SMPTE said there is an increasing awareness that audio-video synchronization errors in broadcasting, usually seen as problems with lip-sync, are occurring more frequently than they used to and often with greater magnitude.
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers S22 Committee on Television Systems Technology has formed an Ad Hoc Group on Lip Sync Issues to review all aspects of this problem and make recommendations for solutions.
SMPTE has issued a Request for Information from interested companies or individuals, particularly relating to sources of differential audio-video delay in television production, post-production, and distribution; audio-video delay issues through professional MPEG encoding and decoding systems; and differential audio-video delay arising in consumer receiver, decoding and display devices.
Also of interest is out-of-service methods of measuring differential audio-video delay; in-service (during program) methods of measuring differential audio-video delay; and devices for correcting differential audio-video delay at different points in the broadcast chain.
SMPTE said it is particularly interested to hear from manufacturers with practical solutions or proposals for measurement and correction of audio-video synchronization errors, and those willing to participate in development of related standards.
Responses should be sent to the ad hoc group chair, Graham Jones of NAB at: email@example.com or by calling 202-429 5345.

The man who saved the Gulf of Mexico during oil spill crisis... using a single picture from a mobile phone
The man who saved the Gulf? Scientist Paul Hsieh is seen in Menlo Park, California, at the USGS Science Cente yesterday
A single picture from a mobile phone camera may have saved the Gulf of Mexico from a few more weeks - if not months - of oil gushing from the BP well.
A new study from the presidential oil spill commission describes the behind-the-scenes, excruciating tension and mistakes behind the three-month effort to cap the busted well.
Amid the messy meetings, came details about a lone scientist working from a mobile phone photo who saved the day by convincing the government that a cap it considered removing was actually working as designed.
The cap that eventually stopped the oil from flowing was nearly pulled about a day after it was installed in mid-July because pressure readings looked so low that they indicated a leak elsewhere in the system.
BP wanted the cap left in place and the well to stay shut, but government science advisers were firm and near unanimous in wanting the cap removed because of fear of a bigger, more catastrophic spill, the report said.
One scientist took a cell phone picture of pressure readings and e-mailed it to a government researcher in California for advice.
Just using that cell phone photo, Paul Hsieh, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist, created a model to explain what was happening under the cap and how - despite low pressure readings - there was no leak.
He was convinced the containment cap wouldn't blow. He got more data, which bolstered his case.
Hsieh, a research hydrologist who normally works with water, labored through the night without the aid of caffeine. He stayed up all night triple checking calculations, going on adrenaline.
'I just knew a decision had to be made the next day,' he said.
'I had participated in the conference call. I had sensed the tension everyone had and that just kind of kept me going.'
Hsieh laid out his case and it persuaded the other scientists to wait.
At last: An image of the cap under the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. The image Hsieh used was described as a 'game changer'
The government waited six hours, then a day. Nothing happened. The cap held.
Hsieh turned out to be right.
Hsieh told The Associated Press that he was 'flattered that I was portrayed well,' but said others including Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who headed the scientific team, deserve the credit.
The picture Hsieh examined was 'a game changer,' said University of California at Berkeley professor Bob Bea, who analyzed the report for the AP.
'It also shows how in disarray we were,' Bea said.
Before the cap was put in place, officials had established pressure levels that would tell them whether everything was OK, there was trouble and the cap had to be removed immediately, or whether it was a wait-and-see situation.
The pressure readings were in the wait-and-see zone, but political appointees discussed it further and there was a push to remove the cap. Coast Guard Admiral Kevin Cook urged officials to give the cap more time, then Hsieh's analysis swayed them.
To Paul Fischbeck, a professor of decision science and engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, this part of the report was scary.
'It became a political decision that they didn't want to risk having this big blowout,' said Fischbeck, who wasn't part of the commission.
'You set up a logical reasonable process and in the heat of the moment all these factors creep in and it pulls you off what you had logically decided to do. And that is very dangerous when it happens.'
Both Bea and Fischbeck said they consider Hsieh a hero in a chaotic time.
More than anything the report pulled back the curtain on what happened during hectic times as 172 million gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf from April 20 to July 15.
The 39-page report faulted BP and the federal government for being unprepared for a well blowout, but then lauded them for scrambling for different fixes after the disaster.
The report painted a picture of chaotic meetings described by outsiders as disorganized and by insiders as 'akin to standing in a hurricane'.
And it criticized BP's constant underestimating of how much was spilling, dooming some fixes and possibly delaying the ultimate capping of the well.
Monday's draft report said some BP attempts to stop the gusher - especially the efforts dubbed Top Kill and Junk Shot - probably were doomed from the start. That's because BP had underestimated how much oil was spilling.
Before the cap: Oil can be seen spewing from the Deepwater Horizon well in another image taken during the crisis
That influenced the debate on whether to keep the successful cap in place. When Top Kill didn't work, instead of blaming too much oil, BP relied on smaller flow rates and faulted 'rupture disks' in the well casing.
The rupture-disk explanation was a factor for some scientists who worried that there would be an even bigger spill if the successful cap remained.
Both BP and the government were unprepared for capping a blowout well and cleaning up the mess it makes, the report said. But given how unprepared they were, both BP and the government reacted quickly and impressively, the report said.
'BP's efforts to develop multiple source control options simultaneously were Herculean,' it stated.
'It was a marvellous experience in logistics,' said Bea, who wasn't part of the spill commission.
Also, the oil industry in general and the government have not spent the money they promised to improve clean-up equipment and technique for oil spills, a second commission report said.
Despite billions of dollars in profits, oil companies spend only a few million dollars a year on clean-up technology. The federal government in 2010 spent $7.4million on oil spill research.
In 1993, when adjusted for inflation, the federal government spent $20.3million on the subject.
At one point during the hectic times, government officials started paying attention to the advice of BP's competitors - even though BP said not to believe them - in a confusing way.
'An industry participant recalled that the calls were fairly disorganized, with no pre-set agenda and people talking over one another,' the report said.
'He mentioned one instance when he was chagrined to learn he had been talking to Secretary Chu without realizing it.'
Early in the spill, an Interior Department employee overseeing BP's efforts described his experience 'as akin to standing in a hurricane,' the report said.
'Despite working more than 80 hours a week, this individual recalled having to miss more than half of the BP engineering team meetings he was supposed to attend.'

