HOUSTON — After 65 years, a Houston landmark is no more.
The old Macy's building, formerly Foley's, was demolished in an implosion Sunday morning in downtown Houston.
The implosion had been planned for months, and a nine-block perimeter safety zone was set up to ensure that no one would be injured by the blast.
Adjacent properties took precautions earlier in the week for the implosion by nailing up plywood to protect everything from windows to artwork.
Rail service downtown was suspended at 9 p.m. Friday, but could be up and running again as early as Monday morning.
If service is not ready for Monday morning commuters in time, buses will be provided to help people get around.
As for the implosion itself, officials said on Friday that they were not concerned about dust. As of 10 a.m., a thin cloud of dust remained over the site and could be seen from the surrounding freeways.

This is a perfect soft coral/apricot peach lipstick that is neither too bright or too pale. For reference my skin tone is NC15 - tending to go paler in winter, with blonde hair and pink/purple toned natural lip colour. I love to wear this lipstick with a dramatic eye look or find it looks just as great with a natural look. Looks especially good when wearing navy.
The formula is a just a little bit dry to first apply but nice and creamy once on but I find I do have to layer it on quite a bit to get complete coverage, any dry bits will really stick out with this lippy. This baby lasts the distance and does not need touching up as often as some other Mac lippies I have, it seems to last really well through food and drinks too.
This looks really pretty softened down and a little more muted layered over Creme' D'Nude. So pleased I bought this one as it looks good with Coralista Blush or Illamasqua Rude Blush and the apricot shadow from the Lime Crime Aquataenia Palette.

While I like the color (it shows up on me as more of a soft peach shade than coral or orange) I find the lipstick hard to apply. The lipstick I received is quite dry, application is a bit of a challenge as the lipstick drags on my lips, giving me uneven coverage. It definitely doesn't apply like my other cremesheens. Not sure if I received a dud but if it was not for the formula I would give this a higher rating. Pretty color for summer though.

I love this color. It is everything that I thought MAC Flamingo was going to be. (Maybe Flamingo doesn't show up too well on me because I have pigmented lips.) Anyway, Ravishing is the PERFECT shade of peach / light coral. It's light, but darker than Flamingo. I get complements on it when I wear it. It is beautiful, flattering and is a perfect daytime color, when you are wearing orange, peach, browns or neutral colors.

I love the color and thought it looked find when I tried it at the store. However, I'm very displeased with the one I brought home - it goes on unevenly and settles into the lines of my lips - which I don't normally have as a problem. That's why one should never trust the lighting at the mall! I can only use it on top of something else. Very disappointed. Will not repurchase.

This is a perfect natural looking coral. It is soft and neutral enough to go with lots of colors. Cremesheen never dries or cracks my lips, but you need to reapply fairly often.

This is a muted coral/ orange color. Don't be put off by the orange description, it is still very wearable and ideal for springtime. I purchased this after seeing it was a top mac lipstick on makeupgeek.com and I can see why. It's very pretty and flirty. Even my boyfriend said he liked my lip color and he rarely notices anything! ;) The only con to this lipstick is it can settle into lines on your lips so make you sure exfoliate and moisturize them with a lip balm or something and boom problem solved. I have worn this with a tan and without and still love how it looks.
Some gloss pairing suggestions:
Almay's lip gloss in "Apricot" for more of a coral color.
Revlon Colorburst gloss in "Peony" to pull more of the pinky peach color.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Blue
being not much of a lipstick wearer (or risk taker) when I bought ravishing, I was hesitant. I'd only seen the colour on tan skin, had no idea whether oranges would even suit me, and wanted my first ever mac purchase to be successful. but since buying it I have not looked back. I never have to worry about it drying out, as it's a cremesheen finish, and the colour result is bright but not terrifyingly so. after such success with ravishing I've tried out several other similar shades and now find that oranges actually look best on me, so I'm really glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought it.
the only negative thing I have to say about it is that it does tend to wear off quite quickly, which can be annoying if you're out for the day/night and you've forgotten to bring it with you. but a lip liner underneath helps hold onto the colour quite well. I'm in love with this lippy and I think I always will be.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Dry, Medium, Neutral Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine Eyes: Hazel
Beautiful coral orange color. I read reviews that it's for daily use, not too bright.. But on me it looked little too bright, too orange and very drying, and creases in my lips. I like the color, it's beautiful, however feels too dry, my lips started to feel almost itchy just after about 10 min. I have to use lip balm underneath. And still - I wish this lipstick was more creamy.
$15 is a lot for one lipstick that does not feel perfect.

This is one of those colors I keep stocked. I carry one in my bag at all times and have one in the house. It's moisturizing and soft and great to grab anytime and it can be dressed up and worn down. It's not long lasting and I do reapply 3 times a day but I find it worth it.

CATEGORIES Classics, Foreign Language, Independent, Site Announcements, Shorts, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, Announcements, CinematicalIf you don't live in a big city or attend a big film school, the availability of most art films to you is next to nothing. And when I say art films, I don't mean Little Miss Sunshine; I mean Man Ray's Emak-Bakia and Nam June Paik's Zen for Film. Okay, so those might show up at your local museum, but what about avante garde films by John Lennon and Yoko Ono? Stan Brakhage? Joris Ivens? William S. Burroughs? Rather than trying to rent these experimental films from Netflix or buying whole collections from Amazon, you can go the digital route and watch them on your computer for free. Cinematical's sister-site DV Guru has discovered UbuWeb, which features around 100 different artists, each with one or more films available to download. So, if you haven't seen Ballet Méchanique or, God forbid, Un Chien Andalou, now you have no more excuses.
For less high-brow material, you can also always go to Jonhs.net, which streams (no time-consuming downloads) films that have fallen out of copyright, or for some other reason are available for free. There you can watch everything from silent films by Buster Keaton, classics like It's a Wonderful Life, recent films like Steal this Movie, cheap B-movies, training videos, undistributed documentaries, and more. If you don't see anything you like now (how is that possible?), keep going back, as the site is constantly getting new stuff in daily. And sometimes what is there today may be gone tomorrow. I just watched Death of a President on the site Tuesday, and now it has been removed.
Be warned: you might not leave your computer for awhile.

