Beth Holloway: LIGHTS, ACTION, CAMERAS
My thoughts:
What the hell was Beth thinking traveling to Peru to go undercover to shoot a documentary with Peter de Vries? Then to invite Stephanie Flores' brother to her hotel room only for the brother to be met with lights and camera pointing at him as he entered the room.
I didn't think highly of Beth when she allowed Natalie to go to Aruba basically unchaperoned with the end result of Natalie still missing. Yes I know there were chaperones on the trip, however, clearly no one was watching out for one another.
When the sting operation was set up, and background info comes out on how this all went down, it wasn't in my eyes "poor Beth" as they all were aware of what they were trying to do and that was to get Joran anyway possible.
However, Joran outwitted all the professionals leaving them without their money, and with THEIR money was able to travel to Peru with the end result of Stephanie's death.
Now we have this undercover documentary investigation, with Beth part of the team to try and meet with Joran as well as the Flores' family member and Beth doesn't even clue in her famous attorney "John Q. Kelly".
I sure would like to know if Natalie's father was even aware of what Beth was doing and if he approved of her adventure to Peru. Clearly Nantalie's father wasn't aware of the sting operation, so it makes sense that Natalie's father wasn't aware of Beth's plan to go to Peru.
Who is the brains of this undercover investigation? Clearly Mr. de Vries would do anything for a story and included Beth in his quest, or perhaps their quest to get into Castro Castro.
Didn't anyone even think that they both could have been arrested and put in the Peruvian jail and sit there for a long time never to leave Peru until their case was heard?
Let's talk money here. Who paid for this trip to Peru? What is Beth getting out of this documentary?
The general public complained when Joran's mother spoke to de Vries and people were down on Anita because there had to be money made. So is Beth making money off this documentary? Is the organization that Beth started, of which, takes donations pay for Beth's trip to Peru?
Beth is now in Aruba (9/18/10) and that costs $$$'s also. Is Beth planning on "blind-siding" Joran's mother with lights, camera, action tactics like Beth and company did to Stephany Flores' brother?
Is Beth still partners with John Ramsey and perhaps Ramsey is footing the bill for Beth's travels here there and everywhere?
Eventually this documentary will be aired and perhaps a clearer picture will come forward.
What was Beth Holloway Thinking?
My thoughts:
There is a right way and a wrong way to do things in life, and breaking the law is not the way to do it.
Although it is really hard to know what is fact in what happened with Beth getting into Castro Castro with Peter de Vries, but clearly Peter de Vries did not have the best interest of Beth when they collectively decided to go to Peru to confront Joran Vander Sloot. Didn't either one of them even realize that they could have been arrested because of their actions and they both could have ended up in a Peruvian prison themselves?
I understand a mother's need to get answers, but breaking the law is not the way to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if Joran's attorney doesn't file harassment charges against both of them and charges against Castro Castro for not protecting Joran.
I am not a fan of Joran, but since Joran is sitting in prison, filing charges against Beth, Peter and Castro Castro, would just be another way of Joran getting another hands up on Beth Holloway.
Mistakes made:
Allowing a Natalie to go to another country basically unattended.
Agreeing to set up a sting to try and get info on Natalie's whereabouts.
Sting money allowed Joran to travel to Peru with the end result of Stephanie's murder.
Going to Castro Castro to attempt to speak to Joran without going through the proper channels to do so.
It is really time for everyone involved to take a step back, ponder their thoughts before acting on impulse.

Kaine Horman Drops Contempt Charges Against Terri Horman
Now this is really interesting that Kaine dropped the charges and there is no explanation of why Kaine dropped the charges. Remember these charges came about when Kaine found out that Terri showed Michael Cook the contents of the sealed Restraining Order.
IMO, there was a huge gray area with regards to this RO and when it was sealed, if Terri knew about it being sealed, and when the media got info regarding the RO.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/09/kaine_horman_drops_contempt-of.html
Kaine told KGW that dropping the motion also serves other purposes.
"It's an act of good faith on our part," Kaine told KGW. "It shows that we're serious about not wasting the court's time with side issues. We want to get the divorce wrapped up so we can deal the important things and move forward."

