[every child you see in this video is either hiv positive or has aids]
before entering this classroom my mind had conjured up images of the desperation and sadness i would see. however, i learned more about beauty and joy from these children than i have from most of my life's experiences.
it is difficult for me to fully explain the experience of meeting those kids. in fact, any words i could say or any video i could make would only be a cheap imitation.
so, i will leave you with a quote that explains what i am trying to say in much more depth than i ever could (although this is a "mystery" that is not possible to FULLY comprehend)
"I do not want ever to be indifferent to the joys and beauties of this life. For through these, as through pain, we are enabled to see purpose in randomness, pattern in chaos. We do not have to understand in order to believe that behind the mystery and the fascination, there is love."

I was happy to see that Rand is getting mainstream attention, however I am truly disgusted by the comments I read on any mainstream media site. If those are representations of the thoughts of some of those in America, it is frightening. This was not an attempt at a publicity stunt, nor was it an attempt to prove his obedience to his party. It reminds me of the yahoo comments section when Ron was running, sounds funny but I could've sworn some commenters who made literally thousands of negative comments were on a payroll.

Sep 2, 2012This game is absolutely incredible. The story is short but very interesting, while the game play is fun and smooth. The levels of the game after you pass the first 2 becomes extremely difficult and can take pretty long to finish. The thing i love the most is the checkpoint system ( even if most times I want to rage quit because i put it in bad places ) and the unlock-ables. One of the best games I played this year.… Expand
Sep 25, 2012yup a great game , it looks nice and plays well , maybe a bit difficult but that is the point , i really urge anyone with interest in 2d platforms and a taste in the occult to try it , and also the game is cheap and i love supporting these kind of developers , love the game , love the art and the execution , a spot on game that i am so happy to have in my collection , i only wish to see more and even a PSN version , great job guys , hope many people appreciate this game so i will do my best to tell all my friends about it!… Expand
Dec 5, 2012well, i do have to admit the fact that only can be played with the 360 controller sucks, but, what the hek, i mean, its a super game, and since i started i loved it, the story(currently in chapter or lvl 2 xd) the effects, all
and since im not a control fan, i would totally recommend it
Jun 21, 2014It's difficult but interesting as well. Challenging because of the low health you receive and hard-to-unlock achievements. No glitches or issues. Definitely worth buying though if you like 8-bit games.
Jun 24, 2014I can't find a single reason why this game has 7.4 of average score and Super Meat Boy has more than 9.
The game is simply awesome, frustrating, but the experience of completing a level to a 100% is so satisfying that makes you wanna play it over and over again.
Dec 24, 2012I am using a newish logitech controller which has *x-input* which is apparently for newer games and am having no troubles with compatibility. Older controllers with only *direct input* need to go through some rigmarole to make their controllers work. Awesome game.
Sep 3, 2012They Bleed Pixels is a awesome game, driving you to madness, but satisfying as hell. The controls are pretty much one of the most slick and very easy-to-learn-difficult-to-master, because the game with it's amazing in depth combat avoids by anyways button mashing. The story is pretty much cool, i liked the H.P Lovecraft look that it has of it, the pixel art in here is great, the animations are top notch and cut-scenes are atmospheric and the use of backgrounds are beautiful and points out the theme that the level is supposed to have highlighted
To players, this might be one of the most difficult platformers of the 2012, that everyone relates to Super Meat Boy as an example of it. Sometimes it can be unfair but avoids it with Save Sigils, that is a system of checkpoints for you to place anywhere you want by killing enemies with fancy, beautiful, bloody combos. Or by picking up Blood Drops that recharge your Sigil Meter.
This is one of the examples of how indie developers can make great, polished games. A must buy!… Expand
Sep 6, 2012Amazingly well done game, together with great controls, music, and art. I love the inclusion of the guest art in the Steam release and guest levels to keep things good. The fluid animations and fast paced gameplay keep it a very exciting experience as well as the quick ramping up of difficulty after the prologue. I find that no matter how frustrated I get at dying I keep at it knowing that if I do it properly I can beat it. With many collectables and points to gain, along with the time record it's easy to keep going back to old levels and try to get better giving this an easy re-playability recommendation to it. With the ability to create checkpoints ANYWHERE you need them so long as your sigil meter is full, it really eliminates going back to annoying parts when you die most times like we had to in games like Castlevania or the beginning of the level like Meat Boy. It's the best $10 you'll spend on steam, in my opinion. I have a few cons about the game, however. The basic enemies of the game, those weird hunched over guys, seem a little overdone. The addition of a few different enemies could have been done as well as a change to the platforms rather than leaving them just black. It seems like it could be changed.

