To Market, To Market

Bright, juicy strawberries are among the many fresh fruits at the Farmer's Market.Over the past 25 years my idea of a traditional holiday celebration has taken many a twist and turn. As a child, my family celebrated the holidays in the usual way, with turkeys, mashed potatoes, gravy and pumpkin pies on the dining table. And carved pumpkins, Douglas fir Christmas trees and silver tinsel adorning our home.
After marrying into an Armenian family those traditions grew to include dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) and baklava on the dinner table, with a crèche - hand-carved from olive trees from the "old country" - displayed on the mantel. Then, shortly after reaching their teen years, certain members of my family refused to eat any more meat, and now a very strange looking but actually quite tasty "Tofurkey" takes its place of honor right next to the real thing. A much healthier vegan sweet potato pie has replaced pumpkin pie, and, if you swallow real fast, you can hardly tell the difference. That's the way it goes, things change and you mix a little of the old and a little of the new and before you know it, it's become a tradition!
For those looking to mix up their holiday traditions a bit, a fun place to start is right here in San Clemente at the weekly Farmers Market. Over the last ten years the market itself has become a tradition for shoppers looking for the freshest, best tasting and widest variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and other specialty items.
A quick walk down Avenida Del Mar on a Sunday afternoon reveals a tempting array from skin care products, to free range chicken eggs. From homemade salsa to homegrown orchids, the market is a fabulous place to find your weekly "must haves" or to experiment with some exotic vegetable from some country you've never even heard of.
Typically when I think of a farmers market I tend to think of the spring and summer months, fat juicy peaches, succulent strawberries and sweet juicy cherries, but the variety and great taste doesn't end with the good weather. The fall and winter seasons bring new and equally delicious items to the market and many of them arrive just in time to be added to your holiday planning.
It was way back in 1994 that San Clemente resident Jan Peverill approached her daughter and son-in-law, Rick and Sandy Heil, with the idea of starting a farmers market in San Clemente. Although Rick was busy with his own pension planning business they decided to humor Jan and agreed to help manage what started out as a small farmers market with just eight vendors on the grassy lawn in front of the community center. Little did they know that over the next 12 years that little market would grow to encompass the entire two hundred block of Del Mar Avenue, featuring over 25 vendors and attracting hundreds of people to downtown San Clemente every Sunday.
"You can't get fresher flowers," claims flower farmer Hector Ramos.Many of those vendors agree that the City of San Clemente hosts one of the most successful farmers markets in the area and that success is based on three ingredients, a beautiful location, support from the City and the management of the Heils. Rick carefully screens potential vendors and looks for people with a passion for bringing the highest quality product to their customers.
Hector Ramos, of Rancho Chico Incorporated displays those exact qualities. Hector grew up on small farms down in north San Diego County, helping his father, Eugino, raise and sell tomatoes and other vegetables. Over the years the market for local tomatoes become more competitive and the Ramos' decided to move into the flower market. Today the Rancho Chico farms grow over 30 varieties of flowers and ornamentals, and sell fresh cut flowers at over 15 different farmers markets in Southern California.
"You cannot get a fresher flower than what we sell," Hector told me. "We cut our flowers the day before we arrive at the market, they are literally fresh from the field."
Each Sunday you can find Ramos and his crew helping the hordes of people who line up to purchase his fresh flowers. "We have people who come here every single week to get their flowers, they tell me they last longer than any others they have ever tried do".
Fresh baked breads, bagels, cinnamon rolls, cookies and sweet cakes can be found at the market too. Hector takes true enjoyment in the product he sells and his interactions with his customers show it. He is never too busy to answer questions, give advice or to "talk flowers" with his customers. Anyone looking for some new ideas for decorating for the holidays should head on over to his booth. He may help you find a fresh way to display a traditional favorite or introduce you to a completely new and different tradition in the making.
After perusing the flower selection head down the street, paying special attention to the smells permeating the air. It won't be long until your nose will lead you directly to Steve Crossen and the Old Town Baking Company. Hopefully you won't be like me and will be able to show at least a little restraint when surrounded by Steve's amazing selection of fresh baked breads, bagels, cinnamon rolls, cookies and sweet cakes. On second thought forget the restraint, just be sure and throw one of his Hearty 6 Grain Loafs into the mix, it's low calorie, high in fiber, has no eggs or sugar and it's actually quite delicious. The perfect antidote to the guilt you'll feel when you end up eating all the frosting covered cinnamon rolls in the car before you even get home.
