Beach Parks in Miami FL?

Penelope1

Hi. I am looking to throw my daughters 3rd birthday at the beach. I am looking for a park that has a playground and that also allows bounce houses. It's going to be a beach theme party. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer
It doesn't have playground but Matheson Hammock Park has a really nice beach catering to kids and families. Awesome views of Miami skyline. Some picnic tables.
http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GCNV_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=matheson+hammock+beach&fb=1&gl=us&hq=matheson+hammock+beach&hnear=Miami,+FL&cid=7860689778378349348&dtab=2&pcsi=7860689778378349348,1&ei=AMefS5-mOoKclgfoiP33DQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CA0QqgUwAA

The actual park area also has large gazeebos where you can have barbeques (they have a pit) and set up a bounce house I think.

Need Help on Table / Seating Assignments?

Say What?

I'm down to the last details of my wedding planning, and I'm stumped on the seating assignments / arrangements. I'm having a beach themed wedding and I purchased mini picture frames that will serve as seating assignment and favors. http://www.theweddingoutlet.com/Wedding-Themes/Beach-Wedding/Shell-Placecard-Holder

I was going to purchase paper table number sets and arrange seating by table number. However, my fiance wants to incorporate hockey into the theme because he plays ice hockey and is a die hard fan. He wants to use players names for the tables instead of numbers. How would I do this? Do they have web sites where you can have them print whatever you want instead of just pre-printed numbers?

Also, how do you let everyone know what table number they are assigned to? I was thinking of having a chart on the same table as the guest book with each person's name alphabetized and table number. Is that tacky, or should I assign someone to guide the guests to their seats? How did you handle your seating arrangements / assignments if you had or are having any?

Also, we are having a beach ceremony and there is limited seating. I want to assign seats to family, children and the elderly. It will likely be somewhat windy. How should I assign seating? I need something that will not blow away and will not ruin the chairs. Any ideas?

Answer
You can create a table seating chart with some hockey sticks on the corners or something to add to the theme. Or find little hockey puck name card holders.
The easiest way is to print namecards with the table number ON them. Dont go to to much expense.
You set the name cards up on a table in the entry of the room so people can see where they are sitting, then on the tabel you put table numbers, see if you can find online hocket stick table number holders. Or you can buy a bunch of pucks and put table numbers on them or something

What to do for table numbers?

Naughty

Does the venue usually provide table numbers, or do I have to make them myself? Am I supposed to come up with some sort of holders for them, or buy picture frames to put them in? Any ideas?
Thank you!

Answer
Call your venue and ask the events/wedding coordinator.

Our venue provided table number holders, but I made our own table numbers using a Brides kit that matched our invitations and name cards.

You could use picture frames, picture holders (the wire type stands), or google your wedding's theme (if you have one) and see if you can find something to match. IE, our theme was beach and I found starfish and beach chairs....but ultimately decided on just the simple ones to save money.

I definitely recommend trying to find them on eBay over buying them in the store! Good luck!!

What do you need to have a beach birthday party? Its a 17th birthday for two girls and 50 plus people in May.?

wo

not like a bonfire but with like a tent and torches etc.

Answer
Ahhh! Our junior prom, we did the whole tropical theme and it was a blast! Some suggestions I would recommend...

Party stores carry the cheap, brightly-colored, plastic table cloths. You can also buy faux fish nets from the stores as well. Finish it off with some nice flower arrangements with great tropical plants like hibiscus, or some cool shells or something.

It may be a lil out there, but we actually took an old satellite dish, and some spare wood and made a tiki hut out of it by covering the dish in palm fronds and wrapped bamboo around the base of the hut. Made great pictures!

Dry ice around a punch bowl will help create a misting effect which is kinda fun...

Leis... can't forget the leis... those flower necklaces scream a beach party.

Tiki torches are great...

Games may not be something your 17 year old would be interested in, but you could always throw limbo in there for a quick fun game.

Definitely check out the party stores, they have a huge selection of tropical/beach themed party decorations.

Teens: Have You Ever Seen Anyone Having Sex In Public?

The KiD =R

I work part time at Pizza Hut in Glasgow where i live and some family(A Couple and 2 kids) called me over to complain I thought they were going to say something about the food but then they pointed to a table over the other side of the room and I walked to the table and I viewed the most disturbing thing......

...The Man was sitting on the chair with his shorts and boxers round his ankles and the Woman just had a skirt on and was on top of him shagging him quite loudly I was like wtf and I then asked them to please leave the restraunt and the guy said we will just finish of first so then i just went and got my manager and she threatend to phone the police if they didn't leave.

The couple were in there 50's or something they were unbelievebly fat and ugly and i just didn't understand why they would want to do this. I will forever have the disgusting image of them shagging in my mind for the rest of my life and i am traumatized lol

So have any of you teens ever seen anybody having sex in public.

Answer
In the middle of Pizza Hut? Jeezo haha I'll be staying away from Pizza Huts in Glasgow for a while then, magine sitting at that table gads haha.

I havent seen anyone having sex in public. I have heard it though, it was at Ayr beach in one of the wee isolated grassy areas. We were a bit along and heard it, ya know, the noises lol, was quite cringey, especially since I was about 12 and very immature lol

How can i circuit train on my at home weight bench?

sweet_xoxo

this is what it looks like http://olimpa.ru/images/373s.jpg
i am also a female who wants to lose weight and not gain lots of muscle

or if not circuit training nay kind on advice about how many sets and reps

Answer
Thats a nice bench.

If you are trying to lose weight, I would start off each workout with plenty of cardio. Go for a fast walk or jog, or preferably - ride a bicycle (much less impact on your joints - especially if you are carrying around a lot of extra weight).

