What kind of food goes great at the beach?

next Sunday were planning to spend a day at the beach... we were previously planning to go on a picnic and regarding to food i was going to prepare some cold pasta which i have already done last month (i mean last time we went to a picnic cooked and took some cold pasta).. but we changed plans and are now going to the beach. what kind of food can i take with me pls? i mean something apart from sandwiches salads and rice/pasta.. thx :)|||My first thought was Shrimp Cocktail using large Shrimp. You can have something as simple as a really good bread and some cheese. Oh, don%26#039;t forget the obvious, watermelon. Speaking of that, fruit salad and maybe some prosciutto would be nice. Despite the fact that you said no sandwiches I had to mention my beach favorite: Spicy Shrimp Salad Serves 2





Ingredients


1 pound uncooked large, ez-peel shrimp, peeled, de-veined


1/4 cup mayonnaise


1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning


1 small red bell pepper, chopped


1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped


1/2 cup chopped green onions


1/2 cup chopped celery


Radicchio or butter lettuce leaves





Preparation


Cook shrimp in medium pot of boiling salted water until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes. Drain shrimp and cool. Combine mayonnaise and Old Bay seasoning in large bowl. Add bell peppers, green onions, celery and shrimp. Season salad with salt and pepper and toss to blend. Arrange 1 lettuce leaf on each plate. Spoon salad into leaves and serve, or serve on crusty French rolls|||Anything sticky! The sand adds great texture and you can get all of your weekly fiber in one meal!


: P|||We brought a whole roast chicken, that was bought at the store, salads (bean, chickpea, pumpkin), grapes, fresh figs. You could take crackers and dip.





marinated chicken breast wrapped in lettuce leaves with carrot would be nice too.





go to the store and check out everything that you can eat with your hands and have lots of nibbles|||You are ruling everything out now without sandwiches and salads! I like to bring imitation crabmeat salad in a ziplock container and put it on crackers. I also bring pickles and chips.|||i think u should go simple and choose hot dogs!! there good for the beach.|||Are you going to a beach where there are firepits? Hot dogs or hamburgers usually work well. Sandwiches are good--with enough notice, you can even take the work out of it by ordering from someplace like Subway. Just remember to keep the cold foods COLD!

Who can you contact about disgusting garbage littered all over the beach and coastline?

I recently moved to Texas from Oregon, and although I like Texas a lot i am completely appalled and disgusted by the amount of garbage that is spread all over ( and I mean everywhere!) the beach. Everybody here just seems to throw their garbage all over the beach. There isnt a clean area of beach to stretch out and relax on. I have seen dirty diapers, styrafoam cups, milkjugs, tall white buckets, wrappers, alcohol containers, fishing lures, plastic wrap from cigarette packs and things like that. It%26#039;s disgusting and everywhere. I am used to going to the beach and seeing very little garbage. It looks clean and it%26#039;s beautiful when you visit. Oregons beaches were very well taken care of and rarely did I see garbage. How can I bring this to attention and who do I need to start with at trying to make people realize what they are doing by littering. I%26#039;d like to really get some support and hopefully someone in charge of changing things like this in the State to start making changes!|||Guessing that Texas probably had a %26quot;beach cleanup%26quot; similar to the one we have in Oregon, I did a quick search and found this information:





%26quot;On Saturday, Sept. 22, 2007 the Texas General Land Office will once again sponsor their Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup. This event, which has been held twice per year (spring and fall) since 1988, attempts to essentially “sweep” the coast clean from Port Arthur to Port Isabel. Since that first event, the Adopt-A-Beach program has seen 328,000 volunteers remove over 6,200 tons of trash from beaches across Texas.





In addition to removing trash from Texas beaches, Adopt-A-Beach provides critical data, which helps monitor offshore dumping.





This fall’s event with take place at 29 sites up and down the Texas coast. %26quot;





I would contact the Texas Land Office (link is below) and make sure that the beach you moved to is on their list. If not, they would be the ones to see that it is added and cleaned up. And you can either help in the cleanup, or help get out the information announcing the cleanup. Ask their suggestions for how to get the word out to help keep it clean. Remember all the %26quot;Keep Oregon Green%26quot; signs with the graphic of throwing trash into a trash can that we used to have along our highways (late 1970%26#039;s I think)?





Off the Land Office site they had the kind of information you were looking for to help in your cause. Here%26#039;s hoping Texas%26#039; beaches can be as nice as Oregon%26#039;s.|||Tell the mayor then make some friends get together with some friends and help pick up. Hope I helped|||Girly has it right... community business associations hate that kind of thing too. i heard of one case where a person posted a video to youtube and sent the link to the local chamber of commerce. i bet that got attention.|||On the East Coast of Canada, there is a volunteer org. that goes around the beaches every year to clean up exactly the junk you describe. (In Edmonton, we have one of the most impressive river valleys in the world, and yet we, too, have to get our volunteers together every year and pull out fridges, cars, and all manner of garbage from our riverbanks.) Generally, Canadians are less likely to litter than Americans so it%26#039;s less of a problem, but alot of that stuff comes up on the beach from the ocean itself, esp. tampons, condoms, etc. In your home State they may have even paid ppl to comb the beach to keep it clean, as each tide brings in a new wave of filth.





