Help Me Choose My Coat Buttons!
Here's the pattern I'm using, to refresh your memory:
I'm making view D, the one shown in ivory in the front. As you can see, the button choice is crucial with this design.
My instincts are telling me to go with a classic half ball shape.
But isn't this "combination flat" design interesting?
What do you think: half ball or combination flat? Or something else entirely? (Click on the first image to see all the options full-size.) Thanks for your help, friends!

This is an 'important' coat - but I'm going to go with the combination button. Having six of them will be impressive enough - I thing the half ball buttons will be too much.ReplyDelete

I love the combination flat button, very pretty.ReplyDelete

I think, out of the two you picked, the 'combination flat' is better, but I must confess partiality toward the 'hand stitch.'ReplyDelete
Half ball. The other buttons may be more interesting in themselves but the half ball goes with the simple stylized design of the coat. I think the effect of the others might be too sporty or fussy for the elegant look you are going for. IMHOReplyDelete

Definitely the half ball. I agree with Janet that the combination flat runs the risk of making the line of the coat too fussy - the lines of the coat are dramatic enough without adding another set of lines/details.ReplyDelete
I agree with the half ball ones.ReplyDelete
Classic and they'll look amazing with the coat.
If the coat had any piping or piping-like stitching details similar to Collette Patterns Lady Grey, then I would say to go with the combination flat, because it would echo the details beautifully. However, as your jacket seems to be all about bold moves and clean forms, I would pick the half round (even though it isn't my favorite on its own). I think that it makes the same design statement as the rest of the coat. You just have to be careful with the scale. I would cut out some paper circles and pin them to your muslin to get a feel for the size options.ReplyDelete
Both lovely but I'd go for the combination flat. It's sweet and stylish.ReplyDelete

I completely agree with Janet and Gaidig: half ball would match these clean lines better!ReplyDelete
But what I really like is the buttons that are lined from under with a contrasting fabric: nobody can see it, except the person that wears the garment, which is really exciting! Do they make such things at Pat's custom buttons?
The half ball. Definitely. The combination flat is cute, but in combination with the coat I think the half ball is more of a simple elegance, just like the rest of the coat.ReplyDelete
My first instinct before reading your options was "combination raised", but of the two you chose I'd go combination flat... there's just something about the combination part that makes it just that tiny bit more interesting.ReplyDelete
I have to add my vote for the half ball. The coat is beautifully simple and while I like the combination button on it's own, I think it would detract a bit from the elegant simplicity of the coat.ReplyDelete
Are the other options available to you? I'd concur with those that suggest adding little interest. The same-colour half ball might just disappear into a sea of blue. I like the combination raised, the top stitch, and my own personal preference, narrow ivory rim, which will really play up the blue and make the buttons pop.ReplyDelete
Combination flat. To me, they look more professional and tailored. The ball covered buttons look too ordinary.ReplyDelete
But if the cost isn't too prohibitive, I'd get 6 of each and then try them out in real life before making the decision. You could probably resell or reuse the rejects.
I think Gaidig makes a very important point about scale. You don't have to go with Vogue's suggested size and those buttons are big. You can have any size you want, as long as you make your decision before you make the buttonholes. If it was me, I would buy a set of cheapie buttons, or use some you have, in the suggested size and put them on your muslin just to make sure you are happy. I'm pretty small, and usually scale down buttons to avoid looking swamped. I like both your choices - this is going to be a fabulous coat.ReplyDelete
i think combination raised, or two tone because they both look the nicest to touch! But out of the two you are considering, i think that the combination flat would look really nice! The half ball is nice too, but just not my cup of tea :) xxReplyDelete