Get your heartrate up for 30-45 minutes minimum.

Then get on your bench, and stick to less weight, and more reps - I tend to do a total body workout all at once, but some people prefer to focus on arms one day, legs the next, and kind of alternate to let their muscles have time to heal.

By doing more reps with less weight, you will tone your muscles rather than building bulk.

I'm a 6'3" 220# guy, and my normal workout routine goes something like this (in a gym - but you can probably figure out how to do most of this at home - especially with that bench).

1) 30 minutes on ellipsoidal machine (the one that works your arms and legs at the same time). I usually pick a hill course that increases resistance consistently through the workout. I go as fast as I can, and my heart rate gets up there pretty quick.

2) Free weights - I injured my right shoulder a while back, and it still gives me trouble, so I ignore the pain and lift 15-20# straight sideways - about 3 sets of 10 reps., then I act like I'm punching with the weights. Sometimes I lift them straight up (like a shoulder press - but with individual hand weights).

3) Bench - I put about 50# on the bar and do a few sets of bench presses.

4) Cable driven machines - I put 30# on the fly machine and do 3 sets of 30 reps, and then switch to pressing straight out, and then alternating arms - like punching. The next machine is kind of a row that I usually put about 70# on, and do sets of 30 reps with one arm at a time, and then again reaching across with each arm.

5) Abs - they've got a great crunch table that allows you to put weight on it, I put 30# and do crunches until I'm ready to hallucinate or pass out. I've been alternating that and the inverted sit-up bench. Both cause some great burning! Then I usually do the rotating machine to hit the love handles. Then to top it all off, I get on this deal they have that has a rubber ball that you put your back against and you hold some handles while lifting your legs straight out in front of you.

6) Legs - I start on a machine that lets you do one leg at a time lunging - with about 150# on it (my legs are a lot stronger than my arms). I do about 30 reps per side, then I go to the machine that lets you spread your legs (150# 30 reps), then to the one that lets you close your legs (same weight and reps).

7) I do the normal crunch machine next to hit my abs again, then the back machine. Then I go to the arm machines that let you pull (30 reps, 80-90#) I do two sets - one with the handles where your hands are palm down, and one with the handles sideways. Then to the shoulder machine where you grab handles, and the pads are on your forearms and you lift straight up (hits the same muscles as the first thing I do on the free weights - but for some reason my shoulder doesn't hurt as much - its probably numb by this point).

8) Back to legs again. I do the squat machine (actually lets you push yourself up an incline - with about 150# for 30 reps, then I reduce it to 110# for 30 more, and finally 70# for 30 more (by the time you are done 70# feels like 200). Then to the leg curl 30 reps at 70-80#, and the leg lift (knee) same weight and reps.

9) Finally, I go to what I call the 'combine harvester' due to its ability to make you feel like you've been run over by a combine harvester. It is another ab machine - but you hook your feet under and pull down with your arms, and up with your legs. It is brutal. I only put 30# on it, but after 3 sets of 30 reps, you are ready to pass out.

I do this whole circuit at least 3-4 times a week. And then if I have time I go sit in the sauna for a bit, and then swim a few laps. The whole routine takes about 30-45 minutes (plus the cardio). It was hard to stick to at first, but now I feel like crap if I don't go do it. It's easy to plateau - so I try to vary up some of the exercies, or the order I do them in. There are a lot of exercises for each muscle in your body, and once you start building your muscles up, you will burn fat much faster.

when is a good time to go camping?

sunny

we are going camping thsi weekend and my friend said this is a bad time bc the bears are collecting for winter? when is a good time to go camping?? is there one?

