Tungsten Inert Gas welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. This is formally known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW. Easy enough, right? TIG welding is used in the industry for fine, exact welds on thinner metals. You are able to achieve the highest quality weld with TIG welding and of the entire arc welding methods; this is by far the most versatile. Another popular welding method is gas metal arc welds, or MIG welding. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages
Gas tungsten arc welding, GTAW, is slower than other welding techniques, as quality comes at the expense of time typically. With GTAW, you're able to create clean welds because of the superior arc and weld puddle control. You're also able to control the heat input on many GTAW welders so a premium weld bead control can be attained. When appearance matters, gas tungsten arc welding is the easy choice. For bike frames, automobiles, sculptures or linear bar grilles like we have at Coco Metals, GTAW is our number one choice.
The argon gas or argon/helium gas mixture commonly used in TIG welding creates much less smoke and fumes. Welders are left with high visibility of the working area and if working with clean, uncontaminated metal, visibility of the weld will be near perfect. Another benefit attributed to the GTAW process is that you can weld with or without filler unlike other types of welding, but if welding thicker metals, filler will need to be used to create a strong weld. The maneuverability of GTAW welding helps when working on flat, vertical and even overhead surfaces. Gas tungsten arc welding is ideal for roll cages and bike frames because of the welders unconstrained positioning. We use GTAW welding for its ability to create precise, intricate and gorgeous weld lines that are invisible to the customer or patron when our metal products are finished.
The other type of welding we'll be comparing is gas metal arc welding, commonly referred to as MIG welding. This method is used primarily on thicker metals and in applications where long weld lines are needed. MIG welding was developed in the 1940's and today, the principles are very much the same. An arc of electricity is used to create a short circuit between a continuously fed anode: the wire-fed welding gun, and a cathode: the metal being welded. MIG welding can be used on a larger selection of metals than TIG welding, but because of the heat produced cannot be used on anything but flat or horizontal surfaces.
At Coco Architectural Grilles and Metal Craft, we apply both welding methods when welding our pieces along with other methods. Because our work is very detail oriented, we most often use the gas tungsten arc welding to have a stronger, cleaner and more appealing finished product. Both of these ways of welding come with advantages and disadvantages but depending on the project at hand, we may use both.

I work at the Airport, and everyday it's busy and a constant struggle to keep up with the demands of work.
But there are some incidents which really stick in your mind, and the variety of experiences can sometimes be downright disorienting.
Let me relate two incidents which happened in recent memory:
- While walking along and performing my duties, I saw a young tourist boy startle and look around anxiously, as if he were looking for someone or something. Soon enough, his face broke into a wretched frown and a look of distress broke out on his face, he started crying. It was obvious he was lost and he frantically turned round and round looking for his lost parents, screaming for his father in Chinese.Several passersby turned their heads immediately, reacting to the child's cries. It didn't matter then that this boy was from a foreign land that was detested by many Singaporeans, or that many of the people standing around him were foreigners too. Many of them looked concerned, and so was I. I reached out to the boy and asked him where were his parents, but in his haste and frightened state of mind, he ran off in another direction looking for his parents.
I found the boy again when he was brought to the information counter by a middle-aged Singaporean "Auntie", who did an excellent job consoling the boy. Of course, at the reception desk, we did our best to find the boy's parents and they came running for him as soon as they could. They thanked us, but there was no need. All in a day's work.
- This other incident happened weeks ago when I encountered a raging airline passenger who insisted on hogging a ticket counter until his problem was resolved. His flight had been delayed and he was visibly upset, his face flooded with blood like he was a thermometer about to pop.Customer service reps from the airline and my team were trying hard to calm him down but he just kept mumbling, grumbling and pacing the counter, refusing to release the airline staff on duty until someone resolved his problem. Amidst the tense encounter, we were "treated" to a thorough display of racially abusive curses – I will not do the man any favours to repeat his racist pronouncements.
I won't name the nationality of the man because it will not do any good even if I did. All the more terrible is the fact that I share the same religion as this unfortunately rather nasty passenger.
These two incidents stick out in my mind these past few weeks as I thought about the difference between the local men and women who trained and fought hard for their medals at the Olympics and Paralympics.
In the case of the boy, he was a young child in distress. Everyone felt a sense of empathy in this case, in spite of race, language or any other barrier. In the unfortunate case of the racist passenger, my colleagues and I, and the Airline Staff, felt belittled and divided, treated as though we were somehow at fault for being of a different skin colour from one another.
Maybe that is the feeling and message we are sending across to our athletes as we cheer the local and deride the foreign-born talent in our teams.
I have but one small wish, if I may, and a prayer for my fellow Singaporeans – May we find it in us to accept others, regardless of their flaws and differences, and be inclusive in spite of our misgivings.

