Listen to your baby's heartbeat at home as early as your 14th week!
Hear, and even record, your unborn baby's heartbeat at home as early as 14-16 weeks of pregnancy with this easy-to-use fetal Doppler. No gel required!
Hearing the sound of your unborn baby's heartbeat is one of the most exhilarating and comforting experiences imaginable. Using the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler at home, you can listen to, record and even share the sound of your baby's beating heart!
Easy-to-use, affordable, and effective, the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler can detect your baby's heartbeat as early as between the 14th and 16th week of pregnancy. Everything you need to get started right away is included in the box.
Hearing your baby's heartbeat can be very reassuring, especially for parents who have experienced a pregnancy loss in the past. The AngelSounds Fetal Doppler can help put your mind at ease and bond with your baby as you:
- Listen to your baby's heartbeat
- Record your baby's heartbeat to email to friends and grandparents-to-be
- Record the sounds of your own heartbeat to play back to your newborn as a comfort aid
Using the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler at Home: Simply put the probe of the device against your belly, put on the headphones, and turn it on. You may have to move the probe around a bit to locate the heartbeat. Using ultrasound gel is not required, but it may help with the acquisition and clarity of the signal. Alternatives to ultrasound gel include stretch mark cream, belly oil, even body wash that has a gel-like consistency. Keep in mind that although the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler has an ultra-sensitive probe, it's been specially designed to use less ultrasonic output than clinical fetal Dopplers in health care settings. As a result, it may be longer than 14 weeks before you can detect the heartbeat at home. Also, because baby moves around, the heartbeat may be hard to locate from time to time. For this reason, the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler should be used under supervision by your health care provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join the Munay Soccer Academy?
Tryout information is posted on our website for those players interested in trying out for a team. Be sure to have your child tryout for the appropriate group age according to their birth year. If your child is chosen for a team, you will receive registration instructions from your team manager or coach.
What are the fees for the 2018-2019 season?
The fee for the Fall 2018- Spring 2019 Season is $490.00 per season. The fee for Munay/Ayso teams is $275.00 per season (more information on the Munay/Ayso teams below) There is also a separate uniform package fee that should be purchased ONLINE with our uniform vendor Macron. Once a player has been registered with the league and issued a player pass, the fee is non-refundable.
My child is not old enough to join Munay. What options do I have until then?
Munay and AYSO have formed a partnership that puts 4 teams in the 9 & 10 year old age group to participate in the WYSL. For children younger than 9 years old, we recommend attending Munay camps and clinics (where available). Additionally, we offer indoor soccer during the winter months for players ages 5-10 that is typically held at the Ossining Rec Center.
Munay is now hosting 9 & 10 year old teams through an agreement with Ossining AYSO. What does this affiliation mean to the program?
Munay will be working in developing and providing elite players to have an opportunity to play at the next level, whether it is to play Academy, College, or any advanced program, AYSO will serve as a feeder organization to Munay. The Ossining AYSO program has always been a crucial program to providing the fundamentals and a strong base of players for many years, so an affiliation between AYSO and Munay will only make the local program even stronger for the future.
What is the expected time and travel commitment for the regular season?
There are 10 games in the Fall and 10 games in the Spring. Half of the games are home games, so you only travel to approximately five away games each season. All games are played on Sundays. There is a possibilty that rescheduled games are played on some Saturdays. During the season, all of our teams hold two weekly practice sessions of 90 minutes in duration. One of these sessions is typically with a professional paid trainer. However, as most of our teams from age 13 and up are now coached by full-time trainers, the commitment to attend all practices and games is greater. Older teams typically train in the winter months all the way through until June, twice during the week with a competitive event on the weekend.
Are there any fundraising opportunities or scholarships available?
Yes, there are fundraising opportunities available to all teams and players. Speak with your Team Manager or coaching staff for more information. To apply for a Scholarship / Financial Assistance, click here.
Does Munay offer extra training?
Yes, Munay offers training sessions with paid professional trainers for each team. We also offer camps and clinics to children of all ages each summer. In addition, you may contact us for information regarding personal or group sessions.
What are the disciplinary procedures, if any, for a player/parent/coach involved in Munay?
Please visit our Club Policies page for more information.

