4000 Facebook User's Gate-Crashed A Teenage Girl's Birthday Party
Some of you must have read about this,I’m posting it just to give all xpressurselfshow readers a gentle reminder not to let this happen to you in any event you are planning for….be careful when using facebook.
Police were pelted with stones, bottles, bicycles, and potted plants when they tried to enter the house in Haren near the northern city of Groningen on Friday, said the Dutch news agency ANP.
Describing a scene of "chaos", ANP quoted local police as saying several people had been injured, two seriously. Four arrests were made, but police said more could be expected after pictures they took were studied.
The police had been on high alert after the schoolgirl posted a message inviting friends to her 16th birthday party on social networking site Facebook, but forgot to mark it as a private event, prompting more than 20,000 replies. Public television station NOS said up to 4,000 people, the vast majority of them young, had turned up in Haren, which has a population of 18,000.
Cars and doorways were damaged by objects thrown at police blocking the street where the girl lives. Riot police made several charges to disperse the youths trying to get access to the downtown street. The birthday girl had meanwhile, fled her home earlier in the day.
"She posted the invitation on Facebook and sent it to friends, who then sent it to other friends and soon it spread like wildfire across the Internet," Melanie Zwama, Groningen police spokeswoman, told the AFP news agency.
Several websites have sprung up dedicated to the party and referring to 2012 US teen film "Project X" - about a suburban birthday party getting out of control after an invitation goes viral. One site referred to Friday's party as "Project X Haren", counting down the seconds to the event and claiming 150,000 people had been invited.
It also published the party's address, adding: "By all means bring some friends!" Previously "Project X" parties have run riot in different parts of the world including Germany, Australia and especially the US, where teens wrecked an unoccupied Texas home, causing damage of up to $100,000.

Woman Unknowingly Married Her Father
It was a dark secret. The kind that destroys lives, devastates families and decimates faith.
Nobody shared it with Valerie Spruill while her husband was alive. For years after his death, she heard bits of the story. It was something about an absentee father, something about her husband.
None of it made sense, she said. That's not until her uncle finally told her what no one else had: She had unknowingly married the father she never knew.
"It is devastating. It can destroy you," Spruill told CNN late Thursday by telephone. "It almost did." Spruill, 60, of Doylestown, Ohio, went public with her story this month, first published in the Akron Beacon Journal, with the hopes that it would help others facing what seem like insurmountable problems.
It's a story that has gone viral, attracting attention as faraway as Australia and India where the questions are always the same, she says: How could that happen? WCPO: How a woman unwittingly married her father It's a question that Spruill said she has been grappling with since she first learned the truth in 2004, six years after her husband Percy Spruill died.
"I don't know if he ever knew or not. That conversation didn't come up," she said. "I think if he did know, there is no way he could have told me." She confirmed that her husband was indeed her father through a DNA test, hair taken from one of his brushes.
The aftermath of the secret was devastating emotionally -- and physically, Spruill suffered two strokes and was diagnosed with diabetes. All of it, she believes was brought on by learning the family secret. "Pain and stress will kill, and I had to release my stress," Spruill said. "I'm just telling the story to release my pain." She has a deep, abiding faith in God, who she believes has guided her through the experience -- and others that have shaped her life. "You have to have faith," she said.
"If God brought me this far, he's not going to leave me now." Spruill met and married her husband-father in Akron and settled in Doylestown, a working class suburb of about 2,300. It was her second marriage. Spruill was a nice man, a good provider. He was kind to her three children from her previous marriage. "We had a good life," she said. She initially struggled with anger, with hating Spruill for what happened. But therapy taught her what happened wasn't her fault.
Her faith taught her to forgive. Initial response to her story has been mixed: "More positive than negative," she says. In recent days, she has been in contact with a couple who found out after they were married that they were brother and sister. They told her, she said, that her story is helping them deal with their own experience.
"They are trying to be friends now," Spruill said. Others, though, have been less kind. "They've said things like 'Some secrets should stay secrets,'" she said. "I can't do anything about what they think. I just know what I think. God is always mighty, and he teaches you to tell the truth no matter what." Spruill knows not everybody tells the truth. It's a lesson she learned as a child the hard way.
By all accounts, Spruill's mother got pregnant as a teenager while dating her then 15-year-old father. She was 3-months-old when she was sent to live with her grandmother and grandfather, who she initially believed as she grew up was her father. Spruill said at about age 8 or 9, she discovered that the woman who often visited the house was not a family friend but her mother. But nobody, she said, talked about her father.
There's nobody left to give her the answers about her husband-father. Her mother, Christine, died in 1984. Her grandparents have long since passed. So, too, have a number of Percy Spruill's relatives. Spruill knows her mother worked as a LovePeddler and even got caught up in the 1980 high-profile corruption scandal surrounding James Barbuto, a probate judge who was convicted of intimidating investigators and gross intimate imposition for attacking a courthouse clerk in his chambers.
"My mother showed me lots of love. All said and done, I have no regrets in my life at all," she said. She believes she has siblings or half-siblings from Spruill's previous relationships, including the one with her mother. She said she wants to find them and let them know they are not alone. Spruill, herself, has three children and eight grandchildren. She struggled with telling her children that the man they believed was their step-father was their grandfather.
A therapist "advised me to tell my kids," she said. "I told them about two years ago. They are remarkable. They are handling it better than I am." In recent days, shortly before the news broke, she also told her grandchildren. "They have been so supportive. They are telling me they love me, telling me they will do whatever I need," she said.
In her spare time, since retiring from the accounting department where she worked for 34 years at Goodyear, she has been writing down her story with the hopes of publishing it. "I thank God that he gave me a chance to live through all of this," she said. "It is nothing short of a miracle that I'm still here.
I want people to know that they can survive something like this."

