Dantakistan is an imaginary country that was founded on December 28, 2007. It was made by an unknown person.
The founder wanted to make a Constitutional Monarchy, with himself as the king. The king has a website.
The website kinda goes through the nation briefly and the creator tells about himself. The country has
made humorous claims to own numerous planets and galaxies. The country is considered a micronation.
The parliament of the nation is unknown. The king claims to also live in a castle. Dantakistan is said
to be many miles east of nowhere. This claim is probably untrue.

B-Boy Records
B-Boy Records was an important independent hip hop record label formed by Jack Allen and Bill Kamarra in in 1986. Their first release was "South Bronx" by Boogie Down Productions—most famous of the acts associated with the label. B-Boy Records were known primarily for releasing noisy, minimalist hip hop driven by the drum machine rather than the sampler: The Brothers' "I Got Rhythm", Wax Master Torey's "Duck Season", Jewel T's "I Like It Loud" and Levi 167's "Something Fresh to Swing To" (all 1987) are examples. By contrast, the same year's "Just Saying Fresh Rhymes" by Castle D relies on a relatively quiet percussive accompaniment based around the hi-hat, and a disorienting synth melody reminiscent today of G-funk.
Other 1987 releases include The Busy Boys' "Classical", "Feel The Horns" by old school pioneers Cold Crush Brothers, and Sparky D's "Throwdown".
After their first album Criminal Minded, Boogie Down Productions left for Warner Brothers and the label folded soon after. According to writer Peter Shapiro, B-Boy's best release besides those by Boogie Down was Levi 167's aforementioned 1987 single. They did however have late success with "Strong Island" (1988) by JVC Force, which Shapiro calls "one of the most kinetic records in hip-hop history".
A 2002 retrospective of the label, The Best of B-Boy Records, is available on Landspeed Records (not to be confused with Boogie Down Productions' 2001 compilation, Best of B-Boy Records, on the same label).

Gianfranco Pieri or Franco, is a college freshman from Wantagh, New York. He has a funny shaped head and can often be found pooping in the back of limos and making fun of Salvatore Manteria. Franco can not read, however he can write, but his writing comes out as a very complex form of hieroglyphics, not unlike chicken scratch. Also Franco is a homosexual male, who, despite his facebook profile, is seeking a man to spend the rest of his life with. Franco likes putting balls on his face. Oh, also he's a robot.

Pumpkin (musician)
Pumpkin (sometimes credited as Eroll Bedward) was the musician, percussionist and band leader behind many old school hip hop tracks for the Profile, Enjoy, and Tuff City record companies.
He worked with several important early hip hop acts from 1979 to 1984, such as Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Funky Four, Grandmaster Caz, Fearless Four, and Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, as well as a host of more obscure names. His own "King of the Beat" (Profile, 1983) was followed by one of his last productions, Pumpkin And The Profile All-Stars' "Here Comes the Beat" (Profile, 1984).
In the words of writer David Toop, "In the early days of rap on wax, it was musicians such as Pumpkin ... who defined a new musical style."
A collection of his work for Tuff City was released under his stage name in 1995 as The Tuff City Sessions on the retrospective label Old School Flava.

According to Spybot: Search and Destroy, Premium Search is a trojan horse virus that "gets installed in background and registers itself to the system start and winlogon. It has multiple exe files and dlls with variable names running in background which protect each other and connect to the internet in background. The hosts file gets hijacked and all search sites for example from yahoo, google and msn are getting redirected to PremiumSearch. The computer gets slowed down and the security settings get compromised. The trojan horse also uses rootkit functionality to hide some of its parts. Removal of this trojan horse will require a reboot.

