"Changing our lifestyles, including our diets, is going to be one of the crucial elements in cutting carbon emissions," says David Kennedy, the UK's chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change.
Apparently that includes giving up carbon-intensive food:
Government advisers are developing menus to combat climate change by cutting out "high carbon" food such as meat from sheep, whose burping poses a serious threat to the environment.
A government-sponsored study into greenhouse gases found that producing 2.2lb of lamb released the equivalent of 37lb of carbon dioxide.
The problem is because sheep burp so much methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Cows are only slightly better behaved. The production of 2.2lb of beef releases methane equivalent to 35lb of CO2 Tomatoes, most of which are grown in heated glasshouses, are the most "carbon-intensive" vegetable, each 2.2lb generating more than 20lb of CO2 Potatoes, in contrast, release only about 1lb of CO2 for each 2.2lb of food. The figures are similar for most other native fruit and vegetables.
Alcoholic drinks are another significant contributory factor, with the growing and processing of crops such as hops and malt into beer and whisky helping to generate 1.5% of the nation's greenhouse gases. "
Capping carbon dioxide is less about changing the environment and more about political elitists forcing people to change their behavior. If politicians are going to make businesses reduce carbon emissions through rationing, why not take it one socialist step further and ration carbon emissions per person. This way, politicians, actors and other elitists espousing the need for consumers to cut back on their lamb and beef consumption while they fly around in private jets and take a fleet of SUVs from one block to the next.
Global warming policy can sound pretty good one sound byte at a time for politicians trying to sell it as a costless way to save the environment. But as Americans learn more, they are buying it a lot less because they're beginning to understand that a cap-and-trade program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is nothing more than a regressive tax that will raise energy prices and cost Americans jobs – all for little, if any, environmental gain.
It is shaping up that if Congress passes any version of a global warming bill, just like the stimulus spending, it will come with large public dissent. According to a recent Rasmussen poll:
Just one-out-of-three voters (34%) now believe global warming is caused by human activity, the lowest finding yet in Rasmussen Reports national surveying. However, a plurality (48%) of the Political Class believes humans are to blame.
Forty-eight percent (48%) of all likely voters attribute climate change to long-term planetary trends, while seven percent (7%) blame some other reason. Eleven percent (11%) aren't sure.
These numbers reflect a reversal from a year ago when 47% blamed human activity while 34% said long-term planetary trends."
The public is holding up a stop sign but politicians appear eager to run through it without much thought or sincere consideration. For full analysis of the Waxman-Markey global warming legislation, visit The Heritage Foundation's Cap and Trade Rapid Response page here.

No more pretending in Afghanistan
The Daily Star, Friday September 21 2012
The British foreign secretary, William Hague, insisted on Tuesday that NATO's sudden decision to suspend joint patrols with Afghan forces will have a "minimal" impact on Western actions in Afghanistan. The decision, which followed the latest so-called "green on blue" shootings – where coalition troops have been killed by Afghan soldiers or policemen – has led to cries from all quarters that NATO's Afghan policy, or "strategy" as the British government has suddenly taken to calling it, is in tatters.
The strategy, such as it is, rests on building up the Afghan army to a force of 370,000 and training the raw recruits through joint patrols with coalition forces. The idea is for the Afghans to gradually take over responsibility for security when NATO's largely American and British combat force withdraws from the Afghan conflict in 2014.
Yet how can Western forces leave Afghanistan if the replacement forces cannot be trained to take over? The reality is that this week's announcement finally kills the notion that the withdrawal of Western troops in the next two years hinges on training Afghan forces so that they can adequately fill the security vacuum.
So for once Hague is right. The decision to suspend, or "scale down," joint patrols won't affect American or British strategy one jot. And the reason for this is that the only strategy Washington and London are firmly committed to is an exit strategy. They don't care what shape the Afghan army is in when they leave. Afghanistan will be left to the Afghans, whether their army is capable of policing the country or not.
Earlier this year a British official told me privately that the priority for Her Majesty's Government was simply to "get out before it gets worse and leave it to the Afghans." Now, by suspending joint patrols, NATO is effectively stating this publicly. And yet the United States and the United Kingdom have long been aware that the Afghan army is unequal to the task of taking responsibility for security, regardless of how many joint patrols they have organized with coalition troops.
In the limited number of operations they have led against the Taliban – which account for less than a third of all operations – the Afghans have been incapable of operating without the backup of NATO troops and air power. Speaking earlier this year, Lieutenant General Curtis Scaparrotti, an American and the second highest ranking soldier in Afghanistan from July 2011 until June 2012, conceded that only 1 percent of Afghan battalions could operate independently.
Short of an unlikely peace deal with the Taliban, the West will exit a country that is, at best, divided between the Taliban, local warlords and the moth-eaten administration of President Hamid Karzai in Kabul; or, at worst, in the throes of civil war. Poverty and death are rife in Afghanistan, and corruption within all branches of government flourishes. As in Iraq, the great beacon of democracy that the West promised would burn bright in Afghanistan will remain unlit as the U.S. and the U.K. scramble toward the exits in the darkness.
Tuesday's announcement will at least save the lives of some coalition soldiers. The facts speak for themselves. Fifty-one NATO troops have been killed by Afghan forces so far this year – 15 in August alone. Last year there were 35 deaths from green on blue attacks. Yet in 2008, there were just two deaths from insider attacks. Many in the military believe the recruitment drive is to blame for the recent sharp increase.
The desire to build up the Afghan army to a strength of 370,000 has been crucial to providing visible cover for the withdrawal of Western troops. In the last year Afghan national security forces have grown rapidly to around 350,000, from 280,000 a year earlier. However, military insiders believe the race to increase troop numbers before 2014 has led to a sharp decline in the vetting of volunteers. This has allowed so-called rogue elements to get into uniform and kill unsuspecting NATO soldiers. It has even been claimed that one of the gunman in the latest attacks is related to a senior Taliban leader.
In the light of the suspension of joint patrols, and the deaths that led to the decision, there will of course be arguments in the United Kingdom about the continued merit of deploying troops to a war the West is determined to abandon. You can see the critics' point.
NATO troops aren't safe from their comrades in arms, the men they are fighting alongside and whom the West is relying on to fight and contain the Taliban once coalition troops leave.
Whether you believe the Taliban are coordinating these insider attacks or accept the official military line that the killings stem from personal grievances among individual Afghan soldiers is irrelevant. NATO has blown the opportunity to make Afghanistan a better place. The West has lost. And when Western countries are not even pretending to train Afghan troops, is there really any point in hanging around until 2014?