Answer
Anytime can be a good time to go camping... it's mostly a matter of personal preference. Probably the most significant issue to be concerned about is the weather. Stormy weather, be it rain or snow, can certainly have a negative impact on your camping experience by limiting your activities, but more importantly it can also be dangerous. While rain can make it fairly difficult to enjoy a camp fire... or even have a camp fire... it can also cause flooding and/or flash flooding which tends to be rather dangerous if you're in the right location at the wrong time. It can wash out roads making them impassable.... flood roads where you could get stuck.... rivers & streams can rise and prevent you from crossing them, sometimes for several days, or longer. The primary concern with snow is how much snow actually falls as well as how much if any is already on the ground. Just a couple inches of snow can obscure all sorts of hazards as well as make roads disappear... and depending on what kind of vehicle you're driving, as little as 6 to 8 inches of snow can make driving very difficult and getting stuck very easy. A couple feet of snow could result in an extended camping trip. Of course it depends on what part of the country you're camping in, what time of the year it is and the elevation you're at... as well as your specific location. Most developed campgrounds in National Parks & many of those in National Forrests as well as most private campgrounds have paved roads with good access. But if you're going all out & camping out in the boonies by yourself.... weather can be a significant issue. Also what you're camping in makes a difference too. if you're camping in a tent or just a sleeping bag... rain & snow kinda sucks... while a pickup camper, travel trailer or motor home offer more of the conveniences of home. Other than precipitation, the temperature can affect your overall experience as well. Best thing to do is check the forecast before you leave home and be prepared. If you're camping trip will be longer than 2 or 3 days it would be wise to ensure you have some method of receiving updated weather information where you're camping at. Regarding the issue of bears, that really depends on where you're going camping as bears are quite numerous in some areas & quite rare in others... and some have no bears at all. However, it only takes one bear to be a problem so the thing to keep in mind when camping is to put all your food away and secure it. Food inside an ice chest, box or plastic container sitting on the ground or table is not put away and secured... put it in your vehicle with the windows rolled up. If you're camping in a tent... don't take any food inside the tent with you at night.... not even a little snack. If you've been standing over a grill cooking meat of any kind with the smoke & grease billowing up & around you, the aroma will likely linger on you... and more importantly... on your clothes for up to several hours. So going to bed, or your sleeping bag, inside a tent at night smelling like a nice juicy steak isn't very wise either. When you go camping, wherever that may be... you're not in the city anymore and there are all kinds of critters out there.... any of which you could encounter at anytime. Remember, it's their home... they're wild animals... they have a right to be there.... and it's all about survival. Just because you're camping in a developed campground with a lot of other campers in close proximity is not a guarantee you won't encounter a wild animal. While bear attacks on humans are quite rare... even in bear country... they do occur.... and people have been injured, from slightly to severely... and even killed too. However, most of those attacks could have been prevented simply by taking proper precautions. There are other critters in the wild to be concerned about while camping too. A mountain lion is just as dangerous, if not more so than a bear.... and lion attacks on people have & do occur as well... and some of have been fatal. While bears & lions are about the only two significant threats, there are many other critters to be concerned about for various reasons such as skunks, racoons, spiders, snakes, bees, rodents, bats, moose, elk & deer. The skunk issue is rather well known, coons can terrorize your campsite searching for food & are quite clever & quite capable too... spiders & snakes can deliver a poisonous bite, bees can swarm n sting (we've got killer bees here in the SW from Texas to California)... rodents & bats can carry many diseases including bubonic plague & rabies... & moose elk & deer have antlers. Don't think the latter is too cute or afraid to hurt you. This time of year bull elk are in the rut... their hormones are ragin... they're horny n huge with big horns & lookin for a fight. If you take your pet(s) camping with you... then you also have to consider their safety as well as how they affect yours in that they may attract the attention of something lookin for a meal. Most pets, especially cats & small to mid sized dogs can be considered prey for a variety of predators. A bear or a mountain lion can easily take out nearly any domestic dog, including sheperds, dobermans, pitbulls & rottweilers Even the largest breeds one on one are no match for a grizzly bear & likely to be lunch for a lion. Other ground based threats to pets include bobcats, coyotes, badgers & wolverines.... and airborne threats include eagles, hawks & owls. Eagles are large & very powerful birds... they can easily swoop down without warning & without beeing seen.... snatch up a cat or small dog while remaining airborne..... and be well on it's way with your pet before you even realize it... in broad daylight.... with a lot of people around or even in town...... and even if your pet is on a leash. A large owl can do the same thing and can do so in total darkness as well. While all these and more are possibilities that do occur..... the fact is they occur very rarely. Being prepared and taking proper precautions for the area you're camping in... as well as applying common sense is the best way to ensure a safe, happy & rewarding experience camping in the great outdoors.

One more thing... very important.... don't wear perfume or cologne or use scented lotions, soaps & shampoos when camping... or even out in the wild for the day... as doing so is the best way to attract the attention of a wide variety of unwanted critters with undesirable results. Just leave them & the cosmetics at home..... and enjoy nature.... naturally.

Remember... undesireable encounters with wild animals of any kind are almost always a situation of it doing what comes naturally and the fault of stupid humans. Far too often the result is an innocent wild animal being killed.

cape town clifton and camps bay beaches?

aminf31 a

i have planned 4 nigfhts in cape town: one day table mountain, kirstenbosh garden, V & A waterfront shopping. 2nd day: cape point and peninsula tour and penguins at boulders...and 3 rd day relax on the beaches of camps bay and clifotn mainly and visit bloughberg beach.

Is one day neough to do these beaches and relax on camps and clifton? mind you..i am going to a carribean destination after that....

Also, i find car rentals very expensive..55$/day...any other suggestions of car rental places (automatic gear)
what i really need to know is if 1 full day is enough to relax on camps bay, clifton and blougberg beaches? should i spend like few hours on each and then the rest of the day on clifton beach, or do i need 2 days?
ok guys i have added one more day for the different beaches. I would like to know which beach would be ok to stroll on clifton (4 th?) because that website says it is not that appropriate..

and how do iget to camps bay and clifton if parking is a problem? the shuttles and taxis are reliable and feasable>? I dont wanna be stressed and climb stairs. What is the best way to visit the beaches from our hotels?

I would probably add Llandudno beach by car later...my plan is to stay 3 nights somwhere near the table moutain and V &A, 1 night on bloughberg beach and 1 night near camps bay..what you think? (i have total 5 nights now)

Answer
Like Trent says, Camps Bay and Clifton are not for relaxing. If you like climbing stairs, then do all 4 Clifton Beaches. There are some lovely and interesting houses built on the slopes. The Camps Bay Beach is viewable from the road while driving. If you really want to sun bathe, then there are other more peaceful beaches.
http://www.clifton.co.za/

But, by all means, take a stroll along Camps Bay Beach and one of the Clifton Beaches, but parking is a problem. It might be best to take the mini-bus shuttle from Victoria Road. If there is enough sand and the tide is low, it is possible to walk from Clifton First Beach right through to Fourth Beach or vice versa.

Blouwberg has some lovely views of Table Mountain, but the water is cold. Check the weather before you go, as it can be very windy.

A tip: Plan an alternate day for Table Mountain. Sometimes the weather is disappointingly bad (low cloud or even rain) and then one will be happy for a "second chance".

Hope you have a marvellous stay.

*Edit*
Camps Bay and Clifton could be done together in one afternoon. They are quite close to each other. And neither all 4 Clifton Beaches nor Camps Bay Beach are very long. If you started at say 14.00 (much too hot for the sun, though. Take sunscreen and protective clothing)) at Clifton, walked along for an hour (if the tide is low), sunbathed for another hour, then you would still have time for a 10 - 20 minute drive to Camps Bay, depending on the traffic, and spend some time there.

