Moving forward. That's the theme behind a press release from Joplin Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean on the controversial termination of now former City Manager Mark Rohr. She stresses that she can't comment on the details of Rohr's firing because it's a personnel matter, but adds that the City Council has "full confidence" with the City's staff on existing city projects. Read the full statement below:
Following the Joplin City Council's termination of City Manager Mark Rohr at the Special Council Meeting held February 4, Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean reassures the citizens that the City is moving forward and work will continue as usual.
"This was a personnel matter, and we cannot comment on the termination because it is confidential," said Kean. "Business at the City will proceed as usual. I and the other members of the Council have full confidence in the City staff as they remain diligent to the business and projects we have before us."
The City Council appointed Assistant City Manager Sam Anselm to serve as Interim City Manager during this time.

Not much has changed in Katie's life since our last update. She's still dating the same guy, and even though she recently was awarded full custody of Molli so that she could move closer to her guy, it appears that she's still in Utah for the time being. Katie hasn't made any mention of Joey in a while, and it appears that she's keeping busy with work, while also being a mom and a girlfriend. As far as we know, Katie is not currently enrolled in school, although she had previously expressed that she made the move to Utah so that she could continue her education and obtain a Bachelor's degree. Katie also has some baby fever going on lately, and has shared several Tweets stating that it's a good thing her boyfriend is 600 miles away.
Briana has a new boyfriend, and has been pretty open about her relationship with him online, although she hasn't mentioned a name for this guy anywhere. She's posted pictures of him hanging out with Nova, and her Twitter picture is one of those awkward kissing pictures that get put online by 13 year old girls. It appears that Briana has toned down her language on social media slightly, although she's still extremely open about sexual things. She's recently accepted a new job, and seems to be working a lot. Nova turned three on September 15th, and Briana says that she has an impressive vocabulary and her pronunciation of words is well above average.
Mackenzie and Josh are still raising their two children, Gannon and Jaxie. Gannon turns 3 soon, and Jaxie will be on in February. Josh and Mackenzie spend nearly every weekend at a rodeo where Josh competes. It seems like they take their kids with them most of the time, which is a positive, although that's a lot of travel for some little kids. Their latest rodeo took place in Amarillo, Texas. Mackenzie continues to sell handmade items in her Etsy shop, and it seems to still be picking up popularity even though Teen Mom 3 was cancelled after one season. Mackenzie also shared that her daughter, Jaxie, is now able to pull herself up on things.
Alex and Matt continue to argue about custody and visitation for their daughter, Arabella. Matt has been posting on social media that he's trying to get more visitation, while Alex always chimes in claiming that he's not doing anything to help their kid. Alex has shared some messages on Twitter lately about the situation, including this one:
No matter how many pictures you take it doesn't make you a real parent. Stop pretending to be something you are not.
— Alexandria Sekella (@OfficialSekella) September 7, 2014
Alex has also started making leotards for Arabella, since she's now enrolled in dance as a 3 year old. Alex has shown off two of the leotards, and they still have a lot of room for improvement, but she's saving money by making things herself, which is probably a plus. Alex continues to work two jobs to support her daughter, and has plans to attend community college sometime soon.

It's like this...I am somewhat ashamed to admit it but here goes...it's about the name of some peas and beans... you know the ones that are passed down in families....and they have family names... Like Aunt Mazies string beans or Grandma's Smith sweet peas...so I always wondered if the person that the Crowder pea was named for might be kin to me some how....cause that was my name for about 19 years....and I thought it was pretty cool that someone in my family had a pea named after them......so go ahead and laugh...but how was I to know it was cause they were all crammed into their little pod...no one ever told me and I thought quite possibly they might belong to a long lost relative... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe your family was named after the pea! :D |

Yes, that's possible too...where I was born and raised people were often given names of famous people or out of the sears roebuck catalog...I swear this is true...I met a little girl who's name was Pajama.....that's right Paje a Mae.... |
I was just kidding but you are right, there are some unusual names out there. I know a guy named Merlin. And people did used to be given names of what they did for work. Cooper = barrel maker, Carpenter - carpenter, Wood might be from woodsman, and the ubiquitous Smith refers to tinsmith and blacksmith, anyone who shaped metal by striking it. So maybe your family raised big fields of crowder peas? :) Or maybe its a variant of the English name Crowther(p)? |

"Delicious! I made these with some flash frozen wild salmon filets from a big box store that I had in the freezer. I poached the salmon, then flaked it along with the potato. A definite "go to" recipe. Loved them.""

Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch gets (almost) naked in L.A.
Every dreamed of seeing Florence and the Machine chanteuse Florence Welch not only in her gitch, but also doing a handstand in a bikini? Well then, your prayers have been officially answered. In a short film titled Florence Welch: Letter from LA, director Tabitha Denholm gives the world a good idea of what America looks like to the flame-haired U.K. siren responsible for such dream-pop offerings as "Rabbit Heart".
The mini-movie captures Welch channelling not the opening scene of David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., but also conveying a wide-eyed, spacey sense of wonder that's beyond endearing. Yes, believe it or not, Los Angeles actually comes off as a modern-day paradise, as opposed to a filthy seething cesspool resembling The Day of the Locust as re-imagined by Darren Aronofsky.
Letter from L.A. is part of a three-part series chronicling Welch's experiences of touring North America. Future installments will capture her in New Orleans and New York. Personally, we've got our fingers crossed that the Big Easy clip will have the singer doing her best to set a new world record for bead collecting during Mardi Gras, and New York will have her ruminating on how great Times Square must have been before that creep Rudy Giuliani turned it into the New York equivalent of Vancouver's Robson Street.
Times Square used to be a hell hole that was best avoided. It is now traffic free and one of the most popular places in the city. Unlike Robson Street, which is still choked with cars and dedicated only to shopping, Times Square is THE place to be - to people watch - to feel the pulse of the big city. It has bleachers for just that - name me one place else that has that.
Yawner of a video, too.
And your headline for this story is quite misleading, since when is wearing a modest (the bikini bottom even covers her navel, for crying out loud) two-piece swimsuit getting "almost naked"? Is this what journalism has devolved to these days? Misleading, provocative headlines designed to grab readers, not to mention unnecessary bashing of great cities? Please get yourself another job, Mr. Usinger. Because it's apparent that you don't care for having a thing called standards when it comes to your job.
And to the people complaining that the video is boring, if you're not a fan of the subject, then surely you didn't expect to be entertained by it, did you?

