Katy Perry is on a roll.
Just days after "The Smurfs" surprised everyone by matching the Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford big budget extravaganza "Cowboys and Aliens" box office dollar for box office dollar, Smurfette herself learned that she has pulled neck and neck with a musical icon as well.
Katy Perry's single "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" just hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts, giving the singer her fifth #1 single off the album "Teenage Dream." No pop singer has done that since Michael Jackson, who had five #1 singles off his 1987 release "Bad."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"Last Friday Night" is Perry's seventh #1 single, having hit the mark twice on her prior album "One of the Boys." The other four "Dream" #1's are "California Gurls," "Firework," "E.T.." and the title track, "Teenage Dream."
Perry is also the first musician in history to have four separate videos nominated for MTV Video Music Awards in a single year.

Lucy wore a gorgeous strapless, fishtail cream dress with beautiful vintage accessories and Jonathan wore a fantastic tweed suit with a knitted blue tie. Their colour scheme was just incredible with Lucy's bridesmaids in gorgeous peacock green dresses with red shoes and accessories and the boys in tweed with red ties and peacock feather boutonnieres.
After the ceremony an amazing dinner was served in one of their Tudor halls and I'm sorry but I challenge anyone to top the amazingly original table decoration that was all hand-made by Lucy and a friend (told ya she was talented)... we just couldn't get enough (hence the mammoth amount of photos). The speeches were heartfelt and there was a particularly funny speech from the three 'best men' which finished with an interesting rendition of 'Love and Marriage!'
The wedding cake was replaced by an assortment of mini cheesecakes, mousse and eton mess (to die for) and then everyone finished the afternoon out on the lawn with a spot of croquet and archery!
The evening reception was held at Tortworth Court Four Pillars Hotel and the night was spent dancing and of course... the Photo Booth! Perfect.
I had a fabulous day and it was made even better by having the totally amazing Joanna Brown as my Second shooter. Joanna is a true artist and I am totally in love with her work so it is such an honour to have her work alongside me... go check out her stuff (but before you do just have a look below....I will warn you that there are quite a few photos so you might want to get a brew or something.... I just couldn't leave any out!).....

Lacking any sort of nervous system, how do carnivorous plants like the aquatic bladderworts move with enough speed and purpose to catch their prey? These waterbound bug eaters are covered in tiny bladders which they've squeezed all the water out of, leaving them with an internal pressure lower than outside.
When triggered by passing larvae or nematodes, the trapdoor on the bladder opens extremely quickly, sucking prey into the water vacuum. Just how fast does this happen? High speed footage shows the doors open in 300–700 microseconds, faster than any recorded carnivorous plant, and faster than the prey's nervous system has time to process — which results in a plant able to out-move its prey.

Our DNA
Making Jesus Christ known in Oak Park & around the world
Our DNA
Who We Are & What We Live By
Everything we do, everything we say should flow out of our DNA. These five values shape our identity and our calling in Oak Park and around the world.
Beginning with the good news
What God accomplished in Christ is where we start. But what does it mean to be rooted in the gospel? Or draw life from the gospel?
It means to confront some bad news about the world and about yourself. Things aren't the way they're supposed to be. And we all know it.
But this bad news isn't the only news. Thankfully. Rooting your life in the gospel means embracing some fantastic news: all that God's done for the world through his Son, Jesus Christ. The glorious news we call the gospel.
And you must draw life from it by living in dependence upon it. By living a life of repentance, faith, and hope — rooted in the gospel.
Everyone. Everyday. No exceptions.
We cannot survive, much less thrive, without the gospel.
Finding God so magnificent that everything aligns with him
In our man-centered world God is not central. He's peripheral. Everything orbits around us, not him. Like the sun, we're the center. As for God, he's Neptune or Pluto.
Yet, this man-centered world is an illusion. God is central. He's the center. And we must say so with our lives. To live in a way that declares God as central, not ourselves.
But how?
By making much of God all the time. Not just on Sunday, but everyday. Not just at church, but everywhere. And by acknowledging Jesus Christ as preeminent in everything. No matter what the topic or task, seeing Jesus as supreme.
But not in our own strength. Only by relying upon the Holy Spirit all the time — at the grocery store and the gym, at the bank and in the bedroom — continually being dependent upon him.
When you see how massive and magnificent God is, everything in your life aligns with him. That's God-centeredness.
Prioritizing the task
The church has a revolutionary task. To make disciples. To help others become followers of Jesus. "Go therefore and make disciples," Jesus says.
But how easily we're distracted by a thousand other things! And how quickly we lose focus on the task at hand! If we're to maintain focus on discipleship, we must prioritize the person of Jesus. Discipleship is relationship — not following an idea, but a person.
Discipleship means prioritizing the Bible, where we find all that Jesus taught, and responding faithfully to it. We can't do this alone. Discipleship is individual, but not individualistic. We learn to follow Jesus in community, in relationship with one another, where we're nurtured and challenged by one another.
And it's for each and everyone of us. Every follower of Jesus must be a disciple who makes disciples.
Discipleship means being on the field and in the game. There are no bench-warmers. You're in the starting lineup, engaged in ministry to others and mission to the world. That's being discipleship-focused.
In Oak Park, for Oak Park
The gospel's not a private possession. Nor is God. If the gospel is real to you, and if God is real in your life, then you will find God and the gospel overflowing the bounds of your life into your community.
As a follower of Christ, your community matters. For you are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. So too, as a church, our community matters.
Oak Park must matter. Salt and light in Oak Park, for Oak Park.
Followers of Christ maintain a faithful presence within their communities. They seek the welfare of the city where God has placed them. There they settle, invest, serve, pray, and love.
They partner with others. They proclaim the whole gospel — the beauty, truth, and goodness of the gospel.
Faithfully following Jesus, a countercultural community for the common good. This is what it means to engage the community.
Concentrating on God's mission
The problem with mindsets is they can easily slip.
As a church, we can slip from being mission-minded to maintenance-minded in no time. And if that happens, the mission of the church becomes the maintenance of the activities of the church.
A mindset of maintenance means death to a church, as it does to a Christian. When we make decisions, lead ministries, use money, or orient our prayers in order to maintain the status quo, our church's days are numbered.
Staying mission-minded is not only necessary; it's absolutely vital.
And this is what it means to be mission-minded – to concentrate every energy on the one great end, the one great goal, before us: the Great Commission. Entrusting ourselves for the eternal good of others and the greater glory of God.
Let's pray to the God of the harvest. After all, it is his mission, and he will see it accomplished.

Inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) to developed countries – which bottomed out in 2009 – accelerated their recovery in 2011 to reach $748 billion, up 21 per cent from the previous year, UNCTAD's World Investment Report 20121 notes.
The recovery from 2010 has nonetheless made up only one fifth of the ground lost during the financial crisis of 2008–2009. Inflows remained at 77 per cent of the pre-crisis three-year average (2005–2007). Inflows to Europe, which had declined until 2010, showed a strong turnaround while robust recovery in the United States of America continued. While Australia and New Zealand attracted significant volumes, Japan saw a net divestment for the second successive year. The United States and Belgium, respectively, maintained their positions as the largest- and second-largest recipients of FDI among the developed countries (see figure 1, part a).
Recovery of outward FDI from developed countries gathered pace in 2011; the outflows exceeded $1.2 trillion, a level comparable to the pre-crisis average over 2005–2007, the report says. The robust growth (up 25 per cent from 2010) came on the strength of outward FDI from the United States, which reached $397 billion – above the country's 2007 peak – and from Japan, which doubled its level of 2010. The picture in Europe is more mixed. While outward FDI from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland almost tripled (up 171 per cent) to $107 billion, flows from Germany ($54 billion) dropped by half, and the Netherlands ($32 billion) by nearly as much. Outflows from Denmark and Portugal are at record highs, meanwhile. Japan became the second largest investor among developed countries after the United States (see figure 1, part b).
Despite the intensified eurozone crisis, total FDI flows into and out of the four most affected countries – Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain – appear to show little impact, although underlying variables show signs of distress, the report says. Reinvested earnings were down in all four countries and foreign transnational corporations withdrew debt capital from their foreign affiliates in those countries. Data on FDI outflows suggest that transnational corporations based in those countries may have transferred some assets to foreign affiliates (or left assets there in the form of reinvested earnings).
Developed countries' recovery in incoming and outgoing FDI will be tested severely in 2012, the report predicts. Forecasts based on economic fundamentals suggest inflows will be holding steady in North America and managing a modest increase in Europe. However, the increasing shares of intra-company loans and reinvested earnings make FDI flows volatile and hard to predict, especially in Europe. Data for developed countries show a fall of more than 60 per cent in cross-border sales of mergers and acquisitions and 76 per cent in cross-border purchases thereof over the first five months of 2012. Announcement-based greenfield data – that is, statistics on from-the-ground-up investments in new ventures – show the same tendency (down 24 per cent).

