the letter i've been sending:\n                             A group of 6 or so friends from my school and I will be cycling to Amsterdam, Holland from London, UK and back, sometime July 2006 after all our exams. This would be for C.L.I.C (Cancer and Leukaemia in Children) and all profits made via this long cycle will be given to this charity. As we are only 15 (some of us will be 16 by then) we are looking for a sponsor to lend a hand. We will have adults coming along to help us and keep us safe  and have our own technician to fix our bikes; we are all on road bikes.\nWe thought that we should ask a leading company with a cool image if they are willing to help us. we need a little money to be able to get there in the first palce, to then be able to raise money for CLIC so any contributions would make a difference, or anything else you may think would help.\nAny way you could help would be highly appreciated.\nbest wishes\nfed

Awesome news!\n\n  I was unaware of this, so thanks for the good news.\nIvan is a great cyclist, with a great attitude and one of the best mountain climbers in the world (easily in the top 5).\nI think Basso is a much better fit with the Discovery Team then with his old CSC team. \n\nI'm also a big fan of Tyler Hamilton, who was suspended, due to doping (wrongly) accusations two years ago. Tyler has a very similar riding style, when compared with Ivan Basso.\n\nRemember all of the past TDFs where Lance Armstrong and Hamilton where always side by side on the mountain. stages? I don't know if Ivan would be able to endure the pain that Tyler did in the 2003 TDF, where at the end of stage 1, he was involved in a 35 rider accident where he broke his collar-bone in two places. He continued on to win the 17th stage and finish the Tour in 4th place overall.\n\nSo, as far as Discovery Team taking on Tyler's 28 year old, Ex-CSC teammate, Ivan Basso?  It should be an awesome move for everyone involved. \n\nI could easily see Ivan taking the Discovery team back to the Yellow, hopefully restoring the world's confidence in an American team once again.\n\nI can hardly wait!\n\nResponse to Ross:\n\n   By the way Ross, watch that stage again!  Ivan never beat Lance! That mountain stage win was a courtesy win given as a gift to Basso from Armstrong. Lance has a lot of respect for Basso and considered him to be a rider that could one day take his place. Watch the tour footage and you'll see Lance wave Basso on before reaching the finish. Lance gave up several yellow jerseys to other riders that he felt deserved it, as long as he had the overall lead, that was all that matterd to Lance.\n\nResponse to Doping Accusations by the (angry) Europeans:\n\nI myself, have never touched a drug in my life, yet years ago I tested positive twice, by the sport I was involved in. I retested again and was found innocent on both accounts.\n\nThan again when I was 17, I failed a polygraph that I was completely truthful on. I didn't get the job I was applying for, but I learned an important life lesson, not all test are fair and without fault.\n\nAs far as Floyd Landis, I can't be sure one way or the other. I hope that Landis is innocent, but that jury is still out for now.\n\nAs far as Tyler Hamilton, I without a doubt believe that he was wrongfully accused and hopefully he will soon be vindicated.\n\nEuropeans: Get over it! The Americans are here, they're viable contenters and they're here to stay. So shut up, get in that saddle and ride.

I just want to say that I'm glad you are doing this for some serviceman somewhere. I'm in the RAF and joined up shortly after I finished school. It was my first time away from my family for more than two weeks and felt very homesick for ages. My friends and family sent me letters while I was at basic training and they really kept me going. I agree that you shouldn't mention the school project thing, but take an interest in the guy/girl you are writing to and tell them some interesting things that you are up to. It'll make their day, believe me! Good luck for the future and I hope you get to write to someone you'll become good friends with!!  :-D

