There were now seven districts in the council. Listed below is a detailed listing of communities in each of the districts:
Iroquois District – All of the city of Syracuse except the north side. This included Elmwood, Bellevue, and University sections. South Onondaga, Onondaga Hill, Otisco, Indian Reservation, Nedrow and Southwood.
Mohawk District – The Syracuse north side: Eastwood, Sedgewick and James St. areas. East Syracuse, Lyncourt and the Minoa School Districts.
Interlakes District – Westvale, Solvay, Split Rock, Taunton, Fairmount, Camillus, Memphis, Jordan, Elbridge, Skaneateles, Otisco, Marrietta, Amboy, Belle Isle, Warners, Jack’s Reef, Peru, Skaneateles Falls, Bordino, Marcellus, Marcellus Falls, Howlet Hill, Sherwood Farms, Harris Hills Ares, Lakeland and Baldwinsville.
Limestone District – DeWitt, Fayetteville, Manlius, Fabius, Pompey, Jamesville Southward, and Pratts Falls.
Oneida District – Bernhards Bay, Brewerton, Bridgeport, Caughdenoy, Central Square, Cicero Center, Clay, Cleveland, Constantia, Hastings, Liverpool, Mattydale, North Syracuse, and West Monroe.
Ontario District – Oswego, Mexico, Parish, Williamstown, Altmar, Pulaski, Sandy Creek, Lacona, Orwell and Refield.
Pathfinder District – Hannibal, Volney, Palermo, Granby, Schroeppel, Van Buren and parts of Geddes. Hanibal, Fulton, Pennellville, Plainville, Baldwinsville and Lakeland.
The Scout Executive during this period was Karl H. Lerz. (1972 - 1975)
1910 - 1915 During this period scout troops were being formed in the city of Syracuse. There was no formal central organization with paid professionals during this time. A Scoutmasters’ Council was formed in 1911 by a group of troops under the leadership of Charles Trump, H. Fred (Daddy) Lee, Col. William Verbeck, and Scout Commissioner A. W. Hudson.
1915 – 1921 Sometime in 1915 a decision was made to form a council under the national Boy Scouts of America. The council was named the Syracuse Council and assigned council number 390. This was one of the first councils to be formed in New York State. (See addendum for an explanation of how council numbers were assigned.)The first paid Scout Executive was Arthur Rex (A.R.) Forbush. He was hired effective December 8, 1915 and resigned effective May 30, 1916. The scout office was located at 618 S.A. King Building, 220 East Genesee St, Syracuse.
The second Scout Executive was Robert S. Henderson, June 1916 to 1920.
It is difficult to determine if the there were any other paid professionals on staff during this period or what the council organization was like. There was a secretary who typed some of the correspondence I found, and in 1921 a job doing “Rural Organization work” was offered to Clarence Hunter. The job paid $200.00 a month and would involve “…all districts in rural sections of the county under my (Council Executive’s) guidance.”
Note: The Hiawatha Council History written in 1980 contains an article “History Of The Boy Scout Council”, written by Marion Harcourt. In this article it is stated that a decision to form a council was made in 1916 and that the first Scout Executive was Robert Henderson. All of my research indicates that a decision to form a council was made in 1915 and that the first Scout Executive was A. R. Forbush.
1922 – 1929 In 1922 the name of the council was changed to Onondaga County Council. The council number 390 remained. I have no explanation as yet as to why the name was changed. Henry Reichard became Scout Executive in 1920 to 1925. He was followed by George Morton 1925 to 1933. I have no been able to obtain any information regarding council organization.
1929 – 1940 In 1929, the Onondaga County Council joined with the Cortland Council and formed the Onondaga-Cortland Council representing youth in both Onondaga County and Cortland County. The council number remained 390. Cortland County was considered one of the districts in the council.
The camps of the Onondaga-Cortland Council were Camp Tioughnioga near the city of Cortland, Camp Woodland near Constantia, Rams Gulch near Jamesville and Camp Syracuse in the Adirondacks. (Camp Loyalty existed from 1918 to 1929.)
On November 14, 1939 the Cortland District petitioned the executive board to separate themselves from the Onondaga-Cortland Council effective January 1, 1940. The persons of Cortland County, led by Dr Wattenburg, Judge Ames and Fred Purchas, wanted to form their own first class council and felt they could better serve the youth of Cortland County if they were a separate council. The proposal was approved on November 29, 1939 at a special executive board meeting. Cortland County became the Tioughnioga Council
In 1931 the council was divided into 10 districts, each numbered 1 to 10, each district having a District Chairman. The districts did not have names. The staff included a Scout Executive, and professionals for Activities Organization, Rural Scouting, Cortland, Camp Woodland, Rams Gulch, and two secretaries.
During this period Leo M. Sandefur served as the Scout Executive, 1933 to 1942.
1940 – 1943 In 1940 the council was renamed Onondaga Council serving the boys who lived in Onondaga County. The council number remained 390. In 1942 Ernest Blanchard became Scout Executive, holding the post until 1958.
1943 – 1947 The Council was divided into seven districts. Each district has a District Commissioner, a volunteer who led the district; a Neighborhood Commissioner, often with more than one assistant; and an Assistant District Commissioner for Emergency Services.
Eastern District – Fayetteville, East Syracuse
Geddes District – Solvay, Amboy and Split Rock.
Northern District – Mattydale, Cicero, Lyncourt, North Syracuse and Liverpool.
Northwestern District – Baldwinsville.
Southern District – Tully, Lafayette, South Onondaga and Onondaga Hill.
Western District – Skaneateles and Warners.
Syracuse District – This district covered the city of Syracuse, and was broken down into six Areas:
Bellevue-Valley Area – All Saints Church, Roosevelt School. (The Valley was dropped after 1945, and the Area was simple known as the Bellevue Area.)
Burnet Area – St. Patrick Church, Porter School, Syracuse State School, Polish Home on Park Ave and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.
Central Area – Park Street Presbyterian Church, 1st Baptist Church.
Lemoyne Area – Grant Junior High, Webster School, LeMoyne School.
Lincoln Area – Eastwood Baptist Church, Lincoln Junior High.
University Area – Erwin Methodist Church, Calvary Baptist Church.
These Areas in the city of Syracuse acted as districts, as each Area conducted it’s own meeting and training sessions. However, they were under the umbrella of the Syracuse District, and each Area did send representatives to periodic all district meetings held at the New York Power Corporation.
1947 – 1948 In January, 1947, the number of districts was reduced to four. The six districts surrounding the city of Syracuse became three Districts:
Three Rivers District – Cicero, Liverpool, Baldwinsville, Mattydale, North Syracuse and Brewerton.
Limestone District – Kirkville, Manlius, Jamesville,
East Syracuse, DeWitt, Nedrow, Bridgeport, Fabius,Lyndon, Tully, Fayetteville, Pompey and Minoa.
Interlakes District – Solvay, Camillus, Fairmount, Westvale, Marcellus, Split Rock, Warners, Amber, Jordan, Lakeland, Amboy, South Onondaga and Memphis. (The district was first listed in the December 1946 Scouter as the Geddes/Western District, but this was changed to Interlakes by January 1, 1947.)
The Syracuse District remained as it was, covering the city proper divided into three areas: Burnet-Central, Lemoyne-Lincoln and Bellevue-University. Each area has a Field Scout Executive assigned to it, although at various times one Field Scout Executive covered multiple areas.
During this period there were no District Executives, rather the council employed three Field Scout Executives to manage the Districts/Areas. In November 1951, the Field Executives were renamed District Executives.
1948 – 1964 In February 1948, the number of districts was increased to six. The City of Syracuse Areas were eliminated and the city was divided into three districts. The districts outside the city remained the same. The three new districts were:
Daniel Boone District which included among others: the Dunbar Center, Porter School, Delaware Street Baptist Church, Universalist Church at the corner of Adams and South Warren Streets, Sacred Heart Church, St Mark’s Episcopal, St Sophie’s Hellenic Church, and Plymouth Congregational Church.
Kit Carson District which included among others: Lyncourt School, Our Lady of Pompeii, Le Moyne School, Holy Trinity Church, Blessed Sacrament Church and Woodlawn Methodist Church.
Buffalo Bill District which included among others: Salt Springs area, St. Andrews on Salina St, Most Holy Rosary Church, Percy Hughes School, St. James Church and School on South Salina, Edward Smith School, Lafayette Ave. Methodist Church at the corner of Lafayette and Midland.
The Scout Executives during this time were Perry S. S. Jackson (1958 – 1963 and James A. Early (1963 – 1969).
Starting in 1959, each district had its own section in the council newspaper, The Onondaga Scouter. The titles of these sections were: Daniel Boone Tree Carvings; Buffalo Bill Bull which became Buffalo Bill News; Interlakes District Doin’s; Limestone Limelight, which became the Limestone Ledger in May 1962, then became Limestone Jottings in August 1962 and the Limestone Lantern in January 1963; Kit Carson Jottings; Three Rivers Trivia, which appeared only infrequently and didn’t appear until 1962.
The Scout Executives during this period were Perry S. S. Jackson, 1958 to 1963 and James Early, 1963 to 1968.
1964 – 1969 In May 1964, the Onondaga Scouter announced that there would be a realignment of the districts, to be approved at the June Council Meeting and implemented in September, 1964.
I believe this reorganization was caused by a severe financial crises and the realization that the City of Syracuse did not have the youth to support three districts, that the population was moving to the suburbs. In the January 1965 Onondaga Scouter, the Council Executive wrote: “In 1964, most of our Scout Districts were without Executive Service over 50% of the year. Lack of Executive Service was due to a shortage of funds.” He went on to say that the Executive Board authorized the filling of District Executive positions for all of the districts and found other ways money would be saved and raised.
The total number of Districts remained at six, but their names and boundaries did change. It took until December of 1964 until all the names and boundaries were finalized. The districts were now:
Iroquois District - covered the southern part of the City of Syracuse
Mohawk District - covered the northern part of the City of Syracuse
Seneca District –– Solvay, Onondaga, Lakeland and Baldwinsville. The district was divided into two parts: (a) Essentially a rectangular area composed of the towns of Van Buren and Lysander with the village of Baldwinsville in the center and (b) a narrow strip running southeast through the town of Geddes and the village of Solvay into the northwestern part of the city of Syracuse. This part of the city contained some "inner city".
Interlakes District – Camillus, Skaneateles, Fairmont and Elbridge.
District #5 continued the name Limestone District in November 1964 – Fayetteville, Lafayette, Jamesville, Lyndon and DeWitt.
District # 6 became the Oneida District in December 1964 – Mattydale, Hancock Field, Brewerton, Moyers Corners, Liverpool, Cicero and North Syracuse.
Albert Smith became scout executive in 1968 until June 1972.
1969 – 1972 On October 23, 1969, The Onondaga Council Merged with the Oswego County Council to form the Hiawatha Council. The council number changed to 373. (This number was previously used by the Buffalo Council until 1948 when it merged to form the Buffalo Area Council.) The existing districts were slightly reconfigured and two districts were added. The council now had a total of eight districts.
Iroquois District – still covered the southern part of the city, but the units on Onondaga Hill and Navarino were added to the district.
Mohawk District – still covered the northern part of the City of Syracuse, but now included units in Minoa.
Seneca District – Added St. Peter and Pauls Scout Building, Central Tech High School, the Post at the Syracuse Fire Department.
Interlakes District – Remained the same.
Limestone District – Remained the same.
Oneida – Remained the same.
Arrowhead District – Southern Oswego County, including Fulton, Pennellville, Palermo. Phoenix.
Ontario District – Northern Oswego County, including the City of Oswego, Mexico, Pulaski.
The Scout Executive during this time was Albert L. Smith (1969 – 1972).
1972 – 1974 This district alignment lasted until January 1972, at which time Arrowhead District was renamed Pathfinder District and the Seneca District was eliminated, it’s units going to the Interlakes District or the Iroquois District.
1974 – 1981 Rising inflation, high interest rates, 25 year stock market lows and major corporate layoffs of the 1970’s, resulted in severe financial strains for the Hiawatha Council. Since 1970 expenses exceeded income. To help relieve some of these financial strains the districts were again realigned in 1974. The Mohawk and Pathfinder Districts were eliminated, reducing the total number of district executives and districts to five.
Iroquois District – took over units in the Mohawk District including the Eastwood Section of Syracuse. Iroquois became the district that serviced the city of Syracuse. The district still included Onondaga Hill, Otisco, Indian Reservation, Nedrow and Southwood.
Interlakes District – Stayed the same, but picked up Baldwinsville and Lakeland.
Limestone District – Stayed the same, but picked up East Syracuse, Minoa, Kirkville from the Mohawk District.
Oneida District – Gave up it’s southern Oswego County units to the Ontario District, including Caughdenoy.
Ontario District – Now included all the units in Oswego County.
The Scout Executive during this period was Rendle Metzgar (1975 – 1982).
1981 – 1999 In July of 1981, Limestone and Iroquois Districts were consolidated into one district, Onondaga District. There were no changes in the other district boundaries. The Council was now composed of four districts.
The Scout Executives during this period were Donald Blacker (1982 - 1990), William Moran (1990 – 2000).
1999 – 2010 In 1999 the Hiawatha Council merged with the Seaway Valley Council, retaining council number 373.
The districts in the old Hiawatha Council remained unchanged. The two districts that were added were Tri- Rivers, covering Jefferson and Lewis counties and Northern Lights covering St. Lawrence County.
The Scout Executive during this period was Raymond A. Sander (2000 – 2007)
2010 - Present
The Hiawatha Seaway Council officially merged with the Cayuga County Council in 2010. The name of the new council was changed to Longhouse Council. Cayuga County was added as Cayuga District. This brought the total number of districts in the council to seven. The council executive during this merger was Richard Avery Jr.

