Cycling chicks is for new and experienced riders and everyone else too!
Exercise! - Cycling Chicks--Sept 2008View Full Version : Cycling Chicks--Sept 2008 midwife 09-01-2008, 09:49 AM Cycling chicks is for new and experienced riders and everyone else too! midwife 09-01-2008, 09:52 AM Nelie, congrats again on the bike. I hear you with the crotch issues. That is what makes my rides, uh, less than totally enjoyable. I am still jacking around and NOT getting an appropriate seat. Perhaps that will be one of my goals for today. I find that my hands and wrists do bother me a bit on longer rides as well, but my wrists tend to be my weak points. My trainer showed me some wrist strengthening exercises, but have I done them yet??? Gina, I am in awe of people who clip into their pedals. That may be something that I someday maybe perhaps might consider. DH has those, but the thought of being attached to my bike---hmmm, gotta work on that fear, cause I know they can be very helpful--so he says! nelie 09-01-2008, 10:06 AM I didn't even think about wrist exercises. I have a history of carpal tunnel and although it has mostly disappeared, my hands went numb on the bike ride and all I could think is that if my hands are numb, then I can't brake. As far as clipping into the pedals, that does sound super scary to me. My bike doesn't even have toe holds. I may need to get something though because sometimes my feet do slip and its unnerving to me. I also did buy a new bike seat and I do think its more comfortable but I was still sore from the riding day to really tell. I wrote an entire diatribe about it on the Lifting forum but have any of you read Selene Yeager's blog? http://fitchick.bicycling.com/ I find her pretty inspiring and I was reading one of her books to help me overcome my fear of the bike. She ran the Ironman yesterday and came in first place for her age group and #16 overall for the women. Which also brings up another topic, is anyone else training for a tri? I think there are a couple of us right? Midwife? Tyler? anyone else? JuliaDH 09-01-2008, 10:14 AM DH took of DD training wheels last weekend! And boy can she fly! She was ready back in June but her confidence was not! I am so proud of her. I have carpol tunnel issues to and after 5k I am numb. But hey I could go 5 min last summer! With more lbs gone the better my wrists and hands. I do wear braces for longer rides. Sure do give pretty tan lines! Gonna help friends move this am then me and the boys are going out for a ride. chick_in_the_hat 09-01-2008, 09:58 PM I learned the hard way not to clip in while riding in traffic. Plopping into the middle of the street at a stop light that didn't turn green on time...:eek: But for the bike trail? It ROX. You get way more of a workout because you get pulling up action along with pushing down. Also excellent for stationary bikes. I also clip out before a big hill...again....lesson learned. :dizzy: I do have pedals that can be used with or without clips. LOL @ JuliaHood and tan lines...even with 40 SPF sunscreen I still have tan lines for tshirt, gloves, socks, and capris...I look so HAWT in a swimsuit. :p I haven't had problems with numb hands - but I am just recently recovering from a thoroughly annoying 8 month case of tennis elbow. So do your stretching and exercises. :rollpin: I still wear an elbow brace for longer rides or if I know there will be a lot of hills. nelie - thanx for the link - she does look quite inspiring! I haven't talked myself into a tri yet...I might try a bike race first. I run sometimes...especially when the elbow thing had me banned from the bike. I swim sometimes, too...why not combine them? :carrot: Ironman, tho. WHEW. mazza 09-02-2008, 12:19 AM So are you girls that are training for triathlons members of clubs? I know some people who are, but I dont really know how things work in the US when it comes to participating in triathlons and such. In truth, I'm not fantastically informed about how things go down here in AUS, either... lol. But I'd love to know more. nelie 09-02-2008, 11:42 AM From what I've read, if you plan on doing road cycling and competing, then you should join a club. My goal right now is just to learn how to ride a bike without having to worry about 'rules'. Although I've also read that if you ride with better riders, its easier to get better yourself. We are riding with a friend who has participated in triathlons before so she gives us advice. Bike stores and what not are good places to find clubs/events. Mrs Snark 09-02-2008, 03:28 PM Mazza, I'm not a member of a local tri club, but I frequent the www.beginnertriathlete.com website (and have a training log there). It is a great site for newbie (and experienced) triathletes... I am volunteering at the local tri in October (one I've raced twice) since I figured it was time to give back. I'm looking forward to it. The race is sponsored by the local tri club, so if I meet people I like there I may end up joining. You definitely don't need to join any groups to race, though, I certainly didn't. CyndiM 09-02-2008, 10:57 PM I'm nervous about clips too but am adding baskets. My chiropractor swears it makes riding more efficient because you don't waste energy keeping your feet in place. I find I have more problems with my wrists when my seat isn't angled just right. It's been adjusted a few times and one of the wrong adjustments led to a lot of arm numbness. Now that we've adjusted again things seem better. Chick - I've got Keen tan lines. Does limit the sandals I want to wear ;) mazza 09-03-2008, 12:39 AM Jo - thanks for the website, it's been really interesting to look through and read. They've got some pretty neat resources on there. mazza 09-03-2008, 12:52 AM Hey everyone - I'm in need of some advice. The bike I'm riding now (not my BMX) is about to complete its falling - apart process, and so I've been looking for a new one to buy for quite some time. The thing is, I'm not sure which sort of bike I should go for. Initially, I had thought a mountain bike since it would probably be best suited for the sort of riding that I do, but the idea of a hybrid has also tempted me. Also, If I ever did participate in a race/triathlon, would a mountain bike be suitable? I'm willing to spend a fair amount of money which I've been saving (for me anyway) - which is AUS$1000 / US$840 approx. Any suggestions? Should I just stick with the mountain bike choice? nelie 09-03-2008, 01:22 PM I'm no expert but... Mountain bikes are very good at being mountain bikes and you can handle some tough terrain. Roadbikes are very good for racing on paved type surfaces. Hybrids can handle a little bit of both but aren't necessarily great at one or the other. If your focus is to do a lot of rough terrain, then I say go with the mountain bike but that probably wouldn't be that great for triathlon type racing. If you definitely want to do triathlons or similar racing and the terrain isn't that rough, then go with a hybrid. That is just based on what I've read Mrs Snark 09-03-2008, 03:48 PM I did my first triathlon on a mountain bike (they have a special division if you are racing on a mountain bike usually called the "fat tire" division) and my second on a hybrid. My husband does all his triathlons on a mountain bike since that is the only bike he has. My advice: I'd say if you are just going to be a hobbiest at the triathlons -- sticking to sprint distance races -- then get a mountain bike since it sounds like your regular riding will be mostly on rough terrain. My husband loves to hop curbs and ride dicier dirt paths and that sort of stuff -- things I never do on a hybrid. You can always consider a tri-specific bike later if you get addicted to triathlon and want to go the serious distances... nelie 09-03-2008, 04:02 PM Tyler - I wasn't aware of fat tire divisions and that is interesting! I agonized a bit over a hybrid vs a road bike and went with the road bike because it felt light and easy to handle and planned to go on fairly smooth terrain. Later on when I get better, I'd like to get a more rugged bike although I couldn't see myself doing some of the insane stuff mountain bikes are designed to do. mazza 09-03-2008, 06:54 PM Thanks for the info, ladies. I think based on what you both have said and the things I've been taking into consideration - (what i'll mainly use the bike for, for the time being), I'm going to go with a mountain bike. That's great to know - the fat tire division thing. I had no idea! I love this thread. I'm learning heaps and getting to talk to fellow cycling chix. :) chick_in_the_hat 09-04-2008, 07:56 PM I've been contemplating a road bike for a while...I'm holding back because of the cash involved in getting it. But if it's speed you want and you don't need sturdy, get a road bike. Nelie already said exactly what I was thinking about hybrids "Hybrids can handle a little bit of both but aren't necessarily great at one or the other. " It's all about what you want to use it for primarily. Happy shopping - Mazza! :) dlphnmomva 09-04-2008, 10:46 PM hey everyone. I found this thread by looking on the Calorie counter forums. I am def a newbie here and to cycling. I actually just started today. I had it in my head like when i was younger and good ride my bike from morning to night without a problem. boy that is not the case any longer and i am sure my weight does not help, but that is why i am starting to cycle in hte first place. I found that it is a good calorie burner and cardio work out. well i only made it through 35 minutes today, but i really do not feel discouraged about it. It was 35 good hard minutes in which when i returned i was dripping with sweat and i thought my legs had misteriously fallen off somewhere enroute. I think this may be a really good workout for me, i like the scenery and getting out of the house. mazza 09-04-2008, 11:14 PM Happy shopping - Mazza! :) Thanks, Chick in the Hat :D I've been checking out all the mountain bikes at my local store - which happens to have a great range. I'm thinking of a Giant Avanti Black Thunder, or Boulder. They have this one bike that attracted me instantly. A BEAUTIFUL red cycle. I almost melted when I saw the price. AUS$7600. ....hrm. I think I'll stick with a Giant in my price range for now. ;) P.s. Welcome, Dlphnmomva! Mrs Snark 09-05-2008, 09:03 AM Welcome DolphinMom! Biking is an excellent workout and the nice thing is that it can always stay challenging (even as you get stronger) by changing up distance, gearing, routes, speed, etc. I've often thought about taking one of those biking tour vacations, like these: http://www.backroads.com/find/ What's cool is now they offer tours where you can bike, hike, raft, and kayak all in one tour, like this Alaska tour: http://www.backroads.com/trips/MALC/alaska-biking-hiking-tour How AWESOME does that sound? I highly recommend requesting a catalog from that Backroads site, it is very inspirational to flip through before going on your own bike rides and really makes you think about the interesting things you can do in your own local area! chick_in_the_hat 09-05-2008, 10:12 PM Thanks for the links, Josephine!! That is nifty stuff. :yes: dlphnmomva 09-06-2008, 12:59 AM Thanks for the welcome. Those tips will come in handy. I would have loved to go cycling tonight but was unable to due to hurricane Hanna threatening to reek havoc on the area. It was rainin pretty hard here this afternoon, and tomoor is supposed to be even worse. :( Oh well, what can you do wih mother nature. I will be doing some Cardio and Pilates to keep me going. Again, thank you for the support and advice. I will be sure to look the websites. I would love to take a trip white water rafting. that is my dream vacation sometime. nelie 09-07-2008, 08:38 PM Hey all!! Although yesterday was miserably windy and wet, today was a gorgeous day. In the morning, my husband and I went swimming and then since it was so nice, we decided to go biking. We went to a trail where we thought the roads were closed on weekends to cars but they weren't. I was a bit nervous riding so close to the edge of the road and having cars pass me, that we went on the paved path near the road for a nice ride. We then ended up exploring on a gravel path. I wasn't too fond of the gravel path due to my thin road bike tires. I now think I want a mountain bike too (oh god help me) but that will wait for a few years. I did pretty well even with the nervous start and there were some muddy areas on the paved path (again not too fond with my road bike). chick_in_the_hat 09-07-2008, 10:01 PM Hey Nelie - craigslist.org. Find a cheap used bike like a mountain bike or even just a cruiser. Always handy to have an extra ride to drag a buddy along sometimes, too. I had a fabulous ride today, if a bit hot by the end. I shoulda gotten outta the house sooner. :P I did like 20 miles in 1:15 hours. I was having fun finding a person to pass an then digging in until the job was done. People as pace cars. :s: It feels good to pass way more people than pass you. mazza 09-08-2008, 04:51 AM Hey everyone =D I spent yesterday with my Dad, for fathers day, and we went cycling. (I'm 17 and don't live with him so it's a semi-rare occurence). I try as much as I can to get him out and exercising, and it's fun when we do stuff like that together. We were at Centennial park, which is a large park in sydney - they have bike hire, tracks and all sorts of great facilities for families and sporting groups. I had a blast, burnt a ton of calories and thought I'd share this since here is probably the most appropriate place =]. Hoping you are all well. Seeya! Mazza chick_in_the_hat 09-10-2008, 01:30 AM Mazza - That's a better Father's Day gift than a tie for sure. :cool: I had a great ride today - a little windy, but much cooler. nelie 09-10-2008, 11:21 AM Mazza - that sounds fun! I got my bike fit adjusted on Monday after my bike got its first tuneup. Then on Monday, I did a workout on the trainer at home and it was much more comfortable and I was able to do half an hour without issue. I expect to do some home bike workout tonight as well. mazza 09-15-2008, 08:53 PM Hey everyone! Nobody's posted in a while, so to start up conversation again: How's the weather in everyone's parts? Just thought i'd bring it up because spring has really just hit Sydney and these past few days have been hot and dry - a nice change from the seemingly endless rain. I forgot how much I loved cycling in hot weather, even though its dry and I sweat like crazy. Nevertheless, It's better than getting wet because of the rain and being more prone to bike accidents. Speaking of accidents - I took a mighty fall the other day when I skidded on a bunch of leaves around the corner from my house as I was returning home. So, now I have this gross looking bruise with some grazed bloody bits. It looks like a work of art. Ew. ANYWAY - geez did I go off on a tangent. Hoping to hear from you all soon..... =D Mazza nelie 09-15-2008, 09:47 PM Mazza - I love spring and i'm sure the warmth is welcomed although it can be annoying. I've been preoccupied with other things so no biking. I've started running and I've been swimming. Its pretty hot here and I expect to bike on my trainer tomorrow (yeah I know exciting). mazza 09-16-2008, 12:48 AM Nelie - swimming sounds lovely - especially during hot weather. I'm with you on the trainer thing - they can be somewhat boring, but hey, it's always a great option to have, for when you can't actually get outside. Mrs Snark 09-16-2008, 10:35 AM It's HOT here. I so can't wait for the cooler weather which makes running and biking so much more pleasant! chick_in_the_hat 09-19-2008, 08:07 PM Just checking in - the weather here is gorgeous - I rode to work yesterday and today. :D mazza 09-19-2008, 10:02 PM Sounds good, Chick in the hat! How long does it take you to commute? Nice ride? Mrs Snark 09-20-2008, 11:15 AM I had a nice ride this morning up the route I'm planning on running tomorrow morning. I'm planning to run a 9 or 10 miler tomorrow so I was looking for landmarks along the way to encourage myself that I'm almost at the turn-around point. I had a nice ride, but DH didn't come with me since his knee was bothering him and I always have more fun riding with him than alone. I did see a giant pack (flock, herd?) of peacocks, along with the all-white peacock which is always neat. Oh, and manatees and dolphins, too, so all and all it was a nice ride. :) chick_in_the_hat 09-20-2008, 12:55 PM If I take the direct route - it's 10 miles thru town. I especially enjoy the bridge over the freeway - I like to wave at all the people sitting in the traffic jam. :s: Usually I do that in the morning. The scenic route is along the bike trail - it's more like 15 miles...and in the morning it's a little sketchy as people who sleep along the river tend to be getting up. I don't feel comfortable riding alone. But in the afternoon it's a great ride, it's not uncommon to see turkeys, peaccks, deer, rabbits or skunks. :eek:...occasionally a coyote or moutain lion. I like to watch the seasons change - right now everything is kinda dry. But soon the leaves will turn. Manatees and dolphins - way cool!! I don't think I've ever seen a white peacock. Mrs Snark 09-20-2008, 03:33 PM Wow, have you seen a cougar while out biking? I'd love to see one in the wild as long as it isn't nibbling off my face or anything! Manatees and dolphins and peacocks can't eat people (I know cougars rarely do, but they CAN), so they are slightly less adrenalin inducing I think! ;) Lydia227 09-23-2008, 02:32 PM Manatees, dolphins and peacocks. Wow. You really get some great things to see while riding. I saw a horse once. :s: ~sigh~ :lol: Hopefully tomorrow will be a great riding day here too. It's been two weeks since I've been out. We had a really aweful windstorm here and left the whole city without power and a lot of limb debris for a week. We are just now cleaning it up. Obviously the trails would be a mess. Hopefully they are clear now. I'm planning to get a few miles in while DS2 is in preschool. Course it means I'm going to look like something the cat drug in once I pick him up but that's okay. chick_in_the_hat 09-23-2008, 10:37 PM I haven't actually seen a cougar - I think I'm supposed to call it a moutain lion...it's a BIG CAT.... :eek: I've seen the signs saying they exist and every once in a while someone gets into trouble with one. It really is a treat to see wild animals just doing their thing. It's another bonus of a bike that you are pretty quiet - you see more stuff. :D FB 09-23-2008, 10:54 PM Ah, my bike is one of my favorite things. My husband is working nights this week, so to amuse ourselves my 4 year old and I are doing long rides in the evening, tonight was 2 hours, last night about 90 minutes. He attaches to my bike with a child's half bike - so we make a tandem. I'm glad he enjoys it as much as I do! I've been getting in my fast paced 20 mile rides in the mornings now, which is so very different than my evening rides. I don't like it, but I'll take whatever I can get while our schedule is skewed. Mrs Snark 09-24-2008, 09:28 AM Ah, my bike is one of my favorite things.

