Melbourne, Austr...
Harem pants have been popular recently and i've thought long and hard about whether i like them or think they're silly. There are some 'out there' harem pants, you know MC Hammer style and they're a big NO NO for me but i have seen some slimmer styles that i thought could possibly be ok. Then i saw Sandramary's version of McCalls 5858 and rushed to buy the pattern.
I made these in some fabric from my stash which i think is a cotton blend or some sorts as my (hopefully) wearable muslin. Other than sewing one of the pockets to the right side of the fabric they were put together quite easily and took only a night of sewing.
I made the longer length and used size 8 and added an inch to the side seams of each piece and they fit perfectly! They are soooooo comfortable and easy to wear. The only thing i would change is the bagginess around the bum, there's a little too much ;)
I may think they're great and will possibly make another pair but my husband is not such a fan.
cotton blend fabric, polyester thread, invisible zipper.

I looks very funky :D

I'm about to make a pair of these myself, in a light chambray. I really like your version and I hope mine turn out as well as yours!
Nov 5, 2009, 02.10 AMby camilaustral
i usually kind of hate that kind of pant, but you wear them great ;) i don't know why that is… maybe the mmm ¿sober? look and fabric

Very cute pants….
Nov 2, 2009, 10.34 AMby BeYou TiFul
I have seen some younger girls walking around with these pants and I really liked them but I thought they wouldn't look good on me, but now seeing your version, I am totally convinced that I should make harem pants for myself (-). I totally love yours and they look great on you!
Nov 1, 2009, 08.29 AMby aibby
I love these pants too , on holidays this summer everyone was wearing them. They look so comfortable.

I think you did great!!!! I would totally sport them. I want to try to make some sometime but my poor machine is in the shop :(. You should try making a pair out of silk…now that would be fabulous!!!
Oct 31, 2009, 08.20 PMby fabricitis
Cool. I would like to make a version that has the crotch really really low…like a foot off the ground so that it is almost like a skirt…I saw the Yamoto drummers wearing something like that for their costume and I thought it was awesome…anyone know a pattern or how to alter a pattern to capture that look?
Oct 31, 2009, 05.27 PMby candyjoyce
That 2nd picture has me in stitches!! I wasn't sure about these harem pants either but now ive seen yours i might get the pattern. My boyfriend is also decidedly against them!

Klasse! :) You should not consider your husband – I am sure he don't follow fashion… ! ;)
Oct 31, 2009, 10.39 PMby nikkishell
I certainly don't consider my husband when i choose my clothes. He's not such a fan not because he's a follower of fashion but because the baggy style does not get his hormones raging ;)

Attention Princesses and Ninjas! 7 Steps to Safer Dress Up
November 18, 2014
dress up costumes princess outfits face paint contain toxic chemicals lead cadmium and hormone disrupting chemicals. how to avoid unsafe costumes … More ›
December 23, 2013
By Alexandra Zissu, Editorial Director
From toothpaste to shampoo, to shaving cream and make-up, personal care essentials are a ubiquitous part of life. The average American is said to use nine such products containing 126 different ingredients every day, usually without a second thought. Yet growing evidence shows we should all think at least twice about them.
More than 20 percent of personal care products contain chemicals that may contribute to cancer, and four out of five of their ingredients are typically contaminated with toxic byproducts. Some formulas contain compounds linked to reproductive dysfunction and endocrine disruption. Others rely on chemicals that can cause organ damageand harm fetal development. Even well known hazards like mercury and lead can appear, even if they are not identified directly on the label.
This is all the result of scant regulations that let personal care and cosmetic companies use nearly any ingredient and sell virtually any formula without safety testing or transparent ingredient labeling. Protecting ourselves –and especially our kids—from this lack of oversight starts with knowing how to read labels.
4 Easy Steps to Reading Personal Care Product Labels:
In general, try to stick to natural formulas and use as few personal care products as possible. And look for products that supplement the required and often technical standard ingredient names with plain English explanations. That's really the best way to keep the whole family looking its best.

