To Grandmas House We Did Go!
by janperdew , February 27, 2010—12:00 AM
Ah yes, I remember those days well. The times when the whole family always came home for the holidays. The pace was much slower and families always spent the time together. Again I draw some part, the family togetherness from my own youth, some from my own family for this scene the third release of a series of prints I call Seasons Remembered. There are to be four in the set, Fall- Sunshine Napping, Summer- The Watering Hole Saturday Night, winter- To Grandmas house, We Go, and spring which is the one that is yet to be released , Glorious New Beginnings.
Due to the economy right now the plans to print have been delayed until we fee the time is right and the country is really recovering. Believe me I am ready for that time.
My paintings for the most part come to me from something someone has said , a picture of something I see can inspire a total picture in my mind. Even subconscious memories of thing I saw as I traveled to art and craft shows in the Midwest for more than 20 years. To that I will tell you that the house in the painting , when I did it I thought it was totally made up, but the next spring after I created Grandmas House as I was driving to a show in Minnesota , I looked over and there along Interstate 35 was a house almost identical in design to the house of my painting. Then on the return trip as I approached the Iowa-Minnesota border was a country church with evergreen trees that appeared much like the one in the distance behind the grandparents farm.
I also like to use cars in these scenes that were prized possessions of family members , it pleases them so much. My own grandfathers 1940 Dodge Business coupe, a 2 door car with a trunk a mile long, it seemed to me. Long enough to hold his old cane pole when he came to take me fishing. My ex husband had the 1969 SS 396 Chevelle in the front yard. (He wondered why I painted that one, instead of his favorite the 1970, I told him I preferred the front and grill design and color of his 1969 Chevelle. I tried to make some of the kids to look and do things mine did at those gatherings , the snowball fight. The guys by the car to resemble my father and grandfather, who were gone but not forgotten. We all know those guy who had to see under the hood of the grandsons big muscle car really did not know for sure what they were looking at.
I really love doing these ad telling all these stories. Many clients shows have always asked me if get nervous painting this cars and things, the answer is no, when working on these creations I can unwind and forget the stress of my every day life. I used my art to keep me positive and speed my recovery when I was fighting cancer in 1998. Attitude is everything in this fight. Mine was that cancer was NOT going to beat me, I was going to beat it and be back. Almost 12 years now cancer free and look at what I am accomplishing. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoy painting those views into the past.

Abstract (as presented by the authors of the scientific work):
"Kefir is a complex fermented dairy product created through the symbiotic fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts contained within an exopolysaccharide and protein complex called a kefir grain. As with other fermented dairy products, kefir has been associated with a range of health benefits such as cholesterol metabolism and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, antimicrobial activity, tumor suppression, increased speed of wound healing, and modulation of the immune system including the alleviation of allergy and asthma. These reports have led to increased interest in kefir as a focus of research and as a potential probiotic-containing product. Here, we review those studies with a particular emphasis on the microbial composition and the health benefits of the product, as well as discussing the further development of kefir as an important probiotic product."
Covered topics (the letter size corresponds to the frequency of mentioning in the text):
Conclusion (as presented by the authors of the scientific work):
"The purpose of this review has been to collate and summarize that which is known about the microbial composition of kefir and how this composition plays a role in the health benefits associated with kefir consumption. Kefir is a dynamic fermented dairy product with many different factors affecting the benefits associated with its consumption. These factors include the variable yeast and bacterial species present, as well as metabolites such as kefiran and other exopolysaccharides. While kefir has been associated with health benefits for 100s of years, the exact form of these benefits has, until recently, not been studied. The use of animal models and other in vitro analyses has allowed for the elucidation of how kefir positively impacts host health. Whole kefir, as well as specific fractions and individual organisms isolated from kefir, provide a multitude of positive effects when consumed. These range from improved cholesterol metabolism and wound healing, to the modulation of the immune system and microbiome, and even the potential alleviation of allergies and cancers. Further studies into the mechanisms behind these effects will allow scientists to better understand exactly how kefir and other fermented dairy products confer these benefits as well as how to harness these traits outside of kefir itself.
The wide range of potential health promoting effects of kefir could lead to a further expansion on the popularity of both traditional fermented kefir and products that are manufactured with kefir fractions or organisms. In order to fully exploit the beneficial characteristics of kefir, a more in-depth understanding of the composition of kefir is critical. With advances in metagenomic analysis through the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, this is a very realistic prospect. Armed with this knowledge, it should be possible to more readily isolate and examine the phenotypic characteristics of individual organisms present in a kefir blend while also providing a greater insight into the evolution of these organisms and how they became specialized to the kefir ecosystem. The additional knowledge gained can also provide crucial information relating to the mechanisms and exact agents responsible for beneficial effects that have been attributed to kefir (Atalan et al., 2003; Rodrigues et al., 2005; Huseini et al., 2012; Rahimzadeh et al., 2014).

