Answer
Choosing a water trampoline or water bouncer for summer fun can be confusing as there are a lot of options out there. Choosing the perfect fit for you and your family is all about being informed on the different types of water trampolines, water bouncers and various accessories. This guide will help you find the right product for you and your needs.

Water Bouncers

Water bouncers are often mistaken for their more expensive counterpart, water trampolines. The jumping surface of a water bouncer is connected directly to the floatation part of the bouncer instead of being connected by springs thus giving it a smaller bounce. They are typically smaller than water trampolines making them easier to store and easier to set up because they require no assembly.

Connection

* Jumping surface is connected to the floatation tube, typically by interlocking nylon webbing.
* Jumping service of bouncers is NOT connected by springs.

Assembly

* Does not require assembly, only inflation.
* Inflate and anchor before enjoying.
* Anchor should be a simple D-ring anchor or any weight over 20 pounds should suffice.
* Anchor in over six feet of water to avoid injuries.

Pricing

* Bouncers usually range in size from 10 to 15 feet in diameter.
* Bouncers are generally less expensive than water trampolines and are typically under $1,000.

Water Trampolines

Inflatable water trampolines differ from water bouncers due to the fact that they can hold heavier weight loads and tend to allow to higher jumps. The added support and higher jumps are a result of the framed jump surface that is connected by springs to a frame, which is then connected to the inflation tube.

Connection

* Jumping surface of a water trampoline is connected to the frame by springs.
* Provides significantly greater weight support and higher jumping heights.

Assembly

* Some assembly required.
* Frame and jumping surface must be assembled and attached to the floatation tube once inflated.
* Anchor needs to be at least 60 pounds and should be anchored in a place without water currents.

Pricing

* It is easy to find water trampolines priced under $1,000 but they can be over $1,000 also.
* Can be as large as 25â² in diameter and as small as 11â² in diameter.
* Typically are more expensive than water bouncers.

Styles

* Rectangular trampolines are offered that range in sizes and can be up to 25 feet in length.
* Rectangular trampolines tend to be more expensive and hold tension better because of their shape.
* Circular trampolines tend to be less expensive and do not hold tension as well but they do have a sweet spot in the middle of the mat because of the tension distribution.

Safety

Safety is one of the main concerns of many people who purchase water trampolines. Children under 6 years old should not be allowed on water trampolines and children over 6 should be supervised by an adult. Life vests should be worn at all times while enjoying your water trampoline. Also, be sure to read all directions carefully and set up your water trampoline and accessories accordingly to ensure maximum safety and fun!

For parkour and free-running I want to learn a back flip or forward flip should I practice on sand?

trampoline water damage image

kezza

I don't have a trampoline, pool or matress I could use to practice so I was thinking I might practice on sand because it is a softer surface than grass. Or do y'all think it is suicide? Oh and I mean jumping from concrete onto sand. Thanks.

Answer
can't you start of practising into a swimming pool? Once your feet are hitting the water first you know you can move on to sand.

Wear a bike helmet too! I know it's not cool but it's cooler than brain damage!

What else should i do to my room?

alexis.[:

Okay, well I'm turning 13 in a few months and going to 8th grade pretty soon. My room isn't big nor is it small. Right now, i have a full size bed and getting a mini trampoline in a few days. Of course i have regular stuff in my room like, a dresser, 20 inch TV, chair, rug, etc. But what are somethings i could do to make my room look really cool. I already have signs and posters hanging up. Like, what are some things that you can't just find in a regular store like walmart that i can add to my room?

Answer
Decoate one wall entirely with cork tiles and paint it all in a really bold colour. Then paint a scene onto it, for example, clouds and stars...then you have a giant pinbooard where you can pin anything with damaging your walls, and no-one else has one like it!

Use unusal objects to create shelves...an old skateboard or painted driftwood....anything flat!!

Collect differrent and interesting shaped bottles and fill them up with water and lots of differenet food colourings. Put them on diplay...somewhere they won't get knocked over.

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business?

