Where can I get my tungsten ring engraved?

December 24, 2009 - 9:17 am 3 Comments

I bought my fiance a tungsten wedding band and I would like to have it engraved. The place I bought it at does not offer engraving.. can I take the ring to some place like Kay’s to have the ring engraved or will they not engrave a ring that was not bought from there?

Also, how long does it typically take to engrave a ring?

What is staff accommodation like on Hamilton Island?

December 21, 2009 - 12:24 pm 2 Comments

Our family of three are looking to move to Hamilton Island for work, however we have no idea what the staff accommodation is like. What do we need to bring up with us? How much are we likely to pay in rent? Are there any perks we might get? Anything we need to know?

I went to Hamilton Island a few years ago – we stayed at the Reef View hotel is was beautiful. The island is great, there are no cars and everyone drives golf buggies around. Some cool things we did were we went on a snorkeling trip with Fantasea cruises, it was about $100 for the day but it included everything – food, snorkelling gear and it took you to the great barrier reef and back. Also we did another cruise that took us to Whitehaven beach – its one of the top 10 beaches in the world a must see!!! We did parasailing, which was at the main beach also. Found hamilton to be a bit pricy on food and drinks as it was an island….. Have fun!!

What is the difference between a tropical rain forest and a jungle?

December 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm 4 Comments

I visited my first tropical rain forest earlier this summer and I’m just curious what is the dif between those two

.

Besides the consistent amount of rainfall, tropical rain forests tend to have tall broad leaf trees (evergreen, etc) that can grow beyond the canopy (upper most habitat level.) The finely grown trees will then form the tree crowns at top, which pretty much covers up most of the sunlight. The lack of sunlight causes the growth of fast-growing plant life to be inhibited, giving advantage to a more diverse range of plants to slowly take root.

Jungles, on the other hand, may not always have the consistent rainfall attributes of rain forests. For the ones that do share semi/pre-rain forest condition, they usually do not have a diverse and wide tree crown on the top. This causes more sunlight to get through, giving faster growing plants much greater advantage to grow and expand. Hence, lowering the plant diversity relative to a tropical rain forest.

What do you think of an indoor playground for young children?

December 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm 5 Comments

I am thinking of starting an indoor playground for young children ages 0-5. We have an indoor playground in our area but most of the children are older and I am terrified to bring my younger children there. I have extensive child care experience so I am also thinking about offering playdates and Mommy & Me and Daddy & Me groups on specific days.

My question is what are your thoughts on this concept?

We have one in our area, and I LOVE it! Ours has a separate area only for children under 3 years old, which I think is a good idea (maybe a better idea than not allowing children under 5 in the whole place, because that may deter parents with several children from coming, if older siblings are not allowed). Some other things I really like about ours are:
-Comfy couches scattered about for parents to sit on while they are watching their children
-A little kitchen area with little picnic tables for children, and big tables for adults
-A COFFEE MAKER WITH COMPLIMENTARY COFFEE for parents (sometimes, this is my motivation for taking my daughter there on Sunday mornings)
-A full-sized changing table in a separate room, as opposed to one that hangs on the wall in the public restroom (my daughter was always nervous on those plastic wall-hanging ones, and in a place with a lot of toddlers, the bathroom is often in use!)
-They sell healthy snacks at the front desk, along with bottled water
-Socks are mandatory, and they have some for sale at the front desk (I had to purchase some for myself this summer when I accidentally wore flip-flops!)
-They offer consignment services for local crafters to sell child-related stuff
-They do birthday parties!
Hope this helps in your endeavors. If I had money, I would love to start one myself (and I would steal many of these ideas!).
Best wishes!

Which beach in Aruba is best for a small wedding ceremony?

December 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm 3 Comments

I am getting married in Aruba in May. We are planning a beachside, sunset ceremony. My question is, which beach there is best for a small wedding ceremony?

Pick one of the high rise hotels for the wedding. The sun sets on that side of the island. If I remember right the Marriott is the last Hi-rise on the beach…but ask I might be mistaken.

Congratulations, may the sun never set on your love for each other.

How do you change the language on a PALM Tungsten E2?

December 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm 1 Comment

I have a Palm Tungsten E2 and I want to change the language settings from English to Portuguese. How can I perform this task?

To change the language version, the unit must be HARD reset, then part of the setup procedure will ask your language of choice.

The Palmdesktop cd should also include a multilanguage option, as the desktop you install on the PC for hotsync must be the same language as the unit’s selection.

How do you make leaves on a plant shine?

December 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm 6 Comments

I just bought a house plant with large green leaves, the leaves look dull can I make them shine?

they make leaf shine stuff you can buy in most garden shops — other than that just washing them off with some soapy dishwater helps too.
