SMUGGLERS' NOTCH, Vt.- Vermont ski and snowboard resorts embrace the return of winter just in time for the holiday weekend.
Joy Duncan and her family drove from Massachusetts to ski in the Green Mountains.
"We come every year, usually Martin Luther King J.r. weekend," said Duncan.
This year Duncan says she thinks it's pretty busy despite last week's thaw.
"You know it's what Mother Nature gives you for the year and some years at this time there's a lot of snow and other times there's rain. So it's not predictable, but they do the best they can with the equipment they have and it's still great for the kids," said Duncan.
At Smugglers Notch there was a long line waiting to hop the chair lift to hit the beginners slope.
"The mountains bounced back pretty quickly," said Tommy Smith, the Sales and Promotion Coordinator at Smugglers Notch.
Smith says the ski season started off strong with a lot of snow in November and December. So while last week's weather wasn't ideal, it didn't destroy the base.
"There's no perfect time for rain- but if we were going to get it- we made it through the holiday season as far as with Christmas all the way through New Year's. And then obviously Martin Luther King weekend is one of our bigger weekends of the year, so we were glad to see the temperatures dipping where we could make snow around the clock," said Smith.
Crews are making snow to keep up the 12 to 18 inch base of natural snow that already exists.
"With the snow making capabilities we've been holding on just fine," said Smith.
Smuggs has almost half their trails open this holiday weekend but Smith says attendance is still strong with much of the resort booked up.
And despite the lack of natural powder Duncan says her family still enjoys hitting the slopes.
"It needs a little bit more snow, but the trails are great - what they have open, great for the kids, so we are just getting our ski legs going this year," said Duncan.
Other resorts are reporting a good start to the holiday weekend as well.
About 50% of the trails are open at Stowe; while 74% of the trails are open at Bromley Mountain.
But Mad River Glen isn't as lucky, the main resort is closed due to the lack of natural coverage.

Mike Tolzin plants corn on April 25, east of Lake Preston, S.D., on his first planting day of the year. He was one of the early farmers in his area to get started on corn. A wet, late planting season has prompted Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., to request crop insurance planting deadline extensions for corn this year and other early spring crops in 2015.

The town of Jonesborough closed on the Jackson Theatre on May 2, according to Mayor Kelly Wolfe. (File Image/Johnson City Press)
Though no action was required from the Jonesborough Board of Mayor and Aldermen, they were nevertheless present when the public learned one of the town's longer-running projects had reached fruition.
On Monday, after a scheduled BMA meeting, Mayor Kelly Wolfe revealed that, after two years of lobbying, fundraising and waiting, the town was able to purchase one of its landmark buildings.
"The town of Jonesborough owns the Jackson Theatre," he said.
With the theater in the town's possession, Wolfe said he hoped that after renovations were completed, the building could be restored to serve as an outlet for cultural arts in Jonesborough.
"We're really looking forward to the theater, the use of the facility, independent films and ... musical concerts," Wolfe said. "It's the perfect facility to complement so many of the things we're already doing."
Wolfe said the town began to explore the possibility of buying and renovating the theater, which was owned by a private citizen, in 2012. After exploring the private sector, the town then petitioned the state for the necessary funds, which at the time was $484,000. Gov. Bill Haslam included $500,000 in the 2013-14 budget to go toward the purchase, but that money was voted out of the budget by the state Legislature.
Then, in April 2013, Haslam advised the town to seek federal funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission, a joint state and federal agency aimed at community and economic development in the Appalachian states. The ARC awarded a $270,000 grant to Jonesborough, provided the town could provide a 50 percent match. Along with the $270,000 match, Town Administrator Bob Browning chose to seek $15,000 in additional funds, citing a need to pay attorneys' fees, title work and closing costs.
After receiving the necessary funds from a Bank of Tennessee loan 10 days ago, Wolfe said the town closed on the building.
"After a quest like we had to go on to purchase that building ... you had to question whether or not it was going to happen," Wolfe said. "(It) lasted over two years and had its highs and lows. Now we couldn't be more excited."
Although the town is the building's sole owner, Wolfe said it would take time before the initial dream of a place for concerts and independent films is realized.
"We're going to be doing some budget work to help figure out not only the cost of the project, but how we'll afford the project," Wolfe said. "There are several things, once we get into the new fiscal year, that we'll be deciding and hopefully moving forward on."
Also at the meeting:
• The board voted unanimously in favor of a resolution authorizing the town to receive $400,000 in grant money to apply toward the town's Wastewater Improvement Phase II Project. In his presentation to the board, Browning said the money was needed to address unforeseen costs — to upgrade a sewer pump station upgrade at Persimmon Ridge Park.
He requested it in the form of a grant or a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program, which had already provided $815,600 in grant money to go toward the $2,210,000 project. The program then provided the town with the $400,000, although, according to Browning, they had another option.
"It's ... important to acknowledge that they had the loan funds," Browning said. "They could have loaned us the money, but they chose to give (grants)."
Wolfe added that he, too, recognized the gesture from Rural Development.
"They've been phenomenal to work with," Wolfe said. "We don't see things like this happen very often, but when we do, it's important to say thank you."
• The BMA approved the establishment and membership of the McKinney Center Advisory Committee, an unpaid — with the exception of Alderman Adam Dickson — nine-member panel that will oversee the town's Mary B. Martin Program for the Arts.
• The board agreed on a re-issuance of a certificate of compliance for two Bristol-based developers to assume control of 11-E Wine & Spirits liquor store, though not without some resistance. Although the new owners' certificate had previously been approved by the BMA, the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission rejected it because of a clerical error.
While the developers' initial request passed during the board's March meeting by a 3-1 vote, the aldermen were split in their decision Monday, with Chuck Vest and Terry Countermine voting yes, while Homer G'Fellers and Dickson voted no. Wolfe's yes vote served as the tiebreaker.