It seems like just yesterday that Glee's Finn (Cory Monteith) and Puck (Mark Salling) were rocking to Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" and getting their diplomas with the rest of the graduating seniors. But in just a few short months, a whole new crop of New Directions seniors will be turning their tassles.
During a visit to the Fox musical dramedy on Wednesday, executive producer Dante DiLoreto revealed the McKinley High Class of 2013 will include Blaine (Darren Criss), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Artie (Kevin McHale), Brittany (Heather Morris) — for realz this time — and possibly Sam (Chord Overstreet). So does that mean Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) should make room in their Brooklyn loft for some new roomies? Not necessarily. "I wouldn't be surprised if [you find] another cast member or a few other cast members ... in New York. That story has yet to reveal itself, but it seems like one of those natural conclusions," DiLoreto said. "Just like we all do in high school, they're going to different places and hopefully those are stories that we can blossom."
Glee's best and worst performance (so far!)
Ushkowitz revealed she would like to see Tina in particular go to the Big Apple. "In all honesty, Tina was, for the last three seasons, the underdog of the underdogs," she said. "She got crapped on a little bit. ... It made her so much stronger this season as a senior with so much more confidence. I want kids to be able to see that girl who they relate with come up in the world and gain this different confidence that she never thought she had before, and to go and maybe pursue New York because most people wouldn't guess that she'd be the one to succeed."
McHale also can see Artie following in Rachel and Kurt's footsteps, but to achieve a very different goal than many of his glee club counterparts. "It seems natural that he would maybe pursue the whole directing thing," he said.
Overstreet, on the other hand, said he could see Sam going down to Nashville — which he noted is not a terrible drive from Ohio. "Once I graduate, I'd probably save up a little money, get back on the pole. But then, I don't know, maybe I would move down to Nashville and do some country music," Overstreet said. "I think Sam likes his country music. I'm certainly a country music fan."
However, the award for most inventive answer definitely went to Morris. "I want my character to go to jail," she said. "There should be an episode where she just raises her hand and is like, 'I have to go to the bathroom,' and she never shows back up and you show her later and she's like in jail."
So what else is coming for the New Directions past and present in the meantime? Read on for more spoilers:
Someone's getting married: The New Directions have had plenty of memorable whiteboard lessons. However, this next Valentine's Day will bring an interesting new challenge for the glee club: a wedding?!DiLoreto and the cast could not ignore that word scrolled in big black marker across the whiteboard in McKinley High's choir room. "I think it's fair to say there is romance in the air. There is a wedding in the air,"DiLoreto said. "There are also some things that are going to shock the heck out of you."
A new love for Finn? After Rachel and Finn's emotional break-up and awkward reunion backstage at Grease, it sounds like a reconciliation isn't in the cards just yet. Producers hope to keep Dean Geyer, who plays Rachel's new-maybe boyfriend Brody, around for "a while." But don't shed a tear for Finn just yet. "I think that romance is going to play a part in his future too and where that takes us has yet to be determined," DiLoreto said of Monteith's character.
Glee: Should Brittany and Sam be together? We weigh the pros and cons
Brittana isn't getting back together anytime soon: Despite the online fury to the contrary, Morris says she prefers Brittany and Santana (Naya Rivera) as just friends. "It's more like we were just best friends and she was the only person that kind of stuck with me," Morris said. "It's good that she moved on and kind of gave me room to figure it out because I don't think that they were great for each other even though they were best friends. I think Sam kind of gives her more room to just be herself and that's a lot of fun. I think Santana was just like so serious for her that she couldn't just be weird, but her and Sam together are just really weird."
And neither is Klaine: "It's good to have some troubled water," Criss said. "I think it's good to show young people especially that really strong relationships — when they do part — it's not necessarily the end. It's sort of a new chapter for both people. I like that they're very much staying in each other's lives." Although Criss likes their time apart, he is still holding out hope for a happy ending. "Of course, I want to see them together in the end. Duh," he said.
But there may be a personal rough patch ahead for Blaine: When asked what he would like his character to do post-graduation, Criss was unsure, except to say he really wants to see Blaine work for it. "Regardless of where it goes, I would like to see Blaine struggle. He's a very privileged young lad who went to a private school, probably has a bit of money. Big things happen for him all the time that I'd like, if he does have everything going for him, [for him] to realize that things don't get handed to you," Criss said. "You have to work really hard. Things aren't served to you on a silver platter."
Glee airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Fox. What do you want to see for the New Direction seniors?

Bryan Hoch, MLB.com:
Following a tip from basketball star Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez traveled to Germany this month for experimental treatments on his troublesome right knee and left shoulder, the Yankees confirmed on Wednesday.Andrew Keh, Times:
With the club's approval, the Yankees third baseman was seen by Dr. Peter Wehling for an Orthokine procedure during a Dec. 5-9 trip to Dusseldorf, general manager Brian Cashman said during a conference call with reporters. ...
Major League Baseball was also consulted to avoid the appearance that Rodriguez might be receiving impermissible treatment. ...
Orthokine involves taking blood from the patient's arm vein, incubating it at 37 degrees Celsius and then spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate protective proteins. That solution is then injected into the afflicted area once or twice a week; in this case, Rodriguez's knee and shoulder.
The treatment is similar to the platelet rich plasma, or PRP, therapy that has been used by athletes - including Rodriguez - to treat joint pain and muscle injuries. Orthokine is said to have an anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing and cartilage-protecting effects, though its long-term viability is unknown.
When Alex Rodriguez informed the Yankees last month that he was interested in traveling to Germany to pursue a fairly new medical procedure, they were understandably concerned.John Harper, Daily News:
Twice in recent years team officials had been caught off guard when they learned that players under contract had undergone medical treatment of which they were not aware.
One of those players was Rodriguez, who initially informed the Yankees in December 2009 that he had not been treated by Anthony Galea, a Toronto doctor who was under criminal investigation in the United States over suspicion that he had provided athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
But it turned out that Galea had treated Rodriguez after his hip surgery in early 2009. ...
This has to be at least somewhat alarming to the Yankees, even if they were on board with Rodriguez's visit to Germany ... Indeed, it's not the procedure so much that's in question, even if it is not believed to be approved in the United States, so much as the neon-sign reminder of what the Yankees could be in for over the next six years.
In case you'd forgotten, A-Rod still has six years remaining on his contract, which means he'll turn 42 in July of the final year of his deal, 2017, at which point he'll still earn $20 million, down from the $31 million he made last year. ...
At least A-Rod shouldn't have to explain this one to the FBI ...
Even if he's going the extra 4,000 miles or so in search of the best possible treatment for his knee, the real issue is whether it will make a difference. Over the last four seasons, Rodriguez has had hip and knee surgery, as well as lesser injury issues with his shoulder, thumb, and quadriceps and groin muscles.
It seems unlikely that he can reverse that trend as he pushes toward 40. Perhaps more to the point, his trip to Germany indicates that A-Rod knows it.
In the fine Yankee tradition:
Not that there's anything wrong with that:

