Bryan Crenshaw's Dodge Coronet 500 Sets The Mopar World On Fire
The whole idea started easily enough. Surfing the Web, we came across guys showing where they were at on their project cars. Amid a sea of healthy big-block E-Body clones and garage-filling B-Bodies was this unbelievable yellow Coronet 500 up on the rotisserie in a fresh sheen of paint. The owner said it was his first such project and was looking forward to finishing it up before the Nationals. With that introduction, the e-mails started flying back and forth.
Bryan Crenshaw, who resides in Kirklin, Indiana, is 34 years old, and his only previous Mopar was a '69 Super Bee that was pretty much finished when he got it. Employed in the asphalt and construction business, he had really wanted a '65 Coronet 500, and finally got one in a unique way.
"Actually, I found the car on Moparts.com," Bryan remembers with a grin. "Of course, like a lot of projects, it wasn't quite what I had planned for. The previous owner had totally disassembled it! I would not recommend that to anyone who is not a professional; I'm not, and it was very hard to figure out how it all went back together."
"Overall, the condition was fantastic," he continues. "Other than one hole on the driver's side, it was completely rust free. I did end up replacing the hood and driver's-side fender as they were both a little too wavy for me to deal with."
After buying the car in 1999, the project began in January 2000. A rotisserie was constructed from mild steel tubing; Bryan designed it himself and then welded it together; Readi-strip took the car down to bare metal and up on the rack it went. This would not be a restoration or race car replica, but a street machine statement from Bryan's fertile mind. Show points would be won for attention to detail, not originality. Kramer Automotive supplied a perfect replica A990 scoop, which is the only major external body change. Nonetheless, some of the factory pieces to make the 500 the statement it needed to be were not so easy to come by.
"Stuff like trim for the '65 500 is tough!" says Bryan. "The car was missing the gold-colored script Dodge emblem on the decklid; I didn't even know what it looked like. Going through swap meet stuff, I found a perfect one for $400; I made the dealer an offer, and he told me to just keep walking. I ended up getting it from him for something like $380 at the end of the day. It wasn't worth leaving and then not finding another good example someplace down the road."
Once on the rack and ready for paint, the process began with epoxy primer DP90 followed by urethane primer K36 and then three coats of retina-scarring PPG Viper Dandelion Yellow. This concluded with three coats of clear. Bryan sprayed it himself using some well-heeded pointers from buddies in the body and paint business. The parts were done separate from the unibody, covering every inch with the fresh pigment. Still on the rotisserie, the assembly began. Bryan's one big benefit over many first-timers was a new shop area he had built that made this process a lot less stressful than trying to get around in a small garage. The ability to spin the car over and sit in a chair rather than laying on one's back to do detail work made things go a lot smoother.
Next, suspension components were prepped, the K-frame was detailed, and KYB shocks were put on all four corners. A set of five-spoke Stockton 15×7 rims were shod in Firestone Firehawk rubber to roll off the miles. To slow it all down, there are Stainless Steel Brake Systems discs behind those rims in all four corners.
Motivation would be wedge power, 451 inches of iron Mopar B-engine set up in the 500-horse range. After Dennis at Woody's Machine did the prep work and punched it out .030, the short-block received a 440 crank, KB pistons, 440 rods, and ARP bolts. A Comp Cams .509/292-duration stick went into the center, actuating 2.14 intake and 1.74 exhaust valves in the factory -452 heads. It's finished off by an Edelbrock Performer intake and an AED-type Holley 850 carb; a set of tti headers take care of the exhaust duties.
Behind this is a Dave Klutz-built 727 'flite with a Turbo Action manual valve body; an SCS shifter by the same company is in the cockpit. Under the rear, Bryan did make a swap over to a Detroit Locker, which now houses 3.91 gears; Randy's Ring and Pinion supplied those peripherals.
The project took eight months and Bryan made a grand debut at the Mopar Nationals; we were impressed enough with his first-time handiwork that we put the car in our booth on the midway. The guys down the way were selling a lot of sunglasses that afternoon!
Bryan Crenshaw Says
On Building And Using A Rotisserie:
The rotisserie enables you to prep and paint areas of the car that are almost impossible to work on without it. I was able to paint the underside of the car with the same finish as the top. It also allowed me to paint the interior of the cockpit and trunk, wheel wells, and other hard-to-get-at areas with relative ease.
The rotisserie was fairly easy to build. With about $300 in steel and $150 in jacks, I was able to build mine in about a day. Jacks are an option on many rotisseries, but in my opinion they are a must-have as they facilitate the raising and lowering of the car. I used two hydraulic long ram bottle jacks, one at each end which requires you to raise each end a little at a time. If I would have used air-actuated jacks, I could have tied them together into one valve and raised and lowered the car with one hand while standing in one place (but that costs a little more). I built my rotisserie so that it can be disassembled and stored standing flat against the wall and only take up about two feet of floor space.
Hardest lessons learned in the project:
1. Start with a complete car, not one partially disassembled. That way you know how it goes together and if anything is missing.
2. In the painting process, I neglected to apply a guide coat in the primer and block-sanding process; therefore, I didn't find all of the little dings in the car. Lucky for me the car was pretty straight.
3. I forgot to check emblem placement on a replacement front fender until after the fender was completely painted and cleared. Turns out the fender for a Coronet 440 and a 500 have different emblem locations. I had to pay to have it stripped again, weld up the 440 holes, drill the appropriate 500 holes, and start over with the whole paint process on this part.
Most satisfaction In The Project:
Accomplishing exactly what I set out to do, start to finish (and then some).
The things I would change if I did this again:
1. Build a makeshift paint booth inside the shop to better control dust and overspray.
2. Not allow my wife to have a baby in the middle of my project (Dane Weaver Crenshaw, March 26, 2001…just kidding, honey!).
Garage Tips:
Build as big a shop as you can possibly afford (mine is 48x64x16) as it will always wind up being too small. If possible, keep a designated area for your project so that you can walk away from it without having to pack everything up and store it every time you work on it. If it takes a half hour to get your project out and a half hour to put it back up every time you want to work on it, that makes it very hard to get motivated after work to do anything on it.
Project Tips:
I believe that projects of this magnitude require what I consider a support group or advisory council. Even though I did almost 99 percent of this project by myself in the garage, it would not have been possible without my support group. This group of people will help keep you focused and working towards your goal. They can offer suggestions and insight into their own specialties such as welding, interior, electrical, engine, perfectionism, optimism, etc. Your advisory council should keep you thinking and offer fresh ideas. These people will help you stay on track when you sometimes feel like it's good enough but you know it isn't. They will not experience the burnout that you may be feeling and therefore will keep you doing everything to the very best of your ability. These people may see something that you overlooked, and in doing so, help you avoid a costly mistake. At times, you will need some type of hands-on assistance for a few of those two-man jobs. Be sure that your council knows exactly what your intended goal and vision of the finished project is; you don't need tips on building a pro street car if a true restoration is what you want. At this time, I would like to mention and thank my advisory council: Roger Woodruff, Tim Criswell, Chris Ricker, Dennis Jones, and of course my understanding wife Gina and son Dane.

