  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 179 – Wrestlemania Weekend 2015
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 179 – WrestleMania Weekend 2015 We didn't have an issue last week due to WrestleMania Weekend, and our preparation for various events. However, we are back this week for what will be, behind the yearbook, most likely our biggest issue of the year covering not only WrestleMania 31, but also all the WWN Live shows (excluding Kaiju), the Hall of Fame, last week's RAW and NXT, Balor/Owens, the post-Mania RAW, terrific ratings, and more! It was the happiest time of the year – WrestleMania Weekend. – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor WrestleMania 31: A Classic Show? Not Really. Ryan Clingman. It seems strangely apropos that the most important piece of build on this year's Road to WrestleMania took place not in a medium governed by the pens of creative, or even exclusively by the whims of Vince McMahon, but rather through the contract negotiations between the aforementioned VKM and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. With Mania excitement as low as it has been in years, perhaps decades the WrestleMania 31 outlook was far from positive – a reality further compounded by what seemed to be the inevitable departure of Brock Lesnar for a second run with the UFC. Whilst Creative was not remedied during the final week's build, nor may it be recovering a week on from the year's biggest show, last week's breaking news of Lesnar re-signing with the company, soon heated, at least somewhat, a build that had been fast approaching absolute zero. No longer, as in WrestleManias over the past five years, was this show's closing image predictable – the opposite was the case, in fact, as many a possibility involving Lesnar, the heel who was over like a God, Reigns, who was hated by the majority, and Seth Rollins, the Money in the Bank briefcase holder with respect from the hardcore fanbase – were possible.

    City of Kingsville, Texas Staff Report (A Publication of the City Manager’s Office) Monday, July 14, 2014 “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Thomas Jefferson, www.brainyquote.com “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” John F. Kennedy, www.12manage.com FOCUS ON EMPLOYEES (Courtesy of Vince Capell, City Manager) Good Job Award!!! Sometimes it’s the little things that matter most. I experienced this personally with the good folks at the City’s Landfill. It was early on a Thursday morning and I was trying to get out of town to attend an annual conference of city managers. Before I could leave, my wife tasked me with taking some items to the Landfill. When I arrived at the scale house it had been raining off- and-on for hours. Since my debris wasn’t of great Timothy (Tim) Flores significance, Timothy (Tim) Flores, Equipment Equipment Operator II Operator II, suggested that I drive to the opposite Landfill side of the scale house and place the items in the dumpster to avoid the muddy dump site. As far as I was concerned that helpful advice earned Tim an “ A+” grade and a “gold star” right from the beginning. As Tim offered I pulled my pickup truck around the scale house and parked it next to the dumpster. I exited the cab, pulled back the tarp, climbed onto the back of the truck and began placing items into the dumpster.