This way, you can plan half a day for Clifton and Camps Bay Beaches, and the other half a day at Blouberg.

I am going to Hawaii, what is something I HAVE to see or visit while I am there?

jules vern

I will be on Kona side of the Big Island for a week. I know about the volcano and the waterfalls and the beaches, but I'm talking about things I won't find in a guide book. Like unique places to eat, visit, or hangout at.

Answer
pearl harbor and the dole factory are on oahu, not the big island.

Sorry for disorganization:

If you want a little nightlife or touristy setting check out kailua town on Alii drive. Its where the chains are: Hard rock, Outback, etc. I personally like LuLus, a bar/grill on the coast...a lot of famous people have been there. Bubba Gumps is good too...some of the places have second story patios overlooking the ocean.

If you make it to the Hilo side, get some local grinds (food)...do yourself a favor and be open minded! Try a loco moco - eggs, gravy, choice of meat, rice, mac salad...i love em! Mahi Mahi, Kahlua pork...Musubi is a good snack item. I really like Cafe 100 and blaine's drive inn...great local places. Hilo bayfront has some cool shops some fine dining places and a great icecream/shaved ice shop - mom n pops owned. Try the halo-halo - my personal favorite...theres also the farmers market on wednesday and saturday - great shopping/bargaining...food, souveniers, clothing, anything you can imagine. Check it out.
Try to avoid the hilo hotels as they are all pretty dirty/ghetto....

Rainbow falls in Hilo is beautiful, akaka falls is nice too (420 feet high.)

Black sands beach is cool and unique (theres a lot of black sand beaches but im talking about "black sands" beach.

Back on kona side Kua bay is my favorite beach - beautiful white sand, great blue water with waves, and also it has showers and PAVED road - a rarity for many beaches.

Place of refuge is cool, its sort of boring but still very neat to see the statues/tikis. Near there, there is a place to kayak(I forget what its called) but you can rent a kayak from a local for a cheap rprice (if you can bargain, try the drunk guy on the picnic table with the dog) and kayak out to captain cooks monument. In the early mornings dolphins like to go there.

I really enjoy the elevated drive above the kona coast - im not sure how exactly we got there, but its on the way to kailua town from place of refuge - i have never seen a more beautiful view.

If you are wondering how to get around the island, car rentals are fairly cheap...gas isnt but compared to the rest of the US rentals are very fair. Theres also the Hele-on bus that circles the island - you have to check for times...i think its on the web...search for hele on bus schedule big island.
The bus is totally free (or was a few months ago) but takes about four hours. Theres a lot of nice scenery though!

Wai'pio valley is really nice too...theres companys that will take you down the ridiculously steep road to get down there (you NEED 4x4.)

Be careful though...there are people on the island with a little hostility toward tourists...namely white people (haoles)...if you get called "f****** haole" it isnt a friendly gesture...just ignore them and get away. It isnt your fault but your ancestors took their land and some of them are still pissed. Haole can be used in a more friendly term too so dont immediately get offended if you hear this.

There are MANY MANY MANY friendly locals. Be respectful at all times...do not act like you are better than anyone...it is very offensive...remember that you are a guest on their islands...Keep an open mind and if you get called out just get away...dont be surprised if you are offered pot either as its almost a cultural thing!

If you have any q's msg me!

Some local pidgin that might throw you off:
grind: eat
ono: good
choke:a lot/many
wahine: women
kane: men
brah:bro
howzit: hows it going?
no can: I cant
no can no can: I really cant

were are the best pubs in cape town and names?

runrabbit

Answer
My favourite was the Green Dolphin down at the Waterfront, not so much a pub as a bar at the front of a restaurant. However, fantastic place - buzzing and with great live jazz music! Even better - book a table and eat there!

If you get to Hout Bay there is a fantastic bar on the main road overlooking the sea - used to be called Dunes but not sure now.

If you get to Langebaan (not sure if spelt right), which is North of Cape Town on the coastal road, there are some great beach side bars which also sell great food - perfect on a warm day when you want to get out of the sun and enjoy a good view!

Oh - and in Cape Town go to the "Obs" district (Bohemian area and good fun) there are a number of good bars on the main street - sorry was having too good a time to remember the names! Seem to think it was Obs Bar.

Finally if you get to Simonstown (or round that way, somewhere on route to Borders if heading towards Cape Point) is a great place called Cape to Cuba - AMAZING COCKTAILS!

Also, again not so much bar (more a great day out with amazing entertainment and the best cocktails) is Spier! Make sure to visit the cheetahs!

I could go on but most places are really restaurants with bars in as opposed to pubs - or so we found!

Have fun!!!!!

Can I use a coffee table as a flat bench for my dumbbell exercises?

Russell

Planning on buying a flat bench, but can't right now. My coffee table is flat and I can get my feet on the ground. Could I use it to do my dumbbell flys, presses, incline flies, etc.? Is there anything wrong with doing this?

Answer
it's all about the free rotation of your shoulders. my coffee table is too wide, I couldn't ever get my arms back low enough for proper form doing fly's.

