Skate sizes?

I asked this question before but a million questions came right after it and within seconds it was on page 5

I'm looking to buy a new pair of rollerblades since my old pair broke several years ago. Should I look for a skate that is the same as my shoe size or do they size them differently? I wear a size 14 so it's important I order the correct size the first time.

Get a little bit bigger. You can always tighten the skates.

Is anyone SICK of the massive food companys trying to go all healthy??

Like bloody Kelloggs trying to convince mothers that Frosties, a cereal where each piece is caked in sugar, is healthy because a cartoon tiger rides around on a pair of rollerblades....and they buy it! and every food is now 'wholegrain' or 'enriched with omega 3' or 'no added colourings'.....no added FUN more like....what happened to bright coloured food, food pumped full of crap so much it glowed...i know it was unhealthy but the fact is im still alive, so it couldnt have been that bad!

But although they keep Frosties, they get rid of all the good cereals!! what happened to Corn Pops?? or Lucky Charms?? America still has them....i took a box home when i went there....i put it in my hand luggage....the guy who had to search my bag gave me a funny look....he obviously doesnt know the only way to get them in the uk is by paying 7 QUID A BOX AT SELFRIDGES!!! (for any american readers thats 13 dollars!) its mad...

No it doesn't bother me at all. They make to food that sells the best. That is a way to make a profit. So I don't loose any sleep over it.

Fitness in Your Fifties - Taking it Outdoors

The summer is rapidly coming to a close, but there are still many weeks of beautiful weather…perfect for exercising outdoors.  Living in the southeast has its advantages!  It’s often still hot enough in the afternoon that it’s probably preferable to engage in these activities early in the morning or in the evening, after 6pm, when it’s a little cooler.  The great part of being active outdoors is that the possibilities are endless.  You can walk or run…you can ride a bike…you can rollerblade, and the outdoor pools are still open if you enjoy swimming.  How about a little volleyball or softball or even soccer?  Live in a place that has great trails?  Go hiking with friends…give rock climbing a try…or take a rafting trip.  All of these are wonderful ways to enjoy the great outdoors, while giving your body a workout.

 

You also need to consider some other activities that you usually call  “chores,” which in reality are a great way to be active and productive at the same time.  Take some time to weed your garden.  How about planting some new flowers that will bloom in the fall?  Your grass is still growing…30-40 minutes of mowing your lawn will burn some calories (unless you are using a riding mower).  Throw open that garage door and give it a good cleaning.  Many suburbanites use their garages as a storage unit, rather than a place to park their car.  Items in it tend to pile up, so take some time to go through boxes and dispose of unwanted items.  Wash the car…or cars.  Make it even more physical by giving it a good waxing after it’s dried.  If you own a dog, take it for a long walk (20+ minutes) every day.  Every one of these are great ways to move your body, work your muscles, increase your heart rate as well as provide your body with vitamin D (which comes from exposure to the sunlight).  It doesn’t always have to be “formal” exercise to count.

 

I urge you to take advantage of the extended daylight…the moderate temperatures and the chance to enjoy the outdoors.  You might be tempted to take your iPod or MP3 player with you on these outings.  My advice is to skip it and just enjoy the sounds of your surroundings.  If any streets are involved, you need to be listening for cars, which wearing headsets might make difficult.  Try saving your music for those indoor workouts on the treadmill or elliptical.  I always think its fun to enjoy your surroundings on a walk or bike ride.  Sometimes you might notice something that you’ve never seen before, which can surprise and delight you.

 

It’s important to intentionally plan these activities.  Be sure that you do something 3-5 times per week. Put them on your calendar as a reminder.  Whenever possible, enlist a friend to go with you.  The camaraderie will provide you with stimulating conversation and make you more accountable.  It will make the time go faster too.  On the flip side…don’t put this off if you don’t have anyone who can join you.  Instead, challenge yourself and make the commitment to do it!  Marking it off on your kitchen calendar will make your accomplishment more visible.

 

If you still have school age children, don’t let the back to school rush cause you to give up exercise (with the promise to return to it in October).  If your child plays a fall sport, go to the games and walk around the field during the warm-ups.  See how many circuits you can complete before the game starts.  Invite your teenager to join you for your walks or bike rides.  Maybe even make an afternoon of yard work a parent/teen activity.  Doing things together will encourage conversation and provide some valuable family time.  It will also show your child that you care enough about yourself that you choose to be active!

Is it hard to make the transition between Hockey Skates and powerslides?

I have been skating with inline rollerblades for 9 years. The ones I'm used to are the regular boot that comes up on your leg about 5 inches. The wheels are 80mm with an 85a softtness. I'm about to buy some powerslides with lowcut boots and 110mm wheels, same softness.

