Mark your calendars for Nov. 28 when Yountville's 20th Annual Festival of Lights gets underway in the small town with the big-city palate (it boasts six Michelin stars and more than 20 wineries).
From Nov. 28 through the end of the year, the city will be a winter wonderland lit with twinkling lights. On Nov. 28, look for carolers, elves horse-drawn carriages, ice carving, and a visit from Santa.
The fun gets going at 2 p.m. with a block party. Local restaurants, including Redd, Bistro Jeanty, and Bouchon Bistro, will serve up tastes of their specialities. Tasting tickets for food and wine are $1 each. For more information closer to the date, click here.
For more star wattage, trek to Santana Row, 5 p.m. Nov. 8, when Food Network darling, Tyler Florence, stops by to do a holiday-themed cooking demo at Sur La Table. He'll also sign copies of his new cookbooks, "Dinner At My Place" (Meredith) and "Stirring the Pot" (Meredith).
To purchase copies of the books, visit the store or call (408) 244-4749.
For a fix of Indian food, New Delhi Restaurant in San Francisco celebrates its 20th anniversary, 5 p.m. to midnight Nov. 16, with a gourmet buffet, libations, and dance performances.
Attendees are asked to make a donation of $40 per person for the event. Proceeds will go to the Tenderloin After-School Program and the Ghandi Ashram in New Delhi, both of which help underprivileged children.
It's all part of New Delhi Restaurant's Compassionate Chefs Cafe. Twice a year, the restaurant hosts events in its dining room, in which all proceeds go to children's organizations. Last year, $26,000 was raised.
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse in Palo Alto and Walnut Creek is keying in on another significant number: 90.
Its "Green is the New Red" wine dinners on Nov. 11 in Walnut Creek and Nov. 14 in Palo Alto will feature a five-course dinner with wines that not only scored 90 points or more, but are made from sustainable, organic, or biodynamically grown grapes.
Dishes include New York strip with mushroom risotto, paired with Freemark Abbey Cabarnet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2003.
Price for the dinner is $95 per person.
More wine fun is to be had in Wine Country. Martini House in St. Helena has begun its second annual "Battle of the Vines" competition.
Each week, two wines will be selected for a week-long, by-the-glass competition. At the end of each week, with wine with the higher unit sales will continue to be poured by the glass, and a new opponet wine will be chosen.
"Our location in the heart of California wine country means that we are blessed with direct access to some of the greatest winemakers in the industry," says Executive Chef/Co-Owner Todd Humphries. "The downside is that with nearly 400 wineries in Napa Valley alone, it's impossible to showcase everything. Thus, we created the Battle of the Vines for our friends and neighbors so they could put their wines up against each other one-on-one."
When enough weekly champions have been crowned, the restaurant will host another event, this one showcasing all the top wines.

