Fair Isle-Style Steeking:The Quick and Dirty Tutorial
In the last few weeks, I have received more than a dozen emails about steeking, the technique of cutting one's knitting. I always refer people to Eunny Jang's Steeking Chronicles, because they provide a wonderful overview of why and how knitted articles are cut. Eunny's tutorial covers how to plan for steeks and offers an overview of hand sewn steeks, crocheted steeks, and a bit about machine sewn steeks. I would encourage anyone interested in steeking to read the entire series because it is well worth the time.
However, for those who just want to know what they need to do to secure their knitting before a cut, I thought I would put together a really quick tutorial to cover the absolute basics of crocheted and machine-sewn steeking.
Why cut your knitting?
Why not? Would you rather purl back every other row? Or worse, purl back in a stranded color pattern? It's easier and faster to work in the round with the right side facing you the entire time. Although it sounds terrifying and difficult, cutting your knitting is shockingly easy to do. Really, it ought to be harder.
The key to success is to support the edges alongside the cut to ensure they do not unravel. This support can come in several forms: grippy, feltable wool stitch fibers holding themselves and each other in place, or feltable crochet chains, machine sewn lines, or hand sewn lines running down either side of the cut site. If the garment is made using multiple colors of non-superwash wool at a very fine gauge, it may not even be necessary to add extra support; the wool itself will provide enough, felting together at the steeks over time. Indeed, many traditional Fair Isle steeks were not supported with crochet or sewing at all.
This tutorial applies to Fair Isle-style steeking, in which extra stitches are cast on specifically for the steek. It should be noted that in Scandinavian-style steeking, the garment is worked in the round with no extra stitches; the cut is made directly into the garment pattern itself. Most steeks in contemporary patterns are done in the Fair Isle style. Given the choice, I would prefer to use crochet chains over a sewing machine any day. I am clumsy with a sewing machine and I do not trust myself not to make a dumb, difficult to reverse mistake. Experiment with both methods to determine what works best for you.
In the examples below, I will demonstrate the cut being made down the center of a column of stitches (as shown here, in Eunny's steeking tutorial), although it can certainly be done between two columns of stitches. For my swatch and waste yarn, I used multiple colors of Harrisville Designs New England Shetland. I knitted the swatch in stripes to make it easier for you to see exactly what I was doing. For a more detailed look at the pictures, click on any image to access higher resolution versions.
The Crocheted Steek
Advantages: It's fast, easy, and does not require sewing (or a sewing machine).
Disadvantages: I would say it is not as secure as a machine-sewn reinforcement; however, given the proper yarn choice, it will be strong enough.
Requirements: WOOL. Feltable animal fiber. Just say no to superwash wools, plant-based materials, and acrylics. This is not negotiable: the yarn must be able to felt and felt well. You will also need to have some feltable wool scrap yarn, a crochet hook several sizes smaller than the needles used for the garment, and be able to crochet a simple chain. Phenomenal crochet skills are not necessary: I learned to crochet only for this purpose, am barely able to produce more than a chain stitch, and have never had a steek fail because of my meager crochet skills.
1. ) With the garment upright, turn the work 90 degrees so that the bottom edge of the steek stitches is on the right. Identify one column of stitches as the steek column, the location of the cut. With a crochet hook, pick up the right half of the stitch to the left of the steek column stitch and the left half of the steek column stitch.
Since I casted my swatch with the white yarn, you will notice that the half stitches I picked up in this foundation row were both white. For every other row, the left one will be white and the right one will be blue, based on the striping of the swatch.
2.) With feltable scrap yarn, make a loop on the crochet hook and pull it through.
3.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook once more.
4.) Pull through the first loop. There will be only one stitch on the hook.
5.) Here, you will see the beginning of a single crochet chain. Continuing up the stitch columns, pick up the right half of the left stitch (white) and the left half of the steek column stitch (blue).
6.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook again and pull through. There will be two stitches on the hook.
7.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook and pull through both stitches. There will be one stitch on the hook.
Continue in this manner following steps 5-7 until the last stitches at the top of the column have been worked. Break the yarn and thread it through the last remaining loop to secure the chain. The chain will look like this:
Now, turn the work 180 degrees.
Repeat steps 1-7 outlined above, picking up the right half of the steek column stitch (blue) and the left half of the right stitch (white).
Return the work to the upright position so that the chains run vertically down the steek stitch block.
