Rust apparent in Arsenal victory
Arsenal will look back on the opening-day 2-1 win over Crystal Palace and be thankful for three points from a game in which they struggled to break down an obdurate and hard-working visiting side.
- Report: Ramsey wins it for Gunners
- Macintosh: Arsenal's resolution secures victory
- Report: Arsenal interested in Manolas
Beforehand, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted he was worried that his team wasn't quite where he wanted them to be in terms of physical preparation.
"Honestly we are a bit short in our preparation, because after the World Cup, we had 11 players at the World Cup, and many of them had longer holidays after that," he said.
And that was apparent throughout. At one stage in the first half Aaron Ramsey had the ball in midfield, looked around for somebody to give it to, implored his teammates to provide him an option, but none was forthcoming. That's not the Arsenal way.
The Gunners are usually the Premier League's most reliable passing team (sometimes to their detriment), but the amount of misplaced passes on Saturday was another indication of how their sharpness, which they need to be operating at its best, is something they're going to have to work hard on to achieve.
Although they dominated possession in both halves, they found Palace extremely well-drilled and well-organised. It might now be a legacy of Tony Pulis' time at the club (as was the time-wasting from early on), but they made life extremely difficult for the Gunners' midfield and attack.
They also made it uncomfortable by taking the lead through a corner that Brede Hangeland headed into the far corner in the 35th minute. Perhaps it was something else to attribute to the home side's lack of match sharpness, but the goal was also notable for the fact that Arsenal didn't have any men on the posts on the set piece. That's something new -- maybe down to lack of organization, but it will be interesting to see whether it recurs in the games to come.
Laurent Koscielny's headed equaliser right before half-time was just the tonic, and if the last few months have taught us anything about Arsenal, it's that they're more than capable of reacting when they do go behind.
Yet for most of the second half it was hard to see where the goal would come from. There was little or no fluidity to their football, the passing remained hit and miss, and although the introduction of Olivier Giroud gave them a stronger focal point in attack, those around him were off the pace.
Santi Cazorla struggled; Alexis Sanchez, despite providing the sumptuous cross for the equaliser, looked like he had the wrong boots on at times; while substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain slotted straight into the game by passing the ball out for a Palace throw.
In the end, last season's hero, Ramsey, secured the points with a late poke after Koscielny and Giroud kept the ball alive well from a corner. You can't say it is fortunate when a team keeps going and gets the vital goal, but given the paucity of the performance, Wenger will know his team skirted dropping some uncomfortable points at home.
However, given the disruption to the preseason preparations because of the World Cup, and handing debuts to three players still getting used to their new surroundings and teammates, it was always going to be a challenge.
The positive for Arsenal is that they took the three points, got a good 90 minutes under their belts, and can now build on this rather than fire-fight a draw -- or a defeat, like they had to on the opening day of last season.

For The Good Times
Ray Price
For The Good Times (Kris Kristofferson)
recorded March 16, 1970; Columbia Recording Studio, 804 16th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee; Producer: Don Law
with Ray Price: vocal; other details unknown
Columbia 4-45178 - master NCO 101434
Published in 1968 and first recorded that year by Bill Nash, For The Good Times languished for two years. "I wrote it in the late spring or early summer of 1968," Kristofferson told 'The Tennessean' "I was dividing my time between making nothing as a Nashville songwriter and making $900 a month flying helicopters to offshore oil rigs in the Gulf. On one of those drives I began a song about making love to a woman for the last time. After a while, the melody really got to me. I couldn't wait to get to a guitar. I was riding along thinking about that part where it says, 'Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin' soft against the window' and I wondered what the chords were. Hell, I wondered if I could play 'em. I only wrote the first part of the lyrics then. A while went by before I finished it. Can't remember how long, but I do remember who I wrote it about." The song was published by Marijohn Wilkin, who'd given Kristofferson his first break.
Songwriter Ray Pennington worked for Wilkin and saw how Kristofferson's songs for Monument Records/Combine Music were storming the charts. Going through the seventy or so songs that Kristofferson had written for Wilkin, he decided that For The Good Times would be a good fit for Ray Price. Discovering that Price was in Odessa, Texas, he couriered a tape or acetate of For The Good Times out to him. "We were playing the Stardust Club in Odessa," Price said later, "and a musician brought me in a demo tape of the song. I listened to it and after the next break, I got everyone together and played it for them and told the band that this would be my biggest record of all time." Although Columbia Records had forced Don Law into retirement three years earlier, he was still producing Price and Carl Smith. At a later session with Price and Law, songwriter Hal Bynum watched Price in action and had an astute observation: "Price's great talent," he decided later, "[is] that he phrased in a manner that forced the listener to pay attention to the words of the song. He broke the notes down into patterns of human speech so that it was not possible to groove along, listening only to the beauty of the voice and the melody. It was an added dimension of communication.
Price, in order to work all this out and perfect it, would have to be very intelligent." That skill is greatly in evidence here. In the wake of For The Good Times, Price assembled a 22-piece orchestra and went to Las Vegas. In January 1973, Columbia president Clive Davis came to Nashville to present platinum LPs to Price and Law in recognition of one million LPs sold. By then, the single had reportedly topped eleven million copies.