Sometimes I feel like motherhood is one giant witch hunt. In the great game of parenting, I am damned if I do. And I am damned if I don't.
Wear your baby! LET THAT KID HAVE SOME INDEPENDENCE, WHY DON'T YOU?! Give your baby unrestricted access to your breast! ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME YOU STOPPED BEING SELFISH AND WEANED? A little rice cereal in a bottle at two months makes a world of difference! COMMERCIAL RICE CEREAL IS PRACTICALLY BABY POISON!
Babies love to be outside! YOU SHOULD KEEP THAT BABY AT HOME IN WEATHER LIKE THIS! Spare the rod and spoil the child, that's what I always say! BABY GATES ARE CAGES, WHO WANTS TO IMPRISON THEIR CHILD? Keep your child away from television until they are at least three years old! TELEVISION IS NECESSARY FOR CULTURAL LITERACY!
That baby should be rear-facing as long as possible! THE CHILD ISN'T AN INFANT; TURN THAT CAR-SEAT AROUND! Diverse flavors as offered in commercial baby food are best for developing taste buds! IF YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR OWN BABY FOOD, YOU ARE EXPOSING HER TO HARMFUL SUBSTANCES! Create a set of blank keys for that baby; by having something 'important,' you're building self-esteem! CHEWING ON KEYS CAN EQUAL LEAD POISONING!
And so it goes. On. And on. And on.
This is the single most challenging part of motherhood for me: the criticism. For the first time in my life, the decisions I make (both great and small) are constantly analyzed OUT LOUD by complete strangers.
Most of the time, I nod and smile. I reassure them that they are certainly helpful, NOT AGGRAVATING AT ALL!, and I promise to keep their advice in mind.
But every now and then, this grey demon of defensive anger rises up inside of me. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I scream inside my head. She is my baby! I am a careful and doting parent! You will NEVER love my child, cherish my child the way I do! I. AM. HER. MOTHER. And I am doing my very best every minute of every day so leave me alone.
Then I resolve to really hand the next well-meaning jerk a piece of my mind. I'm going to TELL THEM WHAT I THINK OF THEIR RUBBISHNESS, I think to myself.
That's when it happens, of course. Someone taps my shoulder. "She's so beautiful and you can just tell she's well-loved." I beam with pride. "But don't you think she ought to be down for a mid-afternoon nap? She looks sleepy. You could even nap with her. It's so good for a baby to sleep with a parent, after all." I sigh.
Before I know it, I'm nodding and smiling. Maybe I'll give someone a piece of my mind tomorrow.
How do you handle unsolicited parenting advice?

Greensboro, North Carolina, November 17, 2009 – Honda Aircraft Company today launched "Operation Deep Appreciation" in support of U.S. service members stationed overseas. Honda and its associates are sending care packages to show their support and appreciation for U.S. service members on active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. One package is being sent for approximately each Honda associate at the company's Greensboro, North Carolina, campus.
The care packages are destined for North Carolina-based members of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps deployed from Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, respectively. Honda is providing the package contents, and Honda associates are individually packing the boxes and adding a personal note of thanks to each service member.
"With the establishment of Honda Aircraft Company in the Triad, we have endeavored to positively affect the community," said Michimasa Fujino, Honda Aircraft Company President & CEO. "Our associates' initiative to undertake this important program reflects their strong sense of pride in the community."
"We want U.S. service members to know that we are thinking of them this holiday season," said Stephen Keeney, Honda Aircraft Company Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs. "This program is a wonderful opportunity for Honda associates to demonstrate their thanks to the men and women overseas who serve our Country. Five hundred packages are being prepared and contain personal care items, socks, shower shoes, a selection of snacks and candies, batteries, holiday decorations, and other items. This care package is a small symbol of our appreciation for the sacrifice these individuals make on a daily basis to insure our security and freedom."
Honda Aircraft Company's associate ranks include retired U.S. service personnel who are actively participating in "Operation Deep Appreciation." "As a Marine, I am personally aware of the positive impact these symbols of support have on our troops. Receiving an unexpected package from home boosts the spirits of our troops and lets them know that America is thinking of them as they put themselves in harm's way," said Jon Wells, Honda Aircraft Company Manager of Logistics and Major, USMC, retired.
The packages are expected to arrive during the Thanksgiving holiday.
About Honda Aircraft Company
Honda Aircraft Company, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Ltd. Honda has invested more than $100 million to establish its aircraft world headquarters facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the research, production, and sale of its HondaJet advanced light business jet. Honda began taking orders for the innovative HondaJet in October 2006 in the U.S. and has amassed orders for well over 100 aircraft. The $3.9 million HondaJet is Honda's first-ever commercial aircraft and lives up to the company's reputation for dynamic performance together with superior efficiency.
The HondaJet incorporates many innovative technological advances in aviation design, including a unique over-the-wing engine-mount configuration that dramatically improves aircraft performance and fuel efficiency by significantly reducing aerodynamic drag in flight. This innovative approach to airframe design also lowers ground-detected noise when overhead and allows for a more spacious cabin and greater cargo capacity. The HondaJet achieves a top speed of 420 knots (483 mph), which is the fastest in its class, and offers the largest cabin and the best fuel efficiency in its class.
The HondaJet is powered by two highly fuel-efficient GE Honda HF120 turbofan jet engines. First deliveries of the HondaJet are scheduled for late 2011.

A coworker showed me that Batman V. Superman trailer yesterday while we were at lunch. I laughed times during it for the wrong reasons (like the Iron Bat Suit or w/e that was that gave Batman glowy eyes). This movie is going to be horrible. >.>
Batman using a power suit thing to fight Superman isn't exactly a new thing. I'm pretty sure it even happened like a decade before Iron Man ever used a special suit to fight The Hulk.
Quote from: Hathen on April 19, 2015, 12:04:38 AMBatman using a power suit thing to fight Superman isn't exactly a new thing. I'm pretty sure it even happened like a decade before Iron Man ever used a special suit to fight The Hulk.Whether it is new or not doesn't change the fact that it looked ridiculous (to me) in the five second clip of it in the trailer.Actually....I just thought about Batman having an anti-Superman suit, and it seems like a really bad idea this early in the franchise. In Dark Knight Returns, Batman was at the end of his career having passed his prime decades prior and was partially using it to compensate for that. But in this movie, he is apparently going to have an Iron Man suit at the beginning of his career and then either use it forever and be overpowered for his entire rogue gallery or never use his most powerful gadget ever again for....reasons. This just does not seem like a good idea long term....then again that describes just about every decision made by DC regarding their movie verse. x_x
On that note, do we even know much about the movie other than that Batman is using this suit and that Batman and Superman are going to fight? For the record, I think Man of Steel was really bad, I just don't see any reason to dislike this movie yet. Low expectations, I can understand, it just seems like people are making a whole of assumptions to rip on the movie for no real reason.And personally, I've never really cared about how one movie might affect another, even with the Marvel Universe. I just want good movies. Honestly half the time I feel like the Marvel movies are so obsessed with their universe it negatively impacts individual movies (Iron Man 2 is my go-to example).
Oh you are going to love Batman v. Superman if you don't like movies obsessed with their universes. Off the top of my head, I know that Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor will all be in the movie. I think there are other characters from the Justice League which will be showing up as well because this movie really is Justice League part 1. Side note, love Iron Man 2.