Chapter 1, "Network Design," introduces the hierarchical network design model and the Enterprise Composite Network Design model. Recall that the three functions that comprise the hierarchical network design model are the access layer, the distribution layer, and the core layer. The Enterprise Composite Network Model is the name given to the architecture used by the Cisco SAFE blueprint; it supports larger networks than those designed with only the hierarchical model and clarifies the functional boundaries within the network. Three functional areas exist within this model: Enterprise Campus, Enterprise Edge, and Service Provider Edge. Each of these functional areas contains network modules, which in turn can include the hierarchical layers.
Switches within the Enterprise Campus are in all three of the hierarchical layers. Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 switches can be used, depending on a number of factors.
For the access layer, design considerations include the following:
• The number of end-user devices to be supported
• The applications that are being usedthis defines some of the features required in the switches, as well as the performance and bandwidth needed
• The use of VLANs, including whether trunks are required between switches
• Redundancy requirements
For the distribution layer, design factors include the following:
• The number of access switches to be aggregated
• Redundancy requirements
• Features required for specific applications to be supported
• Required interfaces to the core layer
• For Layer 3 switches, the routing protocols to be supported and whether sharing of information among multiple routing protocols is required. (Routing protocols are discussed in detail in Chapter 3.)
The role of the core layer is to provide a high-speed backbone. Thus, the key requirement is the performance needed to support all the access and distribution data. The number of ports to the distribution layer, and the protocols (for example, routing protocols) that need to be supported on those ports, are also important considerations. Redundancy in the core is a typical requirement, to meet the availability needs of the network.
Cisco current campus design recommendations include the following:191
• Layer 2 switches can be used at the access layer, with Layer 3 switches at the distribution and core layers.
• VLANs should not spread across the campus, because this can slow network convergence.
• The core and distribution layers can be combined into one layer (called a collapsed backbone) for smaller networks. Larger campuses should have a separate distribution layer to allow the network to grow easily.
• Redundancy in the core, between the core and distribution layers, and between the distribution and access layers is also recommended. Redundancy can also be used within these layers as required.
Figure 2-12 illustrates a sample small network design that uses Layer 2 switches in the access layer of the campus Building and Server modules. This network features a collapsed backbone in Layer 3 switches. Redundancy is incorporated between all layers.