Notice how the crocheted chains splay out to the sides. You will be cutting between the two chains, taking care not to snip ANY of the yarn used for the chain. Starting at the bottom of the work with small, sharp scissors, carefully cut up the middle of the steek column.

View of the steek from the wrong side:
The Machine-Sewn Steek
Advantages: It's fast, provides a very sturdy reinforcement, and can be used with any kind of yarn.
Disadvantages: Running the knitted fabric through the sewing machine risks catching floats on the sewing machine plate and distorting the fabric a bit. A line of tiny stitches will also prove difficult (I would say impossible) to rip out if you make a mistake.
Requirements: A sewing machine (duh) and a small stitch setting. This can be done with fibers that do not felt as well as with those that do.
1) Identify one column of stitches as the steek column, the location of the cut (in my example, it is a blue column). You will be sewing straight lines down the center of the stitch columns on either side of the steek column (shown in white below). Take care not to catch any of the floats on the sewing machine plate and try not to pull the fabric through, as this will distort the edge.
2.) Beginning at the top of the work, lower the sewing machine needle into the center of the first stitch to the left of the steek column. Before you sew down the entire column, it is best to backstitch a little bit to ensure the stitching will not unravel. With a small stitch, sew a straight line down this column of stitches, backstitching again at the bottom.
Repeat this process with the column of stitches to the right of the steek column.
Starting at the bottom with small, sharp scissors, carefully cut up the middle of the steek column.
OK, I cut it, what now?
Now that you have a lovely, secured cut edge, you may be wondering what to do next. Chances are, the pattern will call for you to pick up stitches near the cut edge for button/buttonhole or armhole bands. Identify from where exactly (relative to the cut edge) those stitches will be picked up.
Here is an example of picking up stitches near a cut edge:
Once you pick up and knit these band stitches as directed, the stitches remaining closer to the cut edge will form a facing that can easily be tacked down to the inside of the garment. Here are some examples:
Now, go forth and cut away!

This is such a nice tutorial. Thanks. I was wondering how you tacked the steeks down afterward. I can see that you've done the blanket stitch, but how does that look on the right side? Do you only secure it through part of the ws fabric, like through the yarn?
What a fantastic tutorial – thank you so much for putting this together. I've been knitting for about 4 years now and have tried nearly every technique EXCEPT steeking. I have been too chicken!
I will definitely try at least a swatch before jumping right in but this has given me renewed courage.
Thanks again!
Thank you for this! Some day soon i'm going to tackle my first fair isle garment and shall be using this when the time comes.
I just did my first crocheted steeks yesterday and I wish I had seen this yesterday. It would have eased some of my (unfounded) fears! The one thing that I couldn't find in any tutorial is how to handle the top edge of the steek. I ended up whipstitching it to secure. The horizontal edges started to unravel (inspite of my awesome crocheted reinforcement of the vertical edge). I don't know if I did something wrong or if that's just implied (to reinforce them).
Regardless, Thank you for this tutorial! I need to go home and tack down the facings now.
Wow, that's really great! I feel a bit more secure about steeking in the future!
This gives me more confidence to partake such a task in the future. Thanks E for putting this tutorial together.
What a great tutorial. I've only steeked once and I reinforced using my sewing machine. I want to try it your way!
Thank you for such a terrific tutorial! I haven't ventured into steeking land yet, but you've encouraged me to at least consider it. :)
fair isle in the round and steeking are so pleasing to me! thanks for sharing the tutorial! :)
That is a fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to put it together. I've done machine steeking, but the crochet is so tidy.
Awesome tutorial! When I crochet a steek, then pull it/tug it apart before cutting, I can clearly see the strands to be cut. I also go very slowly when cutting. These little things give me that extra confidence to know that steeking isn't scary!
This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much for showing the actual steps in making a crocheted steek! I'm a very visual learner, so this is exactly what I needed. I'm ready to try steeking!
This is a very detailed tutorial – thank you so much. I still think I am not ready for steeking – it's just the scary me.
Excellent tutorial, Elinor. It makes me want to knit something up just for the purpose of trying the crochet steek method.
That is a great tutorial Elinor – I'll add it promptly to the Ravelry Stranded forum group pages.
In my continuing efforts to experience everything disastrous in knitting, I once had some ends in a crocheted steek work their way loose using Brown Sheep Nature Spun wool yarn so I now sew everything.