EchoStar, the company that owns Sling Media is launching a Freesat powered PVR in the UK to take on the likes of Humax, Sony, and Samsung.
The new box, called the EchoStar SlingLoaded HDS-600RS will come with a 500GB hard drive letting you record around 300 hours of television in SD and a 100 hours in HD, twin tuners, and the ability to "Sling" your new TV signal out to a range of mobile devices like the iPad as long as you've bought the relevant app.
Pocket-lint was invited to have an early gander of the new box ahead of the official UK launch.
We should probably get the bad news out of the way first: EchoStar have missed a trick here. While the HDS-600RS comes with the ability to transmit a TV signal from the box to your iPad, iPhone, Android device, Windows Phone 7 handset or just your PC or Mac over a Wi-Fi connection, it can only "Sling" the channel you are watching at the time even though it has got two tuners.
What would be a better option, in our mind, would be to allow you to watch what you want on the TV, and then let someone else in your house watch what they want on a Sling enabled device like one of those listed above. In other words you get to watch The Guns of Navarone while Mrs Pocket-lint watches EastEnders or Sex in the City.
But alas you can't do that: if you want to Sling, you'll be watching the same thing, which isn't as poetic as it sounds.
That killer feature missing aside, the box goes about trying to offer you a crisp clean interface to access all that Freesat has to offer in a design that will be familiar to any one who knows Sling Media: it looks just like a bigger Sling Box.
And bigger it is. The device is large, has a bulk about it complete with a retro 80s style design ethos that includes bright red touch-sensitive buttons shining out at you.
It's unlike anything that you'll see on the market in both terms of size and design. Why it's so big we aren't really sure.
All the standard connectivity options are found around the back with Ethernet being the way that you'll need to connect it to your network - no Wi-Fi option is available.
Learning its lesson over the exclusion of HDMI on the Sling Box Pro HD, it's all present and correct here and there is still Scart for those not really up on the latest way to connect to your TV.
Around the front there is a USB socket, but don't expect to use that to view videos or content like you could with the company's Sling Catcher product. EchoStar tell us it's for software updates only.
Inside and the HD Electronic Programme Guide is clean, and you get all the usual bells and whistles like Series Link thrown in.
You'll get BBC iPlayer as well and the promise of more terrestrial catchup services like 4oD and ITV Player promised for later in the year. EchoStar wouldn't confirm exactly when this would happen but it's likely to be sooner rather than later.
How much? No confirmed price but judging by what EchoStar have hinted and implied it should cost around £300 when it launches in the next couple of weeks.

