Police: Woman's report of sex assault was false, motive: revenge
New Castle County police charged Brittani Eatmon, of the 300 block of E. 22nd St., with falsely reporting an incident, agency spokesman Officer John Weglarz Sr. said.
About 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers were dispatched to the area of Newport Gap Pike and Lloyd Street to investigate an alleged sexual assault.
When officers arrived and spoke with the alleged victim, Eatmon changed her story, police said, and told them that an acquaintance had attempted to sexually assault her while she was at his home in Belvedere.
During the investigation, Cpl. Timothy Argoes found several inconsistencies in Eatmon's story and police determined that the sexual assault never occurred, Weglarz said.
Eatmon told the officers that she made the report so that she could get the alleged suspect in trouble because he told her friend Jaquya Fairley to leave his home.
The investigator then spoke with Fairley and noticed she appeared very nervous.
Weglarz said the woman provided a false name to the officer because she was wanted on active warrants.
Both women were arrested and committed to the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution.
Eatmon is jailed in lieu of $500 secured bail.
Fairley, 22, of the 500 block of Rodney St. in Wilmington, was charged with criminal impersonation and jailed after failing to post $1,000 secured bail plus $177 cash bail for the outstanding warrants.
And an even more interesting update, she used her sisters name in the lie:
County Police say a Wilmington woman used her sister's name when she arrested this week for falsely reporting a sexual assault.
Police say Jacqueline Eatmon first told them she had been assaulted by an acqaintance, then changed her story and said the acquaintance had tried to assault her at his Belvedere home Tuesday night.
Police found several inconsistencies in Eatmon's story and determined it was false.
They also learned Eatmon had told officers she was her sister, Brittani.
Jacqueline's being held at the Women's Correctional Institute, charged with criminal impersonation in addition to the original false reporting count.

Some people might look at a story like this and draw a hasty conclusion about nutters being behind most of thee false accusations. Not only would this be an inaccurate conclusion, but I think it would miss out on an insight that comes from women (normally I stay gender-neutral, but I deviate here for a reason) with mentally handicaps behaving this way.
I think the fact that so many adult women, who appear to have mental problems that render them to be childlike, use the rape story as their default "attention-getting" story is telling of the propaganda that is out there. Kids mimic what they see on TV. Adult women who act like children mimic the propaganda they see -- the propaganda that tries to convince women they've been raped or will be raped.
I would not be as inclined to expect a man struggling with mental problems to make a false rape claim as most of the propaganda paints women as the victims. Granted, I have not seen any stats and am not aware of the existence of any stats to backup that inkling of an idea. - Mar 4, 2011, 1:39:00 AM
It is the now institutionalized perversion of a law enforcement that has fostered and enabled a now "culture of false rape accusations". Young men have to fear dating girls, because a perverted law enforcement will enable her to cry rape if you break up with her.

Police: Woman Lied About Being Raped, Cut With Razor
Submitted by anthony on Thu, 2011-03-03 05:40.
Story here. Excerpt:
'UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- State police said a Fayette County woman made up a report that she was bound with a dog collar, cut with a razor, beaten and raped last month.
Trooper Heather Clem of Uniontown said Leah Dawn Saluga, 30, has entered an unspecified treatment program and will be charged with making a false report to police on Feb. 20.
Police said Saluga claimed she was raped by a man dressed in women's clothes who was walking his dog in a wooded section of Luzerne Township.'.

OT- Although the author is clueless about the causes -- blaming male anger on female "equality" -- this is nonetheless very encouraging:
But a lot of the responses unwittingly proved my point—and another one: Men are really, really angry. Consider: "We're not STUCK in pre-adulthood, we choose it because there aren't any desirable American women. They've been bred to abuse men." This fairly typical response that appeared at the Seattle Post Intelligencer website: "Sorry ladies. In the age of PlayStation 3s, 24-hours-a-day sports channels, and free Internet porn, you are now obsolete. All that nagging, whining, and stealing our hard earned cash have finally caught up to you."
Shocked? I wasn t. During the last few years researching this age group, I've stumbled onto a powerful underground current of male bitterness that has nothing to do with outsourcing, the Mancession, or any of the other issues we usually associate with contemporary male discontent. No, this is bitterness from guys who find the young women they might have hoped to hang out with entitled, dishonest, self-involved, slutty, manipulative, shallow, controlling—and did I mention gold-digging?
(Uh, maybe it's because men have zero reproductive rights and can be destroyed by any one of these "slutty, manipulative" women by a false rape accusation?) - Mar 4, 2011, 10:27:00 AM

