For me 9/11 at first was the beginning of the end – but eventually it led to a new phase as the life spiral folded and opened up again towards new territories. I spent the days following 9/11 holed up in my apartment pouring my impressions on to the synthesizer which resulted in a CD, SOSWTC… The piece remained actually untitled for a long time, as the sounds themselves remained unpitched, as if a stated pitch was inadequate to describe the unfathomable – the sounds were to me a writhing metal mass being thrown into the air. Meanwhile, the 'official' music of 9/11 was mostly and adequately sentimental. A good web site to visit or revisit is the Kalvos & Damian tribute to 9/11 at http://www.kalvos.org/tragedy.html, where a wide range of composers have contributed pieces.
Now that five years have passed, we have a different take on downtown Manhattan. I went on a pilgrimage to the World Trade Center area, no longer a ground zero but a mysterious and closely guarded no-man's land – there is very little that one can see through the thick metal gates. Is there construction going on? You really can't tell, except for the construction worker I caught, sunbathing on a bench on his lunch break, in one of the new adjoining parks where a too-cheery sculpture in the shape of an oversized metallic-red grape sat in the middle of a fountain.
For your information, I am reproducing the 9/11 address from Mayor Bloomberg, following below. Some of the comments are rather interesting, especially about Lower Manhattan. Reality explains a lot of things, doesn't it?
September 8, 2006
MAYOR BLOOMBERG DELIVERS REPORT ON LOWER MANHATTAN AND NEW YORK CITY'S PROGRESS FIVE YEARS AFTER 9/11
The Following Is the Text of Mayor Bloomberg's Remarks As Delivered
"It's a pleasure to welcome to New York so many journalists from so many nations; there are reporters here from something like 35 countries, as well as five boroughs. And I would urge those of you who do not live here to spend a little bit of time in all five boroughs, and you will find probably more people living in those boroughs from your country than live in the biggest city in your country. There are very few exceptions where that's not true. I happen to be the mayor of the largest Irish city in the world, and the largest Jewish city in the world, and probably the largest Sri Lankan city in the world. It's really quite amazing – the diversity of New York City.
"And New York City continues to grow. This decade we will add something like 325,000 people to our population. It's at a record high and continues to grow. So, and these people come from every place around the world and you'll hear every language, you'll find every cuisine, we practice every religion. Welcome to New York. You will find that our home is your home.
"Anyway, a little more serious. For New Yorkers, the fifth anniversary of 9/11 does bring back a flood of memories – and this week you'll see a lot of that on display. There are memories of sorrow, and also memories of extraordinary acts of courage and compassion that marked that day and the period after it.
"We also vividly recall the outpouring of sympathy and support that we received from governments and from people around the globe.
"We will never forget how the world came to our aid. And we have tried very hard, whenever there's been a disaster elsewhere in the world, to have New Yorkers assist and try to say 'thank you' by doing the same for others that they came here and did for us.
"The horror that took place here on 9/11 was felt by people everywhere and it was captured by the front page headlines. In one major Italian daily newspaper that described the events of 9/11 as 'An Attack on America and an Attack on Civilization.' And I think that really is true. The attack took place here, it took place in New York, but the values that we have that caused people to attack us were values that a lot of people in this world and a lot of countries have.
"The terrorists were striking out against civilization, and their target here, the World Trade Center, just was a symbol of a globe increasingly united by the free movement of products, ideas, and people across oceans and borders.
"That significance was more than symbolic; every day, men and women from many nations came to the World Trade Center to work and to do business.
"And on 9/11, citizens of more than 80 different nations perished in the terrorist attack here.
"We'll be reminded of that on Monday morning when, once again, the loved ones read the names of the 9/11 victims at the World Trade Center site.
"This anniversary is a time for people around the world to remember them, and to mourn the passing. 2,790-odd people were killed between what happened at the World Trade Center and Pennsylvania and in Washington, and there were another 11 killed in a bomb attack on the World Trade Center back in 1993. It's a sad time. We're here to mourn their passing, and it's also a time for New York to take stock of how far we have come since that terrible day.
"I think it's fair to say our achievements have been remarkable. On 9/11, New York City was deeply wounded.
"We experienced something that Americans thought they were immune to: massive assaults against innocent civilians, like those that the people of many other cities experienced over the course of World War Two, and like those that terrorists across the globe have inflicted in more recent years.
"The attack on our defenseless city, and the loss of more than 2,700 lives in the space of a few brief hours, really was devastating. I think that's the only word that you can use.
"And that makes our recovery over the last five years all the more remarkable. Because instead of experiencing the post-9/11 economic collapse that Al-Qaeda envisioned and that many doomsayers feared, we are stronger and safer now than we have ever been before.
"Today, as I said, our population is growing. More New Yorkers are working than any time in the history of our city. Fewer New Yorkers are on the welfare rolls than at any time since 1964.
"Consider that in our first two years of office, we faced back-to-back budget shortfalls of $5 billion and $6.5 billion – a product of the national recession, and of the tremendous economic impact of 9/11.
"But today, because of a surging economy and sound fiscal management at City Hall, we've closed the fiscal year that just ended in June with a $3.75 billion surplus.
"So, far from collapsing, New York City today is infused with a new optimism, shown by our willingness to forge solutions to the most intractable problems.
"Over the past four years, we have begun to turn around a public school system in which for far too long, too many schools were mired in failure. We really have made a difference and our school system is the future of our country and the future of the world.
"Or take housing, another example: we have launched the most ambitious affordable housing program ever undertaken by an American city – one that will create or preserve housing for half a million New Yorkers by 2013. That's equivalent to the population of Atlanta, Georgia, which is a pretty good sized city in this country.
"And soon we will unveil a new, targeted effort to help more New Yorkers move out of poverty, and realize fully the American dream.
