Current projects
This week will prove to be a busy one. With the assistance of Tracy W7BSD, a significant modification will occur. A tower climb is planned to install a pair of coax grounding kits. These will ground the hard-line feed-line to the tower assembly. A portion of the hard-line jacket will be removed and a shield grounding kit will then bond the corrugated shield of the hard-line to the metal structure of the tower. This will be both at the top of the tower and near the bottom. Wind blowing across the feed-line causes static build-up, and the associated noise on the repeater. The grounding kits will discharge the static to the tower which then is grounded to the earth at the base of the tower in 3 locations. Lightning strikes will also be dissipated by the same manner.
Planned work will also include the redressing of the hard-line to the brass terminators. An engineered tool will prep the hard-line coax perfectly to redress the ends. This is the extent of the coax work planned.
An additional 3 filters will be inserted into the receiver feed-line. Because of the massive RF environment present at Spout Springs, additional filtering is expected to further isolate the receiver from the transmitter. A 4 cavity band-pass filter is already installed on the receive side of the repeater, allowing only the ham band thru to the repeaters receiving radio. This is 4 MHz wide, 144 - 148 MHz. The additional 3 pass/reject filters will further restrict the only frequency to the repeaters receive frequency to 146.200. This is expected to greatly minimize the amount of desense the repeater is experiencing.
The link radio that couples the Oregon and Washington repeaters, will have a frequency and mode change. Currently, the digital mode C4FM is used to send traffic back and forth between the repeaters. The link will now be an analog emission, and be on a lower frequency.; This will improve the audio quality of traffic being received from either repeater. The audio difference will be noticeable, and the robotic, muddy quality will be gone.
The SSRA greatly appreciates the assistance provided by Tracy Bales W7BSD, and the time he volunteers to the SSRA. This is truly a labor of love for the system and we recognize him and his commitment to the success of the system.
11/24/16 Thanksgiving Morning (2:30 AM)
We realized a few hours ago that something was wrong with the Spout Springs Repeater. The repeater would stay transmitting after a remote station had un-keyed. This is not a good sign, especially when it is dark, Thanksgiving Eve, and travel plans are near. It was determined that the charging circuit in the Yaesu Repeater was NOT trickle charging the emergency backup batteries as we had though was happening. The link radio between Tri-Cities and Spout was powered with the emergency batteries. As they were slowly being discharged (dying) the link radio would at times power off entirely, as it did not have enough power to stay "awake". This caused the controllers radio port 3 COR to go high, indicating an incoming signal from Tri-Cities. When an incoming signal from Tri-Cities is present, the repeater keys up and re-transmits the traffic on the 146.800 repeater at Spout. Someone was going to have to go investigate. Stephen WM7X drew the short straw that night and planned a late night trip to the hill. On a good day, the trip would take 2 hours. Once all the materials were assembled, the trip began at midnight Thanksgiving Eve. Roads were treacherous and the snow was deep at the repeater. It took several attempts just to get through the gate due to the snow accumulation, and drifts. Once at the repeater, Stephen began recharging the batteries with 2 separate battery chargers, while the necessary wiring was completed to ensure the batteries would get charged, and stay charged. The EZ Gate 80 charging system was reinstalled and a Low Voltage Disconnect was also reintroduced to the system. Now, if the power if off for an extended period of time, the system will not allow the batteries to go below 10.5 volts. Once at that critical voltage, the repeater will be down until commercial AC power is restored. The batteries charges for about 3 hours, and then were put back in line. The charging system then took over and the over $2000 batteries were spared! Leaving the hill, in now deeper snow and drifts was just as interesting as the tracks Stephen made in the snow were now mostly covered up. Once safely off the hill, tired and rummy from the adventure, the last repeater trip of the year was completed. It nearly did not happen that night, and plans would have been for a snowshoeing trip had this one failed.
