|Watch the U.S. Census Bureau video "Where Do I Fill Out the Census?"
EAU CLAIRE — Announcements on Facebook, table tents in the dining halls, posters, banners, classroom announcements and door hangers are just a few of the myriad of ways the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is planning to get the word out to students about the importance of participating in the 2010 U.S. census.
The census, required by the U.S. Constitution, is conducted every 10 years. The Census Bureau counts every person in the United States where they live most of the year.
Students attending UW-Eau Claire need to be counted in Eau Claire, said Jodi Thesing-Ritter, associate dean of students and co-chair of the UW-Eau Claire Complete Count Committee, which is in charge of publicizing the importance of UW-Eau Claire students participating in the 2010 census.
"Census data will affect students in many ways, so we want to educate them about the importance of filling out and returning the 2010 census," Thesing-Ritter said. "Census numbers are used to allocate federal funds to states and communities, which affects funding for education and college tuition grant and loan programs. The census information is used to make decisions about funding critical services in the academic community, like transportation and public safety, and informs and supports important research done by college faculty and students."
Students will be assisting in efforts to get fellow students to fill out and return the census, said Katelyn Kufahl, a UW-Eau Claire Student Senate representative co-chairing the UW-Eau Claire Complete Count Committee.
"Students will be handing out literature on the campus mall, manning information tables at events, visiting classrooms to make announcements and placing informational materials around campus, among other things," Kufahl said. "We know the census data will have an impact on our university so it's important that we do our part to get student participation."
Thesing-Ritter said students living off campus or with family members will receive their census questionnaire in the mail in March. Census takers will coordinate with Housing and Residence Life staff to distribute and collect census questionnaires in residence halls between April 1 and May 15.
"Students studying abroad April 1 will not be counted," Thesing-Ritter said."International students attending UW-Eau Claire, however, do need to fill out the census."
According to the Census Bureau, the census is 10 questions long and asks about people living in the household — including name, age, date of birth, sex and race — and questions about the household in general. The Census Bureau notes that the information is completely confidential. By law, the information cannot be shared with anyone, including government agencies, law enforcement or courts.
"We want students to know there are very good reasons to participate in the census and no reason not to," Thesing-Ritter said.
For more information on the 2010 census, go to the United States Census 2010 Web page. For information regarding UW-Eau Claire's efforts to maximize participation, contact Jodi Thesing-Ritter at firstname.lastname@example.com or 715-836-2325.

Sustainable Swim Centers
Sunshade screens protect the natatorium from brutal sun on the southern exposure, while also serving as a canvas for art at the East Oakland Sports Center in Oakland, Calif.
David Wakely
Large, strategically placed fans keep air moving and reduce the need for dehumidification operations at the East Oakland Sports Center in Oakland, Calif.
Swim centers are not, by nature, particularly green buildings. Heating pool water involves a substantial energy drain. Indoor facilities require substantial mechanical equipment to dehumidify and condition the air. Air quality suffers from the chlorine in the water. Nevertheless, new technologies and creative design strategies can go a long way to cutting electricity use and making these facilities healthier.
Variable-speed filter pumps are becoming more standard, enabling more control over the amount of energy required to operate the pool. A low-tech energy-saving solution is to cover the surface of the water with energy blankets during nighttime hours, when the pool is not in use. These blankets significantly reduce the loss of heat, water, and chemicals through evaporation, lowering operating costs. From a design point of view, the blankets pose a storage challenge; they take up substantial room when rolled up during the day, yet they should be placed close to the water to encourage operations staff to deploy them regularly. Generally, the goal is to provide a storage area that parallels one side of the pool for both easy deployment and storage.
Evaporation can be an even bigger issue for outdoor pools, especially in windy climates. Strong breezes can also disrupt competition by creating waves and cooling the water. Strategic placement of the locker and shower building or other structures can help block prevailing winds. When the Burgess Community Center in Menlo Park, Calif., was renovated and expanded in 2004 with the addition of three outdoor pools, they were sited carefully so that the locker room facility, administrative facility, and mechanical building shield the water from wind on two sides.