CROOKED TIMBER is a two-man acoustic band (comprising Scott Ryan and Rob Maloni) that makes its music with such traditional and world instruments as guitars, bass, mandolins and djembe. The result is a pleasing, original acoustic sound with a variety of influences including folk, rock, bluegrass and country. Rounding out the songs are clever, thoughtful and sometimes cheeky lyrics that repay close and repeated listening. (The band's name, by the way, comes from a line attributed to philosopher Immanuel Kant: Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.) Scott and Rob met in early 2005 and found that their individual styles meshed quite nicely and that their vocals blended well also. The band currently has only one album to it's name, "I Don't Mind If It Rains A Little", however they have made a definite impact in the music community as evidenced by their rise to #2 (Folk) on the Indie Charts web site as well as their airplay on WKSU's (Kent State, Ohio) Folk Alley.com. and their appearance on New Music Label's Country charts (#8 with "Hey, Now").
ON SCOTT RYAN
Scott has played various musical instruments since 1970 and the guitar since 1973. He has performed solo and in numerous bands spanning the last three decades, including Slumpuppy in the Kent/Akron area, and Gaan on Long Island and New York City. Scott blesses Crooked Timber with his lead vocals and incredibly intricate guitar work as the band's front man now. He is also responsible for the mindblowing lyrics found on just about every Crooked Timber song.
ON ROB MALONI
Rob began his musical career with a guitar in 1975 and has been in a number of bands since that time,including the Cotton Gin Band out of Northeastern Pennsylvania and with Three Friends in Scranton, PA. Rob provides rhythm guitar, bass, background vocals (with a few exceptions where he takes the front man job over from fellow Timber member, Scott), and percussion on a few songs for Crooked Timber.

The Amsterdam Mohawks are an NYCBL summer league wooden bat team located in Upstate New York. One of the top franchises in the league, the Mohawks import some of the best collegiate talent in the country to come and play ball at beautiful, historic Shuttleworth Park, in Amsterdam, NY.
History
The New York Collegiate Baseball League is a fourteen team summer league played throughout upstate New York. In addition to Amsterdam, the NYCBL consists of teams located in Bolivar, Wellsville, Watertown, Geneva, Hornell, Little Falls, Rochester, Glens Falls, Saratoga and Bennington, VT. Split into two divisions, an Eastern and a Western, the NYCBL is a member of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball. The league is one of the elite wood bat summer leagues that is sponsored by Major League Baseball. To be eligible to play in the NYCBL, a player must have completed at least one year of college and must still have at least one year of playing eligibility remaining. He must also be enrolled full-time at a college or university. Beginning in early June, each team in the league will play a 42 game schedule, which will wind down at the end of July.
The Mohawks, who were located in Schenectady prior to 2003, have won championships in 1988 under then head coach, and also former team owner/president Bob Bellizzi, again in 2003 under Bill Consiglio and again in 2004 under Nicholas Enriquez. In 2002, Dave Fields, led the team to a regular season title but lost the deciding game of the championship series to the Hornell Dodgers. Again in 2005, John Thomson guided the Mohawks to a regular season crown but was eliminated in the playoffs. In addition, there have been over 80 former Mohawks who have signed professional baseball contracts, including Houston Astros phenom Hunter Pence (Texas-Arlington) who played for the Mohawks in 2002, Brendan Harris (William and Mary) of the Minnesota Twins, Valentino Pascucci (U. Of Oklahoma) who is currently playing AAA ball for the New Orleans Zephyrs, an affiliate of the New York Mets, and Tim Christman (Siena) who played major league ball with the Colorado Rockies.
The Mohawks have grown into one of the top places to play summer baseball in America. The players will note that the game atmosphere at Shuttleworth Park is the best in the NYCBL and with large enthusiastic crowds and getting the kids involved, after seeing a game, you would see their point.
The league will continue to have current college stars and future professional players in it. Make sure you come out to the ballpark to catch some of the exciting brand of baseball that they have to offer. See you at the game!!!