Gonzalo Lavin
BARRE TOWN Gonzalo Zalo Lavin, 96, a longtime resident of Barre View Street, died peacefully in his sleep at the Berlin Health and Rehab Center on April 25, 2014. His family had been at his bedside.
Born Oct. 31, 1917, in Santander, Spain, he was the son of Francisco and Eugenia (Bordas) Lavin, the youngest and last surviving of 13 children.
In 1935, at the age of 18, he immigrated to the United States. Arriving in Barre two days later, he began a 44-year career in the granite industry. He began as a stonecutter and from 1947 until his retirement from the Colombo Granite Co. in 1979, as a plant foreman.
On Oct. 31, 1940, he married Valentina Tina Peral in Barre City. All of their married life had been spent in Barre City and later in Barre Town. She died May 8, 2002.
Zalo enjoyed hunting and fishing and had been a member of the Mutuo Inc. and the former Spanish Mens Club.
Survivors include his daughter, Palmira L. Polly Wheaton and her husband, Richard, of New Port Richey, Fla.; granddaughter Vicki F. Corson and great-grandchildren Morgan and Kyle Lamorey and Matthew Corson, all of Northfield; sister-in-law Susan Pilette of Berlin; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents and his wife, Tina, he was predeceased by an infant son, Gonzalo Lavin Jr., and all his siblings.

