The details of nature are the focus of Tenley Beazley's new mixed media pieces in "Pastoral & Beyond."
"By isolating the details, deconstructing and reassembling both visually and physically, I am able to communicate my version of nature in all its glory," Beazley said in a statement to the gallery. "Rather than trying to recreate something that is already so perfect, I seek to draw attention to the glorious details that are often overlooked."
Beazley said that she hopes her pieces are pleasing to the viewer, while also challenging.
"Pastoral & Beyond" will be on view through Saturday, May 31.
Quirk Gallery is located at 311 West Broad Street and can be reached at 804/644-5450. Gallery hours are Mondays-Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.


text: Hi Frank I experienced exactly the same thing and found a solution as follows : I am using 2 PC's with Windows 98 se. On my work's PC that I wanted to connect to : I set the PPPoE software to 'auto reconnect if connection dropped' and to 'connect on windows startup' as well as to 'autoconnect' ( so you don't have to click the 'connect' button ) I then created a small program in Visual Basic (v5) which does the following : Every 5 minutes. Download the page >> http://www.showmyip.com Extract my dynamic IP address from the downloaded page ( it is on the first line on the page ). Save this IP address into a very small text file. FTP this text file on to my FTP site ( automatically replace the existing file on the FTP site. ) so it is updated every 5 minutes. Minimise myself ( program, not me personally ) into the system tray ( next to the clock ) and sleep for another 5 minutes and then run in the background. From my home PC, I can then use the freeware WS-FTP LE to look at the text file on my FTP site and copy the IP address and paste it into my VNC Viewer connect screen. Alternatively you could create another program to automatically download the text file from the FTP site and display it to you. Hope this all helps. Before all the guru's rip my idea or methods apart : there is probably a better or easier or preferred way of doing this, but I could not find one when I needed it so I made my own solution. It works well for me. I would also like to know of any other methods that can be used. The setup files to install the above app. are about 3,5 mb. Please contact me if you want a copy of the program. I have only been using it for personal use for about 3 weeks so I cannot guarantee that it will work on all operating systems.

However, since we are using DSL modem to connect to the Internet at the office, looks like it's using PPPoE, and everytime I checked, the WAN IP address is changed, I am not able to establish static and permanent connection between them. Is this a known issue? Does VNC has a solution for this? ( AT home, I just use 56K modem dial-up service ) Thanks.

Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Genre: Drama
Rated: R
Directed by: Tommy Lee Jones
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Pepper,
Julio Cedilla, January Jones, Melissa Leo, Dwight
Yoakam, Levon Helm
Released by: Sony Pictures
to Keep
the Distance for Friendship
Jenny Peters
took veteran Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones
until he was almost sixty years old to direct his first
feature film, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,"
and he has pulled it off with aplomb. A compelling and
often brutal tale of friendship, murder, racism and revenge
set against the sere desert vistas of southwest Texas
and Mexico, the multi-layered movie takes the audience
on an unforgettable journey.
also stars in the film as ranch foreman Pete Perkins,
a grizzled cowboy whose best friend is Melquiades Estrada
(Julio Cedillo). Estrada is one of Perkins' ranch hands
and a Mexican illegal alien who has lived in their small
Texas border town for more than a dozen years. Jones masterfully
establishes the rhythms, relationships and prejudices
in the small town before the film's turning point,
when a newly arrived Border Patrol agent, Mike Norton
(Barry Pepper), accidentally shoots Estrada, then covers
up the incident.
Perkins isn't about to let his friend stay buried in an
unmarked grave, nor is he willing to let the killer get
away. Thus begins a very strange—and satisfying—road
trip. As the horseback trek to take Estrada's remains
back to his Mexican home unfolds, Jones and Pepper give
the performances of their lives, one as a furious avenger
and the other as the initially defiant killer whose underlying
guilt slowly eats away at him as he is forced along the
taut script by Guillermo Arriaga ("21 Grams,"
"Amores Perros") is liberally sprinkled with
dark humor. Especially effective are January Jones (no
relation to Tommy Lee) as Norton's bored and disaffected
young wife, and Dwight Yoakam, playing a sad-sack sheriff.
film is distinctly brutal, and not for the squeamish.
But for any cinema lover who finds deeply layered stories
that explore characters' innermost feelings to be
the ultimate turn on, this one's for you.

I need to connect two computers on separate networks over a VPN. Both routers the computers are behind block any incoming connections. Hamachi is able to connect the computers but it uses a slow speed relay connection. Since I already have a server, rather than paying for a high speed relay with hamachi, is there some other VPN software that I can use that is relatively easy to setup or at least has good instructions?
Edit: Both computers are running Windows Vista (one is 32 bit, the other 64 bit)

New light bulb standards have passed in the United States that make many types and wattages of light bulbs illegal to manufacture or import. Some are already gone, others will follow suit over the next few years. Check our site and others to be well informed on the current status of traditional incandescent lighting.
The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe produces light by heating a filament wire to a high temperature until it glows. The hot filament is protected from oxidation in the air with a glass enclosure that is filled with inert gas or evacuated. In a halogen lamp, filament evaporation is prevented by a chemical process that redeposits metal vapor onto the filament, extending its life. The light bulb is supplied with electrical current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass. Most bulbs are used in a socket which provides mechanical support and electrical connections.

ORLANDO, FLA (SMU) - Keena Mays scored 25 points, including two late threes to keep the game close, but it was not enough as UCF topped SMU in Orlando, 59-54, on Tuesday evening. Akil Simpson also added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Mustangs.
SMU fell to 14-10 (5-8 The American), while UCF earned its third league win, improving to 10-14 (3-10). Mays' 25 points marked her 13th game this season with 20 or more points and her fourth in the last five outings. Simpson has now scored in double-digits in 21 of SMU's 24 games this season.
SMU cut UCF's lead to three with 5:44 remaining, going on an 8-0 run with Mays collecting all eight points. In total, Mays scored 18 points in the final eight minutes of play. UCF opened its lead to 10 with 22 seconds remaining, but two three-pointers from Mays in the last 14 seconds kept the Mustangs' hope alive. UCF closed the game making eight of 10 free throw attempts over the final 51 seconds.
SMU trailed 25-23 at halftime after Mays hit a running jumper in the lane with five seconds left in the half to make it a one-possession game at the break. UCF made five-of-six three-pointers in the first half, helping the Knights boost their lead to eight, 23-15, with 4:36 left in the frame. SMU kept UCF scoreless for the next four minutes, but could only score five points during the stretch. The Mustangs did outrebound UCF in the opening frame, 19-16, including 13 rebounds on the offensive end.
Zykira Lewis led UCF with 22 points off the bench, including a five-for-nine mark from three-point land. SMU forced UCF into 21 turnovers, but only slightly edged the Knights in points off turnovers, 10-8.
Next up for the Mustangs will be a home game against Houston on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Mustangs are 20-10 all-time against Houston during head coach Rhonda Rompola's tenure.

