I'm on the fence about the photos. Whenever I post with a photo my "total reach" is practically nothing, when I post without a photo my "total reach" is tripple. I've also tested this several times so now I post the same post with and without photos... without photos always reaches more.

Is there a way to bend pvc?
I was wondering if it could be heated somehow & then bent. Anyone ever tried it?
This is my trellis made from pvc pipe. My kiwi vines are going to provide me with some much needed shade this year!!! It's about 18ft in lenth and arched and attached to the house, my water system guy made it for me cuz I was exclaiming/whining how much money an arbor would of cost(too much for me)so he made this with heavy duty gage pvc.
He also put in the most amazing watering system! He has done golf courses!!! But my little 1/2 acre was a challenge to him, good thing he likes challenges!!!Did it for a VERY reasonalble price!
Here is a link that might be useful:
First, hot water??? what are you putting thru the flower stems???? I am confused.
But ladies and gentlemen I beg to differ. Look at all the pvc that is arched and used for greenhouses. Also, lets not forget the birds made with pvc pipes. They are cut and heated and bent and stretched.
I am looking for the directions I have somewhere.
I also found this site that has a lot of related items we might like to check out.
pvc hinges
We actually did this way back when in Scouts, we made snow shoes with PVC pipe, this was a gray colored PVC.
Someone made a form, plywood with nails outlining the shape, on both sides of where the PVC would go. They used a heat gun to get it pretty flexible, and pushed it down between the nails, and then when it cooled they took it out of the form and wa-la, a snow shoe shape ready to be strung up with leather lacing.
Unfortunately my husband can't remember exactly what kind of PVC, but then it seems most days he can't remember his own name!
The Scouts had a ball with these, and we ended up selling ours at a yard sale to a grampa who took up to his cabin.
Does this make any sense?
who has a fried brain from the 25 degree plus over normal temps
for your flower stem could you use a piece of old green garden hose and run a heavy wire/coat hanger through it to bend into the shape you want?
Hello everyone, It's my first time here and I would like to contribute.
I have bent PVC for several projects. You can use the following method:
-Kettle for boiling water.
-A large bucket with cold water.
-Leather Gloves or a pair of rags.
-PVC pipe, no longer than 7'
Put the kettle in the stove and boil the water. Once the steam starts to come out, put your gloves on and hold one end of the pipe directly on the sprout so the steam goes inside the pipe.
After a few minutes, it will start to get soft and pliable.
Work the PVC in the shape desired and put it into the cold water, that will make it retain the shape.
Reverse the pipe and work the other end.
If you need an extension longer than 7', bend several pieces and join them with PVC couplers.
A heat gun also works, but it's very common to "pinch" the PVC while bending since it's hard to heat the pipe equally on all sides and that will create an unsteady flow of water. The steam will give you a more uniform heating.
Hope this helps!
calamity that trellis is amazing...how long have those kiwi been growing there? Does kiwi vines flower? I know they sure taste good, my daughter loves them! Anyway sorry this is off topic as i know nothing about bending pvc pipe...i would think you could get some thin rebarb however and curve it by hammering in the curves and spray paint green...might be a option and since you can buy them in thin pieces would look very much like a stem and it's cheap you can get it at lowe's. just a thought.
Lone wolf, the key issues that you did not mention are what diameter and schedule pipe. These are most important as they will indicate the thickness and coating of the pipe being used.
I'm not sure I understand "pinch" as you're describing, this is something that happens with poly pipe cannot fathom the same thing happening to rigid pvc
Awesome trellis!! I would wrap or drape clear/white Christmas Lights from it after the plants fill in for a awesome night time sitting/dining area.
What a great idea for a trellis. If I ever move back up north I want to make a greenhouse using pvc.
I just found this tool while doing a search, I have been thinking about trying to build a greenhouse out of PVC piping.
http://www.thepipeviper.com/ might be worth checking out, the price doesn't seem too bad
You can actually bend PVC in hot/very warm water. I worked at a PVC furniture manufacturer and the guys back there would stand behind the tub with their hands in the water all day bending PVC. Very strange but it works and it won't break as it would if you were to just take it and bend it by yourself. Heat is the key to getting it to bend without breaking.
I would really like to know if anybody knows how to make the really cool pvc birds that are sold at the nurseries. I bought 2 that look like the white cranes from a local nursery but of course would like to make some more myself since they cost $30 each plus tax. The ones I have turn on a metal post and also bob up and down. They look really cool in my garden.
There was also a post a while back about someone who had a garden trellis for their kiwi plants but I can't see the picture.
Can anybody help me with these.
Thank you
There is also something similar to http://www.thepipeviper.com for bending pipes without collapsing the pipes, it goes outside, not inside the pipes when you are bending.
Here is what you can do to heat up the pipe first:
For larger diameter pipes you can make a quick wood trough so that the boiling water can soak the pipe thoroughly.
For small diameter pipes, you can wrap a thick towel around the pipe so that the boiling water can have time to heat up the pipe evenly.
There is an old thread about things made with pvc pipe here:
It includes photos (if they are still up) of pvc greenhouses I think and arbors.
I made my pvc pasture gates with pre-molded pvc corner sections. Some people used these for their creations and I think some bent the pipe using heat. It should be mentioned (and is mentioned in this thread) that heating pvc releases toxic chemicals.
"-----It should be mentioned (and is mentioned in this thread) that heating pvc releases toxic chemicals. "
Please do the proper research regarding PVC toxicity.
There have been some additives used in PVC that was banned. PVC is in general safe.
Remember the huge problem with silicone implants? which caused Dow to go bankrupt? Many lawyer got very rich, and many people lost their jobs? Later, it was found that silicone had nothing to do with any suspected health issues.
The EPA has listed PVC as a carcinogen. Burning or heating it is believed to release dioxins.
I'm not up to speed on adverse health consequences regarding silicon implants, but many toxins once believed to be safe have proven otherwise. Asbestos and lead are good examples. They are both relatively harmless unless one disturbs them, ie by removing asbestos and thus releasing dust from this material into the air or by sanding lead paint, or unless one has persistent contact with these substances for instance workers in plants where these substances were used. Dangers of contact are heightened for very young children as well as unborn children.

