This gathering place in the morning, afternoon or evening is the perfect venue to savor breakfast delights, classic sandwiches and fresh salads.

Tavola embraces the diverse regions of the Italian peninsula. Its cuisine is an expression of the past and present, in which traditional dishes are prepared respecting their origin, yet creatively presented within the framework of a seasonally fresh and more contemporary culinary interpretation.
The floor to ceiling glass windows provide spectacular views of the lush tropical surroundings and of the Pacific.
The interior has been recently transformed to include a Wine Wall and Library, an exclusive and diverse collection of Grappa, and its entrance is graced with the Chef's very own Organic Herb Garden.
"A Tavola Non Si Invecchia Mai" At The Table No One Ages
All the paintings and sculptures exhibited in Tavola are for sale. You will find in our brochures presenting each work, all the explanations necessary about them.

On Oct. 26, 19 days after becoming the MGH's first hand transplant recipient, Joe Kinan showed how his unwavering commitment to having a positive attitude has paid off – he wiggled the fingers on his left hand for the first time in public.
MGH performs its first hand transplant
SUCCESS STORY: Kinan speaks with journalists as his fiancée, Carrie Pratt, and Cetrulo look on.
Hope. Tenacity. Perseverance.
Those are three key elements Joe Kinan uses to describe his attitude and outlook on life. A survivor of the devastating 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire, the 43-year-old has seen his share of difficult times and complex surgeries – 123 in the past decade – all to address the substantial injuries he sustained in the blaze.
On Oct. 26, 19 days after becoming the MGH's first hand transplant recipient, Kinan showed how his unwavering commitment to having a positive attitude has paid off – he wiggled the fingers on his left hand for the first time in public. Flanked by television cameras and journalists who attended a media event following his discharge from the hospital, Kinan thanked the dedicated MGH staff who have cared for him throughout the years.
"Joe has been incredibly inspiring to all of his doctors and nurses, and his courage is astounding," said Curtis L. Cetrulo Jr., MD, of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the new Hand Transplantation Service, who led the transplant team. "We're just so very glad that we could offer this procedure to him."
The 15-hour surgery was the first of its kind at the MGH, and Cetrulo expressed his appreciation to the many staff members who helped make the groundbreaking procedure a reality. While Kinan must take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of his life as a way to prevent rejection, the program's ultimate goal is to advance the field of transplantation to achieve tolerance. Cetrulo is working closely with the Transplantation Biology Research Center, which last month celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first use of the tolerance protocol in an organ transplant patient. The protocol includes a bone marrow transplant using cells from the donor in conjunction with the transplant, which results in the body eventually accepting the transplanted tissue without the need for life-long immunosuppressive drugs.
"We are working to eliminate the need for these drugs," Cetrulo said. "Joe's courage in being the first recipient will help lead us to better ways to perform this surgery going forward."

Born from the cold waters of Vancouver Island, Canada, Ocean Rodeo kites are built for less than stellar conditions. Knowing that conditions are not always ideal, the equipment developed and used are beyond rugged and can take a beating. There is no place for second rate gear in rocky strewn beaches that get smashed by intense North Pacific storms.

At Kite-Line, we have Ocean Rodeo's Razor, a freestyle wave kite made for beginners and pros alike. The Prodigy is an all terrain freeride kite perfect for riders looking for the perfect kite for every style and pursuit. Capable of handling all riding conditions, the Prodigy is available in four different colors. The Flite kite was engineered for riding in the lightest of wind conditions. Ocean Rodeo also offers the Cypher and Rise kites for park riding and Rise trainer for those just looking to have a little fun.

The Duke: The world's first, fully rethought, kiteboarding specific directional.
The 2015 Ocean Rodeo Mako Duke joins the Mako lineup as the world's first kiteboarding funboard
Traditional directional kiteboards are based on a surfboard design, not ideally suited to kite specific needs. 4 years in the making, the Mako Duke is a fresh take on a directional kiteboard and borrows heavily from our long history of successful board design. The Duke's deep Mako concave ensures this board rides smoothly over the chop, reducing nose chatter often associated with other directional boards. The concave also helps the Duke rip up wind and leads to a much more stable board with a massive sweet spot, good for transitional footwork and landing tricks.
The Duke's concave also allowed us to move the fins further back, giving the board a loose, free feel when turning off the tail at slower speeds and allowing for hard carving turns at higher speed off the rail. Up top, the full EVA deck and flatter tail rocker gives the rider a sense of entitlement to explore their options and practically begs you to jam and ride the board backward for a laugh.

