Historical Traveler Reviews The Mercury South Beach Miami Beach
Perfect for Work and Play
Perfect for work and play. I go down to Miami all the time for work and love to stay for the weekend when I can. The Mercury was the perfect place to do this. The hotel is far enough from the center of SOBE so you can have a quiet weeknight and close enough so you can walk a few blocks and go crazy on the weekend. Rooms are nice and comfortable and staff is great. The restaurants downstairs were a very convenient place to meet with clients and have good food. The beach is a block away and there is a pool downstairs in case you prefer that.
No Sleep Here, Bring Earplugs & Don't Expect Service
Horrible experience! Had to valet park car, cost $18/day, the valet wasn't there to give you your car back in the am. They charge $8/day for resort amenities & $2/day for in room safe in addn to room rate... The resort is SO LOUD from 10pm to 4am, I could not sleep. It was like music was blaring in the room. I asked for a phone book, and they had none in the entire hotel. I needed a 24 hour pharmacy, they didn't know, said they'd call back, never did. They took my towels when they cleaned the room, never returned any. I asked in the am, again in the pm, 3 times I had to call to get towels and it took 8 hours! Lousy service, greasy elevator, awful noise. Would not recomment at any price unless you're a young person looking to party all night.
Nice, but not 4 star and needs some attention to detail
The room was generally very nice, but there are some things you should be aware of - it should be a 3 star, not 4. I would not have been happy if I had paid full price, but for a priceline deal, it was good. It is a bit of a walk to the main area of hotels and restaurants (between 1st and 2nd, where the action starts around 6th). Hallways are ugly, but room (lowest level) is a nice looking and comfortable suite with jacuzzi bath, living room, kitchen, dining table, 2 TVs, stereo - compact but nice. Some stains on sofa and carpet, but not terrible. We asked for a quiet room based on complaints in other reviews, so they put us on the opposite side from the club next door, which was very quiet. Some surprising things - NO mattress pad and no fitted sheet so by the end of the night so you are directly on a matress - kinda gross for a hotel. NO soap dish or shelf in the shower so be prepared to bend over and get your stuff from the floor. Great breakfast place across the street - The Big Pink. This is NOT a spa or a resort despite the name! They will arrange for an exorbitantly priced ($130) massage in your room, like any other hotel. Pool is so small and unattrractive - not usable. Mandatory resort fee of $8 per day and in room safe fee of $2 per day are hidden costs and unreasonable. Don't expect arrangement for beach chairs or anything - you'll pay $8-10 per chair and per umbrella from beach vendors. Bring your own coffee and filters, and your own food and wine if you want it because minibar is exp like at all hotels. Hope that helps!
Nice place to stay, just needs a little tweaking.
Stayed at the Mercury through a Hotwire purchase. Was rated four stars, which is close, but slightly high.
Room was actually suite in set-up. Living area, kitchen and bedroom.
Bath was subdivided into shower area, toilet room and washbasin. Shower was one of those rain types and didn't seem to have a flow restricter, which was great. Tub had room enough for two (although I was alone and did not get to try) and had jacuzzi. Robes were very nice.
Room was decorated very nicely in a Danish Modern style, with muted colors and lots of light colored wood.
Negatives - Off the beaten track. way far down at the South end of South Beach, Air conditioning leaked all over floor and they nicle and dime you with extra charges. they charge a resort fee of $8.00 per day for who knows what, maybe the pool, and they charge a safe fee for the in room safe. I tried the safe for about 20 minutes and could not figure it out. Check in was a little long, not just for me with a late Hotwire, but also for another guest who was checking in at same time
Not sure if it should have been four stars, but it is a nice place to stay.
Good location, rather average
Recently returned from South Beach. The Mercury South Beach was just okay. The location was good. Close enough for convenience, but still quiet enough for rest. If you're looking for service and luxury, however, pass on this one. It's also not impeccably clean. Employees seem to be mostly very young and not particularly concerned with their guests. You'll be carrying your bags to your room yourself. For basic accommodation, it was fine. The suites provide typical amenities, min-bar, basic appliances. Perfect example: your room has a 4-cup coffee maker, but the little pre-packed coffee in it's own filter is a mini-bar purchase at $3. I didn't find this place to be particularly gracious. But, as a 38-year old woman, I am also probably a little old for the South Beach scene.
