The Waterpraxis project is already in its last months. When the project started, the first River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) were under preparation. Implementation of these plans required by the EU Water Framework Directive is now underway in all Baltic countries.
However, implementing RBMPs is a very challenging task. RBMPs are laid out in very general terms, and more detailed planning is required to ensure their smooth implementation. As RBMPs are not necessarily binding, the participation of stakeholders in river basin planning from the very beginning of the process is a key issue in securing wider recognition for water protection measures. Without their support these measures become impossible to implement. Waterpraxis has been focusing on finding solutions to these challenges.

Ever wonder what types of instruments were used to treat ailments during the early ages of medicine? Check out the new library exhibit Tools of the Trade and find out. The exhibit features antique medical instruments from the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library. In this collection you will find items such as a scarificator and cupping device. Both were used during the 19th century in a process called bloodletting, which treated conditions such as fever, anemia, and mental illness. Also included in this exhibit is a Spencer Monocular microscope, produced by the first American microscope manufacturer Charles A. Spencer. Other items in this collection include a urine testing kit, a blood transfusion kit, and an ophthalmological lens set used for eye exams.
The Tools of the Trade exhibit is located on the main floor of the Briscoe Library. This exhibit will be ongoing, but may be removed temporarily for special events. Special Collections staff will rotate the selection of instruments periodically, so check back for new items.

Ebenezer Mennonite Church (Bluffton, Ohio, USA)
The Ebenezer Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite), located two miles (three km) east of Bluffton, Ohio, was a member of the Middle District Conference (later Central District Conference). This congregation formed one of the two centers of the original Swiss community between Bluffton and Pandora. A meetinghouse was built near the site of the present building in 1846, enlarged in 1883, and again in 1928. After Pandora in 1904, and Bluffton in 1918 had organized separate congregations, Ebenezer and St. Johns remained united as one congregation under the ministry of William Gotschall, the last of the ministers to serve the united Swiss community. In 1923 this union was dissolved, and Elmer Neuenschwander became the first minister of the separate congregation. The 1953 membership was 507, with Howard T. Landes as pastor.
In February 1986 Ebenezer withdrew from the General Conference Mennonite Church and the Central District Conference. The church cited doctrinal and ethical differences, including sanctuary [refugees], abortion and peace. The congregation continued as an independent Mennonite church.

Roy Beggs MLA, the Ulster Unionist Health spokesperson, has expressed concerns at suggestions to reduce the Health budget by £68m during this financial year.
The East Antrim MLA told Finance minister Simon Hamilton in the Assembly: "From talking to nurses and doctors, I am aware that the health service is under extreme pressures at present. I had been advised that each Health and Social Services Trust had been in deficit. Given the pressures and the annual increase in demand for health services, it is incredulous that anyone is suggesting reducing the health service budget."
Mr Beggs warned: "Such a suggestion could cost lives."
During Question Time, Mr Beggs asked the minister: "What levels of additional resources were allocated to address pressures within the Department of Health as an outturn of the headroom within the 2013-14 budget?"
Mr Hamilton replied: "The department were allocated an additional £57m in resources departmental expenditure limit during the 2013-14 monitoring round process. I can confirm that there has been no further allocation to the Department since the January monitoring round. I expect that the Health Minister should be able to manage his financial pressures to ensure that he stays within the budget control totals set by the Executive."
In turn, Mr Beggs said: "I welcome the belated recognition by the minister of the considerable financial pressures that exist in our health service. However, the minister indicated this morning that he might be proposing to remove £68m from the current year. Have the minister and the Executive considered what the cost would be to patients if £68m were removed from the health service?"
The Finance Minister proceeded to defend the £68m cut, saying: "If we have to proceed down the route I have suggested, which is that reductions of 1.5 per cent will have to be made to every Department's budget – every Department having to take a 1.5 per cent cut – that will equate to a reduction of close to £70m in the health budget. Ultimately, if the Executive agree to go down that route because of non-progress on welfare reform, the exact and precise handling of that would be a matter for the Health Minister."

As per the GSGI Classes, could you enumerate the times in which even a person armed with a Handgun [CCW] would/could/should use the "tactical" folding edged weapon over the handgun as well as empty hand, O.C. Pepper and Impact Weapons such as the ASP...
I'm not new to all of this, I'm just new here, and I'm interested in the GSGI way of doing things!
By the way, what is your folder of choice? I have two E.Emerson Commanders and a couple Bud Nealy Fixed Blades that suit my purposes just fine.

