[edit] Jump Shift
The jump shift is a dance move popular with jazz, funk, modern, hip hop, and club freestyle dances. The name is deceiving as there is no actual jumping. Rather there is a shift from one side to the next while the knees simaltenously bend. Most dancers add arm movements to make the move more playful. Generally, the jump shift is a funky move that incroprates a little bounce to any step.

[edit] Nightclub Freestyle
Nightclub Freestyle is a new form of dancing that encompasses grinding, freak dancing, hip hop, house, and funk dance styles. Most commonly referred to as simply social dancing, Nightclub Freestyle has evolved dramatically from tap to swing to disco to house to grinding and hip hop. Very different from the nightclub two step, nightclub freestyle consists of dancing very closely with a partner, often linking legs and hips to bounce together to the beat. There are several variations to the way this can be done. Nightclub Freestyle also refers to the dancing partners do once they are no longer touching but are dancing less than one foot apart. Movements are still done in quasi-unison. The major difference between this style of dance and hip hop is there is no popping and locking and the movements are confined to a very small space.

[edit] Dominique MERLET
Template:Afc reviewing Dominique MERLET (b. Bordeaux, 18 Feb. 1938) is a French pianist and professor. His teachers include Jean-Jules Roger-Ducasse, Rose Lejour, Jean Doyen, Nadia Boulanger and Louis Hiltbrand. After obtaining three “1st Prize” at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, he became the winner of the prestigious Geneva International Competition (together with Martha Argerich) in 1957 as well as the special prize awarded to the most accomplished laureate of all disciplines on the programme that year. His performing career has taken him around the world in collaboration with noted conductors such as Charles Münch, Paul Paray, Armin Jordan, Sergiu Comissiona and Richard Hickox. He played in most European countries as well as the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, Australia and Japan and took part in many important festivals such as Paris, Berlin, Bordeaux, Hong Kong, Besançon, La Roque d' Anthéron and Duszniki. Some of Merlet’s many recordings won distinctions such as "Grand Prix du Disque" and "Diapason d'Or". He enjoys sharing performances with his friends (quartet or quintet) and has recorded Beethoven's complete Sonatas for piano and violin with Gérard Poulet. A return to facsimile manuscripts for interpretative matters brings a rare element of authenticity to his own performances and master classes. In parallel to being a concert pianist, Dominique Merlet has participated intensely in producing great pianists of tomorrow and has a splendid legacy of students who themselves are laureates of major piano competitions (Leeds, Marguerite Long, Tokyo, Gina Bachauer, Dublin, Geneva, Shanghai, Warsaw, Cleveland, etc.). From 1974 to 1992, he was professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris. In 1992, the Geneva Conservatory entrusts him with the famous "Classe de virtuosité" created by Liszt which is reserved for a selection of pianists who are preparing for a solo career. He decides to cease this activity in 2004 in order to fully concentrate on his concert performances. Dominique Merlet’s worldwide lectures and masterclasses have brought him to Germany, Austria, Australia, England, China, Japan, South Korea, Holland, Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries. He also frequently participates at international piano juries (Warsaw, Leeds, Vienna, Dublin, Tokyo, Munich, Cleveland, Shanghai and others). Merlet is an Honorary President of EPTA as well as President of the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Foundation. His impressive accomplishments have been rewarded by the French Ministry of Culture with the title of “Officier des Arts et des Lettres”.

[edit] William Butterworth
William Butterworth served as both President and Chairman of Deere & Company. Butterworth was born in Ohio, graduated from Lehigh University and studied law at the National University in Washington D.C. In 1892 Butteworth married Katherine Deere, daughter of Charles Deere. He joined Deere & Company the same year as an assistant buyer. In 1897 he was elected treasurer, and became president after the death of Charles Deere in 1907. Deere & Company underwent many changes during Butterworth's tenure. In 1910 the board of directors reorganized the company's factories into one unified entity, giving birth to the modern Deere & Company. In 1912 Deere began manufacturing combine harvesters. In 1918 the company purchased Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company and the rights to produce their tractors. Butterworth also implemented a pension system and a benefit and disability program for Deere & Company's employees. Butterworth retired in 1928 and became the first Chairman of Deere & Company's board, a position he held until his death in 1936.

