Lansing moves to 12-1 after flying past Tongie; Another loss drops Pioneers below .500; Foul trouble dooms Raiders and Rams hang tough, but topple
Lansing's Khalil Bailey knew what he had to do Tuesday.
With the Lions boys' basketball team struggling to find its groove against visiting Tonganoxie, the junior guard heaved the burden onto his back.
"Khalil Bailey was probably the difference in the second quarter with his rebounding and going to the glass," Lansing coach Rod Briggs said.
It didn't stop there, as Bailey finished with a team-high 18 points to lead the Lions to a 59-46 win over the Chieftains.
"The jump shots were just falling," Bailey said. "They just kept getting it to me and I was hot so I had to keep it going."
After the first quarter the Lions were even with Tonganoxie at 14. Lansing then turned the momentum in their favor in the second quarter, thanks in large part to Bailey's play.
The team outscored Tonganoxie 19-4 to take a 33-18 halftime advantage. In the final two periods, the Lions never relinquished the lead.
"We made some shots and I thought our defense was much better in the second quarter," Briggs said. "When we're really out playing and defending the way we need to, we are pretty tough to handle."
Behind Bailey's 18, Joe Schneider scored 15 points and Donte Gibson had 10. Lansing, 12-1, will play Friday at home against Turner at 7:15 p.m.
Another loss drops Pioneers below .500
Lawrence High isn't the squad you want to run into when attempting to snap a losing streak, but that was the task for the Leavenworth boys' basketball team.
Entering on a three-game slide, the Pioneers suffered its fourth loss in a row Tuesday when Lawrence beat LV 63-48.
"You're always going to make stops, but eventually you've got to score," Leavenworth coach Randy Freivogel said after standing in for head coach Larry Hogan, who was absent due to a family matter. "We had too many turnovers, and we couldn't get a good shot selection, which led to run outs for them."
Leavenworth experienced several scoring droughts, which kept them from keeping up with the high-powered Lawrence offense. That allowed a 12-point halftime deficit to sustain itself through the second half.
The Pioneers scored just 16 points in the first half. In the second, Leavenworth picked up the scoring, but Lawrence matched basket-for-basket.
"They eventually wore us down defensively because of our inability to score on the offensive end," Freivogel said.
For the Pioneers, Trey Adkins led the way in scoring with 15. Shane Chikerema had 10, followed by Grant Lang with eight and Colin Dougherty with seven.
Leavenworth, 6-7, will look to snap its losing streak Friday at home against Olathe North. Tip off is at 7 p.m.
Foul trouble dooms Raiders
Immaculata big man Josh Boeppler was the proverbial thumb on the dike Tuesday, protecting the Raiders from getting washed away in the lane.
So once the 6'2" Boeppler fouled out midway through the fourth, the house fell in short order.
"They went right inside after that," Imac boys head coach Mike Connelly said. "Their big man had 13 points in the second half."
With Boeppler and Connor Schmidling on the bench, the two-possession game at the four-minute mark quickly got away, en route to a 57-46 loss.
The Raiders racked up 20 fouls on the night, compared to 12 for Valley Falls.
"We made critical errors and silly fouls," Connelly said.
Immaculata had one-point leads at the end of every period save for the last. That's when the fouls finally caught up with them.
Sean Murray led the Raiders scoring with 23, including 17 of Imac's 26 first-half points. Danny Boisson had seven, and Boeppler had six.
Immaculata, 5-8, travels to Maur Hill Friday. Tip off is at 7 p.m.
Ridge hangs tough, but topples
In regards to his team's effort Tuesday, consider Pleasant Ridge coach Sean Murphy pleased.
"It was a good overall effort," the Rams coach said. "I thought we showed a little more fight as the game got a little chippy."
Yet even with the renewed energy, Ridge couldn't keep up with host Troy and lost 72-58.
"Third quarter mental lapses and the lack of post players touching the ball hurt us," Murphy said.
Trailing 35-33 at half, PR saw its deficit grow to 19-points after it scored just six points in the third period. From there, the team never rallied.
Adam Patterson and Nick Reckers each scored 12 points to lead the squad.
Ridge, 1-11, will host Jefferson County North Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Joshua Bell, the violin prodigy who grew into what some call a classical-music rock star, has taken the helm of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Bell is the orchestra's first music director since Sir Neville Marriner, who created the group.
On his first tour with the group as both music director and conductor, Bell plays the violin while conducting the orchestra simultaneously, gesturing with his bow. And he leads from the concert master's chair, rather than the podium, which seems unusual to some audiences.
But the ASMF orchestra "really knows how to read those sorts of cues," he tells NPR's Neal Conan. In fact, Bell says, Marriner originally led the orchestra from the violin, too.
"So this orchestra, their roots come from being directed from the chair," he says. "Not with a stick."
Interview Highlights
On Good Conductors Vs. Bad Conductors
"A bad conductor [is] someone who can actually get in the way of the music. I mean, the great secret is that an orchestra can actually play without a conductor at all. Of course, a great conductor will have a concept and will help them play together and unify them. But there are conductors that actually inhibit the players from playing with each other properly.
"And, of course, there's interpretive things ... I cringe, you know, when I see the way they don't follow the score or they're giving cues that are contrary to what's intuitive for a musician who's trying to follow them. There are so many things ... that one can do wrong. I'm still learning myself, you know — what works, what can help create the excitement and where I should just not give a cue and just let them play. And then, when you do that, when you're not giving a beating every single beat and showing every single thing that you have on your mind — when you don't do that, then, when you do show something, it makes so much more of an impact. So I'm still learning all those things myself."
On Conducting From His Chair
"Somehow it makes the players ... have to sit on the edge of their seat. They can't get away with kind of sitting back and following. They have to lead themselves, as well. And also, there's sort of no middleman this way. They follow directly what I'm doing, and sometimes, somehow it feels even more natural."
On Conducting Rehearsals
"So many times, I've seen conductors that every time they have a thought, they stop the orchestra and say it and I can see the orchestra rolling their eyes and saying, 'Oh, God, he stopped again.' So there's a technique to rehearsing. You know, you try to store up the things you want to say, try to remember what they are, so you can say them all at once at the end.
"And ... you shouldn't have to speak everything. You should be able to show with your hands, you know, if you want something to become more legato. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a conductor say, "Play softer," as they're waving their hands in huge gestures. You know, they say, "Now, softer here, softer here" ... There's so much you can show with your hands ... That's what we should strive for, not having to say so much and showing it through the hands."
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan.
One-time prodigy Joshua Bell recently took the helm of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the famed chamber orchestra led for so many years by Sir Neville Mariner. On his first tour as its musical director and conductor, Bell conducts from the concert master's chair and signals the other players with gestures and his violin bow. We'd like to hear from musicians today about what makes a good conductor or a bad one.
Give us a call: 800-989-8255. Email us: firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also join the conversation at our website. That's at npr.org, click on TALK OF THE NATION. Of course, Joshua Bells continues to perform and just released a new CD with longtime collaborator Jeremy Denk called "French Impressions."
CONAN: An excerpt from Maurice Ravel's "Sonata for Violin and Piano" from the new CD "French Impressions." Joshua Bell joins us from our bureau in New York. And thanks very much for coming in today.
JOSHUA BELL: Oh, thank you. Nice to be here.
CONAN: And I wondered whether the communication that you developed with a partner in a duet can translate to what you need to do as a player-conductor in a much larger setting.
BELL: Well, there's a lot in common, really. I've - the way you communicate with the pianist, let's say on this album, through gestures and also in the rehearsal, of course, the discussions that go on in rehearsal, discussing the concepts of the piece that you're performing. It's similar when I get in front of the orchestra now with the Academy and discuss how my version of my concept of the "Beethoven 7th Symphony," for instance.
And then when I conduct this orchestra, I do lead from the concert master chair, which is something a little different for some people who haven't seen it done that way. But it really does work very well. And this orchestra really knows how to read those sort of cues. They're very good at that.
CONAN: Sort of a player-manager in baseball. Been a while since I've seen one.
BELL: A little bit, yeah.
CONAN: You've worked under so many batons now. I wondered what you think makes a good conductor. And for example, you worked under Sir Neville Mariner.
BELL: I did. Actually, the first recording I ever made, first concerto recording I did was with Sir Neville Mariner. I don't know if he was a sir at that point yet, but it was with Neville Mariner at that time with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. That was 25 years ago. And so I've kind of gone full circle here. But he's a wonderful conductor. And he started actually leading that orchestra from the violin as well. So this orchestra, their roots came from being directed from the chair, not from the - with a stick. But naturally, I have worked with probably thousands of conductors by now, and I've learned a lot from the bad ones as well as the good ones.
CONAN: Without naming names...
BELL: I'll just say the bad ones then, OK?
CONAN: OK, yeah.
BELL: No, I'm just kidding.
CONAN: Without naming names, what makes a bad conductor?
BELL: Well.
CONAN: Or conductors having a bad day.
BELL: No. Well, I mean, you see, there are so many things that make, let's say, a good conductor. A bad conductor: Someone who can actually get in the way of the music. I mean, the great secret is that an orchestra can actually play without a conductor at all. Of course, a great conductor will have a concept and will help them play together and unify them. But there are conductors that actually inhibit the players from playing with each other properly.
And, of course, there's interpretive things. There are conductors that - I cringe, you know, when I see the way they don't follow the score or they don't - they're giving cues that are contrary to what's intuitive for a musician for - who's trying to follow them. There are so many things that make, you know, that one can do wrong. I'm still learning myself, you know, as - what works, what can help create the excitement and what - where I should just not give a cue and just let them play. And then when you do that, when you're not giving a beating every single beat and showing every single thing that you have on your mind, when you don't do that then when you do show something, it makes so much more of an impact. So I'm still learning all those things myself.
CONAN: Can you hear - taking a familiar orchestra and saying, oh, well, that's clearly Tilson Thomas at the helm there? I mean, can you hear the difference, the signature of different conductors?
BELL: Well, sometimes I certainly can. I mean, certainly some of the older, you know, when you listen to Herbert von Karajan or Bernstein or the - I can often guess who is the conductor just based on their tempi and the way they - the rubato, where they take time and the - and one can do that. I can't always tell. But it certainly, I mean, a good conductor makes a real difference. And I was talking to Alan Gilbert, one of my favorite conductors, conductor of the New York Philharmonic. He actually came to our show in London with the Academy, and he was sitting in the second row. It was kind of intimidating...
BELL: ...watch, you know, sort of my debut as music director and - but afterwards, he was telling me, I heard you say in an interview that you like playing concertos without conductor, that you much prefer it. And he said he was really pissed off of me about - he wasn't really. We're good friends.