Sep 11, 2013TPB is not revolutionary, it looks a lot like Super Meat Boy, but it adds enemies and small puzzles, whereas SMB is all about jumping and reflexes.
It's not as difficult as it appears, but you will need to spend a few hours practicing double jumps, balancing on icy platforms, dodging attacks and maybe restart a few levels, because your checkpoints ended up in the wrong place.
The learning curve is very steep, but if you persevere and become better, you will finally start enjoying the game.
The music is brilliant, bleak and moody, and fits the game atmosphere very well.… Expand
Sep 25, 2012They Bleed Pixels is a 2D puzzle/platform game on Steam. It was released on the 29th of August. Why did it take me so long to post a review, you ask? Lets just say I like to finish games before I write about them. I pushed and pushed my way through this game and still haven't finished it. It is insanely hard and insanely frustrating and insanely fun.
The premise is simple enough. You play as a young girl who has gotten a hold of a book that turns her dreams into Eldritch horrors. Her hands turn into Wolverine-like claws that allow her to slice and dice her way through enemies as she jumps, slides and climbs her way through puzzles and platforms.
Neither the premise or gameplay are unique. However, it all comes together for a rather engaging experience. The two button control scheme is simple enough to allow anyone to pick it up, but still allows for some complex abilities and moves. The combos are visceral and satisfying. The only knock is that sometimes the controls are slightly unresponsive, especially when doing timing based jumping sequences. I would repeatedly die while jumping over spike-filled chasms because the analog stick wasn't as precise as I needed it to be. The game recommends an X-Box controller and I couldn't agree more. Playing this without some sort of analog stick would be a total nightmare.
By the way, this game is hard. Be prepared to get extremely angry at your computer. The good news is that besides the occasional hiccup in the controls, the majority of deaths are the players fault. Many times I would die because I couldn't make a jump and then proceed to try to make that jump 20 more times, spraying my pixeled blood everywhere.
The graphics are in a classic pixel style that a lot of indie games have been employing lately. The short cutscenes between levels add some nice plot elements to the game and are really well done. The copious amounts of pixelated blood adds a lot of color to the sometimes dreary backgrounds.The main character is adorable in a kind of horrifying way.
The music is adequate, even though it can get repetitive at times. I did like how it would fade out as I lost more life, as this adds even more tension to the already frenetic pace of the game.
The length of game makes it a very nice value at 10 bucks. It uses a ranking system with achievements to add some re-playability to the levels. Each level also contains difficult to reach collectibles. My only complaint on this front is that sometimes the levels feel a little longer than they should be. Granted, you can start the game at your last checkpoint, but finishing up a level before quitting a playthrough feels much more natural.
If you are looking for a challenging platform experience at a bargain price, this is the game for you. It has enough variety to keep it interesting. It is also an excellent game to play on your TV if you have an HDMI setup and Steam's "Big Picture" service.… Expand
Jul 2, 2013I didn't have very high expectations for They Bleed Pixels, but I was pleasantly surprised. The game features a gorgeous art style with a lot of beautiful backdrops. The combat system takes a little getting used to but is really satisfying once you learn how to implement all the different moves properly. There aren't a huge amount of enemy types but each require very different strategies to defeat. The platforming controls are slightly clunky I definitely recommend playing with a controller. All in all a short but sweet little action platformer that is worth picking up.… Expand
Jun 24, 2013They Bleed Pixels is a platforming/brawling game with beautiful pixel art set in a Lovecraft-esque nightmare realm. The game's platforming is brutal, and is generally much harder than the fighting. This game is also very deep, and it has many rewards for taking extra risks.
The control in this game is pretty tight, and that's a good thing, because the platforming is completely nuts. (Note: I played with arrow keys, and I had no problem controlling the character at all.) Even the game's first level is brutal. This is not a game to play to calm down, since it will frustrate you very quickly. Not even Super Meat Boy ramped the difficulty up this quickly. That said, the game does give you the opportunity to save at many points during the levels, and you will need all the help you can get. The fighting system is very fun and rewards style. It's a nice break from the platforming.