We spend a lot of time discussing bars, and there are many elements that we like to see on modern systems. Much comes down to personal preference
Bar Guide 2015
Ozone Edge 6M 2015
The Edge is a classic for sure. It's not for unhooked riding and it doesn't specialise in kite loops, but if you want to boom and enjoy the feeling of hang-time in kitesurfing, there are few kites that can do that as well as the Edge
RRD Passion MKVII 9 & 7M 2015
The Passion is a great hooked-in flying machine and jumps very intuitively. Within ten minutes you'll be really enjoying the Passion if you can already kitesurf
Ozone C4 10M 2015
The C4 has a reputation. In the world of bros, it hangs with Dre and Snoop. It has a history of wakestyle legitimacy on the edgier side of bridled kite design and has been as close to true C kite genetic feel in terms of how it delivers power as any bridled kite out there
North Vegas 9 & 7M 2015
The Vegas is insanely good for any rider looking to seriously progress in freestyle as it allows you to break yourself in steadily and yet has all that jumping performance that took Aaron to the King of the Air along with highly-tunable C kite performance
Naish Torch 9 & 7M 2015
The Torch is an absolute classic. Punchy, aggressive and very quick to react, the direct connection is still there
Airush Razor 9M AP Edition
The Razor will ideally suit a dedicated and dynamic new school freestyler who is not just looking for a steady chugger
Slingshot Misfit 136 2015
In terms of ride the Misfit is fairly stiff, but not overly so. Giving you a solid platform to get up and going, the ride quality makes sense
Shinn Monk 135 Lover Edition
The Monk! What a precedent this board set for the freeride category when it first came out making crappy conditions feel like powder for intermediate riders and beyond
Shinn ADHD 137 2015
The ADHD is more than just a wakestyle board and this year, apart from the obvious graphics changes, it essentially looks the same at first glance

Hello, BCA! I am blessed to be starting my fourth year at this school. I feel it has been a privilige getting to know the families thus far and look forward to meeting many more to come. Teaching has been a part of my life in various ways throughout my life. My previous career was in dance. I was both an instructor and performer. I loved being in my studio and reaching the children through movement and expression. I cherished the relationships built with the parents throughout the years. Upon closing my studio it did not take long to realize that dance was a gift, but teaching (and learning from) children was my passion. That is how I came to be an education teacher, earning my Masters in Elementary Education and Masters of Teaching from Grand Canyon University.
My husband, Michael, and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage. We have two ornery children, Max 12 and Jane 6. We enjoy watching America's Got Talent and Malcolm in the Middle reruns as a family. The kiddos enjoy swimming and playing MineCraft. Max's golden retriever is named Lady and Jane's Yorkie-poo is named Marvin.
My belief in the Lord Jesus is a continually developing relationship. It is truly a blessing to know that whatever life brings me, eventually, I can pinpoint the Hand of God and the direction He chose for my path. Jesus loved and showed that love to the children who surrounded Him. It is my prayer that I can share that kind of unconditional love with those of my new First Grade Family. We are all children of God. I pray you feel my support and I am honored to be joining your child's team. Blessings on this new year!
Years at BCA: This is my second year at Brice Christian Academy.
Qualifications: I graduated from Otterbein University in 2013 with a Bachelors of Science in Education degree. Previously I was the reading specialist and this is my first year as a classroom teacher.
Philosophy: Every child should have the opportunity to learn and succeed to the extent of their ability. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. The most rewarding part of teaching for me is seeing a child overcome obstacles and succeed with a smile on their face. I enjoy watching the light bulb moments.
Personal Life: In my free time I enjoy running, exercising, and just being active. I have been an athlete for most of my life and I use these skills to teach outside of school helping with sports such as volleyball and track. I also attend St. Paul's Catholic Church in Westerville. I was born and raised Catholic and also attended a Catholic school from pre-school through eighth grade. I believe it is important for students to receive not only their academic education but also to learn about their Christian faith.
Years at BCA: This is Mrs. Smith's 6th year at BCA.
Qualifications: Bachelors of Science in Education from Ohio University.
Philosophy of Education: Children learn best through song, dance, and hands on experience.. I believe learning should be fun, yet effective, meaningful, and at their ability level.
Christian Testimony: Christ has always been a part of my life, both as my savior and my friend. I grew up in Christian home where I learned about the Bible, the love of the Lord and how powerful the two combined were. I'm now working in a school that is dedicated to educating the mind, body and soul. What a great way for me to practice my faith and share the love of the Lord!
Personal Life:
I'm currently living in Pickerington with my husband Brad and 2 children, Macey (5 1/2 ) and Jansen (2 1/2). We attend Shalom United Methodist Church in Carroll. We have a passion for traveling and exploring tourist attractions in towns we travel to. We love family time together! Whether it's cooking at home or soaking our toes in the sand, as long as we are together we'll have a blast.
I love being around children and watching them learn. The most amazing reward as a teacher is to see a child discovering his/her own talent and knowledge.
Years at BCA: Mrs. Carney began working at the BCA in 2001.
Qualifications: Mrs. Carney earned her Bachelor's of Science Degree in Elementary Education from The Ohio State University. She is licensed to teach Kindergarten thru eighth grade. She has submitted her Master Teacher portfolio and will be the first teacher at the BCA to receive this endorsement from the state of Ohio.
Christian Testimony: I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in 1978. By reaching to the Holy Spirit, He guides me daily and influences my direction in life.
Philosophy of Christian Education: I believe that each and every child in our classroom is a miraculous gift from God. It is our mission to instill Biblical teachings in all areas of the curriculum. I believe we must reach each child and inspire him/her to maximize their potential as Jesus has taught us to do while we are His stewards on earth.
Personal Life: Mrs. Carney is the proud mother of Brent, who is a college student. Her son attended the BCA from Kindergarten through the 6th grade. The Carneys are members of Peace United Methodist Church in Pickerington.

I have been very involved in Appalachian Service Project (ASP), and had the opportunity to travel to Eluethera, Mexico and Costa Rica with church mission groups.
Personal: I grew up and currently live in Gahanna, Ohio. I enjoy playing my trumpet and love reading novels.