Our crew
We make sure that holidays start from the first minutes onboard
Charter airlines are not exactly famous for great passenger service. After all, they sell their services on the lowest price to package holiday companies, and travelers have weaned off to expect anything but to be transported from point A to point B. It is different with Small Planet Airlines. We make sure holidays start onboard of our flights.

to keep your holiday spirit high
Every year hundreds of cabin crew members join Small Planet Airlines. By carefully selecting the right people for the job we look for courage, creativity, hospitability, friendliness, respect and tolerance – innate rather than phoney characteristics.
We create a friendly learning environment for each and every new team member because we believe it to be the best catalyst of gaining new skills and taking over the know-how. Experienced and knowledgeable professionals, who are able to adapt to the changes of nowadays and include new people in team activities, train our new cabin crew.
Experienced pilots responsibly
ensure flight safety
Professionalism, dependability, ability to communicate and a cold mind, as well as some good sense of humour, are the qualities that we expect from our pilots. Cockpit crew takes care that every flight is to proceed smoothly and safely. Our flights are performed by experienced pilots, some of which have as much as 40 years of flight experience. Two flight crew members have to be present at the cockpit at all times during the flight – this practice is applied since the company's inception.

This itinerary is also offered in reverse - check the schedule for details.
We want to ensure you experience the best diving available in Solomon Islands. As such, we customize our itinerary each week to ensure you experience the best visibility, water conditions, wildlife, dive sites and weather available. Below is a sample of what you might expect on this adventure. Specific dive sites are always chosen with conditions, visibility and guest safety in mind. If you have specific dive site/local requests - be sure to let us know and we will do our utmost to include them.
Air travelers can reach Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, via Fiji or Australia. Once we have your flight details, we will organize a pick up from the airport or the hotel of your choice.
As the sun sets, you'll board Taka to begin your epic diving adventure. Meet the crew, mingle with guests and settle into your cabin as you cruise northward overnight to the magnificent Russell Islands, the first stop on your dive odyssey.
We begin our diving at the Russell Islands, often starting at White Beach, home to a major American supply base during WWII. At the end of the war, an artificial reef was created by dumping trucks, jeeps, tractors, bulldozers and large amounts of ammunition.
From here we travel to two more dives with intense fishlife - Ta Island and Rainbow Reef. Check out the schools of baracudda, milkfish along with cruising reef tips and some of the largest elephant ear coral formations in the world!
If that isn't enough - you will also get to meet some of our local Solomon Islanders with a visit to Karamulon Village today!
It's a five dive day today with some of Solomons most iconic sites on our dive plan. Check out Mirror Pond and see if you can find the resident crocodile. Leru Cut offers one of the most amazing chasms in the Solomons and Bat Cave includes resident bats along with pygmy seahorses, orangutan crabs and lots of other macro life.
We head eastward again to Mary Island, properly known as Mborokua, notable for an underwater point that commonly hosts schools of barracuda and jacks. Explore the cuts and caverns behind Jack Point or the coral gardens right below the boat.
Conditions allowing, we open the dive deck so you can spend the day choosing your dives.
It's onward to Wickham Harbour for a wreck day! Explore WWII wrecks that have been seen by only a few divers since they went down in 1943. It's a live history lesson.
Image by Jack Connick.
Today we explore lower Marovo Lagoon with dives at Mbulo and Kitcha. Have you ever heard (and felt?) an active volcano exploding underwater? Today is your chance as nearby Kavachi is often working away to form new land.
Schooling sharks along with the healthiest coral we have ever seen!
It's an extremely special day as we visit Rendova Island, a remote island in the western province.
After two dives on the reef, you will head inland for a bushwalking adventure. This unique guided bush walk allows us to explore the flora and fauna as well as enjoy a kastom lunch on the beach.
Today you will transfer from Taka to Agnes Lodge and Dive Munda. You'll enjoy two morning dives while we take care of the logistics.
Spend the afternoon beachwalking and exploring the small town of Munda before dinner and one of the most fabulous sunsets in Solomon Islands.
Munda area is known for its sharks so today we will be exploring Shark Point where we see black tips, white tips, grey whalers and when we are lucky hammerheads!
Two morning dives and an afternoon at your leisure gives you plenty of time for a hike or to check out the local markets.
Just after sunset, take a walk on firefly beach and check out the mini lanterns lighting up the night.
One more day of diving, means even more new sites. Today is a good day to check out the Kashi Maru, a Japanese auxiliary mine-layer. This is usually followed by a dive at Alice in Wonderland, named for its amazing mushroom coral formations.
Tonight, enjoy sunset followed by a meal on the beautiful Valusa deck.
It's a dry day today ... before you fly out tomorrow.
We'll take a tour of Skull Island. An early custom in Solomon Islands was to place them upright after death and allow the insects to clean the bodies to the bone. Skulls were then separated from the body and placed in a shrine. This was a sign of great respect. Visit Skull Island to see the remnants of this past tradition.
We also have a tour organized to the Peter Joseph museum, where local islanded Barney Paulsen has one of the largest collections of WWII artifacts in Solomons including ammunition, hand grenades, helmets, along with many personal items. Nearly 38,000 soldiers will killed in Solomon Islands and this museum allows visitors to pay their respects.
Finally, we will enjoy our last evening sunset in Munda before our flight returns to Honiara in the morning.

It's a story about Jacob Jankowski, a young Polish man who accidentally runs away with the circus after a family tragedy. Stumbling into the world of train circuses he meets Marlena, a breathtaking creature who enchants and commands a dozen horses during the liberty act. Wave after wave of new experiences crash over Jacob, but one of the most powerful is when Rosie, a mischievous elephant, is added to the circus.
Gruen made the train circus real - the roustabouts, the kinkers, the cooch tent and patches - everything felt as if you'd walked straight into the Grand Spec. The backdrop of the 1920's is vibrant; speakeasies, jake leg and liquor raids all take their place among the bread lines and hobo jungles. Gruen artistically balances quiet romance with depressing realism and I can't get enough of it.