Good question Don.
I suppose I could be cute and go to the old adage of never bringing a knife to a gun fight, but it is not that simply answered.
As I understand your question you are addressing a force continuum decision process. Under what conditions the folder should be used over the hand gun, physical strikes or hand to hand techniques, chemical irritants, and impact weapons.
As a law enforcement officer one is bound to comply with appropriate force escalation meeting the threat level involved - that's simple - the edged weapon now becomes the last choice or as a weapon of last resort. An example would be a multi threat situation where your partner, if there, and yourself are involved in individual battle gone bad and you are on the ground unable to retrieve the hand gun - the ASP is worthless as a blunt weapon close in unless you can apply pain compliance techniques but that is unlikely. The edged weapon now becomes weapon of choice in conjunction with appropriate grapple compliance techniques. It is therefore essential that the weapon is always carried in a manner facilitating deployment in ground grapple situation. I find low front strong side around the belt area accommodates this.
As a private citizen one is not compelled to comply with force continuum per say, but we must assume the citizen is in a defensive situation and even here reasonable force to stop a threat or perceived threat to one's life will be judged.. Being aware that brandishing a weapon, gun or knife, can lead to escalation or even put you in the wrong in some states, hello Californians, the weapon of choice should meet the threat level at the time threat is perceived to be immanent and not before. Simply stated the weapon should not be deployed, knife or gun, to simply impress or intimidate the opponent.
Without getting carried away let it suffice to say further that my personal choice for a defensive weapon is the edged weapon for close in encounters, it is deployed only at the onslaught of attack in a total surprise to the attacker. Now that does not mean that I would not present a hand gun if available in the same situation. Really the situation dictates the decision.
Often a charging individual from as far away as 20 to 30 feet can reach a victim before the victim can present a pistol, especially from a retention type holster whereas the folder can be deployed rapidly and meet the oncoming threat so as to inflict damage enabling the escape.
My favorite folder is Emerson's Commander and I have a litany of fixed blades on my favorites list Randall being up there.

Rentention holsters are now the norm for uniformed and some plains clothes officers, but for civilians IWB holsters are extremely popular, many of these designs, including the ones I use, are open top. I find it hard to see a big time difference in pulling a knife clipped to my front pocket and pulling a gun from a strongside IWB holster.
In this situation, do you really feel the knife is quicker?

I'm not going to answer for Harry, instead I'll give you my take on it and Harry can shoot me down or correct me, whatever he wishes to add. Let me say first of all that I'm from the Knifer Sect, but I own defensive firearms too, and I believe everything has its place.
For my money, if the handgun is deflected or momentarily disabled, which is easy to do, anything that impedes the slide on a semi-auto handgun can cause a stoppage. I believe that it is a toss up in close quarters, gun or knife. Knives do not get "stopped" so readily, they cut their way out of problems. There is a major misunderstanding as to just what a razor sharp knife can do.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, in CQC, anything and everything goes and flies and nothing but skill is a sure bet. Distance favors the marksman while it is the enemy of the knifer, i.e., I don't think it matters much which you can get out faster, I think you can draw a knife or gun very fast. The problem as I see it is, if the guy gets to your gun before the muzzle covers him, and he has a knife, you are in trouble. If he gets to your knife and you can cut your way out, well...I think you get the idea.
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I'm not quite awake yet, I don't know if I explained my thoughts clearly enough.

Knife VS Gun speed...
I think this depends on the person - and what that person is used to draw. I have carried knives and guns most of my life. (I have photos of me in diapers with a gunbelt and six shooter) I am pretty fast whipping out my Spydercos and Benchmades - still working on being fast with my Emerson... Pretty fast is not fast enough. I am much faster with my guns. Muscle Memory plays a factor - I can draw my gun like it was just a muscle twitch - from a behind the hip concealment rig - or from my Bastardized Desanti/Safariland rig ( Lowride-Jacket slot set up).
We did that 21 foot knife attack test - The guy closed to 18 before Simunition rounds started impacting his chest.
I am not bragging - merely pointing out your training - experience - skill all add up into what is the best reaction. There are a lot of things I really suck at. Like line dancing...

I, and one of the guys I train with, have been able to nail people before they reached us with during the knife attack drill too, without backpeddling.
I find "rushing attacker myth"to be highly dubious. In fact, I have a theory that its popularity is reinforced by intstructors who know that they're students will not practice enough to get really fast. I know one instructor who is definitely fast enough to beat the rushing attacker, but he still uses the myth in his training, rather than challenge his students to get quick.
I have mixed feelings about it. I feel pretty strongly that in a real world situation, which allows movement on the targets part, using of the off hand for blocks/strikes (or throwing donuts...), and other environmental factors, someone has got to be a lot closer than 20 feet to insure that they can cause damage before the gun is out and pumpin'.

Rob and Kodiac-
One of the things you have to take into account in the "rushing attack" drill is that bullets don't immediately stop the fight in many cases and holster to head shot is a tough one with the attacker getting the jump from 20 feet.
If I were take an edged weapons person with skill comparable to yours with the handgun (Harry, Hilton, Kevin McClung or Ernie Emerson come to mind), I'd venture to say that fight might be stopped more quickly by the defender holding the knife than the one holding the gun...it would almost certainly be stopped with greater finality.
I'm not necessarily advocating the use of the knife over the handgun at any range. But it does have it's advantages at very close range or when the attacker is already on you; also makes some sense in crowded rooms.
btw: Walt once demonstrated an alternative to the 20 foot rush which even works for those with normal reaction times: As you draw the weapon and the attacker closes, side step to strong side, turn and take a bead on the back of his (passing) head. What you choose to do at that point is you call.

Rich, the last scenario you mentioned is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. The standard rushing attacker drill calls for the target to stand still while he draws, which is just not realistic.
It is true that a handgun is not going to stop the momentum of a rushing knife attacker, and even if an OSS is achieved on the draw, the attacker may still reach the target and cause damage, if the knife is still out and failing. BUT, Of course, if you are waiting to engage with a knife, you take the risk of dealing with someone who may be skillful or lucky at contact range.

