Nikon Announces The D300 Professional Digital SLR Camera
Nikon introduced its most advanced DX-format digital SLR camera, the D300. Engineered with pro-level features and performance, the 12.3 effective megapixel D300 combines brand new technologies with advanced features inherited from Nikon’s newly announced D3 professional digital SLR camera to offer serious photographers remarkable performance combined with agility.
Similar to the D3, the D300 features Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED Image Processing System that is central to driving the speed and processing power needed for many of the camera’s new features. The D300 features a new 51-point auto focus system with Nikon’s 3D Focus Tracking feature and two new LiveView shooting modes that allow users to frame a photograph using the camera’s high-resolution LCD monitor. The D300 shares a similar Scene Recognition System as found in the D3 that promises to greatly enhance the accuracy of auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance by recognizing the subject or scene being photographed and applying this information to the calculations for the three functions.
The D300 reacts with lightning speed, powering-up in a mere 0.13 seconds and shooting with an imperceptible 45 millisecond shutter release lag time. The D300 is capable of shooting at a rapid six frames per second and can go as fast as eight frames per second when using the optional MB-D10 Multi-Power Battery Pack. In continuous bursts, the D300 can shoot up to 100 shots* at full 12.3 megapixel resolution.
“Nikon’s D200 digital SLR camera has been a runaway success for us because it embodies everything that performance-conscious photographers demand. With the D300, we’ve raised the bar with remarkable new features, greater resolution and speed, and even higher image quality,” said Edward Fasano, general manager for Marketing, SLR Systems Products, at Nikon Inc. “The D300 delivers an unmatched combination of quality, performance and value that’s hard for discerning photographers to resist.”
The D300 incorporates a range of innovative technologies and features that will significantly improve the accuracy, control and performance photographers can get from their equipment. Its new Scene Recognition System advances the use of Nikon’s acclaimed 1,005-segment sensor to recognize colors and light patterns that help the camera determine the subject and the type of scene being photographed, before a picture is taken. This information is used to improve the accuracy of auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance functions in the D300. For example, the camera can track moving subjects better and by identifying them, it can also automatically select focus points faster and with greater accuracy. It can also analyze highlights and more accurately determine exposure, as well as infer light sources to deliver more accurate white balance detection.
The D300 incorporates Nikon’s new Multi-CAM 3500DX auto focus module that features an intelligent array of 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors. These sensors can either be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either nine, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses color and light information to accurately track the subject. Nikon’s new Scene Recognition System and improved focus algorithms also contribute to the impressive performance of the new 51-point AF system.
Nikon’s new Picture Control System makes it easy for users of all experience levels to select and apply adjustments to how their pictures are rendered and create optimized settings to suit their individual preferences. The same settings produce consistent picture tone, even when using different camera bodies. The Picture Control System offers four basic setting options – Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome. These can be directly modified for easy adjustment and customization of image parameters, such as sharpening, tone compensation, brightness and saturation. Photographers can customize and store up to nine customized options in the D300 and export up to 99 to a CF memory card, enabling photographers to share settings among multiple cameras that feature Picture Control System.
Taking a cue from the popularity of Nikon’s D-Lighting technology, the D300 features a new Active D-Lighting mode that, when enabled, provides remarkable real-time highlight and shadow correction with optimized image contrast. Active D-Lighting produces broader tone reproduction in both shadows and highlights by controlling highlights and exposure compensation while applying localized tone control technology to achieve a more pleasing level of contrast across the entire image. And because the advantages of Active D-Lighting are applied as images are captured, image editing time can be shortened.
The D300’s LiveView feature offers two modes for confirming subjects and composition on the new 920,000-dot, high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor while shooting. The Tripod mode is designed for precise focus and accuracy when the camera is on a stable platform and the subject is not moving. In this mode, the camera focuses on the subject using focal-plane contrast and any point on the LCD screen can be selected as the focus point for the picture. The second mode, called Handheld mode, allows photographers to use the camera’s conventional TTL focusing system, with all 51-points and 15 cross-type points available. When using this mode, the camera activates focusing immediately when the shutter button is pressed, to ensure accurate focus.
The D300 also employs a new self-cleaning sensor unit. Four different resonance frequencies vibrate the optical low pass filter in front of the image sensor to shake particles free and reduce the appearance of dust.
Refined Ergonomics and Usability
The D300 inherits one of Nikon’s most streamlined, functional and aesthetically pleasing layouts in a digital SLR camera, designed to enable photographers to take pictures with less fatigue, greater accuracy and comfort.
The camera’s viewfinder provides virtually 100 percent coverage so pictures can be framed accurately, while an ultra-high definition 920,000 dot VGA LCD screen on the rear of the camera displays images with vivid color and clarity. Its 170-degree wide viewing angle makes it easy to compose shots using the LCD screen in LiveView mode.
The D300 features rugged magnesium alloy construction and the camera’s shutter mechanism is tested up to 150,000 cycles. The 3.0-inch LCD is strengthened with tempered glass and the D300’s rubber gaskets and seals protect vulnerable entry points from dust and moisture.
Price and Availability
The D300 will be available from Nikon Authorized Dealers beginning in November 2007 for an estimated selling price of $1,799.95**. With the introduction of the D300, Nikon’s current lineup of digital SLR cameras now includes the new D3, D2XS, D300, D200, D80, D40x and D40.

