Make it. Eat it. Love it.
Mmmm cinnamon rolls. Can't you smell them just by saying the words 'cinnamon rolls' and seeing this photo? I'm not sure about you but I wouldn't mind waking up every morning to a batch of warm cinnamon rolls with a sticky glaze dripping from it. Am I making you drool yet? My mouth is watering and as I sit here and type this I instantly regret giving them all away.
You could have a bowl of cereal with your cup of coffee but why would you when you could indulge in something a little more sinful?
Yes, it may be a bit higher in calories (ok maybe a lot higher) but, cinnamon rolls make mornings brighter, days less stressful and people a bit more joyful.They are just a magical little way to bring happiness to someone (or yourself). So why wouldn't you want to bake up a batch right now?
My husband and his MSIH classmates took there last final of the year before their 6 week summer vacation this past Thursday. A whole year of medical school done! I had to send them into their last exam with bellies full and a smile on their face. Maybe cinnamon rolls weren't the best idea since they just learned about diabetes, but they didn't seem to mind since they were all gone in sheer minutes.
These amazing little morssals of goodness can be baked up 2 different ways, side by side in a baking dish where they keep their beautiful shapes or in a cupcake tin where they puff up into their own little individual and unique shapes. I choose to do them both ways. I love love loved the way they looked out of the cupcake tins best. It's is all personal preference. I
I choose to bake these with cream instead of milk (I know Im naughty) to make them just divine and rich. They don't puff up as much as cinnamon rolls made with milk but its all good. I added orange zest to the batter to give it a little zing. And, well the cream cheese glaze on top is just, well…I mean its cream cheese glaze, enough said.
Ingredients (makes about 30)
For Dough
2 cups cream
6 tablespoons butter
7 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest
4 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
For Filling
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
6 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
For Glaze
6 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Make dough.
Combine cream and butter in glass measuring cup and microwave until butter melts and mixture is just warmed.
Pour into a large mixing bowl and add 2 cups of flour, sugar, egg, yeast, salt and orange zest.
Mix until combined, occasionally scrape down sides of bowl.
Add rest of flour and mix until until flour is absorbed and dough is sticky.
If dough is very sticky, add more flour by tablespoonfuls until dough begins to become smooth.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth.
Add more flour if sticky.
Form dough into ball and place in a large oiled mixing bowl.
Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours.
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
Punch down dough and turn out on a lightly floured surface.
Roll dough into a large rectangle.
Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Starting at the long end roll dough into a cylinder.
Cut dough into 30 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish or cupcake tin.
Cover baking dish or cupcake tim with a kitchen towel for 35 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F and bake cinnamon rolls until golden, about 15-18 minutes.
While rolls are baking, make glaze.
In a bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
While rolls are still warm top with glaze.
Serve warm or at room temperature. (best warm or piping hot out of the oven)
Oh I love this Beth! My kids would go crazy for sure. Using cream is probably the best option, and you are okay as long as you don't bake this every day or maybe every week. I rather want to eat the best cinnamon rolls even though I can't eat them so often. 🙂
Thanks Nami! Definitely cannot make these every day or week. My husband would kill me!!!
Oh dear, that is pure, unadulterated, delicous sin! To be eaten in private as so to enjoy the moment and not worry about getting the glaze all over your nose & chin! You don't know how much I want one of these right now!! 😀
Natalie, I agree, these are best eaten alone so you can stuff your face with a few without anyone judging you!!
as a kid, i never used to eat cinnamon rolls but now, i can't get enough of them. lol. there is something about cinnamon that just puts me ina good mood…hehe. your cinnamion rolls look fabulous! so cinnamony and creamy!
Cakewhiz, I never ate them as a child either. Never really cared much for them. Now I look back at my younger self and think "what the heck was I thinking?!"
Hi Beth
I came across your blog through another Israeli blogger and I think we may have some commonality in our interests and writing style. Currently, I am seeking to find sites that maybe interested to have a guest post written by me. I am sure you know, that guest posting is one of the way to introduce oneself to the blogging community and simultaneously the host gets to rest for a week. Please check my blog, where you can see the types of posts I have, but I am sure you know that if one is a good writer, he/she can report on many different topics with varied writing style.
Since you do not have a "contact page" I am writing to you in comments. Please check my blog, where you can see the types of posts I have, but I am sure you know that if one is a good writer, he/she can report on many different topics with varied writing style.
You may be interested to know that I have lived in Israel for quite a few years and my sister resides in Kiryat Motzkin forever. What this means is, that my cooking and baking style was influenced by that era.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Jayne Georgette

Ligi: Stable Europe with common values an achievement worth defending ({{commentsTotal}})
Speaking about the future of Europe with Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier at a meeting in Berlin on Thursday, Foreign Minister Jürgen Ligi (Reform) stressed the importance of unity and cooperation within the European Union.
Ligi said that the EU needed to be strong, united, and capable of development, a press release of the Estonian Foreign Ministry released on Thursday evening stated.
"A stable Europe with common values is a historic achievement that we must stand up for together," Ligi said.
Ligi expressed appreciation for Germany's efforts in the Normandy format and as chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in the attempt to end Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Ligi said that Estonia attached high value to good and intense relations with Germany, especially in matters of security and the economy.
"Germany's efforts are valued very highly in Estonia. Germany participates very actively in Baltic air policing, and will do so also in the composition of allied forces in our region in the future," Ligi said.
The ministers discussed the situation in Syria, the situation after the British referendum on leaving the EU, and preparations for the Estonian presidency of the EU next year.

