Catching Up With...Pat O'Connor
Catching up with... Pat O'Connor
Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki Team Manager/Pit Boss, Pat O'Connor, has landed a huge name for the team this summer. Ryan Villopoto's younger brother, Tyler Villopoto, has signed to ride the MX1 class to add to their already potent squad. We talked to Pat about that as well as just about everything else to do with the team and the 2012 season.
DMX: Hello, Pat. How are you? What are you up to?
Pat O'Connor: Hey, dude, what's shakin'? At this very moment I just ran up the stairs from working on Tyler Villopoto's race bike. The bikes are half done and I'm just plugging away and finalizing some different sponsors—just working away.
What have you been doing all winter?
After Montreal I packed up my goods and went home for a bit and did some concrete. Work was kind of slow so I came back up to Kamloops to help out. They're a bit short-staffed right now. Jay (Leading Edge owner, Jason Hughes) made me an offer I couldn't refuse, so here I am. I've been doing a little bit of everything, running around filling in where I can. I've been sneaking some race stuff in when nobody's looking (laughs).
Ok, before we get to the big signing news, let's talk about how the rest of your team has come together. Let's start with Kyle Beaton.
Beaton was a two year deal and everybody knows he hurt himself training in California last year. He got to watch everybody race outdoors last year and we got him a bike in September. From that point on he started practicing for supercross and he's been down there doing that. He'll be back for the nationals. I also heard from some people down there that he's riding really, really fast. That comes as no surprise for me and I think he's going to be awesome this summer.
I was looking at the results from that REM race at Glen Helen and he was definitely in there, for sure. It sounds weird to say this about Kyle, but he needs to practice his starts. He's been lacking a little with his trigger finger this winter. Once he gets that figured out, we'll be good to go.
Donk(l) will be reunited with Kyle Beaton for the 2012 MX2 season.

How about Matt Goerke? People are talking about how he's living in California and getting practice on hard-packed tracks, so do you think he'll be faster on all the tracks this year?
If anybody doesn't expect Matt to do well this year on anything other than sand they are crazy and they're overlooking a super-fast guy, for sure. Right now he's healthy, he's in a good mood, and we've been testing. In between supercrosses, he's been riding his Kawasaki and testing Pirelli tires and suspension stuff with C4. He's coming in healthy and he shouldn't be overlooked.
Then we have Teddy Maier dropping down to the MX2 class. What are your thoughts on him?
Teddy is super-fast in either class we put him in. We didn't really know who we were going to have as a fourth guy—Austin Politelli isn't coming back and, at the time we made the decision, Tyler Sjoberg wasn't coming back—so we needed a solid guy to team up with Kyle in MX2. If we have any troubles with one rider then we can rely on the second guy. We thought we had a better chance of filling the 450 class with a solid guy than we did the 250 class, so we moved Teddy over. He was ok with it and knows the bikes are really good. He's got a really good chance of doing extremely well and we expect that from him. We're expecting wins in both classes this year. Put it this way, if our guys are not on the podium every moto, we need to figure out why.
I should also mention that Tyler Sjoberg will be back with us in the MX2 class.
We went after all 4 of the top Canadian riders and nothing we had was good enough for the Canadian boys. We were willing to part with some money, man! Money we didn't have, we were willing to part with.
We also have Jaromir Romancik who will be taking over Brock Hoyer's spot on our B team. He's been down south training with Kyle for the last month. He's a super-nice kid and super-hardworking. He's on our B team riding the 450 class. If he shows some promise in the west, we'll be taking him east.

Ok, let's talk about the signing of Tyler Villopoto. I nicknamed him 'TYPO' by the way. How did this all happen?
(Laughs) Ya, I heard that. You can claim that one. We're getting lots of people asking questions about this. I got a call from Steve Matthes from PulpMX and DMX asking if we were interested in the idea of somehow supporting Tyler Villopoto in the western nationals because he now wants to have pro motocross as a career. I told Steve then and there that we were definitely interested and we'll figure out something.
From there, Steve gave my number to Ryan (Villopoto), his older brother, and he phoned me. Ryan has been working a little bit as Tyler's agent and we just started figuring things out. As some of our other 450 leads were slowly slipping away, we sat down with Ryan, Tyler, and Jason Hughes and we decided to move forward on Tyler and see if he's interested in riding the entire season and what he wants and expects, so we did.
He's got a 450 down in California that he's been riding. We sent him out with Kyle Beaton and Teddy Maier to Milestone so we could gauge his speed because we don't know. From speaking with Kyle and Teddy, we decided that he was definitely going to be fast enough for the class.
From there, we just moved forward to what it was going to take to get him on our team and how we could fit him in our budget. It all worked out and he's signed. He's doing the whole series for our team.
So, did Monster or Ryan have any extra influence in your decision?
Monster is no more involved at this point with Tyler than they were without Tyler. They're not pressuring us, if that's what you're getting at. They aren't giving us extra funds for him. They aren't involved any more now than they were.
Ryan is not paying for Tyler's ride, either. Tyler is a member of this team on his own.
How much did you know about Tyler from his amateur days?
He's been under the radar for a long time. He's been 'Ryan's younger brother.' He decided a while ago that he didn't want to race professionally because his brother had that spot and there's a really good possibility that he's not ever going to be as fast as Ryan. I don't know what was going through his mind at the time, but he decided not to push racing full-time. Having said that, he's been riding the whole time. He's had support from Team Green and still does from Thor and Alpinestars , and from his brother and from the family. Now he's made the decision that he wants to be a professional racer and Ryan is willing to help him out with it.

