Grand Hyatt Denver Launches $28 Million Dollar Redesign
Grand Hyatt Denver Launches $28 Million Dollar Redesign
Preview our $28-million Grand Hyatt Denver Redesign, click here for additional information.
Lobby, Guest Rooms, Conference Center and the Renowned Pinnacle Club All to Receive a New Look Denver, CO --- January, 2013) Greg Leonard, general manager of the AAA Four Diamond Grand Hyatt Denver, announces a $28 million redesign of the 516 room hotel located on 17th and Welton Streets. "Essentially, this is the opening of a new hotel, an industry leader, making a great property even greater", Leonard said. Grand Hyatt Denver marks its 25th anniversary with the comprehensive makeover, with planned completion in the spring of 2013.
The lobby, defined as a place to socialize and entertain, will be revitalized with stacked fireplaces embedded in chiseled stone, hand tufted rugs and a wood canopy ceiling. A distinctive onyx feature wall will be the backdrop for a sculptural root table that serves as a personalized and welcoming registration desk, presenting a new concept in how the hotel's staff greets arriving guests.
Light figures, sconces and wall coverings, flooring and more provide a décor in keeping with the iconic stature of the 38th floor Pinnacle Club, complementing its panoramic views of the city and Rocky Mountains. This is one of the only meeting facilities in the United States windowed on all four sides and presenting a 10,600 mile view that spans from Wyoming to Pikes Peak. Additional changes to meeting and event space also include the Grand Hyatt Conference Center, located on the second floor of the adjoining office tower and overlooking the 17th Street business and financial district. The hotel's lobby level Mt. Sopris meeting room receives a new look as well.
All 516 spacious guest rooms and suites will have natural material upgrades, rich textures and warm, modern furnishings that provide the framework for the newly renovated, residential-style guest rooms. The environmentally conscientious design calls to mind this Colorado destination with ceruse oak headboards, tree branch inspired accent lighting and a signature buffalo art piece adorning the wall, enhancing a color palette of Aspen tree golden hues and the cool blues of the High Plains sky.
Already complete and introduced last summer, Pub 17 on Welton Street is a 2013 Sunset Magazine Editors' Pick featuring locally sourced fare and over 50 handcrafted Colorado microbrews along with a selection of regional wines and spirits. Recent months also saw the addition of The Skycourt, a unique outdoor roof-top jogging track and tennis court, an extension of the updated indoor heated pool and 24-hour fitness center.
About Grand Hyatt Denver
Grand Hyatt Denver is ideally located in the heart of the Mile High City, a short stroll to the Colorado Convention Center and one block from the 16th Street Mall. In 2012, Grand Hyatt Denver added to its list of numerous accolades the Smart Meetings Magazine Platinum Choice Award, CVent Top 100 Meeting Hotels in the United States and Trip Advisor as well as Travelocity's awards of excellence and more.

SL cricket Doom and Gloom thread
Lets face it guys. Things are a complete and utter shambles here.
I know on the face of things NZ look pretty bad as well, but honestly its SL I'm really concerned about. I genuinely think the SLCB has done irreparable damage to their cricket. They had a golden generation and every kid in the country wanted to be Murali or Jayasuria, but the board didn't invest a dime into the sport on a grass-roots level. Its pretty easy to see what the problem with SL cricket is. Elitism on a massive scale. Almost every professional player is coming from the same elite group of schools (AKA where rich kids go), as nowhere else seems to have any actual facilities or coaching. This has screwed them massively, and if they couldn't invest in grass routes when the sport was strong, I only see things getting worse. Can see SL being below Bangladesh on the global cricket scale within three years. And I don't know what anyone can do about it. **** is sad tbh

Its not about that though. probably 99% of the kids over there have no chance of ever playing the sport professionally due to the board's antics.
Its a disgrace. They are worse than the PCB, WICB, and NZCB all tied into one |

Lankans don't seem to have the same respect for tests.
Main thing I hope is that they don't come here as anything but the undercard in future. ODIs fine but they have made the best part of our summer lacklustre because of their ****eness. |

Why don't Australia ever tour other countries during Boxing Day / NY then? This post shows you as a selfish, arrogant self-entitled ****wit who thinks the world revolves around you. I bet you're also on here complaining how the BCCI is ruining the game by chasing money? Well what do you think CA do with Boxing Day / NY? Do they give a **** about other countries? don't think so. Don't hear you whinging about that do we? |

Actually wouldn't mind if we toured SA on BD. We would get to see it at prime time and could play some Big Bash or Shield cricket during the day. Massive crowds turn up here though and they deserve a decent spectacle.
We tour SL in their season. The point is it's disappointing to have sub-standard opposition during the highlight of our cricket calendar. It's been the mid-nineties since they last toured. They were pox then and it led to a changing of the rules for bowlers. |

Gumbo has been a traditional Cajun food for generations. In its basic form, gumbo is a soup that is made from a strong stock, various meats, a thickener, and various vegetables such as celery, bell peppers, and onions. Regardless of how you prepare a gumbo, it should always be served with rice. While gumbo can be eaten at any time, many people enjoy it during cold weather.

For my 25th birthday, I went on a trip to Paris. Yes, this makes me just about the luckiest girl there is and my experience in France was only confirmation of that fact. I fell in love with Paris- the food, the city, the people, the pastries! All of these were enough to make me consider packing my bags and staying for good.

Could honey be substitued for agave nectar and xylitol?
Cilantro should be added after cooking has stopped. some of these ingredients are maybe a good substitute but I will rate after I make it.
I like this, but will omit the mint, not a big mint fan. But one of my mom's best recipes. Thanks for having incredients Thai people would cook with. not a bunch of weird items.
This is the 2nd time this week I've made this in the crockpot. It is so easy and tastes delicious. I eat it without any rice or noodles because I get my carbohydrates from the squash and garbanzo beans, but I make rice for the kids and they love it!
I've made this recipe several times and it's awesome!