Low Value Framework Soft Market Testing
Tuesday 26th February 2019 Manchester Central Library
On Tuesday 26th February 2019, The North West Construction Hub (NWCH) held a soft market testing event for main contractor construction companies interested in becoming a part of the next incarnation of the Low Value Framework to attend. NWCH are looking at re-procuring the Low Value Framework (currently £500k – £2m) and interested parties were invited to attend a discussion on how to take the next generation of the Low Value Framework forward, making it future-proof and attractive to clients and contractors alike. The invitation was open to representatives of all main contractor construction companies who wanted to share their knowledge and experience and are considering bidding for the future Low Value framework and we were pleased to see many new and familiar faces on the day. The day was received positively and proved to be a refreshing and engaging session. All opinions were taken on board and will be used to help ensure the future of the Low Value Framework is as successful as can be. Thank you to all those who attended. The event also offered a community drop in session giving young people and local residents the opportunity to 'have a go' at traditional trade activities such as plastering, bricklaying, joinery and decorating, whilst having a glimpse into digital construction at the BIM stall and using VR headsets. STEM engagement activities such as snap circuits and engineering activities were also delivered to primary and secondary schools and Manchester City Council's Work and Skills Team supported the event by having stalls to promote an array of careers in construction. Personality quizzes were also conducted to help pupils see what construction roles best suited them. The day proved to be a huge success with some great feedback received from the schools who attended which will be taken into future events to ensure continuous improvement. To find out more about our 'Have a go' events, please contact the NWCH team.

The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, Frosty Farm, San Diego Bay Parade of Lights
Events December 12-December 18, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 8
In 1984, Tony Suraci was a 17-year-old Fallbrook High senior who sang in local bands and acted in school plays. He remembers the day he became part of a "sobriety cult."
"I had the lead in [the play] Blythe Spirit. I didn't make it to a Sadie Hawkins dance the night before a dress rehearsal, and I shared with the cast why me and my date didn't make it. We went out to party." Suraci mentioned to cast members that he had drank and smoked pot the night before. The cast told the drama teacher, and the drama teacher told Suraci's mother.
"They kicked me out of the play and hired a professional actor," says Suraci. "A week later I got a call from my mom. In a friendly tone she said, 'Let's go to lunch.' We ended up going down the 15 freeway. She said, 'I am taking you to some people who know more about you than I do.' "
Those "people" were associated with Freeway, a drug-abuse program founded in the early '80s by Bob Meehan, self-proclaimed "father of drug intervention." In 1979, a 60 Minutes exposé noted that "the [treatment] program's tools are peer pressure and peer support" and that "members are told to steer clear of nonmembers and to attend as many meetings as they can." In his interview, Meehan affirmed his "power to persuade." Last year in the Tucson Weekly, a former counselor described Meehan's control over clients and counselors as "blind and absolute." (Though Meehan has been linked to treatment centers in Arizona, he is reportedly no longer involved with any in California.)
Suraci says when he graduated from high school in 1985 he was hired by Meehan to work at a live-in facility in Escondido called SLIC (Sober Live-In Center) Ranch.
"At the meetings everyone hugs each other and says, 'I love you,' " says Suraci. "And everyone smokes.... When I worked for SLIC Ranch, I had to stay up all night and make sure they didn't practice any of the three F's: fighting, fixing [drug use], and you know what the other 'F' is. I also cleaned the ranch. I mopped the floors, washed dishes."
In 1986 Suraci moved to Dallas to work for a recovery group he says was affiliated with Meehan.
"I was paid, like, $250 a week" to drive, perform maintenance duties, and to be a weekend supervisor/counselor. "They called me a counselor, but I was unaccredited."
Suraci left Dallas in 1988 to tour with a band called Recovery.
"We toured Texas, playing for sober audiences. All our songs were about sobriety and recovery, but I was always loyal to the cult."
Suraci says he and Meehan parted company in 1997.
"If you don't act a certain way, they excommunicate you. I was told I was no longer needed."
Suraci says he is now dedicated to music. His second solo CD (available at www.tonysuraci.com) is titled My Only Faith. He plays covers with his band at casinos, nightspots, and private parties.
Meehan's 1984 book, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road: Our Children and Drugs, is still sold by Meek Publishers in Roswell, Georgia. A request to speak with Meehan was left with Meek, but Meehan did not respond.
Suraci and band appear at the Promenade Bar in the Pala Casino from October 18 through 21.