My academy called it a "shuffle-pivot".
You side step and turn in on the attacker just as you guys mentioned. This is also the basic move done in a lot of other situations and HTH etc... Same as a matador does when he bluffs the bull.
I doubt even the Infamous Mr Platt would have a hard time closing 18 after taking a chest full of 135gr +P .40 cal Cor-bons. The rounds FBI Agent Mereles (However you spell the name) used, are in a much lower bracket of ability.
(That situation still gets me steamed. The agent should have had the game over with his first 6 rounds... shooting over the hood of his car into the side window of Platt's car as they were parked fender to fender. He failed in my opinion leading to the injury of 4 other agents and 2 agent's deaths. You should practice shooting before you take a job where you may need to shoot.)
Rich, You mean the Bad Guys don't fly back 12 feet when hit by bullets?
Ah, yeah... I need to go get my Dr. Pepper now...

Good points all.
Note how I cleverly(?) avoided putting a knife into the attacker's hand. I was referring to an unarmed attacker, as I would never engage in a knife on knife fight if I had a firearm and some room to move.
Some trainer (Ernie?) once said something to the effect that the difference between the winner and looser of a knife on knife contest is that the winner dies a little bit later than the looser.

I think we need to separate Law Enforcement and Civilian, i.e., concealed vs. not concealed.
Although LEO's have the ever-present spectre (no, not you Spectre!) of IA, etc., looming over them and second-guessing them, if an off-duty LEO brandishes because he THINKS, something is wrong, he will not get blasted. A Civilian CCW holder will lose the permit and possibly be charged as well.
I'm not talking about the Magical Distance of 21 Feet necessarily nor am I concentrating on the "Tueller Drill" that made 21 the Magic Number. Although that Drill is a good drill to give you ideas and practice, let me give you a clue as to what I'm talking about.
Many others in cyber-territory far away, have made statements about Cooper's Color Codes and whatnot, again, it has its place. I live in a real world with real problems, I get distracted, I'm not a robot. The normal flat tires, bills getting paid and sick child applies. Things happen and I'm not for one minute going to put my faith in living in a certain color like it is a religion. I believe it is an idea to be given thought and it is to be applied whenever possible, but it is not something that can honestly be accomplished all the time. That is my opinion and I could be wrong, but as for me, I'm on the money of course...
I've heard others talking about awareness, to the point they cross streets or go the long way around to the point of absurdity, to avoid a 30-foot stretch of darkness, I live in a real world where there are dark areas (darkness can be your friend as well as foe), corners, tight spots and stairwells. All of these things get lost in discussions because people pull out the magical words, "Be aware." That is fine, but don't think you're going to live under the glow of a streetlight all the time.
The only assault cue you are likely to get on the street is the abrupt "chirp" of a dirtbag's tennsi shoes before he is on you. It will not be the loud beep or buzz of something like a Timer. The assault cues could be a Thread all by itself....
A couple years ago, A Baltimore City Police Officer was responding to a call and while going up stairs, was pounced on by a criminal with an icepick. I do not remember the outcome, but I do know the Officer went to Shock Trauma. The guy was on him so fast he could not draw, the guy stabbed him several times in the left shoulder and left side of the neck, he stabbed him once so hard it went clear through the Motorola Speaker/Mic on his shoulder. This is what I speak of.

Ouch... That is ugly. Those Motorola units are expensive.
Most of us understand that the impact of a hit on you is not the end of the fight - but the beginng.

Very funny, Don.
Personally, my CS folder is carried in an "open and exposed manner" as per GA law, which says that knives carried for offense or defense must be carried in such manner. (Though of course my knife is just a tool!) As such, my folder is usually a little faster into action than my P-40 or G23. It doesn't hurt that I practice a lot of knife presentation, either.
We were doing sword evasion in class today. Nothing like a few good wacks with a shinai to keep you honest. In evading one with a knife- in this case, a REALLY BIG knife- timing and distance are everything. Some have suggested that practicing a knife draw with reaction hand will buy the time to present PDF with dominant side. I am of course interested in what Mr. Humphries thinks of that idea.

I have fond teenage memories of seeing Bud on 20/20 wacking slow students on the ankles, with a shinai, who did not jump high enough fast enough. The guy always has a smile on his face and is such a treasure to everyone who is serious about martial arts. Thanks for the memory When you see him, tell him soneone out there remembers how they tried to take him out of context, he came across well...