While too much wind can be a challenge for outdoor facilities, indoor facilities have the opposite problem: They require a significant amount of air movement. At the East Oakland Sports Center, which was completed in 2011 and awarded LEED Silver certification, four large fans are part of a high-efficiency mechanical system. The fans are an energy-efficient way to provide much-needed air movement, which in turn reduces the need for dehumidification operations.
Built in 2005, the Morgan Hill Recreation Center in Morgan Hill, Calif.—the first outdoor aquatics facility to receive LEED Silver certification in the nation —not only uses its affiliated structures to shield the pool from the winds on one side, but also incorporates a row of 30-foot-high cloth "wind sails" to block the prevailing winds and reduce heat and water loss due to evaporation. This low-cost windscreen is semipermeable to avoid creating turbulence on the other side. It also serves as a marker for the facility, as it is visible from the freeway.
The Burgess Community Center cuts energy costs by relying on solar thermal heaters. After pool water is pumped into the mechanical building for treatment, it is sent through pipes in the roof, where sunlight preheats the water, up to 10 degrees, before the mechanical system heats the water the rest of the way. At Morgan Hill Recreation Center, the floor slab of the shower area is equipped with a heat-recovery system that extracts heat out of drain water that would otherwise be lost, putting it to use to preheat cold water entering the building.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

U.S. indicts 43 in probe of warring Mexican drug cartels
Stephen Meiners, tactical analyst for Latin America at STRATFOR, a Texas-based
global intelligence company, said there is a risk that the arrest of the
Floreses might lead to a violent battle for control of the Chicago distribution
network. Chicago police say they have noticed no uptick in drug-related violence
connected with the arrests.
Meiners said Chicago is a natural hub for Mexican traffickers because of its
central geography and infrastructure, such as the warehouses and highways that
the Flores twins allegedly used for distribution. Also, traffickers like working
in areas with high Mexican populations because they then have the ability to
exert control over their foot soldiers in the U.S. by threatening relatives back
in Mexico, Meiners said.
"I think it's almost inevitable that we're going to see escalation on both sides
of the border," Meiners said.
"As the cartels extend the geography in fighting over control of territory, the
turf wars are going to follow them."
Great job, Stephen! You owned the last part of the article.

Adding SSL cert brought Apache down
I was trying to step through adding a cert to one of my sites using ISPConfig 184.108.40.206. I made it to adding the SSL and bundle, told it to save, and the whole server froze. I have no idea where I went wrong, but my log shows:
Unable to configure RSA server private key
I know one thing that I might have missed was changing the IP address from * to the actual address. If I got to command prompt to restart apache, all it says is:
httpd (pid 13791?) not running
Is there anything to I can do to restart the whole process? I'd be happy to remove the changes and start over, but I don't know where to start. I can get to server files, and Mysql tables, but nothing running on Apache.
I sort of fixed it. I went in a commented out the SSL lines in the apache2/sites-available/ vhosts file for the domain I was working on. After an apache restart I was able to get back into ISPConfig 3 and deleted the certificate that was there, and unchecked SSL for the site. The problem now is I must have changed something without knowing. I can't get to my site at all, but I can get to ISPConfig, and there's no entry in the error log when I try to see my site. An apache restart gives:
_default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence
I still need to add the certificate that started all this, but I don't want to make the same mistakes. Is there any step by steps to doing the certs in ISPC3? I just checked the SSL page, and it still shows something in the 'SSL Certificate' and 'SSL Request' boxes.
Your problem is that you added a ssl certificate tht was not based on the csr created by ispconfig, so the private keys dont matched and apache was not able to start namyore. You have to reissue the certificate and this time use the csr that was created by ispconfig to create the signed certificate.
Also. I'm not clear on the IP address. The web server is behind a load balancer, which is behind a router. I have 5 IP addresses, and one of them is now routed to the local address at the load balancer. ISPConfig server IP is set to local address of the load balancer.
Here's an even bigger question. I don't know how I missed it, but HAProxy can't do SSL. I'm told that I need to install apache and mod_ssl on my LB' nodes. First I have to find a how-to for that. But that made me wonder now where the certificates get installed.
I'm really wondering if I should do away with haproxy, get rid of the LB nodes, and just run heartbeat on the server to do failover.
Similar to my request in another post -- does anyone have any follow-up on this?
