Knitting Needles
The principle underlying knitting is simple: You use two pointed sticks to pull loops of string through one another. But which sticks -- or needles, as we like to call them -- you use has a profound impact on the finished project and your knitting experience as a whole.
A Little Background
Knitting needles are generally divided into three types: straight (with one pointed end), circular (with two needles connected by a nylon string), and double-pointed. Each has its purpose, which we'll discuss -- category by category and vendor by vendor -- throughout this month.
Needles come in thicknesses from 0.75mm to 25mm. Most commonly you'll find needles also marked with U.S. sizes that correspond to the metric numbers, but there are also U.K. sizes as well.
To make matters even more confusing, various manufacturers use different metric equivalents for U.S. sizes.
Get Your Gauge
Therefore, the first thing you'll want to buy is a gauge card. These are usually made of plastic or metal, and they have holes punched in them that correspond to the standard metric sizes, with the U.S. equivalent for each size.
You'll learn to rely on this essential tool, especially when the needle sizes rub off your needles.
Varying Materials
Needles are made of several types of materials. The most common are aluminum, nickel-plated aluminum, bamboo, birch, walnut, ebony, a milk protein called casein, and various plastics.
Don't let anyone tell you there are "right" needles and "wrong" needles. Which type you use is entirely up to you.
Here's a brief overview of the most popular needle materials on the market today.
Benefits: Lightweight, quiet, feel warm in your hands; slightly rough surface adds friction when knitting so you work more slowly and precisely, which is good for beginners or advanced knitters working on complex patterns.
Drawbacks: Can be harder to locate and relatively pricey, especially those made of more rare woods; may break or splinter; some people don't like the slower knitting experience.
Benefits: Similar to wood needles, these are also lightweight and quiet; they feel warm in your hands and develop a beautiful patina over time; they are easily available in most shops; surface friction also slows your knitting speed slightly.
Drawbacks: Similar to wood needles, these can break or splinter at the tips, and many people don't enjoy the stronger grip these have on yarns.
Benefits: Easily available in mainstream craft shops; inexpensive; smooth surface allows you to knit very quickly with minimum resistance.
Drawbacks: They make clickety-clack sounds while you knit, making it difficult to knit unobtrusively in public; surface can scratch and develop rust over time; the metal can feel cool and unyielding, which some knitters -- especially those with arthritis or carpal-tunnel syndrome -- find unpleasant.
Nickel and nickel-plated aluminum
Benefits: The nickel plating makes the surface even smoother than aluminum, which translates into speedy knitting; extremely lightweight.
Drawbacks: Can be expensive; they make noise while knitting; and, as with standard aluminum, the unyielding nature of the metal can be bothersome for people with arthritis or sensitive hands.
Swallow Casein
Benefits: Ideal for knitters seeking a total organic experience, these are made of a natural, nontoxic milk protein; they are available in a full range of colors including bright pearlescent pastels and classic tortoise-shell patterns; they feel warm in your hands; their surface is smoother than wood but not quite as slippery as aluminum; they bend and flex gently and offer a quiet knitting experience.
Drawbacks: Even though they are made of totally organic materials, Swallow casein needles can look plasticky and artificial; because they are only manufactured by one company, availability can be limited.
Benefits: Bryspun flexible knitting needles are made of a special plastic and are very popular for knitters with arthritis; they are warm and smooth to the touch.
Drawbacks: Many people find their grey color and plastic texture too bland; not every yarn shop carries them, so you may have to order online.
Pony Pearls
Benefits: Made of cellulose acetate, these needles come in a wide range of bright, cheerful colors and have a moderately smooth surface for quick knitting.
Drawbacks: Sizes 0-8 are reinforced with steel wire, which can jangle around inside the needle while you're using it -- I found this quite distracting; they aren't as flexible as Bryspun but have more visual appeal.
As you see, each needle type feels different in your hands. That's why it is so important to try them all. Don't let one pair of disagreeable needles taint your knitting experience.
One Isn't Enough
A common misconception is that you'll only need one pair of needles in each size. The truth is, you can never have too many duplicate sets of needles. Not only do needles have a habit of disappearing, but they also like to stay in unfinished projects.
If you like to work on more than one project at a time, or if you like the freedom of being able to sort through your stash and begin a project at 3am, you'll need lots of available needles.
Party Politics
Because they spend so much time in your hands, needles can quickly become as cherished as your favorite pen or piece of jewelry. Many knitters, once set on a favorite needle type, will defend it with the same vigor usually reserved for religious or political debates.
Some will touch nothing but birch, others cry, "Give me bamboo or give me death!" And many nickel-plated aluminium fans would rather switch to decaf than use any other type of needle.
You may find that you prefer several types of needles depending on your project. For example, bamboo when you want to slow down your knitting, and aluminum when you want to speed it up.
Staying on the Sidelines
If you're just entering the knitting world, it's easy to be swayed by one party over the other -- especially if that party happens to control the needle stock at your local shop.
If that's the case, it's OK to begin with those needles. But don't be afraid to visit other shops or order a few pairs online. They'll ship in plain-brown wrapping so your local shop will never know!