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
From Changi airport take the MRT (underground train) to Bugis station. The airport line is only 2 stops long, so all trains change at Tanah Merah station, trains come every 5 minutes, the whole MRT journey takes about 30 mins. After midnight the MRT isn't running, but taxis are inexpensive (approx S$25 or 15 Euros) or if you're not in a hurry the shuttle buses are slow and infrequent but only about S$10. From Bugis MRT take exit B and walk up North Bridge Road (4-lane one way street, walk in opposite direction to the cars), turn right into Arab Street, then immediately left through the arch into Muscat Lane, then the 2nd small street on the right (the pretty marble-stoned pedestrian street, not the back alley service road). We're number 55 Bussorah Street.If coming overland from Malaysia, bus is much much better than train - try to get a bus that terminates at Golden Mile, from there walk 10mins down Beach Road, then turn right into Bussorah Street.
Located Near
We're in a low-rise heritage/conservation area called Bugis/Kampong Glam. In 19th century british colonial times this was the area where Arabs and Malays lived, and the area retains that flavour today, through the architecture and surrounding shops. In recent years it's become the hippest part of town for nightlife, with lots of ethnic restaurants, including morroccan, turkish, mexican, russian, 'swedish halal' etc etc, as well as a the main shisha smoking area of town.

Customer Reviews for Large Windows Gray / Black Living Room New Additions
"Best Triple Cell Blinds EVER"
By Barbie from Rowlett
First, I would like to commend BlindsGalore for making such a beautiful and well-insulating product. Triple Cell blinds are not common, and yours are so beautiful, easy to install, and keep my room cozy in the winter. Second, your staff is phenomenal. The rep. helped me each step along the way, from making the selection to measuring, to handling the order for me. Third, this is the BEST company to deal with. Period. They could not have made the experience more care-free and simple. Thank you so very much!
View this product"Simply Stunning"
By Pepper from Wildwood, MO
This is our first purchase with Blindsgalore. I was a little hesitant purchasing a custom product that had no reviews. However, I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! The look is clean, sleek, modern and ultra expensive. This product is definitely worth the price. My husband installed them and it took longer than expected, much longer. However, within 2 1/2 hours, I had a beautiful window covering for my sliding glass door.

Pesto Rice Salad
Join us in pledging your support to Fresh Week and win a Tefal Fresh Express gadget and vegbox delivery from Riverford Organic - click here to find out more
This salad can be served warm as a first course and it's extremely good as an accompaniment to fish or chicken main course dishes. Served cold it makes a lovely addition to a selection of salads for a buffet. If you can get Pecorino Romano for the pesto it has a more gutsy flavour than Parmesan but, if you can't, Parmesan will do well. Vegetarians might like to know that a vegetarian parmesan-style cheese is available from www.bookhamcheese.co.uk

This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Summer Collection and Delia's Vegetarian Collection.
To make the pesto sauce, if you have a blender, put in the basil, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil together with some salt and blend until you have a smooth purée. Then transfer the purée to a bowl and stir in the grated Pecorino cheese. If you don't have a blender, use a large pestle and mortar to pound the basil, garlic and pine nuts to a paste. Slowly add the salt and cheese, then very gradually add the oil until you have obtained a smooth purée.
Now measure the rice into a glass measuring jug, then add about one quarter of the pesto sauce to it and stir it around to coat all the grains. Tip the mixture into a shallow saucepan or frying pan with a lid and pour the boiling stock into the jug, then pour this over the rice. Now turn on the heat and stir with a wooden spoon, adding 1 level teaspoon of salt. Then, when it begins to boil, put the lid on, turn the heat down to low and let the rice cook for exactly 20 minutes.
As soon as it's ready, tip all the rice into a serving bowl, then simply pour in the lemon juice, olive oil and the remaining pesto sauce. Combine the ingredients together, stirring and tossing. At this stage taste and season with salt and pepper. Finally scatter some torn basil leaves, finely chopped spring onion and then some shavings of Parmesan over the surface of the salad as a garnish. If you want to serve the salad cold, add the basil, onion and Parmesan just before serving.