Introducing Greenwich Play Therapy and Carabiner's Indoor Climbing center: These new Fairfield County, CT, businesses have noteworthy offerings for kids and families.
Play with a Purpose
Greenwich Play Therapy, a private psychotherapy practice, opened in January in Cos Cob. Owner Elizabeth O'Brien, LPC, LLC, a family psychotherapist, specializes in play therapy targeted toward children, adolescents, and families.
"When you're working with children, it's important to recognize that they're not going to be able to sit on a couch and talk about the problems that are stressing them out. They don't have that language," O'Brien says. "Play therapy is a natural way to access and communicate the struggles they're dealing with." Children use mediums like creative arts, puppets, and storytelling to express their troubles, and O'Brien uses these means in turn to help them work out those troubles.
O'Brien's specialties include anxiety, behavior and anger management, bereavement and loss, illnesses, trauma and neglect, attachment issues, and parent coaching. These individual parent sessions focus on how parents can help their children. "I don't see children as existing in a vacuum," O'Brien says. "It's important to have a working relationship with the families and to keep an open dialogue with schools and other important relationships in the child's life."
Greenwich Play Therapy is located at 132 East Putnam Avenue, 2 East, Cos Cob. For more information: 914-393-1202.
Party Like a Rock Star
Carabiner's Indoor Climbing, an indoor rock climbing facility, opened August 6 in Fairfield. The four-story facility boasts 23,000 square feet of climbing space. It joins a sister gym located in New Bedford, MA-the largest indoor rock climbing gym in the U.S.
"We have something for every level of ability," says Steve Caton, owner of both facilities. He adds that there is no age limit for climbing. In addition to flexible courses that can accommodate all levels of climbers, the Fairfield facility offers instructional classes for all ages and abilities, including a course on how to belay and a specialized course for people who have a fear of heights. "For families, it's a great way to share an activity that's technical, goal-oriented, and physical all at once," Caton says.
Carabiner's also houses a rock climbing team, for those ages 6 and up who want to compete, and a rock-climbing club, for those who want to hone their skills without the pressure of competition.
The facility offers birthday party packages, which include instruction and climbing time with trained instructors as well as a party room. Carabiner's is also available for bar/bat mitzvah parties, overnight parties, and scout events.
85 Mill Plain Road, Building T, Fairfield. For more information: 203-416-5500.