The duo would identify themselves as reporters and show photographs of senior cops on their phones to prove they had friends in high places; 300 sex workers flocked to the station after the arrest to say that the accused had thrashed and robbed them as well
The Nagpada police have arrested two police informers for trying to extort the owner of a Kamathipura-based restaurant.
Following their arrest, several sex workers from the area rushed to the police station to add to the complaints against the accused, saying that they too had been at the receiving end of their extortion.
The arrests were made on the basis of a complaint lodged by hotel owner Chetan Pandurang Gauda at the Nagpada police station. The accused have been identified as Arman Iqbal Khan (33) and Sarfaraz Kamrul Haq Sheikh alias Guddu (32).
"We arrested Arman and Guddu under sections 385 (extortion), 504 (Insult), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (acts done by several persons) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). The accused claimed they are close to the police," said Sudhakar Kamble, assistant inspector of police (API) at Nagpada police station.
Modus operandi
Around 7 pm on Friday, Arman and Guddu met Gauda. Introducing themselves as journalist and police informer respectively, they demanded Rs 2,000 from him every month. They threatened that if Gauda failed to cough up the money, he would face problems, as his restaurant was illegal.
"They had earlier demanded a box of Kingfisher strong beer from me, which I had refused. Fed up with their demands and threats, I registered an FIR against them in Nagpada police station," said Gauda.
Getting wind that the duo had been arrested, more than 300 sex workers from the area rushed to Nagpada police station to add to the complaints. They alleged that the duo had thrashed and robbed them many times in the past, after coming to the area in police vans.
They alleged that the accused would come in police vans to their area and extort them, showing photographs of the Additional Commissioner of Police Krishna Prakash and Senior Inspector Nandkumar Gopale on their mobile phones, to establish their links to the police.
"I don't know Arman or Guddu. I never heard their names," said Gopale. Krishna Prakash was not available for comment.
Speaking to MiD DAY, more than 15 sex workers confirmed that the duo would come to Kamathipura in a police van belonging to the 'I' branch. They would often claim to be crime reporters. They had uploaded the symbol of the Maharashtra Police and the photographs onto their mobile phones, which they would use to inspire fear.
"If we refused, they would thrash us and forcibly snatch our earring and ornaments. On several occasions, they thrashed and looted us. We approached Nagpada police station but the cops there refused to register our complaint," they said, speaking in a chorus. The women identified themselves as Nisha, Saira, Meena, Parvati and Sunita.
Kamble admitted, "Some sex workers had come to the police station complaining against the accused. We said they should have come to us when the offence was committed against them," said Kamble.

Gambling is still considered by many to be a taboo topic – but it's a topic that should be talked about. Gamblers are often very interesting people and you will notice this as soon as you meet them, in most cases they will be very charismatic, energetic, and full of life (the good gamblers, anyway!). Of course this varies from person to person but you will find that these are common traits amongst successful gamblers.
Gambling as a career is something that many people are still uncertain about – is this really a career path that someone can go down? The short answer is, yes. With more and more events being monetized by the big corporations this gives the punters more opportunity and thus more people are becoming involved.
Throughout this article we'll be giving you a quick overview of online gambling as a career – how it compares to a standard job as well as the benefits that you'd witness by going online vs placing your bets in person.
How It Compares to a Standard Job
We all know that online gambling and having a standard job are two completely different things. Even though many people will look down at those of us who are gamblers, there are some people who make a lot of money through gambling and are considered "professionals". Whether you agree with this analogy or not is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is that being an online gambler is very different to working a standard job.
One of the major reasons why is because of the instability that a person must go through (which will be discussed more in detail below) in addition to sudden losses that could force the gambler to become homeless within just a few days.
The Benefits of Going Online
Many gamblers have now chosen to go online – and the numbers are increasing every day – the reasoning behind this is quite simple. By going online, the gamblers are essentially limiting the need to commute.
A gambler who bets on horse races for example, no longer needs to go to the tracks like he did 15 years ago – instead, he can simply go online and place his bet in a matter of moments. As you can see, this is very beneficial not just for saving time, but also for saving money. The fees for placing online bets and using online casinos is minimal and with the expenses saved it really is the best option.
A couple of the most popular games are bingo and poker. However the two are very different, poker has a definiate skill edge to it. If you know the odds and understand game theory it is possible you can make money over a long period of time. Bingo on the other hand does not have many skill advantages and is a game that should be played only for fun. There are so many new websites popping up everyday each with great offers its no wonder the games taken off in recent years.
Instability – the Major Disadvantage
Of course there are many disadvantages to being an online gambler – and as you might have guessed, these disadvantages revolve around stability. Even though gamblers can often make large amounts of money when they are winning, their losses can be twice and sometimes even three times as much as their wins.
So instead of having a regular paycheck coming in every month like the average person does, the online gambler isn't sure how much money he will make or lose in any given month. Not only does this cause problems financially, but also emotionally. Not knowing if you can make your rent payments, or afford your grocery bill, or your car insurance is definitely an emotional thing to go through.