Two-Lane Blacktop [DVD]
Director : Monte Hellman
Screenplay : Rudolph Wurlitzer and Will Corry (story by Will Corry)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1971
Stars : James Taylor (The Driver), Warren Oates (G.T.O), Laurie Bird (The Girl), Dennis Wilson (The Mechanic), David Drake (Needles Station Attendant), Richard Ruth (Needles Station Mechanic), Rudy Wurlitzer (Hot Rod Driver), Jaclyn Hellman (Driver's Girl), Bill Keller (Texas Hitchhiker), Harry Dean Stanton (Oklahoma Hitchhiker)
There were a lot of similar films that followed immediately in the wake of the unexpected counterculture hit Easy Rider (1969), but none were quite like Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop. It explores many of the same themes that had exploded the American movie industry in the late 1960s--youthful alienation, loss of cultural heritage, disillusionment--all of which was set against the vast, open spaces of the American highways. Yet, Two-Lane Blacktop never caught on like Easy Rider did (perhaps because it took those themes past narrative and right into the heart of abstraction), and thus it did not share the same financial success or status as a distillation of the cultural zeitgeist.
Director Monte Hellman, a B-movie veteran from the same Roger Corman school of filmmaking that produced Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, has described Two-Lane Blacktop as "the last film of the '60s." And in many ways it is. Released in 1971, it is a definite product of the counterculture that arrived a little too late. Its obsession with cars is meant to foreground the mechanical over the human as a symbol of cultural dehumanization, but instead it foretold '50s nostalgia like American Graffiti (1973) and silly road comedies like Smokey and the Bandit (1977).
The seemingly aimless plot and nameless characters of Two-Lane Blacktop work to disguise a deeper concern and alienation that infuses even the most simple sequences. It's an existential road movie that is as confounding as it is interesting. As a whole, it is much like the souped-up '55 Chevy that is at its heart, whose bland exterior hides a racing engine. Hellman cast two musicians, folk rocker James Taylor and former Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, as social outcasts who, rather than working, travel the back highways of America looking for illegal car races in which to compete. They pick up a drifter girl (Laurie Bird) who is content to go wherever they go. Like them, she seems to have no real purpose in life, and traveling is merely a way to kill the time. One day, they agree to a cross-country race from New Mexico to Washington, DC, with a poseur (Warren Oates) who drives a yellow Pontiac GTO and wears racing gloves and a succession of colorful cashmere sweaters. The remainder of the film chronicles the strange race and all its assorted detours and delays in middle America.
Of course, Two-Lane Blacktop is not a film about plot. At best, the plot is there to serve the tone, the feeling. Hellman successfully captures the end of an era, a point that is reinforced by the final, ambiguous scene in which the film literally burns up right in front of your eyes. Because the characters don't have names or backgrounds, there is little to go on. They are simply there, filling a small amount of space in the vastness around them. The relationships are also indistinct, notably the antagonism between Taylor and Wilson's two youths and Oates' older GTO, as he comes to be known. They are racing to New York over thousands of miles, yet they constantly stop and wait for the other to catch up. It is as if neither of them wants to get too far ahead in the race, lest it cease to be exciting and combative.
Taylor and Wilson are odd, but effective choices for their roles. Both are nonactors with fairly wooden performances, and their very inappropriateness as leading men aids in their characters' general alienation from the world. This is particularly true of Taylor, whose lean face, long hair, and lanky build are not the stuff of typical leading men. Both characters are mostly silent, as if there is little worth saying. Here, the cars do all the talking.
GTO is played with world-weary perfection by Warren Oates, a veteran of Hellman's earlier revisionist Westerns Ride in the Whirlwind (1965) and The Shooting (1967). GTO is older and more aggressive than his youthful competitors. But, he is also a man with no center who doesn't seem completely comfortable in his own skin, which helps explain why he is constantly picking up hitchhikers and telling them fabricated life stories (it is interesting and a bit humorous to see how the story changes throughout the movie with each successive hitchhiker).
Ambiguous and abstract as it is, Two-Lane Blacktop is not an easy film. Despite being about auto racing, a particularly obsessive American pastime, it is a laconic picture that takes its time along an unmarked, winding route going no place in particular. Films like this don't get made anymore, which is all the more reason to grab hold of it and take it for all it's worth. It's the kind of film that gets better with multiple viewings, which is part of the reason why it gained cult status over the years. While not as distinct and obvious as Easy Rider in making its statement about the times, Two-Lane Blacktop is ultimately the more notable entry in the New American cinema of the late '60s and early '70s.
Two-Lane Blacktop Criterion Collection Director-Approved Two-Disc DVD Set | |
Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 |
Anamorphic | Yes |
Audio | |
Subtitles | English |
Supplements | |
Distributor | The Criterion Collection |
Release Date | December 11, 2007 |
Two-Lane Blacktop is presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio in a new high-def digital transfer that was taken from a four-perf 35mm interpositive struck from the original two-perf Techniscope camera negative (it was also supervised and approved by director Monte Hellman). Because the film was shot on a relatively low budget (despite being a studio film) and often uses natural lighting, the image quality tends to vary. The daylight scenes are uniformly excellent, with good detail and excellent color (the color was "pushed" in order to replicate the original, slightly oversaturated Technicolor look). The night scenes, tend to betray some noticeable grain and come across as slightly murky, although they represent the most substantial improvement over the previously available disc from Anchor Bay. The disc offers two soundtrack options: a remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track or the original Dolby monaural track. The 5.1 track expands the sound effects during the racing sequences to fill all the speakers, but for the most part keeps the rest of the sound relegated to the front soundstage. The soundtrack sounds clean, with dialogue coming through clearly, except when James Taylor mumbles. | |
Director Monte Hellman was obviously deeply involved in the creation of Criterion's director-approved two-disc set, as he appears in virtually every supplement. He contributes to one of the two audio commentaries, where he discusses the film with fellow filmmaker Allison Anders. The second commentary features screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer talking with David Meyer, who teaches cinema studies at the New School and serves as the film editor for the arts monthly Brooklyn Rail. The second disc begins with "On the Road Again: Two-Lane Blacktop Revisited," a 42-minute documentary about Hellman, his daughter, his dog, and a handful of his students from California Institute of the Arts driving across California to see a few of the locations where the film was shot (primarily the small town of Needles, California). Most of the documentary consists of Hellman in the backseat of an SUV talking about the making of the film, especially the difficulties he encountered at the studio and the reworking of the original script. Criterion has also included some intriguing new video interviews. The first interview, which runs about 38 minutes, reunites Hellman and star James Taylor for the first time in 35 years for a conversation about the film, which Taylor still claims to have never seen. In the second interview, Hellman sits down for half an hour with singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, whose version of "Me and Bobby McGee" appears on the film's soundtrack and who was originally considered for James Taylor's role. The final video interview (23 min.) includes producer Michael Laughlin and production manager Walter Coblenz talking with two writers from Variety and filmmaker Dennis Bartok. One of the most interesting supplements is the inclusion of outtake screen tests for Laurie Bird and James Taylor (part of which involves his performing "Riding on a Railroad"), which apparently haven't been seen in decades because they were just recently discovered in Hellman's garage. Car enthusiasts will love "Performance and Image," a detailed recounting by car enthusiast Walt Bailey about how he tracked down and restored one of the three '55 Chevys used in the film. Bailey's text is accompanied by numerous photographs of the car before, during, and after its restoration. Bailey then took the car across the U.S. to all the major locations used in the film, which he carefully documented. I particularly loved this because I have a special affinity for seeing how locations change and stay the same over the years. Also included with the two DVDs is a special reprinting of Rudy Wurlitzer's screenplay, which shows just how much was cut out of the original three-and-a-half-hour rough cut, and an insert book featuring a lengthy new essay by Film Comment editor Kent Jones, appreciations by Richard Linklater and Tom Waits, and a reprint of the 1970 Rolling Stone article "On Route 66, Filming Two-Lane Blacktop." |

For whatever reason Dell has taken it upon it's self to include unoffensive every day words in it's naughty words list. As I don't find these words offensive I'm often left bewildered and bemused as to which word it is that Dell are taking offense to.
To minimize frustration please highlight the "offensive" word or phrase when a post is rejected.
Status Update: With the update to IdeaStorm we have added error messaging to cover this need. Thank you for the idea!

