Romney's Praise Of Gingrich Leads Fox Anchor To Call Politics 'Weird, Creepy'
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith provided the sure-to-go-viral moment of the day with some commentary he made after he read aloud a statement issued by the Mitt Romney campaign after Newt Gingrich officially ended his campaign Wednesday for the GOP nomination.
Smith said:
"Mitt Romney has released a statement on the departure of Newt Gingrich from the campaign. It reads in part: 'Ann and I are proud to call Newt and Callista friends. We look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.' That from Mitt Romney.
"Politics is weird and creepy and now I know lacks even the loosest attachment to anything like reality."
Saying pleasant things about one's political adversary who just a few short weeks earlier was ripping you apart as you returned the favor might be the accepted thing for the ultimate victor in a contest to do in politics. But Smith was clearly in no mood for it.

An encryption and authentication technique that achieves enhanced integrity verification through assured error-propagation using a multistage sequence of pseudorandom permutations. The present invention generates intermediate data-dependent cryptographic variables at each stage, which are systematically combined into feedback loops. The encryption technique also generates an authentication tag without any further steps that is N times longer than the block size where N is the number of pseudorandom permutations used in the encipherment of each block. The authentication tag provides a unique mapping to the plaintext for any number of plaintext blocks that is less than or equal to N. In addition to being a stand alone encryption algorithm, the disclosed technique is applicable to any mode that uses pseudorandom permutations such as, key dependent lookup tables, S-Boxes, and block ciphers such as RC5, TEA, and AES.

