I ran into this video today by accident and found it to be really cool. Not only is the footage cool, but to see these athletes and dare-devils up-close during their high-risk sports and to not see any fear or high stress in their face — mind-blowing!!
Do click full-screen to watch this high quality little camera at its best! And don’t think it is expensive…these cameras start in the mid-$200 range. That’s nbelievable. Wishing I was more of an athlete today! I’d get one of these little cameras. Very cool!

Are you a distrusting person? Do you wonder what people’s motives are often? Do you feel strangers will take advantage of you, if given the opportunity?
Old wisdom was if you are trusting, you’re the fool. New research puts that belief to rest. The most trusting of people among us, research shows, are the best lie detectors, and I am not surprised.
As someone who sees lies frequently, I know that most lies are not mean nor malicious — these are the rarity. Most lies are harmless, first and foremost, and really don’t involve the person being lied to at all. But second, I believe harmful and malicious liars give away signals long before they are even aware of it, which gives me confidence I will spot them before I am hurt, so the reality is I don’t worry about it.
In looking back at people who I have encountered who had bad intentions, I can tell you I was on to them long before they think they dropped a clue, and when I dropped them like a hot potato, they were typically stunned, often clueless as to why–not knowing the little inconsistencies they left as a trail leading up to them. It’s rather funny in hindsight.
Scientists wonder how do people who trust people and who are good at spotting lies get that way. Is it because they take more risks, get more social exposure, and hence more experience? They learn from their mistakes? Or are they just more sensitive and have an innate ability that predisposes them to pick up the clues better than others — hence giving them the confidence that they know they will spot the clues before they have worry?
I have to say I am not a risk taker. I prefer to calculate my odds and have a plan that has a good chance of succeeding. I also was not a highly social person in life either. I have always been quite content to spend my time alone. While I can be very outgoing when I am out, I am also quite happy to stay home, so I don’t think for me it was due to lots of social exposure either. I personally think I was able to be comfortable with people because I innately saw the signs of danger before they were harmful to me, and that allowed me to become more trusting than I otherwise would have been.

Diena Thompson gave a grant from the Somer Thompson Foundation to Billie Dunn to pay her bills for the month while she is going through this difficult time. BigCountryhomepage.com has the story and video.
Diena Thompson’s daughter, Somer Thompson, went missing in 2009 and was later found in a landfill. After several months, police arrested a local guy for the murder, but his trial has not yet started.
Diena Thompson said to the reporter in tears, “Makes you feel like its you again, like its your story again.”
“There aren’t words in the English literature or any other, you know, language for me to express to anyone what it feels like to be in this situation–to be in this club that nobody wants to belong to, and the dues are way too high,” said Diena.
Diena says, “I hope that Somer is looking down on her mommy, and proud.”
Billie Dunn said, “For her to understand it so perfectly, um, there’s things that she can tell me, things that I can tell her…we can talk about and we completely understand.”
I have always found Diena Thompson to be unusual and I have always believed she knew more than she has told us.
Thanks, Seeker, for the update.

Aaron Young, Elisa Baker’s ex-husband of 10 years, speaks out about Zahra’s death in an exclusive interview with News 14 Carolina. In this interview, Young talks about several things that I am confident he is being honest about. He tells us that Elisa was jealous of the attention that Zahra would get. He also tells us that Adam, Zahra’s biological father, was a good guy and that he would do anything for anybody. I believe these are absolutely true.
Last he tells us that he thinks Elisa is capable of doing this horrible act by herself, which I believe Aaron truly believes. From what I see of Adam Baker myself, he was the typical nice guy, though nice guys do get caught up in the spells of psychopaths, unfortunately.
I do not think that Aaron Young was involved in killing Zahra Baker. I believe him here. I was confused when he said in the first video that he has had nothing to do with Elisa since February, but in the third video he said he took Zahra swimming with five other children in August, but I suspect he was with Adam and Zahra and not Elisa, but I would double check that if I could…just to be sure.
Read my opinion of Zahra’s biological father, Adam Baker, here.

Here is an interesting article on the Stacey Burns murder, which talks about her husband’s behavior. Ed Burns apparently had Stacey quite afraid of him–at one point threatening to cut off “body parts”. Another time he woke her at 4 a.m., was standing over her and told her “death or divorce”. Ed was not happy about hearing his wife wanted to separate from him. Witnesses also told the court, when Stacy filed for an emergency restraining order, that Ed burned her clothes and cosmetics.
Stacey got a restraining order against Ed in 2007 for a year, and a year later, she got it renewed by a judge for a 5 year period, but during that time, she softened again, and let Ed back into her life for her children’s sake. And it didn’t take long for Ed to petition to the court to remove the restraining order. That was late in 2008 and by Mother’s Day she was found murdered.
Stacey had told the court about Ed, “I feel afraid of what Ed would do if the restraining order was lifted. I am fearful of Ed coming into my house while myself and my five children are there.”
Past behavior, as Dr. Phil says, is often a good predictor of future behavior.