Although Crossen's bakery in Fontana markets to almost 40 farmers markets, Steve swears San Clemente is his favorite. "It's the most beautiful location, and you get such a great mix of locals and tourists."
When not behind the bakery table Crossen doubles as a real estate agent in the San Clemente area, and he is as enthusiastic about the area as he is about his breads. "My whole family loves San Clemente and we spend as much time here as possible" he says.
His pride in bringing quality, baked goods to a town he loves is evident. His seasonal products for the holidays, including traditional German Stollen and fall fruit pies, would be a welcome addition to any holiday meal. He even takes the much-maligned Christmas Fruit Cake to a completely new level, making it a gift anyone would enjoy receiving. Now if I could just get him to add vegan sweet potato pie to his menu, I'd be set.
Baby organic lettuce are grown in Fallbrook.After gorging on something sweet from Steve's bakery I always feel better if I buy something healthy and Peterson's Specialty Produce, fits the bill perfectly. Andrea Peterson owns a small organic farm located in Fallbrook, where coastal breezes keep the farm cool in the summer and relatively warm in the winter. The 650-foot elevation puts it out of the coastal fog zone, creating the perfect climate for her crops to flourish. She specializes in baby lettuce but also grows berries, beans, squash, pomegranates and much, much more.
When not selling her produce at the market, Andrea is busy running Blue Heron Farm Bed & Breakfast, a peaceful, hacienda-style home surrounded by acres of farmland where guest dine on menus created specifically to highlight the organic produce grown on the farm. Needless to say as a lettuce farmer she is a big proponent of salad and even goes so far as to suggest serving a winter salad green mix, with blue cheese, candied walnuts, pears and vinaigrette for breakfast. If that doesn't fit the criteria for creating a new holiday tradition, I don't know what does!
Whether you want to create a new tradition in your own home or you're looking for some non-traditional gift giving ideas the farmers market will meet your needs. Just ask Juan Garcia. As one of the original vendors of the market, Juan has been selling his cactus, succulents and fresh potted herbs to San Clemente residents for over ten years. During the holiday months he becomes one of the market's stars with his locally grown, fresh cut poinsettias. People flock to the market to find this holiday favorite, which arrives fresh cut straight from the farm.
This year the poinsettia is getting some competition from Garcia's newest invention the cactus wreath. Combining traditional holiday elements with cactus and succulent cuttings, Juan has designed a new take on an old favorite, and he will gladly make special orders using plants you choose from his wide selection. As a hanging wreath or a centerpiece for a holiday table, these beautiful creations would work great as hostess gifts for all those holiday parties, or as presents when you visit out of town relatives.
The Farmer's Market is plentiful with fresh vegetables. If it's gift giving ideas you're looking for stop by Clean Living of Santa Monica, their fine soaps and skin care products are the perfect gifts for that person who has everything. Made from vegetable and seed oils rather that tallow (animal lard), they are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids and scented with essential oils, making them virtually allergy free (and vegan friendly I might add!) Beautifully packaged with sprigs of holly for the holidays, Clean Living offers two gift-boxed sizes that anyone would be glad to receive.
For that cook on your list check out the Vernie Farms extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil. Saviero Vernie of Clovis, California presses this top-of-the-line olive oil, using the same methods brought over by his family when they emigrated from Italy in 1923.
"The richness and delicious taste of this olive oil is unsurpassed" claims seller Marvin Halaby.
Talk about enthusiasm for a product, get Marvin started talking about this olive oil and I guarantee you'll walk away with a bottle for yourself and several more to share with all of your friends.
Halaby loves the interaction at the market and has been coming here since he was a child with his dad. "People walk by and recognize me from when I was a kid, they know they can trust our products to be the best", he said.
While they also market fruits, vegetables and raw nuts, it is the olive oil that really makes Marvin's eyes light up. He delights in regaling his customers with the health virtues of olive oil and swears this product tastes just like fresh olives. Relishing the old fashioned way of doing business he interacts personally with his customers, guaranteeing a level of customer satisfaction that is hard to find in today's fast pace world.