The Ocean Rodeo Ignite Drysuit features our revolutionary Captive Zip design (patent pending), the Ignite design has merged dry-suit water integrity with the comfort of traditional foul weather pant/jacket combinations. When worn in "full dry" mode, the Ignite is 100% dry – go ahead, jump in and play with the penguins. If conditions back off or you're taking a break between sessions, the Ocean Rodeo Ignite Drysuit is quickly converted to "standby mode" by unzipping the dry zip and removing the neck seal. With the neck off and the over jacket zipped up, the Ignite provides ventilation and protection on par with leading two piece pant / jacket foul weather gear ensembles. The unique dry zip design allows zipping and unzipping while wearing your PFD (always wear a PFD).
Loaded with expedition style features, the Ocean Rodeo Ignite Drysuit is designed to be worn for extended periods of time above and beyond a quick after work session. Whether you are kiting through winter, expedition SUP'ing, or testing your limits sailing across the Atlantic, the Ignite delivers the highest levels of comfort, durability and all weather marine protection, blurring the line between dry-suits and foul weather gear. As added security we've added a "wader" belt at the waist to restrict water entry into the lower suit due to accidental submersion when worn in standby mode.
Other premium features include padded knees, removable neoprene lined hood with fast drainage design, attached soft socks, recoil Velcro cinches at wrists and ankles. The Ocean Rodeo Ignite Drysuit is fitted with a one- atmosphere jacket zip, storm cuffs and ankles and an ultra-high all weather collar.

After a successful introductory year the 2010 Ocean Rodeo Go-Joe is promising to be everything we ever needed. Stronger, better, lighter, and easier to use. A great idea and an innovative product that is moving from beginners to wave riders and mainstream users. If you don't have one it's worth to check it out.
Traditional surfboard style leashes used to connect kiters with their boards have proven to be dangerous in both the water and on land. The GO – Joe™ is a new "leash free" tool to assist in the retrieval of your kiteboard without fear of being impacted or impeded by a leashed board. The GO – Joe™ is perfect for beginners and intermediates learning board recovery techniques. Advanced riders will appreciate the faster board recovery in extreme conditions or while learning new tricks.
What is it?
The GO – Joe™ is an inflatable tube structure attached to deck of the kiteboard that uses the natural forces of buoyancy distribution and wind to roll you kite board right side up and accelerate it down wind. These features combined with high visibility and additional floatation will make the use of surfboard style leashes in kiteboarding obsolete.
Design details:
1. The unique hour glass design of the inflatable tube structure places the self righting buoyancy at a high pivot point. This distribution of flotation will power roll your board right side up if it lands foot straps down in the water, (foot straps down create drag, slowing the boards drift)
2. With the board right side up and foot strap resistance eliminated, the GO – Joe™ is positioned on the board forward of center allowing the wind to turn and sail the GO – Joe ™ down wind towards the rider. If the rider maintains their position with the kite at the zenith the board will simply sail downwind towards you.
3. The hour glass shaped design of the GO – Joe™ fits comfortably between the riders feet and does not restrict mobility. The hour glass shape also eliminates drag caused by spray from the boards rails
4. The GO – Joe™ is very light and durable using our proven manufacturing techniques.
Construction and durability:
1. The inflatable tubes are manufactured with the same techniques and materials used on our kite tubes. 110 micron PU inner bladder with HD Nylon outer cover. Bomber!
2. Deck mounting plate uses the same construction as our foot pad deck plates.
How to install the GO – Joe™
1. Simply screw the GO – Joe™ into the grab handle inserts found on any board. Pump-up the GO – Joe™ tube, and you are ready to ride! Deflate the GO Joe™ for easy storage and transport.
2. One size fits all; available in high visibility orange and yellow.

The 2015 Ocean Rodeo Flite is the lightest kite we've ever made! This translates to an ultra stable kite that won't luff over in the flukiest of winds and practically bounces back up off the water when re-launching. Built with a fun, nimble 3 strut frame the Flite is the world's first high performance, x-over freeride light wind kite.

The 2014 Ocean Rodeo Origin Kiteboard is the start of something good...
The task of the 2014 Ocean Rodeo Origin Kiteboard was to create a board that's easy to learn on, compatible for riders of all sizes, quality constructed, great looks, a kiteboard that you'd want to keep in your quiver as your skill level improves. After many generations of prototypes we found the answer. At 142x47, the Origin sounds big but we've narrowed the tips down to 33cm to give the board the playfulness of a fun twin tip. The result is a board that is early to plane, drives upwind, is good in the chop, jumps well, and is a great "lighter wind" board.
The 2014 Ocean Rodeo Origin offers incredible value as an affordable board you will not outgrow.

