To meet this expected shift in demand, Sony is working on development of its Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) format, which reached its third generation in October. Sony has doubled AIT's capacity and transfer speed with each new generation, Takao said.
AIT3 offers a capacity of 100GB per tape and a data transfer speed of 12Mbps. The company plans to keep doubling AIT's capacity and transfer speed until AIT6, which is expected to hold 800GB per tape with a data transfer speed of 96Mbps by 2007, Takao said.
Development of AIT6 is expected to be made possible as a result of a breakthrough at Sony's research labs. The company succeeded in recording data at a density of 6.5GBpsi, which would allow an 8mm AIT-sized tape to have a capacity of 1TB.
Sony also announced a licensing alliance with Matsushita to develop the Super AIT format. By changing the size of the tape's cartridge to match competing larger standards such as DLT, Super DLT and linear tape open (LTO), Super AIT tapes can hold five times more data than AIT tapes, said Yuji Takahashi, a spokesman for Sony.
Other companies planning to roll out Super AIT products include Spectra Logic and Qualstar.

State Panel Declares Financial Emergency in Detroit
The decision brings Michigan's largest city one step closer to a state takeover.
A Michigan panel has officially declared Detroit in a state of "financial emergency," bringing the financially strapped city one step closer to a state takeover.
The declaration was made Tuesday by the state's six-member Financial Review Team, which in December was tasked with examining the city's finances.
State Treasurer Andy Dillon, a member of the panel and whose office oversees state supervision of struggling cities, said Detroit hasn't enacted significant reforms it needs in order to rectify its finances.
"The team collectively believes the city needs assistance in making the difficult decisions necessary to achieve the significant reforms that are so crucial to the city's long-term viability," Dillon said in a statement.
Under state law, Gov. Rick Snyder now has 30 days to review the panel's report and decide whether the city is, indeed, in a state of financial emergency.
The review team noted that the city's general fund hasn't ended the year with a positive fund balance since the 2004 fiscal year, and at the close of the 2012 fiscal year, it had a deficit of $327 million.
As of June 30, 2013, the city's long-term liabilities -- including pension obligations and other post-employment benefits -- exceeded $14 billion, according to the team. It argues that the city faces a major challenge in addressing those costs, since the city charter makes changing future retirement benefits a cumbersome process.
The state -- which has a complicated history with emergency manager powers -- is operating under Public Act 72, an old version of its emergency manager law, which gives the state broad powers to intervene in struggling cities.
A new version of law approved by the legislature last year takes effect March 28.
Under PA 72, if Snyder does concur with the panel and determined that a financial emergency exists, the city will then have one last chance at changing his mind. If it doesn't, Snyder would be able to appoint an emergency financial manager who would have far-reaching powers in Detroit, including the ability to adjust its budget, revise its debt payments and renegotiate labor contracts.
Detroit leaders -- and indeed, many leaders in Michigan's financially distressed cities -- say the state government has exacerbated the financial challenges of localities by reducing their portion of state revenue sharing.
Detroit entered its consent agreement with Michigan last spring, in which the state had broad review powers over the city's finances. That move was an effort by the city to fend off the the threat of an emergency manager at the time.

Many people see striking similarities between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Great Britain's vote to leave the European Union. One of those people is Donald Trump.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee just happened to arrive in Scotland to reopen a golf resort as the news of the "Brexit," or "British exit" vote, came in. Unsurprisingly he took no time at all to make the story all about himself.
"They took back control of their country," said Mr. Trump when asked about the British vote. "It's a great thing."
"People are angry, all over the world, they're angry," he said. "They're angry over...

BYE BYE (NOW MY SWEET LOVE) Lyrics
Artist: Bonnie Tyler
Album: Diamond Cut
(Alan Tarney)
Producers for Bonnie: Robin Geoffrey Cable, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe
There's no time now you said to be in love
Anyhow what is my life to you
Well there's no point it's true in pursuing you
And it's not that I can or I'd want to
But to be honest I'll say that there have been times
When I've desired a kiss or a smile
Once or twice you've shown the face I like
And it's affected me more than I'd want it to
But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never have the chance to share it
Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye those tears I cry
I need you only to say goodbye
And now and again when I don't feel so shy
I pretend to remember your name
When the eyes don't see the heart doesn't feel
And the distance between us remains
But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never get the chance to share it

It's that time of year again...
In the rhythm of the seasons, we're right now at the peak of leaf-peeping time here in New England. This afternoon, I'm headed to my little (population 697) town of Bondville in Vermont along with hundreds of buses from Iowa, Indiana and everywhere else just to get a glimpse of fall color.
Long ago, I learned from 'The Boys on the Bench' down at the Winhall General Store that the month of October is known as "the money month" by the locals around all of the resort towns in Vermont.
A good example of the quirkiness of Vermonters (me being a 7th generation Vermonter and a perfect example of quirky) is the fact that the Winhall General store is directly across the street from the Bondville Post office. Vermont calls my town "Winhall", while the federal government calls it "Bondville". Only in Vermont!