When I was a little boy I like to go outside and play in the yard. As a boy I had toy trucks and cars I kept in my book bag. All my friends and cousins would come to my house to play video games. As a boy I liked to climb the tree in my backyard. As a boy, I never liked to eat my vegetables. I was a child that had a lot of hair. I was very social and liked to talk to other children and adults. My friends were a mix of boys and girls and they were all a lot of fun. I could sleep in as late as i wanted when i was really little. My mom would make me sit at the table until I ate them. That really did not work because I would just sit there. Our neighborhood had a lot of kids, and we spent all summer playing.
We considered an entire two or three blocks to be our private playground, playing hide-and-seek or war. When I went to school I played basketball will all the bigger kids. I used to play soccer for my school. I was very misbehaved as a little boy. I was always in timeout and detention. At recess everyone would play softball so I would try to play but the older kids would always take my turn. Then they saw I was really good so they let me play.
In the summer I would go to camp with my brothers for the whole summer. At camp I played capture the flag and had water balloon fights. At camp we did a lot of fun activities and games. When we got back home everyone would want to know how it went. As a boy, me and my friends would ride ours bikes around the neighborhood and have races. I would always win and we all got left with scares. We had a dog when I was younger as well. The dog was very rough and playful. The first time I saw him, he knock me over. Summer was always a wonderful time. The swimming pool always opened the Monday after school was out, and Malcom and I were always allowed to use the one dollar refund of our school book deposit fee to buy a summer's season ticket at the swimming pool. The pool was across town, just past the football field, not far from the city park
In the winters I remember always playing in the snow. We had snow ball fight and made snowmen. When I was younger there was a big blizzard and the snow was over my head. One day school got canceled and my mom made my favorite. Then me and my brothers went out to play in the snow. I put on my favorite boots.
As a boy I went to Disney World with my school. We went to all the amusement parks and ate at a lot of restaurants. The rides were all fun and the food was delicious. Me and my friend got lost for a couple hours and everyone was looking for us.Then my parents came and took me and my brothers to Universal Studios. All the rides there were fun too like the roller coaster.
When I got a little older I started to play football. I was in little league and I had never played before. I was fast so the coaches put me some where on the field. Then started to really like football.

What is daily life like in New Zealand?

Sophia Mar

I am really interested in the idea of moving to New Zealand.I am wondering what daily life is like there?I am from Staten Island(New York City)so I am used to always having something to do.Will this be different in New Zealand?Will it be a big culture shock for me?Also,are American brands/items sold in New Zealand?

Answer
I immigrated to Auckland from the States so I have experience with the change in culture. I grew up in Boston and then lived a couple years in DC so I can compare city life in the US to city-life here. I never experienced any culture-shock and I don't know of any Americans who did. It seems to be tougher for the British immigrants I know to adjust.

Moving from most parts of NYC to NZ would be a major change, but Staten Island is not that different in density and population from Auckland. Auckland has 1.4 million people spread out over a large area. It has all the stuff you'd find in the US to do. There are malls everywhere, movie theatres, clubs and pubs, nice cafes and restaurants etc. On the surface it will seem just like the US. But here are the biggest changes you'll probably begin to notice within a a few weeks of living here:

Malls and other shops close very early, like 5 or 6PM, even on a Saturday. There are no family chain restaurants like Uno's, Bertucci's etc. that you find all over in the US. Restaurants are very expensive, in fact food in general is much more expensive than in the US and the portions will be half the size. People don't dress up unless it is a special occassion. It is perfectly acceptable to be barefoot in public places. If you arrive in winter you might think the kids you see barefoot at the supermarket or mall on a cold rainy day are poor; they aren't. They all have shoes, they just don't wear them. Kids are allowed to go barefoot to elementary school and adults regularly walk around shoeless as well and this is not seen as redneck or strange at all. At most cafes and less fancy restaurants you are expected to order and pay up front first. Service is very slow by US standards but no one rushes you to move on and free up the table. You do not tip anyone in NZ, not waiters, not taxis.

As far as things to do goes, that won't be an issue. Kiwis do go to bed early and shut the shops early but there are plenty of evening activities. I go to pub quizzes a couple nights a week. Drinking during the work-week is much more acceptable here. Most work-places have friday night drinks often right in the office. I'm a teacher and still can't believe our staffroom here has a fridge dedicated to booze for friday afternoons.

Everyone in NZ gets 4-weeks paid holiday by law, so there is much more holiday culture. There are lots of beach-side camp-grounds with rows of little cabins where families go for a week or two every summer. Most of the city shuts down from late December to start of Feb while everyone takes a vacation. It's all part of the more laid-back way of life.

If you move to a rural NZ town there would be some serious culture shock I'm sure, but no different to the shock you'd have moving to a small town in upstate NY. Wellington supposedly has more culture than other cities in NZ but the weather there is awful. Honestly it makes Seattle look good. It does have a real San Fran vibe to it but it is much smaller than what your used to.

I need tips for camping!!!?

Rhonda

I am going with my boyfriend and one of his guy friends to this orientation with our university and they do not provide housing for overnight, so we have decided to camp out on the beach (cause the university is right on the beach) I found a state park nearby that I know is really nice, but what do i need to go before camping? What kind of meals are easy to keep? We are wanting to barbeque, so are there any rules saying we cannot? I have my tent but I have only put it up once in my backyard. I have almost no idea what I am doing, and I need ideas!!! Thank you!
It is ok to camp at this location on the beach. I called the state park and they verrified it. Its called mustang island

Answer
Bring a square plastic tub like some people put in their sink. Has many uses, including washing dishes, sponge baths in the tent, a place to keep misc items, bedside table, a container for gathering things in the 'wild'. Or a 3 gallon plastic bucket.

Phone the university and find out if you are allowed to camp on their property. That way you don't have to deal with campground rules, or it may already be booked up.

It would be a good idea to string a tarp over the tent area, to provide shade and rain cover over your work area outside the tent(s). Bring a towel or something to provide a door mat outside the tent door to keep dirt/sand out. Some tool to pound in tent stakes with. If you are to have a fire, bring some sort of grill to put over it, on rocks or whatever. Bring firewood. Water containers. Fuel for your campstove. Something to light fires with. Flashlights. Pad for under sleeping bags. Zip-lok and trash bags.

You can make a dandy stew out of rice& beans (soak the beans first) and some canned goods. Spices.

Nearest sandy beach to London ?