It sounds like a lot of fun to be out there on a tandem with your son! Two hours! Wow, he must have a great attention span! FB 09-24-2008, 02:53 PM You know, he really does have a great attention span. Of course we're constantly chattering the entire time, we both love to talk nearly as much as biking. The time honestly flies, I didn't notice how long we were out until it started getting dark. I try to make things more interesting for him, take trails through interesting scenery, the woods, downtown, the train station. We're constantly talking about what we see. It's funny, because from head on it looks like I'm talking to myself. It's not until passersby see us pass that they get the wary look off of their face. mazza 09-25-2008, 02:35 AM Awesome to hear you're doing something so fun and active with your son, FB :) I'm addicted to tearing up the Sydney Park hills these days. They are super fun to cycle over - coming up the bigger ones is a challenge and a half, but then rolling down the other side makes it totally worth it. It's a mixture of fear, exitement and way too much speed. Heee hehehe =D vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Bradford defender Robbie Threlfall believes playing against team-mate Kyel Reid is a nightmare for League Two full-backs.
Left-back Threlfall is glad he only has to face winger Reid in training and does not envy those defenders who do play against him.
Threlfall told the Telegraph and Argus: "He's got that great pace and ability and I don't think we've had that outlet in previous years. Reidy takes the pressure off the whole team and he's certainly a good asset for us.
"I can't think any full back in the Football League would like to play against Kyel with his pace.
"Any defender will tell you if the ball goes over your head or behind you, it's the worst feeling in the world.
"You don't mind the ball in front of you, it's when you are turning towards your own goal against a guy with the pace that he's got."

