This application is for entry into the U.S. National Phase under �371 for International Application No. PCT/EP2006/008772 having an international filing date of Sep. 8, 2006, and from which priority is claimed under all applicable sections of Title 35 of the United States Code including, but not limited to, Sections 120, 363 and 365(c), and which in turn claims priority under 35 USC 119 to German Patent Application No. 10 2005 043 282.4 filed on Sep. 9, 2005 and German Patent Application No. 10 2006 038 320.6 filed on Aug. 15, 2006.
The invention concerns a device for transport of objects with a profiling, especially bottles or preforms with an annular collar, between two sliding planes or support devices by means of at least one transport device, at least part of which lies frictionally against the object and is supported against mounting elements or pressure rolls.
A number of objects must now be transported from one processing station to the next or to packaging. This is particularly true for bottles, which are filled or labeled during transport. However, this is especially true for preforms, which are produced in an injection molding machine and then blown up to a bottle in a blow molding machine. The preforms have an annular collar which serves essentially for handling of the preforms and later bottles. The annular collar is provided just beneath the bottle opening and generally also limits the thread for attachment, of a screw cap.
Hinge chains, flat belts, circular profile cords or the like are known for transport of bottles from DE 35 15 353 A1, which engage beneath the annular collar and thus produce transport.
The annular collar in EP 0 842 875 A1 is engaged at the top and bottom by a pair of endless cords.
According to the present technique the preforms produced in the injection molding die are arranged in complicated installations that require considerable space and transported to the blow molding machine. It is new to separate these preforms in a centrifuge-like separator, as is described, for example, in PCT/EP2006/050682.
The task of the present invention is to provide an appropriate device of the aforementioned type with which the objects, especially preforms can be arranged and reliably transported from one to the next station.
The fact that the part of the transport device lying frictionally against the object is flexible or mounted flexibly leads to the solution to the task.
The most important advantage of this flexible mounting of the objects is that both the possibility of transport and holdup exists. This is of great importance for practical application of the device. The possibility of producing a dynamic pressure also exists.
The containers that are transported preferably have a body, an annular collar and an opening and they are preferably PET bottles and PET preforms. Support devices and transport devices are provided to support the transport containers, the support devices being arranged fixed. The support devices can be formed from plastic or metal strips. The support devices, however, cannot only be designed as a strip, but any configuration is instead possible, like a band with a circular cross section.
The at least one transport device is preferably capable of main power introduction into the container for forward movement in the transport direction. The support device and the transport device preferably engage beneath or above the annular collar. Engagement of the support device or transport device touching the annular collar is just as conceivable as engagement carried out with a slight spacing to the annular collar.
The at least one transport device is preferably designed as a revolving strand side on which spring elements are mounted. By cooperation of the spring elements with a support device or with spring elements of other transport devices, clamping of the containers in the area of the annular collar is obtained.
According a preferred modification of the invention, the support devices are mounted fixed and the transport device movable in the transport direction, two support devices and two support devices also preferably being present. The containers are preferably transported suspended so that the support devices engage parallel tangentially beneath the annular collar, whereas the two transport devices are mounted tangentially parallel above the annular collar. However, it is also within the scope of the invention for three support devices to be present which hold the container in a certain position, whereas a transport device ensures forward movement in the transport direction.
It is also possible to provide a total of only three support and transport devices. In this case either two support devices and one transport device or two transport devices and one support device can be provided. With four engagement possibilities available above and below the annular collar in the preform to its left and right, one engagement site remains free during use of three support devices or transport devices in which it is completely irrelevant whether the free site is on the left, right, top or bottom.
