“Smart grid and smart metering introduce access control, network and application security concerns at and beyond the meter,” explained Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software, who is scheduled to speak at the conference








Sacramento, CA Utilities need to “go beyond simple ’smart meter’ initiatives to the process of using less energy” according to a study released by the nonprofit American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). PERI Software Solutions Inc., a global business solutions company agrees. PERI is participating in the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Conference in Sacramento July 18 – 21, 2010, at the Sacramento Convention Center.            
“Research shows that 60 percent of the electricity generated in this country is lost to inefficiencies, and the fact that smart grid technology is green and substantially enhances grid efficiency through improved outage detection and response helps utility customers feel good about saving energy,” said Sarav Periasamy, president and CEO, PERI Software. Periasamy is scheduled to speak at 11:15 AM, Sunday, July 18th, on “Cost Effective Solutions for Smart Grid.”
             "Smart Grid technology transforms the way utilities can deliver power to customers, but we need to educate and explain in layman’s terms just how it works,” he said.
            PERI Software is the only certified minority business enterprise in the U.S. with an end-to-end smart grid solution. The company, based in Newark, NJ, can provide both its own smart grid advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart meter technology and software platform  or PERI can act as systems integrators on any smart grid platform, regardless of technology.

Angelina Jolie and Salt imitate a real spy case in progress


Angelina Jolie stars in Salt, a contemporary action thriller from Columbia Pictures.
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?"
Visit http://www.WhoIsSalt.com/

  This movie is very timely, due to the fact that  the  SALT trailer became available about the  time that  the Spy Ring was broken up.
 The media says it was  beauty that brought  down the Russian spy ring.
 A nervous Anna Chapman's phone call to her  father in Moscow lit a fire under federal  investigators, and sparked the arrests of her  and her fellow secret agents, the Washington  Post reports.
 Federal officials were starting to round up the  suspected spies in early June, and were  monitoring the movements of several  members of the elaborate ring, when the alarming phone call occurred.
According to the report, Chapman became suspicious after a meeting with an FBI informant, who misled her as to who he was and then asked her to perform a task that was more elaborate than her usual missions.

This movie should play big in Russia in the   worldwide release. Here's the global showings

Michael Lohan Drops the F Word live on Fox TV News upset with coverage of his daughter Lindsay Lohan's DUI and Probation Sentencing

Just when we thought we had heard it all on Television, along comes a family of celebs that may have cross the lined in describe the thoughts verbally and visually.
First Lindsay Lohan gets grilled in court, cries when she hears a mandatory 90 days in jail for breaking probation not once, but twice. And as the TV news anchors would say.. NOW THIS...

After Lindsay Lohan is caught with F--K U vividly painted on her fingernails and labeled the judge who threw the book at her a "F------G  King Bitch", her Pops popped a real eye opener live on Fox News.









The live interview was not blipped on "Studio B" with Fox TV News Anchor Shepard smith when Michael Lohan blurted out "F- -K" live on the air when Smith had asked him why he was going on television and partying the same night his daughter had been sent to the slammer for three months.

"I don't think a lot of parents understand the way you conduct yourself," Smith said. Referring to pictures of Lohan smiling at a restaurant, he said, "I think a lot of [people] are probably saying, you know, if you'd done half this much to try to help your daughter..."
Seconds later Daddy Lohan let loose on the family network news channel, but apologized after
the F bomb slipped through the censors at Fox.

How do you feel about this interview - who went too far - TV Broadcaster Smith or Michael Lohan?

Nonstop action in new comedy "Night and Day Movie" - also featuring Cpt. Dale Dye




After reading all the bad reviews on Mr Top Gun Tom Cruise's and Cameron Diaz's new movie, I was headed to see a different flick, but it was packed, so I opted for  the new action movie. Yea, everyone gave it mixed reviews, but I think that's because they were looking for missing impossible and older movies of Cameron Diaz.


Diaz was just as sexy in this movie as she was in all her movies a decade ago, and I didn't realize how natural, and how much drama she could bring to the stage until I saw in her action, and not just on a motorcycle. She played the big, dumb sexy blond, but she also revealed why like her.                                                                                                  Cameron Diaz

The last time I saw "Cameron Michelle Diaz" in There's Something About Mary, I knew she was going to be a silver screen hottie. By the way Ben Stillera plays "Ted" and Matt Dillon were in that movie in 1998, where a man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl from high school, even though his date with her then was a complete disaster. Ted was a high school geek, who was going to the prom with one of the most popular girls in the school.                                                                                                                                  
The prom date never happened, because Ted had a very unusual accident. 13 years later he realizes he's still in love with Mary, so he hires a private investigator to track her down. The investigator discovers he too may be in love with Mary, so he gives Ted some false info to keep Ted away from Cameron Diaz.                                                                                              
I thought the film was great, lots of action, hilarious comedy and some pretty bold stunts in the movie for a Diaz. She was just as sexy as she was 10 years ago, and Cruise appear fit, and just as cocky, but just as fast as he was in mission Impossible.

I went in with an open mind and only seeing a partiable trailer so I was not prepared for the action nor the slapstick humorous drama scenes. What I really loved was the venue. It was filmed on location in Europe, and wow the places that were destroyed and the scenes were awesome.

The biggest surprise later in the movie was Captain Dale Dye Knight and Day (2010) .... Frank Jenkins, who I have met personally and who is the same guy on camera and behind the camera (Band of Brothers). I was hoping for a longer role, because Dye is very natural No Better Place to Die (details only on IMDbPro), Larry Crowne (2011) (post-production), Falling Skies (2010) (TV) (post-production) "Entourage" .... Firearms Instructor / ... (3 episodes, 2005-2010)

It's not a perfect film, but hey I'm not a perfect critic or movie goer. I usually go to watch and be entertained like everyone else. If we looked at every film from a technical perspective, we wouldn't enjoy it. It would be called a theater assignment not a movie, right?


I've always liked Cruise and Diaz movies, and I get tired of seeing the same folks in the same new movies like Sam Worthington, Damaged, Quartermain ,The Last Days of American Crime, Dracula Year Zero, Man on a Ledge,The Candidate (details only on IMDbPro), This Means War (2011) (pre-production, The Fields (2011/II) (post-production), The Debt (2010/I) (completed), Last Night (2010), Clash of the Titans (2010), Avatar (2009) and the Terminator Salvation (2009) and Megan Fox, (Fathom (2011),The Crossing  (in production),Passion Play (2010) (post-production), Jonah Hex (2010),Lilah, Jennifer's Body (2009),Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). 

Don't get me wrong I love both of these actors in feature and action movies, they just happen to be blockbuster, or is it just me. Maybe it's the studios like Warner Bros or Directors of blockbuster movies that get them young, early and inexpensive before their careers take off and make big bucks.

Okay, you're right Cruise and Diaz also were in many big movies, too, so let's just enjoy them for what they are, entertainment and stop being so critical at the movies. It's not an easy job acting, directing and producing. Everything can go wrong and does go wrong. More later.