Huntington Beach, CA (PressExposure) November 06, 2009 -- The Connecticut unclaimed money pile is getting bigger by the day in the state of Connecticut. An unprecedented drive is being undertaken by the State Treasury to create a list of rightful owners who have failed to claim their long forgotten money and properties.
In the fiscal year 2006 only, the CT State Treasury returned $26.2 million to its rightful owners. It is estimated that the department refunds almost $2 million per month as part of the unclaimed money and property. In 2007, the unclaimed refund amount was nearly $25.3 million and in 2008 it had risen to $32 million.
Most of the unclaimed money and property owe their origin to - dormant or lost accounts, lost securities, bonds, refunds, insurance claims, deposits, jewelry or coins. In addition to money and securities, the Connecticut holdings include tangible property such as watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps, historical items and other miscellaneous articles. A lot of unclaimed funds have also accrued because of the unnatural death of a person or because of a change in address and name.
In the last 8 years, Connecticut State Treasurer has refunded almost $110 million back to CT residents under the "The Big List" program. As part of this program this year, State Treasurer Denise L. Nappier has published more than 34,000 names in newspapers throughout Connecticut as part of the Treasury's effort to return millions of dollars of unclaimed funds to state residents.
The state treasurer's office says the unclaimed funds include dormant balances in savings and checking accounts, unclaimed wages and uncashed checks for insurance benefits. The agency says the money belongs to 887,000 people.
Nappier said, "The Treasury is one of the few agencies in government with an express mission to give money back. We have millions of dollars waiting to be returned to rightful owners. Just scan the newspaper or search a specially-dedicated web site, and you may find that you've got money coming your way." The 104-page insert in newspapers, called the CT Big List, is part of an effort to reunite residents with their unclaimed property. Copies of the list are also available in libraries and town halls throughout the state.
Connecticut citizens can inquire about their unclaimed funds through the State Treasury website (www.ctbiglist.com ). You can also utilize the vast database of http://www.cashunclaimed.com covering almost all the states. CashUnclaimed also has a patent pending Name Match technology, which makes the search for unclaimed cash much easier for the majority of Connecticut.