According to a particularly preferred modification of the invention, part of the transport device is designed as an endlessly revolving chain, the chain consisting at least of a chain strand, mounting elements and spring elements. Return of the chain preferably occurs parallel to the plane of the annular collar. The chain has mounting elements at regular intervals to which spring elements can be fastened. The spring elements can then be designed so that one spring element per mounting element or several mounting elements per spring element are necessary. The mounting elements are preferably rolls with grooves made in them in which the spring elements can be guided. The spring elements are therefore preferably made from wire, which is guided or secured in the grooves of the mounting elements. The mounting elements, however, can also be pins or other spring fastening possibilities. In addition, it is conceivable that the spring, elements are fastened directly to the revolving chain. Two mounting elements are preferably used to fasten one spring element, in which the spacings of the mounting element that accommodate the spring elements can be greater, smaller or equal to the spacings of the next mounting elements.
In the variant in the which the spring element is made from wire and is fastened to two mounting element, a preferred fastening appears so that the beginning and end of the wire are situated on a mounting element, whereas the other mounting element is wrapped around by the wire, preferably one and a half times. The one mounting element is preferably enclosed by the wire so that it forms a C shape, the spacing of the arms in the C shape being greater than the diameter of a mounting element. In this way it is possible for the spring element to move relative to the mounting element in order to be able to clamp the container.
According to a preferred modification of the invention two transport devices designed as endlessly revolving chains are situated to the left and right parallel to the transport direction, which clamp the containers above the annular collar. In this arrangement the chain strands with their mounting elements and spring elements are arranged in mirror fashion on the plane passing through the center point of the containers transported in a row in a transport device. The mirror arrangement has the advantage that the spring elements can optimally grasp the containers. In their unclamping state two opposite C-shaped areas of the spring elements are spaced from each other so that the annular collar diameter is greater than the spacing of these two spring element areas. This has the advantage that optimal clamping of the containers can be achieved. If the containers are clamped between two C-shaped areas of the spring elements, the arms of the C-shaped elements in contact with the containers on the annular collars move in the direction of the center point of the mounting elements. Owing to the fact that the spring elements enclose a mounting element, another type of fastening is not necessary.
During transport of the containers through the device, the annular collar is situated in an annular collar plane that preferably is perpendicular to the plane through the center point of the containers transported in a row. According to a preferred modification of the invention the spring elements and the support devices are arranged so that they are parallel to the plane of the annular collar. An angled arrangement of the support devices and/or transport devices, however, is also conceivable so that an arrangement of the spring element with reference to the annular collar plane at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees is conceivable.
In order to optimally guide the chain to which the mounting elements and spring elements are fastened, according to a preferred modification of the invention guides are provided in which the chain strands can run. Exact guiding of the revolving transport devices has the advantage that the mounting elements and the spring elements are also exactly guided, which again means that the holding force between two spring elements can be exactly defined. The spring elements are preferably designed so that they can be adjusted so that the holding force with which the containers can be grasped on the annular collar is adjustable. The spring force is best adjusted so that the spring elements continue to move at the occurring dynamic pressure of the containers and therefore �slip through� the containers.
The guides preferably have grooves in which the chain strand can be guided. The guides are preferably situated parallel to the transport direction.
In another practical example of the invention at least one part of the transport device that lies frictionally against the object is supported against pressure rolls and these pressure rolls are mounted flexibly. Because of this reliable transport of the preforms is guaranteed. In one practical example of the invention the pressure rolls are mounted on spring tabs, leaf springs, spring brackets or the like, which are biased. In another variant of the invention the pressure rolls can be arranged on a support block which is supported against a wall via a spring. In order for this springs not to break off laterally, it preferably wraps around a pin through which the support block is inserted into the wall.
In a practical example of the invention endless belts, preferably endless round belts can be allocated to the object being transported on both sides, between which the object being transported is unclamped. By the choice of endless belts with round cross section, no change in engagement points on the objects occurs, regardless of the position in which the preforms are transported.
These endless belts wrap around deflection rolls arranged at a spacing, which are preferably tiltable so that by changing the position of the deflection rolls the preforms can be transported not only suspended, but also horizontally or event vertically upright, depending on the desire. A hold-down against which the preforms stop or lie is an additional aid here. This means the preforms can be transported in any position and untimed, which was not possible in the devices known thus far. For example, no transport and back pressure generation from the bottom up of the preforms was thus far possible. This is feasible with the device according to the invention.