"Your article was great. Thank you! I started out on aluminum needles. They are so slippery it made learning a challenge! I hate plastic needles because they grab too much. Now I am using Swallow Casein needles. They are a nice middle ground. Grab a little but still nice and smooth. The pearlized colors are great and I have to admit that was the sole reason I bought my first 4 pair. I find I don't like how flexible the long single points are. Because I am currently doing a lot of baby clothes right now I bought every size available of the 9" double point 5 needle sets. Love 'em! I too was warned about critters but my cats gave them a cursory sniff and walked away. Just to be safe though I keep them out of reach. One thing nobody ever mentions is that these needles have a strong chemically smell. Especially if they get wet (sweaty hands). I am a little concerned that the yaren will pick up the smell. Based on your article I suspect I won't like wood or bamboo needles because I don't like grab. Nevertheless I will try them because I'm just too curious not to. Besides... every needle/yarn combination is slightly different and as they say... variety is the spice of life! Happy knitting everyone!" Lisa, 9/7/2002
"In regards to your comments about aluminum knitting needles. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal and therefore it does not rust as stated in your drawbacks." patsmith, 8/3/2001
"Great article! I just want to add that I always had trouble with gage until I discovered wood needles. With wood my gage is always right on. I've recently discovered the wicked extravegance of rosewood. What a wonderful feeling in your hands! Love your site, keep up the good work!" sjdtravelers, 8/27/2001
"You might add the Balene needles to the review. These are also casein needles. They had the most wonderful concave point and many knitters really loved them. The problems I had with them were breakage and bending. Living in a damp climate was enough to put a bend in some of my needles.
I normally use Inox, but have been using the Swallows on a project. I do like the feel of them, but the points are a bit blunter than I normally like. I've also been using the Regia double points, which are like the Inox double points. They come with wonderful sock shaped point protectors. Makes me smile every time I look at them.
Needles are your main tool and are a very personal choice. Don't let anyone tell you what kind of needle to use--always try them to see what works best for you." teri, 11/27/01
"I am happy that someone who's not out to sell them is doing a review of knitting needles. I have just one negative comment. You mentioned that aluminum needles can chip and develop rust. Not so. Aluminum doesn't rust. I do have some very old (pre-WWII ?), very fine double-pointed STEEL needles that have rust. But, as was once done with rusted sewing needles, the rust can be removed and the needles used.
My own personal favorite needles are the Boye or Bates colored aluminum needles. I have and use many other kinds of needles but still feel happiest using the same kind as the first pair I bought at Woolworth's as a child." jessica-jean, 5/15/01
"Enjoyed your needle article and the many comments made by your readers. I like many knitters use different needles based upon the project. One thing that I'd like to mention is that gauge can change (at least for me) depending on the material of the needle. That means a size 6 in bamboo will give me a different gauge than a metal size 6. My metal needles knit tighter. Anyone else experience this penomena?" uyvonne, 4/19/01
"The articles about needles are very helpful. I just got my first Addi Turbos. One pair straight and one circular. The straights are a bit heavy with the knitted fabric on them but the feel is great. Also got size 5 Pony Pearl dp's which I am using for stuffed mittens. I love it that a set is 5 not 4, and they have a nice balance. The work stays on the needles while in the knitting bag, which I can't say for all dp's. I'd have bought them even if they weren't bright orange." cphague, 4/16/01
"Which needles I use has more to do with what I am making. If I need dps then I like wood or bamboo like for socks and such. The dps have a tendency to fall out easy so the wood or bamboo stay in better. For circular I like the Inox Express, although I did recently buy a pair of Addi-turbos. I chose Inox because Addi's are usually too expensive. They are much faster and with circular knitting you don't have to worry about them sliding out as much. I had a pair of casein swallow straights that I loved for my dishcloths and the like, but some how one got broke and I can't find any to replace it. They are hard to find, but they do have a wonderful feel and are easy to use. I have ordered some Bryspun, but as yet have not used them. I will let you know." knithappy, 4/09/01
"Great article on needles! I just want to add that of the two kinds of bamboo needles I have found, the Addi-Naturas are much smoother between the needles and the plastic shaft. It's very annoying to have to work hard to push my stitches over that rough spot. The other brand I have tried is Crystal Palace, which is not as smooth at the join. I also just broke a pair of size 3 CP needles. They broke at the join, I was using a fairly tight gauge, but they're sort of expensive ($11) and I would like for them to last through more than 1 or 2 sweaters. I haven't used the Addi-Naturas long enough to know if they're stronger. Maybe bamboo is just prone to breaking in the smaller sizes?" Judy, 4/07/01
"Inox Express circulars-couldn't live without em'. My fingers fly with these needles. They're the best for Fair Isle projects, the stitches slide so smoothly down the needle with an even tension." neko, 4/06/01
"The needle article was very informative. I have been knitting for three years and love to collect different needles to try. I display them in my living room along with baskets of yarn. The needles sit in old pitchers and urns with circles of felt inside the bottoms to protect the tips. Everyone visiting makes very positive comments. My suggestion is to let everyone you know aware that you knit and would appreciate needles. You will be surprised by how many special gifts you get. It is so much fun to have someone pass along their grandma's needles when they know you will cherish them. Also, I haunt garage sales and thrift stores. I have found the most unique needles that way for pennies. Thanks again for the Newsletter!!" Missizzy, 4/06/01
"Wonderful article. Lots of basic knowledge that even long time knitters can learn from. And at last some reasons my DH can understand about why I need more than one set of needles in each size." terrileemp, 4/06/01
"I've knitted for thirty years without knowing there were so many kinds of needles--I'll keep my eyes more alert when I visit knitting shops. But I'm also absolutely committed to circular needles, even for 'flat' knitting, because they don't slide out and drop on the floor (especially useful in the car, on a plane, or in a concert or lecture hall!). It takes a few minutes to learn to manage the 'spring' of them, but I would urge anyone who hasn't used a circular needle on flat knitting to give it a try." Patricia, 4/06/01
"What a timely article. Although a long time knitter, I am just finding out that there is more than plastic, aluminium, and bamboo. I never realized they could make a differnce to the knitting experience and anxiously await your articles on specific types/brands." beemrlady, 4/06/01
"There are some beautiful hand painted needles and ones with decorative ends/knobs on different Websites. I love knitting with needles that are pretty as well as functional." panky51writer, 4/06/01
"Great needle overview! I am one of those knitters that picks the needle type to fit the type of knitting I am doing - and have all kinds of needles. You may also want to include some of the vintage needles which are now available through online auctions like eBay, Yahoo, etc. I have found that ivory is incredible for knitting those complex lace shawls, and the Bernat Aeros make a great overall needle choice as they are coated metal (not so much noise and chill but still good speed). I enjoy your weekly review. Keep up the good work." Melinda, 4/06/01
Excellent feedback! I will include info on older, more rare needles in the final week of April. Thanks for the kind words, everyone! - Clara
"I also enjoyed this article. One thing I've heard about swallow casein needles is because they are made of milk products, critters are often drawn irresistably to them. Anyone have any experience with this? I've picked them up to buy, then put them back several times because of this! Am I being overly paranoid?" itsajok, 4/06/01
"I found your article on knitting needles very interesting. I had a complete set of circular swallow casein needles but they didn't last long--the reason? My pets found them absolutely delicious and many a morning I woke up to find my knitting at my bedside and the needles eaten off. I assume it is because of the mild content." fmarrs, 4/07/01
"This was a wonderful, unbiased article. It would have been very easy to let personal bias into this piece, but you avoided it! It definitely whets the appetite to try some different needles." jcfdoldmedic, 4/05/01
"I live in a fairly small town and there is no specialty knitting shop here, so when I needed really thick needles to knit something that was going to be felted I found some dowels at the lumber yard, cut them into the right length, sanded them and shaped the ends into points - they worked great and were really inexpensive!" Ilse, 4/05/01
"Thanks for the info. I don't think I have ever had anyone explain the differences so well. And yes, I do have some I love and some I hate. I don't like the noisy aluminum ones but have used them when needed. I have some old "plastic??" crochet hooks from my grandmother that I wouldn't trade for the world. I didn't think about the warmth of them being an element of the pleasure of using them." newmoon, 4/05/01
"My needle of choice is thed Addi-Turbo circular needles. I use them for all my projects and, like you say, have more than one of each size. A knitter with more than one project on the go needs lots of needles." margdavis, 4/05/01
"I have a pair of yellow see-through knitting needles that have a red heart on the ends, that signifes the number. They were my mother's, who was an avid knitter. Were they from the Red Heart yarn people, or do you know their origin?" Etta H., 4/05/01
I don't know the history of these needles -- does anyone else? If you do, let me know and I'll post it here! - Clara
"Last week I saw a set of needles on ebay that had red hearts on the ends. They were noted as being from Ireland. Perhaps thats where these needles were from." Clare, 4/06/01
"I've read and heard that metal needles make a noise when used, but neither my addi Turbo circulars nor my beloved Inox double points make any noise... and I have sensitive hearing. (Though my needles' being quiet is consistent with my general personality trait of being a bit odd. Apparently my 'mileage really does vary' from that of others!)" Laura, 4/05/01
"Very interesting and informative article. My favorite needles are bamboo. There are times I use another type depending on the yarn and the project. Love your newsletter." J.T., 4/05/01
"This was my first newsletter and I enjoyed the article on needles. I am one of those people who have lots of the same size needles, most of them in unfinished projects. One of my constant New Year's resolutions--finish the unfinished!" gerryquig, 4/05/01
"I do not knit by hand to much now, because the machine is much faster. But, once in a while, especially when I go on long vacations to visit my daughter, I take my aluminum needles, 3mm. They are from England and they've been with me for the last 20 something years, and I love them. Usually I make one sweater. The rest of the time they rest in a drawer out of sight." Ellkeb, 4/05/01
"Thank you! Great article. I am just starting to branch out and try new needles. I really needed an explanation of some of the different types. I have seen them in the stores and online, but having no reference, was afraid to try some of them. Now I can judge for myself based the pros and cons." cairn65, 4/05/01
"I wasn't aware that there were so many different types of needles. I would really like to find some bamboo needles. this was a very informative article. Looking forward to the ones coming up. Thanks." Frances, 4/05/01
"This was an excellent article! I'm a 'once-in-a-while' kind of knitter and had never given much thought to the type of needles I used. This has been extremely helpful and I'm now anxious to try out various types of needles." Lynne, 4/05/01