The present invention claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/704,507, filed on Aug. 1, 2005, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
This invention relates generally to the field of information handling and more specifically to a method and system for data compression and encryption. It has special relevance to telemetry applications. The original concept called for this invention to be used in airborne and space-born environment but it is equally valid for terrestrial telemetry bandwidth management and security needs.
The security of information poses challenges for businesses and other organizations that transmit and store information. Data encryption is intended to transform data into a form readable only by authorized users. Bandwidth for over the air transmission is also a serious concern.
This device is designed to reduce the bandwidth needed to send data over communications links. Loss-less compression is used to compress telemetry. Loss-less compression reconstitutes data mathematically identical to the original data set. Different packets of data compress differently under loss-less compression. The normal procedure is to allow the output bandwidths to vary in an asynchronous manner. In certain special circumstance the output must be synchronous. In these cases the left over space in the signal is normally "back filled" with zeros. The advent of variable quality lossy compression allows more useful alternatives that to back fill with zeros. Lossy compression, upon reconstitution, is not mathematically identical to the original data, hence it's name. Video data can be compressed to fill in the available bandwidth and still allow the signal to be synchronous.
Design Considerations
In order to design a hardware device to integrate directly with the existing telemetry and transmission systems onboard the interceptor airframe, several design factors must be considered:
Overall device size—The device must fit within the limited space available within the interior of the missile airframe.
Device weight—As with all flight systems, weight is of considerable importance since it impacts performance.
Low latency—The device must contain a fast enough processor so as not to delay the transmission of critical information.
Low power consumption—There is only a finite amount of electrical power available on board the missile so this application must be considered power-constrained.
Thermal regulation—As with all high-speed electronic processors, this one will generate heat. The management and dissipation for heat must be considered in device design.
Vibration, physical stress—The interior of a missile during launch and boost phase is best characterized as an inhospitable mix of strong vibration at various frequencies and intense compression stresses in rapidly changing planes.
Tamper resistance—As with all military cryptographic devices, the crypto hardware must be highly resistant to tampering and reverse engineering.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and for further features and advantages, reference is now made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and for further features and advantages, reference is now made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
To make compression ordinarily used for static data-sets work in a dynamic environment, it is necessary to cheat. The flow of data as it is compressed and encrypted as depicted below in
Data is received from a secondary source such as video at step 204. There may be one or more video or other data sources. Video can be a single frame (still image), motion video, or other secondary source of information (i.e. anything that can be described in a wave-like nature). This information is moved to an input buffer at step 206. This information is fed into a lossy compression engine at step 218. This step may use any suitable algorithm or algorithms and may have its compression parameters varied from buffer to buffer. At step 220 the data is prepared for further processing. It is added to other data already compressed. Step 220 also sets up and compares a compression threshold to establish compression goals that are used in step 222 to adjust the lossy compression parameters used in step 218. Any suitable control or feedback mechanism can be used in step 222. At step 226 the intermediate data is sent into the encryption engine, this may use any suitable encryption algorithm and return an encrypted buffer. At step 238 a HASH function is performed if necessary to ensure the integrity of the data. At step 230 the data is ready to be placed in the output stream.
For given telemetry and video compression engines, the only thing that the system can do to control the bit-rate of the output stream is to vary the video quality and thereby indirectly affect the size of compressed video. This control mechanism is described below.
There are three main factors in the system that cause variability in the bit-rate and whose effect must be accounted for:
To minimize the effects of (3) above, the preferred embodiment will run the feedback loop at the video codec output rate (i.e. once per ADV202 frame). To control for (1) and (2) above, an error function is computed as:
Using the equation for the error above, the desired video quality can then be expressed as:
This present invention does not expect to take advantage of knowledge of de(t)/dt. Use of this could cause the video to track the fluctuations in telemetry compression too closely. It is expected to place more emphasis on the integral of the error resulting in more "smooth" changes to video quality.
If the desired message size is 100 bytes and the intention is to send only 2 messages, then the perfect system would send 2 messages each containing 100 bytes. But in the extreme case that message 1 contains only 10 bytes, then the remaining 90 bytes would normally be filled with all 0s (or sent out as IDLE frames), and the excess message capacity would be lost forever. Since the unused 90 bytes are not remembered for use in the next message, the target size for message 2 would again be the desired size of 100 (for a total of only 110 bytes, with 90 unused bytes). Conversely, if message 1 contained 190 bytes, then the target size for message 2 would still be the desired size of 100 for a total of 290 bytes; with 90 bytes of latency introduced before message 2 is sent.
In this preferred embodiment, example one would correlate to the case of highly compressible telemetry data and insufficient video data to fill up the excess bandwidth. This case will pose no latency problems because all available data flows straight through the system. In other words, every chunk of telemetry data that flows into the system is processed and sent out before the next chunk is received. Example two would correlate to the case of telemetry data that does not compress well. This case will introduce a latency issue. The first part of the telemetry data will flow straight through the system as in example one. But the tail end of the telemetry data will not be sent out until after the next chunk is received.
It is expected that the telemetry data will compress well enough so that this latency issue will not become a system problem. There may be chunks of the telemetry data that don't compress well, which will cause a small amount of latency to occur. But it is expected that the number of uncompressible chunks will be small, so that the total latency does not continue to expand and generate a system failure.
In order to make this invention adaptable for a variety of uses with minimum customization cost, the invention was divided into two discreet functional units. The processing board would contain the main processor, memory and power supply. The I/O board would contain all the necessary components for the various inputs and outputs. This will allow the implementation new I/O configurations at a fraction of the cost of a complete redesign. The functional modules and their major components are shown in
One technique might be to "pad" the signal with zeros or random data but there are better uses for precious bandwidth. Secondary sensor data, such as video from external cameras, can be compressed and sent asynchronously in the green data bands. One special characteristic of lossy compression techniques such as 2D and 3D wavelet image compression is their "tune-ability."
Several members of the wavelet class of algorithms have compression ratios as a parameter variable in real time. Video, or any other data can be compressed in a lossy manner, can be sized to exactly fit within the available bandwidth created by loss-lessly compressing the telemetry data. This way synchronicity of the telemetry data is maintained and additional useful information is passed down.
Possible uses for asynchronous data downlink:
External video feed showing surface of airframe
IR targeting sensor feed
Acoustical vibration measurements from airframe
Any other data that has a wavelike structure is a good candidate for wavelet compression
The compression achieved over the vast majority of the flight would allow the asynchronous transmission of additional data and the security of the transmission would be dramatically enhanced.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a system for data compression system comprises an input operable to receive a plurality of data and or video in appropriate format, a memory operable to store a incoming data and program instructions, a processor coupled to the memory and to the input and operable to repeat the following for subsequent data elements: establish or load a compression threshold goal, input a data element compress data with loss-less compression, ensure that the data compressed with the loss-less algorithm is less than the threshold goal, place the compressed data in an output buffer, input secondary data that can be compressed with a lossy algorithm, compress the secondary data with a lossy algorithm and fit it into the space between the loss-less compressed data and the threshold.
In the system, a feedback algorithm is used to adjust the quality level of the lossy compression algorithm, wherein multiple loss-less compression algorithms are supported, wherein multiple lossy compression algorithms are supported, wherein multiple data inputs are supported, wherein multiple video inputs are supported, wherein the input/output module is replaceable for various operational requirements, wherein the compressed data is encrypted prior to output, wherein the combined loss-less and lossy data has a synchronous output bit-rate after compression and encryption, and wherein multiple encryption algorithms are supported.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a system for data compression and encryption comprises one or more inputs that receive at least one of: data and video, a memory that stores the received data and video, a processor coupled to the memory and to the input that repeats the following for subsequent data elements: establish a compression threshold, input and compress a data element with loss-less compression, place the compressed data element in a transit buffer, input a secondary data element that can be compressed with a lossy compression, compress the secondary data element with the lossy compression, and integrate the compressed secondary data element into a space between the loss-less compressed data element and the threshold.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, a method comprises combining lossy compressed data and loss-lessly compressed data into a single output data stream. The method comprises dynamically adjusting a lossy compression related to the lossy compressed data, encrypting the output data stream, performing a hash function on the output data stream.
Although an exemplary embodiment of the system of the present invention has been illustrated in the accompanied drawings and described in the foregoing detailed description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications, and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth and defined by the following claims. For example, the capabilities of the invention can be performed fully and/or partially by one or more of the elements. Also, these capabilities may be performed in the current manner or in a distributed manner and on, or via, any device able to provide and/or receive information. Further, although depicted in a particular manner, various modules or blocks may be repositioned without departing from the scope of the current invention. Still further, although depicted in a particular manner, a greater or lesser number of modules and connections can be utilized with the present invention in order to accomplish the present invention, to provide additional known features to the present invention, and/or to make the present invention more efficient. Also, the information sent between various modules can be sent between the modules via at least one of a wireless source, and a wired source and via plurality of protocols.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
10 Sep 2010 21:44 GMT | US & Canada, Latin America, Mexico, United States
At least 70 inmates have escaped from a jail in the northeast of Mexico, on the border with the United States.
Prisoners in the city of Reynosa in the state of Tamaulipas fled the jail without any violence occurring, according to a state government official.
"We know that at least some 70 prisoners escaped from the Reynosa prison, we don't know how many exactly, but we can say there was no violence during the escape," the official, who asked not to be named, told the AFP news agency.
The official said that those who escaped had been held for crimes including drug trafficking.
Tamaulipas borders the US state of Texas and has seen some of the worst of Mexico's drug violence.
The state is fought over by gangs for control as a drugs route to the US.
The main two drugs cartels in the region, the formerly allied Zetas and Gulf Cartel, have raised violence levels there recently as the fight for prominence escalates.
Mexcian jails themselves are known for being often controlled by drugs gangs and see frequent prisoner escapes, often with the help of complicit prison authorities.
Another Reynosa prison suffered an escape of 13 prisoners with the help of armed attackers in April.
In March a jail in Matamoros, also in Tamaulipas, was the scene of a jailbreak of 41 prisoners, along with two guards.
In Zacatecas, northern Mexico, 53 inmates aided by prison guards and an armed group, fled a prison last year.

