Denim has always been an undisputed fashion staple, but it seems over the past few years designers have gotten more creative making the fabric even more modern, versatile and desirable to the American consumer than we could have dreamed ( you can finally satisfy your need for a fresh kimono and denim in one purchase). Denim has covered the the runway, been splashed across the newsstands (Marie Claire, Nylon, etc.) and swallowed the streets. With the beginning of autumn on our heels fall denim hysteria is fully underway and if you haven't heard of Natasha Wagner yet, well, it was only a matter of time.
Fit models are used by designers to check the cut and shape of clothing on a live model and make adjustments before being introduced to the market. Your favorite pair of jeans hug you in all the right places and stretch with your movements thanks to fit models. Natasha is a denim fit model who has been unofficially dubbed the "Best Butt In America" by the denim industry. She has been featured in Vogue and Refinery29. She has been a denim fit model for over a decade for all the biggest names in denim (like Seven For All Mankind). We recently had a great opportunity to get to know the model better firsthand. America, meet Natasha Wagner. Read our interview below.

When did you start fit modeling? How did you begin to specialize in denim in your career?
My fit modeling career began 14 years ago while I was studying in college. I feel very fortunate I fell into this line of work because it has become my true passion. When I first started fit modeling, I was young, shy, and knew nothing about fashion. I began specializing in fitting denim because denim companies really liked my body proportions and height. I was slender yet curvy with long legs. Denim was also what I enjoyed fitting the most. I became an expert at measurements and detail proportions. Fittings can be long and boring if you're just standing there while someone is pinning and making changes, so I decided to take a more active role. I loved learning about the denim making process and was able to become involved and provide useful feedback, beyond just standing like a mannequin. I also have an uncanny ability to remember numbers (something I inherited from my father, along with his long legs) and can remember most of the measurements of all the garments we fit, which helps when establishing target specs. Not to worry though, I am very professional and never share trade secrets with other companies.
What was the first major denim brand you modeled for?
My first major denim account was the brand GUESS. My career in premium denim really skyrocketed a couple years later when I started fitting for Seven For All Mankind. It was perfect timing because I had just graduated from college and was able to take on more work, even though I was already taking mostly night classes to accommodate my fit schedule during the day. It was also the beginning of the premium denim boom and I was able play a role in its success; it was all about the fit.
Do you have any experience modeling or fitting raw denim?
Yes, I do have experience fitting raw denim (aka untreated, unwashed denim). Some companies use raw denim to create a fit block first. They then use that block as a base to cut the other jeans. Those jeans are then sent to the laundry to have the different washes they developed for the season, allowing them to have samples jeans ready to fit. Most of my companies do not produce just a raw jean, as cool as they are; they just aren't comfortable to wear, especially for women. However, if you do have the time and patience to break in your own raw jeans, you can get the best denim character and effects that you created all yourself.

What is your favorite denim trend right now? What trend do you think will become big next season/over the next few years?
My favorite denim trend right now is the 70's inspired jeans and details: high-waisted, braided waistbands with front patch pockets in a flare leg or skirt. I think for the upcoming seasons the palazzo pants, culottes and flares are going to make the biggest statement in fashion denim.
What is your favorite cut?
I'm the girl who said I would never wear skinny jeans. Now, I will probably be the last one to stop wearing skinny jeans.
I'm sure you are familiar with all the big brands today, but we have a flare for nostalgia here at Denim Therapy. What brands were you wearing in high school?
In high school during the late 90's, I was wearing low rise, bootcut jeans made by Gap, L.E.I, Mavi, or Z. Cavaricci that barely covered my Converse Jack Purcell sneakers.
We have a lot of customers shyly referring to some holes as being in the "inner thigh" or "groin area" but we just say crotch! So we have to ask: butt or bum? Is there a formal or correct industry term?
I'm a little shy about using the word "butt" myself, but I find it necessary when describing my work. On a daily basis when fitting, I hear these comments: "This makes her butt look big." "This makes her butt look flat." "Her butt looks weird"." "Her butt looks amazing!" I think those comments answers your question on the industry term. I personally like the French word for behind, derrière, over the words butt or bum.

Let's not forget the brain behind the bum! What books are you reading right now?
I just finished the book Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull, the president of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, about running creative companies and breaking barriers. I discovered this book on Mark Zuckerberg's Year of Books list, which I also recommend. I am starting the book NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman, which is about autism and Asperger's syndrome. I picked it up after hearing the author on NPR while I was driving home from work. I'm interested in learning more about the brain and the growing autism epidemic.
What are your goals for the future? Where would you like to see your career 5 years from now?
This is a question I ask myself everyday to make sure that I am achieving my goals and allowing them to shift accordingly. I would love to write a novel, loosely inspired by my life as a fit model as well as other personal experiences. I think I have an inspiring and interesting story to tell about a previously insecure girl who never thought she would become the most in-demand denim fit model in a multi-billion dollar industry. Don't worry colleagues, friends and family; the book will be mostly fiction. Five years from now, I hope I am doing what I do now or something more creative and fashion related.