He received the Steve Lembo Award from the New York Professional Hot Stove League and was the recipient of a gold pass from the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues.
Previous Owner
Team President Bob Bellizzi, who passed away May 7, 2006, had been involved with college baseball for over twenty-five years and believed that Amsterdam was a perfect match for the Mohawks and the NYCBL. Before his passing he was thrilled with the success that the Mohawks had in their seasons in Amsterdam. "The combination of a sports minded city and an operator (Brian Spagnola) who was born and raised in Amsterdam, makes this a great place to play summer baseball...it was our intention to bring a quality level of collegiate baseball to Shuttleworth Park and provide entertainment and excitement throughout the season and that is what we did...the sense of cooperation and support exhibited by the community only confirmed our belief that Amsterdam was the ideal home for the Mohawk Baseball Club..."
Bellizzi, the head coach at The College of Saint Rose from 1978 until his passing, had over the past quarter century, developed the Golden Knights into a national powerhouse at the NCAA Division II level. Saint Rose had made the NCAA Northeast Division II Regionals in 1994, 1995, 1997, and 2000. His 2000 team reached their ultimate goal by advancing to the NCAA Division II World Series in Montgomery, Alabama. Prior to that, at the NAIA level, Saint Rose made regional appearances in 1990 and 1991 and went to the 1990 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
Bellizzi boasted a staggering career record of 720-367-2 at Saint Rose and has enjoyed success at the club, NAIA, and NCAA levels. He had dozens of Saint Rose players continue their baseball careers at the professional level, including 1993 grad Glen Barker, who played for the Houston Astros at the major league level from 1999-2001. From 1988-1990, Bellizzi also guided the Schenectady Mohawks to a remarkable
New Ownership and Staff
Brian Spagnola has been president and general manager of the Amsterdam Mohawks since 2003. As a lifelong Amsterdam resident, he has dedicated himself to making Shuttleworth Park into a top venue for baseball in the area. "We have had tremendous support here in Amsterdam. The local media, politicians, and community as a whole gave us a great deal of assistance in helping to achieve what we did. We have only just begun, however, in the process of updating Shuttleworth Park. It is a thrill for me to cotinue to see Shuttleworth Park completely filled with fans, enjoying a great baseball game."
As a result of his vast coaching experiences at the collegiate level, Spagnola is familiar with the level of play along with the duties and responsibilities of running a quality collegiate program. He has served as an assistant coach under Bob Bellizzi at The College of Saint Rose from 1991 to 2003 and also was the head coach of the Schenectady Mohawks from 1991-1993. In that time, he posted a 63-57 coaching record. His 1991 team had on it eight players who later went on to play professional baseball. He also served as an assistant coach with the Mohawks 1990 and 1994. He is currently the second winningest coach in Mohawk history. In 2003, he stepped away from Saint Rose to become the head coach at his alma mater, Amsterdam High School, where in just a few short years he has turned the program into one of the finest in the areas and has made Amsterdam baseball a giant success with drawing regular crowds of over 300 fans per game.
David Dittman, CEO, joined the Mohawks in 2007 and in one short season was instrumental in helping double attendance figures and create a more business friendly environment with the Mohawks organization. Dittmann previously owned the Newport Gulls and helped start of Vermont Mountaineers of the New England Collegiate Baseball League where he was instrumental in the success of both teams. He also owned the Peninsula Pilots of the Coastal Plains League. All three of these teams have led their respective leagus in attendance during Dittmann's tenure.
Earlier, Dittmann owned an array of minor league team baseball teams, including the New Haven Ravens AA team. He grew up around baseball as his father was the corporate attorney for the Philadelphia Phillies for years.
In January 2007, he climbed Mt. Kilamanjaro and in 2008 he plans to also climb Mt. Everest.
Drew Pearce was an assistant coach for the Mohawks in 2007 and was hired to help run the day to day operations of the team. He is the team's first full time employee and will involved in marketing and sales with the team as well as performing many other tasks.
Pearce is a California native and played baseball at the University of California where he was a pitcher.

First Priority Music
First Priority Music was an important hip hop label of the late 1980s and early 1990s which has diversified and found success in recent years with releases in contemporary R&B and country music genres, among others. A small independent, it formed successful distribution relationships first with Atlantic Records, and latterly with Jive/Zomba. Its most well-known artists from both eras are hip hop acts Audio Two and MC Lyte, and singers Eamon and Jason Downs.
First Priority was founded by Nat Robinson in 1987, to release music by his son Kirk and his daughter Lana, better known as Milk Dee of Audio Two, and MC Lyte, respectively. FPM's first release was Audio Two's "Make It Funky"/"Top Billin'", which was successful enough to secure the label a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. The subsequent re-release of "Top Billin'" was a hip hop hit of lasting impact. MC Lyte's debut album Lyte as a Rock (1988) was another success, and is today widely regarded as a classic release. It was followed by her well-received records, Eyes on This (1989) and Act Like You Know (1991). "Ruffneck", from 1993's Ain't No Other, was the first gold single by a solo female rap artist. Other members of the hip hop roster of the period include Positive K, Michie Mee, Alliance, Kings Of Swing, and Barsha. A sampler featuring these artists, The First Priority Music Family: Basement Flavor, was released by First Priority Music in 1990.
Recent years saw releases by Jason Downs, and the hugely successful 2004 single by Eamon, "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)", released through Jive/Zomba.