I was steaming mad when my post got rejected for being offensive. Thought of all different reasons why and just couldn't figure it out. No way was I swearing or anything. Even after the two emails to them and very quick response emails back to me. Still not knowing why. Just that I was offensive I ended up here and here was the simple answer I was looking for to sooth me. I said " I will s_ck up the vista price." If I would have known that word was the offense.Nov 8, 2008 Comment Link
Sometimes kids know new ways to use the bad words that we didn't know about either. :)Nov 8, 2008 Comment Link
@jervis961 regarding children: They usually already know all bad words even without the need to peek over your shoulders while you are reading ideastorm :-)Nov 5, 2008 Comment Link
RE: "OFFENSIVE WORDS" - should be"…WORD PATTERNS"?: OK... Now, I am pretty much thoroughly disgusted by what seems to be the case with Dell IdeaStorm and what I thought was likely a puritanical and/or Victorian censorship attitude.
As it turns out, it seems far worse than that, if my experiences are valid. I'm not gonna bother verifying this, because after making multiple changes in the "Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser" idea, I believe that I'm right... if not, well... everyone makes mistakes. It seems based on: 1. being blocked, 2. my editing multiple times and 3. eventually seeing 'Success" re posting, that actual words are not the sole issue here. Even patterns embedded within words seem enough to block posts in a time-wasting, counter-productive and breathtakingly inane way.
My "offensive words" seemed to contain the pattern for an alternate way to describe the donkey - that is: "a-s-s", and these terrible words included such atrocities as "a-s-sertion" and "a-s-sume" - GASP! ;-O
Does that also mean that (a-s-suming the prefix "a-s-s" for the following): -ault, (as in "a-s-ault"), -emble, -embly, -ert, -ess, -et, - ign, -ignment, -ist, -istance, -ociate, -orted, -urance and -ure are equally "offensive" to Dell censors? Note that all words came out of Webster's New World Children's Dictionary (1997).
If I'm right about either or both the above paragraphs - and I really hope I'm not - the Dell employee responsible should be turfed, IMHO. One can only speculate how many staff-hours have been accumulated by Dell IdeaStrom users trying to figure out what was "offensive" in text containing some of these common words. And how many people just gave up trying to put in an idea or comment on one. And to what conceivable benefit? Is it truly possible that someone - even at Dell - at Dell is "offended" at seeing "a-s-sertion" properly written The mind truly boggles! One wonders if other patterns exist.
Please Dell fix this (a-s-suming my comment is valid.)

One N Only Argan Oil 3.4 oz.
OmayraWaldorf, MD USAGreat Product.!!!I love it. After I use One N Only Argan Oil, my hair is shiny and soft. I have no complaints.posted Jan 5, 2010Link to this post
ChavaughnPerfect!ok so after i conditioned my hair i put about half a teasppon of this oil onto my THICK CURLY hair! when i went to blow-dry it it was so silky and soft it looked like i'd gotten a relaxer! Did i mention i was african-american???????????????posted Dec 23, 2009Link to this post
AleksaGood On African American HairI recently started using Argan oil when i recieved a free sample in the mail. when I used it for the first time I instantly notice a huge difference in my hair. I no longer had dry frizzy fly away hair. It was smooth and shiny but and it wasnt weighed down. A little goes a long way with this product. In my opinon it is way better than the chi slik infusion. I can see myself using this product for yearsposted Dec 13, 2009Link to this post
JuanitaTullahoma, Tn 37388 CoffeeShinningThis is the best thing for hair. I have very thin hair. The oil look good on my hair. I will never try any other product.posted Dec 10, 2009Link to this post
RochelleReston, VALove It! Non GreasyI lvoe this hair oil its absorbs in my hair. I like Morrocan oil but its too expensive for me at $12.00 an ounce. My hair came out just as good using theis oil. I will purchase it again.posted Dec 2, 2009Link to this post
MarjorieBelleville, IL USAThis Is The Best Stuff Ever MadeI bought a bottle out of curosity before we left for a cruise. Oh my, I was so thrilled with how soft, smooth and shiny it made my hair. Previously, if I would blow-dry my hair, I had to use serum to smooth it down, then use a flat iron - so much heat - so many split ends. With the Argan Oil, I was able to let my hair air dry and use the blow dryer to turn the ends under. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!! I knew it was great when I was able to comb thru my wet hair without tangles and leaving a lot of hair in my comb. Good-bye serum.posted Dec 1, 2009Link to this post
BunnyblumTampa Bay, FL USARe: Reviewer: Janine Cole Sun Oct 11 2009Janine, Argania Spinosa Kernalis Oil the botanical name for Argan oil. Pure Argan oil is ridiculously expensive! One n Only has done a wonderful job of making a product that blends the natural oil into a great product that is actually affordable. I've been doing hair since I was just 17 yrs old, in the 20 years I have been in this business I have NEVER been so thrilled with a product! And this was the FIRST one that I ever used on every client! Its the BOMB! Where's the beef? Reviewer: Janine Cole Sun Oct 11 2009 I just purchased a trial size of this product and am looking at the ingredients and am wondering which is the argan oil out of these: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol,. C12-15, Alkyl Benzoate, Fragrance (Parfum), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Yellow 11 (CI47000), Red 17 (CI 26100)? Now I could be wrong, but it seems that they are just using the name and don't even have it in the product. I am open for correction if it is really in there (and a significant make up of the product).posted Nov 30, 2009Link to this post
KarissaBetter Than A SerumI used to use a thick clear serum in my hair and only a dime sized amount. Even then i had to be careful about keeping it away from my roots or else they would appear greasy. I just tried the argan oil and i will never use serum again. It smells better and it not only makes your hair incredibly soft (even with my damaged ends) you add a little to your hair color and it helps it last! i will always use this product!posted Nov 23, 2009Link to this post
Argan LoverWilmington, DE USAMy Daughter Wants To Marry This Product!I previously used another competitors argan oil,2 oz for $36 (on sale!!).After ordering 10 bottles,I sent 5 to my daughter.I thought she could give them as Christmas presents to her college room mates. Wrong! She is in love with One n Only. She was never able to brush through fresh, washed hair, only rip and damage through it. With only one small drop rubbed in the palm of her hands, she was able to work it thru her wet hair and glide her hairbrush complete through without any knots or breakage.She told me that there is "NO WAY" she was parting with the 5 bottles. We both love the scent and use it on dry hair inbetween washings.One n Only softens your hair tremendously.It has helped with the condition of both our hair using ceramic/tourmaline flat irons.What a huge difference this fantastic,reasonably priced product has made. Ladies,what an inexpensive gift to give to your daughters and friends, they will be forever greatful to you for it!posted Nov 11, 2009Link to this post

