The Peak debuted in June 1994 under the ownership of locals Keith and Betty Siebert and Pat Loewi, and by early the next year, the impressive Arbitrons earned by its minor variation on the Adult Album Alternative format were turning heads throughout the local radio community (to learn more, check out "Will the Peak Inherit the Earth?," February 1, 1995). So impressive was the performance, in fact, that Bob Greenlee, the founder of KBCO-FM/97.3 and a current candidate for Congress, exercised a contractual option he'd signed as head of an investment group that helped finance Loewi and the Sieberts and, in late 1995, took control of the signal himself. The Peak remained popular for some time after that, but subsequent deterioration convinced Greenlee to get his money out of the station while he could. As a result, he sold the operation in 1997 to Dallas-based Chancellor Media (owner of several other Denver radio properties, including KALC-FM/105.9 [Alice]) for a reported $26 million.
After the deal was done, the Peak's ratings declined steadily, eventually falling behind those of both KBCO and KTCL-FM/93.3, the Jacor-owned stations that have been its primary competitors. This tumble delighted Jacor types, who began suggesting that the Peak was about to go country several months ago and prompted Chancellor to ask the folks at SBR Creative Services, a powerful Boulder-based radio consulting firm, to come up with a plan to give the station a jolt. But the scheme that went into effect on October 12 isn't anyone's idea of a radical shift. The outlet's promos and links, built around the slogan "The Rockies New Rock," have a much sharper edge than before, and so does some of the music: The previous regime wouldn't have programmed Hole's "Celebrity Skin," for example. But in several days of listening, I heard only two or three songs that I didn't recognize instantly. Moreover, the vast majority of the artists highlighted fell into predictable categories: groups that you can hear on hard-rocking KBPI-FM/106.7 (Pearl Jam, Bush), bands that turn up on KTCL (Soul Coughing, Better Than Ezra) and acts that KBCO or the old Peak might spin (Sheryl Crow, the Cranberries). In its early stages, at least, the Peak sounds less like a bold alternative to current choices than an amalgamation of them.
Predictably, that's not how Strong, an SBR principal who's been overseeing the Peak since June, views things. "We saw a gap in the market," he says. "You have so many stations playing Eighties music--KBPI, KTCL, Alice--that there wasn't anybody strictly dealing with the new music that's out there right now. You have a lot of hot bands today, like Marilyn Manson, Everclear, the Beastie Boys and Third Eye Blind, and we want to give people more of them without having to sit through Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones to get to them."
This last comment can be interpreted as a shot at KBPI, which began splitting its airtime between modern rock and classic-rock staples from AC/DC, Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne during the middle of last year. But KBPI program director Bob Richards has an equally harsh assessment of the Peak's new approach. "I don't really see where there's room between KTCL and KBPI to jam a format," he says. "This strategy is new to me and largely unproven--and even if it weren't, I can tell you from my experience that using a library where nothing exists before 1990 is unsellable in this market."
Richards has a point. Earlier this decade, KNRX-FM/92.1 (92X), a small station headquartered in Castle Rock, burst onto the scene with an aggressive sound that hit home with the snowboarding crowd. Within months, KBPI's ratings began to slide, prompting Richards to alter his format in order to compete. Just as the competition was heating up, though, the owners of KNRX threw in the towel, claiming that the listeners 92X was attracting, most of whom fell between the ages of 18 and 24, weren't of interest to advertisers. (KNRX replaced the 92X format with a dance sound that didn't last long. The frequency is currently the home of syndicated Spanish-language programming dubbed Radio Romantica.) As soon as 92X was dead, KBPI brought back the older songs it had cut from its playlist in order to broaden its audience. "You can have all the 18-to-24 numbers you want and not make money from them," Richards says. "That's why it's a laughable strategy. There's no financial viability to it."
Strong shrugs off Richards's assessment. "As someone who's done formats like this at stations around the country, he sounds like someone who's worried to me," he says. "And he should be worried, because Chancellor is really behind what we're doing. On top of that, his whole staff is calling here and wanting to work here, because they're excited about what this station is doing."