Missouri seems destined to be leaving the Big 12, dealing yet another blow to the quickly shrinking conference, but sources have told the AP that the school would've preferred to join the Big Ten rather than the SEC. Last year, Missouri had hoped to get a Big Ten invite, but Nebraska was selected instead. The Big Ten reportedly "has no interest" in Missouri.
On Tuesday, Missouri's curators voted unanimously to allow Chancellor Brady Deaton to look for a new conference. The Big 12 is already down to 10 schools after Nebraska and Colorado left and its future remains unclear.
If Missouri does end up joining the SEC, it would end a relationship with schools with which it has been aligned since 1907 when the Big Eight was first established (although it has been called several different names). Missouri was also one of the founding members of the Big 12 in 1994 when the Big Eight merged with four schools from the Southwest Conference.

An East Texas county is seeing more and more people booked into their jail who are repeat offenders struggling with a combination of drug addiction and mental health disorders.
To combat the problem, Henderson County is working to develop a new program that could provide these people with the medication and counseling they need, but some families say what their loved ones really need is long-term inpatient care that they can't seem to find.
Rosie Denson has been struggling with her daughter's deteriorating mental health since 1993. That's when her daughter was seriously injured in a car crash. "That took my daughter away from me, but I didn't desert her. I hung right in there," Rosie says.In recent years, Rosie's daughter has become increasingly violent."She throws me on the floor, she tried to stab me, she jumps on me frequently. You don't have to fight her when her mind is really gone," says Rosie.That fight moves to the streets where her daughter is frequently getting arrested. According to Henderson County judicial records, Rosie's daughter spent more than half of last year in the county jail. "People are calling because she's going in their houses and their cars and stealing stuff out of their cars... going in their mailbox putting their mail strewn everywhere... hanging clothes in the street... cussing people out... jumping on the them," says Rosie.Rosie's daughter has been booked into state mental hospitals, but her stays are short and she's back on the streets. "I love her to death, but I got to do what a mother is supposed to do-- get some help for her so I can see some peace myself," says Rosie."We're used to dealing with people who commit criminal offenses and people who commit misdemeanor offenses, and the county has the resources to deal with those. The mental health is not that easy," says Henderson County Attorney Clint Davis.Davis says many county inmates are evaluated for mental health issues, but they often don't meet the criteria set by the state to receive long term in patient mental care. A new program with the local Andrews Center could provide people with mental disorders and drug additions the help they need. "It would be where they actually go in and receive services during the day. They are monitored by mental health professionals at the Andrews Center and so on," he says.But people like Rosie fear their loved ones need something more. "I need help. That's what I'm asking for. Help me to help her," she says.Henderson County says for the most part, the people who would benefit from this new program are non-violent offenders. The county knows continuously cycling these people in and out of jail does not fulfill their need for long-term mental health care.

1. They're cheaper. That matters to Mary Lou and Dan Fritts of Prairie Village, Kansas. With five teenage daughters in their blended family, they say travel is tough financially. A staycation, even with lots of vacationlike perks, will probably be significantly cheaper than a traditional vacation.
2. They involve fewer hassles. "A staycation can be a more valuable experience and more treasured," says Matt Wixon, author of The Great American Staycation and dad to three sons. "We camp in the backyard, barbecue with the neighbors, and don't have hassles with lost luggage or a four-hour flight delay with a 2-year-old."
3. They are more relaxing for everyone involved, especially mom! "You don't want to feel like you need a vacation to recover from your vacation," says Carla Girkin, mom of kids ages 10 and 8 in Blue Springs, Missouri, who's done staycations as well as long road trips with her family. There's still planning up front for a staycation, but without that exhausted feeling at the end, Girkin says.
4. More relaxing means more bonding. Taking a staycation gives everyone a chance to slow down. "You can spend meaningful time together," says Los Angeles psychotherapist Phyllis Goldberg, Ph.D. Done right, a staycation can be the ultimate family quality time.

Stewart A. Denenberg, Technology and Society
— I enjoyed Colin Read's Nov. 4 Press-Republican column where he points out that technology has contributed to a vanishing centrist view in politics.
In the past, when newspapers were the main delivery medium for news, editors had to be careful not to skew the facts too far to the right or the left as the readers were sure to contain citizens of both persuasions. As a result, the news was nudged toward the middle of the political road if, for no other reason, it would outrage fewer readers and was certainly the best choice in terms of the bottom line.
Now most everyone has the Internet and cable TV, both of which can provide the type and slant of news most any individual desires. In addition to cooking, pet and golf channels, Fox caters to the right, and MSNBC is left of center. This tends to polarize the politics of our nation and could certainly be a significant cause of our gridlocked government that, like the weather, everyone complains about, but no one seems to be able to change.
However, that said, I must respectfully (there's a word you don't hear very often anymore) disagree with my colleague. Newspapers, even in their heyday, were divided into right, left and center politically in their editorials and even their choice of headlines. I recall back in the '60s, a headline from the Manchester Union Leader stating: "UN Mercenaries Invade Congo." Of course, this was the opinion of the owner (Loeb) of the publication, but the people who regularly purchased this paper were also the choir he was preaching to. This seems very similar to what Fox and MSNBC are doing when they broadcast the opinions of Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow. Actually, Fox and MSNBC are being more intellectually honest and transparent with us as they do not claim that Hannity and Maddow are newscasters but are merely commentators. And as commentators, they can vent their biases to their bases rather freely. The issue is, however, when you sit down for a meal, do you want your soup with one flavor overpowering all of the others or would you rather they all work to complement each other?
It's debatable whether the "good old days" when the Fourth Estate (i.e. newspapers) picked which news was worth reporting was better than the cornucopia of TV channels and Internet (includes newspapers) sites that are currently available. If I have to choose between the elite few publishers who decide what news is and the delicious diversity of offerings on the Internet, on the whole, I have to go with the choice that maximizes my choice. I think it's better to have too much choice than not enough even though there are times when too much choice seems overwhelming — like shopping in a super-duper market for cereals. In fact, some think that this overabundance of choice contributes to the sense of ennui and irony of our age.
Unfortunately, having an abundance of choices does not necessarily mean we will use them wisely. Sites that analyze Twitter feeds clearly show that visitors to conservative and liberal websites do not overlap very much at all; if you are a conservative, you visit mostly conservative websites, and liberals visit liberal websites. One would hope that a plethora of information would inform the populace and promote toleration of other's viewpoints but, sadly, this does not seem to be the case. Instead of tolerance, we get arrogance and righteousness that leads to insularity and polarization. And although it was Abraham Lincoln who said, "A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have," we must ask ourselves: Are we all in this together, or are we not? Sulking in our enclaves is not only counterproductive, it is just plain childish.
Maybe we can find some ironic solace in the message from Kahlil Gibran: "I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers." If we could just follow his example but learn instead to be grateful to those teachers, I'm sure the world would be better for it.

