When you give a shilling to a beggar - do you realize that you are giving it to yourself? When you help a lame dog over a stile - do you realize that you yourself are being helped? When you kick a man when he is down - do you realize that you are kicking yourself? Give him another kick - if you deserve it! - Why Lazurus Laughed by Wei Wu Wei

Difference between: http & https
I know you all might know this, but I didn't and was glad to find it out.
FIRST, MANY PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF **The main difference between http:// and
https:// is It's all about keeping you secure**
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of
saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for info rmation
to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients. The important
thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage,
and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the
following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular
'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to
"eavesdrop"20on your computer's conversation with the website. If y ou fill
out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to
that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https:/ /, that basically means your
computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can
eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should
automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it
doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a
credit card number.

Help!
An email from Larry Henson....
Hi Ron,
Hi Ron,
received a call from a lady in the park who is in need of someone to help her with little things in the house. she cannot climb on a ladder to change light bulbs or lift the hood to her car etc.
at one time there was a group of men who would help people living in LVH out with things like this, is the group still in operation?
editor comment:
Folks there used to be a group that did this. Now they have grown older or passed on and can't do this anymore. We rely on the influx of younger people to take the places of these heroes. Would you volunteer to be in such a group? The pay is awful... $0 but the light in the eyes of those helped is pretty darn neat. Just tell Larry you would like to help...

Oregon Shakes!
On March 9th at the clubhouse ...10am we will have a presentation of Oregon Shakes by a scientist.
Kay Wyatt is a local geophysicist that has founded the Oregon Shakes program dedicated to teaching Lincoln County residents and schools about the effects of a catastrophic earthquake on our environment.
She usually brings seismographs so you can actually see what the earth is upto. Kay is a member of Central Coast CERT and volunteers localy to raise awareness levels before a disaster.
The LVH CERT Team is presenting the program but we would like to stress that we are not out to recruit anybody... We just want you to come, munch popcorn, and drink coffee and enjoy yourself.

Fwd: LVH Book Club
Hi Ron,
Ginger would like to post a short article to the web site inviting anyone in the park to join the newly formed book club that was established earlier this month. Ten women and one man, Charlie Currey, gathered at the clubhouse for the purpose of starting the club. If anyone is interested in joining the club, the next meeting will be on Monday, March 9, 2009 at 7:00 pm. It was decided to hold the meetings on the second Monday of every month at 7:00 pm.
The first book selected for this month is "Stubborn Twig" by Lauren Kessler, an Oregonian author. The story is about three generations in the life of a Japanese American Family to include their internment during WWII.
"Salt in our Blood" by Michele Longo Eder, a Newport resident known to many, was then selected for the month of April. Michele's father, Joe Longo, was a resident here in the park and an avid fly fisherman. The LVH Fishing club honors his memory and the values he stood for by each year presenting a plaque in his name to the club member that has excelled in his or her service to the club and our community. Michele is an attorney and the wife of a local fisherman. "In 2000 Michele Longo Eder began a journal to record what daily life was like for her while her husband and sons were out commercial fishing. But personal tragedy struck just before Christmas 2001. This book is an offer of healing to her family, her community and to fishing families everywhere." Ginger and I have both read the book and found it to be excellent.
All are welcome and should anyone have any questions, please do not hesitate to give Ginger a call at 574-1864.
Thanks Ron.
Frank