"That has been a longstanding problem with the way police officers approach train investigations," says Craig LeVere, a sergeant with the Colorado State Patrol. "What we're training officers to do now is consider these train men victims." Law-enforcement officers now attend courses taught in conjunction with Operation Lifesaver, a national organization that works to educate drivers on the risks of contact with trains. The courses are designed to teach officers the unique requirements for dealing with train accidents. LeVere, who teaches some of the classes, says they are eye-openers for his peers.
The courses often involve officers taking a train ride so they can see things from an engineer's perspective. Much of the course involves changing old, highway-based policies. Instead of asking for a conductor's automobile license and registration, police now ask for engineering licenses and company identification. And while the names of crew members cannot be kept from a police report, officers use work numbers and addresses for contact information, reducing the chances of a survivor contacting the train crew. Cops are also taught how to properly conduct an investigation of a train accident, which can be crucial in later court cases. LeVere says crash survivors sometimes sue for damages from rail companies, even when those victims were clearly at fault. "I've been involved in some of these cases," he says, "and that's been frustrating for me. A guy doesn't stop at a stop sign and his wife gets killed, but now he's suing the railroad when he didn't do what he's supposed to do."
And more people are doing what they're not supposed to do. Population growth along the Front Range has increased the number of people trespassing on Colorado tracks--everyone from urban and suburban residents using tracks as walking paths to recreationists taking advantage of rails and tunnels as shortcuts to better hunting, fishing, hiking and kayaking. "That kind of activity is on the rise," says Eric Sondeen, a Littleton firefighter who volunteers as the state coordinator for Operation Lifesaver. "We're seeing a tremendous population increase in both our full-time population and our visitor population, and these people are putting themselves in harm's way."
Engineers say the Tunnel District, the region that stretches from the foothills west of Rocky Flats up through Eldorado Canyon and Winter Park, is a frequent site for Lycra-clad outdoor types to risk life and limb. Sondeen says the public's misconception that rail traffic is down may be leading people to hike along tracks and through tunnels. "There are more trains running more miles and carrying greater capacities than ever before," he points out. "The myth is 'There probably won't be a train here,' but the reality is 'There probably will be a train here.' What we're stressing is that people should always expect a train, at any time, in any direction and on any track."
In 1998, over half of the deaths on America's tracks were those of individuals illegally on rail-company property. In addition to clueless hikers, there's the problem of freight-hoppers. The majority of people who try to jump onto moving trains are, like Depression-era hobos, trying to catch free rides south in the winter, but when the weather warms up, railyard security guards see an increased number of "yuppie freight-hoppers"--misguided men who consider the activity a type of romantic, mythological sport. People who hang out in railyards for other reasons--photographers looking for artistic shots, for example--are killed by trains being moved about on the railyard tracks. They often have no warning, since today's welded-steel rails have eliminated the rhythmic track rattle of days past. Rail companies are doing their best to hold down the growing number of potential victims: Nationwide, Union Pacific reports, "trespasser evictions" increased from 42,800 in 1997 to 48,099 in 1998.
Even when trespassers escape injury or death on a train track, Sondeen says, these close calls are potentially deadly for a train crew. "The engineer doesn't know you're safe or if you're going to step off the track, and he has to make the decision of whether to put the train into emergency and put themselves and their load in jeopardy. And they need to make that decision a mile from where they see the individual on the track." Anyone willing to risk contact with a train, he notes, "is making a bad risks-to-benefits analysis."
The foolish behavior engineers witness daily is a source of constant frustration and potential danger. For starters, drivers fail to understand the optical illusion created by a train racing down a track. The train appears to be moving slowly, giving drivers a false impression that they have time to beat it through a crossing. They say the public is also unaware of the lengthy stopping distances trains require, distances that can reach up to a mile and a half for a loaded, 100-plus freight train or a high-speed passenger train. Especially frustrating for train crews is the fact that more than half of all train collisions with cars and trucks occur during daylight hours, at crossings where flashing lights and crossing gates are in place. More puzzling, a quarter of all train-car collisions involve a car running into a train that's already in the crossing.

Watch Anna Kendrick's SNL Promos
Anna Kendrick is making her Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, with musical-guest Pharrell. Here she is getting into the swing of things with Taran Killam, who would like to remind you that he's in this year's best-picture winner, 12 Years a Slave. Kendrick is pretty much a lock to sing something on the show, but Pitch Perfect is already jokey, and it seems late to do a "Cups" thing, so maybe her monologue? There hasn't been a musical monologue in a little while.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the concessionaire of Delhi Airport Metro Express, Reliance Infra have decided to go in for arbitration over their disagreements following detection of cracks in the line that resulted in the closure of the line in July.
Reliance Infra, which is a subsidiary of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, had earlier accused the DMRC of forcing it to use faulty chips in the underground section. The company has complained to the Union Urban Development Ministry that it was under pressure from the DMRC to use ssloh fastening clips for the underground section of the airport metro line in Delhi.
After an inspection of the line, it was found that about four per cent of the ssloh fastening clips were damaged. The company said that DMRC forced the concessionaire to keep the traisn operational even as it had identified faults in the line. Reliance Infrastructure said DMRC did not agree to a suggestion put forward by the company and put forward a list of companies to source clips and the list included Vossloh.
DMRC Chairman Mangu Singh said that the DMRC has not accepted DAME's request for restructuring and is now transferring the case for attribution. Reliance Infra CEO Lalit Jalan did not announce details about the restructuring being requested by the company.
The authorities had to close down the Airport Metro Line because of repairs after the company found serious faults in civil works and the clips that were used in the underground stretches of the line.