Relentlessly pursued by creditors, King Kong fought to his bitter tragic end rather than submit to high
interest fees for his unpaid bills. It all began when the exhibit of King Kong became unprofitable due to
his continuous gorging on exotic foods and fermented fruit juices imported from Asia and Africa during the
off-hours he was not busy entertaining the curious public. After numerous bills went unpaid and King Kong's
manager absconded to an undisclosed location in South America, the services of a professional collection
agency were sought. The Boomerang Brothers, a newly formed company of Australian immigrants eager to
prove their mettle, eagerly took the case to make a name for themselves in the Big Apple. The Boomerang
Brothers were so persistent in hounding the brutish welsh that King Kong went apeschitt and climbed to the
top of the Empire State Building to escape their reach. What King Kong did not know was that the Boomer-
ang Brothers had been anticipating such a desperate ascension and were fully prepared. They launched
airplanes, several of which pulled large banners advertising their services and low-payment plans, for the
Boomerang Brothers could not pass up a golden opportunity for free public advertising during a citywide
crisis with countless eyewitnesses looking skyward, and their other airplanes were armed with machine
guns to be used with extreme simian prejudice if King Kong refused to pay up fast. All King Kong had to do
was press his thumb print onto a passing banner flown by his face in acceptance to begin negotiations at
ground level, and the financial dispute would be amicably resolved. However, when King Kong lashed out
at one of the airplanes and sent the pilot plummeting to his fiery death, the great ape made his greatest
blunder. The remaining pilots were ordered to shoot him down pronto because nobody no matter how big
or important ever messes with the Boomerang Brothers and gets away with it because their payback will
always return to the guilty source. Once King Kong's fallen lifeless body had been examined and photo-
graphed by New York City police, the Boomerang Brothers realized they needed reimbursement for their
costly expenses, so they decided to sell the gigantic gorilla's corpse before the flies and rats got first dibs.
King Kong's flesh was butchered and sold to elite New York restaurant chefs as "exotic bush meat" and
was very popular; his thick hide was cut and made into fashionable boots, wallets, purses, belts and other
leather items; his long hairs were woven into durable dirt resistant coats, hats and rugs; his monstrous
skeleton was sold to an eccentric multimillionaire collector as the center exhibit in his private primate
museum; his internal organs were sold to pet food manufacturers who canned them as culinary canine
delights in high demand by New York dog owners, and his remaining body parts were discreetly sold to
Chinese restaurants. Although the Boomerang Brothers recouped their costs by selling King Kong's king
size muscles, skin and bones, they were completely surprised when an agent from China offered them
precious jewels, gold and silver to buy King Kong's ding-dong, coveted by a wealthy old Chinese emperor
who desired more yang than yin. The sale of King Kong's ding-dong was so profitable that the Boomerang
Brothers sold their business to the Mafia and joined up with a far more lucrative business, Goldman Sachs.

Twinlabs Lysine 500mg cap
Product is good. I like the capsule. Get that coldsore feeling or any herpes type situation? Take Lysine. It has helped me 100% of the time hands down especially if I catch it before it erupts into that painful thing - it never makes it to the sorry, painful state. Even if I'm a little late, the heal time is shortened considerably. This is what I do. I take a Lysine on empty stomach a couple times a day until the feeling passes, If you started late, just take it until the sore is healed. If it feels like it's coming back take it another day. I like the capsules because it's easier to swallow - Sylvia

It started in a house on 112th Street on Thursday afternoon and spread to the surrounding houses.
Authorities say about 175 firefighters worked for an hour and 20 minutes to extinguish the flames.
FDNY Deputy Fire Chief John Esposito said the blaze was a three-alarm fire, but the fourth alarm was triggered for relief purposes.
"It being very hot today, the hot weather is very taxing on the firefighters later in the afternoon, the hotter part of the day. So we had a high turnover of firefighters at the fire," he said.
The chief also said one civilian had minor injuries.
Fire marshals were still investigating the cause of the fire late Thursday, but officials believed it may have started in a rear deck.

of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

Simisage (All-Out Attacker) (QC 0/3)
Thumbs up for Simisage? I know this Pokemon sucks generally, but there has been one set that I have used pretty effectively lately. This is my first indicidual set thing so if the format is wrong, I apologize. One more reject and this is gone though. [SET] name: All-Out Attacker move 1: Leaf Storm move 2: Focus Blast move 3: Hidden Power Rock / Hidden Power Ice move 4: Giga Drain item: Life Orb ability: Gluttony nature: Timid evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Why this deserves to be on-site

im disappointed that this hasn't received any checks yet, I find this set intriguing. I'll try it out as soon as I get steady internet back, i think HP Ice has more viability than HP Rock overall though. Only testing will tell. I'd like other QC members to check this set as well.

Skylight sucks
Just out of curiosity, why are you using Gluttony over Overgrow? In the event of it getting onto low health (Those defences though :x). You're not really using a berry so I'd much rather prefer the Overgrow boost to Giga Drain / Leaf Storm.
EDIT - Justy realised OVergrow isn't released Could Expert Belt be used? seems like it has solid coverage Also, maybe HP Fighting (assuimng it hits anythiing significant harder?) Last edited by FireMage; Oct 7th, 2012 at 2:48:08 PM. |

I'm really unsure on this set, it isn't bad, but I think it would be better to just slash Leaf Storm with Nasty Plot on the NP set, since they play similarly (when I play with the Simi's I only boost when I know I can get a sweep). How does this play differently from the NP set to deserve its own set?

PM/VM me for an NU rate! Also part of NU QC VM me for a check!
I'm not sure why I'd use this set over NP tbh. I mean yeah it has a powerful Leaf Storm but thats really not the best move to be locked into when Amoonguss is absolutely everywhere. Not to mention it gives one of the biggest threats in the tier, SubBU Braviary, free set up. I really don't see the point of this set so unless I can be convinced of it(good reasons, logs, etc) I'm gonna have to give this set a no for the time being.

This set would have been more viable before Regenerator Amoonguss was released, but with it being the most popular defensive Pokemon in the tier (and it also being notoriously hard to trap and eliminate), I'm also doubting the viability of Leaf Storm over Nasty Plot. Choice Specs in particular is a terrible idea given that Simipour's STAB attack is easy to switch into, especially with Leaf Storm's drawback, and that its coverage moves are also easily exploitable (Focus Blast lets Musharna / Gardevoir set up, gives Haunter a free Sub, etc, while Hidden Power is set up fodder for a whole mess of things) . For comparison, I highly doubt even Choice Specs Sceptile would see much use in the metagame due to the plethora of both defensive and offensive responses available to it on most teams. Leaf Storm admittedly has a niche of hitting fast offensive switch-ins, that would normally be able to abuse Simisage's tendency to setup immediately, very hard. However, I don't think that's enough to warrant more than a sentence or two of discussion in OO.
It's a shame, because I used a set very similar to this in the Winter 2011 metagame, and it was great. Sadly, the metagame has really turned against Simisage and offensive Grass-types in general. The only terribly successful candidates at the moment are Exeggutor, which has a powerful super effective STAB vs Amoonguss, and Ludicolo, which is largely known as a Water-type with a great secondary STAB option. I'm flat out rejecting Choice Specs, and while the Life Orb set is good, Leaf Storm is the only difference, and you can sum up the change to Simisage's playstyle in a few sentences, tops. It's worth an SCMS edit, but not much more imo. QC REJECTED 2/3 (I thought we needed three rejections in the past?) Last edited by erisia; Oct 7th, 2012 at 4:37:17 PM. |

