Toyota Provides Options for the Green Driver

Being environmentally friendly is a terrific path to follow in 2011 and it seems in America, it is becoming a wide followed trend.

From reuseable shopping bags to more people being aware of their carbon foot print it’s no doubt that more people are trying to become more green friendly.

It only makes sense that the average driver would take that green thinking to their garage. Thanks to Toyota launching the Toyota Prius Americans have started the hybrid revolution.

Many car lovers that are fueled by speed, returning low mpgs, aren’t a fan of the latest green ban wagon but hopefully with more hybrid choices it’ll become more appealing.

Toyota is hopping adding more relatives to the Prius family drivers will become more interactive with the hybrid family.

Excited over the expanding automotive market and seeing new trends in providing a healthier, greener driving experience is a great sight to see.

However, will hybrids catch up to their gas hungry rivals? Will driving a hybrid really be as fun as a v8 sports car?

The future will only show how much hybrids will improve and add to the driving experience.

Online Dating Gone Wrong

A California woman signed up on the popular online dating service Match.com and ended up going on a date with a man who later sexually attacked her.

The woman is now suing Match.com claiming the site needs to improve the dating site to prevent similar attacks. She wants Match.com to do a sexual predator screening process using the user’s credit card before allowing the user to join the dating service.

Match.com says it’s impossible to check everyone and they don’t have users social security numbers to do real back ground checks.

Is Match.com responsible for this attack? If a woman went to a bar and was later sexually attacked by a guy she met that night is it the bars fault for providing a space for the two to met?

Have you ever been on a date with someone you met online? What was your experience?

The Miss USA Pageant has moved its date from April to June. Of course this is the only weekend Emily Johnson, Miss Maine USA, has plans.

Johnson is planning to keep her family values and attended her older sister's wedding. Johnson is allowed to keep her crown as Miss Maine but has to give up the title, prizes and appearances.

Miss Maine runner-up is Ashley Marble from Cumberland whom will be attending the Miss USA Pageant.

The Miss USA Pageant is a big deal that millions of women wish they could compete in but family always comes first. It's nice to see that even in a competitive beauty pageant there's always time for family.

Would you choose a chance at fame over your family? Is Johnson doing the right thing?