Little Free Library connects local and global communities throughout 36 countries
Humble beginnings
When Todd Bol started the Little Free Library in 2009, he built what was essentially an oversized mailbox or birdhouse, in memory of his mother's life and her love of reading. "The concept was simple: take a book, return a book. It immediately sparked something in everyone who passed by. It seemed to stimulate and fulfill an intrinsic need to connect with each other in an authentic way," says Todd, Founder and Executive Director of Little Free Library. "From there, the idea just took off."
Little Free Libraries (LFLs) provide neighbors a way to share their love of reading, develop interests and share their passions across all demographics. "LFLs complement public libraries' missions by energizing the conversation from within the neighborhoods. Oftentimes, stewards of LFLs post information about upcoming programs hosted by the local library, such as important health information and free screening opportunities."
The organization estimates that there are between 6,000 and 7,000 LFLs across 36 countries. Ghana alone now has more than 40, and at least 1,650,000 books have been donated and borrowed since January 2010.
Leveraging partnerships to connect local and global communities
With the widespread grassroots movement under way, which Todd attributes to the organization's inclusive and scalable approach, his focus is turning toward initiatives and partnerships that will have biggest impact, such as:
- Endow a Library in a Small Town: In the U.S. alone, there are approximately 11,000+ rural communities that don't currently have public libraries. This program matches sponsors and underwriters with these communities to get books into the hands of their residents.
- Books for Africa: In Hudson, Wisconsin, Hudson High School students are building 12 LFLs in shop class, then art students are painting them and media classes are filming and documenting the process. LFL identifies sponsors to ship the LFLs and books to Africa. Once they arrive, local Rotary Clubs help deliver and install them. An extension of this program is the Good Global Neighbors program, where the students in the U.S. and Africa become pen pals, start book clubs and share their creative writing−all centered around LFLs.
- Going to School: This new partnership with Going to School, an organization that provides entrepreneurial-based story books to 1,000 schools in India, will bring LFLs to all of those classrooms.
Connecting little free libraries to libraries
How are libraries, schools and citizens playing a crucial role in this movement? The Minneapolis School District, LFL and local sponsors are facilitating the placement and financial commitment of 100 LFLs throughout North Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"The Minneapolis School brings LFLs to neighborhoods that have often missed the joy of books. In addition to passing on their love of reading to future generations, many people are using LFLs to pay tribute to those who have gone before. Every library I've built has a little piece of me and my heritage in it−often decorated with horseshoes from my father's collection," says Todd.
As libraries look for ways to connect with communities and readers, the ability for anyone to take ownership of their own small, hyper-local library—and see how it connects to thousands of others worldwide—can be a powerful tool for library advocacy. LFL was just awarded an Innovations in Reading Prize by the National Book Foundation.

The march was short – from a block down Wood Avenue, but the flags carried down the street by the honor guard were horizontal in the breeze – each stripe and star visible.
Visibly moved by the march to John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," the crowd grew silent, even the children stopped running about.
Smaller versions of Old Glory, placed meticulously around the square, mimicked the larger versions.
One of the speakers reminded those attending, "America is in the mall, America is not at war — our soldiers are at war."
Another who has been on the front lines of battle gave the crowd a glimpse of war that continues to rage in Afghanistan.
"One minute you're talking to your buddy and the next minute he's dead."
High school student Zeke Montalvo played a moving version of Taps, Neal Haertig sang his rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner and the honor guard fired off a 21-gun volley. When all was said and done, a feast was served to the crowd – all free to everyone who stopped by.
Brothers Eddie, Tony and Leo Abila of Woodsboro had thought of every detail. Since their childhood friend Angel Vega died in Vietnam, they vowed never to forget him or his sacrifice for this country and they continue to uphold their promise.

Hi All,
I am so glad I found this forum and I am so glad there are people who are trying to do the same thing like me. I was so hesitant to ask anyone about this. My son is 6 months old and I stopped giving him breast milk when he was 5 months. I was back to work, did not have enough time or energy to pump. So I slowly increased the time between my pumping sessions and finally stopped pumping. I havent pumped in a month. I noticed yesterday that when I squeeze my breasts, milk is still coming out. I am thinking I would start to BF him again. I pumped today and I got very little milk (<1 0z). Is there any way I can re-establish my milk supply? I am so depressed that I stopped pumping because I had no time. I feel like a bad mother. Please help.

