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.

Is there a way to check how accurately you've judged the cases so you can decided whether to be more harsh or forgiven on the cases?
Easiest way so far is keep count of the cases you do, and when you get the emaill stating how many you have been rewarded for go from there.

Broken record...
I hate to sound like one, but apparently it's needed since there are little to no support for the game at the moment.
Rubber-banding, Server not responding zoning and the all time favorite constant booting. Are we seeing an actual server improvement any time soon? Any and all attempts so far have been small patches on an wide open wound that just bleeding out.
I think it's ridicules with those impaired servers, you find it ok to throw up an event. Super great idea. Let's load up the servers even more, despite massive amount of people need support, not more crap items for their inventory.
I'm really disappointed. Even more than usual.
I just got off after grinding on the Risa Event for the past few hours... And not the slightest hint of lag or rubberbanding...
If you're having problems connecting to STO, you should ask your ISP why they can't maintain a quality connection to the STO servers...
In the UK here, had no issues yesterday or today, Only thing I saw was chat go down for a short time today. Sounds like your end.
Just to take your time from you.
No. It's not at my end. Did tracert and it yet again revealed problems at Cogento (or what ever it's called) and all the way up to the servers that almost timed out. It's fine from Europe up to the first Cogento server. So..
I can't believe people still sit around and moan here all day saying ''I had no issues''. Well, it's randomly hitting people. Some days it can be fine, other days, well not so fine.
Some people never get hit by this where others constantly get it. So get off and let other people come to words and be happy you aren't one of us.
Double posted...
And just to prove that my connection are fine-

Unfortunately, the Trace Route results isn't useful for detecting dropped packets on your connection as it only reports on inter-node latency. The Net Test results also isn't perfect, but at least can provide some clues if you are suffering from packet loss, as packet loss will effect your connection throughput...
For some funny reason the nettest provided are not working.
Only showing row 1 where 2 and 3 are missing.
On a private test I did to a server on the west coast showed minor package drops. Only 2-3 drops at the end.
I've at the same time asked my friend, working at my ISP, to look it over. He have been testing it and found nothing and that my connection are almost perfect. I can ask him if he got the results for me to show.
And yet again. The amount of complaints would suggest it's more than just bad user connections.

Czech It Out
... out to wander the old town by ourselves, revisiting many spots we had been on the walking tour, this time equipped with cameras. That evening it was time to do a pub crawl. The nightlife in Prague is said to be amazing, unfortunately I'm not in a position to comment. We chose a very poor pub crawl, with only 3 others attending, so it turned more into a few drinks with new friends, which meant it was still a good evening. We even got a small tour round the microbrewery ...
... poor waiters running around telling customers that they couldn't make their food anymore. I tried to ask for the bill, but was told "no, closed now". I tried to ask a second time but was ignored. It wasn't until I asked the waiter who'd served us on the street for the bill that I was finally able to pay. In short, I don't recommend that restaurant. Once the rain had cleared we made our way back towards the bike. Jess decided to stop at a cake place for what she ...
Day 5: Well, It's Hard to Find a Snappy Title...
... the Austro-Hungarian empire, Terezin Fortress was where Gavril Princip, the man who became infamous for beginning World War One by "setting off the Balkan powderkeg" when he assassinated Franz Ferdinand (lots of assassinations today -- but didn't seem right to make a snappy title out of it !), was actually held--today it is most well-known for the sad role it played during the Holocaust.
... for sushi so found a place on trip advisor with good reviews that said it was really good value for money. Turns out it didn't exist in the real world, or we couldn't find it at least. There was a bit of construction site right where the restaurant was supposed to be so might have been closed as part of that. Guess we'll never know, but 10 minutes of looking later we gave up and went into another sushi place that we found on the way.
We sat down and the guy brought ...

Tea making facilities but no tea or coffee - lucky I had taken a couple of tea bags from last breakfast. You just can't have it all.

The last thread on this board was posted 5 months ago. The last post on any thread was posted a full month ago - and that was one of mine.
I have returned here every day since then (bar twice when my broadband was down) and discovered nothing more. This is now a ghost board... and iVillage, for reasons best known to itself, simply allow it to remain.
Most who once posted here regularly will know that I have made strident efforts to encourage pro-circ parents to visit us and post their opinions. Most will also know that I have discussed at length my idea to persuade iVillage to allow the introduction of a new group reflecting the issues of circumcision among American families today when nearly half of its population has chosen to bring up their boys intact. Both views are very important to these families; both look for support. Some may wish to debate their inclination one way or the other.
I have yet to hear from iVillage, but I have not given up yet.
In the meantime I will continue to visit this board to look for a pro-circ poster willing to actually debate the subject of infant circumcision. I will go further and welcome any advocate of circumcision for adults also (in the light of some people's advocacy for global male circumcision after the African drive, which was supported financially by the USA).
I will return each day to note - on this thread - a response from anyone. But my count will continue until we receive something from any person with a genuine pro-circ standpoint. Tomorrow will be day 29. This is not some foolish game. I want to bring some life to this board, or let it die a peaceful death.
I intend to try using search engines - Google, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo! etc. with pertinent keywords that may direct a searcher to iVillage. I ask you to do the same if you think it's worthwhile.
|Mon, 01-02-2012 - 5:38pm
Hello Federico,
Yes there is clearly very little appetite for debate - born out by this board's demise. I'm hoping, by choosing a name carefully, that a new group in iVillage will generate daily posts equal to BabyCenter's Questioning Circumcision and Raising Intact Boys.
A Peaceful New Year to you!
|Mon, 01-09-2012 - 8:28pm
Hi Christopher,
I have not been as dedicated as you, and only check out this board every month or so. You should be commended for your vigilance.
I do believe the reason for lack of discussion is that there is really nothing to discuss. The pro-circ arguments have been debunked by many here, so what can they say? As far as I know there's really nothing new out there that might be considered "proof" that RIC is beneficial in any way. Of course, I don't try to find anything either :).
I'll be checking back in, maybe a little more often, hoping to find something to debate or add my two cents to.