No Sleep to Found Here...Keep on Walkin'
Bachelorette Weekend in SoBe was fantastic w/ the exception of the Mercury Hotel.Sergio the afternoon front desk person is clearly not happy w/ his job and went out of his way to give us bad service. He was neither courteous nor helpful...and imagine he was the first person we met in SoBe!The hotel is absolutely NOISY! If you are looking for a quiet, restful, peaceful getaway, then DO NOT COME HERE. The music from Prive and Opium kept us up until 5AM all three nights we stayed there. We could hear the details of people's conversations and the floor was shaking from the loud music. We complained to the front desk and they pretended this was the first time they were hearing of such complaints. After we complained, other guests came down to complain also. Never were we offered a differerent room.Further, the pool is tiny and the jacuzzi not kept at warm enough temperature. There is no one is sight to ask to turn it up.The only redeeming qualities of this hotel are (1) the fanatastic restaurants below and that they offer room service from their menus and (2) moderate sized rooms which are nicely decorated.
Over The Top, With Style!!!!!!!!!
On a spontaneous whim, a bunch of friends headed to south beach. We had heard of all of the celebs staying at this fab little resort called the Mercury, so we looked it up and gave it shot. Wow, wow, and wow! Never have I felt so much like a Movie Star. Suites for the price of a regular room, toys and gadgets galore, personal business cards (perfect when out at the hot clubs) and that staff, they become your personal servants until the moment you have to leave. But not to worry we will be back.
Worse than Terrible
If there was ever a rating below zero, this hotel would get the highest negative rating! In NO WAY does it meet its supposedly 4* rating and the service is non existent. The rooms are smaller that a shoe box and if you ever need any kind of attention, then god help you.Unfortunately this booking was made through Priceline.com and even they were not willing to accept any responsibility.Stay away from this hotel, location is bad, people are not nice and the rooms are very depressing. Not where you want to stay if you are in South Beach!
Wouldn't go back...
South Beach was an amazing place, but the Mercury was less than desirable. The ammenities are nice, and the place is beautiful, but the service is horrible. When you call for toliet paper (which should be a given in a hotel room) and it takes 45 mintues for them to deliver, that's a problem! Also, what hotel have you ever been to that when you ask for more towels they tell you that you can't have any?? Not sure if it was the language barrier or not, but they weren't receptive or accomidating. And, they advertise "VIP Lists at Clubs" We were there for 4 nights and asked each night and never once received a pass or were put on a list. Would I go back? Absolutly not. To south beach, yes, mercury, no.
Near but far
We found the best place when you want to be close enough to the action of South Beach, but at the same time be far enough away...The Mercury Resort. It is located on 1st and Collins...two blocks away from the beach and one block away from Nikki Beach Club. We had a suite and it was set up for everything from preparing a meal to just chilling while watching TV. Near the hotels are restaurants as well as clubs so we didn't even have to go into South Beach if didn't want to. The staff were very helpful and were able to get us into all the clubs we wanted to go to that weekend. This hotel is a wonderful place for a romantic weekend away.

Day 3: Miami Beach
... a coincidence as we haven't been asked that once yet this trip and yet we were asked twice today - odd!!! Went down to the beach and walked along the shoreline for a bit. Water was very warm. The sand is quite shelled and rocky and much paler in comparison to home. After a quick refresher back at the hotel we went back to Lincoln st for Dinner at a lovely outdoor Italian restaurant. We are now back at the hotel to pack ready to travel to New Orleans ...
The Flight
... just to hang around the airport. The clock hit 3:25pm and it was time to depart straight to Miami.
Finally I reached Miami after a long and tiring day I have made it safe. As soon as I got to the airport I arranged for a taxi to take me to my apartment.
I arrived at my apartment laquintamiamiairportwest.com at 7:30pm and went to sleep straight away.