Life Orb set is actually decent etc and I think playing hit-and-run is so much better than boosting mainly because NP Simisage gets equally owned by Amoonguss?
You guys are talking about flaws of Simisage, not the flaws of this set. NP set has little chance to set up anyways, so why not give it an extra option of a hit-and-run play? Yeah if this has Specs as main option, I am giving it a reject 3/3. Only giving it a second chance for the LO set
Oct 7th, 2012, 5:19:44 PM | #9 |
I'm a leaf on the wind; watch how i soar
I agree with Amarillo. I don't think this deserves its own set, but it should be combined with Nasty Plot at the very least.
With Amoonguss around, a boosting grass-type that can't even hurt it at +2 doesn't sound very effective. Choice Specs shouldn't be mentioned, but a LO 4 attack set is probably more effective than the NP set in this meta. I still need to test it more before knowing for sure, but please test the set before rejecting it. |

Okay, I'm making Life Orb the only option here.
If it gets merged with the NP set that's fine too tbh. I agree that they don't play that much differently. I see how Specs sucks now as well.

why not just do a revamp of this analysis? i'm pretty sure we can all agree that subseed simisage is bad and a few qc members think that np and all-out-attacker should be merged. i think so too.
the overview of the old analysis is not so great; it just talks about how simisage compares with other grass-types. it barely talks about anything else besides its high speed and nasty plot |

Yeah, overall I think just doing a revamp with the above set would be a good idea. Nasty Plot can either be slashed with Leaf Storm or OO material depending on your opinion. As stated, the overview needs re-doing, and the C&C needs some work as well.

Sorry about the late post.
I guess I will try out a Revamp at Simisage - it seriously is hindered by Amoonguss and needs to be written with that in mind, but can be effective otherwise. I'm going to do a seperate thread for the revamp. When that skeleton gets this should probably be moved to L&O. But yeah I'm perfectly fine with doing a revamp.

I loved Skyfall thought they did a really good job with it! Loved the gritty feel of it. Also liked Casino Royale but quantum of solace was horrible.
Overall Bond though my picks would be Goldeneye, World is not enough, Spy who Loved me and for your eyes only.
I'm a big fan but love them all.
started rewatching all the Bond films in order. Watching one every weekend cause that's all I have time for really. But really enjoying this. Watched the first 4 so far.

