Tip: Kids Tricycles Make Great Toddler Christmas Gift Ideas

By Edie Mindell

You have selected your toddler's first bike. It is a sweet sassy little number complete with racing stripes and a bell. It is only 18 inches off of the ground. After the frenzied research and purchase is complete don't be tempted to think your job is done. Dreams of Christmas morning watching your child run to the toddler bike are incomplete unless your toddler is properly equipped with a helmet and other safety gear.

Why does a toddler need a helmet?

Many parents when shopping for a toddler bike forget about the helmet. The bike is only knee-high and the likelihood of serious injury may seem quite remote. Don't be one of the parents whose Christmas efforts and dreams are rewarded by a broken baby. It is very easy to see the reasoning that a tiny bike might only cause a small bump or bruise, and let's be honest, for many this is the case. The news headlines on Boxing Day are not topped with mangled and helmetless riders of toddler bikes. Yet there is an element of protection a helmet provides that will insure your child's safety.

Does a Toddler need the padding?

Toddlers have plenty of natural padding in the form of chub, but they may need a few extra layers to prevent bumps and bruises as they hit the road on their new tricycle. It seems kids these days are buckled, padded and helmeted until they can hardly see or breathe. These safety items really make a difference.

Even the most vigilant parent cannot prevent every fall, nor do they want to. It is necessary to risk a good tumble to learn how to ride a bike, even if it is a tricycle. Toddlers want to learn how to do everything by themselves. Why not give them the padding to make any falls less scary for both parent and child.

Think of it this way: your timid, yet eager child perches atop his bike ready to ride when splat! He falls off skinning his elbows or scraping his knee. This is not a serious life threatening injury, but how long and how much talking will it take to convince your child that this fancy tricycle is fun and not a toddler torture device?

Teach them young

Perhaps the more compelling reason is that of precedent. This is a toddler bike, but it is your baby's first bike. Setting the expectation of wearing a helmet and other padding protection for knees and elbows now will establish good habits. Then when your toddler somehow becomes a daredevil 8-year old rocketing up and down the street he is doing so while happily wearing the appropriate safety gear.

The first toddler bike is a big deal. Enjoy your child's Christmas present along with them and have the shiny new helmet and elbow pads with red racing stripes to complete the holiday Kodak moment. Have a safe and merry Christmas! - 17607

Wine Tasting 101: Learning the Art of Wine Tasting

By KC Kudra

Wines tasting party is the perfect place to try out your wine tasting skills as well as learn from veteran wine connoisseurs. Wine tasting, contrary to what is usually thought, and is not a lot of people standing around looking chic while sipping, swishing and eying glasses of Napa Valley wines. It is actually an art form that requires a sharp sense of smell, taste, and an eye for the sublime. Mastering the techniques of professional wine tasting can take a great deal of practice and there is always some new technique to learn.

Wine tasting notes abound and can get your started. However, the only true way to begin to distinguish a fine wine amidst a variety of fine wines is a skill. Picking them reliably requires a trained palate, which takes years to develop. Wine tasting involves ascertaining whether the wine has been stored properly in a wine cellar designed to produce a beverage that is both pleasing to the eye and an exquisite experience for the palette.

Wine tasting is rooted in our sense of smell with over 75% of the impact on our taste inexorably linked to the food and drink we consume. This would account for the persistent notion that when we have a cold everything is tasteless and our appetite is non-existent. Most wine aficionados will tell you that the experience of a fine wine is more about the smell than the taste, and after that personal preference takes over and it becomes a tossup from that point on.

Napa Valley wine tasting is one of the places that was at the forefront of initiating proper wine tasting. Wine growers realized that with the all too familiar swishing came with a purpose. Its purpose is to circulate the taste of the wine by moving it from the front of the mouth to the rear in order to hit all of the taste buds on the tongue.

Taste buds are not necessarily the main factor, but they do identify food, beverages and as being sweet, salty or bitter. The swishing method, therefore, gives the senses a chance to extract the aromatic flavors in the wine testing process.

Understanding the fundamentals of swishing allows the connoisseur to move on to the three basic principles of the art of judging a fine wine - observing, smelling, and finally tasting.

Wine should ideally be served in a crystal clear glass so that the delicate color and hue are not distorted by the color of the glass. This allows the first step, observation, to be fully realized. With the sample, a wine connoisseur can take a leisurely approach to examining the wine. This is part of the process, taking a deliberately slow look to see if any imperfections in color and hue can be seen. For instance, White wines actually are not white. They range in color from a golden, pale brown to a shade of light green. Red wine is, by contrast, darker with a pink hue and can run the gamut between a dark pinkish color to a darker brown color.

