There is wide variation of family planning services use among ethnic groups in Nepal. Despite three decades of implementation the need for family planning services is substantially unmet (25%), and there have been no systematic studies evaluating the impact of the family planning program. This study pooled data from nationally representative surveys conducted in 1996, 2001, and 2006. Multilevel logistic regression analysis of 23,381 married women of reproductive age nested within 764 clusters indicated that Muslims, Janjatis, and Dalits were significantly less likely to use contraceptives than Brahmins and Chhetries (OR=0.27, 0.88 and 0.82 respectively). The odds of using contraceptives by the Newar were higher than the odds for Brahmins and Chhetries, although it was not significant. Exposure of women to family planning messages through health facilities, family planning workers, radio, and television increased the odds of using modern contraceptives. However, the impact of family planning information on contraceptive use varied according to ethnicity. We also found that modern contraceptive use varied significantly across the clusters, and the cluster-level indicators, such as mean age at marriage, mean household asset score, percentage of women with secondary education, and percentage of women working away from home, were important in explaining this.

CLAREMONT - City Council members have unanimously directed staff members to make an offer to Golden State Water Co. for its Claremont assets.
City Attorney Sonia R. Carvalho read a closed-session report at the council meeting on Tuesday.
"I am to announce this evening the City Council met to discuss making an offer under the government code to purchase the water system that serves the Claremont area," Carvalho said.
"The city's negotiator has been directed to make an offer for not less than the fair market value as determined by the appraisal that was approved by the City Council."
Carvalho said the council voted unanimously to proceed with making an offer to Golden State Water to purchase its system.
According to the city's website, officials will make an offer in writing and the amount will be made available to the public as soon as it is prepared and provided to the water company.
Mitch Zak, spokesman for Golden State Water, said his company has indicated to both customers and the city the system is not for sale.
"What's important to understand for the customer is the determining factor is not what the city's appraiser deems fair market value but what a jury determines is fair market value in an eminent domain proceeding," Zak said.
"And it's not fair market value by a jury, it's the highest price a willing buyer would pay for the system. That's the determining factor. It's curious the city would essentially obligate residents to hundreds of millions of dollars or a hundred million or who knows of higher water taxes without their approval."
Golden State Water has been fighting with customers in Claremont, Barstow, Apple Valley and other Southern California cities over rate hikes and profits made by the company's parent, San Dimas-based American States Water Co.
The privately owned water company attributed $300,000 in recent profits to rate increases approved on Jan. 1 by the state Public Utilities Commission for regions that include Claremont, Barstow, Wrightwood and Apple Valley.
A proposed settlement between Golden State Water, the state Division of Ratepayer Advocates and the Utility Reform Network, a utility customer advocacy group, in connection with a general rate water increase agreement, would mean Claremont's 11,000 customers and ratepayers in Region 3 would receive a 15.1 percent increase in rates in 2013. There would be an additional 2 percent increase in 2014 and a 1.8 percent increase in 2015.
Claremont officials and a group of residents called Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates have been pushing back against the water company about what they say are its high rates and lack of transparency, which the water company disputes.
Councilman Sam Pedroza said Wednesday that council members were limited on what they could say about the decision.
"All I can say is I'm very happy at this point," Pedroza said. "And I think our residents are very pleased as well."
When asked if there was a timeline for when Golden State Water would get an offer from the city, he said he did not know.

Amifostine (Ethyol®)
Pronounced: a-mi-FOS-teen
Classification: chemoprotectant/radioprotectant
About Amifostine (Ethyol®)
Amifostine is a type of drug called a chemoprotectant, cytoprotectant, or radioprotectant, which is used to prevent or lessen the damage to the kidneys caused by cisplatin (a chemotherapy) or damage to the salivary glands, resulting in dry mouth, caused by radiation therapy. Amifostine works by promoting the repair of damaged tissue and binding to harmful free radicals released by cells after exposure to cisplatin.
How to Take Amifostine
Amifostine is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over the course of a few minutes. The treatment is given 15-30 minutes before radiation or chemotherapy starts. Patients are given the infusion while lying down and their blood pressure is monitored. Patients may be asked to increase their fluid intake for 24 hours before the infusion. The actual dose a patient receives is based on his/her height and weight.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Amifostine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
This medication can cause a drop in your blood pressure (hypotension). Your blood pressure will be monitored by your healthcare team before and during treatment with this medication.
Cutaneous Reactions
This medication may cause cutaneous (skin) reactions including erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, toxoderma and exfoliative dermatitis. Report any skin changes, especially any rash involving the lips or mouth and lesions on the palms of hands, soles of the feet, or the front/back of abdomen to your healthcare team immediately.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium)
Amifostine can cause the level of calcium in your blood to decrease. Symptoms of low blood calcium include muscle spasms and/or twitching, a numbness or tingling of fingers, toes or around the mouth. If this occurs, your healthcare team may ask you to take calcium supplements (like Tums) to correct this problem.