Swiss Family Treehouse Model
I ran across this on one of Mike Cozart's blogs. Hope you don't mind me posting this, Mike. You guys may be familiar with one of his other blogs, TomorrowLounge67. He built this 1/8 scale model at the request of a friend who worked with him at Disney a while back. It models the Disneyland Swiss Family Treehouse of the late 70s.
This thing is one of the coolest looking scale models I have ever seen. I worked on scale models at a few model shops years ago and ever since I've admired a good model every time I've seen one. Excellent work, M.C. More photos here.
I remember seeing the scale model for the Tarzan Treehouse in 1998 being reviewed in an Imagineering board room and thinking it was well crafted (not a good idea, but well crafted). This one is more impressive in my opinion.

Having traveled primarily on Celebrity, we were a bit concerned about what our experience would be on a more family oriented vacation with our kids and grand kids. We decided in advance that this was really all about the kids.
However, the experience for them and us, was way above our expectations.
Freedom of the Seas is an extremely clean and well maintained ship. The staff is very personable, helpful and happy. The ship is a nice size.
Ports of call were Cocoa Cay, St. Thomas and St. Martin. All nice The three days as sea were wonderful with lots to do. Rock Wall, Flow Rider,Ice Skating
The Dream Works experience was wonderful for all ages, including us. Our cabin attendant was fantastic as was our waiter and the manager of our dining room. The buffet staff were wonderful. The cruise director and activities director were fun everywhere.
Although there were 500 plus children on ship, everything was orderly.
The Jumbo-tron screen was fun as were the "character parade."
Royal Caribbean really has their act together from embarkation to debarkation and baggage collection.
As elite members of Celebrity, we were afforded Diamond Club amenities on Freedom. The private lounge and friendly Diamond club representative was a wonderful "perk."
We would definitely sail on Royal Caribbean again.

The Crimson Crew: Who Rocked Red Better? LeBron James vs. Amar'e Stoudemire
It takes a bold man to wear all red, especially when you are clocking in at 6'8″ and 6'11″, but both LeBron James and Amar'e Stoudemire were up to the task. Last night, we saw LeBron turn heads in a custom red Waraire Boswell suit as he hit the stage of the ESPY Awards, and just a few weeks ago, Amar'e wore a red Lanvin suit after he tied the knot to his fiancee Alexis.
Amar'e tells the NY Times:
Red is an elaborate, regal color. The whole thing with this wedding is royalty. I want to make sure that my family, [my fiancée's] family, feels like royalty. If you get a glimpse at the wedding, you'll see that it's really a prestige-type event. It's the type of event that will allow me to wear a red suit.
When you're dealing with a suit that's all red, you want to make sure that you do it right. It has to fit well. You have to go to meetings, fittings, you have to make sure the material is right. It's a bold color, but it's classy and classic.
Who rocked it best?

As a legislator, you can strengthen your voice and express yourself more frequently through social media and other digital channels where more and more of your voters are so active. In many countries now, you can learn quickly about the nature and benefits of new communications technologies and how to use them to connect with your constituents.
As a voter, you can get tips from your MP on how to strengthen your voice. Parliamentarians are well-versed in many practical and useful matters of political organization. Your city or region will have several representatives in parliament who are likely to respond positively to requests for advice and assistance from constituents like you.
When asked, many parliamentarians will help citizens develop political platforms and the skills to campaign democratically for the causes and issues they support. Voters can use more and more online resources to help study how this is done, through real-life examples from different countries and cultures.
15 September 2013 is a good day to discuss key issues challenging democracy. These include how to promote mutual respect and dialogue with opponents, honest governance, accessible and accountable parliamentarians and parliaments, the effective participation of women, the young and minorities in local, regional and national politics, and how to make elected officials more responsive to voters' demands and expectations.
Strengthen your voice by speaking up at public events. Sporting events with big crowds are good places for a short IDD message. Radio and television broadcasts are especially effective at reaching large audiences, but local print media can also work well. You can raise IDD's profile in your town or village meetings, or perhaps stage a play with song and dance at a festival. Popular concerts are another good way to promote an IDD event, especially if the performers themselves mention it during their performance. You can do this anywhere: out in the open, in schools and other public buildings, in village squares, universities, markets and shopping centres.
IDD is best when it reflects the reality of your country, culture and society. Express yourself and your aspirations in your IDD event, ideally through specific messages, posters, broadcasts, and publications that speak to your fellow-citizens and that you may have even helped produce. Please also see our Resources page for materials that could be adapted to your situation and distributed as you see fit.

