text: The Salvation Army facility on Hazle Avenue in Wilkes-Barre has been demolished. Attempts to reach a Salvation Army representative Thursday evening were unsuccessful. Wilkes-Barre city spokeswoman Liza Prokop said the demolition is not a city project, so she had no information available. The building had housed the organization's adult rehabilitation center. The city Zoning Hearing Board in August 2011 approved the Salvation Army's request to operate a 24-hour adult rehabilitation center at 60 New Hill St., a few hundred feet from its site on Hazle. The Salvation Army ARC program had then housed about 50 adults in need of basic necessities, therapy, counseling and spiritual direction with issues of substance misuse, legal problems, relational conflicts, homelessness and unemployment. The center also provided food and shelter for homeless men. Maj. Charles Deitrick, second in command for the Salvation Army's Rehabilitation Counseling Centers, had said the Hazle Avenue building was 99 years old and in need of repairs. He said the new location provides increased safety and more up-to-date facilities. The property is fenced, has parking for 53 vehicles and has a camera surveillance system. The Salvation Army withdrew its plan to buy the former Valley Crest Nursing Home property from Luzerne County for $4.7 million after Plains Township refused to grant a zoning variance needed to open an adult rehabilitation center.

John Abraham, whose latest production "Madras Cafe" was under attack from Tamil activists for allegedly showcasing LTTE cadres as terrorists, says he always wanted to break clutter with his films. And the courage to do so comes from his audience.
His debut production "Vicky Donor" dealt with the sensitive subject of sperm donation in a lighter vein, and "Madras Cafe" is based on the Sri Lankan civil war. While one entertained, the latter is aimed at engaging.
"Very frankly, the courage to be a clutter-breaker comes from the audience. 'Vicky Donor' was widely accepted. It really doesn't matter if some political organisations object to my (new) film. It's up to the audience to accept or reject the film," John said.
"Madras Cafe", which features John as a RAW agent and Nargis Fakhri as a war correspondent, released Friday. Theatre owners in Tamil Nadu refrained from releasing either the Hindi or the Tamil version fearing protests from Tamil activists.
Isn't it a tough situation for a new producer like you?
"I am new to the business. But if I've to be a clutter-breaker, I may have to make political statements. As a filmmaker, I must be allowed to have my say in a democratic nation," he said.

Ariel Schrag: On Her New Novel 'Adam,' Writing for the 'L Word,' and Trans Inclusiveness
Posted on 30. Jul, 2014 by Heather Seggel in Features, Interviews
You may know Ariel Schrag as the author and illustrator of a series of graphic memoirs (¬ÝPotential,¬ÝLikewise), or as a writer for¬ÝThe L Word. She also received the most exuberant name-check in the Le Tigre song 'ÄúHot Topic,'Äù a nod she returns with a wink in her debut novel Adam (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). When seventeen year old Adam Freeman ditches his boring scene in Piedmont, CA to spend the summer with his lesbian sister Casey in New York City, he's hoping for life-changing excitement in one form only: Girls. When he meets Gillian, the girl of his dreams, fun turns to major confusion as he realizes she has mistaken him for a transman, the most plausible explanation for why this cute young guy is hanging out with a bunch of lesbians. The book is riotously funny, deeply romantic, and a head-clearing breath of fresh air in its look at sexual and gender politics. I asked Schrag via email about Adam, trans inclusion then (the book is set in 2006) and now, and¬ÝThe L Word (because I simply couldn't resist).
In just the past few years trans visibility has increased and transpeople have begun to receive more respect and consideration. Your novel is comic in tone and often ironically grapples with trans related issues, did you worry about charges of trivializing the lives of transpeople by taking this approach?
The premise of the novel is supposed to be provocative. It'Äôs supposed to ignite feelings of 'ÄúOooh that'Äôs 'Äòproblematic,'Äô'Äù Fiction should get people thinking and talking and the idea of a cis teenage boy passing as a trans man brought up many issues and questions for me, which is why I wrote¬ÝAdam. I don'Äôt believe a premise alone can be trivializing. If someone finishes the book and finds the story trivializing I'Äôd be interested to hear why. If you haven'Äôt read the book, I'Äôd ask that you refrain from forming an opinion until you do. Gender and sexual identity are things I'Äôve struggled with in my personal experience and the lesbian/trans* subculture of the East Village/Williamsburg is the world I'Äôve lived in for the past fifteen years, so though told through a cis straight boy'Äôs eyes, it'Äôs a novel that'Äôs very close to me.
In terms of issues around gender, what changes have you seen between 2006 and today?
Much has changed in terms of trans visibility in the past eight years and I don'Äôt believe¬ÝAdam¬Ýwould make sense set in the present day. Adam posing as a trans man comes out of his initial ignorance about trans people in general. Because, in 2006, trans identity is something the outside world seems to know nothing about, Adam feels less accountable. Today, though there'Äôs still a long way to go, most teens (especially from the Bay Area like Adam) are more educated about trans issues. Also, with increasing trans visibility, I imagine people in their late teens or twenties who are transitioning now have a different experience from those in 2006. In the early 2000s it felt like no one outside our subculture bubble had any idea what we were talking about when we talked about transitioning. It was a feeling we resented and, for some, took a certain thrill in.