"I think it's fair to say the prospects for our city are bright at this time.
"And that's demonstrated by the fact that before this decade is up, this city's population will be at something like 8.2 millio
n people.
"Recovery, I think, shows that Al-Qaeda's deadly plot against New York failed. Now let me discuss that recovery a little more fully for those of you that don't live here and don't see the changes that have tak
en place in our city.
"Our recovery's cornerstone has been our remarkable success in enhancing public safety in the post-9/11 world.
"All of you who were in New York five years ago remember that sense of dread that followed 9/11.
"Our city's economy in recession and our city hemorrhaging jobs – and with anxiety about further terrorist attacks hanging in the air – many people really did believe, and the newspapers were full of stories, that we would not be able to maintain the gains in safety that had been achieved during the 1990s.
"But in short, people thought crime was going to go up. And the truth of the matter is we proved them wrong. Today, crime in New York is nearly 22% lower than it was at this time in 2001. Crime is down in every single major category. New York is safer than every other major city in the nation, and also safer than 9 out of every 10 smaller cities as well.
"And we've accomplished that even though today there are some 4,000 fewer officers assigned to ordinary patrol duties than were back in 9/11. In part, that's because of the attrition that reduced the Department's headcount by 3,000 officers during the 2002 and 2003 years when we had our budget problems.
"And it's also in part due to the fact that we have assigned 1,000 of our police officers to duties in the NYPD's nationally acclaimed counter-terrorism and intelligence division.
"Today, we recognize that as New York's population grows, our police force has to grow as well, and this year, we are adding 1,200 more police officers to the streets.
"The bottom line is we have a mission today that we didn't have before: intelligence and counter-terrorism. We have our own police officers around the world working with intelligent services in other cities. We have fewer police officers on the streets just because of the economics, and yet we've brought crime down in every single major category – overall, 22% in the last five years. And there was nobody who predicted that.
"And we're doing that – we take these duties very seriously of protecting people on the streets from common crime as well as from terrorism. We have 17 New York City detectives assigned to the Federal-City-State Joint Terrorism Task Force. We had 17 back in 9/11. To show you where we are today, we have 120.
"The bottom line is we live in a different world than we lived in back on 9/11, or at least than we thought we lived in on 9/11. And we have to keep the people of New York City safe from outside forces, as well as from those who live here.
"In 2002, we also overhauled the NYPD's intelligence division, transforming it primarily from a dignitary protection unit to a robust intelligence-gathering and analysis sector.
"Over the past four and a half years, we have dispatched some of our best detectives to nine cities beyond our nation's borders to improve our forward defense, as we call it, against terror. The NYPD now has officers posted in London, and Madrid, and Singapore, and Tel Aviv, and Amman, and other cities.
"Here in New York, intelligence detectives regularly monitor the sale of services and products that might be useful to terrorists, and have established a closer relationship with corporate private security directors.
"The NYPD's 'Operation Atlas' has stepped up security in the Financial District as well as at our landmarks and at key parts of our infrastructure. And that includes the heavily armed and highly mobile Hercules teams, as we call them, that are rapidly deploy throughout the city.
"We have also thoroughly revised the intelligence and counter-terrorism training of our officers in all boroughs, providing them with the latest and best equipment.
"Our counter-terrorism efforts have also been enhanced by vastly improved coordination among our emergency response agencies.
"One of the most important lessons learned from 9/11 was that our emergency responders require the best available access to inter-operable communications and information in the field.
"And to that end, we have brought all of our first responder agencies onto a common radio frequency band, so that voice communication can take place when it's needed among police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians.
"And early on, we made it standard operating procedure for fire chiefs to be able to ride in police helicopters at major fires, so they can provide information and direction to firefighters on the ground – and that was something that didn't exist five years ago.
"We've also put in place a 'Citywide Incident Management System' – called 'CIMS' – and it clearly spells out the division of responsibility and chain of command for the FDNY and NYPD, and establishes joint command posts at major incidents where both must respond. Remember hundreds of times a day, both our police officers and firefighters show up at locations to protect this city, and they work together. It's the big incidents that you want to make sure there is a clear chain of command. And by having this agreement in advance and training continuously in advance, we've shown time and again since 9/11 that the coordination that gets you the best safety and the quickest response really is in place.
"Our Office of Emergency Management also has taken the lead in increasing our capacity to plan for and respond to any emergency – natural or man-made, accidental or intentional.
"There are a whole variety of things that we have to be ready to respond to, and we try, to the extent possible, imagine what those would be, figure out what we would do if they occurred in different places, at different times of the day, different weather conditions, different times of the year, and make sure that we know what we do and talk about it in advance.
"We have organized and managed dozens of inter-agency simulations and exercises that have, for example, tested responses to attacks using employing bio-terrorism and other weapons of mass destruction, or natural disasters – a hurricane or an enormous snowstorm – communications or power failure.
"All of these exercises have been aimed at improving coordination across City, State and Federal lines, and with key private sector players as well.
"To sum up: our achievements in fighting crime on the streets are measurable and incontrovertible. Our success in combating terrorism is, by definition, harder to quantify, but unmistakably clear. We know that the NYPD has succeeded in disrupting a number of possible attacks, including one aimed at the Brooklyn Bridge.
"What we do know is that we have to remain vigilant and prepared to do whatever it takes to keep our city safe.
"And we also appreciate that our commitment to safety has persuaded businesses to remain in New York or locate to New York, and it really has been a major factor in the city's economic recovery, our city's economic growth.
"You can see that recovery, economic growth in virtually every sector of our city.