It has been a busy weekend with a holiday brunch at home, lot of baking and cooking. With the weather being very cloudy and gloomy, I couldn't get a chance to take photos of the food or even the cookies. I saved a few, hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow and I can take come decent photos.
Today's Cranberry-Pear cider recipe is from Vegetarian times magazine and I made it for the brunch yesterday. It is spiced with ginger & cinnamon and is served warm which is perfect for the chilly weather and also for the sniffles and coughs.
Recipe adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine:
Print Recipe
|Prep Time
|34 serving
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|20 minutes
Spiced Cranberry Pear Cider
- 2 cups Cranberries - , fresh or frozen
- 1 cup Pear Pear Juice or Cider
- ¼ cup Sugar - (adjust as per taste)
- 2 Cinnamon " Stick - long piece
- 2 ¼ Ginger " - slices, crushed
- Vanilla bean - ¼ bean , split
- 1 Pear - medium, peeled, cored and diced into small cubes (optional)
- Combine cranberries, ginger, cinnamon stick and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove ginger and cinnamon stick and set aside.
- Strain the cranberry mixture into another saucepan, pressing down on the solids to extract all liquid -- you should have about 2 cups of liquid.
- Return the reserved ginger and cinnamon stick to the cranberry juice. Add the pear juice/ cider, sugar and vanilla bean. This is a great time to check the taste and adjust the taste by adding more juice or sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the ginger and cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Add the diced pears (if using) and remove from heat. Serve warm.