Murdering the Classics
Every year, Yo La Tengo stage an amazing play-for-pay show in the WFMU studios; taking song requests for pledges to the New York radio station during its annual subscription drive, then knocking them out on the fly. It's the kind of ridiculous undertaking that could only be attempted by a band with an encyclopedic knowledge of pop-culture, an ability to play in a range of styles, and, most of all, a sense of humor. In short: Yo La Tengo at their finest.
Which leads us to their finest longplaying moment: the band's magnum 1997 opus I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One. Their eighth album finds the New Jersey trio —guitarist Ira Kaplan, bassist James McNew, drummer Georgia Hubley, all of whom sing— sounding like some glorious indie-pop jukebox; a singular band cycling through a variety of styles in style.
Here, they rewrite Bacharach as slinky, on-the-make, fake-jazz workout ("Moby Octopad"), cover the Beach Boys with a fistful of fuzztone ("Little Honda"), and ape Neil Young (McNew's croaky, sweet "Stockholm Syndrome"). They ironically embrace Disney-ist tweeness ("My Little Corner of the World"), trance out in a space-rock workout (the 11-minute "Spec Bebop"), and even dabble in bossa nova ("Center of Gravity").
And, amidst this, they deliver some of their best-ever songs: the scorching alt-rock snarl of the insistent "Sugarcube," the swirling, sprawling romance of "Autumn Sweater," and the melancholy atmospherics of "Damage," which suggested the direction they'd take on their downbeat next LP, 2000's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out, an album whose singularity stood in contrast to the variety heard here.
As One
Of course, genre-hopping albums tend to be terrible; pastiches that play as erratic wholes, works that give listeners a headache from their audio schizophrenia. And, whilst we're talking about qualities-that-are-usually-a-huge negative, I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One is a monstrous 16 tracks and 68 minutes long; which wasn't strange back in 1997, at the peak (or, indeed, nadir) of the CD era, but seems excessive when compared to generations either side.
Yet, I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One transcends these usual standards; becoming not some sprawling, ill-focused mess, but the culmination of Yo La Tengo's career. Though they've made a host of singular-sounding records, the band's metier has been its ability to shift styles, reference eras, and work through genres; to collaborate with Jad Fair and free-jazz vets, to make albums insistently melodic and film soundtracks spare and desolate.
Here, those many elements are made singular; made one, as the title suggest. There's no special trick of sonic sorcery that manages to do so, just a patina of greatness; the special sheen of a band at the peak of their powers, alive and in love with every sound they touch.

My friends and I were enjoying the weekend at Big Turkey Lake sandbar. When my friend looked down at her toe she saw these two dragonflies. She immediately called me to see them. It was the coolest thing. The two dragonflies had hooked up forming a heart shape, so of course I grabbed my camera. So remember take time to relax and enjoy nature, you never know what beautiful thing you may see.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights has opened an investigation into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in regard to the way the University responded to sexual assault allegation.
The University said that it would "respond appropriately to [OCR's] requests and cooperate fully."
The letter, addressed to Chancellor Holden Thorp and dated March 1, references complaints received by the Office of Civil Rights about the University's response to sexual assault allegations.
"The Complainants allege the University failed to appropriately respond to concerns of sexual harassment, including sexual assault/sexual violence," the letter reads.
In response to the allegations, UNC News Services Director Karen Moon said "opening the allegation for investigation in no way implies that OCR has made a determination with regard to the merits of the complaint."
Moon added, "During the investigation, OCR is a neutral fact-finder, collecting and analyzing relevant evidence."
The OCR also says the complainants allege the University did not "provide appropriate grievance procedures regarding sexual harassment, including sexual assault/sexual violence," nor did it "provide adequate and impartial investigations of sexual harassment" or "provide appropriate training ... regarding sexual harassment, including sexual assault/sexual violence."
The University has until March 21 to respond to the OCR's requests.
Earlier this year, three students and alumna filed a complaint with the OCR on behalf of themselves and 64 other victims saying UNC's sexual assault policy is "unjust."
"It was a really hard semester. I didn't sleep, didn't eat, felt really anxious all the time," said sophomore Landen Gambill, one of the three students speaking out about the complaint. Gambill says she was abused during her freshman year.
Sexual assault is recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice as the most underreported violent crime in America.
"Violence is happening at UNC. No one is talking about it, and because no one is talking about it students don't feel empowered to report it," said junior Andrea Pino, another assault victim and complainant.
Gambill reported the problem to the University but says the University's procedure that followed was offensive and insensitive.
"It was traumatic. It was difficult -- one of the hardest couple of days of my life," Gambill said.
Gambill and Pino believe the University is more interested in quieting victims than seeking justice for them, because schools are required to report the number of violent crimes and the reports ultimately impact the school's reputation.
"I felt shamed, guilted, definitely not listened to," Gambill said of the university's process.
According to Huffington Post, UNC Associate Dean of Students Melinda Manning tendered her resignation in December, saying that sexual assault victims had been "asked inappropriate questions or have been blamed for the incident."
In one of the cases, Manning told Huffington Post, "it was judged because they had past consensual sex with that individual," meaning there was consent and therefore no assault.
Pino says UNC does not take an active and collective stand against sexual violence, nor does it educate victims about their rights and too often lets abusers and rapists off the hook.
Gambill's abuser withdrew from UNC but was never expelled or punished. In a statement to the University's student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, the lawyer representing the man accused of abusing Gambill called her accusations inaccurate and damaging.
According to the newspaper, the accused attacker was found not guilty of rape by a University Hearings Board.
Both Pino and Gambill said they want the Department of Education to investigate what they call the school's "unjust" sexual assault policy.
"I want to see the University, university administrators and the student body as a whole to take a collective and active stand against sexual violence. And I think in order to do that, that includes creating a sexual assault policy that does not protect rapists anymore," Gambill said.