University of Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt is expected to deliver his pitch to Jon Gruden in person Wednesday and try to snag the biggest fish in all of football. But if Hocutt can't bait him (I'd say there probably is a better chance Hocutt won't) it doesn't mean the Hurricanes will necessarily be losing out.
As sexy a hire as Gruden might be for the people powering this push for relevance at UM, the truth is there are probably better fits the Hurricanes can find elsewhere. History tells us the most successful coaches at UM -- Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson, Dennis Erickson, Butch Davis and, yes, Larry Coker -- weren't exactly big names or established championship coaches before they became the man at Miami. They made their mark at UM as hungry, up-and-comers looking to establish their own fame and success.
Gruden has already tasted his. He won a Super Bowl when he was 38 years old, the youngest ever at the time. Now, he entertains us on Monday Night Football (kind of reminds me a little of John Madden). The issue here isn't if Gruden would be a good coach at Miami. The man knows football. He was 100-85 and made the playoffs five times in 11 NFL seasons. There's no doubt he would give Hocutt and UM's administration exactly what they're looking for: an instant shot of relevance and excitement for a rabid fan base starving for some.
The issue for UM, in the end, is if Gruden will really be the perfect fit -- especially for around $3.5 million (astronomical rates by Canes standards). Is the grind that is recruiting something Gruden is going to want to do? How about the every day stuff like chasing 18 and 19-year old players to class, making sure they stay away from South Beach, and helping who ever needs counseling get through tough struggles off the field? You know, The U family stuff. UM President Donna Shalala may love winning more than anybody at UM, as Hocutt said Sunday. But she doesn't seem to me like a person who will all of a sudden let the principles she asked Randy Shannon to uphold slip, so UM can win more games and play for championships.
I'm not saying Gruden couldn't be Superman here and do it all well. But the fact is he hasn't coached in college since 1991. All he's known for the last 19 years is the NFL. His reputation (one I gathered from talking to a sports writer who covered him in Tampa) is that of a football coach who is a competitive junkie, someone who loves the X's and O's with a passion and drives his assistants hard to achieve perfection. He's a guy who wakes up at 3 a.m. and is in the building to work by 4:30 or 5. Nothing wrong if you want to win. But college football is clearly a completely different animal than the NFL.
And that formula of winning at the NFL level doesn't always translate to college. Bill Walsh went from winning three Super Bowls with the 49ers in the 1980s to spending three years at Stanford in 1992. He won 10 games in his first season including the Pac 10 title, then went 7-14-1 over his next two. Bill Callahan led the Raiders to the Super Bowl in 2002 (against Gruden) and in 2004 found himself at Nebraska. He went 27-22 and in four seasons and played for the Big 12 title only once. He's now back in the NFL as an assistant. Al Groh (Virginia) and Chan Gailey (Georgia Tech) are others who won some, but didn't have major success in the ACC. The point is for every Pete Carroll at USC or Nick Saban at LSU and Alabama, there are examples of an NFL coach going back to college and not working.
And Gruden will definitely have to recruit. This isn't a team built to win a championship right. The quarterback play remains questionable. Receivers, linebackers and defensive tackles aren't stacked either. This isn't a matter of a team ready to win a championship and just needing the right leader.
In the end, who really knows what Gruden's intentions are and why he's even meeting with Hocutt at this point. Maybe, he'd like to coach his son Deuce (currently a junior in high school) in college? Maybe coaching at Carrollwood High got him thinking he'd like to go back to coaching young players, teach them the fundamentals of the game. Maybe, he would like to coach with his brother, Jay, potentially his offensive coordinator, and be the next biggest thing on South Beach behind LeBron, Wade and Bosh. Maybe, he'd love to be the next Pete Carroll and win three national championships. Or, maybe, this is all about Gruden trying to get his name out with the NFL season coming to a close soon and big jobs likely to become available. Whatever his intentions, that's Gruden's business. Miami seems to be willing to go to extremes to get him.
All I know is on Sunday, as we listened to Hocutt, I heard three different messages about his search for a choice. The first: "At the U, we expect to compete for championships and nothing less." The next: "Miami must be relevant in college football." And the last: "You can be relevant nationally and not win your conference. But at the end of the day, you must be relevant nationally here at the University of Miami."
Gruden would definitely make the Canes relevant. But I'm not sold on the rest of it. I'd rather have a guy who has done it all already somewhere else and is ready to take his success -- and UM's -- to the next level.
> I just want to give credit to our own Barry Jackson and Susan Miller Degnan for some excellent reporting tonight on this Gruden story. It's easy for anybody -- me included -- to get on Twitter and post stuff we hear from sources. But I can tell you putting it in print is a different deal. Barry and Susan worked hard last night to get a lot of good detail in today's story from sources as close to the situation as possible.
> As the story mentioned, if Gruden doesn't pan out the other potential targets include Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, Connecticut's Randy Edsall, Utah's Kyle Whittingham and Arizona's Mike Stoops, plus at least two others names, sources said.
Of that group, Mullen, Harbaugh and Edsall intrigue me the most. The issue of course is that Mississippi State is trying to act fast as possible to resign Mullen to a bigger contract. Harbaugh, a Michigan grad, has done a great job at USC and would also be a huge get for Miami. But I suspect he'd be Wolverines all the way if he left Stanford. Edsall is probably the most reachable. He just isn't the name that sparkles and gets fans excited. So, essentially, I think this list will expand to include some more top-notch names.
As I was told last night by a source, UM is ultimately looking for a charismatic leader who is an established winning he coach and doesn't come with any baggage. Just thinking out loud, but I think Wisconsin's Bret Bielema (45-16 at Wisconsin) and Baylor's Art Briles are guys who have won in tough conferences that probably deserve consideration. Outside of that, a good NFL coordinator wouldn't be bad -- especially with the labor issues in store for next year.