Fear and Love at the Design Museum
24 Nov 2016 - 23 Apr 2017|
The Design Museum|
The new Design Museum is about to reopen its doors. One of the opening exhibitions is Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World that presents eleven new installations by some of the most innovative and thought-provoking designers and architects working today, including Spanish Andrés Jaque and Ana López.
These newly commissioned works explore a spectrum of issues that define our time, including: networked sexuality, sentient robots, slow fashion and settled nomads. The exhibition asserts that design is deeply connected not just to commerce and culture but to urgent underlying issues – issues that inspire fear and love. This is a bold, multidisciplinary and global exhibition that aims to capture the mood of the present and establish the Design Museum as the home of design debate.
Architect Andrés Jaque, based in New York and Madrid, explores the way network culture is designing and defining new forms of behaviour and interaction. Focusing on dating apps, his audio-visual installation Intimate Strangers presents a series of tales about how our pursuit of sex and love through social media is changing the way we view the city, our bodies and our identity.

text: Greetings! I thought I'd start a fun thread here. :;dete You see, it is my belief that every man who's able to grow a beard should grow a beard of epic proportions at least once during their lifetime, simply for the experience of it! I'm at that point right now. :;santaclaus So here we go! This is about a week and half's growth - And here's about two weeks and half. It was at this point that the corners of my mustache started to ache and were severely annoying me. I almost gave up and shaved it off. I had to resort to using lotion to try and soften the hair and skin up. It worked... to an extent. The very temporary relief really didn't last long. - These are about three-four weeks. I noticed that the skin under the hair had become dry and were starting to flake, so I started to use my Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner in one on both my hair and my beard. This seemed to do the trick. - This is right now, about a month and half's growth, probably a bit more than that time, closer to two months. The corners of my mustache has stopped hurting and I've reached the point where I'm able to use a fine-tooth comb and actually comb my beard. :;juan It really does help get the tangles out! -

Trainer Tools and Resources
* The first thing they check is the values of the game to see if there are unexplained changes (such as spikes or drops such and such values). For example: + 999999 extra money.
* The second thing they check have trophies or awards. They check if the trophies are obtained in order and if they are attainable for a normal player at certain points of the game.
* The third thing they check is specific to cheathappens.com (I think). They analyze the online authentication trainer when you activate it. When you activate the trainer in online mode the software check to see if you are using your specific trainer. They check this trace, this link to detect you .
I hope this message will help cheathappens and their team. Besides, if Wizard, Caliber and 0x90 could take a look at this post I think will be good.

Warning: Keep Back…New Shelter Cove Signs Advise Beachgoers the Bluffs May Collapse
Two new signs in Shelter Cove remind beachgoers that the bluffs are unstable. Three large landslides temporarily closed the popular destination in May.
Recently, Shelter Cove Fire warned that, "concussing effect of the larger explosives used in the coming holiday, as well as the vehicles using the beach, and the attending activities therein, may well destabilize further the current, precarious situation."
Today, Shelter Cove Fire is further advising people coming for the traditional Fourth of July festivities "not to park up close to the bluffs." Cheryl Antony, their spokesperson warns that if the bluffs calve again, vehicles and people could be buried. The department asks people coming to enjoy the holiday to "keep eyes and ears open…Or watch the fireworks from the Lighthouse. "
Antony said that Shelter Cove Fire will have backup in case of problems. "We have been told that we will have Sheriffs Office units out here and Cal Fire," she explained. " And of course our firefighters are all on duty. Our goal is to keep everyone safe. And we want them all to have fun and be respectful of others."

In physical modeling, there are two types of models:
Behavioral — A model that is implemented based on its physical behavior, described by a system of mathematical equations. An example of a behavioral block implementation is the Variable Orifice block.
Composite — A model that is constructed out of other blocks, connected in a certain way. An example of a composite, or structural, block implementation is the 4-Way Directional Valve block (available with Simscape™ Fluids™ Isothermal block libraries), which is constructed based on four Variable Orifice blocks.
Simscape language lets you create new behavioral and composite models when your design requirements are not satisfied by the libraries of standard blocks provided with Simscape and its add-on products.
A prerequisite to creating components is having the appropriate domains for the component nodes. You can use Simscape Foundation domains or create your own, as described in How to Define a New Physical Domain.
To create a new custom component, define a component model class by writing a component file.
A component file must begin with the
component keyword,
followed by the component name, and be terminated by the
end keyword.
Component files may contain the following sections, appearing in any order:
Declaration — Contains all the member class
declarations for the component, such as parameters, variables, nodes,
inputs, and outputs. Each member class declaration is a separate declaration
block, which begins with the appropriate keyword (corresponding to
the member class) and is terminated by the
end keyword.
For more information, see the component-related sections in Declaring Domains and Components.
Branches — Establishes the relationship between the component variables and nodes. This relationship connects the Through and Across variables declared inside the component to the domain Through and Across variables For more information, see Define Relationship Between Component Variables and Nodes.
Setup — Prepares the component for simulation.
The body of the
setup function can contain assignment
if and
error statements,
and so on. The
setup function is executed once
for each component instance during model compilation. It takes no
arguments and returns no arguments. For more information, see Defining Component Setup.
Structure — Declares the component connections for composite models. For more information, see Specifying Component Connections.
Equation — Declares the component equations for behavioral models. These equations may be conditional, and are applied throughout the simulation. For more information, see Defining Component Equations.
Events — Manages the event updates. Event modeling lets you perform discrete changes on continuous variables. For more information, see Discrete Event Modeling.
Another type of a custom block is an environment block that acts as a source of domain-wide parameters. For example, you can create a Hydraulic Temperature block that supplies the temperature parameter to the rest of the model.
The Foundation hydraulic domain does not contain a temperature parameter. You would have to create a customized hydraulic domain where this parameter is declared. Components using your own customized hydraulic domain cannot be connected with the components using the Simscape Foundation hydraulic domain. Use your own customized domain definitions to build complete libraries of components to be connected to each other.
You create environment components similar to behavioral components,
by writing a component file that consists of the declaration, setup,
and equation sections. However, to indicate that this component supplies
the parameter value to the rest of the model, set the
Propagation attribute
of this component to
source. For more information,
see Working with Domain Parameters and Attribute Lists.
After you have created a textual component file, you can deploy it directly into a block diagram using the workflows described in Selecting Component File Directly from Block. You can control the block name and appearance by using optional comments in the component file. For more information, see Customizing the Block Name and Appearance.
Adding a custom block library involves creating new components that model the desired physical behavior and structure. It may involve creating a new physical domain if the Simscape Foundation domain definitions do not satisfy your modeling requirements.
After you have created the textual component files, convert them into a library of blocks using the procedure described in Building Custom Block Libraries. You can control the block names and appearance by using optional comments in the component file. For more information, see Customizing the Block Name and Appearance.