"For example, tourism: if you go back to right after 9/11, nobody was going to come to New York ever again. Well last year, we welcomed more than 42 million visitors to our city – it was a new record. This year we expect to do even better. Our hotel occupancy and room rates are at historic highs and our airports are packed. If you tried to come through our airports, I'm sorry, but, all this traffic, that what it gets you.
"Film and television production – another key industry – is experiencing robust growth. Last year, we hosted more than 350 film and television productions right here in New York City.
"Construction is
booming. Building permits have increased by nearly 30% since 2001, and are at an all-time high.
"Our commercial real estate market is also hot – fueled in part by the increasing number of Fortune 500 companies now making their headquarters in New York, and that's reversing a decades-long exodus from our city.
r />"As the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, companies that after 9/11 were contemplating leaving New York once their leases were up today are clamoring for more space as the number of employees they have in the city continues to climb.
"The perception of New York among these employers, the Journal wrote, has changed from our being 'a place to fear to a place they have to be.' And I think you couldn't say that any better.
"In fact, one of our most urgent needs is to increase New York City's supply of modern office space. That's why we've made a major priority of rezoning and redeveloping Downtown Brooklyn, Flushing in Queens, and the Hudson Yards area on Manhattan's West Side.
"That's a major part of our strategy to bring jobs and opportunity to all five boroughs – and our success in doing so is demonstrated by the fact that New York City's Gross City Product – our GCP as we call it – is expected to be more than $442 billion this year—a new all-time high. That's $442 billion.
"Lower Manhattan's recovery is a key part of New York's future. Today, five years after 9/11, that recovery is well underway.
"It even began before the last fires at the World Trade Center site were extinguished. Then, it was conservatively estimated that the clean-up of the site – an unprecedented job – would take a year. In fact, it was completed in far less time, with the last rubble removed from the site in May 2002.
"In the days immediately following 9/11, City, State, and Federal leaders came together with Downtown business leaders to create a framework for transforming Lower Manhattan into a true 21st century downtown – a vibrant and attractive commercial and residential community.
"The process of implementing that plan has not always been smooth or seamless, or moved at the pace that we would like.
"But the fact remains that today, more than $30 billion is being invested in public and private construction that is concentrated in one square mile from the World Trade Center site north to Canal Street.
"It's the largest concentration of construction activity in New York history – and it is completely consistent with the vision for Lower Manhattan that we articulated in December, 2002.
"By the year 2011, nearly every street south of Chambers Street will have been rebuilt. Almost $10 billion worth of mass transit projects will have been completed or be nearing completion. They include new ferry terminals, a major new subway hub, and Santiago Calatrava's spectacular new PATH station at the World Trade Center site, for which we broke ground a year ago.
"We also expect Congressional approval this fall of $1.75 billion for a direct rail link from Lower Manhattan to Kennedy Airport.
"Today, $1 billion is being invested in cultural institutions and museums, including the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum, which we broke ground for last month.
"We are investing more than $300 million to create or enhance 20 Downtown parks and public spaces, as well as a beautiful new ring of green along the tip of Lower Manhattan, opening up the Hudson and East River waterfronts to the public.
"Our Downtown residential population is booming. If you remember back, right after 9/11, there was nobody that was ever going to want to live Downtown. Well since 2002, 10,000 apartments have been created; and by 2011, there will be another 7,000 apartments build downtown.
"That means five years from now nearly 70,000 people will live in Lower Manhattan – double the number that lives there today, and more than triple the number who lived there on 9/11.
"To serve these new residents, and Downtown workers and visitors, by 2011 there will also be 800,000 square feet of new retail space.
"Combined, all of these investments are making Lower Manhattan a more attractive place to live and do business – and as a result, businesses are expanding and relocating to New York's historic birthplace. For those of you who don't know, New York City started in Lower Manhattan. There were people that never thought anybody would live north of Canal Street. Today they do live north of Canal Street, but what's happening is a resurgence of people wanting to live down right where New York was started.
"Companies were going to leave Downtown. Well go down and take a look at Goldman Sach's new building. They're building a $2 billion new headquarters building at the World Financial Center. It's the first new corporate headquarters to be built downtown in decades.
"Today, the vacancy rate for office space in Lower Manhattan is 11.9% – compared to better than 20% just across the river in northern New Jersey. It's really quite an amazing performance.
"In five years from now, 12.5 million square feet of new Class "A†office space in Lower Manhattan will be completed or nearing completion. That will include the four towers to be built at the World Trade Center site – the designs for three of which were unveiled just yesterday. So take a look in the papers; there are three beautiful buildings which will make an enormous difference.
"We are, in short, I think it's fair to say well on our way to rebuilding and reinventing Lower Manhattan, so that it in the 21st century, it – and our entire city – will be a place that draws people from around the world to live, and to work, and to contribute to a better world.
"Over the past five years, we've really have made extraordinary strides in realizing that vision – a vision of freedom and progress that the terrorists can never extinguish.
"Today, every indication is that our city is moving in the right direction. Let me leave you with these contrasts:
"In the dark months after 9/11, unemployment in our city climbed to, and eventually reached 8.6%. Today, because of our success in creating new jobs and opportunity, it's at 6%.
"Just four years ago, fewer than 40% of public students were performing at or above grade level in reading, writing, and math. Today, that's more than 50% are performing at that level.
"And five years ago, anxiety plagued our city. Today, we remain the undisputed safest big city in the United States.
"Over the past five years, we've made the hard decisions, but I think history shows we've made the right ones. And because we have, New York's best days are yet to come.
"Over the next three years and three months while I remain in office, I look forward to helping make those best days a reality for all New Yorkers.â€