[2] Alternate lyrics.
Notes: Trey performed "Ray Dawn Balloon" and "Bathtub Gin" solo acoustic. "Moesha" contained the following added lyrics: "Moesha me down, Moesha me up, Moesha me Avalanche, Moesha me cup, Moesha me rocks, Moesha me red, Moesha me live, Moesha me dead, Moesha me straight, Moesha me gay, Moesha me Jerry, Moesha me Trey."
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Dave Grippo, Russell Remington, Jennifer Hartswick, Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis, Ray Paczkowski, Andy Moroz
I was excited and for this show. It turned out to be one of the best of the tour. The opener Mozambique featured a dancing line of horns who one-by-one took their solo amid a rocking instrumental package Trey had developed. Phish played this in 1999 but TAB was taking it to a higher level. Cayman Review was funky and Calypso-y, while the Happy Coffee song was cool.
Then the repeats started up with Last Tube, my third in 3 shows but fast becoming a VERY danceable song, despite having lyrics that were completely impossible to understand, regardless of what state I was in. During this song I ventured down to the bathrooms on the side of the stage, picked up a poster from the table for the Berkeley show I missed, but the poster was too cool to pass up. As I headed up to our spot, I saw a guy painting on the side of the walkway, mixing paint together and shining a light on his art as he stared at the band for a moment, painted some and danced all the while. This was my first meeting with Scramble Campbell, he pointed me towards one of his business cards and I set off back to my seat. I was amazed at the art. I may have stood there for 10 minutes or so just marveling in what he was creating. Years later, he was a major contributor to my book PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish and part of the reason I got into the Phish fan and official art community.
Windora Bug was awesome to hear, with Tony Markellis singing the verses Mike Gordon once did in Albany on 9/8/00 when the song was debuted by Phish. With a tuba and much more instrumentation to the song, I again preferred the TAB version. Burlap Sack and Pumps, which I had seen in LA and Syracuse was cool, and nice because I missed it the night before while tending to Halley. Money Love and Change was much tighter this night as well. By now Pete and I were on the right side of the stage down low watching the band up close as Pete shouted to Trey as they headed into the backstage area for setbreak. That was cool.
Second set started out with a long and deep Sand that had a touch of rain as a storm blew over us. It didn't last very long and eventually hit Denver, which we had a great view of in the distance beyond the stage. As the lightning struck Denver, the band descended into a creepy tune, When. The alternate title to this song is 'Storm Drawing Near' and it was incredible to hear that line uttered as lightning struck in the distance. I was glad we didn't get wet and equally glad we got a cool memento like this song. A scorching Mr. Completely brought the house to their feet and pounded through an extended version of a rocking song with potential seeping all over. Then a treat for me: Gotta Jibboo! I love this song and definitely credit it for getting me further into Phish during the Summer of 2000.
In the excitement of the Jibboo, combined with my nervous habit of playing with a claddagh I got for my 21st birthday, I lost the ring as I threw my hands up into the air, excited for the song but immediately dreading what I had done. I put it out of my mind and danced a bit but had to search for it. Knowing it had probably bounced far, fallen into someone's bag or beer, or gotten stepped on, it was a lost cause. After the show Pete and his friend Marty helped me look for it around the area it would have been thrown, but it was no use, the ring was gone. Lesson learned - don't wear a ring to a concert.
I missed Nothing But a G Thing while I searched for my ring but stopped when the band left the stage, all but Trey that is. We got a brief story time from Trey about playing Red Rocks, an upcoming collaboration with Les Claypool called Oysterhead and a sampling of their work together with a new song, Radon Balloon. The lyrics were amazing and the first thing I listened to when I got home from tour:
"From an island, to the Tetons
To the day that came before
Drifting is a simple thing to do
To dance across the treetops with
Reflections in a spoon
In black and white or color
A step toward the craters on
The surface of the moon
Radon Balloon
In dreams he flies a tiny raft in a broken sky
Radon Balloon
Saw the sun in a chase to be
With the chosen one
Radon Balloon
Swung through town on a piece of twine
Radon Balloon
Disappeared a thousand times
Radon Balloon."
If this wasn't good enough, Trey moved into Bathtub Gin, all acoustic and alone, an amazing version to hear and take part in. The crowd took over the lyrics when we got to the 'Doooooo do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do" harmonies. Trey was laughing and played along, strumming the guitar in rhythm to our participation in the collective song. Trey left the stage and returned with the full band for an encore of Moesha, played the day before but this time with different lyrics at the end, with Trey singing "Moesha me Jerry, Moesha me Trey", much to the laughter and chagrin of the audience. We did a final sweep of the area for my ring and headed out to the car, a smile beaming across my face.