As Jonathan Long of Market Domination Media recently explained in the Huffington Post, whilst it's often the number one SEO aim of business owners to rank number one, this is a mistake because ranking number one doesn't denote "record breaking profits and ROI" and there are many other SEO metrics that should be used alongside rankings to create a well-rounded, profitable SEO campaign.
1. Keyword Rankings
Don't think for a second they're not important, though also recognize that there's more involved in the creation of a well-rounded, profitable SEO strategy than keyword rankings alone. Keyword rankings are, however, significant because they increase your website's visibility and that's obviously important.
2. Organic Traffic
A mistake many businesses have made is making quantity of links a high priority, which often results in penalizations by Google for having too many poor quality, spammy links. Driving and tracking organic traffic is far worthier of your time and attention; however, you need to not only track how much organic traffic your website is receiving but also which webpages are receiving that organic traffic. When you know which pages are receiving the bulk of your organic traffic you're in a better position to analyse it and gain an understanding of why it's there and make changes to other webpages accordingly.
3. Bounce Rates
If you're experiencing high bounce rates it's a tell-tale sign that your search engine optimization efforts aren't up to scratch because if they were, your bounce rates would be much lower. When your bounce rates are low it indicates that you're correctly and effectively optimizing webpages for keywords and subjects.
4. Conversion Rate
Conversion rates are similar in many regards to bounce rates because they serve as an indication of how well you've optimized your website and webpages for keywords and content. If your rankings and visitor rates are looking good but your conversion rate is lower than what you'd expect, it's a fair indication that you need to alter your keywords and content. Basically, when you optimize your website and webpages correctly you'll reach the people you're trying to reach and your conversion rates should rise in accordance with those figures.
Your conversion rates can be measured using two different measurements:
- One-per-click. This involves measuring a single action, for instance a visitor signing up for a subscription.
- Many-per-click. This measurement is more complicated and could be used to measure, for instance, the path a visitor took to purchase a product.
5. Online Revenue
Revenue and conversion rates are also linked and your revenue is a tell-tale sign of how well, or how poorly, your SEO efforts are doing.
Unfortunately there's no set-in-stone formula for businesses to use because every business is very different in this regard – different businesses have different profit margin to conversion ratios – though revenue is, according to Jonathan Long, "the ultimate metric of a search engine optimization campaign," and, "… if it isn't returning a profit then changes need to be made, and quickly.
6. New Visitor Growth
It's naturally important to track visitor rates though you should also be tracking new visitor rates so as to keep track of your most recent SEO efforts. If you keep track of all your visitor rates and don't distinguish them from new visitors to your site there's a very real chance of you failing to understand how well your latest SEO tactics are working.
7. Specific Search Engine Visits
In the US search engine traffic from the big players – Google, Yahoo and Bing – comprises 95 percent of all traffic; elsewhere however, with the exception of China and Russia, 80 percent of all traffic comes from Google alone.
So why bother measuring each search engine's traffic contribution?
- You can compare performance to market share ratios
- You'll better understand which tactics are working on which search engines
- You'll better understand where search traffic drops are coming from
Failing to take all these search engine optimization metrics into consideration when planning an SEO campaign is something you'll likely come to regret at a later point in time, so don't solely focus on rankings alone, understand that there's a bigger picture and make the effort to see it in its entirety.

From the age of four I attended Sunday School.
Build on the Rock, the Rock that ever stands,Oh, build on the Rock, and not upon the sands;You need not fear the storm, or the earthquake shock,You're safe for evermore if you build on the Rock.
How lucky was that?
It wasn't till later that I realised that it was all wrong. (see footnote).
So now you know.
Thank you for being kind enough to look at this work.
PS: dthaase is setting up a whimsical wednesday. I think it's worth a visit.

I'd love to hear what YOU do to live a happier, healthier, and longer life. Just leave your comments below.
I love your hub.Very good content happy people live longer.
I would like to invite you to read my hub when ever you can and I am looking towards looking out for any more of your hubs.
I think it is interesting that no men have commented on your hub yet. I guess statistics are right.
I would add, constantly researching health and longevity. New discoveries are made daily. Many people still do things that were believed to be healthy in the past that have been proven to be detrimental now.
Well I am definitely failing on no.24. But thanks for reminding me that exercise every day is important. I was running 10 miles per week up until 3 months ago, and then I decided to start a new internet project . . . Great information.
Great Hub Adriana. Simple things but people tend to forget these.I enjoyed the video too. It's very informative.
By the way, just want to add that I eat fish a lot, I use peanut oil(fights bad cholesterol) and avoid High Fructose corn syrup which is found in most food and drinks today. I've done a few research and feel that HFCS is bad for the body.
Great hub. It's an excellent reminder of where I need to focus: more nature, vacation, give up sugar, more water, more sleep more exercise...Maybe I should also acknowledge what I have acheived on your list--it's a longer list and feels better!!!
I'm taking a class that's quite demanding and, while it's a little stressful, my mind loves working on all the new information--so I heartily endorse your paragraph on exercising the brain. It feels good.
THumbs up!
Great, the simple directions always work the best huh, good job
I gave up eating meat. I don't know if that counts, LOL.
Good reminders, Adriana, of how simple it is to live a good life. Thanks.
Loved your hub and especially your video. Keep up the great work. We all need to be reminded to live a healthier life.
Another one is to live in the present moment as much as possible without reliving past pains or imagining worries for the future.