And what is your exact question? Please make a new post for your issue instead of posting in other threads.
Wow -- can't win with some people.
The problem is that in most cases, poeple post to threads because they think they are related but they are not really related to the problem. Or a problem in a thread is to a specific version of a software and does not apply to current versions. Thats why it is better to make a new thread for a problem and post the exact problem description and error messages that you got.
Understood. Once I've collected my thoughts I will post under a separate thread to ensure that I've explained everything as clearly as possible (or at least tried).
Thanks again and sorry for being a bit testy -- late night last night and an early morning. Makes for a bad combination.

What is the real meaning of 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 "The Prayer of Jabez?"
1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain." Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested. (NASB)
The narrative concerning Jabez is found in the midst of detailed genealogy concerning the descendents of Judah.
The purpose of the genealogy is to show the faithfulness of God in sustaining a descendent line in fulfillment of His covenant with Abraham. It was stated through the prophet that the Messiah would come through Judah's descendents (Genesis 49:10). The detail and order of the genealogy demonstrate the sovereign care of God to fulfill all He promises (1 Chron 9:1). As with Enoch (Genesis 5:22), who was being recorded in the midst of detailed genealogy, the writer broke with the genealogy and commented on him in reference to his special relation with God. So here, the writer breaks with the mundane listing of names to comment on an unusual man of faith in his day. Jabez is singled out from his kin and apparent brothers (assuming the statement "than his brothers" is referring to those immediately listed in the last verse) Anub, Zobehah, and Aharhel as being more honorable. The idea of honorable here is to be set apart by being distinguished or noble. This idea of special nobility is contrasted with a background comment about his miserable beginnings and name. He was named by his mother as a person of poor expectation. She was so troubled by the pain he caused her in birth that she named him accordingly (his name means pain or grief). So his notoriety of being honorable did not come from his name or heritage, and was in fact likely something difficult "humanly speaking" for him to overcome. How was he then more honorable? The passage tells us he was honorable because of his relationship with God – seen by his faith in God. "Jabez called on the God of Israel." The title "God of Israel" is given to clearly show that he wasn't just a religious man, but a man in communion with the only true God.
We deduct from the position of his genealogy in accordance with others in the same general context and time frame, and find Othniel in verse 4:13 who is the nephew of Caleb (Josh 15:17). The importance of this is that it places the context generational living time of Jabez from the time during the wars for possession of the land into the time of partial possession in the book of Judges. The spiritual condition of Israel in the time of Judges is given in Judges 2:10 that after the death of Joshua "there arose a generation who did not know the Lord." It is further reiterated in Judges 5:11 (the next verse) "the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord." It is into this generation and culture that we find the meaning of honorable or noble when speaking of Jabez. He was different than his brothers. He was different than his generation in general. Like Enoch in his day (Gen 5:22) he obviously knew the Lord.
There was one other cultural issue to understand regarding Jabez and his time. As a Jew he was responsible in his relationship and worship of the true God to be obedient unto all God had commanded. His near forefathers (likely his grandparents) had wondered in the desert 40 years for elimination of an entire generation for their disobedience, and lack of faith in not entering the promise land as commanded by God. By the time Jabez became a man the Jews were in the promise land, but had not completed what God commanded. They had become content and compromising, and had not driven out all the inhabitants as God commanded, nor had they taken full possession of all the land. The history of this takes up a large portion of passages and difficulties of Israel with those nations and peoples remaining in the land (Numbers 34:1-19; Duet 11:24-28; 12:20; Joshua 15:1-63; 2 Kings 14:25-28). In Deuteronomy 11:22-28, in relation to the Mosaic Covenant of which all Israel was familiar, Moses says the following: "For if you are careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours, your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea. No man will be able to stand before you; the Lord your God will be the dread of you and the fear of you on all the land on which you set foot, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse; the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today; and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the Lord your God…" This is the foundational explanation then of why Jabez is honorable, and why Jabez is calling on God with a specific type of prayer. He was seeking God's help so that he might be obedient to God as stated by Moses for his circumstances in his generation.