Wow! They're all so beautiful. I think the combination flat will look beautiful in that red.ReplyDelete
I vote for the flat look, either the round or square. I think the collar is the focal point on the coat and so dramatic that you really don't want to have the eyes travel to the buttons. I think the half balls will be too bumpy for the coat.ReplyDelete
Combination flat.ReplyDelete
I just finished my first coat and although I did not do fabric covered buttons (or bound button holes, as I vetoed them before your post was written) I agonized over button selection when I was met with 5 different possible choices for my 1" round buttons. I ended up choosing something that in the end I second guessed. I wish I had someone with my when I was picking them out, they looked great on scrap of fabric but they were not exactly what I wanted on my finished coat.
I'd go classic with the half ball. It's a clean look that matches the line of the coat.ReplyDelete
I like the combination flat .. and also raised. Can't see buttercup v clearly but also liked that.ReplyDelete
wish there was a pat's here.
In my opinion, either the half ball, raised. Or the combination, raised. I like that one, too. Will they be self-covered or will they make their own statement?ReplyDelete
I like the combination flat, personally. I don't think it would look too fussy at all... I have a wool coat with covered buttons in this style and it's a pretty darn subtle detail. On the other hand, the coat is bright rose pink, so what do I know about subtlety?ReplyDelete
Combination flat!!ReplyDelete
I like the combination flat, but I have to admit that I prefer the flower combination best. Must be something about that ring detail around the button!ReplyDelete
I like the half ball. I had a coat with combination flat buttons and eventually I got a little tired of the way they looked.ReplyDelete
I was thinking the two-tone, with gold behind, because that is such a super-luxe coat.ReplyDelete
I vote for the half ball, because I am a big "simpler is better" fan in general. But I think either would work, really...(not very helpful, eh?)ReplyDelete
My vote is definitely for the "combination flat" over the "half ball". To me, the half ball looks like one you could have covered yourself from a vintage covered button kit and is very plain and bulky looking. I made many of them when I was younger. But the combination flat is much more professional looking in my opinion and adds some interest. I also really like the "combination raised"...maybe better than the flat.ReplyDelete
Would it be too costly to order one of each button before ordering a set? I think seeing them in reality would give you a better idea of what will look best. But whatever you decide, I'm sure it will turn out great!
I like the hand stitch... but the combination flat of your choices is pretty swanky.ReplyDelete
Of the 2 my choice would be the combo flat. I think the ball may look a bit amateurish. Even tho' they both have a shank I much prefer a lower profile. I also really like the combination rounded which looks professional but has the higher profile - but not as high as the ball.ReplyDelete
- H D ChildreeNovember 29, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Personally, I love the square combination as a really cool button, but I agree with those who said to go with the flat button design so as not to overwhelm the lines of your coat.ReplyDelete
I'm a sucker for the combination flatReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 30, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Combination flat! Combination flat!ReplyDelete
Done monotone they will add really nice, subtle, visual interest. They also look very professional.
What's more, they look particularly vintage - to me anyway. I have a little vintage 50s black wool jacket (that I just ADORE) with self-covered combination flat buttons. They are SO smart looking!
Half ball for me. Classic, and classy... (and traditional)ReplyDelete
Maybe I'm just boring, but I'm all for the classic half ball.ReplyDelete
I like those: bell stitch, hand stitch and square combination :) If I had to choose from those u've shown I'd pick the blue combination :)ReplyDelete

Mental Resilience: Bouncing Back From Adversity
We're all more capable than we think we are." – Sel Ledermen, PhD
"The sun will come out tomorrow."
"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."
"Put on a happy face."
Nothing is more annoying than a handful of trite clichés when you are battling adversity and would really prefer a little sympathy. But these Pollyanna-like clichés point out that it is far more healthy to develop the ability to bounce back from adversity than it is to remain mired in misfortune.
The Power of Resilience
Sel Ledermen, PhD, aManhattanpsychologist, defines resilience as "the ability to decide that you want to be your best and that you can deal constructively with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." He points out that in bouncing back from adversity, you may not get exactly where you want to be. Instead, Ledermen says that resilience is the ability to decide that no matter what happens to you, you are going to learn from it. "Resilient people accept responsibility for their lives and their choices, and they understand what's gone wrong so they can fix it."
Resilient people are better able to cope with what life dishes out because they learn to deal with present stressors as well as future adversity, adds Robin Dee Post, PhD, aDenverpsychologist. They are able to bounce back from stresses in an adaptive, active, healthy way, Post explains. They feel effective and powerful, not helpless. After dealing with loss, trauma, or stress, resilient people can refocus on what is ahead without feeling overwhelmed or allowing past events to have a negative impact.
A Lesson in Resilience
My husband and I learned the value of resilience first-hand when a business merger cost him his job just weeks after his company had transferred us to a new location hundreds of miles away from our friends and family.
We suddenly found ourselves alternately dazed, despairing, and panicked with three small children, a stack of bills, no health insurance, no income, and no idea how we would manage. Sleep became a desperately needed, yet elusive, escape. We alternated between a sense of dread and a sense of hopelessness as we sought ways for him to get his job back. I developed a bad case of bronchitis; he became listless and lethargic. We were both irritable and moody.
It was not until we began to look forward rather than back that the unbearable weight began to lift. Focusing on opportunities rather than on our loss allowed us to begin moving ahead. We began setting new goals. We re-evaluated our priorities. This made things infinitely better for our entire family.
It has been a long, nerve-wracking, and sometimes frightening climb. We have taken missteps here and there, but we have learned and grown more in the last decades than we ever would have thought possible during those first, horrible months. Since then, we have waded through smaller financial setbacks and subsequent career decisions. We are currently rearranging our lives to cope with a loved one's sudden and devastating disability. Our parenting skills are constantly challenged by two teenagers and a pre-adolescent. The lessons in resilience we learned all those years ago are still helping us cope today.
Elements of Resilience
Forging ahead is just one part of resilience, Ledermen explains. Learning, religious beliefs, moral beliefs, and family beliefs are all essential elements of resilience, he explains.
Ledermen believes that resilience can be learned, although some people may be more innately resilient than others and that life experiences contribute to our innate degree of resilience. It is important not to blame ourselves for mistakes we have made along the way. "We're all more capable than we think we are," he says, "but we're also all capable of screwing up."
People Who Don't Bounce Back
Non-resilient people tend to dwell on their problems, may be less prepared to handle future problems, and will likely be overwhelmed, perhaps to the point where they turn to escapes, like alcohol or drugs, or develop psychiatric problems, Post says. The physical results of being unable to cope with adversity include depression, passivity, and the tendency to blame others for whatever ails you.
Resilience and Relationships
Post says that resilient people may be more comfortable in their personal relationships because their resilience helps them cope with problems without dwelling on them. Those who are less resilient are more likely to stack up problems and feel resentful. But simply being accommodating in relationships with others does not indicate resilience, she says. Truly resilient people deal with problems and then move on.
We can help our children become resilient by modeling resilience for them. "Parents who are resilient are better able to cope with problems as they arise and to be more effective as role models," Post says. "They also cope better with outside stressors, allowing them to be more effective parents."
She suggests teaching children coping skills that help them feel effective, assertive, and powerful. She adds that it is particularly important for teens to be resilient. "They are facing one of the hardest life tasks—becoming an independent adult."
The Other Shoe
The initial elation of having successfully survived and moved beyond a traumatic experience whether it be a health problem, the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or other devastating event is often diminished by a feeling of "waiting for the other shoe to drop."
Indeed, my husband and I have reached the point where we are almost superstitious about enjoying or even discussing how far we have come over the last ten years. We feel that to do so would be to "tempt the fates." In fact, when we recently learned that our 11-year-old car had gasped its last breath and would have to be replaced, we wondered if the anticipated proverbial "other shoe" had finally dropped. We are still waiting and watching, only half-jokingly, for that shoe. Ledermen says this fear is a form of survivor's guilt. It is a perfectly normal fear, adds Post, but if preoccupation with it interferes with your life, professional help is available.
Hanging in There
All of us face adversity in one form or another throughout a lifetime. The ability to deal with it, process it, and get our lives back on track defines, to a large degree, who we are and who we are capable of becoming. If you find the lemons/lemonade metaphor for resilience too much of a clichés, that is okay. Perhaps you would rather post this thought on your bathroom mirror: "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

