Use sidewalk chalk and write things or do hopscotch.
Jump rope.
Explore new places.
geocaching.
Go on walks.

who invented the trampoline ?

Q.

Answer
George Nissan

Here is the full info -

The manufactured trampoline, as we know it today, was created by two men, George Nissen and Larry Griswold, allegedly in George's garage. One day in 1935, with the help of the wrestling coach at the University of Iowa, Nissen and Griswold bolted together an iron frame. A piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, was then attached to the frame by using springs. This was the first trampoline. Nissen called it a Trampoline after hearing "El trampolin" (Spanish for diving board), on a performance tour in Mexico around this time, and registered the term as a trademark. In 1942, Griswold and Nissen decided to formalise their small operation of making trampolines. They created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and history was made....
Over to the UK.... In 1949, Ted Blake organised to purchase a second hand Nissen trampoline for Loxford School in Ilford, Essex, from an Aqua Show in Bournemouth. This became the favourite piece of equipment at the school, and they were invited to do a demonstration at the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1956 Ted Blake became Managing Director of a branch of the Nissen Trampoline Company which was set up in England to cope with the British and European markets.

And so on to Europe.... In 1957 Kurt Baechler of Switzerland, who was working in California at the time, flew to Cedar Rapids, signed for Nissen, and together with Frank LaDue worked out a basic introduction to trampolining. They then took the sport to schools in Germany and Switzerland, and set up the Swiss Headquarters of the Nissen Trampoline Corp. in Kurt's home town of Gumligen, Switzerland. In 1958, after a trampoline competition in Zurich, the first international Nissen Cup was held in the town of Wasen, during the month of August.

It was Bob Bollinger of Rockford, Illinois who revolutionized judging of trampolining, introducing a system that is still being used today (with only a few modifications) separating the difficulty from the evaluation of the execution. The very first Open Trampoline Competition in the UK was at a water carnival organised by the Ilford Diving Club in 1957. The winner on this occasion was an Ilford diver by the name of Mick Forge. It could be said that Mick was the first ever British trampoline champion. The first ever televised British Championships were in 1958, and the First (UK) National Trampoline Championships was held at Stanmore Park, Middlesex, UK in 1959. The first World Championships were held in London in 1964.

Soon after the first World Championships in 1964, the inaugural meeting of prominent trampolinists was held in Frankfurt to explore the formation of an International Trampoline Federation. In 1965 in Twickenham, the Federation was formally recognised as the International Governing Body for the sport. By 1969 the first European Championship was held in Paris and Paul Luxon of London was the winner at the age of 18. The ladies winner was Ute Czech from Germany. From that time onwards, European and World Championships have taken place in alternate years - the European in the odd and the World in the even. In 1990, Ron Froehlich (USA) takes over the Presidency. In 1998, the I.O.C. accepted the F.I.T. as a federation. The F.I.T. then underwent fundamental changes. Its structures were dissolved and as of January 1, 1999, Trampoline became a F.I.G. (F�d�ration Internationale de Gymnastique) discipline. Horst Kunze (GER) retained the Chair of the Technical Committee. And then in 2000 Trampoline became "Olympic" in Sydney, Australia.

Tumbling's competitive roots go back even further than that of Trampolining. It was even an Olympic Sport in 1932 when F. Wolfe, USA, was the winner. It was in 1976 that the FIT introduced Tumbling to its disciplines.

The third FIT discipline is Double-Mini Trampolining, which has only emerged as a branch of Trampolining since the mid 1970's. Double Mini-Trampoline competition was added in 1978. The first double mini-trampoline began as two individual mini-tramps, separated by a small table covered by a mat. Later, a one-piece unit was developed by Bob Bollinger and is used today as the official equipment for that event.

Australia
We've all heard how trampolining started in the USA, UK and Europe, but what about Australia....?
Trampolining in Australia started in the late 50s, with a few ex-gymnasts seeing trampolines and trampolining in magazines etc from the USA and UK. This resulted in a couple of trampolines being made here in Australia, one in NSW, and one in Victoria. These trampolines were about 20 feet long, made of 3 inch pipe and were fixed frame ones which were bolted together. Consequently, they had to be taken apart and re-assembled each time they were used. They had the traditional shock cord instead of springs, using just one length that was threaded round the whole trampoline. In the early days the beds were made of canvas, but in the late 50s this was changed to the now familiar woven string bed. A couple of web beds were imported from the US by Allan Ploughman who was the Nissen agent for Australia, but these were rather expensive.