- Title
- Wrinkling initiation and growth in modified Yoshida buckling test: finite element analysis and experimental comparison
- Author(s)
- Kim, J. B.; Yoon, J. W.; Yang, D. Y.
- Abstract
- Wrinkling is one of the major defects in sheet metal products and may also play a significant role in the wear of the tool. The initiation and growth of wrinkles are influenced by many factors such as stress ratios, mechanical properties of the sheet material, geometry of the workpiece, contact condition, etc. It is difficult to analyze the wrinkling initiation and growth considering all the factors because the effects of the factors are very complex and the wrinkling behavior may show a wide scatter of data even for small deviations of factors. In this study, the bifurcation theory is introduced for the finite element analysis of wrinkling initiation and growth. All the above-mentioned factors are conveniently considered by the finite element method. The wrinkling initiation is found by checking the determinant of the stiffness matrix at each iteration and the wrinkling behavior is analyzed by successive iteration with the perturbed guess along the eigenvector. The effect of magnitude of perturbation on the wrinkling behavior can be avoided by the Newton-type iteration method. The finite element formulation is based on the incremental deformation theory and elastic-plastic material modeling. The finite element analysis is carried out using the continuum-based resultant shell elements considering the anisotropy of the sheet metal. For the verification of the analysis, the postbuckling of columns and circular plates are analyzed by finite element analysis using the bifurcation algorithm introduced in the study, and the results are compared with the exact solutions. In order to investigate the effects of geometry and stress ratio on the wrinkling initiation and growth, a modified Yoshida buckling test is proposed as an improved effective buckling test. In the modified Yoshida buckling test, the dimensions of the sheet specimen are varied to change the stress ratio and the degree of constraint. The finite element analysis is carried out for the modified Yoshida buckling test and compared with the experimental results.

Hypothalamic Hamartoma
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Hypothalamic Hamartoma is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Hypothalamic hamartomas (HH) are rare, tumor-like malformations that occur during fetal development and are present at birth. They are non-progressive lesions and do not expand, spread or metastasize to other locations. They grow in proportion to normal brain growth, and consequently their relative size to the rest of the brain is the same for the lifetime of the patient when viewed with serial imaging. There is tremendous diversity in the type and severity of symptoms from patient to patient. However, symptoms are apparent during childhood in the overwhelming majority of patients. Although significant overlap exists, two clinical phenotypes of HH are recognized: Central precocious puberty and epilepsy and related neurobehavioral symptoms.
For those with central precocious puberty only, symptoms may occur as early as 2-3 years of age. These patients present with precocious (abnormally early) development of the physical changes associated with puberty. Neurological problems, such as epilepsy, are usually absent. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging on patients with central precocious puberty typically shows attachment of the HH lesion in an anterior location in the hypothalamus, in the region of the tuber cinereum or pituitary stalk.
For those with epilepsy, gelastic (laughing) seizures, is the presenting symptom, often during infancy. Associated symptoms can include developmental delay, cognitive deterioration, and psychiatric symptoms such as rage behaviors. MR imaging on patients with epilepsy typically shows attachment of the HH in a posterior location in the hypothalamus, in the region of the mammillary bodies. Approximately 40% of HH patients with epilepsy also have precocious puberty. These patients tend to have larger lesions, which are broadly attached both anteriorly and posteriorly in the hypothalamus.
Anti-epilepsy medications usually do not control the gelastic seizures associated with HH, and seizures often worsen with additional seizures types that begin around 4-7 years of age. Cognitive deficits and psychiatric symptoms may also present at this time. For some patients, HH can be a progressively disabling condition. For others, symptoms may be stable and represent little or no disability.
Patients with precocious puberty can usually be treated successfully with medications, specifically with a class of drugs known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Medications, specifically anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs) are less successful for controlling the seizures associated with HH, and therefore surgical intervention may be needed. There has been rapid progress over the past 10 years on developing various surgical approaches for treating HH. The selection of the most appropriate surgical technique is individualized to the clinical symptoms and HH anatomy of each patient.

Vermont convict denies escape chargeBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | February 12,2014ERIC FRANCIS PHOTO
Dana Wescott pleads innocent in White River Junction criminal court to a charge of escape.WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A furloughed burglar who allegedly fled Vermont last summer after receiving a settlement check from an insurance company was extradited from Maine to face an escape charge.
A warrant for the arrest of Dana Wescott, 30, had been issued in August, when police said he received a $10,000 check in the mail, gathered up a few belongings from his home in Stockbridge and left Vermont.
Wescott pleaded innocent Monday in White River Junction criminal court to a felony charge of escape, which carries a potential five-year sentence.
He was returned to jail to resume serving his previous sentence of 2½ to 15 years for burglary, possession of stolen property and drunk driving, second offense. He had been serving that term on furlough when he allegedly escaped.
Probation Supervisor David Fitts said Monday that Wescott went to his home town of Biddeford, Maine, where he was spotted by people who knew him. A large tattoo of a prehistoric fish on his neck helped to identify him, Fitts said, and he was arrested during a sting by the Maine Drug Task Force.
Wescott finished serving a five-month sentence in Maine for drug possession, then was extradited to Vermont where he was classified as an escaped prisoner.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Low-cost low-tech approach to Class A Biosolids
I've recently taken an interest in low-cost/low-tech processes that use non-proprietary Sludge Process Trains (SPT) that are capable of producing a PFRP product that has been recognized by several State Biosolids Coordinators and the USEPA as Class A.
Although varied somewhat, each of the SPTs I'm interested in use a batch approach and age either an aerobically or anaerobically digested sludge in either a lagoon or in the case of a cake, separate piles. Once sufficiently aged, (generally about two years) the sludge is then spread onto a paved surface where it is windrowed and periodically agitated until it reaches a TS of ~65%.
I've now read several papers (available upon request) on this SPT and would like to invite further discussion on the process.