1. How long will it take for my instruments to arrive?
We stock inventory across more than hundreds and thousands of instruments at our domestic warehouses located in Sialkot, Pakistan. Most general instruments and high-volume specialty instruments are in stock for immediate delivery. Some low-volume specialty instruments are made to order, which can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks, and in rare cases longer. For standard ground orders, please allow 1-2 days for processing time and an additional 3-5 business days for shipping. If you have an urgent need, please ensure to place your order with expedited shipping service (next day, second day or three day). Orders with expedited shipping service are processed and shipped the same day. You will be notified if an item placed under expedited service is not available for immediate delivery. You can always email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to inquire about product availability before placing your order.
2. Can you cross reference a part code from another brand?
Absolutely. We have a cross reference tool built into our website that contains cross references from major brands across the most common set of instruments. Simply email us with your requirement list at firstname.lastname@example.com to let us quote with our codes accordingly.
3. Do you offer custom instrument design and manufacture services?
Yes, we actually specialize in the manufacture of hard-to-find, discontinued or custom instruments. Please contact us at email@example.com and provide your requirements. The best case scenario is to provide a sample instrument that you would like replicated; in most cases we would need the instrument for approximately four weeks so that our product team can review the item and ensure it is within our capability to produce. A sample always ensures we can match your requirement exactly. We understand, however, that a sample is not always available, so the next best thing is to provide as much information as you can provide. This includes item part numbers, manufacturer names, photos, illustrations and detailed specifications or measurements.
Once we receive your sample and/or requirements, it typically takes 2-3 business days to review the information, confirm we can produce the item and provide a quote. If you accept and place a purchase order, we will put the item into production. If the item is a simple modification of an existing item we have available, there is no technical drawing required and we can put the item into production immediately. If the item is substantially different from any existing product we provide, someone from our engineering team may produce a technical drawing, which we will then send to you for sign off.
Lead times for custom instruments depend on several factors, including complexity, availability of existing forgings or raw material, quantity needed, etc. In most cases, it takes approximately 10-12 weeks. While we try our best to avoid minimum quantity requirements, in some cases, a minimum quantity would apply. Please note that custom instrumentation is not returnable, unless there is a material defect or it substantially differs from the specifications provided and/or approved.
4. What are the terms of your instrument warranty?
Please see our Warranty page for our complete warranty policy. In a nutshell, we offer a lifetime guarantee on our products which covers everything except routine maintenance (like sharpening of scissors or punches) and damage caused by improper maintenance or misuse. Examples of problems covered by our comprehensive warranty include instances of pitting, staining, or broken components like springs. To file a warranty claim, please contact one of our sales or customer service representatives. They will provide you with a form to complete along with your return. All instruments returned under a warranty claim are reviewed by one of our technicians to determine eligibility under the warranty. Completing a form does not necessarily mean that your item will be covered under warranty. You will be notified regardless of the result of our technicians' inspection and the offered resolution.
5. What type of surface finish do your instruments have?
The vast majority of our instrument patterns come in a satin, or dull, finish, which minimizes the glare that may distract surgeons and hinder visibility under operating room lights. This is the standard finish of most instrumentation used in operating rooms today.
6. Do your instruments ship sterile?
Darleys Surgical instruments do not ship sterile and should always be sterilized prior to use, as is the case with most operating room grade instrumentation.
Do you offer varying grades of surgical instruments?
Darleys Surgical offers only a single grade of premium, operating room grade reusable instruments as part of its standard stock offering. We do not offer an economy, disposable or floor grade line of instrumentation. However, in cases of large volume requirements, we may be able to accommodate such requests. Please contact our customer service team with your requirements for further information.
7. Do you offer any pricing discounts?
We do offer various promotions throughout the year on certain instruments as advertised on our home page. In addition, your facility may also have access to contracted pricing tiers by virtue of your membership in a group purchasing organization. If you are aware of any such memberships, please contact our customer service team and they can activate your online account so you have access to contracted price points online. Alternatively, feel free to contact us if you are unaware of your affiliations and we would be happy to try to look them up for you.