Why Yahoo Is Betting on Tumblr
Yahoo agreed to buy blogging site Tumblr for $1.1 billion. The WSJ's Amir Efrati tells Deborah Kan why this is a good move for the Internet giant's expansion into social media and mobile phones.

ok, so response fire.
If you are playing in a battle in which you are taking turns as to whos turn it is to move and fire. And you can consider a turn to have happened once every player has had a chance to move and fire. Then it makes sense that if a unit of one of the first players did not take an action then it would be able to have a response action instead. BUT, if an opportunity arises in which a player has not had his turn and would like to make a response action, is he allowed to make a response action? Because technically, he has not made the decision yet as to whether he will do something or not.
This problem does not really seem to come up in real battles, but with forum battle s it seems to be a pretty big issue.

DailyDirt: Playing Games With Your Brain
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- A 10-year long study of older adults shows that certain kinds of brain training exercises can have long-lasting, measurable (and beneficial) effects. Hundreds of volunteers (2,832) were divided into four groups for a control group and groups receiving memory, reasoning, and speed-of-processing training -- and the groups with reasoning and speed training showed significantly less decline in those cognitive skills. Unfortunately, it looks like memory training doesn't slow memory loss as we age.... [url]
- People over 60 might want to consider playing some brain training video games for a few weeks. Researchers created a (kinda lame) video game called NeuroRacer, and elderly volunteers who played it showed improvements in memory, attention and multi-tasking abilities. [url]
- Brain training video games are a multi-million-dollar industry, but the actual benefits of commercial brain games have yet to be rigorously studied -- or if they've been studied, the games show little to no real benefits. Hopefully, game makers will eventually succeed in making games that match their brain-boosting claims. [url]