We knew Mr.Harrell's jeans long before we met the man inside of them. His love of preserving vintage denim brought many pairs of his into our hands. It was through this mutual passion that at long last we were able to meet Donwan. We recently had the opportunity to visit his studio in midtown and talk shop.
Harell's strong taste for nostalgia makes him our kind of designer. He has amassed an impressive denim collection over the years, as well as stacks of Japanese denim magazines, action figures and American ephemera. He has a particular penchant for vintage Lee's. While talking in his office we learned that JCPenney had its own selvedge brand called Ranch Craft that copycatted Lee's. Thinking back to a time when department stores carried their own selvedge lines kind of blew our minds.
When we arrived at his office his crew was getting ready for trunk shows in Vegas. We got a glimpse of the new PRPS line at Liberty Fairs and we got an even better peek of the new PRPS Noir line at his studio. The washes Harrell designs are inspired by real pairs of old jeans. PRPS stands for purpose. Harrell strives to mimic the personality of aged jeans, mimicking the tiniest flecks of oil to stress marks all derived from the original purpose of workwear, from real movements of auto mechanics on their knees or painters on scaffolding.
The designer in his element.

The Denim Therapy team's Market Week tour continued at Liberty Fairs held at Pier 94. The space was enormous with over one hundred booths to cover. We scoured the long aisles and prioritized. Our top priority? Denim. Our featured picks from the show are all Japanese and American brands including Feltraiger, Kato and Fullcount.
Feltraiger is a Brooklyn-based brand focused on making products you can pass down from generation to generation. Their customer base ranges from hardcore motorcyclists to anyone inspired by American subcultures of the 20th century. Feltraiger's new Core collection features their bestselling basics. We're fans of the Destitute Vest in indigo available for Fall 2015.

Kato jeans are made of Japanese denim, designed in Kyoto, and manufactured in Los Angeles. Kato was started by Hiroshi Kato in 1996 and has become one of our favorites. We favor the immaculate construction and details such as the diagonal belt loop and selvedge coin pocket. Highlights from the Spring 2016 line are the 13 oz. Raw Slim jean and a 7 oz Shawl Collar Blazer. Their leather patch has also been updated for the first time since the brand's inception.
Perfect distressing detail on the hem of the shawl-style blazer lapel.
Fullcount denim is made in Okayama mills in Japan and was one of the first brands to start using Zimbabwe cotton back in 1992. Fullcount is here to stay, check out a peak of their Spring 2016 offerings below.

Last week at Project we had the chance to stop by the Jean Shop booth. Read on and check out the photos to see what we gleaned from our quick encounter during our preview of their Spring 2016 collection.
Conversations with denim heads combined with our intuition tells us that overalls and coveralls are going to make a strong comeback next year. Below is a prototype of a potential piece.
The personal touch of patches and repairs is timeless and certainly not going out of style any time soon. We saw extreme distressing, apparent darning, and patches galore during Market Week.
We strongly approve of the women's denim vest in Jean Shop's Spring 2016 collection.
We are always excited to see selvedge denim crossing into the women's market. The Jean Shop Spring 2016 women's selvedge shorts are kind of fulfilling our fantasies. We can only imagine the coolest of babes rocking orange selvedge shorts in the summer heat.

A great styling suggestion after our own hearts from Jean Shop: denim on denim on denim. Triple the denim triple the fun.

If you think your closet might need a little European boost this Spring, look no further than the gorgeous Italian designs of Nine in the Morning. Giving us some of their most perfectly fitted, sexy denim yet, it's easy to see that owners and brothers Umberto and Alessandro Vendramin came from a long line of luxury textilers. This season's lookbook features looser-fitting, paint-splattered jeans for both men and women, as well as dark-wash, super tight women's jeans that appear to be stretchy enough to do yoga in. Seriously, could these jeans fit any better? We think not.[nggallery id=835]

There aren't a lot of people who can say they see and touch as many pairs of jeans as the girls in the Denim Therapy office in midtown Manhattan, so for them to be able to put on a pair and declare a fit, feel, or brand their "favorite" is a pretty big deal. That's why, when Renee and Sarah showed up to work, both sporting their current top choice for trousers, they knew they had to tell us about them. Right now, Renee is in love with her high-wasted, dark-wash Doctrine duds, while Sarah finds any excuse to wear her bright green, mid-rise, cigarette BGDs (and that includes Halloween trivia night, where her green legs completed her T-Rex costume). Read on to find out why these jeans made the cut!
What was your first thought when you tried them on?
Renee: Woah, that's a high rise!
Sarah: I wish they weren't so long, but everything else is so perfect!
Where/when would you wear these?
Renee: These are definitely day to night jeans. The wash is solid and dark, they're trendy, and versatile. I can wear them with a tucked in button down, a flowy shirt, or a cropped sweater.
Sarah: All of the time. I've had them for two weeks and the knees are already starting to fade. The color somehow seems to go with everything.
How's the fit?
Renee: The high waist is super flattering! Which isn't always the case (I admittedly can't always fill out the butt in my jeans). But Doctrine added some extra tailoring above the pockets and at the waist to create a smooth shape. The fabric is also thick and has a good amount of stretch.
Sarah: The waist is possibly the best fitting waist I've ever had in any pant, ever. The butt's pretty great too.

