We clearly love socks here, but some socks (and accessories!) we love more than others. "Dreamers Recommend" highlights the current favorite style of our Sock Dreamers.
Dreamer names: Jess & Rosalind
Current favourite style: Double Grip Clips (they both love these and rock them in different ways and have even made a gallery of Double Grip Clip uses on our Facebook!)
Did you like this item when we first started carrying it, or did you hate it and grow to love it?
Jess: I was intrigued by a garter style that had no waistband and no leg-pinching tightness, but wasn't quite sure how to use them. I noted the product description's caveat about "skirt lifters," though, and tucked it away in the back of my mind until the day I wore a floor-length skirt to work. The skirt kept getting caught in the wheels of my chair all morning, until finally I broke down and bought two pairs of black clips from our warehouse stock to serve as skirt lifters out of sheer necessity. The effect was instantly AWESOME, both for convenience and style, and I've been using them on all of my longer skirts since then!
Rosalind: I was immediately intrigued by the open-ended nature of their design, but after I got a pair it took me a while to figure out the best way to use them.
What is the best thing about this particular style?
Jess: They're so versatile! They add a visual lure to even the plainest of black skirts, and you can mix and match clip colors, adjust the length of the clips, or layer several lifts at once for volume. I especially love just lifting the front of my skirts (so I can show off my socks!) and letting them fall naturally in the back. I've also used these clips as regular garters to hold up my Super Long Ribbed Leg Warmers, and a single clip will stylishly hold a cardigan closed (thanks for the tip, Laurel!). They're handy to have around!
Rosalind: They're clever, and possibly a little bit sneaky. When worn with a short skirt or shorts, they peek out to lend that old fashioned garter belt look, but they're much more simple, versatile, and hot weather friendly than a real garter belt.
How's the fit?
Jess: These aren't technically "fitted," but the adjustable length is really useful. If I'm wearing a longer top, I'll lengthen the clips' elastic fully so they'll still show; if I want a higher skirt lift, I shorten the clips up a couple inches. The elastic is stretchy enough to have a bit of give (so they won't tear your skirts if they get caught on something), but won't stretch out unnecessarily.
Rosalind: They don't need to go around any part of you, so they can fit anyone. Their length is adjustable for different sock heights. Sometimes if I wear them with really tall socks they're a little long, even at their shortest, but I just fold the sock over at the top to get the right height.
Who would you recommend this style for?
Jess: Everyone! They're great for costumes (Victorian, steampunk, Ren Faire, etc.), but they've already become a staple to my everyday aesthetic, as the Dreamers can attest. 😉 They'd be especially useful to anyone who's looking to avoid the possible pinch of a garter belt, or someone who'd rather have their garter clips on the sides instead of the backs of their legs—you can clip these anywhere, so they're a perfect starter-garter!
Rosalind: Anyone who is looking for a good anti-gravity wwwice for stockings, or whatever else you can think of holding up or together with them.
Anything else?
Jess: If you're looking to add some texture, volume, and flair to your wardrobe, or if you want to show off your socks even in your longest skirt, pick up a pair or two of Double Grip Clips! You won't regret it.
Rosalind: My favourite use of them is with pocketed skirts/shorts/dresses. That way you can clip them to the pocket underneath. Of course, if you have a very loose or stretchy waistband, you might want to try this out at home before you risk losing your pants in public. More secure waistbands, such as on jean skirts or shorts are best.
Around Valentine's day interest in classic stocking styles sparks. Backseams are a classic, but the cuban heel adds a pin-up touch to the already timeless look of nylons. A cuban heel stocking is defined by an opaque foot bed that runs from the toes up past the heel, ending in a point. Backseamed and best paired with garters for insured stay-up-ability, they're undeniably foxy.
Our Cuban Heel collection may be small, but there are three definite pin-up styles that rock the cuban heel.
• Lycra Sheer Cubans with Lace Up Tops •
• Cuban Heel Thigh Highs •
• Two Tone Red Cuban Heeled Stockings •
For non-traditional takes on the cuban heel and a little bit of definition nerding after the jump!
I was going to write about our Vices collection, but it looks like everybody stocked up before making resolutions! So how about some sparkle for the new year? Because for me, sparkle is a vice.
It's too late to suggest socks and accessories for new year parties, but sparkle shouldn't be confined to just beginnings. The shine of a new year, like a treat still in its wrapper, sort of begs for sparkles and shine. But rocking a little glitz can help keep up the hope a year began with into the following months.
I can think of nothing more appropriate than the sparkle of rhinestones to kick off a new year. Silver sparkles dress up basic leggings and little net gloves—because basics don't have to be boring.
• Fingerless Fishnet Gloves with Rhinestones •
• Rhinestone Studded Microfiber Leggings •
For leg warmers we have a nice gradient of shimmer, from the delicate stripe of shine, to bold stars, or an all out lurex marl, heavy on the sparkle. You can choose your level of sparkle:
• Wide Stripe and Lurex Leg Warmer •
• Lurex Star Leg Warmer (also available in an awesome pink) •
• Lurex Leg Warmer with Pom Pom Tie Top •
Thigh highs, tights and more after the jump! Read more »
Sheer & Opaque Stripe Thigh Highs w/Lace Top
We clearly love socks here, but some socks we love more than others.
"Dreamers Recommend" highlights the current favorite style of one of our Sock Dreamers.
Dreamer name: India
Current favourite style: Sheer & Opaque Stripe Thigh Highs w/Lace Top
Did you like this sock when we first started carrying it, or did you hate it and grow to love it?
Generally I don't dig lace on myself but with these it's okay.
What is the best thing about this particular style?
They are really long. My inseam is 34" and I like a thigh high to go all the way up sometimes. Not to mention the subtle thinner stripes. Grown up goth if you will.
after thinking one of our favorite Dream Stockings styles was gone for good we have been blessed with lots of new colors of O Marled socks… and just in time for fall weather to start hitting us with chilly evenings and even chillier mornings.
These deliciously thick, ribbed socks stretch to an accommodating 23 inches around at the tops while still fitting those of us with scrawny calves… a true "Dream" stocking if there ever was one!
My inseam is about 30 inches and my thighs are 19 inches around so these come pretty close to the tops of my thighs if I pull them all the way up, but my favorite way to wear them is thickly cuffed just above my knees. Larger/longer legs will have varying results, but as seen in the image for charcoal, as worn by Trina, these can still be a great OTK…
The biggest change with this new batch is that we decided to only do one foot size which we are calling large because it is larger [in the feet] than the small hunter we have leftover from the previous batches, but don't worry, these fit a shoe size 7 right up to women's 10 pretty well and we will probably switch that large to "one size" when those hunters are gone. I also think these itch a little more before being washed a few times, which we think is due to the marled bits, I solved it by wearing them over leggings, but really it just took washing them to soften them up.
Ember is my favorite color of these right now, and as I sit here telling you why I love them so much I am tempted to wear them through a second day because I don't want to take them off!