Lying about a rape is legal.
Lying about a rape should become a felony.
Please let politicians know how you feel regarding this issue. - Mar 4, 2011, 2:59:00 PM
Lying about rape in not legal...Its the protocol perversion of American law enforcement, over the last 25 years that has turned America into a "culture of false rape accusations".
- Mar 4, 2011, 3:13:00 PM
Sir Scott,
"Lying about rape in not legal..."
It's not? So why do you think this blog exists?
"over the last 25 years..."
Really? Strange. That means since 1986. So why did LE start this "protocol perversion" as you put it that year? - Mar 4, 2011, 5:58:00 PM
@ 2 anons above: I understand where both of you are coming from. Technically, lying about rape is not legal if the woman makes a false claim to the police. The problem lies in how often false claims are prosecuted and punished. For the same reasons it is incredibly difficult to prove a rape claim in a number of cases, it is also incredibly difficult to prove a false rape claim. The sad truth is that even when false accusers are determined to be guilty by their own admission or video evidence, people usually feel pity for them.
I don't think this is a problem -- that is, that people feel pity for them. Another commenter posted yesterday that we all acts are "humane." I believe in a different version of this statement. Most people who commit crimes (and are even guilty) are not sociopaths. I just feel that equal pity should be expressed for people. The damages done by a false rape claim and a real rape are very similar in my mind. I honestly do not have the goodness or power within me to feel pity for a real rapist or false accuser, but I think of that as a fault in my own personality. I would think it to be a greater fault though if I felt pity for one but not the other.
-just my 2 cents. - Mar 4, 2011, 7:02:00 PM
@ Freedom...
what rape victim ever got thrown in the slammer for ten years FOR BEING RAPED? - Mar 4, 2011, 7:29:00 PM
. For the same reasons it is incredibly difficult to prove a rape claim in a number of cases, it is also incredibly difficult to prove a false rape claim.
No it isn't, and no it isn't.
It SHOULD be incredibly hard to prove a false rape claim, but with juries perfectly content to just take her word for it that isn't the case.
On the other hand, false rape claims should be VERY easy to prove, and would be... if prosecutors had to decency to charge them. False rape claims usually involve numerous disproven and/or contradictory statements on the part of the criminal, who normally have long histories of fraudulent behavior. Mangum and Todd certainly did.
Basically, the system railroad men based on zero evidence, then turns around and enables women who lie in spite of overwhelming evidence (far greater than "he said/she said"). - Mar 4, 2011, 10:08:00 PM
I think I worded my post poorly and might have miscommunicated my thoughts.
@ Anon: I presume that many false rape claims come from he said/she said scenarios. If that's so, it's hard to prove something one way or the other beyond a reasonable doubt. I've read cases where I am pretty certain that the accuser is full of b.s. Nevertheless, in order to move forward, you need to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt (12 angry men style). I am pretty sure I've seen Pierce write that he said/she said cases should just be thrown out if there is no significant evidence other than what one party is saying vs. what the other party is saying. I agree with that. If that were reality, many false accusations would never end up causing the amount of damage they do.
You are right to point out that there are a lot of cases that have been mentioned here where it seems that the false accuser could&should be prosecuted, as there is evidence to show beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty. My intuition though is that in the bulk majority of cases, the false accuser will not likely admit to lying nor will he/she be proven guilty by video evidence (think of all the cases we don't hear about).
I do agree that the punishments should be proportional, and that the system seems to have no interest in delivering justice against false accusers.
@AfOR: I believe that more damage is done to the victim of a false accusation than the victim of a rape. Both are traumatizing experiences, but at least the person who goes through rape can choose to move on with their life (something which is incredibly hard to do, but the key is the option is there). A victim of a false accusation often loses a job, family, money, the ability to get jobs in the future, and friends just as a result of the accusation. And then if they get falsely convicted, then the problems become much worse.
What I meant by the damages being similar is that both victims have to go through a traumatizing experience that should just never have to happen. - Mar 5, 2011, 2:25:00 PM
I agree that not every false rape accuser can be punished.
But for the love of God, couldn't we at least punish the ones who have confessed, have left vast trails of deceit, have long histories of committing similar acts? Spitting on the sidewalk is punished more harshly. - Mar 6, 2011, 8:00:00 PM
Damn, this one hits a little close to home as far as where the story originates from. Scary to think that no place is safe of false accusations like these.
This is why you should always get them to sign one of these - LoveContracts.net - Mar 9, 2011, 1:40:00 PM

In what is being called the deadliest U.S. wildfire in at least 30 years, an out-of-control blaze trapped and killed 19 firefighters Sunday in central Arizona. They had been forced to use temporary shelters in an attempt to survive.
All of those killed were part of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an elite group based in Prescott, Ariz., that uses rigorous training to prepare for fighting wildfires. They are frequently deployed to the front lines of firefighting efforts against such blazes.
Update at 6:04 p.m. ET: Firefighters Identified

September 22, 2011
The first 1500hp drilling rig for the Belarusian market produced by Drillmec for Belorusneft, was put into operation on 22 September through an inauguration ceremony which was attended by more than 50 representatives of the main drilling and oil companies of the CIS market, Russia (ie Integra) and Ukraine (ie NJSC Naftogaz).
The first rig completely manufactured in Italy will be followed by 11 identical units that will have more than 50% of the parts manufactured in JSC Seismotekhnika, the Gomel based factory part of the Bolorusneft Group. Under the agreement signed on December 2010 Drillmec SpA, which underwrote a share capital increase by JSC Seismotekhnika thereby giving Drillmec SpA 19% of the share capital of the Company, is contributing with its personnel to the technology transfer to Seismotekhnika.
The event saw an elaborated ceremony starting in the morning with the mast erection of the 1500hp installed at well No 116 of the Rechitsa deposit with Mr. Michele Bruzzi, Drillmec Production Manager, coordinating the operations and Mr. Oleg Alampiev, JSC Seismotekhnika President, explaining the operations the attendees. In the afternoon at Belorusneft plant in Rechitsa, Mr. Yuri Parnivoda, Drillmec Russia General Manager, introduced Drillmec production, underlining the priorities for the future cooperation and emphasizing the importance of such a partnership in terms of a mutual development.
The group then moved back to Rechitsa deposit to attend the rig up to be completed. The event arouse great interest amongst local media and an intereview to Mr. Stefano Angeli, Drillmec SpA Vice President Sales, was broadcast by the Belarusian TV which also underlined the interest towards this new and prolific Joint Venture. Drillmeс S.p.A. representatives attending the presentation of the new equipment praised high professionalism of Belarusian colleagues, proper fulfillment of the schedule of joint works, and expressed confidence that fruitful cooperation would be continued. By the end of the year the Company plans to produce and install another drilling rig at well No 22 at the Novo-Korenevsky oil deposit.
Both parties being strongly interested in mutually developing the project further, the partnership between Drillmec and JSC Seismotekhnica will therefore not only remain signed on paper, but will be enriched by further exchanges and cooperation between the peoples of the two Companies. The parties plan to manufacture in Seismotekhnika rig components not only for Belarus but also for Russia and Ukraine. The visit to attend the Rig Up Ceremony in Rechitsa has very successfully initiated the first step of a project with plenty of potential for development in different market directions.