There was a strange debate at the Ontario Legislature on Monday. It was a disagreement not over policies or a scandal, but over the state of the labour market in Ontario.
Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak said: "Premier, in review of your first year in office, I noticed that Ontario didn't create a single new job, that we lost as many jobs in the province as we gained. … [we're] on the wrong track. We're losing jobs -- 39,000 jobs in December alone."
And Premier Wynne responded: "… he's got his information wrong. There have been 93,000 net new jobs created in this province just in the last year."
So who's right? Is Ontario's labour market recovering like Wynne says, or is it shrinking like Hudak says? And why are there conflicting numbers?

The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District has confirmed the first West Nile virus positive bird reported in Evanston for 2013. The District reported that a bird collected in Evanston earlier this week tested positive for the virus.
To date, West Nile virus positive birds and/or mosquitoes have been reported in 32 Illinois counties. The Illinois Department of Public Health updates county-level data every Wednesday. Details about 2013 cases are available online at www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/wnvsurveillance13.htm.
Last year, 55 counties in Illinois reported a West Nile virus positive mosquito batch, bird and/or human case. For the 2012 season, IDPH reported the second highest number of West Nile virus human cases in state history with 290 residents and 12 deaths. This was second only to the 2002 outbreak in Illinois in which 884 residents contracted West Nile disease and 67 died.
While no human cases of West Nile virus have been reported so far this year, the Evanston Health Department reminds residents that exposure to WNV is a risk throughout the summer months. “Despite the lower level of West Nile Virus activity so far this year as compared to this time last year, we continue to emphasize mosquito prevention measures to Evanston residents,” said Health Department Director Evonda Thomas-Smith.
The best way to prevent West Nile disease or any other mosquito-borne illness is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Precautions include practicing the three “R’s” – reduce, repel and report.
- Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn.
- Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night.
- Eliminate all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including flower pots, wading pools, old tires and any other receptacles. Change water in bird baths weekly.
- When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon, eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.
- Contact the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District at www.nsmad.com to report areas of stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes.
Surveillance for West Nile virus in Illinois includes laboratory tests on mosquito batches, dead crows, blue jays, robins and other perching birds, as well as testing sick horses and humans with West Nile-like disease symptoms.
West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Common West Nile virus symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 50 are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile virus.
Public health officials believe that a hot summer increases mosquito activity and the risk of disease from West Nile virus. Additional information about West Nile virus can be found on the Illinois Department of Public Health’s website at www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/wnv.htm or the City of Evanston Health Department website at www.cityofevanston.org/health.