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business

Answer
Bouncy castle and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly used by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle courses, games, and more. Inflatables are ideal for portable amusements because they are easy to transport and store. The name given to such structures varies.


They have been marketed with such names as bounce house, Moon Bounce, Astrojump, Moonwalk, Jolly Jump and Spacewalk. The term "Bounce House" came to popularity with the resurgence of hipster culture in New England. "Pula pula" is another name commonly used by Latinos, which literally means "jump jump". The term 'Jolly Jumps' is often used to describe the inflatable playground structure in rural areas and some areas in the Western US, but the term is otherwise obsolete.

Although they are often aimed at children, adult castles can be hired in the many countries,like UK,US,China,Europe and so on. Because of liability concerns, moonwalks are rarely rented to adults in the US. Historically, names for inflatable structures, particularly in the United States, are composed of two, one syllable words. In the United States the terms that consist of two, one syllable words are popular. In Southern California, another popular term is Closed Inflatable Trampolines, or "CITs". Bouncy Castle or Inflatable Castle are used in Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, and Jumping Castles in Arizona, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

As a whole the term moon bounce has become a generic term for enclosed inflatable trampolines worldwide. Following the popular of inflatables, more and more countries start a rental business,and the kinds of inflatables more and more day by day. Except bouncy castle, also water slide,inflatable tent, giant inflatables,bounce house for children. Many buyer found that usually people are willing buy one or two pieces of bouncy castle or water slide for their children.So not only to rental inflatble, some big imported especial import some small size family using inflatables.

Actually that brings big profit to importer, becuase inflatable field is few in their country and the cose is very expensive in Europe and America,Australia. Also some advertising company will order the big inflatable tent for sport, like tennis,basketball,football,badmin and so on. In winter many countries will snow, it will effect outdoor sports, but many youngers like outdoor sport in winter. Based on this,some smart merchant found that and place order about tent. One of my clients even order an big size of 30*60*15m for 600 people.At present his business is very good.

Jobs for 13 year olds in North Carolina?

water trampolines for sale image

Number 8

Hi, I'm 13 and in NC, I really really want a job.
I am trying to get some extra money to spend at disney when we go in a few months.
are there any types of jobs I can do?
Besides babysitting and mowing lawns, where I live there aren't a whole lot of people or lawns to mow.

Do I have to be 14 years old to get a job? or could I get something like bagging groceries for tips or anything like that?

Answer
Some ideas for you:
Shovel snow off driveways, porches, mailboxes, trampolines, off stuff in the yard like dog houses, boats, etc.
Dig up gardens so they can be planted.
Walk dogs.
Fill in for a newspaper delivery person who is on vacation.
Water plants for people who are out of town.
Baking cookies or cinnamon rolls for people. Take orders and then deliver them.
Or ask a store that does not sell food, (or some other event) if you can have a bake sale table.
Or sell food to friends after school. Everybody is always hungry then.
Help mothers clean house or do laundry.
Tutor kids in reading or math.
Help mothers put on birthday parties.
Organize a movie day, with food, where parents can pay you to watch their kids on days that school has been canceled, but parents still have to work.
Ask everyone you know if they have any "odd jobs" you can do for them. They may not be able to give you a "real" job, but they may be able to find wood that needs to be moved, parking lots that should be swept, windows to wash, gardens to clean out before being planted, etc.
Take a look around and see what kinds of things people don't like to do (the jobs that they usually put off for last), what kinds of things they don't have time to do, and offer to be hired to do them.
See what people are spending their money on, and see if there is a way that you can provide some of that product or service.
Good Luck and have fun!

Did you buy your pet dog from a Breeder, or Pet Store, or animal shelter, or neighbor had puppies?

CAMILLE

How much did you pay for your dog ? What kind of dog and his/her name?

Answer
Bought our dog from none of the above. It took quite a bit of doing to get our dog. First off, we live in kind of a wooded subdivision and there used to be dogs running loose, and I'm sure that SOME of those dogs were shot.