AUBURN Friends and family members of Jenna L. Hinman remembered her on a warm afternoon as a fun-loving person whose spirit lives on in her infant daughters.
Mrs. Hinman, 26, who died Monday at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, battled stage 3 choriocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer, for two months after giving birth to her twins. The story of Mrs. Hinman and her husband, Sgt. Brandon Hinman, 30, of Fort Drum, touched thousands of people across the north country and around the world who offered prayers and wishes on social media and donated to fundraising drives to help the family.
During calling hours Friday at Pettigrass Funeral Home, those closest to Mrs. Hinman described her as an overwhelmingly outgoing, warm and sweet woman, even from her earliest years; a woman with the ability to bring out the best in others.
Jenna was a little ham. She always had a smile, said Mrs. Hinmans uncle John J. Warter III of Port Byron. Shed always find a good in somebody. That was Jenna; shed look at somebody and pick out the good.
Siblings Jack A. Wieczorek and Rachel E. Wierczorek attended high school in Port Byron with Mrs. Hinman and recalled her fun-loving spirit. She was rambunctious, fun, hilarious, Mr. Wierczorek said. She was always getting me to get myself in trouble.
She was always getting you out of trouble, too, Ms. Wierczorek said.
Besides her husband and their daughters, Kinleigh Anne and Azylnn Mary, Mrs. Hinman is survived by her parents, Jeff and Kim Blaisdell of Port Byron; her brother, Joshua Blaisdell of Port Byron; and her mother-in-law, Linda (John) Zink of South Carolina, and father-in-law, Greg (Jackie) Hinman of Weedsport.
The Hinmans learned in January that they were expecting. In late February and into March, Mrs. Hinman became ill, though her symptoms were attributed to a temporary malady. She gave birth to the twins March 3 at Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown, where she worked as a recreational therapist.
Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer that began with tumors in her uterus. She was transferred to Crouse, where her condition seemed to improve, only to decline sharply last weekend with the onset of pneumonia.
Babies that are developing in the womb when choriocarcinoma is present often do not survive the pregnancy. The fact that they did in this case is one source of a comfort in an otherwise incomprehensible tragedy, according to Tara L. Martin, a college friend of Mrs. Hinmans.
Its hard to come to acceptance, Ms. Martin said. But she still realized the dream of having the babies. She held them, fed them, burped them. I have videos I can show them when theyre older.
Ms. Martin and another of Mrs. Hinmans college friends, Brielle E. Fox, said that the twins are a strong reminder of their friend. We see her in the fingers, the face, the attitude, every expression, Ms. Martin said.
Contributions may be made in Mrs. Hinmans memory to a special trust fund being set up for Azlynn and Kinleigh. Donations can be sent to: Hinman Twins Trust, 9772 Route 38, Port Byron, N.Y. 13140.

White Peach Tart
A perfect summer dessert should be easy to put together and it should definitely utilize and enhance the delicious fruit available this time of year. There are quite a few types of desserts that fit these requirements: crumbles, cobblers, and grunts for example, but sometimes I feel fancy and I want to make a tart. Something about lining a pan with fruit arranged in concentric circles just makes me feel elegant. What? Just me?
Tarts can be really easy you guys, especially when you can just pat the crust into a pan (no rolling! and for the love of unicorns, no blind baking!) Then, all you have to do is slice up some of summer's sweetest, blushing white peaches (no peeling!), toss them gently with a bit of ginger and lime for a punch of flavor, tuck them into your previously patted crust, and wait patiently.
After a few minutes in a hot oven the peaches soften and release their juices, the corny crust crisps and browns, and it's done. A perfect summer pair, all baked up in a fancy dessert that was a cinch to put together.
Not that this even needs to be said, but the leftovers (if there are any) make a delicious breakfast.
White Peach Tart with Ginger and Lime in a Cornmeal Crust
yield, 1 10'' or 11'' tart
For the Crust
This makes a nice, thick crust (about 1/4'') which is my preference. If you prefer your crusts on the thin side, you may want to set aside a bit of the dough for another use before patting it into the pan.
4 ounces corn flour (or very fine cornmeal)
4 ounces all purpose flour
1.75 ounces sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces butter, melted and cooled
1 egg yolk
1. In a medium bowl, stir the flours, sugar, salt and lime zest. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add in the olive oil, butter and egg yolk. Stir gently to combine.
2. Turn the dough out into a 10'' or 11'' removable bottom tart pan and pat it evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate the shell while you prepare the filling.
For the Filling
4 medium white peaches
1'' piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
juice of 1/2 a lime
1.75 ounces turbinado sugar (or white sugar)
3/4 ounce all purpose flour
1 ounce cold butter (cut into small cubes)
Preheat oven to 425º
1. Cut the peaches into wedges about 1/2'' thick (I cut my peaches into eighths).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lime zest and juice, turbinado sugar and flour. Add the sliced peaches and toss gently to coat them in the mixture.
3. Arrange the peaches in tight concentric circles on top of the prepared shell, pour any juices left in the bowl on top, and dot the tart with the cold butter cubes.
4. Slide the tart into the oven and bake until the peaches are soft and have released their juices and the crust is golden, about 30-40 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature with whipped cream, creme fraiche or a scoop of ice cream.