Egyptians Remain Resilient as Revolution Founders in Uncertainty
On January 24, 2011, Tunisia’s revolution looked like a fluke; I remember thinking that if anything similar happened in Egypt it would be crushed mercilessly.
But now that the first anniversary of Egypt’s January 25 uprising is upon us, it is clear how wrong that assumption was. Egyptians are sceptical about the completion of their revolution but they refuse to be crushed. Indeed, they continue to believe in their own ability to create far-reaching change.
Egyptians’ doubts about the revolution’s progress are evident in the percentage of respondents to Gallup surveys who say they thought their personal lives would improve as a result of former President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation. Two-thirds of Egyptians (66 per cent) said in December 2011 that they thought their lives would improve because of his resignation. This percentage has improved from 51 per cent in September 2011, but remains somewhat lower than the 72 per cent who said so in June 2011.
Egyptians’ optimism about the country’s status internationally has also faded. Three-quarters of Egyptians (74 per cent) said in December 2011 that the country’s status globally would improve, down from 82 per cent in June. These responses register clear disappointment among Egyptians.
Public confidence in the country’s financial institutions and banks is also lower now than it was shortly after the revolution started. Gallup surveys in December 2011 found that 61 per cent of Egyptians have confidence in their country’s financial institutions, down from 69 per cent in March and April. Still, confidence in these organisations is greater now than before the revolution; 43 per cent of Egyptians expressed confidence in financial institutions in October 2010.
Egyptians’ feelings about the country’s economy in general have also deteriorated following an initial improvement after the start of the revolution. About 4 in 10 Egyptians said in December 2011 that the national economy was getting worse, up from 1 in 3 Egyptians who said the same in March and April. This concern about the country’s economy is another sign that people’s hopes and expectations are dropping in Egypt.
In addition to these economic concerns, Egyptians are less likely now than they were pre-revolution to say they feel safe walking along at night in the city or area where they live. In December 2011, 47 per cent of Egyptians said they feel safe walking alone at night. That is lower than in the Mubarak-era. In October 2010, prior to the uprising, 82 per cent of Egyptians said that they felt safe walking alone at night.
These negative shifts in opinion represent a number of challenges ahead. Much of this negativity may be attributable to plausibly unrealistic – although understandable – expectations of what Mr Mubarak’s resignation would mean in the short term. Egyptians’ hope for change was not strong in the later years of his regime, but it was intense after his removal.
Subsequently, expectations were higher. Inevitably, not all of them could be met as quickly as people hoped. Many are unsatisfied with change so far because the revolution’s goals have not been realised.
But there is reason to be optimistic. There is a definite psychological shift afoot in Egyptian society compared with the last months of the Mubarak era. For instance, in December 2011, 93 per cent of Egyptians said that if people worked hard they could get ahead in life. That’s a 12 percentage-point increase from October 2010. Despite everything that has happened, and the failure of Egypt’s rulers to meet the expectations and hopes of their population, Egyptians have a stubborn and deeply held belief in the ability of people to get ahead in life if they work hard. That is raw potential that Egypt’s leaders have yet to harness – a potential that remains one of Egypt’s greatest untapped resources.
I was in Cairo when the Egyptian uprising began a year ago. Egyptian civil society spontaneously and organically showed the world what was possible for human beings who believed in themselves. They provided volunteer medical care for injured protesters; they formed committees to protect their neighbourhoods; their instincts led them to fill many of the roles that the state evacuated overnight. Today, Egyptians still believe in themselves – if anything, they believe in themselves more than they did during the Mubarak era, and just as much as they did at the onset of the revolution.
This belief may bring hope and optimism to those who think Egypt has yet to succeed in its revolution. The country has not yet succeeded in reaching all of the revolution’s stated goals. But the Egyptian people have the tools to accomplish a great deal and teach the world something yet again.

Around 100 protestors are still trapped inside Hong Kong Polytechnic University, after days of confronting the police surrounding the campus. The university has recently been the stage for some of the most dramatic events in the protests which have been going on for seven months. And as Gordon Chang told listeners on Washington Watch Tuesday, "I don't think that we're going to see an end to these protests for quite some time."
Students in the besieged university are desperate to avoid arrest, which the police have often carried out violently. The pro-democracy demonstrators have five demands (one of which was satisfied a few weeks ago). Among them are an investigation into police brutality and universal suffrage, which they currently don't have.
Police violence has only fueled the demonstrations. Chang said, "the protesters who have managed to escape or who weren't on the inside in the first place are extremely angry... But we also can count on Beijing to do things which will anger people in Hong Kong."
Chang is quick to offer examples of what Beijing has done that has rightly angered the residents of Hong Kong. "A couple of days ago Beijing has been issuing statements that the Hong Kong High Court can't interpret the basic law of Hong Kong." These statements only validate the fears protestors have about Beijing's further encroachment into Hong Kong and the end of Hong Kong's special status with some autonomy which has enabled them to thrive. Chang notes that Beijing's reactions to the Hong Kong protests are problematic. "In a number of ways, of course, China looks coercive and belligerent."
In response to these threats to Hong Kong, the U.S. Senate passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act last night, following the House of Representatives' passage of their version of the bill in October. This couldn't come at a more crucial time.
Lawmakers including Representative Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) have been instrumental in passing this legislation, and their efforts to address the threat of Chinese oppression should be applauded. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has urged Trump to personally voice support for the protesters.
The Senate's passage of this bill has provoked a strong reaction from Beijing. Yet, Chang indicates that the international attention and pressure such as that provided by the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act is protecting the protestors from a brutal crackdown. "[Since they are what] I would describe as a tyrannical communist... [a] repressive government, in order to keep it together, they've got to use repressive tactics. But if they do that now with Hong Kong they've got the entire world watching. The only real tool in their tool chest is one they can't use -- at least without consequences."
This is good news for the protestors, such as those at the Polytechnic University, who are trying to voice their desire for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