I started with a bulldozer and graded our backyard; then I told my son we needed grass, so I bought a power seeder and we planted, fertilized and watered to get a lawn. Then I put up a fence, and the day the fence was complete I told my son he should try to find a dog.

We went to a local Pets-R-Us store and he found a dog he liked, but we had to fill out a written application for how we would TREAT the dog, and I guess they either didn't like the fact that we already had a cat or that we wrote that the dog's home would generally be the backyard, not the house....Whatever we said, we failed to meet their criteria, because they never called us.

A few days later, I picked up a newspaper and told my son to look under pets and find a dog. By now, we were praying sincerely to find a dog. My son had a beautiful fenced in yard with grass and trampoline and trees to climb and a swingset, but no dog. He called these people who had "American Eskimo" puppies for sale. My son seemed excited and wanted me on the phone. I got on the phone and asked the man "what is the breed known for?" He responded "Nothing. They are just lovable little furballs."

We drove over to their house and met them and David picked a puppy. We gave them $50 down, I don't remember if the dog was $350 or $450, but he has become priceless. I told my son he should try to find an Eskimo name for his Eskimo dog, and he went online somewhere to the University of Alaska or someplace where they have a drop-down Inoupia (Eskimo) dictionary. (I'm probably murdering the spelling, but anyway, the Eskimo name he found was "Ixa" meaning "friend" in Eskimo language.

This dog has been perfect for my kids. He DOESN'T bark needlessly, but NO ONE can walk down the street without him yapping. He is rather smaill, about 25 pounds, but HE doesn't know that; he is totally fearless and will bark ferociously at dogs 4 times his size. He is VERY protective of my kids, but gentle and loving TO them. He is pure white, unfortunately longhaired, and an absolute chick magnet.

EVERY time my son walks him, all the girls (regardless of age) just ooohhh and ahhh over him, which is kind of funny, because he doesn't really LIKE girls nearly as well as he enjoys boys company.

His one drawback is his HAIR. He sleeps in a kennel in the kitchen, but sometimes when the sun shines in the living room, you can see his hair floating in THERE. My poor wife vaccuums frequently under the kitchen table, but it usually looks like pigs live here because the dog is SUCH a fur factory. He IS a perfect watchdog, because he WILL bark and get my attention, and I'll address any threat (I am most certainly lawfully armed in my own home).

If your the average teen- what do you or did you do in in your spare time during the summer? What were your?

inflatable trampoline for water image

Igbo Naija

- days like? Were they boring or exciting? Did you travel anywhere? Do anything fun like movies, bday party etc? What about your nights? Did you stay up and how long?

Answer
I would call myself the average teen. I had a pretty good summer - I tried to make the most of my days. The highlight of my summer so far was a summer camp I went to for a week (going back next year for longer!). I also went away to a really intense sports camp for 4 nights. I wouldn't call that fun exactly, but it was different and I met some really cool people and improved my game more than I could have ever hoped to. I went to a zipline/rope course park about 4 hours away which was also very exciting and fun! I'd definitely recommend it! Last week I went to a water ziplining/cliff jumping park with a bunch of awesome things to do (too bad it was poorly organized and crowded... not a good combination) including inflatable trampolines, rope swinging into the water, and super fast water slides releasing you 10 feet off the water. I started kind of having friend troubles with 2 of my friends midway through the summer which kind of resulted in a mini depression, but I still tried to do as many fun things as I could. I stayed up between 11 and 12 most nights. The thing about summer is that during the school year every aspect of summer is idealized. Your expectations for the upcoming summer get unrealistically high, and then a lot of people are disappointed.

what toys do you think are a great investment?

Sexy Ma

what toys do you think are a great investment? I have a 12 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son and they use the trampoline EVERYDAY! I also, have a motorcycle power wheels and my daughter will ride on it with him(we have a jeep power wheels but my daughter can't fit into that one comfortably) and a 9 ft. inflatable water slide..Both my kids have sooooo much fun on it!

Answer
I hate to spend money on big expensive toys...Mostly because kids get bored quickly and most toys break or the kids lose pieces really quickly!