BMiller Racing's Brian Strange has been on fire on the track as of late, and his recent success has paid off, having signed on to be a member of the Panther Race Team. Strange started using Panther tires during a 10-race win streak at LSR Speedway in Sacramento, and found the tires to really hook up. So he was more than pleased when he got the call to join the Panther team.
"I am so excited to get a chance to come on board with Randy Pike and the folks at Panther," says Strange. "I started using Panther tires over the past month, and was really happy with how dialed my cars were on different tracks and under various conditions. The tire styles and compounds are first class and have given me a definite edge. I look forward to being part of a Panther program that is doing big things in the RC marketplace."
Combining meticulous vehicle prep with a smooth and efficient driving style, Strange won more than 25 races in the Sacramento area in 2011 and is now looking forward to advancing to the regional and national levels. While much of his success last season came in 2wd buggy with his Losi TLR 22, Strange is also dialing in his Team Associated B44.1 4wd buggy and Losi SCTE 4wd short course truck for the 2012 campaign.
"I'm excited to work with Brian on a more consistent basis. He's been showing great speed in and around our region. His cars are always well prepared and he carries himself very well in the pits. He's helpful, fast, and he wins. I couldn't ask for much more in a team driver," states Panther Team Manager Randy Pike.
Strange's attention to detail when it comes to his RC cars results from his other racing passion, serving as crew chief for his brother Billy's #28x full scale sprint car. He is involved in all aspects of the Strange Motorsports program, including fabrication, car set-up, and maintenance.

