From the article: Differences Between Knitting and Crochet
Share your thoughts on the topic of crochet vs knitting. Which do you prefer? In your experience, which one is faster? In your opinion, is one technique better suited to certain types of projects than the other?
- definitely crochet i found it much easier and can make more stuff like detailed flowers thanks for the essay!
- —Guest jenna
knit vs crochet
- Although crochet is much easier to rip out if you make a mistake, knitting uses much less yarn, I find. Maybe I'm wrong
- —Guest Shirley Moore
I love Crocheting!
- I was taught knitting when I was a child than learned crocheting when I was a teen and love crocheting. But I got to admit sometimes I wish I could remember how to knit
- —Guest Kim1966
It depends on where I am
- I'm about 50/50 as to the preference, but when I'm in public I prefer to knit. The main reason is that it seems that anyone holding yarn and a "stick thingy" is presumed to be knitting and I'm tired of explaining the difference! :)
- —Guest Aaron
- I love crochet!! I have no patience 4 knitting. Tried to learn but failed epically!!!
- —Guest A Teen Girl
Crochet, all the way.
- Crochet is the only yarn crafting I do. I love it, it's highly addictive, and I will never stop. It's a thousand times more versatile, and knitting looks so complicated. I vow never to learn how to knit, as I will forever stay faithful to my beloved craft, crochet.
- —Guest Elisse
Knit 80% vs. crochet 20%
- I've done both. I like both. I prefer knitting over crocheting, both for the end results & the mechanism of creating the stitches.
- —Guest Scoochy
Mostly crochet, but trying knitting, too
- Knitting held such pitfalls - I always ended up dropping stitches or finding them twisted the wrong way - that I taught myself crocheting when my daughter was a baby. Thread crochet is especially beautiful for lace. Knitting, however, uses so much less yarn and is much lighter weight. So, now that both of my children are adults, I am trying to learn to do more with knitting.
- —Guest Mary Alice O'Neill
Addicted to Crochet
- When it comes to garments, I'm always drawn to the knitted ones, I guess because they generally have a tighter weave. I haven't learned knitting but recently took up crochet and I'm addicted! I'm learning that one can get that tighter, sleeker look with the right stitches and finer yarns. I'm finding so many things I want to crochet that I may never get around to knitting!
- —Guest Rhonda Currie
crochet vs knitting
- Definitely crochet. It is much easier than knitting. To tell the truth, there is just something about having to do something with all those little loops on a knitting needle that just freaks me out! One loop at a time is all I can handle. I've been doing it for 60 years and prefer the patterns with charts. That way you can even crochet in Japanese!
- —Guest BL DeBushe
i love crocheting
- i tried to learn how to knit, but i just don't have the patience. I think crocheting is better because one hook is used as opposesd to 2 long needles
- —Guest Nikki
Crochet all the way
- I prefer to crochet because of the variety and ease of shapes and stitches. I also prefer it to knit because if you make a mistake with crochet all you have to do is pull the yarn apart whereas knitting you have to unknit, which takes more time and patience.
- —Guest Janice Inman

Crochet !!
- I do know how to knit and use it for plain yardage but anything with increases/decreases - give me crochet every time !! It's easier to shape as you go for soft sculpture - it just grows organically. YAY Crochet!
- —Guest LaceCat
It's not a war!
- Crochet and knitting each have their advantages and drawbacks - I am happy to know and use both.

It's never a bad thing to have low cholesterol. Mine is still low but, I think, reasonable. Last testing, 149 (non-fasting). It originally was around 120-125. Look at it this way...you'll probably never have to worry about heart disease! Be more concerned with raising HDL......mine was in the 20's and now is just under 60.
Good luck and congratulations with the baby!
Cholesterol that is too low poses many health risks including, connective tissue disorders, chronic inflammation, cancer,. mental illness, depression, anxiety, and mortality. Not to mention that it decreases your ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

Epic Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Listed as the Best New Steel Coaster for 2013
During Annual Golden Ticket Awards
Amusement Today industry publication "Golden Ticket Awards" recently listed the epic new Iron Rattler coaster as the highest rated new steel rollercoaster on this year's World's Best New Attraction rankings for 2013, Lone Star Nights best regional theme park night time show, and #2 Best Shows for 2013.
The Golden Ticket Awards are held annually and honor "the best of the best" in the amusement industry in various categories. Calculated from an international poll conducted by Amusement Today, the Golden Ticket Awards are the results of a detailed survey that is sent to a database of experienced and well-traveled amusement park fans around the world.
The new epic Iron Rattler rollercoaster is a massive new coaster standing tall at 171-feet with a staggering 81-degree drop featuring a Zero-G Barrel Roll! The Iron Rattler is a unique technological marvel which combines a classic wooden support structure with modern track and rails crafted of steel, allowing for unprecedented smooth and swift over-banked turns and inversions never before experienced on either a traditional steel or wooden coaster.