NEW MARTINSVILLE - Wahama senior Zack Wamsley is a man of few words, but when the White Falcons standout speaks, everyone listens.
"I wouldn't want the game in anybody's else's hands, but mine," Wamsley said following No. 3 Wahama's 10-7 victory over No. 2 Magnolia. "That's not to take anything away from my teammates, because we wouldn't have been in that position if it hadn't been for them.
"I just have that much faith in myself."

Magnolia's Jacob Brill breaks through the Wahama defense during their Class A semifinal game. The White Falcons won, 10-7
That faith paid off Saturday afternoon at Magnolia High School as Wamsley's 27-yard field goal with 25.3 seconds left in the game broke a 7-7 tie and returned the Mason Countians to the Class A championship game for the second time in three years with a 10-7 victory over the No. 2 Blue Eagles.
"To be honest, we haven't even given it (the championship game) any thought," said Wahama head coach Ed Cromley. "When you get to this stage, if you make the mistake of looking ahead, you're collecting uniforms on Monday."
Instead, Cromley and his White Falcons, who lost to Wheeling Central in the 2010 title game, will prepare to No. 4 Madonna, a 20-14 double-overtime winner over No. 1 Tucker County in Saturday's other semifinal.

"This is great, but it is especially great for our seniors," continued Cromley. "Trenton (Gibbs), Zack (Wamsley) and Crandale (Neal) have really dedicated themselves to this season and their leadership has been key to our team's success this year."
The trio, as well as junior running back Kane Roush, were key to the White Falcons' victory on Saturday.
Trailing 7-0 at the intermission, Wahama took the second half kickoff and needed only three plays to even the score when Gibbs, who completed both of his passes against the Blue Eagles, found a wide open Neal behind the Magnolia secondary for a 54-yard score with 10:50 showing on the third quarter clock.
Wamsley's PAT knotted the contest at seven and appeared as if it would be the final points of regulation until a fumble recovery by the visitors' Garrett Miller gave Wahama a first-and-10 at the White Falcons' 45.
Six runs and one 9-yard completion to Austin Cole later, Wahama found itself with a first-and-goal at the Blue Eagles' 9.
Back-to-back procedure calls, however, put the White Falcons at the 19 facing a first-and-goal with less than 90 seconds to play.
A 3-yard run by Neal and a 6-yard loss when Gibbs was sacked for the seventh time in the game, placed the Mason Countians in a third-and-long situation with 30 seconds remaining.
"At that point all we wanted to do was run a play and get as many yards as we could, but most importantly keep the ball in the middle of the field for Zack," said Wamsley.
A 12-yard run by Roush, who finished with 61 yards on 11 carries, did exactly that -placing the ball at the Magnolia 10.
Wamsley, who had hit on both his field goal attempts during the regular season, made the most of his shortened attempt, drilling the 27-yarder through the uprights for the winning points.
"We had all the faith in the world with him (Wamsley)," said Cromley. "He has hit them from 45 yards out in practice and his long is 35 yards, so we knew if we could get it off, he could hit it."
He did and then sophomore Timmy Gibbs recovered the ensuing kickoff to end any chance of a miracle finish by the Blue Eagles (11-2).
Defense wins championships and No. 2 Magnolia had its defense working on Saturday as the Blue Eagles limited Wahama to three first downs and only 14 total yards in the first 24 minutes to take a 7-0 lead to the locker rooms at the intermission.
Playing most of the opening half in the White Falcons' territory, Magnolia finally lit up the scoreboard when Tanner Hanna culminated a 9-play, 50-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge with 9:41 left in the second quarter. Clemens Raitmayr added the PAT and the Blue Eagles had the lead, 7-0.
Those would be the only points of the half as both prevent units came up with big plays.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Some first-place teams are more equal than others.
That's the answer to the question: "Daddy and mommy, what did we learn from this week's Bay Bridge Series?"
The A's are a good team, getting better. The Giants are a good team, still trying to figure out how to be a good team for more than a game or two (or inning or two) at a time.
Other than that, really, you can't draw many conclusions from the four games between our two local sides this week. Although for one team, it was more fun than the other.
"We got beat three out of four," said Giants catcher Buster Posey, who was on the team that had less fun. "That's the only conclusion to draw right now."
He's right, although fans will make many more assumptions from the 36 innings in which the A's outscored the Giants 19-7.
The A's definitely got a kick out of winning the series. But it was as much for their followers as anything else.
"As players, it's not a real ... you know, thing where we don't like them," said A's third baseman Josh Donaldson, speaking of the Giants. "But when both teams get on the field, we know how the fans feel about it. The energy in both ballparks, you feel it."
Right now, the Giants would like to feel more energy in their bats. Hard as it is to believe with their recent ugly downturn, they still aren't in a horrible spot going ahead. Their loss Thursday afternoon dropped them a half-game out of first place to Los Angeles -- it grew to a full game later when the Dodgers beat the Padres. But look at it this way: Last season, they had a 42-50 record after 92 games. This time at the same juncture, they are 50-42.
But are they actually playing better than a year ago at this time?
"Yes," Posey answered directly, when asked that direct question.
What the Giants need, more than anything, is three or more games in a row in which they score four or more runs. They haven't done that since mid-June. It has put too much pressure on their pitching staff and put too many zeros on the scoreboard.
Indicative: The series that began Monday night with the Giants' Hunter Pence fouling out to the catcher . . . ended with an instant replay decision on Gregor Blanco's nubber in front of the catcher and throw to first -- with the replay decision, naturally, going against the Giants.
In other words, the Giants' first and last outs of the series never traveled farther than a chip shot from home plate. The absence of Angel Pagan is a factor in the team's loss of pop. But sometimes, it can be an attitudinal approach.
It might be as simple as this: Through the early innings Thursday, as Giants starter Tim Hudson and A's starter Scott Kazmir were both working well and getting batters out, Donaldson said the A's dugout mood was that they would get to Hudson eventually, if they kept having quality at-bats. And that's what eventually occurred, even on a day when the Athletics' best player, Yoenis Cespedes, went 0 for 5.
But in the Giants dugout, whenever a batter had a potential hit snarfed up by a good A's fielding play, the body language spoke of frustration.
Bruce Bochy is keeping up his solid front. The Giants manager has seen much worse slumps over his years in the game. And he kept his sense of humor when a reporter asked if he thought about pinch hitting for Hudson in the fifth inning when the game was still tight. No way, the manager said.
"He hit one of the hardest balls we hit all day," Bochy mused.
And then he reminded everyone again that it's a long season.
The feeling here in April about the Giants -- and the feeling still -- is that no matter how things played out over the course of the long season, the National League West would come down to them and Dodgers in September.
The feeling here in April about the A's -- and the feeling still -- is that they are going to be a postseason team and will win the American League West if their starting pitching holds up.
Nothing that happened over the past four days changed any of that. The Bay Bridge Series was just a midterm exam for our local squads. But as the whooping and barking A's fans left AT&T Park and headed for BART trains back to the East Bay, while Giants fans walked quietly to the CalTrain station, there's no question which group liked its report card more than the other.