Wendy, hi...
How good it feels not to be talking to myself for a change! Thank you. :smileysurprised:

Drivers who take the Blatnik Bridge as well as motorists who have been detoured from the Bong Bridge to the Blatnik Bridge need to know about sweeping project that has been scheduled for Monday, May 19 that will affect their commute.
The snowfall we received on Thursday begs the question: What is the latest recorded snowfall in the Northland? Similarly, when was the earliest recorded snowfall in our area?
The Duluth Public Library is presenting a free program on Healthy Eating On A Budget - Thursday, May 15 at 6:30 PM in the Green Room.

The Amsoil Center in Superior is the site of a special event to help kick off Operation K-9! Come out Thursday, June 5 from 4:40 til 8 for a fun afternoon of activities for the whole family as part of a focus-event for the Northland K-9 Foundation.
The Superior Police are asking for your help in locating a suspect. Daniel Jenda is wanted in connection with charges related to multiple incidents of forgery and fraudulent use of a credit card. Jenda is suspected of forging multiple checks at Superior businesses and fraudulently using a family members credit card for amounts that exceed $2500.
The Superior Police Department has issued a call to Twin Ports drivers to follow and abide by the posted detour routes for Highway 2 during the two-year Bong Bridge project. With most Duluth-bound vehicles now using the Blatnik Bridge until November, congestion is anticipated on city streets. Utilizing the proper detour route allows authorities to make changes and monitor traffic situations in a more streamlined fashion.
A lot of people scratched their heads yesterday over the logic of scheduling bridge repair on the Blatnik Bridge only two days after the Bong Bridge's westbound lanes closed as part of a two year project. The Blatnik Bridge was the posted detour for the vehicles that usually use the Bong Bridge. Traffic backed up considerably and major delays happened during the late morning and midday time period.