BMC Cancer 2012, 12:399 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-12-399Published: 8 September 2012
To evaluate the prognostic significance of the pre-operative C-reactive protein (CRP) serum level in patients with renal cell cancer (RCC).
We evaluated 1,161 RCC patients with complete patient and tumour specific characteristics as well as information about their pre-operative CRP-level, who had undergone either radical nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery at two German high-volume centres (University Hospitals of Hannover and Ulm). The mean follow-up was 54 months.
The CRP-level, stratified to three subgroups (CRP ≤ 4, 4–10, and >10 mg/l), correlated significantly with tumour stage (p < 0.001), the risk of presenting nodal disease (2.1, 3.1, and 16.4%) and distant metastasis (2.9, 8.6, and 30.0%; p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier 5-year cancer specific survival (CSS) rates were 89.4, 77.9, and 49.5%, respectively (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified CRP as an independent prognosticator for CSS as well as overall survival (p < 0.001). Patients with a CRP of 4–10 and >10 mg/l had a 1.67 and 2.48 fold higher risk of dying due to their RCC compared to those with a pre-operative CRP ≤4 mg/l, respectively.
A high preoperative serum CRP level is an independent predictor of poor survival in patients with RCC. Its routine use could allow better risk stratification and risk-adjusted follow-up of RCC patients.