From the colonies to the coast for Fairfield Glade Ladies Club
For The Vista
Stumped on what to get that special someone in your life? The Travel Committee of the Fairfield Glade Ladies Club has the perfect answer … the gift of travel!
Join them on a delightful eight-day excursion aptly titled 'From the Colonies to the Coast.'
The first stop is in Charlottesville, Virginia, frequently referred to as the City of Three Presidents.'
Next is a visit to Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, and lunch at the famous Michie Tavern before going to Ash Lawn-Highland (home of our 5th President, James Monroe).
What could be better than three nights in Colonial Williamsburg? You will 'sup' in an 18th century atmosphere at the 'King's Arms Tavern' and have a full day to enjoy all that Colonial Williamsburg offers. A visit to Jamestown Settlement and the Yorktown Victory Center completes your visit to the 'Historic Triangle' representing over 400 years of American history.
The Club promised you the coast and Norfolk is next — experience the life of a sailor during a tour of the world's largest naval station. Naval Station Norfolk, homeport to more than 100 ships of our Atlantic Fleet, will stir your patriotic genes.
Board the Battleship Wisconsin and experience the majestic ship which earned five battle stars during World War II.
Your next journey will be to the slender necklace of barrier islands — the Outer Banks of North Carolina — which look much as they did when Blackbeard the Pirate trolled their waters. The three story sand dunes are what attracted the Wright Brothers to the Outer Banks in their pursuit of 'manned flight' in Kill Devil Hills. The first of their two nights here will find them at a South Seas Luau Buffet.
Visits and tours of Roanoke Island, the Elizabethan Gardens and Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Lighthouse will make this area one to be remembered for both beauty and history.
Heading westward into North Carolina's Piedmont region, the next stop is the Research Triangle — the cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. A must see is the Moravian city of Winston-Salem. On the agenda is a stop in Salem at the 'Old Salem Museum and Gardens'.
This living history museum will introduce all to a late 18th and early 19th century Moravian community.
If all this sounds like something you would like to do, visit the FGLC Website (ffgladiesclub.org).
Click on TRAVEL and download a brochure for more details of this fabulous trip. You need not be a member of the club to participate in this tour.
All trips planned and escorted by the Ladies Club are professionally done, at cost, plus two percent travel equity for the Ladies Club Scholarship Fund. Cost for this eight-day journey is $1060, double occupancy.
The group defies you to duplicate an eight day trip which includes deluxe motor coach transportation, seven nights lodging, luggage handling, 13 meals, all admissions and attractions, gratuities for driver, and local guides for $132 per day.

This version replaces the previous one/s. Type: Conclusion on Pesticides Read it on the Wiley Online Library: Article | PDF Abstract: The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State Italy and co-rapporteur Member State Slovenia for the pesticide active substance isoxaflutole and the assessment of the MRL application to set an import tolerance in soya bean grown in USA are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of isoxaflutole as a herbicide on maize and sweet corn.

Finding and Looking After the City of Toronto's Treasures
Images shown above illustrate three artifacts acquired and/or conserved, recently, with the help of the Acquisitions Fund (from left to right):
(1) A portrait of Henry Evatt, c. 1840, required extensive conservation before it is displayed in the Officers' Mess Establishment dining room. (See 'Henry Evatt, Barrack Master at Toronto, 1835-1841' in The Fife and Drum, July 2012, p. 9. The story of his portrait's conservation treatment, paid for by the Acquisitions Fund, is told by Chief Curator Wayne Reeves in the most recent Fife and Drum: December 2016, p. 11);
(2) A rare British Army copper cauldron, c. 1855;
(3) A portrait of Corporal Tom Lorie and his sweetheart, c. 1802-12
Over the years, items of historical interest vital to Fort York's story have come up for auction, usually in Canada or the United Kingdom. By and large, the City of Toronto has not been in a position to bid for items since at least the early 1990s, when acquisition budgets were severely restricted. The City has little financial capacity when items of interest relevant to telling Fort York's stories are offered for sale. We must depend on the kindness of friends and strangers coming to the rescue to acquire these items on our behalf.
Now, friends and strangers have a more sustainable way of supporting this work, through donations to the Fort York Acquisitions Fund. This designated fund supports both acquisitions and conservation of artifacts for exhibit at Fort York National Historic Site. Chief Curator Wayne Reeves expresses the delight of City of Toronto Museum and Heritage Services when he says:
The Fort York Acquisitions Fund will serve a vital need for Fort York. Not only will it allow staff to be nimble in bidding at auctions for artifacts deemed important to telling Fort York's story, it will also support their conservation, when needed, allowing them to be exhibited.
Please consider helping us by your donation to the Fort York Acquisitions Fund : DONATE

