TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The Shawnee Co. Coroner has finally released a report on the cause of death of a 2 year-old girl, who was attacked by a pit bull mix at a relative's home in December 2012.
Savannah Edwards was with her mother, Amanda Ashwell, visiting the home at 5831 SE Cross when she was mauled. Savannah was rushed to the hospital where she died soon after arrival.
Shawnee County District coroner Donald Pojmann's faxed 13 News the coroner's report on Thursday. It says Savannah died from crushing head injuries.
Back when the attack happened,neighbors told us the dog's owner warned them that the pit bull would attack.
The Shawnee Co. District Attorney's Office says it never received an investigative report from the sheriff to consider possible charges. We asked the Sheriff's Office why a report would not have been forwarded in a child death case, but they have not yet answered.
The dog was put to death.

SEE you soon!
STRESS reliever....Plan Mini Getaway!
Need a recharge? A mini-getaway is a great way to relieve some stress! Get active with a hike along a near-by trail, laugh a bit at one of the many casino comedy clubs, and connect with your loved one. You need it! Chronic stress can raise your risk of a variety of health problems making a strong argument for getting away!
SEE you soon!
Barnyard watch dog!
Our early warning system is also a great bug eater! Guinea fowl are know for raising a ruckus when something unfamiliar comes around. From guest to hawks they get all in a tizzy and make quite a racket. Thus calling the alarm to the hens to run for shelter! Quite hand to have around! Unlike the chickens they don"t generally tear apart the gardens scratching for bugs, but simply just walk around pecking here and there! So if ticks and the like are a problem in your yard I recommend this funny looking fowl, and as a added bonus they will squawk the alarm when you have visitors!
Old Man Winter comes to visit!
Amazing it comes each and every year but the first snow is just so magical!
We got a dusting to covert the ground and add some icing on the leaves, Mother Nature is just so Beautiful!
This makes me think of the holidays to come and the magic of the season!
Thank a VET
Today as I am sure you all know is the day the government has set aside to thank those who serve or have served our United States of American. Each and every person man or women, young or old, who gave of them selves so you would have the right today to read this and so much more.
I say... pay it forward and each and every day this year when you wake up place your hand over your heart and say the pledge, blow a kiss to the heavens and give thanks to those who served and are at home with the lord. Be kind to others, and if you see a military person, simply say thank you!
Its all about our freedom, and the freedoms we have yet to enjoy!
Frost on the roses!
A Day In Mystic!
Mystic was just glorious yesterday. I could not help but notice as I drove along river rd how beautiful the roses were, in NOV! In fact I was wishing I had left earlier so I could have taken some pictures! I had lunch at the S&P Oyster House with a group of Innkeepers from Canada, and fellow business folks from Mystic. My neighbor Erica was there as well and we shared a bit about or B&B's and what draws people to the area. Lunch was amazing and I learned some information about Mystic I did not know!
Dinner was at The DPI a favorite of mine, and did you know that during resturant week you could dine there to include a glass of wine for $20 per.
person! It was a great say and I look forward to getting together with some of the folks I meet....Road trip to Canada anyone?
Autumn color!
This Autumn has been delightful and it promises to continue! The leaves are such an amazing color! Walking outside is a real treat, that is if you like the sound they make when you shuffle through them! Its a favorite of mine! Near-by lakes make a good choice for a walk and we are surrounded by them! After a good walk to come in and sit by the fire, g
Leaves like the ones in the picture at Lake Hayward are falling fast! And the smell of them are intoxicating! I bet Yankee Candle even has that scent bottled! I love everything about them, except raking them! The smell, the sound they make when you tramp through them, watching them twirl to the ground, their colors, their shades, everything.
As a gardener I have seen first hand what leaves left in the garden can do. They provide homes for the varmints who love to nest in them. While living there they are busy eating the roots of your plants, yummy!
So it is important to remove all leaves from around your plants. When the ground becomes frozen, surround the base of your tender perennials with composted cow manure. Most home improvement stores have huge clearance sales about now, so pick so up!
PS I use to rake leaves for the summer people at Lake Hayward for some extra money, I HATED the job!
Boo! Today is the only day were we witches can don our hats and strut our stuff and dare you to call us witchy! I love the looks I have gotten as I go about my normal day in my favorite hat! In fact once in Home Depot a man came up to me and said...this is proably the oly time I can get away with saying your a "real witch". I should have spun around and placed a spell on him!
So enjoy the day, be silly, and go "trick or Treating" no matter your age!
Treasures galore

Suspended MPs take on 1 woman MP, Renuka comes down heavily
The Rajya Sabha member and Congress MP, Renuka Chowdhary has come down heavily on the allegations leveled against her by the eight Congress MPs who were suspended a few days ago for creating ruckus in the house on Telangana issue. Sources said Renuka Chowdhary she would send legal notices to the MPs who passed comments on her. Further, she said she hails from Telangana region and she has done so much for the development of the region. Renuka Chowdhary stressed she brought funds from the Centre to develop the region. "Taking on a woman this way is not the culture of Telangana," she stressed.
It may be recalled that the Congress MPs including Madhu Yashki Goud took on heavily on Renuka Chowdhary stating that she was against Telangana. The leaders said it was unfortunate there was no support for them from Renuka Chowdhary.
All these elements clearly prove that the Congress doesn't need any opposition. There is an opposition in the party itself. It looks like the MPs were either targeting Renuka Chowdhary or the Congress party itself. Is there any opposition party behind this episode is another question that has become topic of the town. All in all, the Congress suspended MPs-who once hailed the high command are apparently going against the high command. Will they quit the Congress and bring split in the party on the issue remains to a rhetorical question. (Phani)