Tripura Anti-Muslim violence: Dhubri MP Badruddin Ajmal writes to Prez; seeks action against goons
Guwahati: Amid the ongoing attacks on minorities in Tripura, Dhubri MP Badruddin Ajmal writes to the President of India requesting to take action against goons who carried out a series of attacks on Muslims and vandalized Muslim religious places in Tripura.
In a letter to the President of India, Ramnath Kovind, MP Ajmal said, “I would like to draw your attention towards the incidents of planned series of attacks on Muslims by mobs of goons during last one week. These attacks are very disturbing for innocent people. Unfortunately, the state government of Tripura totally failed in protecting religious minority of the state and taking timely action against the culprits.”
“Consequently, hate mongers and goons consistently targeted individuals of the Muslim community and set multiple mosques on fire as well as vandalized houses of Muslims,” he added.
Ajmal also highlighted the media reports claiming members of Hindu Jagran Manch, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad carried out rallies in different parts of the state against the recent attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh. During the rallies, they raised provocative slogans against Muslims, Islam as well as insulting slogans against Prophet Mohammad.
Further, Ajmal requested the President of India to pass instructions to the state government of Tripura:
- To take stringent action against those who attacked Muslim minority in the name of unfortunate incident of Bangladesh, so that similar incidents cannot be repeated by the goons in future.
- To ensure safety of Muslims in the state
- To restore damaged religious places and houses
- To provide adequate compensation to the victims of violence

All outdoor activities, including recess, will be canceled at Friendswood ISD due to a “domestic situation,” the district announced Monday.
In a letter sent to parents, FISD said activities, including Senior Sunset, Bales 5th-grade Celebration at Stevenson, recess, and athletic practices, will be canceled as a precautionary measure for the remainder of the school year or until further notice.
The district said the decision came after a “current domestic situation” but did not disclose any additional information on the incident.
Below is FISD’s complete statement:
“For all FISD Staff and Families,
We wanted to take a moment to address a current domestic situation that has prompted us to make the difficult decision to cancel Splash Day tomorrow and Thursday at Cline Elementary. We understand this news may be disappointing for your children, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Our students and staff’s safety and well-being are always our top priority. In light of the current situation, it is essential to exercise an abundance of caution. We have been in close communication with local authorities, and based on their recommendations, we have decided, beginning tomorrow, to cancel all outdoor activity on all FISD campuses, including Senior Sunset, Bales 5th-grade Celebration at Stevenson, recess, and athletic practices as a precautionary measure for the remainder of the school year or until further notice.
While we understand that this decision may be met with disappointment, we want to assure you that we are committed to creating a safe and secure environment for all our students. We believe taking proactive steps to ensure their well-being is necessary, even if it means canceling an outdoor event(s) students and staff eagerly looked forward to.”
The district could only confirm that the letter was sent to parents and staff but said it does not have any more information and that there was no direct threat to the school.

A sirloin roast can't compare to a standing rib roast in terms of fat marbling, but it also doesn't come with prime rib's extravagant price tag. When treated with a savory herb marinade, a sirloin roast can rival traditionally prepared herb-roasted prime rib for flavor at a fraction of the cost. With a little patience, a sirloin roast can also approach the prime rib's decadent texture. Serve the roast in thick slices au jus to complete the illusion.
Dry the sirloin roast thoroughly with paper towels. Season it on all sides liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Grind one or two bay leaves and black pepper, to taste, together in a spice grinder. Transfer the mixture to a mortar when it becomes powdery.
Add two or three cloves of garlic to the powder in the mortar. Add fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano and marjoram, according to taste. Grind the mixture with a pestle until it becomes a paste.
Slowly stir olive oil into the herb paste until it becomes the consistency of a thick marinade. Apply the marinade liberally to all sides of the sirloin.
Place the beef in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours. The longer the sirloin is allowed to marinate, the closer it will come to the tenderness of prime rib.
Remove the roast from the refrigerator at least one hour before cooking. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the sirloin, uncovered in its rack, in the center of the oven.
Roast the sirloin for 20 minutes at 450 F. Reduce the heat to 300 F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 110 F, about 2 hours for medium-rare doneness.
Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a large platter. Cover the beef loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 130 F, between 20 and 30 minutes.
While the roast rests, remove the rack from the roasting pan and set the pan directly on a burner over medium-high heat. Add beef stock, garlic and herbs as desired.
To make the jus, bring the stock to a boil and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Allow the stock to boil for 1 to 2 minutes, until the pan drippings are mixed completely into the broth.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add any juices that have accumulated on the beef's resting platter. Allow the jus to simmer gently until very aromatic, about 10 minutes.
Remove the butcher's twine. Slice beef in portions about 3/4-inch thick and serve with the sauce, au jus.

