In October 2005, British metal mainstays BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE laid solid foundations with their epochal debut album, "The Poison". An unparalleled and enduring career has since followed, and in doing so the group changed the landscape and supercharged the trajectory of alternative music. 2005 saw the Welsh metallers graduate from supporting FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND on their U.K. run in the summer to ending the year headlining the very same venues just months later. That meteoric rise saw the album hit number 21 in the U.K. album charts, becoming a late contender in end of year polls, placing at number seven on Kerrang!'s "Albums Of The Year" list, and since achieving gold status. An album still boasting enduring impact, Metal Hammer listed the album in the top 25 in their recent "The Greatest Metal Albums Of The Century."

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