However, I highly recommend that if this is a serious bee in your bonnet, look to creating such a volunteer org yourself. Someone%26#039;s got to do it, and it%26#039;s better coming from an impassioned, motivated person. And new residents who can see a problem with a fresh eye are some of the best citizens in thier adopted home.





Though I might go a little looney and carry around big signs and harrange the litterers myself. When it comes to being powered-by-rage, I%26#039;m a performance artist.





Here are some websites to help. And as a side note, you just pole vaulted into environmentalism. Congratulations! What the heck did you think it was, anyway?|||Contact your friends and family then contact Home Depot. They may donate some garbage bags to your cause. In other words, get up and take action yourself. If we all did a little more of it there would be ALOT less trash spread about.|||Al Gore.|||You are right to be concerned about the trashed out beaches. The best thing you can do is organise voluteers to clean it up. That doesn%26#039;t mean you shouldn%26#039;t try to stop it at it%26#039;s sorce. There are thousands of off shore drilling rigs oil platforms and ships from all over the world in the Gulf of Mexico. Good luck.|||Take a few photos of one of the more %26quot;photogenic%26quot; spots and send them to the local newspaper or TV station. They love that kind of story.





Also keep a litter log so you can see if and when the beaches are cleaned, and how thoroughly. It might be the contractors are dropping the ball and they just haven%26#039;t been busted yet. Make some noise!|||I think it would be a good idea to let the surrounding local companies know that because there%26#039;s garbage everywhere that you won%26#039;t be going to the beach and that they%26#039;ll be missing out on the possible business that you wont be bringing in. It%26#039;s a good idea to put those ideas in the city and those that are supposed to take care of the beach. Maybe get the cops involved, tell them that no one is being ticketed for littering and that you%26#039;re sick of it. Im sure they%26#039;ll love to ticket people. Maybe start a petition or get your local news involved. They love to dig up scandals: Beach new dumping ground? Beach littering common practice? Littered beach gone unnoticed?|||Chief Seatle said over a hundred years ago that those who sleep in their garbage will die in it


the people who contaminate their world will get what is coming to them


it is the peoples fault


they are to blame, human beings,Mankind ,no other species is guilty


Contact the people who do the dumping


the Government is far away ,and they are not throwing dirty diapers on the beach


At least i hope not .|||Pick it up yourself. If your appaled and disgusted by the amount of garbage , then pick it up yourself.

The beach... just some questions?

A couple of random beach-related questions. All in curiosity.





1. What time do you usually arrive at the beach when you do go?


2. Do you usually bring money/change to the beach?


3. What time do you leave the beach? (On average)


4. Do you usually bring a lunch to the beach to eat on the sand? If not, what do you do?


5. What months do you think are the most popular for beach-goers? (Especially in Florida, California, and New York)


6. What times of the day are the most popular for people arriving/leaving the beach in the above locations?


7. Beaches which attract the most tourists?|||We usually have a %26quot;beach pack%26quot; in the trunk of the car with everything we like to take, folding beach chairs, a grill, a beach umbrella. A second set of swim gear. We usually stop off at a grocery store on the way to the beach. May thru November for California. Sometimes the winter months too but we don%26#039;t swim.





Huntington Beach is popular with families. Almost all the beach coastline is popular in California.





We don%26#039;t have a specific time, we just go when we feel like it.|||1. 11:00


2. yes


3. 4:30


4: no, leave for like a half hour and get subway


5. June, July, and August


6.10:30 to 5:30


7. Myrtle Beach, Maimi Beach, and Long Beach in LA.|||1. When I%26#039;m staying for the week, usually about 1 or 2 am (or another late time)becasue of traveling.


2. Yes, but I am careful not to waste it on tacky souvenirs.


3. I go back to the hotel, condo, beach house, or wherever I%26#039;m staying around 6 or when it starts to get dark.


4. Sometimes I do.


5. I%26#039;d say the summer months- from May to August.


6.I think they would come at about 3 (after the peak sun hours) and stay till about six or seven.


7. Let%26#039;s see- Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Cancun, Malibu, Hawaii....the list goes on and on.|||I personally do not plan anything out to that degree,I much prefer to do things on a whim(no plan at all)just start driving and end up somewhere.I don%26#039;t bring a lunch because I prefer to eat out,and I don%26#039;t bring a change of cloths(for my self) because the northern coast where I live is freezing,thus making its beauty something I admire from afar,because I%26#039;m not into water that is 50 degrees below.However if it were a different beach I were going to all together my answer would be entirely different.

Survey! anyone remember getting changed on the beach into a swim suit wrapped in a towel what a hoot?

