reitzel It appears that the Reitzels had their origin in Germany. The name goes back hundreds of years.
one famous Reitzel was told to be fighting in the battle Battle of Ceresole on April 11, 1544, he fought as a cavalry captain from Milan . he´s name was Maximillian Reitzel of Ceresole Alba . after the war he did return to germany where the died leaving he´s young wife with 7 children
today many is not spellt Reitzel , but has been changed to Reitzell, Rightsel, Rightsell, Wrightsel, Wrightsell, Ritzel, Ritzell or Reutzel
We do know that language is an ever-changing thing. When priests or pastors of the early Christian churches had to record the names of people, they often went by how people pronounced or spoke a name. Thus these clerks wrote things down the way they heard it, or, as some people say, they wrote it phonetically.
A famous case of Americanizing a name happened when the ancestors of the well known newscaster (now retired) Walter Cronkite arrived in America. Would you believe that their German name was actually Krankheit? Not really a very romantic name when you consider that Krankeit means “illness” in the German language. Thus, KrankHeit totally disappeared in Cronkite. It’s entirely possible that the Krankheit people themselves decided to change the spelling of their name.
According to the present state of research there are five forefathers of the German Reitzels:
1.)Martin Reitzel, Protestant, born 1593, died August 6, 1640. Lived in Kunzelsau. 2.)Johannes Reitzel, Protestant, born 1620, died May 4, 1682. Lived in Habitzheim now called Otzberg. 3.)Christoph Friedrich Reitzel, Protestant, born March 21,1700, died Dec. 14,1779. Lived in Eichstetten. 4.)Johann Ludwig Reitzel, Protestant, born 1701, died March 23, 1755. Lived in Denzlingen. 5.)Johann Raizel, Catholic, born Sept. 19, 1697, died Nove. 17, 1746 From Kirchhausen now Heilbronn.
today you will find Reitzel in mostly western Europe and the U.S. still alive and one of the persons who did a lot of research in the Reitzel is a Georgi Reitzel from germany . A other Reitzel who did a lot of research was the Poul Henrik Harries Maximillian von Reitzel who came from the scandinavian line of Reitzels here some from the scandinavian line. Fritze Marianne Henriks datter von Reitzel, Magnus Henrik von Reitzel, Martin von Reitzel, Jens Ulrik von Reitzel, Baron Torsten von Reitzel,

Infobox Album
]]}}
Superfueled Freaksickle is an album by They Might Be Giants, slated for release in 1997. Originally intended as a follow-up to the rarities compilation Miscellaneous T, the album was cancelled for two primary reasons - all of the songs would've been from previous Elektra releases, and TMBG was leaving the label; and Flansburgh said that the album was not "commercially viable" at the time.
Several bootleg versions of the albums exist, as all of the tracks likely for inclusion have been released in some official form. (Bootlegs also tend to add extraneous tracks - one such boot, inaccurately titled "Superfueled Freakcicle", adds tracks from Severe Tire Damage for instance.)
[edit] Speculative track listing
No official tracklist is known, but this seems to be the most logical, being that the criteria would've been rarities from 1990-1996, and that the tracklist would've most likely been in reverse-chronological order, which was (loosely) applied to Miscellaneous T.
- "We've Got A World That Swings" - 2:01
- "Unforgotten" - 3:05
- "SenSurround" (EP version) - 2:59
- "25 O'Clock" - 4:02
- "Snail Dust" - 3:37
- "Mrs. Train" - 2:58
- "She Was A Hotel Detective" (the 1994 'sequel') - 3:18
- "Ondine" - 2:30
- "Christmas Cards" - 2:32
- "O Tannenbaum" - 2:07
- "Spy" (EP version) - 2:29
- "Whirlpool" - 2:09
- "Jessica" - 2:23
- "Why Does The Sun Shine?" - 2:52
- "Moving To The Sun" - 2:13
- "I Blame You" - 1:50
- "Welcome To The Jungle" - 2:25
- "Larger Than Life" - 4:16
- "Siftin'" - 2:30
- "Cabbagetown" - 2:51
- "One More Parade" - 2:20
- "Ant" (1990 EP version) - 1:51
- "Stormy Pinkness" - 1:08
- "James K. Polk" (1990 EP version) - 3:16
[edit] Song Information
- "James K. Polk" appeared in this form on the 1990 "Istanbul" EP. Six years later, it would be re-recorded for the album Factory Showroom.