This year I've decided to add a new holiday tradition to my repertoire. I'm going to take the time to stroll down Avenida Del Mar on a Sunday afternoon. To stop and chat with the old friends I pass on the street. To get some good advice from people who love what they're doing and want to help me love it also. I'll be shopping for myself, my family and friends, and looking for things that add a new twist to the old ways, or for things to create a new way of doing things. And … I'll probably eat an entire sweet roll before I even get back to the car, but that's OK, it's a tradition! b

Human pancreatic cancer cells dramatically regress when treated with chemotherapy in combination with a synthetic compound that mimics the action of a naturally occurring " death-promoting" protein found in cells, researchers at
UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.
The research, conducted in mice, appears in today' s issue of Cancer Research and could lead to more effective therapies for pancreatic and possibly other cancers, the researchers said.
" This compound enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy and improved survival in multiple animal models of pancreatic cancer," said Dr. Rolf Brekken, associate professor of surgery and pharmacology and the study' s senior author. " We now have multiple lines of evidence in animals showing that this combination is having a potent effect on pancreatic cancer, which is a devastating disease."
In this study, Dr. Brekken and his team transplanted human pancreatic tumors into mice, then allowed the tumors to grow to a significant size. They then administered a synthetic compound called JP1201 in combination with gemcitabine, a chemotherapeutic drug that is considered the standard of care for patients with pancreatic cancer. They found that the drug combination caused regression of the tumors.
" There was a 50 percent regression in tumor size during a two-week treatment of the mice," Dr. Brekken said. " We also looked at survival groups of the animals, which is often depressing in human therapeutic studies for pancreatic cancer because virtually nothing works. We found not only significant decrease in tumor size, but meaningful prolongation of life with the drug combination."
The drug combination was also effective in an aggressive model of spontaneous pancreatic cancer in mice.
The compound JP1201 was created in 2004 by UT Southwestern researchers to mimic the action of a protein called Smac. The researchers discovered Smac in 2000 and found that this protein plays a key role in the normal self-destruction process present in every cell.
Cell death, or apoptosis, is activated when a cell needs to be terminated, such as when a cell is defective or is no longer needed for normal growth and development. In cancer cells, this self-destruct mechanism is faulty and lead to breaks in the cell-death cascade of events. The synthetic Smac, or Smac mimetic, developed at UT Southwestern inhibits these breaks, allowing the cell to die.
" In essence, we' re inhibiting an inhibitor," Dr. Brekken said. " And we' re allowing the apoptotic cascade to kick off, resulting in the death of cancer cells."
UT Southwestern researchers are using Smac mimetics in breast and lung cancer research, as well. Dr. Brekken said the next step is to develop a compound based on JP1201 that can be tested in humans in clinical trials.

Pre-heat your oven to its hottest setting, and lightly flour your worksurface, rolling pin (if using) and baking tray. Roll or stretch your dough to approx. 10-12 inches in diameter (this will give you a classic Neapolitan style thin and crispy pizza.
Move your pizza base to the lightly floured baking tray, spread the passata across the surface, then add the veggies evenly over the top. Scatter the cheese/vegan alternative over the top and move to the hot oven for approx. 8-10 mins. Your pizza will be ready when the crust has turned golden brown and the toppings are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 3-5 mins, then sprinkle over the fresh pea shoots. As well as preventing burnt mouths, this also helps the pizza topping to 'set' and means your toppings won't slide when you slice into it! Slice, share and enjoy!
We'd love to see your pizzas on our social media @northerndoughco please tag us in your delicious creations!

A typical Sunday lunch quickly took an action packed turn after a would-be purse thief was chased down by Red Robin patrons, staff members, and an off duty corrections officer.
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, Stephanie Johnson was eating lunch with her family at Red Robin on Tolmie Avenue when she spotted a man "slyly" grabbing her mother and sister's purses from an empty chair beside them at their table. She immediately yelled for him to stop and began to get up and chase the thief around the restaurant.
Soon after the chase began, restaurant staff members and other patrons joined in. According to police, the man then fled outside, crossing Blanshard Street and abandoning the purses roughly one block away from the restaurant.
As people were recovering the handbags, one restaurant manager was still in pursuit of the thief, prompting another witness who was driving by the chase to notice the incident. The new witness, reportedly an off-duty corrections officer, tracked the thief down Alder Street where he was attempting to hide behind a fence and held him there until police arrived.