Who is going to be Tyler's mechanic this summer?
Frenchie (Luc Caouette) is going to be Tyler's mechanic and Donk (Scott Donkersgoed) is going to stay with Kyle.
Does this mean there's a chance we'll see Ryan at some races that don't conflict with his AMA national schedule?
Well, the only weekend that doesn't conflict with his stuff, as of right now, is Edmonton. I know that there's a rumour flying around out there somehow, someway, that he's going to be at Walton—he will NOT be at Walton. I can confirm that right now. He's not interested in flying a red-eye from Unadilla to Walton. He has shown interest that if we want him to come up to Edmonton and sign autographs and be an honorary Leading Edge team member for the weekend, he will do that.
Aside from Tyler's skill on a bike, I assume his last name played into your decision too, right?
No doubt about it—absolutely. Yes. I'm not going to dodge that one, for sure. I mean, of course, right. That's already helped us in some stuff and he hasn't even been up here yet. That was definitely a factor in it. Having said that, we're going to be disappointed if he comes up here and doesn't hit the top 5 every weekend. After talking to him about it, and talking to Ryan about it, he's going really fast.
I think that having him on our team will get us more press than any one of the other three guys winning the championship. I believe that.
I just spoke to Andy Wilson and he saw him out at Glen Helen and he said Tyler was passing some guys, some name guys that I'm not going to name, but guys that are running in the top 10 in supercross right now. It may not mean anything to anybody, but it shows that he's got some speed.
What do you think of his style? He throws the bike around every chance he gets.
We're going to try our best to make him stop doing that and to just focus on going forward instead of sideways. Ryan has mentioned a little bit about that too and so has Tyler, we've talked to him about it. All the scrubbing stuff you see on the internet was pretty much all for the camera. If he's coming up here and doing really well and wants to scrub every jump, he can go right ahead (laughs). I think we need to focus on the fundamentals of going forward instead of sideways.
He seems like a very personable guy.
Ya, Ryan seems to be a pretty reserved guy, for the most part, but I know that in talking with some other people that, once you get to know Ryan, he's like Dusty (Klatt), he keeps to himself, but once you get in he's a great guy. Tyler is open and he's willing to shoot the shit with you and chat about anything. He's very outgoing and always in a good mood. He seems to be a great guy.
He's had some injuries in the past and most of them have been from play-riding and screwing around.
Luc "Frenchie" Caouette(l) will handle the wrenching duties for Villopoto while O'Connor(r) will be back in his usual spot with Teddy Maier.
James Lissimore photo
When will he hit the ground up here?
Well, we've asked him to come up here as early as he's comfortable with. He's testing suspension, as we speak at Glen Helen today with Graham, our suspension guy. As soon as we get him comfortable on the bike and C4MX gets that thing going to where they like it, he's coming straight up and we're going to start going riding. The snow is all gone and we're dirt biking right now.
At this point, Pat started throwing facts at me from all over the place. Here are some of the highlights:
Villopoto's number will be #161 and Beaton's number is going to be #108. Somebody snagged the #132 from us but he's got Dean Wilson's old number.
FMF is no longer doing a drink, so we can display the FMF logos on our bikes this year.
VP Fuels makes a great fuel and came to us with a really good offer that, in this economy, we could not refuse.
When Tyler gets up here, we're going to go to all the western tracks and ride them, test out some tires, and figure out what works.
Well, thanks for all the stories, Pat. Thanks for talking with us and best of luck.
No problem. See you soon.

Way to Go Joe! You've got a great site, a great work ethic, and it's obvious your clients are getting great service!
Best wishes from Rochester, NY
Nice video. Clever. Now, how did you distribute it? Is that what John B is asking? This was embedded in an email? …or posted on a website? I'm not familiar with WordPress- I guess I'd best google it and come up to date.
Creative, unique perspective, and interesting subjects. Nice work! Cheers from across the pond :)
These girls are brilliant!….& the bloke that shot the video is not bad either!…I've worked with Joe on many business videos & he's much more than a Videographer, he always adds original & relevant creative sales input to the story.
Funny, they look like they could be your kids.
This was an html email instead of a plainly formatted email message. Did you send this yourself, or use a service? I'm wondering about this message because I get a message about remote content when I get this type of email via wordpress. Basically, I wonder if you get statistics regarding people seing it.

