Alan Teitleman
Alan was born in Abingdon, Pennsylvania and grew up in North East Philadelphia, attending private schools in Yardley and Philadelphia. His family moved to Matthews, North Carolina where he graduated from David W. Butler High School, as a North Carolina Academic Scholar. After graduation, he went to Appalachian State University, maintaining a GPA above 3.3 and earning the ASU Local Government Alumni Scholarship my sophomore year.

After College, Alan accepted a position in the North Carolina Legislature, serving as the legislative aide to the State House member who represented District 103. During that time, his roots in the district grew even deeper, with relationships built with dozens of elected officials, town staff, precinct officials, and the general public. During the near two years he served in the State House, Alan addressed hundreds of citizen complaints and constituent service requests. He quickly learned that the wheels of progress do in fact turn quite slowly, and that he wanted to affect change by serving the citizens of House District 103 as their Representative.

From a young age, Alan knew he had a calling to public service. While barely a high school student, he began his involvement on campaigns and worked as an intern for the State Treasurer. Throughout high school and beyond, Alan assumed numerous leadership roles within the Republican Party, including chairman of the Teenage Republicans of Mecklenburg County, Campus Director and later Chairman of the Appalachian State University College Republicans, Regional Director of the North Carolina Young Republicans and Vice-Chairman of the Mecklenburg Young Republicans. He was also tapped to serve as campaign chairman for the Mecklenburg County Republican Party and is a voting member of the State Republican Party's Executive Committee. Within a week of turning 18 and registering to vote, Alan was appointed to his first government advisory board. He served on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and was later appointed by the Mecklenburg County Commission by a 9-0 vote to serve an additional two year term. He also served terms on the City of Charlotte's Neighborhood Matching Grants Review Team as well as on the Board of Directors for Kids Voting-Mecklenburg.

Besides serving in the Legislature, Alan joined his family Real Estate Firm and became a licensed Real Estate Broker. He also holds a Notary Public license for the State of North Carolina and has done consulting for various Republican candidates across North Carolina.

On September 25, 2007, Alan Teitleman announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for the 103rd House Seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. That seat, which has been held by Jim Gulley since 1996, encompasses the towns of Matthews and Mint Hill, as well as parts of East Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. His campaign website is located at: www.Alan08.com

Adolfo Bermudez
Adolfo Bermudez is an American professional wrestler, known by his ringname Dances with Dudleys, who competed in North American independent promotions including the American Wrestling Federation, International World Class Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, most notably as an early member of the Dudley family while wrestling for promotion during the mid-1990s.

Early career
Making his professional debut in 1992, Bermudez began wrestling for Angelo Savoldi's International World Class Championship Wrestling as Dancing Wolf of the Sioux War Party with White Cloud and within months of their debut defeated The Canadians in a tournament final to win the vacant IWCCW tag Team Championship in Hamburg, Pennsylvania on May 9, 1992.

Remaining undefeated for nearly a year, they eventually lost the titles to Jimmy Deo & L.A. Gore in Dover, New Hampshire on June 6, they regained the title that same night although they later vacated the titles after leaving the promotion the following year.

After a brief stay in the AWF, he and White Wolf won the AWF tag team titles before Burmudez was brought into Extreme Championship Wrestling to replace Snot Dudley who had been injured at ECW Hardcore Heaven earlier that year.

Extreme Championship Wrestling
Introduced by Daddy Dudley as one of several long lost members of the Dudley family in late 1995, he was supposedly the result of a visit from Daddy Dudley who had stayed for a time at an unnamed Cheyenne Reservation in Oklahoma. He and Dudley Dudley began teaming together loosing to the Steiner Brothers and Public Enemy during August although they later defeated Chad Austin & Don E. Allen at Gangstas Paradise on September 16, 1995 and later faced J.T. Smith and Hack Meyers in singles matches.

After loosing to ECW Tag Team Champions The Pit Bulls on September 23 and The Gangstas on October 6, Dudley Dudley left to pursue a singles career and was replaced by Buh Buh Ray Dudley however they would lose to The Pit Bulls, Public Enemy and The Eliminators during November and early December. Reuniting with Dudley Dudley at December to Dismember to defeat the Bad Crew on December 9, he and Buh Buh Ray Dudley would also defeat Bad Crew on December 28 although they would loose to them in a rematch two days later later that month.

