Aside from my church gig this morning, I am TAKING THE DAY OFF.  Do you hear me?  I REFUSE to write a review today.  (You may all thank me later).

Re:  Chicago.  Betsy was of course a news anchor there for years, on WMAQ and WXRT, and she still has lots of friends there.  I had never really spent any time there, aside from layovers at O'Hare, so when we went to visit her parents in Wisconsin a few years ago, we actually decided to arrive in Chicago and spend some time there before journeying north.  I fell in love with the city.  I told Betsy it was like New York, only with wider streets and friendlier people (sorry to all HHW NYC denizens).

Installed my new TV but I'm not getting a signal from my AV receiver through which my Blu-ray and DVD player are connected. The manual says high speed HDMI cables need to be connected to the TV. I have one of those which is connected to the satellite receiver and I'm getting a signal on that. I connected that cable to the AV receiver but still didn't get a signal from the Blu-ray player.  Looks like maybe I need to replace all the HDMI cables throughout the chain. What a hassle!

Doug, have you checked your receiver settings?  Mine (an Onkyo) has different input choices for where it's receiving the signal from, therefore you need to press separate buttons for Satellite, BD, DVD, etc.

That's what I thought must be the problem but I don't think so. I've now connected another Blu-ray player directly to the TV through an old HDMI and that is receiving a signal OK. I don't know why I'm not getting a signal through the AV receiver though. There was no problem with the old TV.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were soft and prayer-like, and now it is time for you to post until the West Side Cows come home.  They love a good MOOvie MOOsical.

Funny, BK I never thought you looked Jet-ish.

Does your new TV have more than one HDMI input?  Have you selected the correct one?

 A question for all the technofiles out there.

I have a Panosonic HD Flat Screen TV & A Panosonic Blu-Ray Home Theater System. My Cable box and my Blu Ray are both conneted to the TV via HDMI cables.

I have the television audio go through my home theater system and here is where I have my problem.

It does not happen on all the channels, but for me there is a visual/audio delay of about perhaps 1 second or so when the audio does not match the lip movements. (These are NOT programs filmed in another language and then dubbed into English) It is off just that slight amont that it is annoying.

I have tried in the set up with "Audio Delay" at various intervals. I tried with auomatic, 0ms & 10ms (what I currently have it at). The 10ms worked for a short time but the problem is back.

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix it?

So I just heard the expression "Bro-mos" for the first time today, apparently meaning gay people who are just friends, or gay friends of straight men.  Likely an offshoot of the word "bromance" I guess.

just thought I'd share.

There is a nice original photo of WORLD PREMIERE on EBAY for only 9.99.....Frances Farmer in a black wig......I might consider buying it, if the monkey who also appeared in the picture was present.

Said monkey evidently wanted that wig, at least considering its behavior as Frances exits the frame in one scene.

Everything seems OK thanks DR JMK.  I think I did something stupid - like selecting the wrong input  :-[

With all the excitement today of the buyer coming for the old TV and installing the new one, with associated connection problems, I completely forgot to do the laundry. Must start now.

For lunch today I slow-cooked a beef joint in a closed pot with onions and carrots. Not the sort of thing I usually do so I was a bit dubious as to how it would turned out - but to was delicious.

I hate it when I'm watching a film and the sound is out of synch. the trouble is that once you become aware of it you can't concentrate on the film properly because it becomes a constant distraction. I used to find it more on DVDs and satellite TV. I've used the delay function on my AV receiver and satellite receiver in the past which sometimes worked but I haven't noticed the problem lately - maybe I've just trained myself to ignore it.

I'm up after nine hours of sleep (I got caught up in watching the extras on WSS).  Speaking of those, there's a new looking back featurette, with all sorts of people I'd prefer never to see pontificating, such as Adam Shankman and the choreographer of Glee.  One of the things they boast of is a song specific commentary by Stephen Sondheim.  As it turns out, all they've done is excerpted stuff he says in his live interview, some of which is only tenuously about the song they assign his comments to.  That seems a little disingenuous.  What's truly amusing, for those of us who know him, is that his stories are basically word for word the same stories he tells in the previous featurette, which is also included.

The previous featurette's clips are, of course, from the previous transfer, so when watching those you can see that the new transfer is hugely a step up.  And I want to say that strongly because obviously some hard work was put into it.  But its occasional shortcomings are baffling but I don't want them to override the stuff that looks very good.