I love it how people are dissing the chain Nando's as though this restaurant is part of the company Nando's. I have been here many times and yes the food is poor though the pizza place does a very nice Hawaiian Pizza. But regarding Nando's itself, there is no actual Nando's restaurant in Uganda,its just a normal fast food outlet... More
Nandos is nothing special, but it's handy. It's like a food court in a mall with several different kinds of restaurants all jammed in together. There are no high chairs which is the norm in Kampala (and the whole of Africa). The pizza was good, burgers so-so, chips were my personal fav. The price is the best thing. Be careful,... More
its within the city centre and the distance from my working place is very close. i like it because meals and eats are ready all all the time you need them
Decent food and lots to choose from but service can be a bit slow as this place is usually packed. Nice seating area outside.
I find this place very unfriendly! Last i checked-in i had the worst service, hated the African tea , and found it an absolute waste of an evening out!!
A place you will never miss if you visit Kampala.Situated in the heart of the city.Offers all food varieties.A place you will never miss tourists from different countries
This restaurant is actually a chain, but its food does not taste chain. I recommend the chicken and rice. Its to live for.
Did not like the chicken at all. Cannot compare it to other Nandos I have tasted in other countries. However, it is reasonably priced, staff are friendly and it is a great place with lots of people and lots of other eating places in the same complex.
I have always been a great fan of Nandos so whilst in Kampala my husband and I decided to try it out he ordered whole chicken large chips an large coleslaw they charged him 50,000 ugx, which at the time he thought a bit expensive but paid and left with our take away, the food was ok ish. One week... More

A man recruited his girlfriend to help dispose of his flatmate's remains when she asked about the contents of a hessian bag in the bathtub, a trial has heard.
Lawrence Alexander Butler initially told Jodi Harris the bag held the contents of a fishing trip, but she in turn asked if the trickle of blood was coming from the remains of her boyfriend's flatmate, Trevor Tascas, the Supreme Court heard on Monday.
The court heard Mr Butler replied: "If you think that you can come and help me."
Prosecutor Patrick Bourke said Ms Harris agreed to help Mr Butler dispose of the remains by putting the bag in a barrel and setting it alight in the backyard of a flat in Whittington, a suburb of Geelong, in October 2005.
Mr Bourke said the couple then put the remains in plastic bags that were then put in a wheelie bin and placed in the boot of Mr Tascas' Holden Calais, which they later drove to Queensland and left in the possession of another man.
Mr Butler, 49, has pleaded not guilty to one count of manslaughter.
Mr Bourke said Mr Butler told Ms Harris he had a "physical confrontation" with Mr Tascas over rent money and that the latter man had hit his head. Mr Tascas, who was 27 at the time, has not been seen or heard from since.
The court heard Mr Butler had told police he had not seen his flatmate since Mr Tascas drove to Bathurst to watch the famous car race, but that he later gave the missing man's dog to a friend and said she could keep it as "Trevor would not be returning".
Mr Bourke said if the jury believed Ms Harris' testimony, they would find Mr Butler's behaviour to be "extreme" and that he was guilty of killing Mr Tascas.
Defence counsel John Desmond also put an emphasis on Ms Harris' evidence, in that she formed the entire Crown case.
He said there were no witnesses to any altercation, no body, no forensic evidence and that the trial would "ask more questions than provide answers".
Mr Desmond said Ms Harris had "cut a deal" with police to turn prosecution witness and blame Mr Tascas' disappearance on Mr Butler, that she had an amphetamine addiction and had involvement in "criminal activities" for dishonesty offences, having also spent time in jail.
"We say she is lying and is, at the least, a wholly unreliable witness. If you [jurors] don't believe her, my client is entitled to be acquitted," he said.
The court heard Ms Harris and her former husband, Troy, took more than $11,000 from Mr Tascas' bank account about nine months after his disappearance.
Mr Butler is on bail. The trial, before Justice Michael Croucher, continues.

