Demon Sacred © Itsuki Natsumi/Hakusensha [First serialized in LaLa]
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media
Before I get to blurbing and babbling—blurbling? (I pride myself on the inarticulation heights I can reach)—about the debuting manga with which I led this post, top DO WANT!
Suspicions of a spy in pediatric surgery forces Ayame into alienating everyone. Meanwhile, the grandson of Teio university dean Manaka ingratiates himself into the liver transplant team.
What other tricks does the enemy plan to pull this time? Is Manaka the foe fated to take down Saijo? Grab volume 7 of The Best Skilled Surgeon for the "Trust no one" answers.
Meanwhile, the stakes are as high, if not higher, for Junya in the penultimate (first runner-up DO WANT!)
Juvenile Remix vol 9 of 10
by Isaka Kotaro & Osuga Megumi
Even if only a "sea of red" awaits, Junya will not be swayed from visiting justice on those who involved his brother's friends. He discovers a new power and thus strengthened, heads for Nekota city where Fraulein plots Inukai's demise.
Seeing as we're nearly at the Juvenile Remix The End, you might want to remind Elex about the spin-off Waltz, now on its fifth volume in Japan.
New Elex manga
Aside from ex-LaLa Demon Sacred by Itsuki Natsumi, Elex releases a new Doraemon Movie manga, Nobita dan Kelahiran Jepang, based on the Nobita no Nihon Tanjō film that premiered in Japanese theaters in 1989, and later aired on Indonesian TV (Elex sez RCTI), as well as the one-volume The Way of Cat that—despite its josei Nekopanchi Comics provenance (like co-cat manga Waikiki Restaurant in Enoshima, Kome si Belang and A Tale of The Cat Painter)—first serialized in the seinen Gekkan Young King. Elex categorizes The Way of Cat as a Remaja Putri or shoujo read, though, proving without a doubt that we are NOT in Japan (anymore). At any rate, I preview the debuts after the release list (because I'm determined to go never-ending babble mode, ON! on the
Demons, Mysterious Illness, Bishounen, Possessive Lover Demon Sacred, from the manga-ka who conceived Rumaty-sama~! LiRen-sama~!, and need the blog real estate to do so.)
BTW, don't look for Divine Puzzle, Uchida Masahiro & Kimoto Shinji's Kamisama no Puzzle, here. That ex-Flex Comix Next manga—no relation to Sunrise's Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle anime nor its Newtype Ace manga adapt—has been postponed to...I dunno when.
Mangazines: Nakayoshi Gress! Issue 03/2012
Nature abhors a vacuum. Love & Warship by Nishi Keiko and The Gardening Boy by Morinaga Ai & Uozumi Naoko fill the vacancy left by recently-concluded Angel or Devil? by Moro Orie and A Gift For My Teacher by Yamada Daisy. Same drill. Scroll down for deets.

Demon Sacred vol 1 of 11
By Itsuki Natsumi
Rina and Mona were but babes in the womb when their mother came into contact with something unearthly posing as Mika Valaska, a pianist who already passed away. The alien contact infected Rina with the Return Syndrome, a disease that makes her physically regress — all the way back to infancy and then, nothingness. To save Rina, Mona must seek out another spirit—one stronger than Mika—and bind it to her.
beyond human means for help might not be such a hard thing to do when, as TOKYOPOP's Demon Sacred Volume 1 description points out,
the inhuman comes in such gorgeous packaging, it might be hard to resist! A
leading corporation researching a cure—the same company that seems suspiciously unwilling to share any knowledge it possesses about the sickness, even with its own workers seems par for the course, but a dragonslayer??
Intrigued? Now might be a good time to point you to ☞ baka-girl's Demon Sacred review, if you haven't already fallen in lurve with Itsuki Natsumi-sensei's Blooming Youth or Jyu Oh Sei and need moar persuasion :D.
The first four Demon Sacred Acts (chapters) are:
Wild Beast,
Training and
Demon Sacred spans 11 volumes, first released in Japan from August 2003 to September 2007. We're getting that version, not the six bunko reissues published in Japan between July and November 2010. I don't know whether to call that good news or not, in light of the upcoming April price hike. While I'm not sure how much "Deluxe" editions would be marked up, if the regular comics go up to IDR
20,000 17,500/volume, you're looking at, at least, an IDR 16,500 + 10 × IDR 20,000 17,500 outlay for the entire series.
Other Itsuki Natsumi manga
In addition to Demon Sacred, Hanasakeru Seishounen (that's Blooming Youth) and Jyu Oh Sei triple-launched by m&c! back in July 2008, Itsuki Natsumi also created the historical, martial arts, supernatural shoujo manga series, Yakumo Tatsu, which you might've run down as its Eight Clouds Rising anime adapt. (I know I did.) The HanaYume manga was collected in 19 tankoubon between October 1992 and November 2002, and subsequently reissued in 10 bunkoban from 2008.07 to 2009.03. I don't think it's been licensed here.
Other shoujo series, published by Hakusensha, include: Eccentric City (one volume, 1989.01); Oz (four tankou between 1990.03 and 1992.08 and five Hana to Yume Comics Special volumes from 2004.11 to 2005.03); Tokiiro Triangle (five volumes from 1985.08 to 1987.03; reissued in three bunko volumes in 1997.12) and its sequel Passion Parade (six tankoubon published between 1987.10 and 1989.09; reissued in three bunko volumes in 1998.06); Transylvania Apple (one volume: 1983.10; 2007.03 bunko reissue); Marccero Monogatari AKA Marccero Storia (eight tankoubon published between 1982.04 and 1985.09; reissued in four bunko volumes from 1999.12 to 2000.03 and in two aizoban in 1991.12 and 1992.01); and Otoko to Onna ni Sasageru Comedy (Hana to Yume Comics tankou: 1981.07).
Itsuki Natsumi-sensei finished the seinen Akatsuki no Musuko in Afternoon; Kodansha published the tankou compile in February 2000.
Current works include the HanaSei sequel, Hanasakeru Seishounen: Tokubetsuhen (two volumes published as of December 2011; ongoing serialization in Melody) and the seinen Vampir (five tankou per June 2010; ongoing serialization in Afternoon).
Doraemon Movie: Nobita dan Kelahiran Jepang
By Fujiko F. Fujio
Miffed at always being scolded at home, Nobita decides to run away. He's not the only one to have come up with this (not-so bright) idea; Giant, Suneo and Shizuka arrive at the same decision. With Doraemon's help, they traverse time and space, looking for a new place to start anew. They end up in...the Stone Age?!
You can hazard a guess as to what "terrors" await our intrepid time-travelers.
I don't think I need to belabor the fact that this animanga is based on the film of the same name. I do need someone to confirm that this IDR 48,000 compile originally released in two volumes in Japan back in the 1989 day.
The Way of Cat
By Iwaoka Hisae
If you live with cat[s], you can enjoy your life more.
At first, mom refuses to keep a cat for a pet, but the feline eventually wears down her stubborness, to the point where she even names the cat "Tights." And one day, Tights disappears!
Despite (or because of) the missing pet drama, Elex assures us that The Way of Cat is a
relaxing read. Baka-Updates Manga in its Nekomichi description concurs in its fashion: the antho apparently collects
sweet, realistic tales about the everyday lives of various cats and the people who come to associate them. Telor Ceplok reviewer Lina-chan recommends this volume to the tune 7 of 10 cat lurvin love.
Other Iwaoka Hisae manga
To borrow Inui Sadaharu's catchphrase, probability that The Way of Cat or Nekomichi is the first Iwaoka Hisae manga licensed for Indonesia: 99%. She's prolly more famous though for her Ikki-serialized manga, among them, Dosei Mansion AKA Saturn Apartments (seven volumes published between 2006.10 and 2011.08); Hana Bolo (2005.11); Shiroi Kumo (2004.11); and Permanent - Manga no Tsumeawase (2010.12). Another seinen title, Yume no Soko, was published by Ohzora Shuppan (2005.12), but her josei manga, Oto no Hako, first serialized in Kodansha's now-defunct BETH magazine (Kiss KCDX tankou: 2008.03).
Iwaoka Hisae-sensei's ongoing Hoshigahara Ao Manjuu no Mori josei manga serializes in Asahi Shinbunsha's Nemuki (two volumes published under the Sonorama Comics label between 2009.12 and 2011.07).