Sharp design. Great Wi-Fi call quality. Syncs well with PCs.
Quiet speakerphone. Relatively short battery life. Truly awful Web browsing.
Bottom Line
The Nokia 6301 is your best bet for a voice phone on T-Mobile's HotSpot @Home Wi-Fi calling system. We only wish the Web experience were better.
The Nokia 6301 is T-Mobile's best Wi-Fi voice phone so far, and an elegant alternative to the Samsung Katalyst. While there are better overall voice phones on T-Mobile, none of them offer unlimited calling with perfect reception over Wi-Fiand that's a compelling deal.
Similar Products
The 6301 is a follow-up to, and looks a lot like, the Nokia 6300. It's slim, small, and unusually well built for a candy-bar phone. This is the best of Nokia's Northern European design aesthetic. The sleek stainless-steel handset features a big, glossy 2-inch, 320-by-240-pixel, 16.7-million-color screen. Below the screen, there's a tight, precise keypad of rectangular keys. One minor gripe: You have to take the back of the phone off to get to the memory card slot; however, it took our 8GB SanDisk card without a problem.
The flagship feature of the 6301 is HotSpot @Home ([email protected]), T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling system. [email protected] lets you use any Wi-Fi router as a cellular base station, making unlimited calls over Wi-Fi for $10 a month possible. The service works with any router, but it works best with T-Mobile's own routers. Calls on the 6301 over Wi-Fi sounded very sharp and clear. The phone had no problem picking up Wi-Fi connections from both a T-Mobile router and an Apple Airport Extreme, and it handed calls back and forth between Wi-Fi and cellular without dropping any.
As a general-use voice phone, the 6301 is good, but it's a little on the quiet side. Calls sound sharp, and there isn't much background noise in transmissions, but the earpiece doesn't dial up all that loud. Reception is fine, but the phone has one of the quietest speakerphones I've heard in the past several months. The 6301 uses Nokia's voice-dialing system, which can be frustratingly inaccurate: It understood only two out of five of the names I tried to dial. The 6301 worked with my mono Plantronics Voyager 520 and stereo Motorola S9 headsets, but not a stereo Plantronics Pulsar 590. Battery life was short for a 2G GSM phone, posting 6 hours 30 minutes of talk time.
Like many other Nokia phones, the 6301 includes plenty of thoughtful little touches, the most useful one being Nokia's PC Suite software, which works with Windows XP and Vista. It syncs your contacts and calendar free from Microsoft Outlook, music, and video via a mini-USB cable.
The included IM app logs you in to AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! but doesn't show your full AOL buddy listonly your "mobile" buddies. The e-mail client supports a set list of ISPs including AOL, EarthLink, Gmail, .Mac, and Yahoo!, but there's no option for Microsoft Live mail or generic POP/IMAP.
T-Mobile has killed off its WAP browser on the 6301, replacing it with a Java application that accesses only the carrier's own licensed Internet content. I discovered that you can get to some WAP sites, but the options are buried. And the phone, like all T-Mobile handsets, blocks all third-party Java applications, including Opera Mini. T-Mobile really doesn't want you to get on the Web with this phone, even via your own Wi-Fi network. And that's a pity because the 6301 had very good JBenchmark test scores, showing solid all-around Java application performance.
The 6301's media options are just okay. There's an FM radio, and the music player works well, supporting AAC, WMA, and MP3 files and syncing with Windows Media Player or Nokia's own software. The play is buried, however, under several levels of menus. Music functions are not as accessible as on some of Nokia's other music phones, like the 5310 XpressMusic. The 6301 couldn't handle any of our test videos. The 2-megapixel camera is mediocre; resolution was okay at 700 lines, but we got serious low-light blur and generally reddish, noisy pictures.
If you're looking for a phone to make Wi-Fi and cellular voice calls, the Nokia 6301 is a fine choice. But for an even better T-Mobile [email protected] experience, we'd recommend getting the BlackBerry Pearl 8120, which has a better camera and music player, and provides a far better Web experience.
Benchmark Test Results
Continuous talk time: 6 hours 29 minutes
JBenchmark Multimedia: 149
JBenchmark System: 82
JBenchmark Business: 122
JBenchmark 2D Gaming: 384

text: I'm looking at 2014 and 2015 Model S 85 CPO listings and the prices and milage are all over the place. Do 2014's really have a better reliability record than the 2015's, like Consumer Reports wrote? Can you tell something about when the car was produced during the model year from the serial number within the VIN? Do the serial numbers run continuously through the different model years? Some cars have milage in the teen thousands. Do people really trade in a car with such low milage just to get the AP 2.0, or could there be something else going on with those low milage cars? Have you all noticed that the CPO listings for 85D models show the milage range at 65 mph, rather than EPA as they do with the rear wheel 85's? It makes the difference 30 miles rather than what is probably around 10 miles if it were an apples to apples comparison.