- "Ant" appeared in this form on the 1990 "Istanbul" EP. In 2004, it would be re-recorded for the Indestructible Object EP.
- "Larger Than Life" is a very strange remix of "She's Actual Size", created by Joshua Fried. It appeared on the 1992 "I Palindrome I" EP.
- "Spy" appeared in this form on the 1993 "Why Does The Sun Shine" EP. A year later, it would be re-recorded for the album John Henry.
- This album would've marked the only other appearance of "Christmas Cards", which as of yet has only appeared on the vinyl single, "O Tannenbaum." (The track has not even appeared as an MP3 on TMBG Clock Radio.)
- "Snail Dust" is a remix of the track "Snail Shell," created by the Dust Brothers. It originally appeared on the 1994 EP Back to Skull.
- "SenSurround" appeared in this form on the 1996 "S-E-X-X-Y" EP; a very different version appeared on the soundtrack of the Power Rangers movie.

SWADESHI that’s what the great revolutionaries of our nation dreamt and desired for.
They gave their today for our tomorrow. They were hanged till death. But, till their last breath they fought to see the Indian Tri-color flying independently in the sky.
Undoubtedly, we got the freedom.. but are we really independent ? This is the question, which every Indian must ask themselves… and answer would be no !!
Because the idea of Independent India was not just freedom from British Raj But freedom from foreign debts and goods which are burdening us with each passing day..
SWADESHI stands for self-reliant nation. Carrying forward the dreams and desire of our freedom fighters. on 14th February, 1999, we took a step towards making India self reliant by starting Swadeshi Marketing & Retail Trading Co. (I) Pvt. Ltd. in Maharashtra.
The VISION behind SWADESHI is to bring prosperity for every Indian without depending on foreign products or finance. India is one of the biggest democracies in the world with over 100 million population. If every Indian starts using products made in India and by an Indian the change in our own economy would be tremendous. In fact we will export more and import less. Hence providing every Indian more job opportunities and eliminating poverty. India is what every Indian is…the progress of an Indian is the progress of India.
Today Swadeshi Marketing & Retail Trading Co. (I) Pvt. Ltd has proved that we can achieve success by utilizing our own powers. The ever expanding SWADESHI NETWORK in every STATE OF India has brought over Lakhs of MEMBERS under its single roof. Each member’s self progress through Swadeshi is the evidence of our claim. At Swadeshi there is OPPORTUNITY for every Indian.
Swadeshi Marketing is lead by the dynamic visionary Shri. Ramakant Gayakwad as the Managing Director. Also the strong pillars providing support are Shri. Sameer Gayakwad as Director Operations. The development of Opportunity Network is handled by Shri. Vinaykumar Pandhe as Vice President - Development.

[edit] IBUYPOWER
IBUYPOWER
Ibuypower is a custom build computer manufacturer founded in 1996. Associated with American Future Technology Cooperation, both of these companies are located in Los Angeles County. As stated by ibuypower, their’s mission is to provide a complete computing solution to meet the needs of the surrounding community and customers worldwide. Ibuypower’s products include gaming desktops, gaming notebooks, workstations, media center PCs, peripherals, and multimedia products. However, ibuypower’s systems are targeted at the gaming system market, instead of the business and education industry. (1) (2)
Competition Ibuypower’s chief competitor is CyberPower PC. Unlike DELL and other OEM computer manufacturers, Ibuypower does not make any products, but simply purchases other products and custom build their own. The advantage Ibuypower and CyberPower PC has over other computer manufacturers is that Ibuypower allows consumers more customization options and choices.