"one of two trans candidates in the French presidential election"? For all I know, there was not even one among the 10 official candidates. She may have confused "I want to be a candidate" with "I am a candidate whose name appears on voting bulletins".
Don't pay attention of that creature ! I know her very well, too well : go getter, hypocrit, liar, proud as a peacock, lazy, dirty, wicked and generally unable to anything. Anywho you are, she will betray you as she did with her own parents, friends, wife, daughter and without her working girlfriend, she'd become a wretch, begging her food.
Don't trust this poor thing: serve as you deserve !

FRISCO (CBSDFW.COM) — Police have taken a juvenile family member into custody after two bodies were discovered at a Frisco residence early Monday morning.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 12400 block of Shepherds Hill Lane around 2 a.m.
When officers arrived, they discovered one adult male and one adult female deceased inside the residence. Authorities say other family members were inside the home but were not harmed.
A known suspect was taken into custody at the residence. Police tell CBS 11 that the arrested suspect is a juvenile male family member.
Frisco Police are not identifying the victims, but they are calling it a "family scenario" which does not present a danger to the community.
"This is an isolated incident with this one residence," said Frisco Officer Colby Hill. "Right now, the community is safe. We have everything under control here."
The case is still currently being investigated at this time.

Great for beginners, useful for the experienced C programmer,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Programming Arduino Getting Started with Sketches (Paperback)
If you're new to both programming and Arduino, this is an ideal way to get started.
If you can already code in C, but don't know a thing about Arduino, then this is a very useful book which will give you enough examples to get you started quickly. The book's web site also has lots of example programs to download. These are known as "sketches" in Arduino land and just appear in the IDE sketch list so you can use them easily.