The sliding planes and support devices naturally must be adapted to the desired transport path. In this way any type of guiding of the preforms is possible. This means that the spatial alignment of the preforms can be adjusted to an inlet on a blow molding machine of different manufacturers.
Especially during transport of preforms, but also bottles, there is a necessity that the transport path extend in one plane. If the transport path, however, is rising or falling and passes through different slopes, there are positive and negative slope areas in which the spacing of the center axes of the consecutive objects is reduced or widened. If the spacing is reduced, the consecutive objects deflect, require more space and can jam. They also rub against each other.
To prevent this drawback, according to the present invention in one practical example, the possibility is offered that a deflection element is inserted in the area of the negative slope in the transport path of the object so that they slide along a sliding surface and are deflected outward. Because of this the diminishing spacing between the said axes of the consecutive preforms is increased again.
It is also conceivable that the sliding planes on which the annular collars of the preform slide along run in different planes in individual areas. Because of this, tilting of the preforms occurs so that they are also deflected laterally and the spacing of their center axes is increased again.
Arrangement of the differently sloped sliding planes is also conceivable, which can also be offset at different heights. Many possibilities are conceivable here and are to be included by the present invention.
Precisely the possibility that the present invention offers by different arrangement of the sliding planes does not allow the problem of a negative arc to develop at all. The preforms can be transported in any position of their center axes so that the desired spacing of the center axes can be taken into account by changing the positions of the preforms in space.
Another idea of the present invention pertains mostly to the fact that the spacing of the sliding planes is variable relative to each other. For this purpose the sliding planes are part of the housing that preferably consists of two housing shells. The two housing shells form a slit in the area of the sliding planes, in which the edges maintain a desired spacing from each other. The edges take up the preforms between them in the use position.
In order to be able to change this spacing, the two housing shells must be movable one into the other for which purpose two arm strips of the housing shells overlap and can be joined to each other overlapping.
Additional advantages, features and details of the invention are apparent from the following description and preferred practical examples as well as with reference to the drawing; in the drawing
How a spring element 6 winds around two mounting elements 7, 7′ is best shown in
Because of installation at the beginning of the spring element 6′ and the end of the spring element 6″ on the mounting element 7 and by wrapping around the mounting element 7′ a spring force is generated that elastically clamps the preforms 2 with a perpendicular component to the transport direction T. If no preforms 2 are situated between two opposite spring elements 6, they have a spacing A between each other, which is less than the diameter of the opening area of preform 2. If preforms 2 are situated between opposite spring 6, the C-shaped part of the element 6 moves in the direction X toward the center point 17 of mounting element 7.
Another practical example of a device according to the invention for transport of preforms according to
The preforms 2 slide in slit 25, in which they lie with annular collar 3 against edges 24.1 and 24.2 connected to the side to sliding planes 32.1, 32.2.
Two endless belts 29.1 and 29.2 arranged on both sides serve for transport of the preforms 2 along slit 25 in housing 22, which wrap around deflection rolls 30.1 and 30.2 and run in plastic rails 42. The endless belts 29.1 and 29.2 are nestled above annular collar 3 closely to the neck of preforms 2 and frictionally entrain the preforms 2. In order for the preforms 2 not to be able to expand upward, a rail 31 additionally serves as hold-down.
The two sliding plane 32.1 and 32.2 are indicated in
According to
In another variant of the device according to the invention for transport of preforms according to
According to the invention in the device for transport of preforms 2 it is also supposed to be possible for the preforms to travel along a curve transport path. For example, if the preforms are arranged suspended, as shown in
Another possibility according to
There is also the possibility according to

Generally when individuals are going around with Wi-Fi enabled devices of theirs, the broadcasting feature will search for known networks. These will be sent by making use of Wifi MAC address of the phone that is not just unique but normally with persistent value. It means, anyone who is monitoring such probes for example department store can track you persistently via a store as well as across several visits. The information is not tied to personal identity of yours but abundance of information related to shopping habits of yours can be gleaned by analytics companies from data obtained by them. This is the reason why Apple has decided going a step further.