Arakure: The Wild Ones vol 4 of 10
By Fujiwara Kiyo
Class 3-F vows revenge on Igarashi, Sachie and Azuma's class in the upcoming sports festival, determined to collect payback on its loss (to Igarashi) the previous year. 3-F students woo Azuma to co-opt him in their plan to trap Igarashi. Will Azuma take them up on humiliating his lurve rival?
More importantly, Igarashi has a more formidable foe to face than Azuma — Kou, the son of the Osaka yakuza boss, who seems to have taken to Sachie, so much that his father invites Sachie to Osaka. Will Igarashi

Nakayoshi Gress! 03/2012 ♥ Love & Warship and The Gardening Boy debut
Watashi ni xx Shinasai!!
© Toyama Ema/Kodansha
Published in Indonesia
as XX Me! by Elex Media
Per above-mentioned, Love & Warship by Nishi Keiko and The Gardening Boy by Morinaga Ai & Uozumi Naoko premiere in the latest NakaGress, replacing Moro Orie's Angel or Devil? (Kamika Akumaka) and Yamada Daisy's A Gift For My Teacher (Senseini Ageru.). Albeit both are Nakayoshi serials, The Gardening Boy—originally Engei Shounen—has already been compiled into one volume (2011.04), but Love & Warship or Koi to Gunkan hasn't finished its Naka run (two volumes as of 6 March 2012).
The eponymous Gardening Boy (boys?) discovers that wilting plants revive if you water them after accidentally spilling mineral water on one such unfortunate. Which sends him investigating...and eventually joining the school's gardening club. Thus begins a
pure (but clumsy) gardening life.
The story, apparently a coming of age (for three gardening club members, at least) is based off the original story by Uozumi Naoko, whose Engei Shounen novel first released in Japan in August 2009, almost two years before Morinaga Ai's manga version.
✐Other Morinaga Ai manga
You prolly know The Gardening Boy's manga-ka from the ex-Betsufure manga Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club AKA My Heavenly Hockey Club published here by m&c! and the adapted into live-action comedies Boku to Kanojo no XXX and Yamada Tarou Monogatari. Morinaga Ai's latest/ongoing work is the
Debt, Idols, Talent Agency Kirara no Hoshi, serialized in Betsufure (five volumes compiled between 2010.07 and 2012.03.13).
Naka's preview of Nishi Keiko's Love & Warship—
even though she has transferred schools, Kana still hasn't made any friends—is a masterpiece of minimal (and doesn't even hint at the titular "Warship"), so let me borrow Aerandria's Koi to Gunkan synops:
Endou Kana is a cheerful schoolgirl who has a secret crush on... the mayor, Minato Kouichi, a perfect gentleman and well-liked leader of the post-war town. With the help of her friend Akira, she investigates him, until the trail leads her to an abandoned-looking house where a strange and scary foreigner lives. He and Kouichi seem to have some kind of relationship, but what is it? Kana's and Akira's take on that question are completely different and the's still a chance both of them are wrong!
Kana has a friend! And when did that Older Male/Younger Female trope sneak in? Is this even the same manga? Apparently so, as the
Endō-san no koi ni mirai wa aru no!? Japanese blurb combines elements found in the Indo Naka and Aerandria previews.
I'm still waiting for why "Warship" though...
✐Other Nishi Keiko manga
Outside of Koi to Gunkan, I only know of one—Stay Pretty First Love that Elex (unhelpfully) titled First Love back in March 2010—but her Baka-Updates Manga author page lists some 41 titles including the two I noted, plus the ongoing josei romance Ane no Kekkon that debuted in Shogakukan's Flowers in 2010 (two volumes compiled as of November 2011), the already concluded Anisan to Boku, first serialized in Melody and 3rd Manga Taishō nominee Otoko no Isshou, also first serialized in Flowers (three of three volumes as of March 2010).
Getting all friendly with Love & Warship and The Gardening Boy is Toyama Ema's XX Me! or Watashi ni xx Shinasai!!—bet you forgot about the other Nakayoshi pals for the length of the premiere overshare, didn't you?—the front cover of this issue. In Mission.28 ("Yukina's Reward") has Mami suspecting Yukina of modeling her Ensnare Shigure! scheme on Lilia's 'tactics' in Yupina's novel. More significant, however, than Mami's suspicions is Shigure telling Yukina:
Just for one hour...become mine. Kyaaaa~!
Meanwhile, just because Angel or Devil? is over and done with doesn't mean there's no more Moro Orie manga to be had. In Secret (chapter) 3:
Our Promise of What Makes Two of Us (Futari no Himitsu), Kiki, having body swapped with Igarashi Teppei, is still trying to deal with life as the best bud of crush Takumi. Not really a hardship except...will Takumi ever make move on Igarashi? (If he does, we're gonna get some atsui BL action going... :p)

