Officials at Clarum decided the free hybrid would do more for the environment than a price cut on the homes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b1291d92551e5c93995fce7897ccfc30\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* OddPlanet_300x250_underpost *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8431788844\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  ( function() {\r\n    if (window.CHITIKA === undefined) { window.CHITIKA = { 'units' : [] }; };\r\n    var unit = {\"calltype\":\"async[2]\",\"publisher\":\"dragonden\",\"width\":550,\"height\":250,\"sid\":\"oddplanet\",\"color_site_link\":\"cf4343\",\"color_text\":\"333333\"};\r\n    var placement_id = window.CHITIKA.units.length;\r\n    window.CHITIKA.units.push(unit);\r\n    document.write('<div id=\"chitikaAdBlock-' + placement_id + '\"><\/div>');\r\n}());\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/cdn.chitika.net\/getads.js\" async><\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dancing Ipod Robot TOKYO Now, you can not only dance to the music on your iPod, you can dance with it, too.