Before even opening the book I intended to ask about your time writing for¬ÝThe L Word. Thankfully Adam tags along to a¬ÝL Word¬Ýviewing party with his sister in one of the book's funniest scenes. Did your experience with the show help?
Writing for¬ÝThe L Word¬Ýwas an amazing experience. It was my first 'Äúreal'Äù job out of college and pretty much my dream job'Äîto sit in a room with five super talented lesbians and come up with stories all day long. I got the job through my entertainment lawyer who also represented Rose Troche, who was an exec-producer. Killer Films had optioned my graphic memoir¬ÝPotential¬Ýand I had written a screenplay, which I used as a writing sample.
When I interviewed with Rose and Ilene Chaiken for the job one of the things I talked about was how in my generation, especially in places like NYC or SF, a lot of lesbians I knew were transitioning into men. Ilene was interested and wanted to tell a trans story on¬ÝThe L Word. The Moira/Max storyline was groundbreaking in many ways'ÄîI'Äôd never seen a TV show fully chart someone'Äôs transition before, but of course there were also aspects of the way it played out that made me cringe (primarily to do with Max'Äôs costuming, that facial hair!).
I liked the idea of Adam first realizing what "transgender" means through a Max episode'Äîbecause I think that storyline introduced many people to it'Äîbut at the same time for Adam to be at this party full of lesbians talking trash at the screen. The scene is both revelatory and discombobulating. Also, I found it amusing that this room full of lesbians'Äîhalf of which were in the process of transitioning into men'Äîwere making gagging noises at Tina making out with a cis man.
You're primarily known for your graphic memoirs and writing for TV, both of which give the viewer something to look at. How did it feel writing a novel and knowing it was up to us to visualize?
Knowing readers would be internally visualizing the story is what excited me about writing a novel. There is something wonderfully subjective that happens with prose. I may be describing the environments Adam finds himself in or giving hints at what characters look like, but ultimately, it's a world created by the reader. I've had various friends tell me how they imagined the apartment Adam, Casey, [and their friends] June and Ethan live in and it's always some version of an apartment they've lived in or been in at some point. Because of this, the story becomes intensely personal in a way that doesn't happen when the storyteller provides the image. I love that the book exists in people's minds the same way their own memories or fantasies do. I think it makes the story "real" in an unparalleled way. There are also, of course, things that comics and film do that prose doesn't. I love the raw emotion and subconscious access the drawn line in comics achieves. I love the collaboration between writer, director, DP, actors, musicians, and producers that film allows.
Adam is such an easy character to like, despite my initial impulse to consider him the enemy. What if anything do you think that says about our ability to get along across intersectional boundaries?
Adam is "the enemy" symbolically, since he is the definition of privilege, but I don't think the twenty-something queers he comes into contact with necessarily see him that way. They're more indifferent to him. He's Casey's boring little brother. Occasionally he'll say something clueless or offensive and Casey and co. will use it as an opportunity to lecture, which is really more about their desire to lecture than about Adam.
Of course, Adam and Gillian never would have gotten together if she'd known from the beginning he was seventeen and cis. They end up having a unique, special bond, but Gillian needs the idea of a shared experience (being queer, being female-born, being 22) to allow herself to like him. What we have in common with people is what makes us feel safe and comfortable, and common interests make for enjoyable conversation. But it's almost always the things that are different about someone that truly excite us.
Despite his genuine goodness, some of the people Adam prejudges (especially summer roommate June) or innocently misjudges reveal themselves over time to be more complex and sympathetic than he'd thought. June also presents a study in contrasts when her identity politics are undermined by anti-Semitic behavior toward their landlords. In a story already knee-deep in layers, why was it important to include these shifts in perspective?
Everyone prejudges people for a variety of reasons upon meeting them. Sometimes our prejudices are validated, but more often a person surprises us as we get to know them. It's a universal phenomenon that I thought was important to emphasize in a book about identity. Much of Adam asks the question: Is identity something we experience internally or is it something dependent on the eyes of another? When Adam is anxiously preparing for his date with Gillian in the Scholes St. apartment bathroom he asks himself: "Did you really need another person to make you who you were? Yes." For some trans people this is why it's so crucial to transition. Whether a trans person has surgery or not, what's important is being identified by the outside world as how they feel inside. Not just important, but for some, life or death necessary. There's all this rhetoric around "Be yourself, don't care what other people think." But it's impossible to not see yourself through the eyes of everyone you come into contact with; and through that process we develop a sense of self.