[edit] Trophymanager
You manage a clubs players, tactics, training, finances, staff etc. A quick newbie guide follows: 1) Register your club, read the manual. 2) See what qualities your players have. 3) Choose your tactics according to your players. 4) Choose if you want to build your club with exixting players, bought players or through at training programme. The layout is clearly better that Hattrick and Managerzone. The match engine seems more complex, but is predictable to some extent. However the random element is somewhat bigger than the others leading to some surprising results.

[edit] Cheap Calls
The access numbers can be used for calls from home, for calls from your mobile device or for calls from businesses and coin/card operated call boxes. They do not differentiate between these. Different companies specialise in different types of international phone call deals, which means that the cheap long distance call plan that works for one country won't necessarily work for another. How to make cheap calls from your landline using an instant dial service: For example to make a call to Ireland: dial the access telephone number, dial the country code, then dial your destination telephone number 00353 123 456789 How to make cheap calls from your mobile using an instant dial service: From the UK, most instant dial access numbers start with 0844, 0870, 0871, 0905, 0906 and 0911. These numbers can attract charges based on the time of the day (some are the same rate all day every day). Some charge a nominal £0.03 connection fee but many charge that rate per minute in addition to the instant dial company. Instant dial services frequently update their rates there-by making it important to get a view on rates across the market before calling.

Having brought contemporary art into London's style magazines and popular culture in the heyday of Britain's YBA movement through his time at 'Dazed & Confused' magazine in the late '90s (working with Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Steven Pippin, Jane and Louise Wilson and Sophie Calle) and as Arts Editor at Booth–Clibborn Editions (commissioning and editing monographs on and with Sam Taylor Wood, Rachel Whiteread, Mike Figgis, Alice Springs and Nigel Coates), Roger Tatley turned his attention to redefining what a mainstream art magazine might be as the Editor in Chief of 'Modern Painters', (a post he was invited to consider by James Truman, former editorial director of Conde Nast) just over a year and a half ago. As the youngest editor to be appointed at the helm of a major specialist art magazine, and the magazine's first editor since its move to New York City, Tatley has collaborated with artists (Matthew Barney, Richard Prince, Roni Horn, Gabriel Orozco, Anselm Kiefer, Rodney Graham, Joan Jonas, Andreas Gursky, and Robert Gober), curators (Nancy Spector, Paul Schimmel, Matthew Higgs, Ralph Rugoff and Elisabeth Sussman), writers (Vince Aletti, Jerry Saltz, Matthew Collings, Arthur Danto, Adrian Searle, Sarah Kent and Jeremy Millar), and commissioned photographers (Roe Ethridge, Jack Pierson, Jason Schmidt, and Dana Lixenberg) to create an art magazine that is navigable and accessible beyond the immediate reaches of the artworld.