The graphics are beautiful. I never really noticed the sound because I was so focused on the game.
This game is not for kids, and it's not for the inexperienced player. If you're looking for the satisfaction for beating a tough level, this might be your game. I'd recommend Super Meat Boy over They Bleed Pixels, though. I think SMB was better designed overall. Either way, if this sounds like fun to you (you masochist), it will definitely be worth the $10.… Expand
Dec 26, 2012Nice art style, nice combat concept, and great music.
I docked it a few points due to the game attempting to be a "hardcore" platformer, but with lousy controls, and an awful attempt at physics. Jumping feels too lofty, and the character feels a bit too large for the level. The one attack button was a terrible idea, as you'll stumble over the attack controls for a long time, and when you start to get used to it, the game will be over.
This is definitely worth picking up for… Expand
Oct 13, 2013It's hard for me to give my opinion of this game, even after I've beaten it. I didn't know what to think at first, They Bleed Pixels seemed like another retro styled indie platformer not unlike Super Meat Boy. I asked my friend who already owned the game for his opinion and he claimed that it was a good game but difficult. I bought They Bleed Pixels the same day and started to play through it. It seemed pretty fun, the combat was a little awkward and unresponsive but other than that I liked it. The pixel art was nice, the music was great, and the levels did test you without seeming to difficult.......but then I got to level 2 and had come to realize what I had just gotten myself into. With every passing level the obstacles that I had to overcome became more and more unforgiving and I suffered many more deaths. The very last level took me almost an hour and half and 223 deaths to complete, no joke. This game will challenge you and if you are not prepared to buckle down and see it through all the way to the end, then you become another one of its victims. It's a darn shame because I feel like this could have been a fun game, it's so satisfying to rack up combos, beat the crap out of enemies, kicking them in to saws, spikes, and crushers and watching as their pixelated blood is thrown in all directions. But that wasn't enough to get me to look past the unmerciful difficulty. If you're the type of person who doesn't mind dying a lot then by all means, play this game. If not, stay away whatever you do. I'm not saying They Bleed Pixels is a bad game, but if you're not careful, it will rip you to shreds.… Expand
Feb 26, 2013This game was advertised to me as Super Meat Boy with combat. While the platforming controls are well tuned, the combat controls and waypoint system betray a divided design philosophy. While it is advertised that you can place your waypoint anywhere, I assume somewhere along the line players were accidentally placing their's in bad locations. Instead of revising the system, increasingly larger areas do not permit the user to place waypoints, devolving into there being no vast difference in where you place your waypoint in these safe zones. On top of that, as I progressed the game had more sections where it seemed impossible to progress without taking damage and you have to instead mitigate the damage you have control over.
As for the combat, maneuvers assume you are on stable ground, of which the game is generally lacking and being a platformer, you will spend a lot of time in the air. Frequently I encounter an enemy and have to backtrack to a location where it is suitable to fight them, the aforementioned safe zones. With a few more attack options (up attack in air, side attack when on a wall, etc.) the player could feel more in charge of their actions.
If the combat controls had meshed better with the area design, this could have been a much more desirable title. Separately, the enemy design, platforming controls, combat maneuvers and waypoint system are all intriguing. They just don't fit well together.… Expand
Nov 8, 2013A game that could have been great but suffers from 'Indie game with little content so made incredibly frustratingly hard to make the game longer.'
The environment is great and the pixel graphics set the tone very well. The combat system is entertaining and makes making combos a lot of fun. Unfortunately the game is severely let down by its controls. They are abysmal and the hero feels like they are perpetually walking on ice. And THEN you reach the compulsory 'slippy ice type' level and the game becomes and very very frustrating experience. Been stuck on this level for far too long and I'm not getting anywhere.