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
Song of Solomon 8:4
Situation #1
I know a couple who dated quite a few years. She was a virgin when they married. They have been married several years but now she wonders "what if" I would have dated more than one person. What if I would have traveled like I wanted? What if I would have followed my past dreams ? Would I have married him? I am bored, depressed, sick and tired of arguing about being bored.
Situation #2
I told you all about my virginity being stripped away from me. I have 'wondered' if I would have waited till marriage to have sex. I'd like to think I would because sex was really the furthest thing from my mind all the way through high school. (OK, except the thought that went through my mind when I had my first French kiss. In my mind I asked, "If I have this much energy from a kiss, what kind of energy would sex give me?")
You likely know of several other examples from family, friends, or your own story. Here is what I want to get across. God commanded that we not fornicate (sex without marriage/as singles) or commit adultery (sex outside of marriage). Since he said it, it is for our own good. He isn't trying to stifle our 'fun.' He does want to save us the heartache that comes with premarital or extra-marital relations.
Let's start this New Year out with pure hearts, minds, actions and goals. Some of mine are to be more like Christ and to do what he has called me to do in word and deed. I will be quicker to obey Him and follow after Him harder. What about you? Don't fool me now. Write out your goals and dreams and make sure they are what He desires for you and go hard after them.
Till we meet again,

Having the kids along was more relaxing for us as a couple, actually. I did not have to leave copious notes behind with sitters and I did not have to worry about the kids….because they were with US, after all! Seeing places through their eyes also made our trips more enriching. For example, watching our youngest son's eyes light up when he rode a subway for the first time made it even more fun for us again.
Mealtimes were more fun because we got to order a variety of dishes and eat them "family style". Going into dungeons, torture museums, optical illusion museums and Ghosts and Ghouls tours made us feel young again. And best of all—-body surfing in the ocean waves made beach time an energetic activity! Kids bring the WONDER into traveling this wonderful world.

Culture in Global Affairs Seminar Series
Women, Development, and Mental Health in Tanzania: Preliminary Findings from Three Regions
May 14, 2014
Neely Myers, Research Professor of Anthropology; Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, GW
This presentation offered preliminary findings from data collected in summer 2013, supported by the Global Gender Program and the Culture in Global Affairs Program in partnership with World Vision Tanzania. Myers conducted interviews with women in three regions of Tanzania (Arusha, Kilimanjaro, and Singida) about their perceptions of well-being. The regions include places where World Vision had worked in the past, where they were setting up a new program, and where they had been offering development initiatives plan for a few years. The research sought to learn about women's perceptions of challenges in their lives, in their own words. This exploratory study indicates that learning about women's perceptions of well-being and mental health is itself challenging.

Stopping Violence Against Women: Women's Rights as Human Rights
April 17, 2014
Alison Brysk, Fellow, Global Women's Leadership Initiative, Wilson Center; Mellichamp Chair in Global Governance, Professor, University of California Santa Barbara
Violence against women kills and maims more people than any war, and is estimated to affect one out of three women worldwide—yet it has only recently been recognized as a human rights problem. What can the framework adopted since the 1993 Vienna Conference, "women's rights are human rights," teach us about how to mobilize to stop violence against women? A generation of research on the politics of human rights campaigns suggest the importance of transnational action, framing, information politics, and the specific challenges of "private wrongs" committed by non-state actors. This talk surveyed a global panorama of campaigns, with a focus on sexual violence in India.

Why the World Bank Should Take a Human Rights Approach to Hydrodevelopment
October 23, 2013
Environmental anthropologist Barbara Rose Johnston, senior research fellow at the Center for Political Ecology detailed how the Chixoy Dam project is an example of hydroelectric energy development that entails extremely high costs to land, lives, and livelihood, and in violation of national and international human rights laws. While huge profits were achieved, more than 3,500 Maya community members were displaced and remaining families in the Chizoy River Basin live in poverty due to the dam. Johnston reported that all of the actors in charge, including international lenders, were aware of the violence involved in displacing the Maya, including massacres perpetrated on them in the 1970s.

Freedom in Entangled Worlds: West Papua and the Architecture of Global Power
April 12, 2012
Eben Kirksey, Mellon Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor, City University of New York Graduate Center
Eben Kirksey first went to West Papua in 1998 as an exchange student. During his later study of West Papua's resistance to Indonesian occupiers and the forces of globalization, he discovered that collaboration, rather than resistance, was the primary strategy of this dynamic social movement. The revolutionaries have a knack for getting inside institutions of power and building coalitions with unlikely allies, including many Indonesians.

