Ashley Spencer Caught Stealing Kids Photos And Using Them In Her Testimonial
Ok so here is the story as I know it. This Ashley Spencer stole a picture from Flickr of This Womans kids and used them in a fake testimonial for her book "How To Conceive The Gender of Your Choice".Not a book I would part with my hard earned $47.00 for even if the testimonials were real. If this keeps just 1 person from being scammed then this post will be well worth putting up...
For anyone who has seen the movie Alpha Dog. This is the true story behind the movie. I have done some research on the story and would like to share with you what I have learned. This is a work in progress so check back often. I have also done the same with the movie 'Bully' The Story Of Marty Puccio and Bobby Kent and you can find that on this site also. I hope you enjoy...

Susan's Blurbs About me: I am the Mother of~ Nicholas Samuel Markowitz 9/19/84-8/9/2000 Information all over the internet, if you can't find it there, you can ask me. To get the jest of it, rent or buy Alpha Dog. May You Be Blessed With Many More Hugs~
Do not stand by my grave or hold my locket and weep. I am not there.I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow. I am a diamond glint in the snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star shine at night. Do not stand by my grave or hold my locket and cry. I am not there... I did not die.
POMC has been very helpful in helping me through the initial months after my only child Nick Markowitz 15, was kidnapped and executed.
You can watch the movie Alpha Dog to understand the story it is very confusing! No I haven't received a penny from the movie, maybe someone has connections there? I refer that movie to thousands of people and it could help pay for my medical bills that this tragedy has incurred. Is that tacky? I hope not, I just feel guilty sometimes for getting the help I know I need. And that I feel just shouldn't be!
I am trying to bring us together online and maybe somehow get to know each other to give the support no one else understands.
On August 6, 2000, Nick Markowitz, a handsome 15-year-old boy with an endearing widow's peak crowning his dark brown hair, ambled down a street in West Hills, California. It was just after noon on a searing hot Sunday that would top off at 99 degrees before sunset, and Nick was in a foul mood.
The night before, he'd had a run-in with his parents when he came home at midnight with something suspicious bulging in his back pocket. His parents had good reason to be concerned — they'd caught Nick with Valium and marijuana in the past. When his father demanded to see what was in his pocket, Nick bolted out the door.
At 19, he bought a 3-story white stucco home for $200,000, just a few blocks away from the Markowitz family, making the $41,000 down payment in cash. He drove a black Mercedes and a blue sports car.
Neighbors often saw him in the front yard hanging out with a group of young men similarly dressed in jeans and tank tops, smoking in the shade of large elm tree. In the backyard, he kept two pit bulls. They also noticed strange goings-ons, cars that would pull up to the house night and day, drivers who would dash inside for a minute before leaving again.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An appeals court on Thursday ordered a deputy district attorney removed from a high-profile death penalty case because the prosecutor had shared confidential files with movie producers. Defense attorneys had asked for the entire Santa Barbara County district attorney's office to be removed from the case against Jesse James Hollywood.
Hollywood is accused of masterminding a plot to kidnap and kill 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz in August 2000 because the teenager's older half-brother owed Hollywood a $1,200 drug debt.
From a stack of exhibits in a cramped room on the top floor of Santa Barbara's Moorish-style courthouse, evidence clerk Alicia Romero pulls out a weathered cardboard container, about the size of a large box of chocolates.
The stubby black Intratec Tec-9 machine pistol is still dirty in spots. Ms. Romero insists on rubber gloves. She's concerned about the bodily fluids and the chemical residue that remain on the weapon's dark brushed-metal finish.
SANTA BARBARA – Longtime fugitive Jesse James Hollywood has been yanked out of a comfortable life in Brazil and back to California, where he faces charges of kidnapping and killing a 15-year-old boy.
Hollywood, 25, taught English and was living with a young woman in a fashionable beach district at the end of his five years on the lam, Brazilian authorities said. He allegedly paid his expenses with $1,200 he received each month from his parents.