Reproductive Concerns
Amifostine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects. It is also recommended that breast feeding be discontinued during treatment with this medication.

Discussion in 'Assets and Asset Store' started by reissgrant, Sep 6, 2010.
Beast Light Mapping won't work with vertex painted meshes?
I include a mobile shader that allows blending with BEAST lightmaps.
Hi Reissgrant, great tool! I was just curious before purchasing; is the vertex color data for editor/display purposes only? We'd like a tool like this for painting shadows on assets on mobile platforms. Generally, vertex color data is much cheaper than large lightmap textures, and the clarity is lost when dealing with big scenes and memory budgets. A tool like this would allow us to go through the level and paint the areas of shadow/radiosity instead of depending on beast or external lightmap textures.
Could you confirm that such a workflow can be accomplished using this? Again it's more along the lines that we would like to set the vertex color to something dark and shadow-like and paint along edges and intersections. I heard you make mention of performance on the devices, but is there anything else you've noticed with how this is handled? Off the top of my head there's no reason for this to run slower than a 1024x1024 lightmap texture when lighting a room, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Kovac, thanks for the interest!
The vertex painter modifies the vertex color outside of the editor as well. So, if you would like to paint the colors black for shadows, they will show up black at runtime (assuming you're using a vertex color shader that will display the actual vertex color). Any other questions please let me know!
Hi there,
First of all the tool is awsome, but we found a bug. If i click See vertex colors the mesh does not change. I am using unity 3.5
Kind regards,
awesome, how can i get this, cuese there's just one link in the first post and there when i click purchase with paypal i'm getting an error!
Hi !
A long time ago i've bought a version from your website, that was the only way to obtain it. Now i saw that you had it on the assetstore, how can i have the assetstore version now ?
Jernej, did you buy through the asset store or through the website? There is a fix for this with the latest release.
It's available on my website in my sig, or through Unity's Asset Store
I emailed all customers a download link with the latest and greatest version, so if you didn't receive it, email me from the paypal purchase email and I will send it out again
whenever I try to paint cloth physics weights, I just get a rectangle selection box, the tool says to hold CTRL or CMD to paint, doesn't seem to be working.
When you say "doesn't seem to be working" what do you mean exactly?
Do you get a circular graphic illustrating the tool is active?
Do you paint but no weights seem to be applied?
Is the object locked and ready to be painted?
I'm interested in Vertex Painter for a project that requires a terrain on iOS 3gs and up. I've used fixed function and shader vertex colors in other engines and desktop hardware in the past but not so much for mobile.
Without a demo I'm not sure what to expect performance wise. When blending three textures on a single terrain mesh, will the terrain mesh get drawn three times in hardware to get the blend result like old 90's desktop tech.
Since my client is paying very little for a freeware game it would be nice to determine whether your vertex painter is suitable or I'm better off cutting up the terrain and making UV's fit.
So any information about the mobile shaders and how they perform would be handy, thanks.
I, too, have the same problem as XRA. I'm on a Mac with the latest OS (Lion 10.7.3) and I have the latest Unity Pro Version 3.5.0f5. Here are two screenshots showing the hair I'm trying to paint but I just get a rectangle dragging underneath the rest of the stuff and no color changes to the vertices boxes.
Tysoe, Don, I will respond to these later tonight when I get back to my desktop and can troubleshoot. Thanks.
Tysoe, The 3 texture mobile blend shader will result in two draw calls and the 2 texture blend shader is only 1 draw call.
If you are not satisfied with the performance after purchase, PM me and ask for a refund and you will get one no questions asked.
A rough idea of performance can be found on the previous page, where someone tested the two texture and three texture blend. Unfortunately I do not have a 3gs to test on.
Don, are you using CTRL to paint? do not click and drag. Only press CTRL and drag, otherwise you will get the rectangle if you try to click and drag.
Aha! Or so I thought. I was clicking with the mouse instead of JUST holding Control or Command. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. So I played around with it for a while. No matter what settings and values I used the vertex painter did not visually appear to be affecting the vertices. The only thing I did notice was that the larger radius I used the more time it took for the 'paint' code to execute. This only occurred when holding control or command! So something is definitely processing data trying to sort through all of the vertices to paint, but they are not affecting the point or they are being reset or protected somehow.
To test their being affected I used Unity's cloth painting and was able to use select all and select none, and change values with visual color changes occurring with the boxes representing the vertices. I was also able to, point by point, touch and affect any vertex with their paintbrush tool; ugh, very painful. Here is a snapshot to show the lower section of hair having been painted point by point, the green boxes (green during play, yellow when not playing) are all values that are set to zero. I also tested running the game as seen in the picture below to test if the values were being affected but not correctly displayed by the boxes; again, the only points that move are the one's in blue that were hand touched with Unity's skinned cloth tool.
Thanks for jumping on this problem quickly Grant and I look forward to using this tool very soon!