Angola on a New York Budget, Part 4
I'm not sure it's going to happen any time soon, but Benguela really does have potential for tourism. The beaches stretch on for miles, parts of downtown feel like Miami, and there are new restaurants and hotels that, while not great for a shoestring budget, are nonetheless reasonably priced. The nicest hotel in town goes for about $250 a night, and you can get a good dinner for $25. There are a couple of great outdoor bars right on the beach. At one called the Aircraft Carrier—impressively, it actually looks somewhat like its namesake—I had a bottle of local beer for $3 and a ham-and-cheese sandwich for $10.
My stay in Benguela was so pleasant, in fact, that I found myself wondering if maybe I needed to be kinder in my criticism of Luanda. Sure, it's a tough town, but I'd also been jet-lagged when I arrived. Maybe with a bit more sleep under my belt I'd be more able to handle the city's grind.
But the minute I re-connected with the capital my blood pressure began to spike.My flight from Benguela was pushed from Friday to Saturday, and when I called my translator in Luanda with the news, a list of problems materialized. "What about your hotel?" he began. And the driver? And tickets to Sunday's final? And the interview I'd asked him to arrange? And on and on and on. I tried to reassure him that everything would be okay, but he managed to get me worked up nonetheless. I was suddenly dreading Luanda and its traffic and high cost all over again.
I went to the Benguela airport this morning and ran into Finbarr O'Reilly, a Reuters photographer that I'd met in Kinshasa in late 2002, when I was looking for an apartment there. I'd been hired by the Associated Press to cover the Congo and central Africa, and I'd flown to Kinshasa to find a place to live. I was supposed to buy Finbarr's car—he was moving away and had a beat-up but functional Toyota, as I recall—but the purchase never happened. A new front exploded in the Ivory Coast civil war, and I got called back to Abidjan.
Anyway, while speaking with Finbarr at the Benguela airport I mentioned my goal of trying to live in Angola on a New York budget. His response was simple: "You can't."
Victor, my driver, met me at the Luanda airport, and we set off to find my hotel. I arrived in Angola six days ago carrying $5,000 in cash. When I flew into Luanda this morning I had $1,300 left. (And that's with three free nights of lodging in Benguela.) Thirteen hundred dollars might have been enough to cover my last few days here. Or it might not. My former Luanda hotel—the Fleuma—couldn't promise my old room ($145) upon my return. The room they could promise was a massive suite—two sitting rooms, two TVs, king bed, large bathroom—but it was just as grubby as the cheaper room, and it cost $300 a night. In cash.
And cash is the problem. Adding up my probable costs—hotel, meals, driver, translator/fixer for two days, etc—I was worried I wouldn't have the cash to cover it all. So I needed a hotel that accepted credit cards. Which brings me to Skyna.
Skyna is the newest hotel in Luanda. Fourteen stories tall, it is in the heart of downtown and has a view that sweeps out over government buildings and construction projects and rubble on its way to the sea. It takes credit cards, and it had availability. And so here I am.
It's too new of a structure, really, to tell how nice it is. (It opened in November.) At this stage all the shiny surfaces and smooth gadgetry could be pasted into place for all I know, soon to peel and warp and clank to the floor. Already the wallpaper in my room is fraying here and there, the carpet is bubbling up in spots, and a piece of the shower nozzle is lying on the bathmat. But perhaps I'm being picky. I did, after all, have a gloriously hot shower upon my arrival, the air-conditioning is purring along, and the picture on the flat-screen TV is clear.
But is it worth $390 a night? And what should I have for dinner? There's a $16 omelet, a $22 club sandwich, and a $42 lamb chop. I could wash it all down with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot ($214) or Dom Perignon ($582). Earlier today, in my ongoing effort to stick to a New York budget (and in anticipation of the hotel meal prices), I tried to buy bananas from a street vendor. But she wanted more than $10 a bunch—cheaper than my room-service menu, but my driver wouldn't let me buy them; he knew they were overpriced. I tried to bargain with the woman but she just ignored me. Someone else would come along.
Clients will fill this hotel. And they'll fill the several others that are nearly complete in other parts of town as well. Angola is flush with oil—it's now producing almost as many barrels a day as Nigeria, Africa's number one oil producer—and the government is pulling out all the stops. The country's leaders have been counseled to diversify and engage in careful planning, since experts predict that the oil reserves won't last more than twenty-five years or so. But it's not clear anyone's listening. The oil companies are flocking in, and those in power seem interested only in what can be done to ease their way. As long as that remains true, you can count on Luanda maintaining its status as the most expensive city in the world.

