I knew he didn't like the black tie events; didn't call her for assistance when he appeared on The Apprentice; spent huge amounts of time apart; he always had a look on his face like a boy keeping quite because he had something to hide (closed lipped, sometimes a smirk, very quiet) and I can say all this with the authority of HINDSIGHT.
Relationships are a funny thing. The actual relationship can have its own personality (sort of speak) and each relationship can be compared to others. Think back to the days when Angelina Jolie couldn't keep her hands of of Billy Bob, then Brad. She is a very passionate person. Something I learned from a lawyer friend who specializes in Prenuptial contracts, the more they touch each other and are passionate, the MORE likely the marriage will not last! Passion does not keep you going year after year.
Sandra leans toward the passionate side- Jessie is reserved. This is a baseline.
Take a look at the below collection of pictures, all taken before the news broke of Jessie's wandering ways.
Of about 150 pictures taken in the last several months, with both of them in the picture, I only see a handful where they are truly interacting with each other.
Back to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. There have been rumors about their relationship, for this very same reason. In their pictures they are more out of sync with each other. Who Knows?◦

Spontaneous Utterance
If you are investigating a situation, and have a strong suspicion that a person has done something wrong (such as stealing a few bucks out of the cash drawer at closing) a powerful technique is to not confront them directly about your suspicion, but instead ask them questions where THEY make a leap of logic.
For instance, you confront the the possible thieve saying, "Something weird happened at closing last night, not sure if everything was done right, I mean some of the lights were still on when I opened this morning."
Silence is your friend at this point. The person will feel the need to speak, will cognitively be trying to figure this all out, and will know what he/she has done and may say, "Hey boss I didn't take any money."
This is a Spontaneous Utterance.
You say, "Hey, wait a minute. I was asking you about the lights being left on, and you blindside me by denying something I was even asking you about. I did notice the deposit was a little light... I'm disappointed. Only the person who took it would feel the need to deny taking it?!?! when I wasn't even asking you about it."
This technique can easily be adapted to almost every situation. It is a favorite for police officers on patrol who come into contact with a variety of criminals, who undoubtedly have fishy explanations why they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But this simple technique works just as well if you are trying to get to the bottom of who took the last cookie from the cookie jar.◦

"Human Lie Detector" Dr. Lillian Glass is on VH1 Reality Show
I had never heard of this show, but I saw "Human Lie Detector" in the guide and set the DVR. The 'Tools' are put up against the human lie detector test during this week's trust therapy session. While I will not set the DVR to record the series, the first 10-15 minutes where Dr. Lillian Glass evaluates the 'Tools' is informative; I really liked seeing the reactions when the couples were brought back together- the emotions that are shown are genuine.
I really noticed the adam apples of many of the contestants (sentitive/stressful); pacifying behavior from both in the room; the first time I watched the video I felt one of them showed Duper's Delight when he was told he was being truthful with the first question- could be he was extremely happy with her reaction (which was positive)- the second time it appeared more truthful.
Compared to other reality shows, it appears the expressions and gestures are "real" where with some reality shows I get the impression that producers control the outward appearance of the contestants through coaching.◦

Australian Formula One Grand Prix, Ironic Gesture and Facial Expression
Jessica Michibata celebrates with the winners trophy of boyfriend Jenson Button of Great Britain and McLaren Mercedes in the paddock after he wins the the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at the Albert Park Circuit on March 28, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia.
This is one of those ironic combos. In the celebration that followed the win, Jessica is elated and holds the trophy above her head (anti gravity gesture), but at the same time she deliberately closes her eyes- where normally in a celebration we'd keep our eyes wide open to take as much visual stimulation in.
It could be she was overwhelmed and gave herself a short break, allowing herself to cognitively process what she was physically feeling. When you go through a stressful and emotional period (where she undoubtedly was sitting on the edge of her seat, jumping up and down, etc.) and come out happy, in our minds we could close our eyes to briefly say, "This was a great day, I can now end it on such a great high."
It also could be she was screaming so loud, she closed her eyes so she physically could focus and give the screen all she had.
Anytime you see two seemingly conflicting "things" it is usually noteworthy.◦

Jarred Harrell Arrested for Murder of Somer Thompson
There was a ton of experts who said she was fake crying, and odd... I want it to be known that within days of her daughter being kidnapped I wrote about this case and said she had nothing to do with it. I do not wait for reader comments before my analysis. I know I am more technical than others, but I do not feed on anybody else opinions before making a statement about any case. I have not slammed other expert(s), and I have not been shy about my analysis. I have been asking myself why do I do this, and it is cases like this that keep me going...◦
Microexpressions with the Hereos vs. Villains
When Russell takes his seat, we see two microexpressions of contempt. It is rare to see contempt like Russell does here, usually a person shows contempt on only one side of the face, each and every time.
I would suggest watching the entire video without the volume, and studying their expression and gestures. I see contempt several more times, and Colby gives a great subtle microexpression of disgust. I believe there are 10+ microexpressions in this ten minute video.◦