Oh no, another day in paradise
Elizabeth Heathcote forgets her middle-class conscience and revels in St Lucian luxury
Sunday 30 May 1999
"Are we there yet?" Nicola had spent the journey behind a magazine, fed- up because the drive was cutting into our beach time, but now she looked up, just in time to see the shacks. We both peered at them for a moment, and then at each other, and I went to open my mouth but she frowned. "We've got a week," she said. "No politics, no economics, nothing like that, all right?"
Nicola's my oldest friend but we live hundreds of miles apart, so once a year or so we go on holiday to catch up. Like an old couple we know what we like and that's an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, one of those places where you don't have to pay for anything and you never leave the compound. The very notion will strike terror into the heart of any "traveller" and it's true that "difference" and "culture" don't come into it - in fact that's exactly what you're avoiding - but believe me, after a long winter bent over a keyboard, there is little more relaxing than this.
An all-inclusive resort is a microcosm, a sanitised parallel universe where going abroad involves no stress because it involves no difficulty, where everyone's pleasant and speaks your language and whatever you desire will be yours. It's the adult version of getting locked in a sweet shop. And Nicola, as usual, is right - if you're going to do it and pay pounds 1,300 a week for the privilege, you may as well leave your middle-class conscience at the gate.
This year we'd chosen Le Sport, famed on the all-inclusive circuit for its health spa and wide array of sporting activities. As the gate came down behind us, our finely tuned antennae checked out the essentials - if you're going to be here 24 hours a day then it's crucial that these are in place - but we were soon reassured. This is the tick list: 1) Room/hotel buildings a delight, low rise, pretty, quiet. Pools (three), bars and other facilities promising. 2) Beach uncrowded, adequate number of sunbeds, has shade. Not too far from room or restaurant. 3) Location picturesque. Also remote, therefore away from hawkers and hasslers. 4) Food fantastic. Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, therefore eat-as-much-as-you-like. This is very good. Dinner is a la carte but not too formal. Light options available. A second restaurant serving fantastic Pacific rim food for twice-a-week dinner variation. 5) Classy fellow travellers. Too expensive for the prop-me- up-at-the-bar-until-I-swing-at-you-or-fall-over category of all-inclusive client.
The next morning, after a breakfast of fruit, pancakes, bacon, eggs and muffins, Nicola installed herself on a sunbed with a book and refused to budge until Wednesday. It fell to me to investigate. I started out with the board listing the day's activities: tennis, golf, cycling, fencing, archery, volleyball, table tennis, Caribbean dance, mountain walks, gym and all the usual classes, Tai Chi, aqua-aerobics, scuba-diving, wind- surfing, water-skiing, snorkelling, sailing - with free tuition available in everything. I returned exhausted to the beach where I drifted into a gentle snooze.
I was disturbed by movement on my left. A young man, one of the staff of "bodyguards" paid to see you through activities and make you generally happy, had placed a yellow flag by my side. I squinted up at him. "What's that for?" "Stick it in the sand if you want a drink," he said. "One of the waiters will come and serve you." I drifted off again, my life complete.
I was woken an hour later, this time by Nicola. We were due up at the Oasis, the monastic treatment centre, for the spa part of our holiday. I've not had a lot of experience of these things but Nicola has and she assured me that the treatments compared favourably with top-notch health farms in Britain. We were allocated our schedules for the week - one massage and one treatment per day, although you can request more, which you'll get free of charge. I staggered from a full-body Swedish massage into a seaweed wrap (where I was painted with seaweed then wrapped like a sausage in a thermal blanket to sweat out the toxins) while Nicola had a head and scalp massage and gruelling sea-salt rub-down, and in this way we worked up a healthy appetite for lunch. And so it went on.
Holiday friends are part of the all-inclusive experience and by day three we'd settled in with a gang: Chris and Lizzie in their forties from Bromley; Jack and Suzie in their fifties from New Jersey. We were united by shared interests (lying on the beach, eating lunch, that sort of thing) and we were almost perfectly representative of the client profile: evenly split between British and American, mostly couples, varied ages. This is typical for all-inclusives but, unusually, Le Sport attracts a lot of unescorted women who come on their own or with friends.
Neil, an American charmer with deep, liquid eyes, had stumbled across this fact and had become a regular there. Which would have been great entertainment for the ladies except, we discovered by chance, he was married with a family back home. Still he provided our entertainment - we got to watch him work his way shamelessly through the female population - until one night it was our turn. He'd chosen a bad moment - Nicola and I had skipped dinner to get drunk on free sea breezes, and sisterly solidarity was running high.
"Does your wife know what you're up to Neil?"
"Of course. We're soulmates, she knows everything about me."
"So you haven't told her then?"
"We're so close it's not possible that she doesn't know."
Yeah right.
Apart from Neil and the honeymooners and despite the number of young women and handsome bodyguards, sex didn't seem to be that high on anyone's agenda. The single thirtysomething women I chatted to were either taking a holiday from complicated romantic lives or just couldn't be bothered. I was, frankly, more interested in the food, but for the sake of this article I did a little research and ladies, if you're looking for a bit of romance, you're unlikely to be disappointed. And that's enough of that.
So the week wore on. There were dramas of course - one day we woke up and it was cloudy; another day Nicola got burnt and had to cover the appropriate parts to sunbathe through it, that sort of thing - but generally we just got fatter, smoother of skin and more relaxed.
The last day, as the gang sat down to dinner, there was melancholy in the air. Lizzie stared at her menu. "I just can't do it anymore," she said disconsolately. "I want a boiled egg." We all nodded. But had they enjoyed it? Had it been worth the money? "Definitely," said Chris, an all-inclusive veteran. "You could work up a bar bill of half the cost of this holiday in a week in a four-star hotel." Jack nodded knowingly. The activities and treatments had gone down well. "It gives you a focus," said Chris, who'd tried everything from the mountain walks to meditation. "It gives me a chance to read my book," said Lizzie. "I'm getting more dessert," said Nicola. The rest of us followed.
Virgin Atlantic direct to St Lucia from Gatwick. The flight takes nearly nine hours and costs from pounds 301, plus tax (tel: 01293 747747).
Le Sport is on the north-west tip of St Lucia, close to the tourist centre of Rodney Bay. Brochure price for a week through Tropical Places starts from pounds 1,299; two weeks from pounds 2,099 (tel: 01342 825123). The price includes flights and transfers, all meals, unlimited drinks including house wine and premium brand spirits, treatments in the spa (there are optional extras, such as reflexology, at an additional charge), plus all sporting activities listed in the feature. Nightly entertainment - some of it quite good - is included, but most of the action after dark takes place in the piano bar, which stays open until the last customer goes to bed. Excursions around the island are available at extra cost, and car hire is available.

My husband came across this product when I was pregnant with our second child who is now 15. He was sure someone stole his teacing material, since he was teaching Ortomolecular Medicine and was dreaming of a product that would fit what he taught. One month of Opti Natal (same product) did what many many other supliments didn't do throughout the first pregnancy and the beginning of the second. I continued taking the full dosage for another 6 years till I weaned my third child, and for the past 10 years (!) I still take it once in a while for maintenance. As a naturopath, I recommend it to any woman who is pregnant, preparing for pregnancy (especially after a history of miscarriages) or lactating. And for my Israeli clients, now that I found it through iherb it's much cheaper and more available than it ever was before!
Good choice for prenatals

This product is highly recommended by my doctor. I know that he has researched the supplements that he recommends, and I feel great about these vitamins. My only issue is taking 6 everyday...but a healthy baby is worth it!