Looking for a Massachusetts surgeon willing to submit insurance claim
I have an abdominal hernia, a diastasis, and a disinserted belly button. I want to have a tummy tuck, but I need to find a surgeon who would be willing to request authorization for insurance coverage of the procedures I want to have done. I know that apart from the hernia, these are commonly considered strictly cosmetic procedures. However, I have consistent lower back pain and pressure along the diastasis when I'm active, or even sometimes just when sitting for long periods of time. My midwife/ob office said my diastasis was wide, 2 inches in the middle.
Does anyone know of a cosmetic surgeon in Massachusetts who will submit insurance claims for a tummy tuck, even though they may be denied?

Tony Cummings chronicles the vast contribution made to the creative arts and evangelism by the international "brand" THE CONTINENTAL SINGERS
One of the challenging things about maintaining the Cross Rhythms website is that Christian music is crammed with unwritten history. As well as the tidal wave of newcomers continually emerging onto the scene with impressive new recordings, there are many established ministries, some going back decades, who have had little or no attention from journalists and music historians. Such is the case of The Continental Singers, otherwise known as The Continentals. Here is an international ministry whose achievements are little short of staggering. They have recorded over 60 albums, they have diversified into a myriad of splinter groups (The Continental Voices And Brass, The Young Continentals, The Encore Continentals, Continental Kids, etc, etc), and under the watchful eye of Continental Worldwide Ministries they play over 1,500 concerts a year. Yet despite all this you will find no listing of The Continentals in Wikipedia or for that matter, The Encyclopedia Of Contemporary Christian Music. There could be several reasons for this lack of media coverage. For a start, The Continental Singers' music has always travelled the middle of the road, bringing a pop element into choir music to produce a smooth, some would say sanitised, style which has mums and dads appeal of which cool music elements find easy to dismiss. For another thing, The Continental Singers are less a group than a brand with dozens of aggregations using the brand name touring simultaneously and sometimes recording in different parts of the world. However, down the years the Continentals have communicated spiritual truth to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.
The creative mastermind behind the whole Continental Singers ministry phenomenon is a composer, musician and choir director based in California called Cam Floria. Recently he spoke to Cross Rhythms. He said, "I started in Youth For Christ in Portland Oregon in 1963. Our first tour had 20 singers and a small brass and rhythm section and we went to Indiana for YFC'S annual Winona Lake Convention. We won the Choral competition. We did three tours out of Portland. I stopped for a year and finished up my Masters programme in Music Education and moved down to Los Angeles to be near Ralph Carmichael. Ralph's early music, much of it from Billy Graham films, became much of our programmes after we started our own company."
The first albums bearing the Continental Singers name were 'Sing A Happy Song' (1963), 'Sing A Song Along' (1964) and 'Life Is A Symphony' (1965). Cam has fond memories of that decidedly primitive 1963 album. "The first recording was a result of that trip back to Indiana in 1963. I got the idea to do an album of all the popular youth choruses of the day. So when we got back, I did the arrangements and we went to a local radio studio and stood around one old Telefunken microphone and recorded the whole album in one day... including the bass and accordion and drums which sat on the side and were picked up by the same mic. It cost $300! I sent the tape to Word Records and they called me immediately. They loved it, as bad as it was, and they sent me $100 to take a picture of the group. They put the LP on their record club's top Album Of The Month and we sold 20,000 in the first month! And off we went. We recorded two more records for Word the next year only this time at the end of our long summer tour... in Hollywood at Capitol Records with a lot more than one microphone!"
Cam continued, "The real birth of the Continentals as we know it today was spring of 1967 and Ralph and I were the original board members. It began as a non-profit organisation and is still the same today and today there are 12 board members. These last two years we have been celebrating 40 years of ministry. But actually we are well into our 41st at the moment."
Down the years the Continental Singers have regularly visited the recording studio. Said Cam, "We have had at least one album a year since 1963. We missed '66, but had two in '65 anyway. Otherwise if you count New Hope, Renaissance, Jeremiah People, Reality, Donny Monk and Friends, the Young Continentals, the Continental Orchestra and the Continental Brass - all groups we have started from Continentals - we have over 65 records. The music changed as the secular styles changed and as contemporary music changed. We had to in order to stay current and relative to the youth of our country. In the beginning rock was just an infant, we adopted it as soon as the Christian world recognized and accepted it."
In a church age where evangelism is usually perceived as a separate ministry to praise and worship, the Continentals have always embraced both. Said Cam, "The Continentals are both evangelistic and praise and worship. In fact with our 'Come Bless The Lord' series which started in 1978 we had one of the very first praise and worship albums. My first record in 1963 was a compilation of that day's top Christian choruses which later became the praise and worship formula. Most of our music is evangelistic however, as our calling is to expand the Kingdom of God through the performing arts. We started Jeremiah People to minister totally to the Church. They were never evangelistic."