The text just read, and its reiteration in a number of other passages answers the statement in Jabez prayer "oh that you would bless me indeed." This is clearly derived from the Mosaic Covenant just included – Moses statement: "see, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse." Jabez was desirous of pleasing God, and in that sense seeking His favor as a blessing. This was far from a self-centered prayer, as it was the will of God that His people function in obedience and thereby be blessed. Not only that, but Jabez recognized the necessity of the supernatural power of God to accomplish the task of "enlarging my border" and God's special protection "you would keep me from harm that it may not pain me."
The idea of "enlarging my border" was also far from a personal selfish ambition. This is shown clearly in contrast by the lack of faith of his brothers, and their contentment to co-exist with the pagans that God had commanded be destroyed (see Joshua 23:4-13). In addition, there is a listing of all the places and people Israel failed to conquer in Judges 1:27-36. Keep in mind that Joshua had allotted the tribes of Israel very specific portions of land. It was there responsibility to rid their land of remaining people (Joshua 18-19). They were later chastised by the statement from the angel of the Lord "you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars. But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done? Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare unto you" (Judges 2:2-3). Jabez was a man concerned to honor the Lord in his time, and the "enlargement" of his border had to do with the conquering of Israel's enemies who would ultimately turn the heads of Israel to foreign gods. He was asking God to help him complete the will of God as a faithful Israelite by taking full possession of the land God had given. This was a prayer having to do with faithfulness, not selfishness.
"God granted Jabez his request." We take from this that Jabez filled the role of ridding his portion of the land from those God had chosen to be removed, along with their pagan gods, and possessing the portion allotted to him in his time. He was able to do this as he stated because "Your hand might be with me."
By application – we see that Jabez was a man faithful to God in his time. He stood out from all the rest because of his desire to be obedient and do the revealed will of the Lord. This was something undoubtedly extremely difficult, and dangerous, and took the supernatural blessing of God to accomplish. God ultimately blessed Jabez in two obvious ways: He was present in His sovereignty with Jabez so that he was able to complete his righteous and committed task, and Jabez was recorded in God's Holy Word as a hero of the faith and someone to be emulated as honorable before the Lord. All of this despite the fact he carried the name "Jabez" with the meaning of grief. Practically speaking for those of us in our generation, who are also to be doing God's revealed will, being lights in the world, preaching the gospel, being witnesses, things difficult in our time requiring the hand of God. Jabez prayer motive is similar to the statement made in the context of ministry by our Lord "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." Jabez was desirous of doing God's will, and asked for strength and protection to complete it. He knew from whence his ability would come. Today, as we seek to live faithfully according to God's revealed will in our generation, as living sacrifices, and seek to be a blessing in our generation, and need the ability of God to perform it, we are in the same situation. We look to and call upon God.

Petru Popescu (born February 1, 1944 in Bucharest, Romania) is a Romanian-American writer, director and movie producer, author of best-selling[1] novels Almost Adam and Amazon Beaming.
A graduate of Spiru Haret high-school, he studied literature at the Bucharest University. His debut was a collection of poems, "Zeu printre blocuri" (A God Between Apartment Buildings). In 1969 he published "Prins" (Caught), a very successful novel, which launched him as a reference writer in Romanian literature. He went on a scholarship to Vienna (1971–1972), and in 1974 accepted an invitation from the University of Iowa to participate in the International Writing Program.
When Popescu defected to England in 1975, the Romanian government tried him for treason. All his works in Romania were destroyed, and he was forbidden to return to Romania, an edict that reversed when Nicolae Ceaușescu lost power in 1989.[2] A year later, Popescu moved to the United States, settling in Los Angeles.[3]
Popescu received a letter from Robert Redford inviting him to submit a script for consideration for the Sundance Film Festival. In 1983, Popescu took Death of an Angel to Sundance, where the script came to near finalization. The festival enabled him to find backers for the film, which was released in 1986.[4][5]

New to Climbing?
Never climbed before but want to give it a go? Climbed a couple of times, or a few years ago? Then we have the session for you.
We offer Taster sessions for adults and children, for adults they run both at the weekends or weekday evenings and at the weekends for children. Taster sessions are an opportunity to try climbing out in a relaxed and comfortable environment, ideal for those who have never tried this fun and versatile sport.