I looked a long time to find these online. Used to buy them from my midwife, as "Opti-Natal" They're the same thing, and absolutely the best Prenatal around. Much better even than Rainbow Light, and much cheaper too. Thanks for an excellent product at an excellent price. Shipping was fast too!
Good stuff!

My midwife recommended these vitamins...so you know they have to be good. I have been taking them for 5 months now. They are a big pill, and you do have to take six of them a day. But they are so worth it. I have taken other prenatal vitamins with my other pregnancy, but these have so much more in them. I just know I am doing the very best that I can for my own body as well as my growing baby and then nursing to follow. By the way I am pregnant and nursing my 10 month old while using these vitamins.

- Summary: [Metacritic's 2007 PS3 Game of the Year] As Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's single player campaign unfolds, the player is introduced to new gameplay at every turn – one moment you are fast-roping from your Black Hawk helicopter after storming into the war zone with an armada of choppers, the next you are a sniper, under concealment, in a Ghillie suit miles behind enemy lines, the next you are engaging hostiles from an AC-130 gunship thousands of feet above the battlefield. Mixed with explosive action, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also delivers special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects. Infinity Ward deployed a dedicated team from the start to deliver a new level of depth to multiplayer. Building on the hit "Call of Duty 2" online experience, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's new multiplayer provides the community an addictive and accessible experience to gamers of all levels.

It's epic, very difficult at higher levels and offers stunning visuals. Online, the ranking system is just as, if not more addictive than Halo 3's, and custom classes and abilities add another layer to each match.
It marries technology with control and keeps giving for weeks if not months after you first pick up the controller. It delivers a powerful single-player experience and an almost impossibly tense, utterly addictive online component and when the two are brought together... well, you're looking at your Game of the Year right here.
The singleplayer campaign or the multiplayer options alone would make this essential. But the two together bode for months of enjoyment. [Dec 2007, p.119]
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is first and foremost an experience, an experience of real combat presented with the cinematic qualities of top Hollywood films.
Visually, kinetically and intuitively, however, Modern Warfare is relentlessly exciting and an overwhelming triumph. [Christmas 2007, p.88]
At its finest, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the pinnacle of the war genre, mixing cinematic flair with rock-solid gameplay, but when it reverts to type and simply throws waves of enemies in your direction, its symptomatic of a series that is bordering on stagnation. [Chrismas 2007, p.106]

Jan 21, 2011Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is quite a good game, it is a single player campaign but you can go online and join games with other people and play against them. The player goes through a lot of missions and there is quite a lot of killing involved in the game. You can unlock more levels but as you play your way through the game is gets harder and harder, also that you can unlock more weapons e.g. AK47, Rocket launcher, Sniper and many more. All the weapons have different types of use, for instant you can get the Rocket launcher in different types, heat seeker, target mover and a lot more. This game is quite addictive because the more you play the more you want to carry on, I think that this Modern Warfare 4 is better than all the other games, because one minuite your in a killing zone were your just about to loose your life and the next your in a battle field shooting somebody else. When you play on multiplayer you get a wide variety of weapons to choose from but if your playing on your own in campaign then you have to unlock the weapons one by one but its well worth the wait because then its fun killing your enemies. Overall I think that this game is good and most of the people that play this game will rate it ten out of ten. It will keep you busy for a long time!… Expand
F-TangIncApr 20, 2008This is the single greatest shooting game I've ever played, and I've played HALO so I can compare. The campaign is epic and the online is epic-er! Its just so insanely fun. And it has to have some of the best graphics I've ever seen. This game makes me glad I got the PS3 and not the XBox.… Expand
StefanJ.Oct 23, 2007Feel very nice to me. I loved it and felt like I was in the war. PS3 version is also better I heard, on many game sites...in terms of graphics.
Sep 6, 2010This highly addictive FPS has a fantastic single player campaign and a incredibly addictive multi-player keeping you glued to your gaming chairs for as long as you like. This game is well know for its single player and how great it is, so no surprises for me to give this game the full, 10/10.… Expand
MitchW.Feb 24, 2008Great shooter online group play can be hard to organize and some customizability of the characters would have been nice.
Dec 1, 2010I was terribly disappointed with this game. I heard how "Great" it was from mky friends so I had a massively high expectations of it. The single player is full of hollywood moments and is totally unbelievable. The part where all the Americans were killed by nuclear weapons was trash except for the graphics and felt over scripted and to me a waste of time. The single player has way to many glitches on the PS3 at least. At least once a guy saw me walked right over to me and then walked away as if nothing happened. Another problem is the near freeze of the game when you melee which is quite annoying. The weapons all do about the same damage except for sniper rifles and shotguns of which the shotguns are overpowered and over ranged. There are way to many hackers and cheaters on the multiplayer and the single player is way to short. Trust me skip this and get World at War instead. You will not be sorry.… Expand

I just wanted to thank you for your fast service in shipping my order, it was here within two days. I have also found that your prices are lower than most of the craft stores in and around my town, which I am also thankful for. I am disabled and money is short--every penny counts. So far you have had anything I've needed and shopping online is much better than driving around from store to store, looking for a parking place and waiting in line to fight the traffic back home. Thanks!!!