Have made several pants with this pattern. Very easy directions.
This pattern was so reassuring and easy to follow for a complete beginner! It was easy to adapt to fit my super skinny child whose pants are either falling down b/c I can't cinch the waist enough, or the legs are too short. I'm looking forward to making more!
This is one of the first patterns I ever learned to sew,over the years it is still my go to My grandkids love them
Simple pattern. Great for beginners. I've used this many times.
Love this pattern It is super easy to follow and you can easily adapt it to your child regardless of height. I have made fleece pants and cotton pj pants
this pattern is very easy, I've made pj pants as well as pantaloons for under dresses! Thanks!
Made pajamas for kids using this pattern and a raglan shirt pattern. They came out very cute.
Made these several times. Perfect for boys and girls. Only thing I changed is added a change in rise for my older son.
I LOVE this pattern! I have been making them for years. Everyone always loves them when I make them. They are quick and easy to make, and come out great every time.
loved this pattern great instructions
Super quick to cut out and assemble. Easily done in an afternoon.
SEW in one afternoon!! Cute and comfy!!
Great pattern, easy to follow instructions (with lots of pictures!!) and they go together quick!
Love this pattern. So quick and easy. They are great pants for everyone in the family.
A little cumbersome to use getting the measurements straight. Have made theses pants a few times and recommend adding an inch or two to the back piece - always turns out with a "plumber's smile" otherwise! Overall, a very versatile pattern!
There aren't enough stars!! This is the easiest pattern EVER! I made all my kids and my niece and 2 nephews pajama pants with this pattern and the raglan top and they were a great hit! LOVE IT!!
Crazy easy pattern to make. I made some to go with a peasant top and they turned out great, and just the right length when I figured out the measurements with ruffles. Definitely going to make them again. I bought the adult size as well, need to make some pj pants for me and see how they turn out.
I love this pattern! I have the adult version, too, and I think I have made every size multiple times. It is extremely well written and easy to follow. I have yet to find a Carla C pattern that didn't hit the mark.
I love this pattern! It's a classic!
I really love these - they are my all-time fave go-to pattern for PJ pants! I can whip up a pair in less than 15 minutes if I don't add any embellishments, so I can make several pairs for each of my 5 kids in one day - I love that. They have cute variations too. I always cut 2 inches off the rise of these after drawing out my pattern since I just serge 2 inch elastic onto the edge, fold over, and sew down on the sewing machine. My kids love them and always tell me they are comfy. :)
Great pattern!!!
Just like the grown up version. This is great introduction to sewing.
I love this pattern!! I have used it so many times for boys and girls. One of my favorites!!
Such a fabulously versatile dress it up or down!
Great pattern! Very detailed instructions and easy to follow.
love this pattern. easy to follow and quick to make
Another fabulous pattern by a fabulous designer. The sizing is always a true fit and the instructions are clear for anyone so even the beginner seamstress can whip up a pair of pants with ease!
Love, love, love the pattern; love the fit; you can't go wrong!
Great pattern.
Love this pattern! Super easy & quick!
The first pattern I ever bought and it is easy peasy!
I have used this pattern many times, very handy to have in your stash.
This is the best pants pattern out there. I recommend it to all my friends who want to learn to sew because 1. It's easy, and 2. Because Carla teaches you how to sew as you go along! SO many options too! Love it!
Make these all the time for my kids. They love them! The pattern is very easy for me to follow as a beginner.
I have had this pattern for a few years now, and have made countless shorts for my boys and cute shorts and capri pants for my girls. I have made every length that comes with it. I have added ruffles and other embellishments. This pattern is probably the most used in my collection. I love it!
Very easy to understand instructions, a great pattern for novice in sewing like myself!!!
easy peasy
Super pattern. Good basic pants for girls or boys.
Love these pants for my boys. Love that you can add a different fabric for the cuff.
I have had this pattern since the very beginning and its the one I always go back to!
Great instructions and easy to make :-)
sooo easy to make and understand! As awesome pattern.
Love, Love LOVE this pattern! It's my absolute favorite of any pant pattern that I have ever messed with. I literally learned how to sew from this very pattern. I had no experience with sewing until I bought this pattern. I decided I was going to teach myself and with Carla C, you can do just THAT! I only knew how to sew a straight line and that was IT! This is the easiest pattern you could ever buy! LOVE IT! After I bought this pattern and some others of Carla C's patterns, I opened my own boutique and now make custom clothing for girlies all over and am STILL using this very pattern! :)
Very easy pattern. Perfect for my little girl she love to have one of a kind outfits at school. Thanks.
Cute pants! Lots of options.
Used this pattern to make fleece pants for my son. Just made the waistband 2 inches shorter than the recommended elastic amount for his size. We love the extra wide legs. I would prefer having whole pattern pieces instead of using pattern pieces to make the rest of over-all it is a very nice pattern. I liked them enough to go ahead and buy the adult version also.
A must have pattern! I have made so many pants and they are so easy with this pattern.
I make these pants/shorts all the time. This is a very easy pattern to follow.
really great easy pattern.
Love the options and details!! And that it only has two pattern pieces is definitely a bonus!!
super be used to make coordinating pants for our family photo in
Great pattern. Fun variations.
I made seven pairs of these as Christmas gifts for all the little kids in the family. The directions are super simple and very clear. Plus the pattern itself is really easy to modify for perfect fit. I cut out and serged six of these in less than 4 hours (and that was assembling all the patterns too.) The other pair was part of my daughter's Christmas pjs and they were so much fun to embelish. awesome pattern.
I've made these about a million times. They are easy to sew and have a comfy fit. This is an essential pattern for every seamstress.
This is my go to pattern for pants. I use it all the time.
easy to make but I feel the pants legs are to wide
Very easy to follow!! Perfect pattern for boutique outfits and pajama pants! My kids love these!! One of my favorite patterns yet! And amazingly easy to follow!
I have made many, many pairs of easy pants (with and without cuffs or ruffles) for my kids. This pattern is fantastic. It is easy and versitle; it makes great pants, shorts, and PJs. I would recommend it.
This pattern is so thorough! It is very easy to follow once I measured my little guy and figured out what size to make him. It was really easy to customize it since he is super tall and skinny. The directions are clearly written and very easy to follow along with pictures of each step. There are so many different pants/ shorts/ capri options options that this pattern is well worth the money!!! I can't wait to make some with ruffles for my girls. I think this is our new favorite pants pattern!!! LOVE IT!
Great pattern and tutorial. Had never made pants before and you made it easy! Thank you
The most used pattern in my collection. I have made so many of these in all sizes for my kids and as gifts. Best pattern ever.
After trying another pant pattern that was a huge fail I bit the bullet and bought this one. OMG I Love it!! There are so many options, sizes etc. You can even use the doll pattern for nb or build a bear pants. I hope you many consider adding on extra ruffles to it.
I love this pattern and all Carla's patterns. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. These are my go-to pants pattern with so many easy variations!
I am a very novice sewer. This pattern was very easy to follow and my 7 year old son really liked his pants. Am making matching pj pants for us for Christmas morning since I also bought the adult size pattern as well.
This has been my go to for easy sew pants and shorts for years now. Very easy to understand instructions for the beginner.
Very cute, and easy pattern with ruffles, or bands, add some appliques for your own version.
By far my favorite pattern for pants. Clearly written instrustions. Perfect for beginners, intermediate and the like.
My go to pants pattern. So easy and so quick.
Favorite pants pattern ever!!!
Everybody got these for Christmas.
You can't go wrong with Easy Fits! Everyone I've made them for loves them.
This is the BEST pants pattern around. Anyone can make these. I generally use this pattern to help nervous beginners feel more confident. They are able to whip up a true garment within 45 minutes on their first time at a machine. As someone more experienced, I can cut/press/sew in under 20 minutes now. this is my go-to pattern for last minute PJ pants requests.
Love this one! So easy to follow better!
love it! so great for making pj/lounge pants!
what a fantastic pattern. it's so thorough and easy to follow, and personalising your project is amazingly simple with the instructions.
the things I learned in this pattern and others from this designer I have been able to apply to other projects!
So super easy to make. I have two boys & a girl, three different sizes & I can make them all pants from this one pattern. They are perfect :)
super easy
I love how fast I can make these! Super easy and GREAT for adding appliques! Best of all, my daughter loves them :)
Love these pants! Really easy to make & fit my daughter well. Only complaint is that there is no "standard" length for pants & capris. The chart for average measurements are helpful, but perhaps the "industry standard" length for pants and for capris could be bolded in the chart to show what is the norm, for those purchasers who don't have access to a model to fit the pants on.
Love the pattern Thank you =)
Very detailed pattern with many variations of pant to make up. I love this designer's patterns. Highly recommend!
This is my all time favorite! Very quick and easy pattern to follow! Cannot believe its this easy to make pants and capris to match any outfit!
Super easy and love the results!
This is a real easy pattern!! Great for beginners.
Can't wait to try this out.
Excellent pattern and really easy for a beginner! I never thought I could make my kids shorts and pants but I have made several pairs of these and they are a huge hit with my kids! Thank you!
GREAT pattern. It's a great resource to have for first time sewers.
Super easy to put together. Great pattern. Runs a little big and I wish it had the shorts standard measurements
Thank you so much for this pattern. I use it for pj pants, light summer pants and have also made them into mid length shorts. So easy to make and so quick.
very easy and perfect fit every time
I've made several pair of these, all as pj pants for my kids, nieces and nephews. So easy and quick! I was able to make 4 pair in a night!
This is my number one go to pants pattern. I can't begin to count the number of times I have recommned it.
My favorite Pattern after the first pair I can make them in about 30-45min. Pieces are so simple I can cut out several at a time with a rotery cutter.
Is is so easy to make cute ruffle pants with this pattern. This is one of my favorite Carla C patterns ( and I have almost all of them.)
Another great pattern by my favorite designer.
I have made several of these in all different lengths. I LOVE this pattern!
Great Pants they are so easy and look too cute!
I love this pattern... I have made so many pants, capris and shorts... thanks
this pattern was the first pattern I ever bought and first clothing item I ever sewed.
I adjust the pattern so it won't be so LOW rise but all in all its an easy pattern and in no time I can sew a pair of pants,capris or a shorts !
I love this pattern! It's the only pattern I use to make pants or shorts. It's so easy and quick.
super easy and super cute! Great pattern!
BEST PATTERN IN THE WORLD!!!!!! I have used it many times and will continue to do so for years to come. SOOOOO easy great beginner pattern. Many options for trims the possiblities are limitless. The directions almost make the pattern it self.
Use this pattern to make pj pants for Christmas LOVE IT
This is an absolute must have pattern!!! It is super easy and Carla C's instructions are amazingly easy to follow, even for a beginning sewer. They are also super versatile and can be used to go with so many things!!!
Awesome! This is constantly my go-to pattern for all kinds of pants for my two youngest children (one boy, one girl) ~ they love them because they are super comfortable to wear, and I love them because they are super fast and easy to make. A great pattern with clear directions - definitely a favorite...love, love, love it! Thanks :)
I LOVE these pants!! They are super easy to make and turn out just adorable!
Very nice & easy pattern
Love this pattern! Great for a first project!
This is a truly great pattern. I'm from Itlay and we use metric measurements here but even so it was SO easy to sew pants in about 2 hours, it took me more to print and figure out sizes etc. than making pants! I'm sure next time it will be much quicker!
Great pattern! Quick and easy pattern to follow. Pants turned out perfect!
If I was asked to count how many times I've used this pattern I could NOT tell you. Capris, ruffles, no ruffles...and adding embroidery to them...love these pants!!
This is the BEST pants pattern I have ever made! I will be making many of these in all different ways for a long time! Both my 6yo and 11yo love them and are wearing them right now. AWESOME!!
Very easy to make. Love how it cover so many sizes!
Great pattern! Love that I can use it for both my son and daughter!
I love this pattern! So easy and so versatile. I have made pants and shorts for all four of my kids (2 girls and 1 boy). Pants, Pj pants, "jeans" with some heavy denim I found, possibilities are endless!
Perfect Pants Pattern!! Great detail and instruction! Perfect every time!
GREAT pattern. Lots of different options.
Great pattern fun to make!!Easy to follow..Thanks..
I had a little trouble getting started, but I attributed that to the fact that it was at the END of a LONG day & I haven't touched my machine in about 3 months. )=
It took me about 4 hours from start to finish {{with lots of 'family breaks'!}}. And I mean from cutting the pattern & creating my custom fit to finishing the garment. I made a pair of long shorts for my son & they will be SUPER comfy at WaltDisneyWorld next week!
As usual, CarlaC has provided WONDERFULLY Easy and Detailed instructions!
This is my "go-to" pattern for shorts and pants. My kids can't get enough of their easy fit bottoms! From shorts to pajamas, they are always in their easy fits! Thank you!
I have owned this pattern for a few years now and it is easily the most used pattern in my collection. Like all of Carla's patterns, the directions are so clear and detailed that even a beginner can make great pants from this pattern.
This is the best pants pattern ever! I bought it back when it first came out and have been using it steadily ever since. I had made pants for my twin granddaughters, my friends kids (boys and girls), my friends (from the adult pattern), my husband and wil eventually even make me some! I love it - so easy to follow and quick to stitch up. I have quite a few patterns by Carla C and Sis Boom and every one has been perfectly written! Thanks for providing the sew with quality patterns at a great price!
SUPER easy pattern! LOVE IT! I also purchased in the adult sizes for my hubby and myself!
These pants are so easy to make! I've abandoned any other pj pants patterns I was using. My kids love them too!
Super easy pattern and super easy to follow instructions!!
Easy lounge and pajama pants for me son...Yes Please!!! I love this pattern. How simply can you get! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Going to get it in the bigger size so I can make some for myself! Again...LOVE LOvE LOVE!
I absolutely love this pattern, I have made it in all available sizes, for my kids, my dad, brother, and myself. I highly recommend it to everyone!
really easy i have made a few of these now.
Great pattern! The crotch came out too short on the first pair,but I"ve changed that.
I love these pants. We use them for jammies, but they are so quick and amazing that I bought the adult size, too.
great pattern! works up so quickly.
I heard so many good things about CarlaC and her patterns. I thought that it was too good to be true. I was so wrong! These pants are the easiest patterns that i have ever used. The directions are put so that my 9 year old daughter can even sew pants not only for herself but for her siblings also. My first pair took me about 2 hours because I kept doubting that I was doing it right. Now 1 week later and about 20 pairs later I can make a pair of pants in a 30 minutes or less! This is a must have pattern!!!
A must have pattern!!!! Very easy and kids love the pants.
I have used this pattern for all my 3 kids and they love love love their pants! Easy to sew, clear explaination, fast to finish. Love it!
This is my go to pajama pants pattern for both my son and daughter. It goes together so quickly and easily and my daughter loves that I can make matching pants for her American Girl doll.
Love this pattern! Have made several
What a great pattern! Made pants for both kids for the holidays, and I'm sure I will make more. Thank You!