The Complete Country Business Guide
Everything You Need to Know to Become a Rural Entrepreneur
Reviewed by
Cindy Patuszynski
Ever fantasize about escaping the big city congestion and moving to a home and a new job out in the country? It's not just for farmers anymore. Rogak has been running her own country business for over ten years, and in The Complete Country Business Guide she not only shows readers that it's feasible—she also provides sound business advice for starting a rural business.
Rogak emphases that there is a whole lot more that goes into planning for a country business than merely moving in and hanging a sign, and that the marketing and attitude required to succeed in a rural business is different from city businesses. A number of businesses are profiled and quotes from the actual business owners lend credence to the information. The profiles contain useful information for readers to evaluate the business potential of the various options: ease of start-up, initial capital investment requirements, success potential, and overall pros and cons. From bed and breakfast inns to restaurants and llama farms, all of which are profiled, the possibilities are as endless as one's imagination.
Written in a style that is easy to read, with a tone that is encouraging but cautious, this book does a good job of stressing the importance of doing one's homework before plunging ahead with a new business; advice that could save readers from serious and potentially costly oversights or mistakes down the road.

NBC's Ted Harbert Adds Late-Night Oversight (Exclusive)
With The Tonight Show set to move from Burbank to New York in 2014, NBC Broadcasting chairman Ted Harbert is taking on a big new role overseeing the day-to-day management of the network's late-night programming, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. In an unusual twist, late night will continue to report to current reality and late-night chief Paul Telegdy.
Harbert reports directly to NBCUniversal chairman Steve Burke. Telegdy, based in Burbank, reports to NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt, who in turn reports to Burke. Harbert's role is said to involve daily oversight of The Tonight Show and Late Night, both of which are expected to tape in New York beginning next spring.
STORY: 'Tonight Show's' NYC Move To Save NBC $20 Million in Tax Credits
According to an informed source, Telegdy -- whose title is president, alternative and late night programming -- recently flew to New York to lobby for continued sole oversight of the late-night schedule. But with all of that programming now originating in New York, Harbert clearly will be a major player in his expanded role.
NBC declined to comment on the moves.
Many industry observers have long felt that Harbert, who now oversees advertising sales for NBC-owned television stations and affiliate relations, has wanted to expand his portfolio.
According to sources, Telegdy had opposed the decision to shift Jay Leno out of his Tonight perch. They also say that it was Harbert, rather than Telegdy, who initially was tasked with effecting the transition to Jimmy Fallon, though ultimately it was Burke who flew to Los Angeles in March to convince Leno that the time had come for change.
As first reported in THR, NBC plans to move Fallon into the Tonight host's chair in February. The show will return to New York, where it was produced until a 1972 move to the West Coast. It will be produced by Lorne Michaels.