Thinker

I live in West/central London and wondered whether anyone could tell me where the nearest sandy beach is. My son and I are getting a little fed up with the stones/pebbles at Brighton and Hove!

Answer
You need to head to the Essex coast.

There are sandy beaches (of the kind that are suitable for children to play in, build sandcastles, etc) at (starting with the nearest to London first): Leigh-on-Sea, Chalkwell (immediately adjacent to the railway station in this case), a couple in Southend itself ("Three Shells beach", just west of the pier probably your best bet there), and at Shoebury(ness).

To be honest, apart from East Beach at Shoebury, none of these beaches are very big - but they are sandy, of the right sort of sand, and seem to be popular with families with children. And (apart from Shoebury, which is a bit further out) - they are all under an hour's journey from central London (whether by train from Fenchurch Street or by road).

Not so convenient if you're travelling by train, but OK by car: another sandy beach in Essex, a bit nearer to London, and a bit bigger than most of those named above, is at Thorney Bay on Canvey Island....which is in many regards like being in an English seaside town of the 1950s, all decaying art-deco buildings, helter-skelters, candy-floss and rock

EDIT: For all of these, I'd highly recommend checking tide-tables first: sure, the beaches themselves will be there, much the same, whatever the tide (in general the sandy part is above the tideline). The thing is, when it's low tide, beyond the sand, there's a lot of mudflats...which actually I find very beautiful and melancholic, but I don't think many children would (kind of like the taste of beer vs the taste of orange juice: it's definitely an adult thing) - Much better to go when it's high tide, as the sea will be A LOT nearer, and the grey mudflats won't be visible. And there'll be alot more interesting things to see on the water at high tide - a lot of yachts/small boats actually in the water (rather than just resting on the mud) (Especially around Leigh/Chalkwell), probably a lot of windsurfers etc around Southend, too.

The tide tables linked to from here http://www.pla.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11 for Southend-on-Sea should refer to pretty much all of the beaches I've mentioned.

(They work like this: time is given in the 24 hour clock, with the height of the tide stated next to it. High tides and low tides are stated: so "0609 0.9" means a low tide of 0.9metres at 6.09 am "1218 5.6" high tide of 5.6m at 12.18pm)

Opinions Wanted: Looking for what NOT to miss in Bermuda. Favorite places/ beaches??

littlemira

We'll be cruising in July and want to experience some of the best Bermuda has to offer during our stop there - time is limited and we want opinions on the BEST beaches or water activities!! Or exciting things to do with a larger group of 10 people - kids & adults.

Answer
Horeshoe Bay is a wonderful beach, and probably one of the most famous in Bermuda. Photos are all over the place online. It's a fine beach. And to the west side there is a hill with tall coral which give great views of the beach.

My favorite is at Tobacco Bay, near St. George, because of its wonderful snorkeling. There is a small bar with outdoor tables to sit and sample the sun, as well as small beach.

Another favorite is in Smith's Parish on the South Shore try John Smith's Bay off of South Road. A lifeguard is on duty in season, and soft drinks, snacks, fast food are often available from a licensed purveyor in a van on the premises.

Help with outdoor fabrics...?

scorpiowom

I am repainting a metal outdoor table and recovering the seats of the matching chairs. I really want a black and white pattern, but all the outdoor fabrics I am finding are either just single colors or they are ridiculously expensive and have to be special ordered. Are there any treatment products out there to use on cottons or other fabrics that might work or any online resources for ordering cheaper outdoor fabrics?

Answer
I had a bistro set with 4 chair seats I wanted to recover inexpensively. I bought a large (52" x 120") vinyl-coated fabric outdoor table cloth for less than $12 (it was either at TJ Maxx or the sale bin at Pier One) and cut the covers from it. I had more than enough left over to make matching placemats, too. The fabric seemed to hold up well to weather and sunlight. (don't know for how long -- I sold the set after 2 years.)

I've also covered outdoor cushions with just regular fabric. Drapery yard goods or even fabric shower curtains are cheap sources -- I've even used brightly printed bed sheets (that's what is covering my porch couch right now.) I wrap the cushions with plastic first, so they won't soak through if the chairs get left in the rain, then put the fabric covers over that. They can be removed and machine washed.

If you have a choice, pick polyester or other fabrics instead of cotton or nylon. Poly is more resistant to dying so the dyes that are used for polyester tend to hold up better to fading in the sun. It also resists staining and mildew better than cotton or nylon, at least in my experience.

You can also get a paint-on or spray tent waterproofing liquid at some large camping good stores, but it will tend to discolor some fabrics and it really does not make them completely waterproof.

How to make an outdoor table and chairs?

Answerer

Okay well my Mum bought a cheap set of outdoor table + chairs for half price.. but it was glass and after a week it smashed from the umbrella being in it even though it was supposed to last well.. luckily she was able to get her money back but the sale is not on anymore so all the table settings are really expensive.. my mum was really happy to have somewhere nice and comfy to sit as she'd been wanting an outdoor table + chairs for years. So I thought I could build her a wooden set for christmas.. I have no building experience but my Dad said he'd help me and we can do it at his house.. he has built a barbecue table before but said he doesn't really know how to make the individual chairs and that.
Does anyone have any tips? Suggestions?
I was thinking something like this: (second picture) http://outdoor-furniture.luxury-ideas.com/category/outdoor-furniture-design/
Just something basic (without the cushions) Do you think it'd be simple enough?