If you're new to weight training, start slowly to minimize your risk of injury. Remember, using too much weight can negatively impact your form and lead to injury. Always give your muscles time to rest and recover.
Switch up your weight-training routine to maximize your results—rotate use of bars, bands, free weights and machines alongside your cardio conditioning to keep your workout fresh.

|Shelters react to kitten season
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 25 May 2007 04:03
It's the season for kittens and puppies.With so many new additions, how are local humane societies handling the pressure? Very well, according to Avery County Humane Society's Charlene Calhoun. Most shelters are overrun with animals. Not every shelter in the High Country is overcrowded though. In Avery County, a rare situation exists: there's plenty of room. Earlier this week there were only four puppies at Avery County Humane Society.
Memorial Day Weekend may be the perfect opportunity to invest in a pet, so check out your local animal shelter.

Albuquerque, NM (Sports Network) - Alex Kirk scored 25 points and the 14th- ranked New Mexico Lobos earned 70-60 victory over San Diego State to maintain its cushion atop the Mountain West Conference.
The Lobos (24-4, 11-2, MWC) have won four straight, including a huge win at Colorado State last weekend that gave them a two-game lead in the conference.
Kendall Williams erupted for 46 points behind 10 3-pointers in that contest, but played the role of facilitator on Wednesday, finishing with eight assists and as many points.
Kirk was Williams' favorite finisher, as the center hit 8-of-12 from the field, 3-of-3 from behind the arc and 6-of-6 from the foul line. Cameron Bairstow chipped in 16 points for the victors.
Jamaal Franklin had a team-high 16 points, but shot just 3-of-13 for San Diego State (20-8, 8-6), which was trying to sweep the season series from the Lobos.