"Iron Rattler really performed for Six Flags Fiesta Texas, as did Lone Star Nights. The laser/multi-media night show was the only theme park show in the industry to be a finalist amongst the caliber of Disney productions. And Iron Rattler, what a hit! Even the most experienced coaster enthusiasts were finding it to be a remarkable masterpiece of coaster brilliance. I totally loved it," said Golden Ticket Communications Coordinator Tim Baldwin of Amusement Today.
"We certainly knew we had a winning coaster with Iron Rattler. What great recognition of this innovative attraction and the thrills it will continue to provide for many years to come. We'd like to also thank the readers of Amusement Today, their enthusiasm and support are certainly much appreciated," stated Martin Bozer, park president.

Smart Sensor Market Growing at 36.25% CAGR to 2020
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RnRMarketResearch.com adds "Smart / Intelligent Sensor Market by Type (Flow Sensor, Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, Temperature Sensor, Pressure Sensor, Touch Sensor), Technology (MEMS, CMOS), Application (Aerospace, Automotive, Industrial, Building Automation), & by Geography - Forecasts & Analysis to 2013 - 2020 " report to its research database.
The term smart sensor was coined in the mid-1980s, and since then several devices such as accelerometer, optical sensor, infrared detector, integrated multisensor and so on are called as smart sensors. The intelligence required by such devices is available from microcontroller unit (MCU), digital signal processor (DSP), and Application-Specific ntegrated circuit (ASIC) technologies developed by several semiconductor manufacturers. The smart sensor is an analog or digital transducer or actuator combined with a processing unit and a communication interface. Some of the functions of smart sensors are information processing, communications, validation, integration, data fusion, and so on. Applications of smart sensors include industrial automation, aerospace and defense, building automation, biomedical, automotive, and consumer electronics. Some of the advantages of smart sensors are lower cost, self indication, auto correction, auto display, ease of use, high reliability, compactness, and so on.
Currently, the U.S., U.K., South Korea and China are the major countries who have captured the smart sensor market and according to the forecast, the next growing countries which will move their position upwards up to 2020 will be Canada and Germany. The China and Brazil will also show upward growth and boosting their profits. The technologies which are incorporated in smart sensors are Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Complementary Metal Oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, and Optical spectroscopy. Currently, pressure sensors are being employed in smart phones and computer devices having touch screen displays. So, it is expected that it will bring a widely used platform for smart sensors.
Complete Report Available @
The various types of smart sensors which are widely used in various applications are flow sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, touch sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, turbidity sensors, oxidation reduction potential (ORP) sensors, and PH sensors. Flow sensor is a device for sensing the rate of fluid flow and is mainly used for industrial automation applications.
Smart sensors today, are now being integrated in almost all the devices like automotive, wearable devices and so on due to their flexibility and miniaturization.

Report: West Responders Weren't Prepared to Fight Fertilizer Plant Fire
Originally published on Fri May 16, 2014 8:30 am
The Texas State Fire Marshal's Office says the deaths of 12 people responding to last year's explosion at the West Fertilizer plant could have been prevented.
The Fire Marshal's report [PDF] released Thursday night says the first responders killed in the April 2013 fertilizer plant explosion in West,Texas were not prepared or equipped to deal with such a dangerous situation.
The report says that is not because the first responders failed to perform their duties as they had been trained, but due to a "systemic deficiency in the training and preparation" of the firefighters.
The report says the firefighters were responding to the fire as if it were in a house, instead of a large and complicated commercial property.
The Fire Marshal's office also says all emergency crews should have a specific plan for responding to situations at facilities containing hazardous materials, such as the ammonium nitrate at the West Fertilizer plant.
The report also says if the plant would have had a working sprinkler system the fire may have been controlled.