Lodi (Creedence Clearwater Revival song)
|Single by Creedence Clearwater Revival
|from the album Green River
|"Bad Moon Rising"
|April 1969
|March 1969, Wally Heider's Studio, San Francisco, California
|Roots rock, swamp rock
|2:21 single version, 3:10 album version
|John Fogerty
|John Fogerty
"Lodi" is a song written by John Fogerty and performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Recorded in March 1969, It was released in April, four months before the album, as the B-side of "Bad Moon Rising", the lead single from Green River.[1]
The song describes the plight of a down-and-out musician whose career has landed him playing a gig in the small town of Lodi (pronounced "low-die"), a small agricultural city in California's Central Valley about 70 miles from Fogerty's hometown of Berkeley. After playing in local bars, the narrator finds himself stranded and unable to raise bus or train fare to leave.[1] Fogerty later said he had never actually visited Lodi before writing this song, and simply picked it for the song because it had "the coolest sounding name."[2] However, the song unquestionably references the town's reputation as an uninteresting farm settlement, although the narrator does not mention any specific complaints. The song's chorus, "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again," has been the theme of several city events in Lodi.[2]
The song's arrangement includes a change of key in the final verse of the track, emphasising the melancholy drama of the lyric, "If I only had a dollar for every song I sung...."[1]
Cover versions[edit]
The song has been covered by many musicians including Tesla, Emmylou Harris, Tom Jones, Buck Owens, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Ronnie Hawkins, Smokie, Dan Penn, Al Wilson, The Blue Aeroplanes, Tim Armstrong, Korean band the Key Brothers and Bo Diddley, among others.[3]
Songwriter's assessment[edit]
Fogerty stated, "On 'Lodi', I saw a much older person than I was, 'cause it is sort of a tragic telling. A guy is stuck in a place where people really don't appreciate him. Since I was at the beginning of a good career, I was hoping that that wouldn't happen to me."[4]

Happy 4th of July
We will have our regular daily Masses in the Chapel on Friday, July 3.
Since this is the observed holiday for our staff, there will be no Adoration that day.
We pray for a very happy and safe holiday!
Welcome to St. Mary's!
St. Mary's is a diverse and vibrant faith community that believes and professes the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the living tradition of the Catholic Church. Our mission is to form loving disciples who will transform the world. All are welcome!
Whether you are new to our parish or have been a long-time member, you are welcome. Last year we celebrated our 200th Anniversary. St. Mary's has strong roots in the Rockville area and serves as a spiritual oasis for the more than 7000 parishioners.
Experientially deepen your prayer life through studying Section Four of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Each week, a section of the Catechism's course on prayer will be explained and discussed by Deacon Barry Levy in the rectory basement
from 8:00-8:45 PM, followed by fifteen minutes in the Presence of our Lord in the historic St. Mary's Chapel.
— 33-Day Consecration —
"Reading this book was to be a turning point in my life."—St. JPII
Why: Just as Jesus came into the world through the Virgin Mary, so we come to Christ through the help of our Blessed Mother. St. Montfort called Mary the "safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus."
What: Marian consecration is a renewal of one's baptismal promises. St. Montfort provides a schedule of 33 days of prayers. The prayers take only about ten minutes, in addition to saying a rosary some days. The weekly discussion and lecture series will outline Montfort's method as he explained it in The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, as well as other aspects of Marian devotion. On the 34th day, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16), participants make their act of consecration to Jesus through Mary.
When and Where: The first talk will be on Monday, June 8, at 7pm in the parish hall. It is a weekly series. If you miss the first talk, don't worry. You can always begin your personal consecration at another time and complete the consecration on another Marian feast day. Materials: Prayer booklets and other materials will be provided. But if you would like to get started now and learn more about the consecration please purchase St. Montfort's book today. It's available online as well as through many Catholic booksellers. Some copies will also be available at each lecture.
Questions: Please contact the rectory (301-424-5550) if you have any further questions. Our summer seminarian, Nate Anderson, will be leading the discussion.
Already Consecrated: If you've completed the consecration, please consider contacting Nate and coming to share a few words about how it changed you.