The new horror anthology film The ABC's of Death is built on a fairly simple idea: take a number of top-tier directors and have them all make a short film based on a letter of the alphabet, from Nacho Vigalondo's A Is for Apocalypse to Yoshihiro Nishimura's Z is for Zetsumetsu. But after the first 25 filmmakers were found one letter was left unassigned: T. Instead of finding an established name for the segment, the search for a helmer was turned into a contest where aspiring directors would have a chance to submit their own ideas. And when the dust settled it was Lee Hardcastle's Claymation exercise T Is for Toilet that ended up taking the prize.
With The ABC's of Death currently available on multiple platforms, including Cable VOD, iTunes, Amazon, Xbox Zune, Playstation Market, VUDU and Google Play, and gearing up for a theatrical release on March 8th, I recently had the chance to correspond with Hardcastle via email about his big break and his wonderfully horrific short. Check out our chat below, in which the director talks the arduous process of stop-motion, how fear of losing his parents led to the gory short, and his hopeful future as a filmmaker.
But that's not all! We are one of 26 sites who got to speak with the directors of The ABC's of Death and you can see all of them over on the movie's official Tumblr Page.
How did you first hear about the contest? Was it something you immediately jumped at the chance to do, or did it take some time for the idea to find you?
It's funny because I read about the ABCs of Death project before the competition was announced back in March 2011 and at the time I was really dedicated to making claymation horror shorts and it was something I was just getting off the ground. I got really excited about the project and had a moment of frantically searching online for contact details so I could maybe offer myself as one of the directors to one of the producers or something, I really wanted to be a part of the film and it was in that moment I stumbled upon their plan to run a competition for an unknown director to come on board. I thought that was the coolest idea for a competition ever, so rather than contacting anyone, I just waited for this "26th Director" competition to be announced, which was a couple of months later and I gave it my all once I read the rules and everything else.
I know that they set down the guidelines that it would be a segment for the letter "T," so how did you decide that "Toilet" had to be the theme?
When it was announced that they were looking for the letter T, I went through the motion of putting together a list of T words. I considered a few, the closest I chose before I settled on 'toilet' was 'Toad' which I thought would make a funny sort of monster movie about a giant toad eating people. I settled on toilet because I thought it was a simple, bold and beautiful word and a great setting for a Claymation to take place in.
Would you say this is a personal story? Was this a fear you had when you were a kid?
Hah, not really a fear of the toilet but a fear of losing my parents, which I once had a dream about. And I've spoken to other people before about dreams that they've had about losing their parents and it once came up in discussion in a class I had at high school which my teacher explained that it was a subconscious anxiety of growing up and becoming independent and so, the story of giving up the potty for the toilet and everything like that all made sense to me and fit together perfectly and gave me a playground to show of my claymation gore.
While obviously not exclusive, there seems to be an interesting link between stop-motion and the horror genre, with features like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, ParaNorman, Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie. What do you think the connection is?
I think because stop motion is old skool it has that weird charm to it that adds to the atmosphere. I remember watching Wallace and Gromit films as a child and I recognised that the mood and the lighting and sets and everything else was actually pretty creepy. I've always thought as an animation form that stop motion is a perfect match for telling a unsettling story.
Stop-motion animation is a tough process - how long did it take you to make the short? Did you have friends helping you out with the animation?
I was all alone when I made 'toilet' except for my sound engineer, Tim Atkins, who did all the sound from scratch. To shoot, I think it took about 20 days. There's an awful lot of planning involved before you start shooting and building models/sets. All in all, it most have took a full month to complete.

Can´t be without it after 1 pouch, and beside athletic performance it keeps you healthy as a teenager. Fat disappears.Goes Well With:Arginine akg
The L Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate product was okay but the free samples never arrived. Now I get bombarded with emails.Goes Well With:Would blend with almost anything.
"I like this product and it does work well when you mega dosing. I am on my 2nd KG of the stuff and i can tell you that it definitely works. I was stuck on a plateau and taking this stuff helped me by 1 rep/exercise a week. It does smell vile. The best way to take it is with vimto, but hold your breathe while you mix it. If you make a strong vimto drink you won't be able to taste it when you drink it. There is a bad side effect though. This stuff does affect your mood. Everytime i have had bad/angry moods so i would be careful about staying on it for a long time."
"This is a great product, I've always believed strongly in the value of OAKG. But buying it as a powder for the first time, I have to say, it is easily the most vile I have ever encountered. Very sour, acidic tasting. Your best bet is to stir it into a very small amount of smoothie and do a shooter, or cap it. NEVER COMBINE WITH MILK!!!"
"i reckon it's helping my back injury heal along with a few other sups i'm taking but as for the other claims test seems to indicate it's all in your head!\n\nCONCLUSIONS\nOKG did not cause a change in training intensity or volume, or result in an increase in muscle mass. However, ten grams of OKG taken daily with carbohydrates for six weeks produced small changes in bench press performance, but not squat performance. Therefore, the effect of OKG on strength remains unclear. OKG did not alter blood concentrations growth compound at the time periods measured in this study."
This stuff is mean't to be taken over a long period. Great!\n
"When taken at a high dose (170mg/kg bodymass), OAKG has been shown in some studies to significantly increase human growth coumpound release. Another effect of taking high doses above 10g daily seems to be increased generation of muscular contractive force, although this is anecdotal rather than confirmed by research. When taken in the evening can have a positive effect upon sleep."
"I can't rate it beyond its flavour because I've just started using it, but thought ppl might like to know how it tastes....\r\n... rather a lot like citrus and hence mixes well with fruit juices. I first tried it in hot chocolate, which made it taste like bile! :-)"

Can be used in a positive or neutral sense to refer to an artist that has attained appeal beyond fans of the genre in which the artist started out. Can also be used in a negative sense that implies "selling out" to refer to the same artists or to artists who are attempting such a crossover. The negative connotation is most often used by purist fans or fellow performers within that genre. This term gained some prominence in early 1990s rap as some rappers 1) attempted to tailor their acts to white suburbia, 2) employed what was regarded by some as an excessive amount of R&B on records, or 3) engaged in collaborations with heavy metal artists, in the style of Ice-T. The negative version of the term is now used less often in rap circles, as many mainstream rappers have blended the avaricious hustling image of street culture with the rampant consumerism of white suburbia so as to attain both crossover status and street cred.