Was Obama's Trip Abroad A Success?
President Obama has been busy lately: He has met with European allies, discussed nuclear weapons with Russia and visited troops in Iraq.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
As you might have noticed, it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Barack Obama. He met allies in Europe, discussed nuclear weapons with Russia, and visited troops in Iraq. Here at home there are plenty of political developments as well, including some movement in the Senate election in Minnesota, and a House election in New York. For a Friday Morning wrap-up, here's NPR's national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and political editor and blogger Ken Rudin.
Good morning, guys.
MARA LIASSON: Good morning, Renee.
KEN RUDIN: Good morning, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Let's start with you, Mara. President Obama did well with both the politicians and the public in Europe. Now that he's been back a few days and with a little more perspective, what picture is emerging of that trip?
LIASSON: Well, I think it was a personal success for the president, you know. He went to Europe, he said that he wanted to send a message that things have changed, America's posture towards the world has changed. He's different from George W. Bush. He wanted to re-establish relations with our allies on a positive footing and change the way America is perceived abroad, and I think he certainly made progress on that. He had an ecstatic reception in Europe.
He was very popular with the public, and he was greeted with real enthusiasm by European leaders. But on the substance, on policy, he came back with a lot less. The Europeans wouldn't do what he wanted on stimulating their economies, they wouldn't give him more troops for Afghanistan, and even on Guantanamo -where of course, they're all happy that he has decided to close it - the French agreed to take only one, single prisoner from Guantanamo. So, a lot less on the policy than on the personal popularity. Of course, the White House says all those tangible gains will come.
MONTAGNE: And Ken, let's turn to you. The president still seems to be doing quite all right in the polls.
RUDIN: Right. I mean, he's been president, like, 81 days and there's no calls for his impeachment yet, which is a good sign for the county. But, I mean, I'm not a big fan of polls. I think we over-rely on them. But there was something this week - it was a CBS News-New York Times poll that caught my eye. Thirty-nine percent said the U.S. is moving on the right track.
Now, that's not the greatest number in the world, but compared to - it was only 15 percent in January, and 7 percent in October. I think that's good news for the new president.
MONTAGNE: Well, there was also, in politics, a little congressional race in Illinois with very little controversy, but one that political observers are focused on.
RUDIN: Well, that's right. Tuesday, Mike Quigley - he's a Cook County commissioner; more importantly, he looks like he's a Democrat who will not be winding up in prison, which is unusual for Chicago. He easily won the congressional race left vacant by Rahm Emanuel, now the White House chief of staff.
He quickly won nearly 70 percent of the vote. Of course, I'm making references to previous occupants of this seat - Rod Blagojevich and Dan Rostenkowski - who are, obviously well-known for other reasons.
But compare that race to what's going on in Minnesota. Al Franken's lead is now 312 votes over Norm Coleman, the former Republican incumbent. A three-judge panel this week decided to count 351 previously rejected absentee ballots. Coleman, of course, wanted more to be counted. But the lead increased, Franken's lead, from 225 to 312.
I know you didn't expect math to be on this exam here. But anyway, Coleman says he probably will now appeal to the state Supreme Court. Of course, a lot of voters want this over already. It's been over seven weeks since the election was held. But Republicans want them to fight on. And Coleman says that a lot of Minnesota voters have been disenfranchised.
Now, that 312-vote lead is like a landslide compared to what's going - to upstate New York: that's the New York 20th District. That's the one that Kirsten Gillibrand gave up when she became a senator. Right now, Democrat Scott Murphy has an eight-vote lead out of 150,000 votes. Republican Jim Tedesco is the former Assembly minority leader. The deadline for counting all the overseas absentee ballots is April 13th. So, that deadline is coming up. But of course, who knows? We're probably going to go to some court or three.
MONTAGNE: But, you know, Mara, Norm Coleman there in Minnesota, still hoping to come out on top with, you know, he seems to be on the receiving end of what as you just said, Ken, a landslide of 300-plus votes. But despite what happened in a Washington courtroom this week, Alaska's Ted Stevens has no such hopes of coming on top.
LIASSON: Well, Ted Stevens is no longer in the Senate. His career ended just days after he was convicted in October on seven felony counts. But the amazing thing is that this week, a federal judge not only dismissed the conviction of Ted Stevens, but he took this extraordinary step of naming a special prosecutor to investigate whether the government prosecutors who ran the Stevens case should be prosecuted for criminal wrongdoing, that they made so many errors and violations in the way they handled the case.
And this, of course, ended Stevens' career. He was the longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate. There's no way he can get his seat back, even if he does have this conviction voided. And of course, when there was a Democrat elected to that Alaska seat, it really helped the Democratic majority in the Senate, which looks like it might grow even more if Al Franken is seated.
MONTAGNE: Friday morning wrap-up. Thanks to both of you.
RUDIN: Good morning, Renee. Thank you.
LIASSON: Thank you, Renee.