Arena Wednesday 28 August 2013
coming up on Wednesday's show....a young girl intrigued by a group of free-spirited teenagers becomes embroiled in a dark world of cult worship in Emma Cline's debut novel "The Girls", for her latest collection poet Martina Evans looks to both the past and previously unpublished work, a review of Tom Murphy's "The Wake" at the Abbey Theatre and do tv-to-film adaptations work?
Daily arts and popular culture show, presented by Evelyn O'Rourke.
The writer Blake Morrison published And When Did You Last See Your Father in 1993. That memoir turned Blake into a literary sensation and also helped to change the way we viewed the genre. From mere autobiography they were suddenly works of serious literary merit with added psychological insights, sharing the struggle of life and a process of understanding.
On Sunday Author Blake Morrison will be talking at the Mountains to Sea book festival in Dun Laoghaire and he joins Evelyn O Rourke from London.
Blake's own favourite memoirs include This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff; Seamus Dean's Reading in The Dark from 1996; Lora Sage's memoir Bad Blood; The Scent of Dried Roses by Tim Lott; Dave Eggar's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius; and Seamus Heaney's Stepping Stones.
Tony Clayton Lea has been browsing through the release schedules this winter for Arena. Katy Perry's Prism is one of the most highly anticipated album releases, he also reviews Eminem's new album, Miley Cyrus and the Manic Street Preachers
Samantha Shannon has only just graduated from University yet she has just been given a seven book deal with Bloomsbury - the same publishers who gave JK Rowling her phenomenal deal. She joins Evelyn to discuss.
The Bone Season is a dark futuristic fantasy novel for adults. It tells the story of a young woman, Paige Mahoney, outcast because of her clairvoyant gifts and living among a criminal underworld.
Since the Arab Spring, violence in the Middle East has seldom been far from the headlines. But do the arts have a role to play in Conflict Zones?
Ruth Daniel manages an Award winning research project at The University of Manchester. Called 'In Place of War' it represents and researches a creative community in sites of armed conflict.

Watch: James Franco Tries To End Harmony Korine's Letterman Ban
Hurrah! Fans of Harmony Korine's awkwardly bizarre interview antics may see him return to The Late Show in the near future. Since Harmony's infamous ban from David Letterman's interview couch back in '98, speculations swirled as to what could have possibly happened off camera to get the host miffed enough to impose this serious blacklist action.
Well, the truth is out now, and we couldn't think of anyone better to shed light on the enigmatic wrong-doing than our favorite drug-dealing, cornrow-donning Spring Breakers thug, James Franco. While we love him for his diplomacy (he's all about ending the feud), we're not sure whether David Letterman is convinced Harmony is a changed man. Watch David Letterman explain the reason for the ban, which may (or may not) surprise you…

MOSCOW, March 28. /ITAR-TASS/. Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine's legitimate president who had to quit the country, in an address to the Ukrainian people has called for holding a referendum on the status of each region within Ukraine.
"As the president whose thoughts and heart are together with you, I call on each reasonable citizen of Ukraine - don't let the impostors use you! Demand a referendum on the determination of the status of each region within Ukraine," Yanukovych said.
He said "everything that has happened in recent months and is happening in Ukraine is an armed coup that was conducted by the opposition with the use of arms of terrorist groups with full support of some Western states."
"The impostors have no mandate of confidence of the Ukrainian people, have no right to deprive each Ukrainian citizen of his right to vote, introducing non-constitutional changes to the legislation, including on the presidential election," Yanukovych stressed.
"The anarchy going on in the streets of our country has nothing in common with democracy," he is certain. "Let at least any Western state call democratic the steps taken by the current 'managers.' I don't think that anyone from European high-ranking officials would publicly recognize normal the shooting and plunder in the streets of their states when terrorists are called activists who are allowed to rob and kill people with impunity," Yanukovych noted.
"It's absolutely logical that the protest that is rising in the South-East of Ukraine is a natural reaction of the densely populated industrial region to an armed coup," he stated.
Only an all-Ukrainian referendum, but not early presidential elections, can significantly stabilize the situation and preserve Ukraine's integrity, Yanukovych believes. The anti-constitutional amendments made to the legislation, in particular, on presidential elections in Ukraine, "rule out the chance for fair elections, whenever they are held", he said.
In addition, Viktor Yanukovych in his address to the Party of Regions congress asked to relive him from duties of honorary chairman of the party and exclude him from it.
Ukraine's legitimate president Yanukovych has been forced to live Ukraine amid violent uprising last month. The Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, has taken over and appointed an interim head of state and approved a new government. Yanukovych, however, maintains that he is still the legitimate president of Ukraine.
The newly-formed authorities announced earlier that Ukraine would be holding early presidential elections on May 25.