Rosa Parks, revisitedFebruary 07,2013Most of what you think you know about Rosa Parks may well be wrong.
On the verge of the 100th anniversary of her birth this Monday comes a fascinating new book, The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, by Jeanne Theoharis, a Brooklyn College professor. It argues that the romanticized, childrens-book story of a meek seamstress with aching feet who just happened into history in a moment of uncalculated resistance is pure mythology.
As Theoharis points out, Rosas family sought to teach her a controlled anger, a survival strategy that balanced compliance with militancy.
Parks was mostly raised by her grandparents. Her grandfather, a follower of Marcus Garvey, often sat vigil on the porch with a rifle in case the Klan came. She sometimes sat with him because, as the book says she put it, I wanted to see him kill a Ku Kluxer.
When she was a child, a young white man taunted her. In turn, she threatened him with a brick. Her grandmother reprimanded her as too high-strung, warning that Rosa would be lynched before the age of 20. Rosa responded, I would be lynched rather than be run over by them.
One of the most troubling and possibly most controversial scenes in the book occurs when Rosa is a young woman working as a domestic. A white man whom she calls Mr. Charlie tries to sexually assault her. Determined to protect herself, she taunts him as she evades him, haranguing him about the white mans inhuman treatment of the Negro.
How I hated all white people, especially him, she continued. I said I would never stoop so low as to have anything to do with him.
Parks added that if he wanted to kill me and rape a dead body, he was welcome but he would have to kill me first.
The author points out that although the story is recorded in Parks own handwriting, it isnt clear whether its completely true, half true or just allegory.
Rosa married Raymond Parks, a civil rights activist who sometimes carried a gun and who impressed her because, she said, he refused to be intimidated by white people.
She spent nearly two decades before the bus incident struggling, organizing and agitating for civil rights, mostly as the secretary of the Montgomery, Ala., branch of the NAACP. But it wasnt until Parks was in her 40s and attended an integrated workshop that she found for the first time in my adult life that this could be a unified society. This didnt mean that she was eager for integration, though. She was later quoted as saying that what people sought was not a matter of close physical contact with whites, but equal opportunity.
And Parks was by no means the first person to perform an act of civil disobedience on a bus. She was very much aware of many of the people whose similar actions had preceded her own, even raising money for some of their defense funds. She also encouraged others to commit these acts of civil disobedience.
Parks explained that I had felt for a long time, that if I was ever told to get up so a white person could sit, that I would refuse to do so.
That day came on Dec. 1, 1955, when a bus driver asked her to get up so that a white man could sit. She refused. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was a political calculation informed by a life of activism. As Parks put it, an opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
And the idea that she stayed seated because of physical fatigue is pure fiction.
I didnt tell anyone my feet were hurting, the book quotes her as saying. It was just popular, I suppose because they wanted to give some excuse other than the fact that I didnt want to be pushed around.
The book also lays out Parks leading role in the bus boycotts and her decades of activism after the civil rights movement.
When Parks died in 2005, Theoharis says, The Rosa Parks who surfaced in the deluge of public commentary was, in nearly every account, characterized as quiet. Humble, dignified, and soft-spoken, she was not angry and never raised her voice.
Parks, like many other Americans who over the years have angrily agitated for change in this country, had been sanitized and sugarcoated for easy consumption.
As Theoharis writes: Held up as a national heroine but stripped of her lifelong history of activism and anger at American injustice, the Parks who emerged was a self-sacrificing mother figure for a nation who would use her death for a ritual of national redemption.
Fortunately, this book seeks to restore Parks wholeness, even at the risk of stirring unease.
The Rosa Parks in this book is as much Malcolm X as she is Martin Luther King Jr.