Absolutely a go to staple pattern in my collection. I still marvel at how simple it is!
I bought this and the adult pattern and they were so easy even for someone like me who hasn't really sewn since home ec!
I especially love that you size your child because my 7 year old is 49 inches tall but only 47 pounds so everything is always too short or too big around!
This is a great tutorial after I read it and tried it once the next time it only took me 20 minutes to whip up a pair of ant for my little girl!!!
Such a great pattern for a beginner. I love the possibilities this pattern offers!! Now to find the time to make some more pants! :)
Carla's patterns are all wonderful and these are no exception! They are so easy to put together! Two simple pieces and just a couple of steps. I love that Carla includes so many different variations for one simple pattern. Her measurement techniques are so easy to follow in provide a perfect fit every time. I love that she has matching doll patterns also. You can NEVER go wrong with any of Carla's patterns, including the ones she rights for SisBoom also.
So many options for this staple pattern!
Great pattern.
Very easy to make, with many finishing options. great for capri's in the summer, or add a lining for winter. And with the size range you can use it again and again for years!
My favorite pants pattern EVER. This is the so easy to follow and you get so many design options.
This pattern is awesome!!!! I have used this pant pattern in so many different ways. Easy to follow and well written
Super quick and easy to put together! And so easy to modify with hems, ruffles and the like for totally different looks! I find them rather generously sized though so I'm trying to figure out how I might now add a second ruffle to the bottom as they are still plenty big in the waist for my daughter but very short...
This pattern is the best!! It is so versatile. You can go from casual capris/shorts, to the "dressy" ruffled and appliqued pants in a snap. I love that I can use it for my son and daughter.It is so easy to understand for beginners yet people who have been sewing for years love it too.
Fantastic pattern! Easy to follow instructions and fabulous results!
BEST pant pattern ever! I can't count the amount of times that I have used this! Most versatile pattern for boys and girls out there! LOVE it!
What can you say about this pattern. It is the easiest, most versatile pattern in my collection. I have made pajama pants, shorts, capris, full length version out of denim, dress pants with ruffles. If we need a pair quickly I know that I can whip these up from start to finish in an hour ( and I am a slow sewer !!) You will never regret purchasing this pattern.
This pattern is my "go to" pattern. If you only buy one pattern- this is the one to get!!!
This is a great pattern! And SO easy to make - easy to follow instructions and lots of pictures. The possibilities are endless with this pattern - you will love how easy it is to follow - your kids will love the fact that they have lots of different pants to wear because these go together so fast you'll be making them by the dozen. Thanks!
What can i say that hasn't already been said?? Carla C's patterns are AMAZING! They are simple to follow, the items are easily constructed, and the instructions are sooooo detailed that even the most novice of sewers could attempt them. Highly recommended to ALL
this is my always Go To pattern
quick n easy but awesome results !
I love this pattern! I am definitely a beginner when it comes to sewing, and this was a breeze for me to do. It went together very quickly, and the instructions were so easy to follow. CarlaC is my go-to designer for patterns because her instructions are so clear. Will definitely be making more in the near future!
Absolutely the easiest pants pattern to follow, ever. I've used it so much, I have it memorized and I construct all pants in the same way regardless what their patterns states. It's one of my absolute favorites. There is just something about Carla's patterns that makes sense and it just clicks. My favorite designer.
We love this pattern. It's been the pattern I've used most since I learned to sew a few years ago. It's been great for both my kids and is so flexible. The pants I made for my 1 year old son lasted until he wore them as shorts when he was three. (And I'm so glad there's a pattern for the next sizes up.)
LOVE THIS PATTERN, I love ALL of Carla's patterns, love the detail, easy to follow easy to read and easy to sew!!! FABULOUS!!! I make my girls matching doll pj pants with these and i use to pattern to make my daughter her jeans as she is hard to fit for in store bought jeans so its easier to make them and this pattern is great
So easy to make pjs as well as boutique pants!!
Love these pants! They fit great over cloth diapers with no alterations. They were very quick and easy to make. And since the pattern goes up to 10years old, I know I will get a lot of use out of it.
Kids love these pants and are always asking for me to make them more.
I have made this pattern SOOOOO many times. My children virtually live in these pants. Fantastic for sleepwear with the wider fit. I do tend to use a size down for the waist as I have slender children (so a size 5 with a size 3 or 4 waist for my eldest). I'm used to customising for them though!
I recently bought the adult version and can't wait to make some for my hubby and I - perhaps just sleepwear!
Super easy and super fast to sew. I have made dozens of these.
This pattern was easy to follow, I made a pair of pants with glittery hem for my daughters dance recital and made them in a day.
Super easy pattern to work with. I have a very hard to fit daughter and niece so this pattern was an absolute joy to find! It's my go-to pattern for all pants!
I have bought several patterns now from YCMT but this pattern is by far one of my favorites!! I love adding appliques to the pants giving them a one of a kind look! A+++
These are so easy to make and versatile for boys and girls. Defintely worth the buy. Good for all 5 children. Where else can you buy patterns like that !
I love this pattern. I only bought it 2 days ago and I've already made 2 pairs. It is so simple and easy to follow and so quick too. Perfect for a busy mum like me. Thank you.
This pattern is so simple and fast! Excellent instructions. And versatile too, I'm sure I will be using this pattern for years to come for the kiddos! It's what they want to wear ... easy fitting anything! Only little piece of advice: if using a busy print for contrasting cuff effect or ruffles make sure you figure out what part of the print you want to be seen, side to side and back to front. I have one pair I made with a bit of a plaid disaster! LOL
Love this easy pattern...and it is perfect for easy on easy off.
The first pair of pants I made in about an hour and they were perfect! I LOVE this pattern. I use it for all of my pants now. And they are perfect for both boys and girls. Very versitile, very easy. This e-book is so easy to understand and has patterns and templates for all sizes!!
WOW. talk about super easy to make.. and took no time at all to make. just made a pair for my newphew. loving this pattern.i team them with a shirt and stitch an applique on to make it a gorgeous one of a kind set. sooo adorable.
I LOVE this pattern!! I made four pairs of shorts in the first 24 hours. I timed myself on the last pair, and from uncut fabric to finished shorts was 50 minutes using only a sewing machine. LOVE the versatility and LOVE the tips!! I've been sewing for 32 years, and this is my favorite pattern EVER!!
I just finished making two pairs for my boys and I can't believe how easy this was to follow. I'm a real "beginner" too as this is the first type of clothing I've ever made. The instructions are super easy to follow and the pants are really cute, comfortable, and well constructed.
This is the easiest pants pattern ever and it is very cute. I just finished my first pair and it took less than 1 hour. I love all of the sew boutique for dolly patterns and this is my favorite so far.
AMAZING! I loathe commercial patterns and this pattern is right up my alley. Carla is brilliant! My daughter loves her new pants and I am planning tons more, they are SO easy! Perfect results and Carla's patterns are also a feast for your eyes, her graphic designs, instructions and photos are beautiful!
I made the ruffled capri pants and they were super easy. The instructions are so detailed there is no way you can go wrong. Plus my girls loved how comfy they were. I can't wait to make more!
These are super simple to make. I was able to whip em up in a half hour.. which is nice being I have 2 girls to make them for.
These pants are SO simple to make. I couldn't believe how quick I could make them. I have already made 3 pair and I plan on making many more. Next will be the matching dolly PJs.
LOVE this pattern! I bought it and made the pants in just a few hours-all while trying to sew with my 16-month-old son on my lap. I love the folding cards-such a smart idea! Thanks
Thank you SO very much for making this pattern available! This was my very first sewing project completed on my own & I aced it! The pants are perfectly adorable, I can't believe I did it! You made it possible & I'll always be grateful to you. God bless!
Since purchasing this easy pattern I have made so many different styles, sometimes I add a ruffle, make capris, shorts add a cuff. This pattern is very simple and so easy to follow. I can make a pair of these in about a half hour. I would say that this is the most used pattern I have ever purchased.
This is the first clothing item I have ever sewn and it was very easy to make! Love the pattern and super easy to follow instructions! Very pleased! Only drawback is the lack of non-flared option in the same pattern.
OK it is official this is my new best friend when it comes to pants. They came together so quickly and the contrasting cuff looked great. There is also many suggestions on how to get different looks which I liked too. Oh and your templates ... gee where were you when I started sewing years ago ... thank you so much! Carla this is a real gem.
I LOVE this pattern. I have made so many pants for my kids and now the neighborhood kids because their moms like my kids pants so much. Both for the girls with ruffles and for the boys for pj bottoms. It's very easy to make and fits perfectly if you take the correct measurements! Thanks for a great pattern! (Now I'm going to try the adult pattern for myself and make some flannel pants now that it's getting chilly!)
My daughter is getting her first Big Girl American Girl Doll for Christmas so I bought this pattern primarily to make the doll pants and it is SO EASY!!!! I have never been good at making clothes but I am an avid blanket and tote bag maker but this made clothes so easy!! I definitely recommend it!!!!!!
I have made so many pants from this pattern that I can't even remember how many now! I have made pajama pants for my 5 kids the past 2 Christmases plus several capri pants for my daughter and shorts for one of my boys, plus gifts for 2 nephews and a niece. This is super easy, and the instructions and pictures are terrific! I love love love this pattern and will undoubtedly use it many more times before my kids grow out of these sizes!
I've made many different styles of pants from this pattern! Great for little kids for easy on and easy off. Very easy to make, takes less than an hour. Carla does a great job explaining the steps!
I bought a pattern for pants from a fabric store and was sooo frusterated I thru it away. I'm brand new to sewing so I had no idea where to start with a pattern. But I LOVE THIS PATTERN! Not only is it SO simple (only 2 pieces to cut out!), the author goes into such detail about each and every step of the process! From tons of pictures, to the wonderful step by step instructions, I'm Hooked! I'll NEVER buy a pattern from the store again. I'm purchasing the peasant top pattern asap to go with my CUTE new pants! Thank you so much!!!
I love this pattern. I made some pants for my son and he loves them. I have little sewing experience and I found all the in depth details helpful along with the pictures. I got a little confused on the pattern. I didn't realize I had to put the pattern pieces together since the smaller sizes came together, but soon learned those were examples pieces. The first pair I made were really small. After I figured that out it was a breeze!! I can't wait to make more!
The best!!! Easy to understand instructions and assembly is a breeze. Carla keep the patterns coming!!!
Simply put, I think Carla is the best ebook creator because she explains everything. Perfect for beginner sewers and even advanced sewers will be able to whip these adorable pants out. I cant stop making these pants and my kids love wearing them. I have made my daughter 3 pairs and my son 1 pair and ordered more fleece to make us matching christmas pants. I even made my daughters Build a Bear a pair of these pants. This ebook gave me the confidence to try other more complicated projects (twirl skirts).But I do still feel Carla C is one of the best ebook creators. Thank you Carla for a great ebook! oh yeah, I have been able to use the folding cards with my other projects as well!!! Buy this ebook!
I have bought 5 patterns so far from her and I LOVE them all! The only thing I wish is that there were instructions for how to make narrower legs if desired. My baby is very short in the legs and the extra wide fit of these makes him look like a huge bubble. I own the adult pattern as well and it is perfect! Thanks again for another great pattern :)
this is my favorite pattern ever! I had NO trouble understanding..it makes up in less than an hour and it is so easy to embelish. Plus the author's tips and suggestions were SO helpful.
Yes, these can be made up in about 30 minutes once the pattern is traced & ready to go. This pattern is SUPER as is for p.j. bottoms & super casual pants or shorts. However, for true boutique wear, adjusted the rise in the pattern (thus now have 2 patterns pieces instead of 1) so there would be an obvious front & back as I don't like all the extra fabric poofing out in the front. All in all, great pattern; wonderfully thorough instructions. My 7 year old made a pair all by herself - except the ironing. They are that easy to do!
another great epattern by Carla i love her patterns this was really easy and lots of fun i made two sets of pants in less then a few hours they dont take long at all will be making more soon need some fabric :)) Will you do a adult sizes in these pants that would be awesome if you could
This is my favorite pants pattern..I have bought others, but yours is my favorite ! I had to alter the pattern to adjust the rise. I had too many people complain their girls felt like their pants were falling off. I made a pair for my daughter and sure enough it barely covered her diaper in pictures. I added an inch or two to the top of the pattern and bingo, alot better fit !
This pattern is essential for easy-to-sew pants that look adorable! They are very versatile, easily altered, and easily embellished. Carla even gives great embellishing ideas along with how to do it! My 8 yr old had a wonderful time creating her doll a cute pair of shorts. Carla leaves nothing to chance...follow her step-by-step instrucions and you WILL have a great pair of pants/shorts!
Love these pants! They fit great over cloth diapers with no alterations. They were very quick and easy to make. And since the pattern goes up to 10years old, I know I will get a lot of use out of it.
This is THE BEST and my favorite pants pattern I have used. Other patterns seem complicated but not this one. I was done with my first pair in less than an hour! I loved it so much I am making more for my 4 year old.
Lovely pattern! My first pair was done within 30 minutes after getting the pattern taped together. Super cute pants - I can't wait to try them on my daughter when she wakes up! I can see lots and lots of use from this pattern. VERY much worth the money! I'm keeping my eyes open for more patterns from Carla!
I have made 3 pairs of pants using this e-book. The directions are *sew* easy, the measurement guides are a wonderful resource. I even went ahead and added ruffles to mine. In the past I have had problems with other patterns fitting my daughter- these fit her like a glove. GORGEOUS!
IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT. Yes, YOU. The one reading these testimonials and wondering if you, the ultra-newbie, will really be able to make a *garment* with this pattern. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Carla is a brilliant teacher; her step-by-step instructions will never leave you wondering what to do next, or feeling like someone glossed over an important piece of information that Real Seamstresses know intuitively. Every detail is included. You will be able to make ADORABLE pants with this pattern! I love that I can buy one e-book and make pants for both my 3yo daughter and 6yo son... full length pants, crop pants/capris, shorts, you name it, all directly from this e-book without having to modify or guesstimate. If I can do it, you can do it. And it's so FUN! :)
LOVE THIS PATTERN, actually love ALL of Carla's patterns, love the detail, easy to follow and easy to sew!!! FABULOUS!!!
this is an AWESOME pattern! so easy and so versatile! the instructions were so clear and the tips were so helpful. super easy to make and i whipped these out in about an hour. i will be making more.
So fast and fun! I love this pattern to bits. I almost never make my daughter a dress without a pair of these for underneath these days. They also make great PJ pants for her and dolly to match. I have made quite a few pairs of shorts and pants for my son from this pattern as well. Absolutely one of my favorite patterns ever, hands down!
Another great pattern by this designer. I love it. I made pants in an hour that are cute and comfy.