The iOS 8 devices from Apple are designed to randomize MAC address of theirs while broadcasting WiFi probes. Operating systems will be responsible for designing locally administered, random MAC addresses. As per the studies, it is thought that till the time one isn't connected to any wireless access point, their device cannot be used for tracking them anymore. As these basically are WiFi probes, range for them is limited. Networks wanting tracking presence or movement of any iphone device would require being in much close proximity. A place where you may have seen device of this sort being used is in departmental stores especially for monitoring shopping habits of visitors. As latest random MAC address has been introduced, tokens will keep getting generated periodically hence there won't be persistent tokens any longer for passive monitors to get hold of your device through tracking.
When tests were conducted on this new feature offered by Apple iOS8, it was found that for MAC randomization feature to work, 2 criteria should be met. The first criteria is that device of yours shouldn't be connected to any WiFi network; it makes sense. The other criterion is that device should be asleep. When device is asleep, it becomes difficult for monitoring devices to gain access to your device. Testing team was able to see WiFi probes getting sent with randomized MAC addresses with the cellular service and Location Services enabled. Issue arises when you are having cellular connection, phone of yours doesn't tends being asleep for longer duration. In case screen of yours is asleep, phone may not, for instance when your phone is receiving new email through push. In case notifications are turned off, phone will immediately wake up on receiving email though screen will remain off. This means phone's requirement to be asleep makes the feature useless. It is expected that Apple is still working on this to offer Great Privacy Practice in IOS 8 and in their next version, the issue will get resolved.

When Ridley Scott's "The Martian" was announced with Matt Damon in the lead a few months ago, it sounded like it had a lot of heat and would be next for the prodigious and eclectic filmmaker. And according to writer Simon Kinberg, it is, and it's shooting this fall.Read More »
Perhaps it was inevitable, and maybe too good to be true. Latino Review has been on a hot streak of movie scoops of late, but perhaps their latest just got stymied.

Looks like those early reports panned out.

The atmosphere was very relaxing and the site was unique from any place I had ever been.
Made a poor choice of food at a restaurant. It was too spicy for my friend's tastes at the Cafe Elan. I had the scallops in gazpacho which was excellent, however.The wine tour was informative and interesting. We were sable to see one of the processes actually happening. The shop there of their wines and other gifts was beautifully displayed. The new vines looked very healthy and well tended.

From the greeting when you first arrive until the service that you receive when you fimally have to leave, your stay will be a real joy. The Hospitality is unvelieveable. The staff treats you like royalty. The only negative is one night the front desk put a very noisy couple next to us that came in late from the GA / Ga Tech football game. We had already been asleep for several hours. Kept hearing GO DAWGS! Something a GATOR did not want to hear.

Fire alarms went off EXTREMELY early in the morning and we were asked to clear the hotel for over half an hour. Nothing was actually wrong. The alarms went off twice more before we awoke.In order to rectify the issues with the fire alarms, we were offered a cup of coffee upon checking out; we didn't need coffee to keep us awake after being up most of the night... we needed sleep! When we were asked how we enjoyed our stay, we addressed the evacuation issue and the ongoing alarms and were told that they would not offer anything other than a yogurt cup to us since we did not book our stay directly through them at the hotel.

PATIENT EDUCATION and adherence to therapy are the cornerstones of successful wound and skin care. A successful plan of care should be individualized and clearly documented, with specific, achievable, and measurable objectives. Your plan of care also should include the patient's healing potential, clinical goals, functional outcomes, and the patient's goals.
Evaluating the patient's educational needs starts with a nonjudgmental assessment of what he knows about his condition and its management. After you've planned and implemented patient education, evaluating its effectiveness and measuring his retention of the material is paramount for a successful plan.