In my last post, I discussed the rationale behind the "Rugged DevOps" idea from Gene Kim and Joshua Corman. To recap, they have argued that to make DevOps "Rugged", that is – secure, the security team needs to be integrated into the DevOps cycle. In particular, there should be security experts as part of agile sprints, building in security from the very beginning of development. This is a compelling idea. To implement it, technologically, I submitted that we have to secure three separate parts of DevOps: the infrastructure, the "sprint" updates, and the actual DevOps process itself. We'll discuss the first two in this post.
The first step, subtle but essential, is to separate the "infrastructure" from the "application". As we have argued here before, this is a natural split for DevOps, as operations is responsible for architecting the more stable infrastructure components, while agile developers handle the application. To accomplish this, you need to be able to automate the provisioning of the platform in a modular fashion, rather than over-reliance on images or virtual templates.
Since the infrastructure changes much less often, the server and application infrastructure should be architected and secured as a baseline for both the whole DevOps cycle (Dev to Prod). This means that developers would work within a secured environment that is locked down to production standards. Where the line is drawn between infrastructure and "code and content" will be different for different organizations. As an example, you would expect that the sprint updates would include configuration changes to the infrastructure (f.ex. tuning parameters), and certain "code" might be static enough to be included in the baseline. Bottom line, they would establish a security standard for the baseline that is monitored from development to production.
This then allows the newly "security enhanced" agile sprint team to focus on the security standards for the "code and content" or application portion. Instead of building a security standard for the whole stack, the agile security team member would validate a modular standard covering just the custom portions of the stack, and that standard would then be released with the actual code. This is the important point – updated security standards should be released as part of the agile sprint "package". In production, the security state of a system (matching the old way of looking at things) would be a combination of the two – infrastructure compliance and "application" compliance.
So, how does this help us? By delegating different parts of the stack – from a provisioning AND security perspective – to operations and development, we can ensure that there is both accountability for securing the whole server stack, as well as significantly reducing the drag of security audits on the DevOps cycle. I would also contend that this kind of approach could revolutionize the way information security teams approach policy enforcement. Instead of starting from the server (OS) up, this approach forces security teams to treat the application separately, instead of giving the short shrift that so often leads to security holes today.

First Look: Nikon Goes Wi-Fi with the D5300 and Announces a New 58mm f/1.4 Lens
Nikon has announced its latest DX-format mid-range DSLR camera and it becomes the first to feature built-in Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity, thus ushering Nikon's high-resolution DSLRs into a new world of direct instant upload, social network sharing and remote image viewing. The Nikon D5300 DSLR is available as a body-only in black, red and gray models. It is also being bundled with a wide-angle zoom lens to create the Nikon D5300 DSLR with 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. In addition to the new camera, Nikon has also released the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.5G lens.
The D5300 is the successor to the D5200 and shares with that camera a compact and comfortable form factor that is just right for those who want the image quality and versatility of a DSLR without the bulk. Indeed, the D5300 has advanced in this regard by coming out of the box 2.5 oz lighter than the D5200. It has also upped the size and resolution of its full articulating tilt-swivel LCD monitor to 3.2" and 1037k-dots respectively, which enables clearer image composition and playback of photos and videos. However, the advancements go much deeper than the camera surface. The D5300 houses a 24.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor with a design that omits its optical low-pass filter to enable image capture at its optimal resolution and with the sharpest of details. The lack of a low-pass (or anti-aliasing) filter puts the image quality of the D5300 into the territory of the best Nikon has to offer and when combined with the large selection of compatible F-mount lenses, your photo and video capabilities are exceptional.
Full HD 1080p video capture is also supported by the D5300. Multiple frame rates, including 60p, 30p and cinematic 24p are available and lower resolution 720p and VGA formats are also provided. Stereo audio via a built-in microphone or an optional external mic can be adjusted manually during recording and full-time autofocus will keep a moving subject in focus throughout your clip. Continuous video clips can be recorded at highest quality for up to 20 minutes and HDMI output enables direct connection to HDTVs.
In addition to its ultra-high-resolution capture, the D5300 features metering and focus capabilities that enable stunning high-speed and low-light photography from shooters of all levels. Its 39-point high-density autofocus system with 9 cross-type sensors quickly locks onto your subject, and Nikon's 3D-tracking uses the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor to recognize and follow a subject across the frame. Continuous shooting of 5 fps and a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second allow you to capture fast action or that perfect moment when a hidden smile appears. The CMOS sensor and high-speed image processor not only offer fast performance speeds but, aided by an ISO range of 100-128000 that expands to 25600, rich color saturation in strong light and low-noise sensitivity in dim light.
Nikon's Scene Recognition System automatically analyzes your scene, comparing it to its on-board database, and applies the most appropriate exposure, white balance and shutter speed for exceptional auto imaging. Of course, aperture and shutter priority and manual exposure modes are also available for more exacting control of your images. Additional automatic functions such as the new subject-based Active D-Lighting, built-in HDR and 16 Scene Modes enable even beginners to capture images with tricky shadows and contrast. Creative Image Effects and Retouch allow you to add artistic flourishes to your shots either before or after capture.
As mentioned, the D5300 is a compact DSLR and in being so, it has designed its access to buttons and controls in a simple and ergonomic fashion. The Nikon menu system is intuitive and easy to navigate. Both a built-in pop up flash and hot shoe for external flash are provided and its LCD monitor is complemented by a bright optical viewfinder for stable eye-level composition.
Images are stored on SD, SDHC or SDXC media cards and with built-in Wi-Fi as its most important new feature, the D5300 can instantly send photos to your Wi-Fi enabled computer or iOS or Android smartphones or tablets. Easy transfer of these images is one benefit of the wireless connection, however you can also browse your camera's images on your smartphone and select your favorites to upload and share via social networking sites. The Wi-Fi connection also enables you to use your smart device as the camera's viewer for large screen composition and even for remote shutter release. In addition, built-in GPS functionality geo-tags all of your photos, can share your location data and can point out places of interest that you just may want to photograph.
The D5300 comes as a camera body-only in three colors but the black body is also offered combined with a compact zoom lens. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens provides the 35mm focal length equivalent of 27-210mm for an incredibly versatile shooting range from true wide-angle to full telephoto. Its aspherical and ED lens elements reduce aberrations and improve image clarity throughout the zoom range. Nikon's Vibration Reduction image stabilization offers 4-stops of shake correction for clear imaging in low light and at long focal lengths, and the Silent Wave Autofocus Motor provides smooth and silent AF action, which is particularly important when shooting video.