Wander around the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art and discover some of the most important pieces of Italian art from the early 20th century.
Situated just off the Holloway Road, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art is housed in a beautiful Georgian building – it's the perfect site for a relaxing afternoon taking in sculpture and Futurist paintings.
This relatively new London gallery houses some of the most important pieces of Italian art from the early 20th century, mostly under the banner of Futurism, a movement founded in 1909 by F. T. Marinetti. Artists on display here include Umberto Boccioni, who represents the first artistic responses to the Futurist scene and Medardo Rosso, who was hailed as one the most influential sculptors of his time.
This particular London attraction is the only art gallery in the country to focus on the importance of modern Italian art to European art and culture; the gallery also holds regular workshops for both adults and children around the subject and themes discussed in the permanent exhibitions. If the idea of visiting one of the smaller, more intimate London art galleries appeals to you then there are few better examples in the capital.
Just one of the many London galleries you can see for free with your London Pass, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art is truly a mind-expanding experience. This is a must see London attraction for art lovers.

"My wife and I have been to London twice before but our adult children were with us this time and we decided to get the London Pass with the transportation option. It was fantastic. We visited many wonderful sites with which we were already familiar, but we also went to many places just because we had the London Pass - the Royal Mews, Wimbledon, Handel's Home, and more. These unexpected visits were so enjoyable!"

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 21, 2009) - After dropping a tough 3-0 decision to Elon, the ETSU men's soccer team is set to face third ranked North Carolina Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Bucs (1-2-2) are 0-2-1 in their last three games falling to Radford and Elon, while tying Virginia Tech on the road. ETSU has had four players score a goal led by sophomore Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) and Jaron Westbrook (Round Rock, Texas). Westbrook has the lone game-winner for the Bucs.
ETSU is 0-1-1 all-time against teams from the ACC including a 1-1 draw against the Hokies this year. The Bucs dropped an 8-0 decision to the Tar Heels a year ago in the only meeting between the two schools.
North Carolina (4-0-1) has won three-straight coming into the match. The Tar Heels defeated conference opponents NC State and Duke this past weekend. Michael Farfan and Cameron Brown lead the UNC attack with three goals apiece, while Farfan has a team leading seven points on the season.

Navigating projected traffic growth with the A380
As the air transport sector continues its upturn, Airbus expects the A380 to play an even greater role in accommodating air traffic demand.
According to Antonio Da Costa, Head of A380 Marketing at Airbus, the crisis left airlines in a challenging situation to plan their future fleets. "As we look ahead, we foresee a strong return of air traffic growth," he said. "We're already seeing major signs of this in emerging markets, and the developed markets are following."
This growth is expected to include more intercontinental traffic, particularly from Aviation Mega-Cities like London, Tokyo and Hong Kong – whose airports are becoming more and more congested as traffic increases.
Airlines cannot accommodate traffic increases simply by adding aircraft to their fleet – they must use the right aircraft, Da Costa explained. The A380 – with its superior range of 15,700 km., as well as the capacity to carry 525 passengers in a comfortable three-class configuration, and up to 853 in a single-class layout incorporating wider seats than its competitor – is an optimal solution.
Da Costa cited several examples of the A380's capability to meet airlines' traffic demand on dynamic routes and to key destinations: Asia-Europe is the biggest A380 market, with 116 frequencies weekly; the 13 daily A380 flights to London offer more than 6,400 seats every day, in each direction from Dubai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Los Angeles and Singapore; and there currently are over 63 weekly A380 services to Japan, along with 56 services to Hong Kong each week.
He added that Airbus is on track to provide a total of 25 A380s to customers in 2013, with deliveries so far this year including the first three for British Airways, along with additional jetliners for the fleets of Air France, China Southern, Emirates, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways International.