I like toys like play-doh, cheap fun and easy to replace.

Our biggest investment was a play kitchen with food and pots and pans. We also built a sandbox, but sand toys are really cheap.

Our favorite toys:
Play-doh
Washable water colors
Wooden blocks
Crayons (Washable)
Books
Wooden puzzles
Hot wheels cars
Army guys
Bubbles (which you can make yourself)
Etc.

does anyone know where you can get a preowned water trampoline maybe be able to finance it?

Jamie F

Answer
go to a yard sale...you don't even have to finance it. Next best choice is a catalogue...they aren't that expensive in there either. If they are, dont buy it, they'll bust. Ever tried being imaginative on the idea......you may come up with something better than what is on the market.......watch viva la bam......it'll give you ideas.

Can you buy just the boarding platform for the sportsstuff funstation?

water trampoline buy image

Sarah

Its a water trampoline and the boarding platform has sprung a leak so we can't get on it and I want to know if we can buy just the platform

Answer
Contact the manufacturer not Yahoo!Answers. They or their dealers will have run across the same problem, not a bunch of strangers on line. If not figure out how to patch the leak. RTV or an inner tube patch kit can do wonders. The problem is that you don't give enough information about the construction or the leak.

I would also point you to a couple of reviews for these products. They're junk, and if you take it out of the water at the end of the summer chances are that's the last time you'll use it. Have you thought about tying another small raft to the trampoline and using that as the platform?

Good luck with your repairs...

What can I buy my aunt for Christmas?

Kristina

I need to stay under $50. She works at a salon so I cannot buy her anything like that. She loves computers, farmville, and candles. Your suggestions do not have to stay within that; I was just throwing it out there.

I'll travel to Tunisia next month...19/8 to be specific! Any clues about to do there?

NaNNou

Hi, I'm gonna go to tunisia next month, and I am gonna go alone, I've never actually travelled alone and I've never been to Tunisia before. So, I'd really appreciate it if someone who lives there or has been there would tell me about the things I could do there. The most important thing to me is SHOPPING (as any other girl :) ...... so, I'd even appreciate it muchhhh more if you tell me about the names of malls there were shopping could go on endlessly...thx in advance, and 10 points for the best answer ;)
I'll go to tunis and sousse

thx alooot!

Answer
First off, Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.

PORT EL KANTAOUI a tourist complex 10 kilometers north of Sousse. It is a modern marina for over 300 boats & several golf courses, as well & a full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing.

AQUA PALACE. There is a new water has many different types of water rides and fun things to enjoy. There are green spaces, beaches, pizzerias, a restaurant, a buffet restaurant, coffee, bars, solarium, shady spots, a children's paddling area with water games, and a relaxing jacuzzi on top of all the exciting rides.

HANNIBAL PARK. It's an amusement park that has a famous roller coaster and has many souvenir shops. Fairground rides set in a fairy tale landscaped park including a merry go-round, trampolines, walk ways, bouncy castle and swings.

HERGLA KARTING PARK. It is another amusement park and offers lots of fun. There is one ride on there that is extremely fun, but not for the faint of heart! I've been on it - it takes you high in the air, and turns you every which way, and even stops and let you dangle for a bit. It also has a mini zoo down by the race tracks.

OASIS PARC BOTANIQUE. A botanic park with over 25,00 aromatic and medicinal plants and birds including ostriches, parrots and various rare chickens, and a bird style circus with clowns and magicians.

FRIGUIA SAFARI PARK. The Park runs a breeding program for threatened species and you can take a drive to see the lions, giraffes and elephants and various other African wildlife that now live there.

GREAT MOSQUE. It is a surprisingly tranquil place despite its location in the middle of the city. Built around 850 AD, the mosque is simple and done in the Aghlabite style; no decoration whatsoever aside from a string of angular Arabic and curved arches. Even the prayer room is covered in reed mats instead of the usual carpet. You must be properly dressed to enter, but green wraps can be rented for a token fee to cover up.