Article: Analysis of adaptive optics-based telescope arrays in a deep-space inter-planetary optical communications link between Earth and Mars[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Earth-based telescope array receivers employing optical communications have the potential to fulfill the communication needs of technologically sophisticated, deep-space exploration missions. Atmospheric turbulence is the chief restrictive factor in an optical deep-space channel (ODSC). In this paper, investigation and design of adaptive optics (AO) subsystems are presented for the compensation of the coupled effects of optical turbulence and background noise in telescope array receivers. An end-to-end simulation platform for an ODSC between Mars and Earth is implemented, which incorporates pulse-position modulation (PPM), direct-detection receivers, and detectors with the capability of detection of single photon. The extreme conditions of atmospheric turbulence and background noise are also modeled in the analysis. AO subsystems are incorporated at individual telescopes in the array receiver to mitigate the turbulence effects. The performance of array receivers is evaluated in terms of the probability of error and communication throughput. The analysis in this research depicts that in worst-case turbulence and background noise conditions, inclusion of AO systems results in 8.5 dB performance improvement in communication data rates. The performance improvement of 5.6 dB is achievable in moderate channel conditions. Comparison of performance of array receivers with that of a large monolithic telescope shows that incorporation of AO systems is more feasible in arrays comprising telescopes with relatively smaller diameters.Optics Communications 11/2014; 333:120–128. · 1.44 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We propose a method for soliton formation in whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators through input phase modulation. Our numerical simulations of a variant of the Lugiato-Lefever equation suggest that modulating the input phase at a frequency equal to the resonator free-spectral-range and at modest modulation depths provides a deterministic route towards soliton formation in WGM resonators without undergoing a chaotic phase. We show that the generated solitonic state is sustained when the modulation is turned off adiabatically. Our results support parametric seeding as a powerful means of control, besides input pump power and pump-resonance detuning, over frequency comb generation in WGM resonators. Our findings also help pave the path towards ultra-short pulse formation on a chip.09/2014;
Article: An Efficient Technique for the Reduction of Wavelength Noise in Resonance-based Integrated Photonic Sensors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A systematic study of the limit of detection (LOD) in resonance-based silicon photonic lab-on-chip sensors is presented. The effects of the noise, temperature fluctuations, and the fundamental thermodynamic limit of the resonator are studied. Wavelength noise is identified as the dominant source of noise, and an efficient technique for suppressing this noise is presented. A large ensemble of statistical data from the transmission measurements in a laser-scanning configuration on five silicon nitride (SiN) microrings is collected to discuss and identify the sources of noise. The experimental results show that the LOD is limited by a 3σ wavelength noise of 1.8 pm. We present a sub-periodic interferometric technique, relying on an inverse algorithm, to suppress this noise. Our technique reduces the wavelength noise by more than one order of magnitude to an ensemble average of 3σ = 120 fm, for a resonator quality factor (Q) of about 5×10^4 without any temperature stabilization or cooling. This technique is readily amenable to on-chip integration to realize highly accurate and low-cost lab-on-chip sensors.The Analyst 09/2014; · 4.23 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Optical switches are among the essential building blocks in optical networks due to their unique role in routing data. In this Letter, for the first time to our knowledge, we have exploited a high-quality factor (Q) optical microresonator combined with the well-known irreversible dielectric breakdown phenomenon to introduce a simple field-programmable on/off optical switch. This simple unit can be thought of as a building block for more complex optical systems with different functionalities. By using this simple unit we have demonstrated an optical field-programmable 2×2 switch. After the device is programmed by the user, no external electrical signal is needed to maintain the state of the device. The same approach can readily be adopted to design a field-programmable arbitrary N×N optical switch.Optics Letters 08/2014; 39(15). · 3.39 Impact Factor
Article: High-efficiency and wideband interlayer grating couplers in multilayer Si/SiO2/SiN platform for 3D integration of optical functionalities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have designed interlayer grating couplers with single/double metallic reflectors for Si/SiO2/SiN multilayer material platform. Out-of-plane diffractive grating couplers separated by 1.6 μm thick buffer SiO2 layer are vertically stacked against each other in Si and SiN layers. Geometrical optimization using genetic algorithm coupled with electromagnetic simulations using two-dimensional (2D) finite element method (FEM) results in coupler designs with high peak coupling efficiency of up to 89% for double- mirror and 64% for single-mirror structures at telecom wavelength. Also, 3-dB bandwidths of 40 nm and 50 nm are theoretically predicted for the two designs, respectively. We have fabricated the grating coupler structure with single mirror. Measured values for insertion loss and 3-dB bandwidth in the fabricated single-mirror coupler confirms the theoretical results. This opens up the possibility of low-loss 3D dense integration of optical functionalities in hybrid material platforms.Optics Express 07/2014; 22(14). · 3.55 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Depth-resolved three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of fluorophore-tagged inclusions in fluorescence tomography (FT) poses a highly ill-conditioned problem as depth information must be extracted from boundary data. Due to the ill-posed nature of the FT inverse problem, noise and errors in the data can severely impair the accuracy of the 3D reconstructions. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the FT data strongly affects the quality of the reconstructions. Additionally, in FT scenarios where the fluorescent signal is weak, data acquisition requires lengthy integration times that result in excessive FT scan periods. Enhancing the SNR of FT data contributes to the robustness of the 3D reconstructions as well as the speed of FT scans. A major deciding factor in the SNR of the FT data is the power of the radiation illuminating the subject to excite the administered fluorescent reagents. In existing single-point illumination FT systems, the source power level is limited by the skin maximum radiation exposure levels. In this paper, we introduce and study the performance of a multiplexed fluorescence tomography system with orders-of-magnitude enhanced data SNR over existing systems. The proposed system allows for multi-point illumination of the subject without jeopardizing the information content of the FT measurements and results in highly robust reconstructions of fluorescent inclusions from noisy FT data. Improvements offered by the proposed system are validated by numerical and experimental studies.Biomedical Optics Express 03/2014; 5(3):763-77. · 3.18 Impact Factor
Article: Thermally reconfigurable device for adaptive reflection suppression on a silicon-on-insulator platform.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate a compact, thermally reconfigurable reflection suppressor on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, without reliance on nonreciprocal mechanisms. A reflection suppression ratio of 40 dB is achieved with a footprint of 105 μm in length. The insertion loss of the device is below 0.15 dB, and its total power consumption stays below 20 mW. The operation bandwidth depends on the frequency dependence of the back reflection going into the suppressor, which is predominantly determined by the distance between the device and the source of reflection. In this work, a 20 dB reflection suppression bandwidth of 20.7 GHz was achieved.Optics Letters 03/2014; 39(5):1141-4. · 3.39 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We present a new method for modeling and design of photonic crystal nano-beam resonators (PCNBRs) based on cascaded transmission lines. The proposed model provides an accurate estimate of the PCNBRs properties such as resonance wavelength and quality factor (Q) with much smaller computation cost as compared to the brute-force numerical methods. Furthermore, we have developed a straightforward technique for the design of high-Q PCNBRs based on resonance modes with Gaussian electromagnetic field profiles. The results obtained by using the proposed transmission line model are compared against numerical and experimental results and the accuracy of the model is verified. The proposed model provides an insight to silicon cavity design and significantly reduces computational burden.Journal of Lightwave Technology 01/2014; 32(1):91-98. · 2.56 Impact Factor
Article: Physics of band-gap formation and its evolution in the pillar-based phononic crystal structures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, the interplay of Bragg scattering and local resonance is theoretically studied in a phononic crystal (PnC) structure composed of a silicon membrane with periodic tungsten pillars. The comparison of phononic band gaps (PnBGs) in three different lattice types (i.e., square, triangular, and honeycomb) with different pillar geometries shows that different PnBGs have varying degrees of dependency on the lattice symmetry based on the interplay of the local resonances and the Bragg effect. The details of this interplay is discussed. The significance of locally resonating pillars, specially in the case of tall pillars, on PnBGs is discussed and verified by examining the PnBG position and width in perturbed lattices via Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the PnBGs caused by the local resonance of the pillars are more resilient to the lattice perturbations than those caused by Bragg scattering.Journal of Applied Physics 01/2014; 116(1):013514-013514-7. · 2.21 Impact Factor
Article: Hybrid integrated plasmonic-photonic waveguides for on-chip localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing and spectroscopy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We experimentally demonstrate efficient extinction spectroscopy of single plasmonic gold nanorods with exquisite fidelity (SNR > 20dB) and high efficiency light coupling (e. g., 9.7%) to individual plasmonic nanoparticles in an integrated platform. We demonstrate chip-scale integration of lithographically defined plasmonic nanoparticles on silicon nitride (Si3N4) ridge waveguides for on-chip localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing. The integration of this hybrid plasmonic-photonic platform with microfluidic sample delivery system is also discussed for on-chip LSPR sensing of D-glucose with a large sensitivity of ∼ 250 nm/RIU. The proposed architecture provides an efficient means of interrogating individual plasmonic nanoparticles with large SNR in an integrated alignment-insensitive platform, suitable for high-density on-chip sensing and spectroscopy applications.Optics Express 12/2013; 21(26):32086-98. · 3.55 Impact Factor

