Challenge us! Archadeck of Austin designs a permeable patio to complete the perfect combination outdoor space
Present us with a design challenge, and we will show you a big ol' knock-your-socks-off solution. Archadeck of Austin was thrilled to work with this Northwest Austin homeowner to design and build a spectacular outdoor living space, a combination screened room, patio and deck with an outdoor kitchen. One of the things that is so special about this project is its unique patio with a hot tub and a dramatic fire wall.
What could be so unique about a patio? Well, that brings us to the challenge presented by this homeowner. We were asked to design a patio that incorporates the proper drainage for water runoff so moisture will be retained and released properly into the natural aquifers in and around the Austin area. A permeable patio, that is. Jim Schallon, Archadeck's lead designer on this project, managed to meet the technical requirements while creating a beautiful and relaxing oasis for the homeowner, family and friends.
The home had an existing wood deck in good shape and just the right size for an outdoor kitchen. By power-washing the deck and restaining it, we were able to restore the wood's beauty and establish this area as the centerpiece of the project. On one side of the deck, we added a spacious screened room with a new roof cover that we tied into the existing slope system of the house. On the other side of the deck, we added the patio with hot tub and fire wall.
We placed the outdoor kitchen on the deck by building a wall, counter height, with Concrete Masonry Units (CMU, also called concrete blocks) and finishing it with a facing of beautiful ledgestone. All of the outdoor kitchens designed and built by Archadeck of Austin are built with masonry-cinder block construction. Other builders may use wood for the kitchen structure, since it will be covered with a stone facing and no one will see it. However, our sturdy outdoor kitchen construction won't deteriorate or degrade over time; it's permanent.
The 1" hand-installed ledgestone facing helps provide a solid support structure for the kitchen counter and appliances. The homeowner chose brown Lueders stone for the countertops, and we used matching brown Lueders cap to top off all of the walls. A dense limestone known for its durability and low maintenance requirements, Lueders stone is perfect for kitchen countertops.
This kitchen's built-in grill alone will command your attention! It's a Memphis wood-pellet BBQ system with Wi-Fi capabilities. The homeowner can monitor and adjust the temperature of the grill from anywhere; the grill can even send an alert to his smartphone if needed. In addition to the Memphis Wood Fire Grill, the new outdoor kitchen includes a refrigerator, drawers, storage and trash receptacle.
With plenty of space on the deck for a dining table and chairs, meals will go from grill to table in an instant. If (or when) insects are a problem, the new adjacent screened room offers a pest-free dining area as well.
This screened room boasts a rich Synergy Wood ceiling with ceiling fansto keep the air moving. A large flat-screen TV is mounted on a stacked stone wall built just for that purpose; we used the same ledgestone here that we used for walls in the kitchen and patio areas. Of course, we built in electricity to power the TV, fans, lamps and the homeowner's outdoor heater to take the chill off in winter. The floor of the screened room is a textured stamped concrete that will stand up to many years of constant use.
And now for the patio, which had to be permeable. For the base of the patio, we layered gravel and soil. The patio surface is a repeating pattern of large pavers and smooth stones. Together these components allow water to flow naturally through the patio surface while providing a smooth texture on which to walk. Specifically, the patio pavers are 2×2 sawn cream Lueders stone, beautiful and durable.
The spaces between the pavers are filled with smooth Mexican Beach pebbles. Not only is the smoothness easy on bare feet but also the river rock feels cool to the touch as it retains the natural temperature of the ground at all times.
Prominent on the patio is the hot tub, and next to that we built a gas-burning fire wall, which might just be the fire feature of your outdoor living dreams. It is a ledgestone wall lined with fire brick and filled with lava rock. Hidden there are 60 and 72-inch stainless steel linear T-burners.
When lit, flames seem to dance along the top of the wall. The height of the fire wall is about even with the surface of the hot tub, so, as you can imagine, occupants of the hot tub will become a captive audience for this magical feature at night.

Archadeck of Austin showcases its award-winning deck design in Round Rock, Texas
You want the very best builder for your Austin-area outdoor living project. You also want a builder who will work with you, no matter how long it takes, to design and build the deck, porch or patio that is perfect for your home. Want more? How about a national award-winning deck designer and builder right here in Austin, TX?
Archadeck of Austin answers "Yes!" to all of the above. We are very proud to have received Archadeck Outdoor Living's national Design Excellence Award in the deck category. We are also very proud of the award-winning project we designed and built – a unique deck, pergola and outdoor kitchen combination in the Forest Creek neighborhood of Round Rock, TX. Take a look at these photos and a 3-D rendering, and let us tell you why we're so pleased with this special outdoor living space. The homeowners are pleased, too!
The winning project, completed in January, is an exquisite AZEK PVC deck with stone skirting, outdoor kitchen and oversized, freestanding pergola. The 12-foot kitchen counter accommodates a built-in propane grill, Big Green Egg smoker, in-counter cooler and built-in trash container. The deck also features flush-mounted low-voltage lighting.
The clients first contacted us for this project three years ago. They had a well-lived deck, and we agreed it was past time to replace it. Our initial design featured a concrete patio, roof extension and pergola. The homeowners took their time making a decision while they considered several builders and designs. Later we circled back to propose an alternate design, a deck with an outdoor kitchen and a large, non-conventional pergola that covered the entire deck. Bingo! Archadeck of Austin had the right design at the right time.
Despite this being a relatively low-risk deck, we faced several design challenges. First, the pergola took considerable thought because we wanted to use as few posts as possible. Fewer posts in the traffic areas allow maximum usable space for furniture without crowding. Then, cedar spans would not work with conventional dimensions, so we upsized all the structural elements and used a polycarbonate cover over the pergola to get the shade required.
The home had an original concrete patio off the back door for which we ripped framing boards for the structure. There was just enough space to get adequate framing down between the deck board and the patio.
Next, we had to completely close off the under-deck space because the clients had previous issues with animals nesting under the old deck. By surrounding the new deck with a stone skirt over concrete footings – nothing will get under this deck. However, the stone skirt itself presented two complications. The stone had to be ground flat to allow for the deck boards to die seamlessly into the stone and not look jagged. And we had to complete all the electrical wiring before we could install the decking.
Finally, the kitchen and the stone column bases also had to be constructed prior to the decking. All have concrete footings, so staging of construction was interesting.
The results are beautiful. The homeowners chose Azek Harvest cellular PVC decking in the new Autumn Chestnut color, and we laid the boards diagonally with a parting board for visual interest. The stone used for the deck skirting and the pergola's column bases is white limestone, and the caps on the column bases are brown Lueders limestone. The same brown Lueders stone tops the 12-foot kitchen counters, tying it all together visually as one great outdoor room. Finishing off the space are three Aurora Phoenix flush-mount low-voltage sconce lights, the Pyxis Recessed Louvered Step Light and the Mercer transformer/timer. Archadeck of Austin installed electrical connections for two fans, three lights and six outlets for the homeowners' convenience.
To be recognized for this project by Archadeck Outdoor Living at the national level as an award-winning deck builder means a great deal to the Archadeck of Austin team. The project was very well thought through, and we had a lot of fun building it. The structure itself was not complicated, but we packed in a lot of design considerations and features to make it a wonderful place for entertaining family and guests. We were able to integrate the new structure seamlessly with the existing home, which is what the homeowners were looking for all along.