When her beach umbrella blew unpleasantly in the wind, she thought: 'Why can't these umbrellas be more like palm trees whose fronds wave in the breeze and don't break or go inside-out like plastic umbrellas?'
Provided that spark of inspiration, she invented the "Palmbrella," patented in 2007, and a product she is now trying to sell to Jimmy Buffett and his array of businesses.
Braithwaite felt a similar spark a few years back while sitting inside her North Port pool cage and feeling like she was in a real cage. She called her son, Danny, 36, a former Navy Seabee, and told him to dress it up.
"When I saw that cage, I couldn't stand it," she said. "It's like you're a bird sitting in a cage."
After six months of trial and error, her son accomplished covering the metal bars with decorative columns and arches formed out of heavy foam. This was in 2003, and the company Lanaique (pronounced lan-eek, like unique) was born, right in the midst of a building boom that was certain to bring the Braithwaites a fortune.
Except the prototype was completed just three days before Hurricane Charley, a storm that blew Lanaique and even its patent paperwork off the map for a while.
The Braithwaites fought against others stealing their idea, with their patent lawyer moving to the Villages where a tornado blew away the same paperwork that Hurricane Charley first destroyed.
The idea of Lanaique survived, however, and by 2009 the Braithwaites had a marketing agreement with Robb Stucky. But that deal, too, ended with the furniture company's bankruptcy this year, and Danny had to take a job as a commercial diver scraping barnacles off hulls of yachts to make a living.
"Unfortunately Robb Stucky is no longer with us, so we're not a startup but a start-over-again," he said.
In December, Lanaique's patent was approved, but Braithwaite said competitors who copy the idea seem not to know this. All and all, Danny estimated $500,000 has been spent on Lanaique, while they wait for construction to pick up or for someone to notice. In eight years, Lanaique has booked maybe two dozen jobs total.
"I just need one person to say to me, 'This is a really stupid idea, Peggy,' and it's over," Peggy said. "But no one will say that."
Now Lanaique is little more than a website with a flashy video. The fabricator in Bradenton that does Lanaique's foam work went from 20 employees down to three. Everybody seems to be waiting and hoping for better times, for the Palmbrella to catch on, for people to call for decorated pool cages.
"At some point it just becomes a way of life, and you don't think about the struggle so much," Danny said.

I began crocheting as a child when my grandmother taught me how to do a basic chain. Thoughout the years I played around here and there but never made more than scarves and one peice blankets.
When my best friend was expecting her first baby I wanted to make her something that her daughter could keep and use her entire life so I decided that I was going to make her a blanket. My love of crochet was reborn and I went on to teach myself how to make more than just glorified squares.
I never crocheted from a pattern, a lot of my work was frogged as I taught myself how to crochet from pictures. Eventually I did teach myself how to read a pattern and went on to design my own.
I began toying with the idea of blogging in the summer of 2012 but it wasn't until October of 2012 that I started really putting an effort into my blog. Since then I have grown a tremdous amount and have been on the road to making all my dreams come true.
I recently became the official crochet designer of a fantastic yarn company, Darn Good Yarn. DGY makes all of their yarns from completly reclaimed materials, helping to save the planet one hank of yarn at a time.
I am also extremely enviromentally concious and have started a new blog on natural living and parentng. www.cre8tiveliving.com
I hope you enjoy all my free patterns, tutorials, information on blogging and owning your own crochet business. My biggest goal is to help others achieve their goals in their crochet business'!
Have fun and as always... happy hookin'

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jolie!
Facts about Jolie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jolie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
My name is Jolie and my sister is Angelina. We are very close and would like to be adopted together. We love to play with toys and get along well with any other cats you might have. We like to sleep and cuddle together and would love to be a part of your home.
Other Pets at Flagler Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jolie, a Bunnell Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Bunnell, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Bunnell.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bunnell already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bunnell breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bunnell paves the way for another one to be saved.