I want to talk to you about that elephant in the parlor. You know, that single password you are using for every site where you have an account. Yes, that password. The one you use to log into your favorite discussion forum, to log into your favorite pizza joint's Web site, and to log into your bank account. See, you thought you were being sly, but I know that one password is the only one you have. And if someone ever manages to discover your password, they are going to own your life.
Rule Number One – never, ever, never use the same password twice. Every site you have to use a password to log into needs to have a unique password.
Rule Number Two – there are no exceptions to Rule Number One.
Yes, I know, we all have too many accounts to look after. And with each account having a different password, who could possibly remember them all? I am here to tell you I can only remember one of my passwords. I only need to remember the one, because I have a tool that takes care of the rest of my passwords for me – LastPass.
I know, you're thinking me a fool for allowing one service to store and manage all my passwords, but that is only because you've yet to discover how LastPass really works.
LastPass does store all my passwords in a central vault, but it also uses an encryption key that exists on my devices, and nowhere else. The key never leaves my devices, and not even LastPass has a copy. Because they wanted everything to be completely secure, all of my passwords are encrypted and decrypted on my machine, not on a public Web server.
And setting up LastPass could not be easier. You simply download the recommended package for your browser of choice and install it. Once installed, you can restart your browser and set up a LastPass account. Oh, did I mention that if you're not interested in adding any mobile devices, the account is completely free-of-charge? LastPass requires you to input a working e-mail address, and then you need to enter a very strong password. But never fear, because this is the last password you will ever have to remember. Personally, I came up with a very unique sentence and I use the first letter of each word in the sentence for my password. Once you are logged into LastPass, then it is time to start adding a lot more security to all of your online accounts.
Your first step is to log into a site, using all of your normal details. Then browse to the page where you can change your password.
Above, you can see I've entered my old password, then I have clicked on the character in the New Password field, which opened up the LastPass dialog. You can select how many characters you want to use in your password, what types of letters, and.or numbers, and/or special characters to use, and then have LastPass regenerate another password. Since I don't need to remember any of this information, I try to make my passwords as cryptic as possible. Once I am satisfied with the suggestion LastPass has made, I simply click on Use Password.
From that point, I just need to get the site saved to my LastPass vault, so I can log back into this site, the next time I visit. So I click on Save Site.
LastPass recognizes the name of the site (actually, this is the Evo/Lution Linux discussion forums), and then allows me to store the details in a custom folder. From here, I only need to click on Save Site.
After everything was saved, I logged out of the site and then made to log back in. I clicked on the special character in the Username field, and,
LastPass automatically populates both the Username and Password fields for me. I've no clue what that 16 character password is, but neither do I have it written down somewhere, so someone can gain access to my account.
The beauty of all this is that LastPass runs on your browser installation, so if you use more than one browser, you only need to install the LastPass extension in each browser. It doesn't care if you are running Linux, or one of those inferior operating systems.
And since most people now carry smart phones, you can bump your account up to a premium account, for just $12 USD per year, and then your phone will be able to access all of your LastPass vault details.
This one is a no-brainer, people. You can stop using that single password that most people would be able to guess in under 60 seconds, and add in a new measure of security for all of your online accounts.