Your doctor uses a process called staging to learn extensive information about your cancer diagnosis, such as the location of the tumor, its size, whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs, the existence of any biomarkers, and the type or subtype of the cancer. This information will help your doctor develop a prognosis (outlook) and design a treatment plan uniquely for you.
To gather this information, these and other tests may be used:
- Physical exam.
- Tests of blood, urine and body fluids.
- Imaging studies. A positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT) of the chest and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain are routine.
- Tissue biopsy and/or liquid biopsy. Some biopsies are performed with a needle, although certain situations require that part or all of the tumor be removed surgically.
- Biomarker and molecular testing to look for gene alterations and driver alterations.
The pathologist, a doctor trained in identifying diseases by studying cells and tissues under a microscope, will examine your biopsy sample and create a pathology report. It will include results of tissue sample testing and may include results from biomarker testing, tumor molecular analysis or other tests.
Staging usually occurs right after diagnosis, but the tests used for diagnosing and staging may be repeated during treatment to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment or to determine a recurrence. If the cancer returns, some of the original tests, including molecular tests, will be performed again. If a new stage is assigned, it is often preceded by an “r” to denote that it has been restaged and is different from the original stage given at diagnosis.
Lung Cancer Staging Systems
Developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), the AJCC TNM system uses the following categories to stage non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) (see Table 1):
- T category: identifies the primary tumor’s size and location.
- N category: indicates whether lymph nodes show evidence of cancer cells. This is important because it shows how far the disease has progressed.
- M category: describes distant metastasis (spread), if any. Cancer can grow into nearby tissue or travel through lymph vessels or blood vessels to more distant parts of the body. An M subcategory may be added based on the presence of tumor cells that can be detected only by using a microscope or molecular testing.
First, the T, N and M status is reviewed to determine the extent of the cancer. Then, a number is assigned that can range from Stage 0 through Stage IV (see Table 2).
Stage 0 is also known as in situ, and it is a precursor of an invasive cancer. Stages I and II are generally confined to the local area where the cancer is found with or without adjacent lymph node involvement. They are treated as early stage and are considered potentially curable; therefore, every effort should be made to render a cure for these diagnoses. Stage III NSCLC is considered locally advanced, still confined to the chest but having spread to regional lymph nodes outside the lung in the mediastinum. Stage IV is locally or regionally advanced disease that has spread to distant sites, such as the other lung, brain, liver or bone. For illustration purposes, the tumors in the staging illustrations are only shown on one side of the lungs. They may, however, be present in any area of the lungs.
The Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALSG) staging system is commonly used to stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC), although the AJCC TNM system may also be consulted. VALSG divides SCLC into two stages:
Limited-stage SCLC is confined to one part of the chest, in just one part of the lung and in nearby lymph nodes. It is considered Stages I to III in the AJCC TNM staging system.
Extensive-stage SCLC has spread to other parts of the body, such as the area between the lungs, the other lung, or outside of the chest, such as to the brain or bone. It is considered to be Stage IV in the AJCC TNM staging system.

Finally wrapped up the test board build! What I thought was going to be a simple resistor bank build ended up taking on a mind of its own and ended up becoming a test board. Either way though I was sick of this build I am glad I did it. For those of you tuned in thank you and here is the conclusion:
1st we had to get lead wires from the bank to the connecting studs. Nice healthy 12 gauge. Terminals on, rings connected. Mock up on board in addition to the gauges.
Laid down the lines for the B+ and Ground dist blocks. Then drilled out pilot holes
Take it to paint!:
1st the Fan install:
Now it’s time for the gauges. From top to bottom, Volt, Volt, Temp, Amp:
Install temp Probe in resistor bank:
Attach Bank to board and pull through temp probe wires:
Now start running leads through the test board to the back:
Install connecting studs, bridging straps and nuts:
Time to connect leads to studs:
Attach power, ground and battery trace:
Lay it out and look it over:
Now that that’s done comes the solution to turning on the meters. I could have gone with simple rockers or toggles but I chose a $20 solution to a $2 problem! This is a 4 way power distribution hub. The temp meter and fan will be wired directlt to this via button 1 nd 2. Since the volt meters are tapped directly to the sources I want measurements from they will be a negative trip which means I need two relays. Could have used one but why make it easy? lol:
load testing speaker outputs without a sub/speaker. personally, i would have a gauge for ac output with banana pins and common banana/spring, or banana/twist binding posts, as amps are not really needed, but i suppose just using the alligator clips on a meter works, too, lol. looks clean bro. first thought is that the heatsink would serve better for one of my chipped rockfords, but it's nice to be able to show it off on the bench, too "eye candy"
Only a purely resistive load will have a 100% power factor on any frequency tested. Whenever you clamp power using typical methods, you are calculating volt-amperes, not watts. If the voltage and current are really really out-of-phase you could measure, for example, 1000 volt-amperes but at a 25% power factor, hence really only 250 watts. In very very rare circumstances, people who clamp woofers have close to 100% power factor, but most do not. Actually you can assume, other than for the sake of comparison relative to other woofers/amplifiers in the same vehicle tested on the same frequency on the same electrical (like how T Fade uses his same car and similar woofers/boxes to clamp different amps for the sake of relative tests), that most clamp tests are more of a waste of time than useful tests.

Can I eat seaweed when I am pregnant?
Yes! Seaweed is a natural source of iodine and it is safe to consume as long as you are aware of which seaweed could potential excessive amount of iodine such as kelp therefore kelp supplement is never recommended during pregnancy.
According to a report conducted by Food Standards Australia in 2016, it is estimated that 65% of Australian mothers might not be consuming sufficient iodine during pregnancy and breastfeeding even after mandatory iodine fortification in bread. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should consume 220ug and 270ug of iodine respectively every day since the mineral plays an important role in thyroid function such as thyroid hormone production. Iodine is crucial for the foetus’ brain and nervous system development. Inadequate iodine intake may impact the baby’s mental capacity after birth, and result in intellectual impairment, which are generally irreversible.
Can babies and children eat dry seaweed?
What about children? Young children from 0-13 years old requires 90-120 ug iodine a day which is 60-80% of what an adult is required. To ensure sufficient iodine intake for healthy brain development, small amount of unsalted seaweed flakes could be added in babies’ diet once started solids between 4 to 6 months. For toddlers and young children, the nutritious sea veggies could serve as a natural source for beneficial nutrients such as dietary fibre, calcium, iron, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. Including seaweed in children’s diet could ensure ingestion of multiple important vitamins and minerals. Besides, crispy and tasty seaweed snacks could serve as healthy alternatives to the family’s snacking.
Here are 3 tips to add seaweed in your little one’s diets:
#1 Sprinkle Rainbow Seaweed flakes on pasta, rice, eggs, and veggies, sushi
#2 Sprinkle Rainbow Seaweed Rice Seasoning on rice, salad, noodle, sushi and eggs
#3 Include the Rainbow Seaweed Seedy Bites in lunchboxes or afterschool snack