Associated Press
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) -- Sri Lanka's election chief said Thursday that the first postwar provincial elections in the country's war-torn northern province will be held Sept. 21, more than four years after the end of the island nation's quarter century civil war.
The announcement by the commissioner of elections, Mahinda Deshapriya, follows intense international pressure on the government to share power with national ethnic minority Tamils, who make up the majority in the province.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa had announced last year that council elections would be held in Northern Province, but the date was not set until Thursday.
The provincial councils were set up as a result of an agreement between Sri Lanka and its powerful neighbor India in 1987 in an effort to end Tamil militancy. However, the Tamil rebels rejected the deal, saying the councils' powers were inadequate. The rebels continued their fight until they were crushed by government troops in May 2009, ending the civil war.
The Tamil Tigers, who were designated by many countries as a terrorist organization, fought to create a separate state for Tamils in Sri Lanka's northern and eastern provinces. According to a United Nations report, about 40,000 civilians might have been killed in the last five months of the fighting alone.
After the war, Rajapaksa promised to allow a greater degree of autonomy in Tamil-majority regions in the north. However, he has been criticized by foreign countries and rights groups for failing to deliver on his promises.
The government announced recently that it would scrap land and police powers given to the provincial councils, drawing criticism from opposition political parties and Indian leaders.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed "dismay" at Sri Lanka's plan when he met with a group of opposition Tamil lawmakers from Sri Lanka last month.
India has a major interest in the dispute because southern India is home to 60 million Tamils.

Wichita Police arrested 11 people at a party on Sunday morning after party-goers refused to leave.
Officers were called to a large disturbance at a home in the 2100 block of S. Poplar shortly after midnight on Sunday.
Neighbors called about a party with possibly 40-50 people. They reportedly said party-goers were outside and being too loud.
When officers arrived, they made contact with the party host, who asked police to assist in having the party shut down. Officers asked people to leave but several individuals refused.
"Several of the individuals within the house took exception to the officers asking them to leave. They felt that they were entitled to be there. Several of them started pointing fingers at the officers that were there," said Lt. Doug Nolte, Wichita Police.
Investigators say one individual took a stance and swung and hit an officer.
The three initial officers requested back up to contain the scene. By the time the scene was cleared out 29 officers made it there.
Officers arrested 11 people, ranging in ages from 16 to 51, for various charges, including underage drinking. One person was taken to the hospital for minor cuts to the hand.

Ad executives are going to have to change the way they do business and include more progressive methods to reach customers. Marketers want more focus on other advertising like online video and social networking sites and less on traditional media alone. That's according to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal.
As the economy slows, more businesses are attracted to Internet advertising. Not only is it often less expensive, but it's also easier to measure than tv and print ads. Every prediction I've seen shows growth in this space outpacing growth in traditional advertising methods. Merrill Lynch predicts ad spending in the U.S. will grow 2.3% this year and that businesses will move more budgets online – increasing the portion spent online to 18%. Publicis Groupe's ZenithOptimedia says it spending online should exceed that spent on radio as soon as this year. The Internet should outspend magazine advertising by 2010.

An engineering firm is expected to spend most of 2007 evaluating Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's perimeter security and will make recommendations for improving it.
Burns Engineering Inc., a firm with offices in Phoenix and around the country, will deliver its recommendations and cost estimates next November, after which airport officials will decide whether to move forward.
It's likely the firm will present several options. A perimeter-intrusion detection system could consist of everything from lasers and closed-circuit television to below-ground sensors and could cost millions, the airport has said.
The upgrades are not necessarily considered to be antiterrorism tools and are not mandated by the federal government. Instead, Sky Harbor says any technology would primarily be used to protect passengers from everyday threats.
The airport currently relies primarily on police patrols and similar measures to monitor the grounds.
"We've had wandering pedestrians come out of the riverbed and try to go across a runway in the middle of the day, while planes are taking off," said Paul Hamersly, deputy aviation director for technology. "We've had vehicles driven by drunk drivers come off Air Lane and plow into our fences."
A high-profile breach occurred in 2005, when a man in a stolen truck was able to breach a gate and gain access to the airfield, speeding past several taxiing commercial jets in the process.
The incident made national television and prompted Sky Harbor to spend $10 million on upgrades to its perimeter fences, a project that is still under way.
But this new system would go several steps beyond that and would be much more technologically advanced than what is in place. The airport says the need for the technology was first identified in its master security plan, which was updated in 2004.

I must disagree, limric and pt, I think the dems are so taken with having a woman for prez that they will nominate The Hillster and expect her to win. She would have the substantial help of the First Gentleman in waiting [!] in getting out the vote (like him or not, he can still bring it). And who else do the dems have, after all? Whether she would win depends on who the repubs nominate. I think they have several viable candidates, but I doubt they will nominate one of them.

conman, you left out that 73% said they could not afford to have a baby. Maybe you missed it, but more likely you intentionally left that out - it was the next clause in the same sentence. So of the 74% you mention, 73% also could not afford a child. An inconvenient truth for you, conman.