Qualifications: I received my teacher's certificate in 1980. from UTEP. I taught in The El Paso Public Schools and the Ysleta Public Schools for a total of 5 years. We made a move to Ohio for my husband's work in 1988. My time here was spent raising three young boys. I eventually returned to teaching as a substitute in the Pickerington Schools. After 6 years of subbing, I joined Brice Christian Academy as a 4th grade teacher. I am starting my 8th year here at Brice.
Christian Testimony: I was born into a loving home with parents who took me to church each Sunday. I was raised in the Methodist Church. Life got tough in my early 20's and I found myself seeking the Lord for comfort through my trials. As life continued on I discovered that the commintment I made to Christ when I was young was not enough. Being a Christian was more of a process then I had realized. So, over the years, I have taken steps to grow my faith. My goal is to be less like me and more like Jesus. The unthinkable happened in our family 4 years ago. Our eldest son, Ben, passed. He was only 22. It was a hard time in our life. But, an amazing thing happened. My husband and I held on tight to the Lord. And the Lord gave us PEACE. And my husband and myself grew even closer together. And our resolve to serve the Lord became stronger. I know that my son is in heaven, and he is safe with the Lord. And we look for the day when we will once again be united with him in heaven. For know, serving the Lord, however he calls, is our life goal.
Personal Life: Bob and I are celebrating 30 years of marriage in January. Paul and Andrew our are earthly sons. We attend Grace Fellowship on Refugee Road . We enjoy playing cards, watching all the Cleveland sports teams(Cavaliers, Browns, and Indians), hiking, and traveling.

We live in Stoutsville and attend Village Chapel United Methodist Church. I have always gone to church and have strived to live a Christian life. I was baptized at a young age because I knew I wanted to follow Jesus Christ, my lord and savior.In the past, I taught 6th grade math and science for 2 years at a charter school in Columbus. I am looking forward to teaching at Brice Christian Academy.Teaching Philosophy: I believe every child can learn and that we must work together to find what makes that children learn the best way possible.
Education: Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio University
Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana Bible College
Experience: Taught for 5 years at Calvary Christian School in Indianapolis, Indiana
I began teaching at BCA in 2011.
I believe that education should be valued, and that every child should be given a chance to improve themselves through learning. My family's motto has always been "If it is to be, it is up to me!" What a child/family does with this educational opportunity is up to them, but I will do my best to instill a love of learning into my students.
I have attended church all my life. I received the Holy Ghost when I was six in a barn that had been renovated for Children's Church. When I was eight, I decided I wanted to be baptized. Life is not easy, but God has always been there with me and for me even when I have gone to different countries on mission trips. I now attend Turnpoint Apostolic Church in Groveport, Ohio.
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Andy, since October 2011. Our son, Samuel, joined our family in 2014. I am part of a family of six that is constantly growing with nephews, nieces, and in-laws.

We are active members of Eastland Christian Church where I am involved in the youth and music programs. I love camping and hiking with my family and enjoy reading and singing in my spare time.
I fully believe that God has equipped each child for a purpose and that each child is capable of success. My purpose is to encourage each one to fulfill that purpose and to give them the tools they need for success in the classroom and beyond. God placed me here for a reason and I am thrilled to be able to share my love of learning and my love of God with your child.
Years at BCA: Mrs. Martin began working at BCA in 2008.
Qualifications: Mrs. Martin earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Ohio University. She is licensed to teach K-8th. She earned her Masters of Arts Degree in Teaching Performance from the College of Mount St. Joseph.
Christian Testimony - I accepted the Lord as my Savior in 1972 after being witnessed to by my neighbors. The Holy Spirit totally changed my way of life. With His help and guidance I am able to share the gospel with others.
Philosophy of Christian Education: I believe that my job as a teacher in a Christian school is to provide an atmosphere where children will see and experience God's love for them, to provide the gospel so they may come to accept Him in their hearts one day, and where I have prepared them academically to be able to fulfill His calling for their lives.
Personal Life: My husband, Michael, and I reside in Groveport where I taught for thirty years in the public school system. I have two adult boys of my own, and Michael has one adult boy and one adult girl. Together we have several grandchildren ranging from high school down to 5th grade.

Teaching Philosophy: "In the art class, students not only learn about art processes, materials and artists. The themes and activities support classroom learning, develop thinking and problem solving skills; practice sharing ideas and opinions as well as appreciating the work of our Master Artist: God."
Years at BCA: I have worked at Brice Christian Academy and Brice Church Preschool for 15 years.
Qualifications: I have worked with children for 25 years. I was a Teacher,Trainer and Assistant Director at a local daycare. I have attended many classes through the years as well as classes through Columbus State.

Philosophy of Christian Education:Our goal as christian educators should be to support
the children in their walk with Christ. We should also be aware of children in their special talents and needs and accept them accordingly. I see christian educators many times go the extra mile to help a child or to support a parent in times of trouble or for a shoulder to cry on. I believe when these things are accomplished the children will take what they have been a part of and take it into the world.
Personal Life: I am married to Matt. Newcomer (Our Kindergarten teacher). My son, Michael attends Central Ohio Technical College and is taking Law Enforcement. My time away from school is spent with family and friends. My hobbies are; drawing, reading, exercising and traveling .I also enjoy watching college football (Go Buckeyes!)

Lady Lever Art Gallery
The Lady Lever Art Gallery was opened in 1922 by Princess Beatrice who was the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria; the museum was founded and built by the industrialist and philanthropist Lord Leverhulme. The museum is a significant surviving example of late Victorian and Edwardian taste. The Lady Lever Art Gallery is set in the garden village of Port Sunlight. It houses major collections of fine and decorative art, along with many of the world famous Pre-Raphaelite artworks and Chinese ceramics and Wedgwood jasperware. The collections are an expression of Lord Leverhulme's personal and favorite taste. He also mainly bought pictures which in his opinion would attract the housewives who were his main customers. He began collecting art in the late 19th century to use as advertising for the popular Sunlight Soap brand that helped to create his fortune therefore at this point he was collecting arts for business, but as he grew richer his collections began to expand, his confidence grew as well and had developed a taste for collecting. He mostly collected British art, he was also fascinated by Chinese art i.e. Chinese porcelain, Roman sculpture and Greek vases which he had chosen to collect to show the certain styles that had influenced British artists in the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. The Eighteenth century furniture found its way into his collection and can also be seen on display. The Gallery is famous for its Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Millais, Rossetti and Burne-Jones and holds works by Leighton, Turner, Constable, Gainsborough and Reynolds.
The Grade II listed gallery is part of National Museums Liverpool.[1]
The collection includes:
- A Dream of the Past: Sir Isumbras at the Ford
- Bubbles
- Cromwell on his Farm
- The Black Brunswicker
- The Blessed Damozel
- The Scapegoat
- Several examples of New Sculpture including works by:
The Building[edit]
Commissioned in 1913 from architects William and Segar Owen, the Lady Lever Art Gallery was built in the Beaux-Arts style. [2]

