At Bay and Front Street just across from Union Station there was a group of men clad in shorts and a tie and not much else, I think they might have been Chippendales, promoting a charity called Moores Canadian Suit Drive where you can “Help others find their strong suit” (http://www.canadiansuitdrive.com/). Coming out of the PATH system into the sunlight at first I thought I was staring into a mirror, but no, there were more than just one reflection of me when I realized that it was a group of buff guys.


They had signs saying “Give the suit off your back” but I didn’t see anyone stripping down, which is good because they ask for the donations to be clean and on hangers. They are collecting everything from suits to shoes and ties to benefit at-risk men who are moving into jobs. Moores will even provide a 25% discount on your next purchase so drop by your closest Moores store by September 30, 2010 and help others in need.

Toronto's Live Green Street Festival is rocking the downtown as Yonge Street was closed to cars and the bands were playing at Yonge-Dundas Square. I caught part of Colin James playing a great set for the large crowd enjoying the festival which runs until 5pm on Sunday. There was even a bicycle powered stage with a lineup of performers.

Mayor David Miller says "With the Live Green Toronto Festival, we're taking another step towards living green in our city. I encourage all Torontonians to come to this event and learn practical energy-saving solutions for home and work and to find out about Toronto's programs for a greener city. Together we can make Toronto an even cleaner and more beautiful city."

Automobile industry has seen various changes in past few years. Trend for compact hybrid cars is at its peak now a days. Several new designs are shaped every day and there is lot more to come.
Peugeot Modif is a fabulous design for a hybrid car that will be very successful in small towns and tight places. It has a two tone color scheme and the center of this is the large rubber tube-like center shaft that allows the car to squeeze up to 88 centimeters and also provides the front of the car with flexibility to swivel from side to side 18.5 degrees for better drive.
I liked the design as it is different from traditional designs, it features white tires and large black chrome wheels with each tire having six special pads holding sensors to intimate the driver for adjustment of car according to road conditions. Inside each massive wheel is a powerful hydrogen hybrid engine. 80% of the material used to make is renewable, the a rubber element in the front part houses the oil, water and CPU.

The cockpit of the car is covered by a large bubble top one-piece window that provides the passenger and the driver with an unobstructed view up to 360 degrees. Rare view cameras on both sides constantly provide with the status of the road behind on a screen embedded on the dashboard. It also features a high-discharge red led emergency light on the top for you to cherish a V.I.P. feeling. The exhaust pipe is positioned in the center that only emits water.