We love to travel, and we love denim. So it only makes sense that we'd brush up on ways to say "jeans" the world over, so that we may inquire with locals in various countries as per where to score some international denim. Going somewhere soon? Take a look at this list below for a rundown of languages and the translation of the J word.
In Greek jeans are known as τζίν.
Editor's note: One of our Greek friends suggests "τζινς or τζινζ" instead.
In Bulgarian jeans are known as дънки (Bulgarian transliteration of donkey, but perhaps from English "dungarees").
In Chinese niuzaiku (SC: 牛仔裤, TC: 牛仔褲), literally, "cowboy pants" (trousers), indicating their association with the American West, cowboy culture, and outdoors work.
In Danish cowboybukser meaning "cowboy pants".
In Dutch, jeans are often known as 'spijkerbroek' meaning "nail trousers", referring to the copper studs on riveted jeans.
In Finnish, jeans are usually known as "farkut", short for "farmarihousut" ("farmer's trousers" in English.)
In Hungarian name for jeans is "farmer" (short for "farmernadrág", meaning "farmer's trousers").
In Korean, jeans are known as "cheong baji" (청바지), meaning "blue trousers".
In Norwegian "dongeribukse" or "olabukse". "Dongeri" is adapted from English "dungaree," and "bukse" is Norwegian for "pants". The prefix Ola is used to describe the average Norwegian person. According to the Norwegian Language Council, the term "olabukse" was coined by Tor Wessel Kildal, when introducing jeans to Norwegian consumers, targeting young males (10-12 years).
In Puerto Rican Spanish as mahones.
In Serbian jeans are known as "фармерке" or "farmerke" (Serbian transliteration of farmer's trousers).
In Spanish they are mostly known as jeans, but are also called vaqueros ("cowboys") or tejanos ("Texans").
In Arabic they are pronounced as English but in Arabic letters جينز
In Turkish as "kot"
In Polish as "dżins" pronounced like in English
In Slovak language as džínsy
In Russian as "джинсы"
In Slovene (or Slovenian) "jeans" are called normally: kavbojke (which comes from kavboj (Engl.: cowboy), so the "trousers worn by cowboys"), or also džins. ** Reader submission from Sara

Education (Vidhya) is the best wealth among all the wealth anyone can have.
However reality is bleak, Education as an asset is seldom a privilege that many girls in our country receive. They are confined to hosehold chores and are married off early. Recently watching a video of Malala, I was reminded of my childhood where my parents priority was education, not just for me, my brother and sister also for the entire community that we lived in the industrial neighborhood in Bangalore, Their minimal qualification did not stop them fromchanging hundreds of lives who now lead a dignified life because of Education, whose life otherwisewould have been uncertain.Growing up in such an environment helped me to understand the 'importance of education' Andthe reason behind establishing SUKRUPA – to nurture and cater to underprivileged children.
As we all know empowering a woman is empowering a family, it starts with providing strong education to the girl child!!! for their secured life and for their individual identity. Education is the only solution!!!.
As Malala Says "One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world".To become a change agentSponsor a Girl Child at SUKRUPA Today. There are 185 Girl Children waiting for your sponsorship each one them with the possibility of becoming global citizens with quality education.

Estimating Compensating Wage Differentials from Worker Mobility
We estimate the effects of the implementation of a compulsory work injury insurance in Sweden in 1978 on compensating wage differentials. This involves two steps. First, we investigate if there are compensating wage differentials on the Swedish labor market and second, we assess if these were altered by the reform. We use panel data for the period 1970 to 1990 with annual information for a sample of blue collar workers. The econometric model departs from the worker's job mobility decision. Endogeneity, selection and measurement errors of risk exposure are considered in the estimation. The estimates show significant compensating wage differentials for work-related diseases in the female sub-sample. No significant effect of the reform was found.

i'm seeing 3 - 5 second delays between when the browser window first appears (no content, 1 empty blank tab) and when all my app tabs and the rest of my tabs become visible.
digging into it a bit, the delay is from when session restore creates all my tabs via tabbrowser.addTab().
in my session, i have 364 tabs, but only ~60 are in the active tab group.
perhaps addTab should lazily create the DOM for hidden tabs, or something like that?
> perhaps addTab should lazily create the DOM for hidden tabs, or something
> like that?
addTab doesn't even know they're going to be hidden and even if it did, it would probably have to set them up in order to not confuse other code dealing with tabs.
Dao, do you have any ideas for how to reduce the amount of time involved in tab creation?
Depends on what exactly is taking time here. Presumably it's not just the DOM. Perhaps we could hide the tab bar before adding the tabs and show it afterwards?
Hm, interesting idea, thanks. Might result in a jumpy effect, but that's likely more desirable than multi-second non-responsive periods.
Temporarily hiding the tab bar while adding the blank tabs reduced the time from ~4 seconds to ~1.5 seconds consistently in my tests.
Interestingly, the tab bar stayed visible the entire time.
using .hidden gets us the win, but definitely breaks something. switching tabs is pretty broken after the restore.
using .collapsed doesn't get us any win at all, but doesn't break anything.
errors when switching tabs after making tab bar hidden and then unhidden.