The NSW Association was formed in 1960, with Fred Austine being one of the founding members. The first State Championships of any kind in Australia were held in NSW in 1961, where Fred competed at the tender age of 29. Victoria also held a competition later that year, but it was more of an interclub. Victoria held their first State Championships in 1962.

100 ft garden - what could I put in there?

water trampolines uk image

I may move into the house with a 100ft garden is there really big?
And what stuff can I put in;
I'm thinking;
-trampoline
-cricket nets(how much are these in the uk)
- football posts
Any more suggestions + prices please
Thank you!

Answer
Kaviani9 is right about 100 square feet--do you perhaps mean 100 feet long? If so, you do have room for a trampoline. You also have room for football goalposts, but not a football playing field--these are 300 feet, or 100 yards, long. Likewise with cricket nets, but I'm unfamiliar with the regulation size of cricket court/field/? One thing you may want to consider: If you're renting this property instead of buying, make sure you clear any construction with the owner.

The prices will depend on exactly what you decide to install and where/when your purchase is made--often suppliers will have seasonal sales.

You could also, as suggested already, put in vegetables, flowers, shrubs, trees, or water features, but if sports appeal to you more, go for it!

What is easiest to do on a trampoline, front flips or back flips?

water jumping trampoline image

Morten S

I'm just interested, because i know i can do a front flip on a trampoline, and personally i thing a back flip looks a lot cooler. I can do back flips off a diving board, but i'm too scared to do it on a trampoline, so i was just wondering if anyone could tell me which is easiest?

Answer
back flips are easiest physically, front flips are easiest mentally.

every year when it gets warm enough to jump on the trampoline, i go to a train bridge nearby and make sure i can still do backflips before i try them. i get too scared to do em on a trampoline first (the train bridge is about as high as a four story building so you'd think id be more afraid of that, but there is water at the bottom so thats a negative)

How can I learn to do a back-flip without a trampoline?

Marie

I would to learn how to do a back-flip (and hopefully learn more, so I can do parkour) but my mom who is a nurse says they are too dangerous for me. I see where she is coming from since she is a nurse how probably sees accidents for kids paralyzing themselves everyday. I think I can handle it I am a 15 since to be 16 year old girl! Since a trampoline is out of the question how can I learn?

Answer
Ah!! Ok so that one guy above me has the motions correct. Jump up, grab your legs leaning backwards (tucking), and then land... BUT knowing that is nothing. What you need to do is get help. And NOT from a friend. I tried that and he dropped me on my damn neck. Luckily we were in a gym so I landed on a thick pad. Regardless, it hurt for a week.

Every city I've lived in has a gymnastic institute. They all have open gym days too. Pay 5-15$ average and you get a whole day in a giant gym with foam pits and stuff. I suggest you learn there. Also you will be able to ask gymnists for help too. They will know how to properly spot you as well.

Otherwise just go to a pool and try doing it over and over into the water.

Good luck man.

Camping with a 18 month old?

small inflatable trampoline image

A.J.'s Mom

We are going camping and I was just wondering what people think I should bring with an 18 month old. I have plenty diapers and wipes, milk, and snacks. But what other things should I bring. Oh and I have plenty cloths packed also. Just looking for advice. Thanks =)


Oh and please dont tell me that he is too young and all that. We took him with us when he was 8 months and he loved it, but at that time he wasnt walking and could stay in a play pin

Answer
Camping out is a wonderful way of spending family time. It is also a healthy change of scenery for the little ones. Our family has never thought that kids were too young to go camping, we have just had to have things with us that were appropriate to their ages and activity levels.

We live in Florida where there all sorts of things to do and see so we started our grandchildren in harnesses as soon as they were walking and got umbrella strollers for when they got tired. It ended up being great later on.

It made camping so simple. They had play pens before they walked and then we moved into the harness and stroller mode. Many camping areas have surfaces and paths that can accommodate the lightweight strollers.