This is a companion case to Haraguchi v. Superior Court (Oct. 5, 2006, No. B191161) (Haraguchi). In this death penalty case, Jesse James Hollywood, petitioner, seeks a writ of mandate directing the respondent trial court to grant his motion to recuse the Office of the District Attorney of Santa Barbara County. In the alternative, petitioner seeks a writ of mandate directing the trial court to conduct a full evidentiary hearing on the recusal motion. Petitioner contends that, because of the role of the assigned prosecutor's, Ronald J. Zonen's (Zonen), role in the making of a film about the case, "that prosecutor has demonstrated a bias and conflict of interest warranting recusal." "Based on the lack of evidence that [the District Attorney] was unaware of the prosecutor's disqualifying conduct," petitioner also contends that the entire prosecutorial office should be recused.
At first just another outside observer, attorney Michael Mehas may now be the difference between life and death for alleged pot dealer-turned-killer Jesse James Hollywood
By Matthew Singer It’s no wonder Michael Mehas decided to go into law: He looks good in a suit. It shows off the height that made him a star shooting guard in high school better than his casual clothes do. At the Santa Barbara Superior Courthouse on Jan. 10, however, the suit is wearing him. As a criminal defense attorney, Mehas is familiar with this scene, but not the view. He’s used to addressing the witness stand, not speaking from it, and he’s obviously nervous about the reversal: He’s clutching his bottle of water like a life preserver.
She once filled her days with projects at home: gardening, decorating and caring for her son and two stepchildren. All that changed for Susan Markowitz on an August day in 2000, when a knock on her door brought news of the unthinkable: Her son, who had been missing for a week, was found shot to death and hastily buried in a shallow grave in the foothills of Santa Barbara.
"All I wanted was to be a mother," Markowitz said. "I lost my job the day Nick died."
Jeff, Susan and Nick Markowitz at Nick’s bar mitzvah The film, "Alpha Dog," based on the 2000 kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old West Hills resident Nick Markowitz, has received mixed reviews but growing notoriety. The fictionalized Universal release has become increasingly tied to the very case it portrays -- the manhunt for Jesse James Hollywood, whom prosecutors allege ordered the hit on Nick Markowitz, whose body was discovered in a shallow grave outside of Santa Barbara.
On a sunny day in May, Jack Hollywood and his ex-wife, Laurie, sat holding hands in the courtroom waiting for deputies to bring their son, Jesse James Hollywood, into court. It was two months after Jesse�s capture in Brazil. Four burly deputies escorted the 25-year-old accused of orchestrating the kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz. Sitting on the opposite side of the court, Jeff and Susan Markowitz studied him as he walked in. With his tan and sun-bleached hair, he looked like a college student back from spring break, nothing like the smirking skinhead on his wanted poster.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Marijuana dealer Jesse James Hollywood faces a possible death sentence after his conviction for kidnapping and murdering a 15-year-old boy over an escalating drug debt, a crime that inspired the 2007 movie "Alpha Dog."
A Santa Barbara Superior Court jury on Wednesday also found Hollywood guilty of the special circumstance allegation of being a principal in a murder committed in the course of a kidnapping and being involved in a crime in which an assault weapon or machine gun was used, making him eligible for the death penalty.
The jury deliberated for about four days. Hollywood, 29, stared straight ahead as the verdict was read.
"I can't believe they found him guilty of that murder," his father, Jack Hollywood, said outside the courtroom.
The victim's parents said they were relieved but declined to comment further because of a gag order issued in the case. Prosecutors and defense attorneys also declined to speak.
The tragic tale of a young life snuffed out prematurely in it’s prime, came to a somewhat cathartic end after nine long years, with retribution finally catching up with the perpetrator.
The long drawn-out trial of Jesse James Hollywood, accused of kidnapping and murdering 15 year-old Nicholas Markowitz nine years ago, culminated with the jury finding him guilty as charged, on counts of kidnapping and first-degree murder, and awarding him with the death penalty.