- Roasted top sirloin lends itself well to leftovers. Keep the roast tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to seven days after cooking.
- Reheat thick slices in a saucepan of simmering jus for a second meal or slice the sirloin thinly right out of the refrigerator for roast beef cold cuts.
- Unlike prime rib, sirloin will become tough if cooked beyond medium doneness. Don't allow your roast to go beyond 115 F in the oven. The roast will continue to cook for up 30 minutes after it is removed from the oven, approaching 135 to 140 F. At temperatures higher than 140 F, the beef may not be enjoyable.

Access to health care and health services is an issue many people in the Bethlehem community are struggling to get, though the city and the state of Pennsylvania are still faring better than other parts of the country.
While about 19 percent of Bethlehem residents live below the poverty line, compared to the national rate of about 15.5 percent, the city’s uninsured percentage of 4.5 percent is significantly lower than state and national averages at 10.1 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively, according to the 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment.
Even though the numbers are better than the national average, access to health care is still an issue in Bethlehem, according to Samuel Kennedy, the director of Corporate Communications at St. Luke’s University Health Network, and Victoria Montero, the manager of the Health Equity Initiative at St. Luke’s Hospital and the executive director of the Hispanic Center of the Lehigh Valley. Kennedy and Montero said the data does not account for the illegal immigrant population in Bethlehem who cannot apply for health care.
However, health insurance doesn’t equate to access to health care, said Kristen Wenrich, the health director of the Bethlehem Health Bureau.
“Give somebody an insurance card,” Wenrich said. “There you go, you’re set. But it’s not as simple as that because there are so many other factors that complicate people’s access to health care.”
Pennsylvania and Bethlehem may have a higher percentage of insured citizens for several reasons.
“In Pennsylvania, things are better than they are in other states because Medicaid is expanded, so now anybody that’s up to 30 percent of the poverty line can have access to Medicaid, which is fairly comprehensive insurance,” said Chad Meyerhoefer, a professor of health economics at Lehigh University.
Wenrich credits Bethlehem’s free services that help people apply for insurance as a reason for the city’s high insured population.
“We partner with neighborhood health centers that will come into our offices and assist people if they need help enrolling through the Affordable Care Act during open enrollment,” Wenrich said.
Other issues, like ethnic diversity and housing, play an important role in an individual’s health. Bethlehem is 26 percent Hispanic, compared to six percent in Pennsylvania and 16 percent in America, according to the health assessment.
“When you are addressing health, you need to address other issues, such as employment, access to food and living conditions,” Montero said.
According to the St. Luke’s Community Health Needs Assessment survey of Bethlehem in 2012, about 40 percent of Hispanics strongly agree or agree that the “community has a good health care system” while over 70 percent of non-Hispanics strongly agree or agree. Montero said the language barrier between people and providers causes people to not get adequate care.
Wenrich said substandard housing and housing affordability repeatedly came up in health studies of Bethlehem. The report showed that 40 percent of Bethlehem residents live in substandard housing, greater than the rates in Northampton and Lehigh counties, Pennsylvania and U.S.
“If you have substandard housing and you have cockroaches and mold and different things that are occurring, that obviously has a huge impact on health,” Wenrich said.
As the debate around health care swirls in American politics, Meyerhoefer suggested two items that the system needs to prioritize and improve:
“Eliminating the restriction that legal immigrants have to wait five years to qualify for public insurance or eliminating the law that children of undocumented immigrants cannot enroll in health insurance.”
Uninsured citizens and undocumented people can visit the Free Hearts Clinic at the Fowler Community Wellness Center, The Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley Bethlehem office, and the Bethlehem Health Bureau to receive services such as routine physicals, HIV testing, immunizations, home visits to pregnant women, disease control and drug abuse clinics.
“It’s a blessing and a curse,” Wenrich said. “We have so many great organizations that assess individuals of low income, but sometimes the coordination of efforts sometimes leads to duplication. Are we providing the most efficient services?”