I don't believe June is anti-Semitic, as in actually a person who hates all Jews. When someone we don't know angers us, we all tend to latch on to whatever information we do have about the person and that becomes a dock, a resting place for our anger. It feels better to have something to hate, some explanation, rather than nothing to grasp onto. We cling to prejudice when it gives our minor affronts meaning. June is just as susceptible to this as anyone else. All she knows about the landlords is that they are Hasidic, so she fixates on this. Also, because the Hasidic landlord refuses to shake June's hand because she's a woman, June feels justified in her hate-speech, as if her rants are an opposition to religious misogyny. Hate begets hate. And being Jewish herself, June also feels a certain comfort and exemption from prejudice accusations, is even gleeful in her anti-Semitism because she is safe from anyone calling her out. She is "more Jewish" than Adam, Casey, or Ethan, so who are they to tell her to stop. Of course, this logic is ridiculous. Members of a group are often prejudiced against that group and should be called out. But unless you're also a member of that group people feel uncomfortable doing this.
Near the end of the novel [spoiler alert] Adam ends up at Camp Trans, the protest camp at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, and instead of being tarred and feathered, something unexpected happens'Ķ.Why did you choose to set this climactic scene here?
One important thing about Adam's deception is that other than letting Gillian infer that he's a trans man he doesn't actually do all that much to deceive her. He doesn't change his physical appearance in any way and they barely have any conversations about it. "…his being trans rarely even came up. She knew he didn't like to talk about it, so it was almost always avoided or hopped over in conversation, like a wobbly-looking stone when crossing a creek. They talked about everything else." Alone, Adam obsessively educates himself about everything trans, but apart from a couple moments with Lionel at Karaoke, he never actually uses this information in conversation. At no point does he pontificate on what it's like to be trans or make up some backstory about a girlhood. He is essentially himself.
Gillian believes Adam to be trans, it allows her to see him in a certain light, but that light is created by Gillian, not Adam. The primary thing Adam¬Ýdoes¬Ýdo to maintain the deception is hide his erections. The existence of his penis is the dominating element of the lie. The fear is that Gillian will discover the penis, be disgusted and horrified, and leave him. I thought it was interesting then, to have the climax of the novel take place at Camp Trans, a protest against MWMF'Äôs policy excluding trans women, a policy that is largely defended by the fact that some trans women have penises, and the belief that penises have no place at MWMF. Adam, Gillian, and the other Camp Transers listen with surging emotion as trans activist Julia Serano performs her spoken word piece 'ÄúCocky'Äù'Äîa piece, in part, about the absurd power 'Äúthe penis'Äù holds, how society and culture has infused it with all this symbolism.
Men themselves should be held responsible for their actions— whether that's rape, misogyny, abuse of physical and emotional power, or harmful political indifference. But the penis is just a flesh body part. We need to remove all the symbolic power the penis holds and see it merely as a piece of anatomy that some people have and others don't. The climactic scene with Gillian in the woods is supposed to illicit different, strong reactions. Adam's deception is unequivocally wrong, that's obvious from the beginning— but having him "tarred and feathered" at the end would have been predictable and not especially thought provoking. More importantly, that ending did not feel real to me. I find the ambiguity that happens instead more interesting and the questions it brings up are the reason I wrote the book.
Adam leaves the San Francisco Bay Area to spend the summer in New York City, both hubs for culture, political activism and GLBT strongholds. I know you've lived on both coasts, but would you ever consider setting a story in so-called 'Äúflyover'Äù country?
I've only ever lived in California and New York so I don't have much experience in the flyover states. I'm not opposed to setting a story there, but grounded fiction works best when you can describe a vivid and realistic environment. The details of a native go a long way.
One Response to "Ariel Schrag: On Her New Novel 'Adam,' Writing for the 'L Word,' and Trans Inclusiveness"
I loved "Adam" more than any novel I've read in a few years. As a genderqueer bi pervert who has spent the last thirty years with alt-sex as my primary community, it was great fun getting to view my world – its joys and its contradictions – through the eyes of Adam's intelligent innocence. Kudos to Ms. Schrag and her publisher!

Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, described how to revolutioniz...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
Some say wood storks have a face only a mother could love. In some respects I suppose that could be true, they are not the most attractive looking birds out there. But over the years I have grown rather fond of these large ungainly birds and have begun to appreciate their unusual appearance.
Here are a few different shots from the past week or so. The first two pictures are of a juvenile wood stork while the last two are an adult.
The last photo is a nice close up view of that unique face.
Yesterday afternoon we had a large group of juvenile brown pelicans invade the marsh. They spent the entire day flying and diving and splashing all over the place.
It almost seemed like they were practicing for when they grow up to be adults and will do much of their fishing out over the ocean.
But for now, like kids everywhere, these young pelicans were just having a great time playing in the water!
Hooded Mergansers are my all time favorite duck. They are fun to watch and comical in appearance, almost like nature's little joke on us all. If someone tried to invent a cartoon duck from another planet, hoodies are what they would look like.
Yesterday afternoon I saw this male hoodie floating along quietly but I could tell just from looking at him that he was not going to stay put for long. Hooded mergansers can be very skittish and within a few seconds this little guy was off and running. And then of course finally flying.