Glenn thought he would torpedo Debra Medina, a true candidate that have the repugnant method of "mocking fingers of scorn" as his method of operation. Glenn Beck has infiltrated the LDS Church, and some believe for a malignant purpose yet to be revealed in time, as prophesied by former church leaders. Time will reveal that unfolding treachery.

This photo of the lower courtyard of Robsons Yard Flats, West Street, Dover, UK, was taken on Sunday, 27th of September during a 3 to 4 hour period when my downstairs neighbours played loud music at a volume demonstrated in this 1-minute YouTube video:
Anti-Social Behaviour: Loud Music at Robsons Yard, Dover UK
Owned by Southern Housing Group (SHG), the 6 flats of Robsons Yard (view from West Street) have a history of psychological violence: noise, threats, intimidation, malicious gossip, assault - the whole works.
As only a relatively minor example, I uploaded a photo of the wind chimes a previous tenant installed because they were so incensed at being asked to turn their music down (the Golden Rule in action).
Indeed, if you click on the YouTube link in my signature, and then the "see all" link at the bottom of videos displayed, you'll see two videos of what it was like living above the previous tenant.
Except for a minor incident with refuse bins (and I don't know who was responsible for it), today is the first time that the rather novel harmony of Robsons Yard has been disrupted.
Previously, I have waited 3 weeks, 3 months, or whatever, before saying something - and all the while asking myself, "Am I being unreasonable in not wanting this continual intrusion in my life?"
In effect, both blaming and punishing myself.
It is impossible, of course, to play music as loud as it was today either accidentally or without at some level saying, "I don't give a flying sausage about anyone else!"
This time around I intend to react as dynamically as the music - even if all I can do is post a video and the above photo.
The caption to the new video reads:
" The last video on anti-social behaviour I uploaded to YouTube was taken on Sunday morning, 7th of June, 2009, to which I subsequently added, "UPDATE: The tenant referred to in this video has moved out."
Since that time, a new couple have moved in and I thought everything was going to be OK - until today, that is.
It's Sunday, 27th of September, 2009, and this video shows what I found on arriving, just after lunchtime, at what is supposed to be my "home".
The video is only 1 minute long, it took me half-an-hour to charge the battery up enough to take it, and it must be another 30 minutes since I did so. The music is still being played at the same level. Obviously, I have no idea when it will end, or how frequent an occurence this is going to be.
The front door of the people playing the music is open, but there's been no answer when I've knocked on it.
The Golden Rule of Abuse is, "Accept what I give you or I'll dig deeper into my capacity for violence and things will get worse!"
Having shared their music with me, I'm now sharing it with the internet (and will inform my landlord that I have done so) and its going to be interesting to see what the reaction is.
My problem is, experience has taught me that there is a definite link between "loud music" (when played in circumstances such as this) and a capacity for psychological violence, be it physical or emotional.
Indeed, it would be charactertistic of an Abusive Personality to say, "You didn't like my loud music? Right - I'll do it again then!"
Loud music is, of course, only "leakage" from an <u>acquired</i> capacity for violence, but there's no such thing as a free lunch and it completely replaces more natural attributes such as instinctive empathy for how other people experience their lives.
As I say, its going to be interesting to see what the reaction to this unwanted, uninvited, and distressing intrusion into my life is. A non-violent person will respond one way, a violent person another - and it is this second group that you would never ever want to be a child of..."
To put it another way, my aversion to people who play loud music without caring about other people is as instinctive as it gets.
I cannot think of any natural reason why another person has the right to take nearly 4 hours out of my life.
The real problem, however, is that on every other occasion that such an anti-social behaviour event has occurred at Robsons Yard, it has only been the prelude of worse things to come.
The video and this photo are my way of protesting.

Fred L. Turner, 80, a former McDonald's executive who helped expand the fast-food chain's global footprint and spearheaded the creation of "Hamburger University," died Monday night after suffering complications from pneumonia, the company said.
During his time as chief executive officer from 1974 to 1987, McDonald's more than tripled its number of locations and set up shop in dozens of new markets. The chain, based in Oak Brook, Ill., has about 34,000 locations worldwide.