When you take the mask off during the night, your symptoms will give back. Sometimes they might disappear for just one or two night times, but then go back. Wearing the mask every night prevents assaults of stop snoring from occurring.
Your sinus breathing might contribute to sleep apnea. If you have a stuffy nostril, make sure that you support open your breathing passages with a nose area spray. The local drugstore provides over the counter solutions that are ideal for this goal, but feel free to ask a pharmacist pertaining to help selecting the best one.
Clip On Somnolis Anti Snoring
Sensitivity and sinusitis sufferers are inclined to suffer from apnea. This is because you may have too much congestion in your nasal, so you happen to be breathing in and out of your mouth when you are sleeping. In case you have sinus or allergy concerns, getting them properly treated can end the snoring too.
Sleeping on your side to minimize your chances of snoring. If you rest on your back again, your tongue may show up back into the throat and obstruct the airways. This can result in apnea. Sleeping on your side keeps the tongue out of falling into the throat, so you are less likely to snore.
If you want to stop snoring, you may want to register for a sleep analysis. This type of evaluation will reveal which factors are making you snore. Maybe your tongue is in the incorrect position, or else you might just own a lot of nasal tissue that vibrates when you sleep, producing noise. This evaluation will help you figure out the next thing.
There are many methods to cut down on the snoring, and plenty of of them entail different ways to manage the noise. If you acquire a wind flow instrument, rehearsing it can make the soft palate better. Keeping the muscle tissues up there stronger will keep your air passageways available and will keep from snore phenomenon.
If your snoring stops erratically during the night, and you wake up gasping for air for a breath of air, you should make an appointment to see your physician. This is because you might have sleep apnea, a serious disorder. If someone tells you that the is your sleep structure, a sleeping study might need to be done on you to confirm this condition.
Oftentimes, snoring can be caused by dry out air, which in turn irritates the throat and nasal airways. This irritability may cause your throat to be dry, which will lead to snore phenomenon. Try putting a humidifier within your room through the night to add a few moisture to the air to ease the irritation inside your throat.
Should you currently snore, stop smoking to discover improvement. Smoking cigarettes causes irritability to the air passage and inflamed membranes. When you stop, this swelling and irritation can quickly disappear. When you are having difficulty quitting, actually cutting back on the smoking habit might help several. See your doctor for some helpful advice on how to stop or decrease.
Somnolis Anti Snoring
Serious allergies can be a common reason behind snoring in many people. If the nasal phrases are bloated and filled with mucous, that forces you to breathe through your mouth, making you snore. Seek advice from your doctor meant for medications which could treat the allergies, and therefore, may stop your somnolis anti snoring.
Having further somnolis anti snoring pillows can aid those experiencing snoring, both the person snoring and the person sleeping following to them. Using extra pillows permits your head to become raised, creating a clear course down the throat pertaining to easier breath. This will remove your apnea immediately.
When struggling with a problem like sleep apnea, it is best to check out the basics of your life first. If you smoking, overeat, eat late through the night, or take in high quantities of caffeine, simply changing these lifestyle habits could possibly be enough to further improve your overall sleep situation with no surgeries.
Assist your personal physician in relieving your stop snoring. It is important that you get treatment for your sleep issues. Always keep a medical doctor informed about your symptoms and any concerns you will be experiencing. They shall be able to help you find the cure for your sleep apnea.
If you have stop snoring and your somnolis anti snoring doctor wants you to have a CPAP, focus on the health benefits of this treatment. It can be a difficult adaptation getting used to wearing a CPAP mask every evening. You will be extra motivated to stick with this if you think in the ways it will eventually improve your general health. Not only would you like to get a better night's rest, but you may have improvements within your blood pressure as well as your lung function as a result as well.

From the festivals and events we have attended this year, there was the MaMA Festival in Paris. Between the many conferences and meetings that we were able to attend during this year’s edition of the festival, we have seen a large part of the artists that were programmed at La Cigale, and among them, we have discovered who many people call the “Greek Rosalia”: Marina Satti.
Her fanbase keeps growing since the release of her song “PALI”, a real success on streaming platforms ; the artist, who happens to have both Greek and Arab origins, brings her cultures and incorporates them into her songs. The latest one that she has released is called “Ponos Krifos”, which allowed her to perform on the globally known YouTube channel that helps emerging talents grow their fanbase worldwide : COLORS. The studio version of her track was released just a few days ago, you can listen to it below ; get ready to board on a trip to the Greek islands, a trip as gentle as it is powerful.
And as we were saying above, Marina Satti has been invited in COLORS’ studio right before the release of her official single : (re)watch her performance below !
Marina Satti is to be found on all streaming platforms. You can also follow her on Instagram !
As a music web writer for several years, I have developed a particularly devoted passion for electronic and alternative musics. From the ethereal melodies of Max Cooper to the introspective music and lyrics of Banks, my radar has me listening to the wide French and international independent music scene... all of this between communication plans for independent labels and artists !