A Nod Towards Noct
Also announced today is the new AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G lens, which is a very fast prime FX lens with a standard focal length that rests in the "sweet spot" just a bit beyond 50mm but not quite yet telephoto. With deference to the acclaimed Noct NIKKOR 58mm f/1.2 lens of years gone by, this state-of-the art optic offers exceptional low-light capability and enhanced depth-of-field control. It is also allows for fast shutter speeds when shooting distant subjects at infinity and a 9-blade rounded aperture for beautiful out-of-focus background areas. Two aspherical elements reduce aberrations and its advanced optical design minimizes sagittal coma flare at the edge of the frame when shooting at maximum aperture. Nano Crystal Coating and Super Integrated Coating are effective in minimizing reflections and eliminating flare and ghosting. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor provides smooth and silent autofocus and manual focus override allows for precise manual focus at any time. With its wide maximum aperture, exceptional optics and autofocus capacity, the 58mm f/1.4 is an ideal lens for impressionistic filmmaking, standard length photography in the FX format and portraiture when using DX-format cameras for which it provides a 35mm focal length equivalency of 87mm.

I for one have been waiting for a few years for a Nikon AFS pro-level 50mm lens that has its sweet spot at f/2.0 or faster as is my manual ais 50mm f/1.2 purchased earlier this year and which is one of my favorite lens--in particular for shooting at f/1.2 and f/2. Note the sometimes back-log market for the Leica 50mm f/0.95 at over $10k and I had considered it, too, as a past Leica user....so, if this Nikon lens meets my expectations, I will gladly purchase--I now prefer a 50mm over the 35mm format, and this lens will compliment my other lenses--though, I have become so found of my manual 50 f/1.2 'artistic' optical flaws at f/1.2, I'm not sure if this new lens will add that much more (I'm seasoned at focusing this manual lens on my D4...at F/1.2). In fact, this new lens will likely also be on my wife's D7000 as a portrait lens in addition to my D4.
Actually, you could trace the lineage on this lens even further back to the original Nikon F's which came with a 50mm f2 lens or a 58mm f1.4 lens. I own an original Black F with one of these magnificent lenses. The difference in picture angle from the 50mm is minimal and the Nikon RF's came with 50mm f1.4 lenses, so why the 58mm?
Being devilishly clever chaps, the Nippon Kogaku people figured out that if you placed the 58mm f1.4 on the Nikon F, whether you were right-eyed or left-eyed on the viewfinder, you could open the other eye and SEE EXACTLY THE SCENE THAT WAS ON THE GROUNDGLASS! If a photographer so desired, he or she could train "themselves" to compose on the ground glass focusing screen while switching brain paths and taking in the surrounding area for items of interest.
Pretty darn neat, huh?