Let Archadeck of Austin Show You How Amazing an Outdoor Kitchen Can Be!
Just when you thought Austin, TX, outdoor kitchens couldn't get any better! Nothing is more perfect than having a grand vision for your outdoor living space and seeing it brought to life by the skilled hands of Archadeck of Austin. Specifically, we are talking about a full outdoor kitchen, adjacent covered porch and spacious patio in Hudson Bend. When you look at the "Before" and "After" pictures of this project, you may be stunned by the visual impact of this transformation, but you won't be surprised if you already know us by our reputation as the premier Austin, TX, outdoor kitchen builder. Let the photos tell the story!
The homeowners wanted an outdoor kitchen complete with "the works": oversized grill, warming drawer, refrigerator, ice bin, storage area, stone countertops, bar seating and more. They wanted to entertain and relax at the same time without running inside for anything. They wanted a covered porch protected from the sun when it was too hot, protection from rain showers, an open patio where they could soak up the sun's gentle warmth on cooler, sunny days, and a heat source to take the chill off of winter evenings.
When selecting materials for this new outdoor living combination, the homeowners were guided by the home's neutral stone façade. For the base of the outdoor kitchen, they chose a Ledgestone block system with a dry-stacked look in a mix of silver, white and nicotine colors. For the countertops, they went with a smooth, chocolate Leuders limestone, which will become even more beautiful with age.
With their materials selected, construction could begin — or, destruction. The old flagstone patio had to be demolished and removed. The new concrete slab we poured for their patio also serves as the base for the outdoor kitchen and covered porch area. For added beauty, we stained the concrete surface to match the hues of the various stone elements we would be using.
The covered porch design called for the richness of a sturdy cedar pergola to complement the stone structures. We installed a polygal cover atop the pergola to increase shade and to provide protection from rain.
Installation of the oversized grill presented a challenge, but Archadeck of Austin rose to meet it. While most outdoor kitchen grills are a standard 24″ deep, this grill sits 27″ deep into the stone countertop, so the kitchen had to be planned and measured meticulously. We even hand-chiseled the backsplash of the kitchen counter to ensure the cover (lid) of the grill would operate with ease. And so it does!
These Hudson Bend homeowners have a flair for décor, and it shows in their flawless integration of sconces and pendant lights as graceful accents against the stone and cedar backdrop. Archadeck of Austin installed their selected lighting. Finally, they wanted an immediate heat source, so they have placed infrared heaters in the kitchen and porch areas. This will increase the versatility of their beautiful outdoor kitchen/covered porch/open patio combination space for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining.
Outdoor kitchen. Check. Covered porch. Check. Patio. Check. Enjoy!

Imagine the room right outside your back door.
Have you ever looked at your home and wished you could purchase adjoining acreage just to add on a playroom, living room other space to your existing home? Why not think about your ideal living space in a broader sense. The fact is there is a plethora of living enjoyment area right outside your back door that can be utilized more efficiently than an interior addition.
Living space doesn't necessarily have to mean "interior" living space. There are a multitude of outdoor living structures that lend themselves to dining, entertaining, relaxing, and play. Today's outdoor structure designs can be outfitted with all the same amenities an interior addition to your home can offer, and in some cases even more. Here are some ideas that will inspire you…
The covered patio or porch
Covered patios keep you cool on hot days, and offer protection from the elements as well. They can be constructed from a vast array of materials such as wood, brick, stone and other hardscape material. Covered patios can be attached to your home or your deck, or can even be used as a freestanding structure within the landscape. Covered patios can also be situated beside your pool for a cabana style covered patio. Covered patios can be wired to accommodate ceilings fans, sound systems, computers, telephone, and even flat screen TV's. Patio covers can include built-in fireplaces and even contain fully functional outdoor kitchens with all the fixings. These include refrigeration, sinks, food preparation areas, warming drawers, microwave, smokers, and grills. You name it, we can include it into the design of your patio cover. If you are looking for the perfect place to watch the game, and prepare a feast for your guests all while watching the kids play, the covered patio is an all-around best outdoor structure. An outdoor living room with mother nature as the backdrop.
The screen porch
The screened porch is another way to utilize all the amenities of an outdoor living room, minus the insects. Here in Texas, the warm temperatures will give you the benefit of year-round enjoyment of your screen porch. We also refer to these as sun porches and they make a perfect spot to relax and rewind. The beauty of a screened porch is that you get the pleasure of the outdoors without actually being outdoors. A screen porch offers an extension of outdoor as well as indoor living space.
Multi-structure outdoors living areas
We are starting to see a trend in multi-structure outdoor living areas. These are outdoor living areas that contain the works. These can include open patios, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and decks all in one. This offers homeowners the ultimate in luxury and convenience, not to mention adding to your home's value. Our multi-structure designs are planned to compliment each structure as it flows together. Instead of getting an outdoor room, you are actually getting an outdoor paradise where each outdoor room or area caters to a specific function but also harmonizes with the other elements within the entire design. Imagine having an area right outside your back door where you can dine, cook, read a book, roast marshmallows, listen to the crackle of the fire on those cool Texas nights, entertain, or just enjoy the fresh air.

Archadeck of Austin reaps multiple design awards at annual event
Each year a nationwide group of Archadeck offices come together to share their best practices, ideas, new products and to review outstanding leadership in design. This year, like others, the locally owned and operated Austin location performed very well. We are very proud to have scooped up on four of twelve design awards, plus a distinguished Customer Satisfaction Award which reconfirmed Austin's place as the 2nd best producing Archadeck location in North America.
Archadeck of Austin prides itself in being "all about design and customer experience". Here are some of the 'Best of Show'.
Austin won second place for this project outside the Craig O's restaurant in Lakeway, TX. This deck uses TimberTech Earthwoods Evolutions composite decking in walnut designed in quadrants of diagonal board placement converging to the center. The deck is designed for 100 lb/sf commercial loads and has a massive concrete footing hidden behind an attractive cedar skirt. A powder coated Fortress railing system surrounds the deck and is capped in the same composite. Stairs descend down to the parking lot and play area. Patrons will enjoy many meals overlooking the serene hills East of Lakeway atop this deck.
If you are curious, the following deck from outside Boston won 1st place…
Porch Enclosures
First place went to our friends at Archadeck of Ft. Worth for a fabulous pool-side cabana. The Austin entry took third place, under some tight competition, with our pool-side cabana constructed in Round Rock, TX. Both of these projects are indicative of a growing trend to move the living room outside complete with integrated kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, television; everything you need to entertain outdoors.
Demonstrating the diversity of Archadeck's designs, the Austin hardscape project took the 3rd place award vs. a really unique and innovative project outside Denver that took home 1st place. The Austin hardscape project is located in the Steiner Ranch community of Austin and includes a covered tile patio up top for visiting, lunch or even coffee. The project includes stone steps that lead down to a stained concrete lower patio perfect for every facet of entertaining. The project also includes integrated lighting so it looks spectacular day and night.
Combination Award
This new award category reflects the fact that great projects are rarely one-dimensional. Every year the very best projects combine multiple elements into a cohesive design that may include a shade structure, decking. masonry, and other elements to provide the homeowners with a complete backyard with multiple uses and gain the maximum added value to their home. We are excited that our project constructed in Riverplace took the spotlight for #1. The project was designed by our own Mark Mommsen, whom was also the winner of #1 design representative. The project brings together a very unique stand-alone roof structure with Permacast columns which are mounted on an elevated Tigerwood deck beside the pool and outdoor fireplace with stone benches on the opposite side of the pool. All this is designed to face the canyon/green belt and golf course located behind the residence.
If the customer isn't happy, nobody's happy!
As the owner of Archadeck of Austin, I'm very pleased to say we won the coveted Customer Satisfaction Award. To win this award there can be no, and I mean 'zero' negative responses in post-construction surveys. Last year we built 133 residential projects. We are not perfect and are always improving, but to have absolutely no negative responses is a testament to our desire for excellence in customer service. We were also recently added to the Angie's List Honor Roll and we strongly encourage people to submit reviews to Angie's list.
We are looking forward to a great 2012 season, with more great work in Austin,TX. If you're on the fence, the time is really good to remodel your outdoor space the way you've always wanted. It is a great investment.