What should I do if my baby is more attached to her nanny than to me?
My 7-month-old is bonding with our nanny so strongly that at night she cries for her. This is really upsetting for my husband and me. I spend a lot of time with our daughter -- I give her breakfast, bathe her, and play with her for one to two hours every day. I'm worried that she's more attached to her nanny than she is to us. What should I do?

NANA, Thank you for your comment I think it was said quite eloquently and graciously!! THanksposted 02/18/2004 by JefferyH
My goodness you SAH moms have a lot of free time spending typing on the computer. And to Amy in MI you do make it 'sound' like a working mom isn't as good a mom as a SAH mom. I am a single mom and have to work a full time job. Trust me when I say that my 10 month old son is not any less loved or cared for than yours.posted 02/18/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a similar situation with my first daughter -- she would cling to her nanny sometimes when I first got home in the afternoon. At first I felt horrible, but then another working Mom helped me put it into perspective: the fact that your baby loves this caregiver is a sign that you have choosen wisely, and picked someone that is showing your precious child the care and affection she needs, rather than neglecting her in front of the TV or dumping her in her crib. Would you rather your baby be miserable? What I initially took as rejection was just a little fear of transition at the end of a long, stimulating day. By the way, my baby is now three, lives for her Mother, and is completely biligual to boot!posted 02/18/2004 by stonebert
Jolene, You must be joking! And if you are not shame, shame on you, for misrepresenting what I wrote! Your comments to me are unbelieveable. Women can be whatever they want, like I said, if you want it all go for it. Just don't be surprised when your child chooses the nanny over you at the end of the day. Like I said this isn't the 1950's, and we no longer use the term "the little woman!" You're the type of woman who makes SAH moms feel like they must not have a brain. Women have choices!

Stacie, Do you think it is just children with mothers that work that are clingy, fussy, bratty and/or unruly? Or can that statement also be used for any child whether with a SAH parent or Working parent? Just curious! :)posted 02/18/2004 by JefferyH
I just noticed at the end of Rubeye questions was the word "US". So is it too much to assume that your husband feels the same way? And if you were to stay home would your husband still feel that your child isn't as attached? I am just curious.posted 02/18/2004 by JefferyH
Wow! What a discussion. I too grew up with the idea of the '80s that women can maintain the career, children, and home with flourish and ease, and that there are no differences between men and women so men can stay at home with the children. At times circumstances beyond a person's control dictates who stays at home or the necessity of a caregiver, but there are certainly differences between men and women in relation to children. Women, in general, not all, are more nuturing than men. For example, I have a friend who must work outside the home while her husband raises their son. Circumstances have made this arrangement necessary, but the boy constantly longs for his mother, has a need for her that his father can't fulfill. I worked for six years as a secondary educator and witnessed first hand many children of my co-workers who were lacking because their mothers worked, whether by necessity or choice. Some were very clingy and fussy while others were unruly and bratty. It's difficult to work two jobs and do either very well. Inevitably what happens is one or the other suffers, and many put off the children for the sake of the career. On the flip side, I have also seen working parents go the extra mile to provide the attention their children need, which is a very difficult task indeed, but they often must sacrifice personal time to sufficiently work those two jobs of raising children and doing well with the career. I am very pleased that I am able to stay at home with my son, although we had to wait several years to be financially stable to do so, nor would I ever allow my husband to have my job. I never imagined just how satisfying and rewarding it is and the experience is certainly more valuable than any pay check I have ever earned! By the way, for parents who do have to work, Christine offered some excellent ideas for getting the most with your children. It takes an enormous amount of work, but they are certainly worth it!posted 02/18/2004 by borgprotocol
Christine, I think that your on family days/nights was really great. And I think that all families could benefit from that not just ones with both parents working!! Thanksposted 02/18/2004 by JefferyH
A baby knows its mother. If you don't spend enough time with your baby because of work, then spend all the time with your baby when you get the chance. Make that moment special like talking and playing and doing things together. They grow up too fast. I am on maternity leave right now and need to go back to work in 4 weeks. I wish I had more time with my baby, but I am making the most of it right now. There will always be a special bond between mother and her child not the same as the child and nanny.posted 02/18/2004 by herazeus
jolene, this isn't the 1950's! exactly what barriers are you speaking of? if a woman "wants it all" then by all means, go for it! i just mean that we have the womb, the breasts why shouldn't we stay home. maybe we should question the fact that most working women in the usa are lucky if they get the standard 6 weeks "maternity leave" much less if its paid. i work 10 hours at a very physically demanding job because i get paid well and we need the money. it isn't a big deal except for when my 7 week old has been up all night and my 3 year old is bouncing off the walls.....and then i still have to go to work. things are tough all over but kids are only this age RIGHT NOW!! i want to see it!posted 02/17/2004 by serami