Answer
I think that if you don't have any building experience you are way out of your league. you need so many different tools to do something like that and unless you make a table a week then they will not pay for themselves. The easiest thing to build is a swing for two. Its allot cheaper to. You don't have to build it out of cedar you can use treated wood or reg wood if you stain it. www.cedarfurnitureoutlet.biz/swings_âcatalog.htm

Picnic table?

bjmargetic

I have to write an essay on picnic tabels. it sounds really boring huh? so anyway i need information on the history of picnic tabels so if you have any answers that aren't about how boring this assignment is they would be greatly appreciated

Answer
here you go....( and I hope this helps )

Picnic Tables (or sometimes a picnic bench) is a modified table with built-in benches on both sides of the table that is for the main purpose of eating a meal outdoors. It is not documented when the first picnic table was used but legend has it as early as the late 1800's, picnic tables were used in public gathering places throughout small towns.

Originally, all picnic tables were made of cedar, pine, and other hardwoods. Over time, both the residential picnic table and commercial picnic table have been made from everything from commercial-grade plastic, PVC, steel, aluminum, recycled materials, and plastic coated metal.

A common picnic table can be constructed using 2'x 4' or 2'x 6' hardwood - standard stud size. To assist in making the picnic tables last over time, wood sealers, stain, or traditional paint has been used before or after construction is complete. Since most hardwood will crack, warp or rott, protecting the wood is highly suggeste to extend the useful life of the picnic table.

Traditionally, picnic tables have a simple construction plan - the table-top and bench-top boards are attached to the trusses or beams using rust-proof wood screws or galvanized nails. The legs are typically secured by using commercial grade carriage bolts fastened by nuts and washers. This helps make the overall frame of the table stable and solid so that it will stand up to heavy outdoor usage.

What's the best way to build a picnic table?

Devon

I want to build some picnic tables for elderly people. I need a table that's easy to get in and out of. I plan to build them and not purchase them from a store. Any thoughts on how i should build them?

I'm doing this for my Eagle Project, i'm going to get some people to help me assemble the tables and transporting them.

Answer
Hummm - old folks' picnic tables probably shouldn't have benches attached - then the old folks can sit in their own lawn chair or a wheel chair can be brought up to the table.

The table itself is quite simple - run around and find one and measure it. you'll generally find them about 30" tall - 24" wide and 72" long - something like that. So you'd buy 12 foot 2x6's - cut those in half and you'd have the planking for the top.

So... you take two 2x6's and you make a big X out of them - the top of the X would be 28 1/2" off the ground - you can glue and nail or even bolt the X together where the cross. These will hold up your table at each end.

So... you make two X's and then at the top of the X, you run a straight piece of 2x6 across - this will hold the table decking. You make this probably 22" long... nail it - glue it - bolt it - it makes for an amazingly strong structure.

Then you deck this thing - put your 2x6's on each side - let the 2x6's stick out 1" to the side - and then space the other 2x6's evenly across the top. When you lay a 2x6 on top, it's real thickness is 1 1/2" - and that will give you the 30" height.

And to put this thing together, the very best thing are the new torque screws - ask at the lumber company - they're sort of expensive but they work so good - you spin them in with a torque bit in your drill. Quick and easy and hold like grizzly bears.

And if you want to write me, I can make a drawing of all this and send it. But you can generally design all this just by looking at somebody else's work.

Good luck.

Wooden picnic table repair.?

fujiwest1

I'm looking for vinyl covers for the slats of our wooden picnic table. The wood table and benches are sagging and splitting. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
What I would do is replace the wood and then apply maritime epoxy or boat makers epoxy to the wood to seal it. I'm not sure what you call it exactly as I have heard it called several different things.

The bottom line is that you take two seperate portions and mix them together and apply it with a brush. Once it hardens it forms a clear plastic like layer and will keep all of the moisture and water out. This stuff is used to seal wooden boats so the wood doesn't wear out from being in the water. It is fairly expensive, around $40 a gallon so plan your job accordingly. If you've ever been to a restaurant or bar that has wooden tables with pictures and coins and crap sealed under "plastic like" stuff on the table top, this is what that is. I would recommend using this same stuff on anything wooden that you plan to keep outside year round. Call a few of your local boat dealers/repair places and I'm sure they will be able to lead you where to go for it. I'll paste a link to a PDF that helps explain what I'm talking about.

I need some advice on table linens and bridesmaids dresses?

Julia

I am having a beach ceremony and decided to rent one of the beach's picnic shelters to have a little party after wards. I will tell you my decorations and will ask the questions at the end. I bought already made white silk roses with green leaves tied with brown branches ( I thought it looked pretty since it would be outdoors and also guests could take them home). I will be putting them in clear hurricane vases for support and pout sand inside of them so everything could match. I will be hanging white silk roses around to make it a bit romantic. I decided to make candy out of sea shell molds( I have white and chocolate) and putting them in ivory organza bags on the table so guests can eat them. I also have clear candle votives with a shell label on them.
My guest book, flutes and cake cutter will be in ivory with white shells in them.


Here are my questions: (only serious answers please)

1.What color should I have my bridesmaid dresses in?

I'm still debating on what type of green I want. I dont know if she should wear a light blue or anyother color. I thought green because of the outdoors.

2. What color should my table covers be?
I thought of ivory (like the sand) and I had bought the white silk flowers and thought that it would be to much white)

Does this decor look ok? I am planning my wedding on a budget. I am not to fashion coordinated so I dont know what colors go with what.

Answer
1. Any type of light/pastel color. What's your favorite color? Light blue sounds good, a sage green would be nice too, but not as colorful.
2. The color of the bridesmaids dresses

What colour curtain and sofa should i get?

hamiga

I am moving into a house that has light blue wall colour. I was wondering what colour to choose for the curtains and the sofa. Please note the living room is small and the coffee table is mahogany.