Alternatively we offer private lessons. We can be flexible with dates and times as the session is your own, so let us know what you would like to get out of your session. With private lessons we can book a maximum of 3 people per instructor and we can mix the ages, so if both father and son want a go, it's not a problem!
Good session? Want to learn to climb? If you feel climbing is for you, or your child, we have more options available for you!
For Adults:
– Our 'Adult Beginners Course' is a comprehensive program we run either during weekday evenings or over the weekend. During the course you will learn knot-tying and belay techniques as well as familiarising yourself with climbing equipment, centre rules and safety. The beginner's course will give you the skills you need to climb unsupervised at our centre.
– 'Adult Boulder Beginners' is a short course, giving you the know-how to be safe on our bouldering areas without supervision.
– Refresher Session: So you used to climb years ago and you're a little rusty on some of the essential techniques you need to be safe while climbing. We suggest you either take part in our Beginner's course or take a string of private lessons to get you back up to scratch. Please note there needs to be at least two participants.
For Kids:
Did your child enjoy their session? Would they like to get involved in regular climbing at White Spider? Then please check out our youth pages for our popular term time and holiday kids clubs.
More and detailed information below!
It's important you read through the 'Planning your visit' pages before attending White Spider. We've put all our frequently asked questions on this page to help you too!
"I completed the 6 hour Beginners Course. It was fantastic – everything I need to know with a fabulous instructor, who pitched the sessions at perfect level, good fun and a lovely guy!"
"Excellent! Really good, friendly and systematic instruction. Learnt loads – I'm hooked!!"
Can I come and have a go?
If you haven't climbed much before, we'd need you to book a session with one of our instructors or come and visit us with an experienced climber.
All instructed sessions at White Spider must be pre-booked as our sessions are popular, and do tend to get booked up in advance. We are very rarely able to cater for those who arrive and want a session then and there.
Want to check out the centre before booking a session?
Please come down and have a look, one of our friendly staff members will show you around. Additionally we have 2 auto-belays here at the centre, they're a system that work without the use of a belayer or instructor. We'll simply show you how to use them safely and you're free to give them a go on our climbing wall.
- Priced at £5 for every 15 minutes for both adults and children.
Once you've given the auto belays a go book a session with one of our skilled instructors to develop your overall climbing skills.
It's also worth considering the BMC participation statement before getting involved:
"The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement."

Want to learn how to climb?
If you want to learn, we want to teach you!
Like with learning to drive, we feel that repeated experience under instructor supervision will make you the best climber you can be. This can either be done through our beginners course (details below), or through a series of private lessons. Prebooking is essential for all our courses, as they do tend to get booked up in advance.
Beginners course
Benefits: The course provides an in-depth tuition in belaying, knot tying and risk management, allowing you to tackle all top ropes with independence and confidence. This is also a cost and time effective solution!
– 6 hours duration, across two 3 hour sessions.
– £95 per person
– Courses run on Mondays 7-10pm, Thursdays 7-10pm or at Weekends 10am-1pm or 4-7pm
– Give us a ring on 0208 397 0390 to book yourself in.
Please note: we need at least 2 people for a beginners course to run (it's hard to teach belaying with just one person..!), so courses may be rescheduled if they are undersubscribed.
Boulder Beginners:
Benefits: This course will teach you all you need to know to be allowed to boulder independently at White Spider – in just 1 hour!
– 1 hour duration
– £20.00 per person (Adults only)
– Courses run at 8.30 pm on Mondays and Saturdays at 2 pm.
– To book, give us a call on 0208 397 0390!

For more detailed pricing information, please see: Prices
If you have friends/relatives who are experienced climbers, see 'My friend is an experienced climber' below.
How do I book a session?
Prebooking is essential at White Spider, as our sessions do tend to get booked up in advance. We are also unable to take provisional bookings, so payment in full is required to secure any sessions or places.
This can either be done over the phone at 0208 397 0390, or in person at reception.
If you want to check our availability, feel free to email us here.
My friend is an experienced climber, can I visit White Spider with them?
Absolutely! They are allowed to supervise a maximum of 2 people. If they are the only experienced climber, they won't be allowed to use our ropes but they can belay for you. We are more than happy for you to boulder together.