Three-fourths of women cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner."

no, rickaroo, pt says "murder is murder," unless the fetus is aborted because the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape, then it's, well, it must be something else. Justifiable homicide?

toes, in response to your post at 1:40:
Albert Desalvo, David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, Richard Speck, Sandra Camille Bridewell, Kenneth Bianchi, Lawrence Bittaker, Joel Rifkin, and others.
All adopted. All murderers, many serial killers.
But I don't think that's a valid argument for choice, just as I don't think yours is a valid argument against choice.
Happy Birthday
junk trash said "Your link shows the $16/hr rate was stated in 1979 dollars which would relate to to over $51/hr. in 2013 dollars."
You damn right it did, because that's when they were being paid.
Let me explain so perhaps even you can understand. The workers were working in the year 1979. They were being paid about $16 per hour. They were being paid that amount in 1979. That's why I linked to the rate in 1979. Got it?
Happy Birthday
toes said "Google "Weirton Steel" yd and see for yourself what an out of control union does. They weren't happy with $40 an hour for 40 hour work week. The union there got everything they wanted. Then reality hit when they could no longer compete with foreign steel makers."
I remember reading about Weirton years ago when the bankruptcy was filed. The company had been failing in the 1980's, when the employees bought the company. The company was prosperous for awhile but eventually foundered in 2004.
Weirton did not fail because employees were making $40 per hour. Where did you get that figure?
In 1979, the average wage was about $16 per hour.
In 2003, the average wage was about $19 per hour.
Happy Birthday
toes said "Another reason why unions suck."'
Great to see you are looking out for the low-paid Black workers, toes.

Chocolate-Almond Wood-Grain Bark
Faux bois, a wood-grain pattern, is a beautiful way to showcase the two types of chocolate used in this bark.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: One 8-by-12-inch sheet
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2010
- 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup finely chopped toasted almonds
Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Spread white chocolate onto an 8-by-12-inch food-safe plastic wood-grain texture mat (chineseclayart.com) using a small offset spatula. Scrape off excess chocolate, using spatula, until the thinnest layer possible is left on mat. Transfer mat to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
Melt bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Mix in almonds. Spread mixture onto white chocolate in an even layer. Refrigerate
until firm, about 1 hour. Peel away mat.

Moonstar if you check the site under food decorations, you'll see that there is a food safe mat that makes a wood grain impression.Reply
moonstar 24 Nov, 2012
I would appreciate hearing from MS staff regarding mat for bark design as it is not food safe.Reply
kealoha2 22 Nov, 2012
What you can use are preprinted chocolate transfer sheets. There are hundreds of transfer designs to choose from. They're available from Amazon.com or other on-line sites such as Gobal Sugar Art, inkedibles and Shopzillas. They're easy to use and give chocolates a professional look.Reply
silverykay 21 Nov, 2012
The website for the texture mats doesn't seem to have food-safe plastic mats. In fact, here's what the product description states: "The Texture Mat is a patented clay tool for making textures on the surface of wet clay. The artist or student can use the textured clay to build many different forms. It is only for clay, not for Food."Reply
SarahInOregon 17 Nov, 2011
Has anyone tried this with a wood-grain tool instead of the mat? I wonder if it would work... ?Reply

Its with great sadness that we have to inform you of the recent passing of ex 3 Beat employee Andy Jarrod. Andy a keen cyclist was out last Saturday the 9th August riding when he was involved in an accident with a car. He was left with severe head injuries which eventually took his life.
Andy joined the 3 Beat team in 2000 with the launch of 3 Beat label Management that looked after labels from the likes of James Holden, Yousef, Kasey Taylor and Matthew Dekay. 3 Beat label Management was also the home of 3 Beat Digital the online download store. Andy was instrumental in the development of some of the industries greats.
Mark Betteridge of Change Underground has written a wonderful piece of how the industry remembers Andy.
We remember Andy as a funny, hard working, passionate and highly driven man with bags of knowledge. He left his mark on everyone he met.
Andy had recently become a father for the second time with twin girls. He also leaves a loving wife and a son. A fund raising charity has been set up in Andy's name for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust – a condition his son Oscar has. Please click here if you would like to contribute to this wonderful cause

"Everything for a Reason" is the brilliant new single from singer/songwriter and DnB producer TC – his first since singing to 3 Beat.
Zane Lowe gave the track it's world debut on his show on BBC Radio 1 last night, choosing it as his "Future Exclusive". You can listen back here.
"Everything For A Reason" is set for release in October but you can get it on iTunes pre-order now! Remixes come courtesy of TCTS, Ivy Lab and Silverback.
One of the most respected names in DnB, TC stepped into the mainstream spotlight in 2013 with "Get Down Low" – a festival anthem that was picked up by Skrillex's OWSLA label for release in December that year. Next came "Make U Bounce" a song TC wrote for DJ Fresh which featured Little Nikki and gave TC his first UK Top 10 hit.
He's remixed some of music's biggest stars including Rihanna, Example, Cee Lo Green, Tinie Tempah, Daft Punk, Duke Dumont, Julio Bashmore, Disclosure and Jess Glynne. He's collaborated with Sub-Focus and Pendulum and supported Zomboy on his US tour.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - A former manager/bookkeeper for Trinity Southern Foods has been accused of stealing nearly $100,000 from his employer.
Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator says 54-year-old Jeffery Norbury, of Bossier City, was arrested Monday by Louisiana Probation and Parole for violating conditions of parole. He was convicted in 1991 for stealing over $35,000 from the City of Shreveport, while employed as the payroll and benefits coordinator. He was also convicted in 1995 for theft from another Shreveport business.
Prator, in a news release Thursday, said Norbury was booked Wednesday with felony theft involving Trinity Southern Foods. He says investigators allege the theft occurred between Jan. 2, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2013.
Detective Bobby Herring examined point of sale records, bank deposits and accounting software to uncover the alleged theft of $97,655.