But, until they got really heavy, the backpack seat was also useful. The main thing was to have enough things for them to do with their short attention spans. Physical things like walking, climbing and running is good because it wears them out--in a good way. A good nap time and more physical activity gets them tired enough for bedtime.

So, take toys with you that involve activity like collapsible mini basketball hoop and ball, a tyke's mini trampoline, bean bag toss game, arm swimmies in case you go in the water or an inflatable swim seat, small size life vest so that you can go fishing, canoeing or boating--a good hat so that you don't have to worry about a little face getting sunburned, building blocks or that sort of toy so that it's different every time they play with it, and some music that is familiar, or video that is soothing. Don't forget the favorite snuggley friend and blanky, either. If you are reading to your little one, bring favorite books, or buy some new ones as part of the trip experience.

Favorite or familiar things like their own bath towel from home or pillow, or even a special wash cloth and soap are also good to bring along. Keep things interesting so that they don't have to much down time, because they are so active at 18 months. It will be a fine balance between being tired and overtired but don't put your baby in a position to be overwhelmed and all will be well.

You will have so much fun seeing him reacting to his surroundings and having new experiences--and he will be so enriched. Go, have a good time--and then do it again next year!!

Sweet sixteen help?!!?

francisco

I want to have a sweet sixteen but not too expensive, and small not big, maybe 30-50 people. I want it outdoors but I need ideas and help! Please? My birthday is at the end of may

Answer
Here are some ideas for your party. That's a good number of people and you can pull off any number of these ideas.

Dance Party: This is by far the most popular party. Itâs the most popular for a reason, if you find the right entertainment it can be the most fun of all the different party types. Think about your school dances, many schools only have two per year of which you may only be allowed to attend one! But everywhere you look you see other people having dances on TV or in movies. Dances allow you to throw your own party just like an adult where you can have a blast with all of your closest friends. If you find a DJ who specializes in sweet sixteenâs with lights, games and contests you (or your parents) donât have to worry about anything except showing up, picking out the right music and having a blast with all of your friends! The right DJ should be able to keep the party going all night.

Rock Band, DDR or Guitar Hero Party: Why not take the games you play with your friends to the next level? Setup a screen, lighting, speakers and have a real rock championship to determine the best Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or DDR players. Setting up a tournament with brackets and themed prizes can make your sweet sixteen party a blast!

Outdoor Movie Party: Having your party outdoors can be awesome for you and your friends to take in the great summer weather and watch a movie together. You can rent all the equipment you need to have a massive outdoor screen in your backyard or by the pool so you can all watch a movie together or make a movie night out of it. Having games and party favors within the theme can help turn it into an awesome party. Big blow up screens can oftentimes cost less than $200 and can be used with standard projectors.

Pool Party: Pools are a great way for your friends to relax and hang out in the pool. Hiring a DJ to keep the music going and to incorporate the pool into the evening with contests and games can be a really great party during the summer. You can setup a giant inflatable movie screen next to the pool to show the movies on, or have a volleyball net or basketball hoop if you donât already have one for the pool.

Roller Skating/Ice Skating Party: Having an activity to focus on throughout the night is important if you donât like being the center of attention the whole night. It makes it easy for everyone to have a great time from your really outgoing guests, to friends who need a little help getting into the party. Having a really cool looking sweet sixteen cake can also help kick these parties up a notch. Having a roller or ice skating party can be a great theme option. Many rinks have a lot of creative ways to enhance your party. Having a local band or a DJ can also be a great way to kick up a party to the next level.

Lake Party: If you have a lake or campground near you, these parties can be the most memorable parties and weekends of your life.Most larger lakes have boats or pontoon boats that you can rent, or you can rent jet skis to have a blast with all your friends for your birthday party! Some lakes you can even combine pontoon boats with a dance party if the lake is big enough! You can also look into water trampolines, these can help turn your sweet sixteen party into the party of the year!

Scavenger Hunt: Having all of your friends show up ahead of time and surprising the birthday person with a party and then going out on a scavenger hunt can be an awesome party idea! It gives everyone something to do as well as adding competition into the night. Theme each stop after something that the birthday person likes or reminds you of them. You can do photo or video hunts or hunt for physical objects around town. Have the final location be a secret until you have found all the clues, then everyone can meet up at the final location to really celebrate your party with everyone together!