I've already taught myself how to double push on turns and going forward with these regular inlines, so do you think it'll be hard to start using powerslides?

Hardness of the wheels will be unimportant.

Powerslide is just one of many makers of inline racing skates. The big difference (assuming that you have reasonable skill and will be able to handle the large wheels) will be the lack of support by the racing boots.

I know people who have loosened all the cuff fastening buckles and laces to prepare for racing boots. Also know people who found that they could only skate for 15 - 30 minutes at first on the racing boots instead of hours on other skates. That went away as their ankle muscles became stronger and able to support them better.

A trick to try is to put your 80mm wheels on the frames first to get your ankles used to the short boot without the additional leverage of the 110mm wheels.
From what I have been hearing from my racing friends, 110mm may be too big for some people.

Glove

A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a type of garment (and more specifically a fashion accessory) which covers the hand of a human. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no covering sheath for each finger they are called "fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets. Gloves which cover the entire hand but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are almost always warmer than gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. As well, the reduced surface area means that there is less heat loss.
cross earring
There is also a hybrid of glove and mitten which contains open-ended sheaths for the four fingers (as in a fingerless glove, but not the thumb) and also an additional compartment encapsulating the four fingers as a mitten would. This compartment can be lifted off the fingers and folded back to allow the individual fingers ease of movement and access while the hand remains covered. The usual design is for the mitten cavity to be stitched onto the back of the fingerless glove only, allowing it to be flipped over (normally held back by Velcro or a button) to transform the garment from a mitten to a glove. Gloves can serve to protect and comfort the hands of the wearer against cold or heat, physical damage by friction, abrasion or chemicals, and disease; or in turn to provide a guard for what a bare hand should not touch. Latex, nitrile rubber or vinyl disposable gloves are often worn by health care professionals as hygiene and contamination protection measures. Police officers often wear them to work in crime scenes to prevent destroying evidence in the scene. Many criminals also wear these gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, which makes the crime investigation more difficult. Fingerless gloves are useful for bikers and where dexterity is required that gloves would restrict. These gloves are not particularly used in cold weather, as the exposed finger numbs. Cigarette smokers and church organists often use fingerless gloves. Some gloves include a gauntlet that extends partway up the arm. Cycling gloves for road racing or touring are usually fingerless. Gloves have been made of many materials including cloth, knitted or felted wool, leather, rubber, latex, neoprene, and metal (as in mail). Modern gloves made of kevlar protect the wearer from cuts. Gloves and gauntlets are also integral components of pressure suits and spacesuits such as the Apollo/Skylab A7L which went to the moon. Spacesuit gloves must combine extreme toughness and environmental protection with a degree of sensitivity and flexibility if the astronaut is to do any manual work. Today gloves are made around the world. Most expensive women's fashion gloves are still made in France, with some made in Canada. For cheaper male gloves New York State, especially Gloversville, New York is still a world centre of glove manufacturing. More and more glove manufacturing is being done in East Asia, however. Gloves appear to be of great antiquity. According to some translations of Homer's The Odyssey, La?rtes is described as wearing gloves while walking in his garden so as to avoid the brambles.[1] (Other translations, however, insist that Laertes pulled his long sleeves over his hands.) Herodotus, in The History of Herodotus (440 BC), tells how Leotychides was incriminated by a glove (gauntlet) full of silver that he received as a bribe.[2] Among the Romans also there are occasional references to the use of gloves. According to Pliny the Younger (ca. 100), his uncle's shorthand writer wore gloves during the winter so as not to impede the elder Pliny's work.[3] During the 13th century, gloves began to be worn by ladies as a fashion ornament.[1] They were made of linen and silk, and sometimes reached to the elbow.[1] Such worldly accoutrements were not for holy women, according to the early thirteenth-century Ancrene Wisse, written for their guidance.[4] Sumptuary laws were promulgated to restrain this vanity: against samite gloves in Bologna, 1294, against perfumed gloves in Rome, 1560. A Paris corporation or guild of glovers (gantiers) existed from the thirteenth century. They made them in skin or in fur. It was not until the 16th century that they reached their greatest elaboration, however, when Queen Elizabeth I set the fashion for wearing them richly embroidered and jeweled, and for putting them on and taking them off during audiences, to draw attention to her beautiful hands.[7] In Paris, the gantiers became gantiers parfumeurs, for the scented oils, musk, ambergris and civet, that perfumed leather gloves, but their trade, which was an introduction at the court of Catherine de' Medici,[8] was not specifically recognised until 1656, in a royal brevet. Makers of knitted gloves, which did not retain perfume and had less social cachet, were organised in a separate guild, of bonnetiers[9] who might knit silk as well as wool. Such workers were already organised in the fourteenth century. Knitted gloves were a refined handiwork that required five years of apprenticeship; defective work was subject to confiscation and burning. Embroidered and jeweled gloves also formed part of the insignia of emperors and kings. Thus Matthew of Paris, in recording the burial of Henry II of England in 1189, mentions that he was buried in his coronation robes with a golden crown on his head and gloves on his hands.[1] Gloves were also found on the hands of King John when his tomb was opened in 1797 and on those of King Edward I when his tomb was opened in 1774.[1] Pontifical gloves are liturgical ornaments used primarily by the pope, the cardinals, and bishops.[1] They may be worn only at the celebration of mass.[1] The liturgical use of gloves has not been traced beyond the beginning of the 10th century, and their introduction may have been due to a simple desire to keep the hands clean for the holy mysteries, but others suggest that they were adopted as part of the increasing pomp with which the Carolingian bishops were surrounding themselves.[1] From the Frankish kingdom the custom spread to Rome, where liturgical gloves are first heard of in the earlier half of the 11th century.[1] Latex gloves, ubiquitous in surgery and forensics, were developed by the Australian Ansell company. It is also widely believed that vanilla essence can preserve gardening gloves during winter (and spring) months. The fabrics include: rubber, cotton, wool and plastic. Fingerless gloves (or glovelettes) are garments worn on the hands which resemble regular gloves in most ways, except that the finger columns are half-length and opened, allowing the tops of the wearer's fingers to emerge through. Fingerless gloves are often padded in the palm area, to provide protection to the hand, and the exposed fingers do not interfere with sensation or gripping. In contrast to traditional gloves, often worn for warmth, fingerless gloves will often have a ventilated back to allow the hands to cool; this is commonly seen in weightlifting gloves. Fingerless gloves are also worn by bikers as a means to better grip the handlebars, as well as by skateboarders and rollerbladers, to protect the palms of the hands and add grip in the event of a fall. Some anglers, particularly fly fishermen, favor fingerless gloves to allow manipulation of line and tackle in cooler conditions. Fingerless gloves are usually leather and have a distinct appearance. Much like rocker jackets, they are sometimes worn by people who wish to display a certain sense of rebellion, recklessness, "toughness" or general disregard for the standards of society (such as John Bender in The Breakfast Club). This is why they are quite common in heavy metal and punk fashion and are sometimes decorated with metal studs or spikes. Some non-conformist individuals would wear a single glove on one hand leaving the other hand glove-less. A woolen variety became popular in the early 1980s, largely due to the example of English pop star Nik Kershaw. Fingerless gloves are also known as "hobo gloves", due to their association with homeless people.