This article was previously published under Q161870
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
For a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version of this article, see 842355
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/842355/ ).
The Services for Macintosh (SFM) component of Windows NT has an upper limit to the number of files and directories that can be located on SFM volumes on a given Windows NT Server. This limit is determined by the amount of paged pool memory available to the Windows NT kernel.
The information in this article is provided to assist in determining reasonable limits for the number of files to be housed on SFM servers.
NOTE: The algorithm used by SFM to allocate memory was changed in a Post- SP3 hotfix. This hotfix is included with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. The information in this article applies to all versions of SFM prior to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. For more information on this change, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/166571/EN-US/ )
TITLE : Creating an SFM Volume on Large Partition Causes a Stop 0x24
Services for Macintosh uses a small amount of paged pool memory for each file and directory that resides on a SFM volume to cache information needed for efficient operation of the service. For small to medium sized volumes, this memory requirement is usually negligible. However, if the volume size is very large, or a large amount of paged pool memory is needed for other services, errors may be encountered when attempting to create new files on a SFM volume, or when performing other operations that require the use of paged pool memory.
The number of bytes of paged pool memory SFM allocates to keep track of a file or directory depends on the length of the file's long file name (LFN). The length of the 8.3 file name (if any) is unimportant. The following table shows the number of bytes of paged pool memory needed by SFM as a function of the length of a file or directory's long file name.
Length of LFN File Dir ------- ---- --- 1 - 8 128 168 9 - 12 136 176 13 - 20 152 192 21 - 32 176 216
Therefore, a directory tree consisting of 200 subdirectories and 10,000 files, all with names between 13 and 20 characters in length, would require (200 * 192) + (10,000 * 152), or 1,558,400 bytes (1.48 MB) of paged pool memory.
"Paged pool memory" refers to a specific region of the Windows NT virtual memory map accessible to kernel mode operating system components.
The maximum amount of paged pool memory available to Windows NT is determined at system boot time and, by default, depends on the amount of physical RAM installed on the system. The maximum amount of paged pool memory that can be allocated, even with unlimited physical RAM, is 192 MB.
The default paged pool size can be overridden by means of a change to the Windows NT registry. However, extreme caution should be used when altering the default settings for kernel memory allocation. If an appropriate balance of paged pool, nonpaged pool, and other memory resources is not maintained, Windows NT may become unstable because of a shortage of resources, even when there is plenty of available physical RAM.
Other system components besides SFM also use paged pool memory. Therefore, the actual number of files SFM will be able to handle on a given system will depend on that system's overall configuration. To see how much paged pool memory is in use at a given time, examine the Pool Paged Bytes counter of the Memory object within the Windows NT Performance Monitor.
If you use all the available paged pool memory on your system, you may see some of the following symptoms. Other symptoms may also be present, and you may not encounter all of the following:
Additional background information about virtual memory is available in "Inside Windows NT" by Helen Custer, and from other sources, including the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

THE screaming subtext of Susan Mitchell's political potboiler, Tony Abbott: A Man's Man, is that no woman should ever vote for him. Yet almost no one who knows Abbott, however much he or she might disagree with him, would dismiss him as a misogynist.
The judgement of Adele Horin (no fan) was that Abbott was "easy to hate" but also "easy to like". Mia Freedman – whose reaction to Abbott's accession to the leadership was: "PS Libs, are you on crack?" – said after actually talking to him: "I did like …

THE new Australian Party could soon set a Katter among the pigeons. Party founder, the Queensland independent federal MP for Kennedy, Bob Katter Jr, is aiming to influence the cross benches in some states but he's also after a slice of the traditional conservative vote and a sliver of the Greens vote as well.
While he's offering voters a mix of rural socialism, nationalism and protectionist economic policy, he's also wrong-footed not just the National Party but also the Liberal Party by calling for more personal freedom and civil liberties. Bob …

WHAT came to be known as the Australian Labor Party was formed in 1891 and by December 1, 1899, Queensland had the first Labor government in the world. Led by Anderson Dawson from the dual electorate of Charters Towers, it lasted only a week but it gave the ALP a valuable opportunity to get the dirt on the conservatives by examining previous governments' files.
By April 27, 1904, the party's progress was confirmed by the installation of the world's first national Labor government. Led by Chilean-born J. C. (Chris) Watson, …

If she cannot turn public opinion, it can only be a matter of time before her caucus colleagues remove her from the top job.
Gillard's ability to recover from her slide in the polls will depend on how well entrenched public opinion is of her and her leadership style.

ECENT draconian, anti-democratic provisions, especially in NSW, are threatening the survival of small parties such as the Australian Sex Party and the eccentrically named Outdoor Recreation Party.
As for aspiring political minnows, well, it's getting tougher to register as official political parties in the populous state.
In last year's federal election, 21 political parties nominated candidates in NSW for the Senate. In this year's state election, only 14 political parties nominated candidates for the Legislative Council, its state equivalent.

