Canaveral Press was a New York-based publisher of science fiction and related material, primarily in the 1960’s, owned by Jack Biblo and Jack Tannen. Most Canaveral Press titles were reprints of Edgar Rice Burroughs material on which the copyright had lapsed, but Canaveral was on good terms with the Burroughs heirs, and several Canaveral Burroughs titles are legitimate first editions of material not previously published in book form and in some cases not previously published. Canaveral also published original material by E. E. (“Doc”) Smith, L. Sprague and Catherine de Camp, and by Richard Lupoff, who edited much of the Burroughs material. A number of Canaveral Press titles were reprinted in the 1970’s.

Canaveral Press is noted for bringing some of the great illustrators of the 1960’s to the Burroughs material—notably Roy G. Krenkel, Reed Crandall and Frank Frazetta.

Sportswriter, Author, and columnist John Ed Bradley was born in Opelousas, Louisianna in 1958. In 1980, he received his BA From Louisianna State University where he was a noted football star. Bradley was a Staff writer for the Washington Post from 1983-87; and a contributing writer to the same newspaper in 1988 and 1989 while writing his first two novels, Tupelo Nights, published in New York, Atlantic Monthly Press, and London, Bloomsbury in 1988 and The Best There Ever Was, New York, Atlantic Monthly Press, and London, Bloomsbury, in 1990.

In addition to being a contributing editor for Esquire and a contributing writer for Sports Illustrated and GQ, Bradley also authored three more books in the next ten years, Love and Obits, New York, Holt, and London, Bloomsbury, 1992; Smoke, New York, Holt, 1994; and My Juliet, New York, Doubleday, in 2000.

Bradley didn't produce another novel until 2004 when Restoration, A Novel was published by Doubleday, New York. A passionate collector of Southern regionalist paintings, Bradley used his insider knowledge and years of research to create a portrait of the city where he lives and its obsession with the past. He writes of a time in the South when painting had little to do with decoration and an artist courted death with every stroke of the brush.

In 1990, Juan Carlos Capacho Durán, a Colombian music and design student of the University of Toulouse – France, created a comic called “The Red Angel” where a virtual band singing in English, French and Spanish used to starring but just right in the 2000´s the band gets an international stronger appearance in medias as SWAVE, with it hit “In the Future” of the album “From the Eternal Fall...”.

SWAVE are..

NiTRO (Voice and Guitars)

He is really toasted although what he says does not make him seems like. He enjoys much submerging himself into the ocean the sounds. They are his only stimulant since the one that he considers the love of his life has disappeared no leaving a sign.

EMMA (Voice and bass)

Her bass and swing are a tranquilizer balsam for the band. Her angelical glance and her voice, give a more spiritual touch to the band. She is quite and reflective calm.

COSMOS (Voice and Guitars)

He came from San Andres, the Colombian islands called by the pirates of the Caribbean "the seven colours sea". He has a little black daughter and the more hard character of all the band members, although he is also tender. (Mainly when he plays with the dolls right next to her). He assures to be the rencarnation of Jimmy Hendrix!

Spider Hands "ANDY" (Keyboards and Sampler)

He complaints about everything and he is some faker. Fanatic of classical music. He likes the gourmet food, the elegant clothes and the searched carefully vocabulary. Easy going in clubs but he has a great weakness, the music! And his nickname says everything about him. He is a virtuous on the piano. He plays since he knows to say "piano".

RAMON (Percussion)

He is quiet and paranoid. He invents rhythms that only he can create. He rehabilitates itself from the chocolate addiction. He doesn’t ride well with Andy outside the music but they support themselves anyway. He defective eye comes from when he practiced Shaolin like his precision to hit the drums. (Once he broke down his battery!)

Brendon Demerais (born June 14th, 1990) is one of Canada's top competitors in the sport of drifting. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, he was taught by his American cousin, Steve Mason at the age of 13 with a Nissan 240sx. He quickly learned the basics of the sport and gained a high potential for skill. Brendon has become the youngest competitor in Formula Drift Championships in the U.S., qualifying and competing in his first FD event in the summer of 2005 at Chicago, Illinois. Finishing the event in 3rd place with his Nissan 240sx, Brendon was the youngest competitor to earn a podium finish. This was the only event Brendon had participated in during the 2005 Formula D Series due to the fact that he had to go back to Saskatoon to continue school during the fall. His participation of the event is not well known in Canada because the series was only aired in the United States.