Most IT pros who want to make a bigger salary feel as though the only way to do it is to move into a management role. Unfortunately, that's often the only avenue in many companies. But what if you're an IT pro who smartly realizes that he or she may not have the skill set for management? Or what if you enjoy the technical aspects of the job and don't want to move away from that? Here are some things you can do to boost your salary in the position you're already in:
Be a thought leader in your specific technical area
Create an online presence. Soup up your LinkedIn presence with affiliations with some prestigious companies and technical organizations. Create your own blog in which you write about technical issues that you're an expert in. Or contribute to online tech publications. Blogs not only showcase your knowledge, but search engines like the frequent stream of fresh content.
Give speeches. You can do this in tech organizations that you belong to. Send speech topics to event organizers and maybe they'll take you up on one.
Be the primary contact for the company's most important software application
Many tech pros consider it a good day if they don't have to interact with anyone. But if you're willing to help end-users with the software (addressing problems but also training them how to use it), you become the go-to person and your name that floats into conversations most often. And while I don't recommend hoarding important information as a way to make yourself indispensible, being the company expert on an application does make you more important.
Become an expert in the technical direction your company is moving
If a company is moving into unknown territory (like the Cloud), the stockholders will want to learn everything they can. If you're the person who can answer all the questions, you'll become prominent on the radar screens, and thereby raising your professional profile. This is particularly effective if you're in an industry that uses a particular kind of technology. It's a smaller pond in which to become the big fish.

And you thought the Dolphins were done with the Ravens after the playoffs last season?
In fact the Dolphins are monitoring the Ravens this week as two and perhaps three possible free agents from that team are Miami targets, in varying degrees, when free agency begins Feb. 27.
The Dolphins like linebacker Bart Scott, center Jason Brown and strong safety Jim Leonhard, according to an NFL source. But the source says it is unlikely the Dolphins will get more than one of those players -- at most -- because of other circumstances, not related to Miami, that are currently at play.
The source said no team, including the Dolphins, are likely to land both Brown and Scott because one of them is likely to return to Baltimore as a newly minted re-signed player before the end of this week. It should be noted that agent Harold Lewis represents both Brown and Scott and he recently told the Baltimore Sun he was negotiating with the Ravens on deals for both.
"My gut feeling is one of the two is going to hit free agency and the other one will probably sign," Lewis told the Sun. "That's just my gut."
Make no mistake here, the Dolphins hold both in high regard.
Scott is the explosive, running back-hungry inside linebacker the team wants. He's big at 6-2 and 240. He's quick. He's a great run-blitzer and is often effective when blitzing on passing downs. He also has excellent instincts.
If there is a downside on Scott it is that he will command a high price and there will be plenty of competition for his services, including within the AFC East. He is also 28 years old, which is slightly older than what is optimal in Miami's eyes.
Brown, 26 in May, is more attractive from an age standpoint. He has size at 6-3 and 320. He has a reputation for being tenacious. He is durable, having started every game the past two seasons -- he was the only Baltimore lineman to start every game in 2007. And he has started as both a left guard and a center during his career.
Leonhard is the least likely of the three the Dolphins would land because, frankly, he's probably headed to the New York Jets anyway.
Speaking of the Jets, the hiring of Rex Ryan as head coach is not exactly a good thing for the Dolphins. It says a lot that Ryan is a Bill Parcells protege' and has the Big Tuna's respect. In fact, Ryan was among the coaches interviewed when Big Tuna was lining up his Tuna Helpers in 2008.
So how does Ryan's presence in New York affect the Dolphins?
Immediately, Ryan will be adding talent he's familiar with and that means Ravens players. The scuttlebutt in league circles is that Leonhard, who started for the Ravens and was the object of some man love from some of the posters on here, is on New York's free agent radar.
Not coincidently, the Jets are also interested in Scott, which might cause another problem for Miami.
Leonhard, you'll recall, had an interception in the playoff game against Miami. And yes, the Ravens, with Ryan as their defensive coordinator, beat the Dolphins twice last season. Doesn't mean Ryan is more likely to beat the Dolphins while with the Jets. But he obviously understood Miami's offensive weaknesses.