For kind of goofy looking ducks, hoodies are extremely fast flyers and this little fellow zipped by me in an instant.
I always enjoy any chance I get to watch and photograph a hoodie because they never fail to entertain and amaze!
Yesterday afternoon I spotted this osprey sitting high up in a pine at the edge of the salt marsh. It wasn't until I got a closer look that I realized he had just about finished his dinner.
The entire front portion of the a fish had been removed and consumed, all that was left was a bit of mid and tail section.
In a blink though, the osprey was off and had taken his leftovers along with him.
This past week a bald eagle decided to sit high up in a pine tree and enjoy some afternoon sun along with a panoramic view of the marsh.
The eagle must have spotted something because he didn't stay in the tree for long. With a jump and a flap of those huge wings, this eagle was airborne and past me in a flash. From there it seemed to be an almost effortless glide with only minimal wing action required.
Nice day for a flight!

In his first season as Texas A&M's head coach, Kevin Sumlin has coached the Aggies to a 10-2 record, the No. 9 national ranking and a Cotton Bowl berth against OU.
Cotton Bowl: Getting to know Kevin Sumlin's Texas A&M staff
What kind of coaching staff helped Sumlin stage such a remarkable success story in A&M's maiden season in the Southeastern Conference? Here are five questions that shed some light on the staff that OU will oppose in the Cotton Bowl.
Who will replace offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, the new head coach at Texas Tech, for the Cotton Bowl?
Running backs coach Clarence McKinney. Sumlin will hire a permanent replacement later. But for now, McKinney will coordinate the Aggie offense. Receivers coach David Beaty will coach the quarterbacks. McKinney was head coach at Houston Yates High School from 2005-07, then joined Sumlin's Houston U. staff.
What is the background of A&M defensive coordinator Mark Snyder?
Snyder grew up in Ironton, Ohio and went to Marshall University. Snyder coached at Central Florida for two seasons, then joined Jim Tressel's staff at Youngstown State. Snyder eventually spent 10 years with Tressel, the final four at Ohio State, including defensive coordinator in 2004.
Snyder became Marshall's head coach in 2005, and in five years went 22-37. Snyder spent the past two seasons as defensive coordinator at South Florida.

"A Good Value Hotel"
A very solid hotel that's well located, clean, and offers a decent breakfast. Not luxurious but a very nice and a good value. And the front desk staff has a couple English speakers, which is rare and wonderful in Rio.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location"
2 blocks from beach and 3 blocks from subway. Comfortable and clean but not elegant. Good value for the price. Hotel staff mostly helpful in navigating around Rio. Good breakfast.Genuine Expedia guest review
Great rooms for the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Located in nice part of Copacabana beach"
Only two blocks from the beach, the Hotel fronts a nice city park where the locals gather for conversation and games of chess and checkers. There are lots of nice sidewalk cafés in the area. The breakfast was very good. As is the case with most "fancy" hotels, they charged for internet access; however, I was somehow able to access wi-fi for free on […] my smart phone.

"Good location"
i enjoyed the close proximity to the beach/strip but did not like the neighborhood directly behind the hotel. dirty, smelly and overcrowded.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The service was excellent especially as we were able to access the room before check-in time after a long overnight flight, and to use the top (pool) floor after checkout while waiting for our transport. The room was large, clean and quiet and the food was excellent, especially the breakfast. Highly recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Old hotel , Internet Sucks"
Hotel Very Old , NO VIEW AT ALL which was disappointing to be in RIO and no View, Internet only in the reception , even if you pay to use room internet its very very bad. hotel reception friendly . breakfast acceptable but not great. location is good near the beach, but the hotel do not provide anything except old towels. my flight was at 11 night […] , i have a new born baby so i request for a late check out but was rejected , no way to extend more than 11am i asked for a late check out. Old window AC in the room , there was a kind of renovation without informing us either while doing the booking or while staying , all the day TOK TOK TOK TOk over our heads.

"Good location poor service"
Location of the hotel is great but the front desk service was poor. They were of no help with trying to book a samba dance. Gave us brochure and said call to book it. Also no help when we had a flight glitch.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK location, tired facilty"
The hotel is one block from the beach, but there is no beach view. The rooms are large, but the floor is some type of linoleum rather than carpeting, and the bed was terrible. The mattress was not at all comfortable, was of poor quality and should have been replaced a long time ago. There are window air-conditioning units which are very noisy. Bathroom […] was granite surfaces and very nice. Staff was competent and helpful, but not particularly friendly. The included breakfast was fine. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"convenient location in a family neighborhood"
The front desk were very helpful. The breakfast was very good.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location, but room not so good!"
This hotel is one block away from Copacabana beach, with great access to Bus and Subway (Metro) public transportation. The hotel lobby area and breakfast are really good. But the room condition is not good, (2 star). The bathroom door was rotten, the bed is really hard, needs more pillows and better sheets. The staff needs to smile more and a "Good […] morning" would help. The Staff is helpful if you approach them, but they can do better. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Kind of expensive for what it is but everything else was full, didn't make me regreret it. Employes are exellent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"convenient and accomodating"
had a very good time, the staff was very responsive and pleasant. the only ammenity that did not work was the wifi...most of us had to sit in the lobby to use it, and the best time was late at nightGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great service, clean rooms, close to the beach!"