With the assistance of many, the SSRA placed a new repeater on the air in Pasco! At the annual meeting in August, the association voted to proceed on a new repeater system that would cover more of the Tri-Cities and areas to the West and North, in Washington state. A lengthy effort began, and came to realization today. The new Pasco repeater is on 146.620 MHz and uses a tone of 123 for access. The repeater install is nearly the same as the repeater site at Spout Springs. Another Yaesu Fusion DR-1X repeater, controlled externally with an SCOM 7330 controller, and a Yaesu link radio, completes the install. This configuration describes both repeater locations, at Spout and Pasco. The old SSRA Spout repeater antenna that was replaced a couple years ago, was rebuilt and repurposed, and utilized at the new Pasco site. Wacom Cavities, that were once at the Spout site, were re-tuned for Pasco, and are again in service. Hundreds of feet of feed-line were donated, with fittings, for this project. A tower and the housing for the repeater are also being provided by a NON-HAM! This has been a lengthy project with many challenges. Costs have been very reasonable, as all of the labor, mileage and related costs have also been donated. Costs for the new site will reach nearly $2K for new site, and integration into the existing Spout repeater. Plans also include a higher tower, and internet service in Pasco. Pictures will soon be posted as well. Thanks to Jack Myers, Les Sousley, Steve Johnson, Tracy Bales, John Schwab, Marc Shaffer, and Andy Lord for their generous assistance in this project.
SSRA Member and Net controller Nate Dawson has assembled and published a FACEBOOK group page for the association. Nate has been gathering content for the page. As we complete projects and association related activities, photos/videos will then be published on the website as well as on facebook. Thanks Nate for your contributions to the SSRA! You are greatly appreciated. Take a few moments to check us out on facebook and be sure to stay up-to-date, by clicking on "LIKE".
5/13/16 John (WB7JON) and Stephen (WM7X) fought snow drifts/banks, and fallen trees across the access road to access our repeater site. John thoughtfully brought his chainsaw to remove trees from the roadway. After getting stuck in the snow several times, we finally reached the repeater to install a new Yaesu DR-1X repeater, recently purchased by the association. This we will call the 2016 repeater. The old repeater (we will call it the 2015) installed last November was swapped out with this 2016 version. The 2016 repeater installed today has a few upgrades to it. A new firmware on the internal controller has given us a much shorter and adjustable squelch tail. The 2015 repeater will be shipped back to Yaesu in California, for its upgrades in hardware and firmware. This is being done under warranty, and the only expense to the SSRA will be in shipping. The SCOM 7330 Controller will be installed at the repeater site as soon as the old repeater is received back from Yaesu. Then the fun begins! Wires-X, IRLP and Echolink will all soon be available. Broadband internet service will usher in a wave of new features and upgrades to the association's membership. The Scom 7330 controller has been programmed and has already proven itself in bench testing on the 2016 repeater prior to its install today. The 7330 controller will also be installed at the site once the 2015 repeater is returned from Yaesu. The association will then have 2 fully functioning repeaters, identical in every way. If one was to fail, another can be placed into service with only a a power cord and 2 coax antenna connectors to swap. No wiring, no soldering, no configurations.
Interestingly, while at the repeater site today, we noticed that the National Weather Service Automated Weather Reporting System (NOAA WX RADIO) was being heard on the 146.800 frequency VERY clearly. Even on the repeaters input frequency, the NWS station could be heard. This points to an obvious issue with something in their operations, and we will reach out to them ASAP. The APRS (AUTOMATIC PACKET REPORTING SYSTEM) station at the repeater site was also taken off-line, until it can be properly filtered and isolated from the SSRA repeater. Again, many thanks to the association for making all of this possible! Your membership, and financial donations are what drive these upgrades.
11/15/15 The new S-Com 7330 Controller for the new repeater has been received and will be programmed soon. Once programmed, the controller will be installed at the repeater site and offer the repeater a squelch tail, static burst elimination and the return of a courtesy tone. Weather is a great concern this time of year, and safety of the crew performing this task will be paramount. Considerable time, monies and other resources have been dedicated to this project and we will see it through to completion. Broadband internet will also soon be available (weather permitting) and offer the SSRA many more enhancements to the repeater system. Upgrades being considered are IRLP and Wires-X and Echolink nodes. With broadband, weather monitoring is also being considered. Two internet cameras are already on site and should be available for viewing by members soon. Please remember this is a hobby and it is funded entirely by your voluntary contributions. None of the repeaters recent upgrades or enhancements would have been possible had it not been for the generous help from our repeater users. Thank you for your help in making all of this possible!