Companies are realizing that creating content to generate leads, nurture leads and help educated buyers is an essential part of business. The problem is they don't know what content to write or have content and "hope" someone sees it. Unfortunately a blog isn't like the movie Field of Dreams and if you build it they will come. A wise VP of Sales once told me hope isn't a strategy. With thousands of companies moving to platforms like Hubspot as part of their Marketing "plan" it is essential the right strategy to optimize your content and ensure that your Marketing Department isn't just creating content but adding value by generating more leads, creating a shorter sales cycle and increasing revenue.

WOW!!! Someone is smoking some strong stuff.
Lets talk reality.
Currently one could take a PPI like Protonex for approximately $.02 per pill and a Bayer Enteric 81 mg asprin for $.015 per pill for a total of $.035 per day or $12.78 per year. What insurance company would pay for the additional $352.22 for perceived convenience, or even self pay. Is the difference worth it. No way.
Also bear in mind that a recent study of 12,000 Veterans on PPI showed a 48% higher incidence of kidney failure. FDA reconsidering a strong black box warnings on PPI and suggesting switching to a H2 antagonist like Zantac which though not as effective does not cause kidney disease.
ARLZ is late in the game.Do your research instead of mental masturbation.

Its a shame how many idiots post here. Scary that they will make money on ORMP despite their ignorance.
First of all to the idiot that said they will be profitable. Take an accounting course and learn the difference between earnings and stock sales and milestone payments.
Next completion of a study does not call for milestone payments.
Overlooked is the fact that should they be successful there are many protein based drugs already approved that are a canditate for their novel delivery system. The potential market is huge.
Good luck. Even to the ignorant.
Is this the same announcement you posted about a couple weeks ago.?
The 1st qtr trails did not go well. Stock is telling you as much..
It will be released in late 2nd qtr. Cash is probably down to at best $20 mil.Bye Bye

Hi all,
I was wondering if any one can give me some information on Hormone replacement therapy, particularly in regards to a male-to-female transsexual.
I've had a look on Wiki and what have you, but it is a lot to digest.
What I'd really like to know is, what is the most common form of HRT in the UK for a male-to-female transsexual? And is this usually prescribed through a doctor? Or is it more commonly self-administered?
Any other info on this subject would be great. Thanks!
January 9, 2013 at 22:00 #1239
Typically a male-to-female would take oestrogen – the patches are currently considered the safest – and an antiandrogen. The latter blocks the male hormones and makes the oestrogen more effective.
Basically, if all goes well:
* Your GP arranges an appointment with a shrink
* If the shrink is convinced you are transgender and need HRT, they'll sign off on it
* Your GP will then prescribe the pills/patches for you, assuming you are physically healthy enough (drinking, smoking etc can cause complications and reduce your chances of getting HRT)
Hope that helps.

Hormones are of course a minefield and drive all of us as well as impacting on our development be it trans or not.
As far as scriptwriting is concerned it is important to keep it simple so I wont go into the plethora of hormone names.
Few things gets the trans community more fired up and into opposing camps than hormones and the differing regimes people have around them.
Hormone treatment fall into two types; oestrogens and anti-androgens. The oestrogens being a female hormone are the dominant sex hormone in women and in men it's testosterone. An anti-androgen will suppress testosterone. So a combination of oestrogen and anti-androgen is common in a m2f transsexual.
A trans person just starting out on a hormone regime may often be given very large amounts in order to force the body to change. This will affect body mass distribution and breast development as well as chemically castrating the male genitalia. A post operative person would generally be reduced to a smaller amount of oestrogen (usually around 100 times smaller) and they would stop taking anti-androgens.
One interesting fact is that the oestrogen people take is normally a standard female contraceptive pill. Oestrogen is often continued to be taken for the rest of the persons life as the body will no longer be producing it's own. This is because the body needs hormones to regulate body functions, the one often cited is bone health where the lack of hormones can bring on osteoporosis.
Of course the visual physicalities that one can see from someone on hormones are what fascinates people most often. However the one that has the most impact is the fact that they often take people on a massive roller-coaster of emotions; happy, sad, depression, the whole gamut and a good approximation is the feelings women get during their menstrual cycle. It should be noted that the hormone regime seldom produces dramatic physical changes most commonly modest breast development, softer skin, reduced muscle mass and loss of male function. Hormones do not stop beard development or change your voice.
As for who prescribes them, this is often prescribed by a gender psych in the first instance and often continued by a GP as a maintenance regime.
Sometimes hormones are prescribed by a gender psych as a diagnostic tool to establish that a patient really is trans. This is because many other psychological conditions can present as gender dysphoria. The hormone will start changing the body right away and if it is not for the person they will desist in taking them.
There are a small amount of people that obtain hormones illegally and self prescribe for various reasons. This is not recommended as you need to be monitored while you are on hormones and complications like blood clots for instance can be minimised.
As always I should point out that I am no expert and some of what I write here is from personal experience as well as knowledge gathered over many years.
I deliberately do not give specific details here as I wanted to give an overview that would inform without boring, also one should be careful of making absolute medical statements which may be relied upon by other trans people seeking help as this is not a dedicated trans forum.
Thanks for your question

Thanks for responding to this question by the way. I've been so busy writing I forgot to reply!
I haven't gone in to great detail about HRT in my script, I don't think a sitcom calls for that, but it gets a couple of mentions and your response helped. So thanks.