So, I'm knitting this baby pullover in cotton. I decided I wanted to try and steek a cut in the neckline and add a couple of buttons and then use the crocheted steek as a decorative edge and finish the rest of the neckline that way. That idea made me think of your recent tutorial. But then when I went back to read it I was sad when I read that I can't crochet steek cotton, but I can't really understand why. Is the single crochet not entirely secure. Maybe I'll just have to try it on a swatch… Thanks so much for the tutorial. It has inspired me to try it out!
Thanks for showing us!! I really want to try this in a fair isle west.
Thank you so much for posting this with so many clear, detailed photos and such a good step-by-step description. I'm going to be reinforcing and cutting my first steeks soon, and this is an excellent reference!

City Hall has officially become the Chinese Imperial Palace.
Since the resignation of Deputy Mayor Saul Green a few weeks ago, we've been told that Karen Dumas played the role of the scheming wife of the senile emperor -- played by Mayor Dave Bing -- who assassinated her enemies while hiding in the folds of the robe of her doddering old husband.
And like the emperor's wife, Dumas was handed her head on Friday.
There is no doubt Dumas, who functioned as Bing's de facto chief of staff, is an abrasive character: hard-charging, self-inflated, a political neophyte who captured the ear of the mayor. If she were a man, we'd be calling her ambitious. But she's a woman, so we call her unemployed.
But firing Dumas doesn't fix Bing's troubles. The fact is he doesn't know what he's doing. By my count, the firing of Dumas and Shannon Holmes, his chief of staff, makes 48 top-level executives that have quit Bing or been fired by him.
You had to know there were going to be problems when candidate Bing said he didn't care about politics or being popular when he stumped for the job more than two years ago. That's a pretty bold statement for a man who didn't even know where the executive washroom was.
So who did he surround himself with to help him navigate the corridors of City Hall? Political retreads.
Did Dumas push them out? Or did they walk away because the problems are too deep and too wide?
The fact is, the city has changed. Business no longer gets done over a cocktail. Contracts no longer go to cousins. The feds are barking at everybody's heels. The media has grown teeth. The governor is threatening to take over the city.
The party is over and the honey pot is empty.
I've watched the pronouncements come out of City Hall month after month: the police department was on the mend, ambulances were getting fixed, the abandoned houses were getting torn down, the "rightsizing" of Detroit was under way.
Those pronouncements were half-truths at best. We've had three fire commissioners and three police chiefs in two years.
So where does Bing turn now? We need fresh blood in City Hall. People who are intellectually sharp. Honest people. People who can add and subtract.
But the Bing/Dumas/Green drama only shows how shallow the talent pool is.
Before he became deputy mayor for Bing, Saul Green was the deputy mayor for interim Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr., whom Bing defeated in 2009. You may also remember that Cockrel's chief of staff, John Clark, went to prison for soliciting bribes in the sludge contract scandal. Cockrel has gone back to the city council.
Green was brought to the table by his friend Charlie Beckham, whom Bing had tapped to run his campaign and serve as his chief administrative officer. Beckham, you might recall, served time in the federal penitentiary for his role in water department scandal in the 80's while working for Mayor Coleman Young.
Green made his bones as the chief legal counsel to Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara. And it is worth noting that McNamara's chief political counsel was Bernard Kilpatrick, now under federal indictment along with his son, Kwame Kilpatrick, on a raft of corruption charges.
Before Kwame Kilpatrick was sent to the state penitentiary, Dumas worked as his community affairs director, which handled relations with neighborhood organizations and churches.
Dumas has hired Sharon McPhail as her lawyer to fight a lawsuit filed against her this week by a disgruntled former employee, the same Sharon McPhail who represented Kwame Kilpatrick in his sext-message, perjury and obstruction case.
The secretary who filed suit against Dumas and Bing -- Rochelle Collins -- worked for Kirk Lewis, who was Bing's right-hand man at Bing Steel until the company went bankrupt. So much for business acumen.
Lewis came to City Hall and in little more than a year was fired by his old friend after allegations he was lobbying the governor for a job as the emergency manager of the Detroit Public Schools behind Bing's back.
Now Lewis is back as chief of staff. I'm told the governor had his hand in that because of Lewis' said business acumen.
After the nightmare of the Monica Conyers era, it's funny to think that we're suddenly looking to city council for leadership.

Angel Governing Dec 8th to 12th
Angel number 52 - ANGEL IMAMIAH - Energy: EXPIATION OF ERRORS
(I pronounce the Angel's Name: EE-MAW-MEE-AH)
Qualities: Ease of recognizing one's errors - Expiates, pays back, makes amends for errors (one's karma) - Ardor, strength, great vigor - Liberates from prison within - Execution of arduous work with ease - Support in difficult moments - Makes peace with enemies - Faithful servant.