This panorama was taken in Enterprise Square, University of Alberta. This new UAlberta campus is in the former Bay Building, a historic, well-known landmark in the heart of downtown Edmonton. Enterprise Square houses the Faculty of Extension, Alberta Family Business Institute, and the School of Business' Executive Education and Lifelong Learning programs, along with a number of administrative units, retail space and TEC Edmonton, the university/city joint venture in research commercialization.
The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore."It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, VancouverText by Steve Smith.

Kristen Stewart's Nightmare: Seeing Robert Pattinson With New Woman
Kristen is praying that Rob will forgive her & take her back. Her worst nightmare is seeing him with someone else.
Despite recent reports that Kristen Stewart was spotted flirting with James Franco in Toronto, the 22-year-old actress says that she only has eyes for her scorned beau Robert Pattinson.
"Kristen is clinging onto the belief that Robert will eventually forgive her for the cheating scandal and they will get back together," a source tells RadarOnline.com. "She doesn't want to even picture the idea of Robert meeting someone else because it fills her with dread."
As HollywoodLife.com told you earlier, Rob was spotted Aug. 23 cozying up to Katy Perry at LA's Soho House.
"They are close friends and can just be themselves when they are with each other," an insider told us.
Though time has passed since Rob first learned of the sordid affair, the source says he's still unsure if we wants to reunite with Kristen:
"It's still all up in the air. Robert has no idea what he wants to do and he's dithering over a decision. He loves Kristen, but his family told him to forget about any ideas he has of taking her back."
Do YOU think Rob and Kristen will get back together?