The 'Station Diderot' bus station designed by Marcaurel Catarina allows passengers to wait for their ride in style.
The transportation system uplift is inspired by the laid back cafe environment as Catarina envisions a future where people can sip coffee while they wait, grab a sandwich, break out the tunes, charge a cellphone or even borrow a book. Sounds more like a hipster coffee shop than a bus stop, right? Citing quality and comfort as the heart of the project, the Paris Boulevard project hopes to attract more people to consider public transportation. The addition of a bike rental feature only underscores the bus shelter's commitment to the environment.
By giving the world's cities' infrastructure a face-lift, day-to-day dealings may be carried out with added convenience and comfort all while being more environmentally conscious.

I have been on a waiting list from my LGS for a Shield for over a year now. Actually, I forgot I was on the list. In the meantime I had purchased a KelTec PF9.
When I got the call about the Shield I took a look at it and bought it.
My comparison of the Shield and the PF9 are the same as what I have read other places on this forum. The Shield is just a hair bigger, and just a little heavier. The PF9 was never fun to shoot, it is very snappy and has a very uncomfortable trigger. The Shield on the other hand is a joy to shoot.
However, I didn't buy either gun to be a range shooter, I bought them to be a self defense weapon. The truth of the matter is that the PF9 NEVER failed to go bang when I pulled the trigger, and I'm sure that it was fine for what I purchased it for.
I guess I'm feeling guilty because I read so many negative comments by internet warriors about the PF9 that it put doubt in my mind and therefore I bought the Shield when the opportunity presented itself.
Somehow I just feel more confident in the Shield, even though the KelTec was flawless in it's performance.
On the plus side, now I own both !!

This is a fabulous idea. What did you use to create it. I am wanting a booking system for english teachers to book sets of books to use with their classes. Where do I even start? We aren't GAFE yet either.
A few weeks ago, I went to my doctor (don't worry, I'm all good!). In order to make an appointment with him, I had to go to a booking site, find a time slot that was open, book it and that was it! Over the next few days, the website stuck in my head; so flexible and convenient.
I thought, "Why doesn't our district have one for teachers!?" Because no one has thought about it! We offer a Help Desk system to our teachers when they have technical problems with technology. However, why don't we offer them some kind of website where they can control their own training and professional development from within the district?
In building our booking website, we were able to link our Google Calendar to the website. The time slots we create revolve around the openings in our calendar. That means that if anyone in the district needs training on technology, they simply go to the website, find a time slot that is flexible for them and is available in my calendar and just Book It! So simple! We have teachers around our district booking appointments without worry about being confined to any after school professional learning. If the slot is open during their planning period, they book it and we show up to do a training on any tech tool!
The greatest thing about having this website is how convenient it is for both ends! We have a link in our district website that teachers simply click and swoosh, they're there! They just find a technology training they want and book it! Teachers are busy people with a lot on their minds. Add training to the mix and things can get overwhelming. Having a booking site made one thing in their list (professional learning) easy as 1, 2, 3! Creating a booking site that offered technology training has been fantastic for our teachers since they are being evaluated even more on the use of technology in the classroom!
Nothing is better than giving teachers control over their professional learning. If there is one reason why you should start this today, it should be this! Teachers love the fact that they can choose what they want to learn so they can bring it into the classroom! They want to learn something that is meaningful to them. They are just like students, they want control over their learning!
This is a fabulous idea. What did you use to create it. I am wanting a booking system for english teachers to book sets of books to use with their classes. Where do I even start? We aren't GAFE yet either.
Agree with Catherine! Great idea. I would like to implement a system like this in my school!
What tool are you using? Where can I find more information about this post? Can I see how it looks like?
Who is in charge of the sessions? How did you start? What type of sessions are offered?
Thank you!
I think that this is a great idea. I would love to have something like this in my district. It would make it so much easier to get my professional development done before the end of the year. I would love to see more about this so I don't have to sit through as many boring faculty meetings.

Electricity Restored to Japan Nuclear Plant
Submitted by Mark Berman Opp... on Mar 22, 2011
A sign of progress at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan -- workers have been able to restore electricity to the plant. The hope is that with the power lines in place, officials can restart the plant's cooling system that was knocked out during the earthquake and tsunami.
However, Tokyo Electric Power Co. warned that the damage sustained to all of the equipment must still be checked before turning on the cooling system at all four reactors. That could takes days or even weeks.