11/05/15 The new Yaesu repeater has been placed into service at the Spout Springs Repeater site. It is also on battery back-up and is currently at full power 50 Watts. Although the repeater is only using its internal controller, we have ordered a new S-Com 7330, for external control and added features. Presently we have NO COURTESY TONE, and the SQUELCH TAILS are extended and a bit loud. This will be corrected when the controller is programmed and placed into service in the next few weeks. Please remember to allow some time between transmissions, in the absence of the courtesy tone. More improvements coming soon. A special thanks to Gordon KK3O for his technical contributions to this entire project!
UPDATE 10/26/15~ The Yaesu DR-1X has been received by the SSRA and has passed bench testing. An external controller was also ordered on Saturday October 24th. Once the controller is received, it will go through programming and interfacing, for it to communicate with the repeater.
The SSRA membership has approved at the annual business meeting, the application for a new Yaesu System Fusion DR-1X repeater. The application, and payment of $500 was made in August, and the SSRA application was quickly approved. On August 18 2015, we were notified that our repeater is back-ordered and is expected to be delivered in 8-10 weeks. In the meantime, we have educated ourselves on the new system and how to seamlessly integrate it into our current configuration at the transmitter location. Click image below for exciting features of our new repeater.
The repeater needs to be controlled remotely, as its' operating location is not readily accessible. Although the repeater has an basic controller for simple functions, it falls short due to its' location, in our need to control it remotely. As a result, we must use an external controller. The external controller most recommended is an S-Com 7330. This $499 unit is a huge upgrade from the current 5K controller on the old GE Mastr II currently in service. The new controller will offer many upgrades and improvements of features on the repeater. In addition to a voice module (for voice ID, announcements, net schedules, etc) it has capabilities to control up to 3 repeaters. The controller will be controlled as well by a link radio, generously donated by Vern WB7RXX in Ephrata Washington. Yes, a controller that needs controlled. click the picture of the controller below for more information on it.
An upgrade also planed is that the repeater building will have internet service soon! This will be one of the biggest upgrades that the SSRA has ever seen! Eastern Oregon Internet Inc. has generously offered the SSRA, an internet feed. This will greatly improve our capabilities with the new repeater. Remote monitoring, visual inspection of repeater site, internet linking and greater control over the repeaters controller will soon be available. This is a huge benefit to the SSRA and is made possible by our friends at www.eoni.net.
ECHO-TESTING! A much anticipated feature of the new controller will also add echo-testing to the repeater. No more will a station wonder how well they are "getting into" the repeater. No more will station "Ker-Chunk" the repeater to see if they can hit it. Interestingly, just because a repeater responds to a "Ker-Chunker", does NOT indicate that they can be reliably heard. With echo-testing, a user keys a tone (command to record) into the repeater (controller actually) and then simple talks. When the user un-keys their radio, the controller plays back over the repeater what it just heard! No more will you have to ask for a signal report into the repeater or have someone tell you you are just too weak to hear. You will already know. It is a feature that has been available for many years, but the antiquated equipment we have will not support.
Weather Nets and Skywarn Nets will have greater control over the repeater. During Skywarn Nets, the repeater can "whisper" "Skywarn Net" frequently over the repeater to indicate that a weather event is occurring.
Time and/or date announcements at the top of the hour. Net schedules. Club announcements. Net reminders. And a countless other options are going to be soon available. Your repeater is going to have a voice, literally!
Building upgrades. Sheetrock was recently hung on the interior of the building. This will not only add a small measure of insulating R value to the shack, but will also assist in the rodent problem as well. Photos of this are on the home page. Click on the "photos" button.