Editor's Note: Spencer Roane is keeping us updated on the task force behind using manufactured homes as a part of post-tornado solutions to housing.
Tony and Catherine,
Here's a note which we sent to FEMA, GEMA (Georgia counterpart), and various others with whom we hope to work on the idea of using vacant land lease community sites for disaster relief. It may also serve as an update for your readers.
From the time of David Roden's first report here on May 7 – Manufactured Homes Could Be Part of Post-Tornado Solution in Georgia – our task force has continued to pursue the use of manufactured housing as an option in disaster situations. We are currently working to schedule a meeting of the Georgia Disaster Housing Task Force to explore issues of common interest. In the meantime, allow me to identify the players in this effort at this juncture:
The Georgia Manufactured Housing Association (GMHA) represents the interests of all segments of manufactured housing in Georgia, including manufacturers, transporters, retailers, communities, lenders and suppliers. Jay Hamilton is our executive director. He is new to the position, but has extensive experience in the industry. His office phone is 770-955-4522. David Roden is a community owner (CO) and active member of GMHA. Steve Case and Spencer Roane are also community owners who serve as community representatives on the GMHA board.
Our national organization is Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) in Washington, DC. Thayer Long is president. MHI formed a task force to work with FEMA on the design of MHs for disaster relief and to advance the concept of placing disaster relief homes in land lease communities (LLCs, aka mobile home parks). Lois Starkey is the primary contact at MHI for this program. Spencer serves as one of several community owners on the MHI task force. Several members of that task force attended the "Industry Day" Seminar with FEMA personnel in Washington DC on June 7. We will learn more about that meeting next week.
David volunteered in the cleanup effort after the April tornadoes struck Georgia and Alabama and subsequently proposed that MHs be located on vacant lots in LLCs for use by disaster victims. Since then he and Spencer have been exploring that concept with MHI, GMHA, FEMA, GEMA, and community owners across the country. Several relatively recent developments in our industry have come together to make this more feasible than ever:
• Most LLCs have 5-15% vacancy rates, mainly as a result of the economic slowdown and the same finance meltdown that affected conventional housing. "Best guess" at this point is that there are about 200,000 vacant LLC lots across the country.
• As COs have sought to fill vacant lots with new MHs, many manufacturers have begun building "Community Series" homes (CSHs). George Allen and Don Westphal have worked closely with Business Development Managers (BDMs) with most manufacturers to develop this concept. These are generally lower priced, single-section, usually 16' wide by 70-80' long, 3 Br 2 Ba, vinyl sided, shingle roof, with attractive exterior and interior features. INSERT PHOTOS OF TWO CSH HOMES. The cost of these attractive, functional homes is about $25,000, delivered to the LLC. Setup, utility connections, A/C, skirting, and decks add about $10,000 more to the cost.
• To provide quick and efficient support to disaster victims, a database of available home sites which are in close proximity to a disaster is a necessity. Several alternatives exist in Georgia and elsewhere:
• The Community Attributes System (CAS) was developed as a joint effort between MHI and Datacomp, which also owns the Internet marketing site "MH Village." Dan Rinzema is president of Datacomp. Although the database contains approximately 40,000 land lease communities (LLCs) across the country, much of the information is outdated. The website is www.mhicas.org.
• We just learned of another database which serves Georgia and 29 other states. The Georgia service is Georgia Housing Search.Org. We understand that it currently contains about 170,000 rental listings, including manufactured homes, LLC lots, site-built houses, and apartments, and experiences 8,000 – 9,000 searches per day for available rentals. The parent non-profit organization is www.socialserve.com. The services are apparently funded by state or federal agencies and are free to landlords and prospective tenants. We're still collecting information on both.
• Some real estate brokers and agents who specialize in LLCs have surveyed many LLCs in states in which they broker properties. Max Baker, a GMHA member and agent with Marcus & Millichap, recently compiled a database of about 900 LLCs in Georgia ranging in size from a few lots to about 500. We know there are others elsewhere with similar LLC data who are willing to participate in this disaster housing relief effort.
Since CSH homes are compatible with other homes in LLCs, COs would be glad to have them moved into their LLCs for disaster relief, provided the CO screens the new resident as he/she would any other resident. Also, since COs want homes to remain in the LLC, they would be willing to purchase the MH after FEMA/GEMA use. This would seem to be an efficient, cost-effective "exit strategy" for FEMA since the homes would not have to be moved to a storage facility, rehabbed, and stored for the next emergency.
We welcome the opportunity to work with GEMA, FEMA and others to implement this program. We are planning a meeting of about 100 COs in the Atlanta area in mid-October and would be glad to have someone from GEMA and/or FEMA discuss this program at that meeting. We also encourage FEMA to contact George Allen who holds an annual meeting (Roundtable) of COs across the country in mid-September. This year's meeting will be in San Antonio, Texas. It would be an excellent means of publicizing this program on a national basis. # #

Brushless RC Cars Top Speed, Sale Price and More
Powerful and almost maintenance free brushless motors allow radio control cars to now go 40, 50 and 60+mph. The new Traxxas RTR car can go 100mph out of the box!
Above: Photo of the 100mph Traxxas XO-1, ready to run out of the box. Amazing!
Nitro rc cars used to be the fastest out of the box and on the track. But not anymore. Brushless electric rc cars, trucks and even buggies are usually faster than their nitro versions over a single lap.
Photo: The Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL brushless r/c monster truck goes 40mph out of the box and 60mph with a 3S LiPo battery pack. That is insane.
And not to be outdone, the HPI Savage Flux. So powerful it can do standing backflips.
Photo: HPI Savage Flux, up to 62 mph with 2 x 3S LiPo batteries and on-road tires.
How Fast Do Brushless RC Car Kits and RTR Go?
Here are top speeds of kits and ready to run radio controlled cars as tested by Xtreme RC Magazine. As well as their estimated sale price in USD.
With a stronger brushless motor and 3s lipo battery pack, speeds can exceed 60+ mph.
Photo: The HPI Flux brand of brushless motors and electronic speed controllers. Available for 1/10 and 1/8 kits.
Brushless RC Cars RTR Top Speed and Sale Price
Easiest way to get started is to buy a ready-to-run (RTR) brushless rc car. Here are some of the more popular models, their estimated top speed and sale price as taken from online hobby shops.
HPI Racing and Traxxas lead the way in producing a lot of brushless rtr rc cars. 50mph, 60mph and even 73 mph! The battle for the fastest brushless rc car, truck and buggy continues.
Above: The officially licensed 1/16 Ford Mustang Boss 302 with Velineon brushless horsepower cranks out 50+ mph top speeds.
Photo: Above the 1/8 HPI Vorza Flux HP brushless 4wd buggy. Up to 73 mph with using a 22.2v battery pack, optional gearing and tyres.
Photo: As if speed is not exciting enough, HPI now has a waterproof brushless system that allows the r/c car to be driven in wet conditions such as rain, snow or puddles. But not for submersion in water.
Summary: Brushless electric motors and Lipo batteries have created excitement in the world of electric rc cars. Even nitro rc cars, trucks and buggies are being converted to run on brushless systems. They are simply faster, quiet and very easy to maintain. Simply charge and have fun!