The Seahawks and Colts might want to find a way to make their rookie quarterbacks feel more at home when on the road.
Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck have been very steady in their home stadiums — Wilson has been sensational — but it's a whole new quarterback when each travels.
It's hard for any quarterback to play well in Gillette Stadium against Bill Belichick and the Patriots, but Andrew Luck had a nightmare day, turning the ball over four times with three interceptions and one lost fumble. Two of his picks were returned for touchdowns. Luck has 10 interceptions on the road, and only two in Indianapolis.
Wilson embodies his team. The Seahawks historically have been a much better team at home than on the road, and he is one of the best signalcallers in the game looking simply at his home statistics.
After playing major college football, though, harsh environments shouldn't be new for these quarterbacks. Luck had to play in Autzen Stadium, Wilson had to play in The Big House.
Their rookie counterpart, Robert Griffin III, has not been fazed when playing away from FedEx Field, having pretty comparable numbers on the road. Browns QB Brandon Weeden actually has been better on the road, and Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill has been slightly better in South Florida.
Here's a breakdown of the five rookie quarterbacks and their home and away splits:
Rookie QBs
Robert Griffin III
68.0%, 6 TDs, 1 INT, 101.7 QB rating and a record of 2-3.
66.4%, 6 TDs, 2 INTs, 100.3 QB rating and a record of 2-3.
Andrew Luck
56.9%, 8 TDs, 2 INTs, 88.6 QB rating and a record of 4-1.
57.1%, 4 TDs, 10 INTs, 65.4 QB rating and a record of 2-3.
Ryan Tannehill
58.2%, 3 TDs, 4 INTs, 70.4 QB rating and a record of 2-2.
58.0%, 3 TDs, 7 INTs, 71.1 QB rating and a record of 2-4.
Brandon Weeden
50.9%, 3 TDs, 9 INTs, 50.1 QB rating and a record of 2-3.
59.0%, 8 TDs, 3 INTs, 87.6 QB rating and a record of 0-5.
Russell Wilson
62.2%, 11 TDs, 0 INTs, 122.0 QB rating and a record of 5-0.
62.0%, 4 TDs, 8 INTs, 65.8 QB rating and a record of 1-4.
Griffin's big day against the Eagles put him back into the lead for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Luck and Wilson will need to show consistency down the stretch and can't afford turnover-filled games on the road.
1. Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (first round, second overall)
Last week's ranking: 3
In a blowout win over the Eagles, RG3 completed 14-of-15 passes for 200 yards and four touchdowns, good for a perfect passer rating of 158.3. He also had 12 carries for 84 yards.
2. Colts QB Andrew Luck (1, 1)
Last week's ranking: 1
Luck completed 27-of-50 passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. He also lost a fumble in the Colts' loss to the Patriots.
3. Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (1, 31)
Last week's ranking: 2
Martin rushed for 138 yards on 24 carries (5.8-yard average) and had four catches for 23 yards in the Bucs' win over the Panthers. Martin has reached 1,000 yards rushing, which is good for third in the league.
4. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (3, 75)
Last week's ranking: 4
Wilson and the Seahawks were on bye in Week 11. He takes on the Dolphins in Miami in Week 12.
5. Buccaneers LB Lavonte David (2, 58)
Last week's ranking: 6
David had nine tackles, including his rookie-high 13th tackle for loss in Tampa's win over the Panthers.
6. Packers CB Casey Hayward (2, 62)
Last week's ranking: NR
Hayward had four tackles, one interception and five passes defensed in Green Bay's win over the Lions. Hayward is tied for second in the league with five interceptions and leads all rookies with 14 passes defensed.
7. Panthers LB Luke Kuechly (1, 9)
Last week's ranking: 9
Kuechly notched 10 tackles and a fumble recovery in Carolina's loss to the Buccaneers. He is third in the NFL and first among rookies with 97 tackles.
8. Redskins RB Alfred Morris (6, 173)
Last week's ranking: 5
Morris carried the ball 20 times for 76 yards and had a seven-yard catch in Washington's win over the Eagles. He is 131 yards away from reaching the 1,000-yard plateau this season.
9. Browns RB Trent Richardson (1, 3)
Last week's ranking: 7
Richardson had 28 carries for 95 yards and led the Browns with six receptions, which went for 49 yards on eight targets, in their loss to the Cowboys.
10. Patriots DE Chandler Jones (1, 21)
Last week's ranking: 8
Jones left Sunday's win over the Colts with an ankle injury and his status for Thursday night's game against the Jets is in doubt. He is second among rookies with six sacks.