He spearheaded the creation of McDonald's Hamburger University in 1961, the company said. The school is a training curriculum for managers, franchisees, and other employees. Today, there are seven Hamburger Universities globally, including one at the company's headquarters that was renamed the Fred L. Turner Training Center in 2004.

The poor relations, those genteel paupers of society who live on little more than their dignity, have banded together and started The Poor Relation hotel, hoping to be bought out by their embarrassed relations - but as the hotel prospered, they began to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Now once more they are in need of funds. To stoop to crime in their days of poverty was one thing, but to turn to it again when they have enjoyed a certain amount of success is quite another. But they all agree: the hotel must go on.

A stray kitten found its way to the top row of Lake Olmstead Stadium and wailed away for most of Monday night's game.
The cat needed a home, and Augusta needed a win. Neither got what it was looking for.
The GreenJackets began their three-game homestand with Capital City by extending their losing streak to six in a 6-2 defeat before a sparse, sweat-soaked crowd.
The Jackets' recent struggles have been characterized by a multitude of errors mental and physical, and the top of the seventh inning Monday summed up their plight succinctly.
With the score tied at 1-1, Capital City's Alhaji Turray stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. The Jackets had a great chance of getting out of the inning unscathed when pitcher Mike Garber induced what had all the looks of a double play.
However, shortstop Hanley Ramirez botched the play, and the ball rolled into the outfield. Two runs scored.
"We didn't field the ball," said Jackets manager Russ Morman. "We got the ground ball that we needed and we didn't field it."
The Bombers then pulled a double steal, as Aaron Baldiris scored from third while Turray took second to make it 4-1.
The Bombers made it a four-run cushion thanks to another Jackets error. This one was charged to catcher Dusty Brown, who made a bad throw trying to catch Andres Rodriguez stealing second to allow another run in.
Ramirez and Rodriguez collided on the play and both were shaken up. Ramirez, favoring his right foot, seemed fine after a few minutes.
The Jackets have committed 18 errors in the past five games. Their last game without an error was June 20 against Charleston - a span of seven games.
"The team that executes wins, and the teams that don't ... they don't," Morman said. "We didn't execute."
Augusta finally put something together offensively in the eighth inning, as Chad Spann hit an RBI double down the right-field line. The score was 5-2, and Jeff Ontiveros walked to load the bases with one out.
Brown, however, grounded into a double play to end the threat. Edgar Rodriguez added an insurance run in the ninth with a towering solo home run inside the left-field foul pole.
"You have to be able to overcome errors," Morman said, "and we have not been able to overcome ours."
Game Report
Bombers 6, GreenJackets 2
TURNING POINT: The Bombers broke open a tie game in the top of the seventh inning, scoring four runs as the Jackets committed two errors. Augusta has 18 errors in its past five games.
BIG BAT: Capital City third baseman Aaron Baldiris went 2-for-3 with a double and was on base three times.
TOP GUN: Capital City's Ryan Olson gave up one hit in four innings of relief and recorded five strikeouts.

Historical Traveler Reviews Doubletree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort & Spa - North Miami Beach
Not recommended!
This is a lovely place, but the service is atrocious As it also serves as a residence, the staff appears to be clueless on amenities. When we arrived at the 4:PM check-in time (2 suites), we were told that the rooms were still dirty and that they could give us no idea on how long it would be before they were ready. There was no coordination between the front desk (one or two clerks - no other staff in the lobby - no concierge, no one to even offer to help with luggage or greet arriving cars!). Our rooms were part of a group blocked for a wedding, but they were actually $20 per night above the rate for the guest who comes in off of the street! When confronted the manager was rude and unhelpful.
The front desk did not synchronize with the housekeeping staff, i.e. a family of four checks into its reserved room and there are only two bath towels, no sheets for the sofa bed, etc. At midnight, it took an hour and three phone calls to get the sheets! The phones in the room have a dozen buttons for direct connection to various hotel departments, but none work - you have to go through the operator. Our used bath towels were not changed on the next day, eventhough housekeeping made up the bed.The food at two events in the hotel was very good, but service was poor. Water was not poured. If you asked for it they'd give it to you without asking who else at the table wanted it - same for the coffee! There is a poolside market with printed hours of operation. However, it appears to open and close at the whim of the staff.When we checked out, we were given no copy of the receipt!No one is asking to be pampered, but who would expect to be mistreated?