I don't think that I am alone in this. I think all of us, in some ways, have learned to hide our true selves to keep ourselves safe.
To a certain extent, this is an important defense mechanism. We should not bare our souls to just anyone; we must learn whom we can trust.
I believe, though, that in many cases this self-protection has gone too far. Too often, we hide who we are because we are afraid of what others will think-- because we are afraid of letting others know the truth. In my case, this usually takes the form of me acting as if I am some kind of superhuman who isn't affected by my circumstances. I act as if I'm not hurt when I am, I pretend I don't care when I do, I claim I don't need help when I really wish someone would lend me a hand.
I don't think that this dishonesty is always-- or even often-- intentional. I think that too often we are dishonest about who we are because we don't know who we truly are. Re-reading Psalm 139 recently, I was blown away by the verse, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." This may have been the first time that I realized that that verse applies to me-- I should praise God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Ephesians 2:10 tells us, "We are his workmanship"; I once saw the word "workmanship" here translated as "masterpiece." If we really believe these words, it will make a radical difference in the way we view ourselves and in our ability to open our lives up to other people.
In Much Madness is Divinest Sense, Kathleen Greider writes of "the cost to our souls of social emphases on competitiveness, extroversion, and intelligence, as compared to Christianity's gospel of grace, which asserts that our worth is a gift to us from our beginning." We have immeasurable value, no matter whether we fit into the mold we and society have set for ourselves. Hiding our true selves is a denial of this value.
This doesn't mean that I think we should ignore all of the negative things about ourselves. On the contrary, I think that is part of the problem. As James Bryan Smith says, "As long as we continue to try to think well of ourselves we will have to distort reality.... We will have to create a facade, participate in a charade, and avoid looking closely at our true selves." Part of our misrepresentation of ourselves is due to our unwillingness to look at our selves as we really are-- sinners, yet God's masterpieces, nevertheless. If we cannot admit our fallenness, we cannot accept the grace God gives.
I think that in order to be honest with each other, we must begin by being honest with God and with ourselves. Julian of Norwich wrote, "it is very greatly pleasing to him that a simple soul should come naked, openly and familiarly"; we must come to God as we are, not pretending to be someone else. One of my favorite written prayers is by Brennan Manning; he writes,
I pray as I write these words for the grace to be truly poor before you, to recognize and accept my weakness and humanness, to forgo the indecent luxury of self-hatred...to cling to my humanity, to accept the limitations and full responsibility of being a human being--really human and really poor in Christ our Lord.It is only once we have done this--accepted our weakness and humanity and admitted it to God and ourselves--that we can begin to be honest with anyone else.

10 Writerly Rules
|Busy Bee!
As writers, we are often asked questions like: What do you do all day? Just sit and write? Don't you get bored? Isn't it lonely? At first, I struggled to answer such questions in a coherent way so I began devising a set of rules (a bit like Gibbs' Rules on NCIS). The list is ever growing as I learn new things. I'm currently at Rule 67. Here are 10 of my more basic rules, in no particular order.
#1 Write every day, no matter what type of writing. Then, you get better at writing every day.
#2 Always carry a notebook and pen (preferably several pens).
#3 Make lists of your favourite words, books, places and things.
#4 Read! Read! And read more!
#5 Don't settle on just one style. Explore! Try new things.
#6 Only set yourself realistic targets. You can always do more.
#7 Go for walks. Dance round the living room in your pyjamas. Pull weeds. Do dishes. Write about it.
#8 Always carry a camera. Take pictures of things that inspire you. Write about it.
#9 Talk to like-minded people. It doesn't have to be about writing but it's useful if the other person can relate to your wacky ideas that unexpectedly pop into a conversation.
#10 Stomp out feelings of guilt, fear, frustration, brain-freeze. I have cards with their names on them and literally throw them on the floor and stomp away. It helps. Try it.
As many of you know, once the finished product is ready or almost ready, then there are a whole host of other rules to contemplate. Eeek! Like I said, writing is a process and that process takes a lot of time, patience, perseverance and a whole heap of gumption!
If you could share one writing rule with us, what would that be?

