| LR2 opens more doors to Land Rover
Land Rover, home of the full-size, $80,000, V-8 Range Rover SUV, now offers a more blue-collar compact LR2 at $35,000 for 6 cylinders.
Yup, for a paltry $35,000 you can own a vehicle from the same company as Queen Elizabeth's.
And as it now sells an "inexpensive" sport-utility, Land Rover itself is being sold, along with another prestigious British nameplate Jaguar.

In a way, though, it had already started back home in the late 1950s with the arrival of James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause at the Rivoli Cinema. By the time the film was screening, Dean had already been killed in a car crash. Looking back now, I realize that it was not the film's theme (the generation gap) that made Dean a legend.

Klonaris, a Downtown sportswear shop (which still exists to this day) on Abdel Khalek Tharwat Street, offered a similar version of that zip-up jacket, but I arrived too late to buy the red one — they had sold out, and I had to make do with a khaki substitute. A few years later though, I had no problem buying an Aquascotum suit similar to Sean Connery's in Goldfinger (1964), but that was from a London store.

The resort's chefs use many ingredients that are produced on-site — Blackberry's cheese maker uses milk from the farm's East Friesian dairy sheep, while the resort's eggs come from its flock of free-range chickens. Beall said the lesson is properties that are committed to quality will distinguish themselves. “And at Blackberry we have stayed committed to nothing but quality, and there's nothing we won't do to offer our guests the best experience possible And we do have the same intentions at Three Sisters," he said. One local developer who has experience with high-end residential projects is John “Thunder" Thornton. The Chattanooga businessman partnered with former pro golfer Greg Norman on Tennessee National, a waterfront golf community in Loudon, and also developed 1,300 acres in the vicinity of Jackson, Wyoming.

High School Wrestling: Roosevelt's Phillips earns state trip despite ...
He had been the No. 1 seed in his weight class. "I was upset for a few days, but I knew I couldn't do anything to change it," he said. "It's been a real motivator for me, just thinking about how quick something can be taken away." Phillips also suffered his only defeat of the season after losing his temper and shoving Madison's Manuel Rocha in the face at the end of a tie match. Swoyer said Phillips accepted his punishment — three days of post-practice running — without complaint. "As long as he represents himself and the school in the right way, I don't mind a little swagger at all," said Swoyer, who is in his first year at Roosevelt. "Other than that one incident, he's done that." The reward comes Friday in Austin, with an opportunity to compete for a state title.