Another option would be to not add hidden tabs so eagerly in the first place. nsSessionStore.js would be in charge of this.

Per the discussion in bug 681201, there could a major compat issue. It's not clear though that it is.
I'm not familiar with how hidden tabs were implemented in tabbrowser though - are they reported by tabbrowser.tabs.length, etc?
Yes, for most purposes "hidden" tabs (those in other panorama groups) are only hidden visually, they're still in .tabs/.browers etc. .visibleTabs was a new property introduced to provide access to only visible tabs.
Some options:
* about:unrestored - does even less than about:blank. tabbrowser handles it special, doing no navigation at all, just loading a src-less <browser>. might reduce problem, but won't resolve it.
* lazy-load and lazy-create the actual tab containers, browsers, etc on access. that way the numbers report correctly, but the objects aren't created until used. requires mock versions of a bunch of tabbrowser properties. probably a rat's nest of complexity.
* treat hidden tabs as non-existent in tabbrowser's public api. doesn't really break compat for some use-cases. surely does for others. but doesn't break code.
Dietrich is this a dupe of bug 681201?
(In reply to Taras Glek (:taras) from comment #13)
> Dietrich is this a dupe of bug 681201?
No. This is about startup time specifically, and about hidden tabs. That bug is about memory usage, and for unrestored tabs of any kind.
That said, the work to fix one may affect the other.

Feels like a dupe to me. Mike does mention startup lag in
Marking it as a P2 in case you still think it's not a dupe.
This is about hidden tabs. Those that are hidden away in Panorama groups.

And this just makes me hate compilers. :(

/Mozilla/mozilla-central/content/base/src/nsGenericElement.cpp:4581: warning: 'valueMatches' may be used uninitialized in this function
Why is that an else if rather than an if, though?

No idea.

> And this just makes me hate compilers. :(
You didn't before? Not much to do about it, I'm afraid.
Worksforme over here, with gcc 4.2 on mac... I'd really not add more code to this codepath if we can avoid it; it's kinda perf-sensitive. And in this case, the analysis that valueMatches is always set should be trivial for the compiler. I generally object to working around this known gcc bug.
> Why is that an else if rather than an if, though?
Because if both are true we don't want to do the work twice.
> No idea.
OK. It's not a huge deal unlike the SetAttr thing, since this isn't perf-sensitive, but it's weird to have to add it, since all codepaths obviously init it.
(In reply to comment #5)
> > Why is that an else if rather than an if, though?
> Because if both are true we don't want to do the work twice.
Of course. What I actually meant to ask is "Why is that an else if rather than an *else*".
It could be an else, with an assert. Does that make the warning go away?

It does.

Also, do both patches actually need review? Or just the second one?

Just the latter. I'll just put bug 639849 below this one in my queue when I next rebase.

Whoa, PRBool was broken (could assert erroneously on 64-bit OS)! Possibly void* would have worked. Issue with !! is that this is debug code so the compiler doesn't get to optimise it away.

I don't particularly like the random PRBool -> bool changes, but no need to change those.

We'll need to add things to the unlink, so would be better to not remove it now.
Looks like the recent CC changes removed that code.

Trademark Class 16: Paper Goods
Choose Class 16 if you are registering a trademark for paper, cardboard, books, and similar products
Class 16 includes paper, cardboard and goods made from these materials. Class 16 is one of 45 classes used by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) when grouping products or services.
Examples of trademarks in Class 16 include:
TEACHING TREE (bookmarks and computer paper), THE WASHINGTON TIMES (newspapers), LOYALTYONE (marketing newsletter), GRUNGEPAPER (Synthetic paper).
You would choose Class 16 if you were registering any of these types of goods:
- Paper, cardboard and goods made from these materials, not included in other classes;
- printed matter; bookbinding material; photographs; stationery;
- adhesives for stationery or household purposes;
- artists' materials; paint brushes;
- typewriters and office requisites (except furniture);
- instructional and teaching material (except apparatus);
- plastic materials for packaging (not included in other classes); printers' type; printing blocks.
For a complete listing of all goods in Class 16, see below.
You would NOT use Class 16 if you were registering:
- colors (Class 2 - Paints);
- hand tools for artists (for example, spatulas, sculptors' chisels) (Class 8 - Hand Tools).
Related (Coordinated) Classes
If you are not sure whether you should register in Class 16, you might also consider the following "coordinated" classes: Class 9 - Computers and Scientific Devices, Class 35 - Advertising and Business Services, Class 41 - Education and Entertainment Services, Class 42 - Science and Technology Services. A coordinated class is one that is related to another class, usually because the USPTO has determined that applicants filing within Class 16 often file in the coordinated classes, too.
Why use the class system? Trademark registration is based on a class system. For each class of goods or services that you register, you must pay a separate registration fee. So if you apply for a trademark for posters (Class 16) and shirts (Class 25), you must pay two fees. You must indicate the correct class at the time you are registering a trademark. If you list the incorrect class, you must start the application process over. Your registrations are restricted to those classes that encompass the goods or services you are already offering (as shown by the specimens you submit) or that you plan to offer (if you are registering on an intent-to-use basis). You may also need information about the class number in order to narrow a search of the USPTO's trademark database.
Specimens for Class 16
If the mark is used in commerce, you must furnish a specimen of the mark as consumers see it. The specimen must show the mark as used on or in connection with the goods in commerce. A trademark specimen should be a label, tag, or container for the goods, or a display associated with the goods. A photocopy or other reproduction of a specimen of the mark as actually used on or in connection with the goods is acceptable.
In most cases, where the trademark is applied to the goods or the containers for the goods in Class 16 by means of labels, a label is an acceptable specimen. Shipping or mailing labels may be accepted if they are affixed to the goods or to the containers for the goods and if proper trademark usage is shown. They are not acceptable if the mark as shown is merely used as a trade name and not as a trademark. An example of this is the use of the term solely as a return address.
Stamping a trademark on the goods, on the container, or on tags or labels attached to the goods or containers, is a proper method of trademark affixation. The trademark may be imprinted in the body of the goods, as with metal stamping; it may be applied by a rubber stamp; or it may be inked on by using a stencil or template. When a trademark is used in this manner, photographs or facsimiles showing the actual stamping or stenciling are acceptable as specimens.
The terminology "applied to the containers for the goods" means applied to any type of commercial packaging that is normal for the particular goods as they move in trade. Thus, a showing of the trademark on the normal commercial package for the particular Class 16 goods is an acceptable specimen. For example, gasoline pumps are normal containers or "packaging" for gasoline.
A specimen showing use of the trademark on a vehicle in which the goods are marketed to the relevant purchasers may constitute use of the mark on a container for the goods, if this is the normal mode of use of a mark for the particular goods