July 2, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — Bob Davidson told the town board, "He made a comment to me that 'you can't make us not do it, and if you call the cops, we'll just do it more.'"
He was talking about his neighbor Silverio Delponte, who owns a home at 125 Burr Rd. across the street from Davidson's home. Davidson came with a couple of neighbors to complain about the 15 or so all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes that race around a track on Delponte's property all day on Memorial Day weekend and, based on behavior in previous years, will return nine or 10 more times throughout the season and race again.
Davidson said that, in his opinion, the operation amounts to a racetrack and a license is needed to operate such a facility. He also said that the machines were operating in violation of the town noise code.
Supervisor Dan Sturm said that a lot of people operate ATVs and dirt bikes on their property, and he did not think it was a good course of action to compel Delponte to get a license for a racetrack. But he did think it was reasonable to compel the neighbor to get a noise permit. Bethel code says if a neighbor can hear a noise with closed windows from 75 feet away from the property line, the noise is considered "unreasonable."
Sturm explained that town could enforce conditions on a permit such as limiting the hours of operation, and perhaps moving the racing area to another place on the property.
At one point Davidson said, "Or they could just get mufflers for their machines and we won't complain."
Board member Denise Frangipane wanted to know if there was an attempt at mediation with the neighbor.
Sturm said he has experience with the owner and, "He doesn't want to hear from the neighbors; he doesn't care about the neighbors."
The board voted to send the building inspector to the property to compel Delponte to get a noise permit for future racing events.
Segar and Rosenberg Road
The town board again discussed the matter of Segar and Rosenberg Road. Board member Lillian Hendrickson said the official name since 1950 has been "Segar and Rosenberg Road," but at some point a highway supervisor must have erroneously put up the signs that left off the "Rosenberg" part of the name.
The Rosenberg's granddaughter Adria Frede wrote to the board and said the family would object if the name of the road were changed and her grandparents' name were deleted. Two other residents wrote and asked that the name be changed to "Segar" because that's how residents have known it for many years.
Sturm, however, said tax records, deeds and county maps all record the road as "Segar & Rosenberg," and that's how it should remain.
The majority of the board voted to fix the current sign, which went up about a month ago and reads "Segar B. Rosenberg."
Frangipane abstained, saying she did not have enough information about the matter, due to the fact that records could not be located that showed when and how the name was changed from "Segar" to the double name in 1950.

A woman and her dog are safe after falling into a large sinkhole in southeast Portland on Tuesday night.
Firefighters said the woman's dog, a small Poodle mix, was in the back yard of a home near Southeast 38th Avenue and Clinton Street.
The woman apparently went to go look for the dog and accidentally fell into the sinkhole in the yard. She couldn't get out.
The hole was about 20 feet deep and about 3 to 4 feet in diameter, firefighters said.
Someone passing by on the sidewalk heard yelling and screaming coming from the back yard and called 911, firefighters said.
Fire crews arrived and lowered a rope down to the woman so they could pull her dog up to safety, firefighters said. A ladder was lowered down to the woman so that she could get out.
The woman and her dog were not seriously hurt, firefighters said.
Firefighters said they aren't really sure how long the sinkhole had been there. It may have been weather-related, there may have been some sewer work done in the yard, or there might have been an old well on the property.
Firefighters did find some bricks at the bottom of the hole, they said.
Fire officials said the woman was very lucky that pieces of a nearby retaining wall did not fall into the hole on top of her.
Firefighters brought in some pieces of wood to temporarily cover the sinkhole.

Police warn of suspicious couple knocking on doors
DANVILLE – Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden area, but the couple could be simply completing a survey.
State police say they received a complaint on Feb. 2 where a black man, approximately 6'3'' tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old and a white woman with dark brown hair arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
A complaint on Feb. 3 described the same couple leaving pamphlets at New England Homecare Union, United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont. The pamphlet listed a website for Service Employees International Union.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont and it is believed this couple is doing the same. However, police are still trying to identify the couple and verify their involvement.
State police are encouraging residents to ask for identification during visits from unfamiliar individuals.MORE IN This Just In