Beautifully decorated 4 bedroom/3 bath home within a short walk to Capitola Village on the beautiful Monterey Bay. Our home has wide plank hardwood floors with under floor heating, a gas fireplace, down sofas and chairs, a large french farm table that comfortably seats 8 but can squeeze in 10. The guest room downstairs has built in bunk beds (like a boat) for two and also a full size bed that fits two. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a queen size bed and the two other bedrooms each have a single bed. Although the back garden is small, we have a deck where you can dine, an outdoor table that seats 4 and a firepit for when you're in a mood for a real fire! It's beautifully landscaped front and back in a cottage style. Our house is nearly 3000 square feet and is perfect for entertaining as we have an "open plan" throughout the entire downstairs. My home is furnished mostly with antiques and painted furniture, but isn't stuffy at all. It's a home meant to be enjoyed by family so it has a very casual, California living feel about it. It's very, very light and airy with double hung windows to let in that nice ocean breeze.
We're in a small neighborhood on Depot Hill that overlooks the bay. It's so nice because we're close to the village, but at the same time removed from it as we sit above it on the hill. A flight of stairs built on the side of the hill drops you right into the village where you'll find the beach, wonderful restaurants and shopping. Capitola is a great spot for beginning surfers and family play at the beach as we're in a rather protected spot on the bay. The public transportation here is very convenient and stops just at the bottom of our hill. We have lots of families with kids and dogs in our neighborhood, yet it's very quiet. People are terrificly nice and will stop to chat whether they know you or not. Although everyone has dogs here, a leash law is in effect and they are not allowed on the beach. This keeps the beaches clean and everyone feeling safe.
We're about an hour to San Francisco (to the north) and about an hour to Carmel (to the south) both along coastal highway 1. Just "over the hill" (about 1/2 hours away) as we say here, is the Bay Area where you'll find some of the best shopping malls in California. Palo Alto offers great restaurants and shopping at Stanford Mall (yes, right next to the university).