I agree with the answer about letting them wear underwear. Yes there will be more laundry but with the price of diapers it is worth it. My oldest daughter is ten now but she had just turned two when I started with her. We had the toilet seat fit-in and I went out and bought about ten pairs of regular underwear, not the padded kind or training kind and she ran around in just pantys and a t-shirt. Every hour on the hour I would take her to the bathroom and of course give a commentary like a sports announcer to let her know everything that was going on. I always praised her no matter what if it was pee or poo. It only took 2 weeks and when she had that down I bought a plastic sheet cover and began night training right away. That only took 1 week. Yes my 2 year old was trained in 3 weeks tops. Now don't get me wrong, some kids may take a little longer but have faith, it will happen. Thats the best way is take diapers away cold turkey. If your toddler is scared take them with you to see.posted 02/08/2011 by cary_daniels09
Hey! I just recently went thru the same thing with my 2nhalf yr old! I couldnt get her use to the potty as well but i tried my own way that seemed to work for her and it might sound crazy but hey it worked :). the key is to make sure they are ready and know how to let you know that they have to go and be able to hold it until they are actually sitting already. When your in the house with her just leaver her in her underwear so she can feel loose and know that the diaper is not there, the first time she will not tell she has to go ofcourse so she'll probably go on herself but you make sure you let her know that that feels yucky and taker her to the potty and tell her pee pee goes in there. (yea your probably thinking Huh? haha but trust me) and it might even help if you bring her in the restroom with u when u go. Eventually she get the hang of it if you keep keeping a close eye on her when she is about to. Anyway hope it helps in any way if not, hey i tried my best hee hee. Good luck!!posted 12/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Here's what I did to train my son. I put a timer on for about every hour, then would sit him on the potty. A few accidents, but worth it. I did this for about 3-4 days, after that he didn't even need a timer anymore, he would go on his own. At the end of the week, he was fully potty train.posted 12/06/2010 by imShadz

AHAVA is a company that I stumbled upon about a month ago. I was attracted to it because its marketing campaign is dead sea products. What are dead sea products? Well, it uses minerals and water found at the very bottom of the ocean where marvelous life occurs. With fundamental research and nano technology, this company uses ingredients unlike any other company.
One of their products that I have used is their Light Foundation. With Dunaliella algea, Dead Sea Minerals and natural pigments, this foundation sets itself apart from others. The sound of the ingrediants might turn you off, but the combination actually feels great on the skin. This product provides sheer coverage and doesn't feel cakey on the skin. And as the weather is changing to a wetter and colder climate, this liquid foundation lasts all day. Shades range iin four colors from Terra Dark for dark toned skin to Dune Bright for the fair skinned.
A 30mL container costs $28 and is available on the AHAVA website and at Beauty First stores located in Beaverton, Hillsboro and Gresham. AHAVA is a great company that promotes the use of natural products and doesn't test on animals.

The holidays are coming up and you know it's going to be a crazy few days; you'll want to get all the good stuff on tape so that a) you can share all those fun moments with family and friends and b) in case you need documentation in the event legal action is necessary--we know you have a crazy Aunt Mildred, too.

In order to be entered into this amazing contest, comment on this post with a story detailing your most outlandish holiday experience (whatever holiday it may be--doesn't have to be Thanksgiving or Christmas--give us your funniest 4th of July or Festivas experience if you've got one).

Christmas with my husbands family takes FOR-EV-A every year. It takes so long to open present that we have to stop for food breaks! My husband is one of four and his 3 sisters all together have 6 kids so as you can imagine there are A LOT of gifts to be opened. A few years ago someone started "wwwwoooooo"ing after every present was opened and it has now become a holiday tradition that everyone "wwooooooo"s after every gift is open. I usually am laughing so hard that my cheeks are hurting by the end of everything!
They also have a christmas tradition that every year someone gets a life-sized black santa claus as their gift (I know, its not so politically correct). He has come wraped in a variety of things but the best wraping was a black trash bag! Well Happy "wwwwwwooooooo" Holidays to you all!
At our company's holdiday party there were tons of giveaway raffles but you could only win one prize for the holiday. I won a set of car rental coupons and I don't even have my drivers license.
Thanksgiving with my father and uncle has always been memorable. These two were former college roommates who are forever pullings gags on each other. None was better than the year my uncle tied the turkey carcass to the from of our family minivan and went unseen for over two days! My poor mother came to it's attention from an elderly women at church. "Ms.? Are you aware that the remains of a turkey are tied to the grill of your car?". It has since gone down as the best of all family pranks....Gobble Gobble!
Craziest holiday experience... Thanksgiving in July, celebrated with homesick American friends while living in South Africa (the seasons are backwards there). Better yet, we did it in a poorly-insulated house with a tiny oven and just 2 burners. But we had a blast!
Once, I was driving home to visit the fam for Xmas, and somehow ended up in the Willacoochee, GA Christmas parade. I proudly waved at the kids and threw pennies out the window (I didn't have candy!).
I made "Boston Market Potatoes" for Thanksgiving and they were so good that no one believed I didn't just buy them and put them in my own serving dish.... that is until my stepsister fished a strange black object from her serving of potatoes: my Oven Knob. It was all the proof they needed to know that they were homemade, and now I'm always asked to bring a dish without the "extras". :)
My boyfriend and I spent our first Christmas together in the Dominican! It was an awesome trip except that we both got food poisoning on our last night and spent the next day flying home sharing a barf bag. Soooooo romantic <3
One Christmas morning, after waking up, we found that a dog that our family was dogsitting had already opened up all of Santa's gifts, and knocked the Christmas tree completely over. We eventually cleaned it up, but my first thought as a 11 year old child was "Oh no! I must have been naughty this year!"