A $794 million list of projects posed for City Council action Monday night gives Joplin residents a looking glass into the city's potential.
City planner Troy Bolander said the plan, by master developer Wallace Bajjali Development Partners of Sugar Land, Texas, could guide the city's repopulation and goes beyond replenishing the hole left by the 2011 tornado.
"I think it can improve the quality of life. It can make this area attractive for others to come here," Bolander said of the master developer plan. "We're trying to improve the quality of life for our citizens and for new citizens. We could be a destination city for people to come here to work, eat and play and then have the opportunity to say to them, 'Why don't you just come and live here?' I think if we include some of those amenities that Mr. Wallace mentioned, it will help us ask that question."
The plan includes $302 million in proposed home construction and senior living apartments, a new library and movie theater, a minor league ballfield and events venue, mixed-use loft and commercial complexes, a convention center and hotel, a medical building and a medical education campus and also incorporates projects proposed before the tornado, known as the SPARK plan.
SPARK — Stimulate Progress through the Arts, Recreation and Knowledge of the past — would clear part of the downtown to make room for a performing and visual arts center with an amphitheater and a restored Union Depot attraction. It is part of an effort to make Joplin a more desirable place to live, said Bolander.
City leaders and members of the Citizens Advisory Recovery Team sought a recovery plan that would help the whole city, not solely the tornado zone, Bolander said.
"I think that's exactly what we see in the SPARK proposal. We have got to make sure that the whole community is taken care of. You don't want to take care of one part of town and ignore another part of town," Bolander said. "You have to strategically place these projects in specific areas so that they benefit the whole community."
City Manager Mark Rohr introduced the plan before the tornado, but it was put on hold after May 22, 2011.
A proposal by the North Group devised for the SPARK project calls for a performing and visual arts center of about 150,000 square feet to be built at First and Main streets. It could house a 1,200-seat auditorium for touring shows, a 500-seat theater for Pro Musica concerts, the George A. Spiva Center for the Arts, and the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce. It also could include spaces that could be used as classrooms for convention and meetings.
An amphitheater would be built at the base of the hill north of the depot. A town green gathering spot would be part of the complex.
It would be managed by Connect2Culture, a local arts organization based in the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce.
The center would allow the Spiva Arts Center to have a climate-controlled space with modern security systems to hold visiting art exhibits that it now has to decline.
Broadway shows could be performed in the big auditorium, with Joplin Little Theatre, Heartland Opera Theatre, dance and other groups using the stages too.
Clifford Wert, co-chairman of Connect2Culture, a committee formed by the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, said that organization signed a letter of support for the proposal.
"It's just an amazing opportunity for our community to reshape its future, and we look forward, with the unified efforts across the community spectrum, to see these possibilities become a reality.
"It's all of us working together to find the best for our community and even in the subsequent projects that come," he said.
Rohr had proposed that the city's historic Union Depot be restored as a possible site for the Joplin Museum Complex but there had been no commitment by the museum's governing board and the Joplin Historical Society board to move there. Museum directors in the past had rejected the depot as a place to move because of concerns about the nearby Kansas City Southern railroad line.
Museum question
David Wallace, chief executive officer of Wallace Bajjali, met recently with the boards of the two organizations and offered to construct another building for them at the location if they did not want the depot.
Museum Board Chairman Clair Goodwin said there was not a quorum of the board present to make any decisions with Wallace, but that museum officials still have concerns about the depot location. Goodwin said he personally would prefer to relocate the existing historical and mineral museum to 26th Street and McClelland Boulevard, where Mercy Hospital has offered land for a tornado museum after St. John's Regional Medical Center was destroyed by the twister.
For that reason, Wallace has left the depot proposal open to change.
"We haven't received an indication 100 percent that the museum truly wants to be down in the depot," Wallace said. "Rather than being presumptuous, until we get more clarity from the museum board as to which direction they would like to go, we kept the plan open.
"If their decision is to move forward and move the museum to this area on Main Street, we know a site where it would go," he said, referring to a separate building in the area, but that's a decision the museum directors will have to make. If they do not want the depot, Wallace said interest has been expressed to put two restaurants in the renovated building.
Asked if there would be funding available to build a new museum building at the hospital site, Wallace said, "From the (museum) board's perspective, if they need to move to another location, we want to do all we can to help them, but we haven't really focused on that particular site."
Wallace also told the City Council that he had learned in his discussions that the Joplin Public Library and the Post Memorial Art Reference Library need more space and would like to construct a new building but did not have financing.
He created a proposal to build a new two-story building that would house the library on the first floor and a movie theater on the second floor. He said AMC Theaters has indicated an interest in further considering the possibility of operating a 15-screen theater in Joplin. The theater's rental of the space would create enough revenue to make the payments on the building, meaning that the library could get larger quarters at no cost to the city.
Library director Jackie Gage said it might be an ideal solution.
"Even before the tornado, our library board was looking at the issues with the library we have now. We are out of space," Gage said. "The library was built in 1981 before the American with Disabilities Act went into effect and, while most of our library is accessible, the stack widths are not optimal to be accessed by a person in a wheelchair. There is not enough space to spread the stacks out," she said.
There also is not enough room to enlarge the library's computer stations for patrons and other services are squeezed in, Gage said.
"As we have added services, we have had to encroach on the other use areas. We knew we were going to have to do something someday but we didn't know what."
Medical building
A proposal to build $73.8 million in buildings for medical clinics, offices for doctors and spaces for outpatient hospital services and for a downtown medical education complex is something that may merits future exploration, hospital administrators said.
Paula Baker, president of Freeman Health Systems, said the Affordable Care Act may bring more need for those types of projects.
"Mr. Wallace provided Freeman Health System with a general overview of how his proposed master development plan could impact Joplin's medical community," she said. "This proposal is in a very preliminary state, so no formal agreement has been made for Freeman to be involved in establishing a new medical office building. However, Freeman would certainly give consideration to this opportunity as more details become available.
"The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the individual mandate outlined in the Affordable Care Act will allow more Americans access to health care, thus heightening the already present need for medical professionals. As the only teaching hospital in this community, Freeman continually strives to bring more physicians to our area. Since May 22, 2011, alone, Freeman has signed more than 30 additional physicians. Mr. Wallace's proposal to create an education center for medical students would help accomplish the same goal of bringing much-needed clinical staff to the Four States."
Gary Pulsipher, president of Mercy Hospital, said there may be a need in the future. Mercy is building a hospital near Interstate 44 and Hearnes Boulevard that also will house medical clinics and offices for doctors.
"We have been involved in early meetings and we support the concepts," Pulsipher said. "We will continue to be involved in the future. Though we currently have our physicians placed or have a plan where they will be placed, we may possibly be able to use future buildings for any future recruits we get along the way."
David Powell, a Leawood developer who recently obtained zoning for property he owns at 44th Street and Connecticut Avenue, said it is possible his development could go after the same business the Wallace Bajjali proposal would seek.
Wallace said that is to be expected.
"There will be others that may be like it," Wallace said, but "it all comes down to demand and supply and the market studies we will be doing."
Next steps
While the proposal includes a vision for a Joplin of the future, many of the details would have to be worked out, including land acquisition, financing and engineering and design.
The City Council on Monday will be asked to authorize several items to begin to advance the proposals, including:
The submission of a $40 million grant request to the federal Economic Development Administration. Up to $37 million would go to construction of SPARK projects and $3 million would be given to the Joplin School District for the Joplin Schools Workforce Development Project at Franklin Technical Center.
The submission of a $100,000 grant application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency to pay for a 20th Street market analysis, a green streets strategy, and to audit city zoning codes and development policies for the area.
Another proposal would give the city manager the authority to proceed with an agreement to allow the master developer to work with the Joplin Redevelopment 353 Corp. for land acquisition.
Bolander said it's something that holds the promise of changing Joplin's future and counteract the losses from the tornado.
"It's still conceptual right now. We realize we still have to go through a needs analysis, but it's still an exciting time for Joplin."

Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman was left rattled after a chilling run-in with an alleged stalker on Saturday at his gym in NYC. Police arrested the woman after she supposedly professed her love to the married "Wolverine" star and threatened him with an electric razor… full of her own pubic hair.
According to FOX News, Katherine Thurston approached Jackman outside Gotham Gym just before 8 AM and asked, "We're getting married, right?" Thurston then followed him inside, telling him, "I love you!" before pulling the electric razor out of her bag. Hugh reportedly believed she was grabbing a gun or knife.Hugh Jackman is back in "Wolverine" form -- we're talking muscles and mutton chops galore -- in the new trailer for the summer "X-Men" blockbuster.
The clip reveals a downtrodden Logan living on the fringe, showing his famous claws only for the occasional bar fight; a voiceover reminding us that "eternity can be a curse.""Extra's" Maria Menounos caught up with Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence backstage at the 2013 Oscars to talk about her trip as she took the stage, Hugh Jackman rushing to help, and the person she forgot to thank in her acceptance speech.
The "Silver Linings Playbook" star admitted that tripping as she took the Academy stage was "up there" as far as embarrassing moments are concerned, but Hugh Jackman's helping hand made it all okay."Les Miz" star Hugh Jackman sat down with the Hollywood Reporter for a no-holds-barred interview that ranged from gay rumors to his mother leaving when he was 8.
The Oscar nominee revealed that after years of gossip about his love life, the gay rumors are just now starting to bother his wife of 16 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.Actor Hugh Jackman and "Extra's" Maria Menounos took part in a victory dance to celebrate Hugh's win for Best Actor.
Check it out!
Hugh Jackman, Golden Globe winner for Best Actor, chatted with "Extra's" Jerry Penacoli on the red carpet about the time he almost quit "Les Miserables."
Standing with wife Deborra-Lee Furness, Jackman said, "I'll be honest with you, there was a moment about three weeks before, I almost quit. I honestly had the worst day of rehearsals, humiliating day of rehearsals. I came out of it and said [to his wife], 'Babe, now's the time I quit, there's someone else out there' and she talked me off that cliff."
"Extra's" Renee Bargh caught up with actor Hugh Jackman as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Fresh off his Golden Globe nomination for "Les Misérables," Hugh dished on the remarkable year he's had, and revealed some surprising facts about himself!
"Les Miserables" stars Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe dish with "Extra's" Ben Lyons on how hard it was to sing each take live, per director Tom Hooper's instructions.
Crowe laughed he had to keep in shape. "Thing is, I'm at that age where if I don't... I mean I'll grow an extra ass overnight, mate. You got to be careful about this sh*t. I'll grow bigger tits than Dolly Parton. I have to put some effort."
Watch more of the interview, including Ben doing a little singing of his own!