"Great recipe!! easy and delicious"
"Excellent recipe. I made this with my girls and it was such a simple recipe that we really couldn't mess it up. We will definitely be making this more often!"

"I have used this recipe often. I increase the recipe and bake the balls on foil covered baking sheets. When cooled I put 25 balls in freezer bags and freeze. When I need a quick meal or a covered dish I take out the number of ball that I think I will need. I make the glaze and reheat the balls in the glaze.

Shaka Smart appears to be staying at VCU; what's next for Marquette?
Marquette did its due diligence with Shaka Smart, investigating what it would take for the Virginia Commonwealth coach to come home to Wisconsin, sources say.
But as of Tuesday, Smart was still at VCU and had given no indication that he was prepared to leave.
Marquette is in a position to double the 36-year-old Fitchburg native's $1.2 million salary, but Smart has been consistent in rejecting offers to leave the Atlantic 10 school in the past. If Smart doesn't come back around to Marquette, and there was no evidence Tuesday that he would, the Golden Eagles would move on in their search to replace Buzz Williams.
Ben Howland, the former UCLA and Pittsburgh coach with Final Four experience, remains a candidate. Marquette talked to Howland last week but hadn't gotten back to him as of Tuesday, according to a source. Talks could resume when the Golden Eagles are convinced that Smart is not available.
Howland, 56, took the Bruins to three consecutive Final Fours from 2006-'08. But last season he became what is believed to be the first coach in NCAA history to be fired after leading his team to an outright conference championship.
Howland went into the season knowing he had to take the Bruins deep into the NCAA Tournament to keep his job. The Bruins, however, lost their first game by 20 points to Minnesota and he was fired.
Related to UCLA's decline since 2008, the no-nonsense Howland experienced discipline problems with some of the hard-partying players he recruited who got caught up in the Hollywood nightlife scene. As a result, UCLA experienced a high rate of transfers.
Howland got the UCLA job after leading Pitt to consecutive Sweet 16 appearances. The Oregon native, who also served as head coach at Northern Arizona, was named the Naismith Coach of the Year in 2002.
According to sources, Howland would immediately accept the Marquette job if the terms were agreeable. He is said to believe that the resources are in place at Marquette to compete at the highest level.
Marquette might also consider Syracuse assistant coach Mike Hopkins, the heir apparent to Jim Boeheim. Hopkins has the option of waiting for Boeheim to retire or take a look at openings at Marquette and Boston College.
Meanwhile, a source at Marquette said none of Williams' assistant coaches are candidates for the job. All four are currently finishing duties at Marquette, and some are expected to join Williams at Virginia Tech after the new coach arrives.