How You Can Finance Flipping Property.
Flipping rentals are a real estate venture and just like any other business may requires financing when creating provides and purchasing home to flip. What you ought to understand is where you are going to get money to invest in your flip.
There are a number of ways of funding a flip house and you'll want to learn exactly what way doe's functions the very best for you personally.
1. Private Cash loan companies in Malaysia tend to be everyplace and are people who are expert in financing money for any useful endeavor. Money Loan companies loan cash on a short-term foundation with a higher rate of interest associated with return. Financing of the type is ideal for flipping real estate as long as you pay back the borrowed funds in a timely fashion. The down-side of this type of funding is you cannot wait too long with regard to disposing off the home.
If a house dose not really market within the time specified, normally 8 weeks and often longer with respect to the more knowledge about your own lender, may cause you a severe monetary load.
2. Bank loans are loans given by the banking institution that use your own previous a good credit score background into account. These loans can also be found on the web. With this kind mortgage you will simply end up being acquiring an 80% area of the amount of the requested loan, which would place you in a situation to find further help in acquiring another 20 % of the cash required.
3. Selling real estate that will offer you a land contract purchase is the best possible way and is determined by situations. The seller in this type scenario would finance the house for you the buyer and turn over the title of the house for you only if the repayment happen to be compensated entirely and any additional agreements, or obligations met.
I'd guidance you to definitely completely disclose your intention towards the owner of the land contract in case of any implications later on when you switch the home.
Most sellers will not mind since you tend to be investing in their property and can lose any payments, or even enhancements towards the property you have made in the event you fall behind.
Your vendor can also generate a escrow accounts in which you repay the borrowed funds to the vendor using a 3rd party. A Escrow accounts is usually to your advantage, because it may think about your credit rating along with credit agencies, whereas financed with the owner will not.
4. Cost, or credit cards would be the simplest and you'll discover this as the perfect method to financial your home switch project.
You can use charge cards to invest in your own switch through $10,Thousand in order to $25,Thousand per each greeting card. You can buy as well as perform repairs towards the home as well as pay the charge cards away inside Six months, having to pay curiosity around the principal. Nevertheless, you should try and flip your property sooner in order to release your credit card liability to create more money flow upon offers that come along being an unpredicted chance.

Career Counseling by Mark L. Savickas
Book DescriptionIn "Career Counseling", Dr. Mark Savickas demonstrates his narrative counseling method for helping clients to fit work into their lives, rather than fit themselves to jobs. This approach looks at a client's life as a "novel being written," and it emphasizes recurring themes that reveal how the client uses work to advance his or her life projects. The career construction theory of vocational development and career counseling, simply stated, holds that individuals build their careers by imposing meaning on vocational behavior. Personality types and developmental transitions deal with what a person has done and how they have done it. However, they do not address the question of why they do what they do, nor do they focus on the spirit that animates nor the values that guide the manifold choices and adjustments that build a career.