Pic Your Poison Part 1: Davante Adams and Richard Rodgers
2014 showed that the Packers offense is, frankly, a juggernaut. Two rookies that made a difference at positions where that is difficult to do (wide receiver and tight end) in this league will now be coming back after a season full of experiences, good and bad. This experience, combined with the veteran presence of Pro-Bowler Jordy Nelson and the ever-dangerous Randall Cobb will give defenses fits in 2015. Add to that the up-and-coming Jeff Janis and a healthy Jared Abbrederis and the Packers receiver corps will force defenses to "pick their poison". We will highlight all these guys in successive…View More

PIEDMONT — Many early immigrants to the United States either changed or altered their names — or had them altered by immigration officials — but Chinese immigrants found themselves in a unique position when Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882.
It was the only time a U.S. law singled out a particular race for exclusion.
This year marks 70 years since the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was introduced as a way to keep cheap Chinese labor out of the United States. Certain Chinese groups, such as scholars and merchants, were exempt from the immigration restrictions.
"It was during that window when the law was in effect that my father came to the U.S. as a teen," said William Wong, 72, a retired journalist and former columnist and assistant managing editor with the Oakland Tribune and a reporter with The Wall Street Journal who lives in Piedmont with his wife, Joyce. Wong and his wife have one son, Sam Mende-Wong, 31, who recently got married.
"Many Chinese immigrants came to California during the Gold Rush and through the mid-20th century from the region where my father grew up in the rice-growing Pearl River Delta."
Wong's father, whose name was Seow Hong Gee, came through the Angel Island Immigration Station and settled in Oakland's Chinatown.
Wong said immigrants had to devise many ways of working around the exclusion act to get into the United States, including "paper sons and daughters," children on paper only who created identity slots that were given or sold to other Chinese immigrants.
"Despite the act, a lot of Chinese immigrants wanted to come to the U.S. to live and make money," Wong said. "Families risked the ill treatment in the U.S. and were willing to go through all sorts of crazy schemes because they wanted 'gold on the streets of California.' "
Wong's father met his first wife in China and they had one daughter together before she passed away.
"When my father wanted to bring his second wife, my mother, back to the U.S. in 1933, he had to list her as his 'sister' on immigration papers, since the law prohibited him from bringing in a 'wife,' " Wong said. "In reality, they were married with three daughters."
In 1934, Wong's mother, Theo Quee Gee, became pregnant with another daughter.
"What to do? She was supposed to be my father's sister, a single woman who is now pregnant," Wong said.
Wong's father hired a man whose surname was "Wong" to "marry" his mother to legitimize her pregnancy.
"My mother took the Wong surname, but within Chinatown we were always known as the 'Gee' family," said Wong, who is the youngest of seven siblings and the only boy. "Outside Chinatown, I and my three sisters who were born in the U.S. went by the name of Wong."
Wong said there was no confusion on his part about the situation since name changing was a common way to circumvent the exclusion act. He said there were lots of other Chinatown families who had similar kinds of dual-identity situations.
"On official documents, such as school registration, I carried the name of Wong," he said. "There was never any doubt in Chinatown that we were all the 'Gee' family. I don't remember it being a big deal."
However, after the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943, Wong said it became increasingly easy for Chinese-Americans to assimilate into mainstream U.S. society.
"It was an opening to Chinese-Americans to broader participation and involvement in American society, including jobs and housing."
Wong's family, who owned a restaurant on Webster Street from 1944 to 1961, moved from Chinatown to the China Hill area of Oakland — a few blocks from Oakland High School — when Wong was 7 years old.
"Before World War II, that was mostly a white neighborhood, but after the war, it became more accessible to Chinese," Wong said.
By the time Wong was a student at Oakland High School in 1954, he spoke English and was losing some of his Chinese language skills.
"I was becoming socialized into American culture, while still retaining links to Chinatown," he said.
He graduated from UC Berkeley in 1962 with a liberal arts degree, but even then, he didn't know about the Chinese Exclusion Act or the isolation of the population of Chinatown.
"I learned about that much later through journalism, books and articles and talking to people," he said. "There was nothing in the Cal curriculum back then that dealt with Chinese-American history. The 1960s marked the beginning of the ethnic studies movement."
Wong, who became editor of The Daily Californian during tumultuous times at the university, went on to become a reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
"We were doing a lot of political stuff at the Daily Cal which sowed the seeds for my interest in American politics," said Wong, who wrote features on Asian-American topics for The Wall Street Journal and later as a columnist for the Oakland Tribune.
Over the years, Wong's interest in his family history and Chinese-American history grew.
"The 1960s saw a huge turmoil in American society, including the birth of the Asian-American movement," he said. "I picked up on that and began unearthing stuff — it was the beginning of my self-education and interest in the history of Chinatown and my family."
In 2004, Wong published "Images of America: Oakland's Chinatown," a pictorial history with 215 photographs (Arcadia Publishing Co., 2004).
Since 2011, he's been busy on a family history project.
"It focuses on my father's life story. I intend to write a book about him," he said.
Wong also intends to reclaim his family name of Gee — he already has the Chinese character for the name tattooed on his left arm.
"A couple of months ago, I decided to legally change my name to William Gee Wong," said Wong, who filled out all the necessary paperwork at the county courthouse. "It will be Valentine's Day, 2014, when it becomes official that I have 'Gee' as my middle name."
He said he looks forward to seeing "William Gee Wong" printed on his upcoming book about his father's life.