It took a photographer, Farhad Samari, to express it best: the yarns are the foundation on which denim is built.
This second part of my interview with Allen Little, who designed many of Cone's finest yarns, covers some fairly esoteric subjects; in particular the hairiness of denim, and where that comes from, and the folk tales about "unbleached" fill yarns. Odd bits didn't make the edit; we did speak about Zimbabwe cotton, about which he was complimentary - although we didn't have time to discuss whether it's really long staple (it isn't, in the strict sense). My apologies that I have no more photos of the spinning process; you'll have to look at the previous Q&A for those. Instead, here are my photos of the loom floor, from January 2009.
There's a tendency from many companies, who produce selvage denim, to over-do the slubbiness, isn't there?
I think so, I think there is a lot of mechanically programmed denim that people call vintage that is very far away. You have to remember, people tried to make the best quality they could at the time. When they over-exaggerate the unevenness of the yarn, it becomes something else.
What're your thoughts on hairiness? A lot of people prefer almost an early '80s style denim, which is very hairy, and that's become associated with a vintage look. Hence there's this belief that the only good denim is hairy. What's your take on that?
The old yarns were ring spun and therefore [somewhat] hairy, but hairiness a lot of time comes from speed, and the newer machinery tends to run a lot faster. For some of our vintage fabric we have different levels of how much hair we leave on in its finished state. I don't agree it's all gotta be hairy, it all wasn't hairy. I think it's a mixture.
How much did the original cotton vary? For instance, today in terms of staple lengths, you average your cotton stock,for consistency. But we'd be talking about massive variability in the early days, what effect did that have?
It had a major impact. In the old days the goal was to make the yarns the same, as best they could. But they couldn't. Our family were farmers as well as spinners... you have to think about many conditions…seed, soil type, climate conditions, there was no (or little) irrigation and various farming techniques. all these things came into effect from year to year, crop to crop. They had little control. Think about various machinery though the years, and the different geographic regions, the effect of insects, the poorer quality of fertilisers, exposure to sunlight and rainfall and all this affected the cotton. The mills were trying their best to create the same product but mother nature and climate affected everything, and I think the denim changed because of that.
Mills would in general use longer cultivars of short staple cotton. Did that stay the same or vary?
The staple length of the cotton has a lot do to with climate and the length of the year they grew in. Cottons today are designed for the region that they grow in, for instance to cope with lower rainfall. Back then, the length of the fibre and the thickness of the fibre had a lot to do with mother nature. Even today, with all the techniques, irrigations, the same farmer can plant one field one year, and the next year [the staple length] can be significantly longer. Back then, cotton properties were evaluated by a cotton classer which was a person measuring by hand. In today's world, we have automated testing equipment so we know more about the cotton that we purchase. Transportation is also easier and more accessible; in the old days you would take cotton that was geographically closer.
Some people like Texas cotton, because it's hairier, shorter staple, associated with that '70s look. Did Cone move to Texas at any point, did the source change?
Cone started with cotton that was close in proximity to the mills. As transportation was became more accessible, I think there was a move into the Texas cotton... and I think the Texas cotton can be typically shorter [staple length] because of lack of rainfall, in the state as a whole and other factors. It's very good cotton for denim. Then of course North Carolina used to [provide] a lot of cotton, South Carolina and the states across the Mississippi valley, we call that Delta cotton , that Delta cotton is good cotton.[But] Texas cotton per se... the cotton is not hairy it's the properties of the cotton, the yarn's hairier because the cotton is a tad shorter with more short fibre content. [But] it's a generalisation that Texas cotton is more hairy, it is due to the properties of the spinning that makes the yarns more hairy.
What about shades of cotton – does that vary a lot?
It does.just another challenge of cotton milling. Cotton comes in various shades of yellow up to cream, you see denim in different shades just due to the colour of the cotton and climate which make it difficult [to reproduce]. But we try to address that in our vintage denim, we try to address those issues also.. we take other techniques to try and generate the variability in the cotton colour, we try to address that more on a yarn construction and can control some of that in dyeing.
I've heard talk of 'unbleached' cotton - was fill yarn ever bleached?
Bleach and cotton don't like each other, that's just a function of.. a particular year crop.. a particular geographic region. We mention the 1915 fabric. Some cotton tends to be much more yellow. If you've seen that piece of denim we have addressed that in the fill yarn to make it look like one of the more yellowish cottons. We do that using different techniques... I have to be careful. There's a variety of ways, you can pick a certain colour cotton, there are ways to colour the cotton to create a certain look and you can definitely buy different cotton varieties that have different colour, different regions and different varieties have different colours.
Is there a yarn you're particularly proud of?
Proud? I really like the XX15, that's a special one, what you call the 1915 fabric. I like them all but that's a favourite, I like the 1960… and then we have another vintage, similar to the 1915 it's a little different, rougher - the 1950s one which has our special yarn almost like the 1915. I'm a textural person, I like more character and uneven-ness.
Sometimes I'm staggered by the depth of knowledge, and love, of fabric from people who've been in the industry for a long time, like you or Ralph Tharpe.
That's called, being born in a doff box as I was once told when I was a boy. A doff box is a box where, on the old spinning machines, you put the bobbins of yarn in. As far as the people I meet that have that... the knowledge they bring to the table is pure magic.