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Mar Palace. Our rooms were extremely clean, the staff were awesome, and the hotel was cheap and 2 blocks away from the beach. There is always at least 1-2 people at the front desk that know English, and they are more than happy to help with booking tours, translating, and giving recommendations on sights […] around the city. The breakfast buffet was excellent-- always stocked with fresh fruit and a variety of different breads/pastries. For the price, I would definitely stay here again.

"Clean, comfortable, well maintained"
Staff was a bit stiff for Brazilians. Cafe de manha was very good with great hours 6am - 10 am.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for everyone"
Great location for shopping,dinning and the beach.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ok place to stay for a day"
I had to stay a day in this hotel waiting for my flight back home. The hotel was comfortable; however, the service was not all that great. The person at the desk was pretty friendly and polite. However, I could hardly understand what he was saying. I thought that someone was taking my bags to my room, but after I located them sitting by the elevator, […] I ended up taking it up myself and found my own room. The free breakfast was great, but the staff ignore foreign speaking guests. Puts no effort to try to understand what you want or what you are asking. As a matter of fact the waiter never looked up. I helped myself at all times. No help by staff for foreign guests that speak no Portugese. Otherwise pretty convenient area with park right accross the street full of people and transportation at the door. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to beach"
It is very nice hotel, clean and comfort. front desk service also are good quality and professional. walk only few min to beach.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not what I expected."
The room was clean but sparse. The bed spread was very thin and the floor was a wood panel. The bathroom didn't have have Kleenex or a glass of any kind.Genuine Expedia guest review
"I'd stay again."
The room was big with a large flat screen TV (premium chnls in English) stocked mini-fridge and very nice bathroom/shower. The free breakfast was also very good but a little repetitive. It was a 2min walk to the beach, in a nice part of Copa surrounded by bars and restaurants. There is also a 24hr grocery across the street . The Wi-Fi was not very good […] but the hotel is in a 3G zone. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Hotel internet service was not working. Did not get wakeup call even after stressing its importance so do not rely on them. Overall impression was favorable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Hotel Mar Palace Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro"
The Hotel is super close to the Copacabana Beach, great view, nice place and great hotel service. The breakfast was amazing, just perfect to start the day in the wonderful city!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Charged for extra occupant"
Hotel is is a good location in Copacaba, but service was below average, and they charged for an extra occupant to stay the night. Overall there are better hotels for this price...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Value and Location, Clean and Spacious"
Hotel is well-located a couple blocks from the beach and close to many restaurants and the metro. The rooms are very spacious, well-maintained and clean. Service was good. Nice breakfast included. Quiet. Nothing fancy but very comfortable. Only two small elevators though so sometimes need to wait for the elevator.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Stayed at the Mar Palace Hotel 29th March-8th April. Cleaniness of room excellent. Very friendly staff. Hotel amenities very good- just two things that we weren't happy about.This was the only Hotel we have ever stayed in that didn't have a coffee making machine or an iron.

A good hotel with excellent location, just one block from the ocean. Comfortable stay and helpful reception. They even allowed us to check in early and would make an effort to sort out a problem.

The room was adequate. It's what you'd expect in Rio. Don't go there expecting a 5 Star North American hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful, and made some great recommendations for food. It's is very well located, close to the beach and subway. The wifi is not free in the rooms, however it is free in the lobby. The breakfast buffet every morning […] was decent.

The hotel is well placed close to the beach, staff were very friendly... Clean, comfortable rooms but I wish we had a room overlooking the park at the front of the hotel insteadGenuine Expedia guest review
"Overall decent hotel"
Front desk service was excellent, breakfast mediocre, daily room service left some to be desired. No drinking water, no kleenex, no spare rolls. Gym was terrible, tiny room on the roof surrounded by glass without AC with just a couple of minimal cardio machines, the pic in the ad was taken so the mirrors make the gym look huge. There's a good gym two […] blocks away but drop-ins are 50 reals. Grocery store across the street. Still decent value for the location, only 1.5 blocks from Copa beach. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok hotel for business traveller"
This hotel is clean and safe but pretty basic. From a business traveller point of view it does the job with free wireless internet and a decent self serve breakfast. If you are staying a weekend you may find it nicer to find a hotel on the beach as you will have no view from your window. It is reasonably well positioned with a couple of decent restaurants […] nearby and a few supermarkets to stock up the fridge in the room. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Conveniently located"
OK - very friendly staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for the price!"