The 4 Best Things to Buy at Presidents' Day Sales
Oh say can you see, in malls and online, the star-spangled signs for Presidents' Day sales? Most major retailers would have you believe that the sales this weekend are too big to miss, but that's not entirely true.
We hate to blow the whistle on the whole thing, but we here at Brad's Deals track prices on popular items all year long, and we know that the best deals don't necessarily coincide with this holiday weekend. Still, there are certainly sites worth visiting and items to look for over the next few days. Here's what our editors think you should buy at this year's Presidents' Day Sales:
We tend to see some of the lowest prices on furniture and mattresses this weekend, both in-store and online, and many retailers also offer free delivery. Get up to 60 percent off furniture at JCPenney right now, and use offer code 4GOSHOP to take an additional 15 percent off at checkout.
We also found deep discounts at Tanga, which is selling this 10" Dreamfoam Gel Mattress, normally priced at $500, for just $240. Use our exclusive code BRADSDEALS to take an additional $10 off and enjoy free shipping on your order! Target is offering 30 percent off living room furniture, plus an additional 10 percent off with offer code PRESIDENT, and using offer code GR8DEAL at Kohl's will get you this Riley Barrel Arm Chair, normally priced at $249.99, for just $119.99 with free shipping!
Prices on appliances will be lower this weekend than they have been in recent months, but they aren't the lowest we'll see all year. We've seen retailers jack up the list price on their appliances in order to advertise deeper discounts, so be mindful of the final price. That being said, Sears has a great appliance sale happening this weekend; check out this Kenmore French Door Fridge selling for $1,000!
Winter Clearance Apparel
It might be unseasonably warm here in Chicago, but make no mistake, winter isn't over yet. Many brands are selling their 2016 winter items at a steep discount this weekend, so stock up while the weather's still nice so you don't freeze once the snow comes back. Check out these North Face Men's Avalon Hoodies, originally $55, for $24 at Finish Line. Or this Women's Patagonia Downtown Jacket for $139 (plus free shipping) at Patagonia. Use offer code BRADSDEAL90 at checkout at Verseo to get these rechargeable ThermoGloves Heated Gloves for $89, down from $170.
Unless you really luck out, you're not likely to find the styles you want at a lower price than they are right now, so go ahead and fill in the gaps in your Winter wardrobe – you have our permission.
Another tidbit from fashion editor Nicole: "Plenty of big name brands are slashing their prices, from Tory Burch to Kate Spade. Those lucky enough to catch flash sales can also score some serious savings, so keep your eyes peeled!"
If you are in desperate need of a new TV, this weekend might be a good time to check out Dell. We've written before about why this computer manufacturer is secretly one of the best places to buy a high-quality TV for less, and these sales only underline that point. Snatch up a 24" Vizio Smart TV with a $75 gift card for $139, or this 55" 4K Vizio for $1099 with a $400 (!!) gift card AND a 6' Android tablet remote.
Rest assured, this weekend is not the only time you'll see prices this low, and you'll likely see similar sales even before Black Friday. President's Day is promoted as a shopping holiday, and all the major retailers jump on board, so you'll see a larger number of sales happening at once, but they aren't necessarily the best sales those stores will offer this year.
Keep an eye out for the items we mentioned, especially if there's something you need right away. And remember, holiday weekend or not, we're still looking for the best deals we can find on these items, so check Brad's Deals throughout the year. We'll let you know when we find a spectacular sale that you shouldn't miss.