The Goldcoast has hosted a world tour event, either qualifying or full blown championship status, for almost two decades. In the early days it was all about Kirra, the epic hollow right-handers made it one of the best surf spots on Earth. Then after extensive dredging of the nearby Tweed River, it became all about the Super Bank, stretching from Snapper Rocks to Rainbow Bay.
In that time there have been some epic heats, it's a place where world title contenders show up and throw down their credentials for the year. Even though it's the very first event it's seen as a benchmark for what's to come. So with that in mind, and to get you psyched for more here are the top heats of all time.

I made this pie for dinner the other night and surprisingly enough the kids gobbled it right up. The zucchini was perfect and just slightly crispy. I am not a fan of mushy zucchini and neither are the kids. This was a super simple recipe and I will definitely be making it again. Probably a lot this summer since my neighbors, an elderly couple, planted about 10 zucchini plants in their garden!

Thanks for the link.
I love zucchini and I love quiche type pie.
Crescent rolls come in one piece sheets now. I have been using them in my brownie pan and it works perfect for a pie.

Beverly Feil was the spark that dramatically changed ROLINC from a computer-based resume board to a traditional staffing firm.
I first met Bev in 1993. She provided the staffing knowledge that allowed our two-year-old company to significantly change business directions. Bev, Mark [her son] and I met many times at the Englewood Village Inn over coffee and pie to discuss how the new staffing business model would work. Having owned and operated a commercial staffing company prior to joining ROLINC, she had the expertise and leadership that was desperately needed to keep our fledgling company going.
She had grit, determination and experience in all aspects of staffing, often saying that there wasn't an order she couldn't fill (and there wasn't). She did, however, eventually develop a niche in the insurance industry. Bev loved people. She once said that some people collect things, but she collects friends. Bev did not drive or use a computer, but she made up for it in a variety of other ways. She was a tenacious business person.
Nothing would stop her from picking up the phone and calling an unknown company to find out how she could help their business. Once Bev found out what they needed, she was on the phone with her Rolodex finding just the right person for her new customer (and new best friend). She also was a master at organizing fashion shows, charity silent auctions, Christmas parties and other social events that helped both the community and the relationships that bound ROLINC and our client companies together.
Bev was truly a forward-thinking business woman and the impetus that took ROLINC Staffing from nothing to a substantial Colorado company.
Vice President of Operations Lilly Banks started with ROLINC in 2004 and primarily focuses on the operations behind accounting. She also oversees human resources and workplace safety programs.
Lilly manages the accounting department to ensure the importance of paying our employees accurately and on time, as well as invoicing our customers correctly, which is oftentimes lacking at other staffing agencies. She understands that no single approach is the right one for every situation, so with her training in accounting, business management and human resources she has developed programs that help ROLINC stand out from the crowd in back-end operations.
In my spare time, I…am a classic movies aficionado.
ROLINC Staffing Founder, President and CEO Robert Bidwell was born in Columbus, Ohio, and attended Kansas State University and University of Northern Colorado, majoring in business. After graduating, Bob got into software and computer distribution, but soon found that he had a unique concept in mind – a more advanced model of connecting candidates and employers, much like job boards and search engines today.
Bob founded Resumes On-Line, Inc. in 1991 with TecSupport managing partner Mark Feil, focusing efforts on their computer-based resume job board. In 1993, Bob and Mark met with Mark's mother Beverly, who significantly impacted ROLINC with her years of staffing experience, including having owned and operated her own commercial staffing company. Bob, Mark and Beverly worked diligently for years, growing their client base, candidate pool, volume of field employees and their internal staff to meet customers' needs.
After 25 years in the staffing industry, Bob continues to lead the ROLINC Staffing team, ensuring his company provides strong service to great clients and excellent career assistance to job seekers.
The quote that most shapes my every day would be…"Success will come if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other – never give up!"
When I was young, I wanted to grow up to be…A dentist.
I work best when….I am undisturbed in the early morning.
In my spare time, I…Remodel houses.
I simply can't resist…A new tool.
Managing Partner Mark Feil founded Resumes On-Line, Inc. with Bob Bidwell in 1991 and helped the company become what it is today through strong relationship building and listening to his clients' specific technician needs. He currently manages ROLINC's sister company ROLINC TecSupport, which focuses on telecommunications and structured cabling in the Denver area.
Mark's resume includes staffing for Coors Field structured cabling among other large projects. With Mark's support on the staffing side, several of his customers have grown exponentially over the years, including a 2003 start-up that has since been ranked a Top 250 Private Company by CoBiz Magazine for several consecutive years. ROLINC TecSupport has become Denver's leading structured cabling staffing provider.
Industrial Trades Division Manager Matthew Trudell has been with ROLINC since early 2016. Prior, Matt started his career by working in logistics for the transportation industry. Quickly learning the ins and outs of the industry, he earned more responsibilities from tracking shipments and coordinating moves to keeping track of rental properties and vehicles, handling tech support and more. Matthew has also been the business manager of a successful photography company in Denver.
At ROLINC, Matthew was hired to fulfill the recruiter role. He quickly used his strong abilities in relationship building to listen to the needs of both clients and job seekers. Matthew was promoted into the division manager role, focusing on growing his division through client communication while still recruiting.
The quote that most shapes my every day would be…"He who has overcome his fears will truly be free."
When I was young, I wanted to grow up to be…Batman.
Chief Operating Officer Adrian Dominguez was born in Berlin, Germany, when his father was stationed there. But since he was raised in Colorado Springs, Adrian has always called Colorado home. He attended Pensacola Bible Institute, studying theology to one day become a pastor. Prior to working with ROLINC, his career history includes regional management for both a health revenue cycle improvement organization and a LEAN manufacturing organization.
The latter position was where Adrian gained his substantial knowledge of all things manufacturing. This gave him the wealth of information needed to launch ROLINC's Skilled Trades Division. Adrian's new division was very successful, allowing the company to fill previously unknown skilled positions within manufacturing due to his extensive niche knowledge and client communication.
In 2014, Adrian became ROLINC's regional sales manager. Now as the Chief Operating Officer for ROLINC since late 2016, Adrian oversees operations of all departments while still having a direct effect on client development for our Front Range region and training our growing sales staff and recruiting teams.
I work best when…I have coffee and time to think, read and work out prior to getting to work in the morning.
People think I look like…Freddie Prinze, Jr. (I hate to admit this, but it has been mentioned many times here at ROLINC Staffing).
In my spare time…I pastor a church, farm alfalfa crop, tend to farm chores, ride horses, and spend time with my beautiful wife and three daughters – we love to be outdoors and explore!
The quote that most shapes my every day would be…"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles […]. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, […] who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming."
When I was young, I wanted to grow up to be…Either pursue a career as a military physician or a pastor.