What size should i get for rollerblades?

Hi. I want to know if i should get a size 7(UK) for my new Rollerblade Bladerunner Pro 78 Mens Inline Skates that I want to get. Please help because I don't know if I need a size smaller or bigger.

Only way to buy skates if there are no shops nearby to try them on.

Order online from inlinewarehouse or other store that has a liberal return policy. Order several sizes up front. Try them on for comparison and return what doesn't fit. DO NOT SKATE ON THEM. If you do, the wheels will show wear, and the will be un-returnable. Just stay on carpeted floors.

You want the skates to be as tight as possible around the ankle without causing pain after being on for at least ten minutes. If there is movement now, it will just get looser as time goes on. At that point moving up or down will cause blisters.

What is the name of the youtube video of aggressive inline skating shot in spain?

I remember watching a youtube video of aggressive inline skating, mostly bright and mostly shot in Spain. The song wasn't rap or rock but it was a woman singing in like a Spain-ish song, pretty loud music.

I can't seem to find it. Maybe someone from the community knows?

There are 3 different things you can do to try and find a
video that you have previously seen. Not only that, you
can make your results appear either: 1) in alphabetical
order, 2) in chronological order or 3) in photo thumbnail
form:

ALPHABETICALLY (tons of results):
highlight the URL address bar on top, then simply type
in the word "youtube". From those results, you will see:
-- every YouTube address you typed
-- every YouTube channel you visited
-- every YouTube video you watched
but it will be ugly YouTube code like "v=Ab1Cd2eF3Gh".

CHRONOLOGICALLY (many results):
simply click on your internet browser's "History" button
or tap "CTRL" and the letter "H" on your keyboard, and
you will get a daily list of every website which you have
visited. Every YouTube video will be mixed in with all of
the different websites, but it'll actually be easier for you
to find what you're looking for -- because everything will
be displayed in "plain" English. And because each and
every YouTube video is in fact its own website, you will
also be able to see the full title of each video.