Since the 1983 discovery of plundered imperial tombs in Dulan in the western Kokonor Region of the Tibetan plateau, thousands of tombs dated to the period of the Tibetan Empire (7-9th centuries) have been discovered in the area. A great number of tomb relics such as gold, silver and silk artifacts and Tibetan inscriptions on stone tablets and wood slats are now circulating in public museums and private collections in Europe, North America, Japan and China as well as in antique markets in Hong Kong, Beijing, Lanzhou and elsewhere.

Dr. Reena Patel, Ph.D. in Geography, University of Texas at Austin
Drawing on her newly released book, Working the Night Shift: Women in India's Call Center Industry (Stanford University Press, 2010), Reena Patel spoke about how call center employment in Mumbai affects the lives of women workers, specifically the anxiety of Indian families related to social concerns about women going out at night, earning a good salary, and being exposed to western culture. From remarks such as "call center job equals call girl job!" to worry about how night shift employment will affect a young woman's worth in the arranged marriage market, Patel explored the ironic and, at times, unsettling experiences of women who enter the spaces and places made accessible to them through call center work.

Conflicts in Israeli Feminism and the Question of Palestine
February 24, 2010
Dr. Smadar Lavie, Associate Professor of Studies in Women and Gender, University of Virginia
Professor Lavie explored the conflicts inside the Israeli feminist movements. What is largely known outside Israel, and in English, as "Israeli feminism" is the feminism of the minority European-Jewish elite. It bears little or no appeal to the grassroots — the Mizrahi ("eastern," Hebrew) majority of Israeli women, who are of Middle Eastern origins. Most Mizrahi vote for right-wing parties partially because left-wing parties are associated with the Ashkenazi elite. The deep commitment of the general Mizrahi population to Zionist ideology places Mizrahi feminists, critical of Ashkenazi Zionism, in a predicament.

I plan to cover all of South India and then plan for North India. Some collection would be great. The best way would be to start a thread and ask folks to provide links to their travelogues anywhere on the net. We can use that as a repository and as more and more folks provide inputs we will have a big list of links telling us about all places folks have visited.

South Middle holds road race to raise money for scholarships
March 16, 2014 by Sarah
The second annual 5K road race, which will raise money for $1,000 scholarships to be awarded to two seniors graduating from Braintree High School, is being held by the South Middle School.
Most likely the South Middle School Student Council and their teacher advisor, Matthew Freeman, are using flyer printing and poster printing to attract as many runners as possible to the race. Last year, there were close to 110 participants.
The race is open to both runners and walkers, who do not need to live in Braintree or be a family of the South Middle School. Registration can be done online and those that do so before March 17 receive a free long sleeve race shirt. Walk-in registration can also be completed as late as the morning of the race.
The race course begins and ends at South Middle School and makes a loop through South Braintree. Fresh fruit and bagels will be available to all participants in the race, with a DJ to supply music all morning. An award ceremony will be held in the outside lobby area in front of the Middle School after the race.
The categories will be for the fastest male and female runner in age categories starting at 10 and under and going up to over 70 years old.
The race is planned for 9:00 am on March 29.

Let's revisit one of the most important storylines of the 2012 season: Stephen Strasburg's innings limit, which might or might not exist at around 160 to 180 innings.
Strasburg, who starts Wednesday night for the Nationals against Tampa Bay, has pitched 77 innings in 13 starts. While he has dominated -- his strikeout rate of 32.9 percent (11.9 K's per nine innings) leads all major league starters -- the Nationals have carefully handled his workload, as he's averaged just less than six innings per start. His average of 93.9 pitches per start ranks 100 out of 130 pitchers who have started at least 10 games.
The pitchers who have averaged the most pitches per start so far are, not surprisingly, veterans and aces: Justin Verlander (112), CC Sabathia (112), James Shields (110), David Price (109) and Matt Cain (108).
But you expect those guys to carry a heavier workload; they're not 23 years old and they're not coming off Tommy John surgery. Another way to examine how cautious the Nats have been with Strasburg is to compare his workload to those of other recent 23-year-olds. The following chart lists the 10 23-year-olds who averaged the most pitches per start since 2000 (minimum 20 starts) plus some others I wanted to include.
As you can see, there have been big changes in how young pitchers have been handled over the past decade. Four of the top five pitchers on the list came in 2000. Even when Felix Hernandez averaged 107 pitches per start in 2009, he topped 120 just once. Clayton Kershaw was 23 last season when he won the Cy Young Award, and he topped 120 just twice. Strasburg did throw 119 pitches in his June 8 start at Boston in which he struck out 13 in six innings (he threw 13 pitches to the final two batters he faced to escape a bases-loaded jam), but that's been his only start of more than 110, and he topped 100 just three other times.
In fact, that Boston start might be an example of why it could be difficult to keep Strasburg on such a tight limit. There might be occasions when Davey Johnson needs a few extra pitches or a couple of extra outs from his best pitcher.
From 2007 to 2011, for example, there were 52 seasons in which a starting pitcher had an ERA of 3.00 or better (minimum 162 innings). Forty-one of those pitchers averaged at least 100 pitches per start. Only two averaged 95 or fewer -- Chris Carpenter in 2009 (95.4, actually) and Jaime Garcia in 2010 (93.2). Carpenter, as you might remember, was coming off two seasons of injuries, and Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan handled him very carefully.
But if we're looking for some sort of guidebook the Nationals are following, Garcia is a pretty close match. Garcia, like Strasburg, was 23 years old. He was a rookie but coming off Tommy John surgery in 2008. Garcia made 28 starts that year and threw 163.1 innings. The Cards shut Garcia down after a Sept. 13 start, with 20 games left in the season. By then they were 7 games behind the Reds and 7.5 out of the wild card, so it was a pretty easy decision to shut him down. Garcia had just seven starts in which he threw 100 pitches and topped out at 111.
The difference, of course, is the Cardinals were out of the race. The Nationals are likely to still be in it. If Strasburg pitches the whole season and makes 31 starts at six innings per start while averaging 94 pitches, you end up with 186 innings and 2,914 pitches. Compared to others on the list, that's still a pretty conservative workload (and, in fact, it matches up quite nicely with Verlander's rookie season, in which he pitched 186 innings and threw 2,968 pitches).
The Tigers, by the way, made the playoffs that year. Verlander made four more starts in the postseason, throwing an additional 21.2 innings and 406 pitches. He was gassed by season's end and allowed 17 runs in those 21.2 innings.
It still seems the best-case scenario for the Nationals would be to find a way to have Strasburg skip a few starts. Maybe you skip his final start before the All-Star break and pitch him fourth or fifth in the rotation coming out of the break. Maybe you give him a couple of extra days off between starts in late August or early September. If you keep him to the Garcia workload -- 28 starts, 165 innings or so -- it's also more likely he'll have his dominant stuff ready for the playoffs.
Because if the Nationals do make the postseason, he has to pitch.