Icelanders and Their Culturally Inherited Belief in Elves
HT exapologist
This brings to mind Hugo Dyson's famous complaint about his colleague J.R.R. Tolkien's obsession with elves.
I find it interesting that elf belief in Iceland has practical "moral" consequences. Icelanders apparently go out of their way to avoid violating elves' imputed property rights through their building activities. Why, if elves don't exist, Icelanders could build whatever they want, wherever they want, without facing accountability from elves for their actions!
I now have to wonder which is the stranger Icelandic phenomenon. Bjork, Magnus Scheving, or the Elves.
What perhaps heightens the shocking nature of their belief in elves is that Iceland is a very high-tech culture. By 1999, over 82% of the population had access to a computer, and had 1,007 mobile phones per 1,000 residents by 2006. Iceland also has a 100% literacy rate, and produces an enormous number of citizens with PHds.
As with most of the stuff on this site, there's always the other side of the story that goes missing. Here are some interesting facts about Iceland and elves from a survey done in 2007:
"Only 3 percent of Icelanders lay claim to personal encounters, but 8 percent believe in them outright and 54 percent won't deny their existence, reveals a poll conducted in 2007 by Terry Gunnell, head of folkloristics at the University of Iceland. "Rather than believe," he explains, "they don't disbelieve." (source)
Only 13 percent of participants in the study said it is impossible that elves exist, 19 percent found it unlikely, 37 percent said elves possibly exist, 17 percent found their existence likely and eight percent definite. Five percent did not have an opinion on the existence of elves...About 1,000 people participated in the questionnaires. (source)
Terry Gunnell also says "It's not like they think there are little people living in there who come and dance outside," he added. "It's more a sense that there are other powers, other forces around them." (source)
The Iceland Tourist Board however states that more than ten percent of the Icelandic population believes in elves, including singer-songwriter Björk. Another ten percent denies their existence while the remaining 80 percent are in doubt. (source)
So no, not "half of Icelanders believe in the existence of elves". Only 8% do.
Next time, please present ALL of the information instead of just the bits that appeal to your world view. Don't be scared to let the reader decide for themselves.
I found this little gem to be particularly insightful:
"Very few people believe that they have all the answers at their fingertips, nor would they claim to have the mystery of life sorted out once and for all. The few of us who do know everything (in their own estimation) can answer the question about the existence of elves with a straight yes or no; but the rest of us have to admit that there may be more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Elves are the embodiment of this uncertainty. We have, in other words, more questions than answers, and this question is among them." (source)
Sorry, but when construction projects are delayed or diverted in Iceland because of the worry of disturbing the "hidden people", we're talking widespread deeply-held belief.
""We consider this talk about elves and hidden people as a kind of public relations issue," Ingolfsson says. The authority has repeatedly had to deal with people having trouble with certain road plans, thinking that elves or hidden people lived at the sites. "Because Iceland is such a small community, we have to listen to everyone," Ingolfsson says. "We can't just say you're crazy." (source)
Makes sense.
What are the numbers showing how many construction projects were delayed or diverted because of elves?
Sylvia from your same source "Most people probably don't think elves exist -- but not in Iceland. The (majority of the population) on this remote North Atlantic island either believes in elves or at least refuses to rule out their existence."
"we have to listen to everyone," Ingolfsson says. "We can't just say you're crazy."
Is maybe meaning the (few) who really realize just how stupid this belief really is, cant simply just tell (everyone) they dont know what they are talking about.
I guess Ingolfsson needs to find a way to find proof of the non existence of elves.Kinda like trying to find proof for the non existence of Gods.
A need to try to disprove a default theory is not so easy.Maybe its even a harder task with elf beliefs,as far as i know they didnt write bibles that later in time can be seen to be wrong.
I'm seconding Gandolf.
Also, one of your quotes doesn't support your claim the way you think it does, viz.:
Only 13 percent of participants in the study said it is impossible that elves exist, 19 percent found it unlikely, 37 percent said elves possibly exist, 17 percent found their existence likely and eight percent definite. Five percent did not have an opinion on the existence of elves...About 1,000 people participated in the questionnaires.
So even if we go with the low-ball numbers in the source you cite here, 17% find their existence likely -- in other words, they think it's more probable than not -- and another 8% are certain that elves exist. That's a full quarter of Iceland's population -- i.e., 1 in every 4 people --who think it's more probable than not that elves exist, according to just this source. And when you add the 37% who seriously feel they can't rule it out that elves exist (a category of a level of credence that the study you quote distinguishes from both thinking elves are impossible and from thinking the existence of elves are unlikely), we get at total of 62% of Iceland's population who think there's a real sporting chance that elves exist. Sorry, but this quote doesn't help your case in undermining widespread credulity about elves in Iceland.
Where do you see me trying to undermine widespread credulity about elves in Iceland? I'm presenting facts from third-party sources. You see where I've done this, I presume? Great. So, I trust you can also see the point of my comments - that it's not enough to say "roughly half of Icelanders believe in the existence of elves" without disclosing that 8% actually believe in the existence of elves. I'm arguing the presentation of the data, not what it means for Christianity (seeing as I don't care about the latter).
So, I trust you can also see the point of my comments - that it's not enough to say "roughly half of Icelanders believe in the existence of elves" without disclosing that 8% actually believe in the existence of elves.
Yes, and again, what I'm saying is that you're flat-out wrong: the polling statistics you cite do not support your claim. In other words, you've misconstrued what the poll actually says. The poll says that 8% believe outright that elves exist, but you re-worded it as saying that 8% believe. In doing so, you've conflated outright belief with belief simpliciter. This makes it sound as though (i) you don't know what 'outright' means, (ii) you don't know that 'outright' is used as a modifier of the verb 'believe', and that (iii) you don't know that belief comes in degrees. Once you appreciate this, you'll see that the polls don't support your claim.
I am from Iceland. I am an Atheist, and a former pentecostal Christian.
I know of examples where people have avoided cutting the grass of certain hills, in order not to disturb the elves. I know Pentecostals that think elves are demons.
I know a person that works for a certain town. (She is the mother of a friend of mine). She was told to moan a certain lawn in the town, but refused, since she didn't want to anger the elves that supposedly lived there. (refused out of fear)
Icelandic Atheists regularly debate with people that believe in elves. Some of the "elve-believers" are well educated and smart people. They believe that they have caught elves on films, etc. (not unlike UFO pictures)
I was just listening to this podcast the other day, from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, with Hope Knutsson, who emigrated from the US 30 years ago, in search of some humanistic ideal (scroll down):
Everything's just wonderful there, they agree, the whole country's teeming with "free thinkers", the joke is that an Icelander only attends church 4 times in a lifetime, and 2 of those times they get carried in, etc.
So this is what happens to you guys, after you deconvert - you start believing in elves, eh? ;-)
exapologist - so 8% of Icelanders believe outright that elves exist. The other 92% don't believe outright that elves exist. As Terry says, "Rather than believe, they don't disbelieve."
I'll give you this much, Sylvia, your refusal to understand is impressive. ;-)
Outright belief is full belief, i.e., certitude. But belief comes in degrees, depending on the strength of one's conviction and one's disposition to act on it. It's not as though we only have three doxastic states: certitude, suspension of judgement and complete disbelief.
I have certitude that the sun will rise tomorrow. I belief slightly more tentatively that my cat will come home to eat today. I belief a bit more tentatively that it'll rain tomorrow when the weatherperson says there's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, and even more tentatively when he says there's a 65-70% chance.
So again, the poll doesn't support your claim that only 8% of Icelanders believe in elves.
"These beliefs are culturally inherited ones. Christian, why do you think yours are not!"
John, it's because of the evidence.
Thanks, Sindri. That's fascinating that elf-believers debate atheists about it.