I ordered pork chops. They had a very heavy layer of strongly flavoured sauce on them. After my first mouthful I realised that something was wrong. I scraped off the sauce and cut a small piece of the pork off by itself. You could smell the decay from inches away. 8 days later and I still have symptoms of food... More
We've been to the restaurant several times and never been disappointed. The food is fresh and well prepared, the staff super friendly and the view stunning.

We went to Sails on our last Sunday night in Apia. The service was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was well suited to all sorts of diners, from couples to families to groups of friends.

Sails doesn't disappoint, it is right on the water and has (I think) the best location of any bar/restaurant in Apia. Sitting out on the deck with an ice cold Vailima or a cocktail is the best way to spend an evening. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend a visit to... More

the Fart Party Vol 1 is my first collection of comics, published by Atomic Books in 2007. It includes stories about my childhood, a relationships beginning, middle and end, living in San Francisco, my (current) love of cheese and (past) love of booze, getting dumped, being a jackass, etc…all the stuff the kids get up to in their early 20′s, plus a longer comic by my older brother about my unfortunate high school Gn'R obsession. Foreword by Peter Bagge.
Disclaimer: the comics in this book where made without the intent of ever publishing or telling a coherent story because I didn't know at that time that comics would become a huge part of my life, and because of that, it's my favorite of my books. However, also because of that, it's in no way meant to be read as full disclosure of the events of my life during that time.
You can either purchase it directly from me ($25 gets you a signed copy with a hand drawn panel and some mini comics) or from Atomic Books or Amazon.

Nelson Mandela: A life in pictures
Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie in this undated file picture.
Topics: Occupy Wall Street, News, Politics News
Updated with correction below.
I was reminded this weekend that it's still unclear what exactly Occupy Wall Street is — or, more precisely, what does or does not count as part of "Occupy." Events in New York once again brought this to the fore for those organizing and agitating under the movement banner.
On Saturday, following the annual Anarchist Book Fair, a crowd gathered in New York City's Washington Square Park for an anti-police march. They took to the streets with numbers nearing 100 and little police accompaniment, at first. They wound through the East Village, leaving some minor property damage in their wake. By the end of the night, there had been three arrests, carrying hefty charges including assault on a police officer and inciting to riot.
I followed the march — it was rowdy, energetic and fast. Barricades and trash cans were dragged into the street to stop traffic and impede the police cars that eventually arrived on the scene. At one point, two young women watching the surge of people winding through stalled traffic asked me whether this was an "Occupy thing." I answered "yes." But, as I soon appreciated, it's more complicated than that.
One of the arrestees — Nicholas Thommen — was held on bail and the issue came up as to whether the OWS bail fund (a $90,000 nest egg set aside for bailing out activists) should be tapped into. A number of people suggested that since no established OWS working group had announced the march, and since the action had not been publicized on any OWS website, the event was distinct from Occupy plans and thus ought not receive its funds. After a fair amount of back and forth, an individual who supports OWS posted Thommen's bail. Across Twitter and in numerous media reports, people asked whether the march was or was not Occupy. The Village Voice reported:
At first, reports brought up a possible link between the black bloc and Occupy, members of whom had already been attending major protests throughout the day and a march at Washington Square that started around 7pm. But the coincidence was soon found to be false.
The report is wrong on two counts: First, as has now been pointed out ad nauseam, the black bloc is a tactic — not a group — that involves march participants covering their faces and donning black hoodies and bandannas so that no one member is identifiable. Although some of Saturday's marchers covered their faces with bandannas, this didn't amount to the whole march employing black bloc tactics. Second, connections between the march and Occupy were anything but "coincidence."
Many long-term Occupy supporters were part of the march, which was planned autonomously and anonymously, and publicized on fliers given out by hand. Although it was not announced by any OWS website, it arose from decentralized organizing, which falls in line with the horizontalism underpinning the idea of Occupy. (Unlike, for example, the 99 Percent Spring, which was developed by institutions like MoveOn that do not organize horizontally.)
A number of those involved in OWS will want to distance the Occupy name from anything involving property damage or black bloc tactics. To do so, however, would miss the importance of "Occupy" as a broad and confusing banner under which a diversity of tactics are supported — namely that such decentralization can empower vast numbers of people across the country to plan and orchestrate actions on their own, but also in solidarity with the ideas and principles associated with Occupy (as we saw with the original spread of encampments); it would also miss the fact that many of the longest-term participants in Occupy are anarchists who appreciate the utility of black bloc tactics and reject the idea that damage to corporate property constitutes violence.
Last August, as general assemblies became a regular occurrence in New York's parks and squares, the plan of "Occupying Wall Street" on Sept. 17 served as an anchor point for organizing. The attendees wanted to form affinities, to plan actions, to spread information and agitate; the idea was never to form an organization with members. But as actions and encampments grabbed headlines and resonated across the world, it ostensibly made sense to ask whether an action or protest was or was not part of Occupy.
As Saturday's actions illustrated, there is no determinate answer to what is or isn't Occupy. There are procedures and principles broadly understood and developed that tend to characterize that which is part of the movement, but there is no membership, no central committee. There is an ongoing conversation about when funds donated to OWS should be used, and there will continue to be contentious cases. As groups mobilize in anticipation of the planned general strike on May 1 and protests in Chicago around the NATO summit in late May, the line between what is and is not Occupy will become unclearer still.
I would be saddened if energy went into trying to develop rules or qualifications to determine whether a group or action is "Occupy" or not. How bail funds should be raised and distributed will remain a difficult question in need of careful addressing. However, if Occupy participants have created something with sticking power, this spring we will no doubt see many more street marches like the one in New York last Saturday; the sort of actions that challenge assumptions about what is or is not Occupy, but perhaps point to a fabric of unrest related to, but broader than, the Occupy name.
Correction: an earlier version of this story mistakenly reported that the OWS bail fund covered Thommen's bail.