Oh yes, I know for sure when I done it it was like a Benny Hill sketch.|||yep...i sure do. some fun gotta use a BIG resort towel.|||yes me and my mates used to sit watchin men on the beach doing that just incase.....|||yea then you went into the water and your swimsuit turned into a nylon bag .......then you had to round run to get dry cause somebody else was using the towel to get changed|||I don%26#039;t bother with the towel hun....|||yes i do!! how funny is that i cant believe i forgot about that!! what a great feeling once you were dressed it was equivalent to finishing paying the bills now at this stage of the game lol great memory......|||Thats so funny to remember,as i had 2 brothers and sometimes their mates were about,id crap meself,i proberly looked worse for wear as i couldnt always get the ties done right..cheers|||lol lol - yes, I do!|||last time I was on a beach,I was on my own!! well it was April,Easter time in Greece and the water was freezing.the fish did not complain and neither did I.Even seen a dolphin,while in the water,quite far out,but it was luvely!|||Yes.!!!|||Shock! I cannot imagine it! Bring your bad room their must be good.|||No, but I remeber getting back into a swimsuit that way ;-)|||and afterwards soaking wet and sand clinging everywhere

Change around my beach bedroom?

So I just re-did my bedroom about two years ago. It%26#039;s a beach theme with relaxing green and blue walls. I%26#039;ve got 5 windows and i have plenty of pictures and shells and starfish and sanddollars on the walls. (its not too much though, i keep it neat) I also have two light maple dressers. (one of them with a mirror on top.) I love my room but idk i just have this urge to change it up a bit.. re-arrange things a little but keeping it all in all the same concept and colors and all. any suggestions?|||take down old pics and put in new bedding, curtains, and pics. it%26#039;ll give you a new look without being a real change|||i would do an Arabian theme:-)





happy 4th of July!!|||Pictures would help!!|||Maybe add some different pillows to your bed. Or a different bedspread? You can hang pictures above your bed. I have a picture of a palm tree divided into four canvases. I hung them together about an inch apart and it looks awesome! You can also install a canopy.

At what age is it inappropriate for your child to change into their swimwear right on the beach?

I would say at about 4, but I saw one women who let her 7 and 9 year old daughters change into their swimsuits right in public! What do you think?|||i think the same as you. 4- but not over.


not just for the sake of you child not hitting puberty, doesn%26#039;t stop the weirdos from looking.


for the safety of your child and all the pervs out there, they would welcome any age, and any sex.





the beach has so many people and many likings. i would not give the people the time of day --for looking at my child in any way that is not appropriate.


if you give something to look at,people will take it and thats the wrong impression i want for my family on the beach|||I don%26#039;t think its ever appropriate.|||37 I believe and I think there is a weight limit too.





to each their own, personally I never changed my kids on the beach but I%26#039;ve changed there a few times myself LOL, that sand can be a problem though








rah rah to ****** Kona Kathie ********* (found way below)|||I would say about 4 too.


At 9 you are way too close to puberty for my taste. (I was getting boobs at 10!)|||I would go with 3 or 4. You should still cover them with a towel. If you go any older, some people would be offended!|||I think that is way WAY to old! I agree 4 is the limit and by 3 1/2 they should not even want to be naked in front of others. Something is wrong there that the kids would even do it.|||i agree, 7 and 9 is alittle old, especially with all the sick-o%26#039;s out there. you can%26#039;t be to safe with your little ones. 4 does seem like a good cut off age.|||ew


i agree


i say 4, 5


man she must%26#039;ve been............whoa|||I don%26#039;t think it is right at any age! You can never trust prevs out there, this world is FULL of sick people!|||3|||when they stop wearing diapers.|||i agree. four is about the right age, and when they start going to elementary school then they are probably too old|||I would never and I hate when people do. I don%26#039;t know why but naked children (no matter WHAT age) should do be out in public, its unnecessary and inapropriate.


Sorry to anyone who does this but NO|||I would agree with you also... 9 is wayy too old to be nude in public, and i dont know how the kids are okay with that... i have a 7 year old sister and she refuses to even be topless on the beach even though she has nothing to hide...|||LOL at slim. How about never? Do you know how many pervs roam the beach just looking for that ****? its called the bathroom...weirdo.|||after age 5 (at the most) and i mean most


lol





and i know what you mean i think its gross when people just have their child change just RIGHT THERE in frount of you and their oviously too old to do that.|||I would say 3 or 4 is getting pretty close to the limit. I have been to beaches that didn%26#039;t have changing rooms or bathrooms though, so maybe with a towel around them then a little older. If those girls just stripped naked, then probably not the best choice... There are a lot of sickos out there, plus people should learn a little modesty imo.|||i wouldnt let a child get changed on the beach without being covered - ther are all sorts of wierdos out their


x


o


:)|||with all the freaks now days, men / women get off on children.


Even if they are in there baithing suit , much less naked.


I would have them have there suit under there clothes, and when its time to leave, just go to the bathroom, or let them just have a towel under them.


but if u have to change them there, i say maybe 3ish.


