James Hetfield - James Hetfield James Hetfield derives his fame from being co-founder, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the band Metallica; indeed, whenever describing Metallica, most people base their comments and definitions upon Hetfield and his distinctive vocal stylings and muscular, high-energy musicianship.

Kirkcudbrightshire - are exposed in the Solway at low water and the rapid flow of the tide has often occasioned loss of life.

As vice-chancellor, Fell personally visited the drinking taverns and ordered out the students. In the university elections he showed great energy in suppressing corruption.

Intelligent dance music - The initials IDM appeared in music magazines during the genre's first wave in 1992-1993, but didn't really stick until the formation of the IDM mailing list, an email forum, on the Internet in August 1993. At that time, the list's focus was on the progressive electronic music of Richard D. James, Autechre and other artists featured on the influential Warp label's Artificial Intelligence compilations. Among these artists were Black Dog Productions (members of which became Plaid) and B12/Redcell. The term "intelligent dance music" is often criticized for not being an actual description of the music genre. Whether or not intelligence or dancing are involved in particular, the name was apparently more memorable than other competing phrases (see: memetic replicator). This is probably due in large part to the high volume of.

George Brett - in three different decades. Brett, the youngest child of a sports-minded family which included his older brother Ken, a major-league pitcher, was born on May 15, 1953 in Glen Dale, West Virginia. His family moved to the midwest and later to southern California when he was a boy, and Brett grew up hoping to follow in his brother's footsteps as a big-league baseball player. He was drafted by the fledgling Kansas City Royals in the second round of the 1971 baseball draft. Brett began his professional career as a shortstop, but had trouble going to his right defensively and was soon shifted to third base.