Talented, veteran group figures to be Miner strength.
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series of articles previewing the 2013 football season at Missouri S&T. The daily stories will feature one position, or a set of positions, each weekday until the team reports August 11. Today's story features the Miner defensive line.
Missouri S&T's defense was one of the best in both the Great Lakes Valley Conference and NCAA Division II during the 2012 season, with much of that success beginning with the play at the line of scrimmage.
The Miners finished last season ranked second in the nation in quarterback sacks with a school record 45 and was among the top teams in rushing defense, allowing only 86.7 yards per game on the ground.
The good news heading into the 2013 campaign? The majority of the contributors to that success will be back in uniform this fall.
S&T's defensive line will be headed by four players who earned All-GLVC laurels a year ago, including defensive tackle Eddie Rascon (Canutillo, Texas/Canutillo), an honorable mention All-America selection by Beyond Sports Network. Rascon was tenth in the nation with 13 sacks a year ago and finished with 44 tackles overall. He will line up beside Josip Juric (West Des Moines, Iowa/Dowling HS), a junior who was in on 37 tackles and was very effective at tying up offensive linemen throughout the year.
The starting defensive ends last season, Freddy Dugard (Queens Village, N.Y./St. Francis Prep) and Jimmy Barnhart (Union, Mo./Union), combined for 18 sacks and both were cited on the GLVC's all-conference team at the end of the year. Dugard and Barnhart, along with Rascon, received pre-season All-America mentions on USA College Football's squad released recently.
Not only are the four starters on the front line back, so are some of the key reserves in those positions as well. At defensive tackle, the Miners return Geoff Correnti (Bowling Green, Mo./Bowling Green), Steve Martin (St. Louis, Mo./Christian Brothers College HS) and converted offensive lineman Collin Powers (Glendale, Ariz./Ironwood), who Fenwick felt had a solid spring and could play his way into the mix as well. On the ends, the Miners got very productive 2012 seasons from Dan Mauszycki (Gardner, Kan./Gardner-Edgerton HS) and Dale Davey (Kansas City, Kan./Turner) – a combined 32 tackles, five pass breakups and five sacks.
"I think one of the keys to having a good defensive line is being able to have depth, so you can rotate guys to keep them fresh," said S&T head coach Tyler Fenwick. "When you don't have it, they get worn down over the course of a game and a season. But I think we have the depth that we can keep fresh players in throughout games."
Returning squadmembers Jacob Nutt (Pacific, Mo./Pacific) and A.J. Warren (Columbia, Mo./Rock Bridge HS) will also look to make contributions this season as well on the interior line, while redshirt freshman Andrew Masters (Kearney, Mo./Kearney) will also look to earn a role at defensive end this fall, as will incoming freshmen Dorian Yearby (DeSoto, Texas/DeSoto) and Garrett Tunnell (O'Fallon, Mo./O'Fallon Christian).
"As a whole, that defensive line is very active," Fenwick said. "This is a group that has a lot of character, they run to the ball, understand the defense and play really hard. They might be a bit undersized, but they make up for it with how hard they play."

Watch over thy child, O Lord!
Crazy Stable: Crazed Catholic Lenten Prayer Edition completes its first full week! I've posted a kickin' old-school prayer (almost) daily since Ash Wednesday and am just warming up. If I pull this off, blogging may join fasting, prayer and almsgiving as a Lenten discipline, and you will know whom to thank.
Technically, I believe, Sundays are not part of Lent. But since I missed posting yesterday, I'll share today the only prayer I remember to say with any regularity: one for children from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, given to me by my dear friend Merian after my daughter's birth. She referred to herself as an Anglican, so including this prayer in a Catholic context reminds me of the bar owner in The Blues Brothers who assured Jake and Elwood, "Oh, we play both kinds of music: country and western!"
I pray it when my daughter sails out of the house each morning, but now I'll include this sweetheart: Melven, the little guy we just sponsored through the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. This is a fantastic organization, for which our former pastor now works; they spend their money wisely in the developing world, and the kids and elderly folks sponsored really do exist. Melven is 6, likes "maths" and dancing, and has a little sister and a dad whose income as a security guard "is not enough to maintain basic expenses." Curiously, his dossier also states that Melven is "willing to become a doctor." Since I live in Brooklyn and he in India (two places where nothing is impossible), someday I could look up from a gurney in my blithering old age and see those gorgeous eyes looking down at me from over a surgical mask. There are lots more kids (and dear, needy old folks) waiting; go here if you can spare $30 a month to sponsor one of them!
Here is that beautiful prayer for our children, spiritual and otherwise; for girls, please swap in "her" for "him" so I needn't burden the syntax.
A Prayer for A Child
Watch over thy child, O Lord, as his days increase. Bless and guide him wherever he may be. Strengthen him when he stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise him up if he fall; and in his heart may Thy peace, which passeth understanding, abide all the days of his life, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