But I also enjoyed playing, like, the Beethoven concerto on this tour with the Academy. We're in the middle of it right now, you know, playing the Beethoven concerto without a conductor, where I'm playing the solo and then directing the two Ts. And somehow it makes the players - this way, they sort of - they have to sit on the edge of their seat. They can't get away with kind of sitting back and following. They have to lead themselves as well. And also, there's sort of no middleman this way. They follow directly what I'm doing and there's - sometimes - somehow it feels even more natural but although - yeah.
CONAN: There's no moment when you want to jump up and leave your role as the violinist just to make sure you get that section coming in at the right moment?
BELL: Well, it's sometimes frustrating when I'm doing one thing in the orchestra, I have to do something very, you know, interrupt something very contrary that I can't cue and have the atmosphere that I want from my part. And so I have to really - we have to plan out in advance and say, really, you guys just - you lead it, and you just interrupt me there. And a lot of that has to be decided ahead of time. But what I think what a conductor does, really, I'd say 90 percent of what a conductor does, their job is done in the rehearsal. On stage, that's the last bit of inspiration and the moment is, of course, is very important. But what you do in the rehearsal, how you lay out your interpretation and how you rehearse the orchestra is really - that's the most - once you've done that job, you could - you should be able to almost let them play on their own.
CONAN: We're talking with Joshua Bell, music director and conductor of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the famous chamber orchestra. We're also talking to him about his new CD, "French Impressions." We want to hear from musicians to say about the role of the conductor. What makes a good one or a bad one? 800-989-8255. Email us: firstname.lastname@example.com. And let's start with Clayton. Clayton with us on the line from Phoenix.
CLAYTON: Hi. I would like to say that when a conductor walks in, being a musician, there's a certain air of - when a great conductor walks in, everybody goes silent, and they listen to what they have to say. And I've been in so many rehearsals with conductors who let attention fly and not be centered on what's really happening with - so that's what I feel like a great conductor can really do to a group.
BELL: I agree with that. It's - you have to - it's kind of a little bit of chicken and the egg there. You have to earn their respect first to get them to listen to you as well, and to do that, you have to be a good conductor. But it's a little bit like, I guess, it - sometimes it might sound silly because it's almost like a teacher in a classroom, you know? You have to be a psychologist as well, and know how to get people's attention. You have to be - you have to juggle being a friend with them and being - and you have to joke. You have to be able have fun, and yet you have to lay down the law to a certain extent and earn their respect in that way. So it's always a balancing act. You don't - you can't be too chummy all the time, but then you don't want to be, you know, you don't want to be mean person and - because then they don't want to play for you either. So it's...
CONAN: There's - Clayton, thanks very much for the call. You played, as you mentioned, previously as a visitor with the St. Martin in the Fields - Academy of St. Martin in the Fields - but it's one thing to be brought in as the violinist. You're expected to play the part. You're the virtuoso. You're the music director here, and you're picking the music. And is there any backbiting? Well, of course, he picked a violin concerto.
BELL: Well, certainly, when I tour, I always do something when - I always - that I can play a solo, usually a violin concerto. And I don't conduct every concert there. So they have plenty of chance during the season to play with the pianist and play orchestra programs. So they expect me - they don't want me to play the piano.
BELL: So that's fine. It's - I've actually been touring with them for the last 10 years on occasion as a guest, and I've sort of gotten to know them very well. And somehow the chemistry - a lot of it is chemistry, by the way. I have worked with great conductors. You know, I'll play in Houston and play with a conductor, and they loved him and it get goes great. And then I'll go to the next city in Philadelphia and I say, I just worked with this great conductor. The orchestra loved him. And they'll say, oh, my God, we hated him. We, you know, from the second he walk on the podium, it was just as - there was no chemistry at all. And so it's - so somehow I feel this orchestra and I, we had - at least I thought we had a good chemistry, and then they did asked me to be their music director, so I guess that they felt the same way.
CONAN: Must have felt the same. I was surprised when I was first in London to see St. Martin in the Fields, and it's a relatively small, little church tucked away in a major city square. Do you guys play a lot of home games?
BELL: Well, you know, the funny thing about this orchestra, they've - I mean, they've made probably at least 1,000 recordings, maybe more than any other orchestra at all. I mean, they're very famous for their recordings. Around the world, they've got a, you know, very big name. They don't play a lot in London, and that's something I want to change now. I want to play more home games. There are very - they do tour just so much. And the St. Martin in the Fields itself is a small place, and it's not conducive to big symphonic things, but it's nice for some smaller chamber things, which they continue to do.
CONAN: We're talking with Joshua Bell. Again, his new CD with longtime collaborator Jeremy Denk is called "French Impressions." He's also the new conductor and musical director of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. And let's talk with Alan(ph). Allan with us from Ferndale in Michigan.
ALAN: Hi. I just want to say, first of all, I was at your concert on Sunday at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, and it was absolutely breathtaking, so thank you for that performance, Mr. Bell.
BELL: Oh, thanks. Thank you so much. I love Ann Arbor and I love - that auditorium is one the most amazing places to play. We - that we - we all really had a blast that night.
ALAN: Yeah, absolutely. But anyway, I'm a public school music teacher, band director. And as a conductor, I notice a lot of people in my profession, you know, just rely on the rehearsal only to get the musical things that they want from their ensemble. You know, how do I get my students to visually communicate with me is something I struggle with on a daily basis so that we can make music without verbal cues and more rely on my gesture as opposed to stopping and rehearsing, you know? It's something - we have a lot more rehearsal time, so it's possible in public education, rather in the professional world. But how do I get my visual cues to help my students understand the music better?
BELL: Well, you know, really, the whole thing is it's a kind of code, isn't it? I mean, what - those gestures, they're sort of abstract. But it is a code, and so it's sort of - it's training. In the rehearsal, once you train them to say, you know, when I do this, this is how - first of all, these cues should be sort of also logical and instinctive. They should be able to pick that up. But it's - when we're talking about bad conductors, that's something that I've noticed as a soloist over the years. So many times I've seen conductors that every time they have a thought, they stop the orchestra and say it and I can see...
ALAN: Right.
BELL: ...the orchestra rolling their eyes and saying, oh, God, he stopped again. So there's a technique to rehearsing. You know, you try to store up the things you want to say, try to remember what they are, so you can say them all at once at the end. And also not to be - have to - like you're saying, you shouldn't have to speak everything. You should be able to show with your hands, you know, if you want something to become more legato. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a conductor say, play softer, as they're waving their hands huge gestures, you know, they say, now, softer here, softer here.
You know, it has to correlate to what they're doing. And there's so much you can show with your hands and that - you're right. That's what we should strive for, not having to say so much and showing it through the hands and...
ALAN: Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you very much.
CONAN: Good luck, Alan.
ALAN: Thank you.
CONAN: Let's see if we get Michael in. Michael calling us from Broad Brook in Connecticut.
MICHAEL: Hi. How are you?
CONAN: Good. Thanks.
MICHAEL: I spent my six years in the Army band, so we ended up seeing everything, you know, from guys that were just learning to very, very experienced band masters. And one of the best guys we had was this guy named Charles Moore down at Fort Hood, Texas. And he was a real quiet guy, but he was amazingly intense and amazingly knowledgeable. And he conducted in the smallest patterns of any conductor that I ever worked for. And I continue to play professionally now.
And he just - his patterns were so small, and the difference between a fortissimo and a pianissimo was really not that much. But everybody understood. It seemed like he had a line in the air to everybody in the band. And he got - and he ended up leaving, and we got another band master, who was very good, but just never quite seemed to have the communication. And it didn't come from gestures, you know? Of course, he ran a, you know, beautiful rehearsal. He had a great concept for everything that we played and, I mean, it's just wonderful. But just one more funny thing about a conductor.
CONAN: Quickly, if you could.
MICHAEL: I'm a memorizer, and I memorize long passages of music. And so when the conductor is conducting, I tend to really, really watch the conductor and not look at the music. And I had a conductor a few years back came after rehearsal. He came and he said, would you do me a favor, Mike? And I said, what? And he goes, would you stop staring at me?
BELL: You can't win. You can't.
CONAN: You can't win.
BELL: Now, first, they're not paying attention, then they're staring...
MICHAEL: But thanks very much. I love your work.
CONAN: Thanks very much for the call.
BELL: Thanks. It's funny about the gestures, you know, that there are some conductors - and you see some 95-year-old conductors. That's one of the reasons why I want to get into conducting more because I think you live longer. So you see a 95-year-old conductor who doesn't have the flexibility and the strength to move around a lot, and yet they can show with a small gesture a kind of power that an orchestra can feel, and they can get this amazing sound out of an orchestra without huge gestures. And so it's an amazing thing what the conductor's role is. It's something sort of magical about it that when it works, it's something really amazing.
CONAN: Well, Joshua Bell, thank you very much for your time today. We appreciate it, and good luck with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
BELL: Thanks so much for having me.
CONAN: And we'll end where we started, with some of the Maurice Ravel's "Sonata for Violin and Piano," from the new CD by Joshua Bell and Jeremy Denk called "French Impressions."
CONAN: This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Once and for all the full explanation:
All AGD products have a 90 day warrantee against manufacturing defects. We will repair or replace, at our option, defective parts. This is our formal warrantee. Informally we will take care of our customers unless the product is abused or very old and older than a certain serial number. We will not fix your gun "just because I want you to look at it". If it is an old gun we may offer you the option of a 45$ rebuild fee plus parts. Most lifetime warrantees offered by other manufacturers are for the original owner only. We do not make this distinction and will try to help you even if you bought it used.
We try and work on the concept that we will treat you fairly if you treat us fairly.
High performance products we have under development right now give that performance at the expense of longevity. Aluminum and delrin do not last as long as stainless steel so expect that light weight AGD components will not be warranted past the 90 day period for any reason. The demands of the marketplace for this type of product and the fact that most players are only in the game about a year, is forcing us into this position. Again it is not fair to ask us to replace something that was not purchased with longevity in mind.
With 100,000 guns out there (most still functional) we have to walk a finer line between giving good service and staying in business. We would like to be your gun company now and into the future so we hope you will understand if we have to modify our policies from time to time.
Thanks for being great customers!