Accommodation Canada Niagara Falls ACBB Hostel Niagara
Photos Facilities Map Streetview Reviews
LOWEST PRICE ACCOMMODATION IN NIAGARA FALLS AND BEST RATED. Our hostel is also the best located hostel and accommodation to the magnificent waterfalls and the entertainment district.
Everything in our building is newly renovated and redesigned for 2013! Great value! Great location! We want to impress you with the value we provide.
We are a true hostel. Not a motel. Don't be fooled by the motels. Our prices include everything, even our famous breakfast. No membership fees, surprise taxes or cleaning fees.
Our hostel won the 2009 hoscar, the Hostelworld award for the number 1 rated hostel in North America and Canada for 2009! Number 2 in 2010 and number 3 in 2011. Come and find out why our guests think we are the best.
This year we have totally renovated the interior of our building, including all private rooms, dorms, kitchens and bathrooms.
Lowest price overall in Niagara too, no crazy membership charges or surprise fees and all the taxes are included in our prices.
We now have female only dorms in our newly renovated apartments, especially designed for female travellers.
We have specially designed family rooms and group apartments available. Our very spacious and roomy dorms have specially designed beds that were custom built to comfortably accommodate adults and backpacks/luggage. The mattresses are for adults. (our bunks are not department store bunk beds with thin mattresses designed for children and sleep overs, lol).
Our private rooms have all been redesigned for 2013 with brand new hard wood floors, custom tile entrances, queen sized beds, closets, superior bedding, media centres, desks, windows, individual heaters, and ceiling fans. These are amazing, check them out for a few nights, you will not be disappointed. Not your typical hostel private room located in a converted broom closet, lol.
Best location! Just a true, very safe, 5-7 minute walk to the falls! Check out Google maps and see just how close we are to the falls compared to other accommodation options. (including those in the USA) No long, dark, night-time walks back to the hostel after the you visit the falls and nearby vibrant pub/restaurant district. Save on taxi fares!
Absolutely, no hidden fees, no membership requirements or charges. None. Just pay for the sleep. Everything else we offer is free!
Remember when you come to Niagara you are coming to see a river! Plan to discover this easily accessible river. In fact it's one of the world's greatest rivers not just the site of the incredible waterfalls.
Explore this river away from the shiny tourist areas, this river is incredibly accessible, very easy to see and we will show you how to see it free, not on a cramped tour bus.
Fantastic day hikes, world class rock climbing areas, sports fishing, bird watching and scenic cycling paths are all located just a short distance away from the hostel.
In fact, there is a cycling/walking path along the entire river. Let us show you how easy it is to discover the true Niagara, not the tour bus, tourist trap version.
Our hostel is located in a quiet, very safe/secure area that is only 5-7 minutes from the waterfalls and the fun night-time entertainment districts. No long dark night-time walks back to the hostel after visiting the falls the or the vibrant club, pub and restaurant/entertainment district.
Owned and operated by experienced travellers that understand what backpacking is all about. A very comfortable place to sleep first of all. A value experience, where meeting people in a fun, clean, safe and healthy environment is what matters most. We live in the building and we get to know you and we care about how your trip is going, where you've been and what you want out of your holiday.
Lots of free advice/ideas about unique things to do in the area and we can help you plan your ongoing travel and adventures in canada and the usa.
Our self contained, apartment style hostel is perfect for groups and families too! Our dorms contain custom made beds designed for adults and the all the rooms have lots of space, not crammed with bunks or double beds in a broom closet.
And new for 2013 we now have custom built female only dorms located in our apartments specially designed for females. Luxury in a backpackers environment.
Superb location is only a five to seven minute walk to falls and entertainment area and yet we are located in a quiet, very safe and secure neighbourhood. After your day of exploring the river and visiting the falls we have some awesome live music pubs, night clubs and great restaurants very close to our hostel (not a 30-40 minute walk away along a dark road.)