Old Antenna. The old SSRA antenna that was uninstalled from the tower in August of 14, is in need of rebuilding. A new gel-coat of fiberglass needs to be applied to the existing fiberglass tube. It is still a viable antenna that will still serve as a backup antenna. If anyone knows how, or can offer assistance or advise in this area, please let us know. View the old antenna condition in the photos page, folder is titled "Radial Install".

As Will Smith would say, I'm going to Miami.
Seeing that it's the Friday before Jesus Eve, it's basically a ghost town around the office. And you know what that means! We all get to leave early! And that basically means.... going to the gym at 1, packing earlier then expected, knitting hats and stick shift cozies while watching the shows I missed yesterday, and getting drunk before I spend a week with the folks.
My art director is too nice. She got me saki shot glasses. They are pretty much awesome and I love them! Don't you love those kind of gifts, where you weren't expecting anything but a card and then low and behold you get saki glasses!! She rocks! The holidays rule! I haven't been depressed once about it! Horray for everything!!!
Let's all pray for warm, sunny weather in Florida. I'm bringing one teeny tiny bathing suit in the hopes that I come back to this frigid state with a tan to mock all the hunters up in Michigan. I'm not even gonna use suntan lotion cause I'm hardcore as you know. And really, if it rains everyday I won't mind one bit because it will still be at least 50 degrees warmer, so take that you fucking state of Michigan! With that said, here are the other things I can't wait to do/see in my good ol' hometown.
1. Apparently my nephew has turned into a badass teenager, and I just want to see the new do. He dyed his hair black and got an earring. Ahh, to be 13 again.
2. Long conversations with the sister. And hopefully it won't be about family nonsense drama. That's so 5 years ago.
3. My mother's glowing face the first time we see eachother.
4. My dad's constant picture taking. It's a little much, but it's a staple in the Arliss family. And it wouldn't be a trip home with at least 9 million photo opportunities.
5. I always like to go to the beach alone and just sit. It's this thing I started doing in college and it's pretty relaxing. I don't know if I reflect or whatever, but I just like to take it all in. Like, I'm not gonna see you for awhile so let's sit and admire this shit.
6. I'm sure I'll see some random friends and probably go to places that I don't really like, but whatever it's part of the process of going home.
7. Honestly, I think I could spend the whole time with my sister and mom and be happy as can be. If only they actually got along.
Okay, that's it. It's 12ish and I'm out folks! I may blog, I may not. But have a Happy Holiday and a safe New Year!!!!!! Love and kisses and all that crap.

Pop star Camila Cabello is patiently waiting to experience real love after confessing she has never been in a long-term relationship.
The former Fifth Harmony star admits she missed out on a regular teenage life because before focusing on a career in music, the 19-year-old was too timid to act on any childhood crushes she had.
"I didn't really get to do the teenager thing," she told Seventeen magazine. "I was shy back in high school: I would go to school, come home, and watch YouTube videos. Being in music has pushed me to overcome that.
"I have gone through a lot of self-discovery in the past few years, figuring out who I am and being comfortable with just being me. I've attracted a lot of great people into my life that way, just by being myself. Now I want to go out there, meet people, learn about them, and make friends."
And that includes learning about love through her own experiences, especially after having to use her imagination to write material for her new solo career following her departure from girl group Fifth Harmony in December (16).
"Even though I'm 19, I've literally never had a long-term relationship," she shared. "So when I show people my songs, they're like, 'Who's this about? I've never seen you with a boy ever.' I make all of these fantasies in my head. There's this constant theme of unrequited love and me loving people from afar."
Luckily, Camila, who was briefly linked to close pal Shawn Mendes in 2015, already has someone with more of a romantic history to turn to for love advice whenever she may need it - Taylor Swift.
"Taylor is always the person that I go to for boy advice," she said. "The reason we became friends was purely because we think the same way about a lot of things: We're both really sensitive and emotional when it comes to love. We love love, and we love writing songs about love."

The Jewish Press reports: Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has voiced his strong support for Russia's airstrikes in Syria, Russia's Federation Council speaker Valentina Matviyenko said on Friday.
At the meeting on Thursday, Abbas "unambiguously and firmly expressed his support for Russia's actions in Syria," Matviyenko said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV.