Welcome grown-ups. We created this page to tell you everything you need to know about We Make Stories and membership.
We Make Stories, from Puffin UK, is a collection of digital tools for children to use to design and create exciting stories. There is one free tool with others available for members and only members can save and share their stories via the We Make Stories gallery.
Keeping children safe is our major concern. Members will be able to choose a user name which is the only identification that will be available on the site. While we do ask for an email address this will not be made visible anywhere on the site. Children can save stories into a moderated gallery and can email links to these stories to others.
Technical controls have been built into the tools to prevent insertion of potentially offensive words. If you have any concerns or comments about Online safety please email firstname.lastname@example.com. We encourage parents to get involved in the children's online activity - more information on how to do this can be found here http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/
At Puffin we believe that storytelling is an important skill which aides in the development of a child's literacy. The tools here have been designed to promote a range of storytelling skills and give children confidence in their ability to create stories. There are currently six different storytelling tools available with the possibility of further tools being added in the future.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Winchester, a Hanover German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Hanover, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Hanover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hanover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hanover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hanover paves the way for another one to be saved.

Homophobia at home
For a young person questioning their sexuality, it's important that they see parents or carers being sensitive to issues of sexuality.
Left unchallenged, homophobia can spread. If impressionable minds see homophobia being ignored by parents or carers, they'll think it's acceptable and carry on.
Homophobia can infiltrate our homes through social networking too. Often homophobic bullies use these online spaces to spread rumours about someone or exclude them.
For an LGB couple sharing a home, they can also be the target of homophobic hatred. These couples may find their home is the target of vandalism, or malicious gossip and rumours. If this has happened to you, or you know its happening, REPORT IT!
What can be done about it
If you're a parent and you hear your child using homophobic language, ask them to think about how they might feel if they were in the position of being different in some way and were being called names or bullied because of it.
Challenging and responding to homophobia is the only way we can stop this hatred damaging our friends, our families, and our loved ones. The fight against homophobia can start at home.
If you're the victim of homophobia in your home from neighbours, report this immediately to the police.
If you are finding life difficult at home because your family don't accept you, or you are afraid of what might happen if you tell them, call The Lesbian & Gay Foundation on 0845 3 30 30 30.

True Custom Builders Inc. reclaimed an office space in the Bradley Professional Building, converting the third floor to the Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatology Center.
Downtown Design Studio was in charge of redesigning the offices.
Architect Doug Caywood has been involved in a number of reclamation and renovation projects.
The Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatology Center is located at 2253 Chambliss Ave., Suite 300.
True Custom Builders put Downtown Designs plans in place and took action to construct and finish examination rooms, a cosmetic reception and treatment area, lobby, office space and other amenities.
"In response to a growing practice, the center expanded into a 6,569-square-foot space which includes 10 exam rooms, a cosmetic reception and exam area, lobby for 54 people, nurses' stations, lab, and a provider area," Caywood said.
"The space is organized with a central nursing station and lab with the exams rooms positioned around the perimeter. Built-in storage is provided throughout the lab and for sample storage and for trays," Caywood added.
A large waiting area is inviting for patients, and provides direct entry into the cosmetic dermatology waiting area and exam room. Existing wood paneled walls were integrated into the lobby with a new client check-in window.
Each exam room is designed with one of four floor tile accent colors and is equipped with custom millwork with integral waste containers.
The same four colors are used throughout the circulation areas.
The Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatology Center relocated to the new offices from the second floor of the Bradley Professional Building.
Cleveland office manager Jason Nicholas said everyone moved seamlessly into the new space during the weekend and it was open for patient care by Monday.
The center offers aesthetic dermatology care, surgical and nonsurgical procedures for cancer treatments and other skin care services.
Cleveland is one of six offices in Tennessee and Georgia of The Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatology Center.

About ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. watch video >>

LW.12148 / LW.12149 Professor Jason Schultz Professor Lee Rowland Brett Kaufman, Fellow Open to 2L and 3L students Maximum of 10 students |
Fall semester 6 credits* Pre-requisites/Co-requisites: None, but courses in privacy, intellectual property, or First and Fourth Amendment law will prove useful. |
With technological advances driving greater social, economic, and political change—from access to information, health care, and entertainment to impacts on the environment, education, and commerce to facilitating greater surveillance by law enforcement agencies—issues related to privacy, consumer rights, free speech, and intellectual property are becoming increasingly critical and complex.
The Technology Law & Policy Clinic is a semester-long, 6-credit course that focuses on the representation of individuals, nonprofits, and consumer groups who are engaged with these questions from a public interest point-of-view. It involves a mixture of fieldwork and seminar discussion ranging from technology law and policy to the ethical challenges of representing public interest organizations.
Course Description
Approximately one-third of the students in the clinic will work with the teachers of the clinic and the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy & Technology Project on issues or cases currently on the Project's docket. Representative matters include:
- Challenging suspicionless searches of laptops at the international border. The ACLU has been involved in two lawsuits, House v. Napolitano and Abidor v. Napolitano, arguing that the government's policy of conducting purely suspicionless searches and seizures of laptops and other electronic devices of travelers at the international border violates both the First Amendment right to free speech and the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
- Filing public records lawsuits to inform the public about government surveillance programs. For example, the ACLU has litigated Freedom of Information Act requests to force the disclosure of records regarding the warrantless tracking of the location of people's cell phones.
- Challenging unconstitutional Internet filtering. The ACLU has been involved in a challenge to a library system's refusal to disable its Internet filters to allow adults patrons to engage in uncensored sessions of reading and research, and has also challenged public high school filtering policies that block access to pro-gay speech while allowing access to websites that condemn homosexuality.
The other two-thirds will work with Prof. Schultz in representing clients on additional public interest issues primarily focused on intellectual property topics. Past representative matters include:
- Filing briefs in important copyright cases such as Viacom v. YouTube (arguing that overzealous enforcement of copyright will censor independent and experimental video artists), Authors Guide v. Google (arguing that courts should protect the privacy of online book readers), UMG v. Augusto (arguing in favor of consumers' rights to resell CDs on eBay), Eldred v. Ashcroft (arguing for First Amendment limits on the term of copyright protection), and Coupons, Inc. v. Stottlemire (arguing that the First Amendment protects posting information online concerning computer security issues).
- Counseling open source software, open science, and DIY makers to develop appropriate licensing mechanisms that allow for creative and scientific advances to remain publicly and globally available for research and educational use.
- Filing patent oppositions on behalf of non-profit and public health groups to stop pharmaceutical companies from artificially inflating the price of life saving HIV drugs in poor countries.
- Filing comments and testifying before the U.S. Copyright Office in favor of exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to allow for non-commercial remixing of DVD content and "jailbreaking" of smart phones, tablets, e-book readers, and videogame consoles in order to facilitate scientific research, competition, and access to amateur "homebrew" computer programs.
The seminar will include readings and discussions, student presentations of projects for discussion and problem-solving workshops, guest speakers on relevant topics, and other exercises designed to expose you to the practice of technology law in the public interest.

My father used to tell me that he grew up in a fairyland, a place where dolphins frolicked in clear aqua seas, where children played freely on cobblestoned streets, where cypresses and olive trees tufted thousands of tiny islands. It was only when he took me, at the age of 10, to Croatia's Dalmatian coast that I discovered he was talking about a real place. The islands of his youth had barely changed since he emigrated to America in 1964. I remember drawing water from the well to heat for my bath, and picking limes with my grandmother in the garden, using her skirt as a basket.
I've been back several times, and recently returned to get an adult perspective on my recollections—and my father's. I made my base the island of Pag, our ancestral home, and took day trips by boat throughout the Kvarner gulf, essentially the northern third of Croatia's Adriatic coast. The region still seems preserved in amber, a place belonging to a simpler, quieter era.
The landscape of Pag is like the surface of the moon. Its east side, made up of bleached and porous white stone, is virtually devoid of animal or plant life. As a child, my father would clamber over this eerie terrain to watch the sun rise from behind the Velebit mountains on the mainland, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. I do the same on my trips back.
Pag is an irregularly shaped island about 39 miles long; over the millennia the Adriatic has carved its perimeter into dozens of caves, grottoes, and tiny beaches, some accessible only by boat. I love to swim in the hundreds of uninhabited inlets near Metajna, a town on the eastern part of the island. The water is turquoise, and sea horses play in the tall sea grass: it's like bathing in a meadow. Just past the town is a konoba—a small family restaurant serving grilled seafood and meat—called Kanjon. A father and his sons built it entirely by hand, from the wood furniture to the steps that lead down to the sea. Nearby is Caska, one of Pag's first villages, founded in Roman times. An earthquake sank most of it about 900 years ago, but you can still see its watery remains, and for the past 50 years the sea has been graciously returning some of the ancient wall to the shore. There's a hip konoba on the beach called 3 Suns, whose proprietor, Davor Skunca, speaks perfect English and plays tapes of everything from Lou Reed to Ella Fitzgerald, with Croatian folk music to fill in any gaps.
The town of Pag was built in 1443 as a fortified settlement for the Venetians, who had muscled in to take over the island's lucrative salt trade. The center is a tight grid of streets surrounding a marble-paved square. In summer, the outdoor cafés come to life and old ladies in dark dresses sit in the alleys outside their houses, making traditional Pag lace (paski cipka) on black cylinders. Pag is also known for its sheep's-milk cheese, paski sir, which owes its sharp yet delicate flavor to the sage that grows all over the island, seasoned by salt breezes.
Novalja, where my family still lives, is a popular town for young people, and in July and August it hums virtually around the clock. Outdoor cafés pepper the shoreline, serving Dalmatian and Istrian cuisine: grilled fish, shellfish, and lamb cooked with pungent olive oil, garlic, onions, tomatoes, white wine, and vodka.