Facts About Roaches
Roaches are some of the most infamous pests in the world. People are terrified of getting a roach infestation of their own. Roaches are also famous for being some of the most resilient pests in existence. They're difficult to kill, and cockroach infestations often recover. Beating back an infestation is tricky, which is one of the many reasons why it is useful for people to know more about these hated and feared pests. Keeping food sources sealed and stored properly is a good way of getting rid of roaches. Garbage sources need to be sealed and disposed of regularly to control the spread of roaches. Points of entries for roaches need to be sealed as well. Beyond that, people should just try to familiarize themselves with these pests.
Facts About Roaches
- Roaches are capable of living for a week after they have been beheaded.
- Roaches have a top speed of three miles an hour. Cockroaches that are one day old are nearly as fast on the ground as their parents.
- The American cockroach is capable of flying for short distances as an adult.
- American cockroaches, in particular, tend to be drawn to alcoholic beverages of all kinds. They especially like beer and alcoholic beverages that are sugary in some way.
- The cockroach species itself is 280 million years old according to modern evolutionary research.
Can Roaches Give You Diseases?
Yes, cockroaches are capable of transmitting disease. They carry bacteria and germs on their bodies. Given their top speed on the ground, they're able to spread bacteria throughout a property at an unusually fast rate. While roaches are capable of flying for short distances, they typically do not. As such, they will be running across surfaces in a home and scattering bacteria all the while.
What Types of Roaches Are There in America?
There are sixty-nine different species of roaches found in the United States specifically, and this is out of three thousand five hundred species of these bugs on a global scale. Insects have lots of offspring and short lifespans, so new species that cannot breed with other species will form quickly. It should be noted that only around five or six cockroach species commonly invade homes in the United States. The majority of the other species live outdoors.
The American cockroach is ironically not the primary example in the United States, but they certainly occur there. The German roach is a more common species that occurs in America. The Brown-banded Roach, the Smoky Brown roach, and the Oriental Roach are among the roaches that Americans need to worry about explicitly.
Can Roaches Hurt You?
Roaches rarely bite, but it has been known to happen. For the most part, they are harmful because of the diseases that they spread. They can walk on food and give people food poisoning as a result of salmonella bacteria. People who breathe in their body parts and feces can develop asthma attacks or allergic reactions in some cases. Roaches are also certainly capable of destroying food supplies and entire properties, which is a source of indirect harm in its own right.
What Is Their Life-Cycle?
Female American cockroaches will produce oothecae egg cases a half-week or a week after the mating process. The egg cases will have about fifteen different embryos in them. Female roaches have a very high reproductive output since they can produce as many as fourteen of these egg cases throughout the course of their lives. Female cockroaches will carry the egg case on their abdomens for hours or days, and then they will hide the egg cases in safe and hidden locations that they select. They will use their saliva to get the egg cases to stay in one place.
It should take twenty-four to thirty-eight days for the baby nymph roaches to emerge. The nymphs will shed their exoskeletons as part of their development. They will shed their exoskeletons as much as thirteen times by the time they reach adulthood. Each time they shed their exoskeletons, they will resemble adults more and more. It takes about a year or a little less for roaches to reach maturity. They live for a year as adults in most cases. However, given the tremendous reproductive output of a single roach, people certainly cannot just wait for individual roaches to die.