I am developing a business model to enable more Tesla enthusiasts to enjoy driving a Model S. The way it works is that I purchase a MS and essentially rent it to 4 people, each taking their turn with the car for a week on a rotating 4 week basis. This would be a 36 month agreement- like a part-time lease. I am gauging interest in this approach. I invite replies as to whether people would pay in the range of $395 to $450 a month for this service (again, drive it basically 1 week of the month). The effective cost is more like $295 to $350 when considering the savings of not driving your primary vehicle for a given week. I may arrange for delivery and pick-up. Initial site is Phila area, but hope to expand to other regions if successful. Eager to hear thoughts. Thanks!
There's a reason arrangements like this are not popular. If the arrangement is only for one week a month, then each participant must still have a separate primary mode of transportation for the other 3 weeks of the month. That probably means an ICE vehicle which must still be paid for, insured, maintained, and parked/garaged all 4 weeks of the month. This other vehicle doesn't go away or stop depreciating one week every month just because the driver has access to a Model S. So each participant is now paying 100% of the cost of an ICE vehicle plus 25% of the cost of the Model S every month, regardless of the number of miles driven.
In addition to the costs, there are practical considerations for time-shared assets:
What happens when someone wants to go on road trip that extends past their week?
What happens when someone returns the car at the end of their week without charging it up?
What happens when someone changes jobs or moves away and no longer is willing/able to participate in the car-share?
What happens if one person puts excessive wear on the car (burning out tires, keeping battery at 100% SoC, etc.)?
What happens when someone is reckless with the car and damages/destroys it?
Sole ownership of an asset provides the right incentives for behavior - when a person bears the direct consequences of his actions, he is motivated to act responsibly. When the consequences are spread amongst a group, or worse, a 3rd party, there's no reason for a driver to treat the car any better than a rental. And there's plenty of reasons no one rents cars 1 week a month for 36 months at a time, regardless of the drive train.
pricing seems high, can you brak that down more?
some fair points. And to reply to other comment- I thought about the Getaround/Relay Rides approach, but the demand on the East coast is more uncertain, and I can offer much lower rates per day of use than Getaround. Yes, this would be a second car for members, not their primary mode of transportation. There would be savings of gas and SOME depreciation for miles not driven (although time is also a factor). I think the biggest obstacle you mention is if a member moves out of the area. There would need to be an "out-clause" for this, with a minor penalty for ending the agreement early. People would be financially responsible for damage, and there would be full insurance.
Not for everyone, but I have to believe this is attractive to a number of folks, esp when considering that a MS commands up to $500+ per day for rental! For almost half that you can have the car for a week. Really just aimed at people who want the excitement of being able to regularly drive a MS without having to break the bank. Remember, these would not be Tesla owners otherwise, so it helps get more of these sweet EVs on the road.
Thanks for the candor, though. I hope to hear more feedback (esp positive!). I am testing the viability of this concept despite some challenges.
Blaquito- Thanks for the comment. Pricing adds up to about $1,600 for 4 members combined, which is only about $300 a month more than total operating cost, so not making big money here, but enough to perhaps make it worth the risk and hassle.
pricing seems high, can you break that down more?
sorry for the double comment.. i guess that's not too crazy. But i agree with bcorob, i don't know how it work. seems like there would need to be a lot of red tape and contracts and stuff.
Some pay phones charge upwards of $3 a minute for a phone call. Some people might even pay those charges occasionally, because the phone is available right when and where they need it.
But that doesn't mean there is a market for a cell phone plan that costs $20 for one week a month, pre-purchased 36 months at a time. It doesn't matter that it's cheaper than 7 minutes on an expensive pay phone. There's just no market for that sort of usage. One fixed week a month means you have all the obligation of an ongoing ownership cost with none of the flexibility.
A better model might be a NetJets-like fractional-ownership structure. One company manages a fleet of jets and promises to make one available on demand for as long as you need it. As a customer, your membership purchases a fraction of an actual jet, and includes a base amount of hours per month. The company takes care of maintenance, scheduling, and ongoing costs.
But because you have to have inventory for peak demand (everyone wants to take it out on sunny holiday weekends), the costs per person would likely need to be much more than what you propose here. In an effort to bring down the total outlay, you've basically proposed a plan which achieves 100% utilization by pre-assigning each week to an owner. This model has seen some success in vacation timeshares, where customers often buy 1 week a year in perpetuity. But the difference is that vacation is an occasional need, so one week a year makes sense; and timeshare owners often have access to trade for a variety of other inventory that meets their occasional vacation time/place needs.
Your plan accounts for neither of these. I'm still baffled who is in the market for a car to use for one week a month.
Apparently nobody! Although I dont agree 100% with all of your comments, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thanks for taking the time to consider it. One test of the concept is whether I myself would pay that amount for to be able to drive the best car on the road 25% of the time. I can't say I'd jump on it immediately due to my financial obligations, but I would seriously consider it. I thought there would people with a little more disposable income that would love it, but the lack of positive feedback indicates that this may not be the case. If I do purchase a MS, I may go with RelayRides (Getaround)to defray some cost. To your point, there are probably a lot more people that would rent once or twice- maybe a lot of "try before your buy", etc.
hmm...the "rent and see how it fits you" plan/"REALLY extended test drive"
All good for visibility.
Not entirely sure for long term business model.
I know this would not appeal to me. As has been suggested, a better way to defray cost might be to rent it out on a daily/weekend basis for longer test drives than would be available at your local store, King of Prussia.
Interesting premise though.
Thanks for comments
Fyi: search the TMC forums for "car sharing" and you might see similar initiatives being mentioned or planned.
"SHIFT" New LAS VEGAS app - Sends You a Tesla S or Bike In 5 Minutes:
I would go with four three month leases where the lessee controls the car for three months straight. Many less handoffs to worry about and that gives 9 straight months of ice time on another lease. Just a thought.
How would the insurance work? Three or four month lease would be more attractive to me.