I could hardly believe my ears when I listened to what his judge had to say about religious expression.
So why hasn't that Judge been brought up on charges as of yet and be brought in front of the Bar Licening Board of review so they can at least threaten to remove his Law License for violating the 1st Amendment with his ruling, and his unethical lecture as well. He has taken an oath to uphold American Constitutional law, not Sharia law. This Judge no matter wat his religion or faith is need to be brougt up on charges and sent to the BAR Licensing Board, perhaps he would be forced to turn in his License to practice Law or Judge people just like Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were in Illinois for their fraud violations as well.

Over the next few years, more and more electric cars are expected to be seen on our roads as consumers take advantage of government grants to promote the vehicles and cheaper models being released by manufacturers. However, this is not just a UK initiative, countries all over the world are introducing infrastructure and subsidies to promote these environmentally friendly vehicles. But what is the current state of the electric car industry and how big is it actually going to become?
Here, we take a comprehensive look at what is going on in the world of electric cars, from the models coming on to the market in 2011 to futuristic concept cars; from information about what countries taking a lead on battery-operated transport are doing, to sales targets, as predicted by the OECD and the International Energy Agency in a recent report.
Available in the UK in 2011 and 2012
Reva G-Wiz i Electric
Londoners will already be familiar with the G-Wiz, which is popular in the capital as it is exempt from the congestion charge. Its 13 kW motor gives a top speed of 50 mph and a 10 kWh battery provides a range of almost 50 miles. As a "quadricycle" it does not qualify for a government grant – but still gets the full congestion charge discount. Available now, price: from £9,995.
Smart fortwo ed
As a two-seater, the fortwo makes an ideal electric city-car. With a 30 kW motor, the fortwo is capable of 0-38 mph in 6.5 seconds and is speed limited to 62 mph. The 16 kWh lithium-ion battery takes 8 hours to slow-charge, which lasts for 80 miles. On limited lease in 2011, with full roll-out in 2012.
Renault Twizy
With its tandem-style seats and catchy looks, the two-seater Twizy "quadricycle" is something different. A 15 kW version with a top speed of 46 mph and a range of 60 miles is planned for release in the UK. Available for 2012 delivery – expected price: £7,000 plus £40 a month battery lease.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV
The i-MiEV's 47 kW motor rear-wheel drive gives a top speed of 80 mph, and the 16 kWh lithium-ion battery provides a 90-mile range. Recharge times ranges from 7 hours using a normal domestic supply to 30 minutes to hit 80% capacity with a special rapid charging point. Price including grant: £23,990.
Peugeot iOn Electric
The iOn forms part of Peugeot's innovative "Mu" mobility short-term rental service (membership required). While the iOn is an ideal city runabout, it can also keep up with the fastest motorway traffic. Available now on lease: £415+VAT/month including battery, servicing and warranty.
Citroen C-Zero Electric
You are likely to first experience the C-Zero in a rental setting as part of the Europcar fleet. On-board innovations include "regen braking", which extends the drivable range. Available now on lease: £415/month including battery, servicing and warranty.
Tata Indica Vista EV
The Vista is the first EV from Indian car maker Tata – and will be built in the West Midlands. The 26 kWh of lithium-ion batteries provide a 100-plus mile range, and the 50 kW motor gives a top speed of 70mph. On trial in 2011, the Vista EV will be launched in 2012.
Renault Zoe
The Zoe is a Clio-sized car designed primarily for city use. Powered by a 60 kW (80 bhp) motor, range will be about 100 miles. Three charging options are planned: domestic charge using 13A socket (6-8 hours), rapid charge (80% in 30 minutes) or "quick-drop" (battery exchange). Available 2012 – £14,500 (after grant) plus £70 a month battery lease.
Nissan Leaf Electric
As European Car of the Year 2011, and oozing with quality, the Leaf is the first purpose-built, electric hatch. With 24 kWh of lithium-ion batteries, the Leaf has a range of about 100 miles. While most owners will charge at home overnight, a 30-minutes charge to 80% capacity is possible using a rapid charger.
Tesla Roadster Electric
With the Roadster, Tesla changed the game, and with it the fortunes for the electric car. Based on the Lotus Elise, the Roadster has the most impressive performance of any EV: 248 bhp (185 kW) motor; top speed 130 mph; 0-60 in 4 seconds; and a range of over 200 miles. Available now at £87,000.