I don't raise butterflies indoors. I have alot of milkweed on my property, but I don't get to see some things up close very often. So I'm sort of ignorant of the different instars, etc. I've been watching this monarch cat for a couple days. Today it looked like this. Can you tell me anything about it? I hope it's not dead. |

The more images I look at online, makes me think something has killed it? (a parasite?) I took this pic around 11a.m. I went back out around 7p.m., and it was gone. Can shedding the skin and then eating eat, then moving away happen within 8 hours? |

Darnit. :( I wonder if this is common in the wild? Thanks Sherry. |
Caterpillars in the wild die more than 90% of the time. They succumb to predators, disease, starvation, weather extremes and all kinds of other challenges. That is why many of us enjoy bringing the eggs or caterpillars inside to raise where they are protected from most of the dangers. This increases their chances of living to adulthood dramatically, and allows them a chance to mate and lay more eggs. Simply providing sources of nectar and host plants in our gardens can also help tremendously, but they will have frequent run-ins with predators, etc. Martha |
Sadly this also happened to the first monarch cat I found and brought in this year. It was already a 2nd or 3rd instar and when it appeared to be preparing to molt it was still for over a day and then finally looked just like this before falling off the leaf and turning to goo. Thankfully today I found 20 eggs to bring in and raise. Last year I didn't get to raise any. I don't have nearly as much success raising found caterpillars as found eggs. Many cats seem to be already infected with something before I bring them in. I also have never found a butterfly chrysalis outside. Granted they are well camouflaged, but I have still never found one. I have found quite a few buried pupae that were probably moths while digging in soil though. They are probably more protected from predators down there. |
Sorry catherinet, I have a friend that loves to watch them. I set up a container for her with a potted plant. She just sent me a picture of two of the three eggs that I gave her. Now they are chrysalis. Even in a container, not all the Monarchs live. If you decide you want to give it a try, I have posted "Monarch Rearing Tips" below. Don't bother trying to log on to the Monarch Watch Forum. You will get better info here. Take care and happy butterflying. The caterpillar looks to be second to third instar. It is probably dead and it could be a predator or disease. That is part of the natural world. Only about 10% of the eggs laid will make it to adult. |

Thanks everyone. I tend to let nature do its thing without me. But I've been wondering.......do you think raising butterflies indoors does anything to them that would make living in the "real world" more difficult? I feel that nature is much smarter than me and knows how to keep things balanced. But..........mankind has sure upset that balance. I live in the middle of farmland. I sure hope that doesn't put all the butterflies at risk. Fortunately, my immediate neighbor farmer is trying to do more natural farming. Our 35 acres has really become a jungle.......and I love it! Many of the animals/birds/insects are doing great. But the butterflies have been dwindling. I think its like the canaries in the mines. :( |

July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Best Buy Co. founder Richard Schulze has been recruiting executives to help lead the retailer if his attempt to take the company private is successful, according to a senior Best Buy executive.
"He is talking to people he trusts," J.D. Wilson, senior vice president of enterprise capabilities, said in an interview. "There is a small group he'd like to have with him in righting the ship. He is serious as a heart attack." Wilson, who said his position is being eliminated as part of Best Buy's cutbacks, was approached by Schulze in June and said he would work for the company if a deal went through.
Schulze also has been seeking to recruit other executives such as former Chief Executive Officer Brad Anderson, said a person familiar with the matter. Anderson has told other former Best Buy executives he is interested in joining Schulze's effort, the person said.
Schulze, 71, has been exploring taking the world's largest electronics retailer private after stepping down as chairman last month, a person familiar with the matter has said. An internal probe found he failed to tell the board about allegations that then-CEO Brian Dunn was having an inappropriate relationship with a female employee. Schulze said when he resigned that he would consider all options, including selling his 20 percent stake in the Richfield, Minnesota-based company.
Through a spokesman, Schulze declined to comment. Bruce Hight, a spokesman for Best Buy, declined to comment. Anderson didn't immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Shares Rise
Best Buy rose 2.7 percent to $18.24 at 9:41 a.m. in New York after advancing as much as 5.9 percent. The shares had fallen 24 percent this year through July 27.
While Schulze has had discussions with several former executives interested in rejoining the company, he hasn't reached an agreement with anyone, said a person familiar with the matter. He has also been speaking with potential investors and private-equity funds about raising money from them, said this person.
Best Buy has struggled as customers migrated to Amazon.com Inc. and other online merchants, posting a net loss of $1.23 billion on revenue of $50.7 billion for the fiscal year that ended in March, its first annual loss since 1991, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Same-store sales have declined in seven of the last eight quarters.
It will be challenging for Schulze to find private-equity firms willing to take on the risks associated with Best Buy and to help fund a transaction, Michael Pachter, an analyst for Wedbush Securities Inc. in Los Angeles, said last month. Best Buy's cash flow will keep declining and the company will continue to lose money, he said.
A buyout of Best Buy would cost at least $30 a share to convince long-time investors to sell, Anthony Chukumba, an analyst at BB&T Capital Markets in New York, said last month. That would equate to a total value of about $11 billion, including net debt.

Newbie 2 (Illusive)
Hi all,
We are sailing people, sure, but haven't been on our own boat ( 30' Catalina tall mast) for 3 seasons. We had some personal issues with aging parents etc, so had to keep her out of the water. We are looking forward to getting some tips on some things we need to do to get her launched either this season or next. We sail most of the time on the Mississippi's beautiful Lake Pepin. From Red Wing to Wabasha, Minnesota. Have typically kept her at Pepin Marina, on the Wisconsin side. Love to sail in Lake Superior, Apostle Islands, and sometimes Lake Waconia and Lake Minnetonka crewing for a race fleet. Cruising is our pleasure as a couple though. I'll bet you all have heard that before.:o We have bottom work to do, totally clean inside ( had some water over the season), and stuffing box issue. There are others certainly, but we want to stay positive ! Good to be here fellow sailors all ! |
I had a similar problem with my previous boat though it was bought on more by financial problems. Now that we are back on the water all I can do is regret those lost years but you cannot get them back so get into it and get back out there. Cheers. |

I love your quote on the dog read .. we love our Shih Zhu name Buster, and he loves to sail.
We are really looking forward to it ..sailing , and hope to enlist a little help to get her sea ready from our friends ! Any one with suggestions on stuffing box please advise. |

Web.com Tour
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Brad Fritsch of Canada earned full status on the Web.com Tour by closing with a 5-under 66 to win the qualifying tournament by seven shots. It was the second-widest margin at Q-school in the last 25 years.
It would appear 62 is the number you need to shoot if you hope to contend at this year's Utah Championship. Following J.J. Killeen's first-round, 9-under 62, Jeff Gove, a three-time Nationwide Tour winner, fired a 62 of his own Friday at Willow Creek Country Club.