You'd then just need to pay the standard entry fees and sign an Adult Supervised form, along with the Supervision register.
How do I get my kids involved?
We've got loads for kids to get involved with at White Spider, check out the 'Youth' pages here for more options.
I used to climb a few years ago, how can I get back into it?
We'd suggest you book a private lesson with one of our instructors to refresh your memory on all things climbing.
If you've had a really long gap, they may suggest you do a beginners course to fully remind yourself and make you the best climber you can be.
Failing that, we'd suggest you come down with some experienced climbers and ask them to supervise you the first few times. Once you feel confident you can climb independently, you can ask to go through the registration process and get signed off yourself.
I'm a disabled ambulant climber, what facilities does White Spider have?
We have an accessible disabled toilet on the ground floor. We also have instructors who are specifically trained to support disabled ambulant users. We are committed to being as inclusive as we can be, so please do contact us if you'd like to book or have any questions.

- " Nothing to point out, everyone was great! "
- 03 Dec 2014 Anonymous Portugal
- " I had a great stay without any problems. The staff is great! "
- 19 Nov 2014 Anonymous Argentina
- " The staff at Durty Nelly's were very friendly and helpful. Also, the location is great because it's in a very busy area, and withing walking distance of Anne Frank House, the central station for buses and trains, Dam Square, and many other attractions. It is a little noisy at night because it's right above their bar, so if you're a light sleeper the music may keep you up. "
- 24 Oct 2014 Anonymous USA
- " I have stayed just for 2 nights. After 1st night I have been told that I have to move to another room for next night. It did not cause me a problem at all but it wasnt convenient at all. I had to stay at upper bank bed which I did not wished. But anyhow great value for the price and you can enjoy the cheaper drinks at their bar. "
- 19 Oct 2014 Anonymous Czech Republic
- " Great bar with nice food and good staff. No real communal area as it is just a pub with accommodation really rather than a hostel. Breakfast is rather poor compared to the standard of the food provided for lunch/dinner. "
- 15 Oct 2014 Anonymous Ireland
- " Everything was perfect. Thank you very much. We will come the next time again to your hostel. "
- 02 Oct 2014 Anonymous Austria
- " Despite having a reservation, I arrived to find the hostel was overbooked & did not have a bed for me. Staff were apologetic & did their best to help by putting me up elsewhere — but even these efforts were problematic, as they accidentally booked a location different from the one they directed me to, with both being bizarre religious hostels. I appreciated the effort to help but the screw-up completely disrupted my stay. Not recommended. "
- 15 Sep 2014 Joshua USA
- " Nice hostel in the heart of amsterdam. Rooms are equipped spartanly but clean overall. Very friendly staff - always ready to help. "
- 14 Sep 2014 Anonymous Austria
- " While the hostel wasn't ideal for me (I was in Amsterdam as a stop-over heading to Leiden for work, not as a holiday), I could appreciate that Durty Nelly's was in a fantastic location for people looking to let loose and have a good time. The staff were the selling point for me - just fantastic people all around and extremely helpful when I was having a spot of trouble, even if they couldn't help out very much. "
- 12 Sep 2014 Elen Australia
- " I booked 8-bed dorm room, but after arrival they changed it to 6-bed, because of some noisy group in that 8-bed. It was very nice. The room was nice and clean. There were only 3 cons: There was no socket near to my bed, no kitchen in hostel and really awfull view from window. Eventhough, hostel has a really good position, close to the red light district and I would highly reccomend staying in this hostel for anyone who wants to stay close to city center and train station in the same time.

TSUNAMI-PARADISE Jan-28-2005 (580 words) With photos posted Jan. 27 and 28. xxxi
Between setting sun, rising moon, JRS discovers beachhead of horror
By Paul Haring
Catholic News Service
ACEH ISLAND, Indonesia (CNS) -- The sun set over Aceh island, a bright ball disappearing into the Indian Ocean. On the other end of the island, a nearly full moon glowed over coconut trees on the mountains overlooking the fishing villages of Lampuyang and Lhoh.
Between the setting sun and the rising moon was a beachhead of horror: fallen coconut trees, rotting corpses and a tangle of domestic debris discovered by volunteers from Jesuit Refugee Service who arrived on the island by boat Jan. 24.