Distortions: unstable and tumultuous emotional life - competitive love life - overly passionate relationship - enemy, fight, quarrel, roughness - emotional excess - meanness because non-recognition of his victims - worsens one's karma, sinister fate.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name IMAMIAH by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke IMAMIAH keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
IMAMIAH is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is Dec 8th to Dec 12th

Prostitution is a brutal business and it's closer than you think. Now, those battling sex trafficking are uncovering the real face of the crime and betting that once people know more, they'll know better.
Brenda Myers Powell is one of four former prostitutes on the sheriff's payroll. She's there when women get picked up during sex trafficking stings and offers them a chance to escape the life through the Cook County's Women's Justice Program.
One young girl was surprised to have someone offer her services.
"I mean, it was my first time getting arrested for prostitution," the girl says. "I thought they were going to end up in jail."
Women caught selling sex are lucky to end up here.
"They can clean up, they can rest, re-energize and be safe, that's the key," Baker says. "We try to re-educate them and teach them a better way. You know as far as their education, job placement and so forth."
Most of the inmates in the program have drug problems. Sex traffickers routinely get their workers hooked to control them, and if they die or go to prison, they'll just be replaced. They're disposable in a high-demand industry.
Men picked up in the sheriff's reverse sting operations are required to watch a video called "Johns School," which show real life accounts of the risks: sexually transmitted diseases, ruined lives, and exploitation.
On Manheim Road, all the undercover stings in recent years have almost dried up the once blatant sex trade. Customers are scared off to other places.
We found some of the local spots advertised online just this week, purporting to sell massages with perks like "wandering hands." Customers then post "reviews" of the services.
"We've arrested thousands of people now, off these ads," Dart says about the online postings. "Not once -- not once, have we ever had to apologize and say 'oh my God, it really is a massage, our mistake, we gotta leave.'"
But law enforcement needs the help of public outrage instead of people ignoring or avoiding the signs of sex trafficking. Some of which include the scantily clad women walking the track, the house on the block with a constant stream of men, or the thinly veiled propositions in personal service ads on the internet.
Someone has even posted a video on YouTube of a pimp beating one of his women in the middle of Madison Street. No one intervened.
It's no wonder prostituted people feel there's no way out.
"Some girls are ready for the help, and some girls are not," says Powell. "We just arrested her, she was on the street, she wasn't thinking of turning her life around at the time when she just got arrested."
When the women do accept the services, the sheriff reports a very high success rate. They're not coming back to jail time after time, doing hard time, or dying. Its' a good deal for tax payers, compared to sex trafficking, which is not.
To get help or give an anonymous tip, visit the Dream Catcher Foundation website or the Cook County Sheriff's Women's Justice Services site.
Visit the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation's site to donate to state's campaign to end sexual exploitation.
You can also donate and learn more about the state's response to prostitution and sex trafficking at END Demand Illinois' website.

By Alan Duke and Holly Yan
SANTA CLARITA, California (CNN) -- Stunned by his untimely death in a car wreck, fans, friends and family remembered actor Paul Walker -- what he meant to them and what he did for them.
His father remembered him as a loving son who wanted to take a hiatus from acting. A fellow actor recalled how he had just celebrated Walker's 40th birthday. And a U.S. military veteran will forever be grateful for a touching act of generosity.
Walker died in a fiery crash in Southern California on Saturday. He was in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, driven by a racing team partner, that slammed into a light pole and burst into flames in the community of Valencia, Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.
The driver, identified by CNN affiliate KCAL-TV as Roger Rodas, also died.
Day and night Sunday, legions of fans gathered near the charred roadside where Walker died.
Tyrese Gibson, Walker's co-star in several "Fast & Furious" movies, broke down as he laid a yellow flower at the site.
"My heart is hurting so bad no one can make me believe this is real," the singer and actor posted on Instagram. He also shared the duo's last text exchange.
Remarkable generosity
Tales of Walker's philanthropy are not new. CNN confirmed one story from a decade ago when Walker noticed a young U.S. soldier shopping with his fiancee for a wedding ring in a Santa Barbara jewelry store.
"The groom was just back from duty in Iraq, and he was going to be deployed again soon and wanted to buy a wedding ring, but he said he just could not afford it," saleswoman Irene King told CNN. "I don't think the soldier realized how expensive those rings are, about $10,000."
The couple apparently did not know who Walker was, King said.