Olympian who ran sub four-minute mile – and still runs today at age 65
Last updated at 09:35, Friday, 24 August 2012
I ALWAYS knew I could be a four-minute miler, I just knew I could be a good runner, you're given certain gifts and it's up to you to make the best of them – says former Olympic 1500 metres star John Kirkbride.
At the age of 25 the Whitehaven athlete competed in the 1972 Munich Games, tragic for the massacre of the Israeli athletes but also fateful for John as only bad luck in the heats denied him the chance of a coveted place in the 1500 metres final.
His story goes back a long way to the days growing up in Mirehouse and, like a lot of other young lads going to the town's Murray Boy's Club, learning the values of life – and sport.
Back from the London 2012 Olympics, living with wife Lyn in the idyllic surroundings of Grasmere, John recalled: "When I was 16 I went on this fantastic course. Derek Ibbotson and his wife was there (Ibbotson was mile world record holder in 1957). I went with West Cumberland Athletics Club, I ran with his best lads (he was coaching them) and later Derek wrote a letter to my mum and dad saying 'he's got to come and live with us'....he said I could live with them, get better training and become really good.
"However, at the time I had an apprenticeship and you really had to think about having a job if you were going to move away. What's funny is that when I was competing in the Commonwealth Games (Christchurch, New Zealand '74) Derek came up and said 'do you think you could have been even better'?
"I said 'I don't know really' – okay if I'd left Whitehaven sooner I might have reached my peak earlier but who knows? What I do know is that I'm glad I never missed my athletics career – after all there wasn't much else in your life that gives you the highs that sport does."
Not even his eventful engineering career spanning 16 years in far corners of the globe working with Taylor Woodrow International in places such Africa and the Far East.
Mr and Mrs Kirkbride – Lyn is a Whitehaven girl (nee Prowse) – have lived in their lovely home in Grasmere for the past 18 years, John having retired as Shepley Engineers' chief engineer at Westlakes in 2007.
He says: "At first when I finished running Lyn and I first worked on a house at Sandwith when I was still at Distington Engineering but I left there and went to Sellafield for a couple of years before joining Taylor Woodrow International and going oversees
"As a mechanical engineer I worked on a couple of big plants in Ghana over three years, then spent a year back in London when our son David (now living in Australia) was born; we were sent by Taylor Woodrow to a place called Brunei, not a lot of people had heard of Brunei, but the Sultan of Brunei was the richest man in the world. I was there to open a Taylor Woodrow office, and were there for three years working for both the Sultan's wives building luxury apartments.
"In nine years we also built water treatment plants, sports centres, all kinds of things. Later in Malaysia I was marketing manager for the Far East, working in Vietnam for weeks on end, Indonesia, Thailand.
"However, I have to say Grasmere is perfect. I run round the lake two or three times a week with a friend from the village and his dog."
Back on the track, and John Kirkbride was invariably ranked in Britain's top three milers, his two big rivals (and friends) being the other two: Brendan Foster and Peter Stewart.
John recalled: "Once when Brendan came over to Whitehaven to train he said 'I can't believe how you can train here – my God, Kirk, you should be coming over to live here (North East) and train with us, how can you train here alone' (mind you Lyn was inevitably down at the county sports ground with the mandatory stop watch).
"Nowadays," he went on, "you'd have to be a fulltime runner to compete at a high level; when I finished fourth in the European Championships I was driving a thousand miles a week in my job, down to Birmingham, all over the place."
John was nearly 27 when he ran in the world record 1500m race at the Commonwealth Games in '74 – but several Achilles tendon operations finally brought an end to an illustrious career.
Besides competing in Olympics, European and Commonwealth Championships, World Student Games, also winning British Universities championships, two of Kirkbride's most satisfying races were in 1969 and 1970. First of all winning the famous 'Chubb' invitation mile for his first sub four- minute mile (3.58secs) then the following year at Crystal Palace when he clocked 3.57secs to beat John Whetton. And it was one of the fastest times in the world that year.
John and Brendan Foster were really fierce rivals – Foster, he says, "was a hard character to beat, he hung on for grim death, we had some battles and managed to beat each other. Actually I had a much better 800 time and was faster than Brendan but looking back I don't think I exploited the speed I had."
John and Lyn loved their time in London at the 2012 Games but reflected ruefully on some of the schedules.
"In my time you had to run the 1500 heats, semi-final and final in three days, a speed person needs to have fantastic endurance to come back the next day, now they've brought science into it with ice baths and all the recovery techniques.
"Down in London the runners had the heats one day, then a day's rest and, semi final another day's rest and then the final.
"So basically my heat at Munich was probably my undoing, I was trying to take it a bit easy and stroll through when I got bumped out, someone put an arm across my chest and just kinda stopped me dead in my tracks."
Would you have the appetite to start again, I asked him?
"Oh yeah. You'd do things a bit different, but looking back I don't think I sacrificed that much to be honest."

They say the ideal method for reducing the appearance of wrinkles is to spritz them with a little bit of water and then slap the wrinkles out, which requires a considerable amount of elbow grease. Though some may think this a useful technique, others speak from experience when they say that there's a good chance your face will be smacked into painful oblivion. Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate your face in a pain free and professional way with today's Groupon: a cleansing facial and Botox facial expression mask for R248 at ICE Cosmetics.
There's no reason why ironing out wrinkles can't be as painless and easy as ironing a pair of undergarments. In fact, according to ICE Cosmetics it should come even easier. Equipped with a workforce of professional, make-your-face happier-than-happy therapists, treatments are administered with great skill, ease, and in record time. These specialists don't mess around with half-baked old housewives' tales like filling faces with the flesh of 53 avocado pears.
Shoving avocado pears aside, the cleansing facial and Botox facial expression mask is a non-invasive and painless treatment. Adhering to a "no pointy shaped objects allowed" rule, the procedure doesn't require the use of any needles, meaning that even fearful phobia-pots are welcome. After a soothing and revitalising cleanse, the ICE Cosmetics specialists will expertly apply a Botox facial expression mask which relaxes the tissues and in turn reduces expression lines, wrinkles and furrows. As opposed to a Botox injection, the treatment is pain and risk free and delivers results within 24 hours. After the one hour treatment, your face will feel smoother, firmer, and will be happier and more radiant than a solo rabbit in a ready-for-harvesting carrot field.
With this Groupon entitling you to one treatment session that lasts up to one month, professionals recommend that you continue on a monthly basis. Alternatively, Clients can buy a Botox kit from ICE Cosmetics and will be taught how to use it in the comfort of their own home. No irons, spritzers or hands made of steel are required.
Did you know? In Ancient Egypt, only royalty was allowed to apply make-up to their faces. Anyone else with so much as a dirt smear on their face was sent into the dessert, where the first Egyptian cosmetics school was eventually formed.

King Abdullah and Crown Prince Salman are the end of the brood; only a couple of possible remaining half brothers are suitable.
An uncle and his family resided in another house and his aunt and her brood in a third.
Subsequent investigation showed that he had set up a patronage operation to benefit his own brood.

Middle Dutch broet, Old High German bruot, German Brut "brood"), literally "that which is hatched by heat," from *bro- "to warm, heat," from PIE *bhre- "burn, heat, incubate," from root *bhreue- "to boil, bubble, effervesce, burn" (see brew (v.)).