We loved the location, only 2 blocks (a little less than this) from Copacabana beach. There is a bus stop across the street and the train is very close. The room was large and the breakfast was great. There's a park across the street where you can watch little old men play cards and checkers! We really loved the hotel and the location. Only thing, the […] internet service only works if you go to the lobby. It doesn't really work in the rooms. Other than this, I highly recommend this hotel!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mar Palace Copacabana"
My family stayed in the Mar Palace for Carnival in February 2012. It is situated in the centre of Copacabana and we were very happy with our stay. The beach is only two blocks away, about 5 minutes walk max. The nearest metro station is 3 blocks away, about 10 minutes walk max. The staff were helpful and friendly and spoke pretty good English - unlike […] many of the restaurants we tried in the area. The rooms were fine, if a little basic, and could do with a sofa or similar seating. The design of the headboard makes sitting up in bed a little uncomfortable. The rooftop terrace and pool were good, we used them several times. The pool is pretty small, and was fine for the kids to play in, but not really one for serious swimming. More of a plunge pool to cool off in for adults. You do get a great view of the Christ the Redeemer statue from the roof :) The breakfast buffet was great, with plenty of options. The quality of the lunches we had on the terrace was also very good. In general the hotel was fine as a base for our visit to Rio. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only If On A Tight Budget."
Arrived late in the evening. Hotel dark and front door locked. Not welcoming. Very noisy air conditioning. After two days, toilet leaked. When we complained we were told that it was Sunday and no one was available to fix it! Went to reception and complained again. Offered alternative, inferior, room which we rejected. Then offered superior room at higher […] price. Again rejected and eventully allowed to go there at original price. Main problem was with hot water which was frequently unavailable (not what you want when you return from the beach covered in sand and sun tan lotion). Reception told us that because the hotel was full it took a long time to cope and reach all rooms, i.e. the sytem isn't up to the job. Not recommended unless you are on a tight budget. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel just stop trying to sell extras"
This hotel is great. We got a room on the top floor which was very modern and the bathroom looking brand new. Also very functional room and the location was great for tourists just a block from the beach and on the road where the buses stop. Definitely recommend. The only complaint we had about the hotel was that one of the receptionists constantly […] tried to sell tours rather then listening to what we actually wanted. I think he was on commission from the company given how insistent he was! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Oct 12, 2011The reason I give this game a 10 is because I have never really liked any Kirby game until this gem came along. The game is a blast to play, and it's especially rewarding to unlock all the music, and mini games. If you enjoy platformers with a touch of cuteness then you need to own this game. I also give it a 10 because well it is an amazing game. :)
Oct 4, 2011Personally, I thought Kirby's Canvas curse was a curse on the franchise. I really disliked it because in my eyes, it wasn't so much a Kirby game as it was a Kirby-themed pinball game with the twist that you draw your own ramps. Kirby's Mass Attack is nothing like it, thank God, and funny enough has a pinball mini-game that I find a lot more fun than Canvas Curse. The ability to move similarly has been retained, but works more like a rainbow tractor beam than a rainbow ramp. I must admit I was a bit irritated when I only had that first, singular Kirby, wanting nothing more than to just be able to use the control pad for a new Kirby game made in this century. The moment I got the second one, that vanished entirely, and it became obvious to me that I was in for one fun game. There's something particularly satisfying about starting a stage with a full horde of them, beating the snot out of various enemies. It's like controlling a vicious cloud of fluffy pink piranha. The levels are very world-appropriate, and have really cute touches, such as the skeletons of various enemies in the walls in a cave stage. The difficulty is just right, harder than Superstar but easier than curse, with a list of achievement-like goals for those that like to completely beat a game. The mini-games are a load of fun by themselves. Most notable to me is the most insane shoot-em-up ever (sadly a touch too easy). My nitpick is that the camera is sometimes a bit reluctant to go the direction you want to, even if your whole team is together. This is especially bad in the haunted house in area 4, making it a little harder than it was already. But, I definitely agree this is a must-have for most DS owners, and an easy near-perfect for Nintendo. Bravo, Nintendo, encore!… Expand
Oct 13, 2011Kirby Mass Attack is the reason to own a DS if you're a Kirby fan. The gameplay is stylus only as you lead your group of up to 10 Kirbys through the level, but it's incredibly easy to learn how to play. The game has tons of unlockable goodies and minigames, including an incredibly addictive game similar to Kirby Pinball on the old Gameboy. The music is fun, the characters are cute, and, well, it's Kirby! You either love him or you don't. If you love him, you owe it to yourself to get this one.… Expand
Jan 10, 2012Ever since I played Kirby's Return to Dreamland on the Wii, handheld traditional Kirby games just didn't seem up to par with me so I decided to try out Kirby's more unique experiences and since Mass Attack was the latest entry and as far as I know, received raving reviews, I gave it a shot and I'm super happy I did. I typically don't care for touch screen exclusive games, but Kirby's Mass Attack does it in a very fun way that's similar to Pikmin and Little King's Story. The visuals are cute and colorful and the sound/music is great. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm having loads of fun playing it.… Expand