This Austin patio cover features a custom stone outdoor fireplace and much more to soothe your senses, and your soul
Having an outdoor structure that functions as an outdoor living and gathering area opens up a whole new world of lifestyle possibilities. Being able to extend entertaining space from the interior of your home outdoors not only makes things run a little bit smoother when entertaining family and friends. It can also become a place that offers intimacy and refuge from a hard day. That is exactly the type of structure Archadeck of Austin built for these Austin, TX homeowners. This design incorporates a stunning covered patio which also contain an outdoor fireplace, a custom stone outdoor kitchen, stone benches and a stone surround that runs the entire perimeter of the structure that also serves as a hardscaped flower bed.
The covered patio was designed in the spot where we removed an old sunroom. After removing the sunroom we extended the roof to accommodate the new covered patio. The patio floor is finished with stain and seal concrete to compliment the gorgeous custom stonework that was used throughout the entire structure. Some of the key areas where we used Leuders stone include the outdoor kitchen, the flower bed surround, the stone benches as well as the bench toppers and of course the mesmerizing multi-tiered outdoor fireplace. Within the interior of the patio cover we used a tongue and groove cedar ceiling to add some rustic flair to compliment the natural characteristics that are evident in the usage of the stone and concrete. We also stripped and stained the homeowners existing deck in order to match the hues found within the covered patio. The use of colors, textures and design lines throughout the patio make it truly breathtaking. The talented homeowners also finished the interior of the patio in expert style, with well-appointed patio furnishings and well blended accessories that tie the whole project together perfectly.
The focal point within the porch cover is undoubtedly the elegant multi tiered custom stone fireplace. The homeowners took a unique approach to the popular practice of utilizing a TV above an outdoor fireplace. Many homeowners opt to construct a recessed perimeter to house their TV, such as a flat screen, for permanent placement. These Austin, TX homeowners did not wish to keep their TV above the outdoor fireplace permanently, so we designed the fireplace using multi-tiered custom stone ledges with a customized pull out shelf on the fireplace's mantle that is outfitted with a cable and electrical outlets. This shelf makes it easy to place the TV on the outdoor fireplace whenever they wish, and when the TV is not in use, the shelf can be pushed in and hidden and no one is none the wiser. This feature is an example of this structural convenience that is built into every inch of this outdoor structure. Archadeck of Austin also made certain to add plenty of outlets into the columns used on the patio cover, to add more convenience as well.
The expert stone work on this structure was achieved using select Antique Leuder's stone, which is an upgrade from limestone. The use of this stone can be seen in the bench toppers, the outdoor kitchen, the stone benches under the roof cover and many other areas throughout this outdoor oasis. To create an essence of ambiance, Archadeck of Austin made sure to include outdoor lighting throughout the patio cover. The creative placement of a large amount of low voltage lighting around the entire perimeter adds to the "feel" of relaxation and refuge. Low voltage lighting was placed strategically within the stone benches, surrounding the open area we built to showcase a water feature, and we added recessed LED lights in the existing decks as well.
These Austin, TX homeowners are now sittin' pretty in this breathtaking covered patio, that is full of amenities to refresh their senses and their soul. A multi-functional outdoor structure design such as this could not be accomplished without having a project manager to contact at any time which always plays a positive role in seeing a structure to fruition. Our expert project managers are a big bonus for going with us. To learn more about our stunning outdoor living designs, contact Archadeck of Austin today.

Being fluent in "roof-speak" will allow you to talk knowledgeably to contractors and builders when it's time to re-roof or remodel your home.
Here, we've highlighted 16 must know elements.
1. SHINGLES The topcoat of a roof. Asphalt shingles (three-tab or architectural style) are the most common roof shingles installed today, but wood shingles and shakes, metal and tile are also popular.
2. VENT PIPE A plastic or cast-iron pipe that's connected to the home's plumbing system. It pokes through the roof and admits fresh air into the plumbing system, which helps sinks, tubs and toilets to drain quickly and efficiently.
3. CHIMNEY A noncombustible structure, usually made of brick or stone, that rises above the roofline to exhaust smoke and fumes. Chimneys are often positioned alongside the roof, but they can also protrude up through the ridge or roof slope.
4. CHIMNEY CAP A metal or stone top placed above the chimney flue to keep out rain and snow.
5. FLUE The interior of every chimney is lined with a flue, which safely carries smoke and fumes from fireplaces, furnaces and other fuel-burning appliances. The flue is typically made of square or rectangular sections of clay pipe, called flue tiles.
6. RIDGE The peak at the highest point of a sloped roof. Often has a vent running along its length to allow hot air out of the attic.
7. HIP ROOF A distinctive roof design that has four roof planes and no A-framed gable end walls (as shown). Two planes, typically at the ends of the house, slant down from the ridge to the tops of the end walls.
8. HIP RIDGE The angled peak between two adjoining sections of a hip roof.
9. GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS Channels attached to the fascia to carry away rain.
10. FASCIA A horizontal board fastened to the lower ends of roof rafters. Rain gutters are usually attached to them.
11. DRIP EDGE Metal flashing that's placed along the edges of the roof to divert rain away from the house and into the gutter.
12. RAKE A piece of exterior trim that runs at an angle from the peak of a gable-end wall down to the eaves. (It's often made from a 154 or 156, and is positioned just below the roof shingles.)
13. GABLE The A-framed sidewall of a home that forms the peaked roof.
14. GABLE-END VENT Located high on a gable-end wall, this vent admits fresh air into the attic to help keep the attic cool.
15. SOFFIT The underside of the eaves that projects over the exterior wall. Often fitted with vents to admit fresh air into the attic.
16. EAVES The lower edge of the roof that extends out beyond the exterior walls.