5 Ways To Declutter Your Home
If there's one thing you'll notice about the homes we feature in House & Home, everything has its place. From what's on the table to what's on the nightstand, everything stands out because it has the space to do so.
Even when they're not "minimalist," our featured homeowners let their furniture and accessories shine by avoiding clutter. So here are a few places you can pare back in your home this fall. (This blog post is brought to you by Just Junk.)
1. The Never-Used Gadget, The Multiple Mugs
The drawer with several melon-ballers. The cupboard of 'I Love NY' coffee mugs. As hard as it may seem, getting rid of these kitchen squatters helps in two ways. It not only saves space in your drawers and cupboards, it opens up the possibility of displaying the things you DO use with open shelving.
2. Keep, Donate, Dispose
It's hard to do, but get two huge bags and step in front of your bedroom closet. It's time to get rid of clothes. Basic rule of thumb: If you haven't worn it in a year, it's got to go. One of the bags is for donating, so anything in good condition can be given away. The other bag is for disposal, i.e. for that ripped shirt too far beyond repair.
3. Old Linens, Older Makeup
That red towel that's starting to fade into a light pink? Time to throw it out. Old, fraying and even unused bathroom towels take up a lot of space. And while you're in that closet, remember that makeup has an expiry, too. It's better to get rid of that lipstick you 'borrowed' from a friend years ago, rather than give it back.
4. It's An Office, Not A Repository
Even the most obscure appliance has an online manual, so there's no need to keep a physical one. Also, as impeccable as your university notes are, they're just taking up space! Think about it like your clothes: If you haven't read a piece of paper in more than a year, you can probably get rid of it. Also, recycle those old cameras and obsolete chargers. You'll find a cleaner office is a more efficient one.
5. Re-tooling
Finally, the rooms that hear "I'll just put this here for now" the most are the garage and the shed. From broken lawnmowers to bent screwdrivers, these spaces beg for a good cleanup. You'll not only realize what tools actually work (to fix up other parts of your home), you'll see creative new uses for the space, beyond the storage of old boxes.
When decluttering, professional junk removal companies like JUSTJUNK® can help you out. Just Junk's team will come to your home and take away all your clutter, and recycle, donate and dispose everything from appliances to furniture. You simply pay based on how much you want to get rid of. Visit justjunk.com today to see how they can help you get a clean, organized home. Just Junk serves cities across Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Alberta.

Stylish Grasscloth Wallpaper
Sometimes when decorating a room you need something more than just paint to update the walls. Patterned wallpaper adds interest to any space, but isn't the only solution for wall decor. Grasscloth wallpaper, made of woven grasses and reeds backed with paper, offers the perfect middle-ground between paint and patterned wallpaper. It brings colour, warmth and texture to a space without requiring you to commit to a wallpaper pattern.
WallsRepublic.com, an online store that serves customers in Canada and the U.S., features numerous grasscloth wall coverings that you can apply yourself. (This blog post is brought to you by Walls Republic.)
You might be more familiar with grasscloth wallpaper in neutral colours like the three above. Walls Republic's grasscloth wallpapers are made from natural, sustainable materials. Raw Charcoal Grass Cloth R 2016, Duo Sisal Coffee Grass Cloth R 1994, Duo Sisal Amber Grass Cloth R 1971.
My personal favourites include blue- and green-coloured grasscloth papers. To get the look of grasscloth wallpaper without committing to it from floor-to-ceiling, apply it only above a chair rail and paint below. Sisal Lavender Grass Cloth R 1993, Sisal Blue Grass Cloth R 1991, Sisal Baby Blue Grass Cloth R 2005, Sisal Army Green Grass Cloth R 1964.
You can also line the back of bookshelves with grasscloth wallpaper to give it a new, custom look and make your books and decorations stand out. Warm, bright tones like these yellows, oranges and yellow-greens are also available, and depending on the paper you choose, showcase more or less of the natural woven look. Rush Regular Orange Grass Cloth R 2001, Reed Yellow Grass Cloth R 1973, Sisal Tangelo Grass Cloth R 1975, Rush Grass Green Grass Cloth R 2003.
Check out wallsrepublic.com today to see the numerous grasscloth wallpaper choices available and other wall coverings. Walls Republic offers free samples and $10 shipping for all orders in Canada and the U.S.