Elks Opera House – reaching the twin pinnacles
This is the seventh and final installment in this series about the Elks Opera House in Prescott Arizona. The series opened with a capsule history of the founding of Prescott in 1864. The previous installment covered the restoration the Elks Opera House has undergone. It now has reached twin pinnacles, representing the best of the past and the best of the present. The best of the past is the opulent and painstaking restoration it underwent. The best of the present are the hidden innards that allow for productions of any kind. That brings us to a point of commencement on this journey of the Elks Opera House. When it was all over the Elks Opera House Foundation raised over two-million dollars in support of the restoration. The outpouring of public support speaks volumes about the importance of the Elks in this community.
Point of commencement
It is somewhat bittersweet to reach the final installment in this series, so I would like to suggest this is not the end of our journey, but a new beginning. I used the term "point of commencement" to describe where the Elks is today. It is at the beginning of a new journey. The Elks building is a condominium with two pieces. The Elks Opera House, which is owned by the City of Prescott and the remainder of the building, owned by a law firm. The City of Prescott would like to get out of the theater management business. The law firm that owns the rest of the building would like to sell their interest. In my opinion, the ideal situation for the Elks Opera House Foundation is to own and manage the entire building, because then it would be financially viable and sustainable.
A call to action
Now that the restoration of the Elks Opera House is complete, it is time to finish the rest of the journey. The Elks Opera House Foundation needs to raise the funds to buy the portion of the Elks building owned by the law firm. The foundation has been raising funds for years and some of the board members could use some help. Prescott has been a retirement destination since the 1990's Money Magazine article brought it to prominence. If you retired here and have played golf for a couple of years and your inner heart tells you "there is more for you to do," you may be a good candidate to help the foundation.

Parker Anderson is the official Historian of the Elks Opera House. He spent thousands of hours compiling all known bookings in the first 100 years of the Opera House.
Jack Wilson is the former Mayor of Prescott Arizona. He has had a long interest in history having founded two neighborhood historic societies in Chicago. He was instrumental in providing the funds that allowed "Bill the Elk" to return from Prescott Valley to his rightful perch atop the Elks Opera House. As president of the Thumb Butte Questers, he coordinated the fund-raising match with Prescott Quester chapters for the Arizona Heritage Fund grant that was used to restore the inner or second lobby.

"And after…you know, after everything was done. I was back in our apartment, her apartment. I was just kind of standing over all of the stuff…and…there wasn't that much. You never realize how much stuff isn't really yours at all. I wasn't too demanding. I let her keep the coffee pot and microwave. Those were mine." the man said.
The interviewer sighed, checking his watch and realizing his original question was now buried under a mound of suppressed emotion. If anything, he decided, he'd have a reason not to back his office for a few more minutes. He continued to listen.
"I looked at her and I tossed her the keys and she turned away, that was it."
"And what of the dog…uh…Trig, was it" the journalist asked.
The man looked down, ran his fingers through his hair, and looked back up before responding "Trig, yeah. She's…". He paused, and then continued "She's got him now."

Well guess what, it's here. And just like every year in central Ohio, we basically bypassed the pleasant upper 60s and low 70s for screaming hot and humid 90s. It happens every year.
It was hot and humid earlier this week, then Thursday afternoon it rained. I was hoping the storm would pass before the walking group was to meet at Sharon Woods, and it did. But it didn't cool it down any. In fact, it seemed like all the rain was evaporating right up off the hot pavement and lingering in the air.
When I got to the park, the group was already making their way around the loop. As I walked in the opposite direction to meet up with them, I thought about winter. I thought about being stuck in the house. I thought about ice on the path and gray skies and no sun. And although the air was humid, suddenly I didn't mind. At the end of the walk, we were seriously sweaty. We chatted and drank water and mopped our brows, and I know everyone left the park that day feeling really good about what they had accomplished.
Friday, my friend Sara and I decided to check out Clear Creek MetroPark in Lancaster. We loaded up our Camelbaks with water and headed down route 33. Our plan was to get a long walk in at the hotter part of the day, around 4:30. As we pulled into the park, we noticed there was only one other car in the lot. There was also a rather dark cloud moving our way overhead. We loaded our backpacks, looked at the map and headed for the trail.
We found the trailhead easily and started the hike and right away, it was a climb. No flat warm-up here. Instead it was climbing up, up, up through a very thick forest on a really beautiful trail. My heart rate monitor was on and it was also going up, up, up. Then...lightening. And a little thunder roll. We were already about fifteen minutes into the woods. Sara said, "It will probably go right past us." Lightening KABOOM.
That was a close one! Just then, rain. OK so we're in a park an hour away from Columbus getting rained on, there isn't another soul in the park that we could see (except maybe the person who was playing the trumpet in the distance), and a storm was above us. Lightening KABOOM.
We stop and laugh. What else can you do.
Then a close one hits. I mean close. The kind where the lightening and the thunder come at the same time. Lightening KABOOM. I put my hands over my head and duck for cover. Holy crap! I start having falling tree flashbacks. Sara's laughing and so am I. Again, what else can you do. Then a lightening with a two count break before the further away kaboom. "Yay, it's moving further away", I say. Lightening KABOOM!
Guess not.
Well, the storm does finally pass and we end up having an amazing hike. Wet and a bit buggy, but one I will never forget. It wasn't hot like we hoped, it certainly wasn't dry. But I burned 1208 calories and spent 2 hours and 11 minutes in my zone. We drove home feeling awesome and will definitely be going back.
Saturday the walking group met at Highbanks at 9:15 AM. When I checked the weather forecast, it looked like clear skies until early afternoon. I asked a few friends to join me at 10:30 for a second loop around, so my plan was for 9 miles total.
The walking group finished in an hour and ten minutes and it was awesome. A little sprinkle but nothing to worry about and a great calorie burn. The average burn for that hike is between 500 - 700 calories. After I said goodbye to the women from the walking group, I met my friends Kelley and Sara for round two. (Yes, same Sara as Friday.)
We looked around at the sky and said, "Looks like it will hold off until we're done."
About thirty minutes in, we started getting a little rain. It felt kind of nice after walking for so long. We were at a point where we could either take a cut-through and be back to the car in about 7 minutes, or we could head away from the parking area deeper into the woods for the 2.5 mile loop that would take another 35 minutes or so. We took a vote and decided unanimously to keep going.
It started to rain hard. We laughed harder.
Then it poured. Buckets. Gallons. Waterfalls.
We were soaked. Water was pouring off my hat in torrents. Kelley got rain in her contact lens and was hiking with that eye closed. Lord have mercy we had water dripping from our eyelids, nose, ears, clothes, shoes. As it poured, puddles started to form on the trails so that we were now slosh-sloshing through them. Then we encountered a group of three young girls around the age of I'd say 11 or 12. They were sloshing and laughing loudly and singing and playing in the rain. And I think we all remembered. This isn't something we need to be protected from. This is AWESOME. We won't melt. This is good stuff.
I worry when the news warns us to stay inside on a 90 degree summer day. Heat advisory? I get it. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are no joke. Hydration is important. Sunscreen is important. Severe weather advisory? I understand. I have had a tree fall on me. But there is a way to be out there smart and not miss the sunshine. There is a way to be out there and not miss the walks. The blue skies. The wildflowers. The summer. There is a way to be out there and not miss the rain. Trust me, don't miss the rain.