Stereotypes are often incorrect. When people hear I am from NYC, they say, "ooh- a lot of crime happens there" and "people there are unfriendly." According to the 2009 City Crime Rate Rankings, more crime happens in Austin than other cities while in NYC, there is less crime than the national average. People here in Austin are very unfriendly. It is rare that people will ask you about your life or be interested/friendly unless they want something from you (or they are trying to sell you something). The management of the first apartment complex I lived in is trying to extort money from me for rent that I've already paid. Tenants are not protected here in Texas like in other states. If I want to maintain my excellent credit, I have to pay to bring THEM to court even though my rent checks cleared several months ago and I followed the lease exactly. Burglars knocked down the front door of my friend's home about a month ago while I was in it! And the police officer who got back to me said it is "low priority" compared to rapes and murders. I don't have a problem with the summer heat like most do but air conditioners are high everywhere and utility costs are very high. Teachers' salaries barely reach above 40k, even if you have a Master's Degree and over ten years of experience. Substitute teaching pays $9 an hour, as do most part-time jobs, and work is hard to find. Everyone says "the market is saturated with teachers" and there has been a teacher hiring freeze because of the economy. Unless you work in technology and your job is secure, you will probably find this city to be expensive, overrated and snobby. I have met some very racist and sexist individuals as well. The parks are nice though.