AKZO NOBEL has accepted that its small share of the US aramid fibre market will be all but eliminated by a 56% anti-dumping duty on its Twaron product fixed last week by US Department of Commerce. A final decision will be taken by the US International Trade Commission on 7 June. 'We hope the ITC will realise [Akzo Nobel aramid exports to the US] do not constitute traditional dumping, but that anti-dumping laws are being used effectively to maintain a monopoly position,' an Akzo source said.
DuPont, the only US-based para-aramid fibres producer, filed the anti-dumping suit last July. But senior Akzo Nobel sources said Akzo had only been selling the fibres at US prices set by DuPont, which happen to be lower than west European prices due to differences in labour, energy and other costs.
Akzo Nobel said it would 'steadfastly carry through' its 3500 tonne para-aramid capacity expansion to 10 500 tonne/year at Emmen, the Netherlands, to be completed in the second half of 1995. The expansion was never directed to the US, and the new capacity will be fully utilised given rapid market growth, especially in Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asian markets, as well as an 'amazingly' good European performance, the sources claimed.

Multiple albums in one release or on one CD, recommended tag field names |
Multiple albums in one release or on one CD, recommended tag field names |

one problem I've come across several times now when tagging music is multi-album releases. Ususally that's a release with a bonus EP either as bonus tracks or as a seperate CD or it's somtimes that the artist considers the second CD of a double CD release to be an independent album. Over the course of time I have used various homebrew tagging methods to overcome the issues with these misfit releases since I'm not aware that the tagging standards provide for a satisfying solution. Well, I'm not aware of any. I use foobar2000 as a player which is pretty customizable, tho I'm not quite sure off the bat what its criteria for an album are. Anyway, let's get hands-on... Take for instance a single CD limited edition or re-issue that has an EP as a bonus, four bonus tracks at the end. The thing is, that I don't want to entirely split the main album and the EP up into two independent entities in my music library, my library is strictly release based. So I could just write "<Album title> + <EP title>" to the album tag field, add replaygain to the whole set, the release year and the label name and catalog number and have a good compromise. But the downside is, that I have to know/remember which tracks are part of the album and which are part of the EP, since I have deliberatly spread all regarding information across the whole set of tracks. But it's not quite perfect. Which mildly annoys me. So I wonder is there another tag field maybe something like "SUBALBUM" that is widely used or is there even a standard one? There are endless solutions that work with the basic tag fields of artist, album and year, but personally I would tend more to add more tag fields.

my library is strictly release based. (In the context of refusing to break a multi-work-single-disc) I'm only going to mention this, I have no desire to debate the merits of your chosen system, but I see no benefit to this arbitrary decision. "Release" often varies by geographic or economic region. This seems to me to be a marketing or accounting decision which only serves to furthur the interests of the label, not the artist. Tagging by content (in this case splitting the disc into two distinct albums through tagging) in order to best attempt to capture artistic intent not only seems more consistent, but also solves this problem neatly. -------------------- Creature of habit.

Two suggestions (Homebrew methods) come to mind:
1: Use comment field to specify such case. For example: 1-13, original release, 14-18, bonus tracks. 2: My favourite: Append [Bonus Track] or alike to title field, for example "Blablabla [Bonus Track]". |

I have a few albums in my collection which are repackaged by the record label as a 2-for-1 album set.
I view the albums as separate entities which also have a common property. An example of how I manage this: Details view of my filesystem: QUOTE F:\music\lib\00\popular\percy faith\(1968) angel of the morning\cd. collectables #col-cd-7488_sony #a 54562. part of 2 album set (2002)\01.track.flac F:\music\lib\00\popular\percy faith\(1971) black magic woman\cd - collectables #col-cd-7488_sony #a 54562. part of 2 album set (2002)\01.track.flac F:\music\lib\00\popular\ray conniff singers.the\(1959) it's the talk of the town\cd. sony #493046 2. uk. part of 2 album set (1998)\01.track.flac F:\music\lib\00\popular\ray conniff singers.the\(1960) young at heart\cd. sony #493046 2. uk. part of 2 album set (1998)\01.track.flac If I drag all the parent folders into my foobar2000 Playlist Viewer, their grouping lines display like this: QUOTE Percy Faith ● Angel of the Morning (1968) ● Album | CD, Collectables #COL-CD-7488 / Sony #A 54562, USA, Part of 2 album set ©2002 Percy Faith ● Black Magic Woman (1971) ● Album | CD, Collectables #COL-CD-7488 / Sony #A 54562, USA, Part of 2 album set ©2002 The Ray Conniff Singers ● It's The Talk Of The Town (1959) ● Album | CD, Sony #493046 2, UK, Part of 2 album set ©1998 The Ray Conniff Singers ● Young At Heart (1960) ● Album | CD, Sony #493046 2, UK, Part of 2 album set ©1998 As you can see, objects are grouped in my foobar2000 Playlist Viewer as: QUOTE Album Artist ● Album (Date) ● PRODUCTID But what is "PRODUCTID" and how is it specified ? It is a string in the <COMMENT> tag, and in foobar2000, if we go to Properties and have a look at the <COMMENT> tags for both album sets: QUOTE <PRODUCTID>Album | CD, Collectables #COL-CD-7488 / Sony #A 54562, USA, Part of 2 album set ©2002</PRODUCTID/> <PRODUCTID>Album | CD, Sony #493046 2, UK, Part of 2 album set ©1998</PRODUCTID/> The PRODUCTID string is retrieved from the <COMMENT> tag for display in the Playlist Viewer grouping line using this title-formatting expression: QUOTE $if($strstr(%comment%,<PRODUCTID>),' ● '$trim($substr(%comment%,$add($strstr(%comment%,<PRODUCTID>),$len(<PRODUCTID>)),$sub($strstr(%comment%,</PRODUCTID/>),1))),) So... I am sitting back listening to one of the albums playing in foobar2000... I enjoy this album by this artist very much... so I look at the details in the Playlist Viewer, and I notice it says "Part of a 2 album set"... I wonder if I have the other part in my Media Library ??? So I open the foobar2000 Library Search window and type a query using the catalog number as seen in the Playlist Viewer grouping line: %comment% HAS #A 54562 OK! ...I have both albums! ...I think I might listen to the other one now. Bye. |