Mar 21, 2012this game is kirby mass effectivly good.....ten kirbys theres nothing wrong with that fact to began with......i like this game a lot the mini games are also a thrill to........for some odd reason i still like this game even though my friend cramed my game down my throat...not litteraly figurativly...either ways this game has plenty to offer...sadly though this game is not perfect....this game has no wi fi or download play.......also this game ends way to quickly.....i mean litteraly i knocked every single level and got every single rainbow medal in no more then a week and a half.....the only reason this game doesnt have an eight is because of these problem is because the game is really awesome.........overall i find this game great....… Expand
Oct 5, 2011The introductory of Kirby and the games started for me back in 1992 from playing Kirby's Dream Land on the Game Boy. The premise of this game was simple and yet held fun and enjoyment. Kirby's traditional ability is to inhale enemies and exhale them out and often gain a form in doing so. The Kirby games as a whole has always been about Kirby's form, level design, music, and a light hearted theme which remains throughout the entire games. My second game was Kirby Super Star in 1996 and this game featured various minigames which offered different concepts. There's a certain charm of the Kirby games which make you appreciate not only the games, but effort and polish from the developers. Kirby Mass Attack continues the light hearted theme and feel and yet, the inhale ability is excluded. The story sets up Kirby exploring in the Popopo Islands, in the south of Popstar when suddenly an evil wizard by the name of Necrodius wants to cover the light in darkness along with his skull gang. Necrodius casts a spell on Kirby which splits him into ten pieces, Kirby's heart motivates and encourages him to set forth into defeating Necrodius so he can regain his original size. This game uses the stylus for Kirby's actions and utilizes it quite well. Kirby's tremendous strength actually derives from the many Kirby's you gather, a strength by numbers aspect. More Kirby's you have, the more efficient he is with plumbing enemies, attaching himself to vines, movement and the like. Speaking of movement, the stylus is used to control Kirby and makes use of the touch screen. Kirby's actions include the following: Walking - By touching the touch screen, a star appears in which Kirby(s) follow. Running - By tapping twice on the star. Moving as a whole - Touch and hold the stylus to the touch screen and the Kirby(s) will hold the star, draw a path for the Kirby(s) to follow. Jumping - Flick the stylus on the touch screen. Attacking - Simply touch the enemy and the Kirby(s) will commence the attack. While gone is the inhale/exhale ability and the forms, this game's key aspect is attacking an enemy using the multiple Kirby's. Having this be a Kirby game, expect secrets of obtaining items and doing various stuff within a stage to unlock. Throughout and scattered on each level are medals which unlock minigames and a checklist if you do certain things in a level. The minigames unlocked are good fun and one of my favourites is Kirby Brawlball, a pinball game. This game is fun and what was interesting and an unexpected surprise was seeing Heavy Lobster from Kirby's Super Star and the anime. Familiar characters of old and new ones are present in both the story mode and minigames which was a nice touch. Music is a strong feature as with from the other Kirby games. What's great is the fact this game features new music and previous game's music in either a remix or taken from. The title screen's music is easily memorable all while able to set a peaceful theme. Music from the levels fit and are executed well, no music feels awkward or out of place. In the Extra's section, there is even a Music Player to play the various music. When you complete a stage, a star appears in the bronze, silver, or gold format. Bronze being a Kirby or Kirby's is missing/gone, Silver being no gone or missing Kirby's (Blue Kirby's represent damage) and Gold being no damage done. Essentially the Gold star is the best rating of completion of level, but nothing occurs if obtained Silver or Bronze. This game definitely is worth the money and the amount of gameplay and content has an unprecedented playability factor. Kirby in 2011 is starting with good exceptions and I'm anxious for Kirby's 2011 Wii game, Kirby Returns to Dreamland.… Expand
Oct 14, 2011I said before that Kirby & The Amazing Mirror was the best Kirby handheld, but that changed with Kirby Mass Attack. The ingenious puzzles are fun to solve, and the sharp graphics are nice. The best thing about this game is its challenge (your BOUND to die at least ONCE in this game) and the unlockable Extras. Ranging from vertical-scrolling shooter Strato Patrol EOS to the pinball-esque Kirby Brawlball, the Extras could be made into seperate games in their own right. This title is not to be missed.… Expand
Sep 29, 2011Cute, Frantic and fast, Mass attack is not a regular Kirby game, but more a Pikminesque Kirby where survival of all 10 Kirby is needed. The music is great, the setting is great and the levels are original and different.
Feb 3, 2012First things first, I absolutely love Kirby games, I have enjoyed every one I've played. And this is no exception. Kirby has had odd games in the past, Power Paintbrush, Epic Yarn and now this. But this is my favorite one yet, it's difficulty is perfect, which is odd in a Kirby game as they are usually relatively easy (especially Mouse Attack and Epic Yarn), the graphics are lovely, the story is decent, the music is rather charming (although possibly one of my least favorite soundtracks for a Kirby game) and the gameplay is so unique and perfectly well executed it makes one sad that games like this won't be made again. It's a showcase for how brilliant the DS was and how good it can still be (although I wish this came out before the 3DS). I haven't given it a 10 because, the controls can take a while to get used to and some of the levels are a little samey. I really can't recommend this game enough,or really show how great it is. If I could give the game a 9.5/10, I would.… Expand
Jan 3, 2012I have always loved the Kirby games produced by Nintendo, they are very cool. All of their characters are extremely funny and there can't be anyone who says that they are not cute. The Kirby: Mass Attack has some new features that make it different from past Kirby games and it really has its own DS characteristics.