THE reality is that Manning Charles Hope Clark was never an objectively inclined academic scholar. Thus his magnum opus, the six-volume A History of Australia, had more in common with the vision of 19th-century English writer Thomas Carlyle, whose three-volume History of the French Revolution was inspired by a distinctly personal vision spelled out in an epic narrative style.
Indeed, Clark sometimes admitted there wasn't very much difference between literary fiction and "his kind of history".
As academic Mark McKenna tellingly puts it, in the romantic tradition of Carlyle, who spoke from …

Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and collecting a decedent's assets, paying taxes, claims and expenses and distributing the decedents assets to his or her named beneficiaries.
Small Estates (Disposition Without Administration) are filed when no formal administration is necessary and no real property is involved, pursuant to Florida Statute 735.301.
Trusts are pursuant to Florida Statute 737.
Frequently Asked Questions for Estates
Why is Probate Necessary?
Probate is necessary to wind up the affairs the decedent leaves behind. Probate also serves to transfer assets from the decedent's individual name to the proper beneficiary. .
What are Probate Assets?
Generally, probate assets are those assets in the decedent's name alone at the time of death or owned solely with no named beneficiary or in-trust-for provision.
What happens to the decedent's assets if there is no will?
The assets are distributed as follows: the surviving spouse; the surviving spouse and lineal descendents; surviving parents; brothers and sisters and descendants of any deceased brothers and sisters and descendants of any deceased brothers and sisters. Certain exemptions exist for homestead property and statutory family allowances.
Who has preference to be personal representative?
The designated personal representative named in the decedent's will or the named successor. If the decedent did not leave a will, the surviving spouse has preference, with second preference to the person selected by a majority in interest of the heirs. The personal representative is required to have an attorney.
How do I find an attorney?

With a 2-1 victory over Punjab, Karnataka held its turf when confronted by a bully who threatened to take over.
An aggressive attitude — backed by a vastly superior physical presence — gave Punjab the edge in its 64th senior National hockey championship match, but Karnataka made up in skill.
The host (11 points) has now booked a spot in the final of the Rangaswamy Cup, where it will face either Mumbai (10 points after completing all its league fixtures), or Uttar Pradesh (seven points with a match in hand).
Uttar Pradesh, which faces Manipur on Wednesday, must win by a 13-goal margin to advance to the summit clash.
In a crucial match, Karnataka drew first blood when Naveen Kumar scored in the 10th minute. Punjab then chose to employ the odd shoulder-check and stick-poke to the body, which unsettled the mild-mannered opponent.
A few choice words aimed at the Karnataka players (and even the umpires) tilted the tide in its favour, and Punjab soon reaped the rewards with an equaliser in the 50th minute.
The North-Zone champion seemed likely to eventually force Karnataka into submission. It took a clutch of reflex saves from the goalkeeper, Mahan Gowda, to keep Karnataka from calling it quits.
As the battle drew to a close, Karnataka's diminutive substitute J.P. Kusha sneaked past an imposing wall of defenders, and tapped a shot on target. The goalkeeper blocked the shot, but the rebound was sent home by Vinayak Bijwad.
After his team survived several glancing, yet damaging blows, Vinayak's perfect punch knocked Punjab out of the park.
The results:
Mumbai 21 (Victo Singh 9, Ravi Pareek 3, Vikram Singh 2, Jayanta Meitei 2, Vikram Pillay 2, Laxman Rao, Rajat Sharma, Gnanendrajit Ningobam) bt Manipur 3 (L. Punachandra 2, P. Priyokumar); Uttar Pradesh 11 (John Paul Xaxa 4, Prem Kumar 3, Imran Khan 2, Ravi Bharti 2) bt Jharkhand 0; Karnataka 2 (Naveen Kumar, Vinayak Bijwad) bt Punjab 1 (og).

Ricky DiPietro: The Adventure Begins
Friday morning, the first official day of the New York Islanders'
training camp. One skater took the ice then another and so on until the
ice was full of players passing, shooting and getting their ice legs
back in order. I came all the way from Durham, New Hampshire late the
previous evening to see the number one draft pick take the ice to pass
or fail. As the players were filing in so too were the coaches, scouts
and various staff members from the Islanders organization presumably to
see the same player I had come to see. I recognized John Vanbiesbrouck,
Jason Krog and several others but no DiPietro. He was in the second
group so the anticipation had some time to mount. Soon the first group
was finished with their work out and off to the side ice sheet for a
scrimmage. About an hour later the second group began to file in. They
all looked the same, big and focused, distinguished only by different
colored sweaters, except for the goalies. Three or four goalies took
the ice and DiPietro stood out like a sore thumb. Brand spankin' new
pads, glove, blocker, helmet, everything absolutely pristine. The other
goalies had marked up pads from several games of use. That was the only
difference though, Ricky DiPietro was the consummate professional. He
didn't look nervous or excited, he just followed instructions,
participated and above all stopped pucks.
Islanders Training Camp Preview: Part Two The Fight For Jobs.
Please keep this in mind:
Butch Goring will not hesitate to bench any player on this team who is not giving every bit of effort at all times when they are playing.
That used to be the definition of Islander hockey when Goring played here under Al Arbour and anyone who does not play that way will not be here very long.
Islanders by the numbers entering training camp:
Played on last years team-*
1. Rick DiPietro
30. Wade Flaherty*
34. John Vanbiesbrouck
35. Stephen Valiquette*
40. Mike D'Alessandro
55. David St. Germain
Comments: It's Beezer's job to lose and Di Pietro's job to win. Di Pietro is a star in the making with fantastic quickness, great recovery, a sharp glove and ability to handle the puck.
Beezer will get the start in the teams preseason opener against Philadelphia and based on early reports in camp, is looking like the number one goaltender and is thrilled with being a mentor for Di Pietro. All the goaltenders have looked solid in camp so far, and St Germain has stood out in scrimmages.
Questions: Beezer is not going to be able to hold up this team on his own, and if Di Pietro does not make the team in some capacity Wade Flaherty or Steven Valiquette have to give this team 25-30 games. One goalie who's season ended with a shoulder injury and is a journeyman and another who had some standout performances in a late season call up.
Leaving home…Part 2
6. Martin Podlesak (CHL:Tri-city, WHL Czech:HC Sparta Praha)
The huge framed winger Martin Podlesak (6'5", 200 lbs.) should follow the way to the WHL. Regarded as one of the top 1982 born Czech prospects, Martin isn't elegible until the 2001 draft (born 09-26-1982, one day after Frantisek Lukes coverd in Part 1). He plays for the juniors of a very strong HC Sparta Praha team and there isn't a sign of Martin coming to the last league champion's team. Martin has prototypical North American size, that will help him in the WHL a lot. The decision shouldn't be so hard for him, just get aboard a plane. The WHL will help him develop his hard-nosed playing style and a style of play played at a smaller rink will suit him very good. The sooner he gets used to that, the better for him. He plays in his draft year, so the motivation shouldn't be a problem. In Tri-city Martin can blossom into a power forward and make a bigger impress on the NHL scouts than a Sparta Praha junior player.

and got between them before they went at it. When it appeared the Ref's

ref's ended the show, for good this time.