Rios powers White Sox past Hernandez, Mariners 4-3
Rios powers White Sox past Hernandez, Mariners 4-3
Apr. 06, 2013
CHICAGO (AP) — The wind blew hot dog wrappers and napkins across the field, and wreaked havoc with every ball that went in the air. Dylan Axelrod said it was so bad he stepped off the mound a few times to keep from falling over.
Fortunately for the White Sox, Alex Rios found a way to slice one drive through the gusts for a big home run.
Rios hit a tiebreaking, two-run shot off Felix Hernandez in the sixth inning and Chicago beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Saturday.
"The way the wind was blowing today, there's no chance you can predict what the ball's going to do or how the wind's going to react," Rios said. "You're just hoping to put good swings on the ball and then hopefully they fall."
Rios' drive on an 0-2 pitch soared deep into the left-field seats, giving the White Sox a 3-1 lead. Alejandro De Aza singled and Dewayne Wise struck out before Rios connected for his second homer in two days. He also went deep Friday night, but the White Sox lost 8-7 in 10 innings.
"It's all about the confidence," he said. "When you have that confidence, you go up to the plate and you just think about seeing the ball and hitting the ball. You don't think about other things that kind of change your approach."
Hernandez (1-1) allowed four runs and six hits over 6 1-3 innings in his first try for win No. 100. The right-hander, who turns 27 on Monday, struck out three to give him 1,498 for his career.
"I had the fastball. I didn't have the command," he said. "The command was not there. I was just trying to make good pitches. But the wind was really hard. Just one mistake — the homer."
De Aza and Hector Gimenez each had a sacrifice fly as Chicago improved to 25-5 against Seattle since the start of the 2010 season. The White Sox will send ace Chris Sale to the mound on Sunday against Hisashi Iwakuma in the rubber game of the weekend set.
Seattle pulled within one on Michael Saunders' two-run homer in the eighth, but the rally fizzled from there. Jesse Crain wriggled out of a jam to get the ball to Addison Reed, who tossed a perfect ninth for his third save.
"We had some scoring opportunities late," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "We just didn't really come up with anything. Saunders got us back in the game. We just weren't able to capitalize on some of the opportunities we created for ourselves."
The Mariners grabbed the lead in the second when Raul Ibanez doubled, moved up on a passed ball and scored on Jeff Keppinger's two-out error in his first start of the season at first base. An error by pitcher Jose Quintana led to a five-run inning for the Mariners on Friday night, but Keppinger's mistake on Dustin Ackley's grounder proved to be a minor speed bump for the White Sox.
Third baseman Conor Gillaspie turned a slick double play to stop a Seattle threat in the fifth, then led off the bottom half with a drive over the head of Michael Morse in right for a triple. Alexei Ramirez grounded out for the first out, but Gimenez delivered a tying sacrifice fly.
Gillaspie went 2 for 3 and scored twice in his first start of the season. It also was his first game against Hernandez, who won the AL Cy Young Award in 2010.
"I was pretty nervous today, I'm not going to lie," Gillaspie said. "He threw a couple of balls over the plate and you can't miss pitches against a guy like that because you're probably going to get out if you do. I got a little bit lucky. I got a couple of pretty good pitches to hit and I didn't miss them."
Rios went deep in the sixth and De Aza tacked on a sacrifice fly in the seventh as Hernandez dropped to 1-5 with a 4.88 ERA in eight career road starts against the White Sox.
"I don't think he had his best stuff today," Wedge said. "He always competes, he always pitches. He didn't quite have the same fastball he typically has. It probably led to the secondary stuff."
Lost in the shuffle was the performance of Axelrod, who allowed an unearned run and three hits in 5 2-3 innings. Donnie Veal (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
NOTES: White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams turned 49 on Saturday. ... Keppinger went 0 for 4 and is 1 for 21 this season. ... Ackley is off to a similarly slow start for the Mariners. He went 0 for 3 and is stuck in a 1-for-19 rut.