As you start to cross the $1,000 threshold you start to get a number of options for subwoofer performance and value. Subwoofers in the $1,000 – $5,000 price range will tend to give you larger woofers, better amplification, deeper and tighter bass, and include multiple input options (balanced and unbalanced), and get you to a real sweet spot between price and performance. Most subwoofers in this category will tend to be made locally in the home country of the manufacturer–USA, Canada, Great Britain, etc. Build quality, engineering, and materials are all top-notch including those models made overseas in China.
If you are serious about your audio and home theater performance and cannot afford the best of the best subwoofers that are out there (the over $5,000 category), then this is the ideal target range for your best bang for the buck.
Sure, you can spend more than $5,000 and go up yet another level in performance but if I had a choice, I'd prefer spending that extra money on better left and right front speakers.
These subs will finally start to do justice to the delicacies and weight that bass notes in music require in addition to the brute force and impact for LFE movie channels. For those fortunate enough to be shopping in this category and for those aspiring to own subs in this select group, here's my shortlist sorted by price from most to least expensive:
Best Subwoofers $5,000 and Under
|REL Gibraltar G-1 Subwoofer
REL Acoustics Gibraltar G-1 (MSRP $4,499)
For years, REL has been the go-to-brand of subwoofers for audiophiles. In fact, some audiophiles will go so far to tell you that REL subs are the most musical subs on the market. Nevertheless, as good as REL's reputation has been, some have shied away from using them for home theater or high-end multipurpose music and theater environments. REL's certainly changing that opinion with their Gibraltar subwoofers. Deliberately conjuring up images of the massive monolithic limestone rock, the Gibraltar G-1 doesn't' disappoint. It features a 12″ long-throw carbon-fiber driver driven by a conservatively-rated 600W amplifier that will play down to 15 Hz (-6db). And this isn't your run of the mill Class-D amplification. REL has chosen to go with a Class A/B amplifier to power the Gibraltar series. Offering all the musical magic REL has been known for while adding the bass extension to play the deepest organ notes and the slam to please home theater enthusiasts, the REL Gibraltar G1 should be at the top of anyone's list to audition.
|JL Fathom f113 Subwoofer
JL Fathom f113 (MSRP $4,300)
The Fathom line ushered in the age of JL Audio's domination of the subwoofer world. I've never seen so may high-end dealers drop other brands in favor of JL Audio subs. The Fathom f113 builds upon the legacy of the Fathom line. By being on this list, you know that this is one of my favorite subwoofers under $5,000. Its fit, finish and build quality are without equal and the Fathom f113's performance is also at the top of the charts. If you want to truly replicate the best movie theater experience in your home, then put in a pair of Fathom 113s and prepare to be blown away. The f113's 2,500W of raw power brings thunderous, brute-force performance. If you haven't heard this subwoofer, then you need to make an urgent appointment for an audition.
|MartinLogan Balanced Force 212 Subwoofer
MartinLogan Balanced Force 212 (MSRP $3,995)
MartinLogan has done it again. The Balanced Force 212 features two 12″ aluminum cone diaphragms driven by dual 850W amplifiers for a total of 3400W peaks. The oppositional 12″ diaphragms will play down to 18Hz +/- 3dB and cancel out distortion caused by cabinet vibrations. The optional MartinLogan Perfect Bass Kit (sold separately) is one of the true gems of the room correction world and will fine-tune the bass to your room. The one-two punch of the Balanced Force 212's incredible performance and Perfect Bass Kit integration makes this subwoofer an unbelievable performer worthy of inclusion in any discussion of best subs.
|JL Fathom f110 subwoofer
JL Fathom f110 (MSRP $2,600)
|Paradigm Sub 12 Subwoofer
Paradigm Sub 12 (MSRP 2,499)
If you're looking for something more modest than the Paradigm Sub 15's price tag and size but don't want to compromise an iota in performance or the deep octave reaches of the world's great organs, then the Paradigm Sub 12 may be your answer. The Sub 12 features a single high-excursion driver with a built-in Ultra-Class D amplifiers. Like it's larger sibling the Sub 15, this baby is all about performance and control. The power output of the Sub 12 is identical the Sub 15. The Ultra-Class D amplifiers are capable of producing a continuous 1,700W (from dual 850 watt amps) while thrusting out 3,400W peaks. Low frequency extension is rated to go down to an awesome 16Hz. The Sub 12 comes in a number of gorgeous wood finishes to fit into any decor. And, like it's larger sibling, the Sub 12, comes ready to work seamlessly with Paradigms optional Perfect Bass Kit (PBK). If you have a high-end two-channel system without room correction or with inferior room correction, the PBK will root out any room anomalies affecting the awesome potential of this sub in your room.
|SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer
SVS SB13-Ultra (MSRP $1,599)
The Rocky Balboa of the subwoofer world. The SB13-Ultra subwoofer has no right to sound as awesome as it does at its price point. If you think you need to spend thousands for dominant subwoofer performance, then the SB13-Ultra will disabuse you of that misperception. In fact, the SB13-Ultra will likely cure you permanently of the subwoofer upgrade itch. Without breaking a sweat, the SB13-Ultra will compete with and even beat out other subwoofers costing 2x – 3x its price. Build quality is exceptional. A 13-inch woofer and 3" voice coil are powered by a DSP-controlled 1000W Sledge STA-1000D amplifier that's capable of 3600W peaks. With a 45-day in-home, no risk trial, you can try out the SB-13 in your own setup. If you're looking for champion performer then you've found your sub. The SB13-Ultra is probably the best price/performance value in subwoofers, period. How much did I like the SB13-Ultra subwoofer? I purchased the demo pair after my review. I dare you to try them in your home for the risk-free 45 day trial. You won't send them back.

WALKER, LA (WAFB) - A man accused of attacking his pregnant wife and killing their unborn baby appeared in court for a hearing Thursday for the first time since the October incident. On his way into court, Jeffery Reynolds blamed synthetic marijuana for what happened.
Reynolds, 31, appeared in court with his hands and feet shackled and he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
As he was going into court he told reporters, "I love my wife and son with all my heart. I hope the state will enforce laws against synthetic drugs that has ruined my family."
During his court appearance, another motions hearing was scheduled on his bond revocations.
The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said Reynolds attacked his wife, Paula, 28, with a kitchen knife at their Walker, LA home on Oct. 23, 2012.
Investigators said he stabbed her in the abdomen and cut their baby out of her. She survived the attack.
A toxicology test was run on Reynolds, but at last report, the results had not been sent back to authorities.
Reynolds remains behind bars on $500,000 bond. He is charged with first-degree feticide and second-degree attempted murder.
Less than a week later, the Livingston Parish coroner reported the baby was accidentally cremated. The coroner said the Livingston Parish Government does not maintain a morgue and has always relied on a private sector funeral home for morgue services.
In a statement released by the coroner, a funeral home employee mistakenly removed and cremated the baby before an autopsy could be performed.
Livingston Parish District Attorney Scott Perrilloux reportedly said the cremation voids the possibility of upgrading the feticide count to one of murder.
Previously, Perrilloux said if evidence showed the unborn baby had begun to breathe before it was killed, that the feticide count may be upgraded to murder.
However, Perrilloux said he believes the current counts against the suspect in the case can still be prosecuted.

By Rick Reeno
HP Pavilion, San Jose, California - Former three division champion Robert Guerrero (30-1-1 18KOs), moving up by two weight divisions, won a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Selcuk Aydin (23-1, 17KOs) to capture the WBC interim-welterweight title. The scores were 117-111, 116-112 and 116-112
They started fast in the first round. Guerrero was looking to get respect early. Guerrero's defense was making Aydin miss, but Guerrero was not countering to make him pay. Aydin was walking Guerrero down but waiting too long to let loose with his shots. In close, Guerrero's shots were more accurate.
Midway through the fight, Guerrero was really letting his hands. Aydin was landing good punches, but not enough of them and Guerrero was answering back with multiple combinations to the head and body. Guerrero was tiring in the championship rounds and Aydin took full advantage with some very hard shots that shook Guerrero up, especially in the tenth round. Guerrero stood his ground for the most part and answered back at every turn with a higher workrate.