"Walker called the manager over and said, 'Put that girl's ring on my tab,' " she said. "Walker left all his billing info, and it was a done deal. The couple was stunned. She was thrilled and could not believe someone did this."
King called it "the most generous thing I have ever seen."
A grieving father
Walker Sr. choked back tears as he remembered his son.
"His heart was so big," Paul Walker Sr. told CNN affiliate KCAL. "I was proud of him every day of his life."
The actor told his father that he wanted to take a hiatus from acting to spend more time with his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow, Walker Sr. said.
"And then boom, he got another movie. He would say, 'I don't know what to do,'" the elder Walker said.
He said the actor's siblings are having an especially hard time grappling with the death.
"I'm just ... glad that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him," Walker Sr. said. And he would say the same thing to me."
Future of franchise
At the time of his death, he was working on the seventh film of the franchise, due out next year.
It's unclear how the film's production might proceed. When Oliver Reed died mid-production of "Gladiator," the rest of his scenes included a digitally-produced image of his face on another actor's body, Tom O'Neil, editor of the show business website Goldderby.com, told CNN.
In some cases, other actors have filled in for co-stars who have passed away.
"We don't know what they'll do here, or even if they'll just say, "It may be tasteless to proceed at all because we can't be showing Paul Walker in a speeding car, defying death in a movie that ended up being the way he died,'" O'Neil said.
Questionable speed
Los Angeles Coroner Investigator Dana Bee said Sunday it would likely take 48 hours to officially identify the remains taken from the twisted wreckage. The families are gathering dental records for use in the identification, which is necessary because of the condition of the bodies, Bee said.
Speed was a factor in the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said. A 45 mph speed limit sign was attached to the light pole knocked down by the Porsche.
The car, which sold for $450,000 when new, is a notoriously difficult vehicle to handle, even for professional drivers, according to Autoweek magazine. A top driver called it "scary," the magazine reported Sunday. It is powered by a V-10, 610-hp engine.
The wreck took place about 3:30 p.m. just a few hundred yards from the shop owned by Rodas. Both men had attended a holiday toy drive for Walker's charity, Reach Out Worldwide, hosted at the shop Saturday afternoon.
Antonio Holmes told the Santa Clarita Valley Signal newspaper that he was at the charity event when Walker and Rodas left for a ride in the Porsche.
"We all heard from our location," Holmes told the Signal. "It's a little difficult to know what it was. Someone called it in and said it was a vehicle fire. We all ran around and jumped in cars and grabbed fire extinguishers and immediately went to the vehicle. It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried. We went through fire extinguishers."
A crowd of grieving fans, curious onlookers and media surrounded the crash site for hours, watching as investigators and firefighters worked to extract the bodies from the wreckage.
Walker and Rodas had planned Saturday as a day to help survivors of victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The car shop website invited customers to the Charity Toy Drive & Automotive Social Gathering.
"During the holiday season, many economically disadvantaged children from around the world are faced with the same dilemma year after year; the lacking of joy and cheer," the invitation read. "Our goal here is to be able to provide aid to these less fortunate children in hopes of helping them grow up to become confident, responsible and productive young adults."
Walker's charity is described as "a network of professionals with first responder skill-sets who augment local expertise when natural disasters strike in order to accelerate relief efforts."
Box office success
Walker's career began on the small screen, first with a commercial for Pampers when he was 2, and then with parts in shows such as "Highway to Heaven" and "Touched by an Angel."
His first few movie roles were as supporting characters in teen flicks, most notably in "Varsity Blues." But his career really took off when he was cast as undercover cop Brian O'Conner infiltrating a street-racing gang in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious."
The box-office success of the surprise summer hit yielded numerous sequels. And along with Vin Diesel, Walker was one of the franchise stalwarts.
Walker wasn't just a car enthusiast on the silver screen; offscreen, the actor competed in the Redline Time Attack racing series.
On his verified Twitter account, Walker described himself as an "outdoorsman, ocean addict, adrenaline junkie ... and I do some acting on the side."
Walker also is the star of "Hours," an independent film scheduled to be released December 13 about a father struggling to keep his newborn infant alive in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
CNN's Alan Duke reported from Santa Clarita, and Holly Yan from Atlanta.

Last week, an Eden Prairie woman lost her beloved Yorkshire terrier after a larger dog bit the 6-pound pooch at a dog park. Now, dog lovers are discussing the do's and don'ts of popular off-leash areas.
Although Tessie Brandbury is asking the city to create a special area for smaller dogs in the wake of the fatal bite, segregating by size is no guarantee that things will go smoothly.