Great Rooms but not quite a 'resort'
We just returned from our New Year's vacation to the Ocean Point Resort in Sunny Isles. With three children, we loved the spacious one bedroom suite with sofa bed. We give it an above average rating for mainly for the rooms. The beach was very nice and the children loved the small park right next door and pier within walking distance. There were several small issues with our room (the toilet stopping up, a door fell off its hinges), but they were addressed promplty and efficiently by the front desk staff. I find many of the other comments of past guests regarding the lack of helpfulness of the cabana guys to be accurate. Unless you are pushy, you are likely to not receive much help. The pool heater did not work our first day there, but they were able to get it running by the next day. The market was nice with rotisserie chicken that was quite good. Overall we had a nice stay, but feel that many of the issues could be prevented with better preventive maintenance. Daily parking fee is high at $17 per day!
Go Eagles
We just came back from a 5 day stay and found the condo suite excellent. We were down to watch the Eagles beat the Dolphins. The view was spectacular and the staff was friendly and helpful. The area was kind of quiet, but that was OK. We had a car and went to South Beach for dinners. Before we arrived, we read some of the earlier negative reviews and we were concerned. However, we were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the accomodations.
Parking Fee of 16$ a day. 6$ a day for Housekeeping. Suite had two bedrooms, two full baths,living room, and eating area. A full working kitchen. Including appliances, plates, silverware, glassware. Safe in the room. View from the balcony was spectacular. That was nature. The place is 3 yrs old. I've stayed at places 10 yrs old that were better maintained. The beach was clean, but that's the city's responsibility.
Pool area wasn't that clean. Staff weren't accomodating or nice. DONT EAT IN THEIR RESTAURANT. OVERPRICED, and the food was horrible. The lobby was nicely maintained. Landscaping not manicured. Aside from mother nature... Nothing to brag about at this resort. HERE'S THE NIGHTMARE... They rented 20-25 rooms to kids under 21 for their home-coming. They claimed the parents rented them with a credit card.
UNACCEPTABLE when the front desk doesnt catch this problem and stop them from continuing to enter. MONEY OVERRULES EVERYTHING! These kids pulled a fire alarm at 2:00 AM. So me and my family are running down 16 flights of stairs till we get outside to find there was about 60 kids by their front door. UNBELIEVABLE. SHAME ON THIS RESORT FOR NOT SEEING THE HARM OF RENTING 20 rooms to KIDS UNDER 21 CAN DO AT A "FAMILY FRIENDLY" resort like this one. DON'T BOTHER STAYING AT THIS PLACE!
We loved Ocean Point Resort
We just returned from Ocean Point Resort (8/23/- 8/28/03) and loved the vacation experience! The two bedroom oceanfront suite was lovely and the view is breathtaking. My children loved the zero-entry pool. This resort is in an ideal location between downtown Miami and Ft.
Lauderdale. We did not have to go far for shopping and entertainment.
My husband and I were impressed with the courtesy, helpfulness and professionalism of the staff. Special Thanks to Jonathan, Patricia, Jaime and Andre for your kindness.
We highly recommend Ocean Point Resort as great place to vacation.
Mrs. D. Harper Washington, DC
Very nice vacation!
We stayed here for six nights, and had a very nice time. Sure, there were some glitches: one of the phones didn't work properly (there were at least three phones, so not a real hardship); the toilet didn't flush properly the first day (but was repaired as soon as we reported it); some walls in our unit could have used a fresh coat of paint (but we were traveling with three small children, so didn't have to worry about keeping fingerprints off); the cabana boy was indeed rude and his speech indecipherable (just kind of added to the European feel of the place :)); and on the first day one of the beds appeared to have dirty sheets (which was rectified by a call to the front desk). The pluses outweighed the minuses, however: the gorgeous view from the balcony; good food (we used room service a couple of times, but never ate in the restaurant); WONDERFUL pool (the zero-entry pool was a real advantage, since we had a toddler who was just beginning to walk, and this was the perfect way to let her play in the pool safely in just a couple of inches of water); the two-bedroom unit was generously spacious enough for a family of five (even roomy enough to entertain guests comfortably); luxurious Aveda amenties in the bathrooms; and an attentive staff.