Healthy and Strong:
Great Food Ideas for Growing Kids
Support healthy, strong growth with nutrient-packed meals designed to fuel your child's growing body. To provide all the nutrients needed for energy, development and growth, feed your child a balanced diet that focuses on whole foods such as fresh organic produce, dairy, lean meats and whole grains. Add a dash of fats for an energy-boost that helps enhance kids' ability to feel satisfied. Take a look at these foods for growing kids to create a menu that serves up everything they need to stay happy and healthy.
Protein acts like a building block that helps your child develop, maintain and repair muscle and body tissues, encouraging healthy, strong growth. Experts recommend that children eat two to three servings of protein-rich foods daily. Examples include lean meats, fish, legumes and dairy. Our divided plates make it easy to keep your child's protein separate from other parts of the meal at home, while our bento boxes and divided storage containers perform the same function while on the go or at school.
Kids should be eating three to five servings of vegetables every day in addition to other nutrient-dense foods for optimal growth. From mild leafy greens to snappy carrots and celery, vegetables provide a tasty, nutritious addition to your child's lunch. Slice cucumbers or zucchini into spears or coins, cut carrots and celery into bite-size chunks and cut peppers into strips for portable, easy-to-eat veggies that pack a punch of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Use a food processor or a high-powered blender to make veggie-packed soups to pack into our Pottery Barn Kids containers for a nutritious school lunch that supports healthy, strong growth.
Like vegetables, fruit packs a lot of nutrition into a few small bites. Cut up your child's favorite fruits into bite-sized pieces and include them with lunch. Freeze watermelon, honeydew or cantaloupe chunks for a frosty, sweet treat on warm days. Our insulated lunch bags keep your child's meal properly chilled to maintain fruit and other foods at a refreshing temperature.
Growing bodies need plenty of fuel to stay healthy and strong and have the energy for learning, sports and play. Some carbohydrate-rich foods for growing kids include whole-grain bread, wraps, bagels and pita bread. Swap out chips for popcorn, oatmeal-raisin cookies instead of chocolate chip and low-sugar oat-based granola bars for a sweet treat.
Healthy fats
Maintain strength and good health while supporting brain activity with healthy fats, which supply essential nutrients, including vitamin E, zinc and essential fatty acids. These important components provide enhanced nutrient absorption, build cellular membranes and help support proper hormone formation. Fat also gives kids extra energy to take them from a busy school day to sporting events and sleepovers with their friends. Skip the unhealthy trans fats found in most processed foods and add a small serving of whole foods such as avocado, almonds or hazelnuts to their snacks and lunches. Fatty fish, walnuts and flaxseed are also important healthy fat sources.

Feijoa season is never quite real until I have the fruit in one hand and a teaspoon in the other. That taste. There's nothing like it. And the texture. And the memories.
Twitter told me back in March that the feijoas had arrived early this year and I've been noting disgruntled friends in other cities commiserating about the price of them in the supermarkets etc. But I have not seen any myself, until I stumbled across six trees in my neighbourhood, neglected, fruit unwanted.
The first ones I grabbed were ruined by fruit fly. Ugggh. The horror and the disappointment. But, unable to help myself, I went back and discovered good sized feijoas that were untouched.
Simultaneously, Word Porn (on Facebook) delivered up this unknown gem: Natsukashii. I have a suspicion that this translation from the Japanese may not be entirely accurate – but it is the most perfect description of what it is like to taste a feijoa again after half a lifetime (or even just 10 months), to be overcome with "euphoric nostalgia" for all those good times, just sitting and laughing and scooping. Absolutely among the best memories.