Well Don looks like you stirred up a hot topic. You all bring up valid points. Many people have exceptional skills, some are blessed with natural speed and/or an ability to deal with shock encounters without going through momentary denial and suffer from the paralyzing effects of hormonal induced heart rate increase (Adrenalin cocktail, if you will). Most of us have to constantly dry fire or practice presentation to maintain a smooth execution but to simply have a bit of jacket or shirt or changed holster position influence that smooth presentation you can count on lost moments that may lead to defeat (Murphy 101).
Under stress the corrective process can be quite humorous to watch, I have seen very experienced people get so focused on actuating (fighting ) a pump action shotgun forstock and totally forget to simply actuate the release. I'm sure all of you have seen similar apparent loss of skill under stress. This is a normal reaction under stress when one is at a point of reduced fine motor skill. In fact everyone under enough- yes everyone- stress or operating under massive hormonal dump will lose almost all fine motor skills. This is when the gross motor skills take over and we tend to muscle through the problem or simply freeze mentally and physically. It is with this in mind that one should not take for granted that one would do what is obvious in any situation under extreme stress. Think of doe eyes fixed on head lamps of an oncoming vehicle - that's what really can and often does happen in an attack unless of course you are training for just such an encounter. We instructors need to use the onrushing attacker drill to demonstrate the spatial relationship with reaction time. There is definitely a place for this drill. You folks out there that are beating the 21 foot rush are doing exactly what the drill is meant to do - train through the problem. The simple truth is that the majority of the student population out there are not able to beat the rush and in fact often freeze in the draw stroke mid way from leather to muzzle on desired point of impact. The knife wheeler simply puts the blade out in a fencing or reverse grip and administers a slash or stab to the torso, arm or, if good the neck
The good news is that practicing presentations over and over under all conceivable conditions with a hand gun and/or folder, if you are inclined to use it as a primary or back-up defensive weapon will create a habituated response that will instinctively bring you through this freeze zone. You will never think through the problem under stress - your defensive actions must be natural or instinctive - this can only be instilled through repetitive training both physical and visualized.
With respect to Jeff Cooper's color code or conditions of awareness, this is usually presented as a teaching aid, to identify conditions of mind set for a student and emphasize that yellow or relaxed awareness will go a long way in preventing one from entering the valley of the shadow of death. No panaceas here guys just a method of creating awareness in an otherwise totally unaware potential victim.
Knife over Gun still is dictated, in my mind, by situation. Knife and gun, the best of both worlds, creates a lot more in the way of personal arsinal, doesn't it.

You explained in a very concise manner, exactly what I was trying to get across.
I am not "against" Mr. Cooper's Color Code or the Tueller 21-Ft. Drill, all I was trying to say is, whatever your wishes, sometimes it does not work out that way. Attacks don't always appear in that sterile manner, they just happen, and not usually the way you trained for them to happen.

Terrific post, Mr. Humphries. The fine motor skill degradation is a constant, and the martial art I study tends to teach very big, large motor skill movements to beginners for just that reason.

Now I know what we have been doing wrong here in Texas. I thought we wuz just slow.
We always practiced the drill at "17" feet using frustrated track stars as the knife attackers.

Based on personal experience (and this is not to imply vast experience or anything ), but you can get a knife and a gun equally fast into action. Yes, you do have to play with the set up and practice it to get it to work right.
Against the "rush", the first priority is not to get the weapon of your choice out, but to respond in such a way to make sure that you don't get killed. THEN, worry about getting your tools out.

I didn't get into twilight until after all the drama. I am desperately hoping she will finish it because it adds so much to the whole. Being able to go home and see the cullens. It made me love Alice so much more when she kept asking if she could talk to Bella. To see her and Edward interact also was so awesome. I loved that he kept the lemonade cap. I also understood his mood swings because I was a little confused at first. I also kept thinking he fell in love with her because he wanted her blood and that seemed totally weird, but when he keeps a list of all the things he loves about HER, I really understood. When that April fools thing said it would be published my heart stopped and I was excited and then when I found out it was April fools, I just about cried.

More Information
Affordable Housing (also known as Inclusionary Housing)
Davidson encourages the production of affordable housing by requiring 12.5% of homes in all new developments to be affordable. With inclusionary housing, construction of low-and-moderate income housing is linked to construction of housing in the marketplace by mandating developers to provide the affordable units in an otherwise market-driven development. In doing so, inclusionary housing not only generates units affordable to low-and-moderate income families, but also provides opportunities for racial and economic integration. With inclusionary housing, affordable units are built concurrently with market-rate housing.
For more information on affordable housing, please visit section 5 of our planning ordinance. For more information on fair market rent and income, see the FY2018 Fair Market Rent Summary.
Goals of the Affordable Housing Program
The goals of the program are to create mixed income neighborhoods; produce affordable housing for a diverse labor force; seek equitable growth of new residents; and increase home ownership opportunities for low-and-moderate income levels.
Who Lives in Affordable Housing in Davidson?
A number of elderly residents are unable to afford the skyrocketing price of homes in Davidson. In addition, persons who work in Davidson with jobs that pay low-to-moderate wages.. Examples include:
- Fire fighters
- Retail sales clerks
- Accountants
- Teachers
- Mail carriers
- Police officers
- Office workers
- Social workers
- Entry level professionals in other fields
How You Can Apply for a Home
To learn about the application process, email Cindy Reid, Affordable Housing Coordinator, or call 704 940-9605.

She's apparently been writing for the children's educational market for a while, and she's published two YA fantasy novels under her own name: this one and its companion, Fire (review forthcoming). There is a third book, Bitterblue, which is still in the process of being written, also set in the same world, to be published, well, some time after it's finished, and I have no date on that yet.
In the land of the Seven Kingdoms, some babies are born with eyes that are both the same color, but by the time they are toddlers, their eyes change to be two different colors, such as blue and green or silver and gold.