Diabetic Retinopathy - Treatment Overview
There is no cure for diabetic retinopathy. But laser treatment (photocoagulation) is usually very effective at preventing vision loss if it is done before the retina has been severely damaged. Surgical removal of the vitreous gel (vitrectomy) may also help improve vision if the retina has not been severely damaged. Sometimes injections of an anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medicine or an anti-inflammatory medicine help to shrink new blood vessels in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Because symptoms may not develop until the disease becomes severe, early detection through regular screening is important. The earlier retinopathy is detected, the easier it is to treat and the more likely vision will be preserved.
You may not need treatment for diabetic retinopathy unless it has affected the center (macula) of the retina or, in rare cases, if your side (peripheral) vision has been severely damaged. But you do need to have your vision checked regularly.

These remedies allow you to manage your diabetes just like you manage other parts of your life such as your work, household chores, and family budget. In taking the appropriate steps for diabetes care at home, you can feel a sense of control regarding your illness. Here are some dia...
Read the Diabetes Care at Home article > >
If the macula has been damaged by macular edema, you may need laser treatment. For more severe retinopathy, you may need either laser treatment or vitrectomy. These procedures can help prevent, stabilize, or slow vision loss when they are done before the retina has been severely damaged. Newer treatment includes medicines like anti-VEGF medicine or steroids that are injected into the eye.
Surgical removal of the vitreous gel (vitrectomy) is done when there is bleeding (vitreous hemorrhage) or retinal detachment, which are rare in people with early-stage retinopathy. Vitrectomy is also done when severe scar tissue has formed.
Treatment for diabetic retinopathy is often very effective in preventing, delaying, or reducing vision loss. But it is not a cure for the disease. People who have been treated for diabetic retinopathy need to be monitored frequently by an eye doctor to check for new changes in their eyes. Many people with diabetic retinopathy need to be treated more than once as the condition gets worse.
Also, controlling your blood sugar levels is always important. This is true even if you have been treated for diabetic retinopathy and your eyes are better. In fact, good blood sugar control is especially important in this case so that you can help keep your retinopathy from getting worse.
Ideally, laser treatment should be done early in the course of the disease to prevent serious vision loss rather than to try to treat serious vision loss after it has already developed.
People with diabetes who have any signs of retinopathy need to be examined as soon as possible by an ophthalmologist.

Respond to Review of Pure City
by davidmartiste
Review: The owner is wonderful and has a book of photos of most dishes if you want to see something first. We love to start with the steamed veggie dumplings. Our fave entrees are the ginger veggie nuggets, the orange flavor and the sizzling soy platter on the gourmet dishes menu... all sure to please any meat eater. As a ginger lover, their fresh slices of ginger throughout the dish is a sure pleaser. They have takes on standard chinese fare as well such as general tso and a veggie protein and broccoli which my niece loved thinking it was chicken and broccoli. The mock-meat style tastes and looks better and fresher than any meat-like fare I've had. If you have the room, top your meal off with the chocolate tofu pie which is like the best chocolate cheesecake or chocolate silk pie you've ever had. Lunches are super cheap too!

Oday 39 and 40's
Thanks for all your responses. So far I have been able to account for 13 O39's and 14 O40's. I have personally met 7 of these owners and spent time on their boats.
So far I have hulls #17 thru 106 in the 39's and 131 thru 193 in the 40's. I am guessing that there was approximately 200 of our style boats made.
For all the doubters of the Oday line that may stumble across this post I would like to add that my wife and I have put over 15,000 miles behind us in the past three years. We have sailed the Great Lakes, the East Coast from the Keys to Martha's Vineyard and made two trips to the Bahamas. We are landlocked for a year but will set out for the Caribbean in 2012.
Great boat!