LONGMONT -- Because of eminent domain proceedings filed by the city against Dillard's, the redevelopment of Twin Peaks Mall likely will take a little longer than originally thought.
Allen Ginsborg, managing director and principal with mall owner NewMark Merrill Mountain States, told an audience of more than 100 people Wednesday night that instead of breaking ground on what will be Village at the Peaks -- the name of the redeveloped property -- this fall, it likely will be winter, and more specifically probably early 2014, before that can occur.
Dillard's owns its own building and land and its current lease agreement allows it to block any and all redevelopment on any of the 75-acre mall property. It has turned down requests to be part of the redevelopment or to sell to NewMark Merrill, so the Longmont City Council, acting as the Longmont Urban Renewal Authority, filed condemnation proceedings against the retailer to keep the development project moving forward.
The city has a financial stake in the redevelopment, having committed $27.5 million to the $80 million project.
Instead of having at least 75 percent of Village at the Peaks open by the holiday shopping season of 2014, it likely will be spring of 2015, Ginsborg said Wednesday night.
"There's a point where we can't process certain plans to keep the project moving forward," he said.
The city and Dillard's are scheduled for a court appearance later this month. NewMark Merrill, which is not part of those court proceedings, has its hands tied in terms of moving forward until Dillard's no longer has ownership of its property, Ginsborg said.
"There's going to be some delay, and it'll depend on the judicial process," he said.
Meanwhile, NewMark Merrill has five people working full-time to find new tenants for the project, Ginsborg said. Sam's Club, Whole Foods Market and Regal Entertainment Group have been announced as the three major anchors.
Regal, which is building a new state-of-the-art movie theater, is making one of its 12 screens into a format it calls the Regal Premium Experience -- a 60-foot wide, floor-to-ceiling screen with high-back, luxury seating and more seats than a standard-size theater. There's only one other RPX screen in Colorado, Ginsborg said, and fewer than 1 percent of the company's 7,500 screens worldwide are RPX screens.
A few other details of Village at the Peaks that Ginsborg shared Wednesday night were a couple of fountains near a roundabout in the middle of "The Village" portion of the property, which will be in the central-west portion of the property. A pop-up water fountain also will be nearby, as will a stage with a lawn area for seating. The Village will be ringed by smaller-format shops and restaurants.
Sam's Club will be in the northeast portion of the property and the movie theater just to the south of it. Several smaller anchors will wrap around to the south to the Whole Foods, which will be in the southwest corner of the property. Several new restaurant pad sites will be on the west side of the property along Hover Street.
"The ring road doesn't move," Ginsborg said. "There's a very slight modification to the south."
Some of the other amenities will include the city's bike path being extended into different parts of the property; outdoor fireplaces; charging stations for cars; and a dog park on the property's eastern edge.
The goal of his team in the design process, Ginsborg told the audience, was to create "a regional draw with a local heart."