A little history
In the sixties, lots of new things came up, and sharing a flat was one of them. It was cool to be a roommate, without really having the need of it. Nowadays, things have changed. Being a roommate or flatmate has become a real way of life. Some people are living with others in a flat, since they left their parents. Not only because it is cheaper to be sharing the costs of a rent (even if this is the case in 80%), but because they feel that they want to live together in the same house or flat.

New Roommate
New Roommate.co.uk is a website made by 4 people who lived as roommates for the last 11 years. They lived a bit everywhere, from Santa Rosa California, to Montpellier South of France, Barcelona, Freemantle in Australia or even Munich. They have gathered their experiences, and thought that a website with a forum and tips could gather the community of flatmates. The site has just started, but do not hesitate to post, the newroommate team will be happy to help you out!

Tips
The Tips section gathers tips like words and expressions to know before signing a contract with a landlord, useful links to embassies worldwide, translations in French / German / Spanish. But there is also a very well explanation, on how swindlers can steal money away from you through the internet. Read it carefully, because if it does happen to you, you can lose hundreds of £ or € and there is not much you will be able to do about it.

Links to major Websites
New Roommate is a free website and it is providing you with a list of sites where you can register and find tons of ads. For the international websites, some of the links provided are not translated in English. Use the Tips page to sort it out : most of the common questions and answers are translated to help you out.

Robert B. Shepherd Jr.(1985-?)was born in Portland, Maine to mother Susan and father Dr. Robert B. Shepherd Sr. At age two, his sister was born. Gradually, another sister was adopted from South Korea and two younger brothers were born. He gradually rose through the ranks of his public school system and made the most of it through being involved with programs such as the costa rica student exchange and the high school's multiple awardwinning Grammy Signature Highschool music program. He also served as his class president for 8th grade, junior and senior years of high school after having run unsuccessfully for freshman and sophomore years. Upon graduating from Wachusett Regional High School in 2003, he attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst where he earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Political Science along with a second major in History and a certificate in International Relations. He has done internships with private law firms, public defender's offices, and various Republican political campaigns.During his time at UMASS Amherst, he became very involved with the University's Sudler Award winning Minuteman marching band where he played alto sax as well as served as a rank leader on field staff and as a member of the publicity administrative staff. He also gradually rose his way through campus politics, twice serving as treasurer of the UMASS Republican Club, a Registered Student Organization with one of the highest annual budgets at the school (allocated roughly $20,000 a year). He excelled tremendously at the University of Massachusetts, appearing on the dean's list all 8 semesters. He additionally was invited to and accepted membership with the Pi Sigma Alpha, Phi Alpha Theta, Golden Key, Phi Kappa Phi, and Phi Beta Kappa honor socities. His reasearch included an analysis linking female body types to social trends throughout the twentieth century, a historical analysis of government's treatment of the disabled (which is slated to appear on the disability history museum website at www.disabilitymuseum.org), a political-economic study on the importance of federalism in modern states attempting to economically and politically liberalize, and an analysis of modern literature as a critique of classical political theory. The latter became his senior thesis which is currently housed in the University's library. His study on the importance of federalism in attempts at liberalization, a topic soon to be published in book form, particuarly holds poignant importance for decisionmakers in states like Iraq which are currently trying to maintain national stability while facing the rise of globalization and liberalization. Shepherd graduated Summa cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts' prestigious Commonwealth College Honors program. He then earned a Juris Doctor from the Quinnipiac University School of Law where he graduated Magna cum Laude with an honors concentration tax law. He also earned a Masters in Business Administration from Quinnipiac University and is a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society. Shepherd has been published twice: first "What Roosevelt Thought: A Rough Rider's Guide to the USTEA" and secondly "Illegitimacy, Inefficiency and Disrespect: A call for reforming the causes of action for misuse of legal process."