I look at multiple disc releases as a victim of the limitations of the playing time of the media they are released in. When CDs are long gone it will seem very odd that someone ripped an album to separate folders, track numbers, etc. based on which disc the tracks were from. However, I do understand the desire to track the original release.
My personal practice - I name them all as the same "Album" name, use the "Disc" field in the tags to specify the media, and I just serially number all of the tracks. If three discs contain 50 tracks, then I have tracks 1-50 with the disc numbers in the "Disc" field. If there are other differentiations in the discs (studio vs. live, bonus tracks, different time period / "era", etc.) I just use the "Comments" tag for that. YMMV -------------------- Was that a 1 or a 0?

I look at multiple disc releases as a victim of the limitations of the playing time of the media they are released in. The OP's scenario is exactly the opposite of what you appear to think it is. OP is talking about multiple releases, one disc. You appear to be discussing multiple discs, one release. -------------------- Creature of habit.

Yeah, for the scenario that an album is spread across multiple discs there's already the tag fields "disc", "discnumber" and "disctotal" which apart from some differing views on what to use, work quite well.
Hm, it seems there really is no tagging standard for "sub-albums" or multi-albums compilation releases. Personally I would not use the comment field, simply because foobar2000 can use any tag field you want for sorting and therelike. It would make perfect sense to use %subalbum% for instance, and then %album% would be track 1 to n's %subalbum% + tracks n to x's %subalbum%. Then the track name columns could be something like "[%subalbum%': ']%title%". I think I'll try that out. Now I still have one problem left: For the %year% tag of the album I use the original release year (i.e. year of the first issue), which somewhat breaks with my release based database agenda, for the date of the actual release I use another tag field and let it be displayed after the album title in parenthesis along with the label and the label's catalog number. Usually that works well, but not so for compilation releases where there are original releases from different years on one CD. foobar2000 would split the album in two if I'd stick strictly to using %year% for their respective original release years. So I'd have to make the compromise and either use the year of the release that is at the beginning of the CD or is the main release and not the bonus release. I would not break my rule and use the year of the compilation reissue as the %year% since that would mess up the sorting in the artist discography. I could think about adding another tag field %original year% and use it similar to the %subalbum% field... hmmm, maybe "$if(%subalbum%,[%original year%' - ']%subalbum%': ')%title%"! Here's my current "Title / Track artist" column and it works great so far: CODE $if($stricmp($cut(%path%,4),http),%path%' - '%title%,$if(%subalbum%,[%original year%' - ']%subalbum%': ')$if(%track%,$ifequal(%title%,%track%,[%track artist%' //'],[%track artist%' // ']%title%),[%track artist%' // ']%title%)) With comments: CODE $if($stricmp($cut(%path%,4),http),%path%' - '%title%, # this is to identify some radio stations which don't have very meaningful title information $if(%subalbum%,[%original year%' - ']%subalbum%': ') # my solution for multi-album releases that preserves the release as one entity $if(%track%,$ifequal(%title%,%track%,[%track artist%' //'], # if a track has no title I delete the title tag field, in which case fb2k remaps the %title% to the %file name% which is ugly in this specific scenario [%track artist%' // ']%title%), # the track title and track artist [%track artist%' // ']%title%)) # the track title and track artist The reason why I base my music library on releases is that I may have different releases of the same albums and because internet databases like Discogs are also release based, and of course because it's what you buy in one package.

Still art slumpin' so I guess that means it's time for AVENGERS IN A LINE geez how many times have I drawn the Avengers in a line in this exact order. jhatesyourcrocs suggested that I draw the Avengers wearing sweaters and sweaters is my OTHER default mode besides Avengers, so yes obviously
Anyway I think Bruce knitted sweaters for everyone because knitting is a calming pastime, and then Thor was like LOKI IS MY BROTHER AND HE DESERVES A SWEATER TOO and so Bruce made one for Loki with Thor's design input.
I'm in love with Loki's sweater.