A total of 5 million unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II devices have been shipped in the last 85 days. This is the number that shows that the device has become very popular, and continues to grow in popularity. The phone first became available 85 days ago, and was able to reach more than 3 million total units sold within the first 55 days after its release. This is something that many did not expect, and is a very high amount of total sales. Samsung has a total of 56% market share on the mobile phone market throughout South Korea, is allow them to continue to grow the number of phones that they have out there. As the largest company for mobile phones within South Korea, they have an ability to test new forms and to really raise the number of mobile users that they have.
The Galaxy S II is also rumored to be released on AT&T at some point in the very near future. A number of additional carrier announcements have been made in your right around the corner. It will be interesting to see if they are able to garner the same support on AT&T as they have with other carriers as well. Just like the iPhone, they are looking to expand the number of companies that utilize the device and are able to reach a larger number of customers.
Samsung has continually released popular devices and has positioned themselves as the main competition for Apple's unlocked iPhone 4 products. It will be interesting to see if they are able to keep up this newfound popularity in several different countries as they already have. With over 50% of the market share in South Korea, the company is looking to gain some additional market share in the USA as well. The device is quite popular and the reviews for it so far have been stellar. With a version of the device coming to AT&T you can bet that they will be able to put together an excellent offering for fans of their devices.

9/9 Prime time Soriano
Alfonso Soriano picked the right NFL jersey to wear on Sunday. The Cubs players celebrated the start of pro football season by wearing their favorite jerseys, and Soriano picked Deion Sanders, Mr. Prime Time. Soriano was the Cubs' prime time player on Sunday, hitting a tie-breaking two-run home run. He's now closing in on 100 RBIs for the first time since 2005. Soriano, who didn't hit his first homer of the season until May 15, now has 94 RBIs, the most in a single-season since he drove in 95 in 2006 with the Nationals.
"It's like he's on a mission right now," Dale Sveum said. "Since May 15, him and [the Brewers' Ryan] Braun are neck and neck in RBIs and homers. Sori's had one heck of a 4 1/2 months to this point. It's been pretty spectacular."
He's definitely not feeling his age.
"I'm 36 years old, working, and I don't feel like 36," Soriano said. "I have my hands and my power and that's more important. I want to prove to my teammates and people outside that I'm 36 but I don't feel like I'm 36 and I can do a lot of things in this game."