Turning the Big 3-0!
In a few weeks I will be turning 3-0. I don't think that turning is the right word for it as much as becoming 30. I have survived my twenties and I have learned many lessons. I have spent cold loney nights lost in desperation.
I have seen the completion of my college education and graduation. I have moved away from my home town in search of a dream and never realized just how hard it would be. I've seen horrible things happen and wonderful things abound. I am still here to tell the story. I play the game everyday with every piece in my toolbox and let the dice fall where they may.
I've been told I'm too dramatic, animated, spoiled, wierd, and been ignored by so called friends, family, and an absent father, but I am loved by too many to care. I've been stalked by at least one person who refused to let go after an ill fated romance. I have gained 20 pounds of belly fat that refuses to leave my side (talk about a real friend). I have realized that Life is Life you take the good with the bad, the bitter with the sweet.
I am thankful for each day and I take it day by day. I live in the present, appreciate the past, and look forward to the future. I love life! I am humbled by all the experiences that God grants me. One day you are down and out without so much as a hint of a better tomorrow and the next you're are driving off the dealer's lot with a brand new 2014 Volkswagen Jetta! When it seems that all is lost, God always has another way, another plan, another place, and a way of escape. I've been so low that I had to look up to tie my own shoes. God is faithful to complete the goood work that he began in you!