This guy is the biggest BS artist out there! He comes across as the nicest, most caring and honest guy, but in reality he is a scumbag. He will tell you that honesty and loyalty are so important to him. But he is the one who will not be honest and he's definitely not loyal. He will flip if he thinks you're even telling him a white lie, yet HE is the one who is a pathological liar. He is the most insecure person you will ever meet. He is suspicious of everyone because he probably thinks everyone operates at his level. He has cheated women out of thousands of dollars and then just walks away. But of course he's clever, even though the debts are his, they're not in his name. His own credit is totally messed up so he swindles others and messes up their credit. And then he doesn't return calls and pretty much disappears. Clearly not giving a thought to how the people he's manipulated are being affected by his disgusting behaviour of straddling them with HIS debt. He is a huge player and definitely cheats on women. 'Avoidance' is his middle name. He just ignores what he doesn't want to deal with. He can't step up and be a man and pay what he owes. Look out all you single moms, you could be next! Everyone thought he was a sincere, honest guy, but he IS NOT! And he just walks away scott-free. He's on facebook and dating websites now, acting as if he hasn't got a care in the world. Nice, huh? If you know of him or recognize him, please post a comment and help stop this fraud!
Fernando "Alberto" Mclean
Per our conversation attached is an email/fax that has been sent to General Moseley, Mr. Michael Wynne and General Duncan just to name a few. I was given your name and phone number as an additional resource.
The photos that are attached are not the most flattering of Mr. Mclean, but when they were forwarded to me by one of his many female companions, I felt it only appropriate to forward them as well. If you have any further questions, please reply.
I’m a concerned citizen writing regarding Msgt Fernando Alberto Mclean. This man is an internet predator, and in my opinion has violated several forms of security and he needs to be stopped. I understand that Military men are "just people” but what concerns me is the amount of information about the Pentagon he puts online for everyone to see.
After 911, I have to admit that I am a bit more observant and pay more attention than I used to and I just want to get this to someone who will discuss his inappropriate behaviour with him. I hope this gets to the right individual, (his Superior) so that something is done soon; maybe it’s simply a matter of ignorance on his part.
I have also attached a couple of photos as an example of who he is and what he’s sending online. If interested in what he’s doing, and the information he’s providing please visit dontdatehimgirl.com (type in his name), blackplanet.com (under the name raisednla2005 and myspace.com under Fernando Mclean.
Again, I’m just a concerned, tax paying citizen who wants to do their part in keeping America safe.
Thank you, in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
Eric Strothers
Eric Strothers is a married man in St. Louis who dated my friend. They met at her family's church where he played guitar in the worship band. They became friends on Myspace and he started pursuing her with romantic messages and telling her that he and his wife were getting a divorce. He told my friend that his wife and her kid were moving out of their house and that he was in love with my friend and wanted to marry her and start a family with her and her little girl. He was telling her he was going to move her and her daughter into his house as soon as his wife was out. His wife found out about his affair with my friend but he denied the whole thing and then even started parading the wife around the church on Sundays in front of my friend all the while continuing to insist to my friend that his marriage was over and that he wanted to be with her. After about a month he broke up with my friend. The day after he broke up with her my friend found out she was pregnant and ended up in the hospital needing emergency surgery because her fallopian tube burst from a tubal pregnancy. After my friend was released from the hospital she asked this man to visit her at home while she recuperated and he refused and then said that he had gotten back together with his wife. He refused to talk to my friend anymore and told her he wanted nothing more to do with her. This guy is a liar and a cheat. He used my friend and made her believe he was going to take care of her and start a family with her while he already had a family that he probably never even really intended to leave. From what I hear this guy is only 33 and has been married 3 times. Good thing for my friend she did not become wife number 4. Eric Strothers lives in St. Louis Missouri and plays in local bands. He also teaches guitar lessons at a school called the Coral in St. Charles. Keep this guy away from anyone you know. Eric Strothers will lie and decieve you the same way he decieved my friend, her family, thier church, and his own family. He drives a white Toyota Prius with the company name Melik in bluee letters on the doors. Dont date Eric Strothers in St. Louis MO.