BMILLER RACING AND PROTEK R/C's EDDIE BERNAL POSTS DOUBLE VICTORY IN ROUND 2 OF LSR SPEEDWAY'S THURSDAY NIGHT NATS SERIES
With victories in Pro Buggy and 2wd short course, Eddie Bernal led a parade of seven BMiller Racing podium finishes in the three pro classes of LSR Speedway's Round 2 action of the Thursday Night Nats Off-Road Series. Each of the seven BMiller Racing Top 3 finishes were powered by ProTek R/C "Supreme Power" Li-Poly batteries from A Main Hobbies.
The feature race of the night came in Pro Buggy where the BMiller Racing crew swept the podium. Bernal TQ'd in his Associated B4.1 and led all but one lap in the six-minute A main to win by six seconds over his 13-year-old son, Nathan Bernal, who held off hard-charging teammate Justin Moon for second. All three BMiller drivers were on Panther tires in clay compound with the Bernal duo using Rattlers and Moon sporting Switch 2.0's.
Bernal was even more convincing in 2wd short course, posting the only 20-lap tally in the six-minute A main with his Associated SC10. BMiller Racing teammate Todd Pearson finished second as he continues to improve and has seemingly started to figure out the dynamics of running on dirt after racing most of his previous career on the pavement.
In Pro 4 short course action, Lou Figueria continued his hot streak, winning for the 11th time since New Year's Eve. Figueria started in the No. 2 spot with his Losi SCTE behind teammate Patrick Zhao's TQ showing. After a little trouble in lap two dropped him to sixth, Figueria started to find his grove and work his way back up, eventually passing another teammate, Josh O'Connell for the lead on lap 11. Figueria went on to register 21 laps and win by five seconds over Trever Lund, while BMiller's Terry Wickum stayed steady throughout to grab the third spot. O'Connell and Zhao finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
The Thursday Night Nats series features five rounds of racing with one drop, and concludes on Thursday, March 15. LSR Speedway is located at 8470 Belvedere Avenue, Suite B in Sacramento (website: www.lsrspeedway.com, phone: 916-217-5869).
BMiller Racing swept the top of the box in all three pro classes in Round 2 of the Hole-Shot Raceway Winter Series in Sacramento on Saturday. Lou Figueria matched his Round 1 winning performance in expert 4wd short course with the Pro 4 victory, while Brian Strange won in impressive fashion in Pro Buggy and Eddie Bernal took home top honors in expert 2wd short course.
Figueria is now in firm control of the series points lead in Pro 4 after posting the TQ on Saturday and wins in both rounds. Piloting his Losi SCTE with a brand new ProTek R/C 2S "Supreme Power" Li-Poly 70C Battery from A Main Hobbies, Figueria led most of the six-minute main but was challenged throughout by teammate Terry Wickum in an Associated SC10 4×4. Wickum grabbed the lead at the halfway point for two laps, but Figueria laid down his fastest lap of the day to re-capture the advantage in lap 10 and then held on for a 1.9 second victory over Wickum.
The feature race of the afternoon was in Pro Buggy where Strange put together a near flawless six-minute race in the 10-car A Main. Starting in the front of the grid after TQ'ing with his Losi TLR 22, Strange used Panther Slicks in clay compound in the front and rear to register the wire-to-wire victory on the pure clay 5,400 square foot track. Posting the only sub 18-second lap (17.598), Strange won by eight seconds over Round 1 winner Mark Antaramian, while Bernal put together a strong performance to finish third.
Bernal, who is also a member of A Main Hobbies' ProTek R/C Race Team, recently pulled his Associated SC10 off the shelf, and has enjoyed immediate success in 2wd short course. After running second for the first five laps, Bernal moved to the lead in lap six and never looked back, finishing with a two-second victory over TQ Jason Smith, who was the Round 1 class winner. Wickum finished third to keep himself in the series points mix.
The Hole-Shot Raceway Winter Series features eight rounds of racing with three drops, and concludes on Saturday, March 31. Hole-Shot Raceway is located at 903A N. Market Boulevard in Sacramento (website: www.holeshot-raceway.com, phone: 916-910-8936, e-mail: email@example.com). BMillerracing.com
How did you get into RC racing?
"My friend Bobby Gately introduced me to the hobby five years ago and I was hooked."
What was your first RC vehicle?
"It was a Jammin CRT.5. Then I sold that after a little while and bought a Losi XXX-CR buggy."
How many hours a week do you spend prepping, practicing, and racing your Durango DEX210 buggy?
"I try to get out and practice at least twice a week, and do some tweaking on the car during those practice sessions. Usually I try to do a full prep on the car the day before a race. I also spend a lot of time on the internet just looking for tips and different ways to get faster."
What are you doing when you are not RCing?
"I work full time in my Dad's business, Nature Care Landscaping. I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Jennifer when I am home."
You have extensive experience in full-scale open wheel racing. How did you get involved with that?
"My brother Benny was the first to get into racing. Then when I was four years old I got into racing go-karts. I raced karts till I was 16, which is when I moved into champ cars and Formula BMW. I enjoyed some success in the BMW and Formula Atlantic racing programs, but maintaining the needed sponsorship dollars at that level is very difficult."
Do you have any desire to get back into full-scale racing?
"Yes, absolutely. I spend a lot of time continuing to pursue sponsorship to get back into full-scale racing. If anyone is interested in a driver-for-hire, I am your guy."
What are some similarities between full scale and RC racing?
"The hand-eye aspect is similar. In fact, some professional drivers like to utilize RC cars and simulation games to build that hand-eye coordination. I think some of the racing aspects are similar as well, such as choosing the fastest line around the track and hitting the apex (in a turn) the right way."
What are some of the best aspects of being part of the BMiller Race Team?
"Building friendships with the other drivers on the team has been great. We all are looking to help one another, whether it is with car setups, tire selection, or how to drive a particular section of the track. It has really helped our performance levels. I enjoy traveling with the other drivers on the team, and it is great when we get guys up there on the podium."
What are your RC goals going forward?
"My ultimate RC goal is to be a full-time sponsored driver and be able to travel around and enjoy success at a national level. The sponsorships by Brad Miller and A Main Hobbies are giving us an opportunity to at least pursue those goals."
What class would you like to go into if you could expand your RC repertoire?
"I would like to get into 4wd buggy at both the 1/8 and 1/10 scale levels. I think I would also like to get into oval RC racing if I can free up enough time to dive into it at a high level."
Round 1 of the LSR Speedway Thursday Night Nats series proved to be a tremendous success with more than 70 entries in five classes. The BMiller Racing crew enjoyed a banner night, grabbing eight of the nine podium spots in the three pro classes.
Brian Strange continued his LSR hot streak, winning at the track in pro buggy for the 10th time in a row. Strange TQ'd in his Losi 22 on Panther tires and then led from start to finish in posting the victory in the eight-minute A main. BMiller teammate Eddie Bernal kept the pressure on Strange throughout and ended up finishing just three seconds back in second. Teammate Justin Moon completed the sweep, grabbing the third spot.
BMiller Racing also swept the podium in 4wd short course with Josh O'Connell returning to the top of the box in his Losi SCTE. O'Connell took the lead in the second lap of the six-minute A main and never looked back, driving a smooth race while working through lapped traffic. BMiller teammate Lou Figueria, who has been very hot of late, finished second just 3.9 seconds back and fellow team driver Patrick Zhao was a car length back of Figueria for third.
Bernal has been away from running his Associated SC10 for the past couple months, but it didn't take him long to knock off the rust, winning the 2wd open short course class. Bernal TQ'd and put the top spot on the grid to good use, registering a wire-to-wire victory in the eight-minute A main. Local standout Nathan Lavery was second, 14 seconds back, while BMiller's Terry Wickum was third just behind Lavery.
The Thursday Night Nats series features five rounds of racing with one drop, and concludes on Thursday, March 15. LSR Speedway is located at 8470 Belvedere Avenue, Suite B in Sacramento (website: www.lsrspeedway.com, phone: 916-217-5869).
BMiller Racing's Lou Figueria has been practicing, wrenching, and racing a lot over the last couple of month's and his efforts are starting to pay off. Figueria has posted four victories already in the month of January with his dialed Losi SCTE, including Round #1 in 4wd short course at Hole-Shot Raceway's Winter Series.
The win didn't come easy as Figueria had to hold off teammates Josh O'Connell and Terry Wickum throughout the six-minute A main. Wickum earned the TQ and pole position in his Associated SC104x4, but had trouble in the first two turns to find himself having to work back up through the field. Meanwhile, O'Connell grabbed the first lap lead in his Losi SCTE, but a small bobble in the second lap gave Figueria a chance to get around him.
Figueria led the rest of the way in the 18-lap race but was challenged closely throughout by O'Connell, who finished just two seconds back. Wickum made a strong push in the mid part of the race and closed to within one second of the lead, but found himself getting tangled with lapped traffic in lap 13, forcing him to settle for third place.
In 2wd Expert Short Course, Wickum finished second in his Associated SC10 behind Jason Smith, who was unstoppable all day in the class.
The Hole-Shot Raceway Winter Series features eight rounds of racing with three drops, and concludes on Saturday, March 31. Hole-Shot Raceway is located at 903A N. Market Boulevard in Sacramento (website: www.holeshot-raceway.com, phone: 916-910-8936, e-mail: email@example.com).
BMiller Racing swept the top of the box with victories in all three pro classes at LSR Speedway on January 12. Brian Strange continued his string of wins in Pro Buggy while Lou Figueria and Terry Wickum took top honors in Pro 4 and Pro 2, respectively.
Strange has been unstoppable of late at LSR, having won Pro Buggy the last nine times he has entered at the Sacramento track. Piloting his Losi 22 on Panther tires, Strange earned the TQ and then led start to finish in the A main, winning by more than 12 seconds. Brain Mincks finished second and BMiller's Justin Moon rallied from last after getting taken out in the opening lap to finish third.
In 2wd short course, Wickum and teammate Todd Pearson, the two original BMiller team drivers, battled up front throughout the eight-minute A main in their Associated SC10's. Midway through the race Pearson tangled with some lapped traffic, allowing Wickum to surge to the lead. Pearson stayed within striking distance the rest of the way but could not get around Wickum, who won by two seconds over Pearson.
The most hotly contested race of the night came in 4wd short course where Lou Figueria narrowly earned the TQ over Shon Wilcox, who is getting faster each week since getting into the class just a few weeks ago. The action was just as close between the two in the six-minute A main. Figueria led the entire way and could not afford a bobble, as Wilcox stayed close from start to finish. Figueria, however, kept his Losi SCTE smooth throughout and earned a seven-second win over Wilcox in his new Losi SCTE. BMiller's Patrick Zhao moved up from the seventh qualifying spot to finish third while Wickum was fourth.
Nine members of the BMiller Racing team recently piled into two vehicles and made the trek East on Interstate 80 to Reno for a night of racing at Traction Raceway as well as some post-race team fun in "The Biggest Little City in the World."
Nearly 80 racers turned out for the Friday night club event, ranging from enthusiastic beginners to some of the most talented drivers in the Northern Nevada area. The folks at Traction ran an efficient two round, 13-heat program with eight-minute A mains, and the announcing was outstanding for both the racers and spectators.
On the track, the BMiller team enjoyed its share of success with Brain Strange posting the victory in 4wd Open Buggy and Patrick Zhao winning in 4wd Short Course. Strange also was third in 2wd Open Buggy and Terry Wickum finished second and third in 4wd Short Course and 2wd Open SCT, respectively.
Strange had to rally in the second half of the 4wd Buggy main after getting tangled in traffic in the opening laps. But he stayed focused and smooth and started to reel Trevor Coons in before overtaking him on the 19th lap. Strange finished with 22 laps and a seven-second advantage over Coons.
Zhao started in the fifth position in 4wd SCT but worked his way up to second after three laps behind Wickum, who was the TQ. The teammates battled for the top spot for the next five laps before Zhao took advantage of a Wickum miscue and grabbed the lead. Zhao never looked back after getting to the front, registering consistent 22-second laps to finish with 22 total laps and an eight-second win over Wickum.
In 2wd Open SCT, BMiller's Sawyer Bruer qualified third but jumped to the front of the pack in lap two. Bruer extended the lead and had nearly a 20-second advantage midway through the race. But in the final minute he had a series of unlucky events that allowed the pack to catch up and pull away. Local standouts Mike Pradere and Rick Jenkins went on to finish first and second, respectively, while Wickum was third and Bruer fifth.
Even after all that racing, no one seemed to want to leave the track, running off remaining charged packs till nearly 1am. After a quick load up, everyone headed over to the El Dorado Hotel and Casino for some dinner/breakfast at 2am. But despite plenty of tired eyes, no one seemed ready to sleep, so some of the guys found an all night bowling establishment, while a couple others headed to the poker room.
Finally getting to sleep around 5am, the team got a few hours of shuteye before getting up to hit the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. The little bit of rest and good food gave everyone a second wind, so rather than heading back to Sacramento the crew packed in the cars and headed to the Grand Sierra Resort for the ultimate showdown – the BMiller Racing Go-Cart Challenge. The action was fast and furious and wheel-to-wheel with everyone taking turns leading some laps. No official winner was declared, but the whole team left the place with smiles from ear to ear.