Matt stressed that St. James Golf Course is not a private club. It is a public course that anyone can come and play. There will be memberships offered. A single membership will be $595 and a family membership will be $750.
The St. James Golf Course is getting new ownership. A father and son who are already the owners of a local business are in the process of dotting the I's and crossing the T's to complete the transaction.
According to Klarice Rinne and his son Matt, working out the details of the sale are a formality. The Rinnes say all parties have agreed to the terms of the sale.
Klarice said they got the keys to the course last Friday. The father and son moved fast to close the deal. They first heard about the course being for sale on March 6, and they had the keys to the place by March 29.
Some of the rumors floating around were that the course wasnt' going to open up this year, that the course might be put up for auction and that it might be turned into farm ground.
Matt said, "Being part of the community, we didn't want to see that happen. This (the golf course) is a good thing for our community."
Klarice has worked a job in Mankato for many years and he's made a daily commute to that job. He said it always felt good to get back to St. James at night. "St. James needs this place, and we wanted to step up."
The miserable weather in March already delayed the opening of the course. Right now the new owners are shooting for an April 15 opening if the weather cooperates. Worst case would be May 1 according to Matt.
Matt stressed that St. James Golf Course is not a private club. It is a public course that anyone can come and play. There will be memberships offered. A single membership will be $595 and a family membership will be $750.
A membership letter was scheduled to go out this week. It was going to detail the various levels of membership, early bird discounts and discounts available to previous members.
Klarice, a 1980 graduate of St. James High School is the owner of Buckshots Bar in Butterfield. Matt, a 2005 graduate of St. James High, is the general manager of Buckshots.
Klarice bought the bar about a year ago, and Matt's marketing efforts and strategies have made the bar a success.
The father and son team are looking to apply some of those same marketing concepts to St. James Golf Course.
One focus of Matt, who will be the General Manger of the golf course and the restaurant said that a focus of the business will be upgrading the restaurant menu and services.
"We're going to have breakfast specials and lunch specials. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday we want to offer a fine dining menu," Matt said.
This might include menu items like filet mignon, prime rib, lobster and other seafood according to Matt. This high end dining will offer elegant wines according to Matt.
Matt will be moving over to manage the golf course and restaurant. Klarice is quitting his day job in Mankato and taking over the operation of Buckshots.
Matt says he's on a quick learning curve when it comes to managing a golf course, but the Rinnes say they already have an excellent grounds crew at the golf course.
The father, son team is thinking about having a 'Rusty Swing' tourney at the start of the golf season. It would be for the customers who take advantage of the early bird membership offers.