Houma man accused of killing big brother
Published: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
A 52-year-old Houma man admitted to shooting and killing his older brother early Sunday and has been charged with second-degree murder, authorities said.
William Fitzgerald Loring, of 5569 W. Park Ave., woke about 1 a.m. to 57-year-old Ricky Loring beating on his front door, wanting to fight, Terrebonne sheriff's Maj. Malcolm Wolfe said.
William said he and Ricky, of 302 Madewood Drive, had smoked crack cocaine together about 7 p.m. Saturday, Wolfe said. William said Ricky got angry after he refused to buy more drugs.
When William opened the door, Ricky rushed in, and William shot him dead with a handgun. William left the scene and went to a relative's home before calling the Sheriff's Office, Wolfe said. William later told police that he shot his brother "because he felt like Ricky was going to hurt him."
Ricky was declared dead at the scene about 3:02 a.m.
Both men have prior drug arrests, Wolfe said. William is being held in the Terrebonne Parish jail without bond.

4.5-8 Damages - Lost Profits
Revised to January 1, 2008
Any damages you award on the __ count
may include the plaintiff's lost profits. The plaintiff must prove that it is
reasonably certain that the plaintiff would have earned those profits but for
the defendant's breach. The plaintiff cannot recover for the mere possibility
of making a profit. In addition, the evidence must afford you a sufficient
basis for estimating the amount of lost profits with reasonable certainty.
[<If plaintiff also claims future
lost profits:> The plaintiff also claims lost profits for the future, until
<insert date>. That time period for awarding future lost profits must be
reasonable and supported by the evidence.]

of course, the military industrial complex certainly helps things along. but it's not the only factor here.

Ever wonder why the mass national actions on the anniversary of the invasion stopped happening in 2006? UFPJ.

You can't really stop the Capitalists from going to war till enough people are educated.
If the Military Industrial Complex and the international banking/investment elite (who's members are frequently Vice Presidents, Secretaries of Defense, and Secretaries of Treasury) decide that it's time to go to war then that's what's going to happen.
You can make it harder for them, and perhaps make the length of the war shorter, but most importantly, you stand in resistance and show that Capitalism will always lead to war. Every 10 years or less. You can set your watch by it. And that until we get a multi-party system, and eventually break Capitalism altogether, War for profit/resources/military dominance/diversion from financial depression at home, will never end.

also, i don't think you can say the US isn't a democracy, unless your concept of democracy is so extremely limited and specific that no country in the world qualifies. there are serious flaws in the system of course but this happens everywhere.

Financial control is simply a more sophisticated form of imperialism.
Charlie Foxtrot wrote: But isn't it a better system? Financial control, even if it entails overthrowing governments (Iran, Guatemala, etc.) is surely better than the kind of control we had before capitalism, which usually involved directly conquering other countries and then occupying them in perpetuity. I think of America as the first capitalist empire, which began after the Spanish-American war (the last time I can think of that we really made a grab for actual land). The dominance entailed by capitalism is incredibly horrible and destructive, but it seems better than the dominance entailed by other systems.