Textile plants called maquilas are considered to be one of the main driving forces of Guatemala's economy. But behind the factory doors lies a world of overworked and underpaid workers, with no job security and virtually no rights. A "maquiladora" gave us her account.
Guatemala exports more than $1.5 billion (1.08 billion euros) worth of garments every year, mostly to the United States and Europe. There are currently 156 listed maquilas in the country, most of which are Korean-owned. According to the Guatemalan texile and clothes industry commission (VESTEX), over 56,000 people are employed directly by maquilas.
However, despite a "code of conduct" elaborated by Vestex in 1996 to ensure fair working conditions for all maquiladoras (textile workers) and signed by over 120 maquilas, a study carried out by French NGO "Medecins du Monde" (MDM) in 2010 showed that many employers do not comply with the code's required standards, which are voluntary, and not mandatory. Most maquiladoras work 11 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week, for less than the legal Guatemalan minimum wage. What's more, MDM estimates that 90% of "maquiladoras" have been subjected to verbal or physical violence in their workplace at least once.

Stories like this are all to common. I don't understand how the legal system in these countries do not step in to support the workers. Yes, many of these governments are corrupt, but if they only realized how much more of an economical influence it would have on their countries by treating the workers right. I have to believe there are employment attorneys in these countries who would fight for these workers so the discrimination they are receiving stops.
I must say that they are real workers , who work to make amazing gaments, such as suits, shirt, jeans, and mens ties , all of us should admire them and should support them in tough conditions.
Do worry we are with you.
i have read article and have realized that its very alarming situation for workers whom their employers are not paying according international rules it is really humiliating and causing a bad repute for us.we should think about it
You know it is really a truth and what is wrong concerning this topic, making clothes is their way of earn money and that is good. Can you make uimapuku by your own hands or not?

2. Crack the egg gently on a flat surface.
TIP: Cold eggs are easier to separate.
3. Working over one of the bowls, gently pry the eggshell halves apart.
4. Keep the yolk in one of the eggshell halves and allow the whites to run over into the bowl below.
5. Gently transfer the yolk back and forth between the eggshell halves and allow as much of the whites as possible to drip into the bowl. Take care not to break any part of the yolk.
6. When you're done, you will have the egg whites in one bowl. Pour the yolk into the other bowl if you plan to use it or dispose of it with the eggshell halves.

Draft Strategies
What would you do?
You're facing a defining situation. Whatever player you draft, has to be a star. Anything less than a star player will be a bust as the number one selection. This pick should define the look of a pitiful franchise and keep you from drafting in the top-5 next season, hopefully keep you out of the top-10. If you are one of the people with heavy input on this pick, then it could cost you your job in 3 years. This pick could turn out to be Jamarcus Russel. You can't have that. You better not pass up on that player drafted late in the first that ends up better than everyone else (Ray Lewis, pick 26-1996), even though a Lb will probably never go first overall.
How does your Big Board shake out?
Is it strictly based off talent or is affected by need? Are you going to draft the B.A.P. (Best Available Player), regardless of need? Will you put a premium on positions that have less depth in this draft? Will you reach for that "Franchise QB" that could put your career and your team in motion for the next 10-12 years? He could also cost you your job. It's a lot of money for some 22 year old that's never played a down in the NFL. Maybe you draft the guy that agrees to the cheapest contract because your owner forced you. We'll ignore that for this article.
Let's go through some scenarios.
The Best Available Player route should do fine for anyone. You've spent months pouring over film and you've made your Big Board in order of talent. You know for a fact that this guy is the best single talent in the draft. If he doesn't fit your scheme, you change your scheme. He's that good. Take the guy with #1 next to his name on your board. That simple.
Least Likely to Fail. This is understandable. You see your Big Board and maybe their is a quarterback at the top, but you have a terrible offensive line. This new quarterback wouldn't last behind that line. No one would. So you draft a Left Tackle, even though the LT was 3rd on the Big Board that you made based off of talent, the line took priority. This is a smart move, but you maybe could've traded back and recouped draft picks.
In the even that you were not able to trade back, well you did what you could. You got a guy that you and your scouting department have determined to be a 8-10 year starter at a pivotal position in football. Unfortunately, the draft is about acquiring value and you left some on the table for your opponent to get. What if that was Peyton Manning? I hope you drafted Johnathon Ogden.
Oh, this one's fun. The QB, the one that will save us all. Does this certain QB have "it"? This is one of the hardest decisions in sports: Determining if the young, college kid that has all the tools can transition into an elite player at the most important position in sports. Peyton Manning had all the tools but lacked elite arm strength. The Colts drafted him over Ryan Leaf, who had the strength. I think they did it because of Peyton's mind for the game and willingness to compete. He is elite in both of those areas. You are thinking about taking a QB first overall. He will be thrown into the game week 1. There's at least a 90% chance of that happening. Will he take too much of a beating behind your line? Can he make your WR's better? Chances are that you drafting first overall means your WR's aren't the best. Can this kid handle the media pressure? He'll be on Sports Illustrated. He'll be expected to resurrect this team within a year (not my expectations, but fans are impatient on average). Has he ever failed before? Can he bounce back from these failures? It's a big decision. Does QB take precedence over all-out talent? The Rams face that decision this year. QB or Ndamukong Suh (DT from Nebraska)?
My Take
I take talent. I would never want to see the talent I passed on be superior to the talent I drafted. That makes me a BAP guy.
Draft Strategies
If you're smart, you draft lineman before WR's. Inside the lines to the outside the lines. Put a premium on hard to find line positions such as LT and RE (right end). Draft a top-notch C over a slot WR. Patriots Pro-Bowl WR Wes Welker went undrafted to the Dolphins. Speed is available later but the truly good lineman aren't.
On another note, the truly elite RB's are almost always first rounders, but if you have an elite line and a pretty good RB-you are praised for your drafting skills. The Jets line in 2009 was amazing and 3rd round rookie Shonn Greene looked every bit amazing running behind it in the playoffs. Point proven.
This is how former Lions GM Matt Millen drafted, and probably still would. Calvin Johnson was drafted in the top-5. He has top-5 talent. I'm a big fan of him. I think he can have Randy Moss type impact. The problem is that when you're drafting in the top 10 for consecutive years in a row, you are doing something wrong.
2005: Lions select WR Mike Williams of USC at 10th overall
2006: Lions select LB Ernie Sims of Florida State at 9th overall
2007: Lions select WR Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech at 2nd overall
2008: Lions select RT Gosder Cherilus of Boston College at 17th overall(original pick was 15th, before trades)
2009: Lions select QB Matt Stafford of Georgia at 1st overall
Four out of five years, the Lions found themselves drafting in the top-10. They didn't draft the premium guys that could turn the franchise around. Draft Linemen or the QB you really believe in. Draft "Inside-Out".