In early 1996, Bermudez suffered a leg injury during a match against on April 13 and was attacked by D-Von Dudley following the match; this was D-Von Dudley's first appearance in the promotion. Following the attack by D-Von Dudley, he and the other members of the Dudleys feuded with the renegade Dudley. He and Chubby Dudley soon left the promotion however, allegedly in a dispute with promoter Paul Heyman.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is an adage which began as the caption of a famous The New Yorker cartoon published on 5 July 1993 and authored by Peter Steiner. The cartoon shows two dogs, one sitting on a chair in front of a computer speaking the caption to a second dog sitting on the floor As of 2000, the panel was the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker.

As a commentary on Internet privacy
The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of the Internet that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general obscurity, despite how little anonymity the internet actually provides. Lawrence Lessig suggests "No one knows" because the Internet protocols do not force a user to credential who they are, although local access points, such as a user's university, might; however, this information is privately held by the local access point and is not part of the Internet transaction.

As a commentary on Internet sociology
A study by Morahan-Martin and Schumacher (2000) on compulsive or problematic Internet use discusses this phenomenon, suggesting the ability to self-represent from the behind the computer screen may be part the compulsion to go online. The phrase can be taken "to mean that cyberspace will be liberatory because gender, race, age, looks or even 'dogness' are absent there," an understanding echoed in 1996 by John Gilmore, a key figure in the history of Usenet. The phrase also suggests the ability to "computer crossdress" and represent oneself as a different gender, age, race, etc. On another level, the "freedom which the dog chooses to avail itself of is the freedom to 'pass' as part of a privileged group; i.e. human computer users with access to the Internet."

Ryan Naumenko
Ryan Naumenko (AKA BiG TEK). Born 13th April 1983, Moe, Victoria, Australia.

Ryan Naumenko, was born April 13th 1983 to a european family in the small country town of Moe, Victoria, Australia.

Beginning life as someone who got pushed around at school, Naumenko, soon developed a circle of friends in Melbourne (2 hours away) to start gaining power and respect. His criminal career started at the age of 15. He began by selling stolen computers, game consoles, various weapons and new release CDs to the school community. He quickly grew from somebody who was disrespected to someone with alot more influence.

Once school had been completed (I beleive year 12 or so), he began work as a co-manager of a nightclub in his home town, Moe. The owners of the club were associated with various Melbourne street crews and were known mafioso. Manager and friend Tony Ambesi at the time was known for narcotics distribution, another person known only as "Zladi" (Zlatko Besic) controlled the sales of Speed, Ecstasy and Marijuana from Noble Park to Traralgon, both places in Victoria about 2 hours apart.

Naumenko saw this as a chance to open a door to something different, and so he began associating with the Melbourne underworld.

In 2005, Naumenko, was arrested and charged by the [http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4510.0Explanatory%20Notes12003? Embona Taskforce], a group of various skilled detectives set up to inflitrate the money laundering ring (scam) he was involved in. They approached him as he pulled up in his sky blue Mercedes Benz and proceeded to draw weapons upon him to force him out of the car.

The "Herald Sun", a major Melbourne newspaper, published a story about 1 month after the arrest, read the story here. Naumenko claimed in court to have never spoken to the Herald Sun about what happened and claims to this day the Herald Sun had no authority to publish the story as it made him out to be a "rat".

Naumenko, is now the CEO of independant record label "XXL Records Australia". He began this label from his own funds and is currently a major supporter in the fight to get kids off the street. It seemed for a while that Naumenko was changing his life, until recent incidents occured.

XXL has been under the close watch by many other small labels in the game, and Naumenko has been accused of funelling illegal funds through the label and donating it to various charities in the name of XXL Recordings. Also known in the hiphop circle as "BiG TEK", it is vary rare to see him at any clubs without undercover armed securuity guards hired from a major international security company to protect him from people in the hiphop community. As well as professional security guards he is regularly seen with two Melbourne and New York underworld figures, being good friend Dominic "Mimi" Scialo and the other Christopher Liberatore. Both associates are involved deeply in the "Columbo Crime Family" based in New York. Naumenko is also an "Australian Soldier" for the afore mentioned crime family, and therefore answers to Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli if called upon.

