Red Stripes: A Joe Hunter Short Story by Matt Hilton

RED STRIPES
A Joe Hunter Short Story E-Book by Matt Hilton

An e-book exclusive short story featuring ex-military operative Joe Hunter.

(PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- When Joe Hunter is tasked with saving a young couple who have been kidnapped and hustled to Jamaica, he never thinks his work will follow him home. Now he's looking to enjoy some downtime in the Florida sun. That is, until a gang leader shows up looking to exact some payback ... out of Joe's hide, if necessary.

Who is Joe Hunter? For a start there are certain things he isn't. He's not a cop. He's not a bounty hunter. He's not a private detective. Some people call him a vigilante, but even Joe will tell you that vigilantes take the law into their own hands, where as there aren't too many laws that define what Joe does to get a job done. Joe is someone who cares. Simple as that. He doesn't like bullies. He doesn't like men who hurt women or children. Put into context that covers a whole bundle of bad guys the world over. He is a tough guy with a heart. Fourteen years service as a counterterrorism soldier moulded him into a human wrecking ball. He can kill you as easily with his hands as he can with his favourite weapon; his trusty SIG Sauer.

Why a SIG and not any other gun? Simple. It's what he trained with when learning the method of point shooting hat has made him a modern day gunslinger. His weapons are specially modified so that there is no safety or sights - nothing extraneous - that slows the drawing and discharge of the weapon. It could be any other gun but Joe likes the SIG because it fits nicely in his hand. Includes a sneak preview of Blood and Ashes, the exhilarating fifth novel in the Joe Hunter series. 

About the Author: Matt is a high ranking Martial Artist and currently holds the rank of 4TH DAN in the exacting combat art of Kempo JuJitsu. He founded and taught at the respected Bushidokan Dojo for many years before moving into the Police force. He has experienced countless real life fights, arrests and high tension situations in his role of Police Officer and as a Security Expert in the private sector. This gives a very real feel to the action sequences in his books and a level of authenticity respected by those in the know. 
Although Matt may play this down, there is more than a little of Matt Hilton evident in Joe Hunter. Both in attitude and action.

Zylight Unveils Ultra-Thin F8 LED Fresnel at 2013 NAB Show, Offers Rebate Promotion

LOS ANGELES  (PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Zylight, a leading manufacturer of innovative LED lighting solutions, will showcase its new F8 LED Fresnel at the 2013 NAB Show (Booth C5446), which runs April 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nev. Available in tungsten (3200K) or daylight (5600K) versions, the compact lighting instrument collapses to less than four inches thick for easy transport and storage.

"When we showed our F8 concept at NAB last year, we received an overwhelmingly positive response," said Charlie Collias, senior vice president, worldwide sales. "We've taken the traditionally hot and bulky Fresnel technology and replaced it with compact LED technology. The F8 delivers all the performance of a traditional Fresnel lighting instrument in a much more portable and energy efficient design."

As part of a special promotion, Zylight is offering a $200 rebate on all F8 orders for NAB attendees through May 15. Details will be available at the booth and at www.zylight.com.

Equipped with an eight-inch SCHOTT glass lens, the fully dimmable F8 maintains single shadow traditional Fresnel beam shaping, and offers a patented focusing system for spot and flood operations. Its beam spread is adjustable between 16-70 degrees for even coverage for widescreen HD productions.

The F8 draws only 90 watts but has close to the light output of a traditional 1000-watt Fresnel. While its silent operation makes it ideal for studio use, the F8 is also water resistant (IP54), so it can be used in challenging location conditions. The F8 can be powered by a worldwide AC adapter or standard 14.4V camera battery.

"The F8 is a really versatile, rugged light," said Joseph Arnao, president. "It's bright like an HMI but better suited for run-and-gun news ENG applications - you just snap on a battery and go. It's also a great choice for studios that need to save space and reduce operating costs."

Two speakers will share their shooting experiences with the F8 at Zylight's NAB booth. Boston-based DP Tom Guilmette recently took the new Fresnel to the top of Mount Washington. On Monday, April 8, at noon, he will discuss how his Zylight performed in the mountain's unforgiving weather conditions. On Tuesday, April 9, at 1 p.m., Matt Kearney, vice president of Fastec Imaging, will show how his company's ultra-portable TS3Cine high-speed handheld camera works with Zylight's flicker-free LED lights.

Like other Zylight models, the F8 is equipped with ZyLink wireless technology, which makes it easy to link multiple Zylights for simultaneous remote control. As a result, several F8s can be grouped together and linked for unique lighting scenarios. The F8 can also be controlled via DMX.