An Introduction to the 2012 Gothic Ginobili Player Capsules
Here at the Gothic, we have a big and possibly-too-often restated goal. We want to start discussions. We like talking -- not merely to hear our own voices, but to really engage our readers and the mass online following of basketball as a whole. Now, there isn't a ton to talk about in a long offseason. I think we all know that. There's the occasional trade, of course, and this year we have the Olympics to tide us over. (And yes, we'll be offering a bunch of Olympic coverage as well -- don't worry about that.) But on the whole, there's not all that much to talk about, other than frittering away at the narratives of a season gone by and handicapping a season we as-of-yet know nothing about. Not much to ruminate. We'd like to allay that, at least partially -- we'd like to give everyone something to talk about.
So here we are. ESPN has their crowdsourced #NBARank, Basketball Prospectus has its excellent preseason guide, and the esteemed John Hollinger has his thorough examinations of each player in the league for insider. And us, here at the Gothic? We offer for your consumption -- as both an offseason and an early season feature -- our Gothic Ginobili Player Capsules. Last season, before this blog even began, I did a whole lot of these. Seriously, a ton. In the GG archives we have a select few -- 30, to be precise -- but rest assured there were quite a few more. I completed 271 player capsules in the run-up to the 2012 season. They were posted on a private discussion forum, and most likely, will never see the light of day. They weren't at all edited, included more vulgarities than a classic J. Dana Teague rant, and some went far too long/short. It was a mess, basically.
This year, I'm going a bit loony. I've taken a list of every player in the NBA that played over 100 minutes last season -- that's 440 guys. I sifted through that list and took out 70 more players, because I couldn't find anything interesting to say about them and I needed to cut this project down to at least a moderately manageable amount. The plan, as it stands? Talk about the 370 players left. All of them. I've done some outlining, got some basic points set up, and worked the format down to where I get enough leeway to talk but enough structure to feel like everything comes together. I've compiled statistics for each player, articles, reports, et cetera.
And for the rest of 2012, I'm going to talk about them. Here's the plan, in a convenient and easily updated FAQ format.
• • •
When I started this project, updates came Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with six players each day. This quickly fell by the wayside as an outright ridiculous goal, leading to the current structure -- one post per day, Monday through Friday, three players a post. Around 10-15 thousand words a week, give or take. Lots of writing. As of August's conclusion, I'm proud to say I've only missed two days -- given that I'm a third of the way through the project, I admit, I'm pretty surprised about that. Still.
This is going to make up the majority of the Gothic's coverage this summer. This is a fact. I know that personally, this will make up the vast majority of my posts this summer. That doesn't mean that we aren't going to have other neat content, though -- Tuesdays and Thursdays will remain content-rich days for us, with our stable of wonderful writers (Adam Koscielak, Alex Arnon, Jacob Harmon, and most likely one or two new additions you'll be meeting soon) scribing their thoughts and mores as Alex Dewey leads them forward into a H.A.M. set of content primarily composed of Olympic content, thoughts on the free agency market, and a new audio courtroom-esque feature we'll be introducing in a few weeks. We aren't resting on our laurels, here. Trust us.

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Apr 6, 2011
SpotlightIn the Pink
I had to laugh at myself while I watched Legally Blonde The Musical at Overture Center last night. I've seen the 2001 Reese Witherspoon movie countless times, so I knew what to expect: a lovably naive girl, a quest to win back a boyfriend, a cute lap dog, plenty of pink. And yet I couldn't get enough of what I was seeing onstage!
This is a musical that knows itself and its audience—and delivers a lighthearted, upbeat show that's simply a lot of fun.
Nikki Bohne was pitch-perfect as Elle Woods, a Malibu sorority sister who's smart and sweet underneath the glitzy clothes and bleached hair. On the surface, Legally Blonde is about her journey to Harvard Law to make her ex, Warner Huntington III (played satisfyingly self-absorbed by Matthew Ragas), fall for her again. But the deeper message is about having the courage to stay true to oneself.
A delightful addition to the musical was Elle's sorority sisters appearing frequently as her own personal "Greek chorus," offering advice and encouragement as she confronted Warner, sparred with his new girlfriend and endured the challenges of Harvard. Hairdresser friend Paulette and fitness instructor-turned-murder-suspect Brooke were also enjoyable to see and, particularly, hear.
And I certainly wasn't the only one who squealed the first—and, really, every—time teeny dog Bruiser ran onto the stage. (The same can be said for the sequined pink suit Elle donned in the finale.)
To be sure, the audience seemed appreciative of the fun playing out at Overture Hall. It's been a long winter; why not get your pink on?
Legally Blonde The Musical runs through Sunday at Overture Center. For more information, visit overturecenter.com.

(SAN FRANCISCO) -- A single "Coin" in your pocket might help you pay all your expenses. That's the name of an all-in-one digital card made by a San Francisco-based company also called Coin. The idea is that this smartphone-connected payment card would replace all the plastic people lug around with them now. It would act as a credit card, debit card and gift card.
Sounds great, right? Well, some people are worried if they lose their Coin, it would present a huge problem. Coin, the company, has got the security issue worked out with a feature that quickly disables the single card.
But before it hits the market next year at a cost of $55, there are other bugs to work out. For instance, if your phone's battery dies, Coin is essentially rendered useless until a charge-up. One other thing probably can't be helped: when people inadvertently leave their phones at home.