INFJs can be perfectionists.
One adjective that stands out amongst all of the adjectives to describe an INFJ is "perfectionist." Yes, I am a perfectionist. Now, I am not a perfectionist about everything, but I do have unique situations when the perfectionist part of me comes out. For instance, I feel like I cannot function in the morning if I do not make my bed. Who cares if the bed is made? I do.
Some people may double check their work, but I will triple check it. It can get a little ridiculous, and it can strain my eyesight, but I cannot help it.
With that said, INFJs can be pretty relaxed about most things, because we love observing other peoples' behavior, but we do have our moments of correcting and situating things to be "just right."
We have high standards for ourselves and others.
While we expect much from others, we also expect a lot from ourselves. I am my own worst critic. I strive to be and do more every day. This is not to say I think I am not enough, but I like to push myself to be better. Can any other INFJs relate to this?
I have been told that I "expect too much" from people, which is the truth. Hello, INFJs are idealists—we want the ideal. But we are also realists (in some magical way we can be both), so we are aware that our expectations are high. We get it.
Relationships can be tough for us as well, because we have the ideal relationship already built up in our head. We know what we want. However, our realistic sensibility allows us to love people exactly as they are—flaws and all.
Our intuitive abilities are unexplainable.
Introverted intuition is our dominant function, and you will hear the INFJ say, "I don't know how I know… I just do."
What's your personality type? Knowing your type can help you leverage your natural strengths. Take the free test from our partner Personality Hacker.
We are highly in tune with our feelings and go with what our gut tells us. This can lead to some stubbornness if others try to persuade or suggest things that do not align with our inner value system. I am told I often shut down others' ideas when I had no intention of doing so. I get stuck on one idea, because it's what feels right to me, but I have learned to let go a little and let other people share their insight with me.
Trust me, my INFJ friend, we don't actually know everything.
We value our privacy.
INFJs are typically difficult to get to know on a deeper level, not because we won't go there, but because we won't go there with just anybody. It takes a long time for us to trust someone fully.
Click Here to learn how to become irresistibly attractive to your man and create an incredible relationship starting today
We make the people close to us our top priority and cherish our time with them so greatly that we do not feel the need to share it with everyone else. And sometimes we need things just for us to keep.
With that said, we can come across as aloof or standoffish to others. We are highly protective of our inner world, and it takes the Jaws of Life to take our guard down. When we do finally open up, it's because we have found someone who speaks to our sensitive souls.
Sometimes we slam the door.
The worst part of opening up so rarely is that whenever someone hurts us too much, we tend to shut them out of our lives. This is often referred to as the "INFJ Door Slam." I have done it myself on a couple of occasions.
To people who may not know us well, we seem incredibly callous and cruel to shut someone off from us in what seems like a short amount of time. The truth is, we are capable of forgiving, but when we are pushed to a certain point of pain, we shut off. We shut down. We can't do it anymore.
It takes a long time for us to bounce back from that pain. My suggestion to any INFJs that find themselves in this situation is take your time, but at some point, you must forgive.
We're wanderers who live inside our heads.
This is why it is difficult for us to verbalize all the things we think about because our thoughts live in an abstract setting. Socializing in large groups can be a bit difficult for us, because we have no interest in capturing everyone's attention. We want one-on-one time, and we want it to be quality time.
Although we love people and getting to know them, we also drift away for a while. I often joke that I am a wanderer. Whether I am wandering around in my mind or in the physical world, I have no problem going off on my own.
INFJs are lone wolves. Like all introverts, we hide away for periods of time, but do not be alarmed. When we love you, we always come back.
INFJs are mysterious people. We are mysteries even to ourselves most of the time. The best thing we can do is to accept this about ourselves.
Embrace every aspect of who you are. You are rare and special, and there are people who will cherish you—let one of those people be you.

A Daily Thought Provoker Quote
from Heart & Path Journal at HeartPathJournal.net
Online Publications of David J. Hall
"Some passions can only be learned through pain."
( Max Lucado / from his book: "A Gentle Thunder" )
#PastorsTip #DTP
In the game of life, train and practice with devotion, play with passion and courage, play according to God's instructions and rules.
Then, the only way to Win is to take the Risk, take the Shot!
"Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training… but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."
~ 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth."
~ Acts 1:8
Our routine daily life is a very prominent part of being a witness for Jesus Christ. How we react to the small things is just as important as how we react to the big problems.
When I was a young boy I had a horrible temper that would manifest in certain situations. At one point, I scared myself when I discovered just what I was capable of doing while in a monster-like rage. After that, I scared myself even more deeply when I realized how far my angry thoughts were going to take me.
As a young boy, I cried out to God for help. I knew that I couldn't overcome this anger-monster that was within me. This was my giant, my Goliath, that I desperately needed to–wanted to–conquer.
The passion that fueled my temper soon began to fuel my stand for righteousness. My passion wasn't what was wrong, it was my motivation, my self-centeredness. When I focused my heart on seeking first the Kingdom of God, and on being Christ-centered, my passion then became the fuel for living a holy life.
Was I perfect? No. Am I perfect? No. But I am extremely passionate about God's Will now instead of being passionate about My Will.
The Holy Spirit has led me in this internal change of my center, my core. He has led me and granted me victory over the anger-monster, this Goliath, for 40+ years now. I don't have a temper that rages anymore, but I still have a deep reservoir of passion and strength that fuel my zeal for God's Will.
My reservoir of strength and passion are maintained by the inflow of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. Without Him, I still scare myself when I think of what I can be capable of without His power and His guidance to stay centered on Christ.