When it was all said and done, it was a 24-hour action-packed trip that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks again to the personnel at Traction Raceway for their tremendous hospitality. We look forward to going back up there soon!
BMiller Racing's Eddie Bernal and Lou Figueria both posted victories in the New Year's Bash at LSR Speedway in Sacramento, while teammates Justin Moon and Nathan Bernal registered a pair of second place finishes.
Eddie Bernal TQ'd his Associated B4 in the Pro Buggy class, and led from start to finish in winning the eight-minute main. Bernal, who laid down the day's fastest single lap with a 16.192, finished seven seconds ahead of Moon in his Durango dex210, as the duo ended up being the only two competitors to complete 28 laps in the race.
Figueria was in second in the early stages of the 4wd Short Course A Main, but took over the lead in lap four and never looked back, winning the six-minute race in his Losi SCTE by eight seconds over LSR mainstay Shon Wilcox, who is quickly becoming a weekly contender in his SCTE despite only racing the truck for the past few weeks.
Eddie's son, Nathan, was fast all day in 2wd Open Short Course, and ended up placing second in a borrowed Factory Team SC10. "Lil Nate" TQ'd for the eight-minute A Main and led through the first 10 laps before Jeff Lorenzo took over and maintained the rest of the way for the win.
BMiller Racing enjoyed a banner showing at the 1st Annual Hole-Shot Raceway New Year's Eve Challenge in Sacramento, posting five podium finishes in the event's pro classes.
Lou Figueria finished second with his Losi SCTE in both 4wd short course and the invitational Dash 4 Cash. Josh O'Connell, who had some difficulties with his electronics in qualifying, got things back on track with his Losi SCTE in the 4wd short course A Main, finishing third behind Figueria and winner Jason Moberly of Team Tekin, JConcepts, and SMC.
In 2wd short course, Eddie Bernal was second in a borrowed Associated SC10 and teammate Sawyer Bruer was third with his Factory Team SC10.
Brian Strange closed out the BMiller podium parade, finishing third in Pro Buggy with his Losi TLR 22.
When did you get into RC racing?
"I bought my first car in 1995 when my father-in-law and I wanted to find something to do together, so we went to a local RC store and each bought a vehicle."
What was your first RC vehicle?
"I remember it well it was a Traxxas Nitro Hawk. Still can remember how much fun it was when I fired it up for the first time."
How many hours a week do you spend prepping your vehicles?
"I would say that I spend somewhere between 3-5 hours a week at home working on my buggies and short course truck. Of course when we are at the track practicing or racing I am working on them quite a bit trying to get them dialed in."
How many days a week are you out at a track practicing?
"I like to get out and practice two or three times a week, and then race at least twice a week. Nothing gets you faster than track time."
We notice that your son is almost always with you at the track. How much do you enjoy having all that father-son time with Nathan?
"There is nothing better than finding an activity you can participate with your son on an almost daily basis. My only regret is that my older son, Jordan, hasn't been able to participate in the hobby very much."
You seem to always be helping others with their car setups? Why is assisting other racers important?
"The only way to continue to grow the hobby is to assist others. I really enjoy passing on tune-up tricks that have been taught to me by someone who took the time to help me out. Plus, it is a lot of fun to watch your friends and competitors get better and better. That, of course, helps raise your own level of driving."
What are some of the best aspects of being part of the BMiller Race Team?
"I really enjoy the camaraderie with the guys on the team. We really have a great group of guys who want to help each other and everyone else at the track. We are getting faster as a collective group because we are all pushing each other. This has been a tremendous experience. It?s nice being part of a successful team, just like in any sport."
What are your RC goals going forward?
"Personally, I would love to win some larger races. But I really look forward to watching my son Nathan continue to get better, and hopefully someday become a factory-sponsored driver."
What class would you like to go into if you could expand your RC repertoire?
"Definitely 4wd short course. I have had an opportunity to drive a couple of Losi SCTEs, and it makes you smile from ear to ear. That is the fastest growing class in RC today, and I can see why because it is wide-open, door-to-door action."
What do you enjoy doing when not at the track or in the garage dialing in your cars?
"I love spending time with my wife and family at home or out somewhere. I also enjoy playing golf and watching sports on TV."
Despite being open for less than a year, LSR Speedway in Sacramento has provided a professionally run off-road and oval RC racing facility for many to enjoy (thanks to owners Scott and Heather). The highlight of their weekly program has been on Thursday nights, where the off-roaders have brought out their buggies and short course trucks on a consistent basis. Now dubbed the "Thursday Night Nats," in local circles, the RC racing on December 22 was fast and furious with a track-record 72 entries.
BMiller Racing enjoyed a banner night, winning all three pro classes. Josh O'Connell got things going in the pro mains, taking down the 4wd Short Course class. O'Connell, who has posted more than 10 victories in the class at LSR, TQ'd and led the majority of the race in his Losi SCTE. Eddie Bernal, who was piloting another driver's truck for the night, battled O'Connell in the first two minutes of the six-minute main before Bernal went wide in the sharp right turn at the end of the straightaway, allowing O'Connell to duck underneath for the pass. O'Connell's smooth, but wide-open driving style kept the pack at bay the rest of the way and provided him with the victory by three seconds over Tekin's Randy Pike, while Bernal finished third.
Sawyer Bruer kept the BMiller party going in 2wd Short Course with the TQ and wire-to-wire victory. Bruer was fast all night in his Associated Factory Team SC10, posting the only sub 17 second laps in the class. After a brief foray into buggy racing in recent weeks, Bruer had no problem getting back his short course groove. LSR local Jeff Lorenzen, who has been really fast in his own right in recent weeks, finished second. BMiller's Terry Wickum was fourth in the six-minute main.
The final race of the night featured the eight-minute Pro Buggy A Main. BMiller's Brian Strange has been on a terror in recent weeks, and on this night nothing had changed. Strange TQ'd with his Losi 22 and battled in the opening laps with teammate Eddie Bernal, but Strange's mistake-free style eventually allowed him to pull clear and earn him the only 28-lap result. Eddie's 13-year-old son and fellow BMiller representative, Nathan Bernal, was dialed all night as well, and enjoyed his highest LSR Pro Buggy finish with a second place showing. Track coordinator and overall LSR Mr. Utility Nate Henry had a very strong race and finished third, while Eddie, who may now be known around the track as "Nathan's Dad," placed fourth.
Piloting his Losi TLR 22 2wd Buggy, BMiller Racing's Brian Strange pulled out a dramatic victory in the winner-take-all Dash 4 Cash at Hole-Shot-Raceway in Sacramento on December 10. Five members of the BMiller Race Team qualified for the evening's highlight race, which was run without the use of any corner marshals.
Strange started in the middle of the 12 qualifiers but quickly moved up into second after just the first lap. Utilizing his usual steady driving style, Strange grabbed the lead in lap four of the five-minute race. With no corner marshals, the field started to dwindle as they found their way with wheels up and on their shells.
Jason Moberly was steady and fast as well throughout the race and closed on Strange in the final few laps. With just 10 seconds to go, both competitors made it past the line to go one final lap. Moberly pulled off a clean pass moving onto to the back straight and appeared to get clear enough to grab the win. But Strange pinned the throttle over the final triple, went to the outside of some piled up carnage and pulled even right at the line. With the finish too close to call by the naked eye, everyone looked to the official scoring computer, and there it was. Strange wins it by .025 of a second. Wow what a finish!
The remainder of the BMiller Racing qualifiers were Sawyer Bruer (5th), Josh O'Connell (7th), Patrick Zhao (8th), and Lou Figueria (11th).
One of the most charitable players in the NBA, Brad Miller recently provided a $300 Christmas shopping spree for 20 Sacramento-area kids enrolled in the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters. This is the eighth year that Brad has assisted the Sacramento Big Brothers Big Sisters program with the holiday shopping spree.
Brad's national contributions to Big Brothers Big Sisters has totaled nearly $1 million over the years. For the past seven years he has hosted the Brad Miller Golf Outing, Gala & Auction. This past September, the event raised $126,500 for the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters in his hometown of Kendallville, Indiana. More than 600 community members came out to participate in the two-day extravaganza.
Brad has a special place in his heart for Big Brothers Big Sisters due to the fact he was mentored by the program as a youth. In 1985, a then eight-year-old Brad was matched with Big Brother Dewey Forbes in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Although their official match in the program ended when Brad turned 18 years old, their relationship remained strong as Brad's career advanced him from Purdue University to the NBA
Many of the World's finest off-road RC drivers converged on Trackside Hobbies in Milwaukee last weekend (Dec. 2-4) to compete in the 2011 Spektrum Off-Road Championships. The three-day event featured over 400 entries and some outstanding bumper-to-bumper, wheel-to-wheel radio-controlled action.
BMiller Racing was represented at the premier event by Freeport, Illinois' Cory Yoder in the Stock Short Course Truck class, which featured an amazing 62 registered drivers! Yoder, who was running 17.5 blinky mode for the first time in his career, was among the best in the class all weekend long, finishing with six points in the four qualifying rounds to earn the fifth spot on the starting grid for the 10-truck, seven-minute A Main event.
The main provided outstanding precision driving throughout the field as no one was lapped in action during the race's 22 laps. Yoder cleared the first turn in fifth place, but moved up to fourth by the time the first lap was complete. He would jump back and forth between third and fourth through much of the race, battling with both Brian Lutz and Michael Frazier. After the leader Jason Hills had a mechanical failure with less than 45 seconds to go, Yoder moved into third. But on the final lap Frazier was able to just get past Yoder at the line, grabbing the final podium spot by just one 1/100th of a second.
While certainly pleased with his fourth place finish among the huge, talented field, Yoder vowed that he will have his Kyosho Ultima SC even more dialed the next time around.
Driving his Losi SCTE, BMiller Racing's Josh O'Connell walked away with the winner-take-all cash prize in the Hole-Shot Raceway Dash 4 Cash on November 26. Four members of the BMiller Race Team qualified for the evening's highlight race, which was run black-lighted and in the track's reverse direction.
O'Connell started in the back of the 10-car field but was in fourth at the end of the first lap. By the time the field of fluorescent streaks came by on the second lap, O'Connell had taken over the lead. He would never give up the top spot the rest of the way in the five-minute feature, although he was challenged late by teammate TJ Wickum. By the time they crossed the line, O'Connell finished 0.95 seconds ahead of Wickum for the cash prize.
Lou Figueria and Patrick Zhao were the two other BMiller Racing qualifiers, placing fourth and seventh, respectively.
Nine members of the BMiller Racing Team traveled to Chico, California on November 19 to compete at the Turkey Shootout at A Main Hobbies' Outback Raceway. Considered by many to be one of the premier indoor off-road facilities in the World, fun was had by all during the day's racing activities.
The BMiller Racing crew brought home three podium finishes, highlighted by Josh O'Connell's exciting victory in the Pro 4 Open Short Course A Main. O'Connell took control of the race midway through the eight-minute main and held off all challengers to win the coveted turkey for Thanksgiving Day dinner.
BMiller team members held five of the 10 qualifying spots in the Pro 4 Main and were led by O'Connell's Top of the Box finish. But Patrick Zhao was steady throughout the race and also grabbed a spot on the podium with his third place finish. TJ Wickum was sixth while Eddie Bernal and Lou Figueria were seventh and ninth, respectively.
Eddie's 13-year-old son, Nathan Bernal, provided the team's other Top 3 finish on the day, placing third in Pro 2 Open Short Course. Teammate Sawyer Bruer was close behind in fourth and Wickum and Figueria were sixth and eighth, respectively.
In 2wd Open Buggy, Eddie Bernal finished just off the podium in fourth, less than two seconds behind A Main Hobbies' Curtis Door in third. His son, Nathan, bumped up to the show after winning the B Main and placed ninth in the A Main.
A Main Hobbies has announced that it is partnering with BMiller Racing, the team of radio-controlled car racers founded in June of 2011 by 13-year veteran professional basketball star Brad Miller.
"We are very appreciative of the support A Main Hobbies is providing BMiller Racing. A Main Hobbies has an exciting vision for RC racing and the hobby as a whole, and we are thrilled to be part of that excitement. I am a newcomer to the world of RC but have really enjoyed the experience, and look forward to doing even more with BMiller Racing and A Main Hobbies in the future." Miller said about his team's new sponsorship.
A Main Hobbies' Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Kiser, added, "We're really excited to be involved with BMiller Racing. Not only has A Main Hobbies gained three great representatives, but we hope to seize the inherent potential to promote the RC industry to basketball fans everywhere."