Gripping yarns: a Q&A with Cone's Allen Little
Denim nerds love talking about selvage edges, and looms. But really when we're do so, we're overlooking something more vital: the yarns. Different looms do have a different effect - but really, it's the yarns that contribute more to the character of denim and how it wears in.
That's why I was excited to spend hours on the phone with Allen Little, who's undoubtedly one of the world's leading yarn experts. Allen works for Cone, a company that is currently celebrating its 125th anniversary. Cone produce an incredible variety of vintage-style denims, all made on their old Draper looms. But each of those individual denims, will have a specific yarn. Cone are unusual in this respect; although we often think of Japanese mills as boutique operations, they usually buy in their yarns from outside suppliers. Cone, in contrast, design their own.
Most of us know that many denim manufacturers turned to Open End spinning in the 1980s, and this lost us a lot of character, because the denim was simply too smooth and even. Hence, from the late 1980s onwards, there was a return to Ring Spun yarn. But beyond the use of Ring Spun yarn, there is almost an infinite variety in the look of what's available. Here Allen gives us an overview of how he reproduces specific yarns of specific eras.
As there's so much information to absorb, I'm running this Q&A in two sections. I will run the second part - which cover hairiness, cotton staple length, and the fiction of 'unbleached cotton' next week.
The main photos here are from Farhad Samari , from the Inventory story we did together.
Tell me about your background - I know your roots in the fabrics industry go deep.
I grew up in Wadesboro, North Carolina, and my family had spinning plants, spinning mills, way before I was born, a mill called Little Cotton Manufacturing . So I grew up in that environment – as a boy they allowed me to sweep the floors, I was surrounded by Whitin Spinning Frames. I went on to a textile career and decided to go more into the machinery and design side. So I joined Amsler Tech in Switzerland, a machinery company which make fancy yarn attachments and devices which are primarily aimed at denim; I spent around 10 years travelling round the world, teaching people how to use the machines and how to design the look they were aiming for. Then I came to Cone, which was a very big customer of this company - so finally I came back home, around [11] years ago.
Amsler software and controls are a very modern way of making yarns that look old-fashioned. How has the potential of their systems changed over the years?
It all developed over time. It started as a very crude technology and slub spinning was not really highly regarded. Denim and upholstery were the first things that went into it. Then as denim went from workwear into fashion there was an explosion of the demand. Everything became more complicated, the computer controlling other machines became more complex, the programming became more complex.
It used to be slub spinning was very simple; you just put a thick place in the yarn, and there was not much designing behind it. Then in the '80s the designing became more important. At the beginning, there weren't many people who knew how to design the yarn to give a certain aesthetic for a fabric. So that's what I was fascinated with.. and wondered if I could figure out how to design something that looked really nice and vintage-like, as I was training people how to use the machine. You had to learn how they operated, you also had to learn about also what old denim looked like, and I guess from there the software, and the controls of the slub devices kept advancing until now we've reached the point where it's highly computerised, and some of the designs for software packages that go with the machines are really quite amazing.
Tell me how you'd go about mimicking the yarn on a vintage-style denim. For instance, on LVC most of the denim is loomed in essentially the same way, so it's the yarn and the dyeing that defines the different fabrics. One of my favourite denims you've produced is the LVC 1915; a fabric that's authentic, vintage-looking but subtle. I assume that's one of your yarns - how did you go about developing it?
Yes, I designed that yarn. We were looking at [old] garments… we couldn't cut them apart 'cos they were quite valuable, but we know where the fabric comes from. You had to go back and think about the lack of control we had in the old day. So you're trying to take a computerised system to replicate a lack of control. The uneven-ness that came with the old type of spinning, this unevenness was random. You had many types of problems with the old spinning. Sometimes you had very long uneven sections of the yarn, sometimes you had very short uneven sections. Sometimes you have yarns that are more hairy than other ones. So we had to design yarn to replicate all of that. This particular yarn, we focused on three or four elements we had to reproduce, for each part of the aesthetic value we were looking for.
Looking specifically at LVC which has a wide variety of denim. We have 1915, then for instance, the early '30s, then we're on to wartime denim... was there a different yarn for every one?
We have some that are just different in proportion. They have different arrangements, there are one or two yarns common to some constructions, you learn in the old spinning what your main unevenness factor is, [and] that becomes a staple for some. Depending on where the yarns were made, it really depends on the time era and quality of cotton for a particular build at that time. So each one is unique in its design, but there is some overlapping.
Was recreating a duck fabric hard?
The denim is much more complex. The duck fabric, we did a few tricks to design that but no, from our perspective it was a simpler fabric. We took the same approach, as with anything else you try and mimic, thinking about how it was made originally. Trying to get the colour correct and some natural character to the duck fabric took some work, but it wasn't as difficult as the denim. We've been doing vintage for so long we have the arsenal of tools to do that, and that was more about coming up with a construction, using our existing tools.
In the pre-war Levi's, how radically was the spinning technology changing? If we take, say, the 1915 and the 1937, is there much difference?
There's not so much between them. The bigger advances in spinning were made later.. but back in the very early days things were produced very slowly. As you move from one era to another the yarns are getting a little bit better - but when I say better I don't mean good. The oldest denim is going to be the most uneven, with the most character but they're the hardest denim to reproduce, due to a variety of things. You've got to think about how a mill was powered, for instance if you're running water power, speed and things like that can change. So the denim got better as the years went along – but it wasn't good, technically
In 1940 vs 1915 there are differences in the denim, the ones from 1940 will be better, for instance the dyeing – they learned more about dyeing techniques as time moved on. It presents a challenge, but I think we've done a good job. You just have to try to put yourself back in time, read books about how things used to be done, plus there are old records from Cone, in our archives, and you have make interpretations of all of that.
Obviously the spinning technology was constantly improving. But in the late '50s and '60s you would have introduced Magnadraft spinning, and on that the magnets would have deteriorated over time. How did that affect the look of the denim?
When Magnadraft was working well, with magnets having all the power, it was much better The older denim, the cotton was not prepared as well, it has issues with neps and and parts of cotton left into the yearn, and that all changed during the Magnadraft era as the carding machines did a better job. We created a special yarn to simulate the issues with the Magnadraft, as the magnets lose their power - they don't have as much grip and it creates some unevenness. And that was a random effect. You've got to think a warp of denim is made from many different yarns, obviously we can't reproduce a 1000 different yarns to reproduce the different strengths of the magnets, but we can program it where it looks like it has. And that's a very special unevenness. Because of course this Magnadraft look is a nice look if you're into vintage.