- Council still not ready for tethering ban
- Mumpower pitches his own solution to water stalemate
Going into the Asheville City Council's May 26 meeting, the big question was what sort of reception Council would give the long-awaited Downtown Master Plan. The team from consulting firm Goody Clancy had presented its work to Council members on May 12, but public comment and Council discussion were put off until the next meeting.
Now the item was back on the agenda in the form of a public hearing, but it wasn't clear whether Council would deliberate it. And if they did take action, they faced a range of options: adopting the plan outright, accepting it for later consideration, breaking the weighty document into pieces, or even sending it back for more work. In the end, Council members went with adopting it "in concept," indicating their desire to move the plan forward while recognizing that city staff would now face the extensive task of fitting its ideas into the Unified Development Ordinance (which will require further Council decisions) and addressing the more controversial plan components.
"I think staff has a lot of work ahead of them," said Vice Mayor Jan Davis. "There are substantial portions of this plan that will require legislation."
But one group, at least, has most of its work behind it at this point. Over the past two years, the Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee worked alongside the consultants at the Boston-based Goody Clancy (mostly via telephone conference) to ensure that the plan addressed the concerns of city residents and other stakeholders, and committee members accounted for the majority of the 20 or so people who spoke at the meeting.
A running theme was that the 30-member committee's unanimous support for the plan in fact represented a fragile "treaty" between opposing sides of the development coin.
"The need for a master plan comes from all sides," said committee member Jesse Plaster, pointing out that the group's often polarized factions represented conflicting viewpoints in the city's continuing development debate. "No single party got exactly what they wanted. Our feeling is that if anyone did, it would be a skewed plan."
The upcoming presentation to Council had been a concern at recent Advisory Committee meetings, with some emphasizing the need to show Council members and the general public that the plan has unanimous support.
Committee member Pat Whalen (who recently stepped down as chair of the city's Downtown Commission) said the master plan will go a long way toward fixing an approval process for downtown development that all parties have characterized as confusing. "Sitting on the Downtown Commission, I saw a development process that was, depending on your perspective … badly broken," he noted. The attention previous City Councils paid to downtown, said Whalen, was geared more toward reviving and restoring the comatose central business district of the 1980s and early '90s rather than the new construction so prevalent these days.
But several committee members exposed the frailty of that united front, taking the opportunity to express their continued reservations about the plan.
Attorney Albert Sneed decried the level of restriction it would impose. "I urge you to have some humility and restraint," he said. "You may come up with a plan that makes it impossible to use downtown."
And former Asheville Mayor Lou Bissette, who's also an attorney, said the plan's design guidelines create a labyrinth of rules that, when he tried to apply them to a downtown lot he and several partners own, made it "a mind-boggling task to determine what, if anything, can be built there."
Jenny Bowen (who, earlier in the evening, had been unanimously appointed to the city's Public Art Board) also served on the Master Plan Advisory Committee. Noting that committee members had very mixed attendance records and levels of involvement (but refusing to name names), she asserted that the final product allows too few opportunities for public notification and input during the approval process for proposed developments.
"This is an error, it is a tweak, it is something I am absolutely asking Council to look at and to take into high consideration as the plan is moved forward," Bowen urged.
Activist Steve Rasmussen, meanwhile, warned that giving Council-appointed commissions more power to approve development without incorporating an adequate appeals process undercuts city residents' ability to contest decisions they think are wrong.
"Some claim that these changes are intended to take the politics out of the process," said Rasmussen. "But the reality is that politics will always play a role in decisions in which millions of dollars and the quality of our lives are at stake."
City staffer Sasha Vrtunski, who served as project manager in developing the plan, reminded Council members that it's intended as a framework to be built upon and that their acceptance of it would not, in itself, implement any new laws. She also emphasized that they would be adopting only the broad-brush plan, not the more detailed and specific appendix, about which much noise has been made.
"You are not painting yourself or the community in a corner," she declared.
And though some Council members had closely followed the plan's development, this was the first time they spoke about it in the Council chamber.
"I believe we've come up with a plan that is a good place to land," said Council member Robin Cape, "and we owe it to our community to adopt [it]."
Council member Kelly Miller agreed, saying the plan would make the development process more "predictable and actionable."
Council member Carl Mumpower, on the other hand, branded the document an "ill-advised, expensive indulgence by the city" that would actually increase the political tension surrounding development. As for empowering the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Downtown Commission to approve proposed development, Mumpower said he's "uncomfortable with the idea that we use an appointed body to basically do our job."
Council member Brownie Newman, meanwhile, took a cue from the Advisory Committee, saying, "The whole downtown 'treaty' thing is hysterical; I think we should seriously consider calling it that." The concept of compromise, he continued, gets to the heart of why the plan was envisioned in the first place. As for worries about tightening the screws on downtown developers, Newman observed, "There is such a thing as overregulation that hurts development, but I don't think this is it."
And looking ahead, Mayor Terry Bellamy said she'd like city staff to develop a detailed process for implementing the Downtown Master Plan.
After that, City Council adopted the plan "in concept" on a 5-2 vote, with Mumpower and Council member Bill Russell opposed.
Planning and Development Director Judy Daniel said staff would immediately start working on the requisite changes to the UDO but would most likely seek Council's guidance on some of the plan's stickier elements.
All tied up
Back in April, Council members amended the city's animal ordinance to ease restrictions on raising chickens, but they voiced doubts about a proposed prohibition on tethering dogs (see "Chicken Coop for the Soul," May 6 Xpress). And it appears that recent weeks haven't done much to alleviate those concerns.
The current law allows dogs to be tethered provided that the leash is at least 15 feet long and the dog has access to food, water and shelter. Animal activists, particularly the group ChainFree Asheville, are pushing for an outright ban on the practice. But despite a staff report outlining potential methods and concerns about implementing such a ban, Council members found themselves no closer to pulling the trigger than they were in April.
"I am not ready to say 'no unattended tethering,'" Newman revealed. "I'm not prepared to take that step." Many people, he said, can't afford to fence their yards, and he wanted to explore the possibility of establishing a fund of donated money to offset those costs before outlawing tethering.
Assistant City Attorney Curt Euler cautioned that offering assistance only to the financially needy could invite lawsuits.
Newman also asked about the ability to grandfather current dog owners and apply the ban only to newly acquired dogs, which police Chief Bill Hogan said could be accomplished using registration records. But enforcing a tethering ban, Hogan warned, would require hiring another animal-control officer, which might not be possible under the current tight budget.
Bellamy, meanwhile, said she wouldn't support the ban, especially since it would include the T-runners used in many Asheville yards. Eliminating all those forms of restraint, she predicted, would lead to more loose dogs, which would conflict with the city's leash law.
"There needs to be some sort of tethering in the yard to protect the greater neighborhood," Bellamy maintained.
In the end, Council members once again sent the issue back to staff for possible inclusion in the budget for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Mumpower pitches water plan
The last time a compromise on Asheville's water problems came up, Mumpower stalked out of the room. This time, he stood at the lectern.
In April, Mumpower had vigorously opposed a proposal by Newman that Asheville accept an appeals court ruling forbidding the city to charge differential water rates but asking state legislators for a limited ability to use access to the water system as an annexation tool. Before leaving the room that day, Mumpower called the proposal a "surrender document."
This time, however, he came forward with his own idea, though it didn't generate much enthusiasm on Council. Mumpower proposed separating Asheville's reservoirs from the delivery system. An independent authority would oversee the system, but the city would retain ownership of the actual water, which it could then sell to the authority.
Bellamy, who pushed for the multimillion-dollar repair of the city's water lines that's now under way, was immediately resistant, arguing, "It would be a disservice to give that over to a group who can do whatever they want."
Vice Mayor Jan Davis also took a dim view of the idea, noting that the decades-long deferral of basic maintenance happened while the system was being overseen by a water authority. "I have a long way to go to get where you are," said Davis.
Newman, meanwhile, said he didn't think the plan was "politically viable." He also pointed out that even if other cities were represented on the proposed authority, it wouldn't alter their desire for cheap water.
Mumpower persisted, trying to drum up enough support from others on Council to request more information from the city attorney's office, but not enough of his colleagues were interested enough to advance the idea.