At this stage the architect is elaborating the floorplans in order to accomodate the functions, and is collaborating with the structural engineer and the cladding manager for the final outcome.
The cladding is now formulated at the base of a component which will fit a performance oriented design, as stated in the initial fase.The hexagon has been selected as optimal, in terms of economy (saving material), architectural effect and sustainable performance. The hexagons will create the inlets and outlets of the air, clad the major part of the facade and formulate a moving component which will react to the velocity and direction of the prevailing wind. A shaft will then drive the wind through the openings into the building and release it at the highest point of the roof.
The calculation of the volume and cross-section areas through Rhino facilitate the design of the wind path.
The structure is following the layers and is translating the two-part concept into two basic construction areas. Parametric design and GSA are being used for the basic shapes and the calculations.
|applying a grid:digitalizing architecture|
|elaboration of the details: designing and calculating the wind passage throught the stadium|
|cladding design: first approach|
ASCD, or Architecture-Structure-Cladding-Digital Design
We have to define the parameters in order to prevent chaos..or otherwise to prevent something like this..
Our basic goal is to design a stadium that responds to the wind.. the facade has to alter when the velocity or direction change.. each single component on the skin of the building will have then to regulate its position and help direct or even accelerate the wind.. and the structure needs to be combatible with the inside functions and the performance of the outside skin.
all these aspects need to be combined and parametrized.
Architecture is no more static
The cladding will consist of components that move
The structure is conceived so that it will help to accelerate the windflow inside the building.
the parameters are set: dimensions of the components, their distribution on the facade,control of the heights and lengths of the layers.
The basic idea is that we can make a stadium out of layers...such an approach will be handy for the architectural design and the structure.
-The stadium could be like this..says the architect.
-I can figure out a structure..says the structural engineer.
-My cladding can perform for two goals: architecture and sustainability..says the cladding engineer.-I will combine your concepts on a core model so that the workflow is also layered,not only the stadium..says the digital design manager.
basic concept:urban integration
According to our urban analysis, the surrounding area could be divided in three zones. The industrial area at the east, the core of the city at the west, and an intermediate zone, primarily housing.The stadium is placed on a passageway from the indusrty to the iconic buildings of the city centre.Its architectural image should therefore express this transition.
Changes in its structure, its cladding or its geometry will be used in order to achieve this design goal.
Is that all with urban integration?
-No! We want the stadium to react to the environment, not just integrate!
-Then it will react to the movement of the wind,as if its trying to catch the atmosphere of the city!
-And the wind will produce energy!


The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) member Rai has opened its doors to the first European multi-site 5G Broadcast showcase delivering the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) live to 5G Broadcast enabled personal phones.
Rai in Turin joins ORS/ORF in Vienna, France Télévisions in Paris, and SWR/ARD in Stuttgart, who are also running 5G Broadcasts with live ESC content. The trials showcase how live content could be efficiently distributed to mass audiences over 5G.
EBU Members are being assisted by the technology providers Rohde & Schwarz, Qualcomm Technologies Inc. and Ateme. Running throughout the week of events, the 5G Broadcast test transmissions consist of live content produced by Rai in Turin, encoded by Ateme at EBU HQ in Geneva and distributed to SWR in Stuttgart, France Télévisions in Paris and ORS in Vienna. At each city, transmitters from Rohde & Schwarz will bring the signal over-the-air to test smartphones supplied by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Commenting on the trials, Antonio Arcidiacono, EBU director of technology & innovation said: “5G Broadcast offers big opportunities to the whole media value chain and there’s no better way to showcase this technology than at the EBU’s flagship event – the Eurovision Song Contest. With its flexibility, free-to-air reception, compatibility with existing broadcast networks and seamless integration with 5G devices, it represents an important step in building truly hybrid networks for the benefit and safety of global media consumers”.
The EBU notes that the 5G Broadcast solution is built on the 3GPP Rel-16 feature-set, operating in a Receive-Only Mode (ROM), Free-To-Air (FTA) and without the need for a SIM card (SIM-free reception). The 5G Broadcast dedicated mode will be demonstrated with a standalone broadcast infrastructure operating within the UHF band.

My first encounter with this phrase exuding energy as well as the special charm of Latin happened in 2011. Such is the title of one of the episodes of the Canadian TV series Being Erica, in which the protagonist, thanks to the superpower of time travel her therapist Dr Tom possesses, learns to enjoy the present, without worrying about the past or future.
The phrase was coined by Horace in his poem ‘Tu ne quaesieris’, published in 23 BC. The verse is addressed to a lady worrying about her future. Its closing line reads: ‘Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero’, which translates as, ‘Seize the day, trusting tomorrow as little as possible.’
So, carpe diem/ˌkɑːpeɪ ˈdiːɛm/ – you only live today once, so don’t waste it!

When many prospective Florida homeowners think about their future roof, chances are they are envisioning a classic Florida-style tile roof. Tile roofing is extremely prominent in the state. Just take a look at any picture from a southeast Florida neighborhood and you’ll notice that most of them use clay and concrete tiles! Reddish hued clay tiles can be found from the northern Panhandle down to the tip of the Florida Keys. Florida homeowners love the cosmetic benefits that this roofing style provides. Tile roofing is also unique as it offers home and commercial business owners a great variety of different options to suit their needs. Here are a couple of the most common types of roofing tile available in Florida.

Old Time Roofing has provided roof repair services for over four decades, making us a trusted and reliable choice for homeowners. Our team of expert roofers can quickly identify and repair any roofing problems, ensuring that the roof is safe, functional, and protected from the elements.
Clay Tile Roofing
When most people imagine quintessential Florida tile roofs, clay tiles most definitely come to mind first. Clay tiles are actually an incredibly old invention. Humans have been using this roofing material to dress their roofs since ancient times. If we’re still using the idea still in the modern day, clay tiles must hold some merit to them. Clay tile roofing is a very stylish roofing option that is also incredibly customizable as well! You can get clay roofing tiles in almost any color or size you need. The most popular color in the state is definitely the reddish hue. But other color options look great as well! Clay tiles are loved for their eco-friendliness. They only require natural materials to create, lowering emissions from non-natural materials! Really, the only negative a homeowner is incurring with clay tile is a higher installation cost due to the complexity of the installation process. Old Time Roofing has countless years of experience handling tile roof installations all across the state. We’re the perfect solution if a tile roof is what you want for your dream home!
Concrete Tile Roofing
Concrete tile roofs are more of a modern invention. By mixing cement water and sand together, a durable, long lasting roofing tile is made! This type of roofing retains the durability of clay tile and also tends to last longer as well! While not as aesthetically pleasing as their clay counterparts, they definitely make up for it in their cost factor; concrete is much easier to source than all natural clay and as a result contractors can charge less for installation! Installation of concrete roofing tiles is also much easier, requiring labor, also helping you save on costs! Concrete is the economical choice between the two choices but do not fooled, cheaper is not worse with this roofing option!
Tile roofing is an excellent and popular option for Florida for good reason, it is extremely durable, long lasting, and resistant against the elements that plague Florida yearly. Tile roofs are some of the best solutions for handling the ever present threat that the Atlantic hurricane season poses to Florida homes, they come only second to metal roofs in the speed of wind that they are able to withstand before compromising; up to 130/MPH for clay and concrete roofing tiles!