A Fan Letter to John Waters17 Oct
Dear John Waters,
Yes, this is a fan letter, but not for your films—for your writing.
I will confess that I don't feel strongly either way about your films. I think the last one I saw was Polyester. That's right, not even Hairspray. The thing I appreciated most about Polyester was the opportunity to experience a William Castle-inspired gimmick, having been too young to catch his films and stunts in theaters, though I do remember the Thirteen Ghosts glasses my older brother Harvey brought home when I was four.
I was 16 when Pink Flamingos came out, but I went to see it with friends a couple of years later, when it was running as a midnight special at a porno theater in Bensonhurst, Saturday Night Fever territory. I had never been to a porno theater before, and this being the "golden age" of porn, they were showing Wet Rainbow, with Georgia Spelvin and Harry Reems. My friends and I arrived for the tail end of Wet Rainbow, and they let us in, a premium we hadn't counted on. Apparently the film had a story, as they often did in the olden days, but we had arrived too late to make any sense of it. As far as the sex was concerned, I can't even remember if it gave me a hard-on.
Of course we loved Pink Flamingos. We were 18, after all. But 40 years later I confess I can't remember a thing about it. Some fan letter, eh?
Anyway, I recently saw your book Crackpot on offer as a Kindle daily deal for $1.99. Now frankly, I probably wouldn't have paid retail for one of your books, but I figured, for two bucks what have I got to lose?
Then, about a week ago I started reading it, and I was truly blown away by your writing. Thank ya, Bezos! Your sentences are vibrant, the writing is incredibly funny and, more importantly, spellbindingly engaging. Now I'm singing your writerly praises far and wide. I've been telling people that as a writer you're A.J. Liebling's skinny, gay brother from a parallel universe, and from me any comparison to Liebling is the highest form of compliment. And I surely have to tip my hat to someone who can make the late films of Godard sound like fun. I think you should send your piece about Hail Mary to Pope Francis. If you ever stood a chance with a pope, he's the one. Carpe diem!
On top of all that, your piece about teaching at a maximum security prison was nothing short of touching. The other pieces made me appreciate you. That one made me like you. Bravo!
Now I will not hesitate to pay whatever it takes to read other books of yours.
As a token of my appreciation, I'm enclosing a copy of my own recent collection, Lift Your Right Arm, which I hope you'll enjoy. After all, what's the real purpose of a fan letter but self-promotion?
As a matter of fact, when the book came out I was supposed to do a reading and talk at your home base, Atomic Books, but, alas, they dropped the ball. Should they ever come to their senses, pick up the ball and invite me to do an event, I hope I'll have the chance to meet you.
With fond appreciation,
Peter Cherches
How I Became a Circassian-American Writer14 May
My family name, Cherches, is a Russian Jewish name. My father's side of the family came from an area that I believe is in modern-day Ukraine. But for years I thought the name derived from Circassia, an area in the Caucasus. The Circassian people are known as Cherkess, and several academics, a classicist and a Near-Eastern specialist, on seeing my name and hearing it pronounced, posited that Cherches was a variation on Cherkess.
In 2006, on the Chowhound foodie bulletin board, I responded to a query about Circassian restaurants in New York. I wrote, "'The Circassians, or Cherkess, are well-renowned for their horsemanship and the linguistic complexity of their languages.' I believe this is where my name and my ancestors on my father's side originated. I inherited the linguistic complexity but not the horsemanship."
A few years later a video appeared on YouTube about "The work of the Circassian American writer Peter Cherches." It was wild. There was Circassian folk music and a caption that referred to me as the scion of one of the first Circassian families to immigrate to America. Then a man with what I guess is a Circassian accent read several of my pieces.
Where did this come from? I wondered. I figured it had to have been that comment I made on Chowhound, about the putative origin of my name. Somehow I had been transformed into a Circassian cultural hero, albeit a small-time one.
Eventually I did more research on the name Cherches. I began to suspect the Cherkess connection when I learned that the people of Circassia, many of them living abroad in Israel or the U.S., are Muslims, and I could find nothing about a Jewish presence in Circassia. Interestingly, though, the Cherkess in Israel, though practicing Muslims, do not identify with the indigenous Muslim peoples of the middle east, live peacefully with the Jews, and serve in the Israeli military.
Digging further, I learned that there is a village in western Ukraine whose Romanized spelling is Czorcze or Cherche, and it's smack dab in the heart of the region that so many Jews emigrated from, not far from Lviv. It seemed much more plausible that the family name Cherches derives from that place name than from the non-Jewish Cherkess.
But as a writer who revels in blurring the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, and creating outlandish personae, I love the fact that someone went to the trouble of creating this false biography of me, blissfully unaware that it was fiction.