re: Austin Very Unfriendly and Unjust - 2/23/2010 - 11/7/2013
"too cool for school", would definitely sum up my observation of what so many people i know, in Austin, seem to think of themselves. the natives, who've never lived anywhere else(at least, outside of the state of Texas), are like small-minded, settlers everywhere. it's like a tiny Texas "L.A." where everyone loves the smell of their own farts (referring to a 'South Park' episode). it is my least favorite city, in the U.S.
re: Austin Very Unfriendly and Unjust - 2/23/2010 - 4/21/2010
You are correct that stereotypes are incorrect, but I still beg to differ on some things you have said. It's not that people in NYC are unfriendly, it's that it is so fast paced that most people there do not take time to stop, breath, look around, and smile and say hello to the people walking past them. It's a different life style than Austin, or most of TX. However, IMHO because so many people from the north have moved to TX, it has changed what TX stood for. There are a lot of rude people, and they are not from here! I think you have a biased exaggeration in the area dealing with crime and your apartment. The teachers salaries vary depending on district. Do your research, TX has some of the highest paying teacher salaries. Most first year teachers start between $40 and $46 with a bachelors. BTW where in Austin did you live? Every PART of the city differs.
re: Austin Very Unfriendly and Unjust - 2/23/2010 - 8/16/2010
Good points Karen, especially about the unfriendly part and "It is rare that people will ask you about your life or be interested/friendly unless they want something from you." I've been here for over 10 years and I certainly miss the comraderie and friendliness of the people from the East. Each time I travel to California (Orange County, San Francisco) it's like turning on a light switch, people are genuinely friendly and want to get to know you. And I'm talking about California! Anyway, the vibe in Austin is definitely bizarre.
re: Austin Very Unfriendly and Unjust - 2/23/2010 - 2/21/2012
Brittany- I HAVE done the research. Starting salary is not the problem- you don't raise much higher if you have 1 year, 10 years 30 years experience or have a masters degree or not. Its not like the east coast where degree, experience and intellectualism has a greater value. Which might account for Texas' low high school graduation rate. And Austin 1st year teachers are definitely not making $46K. The salary is better in Westlake Hills- which is NOT Austin- and don't get me started with the people around there. NOT very nice people AT ALL as a culture, but I have met some very nice people who moved there from California. My experience with newbies in Austin is that they are generally more travelled and nicer than others. The rudeness I experience is with lots of natives. If you want to better Austin society in any way or try to talk about the problems, natives will often say, "go back to where you came from." Austinites are resistant to change and not at all friendly to transplants.
re: Austin Very Unfriendly and Unjust - 2/23/2010 - 9/21/2013
I agree! I've lived here 2 years, giving it a fair chance. I was born in TX, lived in Colorado for a few years (where everyone was SO friendly and happy), and came back and settled in Austin. I've never met more snobby, rude people in my life. My child has had the worst time, coming from an environment where everyone was friends with everyone else, only to find in Austin that even the kids are ultimate snobs and unbelievably cruel. The longer we stay (due to husband's job only), the more I can't believe a town so talked about as great is so disappointingly unfriendly. Natives and transplants alike pick up the "hip, cool, we are better than everyone else" vibe...VERY disappointed!
best city in the US - 9/25/2014
what a great city, it combines the diverse open minded culture, nature beauty and high tech that you find in places like the bay area along with the low regulations, low taxes and low government control that you find in texas. What a great city, keep Austin weird !!! [Comment on this Posting]
Austin is not where you want to be - 9/7/2014
I lived in the Austin area for 30 of the past 35 years. I left for good in June 2014. I will never return. I am writing this to warn anyone thinking about moving to Austin. Don't do it.
There's three reasons for not moving to Austin: population growth, traffic, and climate.
Population growth: In 1980, Austin was a sleepy little college town of about 300,000 people. It is now (2014) a metropolitan area of about 2 million, about to surpass the San Antonio area in population. Austin will continue growing because it's one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the U.S. People want to move to Austin because Austin has this image of being hip, hot, and happening. You sit in traffic on I-35 in Austin and Austin suddenly loses its appeal.
Traffic: Austin is about 20 years behind on building highways. Take a look at a map of Austin and San Antonio. Who has the better highway system? San Antonio, hands down. The traffic on Austin main thoroughfare, I-35, is woefully congested, even on the weekends. Other main roads like MoPac, highway 260, FM 2222, etc. have almost as bad traffic congestion during rush hours. Downtown Austin can be hard to navigate during certain hours of week days.
Weather: I remember back in the 80's and 90's Austin had somewhat cooler and wetter summers. The average number of days 100 or more is 12, but, in the last few years, the number of days 100 or more has significantly increased. There was a year, 2011 I think, where Austin had 67 days 100 or more. In August 2014, the number of days in that month alone 100 or more was 15. Also, Austin has been in a drought, along with most of the state, for the past four years. Lake Travis at one time was at 34% of its capacity recently. Winters are mild in Austin, but the summers are about six months along, with plenty of humidity.
Austin is not where you want to be.[Comment on this Posting]
Austin is no longer the place to be - Can't wait t - 8/24/2014
I moved here 20 years ago and everything that was a positive then, no longer exists. The cost of living is HIGH folks, don't believe the hype that no state income tax equates to a lower cost of living - not in Austin Texas! The property taxes are high, the home value assessments are high and the annual cap on those assessments is 10% - do the math! Wages here are low in the "right to work" state and most jobs are part time only with no benefits. School funding is low. Healthcare is high. All the funky and cool things and places that used to define Austin have moved out because of the high cost of living. That being said, corporate welfare here is king. All the things that we used to love to do here are no longer accessable due to the unbearable crowds and traffic. I saw on this website that Austin's average commute is 23 minutes - no way. I have one of the "better" commutes in Austin and it takes me an hour and half minimum to travel 15 miles to work. We are being surrounded by overpriced toll roads here in every direction, air pollution is now a problem, and crime is high with an apathetic and military type police department. I would never recommend Austin to anyone. It's over-hyped (thank you Governor Perry) and now depleted of everything that once made it a wonderful place to raise a family.[Comment on this Posting]
Why am I still living here? - 7/31/2014
I have lived in Austin for the past 6 years. I can't take it any more. Austin is the fastest growing city in the United States, it's exploding. It's the only major city that has no loop system, so you can imagine how horrid the traffic is here. And it's not even during rush hour, it's always backed up on I35 and Mopac both ways. Sometimes it takes an hour to drive 10 miles home from work. Second, the weather will make you absolutely miserable if you're sensitive to heat and humidity. The entire summer lasts about 6 months. Day after day Austin ranges from 97F to 100F in July and August. In 2011 we had 110F+ days. The City of Austin controls my apartment's thermostat, so they can shut off my AC during peak hours as they please. The humidity makes the heat stick around at night, and it's not unusual to take a walk at night in 90F temperatures. Imagine how uncomfortable it is to sleep here. Lastly, it is extremely expensive to live here. I'm paying $920 (rent only) for a small 1 bedroom apartment about 12 miles away from downtown. My rent increased 20% over last year. Yes, 20%. So now I have to ask myself, why am I paying so much to live in an overcrowded, uncomfortably hot, congested city?[Comment on this Posting]
Too many people - 7/19/2014
Ok I'm not sure which category fits this best. I love my city. Austin is my home, I've always lived in Austin. I'm a 5th gen. Austinite, 7th gen. Texan. I'm proud to have that title too as we are becoming harder hand harder to find. More and more people come each day to move here and suck us dry of our culture that we so proudly held. They come and only want the music. They come to see all these famous bands playing at our festivals and close to move in so they can here them more often. Well I have something to say, we have too many people in our small town now! It's not built to hold you and your 3 kids and dog, don't move here from California to see Muse and Red Hot Chili Peppers play at ACL. No! Go home. We have enough of a problem trying to stretch to fit everyone else. We're happy to share the music but go home afterword. Please. We don't need more of you. Or your unreasonable laws you want to add. Thank you -from an angry Austinite.[Comment on this Posting]
Austin is great.....Well, I can remember when it w - 7/7/2014
I have lived in Austin for around 10 years now. Everyday this city is changing and evolving into a metropolitan, corporate city. No more small town Austin! On average 50 people move here a day and we have NO public transportation apart from the awful metro buses that get stuck in traffic like the rest of us. I live two miles from my work and it takes me 45 minutes both ways (morning and evening) to get to and from. The lack of roads and alternate forms of transportation can really change your view of the city. If you plan on moving here, you MUST have a car. All of the artist, hippies, and bohemians are slowly being pushed out of the city because it is too damn expensive to live here! They are tearing down the eclectic Austin homes, shopping centers, etc. and building high rise condos. Austin was the place to be 10 years ago, now, I am looking for a new TOWN to move to. It is the best place to live in Texas hands down but just make sure you're a trust fund baby or fell into a large pile of money before moving here or else you will find yourself in financial trouble. Oh, and did I mention that a new law has passed with in the Real Estate market, any houses built after 2007 are only allowed to have families living in them. You may not have more than two unrelated people under one roof. There goes the only affordable way of living here...However, it is a beautiful city and I do love the vibe. Just beware of HOT Summers lasting 5 months, awful traffic, every event and restaurant is so crowded, high cost of living, lower paying jobs, and the development of high rise expensive condos.[Comment on this Posting]
Please Don't Move Here - 7/1/2014
Austin is being overrun with people. 100 people a day are moving here. Many upper class people are moving here and asking weekly "what are the best schools?" The question rings sour. With so many moving here there is almost no chance all of you can fit your kids in "the best schools". Your moving here is making our affordability go away. In one year the conversation about affordable housing changed from being about the poor or low income folks to the middle class and lower middle class not being able to afford Austin. Developers are building luxury apartments all down S. Lamar, a surprise attack. No moderate apartments appear to being built. Who is luring you to our city? Please Don't Move Here. Thank you.[Comment on this Posting]
Don't move here: A native Austinite's view - 6/26/2014
Austin: Live Music Capitol of the World! Amazing food, tons to do, drink yourself silly, swim to cool off, play in the park, great community. I know, I grew up in Travis Heights, and I love this city. I moved to Berlin for college, thought I was a ski bum in Colorado, but I came back to Austin. It's a great city.
But I'm fed up with it.
Affordability: Don't listen to stats about affordable housing for $200k, or rent at $600. It's not true. The people who live in neighborhoods where housing costs $200k are places you don't want to live. The people who live in those neighborhoods aren't there because they want to be, they are there because they can't afford anything else. These neighborhoods are generally run down, feature small, poorly built houses from the 1970s and 80s, and are not where people want to live.
I'm not just talking "I wish I could live in that super luxurious neighborhood," but just a standard home. Houses in any neighborhood where you can ride your bike or walk to shops will cost you $350k, and that's for a fixer upper, little rinky dink house.
Want a decent house with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a modern kitchen, and hardwood floors in a central neighborhood? Try $500k or more. Much more. This wasn't the case 10 years ago.
Now, people from Cali or NYC are going to say "THAT'S A BARGAIN!" Hold your horses. Unless you are a sought-after techie, or a business exec, or a doctor or lawyer, you will probably earn $35-$50k. Most people in their 20s to mid 30s earn $35-$43k. And that's with college degrees.
Think you can qualify for that $350k shack on the East Side making $40k? Think again. So now you're one of the many, many renters.
Apartments are at 98% occupancy in Austin. The rental market is fierce. If a listing goes on Craigslist, they will have 50 e-mails within a day or two. You can squeeze into a bedroom in a 3/1 house for $650 a month, but the house is going to be 1100 sq ft with few perks. Want a cool house in a hip neighborhood? $2500 month for a 3/1. Since you will probably take home $2500 a month--if you're working a decent job--you're pretty much out of luck.
Don't think you're going to make due without a car. Sure, you can live within biking distance of everything, but that means you have to pay high rent in a cool neighborhood. If you're within biking distance (roughly 5 miles in any direction from downtown), you will be in a posh neighborhood.
What people don't understand about Austin is its very unique geography. It's a city hemmed in by hills and highways, so you need to live within the "loop" in order to be anywhere desirable. Look at a map of Austin and you will see. 183 loops from the north around the east side of the city. Highway 71 to the south. Mopac (loop 1) to the west. All the cool stuff is within this perimeter. If you look on Craigslist or Trulia and see houses outside of this loop, you won't want to live there, trust me.
For every mile traveled in Austin, it's like traveling 4 or 5 miles in another city. If you see a house that's 10 miles away, plan on 30min to travel those 10 miles. I35 traffic is terrible. Mopac traffic is terrible. 71 and 183 traffic is terrible. The point is, unless you want to be a suburban commuter and spend 1.5 hours a day in traffic, you better live within the "loop."
The problem with Austin is that 10 years ago things were affordable. You could buy houses for $200k, you could rent nice apartments for $650 a month. No more. If you want your own 1 bed apartment, plan on $1000 a month. If you want a house, plan on $350k+.
Trust me, don't look at median home prices and assume Austin is cheap. It will be a struggle to afford a half way decent lifestyle unless you make $65k+.
Portland, OR is cheaper now, if that tells you anything.