For example, this groundbreaking feature allows DJs to transmit music from a separate source such as an MP3 player to a lounge or cocktail room while simultaneously outputting high energy music from digital turntables to a main dance floor. Similarly, broadcasts from a microphone also can be selected to transmit separately to two different zones, allowing MC performances or announcements to be tailored to the appropriate areas. In standard mode, all four audio outputs are directed to one area such as a main dance floor.
Mic Check One-Two
The DJM-5000 incorporates another industry first, an exclusive feature called Advanced Talk Over*, which attenuates the frequencies in the mid-range / vocal area of music being played while the microphone is in use. The Advanced Talk Over feature is designed to distinguish announcements made by the DJ and/or MC without lowering the entire volume output, which can often affect the energy of the event. The output of the feature can be adjusted accordingly in two levels through a dedicated control knob on the front panel. The DJM-5000 also includes three microphone inputs, two of which are independent balanced inputs for performances from an MC and/or vocalist. Each microphone channel has a dedicated volume control as well as a 3-band equalizer for increased tonal quality and control. In addition, the microphone section of the mixer is outfitted with four different effects: reverb, echo plus verb, octaver and pitch to further enhance vocal performances.
High Quality Audio
Much like the DJM-1000 and the industry standard DJM-800, Pioneer also enhanced the output of the DJM-5000 by utilizing a 96kHz/24-bit analog to digital converter as well as a 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) in the mixing process to ensure the highest audio quality output. In order to virtually eliminate interference generated by other products or power cords, the DJM-5000 employs a shorter signal path designed to reduce the effects of inherent noise, a high performance power supply to stabilize voltage, and shielded dual RCA inputs. Furthermore, for entertainers using compressed audio files, the DJM-5000 has been equipped with a built-in audio processor called Sound Maximizer to enhance low and high frequency ranges. The "Dynamics" function boosts sounds in the lower frequency range up to eight decibels for added bass response, which is particularly helpful when the music source is lacking low-end punch. The "Clarity" function adjusts the gain of the mid-high frequency range by up to an additional four decibels for a brighter and clearer overall sound. The clarity adjustment improves the sense of separation and distinction by emphasizing the mid-high range sounds, even at lower volume levels.
Enhanced Control and Connectivity
The DJM-5000 is equipped with a six-channel (three stereo pairs) USB Audio Interface. The connection allows direct plug-in from a laptop computer** to the mixer over the USB connection without using an additional external sound card. The mixer is fully functional as a flexible MIDI controller. Sixty-one of the DJM-5000's seventy-three buttons, knobs and sliders are assignable to transmit control data via MIDI signal to a laptop's USB port while running any MIDI-compatible DJ software.
Additional Functions:
- Digital Input: Two digital inputs allow the user to connect digital sources with digital outputs for the best possible signal quality without deterioration of the content.
- Peak Level Meter: Each channel features a multi-colored, 10-segment / per channel LED meter to quickly view audio levels at a glance.
- 3-Band EQ: Equipped with a 3-band (High, Mid, Low) equalizer on each channel, the sound can be adjusted from –26dB to +6dB.
- Cross Fader Assign: Users can easily assign channel output via the cross fader for increased flexibility.
- Cross Fader Curve Adjust: Allows the curve of the cross fader to be adjusted to any of three patterns.
- Fader Start Play: The mixer can automatically start/cue a connected device such as Pioneer's CDJ or MEP players by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader.
- Rack Mount size: The mixer is a 5U by 19 inches wide rack mount size allowing for a variety of rack mount installation applications, ideal for clubs and studios.

Organizers evaluating 'Mudder' recurrence
MARTINSBURG – Organizers of last weekend's Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder endurance challenge – which included the death of a 28-year-old man who'd come from Maryland to participate – are now assessing the program, including course obstacles and safety protocols such as how employees, as well as volunteers, are briefed on water safety.
Avishek Sengupta, 28, of Ellicott City, Md., was critically injured Saturday afternoon while at the "Walk the Plank" obstacle, which allows participants to test their fears of heights and cold all in one with a 15-plus foot high jump into freezing waters, according to the Tough Mudder website.
He was first treated locally at WVU Hospitals-East, before being transferred to the Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia, where he was taken off life support Sunday evening.
Although Tough Mudder issued a statement following the incident, which is still being investigated as an accident by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department, corporate communications director for Tough Mudder, Ashley Pinakiewicz said Tuesday that additional meetings and discussions have been held since then.
"We are undergoing a thorough review of the protocol for all obstacles, including the one that was involved in this incident. We are also internally reviewing how we brief and manage our water safety personnel," Pinakiewicz said in a telephone interview.
Changes will be made as deemed necessary, although there are no plans to remove any obstacles, she said.
The endurance course, a 12-mile event designed by British Special Forces to test both physical and mental strength, routinely features 20 to 25 hazards depending on the location's topography, Pinakiewicz said.
She said the range at Peacemaker National Training Center had 22 hazards on the military-style obstacle course that exposed the approximately 13,000 participants to icy water, fire and even electrical shocks from live wires as they traveled the hilly terrain.
An event planned to be held this coming weekend in Mansfield, Ohio, is still on as scheduled, she said.
"We will also be implementing any changes with staff and volunteers which are found to be necessary," Pinakiewicz said.
In its earlier statement, Tough Mudder officials said this is the first fatality in the company's three-year history, which also includes more than 50 events and 750,000 participants.
Several concerned Mudders who said they were near the obstacle when the accident occurred have contacted The Journal expressing their concerns.
Traci Goldt, who came as a spectator with a 16-member team – The Ants – from Bethesda, Md., said she "witnessed the whole horrible tragedy" and thinks more could have been done to avoid it.
"Something needs to be done to prevent this kind of death. And if the event is being run safely, something like this should never happen. I am so saddened for (Sengupta's) family and friends," she said in a telephone interview.
Peacemaker owner Cole McCulloch, who leased his property in south Berkeley County near Glengary for the event, said there's no doubt the event was tragically clouded by Sengupta's death.
"There were definite concerns raised by his death. We care and we're listening. For example, we are definitely concerned about this obstacle," McCulloch said Tuesday.
"But I do like this event, what it stands for and how it benefits the Wounded Warrior Project. As we saw here, camaraderie is a big part of it and the goodness that teammates show to one another. I think it says a lot that we had thousands of people here and no problems to speak of. It says a lot about the kind of people who participate," he said.