9 ish u start to develop a bit.


that mother is wacky.|||OMG! I had boobs @ 9 ( well just stared getting them) that so gross i dont think that it is ever okay to change a kid on the beach!|||I would say as soon as they can dress themselves they can do it in private I would still do it privately if the child was over 3, personally.|||who cares you are at the beach to relax and have fun.. not get worked up about what someone else is doing...it only becomes a problem if you make it one...








get on with your own life|||certainly nothing post pubecent, probably by 6 they should stop, earlier if they are uncomfotable with it|||I don%26#039;t like doing it now....just because there are some sick people out there. And if I saw some perv staring at my baby, I don%26#039;t know if I could control myself from killing him.


But I%26#039;d definitely say once they are old enough to stand up to be changed, you should have someone hold a towel around them atleast. Or take them to the car.|||um i don%26#039;t think that should ever be considered appropriate|||Frankly, I don%26#039;t see it as an issue for anyone at any age.|||My gosh, I am stunned at how repressed people in the U.S. are about nudity- and we%26#039;re talking about KIDS here! I am American but have lived in Europe for many years. Kids there run around without suits till they are 4 or so, certainly a quick change would be no problem. The women often go topless (although often it%26#039;s not the young, sexy ones, that%26#039;s what%26#039;s comical).





I%26#039;d say that before puberty, at least a halfhearted attempt at holding a towel up should maybe be made, but everyone else on the beach should not be staring, either. It%26#039;s sort of like when a woman breastfeeds in public, she should make some attempt to be modest, but everyone else shouldn%26#039;t scrutinize her overly, either.





I think our attitudes here towards nudity, breastfeeding, and sex are way too represed and unhealthy. Hence, this person actually posting about this as it bothered him/her so much it obviously upset them!!!|||5

Will oil spills ruining conservative politicians' beach vacations change their mind about stopping regulation?

Or will conservative politicians including both the the republicans and libertarians, still think NOT having regulations on business for good reasons like safety, the environment and of course the economy of the country is a good idea?





I ask this because what%26#039;s good for billionaires %26amp; other wealthy people who own the majority stock in oil companies and the wealthy CEOs of oil companies doesn%26#039;t mean that what%26#039;s also good for the other 95% or higher percent of the country.|||I was listening to talk radio earlier, and they were dealing with this exact thing.

So in the end, not much has changed.%26quot;





Meaning: They%26#039;ve already made up their minds, so you%26#039;re not likely to change them.|||No, it%26#039;s Obama%26#039;s fault, remember?





It can%26#039;t possibly be deregulation that made this happen!





*rolls eyes*|||It%26#039;s Obama%26#039;s administration that has failed enforce the existing regulations.|||Markey is really teed about that. He was going to the resort. Now he will clean birds.|||lets see, there re regulations on automobiles and they have recalls all the time, maybe you%26#039;ve heard of toyota, the banks are some of the most regulated and maybe you%26#039;ve heard of the bailouts, medication is regulated by te FDA and they are always making recalls, oil rigs are regulated and we still have spills, airplanes are regulated and we had 9/11 an many other plane crashes, yeah regulations work well|||Why can%26#039;t Democrats regulate without practically taking over?





hmmmm?





And then say conservatives want NO regulation because they don%26#039;t want to practically take over.





Retards...





Evel...if deregulation was the problem, why didn%26#039;t Obama reinstate any when allowing MORE offshore drilling?|||dude..you are blind like all the other libs..the eco freaks shut down drilling about 30 years ago.they forced cos to drill in extreme areas like 5000 feet down,plus another 5000 to get to the oil .what the hell did you dopes expect other than a disaster waiting to happen !we have oil reserves near the shore and on land that we cannot harvest.talk about stupid ! ocean drilling 1000 feet or less poses no problems...all the safety features are above the water.no..the eco freaks cannot tolerate this ! so ..people enjoy the oil disaster..you morons caused it .|||This is nonsense. Do what regulations are you referring to, the ones that this Administration ignored? It%26#039;s because of the %26quot;impossible%26quot; regulations that they were forced to drill in such deep waters to begin with. All we know at this point is that an accident most likely occurred. There are some indications that safety inspectors may have over-looked some things. Is there any connection with this and the fact that Obama was the #1 recipient of BP political money (almost $1 million) over the last 20 years have any influence in that? Don%26#039;t know.





When conservatives are talking about regulations, they are talking about the kind that do not provide a value to society, they make American companies uncompetitive in the world, they force jobs elsewhere, they stifle growth (jobs for more Americans). Regulations are always needed for honest business practices and the good of society.

Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca鈥?/a> This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Is it ok to change clothes on the beach?

if you%26#039;re only nude for a short bit of time? or can u be slapped with an indecent exposure charge|||In America, no. But you can practice changing with a towel or underneath your clothes without exposing yourself.|||Depends on where you are, you didn%26#039;t say.





When I was in Europe, people just stripped down and put on their trunks. In the American South, we did the same as kids, but wouldn%26#039;t dare as adults.|||In Greece you can stay naked with your family and your girlfriend and any other strangers without even feeling weird.


Nobody will bother looking at you cause this is so normal (specially at some islands).|||I%26#039;ve seen families do that often at beaches in Europe. Transient nudity doesn%26#039;t seem to considered much of an offense there. Here in the US, police would be called.