As you have probably gathered from reading my blog, we love Asian food. We often say to each other that we could live on Asian, Mexican, and Italian food…but mostly Asian. Bryan said the other day, I could eat Chinese food for breakfast lunch and dinner…I have and it was awesome. I lived in China for a little while in 2003, while I was a Program Liaison between two colleges/universities – one located in Worcester, MA where I was employed and our partner Beijing Geely University located in the Changping District.
My time spent there was right in the middle of the SARS epidemic so traveling outside of Beijing was out of the question. I did however get to spend quite a bit of time doing the "tourist" thing by visiting places such as The Great Wall (twice) (Bādálǐng), The Forbidden City (Zǐjin chéng), Tiananmen Square (Tiān'ānmén), The Summer Palace (Yíhé Yuán), Mausoleum of Mao Zedong (Máo Zhǔxí Jìniàntáng), Ming Dynasty Tombs (Míng shísān líng), Temple of Heaven (Tiāntán), Temple of Confucius, and many more.
While I didn't get to travel much, I ate some of the most amazing food. Most of my meals in the beginning of my stay were supplied by the on campus dining rooms – all of which were really great. We (my Chinese colleagues and I) would venture out to local restaurants to try some more delicious and local dishes. My breakfast usually consisted of the following: fresh made wonton soup or red bean porridge , scallion pancake (cōng yóu bǐng) (I am working on a gluten-free recipe for these, stay tuned), fresh hot soy milk ( dòunǎi) which has a slightly sweet flavor to it. Lunch was a number of different options (sadly most of which I can't remember their name): kung pao chicken (gōng bǎo jī dīng), egg flower soup (dàn huā tāng), the most delicious spicy cucumbers, steamed dumplings (xiǎo lóng bāo) – either veggie or meat filled, and for the occasional dessert some Mantou (mán tou) which is steamed bun that is served either steamed or deep-fried with condensed milk. For dinner my favorite dish was Peking Duck (Běijīng kǎoyā), Hot Pot (shuàn guō zi) was another favorite of mine, although they tended to order mutton (yáng ròu) I opted for the chicken (jī ròu) and Sichuan Dry-Fried Green Beans with some ground pork.
So I have lived solely on Chinese food and would do it again in a heart beat. Thankfully Bryan loves the same styles of food that I do. Many of our meals are Asian and Mexican inspired dishes. We venture out but always come back to our love of Asian food.
Below is a recipe that is inspired by the P.F. Chang's Gluten Free Lettuce Wraps – it is not a copycat recipe like my Beef a la Sichuan is but just inspired by it. We were at P.F. Chang's last night to celebrate Bryan's birthday (a little early, but we wanted to go before school started up for the both of us again). Since I was making lettuce wraps tonight we opted for our other favorite appetizer, their Shanghai Cucumbers.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps {Crockpot Recipe}
3 large chicken breasts* – diced into small pieces
3 large celery stalks – diced into 1/4 inch cubes
8 oz baby bella mushrooms – diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1 8oz can water chestnuts – chopped (divided)
1 8oz can bamboo shoots – chopped
3 cloves garlic – finely chopped
1/2 inch piece ginger – peeled and grated (I use a microplane)
1 tbs brown sugar
1/2 tsp chili garlic paste
1 tbs sesame oil
1/2 cup gluten-free soy sauce (I use San-J low sodium if you have it)
2 tbs hoisin sauce (I use the Dynasty brand)
- Prepare all of the ingredients according to the above directions.
- In a crockpot (mine is 7qts…you can use a smaller size too) add the Hoisin Sauce, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Brown Sugar, Garlic Paste, Ginger, Garlic, Bamboo Shoots, 1/2 of the Water Chestnuts, Celery, and Mushrooms.
- Mix together.
- Add the chopped chicken and mix until evenly coated.
- Cover the crockpot and turn it on low.
- Cook for 5 1/2 hours.
- Stir about half way through to incorporate everything and break up some of the larger pieces of chicken.
- Add the remaining water chestnuts, mix well, cover, and cook for an additional 1/2 hour.
- To serve: Peel the leaves off of a head of iceberg lettuce, butter/boston lettuce, or use romaine hearts. Scoop about 1/4 -1/2 cup into each leave, "roll up" and enjoy. You can top these with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and chopped peanuts. We'll be serving ours with a side of steamed edamame.
Notes: Many recipes out there call for ground chicken, which is completely acceptable, however I wanted a more hearty version so I choose to use chicken breasts and dice them instead.
You can also add all the water chestnuts at once, they will retain their crunch, but I wanted a bit more crunch so I added half of the can in the beginning and half towards the end.
Vegetarian version – instead of chicken increase the amount of mushrooms and celery, add zucchini, yellow summer squash, baby bok choy, etc.
Non-Onion Free version – replace the celery with 1/2 cup 1/4 inch diced white onion.
Hope you enjoy this crockpot dish – I dished out a little bit to take a photo and then I couldn't put it back sooo I ate it…its delicious!
(The chopsticks in the photo were sent to me from a dear friend, Shiho whose family runs one of my favorite little sushi places, Ocean Sushi in Monterey and Pacific Grove, CA. If you are in the area stop on by – they have gluten-free soy sauce!! Thanks Shiho, these get quite a bit of use!)