Network Packets and Traces
DARPA ID Eval
The DARPA Intrusion Detection Evaluation. In 1998, 1999 and 2000 the Information Systems Technology Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory created a test network complete with simulated servers, clients, clerical workers, programmers, and system managers. Baseline traffic was collected. The systems on the network were then "attacked" by simulated hackers. Some of the attacks were well-known at the time, while others were developed for the purpose of the evaluation.

Easy Blank Wall Solutions
Pattern on platters
An assortment of bargain-priced white platters discovered at a discount store becomes lively art when adorned with boldly patterned wallpaper (any decorative papers would work). Size and cut wallpaper to fit the center flat areas of each platter, leaving a wide rim as the frame. Use spray adhesive to affix the cutouts. Group the platters, and display on the wall using wire plate hangers.
Butterfly beauties
Real specimens cost hundreds, but you can replicate this trendy, nature-inspired look on a budget. Cut butterflies that coordinate with your room color from old butterfly photography books, garden magazines or calendars. If necessary, use a color copier to adjust size or to make multiples. Pin faux "specimens" to foam-core board cut to fit in inexpensive shadowbox frames. Gently fold the wings forward for a realistic look.
Torn-paper abstracts
Layer art and/or scrapbooking papers with torn edges for the modern look of horizons depicting sea, land and sky. Tear uneven widths, and vary the color order. For impact, tightly group four ready-made crafts store frames with mats.
Wallpaper chalkboard paint stencil
Use chalkboard paint to create change-your-mind wallpaper by repeating stencil shapes. We chose a regimented pattern of tropical leaves, but the only limit on the look is your imagination. Keeping the chalk above a chair rail reduces the chance of smudges. Buy stencils at crafts stores. The background color in our photo is Benjamin Moore 2147-30 Jalapeño Pepper.
Show-off boxes
Display trip souvenirs with these shadow boxes. Cut out maps of your vacation spot and mount to the back of the box. Fill with souvenir buttons, wine corks, concert tickets and other vacation keepsakes.
Repeating symmetry
Create modern art by grouping similar items. We chose balls of twine for their neutral color, texture and 3-D effect. Each ball hangs on a long nail driven into the wall (or into a sheet of painted plywood if you want fewer holes in the wall).
Office silhouettes
Create art from everyday objects. We used clothespins for this quirky art project, but other small, heavy objects, like keys or tools, will work. Choose a series of frames and a background color. Artfully arrange your objects on paperboard and lightly spray paint to create silhouettes of the items.
Punches of pattern
Get splashes of color and pattern with framed wallpaper. Choose four wallpaper patterns with similar colors or themes. Cut out 12 squares and frame. Hang in a rectangle for eye-catching art.
Simple vintage art
Old photos—on a clipboard or hung with clothespins—are easy wall decor.
Modern plates
Create a modern twist on the traditional dining room plate display. Line shadow boxes with fun fabrics or colorful papers. Mount simple plates in the boxes with strong adhesive.
Botanical prints
Make your own botanical prints by scanning leaves, printing, and placing in inexpensive frames. Ferns make lovely wall art—and autumn leaves are a great accent in the fall!
Musical touch
Sheet music papers a wall in this Illinois home.
Rescued antiques
Transform an old quilt or a vintage cross-stitch into a unique hanging display. Hanging tip: Trace the frames onto crafts paper and cut out. Tape the pieces to the wall and try different groupings until you find the best arrangement.
Animal outlines
Pay tribute to pets with a classic silhouette. Print silhouettes off the Internet or freehand your favorite animal, then trace onto thick black paper and cut out. Choose a fun pattern as the background to add visual contrast.
Framed souvenirs with chalkboard paint
For art that acts as a memory keeper, remove the glass of readymade frames and paint the backboard with blue chalkboard paint (this color is Benjamin Moore 2057-40 Ash Blue). Hot-glue on found vacation treasures. Label them with state names or personal notes written in chalk to identify where or how you found each item.
Winged beauties
Refurbish old dishes with fresh paint and a striking silhouette. Print and cut out an animal or image. Secure outline using tape or a small heavy object. Spray paint over silhouette items. We chose a bright matte pink to coordinate with the furniture.
Overlapping fabrics
Create a fabric mosaic of colors and patterns. Use tensions rods, string or other fixtures to hang the fabric. We used warm colors on top and cooler colors on the second row.
Window wall art
An old barn window becomes intriguing wall art. The reproduction chair upholstered in feed sacks adds to the vintage appeal.
Cottage kitchen art