It may be as innocuous as being able to make the best bread ever–in which case they will probably go work for the kitchens in the royal castle–or it may be like Katsa's: killing.

Dad didn't look much happier. "AJ better know what the hell he's doing there." He did. We wish Hamilton all the best in his ongoing struggle with addiction, and marvel again how much different it looks when a professional athlete falls off the wagon than it does for the rest of us.

Post subject: Sabbath NOT metal? ??
Through out the years (sheesh been a long time since 1998) on the HR board we have discussed topics that included Sabbath and Maiden. The Ozzy vs. Dio, the Guillan vs. Hughes or the Dianno vs. Dickinson and Dickinson vs. Bayley. Since this is HardRadio the Heavy Metal Site, we touched on these subjects.
But recently I have been discussing metal music with young generation of "metal" guys that no longer consider Sabbath or Maiden Metal music. The bands just simply are not heavy enough, fast enough and should be considered "classic rock". These guys are into Lamb of God, Nevermore, Children of Bodom.
I completely understand that labeling types of music is such a personal "thing", yet I always thought that I listened to metal music which included the Sabbs and Maiden.
Perhaps I missed some sort of evolving thinking on the new current state of metal music is now, but I was curious as to what others HR thought on the issue (we have been at it here on some form or another for 30 years or more for others)

I'm only 35 and by that time in the 80's there was a thing called "Heavy Metal" there were bans like Iron Maiden and others that were heavier. I didn't reallyknew there was a difference between maiden and anthrax and Exodus, I just had the cassettes and listened to the music. I knew they were "Thrash Metal" but also "Metal".
By that time there wasn't public internet so communication were less explosive and you had to have a physical method to transport music, apart from someone to give you the music first or pressing rec on the radio whenever a tune sounded(as metal was a subgenre it was never aired, anyways).
Long Hair, Blue Jeans, And a tshirt with your favorite band on it was the customary clothing heavy metal was developing. People listened to Metal with such intensity that it rapidly grew into their culture and began to change the way they dressed. That was "Metal".
I can assume these "younger" generations lack the experience of living in those years and they didn't have the chance to contemplate and see the world with their own eyes during that period.
Then we go further back and you enter into what "formed" Metal music. Critics say Sabbath was the first band, I have heard many "critics" say that. And we know younger people generally tend to dissent on almost everything just for the sake of it, therefore, they can pretend to not "acknowledge" the consensus among the "critics".
Younger people may trace an era without cellphones like impossible to imagine, or we an era with no tv, but those years are fairly near to us all. So there's a gap in perception that is understandable. }
There is also the element of "tribe" culture in the people. Music has the capacity to move you. "Harmony is the language of the universe" Stockhausen mentioned many times in interviews how music can change the way someone behaves and its entire culture, logically. People tend to dress in the "style" they love. It's real easy to google "Sleaze" and you may get a certain culture way of dressing tht comes through the music and its elements. There are many videos onm youtube where you can see how people dress according to the "Genre" they listen to, not limited to metal genres.
(Please take all of of ths with a grain of salt, as I'm pretty much brainstorming ideas, with no editing, he).
As I am writing this essay (haha) sounds Alice Cooper - Prince of Darkness from Raise your Fist and Yell.
So the further you move into heavier genres the more distant you are from the begining so certain perspectives may be lost in along the way.
Because what really matters, what the expert say or what people are discussing in a room while having fun? It's generally wise to not contradict the audence. Maybe we can agree in that it isn't worth to involve yourself too deeply on these matters.
Consider Alcatrazz
Alcatrazz was a heavy metal band formed in 1983 in Los Angeles by Graham Bonnet. If you listen to some tunes you will say thats not heavy at all. Then you arrive into "A HM band that sometimes makes non-HM songs" Whic is quite ridicoulous from any perspective. For once, music cannot be enclosed in a "Style" AS stockhausen mentiones in hislectures life is much more than a "style" and styles will never progres sbecause if they progress they stop being what they were so they arent in that particular style anymore.
That's why music cannot be subjected and encapsulted to a particular style as it limits real music. That's why in interviews musicians sy repeatedly "People said we were playing "metal" we were just making music and hacing fun without any particular "style" on mind". And yup, that seems to be the most reasonable thing just because of the nature of music.
Here you can see The first part of the first lecture:
And the "Heavy Metal Enciclopedia"
The 3 most popular hm bands are Ir Maid, Black Sa and Met
ANd then u have the music that is formulated to be an "style" whatever it takes, there music becomes generally business and begins its degradation serving itself to no-matter-what-commercial plans.
Probably it's better to stay away from these discussions and not create possible not nice disagreements that are little worth and just enjoy music in peace.
Fore moredata you can present that wikipedia (widly accepted) defines HM with BS as a starter
"Black Sabbath are generally considered both the first heavy metal and doom metal band. "
I dislike Dogmatization so probably anyone is entitled to understand metal as he can. for sure, there are many definitions of Metal as points of view about it there are.
Songs from Balck Sabbath are fefinitly Hevay Metal specuially when you consider the Dio Era. Neon-Knights for example has tons of HM elements.
Judas Priest defined Heavy Metal in an interview:
From Wikipedia: Heavy metal is a genre of rock music
Full Definition of HEAVY METAL: energetic and highly amplified electronic rock music having a hard beat merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heavy metal
last.fm: Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom
So Metal is pretty much uunder the umbrella of "Rock" style of Music. There we have "Hard" Rock
so you can start another dicussion : Is (this band) hard rock?
Critic has already nominated Black Sabbath as one of the pillars were Metal music grew. There is certainly more development and mutations and additions, that further complicate these matters of definition. Widly accepted? yes. Accepted by the random Metal maniac one can have a chat with? Not always. Culture is general but it can also have a distinctive color for a person and it can be so different and they can dissent so much on the public view of things that the final result can be the total separation of the individual with the general opinion.
I leave now with this EP, enjoy!