Jen McDonnell, canada.com Britney Spears has temporarily lost custody of sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. In a closed-door hearing today (Oct. 1), a judge ordered her to hand over the children to ex-husband Kevin Federline by Wednesday at noon "until further notice of the court," reports People.
Though the judge didn't elaborate on his sudden decision to overturn the couple's 50/50 custody agreement, Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, reportedly requested the last-minute hearing after Spears was photographed driving her two sons around Los Angeles this weekend, even though she doesn't have a license, reports E! News.
She may have lost her children, her career, and her reputation, but Britney Spears isn’t eliciting any sympathy.
The former pop princess and one-time Christian role-model lost custody of her two children to former husband Kevin Federline today, and American bloggers and columnists met the news with cheers.
Influential celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted an acerbic response to Judge Scott Gordon’s ruling, chiding Spears for brining the loss of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, upon herself.
“Britney Spears lost custody of her two children on Monday because she’s a f***-up that can’t obey the law,” he ranted.
It's been motherhood under a microscope for Britney Spears, who lost custody of her two children — at least temporarily — on Monday (October 1) when a judge ordered the singer to turn over her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline until further notice, effective Wednesday
Sources say OJ Simpson and five other men barged into a hotel room last night, and took various memorabilia once owned by Simpson -- at gunpoint! t happened at the Palace Station Hotel last night at around 7:15. Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley has said he had the suit OJ wore the day he was acquitted of murder.
Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying the suit and other Simpson memorabilia. Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson's crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them with guns drawn
O.J. SIMPSON was being questioned by police on Friday in connection with a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia.
The fallen sports star and actor says he went into the hotel room only to retrieve memorabilia that he felt was stolen from him, but police are investigating it as an armed robbery and say Simpson is a suspect.
Sept. 14, 2007 - O. J. Simpson told a reporter he was on a “sting operation” to take back sports memorabilia stolen from him. But the Las Vegas police say Simpson is a suspect in an armed-robbery investigation—and they expect late Friday or Saturday to question the former Hall of Famer and acquitted murderer of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and waiter Ron Goldman.
Police arrested former football star O.J. Simpson at a Las Vegas hotel Sunday after police say he and five men robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in their hotel room.
Simpson is being held at the Clark County Detention Center without bail until Thursday, but ABC News has learned that Simpson's attorney plans to file an emergency motion requesting an emergency bail hearing by 10 a.m.
LAS VEGAS, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Former football star O.J. Simpson was held without bail on Monday, accused of stealing back his own sports souvenirs in what was reported to be an expletive-laced face-off with memorabilia dealers. Simpson, 60, who was acquitted in 1995 of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, was arrested, taken away in handcuff and held without bail on Sunday on suspicion of armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy and burglary, Las Vegas police said. If convicted on all charges, Simpson could face some three decades behind bars.