We have virtually no water coming out of our shower head. The water coming out of the tub faucet is at normal pressure. when we turn the knob for shower water, the wate pressue goes down to almost nothing (not enough to take a shower, we have to take baths). We have replaced the shower head and it made no difference. We ran a "snake" down the pipe (after removing the shower head, of course) and there seems to be no blockage. Our home is about 30 years old - we bought it nine years ago and have not had this problem before - not in the bathroom or any other room. Any suggestions of what the problem could be?
Sounds like the diverter valve.

SunBriteTVâs Outdoor Televisions Complete Three Sixtyâs Multimedia Experience
ORLANDO, Florida, June 13, 2013 â Twenty-six floors above the streets of St. Louis, MO sits Three Sixty, a sophisticated rooftop restaurant and bar known for its sweeping views of the city and Busch Stadium. Those views from the patio are perfected by an array of SunBriteTV outdoor televisions, delivering dinnertime entertainment, a visual backdrop for musicians or a live broadcast of the game below.
âYou can hear the roar of the stadium from the Three Sixty patio, but itâs impossible to see the game from that high up,â says Jim Conaway, Vice President of Information Technology, Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM). âThe SunBriteTVâs deliver the crucial visual component that makes Three Sixty an immersive experience for sports fans.â
LHM owns Three Sixty, which was constructed atop the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballparks and opened in July 2011. It was immediately acknowledged as one of best rooftop bars in the world, combining sports and late night entertainment in a striking location. Conaway attributes much of its success to consistent promotion and year-round marketability- coupled with state-of-the-art entertainment technology.
âWith our outdoor events like the Chilled & Distilled Parka Party in the winter and hot summers, we needed an outdoor A/V system that performed consistently,â says Conaway. âThe SunBriteTVâs ticked all the boxes: competitive pricing, high temperature tolerance and especially bright image delivery. You canât see the game from above, however, the SunBriteTVâs are completely recognizable from street level.â
SunBriteTVâs anti-glare screens are specially designed to produce bright, high-definition images in any climate, day or night. All models withstand temperatures from -24° to 122°F and completely resist rain, salt corrosion, moisture, humidity and insects.

An Honor To Be Nominated: Erin Brockovich
(If it can be difficult to remember who won the Academy Award for Best Picture, it's downright mindbending trying to remember everything else it was up against. In An Honor To Be Nominated, I'll be taking a look back at some of the movies the Oscar didn't go to and trying to determine if they were robbed, if the Academy got it right, or if they should ever have been nominated in the first place.) [Read on here...]

Warner v. Amazon goes viral, new Alamo story, 24: Live Another Day, Twilight Zone 80s, Twilight Time art & more
We've got some interesting odds and ends to talk about today… nothing major, but a few things worth touching out.
First, remember that story we posted last week about the contract kerfuffle between Amazon and Warner Home Video? Turns out it got picked up by The New York Times yesterday and both the Wall Street Journal and CNN Money today (among others – the story has basically gone everywhere today, but our thanks to NYT, WSJ and CNN Money for mentioning our involvement in breaking it). I should tip the hat to our very own Jeff Kleist who first sniffed out that something might be going on there a couple of weeks ago, thus setting me on the case with our industry sources. It's funny how these things go viral. I didn't think it was that big a story, but it turns out that Amazon is also in similar disputes with various book publishing companies too, including Hachette, so the sum of this story became bigger than its parts. [Read on here…]
New columns, Zulu U.K. screening tonight, Hepburn & Twilight's July, plus Uni catalog Blus & Hammer Horror DVD set
Okay... just a quick update today. I dropped my cell phone this weekend and cracked the screen. Naturally, I didn't buy the insurance since Verizon talked me into buying the fancy indestructible case. So anyway, it's meant a couple days scrambling while I try to get it fixed.
Meanwhile, we do have a new Doogan's Queue for you today from Todd, covering today's new releases on Blu-ray and DVD. We've also got Dr. Jahnke's latest Burnt Offerings: MOD DVD column detailing the latest from Warner Archive and such.

antinomyLine breaks: anti|nomy
Pronunciation: /anˈtɪnəmi /
Definition of antinomy in English:
noun (plural antinomies)
A contradiction between two beliefs or conclusions that are in themselves reasonable; a paradox: there are not many short novels capable of accommodating bewildering antinomies
More example sentences
- According to Kant, antinomies are not genuine contradictions, since both of the propositions that constitute them are false, being based on a false assumption.
- Thus, Frege himself concluded that the antinomy was due to unclarities in the symbolism Russell used to formulate the paradox.
- Although the result is a non-standard account of geometry as an inexact science, Hume thinks that he thereby preserves reason from otherwise irresolvable antinomies.