Massive protests in Kano over anti-Islam movie
Tens of thousands of Nigerians on Saturday protested on the streets of Nigeria’s city of Kano against an anti-Islam film made in the US that has stirred outrage across the Muslim world.
The crowd of demonstrators stretched several kilometres through the city, the largest in Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, with protesters shouting “death to America, death to Israel and death to the enemies of Islam”.
There had been protests in Zaria, in Kaduna state and an attempt to stage one in the volatile city of Jos was broken with the security agencies firing guns into the air to dismiss the demonstrators.
The rally was being organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a pro-Iranian group that adheres to the Shiite branch of Islam, which has operated in Africa’s most populous country since the late 1970s.
“We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this blasphemous film,” said Muhammed Turi, a member of the Islamic Movement and one of the protest leaders.
“This protest is also aimed at calling on the US government to put a halt to further blasphemy against Islam,” he added. Demonstrators carried pictures of US President Barack Obama, as well as American and Israeli flags as they marched towards a palace owned the Emir of Kano, the top religious figure in the city of roughly 4.5 million people.
Others were waving Iranian flags. The low-budget film “Innocence of Muslims,” has incited a wave of bloody anti-American violence in cities across the Muslim world, with protests occurring in more than 20 countries. In Pakistan, 15 people reportedly died in the protests.

Kanye West sex video with Kim Kardashian Look-alike
According to RadarOnline, this sex tape is being shopped right now and there's a lot of interest, but Kanye is freaking out!
The tape is nearly 20 minutes long and appears to have been shot in a hotel room with an unidentified female who clearly states at the beginning of the video that she's 18 years old and she also tells West on the tape she's married and says "My husband and I don't have sex anymore ... that's why I'm here" .
RadarOnline said its employees have seen the tape and can verify without a doubt that it's West in the footage and that he is aware he is being filmed because he not only set up the camera, but also looks directly into the device at the end of the video. The pair allegedly didn’t kiss or interact in any way apart from trying out various positions.
According to an industry insider, this tape was shot shortly before Kanye officially got together with Kim in March, and he is said to be 'terrified' about the video being leaked.

£1million Mansion Owned by Nigerian Man who Claimed he earned £700 Monthly
A Nigerian minicab driver, Ovo Mayomi (44) and his wife Juliet Ubiribo (32) involved in fraud and immigration scam in the UK has been uncovered.
Mr. Mayomi who claimed he was earning just £700 monthly and his wife, Juliet, were convicted of fraud in 2010 after using an identity and immigration scam to falsely claim £43,000 in benefits. Juliet claimed benefits after telling benefit bosses she was a single mother and a victim of domestic violence. They lived in Croydon, South London.
After their crime was discovered, their assets were frozen, and an investigation into the amount they gained from their crimes was launched.
Croydon Council discovered that Mayomi, who received a 30 month sentence two years ago, owned a luxurious home worth more than £1m in Nigeria, complete with chandeliers, £89,000 worth of sound equipment and a £25,000 watch.
His wife wore a Rolex watch and drove a Mercedes Sport Coupe.
The British Investigators also discovered that he owned two money-transferring businesses, bank accounts and a fish farm in Nigeria.
According to a report by Daily Mail, his wife, Juliet had claimed to be a single parent claiming housing and council tax benefits. She then asked the council to rehome her to escape domestic violence, but the number given for her landlord was in fact that of Mayomi, under a false name.
At a police interview, Mayomi admitted he bought the identity of Ayiomike Matthew Neburagho and had entered the UK as him. Mayomi was also shown a wedding photograph of himself, using the Neburagho identity, marrying a Nigerian woman in the UK.
He admitted he was the groom in the wedding photo but he said he was “just standing in for someone”. Juliet and Mayomi pleaded guilty to all charges. Now, a judge has ordered Mayomi to pay £1,197,743.54 by March 14 next year or face six years in jail, with the debt remaining. At an earlier hearing Juliet was told to pay £9,357.42 or face five months in jail.
Their scam was unravelled when a visa application by Mayomi showed they had married a year earlier and that Juliet had a job in order to support him. Their action has caused an outrage from some UK residents who say that the couple are part of those draining the housing and benefit system funded by taxpayers money. Here are pictures of their mansion in Lekki, Lagos state discovered by the fraud investigators:
