ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE TIM ROTH UNRAVELS THE TRUTH
IN THE SUSPENSEFUL CRIME DRAMA
Lie To Me
SEASON ONE
Season One Of The Hit Series Arrives On Blu-ray Disc And DVD
August 25 From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
“...an unusually meaty, thoughtful and thought-provoking crime drama...
dramatic and mesmerizing”
- Tom Shales, Washington Post
CENTURY CITY, CA – The average person tells three lies in ten minutes of conversation. From writer Samuel Baum (“The Evidence”) and the executive producers of “24” and “Arrested Development” comes “Lie To Me,” a compelling drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of Dr. Paul Ekman, a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose both truth and lies in criminal investigations. On Blu-ray Disc and DVD, the first season debuts August 25 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
“Easily one of the season’s best new shows” (Washington Post), “Lie To Me” stars OscarÒ nominee* Tim Roth (“The Incredible Hulk”) as Dr. Cal Lightman, the world’s leading deception expert, and his company The Lightman Group, who study facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover if someone is lying and why. Assisting federal law enforcement, government agencies and local police with their most difficult cases, the agency consists of Dr. Gillian Foster (Kelli Williams, “The Practice”), a gifted psychologist; Eli Loker (Brendan Hines, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Lightman’s professional partner and lead researcher; and Ria Torres (Monica Raymund, “Law & Order Special Victims Unit”), the newest member of the agency with an innate ability to read people. In the groundbreaking first season of the hit show, the drama unfolds as the team is faced with numerous cases to unravel including a student fleeing a murder scene, a college basketball player accused of accepting a bribe from his university, a NASA test pilot accused of intentionally crashing a multimillion dollar aircraft, and much more!
The “Lie To Me” Blu-ray and DVD sets include 13 episodes, featurettes, deleted scenes and a gag reel, and will be sold for a suggested retail price of $59.99 U.S. / $69.99 Canada and $49.98 U.S. / $59.98 Canada, respectively. Prebook date is July 15.

Great Article About Body Language
http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/23/body-language-first-impression-forbes-woman-leadership-communication.html
This is a must read for women in the office setting.
Some of the things you will learn about are:
--Tilting your head--a sign of listening that can be misinterpreted as one of submission or even flirting.
--Folding your hands on your lap--hiding your hands under a conference table or desk, for example, signals untrustworthiness; a cue from ancient times, when men would reveal their palms to show they were unarmed.
--Crossing your legs--a sign of resistance.
--Excessive smiling--an indication that you lack gravitas and seriousness.
--Folding your arms in front of you--translates to insecurity or defensiveness.
--Playing with or tugging at your hair, jewelry or clothes--can signal distress or, again, be misinterpreted as flirting.
A must read! Check out the 'Seven Common Body Language Mistakes in Pictures' included in the article.◦
Stop the Crying Already... Besides You're Not Really Crying
This is something you got to learn to detect, and perhaps is the easiest to detect. It is so unnatural.
Video One:
Investigators were trying to locate a schoolteacher, Leah Walsh who went missing after calling her husband to say her car had broken down with a flat tire on the side of a Long Island highway, in October of 2008.
Click here to view the video
Several Things do not add up and are strange about the husband, as he pleads for her return, and she can have his car, and with the crying and a quick snap out of that emotional state.
Video Two:
At 1:10 into the video Ronald Cummings cries and pleads for his daughter, Haleigh Cummings return.
There are quite some differnces in crying styles seen in the video. With Ron there are no tears, holds facial expression too long which is a sign of a forced emotion (unless he is in a full sadness with tears and tension in other parts of the face like others in the video do show).
There are many more examples, such as Susan Smith's plea for her kids return and I have seen this in countless other spouses and parents.
If you hear this constructed "emotion" be warned something is not right about the situation, and they are acting... badly acting.◦

Subtle Expression Training Tool (SETT)
I was looking through the search terms you visitors use to get to my blog, and I noticed several people searching for the Subtle Expression Training Tool (Sett). Developed by Dr. Paul Ekman, but unfortunately this software is unavailable at this time. I got an email from his office and it is expected to be released again around the end of the summer 2009.
It used to be available and it is really the next step beyond Microexpressions. It examines how the core emotions can be shown on only part of the face. They occur when an emotion is first beginning. They also occur when someone is trying to suppress any sign of how they are feeling. Recognizing true feelings is important to the craft.
One thing you can do now: When I got the software it came with Ekman's book listed below. This book is the basis of the training and all of the expressions and emotions you will be learning with the training tool is explained in detail. So if you cannot wait, I'd suggest getting a head start.

Roadside Crosses: A Kathryn Dance Novel Releases this Week
The Monterey Peninsula is rocked when a killer begins to leave roadside crosses beside local highways -- not in memoriam, but as announcements of his intention to kill. And to kill in particularly horrific and efficient ways: using the personal details about the victims that they've carelessly posted in blogs and on social networking websites.
The case lands on the desk of Kathryn Dance, the California Bureau of Investigation's foremost kinesics -- body language-expert. She and Deputy Michael O'Neil follow the leads to Travis Brigham, a troubled teenager whose role in a fatal car accident has inspired vicious attacks against him on a popular blog, The Chilton Report.