Can i make my pink bedroom beach themed?

i have a really bright pink bedroom with black furniture. im really gurly but i also LOVE the ocean. i have alot of shells in my room, shell candle holders, beach pics, and im planning on ordering a beach wall mural like this http://muralsuperstore.com/BEYONDHANNASG鈥?/a>


b.c a reagular beach mural wont look nice...but how else can i make it beach/ocean themed without changing the paint...thanks|||That mural is horrible.Don%26#039;t buy it.


People usually think blue and white for a beach feel but we can work with pink walls.


Beach themes have to do with clean lines and bright quiet colors.


Here are some ideas :http://www.linensource.com/default.aspx?鈥?/a>

Try and find a glass lamp that you can fill with sand and shells.


White furniture is always a plus. Natural wood is just as nice.|||You could try getting a wooden floor so it looks like a deck, and getting some of those giant wall stickers with shells or fish or something beach-y on them.


You could also put a sun sticker up the window and get some tropical-looking curtains, maybe with hawaiian flowers or something on them?





And get a pet fish xD|||You made an excellent choice with that mural and the colors your working with..Now it%26#039;s time to work your imagination a bit more. Some of these suggestions you can do on your own.





1. Get shells and paint them in the hot pink. Arrange them in a blue bowl. You can find amazing blue bowls at the thrift shops. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OK0g3VoCj-M/St鈥?/a>


2, While your at the thrift shop get a chandelier spray paint it the same blue as the bowl and hang seahorses from it http://flyingfishshop.com/seacritter.htm鈥?/a> (there are some great starfish and crabs on this page too )


3. While your there grab some ornate frames in different sizes...Paint them the blue also Add fantasy ocean and sea beach images to the frames. You may luck out and find a sun mirror frame. http://media.photobucket.com/image/fanta鈥?/a> You can print these out and put them in the frames. http://trash2treasure.wordpress.com/cate鈥?/a>


4. Get some gauzy fabric in blue and pink or dye it. You need about 8 yards of each for your window and your bed. Hang it in back of your bed and over the window.


5. Salt lamps are beautiful http://www.himalayansaltsupply.com/Home.鈥?/a>


6. Get a garden sculpture ...Thier all over the stores now..Gnomes and fairys. Some are solor lights http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.鈥?/a>





But as you see there are so many things you can do to pull this together even with your colors. Have fun with it!!

I am thirteen years old and I have really annoying tummy fat on me. Does any one know what i should do?

I am so embarrised about this that i don%26#039;t like to go to the beach,change in the locker room at school,swimming in my pool, or even looking in the mirror at my self. And i have really bad self esteem so that makes it even worse. please help.|||Believe it or not, it%26#039;s not that uncommon for boys your age to have a bit of tummy fat. If you haven%26#039;t started to go through puberty yet, or if you%26#039;ve just started, then take a deep breath and relax. During the very quick growth you go through over the course of your teen years, your body usually finds good use for all that stored up energy, so puberty usually sorts all that out if you%26#039;re not actually overweight.





If you are a bit overweight, your best bet is to eat healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables--french fries and chips don%26#039;t count!-- lay off the soda and junk food for snacking (have an apple or something if you need a morning or afternoon snack... whatever fruit you really like), and get plenty of exercise.





You%26#039;re really too young to be lifting weights for another three years or so, but you can do all the cardio exercise you want, and can do as many crunches, sit ups, push ups, etc, you want to get your tummy flat.





It doesn%26#039;t have to be exercise you hate, either. If there are games you like playing outside, do that. Like going for hikes? Do that instead.





The best diet and exercise for you are the healthy ones you LIKE, because you%26#039;re not going to want to stick with things you think suck... so this is a great time to explore all your options and find the healthy lifestyle you%26#039;re going to enjoy, so being healthy isn%26#039;t a chore for you.





Then all you gotta do is opt for the healthy stuff you really enjoy instead of the stuff you really enjoy that%26#039;s bad for you, and you%26#039;ll end up looking a lot better and feeling a lot better for it.|||exercise. do crunches. jion a gym. eat healthier. but most improtant exercise.|||Get off the computer and go exercise. NOW you have been helped and i am sure you feel much better.|||try lifting weights and playing sport to get you active it will tone up your muscles and help you loose what you want to|||Don%26#039;t worry. EVERY 13 year old is conscious about their body. Relax. Don%26#039;t get anorexic. You probably look fine.





And if you don%26#039;t; well that%26#039;s too bad, because there is very little teenagers can do about their weight - it just has to do with genetics.|||you have to eat less fattening food and excessive more.|||Have you heard of daily pushups and situps? Do at least 25 pushups a day.