Simply put, I can not recommend this game as long as its difficulty/controls stay as they are. They Bleed Pixels is not fun, it is frustrating.… Expand
Oct 31, 2013Only play this game if you absolutely hate yourself. The controls are solid and really fun with responsive fighting and platforming combos between the double jumps and wall climbing. That is the only good things I have to say about it though. The solid base controls are ruined by absolutely horrid level mechanics.
The second half of level 2 is covered almost entirely with ice. What's wrong with that you say? Well this is not your normal ice. This ice is some kind of super material developed by NASA, like windshields that water just slides off of and can't stick to; except you're the water. You slide around like a speed boat the second you hit the stuff shooting off at the speed of light even if you have no momentum either way when you land. And then when you jump off of the ice your character INSTANTLY loses all momentum and goes straight up. Whoever programmed the ice physics for this game should be shot. Then whoever decided it would be a good idea to have an entire level of the dreadful stuff should be shot twice.
The level design does not get better from there sadly. Stay away unless you hate yourself and you love horrid controls.… Expand
Jul 21, 2013They Bleed Pixels is nothing but just another average indie platformer with "retro" graphics and short memory: in fact it can't remember it's a PC game and it keeps recommending to use an Xbox controller. Meh.
Oct 31, 2013Overall appealing visual style and soundtrack, but the gimmicks employed in the levels get repetitive and frustrating quickly. It controls very much like Super Meat Boy, but adding enemies slows down the gameplay a bit. If they refined the controls and improved the level design, it would have been perfect.
Nov 6, 2012The game itself is quite fun, the levels and platforming are well designed, and the enemies are nice to kill. My biggest problem with the game is the xbox360 controller compatibility only. It may seem like a small issue, but the game can only be properly played with a joystick, and having to resort to applications like JoyToKey to use another gamepad is ridiculous. On top of that, many jumps feel unresponsive, but I am unable to determine if it's because of the game or the fact that I have to use a program to be able to play with my Logitech gamepad, the point is that in a platformer as deadly as this one, controls should feel tight (as tight as they do in MegaMan for example). My final issue with this game is the fact that it has many abilities at your disposal yet you only use 2 buttons when you have 8 to choose from. "Holding X down" mechanics should only be used when you are short on buttons.… Expand
May 27, 2013Image playing super meat boy but with bad controls. There you go, not a lot more needs to be said really. Shame because I liked the music and the visual style.
Sep 22, 2012The game itself is pretty decent, but I'm reducing the score for having only compatability with 360 controllers. The game is meant to be played with a controller, for those of us that don't specifically have a 360 controller, it equates to a price of about forty bucks for a standard wired controller for a ten dollar game. I played through portions on keyboard due to compatability issues with the controller. It's ok, but it is not the same. The game itself treads the line between frustration and challenge. Most parts end up being interesting, fun, and challenging. There are points, however, where the game is unfair and the protagonist ill-equipped. Not bad, but not worth money unless perhaps you have a 360 controller… Expand
Oct 30, 2013The game was fun for a little bit but it quickly grew frustrating and presented an unfair challenge. The game grows repetitive after a little bit. If you want a challenging game I would recommend SMB over this any day. The controls are much tighter in SMB than this. Another thing, while it may be a small complaint, is that when you respawn there is a time period where the character is floating to the ground where you have no control and after failing over and over you just want to start up right away but you have to wait for that half-second. Promising premise, bad delivery.… Expand
Feb 12, 2013They Bleed Pixels arms the player with tight controls and a wonderful checkpoint system in a frustrating yet high challenging, dark-themed platformer that will put your skills to test.
Feb 6, 2013Super Meat Boy fans will relish the insane challenge, while the rest will have their temper and keyboards destroyed. [December 2012]
Nov 6, 2012Control can be an issue at times – the one button combat system relying on the distinction between taps and holds makes it easy to muddle attacks – but challenge seekers will find plenty to get stuck into, impaled on and cut to shreds in this macabre, frenetic onslaught.