Report: NYCFC wants to bring Carles Puyol to MLS in 2015
Feb 27, 2014, 12:18 PM EDT
The big names have been flying as New York City FC and the Unnamed FC Miami Beckham United Haircuts continue to duke it out over who can be mentioned with the biggest player ahead of actually playing a soccer game.
And while Xavi and Cristiano Ronaldo have represented La Liga in the rumor mill over recent weeks, it's now Barcelona legend and Spanish center back Carles Puyol who is being linked with a big money interest in New York, according to Spanish media's Diario Gol.
The report says Puyol would be NYCFC's first designated player when they take the field for their first matches in 2015, and he hasn't featured much for Barcelona this year thanks largely to injury (though there have been questions of form as well).
Puyol signed a contract extension last month that would keep him in Barca colors through 2016, so this would become a transfer situation. It's been a decade and a half in Barcelona for the wild-haired back, and as the status of the league moves away from simply a retirement home for has-beens, there is some question as to how effective he would be in the light blue for Jason Kreis.
- mianfr - Feb 27, 2014 at 12:23 PM
At the rate he's going, he'll be lucky if he can still walk by then.
- midtec2005 - Feb 27, 2014 at 1:44 PM
NYCFC is going to embarrass themselves if all they care about is signing near-40 year old players. I have a feeling Kreis will keep them on the right track though.
- danielofthedale - Feb 27, 2014 at 2:22 PM
I love Puyol and he is one of the greatest leaders on the field in the 21st century, but he is not just over the hill he is about to be completely off the hill. He can hardly stay healthy enough to play. This would be awful way to start a franchise.

Bizarre, even for a cat
Got home, called the vet and got the cat out of boarding. If you could have translated what she said to us I don't think it would have been printable. By the time we got home with her everything was O.K.
I went out and sat on a bench by my shop door. Out of the wind and in the sun, the cat of course was sitting beside me. She all of a sudden jumped down on the patio and was rubbing her cheeks on something that looked like a small twig. She did it over and over so I pulled her away and looked, it was a millipede. She begin licking it and I picked her up and tossed the millipede in the lawn. She jumped down and was looking for it when she laid down and was totally inert. I actually thought she was dead. I could lift a paw and it would drop. Her head would drop if I lifted it, was about to make an emergency call to the vet when she stood and swayed slightly and began looking for the millipede. It must have been pleasurable because she looked for quite a while for it.
Have never heard of that kind of cat behavior before but I don't think I'll try licking a millipede.
I'm with KJ on cat's behavior and preferences. What is great today is "pfft" tomorrow. Mine do at times get obsessed with small bugs of all sorts, millipedes and gnats and moths, must be something very wonderful, I'm not trying to take them up on their offer to share...LOL
I forgot to figure out cats years ago. Cats are fastidious, right? So why does my cat like to take a dust bath? Is it because she knows that she gets brushed afterwards? It's not like she does not get brushed otherwise. She needs to get a couple of brush strokes everytime she goes out or in? She is a cat!
My big bear of a black kitty Oliver has apparently taught hiimself how to river dance. When he's feeling playful he sidles over to the wall where I have hung a 4' x 4' painting. Oliver delights in confusing the corner of this painting with his scratching post. So I say "NONONONONO!" At which point Mr. Oliver Wesley Catt dances over to me, jig-style, with a look that suggests, "Oh yeah? Make me!" Then he river dances off as if he were Michael Flatley.
Now how on earth could I still be miffed at that point? lolol
It's so much fun having him around and way cheaper than springing for the deluxe package from my cable TV provider. lol

please note that the-country-garden is using Schreienrs pictures without permission and believe from location that this is one in the same as the-iris-cottage from last year.
mshadow(z4 MI)
Its a shame that people like this are able to get away with what they do. Also, by the time what you buy from them blooms they have changed their name again, and if you get mislabeled irises you are out of luck. Luckily, we can be warned beforehand. Thank you for letting people know.
Chemocurl zn5b/6a Indiana(zone 5/6)
Yes, The-Country-Garden is indeed the same as The-Iris-Cottage that was hmmm...such a problem last year, and will likely continue to be so long as people are buying from them.
There was a thread about them not long back...The-Iris-Cottage...Lochbuie, Colorado