Speaker Matviyenko said Abbas supports the need to step up efforts on the fight against ISIS and other terrorist groups. "Here we have no differences," she said.
Abbas also said Russia has come back to the Middle East and this creates "certain balance" in the region and no imbalance will be allowed, Matviyenko said.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 144700
ctrl-e [end-of-line] command doesn't work in mozilla when text=numbers
Last modified: 2018-04-11 14:44:35 EDT
Description of problem:
Wen typing in numbers [whereever mozilla accepts text input] emacs keybindings
misbehave. Esp: Ctrl-E & Ctrl-K
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install FC3 & update mozilla from rawhide (or just install rawhide)
2. enable emacs style editing in by adding the following to ~/.gtkrc-2.0
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
3. start up mozilla
4. Now get to some 'editable' area [Ctrl-L to type in a URL will do]
5. Now type in just numbers - say '123'
Actual results:
Ctrl-A works
Arrow -> works
Ctrl-E doesn't work
Ctrl-K kills 'char' instead of 'line'
Moving the 'cursor' to the end of the line with 'mouse' doesn't work
Expected results:
Ctrl-E (end of line) should work
Ctrl-k (kill line) should work
moving Mouse pointer to end of line should work
Additional info:
This is probably gtk bug - but I'm filing against mozilla - as I notice this
here. I see the same issue with 'firefox'
Just tried gtk2-2.6.1-1 update in rawhide - still the same behavior.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates,
which may have resolved this issue, and Mozilla itself was removed from the
latest Fedora Core/RHEL distributions. Users who have experienced this problem
are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of the equivalent
package (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) available. Therefore closing this bug as
If you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, please reopen this bug

About me
After completing BSc in Mathematics with Statistics for Finance at Imperial College London with first class honours, I undertook the MSc in Applied Statistics at University of Oxford. Over time, I have developed a need to explore the world of applied mathematics to economics, management and forecasting. Already, in my Extended Essay, written in my second year of International Baccalaureate, I tried to answer the question of which stochastic time series forecasting methods are most suitable for a short-term sale forecast. This paper provided me with an opportunity to further develop my interest in applied mathematics as well as directed my future career in the world of mathematics and economics. Currently I place emphasis on statistics and the importance of computing as an aid for mathematicians, broadening my computing skills in C/C++, R, Matlab and Maple. My final year project at Imperial College studied advanced random matrix theory and estimation of large dimensional covariance matrices applied to a practical investigation of the S&P 500 index.

Lip Bar Liquid Matte Lipstick Review
When it comes to lipstick, The Lip Bar get's it right! I fell in love with this lipstick line at a Cantu Crew event earlier this year and could NOT LIVE WITHOUT IT! These lipsticks are different from any other that I've ever purchased. Why? Because first of all they're handcrafted with ingredients such as vitamin E, shea butter, and avocado oil. Second of all the lipsticks are "made to soften, moisturize, and amplify!" And third, they come in all the BOMB colors. I can eat, drink, kiss (lol) and the lipstick doesn't come off which is another reason I had to purchase. While browsing through Ubiquitous a few weekends ago I got so excited when I saw The Lip Bar vending and added two more lippies to my collection! Are you ready to see how the four colors I purchased from the liquid matte collection look on my skin tone?
This color is a matte perfect for a night out on the town or anytime you're feeling a little bossy! I actually wore it to a football game and received tons of compliments.
Are you looking for an everyday nude? THIS IS IT! I wear this color pretty much every day. If you follow me on Snapchat you already know this is my go to color.
I love this playful hot pink. I always feel vacation ready when I wear it! It's not too bright but also not too dark..it really is the perfect pink.
"I got 99 problems, but a boy ain't 1." Even though the name of this lipstick may tell you otherwise , it hasn't brought me any boy trouble yet..lol! This is the newest shade I purchased and I can't seem to take it off. It's the perfect transition color for fall and has made me forget all about my Lady Danger by Mac that I was obsessed with.