We eventually cleaned it up, but my first thought as a 11 year old child was "Oh no! I must have been naughty this year!"
When I was 3 years old, I apparently begged Santa for a robot... a real live robot for Christmas! Well, Santa listened. There was a small (maybe 1 foot high) robot under the tree. This was in the 1970s, so the robot didn't do much more than walk and make noise. My parents excitedly sat me down on the kitchen floor and placed the robot about 8 feet from me. My mom turned it on, and as it started to walk towards me, I started screaming and shrieking in fear. Santa had to take it back. I've had a bizarre fear of robots ever since. It will probably serve me well when Skynet finally comes online.
Last Christmas a few weeks before the holiday my husband and I found a poor sick cat behind our apartment and adopted her. I don't think she had ever done Christmas before but she sure loved the tree. She slept under it until we took it down she was so adorable snuggled between the presents. She was my best present that year.
It was the first year I decided to host a "big" Thanksgiving in our new house. As usual, I used the opportunity to channel my inner Martha, and had been planning the meal for weeks. From pre-ordering the organic turkey from a local farm, to advance testing each recipe on the rotation. Long story short - the meal was great. But, what stole everyone's heart was the commentary of my two kids the next day at breakfast. My parent's brought over coffee and munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. While the adults were scurrying around, the camera was left on the table recording their conversation with each other. As they picked sprinkles off the munchins, one said to the other..."I'm thankful for you!" The other replied, "You're thankful for ME???" The video tells it best. Make sure to check out Grandma's face when she realizes what's happening.
4th of July in England on study abroad. Best time with friends, karaoke in a tiny pub and celebrating America!
I've been known as the "Gladstone" of my family as far back as I can remember. At least on one particular holiday afternoon, the nickname seemed to fit. I was about seven and decorating the Chrismtas tree when the phone rang. After a minute or two of listening to my dad demand to know why the middle-aged man on the other end of the line was asking to speak to his seven year old daughter, he was able to gather that I had won a drawing at a crafts store and would receive $100 worth of art supplies in a stocking that was larger than I was at the time. The best part was that neither me nor more parents had entered my name in the drawing - it was an aunt who figured I was the only person she knew that was lucky enough to actually win.
We were hosting our first Thanksgiving and we were very excited. Did the shopping and cleaning and setting up and prepping most of the food. Came time to make the stuffing the night before and realized we had forgotten to take the turkey out of the freezer! We spent most of the night thawing that bird in a cooler filled with water and changing the water every hour or so. Tired...very tired the next day.
One of my favorite Christmas memories is late Christmas in January with my best friends in college. Nobody except me had the chance to properly search for presents before semester break, so we ended up celebrating Christmas twice: once a few days before the 25th and the second time almost a month later! It's such a lovely memory.
I am the youngest child of three in my family. Being the youngest involved constant harassment and teazing from my older brother and sister. During Halloween, my sister and mother's favorite holiday, we would go all out. We would make graves in the lawn, string lights everywhere, create ghosts in the trees, and even throw a few haunted house events for the neighborhood. I was probably about nine or ten when my brother and sister made me deathly afraid of clowns and witches do to making me watch both Hocus Pocus and IT. That Halloween my mother bought a severed witch head made of foam that freaked me OUT! My brother and sister would throw that thing at me as I fell asleep, when I got home from school, and anytime or anywhere that did not even remotely related to Halloween. To this day they have that damn thing and it gives me the jumps. I guess that is what family is for right? To make sure, at any given moment, you can still turn into a shrieking baby at the site of a foam witch head.
You know, I'm not even sure if this is a holiday story. In my mind it is because it involves a turkey, so it was probably around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I seven or eight, and I was home with my brother; my parents were at work. My mom called to tell me she put a frozen turkey in a pot and left it in the sink so it could defrost. I had to check it and make sure it was completely defrosted.
That much I understood. You see, English isn't my family's first language, so I understood my parents 99% of the time on the phone and 100% when I was with them.
I must have been having an off-day because, apparently, I misheard my mother on the phone.
"Make sure you rub the turkey in soap," she said.
"In soap?" I asked.
"Yes, soap," she assured me.
"肥皂?!" I asked. (That's Chinese for "soap.")
"YES," she said, annoyed that I kept asking.
So, she hung up, and I took the turkey and the dishwashing soap and rubbed the soap all over the turkey. My brother asked me what the hell I was doing. I said I was just doing what mom told me to do. He shrugged and went back to his video game. I rinsed the turkey and felt confident that my mom would think I did a good job cleaning it.
When my parents came home, my mom asked to see the turkey.
Then she asked why the skin was so slimy.
"Mom, you told me to rub soap on the turkey," I said.
"No! I said SALT. SALT on the turkey!"
My dad chimed in and said at least the turkey would be extra clean when we ate it.
My mom threw it out. To this day, I refuse to take directions for food from my mom over the phone, in case she means salt when I hear 'soap.'
I thought it was time to open presents one Christmas when my parents woke me up early, but it turned out they were bringing us to the storm cellar because of a severely tornadic system that lasted for hours(Dixie Alley). My siblings and I kept ourselves entertained by drawing pictures of tornadoes with garland and ornaments on them.
The rest of the holiday went normally for us: the cats knocked the tree over and put paw prints in all the pumpkin pies. Gotta love cats!
During a particularly hectic holiday season, my aunt's patience had worn thin and her Christmas decorations seemed to be rebelling against her. The last straw came in the form of a lawn decoration made out of white lights and shaped like a deer. It refused to stand up against the Midwestern gusts. Finally, my aunt snapped. She proceeded to curse and kick the deer across her yard until its head flew off.
My mother's birthday falls on Christmas day, so we are always looking for ways to make the day extra special for her. One year when my sister was home from college, she decided to make my Mom a very special surprise birthday cake. We had recently got a new puppy while my sister was at school so she wasn't used to having it around. My sister decided to hide the cake on the floor of her closet. Sure enough, we woke to a Christmas morning surprise of a half eaten cake, with a trail of crumbs and frosting all the way to the puppy's bed. I'm not sure my sister has ever forgiven the dog...
About 4 years ago we had a major ice storm at Christmas, which was very bad locally, but not that widespread. Only one of our friends had power, and she was away visiting family, and gave permission to use her home. After sitting around for a couple of days, we decided we might as well go to my sister-in-law's as we'd planned, so we drained the water lines and put anti-freeze in the traps and left on Christmas Eve. Hubby's family does most of their holiday on the Eve, so we'd already missed a bunch of it, and while Christmas Eve dinner is a big deal, we'd missed that too. So here we are on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, at a rest stop, eating dinner, along with an Indian family and a black family in the dining room...
My mother didn't stuff turkeys but my husband's mother always did, so I learned how. My mother always thought I was going to poison everyone. One year, I had the turkey defrosting on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving in the laundry room, which was very cold. My mother was visiting, and kept going in and poking at the turkey. Never mind that I assured her it was always still frozen inside when I went to roast it, she kept doing this all evening. Hubby and I went to bed and she was still up. Next morning, he sat bolt upright in bed and said "Where's the cat?" - the large 9-pounder that usually slept with us, but could be with my mother. You guessed it - Mom had shut her in the laundry and she'd shredded the turkey, through the plastic. The pumpkin pie next to it was entirely untouched, not even a hair on it. My mother, who thought I'd poison everyone said - "Can't you just cut that part off?" NOT! We had pot roast that year, since I could defrost that in time, and after sending hubby on something of a wild goose chase looking for horseradish.
4th of July in the middle of the Atlantic on a British ship. W00t w00t!
The rules say ONE entry per person: "You may enter one (1) time per during the Promotion Period." I don't care if you think I'm crazy for posting 10+ times, but I want to make sure this is a fair contest.. Are we truly unlimited in posts, or does everyone only get one entry?
Memorial Day 2011, my friends and I decided to go up the mountain in our home town. As we approached the top, we realized it was closed. But instead of going down, we decided to play a trick on our friends who were following us (they were pretty far behind). So we parked the car in a dark corner and hid. I had a bottle of chamoy, a mexican liquid-y candy, in the car and we used that as a prop. My friend lied in the middle of the road and we poured the chamoy all over the ground around her mouth. We saw headlights coming around the corner but soon we saw that it wasn't our friends. It was a dark truck and when they pulled up to the "body", they must have freaked out because they jerked their car into reverse and took off. Best night ever!
Thanksgiving in Oklahoma, on my uncle's dairy farm. Feeding the baby cows, riding tractors, and shooting skeet are definitely things i don't get to do in brooklyn!
Christmas 1998 - My dad took us to his family farm in Kansas. We went out to eat on Christmas eve, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to order eggs for dinner. My stomach didn't like the idea and I was sick all Christmas day!
Thanksgiving 3 years ago, I spent with my Mom and my Mom's family. We always get really in to cooking and trying new recipes, so that year I decided to make a new mulled cider recipe. Delicious mulled cider with oranges, spiced rum, yum! Well, I apparently sampled WAY too much of it throughout the day, on top of a few glasses of wine at dinner, because after dinner, I went to relax in the living room, and "fell asleep." I didn't wake up until everyone had left and my Mom was doing dishes. Whoops.
On year my grandparents gave us the most memorable Christmas present ever....the Norwalk virus. We were very thankful that there were enough bathrooms for all of us.
Last year I spent my first Christmas away from my family to be with my Boyfriend and his family in Philadelphia. I was so bummed to miss out on Christmas with my parents but I was excited to start my own tradition.
We got there around 3pm on Christmas Eve and his parents, two brothers, aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. were there. I had already met most of them but did my rounds to meet everyone, including the girlfriend of my boyfriend's brother. She was a nice girl, great job, working towards a masters degree in accounting. The night went well, around 11PM everyone went to bed. The next day, we woke up to a SCREAMING argument downstairs... My boyfriend's brother had apparently forgotten to "uninvite" his other girlfriend to spend Christmas... so she showed up to find her boyfriend with another woman on Christmas. The claws came out, hair was pulled, and I could not have been more entertained. To me, this was the best christmas ever. To everyone else....not so much.

