rights has had as a foundational position that knives are arms protected by the Second Amendment. While generally used as tools daily by millions of Americans, knives are also occasionally used as an "arm" to defend a person's life. Our logo declares these are "Essential Rights." However, actual court rulings on this issue are always appreciated. Recently the Connecticut Supreme Court has affirmed that knives are arms protected by the Second Amendment in a case with potential wider implications.
In its decision overturning a prior conviction, the Court held that "the second amendment protects the defendants right to possess the dirk knife
in his home and, second, that the statutes complete ban on transporting those items between residences unduly burdens that right." The Court further said, "[t]hus, the safe transportation of weapons protected by the second amendment is an essential corollary of the right to possess them in the home for self-defense when such transportation is necessary to effectuate that right."
December 29, 2014: With 2014 fading away, we look forward to the new year with great anticipation. In the waning months of this year we've been working hard getting ready for the 2015 legislative session. The coming weeks and months will see a record number of Knife Rights bills filed, building on the momentum we have achieved in the past six years.
Knife Rights' unprecedented record of success--19 legislative victories in 15 states in 6 years--has been a team effort made possible only because of your generous support. Our passion is fueled by you; we are forging a Sharper Future together. Please enjoy this short Knife Wars 2014 video.
Oct. 8, 2014: New York City's The Village Voice newspaper has published a front-page article, "Blade Stunner," slamming the City's persecution of knife owners. Journalist Jon Campbell's in-depth research provides a historical perspective and personalizes the unfortunate and serious impact the City's irrational and unconstitutional enforcement has had on citizens arrested and prosecuted for simply carrying a common folding knife.
One of the most shocking revelations in this article confirms Knife Rights' longstanding position that tens of thousands of citizens have been victimized by the City's outrageous enforcement practices. In the first estimate by an independent organization it reports that, "Village Voice analysis of data from several sources suggests there have been as many as 60,000 gravity-knife prosecutions over the past decade, and that the rate has more than doubled in that time. If those estimates are correct, it's enough to place gravity-knife offenses among the top 10 most prosecuted crimes in New York City."

Residents of New York City and those traveling there should NOT take this as meaning that they can now carry any folding knife they want. (Click Read More >>>> below for details)
The first detailed scholarly analysis of knives and the Second Amendment has been published in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform (vol. 47, pages 167-215). Authored by noted Second Amendment scholars Dave Kopel, Clayton Cramer and Joe Olson, the paper makes the case for knives as "arms" protected by the Second Amendment, supporting one of Knife Rights' foundational tenets.
Knife Rights applauds these scholars for this long-overdue effort. This is a great start on the sort of scholarly work that needs to be done to assist in potential legal cases down the road. The arguments made and supported in this article will also support our legislative efforts to roll back knife bans and oppose proposed new restrictions on knives.

Knife Rights is spearheading a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit, originally filed in June 2011, against New York City and New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. over their wrongful harassment of knife owners, retailers and manufacturers. As
this lawsuit works its way forward, we will post newsworthy events and links to
articles, motions and other relevant information here (Click on "Read
More >>>>" below for links).
Lawsuit Summary: The lawsuit challenges New York
Citys and District Attorney Vances attempt to criminalize as contraband the
most widely-owned pocket knives in America -- one-hand opening and assisted
opening folding knives -- under state laws prohibiting switchblades and gravity
knives. The case seeks a judicial determination that the New York State laws regarding switchblades and gravity knives are unconstitutionally vague as applied by
NYC and the DA to these common pocket knives (which are distinct from gravity
knives and switchblades because of their bias towards closure). Knife Rights'
lawsuit intends to stop New York City officials from abusing this vague state
law to make bogus arrests of law-abiding citizens carrying common pocket
knives, and from coercing knife retailers into making huge payments to avoid
prosecution.(Click on "Read More >>>>" below for links to background articles)

Boy Scout Develops YMCA Walking Trail
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/02/10
The YMCA of Greater Richmond recently announced that a walking trail had been established on the Chickahominy Family YMCA property, thanks in part to Boy Scout Jared Appleby. The creation of the trail was the 17-year-old student's Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project and will allow Y members to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Before marking the best possible path for the walking trail, Appleby consulted a scoutmaster who works with the Henrico County Department of Recreation and Parks and family members who hiked the Appalachian Trail and researched trail development. In late August, Appleby worked with a team of 24 volunteers with hand tools and a borrowed bush hog to clear land for the trail, which is just shy of one mile in length. Appleby raised all of the funds and donations necessary to complete the trail by meeting with the Varina Ruritan Club and sending letters that secured support from national chains such as Home Depot, Kroger and Martins. Chickahominy Family YMCA officials hope to enhance the trail with exercise stations in the future.