Is Austin A Good Place To Live? - 5/1/2014
Austin is great. I've lived here for almost 14 years. Before that, I lived in Saratoga, CA ("Silicon Valley") for 13 years and I grew up in Plano, TX, just north of Dallas. So, I've lived a few places and been to a few more and I can tell you Austin is a good place. It's like living on the West Coast without the taxes, regulations and traffic (although, Austin does have traffic issues). There are many things to do here, especially if you enjoy the arts and outdoor activities. You can see live music all over town every night of the week and huge music festivals, like SXSW and ACL, annually. The outdoor activities are a big part of the city's vibe and the facilities are well-used and well-loved. How many places have, not one, but several, frisbee-golf courses? Hiking, biking, tennis, golf courses and running facilities are all over town. There is also a cool, laid-back feel to the place; people don't usually ask you what you do for a living within 2 minutes of meeting you and aren't always commenting about the cost of this or how much they paid for that. If you want that, move to Dallas. A guy I know moved down last year from Long Island. He wasn't sure he'd like it but now says he'll never leave. When it comes to real estate, Austin is the most expensive place in Texas on a per square foot basis, but compared to much of the rest of the US (like, say, CA) it's still cheap. Property taxes are around 2%, depending on where you live, but your cost basis is much lower and there are no state income taxes! Take that NY! It's hot here, don't let anyone tell you it's not. But, you adapt and the winters are nice. No 20 below down here. Generally speaking, the schools are good. Lots of good places to eat - we even have several great Indian food restaurants - and cool bars all over. All things considered, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Austin as a nice place to live.[Comment on this Posting]
Surprised by the negativity - 3/19/2014
I love my city. I'm from Maryland originally, but went to high school in Austin and have been here since then, except for a short reprieve in St.Louis. Austin is fantastic, and I'm surprised by all the negative comments about the city. However, I believe that, for the most part, the only people who really ever go on these sites and leave long comments are people who have something to complain about. Or like me, get upset when they read negative comments about a place they love. It's true. Austin is HOT...in the summer...in TEXAS. Texas is hot. It's a thing that is known. I can't stand the heat during the summer and I'm used to it. But that's why you go tubing, or kayaking, or stand up paddle boarding, or visit any of our amazing watering holes/springs. Someone wrote in their comments that there are not a lot of outdoor activities to do in Austin and I have to say, I absolutely don't agree. Any of the activities I mentioned above are easily accessible and relatively affordable. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, boating, zip lining, disc golf, organized sports, etc. If you want the cultural experience, you can go to the ballet, the symphony, the theatre (theatre is everywhere in Austin), find an art exhibit, go see a live show at our over 200 music venues, etc. It's true the traffic is bad but they are finally trying to do something about it. But its going to take some time of course. We have festivals and parades and celebrations throughout the year, quite a bit of night life, friendly people (and attractive people at that), great food, and an interesting character. With the influx of people coming in, the Austin culture is going to evolve a bit of course, but for the most part I think the heart and soul of Austin is here to stay. There is plenty of quirk left in this city, and honestly its not all that hard to find. Just because it doesn't slap you across the face on every street corner doesn't mean it isn't there. I think there is also a miscommunication between newbies and the crowd who has been here longer. Austin considers the greater Austin area part of the city too. If you are just looking at central, downtown Austin, then yes, more of the negative commentary would be understandable. But if you don't include the greater Austin area you miss wonderful true blue Austin features like, the hill country, the green belt, the fantastic school systems, the lake life, family friendly neighborhoods and parks, dazzling spas, great shopping, etc. Austin is a small city that is very spread out. We have a small downtown center, surrounded by less dense city 40 min in all directions. I think everyone who comes to Austin needs to make a friend who has been here a while and who loves their city. Then have that Austinite show them their fave spots. I think if you just go off the hype that is in the media right now, you will miss a lot of the wonderful things Austin has to offer. You also have to be willing to drop the hype and let Austin be what it actually is. [Comment on this Posting]
Thinking about moving to Austin from NJ..want some - 2/11/2014
I'm born and raised a jersey girl. I've always loved NJ but have increasingly become more and more discouraged. Between the insanely high property taxes and car insurance my husband and I pay, we feel like our family needs a change. We've heard that Texas is a great place to live, friendly people, good atmosphere, and an all around great place. So if anyone can give me an honest view of Austin or any other good place I'd appreciate it. Thanks :)[Comment on this Posting]