Autumn can be a notoriously difficult season to dress for; it’s not cold enough for thick woollens from head to toe, but foregoing layers can lead to you being caught short, especially when faced with our unpredictable British climate.
However, for AW13 both designers and high street retailers have turned to quilting in order to provide the perfect sartorial solution to this common problem.
We have already seen a meteoric rise in the popularity of quilted jackets over the past few years – think how saturated the traditional Barbour jacket and its high street replicas have become – but now it seems the textural effect is being applied to other types of clothing, and even accessories too.
It seems a logical progression; quilting not only helps keep you warm, it also adds a tactile dimension to any piece – providing it with a sense of depth and creating an interesting visual effect within any ensemble you choose to integrate it into.
The down-side of quilting is that it adds natural volume and can often ruin the clean lines you have tried so hard to create. But when used in moderation and applied in the correct way, current collections have shown that quilted pieces can work within a modern slim-fit aesthetic.
On The Runways
Funnily enough, the quilted clothing trend has been pushed before. Back in 2009, there was quite a public spat involving Dolce and Gabbana and Giorgio Armani when D&G sent a quirky pair of quilted trousers down their autumn/winter runway.
Giorgio publicly accused them of copying one of his own designs and since then, the notion of applying quilting to garments other than jackets has remained low-key – until now.
Key Show: Balmain AW13
Balmain applied quilting to a plethora of garments, from a leather jumpsuit with quilted leather sleeves and knee detailing, to a shawl neck quilted jumper in teal, to a cropped quilted biker jacket.
The fashion house also applied quilting to sweatshirts in both long and short-sleeved varieties, and included an impressive shawl neck quilted coat in black and metallic rust shades.
Furthermore, Balmain expertly combined technical fabrics (another emergent trend) with quilted panels to add to the futuristic effect created by the textural pattern:
Key Show: Thom Browne AW13
Although Thom Browne applied his version of quilting largely to jackets, rather than other forms of clothing, he put his own twist on these by steering clear of the stereotypical, cropped quilted bombers.
Instead, it was applied to longer, knee-length coats for an alternative, statement look.
Thom Browne commented that his use of quilting was influenced by Amish traditions, following his childhood growing up in Pennsylvania – demonstrating that inspiration for fashion collections can really be derived from anywhere:
Best Of The Rest
Other designers that utilised quilting within their collections included Patrick Ervell, who offered a quilted fleece sweatshirt in pure white; DKNY with their subtly quilted blazers in brown, black and grey; Tim Coppens with his collection of quilted shirts; and Lanvin with their unique take on the quilted sweater:
The Fashion Press
Even though you might assume that quilted clothing would generate healthy debate and become a controversial topic, the fashion press have wholeheartedly backed the trend.
Details magazine recently featured a piece on the increased use of quilting in menswear, highlighting examples as diverse as quilted pullovers, baseball caps and even Dr. Marten boots.
Similarly, The Guardian went on record saying their favourite sweatshirt from the AW13 shows was as a toss-up between the Calvin Klein sci-fi-inspired black quilted nylon crew and the Calvin Klein midnight blue quilted wool crew – both of which offer a feel of sports-tech minimalism for a progressive look:
Even F&F at Tesco have jumped on the quilted bandwagon, including items such as a quilted cropped bomber jacket within their superb new AW13 collection lookbook, which was recently championed by British GQ.
Modern Quilting Lookbook
The latest high street and designer campaigns have featured quilted attire prominently, with a strong focus on classic outerwear styles such as the field jacket, bomber and gilet.
Breaking away from tradition, quilted blazers, sweatshirts and even contrast quilted sleeves have also been spotted in AW13 lookbooks from HE By Mango, River Island and Tommy Hilfiger, respectively:
The Current Market
Turning to the high street, the availability of quilted items – especially the quilted sweatshirt – is immediately obvious. Topman, Zara and River Island are all currently stocking a wealth of styles at competitive prices.
Similarly, these high street stores are also offering quilted sweatpants with cuffed ankles (a surprisingly popular choice), quilted backpacks and quilted long-sleeved shirts. River Island has even gone a step further by stocking quilted leather-effect gloves, and a quilted shirt in this season’s popular camouflage print.
For those of you with a bit more disposable cash, online retailers such as Mr Porter and Oki-Ni are demonstrating that premium designers are also backing the quilting trend. Mr Porter are stocking an A.P.C. lumberjack-style checked quilted shirt jacket, a Lanvin zig-zag quilted wool sweater and a midnight blue Burberry wool tuxedo blazer featuring a lightly quilted lining.
Whilst at Oki-Ni, you can pick up a subtly quilted Christopher Shannon long sleeve sweatshirt, a Stone Island Shadow Project quilted scarf and, for the really adventurous amongst you, a pair of J.W. Anderson navy quilted trousers.
- Barbour Chelsea Sportsquilt Quilted Jacket Olive
- Marni Quilted-front Felt Jacket 162862
- Allsaints Host Bomber Jacket
- Shore Leave Quilted Bomber Jacket In Navy
- River Island Red Casual Quilted Patch Jacket
- Aspesi Quilted Padded Bomber Jacket
- He By Mango Quilted Peacoat
- River Island Black Quilted Bomber Jacket
- He By Mango Corduroy Collar Husky Jacket
- He By Mango Herringbone Quilted Premium Parka

Quilted Clothing & Accessories

- Topman Ecru Marl Biker Panel Quilted Sweatshirt
- River Island Dark Red T. Lipop Quilted Sweat Pants
- River Island Black Quilted Leather Ri Popper Gloves
- Topman Blue Quilted Jumper
- Quilted Rucksack
- River Island Ecru Quilted Colour Block Jumper
- A.p.c. Check Quilted Wool Shirt
It’s clear to see that the quilting trend has evolved for AW13. No longer restricted to just outerwear, everything from quilted clothing to quilted detailing and accessories are being pushed this year.
From a practical perspective, additional warmth is an obvious benefit, yet the textural effect also adds an extra dimension to any piece and will help give your outfits a real sense of depth.
Furthermore, some of the most popular and best-looking quilted pieces currently on the market maintain the double-lined look but tone down the padding and insulation, negating some of the natural bulkiness associated with quilting – fitting in perfectly with our current obsession with slim fits and clean lines.
As always, we want to know your thoughts and opinions on quilted clothing. Are you a fan of the trend? And do you see it as one that has true staying ability, or is it just a flash in the pan?