Kitchen lacking an artistic touch? Use a collection of items, such as plates or cutting boards, to decorate a wall.
Window frame
An old window makes an unusual photo display. First sand, prime and paint the window; then cut photos and a mat for the background. Add a finishing touch such as our petite glass knob.
Button up
Old buttons become works of art when hung on wall displays. Consider grouping by color, shape or material.
Color a collection
What a little spray paint can do! Choose a single standout hue to turn a jumbled collection of garage sale finds into a unified display for a wall, mantel or shelf.
Start with a group of related (but not necessarily matching) items. You could use a pile of old brass candlesticks, a menagerie of kitschy animal figures or a stack of tarnished trays. Our pick: a variety of dinged-up kitchen gear from antiques and thrift stores. Remove dirt and dust with a damp cloth. Spray on primer, then apply the final color with a light back and forth motion for even coverage. You may need a couple coats for rich, uniform color. (We used Krylon indoor/outdoor Cherry Red paint in gloss, krylon.com).
Shutter display
Hang shutters horizontally to display photos, postcards or letters. Use double-stick tape to hold items in place if needed.
Fill your days with art
Wall calendars can double as art when framed. Remove frame glass, line the back with scrapbook paper, and adhere the calendar to the paper. (Use a calendar with pages that tear off.)
Get your shine on
These high-impact pieces are simply canvases with metal repair tape applied in geometric patterns. Silver accessories continue the theme.
Paint a focal point
For an easy focal point, paint an accent color on a section of wall directly above a mantel. Here, the sky blue above the mantel complements the pear green and natural neutral tan elsewhere in the room for a tranquil palette.
Tea cozy
Teacups and saucers invoke warmth in a kitchen, dining nook, even bedroom. Ribbons add connection between items hung on simple cup hooks and plate hangers.
Magnetic appeal
We painted a wall with four coats of magnetic primer and a top coat of bright paint. Fun magnets hold artwork, notes, photos and anything else someone wants to hang.
Map-tastic decor
For bargain wallpaper, cover an accent wall with pages pulled from atlases. Starting in the middle of the wall, apply one page using decoupage adhesive. Repeat, overlapping edges, until the wall is covered.
For a similar yet temporary effect, decoupage pages to large plywood or foam-core boards, and hang or lean them against a wall.
Painted plants
Spray paint in bold hues over silk or plastic greenery for a colorful silhouette. If you want the uneven edges pictured, cover the paper with frisket (available at crafts stores) or torn masking tape.
Initial art
Use your initials to create a very personal wall display. Combine letters in different shapes, sizes and colors. Frame a few and hang some 3-D versions.
Some of a kind
Repeating one item in rows makes for original art. Here, candleholders in a grid form geometric art. Choose something with a hole in the bottom to ease hanging.
Shadow box
A small collage of family pictures fills this charming hanging shadow box.
Shutter decor
Salvaged shutters add interest and texture to walls. Simply prop behind furniture, or secure to walls.
Fun and games
Old board games make colorful wall art—and who cares if some of the pieces are missing?

"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460

TOKYO — At least seven people were feared missing and several dead after about 150 concrete panels fell from the roof of a tunnel on the main highway linking Tokyo with central Japan.
Efforts to rescue any survivors trapped inside the tunnel were hindered by heavy smoke after one vehicle caught fire inside the Sasago Tunnel, about 50 miles outside Tokyo.
Rescuers also temporarily suspended work because of fears of a further collapse. They were attempting to reach at least several vehicles believed buried in the rubble, including a truck whose driver was trapped inside and had called his company for help.
"I could hear voices of people calling for help, but the fire was just too strong," said a woman interviewed by public broadcaster NHK after she escaped from the tunnel.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency issued a statement late Sunday saying five people were confirmed to have been in a car that burned inside the tunnel, and at least one other was in a truck. However, officials said they could not confirm the exact number of people believed dead.
Executives for Central Japan Expressway Co. said the company was investigating why the concrete panels had given way. A check of the 3-mile tunnel's roof in September and October found nothing amiss, they said.
It said two people were confirmed hurt, but the injuries were not severe.
The tunnel, which opened in 1977, is one of many in mountainous Japan. The location of the collapse, about a mile inside the tunnel, was complicating rescue efforts, reports said.
Police vehicles, fire trucks and ambulances were massed outside the tunnel's entrance.