Could there been anything more disgusting than watching the Dems slobber over the PIAPS during her recent testimony?
Politics aside for a moment - sometimes you´ve just got to sympathize with Bill Clinton. While giving her testimony Miss Hillary managed to personify every single attribute that turns a man off in a woman, and any that could possibly turn a man on was utterly lacking. Imagine being married to this Robot of Chill, this Diametric Opposite of Sensuality, this Cheese Grater of Anti-Femininity. It´s amazing Bill hasn´t had hundreds of more affairs than he´s had. Poor guy.When Kerry takes over her job, there really won´t be much of a gender change at the head of State.
I have concluded that the Republicans, whose principal activity seems to be serving as a foil to the ruthless, relentless progress of the Commiecrats, are too lazy or too stupid to learn from a trenchant column like this one. Very likely, they are both.
"...Obama was happy to watch the country argue new limits on free expression and the necessity of giving bloodthirsty savages and terrorists a heckler's veto on what Americans can do or say. Clinton was in on that lie, and that makes all the difference in the world."Best point made yet about this farce. And the entire MSM was in on it, too. And by the way, the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
1, the sight of PIAPS smirking while the Dim senators/reps laid it on thick was nauseating. What a hideous woman.
Great post #2. You have encapsulated the utter emptiness of the liberal worldview, and how pitiful their existence actually is.
I sometimes watch committee hearings on Cspan. I am unable to bear this one.
Every word, gesture and question posed by Democrats was written and rehearsed. I watched the spectacle in total disgust. Half of The American People are, blind, deaf and DUMB!
After three months of planning on what to say and how to say it, she artfully dodged every question they asked which were few. The Democrats showered her with sickening praise which really turned off the viewers. They did her more harm than she did herself. I had to LOL and even she just rested her head on her hand and listened. Then she had to throw a tantrum when someone dared to ask her a question. It was a Farce alright.
Ah, what difference does it make? I mean, at this point. move on. Right? I cried about it, or pretended to, so isn´t that what really counts. What matters now is finding out what happened so it doesn´t happen again but what difference does it make what happened.Now, this is so incredible but I suppose nothing about Hillary should surprise me. But, social media is abuzz with people who think, SHE DID GREAT! It doesn´t matter what she did or said. Alll that matters is, "I am woman Hear me Roar. Speak truth to power. Fist in the air. Right ON!" That sentient free Americans should reduce themselves to 1970´s cliches is so dispiriting. Ah, maybe Hillary´s right. What difference does any to it make. The country is over.
At least she didn´t hit the table with her shoe.
As predicted.Can one not hear a death rattle? The death of truth as a concept, the death of even a semblance of political or personal integrity, the death of logic, the death of leadership, the death of wisdom, the death of . .. the nation.
What seems to be working is that far too many people are somehow blaming repubicans for her failures.Beware the so called elites who find nothing but blame for republilcans and are willing to go along with the msm when acclaiming the murderous liars on the left.
I feel for the family members of those killed in Bengazi. Our government officials who should be held accountable for this act, just skated away untouched, then closed the book on this story. This was no hearing, it was a scripted performance designed to make everyone forget about what happened on that day.
I for one am soooo looking forward to the day Jesus returns and brings God´s judgment and justice be done.I am sooooo tired of the double, triple, or quadruple standards out there.While the media, sports, Hollywood, liberal Dims, and anyone Anti-American get special treatment under the law, the rest of us have to deal with reality and the sharp rebuke of "justice."We live in an unrecognizable and ever-worsening place. The people we continue to vote for do not do us any favors. They are more and more becoming a part of the problem rather than our staunch advocates.I smelled the faint aroma of revolution in this morning´s air...
Bill and HilLIARy´s life has been full of nothing but lying, cheating and stealing.Off they go - to a house in the Hamptons - millions in their pockets (her campaign debt paid the DAY BEFORE her hearing ?? - AND paid to self!) and millions to be made in the next four years before she makes the history books (her real intent from the beginning) by ANY means possible.....including murder.
It was actually rather amusing to see her scream, rant, fumble and blatantly lie. Of course, such character flaws are considered positive attributes among the filthy left.
If this were a Republican administration, leftists would be screaming about a conspiracy to misinform the public to cover for their role in the deaths of the four Americans, by ignoring the intelligence reports and repeated requests for better security. Hillary and Obama flagrantly lied to cover up their role in the death of these men, but they can constantly lie and break every law and their minions will still back them 100%, because their ultrapartisan leftism trumps everything else.
I loved the article.......one of your very best....I particularly liked the mental picture of the cigarette.....there are those of us who remember her testimony before Congress about White Water records......one still has to very carefully parse everything she says........
As usual, Jonah is right on:"First, why did the administration lie? Well, it wanted to conceal its utter failure to prepare for terrorist attacks on September 11 — which is like being surprised by Christmas falling on December 25. Also, the Obama administration, by which I mean the Obama campaign, was desperate to protect its hyped record of fighting terrorism."Her Republican questioners should have been ready when she asked "What difference does it make" with this kind of response. Instead, they folded up and were left muttering in the corner. (I like Marco, but he had nothin´.)
Every question Hillary got was agreed to before...the questions were arranged and telegraphed to her so she would be ready. The whole thing was a lying farce...both by Hillary and the lying Senators, except for Paul, and Johnson. Rubio was a joke.
...she is pure evil...it sickens me that the sheep ( aka dems) would want this garbage ruling their lives.
Hillary lied and lies without shame or remorse. SHE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR who should not be in politics. In 2008, Hillary accused the Bosnian Serbs of shooting at her, and she and Chelsie had to run for their car, and it was not true. Yesterday, Hillary said that the way the four brave Americans died makes no difference, and she pounded on the table. I am very skeptical about people who pound on the table to make a point The way the four Americans died makes a huge difference to the poor widows and children.If Hillary had alerted the Army and took the proper rescue measures perhaps the four men may be alive today.Is it possible that the reason why Hillary did not get their frantic calls for help BECAUSE SHE WAS DRUNK????
The hearing was a disgusting display of fawning incompetence. Why even call for a hearing when the outcome is known in advance, and I think we all knew what would happen in that room. There is no accountability in Washington. Mrs.Clinton skated and Republicans for the most part were ineffective. The questioning was weak and rambling. She filibustered and totally ignored what she didn´t care to answer. The men and women tasked to find out what happened and why should be ashamed. They failed the country and those families.
#2, I don´t believe femininity is a trait the Hildabeast ever acquired. She is and always has been a lesbian. What attracted her to Bill is a true mystery.
Hillary has a "tell" when she´s lying. She looks down while she´s talking and moves her head side to side until the lie has been delivered.She didn´t roll out that phony indignant scream until someone actually got too close for comfort.
You people don´t actually think that the GOP really opposes the democrats, do you?
Hillary learned well as an assistant to the prosecution at the Watergate hearings. She learned what happens to people who give honest testimony at a politically-directed lynching. So she approaches the hearings with a barrage of earnest doubletalk, baffling bull[bleep], airy generalities, and answering questions with the answer to a question that wasn´t asked -- all the tools of evasion were employed. Her testimony revealed her to be a skilled Artful Dodger and a lousy Secretary of State.
I see where she now has corrective lenses for double vision. Must be for her two faces.
Saw Glenn Beck give a terrific insight into the (w)itch´s performance.It was trained counterintelligence. Delay, distract, evade and delay, and lie and delay. Did you notice how many times she said she would give her answers later in a written response?Hillary didn´t answer the questions that were about her lying about the video, etc. She would talk about something else.Sen. Johnson asked about why they lied to the American public. She didn´t answer the question. She talked about who killed the Americans. That wasn´t the question. The question was why did you lie the to American public?
Unfortunately, absent a Sodom and Gommorah type of rearrangment of the predominant national culture, you are looking at the next POTUS.
No 11: I am STILL laughing!
Where are the survivors of Benghazi? Why are they not served with a subpoena to testify?Just askin´...
Like to see this DimWitch get her axe waxed in the 2016 election cycle.What a cur.
Another example of the poor excuse for Republicans we have in Congress: If Jonah Goldberg could come up with at least two occasions where PIAPS blamed the video for Benghazi, why couldn´t a republican on the committee say, "excuse me, Madam Secretary, but you DID say this video was to blame. Let me refresh your memory..." and feed her the quotes? Republicans have had at least three months to construct a strategy for this hearing and they didn´t even have the simplest of tactics to counter this harpie. Obama is succeeding: I am virtually assured of registering as an independent from now on. Get a set, Republicans! These people have openly declared war on you, and it´s time to fight back!
Hillary was just displaying the diplomatic skills that made her the greatest Sec. of State ever
Great comments! #6, love that string of sobriquets. "HiLIARy" very good, #16.Still laughing, #30.#12, i weep with you.The media will not do the job of journalism. We have to pick up the slack, i.e., talk to those uninformed voters out there.Collect the videos of her drinking, of her laughing about the murder of Gaddafi, "We came. We saw. He died. ha ha ha ha." Her faux emotion during the session this week both the "tears" and the "rage." all of it. AND the four years of wreckage left in her wake.Remember when she was running for the Senate, and her male opponent (name slips my mind) dared to approach her podium, her "space"?Is Biden going to, ahem, roll over for her?
Excellent column.Ditto, #4.
In re #2. Exactly my sentiments. Is there any doubt why Chelsea doesn´t have a younger sibling? Not in my mind!
Are you surprised???????
Jonah Goldberg: Hillary Clinton did not tell the truth!Hillary ClintonIn a cackling hen grating and annoying screech):"WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE"???And thus the dilemma we L-Dotters face now every day in America...the liars are in charge, the lap dog ass-press rump swabs cover for them, and the idiot low-information voters dont have a clue what we´re talking about!GOD help us all!
I thought on 9-12-12 why dida back water like Benghazi warrant theattention of an ambassador. so I looked up on Wikipedia the embassy list ( about 15 seconds) found out that there were 70 embassies in Tripoli. That is the capitol (another 15 secords). So what else was in Benghazi? So I looked down a list of Govermental Offices other agencies. A ha! I found the Transitional council for the Liberation of Libya.(10 seconds).This was the group we were armingto fight Kadaffi. Might w still be arming them?How bout a few answers on that?All this was really hard to find, right?
Yeah #11, she´s leaving that for John F. Kerry, who can pull off his shoe, pound the table and scream, "We Vill Crush Yu!" if Senator Rand says anything.