Veteran NBA big man Brad Miller has found his way into the world of RC truck and car excitement with the formation of BMiller Racing. A past RC enthusiast, Miller was recently struck by the short course racing bug and wanted to get back into the hobby.
"I am definitely a backyard basher when it comes to RC driving, but I really enjoy the scale look of the short course trucks and VTA cars. The advancements in the RC industry over the past few years have been impressive and made bashing and racing fun for everyone. As for myself, I will likely stick to bashing in the fields around the house and leave the racing to the experts," states Miller.
A two-time All-Star (2003, 2004), Miller has played 13 NBA seasons and is currently a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has posted career averages of 11.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 853 games with Charlotte, Chicago, Indiana, Sacramento, and Houston, and is one of only five players in history to make an NBA All-Star team as an undrafted player. The 7-0 center-forward also was a member of the USA Basketball Men's Senior National Team from 2006-08.
Miller, who is an avid outdoorsman and current co-host of Country Boys Outdoors on The Sportsman Channel, played six seasons with the Sacramento Kings (2003-09) and resides in the offseason in nearby Granite Bay, Calif. It is in Northern California where Miller had a chance to meet the first two members of BMiller Racing, Todd Pearson and TJ Wickum.
"Today's RC trucks and cars not only have a full scale look and lots of speed, but the drivers are getting better and faster," says Miller. "Todd and TJ really impressed me when I had a chance to meet them. They have consistently gotten better over the past year, and being from the Sacramento-area are the perfect fit to be the first two drivers to represent our team. I look forward to seeing what they can do out there on the track."
Pearson has over 20 years of RC experience with cars and planes. He began in 1991 flying electric planes and racing 1/10th scale electric cars at local indoor tracks and parking lots. In 2008 he started racing short course off-road around Northern California. Last year Pearson enjoyed a banner season, winning the End of Summer Off-Road Series at Speedworld Raceway in the Expert Slash class as well as a victorious run at the Kit & Caboodle Dash For Cash oval race. He also was a member of the winning team in the 2010 SCT 3-hour Enduro at Speedworld. Pearson began this season on fire as well, winning the Speedworld VTA Spring Series by taking the top podium spot in four of the five races. A resident of Lincoln, California, Pearson has always been willing to assist newcomers around the pits, and was instrumental in bringing Wickum into off-road racing. Pearson also has served as a certified trainer for aspiring RC aircraft flyers.
Wickum, who resides in Rocklin, California, is a relative newcomer to the world of competitive RC racing. He began flying electric planes in 2008 but moved into cars after one year. His first racing experience was in late 2009 racing 1/18th scale electric trucks on indoor carpet tracks before moving into Spec Slash racing at Speedworld Raceway. This spring he added on-road racing to his repertoire, and just recently finished second to Pearson in the Speedworld VTA Spring Series. Wickum has won a number of local Sacramento-area races over the past year and was a member of the winning team in the 2011 SCT 3-hour Enduro at Speedworld in April. He is now expanding his racing experience to the regional and national levels, having recently finished as an A main qualifier in Pro 2 Modified Short Course Truck class at the Nor-Cal Electric Off-Road Championships.