She's gorgeous, fabulously blond, and clad in quilted pink Tocca and sky-high Jimmy Choos. He's sporting distressed leather, badass Sama shades, and quite frankly, not the best skin. Who will win the box office battle? Well, it's not like ''Legally Blonde 2'''s Elle Woods would ever willingly rub her exfoliated elbows with ''T3'''s Terminator, but their films are facing off on July 4 weekend. And while no one is claiming Bruiser will trump the rise of the machines, for once the advantage doesn't automatically fall to the picture catering to the excitable teenage boys of summer. In the wake of films like ''Bring It On'' (which grossed $68 million), ''How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'' ($106 million), ''Charlie's Angels'' ($125 million), ''Bridget Jones's Diary'' ($72 million), and ''The Princess Diaries'' ($108 million), Hollywood appears to have finally fully embraced the so-called chick flick.
''All stigma goes away when movies are very, very successful,'' says Chris McGurk, vice chairman and COO of MGM, the studio behind the $97 million-and-counting ''Legally Blonde'' franchise. ''The studios have found that there is a very strong market for movies that feature young women in roles that are empowering.'' Additionally, '''Blonde' proved that you can have an enormously successful movie that primarily appealed to [young women].''
''The conventional wisdom used to be that girls will go to boy movies but boys won't go to girl movies, so studios tended to make boy movies and tried to get both audiences,'' says Fox Searchlight marketing prez Nancy Utley, who coordinated the campaign for jockette indie hit ''Bend It Like Beckham.'' ''But the success of 'Legally Blonde' and female titles shows that when girls feel a connection to a movie they come out in droves. It's a very viable audience.''
Not to mention a tech-savvy audience that offers a hidden, cost-saving advantage to smaller studios: ''The immediate culture that kids live in in terms of e-mailing each other enables word of mouth to travel faster than it used to,'' says Utley, who relied heavily on grassroots marketing to sell ''Beckham,'' which has thus far grossed $24 million, with foreign accents and no stars.
Fortunately, there's plenty worth IM-ing about. Unlike the preceding generation -- whose pickin's were pretty much limited to John Hughes flicks like ''Pretty in Pink'' -- today's young female demo (including the increasingly critical tweens, ages 8 through 13) has many more choices. ''These girls have grown up with girl power -- it's something they take for granted. So it only makes sense to them to see women in film who are strong and reflect the kind of image they have of themselves,'' says Catherine Stellin, research and marketing director for Youth Intelligence, which tracks pop-culture trends.
In other words, today's chicks aren't waiting to be asked to the prom, they're throwing the proms, providing the talent that drives these new flicks, on screen and off. ''There's a lot more women actors who are bankable,'' says Erica Huggins, who produced the upcoming ''How to Deal,'' a movie also directed by a woman, Clare Kilner. ''You have Hilary Duff, Kate Hudson, [Deal star] Mandy Moore, Amanda Bynes. I don't remember that we've had that much talent at that age prior to this past year.'' Indeed, Duff and Moore are already signed up for other chick flicks, and even the ubiquitous Olsen twins have a film in the offing.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Eric Chavez is back on the disabled list.
Chavez was placed on the 15-day DL Friday with a strained right forearm. The move was retroactive to April 25. The A's recalled infielder Gregorio Petit from Triple-A Sacramento to take Chavez's roster spot.
Chavez played in just eight games and was hitting only .100 (3 for 30), before landing on the DL for the fourth time in the last three years. Chavez played in just 23 games last year after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder and has appeared in just 121 games in the last three seasons.
Petit was hitting .239 in 19 games at Sacramento. Petit made his major league debut with the A's last season, playing in 14 games during three stints.