Oil bunkering criminals should be prosecuted
The outgoing commander of the Joint Military Task Force on illegal bunkering, Major General Johnson Ochoga, did some chest-beating recently. In arguing that the challenge of containing the activities of the oil thieves is enormous, Ochoga said that the task force has succeeded in reducing the volume of theft from 9.5million barrels per day to about 1.5million per day. He added that nearly 2000 oil theft suspects were arrested within the Bayelsa zone alone in the last two years. Considering the difficult terrain under which JTF operates and the fact that what they deal with is an organized crime with international dimension, the effort of Ochoga and his men must be commended.
Yet an important question arises from this revelation: where are the criminals he claimed were caught in his tour of duty being tried? If we are to sustain the efforts at tackling illegal oil bunkering and pipeline vandalism as Ochoga and his men did, it will be determined to some extent by applying the stick to all those who undertake the thriving business of hacking into pipes for crude. In other words, those charged with the theft must be prosecuted and those found guilty given adequate punishment to serve as a deterrent to others.
The huge cost to the economy due to illegal oil bunkering was recently captured by Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who gave chilling statistics of what the country was losing daily as a result of the activities of oil thieves. According to her, these nefarious activities now account for about 400,000 barrels of crude per day. Last April alone, this amounted to 17 percent fall in official sales. Of course, both the Shell Petroleum Development Company and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) dispute these figures. But even their own estimates of loss of between 150,000 and 180,000 barrels per day, approximating to seven percent of production, is still very huge.
This was the point also emphasised by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu when as the Chairman of the National Taskforce on Petroleum Revenue, he spoke about how the country had been bleeding due to massive oil theft. "Security is responsible for up to 30 percent loss of revenue to the country one way or the other. And right now we are being told by so many of the players that we are losing close to 200,000 barrels of crude oil per day. If you put that into arithmetic, you know how much we are losing," he said.
Even if the figures are a little exaggerated (indeed, the country does not know the exact number of barrels it produces) the implication of the arithmetic is that more than a trillion naira is lost every year to the gang of criminals, not to mention the loss of lives and damage to the environment.
Despite the rhetoric, the menace is growing in the level of skills and sophistication even as the criminals become more daring. This is partly because there are many law enforcement agents who are easily compromised. More worrisome is the fact that the trials of these suspects are often impeded by the interference of some influential individuals who may themselves be complicit in this highly lucrative criminal enterprise. As a result, many of the trials are abandoned midstream and the rates of conviction not only low, but do not reflect the numbers and the seriousness of the costly crime.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the agency assigned with the job of prosecuting oil bunkering criminals, seems to be overwhelmed. We urge the agency to sit up, work closely with security operatives and go after these local and foreign criminals who are bleeding the economy. For the foreigners among them who come to our country to make easy money through crimes, they must be made to face the full wrath of our laws.

Oil rig explosion causes disaster in Gulf Of Mexico
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Thursday) | Listen to this entire show:
Last week on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a $600 million exploratory oil rig, the Deepwater Horizon, sank into the Gulf of Mexico following an unexplained explosion two days earlier that killed eleven workers. The fire that followed the explosion burned for 36 hours before the entire rig broke apart and sank, exposing a drilling opening in the Gulf floor that officials now say may be leaking approximately 5,000 barrels a day from three different leaks. The rig was set up 50 miles offshore from Louisiana and operated by TransOcean Ltd under contract to oil giant, B.P.
Crews have been unsuccessful in multiple attempts to stem the flow of hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil that continue to gush from the blowout on the sea floor. In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard indicates that B.P. may be â90 days out from securing the source permanentlyâ and this morning, B.P. said it would welcome help from the U.S. military in attempts to contain the disaster.
Currently, the spill covers an area slightly larger than the state of West Virginia (over 28,600 square miles) and can now be seen from space.
The oil slick is moving towards the barrier island communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and northwest Florida in the northern Gulf and is projected to hit land as early as tomorrow.
Weâre joined now by Dr. Stephen Smith who is director of the Southern Alliance For Clean Energy- a group committed to sustainable energy ⦠heâs written about the growing disaster on his web site Cleanenergy.org and hereâs his reaction to the spill.

"Remaining hydrated is of primary importance during the warm weather," said Lucy Macina, MD, Chief of the Division of Geriatrics in Winthrop's Institute for Family Care. "Often, seniors feel cool, even when the temperature rises. As a result, they could miss the signals of becoming overheated."
Drinking plenty of fluids during the summer can help prevent heat-induced illness such as heat stroke, according to Dr. Macina.
Warmer weather also means the return of the dreaded mosquito and renewed concerns about West Nile encephalitis. Older adults should follow the same precautions as others regarding the avoidance of
insect bites.
"It is extremely important that seniors know the symptoms of encephalitis and seek medical attention immediately should they experience those symptoms," Dr. Macina noted. "That is because the disease can be more serious in an older person."
Precautions include ensuring that window and door screens are in good repair, avoiding the outdoors in the early dawn and dusk hours when mosquitoes are most active, and using insect repellant when outside for extended periods.
Dr. Macina's advice to assist her patients in enjoying their golden years in good health includes paying attention to available vaccines. "Flu shots are offered in the fall, but pneumonia vaccines can be given at any time," she stated. "Tetanus vaccine is also important and needs to be given every ten years. Seniors can receive
the tetanus shot at any time of year and should keep their medical records up-to-date to ensure that they are well protected against illness."
Winthrop's Division of Geriatric Medicine is a key part of its Institute for Family Care. In addition to
primary and preventive care geared to the older adult, the Division offers the RISE (Referral, Information,
and Support services for the Elderly) Program to help seniors and their family members navigate the healthcare system. RISE sponsors support groups for adult children and well spouses, provides individual and
family counseling and assistance with placement in long-term or assisted living facilities, and coordinates a free monthly lecture series, "Health Update for Seniors and Their Families." For additional information, please call (516) 663-2588.