Juggling work and the daycare drop-off is tiring, and when I get home I'm less than inspired to cook. I have tried saving myself some hassle by ordering a vegetable box online, but was really disappointed with the first one I tried. Even though it's the middle of summer, I was given loads of potatoes, onions, and carrots, and only small amounts of interesting veg. (What do you do with eight mushrooms? EIGHT!)
Amongst my kilogram of potatoes was a single zucchini. What to do, what to do... fritters! But I couldn't face cooking the potatoes, mashing them, etc etc. And I vaguely recalled totally failing to make a swiss dish involving frying raw potatoes. So I figured someone else must have gone through this before. And someone had! So here's something loosely based on their ideas -- the main thing to mimic was thoroughly squeezing the liquid out of the potato (not so much the zucchini, surprisingly) before you start.
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 zucchini
- 4 spring onions
- 50-75g feta cheese
- 1-2 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- a handful of finely-chopped herbs, especially mint and parsley
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Grate the potatoes using a tower grater. Put in a colander or sieve and squeeze the liquid out: I find using my hands is the best way to do it. Shred the zucchini in the same way. Finely dice the spring onions and crumble the feta cheese. Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Fry dollops of the mixture in olive oil, pushing down with a spatula to make them no more than 1cm thick, so the potato cooks well; fry 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through.

Journey Into Mystery #626.1 is one of Marvel's more perplexing Point One issues. Not only is the series, in its present state, arguably too young to need a fresh jumping-on point, the issue isn't even written by regular writer Kieron Gllen. Nonetheless, guest writer Rob Rodi is able to fill in well for Gillen, proving he still has a knack for the trickster god.
This issue actually takes place before Gillen's Fear Itself arc, with Loki summoning a prophetic demon who shows him how the rest of Asgard is reacting to his recent resurrection. It's an elegant method of explaining Loki's status quo without boring seasoned readers or relying too heavily on exposition. Rodi's dialogue is crackling with purpose and romance, although it is a bit overly formal at times. Characters lie Volstagg lack the touch of humor that can be found in both Gillen and Matt Fraction's writing. At first Rodi also seems to lose sight of the uncertain quality Loki has picked up since his return, but luckily, by the end of the tale we see that less confident side of the character.
Pasqual Ferry makes a brief stop here before his impending return to Fraction's series. The setting and conflict are far more grounded than what we saw in "The World Eaters," but regardless of tone, Ferry's ethereal, fantastical pencils are an excellent fit for the franchise. His style is a bit looser and more scratchy than before. This wouldn't have been a problem, but there are several instances where a character rendering is reused and zoomed in upon, and in these cases the figures seem fuzzy and out of focus.
This one-shot doesn't quite capture the masterful blend of humor, high fantasy, and character drama that has defined Gillen's run, but it's a satisfying primer for Loki and an effective teaser for the challenges that lie ahead.

WHY DO MEN REJECT OR NOT UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH?ReplyDelete
What are the reasons men reject, abandon, or do not understand the truth concerning God, His terms for pardon, or His commandments for living the Christian lifestyle?
John 12:42 Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;
Are there men today who do not confess Jesus as the Christ because they fear being ostracized or banished by their secular friends, anti Christian groups, or other religions?
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.
Why will these men perish? 1. They were deceived by wickedness. 2. They did not love the truth. 3. They chose not to believe the truth. 4. They took pleasure in wickedness. NOTICE: God sent a deluding influence so they would believe what was false after they had rejected the truth.
Matthew 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.
Matthew 24:11 Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
Many are and will be mislead away from the truth about Jesus.
No man has to be mislead. It is a choice.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Men who sincerely seek God will not be mislead.
Roman 10:14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?
Men cannot believe the truth about Jesus unless they have heard the truth preached.
2 Peter 3:16-17 as also in his letters, speaking in them of things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their destruction. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall your own steadfastness,
The reasons some men do not understand some difficult passages of Scripture and teach error, are, that they are untaught, unstable, and unprincipled.
Acts 22:12-16.... Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name!
What would be the reason that men say, Saul had had his sins forgiven on the road to Damascus three days prior?
What would be the reason why that men would say, Saul had had his sin forgiven because of "faith only" the moment he believed three days ago on the road to Damascus?
Why would men deny that even though Saul was confronted by Jesus on the road to Damascus, and repented three day prior to arriving at Damascus, that Saul was still in his sins until he was baptized in water calling on the name of the Lord? (Acts 9:1-19, Acts 22:1-16, Acts 26:12-18)
Saul's sins were not washed away until he was baptized in water calling on the name of the Lord. Saul was not saved on the road to Damascus.

After a week of resting after the sweep of the Atlanta Hawks, my Cleveland Cavs finally figured who they'll be facing in the conference finals & nobody expected this opponent. They were the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference, but nobody gave them a shot to reach it this far because of youth & inexperience. However, that's why they play the games. Before we break down the East finals, who would had thought the Thunder would steal home court from the Warriors in game 1! That had definitely caught my attention & I had to start blogging about the East after the game ended. Let's break it down
Eastern Conference
1)Cleveland vs 2)Toronto- After another 8 day lay-off, the Cavs finally got an opponent to face other than themselves in practice. In the last sweep of the Hawks, they went 3 pt crazy, setting a record for most 3 pointers made in a 4 game series w/77. Kevin Love & Kyrie Irving were proving what could had been if they were both available for last yr.'s finals along w/ Lebron. For the Raptors, nobody including myself didn't think they would had beaten the Heat because of lack of playoff experience, their big man Valanciunas being injured (out for game 1, doubtful for game 2) & both Kyle Lowry & Demar DeRozan's shots weren't falling. But in the last 2 games, they sorta broke out their slump & Bismack Biyombo provided energy, spark, & toughness to set off the fact Valanciuanas wasn't playing. The Raptors went 2-1 on the Cavs in regular season w/ Lowry getting his career high in points on them w/ 51. However, the lights are brighter & the Cavs can see they are healthy & are 4 more wins away to making a return to the Finals & Lebron's 6th straight finals appearance. My dad thinks Cavs in 6, but I say in 5, even though everyone is thinking another sweep.
That's my time for this blog. Happy b-day shoutouts this week to Truly Odd, Karina Ousley, my girl Candis Madrigal, Mitchie Tista, Elaine Villa, Elaina Soto, Hector Ramirez, my WHS classmate Meranda De La O, Erica Calara, my cousin Ralph Jones, Bezalet Vasquez, my r&b chick Vanessa Loren, & my step sister Maya Grayson. Next time you'll see the blog, we'll be previewing the NBA Finals. Peace!!