Check out The Lip Bar's Menu, I promise you won't be disappointed. All four of colors I'm wearing can be found HERE for $11.90, not bad right?!
These lippies are Vegan, BOLD, and if they sound familiar it's because the brand was once on Shark Tank. Can it get any better than that? Well for me, yes. The owner's name is Melissa so we're basically twins, haha. :-)
Which Lip Bar matte lipstick is your favorite?

Altium Designer 16.1 continues our focus of providing the most efficient and unified design environment available that allows engineers to transform ideas into reality without their design tool acting as a barrier to their creativity.
San Diego, California (PRWEB) May 03, 2016
Altium has announced the release of an update to their flagship PCB design platform, Altium Designer 16.1. This update continues the company's core focus on providing engineers with the most efficient PCB design platform with several new features that enhance design documentation and high-speed design workflows. Altium Designer 16.1 is available now as a free upgrade for all existing Altium Subscription customers, and can be accessed via the Altium Products Download page.
"Electronic designs are shaping the future of human connectivity and enable us to create innovative solutions to the world's most pressing problems," said Matthew Schwaiger, VP Global Customer Success at Altium. "Altium Designer 16.1 continues our focus of providing the most efficient and unified design environment available that allows engineers to transform ideas into reality without their design tool acting as a barrier to their creativity."
Connecting Design and Documentation Workflows
While documentation is a critical element of every post-design process, engineers typically find themselves struggling with limited, 3rd-party documentation tools that lack a connection to their original design data. With Draftsman™ in Altium Designer 16.1, PCB designers can easily create and update documentation without ever leaving their design workspace. Draftsman enables PCB designers to:
- Stay at their most efficient by creating and updating assembly documentation without ever having to learn another tool or workflow.
- Easily communicate with manufacturing with easy-to-use markup and drawing object tools, all available in the same familiar design interface.
- Provide data-rich details on board layouts with detailed perspectives, flexible board layout views, and expressive call-outs.
"Documentation has always been one of those tedious yet necessary tasks in every engineer's post-design process," said Alexey Sabunin, Altium Designer Product Manager. "With Draftsman, we've gone beyond the basic limitations of the traditional documentation process with intelligently linked design and documentation data, allowing engineers to focus on communicating their design details right the first time."
New Productivity-Focused Features in Altium Designer 16.1
In addition to Draftsman, Altium Designer 16.1 also includes several new productivity-focused features that allows a PCB designer to easily complete their high-speed designs and mechanical enclosure verifications with:
- Precise 3D Measurements - Engineers can precisely measure board layouts in Native 3D and ensure a precise fit with existing mechanical enclosures.
- USB 3.0 Support - Engineers can easily design accurate and high-speed board layouts with technology-aware configurations for USB 3.0.
- Performance enhancements - Engineers can confidently complete their designs with several platform stability and user interface enhancements.
Availability Details
Altium Designer 16.1 is available now as a free upgrade to all Altium Subscription customers and can be downloaded from the Altium Products Download page. Start your free 15 day trial of Altium Designer today and experience all of the new features available in this release.

Short of the Week is an editor-curated directory of short films. The site boasts a stellar user interface with "Channels" as the default navigation scheme for finding videos. Once you're in the channels section, you can scroll down and see videos listed by Genre, Topic, Style, Collection, and Country. They've been featured in MakeUseOf's Best Websites article and several others, so naturally we had to give them a place on our site.
The typical short film will be well-produced and thought-inspiring piece of art.
I first discovered the site several years ago when I was curating a list of the best vimeos for our article on Vimeo.

Ian Somerhalder, Hank The Brewers' Pup & More Win At World Dog Awards
So exciting! Hank the Ballpark Pup, who was once a stray but is now a team mascot, took home the Dog Of The Year award on Thursday, Jan. 15. We'd say that's a pretty doggone good way to start the new year. Plus, Ian Somerhalder also took home a prize — watch the video here!
Hot diggity dog! Hank the Brewers' Ballpark Pup won the Dog Of The Year award at the World Dog Awards. (Try saying that three times fast.) Hank, who was once a stray, also rubbed shoulders with Paris Hilton, Terrell Owens and George Lopez during the inaugural event, which aired on The CW on Jan. 15.