Job market for Arizona's youth is improving
PHOENIX -- Economists said the jobless rate among young adults could cost the U.S. about $20 billion over the next 10 years.
While Hillary Clinton has formed her own posse targeting the problem, Arizona is working on it, too, beginning with Valley mayors' initiative to improve graduation rates, and job fairs targeting 16- to 24-year-olds.
"We just had one through the City of Scottsdale, a teen-opportunity expo, focusing on companies that are looking to do just that," said Theresa Maher with Phoenix-based Jobing.com. Many of those companies are still hiring.
Lately, Maher said city parks, hotel and restaurants, as well as retail stores, were posting jobs aimed directly at young adults, many offering management growth programs. She said Jobing.com was hiring, too.
These days, Maher said, more corporations target younger new hires, "because we find candidates of that age don't really have the bad habits to break and they're eager to get started in the work force."
That fresh attitude can help younger candidates not only land a first job, but also keep it and progress into the next generation of managers.

I just spoke with an aide to Sen. Chris Dodd about my story on the amendment threshold in the Wall Street reform debate. He said that he did not believe Senator Dodd would place a 60-vote threshold on every amendment that comes to the floor.
First, a slight clarification. As the aide stressed to me, any amendment can be subject to filibuster. Democrats could require cloture on Republican amendments, and Republicans could require cloture on Democratic amendments. But what happened in the health care debate was something entirely different. In that debate, Democrats and Republicans agreed that every amendment would need 60 votes to pass. Essentially, they combined the cloture vote and the vote on the amendment into one standard that held for every vote. This was done via agreement between the Senate leadership on both sides of the aisle and the managers on the bill.
So when I was talking about a 60-vote threshold, I was talking specifically about Dodd and Shelby, via an agreement, putting this second option, with a single vote needing 60, on all amendments. And this is what Richard Burr, speaking with Hill reporter Mike Stark, said would happen in the FinReg debate. But the Dodd aide told me, "I don't think that's going to happen." In other words, while individual amendments could be subject to filibuster at the discretion of individual Senators, there would not be a blanket, 60-vote threshold required for any changes to the base bill. Dodd would not be alone in creating such a threshold; that would be worked out through agreements with his counterpart Richard Shelby, as well as the Majority and Minority Leaders. But the aide basically said that Dodd wouldn't support such a standard.
That's very good news indeed, and while it doesn't mean that big changes to the bill won't be a long haul, it does mean that the possibility exists for majority-vote changes to the bill, rather than a more artificial standard which assumes a filibuster on everything.

The thin-and-light Ultrabook trend has even clunky laptops looking relatively sleek these days. Micro Express' NB5720 is far from a sexy, stylish Ultrabook, but it looks pretty good for a boxy, half-plastic laptop.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Micro Express: This american laptop manufacturer exists since 1986 and is established in Canada. The company sees its focus in performance related laptops. The worldwide market shares are very low.

Reverse Gear writes "There is a new study circling the media about new lakes found underneath the antarctic ice sheets that apparently empty and fill back up quite fast. 'The scientists allay fears that global warming has created these pockets of water. They say these lakes lie some 2,300 feet below compressed snow and ice, too deep for environmental temperature to reach. However, it is necessary to understand what causes the phenomenon as it can facilitate an understanding of the impact of climate change on the ice sheet in Antarctica.' NASA also has some information on the technique used to detect these lakes."

Mistaken in Middle English for a plural and stripped of its -s (cf. pea).
Old English had ciris "cherry" from a West Germanic borrowing of the Vulgar Latin word (cf. German Kirsch), but it died out after the Norman invasion and was replaced by the French word. Meaning "maidenhead, virginity" is from 1889, U.S. slang, from supposed resemblance to the hymen, but perhaps also from the long-time use of cherries as a symbol of the fleeting quality of life's pleasures.

Hosni Mubarak had harsh words for the United States and what he described as its misguided quest for democracy in the Middle East in a telephone call with an Israeli lawmaker a day before he quit as Egypt's president.
The legislator, former cabinet minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, said on TV Friday that he came away from the 20-minute conversation on Thursday with the feeling the 82-year-old leader realized "it was the end of the Mubarak era".
"He had very tough things to say about the United States," said Ben-Eliezer, a member of the Labor Party who has held talks with Mubarak on numerous occasions while serving in various Israeli coalition governments.

Meet Ryan Brown of Bravo's 'Flipping Out'
Here's a syndicated piece I did for this week with Ryan Brown of Bravo's real-estate-oriented show "Flipping Out." I have more material with Brown, and with assistant extraordinaire Jenni Pulos, so watch this space.
Here's a sip to hold you for now ...
Ryan Brown tries to keep from 'Flipping Out'
With his very particular ways and high-energy personality, Los Angeles house flipper Jeff Lewis is the engine driving the Bravo reality series "Flipping Out," which returns for a third season on Monday, Aug. 17.
While Lewis tries to temper his temper to deal with demanding clients as the housing downturn forces him to transition from just flipping houses to also doing remodeling work, his former personal and current business partner, Ryan Brown, who's also an interior designer, is sailing more tranquil waters.
Speaking in his spare, modern office in Hollywood,
"So a big part of this season is going to be watching him get his design business up and running. He's going through some growing pains right now, trying to sort stuff out."
While Lewis seems to relish being the center of a TV show, that isn't really Brown's favorite thing.
"The first season," he says, "I didn't agree to be part of it until the very, very end, because I was afraid of what I was getting myself into -- or what Jeff was getting me into."
As for dealing with Lewis, Brown says, "People say on the street, 'How do you work with him? He's so crazy.' But the fact of the matter is, he is crazy, but we're all crazy."
• Looking to buy? Brown says, "Buyers really do still have a certain degree of the upper hand in price range of under a million, or million-five, right now."
• How much to spend? "Usually the banks want to see, let's just say 30, for round figures, 30 percent of what you're bringing home being spent on your mortgage. Now, obviously, the loans are causing you to put a lot more down, so you have to have that all socked away."