"We fly out to Disneyland at 5 a.m. and passports and money were in one of the purses!" said Johnson in a Facebook post. "The staff and management at Red Robin were amazing and definitely went above and beyond."
"Saanich police were incredibly fast," she added.
Police say that the suspect is well known to them and was wanted for previous thefts. In addition to his previous warrants, the man is now facing 1 count of obstruction, 2 counts of theft, 3 counts of breaching his recognizance, and 4 counts of failing to comply with his probation order.
He is currently being held in custody for court.
"I'm so incredibly appreciative of the people that stepped in – if it weren't for them the guy would be long gone!" said Johnson.
Johnson also noted that the incident serves as a good reminder to keep personal items like purses safe when out and about.

Alejandro is one of my Q'ero teachers. He's fifty six, and radiates the peace, humility and warmth I have seen in other Qero elders. His sister, another one of my teachers, is Maria Apasa Machaca, said to be the only Altomisayoq (high level Andean healer)left in the Qero nation, and definitely the only female Altomisayoq in a long time. To become an Altomisoyoq, you usually have to be hit by lighting three times. Maria seems to have survived it well. She's in her eighties, strong and vigorous. Alejandro tells me his mother had him when she was sixty, and lived to be over a hundred. That's how good the air is in the high Andes.
Alejandro also tells me that in the Qero Nation you have to be at least thirty before you can begin studying to be a pampa misayoq (Qero healer) and not everyone can do it.
We speak in a combination of his limited Spanish and my very limited Quechua. "You have to have luck (suerte) to become a pampa misayoq. Another pampa misayoq will read the coca leaves for you and let you know if you can take that path."
Today I performed a despacho with him, really the first that I undertook on my own, with his supervision. As usual I was impressed with the beauty and elegance of the process, a kind of artful unfolding of petals, coca leaves, seeds, candies and other items, as well as a powerful energetic connection with the forces of nature.
Actually putting the elements into the despachos with my own hands gave me a greater feel for each distinctive energy I was working with the apu masculine energy being quite different from the female pacha mama.
Alejandro and I don't seem to need to say much to acknowledge the energy of this work. "Allinta," he'll say. "It's good."
After making the despachos, we burned them both in the patio, in a small coal burning pot that I use to heat the house. We sat for a long time with the fire, praying, then he left me alone to pray on my own. After the fire burned down the pot had a fine white ash in it.
"VERY good," Alejandro said. "I didn´t expect it to be this good. I expected some black."
I was pleased. If you pay attention, you learn after awhile that what has long been called "superstition" is actually reading the language of nature: in the flight of a hawk or condor, in the visit of a spider, in the color of ash.
More than anything else I feel a deep sense of happiness after ceremony with the Qeros. Having escaped to the high Andes during the Spanish conquest they are carriers of an energy that is amazingly powerful and uncontaminated, a wisdom and innocence combined. It's not a head wisdom, but a heart wisdom. Somewhere I read that the Qero teachings contain an opening of different energy "eyes" that we have in our energetic field. Though none of my teachers have mentioned this, it is something that you simply begin to feel after awhile. Unlike Western teachings there seems to be little need to discuss analyze or evaluate the teachings one receives or experiences energetically.
I'm okay with that.

Herod Kills James
Verse 1 – Now about that time Herod, the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.
Verse 2 – Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
James and John were the son's of Zebedee, and were two of the original disciples.
Verse 3 – And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
Verse 4 – So when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.
Verse 5 – Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.
Peter had been preaching and doing miracles among the people, but the leaders and the king wanted him gone. Why do people plot evil against those who do good for others? Peter could have gotten discouraged and thought, "What's the use?" But he knew what God had called him to do and he was determined to do it.
Why is it Christians give up so easy after a disappointment or persecution, now a days? To give up on what God's called a person to do before it's complete, is a lack of trust that God can bring it to pass. Every time a Christian goes through a difficult situation, it should make them more determined than ever to see it through. If God said it, it will come to pass no matter what happens in between!
Verse 6 – And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping; bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.
Has God ever delivered you out of an impossible situation? I'm sure He has. Do you think He will do it again and again? If you are His child, why wouldn't He? He gave us a promise that He would never leave us. So when turmoil and discourse comes into your life, do what you can do and put the rest in His hands and go to sleep!