By the mid-'70s The Continentals had become well and truly an international phenomenon. Netherlands-based author and theologian Leen La Riviere, who is one of the 12 board members of Continental Worldwide Ministries and who runs the renowned Christian Artists Europe Seminar, spoke about his long-time involvement with The Continentals. "In 1969 a friend, being a musical director, got a letter from Cam that he wanted to send a group, The Continentals, to the Netherlands. Panic in the house. This director called me to help, as I had been doing a number of musical and other types of small and large scale events. This first tour became an immense success and so it is till today. That first tour literally changed my life. Here I saw for the first time a combination of youth involvement, faith and contemporary music I had been searching for. God used that to present me the question to take up the Continentals as a personal mission. I did. Every year the American Continentals kept coming, in 1971 I started the European coordination for the Continental ministry, in 1974 we started to tour in communistic eastern Europe (first Poland, next Hungary, Romania, Russia; in secret DDR/East-Germany and Tsjecho Slovakia). In 1974 I started the first Dutch non-American Continental group. Those experiences for the next 10 years laid the foundation for cross-cultural development of other non-American Continental groups: German, French, Italian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian. Now we have approximately 25 European Continental groups on the road each year! For a while there were British Continentals but today they are part of the European network. Approximately 500 young people in professional training; a leadership training school; a special kids programme (age eight-13); and 400 concerts in Europe, reaching an audience of 100,000 people per year."
Cam Floria took up the topic of The Continentals' extraordinary expansion. "We have at the present 16 global offices that have their own Continentals performing groups, from the Kenyan Continentals to the Chilean Continentals. This year we will begin in India with the first Indian Continentals and hopefully next year in the Philippines. I see no reason why the Continentals will not continue into the foreseeable future as long as the music and performance remains relevant and the ministry continues to be so effective in reaching people with the Gospel. Each office is financially independent, though we do provide music and production ideas to each office. It is fascinating to see the same programme work with the Japanese Continentals as it does for the Mexican Continentals. The Brazilian Continentals, however, have had to adjust and they major on dance and the Kenyans on more ethnic African music."
Down the years major Christian music figures like Wayne Watson, Steve Taylor and Robert Sterling have cut their musical teeth with The Continentals. Said Cam, "We are the largest grassroots recruiting organisation for contemporary Christian music... hundreds and hundreds of our alumni have gone on to become the worship pastors in so many churches in America. Our people are planted in Nashville and every record company there employs former Continentals. You will also find them in management companies, agencies and on the staff of many top Christian artists like Michael W Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman."
So there we have it. Despite their lack of an entry in Encyclopedia Of Contemporary Christian Music, despite their non-appearances at the annual Dove Awards, The Continental Singers have contributed a vast amount to the very fabric of contemporary Christian music. Cam Floria summed it up neatly, "Our greatest achievement is the 65,000 Continentals who have been through our touring programme. Their lives have been affected in a positive and spiritual way forever. In fact, it is well known that being a Continental is called the 'Life Changing Experience'."
Reader Comments
I had a tape of Continentals Volume 4 which I had put on a disc and it was my favourite disc. I played it all the time in my car but when my car was written off I lost ther disc and cannot seem to trace it. Unfortunately I cannot name any of the songs which were on it but I would love to be able to find a copy of it.
Trying to get a copy of the c.d. Containg all rise and a song that has the words killing children before they are born ,and this little child he is the king of kings. The band came to Redditch A.O.G .it would be about the 1990s
hello every one, my name is Wil I am searching for someone who used to be a member of the continentals. when I was a child my parents church asked who wanted s to help to give a sleepingplace in their home for one or two singers. they where one tour in the netherlands. the churche name was " pinkster gemeente Samuel" in Utrecht. at my home stayed a young woman named Marla and here last name I recall was something boudain or bourdin it sounds something like that. she came from Colorado. does someone recognize the description? thanks
I was with the Continentals in 1972. Somehow the listing of our musical, and album, It's Getting Late was omitted from the listing. My only other comment is - I would love to do it all again!! Thanks Cam. and Howard Parker ;-)
I remember their albums in the 80s with great fondness - "The Dreamer" and "The Sky Shall Unfold". I believe their rendition of "We Are The Reason" is the best! Where can I purchase these albums? I lost the cassette and LP versions. God bless them for their music.
I enjoyed the Continentals' Concert in 1971 in Berlin. It was a very uplifting and worshipful concert and a wonderful memory!
My social studies teacher was in this band.that was in the 80's or 90's.man,that was looooong time ago.
I would like to know some titles or works of dustin cole evans that was with your group. I do not know when, except I know it was befor nov 2011. His date of birth was nov 1971. Thanks.
Cher, I am looking for a CS album that featured a quartet, but with extra guests. It was from the mid to late 70s I think. It included these sings:
"a thing called love"
"reach out and touch"
" noah found grace in the eyes of the lord"
"More (than you'll ever know)"
In 1976 I had the pleasure of seeing the continental singers perform at a local church and I have never forgot their presentation. That year they were singing a to celebrate the bicentennial. Was any of the songs included in that concert ever recorded? I would love to be able to buy a copy if they were.
Please let me know,

