    A good cellphone for biking?

    I’m wanting a new phone for biking. I need it to be small, preferably flip, and obviously won’t break easily since I’ll be falling on it alot. Carriers and a issue at the moment. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

      Her hair was up in a ponytail
      Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
      Today was Daddy’s Day at school,
      And she couldn’t wait to go.

      But her mommy tried to tell her,
      That she probably should stay home.
      Why the kids might not understand,
      If she went to school alone.

      But she was not afraid;
      She knew just what to say.
      What to tell her classmates
      Of why he wasn’t there today.

      But still her mother worried,
      For her to face this day alone.
      And that was why once again,
      She tried to keep her daughter home.

      But the little girl went to school,
      Eager to tell them all.
      About a dad she never sees
      A dad who never calls.

      There were daddies along the wall in back,
      For everyone to meet.
      Children squirming impatiently,
      Anxious in their seats.

      One by one the teacher called,
      A student from the class.
      To introduce their daddy,
      As seconds slowly passed.

      At last the teacher called her name,
      Every child turned to stare.
      Each of them was searching,
      For a man who wasn’t there.

      "Where’s her daddy at?"
      She heard a boy call out.
      "She probably doesn’t have one,"
      Another student dared to shout.

      And from somewhere near the back,
      She heard a daddy say,
      "Looks like another deadbeat dad,
      Too busy to waste his day."

      The words did not offend her,
      As she smiled up at her Mom.
      And looked back at her teacher,
      Who told her to go on.

      And with hands behind her back,
      Slowly she began to speak.
      And out from the mouth of a child,
      Came words incredibly unique.

      "My Daddy couldn’t be here,
      Because he lives so far away."
      But I know he wishes he could be,
      Since this is such a special day.

      And though you cannot meet him,
      I wanted you to know.
      All about my daddy,
      And how much he loves me so.

      He loved to tell me stories
      He taught me to ride my bike.
      He surprised me with pink roses,
      And taught me to fly a kite.

      We used to share fudge sundaes,
      And ice cream in a cone.
      And though you cannot see him,
      I’m not standing here alone.

      "Cause my daddy’s always with me,
      Even though we are apart
      I know because he told me,
      He’ll forever be in my heart"

      With that, her little hand reached up,
      And lay across her chest.
      Feeling her own heartbeat,
      Beneath her favorite dress.

      And from somewhere in the crowd of dads,
      Her mother stood in tears.
      Proudly watching her daughter,
      Who was wise beyond her years.

      For she stood up for the love
      Of a man not in her life.
      Doing what was best for her,
      Doing what was right.

      And when she dropped her hand back down,
      Staring straight into the crowd.
      She finished with a voice so soft,
      But its message clear and loud.

      "I love my daddy very much,
      He’s my shining star.
      And if he could, he’d be here,
      But heaven’s just too far."

      You see he was a fireman
      And died just this past year
      When airplanes hit the towers
      And taught Americans to fear.

      But sometimes when I close my eyes,
      "It’s like he never went away."
      And then she closed her eyes,
      And saw him there that day.

      And to her mother’s amazement,
      She witnessed with surprise.
      A room full of daddies and children,
      All starting to close their eyes.

      Who knows what they saw before them,
      Who knows what they felt inside.
      Perhaps for merely a second,
      They saw him at her side.

      "I know you’re with me Daddy,"
      To the silence she called out.
      And what happened next made believers,
      Of those once filled with doubt.

      Not one in that room could explain it,
      For each of their eyes had been closed.
      But there on the desk beside her,
      Was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

      And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
      By the love of her shining bright star.
      And given the gift of believing,
      That heaven is never too far

      They say it takes a minute to find a
      special person, an hour to
      appreciate them, a day to love them, but
      then an entire life to forget them.

      Send this to the people you’ll never
      forget and remember to send
      it also to the person that sent it to you.
      It’s short message to let them know that
      you’ll never forget them.

      If you don’t send it to anyone, it means
      you’re in a hurry and that
      you’ve forgot your friends.
      Take the time…to live and love

        Personally, I think that electronic fences and shock collars are cruel. Electronic training devices such as electronic fences and anti-barking collars rely on painful punishment and negative reinforcement, causing dogs to live in fear of being electrocuted for normal behaviors like crossing invisible lines, barking, and jumping onto surfaces within their own homes. Dogs wearing shock collars can suffer from physical pain and injury (ranging from burns to cardiac fibrillation) and psychological stress, including severe anxiety and displaced aggression. Dogs whose yards are surrounded by electronic fences may develop fear or aggression aimed at what they believe is the source of the shock (kids riding by on bikes, the mail carrier, the dog next door, etc.). Electronic fences may actually encourage animals to try to escape. A 6-foot privacy fence is best, preventing your dog or intruders from scaling it.

        What do you think?

                  prius towing?

                  My manual says "no towing capacity" I like to kayak or hook up a carrier for a bike or two. Maybe 70 Pd’s for a kayak or 60 Pd’s for two bikes. Am I going to screw up my transmission or something doing that?