Thanks for a Fabulous Year!22 Dec
This is the time of year when some people do their year-end roundups. I especially hate those things that people do that look like little newspapers, like The Lipschitz Family Gazette, with thousands of words describing all the minutia of the family's year. Maybe some people like getting these, what do I know?
The only year-end roundups I've done previously were on my food blog, Word of Mouth, now on hiatus, and that was all about what I ate, period. I'm hesitant to do what I'm about to do, but this has been an especially fruitful and satisfying year for me, quite possibly the best year of all my 57 varieties. So, I will do a bit of a roundup here, but ultimately it's all about thanking and honoring all the people who helped to make this such a fabulous year for Peter Cherches. For we are nothing without the people who lend their encouragement and support to help us realize that which we wish to achieve.
Of course the biggest event was the publication of my book Lift Your Right Arm, which would not have been possible without the unconditional support and trust of an amazing publisher, Mark Givens. This is my first book in over 25 years, and it came about because Mark is a writer-oriented publisher. When Mark, whose online journal MungBeing I'd been publishing in regularly for several years, decided to start a publishing house, Pelekinesis, he invited me to submit a manuscript. At the time I had no book manuscript that I was shopping around. In fact, I had pretty much given up on book publication. But Mark's invitation inspired me to go through my work, new and old, and come up with the collection that I felt would best represent what I do as a prose writer.
And I must also thank the other generous writers who offered blurbs and reviews, among them Billy Collins, Luc Sante, Michael Martone and Kevin Killian. And a big hug to Bob Holman, who offered the fabulous Bowery Poetry Club for my book party and reading that exceeded all my expectations. It was a blast singing a couple of songs with Lee Feldman, my esteemed collaborator since the mid-80s, and I was so pleased that two of my closest friends, who also happen to be two of my favorite writers, Peter Wortsman and Holly Anderson, agreed to join me on stage.
The rush I got singing those songs again with Lee inspired me to start writing lyrics again this year, for the first time since the '80s; Lee and I are now working on a new show for next year.
After that heady, exciting and exhausting book release time I took a trip to Greece and Turkey. In Greece I got to realize an old dream, which dates back to my days as a student playwright: to visit the ancient theater at Epidaurus. At Epidaurus I gave myself the incomparable experience of singing my lyric to Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk," a cappella. Monk is at the top of my artistic pantheon, and to sing his music at such an iconic, legendary theater was perhaps the closest this atheist has come to a sacred experience.
Thanks to the folks outside New York who invited me to read at their stores and venues: Buck Downs for In Your Ear in D.C., Minter Krotzer and Hal Sirowitz at Big Blue Marble in Philadelphia, and for my first west coast readings in over 2o years, Richard Modiano at Beyond Baroque in Venice, Bill Petersen and Eric Whittington at Bird & Beckett in San Francisco, and the folks at Rhino Records in Claremont. Thanks to the fabulous flash fiction writer Meg Pokrass for agreeing to share the Bird & Beckett reading with me, and to the seriously sweet Venice legend Michael C Ford for joining me at Beyond Baroque.
I got to play tourist for the first time in L.A., where I shot a photo of my book with Monk's star on Hollywood Boulevard.
And thanks to the people who took the time to interview me about the book: Gerry Howard of Doubleday for my Booktalk Nation phone-in and Kirpal Gordon for the feature on the Giant Steps blog.
Thanks to old friend and book publicist extraordinaire Susan Weinstein who was so generous with her time and knowledge.
Thanks to the editors of the journals I've published in for the first time this year, including Ann Kjellberg of the fabulous Little Star, Norman Conquest at Black Scat Review, who had been one of the first people to publish my work over 30 years ago in a previous journal, and Adam Henry Carriere of the great online journal Danse Macabre, which in addition to publishing new work of mine has provided a home for some of my revised and resuscitated older fiction.
Another highlight of my year was the opportunity to present the great Norwegian jazz singer Karin Krog to a New York audience. I love giving as well as receiving, but I definitely got more than I gave from that fabulous performance by Karin and Steve Kuhn.
And, of course, thanks to everybody I've forgotten to thank.
My old friend Dennis DeForge, who was my co-editor of Zone magazine, said to me recently, "You seem to be going through a renaissance." I replied, "Give me a couple of hundred years and I may have an enlightenment." For now I'll do my best to keep from slipping back to the dark ages.
Sartre was wrong. Heaven is other people.
Giving Back14 Dec
One of the greatest pleasures for any writer who is not a cur is the opportunity to honor, or even better to gift the writers and editors who have inspired and supported him. I seem to lead a particularly charmed existence, as I've just had a third occasion to get a book or journal into the hands of the writer or editor who no longer had their own copy.
I learned the other day that Derek Pell, editor of the journal Not Guilty!, did not have a copy of the Absurdist Texts & Documents issue, which was probably my third or fourth publication ever as a young writer. I told Derek that I thought I might have a second copy that I could send him.
I confirmed today that I do indeed have a spare, and Derek will once again have an issue of this great magazine he edited.
The previous two return stories are connected to a fellow named Themistocles Hoetis, which was actually the nom de plume of a fellow named George Solomos.
I first came across the name Themistocles Hoetis when I found a hardbound anthology from 1956, Zero Anthology, at The Strand bookshop. Zero was an avant-leaning literary magazine that was founded in Paris in 1949. This anthology, from the year of my birth featured a number of major writers. I found this description in an online sale offer:
(BECKETT, Samuel). ZERO ANTHOLOGY of Literature and Art. No. 8. Edited by Themistocles Hoetis. Octavo, cloth, 239 pages. Contains the first book appearance of Paul Bowles' novella length story "The Hours After Noon" and two other contributions [Miller B24]. Also prints Samuel Beckett's short story "The Smeraldina's Billet Doux" [F&F 16.01]; additional contributions by Gore Vidal, Marianne Moore, Colin Wilson, Federico Garcia Lorca, Samuel French Morse et al.
Another writer in that anthology was the irreplaceable Ursule Molinaro, whom I knew. So when I next saw Ursule after buying the anthology I mentioned it to her. She remembered Themisticles Hoetis as "a very nice young man." And she told me she didn't have a copy. So I told her I'd give her mine. I didn't have to think twice. She's in the publication, so she deserves to have a copy.
Coincidentally, a year or two later, browsing an outside stand in front of a used bookstore on Ann Street, I saw a spine with the name Themistocles Hoetis. It was his 1952 novel The Man Who Went Away. It was a dollar and of course I bought it. The prose was spare, the form somewhat experimental. It was a pretty good book.
I'm not sure exactly how the subject came up, but a mutual friend had told my Themistocles Hoetis anecdotes to novelist Caryl Phillips who, it turned out, had met Themistocles in London. So, when I eventually met Caz Phillips the name Themistocles Hoetis came up, and wouldn't you know it, several months later Caz tells me that Themistocles is coming to New York, and he doesn't own a copy of his own novel. No way I'd let a novelist, and certainly not a septugenarian one, be without a copy of his own novel. So I arranged to meet Themistocles Hoetis at his hotel with the book.
It was then I learned that Themistocles' real name was George Solomos. His family, he told me, had forbade him to bring shame upon the family with his writings, so he took up a nom de plume. He also told me that some years prior many of his personal effects had been lost by Greyhound in a move. To give this man back a copy of his own book, to see the look of pleasure and gratitude, priceless!
I wonder what I'd have done if I didn't have a second copy of Not Guilty! Who has the greater claim, the writer whose contributor's copy it is, or the editor who made it all possible? Not many people know this, but I'm a secret pushover. I think I would have sent my only copy to Derek.
Here's a link to George Solomos' obituary in The Guardian:

Spermicide for Birth Control - Topic Overview
A spermicide is a substance that kills sperm. Spermicides are available as jelly, foam, cream, suppositories, and film. The active ingredient of most spermicides is a chemical called nonoxynol-9.
Most spermicides come with an applicator. The applicator is filled with spermicide and inserted into the vagina right before intercourse.

Is Your Birth Control as Safe as You Think?
By Laura Beil Christen Childs woke up on September 12, 2009, in the pitch dark of early morning with what she thought was a pulled muscle in her leg. She reached down to massage the cramp, trying to fathom how her left calf could be so achingly sore when she hadn't made it to the gym in weeks. This was a Saturday — by Monday, her leg was swollen and hot, and when she tried to stand, jolts of pain shot up to her spine. She consulted her brother-in-law, a doctor, and he told her to go to the ER immediately...
Read the Is Your Birth Control as Safe as You Think? article > >
- When using a jelly, foam, or cream, you can then have sex right away.
- A spermicide film or suppository is inserted deep into the vagina using a finger and is placed close to the cervix. Film or suppositories must be inserted at least 15 minutes before having sex to allow the spermicide to spread in the vagina.
One application of spermicide is necessary for each act of sexual intercourse.
A nonprescription method
Spermicide use does not require a prescription or a visit to a health professional. Spermicide is sold in drugstores, grocery stores, and family planning clinics.
Spermicide and a condom used together provide a reasonable level of birth control without a prescription. Using spermicide alone is not recommended because it offers poor pregnancy prevention and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In fact, the nonoxynol-9 in most spermicides may increase the risk of getting HIV/AIDS from an infected partner.
Effectiveness in preventing pregnancy
The most effective strength spermicide contains at least 100 mg of nonoxynol-9 per dose. You are more likely to get pregnant if you use a weaker spermicide. There is no difference in effectiveness between various spermicide types, such as gel, film, or suppository.1
Typical use failure rate includes all possible users, including people who are careless and those who use a method perfectly every time. Perfect use failure rate includes only people who use a method perfectly every time.
- Spermicide used alone has a high failure rate of 29% for typical users. This means that in 1 year, 29 out of 100 women who use spermicide as their only method of birth control get pregnant. The perfect use failure rate is still high at 18% (18 out of 100 women).2
- Spermicide used with another barrier method (condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap) is more effective at preventing pregnancy than spermicide alone. For example, spermicide with a diaphragm has an average failure rate of 16%. This means that in a year, 16 out of 100 women who use a diaphragm and spermicide together get pregnant. The perfect use failure rate is much lower, at 6% (6 out of 100 women).2
Vaginal douching is not considered a birth control method even if it is done with spermicides. Douching after intercourse does not prevent sperm from reaching the fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place.

