Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) - Phil Mickelson has a hard time forgetting the bitter end to his duel at Doral with Tiger Woods.
He was just off the 18th green, facing a 30-foot birdie chip to force a playoff at worst, and possibly win the best showdown of the year. The chip came off perfectly, ran true toward the cup and then broke sharply across the hole and spun out of the right side. Woods made his 6-foot par putt to win.

Portland Mayor Tom Potter has two suggestions for Paul Allen:
First, come talk to Portlanders directly about what you need to keep the Trail Blazers in town. Second, don't think you can automatically get out of your deal with the city by declaring bankruptcy.

Wanted a few good me

Wanted.. a few good men..

It’s time to ask for help. It’s been 3 years since we installed the emergency red light system around the park. There are always a few that need to be looked at. For instance right now one lady has had trouble with hers coming on all the time and we have developed a test to pin point the problem but lack the time to get on top of it and get it fixed. Another lady’s light came on last Sunday and we removed the bulb until we have time to troubleshoot it. A third light needs to be assembled and tested for some folks just moving in.

We need to free up some time to keep pace with other projects that are being developed in the park so it’s time to ask some of you handy guys to lend a hand and help maintain these lights. I can train a group of you on what to do and remain on as an advisor in case you get stuck but we need your help now.

So, you will find yet another sign up sheet in the clubhouse asking for maintenance volunteers for our red light system. We would be grateful to see your name on there...

New Features on the

New Features on the left of the page...

Two new features appear on the left side of the page now. You will find an up to date time and temperature gizmo (That’s the actual name of it) for Baghdad, Iraq.. Clicking it will give you the weather there.

The second feature is a list of the Neighborhood Watch Patrol Volunteers. These are the folks that drive around with the Neighborhood Watch signs on their cars. It lists who has the signs at the present time. So if you see them on a new car you will know who has them. For instance Ben Davi’s name now appears on the list as “ON PATROL” and he has the signs. When his time is done he will hand them off to me and so on. The person that has the signs displayed will be hi-lited on the list.

The LVH Computer Clu

The LVH Computer Club

The ball is rolling as of now. We had 35 of you say in a previous poll on this website that you wanted a computer club. Because that is a large group we will have to reserve the clubhouse for our meetings. To do that we have to know the date and time of the meeting. So, we are running a poll on the left to find out which is the best day for our new members. We will follow up in a couple of days with a poll for the most preferred time.

This first meeting will be a structural meeting setting up what we want to do and how we are going to do it. For instance, we could elect a president but maybe we would call him/her the head Geek. Maybe to get into meetings you would have to wear the Sacred Pocket Protector? If we find it necessary to name a secretary might that person be called our “Chat Room Host(ess)”?

What would we do? Well, some of us are beginners others are old pro’s we can help one another become better and more proficient. We can talk about new discoveries we’ve made. We can form groups of gamers, artists, sports enthusiasts, learn how to write code, how to computerize your home with home automation, Learn one another’s work a rounds and short cuts. Swap information on hardware and software programs, Set up a home Ethernet or Wireless network.. Learn how to make it secure. Learn how to build a blog, share a picture album, about Tivo, Stock Marketing. What’s a cantenna? Can you pull in free hispeed internet by building an antenna to do that?

Freeware.. Cool programs, computer repairs you can do yourself. Who has had good and bad experiences with what computers? Where are the good buys at?   We can broadcast our own radio in the park. Playing tunes and making announcements about daily activities. Make your computer an integral part of your home security... Can it wake you to your favorite music and send you off to sleep the same way.

VOTE NOW!