Renault Fluence ZE
The Fluence ZE will be the largest car in Renault's forthcoming EV range. The 70 kW motor will give an electronically-limited top speed of 84 mph, and the 22 kWh lithium-ion batteries will propel the vehicle for 100 miles. Available 2012. Expected price: £22,000, plus £70 a month battery lease.
Renault Kangoo Van ZE
The Kangoo Van ZE has the same carrying capacity and payload as the conventional Kangoo van. Its 44 kW motor and 22 kWh battery provide the ZE with a top speed of 80 mph and a 100 mile range. Available autumn 2011 – price: £16,990+VAT with £59 a month battery lease.
Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
Following the success of the Prius hybrid, Toyota has developed a "plug-in" version, which can be recharged using electricity as well as refuelled conventionally. The 5.2 kWh lithium-ion battery provides an electric range of 12.5 miles, after which the car returns to hybrid mode.
Vauxhall Ampera
The Ampera is the first plug-in electric car of its kind – in addition to the 30-40 mile electric range provided by the 16 kWh lithium-ion battery, a small 1.4 litre petrol engine is used as an on-board generator to provide an additional 310 miles of use.
Electric cars – what we could be driving in the future
The latest concept cars are exploring the mobility needs of the future. With road space a premium, the car of the future may be smaller than you think.
One such model is Kia's city-car concept, the Pop. While similar in size to Toyota's iQ, it seats two at the front with room for a third on the diagonal in the rear. Smaller still is the Peugeot BB1 and the Toyota FT-EV II, designed for urban use but with room for four. These concepts also experiment with "butterfly", sliding or reverse opening doors to make access easier in a tight spot.
More radical is Nissan's Pivo 2. All four wheels are able to rotate allowing it to drive in any direction. Parking becomes a breeze as the wheels simply rotate through 90 degrees, enabling it to move sideways into the space. The cabin also rotates allowing the three passengers access from any direction through the Pivo's single door.
Smaller again is Nissan's "Zero emission mobility concept", a two-person, emission-free vehicle for urban journeys. Similarly, Honda has designed the 3R-C, a one-person, three-wheeled battery electric vehicle, which draws on their expertise in electric motors. As a vision of future urban transport, General Motors has developed the EV-N, a two-seater that uses Segway's gyroscopic technology to enable the vehicle to stand on just two wheels, enabling it to complete a full circle on the spot.
As part of this philosophy, expect to see more "thin cars", which use a tandem-style seating pattern. The Renault Twizy, for example, which was featured at this year's Geneva Motor Show, is an average 30cm thinner than the typical micro city car, with a turning circle of just 3.4 metres. Like the Lumeneo Smera it tilts like a motorcycle when cornering, and could do for traffic jams what the Smart Fortwo did for parking when launched in 1998 – less could certainly be more.
Predicted global sales of electric vehicles
To reach 2050 CO2 reduction targets, sales of electric vehicles must rise rapidly. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released figures that show how this growth can be realised when global sales spread to non-OECD regions.

A nice place to stay. Cathy is a great cook! We ended up eating dinner one night at the house and it was delicious. The service is great and both Cathy and Jim are very helpful. Would definitely recommend to others. Only negative is the mosquitoes outside this time of year. Would have been nice to be able to sit outside but the mosquitoes were unbearable!
Respuesta del propietario
Thanks for staying with us. I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and your visit to our B&B.
Unfortunately, this rainy, rainy Spring has brought out the mosquitoes more than usual. Sorry they were such a nuisance. While we love to be outdoors, they've managed to drive us inside, too. Hopefully your next visit will be in a "skeeter-free" time of the year.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Brickhouse on Main for three glorious nights. I have stayed in a lot of B and B"s and this one is the best I have ever visited. This grand home is sparkling clean, the guest rooms and the entire home is beautifully appointed with antiques, beautiful wood floors and a huge, new, period bathroom. The hosts, Cathy and Jim Marker are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The little, town of Gnatenhutten is Main Street, USA with Amish country just a short drive away. Don't miss the big, comfy, chair at the top of the stairs for reading good book or a cat nap! I can't wait to go back.