Levi's fakes: the Amerrican deam
"Levi's selvedge made in the USA" were genuine.
A lot of such emails are of cheap Levi's that aren't counterfeited quite so often; sometimes, they're ugly Canadian Levi's that are quite as horrendous as fakes. But I especially like this pair, as they contain some of my favourite pointers.
The fabric isn't too awful. ID tag is vaguely convincing, albeit nothing like anything you'd see on old example, or LVC.
The view from the back shows nicely-shaped pockets, which have a vaguely convincing look - even though many details aren't correct, like the two-horse patch. Of course, we have the trademark 'extra selvage' on the belt loop that denote fakes. But that isn't the best bit.
My favourite fake tell-tales are always the grammatical ones. And this is a new one. Here we go: a tribute to Levi's, the All-Amerricon Icon!

Taking Care of Business: TCB jeans
I'm lucky enough, and of course old enough, to have worn dozens of beautiful selvage jeans. I've worn in original Levi's from the 50s and 60s, and from the early '90s on, many brands including Evisu, Lee, Levi's Capital E, LVC, Samurai, Full Count, Mr Freedom, Sugarcane, SDA, Roy Slaper and many more.
For many people, jeans that come close to the classic pairs of the 1950s are the ultimate holy grail. Yet this is a search that can have no final destination; the original jeans varied hugely, depending on the cotton used in a particular year, and there were countless other variables, even before we think about how a pair of jeans is worn and washed. All we can expect, in modern jeans, is an interpretation of that aesthetic; and in terms of '50s homage jeans, very different interpretations can still be very convincing.
Over recent years, the fashion for super-fast-crocking, high-contrast denim, as popularised by companies like Samurai and Ironheart, has arguably subsided in favour of more subtle, slow-wearing interpretations that evoke more closely the feel of 1950s jeans. One small maker in the forefront of this move is undoubtedly TCB.
I first heard about the brand early in 2013; I believe the company, founded by Hajime Inoue, was founded in 2012. I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a contest to wear-in a pair of 1950s models, at the beginning of 2014. Here are some photos of my pair, and how they've worn in, plus an interview with the main man himself.
This '50s pair undoubtedly rank as some of my favourite Japanese jeans; they take a long time to wear in, just like the originals, have many gradations to their fading, have some slubbing, but not too much, and via subtle features like the puckering and crinkling which is revealed as they age, just had a certain 'rightness' to them. Rock fans will know that TCB was a motto for Elvis Presley and his musicians: taking care of business. Inoue-san has done exactly that.
The' 50s pair embodies much of the TCB aesthetic – all their designs are workwear-oriented, and my favourite items include their Navy shawl-collar jacket, and the new cotton duck vest. You can check out more at TCB's blog, which more than most companies, focuses on how the jeans evolve with wear. Note these are jeans designed to be worn the old way - lots of wear, lots of washing.
My particular pair is on its home straight; the Superfuture contest concludes at the end of the month. Four out of five pockets on mine have worn through, although the knees are holding together, just. They feel like old friends, and I will miss wearing them every day.
This interview was conducted aid of Google translate; it adds a certain enigmatic, dreamy quality, but I think the sense is still there. I will add the dates later. I started wearing the jeans in September 2014.
A brief Q&A with Hajime Inoue
It was affected by a lot of people, so I can't decide on one person.
I was affected by the old clothes man's shop assistant who passed in school days and the superiors who met after I moved to Kojima, and American old movies, a Japanese drama in '90s. I think it's quite blessed with an encounter after jeans are produced.
What did you do before starting TCB?
When I was in [my] teens, I was working as a salesperson at a tailor's shop.
I was handing wonderful of the person who makes jeans (craftsman) down to a customer. I was to do daily service repeatedly, and charm to a craftsman and admiration were full. In 2000, I have begun to move to Kojima of Okayama-ken at twenty years old and work for a sewing factory.
What's your favourite 501 style? 1940s? 1950s? 1960s?
From the late 40's to '50s jeans. Because there is still an atmosphere of work clothes. Dyed fabric is darker. A thick sewing thread.
Your jeans seem to wear in like originals – traintracks on the outer seam, and the way the yoke seam crinkles when it's washed. Was that hard to achieve?
The first characteristic of TCB jeans is puckering. Please compare the [result] after having done the first wash because I set a sewing machine for cotton yarn.
Which aspects of your jeans are you proudest of?
I think that it is the most important to work at the distance that is the nearest to a craftsman.
Tell me about your workshop. Do you have many old machines?
Our products are we're good at vintage style sewing(sewing machine, Union Special.....etc). A total of about 40 units.
How do you choose the fabrics? Are they unique to TCB?
Well, that Zimbabwean cotton was used had not been decided at first. Cotton close to '50s Levi's was chosen by what I have in mind. And if the producer was checked after that, it was revealed to be a Zimbabwe [cotton]. That's the first trigger. I think the feel of a material peculiar to Zimbabwe charms a wearer.
Do you live in Kurashiki? It's a beautiful town, you're very lucky!
I'm not born in Kurashiki. I wanted to make and [the opportunity] to make jeans came in Kurashiki.
Thanks to Inoue-San for sparing some time to talk to me - and for making such beautiful workwear!