The second step is closely observing the smell of the wine that is actually accomplished in a two-step fashion. First, you should take a brief whiff of the wine to get a general idea of what you are dealing with. Next, you will take an extended, deep drawn in smell in order take in the full aroma of the beverage.

Wine experts will usually let the aroma waft over them as they reflect on the total experience of the wine up to that point.

After letting it come fully into their consciousness, a wine taster will then take a sip, swish it around to activate all of the taste buds to ascertain the wine and savor it fully prior to swallowing. This method allows all senses to be engaged in the process of taking in the wine, figuring the quality of it. This allows wine growers to figure out if their grapes, distillation process, and procedures used to store it in a wine cellar or storage unit was sufficient to produce a fine quality wine.

Having completed the steps of observing, smelling, and finally tasting the wine, you will then be able to discern the quality of the wine from a connoisseur's standpoint. This is the most comprehensive way to determine the aging, storage, and overall fitness of the wine for consumption. In addition, as with any skill, the more practiced you become, the more adept you will be at evaluating the unique and exciting flavors of this special beverage. - 17607

Testing the Fit of a Nitro RC Race Engine

By Marten (Marty) Davis

How to Test THE FIT of a Nitro RC Racing Engine:

I was told a secret by a very accomplished rc racer how he tested his engines to determine if they had The Perfect Fit. Since he was by far, the BEST MODELER at that time, I listened.

Now to the way to test the fit of the piston/liner, to see if you have a great fit and seal.

I assemble the finished engine. I apply a drop of "silicone platelets" to the piston surface on initial assembly. You can get this at Boca Bearings as (Midas Touch Lubricant). I turn the engine over several times to coat the piston and imbed the Teflon Platelets in the piston. I put a little bit of methanol in the engine to clean out most of the oil residue.

I put in the Glo Plug and test the engine for seal by rocking the engine back and forth over top dead center with the flywheel. If you can't rock it back and forth over top dead center without loosing the seal and leaking down for at least 20 bumps, you don't have a good fit.

Once you find that you have an engine with a great fit, run the engine in your model. You want to get the engine VERY WARM for a short period of time. Then run rich for a short period, then run VERY WARM, etc. Several cycles like this will allow the metal of the piston and liner to find their set and you should have a GREAT ENGINE.

It is a good idea to re-try the bump test AFTER you run in the engine to make sure that the seal lasts.

This test will be one of the best tips you will ever learn and will accurately predict the success of your engine build.

The fit is "Far More Important" than any timing numbers or ANYTHING ELSE, and will be your primary indicator of a great engine.

This test shows the liner/piston roundness, the seal of the liner to the case, and the seal of the head to the liner.

Buying The Right Format of Karaoke Discs For Your Player

By Jackie Sun

When establishing your own karaoke library, there are a number of certain elements you must look out for when picking out the accurate karaoke CDs and DVDs. The greatest thing to remember is always make sure your karaoke machine can cover the right data formatting of the Cd Discs or DVDs that you are buying.

While virtually all karaoke systems are able to handle most data formatting, and most karaoke CDs and DVDs work on most systems, it is advisable to double determine to insure that your purchases will not be done in waste. If using a more modern karaoke system, nearly all are able to address almost all formats karaoke CDs and Dvd Discs, but by going through the formats it will handle it will make sure you are not frustrated when it does not function. By simply double-checking, you can set your mind at ease and be assured that your purchase will work without a headache.

If you need to start your own individual music karaoke library by buying karaoke discs, make sure you select the ones that you know will be used. While most individuals would like to have a full library that covers all music styles and music genres, it can become valueless to buy a number of tracks that you have no interest in ever singing.

A easier choice is to look for titles that contain tracks that you are engaged in. That way you can assure that your purchase will be put to great use instead of merely collecting dust. Nonetheless if you are someone who is always throwing karaoke events or inviting friends over to enjoy your karaoke machine, check that the songs have a deep appeal that will fit everyone.

Don't worry as there is nothing improper in having your own private collection of favored karaoke songs, but if you are a huge fan of country and your friends cannot stand it at all, it can make your karaoke parties a little bit subdued.

Lastly, there is something you must constantly remember when deciding what karaoke CDs and Dvd Discs you are purchasing is what you will get the most pleasure out of. If your aim is to practice singing in karaoke night, then look for unique titles that contain tracks that you will sing, but if you wish to use your karaoke player for a bit of social fun, look at collections or karaoke Dvds that encompass a deep range of songs. That way everyone can get into the fun. - 17607