We also offer work for accommodations year round. Many different roles are available. Come help us get even better! (it's karma) bring a couple friends and come down and get some Canadian work references while saving money and enjoying the year round activities of the Niagara region.
Very convenient and sooo cheap access from USA/Buffalo too. The Buffalo airport is a local, city bus ride away from our hostel for only $4.00!!!
...and we all shine on...
Avoid this place, its the worst hostel i've ever been to. the check-in was strange, we were tired from the travel and wanted to go to our room, but instead we got a one hour lecture from the dogmatic owner.
he told us that we are crazy, because we were only staying for one night. actually we were very lucky about that fact, because we had to share our bed with lots of blood thirsty bedbugs.
so we couldnt sleep at all, because they bit us all over our bodys. if you like bedbugs its the right place for you.
itself the hostel was nice and clean. the breakfast was nothing special.
I'd rather spend the night at the beautiful niagara falls than in this hostel.
I am a bit surprised by such high ratings of this hostel. Hostel is ok, but if you see such incredibly high ratings you really expect something spectacular.
Facts are like below:
- very young and very friendly staff who do their best to serve people as good as possible
- building needs BIG renovation!!!!!!!!!!!! on the highest floor is standing a bucket for the water dropping from the ceiling!!!
- rooms in general clean, but because of the condition of the builing, the overal impression of cleaniness is worse
- breakfast is minimal; if you are a little skinny girl maybe you will be satisfied
- location- quite good! not so far from niagara falls
- climate - i missed climate of other hostels, where you meet real travellers, which is thrilling.
to sum up- the place is ok, but ratings around 90-100% are exaggerated. I chose this hostel, because of these ratings, and was very disappointed seing a builing screaming for renovation.
Ok so the location is convenient and fairly close to the main areas, the owner is informative, the volunteers are nice and the muffins are good, etc. The value is average for a hostel and the place is kept neat and clean. EXCEPT....for the fact it's infested with bed bugs. I'm from NY so I know the pain and hell it took to clean up my stuff and suffer the bites, but I my worse fear came true when I got infested from this place from just one night! I talked to this girl who did not know what her bites were and she was covered on her arms so it was a sign for me to run the hell out..but I was so tired after a 12 hour bus ride I asked for a new room. Forgot the fact the owner treats the rooms with some custom made heat machine to kill them bc it's infested in the entire building and they only treat a few rooms at a time. They keep coming back of course from traveller's such as yourselves so it's a hard thing to manage, but here are ways they can prevent it.
- Treat the whole stinking building not just the rooms
- Toss all the ratty old mattresses with holes in them as they are the best breeding grounds.
- Replace the old wooden bunk bed frames with metal frames
- Replace the mattresses with new plastic foam type mattresses.
- Be honest and give credit and free room to those who were bit! So many people think it's just spiders or ants. The bites itch like a hell and last for weeks with scarring if you scratch.
I wrap myself up like a burrito when i sleep due to mosquitos so i didn't get bit that night, but i saw a huge adult on my sheet in the morning and freaked out so killed it. little did i know they infested my bags and i brought them to my friend's nice apartment in toronto and spent endless days washing and cleaning their place and my stuff. I was bit all over my neck and hands and feet. I looked like I had the measles and people stared at me on the streets. Ugh!
For those of you who don't know what bedbugs are do your research! you can get it any hotel/motel too so it's always a risk, but this place for sure has them so just want to warn you.
You can buy a travel size bed bug spray at your local hardware store, but you need to do more than just plastic bags to keep them away. they hide in your shoes, outer suitcase, etc.
Be smart and ask what type of mattress the hostel uses.
Sorry ACBB, you were cool as people, but your facility cost me way more in time, fear, suffering and money for cleaning costs in the end. Since the owner is a businessman, he needs to know that you have to invest money into improvements to have more client satisfaction and success.
The host loves to talk -- and talk and talk and talk. He also likes to control your travels -- I heard him harangue one woman for 20-30 min because she wasn't interested in an attraction he recommended. (And during this time there were a number of people waiting to check out, ask for directions, etc.) Instead of permitting travellers to post notices and organize their own excursions, he insists on pushing his preferred tours.
All this could be forgiven if there were decent facilities (kitchen, laundry, etc) and if the place was reasonably clean. If you stay here, bring plastic bags to seal your bags in so you don't bring little travellers home with you -- by the time I left I was covered in bites.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I had a great time! It only takes about five minutes or so to get to the falls.
Clifton Hill is ridiculous, but hiking down to the river is great! That looks more how I imagined Niagara Falls. Maid of the Mist was really cool, too! The hostel is great. The people are very nice, the beds comfortable, the showers have water pressure. And it's clean. Would definitely come back here.
I have just returned from a planned stay at this Hostel and I can honestly say that my stay could not have gone worse. My group of two guys and two girls went to Niagara with the intention of seeing the famous landmarks and enjoying a social night out in the nearby nightclubs.
We arrived in the late afternoon with a fully planned schedule of what we wished to see and do, upon our arrival we were greeted by Patrick, the hostel owner who kept us in unnecessary conversation for over an hour which meant that we did not have sufficient time to fulfill all our plans. In addition, our party was put into a room with one other guest who was due to depart at 3 am in the morning, which we felt was quite inconsiderate to us.
We returned to the Hostel around 8pm for showers and some food. The showers were extreme, either extremely hot or ice cold and could of done with a good scrub. We had planned to have a few social drinks in our bedroom before we went out to the local nightclubs, but felt that to do so would be rude towards the other lone guest. Instead we decided to have our couple of beers in the kitchen. We made sure that Patrick the owner was ok with this and he even told us where would be the best place to buy drink and go out.
Later that evening at around midnight Shelly and Patrick both came up screaming at us to leave the hostel. They were cursing at us and acted extremely aggressively, threatening the boys. Neither of the owners had asked us to keep quite or to stop consuming alcohol on the premises before they came up demanding that we leave immediately. We can only assume that these are the reasons that we got kicked out as no reasons were given to us. We pleaded with the owners not to through us out as we did not know the area well and had absolutely no where else to stay at such a late hour. We apologised over and over again and assured them that we would go straight to bed and not utter another word, but to no avail.
As we tried to hastily gather our belongings in our shocked and emotional states we were threatened with violence and were verbally attacked. Patrick even went as far to call the cops on us, accusing us of refusing to leave the premises, when we infact were being fully compliant and were merely trying to gather our things. As we felt that we were being grossly mistreated we asked if we could get a refund as we had not stayed the night in his hostel. Patrick then threatened one of the male members of the group to "kick his ass", at this point we were so stressed from the affair that we fled the hostel leaving much of our belongings behind us. Once we left the hostel we were told "run away if we know whats good for us". We begged Patrick for a refund as we had very little money and no where else to stay and violently and reluctantly threw it at us.
Luckily we found other accomodation at the Days Inn Hotel just down the street, however we did have to pay over the odds for somewhere to stay at such short notice.
All in all, all members of our party feel that the actions of Patrick ruined our stay and experience of Niagara Falls. I would not recommend this hostel to anybody under any circumstances and I would even go as far as to say that ACBB Hostel should be investigated by authorities due to malpractices and threats of violence. I can honestly say that I do not know how every other review of this hostel has been of praise. From further investigation I have uncovered some reviews which are similar to mine and also outline extreme behaviour from the owners. I urge all travelers to avoid this hostel at all costs.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We arrived just on dark to find this hostel almost deserted with no obvious reception area. We got bad vibes just about from the start. We called out and eventually a man came; he had no knowledge of our booking, seemed quite 'out of it' and quite unkempt. Once we showed him our booking, he agreed to show us a room.
The room was okay very basic, but clean enough. However, due to the atmosphere, deserted nature of the place, the assistant's appearance and the flimsy doors and locks, we did not feel comfortable / safe in staying. When we expressed this to the assistant he immediately got on the phone to the owner, who insisted on talking with us and aggressively demanded to know what the problem was. He informed us that as they had a 24 hour cancellation policy, they would have to charge our credit card the full amount. We had no argument with that. We reluctantly agreed to stay. However, once we did so, the assistant immediately told us that the only terms of payment were cash – these are not the terms specified on standard confirmation of booking form they sent us.
We put our bags in the room and headed out straight away for a few hours as the hostel was not the kind of place we wanted to spend any time in. Once we were out in the township and saw comparative prices of accommodation we realized that ours was grossly overpriced. We found alternative accommodation for the same price that was much more comfortable, secure and the attitude of the staff, totally professional and welcoming.
On return to the hostel we told the assistant that we would not be staying the night. He immediately demanded full payment in cash. We replied that he had our credit card details and could charge that the full cost for the night. At that point he became aggressive, demanding the money and phoning his boss at the same time. He became quite threatening, told us to "get out of the hostel" and to "get out of Canada" and proceeded to follow us out onto the road, continuing to threaten us at which point we felt our safety was in jeopardy. We drove away as fast as we could and were quite shaken by the experience. We have reviewed other reviews of this hostel and it is hard to believe it is the same place, staff and owner – perhaps there has been a change in ownership? WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT OTHER TRAVELLERS STAY THERE, ESPECIALLY WOMEN.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
really great stay, patrick the owner was very helpful with his tips and advice about the places to go and visit.
The breakfast is a great addition and the muffins were amazing!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Not only is the owner a genuinely lovely man, he also put on the best breakfast spreads I saw on my travels. His home baked blueberry muffins are to die for. Plus, if you have a problem or you want advice he is more than happy to help you out. He even has a recipe to help sunburn - and believe me it works! The hostel itself is lierally 2mins from the main street where all the action is, plus the baclonies are a great way to chill out after a long day getting drenched by the Falls.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Perfect Place to stay while you are visiting the Niagara Falls. Very nice service, home-like atmosphere and wonderful morning surprise with handmade muffins. Highly recommended.