TV cook Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall emerges Daniel Craig-like
from the surf with what looks like a substantial sea bass. It’s the cover of the Observer Food Monthly magazine and beneath his lean, fish-policy-fighting-machine body is the banner “OFM Awards 2011, Starring Hugh’s Fish Fight Heston’s Dinner & Britain’s Best Bars.”
Surely, a national Sunday newspaper as clued-in as The Observer would recognise the turning tide of craft beer and give its awards for Best Place to Drink to one or more of the modern beer emporia – The Cask and Kitchen, Craft, North Bar, or Sheffield Tap.
As much as I applaud Hugh’s campaign against the appalling waste resulting from the absurd European rules stipulating that over-quota fish be thrown back dead into the sea rather than landed, it was the bit about bars that caused me to skip through the mag as if to the football reports.
And the winner is… Mark’s Bar in Soho. A cocktail bar. What startling innovations find their home there? What revolution-in-drinks are they at the forefront of? Pine gin, lemon verbena, and chipotle vodka, it would seem. Also, building tower fountains of champagne glasses. All the winning London bars are cocktail bars.
“FFS”, I thought. It’s OK, I can say that in a polite blog because the presenter on BBC Radio 4’s highly-respectable Today programme said it live on air. And “WTF”. It’s like The Rake never happened. I hereby unveil a new text message expletive abbreviation for your delectation: OFM. Thanks, Observer!
Perhaps these skewed, misinformed results are the fault of London-centric journos, but no, these awards are from readers’ recommendations. Pubs do figure in the regional winners; there is even mention of a local brew: Alscot Ale (from Warwickshire Beer Co.), but otherwise, beer seems of little importance. One winning pub’s recommendation included “has free wi-fi”. Even ‘Spoons has that.
The conclusion cannot be escaped: Despite overspill of punters outside the Craft Beer Co pub on Leather Lane, the craft beer revolution has not happened. Or at least, not for Observer readers. And whisky? not a dram. Make way for Hanky Panky cocktails and bergamot vodka.
In the Scheme Of Things, the OFM Best Bars awards don’t much matter, but it’s a good indicator of public opinion, or perhaps just that Southern Observer readers like cocktails. Now, I don’t mind a good cocktail bar or two, but isn’t it time a few were thrown back? Dead or alive.

Feb 16, 2012, 11:42 AM EDT
Andy Strickland of The Fan 590 St. Louis and TrueHockey.com has a rather interesting spin on the chimerical Patrick Kane-for-Ryan Miller trade — you know, the one nobody wants to validate but has set the interweb on fire nonetheless.
In the article, Strickland brings up several key points.
–Jeremy Roenick’s comments that Chicago could “afford to get rid of” Kane weren’t pulled out of a hat:
There are some Blackhawk people who internally understand if they are to get the guy they want they would need to give up something big. I’m not suggesting they’re shopping Kane but these talks do tend to pop up around the office every now and then.
— Miller has lingering frustrations with Buffalo and would welcome a move:
Sources close to Miller confirm his frustration with the Sabres organization and tell me he’d waive his modified no-trade clause to go to Chicago.
I’ve heard the speculation that Miller would only accept a trade to Los Angeles or Anaheim so he could be closer to his actress wife Noureen DeWulf. I’m told this is completely untrue. Miller wants to win and he’s apparently open to go to a number of teams, not just those located in So Cal
Again, I’m told he’d jump at the opportunity to go to Chicago.
— The Sabres don’t appear to be on board:
The Sabres thought they had it figured out last summer once owner Terry Pegula took over the franchise. They thought they could buy their way into contending for a Stanley Cup and it appears they’re taking a step backwards. Sources close to the organization tell me they aren’t looking to rebuild but are looking to re-scale their roster.
Sources say Miller has not been approached by the organization regarding a potential trade.
So there you have it.

Panglao City, Bohol

President Benigno S. Aquino III led the ceremonial capsule-laying of the new Bohol Panglao Airport and the symbolic lights-on ceremony of over 2,600 sitios in Central Visayas under the Sitio Electrification Program during his visit to Bohol.
Amounting to P7.2 billion, construction of the airport will be taken out from the P4.6 billion Official Development Assistance (ODA) loan under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), while the Philippine government will cover the remaining P2.6 billion.
According to the President, with the airport’s wider floor area of 8,800 square meters, it will augment tourist visits in Bohol to approximately 1.7 million passengers that will replace the old and limited Tagbilaran Airport once completed on December 2017.
Meanwhile, maintenance and operation of the Panglao Airport will be placed under the government’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Program with the bidding process to start on 20 March 2016 and awarding to be completed on June 2016.
Alongside the event, the President also led the symbolic lights-on ceremony of over 2,600 sitios in Central Visayas under the Sitio Electrification Program spearheaded by the Department of Energy (DOE).
In his message, the President confirmed that the Sitio Electrification Program has completed 98.72% or 32,026 sitios in the entire country, with Bohol already reaching 100% electrification in all of its sitios. He is confident that the remaining numbers will be completed within March this year.
“Nakita naman po ninyo, magkakarugtong ang lahat ng proyekto natin; nakatutok ang lahat sa isang layunin: Ang iangat ang antas ng pamumuhay ng ating mga boss. Ang turismo, tinutukan natin para makalikha pa ng trabaho at lumawak ang oportunidad,” President Aquino said.
He also cited other government projects and programs that the province has received amounting to a total of P19 billion from 2011 to 2016. Under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Bohol has received P10.45 billion while the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has, likewise, allotted Bohol with P8.5 billion. These include the various rehabilitation projects it underwent after the region was severely devastated by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on 2013.

