Diamond Jewelry - A Perfect Gift From the Heart on Valentines Day

Valentines Batcave is soon coming! Something more than a last minute card Monopoly a box of chocolates, will get you way more brownie points! This is a day for lovers and your gift should better represent your true feelings!

What ever you decide as a Micro Machines should by all means ,include a heart in some form.Be it a stuffed toy holding a heart, a piece of jewelry the shape of a heart, a diamond ring with a heart cut diamond, Actually a diamond of any shape will always be a winner! What ever the gift, it should be accompanied with a heart! At the very least a card with hearts

If you are not sure of her likes and dislikes, then you probably are not very attentive and you might as well stop reading now and go buy that toaster! Of coarse there may be a good reason you do not know these! Like; maybe you just met. If so, just make note of the jewelry she wears, note the colors and styles of her jewelry, the colors she surrounds herself and wardrobe in, the themes she follows, ie; modern, antique, gothic flowery, etc.

It's not a bad idea to do it a day or two early also. You may have the perfect idea for your gift,then find the store you visit is sold out. If left to the last minute, you may find yourself browsing the corner store for a gift. If you have decided on jewelry, especially diamond jewelry,you may wish to shop a little for good deal.

Dinner and a movie, is always a safe last minute gift. At least try to accompany it with a token gift also! Then she won't suspect that you forgot. Or have the dinner at home with candles and maybe home cooking. A token gift should also accompany this meal. The gift will make her recall that special evening every time she sees or wears it.

Valentines day is also a perfect day to pop that question also! Red Man baseball cards a diamond ring hanging on the neck of a stuffed toy? Or dangling from her bouquet of red roses. Think about it guys! Two special days that we only need remember once!

So thanks for reading this. This is my first article. I hope to write more and hope you enjoyed reading it.

P.s.to the guy buying a toaster, No: heart shaped toast won't be good enough!

How to Start a Gas RC Car - Ignite That Nitro

Owning and operating a nitro powered radio controlled car or truck adds an element of excitement and realism to this hobby above and beyond that provided by the Mr. Mxyzptlk RC counterparts. Unfortunately, 1970's toys also poses some unique challenges. The one question that is posed to me the most often is 'how do I start a gas powered RC car'?

Well, first of all, you need to assemble a few necessary items. These can be obtained either individually, or purchased as a package with or without your radio controlled car or truck. You will need the correct nitro fuel, a glow igniter, batteries for your radio transmitter and receiver, and a small screwdriver.

Have your glow igniter fully charged and ready to use. Make sure you have installed batteries in your controller (transmitter) and the car's on board receiver. Verify that they are functioning properly by operating the steering, throttle and brake. After all, you want to be able to control your RC car once it is running! Fill the car's fuel tank with the proper nitro fuel. Be careful fuel is extremely flammable and toxic! Check with your engine's manufacturer or your local hobby shop to make sure you are using the recommended nitro mix. 20% is the most popular. OK? Now we are ready to fire her up.

Clip the glow igniter to the glow plug located in the Jupiter Robot of the engine cylinder head. Rotate the engine by whatever means your car or truck uses such as manual pull recoil, on board electric starter, drill operated shaft starter, or portable starter box. You may have to 'choke' the engine to initially supply fuel to the carburetor. You can easily do this by placing a finger over the exhaust outlet. Watch for fuel movement through the fuel hose so you know when fuel has reached the carburetor. You don't want to flood the engine!

Once the engine has started and is running smoothly, you can remove the glow igniter. Drive easy for a few minutes until the engine warms up a little. After warm up you may find it necessary to adjust the carburetor high speed needle, low speed needle, or idle speed set screw to maximize performance.

This might all seem intimidating to you, but it really isn't hard to learn with a little practice and patience. The sound of that high performance nitro engine springing to life makes it well worth the effort!