how is he approaching Pena numbers?? They are no where near the same…
I would like to see Soriano finish his contract with the Cubs. You failed to mention he has zero errors (I think) this year and he is going hard after everything.
I admit Soriano has GREATLY IMPROVED his defense. Greatly improving HIS defense….was it really that hard to do? This does not make him a very good outfielder. None-the-less, he DID improve by his own effort, he has very good offensive numbers and we can't blame Mother Natue for robbing him of his speed. All that said he is still not a very disciplined hitter and his average suffers for it, he is not very intuitive in the outfield despite having only one error. What it comes down to is a shame that he pretty much wasted a good part of his career by turning the lights on a little too late. His plaque on the wall at Wrigley would have to include "Too Little, Too Late". The next two years with him in LF will be tolerable at best and despite his "great" season I would like to see him traded to an AL contending team that can milk some offense out of him and allow him to go out in style. I can only think he would want to remain a Cub to avoid failing in the spotlight of a contending team and that is sad.
yes the giants did want him… baltimore wanted him last year… he just doesn't want to go anywhere because he is comfortable here. Now that does tick me off… more than anything…. if the FO works out a deal to trade you then its a sign of get the heck out of here. Dempster did the same thing… thats why NTC SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep going Sorry…keep going mate. More HRs, more RBIs….no errors…I want to be entertained.
Soriano is one of the few reasons to watch the Cubs play. At least we can watch him seek 30 HR and 100 RBI. In doing so he won 4 games in a row with the winning hit. I Sure do not go to watch Vitters or Jackson or some of our pitchers from I do not know where. How all the critics can get all over him when he is by far our best player out there day in and day out. Sort of like a dog biting its own tail.
Teams like the Giants that DID want Sorry for their playoff run DO realize he is NOT a very good all around ball player and is NOT the hitter you would want with the game ON THE LINE, however it is a calculated risk that despite all of Sorry's minuses, his one or two pluses (homeruns/RBI's) would help score runs allowing the playoff contending team to have a better chance of either winning a game or being in a "GAME ON THE LINE" situation, allowing a BETTER, MORE COMPETANT hitter to drive in the tying or winning run. It's a reasonable risk by the Giants to have pursued Sorry for this season's playoff run. Now they, and the world knows Sorry's true motivation…..rule in hell rather than serve in heaven. I hope Hoystein continues a concerted effort in trying to convince Sorry he would be better off finishing his career on another team and is indeed traded this coming winter.
Disagree. Soriano's home-runs and RBI's are home-runs and rbi's . He is hustling now and now is what counts. The passed cannot be changed. How many of those contenders like the Giants have a LF who has his numbers? I would like to see him back in LF for the Cubs next year. We do not need antother Josh Vitters in LF no matter how young he is or how good in playied in the minors. Last year Soriano was plagued by some bad leg issues all year.
Joey… Vitters played LF in the minors a few times…. thats when
you said Soriano led all the majors in errors 01 through 11 which is a false statement…. if you would have said he led all ML LFers in errors in 09, 10, and 11 you were right which I stated right after my post because I misread the baseball reference site. But never once has Soriano had more errors than anyone else in baseball.
how bout your comment 9/11 at 2:15pm…. you changed ur tune there….. whatever I am just saying watch what you say
You sure have not been watching the same Soriano I have been watching. He has been diving and running into the brick wall making plays. He is certainly in the top half of starting LF in the national league when it comes to effort and fielding. I think he has a total of Zero errors. He has the winning RBI in the last four games, hit 27 home runs and 94 RBI. Since May he has been right there with Ryan Braun in these stats. We should be lucky enough to have two more Soriano's in the outfield. He has been our best offensive player by far this year. I am pulling for him to reach 100 RBI and 30 HR. If he continues like he has he will reach these coveted numbers. If you want to complain about our offense then look some place else as he is one of the better offensive players in the NL this year. I much hope he spends the last year of his contract with the Cubs as we have no one ever remotely close to him in offense. He also holds his own in defense with no errors and a big effort on all his plays.
haha you act like you know the guy personally… you don't… plain and simple you only see the bad… it has been said time and time again how much impact Soriano has in the club house. He is a mentor and a stand up guy. I think part of the reason he has struggled the past few years is because he just wasn't healthy… his body is breaking down. He just kept playing through it and never complained. This year he has been healthy and you can now see his range getting worse because its later in the season and again his body just needs the rest. I am not saying he is worth the 19mill that he gets paid. What I am saying is you know nothing about him personally…neither do i but I know what I have read and its always been positive.
I do recall his seemingly lack of effort last year. I also remember he had some real issues with his legs but played anyway and never made an issue or excuse about his legs. He said his legs were 100% at the start of this season. His lacke of effort last year may have been more leg problems than real effort. Anyway this year he is playing really great I think. His numbers for fielding and hitting, HR, RBI, game winning hits, etc reflect just how good he has been. I recall him actually limping when going after a ball or even running the bases.
He has one error this year but still very much improved. He's had an issue with defense going back to the yankees so it's good to see McKay having him turn it around. I had never seen him rob someone of a homerun before until the other day. With the more dispersed interleague play next year he might actually be of some value. It's just too bad he can't steal bases anymore.
o i forgot the only stats are homers and RBIs…
everything you just said was all a lie… Soriano has NEVER led the major leagues in Errors… he has had the most errors by a second baseman multiple times but never with the cubs. As a LF he has NEVER had the most of all LFers. Honestly if you are going to come on here and run your mouth please have something to back it up. You are just looking like another ignorant fan. Also what errors Soriano used to make he made up with having the MOST Putouts and assists so you could say him being in LF actually benefitted the club he was with some (some not a lot). Who has the highest fielding % of all LFers this year, the year that matters? Soriano……….. In the words of Will Ferrell, " Shut ur mouth…. you're sounding stupid right now"
i stand corrected he did lead all LFers with the Cubs 3 times… but not the most at all positions….
haha ok but you said "I know him… have been around him for many years." What you meant is I don't know him and like to run my mouth… got it… I agree with what you meant to say