As authorities in Boston investigated deadly explosions near the finish line at the Boston Marathon, public safety officials in the Bay Area reacted with caution and urged the public to have a heightened sense of awareness.
In San Francisco, uniformed officers will be on a "heightened patrol alert," and an increased police presence would be noticeable at tourist spots and other areas that attract large crowds, according to a spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department.
"Everything we're doing is simply precautionary at this stage," said Officer Albie Esparza. "There is no information or any credible source that suggests anything is not safe here. But we are telling people they should be alert."
A similar warning was communicated by BART officials, who said they also will have heightened patrols on trains, as well as increased security.
Passengers "are gonna see more officers out there," BART spokesman Jim Allison said. "The other thing that's important is that if somebody sees something (unusual), they need to say something."
In Oakland, police said that there would be a "more visible presence than normal" at major sporting events Monday evening, with both the Oakland A's and Golden State Warriors playing home games.
"Certainly there is heightened awareness," said Bob Rose, spokesman for the Oakland A's. "We will continue our normal game-day security procedures, which include hand-checking all bags brought into the Coliseum. Beyond that, we are working with our in-house security and the Oakland police and reminding our game-day and full-time employees to be extra observant."
According to Raymond Ridder, vice president of communications for the Golden State Warriors, there would be no major changes to security for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
"As of now, there is nothing heightened planned for tonight, though that could change upon further discussion with the Oakland Police Department," Ridder said. "Pretty much every night, we have heightened security and have Magneto-Meters at every door. Those will be in place as they are for every game."
San Jose police put out a news release saying the department had no plans to change how it deploys its officers.
Safety officials at the Golden Gate Bridge were monitoring the situation and were on alert status, but the day was proceeding normally otherwise, said Mary Currie, the public affairs director of the Golden Gate District.
In Southern California, law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area stepped up patrols Monday in the wake of the Boston Marathon explosions.
L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca said his department was on "heightened alert" and had increased patrols at government buildings, shopping centers, athletic events and public transit centers.
Neither the county nor the city of Los Angeles had activated their emergency operations centers.
Boston police say at least three people were killed and dozens were hurt when a pair of bombs exploded near the marathon finish line.
Eric Hartley of the Daily News in Los Angeles and staff writers Natalie Neysa Alund and Erin Ivie contributed to this report.

"The Waiting Room," Bay Area filmmaker Peter Nicks searing cinematic portrait on what life is really like in the chaotically busy emergency room of Oakland's Highland Hospital, is one of five features vying for best documentary in the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards.
Nominees were announced Nov. 28.
The insightful, well-made "Waiting Room," takes a fly-on-the-wall approach to follow patients, doctors and nurses as they navigate their way through an overburdened health-care institution.
The heralded feature from the Emmy-winning Nicks faces formidable challenge from contenders in its category. They are: "How to Survive a Plague," chronicling the influential actions of two activist AIDS organizations; "The Central Park Five," a compelling Ken Burns film about an infamous New York rape case and the racism and injustice that followed; "The Invisible War," a damning portrait of how the military has failed to deal with sexual assaults from within its ranks and "The Artist is Present," which profiles provocative artist Marina Abramovic.
Founded in 1984, the Independent Spirit Awards celebrates artist-driven, independent filmmaking. Last year, the black-and-white silent film "The Artist" took top honors. It went on to win best picture at the Oscar.
Winners will be announced Jan. 12 in West Hollywood. The program will be televised Feb. 23 on IFC.

The Islander Athlete Mentors program is an academic year voluntary commitment for both Mentors and Mentees. Beginning at the start of each fall semester, mentors will be paired up with a mentee, who they will guide and support through their first academic year at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. In addition to the individual mentoring piece, IAM members also commit to participating in at least one community service project during the spring semester.
Description: Islander Athlete Mentors help mentees by answering questions, being a resource, solving problems and serving as student leaders. Mentors should foster progress in their mentees' adjustment to college life as a student-athlete, develop a lasting relationship with their mentee as well as other mentors and also act as a positive representation of Islander Athletics.
• Student-Athletes who are former Islander Athlete Mentees, Juniors, Seniors or Fifth Years (must attend entire academic year)
• Good communication skills
• Positive attitude about the University and its faculty, staff and students
• High standards of ethics and integrity
• Must be in good academic standing
Benefits of being a mentor:
• Experience a unique service opportunity
• Learn new leadership skills
• Obtain credentials for resume
• Being a role model for other student-athletes
• Option to obtain a certification as a Peer Educator
Description: Islander Athlete Mentees will have full access to ask questions and receive answers about the student-athlete experience at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. With the guidance of a mentor, mentees will progress as college students and individuals while adjusting to college life. Mentees will have the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with their mentor as well as other mentees and also act as a positive representation of Islander Athletics.
• Freshman or Transfer Student-Athletes
• Willing to grow as an individual
• Enthusiasm and desire to discover opportunities at the University from other student-athletes
Benefits of being a mentee:
• Relationships with other student-athletes at Texas A&M - Corpus Christi

• Connection to experienced upperclassmen to aid in the new student transition
• Opportunities to discover numerous campus and community activities and resources
Contract Agreements
All Mentors and Mentees must sign a contract agreement which upholds them to several commitments throughout the academic year. We ask that all Mentors and Mentees attend an IAM orientation session at the beginning of each semester, that they attend all training workshops associated with the program (meeting times and frequency vary each semester depending on the schedules of the participants), participate in at least one community service event as a group, they must maintain weekly contact with their assigned Mentor and/or Mentee, and they must uphold the standards of the IAM program. All student-athletes that volunteer for the program also must gain permission from their head coaches in order to participate.

A five-alarm fire destroyed a Civil War-era building Monday morning in Williamsport, displacing the building's residents and erasing more than a century of history. The fire, which caused an estimated $500,000 in damage, was caused by a mechanical failure in an oil-burning furnace. More than 20 fire companies responded to the 7:18 a.m. call. No one was injured in the blaze. The building sat on the historic town square in Williamsport and was the location of Wolfe's on the Square, a liquor and convenience store that operated in the town for decades.