First, thanks for bringing our stuff back!!!!!
And now a little late, but better late than never.
I was able to catch Black Sabbath The End Tour concert in Houston. It was great!!! It never gets old for me.
Yeah yeah yeah!!! Same ol' songs.
They stuck to the classics, including Dirty Women from the Technical Ecstasy LP, Rat Salad from Paranoid LP and Behind the Wall of Sleep from Black Sabbath LP. And it was great.
If I have to rate it with other BS concerts, this was second only to the Black Sabbath concert at Ozzfest 1997 in San Antonio. But that was nearly 20 years ago, they were much younger (well, we all were) and the show was very energetic. This one was sort of no frills show, the days of excessive light shows or gigantic background sets are a thing of the past. So this was just about the music and the fans as Ozzy was very respectful towards the crowd, constantly thanking them for 50 years of supporting Black Sabbath.
The music and sound was great as I was able to notice quirks and odds, guitar sound a little off or voice occasionally cracking, but it was nice to know they were playing LIVE. (I was talking to the person next to me and said Motley Crue's concert at the same venue was not very good as the sound track started to skip during one of their songs and Sixx had to apologize to the crowd and telling them it is the way things are these days funny)
I don't know if this is The End, but if it is, they did it in style. (just too bad no Bill Ward, I always thought he was great in all the shows I saw him play)
Something bad about the show? The encore is always Paranoid. I like the song, but come on, there is a whole library available. I always Wheels of Confusion and closing with the Straightener (In some of their show they played Fluff through the sound system when they were disassembling the stage equipment)
They are METAL!

This story is just breaking and deserves a special mention.
Man tells police he has lived in woods for past 20 years
Buried in the thick woods of northern Warren County, 2 miles from the nearest road, was a testament to human adaptability.
A tarp-covered lean-to loaded with clothing, sleeping bags and provisions — items believed to have been stolen from seasonal homes around the Brant Lake region — was his residence, at least for the last several months.
The man police believe endured the elements of the Adirondacks in a pine-branch shelter was Alan G. Como, 56, whose last known address was in Massachusetts, police said. He told police he'd lived in the woods for the past 20 years.
This guy had been breaking in and burglarizing camps for gear – for 20 years!! Seems he started near Chazy Lake and began moving south after he was detected.
Big and muscular with little fat on his body, police said he is in remarkably good shape for someone his age who has apparently lived in the woods for at least several years.
"He's a pro. He knows what he's doing," Cleveland said.
Only items needed for survival — clothes, sleeping bags, food and batteries — were taken during the burglaries, with the thief leaving behind valuables like jewelry and electronics, the sheriff said.
Here's the best account of his capture:
For over a year, Warren County Sheriffs Deputies and State Police have been looking for a man living in camps in the middle of the woods, stealing items here and there from camps in northern Warren County.
"A lot of people seen him and whatnot, but they just weren't able to catch up to him," says Paul Smith, with the Horicon Highway Department.
Until Wednesday, the arrest of 59-year-old Alan Como came on the heels of a Tuesday morning tip from two Horicon snowplow operators who saw something that just did not look right.
"2:30 in the morning, somebody is out on a bicycle and there is two-inches of snow on the road…something is going on," says Mark Younes, with the Horicon Highway Department.
There was a bike trail in the snow that the plows followed along their route.
"I finally tracked him out on to Pallisades Road, which eventually leaded to Beaver Pond Road," Younes says. "Then that was the end of my route, and one of the other plow guys picked the track up from there."
The plow operator followed the tracks in the snow until they went over the snow bank and left the road.
"They sent up some investigators…Mark and I went up to show them where he went over the bank, and they took it from there," says Smith.
After two days of scouring the woods, on Wednesday, deputies found Como's latest campsite.
"(It was) about two-miles in, way back in the deep woods…(we) spooked this guy out of his place," says Warren County Sheriff Larry Cleveland.
Then, a nearly two-mile foot chase ensued, until Como ran into uniformed officers waiting for him.
I don't know what to make of this. Sort of reminds me of famous Adirondack hermits of the past and even some people I know who live in "houses".