Scientists believe piano playing effects on the brain touch most those pianists who start their practicing in childhood.
They show more well developed nerve pathways in some parts of their brains. They also believe that this results in a higher level of fine motor coordination.
The bottom line is that when young people engage in the activity of piano practice, the result is that their brains develop better.
A research group in Stockholm has made a discovery about young piano students developing their brains. They can benefit more fully with piano practice than those starting piano study at a later age. The Journal of Natural Neuroscience presents the findings summarized below.
Piano Playing Effects on the Brain
This piano playing effects on the brain research was organized around three different age groups. With the use of diffusion tensor imaging, childhood, adolescence and adulthood piano practice effects on the white matter of the brain was investigated. There were positive correlations found between piano practicing and fiber tract organization in different regions of the brain for each age group.
It was found that children's piano practice resulted in correlations that were more extensive than the other two groups and included the formation of a pyramidal tract which was more structured in musicians than in non-musicians brains. The conclusion was that long term piano training at critical brain development periods may cause regionally specific plasticity in myelinating (or nerve formation) tracts.
The main finding of this study is a clear effect that can be attributed to piano practice in early childhood. The pyramidal pathway is a group of nerve tracts that travel through the cerebral cortex through the pyramid of the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the spinal chord. This is the part of the brain which develops most during childhood and is also responsible for intricate and sophisticated finger movements.

Corpses don't bleed. At least that's what I kept telling myself as I watched the warm red stuff bubble out of the two bullet holes in my chest. I still had a chance. Not a good chance, but hell, beggars and chumps with thirty-eight caliber slugs in 'em can't be choosers. How did I end up a blood-dappled throw rug? Would it surprise you if I said there was a dame involved? No, I didn't think so. At the end of the day -- drained, damp and dyin' -- it's always a dame.Her name was Lola. Lola Levine. You know the type. California blonde with a brunette bikini wax, actress without a SAG card, naughty pictures on a members only web site, and junior cantor at the Beth Israel Synagogue in Beverly Hills. Well, let's call it Beverly Hills adjacent. Ah, what the hell, West Hollywood. Still, a nice neighborhood to belt out the high holiday Torah favorites. Anyway, Lola Levine. The reason this Buddha-dabblin' gentile is about to get tucked in for the long dirt nap. I wish I could say my sudden loss of precious bodily fluids was the result of me gettin' caught doin' the horizontal horah with the very zoftig Ms. Levine. You know, the ol' jealous rabbi with a loaded Smith and Wesson hidden under his milk dishes story. But it's not. Lola didn't like sex. And the rabbi didn't like Lola. No, I am sittin' here in all my ventilated splendor because Lola's sister liked sex. Her name was Christine. Christine Levine. You know the type. California blonde with a brunette bikini wax, actress without a SAG card, naughty pictures on a members only web site, and trans-sexual Franciscan monk. (TO BE CONTINUED)

The next source could be your hive!
Your bees will do a much better job cleaning the frames than you will ever be able to but what is the best way?
Some beekeepers will place their honey supers back onto the hive for a week. This will give the bees enough time to clean the comb in order to begin building up the honey stores again. Remove your top but leave your inner cover on. Place your 'dirty' frames above your inner cover and place the top back onto the hive. Give it close to a week before trying to remove the supers.
If you do not want to go back into your hive (you called it quits for the season and you want to leave them closed up) you can place the supers out in the open for your bees to clean up. You will want to keep the supers at least 200' away from your bee yard. Again, this can cause a robbing frenzy that can lead back to your hives... so the further away it is, the better.

