Luckily, all you need for a great afternoon of summer fun is a hill, some water, and about 150 feet of plastic tarp to build an awesome slip n’ slide. Here are 10 Awesome Slip n’ Slide videos to show you how it’s done, and sometimes how it’s not done.

Texas Middle School Pulls Off Unthinkable Trick Play (Video)
From: http://www.totalprosports.com/
The game of football has provided some amazing trick plays at all levels, from Pee Wee to the pros, and this one pulled off by Driscoll Middle School in Corpus Christi, Texas is certainly among the best of them.
Looking to catch their opposition off guard, the center snaps the ball over his should in a rather unorthodox manner. With the defenders looking on as if the play hadn't begun, Driscoll's quarterback steps through the line before unexpectedly speeding off for the end zone.
This play may have you asking yourself, "Can they even do that?" According to the NFL rules, they can!
According to Rule 7, Section 3, Article 3:
The snap (3-32) may be made by any offensive player who is on the line but must conform to the following provisions:
(a) The snap must start with ball on ground with its long axis horizontal and at right angles to line, and
(b) The impulse must be given by one quick and continuous motion of hand or hands of snapper. The ball must actually leave or be taken from his hands during this motion.
(c) The snapper may not:
(1) move his feet abruptly from the start of snap until the ball has left his hands;
(2) have quick plays after the neutral zone starts if the officials have not had a reasonable time to assume their normal stances.
The snapper clearly snaps the ball in one smooth continuous motion over his shoulder, making it a legal snap, and one of the most spectacular touchdowns you may ever see.

No, go on, tell me more about how young that Bieber kid is. If you don't mind, I'm just gonna play this clip while you're talking.
Mmmm, mmmm, "You can be my study buddy, you can teach me social studies..."

How Do I Win Rock Paper Scissors Every Time?
From: http://www.chacha.com/
How Do I Win Rock, Paper, Scissors Every Time?
How can I win at Rock, Paper Scissors?
Have you ever gotten tired of being crushed by Rock, cut to shreds by Scissors, or smothered by Paper? Do you ever feel like you are fighting in a game of chance which fate developed to mock you? Well, here is some great news. The graphic above has information compiled about Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS) from the World RPS Society, the masters of Rock, Paper, Scissors, to help you overcome your opponents and understand the strategies needed to win Rock, Paper, Scissors every time.
What are some RPS game winning strategies?
As its name implies, Rock, Paper, Scissors, like a really limited periodic table, involves three elements. Each one of these elements has a winning, losing, and tying combination against an opponent. On paper, this sounds like there is only ever a 1/3 chance of winning with each throw. But introduce a little human psychology into your game, and you have an edge and a game plan for winning.
Where and when did RPS begin?
Forms of RPS can be found all over the world today, but the earliest known version of the game dates all the way back to the 1700s in Japan. The Japanese played a game called Jan-Ken-Pon, their version of RPS. This means the Japanese have been playing RPS longer than anyone else in the world. Maybe this is why Paper resembles a karate chop.
Today the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is an officially sanctioned sport with its own international body of competitors. The World RPS Society hosts annually the RPS World Championship. Yes, there is prize money for winning RPS. You never bought into that whole ‘bragging rights’ thing that much, right?
How do I play RPS against a dude?
Males tend to come out aggressive with Rock on their first throw. Turn the odds in your favor with Paper.
What if my opponent is a pro at RPS?
Expect experienced players to throw Paper when they play against a newcomer. Showing Scissors should put him in his place.
Is there a trick to beating a newbie at RPS?
Because of their lack of mental stamina, when inexperienced players lose they tend to copycat the last winning throw. Crush them with its opposite.
In RPS, what should I do if my opponent throws two rocks in a row?
More than likely your opponent has noticed this trend too and will change his pattern. But this only leaves him the options of Paper or Scissors. Countering with Rock should do the job.
How can I predict my opponent’s next move in RPS?
Just like in the game of Poker, people will give away their next move subconsciously. Watch your opponent’s hands before you throw. Are all his fingers tense? That means he is thinking of throwing Rock. Throw Paper to win. Is your opponent’s hand relaxed with all the fingers loose? That is an indication that he is readying Paper. Give him Scissors. If just two fingers are loose or tight, Scissors is the diagnosis and Rock is the remedy.
Are there any stats that can help me win at RPS?
For the math-stats geek, or those who like to play the odds, paper is thrown the least often at 29.6% of the time. Rock and Scissors are thrown the most often, at 35.4% and 35%, respectively. When there is need for a changeup, use Paper as an unexpected option to surprise your opponent.
What can I learn by watching my opponent play others?
If you get the opportunity, do not shy away from watching your future opponents play others. Pay attention to the details. Do they give away any throwing tendencies? Does their play style or attitude suggest a pattern to their play? Observe, analyze, and counter accordingly!
I am getting smashed in RPS; are there any tricks I can pull?
As a last resort when all else is lost, you can always attempt to pull a fast-one on your opponent. Giving him the ‘Spock gesture’ is unexpected, highly illegal, but also impossible to counter.

The Best 5 Year Old Baseball Player … EVER!
Ariel Antigua is The Best Five Year Old Baseball Player Ever!
Wow, this kid is a stud.
Five year old Ariel Antigua from Lyndhurst, NJ is a do-it-all middle IF who is already hitting 85 MPH fastballs in the cage. A slick fielding potential shortstop, Antigua is on his way to something special and everyone around him knows it, just watch how people talk about him.
I do not know what I like most about him, yet. Perhaps his ability to go the other way so well as a five year old, or his slick fielding abilities. Either way, I love him.

David K. Israel 10 Unusual Playgrounds From Around the World
Playgrounds have come a long way since the early days of hot, steel slides and open-backed infant swings. Safety is a big issue on today’s playgrounds, but so is imagination and ingenuity. Take a look at some of the many unusually cool designs popping up around the world. And if you have a favorite we left off the list (which could easily have been twice as long), be sure to tell us about it in the comments.
1. Nishi-Rokugo – Tokyo, Japan
In Japanese, Nishi-Rokugo means Tire Park. The Kawasaki plants are located not far away, so it’s possible they donated the 3,000 tires that make up the dinosaurs, monsters, bridges, slides, swings, and all the loose ones there for kids to stack and hop on. But this sand-bottom park is hardly just for kids. Parents can haul tires up specially designed tire steps and tube down wide concrete slides. I can imagine it’s the type of place you can spend hours at before you, er, tire, of it.
2. The Fruit and Scent Playground –Liljeholmen, Sweden
A banana slide, strawberry spinners, a pair of cherry swings, an orange see-saw and a watermelon jungle gym are all part of this unusual, small park in the south of Stockholm. It’s a great theme because it also teaches kids the importance of fruit over junk food. Reports coming out of the country indicate that the outdoors-loving Swede is on the way out. According to a study by Karolinska university hospital, obesity among seven year olds in Stockholm has increased from 8.5% to 21% over the last fifteen years. What could be better than exercising in fruit as an antidote?