PHOTO THUMBNAIL (few results):
at the top right of just about every YouTube page is the
name "QuickList". Click on that, and then after you are
on the new page, click on "History" immediately below
the highlighted grey bar. You will see thumbnails of the
most recent videos you have viewed, but only the most
recent. That is because every time that you open / exit
YouTube, everything vanishes, and starts all over again.

Believe it or not, you can see your YouTube "QuickList"
and "viewing history" from right here within Yahoo. Just
click on my links below, and they'll take you directly to
"YOUR VERY OWN" histories. (YouTube may first ask
you to 'sign in' with your username and your password):

http://www.youtube.com/my_history

http://www.youtube.com/my_quicklist

I hope that my multiple answer is a little helpful for you.

Visit the Leicester Ice Skating Rink for Fun

If you really want to have a great time, and have a true winter experience then visit Leicester for ice-skating. The Leicester On Ice skating rink is open to the public and the only day it is closed is on Christmas Day. However, if there is really bad weather, the rink being outdoors could be closed. People come to enjoy a safe and friendly atmosphere as they skate and for good reason; Leicester ice-skating is the best! There are even ice marshals on duty that are skating as well for assisting those who need them.

Another great idea the rink has to essentially offer is loyalty cards. These are cards that visitors can purchase and then have stamped each time he or she visits the rink. When the card is fully stamped you get a skating session free. That’s 45 minutes of skating enjoyment that cost absolutely nothing. Different sessions are available from toddlers to the silver skaters; In essence everyone has been taken into consideration to have a really great time.

For those who want to visit the Leicester Ice Skating rink for fun but get a bit tired and want to rest or a chill the Leicester On Ice has the Ice Café available for warm beverages and snacks too. People can watch others skate from the café and also have a great time here.

With a convenient location near great shopping the Leicester On Ice is just waiting for anyone who wants to skate. Those at the rink feel that if you can stand, you can also skate. There are even skates with straps for attaching to small children’s shoes so they can skate! Although children that is 12 and under must be supervised by an adult the adult does not necessarily have to skate in order for a child or youth to have a skating session.

Christmas Traditions in Australia

Snow shimmers outdoors and troops of kids with their lanterns alight could be listened to singing Christmas Carols as they hopped on from every in replacement for chocolates and sweets that residents would toss out their window. That's when the crazy jumble began trying to look for sweets in quite a few feet of snow.

I occasionally long for those magical, mystic years and muse over particularly when I pay attention to Bing Crosby's ever famous song "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas".

Our way of paying off for the need of cold weather in December is through celebrating Christmas in July with all the added extras as well as weather close to that of the northern hemisphere.

Many of us still write cards in Australia with snow and icy views, pictures of cute reindeers, and people ice-skating on frozen lakes. Not only would Santa thaw out from the heat wearing his red winter woolies, his reindeer would die of heat fatigue working in such roasting heat!

There are no reindeers and sleighs in Australia - we only have 'six white boomers' or large kangaroos thanks to the song by Rolf Harris way back from the '60's. I've seen our Santa dragging a surfboard covered in sunscreen, board shorts and a hat, punching through the southern skies.

A far cry from the intoxicated Santa I recall on board at the back of a ute - utility vehicle - in the country several years ago. Last seen guzzling on a long neck - tall bottle of beer - trying to express the traditional "ho ho ho a Merry Christmas to all" as the ute leisurely herd down each street in the local neighborhood.

Christmas lunch here in this wonderful southern soil is a diverse experience. As Christmas Day arrives the temperature persists to grow so does the clamminess here in Brisbane. You'll recognize Christmas is here when you begin to hear the incessant shrilling sounds of cicadas - big winged insect - on hot and cloudless days.

I know a lot of people still insist on roasting the turkey, as well as roasting veggies and gravy in the boiling heat, as well as baking fruitcake and custard for dessert. Not everybody owns an air conditioning here so a chilly breeze is frequently on top of the wish list.

So what is a customary Christmas meal down here?

1. Prawns for the barbecue - on ice and with lemon wedges;

2. Fresh newly-arrived fish from the market

3. Tossed green salad which means a bowl of beetroot with onions, and some asparagus

4. Snags or sausages, lamb chops

With lunch finished, we look onward to our the wonderful custom of spending Boxing Day watching the start games on television or spending the day dozing off at home or swimming down the beach.

Having been outdoors once today, I'm very conscious of how scorching and clammy it is and actually it's not going to get cooler any time before long. So as I take a seat here staring at the cloudless sky and composing this article, and certainly "Dreaming of a white Christmas".