Look, I don't support what this guy has done, but this story is sounding more like First Blood than a case-study in law-enforcement and prosecution. They are hitting him with a felony count based on the estimated value of a tree.
- Screwed: Adirondack Beaver Pond Hermit Alan Como
We're certainly not condoning a hermit's theft of minor items from isolated camps. That's a crime that should be punished. But the Beaver Pond Hermit case is a clear signal that if you choose to live outside the boundaries of mainstream society, you may find yourself a target for the police state.

Como's appearance in Horicon Town Court was brief Wednesday afternoon. Wearing a black-and-white jail jumpsuit and blue denim jacket, his legs and hands were bound with manacles and handcuffs.

According to Cleveland, his department has access to your tax records, they know who your relatives are, if you hold any licenses, and your prior addresses – all pretty well expected, but they apparently have ANOTHER 20 PAGES of your life stored away somewhere as well.

Ode to Groklaw: A Requiem for What Was Lost
Aug 26, 2013 5:00 AM PT
It's not often we here in the Linux blogosphere must cope with death -- figuratively speaking -- in the projects and products we love.
After all, when it's open source, what may "die" one day will likely be reborn the next as something new thanks to the beauty of forking, among other things. Just recall Fuduntu, for example -- it may have closed its doors earlier this year, but soon afterwards Cloverleaf was born.
Of course, turns out Cloverleaf development was also just halted, but hey -- no tears! There's no telling what may come next, right?
'The Internet Is Over'
The same, however, cannot so easily be said of Groklaw, which closed its doors last week in response to email security concerns.
"The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too," wrote site author PJ in a post last Tuesday.
"There is no way to do Groklaw without email," PJ added.
"For me, the Internet is over," she concluded. "This is the last Groklaw article."
It may perhaps sound melodramatic to say that cries of anguish have been heard throughout the Linux blogosphere ever since, but it's an accurate representation. More than a few laments could be heard over the weekend down at the blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon.
'We're Going to Miss Her'
"It's amazingly sad to see Groklaw go," offered Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone, for example. "I've been reading Groklaw since it first opened its doors and I've come to think of PJ as a trusted friend, despite the fact that we've never met or even talked.
"I'm not sure I agree with her closing the doors on Groklaw," Stone added. "I know and understand why she's doing what she's doing, but I wish she could find a way to address her own concerns and still keep Groklaw operational."
In the end, of course, "it has to be her call," he concluded. "I can only wish her the very best in whatever she decides to do in the future and hope that we'll all see her again soon. We're going to miss her."
'The Internet Is a Poorer Place'
Indeed, "I was shocked by this news," agreed Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project. "The Internet is a poorer place for this loss."
Groklaw was "one of the places that really helped me understand the dimensions of copyright and patent law as applied to open source software," Travers explained. "It was one of the most interesting sites on the Internet in this regard."
Today, however, "the Internet is changing fast," he said. "I think in a few years a lot of things we take for granted now will have gone the way of telnet. It remains to be seen what will go and what will stay."
'Canary in the Coal Mine'
Groklaw is "truly the canary in the coal mine," suggested Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza.
"When it is no longer possible to tell the truth online sufficiently for it to exist, none of us have the freedom of speech," Espinoza explained. "The corporations which have bought our government are in the process of buying our silence and obedience as well, and the cost is turning out to be remarkably low."
Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol took a similar view.
"One by one, the voices are being systematically silenced," Ebersol told Linux Girl.
PJ "did a great service, and she knew what she was talking about," he added. "Now, so called 'patent' experts keep spreading (paid) nonsense about patents on Free Software, like an idiot's echo chamber."
Similarly, "this is not good at all," Google+ blogger Rodolfo Saenz agreed. "Mass surveillance makes me remember the socialist republics trying to control their citizens at all cost. What is next? Free expression?"
'Hang Our Heads in Shame'
The United States "has historically been an example to the world," noted Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien.
"At one time we could be proud that our example was about extending freedom and democracy," he explained. "Now we have to hang our heads in shame as we lead the world into the surveillance state and no freedom and no democracy.
"The Stasi would have loved to do the things our government is doing," O'Brien added.
'She Overreacted'
On the other hand, "I do not see closing as a solution," Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor. "I think it is akin to running from the enemy.
"The best solution would be to move their operations to countries which have laws which are more favorable to the privacy of communications," Lim explained. "Given how much commerce is involve here, I can imagine that several countries would be willing to becoming the 'Switzerland of the Internet.'"
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack saw it similarly.
"She overreacted," Mack told Linux Girl. "The smart play would be to move the whole thing to a safer country, enable SSL with forward secrecy and enable TLS on her mail server. After that, anyone concerned about their privacy can move to offshore or at least make sure their mail provider supports TLS for server-to-server mail transfer."
'Right Off the Deep End'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet took an even stronger view.
"Honestly, after the SCO case wrapped up Groklaw went right off the deep end, and PJ was seeing bogeymen under every rock," hairyfeet asserted.
"The fact that PJ runs and hides because somebody says 'don't use email' just shows how Groklaw deserves to go away," he concluded. "I personally don't care what the guy at Lavabit says -- nobody is gonna shut me up and I'm not gonna hide from the world just because there is supposed to be a bogeyman in the closet."
'Epidemic of Intolerance'
Not everyone was convinced, however.
"For more than a decade GROKLAW has been a bastion of freedom," blogger Robert Pogson pointed out. "Bullies were assaulting the world of IT with campaigns against the GPL, Free Software, and Linux with attempts to put a stop to diversity and even to charge an outrageous tax on GNU/Linux PCs and servers.
"What the bullies could not do was stop Groklaw," Pogson added.
Now, "what the rest of us do about the NSA's intrusions remains to be seen," he said. "I am considering moving my blog and changing my e-mail provider, and browser.
"The train-wreck that is USA politics is too big to stop," Pogson concluded. "PJ and Groklaw are not the victims of this piece. They are symbols of the epidemic of intolerance that sweeps USA. This is only the beginning of global shifts in confidences and alliances."
'This One Is for Keeps'
Indeed, "I have to say that I was honestly not surprised, and I expect to see more of this in the coming months and years," Google+ blogger Brett Legree agreed.
"I know more than a few folks have been saying that PJ should have stuck around to fight, but you know, it's very easy to say that from the sidelines," he noted. "I respect her decision. Everyone has a breaking point."
Meanwhile, "be careful, folks," Legree urged. "Be very aware of the consequences of any actions you take if you choose to fight. This one is for keeps."