SPAIN-Barcelona City
Buen viaje
… along with colleagues since the trip was a celebration of the company that I used to work. Well! Nice opportunity but few days only to visit some places in Barcelona.
Barceloneta, anti-smoking law and Smoking bans that are actually applied (considering that in Greece never really worked). Ok, to be honest that made me feel a bit uncomfortable as at that moment I used to smoke. However, the visit in Gaunti park and Dali's house who I adore were unique things that I enjoyed. One thing was strange thhough. Nobody, even young people speak English. It was then when I start to realize things about Franco's dictatorship and not only.

The volatility of oil prices has encouraged technological advances, which have shaped the energy market. The catch is the new techniques remain in place even when oil prices decline. The same may be applicable in the case of fracking. It has increased oil production while reducing the energy market risk premium.
As oil prices were increasing during 2001 to 2008 the industry came up with a new method to increase production. The economic rationale was one of marginal analysis. If the marginal benefit of the increase in the production is larger than the marginal cost associated with it, then it can be used. Thus Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking), as a well-stimulation technique using hydraulically pressurized liquid, became popular.
When oil prices were reaching the $150 a barrel benchmark, the marginal benefits associated with any additional production became immense. Thus, even a seemingly expensive method appeared to be a practical solution. Investors were encouraged by the promise of returns, guaranteed by high oil prices, and the industry convinced that it had to produce more oil.
Consumers knew they would need more and would like to pay less at the gas stations. The industry soon utilized fracking on a national scale. The increase in oil production caught everyone by surprise, even though it was expected. Today many credit fracking with reducing U.S. oil dependency.
That is not all the story. First, in any marginal analysis, both sides argue that many hidden costs and hidden benefits were not taken into account. Those who criticize fracking believe that, by cutting deeper fractures into the rocks to extract as much oil as possible, fracking is hazardous for the environment.
Fracking supporters keep arguing that its positive impact would not be truly measured as it has many indirect and induced effects on the economy. They pointed out how the local economies improved in North Dakota and Texas as fracking improved the oil production. It is remarkable to note that since 2011, U.S. oil production has increased by almost three million barrels a day. Last July, the total production reached 8.5 million barrels a day.
It is Economics 101: when supply increases then the equilibrium price falls and the equilibrium production increases, if all other things are constant. It is true that the oil market has been interrupted by Arab Spring, the uncertainty lingering over Iran's nuclear talks and the recent ISIL threat in Iraq and Syria.
However it must be noted that the increase in the supply of oil in the U.S. and Canada has been larger than any potential decline. So it is no wonder to see the oil prices are falling. The declining trend was further encouraged by the actions taken against ISIL. As the U.S. forces began attacking ISIL targets the market was assured that the risk premium in oil transactions remains unchanged.
Now the second part of story begins. As oil prices are falling and approaching $90 a barrel many ask if fracking is still economically feasible. Declining oil prices are translated into lower marginal benefits for oil produced through fracking. As the marginal benefits diminish and the marginal cost increases or remains unchanged, then there is a price beneath which fracking is no longer feasible. The debate is raging over what this price level is. Many argue that for oil producers to break even using fracking the oil prices must be at least $90 a barrel. In their opinion fracking soon would be uneconomical. Some argue that if a price signal is defined for the environmental damage caused by fracking then fracking already is uneconomical. The fact is the industry is using fracking and it seems it will continue to use it.
Both groups forget one historical fact. Fracking is not the first technique employed by the oil and natural gas industries in a time of despair. During the oil shock of 1970s many industrial countries faced recession. Right away they implemented measures to harness the growth of demand and to increase oil production. Oil prices began to fall before the end of that decade. The trend was invigorated as supply was increasing as well.
The prices fell further to reach an all-time low during late 1980's and early 1990's. No consumer returned to pre-shock days consumption patterns. In the years which followed, OPEC oil ministers spent a good deal of time deciding the output level and complaining about others. It was a new oil industry and a new market reality.
The same can be said of fracking these days. Rising oil prices provided all stakeholders with the necessary incentives to allow, to start and to accept its implementation. Declining oil prices will not take away the fact that fracking is part of the market reality now. As oil prices decline many producers will remember that fracking is more than just another technique. It has insured the energy sector against the volatility of the Middle East and the impulsiveness of some exporters such as Russia. Its existence means a more stable market and a smaller risk premium for oil and natural gas industries. For some that is enough to keep fracking in place, no matter what environmentalists say or how far below $90 a barrel the price of oil falls.