Viewing whales and dolphins in the wild is an unmissable experience. Not all the locations are exotic – some of the world's best cetacean-watching sites are here in Europe. These short trips are a great way to meet others who share your passion and see some of nature's most amazing creatures.
The sub-tropical island of Madeira is a perfect winter sun destination for those that want to do more than fly and flop. Set against a backdrop of dramatic cliffs, mountains and lush valleys, Madeira offers an outstanding choice of hotels, including some beautifully-restored quintas, great local restaurants and 600 miles of marked walking trails.
A cottage in Cornwall, what could be more relaxing? Until you have to shop and cook, or find a good place for dinner. Book a luxury bolthole with Boutique Retreats and they do the hard work, from booking restaurants to arranging a private chef or deliveries of local Cornish produce. All of which leaves little to do but put your feet up and enjoy the peace. Perfect.
We all love a buy one, get one free deal. Sadly, it doesn't often work with city breaks, but book a trip to beautiful Budapest and you get two cities for the price of one. The older part, Buda, boasts stunning Gothic architecture and pretty cobbled streets, while across the river Pest has wide boulevards, tranquil parks and buzzy cafe culture.
Described by Truman Capote as "like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go", Venice is a city built for show, its sights global icons of art and architecture. Its canals and bridges make it ideal for wandering – and getting lost. Let the magic rather than a map take over. If you've never been, you're in for one of travel's most romantic treats.
English wine is alive, well and very much in the ascendancy according to discerning quaffers, both at home and abroad. In Gloucestershire you can not only visit one of the largest vineyards in the country, the 100 acre Three Choirs, but you can also sleep and dine on site – so there's no need to limit your testing of their fine pinot noirs and other produce.
Remember when flying was fun? Before the days of long queues, endless checks and airports that are more like shopping malls? Book with Flybe and it's a whole different experience; they fly from small, regional airports that connect to dozens of European destinations, ideal for a stress-free start to your citybreak or week in the sun.
History, architecture and long, sandy beaches combine to make Sicily the perfect choice for an Italian short break. Choose from a city weekend among the faded grandeur of Palermo, or a chilled-out foodie few days among the trattorias and locandas of Syracuse. Drive up Mount Etna, eat gelati on the promenade in Cefalu and sip cocktails at sunset in pretty Taormina. Bellissima.
Downton Abbey may be over for another season, but that's no reason to let standards slip! Book a break with Oliver's Travels to stay at some of Britain's most elegant properties – from Georgian townhouses that sleep six, to grand country estates that sleep sixty. All can be rented for exclusive use, with properties in Scotland, England and Wales.
Palma is the perfect weekend break destination. The main boulevards offer great shopping potential, while quarters like La Lonja seethe with atmospheric tapas bars and bodegas. There's history at the spectacular Gothic cathedral and 10th-century Arab Baths, world-class art at the Palau March or the Fundacion Joan Miro, and an impressive collection of chic boutique hotels.
If New York is the Big Apple, Washington DC is the Big Cheese; a city that oozes power. Dotted with uber-luxurious hotels that welcome the world's great and good, Washington mixes world-class museums and galleries with a hip drinking scene and restaurants to rival NYC. Easy to explore on foot, it's a presidentially-perfect city break.
A short-break across the Atlantic doesn't have to mean New York – Montréal is closer, oozes style and combines the atmosphere of a chic French city with the traditional laid-back Canadian feel. Pair serious shopping with outdoor activities; try white-water rafting or jet boating and reward yourself with fabulous French food and lazy afternoons enjoying the cafe culture.
Hitting the sweet spot between old-fashioned style and a contemporary feel can be a tall order, but Pen y Dyffryn, on the Shropshire-Wales border, gets it bang on. Cosy without being chintzy, it is set amidst lush rolling hills and wooded glades. A walk across the hills is the best way to work up an appetite for the spectacular dinners.
There's something unique about Cornwall's Atlantic coast – perhaps it's the drama, huge waves rolling onto wide sandy beaches. Stay in one of the five-star lodges at Gwel an Mor and you're just ten minutes from the beautiful beach at Portreath, surrounded by lush countryside. Alongside the lodges there's a heated pool, restaurant and a full programme of kids' activities.
Spend a day walking the coastal paths of Cornwall and you might wonder why Brits ever bother to travel abroad. The undulating hills, secret sandy coves and soaring cliffs are as fine as you'll see anywhere. With great local restaurants and superb self-catering cottages, this is paradise on your doorstep.
Boating on the Norfolk Broads has to be one of the most relaxing ways to spend a long weekend, or more. Pottering along at just 5mph is the perfect speed to wind down, relax and take in the National Park scenery, with long stretches of reed marsh and woodland, the banks dotted with picturesque thatched cottages plus the occasional pub for vital victuals.
Away from the peak months of summer, Athens is perfect for a weekend break, particularly since the opening in 2009 of the New Acropolis Museum, £100m worth of dazzling modern architecture crammed with Classical treasures. When it comes to hotels, Athens excels at the contemporary as well as some more traditional grandes dames.
Whatley Manor is a place in which to escape daily life in country house style. With traditional architecture and gorgeous gardens, with lots of secluded corners, you'll want to own it, not just stay in it. But if a short break is your only option, there are 23 rooms, a Michelin two star restaurant, an amazing spa, a spread of lounges and even a cinema.
Brimming with tradition and oozing with culture, Vienna is the place to hear Strauss, see countless works of art and be overwhelmed by pompous, imperial architecture. Even a break for coffee and cake involves stepping back in time. Ride the famous ferris wheel in the Prater and you'll be in the heart of the Hapsburgs' hunting ground.
Reykjavik is a youthful, compact, friendly city set in dramatic countryside and less than three hours' flying time from the UK. Wander around art galleries and museums, linger in stylish restaurants and cosy coffee bars then take a healing dip in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. If you have the energy, party the night away at the city's legendary bars.
Sorrento has been putting out the welcome mat for British travellers since the 18th century. As well as the stunning clifftop location, it's ideal for hopping across the Bay of Naples to Capri by boat, taking a spectacular drive along the hairpins of the Amalfi coast, jumping on the train to Pompeii or strolling to the crater summit of Vesuvius.
The millennium-old walled city, Byron's 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its honey-stoned buildings, terracotta roofs and cobbled streets has been fully restored to pearly perfection after its wartime pounding.