Let's look at six assumptions on which adult learning is based:
* The need to know. Adults need to know why they should learn something and how it will benefit them.
* The learner's self-concept. Adults have a self-concept of being responsible for their own life and decisions. They resist situations that make them feel as if other people are telling them what to do. They need to be responsible for their own learning and the direction it takes.
* The role of the learner's experience. Adults tend to be heterogenous in terms of backgrounds, learning styles, motivations, needs, interests, and goals. In adult education, the emphasis is on individualizing teaching and learning strategies. Adults need to be able to draw on their life experiences and apply them to new learning.
* Readiness to learn. Adults are ready to learn the things they need to know to be able to cope effectively with real-life situations.
* Orientation to learning. Adults are problem-centered in their learning approach. They learn new knowledge, attitudes, and skills most effectively if these things are presented in the context of how they apply to real-life situations.
* Motivation. The most potent motivators for adult learning are internal, such as the desire for better quality of life, rather than external, such as higher salaries.
The Joint Commission and the Panel for the Prediction and Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Adults have identified patient education as critical to care delivery. The key principles of effective adult patient education include identifying patient needs (such as skin and wound care learning needs), learning styles, challenges, goals, and physical stressors. Several national healthcare policy organizations, including The Joint Commission, support patient education in their patient-safety goals.
Be sure to incorporate these components into your care plan:
* short-term goals that accurately reflect the patient's status
* long-term goals that accurately reflect the patient's status.
By following these principles, you can tailor patient education to your patient and help him become a partner in his care, so he can have the best possible outcome.

The family that George Zimmerman rescued from an overturned SUV in Florida last week is white ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.
According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, the two adults who were pulled out of their overturned SUV on July 17 were described as a white male and a white female.
The report states that the SUV was traveling toward an off-ramp on State Road 417 when the driver lost control ... causing the vehicle to "go off road and roll over."
As we previously reported, two men responded to the accident and helped pull the family to safety -- one of the rescuers was George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
Officials say there were 4 passengers inside the SUV at the time of the wreck -- 2 parents and 2 children.
TMZ has also obtained the 911 calls placed by witnesses moments after the crash, detailing the accident. Take a listen.
Are you ****ing kidding? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read here.
soooo he didn't witness the accident - was he listening to a police scanner or how did he "respond" to the accident? maybe trying to do something heroic to make people forgive him.....
He probably bullied them or checkened them off the road and created the accident for attention. they were probaby his friends and he is looking for good media attention to be cast with a halo over his fat head
Of course they were white, had the been black he would have shot them, duh.
You know what, I bet he could tell those people were white through the windows just like he could tell Trayvon was black through the rainy night. This guy must have some super bionic eye sight!!!
why does it matter what color they were? really!!!
Who cares about the color? he saved some people who were in need! Get over it
STFU TMZ! TMZ is the most racist website for trying to launch a race war. Zimmerman is a Hispanic in case if you racist morons did not know!
TMZ. -- stop trying to persuade us with your personal opinions!!!! It's always so obvious!!
And if they were black, everyone would be saying he stopped because they were black. I guess no good deed goes unpunished! TMZ really??
They forgot this part: TMZ has reached out to zimmerman's reps to ask if he would have had the same reaction if the car's occupants were black. No comment back yet.
Really TMZ? This is the most TERRIBLE story I have ever read on this site.
BREAKING NEWS: It took TMZ five days to get this report. Who are you paying in the Florida PD to feed you this stuff? I guess he can add rescued a family to his resume when he applies to become a State Trooper huh? Meh!!
Damn! Obviously racist motives.