Honda Motor Co. Inc. is recalling 573,000 Accords, the second-most popular cars in America, to fix a defective power steering hose that can leak fluid and catch fire.
The recall affects Accords from the 2003 through 2007 model years that are equipped with V-6 engines. Honda says one fire was reported but no injuries.
The company is adding the Accords to a May recall of the Acura TL midsize luxury car.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the Accord hoses can deteriorate prematurely, causing cracks and leaks.
Honda will replace the hoses for free, but it will not have the parts available until early in 2013. Any owner who suspects a leak should take their car to a dealer.
The Accord is the nation's second-best selling car, topped only by the Toyota Camry.

WASHINGTON — The contours of a deal to avert the 'fiscal cliff' emerged Monday, with Democrats and Republicans agreeing to raise tax rates on family income over $450,000 a year, increase the estate tax rate and extend unemployment benefits for one year, officials familiar with the negotiations said.
But with a midnight deadline rapidly approaching, both sides were at an impasse over whether to put off automatic, across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect on Jan. 1, and if so, how to pay for that. Democrats want to put off the cuts for one year and offset the so-called sequester with unspecified revenue.
Officials emphasized that negotiations were continuing and the emerging deal was not yet final. President Barack Obama was to speak about the status of the negotiations from the White House on Monday afternoon.
The proposal in the works would raise the tax rates on family income over $450,000 from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, the same level as under former President Bill Clinton. Also, estates would be taxed at 40 percent after the first $5 million for an individual and $10 million for a couple, up from 35 percent to 40 percent.
Unemployment benefits would be extended for one year. Without the extension, 2 million people would lose benefits beginning in early January.
A Republican official familiar with the plans confirmed the details described to The Associated Press.
The officials requested anonymity in order to discuss the internal negotiations.
Unless an agreement is reached and approved by Congress by the start of New Year's Day, more than $500 billion in 2013 tax increases will begin to take effect and $109 billion will be carved from defense and domestic programs
Though the tax hikes and budget cuts would be felt gradually, economists warn that if allowed to fully take hold, their combined impact — the so-called fiscal cliff — would rekindle a recession.
Urgent talks were continuing Monday afternoon between the White House and congressional Republicans, with longtime negotiating partners Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell at the helm. Underscoring the flurry of activity, another GOP aide said the two men had conversations at 12:45 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Monday.
An agreement on the proposed deal would also shield Medicare doctors from a 27 percent cut in fees and extend tax credits for research and development, as well as renewable energy.
The deal would also extend for five years a series of tax credits meant to lessen the financial burden on poorer and middle-class families, including one credit that helps people pay for college.
The deal would achieve about $600 billion in new revenue, the officials said.
Despite the movement, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned that time was running out to finalize an agreement.
"Americans are still threatened with a tax hike in just a few hours," said Reid, D-Nev., as the Senate began an unusual New Year's Eve session.
Liberal Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, took to the Senate floor after Reid to warn Democratic bargainers against lowering levies on large inherited estates and raising the income threshold at which higher tax rates would kick in.
"No deal is better than a bad deal. And this look like a very bad deal the way this is shaping up," said Harkin.
Letting tax rates rise for couples with incomes of $450,000 a year is a concessions for Obama, who campaigned for re-election on a pledge to set the levels at $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. It also marked a significant concession by Republican leaders who pledged to continue the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for all income earners. .
The hope of the White House and lawmakers was to seal an agreement, enact it and send it to Obama for his signature before taxpayers felt the impact of higher income taxes or federal agencies began issuing furloughs or taking other steps required by spending cuts.
Regardless of the fate of the negotiations, it appeared all workers would experience a cut in their take-home pay with the expiration of a two-year cut in payroll taxes.
"This whole thing is a national embarrassment," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said Monday on MSNBC, adding that any solution Congress would swallow at this late stage would be inconsequential. "We still haven't moved any closer to solving our nation's problems."
In a move that was sure to irritate Republicans, Reid was planning — absent a deal — to force a Senate vote Monday on Obama's campaign-season proposal to continue expiring tax cuts for all but those with income exceeding $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
In one sign of movement on Sunday, Republicans dropped a demand to slow the growth of Social Security and other benefits by changing how those payments are increased each year to allow for inflation.
Obama had offered to include that change, despite opposition by many Democrats, as part of earlier, failed bargaining with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, over a larger deficit reduction agreement. But Democrats said they would never include the new inflation formula in the smaller deal now being sought to forestall wide-ranging tax boosts and budget cuts, and Republicans relented.
"It's just acknowledging the reality," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said of the GOP decision to drop the idea.
As the New Year's Eve deadline rapidly approached, Democrats and Republicans found themselves at odds over a host of issues, including taxing large inherited estates. Republicans wanted the tax left at its current 35 percent, with the first $5.1 million excluded, while Democrats wanted the rate increased to 45 percent with a smaller exclusion.
The two sides were also apart on how to keep the alternative minimum tax from raising the tax bills of nearly 30 million middle-income families and how to extend tax breaks for research by business and other activities.
Republicans were insisting that budget cuts be found to pay for some of the spending proposals Democrats were pushing.
These included proposals to erase scheduled defense and domestic cuts exceeding $200 billion over the next two years and to extend unemployment benefits. Republicans complained that in effect, Democrats would pay for that spending with the tax boosts on the wealthy.
"We can't use tax increases on anyone to pay for more spending," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