Accused in T&T dominoes murders walks free
(Trinidad Express) A man accused of murdering four people in 2006 walked out of the Hall of Justice, Port of Spain, a free man yesterday afternoon after he was found not guilty of the charges.
Ezra "Dougla" Bhagwandeen was found not guilty by a 12-member jury following only one hour of deliberation.
The matter got started before Justice Prakash Moosai in the First Criminal Court in October of last year with State attorney Joy Balkaran leading evidence for the prosecution.
Bhagwandeen, 27, was charged with murdering Reynold Elie, 53, Gerard Gibson, 52, Christopher Nelson, 48, and Willard Bolivar, 30, on the night of August 18, 2007, at Chin Chin Road, Cunupia.
The State had led evidence that the four were playing dominoes outside a parlour at Kernahan Trace, when two men emerged from some nearby bushes and opened fire on them.
Last November, Balkaran made an application before Moosai that the State's main witness, Johaan Cruickshank Samuel, be deemed a hostile witness after the State failed to elicit the expected responses from him.
On several occasions Balkaran had sought leave to allow Samuel to refresh his memory from the statement he gave to the police as well as his deposition which was recorded in the Chaguanas Magistrates' Court.
Samuel would later testify that police officers added additional information to his witness statement. He also told the court he was forced by the police to give the statement and forced to sign it.
The officers he said, also told him who he should point out in the identification parade.
"Before I walked into the room the officer told me I was pointing out (the man standing at position) number seven," Samuel had said.
Bhagwandeen was represented by attorneys Michelle Solomon-Baksh and Raphael Morgan.

WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders brought his firebrand rhetoric back to the floor of the Senate yesterday to condemn a White House-backed bill on Puerto Rico's financial crisis as "colonialism at its worst." Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who turned an unlikely presidential bid into a political movement to combat inequality, warned that legislation due for a crucial Senate vote on Wednesday would subject Puerto Rico to Republican trickle-down economics and favor "vulture capitalists" at the expense of the island's increasingly impoverished population.

DLO files patent infringement suits against Belkin, Griffin
Netalog, which develops and sells iPod accessories under the Digital Lifestyle Outfitters name, announced today that it has filed lawsuits against Belkin and Griffin Technology alleging patent infringement. Both complaints are over a Netalog patent relating to its DLO TransPod FM transmitter and car charger.
The lawsuit against Belkin, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleges that the company has willfully infringed U.S. patent No. 6,591,085, entitled "FM Transmitter and Power Supply/Charging Assembly for MP3 Player,

So basically they have taken two inventions they did not invent, combined them in one box, and filed a patent. That is ridiculous.

I do wish web sites would stop giving Jack Campbell (and any company and scheme he is involved in) any resemblance of credence. As with all Jack Campbell ventures, DVForge had no intention to produce a PodBuddy. The Macintouch web site has an excellent series of pages devoted to each one of Jack Campbell's schemes, and in the future iLounge editors should just quit giving this man free publicity.

