VIDEO: Porsche 718 Boxster Vs Lotus Elise 250 Cup
As supercar and sports car fans, it is hard not to love the Porsche 718 Boxster and the Lotus Elise. While us car guys drool over Pagani and Koenigsegg machines, the reality is that very few of us will ever be able to afford such amazingly rare (and stupidly-expensive) beasts. The Porsche Boxster and Lotus Elise are definitely in the realm of possibility, the perfect sports cars for the car guys with regular money then. They aren鈥檛 sports-car light either. They are light, they are fun, have solid performance and are usable on regular roads. A car buyer needs no more. That鈥檚 why we were excited to see our friends at Autocar review and compare the two. Porsche鈥檚 Boxster S fitted with a new four cylinder engine is stiff competition for Lotus鈥?hardcore Elise Cup 250, but can it hold its own? Will their review show that the Lotus Elise has the lightweight charm and interaction to see off its German rival? Or will the Porsche 718 Boxster, which now has a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, impress with its extra power and superior refinement?
Let kids color, paint, etc. on the back of used paper. Color both sides of the paper whatever color you like, cut into very thin strips and then use as "grass" for the Easter baskets. Take used copier paper from work and donate to daycare centers for the kids to draw on. Give lined computer paper to children learning how to write cursive. Fill with pencils and store in a drawer at home. Let kids use for a jewelry box. Let kids use as a cash register when playing "store".

Several will fit in a frame. Store the frame flat in a closet. Let children decorate a wooden frame with paint and then allow them to hang it in their room with their own art work inside it. Save the glass and backing of standard size frames for when others break. Use for hanging emergency phone numbers and instructions in the basement or garage. Replace the glass with a mirror and hang it for a new look. Make a small picture frame (wallet size or 3x5) into a coaster. Glue something soft (material, etc) to the back so it does not scratch your table. Use the cardboard backing as a fire starter. Glue your child's artwork to the cardboard backing of a picture frame. Display on a wall or as a standup without the need for a frame. If a wooden frame is broken, simply glue or nail it back together. Fill with salt or pepper and take camping.
Fill with sugar or creamer and take with you in the car when bringing a thermos of coffee for long road trips. Use butter bowls as flower pots.

Store the plastic utensils you get from fast-food restaurants in your car and use them for on-the-road meals or when drive-thru forgets to give you utensils (it happens!).