Today's recipe is for Allison, who requested a good lemon muffin recipe. I tend to flit from muffin recipe to muffin recipe and still don't have a favorite, but this one was very good. My only complaint is it's a bit rich. It doesn't taste bad – exactly the opposite, but it's got a full stick (4 oz) butter to 1 cup flour, which is proportionately high. Still, people like moist muffins and if you have a friend who likes things rich and moist, these are perfect. I also think this recipe might work well for mini-muffins, which can be dry if not made with plenty of butter.
Rich Lemon Muffins
1 cup all purpose flour (140 grams)
1 teaspoon baking powder (5 ml)
1/4 teaspoon salt (1.25 ml) – if using salted butter, use 1/8 tsp.
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (114 grams)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (90 grams)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla (1.25 ml)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (15 ml)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (45 ml)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Spray 6 to 8 muffin cups with flour-added cooking spray or grease well.
Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and beat in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds after each egg. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add flour mixture and stir just until it is mixed in.
Spoon batter into muffin tins, dividing evenly (it should come almost to the top). If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar (see note at bottom)
Bake for 15 minutes. Cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then flip from pan.
I used 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon cinnamon, but didn't use all of it.

The Settle to Carlisle Line is one of Britain's most scenic and historic rail trips. And to think, Britain almost lost it -- and I almost missed it.
Great railway journeys are usually taken by people who are keen railway enthusiasts or who plan a vacation specifically to enjoy a particular famous railway.
I'm not one of these people. I take trains because, in the UK, they are often the most practical way to get from point A to point B.
I also hate having to change trains mid journey. So when I discovered that, because of what the British call "planned engineering works" on the fast West Coast Line, I had to take an alternative route from Carlisle to London one Sunday, I was not happy about it. The journey meant a change at Leeds. It was also going to take twice as long because of lots of local stops. I buried my nose in a magazine and prepared for a long, boring trip.
Discovering a Great Railway Journey
The train climbed out of Carlisle. About 40 minutes later, we were traveling through some of the most beautiful and lonely country I had ever seen in the UK. In March, the great high, gently rolling pastures were wintry pale and sere. There was not an animal in sight. The tracks seemed to snake along a high valley with mountains rising on either side.
For several miles we crossed countryside marked and divided by stone fences. No houses, no trees. Just small fields, separated by dry stone walls, their kinks and curves defining centuries of divided inheritances and local property claims.
That's when I noticed people with binoculars and knapsacks, hiking boots and travel guides all around me. The couple across the aisle were studying maps and brochures. I asked if they knew where we were and learned the story of the Settle to Carlisle Railway, one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World.

A Journey Between Dales and Fells
The Settle to Carlisle line follows natural paths high up on the Pennine Way. When it was built, in the mid 1870s, it was planned to carry passengers up to Scotland by a fast route. Because of this, it is usually several miles from the villages named on its stations. Dent Station is four miles away from and 600 feet above its village. Kirkby Stephen station is 1.5 miles away from the market town of the same name.
The effect, as the line wends its way between the North Yorkshire Dales to the east and the Lakeland Fells to the west, is of traveling through completely abandoned country, bleak, alien, monochromatic and strangely beautiful.
By the time the line reaches the Ribblehead viaduct, near the end of an hour and forty minute short but magical trip from Carlisle, it is in the midst of the Three Peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. The Three Peaks Walk, a difficult but popular 25 mile hike, visits the summits of three distinctive hills, all over 2,000 feet - Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.
From the train, as we chug across the Ribblehead Viaduct, we can see groups of walkers and cyclists who will board the train at Ribble Station, waving at us. Today, this stunning railway line serves locals and visitors to the Yorkshire Dales and runs virtually round the clock. But that was not always the case.
Saving the Settle to Carlisle Line
From the 1960s to the 1980s, Britain's railroads went through a pretty rocky period. As the nationally owned railroads were sold off, various government bureaucrats believed the maxim "less is more" and many of the country's smaller and more remote railway lines were closed. The Settle to Carlisle line survived an effort to close it in the 1960s and came very close to closure in the 1980s. At least 32,000 people objected.
The line was finally saved from the ax in 1989. Today it is operated by Northern Railways and has become so popular that capacity has been doubled. It runs virtually round the clock. This great railway line is supported by a group of voluntary organizations, known collectively as the Settle-Carlisle Partnership, who have been responsible for restoring the line's distinctive, award winning Victorian stations.
Next: The Story of Ruswarp, A Faithful Dog
Man's Best Friend - The Story of Ruswarp, a Faithful Dog
When the Settle to Carlisle Railway, faced closure in the 1980s, it was said that the campaign to save it was waged by 32,000 people and one dog (a fare paying passenger too). Ruswarp (pronounced "Russup"), a Border Collie was the inseparable companion of Graham Nuttall, one of the leaders of the campaign. Ruswarp's paw print was the only canine "signature" on the petition.
In 1990, about a year after the line was saved, Nuttall,41, and Ruswarp, 14, disappeared while walking in the Welsh hills. Nuttall's body was found near a stream, eleven winter weeks later. Beside him, still guarding his master, was Ruswarp. The dog was so weak he had to be carried off the mountain.
Ruswarp was cared for by a local vet. He was awarded the RSPCA's Animal Medallion and collar for vigilance and its Animal Plaque for intelligence and courage. He lived only long enough to attend his master's funeral. According to an eyewitness, reported in the Westmoreland Gazette, Ruswarp sat quietly through the ceremony, only letting out a mournful howl as the coffin disappeared behind a curtain.
In 2009, a life-sized statue of Ruswarp was placed at Garsdale Station, the highest station on the Settle-Carlisle Railway and said to be Nuttall's and Ruswarp's favorite spot. The dog looks across the tracks to an empty bench on the opposite platform, dedicated to Nuttall.

text: A beefsteak cut from the boneless top blade roast in the top blade section of the chuck primal. The top blade steak is basically a smaller cut from the top blade roast and is also known as the "Flatiron" steak. The name, Flatiron steak, comes from its appearance after the top blade roast is cut horizontally into two pieces, resulting in shapes that resemble an old flat iron. A top blade steak is best prepared by braising the meat, which provides a very tender piece of meat. It is also excellent when it is grilled or broiled, especially if the meat is marinated first. If this cut is to be used in stews, realize that a piece of gristle runs the length of the steak, which is difficult to remove with several cuts. Therefore, it may be easier to cut the steak into 1 inch strips, cutting across the gristle. Then slice the gristle out of the strip as the cubes of meat are cut into stew sized pieces. Other names for the flatiron or top blade steak include top boneless chuck steak, petite steak, lifter steak, book steak, and butler steak.