I'm in the process of custom building a custom wall unit for my theater and a bit puzzled. For the center section surrounding the television I'd like to have a more built in look so that the only thing you see is the screen. I'd also like to have the front flush. The problem is that on the bottom of this set, there is a half cirular pc of trim that protrudes from the set. Is there anyway of safely removing this pc? From my observations, it looks like I may be out of luck. I appreciate any and all suggestions. The set is a Sony KP-57WV600.

Why Food Is Sometimes Better Than a Love Letter
Beyond a Bottle of Wine: 5 of My Favorite Hostess Gifts
I've been thinking a lot lately about hostess gifts and tokens of appreciation as we're in the final stretch of planning our wedding and trying to figure out what we'd like to do for favors. While casual dinner parties are obviously much different in scope than a wedding, it's gotten me thinking about what we bring with us when we go to visit friends and family — and how nice it is to break out of the 'bottle of wine routine.' While wine is often a safe bet and often very much appreciated, it can become a bit expected, and it's fun to shake things up a bit, too.

Option one is to use sugar, which is hard to dissolve and can result in a pile of sugar gunk at the bottom of your glass. Option two is using a store-bought coffee syrup, but those tend to be cloyingly sweet and flavored with junk.
The hidden third option is to make your own syrup at home. This simple caramel syrup isn't that hard and will give your coffee a beautiful rich flavor.
Looking For a Terrific Hostess Gift? Give a Produce Bouquet!
I am a firm believer in never showing up empty-handed to a get-together. I always try to bring a little something that says, "Thank you for having us — we like you." However, it's easy to get in a hostess gift slump, but here's a cute and simple idea that'll change up your gift-giving game: a produce bouquet!
3 Cookbooks That Make Wonderful Mother's Day Gifts

Even better, make her brunch from one of these three new cookbooks, and leave them behind as a gift for her.
Recipe: Raspberry-Coconut French Macarons
Recipes from The Kitchn
Most days are spent running around between work and errands, throwing dinner together at the last minute, and whipping up a quick one-bowl batter or treat if time allows. But some days are specifically reserved for baking projects, kitchen experiments, and fancy pastries. French macarons definitely fall into this category.
With Mother's Day just around the corner, these Raspberry-Coconut French Macarons are the perfect treats. Spend some quality time on them and then share with your loved ones.

it was a great view and very relaxing atmosphere
the front desk (( check in)) told me one thing about upgrade and at the end of the stay it way an other !!!!
Breakfast fool
Breakfast fool
I liked the brasa restaurant and pranzo restaurant I like the set up of the room and the comfortable bed like that there is everything in the hotel you don't have to leave from hotel much.
I didn't like dirty sheets Internet kept dropping and supervisor was rude to me .double charged my card and couldn't get a hold of billing to rectify it.
The location was good. Facilities good
The price for valet packing very expensive 35$ per day was too expensive they should tell you that before you park
Great layout of the room for four adults; wonderful view, close to everything: restaurants, Falls
We loved the room and view!!
Elevators from parking area not working that day, but we do understand it happens.
Our room had a terrible odor and they had to move us down 3 floors, lucky I paid for a top floor suite. So, they gave us a breakfast voucher, line for breakfast took 30+mins to 'check-in' where she told us it'll be another 30+mins. So, we went updtairs to the Myst rooftop restaurant and paid the extra money and waited another 20mins for a table and then got in another line and waited 20+mins to get an omelette. Location was great, close to everything but we will not be returning. Cheers!
Everything was first class except the heating system fan was a bit loud
Everything was great fast check in room was great. Real close to everything
No free wifi in the room only the lobby. Maybe just hide the cost of the wifi in the cost per night. There for 2 nights was bugged by cleaning lady after the first night maybe a sign for the door saying no service required
Good value when travelling during the week/off season. Rooms are very clean and not dated.
View of a casino instead of the falls. But I did know that when I booked the hotel. They should not have smoking floors.
The location is wonderful and very convenient. The hotel was very good. I have travelled for many years on business and stayed in a lot of hotels across the country. This property is excellent.
I did not like paying a Tourist Tax - highly object. Spent money and had meals in Niagara as well as stayed at the hotel. I had the remove the environmental fee as I disagree with that.
The View
Had a friend stay at the Embassy that same weekend, they payed less and got a bigger room as well as coupons and freebies.
Everything was perfect!!!
I liked everything besides the security staff being rude everything else was excellent.
Got a noise complaint but that wasn't the problem. The problem was how rude, authoritative, agressive, and unpleasant the security staff were. No pleases or thank yous. We got treated like children and I am not a child.
Enclosed walkway to casino.
Restaurant for breakfast too expensive.
Location and facilities
Dirty towels in bathtub, keycard door entrance temperamental, deep dust on lamp fitting at bedside. Finally the insincere apology from reception at check out, when we said about the dirty towels left in the room!
Brazilian restaurant was excellent. Room was lovely and extremely spacious. Great location.
The breakfast was a bit of a let down, expensive and poor quality.
View, Location
There was a false fire alarm one night around 3AM and we didn't even receive an explanation when we checked out unless I asked about it. I thought it would have been nice for maybe for them to reduce some of our hotel fees or give out a coupon or voucher for what had happened.....but nothing.
We liked the new look and the spacious bar
I love the location the fact I can get a smoking room if I request on and if something happens I dont like it is fixed right away.
No pets alowed. I have a small 5lb dog chihauaua same as Paris hilton herself has and I'm not aloud to bring him to a Hilton hotel. Little upsetting.
The location was excellent. Close to everything.
The view from the room assigned to us was horrible and the staff did not make any effort to give us a better room. The staff at check in was not friendly.
It was exactly what I was looking for. Panoramic views; quite. The room was gorgeous.
I didn't like the restaurant on the top floor. It was a great view of Niagara; the food was not good and over priced.
What i like most is the closeness to the falls
The hotel, its location, the restaurants at the hotel.
Breakfast was an extra. For the room's price, it should be included.