Today, there’s so much excitement and noise about digital currency or cryptocurrency, and there’s no indication this frenzy will go away anytime soon. Some experts even say that digital currency is the most revolutionary invention since the birth of the internet. So, what is this digital currency and how does it work? Here’s an absolute beginner’s guide into to the world of cryptocurrency.
What is digital currency exactly?
To fully understand digital currency you must first learn about Bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first digital currency created in 2009 by an individual (or a group of individuals) who call themselves Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is designed to be used just like any cash online, except that transactions are made without theinterference of a third party such as a bank. This means that people can buy things online completely anonymously. Another characteristic of Bitcoin and other digital currency is that the value is not tied to a country. One Bitcoin is worth the same anywhere in the world. Today, there are many other cryptocurrencies you can invest in beside Bitcoin, and all of them are doing great on the market.
Is it safe?
Most of the people who want to own digital currency wonder if it’s safe to use. The answer is absolutely yes, as long as you know how to use it right. Blockchain technology makes digital currency almost impossible to copy or use to commit fraud. However, that doesn’t mean your cryptocurrency can’t be stolen. Cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets can be penetrated. If that happens, it’s really hard to catch the perpetrator because of digital currency’s anonymity.
How to invest in digital currency?
If you’re interested in investing in digital currency, you usually have to make an exchange to buy it. Buying money with money might sound crazy, but cryptocurrency actually behaves more like an investment than traditional money. It’s more like buying gold or silver. You don’t go to a bank to buy gold, but you dabble in thestock exchange.
In order to buy digital currency, you must go to an exchanger. An exchanger is a person who exchanges regular money for electronic currency or one electronic currency for another. Simply put, you take your dollars or pounds or any other currency and exchange them forcryptocurrency. Your exchanger will take a fee for completing your transaction and you’re good to go. This is the whole process of buying digital currency and becoming a proud holder. It’s actually much easier than traditional stock exchange.
What else can exchanger do?
Aside from exchanging, exchanger can also offer professional advice. Brokers usually offer elaborate charts and statistics on different cryptocurrencies and their performance on the market. Experienced exchangers can give advice whether it’s the good time to sell and buy digital currency or just let your investment rest for the time being.
How to choose the right exchanger?
There’s no one definite advice on that. You have to do your own research online, check the reputation of different exchangers, see if they are vulnerable to hacker attacks and how’s their customer support. Even though themajority of investors have positive experiences with exchangers and cryptocurrency, there are no absolutely safe investments.
Can I see my balance?
Yes. Most exchangers offer virtual wallets where you store and handle your digital currency. With a wallet, you can check your balance anytime and make transactions with other investors and businesses that accept payment in cryptocurrency. However, you don’t have to hold a wallet with your exchanger. You can look around until you find a wallet that satisfies your needs. Every time you sign up for a wallet, ask about their security and safety measures. Also, make sure your wallet is stored offline when not in use. This is one of the easiest ways to avoid hackers and stop them from getting to your investment.
Is Bitcoin (or any Cryptocurrency) a Permitted IRA Asset?
Yes, you can hold Bitcoin in an IRA.
While IRS guidelines on IRA investments are at least a little bit fuzzy in regard to Bitcoin, current guidelines permit all but the following asset types to be included in a Roth or traditional IRA:
- Metals – with exceptions for certain kinds of bullion
- Coins – (but there are exceptions for certain coins)
- Alcoholic beverages
- Certain other tangible personal property
Bitcoin doesn’t fit under any of those categories – at least not neatly. Since the IRS has yet to specifically rule on the acceptability of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in retirement plans, the retirement industry is moving slowly – and cautiously – toward acceptance.
Remember that the IRS doesn’t specifically approve what you can hold in your IRA (but they do specifically prohibit collectibles). So be aware of anyone stating they have ‘IRS Approved‘ investments. You can read the complete article here.
It’s obvious that you don’t need to be The Wolf of Wall Street to become a successful digital currency investor. You just need to do some research and be smart, and you’re probably come out as a winner.

Johan Radcliffe describes himself as a “family man, adventurer and entrepreneur”. Fifteen years ago, Johan’s love of adventure led him to start his own adventure travel company. He has helped travellers from all over discover amazing experiences in South Africa. We asked him to share where his passion for travel started and where adventure tourism is going.
Q & A with Johan:
Where did your love for travel start?
I was blessed to have parents who loved travelling, especially in South Africa and our neighbouring countries. Being a difficult teenager, I did not always appreciate the long road trips, but they certainly laid the foundation for my career in travel. Now we put our kids through the same pain. Hopefully, in 20 years, they will look back and appreciate the holidays.
Why do you enjoy working in the industry?
The money! I know you all find that funny. To be honest, it’s about sharing what we have to offer. There is a reason we are the destination with the most return travellers. When you sell insurance, your clients will never be smiling; it is a grudge purchase. When you sell a holiday, clients may arrive a little stressed, but invariably will send you a letter of appreciation after their memorable trip to Southern Africa.
What is your favourite place to visit?
The Okavango Swamp wetlands in Botswana. It is one of the few places without fences in Africa where you can see the animals roaming free like they did millennia ago. The combination of water and land activities makes for an awesome safari experience. The policy of keeping visitor numbers low also contributes significantly to the experience.
Tell us about one of your most memorable travel experiences.
I am spoilt for choice here, but I would have to return to Botswana to answer this question. We embarked on a very different family holiday in Botswana a few years ago. The kids, in our eyes, were just the right ages, 8 and 5 years old. Yes, it is tough growing up in the Radcliffe family. We left our car in Maun and cycled to the top of the Okavango panhandle; this took about a week. We then climbed onto a flat bottom boat and spent a week on the water, trans Okavango back to our car. The kids will never forget pushing their bikes down elephant paths to find campsites and listening to the Lions roar at night.
Your best travel tip?
Get out of the car! Another one of my secrets is that I use Google Earth to plan my holidays.
Based on the five senses and thinking about travelling, what do you…
- Like to see: Any historic building where I am the only tourist exploring it
- Like to taste: Authentic Thai dishes
- Like to feel: Warm tropical water
- Like to hear: The African night sounds while you are camping
- Like to smell: The potato bush. I’m not sure of the scientific name, but that is what we call it
Where should travellers get inspiration?
This one is easy; I produce the best resource out there. It is called Dirty Boots (www.dirtyboots.co.za)! Here you will find any commercial adventure available to travellers visiting South Africa.
Tell us something about yourself that no one else knows.
I love classical music; great concerts bring me to tears. I hate social media.
What do you love about Africa Travel Week (WTM Africa?
Travel shows will return to normality because they evolved that way; people need personal contact to create confidence in long-term business relationships. Having WTM in my city and making it the most accessible travel show to attend is what I love most about it. I can sleep at home with my family.