Naumenko, has now hired "high class" gangland lawyer, Zarah Garde-Wilson to represent him in upcomming court cases. Garde-Wilson has acted for underworld figures Carl Williams and also Tony (Antonias) Mokbel and has recently appeared in Australias "GQ" Magzaine. It is unclear if Naumenko is involved with either person (Mokbel or Williams).

Mr. Naumenko continues to be a player in the underworld, he is very intelligent and very rarely will slip up. He has been arrested and charge 16 time to date, and has not served on day of jail time.

Irish Ghetto Milan
The Irish Ghetto Milan is a small area in the Navigli district of South Central Milan which is home to Milan's greatest concentration of 'Italo-Irlandese' immigrants.

The heart of the Irish Ghetto in Milan encompasses the streets 'Via Vigevano' and 'Via Corsico', the latter being home to the infamous 'Casa Irlandese'. The bespoke 'Casa Irlandese' has been notably referred to in works of Italo Svevo and James Joyce who brought the Casa to life, scribing it as 'the durtiest of ghettos with the durtiest of burds to ever have set foot in the 'bel paese'. Today the 'Casa Irlandese' retains the memories of times past with its dilapidated interior and undesirable tenants, the majority of whom are female. Despite the rough character of the 'Casa Irlandese', the dwellers keep a relatively low key profile, living in peace with the neighbouring Roma and Crusty Communities - none of which wish to attract the attention of the ever vigilant Vigilanza Città di Milano authority.

Although life can be tough in the Irish Ghetto Milan, its residents maintain their own ways of escaping from the day to day reminders of their truly depressing and futile existence. The inhabitants of the 'Casa Irlandese' are easily spotted drowning their sorrows alongside their Italian down-and-out counterparts in 'Bradipo', a shady watering hole on Via Vigevano which is renowned for serving a ferosciously potent Negroni Sbagliato. One of the Italo-Irlandese, who has requested to remain anonymous for legal reasons, devotes much of his free time to egg-chasing, an up and coming adventure sport in italy which originates from the fields of Rathmines and Ranelagh in Ireland. Also worthy of note is the 'Irish Cenacolo'or 'Irish Last Supper' which derives its name from the occasion on which it is held, the last Sunday of the month that is. The 'Irish Cenacolo' is, however, an endangered event with growing competetion from the attractive Senegalese and Navigli Markets, where local sellers display antique furniture, mini tricycles and other categories of bric-a-brac.

Despite its long reigning tenure in the Navigli area, the Irish Ghetto is, however, entering an uncertain period in its history with many of it chief founders rumoured to be planning their return to Ireland within the coming 12 months. The legacy of the Irish Ghetto Navigli will, no doubt, live on; in the form of the annual Navigli St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quarterly art exhibitions at the Pinacoteca di Brera.

Steve Jesus Hercules Yetman
Steve Yetman is a notbale geographer, specialising in physical geography. He is also Admiral Supreme of the RGS Naval Fleet, and a hugely inspiring charcter, always ready and willing to lead his troops into battle, in the name of his country and establishment. He is a pragmatic charcter, possibly even an anachronism, being ahead of his time in both political stance and teaching methods. Particular favourites include the A3 fact sheet on case studies like the Bangladesh Floods and the Epping Forest Management Schemes. He has, however, not always been a geographer. Some of his jobs include a barman, accountant and chalet boy. He is known to be a keen skier and runs the Ski Race Team in his spare time. He regularly visits his parents in Guernsey. His marital status is unknown at the moment. Most of all he is an inspiration to all the RGS Naval Cadets and to his students. A truly great man.