Within the next two months, the choice of UK-based online brokerages is likely at least to double. However, you will still be able to count the number of UK brokers with Internet trading systems on your fingers, compared with the 100-plus in the US.
Some of these US services have aspirations beyond being stockbrokers, running electronic communications networks to compete with the established markets such as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq-Amex. However, virtually all the online services on either side of the Atlantic are execution- only.
The independent private client brokerage Killik & Co aims to offer the UK's first online advisory service. Killik is currently testing its online trading facility, which includes an on-screen click button that will get a broker to call you if you need to speak to one. This service is due in July.
In the last week Merrill Lynch, the biggest private client brokerage in the US, unveiled its plans for an online dealing service. However, while Merrill Lynch's service is pitched to compete directly with that offered by Charles Schwab, it is of no benefit to us in the UK. The company says the earliest it is likely to consider taking on foreign private clients over the Internet is the end of this year.
Despite this and the discouraging response I received from many US brokers, which I commented on last week, there are some who are prepared to deal for you. Among them is Ameritrade - all you pay is a flat fee of $8 for online trades, regardless of deal dimensions.
Aside from whether you think share prices in the US are overvalued, there are a couple of pluses to investing on Wall Street and one significant minus. Let's take the bad news first: currency risk. You earn your hard- earned money in pounds sterling. To invest in US shares you need to change it into US dollars. This leaves you open to the danger that any appreciation in the value of your investment could be more than wiped out by an adverse movement in the sterling/ dollar exchange rate.
If you are prepared to take that risk, there are benefits to be enjoyed. Among them, your dealing costs will be much lower. Uncle Sam does not charge stamp duty on share transactions and bid/offer spreads (the difference between the price at which you buy and sell shares) tend to be much smaller in US shares than they are in the UK.
You will not be able to open an account with Ameritrade online, although you may request account-opening details from the broker's website. Still, you will receive a package of forms and information by mail for you to fill in and return.
One of the most important pieces of paper you need to deal with if you are going to invest in US shares this way is a W-8 form, which identifies you to the US Internal Revenue Service as a non-US resident and, therefore, exempt from paying US taxes.
Return these forms and the broker will open an account for you. Get your bank to transfer funds into your trading account and Wall Street is yours for the taking - maybe.

In case you missed it, let me draw this to your attention... check this out... "A punchy mix of skanking reggae, tongue-in-cheek techno and retro hiphop, this five-track EP from Auckland's Pete McLennan arrives just in time for summer. The horn-heavy title track is a soulful speaker-shaker of rare brilliance, while Smash Thru with MC Kyla brings a bulging trunk of funk to the party. Shake that hotel room indeed!" - Grant Smithies, Sunday Star Times, Nov 16, 2008

"I'm a strange dude. My life is very unusual. I mean, I think if you were to walk down the street in Denver and take a poll of the first hundred people you saw, I would be surprised if more than two had any idea who I was. But at the same time, I was recently portrayed by Sir Ben Kingsley in a video. That's fucking weird." Ian MacKaye's current solo tour isn't musical, and true to form, it breaks with convention. He's dropping by various bookstores, high schools and colleges for Q&A sessions, or, as he calls them, "public interviews." Link
He's not promoting a book or a new album , he's just going out and having unfiltered conversations with his audience. Genius.
Spotted at WFMU's blog, very entertaining.
"... Inside my (used) copy of the first Celibate Rifles LP, I found a hand written note from their guitar player, which he'd clearly left for the first owner of the album after crashing with her on an early U.S. tour. It thanks her ("Judy", I think) for her hospitality, graciousness, and for introducing them to The Long Ryders and the Dream Syndicate. (I'm guessing Judy lived in L.A. and unloaded her LP collection on a trip to San Francisco, as I purchased the record at Amoeba Records some years ago.)
You ever found anything like that?

"For Beatles fans around the world, it has gained near-mythical status. The 14-minute improvised track was recorded in 1967 and played once in public. It was never released on record because three of the Fab Four thought it too adventurous.
Paul McCartney: "I said to the guys, this is a bit indulgent but would you mind giving me 10 minutes, I've been asked to do this thing. All I want you to do is just wander round all of the stuff and bang it, shout, play it. It doesn't need to make any sense. Hit a drum, wander to the piano, hit a few notes ... and then we put a bit of echo on it. It's very free." Yes, they did inhale. Way more on some days than others, apparently... Link
Cheer yourself up with these splendid tunes...
WAR - Spill The Wine / Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady / The Meters - Ease Back / The Blackbyrds - Rock Creek Park over here, and this gem from Rare Earth, the only successful white band on Motown... "This version of the Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losing You" has it all — driving wah-wah guitar, trippy slide guitar, echoed vocals, extended high-hat drum breaks, killer conga lines and some cookin' Hammond organ.ot surprisingly, it was produced by the great Norman Whitfield. The single edit reached No. 7 in the pop charts in the summer of 1970 … one spot higher than the Tempts' version at this time of year in 1966."Get it here.

James Brown -I got the feelin' DVD out now. Soulsides has a clip from it here.
"I Got the Feelin': James Brown In the '60s, a 3-DVD set comprised of two concerts (Boston Gardens, 4/5/68 & the Apollo Theater, 3/68), plus a documentary, The Night James Brown Saved Boston.
The latter is in reference to one of the astounding cultural moments of the turbulent late '60s: the day after MLK's assassination, Brown came to Boston and it was decided that not only would the show go on, but WGBH would broadcast the show throughout the city as a way to "keep the peace." To that degree, it was successful as Boston did not suffer the same levels of rioting or arrests as other major American cities."