Her ouster as Democrats' whip was just deserts, a year late
Politicians who do not face competition can become cocksure and oblivious.
So it was with state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque. For a time, she considered herself untouchable.
Then she flashed her famous temper in a room occupied by fellow legislators and reporters.
Stapleton, 55, right, may never live down the worst quote of her career. Facing Republican Rep. Nora Espinoza, Stapleton yelled: "You're carrying the Mexican's water on the fourth floor."
Stapleton's jab was a reference to Gov. Susana Martinez, though she never admitted it, even when apologizing. "There are a lot of people on the fourth floor (of the Capitol)," Stapleton said.
Then Stapleton silenced herself, saying almost nothing to the press. She won re-election to her House seat this year, but fellow Democrats last week ousted her as their party whip, a job she had held for eight years.
Rep. Antonio "Moe" Maestas, D-Albuquerque, defeated Stapleton. It happened a year to the day after Stapleton publicly insulted Espinoza and Martinez.
In a just world, Stapleton would have been relieved of her party leadership role immediately after her outburst. Democrats should have punished Stapleton for her incivility. Instead, she held on for another 12 months.
Competition finally came into play for the good of the party.
Maestas was a better candidate for whip than Stapleton, and he probably would have defeated her even if she had not made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
No lawmaker should feel entitled to a leadership position. House Democrats and Republicans, just like the voters at large, should try to elect the best talent.
Maestas, 44, is one of the Democrats' top lawmakers and thinkers. Smart and hard-working, he has a bright future in state or national politics if he wants it.
It was Maestas, working mostly alone and against long odds, who this year got through important legislation to remove the state public defenders office from the governor's control. New Mexico voters then ratified his proposal in the form of a constitutional amendment.
Losing the whip's chair had to hurt Stapleton. But as Vince Lombardi said, the greatest challenge is in rising again after you fall.
We shall see if Stapleton embraces hard work and civility. Only then would she do the job that voters elected her to do.
She is passionate and knowledgeable about education issues. Stapleton can still contribute to the state by turning her attention to legislation on important matters such as reading programs and student retentions.
And she should know that losing the whip position to a quality candidate such as Maestas was no disgrace.

I am Hessu: is there team snipers playlist?
Eli Freakin: Team Slayer Pro has some cons that I have noticed. In maps like Adrift and even Abandon, which I noticed much of in this gameplay, you come across a lot of campers. On Abandon, there are plenty of blind corners, and on Adrift, every single hallway has holes in the walls for people to hide in. In Slayer Pro, it becomes hide and seek and people hide with shotguns/swords/ or just go for assassinations. It quickly becomes annoying walking down hallways and constantly running into hiders.

Blog updates directly to your inbox.
A patron recently asked how to convert a Word document
(.doc) and an image (.jpg) into PDFs. On many computers this can be done by
going to file > print and then choosing a PDF converter from the printer
list. However, on some computers – like those at the library – this is not an
option. There are a few online tools for this however.
Zamzar is a free, online tool which converts your files
and then emails them to you. There's no need to create an account or pay any sign
up fees. I mostly use the application to create PDFs but it can also be used to
convert documents, images, and music and video files to other formats.
Simply upload a file, select the new format from a drop
down menu, enter your email address, click "convert and wait. Sometimes the
file will be emailed to you almost immediately but if the service is busy you
may have to wait up to an hour or so. One quirk to the tool is that, after
uploading a file, the filename seems to disappear but is actually visible below
the input box. Files must also be below 100MB to be converted.
Zamzar is not the only place to go to convert files but it's
a nice, simple tool that does the job without too much hassle.
Aw. I remember learning about this in class.

The feeling was mutual. Bishop said that conversation with Lowell left her feeling "picked up again to the proper table-land of poetry," and she once begged him, "Please never stop writing me letters—they always manage to make me feel like my higher self (I've been re-reading Emerson) for several days." Neither ever stopped writing letters, from their first meeting in 1947 when both were young, newly launched poets until Lowell's death in 1977. The substantial, revealing—and often very funny—interchange that they produced stands as a remarkable collective achievement, notable for its sustained conversational brilliance of style, its wealth of literary history, its incisive snapshots and portraits of people and places, and its delicious literary gossip, as well as for the window it opens into the unfolding human and artistic drama of two of America's most beloved and influential poets.