I was very proud of the Independent Screening Panel I helped organize to evaluate the qualifications of the Democratic candidates for judge in the Sixth Municipal Court District.
The panel put out its report, including the names of the "most highly qualified" candidates for the Democratic nomination, in the evening on May 1st. The recommended candidates were:
- Darlene Bruce, esq.
- Nicholas Moyne, esq.
- Shah Ally, esq.
Mr. Ally was also reported out as "most highly qualified" by the New York County Democratic Party Independent Screening Panel, and I was happy to lend him my support for the county endorsement. Ms. Bruce has since declined to run and endorsed Mr. Moyne, so it is likely Mr. Moyne will run unopposed for the nomination in the 6th MCD and Mr. Ally for the nomination county-wide.
All three are stellar jurists and I'm confident each will be an amazing candidate and judge.

Gout is a form of arthritis that affects mostly your toes, but on the rare occasion, this abnormality might manifest itself in the fingers. This can be a little more bothersome as it can affect your productivity, and while gout in the feet can affect your mobility, much of work done in our day involves the hands, so this can turn out to be a little more severe in that respect.
Gout develops slowly over a period of time in a way that is difficult to detect. Uric acid is a substance that is supposed to help process purines and is eventually regulated by the kidneys. Certain factors, such as too much alcohol intake or high purine based foods, causes the body to produce a higher amount of uric acid than usual and the kidneys are unable to deal with this overload.
In some cases, gout can develop simply as a result of kidneys failing to function properly, meaning that even normal amounts of uric acid are not processed properly. The acid then finds itself wandering aimlessly in a person's bloodstream, and senses the potential damage that it can cause to the vital organs, the human body's defense systems kick in and a process called crystallization takes place.
Gout in the fingers
Uric acid crystals can form on any joint in the body, though the toes are the most common. If these crystals form in the fingers, this could either be simply an extremely rare instance of gout or it could be indicative of the underlying issue with gout having been around for a while.
It is more likely than not that a person who suffers from gout in the fingers has probably gone through an acute attack somewhere in the toes. Gout will manifest in the knuckles in most cases of gout in the hands, though other joints such as the wrists are vulnerable too, and it will look much like what you see with gout in the toes.
Inflammation, caused by the crystals forming in the joint, will cause as much stiffness and pain as they would anywhere else. The joint will be stiff, so any use of the hands will be completely nullified; meaning that one's ability to be productive is also jeopardized. The visibility of all this will be a large, hot swelling at the joint.
For those who have already suffered a gout attack, even if it manifested itself in the toes, the likelihood of getting gout in the fingers increases. This is because the recurring of a gout attack might mean that it has gone from being acute to chronic, and the problem is more widespread.
Gout usually occurs in older people, ranging from ages 35 and above, and the oldest of this group being those most likely to get gout in the hands, mostly because the condition is chronic by this point in time. Other developments such as kidney stones sometimes arise at the same time as the advent of a gout attack in the fingers.
It is recommended that medical assistance be sought out immediately. Medicine that helps reduce the inflammation and balance PH levels in the blood is prescribed with considerations to any other medical conditions you may have.
There are a number of things that can be done from home to also reduce inflammation and ease the pain, such as wrapping ice around the swollen joint for periods of 20-30 minutes, several times a day.
Mixing baking soda and apple cider are two very popular home remedies that have been proven to counter the problem internally, as well as the consumption of fruits high in vitamin C, and keeping hydrated in general.
The best treatment, if it can be helped, is prevention, and if the gout attack is still acute, certain changes in one's diet can and should be made that will help keep the body alkaline and prevent the buildup of uric acid in the blood. Keeping check of your uric acid levels is a sure way to keep the issue in check and prevent it from aggravating any further that it already has.
Gout can affect any joint on the arms or legs, and though it is rare, the joints on the fingers are just as susceptible as any other. If you are one such person, careful management of the problem can help you overcome the difficulties and stay as productive as possible. Check out The Gout Code to know how to handle gout attacks and prevent them happening again.

Written by Suman Bhattarai
After completion of my bachelor degree from Tribhuvan University in Nepal I decided to continue master degree in Abroad. I had no any idea about any universities like; how to find university, how to contact them, how to apply for course. In my point of view, it was a challenge for me. Desire is nothing if you have no ability to do it, but that desire is weapon to win if have courage.
To find university I get nice website "study portal", and than I started search for suitable university for me. I make limited criteria like; minimum and maximum tuition fees, language of study, desired countries and desired course course.
After several days I made list of university based on country which was suitable in manner of fees, city and country. I visited their university official website and get knowledge and ideas to apply for coming session. I got response from most of them. After long process I had few list of university where I was accepted than I choose one of the best among them, it was Blaise Pascal University in France. University demands original documents or notary verified documents before issuing the final acceptance letter so I did verified my documents from campus France office and sent to the address of university. After all process I paid fees for one year, I transferred fund bank through bank.
Getting admission in university is not final steps for most students we need visa to get there. Getting appointment for visa interview is sometimes hard. And for some nationalities; they don't have embassy in their own country so they have to go neighbour country. In Nepal there are very embassy from Europe, students have to go India to submit visa application and for visa interview which is costly and time consuming. But it was easy for me because we don't need to go India to apply for France. I applied for visa and wait for response. I went back to my home town. In 20th day I get call from agency that my passport is arrived in Kathmandu. I was quite nervous and called to my brother to get my passport and I ask him to open envelop and see pages of passport. Than he said there is visa of France. I was so happy that my dream comes true. After all, I get ticket for Paris and I was in Paris on 1st of Feb 2015. New country, new language, new environment it was totally different than my country. First time I saw snowfall, I was alone but too much happy to be there.
University was so beautiful, teaching methodology was advance sometimes that need more efforts to adapt that atmosphere. I fully concentrate on study and focused on future. I'd less homesickness maybe because I lived in Kathmandu for five years. When I finished my study there I moved to Paris for further study.
I stayed three years in France and than I decided to study one more master degree in accounting and finance. And I again started to searching new university in Europe. I found this university and I applied, I accepted. This time it was easy for me because I don't need to apply visa and do anything.
I am really happy to be a part of this university. This is the great opportunity for me.