If you're going to have anybody pitching your product around here these days, you couldn't do much better than Lindy Ruff. \nWith a big assist from the Sabres' head coach, some Clarence Central School District youngsters are closing in on their goal of raising enough money to travel later this month to Knoxville, Tenn. They will compete in the global finals of the Destination ImagiNation tournament, a kind of mental Olympics in which student teams do creative problem solving. \n\nThe vehicle to get them there - aside from the bus on which they'll travel - is a rubber wristband. Kids and their parents are selling 6,000 of them in the Sabres' old and new team color combinations, as a fund-raiser. \n\nRuff purchased four of the rubber bracelets for good luck, then talked about them at a news conference earlier this week. His endorsement appears to be paying off, according to Helena Kleinlein, president of Clarence "DI" Boosters, a parent organization that assists the student teams and conducts fund-raisers. The group already had raised about $8,000. \n\n"I don't think [Ruff] actually meant to endorse the bracelets. I think he was just being a good sport and supporting the children, but we do appreciate his comments," Kleinlein said. \n\n"I would imagine the words "Creative Teamwork' that appear on the bands might have struck home with some and, perhaps, that is what any team manager hopes to achieve with their team," she added. \n\nAnd as his team gels into playoff success, it's what Ruff has had in mind for the Sabres. That's the same lesson Kleinlein hopes will be instilled in the young participants in the Destination ImagiNation competition. \n\n"I absolutely see parallels," Kleinlein said. "When you begin the year . . . with seven individuals [on a team], each of these students thinks that their idea is the biggest and brightest. The challenge, as a team manager, is to get the children to step back and listen to their teammates and find a way to work together to accomplish a goal. \n\n"Once a team becomes a family, that is when they can really achieve greatness. They respect each other, they listen to each and they acknowledge good points that everyone brings up. They use each other to raise the team higher," she said. \n\nSeven teams from the Clarence School District qualified for the state competition, held April 8 in Binghamton. Ruff's youngest children, 11-year-old twins Brian and Madeleine, are on one of the three Clarence teams that qualified for the global finals, scheduled for May 24-27. \n\nThis is the fourth year teams from Clarence have been in the competition, and the second year that any have made it to the global finals. \n\nKathy Cipresso, treasurer of the "DI" Boosters, has a daughter on one of the three teams in the finals. This year's team is made up of elementary and middle schoolers. \n\n"We're trying to grow the program. There's such an interest now that we may end up having a high school team next year," Cipresso said. \n\nTeams from all 50 states are in the global finals, as well as teams from Israel, China, Great Britain, France and Spain. \n\nAt the invitation of the Sabres organization, the youngsters and their parent boosters were at the HSBC Arena pavilion before the start of Game Four Thursday to sell what remained of their rubber wristband inventory. The items were sold for $2 apiece. \n\n"The goal is to make sure that the travel expenses of the children and their team managers are met. It's imperative that the children are not held back by finances," said Kleinlein. \n\nDoes it matter to them that those buying the bracelets may have been motivated more by helping the Sabres than assisting Clarence Destination ImagiNation team? Not really, said Kleinlein. \n\n"The message on the bracelet is far-reaching. If it has another meaning for some, that&#39

I received a letter from this group stating that I won an award, I threw it in the trash and started investigating. It is a fraudulent organization. Also, be aware that a letter is being circulated in which a person posing as an artist is looking for someone to open an account in their country in order to accept money orders and send the cash to them in the Netherlands. Don't fall for this ploy. A lady accepted a large sum of money in the form of Money Orders from a person who wanted to move to the U. S. The person, a few days later, wanted her to send two thousand dollars to him, stating that it was an emergency, \nshe sent the money only to find out that the money orders had been stolen and she was out two thousand dollars and had a visit from the authorities. Let's use our smarts in these situations.

Since they started the re-cycling in my area, I am amazed at the amount of times I have received leaflets changing the times, days, what rubbish can go where and what can't! This year alone, the council have changed it 3 times-talk about practice what they preach! Some of the leaflets are glossy as well....now where shall I put this one? As for the fly tipping, we all know who will end up paying for that to be cleared as well. Will we ever win with this one? Yours is a good idea though.

My apartment building burned to the ground on January 26,2003.\nApproximately 30 people including myself lost every thing they owned. I lost my car when the building collapsed and managed to walk away that morning with just my daughter, my dog and my purse. \nPeople from all over the county came together to make sure every family in that building had a place to stay that night.\nChurches and civic groups arranged to have furniture and housewares donated by merchants in the area, families donated \nclothes, housewares and more furniture.  Total strangers donated $ to a fund set up to help each family get into a new apartment and to make sure their utilities were connected.\nI worked at a car dealership @ the time and the owner of the dealership gave me a car to drive until I had saved up enough $ to pay for it.\nI had $96.00 in my bank account and an 8 year old daughter to support and was left with absolutely nothing due to something beyond my control and total strangers chose to help me and make sure that I had everything my family needed to get on with our lives.\nI have a completely new understanding of what people's kindness can do. I want to be able to make people realize that you can start over, all you may need is a hand.