Shame on the Republican candidates for president
by Diana Olick, CNBC
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
Shame on the Republican candidates for president. Shame on them for showing up at debate specifically targeting the U.S. economy with not one credible, rational, even reputable notion of what to do about the nation's housing mess. It baffles the mind that this sector of the economy, responsible for about 18 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, is in freefall, and yet eight potential new leaders of this nation not only don't understand the problem but don't have a clue what to do about it.

Quilt of the Week
Today's Quilt of the Week was selected by Jake, who came across it in one of her favorite blogs, Lil Blue Boo. Says Jake, "The reason I really liked this T-shirt quilt is because normally these quilts feature the WHOLE front of a T-shirt and there's little design or style to bring these together. Instead, Ashley featured cuts from her young daughter's dresses and gave it a little more flair and a little less ho hum." Instead of using interfacing, Ashley starches the blocks and uses them on both sides of the quilt. There's a step-by-step tutorial, so if you've ever wanted to preserve some of your child's sweet little outfits, this is a great way to do that.
Post of the Week
Have you ever come across one of those non-crafty types who just doesn't get why you like to make stuff? I run into those people all the time, and I am often hard-pressed to articulate just exactly why I sew and why it has become so vital to my existence. Deborah of Whipstitch Fabrics has a lovely post this week on why she sews, and when I read it I thought, "This is what I've been trying to say."
When I am at a sewing machine, at MY sewing machine, I focus in a way that few other things in this world can call me to do. My vision is limited, in the best way, to only that which is directly in front of me. I am not worried about what I will make for dinner, or when I will get the oil changed, or even how I will pay the bills and cover the rent and appease the IRS. I am not worried. The task in front of me is enough. I have spent untold hours of my life wanting to be enough, and in this one place, I always, always am. Enough for the task, enough for the machine, enough for the fabric–not because they ask so little, but because they meet me halfway.
The entire essay is lovely and powerful and I guarantee after reading it, you will feel a renewed desire to get to your machine and make something.

Keeping up with whirlwind of Bulls, Blackhawks at once
BY RICK TELANDER email@example.com | @ricktelander April 27, 2014 12:34AM
Bulls guard Jimmy Butler (left) and Wizards forward Nene stand head-to-head in Game 3 of their playoff series Friday night. Nene received a double technical and was ejected. | Alex Brandon/AP
Updated: May 28, 2014 6:46AM
Trying to watch two playoff games in two sports — Bulls and Blackhawks on Friday night — at the same time on TV is difficult.
If your eyes could go into a popcorn machine as kernels, that's about it.
With this tumult comes reverie, thoughts:
◆ High-definition TV has done great things, but it has saved hockey. The puck is VISIBLE. Do you remember when you simply watched moving clots of players?
◆ At some point some guy's — Nene's? — long locks are going to whip around and blind a basketball player. Buns, hairnets, swimming caps will be mandated.
◆ Nene and Jimmy Butler's weird forehead-to-forehead lean-off in Game 3 was something I have never seen before. When Nene grabbed Butler behind the neck with both hands, I have no idea how Butler restrained himself from punching the much larger player in the face.
I remember Norm Van Lier picking up a chair at the old Chicago Stadium and running after the Trail Blazers' Sidney Wicks in an attempt to cripple him.
Above all, I remember back in 1977 when the muscular Kermit Washington nearly killed Rudy Tomjanovich with a single punch. And that's not an exaggeration. Tomjanovich's brain was dislodged from its skull casing, leaking blood and spinal fluid into Rudy T's throat. Doctor's said victims with far lesser wounds often died.
There absolutely can't be fighting in the NBA. That single punch proved it. There can't be. Thank you, NBA rules. Thank you, Jimmy.
◆ The lingo of the NHL is fascinating. Heavy stick, sniper, one-timer, onion bag, ya-hey! But my favorite hockey saying of all time came from former Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon. Speaking of young Patrick Kane, he said, ''He'll go into the tall trees and come out with the biscuit.''
◆ Hockey is crazy. Why are there so many overtimes in the playoffs? As a writer with early deadlines, these things just destroy you.
◆ When the ball is going in for you, the stat geeks and computer number-crunchers mean nothing. Ask the Bulls' Mike Dunleavy and his career-high 35 points in the Friday night win. Some of those eight three-pointers he made were just heaves with hope attached.
◆ How is it that goons don't fight in the hockey playoffs?
◆ That overtime goal by Jonathan Toews on a beautiful lone-man breakaway to win Game 5 against the Blues was the high point of beauty. If you love the Blackhawks.
◆ The Bulls will forever be in the debt of Michael Jordan. When Butler made that huge three-pointer to basically seal the 100-97 win for the Bulls, it reminded us of MJ. Every big, game-winning shot will do that. Probably forever.
◆ The Hawks, by the same token, are forever in debt to Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita and Tony Esposito. Old Time Hockey rules all.
But Patrick Kane and Toews and Duncan Keith and Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp and Corey Crawford could put that all in the rearview window. Well, not sort of.
Can you even imagine being a star in a pro league with only six teams in it? So it was, back in the day.
◆ In this moment of reflection, I need to pass on some great quotes from various sports people through the years.
Of course, you remember Yogi Berra being asked what time it was and responding, ''You mean now?''
But how about this from Marc Silverman on ESPN 1000 radio back on Nov. 2, 2002, while talking about Bears lineman Bryan Robinson's problems: ''You don't have to go back too far in the all-too-distant future.''
Or this, from Rick Barry on WSCR-AM (670), in 2004, on not getting a chance to coach in the NBA: ''That's the part that really eats at my craw.''
Why do I have these thoughts? Because I listen to radio and TV and write stuff down as it happens. Nearly killed myself several times in my car, btw.
Jonathan Hood, my old partner, on WSCR, talking about Brett Favre, in 2001: ''If he makes a mistake, he's got receivers who are going to catch his balls.''
I mean, this is true. But funny, right?
Finally, Raymont Harris, the former Bears running back-turned-commentator, who said on WBBM-AM (780) years ago, ''Last week they got a touchdown return for a kickoff.''
◆ And we got wins from the Bulls and Blackhawks on Friday night. And our eyeballs are slowly coming to rest.

