The Texas Hill Country is the heart of Texas and is known as the backyard playground for Texans that like to have fun enjoy nature hang out live and retire We like our big cities like Austin and San Antonio but we also love our smaller towns like Bandera Dripping Springs Fredericksburg Gruene Kerrville Luckenbach Marble Falls New Braunfels and Utopia

The Texas Hill Country a vernacular term for the 25 county region of Central and South Texas reaches into portions of two major Texas metropolitan areas San Antoniorsquos northern suburbs and the western portions of Austin in Travis County

Editorrsquos LetterAttending social affairs brings with it the opportunity to meet some amazing people Such was the case back in June at The Belmont where I attended a Summer Soiree to benefit Kids in A New Groove Dulce Vida Tequila was flowing at the bar and soulful rock-a-billy esque music entertained Admittedly the only cowboy in the crowd of summer dresses and polo shirts with slacks the event did help raise funds for a very worthwhile organization and introduced me to a new band
Prior to attending the Soiree a friend and I ventured out to Wimberley stopping along the way to enjoy some famous Texas Bar-B-Que at the Salt Lick and enjoyed the Hill Country scenic route that meandered through some of our great Texas vineyards farms and small towns It was during this outing that the idea came about for a special issue dedicated to the area west of Austin called the Texas Hill Country
Rich in tradition alive with heritage and rapidly becoming the most popular vacation destinations the Hill Country provides more than most imagine is available in Texas Most people think of Texas as ranches cowboys and the wild west however here around Austin we prefer to express the truth Wersquore innovative high-tech modern liberal accepting and greatly enjoy a lifestyle many envy A day trip into the Hill Country brings shopping wine tasting gourmet meals and restful retreat from the everyday city life
Yoursquore invited to explore the best of the Texas Hill Country in this special edition which also features some amazing properties just in case yoursquore thinking of making this area your new home
Be Sure to say Hi and Irsquoll see you here when you visit and if yoursquore moving here please contact me and Irsquoll be sure to connect you with a reputable Real Estate professional to assist you in finding a great new home

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterLady Bird Johnson our former first lady and actress Helen Hayes founded an
organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

The Texas Hill Country a vernacular term for the 25 county region of Central and South Texas reaches into portions of two major Texas metropolitan areas San Antoniorsquos northern suburbs and the western portions of Austin in Travis County

Prior to attending the Soiree a friend and I ventured out to Wimberley stopping along the way to enjoy some famous Texas Bar-B-Que at the Salt Lick and enjoyed the Hill Country scenic route that meandered through some of our great Texas vineyards farms and small towns It was during this outing that the idea came about for a special issue dedicated to the area west of Austin called the Texas Hill Country
Rich in tradition alive with heritage and rapidly becoming the most popular vacation destinations the Hill Country provides more than most imagine is available in Texas Most people think of Texas as ranches cowboys and the wild west however here around Austin we prefer to express the truth Wersquore innovative high-tech modern liberal accepting and greatly enjoy a lifestyle many envy A day trip into the Hill Country brings shopping wine tasting gourmet meals and restful retreat from the everyday city life

brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Prior to attending the Soiree a friend and I ventured out to Wimberley stopping along the way to enjoy some famous Texas Bar-B-Que at the Salt Lick and enjoyed the Hill Country scenic route that meandered through some of our great Texas vineyards farms and small towns It was during this outing that the idea came about for a special issue dedicated to the area west of Austin called the Texas Hill Country

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterLady Bird Johnson our former first lady and actress Helen Hayes founded an
organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Prior to attending the Soiree a friend and I ventured out to Wimberley stopping along the way to enjoy some famous Texas Bar-B-Que at the Salt Lick and enjoyed the Hill Country scenic route that meandered through some of our great Texas vineyards farms and small towns It was during this outing that the idea came about for a special issue dedicated to the area west of Austin called the Texas Hill Country

brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterLady Bird Johnson our former first lady and actress Helen Hayes founded an
organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterLady Bird Johnson our former first lady and actress Helen Hayes founded an
organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower CenterLady Bird Johnson our former first lady and actress Helen Hayes founded an
organization in 1982 to protect and preserve North Americarsquos native plants and natural landscapes First as the National Wildflower Research Center and later as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants Every day the Wildflower Center
brings life to Mrs Johnsonrsquos vision in its public gardens its woodlands and sweeping meadows as well as in internationally influential research In 2006 the Center became
an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin
Decades ago Mrs Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty As much as 30 percent of the worldrsquos native flora is at risk of
extinction The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America Since then the Center has become
one of the countryrsquos most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants
The Centerrsquos gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country South and West Texas while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage
of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7200 native species available online
The Land Restoration Program applies knowledge of ecological processes to restoring damaged landscapes The Centerrsquos education programs for children and adults teach
people about their natural surroundings and how to grow native plants
Many Events including weddings are held at the Wildflower Center and our favorite events are the Plant Sales For a complete list of events click here

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Salutations Representing Austin Luxury
Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Salutations Representing Austin Luxury
Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Andrewrsquos advice for other children struggling to learn a musical instrument ldquoDonrsquot give up and donrsquot be a quitterrdquo

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz
Fredericksburg is home to a thriving art community with galleries and studios featuring nationally and internationally acclaimed artists

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler
Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge
From the viewpoint of a gliding red-tailed hawk the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge appears to straddle the divide between the Colorado and Brazos watersheds The canyons facing Austin are deeply etched by erosion from the Colorado River tributaries
This rugged terrain has spared old Ashe juniper and oak woodlands from logging and shelters some of the best golden-cheeked warbler habitat The Brazos tributaries to the north cut only shallow canyons Here the refuge foothills ease into savannahs where the open country supports oak shinneries vital to the black-capped vireo Both endangered songbirds share a common dilemma They depend on very specialized habitats to make a living and those places grow fewer by the day in the wake of development and human activity Thatrsquos why this refuge has a critical role to play in both preserving and restoring their homes
Beneath the homes of songbirds lies a mysterious world of caves rivers and sinkholes called ldquokarstrdquo Over time naturally acidic water dissolved the limestone and sculpted a labyrinth inhabited by night creatures Ringtail cats and raccoons retreat into cave entrances for shelter Cliff chirping frogs and whitethroat slimy salamanders squeeze into moist crevices Cave crickets and daddy longlegs live within caves but leave to feed and return Some spiders beetles and pseudoscorpions never come out to the light living all their lives in reclusive darkness Still deeper lies the Edwards Aquifer the source of many Central Texas springs and beautiful Hill County rivers These same rivers eventually flow into the marshes estuaries and bays along the Texas coast
But here on the refuge well above the surface the deep clear-water pools are not only important sources of water for wildlife during a drought they are often the last refuge for the hardy fish that remain An occasional flash flood will sweep through wiping out

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

Texas is one of the oldest wine growing states in the US with vines planted here more than a hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Baron Otfried Hans Freiherr von Meusebach Friedrich Richard Petri Frank Valentin van der Stucken Jacob Brodbeck Admiral Chester W Nimitz President Lyndon Baines Johnson Claudia Alta Taylor and Hondo Crouch may not all be familiar names however these colorful insightful and courageous people all are known for their connection with a small rural town in cental Texas Baron Meusebach later called John Meusebach led an adventurous group of German immigrants to the promise of a better life in the rugged hill country of Texas in the 1840s and was responsible for the peaceful settlement of these newcomers among the Comanche Indians
Yes this small town has a wealth of history and today itrsquos German heritage is reflected in its architecture food and rich traditions Fresh made German pancakes Schnitzel and gourmet meals are common at the favored restaurants and even at the quaint and charming Bed amp Breakfast establishments Here in Central Texas we adore our day trips out into the Texas Hill Country especially to the spend the day wandering along the shops and eateries along Hauptstrasse (Main Street) and Marketplatz also known as Market Square in the historic town of Fredericksburg
Generations-old peach orchards lush vineyards lavender farms wild seed farms state parks and some of the best scenic drives in Texas surround Fredericksburg which is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country In town spend the day exploring the museums art galleries antique stores spas and over fifty restaurants There are over 100 quaint shops for clothing jewelry fine art home furnishings antiques and much much more
Our favorite time of the year to visit Fredericksburg is well all year but particular events are the hallmarks Springtime there is the majestic beauty of the Texas wildflowers with massive displays at Wildseed Farms Summer brings peaches and the intoxicating fragrance and beauty of the lavender in bloom Fall kicks off with loads of fun at Oktoberfest and the Fall Wine Trail and Winter is ushered in with the traditional German Christmas Market twinkling Christmas lights and ice skating at the Marktplatz