Answer
When it comes to decor, I like to take cues from nature. Light blue walls (sky/water) and a dark wood table (drift wood) would be complimented best by a beige sofa (sand) and gauzy curtains in either white or dark blue (and by gauzy I mean sheer like linen). I did something similar in my last appartment - it felt very relaxing and breezy like a day at the beach. Enjoy your new home!

To check out an awesome sunset, drive west, all the way down Speedway to Gates Pass, it is absolutely breathtaking. If you like to hike or bike, there are tons and tons of trails all over Tucson and the surrounding areas, check out Sabino Canyon, or Sahuaro National Monument. If its hot take a drive up to Mount Lemon, its about 45 min outside of town and usually at least 20 degrees cooler, they offer picnic areas, hiking, camping, and fishing. Hope this is enough to get you started. Tucson is a cool town if you give it a chance, there is something for everyone, you just have to explore a little.

What are the types of restaurants and how many?

Amanda O

Answer
Historically, restaurant referred only to places which provide tables where one sits down to eat the meal, typically served by wait-staff. Following the rise of fast food and take-out restaurants, a retronym for the older "standard" restaurant was created, sit-down restaurant. Most commonly, "sit-down restaurant" refers to a casual dining restaurant with table service rather than a fast-food restaurant where one orders food at a counter. Sit-down restaurants are often further categorized as "family-style" or "formal".

--Fast food restaurants : A common feature of fast food restaurants is a lack of cutlery or crockery
-- Family style: restaurants that have a fixed menu and fixed price, usually with diners seated at a communal table such as on bench seats. More common in the 19th and early 20th century, they can still be found in rural communities, or as theme restaurants, or in vacation lodges. There is no menu to choose from, rather food is brought out in courses, usually with communal serving dishes, like at a family meal.
-- Casual dining: a restaurant that serves moderately-priced food in a casual atmosphere. Except for buffet-style restaurants, casual dining restaurants typically provide table service. Casual dining comprises a market segment between fast food establishments and fine dining restaurants
--Fine dining: is a phrase used to describe restaurants that create a serious dining experience. The experience can start with the location and the view. The interior of such restaurants is often purported to be quite elegant and designed in accordance with the restaurant's concept. Service attempts to be impeccable, with chefs and service crew typically hailing from the best culinary schools.
Restaurants fitting the fine dining label are normally highly rated; in the four star range and will provide more nuanced service and more expensive food than a standard sit-down restaurant
--fast casual restaurant: is a type of restaurant which is similar to a fast-food restaurant in that it does not offer full table service, but promises a somewhat higher quality of food and atmosphere. It is a growing concept to fill the space between fast-food and casual dining.
--Brasserie, bistro, pub: In France, a brasserie is a café doubling as a restaurant and serving single dishes and other meals in a relaxed setting. A bistro is a familiar name for a café serving moderately priced simple meals in an unpretentious setting, especially in Paris; bistros have become increasingly popular with tourists. Mainly in the UK and other countries influenced by British culture, the pub (short for public house) today serves a similar dual menu, offering beer and other alcohol along with basic food fare. Traditionally, pubs were primarily drinking establishments, whereas the modern pub business relies on food as well, to the point where gastropubs are known for their high-quality "pub food".
--Dining car:is a railroad passenger car that serves meals on a train in the manner of a full-service, sit-down restaurant.While dining cars are less common today than they were in the past, they still play a significant role in passenger railroading, especially on medium- and long-distance trains.

Problem with making a restaurant on the sims 2?

W

I have the sims 2 nightlife. Whenever I build the booths (I always put those half walls in between them) its fine, but when I have the sims go to the place and try to sit down, they can't. It's really frustrating. Anybody know how to fix it?

Answer
Have you put out one of those booking... um... I should maybe call them benches... so they can book a table? But that is only if you are really starting a restaurant. In case you're just making a sitting area, I have no idea :(

Mt everest statistic questions?

Blake

I need the 5 most popular climbing routes of Mt. Everest (or the 5 easiest ones)

and then if you could i need to select two of the popular climbing routes and identify the key places or camps. Make a table for each climbing route. Each table should include the name of each camp, the elevation of the camp in feet, and the difference in elevation between each camp in feet. Identify which section of each route gains the most in elevation.

thanks in advance :]

Answer
A) Japanese Couloir
B) Central North Face

South-East Ridge:
Southeast ridge begins with a trek to Base Camp at 5,380 m (17,700 ft)
Camp "I" at 6,065 m (19,900 ft). a gain of 2,200 feet

Camp "IV" at 7,010 m (23,000 ft) a gain of 1,700 feet
First Step at 27,890 feet. A gain of 4,890 feet. ((The most gain after Base Camp))
Second Step at 28,300 feet. A gain of 410 feet
Third Step at (28,510 ft to 28,870 ft) a gain of 570 feet
The Summit Ridge at (29,029 ft) a gain of 159 feet

As a historical note, I interviewed Sir Edmond Hillary and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1998 for a television station here in Ontario Canada. A huge man ( at 6' 6" ) with a heart of gold. May he rest in peace.

Hope this is what you need.

Warren

m*a*s*h song?

hirim69

its from m*a*s*h where the camp gets potters' favorite movie and they sing " oh, i dont want no more of army life, gee mom i wanna go home." whats it called?

Answer
"They Say That in the Army"

Here are a few lines and the chorus, however, plenty of people makes up their own lines:

They told me in the Army, the girls are mighty fine
You ask for Betty Grable, they give you Frankenstein

Chorus:

Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee, ma, I want to go
Back to Ontario
Gee, ma, I want to go home!

They told me in the Army, the food is mighty fine
A pea rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine.

They told me in the Army, the drink is mighty fine
You order up a whisky, they serve ya turpentine!

They told me in the Army, they love ta sing and dance
But no one said those Nazis would shoot me in the pants!
