May 16, 2012 - No Responses

Set in the early 20th century, against the backdrop of the poverty of North-East Scotland, and the looming war, Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn), the eldest daughter of poor farmers barely making it, struggles for love amid hardship and family misfortune. After her mother, broken by a life of poverty and repeated child-birth, poisons herself and her new baby twins, the ever resilient young Chris must manage the farm. Subsequently she is forced to deal with father who has a stroke yet is eager to have an incestuous relationship with his daughter, compelling her to use all her wits to hold the family together and not lose the farm. Finally she finds love, only soon to see her new husband depart for the Great War. While all this goes on, she remains wedded to the farm, connected to a land about to be changed forever by the onset of technology and war.
Top model Deyn appeared as Aphrodite in Clash of the Titans and made her stage debut this year in François Archambault’s comedy, The Leisure Society. She’ll next be seen as a stripper in the English-language remake of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher, but this is her first leading film role.

By CURT ANDERSON AP Legal Affairs Writer
MIAMI (AP) — A Florida man convicted of crack cocaine offenses may get his conviction and 24-year sentence tossed out because of false testimony and tainted evidence.
Federal prosecutors and a defense attorney have recommended that the case be dismissed against 45-year-old Elroy Phillips. A Miami judge held a hearing Wednesday but did not immediately rule.
After his 2003 conviction, Phillips began his own investigation and uncovered that false records and untrue testimony were used against him. Evidence also was not turned over to the defense as required.
In addition, Phillips found that a former West Palm Beach police officer involved in the case was at the time also using and selling illegal drugs and engaging prostitutes.

Miami Beach Adult Entertainment: Red-top treatment for the Canadian woman who came before Dania Suarez

May 16, 2012 - No Responses

Daily News: And for proof that an exclusive does not necessarily mean a good story, look no further than the cover of the News today, which brings us word that a year ago, and months before the Secret Service scandal in Colombia, Arthur Huntington (the agent who allegedly stiffed the prostitute in Cartagena, blowing the scandal up) had an affair with a woman from Canada.

It took me a while to sort that out actually. There is a blown-up black-and-white photo of Huntington, with a red circle that says “FIRST PHOTO.” (Also red-top stuff: “FIRST PHOTO” means this is the first photo of Huntington to have emerged; not that the News is the first to publish it.) There’s a box with a red bar exclaiming the story an EXCLUSIVE, and an inset picture of the front page from April 20th, which carried a similar FIRST PHOTO of Cartagena prostitute Dania Suarez with a distinctly foreign-seeming red circle that read “WE BRING …

Cities take different stances on liquor, strip clubs

The cities of North Miami and North Miami Beach are addressing a touchy subject: strip clubs.The neighboring Northeast Miami-Dade cities have similar rules that prohibit liquor sales, consumption and nudity in the same establishment.While North Miami Beach is trying to enforce its code, North Miami has given preliminary approval to eliminate the rule altogether. The North Miami Beach crackdown on the three strip clubs within its boundaries is causing some friction.Since the 1989 ordinance prohibiting the sale of alcohol in all nude clubs passed, a number of strip clubs in North Miami Beach have operated with nude dancers and served alcohol.City Manager Lyndon Bonner, who was hired in March 2011, said he can’t speak for previous administrations, but he intends to enforce the code.A memo dated March 22 from the city addressed to representatives of Dean’s Gold, G5ive Lounge and Swinging Richards — the three adult entertainment clubs in the city — shows that the clubs met with Bonner to discuss “code complianc …