MOSAIC MUSEUM. Located in the gently crumbling old kasbah on the edge of the medina. It has what is clearly Tunisia's second most important collection of mosaics; second only to the Bardo museum in Tunis. The exhibits are dominated by mosaics, but there are many other objects too, like vases, masks, statues and whole burial tombs. The epoch covered here is mainly Roman Tunisia, which are the centuries around year 0. To this period also belong objects from Christian catacombs in the Sousse region. Just look out for objects and mosaics with the 'XP' symbol. Another great attraction are found with the mosaics showing scenes from amphitheaters.

THE TRADITIONAL TUNISIAN HOUSE. This charming little museum is located within the old city walls some 200 yards north of the main bus terminal is the home of a long standing Tunisian family that has now become a museum with the passing of the last family member. The property centers on a open courtyard from which access to all the rooms can be gained, including bedrooms for the first and second wife and, in turn, to the children's rooms. All are delightfully fully furnished, with some curtains dating back 200 years, and with German clocks imported from the 1800's. The house is complete with a tower, originally used to watch the stars for the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained.

CATACOMBS. Many believe that catacombs were built as hiding areas for Christians during time of persecution under the Romans. And even more are unaware of Tunisia's past as a Christian country.The catacombs were not shelters for the living, but rather for the dead. The tunnels originally stretched for more than 5 km, and contains 15,000 graves. The area open to visitors, has only about 100 metres of tunnels, but you can see through iron gates into continuing tunnels.

Sousse also has great nightlife with many restaurants, discos (both in and out of hotels - there's a pretty good outdoor disco called Bora Bora), cafés, casino, and plenty of shopping! Two of the biggest shopping center are Tej Marhaba and Slim Center, and they are very close together. There is also plenty of shopping along the corniche in central Sousse. The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea - perfect for swimming. You can also take carriage rides throughout the city which is always a fun way to sight-see!

In Tunis:

THE BARDO MUSEUM. 4 km/2.5mi west of Tunis is the suburb of Le Bardo, famed for the Bardo National Museum, which has the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics and other antiquities of interest from Ancient Greece, Carthage and from the Arab period, and it ranks with the Egyptian Museum in Cairo as one of the two great museums of North Africa.

CARTHAGE. It is the famed capitol of the ancient world and is located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis across from the center of modern Tunis. Now there is a museum there where you can view the ruins and ancient artifacts.

SIDI BOU SAID. The town is a tourist attraction because it is known for the extensive use of blue and white colors (the traditional colors of Tunisia) all over the town. All kinds of souvenirs can be bought in the main street. There is the traditional High Coffee there which is worth a look. My favorite is a coffee that overlooks the marina. It has fantastic views and a wonderful ambiance.

THE MEDINA. Just going there you can feel the history come to life. The streets are buzzing with shoppers and sellers. The medina itself contains around 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains dating from the Almohads and the Hafsids periods.

DAR BEN ABDALLAH. A small but interesting museum within an 18th-century palace in the medina, covering the everyday life of a rich merchant in the Ottoman era.

ZITOUNA MOSQUE. The largest mosque in Tunisia. This Aghlabite mosque dates back to the 9th century. Modest dress is essential, and non-Muslims can only enter the courtyard, not the mosque itself.

PORT DE FRANCE. It is comprised of architecture and decoration from many different styles and periods and is believed to stand on the remains of a Roman theater as well as the tenth century palace of Ziadib-Allah II al Aghlab.

CATHEDRAL OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL. It is located in downtown Tunis. It is a grand church situated in between shops and coffees.

DOWNTOWN TUNIS ITSELF. Here you can see the French influence on Tunisia as many of these old buildings are built in French style. It also is home to a beautiful giant clock tower that is illuminated at night.

LA MARSA. It is a coastal town not far from Tunis. It is a popular vacation spot for many middle class Tunisians, being one of the only accessible beaches in the capitol.

BIZERTE. I know it's not in

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business

Answer
Bouncy castle and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly used by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle courses, games, and more. Inflatables are ideal for portable amusements because they are easy to transport and store. The name given to such structures varies.


