Note from the BoardHello Everyone Thank you for taking a few minutes to read our newsletter.

We hope that this newsletter adds value to this community by distributing information that is helpful to all.

This month we would like to provide details on submitting requests to the Architectural Control Committee.

The purpose of this committee is to preserve the pleasant appearance of the Lakeline Ranch Subdivision and in doing so to maintain the property values for the HOA Membership. A request must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee prior to making any changes to the exterior appearance of your home. A copy of the request form may be obtained from our community manager, Carl Gamble, at Goodwin Management. The form must be completed in its entirety; it may then be submitted via e-mail or us-mail. Once the Community manager has the request it will be entered into a request management database. It will then be reviewed by members of the Architectural Control Committee who will approve the request, ask for more information about the request, or deny the request. The system is reasonably efficient; however there are occasionally problems in processing the request. If ten or more days pass and you have not had a response back from Goodwin Management please contact Carl to check on the status of your request. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Carl Gamble can be reached at (512) 431-2400. Respectfully,Robert Hammerbach

Texas TrippingDestination: Waco! More precisely, the Mayborn Museum

on the campus of Baylor University. One of my criteria for a successful family activity is that it has some appeal to all my kids who are ages 2-12, and the Mayborn Museum did not disappoint. Our first trip to the museum resulted in a 5 hour stay exploring the various rooms. I was shocked to find that our second trip to the museum also resulted in a 5 hour stay. The lower floor of the museum is filled with natural history displays. One room displays Stecker’s Cabinet of Curiosities. Former museum curator John Stecker had a passion for collecting and his fabulous finds and oddities are on display, including the skull of humpback whale. Behind the complex is an historic village which displays what life was like in the late 19th century (definitely recommend those who need strollers get them because this can be a long, hot walk). One of our favorite exhibits is a replica of the Waco Mammoth Site. Approximately 68,000 years ago a herd of mammoths was trapped in a sudden flash flood. As the adult mammoths were attempting to save the young the banks of the river caved in killing them all. The exhibit displays the original cast of the fossils. This exhibit is especially exciting because it is covered by a glass floor. The kids can walk right on top of the exhibit and look down at the fossils while watching a

video depict the s t o r y o f

you!

the mammoths and what might have been happening when they all died. This area of the museum tends to hold the interest of the 8 and up age group. The younger kids did enjoy it, but they were not interested in an in-depth look and tended to move us quickly through the displays.

After visiting the natural history portion of the museum there is another 1½ floors filled with hands on discovery rooms which will delight the kids. There are rooms for imaginary play, including a log cabin room, a tea party room and an international dress up room. The other rooms are for exploring things like bubbles, water flow, electricity, optics and sound waves. There is a communications room filled with old fashioned typewriters, phones, and a switchboard and yes…the kids can touch and touch and touch. And there are plenty of benches for parents to rest while the kids thoroughly enjoy themselves. Some of the discovery rooms were interesting to my 12 year old, but he found half of them to be boring or “too young” for him. This area of the museum is great for ages 3-10.

One nice touch is you can come and go from the museum, so we were able to break our day up by going to lunch at one of the many nearby restaurants. Also for a small additional charge there is a travelling exhibit and this has many hands on activities for the kids. The current exhibit is filled with the inventions of Leonardo daVinci . Some items are look only but there are plenty that the kids can try out themselves. All in all the museum is worth the 1½ hour drive to Waco. The museum is located just off of I35 and is easy to find.

dining divas

cornerThe August choice for

Dining Divas was Trudy’s in Austin! Wow what a time we

had. We had a few new Divas with us, and a couple of the usuals were not around, even Picky Pam stayed home!

Trudy’s has a great reputation for great food and drinks, and tonight they lived up to it. We dined on the usual Tex-Mex; All the food was great, as were the drinks and the service. Our FAVORITE is the stuffed avocado! Boy, is this to die for. If you eat there- you must try this! We give it 7 out of 7 hair tosses!

We only have one negative comment….It is just too far… we need one a bit closer, ya hear that Trudy?

Once they find an appealing source of light (preferring white versus yellow wavelengths), moths seem entranced by it. Like humans, moth’s eyes contain light sensors, but unlike humans their dark-adapting mechanism responds much more slowly than their light-adapting mechanism. This could mean that they may not want to leave the light since the dark renders them blind for so long, and might explain why they can be attracted to the light over & over again. Lastly, since moths are generally nocturnal creatures, they may respond to the light like they would the rising sun, and settle in for a good day’s sleep.

With so many thousands of moth species, even the largest can be difficult to identify. Clues can be gleaned from their profile or posture, vein patterns in their wings, and even the time of night that they are most active. Moths have antennae that are either feather-like or hair-like, with the male’s antennae being larger than the female’s. This is beneficial for detecting the pheromones (a chemical signal that triggers a natural response from a member of the same species) released by the females from as much as 8 kilometers away!

Some of our most beautiful nighttime jewels include the Cecropia, Imperial, Luna, and Polyphemus moths. These large moths, all members of the Giant Silkworm (Saturniidae) family, hold our greatest fascination. Cecropia larvae grow to about 4 inches in length, and you can often hear them as they eat. Imperial moths emerge in September/October awash in yellow & purple. The luminescent green Lunas, like all Saturniidae, are born without a mouth – they never eat or drink, as their main purpose is to reproduce. And the Polyphemus is named for the Greek Cyclops due to the large purple eyespot on each hindwing. So the next time you’re up at night, wander outside by a light and see if you can spot some of these lovely creatures! Send your nature-related questions to [email protected] and we’ll do our best to answer them.

While much more numerous but not as widely studied as their close cousin the butterfly, moths are a large and fascinating group of insects. Making up about 80% of the insect order known as Lepidoptera, most moths are active mainly at night, strangely attracted to light, and while some never eat, many species can live much longer than most butterflies and can even hibernate over the winter.

Like butterflies, the lifecycle of a moth is comprised of an egg, caterpillar (larvae), pupa, and adult. The length of this cycle and each of its phases varies with each species, with some species producing as many as 10 broods a year. Many moths have hairy bodies to help maintain the internal body temperature necessary for flight, and heat up their flight muscles by vibrating their wings, since they don’t have the radiant energy of the sun to assist them. Sphinx moths, whose wings beat 70 times per second, have a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and even more amazingly, many pupate underground! Moths range in size from the micros that have wingspans of 3-4 millimeters to the female Cecropia moth, with a record wingspan of over 130 millimeters, the largest insect in North America.

Moths are positively phototactic, or automatically move toward a source of light. While the exact reason for this is unknown, interesting theories abound. Some moths are known to migrate short distances, and may use the night sky to navigate. They may use the moon as a primary reference point and have the ability to calibrate their flight paths as the moon moves across the night sky. This may help orient them, and can also explain the disorientation they seem to experience when they unexpectedly ‘catch’ or fly above a light source that they think is the moon. It’s also possible that moths look at light as an escape route mechanism, where flying up (toward the light) signifies safety, and flying down (toward the darkness) signifies danger.