Cops say experienced criminals from Vista came to Carlsbad
It was 9:33 a.m. on a Wednesday morning almost a year ago, on June 20 2012, when a woman phoned police and said her daughter was at home while two intruders came into their house through the doggie door.
The child had used her cell phone to call her mother, after she escaped the residence in the 4300 block of Yosemite Street, according to Carlsbad police. The girl told police she did not answer the front door when a man and woman knocked, and then she heard the pair coming in by way of the doggie door.
Carlsbad police said they arrived in the area by 9:38 a.m. but the home had already been burglarized and the perpetrators were gone. A manhunt continued and at 10:15 a.m. police found Natalie Espinoza hiding in the 3100 block of El Camino Real, and fifteen minutes later police captured Emmanuel Saucedo in the 2600 block of El Camino Real.
At that time 22-year-old Natalie Espinoza was on parole and 24-year-old Emmanuel Saucedo was on probation, police stated.
Court records show that in 2008, eighteen-year-old Natalie Espinoza pleaded guilty to first degree burglary of an inhabited home and DUI. In that deal, charges of stolen vehicle and possession of stolen goods and possession of drugs and under influence of meth were dismissed. The young offender was released into a drug treatment program in May 2008. In January of 2009 Natalie Espinoza admitted attacking a "Jane Doe" witness while bystanders "watched;" she stated in a plea deal "I did unlawfully conspire to commit witness intimidation. I did so to aid a criminal street gang." She was sentenced to 2 years State prison, that time to run concurrent with time for the prior charges. Natalie Espinoza was back on the street by December 2010, when she was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and giving false ID to a peace officer, she pleaded guilty and was granted summary probation (that means she was turned loose without supervision).
Emmanuel Saucedo admitted meth possession in 2010, he was immediately released into a drug program. Records show he failed to show up for any "treatments" and he was re-arrested multiple times and brought into court throughout 2011 and into early 2012. In March of 2012 he was arrested for possession of meth and giving false ID to a peace officer. Emmanuel Saucedo quickly bailed out and then was a "failure to appear" for an April 18, 2012 court appearance. The Carlsbad doggie-door burglary allegedly occurred on June 20 2012.
Emmanuel Saucedo, now 25, and Natalie Joanna Espinoza, now 23, have been held in local custody since their arrest last June. Both apparently made plea deals in the new case, they are on calendar for sentencing today.
Saucedo and Espinoza will appear before the Honorable Judge Aaron Katz in San Diego's North County Courthouse this afternoon, May 22, 2013.

Brazil: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Varied and rich mineral resources and agricultural harvests
- Well diversified industry
- Improving institutional transparency following recent corruption scandals
- Strong internal reserves position (import coverage of roughly 30 months)
- Very sensitive fiscal position
- Bottlenecks in infrastructure
- Low investment level
- High cost of production (wages, energy, logistics, credit)
- Shortages of qualified labor; inadequate education system
Current Trends
Activity is Gradually Recovering
After two years of sharp recession, the economy rebounded in 2017, with GDP growing by 0.6% year-on-year during the first three quarters of the year. On the supply side, agriculture climbed by 14.5% year-on-year, driven by the favorable weather conditions that contributed to a record harvest. Industrial and services activities improved as well: industry rose by 0.4% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2017, while services grew by 1%. On the demand side, the rebound has been mainly driven by household consumption. The improvement is explained by more benign macro fundamentals, such as declining unemployment, low inflation level, and a strong easing monetary cycle since October 2016. On the other hand, investments have weakened as a result of political turmoil: gross fixed investments shrunk by 3.6% in the first nine months of 2017 year-on-year.
Activity is set to gain strength this year, driven by a stronger recovery of household consumption and by exports. A repressed consumption, a stronger job market and a faster pass-through from lower policy rate to the final interest rates will contribute to this movement. In addition, foreign trade should continue to benefit from a still solid global activity (particularly the recovery in Argentina). Despite the generally more positive perspective, investments are likely to remain undermined by upcoming presidential elections (October 2018).
Comfortable Trade Surplus Diverges from a Bleeding Fiscal Account
Brazil's current account has improved significantly in recent years. This shift has been mainly led by a record trade surplus. Weakened local demand versus the relatively higher global growth played a decisive role. The current account deficit is expected to marginally widen in 2018 as economic rebound gains traction. Nevertheless, the current account deficit will remain easily covered by direct investments received by the country (coverage of approximately eight times).
The fiscal aspect remains the Achilles's heel of the Brazilian economy. Gross public debt has increased significantly over recent years, leading the country to successive downgrades by rating agencies. The economic team of President Michel Temer took office in May 2016 and has since pursued a tightened fiscal policy. Improvements were achieved, such as the approval in Congress of a spending cap that limits the growth of government expenses by the previous year's inflation. A social security reform, which is a key to containing fiscal bleeding, was also sent to the Lower House in December 2016. However, the proposal – which requires 60% support in two rounds of voting in the Lower House and in the Senate – was delayed by new political scandals that came into light and threatened President Temer's government, who managed to weather two complaints imposed by the Attorney General, but not without consequences. The now-weakened government, with less political support in Congress, is running out of time to pass a softer version of the social security reform, which nonetheless might be unsuccessful due to the proximity of the legislative elections in October 2018.
Presidential Elections of October 2018 Will Be Closely Watched
Former Vice President Michel Temer (center-right PMDB party) became President in August 2016, after President Dilma Rousseff (leftist Labor Party) was impeached by the Congress. The case was triggered by the accusation that her government was hiding the size of the public deficit (breaking the Fiscal Responsibility Law). Her dismissal, however, gradually became more likely with the "Operation Car Wash" investigation approaching the heart of her party. This investigation, initiated in March 2014 and carried out by the Federal Police of Brazil, has revealed widespread corruption scandals within several of the country's political parties, and impacted President Temer in May 2017. The new turmoil was triggered by the content of the plea bargain of the chairman of Brazil's largest meat processing group. President Temer was able to survive two charges brought against him by the Attorney General, thanks to a mobilization that included the ostensive use of the state apparatus.
The presidential and legislative elections in October 2018 will be held in a challenging political environment. The population is both tired of the current government (only 5% considers the PMDB government good or very good) and angered by the widespread corruption. This scenario might create an opportunity for outsiders, but because the presidential candidates are not yet concretely confirmed, it is too early to try and predict the winner. However, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Labor Party) and the extreme-right populist Jair Bolsonaro were doing well in the polls in late 2017. "Lula" is currently the frontrunner, but might not be able to run after being found guilty on corruption and money-laundering charges in July 2017. If his sentence is maintained on appeal, he will be prevented of running for elections.