Being First-Aid certified means knowing when to perform CPR and whether or not you need to set your hot dog down to do it. Learn how to help with this Groupon.
The Deal
- CPR, AED, and First Aid certification or recertification course ($45 value)
For more information, please visit NHCPS.com.
National Health Care Provider Solutions
By nature of their profession, doctors and nurses have unpredictable schedules. It's tough to squeeze in a certification or recertification class between patients, research, and charming their stethoscope with a pungi's hypnotic tones. National Health Care Provider Solutions has found a workaround, however, in the form of online courses that are all designed by board-certified physicians to abide by AHA standards.
Each course is accessible any time, from any device with Internet access. Video tutorials and study guides familiarize students with their chosen subject, whether it's basic life support, advanced cardiac life support, pediatric advanced life support, or CPR, AED, and first aid. After passing the exam at the end of the course, students receive a digital certificate and an internationally accepted certification card in the mail.
NHCPS has pledged to donate all proceeds gained through the certification and recertification programs towards furthering the efforts of the Disque Foundation. The mission of the Disque Foundation is to advance and provide health care education to underserved areas, both domestic and abroad.

Most vanities from the '70s and '80s are relatively solid and with a quick coat of paint, can be given a beautifully updated look.
Buy a quart of tinted primer and paint in the color you would like to make your vanity, maybe a crisp white, chocolate brown or a more expressive color. Remove the doors, prime all of the wood and once it dries, put two coats of paint over the primer.
A way to put the finishing touches on this look is to also update the hardware. There are hundreds of decorative pieces you can choose from and it will bring your whole bathroom together.
You won't believe how easily this will update the look in just a few hours.
No. 1: Add a new coat of paint
The easiest way to improve your home's value is with an updated coat of paint. Paint will instantly brighten a room and it will seemingly wipe away the dirt and grime that has collected on the walls over the years.
Worried about picking a color? Think of what you want your room to look like, and create an inspiration file after flipping through magazines or surfing online. Experts at your local paint store can help you pick the right color.
Make sure you prep on the front end to save time and headaches on the back end. Tinted primer will save time on the number of coats it will take to put on the walls. Buy painter's tape to save on your trim and always paint over a drop cloth. If accidents do happen -- and they will -- have a wet rag ready and wipe up the paint right away.
Take before-and-after photos because even you will be amazed at what a huge transformations can happen by doing simple updates.

And in some homes, the menu is so strict that they eat the same thing on the same day every week.
My mom was never that drastic except on Sunday. We always had pot roast because she could put it in the oven before church and it would be ready when we got home.
Every once in a while, my friend Marsha, who lived a few doors down, would ask me over for their Sunday dinner. Her family always had fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy. I was in heaven.
I couldn't imagine that anyone would ever get tired of that, but Marsha was just as excited when I asked her over to our house for Sunday dinner and she could have something different.
So even with all the cookbooks I have and Internet recipes floating around, when I need to put dinner on the table quickly, I go to my family cookbook and make the same ole thing.
The chicken recipe I first made maybe 20 years ago comes from Justin Wilson, the Cajun who used to have one of the first cooking shows around. This is his original recipe, so feel free to cut it in half if you have a smaller family. I like to serve this dish with mashed potatoes.
I make this sautéed cabbage often. I love cabbage, but a lot of people are put off by the smell. Cabbage only smells if you over cook it (meaning boiling it in water or steaming it with the lid on until it is mushy). By sautéing it, you retain some of the crunch and have none of the smell.
The chocolate cobbler comes together pretty fast and is a handy dessert to make if you are out of eggs.
Hope this helps you with dinner tonight.