Moving anything that belongs to the system off the SSD defeats the purpose of the SSD which is speed. I would advise you to leave ALL system files on the SSD and only place the user files on the HDD.

Keeping your OS on an ssd boot drive is fine. Most installers allow you to change the destination folder - drive to what ever you like. I do the same, for example d:\games\. You can install most programs where ever you want. I think MS did that separately to have their 32/64 exe's such as IE in definable folders.
Now I can't speak for Origin but Steam installs can be switched to an alternate drive other than C.

I will not touch the system created 'Program Files' and 'Program Files (x86)'. It will stay where it is, on the SSD.
I want to create a secondary folder for programs on my HDD, because I don't want all programs to be on the SSD. I just thought putting Program Files into another folder at start would cause programs that will later be installed there to not function properly.
What would happen if I created a folder on my H:/ drive (the HDD, not the SSD where the system is) and named the folder 'Programs'. in it I create two more folders, called '64bit' and '32bit'. (path e.g. H:/Programs/64bit). Now could I install a program there? Do programs have to be installed in folders called 'Program Files'? Does the name matter?

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

With most programs you have the option to install them on a folder of your choice - which could be on the HDD. That is the easiest way to get them to a folder that is different from the standard program files.

Program refusing to install in standard program files folder
I have an Advent (PC World brand) Laptop that comes with its own custom On-Screen Display software. The software is made for 32 bit Windows with no 64 bit version available as far as I'm aware. I have upgraded to 64 bit Windows recently and everything seems to work great except the OSD. ...

So apparently I bungled. Upon receiving my new computer, I noticed that there were 2 program files folders.