This past week I was in the midst of compiling a playlist for a friend's birthday and found myself tasked with the problem of re-interpreting the meaning of 'punk' using contemporary electronic music. The knee-jerk response would be to gather a bunch of insane dubstep trills with the loudest mix possible to annoy the shit out of your neighbors but I wanted to dig deeper than that. Punk, to me, is not only a celebration of loud sounds (which it is) but making the listener uncomfortable and question the norm; its subversive of both society and medium. So this week we'll focus our attention on some tracks that embody the new punk aesthetic.
Mysterious OWSLA-signed trio Phuture Doom that seemed to come out of nowhere in 2013 with torrent-encoded messages and mysterious glitched out video teasers that had low-key satanic vibes. They have since seemed to have disappeared off the face of the planet but not before leaving a head-banging thrasher of a debut album. "Black Acid Reign" starts off with an apocalyptic speed metal intro that gets pummeled with an aggressive acid drop. The clash of shredding guitars and biting synthesizers constantly battle for dominance in a clash of epic proportions. Phuture Doom was one of the groups that at first terrified me but I grew to love, at the time no one was making music like this (and no one still is to be honest).
Speaking of speed metal, Oneohtrix Point Never's latest album, Garden of Delete, has easily become one of the most celebrated electronic records of 2015. It was Oneohtrix's strongest release to date, albeit one of his more left-field creations. The album in its entirety covers a large swath of aural landscapes interspersed with vignettes that bridge the gap between songs that make the whole work flow seamlessly. The lead track "Ezra" is a frenetic chopping of vocal samples into a feverish melody that trips over itself until it becomes growling dog noises over speed metal drums. It took several listens before I was able to make out the structure of the songs on the album; the standard verse, chorus, melody, breakdown are all in there but presented in such a manner that you need to re-learn how to listen to a song before you can pick them out.
I have extolled the virtues of REZZ countless times before in this very column. She is one of the freshest faces in techno with a sound inspired by industrial rock and hard-hitting progressive-electro from 2010. Her debut EP, The Silence is Deafening, has her refining this sound into a finely tuned weapon. One of the strongest cuts "Edge" juxtaposes winding guitar plucks with a speaker-breaking drop. The feedback-like trill has the same massive effect as Skrillex's bass screams did in 2011 but in a way that carry's the gravitas of a tuxedo clad Gesaffelstein smoking a cigarette on stage. REZZ is injecting new life into one of the longest standing genres in dance music in an era where it feels like things are more and more of the same.
Lil Data is yet another faceless figure to come out of the PC Music camp but one with a less traditional approach to music making than the rest of the roster. Not much is known about him/her/they outside of their releases on the UK based label. The Sup EP was the closest PC Music has come to ambient with syncopated rhythms and obscure motifs buried in micromelodies. Their latest release on Spinee's Apocalypse Survival Kit runs the gambit between broken minimal beats to a bouncy 4/4 bridge with a catchy vocal hook of "so, you sold your soul to satan". The whole thing collapses in on itself in spectacular fashion and tries to regain composure for the rest of the song but gets torn between too many different ideas, as if the track itself can't figure out where it wants to go. "Financial Crisis" is weirdly alluring and demonstrates the extremes you can take the PC Music movement to if you distort and contort convention to your will.