                    I am considering purchasing a bicycle trailer for going on rides with my 2 children. I was wondering is it makes the bike more "sturdy" in the sense that it would act like training wheels! I know how to ride a bike, but I’m concerned about dragging the trailer with me.

                      A room full of daddies and children,
                      all starting to close their eyes.

                      Who knows what they saw before them,
                      who knows what they felt inside.
                      Perhaps for merely a second,
                      they saw him at her side.

                      ‘I know you’re with me Daddy,’
                      to the silence she called out.
                      And what happened next made believers,
                      of those once filled with doubt.

                      Not one in that room could explain it,
                      for each of their eyes had been closed.
                      But there on the desk beside her,
                      was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

                      And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
                      by the love of her shining star.
                      And given the gift of believing,
                      that heaven is never too far.

                        Affordable motorcycle insurance?

                        I live in Michigan and currently have motorcycle insurance w/Progressive. Unfortunately, they only offer an annual rate at 0.00. Living in the midwest, I only ride the bike for 5 to 6 months if I’m lucky. Do you know of a reputable insurance carrier that offers monthly or 3 to 6 months coverage??? Its ridiculous to pay for an entire year when I barely ride for half. Thanks!

                            I just bought a second-hand road bicycle to commute around town. It has a lightweight frame, mudguards, luggage carrier, normal handlebars (not drop handlebars), and I guess it is not a racing bike. But the tires are very thin.
                            The Question is: how good are these thin tires suited for the city? I’m not doing any off-road riding. The town where I live has a very good infrastructure for riding bikes (i.e. separate lanes, lowered curbs…), but there are still some bumps, different pavements and tram rails and such.
                            I heard that thin wheels are not suitable for riding on rough terrain, because bumps bend them. Is that correct? How rough is "rough" in that case? Are the city pavements rough?
                            (I realized that thing about the tires late, but I can still return the bike)
                            P.S.: If needed, I can measure the width of the tires/rim.

                              Does anyone know this poems name and author?

                              I found this poem on Yahoo Answers when looking for a poem to recite at school but I neec to know what the name and authors of the poem is…

                              Her hair was up in a ponytail,
                              her favorite dress tied with a bow.
                              Today was Daddy’s Day at school,
                              and she couldn’t wait to go.

                              But her mommy tried to tell her,
                              that she probably should stay home.
                              Why the kids might not understand,
                              if she went to school alone.

                              But she was not afraid;
                              she knew just what to say.
                              What to tell her classmates
                              of why he wasn’t there today.

                              But still her mother worried,
                              for her to face this day alone.
                              And that was why once again,
                              she tried to keep her daughter home.

                              But the little girl went to school
                              eager to tell them all.
                              About a dad she never sees
                              a dad who never calls.

                              There were daddies along the wall in the back,
                              for everyone to meet.
                              Children squirming impatiently,
                              anxious in their seats

                              One by one the teacher called
                              a student from the class.
                              To introduce their daddy,
                              as seconds slowly passed.

                              At last the teacher called her name,
                              every child turned to stare.
                              Each of them was searching,
                              a man who wasn’t there.
                              "Where’s her daddy at?"
                              She heard a boy call out.
                              "She probably doesn’t have one,"
                              another student dared to shout.

                              And from somewhere near the back,
                              she heard a daddy say,
                              "Looks like another deadbeat dad,
                              too busy to waste his day."

                              The words did not offend her,
                              as she smiled up at her Mom.
                              And looked back at her teacher,
                              who told her to go on.

                              And with hands behind her back,
                              slowly she began to speak.
                              And out from the mouth of a child,
                              came words incredibly unique.

                              "My Daddy couldn’t be here,
                              because he lives so far away.
                              But I know he wishes he could be,
                              since this is such a special day.

                              And though you cannot meet him,
                              I wanted you to know.
                              All about my daddy,
                              and how much he loves me so.

                              He loved to tell me stories
                              he taught me to ride my bike.
                              He surprised me with pink roses,
                              and taught me to fly a kite.

                              We used to share fudge sundaes,
                              and ice cream in a cone.
                              And though you cannot see him.
                              I’m not standing here alone.

                              "Cause my
                              daddy’s always with me,
                              even though we are apart
                              I know because he told me,
                              he’ll forever be in my heart"

                              With that, her little hand reached up,
                              and lay across her chest.
                              Feeling her own heartbeat,
                              beneath her favorite dress.

                              And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
                              her mother stood in tears.
                              Proudly watching her daughter,
                              who was wise beyond her years.

                              For she stood up for the love
                              of a man not in her life.
                              Doing what was best for her,
                              doing what was right.

                              And when she dropped her hand back down,
                              staring straight into the crowd.
                              She finished with a voice so soft,
                              but its message clear and loud.

                              "I love my daddy very much;
                              he’s my shining star.
                              And if he could, he’d be here,
                              but heaven’s just too far.

                              You see he is a Marine
                              and died just this past year
                              when a roadside bomb hit his convoy
                              and taught Americans to fear.