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Meet Andrew one of the children in the Kids in A New Groove music program He captivates his listeners through the creation of his own songs and wanted to play the piano after seeing his older cousin play the saxophone He writes and plays many of his own songs and in fact he and his teacher were the opening

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Meet Andrew one of the children in the Kids in A New Groove music program He captivates his listeners through the creation of his own songs and wanted to play the piano after seeing his older cousin play the saxophone He writes and plays many of his own songs and in fact he and his teacher were the opening
act for Blues Traveler in November 2011
Andrewrsquos advice for other children struggling to learn a musical instrument ldquoDonrsquot give up and donrsquot be a quitterrdquo
Austinrsquos Executive amp Luxury Relocation Guide - p 48
Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Kids in a New GrooveChildren in state operated foster systems seldom are given more than the basics in care although some foster parents may seek to give these special children a little extra especially in terms of love Now there is a new groove a new beat and a new chance for children in foster care Kids In A New Groove (KING) a nonprofit that aims to enhance the lives of foster children through music provides music lessons of the childrsquos choice at no cost to the foster family
ldquoAfter I left my job as a prosecutor I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do something to help foster youthrdquo stated Karyn Scott a previous prosecutor and now director of KING Scott decided on music mentorship in 2009 after starting Kids In New Digs in 2004 a nonprofit aimed at providing used clothing to foster children ldquoMentorship is the most powerful way to reach foster youth and have a successful chance to have them age out of carerdquo Scott said ldquoWe put that together with music because music is a really powerful tool for abused and neglected youth it is a very successful therapyrdquo
ldquoA big component of our program is that kids can earn their own instrumentrdquo Scott said ldquoThe idea is that youth in foster care donrsquot get to experience the sense of achievement that other kids get because they are transferred so frequently By meeting goals and advancing in lessons the students can earn their own instrument from the nonprofit something they may not be able to achieve otherwise Kids In A New Groove attempts to combat this by keeping the student and teacher together if at all possible in an attempt to build a stable relationship Itrsquos about how great these kids can be thatrsquos what itrsquos aboutrdquo
KING currently pays its teachers but is hoping to recruit volunteer teachers in order to expand and serve more foster youth ldquoWersquove got a long waiting list but wersquove also got a long list of people who want to helprdquo commented Scott ldquoWe are really trying to recruit volunteer teachersrdquo
There are a lot of programs that target disadvantaged youth but they donrsquot reach children in foster care because the kids keep changing schools One girl in the program for instance has been in six homes in a year-and-a-half These kids have typically experienced a lot of trauma or abuse The music gives them something positive to focus on goals to reach and mentors they can count on and build relationships with
To get involved consider donating and if yoursquore musically inclined then consider investing in a childrsquos future by becoming a volunteer Get in a new groove by learning more about Kids in A New Groove

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Austin Music Sons of FathersTrends and styles may change in music but there are just some things
that are timelesshelliplike song writing from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals The team of David Beck (a stage
name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers a band with a soaring original sound that belies their
young age They have been compared to the Avett Brothers The Byrds and The Everly Brothers albeit with an infusion of Texas grease Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos Texas Though the two had met casually a chance encounter at
Thompsonrsquos Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces
Paul remembers ldquoI was walking in with my guitar and my writing notebook and Dave was walking out with his guitar and bookrdquo As soon as
the Texans starting writing and singing together they realized that they had found something special ldquoWe knocked out an incredible number of
songs in two daysrdquo says Paul Singing together came just as easily ldquoItrsquos the weirdest thing The harmony is the last thing we worry about We just fall into sockets of harmony naturallyrdquo says Paul Originally called Beck amp Cauthen the group changed itrsquos name to lsquoSons of Fathersrsquo after the success of their song by the same name to reflect the inclusion of the
whole band not just a duo
We are all in this together and we all play a rolerdquo Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel Dan Cohen on guitar and mandolin and
Dees Stribling on drums the band functions as an organic unit Sons of Fathers is an especially appropriate name Continue Reading