Enterprises Embrace Pwnie Express's "Pwn Pulse" SaaS Security Assessment Solution First of Its Kind Enterprise-class Offering Provides Remote Location Intelligence
Boston, MA, October 21, 2014 – Enterprises across verticals have lauded Pwnie Express's new Pwn Pulse software as a service (SaaS) solution, calling it "groundbreaking" for its ability to easily provide visibility across their remote locations. The enterprises were taking part in the Beta program for Pwn Pulse, which became publicly available today.
"Pwn Pulse allows us to have true policies in regards to our networks and computers and a true way to test them," said Eric Gilbert, Manager of IT Operations for Black, Mann & Gramm, L.L.P, who took part in the Beta program. "It gives us the ability to not only have the policies on hardening our hardware but also a way to verify that it's where it's supposed to be."
Gilbert touted the system's ease of use and management console, stating that you don't have a to be "security guru" to fully leverage the Pwn Pulse.
"For Amarillo National Bank security of our customers' information is paramount. We already know the power of Pwnie's sensors that currently provide us with unprecedented wired and wireless asset discovery at our remote sites," said Bill Davis, Data Security Officer at Amarillo National Bank. "We are excited to be taking part in the Pwn Pulse Beta program because it solves the pressing problem of continuous and comprehensive assessment of remote locations."
Pwnie Express is the only company to assess wired and wireless network security in remote locations on demand. Pwn Pulse enterprise-class offering uses Pwnie Express's easy-to-deploy sensors combined with central management to provide highly scalable continuous intelligence across remote locations.
An end-to-end security assessment solution designed specifically for hard-to-reach distributed remote sites, Pwn Pulse delivers real-time wired and wireless asset discovery, continuous vulnerability scanning, pentesting, risk trending and alerting.
The Pwn Pulse solution also scored top marks in a comprehensive security audit performed by leading security-consulting firm TrustedSec, LLC.
"We were very impressed with how Pwn Pulse compared to the security of most other SaaS platforms," said Dave Kennedy, President and CEO of TrustedSec. "Pwnie Express is clearly paving the way to a new baseline security profile for SaaS."
Known for its drop-box penetration testing solutions, the new SaaS solution completes the entire enterprise security assessment lifecycle. The solution delivers a robust centralized management console that:
o Allows for out-of-the-box deployment of sensors
o Aggregates and correlates sensor data
o Provides trending and analysis of data with the ability to drill down to sensor asset level
Pwn Pulse also easily and seamlessly integrates with existing security information and event management (SIEM) products.
Product benefits:
o Provides a cost-effective lightweight, non-intrusive and easy-to-deploy solution for remote locations
o Delivers the most comprehensive asset discovery to remote sites
o Extends vulnerability management to remote sites
o Enables subsequent on-demand penetration testing to remote sites
o Allows for easy anywhere multi-site deployment
o Increases frequency and scope of remote site assessment
o Expands awareness of wired, wireless, BYOD and rogue devices across all sites
o Addresses PCI DSS and HIPAA compliance requirements at remote sites
o Reduces travel and operational overhead required to do security testing
"Securing wired and wireless connections at remote locations has never been more critical with the proliferation of access points exponentially expanding the enterprise attack surface," said Dave Porcello, CTO and founder of Pwnie Express. "Attackers seek the easiest point of entry, and today, with the widespread use of wireless devices, from printers to BYOD, and the lack of visibility into these locations, it has never been easier."
Pwn Pulse provides consolidated asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, and pentesting in a single unified solution to deliver actionable risk information showing organizations where they are most vulnerable. This allows organizations to focus on high probability threats and threat vectors.
It also helps organizations meet regulatory standards including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) that requires penetration testing to be in compliance.
Pwn Pulse's integrated intelligence delivers continuous in-depth analysis to accurately identify attack paths, allowing organizations to extend their security from the headquarters across their entire organization.
Pwn Pulse is generally available. For more information please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com (855) 793-1337.