[edit] Control of Hazardous Energy
[edit] IntroductionControl of hazardous energy commonly referred to as Lockout Tagout, Lock and tag, or Tag and try refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities[1]. This requires, in part, that a designated individual turns off and disconnects the machinery or equipment from its energy source(s) before performing service or maintenance and that the authorized employee(s) either lock or tag the energy-isolating device(s) to prevent the release of hazardous energy and take steps to verify that the energy has been isolated effectively. If the potential exists for the release of hazardous stored energy or for the reaccumulation of stored energy to a hazardous level, the employer must ensure that the employee(s) take steps to prevent injury that may result from the release of the stored energy. Lockout devices hold energy-isolation devices in a safe or “off” position. They provide protection by preventing machines or equipment from becoming energized because they are positive restraints that no one can remove without a key or other unlocking mechanism, or through extraordinary means, such as bolt cutters. Tagout devices, by contrast, are prominent warning devices that an authorized employee fastens to energy-isolating devices to warn employees not to reenergize the machine while he or she services or maintains it. Tagout devices are easier to remove and, by themselves, provide employees with less protection than do lockout devices. [edit] Lockout-Tagout Injury PreventionEmployees can be seriously or fatally injured if machinery they service or maintain unexpectedly energizes, starts up, or releases stored energy. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s standard on the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout-Tagout), found in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147, spells out the steps employers must take to prevent accidents associated with hazardous energy. The standard addresses practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery and prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance or servicing activities are performed. Two other Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards also contain energy control provisions: 29 CFR 1910.269 and 1910.333. In addition, some standards relating to specific types of machinery contain deenergization requirements such as 29 CFR 1910.179(l)(2)(i)(c)(requiring the switches to be “open and locked in the open position” before performing preventive maintenance on overhead and gantry cranes)[2]. The provisions of Part 1910.147 apply in conjunction with these machine-specific standards to assure that employees will be adequately protected against hazardous energy. [edit] ComplianceIf your employees service or maintain machines where the unexpected startup, energization, or the release of stored energy could cause injury, the standard likely applies to you. The standard applies to all sources of energy, including, but not limited to: mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal energy. The standard does not cover electrical hazards from work on, near, or with conductors or equipment in electric utilization (premise wiring) installations, which are outlined by Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910. You can find the specific lockout and tagout provisions for electrical shock and burn hazards in 29 CFR Part 1910.333. Controlling hazardous energy in installations for the exclusive purpose of power generation, transmission, and distribution, including related equipment for communication or metering, is covered by 29 CFR 1910.269. The standard also does not cover the agriculture, construction, and maritime industries or oil and gas well drilling and servicing. Other standards concerning the control of hazardous energy, however, apply in many of these industries and situations.
The standard does not apply to general industry service and maintenance activities in the following situations, when:
[edit] Standard ApplicationThe standard applies to the control of hazardous energy when employees are involved in service or maintenance activities such as constructing, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, and maintaining or servicing machines or equipment. These activities include lubricating, cleaning or unjamming machines, and making adjustments or tool changes, where the employees may be exposed to hazardous energy. If a service or maintenance activity is part of the normal production operation, the employee performing the servicing may be subjected to hazards not normally associated with the production operation itself. Although machine guarding provisions in Subpart O of 29 CFR 1910 cover most normal production operations, workers doing service or maintenance activities during normal production operations must follow lockout-tagout procedures if they:
Work involving minor tool changes and adjustments or other minor servicing activities that are routine, repetitive, and integral to the use of the production equipment and that occur during normal production operations are not covered by the lockout-tagout standard. This exception is limited, however, and applies only when economic considerations prevent the use of prescribed energy-isolation measures and when the employer provides and requires alternative measures to ensure effective, alternative protection. Whenever the standard is applicable, the machinery must be shut off and isolated from its energy sources, and lockout or tagout devices must be applied to the energy-isolation devices. In addition, the authorized employee(s) must take steps to verify that he or she has effectively isolated the energy. When there is stored or residual energy, the authorized employee(s) must take steps to render that energy safe. If the possibility exists for reaccumulation of stored energy to hazardous levels, the employer must ensure that the worker(s) perform verification steps regularly to detect such reaccumulation before it has the potential to cause injury. [edit] Standard RequirementsOSHA’s standard establishes minimum performance requirements for controlling hazardous energy. The standard specifies that employers must establish an energy-control program to ensure that employees isolate machines from their energy sources and render them inoperative before any employee services or maintains them. As part of an energy-control program, employers must:
If employers use tagout devices on machinery that can be locked out, they must adopt additional measures to provide the same level of employee protection that lockout devices would provide. Within the broad boundaries of the standard, employers have the flexibility to develop programs and procedures that meet the needs of their individual workplaces and the particular types of machines being maintained or serviced. [edit] Energy-control Procedure RequirementsEmployers must develop, document, and use procedures to control potentially hazardous energy[3]. The procedures explain what employees must know and do to control hazardous energy effectively when they service or maintain machinery. If this information is the same for the various machines used at a workplace, then a single energy-control procedure may suffice. For example, similar machines (those using the same type and magnitude of energy) that have the same or similar types of control measures can be covered by a single procedure. Employers must develop separate energy-control procedures if their workplaces have more variable conditions such as multiple energy sources, different power connections, or different control sequences that workers must follow to shut down various pieces of machinery. The energy-control procedures must outline the scope, purpose, authorization, rules, and techniques that employees will use to control hazardous energy sources, as well as the means that will be used to enforce compliance. These procedures must provide employees at least the following information:
In Appendix A to 1910.147, OSHA provides a Typical Minimal Lockout Procedure for employers to consult when preparing their own specific energy-control procedures. The outline is a nonmandatory guideline to help employers and employees comply with the standard. Nothing in the appendix adds to or detracts from any of the requirements in the standard. [edit] Pre-Work RequirementsBefore beginning service or maintenance, the following steps must be accomplished in sequence and according to the specific provisions of the employer’s energy-control procedure:
[edit] Removal of Lockout-Tagout DevicesEmployees who work on deenergized machinery may be seriously injured or killed if someone removes lockout-tagout devices and reenergizes machinery without their knowledge. Thus, it is extremely important that all employees respect lockout and tagout devices and that only the person(s) who applied these devices remove them. Before removing lockout or tagout devices, the employees must take the following steps in accordance with the specific provisions of the employer’s energy-control procedure:
After removing the lockout or tagout devices but before reenergizing the machine, the employer must assure that all employees who operate or work with the machine, as well as those in the area where service or maintenance is performed, know that the devices have been removed and that the machine is capable of being reenergized. (See Sections 6(e) and (f) of 29 CFR Part 1910.147 for specific requirements.) In the rare situation in which the employee who placed the lockout-tagout device is unable to remove that device, another person may remove it under the direction of the employer, provided that the employer strictly adheres to the specific procedures outlined in the standard. (See 29 CFR 1910.147(e)(3).) [edit] Use of Lockout-Tagout DevicesYou must use a lockout program (or tagout program that provides a level of protection equal to that achieved through lockout) whenever your employees engage in service or maintenance operations on machines that are capable of being locked out and that expose them to hazardous energy from unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy. The primary way to prevent the release of hazardous energy during service and maintenance activities is by using energy-isolating devices such as manually operated circuit breakers, disconnect switches, and line valves and safety blocks. Lockout requires use of a lock or other lockout device to hold the energy-isolating device in a safe position to prevent machinery from becoming reenergized. Lockout also requires employees to follow an established procedure to ensure that machinery will not be reenergized until the same employee who placed the lockout device on the energy-isolating device removes it. [edit] Hazardous Energy Source IsolationAn energy-isolating device is considered “capable of being locked out” if it meets one of the following requirements:
Sometimes it is not possible to lock out the energy-isolating device associated with the machinery. In that case, you must securely fasten a tagout device as close as safely possible to the energy-isolating device in a position where it will be immediately obvious to anyone attempting to operate the device. You also must meet all of the tagout provisions of the standard. The tag alerts employees to the hazard of reenergization and states that employees may not operate the machinery to which it is attached until the tag is removed in accordance with an established procedure. If it is possible to lock out an energy-isolating device, employers must use lockout devices unless they develop, document, and use a tagout procedure that provides employees with a level of protection equal to that provided by a lockout device. In a tagout program, an employer can attain an equal level of protection by complying with all tagout-related provisions of the standard and using at least one added safety measure that prevents unexpected reenergization. Such measures might include removing an isolating circuit element, blocking a controlling switch, opening an extra disconnecting device, or removing a valve handle to minimize the possibility that machines might inadvertently be reenergized while employees perform service and maintenance activities. When an energy-isolating device cannot be locked out, the employer must modify or replace the energy-isolating device to make it capable of being locked out or use a tagout system. Whenever employers significantly repair, renovate, or modify machinery or install new or replacement machinery, however, they must ensure that the energy-isolating devices for the machinery are capable of being locked out. Tagout devices may be used on energy-isolating devices that are capable of being locked out if the employer develops and implements the tagout in a way that provides employees with a level of protection equal to that achieved through a lockout system. When using a tagout system, the employer must comply with all tagout-related provisions of the standard and train employees in the limitations of tags, in addition to providing normal hazardous energy control training for all employees. [edit] LimitationsA tagout device is a prominent warning that clearly states that the machinery being controlled must not be operated until the tag is removed in accordance with an established procedure. Tags are essentially warning devices and do not provide the physical restraint of a lock. Tags may evoke a false sense of security. For these reasons, OSHA considers lockout devices to be more secure and more effective than tagout devices in protecting employees from hazardous energy. [edit] Requirements For Lockout-Tagout DevicesWhether lockout or tagout devices are used, they must be the only devices the employer uses in conjunction with energy-isolating devices to control hazardous energy. The employer must provide these devices and they must be singularly identified and not used for other purposes. In addition, they must have the following characteristics:
[edit] Employee RequirementsTraining must ensure that employees understand the purpose, function, and restrictions of the energy-control program. Employers must provide training specific to the needs of authorized, affected, and other employees. Authorized employees are those responsible for implementing the energy-control procedures or performing the service or maintenance activities. They need the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe application, use, and removal of energy-isolating devices. They also need training in the following:
Affected employees (usually machine operators or users) are employees who operate the relevant machinery or whose jobs require them to be in the area where service or maintenance is performed. These employees do not service or maintain machinery or perform lockout-tagout activities. Affected employees must receive training in the purpose and use of energy-control procedures. They also need to be able to do the following:
All other employees whose work operations are or may be in an area where energy-control procedures are used must receive instruction regarding the energy-control procedure and the prohibition against removing a lockout or tagout device and attempting to restart, reenergize, or operate the machinery. In addition, if tagout devices are used, all employees must receive training regarding the limitations of tags.(See 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(ii).) [edit] TrainingThe employer must provide initial training before starting service and maintenance activities and must provide retraining as necessary. In addition, the employer must certify that the training has been given to all employees covered by the standard. The certification must contain each employee’s name and dates of training. Employers must provide retraining for all authorized and affected employees whenever there is a change in the following:
Retraining also is necessary whenever a periodic inspection reveals, or an employer has reason to believe, that shortcomings exist in an employee’s knowledge or use of the energy-control procedure. [edit] Reenergization & TestingOSHA allows the temporary removal of lockout or tagout devices and the reenergization of the machine only in limited situations for particular tasks that require energization for example, when power is needed to test or position machines, equipment, or components. However, this temporary exception applies only for the limited time required to perform the particular task requiring energization. Employers must provide effective protection from hazardous energy when employees perform these operations. The following steps must be performed in sequence before reenergization:
The employer must develop, document, and use energy-control procedures that establish a sequence of actions to follow whenever reenergization is required as a part of a service or maintenance activity, since employees may be exposed to significant risks during these transition periods. [edit] Contractor & Temporary Worker SafetyIf an outside contractor services or maintains machinery, the onsite employer and the contractor must inform each other of their respective lockout or tagout procedures. The onsite employer also must ensure that employees understand and comply with all requirements of the contractor’s energy-control program(s). When a crew, department, or other group performs service or maintenance, they must use a procedure that provides all employees a level of protection equal to that provided by a personal lockout or tagout device. Each employee in the group must have control over the sources of hazardous energy while he or she is involved in service and maintenance activities covered by the standard. Personal control is achieved when each authorized employee affixes a personal lockout-tagout device to a group lockout mechanism instead of relying on a supervisor or other person to provide protection against hazardous energy. Detailed requirements of individual responsibilities are provided in 29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(A) through (D). Appendix C of OSHA Directive STD 1-7.3, 29 CFR 1910.147, the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout-Tagout)-Inspection Procedures and Interpretive Guidance, (September 11, 1990), provides additional guidance. [edit] Shift ChangeEmployers must make sure that there is a continuity of lockout or tagout protection. This includes the orderly transfer of lockout or tagout device protection between outgoing and incoming shifts to control hazardous energy. When lockout or tagout devices remain on energy-isolation devices from a previous shift, the incoming shift members must verify for themselves that the machinery is effectively isolated and deenergized. [edit] Hazardous Energy Control Procedure (HECP) ReviewEmployees are required to review their procedures at least once a year to ensure that they provide adequate worker protection. As part of the review, employers must correct any deviations and inadequacies identified in the energy-control procedure or its application. [edit] HECP Review RequirementsThe periodic inspection is intended to assure that employees are familiar with their responsibilities under the procedure and continue to implement energy-control procedures properly. The inspector, who must be an authorized person not involved in using the particular control procedure being inspected, must be able to determine the following:
For a lockout procedure, the periodic inspection must include a review of each authorized employee’s responsibilities under the energy-control procedure being inspected. Where tagout is used, the inspector’s review also extends to affected employees because of the increased importance of their role in avoiding accidental or inadvertent activation of the machinery. In addition, the employer must certify that the designated inspectors perform periodic inspections. The certification must specify the following:
[edit] Additional ResourcesTo gain a more comprehensive understanding of the requirements for controlling hazardous energy, employers and other interested persons should review the following:
Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution; and 29 CFR 1910.333, Selection and use of work practices. Employers in the maritime, agriculture, and construction industries are urged to review the provisions for the control of hazardous energy contained in 29 CFR Parts 1915, 1917, 1918, 1925, and 1926.

[edit] The Stealth
The Stealth, legends suggest, has lingered on the tips of peasants tongues ever since the fall of the Egyptians. Once only whispered in the dark gallows as a fable. If you were to speak it's name louder then a crickets call on a calm summer night, you were at once banished for life, marooned, never to be seen again. The Stealth's coming of age happened during the late 20th century when a young gentlemen came to realize a troublesome truth. The troublesome truth was that not all engagements ended the way he had hoped and or imagined. (Most ended in a serious condition effecting millions upon millions everyday termed "Blue Balls") The young man sought imperatively to find a solution to this horrid condition. His solution was one that would revolutionize social engagements for ever. Young gentlemen searched the highest mountains and deepest oceans in search for a clue. One lonely night he met a homeless man with a pegged leg, no teeth and an empty eye socket, in the streets of India. This man was doing the in explicable to a small patch of grass in the sand dunes. This is where the young man remembered a particular fable he once read in an old book he found in the library and thought for once this could maybe be possible. Well for the next year he spend countless hours dry humping random objects and mentoring himself in the art of "the stealth" Soon after he became the grand master of the secret stealth society and still resides today.

[edit] Moser Crystal
Moser Glass is a luxury, high-quality crystal manufacturer based in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. Founded in 1857, Moser boasts a long tradition of superior artistic and technical standards in lead-free crystal. Created by Ludwig Moser & Sons, the line originated as an engraving studio in the area known as Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), a region with deep roots in superior glass-making. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Moser developed its now famous technically perfect crystal production, employing a unique formula for producing a substance as hard as rock and as brilliant as lead crystal – but without using a trace of lead. This composition is very suitable for Moser’s marvelous engravings, is ecologically sound and remains free of all concerns associated with lead. Moser’s innovative techniques in cutting, engraving and coloring quickly won the line great acclaim at many prestigious international art exhibitions. Soon Moser became the proud possession of royalty, heads of state and well-known personalities throughout the world, an esteemed reputation that has held fast and continues to grow now in the 21st century. Today, Moser produces a wide range of stem and barware, holloware, accessories, giftware and art glass, all showcasing the superior quality, innovation and remarkable artistic expression for which the line has long been recognized.