I love when the title of a post fits perfectly with its content

Before I know it, I'm walking along a cobblestone path while spinning a crooked old cane.
You see, I'm searching for something… no, I'm searching for someone – it always alternates between the two, you know, and I can never quite place it! But I'm walking along the winding old path, tapping my crooked old cane on the ground, searching for signs of the mysterious being. And as I am searching, I can't help but admire the beautiful park. Pausing a moment, I take a deep breath of the cool evening…

« Diddy Joins the Cast of 'Downton Abbey' in Funny or Die Skit
Robin Thicke and Pharrell Perform 'Blurred Lines' on 'Ellen' »
Video: The-Dream – 'IV Play'
The-Dream delivers some visual stimulation in the X-directed video for "IV Play," the title track off his upcoming album. The platinum hitmaker emerges from a helicopter in a black fur coat with a sexy lady on his arm and performs against the backdrop of an architectural building. He later gets a front row seat from his white Mercedes SL while his scantily-clad co-stars put on a show.
IV Play is due May 28 featuring Jay-Z, Beyoncé, 2 Chainz, Kelly Rowland, Big Sean, Pusha T, and more.
"IV Play is me jumping into the future and trying to leave the past behind," The-Dream told VEVO. "This album probably maintains about 25 percent of the fabric of what I've done musically, but the rest of it, I've really opened it up."
Skip right ahead and watch "IV Play" below.

Taylor Swift may have a new man ... Jake Gyllenhaal!
The 20-year-old singer, whose new album drops today, was spotted with the 29-year-old "Prince of Persia" star all over New York City last weekend.
Jake was reportedly part of Taylor's entourage for the SNL afterparty on Saturday -- and the two were photographed in Brooklyn together after brunch on Sunday.
We'll be going live with Taylor on TooFab at 4pm PT today for a mini-concert and Q&A at the United Nations in NYC ... maybe someone will ask her about Jake then!
Check out the livestream here!
Oh, They make a handsome couple. Very well balanced out. With both of them smiling they look great together.
Good Luck Nice comb.
Random Couple! What do you think of this new couple? http://whosright.com/poll/what-do-you-think-of-taylor-swift-and-jake-gyleenhaal-as-a-couple
He is way to old 4 her!!!! Get a new guy Taylor!Seriously!!!WAY 2 OLD!!!!!!!!!
Get ready Jake, you will be in the next song...
Laughable PR job!!! She is just a child that never grew up, she thinks she can sing cause her mama told her she could, just like the parents on American Idol tell their kids that they can sing. I will be glad when her few minutes of fame are over. She can't carry a tune or sing on key with out boo-coo electronic help. She should wake up and go ahead and write the song about Jake dumping her, we all know it's comming. Jake must really need the publicity to tie himself up with being seen with this child.
Just saying.....
well who she dates is her business, i personally wish it was me with her, as far as age who cares how old a person is, love is love, deal with it, Taylor can have any man she wants, she's only 21, she has many r3elationships to go through yet, so u go girl.