The Chicago-based Coleman Foundation has awarded Lawrence Technological University a two-year, $150,000 grant to increase student participation in entrepreneurial education that is already occurring on campus.
The Coleman Foundation is a private, independent grant-making organization that funds educational institutions that offer entrepreneurship training and support. This is the largest grant it has awarded to LTU.
LTU's College of Engineering has an entrepreneurial education program for engineering students supported by a grant from the Kern Family Foundation. LTU is an active member of the Kern Entrepreneurial Education Network (KEEN).
The Coleman grant will make LTU's entrepreneurial education program available to students pursuing degrees through LTU's Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Architecture and Design, and Management.
"We want more students to be aware of the resources that exist on campus to help them advance an idea for a business," said Senior Lecturer Karen Evans, who is co-director of the existing Coleman Fellows program. "We want students to get help going to the next step with a business idea they developed in class."
The Coleman Foundation grant will increase the reach of LTU's Entrepreneurial Collaboratory, a resource for entrepreneurs established in 2012 in the College of Engineering with the support of the Kern Family Foundation. Business consultant and LTU alumnus Tex Criqui leads a team from Tech Highway that counsels students on how to take a product from conception to market.
"We want to see increasing numbers of students realizing the possibility of self-employment through business ownership in their discipline, now or in the future," Evans said. "This type of education also equips students to work in any business in their field. They'll have greater appreciation of how their skill set can advance business goals when working for a large company."
The grant will also be used to increase student participation in the college courses that have been developed by Coleman Faculty Fellows. This is the fourth year that three LTU faculty members have been named Coleman Fellows charged with creating learning opportunities in non-business disciplines that will fulfill the foundation's mission to foster self-employment education and awareness.
The new grant will lay the groundwork for a Coleman curriculum based on the courses developed by the Coleman Fellows.
The grant also includes coordination of the Lawrence Tech programs with Coleman Fellows at other universities and the development of an assessment mechanism to gauge student learning.
"We want to share strategic best practices and assessment tools and develop heightened communications and collaboration using social media," Evans said. "We are confident that greater visibility for these programs will lead to additional support from other funding sources in the future."
For more information on the Coleman Foundation fellowship grant program at Lawrence Tech, contact Howard Davis, director of corporate and foundation relations, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (248) 204-2316
"This grant from the Coleman Foundation will increase the impact of entrepreneurial education at Lawrence Tech and give our existing programs much greater visibility. We anticipate that more support will be forthcoming as a result," Davis said.

I have had my JEEP JKU FACTORY HARDTOP SLIDER WINDOWS in for over a year now and me and my 2 huskies love them. I am able to keep them safe from any debris while they get the fresh air. This product is very well made and built to last. 🤘
Just installed the jku sliding rear windows. Excellent kit looks factory. Fast shipping.
Retrofit Offroad hit the nail on the head with their hardtop sliding window kit! I held off on buying a JK for a long time because I couldn't believe that there was no ventilation in the cargo area for dogs. As soon as I discovered that this kit was available I bought my Jeep. Installation was pretty straight forward, once you convince yourself it's ok to take a saw to your hardtop. If Jeep was smart this would be a factory option.
I've had the heavy duty hinges on my 2012 JKU for almost three years!! No rusting no flaking no sagging of the hinges!! Highly recommend them!!