by Hollion
My sister and I had an 8 hour layover in the wee hours of the morning at this airport. Being here for the first time, I searched on this website and read a review about there being a bench in one of the D gates. We found no bench and ended up sleeping on the floor behind some seats. In the morning we decided to walk to our gate, and discovered that the C gates have cushioned armrest-less seats. The C16 area.. The C12 area... My back is sad but hopefully someone else gets to sleep here!"

There were few powerful women in mid-19th century America who more vigorously pressed the case first for abolition and then for the education, housing, and welfare of freed African-American slaves than did Mrs. Lincoln.
In honor of these wise women, we've compiled a list of some of the nation's former First Ladies (and grandmothers and mothers-in-law) and their contributions to a better planet.

I am researching William FOLKS, born about 1790 in North Carolina, and his descendents. I don't have his parents names, but two brothers were Sherwood and Dred. There were other siblings. William married Mary McCLUSKY, probably born in Tennessee. Information on the McClusky family would also be appreciated. |

Yay! Am so happy you have an entry in! Is that top right (the fire engine photo) the water squad? Your entry number is #31. Wish you the best in the draw, which will be July 3rd after the contest ends. It ends on the 2nd.
(TNChick - Yes, it is a firetruck from Sabreeze - an amusement/water park a few miles from where I live. Thanks for sponsoring the contest.)

People stopped complaining about BFT and Black Cleaver, they are complaining about "OP" champions now instead. Classic.
A Slime Appears
So you made a thread to complain about people complaining. huehuehue
TCWA Tigerbite
You must be looking at old topics. I see no complaints!
You must be new here.
I don't think you realize that this forum was pretty much always like that in lieu of super OP items ( and even then people complained about Sweeper and FH!)
hmm could i complain here about people complaining that people complain to much or would i be complaining to much if i where to complain about people complaining about people complaining about champions while they where previously complaining about people who complain about BFT ?!?!
crystal scar aura has been nerfed this is a portent of the end of days

General Information
If you would like to suggest a topic of interest for this site then please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If the request is likely to be of interest to our other visitors then we will consider producing an Information
Page on the topic.
A ram extruder is an extruder where, instead of extrusion screw, a ram or plunger is used . The ram extruder was the earliest extruder to be used in the plastics industry. This typical process is applied for producing profiles, sleeves, rod, block, tubing, lining sheet bars, etc. The ram extrusion process is very effective for specific materials like PTFE which are not extruded successfully using screw extruder.
In this process plastic material in powder form is gravity fed into a chamber. In the extrudating chamber the resin powder is heated on sintering temperature. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, becomes gelatinous as it melts so it can be extruded with this type of processes. A hydraulic ram pushes the resin materials like PTFE, UHMW, etc. from the chamber to the die. The die actually gives the shape of the desired plastic like a rod, tube or a profile shape with the requisite internal or outer diameter. When the material comes out of the die, it moves the length of the conveyor. The profiles can be manufactured endlessly and cut by the continuous extruding of each length.
Types of Machines
There are two types of ram extrusions- the vertical ram extrusion and the horizontal ram extrusion. Whatever be the type of ram extrusion, the resin feed, compaction or performing, sintering and cooling are all the same. But the extrudates quality depends on various parameter like the design of the extruder, powder properties, extrusion rate, pressure and temperature.
Nowadays, high quality mechanically engineered extrusion machines are available in the market that are highly innovative in its application. Fully automated systems are also available. Advanced range of machines ensures precision both in the pressing procedure and in the sinter zone. By adjusting the pressure and speed of the ram extruder every individual profile can be extruded perfectly. Also, temperature controls are also provided.