Dr. Lillian Glass' Analysis Of The Video Of Caylee.
This is the video under analysis by Dr. Glass.
Dr. Glass states: The first editorial comment I will make with regard to this video is that it made me terribly sad. In fact, it brought tears to my eyes and left me with a sick feeling in my stomach and a heaviness in my heart as I saw how this poor child was neglected both verbally and emotionally.
My thoughts:
I didn't get a sick feeling when I viewed this video now or when I first saw it at least a year and a half ago. When I watched this video back then, I just saw a Caylee sitting in a high chair with tidbits of food, probably a snack and just blabbering away and SOMEONE recording it.
I see no emotional or verbal neglect by the videographer. Apparently, IMO, Caylee must of be either singing or talking and the videographer just decided to record the happenings. IF you talk to the child at the time you want to capture a moment, you will lose the moment.
Dr. Glass states: it is essential for anyone interacting with a child to visualize with them. That is how a child develops their speech an language skills.
My thoughts:
You don't have to interact every single moment with a child to learn. For all we know, just prior to the recording, there could have been some time where they BOTH were signing. We have no clue what happened moments before the camera started rolling.
Dr. Glass states: What shocked me even more was that the only time Casey interacted with Caylee. she uttered a word as if to question what Caylee said. She questioned whether her child was saying the words ” “I kill? ” I could not believe my ears!
Caylee had emotional needs in this video that were clearly not being met . These needs were ignored. To me that is cruel and abusive.
My thoughts:
There is absoultely no indication that the words uttered by the videographer says: "I kill". I remember when someone posted on blogs this is what they think they heard. This traveled like a weed throughout forums, bringing anyone who hears the tape to say "Yup I heard it loud and clear".
I could write that I heard "IKEA" and with my power of suggestion with the word "IKEA", everyone will then hear the same thing.
Dr. Glass feels it is "cruel and abusive" because the videographer did not speak to Caylee. WTH! I recall back in the day when I would watch my son while he sat in his high-chair and I didn't say a word to him, but just observed the moments of what he was doing. Although 40 + years ago I didn't have a camcorder but I would take a camera shot of those moments.
Dr. Glass states: If you look at the first photo above, you will see that Caylee begins to have a frustrated concerned look on her face as she is sitting in her high chair with individual pieces of cereal spead ou , along with her her baby bottle. She is verbalizing and singing. She verbalizes and sings what sound like “Ah keyeh”
My thoughts:
Caylee is NOT frustrated in the video at all, she is just puzzled at what is staring back at her.
I could talk to my dog every moment, however if I point a camera at him, he stops and looks at me.
Dr. Glass states: Since the /s/ sounds aren’t yet formed in a child of that age, it may be her attempt to say “ A kiss” Maybe she is asking Casey who is filming this video for a kiss to indicate that she is loved. In the photo above you see the beginnings of her frustration and tenseness by her little furrowed brow as she is ignored by Casey.
My thoughts:
WTH! How could anyone possibly know what Caylee might be saying at this age. Also, we have no clue who is filming Caylee.
Dr. Glass: Now Caylee is very upset as she leaks out the facial expression indicating that she is about to cry. She even curls in her lower lip. Look at her sad eyes . She tries to communicate that she wants a response as she raises her hand and points her finger.
My thoughts:
At no point in this video was Caylee going to cry. You can see that Caylee at one moment went into deep thought as she looked out the window.
Dr. Glass states: Casey films Cayee’s legs from 1:30 to 2:32 where there is continued silence.
She films Caylee under the table and now shoots a close up of Caylee’r crotch area. The implications are highly disturbing. Why would anyone video their child’s crotch area?
It certainly makes one wonder of there were any sexual issues or concerns involved here? I am not accusing Casey of sexually molesting Caylee. I am just staying that this behavior is odd and raises some concerns. It is not typical behavior.
My thoughts:
WTH?
At one point the videographer started to bend down, IMO, as to hide from Caylee and holding the camera as still as possible. So they filmed Caylee's cute little legs, and happened to capture Caylee strapped into the high chair. Should we believe that the videographer was "FOCUSING" in on Caylee's crotch? Absolutely not! However, Dr. Glass' "power of suggestion" would want us to believe that this was the purpose of seeing Caylee's strapped into her high chair.
You can clearly see that the videographer tried to capture an opening right under Caylee's left arm pit, however when Caylee leaned over the high chair, she wasn't upset and happened to be all smiles. We never did get to see if Caylee leaned the other way but the camera didn't catch it.
Dr. Glass states: Caylee also thinks that it is odd that she is being filmed under her high chair. So she peers under her high chair to see what is so interesting that it has to be filmed.
My thoughts:
WTH? How could Caylee possibly even think that it is odd that she is being filmed from under the high chair? Now it's possible Caylee might understand "peek-a-boo" however clearly no concept of what a camera can do or what is odd at this age. WTH!!!!
Dr. Glass states: For the first time, we see Caylee smile a genuine smile as she thinks that this may be some sort of a game.
My thoughts:
Of course Caylee thinks it's a game. Whoever is recording her is playing a "silent" peek-a-boo.
I will address the last part only because the other stuff is "pure" speculation and misleading.
Dr. Glass states: One can only wonder how long Caylee remained uncomfortably in that high chair. The bottom line is that to not speak to your child when they verbalize and gesture for you to interact with them is inhumane.
My thoughts:
At no point was it evident that Caylee was uncomfortable in the high chair. When children want out of a high chair, they try and stand up, they put up a big fuss, they start to cry etc. There was no indication that Caylee was uncomfortable.
I guess I am guilty of being "inhumane" when I didn't interact with my child as he sat in a high chair eating some cheerios. My goodness, less then 2 minutes of silence between a child and a videographer is "INHUMANE".
DONE