Fourth-largest school district in New Jersey expands pilot mobile learning program
With the start of a new school year, 1,000 fifth and sixth graders in New Jersey's fourth-largest school district will return to the classroom equipped with smartphones.
The initiative, part of a pilot mobile learning program that began with 100 students, is a cooperative venture among Toms River Regional Schools, Verizon and GoKnow Inc., which develops educational software for mobile devices.
The idea is that putting the mobile devices in the hands of students helps them manage their school work in the classroom and on the go. With roughly 17,400 students in four communities, the Toms River district is the largest in the country using mobile learning devices.
Launched in February, the initiative enables school district teachers to create and download curriculum directly to smartphones — or mobile learning devices (MLDs) — allowing students to perform a variety of tasks, including researching and writing reports, drawing and animating or even downloading books.
Teachers can also develop in-depth lesson plans that fit the personal needs of the students. The smartphones, equipped with Verizon Wireless' high-speed wireless broadband service are restricted from making calls or texting.
"This is a great alternative to traditional pen and pencil work and promotes better critical thinking skills," Vicki Rhein, who teaches fifth grade at Silver Bay Elementary School, said in a release announcing the program expansion.
"We're finding that students are more engaged and even requesting to delve deeper into topics," she said.
District officials said they have already seen improvements in student performance as a result of the pilot program.
"In my view, this has been one of the most impactful curriculum initiatives we've undertaken," said Mike Citta, principal of Toms River's Hooper Avenue Elementary School.
Students "have really embraced the technology," to the point where participating students completed 100 percent of their homework assignments on time, he said.
"What we're witnessing in Toms River is truly exciting and we're thrilled to be a part of this game-changing educational initiative," said Mario Turco, president of Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State Region.
Mobile learning is steadily gaining traction as a means to enhance learning in the 21st century classroom. A 2009 study by Project Tomorrow, a national education advocacy group based in Irvine, California, found that that 63% of parents say they would buy their child a cell phone if they knew it would be used for educational purposes.
The study also cited increased student engagement, preparation for a workforce where computer literacy is mandatory and extended-school-day learning as key benefits of integrating mobile learning devices in the educational process.

There have been numerous cases of lithium-ion batteries catching fire in everything from mobile phones and laptops to cars and airplanes. While the odds of this occurring are low, the fact that hundreds of millions of lithium-ion batteries are produced and sold every year means the risk is still very real. Researchers at Stanford University have now developed a "smart" lithium-ion battery that would provide users with a warning if it is overheating and likely to burst into flames. Read More
"Nanograss" boosts the efficiency of organic solar cells
October 13, 2014
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Stanford University and the Dresden University of Technology have developed a long sought-after nanostructure that can significantly increase the efficiency of organic solar cells. Their "nanograss," a dense array of vertical nanopillars, can capture photons at a very high efficiency and could also lead to cheaper and more advanced 3D transistors, photodetectors and charge storage devices.

Buckyballs and diamondoids combined to create molecule-sized diode
September 10, 2014
Scientists working at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) claim to have created a molecule-sized electronic component just a few nanometers long that conducts electricity in only the one direction. In essence, a rectifier diode, but one so small that it may one day help replace much bulkier diodes and other semiconductors found on today's integrated circuits to produce incredibly compact, super-fast electronic devices.

Currently, people with glaucoma must have their internal optic pressure (the pressure within their eye) regularly checked by a specialist. If that IOP gets too high, then steps need to be taken to lower it, before vision damage can occur. The problem is, the pressure can change quickly, potentially rising to dangerous levels between those checks. A new implant, however, could make it possible for patients to check their own IOP as often as they like, using their smartphone. Read More

Stanford researchers develop self-cooling solar cells
By David Szondy
July 25, 2014
Photovoltaic cells are one of the more promising alternative energy sources. Mechanically they are very simple, with no moving parts, and are clean and emission-free. Unfortunately they are also inefficient. One of the reasons for this is that they overheat, a problem that a Stanford University team under electrical engineering professor Shanhui Fan is addressing with the development of a thin glass layer that makes solar cells self-cooling.

Ferguson: Rooney wants to leave Man United
Despite his poor form this season, which continued on Saturday after coming on as a substitute during the 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion, there should be no shortage of bidders if United tries to sell Rooney during the January transfer window.
Chelsea and Manchester City are viewed as the two most likely destinations in England, with Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti saying Monday he would be interested in signing the player.
"If Rooney is on the market, I think that not only Chelsea but a lot of teams would be interested," Ancelotti said.
British newspapers were united Tuesday in saying Rooney would be open to a move to City, following in the footsteps of Tevez, who has flourished in his 15 months at Eastlands.
Ferguson is not closing the door on Rooney staying at United.
"David (Gill)'s prepared to offer the best terms possible for any player in the country," Ferguson said. "We realize and recognize the quality of the player, that's why negotiations were started early summer, two years before his contract was up, to extend that contract."
Rooney's immediate aim will be to get back to full fitness. He was carried off on a stretcher during training on Tuesday, ruling him out of Wednesday's Champions League match against Bursaspor.
It remains to be seen how is treated by Ferguson and United's fans as he attempts to clinch a money-spinning move away from the club.