Casey-Lee Jolleys
Casey-Lee made her television debut at the tender age of nine years old singing and dancing her way into the final on Saturday superstore search for a superstar (BBC). After winning numerous British, English and World Championship titles in ballet, tap, modern and disco dancing Casey-Lee was asked to partner that late Roy Castle in a tap dancing duet at the Children’s Royal Variety Show in front of Princess Margaret. To date no one has ever won all three British dance Championships in ballet, tap and modern dancing and retained them for more than three consecutive years. Nippon Television in Tokyo Japan invited Casey-Lee to appear in a program featuring talented children from around the world which was an incredible experience at nine years of age. Having got the chance to co-host the Saturday morning program It’s Wicked (BBC) she caught the bug of presenting live television and later went on to present channel 5’s Milkshake for two years. Casey-Lee appeared in the children’s drama series Gruey (BBC) followed by Gruey Twoey playing the part of Annie Mappin. After completing her “A” levels Casey-Lee performed in the West End hit musicals Starlight Express and Miss Saigon. She also starred in many pantomimes up and down the country, Aladdin Lowry Theatre Salford (Princess Jasmine), Peter Pan Palace Theatre Mansfield (Tinkerbell), Dick Whittington Theatre Royal Plymouth and New Theatre Cardiff (Alice Fitzwarren), Jack and the Beanstalk New Wimbledon Theatre London (Princess Apricot), Cinderella Palace Theatre Mansfield (Cinderella) and Aladdin Theatre Royal Glasgow (Princess Jasmine). Casey-Lee stared in the popular children’s series Beachcomber Bay for Channel 5 and due to its overwhelming success filmed it for three years. When Coronation Street (ITV Granada) asked Casey-Lee to play the part of Orchid/Stacey she was thrilled and won a Heritage Award for her performance in this role. Since working together with Bobby Ball in Pantomime at The Theatre Royal Cardiff in Wales it became their joint ambition to open an Academy incorporating all forms of Dance, Drama, Singing and Comedy and in 2007 this dream became reality with the opening of The Casey-Lee Jolleys Academy of Dance & Drama in Bolton, Lancashire. Casey-Lee is proud to be starring in pantomime in Preston this year (2007) and what makes it extra special is that the babes will be children from her own Academy of Dance & Drama.

Islandeady
Islandeady Parish - a Short History The name Islandeady or Oilean Eadaigh may be derived from 13th century St Eiden who founded a church in the hillside cemetery. A church site at Annagh dates from Patrician times. Ancient churches were at Rehins, which Patrick also visited, Drimneen, Kilbree and Knockbawn in Glenisland.

Aolain, who gives his name to Glenisland ‘Gleann Aolain’, was a saint who lived here. Nearby, in Pollanass, is a double-cupped stone reputed to show the marks of the hermit’s knees.

Islandeady parish borders those of Westport, Kilmeena and Castlebar, and stretches from Crumpaun river, near Glenhest on the north, to Ayle near Aughagower on the south.

Traces of Mass paths in many villages leading to the Church are proof of the devotion of the people to the Mass. In 1574 Islandeady was a curacy only. In 1591, however, Very Rev. Hubert Og Burke was parish priest and Rev John Hubain curate.

The present church of Islandeady, dedicated to St Patrick, was originally thatched. On his appointment as parish priest in 1849 Very Rev John Fitzgerald had the building slated and the centre aisle, or ‘long house’, was added.

The Church of the Holy Rosary in Glenisland was built in 1820 for 150 pounds.

Islandeady was decimated by the Famine. In 1834 the Catholic population was 9,164. Two decades later, the number had dwindled by half. In 1844 there were 370 baptisms. Nine years later only one hundred babies were baptised. The population of the parish in 2003 stood at 1550.

The earliest recorded baptisms and marriages come from Very Rev Richard Henry, appointed parish priest in 1839. Celebrations marking 150 years of those records were held in 1989.

Evictions were commonplace when Very Rev Thomas O’Malley, a Jesuit, was appointed parish priest in 1872. Fr. O’Malley, a native of the parish, was highly influential and his intervention saved many tenants from eviction by the agents of landlords to whom he did not endear himself.

A former curate, Rev Francis J. McCormack, (1862-1867), was appointed Bishop of Achonry and, from 1887 until his death in 1909, was Bishop of Galway.

Further refurbishment of St Patrick’s Church was undertaken by Very Rev Stephen Blowick - brother of Fr. John, cofounder of the Society of St Columban - following his appointment as parish priest in 1951. Very Rev Anthony O’Toole had the ‘Long House’ porch added in 1988.

Islandeady Community Council We in Islandeady are very fortunate to have a magnificent voluntary organisation such as the Community council, working tirelessly on behalf of the Community. The Council began in 1976, almost thirty years ago and has gone from strength to strength.