Panama City - A new janitorial company will be taking over custodial service at all Bay District Schools.
Wednesday, school board members awarded Southern Management, a local janitorial services company a contract.
Thirteen companies submitted bids for the job but seven of them did not meet requirements or qualifications that were stated in the board's bid proposal.
Southern Management offered the lowest bid at a cost of about $45,000 a month, $537,000 a year.
The contract was put out to bid after school board members fired the previous company Rite-Way services.
Rite-Way hired five illegal immigrants who were working as janitors in Bay District Schools.
Southern Management currently provides cleaning services for the Santa Rosa school district.
"He feels very confident with that company. He did get a recommendation from Santa Rosa county. He talked to them about using them over there, basically you see the total there, that's about 6 to 7,000 dollars more then what we're currently paying," said Superintendent Bill Husfelt.
The district will pay for the higher cost of Southern's contract with reserve funds. The contract takes effect November 15th.

Anyone serious about weight lifting over the age of 30 has proabably heard of Joe Weider, and the younger ones should have by now. He built a fitness empire based on his love for lifting weights. In today's age of body weight exercises, compound lifts and kettlebells, Weider's original body duilding workouts may seem a little archaic, but they were the basis on which weight lifiting and body building has become today.
If you bought a Weider bench, weightset, or other appartus you surely got one of his famous workout charts that would show the basic body positions of his favorite lifts. Besides selling weight lifting equiptment, the Weider fitness empire also published several health and fitness magazines such as Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Men's Fitness, and Shape.
Weider also helped to found the IFBB and the Mr. and Ms. Olympia contests.
Weider's weight lifting experience dates back to the mid-30s, where he first worked out in his family garage with a set of barbells made of car wheels and axles. How is that for extreme? Weider was a polish-Canadian who was born and grew up in Montreal.
Later in his health and fitness career, he became a mentor for such young unknowns as Arnold Schwarzenegger(Conan the Barbarian, Kindegarden Cop) and Lou Ferrigno(the Incredible Hulk). Besides their Hollywood fame, both of these gents were also tops in the body building industry in their heyday.
Weider had made his home in the Los Angeles area and is survived by his wife Betty, his daughter and three grandchildren. He lived to be 93 years old, passing away in a Los Angeles hospital this past Saturday morning.