Social Recruiting does not just revolve around Facebook!
I don't know about you, but I am getting a little fed up with the whole, 'Facebook is the total recruiting solution' hype that is flying around the recruiting space at the moment. The recruiting world DOES NOT revolve totally around Facebook!
This is going to sound strange coming from someone who lives this world, but while I fully understand the benefits that Facebook can bring to a company (especially after the latest Timeline changes), there is still a place that prospective employees and candidates want to go – and that is the 'humble' career site. If you read Bill Boorman's post on the end of career sites, he would have you believe that Facebook is the only way forward for companies for recruiting, and that career sites are dead. Well maybe in 5 years time, but there are many, many companies (and candidates) that have no intention of putting their main recruiting eggs (and job seeking eggs) in Zuckerbergs' basket just right now!
The notion that career sites are dead are certainly what some of the social websites would have you believe, but it isn't what the candidates are saying.Last year a huge survey of 30,000 jobseekers in Europe found that 80% candidates went to career sites for information about companies, and that 70% then wanted to interact with companies via their career site.
There is a problem however with career sites. They are mostly out of date, boring, uninspiring and most importantly have a recruitment process that will have you stabbing yourself in the eye with a pencil before you complete the application! When faced with this, Facebook looks positively amazing!
Career sites do need to change – they need to be much leaner in process, fatter in user experience and mobile friendly. Plugging in many of the social media sites to enhance this, is (for me) the way forward. Use the like of Facebook and Twitter for a customer services type engagement, Pinterest and YouTube for employer branding, a blog for sharing news and content and allow people to use LinkedIn to apply for jobs with their LinkedIn profile. And of course make it all mobile and tablet compatible!
The mistake most companies make is that they just assume that having a career site is enough – the crime is not reviewing it often enough, and realising there is SO MUCH MORE they can do to enhance the candidate experience. They should take a big look at how easy it is to apply for jobs on Facebook via apps like Work4Labs. Some recruitment systems new to the market like Smart Recruiters and Zartis are already plugged into this approach.
Going back to my starting point, there are some big reasons why Facebook has a long way to go to be the default career site for companies:
- Privacy. In Europe and the Middle East, for example, Facebook privacy is fiercly protected by candidates and the thought of using it for anything other than staying in contact with friends is a step too far for many people.
- SEO. Facebook is conspicuous by its absence in Google searches when you are searching for company job pages, career information etc. With candidates being very lazy (they use Google for finding career sites by name), this is a major factor.
- Homeplate syndrome. Facebook and the data is 'owned' by Facebook. A career site is your site, with the data and content being 'owned' by the company involved. Now before you start writing in the comments about big data ownership etc, bringing people back to a career site and having their contact details is still huge for many companies. (Whether they do anything with it is another story!)
- Shock! Not everyone has a Facebook profile. This may surprise you (or not) but there are still many people out there who don't go anywhere near Facebook, by choice and circumstance. Do you really want to preclude them?
- Reality check time. While the current movement towards using social media more in the recruitment process (aka social recruiting) is (IMHO) totally the way forward, there are way too many CEO's, CFO's and HRD's that have absolutely no intention to move totally to the social world – and for a good number, it won't even happen until retirement happens!!
I strongly believe that social recruiting is here to stay, and for some companies it may well suit them to base their recruitment solely in the Facebook camp – especialliy if that is where their target audience is. But for me is is all about a balanced integration.
Understand where in the social world your target recruitment audience is and then make sure you are present and active in that space. Then you make sure you integrate it into your existing recruitment strategy. But above all, if you are going to make the step into social in any way, please, please, please go and have a look at your career site first. Make the process leaner, the user experience fatter and make it mobile friendly.
These are not options, they are essential!

Great post Andy. Very much mirroring my own thoughts that I have little time to blog about at the minute!!
I was asked by a online marketing publication to provide some Facebook recruiting campaign examples that stood out as beacons for social media recruiting. Well there were 3 or 4 excellent ones, of course. Work4Labs are happy to share those. But what else? Not much.
The only good social media campaigns that are lasting are through integrated social activity and presence. Yep – that means getting involved in Google+ and Twitter, and LinkedIn as well as Facebook. I shudder at the thought of Pinterest being a social recruiting channel, or social business of any kind. But that's another story.
I use social media almost exclusively for recruiting, and Facebook is the least successful, though I will be trying some other ideas there that I as yet haven't.
Candidates ARE on job boards still. Better candidates ALSO (stress that) use open social networking and LinkedIn.
Reality is, in the UK, Facebook is still not on people's job seeking agenda. It is passive at best, and mainly driven by recommendation and sharing.
Thanks for quoting me, even if it was incorrectly. I haven't said career sites are dead, but I have pointed out that i know of a number of huge corporate businesses who are migrating their application process over to Facebook from their career site. Using apps, you don't actually need a Facebook account to apply, although in most countries, over 70% of the internet population have one. I don't think career sites are dead. I do however think you are going to see a big migration of activity from traditional career sites to fan pages. I'm surprised you haven't been having that very discussion with your clients. I know it has been a discussion point on the agenda of mine.