They have been marketed with such names as bounce house, Moon Bounce, Astrojump, Moonwalk, Jolly Jump and Spacewalk. The term "Bounce House" came to popularity with the resurgence of hipster culture in New England. "Pula pula" is another name commonly used by Latinos, which literally means "jump jump". The term 'Jolly Jumps' is often used to describe the inflatable playground structure in rural areas and some areas in the Western US, but the term is otherwise obsolete.

Although they are often aimed at children, adult castles can be hired in the many countries,like UK,US,China,Europe and so on. Because of liability concerns, moonwalks are rarely rented to adults in the US. Historically, names for inflatable structures, particularly in the United States, are composed of two, one syllable words. In the United States the terms that consist of two, one syllable words are popular. In Southern California, another popular term is Closed Inflatable Trampolines, or "CITs". Bouncy Castle or Inflatable Castle are used in Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, and Jumping Castles in Arizona, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

As a whole the term moon bounce has become a generic term for enclosed inflatable trampolines worldwide. Following the popular of inflatables, more and more countries start a rental business,and the kinds of inflatables more and more day by day. Except bouncy castle, also water slide,inflatable tent, giant inflatables,bounce house for children. Many buyer found that usually people are willing buy one or two pieces of bouncy castle or water slide for their children.So not only to rental inflatble, some big imported especial import some small size family using inflatables.

Actually that brings big profit to importer, becuase inflatable field is few in their country and the cose is very expensive in Europe and America,Australia. Also some advertising company will order the big inflatable tent for sport, like tennis,basketball,football,badmin and so on. In winter many countries will snow, it will effect outdoor sports, but many youngers like outdoor sport in winter. Based on this,some smart merchant found that and place order about tent. One of my clients even order an big size of 30*60*15m for 600 people.At present his business is very good.

Dance Party: This is by far the most popular party theme. It's the most popular for a reason, if you find the right entertainment it can be the most fun of all the different party types. Think about your school dances, many schools only have two per year of which you may only be allowed to attend one! But everywhere you look you see other people having dances on TV or in movies. Dances allow you to throw your own party just like an adult where you can have a blast with all of your closest friends. If you find a DJ who specializes in sweet sixteen's with lights, games and contests you (or your parents) don't have to worry about anything except showing up, picking out the right music and having a blast with all of your friends! The right DJ should make sure everyone is involved and keep the party going all night.


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

3.Outdoor Movie Party: Having your party outdoors can be awesome for you and your friends to take in the great summer weather and watch a movie together. You can rent all the equipment you need to have a massive screen in your backyard or by the pool so you can all watch a movie together or make a movie night out of it. Having games and party favors within the theme can help turn it into an awesome party.


4.Pool Party: Pools are a great way for your friends to relax and hang out in the pool. Hiring a DJ to keep the music going and to incorporate the pool into the evening with contests and games can be a really great party during the summer. You can setup a giant inflatable movie screen next to the pool to show the movies on, or have a volleyball net or basketball hoop if you don't already have one for the pool.


5.Roller Skating/Ice Skating Party: Having an activity to focus on throughout the night is important if you don't like being the center of attention the whole night. It makes it easy for everyone to have a great time from your really outgoing guests, to friends who need a little help getting into the party. Having a roller or ice skating party can be a great theme option. Many rinks have a lot of creative ways to enhance your party. Having a local band or a DJ can also be a great way to kick up a party to the next level.


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


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

I need interesting fact and details about puerto rico?

water trampolines usa image

Ian M

Its for a school project

Answer
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 1,000 mi east-southeast of Miami, Fla. A possession of the United States, it consists of the island of Puerto Rico plus the adjacent islets of Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. Puerto Rico has a mountainous, tropical ecosystem with very little flat land and few mineral resources.
US citizens do not require Passports and Visas to travel in or out of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is part of the USA. The currency used in Puerto Rico is the US dollar. Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking nation. Due to our close ties with the USA, most people speak some English and many are fluent.