My wife and I are excited because we are going back to Hawaii soon. We were married in Hawaii you see, or should I say we were mauwied in Maui four years ago. Going back will be like our second honeymoon and we are looking forward to it.
What will really be exciting is we will be flying in Hawaii. Yes, we have arranged to fly a Cessna similar to my own around the big island.
Once, while browsing through a bookstore, I came across a book with a very catchy title and beautiful book cover. That was enough to pique my interest, and then I recalled seeing an interview with author David Aikman about his newest book: Jesus in Beijing: How Christianity is transforming China and changing the global balance of power. David Aikman wrote from his experiences as Time Magazine's bureau chief in Beijing. The book reveals much about the history and dramatic rise of Christianity in modern China, even under extreme persecution.
Whether you are at home all day, as Jim and I now are, or are still a part of the working force; nothing is more satisfying or comforting than to sit down to a simple supper of a bowl of steaming hot soup (this includes chili) with muffins, cornbread or homemade bread.
It seems that since Jim retired last June we have been on a campaign to do all the things that we never had time or energy to get to before then. First it was to get the 5th wheel ready and up to Indiana, where we spent September and October. Once home it was time to begin holiday preparations.
What a roller coaster ride the weather has been lately!
Just a week ago we hit the teens one morning, and here we go back into the upper seventies again. Now, I am not complaining about the mild temps - I prefer them a gazillion to one over the cold.
These frigid blasts do play havoc, though, with inshore fishing, sending these sensitive seatrout into the area rivers and deep holes, far back into the creeks.
Just when Max was about dry from his bath, he had to go out to go potty. He only took ten minutes but in that time he covered himself in dirt and sand spurs. You can imagine what a Sheltie looks like with black dirt and sandspurs in his fur.
Not only does he get stickers in his fur regularly, he also gets his paws dirty, too, when he rakes dirt up with his front feet acting macho.
Then there's Molly. She gets ice cream on her chest when she eats ice cream. Such a messy dog, and her mane is nearly six inches long. She gets knots behind her ears, too.
Christmas and even New Year's is past for another year. We have all somehow survived one more year of trying some new recipes and making the traditional ones. It seemed like I would never be done; there was always one more recipe to prepare. But then, a few days before Christmas, everything was made and stored so that gift plates could be made and Jim and I would have goodies throughout the remainder of the season.
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires." (Ephesians 4:22 NIV)
This is the time of year when most make New Year's resolutions, but I'm not going to write about that. Most people don't keep them anyway.
Instead I will write about what to expect in the New Year:
Prices will continue to go up on just about everything that is of importance. Sooner or later, though, the ceiling will drop out of our economy because of inflation.

NEW YORK (AP) — Robust hiring in the U.S. is boosting the stock market in early trading.
The government says employers added 195,000 jobs in June. Economists had predicted a gain of 165,000. The unemployment rate remained at 7.6 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 76 points, or 0.5 percent, at 15,065 shortly after the market opened Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose nine points, also 0.5 percent, to 1,624.
The Nasdaq climbed 17 points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,461.
Other markets are showing big movements. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to a two-year high of 2.70 percent, up from 2.56 percent shortly before the jobs report came out. It was a sign that investors think the economy is improving.
The dollar rose and gold fell.

China is already the world's largest market for car sales. The popularity is apparent on the streets, where traffic can be atrocious.
More people live in China than any other country, and in 2010 it surpassed the United States as the largest car market on Earth. As the popularity of automobiles grows, China's infrastructure has struggled to keep pace.
The result is -- like anywhere else in the world -- traffic jams.
Yet traffic jams in China are not always brief hiccups during the evening commute. In fact, the worst jams in China, while rare, can last for days.

On the upside - I love the finished product! I bought the Blank Slate Basics Pristine Swing Dress from Melly Sews and really like how it came together - simple, simple, simple but with a lovely finish. It's definitely a pattern that I will pull out and use again.
It has a pieced yoke - hello pink!
I think I might put away kids clothing patterns for a while though - I've a few other project on my mind. How about you?