Prices Ibuypower’s prices are very competitive with what you can find in the DIY market (DELL, HP, GATEWAY), and offers much more customization options. Although there is a small price premium, the many more customization options available make up for this.

[edit] Rattail Grenadier
Rattail Grenadier was founded in 1984 by Mass Giorgini (bassist) and Flav Giorgini (guitarist). They began as a three-piece, with drummer Steve Best filling out the line-up, and Flav and Mass sharing lead vocal duties. They soon added second guitarist Kevin Galbraith, and by the end of their first month of active existence had added drummer Dan Lumley, with Steve Best moving to the role of lead vocalist. By 1986, the band had returned to being a trio, with Flav and Mass sharing lead vocals, and Dan Lumley retaining the drumming position. In May of 1996, Rattail Grenadier released a self-produced full-length album entitled Three Blind, featuring cover art by Kevin Neireiter (interestingly, Squirtgun's Fade to Bright album of 2003 featured Mass, Flav, and Dan as band members, with cover art by Kevin Neireiter).
Coinciding with this release, Rattail Grenadier began performing more shows outside of their home region, performing with internationally recognized punk acts such as Toxic Reasons, Rollins Band, Dag Nasty, the Zero Boys, Naked Raygun, Material Issue, and many more. In late 1988, Roadkill Records released the self-titled Rattail Grenadier (Produced by Paul Mahern, best known for his work with John Mellencamp and Iggy Pop), and exposed the band -- again a quartet with Steve Best on lead vocals -- to an international punk audience.
Simultaneous label releases of albums by the Bhopal Stiffs and Screeching Weasel turned the label into an immediate phenomenon in the punk scene, and were followed by several more by bands such as No Empathy, Sludgeworth, the Effigies, and Sloppy Seconds. Several tours followed, including one that included a headlining spot at seminal punk venue CBGB's in 1989.
In 1990, Steve Best was replaced by singer Rick Harris and the melodic hardcore sound of the band began to lean a bit closer to its hardcore element, leading many critics to consider it a "crossover" band -- a name applied frequently during that period to bands combining the frantic pace of hardcore punk with the heavier breakdowns and drum beats typical of the recently developed speed metal genre.
In 1991, now signed to Assault Force/Helter Skelter, the band released Too Much of a Good Thing. More touring followed, but the band primarily played in the Midwest, due to the academic obligations of its members. In 1992, singer Rick Harris left the band in order to pursue a PhD in Biology at UC Berkeley. He was replaced by Quentin Flory, formerly of PED, a reknowned New Jersey hardcore band of the period.
The sound of the band developed dramatically during this period, with heavy influence from several simultaneous and divergent sources. The strongest of these influences was that of the melodic punk rock typical of punk's (and Rattail Grenadier's) earlier years.
The band released two songs with Quentin Flory, the first a contribution to a regional compilation, and also featured a guest appearance on lead guitar by John Strohm of the Lemonheads, was titled "Highest Tree." The second, "Come on Back," was included on, PUNK USA, a Lookout Records compilation organized by Screeching Weasel frontman Ben Weasel.
The band was in the process of recording a new album, with fifth member Matt Hart sharing second guitar and co-lead vocal duties, when Mass and Flav's father, Aldo, was diagnosed with brain cancer, putting a halt to the plans of the band. When the album was eventually completed, Quentin had left the band, and the remaining members decided to rename the group, especially in light of their marked sonic shift, a decided return to their earliest roots, reflecting the influence of bands such as the Ramones, the Buzzcocks, the Zero Boys, and the Clash. This album eventually became Squirtgun's debut self-titled album, issued by Lookout Records, and including the song "Social," which was featured as the opening track to 1995's Kevin Smith film Mallrats, now a cult-classic.