Beyond bringing water and picking up any doggie droppings, one of the most important things to remember is that it's not all about the pets at the park. It's about the owners too.
"I like taking my dog, Penny, here to just mostly use some energy up," Peter Gilbreath told FOX 9 News. "Otherwise, she's just mostly inside all day."
Aside from socializing with other dogs, exercise is one of the main reasons owners bring their pets to off-leash areas; however, dog trainer Katie K9 said forcing interactions between unfamiliar animals can cause problems.
"I'm not a big believer in dog parks because people -- it's the owners that are not versed enough to make sure everything is going right," she said.
Gilbreath admits he often comes to the park and figures things out once he's there, but Katie has been teaching dog obedience for 30 years. She warns that dog parks atmospheres can create a constant struggle to find a position in a pack, and that can be more than stressful. In fact, she says a bad situation could lead to long-term changes in behavior.
"Every owner should understand what body signals their dog is trying to tell other dogs or to them," she recommended. "They do a lot of signals to us, but if you're not receptive to you, you don't understand they're trying to talk to us."
As for best practices in off-leash areas, Katie says dogs should never be kept on a leash and that big dogs and little dogs should be exercised in separate areas because of the size difference and potential for injuries.
Beyond that, Katie says keeping a close eye on how your dog is interacting with others is crucial.
"A lot of owners go to the dog parks and unhook," she said. "They're just socializing. They're not paying any attention to the dynamics of what's going on."
Whether the pooch is big or small, that rule is true among for all owners of four-legged friends.
"That's really the primary thing with dog park etiquette," Wade Rogers echoed. "Know your dog and be responsible enough to step in and grab your dog and pull him out if you feel like they're getting too nervous or scared or aggressive."
Katie K9 told FOX 9 News there are a few alternatives to dog parks. She recommends scheduling play dates with specific dogs, getting exercise via walks, and practicing obedience, agility and other tricks to keep the mind active too.
For more information on interpreting dog behaviors, Katie K9 recommends owners check out a book called "Canine Body Language," the photographic guide published by Brenda Aloff.

When buying binoculars what are you getting? All binoculars have three common parts which allows the binoculars to magnify and direct images back to your eye. An objective lens captures an upside-down image. A set of adjusting prisms turns the image 180 degrees so it is seen right side up. The last piece is the eyepiece that magnifies the image. Even though the first binoculars came into existence in 1608 one thing remains the same. Glass binoculars have eyepieces and objective lenses are each comprised of multiple elements used to magnify and adjust distance images.
Binocular magnification is measured by two numbers. The first number is the real magnification, and the second number is the lens diameter. For example, 10 x 50 specifies that objects will appear ten times closer and the lens is 50 millimeters in diameter. The magnification needed to see craters on the moon will be greater than bird watching in the back yard. A good pair of astronomical binoculars will have a magnification of 10X50 while that amount of zoom can be over kill if you are just doing a little backyard birding. So when buying a pair of binoculars the first step to making it a successful purchase is to prioritize the intended use of your new binoculars.
Birdwatching or birding is a very popular hobby that is enhanced through the use of binoculars. For serious birdwatching binoculars are an absolutely necessary piece of equipment. A good pair of binoculars will be easy to hold steady and show the delicate contrasts in colors with clarity and accuracy. Because you never know when a memorable birdwatching moment may occur your binoculars must focus quickly and up close and work well low light conditions like shaded tree cover, early mornings and dusk. Because the birder might be hiking in heavy terrain the glasses must be kept free from dust and moisture.
First of all compact binoculars are light. No one wants to hike around for long periods of time with a 5 pound pair of binoculars tied around their neck. Compact binoculars can weigh as little as 6 ounces and a majority of them will weigh less than 20 ounces. That lower weight will help reduce neck and back strain. Compact binoculars are easier and quicker on the draw. Because birds can be elusive you will want a pair of compact binoculars that are light and easy to target and track the elusive prey. You can get into viewing position much faster. If the binoculars are lighter, you are apt to taking them out more often when you travel. So really the best binoculars are the ones you are going to get the most use out of.
Buy the best pair you can afford. Think of your purchase as an investment. It pays to invest in the compact binoculars you really want. You will never be sorry you bought the best binoculars. Investing in superior optics really does pay off for birders in the quality of experience they provide. They will stand up to heavy use and keep their resale value.

Carmelo Anthony officially opted out of the final year of his contract with the New York Knicks on Monday, according to his agent, Leon Rose.