World Dog Awards Winners — Ian Somerhalder, Hank The Brewers' Pup & More
The Major League Baseball's top canine took home the most prestigious award of the night, but other little rascals took home prizes for best in film, top TV dog, and supporting actor to a dog!
In case you were unaware that such an awards show existed, we'll explain it a bit.
The canine award show, "honors star dogs, everyday dogs and dogs who have become famous 'on social media,'" The CW said.
During the awards show, which was hosted by comedic actor George Lopez, Paris Hilton and Terrell Owens posed with Hank as he accepted his award.
Luckily, his speech was pretty short — just a few barks!
Our favorite hunky Vampire Diaries actor, Ian Somerhalder, also won an award for dog's best friend! So sweet. (Watch the video above.)
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did the right dog win the top prize? Was George Lopez a great host? And how do you feel about Paris Hilton appearing on the awards show? Tell us how you feel!
— Chris Rogers

Yesterday at lunchtime, I was minding my own business eating a bowl of leftover tomato-basil-parmesan soup when BAM, I fell down the rabbit hole…I was just going to check my email…
Anyhow, I stumbled upon a few interesting things…thought I'd share. Some from friends' facebook pages, some from Pinterest and so on:
A blog post with a really good list of recommendations for iPhone/iPad apps. I am OBSESSED with RedLaser now and have been scanning everything in sight. This app is a revolutionary timesaver for a bargain hunter like myself. Thanks for the great list Eric!
Rand is eating new foods everyday and thinking about what is best for him has really been convicting to me about what I eat and SERVE. In our home, I'm the one responsible for what is on our plates at every meal. Found THIS and THIS. BOOKMARK!
I was randomly googling about if you can still cook and eat spinach that is a little slimy (you can't), and found what I should have done when the spinach was gettin' there.
Saw this on facebook…a good read if you're human because you probably have someone to forgive too.
I was catching up on my friend Martha's hilarious blog and she posted this fun video…Wes and I have enjoyed having a few date nights on the sofa with FOX's new series New Girl. Zooey Deschanel is so funny!
Last, but not least, thinking about New Year's, made me think about what we were doing last year on New Year's: celebrating James and Samantha like crazy. I confess, I will never grow tired of watching their wedding video. Makes me wanna plan a trip to Austin to visit them…maybe tomorrow at lunch I'll just check into a few plane flights…

I also get quite a few DRE's but after popping it out and putting it back in, the game continues as it should. Any ideas as to what the problem would be there?

text: #ArchivedNews Reserves: Sittingbourne 0-4 Spurs English Barclays Premiership John Piercy's impressive pre-season continued at Sittingbourne on Tuesday night. The versatile forward scored twice as our second string made it three wins in three friendlies at Central Park. With first team squad members Mauricio Taricco, Luke Young, Ramon Vega, Simon Davies, Dave McEwen and Gary Doherty on board, this was the most impressive performance so far from Chris Hughton's men. Piercy, who made his first team debut last season, opened the scoring after 33 minutes. He linked well with Taricco before cutting in from the left flank and finishing in the corner. It took until the 66th minute to make it 2-0 when Neale Fenn netted after combining well with Gary Doherty and Doherty made it three goals in his last two games after good work from Johnnie Jackson with seven minutes left. Piercy then missed a penalty he had won himself but still had the last laugh after a clever pass from Simon Davies released him for his second and our fourth in the last minute. Delighted boss Hughton said: "John did very well but to be fair all the players applied themselves well. I was particularly impressed with the second half because in the other games we've started well but dropped off after the break. "At this stage of pre-season we need to be pushing on but against Aylesbury and Chesham we'd allowed our opponents back in. This time we went through to the end. We had more possession and created more chances as the game went on." Spurs: Kelly, Hillier, Vega (Saker), Thelwell, Taricco (Jackson), Young (Consorti), Davies, Fenn, Piercy, Doherty, McEwen.