New Jersey Housewives Reunion - August 30, 2010
There were two of these urns but one was broken by Jacqueline's mother the day that they were all leaving for Italy.
The picture of the pool table is the same one that was in one of the scenes of NJ housewives. Teresa was on one end of the table leaning down to her "boobies" we on the table while her hubby was ready to shoot pool.
Poker table were the husbands of the housewives were teaching Jacqueline's daughter's boyfriend how to play poker.
Catalog of all the items up for auction with the MANSION. Note there is one "Go-Cart", of which, was given to the older daughter on her birthday. Remember that lavious party Teresa gave for her daughter with the limo and all?
http://www.ajwillnerauctions.com/auctions/catalogs/Auction559/GIUDICE%20INVENTORY.pdf
My thoughts:
After watching Part 2 of the reunion, and how everyone acted, I would only be lowering myself if I broke down my thoughts of each and every NJ Housewife.
I will say this though, it appears Caroline only has control of the "housewives" more so then within her own household. :)

Martin Luther King Jr., "I Have A Dream" August 28, 1963
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

Cesar Laurean Guilty Of First Degree Murder
The jury returned a guilty verdict of first degree murder, not guilty of robbery with a dangerous weapon, and guilty of financial card theft.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/08/23/1788589/nc-jury-ex-marine-guilty-of-killing.html#ixzz0xSyh6oY7
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/23/AR2010082303811.html
My thoughts:
I am thrilled over the outcome of the trial today. I recall how draining it was when Maria went missing, how she was murdered along with her child, and then Cesar taking off.
Issues nor Nancy Grace seemed to show little to no interest in the case, however today I just found out that the baby Maria was carrying was not even Cesar's. I found an article back from May 15, 2009 indicating the DNA results showed Cesar was not the father of the unborn child.
All that matters is justice has been served for Maria and Baby Gabriel. Although Cesar's attorney feels Cesar is "not guilty" of the crime and plans to appeal, however, they can appeal all they want, Cesar is GUILTY!!!!