I'm not the most Politically Correct Man but I try. I know exactly what Nigger or Spic mean and I think anyone who uses them are either insecure about themselves or have had it inbreed into them. I grew up with all the terms and yes I'm a Mick and my best friend was a Kraut.My Mom married a Wop and he was the best man I've ever known.We lived in a neighborhood full of Jews and Beaners and even a Po lack or two. So I know what all these terms are and I know alot of good people that grew up with these labels and more.I would rather have my tongue cut out than ever call anyone any of them.They are meant to be mean and they are pure hatered based pure and simple. But, I don't really see the word Fag that way. Maybe it's just me but I've always that a Fag was an extremely flamboyant crave the center of attention male person. I never even consider the Gay Community as a whole when I hear the word. I picture a Charles Nelson Reilly or a Richard Simmons or even sometimes maybe even a Tony Danza kind of guy. Not to mention Justin and his Gonorrhea Ridden Boyfriend Joe. So I do know right from wrong but I'm just not sure that the term Fag should cause that much of an uproar. Maybe that's just a little bit to PC for me...BJC123

NEW YORK (AP) — Jerry Lewis dropped an anti-gay slur — the same one that got Isaiah Washington of "Grey's Anatomy" in trouble — during the 18th hour of his annual Labor Day telethon.
He apologized Tuesday for a "bad choice of words."
The 81-year-old showman — prowling about the stage during the live telecast Monday in Las Vegas — was goofing around and dodging his cameraman, then went into a ramble about imaginary family members.
"Oh, your family has come to see you," he said, speaking to the camera and gesturing toward thin air.
"You remember Bart, your older son," he said, and motioning toward another unseen character, "Jesse, the illiterate f-----.
"No," Lewis said, quickly stopping himself before continuing.
Jerry Lewis, 81, has made international audiences laugh since his film debut in the 1940's, but his long show business career has also had a more serious purpose. This beloved and complex clown remains devoted to children afflicted with a crippling disease. This Labor Day weekend, Jerry Lewis once again hosted the Muscular Dystrophy telethon and raised a record $63.8 million. Broadcast live on national television from a stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, the event has been an annual holiday tradition for decades. During 22 hours of continuous programming, Lewis plays the high-energy master of ceremonies for a procession of celebrities and performers, who entertain a studio audience and solicit millons of dollars in donations from television viewers to fund research for a cure for Muscular Dystrophy, or MD.
BOISE, Idaho (Reuters) - Republican Senator Larry Craig said on Tuesday he is not gay and had made a mistake in pleading guilty to disorderly conduct after he was arrested in a men's toilet at a Minnesota airport in June.
First elected to the Senate in 1990, the Idaho senator was arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in the men's public restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Screw or screw over: Republicans just don't know what to do with gays. So they do both. Add senior United States Senator Larry Craig from Idaho to the rooster of gay-bashing Republicans busted for illegal homosexual activity.
Like conservative evangelist Ted Haggard, Craig is not sure if stoning gays means beating them down or getting them high for a romp in the bathroom stalls.
That's where Senator Craig was arrested on June 11, in a busy bathroom in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, trying to play footsies with an undercover cop.
According to Davis, Hager's public moralizing on sexual matters clashed with his deplorable treatment of her during their marriage. Davis alleges that between 1995 and their divorce in 2002, Hager repeatedly sodomized her without her consent. Several sources on and off the record confirmed that she had told them it was the sexual and emotional abuse within their marriage that eventually forced her out. "I probably wouldn't have objected so much, or felt it was so abusive if he had just wanted normal [vaginal] sex all the time," she explained to me. "But it was the painful, invasive, totally nonconsensual nature of the [anal] sex that was so horrible."

CRAIG: They were at the time. At the time I entered, I stood and waited.
OFFICER: Okay.
OFFICER: Were you (inaudible) out here while you were waiting? I could see your eyes. I saw you playing with your fingers and then look up. Play with your fingers and then look up.
CRAIG: Did I glance at your stall? I was glancing at a stall right beside yours waiting for a fella to empty it. I saw him stand up and therefore I thought it was going to empty.
OFFICER: How long do you think you stood outside the stall?
CRAIG: Oh a minute or two at the most.
DK: Okay. And when you went in the stalls, then what?
CRAIG: Sat down.
DK: Okay. Did you do anything with your feet?

OFFICER: I understand.
CRAIG: I had to spread my legs.
OFFICER: Okay.

I like Owen Wilson as an actor and I hope he gets help with this current problem and hopefully they will be able to help him deal with any future depression problems. I even watched Wedding Crashers this week-end not knowing about any of this. Good Luck Owen... BJC
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Police were called to Owen Wilson's home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls.
The log doesn't indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists "attempt suicide" as the reason for it.
Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren't releasing any updated information.
That question has been burning up phone lines in Hollywood ever since the "Wedding Crashers" actor was rushed to the hospital Sunday after Santa Monica police officers responded to a medical aid call at his home.
One of his neighbors, Geoffrey White, told The Associated Press that a police car, ambulance and fire truck responded to Wilson's house around noon Sunday, wheeled out a stretcher and went inside the home.

Tom Snyder, the brash and provocative late-night TV talk-show host whose bellowing laugh and ever-present cigarette made him a pop culture icon ripe for parody in the 1970s, has died. He was 71.
Snyder died Sunday in San Francisco of complications associated with leukemia, Mike Horowicz, his longtime producer and friend, told the Associated Press on Monday.
"Tom was the very thing that all broadcasters long to be: compelling," David Letterman, whose production company produced the show that marked Snyder's return to late-night TV in the 1990s, said in a statement Monday.
"Whether he was interviewing politicians, authors, actors or musicians, Tom was always the real reason to watch," Letterman said. "I'm honored to have known him as a colleague and as a friend."
Former talk show host Tom Snyder, July 29 Talk show host Tom Snyder, whose smoke-filled interviews were a staple of late night television, died on July 29 after a struggle with leukemia. He was 71.

Among his guests were John Lennon, Charles Manson and Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols.