Will ice impact your day on Friday? That depends greatly on where you live. The FOX 5 Storm Team is tracking cold temps and moisture headed our way, and it could bring freezing rain and sleet to some parts of north Georgia. FOX 5 Storm Team meteorologist Joanne Feldman says cloudy and cold conditions are in place early Friday morning with very dry air at the surface. Because of the dry air,
initially any precipitation will evaporate before reaching the ground. This should leave most of the morning commute free
of any significant icing. Feldman says the bigger threat for ice accumulation will be the northeast Georgia mountains and areas east of Jasper and Gainesville. Accumulations should average around 1/10".
Motorists are urged to exercise caution when driving, especially near overpasses and bridges.The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning is in effect for 10 counties in northeast Georgia including Fannin, Gilmer and Hall Counties. The warning is in effect from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. A Winter Storm Watch in effect for numerous counties in north Georgia, including Bartow, Chattooga, Cherokee, Forsyth, Habersham, and Union. The watch is in effect from late Thursday night into Friday evening. A Freezing Rain Advisory was also issued for dozens of counties, including metro Atlanta. That advisory is in effect from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday. Here's a timeline of how the winter weather is expected to impact our area on Friday:
Friday 6-9am – Cloudy and cold conditions are in place early this
morning with very dry air at the surface. Because of the dry air,
initially any precipitation will evaporate before reaching the ground.
This should leave most of the morning commute free
of any significant icing. A Winter
Storm Warning is in effect for mainly the northeast Georgia mountains and areas
northeast of Jasper and Gainesville. Ultimately, these areas will see a
bigger ice threat than metro Atlanta. Ice accumulations in the Winter
Storm Warning area should average no more than 1/10".
Friday 9am-Noon – Precipitation
will start across the northernmost counties of the state (mainly Fannin,
Gilmer, Union, Towns, and Rabun counties). This could start as a
little bit of sleet before changing over to a cold rain or some patchy freezing
rain for spots. South of that, including the heart of the metro, the
precip may not be starting just yet. Our
computer forecast models this morning are holding off most of the precipitation
in Atlanta and southward until the afternoon when temperatures would be above
freezing. Even so, for late morning, be aware that any precipitation that
is falling may freeze on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses.
Isolated slick spots are possible from Atlanta through the northern suburbs.
Friday Noon – Showers beginning for most of the metro area. Keep in mind, amounts will be
light. For most of the metro the freezing rain threat will be very brief
if at all and could kick off a few icy spots on roadways. However, these
spots should be few and far between for the metro and more likely confined to
north and northeast Georgia.
Friday 3-6pm – Any precipitation in the metro Atlanta area would simply
be rain. Some freezing precipitation
still possible in extreme northeast parts of the state.
Areas south of I-20 are unlikely to even see much measurable rain – and frozen
precipitation looks very unlikely in these areas at any time today due to
warmer temperatures.
Friday Evening – The slower arrival of precipitation with this system
means most of the light rain for Atlanta may not happen until early evening
when temperatures would support only rain. Any rain will be tapering off
and moving out by 10-11pm.

If you have a disability,
chances are you have a hard time getting inexpensive insurance (or any private
insurance) and a job.
As someone actively
involved in disability rights, I regularly hear from disabled people who have
been discriminated against by insurance companies.
The Rev. Clyde Shideler,
who is blind, wrote me, "I have been denied insurance and given rates so high
that I could not possibly afford to pay them."
Bruce Robb wrote, "I have
been told by some employers that their insurance will be terminated if they were
to hire persons with certain types of disabling conditions."
Another person wrote, "I'm
in the process of buying a house with my partner. We applied for income
protection insurance and because of my epilepsy my premiums are twice as high as
my partner's."
Disabled persons bear the
brunt of an insurance market that often offers them an inferior or exorbitantly
priced policy compared to what nondisabled persons can buy. This, in turn, could
exclude them from a job because insurance often comes through one's employment.
Any condition which makes one appear to be a risk to the insurance industry also
makes them a risk for the employer.
Over the last couple of
years, disabled persons have been challenging insurance underwriting practices
in court.
In February 2000, Howard
Chabner, a lawyer who uses a wheelchair, brought a case against United of Omaha
Life Insurance for charging him nearly double the standard life insurance
premium. Chabner asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that
charging a disabled man an arbitrarily high life insurance premium violates
federal and state laws on equal access to public accommodations under the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The court found that
United "irrationally" discriminated against Chabner because it did not rely on
experience or data when determining the premium to charge him. If United were to
come up with sound actuarial data, theoretically it could charge Chabner more,
and this would not be irrational discrimination. It would be "rational"
discrimination based on the insurers' need to make profits.
Now comes a lawsuit filed
by Californians for Disability Rights along similar lines. Attorneys filed suit
under the state's "unfair business practices" violation code. They allege that
Bank of America advertises free life insurance of up to $1,000 to customers who
pass the bank's "Good Health Statement." But to qualify, customers must verify
that they haven not been treated by a doctor in the last five years for a host
of conditions to be eligible for the plan.
The plaintiffs allege that
the insurance industry is falsely linking low life expectancies with those who
have certain disabilities. They rightly claim if one had polio as a child, that
does not equate with death at an early age. However this argument poses
problems since a number of disabled persons will still be excluded from
insurance protection by actuarial data.
Does everyone need life
insurance? Maybe not, but "rational" discrimination spills over into other vital
insurance markets like health care and can have dire life consequences.
Insurance corporations have found ways to eliminate segments of the disabled
population from the insurance pool by making terms unaffordable or insufficient
to meet one's needs.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals has held that disabled persons are guaranteed equal access to
insurers' goods and services. This bars underwriters from refusing entirely to
issue a policy to a disabled person, but does not prevent them from issuing
inferior goods.
The ADA does not forbid
disability benefit plans that provide more generous coverage for physical
injuries than for mental disabilities, seven federal courts of appeals found.
Employers are free to exercise disparate treatment of mental and physical
conditions. Insurers could limit benefits and restrict coverage. They could also
cap policies and sell disabled persons a limited selection of a product.
Some courts merged these
findings into the general rule that the ADA regulates access to, but not the
content of, insurance policies.
It seems that insurance
litigation has led us to a stand-off. Those persons with disabilities that
provide no basis for "rational" discrimination could be treated on par with
nondisabled persons, but those whose impairments do generate higher risk will
just be out of luck.
The crux of the problem is
relying on the insurance market to produce a just outcome when insurance markets
exercise "rational" discrimination and exclude some disabled Americans from the
protections afforded others.
Today, thousands and
thousands of disabled persons have to fend for themselves in the workplace. They
do not have a fair shot at getting a job or adequate insurance. Such
unsatisfactory outcomes call for a universal guarantee to health care, one that
does not depend on degree of disability or ability to work.
Recent reports indicate
that health insurance premiums will likely "surge" at double-digit rates next
year for all insured persons. USA Today reports increased costs for prescription
drugs, hospital care and doctors will likely force health insurers to raise
premiums next year by13%, 20%, even 50%. Rising medical costs may force
employers and employees to "make tough and costly choices." This will most
likely translate into higher employee costs, more co-pays, and less coverage.
As adequate private
insurance becomes less available through employment, there is an opportunity
revive the largely forgotten principle of social justice in health care — now
absent in the bourgeois U.S. "rational" for profit system. We need to make sure
that disability issues are included in any radical analysis.