Being born and raised in Bahrain is a privilege to an Expat like me. After the advent of Feb 14 2011, things have changed in Bahrain. For better or worse, I do not know. I do know one thing though, the methods and ideologies promoted by the opposition is not just and directly perpendicular to the national interest.
In the beginning, I along with several of my Expat comrades were honestly undeterred by these events. As time flew, it began to affect us socially and personally. I even lost my job.
Agreed, there has been drawbacks from the Bahraini Government. Agreed, that violence was used by the government due to poor policing techniques in the initial stages of the 'fake' revolution.
But, no one has put forward their hand for a handshake as the Bahraini Government has. After repeated attempts by the Bahraini government for open-talks, the opposition refuses to acknowledge them and ridicules the government for their pacifist behaviour. Speaking about Bahrain's opposition, it's simply a general part of the population with rightful demands being hijacked by a not-so-peaceful opposition party known as the Al-Wefaq.
This so called fake-revolution is fought on two parallel locations – One on the streets of Bahrain where burned, wounded policemen and tear-gassed, stunned rioters are counted as signs of victory. The other being on social platforms like Twitter and Facebook where sympathisers, retweets and dramatization of events are counted as signs of victory.
The PR mantle of the opposition is led by interesting characters who has a flair for the dramatics, make-up and stage – notably Mr Nabeel Rajab, Ms Zainab Alkhawaja and Ms Maryam Alkhawaja along with several international wanna-be 'Human Rights' companies whose services are available for the highest bidder. Their famous yet predictable methods are such – call for a 'peaceful' rally, gather in a public place and ask their hooligans who are hidden behind women and children to attack the policemen. Thus, forcing the police to retaliate with tear-gas and what follows is drama of the highest Oscar performance.
Bahrain has got used to the rioters' tantrums of traffic jams, burning tyres on the road, shooting metal projectiles, molotov cocktails flying over the cars and the resultant tear-gassing by the Police. It's a part of our daily life in Bahrain now.
The Bahrain government has shown high levels of restraint against the rioters and is pushing forward to right wrongs and build up Bahrain confidently. The police are being trained by international experts on riot-control and has shown amazing perseverance for their job-profiles and danger included. Yet, the Al-Wefaq party diminishes the Bahrain government's initiative to turn a new leaf by inciting violence, sectarianism and hatred among Bahrainis.
It is quite evident that the opposition has absolutely zero desire in Bahrain's betterment. A classic example is the revival of the F1 race in Bahrain which the opposition have been tirelessly campaigning to cancel. Before the fake revolution, most of us were not aware of Sunni or Shia in Bahrain, there were only Bahrainis. Al-Wefaq fails in their duty if Bahrain stands united and prosperous. Some say, they would then have to answer to the country across the sea for their failed performance.
People ask me why I do what I do. I am no citizen. My tenure in this country lasts only long as my work visa. I do not get any benefits that the people of Bahrain take as granted. The King does not even know that I exist. I always reply 'BAHRAIN is home'.

The portofolio of Lina Scheynius is filled with raw emotion that feels spontaneous and unstaged. This is partially a result of the low lighting and unusual settings in combination with the movements and poses of the many models she has lensed.
The photos take the models from motel bedrooms to bodies of water, but each of them tells a story of distressed helplessness. This may be because the people she features in her shoots are anything but models. When asked who she likes to shoot, Scheynius replied, "Friends, loves, family, models, me. Anyone who can pretend that the camera isn't there."