Security Architecture Best Practices for SaaS Applications
Jothi Rengarajan - Principal Architect – SaaS Solutions, Janakiraman Jayachandran - Cloud Architect
Mar 24 2015
64 mins
Gartner has predicted 18-20% growth in SaaS market, and expects it to hit US $22.1 billion by the year 2015. They have also measured that SaaS adoption rate has increased many fold in the last few years (almost 71% of enterprises use SaaS solutions).
SaaS has come a long way from "hype" to "norm". The key to this change is the confidence that has been built by the cloud/SaaS community by providing enterprise class security. Since, SaaS model of delivery has become a defacto standard of delivering products it's critical for software providers to ensure that their SaaS product meets the required industry security standards. In this webinar, we will address the security aspects related to architecture, deployment and management of SaaS solutions.
Key Takeaways:
• Security considerations in each of the architecture layers
• Data isolation risks and mitigation plans
• Overview of CWE/SANS and OWASP Security threats

Managing Security in IoT: Vulnerabilities in the Cyber Supply Chain
Mikko Varpiola (Co-Founder, Codenomicon), Tyler Shields (Sr Analyst, Forrester), Todd Carpenter (Chief Engineer, Adventium)
Mar 24 2015
61 mins
Modern software development practices dominated by component-based engineering and short development cycles have largely been a catalyst for rapid advancements in technology. These practices, however, have also resulted in an epidemic of known vulnerabilities baked into third-party software components of IoT applications and devices. These widespread security flaws, many of which are critical in nature, often remain unnoticed or unaddressed throughout the software or device lifecycle, posing significant risks to the people and organizations that rely on them.
As software continues to permeate the ever-expanding Internet of Things, software vulnerabilities represent a greater and greater threat. IoT devices, like traditional computers, run on software that is susceptible to malicious attacks. As more devices become connected, understanding how to identify and manage security vulnerabilities within widely used third-party software components is critical for all stakeholders, including manufacturers and end-users.
In this webinar, our diverse panel of security experts will:
•Propose an expanded definition and understanding of IoT and the stakeholders at risk
•Present research highlighting the pervasiveness of vulnerabilities in third-party software components of IoT devices
•Draw some conclusions about the state of software security in IoT today
•Discuss some simple approaches to addressing these problems

Johan Hybinette, HOSTING CISO
Mar 19 2015
32 mins
A lack of manpower and a dearth of resources are often major obstacles for organizations striving to achieve and maintain HIPAA and/or PCI compliance. Compliance guidelines are complex and difficult to decipher, even for the most experienced IT professionals. Recent headlines regarding unprecedented security and compliance breaches are causing companies to examine compliance-as-a-service (CaaS) solutions offered by cloud providers. But with the myriad of options available, it's difficult for companies to discern which CaaS best fits their needs.
Join Johan Hybinette, HOSTING Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), as he discusses the benefits and risks associated with CaaS. Drawing upon his 20+ years' of experience in information security and compliance, Johan will also offer tips for selecting the right CaaS for your business.

Runtime Application Self-Protection
Cindy Blake & Rob Putman, HPSW Enterprise Security Products
Mar 19 2015
47 mins
Greater than 80% of today's breaches occur with application software, yet many companies continue to invest in 'over the wire' solutions that are not solving the problem. Runtime Application Self-Protection, or RASP, is an emerging market that promises to protect applications from the inside. Using the rich context of the application's logic and associated core libraries, RASP identifies attacks in 'real-time' and stops them. Implementation is quick and requires no changes to your application's code. Join us to learn more about what RASP can do for you.
•Why context from inside the application matters
•How easy it can be to use native capabilities of Java and .NET to protect your applications
•Use cases to get you started.