I recently stayed at Brick House on Main for a weekend. The house has a deep sense of peace and a quietness I am unaccustomed to living in a big city. Not only was it nice staying in a room without a TV, the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in - like a chorus of angels cradled me and gently sang me to sleep. Knowing how good breakfast was going to be was the only thing to entice me out of bed in the morning. The french toast made with homemade bread! The caramelized pears! The delicious coffee! The amazing spread of food each morning gave me the strength to get through my day as I toured wineries and amish country. Jim and Cathy made me feel at home in the short time I was there, and I will happily stay there when I am in the area again.

Stayed with Cathy and Jim for many weeks while transitioning to a new job in the area. They made the move to a new area much more enjoyable. Room felt like home and the breakfast and conversation each day started my day off right. Couldn't have been better.

My friend and I stayed at the B&B for 2 nights in the bay room. We had a excellent stay. The house is amazing. A beautifully restored Victorian with a fascinating history. The innkeeper Cathy and her husband were very friendly. I felt as if part of her family. The room was huge and furnished nicely with antiques. We slept well and awoke to a delicious breakfast. Ask her to make the baked oatmeal with fruit.

MENTOR, Ohio (AP) — Reaching for the finish line, Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama embarked Saturday on the final 72-hour haul of their long, grinding quest for victory, swatting at one another over what should motivate Americans to vote, which candidate they can trust and offering dueling pictures of what the next four years should bring.
Romney sprinted through a New Hampshire-to-Iowa-to-Colorado day faulting Obama for telling supporters a day earlier that voting would be their "best revenge."
"Vote for 'revenge?'" the GOP candidate asked in New Hampshire, oozing incredulity. "Let me tell you what I'd like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place."
The Republican nominee sounded the same message in Iowa and released a TV ad carrying the same message.
Obama, campaigning in the uber-battleground of Ohio, countered with a final reminder that Tuesday's election is "not just a choice between two candidates or two parties, it's a choice between two different visions for America." The president offered himself as the candidate voters can trust, renewing his criticism of Romney for what he said were misleading ads suggesting that automakers were shifting U.S. jobs to China.
"You want to know that your president means what he says and says what he means," Obama told a 4,000-person crowd in northeast Ohio. "And after four years as president, you know me."
The president urged voters in an overflow room to shepherd their friends, neighbors and girlfriends to the polls to vote early, tacking on this very practical caveat: "You should convince them to vote for me before you drag them off to the polls."
Campaign spokesman Jennifer Psaki said the president's revenge comment was nothing more than a reminder that if voters think Romney's policies are "a bad deal for the middle class, then you have power, you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot."
Whatever their motivation, 27 million Americans already have cast ballots around the country.
On the last day of early voting in Florida, voters at some sites in Miami-Dade and Broward counties were waiting up to four hours to cast ballots. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., asked his state's Republican governor to extend early voting at least through Sunday, citing "an untold number of voters being turned away or becoming too discouraged to vote."
Vice President Joe Biden spoke for all sides when he told a crowd in Arvada, Colo.: "Man, I'm so ready to win this election."
Before leaving Washington, Obama tended to presidential business as he led a briefing at the government's disaster relief agency on the federal response to Superstorm Sandy. He said the recovery effort still has a long way to go but pledged a "120 percent effort" by all those involved.
"There's nothing more important than us getting this right," Obama said, keenly aware that a spot-on government response to the storm also was important to his political prospects. Then he began his own three-state campaign day.
After holding mostly small and midsize rallies for much of the campaign, Obama's team is holding a series of larger events this weekend aimed at drawing big crowds in battleground states. Still, the campaign isn't expecting to draw the massive audiences Obama had in the closing days of the 2008 race, when his rallies drew more than 50,000.
In a whiff of 2008 nostalgia, some of Obama's traveling companions from his campaign four years ago joined him on the road for the final days of his last campaign. Among them are Robert Gibbs, who served as Obama's first White House press secretary, and Reggie Love, Obama's former personal aide who left the White House earlier this year.