Just days after a Greek-owned oil tanker carrying a quarter-million tons of crude was hijacked by Somali pirates, the European Union opened a new front in its war against the buccaneers by attacking them on land. The Associated Press reports that European forces struck a pirate base "in Handulle village, about 18 kilometers (11 miles) north of Haradhere town." While no deaths were reported in the attack—carried out by helicopters and support ships along the coast, the strike did considerable damage. Bile Hussein, a pirate commander, told the AP that "the attack along Somalia's central coastline destroyed speed boats, fuel depots and an arms store. 'They destroyed our equipment to ashes. It was a key supplies center for us…The fuel contributed to the flames and destruction. Nothing was spared.'" According to the Telegraph, "The attack involved troops from several of the European navies including seven frigates…from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal."
The action is the first of its kind since the EU expanded the scope and scale of its mission in March. Citing the EU's "commitment to fighting piracy off the Horn of Africa" and the "misery" piracy has caused the Somali people, the European Council moved to extend its presence in the Arabian Sea until the end of 2014, and broadened its area of operations to the Somali mainland and the country's territorial waters. The EU's decision came shortly after news that President Barack Obama ordered Navy Seals into the country on a rescue mission to free an American aid worker and her colleague from capture by warlords.
The Christian Science Monitor has some good analysis on the situation, noting that the EU's actions today suggest that Brussels has joined the United States—which has been carrying out missions against the pirates for some time using drones—in "pursuing a policy of diplomacy by airstrike."
The good news from all this is that we can't expect a full-scale land invasion of Somalia at any point in the near future. For one, the ghosts of Black Hawk Down still haunt Washington policymakers and their EU counterparts. But perhaps more pertinently, as the Institute for Security Studies' Andrews Atta-Asamaoh points out, invasion would likely lead to moral hazard. Any full-scale action could "very easily play into the hands of the Islamists," says Atta-Asamoah, "and allow them to whip up nationalism that would turn all progress towards a peace process around completely."
The bad news, then, is that we can expect to see more of the same half-way house approach to managing the situation with increasing forays onto the territory of Somalia itself. As the Financial Times reports, "Tuesday's attack is expected to be the first of many along the thousands of miles of Somali coastline." From the point of view of militaries patrolling the area, air strikes minimize possibilities for casualties on all sides while disrupting the operations of pirates and robbing them of safe haven. This preference was echoed by a spokesperson for the EU itself. "The pirates have felt in the past that once they are on dry land, we have to back off. Following the extension to our mandate, we are now able to deny them that impunity on land, and this morning's mission is a clear demonstration that we intend to make life as difficult as we can for them on land, as well as at sea." But it is far from clear that a growing reliance on airstrikes—and violence more generally—no matter how inconvenient for the pirates, opens up breathing room for a peace process to develop, and for Somalia to reclaim its sovereign independence.

With trial over, Britain's National Theatre to mount satire inspired by phone-hacking scandal
After months of courtroom drama comes phone hacking, the play.
Britain's National Theatre said its next production will be "an anarchic satire about the press, the police and the political establishment" titled "Great Britain."
The company says the play is fiction, but the description recalls the scandal over wrongdoing at Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World tabloid.
Former "Doctor Who" star Billie Piper plays an ambitious editor on a scoop-hungry tabloid in the play by Richard Bean, author of hit farce "One Man, Two Guvnors."
The cast has been rehearsing without knowing when opening night would be. They had to await verdicts in the trial of ex-editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson.
That came Tuesday with an acquittal for Brooks and a conviction for Coulson. The play opens Monday.

The big screen smartphone trend isn't slowing, but there comes a point where trying to top the competition with a bigger display goes from awesome to ridiculous. Huawei may have gone over that cliff with its new 6.1-inch Ascend Mate, or it may be right at the edge of what works for a phone.
Our first impression of the Mate is that, even though it's huge, we can see holding it in one hand – that is, if you have average or large hands. The curved back and sides fit comfortably in the palm, making it easier to forget that the phone is so large.
Still … this phone is huge. It's so big it makes the Galaxy Note 2 look small.
If any phone truly approaches tablet size and functionality, it's the Ascend Mate. And that raises the question of whether it even works as a phone. After the press conference here at CES, we saw plenty of people holding the Mate up to their ears and posing comically, just like when the Galaxy Note first came out. And it's even more strange looking with a bigger phone. Most people will probably opt for a wired or wireless headset for calls.
For its size, the Ascend Mate isn't overweight. It's around 7 ounces and doesn't feel heavy or unbalanced. Though there are some software tricks that help with one-handed operation, this is a two-hand device. People who appreciate this – especially a keyboard that offers plenty of room and big keys – will like all the screen real estate the Mate offers.
Speaking of the screen, if you're going to have a phone this big the display has to be exceptional, and so far that seems to be the case. Full HD plus rich colors plus a lot of brightness make it possible to imagine using this as gaming system, an e-book reader, and a work companion. The quad-core processor inside makes gaming a particularly nice prospect, especially since the screen size means more detail than your average Android phone.
Another nice aspect of the display is that it features Magic Touch, which ups the sensitivity of the capacitive technology so you can use the display even with gloves on. This can be both a blessing and a curse. If you carry your phone in your pocket and the screen comes on, you might unlock it just by walking. Still, it's a cool feature.
The Ascend Mate will ship with Android 4.1 and also comes with a skin. The Skin looks pretty extensive and reminds us of Samsung's TouchWiz – not in looks, but in how involved it is. Aesthetically it's quite good-looking, and didn't seem to slow the system down at all.
We're looking forward to seeing how long the Mate will last on a charge. It boasts a 4050mAh battery (the biggest smartphone battery in the world, according to Huawei) that should run for two or three days without needing a charge.
Huawei says that the Ascend Mate is coming to the U.S. "this year," though no carrier partnerships have been announced. We won't know pricing or availability until we know that, and the wait could be several months. Until then, check out our gallery and hands-on video.