Barn doors and yoke mount ship with the F8. Additional options and accessories, including DMX motorized focus, pole yoke mounting, ZyLink controlled multi-head mount, hand grip, and kit box are available separately. The F8 has an MSRP of $2,400 and will ship in June.

Zylight was founded in 2003 with one mission: Bring truly intelligent, time-saving lighting to the entertainment production industry.

Windshield Repair Albuquerque NM - Important Info For Consumers

Albuquerque, NM (PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Dennis Baca, owner of Auto Glass Guys in Albuquerque wants to inform people about the importance of repairing and replacing auto glass, using a reputable company.

According to Baca, people searching Google for windshield repair Albuquerque NM sometimes make a bad decision because they didn't do their research. He says what many people aren't aware of, is large companies and "brokers" sometimes pay big bucks for paid ads on Google and other search engines and will contract smaller companies which will in turn cost the consumer more money and time by placing them behind the small business' other customers and creating a middle man, versus just calling the smaller reliable company in he first place.

He also wants his customers to know that they don't need to fear outrageous prices to get cracks or entire windows repaired, because Auto Glass Guys accepts auto insurance and will many times waive the deductible or give reduced prices for those without insurance.

Auto Glass Guys just added two more pages to their website to help inform people about all aspects of replacing and repairing auto glass.

http://www.autoglassguysnm.com/windshield-repair-albuquerque-nm/
http://www.autoglassguysnm.com/windshield-repair-albuquerque

"I want people to know how important it is to have a quality windshield or glass installed in their vehicle. This could save the lives of you or your family. This is about safety, not just trying to save a nickel by calling the cheapest place in town."

"Auto Glass Guys will never sacrifice safety, yet we often do have some of the lowest rates in town. The bottom line is we want you to be informed and make the right decision," says Dennis.

(PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Among many certifications, all Rocket steel buildings proudly carry CSA-A660 certification http://www.rocketsteelcanada.com/aboutus.htm, "Certification of Manufacturers of Steel Building Systems." Aztec Steel Buildings, Inc., the manufacturing facility for Rocket Steel Buildings Canada, received CSA-A660 recertification for their pre-engineered steel buildings http://www.rocketsteelcanada.com/features.htm on March 7, 2013 following an annual audit by Quasar, a division of the Canadian Welding Bureau.

The certificate assures the customer that their steel building http://www.rocketsteelcanada.com/buildings.htm meets all of the criteria set-up in the CSA-A660 Standard, including the consistent capabilities of the manufacturer's production facilities, staff and quality assurance systems to provide quality steel building production. The annual audit of this standard covers the following criteria: personnel; design and engineering; materials control; fabrication; warehousing, packaging and shipping; erection responsibility and a plant quality program.

Rocket Steel Buildings Canada http://www.rocketsteelcanada.com/ continues to comply with and exceed applicable building codes and design standards. The end result is a quality steel building, customer protection and ultimately product satisfaction.

Small business sees big return on employee health coaching program

$

Indianapolis  (PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- NPP Graphics, like many small employers, has faced ridiculous health insurance premium increases over the last several years. In 2011, when the renewal increase came in at 53%, NPP owner, Bill Ruch knew something had to change.

After consulting with their benefits broker, Mark Thornton, with First Merchants, NPP decided it was time to address the health of their employees and their families, along with the health care decisions the plan participants were making. Company owner and president, Bill Ruch comments, "Our people are our most important asset and differentiator. We had to do something to help them become healthier and smarter health care consumers for everyone's benefit."

Two aggressive changes were implemented in hopes of becoming a healthier workforce; a single high deductible health plan and a health coaching program with American Health Network. Communication and incentives were key components to drive engagement in the programs.

Early on employees engaged with the nurse health coach and health care advocate for help understanding their new benefit plan and to earn the incentive of dollars in their health savings account. By the end of the year, employees had a personal relationship with the health coach. Several employees were well on their way to making healthier lifestyle choices - eating fruits and vegetables, eliminating soda, exercising consistently, taking medication as directed and visiting their doctor for an annual physical.

Liz, the Dietician Health Coach with American Health Network, shared, "Employees never miss an appointment with me. They look forward to reporting their progress and learning new tips for staying on course. The real difference in our program is it's not one program for all. Every person has a different health goal and we are here to help them achieve that and maintain it for life."