Five thousand janitors October 25, 2010Posted by caveblogem in Other.
Just saw this post about a post about an article about the over-education of the American workforce and had to track down the stats myself.
These are just some numbers I found interesting when browsing the data. The full tables from which this snippet was derived can be found here.
- 1. Clifton Moberg - November 28, 2013
Dear Caveblogem: I have just finished a novel of 100,000 words and wish to determine the actual vocabulary count of different words used. You once blogged on the subject. Is there a word processing feature somewhere I can use? Also, I am in need of five "advance copy readers" to read the book and give possible positive review blurbs for the rear cover of this paperback. Are you interested?

Russian Snow WhiteSaturday, December 01, 2012
I don't know how I came up with this title. I just thought it would fit this outfit. The pumps and the skirt are cute and the fake fur always reminds me of Russian women. And: there's snow outside right now, of course. That's my interpretation of a modern Snow White Look. What does Snow White look like in your imagination?

So we're traveling to Massachusetts this weekend to visit some family and to get some help with finishing Nathan's quilt I've been working on for 4 years, from one of Kevin's aunts. Don't judge. I started it while I was finishing my Bachelor's and working. If I'd been diagnosed with the dain bramage prior to the undertaking, I'd have waited til after graduation to start it and would probably just be finishing it up now. Only 4 months later, instead of 4 years later.
Everwhat (that's a Kevinism. He says it like this: EVer WHhhat)…we've been on the road in some pretty shitty traffic for about 9 hours now. The trip typically takes 6 to 6 1/2 hours. Freakin' NY traffic. EVERY time. You should have heard the gems streaming from Kevin's mouth while driving. And in the backseat, we have the 13-year-old, busting farts, reciting one-liners from Anchorman. He's obsessed with the word "lanolin". He keeps saying it over and over again. He chuckles after each "lanolin". http://youtu.be/6assm-ecPgc
At some point I checked my phone for phone messages and found a voice mail from the Junior High School, informing us of Nathans truancy today. This is the slap-happy and inappropriate kind of conversation that ensues in our car, between the 3 of us when the ride has gotten too long, bladders are full and the NY smog has rotted our brains:
Meg: (Turning to show Nathan the voice mail) Ooooohhh.. Nathan you are truant today. You're sick again. You've relapsed (referencing the excuse we used for taking him out of school last week during their shorter-than-ever "Spring Break" and our trip to Wildwood, NJ).
Nathan: You should tell them I have gonorrhea HEP A, B, C, MERSA, syphilis… (he's learning so much in school this year). Also, this may be a reference to a Beavis and Butt-Head video we watched while away last weekend). Here are snippets of the video in two parts (total of about 7 minutes).
Kevin and Meg: (Recalling Beavis and Butt-Head video. Laughing).
Kevin: PARVO…
Nathan: What's PARVO?
Kevin: I knew a woman who had PARVO. (Smiling).
Meg: Oh my God Kevin that's not funny. Why are you smiling?
Kevin: It's a dog disease.
Meg: I thought it had to do with eggs or chickens.
Kevin: No. Dogs.
Nathan: So did the lady and the dog get it on and that's how she got it?
Meg: 😳
Kevin: Um. NO.
Meg: I saw a dog and a cat getting it on once though.
Nathan: Oh my God, you did? Was it a big dog?
Meg: No it was a pug.
Nathan: (Laughing hard) Was the cat accepting it?
Meg: (Also laughing hard). No! You know how dogs are just kind of humpy? He was kind of just doing that to the cat. The cat was kind of just tolerating it. There was no penetration. No intercourse.
Kevin: It was outercourse.
Nathan: (Dying in backseat).
Nathan: What color cat was it?
Meg: 😳
Kevin: Owwwwooo (Beavis and Butt-Head video reference again…)
Nathan: Lanolin.
My life with these two… I freakin' love it. We are constantly entertaining ourselves, even when we don't realize it.

This is not a new Iron Man sport. Please, horse people, realize what your non-horsey friends/family are going to hear should you start using the term "Throwing" in horse lingo. If you say, for instance, that mare has frequently thrown chestnuts, no one is going to picture her giving birth. Non horse people will duck and cover around that mare, thinking they might get pelted with the nuts she just roasted over an open fire with Jack Frost.
And after you tell someone she threw a really nice foal, they will hate her for picking up and throwing a really nice foal. Remember to say: "That mare often gives birth to nice orange-colored foals."
