Head Shakes

/in /by

Head shakes are not as black and white as some understand them to be. Just because someone says something positive, but shakes their head “no” doesn’t mean it is inconsistent. There are many exceptions to head shakes to apply this rule across the board.  As with all things in deception, you must understand the nuances of communication first and foremost.

In this video, you will see George say to David Wright, “It sure puts a new spin on their split” to which David answers “Absolutely” as he shakes his head no.  If you applied the head shake concept to this and believed David was insincere, you’d be mistaken.

Hotspots in Jesse James Words

/in /by

In this interview, it is interesting to listen to the slip-up made by Jesse James.

Piers Morgan: What do you think when you hear that back?

Jesse James: Ah, it just kind of takes me back to that day. It was sad.  It’s tough…it’s tough to tell someone something…someone that you love, it tough to tell them something when you know when you tell them that you are never going to see them again.

Morgan: And you knew that then?

James: Yeah, I’m… I was pretty sure.

HOTSPOT EXPLAINED

“I’m…”  as in “I am…pretty sure.” Why would he be thinking in present tense? This doesn’t make sense. He slipped here.  I bet most people won’t hear it when he says it.

I went out and read about Sandra’s reaction to his book, and interestingly a source close to Sandra is telling the media, “He didn’t warn her about the book at all — she had no idea he was even considering it until after he’d signed the contract,” She’s devastated. Sandra’s told Jesse they can no longer be friends — even for the kids’ sake. She decided she has to herself first. She couldn’t deal with him anymore.”

Interesting, huh?

I personally wouldn’t trust Jesse James farther than I could see him.

Thanks to Karon for the story suggestion!

Greg Mortenson and Charities

/in /by

I absolutely love watching 60 Minutes, though I haven’t been able to watch it lately. They do great work. I love how they uncover and investigate stories like this. This is great to watch. Watch Greg Mortenson talk.

Sadly, however, I’ve seen so much fraud in charities that I don’t trust them anymore. Anyone can hang out a shingle and say it is for a good cause when its not. And even well known and supposed “trusted” charities have been embroiled in controversy, too. There are no safe guards, unfortunately, for the generous of heart. Something needs to change!

I certainly believe the people who spoke out against Mortenson, without a doubt.

Dalia Dippolito: GUILTY!