A day-long rescue operation has ended outside the police station in North Nashville.
It began when somebody saw a group of puppies huddled in a culvert next to the Metro Police North Precinct.
The animal rescue group East CAN then posted a picture of the puppies on Facebook and a request for help. Soon, folks started showing up to help catch the puppies as they huddled in the storm drain.
The group rescued eight puppies Thursday, who are now each in warm foster homes.

If you are contemplating a religious vocation Chiasma is a program that gathers students in community around re-imagining religious vocation. Students exploring life-work defined by spirituality, or contemplating graduate work in religious studies, or pursuing religious-spiritual leadership in either religious or secular communities, meet twice a month over dinner to bring focus to the changing landscape of religious vocation in the modern world. Within the vocational ecology of dialogue, shared narratives, field trips and more, students live at the intersection of chiasmic exchanges that provide new depth and dimension to vocational perspectives. Beyond gaining information or answers to vocational questions, students find an orientation and new footing with which to re-imagine the shape of religious vocations.
Please email Eily Marlow at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in taking part in this community.
Seminary Visits
The Lilly Project also offers scholarships to visit seminary, divinity and rabbinical school for those students contemplating a religious vocation. For more information, email Eily Marlow at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Internet Backups - It's Better To Be Safe Than Sorry
Internet Backups – It's Better To Be Safe Than Sorry
Like many people out there, you may find yourself currently grappling over whether or not to sign up for an internet backup service. You are not alone. In recent years internet backups have emerged as one of the leading methods of data management for businesses and individuals. In fact, internet backup services have, over the past few years, displaced local backups and on site methods of storing backup data. Many organizations are enjoying the unprecedented freedom of functioning without using huge piles of hardware.
One of the key reasons so many businesses and individuals are switching to online internet backups is for the protection and security they offer. Data is precious, and it is tremendously important for companies to keep their files protected from various catastrophic events. Unfettered by hardware that is vulnerable to loss or damage, online storage emerges as the most sensible way to protect the company's data. However, there are a lot internet backup services which provide different plans in order to be able to meet the various needs of individuals and organizations alike. For this reason, it is always important to determine your needs as this will guide you on the best type of service that you ought to choose.

The Basics
Internet data backup services allow individuals and organizations to store media files, files, documents, and digital contents online for a significant period of time. However, this is dependent on the amount of storage space available. One of the most useful and distinctive qualities of internet backup systems is that, in the event that your hard disk is stolen or damaged, you are always still able to retrieve your data anywhere across the globe. That has always turned out to be a good idea compared to the price you have to pay. So, for example, if a cup of copy goes over your hard drive, or your desk bursts into flames destroying your computer, all you would need to do to access your files and your precious data is wander down town to the nearest internet café or retrieve them for someone else's computer. You do not need to purchase a new desktop or a new external hard drive in order to be able to retrieve your data.
Portable and Connective
One of the great things about online backup is how portable it makes your data – the moment you backup your files safely, you can be able to view them from your mobile phone, internet account, or through a tablet, wherever you are. Furthermore, internet backup services also allow individuals and organizations to back up files from multiple PCs, although tread carefully – this may result into slower transfer speeds and additional costs. Indeed, it is always important to ensure that you do not backup data that exceeds the available disk space quota as this will result into slower speeds when it comes to uploading or downloading data.
Choosing A Provider
There are various internet backup providers that provide this service that you are able to choose from. It is possible to search for these backup providers through the internet or you can seek assistance from your close confidantes who have used these services before. Regardless of what your requirements may be, you will always find an internet backup provider that will be able to attend to your needs and budget.
A good internet backup service will enable you to be able to categorize, organize and keep track of your data without worrying whether they are still intact or not. Most of the internet backup providers always offer unrestricted storage of data without the need of manual configuration. Being able to backup your data online not only allows you to save time, money, and effort, but it is also protects your data from computer viruses, thieves, and accidental deletion. Embrace the future with internet backups – it will revolutionize the way you manage your data forever.

After three years of being closed, Celanese near Pampa is set to re-open as a methanol plant.When the gates to the old Celanese plant reopen in 2014, the location will have a new purpose and will help bring life back to Pampa. "Local businesses and companies are growing and expanding. We've had new businesses coming to Pampa, new companies... It's all really exciting," said Clay Rice, the Executive Director of Pampa's Economic Development Corporation. Adding to that excitement is the development of a new methanol plant. G2X Energy based out of Houston started construction in January.By June 2014, they expect the first phase of the plant to be up and running. The company is looking to fill 40 jobs once construction is complete, but with that, millions of dollars could be heading into the Pampa economy. "There's about 150 or 155 million dollars of direct and indirect investment going into the economy," said Matt Whitaker, the Vice President of G2X Energy. "It's pretty substantial for the community," he added.Rice says the construction and money from this project will help boost the local economy and contribute to the growth of the area. "Added diversification, more jobs, good paying jobs, it's just something that the community loves to see any time we can have something like that occur here," Rice said.Currently, there are over 300 construction jobs that have been created and filled to get the new methanol plant complete.