2 The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday
1 Lawn Boy
1 The White Tape
Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1992 Fall Tour."
- Stash: This version gets peppy and light without losing its ominous edge.
- Bowie > I Walk the Line > Bowie: Amusing and strangely authentic Country Cactus interlude in the tease-heavy intro. Impressive thematically-oriented jamming. Then, it just suddenly comes to a stop with Trey announcing the set break. No trills (boo), but plenty of thrills.
- Chalkdust: A snarling fire puppy. Trey tears it a new one. Must. Hear.
- YEM: Simply glorious bliss section. Aggressive funk. Cool vocal jam.
- Hood: Brilliant version that somehow occupies sub-radar strata. Playfully creeping intro. Unique little piano variations from Page during the latter composed segment. Tantalizing build. Bubbly climax. You can feel good...and I'm a bit concerned about your Phish appreciation skills if you don't!
Well, since Trey said it was his new favorite, why not open with Axilla? Ok version, just a little rough. You can hear some laughing on stage between songs. Right into ATR which shows some rust but, otherwise good. Suzy is even a little rusty sounding from Page as they get settled in, and even sounds like they forgot to sing. Trey plays through right into a equally rusty Rift. The begining and end suffer the most. Sloth follows suit with the rusty sound as does Reba although, a good jam shows they are getting there. Sparkle is pretty standard. Stash sounds tentative at first but also has a great jam including Linus and Lucy from Mike and Trey which Page shuts down. Lizards is pretty good as they seem more warmed up now. Mike may have blown something on his amp as you can faintly hear a discussion on stage. Memories was cut from the recording as the taper might have shut it down or edited because of the low levels. So as Bowie starts, it is inexplicably stopped for another I Walk the Line. For the second show in a row this is a weird call for Mike. Maybe making fun of him for the equipment troubles. Bowie resumes and sounds like Trey is teasing No One to Depend on by Santana for Mike's amp perhaps? Bowie is unfinished and has an abrupt ending to it most likely due to the equipment failure. Average first set.
A decent Chalk Dust opens second set but has a rusty sounding ending from Trey. Fluffhead continues in that vein but is pretty good for not having played it in a while. Tube gets busted out for only the second time this year. The rust shows from Page. YEM also has a few rough parts but, the vocal jam is great. FEFY comes out for the second show in a row but, this time no pedal steel. Not bad with the original creepy fade-out ending. Dinner is nice to hear but is also rusty. Right into a Hood which has Mike sounding rusty at times. Nice Fishman section which actually has two songs tonight! A regular Terrapin and another brand new Lengthwise complete with audience sing along. Too funny! And then to end the show, kind of, the Dude of Life comes out to sing the fourth and last Self with the boys.
The official encores are missing from the recording I heard. I'm sure the levels for Adeline were suspect and maybe the taper just packed it in early. Oh, well...
Pretty good show but, very rusty playing. It might take a while to get back into form.
Ampersand does not come through on posts, so just replace each instance. Of course, without microphones, Sweet Adeline is barely audible, as is Memories, but GTBT rips, albeit a bit rusty ;p

A New Matamoras man accused of breaking into an unoccupied New Matamoras house and stealing and damaging around $4,500 worth of items was sentenced Tuesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court.
Mitchell L. Erb, 27, of 50810 State Route 7, was sentenced to 120 days in the Washington County Jail, but will be transfered to the SEPTA Correctional Facility after 60, ordered Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Ed Lane.
"You lose your job, you don't break into somebody's house and steal the plumbing out," he said.

New Matamoras resident Mitchell Erb, right, sits with attorney Ray Smith Tuesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court where he was sentenced to time in the Washington County Jail and the SEPTA Correctional Facility for a September breaking and entering in an unoccupied New Matamoras home.
The Marietta Times
Erb was one of three New Matamoras men implicated in the Sept. 23 break-in at the New Matamoras home and accused of stealing copper piping, tubing and wiring, collector bottles of alcohol and tools.
Chris T. Fluhart, 20, of 1308 Williamson Ave., and Paul W. Hendershot Jr., 21, of 40 Fourth St., were indicted last month on fifth-degree felony charges of theft and breaking and entering. They are both awaiting trial, said Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider.
Erb pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony count of breaking and entering on Feb. 14. At the same time, he pleaded guilty to assault, a first-degree misdemeanor, stemming from an Aug. 7, 2011 incident outside the Grandview Tavern, said Schneider.
"Another crime had happened about a year before this one when he took a wallet from a man in New Matamoras, but before we could go to trial he got sentenced to a year in jail in West Virginia on a misdemeanor charge," he said.
Erb had initially been indicted on a second-degree felony count of robbery in that incident, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge and spent 30 days in jail, said Schneider.
Asked to make a statement on his own behalf, Erb said, "No. I'm guilty, your honor. I'm not going to fight you guys."
Erb went on to say he is trying to get his life straightened out after a life in and out of the judicial system. The breaking and entering was committed two weeks after he was released from jail in West Virginia, he said.
"I'm a good-hearted person. I was being a follower, not a leader. I am a leader though," he said.
Erb asked Lane for the chance to participate in the SEPTA program, which offers drug counseling and teaches workforce skills. However, he said he would accept whatever punishment was doled out.
"You've got the sword," he told Lane.
Erb has been charged with previous felonies, but never convicted, so he is not eligible for a prison sentence, noted Lane. In addition to serving time in jail and at SEPTA, Erb will be on community control for five years and will be required to attend counseling at L&P Services following his release. If Erb violates community control he will be sent to prison for the maximum 12 months, said Lane.
Lane also ordered Erb to pay restitution in the amount of $4,500. However, it is possible Fluhart and Hendershot will be found liable, too.
for part of the restitution should they be found guilty.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012
MARTINEZ, Ga. -- It's been nearly four months since a Columbia County code enforcement officer made national headlines. He was fired for walking into a woman's home without permission.
Jimmy Vowell continues to fight to get his job back, and he's sitting down with News 12. Vowell says he wishes he could roll back the hands of time. He says being out of a job for the last four months has been tough.
He lost his job after he was caught on surveillance camera walking into a Martinez home uninvited.
"It's just been an exhausting four and half months," Vowell said.
In July, former Code Enforcement officer Vowell was serving a yard maintenance violation. When the door to the house swung open, Vowell says he thought someone was in trouble.
Turns out, the homeowner, Erica Masters, was asleep inside.
"I've lost a job that I love. I loved being a servant of Columbia County. I loved helping the people of Columbia County," Vowell said.
The county said he failed to follow policy by going in the home and made a false statement to a supervisor.
"I was criticized through the media and people's perception of what events took place, that's why I was thankful to get in front of a six-man panel," he said.
Last week Vowell and his attorney took his fight before the Columbia County Civil Service Commission, where they ruled in his favor saying, "After considerable and lengthy deliberation, we find that the termination was too severe. Given the circumstances of this case, we feel the action against you was too excessive."
"I was very humbled and thankful that that decision came as it did. I would have expected some sort of discipline to be handed down, that would have been a better pill to swallow than losing everything," Vowell said.
They added, "It is up to the county, but the Civil Service Commission recommends finding a position in another department and/or demotion."
"Where this leads, I don't really know," Vowell said.
On Tuesday, the Development Services Department Director appealed the decision from the civil commission, meaning the appeal will now head to the full county Board of Commissioners. They will now have the final say in the matter.
Vowell's attorney, Vic Hawk, says they are prepared to file a wrongful termination lawsuit against the county if it gets to that point.
We also heard from the homeowner. Masters says she still believes the termination was necessary. She tells us she plans to sue Columbia County, too, and may even file a civil suit against Vowell himself.