Old San Juan The walls and fortifications of Old San Juan are still standing and are part of the heritage left by Spain to Puerto Rico. Today the cobblestone streets, interior patios, hanging balconies, plazas, and chapels make of this historic city a charming and picturesque place to visit.
The Spanish used then to protect the transportation of gold, silver and jewels, on its route from America to Spain, the Spaniards built a series of forts in the Caribbean. The beautiful city of San Juan founded in 1521. A massive wall and forts were built around the city to protect it from the enemy. The city was used as a stopover for ships that came from Spain and a stronghold to prevent the enemy from taking control of the island and making Puerto Rico an enemy base.

Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Mexican cuisine, it is a unique tasty blend of Spanish, African, Taíno, and American influences, using such indigenous seasonings and ingredients as coriander, papaya, cacao, nispero, apio, plantains, and yampee. Locals call their cuisine "cocina criolla".

beaches At the shoreline, there are all types of activities to enjoy. Watercraft sports such as kayaks, catamarans, and water-skimming tricycles, moored in shallow waters is a trampoline and there is fishing for marlin and snapper. Those who want to venture farther out hop on a boat to reach some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Caribbean. A mask and fins are all you will need to explore the reef at Gilligan's Island, five minutes away by ferry. After dark is one of Puerto Rico's most exciting light shows

National park
El Yunque, Puerto Rico's rain forest is necessary to see. It spreads out over a mountain, so if you walk uphill from the road you are in a cool rain forest. At any altitude, you will see numerous varieties of plant and animal life. If you are lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the endangered Puerto Rican parrot & hear the song of the local Coqui tree frog. There are tons of hiking trails and the Yokahu tower is a great spot to see the forest from above the trees. Two trails lead you straight down to La Mina waterfalls. You can swim at the bottom of the falls in the cold refreshing water

What are some ways you can propel yourself skyward for a short amount of time?

water trampolines to buy image

sear_squid

What I mean by that is, is there a way I can make/buy something (other than a jet-pack and yes they do exist) that can propel me about ten feet into the air and let me descend safely?
Thats not funny.

Answer
Most of these are not quite up to 10 feet, but you can try to stretch them. I have to leave the safe descent up to you.

Using a variation of a slingshot: like a trampoline or pogostick

Using an arrangement of a BIG lever, like someone jumping on the other side of a seesaw.

Using the power of propellants: being shot out of a cannon, or sitting on a rocket chair

Using the buoyancy of light gases, like a hot air balloon, to lift you up.

Using hydraulic pressure: jumping onto a powerful water-jet or fountain.

Using air pressure: stepping into a powerful vertical wind current.

Using momentum: like using a skateboard or bicycle with a ramp.

Using aerodynamics: a large kite with a strong cord - you can really get a strong lift, but this is best done over water.

Lastly, there is the very reliable and handy use of your legs: you can jump, or use a pole to pole-vault!

What are good ways to lose weight on your thighs & legs?

Cheerleade

for example: rollerskating, running, riding your bike, Trampoline?
i also want to know if a trampoline helps because i go on like every day for 45minutes. Do u think that could help me lose weight on my thighs/legs?

Answer
You cannot lose weight in just one or two body areas. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Really good 13th birhtday party ideas...?

water trampoline hawaii image

Godsmyway1

ok i am turning thierteen in april..but i need party ideas...please please heklps..i want to invite the whole 7th grade which is 25 people...my house has a pool trampoline tennis/basketball court..and i live ont eh buig island of hawaii...so please please please help!!! omg thanks

Answer
Have it at home. That's what I did. I invited lots of people to my flat when I celebrated my 13th birthday in April this year. Here 10 things that I've done in the past for my birthday parties, and they've all been at home:

01. HAVE A SLEEPOVER: I had one and it was so fun. I had people stay overnight and we played brandy in the dark with a glow-in-the-dark ball. So cool (I accidentally hit my friend in the nuts so be careful). And if you do follow my suggestion, make sure your parents don't wake up!