DUNEDIN, Fla. — The biggest mistake general manager Ben Cherington made last offseason, by his own admission, was not acquiring enough depth for the starting rotation.
He appears to have learned from that.
Four games into Boston's Grapefruit League slate in 2013, the biggest development out of Red Sox camp is the surplus of starting options the team has accumulated in the high minors. That luxury was on full display on Monday in Dunedin, when Steven Wright and Allen Webster combined to strike out seven in four impressive innings against the Blue Jays.
Manager John Farrell said seeing the two right-handers in person — and not visiting his old stomping grounds — was the real reason he opted for the 2½-hour trek north rather than the easy 40-minute drive to Port Charlotte, where most of the Red Sox regulars faced the Rays. Farrell's decision was worth the drive.
"Today was very encouraging," the manager said. "On a good year health-wise, hopefully they're going to continue on a development path. But in the event that needs arise, this type of environment, this type of experience will serve them well as they start the year at the minor-league level."
Wright has been one of the most discussed names in camp — including from Red Sox brass — as he continues to develop a knuckleball he started to throw only two years ago. Boston has brought in Tim Wakefield to assist Wright, who owns a harder (mid-70s mph) knuckleball akin to the one R.A. Dickey rode to the National League Cy Young Award last year.
Opposing Dickey on Monday, Wright was solid. He kept the Jays off the board while allowing two hits in two innings. He struck out three but did struggle a little with his command, throwing 24 of his 39 pitches for strikes.
"I felt good. A little antsy at first, but I felt I was able to get that in order and compete," Wright said. "The goal [is] to put myself out there and just compete and, if the time comes and I get an opportunity, I'm just going to try to take advantage of it."
Said Ferrell, "On a rare day when you've got two knuckleballers going, I thought he threw a darn good one."
Like Rubby De La Rosa on Sunday in Jupiter, Webster was the scene-stealer Monday against Toronto. After allowing an early RBI double to Melky Cabrera, Webster punched out four straight Jays: Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, J.P. Arencibia and Brett Lawrie. That's not exactly exploiting a spring training lineup. As Webster said, they were "probably" the four toughest hitters he'd ever faced.
Webster hit 99 on the radar gun in Dunedin while mixing in a changeup that had Toronto hitters rocking back and forth at the plate. His three-pitch strikeout of Arencibia — fastball at 95, changeup at 86, fastball at 96 — seemed unfair for Feb. 25.
"Equally impressive to the arm strength and the action to his fastball is he has a secondary pitch he can go to as a putaway with a changeup," Farrell said. "And when he gets in trouble, he has the ability to slow people down with a power change that's got finishing action to it. He was impressive — very impressive."
Farrell and Cherington are aware of what a lack of starting depth can do to a team. In 2012, when Daniel Bard didn't pan out as a starter, the Red Sox turned to Aaron Cook, who posted a 5.65 ERA in 18 starts. Daisuke Matsuzaka returned from Tommy John surgery with an 8.28 ERA in 11 starts. Zach Stewart allowed 14 runs in fewer than six innings in two starts.
Carlos Silva didn't even get into a spring training game. Vicente Padilla turned into a serviceable reliever. Ross Ohlendorf opted out to sign with the Padres.
Franklin Morales was the only legitimate option the Sox possessed outside of their original five, and using him in the rotation took away from Boston's bullpen.
Somehow, that barely compared to what Farrell endured with the Blue Jays in 2012. Toronto's season fell apart the same time its starting staff did when Brandon Morrow, Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison suffered injuries the same week. The Jays ended up handing starts to seven other pitchers over the course of the season, with Carlos Villanueva the only one approximating success.
The Red Sox hope they don't need pitchers such as Wright and Webster and De La Rosa at the major-league level this season. But no team gets 162 starts from its original starting rotation, and with Morales and Alfredo Aceves also stretching out this spring, Boston has options — legitimate ones — when Plan A is inevitably interrupted.
"I feel better about the depth and the options we have, but there's no doubt it's an area we need to improve over last year," Cherington said at the opening of camp. "We cannot be where we want to be unless we get a better performance out of that group."
So far, so good.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Casper!
Facts about Casper
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Casper's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Casper is a sweet, loveable dog who was dumped near the State Police Barracks off the highway. We believe he may be hearing impaired,so we have begun to teach him hand signals. He loves playing outside and gets along fine with other dogs and cats. He would do well with children over 12 who are energetic enough to run and play with him. He walks nicely on a leash and knows how to sit and lay down. He loves being with people, and would make a great family pet. To meet this sweet boy, please contact Southbury Animal control
Other Pets at Southbury Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Casper, a Southbury German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier for sale in Southbury, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Southbury.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Southbury already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Southbury breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Southbury paves the way for another one to be saved.