Seriously though, it%26#039;s the best thing you can do.|||hun you need to take a walk evernight maybe walk the dogs if you have any or get a dog .try cutting down on sugar and bread.maybe ride your bike longer distances walking does help try it for a few months and you will see the pounds start to fade|||I know how you feel....I have battled these problems my whole adult life. My best advice to you, is to take it day by day. Just eat better ( make healthy choices...if you really don%26#039;t know what to eat, you could ask the school nurse or your doctor), and get exercise regularly. You can be healthier and happier if you stick to it....good luck and don%26#039;t be so hard on yourself ( I know...easier than it sounds)|||hmmmm|||find some kind of out door sport that you may be in interested in being very active at such a young age is very important. when at home do crunches after meals burn off all that fatty substances.|||walking is the best exercise for tummy fat. start with a half mile walk and soon you will see yourself up to 5 miles a day.

I highly recommend Juicing. Carrot Juice. Carrot/Ginger/Apple. Wheatgrass.

Is it legal to change into a swimsuit on the beach?

or out of it? If I just want to quickly take off my shorts or take off my swimsuit to change, am I allowed to? or can some1 call the police. Even if i can get in trouble, what are the chances of someone calling the police?|||its not illegal unless you expose yourself.


be sure to wrap a towel around your waist as you change to be sure that your privates remain private otherwise you can be charged with indecent exposure.

Are the Women Topless on European Beaches?

We are considering a vacation to Europe, if we can get some bargains. I am not quite sure where, it will depend on the prices. I have been told by friends that the women all go topless on the beaches. I have also been told that there is a lot of nudity on the beaches, that people change into their swimming clothes right on the beach, and that there is sometimes sex on the beaches.





I looked at some travel books, and found words like “surprising to Americans” and “a different dress code”, but no real info.





I have two teenage daughters and a teenage son. My family is kind of relaxed about clothes. My daughters take showers when my son is in the bathroom, and visa-versa. We change clothes together in hotel rooms. My son has seen me and my daughters naked many times, and my daughters have seen my son and husband naked many times. So I don’t think seeing a topless woman on the beach is a problem.





I am concerned about nudity. It’s one thing in the family, but different with strangers. Also, if all the women are topless, are my daughters going to feel pressure to expose their breasts.





Does anyone have any real experience so they can tell me what European beaches are really like. Thanks.|||I%26#039;m not a beach babe but have visited many beaches in Spain, France, the UK and the Netherlands at least.





Regarding the topless thing - some do, some don%26#039;t and it%26#039;s not treated as a big deal either way, so don%26#039;t worry about your daughters. If they don%26#039;t want to go topless then there%26#039;s no pressure to do so. Wearing a bikini/swimsuit is completly normal (apart from on nude beaches maybe but then these are clearly signposted normally). They can make their choice and be happy with it. There%26#039;s no pressure to do it either way.





Big No! Sex on the beach is not normal and in my experience anyone doing this in public would be told to go get a room in no uncertain terms. Being topless on a beach and sex in public are two very different things and with kids on the beach there%26#039;s no place for the latter. It%26#039;s not the norm at all so I don%26#039;t know who says otherwise!





Yes people can and do get changed on the beach but generally for the bottom half it%26#039;s done discreetly with a towel





To be honest your family sounds like they would fit in fine on the average beach in any of the countries I mentioned and indeed even in some countries like the Uk it%26#039;s not even common for kids to see their parents naked





So I wouldn%26#039;t worry if I were you. If you can find the right deal then jump on it. Then you can set the story straight for other American families in the future. It%26#039;s amazing some of the myths that are spread in the US about Europe (and probably vice versa!) and I never realised it until I started on Y!A.|||They do not %26#039;all%26#039; go topless on beaches, that is a myth. Some do, so don%26#039;t. It%26#039;s entirely up to the individual to choose to be topless or not.





And in terms of practicality - Europe is a big place, and goes quite far north, where beaches are quite cold. You are highly unlikely to see anyone topless in Ireland, for example, for the simple reason that it%26#039;s too bloody cold.





You do find that people are far more relaxed about nudity and social issues relating to the body and nudity in Europe, and personal choice is a major part of this. People can choose to strip off on designated nude beaches, go topless on other beaches, or just go around in their swimsuits. It%26#039;s no biggie.





However, sex in public places is not considered appropriate generally.|||The differences between your average beach here in the US and those in Europe are just a matter of degree. At most beaches here and there, they wear the same attire. At some beaches, it%26#039;s more common for women to be topless, but then again, go down to South Beach near Miami and you%26#039;ll see the same thing. Clothing optional sections are more common there, and rare here. Yes, you do sometimes see fleeting nudity as some people discretely change, but that%26#039;s not common everywhere in Europe. You%26#039;ll see nudity more often in advertisements and on TV over there, but it%26#039;s not a big deal.





You%26#039;re likely to notice the more casual approach to nudity there, but it%26#039;s easy to avoid or turn a blind eye to. But if you want to seek out places where you can be topless or nude, you%26#039;ll easily find them. Just ask around.|||Good God no. The women on European Beaches are not all topless. I was in Barcelona for nine weeks last summer and I can attest to that at least for Spain. Most of the time about 1 in 3 of the girls on the beach I saw were topless and most of them were the under 30 set. But if you decide to allow your daughters to try topless sunbathing don%26#039;t worry. The Spanish guys couldn%26#039;t care less. The Spanish girls are dumbfounded by how uptight American women are on the subject. They all grew up with bare breasts on the beach. It%26#039;s just skin to them. They didn%26#039;t notice a group of 6-7 topless American college girls on the beach they shouldn%26#039;t notice you.