Alfresco Picked by Activision For Customer Web Portals and Intranet Collaboration
Activision Awards Points to Enterprise Content Management Solution For Low Cost And Ease of Use
LONDON—16 June, 2008 – Alfresco Software today announced that Activision has selected Alfresco document management, collaboration and Web content management products for the company's new Internet customer and corporate intranet portals.
Activision is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure products. Activision was the No.1 third-party U.S. publisher of video games for both console and handheld platforms for calendar 2007, according to the NDP Group, a market research firm providing news and information on consumer trends, sales and marketing information.
Activision is using the innovative Alfresco Web Content Management (WCM) application to manage content for a series of new interactive customer Web portals, each centered on one of the company's major video game franchises. These 40 micro-sites, in six different languages, will provide a personalized one-to-one Web experience that lets more than 5 million video gamers test games and offer feedback, receive special pre-launch perks and information, and communicate interactively.
The portal program, which rolled out in December of 2007, is designed to drive repeat visits, create buzz and build a franchise community, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional television advertising. Alfresco's systems integration partner, CIGNEX, along with the creative agency Studiocom, have been instrumental in building and deploying this solution.
"Alfresco provides a collaborative framework that keeps the multimedia communications flowing among Activision, its marketing agencies, affiliated game development studios and the user communities. Previous solutions we tried were too complicated for these types of online interactive consumer projects," said Niel Armstrong, vice president of Information Technology, Activision. "Alfresco is considerably easier to implement than a traditional enterprise content management solution and costs significantly less."
Activision is also using Alfresco as the platform for an intranet project designed to share production content and documentation among the company's studio operation, quality assurance and production departments. The studio operation group manages the standards required by the various video game platforms, details policies and procedures, and manages feedback and bug fixes through the portal. The quality assurance group coordinates all submissions and corrections based on feedback from studio operations, prior to handoff of the masters to production, also through the portal.
"Activision's use of Alfresco is another example of our success in the media and entertainment sector. The use of Alfresco WCM to deliver Activision's richer internet applications with Web 2.0 capabilities that are easy to use and integrate with their existing tools is a compelling endorsement of our vision," commented John Powell, CEO and Co-founder, Alfresco Software. "As a result of their outstanding use of Alfresco WCM functionality to deliver a rich user experience, Activision has been awarded the WCM Implementation of the Year in the 2007 Alfresco Excellence Awards."
Niel Armstrong and CIGNEX will be presenting an online webinar detailing the Activision.com implementation of Alfresco on June 24 and 12pm EDT. For more information visit: http://www.cignex.com/

Posted by Josh Jubinsky on January 4, 2011
Graphic novels and zines go together like chocolate and marshmallows, not all the time, but when they do – it's awesome. Especially when it's involves kids, and the opportunity to get some guidance for you child creating his or her own graphic novel.
On January 15th you and your child have the opportunity to learn why reading graphic novels are "really" reading!
Katie Monnin, one of the most enthusiastic speakers I've ever heard (seriously!!), is coming to the Main Library. She's published two successful books about the literary merits of graphic novels, how to use them in the classroom, and why they rock! As a parent, you get to come learn the who-what-when-why of you and your children reading graphic novels together, and your kids get to come and participate in a graphic novel creation activity.
Parents, sign up today for by calling the Main Library's Children's Department at 630-2417.