Facebook is definitely a recruiting channel Steve, but it depends on who your audience is and where they are. If they are on Facebook then it makes sense to use it.
But the word is integrated. Having a blend of social experiences for potential candidates is (for me) the only way forward.
Pinterest IS happening for recruitment Steve….. watch this space – I am just going to be kicking off a project with a client for some recruiting (and branding) on it!
http://profile.typepad.com/sironaconsult Andy Headworth
Thanks Bill for clarifying that.
Facebook is definitely part of the conversation I have with clients. Many clients (the ones I am working with currently anyway) still have an aversion to fully diving into FB. That will change in time. Career sites are still a massive part of the recruitment process – as long as they are engaging and integrated with social media correctly.
A debate you and I will have many time I am sure
Jacob Sten Madsen
After having read and heard what Bill Boorman has said on the subject of Twitter, I am convinced that Twitter is t h e most applicable channel. With the apps surrounding Twitter the opportunities are immense.

There was a spark, then a fire—and that was all it took for a community in Colorado to come together through social networking and make a difference.
Dubbed one of the most destructive fires in Colorado history, the blaze scorched over 6,000 acres and forced evacuations of 3,500 people in just a few days.
According to the Fourmile Heroes website:
"In order to share information about 2010 Fourmile Fire as it happened, we tweeted scanner reports, posted news reports, drove food to the volunteer firefighters and expressed our fears to one another. Meanwhile, the real heroes — firefighters and emergency workers — were busy saving lives."
But everyone wanted to do more.
So within a few hours of those initial tweets, Fourmile Heroes was born. An organization formed organically by residents who care, its mission is to support the firefighters of the Fourmile Fire with two goals in mind:
The organization is selling a limited edition artistic tribute poster to further support firefighting families and help rebuild the area.
All of the proceeds from the sale of items are donated to the Boulder County Firefighters Association Fund.
Fourmile Heroes is a great example of how easy it is for a community to create rapid, positive change.

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Lets see ... I'm active, except when I'm not. Have a bit of a car fetish but lets face it they are really cool and who does not love having all the toys. Having toys is also an excuse to have tools which becomes a fetish of their own. Travel for work some, well less now, but kind of "been everywhere" because of that. A home office/studio thing seems to have become an ad for the Apple store which I find alarming. It's a cult I tell you! They do however seem to make the best tools and like all tools I seem to be able to justify always needing more. Raised old school British and escaped the Commonwealth and a life trimmed in mahogany for the Colonies and men in tights (that's kind of a long story). It seemed like a good idea at the time (don't they all?). I can thus sit and enjoy a fine wine (do the Italians make a bad one?) while talking about market turns and ROI on XYZ but kind of rather guzzle Don Julio Anjo margaritas until no one is left standing to play. I'm ALWAYS on time (and kind of anal about time) and while capable of cooking with fire I'd much rather order a med rare fillet mignon, mushrooms sautéed in garlic butter, followed by a slice of pecan pie and an expresso. I have been know to run with scissors if not watched. I of course love long walks on the beach and holding hands but the drinks with umbrellas are a hazard and it is only a matter of time before someone puts an eye out with one of those. And an update: Having read some profiles (ya who thought anyone would do anything but look at the pictures) I'm confused as to what a typical Vegas girl is, mostly because everyone claims not be one. So not knowing what that is, I'm thus not sure if that is or is not what I'm looking for. What I am looking for is a partner in crime. I enjoy my life, parts of it would be fun to share, other parts ... like say vacuuming or sorting socks might be a lost cause and shared or not will kind of always suck. Extra points given if you know where the missing socks went. I laugh a lot, mostly at my self but I will mock you too so need someone who can give back as much as they take. Trust me, you won't hurt my feeling. I have no intention of being cruel or mean, just entertained. I'm not really a club guy. I mean I'll go and can have fun while there but not something I want to do every night. I work in the entertainment field (yes that's vague but the explanation is long and most people just kind of glaze over part way through anyways) so I spend lots of time in crowds and around loud that I don't always need to find either when not working. Yes the pictures are recent. No you can't braid my hair. Well unless you also have a Viking costume I can wear but even then I tend to get odd looks from people carrying a battle axe around. I also tend to get over zealous and forget you have to pillage BEFORE you burn .... so ya. I've also been know to be sarcastic ... or have I.