Negative: 0 out of 25
Overall, Squad Command is an excellent pickup for a strategy fan. You get a nice and difficult campaign to play through with a wide variety of weapons to rain destruction upon your enemies.
Its turn-based tactical squad battles are a pleasure to master, even if they tend to be a bit short and shallow.
It could and should achieve so much more - but frankly it achieves enough by making a specialist subject matter and a specialist genre as fun and accessible as it does.
Turn-based strategy played safe. It won't offend but won't astonish. [Jan 2008, p.76]
The gameplay had the potential to be really quite good, but its limitations – i.e. the interface – seem to be borne of the PSP's shortcomings, which rather defeats the purpose of this being a handheld game. The best feature of Squad Command we have found is the multiplayer.
So, if it wasn't for the frustrating camera, Squad Command would have been a recommended PSP purchase for all. As it is, it's only recommended for die-hard Warhammer fans and turn-based enthusiasts.
Warhammer fans: the ability to control classic Warhammer units may make this game more appealing to you, but anyone interested in the title should be extremely cautious before investing the time and money. The positive elements just barely outweigh the bad.

AdamD.Dec 4, 2007Great game. Plays like fallout, but with destructible terrain. Pros: Graphics, Interface,well designed maps, Mass destruction caused by plasma cannons. Cons: Short single player, Some guns feel over powered but don't negatively effect game play (you can clear a room with one shotgun blast), Camera controlls takes some dexterity to look over rubble (its turn based so theres no rush, no problem).… Collapse
KonMay 14, 2008this game wow-ed me on the first go, it carries the warhammer 40k universe pretty well and impressive accuracy, even better than the WH40K series on PC (which i have been playing since it's first release till now) i might say, but it's a pity that most of the missions are pretty straight forward kill-em-all runs. other than that, the voice-acting is average, nothing impressive can be expected from a hand-held console, but the cut scenes are excellent, probably the one of the best around in warhammer. It seems like a trail in this release to me with the apparently undeniable huge potential Squad Command has - more races, units, mission types, and maybe more depth down in it's gameplay.… Expand
JoshB.Dec 10, 2007A solid turn based strategy game that has a very X-Com feel to it though it is lacking the depth of it's predecessors in the genre. This game has two glaring problems that keep it from being a top ten game on the PSP. 1. Camera, it's fixed the whole time and after playing similar games with better camera options like Jeanne D'Arc there is no excuse that the system can't handle it. 2. Character growth. In this type of game, a solid RPG element can be added where you develop individual soldiers with different skill sets. This would add tremendously to the intense battles if you are worried about your favorite characters surviving. Instead we just get generic_military unit_101 here. Add those two things to a sequel and your going to have a game that gets a 9.5 instead of a 7. Despite these flaws, the game is still a solid purchase for a fan of Warhammer or the RTS genre.… Expand
TonyDec 6, 2007This game could have been great but instead it turned out average. I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40K and developers of Red Lynx had big boots to fill after the fantastic job from Relic on the Dawn of War series. Let's get one thing straight, this game isn't bad. But, it's not great either. The controls are poorly considered, and the A.I. should be re-classified as Artificial Stupidity after the number of times my own squad members decided to blow up half my squad on occasion. Then again, it's not all bad, as more often than not the enemy decides to do the same thing to themselves. The game lacks polish and gives the distinct impression of being rushed in order to get on the shelves before xmas. The cut scenes are nice, and it's obviously where most of your effort went unfortunately. Sorry, Red Lynx and THQ, but you get a big F for Fail in the eyes of Warhammer 40K fans everywhere.… Expand

Pros: Courteous staff
Cons: Room size and non availability of lift . Poor quality of food.
Location: Excellent location however 3 km from city
I was allotted room on third floor only to realize they do not have lift. I had booked room with extra bed , there was however hardly any space for extra bed . The hotel subsequently changed room with little more space. Breakfast and food taste/quality was horrible.