Early Days Prior to 1976 people had their own wells, or got water from local rivers and lakes. One of the first projects the newly formed Community Council took on was the provision of a clean reliable water supply to all households and farms. The condition of the many roads in our parish was another area of great concern. Many roads needed urgent resurfacing or other remedial work. Until the advent of the Community Council, there was no organisation in approaching the Authorities on behalf of individuals or villages. Indeed many roads were in a dreadful condition with some still not yet been tarred. Significant improvements have been made since then due to the persistence of Community Council members.

Achievements The following is just some of the Community Council achievements over the years:

Car Parking facilities at Islandeady Church and Graveyard Sign Post from main roads to villages, many of which have been set in stone The removal of dangerous bends and other hazards on some of our minor roads in the Parish The management of several FAS schemes in the Parish, comprising of local men who carried out work that greatly enhance the appearance of the area and such examples are as follows: Building of superb stone walls in a variety of locations throughout the Parish Excellent development work at the Islandeady GAA pitch Involvement in the installation of Islandeady Group Water Scheme Restoration of the Old Church and development of the old part of the Cemetery The building of stone shrines at St Patrick’s Church Islandeady and the Cemetery In conjunction with the Islandeady Angling Club, wonderful development of the shoreline of Bilberry lake to facilitate the mooring of Boats and additional ancillary works The production of the Islandeady Millennium Parish Magazine and a Souvenir publication of “Islandeady Parish” past & present. The most recent and greatest achievement of recent times has been the successful refurbishment of the Community Centre in Islandeady

HP-67
In mid 1976 the HP-67 was launched 2 and ½ years later than the HP-65 to replace it. The HP-67 takes the same features than the HP-65, like the magnetic card reader, the programmable functions and even the same looking, but adds more memory and is more user friendly.

The HP-67 was declined in a printer version : the HP-97 (a desktop model, also working on batteries). Both models were fully compatible (exept that the 67 doesn't print) and shared a huge program library. Despite their price (see below), these models were at the time very popular. To benefit from both program library and popularity, in 1979 the HP-41C was introduced with a magnetic card reader, which made this calculator compatible with the HP-67/97 programs.

Prices
In 1977 : HP-67: $450, HP-97: $750

PHIL BLANCO
Phil Blanco was introduced to the world on April 13, 1979. It took a mere 6 years for him to not only understand his gift, but embrace it. Within that 6th year, he had written his first “rhyme”, which was strongly influenced by rap mogul “LL Cool J.” In that very moment everyone surrounding him knew destiny would lead him into his love of music. Born to a strong willed mother, abandoned by his paternal father, it seemed North Philadelphia would receive the best of him. He accepted huge responsibility within the streets, which is vividly displayed in his craft. The “Street Life” became his greatest promotion, as his peers began to relate to the strife he was forced to endure daily. He felt the streets converted into a studio where watchful eyes lingered upon him for his undoubted abilities. However, those jealous eyes would become his greatest inspiration. Motivated to outlast intense lyrists, he strived to become lyrically resilient; to not only be able to spit what was understood in the streets, but what was understood as knowledge. His smooth transition and educated use of metaphors allowed him to “out” rhyme opponents, while remaining one step above the game. His lyrical capacity brought street notoriety and producer extraordinaire, Don Cannon. Together they created his debut album “Live in the 2-1-5.” This talent, his life, which he crafted into a masterpiece, broke down many barriers in such a short time. Nevertheless, stuffing the pride of peers, many of which came before his time, carried greater risks and encouraged others to seek out revenge. It seemed his Gift evolved into a curse. With all the attention, Phil Blanco received the possibility for him to predict his outcome was dismal. His arrogance and “on top of the world” attitude came to a screeching halt when his numerous ventures with street life captured him, costing him more then just money, but his freedom, as well. Five years had passed before Phil Blanco would make his come back. Mentally and lyrically stronger, he grasped life by the hand and seized the streets by storm. Complete with a new outlook on life and a vow to focus on his first love, all of his free time and energy would be devoted to music. With determination and the sole weight of his fingertips, he discovered how to create and produce his own beats undertaking a new freedom, which he ultimately followed up with his sophomore album titled “Da Calm Before the Storm.” Now, seasoned to the industry, he is approaching the spotlight with a “Grown Man” mentality and a determination that will set anyone’s soul on fire. Although, his music, which has achieved a high most dream of…. recognition, the question he seems to leave everyone asking is “Who is Phil Blanco?” The answer to that is simple, as there is no other title that fits his well crafted persona besides, “The Man, The Myth, The Legend.” For more information on this infamous artist or to hear his latest singles, check out www.myspace.com/philblanco. His newest album can be expected to drop mid summer 2007, with singles such as, “Hustla”, “Leanin’ to the side”, “Fire in my eyes” and “Let’s Go.”