NY crowned world's top financial centre
New York has overtaken London as the world's most attractive financial centre, a survey says, as Britain's decision to leave the European Union prompts banks to shift jobs out of the city to preserve access to Europe's single market.
Since Britain voted to leave the EU more than two years ago, some of the world's most powerful finance companies in London have been searching for a way to preserve the existing cross-border flow of trading after it leaves the bloc in 2019.
New York took first place, followed by London, Hong Kong and Singapore in the Z/Yen global financial centres index, which ranks 100 financial centres on factors such as infrastructure and access to high quality staff.
Shanghai overtook Tokyo to move into fifth place in the index gaining 25 points in the ratings. Beijing, Zurich, and Frankfurt moved into the top 10 centres, replacing Toronto, Boston, and San Francisco.
London's ranking fell by eight points from six months ago, the biggest decline among the top contenders. The survey's authors said the drop reflected the uncertainty around Brexit.
"We are getting closer and closer to exit day and we still don't know whether London will be able to trade with all the other European financial centres," Mark Yeandle, the co-creator of the index, told Reuters.
"The fear of losing business to other centres is driving the slight decline and people are concerned about London's competitiveness."
Since Britain voted more than two years ago to leave the EU, some of the world's most powerful finance companies in London have begun moving staff to the EU to preserve the existing cross-border flow of trading after 2019.
Around 5,000 roles are expected to be shifted or created in the EU from London by March next year, the date of Britain's EU exit, a study by Reuters published in March found.
The head of the City of London financial district predicted in July that 3,500 to 12,000 financial jobs would go because of Brexit.

It's strategic game. In this game you will not find any shooting or destroying any space ships. It's just text based.
But, I think the game is cool. You have to plan how to attack the enemy, protect your own planet and beware of the enemy invasion to other planets.
For the beginning you will have 10 space ships. Every time you end your turn, your space ship will increase based on the production capacity (usually 10, but depend on the planet). You are in planet A and your enemy in planet B.
The keys to win the war are:
Always monitor the number of the enemy space ships.
Don't send lots of your space ship at the beginning of the game.
Always attack the planet B with 2 space ships.
You have to attack the nearest planet to own it. If you own a planet, you will have their space ship industry to support your space ships army.
When you own a planet, don't use their space ship directly. Wait until their space ships number is bigger than your enemy. Otherwise your enemy may take it back.
The more planets you own the easier you can defeat your enemy.

The message is your own a planet.
If you win the game, you will have a message like below

Need a refreshing treat for the warmer days to come? Go with a granita. Granita is a semi-frozen, Sicilian specialty that is served both as dessert and as a palate cleanser between meal courses. Essentially, is is made up of sugar, water, flavorings and, in this case, booze, and is very similar to Italian Ice.
Granita one of my go-to desserts because it's incredibly easy to make and requires no special equipment to prepare. A baking dish, a fork and a freezer — that's it. Seriously, this recipe is hard to screw up. Granita does require a few hours to prepare, but your freezer does most of the work. I'll usually prepare this the night before I serve it so that it's icy, but not too hardened from being in the freezer for more than a day.
As for flavoring it, you can use just about any liquid as the base: fruit and citrus juices, alcohol (in moderation), coconut milk, zest, herbs, etc. If you can dream it up, then you can probably mix and freeze it. The mix must be sweetened with a liquid sweetener, so a simple syrup (sugar dissolved in an equal amount of water; see recipe below) is most often seen used to make this, as well as honey and agave nectar.
For this iteration, I flavored my granita with grapefruit, lemon and bubbly. Even though I call this a "Champagne" granita, you can certainly use cheap sparkling wine. Keep in mind that if you use a sweeter sparkling wine (like Asti), you'll probably want to add less simple syrup. Also, be sure that your juice ratio is greater than the amount of wine and sugar combined. Alcohol and sugar inhibits some of the freezing process, so a mixture with too much of either will result in a watery, slushier granita. If you opt for hard liquor, don't use more than a few ounces.
So when the mercury starts to rise, whip up this cold Italian treat to impress your guests (or to keep all to yourself).