Verse 7 – Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!" and his chains fell off his hands.
Verse 8 – Then the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals"; and so he did. And he said to him, "Put on your garment and follow me."
Angels are God's messengers with supernatural power to accomplish His will. People do not become angels when they die and go to heaven, as some might think. They are beings that God created to do His will. Sometimes they take on human form when talking to us.
Verse 9 – So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
Peter had been in a deep sleep and the angel had to strike him in order to wake him. It would be normal to think that he was still dreaming.
Verse 10 – When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gates that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
This iron gate was the outside gate to the prison. They opened supernaturally and Peter and the angel walked out and then the angel was gone. Notice none of the guards woke up. Our God is a supernatural God and can do the impossible anytime He wants.
Verse 11 – And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.
Verse 12 – So, when he considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.
John Mark wrote the Gospel of Mark. His mother's house was large enough to accommodate a large number of believers. When one of our brothers or sisters in Christ, are in need, we pray. God always answers.
Verse 13 – And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Verse 14 – When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate.
Verse 15 – But they said to her, "You are beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is an angel."
Yes, they had all been praying for Peter's safety, because they expected Herod to execute him. There's an old Jewish tradition that Jews believe that after a person dies, their guardian angel appears as the person. When you are praying for a salutation, believe that it has been done, and don't be so surprised when it comes to pass.
Verse 16 – Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
Verse 17 – But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. and he said, "Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren." and he departed and went to another place.
This James, was Jesus' brother, not John's brother, for Herod had killed that James already. Jesus brother, James, did not become a believer until after Jesus' resurrection.
Verse 18 – Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Verse 19 – But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down form Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
The Jews considered Jerusalem their capital, but the Romans made Caesarea their headquarters in Palestine. That is where Herod Agrippa I, lived. Herod went to Caesarea, not Peter.
Verse 20 – Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king's country.
Verse 21 – So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them.
Verse 22 – And the people kept shouting, 'The voice of a god and not of a man!"
Verse 23 – Then immediately an angel of the Lord stuck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
Most of all sin has a spiritual root of pride. Herod let the people praise him as if he were a god, and didn't correct them. He took the glory that belongs to only God.
Verse 24 – But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Verse 25 – And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark.

Modern medicine is aimed mainly at the creation of new contraceptive methods for women, while men are in search for a reliable method to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy of his partner.
This situation is primarily due to the nature of the male sperm, because they tend to be produced in extremely large quantities every day, but the woman is enough to block the productive activities of its egg drunk pills.
specialists in many countries for a long time worked hard, creating contraceptives for men that could reliably protect against pregnancy.Israeli scientists have been able to achieve this goal, and thanks to the many research and experiments they managed to create a male contraceptive, which is enough to take one every three months.
As part of the contraceptive pill for men will contain a certain amount of sexual male hormones - testosterone, which in a lot of functionality capable of blocking sperm in the male body.Contraceptives for men are only temporarily, after reception over a short period of time smermatogenez immediately restored.
Among the modern methods of contraception can be used and original implants - long special items 2, 5 cm, which are injected under the skin.They operate on the fertilization process so that the blood enters the active modified testosterone blocking smermatogenez.The advantages of this method of contraception is to forget for a long time on the use of contraceptives for men and a woman.
do these contraceptives for men on the quality of the protein in the composition of the sperm, which depends on the process of fertilization.This method is still at the level of the test, while men still enjoy the earliest known means of contraception.
Over the years, the success of such contraceptives are men like condoms.There are already more than 400 years, and was originally designed as a protective agent against many infectious sexual diseases.This contraceptive made of latex, rather thin and durable material, which allows to preserve a pleasant sensation during sexual intercourse, but at the same time creates a reliable barrier to the release of sperm.
Reliability of condoms depends primarily on the quality and skills of the men to use them.When used properly, in addition to high-quality contraceptive protection against pregnancy, the chance of infection is excluded as sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.The main drawback of the condom is considered to be its ability to break and slip, increasing the risk of pregnancy.