Perhaps it's just because our family needed a vacation so badly, but I was willing to overlook the shortcomings and enjoy the comfortable atmosphere of the Ocean Point. I'm looking forward to returning next year.
A few caveats: Parking is available by valet only. Overnight parking is $16. Visitors pay $8, but may come and go throughout the day There is also a resort fee per person to cover the 'free' use of beach chairs, umbrellas, water sports, etc.
Overall Good
We just returned from a 5 night stay at Oceanpoint. We had a two bedroom suite which was perfect since we have 3 children. The room could have been cleaner. The walls needed touch ups and the carpet needs replacing. Overall the room was ok, the oceanview balcony was wonderful, the full kitchen was very usefull and the the washer/dryer we used every day. We never ate in the restaurant, and only bought candy bars in the market once (expensive!). Walk across the street to Walgreens to pick up soda and treats instead. The valet service was friendly, but the cabana guy was rude and I couldn't understand him. The Oceanpoint has free use of water toys but the cabana guy never let anyone use them. The weather was perfect and the ocean was very calm and we couldn't use the kayaks. That was one of the reasons we chose this resort and we were very disapointed. My son slept in the roll out couch, on our way out to eat the first night I asked at the front desk if they would bring up some sheets so I could make the bed for him. When we got back the bed was already made for him, and we were only gone about an hour. The front desk also searched out an amusement park for us w/a map and everything so service was very good. I think our next visit I would try a different place just so I could compare.
Beware of this Place!
I just came back from this resort. we stayed there sat-tues. First off let me say that when you walk into this place you get a good impression, the downfall starts when the staff starts talking to you. They are rude and not much help. The nicest people there were the valet people. When we got to the room, it was very clean, no problems there, but when you start to look around you notice that they give you half a roll of toilet paper and no extra. The phones were broken, and the air broke about 2 hours of us being there. When we reported the problem the front desk guy named Jonathan was rude and bothered by the fact that we told him. I wanted to switch rooms but he insisted that we stay. Nonetheless it was fixed about 5 hours later. The pool at this place is horrible, it is only 4ft deep, and hardly a resort looking pool. The cabana boys that set up your chairs and umbrellas were so rude, you couldnt even understand what they were saying. They went as far as removing our umbrella while we were in the water, claiming that a storm was coming and that we had to leave the beach. Lets just say that this resulted in a verbal fight with another guest. I didnt enjoy this place I would not stay here ever again. I recommened the Eden Roc, now that it a very nice resort. Save your money and dont set foot in this piece of **** place.
Good time would go again.
We really enjoyed our stay there even though it was after the tourist season (we stayed between 5/12 and 5/18). We had a one bedroom suite that had a separate living room, dining room and a FULL kitchen (with plates, utensils, glasses, wine glasses and full set of pots and pans) separate from the bedroom. The whole suite was beautiful! It even had a washer and dryer. The shower was fabulous and the jacuzzi in the bathroom was a great relief. We had a great view (even if a little skewed) of the ocean and the ocean was very accessible. The guys who supply the umbrellas, towells and chaise lounges are a bit NOT helpful so you have to force your case and you will get what you want. Would we stay again? Yes, but, the restaurant closes down during the off season and there are few places to eat around the hotel. We ordered a dinner and breakfast and the service was fast and the help was above average.
Bad Experience
Just returned from a 4 day Memorial Day vacation at Ocean Point. The beautiful views were overshadowed by numerous problems with our 2 bedroom suite. Thermostat did not work, voice mail did not work (missed messages), and found out on third day that the intermittant bad smell eminating from master bath was actually backed up sewer gas coming from a broken toilet! I found it incredible that they did not promptly address and fix. Management showed little concern. They offered us $100 off on next visit, but we will never go back.

