Snuggie on Air...
Quotes from the Energy Morning Show! Meg Tucker - "The best invention ever!", Heath Brown - "I'm friends with Zack cuz he's so cool with his snuggie!", Zack - "My new Zebra one coming in the mail will look even better! And I might have made up Heath and Meg's quotes..."
HUGE! Toyota Recall
Toyota has announced a recall on the floor mats of six different Toyota and Lexus vehicles spanning six production years. The floor mats on these cars and trucks could cause, and may already have caused an accident and should be removed immediately, and not replaced by another mat. According to Toyota, several popular cars and trucks have the faulty floor mats, including the most recent Camry and Prius models.
Toyota has released some instructions for what to do if your accelerator becomes stuck. Most of these will probably seem like common sense, but in the event of a catastrophe, common sense I susually the first thing to go. First off, you should try to pull the floor mat off of the gas pedal. If that doesn’t work, stand on the brake pedal and put the car’s transmission into neutral. If the car can’t be put into neutral, turn the key off, but don’t remove the key from the ignition as that will cause the steering wheel to lock.
Owners of the following cars and trucks should remove their floor mats and not replace them until Toyota has equipped the vehicle with a replacement mat that can be effectively secured in place.
2007 - 2010 Toyota Camry
2005 - 2010 Toyota Avalon
2004 - 2009 Toyota Prius
2005 - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
2007 - 2010 Toyota Tundra
2007 - 2010 Lexus ES350
2006 - 2010 Lexus IS250 and IS350

12 WORST types of Facebookers...
Article from CNN.com
Thanks to John Landy for the link
CNN -- Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.
Facebook can be a great tool, and an occasional annoyance. What kind of Facebooker are you?
There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up. Then there are the other people, the ones who make you cringe when you see them coming. This article is about those people.
Sure, Facebook can be a great tool for keeping up with folks who are important to you. Take the status update, the 160-character message that users post in response to the question, "What's on your mind?" An artful, witty or newsy status update is a pleasure -- a real-time, tiny window into a friend's life.
But far more posts read like navel-gazing diary entries, or worse, spam. A recent study categorized 40 percent of Twitter tweets as "pointless babble," and it wouldn't be surprising if updates on Facebook, still a fast-growing social network, break down in a similar way. Take a CNN quiz: What kind of Facebooker are you? »
Combine dull status updates with shameless self-promoters, "friend-padders" and that friend of a friend who sends you quizzes every day, and Facebook becomes a daily reminder of why some people can get on your nerves. Watch as Facebookers reveal bugbears »
Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users:
The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
The TMIer. "Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.
The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.
The Sympathy-Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
The Crank. These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.
The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
The Obscurist. "If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.
The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.

This is wrong. so fricken' wrong
I only post this because bullying is real! This makes me so mad... mad that nobody stepped in quickly, that the second guy TRIED to hit the kid too? At least the kid who stopped that stepped in. Nice work for helping! But seriously?
DO NOT WATCH this unless you're prepared and comfortable with seeing a fistfight. So wrong.

Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi
Relatively few Hollywood marriages stand the test of time, so when one comes along that so clearly exudes love and sincerity, you tend to take notice. Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi were one such couple, and their 34-year marriage was a lesson in dedication and survival through good times and bad.
They led a relatively quiet life together -- for years spending most of their time at his horse ranch near Los Angeles, where he died Monday after battling cancer. But over the years, he's been outspoken in discussing the beautiful nature of their relationship

What are your taxi concerns? Forum it!
I was trying to find the City info on tonights Taxi forum, but I think I googled the presenters speech that you might here tonight... weird. Anyway, from the city of Calgary website: (link to survey at bottom)
Taxi Forum
Good evening everyone and welcome to the Community Forum.
Tonight we will discuss the latest draft of the proposed Livery Transportation Bylaw (or the Taxi bylaw). I would first like to introduce you to our panel for this evening's forum: Ald. Andre Chabot, Ald. Dianne Colley Urquhart, Ald. Barry Erskine, Ald. Helen Laroque, and Ald. Ric Mc Iver. I'm Ald. Ray Jones and this evening's facilitator.
I will give a brief overview of tonight's meeting and present how we will proceed. The intent of this evening's forum is to hear your concerns about the proposed final draft of the Livery Transport bylaw. Specifically, we are here only to listen to your concerns. This is NOT a formal meeting of council and NO decisions will be made here tonight.
We would appreciate it, if you would focus on the new bylaw in the areas of governance, licenses and regulations. If you wish to address other items such as fares, differential fares, limos and sedans please send us a note or take one of our business cards which are available from us. In reality we just won't have the time tonight to deal with everything.
We are here tonight to listen to your concerns and have no intention to be confrontational. We are trying to be proactive and positive and sincerely wish to hear the industry's wants in the new bylaw and not just what they don't like. We also do not want to hear about complaints or personality conflicts, if you remain focused, we will to.
A brief overview of the evening is as follows:
2 minute opening remarks by each Alderman
Taxi Industry overview by Mr Tim Bardsley
Questions by Panel
Comments by Brokers/drivers and society reps
Stakeholder concerns
Conclusion
Each speaker will be given 5 minutes and to be fair to everybody please be reasonable and try to stay in this time frame as we only have 2 hours and would like to hear from as many people as possible.
Also please do not get upset when I announce the cut-off time at 9:00 p.m.
I will now proceed with opening comments from my colleagues.
----------------
Sounds like a speech to me. if you can't go, there is a web survey.