Many people like the charm and character of older homes, but often they can be daunted by the amount of restoration they require, as well as the costs associated with maintaining them. Many of my clients at Philip Mitchell Design request "A New Old Home." Essentially a house that feels and looks authentic in style, design and finishing, but that functions more efficiently than a historic property, with minimal or no upkeep.
The suggestions below definitely conjure historical charm and character, whether you are restoring, renovating, building an addition, or constructing a new home from scratch.
1. Paint Colours
Using historic paint colours for both interiors and exteriors provides that depth and softness often associated with period buildings.
2. Plumbing Fixtures
By adding original or reproduction vintage style faucets, pedestals, tubs and water closets, you can recreate that classic heritage feeling from a bygone era.
3. Windows And Doors
Selecting a specific window and door style based on appropriate historical style, size, mullion profile and glass can add that character often found in older homes.
4. Hardware
Installing historically accurate reproduction or antique handles, knobs and latches in timeless finishes like natural un-lacquered brass, bronze and iron, can provide instant age to a project.
5. Roofing Materials
Choosing a composite cedar roofing product or standing metal seam roof (rendered in steel, aluminum or copper) can add that bit of history to a newly constructed home, while virtually remaining maintenance free for years.
6. Architectural Salvage
Introducing a unique salvaged architectural element, such as a vintage cabinet or an antique mantelpiece from a historic building, add character into a new space, and is eco friendly at the same time.
7. Lighting
Introducing a number of different types and sources (wall sconces, surface mount fixtures, pendants and picture lights) of antique-look lighting fixtures can add a charming ambiance to new space.

8 Ways to Bring Spring Home
Jacquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen and Style Me Pretty has been named one of Toronto Life's top 6 most inspiring home decor bloggers. She's always full of good ideas, and has an eye for gorgeous images so we couldn't wait to ask her tips for ushering in the new season with style.
After the dreadfully long winter we all experienced over the last few months, I'm beyond thrilled that Mother Nature has finally started to co-operate! Though every change of season tends to ignite that desire for a fresh start, this seems to ring particularly true when it comes to spring. And as the temperature increases, so too does my need to transform my home to prepare for the warm months ahead. Here are my personal favourite tips and tricks that truly help bring spring home:
Fresh Flowers
Spending a few dollars a week on fresh flowers (fresh tulips, a handful of gorgeous magnolia branches or a potted orchid) is incredibly effective. After a long, grey winter, it truly helps infuse a sense of life into your every day.
Deck Your Door
A little paint goes a long way! Greet your guests with a freshly painted, vibrant front door. Think poppy red, a bright shade of coral or a more subdued teal. Bonus: it increases curb appeal and is a welcome sight when you return home each evening.
Infuse New Scents
When it comes to your home, you need to consider all five senses. All too often the sense of smell falls by the wayside, but I stand by the fact that it's one of the most important! Save the masculine, woodsy scents for the cosy wintry months. Instead, consider lightly scented candles or incense like vanilla fig, Meyer lemon or cucumber.
Add Colour
Whether it's in the form of a new toss cushion, switching out some artwork (there are so many wonderful, inexpensive prints online) or a new coffee table book... Introducing a new hue into your decor regimen is a wonderful way to make a space feel fresh and new on a dime.
Think About Texture & Introduce Natural Materials
Tuck away those heavy fabrics for the cooler months ahead. We're talking heavy wool curtains, velvet toss cushions and that furry throw you love. Instead, introduce natural materials: cotton, linen and the like for a light, bright feel. Bonus: your winter decor will feel brand new when you bring it out again months down the line.
Put Up A Bird Feeder
We can't forget about our fellow feathered friends! Invite them to stay a while by hanging a simple bird feeder on your balcony or in your yard. Instant spring, I swear!
Start an Indoor Herb Garden
Not only does it smell amazing, much like the addition of fresh flowers, it instills a sense of life into your home. Bonus: it's crazy satisfying to be able to whip up a meal with the help of some of your home grown friends.
Dress Your Bed
Flannel bed sheets be gone! Switching them out for a cotton set may be a no-brainer, but it's something I look forward to all year. In addition, opting for a light quilt in lieu of your feathered duvet is intrinsically satisfying.
When it comes down to it, small details and simple touches are key. It's amazing how these simple changes can make your entire home feel brand new without having to spend a ton.

Serene Spaces
Every home needs a space dedicated to unwinding. No TV or computer screens, no work — just a simple retreat for relaxing.
Whether they're indoors or out, my favourite serene spaces incorporate lots of natural elements — think neutral colours, textured accents and plenty of sunlight.
Air Wick is embracing all things natural with their line of scented oil, including the new Lavender and Chamomile scent. Known individually for their relaxing properties, these scents combine for an easy way to bring serenity to an indoor space such as a bedroom, bathroom or living room. (This blog is sponsored by Air Wick.) Using natural essential oils, these scented oil plug-ins fill the room with a gentle, relaxing scent to help you unwind.
Here are a few of my favourite natural spaces dedicated to all things calm and cool:
The white-washed walls of this beach-inspired bedroom create a serene envelope for natural, textured accents to take centre stage. A neutral colour palette of white and straw keeps everything restful and gives the feel of a tranquil getaway.
This little desk is nestled between built-in cabinets and has natural sunlight flooding in — perfect for reading, writing or simply contemplating the day. Natural, bare floors and strong, open sightlines enhance this tranquil space.
In the spring and summer months, carry your decorating outside with these easy ideas. A small backyard at home or the cottage can be easily transformed into a vacation-like spot with a few simple ideas. A white tarpaulin is hung to create a cabana-like sitting area with an assortment of rattan furniture, Moroccan-inspired lanterns and a salvaged-wood coffee table. The best part? Everything is set on humble pea gravel, making this a simple and affordable getaway to create.
If you've got the budget to hire a landscape architect, a well-designed backyard oasis can help make the most of an afternoon in the shade. All-weather wicker, neutral cushions with a pop of green combine to create this calming backyard getaway.
No matter how busy you are, be sure to take some time to yourself to relax in your own nature-inspired getaway. Learn more about Air Wick on their website, and click here to try it for free. Plus, enter our Spring Entertaining Contest for a chance to win $500 plus a basket of Air Wick products!