Flow cytometry is an essential tool in biology and medicine with applications in immunodeficiency diagnostic, immunosurveillence, organ transplantation in addition to its basic research usage. Before the widespread use of the Fluorescent-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), the first flow cytometer was invented by Wallace Coulter and was embodied in a remarquably simple device. The Coulter counter principle consists in passing particles in an aperture concurrently with an electric current to measure the related impedance variations. In the fifties, the Coulter counter has established as a gold standard for cell counting and sizing. More recently, thanks to advances in miniaturization, micromachined impedance spectroscopy flow cytometers extended their analysis capabilities to the dielectric properties of cells. This opened the way to label-free and non-invasive methods for cell population differentiations such as leukocytes clustering. However, these flow cytometers were not designed for cell retrieval neither provided the ability to work with a limited number of scarce cells. First, this thesis extends the capability of impedance based flow cytometers to perform single cell isolation on disposable devices. Today, many biological methods are based on single cell isolation. In cell lines development, the gold standard procedure involves serial dilution. However, this approach is time-consuming as it needs to be repeated over several weeks to ensure clonality. In this thesis, a tool enabling single cell isolation in one step and based on impedance spectroscopy is developed. The modeling, designing and testing of a disposable pipette tip integrating a cell sensor based on the Coulter principle is reported. Coupled with an instrumented pipette, this disposable sensing tip enables single cell dispensing. Furthermore, this system allows recording the impedance trace to be used as proof of single cell isolation. Second, this thesis translates the concept of disposable, sterile and low-cost single-cell dispensing device on a standard planar microfabrication technology. Using a planar microfabrication technology enables a better control of the fluidic behavior and permits the integration of more complex features on the dispensing device. However, a disposable device requires a large-scale and cost-effective production method. A planar fabrication method based on the industrially standardized printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process is assessed to produce different topologies of flow cytometers with emphasis on the disposable aspect of the devices required for cell culture. Third, this thesis is dedicated to further exploring the cell parameters that can be analyzed by impedance spectroscopy. Ligand-gated ion channels are cellular membrane proteins reacting very specifically and rapidly to the binding of a ligand molecule and modulate the membrane permeability. This cellular mechanism was proposed as the transducing elements for highly sensitive and specific chemical biosensors. However, this implies the engineering challenges of a long-term, automated and integrated cellular electrophysiology monitoring. Finally, in this thesis, the monitoring of ligand-gated ion channel permeability is investigated using impedance spectroscopy as a real-time, non-invasive and label free analytical technique.

In the leafy month of June,
That to the sleeping woods all night
Singeth a quiet tune.

The more thou dam'st it up, the more it burns.
The current that with gentle murmur glides,
Thou know'st, being stopped, impatiently doth rage;
But when his fair course is not hindered,
He makes sweet music with th' enameled stones,
Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge,
He overtaketh in his pilgrimage.
And so by many winding nooks he strays
With willing sport to the wild ocean.
Then let me go and hinder not my course.
I'll be as patient as a gentle stream
And make a pastime of each weary step,
Till the last step have brought me to my love;
And there I'll rest, as after much turmoil
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.

Hi, my name is Caitlin
I came to Brooklyn from Miami.
I get a lot of my inspiration from my heritage, as a first generation Cuban-American I
had a colorful childhood and adolescence running around Miami, but I never quite fit in. Which
always made me dream of life in New York.
I wake up and want to knit and crochet! I'm a crazy cat lady in the making
My work is kooky, femme, and comfortable- I want you to live in it!
I want to make your favorite sweater, garments that you can live in love and pass on.
I strive to create modern-day heirlooms like the ones that I received from the women in my family.

Meet our little rescue with the giant ears, CHUCHU! His story went viral because of his awful reality: he was tied to a pole so tight that he had to balance on top of a rock, just to feel comfortable. He was malnourished, his neck was badly injured by the collar and was deprived of comfort and the good life by his previous owners.
Through the help of @angkopsahayop team and @karentoyoshima, Chuchu, together with sister Tinay, was rescued last October and was brought to the Pawssion Project Shelter. From being a scared and very thin rescued dog, Chuchu transformed into a very healthy, happy and handsome good boy! His sister, Tinay, has already found her forever home and we are hoping that Chuchu will soon find his own people.
Chuchu is already neutered and vaccinated and is still up for adoption! Nothing quite like seeing the rescues bloom, be happy and forget their dark past.