My second year of graduate school (all the way across the country from my family), I decided I just couldn't handle another Thanksgiving tagging along with someone else (like I had the previous year). I've always been very into tradition, and I really missed my family's Thanksgiving. So, I found a cheap last minute airline ticket (this was pre-9/11, when such things existed). I got a town car to take me to the airport - which picked me up in practically the middle of the night, and after 2 flights, I made it to Ohio just in time for dinner. My sister made some excuse for an errand she had to run before dinner and picked me up at the airport. I then sneaked into Thanksgiving dinner and gave my mom the surprise of her life. I got way behind on my reading and writing for classes, but it was totally worth it!
Every Thanksgiving my family and I usually have plans to meet in a central location, but for some reason we had no plans last year. It was Tuesday night, the week of Thanksgiving and my brother and I realized, "oh snap, we have no plans, let's do something..." We grabbed one my friends, rented a car, drove overnight from NYC to Miami, and booked a cruise to The Bahamas. Most impromptu, amazing thing we've ever done!
My sister-in-law is a present wrapping enthusiast. During her first Christmas with the in-laws, she spent hours meticulously wrapping each package and placed it below the tree before dinner. When everyone returned to exchange gifts, we found a massacre. My cat apparently has a bow fetish and had consumed and/or shredded every piece of ribbon in sight.
It was July and my dad's birthday. 89 degrees Hot & Humid. So, to get a head start on things at my parent's home. I decided to make some ice tea to have along with other beverages that we had. So in my mom's kitchen she would keep a couple of gallons of spring water on the counter for making ice tea and then put in the fridge to chill. Later on as the party was getting started some of the more non-soda people had chosen the ice tea. There we were, all sitting around and discussing the events and the latest news, sipping the ice tea, and I started notice how they were looking at their glasses after sipping and looking and sipping. Each other now noticing the other doing the same. Someone commented how tart the ice tea tasted, swirling the glass of ice tea around and sipping. Asking, Gee, Irene. What kind of tea mix is this, it's really tart. My mother looked at me, and I looked back as if saying "what"? Got up to get myself a glass took a sip....my throat went dry. Before I could turn around my mother was standing there and ask me if I had used the water by the sink? I responded, ya. It looked like it had started to be used and I wanted to use the rest before opening a new bottle. Next thing I heard her gasp. Oh! no! I had saved an empty bottle and filled it with my plant food {fish emulsion}, so I could feed my plants, and you used it to make the ice tea. Well, I thought I was going to burst. I just couldn't beleive what I had done and how everyone was still drinking it. You couldn't imagine the responxe I got when I told everone. And my father was one of them, a birthday he would never forget. Happy Birthday, Dad.
It was my first Christmas with my fiance and I was with his parents and family for their big Christmas Eve celebration. My fiance proceeded to get massively drunk and went on to insult his 7 year old nephew and other family members. It was very awkward trying to cover for my inebriated fiance.
This happened when I was 10; I bought my mom a Christmas gift, and since I was clueless on what to buy, I went to the mall and asked the shopkeeper to help me out. Somehow she convinced me that white tights with rhinestones would make a good gift for my mom. Needless to say (and understandably), my mom didn't like the gift and said that next time she prefers a homemade gift instead, so that became a tradition with us :).
This is not outlandish in the traditional sense, but there was one year when I 'lost' Christmas. I got on the plane on the 24th and flew more than halfway across the world, across more than 12 time zones, and due to 20 hour flight and the huge time difference between my departure and arrival city, when I arrived at my destination it was the 26th! It was Christmas at some point while I was up in the air, but due to the crossing of so many timezones I didn't know when Christmas actually came and went.
A 4th of July tradition among my family is traveling hours to watch the firework show in the small town where my grandparents live. It's not a particularly large show, but it's by far the most exciting that I've ever attended. Without fail, fireworks will be launched into trees, hop across the field toward the crowd, and rain debris upon onlookers. There's nothing quite as beautiful as fearing for your life on an annual basis.
Ohio University Halloween. 'nuff said. :)
My sister-in-law hosted her first Thanksgiving two years ago. Unfortunately, her aunt (who was helping her in the kitchen) knew nothing about cooking. She continuously assured my lovely sister that "You cannot dry out a turkey, so just keep it going." The turkey was kept overcooking for hours. When we finally cut into it, it was reminiscent of the turkey from National Lampoon's Christmas.
My dad is a terrible gift-receiver. He shakes every box under the tree weeks in advance and almost always gets it right. One year, my uncle finally had him stumped with a gift from his trip in Guatemala. While everyone else was eating a Christmas Eve feast, I walked into my living room to find my dad carefully tearing open a corner of the unidentified present. Being the smart 5 year old that I was, I took his $5 bribe for silence and then immediately returned to the kitchen to tattle on him.
It was Thanksgiving and we were reminiscing over people in our past and remembering our cousin fondly. My daughter's boyfriend said, "He sounds so nice, it's a shame I didn't get to meet him". My mom said, "oh but you can" and she reached into the china cabinet and pulled out a butter dish with some of his "remains" left in it. The whole family was stunned but my daughter seemed the most embarrassed of all of us. Way to make an impression mom!
One year, my entire family drove 1.5 days to Texas to share Thanksgiving at my aunt and uncle's house. It being my sister-in-law's first real "family vacation," my brother and I had to repeatedly explain that family vacations aren't exactly supposed to be "fun" in the typical sense of the word. But by the end, I think she got it: My uncle is retentive about his cooking. When his pie stuck in the pan, all it took was a sarcastic, "Well, Thanksgiving is ruined" from my sister to push him over the edge and send the rest of us into hysteric laughter.
My aunt makes the most delicious "nut-goody" bars every holiday. They're so good that my grandparents will actually wait until the younger kids are playing and then sneak them out so they don't have to share. One year, I got creative and hid a few in the back of their freezer for later. I was just about to retrieve them when my grandma explained that she had unexpectedly found some that she didn't remember saving and shared them with my grandpa. After owning up to my sneaking in front of the family, I was surprised that everyone was more outraged at my grandma - if you found secret dessert, why would you share?!
One Christmas morning, my brother woke up early to find my mother in the kitchen satiating a chocolate fix. The scene looked a little horrific as she was using a cleaver to lob off head of a solid chocolate Santa.
My grandmother has collected the Dayton's Santa Bears all my life. As a child, you learned early on that those were stuffed animals you didn't dare touch. I had no idea how passionate people really were over teddy bears, until I waited in line to buy them with her one Black Friday. After hours of waiting, I watched grown men get into a minor but physical fight all in the name of Santa Bear.
Every Easter, my family shares a traditional Polish poppyseed cake. When I was about 7, I went with my mother to purchase it from the bakery. She was looking at some other treats and asked me to hold her place in line. I stood there faithfully, until a few 80 year old women shoved and elbowed me out of their way. My mom returned immediately. Since then, I've put my game face on whenever I've entered a bakery around the holidays.
One year, my family failed to coordinate their gift giving - everyone bought me clothing. Although this would no longer be a problem, the total lack of two was devastating to my 4 year old self. My aunts and uncles scolded one another as I tried to hide the sniffles and feigned excitement over each Christmas present.
My daughter (3 last Christmas, 4 this year), is the first grandchild, and has invigorated our Christmas gift-opening. Who gets as excited about Christmas as a child? She loved passing out the gifts to everyone, and that excitement is infectious (even when the presents are practical sweaters, another pair of gloves, a gift card, or the electronic device that's been planned for weeks and that everyone has pitched in to get). Afterward, she carried her new presents around the house singing to herself, so happy.