A couple of harp guitars (the baroque axe Robbie Robertson played in The Last Waltz), a 19th-century varietal, and electric guitars with Hello Kitty stickers, oddly popular with young boys."

One word Stevie review - DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNN!!!!!!
a few more words on Stevie......
8.45 pm, the lights suddenly go off in Vector Arena, and Stevie comes out to his 11 piece band grooving on a laid-back funky version of a Miles Davis tune (All Blues), and he's playing harmonica as lead and it's wicked. Then it was off into Master Blaster, Stevie flips a verse and sings about Obama, and kills it. And he's only two songs in. Damn, this is gonna be good. Gotta say, the sound was really good - bit muddly in the bottom end, but you could hear everything.
After a few more songs, the pattern of the evening is set - funky song, slow song, funky song, slow song. Was talking after with a friend, and we both noticed that his slow ballads seem to get big cheers of recognition from the crowd right from the opening bars, but we didn't even know the songs in question. Maybe I gotta study up on Stevie ballads? Pass.
You want songs? Okay, we had Higher Ground, Superstition, Sir Duke, I Wish, Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing, Signed Sealed Delivered, Living For The City.... plus some cheese -I just called to say I love you, My Cherie Amour... those two, everyone in the place sang every word. Who knew that Stevie's 80s cheese was his most popular stuff? Probably every karaoke bar in the country. Heard from a friend in London that at a show he did there earlier this year after a 10 year absence he felt compelled to close that show with a 10 min medley of ALL his cheesy hits. Glad he skipped that one tonight.
Question - why do people feel compelled to text during a concert? I was seated up near the back, and was looking down at the main floor seating, here, approximately 40-50 cellphones were glowing in the dark at any one time (yeah, I counted em - nerd). Maybe we need to ban cellphones from concerts so that people pay attention?
At one point in the evening, I was grooving out to Stevie dropping the 2nd chorus of Higher Ground, and looked over at the young guy sitting two seats over from me - he was head down, intently texting. Why would you choose to do that, when one of the greatest musicians alive today is onstage RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU dropping a stone-cold classic? That's is just deeply wrong.
My better half suggested that it's this mass neurosis, that people think there's something better happening somewhere else, and you have to find out where that is. Put that phone away, and be in the moment. It took Stevie 21 years to return to our shores, and he might not come back again. Rant over.
During one slow number, Stevie did his talking to the crowd about needing love in our hearts, and peace and unity and other hippie sentiments, but then he got onto talking about how things have got to change, and that's why he's voting yes for Obama (cue crowd cheers). Stevie said "you know, a lotta people say 'oh, but you're just voting for him just cos he's black', and well, to me, McCain and Obama look exactly the same. But that's just, some people get stuck on stupid. So, when you're watching TV or reading the papers, and people are going on about stuff, just say to yourself, Dont Get Stuck On Stupid. Can you say that for me?"And we all said it for Stevie. Cos that's damn good advice in an election year.
He introduced his daughter Aisha (one of the four backup singers), sang Happy Birthday (his Martin Luther King Jr tribute) for one of his other singers cos it was her birthday (she got cake onstage too); some local contest winner came out and sang with him. Stevie also threw in a medley of some of his fave tunes, like Heard it on the grapevine, Papa was a rolling stone, More bounce to the ounce (Zapp!!!!) and Billie Jean, all done thru a talkbox. That was cool and all, but he's got a deep catalogue to trawl thru. Play your own stuff! And don't make us sing it for you! Hate that.
Early in the show, Stevie took a moment to pay tribute to Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops, who passed away last week. Stevie told us that Stubbs taught him a lot about singing, helped him out, sang on Uptight, and so Stevie sang a Four Tops song for him - I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch). His band delivered it with style - they were a stellar lineup of unknown musicians (although Stevie did have the incredible talents of Mr Nathan Watts on bass, who goes back to Stevie's classic 70's albums. When he jammed out on the last part of I Wish, it was jaw-droppingly good).
Stevie closed with As, one of my fave tunes of his, and then he was gone, after over two and a half hours onstage. The house lights came on, we filed out, and I ended up bumping into a bunch of fellow BaseFM DJs outside, all still buzzing. Daaaammmnnnn!!!!
He said he's going to come back soon. Don't miss it.
ADDED Official reviews from NZ Herald's Scott Kara, and Waikato Times' Jeff Neems, both very positive. Both got the Miles Davis song wrong - the album is called Kind of Blue, the song is All Blues. [But I got the second song title wrong - it wasnt Hotter than July, it was Master blaster, which features the lyric hotter than July]
Bonus - Stevie Wonder on Sesame St (1970s), dropping Superstition - wait for the end where he starts singing about Sesame Street. Love this clip. Link

Worth a read, in, light of recent events here with Real Groovy. Heard that the Wellington shop has been sold, deal close for Chch. Any word on AK store?
"If somebody said to me, 'I'm opening a record store in 2009,' I would look at them like they were out of their damn mind! After 15 years of successful business I'm at square one," Smith says. "Starting over now doesn't make sense."
But Levin repeatedly stresses the importance of fostering a local community when milling over the loss of Earwax and the ominous threat of encroaching chain stores.
"You have to buy local," he says. "If you want your potholes fixed and the police to come when you're in danger, you have to put your money where your house is." Link. Hat tip to Coolfer.