The ISP allegedly offered a subscription service to more than 100 international TV channels, including those for the top English football league, to hotels, bars and individuals, and via its website.
The ISP was situated in a shopping centre in Malaga.
Two English citizens managed the ISP from the UK and controlled the activities of their employees through a video recording system.
The representative of the Premier League informed Spanish police that the ISP had been participating in illegal activity. The representative handed over a decoder and a premium subscription, which had been purchased for €450, as evidence.

(Student Guide to World Philosophy)
In her first chapter, "Luck and Ethics," Martha Nussbaum puts the reader on notice that her methodology in studying Greek ethical thought differs from the methods of other modern philosophers. She aligns herself with Aristotle's methodology of reflecting on the views of "the many and the wise." The writings that she subjects to scrutiny include some literature often not thought applicable to philosophic inquiry; in Nussbaum's opinion, it offers breadth to her exploration. Nussbaum also says in this chapter that she intends to study the ancient tragic writers as Plato studied them, that is, by studying their content and style as revealing their concept of human excellence.
Nussbaum favors the insights of tragic works because they explore such themes as human goodness and external circumstances. Tragic works focus particularly on the vulnerability of human lives to fortune, the mutability of circumstances, and the existence of conflicts among commitments. Tragedies also present alternative conceptions and evolving complex patterns of deliberation. Unlike practical experience, tragedies and literature in general present carefully thought out themes and situations designed to present those themes. There is, however, continuity between tragic and poetic works and Greek philosophical writings. Plato's philosophical search for a self-sufficient good life is motivated, Nussbaum says, by many of the same concerns seen in tragic works. She argues that in dialogues such as Prtagoras (c. 399-390 b.c.e.; Protagoras, 1804) and Symposion (c. 388-368 b.c.e.; Symposium, 1701), Plato examines self-sufficiency, human ambition, and contingency. In this first chapter, Nussbaum prepares the reader for the rich tapestry of voices offered in The Fragility of Goodness.
Although the themes of this work are developed in chapters that could be read as separate and complete essays sharing common concerns, Nussbaum often poses questions in one chapter and replies to these questions in another chapter. In different chapters, she also finds separate answers to the overall, formidable question of this book: how the effects of chance and luck influence the goodness of humankind. Each literary work is examined for its philosophical import and its ways of transmitting its meaning. Throughout her work, Nussbaum supplies the relevant history of ideas, philosophical traditions, and literary devices. She takes care to examine works in their context to show how the ancient Greeks would have seen these issues.

SEO Results – Guaranteed
From time to time I like to touch on subjects that are not directly related to freelance writing. Although I spend a large portion of my day writing for clients, I also have my own projects, such as this blog, that take up a lot of time.
As you probably know, if you want your website or blog to succeed and generate income you need to rank high for key terms related to your topic. For example, Chrisblogging.com ranks on page one in Google for the competitive term "freelance writing.†Along with this, I get traffic every month from hundreds upon hundreds of long tail keywords.
If you are anything like me you probably face this issue: you are a solid writer, but when it comes to SEO you don't know the first thing about getting started. Over the years I have learned a bit about search engine optimization, and it has helped me rank some sites, including this one, very high. That being said, this is far from my specialty.
Enter InboundTextLinks.com. I have been using this SEO service for several months in an attempt to rank many of my niche blogs. Not only are the people behind the service professional, but everything they do leads to big time results.
For $197 (which is quite cheap by industry standards) you will receive 116 high quality, high page rank links from web 2.0 sites, blogs, and article directories. This mix has worked well for me in the past, and I am confident it will do the same well into the future.
Best of all, InboundTextLinks.com guarantees that their service will work. In short, this means you have nothing to lose. Once you place your order and submit your URL and keyword your dedicated account manager will get to work on your package. If you don't see an increase in your keyword ranking after 60 days you will receive a full refund.
I have seen results within 5 to 7 days, although it often times takes 14 to 28 to really see a shift in rankings.
I have had a lot of success working with InboundTextLinks.com on a monthly basis. While I focus on my writing career they focus on helping me make money with my niche blogs.
At the very least, give InboundTextLinks.com a try for one month. You won't be disappointed with the results. And as always, if you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email!