My husband upgraded his shaver. His response? Should have done it years ago. Perfectly good razor nonetheless. I donated it. But as I write this I'm wondering if that was a rather grungy thing to do?

I have to mention a positive customer service experience that I had recently with American Express. While there may be exceptions, from my experience, Amex does an excellent job of helping out their customers when they run into problems with purchases. You may remember my earlier post where I discussed a payment that had showed up placed on my spouse's card statement. He had to book a flight for work and two tickets somehow posted to the account. After calling American Express, my spouse was told that the charge would be investigated and that we would be notified of the results.
A few days later, we received a letter from American Express stating that the matter was indeed being investigated. The charge was also immediately suspended from the account. About a week or so later, we received another letter stating that the issue had been resolved and that we would not be charged for the extra ticket purchase.
This story just goes to show the importance of using a credit card rather than a debit card when making purchases. If we'd used a debit card, the charge wouldn't have been reversed and we probably wouldn't have gotten reimbursed for the extra plane ticket. With a credit card, on the other hand, we were well protected.
Now, I understand that card issuers are supposed to work with their cardholders when it comes to resolving disputes. In this way, American Express didn't necessarily do anything out of the ordinary. I do, however, feel as if they handled the situation in a very professional manner and that they kept us well informed throughout the process. In addition, they truly gave us the feeling that they were working on our behalf and would do whatever it took to get the situation resolved in our favor. It's that kind of service that has long set American Express apart from other credit card companies.
I do have credit cards from other banks but the American Express card is high on my list and undoubtedly it's because of the positive experiences that I've had with their customer service department. Other credit card issuers could learn a lot from American Express.

|Accepted Version
View at publisher
Urinary acidification is a complex process requiring the coordinated action of enzymes and transport proteins and resulting in the removal of acid and the regeneration of bicarbonate. Proton secretion is mediated by luminal H(+)-ATPases and requires the parallel movement of NH(3), and its protonation to NH(4)(+), to provide sufficient buffering. It has been long assumed that ammonia secretion is a passive process occurring by means of simple diffusion driven by the urinary trapping of ammonium. However, new data indicate that mammalian cells possess specific membrane proteins from the family of rhesus proteins involved in ammonia/μm permeability. Rhesus proteins were first identified in yeast and later also in plants, algae, and mammals. In rodents, RhBG and RhCG are expressed in the collecting duct, whereas in humans only RhCG was detected. Their expression increases with maturation of the kidney and accelerates after birth in parallel with other acid-base transport proteins. Deletion of RhBG in mice had no effect on renal ammonium excretion, whereas RhCG deficiency reduces renal ammonium secretion strongly, causes metabolic acidosis in acid-challenged mice, and impairs restoration of normal acid-base status. Microperfusion experiments or functional reconstitution in liposomes demonstrates that ammonia is the most likely substrate of RhCG. Similarly, crystal structures of human RhCG and the homologous bacterial AmtB protein suggest that these proteins may form gas channels.Kidney International advance online publication, 6 October 2010; doi:10.1038/ki.2010.386.