How to build a faux beach?

I need to recreate the beach look with the change over into water. this element will be in an event space that people will walk on. Cost is an issue. We are trying to do this with the least amount of mess as well. Time is also a factor.|||How about a painted drop on the floor?





You can buy big canvas paint dropcloths cheap at any hardware store. Prime them with white paint or spray-on primer first, then paint however you like. While the paint is still wet, you can sprinkle a bit of sand on there for texture and it%26#039;ll stay put when the paint dries--far less messy than using a ton of loose sand.





You could also add easily removable set dressing for realism and texture--driftwood, shells, seaweed, old cans--whatever would be appropriate. Perhaps you could even paint one edge of the dropcloth to look like the sea.|||Water on stage is tricky. I%26#039;ve seen it done but on very expen$ive sets. If cost is a major issue, you may need a more creative solution. Consider the angle positioning of the set and some creative blocking. You can create a faux beach without water, and then have the actors move offstage or upstage just out of the audience sight lines and then reappear soaking wet as if they%26#039;ve just come back from the surf. Perhaps a large beach umbrella or cabana near one of the wings for transition. (Just make sure the heat%26#039;s on in the theatre if you%26#039;re up north, or you%26#039;ll have shivering actors.)

Is there a rule change in overhand setting for Beach Volleyball as per FIVB Rulebook?

This is when the overhand setting is not used as attack hit. Somebody explained that shoulder squaring or positioning need not apply and that the ball may rebound to any position as opposed to the ball travelling perpendicular forward or back. What is critical is whether overhand setting is held or doubled. Pls also expound on technicality of finger motion when setting. Thanx.|||As far as I could see, there are no rule changes regarding overhand setting. Since it is easy to figure out where you are setting the ball, there is no deception to the other team. The set is judged solely on the contact. All the referees are concerned with is the double hit or lift. A double hit shows lack of control and the lift shows too much control.


I think what you are talking about with the fingers is the use of the %26quot;beach%26quot; dig with your hands over your head. Technically, you use your fingers since the ball hits them, but that is not what the book means by finger action. They mean the overhand pass. You use your hands to control the ball. You are not hitting the ball.


I hope I have explained things and not confused you more.

What changes water temperature at the beach?

I know weather has an effect on water temperature, but if you could provide more detail about it that would be helpful :)

Thanks :)|||I think you%26#039;re asking for a lot (you could be doing this research yourself) but here are some things to get you started:





1. The amount of sun. The sun heats the water, so generally when it%26#039;s sunny the water will warm up.





2. The amount of upwelling. Along many coasts (especially west coasts) there is a wind that blows parallel to the shore. The Coriolis Force deflects the water away from the coast, and it%26#039;s replaced by colder water from down below.





3. Internal waves. There are waves that travel around the ocean that you don%26#039;t see--they are partly what explains El Nino. A couple types of these waves are Kelvin and Rossby. When one of these waves comes through an area, you wouldn%26#039;t see it on the surface, but it may bring cold water up or push warm water down.





4. Evaporation. If a dry wind is blowing across the ocean, you can get strong evaporation which removes heat from the ocean and cools it down.





There are others, but this should be enough to get you started. You can find the references you want by searching using some of the terms I mentioned.|||SUN. DUH!|||The above answer is correct. Evaporation is actually a very important factor in hot, dry climates. I remember in the Middle East a few years ago, they had massive fish kills when the sea water overheated. The reason was a low pressure system had parked itself over land in the middle of August and was preventing the normal offshore flow that occurs. The humidity topped out for several days and the surface water temperature rose to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It was normally about 92 to 93 degrees.|||Water temperature changes only with weather changes, I believe.





Water has a very slow temperature change.





For example, lets say it%26#039;s about 40 degrees for a month straight. The water will eventually turn to 40 degrees. Then if you go a week with it being 100 degrees, the water may rise to about 45 degrees, but it won%26#039;t get to the 100 degrees for a longer time.





I know this isn%26#039;t a great example, but it%26#039;s all I got. =P





It%26#039;s great for cold-blooded animals, because they can%26#039;t survive in cold-water temperatures. They rely on the warmth of the water to keep them warm, becasue, unlink mammals, they can%26#039;t produce warmth on their own. Once the water starts to get colder, they can swim down deeper to warmer waters, or swim away.

How do the Ocean Tides change?

I have been in Panama City beach this past week, and haven%26#039;t seen the tides change at all... Never noticed them not changing on previous beach vacations.|||Check wikipedia:





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tides





Basically it%26#039;s to do with the rotation of the earth and the tidal forces from the sun and moon.





Hope that helps!