Restaurant Review: The Perch Pub and Brewery
Find out why this east Valley brew pub is for the birds
Story and photos by Chelsea Young, October 2015 Issue.
Walking into The Perch Pub and Brewery in historic downtown Chandler is like stepping out of a concrete jungle and into a secluded rainforest.
The indoor/outdoor space is surrounded by lush greenery – landscaped gardens flank the walkways and patio and strings of white lights illuminate the canopy of trees – which makes you feel as though you're tucked away in a secret garden. Add to that the sound of birds playing, pecking, and cawing, and you're in for a unique dining (and drinking) experience.
Why the birds? While The Perch is a pub, brewery and full restaurant, it's also home to a collection of more than 100 tropical rescue birds. This means that, yes, you can dine alongside colorful parrots, cockatoos and macaws. And, while they stay in their cages, your table chatter will most likely be punctuated by bird noises (Courtney the cockatoo joined our dinner conversation).
My dinner date and I arrived around 6 p.m. on a Saturday. We didn't make reservations and had to wait about 15 minutes for an indoor table. I'd recommend reservations for larger parties, especially during our hotter months, as indoor seating is very limited.
While sipping house-brewed beers at the rooftop patio and bar seemed like the perfect way to wait for our table, I wasn't impressed with the service and the club-esque music on the rooftop seemed loud and uncharacteristic for a dinner crowd at a place with such a laid-back vibe.
Nevertheless, I chose The Perch Batch 28 Blonde and my date ordered The Perch Rosemary IPA. I always gravitate toward blonde ales, as they are refreshingly light and make for perfect summer sipping. But this blonde ale packed a stronger punch than I expected – it was more malty and heavy for my taste. Conversely, I'm not usually a hops fan, but I enjoyed savoring the Rosemary IPA, perhaps because I love anything herby – and you can definitely smell and taste the rosemary in this selection.
Before we finished our beers, our table was ready. We were fortunate to have one of the brewers as our server, and he was, of course, very knowledgeable about the beer selection. I enjoyed his explanations of the different flavor profiles, and he was happy to bring us as many tastes as we liked before we committed to an entire pint.
We sampled several other house-made specialties, including Zilla Cuke (which had a hint of cucumber), Belgian Peach (a very sweet take on a peach beer), Cinnamon Honey Nut Brown (a darker brew that tasted like Christmas in my mouth) and the Grilled Lemon Cream Ale (it's actually made with grilled lemons!).
I opted for a pint of the Grilled Lemon Cream Ale while my dinner date went for the Zilla Cuke. The craft beer here is very well priced. Beyond giving free tastes, you can opt to order a 5-ounce pour for only $2 and a 16-ounce pint is just $5 (for most of the beers on the menu, anyway).
For an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese tater tots, mainly because anything with goat cheese is an automatic win for me. This tater tower was piled so high, and topped with two generous dollops of a whipped goat cheese, that we scarcely made a dent.
I was a bit disappointed that the goat cheese wasn't somehow in the tots, versus on top, which would have ensured goat cheese in every bite. We both preferred the normal (non-goat cheese) tots, which were crisped to perfection, served alongside our burger.
According to our server, the jalapeno-marmalade wings are one of the best things on the menu. And he was right. Soon, a plate of 12 jumbo-size wings arrived, garnished with a side of ranch dressing and slices of green apple as an alternative to the usual celery. The wings were tender and the flavor just spicy enough. After just two appetizers, it was apparent that The Perch does not skimp on portions.
For our main course, we also took our server up on two more recommendations: the margherita pizza and The Perch burger. Made in a brick oven (which we could see from our table), the pizza comes decorated with mozzarella, tomatoes, and house-made chimichurri sauce. While the beer-infused crust was absolutely amazing, the sauce (actually a chimichurri-flavored pesto) was a less-than-delightful surprise. To me, a margherita pizza is not pesto-based and, unfortunately, I really have to be in the mood for pesto to enjoy it.
The Perch is quite a literal name for this burger: Situated on a brioche bun, it's stacked high with bacon, an onion ring, jalapeno marmalade, avocado spread, lettuce, tomato and a fried egg. Unfortunately, our server didn't ask our preference on how we wanted it cooked, so when he brought it to us, he said he had them cook it medium (as opposed to coming back and asking us our preference, I suppose). It was definitely overcooked, and although the runny egg yolk and jalapeno provided nice flavor, it was an expensive risk.
Overall, I was really impressed with our server – from the tastes of different beers to offering us boxes and a carryout bag for our extra food. Every table was full (another good sign), yet our server always came to check in on us regularly, something I'm finding increasingly rare in restaurants these days.
As the temperature continues to drop, and the interest in fall flavors spikes, I would recommend the outdoor ambiance of The Perch for seasonal craft beers and warm, comfort food-inspired appetizers. Just know that if you add an entrée to your order, you'll be taking leftovers home (because you can't feed the birds)!

Authors and WebsitesNone yet The Red Monarch By The Kage Tenshi (Flashbacks contain: Violence, gore, swearing)
- Recommended by: Saiyan5nine-tails
- Status: Dead
- Synopsis: Tatsuki Miyabe has come to the Center for help on the recommendation of her guardian, and M.O.M has assigned her to be looked after by Martin Mystery and Co. Martin is disappointed by the prospect of a protection assignment, but what and who is after Tatsuki Miyabe? Most likely takes place after the show ended, so it is a Continuation Fic of sorts. Multiple Original Characters present, including my own later in story.
- Comments: Upon finding this story, I fell in love with it. It is still ongoing. Much of the story takes roots in events of the Center's past, and these flashbacks to the past, which take place later in the story, explain the position that M.O.M., Tatsuki Miaybe and her guardian were in 10 years ago after a terribly bloody event that involves Tatsuki's older brother. The back-story is told from the OC's guardian's perspective on Thekagetenshi's deviantart page, which I recommend you DON'T read until you get well up to chapters 8-11, lest you be spoiled, as it is around there that many things are explained. This Troper (Saiyan5nine-tails)'s own Martin Mystery stories crossover with it late into the story, beginning with chapter 8 in reference, and fully appearing in Chapter 11. The plot is well-paced, well-balanced with humour and action, as well as drama. Compared to the rest of the Martin Mystery series, the author admits it is Darker and Edgier, but the author succeeds with flying colours in making it work.