Emerald Bay control and management: stressors and mechanisms controlling Asian clam populations in Emerald Bay
Proposal [pdf]
Lead Researchers:
Allison Gamble, John Reuter, and Geoff Schladow, University of California-Davis
The Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) is an invasive aquatic species that was first reported in Lake Tahoe (CA-NV) in 2002. Since then, population densities have been measured up to 8000 m-2. In Lake Tahoe, C. fluminea are negatively impacting native species, aesthetic values of the nearshore, and are associated with accelerated growth of filamentous algal species (Cladophora glomerata, Zygnema sp.) and bacteria. The satellite Asian clam population in Emerald Bay is the focus of considerable management resources, as the population is localized enough that it has the potential to be treated/controlled in its entirety. SCUBA surveys have shown that the Asian clam population in Emerald Bay has likely increased in extent from ~3.5 acres in 2009 to ~5.5 acres in 2011. Tahoe basin agencies intend to conduct a large-scale deployment of bottom barriers in the Emerald Bay in the summer of 2012. Pilot studies there by University of California-Davis (UCD) and University of Nevada-Reno (UNR) have shown that there are mechanisms that could alter the time course of treatment effectiveness at that location relative to previous successful treatments in the main lake. Dissolved oxygen (DO) levels underneath a test barrier declined but did not reach zero. The mechanisms accounting for that observation are currently being investigated and will be addressed in the large-scale deployment. The primary goals of the proposed research are to provide science-based monitoring of the large-scale benthic barrier installation to control Asian clams in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, and to provide information to lake managers that will allow them to take an adaptive approach during the deployment. The proposed research will 1) assess whether the large-scale deployment of bottom barriers in Emerald Bay will depress or eliminate Asian clam populations, 2) describe how DO and food supply drive the survival, depression or elimination of the Emerald Bay clam population under the barrier treatments and 3) determine whether augmenting bottom barriers with organic carbon can further facilitate, depress, or eliminate the Emerald Bay clam population. Taken together, these data will help answer the key question of how to optimize the effectiveness of bottom barriers to treat the invasive Asian clam in Emerald Bay.
Relation to Other Research Including SNPLMA Science Projects
In 2008, members of the Lake Tahoe Aquatic Invasive Species Working Group (LTAISWG) and UCD-UNR science team began to develop a strategy to control the existing Asian clam beds in Lake Tahoe. In 2009, field and laboratory research were successfully carried out with results that inform both scientists and lake managers on the extent of the Asian clam invasion as well as the demonstration of a nonchemical approach for the treatment of the clam populations. This research has continued into 2010-2011, including field testing of various control alternatives including suction removal, small-scale applications of rubber bottom barriers under cold and warm-water conditions (Marla Bay), a large-scale (one acre) deployment of bottom barriers at Marla Bay/Lakeside, and most recently, an Emerald Bay pilot study using benthic barriers. Since the Asian clam population in Emerald Bay is still currently confined to the area of the sandy sill, the potential exists to manage or extirpate this population. Dedicated funding exists for a large-scale deployment of bottom barriers (3-5 acres) in Emerald Bay. The agencies and the Asian Clam Working Group have planned for a June-July 2012 deployment. The primary goal of the Round 12 research is to monitor the large-scale benthic barrier deployment in Emerald Bay, and to provide quantitative information to improve the effectiveness of the barriers at controlling Asian clams. This study will also complement the Round 10 SNPLMA-funded projects, "Potential for pathogen growth, fecal indicator growth and phosphorus release under clam removal barriers in the Lake Tahoe Basin," and "Natural and human limitations to Asian clam distribution and recolonization—factors that impact the management and control in Lake Tahoe."

Army Baseball NCAA Tournament Central
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Stephen Bruno was 3-for-5 with three runs batted in, and Branden Cogswell went 1-for-2 with four RBI to help lead top-seeded Virginia past fourth-seeded Army, 9-1, an NCAA Charlottesville Regional game Saturday afternoon at Davenport Field.
Brandon Downes turned in a 3-for-4 performance with two runs scored for the host Cavaliers, who improve to 39-17-1 on the season.
Zach Price, Mark McCants and Alex Jensen led Army (41-14) offensively, posting two hits apiece. Price scored the Black Knights' lone run when he doubled leading off the sixth inning and scored on Kevin McKague's RBI groundout.
Virginia, which outhit Army 8-7 in the contest, used a trio of three-run innings to post the victory. Cogswell's three-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning broke open a two-run game and provided the host Cavaliers with a 6-1 advantage. Bruno's RBI double during Virginia's three-run eighth inning rounded out the scoring.
Branden Kline (7-3) scattered six hits and allowed just one run over 5.2 innings to pick up the victory for UVa. He struck out five and walked one. Kyle Crockett and Austin Young limited Army to only one hit over the final 3.1 innings to nail down the win.
Army starter Chris Rowley (11-1) suffered his first loss of the season after yielding six runs on five hits over six innings. He walked five batters and hit four in the contest.
Manny Fernandez pitched a scoreless seventh inning, before Virginia touched Andrew Flaherty for three runs (one earned) in the eighth.
Army appeared poised to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, but Matthew Carter was thrown out at home plate trying to score on Jensen's double. Carter reached on an error with two outs and motored all the way around from first when Jensen hooked a two-base hit into the left field corner. Virginia executed the relay throw perfectly, though, to nail Carter at the dish.
After stranding runners on second and third in the bottom of the first inning, Virginia struck for three runs in the second to assume a 3-0 lead. The Cavaliers, who did all of the damage with two outs, took advantage of two walks and two hit batsmen to push across their three runs. Cogswell drove home the first run of the frame when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Then, with the bases still loaded, Bruno delivered a two-run single up the middle to make it 3-0.
Army trimmed the Virginia advantage to 3-1 in the top of the sixth inning on McKague's RBI groundout. Price doubled leading off the frame, moved to third base on a wild pitch and scored when McKague grounded out to the pitcher. McCants followed with a base hit and J.T. Watkins walked to chase Kline from the game. Crockett was able to strike out Harold Earls looking, however, to end the Army threat and avoid further damage.
Virginia extended its lead to 6-1 in the bottom half of the sixth when Cogswell hammered a three-run double into the gap in right center field. The Cavaliers loaded the bases and, with two outs, Cogswell jumped on the second pitch he saw and drove it over the head of Army right fielder Cody Murtle.
The Cavaliers tacked on three insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to provide the final margin. Bruno's run-scoring double capped the rally, which was aided by an Army throwing error.
Army will continue play at the Charlottesville Regional on Sunday, June 3, when the Black Knights face second-seeded Oklahoma in an elimination game at 11 a.m.