Best of luck!

who invented the trampoline ?

water trampolines in australia image

Q.

Answer
George Nissan

Here is the full info -

The manufactured trampoline, as we know it today, was created by two men, George Nissen and Larry Griswold, allegedly in George's garage. One day in 1935, with the help of the wrestling coach at the University of Iowa, Nissen and Griswold bolted together an iron frame. A piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, was then attached to the frame by using springs. This was the first trampoline. Nissen called it a Trampoline after hearing "El trampolin" (Spanish for diving board), on a performance tour in Mexico around this time, and registered the term as a trademark. In 1942, Griswold and Nissen decided to formalise their small operation of making trampolines. They created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and history was made....
Over to the UK.... In 1949, Ted Blake organised to purchase a second hand Nissen trampoline for Loxford School in Ilford, Essex, from an Aqua Show in Bournemouth. This became the favourite piece of equipment at the school, and they were invited to do a demonstration at the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1956 Ted Blake became Managing Director of a branch of the Nissen Trampoline Company which was set up in England to cope with the British and European markets.

And so on to Europe.... In 1957 Kurt Baechler of Switzerland, who was working in California at the time, flew to Cedar Rapids, signed for Nissen, and together with Frank LaDue worked out a basic introduction to trampolining. They then took the sport to schools in Germany and Switzerland, and set up the Swiss Headquarters of the Nissen Trampoline Corp. in Kurt's home town of Gumligen, Switzerland. In 1958, after a trampoline competition in Zurich, the first international Nissen Cup was held in the town of Wasen, during the month of August.

It was Bob Bollinger of Rockford, Illinois who revolutionized judging of trampolining, introducing a system that is still being used today (with only a few modifications) separating the difficulty from the evaluation of the execution. The very first Open Trampoline Competition in the UK was at a water carnival organised by the Ilford Diving Club in 1957. The winner on this occasion was an Ilford diver by the name of Mick Forge. It could be said that Mick was the first ever British trampoline champion. The first ever televised British Championships were in 1958, and the First (UK) National Trampoline Championships was held at Stanmore Park, Middlesex, UK in 1959. The first World Championships were held in London in 1964.

Soon after the first World Championships in 1964, the inaugural meeting of prominent trampolinists was held in Frankfurt to explore the formation of an International Trampoline Federation. In 1965 in Twickenham, the Federation was formally recognised as the International Governing Body for the sport. By 1969 the first European Championship was held in Paris and Paul Luxon of London was the winner at the age of 18. The ladies winner was Ute Czech from Germany. From that time onwards, European and World Championships have taken place in alternate years - the European in the odd and the World in the even. In 1990, Ron Froehlich (USA) takes over the Presidency. In 1998, the I.O.C. accepted the F.I.T. as a federation. The F.I.T. then underwent fundamental changes. Its structures were dissolved and as of January 1, 1999, Trampoline became a F.I.G. (F�d�ration Internationale de Gymnastique) discipline. Horst Kunze (GER) retained the Chair of the Technical Committee. And then in 2000 Trampoline became "Olympic" in Sydney, Australia.

Tumbling's competitive roots go back even further than that of Trampolining. It was even an Olympic Sport in 1932 when F. Wolfe, USA, was the winner. It was in 1976 that the FIT introduced Tumbling to its disciplines.

The third FIT discipline is Double-Mini Trampolining, which has only emerged as a branch of Trampolining since the mid 1970's. Double Mini-Trampoline competition was added in 1978. The first double mini-trampoline began as two individual mini-tramps, separated by a small table covered by a mat. Later, a one-piece unit was developed by Bob Bollinger and is used today as the official equipment for that event.

Australia
We've all heard how trampolining started in the USA, UK and Europe, but what about Australia....?
Trampolining in Australia started in the late 50s, with a few ex-gymnasts seeing trampolines and trampolining in magazines etc from the USA and UK. This resulted in a couple of trampolines being made here in Australia, one in NSW, and one in Victoria. These trampolines were about 20 feet long, made of 3 inch pipe and were fixed frame ones which were bolted together. Consequently, they had to be taken apart and re-assembled each time they were used. They had the traditional shock cord instead of springs, using just one length that was threaded round the whole trampoline. In the early days the beds were made of canvas, but in the late 50s this was changed to the now familiar woven string bed. A couple of web beds were imported from the US by Allan Ploughman who was the Nissen agent for Australia, but these were rather expensive.