Summer Bedding Ideas
Although it doesn't quite feel like spring outside, it's never too early to start lightening up our homes for the warmer months. It's this time of year that I often pare back on all the wooly throws, and switch out an area rug or two for a summer-appropriate sisal.
I also like to change up my bedding for spring. Heavy duvet covers, blankets, and extra accent pillows just seem in the way on humid summer night, so getting back to simple essentials is a must. Here are a few great spring and summer bedding items that I have my eye on.
I love the vintage look of this duvet cover through Jayson Home. It has enough pattern to add interest, but it's subtle enough to be layered with other colours and textures. This duvet cover would look great folded back at the bottom of a bed.
I love the rich navy blue colour and the subtle stitch detail of Serena & Lily's matelassé coverlet. It would look amazing covering the majority of the bed.
Linen shams and sheets are summer essentials. Their lightweight feel and causal rumpled look pairs well with the laissez-faire attitude of summer bed making.
There's something about an artisanal block print that just screams summer to me, and this Kabora pillow by John Robshaw is pretty much perfect. Navy and orange are a hot and very summer-appropriate colour combo, add a hit to update your neutral linens.

5 Favourite Coffee Tables
It's on. The hunt for the perfect coffee table for our new condominium has commenced. I'm also searching for one for a friend, and just yesterday I had two conversations about coffee tables with H&H colleagues who are also in the market. What is it with coffee tables? There are so many available, and yet when you search for one you can never seem to find exactly the right one. I'm happy to report that this time I'm finding lots to love. In case you are hunting for one too, here are my current faves.
1. Florence Knoll Coffee Table
First up is this classic from 1961, designed by Florence Knoll (shown here and also in the room above). This embodies my idea of great design – it's just enough and not too much. The real McCoy comes in many different sizes and with options for glass, marble, wood or granite top. The base is satin chrome. It starts at about $1,000, which to me seems a fair price for design genius. That said, there are interpretations of this at many different price points. I'm thinking up a custom version with an antiqued brass base and a top in a marble with warm veining like Calacatta. Starting at $1,000, Florence Knoll.
2. Bel-Air
This lovely thing has some obvious mid-century leanings and is of a genre I call the surfboard coffee table, for obvious reasons. I visited this recently in store and really fell for the beautifully grained shesham wood top. And it may be hard to tell from this photo, but the base is actually antiqued brass. Quite fantastic. I love an oval for the ease of traffic flow around it. $899, Crate & Barrel.
3. Burnt Brass
And speaking of brass, this monolith has a touch more glint than the base of the Bel-Air but still has a wonderful aged look. This table is so sexy — I think you need a DVF wrap dress or a Halston dress and strappy sandals to go with. $1,622, Black Rooster Décor.
4. Faux Shagreen Waterfall
This piece calls to mind the designs of the great Jean-Michel Frank, who is known for simple table shapes wrapped in luxurious materials like goatskin, parchment and shagreen. This version features faux shagreen mixed with honey oak trim. To be honest, I'm not nuts about the honey oak, but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to tape off the shagreen parts and cover the oak with a high gloss paint in a colour to match the shagreen or even gold or silver leaf. Boom! $965, Black Rooster Décor.
5. Lack
I'm a big fan of this table. I think it's perfectly excellent and simple and super affordable just the way it is. However, if you are so inclined, it is also the perfect blank canvas for your creative energies. Just Google "Ikea Lack coffee table hack" and you'll find links to a million methods of reinvention. On my to do list is to cover one in faux shagreen wallpaper. From $25, Ikea.

Condo Bedroom Makeover With Paint
When faced with my latest makeover — a small condo bedroom — I knew I needed to design a feature wall with lots of interest, but that wouldn't be too busy visually. Here's a before shot of bedroom:
I'd found my inspiration on Pinterest: a gritty but subtle ombré effect that could be recreated with paint.
Paint was going to play a major part in this transformation, so I had to pick the perfect colours. I picked three consecutive shades of blue from the Beauti-Tone deck: Ocean Crest (C9-7-0502-0) as the base colour, and Water Droplet (C9-7-0503-0) and Indian Tears (C9-7-0504-0) to layer over top. I chose a matte finish to mimic the look seen in the inspiration image.
The first step in this transformation was to get rid of the dark beige walls. A fresh coat of primer and the room was brighter already!
I then applied two coats of the palest blue all over the room. I used the same colour for the trim, but used Beauti-Tone's Door & Trim paint instead.
On a side note, have you noticed that I used painter's tape along a popcorn ceiling? Frog Tape actually worked along the uneven surface! I was quite happy about that.
The prep work before starting the effect was crucial: I sealed the baseboards with painter's tape and placed a thick drop sheet on the floor because I knew it was going to get messy.
To create the paint effect, I used a masonry brush (for its width and natural bristles). I mixed the medium blue paint (Water Droplet) with equal parts water which gave me a runny, watercolour-type consistency.
I applied it in an upwards motion until it gradually faded.
Once dry, I used the same technique with the darkest blue (Indian Tears), and kept my brushstrokes to the lower half of the wall, letting the medium blue peek through the top.
I was quite pleased with the final look. I could definitely see the brushstrokes and variations in colour, but it wasn't too flashy or distracting for a bedroom.
Creating a feature wall with paint was an easy way to add a bit of personality to an otherwise basic room!