In this video you will learn about what is SharePoint.
Or listen what is SharePoint on Soundcloud.
Below are the complete list of videos on SharePoint Fundamentals
Short On Time? Download This Video
Click the button here and tell me where to email you:
In this course, we are going to learn various fundamentals of SharePoint. Before we learn various fundamentals, let's learn about SharePoint.
What is SharePoint? SharePoint is used to build intranets or in general does websites that you could use within your organization or even sometimes the public facing sites. And within that, you can organize the documents that will be uploaded by the users where users can store the documents as well. And once you have a lot of content... So you have one of the main features of SharePoint is search, so using search you can discover the information that is being stored by the users or added by users. Then you'll need to control all these things by managing the information, so you will have administrators for each site, collection sites, that you are going to build. So we are going to discuss what is site collection, what is a site in future videos.
In one sentence, SharePoint is a platform where you can build websites. For various people SharePoint will be a different one. So for some of them it's just the collaboration platforms, for some of them it's used to store documents, for some of them it is just building workflows, but SharePoint will be helpful in many ways. That's why we call it as a platform; it's not just an application, and it can solve the wide variety of business problems for different operations. It's not just an application like Excel or Word, but you can use SharePoint to integrate with Outlook working with those Excel documents, PowerPoint, integration with project files, visio files. So all those things can be utilized within SharePoint. So if you look at this simple application or a website that has been built using SharePoint, so it's a simple site, so the SharePoint will be used to create this kind of websites. If you use other platforms or any other technology, if you want to build it, you are going to take a lot of time to make this, but if you use SharePoint you can just use one of the predefined templates that you could use to create the site, and these sites can build within few minutes. And to store, manage and organize those documents you have document libraries where you could store the documents.
Even you have something called list where you could store information, which is similar to your Excel file. We're going to talk about lists and libraries in the future lesson. And once you have all this information, after a month or so or even after a year, you want to find that information and make it easy for your users; that's where you use to search. It helps to discover the information that is being stored by users.
In a nutshell, SharePoint is a platform that can be used to build the websites where users can store the information, and manage that information and finally they can find the relevant information that they are looking.
Are you working on SharePoint, then what is SharePoint for you, its a collaboration platform or a web site to store information? Leave a comment below on how you are using SharePoint.

Today I had 3 magnolia blooms on one of my trees! They were to high in the tree to smell, but in the next week or so, we will smell that lovely fragrance! Day 120/365.
Today I had 3 magnolia blooms on one of my trees! They were to high in the tree to smell, but in the next week or so, we will smell that lovely fragrance! Day 120/365.
The last of my azaleas. It had just rained, and there are a few water drops on the blooms. Day 119/365.
Able to get a decent picture of some pretty clouds with my phone today! Day 118/365.
A small break in the shade from all the wrestling that is still going on daily! Sadie is on the left and Heidi is on the right. Day 117/365.
So the ants decided to rebuild their hill around the corner from where it was the other day. It wasn't there yesterday, so they've been working really hard. As I was trying to get a close up of the ants building their new home, the puppy saw the ants and started pawing at the hill and trying to eat them! I had to get them off her legs and get her away from there. So guess they will restart another hill, wonder where it will be this time? LOL! The builders are in the top pictures (you can see them in the middle of the picture with some dirt in their mouth), and the bottom picture is the ants scattered everywhere, though you can't see them very well (they are more toward the bottom left). Day 116/365.
My neighbor's Clematis is blooming! It always has beautiful blooms every year. I tried to put one at my mailbox, but when we moved in, a concrete truck backed into our mailbox and they filled the whole area with concrete, so now we only have grass around the mailbox. LOL! Day 115/365.
My first honeysuckle sighting! I love the smell of it. Day 114/365.
Saw this lone white flower when I was walking along looking for something to take a picture of! lol Day 113/365.
My first butterfly of the spring!! Day 112/365.
Found a dandelion that had not lost their seeds yet. I love the puffiness of it before it blows away. Day 111/365.

Does Retin-A Cause Skin Cancer?
Posted on: May 1, 2015
Are you looking for information on Melanoma or Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer's? We have extensive information on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer's.
Learn more about treatment options for Melanoma or Non-melanoma Skin Cancer.By Christine Chung, MD
I recently met a vibrant, athletic, well-dressed woman who had just turned 60 years old. Six months earlier, she had developed a red bump on her left forehead, just above her eyebrow, which was squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a type of skin cancer. She was treated with Mohs surgery, a procedure in which a dermatologist shaves off layers of skin to remove the cancer. Unfortunately, my patient's skin cancer kept recurring in that same area. After her third Mohs surgery, we treated her with radiation therapy to decrease the risk of cancer recurrence. After her last treatment, she wanted to know if she had done anything that had led to her skin cancer: "Dr. Chung, did I get my skin cancer because of all the Retin-A that I've used for my wrinkles?"
SCC of the skin is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed in the US, with over 700,000 new cases each year. It occurs most frequently on sun-exposed skin in fair-skinned individuals, though may also develop in people with darker skin. SCC of the skin is associated with exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun, and occurs more often in older people. Patients who have undergone organ transplantation and require chronic immunosuppression are also at greater risk of developing skin cancer. This type of cancer can take many forms, including flat red spots, painless bumps, or scaly patches on the skin. A doctor needs to biopsy the skin to confirm the diagnosis of cancer.
Over 90% of skin SCC are cured with local therapy alone, usually surgical excision like Mohs. An advantage of Mohs microsurgery is that the surgeon can look at the cells as they are being removed, to ensure that all of the cancer has been fully excised. Low-risk SCC may also be treated with freezing (cryotherapy), radiation therapy, or a topical cream. Some patients may need radiation after surgical excision, if the cancer cells have aggressive features, such as invasion into the local nerves, or if the cancer continues to return even after being surgically removed. Also, the surgeon may refer the patient for radiation if the tumor could not be fully excised.
To answer my patient's question: her skin cancer was most likely caused by her history of sun exposure, rather than the use of Retin-A cream. Retin-A contains retinoids, which are derivatives of Vitamin A often used in anti-aging creams to help promote skin renewal. In fact, retinoids that are taken orally can decrease the risk of SCC of the skin in certain high-risk populations. However, retinoids in topical form have not been shown to reduce skin cancer risk.
But remember that when you use Retin-A and other topical retinoids, your skin is more susceptible to ultraviolet light. If you use these products, take special care to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen.
Join Dr. Chung at the Many Faces of Skin Cancer on May 20th, 6:30-8:30pm at the Walnut Creek Library. This event will feature a panel of skin cancer medical experts who will discuss early detection, prevention, risk factors and latest treatment options. Dr. Chung is a Radiation Oncologist with Diablo Valley Oncology & Hematology Medical Group. She has expertise in treating all types of cancer with a special interest in treating skin and breast cancer. She sees patients in Pleasant Hill and Berkeley. For more information call: 925-677-5041.

Slideshow: How DNS cache poisoning works
Tips to thwart DNS cache-poisoning attacks
Tips to thwart DNS cache-poisoning attacks
Adds DNS, secure Web gateway to VNF roster, boost performance of existing offerings
There's a new species of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack targeting name servers, which could be called the "nonsense name" attack. It can wreak havoc on recursive and authoritative name servers alike, and some of our customers at Infoblox have fallen victim to it--but it's not always clear whether they were actually the targets.
This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
Two Australians will serve on the group overseeing the process that will result in an end to the US government's role in overseeing the Domain Name System (DNS).
The state of Victoria, iSelect, Open Universities Australia and Commonwealth Bank drew high slots in a lottery at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to determine the order in which ICANN will evaluate applications for new top-level domains.
Tips to thwart DNS cache-poisoning attacks
The dramatic increase in DNS and DDoS attacks in the past five years has resulted in loss of business revenue and brand equity for many companies. This infographic gives insights on the effects of these increasing attacks and looks at industries that are most commonly affected by these threats.