The NSW Association was formed in 1960, with Fred Austine being one of the founding members. The first State Championships of any kind in Australia were held in NSW in 1961, where Fred competed at the tender age of 29. Victoria also held a competition later that year, but it was more of an interclub. Victoria held their first State Championships in 1962.

Does anyone know what this water toy is called?

water trampoline platform image

Anna

It's like a big balloon that floats on top of the water, and you jump from a raised platform onto it. There is also someone else on the toy, who in turn gets launched into the air and falls into the water. It looks like so much fun! But I can't figure out where to get it.

How can i go to Boracay West Cove?

chel r

I want to see for myself the beauty of West Cove. I heard a lot about it in the newspaper so I want to see it in person.

Answer
How to get there my friend:

By Plane
From Manilaâs domestic airport or from Cebu airport, take flights to Boracay either via Kalibo (45 minutes away) or via Caticlan (30-40 minutes away). From Kalibo airport, air-conditioned vans and buses for hire will take you to the Caticlan Jetty Port, where boats are stationed to take you to the island. Motorized tricyles will take you from Caticlan airport to the jetty port, 3 minutes away. From Caticlan jetty port, boat ride will take 15-20 minutes to get to Boracay.

When your in Boracay, take a tricycle ride going to Diniwid Beach to reach Boracay West Cove.

Airlines serving Kalibo and Caticlan include the following:

Manila to Caticlan:

â¢Asian Spirit
â¢South East Asian Airlines (SEAir)

Manila to Kalibo:

â¢Cebu Pacific
â¢Philippine Airlines

Cebu to Caticlan:

â¢Asian Spirit
â¢South East Asian Airlines (SEAir)

Cebu to Kalibo:

â¢Cebu Pacific

(Some of these air carriers may provide only seasonal service on the listed routes)

Around the island

On the island, the two main modes of transport are via motor-tricycles along the main road or by walking along the beaches. Pedicabs are also available for transport along the Beachfront Path. Other means of transportation include mountain bikes, quadbikes and motorbikes, all of which can be rented.

To explore around the island's coast, motorized bancas and sailing paraws are available for rent. These are outrigger canoes and are common sight in waters around the island. The sailing paraw is a narrow hulled boat with outriggers either side and with passengers sometimes seated on a trampoline platform between the outrigger supports. These are extremely fast off the wind, but can be unwieldy for inexperienced sailors.

What are some exercises you can do daily?

water trampolines parts image

Hii

I want to loose some body fat. What are exercises I can do everyday? Do I need to do warm-ups too? How often should I exercise If I want to loose 40 pounds and drop down a couple waist sizes? I drink green tea and lemmon-water everyday. I weigh 200 pounds now, 6'1. How long would it take overall and how long for a waist siZe or two? Thanks SO MUCH.

Answer
You could've told me whether you are a boy or girl but you could spice up your life by drinking ginger tea every night with lemon. also put cayenne pepper on your eggs to eat in the morning. I recommenced a brekfast of yogurt with oats in is and eggs, with bread and 2 fruits. stop eating white sugar and switch to brown sugar. Also stop eating at 6pm but the good thing is that you can eat all day long. Have a big breakfast and a small dinner. you gain weight when you eat at night because your metabolism slows down at night. Also use Epson salt as a laxative for 3 days. Dont eat any mcdonalds or chain food resturants and cook your own food.Now this is the diet part because your not going to lose weight by just excersise. Buy a rebounder( mini trampoline) and use it 10 min a day. do jumping jacks, running in place and squats for 5 min when you wake Up. also walk 1 hour.

What should I get my brothers girlfriend for Christmas?

Olivia

I know its a really long time from now, but I'm just getting ahead on the planning. My brother has been going out with his girlfriend for over two years now so she's pretty much part of the family.

Whats the best way to go about digging a hole for a trampoline?

water trampolines used image

God Jr.