From the Publisher"This collection offers some hugely stimulating insights… and in the process, unashamedly puts the emphasis where it now needs to be: we now know (more or less) what we need to do to secure a sustainable world, but how the hell are we going to do it?"
Jonathon Porritt CBE, Chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission
"This smart and erudite collection problematizes 'environmental governance' and 'sustainability.' By identifying the multiple approaches to these key terms, the authors advance our collective efforts at refining the concepts and ultimately achieving sustainability."
Peter M. Haas, University of Massachusetts
"Neil Adger and Andrew Jordan have brought together an outstanding set of authors who offer an excellent overview of governance and sustainable development. This is an important book for all scholars interested in our common future."
Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University
"Our understandings of citizenship, governance, and government have evolved with the rise of understanding in ecological complexity, the desire for sustainability, and the contradictory but parallel rise of market ideology. All will continue to change with the demise of market fundamentalism, rise of pragmatism, and renewed faith in government. Governing Sustainability deeply explores the past and helps prepare us to both design and adapt with the future."
Richard B. Norgaard, University of California, Berkeley

All linens are included. There is an attached two-car garage.
Our property managers live down the street.
This home is absolutely beautiful and well detailed. The view was spectacular with amazing sunsets! The home was well stocked with kitchen basics and we enjoyed the open concept of living room and kitchen areas. The pool table in the loft was an added bonus! We loved the master bedroom with on suite bathroom and sitting area! Washer, dryer, wireless internet made our stay easier! A bit remote but worth it for the peaceful surroundings!
We stayed for two weeks at this property and didn't want to leave! It exceeded our expectations. The house is immaculate. It is comfortably furnished and has nice updates to the kitchen and baths. We especially enjoyed the water views with sun filtering through the trees in the mornings and some of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see in the evenings! This mid-coast region of Maine has so many things to see and do and the house is central to most of them. We look forward to another time at "Nana's Way".
What a find! Rarely do I ever get round to actually writing reviews but feel I must for this place. We stayed in Nana's Way for a week as part of our 3 week trip from the UK and it was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Within an hour we were stunned by fantastic close up views of bald eagle and osprey. There were hummingbirds at the bird feeder, frogs on the lawn, wild turkey in the woods and a seal that bobbed just off the dock at high tide (not to mention lots more wonderful birdlife!). Our six year old son loved our daily canoe trips out on the river as well as numerous games of pool. The house was immaculate and photos could never do it justice. It was fantastically clean and felt/smelt fresh and new. The owners were great in all our contact with them and the next door neighbour very friendly and helpful. The area had loads to offer (when we eventually tore ourselves away from the house!). On the day it rained we visited the excellent museum in Augusta. We walked local trails bursting with wildlife, went whale and seal watching and visited Boothbay and other nearby towns. We very much hope to come back some day soon (although we might be fighting off all our friends that we have told about it)!
Our holiday was a last minute decision but our choice did not disappoint. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating during the booking process.
The house is lovely and the setting spectacular. We had a wonderful week relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying the canoes on the water. There was an abundance of wildlife including osprey, humming birds and an inquisitive seal. The views from the house are stunning with many opportunities for amazing sunset photos. The whole experience gave us a holiday to remember and one we would love to revisit.

