The Blue Jean Bonanza
Blue Jeans are reputed to have been invented way back in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Straus. These Jeans were first designed to be 'work pants' and originally called 'waist overalls'. It wasn't until the 1960s that the term 'Jeans' was adopted to refer to these increasingly popular trousers.
During my youth there were actually only three major brands to choose from. Levis, Wranglers and Lee. These were available in dark indigo blue which would wash out and stain anything else that they were washed with. Levis were famous for introducing their 'shrink to fit' jeans which you would wear in the bath in order to shrink them to your size.
In the early 70s it was fashionable to wear heavily faded, patched and frayed flared jeans this gave rise to a whole new industry selling second hand denim jeans. This trend really took off in the 1980s with a very popular Levis 501 advertising campaign.
People who loved the worn look no longer had to resort to a scrubbiing brush to get the worn and faded look. They could now buy genuinely old Levis 501s that had already been worn in. Fashion conscious shoppers were unaware that these Jeans had come from various American prisons where they were the standard issues clothing.
Jump forward to today and there must be hardly anyone between the ages of about 12 and 50 who doesn't own at least one pair of blue jeans. The average American teenager is thought to have about six pairs of jeans.
And they are not limited to only a few select brands. Most of todays major clothing brands now offer their own range of Jeans. My personal favourites are Fat Face Jeans from the popular Fat Face range of outdoor, surf and ski clothing. The outfit that I like to wear for any occasion is a pair of Fat Face Jeans teamed with a comfortable Fat Face Hoodie. This outfit may not be appropriate for most business meetings but it's exceptionally comfortable and very practical.
Asus P4P800E problem!!!?
My motherboard P4P800E have problem! can someone help me? Means that one memory channels (the blue slots) ist broken. To be exact, I can't get my 2 memory sticks run in dual mode, i.e. the second channel of the first pair (blue ones) is dead. However, my system works in the second bank, but I don't know if it is still in dualmode, as the first pair is supposed to be installed in the falty slot.
A pair on the black slots will run in dual channel mode. A pair on Channel B (blue & black) will run in single channel mode.