'Primroses are in bloom all over the garden and in the lanes around.' So writes the Gardening expert in our Saturday paper this week. Here at the Vicarage the primroses certainly arrived early, a foretaste of spring after a long, wet winter.
Some years ago the same 'Gardening expert' paid a surprise visit to the Vicarage garden where we were tenants. She had decided to take up a 'reader's question' we had submitted – 3 years before – which we had quite forgotten. I was away on a training course in Hampshire, so Diana had to field the visit, as the expert drove up from Dorset, following a phone call.
Now if this had been Rowley, we'd have had no need to write to a newspaper for advice. In our church are experts on vegetables, roses, lawns, composting. Even I have learned some skills that make a difference!
When I rang home, asking how the visit went, I was relieved, at least until I was told a photographer was coming later that week to take a family photograph in the garden. Sure enough, a week later, our garden – quite a lot of it bog and brambles featured in the Saturday edition.
"How about keeping hens," was one letter we received.
The visit and the article did have an effect. I hadn't actually met the 'Gardening Expert' first hand, but I sensed she could make a difference: –
First she had ideas. In her mind she could see what out garden could become if we drained it, reclaimed the borders from the brambles, and got on top of the vegetation. Her first effect on us then was a vision of what it might be.
Secondly, her gardening articles always include, 'This week's work'-(Jobs to be done). As I write, her advice, with the ground wet to sow anything outside, is to start off and nurture seedlings, such as broad beans, peas, salad crops and herbs.
Thirdly, she gave us the confidence to try new things in our garden; welcoming new trees and plants; clearing spaces, doing things differently (or in our case to stop neglecting them completely!)
As we draw near to Easter, the most important celebration of the Christian Year. I'm struck with the parallels of the Garden Expert and the Risen Christ. Many especially St Paul never actually met, Jesus in the flesh, like me and the garden expert, they heard second hand from others. But there was an effect:
The early Christian Family (probably few, and not wealthy and with little experience of travel, were given a Vision that was global.
"Go and make disciple of all nations, I am with you." Little did they guess that Christianity would spread as it did, and transform so many places, so many lives
Secondly, the Church at its best has seen the wisdom of preparing for the future. Nurturing the delicate seedlings of faith, of potential ministry, of leadership. (A very good local training scheme is the 3D Course – a year long, weekly group with the aim of helping people grow in faith.
Thirdly, we shouldn't be frightened. We have the promise of Jesus to be with us – we shouldn't be frightened of taking risks, and trying new ventures. Especially in our contacts with those under represented in church life; children, young adults, young families. At some point we need the confidence to trust those who might be God's new gifts to us, now and in the future.
For some, a garden can be a worry (and our churchyard has been for us in years past) Not everyone can give the time and attention to create a beautiful place, that especially in spring, lifts the heart.
God has entrusted us, has given Jesus for us. May Easter bring us vision, encourage us to nurture, and never to be afraid of allowing new things to flourish here at St Giles.
Let's get to work!

Invisalign offers a high-tech approach to straightening teeth using a series of custom-made aligners designed specifically for you. These aligner trays are crafted from smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that fits perfectly over your teeth. As you wear your aligners, your teeth gradually shift into place based on the exact movements your orthodontist specifies for you.
There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks until your treatment is complete. The end result is a beautifully straight smile to go alongside a newfound confidence at work and at play. The best part? No one will even know you're straightening your teeth!
Advantages of Invisalign
Invisalign provides a wide range of advantages over traditional braces. While the end results may appear the same — a confident, beautiful smile — when you stop and actually compare Invisalign® to other teeth straightening options, the advantages become quite apparent. Knowing the pros and cons of each option ahead of time will help you make a more confident decision.
- Effectively treats cases including crowding, spacing, crossbite and underbite.
- Straightens your teeth faster over a period of adjustment time.
- Child and adult treatment often covered by your insurance.
- Lets you enjoy virtually invisible teeth straightening.
- Allows you to brush and floss your teeth normally for better oral health.
- Frees up your busy schedule with less visits to the orthodontist's office.

Chase Taylor Hackett
Fletcher Andrews never believed in promises. Or monogamy. Or love. When you're tall and gorgeous, New York City is one big all-you-can-eat buffet of hot young actors, models, and baristas. Even when living happily with Roger, his sweet, sexy violinist boyfriend, Fletch can't resist an occasional taste. Too bad you don't know what you've got until it's thrown you out for cheating with half the cast of Disney on Ice.
Two years and a chance meeting later, Fletch desperately wants Roger back. Roger's new boyfriend, Jeff, will do anything to stop that from happening. But Fletch has a plan to make amends. And with a little help from friends, colleagues—even Roger's Scottish terrier, Haggis—they might find that the love you don't believe in can sweep you right off your feet . . .
Where Do I Start?
Not long ago, he woke up one morning with a couple characters in his head, who, try as he might to convince them, refused to become a musical comedy. He wondered if he could possibly work them up into a novel, but, never having tried to write one before, he didn't have a clue where to begin.
And thus: Where Do I Start?
His second novel is And the Next Thing You Know... That book is scheduled for release in February 2018.
He lives in upper Manhattan with his partner Travis, and a Scottish terrier named Watson.

EC discloses evidence for Intel's €1.06bn fine
The EC has detailed the evidence it used to base its decision to fine Intel a record €1.06bn fine, arguing that the vendor paid hidden rebates to manufacturers...
The EC has detailed the evidence it used to base its decision to fine Intel a record €1.06bn fine, arguing that the vendor paid hidden rebates to manufacturers and direct payments to cut AMD out of the market.
Intel has long argued that the EC has been selective with its evidence. The latest move to share more of the details of the investigation will re-ignite complaints CEO Paul Ottellini.
According to the EC, Intel made hidden rebates to Dell, Hewlett-Packard NEC and Lenovo on the condition they used Intel's x86s CPUs and direct payments were made to HP, Acer and Lenovo to stop or delay certain product launches.
According to the evidence released by the EC, Dell was given rebates for three years, from December 2002 to December 2005, for buying Intel CPUs. HP and NEC received rebates during nearly the same timeframe. Lenovo was paid rebates in 2007.
"The evidence gathered by the Commission led to the conclusion that Intel's conditional rebates and payments induced the loyalty of key OEMs they significantly diminished competitors' ability to compete on the merits of their x86 CPUs. Intel's anticompetitive conduct thereby resulted in a reduction of consumer choice and in lower incentives to innovate," stated the EC.
The Commission brushed aside the justification given by Intel for paying rebates.
The second major complaint was around the direct payments made to OEMs to postpone or cancel launches of AMD-based products.
Acer was paid to delay the launch of an AMD-based notebook from September 2003 to January 2004. HP received incentives to push back by six months the European launch of its AMD-based business PC. Lenovo was paid to put back notebooks using its rival's chips by six months, in 2006.
"The decision concludes that the Intel conducts directly harmed competition. A product which a supplier had been actively planning to release was delayed or constrained from reaching the market," added the EC in its evidence.
Intel has maintained a position of incredulity at the fine and argued that AMD is in a stronger position now than it was when the legal action started and competition is a feature of any market landscape.
