eBay !
Many of you know my daughter sells regularly on eBay. She is quite successful at it. She knows the ropes and the pitfalls. Lori (my daughter) will be visiting us this August. She has agreed to teach us all how to sell on eBay.
That being said she wants you to be able to know how to make a jpeg picture and you must have a PayPal seller’s account set up before you can take her class.
So, I am tasked with getting those people ready that want to take her classes. Yes you will have to have basic computer skills.
Before we go to the trouble of setting up classes to learn how to do this, I would like to gauge the level of interest we have in the subject, i.e., “Do you want to learn how to sell on eBay?”
Therefore, we have a poll running now that will help us decide on the level of interest and the class sizes. This technique is called, “Putting the horse before the cart.” . A good way to approach a problem..

Global climate change may soon make our planet a much itchier place.
Rising levels of carbon dioxide—a so-called greenhouse gas that traps heat within Earth's atmosphere—can fuel booming poison ivy growth, a new study reports."

From an email from Ruthanne Carson..
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall......
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?

SPENCER CREEK BRIDGE PROJECT EARNS FEDERAL APPROVAL
CORVALLIS -- The Federal Highway Administration has signed the Record of Decision for the Spencer Creek Bridge project, clearing the way for the critically needed upgrade to enter its final design stage.
The project is located about 5 miles north of Newport on US 101, adjacent to Beverly Beach State Park. The project will replace a temporary detour bridge built in 1999 and the original 1947 bridge, which was taken out of service seven years ago due to structural instability. The new bridge will be constructed in about the same location as the 1947 bridge. Due to funding constraints, the project is planned for construction in two units. Unit 1 would be constructed beginning in later this year. Unit 2 is not yet scheduled for construction.
Unit 1, which is the section of highway immediately adjacent to Beverly Beach State Park, will involve constructing a new bridge and bridge approach roads from about 1,000 feet north of Spencer Creek to N.E. 123rd Street.
Unit 2 will include construction south of N.E. 123rd Street, to just north of Wade Creek. This second phase would shift US 101 (inside the project area) to the east about 50 feet in order to limit ocean erosion impacts currently impacting the highway. This unit will involve constructing a large retaining wall west of the houses on the bluff. The eastward shift of the highway will require the relocation of the NE Beverly Drive access to N.E. 123 Street about 75 feet east of the existing location.
Federal approval of the Record of Decision completes the National Environmental Policy Act process for the project. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was released in July 2004, and a public hearing was held in September 2004. A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published in March 2006.2004, and a public hearing was held in September 2004. A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published in March 2006.
Copies of the Record of Decision and previous supporting documents are available at the ODOT District 4 office in Corvallis. They are also available online at the ODOT Region 2 web site http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION2/spencercreek.shtml.
For more information or copies of the Record of Decision, contact Duane James Liner, Consultant Project Manager, ODOT, 37000 SW Philomath Blvd, Corvallis OR 97333 (541-757-4158 or e-mail Duane.J.Liner@odot.state.or.us)

TOO often, discussions of alternative energy take place in an alternative universe where prices do not matter,' Popular Mechanics reports.
To remedy that, the magazine set out to figure out what it would cost to drive from New York to California using seven types of fuel.
It was not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. Because there was not one automobile that could handle all types of fuel, the magazine tried to match the cars as closely as possible in size and weight. And the price it used for gasoline — $2.34 a gallon — is about 20 percent less than most people are now paying at the pump."

Incident: Newport Community Emergency Response Team Graduates second class after final drill Saturday
Location: Old City Hall
Date/Time: 5-27-06 9:00 AM
Details:
Newport’s second class of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) conducted its final drill and examination today. Fifteen community volunteers who attended a drill at the old city hall were faced with several disaster scenarios, such as locating victims, providing first aid, recognizing hazardous materials, and triaging patients. The Newport Fire and Rescue, Newport Volunteer Fire Department, Pacific West Ambulance, Oregon National Guard, and the Newport Police Department participated in the training.
The Community Emergency Response Teams were first established in Los Angeles in 1987 as a result of several earthquakes. CERT teams are organized to train individuals to be their own first responders in the event of a major emergency. People will have to rely on each other for help in a major emergency as fire, police, and EMT’s will be busy attending the most serious situations.
The CERT program goals are to promote emergency preparedness; develop skills to respond to and cope with the aftermath of a disaster, and develop neighborhood self-sufficiency before, during and after a natural or man-made disaster. Topics taught and completed by the participants included Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Fire Suppression, Disaster Medical Operations, Light Search and Rescue, Terrorism, Disaster Psychology, CERT Organization, and the Final Drill.
Citizens interested in future CERT training courses may obtain further information by calling Sgt. Dean Sawyer of the Newport Police Department at 574-0633, or by visiting the Newport CERT website at http://certlvh.blogspot.com , or the Newport Fire Department website at www.newportfire.net .

Popular painkiller can be a killer itself
Popular painkiller can be a killer itself: "Just twice that maximum dose increases your risk of liver failure. The daily maximum equals eight Extra Strength Tylenols, so using 15 pills a day can be dangerous -- even once. The maximum doesn't change if you mix products. Doctors worry some overdoses stem from people who combine several of the 600-plus acetaminophen drugs and don't realize how much they're ingesting."
One smile begins a friendship...
One hand clasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea ...
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation...
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness...
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each journey...
One word must start each prayer
One hope will raise our spirits...
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with wisdom...
One heart can know what's true
One life can make the difference....
I'm glad that I know you!
I just stop and think if this might work for us here on the hill from neighbor to neighbor, see if it would spread. Wouldn't it be great!
