wheelman

By David Ponce

This sounds like a good way for your face and the pavement to meet. Oh, and for your wallet to go missing one month’s salary in the process.

That said, there’s no doubt that there are those who wouldn’t mind owning the Australian-made Wheelman, a motorized skateboard of sorts. It’s powered by a two-stroke engine that holds 1.5 litres of fuel. That’s enough for an hour and a half of riding around, on or off-road at top speeds of 19mph. The fuel pump? You hold it in your hand, and squeeze it now and then (not sure whether this is the throttle as well).

The price of all this hilarity? $1,500.

Come inside for some videos.

  13. I’m Adam, 22 from Washington, PA..

    I’ve been depressed for around 5 years or so, I’m constantly having anxiety problems
    with seemingly every situation I’m in. I never talk to anyone, not even my parents
    whom I live with, and when we do I usually just be an asshole to them for no reason.
    I struggle at work sometimes because I can barely keep my concentration sometimes….
    BUT….. when I take a Paxi in thel http://superdrugsonline.com – best I feel just like I did before I ever did any drugs. I have
    full concentration at work and everywhere else, amazing social skills(after 22 years
    I can finally flirt with girls I find attractive). And the absolute best thing I get from being o
    n xanax is being able to talk to my parents!

  31. Hello,
    Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth. Much respect!

  35. Ses Canaletes Golf Park

    A residential complex, formed by 66 garden houses, in two parallel rows, with commune zones and swimming pool.
    The complex comprises pedestrian areas and “pergolas” that provide better climatic and relax conditions.
    It has been designed with the predominant criteria on the island of Minorca, applying the outside layer materials in the traditional style, with a modern design structure, although seeking its integration in the scenery.
    The whole complex is raised on a sanitary wrought that isolates the houses from the moisture of the soil.
    The homes, all of them with three bedrooms, have be-en thought to obtain a maximum space to live in, practical and of great luminosity.
    All the flooring is finished with high quality ceramic tiles, anti-skidding outdoors, pressed polystyrene isolation and air chamber in the outside walls. The facade is finished with hand made plaster and two coats of waterproof, anti-mold, anti-cracking acrylic paint. http://www.ingenec.com/

  36. The things in Iraq took yet another wrong turn when Bush forced Maliki to meet him in Jordan. The meeting did not help Republicans in the elections, but broke the Iraqi coalition. The faction of Shiite cleric al-Sadr walked out of the government coalition, as promised, because of the meeting.

    No one in Iraq has a slightest doubt that Maliki is an American quisling. That?s ok with the people. In Muslims countries, rulers are not expected to represent population; the US and the Qaeda each tries to change that. Muslims are very extroversive and value fac,ade and rituals. Maliki could be a puppet, but he should behave like a tiger ? Iraqi tiger. At least, Maliki managed to skip social meeting with Bush and Jordanian King Abdullah (Olmert ignored Arab mentality and met Abdullah several times, a PR disaster).

    If that attention to rituals looks silly to rational Americans, it probably is. But that?s how it works in the region. To reach an agreement with Iraqis ? rather than simply punish the Baathist state ? the US negotiators would have to sit hours and days with various Iraqis, both bureaucrats and radicals, drinking super-sweet Iranian tea, chain-smoking on par with their opponents and talking, talking, and talking. That might or might not bring the desired results, but no other approach could deliver a stable, moderate, US-friendly Iraq.

    To please his American masters, Maliki brought together fictitious coalition. Its Shiite faction does not include al-Sadr?s group, the main Shiite organization. It includes only a minor Sunni party, also non-representative. The coalition is advertised as moderate, but listen to the names: Sunni Iraqi Islamic Party (sectarians), the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution (sic) in Iraq, and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (separatist organization, as the name makes clear).

    The coalition is meant to squeeze Sadr out of politics. He would indeed go ? into the urban battlefields. Sadr could show himself a good Muslim, promise to step down the fighting ? and use the truce to train his forces. He needs time to grow the Mahdi gang into an army.

    Sistani?s approval won?t cement the coalition. He is merely a religious authority. Religious power in Islam is very dispersed because every cleric and theoretically every Muslim could pronounce fatwas. People go along with famous clerics insofar as they opportunistically serve the mob?s wishes. Sistani cannot afford to condemn fighting the Sunnis, thus his blessing of the coalition could only be half-hearted. Moreover, Shiite militia includes few fundamentalists who would blindly obey Sistani. They are common guerrillas who only superficially subscribe to religion or ideology. They fight for the sake of killing. Their loyalty is with Sadr. Iran ? al-Sadr?s sponsor ? does not care about Iraqi Shiite bosses such as Sistani. Civil war in Iraq suits Iranian national interest: strong and hostile neighbor turns into protectorate.

    Iran, not Sadr is the problem, but Sadr handsomely contributes to the situation. Oddly, the US loses its soldiers, kills Iraqis and allows still larger numbers to die in the conflict while al-Sadr, who orchestrates much of the violence, lives in safety. Why not assassinate him?

    The White House PR people offended the common sense when they staged Robert Gates? meeting with a dozen of handpicked soldiers who assured him that the army is on the right track.

  45. HI – I just found out i am pregnant, we are very excited! Last night waiting for my husband to come home so I could take the test nearly killed me. but when that little blue + came up there was much jumping up and down and squealing.

    So now finally I am pregnant and suddenly realise that I don’t know anything, so that’s a bit scary!

    I need to start researching diapers and strollers and stuff! This is great!

    I just had to tell someone! weeeeeeeeeeeee!

  46. Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective in the Middle East Conflict also scored high in all categories it was nominated. Google earlier banned advertising of that blog for unacceptable content.

    Samson Blinded’s author advocates religious state of Judea at the border with Israel and expulsion of Arabs. Obadiah Shoher denies democracy dominated by liberals and Muslims and calls Israelis to oppose police efforts at removing the settlements. His other point is dismanlting economically unbearable Israeli army and relying on nuclear weapons. However, he decried Lebanese and Iraq invasions.

    Public opinion seems to strongly shift the the right in Middle East issues. Any thoughts on that?