Veldtschoen in Tokyo
This is an interesting and - for me - optimistic news story from the BBC, reporting that sales of Northampton-made shoes are rising in the Far East.
We've all seen the various Tricker collabs that are popular in Japan, but it's great to see Cheaney Veldtschoen on sale in Isetan (alongside Tokyo Hands, one of my favourite shops in the world.)
Sorry, I can't embed the link, but simply click here for the video.

The Beautiful Grain: Cheaney's new Veldtschoen
Sometimes I worry I'm the only person mildly obsessed with Veldtschoen boots, but after a trip to Jermyn Street today, I didn't feel quite so lonely.
I've visited Joseph Cheaney's factory before, and while I thought their shoes were very nicely made for the price, I found their looks slightly bland and salary-man, with overdone antiquing; their Pennine Veldtschoen boots also looked slightly too pretty, with what was (to me) a slightly too red and fake-looking country grain. Yet when I visited the company's brand new store on Jermyn Street, I was faced with a Veldstchoen revelation: with a couple of design tweaks, new leathers, and the lovely new design of boot, The Fiennes, these are some of the nicest Veldstchoen boots around. Cheaney's main rival for Veldstchoen is probably Alfred Sargent, which are now getting hard to find. Even if that weren't the case, with these new tweaks I find the current Cheaney range are just as attractive. I'd say they're also more nicely constructed than Tricker's, who seem to be resting on their laurels. When I dropped into Tricker's today, they seemed casual and uninterested in their own product; the Cheaney staff at the new showroom were younger, and distinctly more knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
The Fiennes is a typical veldtschoen, with that distinctive moustache design on the side; I didn't check, but I think the commando soles are Itshide, at any rate they're British-made. The boots are padded at the top, like some of the Crocket and Jones veldt designs, and the new country grain, which comes from a new supplier in Italy, looks terrific. The overall shape is lovely; slightly sleeker than some, without a false teocap, but rugged and purposeful - sorry for the poor photos, as I only had my phone with me, the leather and the actual shape looks even more attractive in person than on these photos.
The Cairngorm, Cheaney's long-established Veldtschoen shoe, looks even better in the new leather; the bumpier finish looks a little more rugged and suits the shape much better. The same applies to the Pennine, the company's standard Veldt boot, which I've featured here before.
Price on the Fiennes is £345 - very reasonable for the quality, as these boots will last you a lifetime; I'll update with other prices soon. I've also accumulated quite a few more Veldstchoen photos since my last post on the subject, so I promise I'll do a photodump in the next few days.