Some men as the suspension of the reproductive function of sperm resorting to surgery.In medicine, a well-known method of contraception for men like vasectomies, by which is meant peresekanie vas deferens.This operation takes place very quickly, within 30 minutes, and after 2-3 months - completely eliminating the need for contraception.
main advantage of male sterilization is a reliable method, since after the operation the woman there is no possibility of getting pregnant by her partner.But there are also disadvantages, it is primarily the irreversibility of the process - a man will always remain fruitless.In addition, vasectomy - one of the most expensive surgeries, so can afford it, not all.
Most people have regular sexual partners, used as a contraceptive coitus interruptus.Only with this method, you can experience all the thrill of having sex, but it is one of the most inefficient and safest ways of preventing unwanted pregnancy.

Kia Sorento's 'Streetwolf' presents the next generation CUV
Conceptualized from a 'Streetwolf' motif, the 3rd-gen Sorento gets a contemporary styling change to reflect a bolder on-the-road presence. The front of the new Sorento incorporates long, wrap-around headlights and more prominent fog-lights, as well as a larger signature 'tiger-nose' 3-D grille. In profile, the new Sorento retains the variant's hallmark long bonnet and characteristic wide D-pillar, however the newer CUV receives a lower roofline, higher beltline and swept-back shape. From the rear, the CUV takes up more prominent 'shoulders' and a sculpted registration plate surround.
In dimensions, the new Sorento is enhanced by 95 mm to 4,780 mm in length, down 15 mm to 1,685 mm in height and up 5 mm to 1,890 mm in width. At the same time, wheelbase has gone up by 80mm to 2,780, which means the interior is afforded more space. While, the CUV's roofline is 15mm lower but doesn't effect the headroom for occupants.
The new Sorento's interior styling was led by the brand's European design team, based in Frankfurt. The styling of the cabin follows a 'modern and wide' theme, providing the interior with a stable, horizontal layout and appearance. This width is echoed in the wider instrument cluster, interior garnish and the wrap-around shape of the dashboard which extends into the door trims. A higher proportion of soft-touch materials and leather trimmings create a modern luxury feel to the cabin and gives the new Sorento a genuine premium vehicle ambience. One of the most distinctive interior styling features is the Swiss watch-inspired user interface with the latest HMI (human-machine interface) technologies; all wrapped by a silver-look border.
The flowing contours of the dashboard were inspired by the 'flexible volume of the human body', rising to incorporate the driver's instrument binnacle. The smoothly-styled design curve in the doors, which leads from the audio speakers up to the SUV-style grab handles, also endows the cabin with a more trendy appearance. Customers in Europe are able to select a single-tone or dual-tone interior scheme with fabric or leather. Cargo space now with a new under-floor tonneau cover is increased up to 605 liters, compared to the previous version's boot capacity of 515 liters. Other interior highlights include 5- or 7-seat versions, 40/20/40 second row split seats, an Around-View Monitor (depending on markets), and a Smart Power Tailgate.
The new Sorento has a much improved NVH refinement thanks to increased torsional rigidity of the new bodyshell, soundproofing materials, as well as a DPF and an acoustic shield integrated into the engine's timing chain cover.
There are five engine options for the new Sorento with output ranging from 172 to 270 ps. The engine options include a 2.4-liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) unit, 2.4-liter and 3.3-liter multi-point injection (MPI) engines, and the revised 2.0-liter and 2.2-liter 'R' turbo-diesel units.
Stability and handling are much improved with the Sorento's standard front MacPherson Struts and rear multi-link. At the rear, the subframe supporting the suspension has larger bushings to better isolate it from the cabin and the larger shock absorbers are now mounted vertically behind the axle line, improving body control motion. Additionally, an all-new electric motor-driven power steering system (R-MDPS), available as either standard or optional equipment depending on country, is mounted directly onto the steering rack, rather than the steering column as on the outgoing version.
Kia Sorento gifted with a stronger overall structure and a host of safety features
The new Sorento is a lot tougher with the inclusion of a higher percentage of ultra-high tensile steel with stronger steel structures on wheel arches, tailgate surround and rear-wheel surround, as well as ultra-strong hot-stamped steel. Safety features are aplenty, including ASCC (Adaptive Smart Cruise Control); LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System); FCW (Front Collision Warning); BSD (Blind-Spot Detection); LCA (Lane Change Assist); RCTA (Rear Cross-Traffic Alert); and SLIF (Speed Limit Information Function).