02. PLAY SODA SHAKE: Soda shake is the funnest game ever! If you don't know what it is, Soda Shake is where all of your friends gather in a circle and you get a bottle of any soft drink (preferrably the smallest soda you can get because you don't want to waste) and you each take turns going around the circle, shaking the bottle until it explodes. Whoever it explodes on is out for the next round. I played it and it was so cool!

03. PLAY WITH WATER BALOONS: there are so many things you can do. Some of my recent ideas are to play rugby with them (make sure it's on grass otherwise it hurts if you fall over), play catch, play volleyball or play brandy with water balloons. They're so much fun!

04. PLAY THE GAME WITH THE LONG NAME: also known as Truth-Dare-Double Dare-Love-Kiss-Physical Torture-Lick-Put Down Pants-Say in a minute-Bang Head Against-Triple Dare-Hump-Psychological Torture or Pash. You may also just refer to it as "Truth or Dare" or "Truth, dare, double dare, love, kiss or torture". If you don't know what these are, you probably just climbed out from under a rock and are probably celebrating your 4th birthday rather than your 14th.

05. WATCH A MOVIE: particularly a comedy. Best done if you do number 01 on this list. Preferably at night. I've done that in all of my sleepovers. I made it a tradition. Make sure you choose a good movie, though.

06. GO FOR A SWIM: even if it's winter! Actually it's more fun that way. I did that when I had my birthday party and we played Suicidal Volleyball. It's called that because you have to jump around and stuff. You can do anything you like, but just keep in mind about other reasons why it's called Suicidal Volleyball...

07. PLAY WATER PISTOL TIGGY: Water pistol tiggy is the best. It's basically like tiggy except you have two teams, each with a captain. When you squirt someone with the water pistol then they're on your team. Once you squirt all the members of the other team or squirt the other team's captain then your team wins and you start again.

08. PLAY BRANDY: of course! It's painful for sure, but nothing's better than to do that at a party! Brandy is also known as British Bulldog or Ball Tiggy. Just make sure you don't invite any wussy guests because I did that this year and while we played Brandy he went inside and hung out with my sister (party pooper)

09. PLAY THE BALL BOUNCE GAME: Since you have a trampoline, it would be easy. Just grab a soccer ball and two people are bouncing on the trampoline. Everybody else tries to hit the people on the trampoline with the ball to get on. It just keeps going.

10. PLAY PAINTBALL: Oooooooh. Sweet Paintball. Don't you just love that sound of people getting SPLAT! Make sure you wear protective gear though. And play it outside, otherwise that's fully suicidal. Better done if you have a big spacial backyard.

Just in case you want to know some ideas for the older years, Last year, I did all of the ones on this list exccept for number 10 on the list for my 13th birthday.

Hope those ten ideas help. At home is a good idea. It's less expensive. And you can still have fun. I mean, look at all these ideas, and that's not ALL I've done!

who invented the trampoline ?

Q.

Answer
George Nissan

Here is the full info -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What should I do for my sixteenth birthday?

water trampolines for rent image

Audrinna

I can't have a giant party or spend a ton of money. But I am turning 16, and it's pretty big! What should I do?

Answer
Well in my family, usually we skip the whole Sweet Sixteen thing and just throw a big graduation/18th birthday party.
But...
you can always have twenty or so good friends over for a bbq in your backyard -
grill, cake, sparklers, (if you have a pool/trampoline, some stuff could happen) if its hot out, and your birthday is later on, you could play water games. Rent a Slip n Slide or a bounce house(:

Or you and your girlfriends could maybe get your nails done and go out to dinner?
Or rent a room at your favorite restaurant and you and 3-4 close friends could go out for a celebratory meal!

How can i go to Boracay West Cove?

chel r

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

Answer
How to get there my friend:

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

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

Airlines serving Kalibo and Caticlan include the following:

Manila to Caticlan:

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

Manila to Kalibo:

â¢Cebu Pacific
â¢Philippine Airlines

Cebu to Caticlan:

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

Cebu to Kalibo:

â¢Cebu Pacific

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

Around the island

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

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