Anthony will become a free agent on July 1.
"Carmelo loves being a Knick, he loves the city and he loves the fans," Rose said in a statement. "At this stage of his career, he just wants to explore his options."
Anthony would have been paid $23.5 million for his final year with the Knicks. Instead, he will test the free-agent market and could land with the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks or Miami Heat.
Anthony has been doing research on the city of Chicago, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Anthony has reportedly spoken to at least one high-profile person who lives in Chicago about what it is like to be famous there.
Likewise, the Bulls have reportedly conducted their own research of Anthony recently. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has contacted some of Anthony's former coaches to ask about him, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
ESPN reported in March that Anthony spoke to Bulls center Joakim Noah during All Star weekend about what it is like playing for Thibodeau. Noah reportedly used the conversation as a recruiting pitch to Anthony.
Anthony is also reportedly considering the Rockets and Mavericks as possible free agency destinations. In addition, the Heat are exploring options to see if they might pursue the seven-time All-Star.
In recent weeks, Knicks president Phil Jackson has met with Anthony to try to persuade him to play out the final year of his contract and put off free agency for a year.
Anthony could re-sign with the Knicks for $129 million over five years. If he signs with another team, his maximum deal would be worth $96 million over four years.
The 30-year-old Anthony played for the Denver Nuggets from 2003-2011 until he was traded to the Knicks in a three-team deal that also involved the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 6-foot 8-inch, 230-pound forward has averaged 25.3 points per game during his 12-year career.

An evacuation has been ordered at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice after an apparent power outage in the building.
Fox 2 crews were inside the building covering a hearing for Bob Bashara, who is accused of having his wife Jane Bashara murdered.
The question before the court to ponder is whether there is enough evidence to try Bashara on first-degree murder charges.
Reporter Amy Lange and her crew were providing a live stream to our web site, myFOXdetroit.com and to the Fox 2 News app for smart phones.
They were told to pack up and leave, but to use the stairs in doing so as the elevators are not functioning.
This is the second evacuation ordered this week. On Monday, the hall was shut down after a prisoner stabbed a Wayne County Sheriff's deputy and then escaped after carjacking a woman who was driving a minivan.
The fugitive was caught after being on the loose for several hours.
The event pushed the start of Bob Bashara's hearing on Monday back by four hours. Today the hearing was interrupted as Bashara's former girlfriend was describing her relationship with him.
So far Rachel Gillett has testified that she and Bob met through a web site alt.com. She says she used to call him "Master Bob." She says he called her "Bella" for a period of time.
The power went out just as she was describing a sexual breathing game called "breath play" that involves placing one's hands around the others throat.
Gripping testimony considering that Jane Bashara was murdered by strangulation.
Play the video to hear her words and to see the power outage in the courtroom.
The Frank Murphy Hall of Justice is closed for the day. Testimony in the Bashara case is expected to be resumed on Thursday.
Fox 2 has learned that several buildings in downtown and near downtown Detroit are without power.
Fox 2 is told that the Detroit's Power and Lighting Department is working to correct the issue. DTE Energy is also involved to resolve the situation.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells. It may first appear as a new mole, a change in a growth or mole, a sore that does not heal, or an irritation of the skin.
Exposure to the sun is the most common cause of skin cancer. Problems with the body's defense system (impaired immune system) and a family history of skin cancer also increase a person's risk.
There are 3 major types of skin cancer:
Skin cancer is treated by removing the cancerous area with either surgery (excision) or freezing (cryotherapy). For melanomas that have spread to the lymph nodes, other treatments may be used after surgery.

Ellen's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
I honestly don't really watch sports, but I'm a Packer's fan by blood.
What's your favorite movie quote?
"One question: are you here 'cause you need someone, or 'cause you need me?... Forget it, I don't care." Lloyd Dobler is my teenage dream.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Nintendo 64 Golden Eye. I just might kick your ass. ;)
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Some self recorded vocal practice tracks. Yikes! Hahaha!
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
They are all so shitty I don't remember. Except one guy I turned down very politely replied, "Well then I'll leave it at a compliment then." If I hadn't had a boyfriend I would have snatched that man back up in a heartbeat. Respect goes a long way with me.
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I once did a modeling gig in Greece for gas station uniforms. Wow was that attractive!
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Meat. On a stick. Just meat on a stick. Give me a dang kabob and I will be so happy.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
I'm such a granny. I love prunes!