East Stadium Ticketholders Love Their Views
Randy York's N-Sider
Official Blog of the Huskers
Forget about Nebraska's great escape from Wyoming in Saturday night's nationally televised season opener that drew 91,185 fans – the largest home crowd in Memorial Stadium history. Focus instead on the thousands of new season ticketholders in the expanded East Stadium that doubled the 90-year-old stadium's height and redefined the Memorial Roar. What did these lucky charmed people think about sitting in wider seats equipped with backrests for the first time since they became available while the Huskers added 38 new suites and more than 2,000 new club seats? Were their sweeping views worth the investments they made to become part of the greatest fans that pass through these historically remodeled gates?
The N-Sider waited until the second quarter before randomly selecting feedback from fans sitting in the rows of seats that sit on top of the suites and club seats and stretch from one end of the field to the other. Let the record show their collective reaction rated somewhere between absolutely adoring and outright loving their new perches, even though they were making their debut on a scorching night with dripping humidity. I will report the reaction from every person I talked to, including an unexpected football loving, celebrity-like family, so keep reading because I promised myself to communicate in the order in which I interviewed.
The Views Are Awesome at the Very Top
First up are Dwight Rasmussen and Catherine Sutera, who were sitting with three of their children and a family friend in the very top row of Section 606. Dwight is a farmer/rancher and Catherine a family doctor in Chadron, Neb. The couple has four tickets, but not together, in the West Stadium and two in the South Stadium. "I'm a big guy (6-1, 290), so we wanted to give these bigger seats a try," Dwight said. "When we stayed in Norfolk last night and looked at where we would be sitting, we were a little scared about how high we would be. But it's awesome up here. They're great seats. We could feel a breeze, and we couldn't be happier." I asked both how they would rate their new seats on a scale of 1 to 10. Within seconds, they agree that it would be somewhere between a 9 and a 10. "I love the backrest, and the seats are awesome," Catherine said. "I love the knee room, and the seats are perfect," Dwight said.
Next up is Ryan Broerman of Omaha. He and his girlfriend bought two seats in Section 605 because the season ticketholders did not want to attend a game with such searing heat. "I wanted to give these seats a try," he said. "I'm afraid of heights, but it's awesome up here. You can see everything."
You Don't Even Have to Move Your Head
During the game, Michelle Devine of Albion, Neb., takes a quick concession break from her Level 6 seats. She and husband Andy Devine prefer their new seats in the East Stadium to what they had in the North Stadium. "You don't even have to move your head to watch the game," Michelle said. "You see everything. It's crazy how much better the view is up here, and it's nice to see what all they've done in the Haymarket Area from this vantage point. It would be fun to have season tickets at Pinnacle Bank Arena. That whole area is beautiful."
Larry Niemann is retired and lives in Seward, Neb. For 35 years, he helped sell season football tickets to members of the Nebraska Coaches Association, but his new seat in the expanded East is his favorite. "A friend of mine bought one ticket, and I bought one, and we sit together," he said during the easiest concession break he's ever experienced inside the stadium. "I love my seat. It's great. You can see the holes open up for the running backs, and you can see every time the receivers get open."
The Hoffmans Fulfill a Family Dream
As I trudge up the next small set of stairs in the southeast corner of Level 6, I hear a familiar voice say "Hi, Randy." I turn around and see Andy Hoffman sitting in an aisle seat in Row 11 and son Jack sitting next to him. In front of them are his mom, Breanna Hoffman, and Jack's two sisters. Yes, it's a five-star seating arrangement for the original members of Team Jack, including Jack, who's wearing Husker jersey No. 22. The Atkinson, Neb., family is celebrating two special moments on a hot night season opener: 1) their first-ever season tickets; and 2) a text they'd received before the game that Rex Burkhead was now officially a full-fledged NFL football player after making the final 2013 roster for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jack prayed hard about his buddy, Rex, Friday night, and Saturday night was a double celebration getting to sit in seats they actually owned. "We've been bumming tickets our whole lives, ever since we started listening to Nebraska football on the radio," Andy said. "We'd put in twice before to get tickets and weren't even going to try a third time until I read your blog about these seats last spring. We talked about it and then applied. We love these seats. They feel like club seats to us. I think everybody in this whole section feels the same way. There was a buzz up here tonight. People are enthusiastic, even giddy. Bri didn't want to apply for tickets again, but she's really glad we did. I'm not making this up. When she read that blog, she agreed to put our names in again."
Robinsons Cross One Off Bucket List
Brent Robinson and wife Diane of Omaha feel just as excited as the Hoffman family. "We've applied, but never gotten tickets until this year," he said. "That's always been a dream of both of ours. It's a bucket list thing for us, and the first thing Diane said when she woke up this morning was why today is historic because it's our first day as season ticketholders, and we finally get to use them. It's a different feeling driving up to Lincoln. We just couldn't be happier. We're tickled to death with the seats we have, the view we have, and the excitement we feel. I'm 53 years old, and it's nice to have tickets that we can call our own. I'm a graduate of Nebraska, and I'm just as happy about being able to pay a seat fee to get these tickets. It feels good to give back to a place that's given so much to me, and that makes me even prouder."