Hey guys! Yesterday I shared some photos of all the treats Jenny and I managed to find during our quick weekend in San Diego. On Sunday we left sunny San Diego and continued our informal SoCal bakery tour up the coast to Orange County and Newport Beach. Newport Beach is lucky enough to have Jenny as a full-time resident, and she knew all the places we should hit. Our first stop was her new fav, A Market.
By the way, sorry for the Instagram overload these past two posts. It’s an addicting new toy and I can’t stop playing with it! I personally love the photos, but I love the big camera photos too. Thank you for indulging me. I promise I’ll be taking my big camera back to California soon and it might even need a passport later this month. But more on that later!
We got some delicious cookies here, including a giant homemade Oreo. My favorite was the peanut butter cookie, so yum!
Okay, this was the cutest little place. As the name suggests, they have mini, personal-sized bundt cakes in a variety of flavors, all with a cream cheese based frosting. You guys know I’m more of a buttercream frosting fan, but the red velvet cake we had here was out of the world, I’ve never tasted a red velvet cake as yummy as this one.
Now. Jenny and I have been to a lot of bakeries, but I can honestly say that 85°C was a first.
Check out the insane line for this place, I’ve never been to a bakery with a bouncer at the door!
When we finally made it inside, we loaded up our tray with tons of goodies like this swiss roll and coffee creme brulee cake.
And this massive cream puff! We also got a few savory things, and if I went back, I’d definitely go for the savory. Not sure the sweets we tried were worth the wait, but just their plain, giant slice of toast was life changing. This place is definitely a carb-lovers dream come true!
On Monday morning Jenny treated me to a huge stack of her fabulously fluffy buttermilk pancakes with Nutella and homemade buttermilk syrup. Both of these recipes will be in her new cookbook which hits to stores next year, and I seriously cannot wait to get it in my hands.
Speaking of Jenny’s cookbook, after breakfast we popped by Matt Armendariz’s studio in Long Beach — they’re shooting Jenny’s cookbook this week — for a quick peek behind the scenes of her cookbook shoot. I even got to sample a few of the recipes they were photographing that day. Did I mention how much I cannot wait for this book to come out? Loved their gorgeous, organized prop room!
After the shoot we stopped by Frosted Cupcakery in Long Beach. We’re never sure what to expect, but all I can say is wow! We loved every single one of these cupcakes. That does not happen often! Up front is the salted caramel toffee cupcake and it blew me away. Way in the back was a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting topped with crushed Butterfingers. Knocked my socks off. We also ordered two vanilla cupcakes — one with Nutella frosting and the other with vanilla buttercream — the vanilla bean cake for these two cupcakes might be my favorite ever.
We had one more cupcake stop for the day, The Cupcake Store in Mission Viejo. Last November Jenny and I met up at Downtown Disney and they had a cupcake kiosk set up. Here are the photos from our day there. The funfetti cupcake was seriously one of my favorite cupcakes ever. I was so excited to go to the bakery in Mission Viejo and sample more from them.
Here we have Night and Day, Celebration (funfetti), Vanilla Bean, and Peanut Butter. These cupcakes definitely rank up there in my top favorites. Loved this cute shop.
On my last day in California I woke up at Jenny’s to the smell of her cinnamon streusel topped pumpkin bread baking in the oven.
Let me just linger on that for a moment.
I woke up to the smell of cinnamon streusel topped pumpkin bread baking in the oven.
Oh my word. Talk about the most incredible aroma ever. The most delicious bread ever. The most life altering experience in my pitiful carb-loving existence. I was rendered speechless and left with nothing but moans and groans upon inhaling this slice of pure ecstasy.
Sorry. But it’s true.
And yet somehow we still had room for brunch before I left for Alabama. Can you see what I loved about Plums Cafe? The font, of course! We split the Santa Fe eggs benedict and this massive dutch-baby pancake. My favorite was the savory again, the chipotle cilantro hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict was fabulous! I need this in my life. I guess I am used to my southern upbringing and savory breakfasts, every morning my mom fixed eggs, grits, toast and bacon before school.
We had time for one last quick bakery stop before I had to head back to Alabama. They had to pry me out of California kicking and screaming. Susie Cakes was absolutely adorable. There were too many fun treats, I wanted to try them all. The peanut butter cookie sandwich with peanut butter buttercream frosting was divine. The funfetti cake was heaven. The ice cream cone shaped frosted sugar cookie was perfection. And the sugar cookie up front with the little ice cream cone cut out — the pink frosting was strawberry flavored and the other was chocolate — was glorious.
This sweet, crazy face was waiting for me at the airport when I landed back home. I missed this little munchkin.

Star Wars is pretty much done and dusted for now in Disney Infinity 3.0, until next month that is. But between interactive trilogies, there are other figures being released in the Disney Infinity 3.0 line. Figures from other properties, and previous playsets. And this month, we’re getting the chance to say hi to Veronica…
You’ve already had a taste of Disney Infinity 3.0, a game that is making full use of a great license to deliver another fantastic entry in that franchise. The initial wave of figures focused primarily on the Prequel trilogy and the hit cartoon series Star Wars Rebels. But like most folks, you probably grew up on the Old Trilogy of Star Wars.
This year, the Disney empire strikes back with the long-awaited Star Wars addition to Infinity. 3.0 features Jedi, Sith and rebels galore as the galaxy expands. Just like in previous editions, there’s a deep rabbit hole to consider before taking the plunge, as Disney Infinity 3.0 features numerous other characters, expansions and power discs.
I’m still neck-deep in Disney Infinity 3.0, which is going all-out this year to deliver as much Star Wars content as possible. And honestly, I have no complaints about that. Because while Star Wars may rule the roost this year, there’s still plenty of room for other Disney properties to make a debut. So let’s crack the shells off of these mint-on-card figures, and go play in the toybox!

Last Saturday, a friend and I drove to Townsend. We parked in the lot right before the Backporch Restaurant when you enter town and rode our bikes about three miles up to the Wye, where the road forks into the Smokies.
There were people everywhere near and in the river, as it bends out of the park and makes its way toward Townsend. Friends and family were triumphing over the heat and having a wonderful time in the process.
I jumped off a rock into the cold water and looked up. There on a grass-covered bank sat several people; I couldn't help but think of the painting below.- the Smoky Mountain version of A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Seurat. We may be more like the man lounging in the lower left corner than the prim and proper men and women scattered about, but in a way, I'm glad for that.