Woven from the natural fibers of the sisal plant, natural sisal rugs are as environmentally friendly as other natural rugs that are made from hemp, jute, or coir. Not only is a natural sisal rug a "green friendly rug", but natural sisal rugs or carpets are also highly durable and resilient.
Artificial rugs just can´t compare to the quality of a natural fiber rug, such as sisal rugs, mats, or carpets.
Maintaining and Cleaning a Natural Sisal Rug or Carpet
The maintenance and cleaning of sisal rugs are both easy, because the sisal fibers do not attract or collect static or dust. Natural sisal rugs are a low maintenance rug, however natural sisal is an organic fiber that does not stand well against water or humidity. For that reason, a natural sisal rug should not be used in a bathroom, kitchen, or outdoor.
Synthetic sisal rugs can be placed in a garden, on a porch or deck, or in an outdoor dining area, but when selecting a natural fiber carpet you will find better quality with the "real thing".
When cleaning a natural sisal rug, you should only use a dry cleaning method. Any form of moisture can stain and shrink a natural sisal rug or mat. Maintaining a sisal carpet with an occasional (dry) vacuuming should be plenty to keep a clean natural sisal rug or sisal carpet.
If a stain or spot on a natural sisal rug or sisal carpet does occur, immediate attention is the best. Dab away liquids (don´t rub or smear) with an un-dyed rag or paper towel. Work quickly to pull out all liquids, and then dry with a hair dryer.

Navajo family fighting to stay on land that was first home to hundreds, then a national monument
Felicia Fonseca, Associated Press
WUPATKI NATIONAL MONUMENT, Ariz. — Before an expanse of grassland and pueblo ruins in northern Arizona was declared a national monument, it was home to hundreds of Navajos whose ancestors returned to settle the area after a forced march to an eastern New Mexico internment camp.
Slowly, the Navajo families left Wupatki National Monument too, either voluntarily or under pressure by the National Park Service, which sought to eliminate private use of the public land it managed. Only one Navajo woman remains.
When 89-year-old Stella Peshlakai Smith dies, her residency permit dies with her, ending forever the Navajo presence at Wupatki.
The Peshlakais have vowed to fight for the land surrounded by the Little Colorado River valley, snow-capped mountains and towering mesas, where their sheep once grazed freely. Support for the family is mounting among state and tribal officials, but it's up to Congress to decide whether they can stay.
"This family has had a homestead there for generations and generations, years, and we want that to be made right," Navajo Nation lawmaker Walter Phelps said.
Smith estimates that dozens of extended members of her family would move back if given the chance.
An exhibit at the Wupatki visitors center highlights the struggle between the Peshlakais and the Park Service, and hints at the broader story of American Indian ancestral lands across the country that have become public property.
One 1970 letter on display is from the Park Service to a former U.S. senator from Arizona. It says: "At no time have the Navajos who grazed within the monument had any title in the land. ... In the absence of appropriate legislation, these lands could not be surrendered to the Peshlakai family. We believe such legislation would not be in the public interest."
It's the same position that monument Superintendent Kayci Cook Collins takes today. She said tribal members connected to Wupatki are able to conduct ceremonies there, and the Peshlakai family can visit Smith's homestead. But reserving property for the Peshlakais could invite other tribes, whose ancestors built pueblos and traded goods at Wupatki, to lay claim to the land.
"In general, units of the National Park Service are not managed to hold private residences on public land," she said. "The situation the National Park Service tried to be sensitive to does not exist for the other families."
Smith was born at Wupatki a month before it became a national monument, and was raised there by her father, Clyde Peshlakai, who acted as the monument's custodian. Clyde Peshlakai is credited with discovering the Wupatki "blowhole," a geologic feature that forces cold air from the ground and sucks in warm air. His burial site is a two-room stone house visible from the road that loops around the monument.
Along the rugged road that leads to Smith's home are reminders of Navajo homesteads: old sheep corrals, wooden logs pitched for a sweat lodge and a traditional Navajo dwelling where Smith's great-grandfather, Peshlakai Etsidi, is buried. Etsidi was among thousands of Navajos who endured cold, disease and starvation in the U.S. government's attempt to relocate them to Bosque Redondo near Fort Sumner, N.M., in what's known as the Long Walk.
Etsidi returned to northern Arizona around 1870 after the Navajos signed a treaty with the federal government that defined a reservation for the tribe.
The reservation did not include land that would become Wupatki National Monument, where Etsidi and other Navajos resettled. Their children made a playground of its low-lying grasslands, sandstone outcroppings and scrub brush. Herding sheep, a staple of Navajo tradition and a sign of wealth, was an everyday task.

Tales of Boston Remodeling: Historical Restorations
From Margaret Everton on February 12, 2010 in Boston
Historical Restorations, Showers at the Gym and Other Such Trials
If you've done anything in the way of remodeling, this is going to sound familiar. First, you've got a tight budget. Money is at a premium. Second, youve got to somehow live, cook, eat, sleep, maneuver, and exist in your house during the remodel. And stay sane. Third, youve got some zany ideas, they're hard to verbalize to the contracting crew, and you're not sure that youre even going to like it if they do it. Fourth, the home has been all but ruined by previous remodelers who didnt have a clue what "restoration" meant. Fifth, youre running on a very short time table. Sixth, anytime you start one of the phases of the remodel, you encounter a thousand problems that you didn't foresee. Oh, and did we mention that the house that you're working with is 140 years old?
Welcome to a Big Challenge.
This was the situation that Boston homeowner Kim faced when she decided to remodel her 1870 Second Empire home. She was facing a list of challenges four times as long as the one we just described. But, thankfully for Kim, she found someone who understood. Help arrived in the form of her design-build contractor, Charlie Allen. Kims home blossomed from a major headache into a real beauty, thanks to the patience, endurance, and inspiration of this dynamic duothe homeowner and the contractor.
The story of the restoration is a story of what just about any homeowner will face when they embark upon The Big Challenge known as remodeling. One of Kims projects was to remodel the previously remodeled kitchen. In order to do so, two layers of kitchen ceiling, plus several layers of an upstairs bathroom had effectively formed a layer of protective armor that resisted even the most eager renovators efforts. It took some major doing, and even required a small roof makeover. But it happened. In the process, they discovered damage from a long-gone fire, and some other unpleasant artifacts from erstwhile renovators. During the ordeal, Kim had to take her showers at the local gym.
It wasnt all a trial, thankfully. Once the interior of the home had received its complete new look, the restoration team walked outside to take a look at the exterior. This turned out to be a more than pleasant experience that manifested itself in removing vinyl siding, replacing gutters, reroofing the dwelling, and picking out historically accurate colors. The local Preservation society loved it so much, they gave the house a big award.
Kims situation isnt entirely different from just about any renovation project. The headaches will come. The problems will manifest themselves. And the project may drag on six times longer than you thought it would. But in the end, youll emerge with a stunning dwelling. Dont worry. You wont have to shower in the gym the rest of your life.

