Al Capone's Other Vault

Discovered by a local construction crew while renovating the basement of a historic Chicago building, Al Capone's Other Vault is scheduled to be opened live, at 3:00 p.m. CST, November 20, 2007, during an exclusive webcast at Capone's Other Vault.

Visitors to the website will find information on how the vault was discovered, a documentary, interviews, news and updates, a countdown timer, and a live 24/7 "Vault-Cam."

Stepping up to produce this major webcast is a surprising local upstart, Premier Best Video Productions. An anonymous source cited the failure to discover anything inside the first Capone vault as the reason why no major broadcast network partner could be secured.

According to producer, Aaron Howell, it was fate that his small employer was able to secure the rights to Capone's vault, a topic close to his heart. "Growing up near the Detroit-Windsor border, I heard all the old stories about the bootleggers and Al Capone," Howell said. "As soon as I was tipped off about the vault finding, I pushed really hard to get the rights. I knew we had a chance, because the major networks wouldn't want to air this after what happened the last time around. I'm pretty confident things will be different this time. I can't wait to see what's inside!"

Prime Cut

When Chicago Outfit associates turn up dead at the hands of a ruthless businessman (Gene Hackman), a mob enforcer (Lee Marvin) is sent down to Kansas to investigate the incidents. What he finds is a man who is turning a seemingly idyllic town into a seething underbelly of corruption: drugs, bootlegging, and female sexual slavery. The very man responsible for the murders is someone who won't stand down and pay a long standing debt that turned those looking for it, dead. The last unfortunate person to do so was ground into sausage, a nasty business run by that man who specializes in cattle. What occurs is a gang war between the men who now dominate this farm locale with an iron fist, and the men trying to put closure on an escalating situation.

Mafia Ten Commandments

The Mafia's Ten Commandments have been found after police arrested a top Godfather in Sicily.

Under the secret Cosa Nostra code of conduct, the so-called "men of honor" must avoid bars, other gangsters' wives and girlfriends and be on time.

The list of rules emerged from documents seized after the arrest of Salvatore Lo Piccolo, 65, at a secret mob meeting in Palermo, along with his son Sandro, 32, and two other godfathers.

The 10 'Mafiosi' commandments are:

1. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.

2. Never look at the wives of friends.

3. Never be seen with cops.

4. Don't go to pubs and clubs.

5. Always be available for Cosa Nostra, even if your wife's about to give birth.

6. Appointments must be respected.

7. Wives must be treated with respect.

8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.

9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.

10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra are anyone with a close relative in the police, with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.