Magic number: Mikiharu Tsujita and the Full Count 1108
I happened upon one of Full Count's classic designs when I was looking for a classic 60s cut; I wanted something carrot-shaped, with a distinctive taper, that I could wear short, well proud of of shoes. A friend turned me on to the 1108; a brilliant interpretation of that classic shape. The 1108 has that distinctive '60s carrot shape, but it's combined with other brilliantly subtle touches; expecially the back pockets, which I'd describe as a '40s splayed shape, with a unique, very subtle concave curve at the top. It's combined with other quite amazingly subtle touches; the stitch length on the pockets and fly is extremely short, almost like turn of the century jeans, while on the arcuate it's longer, like '60s Levi's. Some stitching, I believe, is poly cotton, for more strength, yet some is regular cotton, which wears more quickly. The fabric, too, is beautiful; only very subtle, fine irregularities which take time to come through. It captures the feel of late 40s or early 50s levi's denim perfectly, in its subtle graininess.
For all these reasons, I happened to take my own 1108, bought from Full Count's store in Harjuku, out for a walk when I wandered around Columbia Road and Brick Lane on Sunday. When I dropped in on Son of a Stag, they clocked my well-worn arse and informed me that the designer of the jeans, Mikiharu Tsujita was in town.
Miki-san is one of the key visionaries of the Osaka 5, the group of Japanese companies who revived the art of vintage denim. Staying around to ask him some questions meant that I'd be late for the Transformers movie that evening. It was a sacrifice I was prepared to make. There are a million questions I'd have liked to ask Mikiharu, but he had a busy schedule; for that reason, I thought I'd keep the questions specific to the 1108 in particular. In their own way, these lovely jeans embody the whole story of the Osaka Five.
I'd like to ask you about your 1108, which I believe is a classic design. What was the inspiratiion? Did you come from a 60s starting point, or a '40s one?
The cut is '60s. The details is 1940s, but the shape is 1960s.
Tell me about the shape of the pockets - it's curved at the top, very subtly, where did the inspiration for that come from?
My collection of vintage jeans, I noticed sometimes the shape is a bit like that, from people putting their hands in the pockets many, many times. It's not cut that way, it's the wear. It's just a small difference, not too much.
The fabric is very subtle, too; fine slubs, not too irregular. Which mill produced it?
This mill is, in Okayama, is named Shinya, a very old company, which was making denim in the 1960s. They were making fabric for Levi's in the 1960s. I found them, with my friend [Yoshiyui] Tayashi from Denime, in the early 1990s, we found them and we asked them to make denim, with the old way.
Obviously in Okayama there are a lot of the old 1920s G series Toyoda looms, then there are post war selvage looms by Toyoda and Sakamoto. How old were Shinya's looms?
It depends. One [type of loom] is for heavy fabric only. The other can make only up to 10 ounce. The [main] point is whether the person can use the machine properly or not.
So the skill of the operator is more important than which particular old loom?
A lot of the look of the denim comes from the yarns; was that hard to get right, both for these jeans and your other early models?
I wanted to make original American 40s style fabric… and Zimbabwe cotton happened to have a similar structure to American cotton in the 1940s. American cotton then was more a long staple cotton boll. [More] recently, it's one year, two [crops] so the boll is smaller. These days when they make the yarn from the cotton is much easier, it's a different technique.
Do you use Taisshobo for the yarns or is it all different spinning companies?
Different ones.
What year did you introduce the 1108?
1995. I started making [jeans] in 1992, and the 1108, the 66 model, came in 1995.
You had so many challenges to get those early jeans right. What's the next big challenge that you're working on?
Ha ha. My challenge is, other Japanese brands are making thick and strong fabric. I am still continuing this good-feeling and comfortable and nice fit jeans, it's a continuing challenge.
I'd initially misunderstood Miki-San's final answer, so I didn't quite realise that he is making a point about not producing super-heavyweight denim. We chatted while I took his photo, and he asked me what I thought about super-heavy designs. Time was short, so I compared super-heavy, super-slubby denim to Marshall amps that go up to 11. They don't actually wear any better. From his laughs, I got the impression you won't be seeing 23 ounce denim from Full Count any time soon.
Many thanks to Rudy, Max and Linda at sonofastag, which has been stocking Full Count for several years now, as part of their terrific selection of purist denim and workwear. Thanks also to Kotaro Tanaka of Full Count for his help.

"Teachers often must play the part of the pioneer if changes are to be made. Pioneers forge ahead in spite of difficulty, learning all they can before striking out for new territory. They study maps, anecdotal records, and talk to those on the edge of the frontier. They take old knowledge with them, but expect to develop new strategies, solve novel problems, create new language to describe what they see, and share what they learn with those who have not yet made the journey. Pioneers learn as they go." (Armstrong & Bezuk, 1995, p. 87)
Teachers across the world are being inspired by new digital tools to create unique and immersive classroom learning experiences, ranging from Minecraft to Portal to Civilization-inspired low-tech games and re-skinned card games, and focusing on a variety of educational topics. Each creation requires a certain amount of technological or game-design know-how, and the support systems for each vary widely. While online communities for some tools have emerged organically, each teacher beginning to build such a space starts at square one: researching the building processes in the tool, brainstorming and designing an environment that fits his or her educational objectives, building the environment or tool, implementing it in their classroom, then re-evaluating the design and – often – rebuilding. Given that teachers are passionate and dedicated but overworked, I am curating a book that will serve as a compendium of stories by teachers and for teachers, to provide guidelines and intellectual support for those interested in designing their own such learning spaces.
To submit a chapter for consideration, send the following to caro [dot] williams [at] gmail [dot] com.
UPDATE: To allow a little more time for the ICLS community receiving this CFP through the June newsletter, the final deadline for submissions will be June 30, 2014.
author list
author bios
chapter description (approximately 250-500 words), and
desired chapter format (see list below)
Notifications will be made by July 21, 2014.
Tentative timeline for submitting accepted chapters is September 30, 2014.
Each chapter must include at least one K16 teacher who has designed and implemented such a pioneering tool in their classroom. Various formats are encouraged, such as:
case studies (template here - http://www.therealca.ro/cfp-pioneers/)
a detailed focus on the game design and mechanics (template here)
narrative style explorations of your experience (template here - http://www.therealca.ro/cfp-pioneers/)
student or mentor interviews
other format ideas? Contact me! http://www.therealca.ro/contact
In general, the focus will be on a teacher guide style: make this useful to others who are interested in following your path. To that end, we encourage considerable use of graphics, sidebars, call-outs, questions, handouts, assessment items used in your classroom, etc.
The goal of this book is create the first map of these new spaces, and to share the new problems, strategies, language, and exciting discoveries with other teachers who wish to be pioneers as well.
Contact me if you are a K-16 teacher who builds digital content, or low-tech classroom content inspired by digital tools, and interested in contributing!
Note re: Editorial Guidance:
For those who aren't very familiar with writing chapters, I'm happy to provide both big-picture feedback and detailed editing as many times as you like. Let's get your story out there!