On Wednesday, December 12, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a joint U.S. Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) and Investment Company Institute (ICI) lawsuit against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) alleging that the CFTC violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) in adopting amendments to CFTC Rule 4.5 earlier this year. In the court's opinion, the CFTC acted well within its discretion and "there was nothing arbitrary or capricious about the CFTC's actions in promulgating" the amendments to the rule.
CFTC Rule 4.5 excludes advisers of investment companies, that are registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (RICs), from commodity pool operator (CPO) status. Previously, CFTC Rule 4.5 afforded a blanket exclusion to RIC advisers. However, last February, the CFTC adopted final rules to, among other things, amend CFTC Rule 4.5 to include de minimis commodity interest (i.e., futures, options and swaps) trading thresholds. Pursuant to the final rules, the relevant RIC's commodity interest trading must fall below the specified thresholds for the adviser to the RIC to qualify for the CFTC Rule 4.5 exclusion from the definition of CPO. Advisers to RICs that cannot satisfy the de minimis thresholds must register as CPOs as of December 31, 2012, unless they are eligible for alternative relief.
The Chamber and the ICI challenged the CFTC's amendments to CFTC Rule 4.5 arguing that, among other things, (1) such amendments were "arbitrary and capricious" because the CFTC failed to consider their necessity, and (2) the CFTC failed to perform an adequate cost-benefit analysis with respect to the amendments, as required by the APA. However, the court was unpersuaded by these arguments and determined not to disturb the amendments to CFTC Rule 4.5. The Chamber and the ICI are currently reviewing the court's opinion and considering their options with respect to the lawsuit.

LIMA — State wildlife officers were investigating the death of 6,159 fish that was discovered during the weekend in the Little Ottawa River.
Officers from the Ohio Division of Wildlife were called in to investigate a number of dead fish found near the intersection of Breese and McClain roads, said Paul Kurfis, the law supervisor for the division.
The investigation showed rain washed turkey manure that was spread on a field July 31 into the creek, Kurfis said.
The owner of the farm field hired a private contractor to spread the manure, which was followed by rain, he said.
Officers tracked the kill zone in the creek along an 8.8-mile stretch of the Little Ottawa River that connects to the Ottawa River, Kurfis said.
The dead fish included sucker fish, largemouth bass, sunfish, bullhead and darter. The fish have a value of nearly $1,800, Kurfis said.
Manure depletes oxygen in the water killing fish.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency was notified of the incident and could sanction responsible parties, Kurfis said.
During the investigation, officers also found another nearby field where horse manure was washed into the stream but only a small amount, Kurfis said.

15 months after release, the genesis wardrobe is pretty bare as far as clothing you could wear to the office (or to the mall).
Well V4 has yet to have an outfit that shecould wear in an office without being sent home without pay. How long has she been out?
Why's that? Because people aren't going to buy it; so those types of outfits aren't being made.
Check PoserWorld. Lots of decent stuff for V3-V4, ditto M3-M4.

A Good Route from London Gatwick
EasyJet flies from Gatwick into both Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate airports and at certain times of the year, these flights are extremely cheap. I flew into Linate and from there, an airport bus takes you to Milan Central Station where you can catch a train direct to Como. The train journey takes about 40 minutes.
Boats on the Lake
Regular ferries depart from the Como quayside and make stops at various towns on the Lake. Some boats are faster than others but all are large and comfortable. Tickets can be purchased at the kiosk beside the jetty.
Many of the tourist excursion trips only run in the height of the season but the regular services are just as much fun and by using them, you can set your itinerary to your own pace.
boat trips on Lake Como
Regular ferries (mostly taking just passengers, but there are some which carry cars) connect many of the main towns along the lake, and as well as providing necessary transport for many locals, these can also be pleasant if you wish to see the lake from a different perspective. There are also many boat rides catering just for tourists, but these often don't venture all the way up the lake. Info about pleasure cruises can be found at www.navigazionelaghi.it/italia/navicomo/Crocierecomo/crocierenlc04.htm.
The ticket office in Como is on the lakefront by Piazza Cavour, and they will be happy to give you information about any type of boat trip.Related to:
- Cruise
- Sailing and Boating
From Como you can take the funicular up to the village Brunate. Brunate is situated at 715 metres above sea level and from here you have a great view and here are also some nice walks beginning.
The funicular between Como and Brunate opened already in 1894. It runs from early in the morning, 6.00 to late at night 22.30 (midnight in summertime) and during the day it runs every 15 minutes or 30 minutes. The ride takes only 7 minutes. I bought a return ticket for 4.35 Euro (February 2009).
The funicular station is at Piazza Alcide de Gasperi 4.Related to:

Como train ticket office
Weeks before my holiday i plan train, bus, and ferry times and connections on this 21 day trip across europe everything was perfect except for Como train ticket office. The day before travel i went to ticket office and was told no train connection at 0816 to Freiburg im breisqau. The next morning different staff, i asked again same story, said i could take 1008 via Basle, take bus to Basle BAD then train. Arriving at Basle off the 1008, i noticed a Freiburg train on the boards, going to the platform i asked the helpful train lady if my ticket was for this train,yes get onboard she said. How is it that Como did not know about this train? On arriving back home i checked my internet information and it was correct.
Funivia to Brunate
I took this picture from the lakeshore at Como, using my huge camera objectiv, right in the moment when two gondolas were one close to another. The ride to the top of Brunate must be very interesting, I suppose it.Related to:

Funivia to Brunate
Brunate is location on the top of the hill above the city of Como. Unfortunatelly, I hadn't time to visit it but am sure the view over the lake must be spectacular from above. The incision, you see on tjis picture, is where the funivia to Brunate is located.Related to:

How to find the stadium
Finding the football stadium in Como is easy. So easy that even I found it on my first try! :)
If you come to Como with train, you have two possibilities, although there are four different stations.
Choose preferable the biggest one, the one in the central parts of the city; Como S. Giovanni.
When you get out of the station, just pass the small street, and walk down the stairs. When you reach the first bigger street, you take to the left, and then just follow that street, a bit to the right when it gets divided in the end.
After 8-10 minutes of walk you'll be outside the stadium.
Trains goes often to Como from Milano, every hour from Cadorna station (the second biggest one). And also from the central station. But you should really check the traintable for the return to Milano, as there are not trains leaving that late. If Como plays at night, with match kick off at 20.30, you'll have to leave in the middle of the second half to not miss the last train.
By car I advice you to park in the central parts of the town, and then walk to the stadium from there. I haven't seen any big parking-places close to the stadium.
From Swiss Border to Slovenian Border
It is a handy tip for those who are travelling from Switzerland to Slovenia via transiting Italy.
They can travel by any night (or day trains) to Italian border city of Como and the train station is called Como S. Giovanni. Then catch a train to Milano Centrale and from there catch another train going toward Venezia (Venice) continue in the same train after Venice till Monfalcone. It is a Italian border town with Slovenia. Here you can cross the border and then catch another train to anywhere in Slovenia especially to Ljubljana.

faster, more expensive trains
Como is also on the train route connecting Milan with Switzerland, France, Germany and many other parts of northern Europe.
These trains arrive at Como San Giovanni station at Piazzale San Gottardo to the west of the town. It's less convenient on foot but there are always taxis waiting.
There are different types of train on this line:
* Regional trains depart from Stazione Garibaldi in Milan, they take exactly an hour and cost 3 euros 30 like the Ferrovie Nord trains to Como Nord Lago station (see other train tip).
* InterCity trains generally take 35-40 minutes, depart from Milano Centrale, and cost 4 euros 85.
* Express trains take 40 minutes and depart from Milano Centrale, and cost 3 euros 30.
* Cisalpino trains depart from Milano Centrale, take 30-35 minutes and may require a supplemental payment.

slower, cheaper trains from Milan
There are 2 main train lines connecting Milan and Como, run by different companies. The Ferrovie Nord departs from Cadorna station in Milan, and arrives in Como Nord Lago station by the lake, very few minutes by foot from the cathedral and centre of town.
This is the regional train company and the trip takes longer as the trains often stop at most of the provincial stations. However it is relatively cheap (around 3 euros 30 for a single ticket) and provides a relaxed view of the countryside.
Trains run twice hourly; first and last trains from Milan depart at 6.13 am and 9.13 pm, whilst from Como they depart at 5.45 am and 21.15 pm.Related to:

Bussing it
The bus services in Como aren't bad, although they tend to finish rather early (often around 9pm). Tickets (biglietti) for transport within the town limits can be purchased at most newspaper kiosks and tobacconists (NOT on the bus), whereas tickets for transport to other towns, the bus station itself is yout best bet.