Tactical Advantage Canine training continues right here.
Back in Dec 2013, i eluded to T.A.C training and the possibility of giving you some of that advanced dog training for free right here on this site.
Well it is time i delivered, and you are about to embark on dog training techniques so unpublished that you might think your a military insider.
Let's look at some things you can do with your dog that will give you the tactical advantage.
Are you ready to live the Tactical Dog lifestyle and supercharge your dog training to the next level? I hope everyone said yes!
Now remember that we are not building a Military Dog and not a Police Dog.
Our goal is to take your personal dog and make him a bit more valuable to you and your family.
You can personally take the dog as high as you wish, even as trained as a police dog, but for now lets work on some TACTICAL TYPE TRAINING.
The following are very easy ways you can train in a tactical mindset and bring your dog team up to a higher level.
1) TRAIN IN THE RAIN – This is fun and gives you a taste of Hostile Environment Training. This will show you how much control you really have over your dog. If you cannot get your dog to listen to you and sit in a total downpour, then you do not have total control of the animal. Start training in the rain and teach the dog that it may be required to work for you under less than desirable conditions. The powerful military dog teams across the globe work in climates that are not dog friendly, and still must get the job done. I personally have worked 10 hours in the downpours of the rainy season when in the far east. Get this training in your dog and you begin crafting a world class worker.
2) NIGHT TRAINING – Work in a large field, wooded area, rocky canyon, or a desert in complete darkness. You are to only focus on your dog to guide you through the area. Your going to learn to trust the dogs senses and read the dog to see how it alerts and responds to various stimuli. This will be like a college course in dog behavior. Do not look ahead or around as you go, only look at the dog. Trust your dog and trust your training is the k9 motto when going into hostile work zones. Use the dog as a night vision device and let the it lead you in the dark. Get a feel of the leash tugging and going slack to tell you what the dog is doing, moving, stopping, changing direction. You will not need to see the dog to know what he is doing when you work in night training.
3) SNIPER MODE – This was my favorite tactic when i worked guarding landing strips at night in the far east. Position yourself in a big open area and put your dog directly in front of you so your looking at the back of his head. Now you only have to position yourself so you are looking just over the dogs head right between its ears. You are using the dogs ears like the sight on a rifle. Anywhere the dog looks you can zero in on exactly the area it is looking at. By also reading the dogs body language you will know if it is alerting on a person, animal, or nothing at all. Time spent on this technique will allow you to become more in tune with your dogs alerts. This training goes hand in hand with night training.
4) SCRAMBLE TRAINING – This is the simplest of all the things i am giving you today. It will enable you to have your dog stay aware of where you are at any given moment. This awareness will get you quicker responses from your dog. All you need to do is just take off running without warning or reason. One second all is calm and then you burst into a full on run then stop cold in your tracks seconds later. This gets the animal to focus on you more and feel your leash movements as it does not want to be caught off guard should you decide to run. You can call the dogs name just as you start to move if you fear you will be dragging the pooch, but what dog does not like a good run? Vary the length of each run so the dog does not get bored with constant short running sessions. Focus of the dog on its handler is the key to an effective training session. This is a fun little technique to get you increased attention from your dog.
5) QUICK RESPONSE – Let your dog off leash and let him wander around and lose interest in you. When he is sniffing the ground or otherwise occupied, you are to sneak around a corner out of its sight. Now wait for thirty seconds or so to see if the dog notices your gone and comes looking for you. If it does not come then call the dogs name once loudly, and if dog still has not come you should begin calling its name in desperation and hope he comes to your rescue. We are testing to see if the dog will let you out of its sight and how long it takes to come find you. We are looking for a dog that knows your location at all times. Have a great treat or reward available for when the dog finds you and he will be motivated to find you much more quickly. I would like the reward to be lots of physical and verbal praise instead of a food reward, you use what you think will work best to motivate your own dog.
These are five training ideas you can put into effect right now. We learn to use a dogs strengths and downplay its weakness. We only use what is useful to our goal.
This is fun and interesting training for the handler as well as the dog. The training presented here is a streamlined version of the official T.A.C. system. It is presented here in this form for civilian use and enjoyment.
Let us now do a quick lesson on dog choice:
Many people ask why the German Shepherd is used most often as the dog of choice in Military and Police work over other dogs?
The answer is that although different breeds of dog excel in some areas ( aggression, scent tracking, loyalty, detection, agility), it is the German Shepherd that is most balanced in all these areas. The dog also has an imposing size and loud bark. It became the perfect choice for Police type work.
There are many breeds that have guard dog capabilities like:
The Bullmastiff
The Doberman Pinscher
Giant Schnauzer
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Staffordshire Terrier
And a whole list of Shepherd and whatever mix.
You can use any dog in some form or another, you just have to build on its strengths, like its bark, size, reputation, or its willingness to bite an attacker.
Dogs have been silent soldiers working to keep the peace for decades. Shepherds, Dobermans, Labrador, Pointer and Spaniel have all been trained by the best in worldwide security. These dogs are performing arms and explosive duties by locating these devices in buildings, roadways and vehicles.
These dogs are performing such duties as fighting against the war on terror with customs departments, protecting VIP's, and protecting military personnel and property.
I combine this T.A.C training with my modified Military Working Dog Training to create my current Tactical Dog Training System. This is my system and only those who attend my private classes get to see this stuff in person. This could be my most powerful post to date as you could spend months working on the training just presented in this article.
You will be seeing some books, special insider reports and military training revealed posts as i am making all my training experience available to all who seek the path of a greater more valuable dog training experience.
Once you have this information, you will be a very powerful dog trainer.
This information brought to you by Tactical Dog Training Systems and the Military Working Dog Trainers around the globe.