Matthew|||The moon`s gravity infuences the tides by an average difference of about 8 feet. (Difference of high and low tide)


This will be more noticable on very shallow beaches. The sun also affects the tides to a lesser degree. Even though the sun is larger, it is much further away.For you gavity seekers out there. You can build a devise to measure the gravity. Build a large capacitor using aluminum foil and glass plates as insulators. Hook this up to a 555 timer where the capacitor controls frequency. The frequency will be affected by the force (due to gravity) between the plates of the capacitor!|||The ocean tides change in relation to the moons gravitational pull upon the earth in it%26#039;s natural rotation. I beleive that what your experiencing, or not seeing, is caused by your proximity to the earths equator, where the gravitational pull would be at its least upon the earth.|||The tides change by the cycles of the moon.

What are some seasonal and daily changes that happen on the beach?

Homework project. No good websites to help me.|||daily: tides (high and low), sunrise/sunset, shifting sand from wind.





seasonal: attendance by people, air temperature changes (depends upon location), water temperature changes, lifeguard presence or absence, jellyfish in the water (warmer vs. cooler water temperatures).|||Tides|||On a daily basis, the sea comes in and goes out and comes in and goes out and comes in and goes out and comes in and goes out and so on and so forth.

What is the importance of beaches?

I need some help on these few questions...





1. What is the source of beach sand?





2. How might the beach change seasonally?





3. What is the importance of beaches?





Thanks!|||The source of beach sand depends on the location. On the coast of Washington state, beach sand is mostly granite particles that have eroded from mountain ranges, washed down rivers and is deposited on beaches by tidal and storm waves. In Jamaica, there is little erosion from the mountains. The sand is generally composed of ground up coral and shells. That is why the beaches are so white and the waters so blue. The sun reflects off the shell particles. During Summer months, beaches are flat and free of large chucks of debris. During winter storms, sand is washed out to sea, leaving a steeper slope on the beach. Large logs can litter the beaches during Winter storms. Beaches support marine life, sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, sand is important for the local economies-tourism. Beaches protect the surrounding landscape from eroding into the sea.|||Sand comes from the water washing against rock over the years leaving the tiny pieces of sand.





The beach changes seasonally by high and low tides and sometimes there are many shells on the beach like October I think, sometimes a lot of seaweed.





Just a nice place to sit and watch the waves. It has a calming effect.|||Sand is washed up from ocean, and dries in sun.





It doesn%26#039;t, the weather changes... and then people don%26#039;t go because it%26#039;s cold.





They are fun to go and play in waves and make sand castles, spend time with family and friends... and fly kites.





yay!|||1. Rock erosion


2. Waves and currents alter the beach


3. They provide a barrier between the ocean and the land, and help prevent further erosion.|||beaches suck a d|||they are awsome!!! DUH!!

I am on South Beach diet, can I change the low fat mayo to low fat miracle whip?

I am wondering if it would be a bad thing to do this. I am making the cilantro mayo.|||I can%26#039;t give you the exact numbers, but Miracle Whip will definitely have more carbs. You can switch it, but you need to look on the labe, find out how many more carbs it has, then offset those carbs elsewhere.|||If they have similar calories I would say yes!|||I had a load of unwanted fat in all the wrong areas until I used acai berry, I realize they say that pills won%26#039;t work, however they definitely worked for me, and they have been showcased on CBS News too. There%26#039;s a free trial on currently at http://nupels.fatburnstore.info , try it out, what is the worst that could happen?|||Yeah you can though the mircale whip has more carbs.|||I have been through it all and know what%26#039;s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can%26#039;t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I%26#039;ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.





Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.





First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can%26#039;t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...





This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it%26#039;s good for the heart.





However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It%26#039;s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I%26#039;ve found a great addition to help any one out, it%26#039;s a natural weight loss supplement called ProShapeRX. Now don%26#039;t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don%26#039;t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn%26#039;t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It%26#039;s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info, also if your in time, theres a limited free trial where all you have to do is pay like 5 bucks for s/h which I took advantage of but in the long run, I ended up ordering more. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it%26#039;s the best pill I%26#039;ve tried and I%26#039;ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn%26#039;t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I%26#039;ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.





Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate

South Beach Diet-Weight not changing? Help?

I started the South Beach Diet almost one month ago. After doing the 2 week induction...My daily food intake now consists of either a South Beach Meal Replacement Bar for Breakfast or some form of eggs depending on how much time I have. For lunch I have either a grilled chicken salad or a South Beach pizza with a very small salad. Same for dinner. I also snack on sf jello w/ sf cool whip, broccoli with cheese, or turkey slices. I also work out moderately at least 3 or 4 times a week. I have noticed being a bit more firm and toned, but I have not lost one single pound. Please help?! I realize that scales are not the only judge but it would be nice to see SOME weight loss for all my effort.|||Are you measuring yourself? Especially since you are exercising, you may be losing fat but gaining muscle. In that case you may weigh the same, but still be shrinking because muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less space for the same amount of weight.





This is a good thing!





Also, SOME people find that the bars stall their weight loss. Try doing without for a few weeks and see what happens.