Fast forward one year. The NPP health plan renewal was 5.2%, something the group had never seen before. Prior to sharing the good news, Ruch asked employees to complete a short survey about the health coaching program. While he believed the program was successful and the primary reason for the relief in medical trend, he wanted to see how employees felt. Over 97% of the employees reported that the onsite coach and health care advocate had changed their life for the better. Employees not only answered the survey they went out of their way to share personal stories with Ruch about how their health had changed as a result of working with the coach. One employee told of how he had reestablished time for himself which led to getting adequate sleep and exercise. Another shared their poor eating habits prior to the coach, "daily drive thru" and has since traded in the cheeseburger for healthy brown bag options. Probably the most significant story was one of a diabetic employee who was disregarding his health completely by not taking medication, not eating well, exercising or getting the proper amount of rest. By helping this employee get back on track with meds and a healthy lifestyle, the costs avoided exceed $12,000.

Tracy Minor, Wellness Manager with American Health Network gives her take on the success with NPP, "It's all about the human connection. Employees and spouses finally have a resource to help navigate them through this complicated health care system and someone to help them make better decisions for themselves in a very personal way."

When the question was asked of employees whether NPP should continue offering the health coaching program, the answer was a resounding "Yes!"

Ruch realizes another 5.2% health plan renewal may not be in the cards again this year, but stands confident knowing his employees have been forever changed by the health coaching program. The culture of NPP Graphics will never be the same and in this case that is a very good thing.

Dr. Todd Pizzi Travels to Guatemala to Aid Locals

(PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Dr. Todd Pizzi of Modern Dentistry of Shrewsbury and Stoughton Dental Group recently returned from a volunteer trip in which he offered his time, expertise, skills, and a generous donation to the people of Peronia, Guatemala. The organization that made this all possible is the Open Wide Foundation.

Dr. Pizzi was made aware of the Open Wide Foundation through his involvement with Spear Education; an innovative dental education company. They serve to aid dentists striving for clinical excellence, while transforming their practice and lives of their patients. Spear Education has allowed Dr. Pizzi to share his expertise regarding TMJ, cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry with other dentists, nationally.

The Open Wide Foundation's mission is to make a significant, measurable and lasting change in the state of oral health in impoverished communities worldwide. The organization has an established clinic in Peronia, Guatemala.

Embarking on his first international volunteer experience, he spent a week in the town of Peronia, providing basic dental care to the people of the town. Having begun his career on a Navajo Reservation, Dr. Pizzi knows the importance of volunteering to aid the efforts in impoverished countries.

In Peronia, there is a great need for dentistry; over half of the country is living below the national poverty line. Access to quality health care is scarce, leading to rising numbers of deaths from preventable diseases and malnutrition. Children and infants are the most effected.

Dr. Pizzi spent four days in the clinic and another two exploring the region. He was able to form life-long relationships and create unforgettable memories. His entire donation assisted with the provision of dental supplies and the general upkeep of the clinic where he volunteered.

Dr. Pizzi is elated he had the opportunity to help the people of Peronia, Guatemala.

Vancouver, Wash (PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Share will host an open house at the new Share Fromhold Service Center, 2306 NE Andresen Road, on Friday, March 22, 1:30 to 4 p.m.

"It's been a little over four years since we purchased the former Timberlanes bowling alley and we are absolutely thrilled to have the renovations completed and to have officially opened the Share Fromhold Service Center," said Diane McWithey, Executive Director of Share. "All told, it's been a five year journey to get here with nearly $5.5 million raised. We are delighted to have the doors of our new building open, here in the heart of Vancouver, to serve men, women and children who are in need of food, shelter, housing, compassion and hope."

Board President Peter Fels will open the event at 1:30, followed by guest speakers, a ribbon cutting and self-guided tours of the service center. Guest speakers include Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt and Marcia Fromhold, wife of the late Bill Fromhold, after whom the building is named. Refreshments will be provided.

The 23,000-square foot building houses the Share ASPIRE staff offices, Share Outreach program, Share Housing & Essential Needs program, Share Volunteer Center, Share administrative offices, classrooms, a children's play area and a 5,430 square-food warehouse for Share's Backpack & Holiday Cheer programs, plus storage space for donations.

The service center is energy-efficient meeting the "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified" silver standard for saving energy and money.

The Service Center will be debt free once all the entrance bricks have been sold. Share welcomes donations from the public through their 'One Brick at a Time' Brick Paver Campaign.

The Share Fromhold Service Center honors former State Rep. Bill Fromhold, who passed away in September 2011. Bill and his wife, Marcia, were long-time supporters of Share. As chair of the House Capital Budget Committee, Bill was instrumental in encouraging his fellow committee members to support inclusion of Share and similar organizations, such as food banks, emergency shelters and mental health counseling facilities in the 2009 statewide capital budget proposal. This resulted in a $1.4 million allocation to Share, which was used toward the purchase of the former Timberlanes building.