Charlie Huisking:
A Brother's Loving Memorial
When Sarah Huisking was growing up in Sarasota, some of her happiest times were spent in the late Gothic-style Sarasota High School building facing U.S. 41 near downtown Sarasota. A 1960 graduate of the school, Sarah was in the National Honor Society and on the swim team. But her favorite subject was art, an avocation that enriched her life even during the battle with cancer that she lost in 2008.
When her brother, Charlie Huisking, was looking for an appropriate way to honor Sarah's memory, the answer came to him immediately: a $250,000 commitment to Ringling College of Art and Design to create the Sarah F. Huisking Art Studio. The gift will be fulfilled in part through a fund established by Charlie and Sarah's parents. Fittingly, the studio will be in Sarah's high school building, which Ringling College is transforming into the Visual Arts Educational Center, home of the Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA).
Charlie describes his sister as an "incredibly generous and caring person." Most of her paintings, which included landscapes and portraits done in oils and water colors, were gifts to others. "In fact, a week before she died, she was in art class working on a painting of my schnauzer," Charlie says. "It's become one of my prized possessions."
"Sarah loved Sarasota High, she cared about historic preservation, and she was an avid painter," says Charlie, a former arts writer for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
"As a reporter, I covered Ringling College for years and wrote some of the first stories about its decision to join forces with the Sarasota Museum of Art. So, this project seemed like the perfect memorial."

NEW BREMEN The grass has been cut, the grandstand has been reassembled and local drivers have already thrown in a practice round.
The Adirondack International Speedway on Artz Road is set for its Fall Foliage-Welcome All Back to Racing event Sunday.
Everybody I talked to cant wait for this track as theyll be taking their families, said Glenn Lavanche, a volunteer at the track who helped spruce up the grounds.
The track, complete with a grandstand that seats between 3,500 and 4,000 and the half-mile paved oval, has been dormant the past four years.
The track was closed after the speedway filed a lawsuit against Lewis County in 2010, which stemmed from a 2004 lien placed on the speedway by the county after the state comptroller ruled a $500,000 grant funneled through Lewis County Opportunities was illegal. Now the speedway will open the gates for the event, and locals couldnt be happier.
A group of drivers hit the track Sunday for practice, bringing the once overgrown facility back to life.
Its a nice track, fast and huge, said 15-year-old Thunderstock driver Erica Gardner, a Lowville Academy and Central School sophomore who had previously raced at Evans Mills Speedway. She has been racing since she was 14, which echoes her cars No. 14, and first got involved after seeing a friends father race.
Ive never raced Adirondack International Speedway before ... but its closer to home and Evans Mills is a lot smaller, she said.
Its one of the best tracks Ive been at, said first-time AIS racer Verne Harris of Castorland who has been racing modified since 2006. He took the track modified class champion title at Evans Mills in 2012.
Im hoping to get a lot of modifieds to come out, Harris added. Itll be fun.
Wendy and Bruce McLane of Croghan have been supporting family members or racing there since 2000. There was quite a few of us traveling to Evans Mills. I think well get a lot of us here from Beaver Falls and Croghan, Bruce McLane said.
Classes include thunderstock, legends, pick-ups, superstock, super 10s, dirt modified and late modified.
According to track owner Paul Lyndaker, the three-week process of getting the track ready for race day has gone relatively smoothly. However, he said that during the four-year dormant span, an estimated $115,000 worth of equipment was stolen. The track has done what it could to accommodate for the loss, including purchasing new cables.
For the future, the intention was to return for a full season in 2014 pending a lawsuit settlement that had been planned last month. But the settlement was postponed. The hope is to still have the track running in 2014.
The back pit gates will open at 10 a.m. Gate Three will open to spectators at noon with Hot Laps running from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. Official races are expected to begin at 2 p.m. Admission is $5 per head, free to children under 16. The pit gate entry fee is $20 per person.

Duke of Lancaster
An abandoned ship off the North Wales coast has been brought back to life after being covered in intricate street art..
..the hull of the rusting Duke Of Lancaster has been used as a blank canvas by a host of international graffiti artists, who call themselves the DuDug collective..
..turning the ship into a floating art installation was the brainchild of former street artist Maurice Blunt, who spotted the Duke Of Lancaster from a train..
DuDug aims to transform The Duke into the largest open air art gallery in the country. Blunt told Wales Online she already has 22 artists signed up to the project and is negotiating with many more
keep up the good work guys!