The human specie is the worse beast that ever roamed the planet. From the time humans were able to used their intellect to developed tools and weapons, he divested the earth and the splendors of its natural resources to extinction.
The sad and tragic story of Satao is not just the story of one elephant. It is the sad and tragic lost of the essence of humanity. It is not just the inability of one President, but it is the inability of all of us, who just sat comfortably and pretended that tragic consequences for the animals in the wild is never for real.
It is not just the lost for Kenya either. It is the story of for ever lost humanity, and the sad and tragic lost for rest of the world.

Before a contract is ever signed, Maveric Designs start doing their homework. We come to your office — or you come to ours — and we listen to you talk. The guys who will actually be doing the work sit down and talk with you about your project.
We will ask a few questions and we'll probably toss out a few ideas, but our main goal is just to sit and listen. As you can imagine, it's pretty difficult to give you an accurate cost estimate if we aren't really sure what you want to do, so we do our best to get all the details from you.
Then we go brainstorm. We take a long, hard look at what will be required to make your vision a reality, and we come back to you with a proposal.
Once the contract is signed, there is still a lot of homework to do. The team at Maveric Designs compiles a list of all of the content and functionality that you want the site to have, because we can't really design a site when we don't know what it will contain.
Then, we do a good bit of competitive analysis. We look at the sites of other companies you identify as your competitors, and we look at others that you probably didn't think of, just to make sure we aren't missing anything important. Sometimes that analysis confirms what we're already thinking, and sometimes we start to see a few trends that you may not have considered. If we need to rethink anything, this is the perfect time to do that.
Once we've developed a list of specifications, we create a simple site map showing the overall site hierarchy. If the site has any complex functionality, and especially if we're building a custom application, we will also create charts that show how users flow through various paths on the site — things like registering for accounts, updating profiles, checking out, etc. We have to know what the site will do before we even think about how it will look.

When your passion and your profession decide to merge, it makes for a prodigious and illustrious combination. Interior designer Umbareen A. Ihtesham finds herself in a similar situation as she partners with old friends and family members to bring to life a long cherished dream and it materialises in the form of a home décor store in Banani called Home.Works. Although she and her brother Anadilran had a small corner at the Banani Hallmark store, it had been their dream to open a store together and when an appropriate location came up in Banani, she, along with childhood friends Sameera and few others who went on to become partners in the business, put their heads together to realise this long-seated dream of theirs. Whilst one partner Farhan took over the construction plans of the store, another partner Nilufar designed the floral decked ceiling that greets customers once they enter the premises. It is a labour of love which is evident to all those who visit the store.
Home.Works places much emphasis on aesthetics and it is designed as such -- a floral ceiling welcomes you into the well-lit staircase that takes you into the store. A home décor cum consultation store, you will find a wide array of products here from candle stands, wall hangings, a long product line of fragrances (scented candles, oils, etc.), lamps, mirrors, vases, paintings, chandeliers, small home fixtures such as stools, cabinets, bins and so on. Their specially sourced mirrors and small kitchen cabinets sell like hot cakes. On offer also are kitchen accessories that include ornate cupcake holders, delicately designed spatulas, spoons and bowls. Table runners are matched with exclusive centre pieces for the dining table as well to add some oomph to your dinner parties. These are imported by the owners from China, Malaysia, India and Singapore. Not only does the store offer some unique products at very reasonable prices, they offer exclusive items that you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else as they are painstakingly procured from different sources. Another unique selling point for the store is that they offer consultations for interior decorations, manage events such as birthdays and parties, take on landscaping projects and design rooftop gardens. If it is unique products you look for without causing a dent in your wallet then head over to House 8, Road 27, Block K, Banani and find yourself splurging on the sui generis product line that Home.Works boasts.

There's a Bullet Shortage, Get Ready for the Apocalypse
Categories: News
The Orlando Sentinel story on the matter at least presents another angle to the gun craze: The poor economy increases fear of crime. But some of the quotes reveal a deeper reason.
"The survivalist in all of us comes out," said John Ritz, manager of East Orange Shooting Sports in Winter Park. "It's more about protecting what you have."Meaning, we'll soon be living in a postapocalyptic world where we shoot each other for food and use the leftover entrails for warmth and human molars as currency. And those who fill their two-car garages wall to wall with boxes of ammo will be king.