The Bon Mots
The Bon Mots

In 2000, Michigan-bred veterans Mike Coy and Eric Chial, whose groups Big Angry Fish and Mitch recorded for Chicago collective Beluga Records in the ‘90s formed The Bon Mots. They brought in Mike’s long-time drummer Kevin Hoetger, who in turn brought in multi-instrumentalist Chris Frantisak, in Light FM and Urge Overkill at the time, to play keys.

The group recorded their debut le Main Drag in 2002 with Neal Ostrovsky (drummer for The Webb Brothers (Warner UK) at his B-Side Audio studio in Chicago. Following Kevin’s move to Austin, Texas in 2002, Jason Styx hit skins for the group at many shows until Neal took over as the group’s permanent drummer in 2004.

Released in late 2003, le Main Drag received significant national college and commercial radio play. The group’s strong songwriting, mid-sixties informed spooky jangle, and British mod and New Zealand pop influences garnered glowing reviews in SPIN, All Music Guide, Amplifier, Big Takeover, USA Today, Chicago Reader and New City, Portland’s Dagger, F5-Wichita, Copper Press, and the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, among many others.

The Bon Mots have performed on bills with Bob Mould, The Church, The Minders, The Smithereens, Carbon Leaf, The Redwalls, Wheat, The Waco Brothers, and many other great bands, and were invited to play the BMI Stage at Lollapalooza in August 2006.

The group released its second long-player, “Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots” on September 28, 2007. www.thebonmots.com www.myspace.com/thebonmots

Reviews of le Main Drag:

SPIN: If Le Main Drag is any indication, the Bon Mots are one of the most promising new bands out there. Before long, they might have a chart-topping double LP on their hands. Think Spoon with a shot of simmered down Hot Hot Heat and a nod to the Yardbirds to boot.

AMPLIFIER: The promise of effusive melodies and surefire hooks may be the initial lure, but a further listen defies any attempt to easily categorize them as mere revisionists. Theirs is a skewered delivery, an atmospheric, heavily textured ambiance that makes their approach sound slightly somewhat aloof and less embraceable than those they're said to emulate. . . they more accurately resemble bands like The Church and REM, groups that also draw on '60s references but often filter them through a hazy, psychedelic sheen. Droll vocals contribute to this perception. . . there's an understated irony that frequently underscores their bittersweet melodies.

JIM DeROGATIS, THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Appealingly jangly psychedelic/power-pop drawing on the familiar influences of the Byrds and Zombies but rise to the top of this always-overcrowded genre by virtue of its strong songwriting, atmospheric keyboards and the swirling production of its 12-song album..”

JACK RABID, THE BIG TAKEOVER: The New Zealand sound of Flying Nun and circa 1986 British whisper-kiss style is alive, with nods to The Chills, The Bats, Church, Help!-era Beatles meets Squeeze and Elvis Costello.

MONICA KENDRICK, THE CHICAGO READER: A lush, mature, and audacious mix of heady guitar fizz and old old-fashioned pop songwriting – a pinch of Zombies and Kinks here, a dash of The Smiths and The Clean there, a splash of something slightly Soft Boys for spice.”

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: The Bon Mots just may be Chicago's best-kept secret. Lush, dreamy odes, head bopping, hummable numbers, and hazy, jazzy, dark and rumbling tunes cement just how dexterous these guys really are.

TIM HINELY, DAGGER: They take the best part of late 80’s New Zealand Jangle (think Straightjacket Fits) and blend it into their own near-perfect stew. Named as Dagger’s Top “Under the Radar” Record for 2003

F5 WITCHITA’S ALT PRESS: Chicago’s The Bon Mots possess much of the same wry mania that Guided By Voices helped originate; they marry it with the kind of insights that are no doubt lurking behind Rufus Wainwright’s marble-mouthed mumblings.

INDEPENDISC (Record of the Year, 2003): The Bon Mots channel an old-school, New Wavy, Garage, Pop rock that reminds us of The Hollies crossed with The Jam, and sprinkled over with a bit of Squeeze and Elvis Costello and the Attractions.”