Does anyone know what the difference between these 2 commands are in terms of what they do considering both add windows features?
The "AS" is what I can't find online details on.
Add-WindowsFeature as-net-framework
The standard seems to be:
Add-WindowsFeature Net-Framework
Same command. Just different features being added. But sorry, no, I don't know the difference between those features. I'm not a huge .NET person.
Run Get-WindowsFeature as-net-framework and see if the full description of the feature isn't more helpful.
(this isnt really "add" vs "as" - you're using add-WindowsFeature either way)
Thanks, I looked at the results of Get-WindowsFeature as-net-framework and compared that to the Get-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core and the only output is the "name" and that just shows the 1st as being As-Net-Framework and the other is the Net-Framework-Core, but I don't see any difference in the actual features that get installed.
It looks like you can use the As- to install new features for several items aside from this, such as message queuing and so forth.
I'm still looking at what the difference is in terms of what gets added, the only thing I have found is that the "as-feature" is noted onlilne as being used when installing features for an application server, which doesn't make sense.
"as" means "application server." It's part of what supports IIS and other platforms.

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Mark 7:6 He (Jesus) replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions." (NIV)
Observation: Jesus was here speaking to people who had the talk, but not the walk. To listen to them talk, they were honoring God. But their actions told a different story. They knew all the prayers to pray and scriptures to quote at the appropriate time, but God was not honored in their daily lives. He was not honored in their heart.
Application: When I honor God from my heart, there is not one day in which I honor God more than any other day. (It is just as important to honor God on Wednesday as Saturday or Sunday.) There is not a job or assignment that I do for more God's glory than any other job or assignment. In serving my boss, or my family, or my customer, or the students on the school bus, I am really serving Jesus.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to honor God from my heart in everything I say and all I do, Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

EAGLE, Colorado - Soulemane Bibikari didn't know exactly what forms he filled out about 18 months ago - he just hoped those papers could help his family. Bibikari and his family Wednesday became the latest Habitat for Humanity family in the Vail Valley.
It was the Bibikaris' oldest child, daughter Kadia, who brought home that paperwork, which dad Soulemane filled out. It was only after Habitat for Humanity made a follow-up call that Soulemane realized his family had a chance to move from their apartment at the EagleBend complex in Avon into a home of their own.
The Bibikaris - Soulemane, mom Hawa and their five kids, put in more than 500 hours of volunteer labor on their home - a half-duplex in a seven-unit Habitat enclave on the west end of The Bluffs neighborhood in Eagle. Their unit is the biggest - five kids need a lot of room - and the next-to-last unit completed in the mini-neighborhood.
The family's work on their new home is just the start of their relationship with Habitat. Families buy their homes - with interest-free loans - and also agree to help other Habitat families, mostly by providing volunteer labor on future projects.
For Soulemane, a permanent home is just part of his American dream. The family came to this country from Senegal about a decade ago. For the last nine years, Soulemane has been on the banquet team at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Hawa joined the crew at the Hyatt about two years ago.
During the celebration, which packed the family's new living room, Hyatt general manager Robert Purdy praised by the Bibikaris and the entire team at the Hyatt.
"We've been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity for the last 15 years," Purdy said. "This year, our volunteer efforts had a special meaning... When we found out one of our families would get a Habitat home, our team volunteered 240 hours of labor."
It takes thousands of hours of volunteer labor to build a Habitat home. Brent Palmer, one of the local project managers, said it takes about nine months to build one of Habitat's "simple, decent and affordable" homes. With the exception of work that licensed professionals need to do - including electricity and plumbing - volunteer labor builds virtually all of those homes.
Now in their new home, the Bibikaris were all smiles Wednesday, with a home full of old and new friends, and pots of food simmering on the new range.
"This is very exciting," said son Aboul, the middle kid in the family.
Soulemane speaks only halting English, but was clear in his gratitude for the opportunity provided by these volunteers, and his adopted homeland.
"I'm going to live here forever," he said.

Summit High's Hailey Wyatt took 17th of 22 divers at Saturday's state swim and dive meet in Thornton.
Wyatt was the only Summit High representative at the competition, after qualifying for state at the Western Slope Conference Championships by .30 points.
"She didn't do as well as she wanted to, but I don't think she expected the level of competition that was there," dive coach Joe Baldwin said, explaining that she was among the top divers in the 4A division across the state.
He said she wanted to make finals. She missed making the cut of 16 divers by .25 points.
Wyatt thrived off the pressure, though, the coach said.
"She knew what she had to do, and she executed really well," Baldwin said, adding that because of Wyatt's dive rotation, she wasn't able to do her top three dives - the back somersault one-and-a-half twist, the inward one-and-a-half pike and the front double pike, which is arguably her best.
"It was really great for her to see the type of competition that's out there," Baldwin said. "They were doing some good dives, and doing them well."
Meet results weren't available as of press time.
