UPDATE: Casey Anthony murder trial Day 21 - Prosecution does not want evidence entered by defense, WHY? Dr. Timothy Huntington

Orlando, Florida - The Casey Anthony murder trial continued this morning with the defense putting on Dr. Timothy Huntington a bug expert. The head prosecutor Jeff Ashton  is getting increasingly upset with the defenses witnesses countering his evidence and is constantly objecting to anything he says, when it is against their evidence. He's getting so frustrated he is even objecting to "not being able to see photos?"Jose Baez, defense attorney asked questions to the expert, as to what would cause a stain in the trunk of a dead body and Dr. Huntington tried to give his opinion and thoughts but the prosecution objected. However, the prosecution bug expert had given the same evidence when he was a witness for the prosecution. The jury was not in the courtroom for the exchange between Baez and Ashton but the bottom line, Judge Perry allowed the witness to give testimony before the jury.

The main objection from the prosecution was the fact that Dr. Huntington was saying that he could determine if a dead body had been in the car trunk by the stain, or the amount of blow flies in the trunk. The prosecutions evidence showed there was one blow fly leg in the trunk and that it was inside a bag of trash that was there, and Dr. Huntington said if a dead body was present, "there would be hundreds, if not thousands of dead flies."

So was there a dead body in Casey Anthony's car?

The trial has recessed for lunch.

A caravan of vehicles left the Orange County Jail and Casey was in one of them and there were hundreds of onlookers with cameras and of course nasty signs and shouting “baby killer”   and other profanities as she headed to places unknown. They may say, “we will not watch any interview”   but we know they will all watch it because everyone wants to know what took   31 days for her to report Caylee missing.

Caylee will not be forgotten ….

Volunteers are what makes Toronto's 'Caribana' so successful and last night was an example, at ScotiaBank Toronto Caribbean Carnival kickoff

Toronto, Canada - At Lamport Stadium in Toronto's west end thousands gathered for the kickoff of ScotiaBank Toronto Caribbean Carnival and volunteers make the difference, as one of North America's largest Caribbean celebrations got underway.

The 44th parade starts tomorrow, Saturday and runs along the Lakshore Blvd. with almost/or over a million revelers expected, and there is special seating available to see all the action much closer, if you want to pay the additional fee.

This young women must have had a professional make-up artist do this to her, but apparently not. She did all the makeup herself and she has been a volunteer for the event since she was a young girl, well done. Fortunately the rain held out last night and for the parade on Saturday, the forecast is no rain or she may have lost her beautiful makeup.

And as you can see the volunteers start at a very young age as this 15 year old helps with many different floats, preparing them for last nights event and will be in full swing on Saturday for the parade.

On Friday at Lamport Stadium the forces were out in plain view as they cracked down on people selling products (food, carnival items) without a license. Metro Licensing Commission Enforcement made their tour around the stadium with police in tow as they cautioned people about selling food products and it's against the city by-laws. One of the Enforcement officers said "It's just like someone with a licensed hot dog stand, but the guy across the street is selling without a license."

The problem is that a license costs between $5-600 per year and the city does not sell licenses for single events or for a weekend. Why not? The city says they are "BROKE" why not sell licenses for one event, one weekend, one day, wouldn't that generate income?

Licensing is an excellent idea, especially when it comes to food, and our health, but why hassle Caribbean Carnival vendors and not other events, like the Taste of the Danforth? I have never seen any Enforcement Officers at the Taste of the Danforth, why Not? And the troops were out in full force, for a very small crowd of about 3-4000 people who paid $38 each to attend the event. Do these enforcement officers target only certain groups?

It shall be interesting to see how they stop the millions on Saturday at the parade on Lakeshore Blvd.
UPDATE: Sunday morning it was reported in the Toronto Star that one man was shot and killed and two others received minor injuries when a Toronto Police officer shot the unnamed man with the gun. Special Investigations Unit  is investigating. Very sad indeed. More INFO on the shooting this weekend at the ScotiaBank Caribbean Carnival, CLICK HERE

Double Your Order, It’s ‘FREE’ – All You Pay Is ‘EXTRA Shipping And Handling,’ Which Turns Out More Than The One Product

Anytown, Anywhere - We have all seen the ads on TV that say “As seen on TV”  and now the newest twist is, they force you to buy two products, even if you only want one. How is that, and why do they force us to buy more than one item, I thought the second product was FREE?

Maybe it’s only me, but it seems like a huge ripoff, since the second product is  ‘FREE’  you are required to pay EXTRA shipping and handling.  The EXTRA S&H works out to almost three times the cost of one product. I hope stores don’t start this idea, can you imagine, sorry you can’t buy one bottle of milk or one loaf of bread, you must buy five. How are they getting away with this scam?

I’ve called the TV sales numbers, and it’s hard to get a final total cost. They say  “it’s plus S&H and taxes,”  and I ask several times,  “What’s the total cost?” and we keep going in circles. They don’t want you to know, they want you to know, it’s only $9.95, but when you get the charges on your credit card after delivery, it works out to almost $40.

And most people are so embarrassed, they just eat it, and don’t complain, or ask for a refund because the refunds are usually allowed, but that’s minus the S&H so it’s more expensive to send it back, than what you originally paid in the beginning.

Sure, it’s fair for people to make money on their products, but to deceive and ripoff people, that is not fair. But what are governments doing about these new twists to TV deals? It appears nothing, since I see them more and more everyday. I’ve called a few times, and you can’t even buy just one item, you are required to receive your FREE  product but must pay the additional shipping and handling charges.

Are you buying these TV products, and do you feel ripped off? Maybe we all better ask,  ”What’s the final charges?” If you agree and LIKE this story, please click the LIKE button below, and tell everyone you know. If we stop buying in this way, maybe they will change it back??