It's Time For the 5th Annual Victoria Symphony League Fashion Show
There is a fun event coming up that combines fashion, food, music, and fun to raise funds for the Victoria Symphony.
The Victoria Symphony League will host its fifth annual fall luncheon and fashion show Wednesday at the Spring Creek Place Event Center. Organizers said this year's James Bond theme will be a blast. Entertainer Chase Brown will transform from his Elvis persona to the infamous 007. "I can hardly wait to see what Chase comes up with," Cora Jo Hummel, the event chair, told the Victoria Advocate.
Models will showcase fashion from The Bridal Rail, Days Gone By, Foster Creek Station, Jade & Madalynn, Melvins Menswear, The Palm Tree and Rendezvous.
Members will also have a silent auction to raise money for the Victoria Symphony Orchestra.
The lunch will be prepared by league members. Victoria school district culinary students also will help with preparations.
Hummel credited Cheryl Guthrie and the steering committee for coming up with different and creative ideas each year. But some aspects stay consistent, including the perfect soundtrack. "We need to keep it lively, we need to have good music," said Hummel. In keeping with the James Bond theme, Barbara Smith was inspired to create a necklace similar to the one worn in the James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace." It will be auctioned. The character Agent Strawberry Fields wore a similar necklace in a party scene with Bond. Smith located green, quartz nuggets and semi-precious stones to replicate the stunning necklace. "It is my hope that this sparkling and uniquely-themed jewelry will generate a tidy amount for the League," Smith said in a statement.
Hummel said she doesn't wear a lot of jewelry but could see herself wearing the necklace. The event is "just a fun way to listen to music, see fashion, and relax," said Hummel. "You can't beat that kind of combination."
The event will be at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday (doors open at 10:30 a.m.) at Spring Creek Place Event Center, 12116 Nursery Drive in Victoria. Tickets are $40
For more information call the Symphony Office at 361-576-4500.

Court Records
Court of Common Pleas
Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Genealogy court records are housed at the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Courthouse. For many counties copies of court records may be found at the Pennsylvania State Archives and in the FamilySearch collection. Note that within these collections some films may contain the same records, but have different titles. Other titles are not duplicates. See Finding Court Records at other repositories within this section for links to the online catalogs for these two collections. Films at the Pennsylvania State Archives are not available for inter-library loan. If court records are available FamilySearch films may be available at a local Family History Center. Call ahead for availability.
Clerk of the Court
The Clerk of Courts prepares and maintains the records for the Criminal Division of the Court of Common Pleas. The Clerk signs and affixes the Seal of the Courts to all writs and processes, administers oaths and affirmations, and assumes custody of the seal and records of the Courts. The Clerk certifies and distributes orders of the Court. The Clerk also certifies and prepares bills of costs for the defendants and utilizes the computerized financial management system to disburse fines, costs and restitution.[3] For the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Clerk of Courts address see the Courthouse section on this page.
The office of the Prothonotary is the custodian of all civil matters in the county. This includes naturalization, immigration, equity actions, judgements, federal and local tax liens, city liens, family court, arbitrations, license suspension appeals, appeals to higher court, commercial code filings, applications for passports and divorce proceedings. See the Courthouse section on this page for the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Prothonotary office information.
Orphans' Court
See Vital Records
The Orphans' Court is responsible for a wide range of matters. The name of the Court is derived from the more general definition of "orphan," that being a person or thing that is without protective affiliation or sponsorship. This would include those not capable of handling their own affairs, minors, incapacitated persons, decedents estates, nonprofit corporations and trusts. It is the role of the Court to ensure that the best interests of the person or entity are not compromised.
It is believed the name of this court was borrowed from the Court of Orphans of the city of London, England which had the care and guardianship of children of deceased citizens, in their minority.[4]

Vital Records
Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level.

Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.

Undo/redo in Sublime Text normally only steps through actions that modify the buffer, skipping over those that simply modify the selection. Changes to the selection are still part of the undo history, and can be stepped through using Ctrl+U/Ctrl+Shift+U (softUndo/softRedo commands). These key bindings aren't displayed in the menu, and I'm wondering if anyone has discovered them on their own.
I rarely use them myself, but did today, so it got me wondering if anyone else does
I do use them from time to time but they don't seem to always work correctly (or maybe I don't understand it)They don't always record my mouse selections, but they do record each of my pageup/pagedown key presses, which is annoying.
I think it would be more useful to have a command to move the cursor back to the last modification area (and to have the ability to go forward/backward to the last/next modification area)
Amen to that

It is maddening to not be able to see what undo/redo are doing b/c page position / scroll is remembered, but apparently has since been updated. I think it's caused by undoing, scrolling (and clicking I think), then redo'ing. Now when you undo, it takes you to your scroll position, not the modify position and it is nearly impossible to figure out where the change is occurring...
Did not know it exist but I needed it more than once
Yeah I use them every now and then. Usually after editing with multi-selections.
Yes, they are super handy when you hit Cmd-D one time too many.