Reviews of FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS WITH THE BON MOTS:

CHICAGO READER (Monica Kendrick): People give a lot of lip service to the arsenal of vintage gear this Chicago band has stockpiled. I guess when it takes you four years to release the follow-up to an acclaimed debut, the fans have to find something to talk about. But the new album, Forty Days and Forty Nights With the Bon Mots (Mellifluid), sure was worth the wait. The two principal songwriters, Mike Coy and Eric Chial, deliver 13 songs of sensuous Rickenbacker 12-string and flirtatious organ that sound like they were frozen in amber and polished until they could all but emit their own light. This is a record-release party; Welcome to Ashley opens. Friday, 10 PM, Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, 773-227-4433 or 866-468-3401, $8.

CHICAGOIST (Tankboy): The Bon Mots' profile has long been on the rise, including a spot on last year's Lollapalooza bill, and it seems certain to only climb higher with the release of their sophomore effort Forty Days And Forty Nights With The Bon Mots. Singers/guitarists Mike Coy and Eric Chial again share songwriting duties, alternating spots on the track listing, and again we find ourselves enjoying the way the two men's complementary yet conflicting styles complement each other. Coy tends towards the more straightforward tempos and sunny melodies, while Chial traipses through territory marked by Byrds-ian guitar flourishes and a slightly unbalanced rhythmic delivery that keeps the listener engaged and on their toes. Both men have a severe weak spot for the sugary beauty of pure pop, and both have an uncanny knack for composing songs that make one want to snap their fingers from side-to-side while doing the shimmy-shimmy-shake. The new disc also benefits from the addition of Neal Ostrovsky's solid drumming that manages to swing while still nailing down the beat. His chops help the band get a little grit in there, giving their songs better traction and a more solid presence. The band's secret weapon, though, just might be keyboardist Chris Frantisak. He hides in the background, but his layers of keys and vocal melodies support everything the band does. We're looking forward to seeing all four men replicating the savoir-faire and fine wit of this album at their CD release party this Friday.

CHICAGO NEW CITY (Tom Lynch): For an intoxicating dose of slap-happy, sixties-inspired pop look no further than The Bon Mots' upcoming "Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots," an improvement on the band's debut "le Main Drag" and a fun excursion altogether. Opener "Walk to California" is especially hook-filled, followed by the jangly, smooth "Past or Present," a beach-bum kind of song that makes the most of the band's vocal harmonizing, if only for brief moments. And "On Her Telephone" is pure pop bliss, a bit like what the Lemonheads used to do so god-damn well. An entirely light, enjoyable record from start to back, it's nice to know that The Bon Mots exist in this cruel, cruel world. Tonight the band celebrates the record's release.

DAILY HERALD (Mark Guarino): This is a CD release show to celebrate "Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots," the second album from the Chicago band that, since debuting four years ago, remains one of the area's best-kept secrets. In recent years the band's knack for lush harmonies, big guitar riffs and gauzy psychedelic textures puts them in league with early-era R.E.M. and classic Byrds records. Live, they prove to be more than revisionists, delivering songs just as strong on their own.

www.AVANTCHICAGO.com (Brent Kado): If you were into any facet of indie music in 2004, Le Main Drag by the Bon Mots was an album you most certainly heard or heard someone talking about. The group's debut garnered more ink and college radio play then most band's could wish for in a decade. Spin called the Bon Mots, "one of most promising new bands out there," and the Reader claimed that Le Main Drag was, "a lush, mature, and audacious mix of heady guitar fizz and old-fashioned pop songwriting." From the Sun-Times to USA Today Le Main Drag got stellar marks. Now after almost three years the Bon Mots return with their sophomore release, Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots. The band has expanded their sound with more lush harmonies and deeper instrumentation. Take a listen to Emily's Birds and On Her Telephone on their Myspace page and you'll hear the Sixties style pop wadding in atmospheric haze. And while Forty Days and Forty Nights has yet to go on sale you can get an advance copy Friday at the Hideout and see the Bon Mots and Welcome to Ashley for only $8. See the band (and get their album) that everyone will be buzzing about in a few months from now.

