Here's a peek at recently unveiled plans for the first phase of Austin Community College Round Rock campus. This phase will include five buildings with over 250,000 sq. ft that will accommodate 5,000 students. Three more buildings could be added later, bringing the capacity to 11,500 students - making it the largest of all ACC campus branches
Groundbreaking of the $119 million project will take place spring 2009, and classes are scheduled to begin in fall 2010. Located on 62 acres of land south of University Blvd, the campus will offer a 10-mile walking area within the campus, with vehicle traffic and the parking spaces shifted outside the area.

The ACC campus will be next to planned residential single-family and mixed-used residential developments to the west.

If your feeling inspired to learn how to skateboard or already a skateboard junkie, you might want to check out the newest skateboard park in Round Rock, Texas. Opened in July 2007, the 14,000 sq.ft skatepark features a sculpted concrete bowl and numerous street elements, including ledges, rails and platforms.
It looks like an empty pool from the top but you really need to stand at the bottom of the ten-foot bowl to appreciate it for what it is.
At a cost of $390,000, the park was designed and built by Gridline Skate park Construction, a national leader in skateboard parks.
The skatepark has areas for riders of all skill levels and can accommodate several people at one time. An area is built on the side for people to watch the skaters inside the park.

If you've walked through a labyrinth laid out on the floor or ground in a church, public park, hospital, school, retreat center or even progressive businesses, you've joined millions of people who've discovered this wonderful tool for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation.
Labyrinths date back at least 3500, and it is only since the early 1990‘s that they have undergone a dramatic revival into non-religious settings springing up all over the world in diverse places such as Central Park in New York City, Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and the Riverfront Walkway in Naperville, Illinois to name a few. They are made out of all kinds of materials - snow, sand, chalk, fragrant flowers, woodchips, tiles, stones, some are mowed into fields, some are planted from seeds, some are painted on canvas.
The picture I of took of this Labyrinth is located in Pflugerville, Texas along an area of the Pflugerville hiking trails next to First Presbyterian Church at Pecan Street. It is made from stone blocks in gravel meandering around four trees.
What is a Labyrinth and Why Do People Walk It? A labyrinth is not a maze, but rather a walking meditation devise with a single path leading to and from the center. The general idea is to quiet your mind, and use the walking inwards toward the middle to think about releasing and letting go of things that are in the way of your health, progress, success, etc. Then when you reach the center, you meditate and pray and stay as long as you want, absorbing energy and gathering strength and peace. Then you take the same path out, becoming empowered to make changes. You start to have a sense of growth as you come to a labyrinth with different issues, different things you walk in and out with, over time. More and more people are walking labyrinths today in search of inner peace and healing.
Here's an interesting website on The Labyrinth.

I think Karen was an excellent choice for selling my property. I live in Washington DC area and I needed good communication and help with tasks that I could not complete. Karen was terrific on both counts. I highly recommend her.
Don Solberg - Chevy Chase, MD.
We both were brokers in California and owned our own compaines. I had a commercial real estate firm and my wife, Elinor, owned a residential real estate company with 3 partners and over 100 agents. We were extremely impressed with how Karen handled the sale of our 5 properties in Austin. In fact, we were overwhelmed by the professional way she handled every aspect of the listing and sale of each property.
Gil Meacham - Carlsbad, CA.
Karen was extremely patient and willing to help us in any way necessary. We really enjoyed working with her and hope to do so in the future. Paul & Carol Nelson - Austin

Karen, you are the greatest realtor of all! Gerri Gayner ~ Gayner Property Mgmt, Austin
This is the third property Karen has sold for us. Mary and I have owned 15 properties and agree that Karen is at the top of the list of all the Realtors we have worked with. Karen's attention to detail and persistence along with her knowledge of the market made these sales possible. We felt that Karen was always accessible and kept us informed regularly. We have other properties in Austin which, if we sell, we will use Karen as our agent. She is are real asset to your organization. James & Mary Macaire ~ San Francisco, CA.

Karen is the best real estate agent I ever worked with. Paul Zauner ~ Carmel, IN.
This was a difficult sale. The buyer was "unpredictable". Karen stayed on top of it, regardless of time of day, gave us good advice, and made it happen. We very much appreciate her efforts, and will recommend her to others. Burney Stinson ~ Austin
We interviewed two realtors for sell our home. Karen was one. She estimated a sales price $7000 higher than the other realtor. The rest is history. Karen is an angel and we loved working with her.