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I was shooting in Paris recently for a lovely nude photographer, Renee Jacobs, and we had several daring escapades - amazingly the cops JUST missed us every time! I can't believe how close we were to being caught.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
Nothing, or a pair of thigh highs.
Tell us a joke.
What do you call a no-armed no-legged man in a pool? Bob. That's from the 3rd grade. Don't judge. :/ Haha.

Morning DiscussionWith Plants vs. Zombies not unlocking on Steam for another four hours, I suppose we might as well do some video games in the meantime. Today at Shacknews I shall discover whether it's worse to babysit someone or to cover for them.
I suspect covering is worse. Sure, babysitting means I have to wipe their snotty noses and remind them to eat lunch, but when a new Katamari Damacy trailer arrives and glee fills their ruddy jam-smeared ruddy faces, oh it warms the cockles of my heart.

Another day, another "BRAUN EVIL!" story from the "Worldwide Leader"
As an aside: I FULLY understand where this is coming from, as it is a little slow sports news wise right now, and MLB might well just be taking their sweet time with the other names on the list just to twist the knife in Braun a little more, because frankly once the other names are released nationally he really becomes just a foot note in the larger story. I am a little surprised they haven't gone into full on "NFL Training Camp... and NOTHING else exists" mode yet, and I have a feeling that'll happen after this weekend (Thinking back, I still can't tell if this is more or less annoying than last year at this time when it became "JETS-TEBOW-CENTER" for the entire MONTH of August... it's almost a dead heat.)
So apparently nobody trusts Ryan Braun anymore.
In other news: water wet, sun hot. Why anybody "trusts" anyone they don't actually know is a TOTAL mystery to me to begin with. Frankly about the only people who should really care about said story are Brauns agents and the handful of advertising people who hand out endorsements. For the rest of us it's just "SLOW SPORTS NEWS DAY" filler. AND BTW Winning tends to fix things, so once he comes back next year and starts hitting, all shall be well again... well, except with the people who really didn't like him to begin with but tolerated him for the team sake, and with those who live in the deluded fantasy world that everyone on every team they ever root for has to be clean, saintly, and perfect. Probably no forgiveness there. (That second group are the funny one's BTW, as ask them the "Do you think he was the only one on the team taking something? Or that nobody on any of your teams is now? Or that Biogenesis is the only clinic handing out said stuff? Or that the clients who get suspended are the only ones in the game taking something?"... and you either get hemming and hawing or a "Yes!" which answers the "stupid or liar" question for whomever you're dealing with...)
So if it's a nothing story, why the blog post? On the short list of "Things that continue to bother me" is the following statement, which has been in EVERY ESPN Braun story since the scandal broke:
"Braun famously attacked the integrity of urine sample collector Dino Laurenzi Jr., whose keeping of Braun's sample for nearly two days before sending it to the lab provided a technicality for the former MVP to escape a 50-game suspension from a positive drug test in 2011."
(sigh) ESPN really REALLY won't let this point go for some reason...
So once again, I'm going to toss out the following: YES Ryan Braun attacked the procedure, and the collector, BECAUSE THE PROCEDURE AND COLLECTOR WERE BOTH WRONG!
Whether the guy tampered with the sample or not (and I lean towards not at this point):
B. IT MADE ZERO SENSE FOR HIM TO DO SO! (the "Fed-ex wasn't open" defense has been proven to be a lie many, MANY times)
The parallel here is the OJ case. Did OJ kill his wife? Probably. (Legally I have to say "Probably" there BTW... just try and stick with me) However did that make the HORRIFIC conduct of the LAPD forensics unit collections practices and tactics any less horrific? Absolutely not! After the fact people were RIGHTLY fired and policies were changed. Same should have happened here. Braun being guilty didn't make the fact that he did his job in a slipshot manner ANY better after the fact. (OK so you didn't tamper with the sample... you're still s-canned for making the easily avoidable argument that you even could have unavoidable by not simply doing what you were supposed to!) And I know this much: if I was taking a drug test for anything, I sure as hell wouldn't want whomever the person handling said sample was to take it home for the weekend before it got tested!
So yes he attacked the guy in his speech, however he was ABSOLUTELY right in doing so. I know ESPN needs to keep making him "EVIL STEROID BOY" but can we get at least a dose of actual journalism in the reporting of said story? PLEASE?
Then again... if it keeps them out of Jets camp, maybe it's the price to pay (and yeah I know, they apparently just moved the tent up the road to Patriots camp instead this year... at least that team has a chance to do SOMETHING... Maybe that's )
