Book your Train ticket to Slovenia
|Lesce Bled
Slovenia's train network will get you to most of the destinations within the country.
The national railway company of Austria is known as the Slovenske železnice (SŽ). Slovenia has over 1,200 km of railway network. Train tickets for trains operating in Slovenia can be booked in advance. International trains connect Slovenia with neighbouring countries such as Austria and Croatia. Book tickets to visit main cities of Slovenia by train. Slovenian cities including Ljubljana, Bled and Maribor are all served by trains.
The picturesque capital Ljubljana is Slovenia's only city, so enjoy the eclectically influenced capital while you're there. After admiring the beautiful architecture and the young trendy inhabitants, take the Slovenia Railjet train service to Maribor, the largest town. Here you'll find the oldest vine in the world and plenty of shops and markets, as well as a beautiful waterfront.
Slovenia is only small, making it easy to accomplish a lot in your time there. Ski down snow-capped Alpine mountains and swim in the turquoise Adriatic on the same day. Slovenia's modern and efficient train system gets you around the city easily.
Take Home
Visit the tourist area of Postojna and the UNESCO site Škocjan to experience the caves and go crazy in the gift shop with trinkets and souvenirs. Otherwise the best shopping is in the capital, just over an hour away on the train from both sites.
Food & Drink
Slovenian food is heavy, meaty and plain. For something unique to the area try Kraški pršut, which is like Italian prosciutto, or štruklji, dumplings prepared in 70 different ways stuffed with sweet fillings, meat or vegetables. Try the Adam Ravbar beer, in Domžale, 1/2 hour on the local train from Ljubljana.
New Perspective
Get the adrenaline pumping with adventures in Posocje and Triglav National Park, where you can try canyoning, rafting and paragliding.

"We used the 3 country travel pass. When planning your trip, be sure to lay out all the days you will travel so that you can use the pass for the long journeys. Sometimes its easier and cheaper to get a day pass at the station when doing day trips and conserve on the number of days of your Rail Pass. It was convenient, good value for the money and nice to sit back and enjoy the scenery. "

New Jersey's largest utility company wants to spend nearly $4 billion over the next decade to stormproof its electric and gas system after Superstorm Sandy's high winds and devastating surge knocked out power to nearly all its customers last October.
PSE&G on Wednesday filed a proposal outlining plans to raise or bunker electrical substations in flood-prone spots, line old cast-iron gas lines with plastic and make other changes designed to prevent the kind of outages that affected most of New Jersey after Sandy struck.
"We could make incremental repairs," PSE&G Chairman Ralph Izzo said on a conference call, "or we could be truly prepared and make long-term investments."
He said it made sense to be bold now because, with two electricity surcharges due to expire over the next few years, the money can be raised without raising customers' bills.
Labor and business groups quickly announced support for the plan, which would need to be approved by the state Board of Public Utilities. Consumer advocates had reservations about the financial aspects.
Jennifer Kim, state director for the liberal consumer protection and environmental organization New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, said she doubts the claim that ratepayers won't see their bills rise. She also said she wants to make sure the project is closely examined and the company pays for some costs out of what it has already collected from customers.
"Shouldn't some of this stuff have been taken care of already?" she asked.
New Jersey, like other places, recently has seen more frequent and more damaging storms, including Tropical Storm Irene and an ice storm in 2011. During Superstorm Sandy, the state's worst natural disaster, 2 million of PSE&G's 2.2 million customers lost power as trees took down power lines and substations flooded. The company says 800,000 would not have been knocked out if the proposed upgrades were in place and the rest would have had service returned sooner.
For instance, company officials said the Newark Liberty Airport would have had a shorter shutdown after Sandy if the Newark electrical substation had been protected from flooding.
PSE&G serves about three-fourths of New Jersey electrical customers, including many in the Philadelphia and New York City suburbs.
The company said ratepayers would see no increases or small ones on their bills because of the two surcharges due to come off bills in the next few years. Thanks to lower natural gas supply costs, Izzo said, the average residential customer with gas and electric service pays about $2,400 per year to the company, $600 less than in 2008. He said the aim is that the bills would not rise because of the proposed project.
But the estimates do not include $250 million to $300 million the company needs to pay for repairs for damage caused by Sandy. It's unclear how those repair costs might be passed on to customers.
Generally, there's an incentive for investor-owned regulated utilities like PSE&G to invest in large projects such as power plants, transmission lines and substations because that's how they can best increase profits for shareholders.
Regulators allow utilities to earn a greater rate of return, typically around 10 percent, for big capital-intensive projects than for simply delivering electricity. The reason is that regulators need to give utilities an incentive to invest in big-ticket items that could improve the system. New Jersey does not have a set rate of return on infrastructure investments but rather decides them on a case-by-case basis.

OPEN QUESTION to Bob Wilkin at the Grace Evangelical Society
What could be more vital than the Deity of Christ when we talk about the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
This morning at the Grace Evangelical Society (GES) blog site I posted the Deity of Christ question to Bob Wilkin.
At the GES blog, GES staff member Jeremy Myers has twice dodged the question with redirects and double-speak. For a trained pastor to evade a question, that any first year Bible college student could easily understand and respond to, is unconscionable.
Following is my open question to Bob Wilkin at the GES blog site
Brother Bob:
I have a simple question that I am directing to you personally.
You are the Founder & Executive Director of the GES. I am hopeful that a man of your character, reputation and desire to seek truth will respond with an honest, transparent answer to this simple to understand, direct question.
Can a lost man be born again, while consciously denying the deity of Christ, if he believes in Jesus for eternal life?
Thanking you in anticipation of your reply.
Kyle Kaumeyer, of the GES, posted this note to me at the GES's official blog site.
"Bob is out of town at a conference and will not be back in the office until Tuesday. Once he is back in the saddle he will have time to respond to your question."

Kent Gene Davidson of Mitchell Pleads Not Guilty to Murder, Manslaughter
CHAMBERLAIN - A man accused of killing a Mitchell woman last month has pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges.
Thirty-six-year old Kent Gene Davidson is accused of killing 26-year-old Crystal Schulz. Her body was found March 14 in a shed at her mother's residence in rural Chamberlain.
Davidson was arraigned Monday at the Brule County Courthouse. He was shackled and wearing an orange jail jumpsuit with a white bulletproof vest under a blue hooded sweat shirt.
Davidson was indicted last month on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and manslaughter. A fourth charge alleges Davidson possessed a firearm while committing a felony.
Davidson requested a court-appointed attorney, and Circuit Judge Bruce Anderson appointed Sioux Falls attorney Clint Sargent to continue representing Davidson.