Nadal, Venus Williams win opening round matches
WIMBLEDON, England Rafael Nadal opened his Wimbledon title defense with a convincing victory Monday, beating Michael Russell 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 on a "fantastic" day while his parents watched from the Royal Box.
In keeping with tradition, the defending men's champion played the first match on Centre Court at the All England Club - and the top-ranked Spaniard put on a worthy performance to begin the 125th edition of the championships.
Five-time women's champion Venus Williams, back on her favorite grass surface, also swept into the second round with a 6-3, 6-1 win over 97th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan. The American also made a fashion statement, wearing a one-piece playsuit with cutout sleeves that exposed part of her back.
Nadal, coming off his sixth French Open title and 10th overall Grand Slam championship, double-faulted to go down a break 4-2 in the first set against the 91st-ranked Russell. But Nadal buckled down, ran off six straight games to take the set and go up a break in the second. He was in command the rest of the way against the 33-year-old American.
"I started so-so in the first set, but after that I start to hit very well the forehand and I think I finished playing a very good level," Nadal said.
The two players shared a laugh after Russell successfully challenged what had been ruled an ace by Nadal on match point. Nadal won the next point, though, to finish the match in just under two hours.
It was the first time Nadal has walked onto Centre Court as defending champion. After winning the title for the first time in 2008, he missed the tournament the following year with a knee injury.
"Fantastic," he said. "Seriously, I never played in a court like this. (It) was a big emotion to be the first player to play in this fabulous court. It was a very, very exciting feeling."
Watching from the Royal Box were Nadal's parents, Sebastian and Ana Maria.
"Too many beautiful things to see my mom and my dad in the Royal Box,'" Nadal said. "I think for them (it) was a great experience. So, everything in general was very, very nice today."
While Nadal and Williams played in mostly sunny conditions, rain fell in late afternoon and forced organizers to close the retractable roof on Centre Court during the match between sixth-seeded Francesca Schiavone and Jelena Dokic.
Resuming play in covered conditions at 1-all in the third set after a delay of about 50 minutes, Schiavone went on to complete a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 victory over the 45th-ranked Australian.
Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion and this year's runner-up at Roland Garros, capitalized on two double-faults by Dokic to break for 5-3. With rain drops drumming on the translucent roof, the Italian saved four break points in the next game before winning on her second match point.

One of the strongest solar storms in recent history began buffeting the earth on Thursday, raising the possibility of global disruptions to satellite and electronics systems.
Effects — including bright Northern Lights in the northern hemisphere — might be noticed for several days.
"We now have warnings of a storm that is supposed to come this evening," Paolo Ferri, of the European Space Operations Centre of the European Space Agency (ESA), told DPA.
Thursday's storm comes after a minor storm hit earth on Wednesday night and after a larger storm in January passed to the earth's right.
Not only was Thursday's storm likely to hit the earth full on, but it was also supposed to be one of the most powerful felt in recent years and five times stronger than the one registered on Wednesday night.
So far, no disruptions have been noticed in satellite functions around the world, since many sensitive devices had been powered down on Wednesday in anticipation of the storm. There were reports that it had become difficult to control the Venus Express, an ESA Venus probe.
Possible disruptions could include problems with flights, electricity networks and earth-orbiting satellites.
"There are two problems with satellites," says Ferri. Some, like the space telescope Integral, have sensitive instruments on board that work with high voltage. "Those react immediately and dramatically," which is why they are turned off before the storm.
He said it helps that forecasts of solar storms have improved; giving scientists more time to prepare themselves and their equipment.
But there's another key problem, said Ferri. Some satellites are guided by special star sensors.
"Those sensors are practically blinded when these storm-loaded particles come. That's what's happening with Venus Express," he said.
He noted that, because the Express is nearing Venus, it's even closer to the sun and experiencing even more intensity. To compensate, radio signals could be used to steer the satellite, but that is a less precise and labour-intensive alternative.
The sun is in the middle of an 11-year waxing and waning cycle. Scientists expect this one to peak in mid-2013. The current storm is expected to be the second-strongest of the current cycle so far.

The board of trustees approved a zero increase on associate-degree-level courses for those who live in the district. Those who are in-state but out of district will be an extra $6.50 per credit hour at the associates-degree level while residents of Chaffee, Grand and Jackson Counties will pay $6 extra per credit hour. The biggest increase comes for those paying out-of-state tuition, who will see a $56 per credit hour increase. A news release from CMC says the school remains one of the most affordable in the state. At the same time, the board of trustees are expected to work over the next few months on comprehensive and strategic plans to improve student access and achievement through changes to the school's financial aid programs. Your Morning News - January 28th, 2015 By Aspen Public Radio News • Jan 28, 2015 Glenwood Hot Springs Responds to Bacteria Complaint The Glenwood Hot Springs says it is keeping up with making sure one of its pools is safe to use. The business told Aspen Public Radio last night that routine maintenance already does a good job preventing too much of a certain kind of bacteria. Last summer, the therapy pool at the Hot Springs tested positive for a bacteria that can cause what's called hot tub rash. It is dangerous only for people with weaker immune systems like cancer patients. John Bosco is Chief Operations Officer with the business. "The levels shown in the test results are, it's arguable, whether it's a level that's deemed very dangerous or whether it's not. The state does not currently have any requirements for testing and monitoring." Garfield County officials agree that the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and Lodge has measures in place to keep the water clean. Josh Williams is Environmental Health Manager. "I mean their monitoring and tracking of that is above and beyond the required testing is for bacterial contamination. Which is a good indicator that they take it very seriously." Garfield County says the bacteria are naturally occurring, though also the leading cause of hospital infections. The possibility of high levels at the Glenwood Hot Springs recently came to light after a local resident publicly complained this week saying government officials aren't doing enough to prevent the bacteria from being dangerous. She had originally complained last year of ongoing severe intestinal sickness.