Cyril Khersonsky

Cyril Khersonsky was born in Russia. After several years his family immigrated to America in the sleepy town of Pittsburg PA, and then eventually arrived at Fair Lawn NJ. Cyril is most notable for climbing Mount Everest in 1999. After attending Fair Lawn High, he decided to become a software engineer. He received acceptance to Rochester Institute of Technology. After realizing he wasn't going to make it as a software engineer he decided he would go into Finance.

During his high school and College days Cyril planned the most important mission of his life. To climb Mount Everest. It took Cyril 7 years to finally reach the top of Mount Everest in a tremendous battle of wills. Refusing to give up, his courage and strength kept him climbing to the top snowy peaks.

Today Cyril resides with his prize for climbing Mount Everest, Anna, in New York City. A successful financier and devoted husband, Cyril obtained a position at world renowned JP Morgan Chase. Where he gives speeches on his most notable accomplishments.

Sasha Gindin was born in Leningrad Russia on May 10, 1981. Although he planned to come out on the 37th anniversary of Victory Day, he got held up; perhaps this was a precursor of him being late through out his life. His family immigrated to Pittsburgh PA in the late 80’s and Sasha was introduced to a new life in the provincial Pennsylvania town. Sasha attended middle school in Pittsburgh and during those years, he met his arch nemesis Cyril Khersonsky. Cyril Khersonsky was introduced to the Gindin household through the dating and later marriage of Sonya Gindin, Sasha’s sister, and Cyril’s infamous brother Serge Khersonsky. (The future achievements of the successful pair would create much pressure for Sasha and Cyril to attain success) Cyril and Sasha did not see eye to eye at first, due to Sasha’s inherent need to make fun of Cyril, which made Cyril quite peeved. The two parted ways only to reconnect and family happenings and later at Indiana University. Sasha attended Indiana University in 2000 as he learned the “rules of the road” in picking up chicks. Although Sasha changed his mind in majors quite often, he learned that nothing in life is easy and one needs to study to progress in life. He also learned that one must be of great stature to impress girlfriends’ fathers (Cyril recalled from a Minnesota trip he had with Sasha) In 2002, Sasha decided to leave Indiana for the Quaker state, as he missed it much. He finished his degree in finance and MIS at University of Pittsburgh and had many lucrative job offers for employment. Sasha decided to go with Morgan Stanley, the very successful Wall Street Investment Bank. After obtaining employment, Sasha dove in to his work and became a changed man. He was constantly on his beeper/blackberry and bought a overcoat to look more formidable on the harsh streets of New York City. As he traveled back to the Quaker state, innocent and unknowing young girls fell head over heals over young Gindin. In 2006, Sasha Gindin broke his leg while going down the Belt Parkway (ski slope in Hunter NY) as he was trying to impress young women. As he sped around the turn, he lost control, and had to go down the mountain in a yellow sled. He still blames Serge and Cyril Khersonsky for loosing his shoe but both deny responsibility.

Today, Sasha resides in New York City and holds an important role at Morgan Stanley. Over the years, he has smitten many women; some say he is a reincarnation of Casanova. He has many talents like playing guitar, singing, drawing, cooking and pretty much anything he puts his mind to. He sometimes acts pretty bitchy but he is still a swell guy.

Beginings
Peroxyde was formed in late 2006 in Chateauguay, Quebec, Canada. The band had it's origin back when Max (Bass) and Renaud (Guitar) each got guitars. Stephen (Guitar) persued and also aquired a guitar. After months of practicing Punk and pop-punk songs together, Max purchased an electric Bass and the earliest form of what would become Peroxyde took shape. Nearly a year later, the trio recruited Michael as a drummer. A week later, Steven joined as singer. As soon as the lineup was solidified, the band began writting songs

The first song written by the quintet was "Cosmic Clowns" The rhythm and Lead guitar along with bass and half of the lyrics were written almost a year before. Since then, Peroxyde has written nearly 30 songs, not including the odd cover song they happen to play. A source close to the band has stated that the band will use "around 10" songs for their debut L.P. which remains untitled.