Voices from Husker Nation
I have tried for season tickets for 20 years and was never successful. This was the #1 on my bucket list and finally got them. The view is great. The room and the backrest are awsome, and I'm 20 steps from the bathroom and concessions. I couldn't be happier, and I hope I never have to give them up. Rich Mustion, Hershey, Nebraska
Nice report on the new seats at Memorial Stadium. Like others, I have put my name in for tickets but have not been chosen and was not available to put my name in for these new expanded seating. Are there season tickets that have not been sold as yet? I had heard that some were held back, but maybe that is not true. Thanks. Roger Wiese, O'Neill, Nebraska
Editor's note: The 2013 Nebraska football season is sold out. Fans can, however, submit requests to be placed on a 2014-15 season ticket waitlist.

There must be something in the water this week, because Hayden Panettiere has finally confirmed what we've known for months … she's engaged to boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko!
The "Nashville" actress stopped by "Live With Kelly & Michael" on Wednesday, where she was asked about the diamond ringshe has been sporting lately.
"I'm sort of distracted, not just by the snake, but there's a very large diamond ring on your finger,Kelly Ripa" pondered. "I'm not sure if you want to announce anything … does that signify anything, is that a promise of something?"
"It might be," Hayden coyly replied. "I mean, I think it speaks for itself."
Ripa then asked the 24-year-old actress point blank if she's engaged.
"I am!" Hayden exclaimed. She later added that there is no date set given her hectic schedule.
Us Weekly reported in March that Panettiere and her boxing champion beau were engaged. In early August, the actress was spotted wearing a giant diamond ring on that finger, but wouldn't confirm the happy news.
Hayden and Wladimir, 37, first started dating in 2009 before parting ways two years later in May 2011. The couple reconciled in January.
"It's like the 2.0 version," the actress old Glamour in May. "I've always had great relationships and stayed really good friends with the guys I've dated. It blows my mind sometimes that us getting together has gotten so much attention. It's like, Really? This is breaking news?"
Apparently it is!
Hayden Panettiere

The good 2 wins last year 2 wins after 2 games this year
Alex Smith- Showed something he was the offense for most of that game when we had no running game and the O line was stinking up the place
The defense They had some bad moments but they came out and are the reason the Chiefs won. If they didn't do a good job today it would have been a l. Mostly the 2nd half they pretty much held Bryant who torched them in the 1st half but they did get lucky with one big drop
COACHING last season this coaching staff couldn't make an adjustment to save there lifes this year they Clearly made some at the half Good to see
The BAD
The O line they stunk up the joint Smith had no time way to often and had to make things happen with his legs. That can't keep up.
The defense gave up some big plays and were lucky not to give up anther one. That has to be fixed.
All in all 2-0 great start and they have a short week to get what needs to be fixed fixed on to Philly.

Just list things you're excited to see this week. Or, rip mine. Or, pee in my butt.
1) I'm excited to see Lane get some time defensively. His special teams play and attitude during OTA's/Training Camp has drawn my attention. I have a feeling we're going to like this kid.
2) Russell Wilson facing a team, for the 2nd time, for the 1st time is exciting. His discipline, problem-solving, and preparedness seem to favor him in these scenarios.
3) I'm excited to see whether the Seahawks offense can finally become prolific. I know I'll get disagreements on this based upon Pete's style, but I think the Hawks can, and are trending towards, being top 10. I think its within their grasp. And, I'd LOVE to be wrong about Bevell.

As expected, my enjoyment of Burnout Paradise is significantly higher after the latest patch. Hooray for the option to restart an event, instead of driving halfway across the map to try again. I sat down to play for a few minutes and ended up losing a few hours.
However, this will put force me to make a difficult call later in the week. Car crashes or zombie killing? I honestly don't know if I'll be able to decide. Both sound so appealing.

Parboiled Rice
Out of stock.
This high quality Italian gourmet rice cannot be overcooked, thanks to an ancient Asian technique. Best when used in risottos and salads.
The parboiled rice is the result of a process called parboilization. In practice, the raw rice is washed with hot water; steam-cooked, dried with hot air and husked (the external coating is removed). Thanks to this method, which was invented in the Far East in ancient times, the grains turn yellow and, above all, they do not become overcooked, staying whole and well separated, and retaining mineral salts and vitamins. Its crystalline grain makes it suitable for risottos and salads.
1.1 lb. Gourmet rice Imported from Italy.

Middletown – The Mega Millions® jackpot for March 27 has grown to the third-largest jackpot in game history, with an estimated annuity value of $363 million and a lump-sum cash value of $259.8 million.
One Mega Millions ticket worth $250,000 from the March 23 drawing was sold at Sheetz, 1500 Graham Ave., Windber, Somerset County.
The winning ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 06-17-19-20-21, but not the yellow Mega Ball 20, for a prize of $250,000, less 25 percent federal withholding.
The store will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the March 23 winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery's seven area offices.
Claims may be filed at Lottery headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.
In the 2010-11 fiscal year, in addition to awarding more than $11.5 million in prizes to Somerset County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed nearly $9.5 million to programs serving Somerset County's older residents.
How to Play Mega Millions: Mega Millions tickets cost $1 per play. Players pick five numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to 46 (the Mega Ball). Players can pick their own numbers or have numbers randomly selected by computer. For an extra $1 per play, players can add the Megaplier. Prior to the Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier number – ranging from two to four – is randomly selected.
A player who matches five white balls and purchased Megaplier wins $1 million. Other non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 44 participating jurisdictions. Drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays.
About the Pennsylvania Lottery: The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since its inception in 1971, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed nearly $21.5 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free transit and reduced-fare shared rides; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services; and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state. The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds its players to play responsibly. Players must be 18 or older.

VICTORIA — Colour us with green with envy.
It's the time of year when most Canadians are battling the remnants of winter. Brown grass, leafless trees and less-than-pristine snow banks fill our landscape. Plus, we know another snow storm is likely to hit before spring is truly here.
In Victoria, however, the picture is a different one.
The grass is green. The golf courses are open. And, British Columbia's capital city is already filled with three-quarters of a billion blossoms.
Yes, that's right — almost a billion blossoms. How do Victoria residents know? Well, they counted; just like they do every year.
The annual flower count is an offshoot of a 1960s event called Victoria Days, which used to see a group of residents in Victorian-era costumes visit cities such as Calgary and Edmonton to hand out daffodils and promote their city's early spring.
In 1976, the event grew to include an annual flower count so that everyone in Victoria could get involved.
It's a lighthearted initiative (since it would be difficult to come up with a "scientific" count of blossoms); however, it's a perfect way to welcome spring.
But how does Victoria reach such a high figure? Well, if you think about how many blossoms a large flowering tree has (750,000), it's easy to see how the total number quickly grows.
The city's blooming success has wafted our way for years now; it's a good thing it smells so sweet, and that it's easy for Western Canadians to get to Victoria to join in the flowering fun.
"Canadians can enjoy spring early in Victoria with blooms colouring the landscape by late February," says Trina Mousseau, Tourism Victoria's director of destination marketing.
"We have a plethora of outdoor activities, whether you prefer to spend the afternoon on the golf course, whale watching on the ocean, or going for a hike in our old-growth rainforests," she says. "Victoria is full of life in spring."
For golfing fans and fanatics, there's myriad courses in Victoria and along the coasts and valleys of Vancouver Island.
"What makes Victoria such a good (vacation) choice is first and foremost our temperate climate," says Cheryl Bushby, marketing manager for the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa.
The resort had a reality TV spotlight shone on it last year, while it was the temporary home of former CFL player Brad Smith, star of The Bachelor: Canada.
But, it's also become known as a destination where visitors can golf at one of its two courses (the mountain course) year round, Bushby says. "You can't say that about many other spots in Canada."
This is also the time of the year when you'll find golf deals; at the Westin Bear Mountain, for example, $69 gets you a round of golf with GPS power cart and warm-up balls.
"We are the only all-in-one hotel golf experience," says Westin head pro Jordan Ray. "(You) walk out of your hotel room and right onto the course. To use a ski term, we are a true 'golf in, golf out.'"
Whether golfing or not, the award-winning Sante Spa at the resort merits a visit. Not only are there perfect packages for golfers (Fore the Face, the Eagle Massage or the Golfer's 19th Hole, for example); there is also a full range of treatments available that reflect the peaceful surroundings of the mountain.
A rejuvenating arbutus wrap is inspired by the nearby ancient trees, while the Elements Mountain Massage features a sage smudge, purifying foot bath, essential oils and B.C. jade stones positioned on energy pathways. It's pure bliss.
Once emerged from the serenity of the spa, you'll see golfers aren't the only active folks taking advantage of the early spring and mild temperatures in Victoria.
It's an ideal city for pursuing any number of recreational activities because, as Statistics Canada notes, Victoria is the fittest city in the country and the cycling capital of Canada.
Bike routes through historic neighbourhoods and parks abound, with one of the star attractions being the Galloping Goose Trail, a former rail line that curves past lakes, marshes, forests, charming farms and bird sanctuaries.
For those who prefer to take to the water, kayaks can depart from the Inner Harbour right in downtown Victoria.
There's no shortage of routes for visitors who prefer a good walk or hike, either. A stroll along the harbour front and past the Parliament Buildings is always one of my favourites, but Tourism Victoria also has a list of suggested walks based on distances and interests, such as history, architecture, shopping or gardens.
These activities not only let you take in the green of the great outdoors; walking and cycling also allow you to participate in the sustainable green movement that's taken hold of Victoria.
A "greening" of many shops and restaurants has occurred. Tourism Victoria has even created a "green blog" that applauds the environmentally-sensitive initiatives launched by businesses.
That means when you visit a restaurant like Pizzeria Prima Strada, you're not only getting the best Neapolitan pizza this side of Italy. You're also supporting a business that is involved in projects like Garbage Showdown, which saw 33,000 pieces of garbage collected from streets and alleys on Earth Day last year.
The same holds true if you decide to dine at Smoken Bones Cookshack.
The BBQ Taster Platter — with pork ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork and brisket — is mouth-wateringly irresistible. But it's also nice to know that behind the scenes, owner Ken Hueston and crew ensure Vancouver Island ingredients are featured whenever possible, promoting local consumption and sustainability.
It adds another touch of green to a getaway that every winter-weary Canadian could use right about now, to a city where January showers bring February and March flowers.
Victoria by the numbers
2: The ranking given to Victoria, for having the second highest number of restaurants per capita in North America, only behind San Francisco.
13: The percentage of 2008 Canadian Summer Olympic team members that call Victoria home.
80: The number of orca whales that can be found in the three resident pods that make their home in the waters around Victoria.
950: Number of hanging baskets on lamp posts during summer months.
991: Number of farms in the Greater Victoria area.
3,333: Number of lights twinkling on the Parliament Building each night.
750,000: Number of cups of tea served each year at the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

HARRISBURG– State Rep. Frank Farina, D-Lackawanna/Wayne, will host his Employ our Veterans Job Fair from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 23 at Fiorelli's Catering, 1501 Main St., Peckville.
The event will bring employers face to face with local veterans who are looking for meaningful employment.
"I am looking for employers who will be hiring great workers with high integrity who have been well-trained in teamwork and achieving goals," Farina said. "Honorably discharged veterans are excellent choices for many positions.
"A new report from Senator Robert Casey's Joint Economic Committee reports that more than one in 10 Pennsylvanians is a veteran, and their current unemployment rate is 9 percent. This is a perfect opportunity for companies looking to hire qualified individuals to meet high-caliber prospective employees."
This event is still in its planning phase and Farina is actively recruiting potential employers to be represented during the job fair.
Parties interested in reserving a booth should email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Farina Veterans Job Fair", or call 876-1111.

How Buying the Right TV Will Save $1.34 Billion in Annual Energy Costs
In this day and age of technological innovation, you would think that televisions of the same size and type would have a similar power consumption. All TVs are definitely not made equal, in fact it is quite the opposite. LED TVs are usually at least 20 to 25% more efficient than LCDs or Plasmas. Taking 37-inch TVs (average size sold in 2012) as an example, there is a surprising 400% difference in energy usage between the most and least efficient models. And when you consider that approximately 40 million new TVs will be purchased in 2012, there is potential to save 11.2 billion kWh of electricity and $1.34 billion dollars in annual electricity costs by choosing the most efficient model.
Taking a Million Households Off the Grid
Since it's difficult to grasp what 11.2 billion kWh actually means, let's convert that into people. Using the EIA's average consumption benchmark, this translates into 996,454 households worth of energy that could be saved by choosing the more energy efficient 37 inch TV. When you think about it, this would be the same as taking the cities of Boston and San Francisco off the grid. And in terms of reducing CO2 emissions, it would be comparable to removing 1.5 million passenger cars from the road.
This scale and impact of simple purchase decisions, led us to create the Enervee Score which we like to think of as the MPG (miles per gallon) rating for electronics and appliances. And the best part is that by choosing TVs with a higher Enervee Score you can save money and save the planet at the same time without making sacrifices on the latest product features.
How Does Your TV Score?
To help you figure out whether it is the right time to upgrade your TV, we have released a "Score my TV" app that scores the energy efficiency of TVs dating all the way back to the 1990s. You may be surprised to discover that newer Plasmas are actually more efficient than LCDs. Another hidden fact is that there is even a significant variation in energy consumption among the latest Energy Star-certified TVs.
For now, we have only released the Enervee Score for TVs, but we plan to have over 20 product categories scored by the end of the year. Imagine if the example above also included the potential savings for all of the appliances and electronics in the home—the impact to U.S. consumers would be tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.
Alex Katzman is head of business development at Enervee and has a decade of experience with strategic partnerships and enterprise software implementation in the smart grid and mobile/web sectors. He is well versed in global business, having spent four years of his career working abroad in the UK, Argentina, and South Korea. Alex holds an MBA from the University of Virginia and a Bachelor's degree in Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh.