We are nearing the finish of our Belgian-Inspired Budget Basement but have encountered this thorny issue. Which colour should I paint our maple bookcases?
I have wallpapered the back in an ocelot print to disguise the tired Masonite, but the wood doesn't suit the new grey palette or the wallpaper. Which shade do you think works best?
I painted a sample board and propped it up near the fireplace, which was one of the starting points for the palette. That's Mole's Breath on the left, and Dove Tale on right, both by the venerable Farrow & Ball.
If you had to choose, would it be the darker and more dramatic shade shown on top or the lighter one which changes considerably depending on the light.
Let me know because I can't wait to show you the results!

Get The Look: The Grand Budapest Hotel
Wes Anderson tends to divide people; you either love his films or you hate them. I fall in the love camp, primarily because of his meticulous set detail. If you want to step into that world, I gathered some products inspired by his latest release, The Grand Budapest Hotel. As usual, I was blown away by the world created by Anderson and his Oscar-nominated art director, Adam Stockhausen.
Stockhausen has said that he and Anderson looked to archival photochroms (colourized black-and-white photographs) from Eastern European hotels and buildings to get this colour-scheme. (If you're looking to add a touch of Anderson aesthetic to your home but aren't prepared to go all out, this type of photograph can be found at almost any antique or vintage store that sells ephemera. I picked up some vintage photochrom postcards of Versailles from a Toronto shop a few summers ago).
"The construction of the sets and the design of the sets, even if it's on location — this is all carefully planned," Anderson told NPR. There's always a very specific colour palette in Anderson films; The Darjeeling Limited had light blue, red, teal, orange and golden yellow; whereas Rushmore featured dark greens, burnt orange, beige and royal blue. The Grand Budapest Hotel follows this with olive green, baby blue, Cartier red, carnation pink, pale yellow and dark purple.
The hotel's dining room features a huge mural of mountains and rolling hills that has all of these tints. Murals are very on trend and can be found at a variety of price points. If you have a blockbuster budget, try de Gournay for gorgeous prints that harken back to Regency England. The above image, from Surface View and sourced from the British National Gallery, is a great inbetween example. Surface View allows for a bit of customization: you can search their catalogue and isolate parts of an image that you want for your walls. Anthropologie also sells murals but at a much lower cost (a bit better for a renter, like me).
Moving between three eras but primarily set in two, the 1960s and the 1930s, Anderson used an abandoned German department store from the 1910s as the hotel's interior. The '60s saw more of the olive from the palette, and the yellow was used in marbled walls and the shade of wood used in the era's popular paneling.
The Art Nouveau (Jugendstil in Germany) styling of the department store was given a more brutalist look that would have been found throughout Eastern Europe in the Post-War period. If you're drawn to the mid-century style furniture, try a DWR chair in a bold shade or a colour-blocked rug.
The hotel's heyday in the '30s begins with various vignettes that show off the interior and exterior based on the colours in the old photochroms. The lobby's high ceilings, intricate stairs and large chandeliers (Restoration Hardware has one that could be pulled right out of pre-war Europe) are set off by the pale yellow and carnation pink; giving the room the luxe feel typical of grand hotels of that era.
The Cartier-red used for the elevator's lacquered walls and the concierge desk convey complete opulence.
Stockhausen said that it took nine coats of the vermillion to get the look in each space, but painting out some shelving, or even a door with Farrow & Ball's Rectory Red would add a shot of Anderson's bold vision into your space.
Scenes set away from the hotel take place in a variety of locales, including the estate owned by Tilda Swinton's character. The mansion is dressed a bit like a hunting lodge: lots of wood, leather and animal heads.
What I really loved was the birch mural adorning the green walls. Cole & Son's famous Woods wallpaper, paired with a papier mâché deer sculpture or impala bust, conveys a (more humane) lodge vibe.
Although more subdued and simple than the hotel and Swindon's estate, main character Agatha's (Saoirse Ronan) bedroom is curtained off with the same yellows and pinks found in the '30s hotel lobby, and her bedspread pairs the olive and yellow shades of the '60s lobby.
I particularly like the rustic barnboard flooring and wrought iron bed frame. I've had my eye on Anthropologie's Cosette Bed, which has a similar whimsical sensibility as Agatha's, and pulls in the Art Nouveau look of the hotel's lobby and entrance. Throw an HBC Millenium Stripe blanket or a Macausland throw on top and you've got a similar vibe.
The movie sets' extensive detail and saturated colour palette may be more fantastical than real, but sometimes it's nice to step into a highly-stylized space (and maybe borrow a few ideas for the real world).
See our photo gallery for more inspirational movie sets.