The city of SeaTac, which is home to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, is an ideal place for apartment seekers looking to belong to a small community while also staying connected with the rest of the state. While the airport is undoubtedly beneficial for SeaTac residents as traveling can be much more efficient, apartment renters in the city probably won't want to leave, especially during the summer when many festivals provide entertainment for those of all ages. The SeaTac Annual International Festival, which typically takes place towards the end of June at Angle Lake Park and other locations, provides a variety of activities for residents to celebrate their city. The event, which is free to the public, is sponsored by the city, the Rotary Club of SeaTac and the Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce. For apartment tenants in SeaTac, the festival includes a parade, a family fun run, a skateboard competition and much more. Vendor booths are also on hand during the festival, providing visitors with a variety of ethnic and festival-type foods, an arts and crafts zone and a kids area. The skateboard competition takes place under the lights at Valley Ridge Park while the family fun run and the parade take place along a one-mile stretch in the city. In addition to the various activities for SeaTac apartment renters to participate in, the festival also includes live entertainment from some of the most popular performers in the Pacific Northwest playing a wide variety of different music styles from around the world.

Being the successful multinational conglomerate that Samsung is, its products are known the world over. But some of its toys are destined for use just in its homeland of Korea. The newly unveiled Galaxy S5 LTE-A is one such product. We can drool over the device, with its support for LTE Advanced and data speeds that most of us in the States can only dream of experiencing (Samsung's advertising speeds of 225mbps down), but there's more of a reason for us to take notice of it than that.

|Born and raised in the rural South, Bertel knows what it's like to live without 4G LTE - or 3G, for that matter. The only things he likes sweeter than his tea are his gadgets, and while few objects burn more than a metal phone on a summer day, he prefers them that way anyway.
Did the world need another music streaming service back when Samsung unveiled Milk Music in March? That's not the point. If you happen to own a Galaxy device (and with them selling by the truckload, there's a good chance that you do), then this exclusive service is well worth a look. Now the company is bringing Milk Music to the big screen by opening up the app to a handful of tablets.
Sprint rolled out support for Wi-Fi calls to a couple of handsets this February, but all other devices that don't already have the feature require a dedicated software update. Fortunately for Galaxy S5 owners, the carrier has announced plans to bring support over to this flagship device. The S5 will be able to make calls and send text messages over registered Wi-Fi networks following an over-the-air update (version G900PVPU1ANE5) that's scheduled to start rolling out today.
The Nest Protect made its Play Store debut recently, yet this was far from its first appearance. The device originally launched last fall, but following the discovery of a safety issue, Nest recalled it a couple of months ago. The company then pushed out an update that fixed previously sold units. Now it's also giving out $33/£20 to people who purchased a Nest Protect prior to June 15th. This should make up for the $30 price drop that accompanied the re-release of the device.
After reaching its funding goal shortly after hitting Kickstarter and finishing the campaign back in October, Pressy units have finally started shipping out to backers. Now while we wait for those to start arriving in peoples' hands, let's take a look at some of the nifty uses for them that are already rolling out. AutomateIt, a tasker alternative, has a new Pressy plugin that turns the device into a trigger for any actions the app is capable of pulling off.
HTC packages an IR blaster into its high-end phones and ships a dedicated app that taps into the hardware. HTC Sense TV, as the app is called, doesn't just change channels, it sucks show listings out of cable boxes and crams them onto smartphone screens. An update has recently rolled out support for Indian TV guides. Indian-based blog Razzil has shared some screens of this beta feature in action.
I'm going to tell you a story. Don't worry, it's rather short, and it will be very easy to follow. Early this year, Google bought Nest, a company that makes cool thermostats, for $3.2 billion. A few months later, Google started to sell said thermostats in the Play Store. Now those thermostats are being joined by a nifty smoke and carbon monoxide alarm called Nest Protect.
As a smoke alarm, Nest Protect isn't quite as exciting as a thermostat.
Typical smartphone alarms are rather rude. They don't care whether someone is ready to get out of bed. All that matters is that it's 6AM, and it's time to get up. Snooze all you want, but in five minutes, it will still be time to get up. Popular iOS app Sleep Cycle tries to be more considerate with its approach. Rather than waking people up precisely at their set time, it monitors their sleep patterns and tries to wake them up during the lightest phase of sleep.