Immediate highlights - Seun Kuti, and Dengue Fever. Check Graham Reid's Elsewhere blog for detailed notes on performers, plus soundbites.
One of my favourite vinyl purchases this year has been a 12 by re-edit master Shoes, who chopped and diced up some Miles Davis into several musical flavours, including a dub version of So What (audio snippets here). Dub-Miles is some sweet tasting ish, I'm telling ya. Horrifies the jazz purists too, which is always a good thing - screw the purists. On the same tip...
"Apple Juice Kid is foremost a drummer from Chapel Hill NC however he's shining as a producer and versatility is the best way to describe him from crunk, R&B, reggae dancehall and he even drops some downtempo, electronic jazz in there, he's one of those producers we should pay attention to."
Get Miles Remixed by the Apple Juice Kid over here.
Shout to Charizma on BaseFM for dropping it.

Click here to listen to an excellent interview that aired recently on National Radio with Rodriguez, where he talks about being rediscovered 38 years after his first album. He even knows we say 'mate' down here! What a dude.
From Light in the Attic records, who have reissued his music..
"Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was born in 1942 to Mexican immigrant parents in Detroit, Michigan. He recorded Cold Fact - his debut album - in 1969, and released it in March 1970. It's crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late '60s inner-city America. "Gun sales are soaring/Housewives find life boring/Divorce the only answer/Smoking causes cancer," says the Dylan-esque Establishment Blues.
But the album sank without trace, thanks, in part, to some of Rodriguez's more idiosyncratic behaviour, like performing at an industry showcase with his back to the audience throughout. Cold Fact producer Mike Theodore remembers how he would only play at "hooker bars, inner city dives, and biker bars." When the follow-up, 1972's Coming From Reality, also tanked, Rodriguez called an end to his recording career. He'd never even played a proper gig. And he got on with life. Over the years, he turned his hand to local politics, philosophy, a job in a petrol station and, eventually, hard labour." Link.

Here's a snip of what Kiwi's Coco Solid and Will Ricketts (Phoenix Foundation) are experiencing as participants in the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona.
"So I'm peering through the glass into a studio decked out with priceless ex-BBC vintage mics, where Jamaican reggae legends Sly & Robbie, along with their aging but still ludicrously capable band, are jamming out a dub rhythm, occasionally accompanied by the excitable vocals of upcoming Croydon MC GoldieLocks. Nodding appreciatively next to me is Mala from Brixton dubstep posse Digital Mystikz, while plugging in the cables is one of the men behind the greatest drum'n'bass tune of all time, Ganja Kru's DJ Zinc. This is the bizarre scenario conjured up by the Red Bull Music Academy–a kind of fantasy band camp for technoheads that's been taking place in Barcelona for the last month. " Link. Video here.
Another band playing at the CMJ Fest is the Phenomenal Handclap Band - I posted a link to their tune 'Testimony' a while back (grab it here) - played that song on my radio show on BaseFM last weekend and someone phoned up the studio asking about it, and said it sounded like Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie. There's also a video clip of the band live over on that link too.

"Thirty years ago this month, the death of Nancy (of Sid &) effectively ended New York's early punk scene. It's been easy to hate her since—maybe too easy.
Legs McNeil never slept with Nancy Spungen, but he knew her. Everyone on the punk scene did. "There were only, like, 200 people," he says. "So you met everyone pretty quickly. It wasn't a scene that anyone wanted to be a part of. There was no velvet rope at CBGB."
Read the full story The Day Punk Died from New York magazine.
Last month Fader magazine had a party to celebrate it's 56th issue. Part of the night's festivities was Rodriquez, playing only his second show EVER in New York. Spotted the video at Light In The Attic Records, who reissued his two albums recently. Freakin' awesome!
Speaking of Fader magazine, NZ band Naked and Famous are in NY playing today at the Fader party for the CMJ Music Festival this week. Nice one.

Make the Road by Walking
Hat tip to Brooklyn Vegan... "The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of musicians from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, El Michels Affair, Antibalas and the Budos Band, brought together by musician/producer Tommy Brenneck (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Amy Winehouse) to record hits in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The Menahan Street Band album ("Make the Road by Walking") is out now. Download the title track over here. You might recognize it from the sample used in Jay-Z's hit song "Roc Boys (and the Winner is...)".
Speaking of which... A few months after the release of the Jay-Z track, Brenneck was contacted by the principal of Public School 20, an elementary school in nearby Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, who had tracked down the original [song] after being blown away by the sample in the radio hit.
The school band invited the Menahan Street Band to their recital to watch them perform their own rendition of "Make the Road by Walking" and to join them in their music class the following Friday. The experience proved mutually inspiring for both the children and the band, and completed the songs poetic journey from the local community center through the national hip-hop airwaves, and back to the children of Brooklyn.
watch the video of the school band here or click below. Album should be out in NZ stores soon. Or grab it yourself online.