One in seven people in the world today do not get enough food to be healthy, and most of these are women and children. Poor nutrition is the single biggest underlying cause of ill health and death among pregnant women and for children in their first two years of life, underlying one-third of preventable deaths of children under age 5.
Recent spikes in global food prices have been pushing millions of households further into hunger and extreme poverty, and deepening the struggle of the world's poor — that's 2.7 billion people who live on less than $2 a day.
When parents are weakened by hunger, their ability to work, grow crops, provide for their families, and stay healthy is diminished, making it harder to spur economic growth. Malnutrition is also passed on from hungry pregnant mothers to their children, and so on, in a harmful cycle.
Back to topHunger and food insecurity have many contributing factors, including poverty, natural disasters, drought, war, lack of infrastructure, and exploitation of the environment.
For many poor households forced to spend more than half of their incomes to eat, the recent jumps in staple food prices are crippling their ability to access enough nutritious food while coping with other needs. This can lead to chronic malnutrition which affects every aspect of a child's life.
Back to topMalnutrition is responsible for more than a third of the 7.6 million early-childhood deaths worldwide each year. About 55 million children under the age of 5 are acutely malnourished, while one in four children don't get the nutrition they need.
Insufficient nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life (from conception through age 2) can result in stunting and poor cognitive development. Without adequate nutritious food, these children will not be able to reach their full potential, or be able to contribute fully to their local community's future growth. Watch the video below to learn more about the impact of malnutrition on children.
The number of hungry people has dropped below 1 billion, to 925 million people in 2010. However, there is still much more work to be done.
There is an urgent need for implementing comprehensive strategies that address emergency needs, agricultural development, nutrition, food price volatility, and resilience to climate extremes.
Food assistance is a key tool in addressing world hunger. In conjunction with other programs, food assistance can lessen the impact of shortages and help break the cycle of extreme poverty.
Serving a wider role than just providing relief during emergencies, food assistance can also:
World Vision is responding to hunger across many countries and working to promote sustainable agricultural practices, while improving food storage and access to market in thousands of hard-hit communities. We also are monitoring the impact of high food prices on vulnerable households.
Neither World Vision nor the U.S. government can solve this problem alone, but by demonstrating leadership and working with others, the number-one Millennium Development Goal to cut hunger in half by 2015 can be achieved.

Former APD Chief Learns to Live Heart-Healthy
By: Megan Dobbs
Updated: July 9, 2010
November 6th, 2006. It's a day retired Abilene police chief Melvin Martin will never forget. That's the day he suffered a heart attack.
Chief Martin was headed back to the house after a walk, as he so often did. Only this time, something was different.
"We were going to sit down to eat, and then, all of a sudden, I started sweating profusely," Chief Martin says.
Anyone who knows Chief Martin well, knows of his love for his two dogs, whom he calls his "little girls".
The night of his heart attack, Sugar, the oldest "little girl", knew something wasn't right with her owner.
"Sugar's eyes told me that she knew something was wrong, big time wrong," Martin says. She was right.
Though the heart attack came unexpectedly, Martin was well aware of the symptoms before it happened. It's knowlege he realized in his police years, and it's something many Abilene resdients don't have.
"Too many people don't want to believe it," Martin says, "They do not want to take the care. They do not want to respond to a hospital, thinking that maybe it'll go away, maybe it's something else. Don't do that."
Lack of exercise puts people at a higher risk for heart attack. But it wasn't exercise Chief Martin was lacking; it was a healthy diet.
That's something he's changed, and now knows a thing or two about.
"The old addage of fruit and vegetables, as boring as it is, you've got to do it," Martin says, "You've got to change what you eat; eating fish instead of red meats, that kind of thing."
Aside from healthy eating and exercise, there's one more thing Chief Martin stresses.
"Stress is a killer. It can take you under," Martin says.
His life now?
"Stress-free, as much as possible; and, of course, the retirement after 40 years with the police department. That has helped."
Now the chief and his wife, Maryann, are enjoying a life of retirement, and every heartbeat along the way.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. — To date, nearly 1,700 eastern Kentucky coal miners have lost their jobs this year after several rounds of both layoffs and mine closures.
More than 400 of those miners could stop receiving enemployment insurance benefits at the end of this month, with about 800 more following suit in February 2013, unless Congress were to intervene.
Even as those deadlines loom, help toward finding out-of-work miners new skilled job opportunities and training is in the works through the Hiring Our Miners Everyday (H.O.M.E.) initiative. Qualified miners can sign up to receive the support and training needed to get back into the workforce at three upcoming H.O.M.E. open enrollment events set for this month in eastern Kentucky.
The signup events will be held:
• Wednesday, Dec. 12 – Perry County JobSight, 412 Roy Campbell Drive, Hazard;
• Monday, Dec. 17 – Pikeville Campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College, 120 South Riverfill Drive, Pikeville;
• Wednesday, Dec. 19 – Harlan Extension Office Depot, 110 River Street, Harlan.
Each event will take place from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Attendees should bring a valid driver's license and Social Security card.
H.O.M.E. is a service of the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. (EKCEP), a nonprofit workforce development organization that provides federally funded jobseeker and employer services in 23 Appalachian Kentucky counties.
"There's an urgency for EKCEP to provide this assistance because hundreds of our region's miners are without jobs and could lose their Unemployment Insurance very shortly," Jeff Whitehead, EKCEP Executive Director, said. "This initiative will allow us to assist our dislocated miners like we already do every day, but with a clear and direct focus on helping them rapidly find new job and training opportunities."
EKCEP has applied for a multi-million dollar National Emergency Grant (NEG) from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration to power the H.O.M.E. initiative.
Spouses of out-of-work miners may qualify for assistance through H.O.M.E. if they are out of work and need to return to the workforce. Other employees from closed coal operations, such as office staff and on-site support, can also sign up.
Through H.O.M.E., miners, coal company staff, and their spouses may receive on-the-job training; classroom training in basic academic skills or certification and licensing; and skilled apprenticeships.
"We want these miners to be able to train, work, and remain here in their home region without uprooting their families for jobs in other states or regions of Kentucky," Whitehead said.
"These miners are safety conscious, dependable, skilled team players who are capable of working in many job settings," Whitehead said. "Thanks to H.O.M.E., the miners would be earning while they're learning a new job, and their employer is able to have them on staff at very minimal cost to the business.