Austin Draught - 9/21/2013
The culture is great, but lately it has been too hot and too dry.[Comment on this Posting]
I think I'm Done With Austin...And Here's Why - 8/19/2013
We've lived in Austin for 16 years. It's been great, but these last few years have finally driven us over the edge. A couple things here:
First, Austin makes every list imaginable (which is surprising, quite honestly), the influx of people has been insane, and of course, our roads remain the same with no additional infrastructure built.
Second, summers SUCK!!! Summers last from early May well into October, and even last November it was still in the 90s. Ugh! It is loooong...way too long. I like heat, but I don't like it for six months straight.
Third: Parks and outdoor stuff is limited. We even have a boat on the lake, so we probably have a better set up than most people, but we find that there is very limited parks and really fun outdoor stuff to do.
Fourth: Austin is simply losing it's edgy charm, especially south Austin. It's quite sad really. When I would drive down south Lamar, you'd find all these funky places and shops, and now they're just overrun with newly built condos. It's so commercial and blah! There's even a condo next to The Broken Spoke! Blasphemy, I say!
Fifth: We don't have children, but wow if I did I'd probably homeschool them. Public education is joke; there's no way in hell I would send my children to these schools.
Sixth: Very expensive. If you want to live in Austin city limits, good luck. First off, there is a very limited supply of houses, and second, they are expensive, especially if you look at what you're paying per square feet. Your utilities will cost a fortune because of the non-stop summer. Our average water bill is well over $200 (thanks to NO rain and water restrictions, kiss your yard goodbye). I have many friends who's electric bill will run them over $500 throughout the summer. This is not a mansion, just a normal 2,000 square foot house.
Seventh: No rain! The climate is changing, this will be your next Arizona. The last few summers have been incredibly dry (brush fires everywhere two years ago). No rain, means no lake, no grass, a dry wasteland and a very expensive water bill if you have a yard or pool. Be prepared...the dessert is coming.
My last point: This is not a place for families, it just isn't. My husband and I moved here when we were in our early 20s and it was perfect for us. Fun stuff to do downtown, city life, festivals, etc., but now, it's just congested, annoying, hot and boring.
Well, that's all I can say. We're looking for jobs elsewhere this year, and hope to be moved by next summer. Wish us luck! And all you newcomers, I'll have a house for sale.[Comment on this Posting]