                              But sometimes when I close my eyes,
                              it’s like he never went away."
                              And then she closed her eyes,
                              and saw him there that day.

                              And to her mother’s amazement,
                              she witnessed with surprise.
                              A room full of daddies and children,
                              all starting to close their eyes.

                              Who knows what they saw before them,
                              who knows what they felt inside.
                              Perhaps for merely a second,
                              they saw him at her side.

                              "I know you’re with me Daddy,"
                              to the silence she called out.
                              And what happened next made believers,

                                    Daddy’s Poem

                                    Her hair was up in a pony tail,
                                    Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
                                    Today was Daddy’s Day at school,
                                    And she couldn’t wait to go.

                                    But her mommy tried to tell her,
                                    That she probably should stay home.
                                    Why the kids might not understand,
                                    If she went to school alone.

                                    But she was not afraid,
                                    She knew just what to say.
                                    What to tell her classmates,
                                    Of why he wasn’t there today.

                                    But, still her mother worried,
                                    For her to face this day alone.
                                    And that was why once again,
                                    She tried to keep her daughter home…

                                    But the little girl went to school,
                                    Eager to tell them all.
                                    About a dad she never sees,
                                    A dad who never calls.

                                    There were daddies along the wall in back,
                                    For everyone to meet.
                                    Children squirming impatiently,
                                    Anxious in their seats.

                                    One by one the teacher called,
                                    A student from the class.
                                    To introduce their daddy,
                                    As seconds slowly passed.

                                    A man who wasn’t there.

                                    ‘Where’s her daddy at?’,
                                    She heard a boy call out.
                                    ‘She probably doesn’t have one,’
                                    Another student dared to shout.

                                    And from somewhere near the back,
                                    She heard a daddy say,
                                    ‘Looks like another deadbeat dad,

                                    The words did not offend her,
                                    As she smiled up at her Mom.
                                    And looked back at her teacher,
                                    Who told her to go on.

                                    And with hands behind her back,
                                    Slowly she began to speak.
                                    And out from the mouth of a child,
                                    Came words incredibly unique.

                                    ‘My Daddy couldn’t be here,
                                    Because he lives so far away.
                                    But I know he wishes he could be,
                                    Since this is such a special day.

                                    And though you cannot meet him,
                                    I wanted you to know.
                                    All about my daddy,
                                    And how much he loves me so.

                                    He loved to tell me stories,
                                    He taught me to ride my bike.
                                    He surprised me with pink roses,
                                    And taught me to fly a kite..

                                    We used to share fudge sundaes,
                                    And ice cream in a cone.
                                    And though you cannot see him.
                                    I’m not standing here alone.

                                    ‘Cause my daddy’s always with me,
                                    Even though we are apart,
                                    I know because he told me,
                                    He’ll forever be in my heart’.

                                    With that, her little hand reached up,
                                    And lay across her chest.
                                    Feeling her own heartbeat,
                                    Beneath her favorite dress.

                                    And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads,
                                    Her mother stood in tears.
                                    Proudly watching her daughter,
                                    Who was wise beyond her years.

                                    For she stood up for the love,
                                    Of a man not in her life.
                                    Doing what was best for her,
                                    Doing what was right.

                                    And when she dropped her hand back down,
                                    Staring straight into the crowd.
                                    She finished with a voice so soft,
                                    But its message clear and loud.

                                    ‘I love my daddy very much,
                                    He’s my shining star.
                                    And if he could, he’d be here,
                                    But heaven’s just too far.’

                                    You see, he is a Marine,
                                    And died just this past year;
                                    When a roadside bomb hit his convoy,
                                    And taught Americans to fear.

                                    But sometimes when I close my eyes,
                                    It’s like he never went away.
                                    And then she closed her eyes,
                                    And saw him there that day.

                                    And to her mother’s amazement,
                                    They witnessed with surprise.
                                    A room full of daddies and children,
                                    All starting to close their eyes.

                                    Who knows what they saw before them,
                                    Who knows what they felt inside.
                                    Perhaps for merely a second,
                                    They saw him at her side.

                                    ‘I know you’re with me Daddy,’
                                    To the silence she called out.
                                    And what happened next made believers,
                                    Of those once filled with doubt.

                                    Not one in that room could explain it,
                                    For each of their eyes had been closed.
                                    But there on the desk beside her,
                                    Was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

                                    And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
                                    By the love of her shining star.
                                    And given the gift of believing,
                                    That heaven is never too far…

                                      can someone give me lifestyle advice?

                                      i really don’t want to live a mainstream lifestyle, and dont want an office job. i am very interested in the arts (especialy music), and i like unique outdoor sports, like mountain climbing/biking, kayaking, surfing, hiking. i am pretty good with math and science, but i would much prefer a more hands on job, where i am doing something like playing guitar or scuba diving, etc. i know that many people are looking for lifestyles like this, and that carriers that involve things like this are not in high demand and are hard to get into. any advice?