The Big East has reached an agreement with seven departing basketball members that will allow them to separate from the football schools and create their own conference on July 1.
The announcement was made on Friday.
"With the long-term well-being of our outstanding institutions and their student-athletes of paramount importance, each group worked through a number of complex issues in an orderly, comprehensive and amicable manner marked by mutual respect," said Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco.
Aresco told The Associated Press on Friday the seven Catholic schools that are leaving to form a basketball-centric conference will get the Big East name, along with the opportunity to play their league tournament in Madison Square Garden.
Aresco, who will remain commissioner of the football league, would not disclose the financial part of the settlement.
A person familiar with the negotiations told the AP earlier this week that the football schools will receive about $100 million from a $110 million stash the conference had built up over the last two and a half years through exit and entry fees as well as NCAA men's basketball tournament funds.
"It's been an arduous four months but we got to the right place," Aresco said in a phone interview. "I think both conferences have good futures."
Aresco said the football schools have not chosen a name for the new conference and there are no favorites yet. He also said they have not determined how that $100 million or so will be split among the members.
U.S. & World
Earlier this week, ESPN reported league officials were leaning towards calling the new conference the American 12.
The person familiar with the negotiations said the bulk of the money will go to holdover members Cincinnati, UConn and South Florida.
The divorce agreement with the basketball members, and the football schools' new TV deal with ESPN, still must be ratified by the school presidents. Aresco said that should come soon and without glitches.
Next up on the agenda for the football schools, Aresco said, is to find a 12th member and venues for future basketball tournaments.

Gold Gloves
Both are switch-hitters. Both are from northern California. Both can run and both can field with the best.
Say hello to two Phillies Rawlings Gold Glove shortstops, Larry Bowa (Sacramento) and Jimmy Rollins (Oakland). Bowa won the award in 1972 and again six years later. J-Roll today was chosen as a Gold Glove shortstop for the third straight year, passing Bowa for the most trophies for a Phillies shortstop. R-Roll led all MLB shortstops with a .990 percentage.
When comparing the two defensively, there isn't much difference, soft hands, rifle arms, lateral range and accurate throws to first base. Only difference, J-Roll is better on pop ups. Bowa, for some reason, struggled on those plays.
Other Phillies shortstops who have won the award include Bobby Wine (1963) and Ruben Amaro Sr. (1964). Both were different. Wine possessed a cannon for an arm with sure hands. Amaro was smooth, with ultra soft hands.
Two for Shane
Victorino walked away with his second straight Gold Glove. Over the last two seasons, Shane has three errors in 668 chances. Other Phillies outfielders who have won the award include Garry Maddox, Bobby Abreu and Aaron Rowand.
Most Awards
3B Mike Schmidt has the most Rawlings Gold Gloves among the Phillies, 10. Next are Maddox, 8; Rollins, 2b Manny Trillo and 3B Scott Rolen, three each.
Phillies Insider is on twitter as barons63.

Now that the Intel Core i7 family of processors is available for purchase it is time to start taking a look at various memory kits that have been designed just for the Intel Core i7 platform. One of the very first triple channel DDR3 memory kits that we got in to use on the Core i7 was the Kingston HyperX DDR3 2GHz triple channel memory kit. This memory kit contains three 1GB modules that are Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) ready and they meet the Core i7 platform recommendation of having the memory voltage being no higher than 1.65 Volts. That makes this kit interesting as Kingston was the first to market with a 2GHz triple-channel memory kit that were not at a crazy high voltage setting. Since the memory controller is now located on the processor, memory voltage plays a key role and Intel has said that 1.65V is the safe limit for their processor. Since the Intel Core i7 platform is so new it's risky to run much more than 1.65V as you might decrease the lifespan of the processor or worse yet, kill it.
The Kingston KHX16000D3K3/3GX memory kit that we will be looking at today is already pushing the limits of the Intel Core i7 platform and that is exactly what HyperX memory kits are designed to do. With a clock frequency of 2000MHz and manufacturer rated timings of 9-9-9-27 at 1.65v this kit might just be enough to tame many Core i7 users as you'll have to overclock the system to reach the settings for this kit. Our test kit came in the box pictured above, but Kingston made it clear that our kit came in to us before the final packaging was made. The retail kits will come in clear clamshell packaging, which will obviously cost less to produce and ship.
Inside the box were three memory modules that were placed inside a large static bag that had compartments for each module. I remember opening my first dual-channel DDR memory kit and how cool it was; I got that same feeling again opening this triple-channel memory kit for the very first time.
With the HyperX modules removed from the static bag we get a chance to see the Kingston HyperX modules up close and personal for the very first time. The Kingston KHX16000D3K3/3GX memory kit comes clad in blue aluminum heat spreaders that have been designed to help dissipate heat away from the memory chips.