But the wife knows that he will be hanged any time especially after Kasab's execution, the whispers were floating around.
Even after Supreme Court death sentence, he was kept alive for more than 10 years.
Though looks cleche, why no emotional tears are said for thousands killed both hindus and muslims by terrorists in the name of freedom?

I feel very sad that we have such an insensitive system. It is my observation that such a system serves the insensitive persons the most, they take advantages of the many loopholes existing in the system.
About Reginald Massey comment, my view is that I thought the intellectuals were averse to stereotyping.

Me De for once I don't agree with your sentiments. I mean, I am sorry for the wife who has to learn that her husband was hanged and all...but, isn't it the exactly the case with death. I mean, be it an accident or a jail hanging, usually family comes to know about it only after death occurs. Parliament attack isn't a joke. It's an insult to the government and honestly (as angry as I am with politicians), they are the symbol of the democracy, just like every citizen is. So, I guess this hanging shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone, specially the wife.
Will I be saying this if it were my husband? Who knows, there is no manual which says I will or I will not.

Same must've been the condition of several families whose husbands, then part of security forces at the parliament, were executed fighting against the troop led by Guru. Were their wives, children, family prepared? So many families have been torn apart because of one man's irrational madness!

hi, Mem!. day after his hanging i had seen his interview in a news channel, i don't know why , but there was something unheard from his side. what u narrated in your post is the most human side of a matter which is rare in public, political discourse!!

The letter was deliberately sent late for obvious reasons; all hell would break loose in Kashmir otherwise costing many more lives.
You ask a rhetoric question; What will happen to Tabassum and her son Ghalib? Exactly that which happened to the seven policeman's families who were also not informed in advance that their innocent husbands would be shot down in the Parliament attack.
Have you run out of all freeloading options that you write such inane s*** these days?

yes ,you are absolutely right if we as an individually put ourselves into his wife's shoes for all the emo's articulated above , she is well aware why he is been punished and kept in jail, but there were so many women's who weren't prepared for their husband's /brother's death who were completely innocent and went unnoticed . do you have anything to justify about this?
every body suffers in their own ways. one's pain is neither more or less than one another's

Really, Ms.De?
Senility catching up with your sentiments? For this is not the first instance I've read of your misplaced sympathies (ref: 'Spare a thought for Sridevi'. But let's not go there now.)
Ms.Tabassum knew her husband was in jail, awaiting a death sentence. The only thing she didn't know for certain was the date he would be executed. She, at least, has a farewell letter from him to cherish and pass on to her child.
How many women do you think went from being wives to widows 'without even knowing when or how or why it happened', due to the misguided acts of Afzal and his kind? They didn't have the luxury of a final meeting with their loved ones either, and worse, no last letter to treasure.
Did you miss seeing the 'inconceivable tragedy' of that? Did you pen a post about your concern for them as well? I seem to have missed it, if you did.
Not to say that I think not informing Tabassum was correct. But karma is a strange bitch, you know? Life has a way of coming full circle.

Though ARC Packers and Movers vapi you can save time and improve care of your good's or material, there has been resistance to its implementation and use. In January 2009, research done by the ARC Packers and Movers Association, found that only 28% of Indian Customers utilized Packers and Movers s, compared to 89% in the Other Country. Resistance to the implementation and use of Packers and Movers can be attributed to customer not wanting to spend more time on Moving Activity or relocation their office material or household good's. Some of this resistance may also exist because the process of selecting which Packers and Movers to use can be overwhelming. http://www.arcpackersandmovers.com

Nicki Minaj is facing accusations she didn't have a legitimate wardrobe malfunction at Sunday night's MTV VMAs.
Minaj said she "ran out of time getting zipped up" before performing Sunday, which nearly caused some of her lady parts to make their prime time debut.
However, TMZ reports, the whole thing was staged.
So ... an attention-starved celebrity may have done something potentially embarrassing just for the sake of getting publicity?
Yet, sources reportedly said Minaj rehearsed Sunday morning with the unzipped dress. Producers even had a makeshift dressing room ready, directly off the stage, so Minaj could recover and complete her wardrobe change.
"She could never get into that dress," a source told Us Weekly. "During the dress rehearsal she did the number numerous times and could not make it into the dress zipped up even once."
"I've no idea why she didn't just decide to wear something else," the source said. "She just didn't have the time to change from one outfit to another, there was no way."
I'm just glad it's not true, so I don't have to feel cheapened by giving her publicity.
The "Anaconda" rapper joked about the "incident" while arriving at the Republic Records after party at Project LA on Sunday night.
"You all know I had a wardrobe malfunction," she yelled to reporters.
It's a good thing they acknowledged her, or she might've had another one right then and there.
"God is good," she later wrote on Instagram. "As long as a nipple didn't come out to play, I'm fine."

I made no resolutions or goals for the year, just figure I'll ride until it hurts.
Hiking in the snow on Tuesday, did some sufferfest videos on the trainer Wednesday and Thursday, repeats on Williams Hill Friday, 18 miles on trails Saturday, 10 miles on Sunday. On Monday I was really, really sore. I walked around the house like a zombie, sore from the riding and going over the bars. Fell down the basement steps and jammed up a couple of fingers. Horrible day.
Felt better today, did a bit of riding out at the Double D, took my bow saw and cut out a couple of fallen trees. Lots of snow on the trail and even the gravel laden surface of the Double D was soft and slow.
Some of my mountain bike buddies traveled to Georgia to challenge themselves at the Snake Creek Gap Time Trial. Pretty awesome, Lee hammered out the 34 mile course in 4:06, over an 8 mile an hour average and Moe wasn't very far behind. The course is tough, lots of climbing, lots of single track, lots of rock gardens.
These are guys I ride with on occasion. Sometimes I don't realize just how good the crew of riders around here are, it took me 5 years and 50 pounds just to be there to see them ride away from me up a hill.