Not that greatPosted Jan 10, 2013
Pros: Old wooden decor
Cons: Smelly Bathroom
Location: Munnar is fabulous
I wouldn't return. The bathroom smelled really bad, although if I kept the door closed it was okay. Awful when I had to use it though. Actually, if you just need a cheap place with a comfortable bed it's fine, you aren't in Munnar to hang out in the hotel room. And they do have pretty decent food. The only other thing is that it's a little ways out of town. You need a taxi or rickshaw every time you want to go anywhere.

hillview munnarPosted Mar 26, 2012 on Hotels.com
We had to request an upgrade because our room was very shabby and musty. The whole hotel is a bit gloomy and in need of maintenance. Our more expensive room was more comfortable and had a fridge but it still had a damp, musty feeling. Our clothes carried this smell for days ad we had to relaunder them.Hot water was sporadic. On the plus side, the staff were very helpful and courteous. The food was very tasty and much better than the food we ate in town. This place could so easily be improved.

I had visited the hotel from 8 jan to 10 jan 2012. Hotel is good but cable TV programme even english news was not available for Hindi speaking people. Food was good and services were also ok.

Pro-Life Flash Mob Upstages Abortion Protest!
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by on Apr 6, 2011
On April 2, 2011, Chicago "pro-choicers" organized a protest against pro-life hero Joe Scheidler. After hearing about the planned protest against Mr. Scheidler, the young organizers of the famed February "Pro-Life Flash Mob" once again, took to the streets in what proved to be a poignant reunion for both sides of the issue. Joe Scheidler is surprised by a special red-carpet tribute by the Chicago "Life Mob", as he arrived for his Evening of Tribute, at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza. It also shows the pro-lifers encounter with abortion supporters in an intersection face-off. The youth greeted the virulent "pro-choicers" with joyous chants, music, and prayer.

- Nice Golf CourseFoodie1VIPDined on 10/4/2014Come for golf, or come for the sunset view, but don't come expecting great food or service. It's pretty much a bunch of kids working there and it is a golf course after all, so stick with more of the bar food and appetizers.Special Features:
- Dining on the Edge at the RidgeXavierVIPDined on 10/2/2014Even if you're not a golfer, your eyes will feast on the fabulous view. This establishment is well founded with a seventeen-year history. However, I didn't know it existed until I found it on Open Table! I loved the food as well as feeding my soul on the scenic surroundings. Can't miss with this awesome pairing!Special Features:
- Great viewsmckalVIPDined on 9/6/2014The best part about The Ridge by far are the amazing views that you get from sitting out on the patio. It's very scenic and relaxing and no matter how high your stress level is, it gets taken down by a few notches just sitting out there enjoying nature and the view. They do have a good happy hour where drinks are very reasonably priced and there are about five or six appetizers that are discounted. Happy hour is high recommended. Mojitos were good and fresh tasting and a version of a Moscow mule was a hit. The dinners are average I would say. There are choices such as a French dip sandwich, a chicken salad croissant, a few dinner sized salads, and entrees such as fish and chips, ribs, salmon and steak.Special Features:
- Hidden Gem!diningtimeVIPDined on 8/5/2014This is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. You can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views. Food is excellent and Dawn, our server, was cheerful, accommodating and attentive. It is a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:

Recently, our Preschoolers' field trip led us into the wonder of the Mordecai Children's Garden at the Denver Botanic Gardens. We could not have asked for a more pleasant day; the sky was blue, there was a slight breeze and plenty of sunshine! Perfect for our stream waders, cave dwellers, bouncy bridge crossers and courageous climbers!

Oakland wanted to retaliate for losing Palmer on illegal hit. Terry McCormick
Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said his defense was trying to knock Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton out of Sunday's game after the Panthers did the same to Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer.
"You take our guy out, we're going to take your guy out,'' Kelly told the Contra Costa Times. "We're not out to hurt someone, but when that happens ... ."
Greg Hardy took Palmer out of the game on a hit where he was penalized for roughing the passer.
There was one play where Kelly retaliated at Newton, who had kicked him in the pile. Kelly was penalized for unnecessary roughness.
"He kicked me, and I ain't fixing to take that off nobody," Kelly said. "What are you going to do when someone kicks you? You going to take it? Nah.''
Raiders coach Dennis Allen didn't sound impressed with that explanation, saying, ""We're trying to change the culture, and what we have to understand is we have to keep our composure in those types of situations because nothing good comes out of it."