I have a 18" azalea hat ended up in the strong sun last summer after my large 60' locust tree which provided shade for it, died. I decided to transplant it to a shadier spot last month. It only has leaves on the tips of the branches and very few buds. When I cut on the branches below the leaves, all the stems are healthy green. Show I shear the top 8-10" off the bush and hope leaves start to appear below the cutting? Would you give it some food at this time? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not remove over 1/3 of the leaves at any one time. Since it is stressed, it won't snap back like a more vigorous plant. You can start by breaking off the highest leaf buds when they open. This will stimulate the lower buds to grow better. |

Thanks as well for those links. It actually got me riled up again over the LCBO banning Dan Akroyd's Crystal Skull vodka (a canadian product!) in Ontario, based on the shape of the bottle – the only jurisdiction in North America (the world?) to do so!
I fired off a ranting complaint at LCBO's site and would encourage others to do so.

Millers the sh!t
What ya think about Randy Moss for a year? I know he has ego or commitment issues or what not but, I'm pretty sure that Ben can and would love give him the attention randy needs to be a happy camper. I'd prefer a WR that can catch and will fight for a catch than a fast bum who needs the ball PERFECTLY thrown (which Ben has issues with) to make a deep connection. I seriously think its worth a legite shot.

A New Home for Bird Clean-Up
HAMMOND (WVLA) - Birds affected by the Crisis on the Coast are headed to a new place to get cleaned up and eventually back in the air.
Since the Crisis began - birds have been at the Fort Jackson Wildlife Center near Buras to get cleaned and rehabilitated.
But as we get deeper into hurricane season - BP is making the call to move the operation inland.
Pevey Construction has been contracted by BP to take a warehouse in Hammond and turn it into a Bird Rehabilitation Center - and they have until July 23rd to do it.
Workers say they know the project is a big one - but the cooperation, and their goal of seeing birds fly oil-free again is helping the process move quickly and smoothly.

NASA Selects Small Businesses For Innovative Research And Technology Projects
WASHINGTON, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA has selected 44 additional proposals from 42 small high-technology companies to enter into negotiations for Phase 2 contract awards through the agency's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO)
Valued at about $30.7 million, these selections complement 39 Phase 2 proposals announced in November.
"These additional Phase 2 SBIR selections continue the successful legacy of the SBIR program to bring needed new technologies to NASA and the American marketplace," said Michael J. Gazarik, associate administrator for space technology at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Small businesses are the innovation incubators of the new global technology economy. These companies conduct the early stage research and development that enables future NASA missions in aeronautics, science, and exploration."
NASA's SBIR Program partners with small businesses to catalyze efforts to develop new technologies to support the agency's technology needs. The program addresses specific technology gaps in agency missions and also strives to complement other NASA research investments. In addition to meeting NASA's needs, the Phase 2 proposals also provide innovative research in areas that have commercial applications. For a complete list of selected companies, visit: http://sbir.nasa.gov SBIR is a competitive, awards-based program that encourages U.S. small businesses to engage in federal research and development and bring new technologies to the global marketplace. It enables businesses to explore new technologies and potentially profit from development of new commercial products and services. SBIR's three-phase award system provides qualified small businesses, including those owned by women and the disadvantaged, with opportunities to propose unique ideas that meet specific research and development needs of the federal government. Phase 1 is a feasibility study to evaluate the scientific and technical merit of an idea. Awards last as long as six months. The selected Phase 2 projects will expand on the results of Phase 1 projects selected last year, with as much as $700,000 to support research lasting as long as two years. Phase 3 is for the commercialization of the results of Phase 2 and requires the use of private sector or non-SBIR federal funding. NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., manages the SBIR Program for the agency's Space Technology Program. NASA's 10 field centers manage individual projects.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Police supported expanding background checks to all private gun sales, but the NRA voiced its opposition.
A move to require background checks for nearly all gun transactions attracted a big crowd and strong emotions at the Legislature on Thursday.
"This is the public safety issue of the legislative session," said Dennis Flaherty, representing state police officers and speaking in favor of the proposal.
"A lot of folks just don't want their firearms tracked, taxed or taken," said Chris Rager of the National Rifle Association, leading the charge against the bill.
Unlike the House, Senate leaders on Thursday immediately declared that a ban on assault-style weapons and other gun restrictions would not be under consideration, directing their efforts instead to a proposal for universal background checks, which rapidly is becoming the main battleground for this year's gun debate. The bill would require background checks of virtually all sales of handguns and semiautomatic rifles, including those sold privately, at gun shows or through the Internet.
The debate, part of the national fallout over the massacre of grade-schoolers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December, has filled committee rooms in St. Paul. It also has sparked a flurry of gun owners who want to carry their loaded weapons into the Capitol itself.
Licensed permit-holders may carry their weapons into the Capitol so long as they notify the Department of Public Safety. When the legislative session opened in January, there were 523 such notifications. As of Thursday, that number had spiked to 723 — an increase of 38 percent in six weeks. By comparison, in 2012 there were only 56 new gun-carrying notifications during the entire year.
On Thursday, as was the case when the House held similar hearings earlier this month, those wearing NRA and Second Amendment buttons outnumbered those on the gun-control and law-enforcement side.
Both sides were equally passionate.
Sen. Bobby Joe Champion, DFL-Minneapolis, said his bill aims to fill a gap in the current background check system — those person-to-person sales that are not now subject to such checks. Champion pointed out that his father is a hunter and that his bill is not aimed at the masses of law-abiding gun owners. He said transactions between family members would not be covered.
Closing the door
Flaherty, representing the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, said national estimates show that 40 percent of all gun sales happen outside the federal or state background-check system. He said the number in Minnesota might be higher.
"We are not doing enough to protect the citizens of our state from gun violence," said Flaherty. "This bill closes the door to people who should not have a handgun."
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, also arguing for the expanded checks, said the current system is akin to boarding a flight in which 40 percent of the passengers are not required to go through security. "Wouldn't that make you less likely to fly?" he said.
Two people touched by gun violence — Samuel Rahamim, whose father died in the Accent Signage shootings in Minneapolis last September, and Mary Streufert, whose daughter was killed in 1991 — urged the committee to take action.
"Minnesota gun victims deserve a vote on these bills," Streufert said.
The NRA's Rager questioned the 40 percent number, saying the actual number of nonchecked sales is much smaller. He accused Champion of essentially "banning private sales" by requiring that the two parties go through a licensed gun dealer and pay a fee for the background checks. He said it already is illegal for someone to sell weapons for profit without a license, adding, "There is no gun-show loophole."
One new wrinkle in the debate is that some gun-rights supporters find themselves on the same side as mental-health advocates. The bill contains language that would allow officers to deny permits to a larger number of people who have struggled with mental illness — not just those who have been committed in a court proceeding.
Would veterans be affected?