Q: What causes the sound of your pulse to be heard in your ears?
A: This is known as pulsating, pulsatile or vascular tinnitus. Here is a list of the possible causes of pulsatile tinnitus:
1. Chronic inflammation and/or infection of the middle ear. Chronic inflammation is almost always accompanied by increased blood flow to the inflamed tissue; since this tissue is in the ear, some people are able to hear the increase in blood flow.
2. Eustachian tube dysfunction. For reasons which are unclear to me, ETD can sometimes result in pulsating tinnitus.
3. Middle ear effusion (fluid.) The middle ear is normally an air-filled space. If, due to infection, inflammation or Eustachian tube dysfunction fluid accumulates behind the middle ear, pulsating tinnitus may result. It would be accompanied by decreased hearing and a pressure sensation, and may also be accompanied by pain. Treatment may be medical (with antibiotics, decongestants, nasal steroid sprays and so forth) or surgical.
4. Vascular tumors. Such tumors in the middle ear go by a variety of names, but are most commonly referred to as glomus tumors or paragangliomas. They are benign (not cancerous), but due to their location and vigorous blood supply, they can be very troublesome. Treatment is surgical.
5. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs.) AVMs are abnormal collections of arteries and veins that sometimes occur within the cranial cavity near the auditory nerve. AVM pulsation against the auditory nerve stimulates the nerve, resulting in a pulsating tinnitus. AVMs can also occur outside of the cranial cavity. AVMs can develop as a result of trauma, but can also occur due to abnormal development in the womb– the individual is born with a small AVM which enlarges later in life. Treatment is usually surgical.
6. Carotid artery-cavernous sinus fistula. A fistula is an abnormal connection; thus, carotid artery-cavernous sinus fistula is an abnormal connection between a very large artery and a very large venous "lake" (not really a "sinus" in the sense of facial sinuses) within the cranial cavity. It is usually the result of severe head trauma. Treatment is nonsurgical, requiring the services of an interventional radiologist.
7. Venous hum. Patients who are pregnant, anemic, or have thyroid problems may develop increased blood flow through the largest vein in the neck, the jugular vein. The jugular vein carries blood from the brain back to the heart; in so doing, it traverses the middle ear. Turbulent blood flow anywhere in the course of the jugular vein can be heard in the middle ear as a "hum" which may or may not fluctuate with the pulse. Correction or resolution of the underlying problem often results in improvement.
There are other, less common, causes of vascular tinnitus, but these are the "biggies." I recommend that you see an ear, nose and throat specialist for a comprehensive evaluation, because (as you can see from this list) many of the possible explanations are NOT trivial!

The Conversation Heart was an American power poprock band from Seattle, Washington that formed in 2004. The band's sound was a mix of punk–influenced power pop with vocal harmonies and heavy guitar riffs. They are known for their song, "Perfect Cheekbones" which had a music video that was featured in most department stores in America during the last few months of 2004. The Conversation Heart released one formal album entitled "Grenadine" in early 2005. The band continued to record demos and leak them online until they eventually broke up in 2006. All members have gone on to be involved in other musical acts, such as the Hungry Pines, Stereo Heartbeat, GhostRockIt, The Pop Machine, Dateless and 123 Fake Street.