Don't kid yourself thinking we haven't read about Jack Campbell. I think everybody has, so there's no need for pasting in links to stories about him. Regardless of his past actions or the public's view of him, we will not omit relevant news because he's involved. It's not "free publicity." It's *news* that his company was also involved in a dispute with Netalog.
Posted by Larry Angell on December 15, 2005 at 11:13 AM (CST)
Don't be too quick to dismiss these claims, I had the original transpod for my first iPod, and I just recently boght the roadtrip for my 60gb video iPod. The mounts intercange! I can take my transmitter unit from the roadtrip and mount it on the lighter adapter/stalk from the transpod, and it fits just as good as on its own mount. Its actually kind of handy, as I can just leave a power adapter in each car.
Posted by Steven Thomas on December 15, 2005 at 11:53 AM (CST)
Wouldn't Apple hold any applicable patents, sense they built the framework? Surely these guys aren't claiming patent on digital FM transmitters, so it has to be the dock connector implementation. DVForge probably couldn't afford it, but with 95% my iPod accessory revenue, Griffin will squash this for sure.
As an aside:
DLO, it's not your competitors' fault that you big foray into this market (iBoom) crapped out due to poor quality.
It seems that, in the new milennium, litigation is a new revenue stream. Instead of paying for R&D, you pay attorneys fees and court costs. Instead of testing the market, you have settlment discussions and evidentiary hearings. Instead of market success, you have courtroom decisions and/or large settlments.
Just sad.

There's only one shadier guy in the Mac/iPod community than Jack Campbell, and that's Bill Palmer, Retarded Delusional (TM). These guys are liars and class A creeps, they should be tarred, feathered, and run out of the Apple world.
Posted by Captain Freedom on December 15, 2005 at 3:38 PM (CST)
So taking an FM transmitter and combining it with a cigarette lighter charger is worthy enough for a patent?
So, now can we burn down the Patent Office?
Posted by flatline response on December 16, 2005 at 2:44 AM (CST)
Whatever your thoughts on Jack Campbell, get over it. He's only mentioned here as an aside.
But, since you went there, there are some great products on the DVForge site. Shipping, tested, and reviewed products, mind you.
Posted by Gordy. on December 16, 2005 at 11:18 AM (CST)
This guy is a lowdown creep so no people shouldn't just "get over it". I'm sure the sleaze loves people who think like you though.

Hi Bob, great find, it certainly looks like it's clinging on for it's life. I've fished everywhere from Melbourne to Market Bosworth, all west of the M1. I've never really visited anywhere east of the M1 in the area between Loughborough and Leicester. L
Hello Mark We tend to stick to the areas we know. When I fished in the 1960s/70s we had just a motor bike and side car but we always went fishing on a Sunday come rain or shine.Thanks for the Like. Regards Bob
Creature of habit, I know I'll be fishing in the same places again this year:) I've taken a boat down the Soar and over waterways that side but, that's it. Glad you're filling in the gaps for me. Do you do any fishing now?
Hi Mark I loved fishing and would love to get back into the swim one day soon, I need to get all new tackle, you cannot beat canal fishing for a tranquil pastime. Regards Bob
Hi Bob, amazing how they just cling to and grow around almost anything. Great find. Like.
Regards, Rosa.
Hello Rosa The Oak and the Willow are both great survivors. There quite a few of the old Oaks at the Bradgate park that are in great danger of falling over because of the eccelerated soil erosion.Thanks for the Like. Regards Bob

Here's An Easy Way To Make Small Talk Way Less Awkward
Published 2:17 pm, Friday, August 15, 2014
On the scale of awkward things you do with people you barely know, small talk is just below the missed high-five.
But it doesn't have to be.
With a little conversational cunning, it's easy to turn stultifying small talk into meaningful — or at least novel — conversation. All you have to do is "break the mirror."

While you may have had a conversation, you missed a connection.
Breaking the mirror is a cure to that.
Let's go over a few examples, care of TED.
The mirrored example:
James: It's a beautiful day!
John: Yes, it is a beautiful day!
This is terrible.
"By mirroring James' opinion and language, John has followed the social norm,"but he's also paralyzed the discussion and missed a moment of fun."
Here's a much less terrible, non-mirrored convo:
James: It's a beautiful day!
John: They say that the weather was just like this when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. If that actually happened.
While strange, it's effective. Now James and John have something to talk about.
While you don't need to invoke American tragedies in order to have a fun conversation, the lesson holds: Instead of just saying back whatever is said to you, advance the line of thought in an unexpected fashion, potentially making friends in your wake.
"Be provocative," Colin and Baedeker conclude. "Absurdity is underrated."