Forget modern day racing. As dangerous as getting behind the wheel of a car going over 200mph in an oval may be, it doesn't compare to hopping on the back of a chariot being dragged by speeding horses and attacked by spiked wheels. When stepping up to the challenge, planning is every bit as important as fortitude, which is why Qvadriga is as much a strategy game as it is a racing one.

Today at lunch a waitress sat down with my friend and I. We go to this particular restaurant often and are chatty, so we're friends enough to sit together during her break, but not enough to make plans outside of the restaurant.
She told us that she was raped in the past.
Now, this wasn't borne from the victim mentality where people have a tragedy in their past that dominates their identity, and thus must be brought to the surface early in every relationship. We were talking about recovering from events like that, and she matter-of-factly brought it up and talked about how she recovered, without once fishing for pity.
It was pretty amazing. Not because I like talking about rape, but because she was willing to pierce the invisible barrier between people that prevents that sort of social intimacy. I don't have any similarly horrifying experiences in my past, but if I did I would have felt comfortable talking about them with her.
That sort of conversation always inspires me. If you ever want to become better friends, you have to break that barrier at some point. When people beat me to it, I admire them. We think of courage as something like going off into the woods with a sword to fight a baby-eating bear, but in real life, it most often manifests itself as making yourself socially vulnerable. The waitress could have kept quiet, worried that we might thing of her differently.
The breach of over-civility doesn't have to be quite so drastic, either. Last night I was sitting in an otherwise empty Samovar Tea Lounge when a couple sat down at the table across from me. Very quickly it became obvious that it was a first date, probably from online dating. How was it so obvious? Well, for one, their conversation was painfully limited to only the most polite conversations. What do you do? Oh, that's great. Where were you raised? Las Vegas? Wow. Three brothers? Yes, I like tea, too.
Here were two people who were obviously eager enough to connect that they got dressed up a bit, traveled to a tea house, and yet they weren't actually connecting. I had the urge to swoop in, not to try to steal the girl or anything dramatic, but just to talk about real things for a minute or two to try to change the tone of the conversation.
I left before the date was over, but my guess is that they won't see each other again. After all, what did either of them say that might have hooked the other? "Ooh, he grew up in Las Vegas. I HAVE to see him again!" All it would have taken was for one of them to take a small risk and reveal something rather than just saying something. That's not a guarantee of future dates, but it may have improved the chances.

SUPER EXCITING NEWS COMING SOON! Hopefully by Thursday... I already have the post written, just have to wait for it to happen.
Thinking about redesigning the site... any suggestsions other than widening this column (which I will do)?
Hmm, so that second gripe should read "RELEVANT related post links". Like if I'm reading "Living in a Small RV: Introduction", I'd love links at the bottom to the next articles in the series.
Tynan, I've been reading your site on and off for what must be a couple years now. There's two things about the design that have ALWAYS bothered / frustrated me.
First is the lack of datestamp on any post. Second is the general lack of "related post" links.
I did, however, just discover the post archive, which sort of solves both those problems. Still...datestamps, man!
@Jay I agree that I can be arrogant sometimes, and I actually do try to keep it in check. I appreciate your critical feedback, too. But in this particular case, I think my error was lack of clarity. What I meant was not "I'm so great so I'll talk about terrible stuff that's happened to me" but "The fact that SHE made the brave move to talk about something serious in a comfortable way would have made me feel comfortable to reciprocate".
Tynan, I enjoy your page, but this is the kind of arrogance that rubs me the wrong way sometimes: "I don't have any similarly horrifying experiences in my past, but if I did I would have felt comfortable talking about them with her."
You really don't know if you'd be comfortable or not. To speak matter of factly about how you'd act if you were the victim of some kind of terrible trauma is kind of insulting to people who have you know - actually had stuff happen to them.
Adding a simple "I hope" [I would have felt comfortable...] would really mitigate this arrogance.