Warren, New Jersey  (PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Peluso Landscaping Inc., a leading New Jersey landscape installation firm, today announced its sponsorship participation in SolarCure's new and unique Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ program. Peluso Landscaping was established in 1935 by the current proprietor Angelo Peluso's grandfather, and specializes in both commercial landscape and residential landscape installations. Along with fellow New Jersey-based business SolarCure, being part of the Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ program will ensure that Peluso Landscaping can be branded as a "green" company both in and out of the yard. The company's sponsorship helps provide green energy to a designated area non-profit organization via the utilization of solar panels that would otherwise not be available. Other New Jersey businesses involved with this highly beneficial program include Ezra Sutton P.A. and O'Donnell Insurance Agency.

How the Adopt-A-Solar-Panel Program Works
Generous organizations sponsor a solar panel by purchasing a panel or a portion of one through SolarCure's Adopt-A-Solar-Panel program. The panel is designed and installed for a specific non-profit organization. A designated non-profit organization will use energy generated through solar panels and the money saved through decreased energy bills can be put to better use towards their mission.

The sponsor will also receive nationwide publicity of their sponsorship through SolarCure's expertly written online press releases. Each press release is enhanced with Solar Powered SEO™ for search engine optimization (SEO), which has been proven to increase Internet traffic, improve search engine listings and bring other benefits when associated with green branding. Such brands greatly appeal to consumers who are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment. This unique selling point may additionally boost corporate image and public awareness. SolarCure's Adopt-a-Solar-Panel™ program assists both non-profit organizations and area sponsors in a unique manner designed to create a "win-win-win" situation for those involved - the sponsor, the non-profit, and the environment.

Prolexic Releases DNS Reflection Attack White Paper

$

0

(PRBuzz.com) March 19, 2013 -- Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that it has released the first of several white papers about Distributed Reflection Denial of Service (DrDoS) attacks. DrDoS attacks, an attack method which has been used for more than a decade, have recently surged in popularity across a broad range of industries.

In this white paper, prepared by the Prolexic Security Engineering and Response Team (PLXsert) discusses and analyzes DNS Reflection attacks. The DNS Reflection DrDoS technique exploits security weaknesses in the Domain Name System (DNS) Internet protocol, an important Internet feature that allows the public to type in human-friendly domain names instead of numerical IP addresses to access websites.

In this type of attack, a cyberattacker leverages zombie computers in a botnet to send domain name requests to DNS servers in a way that causes DNS servers to send a flood of responses to a targeted domain. This kind of DrDoS attack can overwhelm and slow response times - or completely stop legitimate user access - and affects both the DNS servers and the targeted domain.

A DNS Reflection attack is relatively easy for cybercriminals to launch, and takes advantage of security loopholes in the DNS protocol, PLXsert warns. What's more, it is difficult to pinpoint the source of a reflected DDoS attack, offering anonymity to the attacker.

"DNS Reflection DrDoS attacks are an overlooked but dangerous DDoS attack method," said Stuart Scholly, Prolexic President. "Prolexic is releasing this white paper to help make DNS server administrators, IT administrators and business leaders aware of this potential security threat against their networks. In addition, the white paper can help victims understand the technical details of what took place, so they can more quickly mitigate these kinds of DDoS attacks in the future."

The DNS Reflection Attack white paper explains DNS and how an attacker exploits the protocol to cause an outage. The white paper is available free of charge at www.prolexic.com/drdos.

About the Prolexic Security Engineering & Response Team (PLXsert)
PLXsert monitors malicious cyber threats globally and analyzes DDoS attacks using proprietary techniques and equipment. Through data forensics and post attack analysis, PLXsert is able to build a global view of DDoS attacks, which is shared with customers. By identifying the sources and associated attributes of individual attacks, the PLXsert team helps organizations adopt best practices and make more informed, proactive decisions about DDoS threats.

Details of Prolexic's DDoS mitigation activities and insights into the latest tactics, types, targets and origins of global DDoS attacks are provided in quarterly reports published by the company. A complimentary copy of Prolexic's Q4 2012 Global DDoS Attack Report is available at www.prolexic.com/attackreports.

About Prolexic
Prolexic is the world's largest, most trusted Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation provider. Able to absorb the largest and most complex attacks ever launched, Prolexic restores mission-critical Internet-facing infrastructures for global enterprises and government agencies within minutes.