Corbanism refers to living a life modeled after the teachings of Corban, the German-born philosopher of the 1600's (Corban Primer, 1886-2007). Corbanism has often been called a religion, but, due to its lack of specified deity, is more accurately termed a way of life. The adherents of Corbanism are called Corbans and are most notable for being the constituents of what may be the smallest, worldwide cultural sect.

History

Corbanism was created by Corban, a German-born philosopher of the 1600's who moved from Germany to England to China. He spent much of his time comparing European and Chinese ways of life and concluded that whatever one culture could do without was not needed by any culture. For example, Europeans generally held that their was a God that governed the universe and that our eternal salvation is contingent upon doing good works to please Him. However, the concept of the Christian God and of earthly efforts having specific eternal rewards was foreign to the Chinese. As such, Corban concluded that specific spirituality and religion are not absolute requirements for a successful society. In fact, it was Corban's conclusion that religion and spirituality only serve to give the constituents of a society common points of reference and moral doctrines. He proposed that a moral code in combination with recognized observances and rituals would be sufficient to hold a society together. Initially, the teachings of Corban were kept only through oral tradition, but, by the mid-1800's every Corban was responsible for accurately recording the two major works that define Corban practices and doctrine--the Manuscript and the Corban Primer. (The earliest Corban Primer and Manuscript combination with verifiable authenticity was dated 1886 and is now used to evalute all subsequent copies(Summit of the Five, 1921).) However, even though much of Corban doctrine is written down, it is still subject to interpretation and thus different "disciplines" have developed in recent years. Despite this, all Corbans agree with the basic principles of the Manuscript and view themselves as pupils of Corban.

Major Beliefs

Most of Corban doctrine can be summarized in six general principles that are as follows (Manuscript, Chronicle):

Multiple Faces: The belief that it is usually of greater benefit to act differently around different people in order to maximize resources.

Complements: Validation by the approval of another, or that a person's life is meaningless unless another person recognizes the effect of that person's life.

Natural Rights: All persons will do as they see fit and morality only need become an issue when the natural rights of two or more individuals directly interfere one another.

Natural Law: That every result must have a definite cause.

Continual Learning: The belief that self-betterment is best accomplished by a continual state of seeking greater understanding of the world around you.

Implied Sentient Dominance: That since humans are aware of the decision-making process they are responsible for the consequences of those decisions. Also, external factors do not become significant unless they present only a single option. In that case, since there is no decision to make, the sentient being is not the dominant factor in its environment.

Storm 106
Storm 106 was a Pirate radio station broadcasting to the North East of Ireland between 31st January 2002 and September 9th 2006. The station was based in Dundalk, Ireland and broadcast on 106.2MHz from a transmitter located across the border in Forkhill, Northern Ireland The station's policy was to play a genre of Dance Music which could not be heard on other radio stations broadcasting to the area and was especially popular among the 15-34 age group.

Origin
Storm 106 was created by ex presenters from Kiss 106 (a popular radio station in the area in the 1990's), and was originally targeted to service, Louth, Meath, Eastern parts of Cavan and Monaghan and North Co. Dublin. Although the transmitter was located in Northern Ireland, the Studio was always located in Dundalk, and the station seemed to go to great difficulty to avoid being heard in Northern Ireland easily.

Action taken against station
In November 2005 the transmission site was visited by Ofcom and was ordered off the air, with the threat of prosecution to the owners of the transmission site. The station has made comebacks since that time, from a host of transmission sites both north and south of the border and transmissions continued until September 2006 on a regular basis.

Move to Internet Broadcasting
From September 9th 2006 the station is only available on the Internet via the Station's website. The move off FM took place because the stations management were intending to apply for the forthcoming North East youth license subsequently won by I Radio

Current unauthorised FM Relays
Throughout 2007 there have beeen a number of unsanctioned FM relays of the stations Webstream, most recently targetting the Newry, Craigavon and Derry areas. Some of these have been removed by Ofcom/ComReg, however, however as of October 2007 these can still be heard.

October 2007 Name Change
To distance the station from the unofficial FM relays,Storm 106 renamed themselves to nonstopstorm.com on October 1st 2007. The station also dropped all references to 106 on their new web portal as the station's former frequency, 106.2MHz has ironically been allocated to the winner of the North East regional youth license i 104-106FM which is due to commence broadcasting in December 2007