Housing starts were significantly higher than expected in May, with condominiums leading the charge, a development that's likely to renew fears of overbuilding in Canada's key condo markets.
The total number of homes on which construction began last month came in at 200,178, while economists had been expecting the figure to be closer to 175,000. The strong showing suggests that builders and developers are bouncing back unfazed by the recent slump in home sales.
The number of urban starts rose by 14.6 percent, led by a 22.2 percent increase in homes with multiple units (i.e. condos), compared to a 3-percent increase in starts of single houses, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce economist Emanuella Enenajor noted that condo starts can be quite volatile on a month-to-month basis.
"May's increase in homebuilding suggests overall housing construction continues to garner support from condominium-related building, although the overall levels are still off from the highs seen in mid-2012 when the market was more frothy," she wrote in a research note.
"Today's data could mean that homebuilding activity in Q2 could be less of a drag than seen in the prior quarter, although we continue to see this sector struggling on weak secondary market activity, the fading impact of low rates and buyer fatigue."
Economists at Bank of Nova Scotia noted that the gain was focused almost entirely in Ontario.
"To what extent can the home-building boom in multi-family units in Ontario's cities continue?" they wrote in a research note. "Despite slow sales in Ontario in general and weak new home sales in Toronto in particular so far this year, the building boom seems to have picked up at least somewhat in May after a colder-than-usual March/April period."
Minutes before the data was released, Scotiabank economists said in a research note that they saw "downside risk to the consensus call for a 175k housing starts print in May," because soft new homes sales in the key Toronto market would likely send a cautious signal to developers.
Other data released earlier this month showed that the value of building permits issued in April jumped 10.5 percent on the back of a 51.9-percent surge in multi-unit residential permits. That could imply even more condo construction down the road, since there is a lengthy lag between when permits are acquired and when construction begins.
In Halifax last week federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said he continues to keep a close eye on the housing market, especially condos, but added that he believes that actions the government has taken to cool the market have helped.

Terri Movie Reviews
User reviews on Terri
I really enjoyed watching this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. At first it seems very familiar because the story is about an overweight teenager Terri, who is an outcast everywhere and all the time. However, the filmmakers do not let Terri be a total looser, he finally finds friends and realizes that he is not the only one that feels different. I know that there are many films like that out there, but Terri feels different somehow, I think it is because the filmmakers really care about the character, therefore the audience care about him as well. Jacob Wysocki does a beautiful job as Terri, he makes the character likable and relatable. The film feels very strange and beautiful in the same time. Overall, I suggest seeing this film for yourself, I bet you will really like it.
This is a comedy directed by Azazel Jacobs and starring John C. Reilly, Jacob Wysocki and Bridger Zadina. I loved this film and i am highly recommending to see it in the theaters. I really like that the director did not make Terri a victim, which he could have easily done. Terri is not pitied or ridiculed and I really admired that. The film is sweet, sad and hopeful in the same time. The actors are really strong and do a great job with their roles. I especially liked Jacob Wysocki who did an amazing job with his role. Overall, i urge you to see this film.

well well what can i say. I had 3 travelers recommend this place, there stay stretching back as much as 5-7 years ago. This place is about 20yrs old, it has some serious history in there and you can see that when you visit the font desk/bar. The staff is pretty hipster and they are as helpful as they can be. you really get every kind of traveler in here. old people, young people, crazy people, dusty backpackers, quiet German kids, and the mix of aussie/brits looking to get crunk at the bar.

this was beyond horrible. I was in a private room and I left at 430 AM to pay for a hotel because I had not been able to fall sleep: guests in the courtyard were screaming and blaring music louder than any club ive ever been to until this time. Also my window wouldn't close so I was FREEZING in addition to being kept up all night. I called the front desk to complain at 1145 and I was told the noise would die down soon as the bar closed at midnight. It didn't. totally wasted money.

in my opinion a great hostel. Nice outside common area where you easily meet people. Lively at night but nice and calm after 12. Beds could be improved, some are a bit saggy. Otherwise a good balanced hostel. Especially for a solo traveler

This is a party hostel on the party street of Capetown. Expect loud music until early in the morning. Cost of wi fi is 20 rand per day and connection speed is average. Cash only for payment but an ATM on site. Staff did a good job keeping the well worn place clean, a big task after frequent parties. Mr. Bubbles, the hostel cat, kept things chill. Good music mix by the reception desk.

This is a vibrant and busy place where you can meet new people and party all night. This is a party hostel situated in the heart of Long street. As a South African I had to check in with my passport. I reserved a private room but the room was located in a dorm so I had to go into the dorm to get to my room, so ultimately some of the privacy was lost. The hostel had not updated their prices on hostelworld so I was charged more at check. This was not for me and I checked out the next day.

Molly is everywhere. Concerts. Festivals. High school parties. Pretty much anywhere teens and young adults gather.
And she's preying on the novice drug user ⎯ somebody inexperienced in the world of drugs.
"Molly," short for molecule, is the powder or crystal form of MDMA, the chemical used in Ecstasy.
Molly is considered to be pure MDMA, unlike Ecstasy, which is usually laced with other ingredients like caffeine or methamphetamine.
Unfortunately for the user, this is a misconception.
"The buzz about Molly is the result of widespread misconceptions about what the drug really is," said Dr. David Sack, an expert in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine.
Between 5 to 7 percent of high school students have admitted to using what they thought was the recreational drug known as "Molly," according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.
"Molly is whatever the seller wants it to be," said Special Agent Joseph Moses. "In one region, only 13 percent of the samples submitted to the lab that were supposedly MDMA contained any."
The chemicals found in Molly mimic the effects of MDMA ⎯ most of which are central nervous system stimulants that cause euphoric highs. They have also been associated with rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, blood vessel constriction, confusion, paranoia, chills, nausea, faintness, and severe sweating ⎯ which can hinder the body's ability to regulate temperature.
According to WebMD, Molly is being marketed to young first-time drug abusers between the ages of 12 and 17, as well as traditional rave and electronic dance music fans who think they're getting a pure form of MDMA.
"Our kids are being used as guinea pigs by drug traffickers," said Al Santos, associate deputy administrator for the DEA.
What makes Molly so dangerous is the toxic combination of unknown chemicals. Unlike MDMA, the formula for Molly continues to change, leaving the buyer with no knowledge of what they're taking or at what dose.
"You're playing Russian roulette if you take these compounds because we're seeing significant batch-to-batch variances," said Santos.
The DEA reports that the synthetic drug market is a multibillion-dollar business that continues to explode in the United States. Congress passed the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act in July 2012, which controlled 26 compounds by name.
Unfortunately for officials, every time the government deems a compound illegal, chemists find a way to alter the formula, to create a substance that is no longer classified as controlled.
The best thing you can do for your kids is to educate them on the drug, in hopes they won't one-day fall victim to Molly's fatal effects.
Knowledge is power.