More sports brouhaha: ASBF takes back boxing ring
Local boxing coach, trainer and head of the American Samoa National Amateur Boxing Council (ASNABC), Henry Tavake, told Samoa News that Mapu Jamias took the boxing ring that he (Tavake) was using to train his fighters at the Department of Parks and Recreation compound, leaving him without a ring for his boxers.
"I came to the compound to train and saw that the ring was gone. I then found out who took it," said Tavake. "That's OK. I'm not going to cry over it. Me and my boys are still going to train no matter what. No one is going to stop me from training my guys," he said.
Jamias is President of the American Samoa Boxing Federation and Chairman of the Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) Youth Commission and will attend the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England from July 27 to August 12 as an International Technical Official in boxing.
Samoa News asked Jamias why he took the ring. He replied, "The ASBF is the only recognized boxing federation on island and the ring belongs to the ASABF."
"We have guys to train as well. We let them, the ASNABC, use the ring and it was abused. Our association had a meeting and we decided it was time to take the ring back," he said.
Jamias went on to say, "I have spent over $1,200 of my own money on that ring, just for the lumber to repair it. I am grateful for the Department of Parks and Recreation for allowing the ring to be at the compound for the kids to train, but at the same time it is limited there and the gate is locked up at a certain time. That is why we have the ring at our Vice President Nikolau Mageo's house in Iliili. It is a great location."
He continued (speaking of Tavake) " When they had the ring, they never thanked us one time for the use of it."
He added, "We have a lot of kids that want to train and I believe that the ring is not only at a better place, but a safer place as well, where it will not be abused."
Tavake and Jamias are no strangers to one another when it comes to boxing.
Tavake was Vice President of the ASBF for a short time in 2000, but before that time, in 1998, the ASNABC had been organized. It merged with ASBF in 2000. Then, late last year a group broke off from the ASBF to form the newly organized ASNABC with Tavake as president.
Shortly after forming late last year, the ASNABC then held an All Samoa Boxing Championship in October 2011 here in the territory as part of the Moso'oi Festival Week with 21 fighters from Upolu and Savai'i who attended as well as fighters from the ASNABC.
At that time, Jamias accused the ASNABC of illegal activities.
Tavake told Samoa News, "I have been training kids a long time in boxing. I am ahead of him on the game and always will be. That's alright though. If he wants it, let him have it. I'll get by. I have the best fighters around. I do this for the kids. I am not going to get upset over this. I am not only teaching my fighters to be tough in the ring, I am showing them how to be tough out of the ring and to handle situations like this in the right way, by setting a good example. We'll get by until we get another ring," said Tavake.
Currently, Tavake has a professional fighter named Alapati Aasa, who he coached in the amateur ranks for close to three years, making his move up to the professional ranks last month with a debut win during Samoa's 50th Independence Day Celebration.
Tavake also stated that he will be holding a professional bout here in the territory sometime in the near future.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's government has found an ally in its campaign to force its leading media opponent, Grupo Clarin, to comply with the nation's law against media monopolies.
Broadcast media regulator Martin Sabbattella said Wednesday that Clarin's minority partner in its Cablevision TV network wants the media company to sell off its controlling stake and thus comply with the law.
Sabbatella said a proposal from Fintech Advisory Inc., a New York-based investment fund that owns 40 percent of Cablevision, arrived at his offices Wednesday, ahead of a Friday deadline for media companies whose properties exceed the law's limits to present their divestment plans. Any company that doesn't comply will have its radio and television licenses auctioned off by the government, he said.
Fintech "wants to prevent the damage that could happen, so it's proposing that Clarin pull out of Cablevision, sell its 60 percent, and this way Cablevision can comply with the law," Sabbatella said, appearing jubilant at an impromptu news conference.
"This attitude is reasonable, responsible, because they want to be within the law," Sabbatella said. "Now of course they have to convince others inside the company of their point of view."
The cable TV network's profits have helped Grupo Clarin become one of the most powerful media companies in Latin America. Limiting that power is a primary goal of the government of President Cristina Fernandez, which is pushing the anti-monopoly law in the name of freedom of expression. Media groups, for their part, say Fernandez is out to destroy her opponents and control information in Argentina.
Clarin says it is challenging the law as a violation of property rights, among other problem, and has said that it won't present any divestment plan until the Supreme Court rules on its constitutionality.
Clarin spokesman Martin Etchevers said Clarin and Cablevision had no role in the Fintech presentation, and did not approve of it. Grupo Clarin is waiting for a ruling on the merits over the constitutionality, or an injunction delaying its enforcement, just like the Supreme Court ordered, Etchevers said.