Movie review
'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' dark and alluring
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," based on the 1974 novel by John le Carré, can be a bit confusing if you've never read the book, but this dark and alluring film offers pleasures that go far beyond who-said-what-to-whom, according to Seattle Times film critic Moira Macdonald. Directed by Tomas Alfredson and starring Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Kathy Burke and others, the film is playing at several Seattle theaters.
Seattle Times movie critic
'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,' with Gary Oldman, Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones, David Dencik, Svetlana Khodchenkova. Directed by Tomas Alfredson, from a screenplay by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan, based on the novel by John le Carré. 130 minutes. Rated R for violence, some sexuality/nudity and language. Several theaters.
Trailer: 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
Tomas Alfredson's alluring "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" has a murkiness to it that perfectly fits a spy film; you need to pay attention, or the story will slip away into the shadows.
Based on John le Carré's blockbuster 1974 novel (previously filmed as a multi- episode miniseries for the BBC in 1979, starring Alec Guinness), the film efficiently trims a labyrinthine story down to just over two hours; those not already familiar with the plot and its use of multiple flashbacks may find themselves scrambling to catch up. But it's refreshing to encounter a film that doesn't talk down to its audience, and its pleasures go far beyond who-said-what-to-whom-when.
I first watched the movie without reading the book and enjoyed the plot twists, even as I found much of it confusing. Then I read the book, and it all made sense. But if I'd read the book first, I'd have anticipated many of the movie's surprises, so I'm not necessarily recommending that those unfamiliar with the book read it before seeing the movie. One non-spoiler tip, though, for anyone puzzled by the movie's flashbacks: Watch Smiley's glasses. He gets a new pair in the beginning of the film, so you can identify flashbacks — which aren't otherwise called out with dates or any other helpful identifiers — by which glasses he's wearing.
Smiley is, of course, George Smiley, one of fiction's most famous spies, and played here with an uncanny stillness by Gary Oldman. Previously forced out of the Circus (le Carré's code name for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service), Smiley is called back for a new secret mission: to identify a mole working for Russia in the home office. Smiley learns that his former boss, Control (John Hurt), had been investigating the case, and had narrowed it down to five suspects and colleagues code-named Tinker (Toby Jones), Tailor (Colin Firth), Soldier (Ciarán Hinds), Poor Man (David Dencik) — and Smiley himself, the Spy.
Shot in a London in which everything seems to be muddy brown or gray, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" unfolds like a chess game: indeed, one of its many striking images is a set of chess pieces, with photos of suspects inexpertly taped to them.
The film emerges as an unlikely star turn for Oldman, who lets us see Smiley ever-thinking, and whose face with its owlish glasses becomes the movie's still point. (He even swims with those glasses on.) Secrets and regrets elegantly hang over this story and these performances, like a London fog. "Beware of head entrapment," warns a sign at Circus headquarters, on the split-door elevator; it's a fair warning for a film that stays with you long after it's over.

Someone pushed a NEW chair mat up into a corner and therefore it has become badly wrinkled. I placed it in direct sunlight for several days, and though it helped a little, it is still not flat! Any ideas on how to flatten it? |

Not quite "disaster" material, but I would heat it with a hair dryer or a tub of hot water and then set heavy boxes on it for a few days. Have an electric blanket or heated mattress pad? Either could be made use of to warm the thing before allowing it to cool while under something heavy. Or call the manufacturer and ask. Seeing as it took the curled shape in room temperature I'm betting just something heavy and flat on top of it for a week would probably do it even without the warmth. |

LOCAL 12 - Search Results
Support for a HomeTown Hero
CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- Morris Furniture Co., Inc. in Fairborn, Ohio has partnered with PNC Bank to provide new furniture to an injured Army veteran and his family.
Army Specialist Brett Bondurant was five months into his first deployment when he lost his legs in an IED blast in the Southwest Kandahar Provence, Afghanistan on September 28, 2011. He also suffered severe injuries to both arms. SPC Bondurant grew up in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and married his high school sweetheart, London.
Brett, London and their five-month old daughter, Jacee, returned to Lawrenceburg and received a newly constructed, handicapped-accessible home through the generosity of Homes for Our Troops, an organization that builds new homes for injured veterans. Construction was completed and a special dedication ceremony took place on Saturday, February 8th.
Morris and PNC Bank, along with media partners Local 12, The Enquirer and Cincinnati.com, are asking our community to help by making a donation for this family at a PNC Bank branch. Morris Furniture Co., Inc. will match every dollar raised for the Bondurant family, up to $12,500. This means $12,500 in community donations will result in $25,000 in home furnishings for this worthy soldier.
Bondurant shared on the Homes for Our Troops website, As a disabled veteran, it is hard to stay positive at times, especially since I am faced with many challenges on a daily basis, even in my own home. Having an accessible home, built to meet my specific needs will erase some of those challenges, giving me back my independence and also giving much more hope for me and for my familys future.
Morris Furniture Co., Inc. and PNC Bank have teamed up to provide furniture, mattresses and accessories for this deserving family. The furniture will be provided by the companys Morris Home Furnishings, Ashley Furniture HomeStore and Better Sleep Shop showrooms located in Springdale, Ohio.
When we heard that this family was receiving a new home and were without furniture, we knew we had to help them, said, Larry Klaben, President/CEO. Its part of our company mission to Make Homes Great, especially for a family that sacrificed so much for our country. Im happy to welcome the Bondurant family into their new home and am honored to provide these items to them.
Klaben said, "We are confident that our community will support this worthy family by donating to this campaign. We are pleased with the response we have already received from many people interested in helping this dedicated serviceman who was injured in the line of duty."
PNC Bank has established an account for the Bondurant family and is asking the community to make a donation at their local branch. Morris Furniture Co., Inc. will match the donations raised. Contributions can be made at any PNC Bank branch, or by mail to PNC Bank, 201 E Fifth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202. Checks should be made payable to: American Legion Post #239/Bondurant Fund.