I have an 8x12 rectangular trampoline (about 3 1/2 feet high) and I want the jumping surface to be flush with the ground. I live in the tampa bay area of florida about 4 miles from the water. I plan on this being permanent, and safe. I am concerned with drainage. I dont want it to become a mosquito trap. so my sub-questions are:

Will I need to use railroad ties and/or other type of reinforcements to prevent cave-ins? Like a log cabin built inside a hole? Hopefully a simpler, cheaper solution is possible.

Is any extra drainage system needed or will it just soak in to the ground?

What is the best way to dig this, with a shovel and a lot of time? I cant afford a backhoe, and even if I could, there is no way to get large equipment in there.
Thanks

Answer
Digging by hand...WOW...it's gonna take a while. You're talking 112 cubic yards of dirt hauling...not to mention where are you gonna put all of that!?!?
You would need to line the walls with either cinderblock or railroad ties and rebar to prevent cave-ins. So you're talking about digging 9x13x3-1/2 feet to make room for the blocks or wood to shore it up.
Maybe you can dig the hole about 1/2 the depth you need and use the dirt you take out to build a dirt ramp all the way around it. You could sow grass seed on it and it would just become part of the yard.
You might talk to a home improvement place or look online for similar ideas.
Maybe you could call some excavating businesses and ask if they do free quotes. Call two or three, get a free quote, and find out what exactly needs to be done. You could pose the question of drainage to them also.
Sorry I wasn't more help.

What is the best thing to use to remove melted styrofoam on nylon?

Angelwings

What is the best thing to use to remove melted styrofoam on black nylon? It is the nylon skirt of an urban rebounder (trampoline) - I don't know if it was stored too hot or what but when removed from box the styrofoam had stuck on parts, leaving white stuck-on streaks. Have tried a brush & soapy water, alcohol, scraping, & not making much progress... What is safe & effective on black nylon? Thanks so much!!

Answer
Sounds like you've tried it all. The only other thing I can suggest is icing it might cause it to shrink and then be able to be scraped off.

inflatable trampoline for kids image

murphy

I just saw an ad for an inflatable bouncy castle, however I'm not sure what it is.

Answer
An inflatable bouncy structure is a structure with a durable skin that is filled w/ air or helium or another type of gas. They are used often for little kids and birthday partys. they are meant to be jumped on cause they are so bouncy, theyre sorta like a trampoline. they can be shaped like castles or they can be more creative.

love the outdoors
not into frilly stuff and like dressing up
likes dancing
cooking
so what could i do
oh also she like to be advertisers

so what could i do

Answer
If she likes animals check with your local Zoo. Our Zoo offers b-day parties. Or you may do a party in your backyard or local park, just rent an inflatable castle (some have built-in slide). This will take care of kids entertainment. Add pizza, cake, and goody bags and you have your party. Check http://www.toddler-net.com/Birthday_page1.html for more ideas.
Kids gym may be another option: usually they provide entertainment (including trampolines) and you bring food, cake, and drinks.

Good luck!

What is the physics of using the trampoline?

water trampolines used image

ilovedemi:

I need help i cant find it anywhere. i know that using the trampoline has to be considered physics but i really dont know how it is so if someone could explain it to me and alos how do flips and gymnastics on it is physics? thanks!

Answer
You are asking a question like how does water affect the ocean.


There are novels I could fill giving you the answer. You really need to start from square one of learning physics. Learn what gravity does, learn what a spring is, learn how we quantify rotation, learn what mass is, learn what rotational inertia is...etcetera.

How can I drink 32 cups of water a day?

liz

I'm trying a new diet where you actually drink 32 cups of water the first day, and this is actually 4 times what I usually drink. How can I do this? Thanks!

Answer
Get a 64 oz. container, fill it with water and add a little apple juice for flavor.
Drink an 8 oz. glass every hour for 8 hours.

Hereâs a good low-carb food/exercise plan:

Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine.
Fruit smoothies.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers.

Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (itâs lard + chemicals), soda (loaded with toxins), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells) and coffee (carcinogenic). No oil except olive and mac nut.

To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice.

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.

For more energy, take Super B complex.

Is the enchantment of the seas a good ship?

water trampoline playground image

: D

im going on it in july soo this will be a family cruise and i have been on a cruise before!! it is a family cruise and the kids really like adventure ocean!! sooo my ? is is it a good family ship? is the pool nice? how is the decor? !!! thanks in advance!!!