Cyclone Roundup: 5-21 Edition
Chris Williams
By Chris Williams, CycloneFanatic.com PublisherFollow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
Happy Monday Cyclone Nation. Just a quick heads up - Monday Musings is being pushed to Tuesday this week. I'm playing in the Cyclone Sports Properties annual golf outing today and that will take up the majority of my time.
Here's a Monday roundup for you though that recaps what went down over the weekend in the world of Iowa State athletics and always moving drama involving the Big 12 and conference realignment.
CAPTAINS: The Iowa State football program announced its captains for the 2012 season on Friday afternoon. Brett Bueker, Jake Knott, A.J. Klein and James White were given this honor by their teammates. CLICK HERE for more details.
RIPPLE EFFECT: Heavy rumors of Clemson making a jump to the Big 12 dominated the Internet on Sunday afternoon.
Why? According to Pete Thamel of the New York Times, the Big 12 and SEC's "Champions Bowl" announcement last week could make certain ACC schools a little bit antsy about their current position in the landscape of college football.
As far as these Clemson to the Big 12 rumors being true, Chip Brown from OrangeBloods.com (or Mr. Realignment as I like to call him) says no, or not yet. Brown is spot on in his column by paying a good deal of attention to Notre Dame. Don't you find it odd that over the last two years during this realignment craze, Texas and Notre Dame always seem to be talking about each other? Texas respects Notre Dame. Notre Dame respects Texas. That's the message we've gotten. The two appear to be linked together and as you know by now, Texas is the cornerstone of the Big 12.
More realignment-related links...
--- This report from ChuckOliver.netclaims that Florida State moving from the ACC to the Big 12 is "inevitable."
--- A Clemson blogger is the guy who got everybody fired up on Sunday, when he "reported" that a deal has been made "in principle" between the school and the Big 12.
--- Notre Dame. Notre Dame. Notre Dame.
NATE MCCOY: Iowa State golfer (and West Des Moines native) Nate McCoy had a big weekend. The senior finished seventh at the NCAA Bowling Green Regional on Saturday afternoon. McCoy's final round of 71 earned him a spot at the 2012 NCAA Championships that will take place on May 29-June 3 in California.
--- Bobby Bowden wants Florida State to stay in the ACC. --- ESPN.com
--- Is West Virginia's Geno Smith the best quarterback in the Big 12? --- Athlon
--- All sorts of Big 12 football nuggets in David Ubben's latest mailbag. --- ESPN.com
--- How will college football's "final four" be selected? Dennis Dodd has an opinion as to how this shouldn't go down. --- CBSSports.com
--- Has Texas head coach Mack Brown lost his edge? --- Athlon

YouTube for its part will provide the needed technology to run the service and will also host the videos on its own site, where they'll be housed in a Vevo channel via an embedded player. All parties involved will share revenue for advertisements shown on both Vevo and YouTube. After the new service gets off the ground, the companies could also allow other labels access to the site, becoming a Hulu of sorts for music related content.
YouTube is pursuing licensing deals on a number of other fronts as well to complement user-posted videos that are less attractive to advertisers. It's reportedly in talks with Sony to license feature-length films, and with CBS to get distribution rights for its current TV shows.

A woman plunged into a 20-foot deep sinkhole looking for her dog in her Portland, Oregon backyard Tuesday night. When she fell to the bottom of that sinkhole she was reunited with her dog, apparently that is why he wasn't coming as she called him.
According to MSN News on Feb 19, the woman started screaming for help and a passerby called 911. The fire department arrived and first hoisted the dog up on a rope. Then a ladder was placed in the hole and the woman was able to crawl out of the dark watery bowels of the earth.
Neither the woman nor her poodle-mix dog were harmed. It is not known how the sinkhole in her backyard came to be, but officials are investigating the three-foot wide, 20-foot deep backyard hole.
This happened about 7:30 p.m. when the dog wasn't coming to the woman as she called him. Looking around the yard for the dog, the woman didn't see the sinkhole that had just opened up and fell in. She is lucky to be pulled out safely as many of these holes collapse in on themselves as they continue to grow.

Vance Joy is quite the bowler, or so he tells us during his performance at The Pageant on March 21st, his quick Australian accent floating through the air.
"I bowled a turkey. Do you guys know what that is?" he asked the cheering crowd looking quite smug with himself, his humorous comments balancing the otherwise morose lyrics he put forth in his songs.
Backed by a keyboardist, a drummer and a bass player that looked suspiciously like Kurt Cobain, Joy stood front and center and marched to his songs steady, lumbering tempo. Most of the numbers started off with Joy playing his guitar, a somber melody that slowly picked up speed and band members. Songs about wanting to be with someone you can't, and snaggleteeth, Joy played through them assuredly, his twangy tenor vibrato relaxed and enjoying every moment of being on stage. The second to last song "Play With Fire," even featured him on Ukulele, the instrument adorably small against his tall frame.
With every song he performed, the crowd acknowledged his talents more and more. And since most of his songs were moderately fast or slow, his last song "Riptide," was the perfect contrast to end the set with. Being his most famous song thus far in his career, many in the crowd sang along and cheered him through the end of the performance, and to the start of a great career in folk rock.

iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 Betas Available, Lion Preview 4, iCloud Live
- June 7th, 2011
- Apple News, iCloud, iOS 5.x, Mac OS Seeds/Builds, Mac OS X Lion, WWDC 2011
- Alex Brooks
Following today's WWDC keynote where Apple discussed Mac OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud the company has now released a slew of updates for registered developers. Apple has released the first beta of iOS 5, as well as iTunes 10.5. The fourth preview of Mac OS X Lion is also available. Registered developers can also enable iCloud for testing with their own apps.
Apple has also released Xcode 4.2 developer preview.
The first build of iOS 5 is available for iPhone 4 (GSM and CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation) and is labelled build 9A5220p. The beta of iOS is also accompanied by an update to iTunes which brings the extensive media software to version 10.5. iTunes 10.5 brings some minor graphical interface changes and of course adds support for iCloud, in this case Automatic Downloads of Music, Books and and Apps.
The features available in iOS 5 are covered in detail by World of Apple's keynote coverage, over the coming days we'll be offering a more detailed look at Apple's brand new version of iOS.
Mac OS X Lion DP 4 is labelled build 11A480b and is available for registered Mac developers from the Developer Center. Apple today demoed many of the features we've already seen in Mac OS X Lion. With the release of the fourth developer preview iCloud will be the biggest changes. World of Apple will be looking in more detail at what has changed in developer preview 4 soon.
The big one for developers today is early access to iCloud. Such access will give developers time to build the services available into their apps. Apple has posted a detailed iCloud page just for developers which tells them what they need and how they get started with iCloud. Notably Apple has posted a beta of iPhoto which has Photo Stream built-in.
Finally Apple has released a beta of Safari 5.1 which includes a number of new APIs for developers, those that initially stick out are, "support for full-screen web content", Extension Popovers API, and Extension Menus that can show a list of options from within the Safari UI.