Crescent Stars Return Back From United States TourNational Team • Author: Mehmet Pozam • Tuesday, June 1, 2010
The Turkish National Football Team have returned back from their two-week United States tour. Milli Takım players and technical staff arrived at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport on Tuesday morning. "Despite it being at the end of the season, the training camp was very fruitful. All the players showed admirable will," said TFF executive Levent Kızıl, responsible of national teams.
Turkey's Milli Takım have completed their two-week tour of the United States and have returned back to Istanbul. Crescent Stars players and the techical staff arrived at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport, Tuesday morning at 7 am. TFF executive Levent Kızıl, responsible of national teams spoke prior to the team's departure on Monday.
"Despite it being at the end of the season, the training camp was very fruitful. All the players showed admirable will," said Levent Kızıl. "It was also a very important occassion for Guus Hiddink to get to know the players and bond with the team. I believe that we will start seeing the fruits of this training camp in the EURO 2012 qualifying games that will begin in September," commented the TFF executive.
Head coach Guus Hiddink -who will officially take reins in August- is also reported to be pleased with Milli Takım's performance rate during the United States tour. There, the Crescent Stars played three exhibition games. Cruising through two wins against the Czech Republic and Northern Ireland last week and bowing out to two second-half goals from the US National Soccer Team on Saturday.
According to a report in Tuesday's edition of Milliyet, Emre Belözoğlu, Arda Turan, Volkan Demirel, and Sabri Sarıoğlu did not return with the Milli Takım and preferred to stay in the United States to begin their summer holidays. Turkey head coach Guus Hiddink, in the meantime, left seperately and went straight to the Netherlands.
Milliyet also reports that Guus Hiddink has prepared a flexible tactical system for the Milli Takım and will execute three different formations, 4-4-2 / 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3, according to the level of difficulty of each opponent in the EURO 2012 qualifiers. Turkey will be playing in Group A, against Germany, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
Head coach Guus Hiddink and assistant coach Oğuz Çetin are expected to travel to South Africa and watch the World Cup finals in place. Turkey's Milli Takım also have an upcoming international friendly against Romania in August.

text: Red loves lying between me and the laptop despite there only being a sliver of the dining table for him to lie on. However, this doesn't deter him, or stop him propping his long legs and big paws on the keyboard. Usually, he likes to lie on one of my arms but on this occasion I managed to untangle myself long enough to get a picture of his beloved spot. Notice how he follows the curve of the table without falling off which is pretty amazing, and a feat of balance probably only a cat could manage. My legs are actually beneath him, but out of shot.,so even if he did start slipping he wouldn't come to any harm.

Garberville is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California. It is located on the South Fork of the Eel River 52 miles (84 km) south-southeast of Eureka, at an elevation of 535 feet (163 m). The population was 2,403 at the 2000 census. It is approximately 200 miles (320 km) north of San Francisco, California, and within a fifteen-minute drive to Humboldt Redwoods State Park and a sixty-minute drive to Eureka, the county seat. The ZIP Code is 95542.
The first settlers arrived in 1853 to what was then named "Dogtown." The town was later self-named by its postmaster at the time, Jacob C. Garber. J.E. Wood laid out the town in 1862. The first post office in Garberville opened in 1874.
Garberville is the primary town in the area known as the Mateel Region, consisting of parts of the Mattole and Eel River watersheds in southern Humboldt and northern Mendocino counties.
Due to the distance of Garberville and other regional communities from their respective county seats of Eureka and Ukiah, there is a notable lack of mass transportation and other public services. A group of local residents once attempted to qualify a "Sequoia County" initiative to secede from both Humboldt and Mendocino with Garberville as the new county seat, although the campaign ended after they failed to gather enough signatures. Bioregional efforts continue with the recent formation of the Sequoia County Greens as a local Green Party chapter, which meets regularly in Garberville.
There was also once an attempt to incorporate Garberville as a city, which was thwarted when county supervisors declined to take the first step with the formation of a Municipal Advisory Committee due to concerns over the associated costs.
Garberville is home to both weekly newspapers in the Mateel Region, locally-owned The Independent and Redwood Times, run by Media News Group as a sister publication of the daily Times-Standard. The town also boasts the only movie house in the area, the Art-Deco-style single-screen Garberville Theatre. Garberville's town square hosts a Farmers' Market every Friday in summer and early fall. The Garberville Branch of the Humboldt County Public Library provides the only such service in the Mateel Region.
In the state legislature Garberville is located in the 2nd Senate District, represented by Democrat Pat Wiggins, and in the 1st Assembly District, represented by Democrat Patty Berg. Federally, Garberville is located in California's 1st congressional district.
Garberville is located at 40°06′01″N 123°47′42″W / 40.10028°N 123.795°W / 40.10028; -123.795. Its climate is characterized by cold, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The town is stretched out in a small forested valley along U.S. Route 101, at an elevation of 535 feet (163 m), although the nearby King's Peak rises to 4,087 feet (1,246 m). The ZIP Code is 95542. The community is inside area code 707.

Back in his home state, Jozy Altidore got back on the scoresheet for Toronto FC for the first time since the club's season opener.
Altidore, raised in Boca Raton, Florida, scored two second-half goals against Orlando City SC at the Citrus Bowl Sunday, leading TFC to a 2-0 win that snapped a four-game losing streak.
The U.S. men's national team forward, who scored two goals in TFC's a 3-1 triumph over the Vancouver Whitecaps on March 7, snapped a deadlock in the 50th minute. Off a quickly taken restart, Altidore worked a give-and-go with fellow Designated Player Sebastian Giovinco, weaved through three Orlando City defenders and hit a low shot that Orlando goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts got a hand on but couldn't prevent from going in the goal.
Altidore doubled his tally in the 83rd minute, putting the game on ice by taking down a long pass from Benoit Cheryou, dancing around and faking out Ricketts and center back Seb Hines and then having a somewhat fortuitous touch, as Hines's chance to clear bounced off Altidore's leg and into the vacated net.
Altidore's four goals are tied for second-most in the league. Columbus's Kei Kamara and Vancouver's Octavio Rivero each have five goals to lead MLS.