Answer
My first cruise was on the Enchantment of the Seas and I thought it was a beautiful ship, and I had a blast. But, after going on the Oasis of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas in the past few months, nothing compares to that. If you can I would try to see if you could get on maybe one of those ships or higher.

The Enchantment of the Seas is a great ship though, it set sail in 1997, but received an addition and remolding in 2005. The ship has lots of stuff to do including bungee trampolines and rock climbing walls which are lots of fun, make sure you try those! They also have bridges that go out over the ocean which are very cool! They also have a casino, which provides endless hours of gambling fun, a very tasty coffee house, lots of themed bars and lounges, a fitness center, and a spa. Make sure you eat a Chops Grille. From what I remember there were two pools, one not covered on the top deck, that was for everyone to swim in, and a solarium for adults only (I think, but I'm not entirely positive, sorry). The pools were nice, but were not very large. Make sure your kids check out the Adventure Ocean kids program and the Splash Deck, which is a water playground for kids. The decor is very nice and beautiful. You will have a blast on any cruise, they are all fantastic, and royal caribbean is a great cruise line.

*Make sure to go to royalcaribbean.com and look at the pictures and virtual tours of the ship's highlights and staterooms.
Hope this helps you!! :)

HAWAII :: Kihei, Maui - - whats to do here? Renting a condo for August?

water trampoline hawaii image

Heyya

I am traveling here for vacation in mid august, was wondering if anyone can give some feedback as to whats there to do there, beaches to visit, is it a nice city? Thanks!

Answer
Hi, We just stayed in Kihei the middle of June, Kihei is right along the beach, you can see Lanai from the beach. Everything you need is probably within walking distance, and alot of people ride bikes. However to see the sights you will want to drive to Lahaina, it used to be the Capital city of the islands until it moved to Honolulu, it has quite a bit to do, we went on the Sugar Cane train, we have kids. Right in Wailuku there is a fun park with bumper boat, mini golf a rock climbing area, and the trampoline with the bungee cords. Kahului is the largest city on Maui, it has a mall, and lots of shopping, Walmart etc. It is also where the main airport is. The road to Hana has great waterfalls, and you can see some of the more rural areas. Haleakala is a spectacular sight at sunset or sunrise. You have to plan and leave well ahead of time as it takes hours to drive up or down. There is para sailing, and water activities everywhere. There are submarine type rides, Sunset dinner cruises, drinking cruises, I could go on all day, you should really have a good time, and I think Kihei was a great choice!
Aloha

Fun activities for Summer Party Only teens answer!?

Ruby

I am having a big pool party and a lot of people are coming for 4 hours so I want some ideas on how to keep people entertained. No indoor activities please!
13 and 14 year olds! What would you want to do? Or is a pool, trampoline and zip line enough for entertainment? Pleaseeee answer 10 POINTS

Answer
I love you Idea of a trampoline and zip line! You can get tons of pool things like pool chairs, lounges, noodles, balls. etc.
For the guys they can watch also the World Cup Soccer!

I found some cool ideas on this site:

http://www.celebrations.com/summerparties

http://shindigzparty.wordpress.com/category/luau-party/

You need to have a theme!! Tropical Luau or Hawaii maybe? If its all girls then do a girly theme, like tropical islands, shopping, make up, just make sure theres something for every type of person there to do!
Do you have a local Dean & Deluca cafe? Have them cater with lunch and cookies! Idea's are having tons of funny looking rubber ducks in the pool, mini parasols in drinks, and maybe some lights under-water. or one of those floating fountains, but those might be expensive and hard to set up.
For invitations you can buy little plastic "message-in-a-bottle" type bottles, pour some sand in, write your invitations make it into a scroll and your good to go! Or you can save money and send an e-vite.
If I were at the party I would want there to be like little contest(s), swimming, food, games, trampoline, zipline, T.V. and music!
Make sure your music is appropriate, you don't want to get in trouble! For dessert you can buy a cookie cake. Before you serve the guests food, know their allergies!!! Have some extra towels and googles. Just make sure you get them all before they leave! Try some beach-themed supplies
like http://www.target.com/Bahama-Breeze-Party-Plus-Guests/dp/B0013KT930/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&qid=1277161855&frombrowse=0&fromGsearch=true&node=1038576%7C1287991011&keywords=beach%20plates&searchSize=30&id=Bahama%20Breeze%20Party%20Plus%20Guests&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel%2Csubjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&searchRank=target104545&sr=1-18&searchPage=1&rh=

http://www.target.com/IP304-Island-Luau-Party-Pack/dp/B00319BD12/ref=sc_qi_detaillink