How the Fighting Irish can shut down Stanford's offense
One of the bigger matchups in the college landscape this upcoming week sees Notre Dame traveling west to take on Stanford. The Irish snuck past Boston College this weekend and their playoff hopes remain alive. Stanford represents a very real challenge, especially given the travel involved.
The Cardinals are 9-2 and have blown two games they could and perhaps should have won, but while their shot at the playoffs may be long gone, they remain a formidable outfit and will present interesting problems for Notre Dame to deal with.
Since C.J. Prosise picked up an injury against BC and is doubtful to play against the Cardinals, let's instead look at the other side of the ball, and what the Irish need to do to shut down Stanford's offense.
As successful as it has been, Stanford actually runs a pretty simple offense. Christian McCaffrey is their workhorse runner and they run predominantly power-blocking schemes up front to open up the holes. That allows their big linemen to get a hat on a hat and just use their strength to move defenders and create a crease, often with linemen arriving at the hole with a head of steam from a pull block.
Take this example from the game against Oregon. Stanford pulls both their RG and C around the TE to kick out the force defenders and open a big crease for McCaffrey to the inside.
There may not be a better runner in the nation at setting up his blocks and reading where to cut to when they develop in front of him, so this relatively simple scheme has been consistently successful and very difficult to stop.
Notre Dame's Sheldon Day is going to be pivotal in deciding this part of the matchup. He is a disruptive force for the Irish, consistently generating pressure and penetrating into the backfield to blow up plays. While the power-blocking scheme Stanford likes to run is a big plus if you have confidence in your linemen, it does mean that any one of them that can't execute their assignment can become a big problem in a hurry. Inside, the Cardinals have a trio of powerful run blockers in the form of Joshua Garnett at LG, Graham Shuler at C and Johnny Caspers at RG. Garnett is a legitimate NFL prospect and the best of the three, but for as good as the other two have been overall, they do get beaten badly on some plays, and could struggle to match up to Day.
Even Garnett had his one bad outing of the year against the best player he has faced: Oregon's DeForest Buckner. Sheldon Day may not be Buckner but he isn't far behind, as he's PFF's second-ranked interior defender (behind Buckner) this season. He has the ability to be a handful for any member of that offensive line and single-handedly cause issues in the blocking assignments.
With pull blocks like Stanford often employs, one player losing can draw a second man to clean it up, which starts dominos falling that results in an unblocked player in the hole that was supposed to be cleared for the runner.
Take this play against Boston College as an example. Day beats his man to the inside quickly enough that the TE pulling across the formation feels the need to help the block and seal it before Day can get into the backfield and take down the running back. He does that successfully, but that means the runner is met by an unblocked player that should have been accounted for by the tight end whose assignment got derailed earlier in the play.
Day has the kind of ability to do this consistently and affect the Stanford running game by blowing up just one block in the play.
The other player with the ability to have a major impact against McCaffrey and the Stanford offense is Jaylon Smith, one of the best linebackers in the country. Smith has huge athleticism and the rare ability to live with McCaffrey in the open field.
We're talking about a guy who can leap clean over running backs attempting to block him:
Smith isn't just raw athleticism though — he has the skills and technique to be a force in all areas of the game, which he will need to be to deal with a player like Christian McCaffrey, who has the same thing in his arsenal on the other side of the ball. Smith has the speed and instincts to mirror the runner and find him through traffic, but also the ability to deal with linemen at the second level and still navigate his way to the big hit, like this:
Smith's speed and athleticism will also be important should Stanford deploy the QB keeper on their option looks and let Kevin Hogan carry the ball out of the backside of the formation. They have done this with great success this season in the same way the Seattle Seahawks have with Russell Wilson for the past few seasons – not as a primary option, but when teams get too aggressive on the running back and don't respect the other option.
Smith against Hogan is an interesting matchup and one that Notre Dame might win, but if Hogan — or McCaffrey — ends up facing Joe Schmidt one-on-one instead then that is a far more likely Stanford win. Schmidt alone has 19 missed tackles on the season and doesn't have the same athleticism as Smith.
This run game matchup is not all that will happen in this game — Stanford can also strike deep off play action, and the other side of the ball will have its say in who emerges victorious in this game — but the biggest matchups are the ones we just highlighted. Does Notre Dame have enough up front to affect and disrupt the Stanford rushing attack, or will the Cardinal just have too much power across the board?
