The Wovel, snow shovel on a wheel, clears snow with little effort and is safer on your back too.

The four-way stop is a drivers’ IQ test, that many drivers fail. It would seem to be a maneuver of approximately Blue-Angel caliber. But, it is really very simple, if you follow these few rules.
Case I - one car
You are the only one at the intersection. This is the simplest case. First you stop [complete stop (in or out of the cross-walk), rolling stop, 25 mph stop, etc.], then you have only five options:
1. Go.
2. Hesitate, then go.
3. Wait for 3 more cars to come along.
4. Wait for 2 more cars.
5. Wait for 1 more car.
A true Driver (with a capital “D”, master of four-way stops) would choose option #3. After all, they do call this a four-way stop. Most drivers modify option #3 by adding a time limit, like 30 seconds: “Wait for 3 cars or 30 seconds, whichever comes first.” This 30-second wait has degenerated into option #2, “Hesitate, then go.”
Case II - 2 cars
There are a few permutations here:
1. You got there first. See below, “Complication #3, who got there first?” In this situation, just go, unless you are a disgustingly polite driver (Complication #1).
2. He or she is on your right and you’re turning right. Go.
3. He or she is on your right and you’re not turning right. Wait.
4. He or she is straight ahead; and he or she is going straight or turning right; and you’re going straight or turning right. Go.
5. He or she is straight ahead and he or she is turning left or you’re turning left. Wait.
6. He or she is on your left and he or she is turning right. Go.
7. He or she is on your left and he or she is not turning right. Wait.
Case III - 3 cars
If it’s your turn, go. If not, try to imagine what can go wrong if you do go, and then go if you didn’t just imagine your own death. Actually, this case is a simplification of case IV - 4 cars.
Case IV - 4 cars
There are hundreds of permutations here. But, actually, it’s pretty simple. Go it it’s your turn, or if you’re turning right and nobody else is headed for that lane.

If you look closely you’ll see that there are actually 3 people on this bike.
So like Beau said, we had some ups and downs on our trip to Vegas. The low point for me had to be The Amazing Johnathan show. He is a comedian/magician. He performs at the Sahara, which is on the end of the strip by the Stratosphere. Not a great part of the strip.
We purchased our tickets online before we left at $75 a piece. The tickets have to be picked up at the box office by 4pm that day. The show isn’t until 10pm. So we buy monorail tickets to the Sahara, get our tickets no problem and head back to the Flamingo until its time for the show.
Once again, we buy more monorail tickets, go back to the Sahara for the show. We are standing in line and 10 minutes before the show is to start an usher comes out and says that the show has been cancelled, “Johnathan called in sick.” What? I mean I understand that people get sick but the guy has one performance a day for less than 2 hours. And 10 minutes before the show starts. One of the guys in line with us was just on the elevator with Johnathan and he said he seemed fine.
So now our choices are, to see the back up show which is one of the singers of the Temptations, or go get a refund. Needless to say, everyone headed to the box office for refunds. Now we’ve got 500 angry people standing in line in the middle of the casino floor and 1 person working in the box office. This would be the time they should call in for some help. Target even has back up cashiers, Im sure they can find someone working that night that could come give us a hand.
Its finally our turn!! He asks us where we bought our tickets. We said Vegas.com. He says for us to call Showtime Marketing, they deal with all the refunds and they have already notified them of the cancellation, and gives us the number and sends us on our way. We made sure we called and got it straightened out before we left the hotel. So we call and she gives us another number to call. When that woman answers she says, “What, the shows cancelled? No one has told us.” Imagine that. Now we sit on hold while she calls the Sahara to verify. After about 20 minutes she gets back on and says yes the show is cancelled and we will refund your money to the card used. Fine, but that was 3 days ago and we have yet to see the money.
If you’re bored and want to have some fun, give this a try.
Go somewhere with open space such as a park or big back yard first. Take a cold bottle of diet coke and 5 Mentos mints. Break the mints in half and drop all 10 pieces in the bottle at the same time. Stand back and watch the fountain erupt!
We all of us have seen the senior pranks or even been apart of them, but most of the pranks that have been done over the years more then likely have some time of criminal charge that follows them should the people be prosecuted and in some cases not being able to graduate. You know that one’s I am talking about the spray painting of lockers, locker rooms, and baseball fields.
I remember one when I was going to school, some seniors stole a metal turtle that probably weighed in around 2000 pounds from a housing community. I guess they unbolted the turtle, somehow lifted it in to a truck, took it to the rival school and drilled it into the cement in front of the main doors so that they were unable to open. Not only that but they spray painted the turtle with school colors. To this day people still don’t know who was involved, and that’s probably a good thing.
So in telling you all of this, I found a school prank that was perfect. No one gets hurt, no criminal charges can be filed and everyone has a little bit of fun. These are the types of pranks that should be done more often!
So here’s how it works, 94 students, some teamwork and an underground tunnel.
If you’re tired of staying in the 5 star hotels, how about a tree house, igloo, or cave. Here are a few that look interesting.
Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa
This oasis was developed by Emirates Airlines in the desert outside of Dubai. Designed to resemble a Bedouin camp, the resort has suites, each with its own private swimming pool, and a spa with scented treatments. Activities include safari field trips on foot or in an air-conditioned, four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Anatolian Houses
Located in caves in the volcanic landscape of Cappadocia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, this hotel has luxuriously decorated suites with everything from LCD TVs to jacuzzis. A hiding place for Christians during the Roman era, Cappadocia offers not only sightseeing, but also trekking, hot-air-balloon rides, rafting and skiing.
Costa Rica Tree House Lodge
Located on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast, the lodge’s tree house is built of sustainable hardwoods taken from trees that fell in the rainforest. The treehouse has two rooms that sleep up to six. Views of the rainforest surround guests, who also have access to a 300-meter private beachfront. Surfing and white-water rafting are available.
ICEHOTEL
Built new from scratch every winter, Sweden’s ICEHOTEL sleeps over 100 guests, each in a unique bedroom whose temperature is never colder than five to eight degrees celsius. The property has an ice chapel, an ice art gallery and, last but not least, an Absolut ice bar, the world’s first. For those unwilling or unable to brave the cold, the ICEHOTEL also offers heated guest rooms.
Ngong House
Located on ten acres in the outskirts of Nairobi, this hotel is run by a former Belgian diplomat. Accommodations are in treehouses, a private cottage and log cabin. Elevated 15 feet off the ground, the treehouses offer gorgeous views of the bush and Ngong Hills. Breakfast and lunch are served under acacia trees in the garden, while dinner is served in a candle-lit, thatched rondaval with a grand fireplace.
If you have ever wanted a custom built Chopper, you have got to check out Copr Choppers. A friend of mine, Tony Martinez, builds these amazing Choppers. The name Copr is because he is a Sergeant with Denver PD. I have known Tony for 6 years and in that time I have watched him build 8 different bikes.
Tony started CoprChoppers in March of 2005 and has had incredible success since then. He won the Biker Build Off Competition in 2007. His most recent bike, the Ground Pounder, began a six show streak of “Best of ” honors and has since won 1st place at the Denver Show and Swap Meet, and Best Of Show and Peoples Choice at Thunder Mountain. 
At the Rat’s Hole Custom Show, his super-sized 10-foot-long chopper, Kong, won first-place in the Super Radical Class. 
Another of his bikes, Blade, won the 2005 Red River New Mexico Bike Rally and the 2005 Thunder in the Rockies show. What is most impressive about the bikes is that he builds them all in his garage.
Check out his site for some incredible pictures!!!