Feb 27, 2013This game is another Kirby game i dislike. Kirby Mass Attack was Boring and was a horrible game. No powerups and stupid story. i really think there are many other kirby games that are better
Nov 11, 2011You just might find it to be very addicting as you control up to 10 Kirbys to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. If you are a fan of Kirby then you should play this.
I honestly wasn't too interested in this game, since Return to Dream Land was coming so soon and looked like a much better Kirby game. Then I downloaded the demo from Nintendo Channel and absolutely loved. One of the very few games where touch controls are pretty much flawless. Absurdly creative and original, one of the best 2D platformers in ages. Plays nothing like a traditional Kirby game, and that's surprisingly not a bad thing.… Collapse
Nov 29, 2011Kirby fans, don't overlook this game because of Return to Dreamland or because you don't like the concept. I nearly made that mistake but decided to buy it and I'm really glad I did. In my opinion this is one of the best Kirby games since SuperStar. An evil magician shows up and splits Kirby into 10. You begin each world as one kirby and have to gather fruit to create more. Some items and levels can only be accessed if you have a certain number of kirbies so collecting fruit and getting your army of pink puffballs to 10 is always the first priority in a world. The control is actually a lot better than I thought it'd be. It's easy to guide all your kirbys to where you want them to be and only very occasionally (usually in the levels with water) will any get left behind. The graphics are really nice to look at and the music is some of the best the series has had. While there are only four worlds (five if you count the final boss's stage) each level has its own uniqpe gimmick so the gameplay never gets old. For example, in the Dedede resort world, there's a level where you're being chased by an ice dragon and another where you have to go through an abandoned pirate ship. In one world, a bonus level switch is abducted by aliens so you have to go through several levels in space to get it back. So there's plenty of stage variety. There are plenty of bosses and unlike kirby tradition, they rarely repeat. You'll be fighting a brand new boss after the majority of levels. Collecting medals will unlock minigames, and some of these are great fun. Like a vertical scrolling shooter where you have to take down bosses from Kirby's adventure on the NES. These minigames are filled with nods to other kirby media (even the anime) that long time fans will notice and smile at. Over all I give Mass attack a 9. It's very nearly perfect but those occasional moments where one kirby gets left behind and you have to try and get him back on track without making all the other kirbies follow him can get annoying.… Expand
May 14, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kirby games have always pleased me, their playful setting, cute designs, and awesome music. And Mass attack is no exception. Probably one of the best Kirby game out there; I've only played a handful so I don't know if my word is worth much. If you must know I played: Ultra superstar, crystal shards, and squeak squad. Anyways, this was overlooked in my eyes. Seeing how it's such a change from the normal Kirby formula. But it seems to have been seen as a good game by most players and critics. Okay now time to talk about the game. First of all, the music is some of the best I personally think in most games; again in my opinion, it's really catchy and is just perfect in how you can listen to it in the options. With perfect music it just compliments the visual style. The gameplay however is different, it's not anything drastic, but it can be a bit troubling. The variety in levels in the game are very clever, from surfing, and even driving a tank! I can safely say that any game with you controlling a tank with 10 Kirby's as ammunition gets a pass for me.… Expand
Apr 30, 2014Sub-games are totally worth the money, the story is OK, but its 5 minigames bring you an amazing challenge, hours of fun; cute graphics and also cute music!
Highly recommended to everyone, not only Kirby fans but all public!
Jun 14, 2014YES, YES, YES!! I am a Kirby lover (I have all the Kirby games) but this is in the top 3!! It's wonderful game play and cuteness add to it a lot. The amount of fun I had playing this game was... well, too much to tell you!! The amount of hardships your pink puff (or pink puffs) need to break through and the amount of brain thought needed to solve puzzles to complete the level! New interesting mini-bosses, mini-games that need to be actual Kirby games (Strato Patrol, Kirby Quest... etc.)!! I love it! I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH! Plus, it's super Kawaii!… Expand

Jan 17, 2012Nintendo gives you a very clever mixture of classic 2D-jump´n´run and Pikmin. Who could say no to such a combination?
Dec 22, 2011The selection is definitely more hit than miss, although there are a few stinkers.
Dec 16, 2011Its over-the-top cuteness can sometimes be out of place, but Kirby Mass Attack is surely a fun, addictive and immensely enjoyable game.

I'll be honest, I don't text, nor do I have a phone that can really perform that function. Before you judge I totally get the attraction, but it's not for me. However, when I came across a song that combines texting and Christmas, I knew it would be an instant success
