WE LOVE IT!!!

Just think this time yesterday we had snow on these beaches, nothing like living along the Oregon Coast. If you don't like the weather, just wait for a short time and it will change. We can have rain,wind,snow and sun off and on in one day doing the winter months, but we love it. Never get tired of living along the wonderful Oregon Coast area.

What the heckI just

What the heck

I just enjoy putting on articles. It looks like a lot of folks don't mind me doing that according to the poll. I'll try to be briefer only taking snippets from the articles and ask Charles and Donna to try also. But, the website has to be fun for those doing it as well as those reading it. Cut off either one and it will die. I've discovered the last few days that it is totally unsatisfying to not publish articles. Doing that gives me, personally, a lot of satisfaction. This website is one of my hobbies as much as it is a park website. Frankly, if it isn’t fun.. I can’t see a reason for doing all the work it takes. You can appreciate that, right?

So if you find you don't like seeing the articles we post write me and tell me your suggestions.. We like to see new points of view and may even incorporate them.

We will give some thought to creating another page for outside news. This of course means more work and time for those working those new sites... For them it has to be fun... a hobby or it won’t work because of the considerable investment in time it takes.

Keeping interest and building readership is an arduous, time consuming, task. Without being reimbursed there has to be a payoff of another sort and that for me is it’s a fun way to spend some of my retirement time.

Returning players bring high hopes to Cubs' baseball season.............

Last year the Newport Cubs baseball team represented the Val-Co league as the No. 2 seed in the 2005 OSAA Baseball State Championships.

After a 4-2 opening round home win over Scappoose, the team traveled to Wilsonville and lost by one run, 5-4. Wilsonville went on to lose in the semifinals and Newport began looking forward to the new.

NAIL IN THE FENCE
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
(Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. " A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us."
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily they said in a recent  email I received. So What?

Here’s the deal. They have tons of advertisers on their site. They say they get paid money by those advertisers every time someone visits their site.

They say they have a goal of providing a free mammogram a day to someone who can’t afford it with that money. 

We looked it up on the Urban Legends site to find out if it was a hoax as many of these chain letters are. It is TRUE.  What they didn’t say is it takes 45000 hits a day to generate enough money to pay for one mammogram. This letter has been circulating since 2000 and has been averaging 54000 hits a day.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

This article will remain here, on top for 3 days.. The stories below will change.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE...

Hello,

My name is Ron Thomas.. I would like to take a moment of your time to tell you about this website. It is about 4 years old and was created at the suggestion of the park manager, Larry Henson. He said it might be a nice thing for the residents of the park. I knew absolutely nothing about how to make such a thing but decided to give it a try. My daughter had taken a class in writing code for websites as she had to create one in her roll as public relations officer at a community college in California. With her help and with some text books she gave me, I began.

On the internet I found Blogger... Which would create a blog (known as a web log) for people that knew absolutely nothing about writing a web page and would do it for no money. For awhile it was enough to use their format and write local news and opinion. At that time we had about 6 readers. There were no pictures.. didn’t know how to do that. But my interest grew as I began to read other folks blogs... They had features that mine did not have.

How did they do that? A time of reading and experimenting with code came over me. There were a whole bunch of people on the internet who had, “how to do this and that for your website”. We devoured all that we could understand and went to books for help on what we could not. The blog grew both in size and readership. Maybe 30 people a day.. It grew difficult to write about things around the park. I was starving for news. About this time we learned how to put pictures on the site. For $40 a year I could use a service that would let me upload up to 100 pictures. My old Kodak and I roamed the park in search of stuff. Eventually pictures from all over Oregon started to show up on the site.

During these months we could not get many people to write on the website. So it was all the Ron Thomas show. Occasionally, Cleda or Donna Talarski would write something but mostly I just had to find something to put in every day.

Years later we now have 3 writing people and all know how to put pictures on the website. They have found it incredibly easy to do this .. Ask Charles or Donna what a snap it is. But before they came on I was starved for time and stuff to put on the site. I began borrowing from news sites. Finding articles to fill in the long blank spots when we had nothing to say. Suddenly our readership became national and even international readership here in Newport went sky rocketing. Today it is not uncommon to have a 300 person a day audience.

However, all this attention has focused on a point that I could use your help in showing what this website could do.. It may now be yet another time for change. We are sensitive to what we hear from our readers.. Mostly they talk to us in the clubhouse, at the computer classes, in emails and at neighborly get togethers. Lately, people are commenting on how terrific the pictures Charles is providing are.. Comments are something like a picture is worth a thousand words. Donna’s stories on animals provide human interest and new a community service to Newport. She also has some pretty good stuff on natural remedies. But there is a bunch of veiled (nicely put comments) about there being too much Non-local news and sports.

Others have commented on how fast the local news migrates off the page.. Often not giving local readers a chance to see it. These are all problems that I have remedies for. The solutions might be interesting to you.

I am thinking of keeping the main website for local news with some humor and maybe an occasional article that impacts Oregonites. Maybe medical news and discoveries with any breaking news to do with elderly benefits.

And then we will create spin off websites where state, national and international news of the day can go. We already have a humor site which Charles keeps up on a regular basis and a Fisherman’s site which is dedicated to the largest of LVH club’s. Again, this is largely Charles’ effort.

Donna suggested a poll about these subjects. So now you have a chance in the most recent poll to voice a very safe, anonymous, opinion on the left side of the page and help the staff in directing the website to your liking. Please take a moment to vote.

Computer News

Computer News...

Last night Jim Dodds took me on a tour of the programs he has loaded on the lab computers.. This was after he put in a planed fix into the router ( the device that transmits the internet to all of the computers). The new fix should cure most of the outage problems we have been seeing.

While there I played a lot of Jewell Quest. Bob Abbot dropped by for some one on one lessons on how to use the internet. AS a result of the classes Bob has been taking he is thinking about buying a computer. We have been privileged to watch his skills and interest grow.

Announcing a new volunteer service.!!!

• Starting now... Jim Moreland will be in the lab for an hour a week from 1:30 to 2:30pm on Tuesdays to help anyone who drops by and needs computer help.

• Sid Adkins will be taking another date and time to help anyone who drops by the lab.. Sid will let us know when he will start.

• Ron Thomas will be in the lab from 6:00 to 8:00pm Monday thru Friday to help anybody that drops by. Will modify that later.. but for now we will try to be there every night during the week.

We need computer speakers donated to the lab.. Got an extra set? We need ‘em. We need mouse pads. We will be looking for office chairs with rollers too. Need a slim vertical book shelf. Need an articulating arm like the hospitals use for their in room TV’s. Got some cleaning time available? Our computers, keyboards and mice came out of the Georgia Pacific Mill and are pretty dirty. Everything needs to be cleaned with alcohol.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein:
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Of course, even Busch admits he shouldn't have pushed so hard at that time, but Jourdain bears some of the blame.

Two massive disasters, unequaled in collective memory, rearranged the thinking process of millions of Americans.

USATODAY.com - In Egyptian desert, a surprising nautical find: "In Egyptian desert, a surprising nautical find
Archaeologists generally downplay the Indiana Jones side of their discipline, full of derring-do and unexpected discoveries. But every once in a while, an amazing find surprises even the most experienced researchers. And that's just what happened two years ago when Boston University's Kathryn Bard reached into a hole in the sand at the edge of the Egyptian desert and found the first of six caves. Her research team of Italians and Americans now knows those caves hold the most ancient ship stores ever discovered, perfectly preserved timbers, ropes and other fittings perhaps 4000 years old."