... and no towel and no sun cream? Do I ever learn? Probably not. After the excitement went away I realised I was dealing with 35 degrees heat and needed water so we went to Ocean Drive to find it. It was happy hour which made me happy. Half price food and drinks you say? Let's do it! God knows what they thought of me dripping wet in the restaurant but as long as it had aircon I didn't care.

We were awake quite early as there was a lot of people in our room, we went downstairs and had some of the free breakfast.

We left the shops at lunchtime and walked down to the beach it was very beautiful but Miami is much more of a holiday destination than a tourist attraction. It was really ...

The best recycling programs build from the ground and have support from top management. Start with obvious items like paper and plastics.
Between printing paper, cardboard boxes, toner cartridges, and food containers made of plastic, tin, or glass, offices have many opportunities to increase their recycling measures. By starting or expanding your recycling program, you can help reduce your company's carbon footprint and create a greener supply chain.
"Determine what is going in the trash and what can be recycled," says Doug Berjer, product manager for CFR, a manufacturer of green carpet cleaners. "Ask your trash collecting company what they will and will not recycle."
From there, Berjer offers the following recycling tips:
Once these measures are in place, you can even expand to vermicomposting, which uses worms for composting.
"Some offices have containers housing worms that eat food scraps – coffee grounds, banana peels, and so on," says Berjer. "As it passes through the worm's body it forms compost, turning waste into the life-giving ingredients to grow new life."

Wednesday game report: Bucks at Jazz
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Backup center Enes Kanter helped turn the game in Utah's favor with a stellar first-half performance. The second-year pro from Turkey contributed 11 points and five rebounds in the second quarter as the Jazz outscored the Bucks, 32-18. Kanter finished 7 of 9 and added nine rebounds and a career-high five blocks. "He hasn't been playing at a high level and I think he knew that," said Jazz starting center Al Jefferson. "I just told him to relax and let the game come to him."
BIG NUMBER: The Bucks shot 35.4%, just missing a season low number. Milwaukee shot 35.3% in a road loss at Memphis on Dec. 19.
TEAMS: Bucks (25-23) vs. Detroit Pistons (18-32).
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: BMO Harris Bradley Center.
BROADCASTS: TV - None. Radio - AM-620.
SANDERS SCARE: It was a scary sight to see Bucks center Larry Sanders flat on the floor in Denver on Tuesday, after Kenneth Faried ran him over while attempting a powerful dunk.
But the Bucks received good news Wednesday when a bone scan taken in Salt Lake City revealed no fractures, only a bruised back and right hip.
Sanders was still in pain Wednesday and was not available for the game against the Jazz. Bucks coach Jim Boylan said Sanders would be listed as day to day.
Veteran Samuel Dalembert, coming off a career-high 35 points in the Bucks' loss in Denver, started in Sanders' place.
"There's no structural damage; he's just got a bruise," Boylan said. "There was an X-ray taken last night that really didn't show much. So we were just waiting until this morning where we could get a more detailed image.
"I don't know if there was any sort of hand-wringing or anything like that. We were concerned about Larry. He was uncomfortable. He got hurt; it was a big fall. We were just making sure everything was as right as it could be. We didn't want to say anything until we absolutely knew what the situation was."
Sanders was in the Bucks' locker room after the game and said he tried to rest Wednesday but was having trouble sleeping because of the pain. He said he hoped he would be back within a few days.
NO DUNKER: Forward Ersan Ilyasova takes some ribbing from his teammates because he disdains the dunk.
So rookie John Henson tweeted earlier this week that Ilyasova should be chosen for the dunk contest on all-star weekend in Houston.
Ilyasova smiled when asked about his teammate's kidding tweet.
"For me, dunking and a layup is the same, two points," Ilyasova said. "Why expend more energy on a dunk when you can make a layup?
"Sometimes the layup is more consistent because you can make 'and-one.' If you dunk, it's they block the shot or you make the shot. On a layup, everybody's athletic and quick in the NBA game, so it's best to make the quick layup. They're never expecting it. It's part of my game."
Ilyasova admits he's tempted occasionally.
"On the fast break, I will dunk once in a while," Ilyasova said.
Ilyasova said he didn't know how many dunks he has this season.
"Not many," he said.