Villages were completely destroyed on Aceh island, about a two-hour boat ride from the city of Banda Aceh on the tip of Sumatra island. JRS staffers found cattle huddled in the midst of debris; in the mountains, dogs howled as staffers moved farther inland.
The JRS team that arrived nearly one month after the Dec. 26 tsunamis was the first relief group to visit the island. Team members planned to survey the damage and make plans to return displaced villagers. They were joined by a small army of volunteers who helped bury the dead.
Some of the volunteers were island residents, who told stories of how survivors had lived on coconuts for six days until journeying by boat to Banda Aceh, where many were placed in camps.
Munadi, 20, was one of the villagers who volunteered to return to help with the cleanup. Before he left the island, be buried 80 villagers, including his mother, and he said he felt a sense of obligation to help further.
Munadi, who also lost two sisters in the disaster, said that he was nearly drowned in the tsunamis. He said that as the water approached he and many villagers ran to the mosque.
"We hoped the house of God would survive the tsunami" and its waves as tall as the coconut trees, he said. The waves pulled Munadi back toward the ocean, but he survived because he got stuck on a coconut tree.
Munadi, a Muslim, said the tsunami had strengthened and deepened his faith in God. He spoke of how even though he had lost many in his family "this is just God showing the might of God." Munadi said he wants to return to the island to live.
JRS volunteer Rheza Loekito, a young medical doctor and also a Muslim, said he believes the tsunami was "a punishment and a warning from God" because of the decades-long conflict between the government and the separatist rebels seeking independence from Indonesia.
Only 600 of about 1,500-2,000 villagers in Lampuyang and Lhoh survived the tsunami. Volunteers told how 300 children survived because they were in school at the time, and their teachers helped them run to the hills, which formed a steep barricade to the high waters. The villages were right along the seashore.
Huge piles of wood, fallen coconut trees, and all kinds of household items -- pots, plates, clothes and a sewing machine -- littered the beach.
College-age volunteers from a civic group in the town of Lampung, near Banda Aceh, worked Jan. 25 to find and bury the badly decayed bodies in a mass grave. Strong, constant ocean winds tempered the smell of death.
By mid-afternoon Jan. 25, the JRS team had already pitched several large tents for the return of the villagers. As the sun set, a young village boy helped a fishing boat captain string running lights for the night journey back to Banda Aceh.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency announces a plan to acquire some properties in Ulster County that have been severely damaged by flood waters from Hurricane Irene and the remnants of Lee. YNN's Alexandra Weishaupt has more the lengthy buyout program that is now making progress.
KERHONKSON, N.Y. -- "There is a lot of vacant homes here unfortunately," said Kerhonkson resident Wayne Depew.
It's been over a year since Wayne Depew's neighbors were forced out of their Carlo Street homes due to severe damage from Irene and Lee. And now FEMA could be stepping in to pick up the pieces.
"FEMA announced a program where they would allow for acquisitions of substantially damaged homes," said Ulster County Emergency Management Director Art Snyder.
The organization is going to buy up to 33 properties throughout the county and the homes in Depew's Kerhonkson development made the cut.
"There were actually some people that tried to stay and tried to rebuild, but of course, because of the money, they couldn't afford it," said Depew.
And now many are willing to sell. Snyder says about 60 perspective homeowners from towns of Wawarsing, Kingston, Olive, Shandaken and Ulster applied for the program back in February.
"We're still waiting on confirmation on which homes they have approved. We don't have that list yet," said Snyder.
If a property is acquired, a home has to be demolished and the property can never be built on again. The site with then be grated and seeded and will be maintained as open space under municipal ownership.
"This is great news for these residents that they can get on with their lives," said Town of Wawarsing Supervisor Scott Carlsen.
And for Depew, he's happy his former neighbors may finally receive some long awaited closure.
"For the people who are down here, it's going to be a welcomed thing for them because they were stuck," said Depew.
Snyder says the county's been notified of a grant recommendation to update their mitigation plan. He says when it was put together in 2007 only 12 of 24 municipalities participated. He's hoping more will join in this time around.

This is truly stunning. I love that it feels a little darker, more of an adult take on Disney. Wonderful. :)