Possession of 10 grams or less of pot could soon get Marylanders a ticket and a $100 fine rather than an arrest and possible jail time.
On Tuesday, the Senate passed 30-16 a bill that decriminalizes possession of a small amount of marijuana, making it a civil offense punishable by a fine of up to $100.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Robert A. Zirkin (D-Baltimore County) builds on legislation from last year that reduced the punishment for carrying 10 grams — about two marijuana cigarettes — or less, though those convicted can still be sentenced to up to 90 days in jail.
Zirkin said the bill is intended to reduce the number of people being thrown into the justice system and in jail for minor possession offenses.
Those ticketed for possession would still have to appear in court, under the proposal.
Some, including Minority Leader Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-Upper Shore), raised concerns about what kind of message the state is sending to young people by decriminalizing small amounts of pot.
The bill now goes to the House to be considered by the Judiciary Committee.

The movie was fun. It wasn't a horrible flick my any means. The acting didn't make me want to leave, which is a definite plus for a horror movie. I
thought the computer graphics were impressive. The ghosts were definitely freaky, and yes, I jumped a few times. I rarely jump in horror films, but this one I did...more than once.There were times where it was predictable however. This didn't take away from the entertainment factor though. I mean, this film isn't going to win any Academy Awards for best picture or anything, but it was a fun film. If you're looking for something to do this Halloween, take your friends out to see it.

Thir13en Ghosts
Horror / Mystery
Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

Movie Reviews
A fun movie...
If you like the genre...
'Thir13en Ghosts' is a movie with lots of flashing images and loud sounds. Most of the time that is a little annoying, although there are moments it adds something to the scary events that happen. I am not a big fan of the horror-genre, although I can appreciate it when it is done good. Here you have no real story, but there are some real scares. Since it is about ghosts those things can turn up anytime and anywhere. One of the characters even explains that "they like to do that".
To explain the story would be quite pointless. What I can say is that a family without a mother but including dad Arthur (Tony Shalhboub), daughter Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth), son Bobby (Alec Roberts) and nanny Maggie (Rah Digga) inherits a strange house, created by their uncle Cyrus (F. Murray Abraham). We learn that Cyrus was a ghost hunter, of course with a purpose and a thirteenth ghost as the answer to a mystery, and that twelve ghosts are locked in the basement of the house. Two other characters are in the house as well. Dennis (Matthew Lillard) who sees future and past when he touches people and who used to work with Cyrus, and an opponent of Cyrus named Kalina (Embeth Davidtz). When the ghosts are unleashed they have to save themselves.
I realize I actually have told you the story, but that is not what this movie is about. What makes it at least interesting is the visual style of the movie. The house looks great, the effects and art direction are very admirable. That there is hardly time to notice that is a shame. The scares might be stupid but they work enough to make this a real horror movie. Yes, there are many flaws and things go terribly wrong near the end, but if you normally like these kind of movies, you must be able to enjoy 'Thir13en Ghosts'.
For fans of B-horror movies
I watched this movie last night, and I thought it was entertaining. Sure, it's a B-movie and has its flaws - it's a bit silly, it's not particularly horrifying (although I must admit no movie has scared me in 10-15 years, and I've watched quite a lot of horror flicks), it's a tad silly (Ghostbusters meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer?). But as B-horror movies go, this one is entertaining for those who like films with supernatural phenomena and people dying in "imaginative" ways. Actually, Thir13en Ghosts reminded me of one of my favourite films, The Cube. But that's just the reason I can't give a lot of points for this movie - there are better B-movies with which to entertain yourself. Cube-films sum up the better parts of the film and dispense with boring love-issues. But then again, there are heck of a lot more crappier films than this, and it was funny enough for me to even buy it for five or so euros in case I came across this in a store.