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

were planted in California or Virginia In the 1650s Franciscan priests planted Mission vines in West Texas near modern day El
Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen
being native to the state more than any other region on earth

Salutations Representing Austin Luxury
Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Paso Thomas Munson horticulturist used Texas vines to create hundreds of hybrid grapes and conducted significant research
in finding root stock immune to the Phylloxera epidemic which saved the French wine industry from total ruin Texas is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

There are four major regional styles of barbecue in this country but none like the ldquoTexas-stylerdquo The Texas Hill Country has hidden treasures of small BBQ pits in sleepy little unknown towns and some more well known establishments
Lockhart the epicenter of Texas barbecue and home to several choices including two of the most famous joints in the nation Smittyrsquos Market and Kreuz Market The nearby town of Luling known in smoked-food circles for the more cultish City Market barbecue parlor and Snowrsquos in Lexington open only on Saturdays until food runs out These four are representative of the best Texas Hill Country Barbecue - similar yet uniquely different
There are no ldquoplattersrdquo or entrees just meat sold by weight and one of the pitmen cuts your food to order on a big wooden butcher block Ask for half a pound of brisket and one of many briskets is pulled sliced and returned to the smoker Your meats are laid on a sheet of brown butcher paper weighed on an old-fashioned scale topped with white bread or crackers then artfully folded up and handed to you
The best barbecue in Texas is currently being served at Snowrsquos BBQ in Lexington a small restaurant open only on Saturdays and only from eight in the morning until whenever the meat runs out usually around noon Snowrsquos is remarkable not only for the quality of its meat but for the little pissant wood-frame building with four hoursrsquo worth of business per week Pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz is a petite energetic 73-year-old woman who works during the week as a custodian in the Giddings school district Shersquos been smoking since 1967 when she ran the pits at City Meat Market in Giddings She and her husband White owned a combination meat market butcher shop and barbecue joint in Lexington for twenty years When Snowrsquos opened five years ago she helped owner Kerry Bexley design the pits Every Saturday she arrives at three am and builds the fires She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps the brisket in butcher paper around six or seven Be sure to get here early to ensure you get Texasrsquo Best Barbecue

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings

Throughout recorded history people have been harnessing the windrsquos energy As early as 5000 BC wind propelled boats along the Nile River and by 200 BC simple windmills
were pumping water in China and woven reed sails were used to grind grain in Persia By the 11th century people were using the power of the wind for food production in the
Middle East and the Dutch refined the windmill for use in draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta Early settlers took windmill technology to the New World in the late
19th century where wind was used to pump water for farms and ranches and eventually for electricity for both residential and commercial uses
The American colonists relied upon windmills to grind wheat and corn and to cut wood in sawmills The invention of electricity saw the development of windmills to produce power for farms residences and some commercial buildings Large industrialized windmills were
used as early as 1890 in Denmark and in the 1940s the largest wind turbine operated in Vermontrsquos Grandparsquos Knob Most of the early windmills have been lost but the American
Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock Texas showcases more than 100 rare and unique windmills from the early 1800s
Wind power does not generate carbon dioxide and requires no water unlike fossil-fuel production and causes no harm to the natural environment which is why wind energy has
seen a substantial increase The wind industry has steadily grown over the last decade attracting nearly $18 billion a year in private investment since 2008 according to the
American Wind Energy Association Here in Texas wind power has seen an increase partly due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard signed into law by then Governor George W Bush in 1999 and extended ever since The challenge has been getting the wind power from the
large wind farms in the Panhandle to the ever growing Central Texas area
Today wind energy is a renewable form of energy derived mostly from large wind farms consisting of colossal wind turbines however there are newer wind alternatives These
massive wind turbines do have some issues such as harming bird and bats being required to be built in low population areas and then again the problem of getting the power to
where it will be used
Austin is known for its innovation entrepreneurial spirit and its green energy initiatives The challenge of providing clean renewable energy directly where it is produced is being
met by Building Turbines Inc an Austin company publicly traded as BLDW Building Turbinesrsquo innovative rooftop mounted wind turbines maximize sustainability and are ideal
for the urban commercial industrial and government buildings