Agree with Graham. Every few minutes of small talk kills me a little inside. Could you make a post on that too? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
This is the same strategy that is outlined in Keith Ferrazzi's book "Never Eat Alone". I use it all the time and it always works.
I like this post. Something to keep in mind for someone who is not very adept at making friends quickly.
Site tip: Whatever changes you make try to keep the design as similar as possible to what people are already used to. People generally shy away from radical change and that can be bad for business. And yes move the search bar up near the top.
Great post, I love the insight as to why/how people connect. One thing that I would really enjoy hearing (reading?) you write about is how to have better/deeper conversations with people. One thing that I personally struggle with is that when I meet new people (or even have known them for a while) I have a hard time making a conversation go further than just "I love tea too!" and similar small-talk. While it sounds so simple, it is one of the biggest things I struggle with.
Oh btw, the banner up at the top wont stay gone when I press hide/never show again. I keep pressing it but it keeps popping back up.
wow, never even thought of it this way. but it so makes sense. I think this is something I struggle with a little. Thanks for bringing to my attention. Something I need to work on
Ever since I can remember, I have been a huge fan of Boy Meets World. With no concept of TV guide or schedules, it was a gift from the heavens above when I would turn on the TV and see the familiar cast. For roughly as long as I was a fan of the show, I had a crush on Topanga - known as Danielle Fishel in real life.
I'm hesitant to post detailed "reports" on meeting women here. Maybe because it's too personal, maybe because it's so easy to misinterpet as mechanical, but for whatever reason I don't love the idea. However, this is a funny story that probably won't offend anyone (except one guy who I don't mind offending.)
The 2004 Pickup Artist Convention, which I had organized, was held in Los Angeles, CA. Normally I'm rather lazy about going out and meeting people. I find it very frustrating to find women I'm genuinely interested in, and the allure of talking to women for practice is much less than it was when I first got into the Pickup Artist thing.
Life would be great if I only knew the lesson of an event before the event. If I knew that my wife would be angry when I complained about Disney food, then I just wouldn't voice those opinions operatically. What I'm finally seeing is that life's lessons happen all the time, we just need to see them.
Two experiences, one yesterday and one fifteen years ago reminded me of this. First the more recent one. While sitting in the gymnastics waiting room earlier this week I was talking about books with one of the other parents there. She was well read in different areas of fiction and I found myself noting book after book. She had me excited to read and that night I logged onto my Amazon.com account and nearly ordered some of the Kindle copies - because she read them on her Kindle.
At the start of the year I decided to limit my book purchases and except for a pair of un-regrettable slip-ups, I haven't missed having the books. Her hour long influence on me almost led me to buy a book. She didn't make me do anything but our conversation had shifted my framing of the world, from my goal to her norm.
The second episode I thought of was in a driver's education class. In this class - which taught me more about talking to girls than driving - the students would talk about what kind of cars we thought were cool. We pined away in our wood-paneled station wagons. One night the conversation turned to luxury cars and I declared that my luxury car of choice was clear, the Pontiac Bonneville

Johnny Cecotto Jr completes Force India's young driver test line-up
|By Matt Beer
|Friday, November 11th 2011, 09:04 GMT
Johnny Cecotto Jr will make his Formula 1 testing debut with Force India in next week's young driver test in Abu Dhabi.
The 22-year-old Venezuelan, son of 1980s F1 racer Johnny Cecotto, will drive on the Wednesday of the test, with fellow GP2 driver Max Chilton in the car on Tuesday and Thursday.
"I think all drivers want to race in Formula 1 so the chance to get time in the Sahara Force India F1 car is a big moment for me," said Cecotto.
"In fact, I can't stop smiling at the thought of driving such an amazing car. I know there's a massive amount to learn and a lot of work to get through on the day, but I definitely feel ready to get behind the wheel.
"I hope I can do a good job and repay the faith the team have shown by giving me a chance in the car."
Cecotto has raced in GP2 since 2009. Driving for Ocean this season, he did not manage any points finishes.