Looking for a city that has less heat[Comment on this Posting]
Austin Review - 8/5/2013
Wow, a lot of negative reviews on here about Austin. Thought I'd add my .02.
Climate - It is hot, this is why we plan our outdoor activities in the early monring and early evenings. That said, even in midday heat, it's still possible to enjoy outdoor stuff. Drink water, wear sunblock and dress appropriately. This is in opposition to the mild winters we have, typically 40s in the coldest month and more like 50s - 60s through most of the winter.
Culture - I've seen comments on how Austin doesn't compare to NY, LA or San Francisco. Well... yeah, we're a small city. But Austin does have enough culture to get you by until you visit those places. There's a well respected ballet and symphony, museums (art and historical, which do contain exhibits on Native Americans contrary to one posters assertion) and tons of other fun things to do (for a city of this size).
Traffic - There is a lot of traffic on I35. There is a fair amount on Mopac. If you know how to get around you can avoid trouble areas. I have been to Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles. On our worst day we're not in the same ballpark, same league, same sport as the congestion in these areas. Our public bus system is lackluster. The metrorail has limited stops. But they do function and I'm not unimpressed completly with both and expect improvements in the future.
Housing - Some posters have mentioned how expensive it is, but it is similar to all cities; it's more expensive closer to downtown. $150,000 can get you a 700 sq ft apartment 15 or so blocks north of downtown, it can get you a 1400 sq ft house 15 miles north of downtown, or a 2000+ sq ft house 30 miles north of downtown. Seem pretty reasonable to me.
Standard of Living - Almost all people I know here are not having any trouble making ends meet.
Taxes - Tax rate for Travis County is about 2.5%. Sales tax is 8.25%. No state income tax.
Water - This is going to be Austin's biggest hurdle. As we have increased population, coupled with droughts lasting years, we are going to have to get much better about water conservation.
Schools - I'll speak to the two high schools I have knowledge of. Westwood and Anderson. One is ranked 45th in the country and the other is like 150th, both have IB programs. Some homes in these areas are very expensive. Some are reasonably priced, like in the $150K range. Apartments are available in both areas.
Austin is a great town, if you come here work hard and make good financial decisions, it is as good as any other town. I've enjoyed Austin and have no plans to move. [Comment on this Posting]

Austin, TX - 8/3/2013
Austin is the best place to live in Texas![Comment on this Posting]
The truth about Austin, TX - 7/26/2013
Austin and it's surrounding suburbs have the highest cost of living of any area in Texas. I really don't know how students even afford to go to college here. They must have 3-6 roomates to afford the rent the greedy real estate owners charge in this area. There is no State income tax, but Texas gets you in other ways with it's high property taxes; high sales tax; high fuel tax; high tobacco tax and high alcohol tax. People in Austin and the surrounding areas complain about the very rude drivers here and say it's "all the Californians moving in". Nope, nearly all the rude drivers here are, yes, from Texas & mostly from along the coast. Also, Texans are busy bodies and LOVE to sue each other. It's probably the reason it's EXTREMELY hard to ever get to know your neighbors here. They don't trust anyone! If you are thinking of moving to Austin or it's surrounding area, don't plan on getting to know your neighbors. Drivers here LOVE to drive in packs, as if any sane person wants to be surrounded by a bunch of nutcases who have total disregard for their own safety. Also, no matter what you hear, Austin IS NOT the live music capital of the world, no way, no how. In fact, good music here is RARE. If you want to see the music capital of the world, go to downtown Nashville, TN. Also, expect literally 5 straight months of summer, with daily temperatures over 97 degrees and lows in July & August of around 80, with relative humidities averaging around 65% (this is high & very deadly). Every come to Austin, just stop and take a slow, close look around at the people. They are some of the most physically unattractive people I've ever seen in the United States. Salaries & wages here are pathetically low in comparison to the cost of living. I hate to say it, but if you are hell bent on moving to Texas and want to save for retirement by making a good salary and not having to fight a high cost of living, try the Houston area. I thought I'd never recommend that place! [Comment on this Posting]

I am currenly setting up a standalone LAN for 15 users.
When trying to open the 'Openfire Server' program on my Application Server, I keep receiving the below error messages in the Openfire window:
Database setup or configuration error, please verify your database settings and check the logs/error .log file for detailed error messages
Each time I have used this program in the past it has worked fine so I have no clue what could be causing this error to appear.
I have tried to read the
openfire_log.ldf file on my SQL server but i don't know how to view this type of file.
I am also recieving pop-ups on my SQL server saying that I have low disk space on my DATA partitions, could this be a possible cause to my Openfire fault?

The Vic is one of the best music venues in Stroud. The Little Vic next door caters for the under 25s so you get a good mixture of all ages in the main bar. They put on plenty of live music, with cover bands on Friday and Saturday nights… (cont'd) H Box from Stroud