For cute little contests you can attach strings through small powdered doughnuts (about 4 or 5)and tie them to a long stick (not the kind in a forest!) Have people do a limbo and try to catch and eat the doughnuts! It's lots of laughs! Snow cones make good pool snacks. You can even pick up some things at Party-City. A cooler for water and soda's would be nice too.
A beach ball. What could be more classic?
Some nice cabana towels http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=113055

Play some soda-pong. My safe version of beer pong, please, do not use beer, of course. Use soda's, here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oIZ9bZoi3c Oh! And when you have drinks next to the pool do NOT have glass near the pool!!!! It will be super-hard to clean and some one will bleed, a lot! Please, use clear plastic cups!
How about a nice disposable water-proof camera? Get them at drug stores or places like Target or Amazon. I found some adorable zebra print balloons, even tho it doesnt match the theme, prints like this look good next to pools. http://www.target.com/11ZE-Zebra-Print-Balloons/dp/B001E4V5IW/ref=sc_qi_detaillink
And I found the perfect set pool supplies! Its great! http://www.target.com/Pool-Party-Pack/dp/B0001HKC5U/sr=1-13/qid=1249928237/ref=sr_1_13/188-8243016-2770036?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&pricerange=&index=target&field-browse=1038576&rh=k:pool&page=2

If you want to get wild try spin the bottle :3 and then you guys and dance to music!! Try hooking up some big speakers to computer. You can have people make suggestions for what they want to hear, just type it in on youtube.

Upgrade and refresh your poolside area. http://www.bhg.com/home-improvement/outdoor/pools-spas/pools-spas-pavilions/
Have extra sunscreen, too.

Here are some nice outdoor entertaining tips: http://www.bhg.com/recipes/food-slide-shows/entertaining/outdoor-entertaining/?page=1

Lighting: Hang lanterns and garlands around. For fresh ideas go to your local Target, Walmart, or Party City to pick up a few things you know you and your friends would enjoy.

Hope I helped! contact me if you need more ideas/advice. sk_penguin565@yahoo.com

Does anyone know what this water toy is called?

water trampolines rave image

Anna

It's like a big balloon that floats on top of the water, and you jump from a raised platform onto it. There is also someone else on the toy, who in turn gets launched into the air and falls into the water. It looks like so much fun! But I can't figure out where to get it.

does anyone know where to get a cheap good quality water trampoline?

water trampolines at costco image

Alyssa C

Answer
Feel free to check out the link above (or your nearest costco) but let me first say, after having a trampoline at the public pool I worked at- it spent most of the summer out of the pool.

First of all, its in water, and therefore even the best ones don't "bounce" like a trampoline, so they are really just large expensive platforms.

Secondly, they are great for "king of the hill" games, but not much else, since the push from diving off of them sends them across the pool behind you.

Knowing these limitations (and you may already have experienced one) then I'd say go for it if you really want one, they can be a lot of fun.

The first link is for a high-quality (but expensive) trampoline,
The second if for cheap deals, and low to medium quality.

Best of Luck!

Am thinking of buying a rebounder/trampoline from Costco for exercise. I am 64 w/ one hip replacement?

Zelda

My doc told me I can't run or play tennis. I should walk and can ski. Your experience/impression? Looks like fun! Thanks!

Answer
As an owner of two hip replacements, my gut feeling on this is negative. I wouldn't do it myself. High impact activities can shorten the life of your implant. This strikes me as a high impact activity. I'm sure it's fun but your hip might not think so - certainly not on a regular basis.
Suggestions for activities that would be good for you & gentler on your hip: bicycling (stationary or not), elliptical trainer (no impact there but slowly build up to higher resistance and you can get a very good workout), rowing, walking, xcountry skiing, anything in water.