[edit] Rasputin!
[edit] Beginnings of Rasputin!In the sands of the Sahara Desert, guitarist and vocalist Kelton Sears rode camel-back in an attempt to escape the hotly pursuing Latvian Troubadours from whom Sears had stolen a concertina in the hopes of kick-starting his musical career. Unbeknownst to Sears, Jimmy Creek, a native to the sands, was scouting the dunes for his nephew who had escaped the village two days back. Rifle in hand, Creek saw the fleeing Sears, and decided in an act of unselfish vigilantism to pick off the crowd of screaming Eastern Europeans with his gun in an attempt to save the fleeing guitarist. "It seemed like an act of God," says Sears of the incident, "the Latvians just started falling like flies." After the mob had been dispatched of, Creek ran to the aid of the shocked Sears, who came out without a scratch. When Sears learned of Creek's plight for his lost nephew, he agreed to help find the boy to thank the man who had saved his life.
The duo scoured the great desert for a fortnight until they found Creek's nephew. To their suprise, he had been kidnapped by a gypsy who had turned the boy into a sort of slave, performing a rehearsed dance that's hypnotic powers drew massive crowds wherever the gypsy drove his caravan. The gypsy would not bargain for the child, insisting that he had brought incredible fortune with his skills and was the only thing keeping his whole act afloat.

The gypsy would not bargain for the child, insisting that he had brought incredible fortune with his skills and was the only thing keeping his whole act afloat. Dismayed that his nephew might never be free again, Jimmy Creek turned to begin his long trek back to the village, that is, until Kelton Sears thought up a plan. Sears proposed to the gypsy that if he let the boy go home to his village, Sears and Creek would replace him with a musical act all to their own. Reluctant, the gypsy requested a performance right then and there to see if they could even come close to drawing the crowds that the young boy had with his dance. Sears took out his guitar and handed Creek the stolen Latvian Troubadours' concertina and they began to play. Not only did they draw crowds, but the size of them surpassed the boy's almost threefold. The gypsy let the boy go, but forced the two to sign a contract binding them to his caravan forever. The contract stated that the two must name themselves after him, Rasputin Morvanovich, in order to glorify him. Reluctantly, but ultimately agreeing that the boy's future was worth the sacrifice, the two signed. The boy was freed, and "Rasputin!" was born. NOTE: Since the band's conception, Creek's concertina got smashed by an errant ship anchor, so it was replaced with a synthesizer. [edit] Released Work[edit] Robots, Dragons, Ninjas and NecromancersFirst effort by Sears and Creek resulted in sheer fan euphoria. The four-track album was released in early July 2007, headlined with the single "Hypersexual" and two brand new tracks, "Pedigree" and "Roach Motel." Also included was a live version of "Hypersexual," recorded at the Darfur Benefit Show in Maple Valley, WA on May 19, 2007. Originally titled "Incest Orgy," the album was renamed due to the prudish attitudes of the band members.

[edit] Water Warning System
Water Warning System (WWS) was firstly introduced by Warning S.A. in 2004. WWS is a machine that prevents water from reaching the engine and gives a visual and sound alert when water is detected. It works as a water trap and when a certain amount of water is reached the alarm starts, at which point the machine must be closed and the water removed from the trap. This innovative machine is designed not only to increase performance but also to avoid damaging the engine. It is suitable for all boat types, diesel or gas.