Kage 21 is a band from upstate New York (the town itself is unknown) that is quickly making a name for themselves. The band consists of three people: Bryan Sibbitts, Mike Shirtz, and Josh Straight. Mike and Josh are the guitarists, Mike being the lead and Josh being ryhthm, and occasionally switching over to bass for instrumental diversity and to establish a barrier between ryhthmic sound and melodic "riffage."
Just recently a post was made on their myspace referencing to a few upcoming shows. They've recently posted new videos, two of which being covers of Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl." It has been reported that Kage 21 may have played a show with a few local bands in the city of Watertown. Their original area of residence is unknown to the public, but it assumed it is based somewhere in Syracuse
Their bio from their myspace is as follows:
Beginning with an idea, Kage 21 was thrown together with the hopes of playing and writing music that people will like. Starting as a Blink 182 tribute band, kage 21 has taken this idea and expanded, not only doing covers, but writing original music.
Though resources available to them are low, they use what they have and use it effectively. They are quickly updating their current media and aim to get the perfect quality sound and video.
From their minds and to our ears, Joshua Strate, Mike Shirtz, and Bryan Sibbitts have created an entity that serves one purpose: To rock out like there is no tomorrow.

...was the title of the "actual" debut full-lenght album by the North Carolina post-hardcore band Beloved (US). It was released independently and sold exclusively at thier concerts. While most people consider "The Running" to be their first album, this is actually thier first true release.
History
The original members of the Beloved were Joe Musten (drums/vocals), Shawn Dallas (guitar), Dusty Redmon (guitar) and John Brehm (bass guitar). They all attended East Forsyth High School in Kernersville, NC from 1996-2000.
Everyone in the band had a WIDE variety of influences... from Classic Rock to Hardcore/Metal, and Punk/Rockabilly to the now hated "EMO", they set out to redefine the local music scene. (which had dwindled some since the heday of the Swift and Codeseven scene)
What made Beloved so unique was thier ability to perfectly combine Emo/Indie (very up-and-coming at the time) and Hardcore.
Josh Moore actually did not appear on thier first demo cassete tape. Joe Musten used to play drums and do vocals. They asked Josh to join the band a few months later and proceeded to record a second demo tape. They had a "release concert" at First Christian Church located in Kernersville, NC. The tape sold very well so they decided to record a full lenght including newly recorded versions of the 4 tracks that appeared on the demo tapes. The demo tapes included the songs
The long-awaited album was finally released in the summer of 2000. Jamie King (of Swift) recorded the album at his studio "The Basement" in King, NC.
There is a "bonus/goof" track at the end of the last track. (fast forward some ways into) It is rumored that John (their bassist) wrote the bulk of this little diddy. The only "vocals" on the hidden track are of the band members making strange noises into modulators with effects.
The album was released only once. Best guess, there were maybe 1000 copies ever made.
To many fans, THIS was their greatest release to date. In the months after it's release, Shawn Dallas was asked to leave the band and was replaced by Matt Harrison (a long-time friend of the other members). The band (and their sound) was never the same again (for better or worse).

Shawn Dallas went on to play in several bands after Beloved. Korea saw some success before disbanding and reforming as Monday In London; however, Shawn did not return. He relocated to High Point. His next musical endeavor came nearly 5 years after leaving Beloved. He joined a short-lived band with Drew Fulk, Michael Whitaker and Kyle Laster, called The Actor And The Son. They later reformed with a different drummer (Jordan McGee replacing Michael Whitaker) called Anadora. That too was short-lived, but made way for a bigger project, "Yosemite Mudflap And The Fireball Wizards". They released an album "Slaughter" on Tragic Hero Records in the summer of 2007. Shawn left the band shortly after to pursue other interests. He now resides in Kernersville. He co-owns a clothing company cattered exclusively to the "drifting" scene called Driftstar Apparel with graphic designer Michael Whitaker. ( www.DriftstarApparel.com )
In the coming years after Shawn departed, John Brehm too was asked to leave the band (shortly after the original release of "The Running"). He was replaced by bassist Mitch Britt. Mitch left the band a few months later to pursue other interests and the band asked Johnny Smrdel to join. Brehm went on to play bass in the band Monday In London (now defunct) and toured for 3 years. He released a full lenght album and an e.p. with them. He then joined Dead Poetic (now defunct) and toured for 2 years. He released 1 full lenght album with them before the band abruptly disbanded in late 2006. He currently resides in Kernersville as a tattoo artist for Ink Well tattoos in Winston-Salem, NC. He also has a clothing company called OMBIE. ( www.OMBIE.bigcartel.com )