I should also note that I am using the latest version of the Vertex Painter, (ver 1.1.3), and this is a fresh project only created a couple of days ago. The menu bar under 'Vertex Painter' only read 'Vertex Painter v.1' so perhaps that is an issue? or a bug?
I also tested using the normal vertex painting and that works great. I also tried using the cloth painter on a default unity skinned character that I added a cloth component to and it does not work (same results as the images above).
I can also send you this project as it is not anything huge. Just let me know where you'd like me to drop it.
Don please send me the project so I can troubleshoot.
A few things you can try in the meantime:
I have a skinnedcloth character in the demoscene. It is in : Assets/_vertexPainter/Demoscene/Models/skinnedClothTest.fbx
I just tested this by dragging it in the scene and it worked perfectly.
Try the same by adding a skinned cloth modifier, locking it and painting. Set the "max distance target value" to 0 and try to paint.
Another thing to test would be the sizing of your object. Create a cube primitive in Unity and it should be 1x or 2x the size of your skinned cloth object you are trying to paint. Often if the size of your object is too large or too small, it creates problems for the tool. This can be helped by simply resizing your skinned cloth object using the scale modifier. Size it down to the size of a primitive cube, paint it, then upsize it when you are finished painting.
I looked at your screenshot, and the play button is activated. Are you trying to paint while in play mode? You should only paint in Editor Mode when not playing the scene.
No dice, yet. I loaded up your 'vertexPainterDemoScene_Finished' which already has the skinned cloth character. When I view the boxes you can see they are multicolored. I tried to lock and paint but nothing would change. I also tried using the tool to clear all of the values to 0 and it still had multicolored boxes! Very odd. Whenever I would attempt to paint I would get 'Array index is out of range' errors. I also dragged in the model fresh and still no luck and even dragging it in fresh it showed multicolored boxes.
I also went back to my scene and put in a primitive cube and it's default size is the size of the head you see in the previous images. So the scale should be ideal for editing.
Note, I normally try painting in Edit mode but in the previous email pics I tried it in Play mode as well.
I have the project up on DropBox and just need an email for you to access it (or I can put it up in Google Docs which requires an email as well). PM me. (By the way, are you testing this on a Mac or PC?)
Don, PM sent with my email.
This is very strange behavior, and I have no clue what would cause this. I am testing on a PC, though Monday I can test on a Mac if it isn't resolved by then. I'll look forward to receiving your test file.
Thanks, that sounds pretty decent performance wise and as far as I am concerned vertex blending is a must have feature. Going to go buy it now.
@Don: Unity 3.5 has broken the skinned cloth functionality, so I will have to dig in the code to figure out what has changed in 3.5.
Until then, the skinned cloth painter will work with the previous version of Unity if you still have that installed. I'll let you know when I have a fix for this.
@Tysoe: Thanks!
Whats the difference between indie and commercial license?
They are ultimately the same, though I urge developers who are using it for large commercial projects to pay a little extra
Okay, I do have 3.4. Does the PC version of Unity 3.5 work with the cloth painting?
Thanks again, for looking at this, I look forward to a fix for the Mac!
The PC version has the same bug with 3.5.
I have just purchased Vertex Painter but have run into an issue with the shaders. I want my game to run on mobile devices so I select one of the mobile shaders but they just won't display correctly. The first shader seems to work 'mobile_Vertex_Blend_2tex' but the Unlit versions show up almost black. I have all the texture slots filled in.
There looks to be three, 3texture lightmap mobile shaders, 2 of which show up as a wireframe in the viewport and the third shows up really dark, but with some of the colours from the verts showing through.
Hope you can help
I've just purchased a professional license only to come across the 3.5 bug (exactly as Don is experiencing above) - is there any workaround?
Otherwise, could you share as much as you know about the existing problems so I might explore a solution?
@Don alleycatsphinx:
What I do know is that I was getting inconsistent results with the default painter while trying to nail down this problem.
Because of this, I have forwarded a bug report to Unity; but I'm still going to try and figure out a solution.
The problem is with the transform not being calculated correctly. In previous versions, the transform was fine, but in this new version they are doing something different with the skinned transforms, and I'm not sure what yet.
Can you please post a screenshot?
If you're using the 3 texture mobile blend (mobileVertexBlend_3tex ), use as follows:
Paint 0 alpha for texture 1
Paint 1 alpha for texture 2
Paint white color for texture 3 (r=1, g=1,b=1);
@Don / alleycatsphinx:
This is a screenshot of what I am talking about, this is the default skinned cloth painter in a brand new project with no plugins (without importing the vertex painter), and after applying a skinned cloth modifier.
This is the vertex representation that is shown, which is wrong.
Because of this, the transform cannot be calculated correctly for the vertex painter to paint the cloth weights. As soon as Unity fixes this, I can modify the vertex painter to work with it. I will release a patch when this happens.
Hi, Reissgrant! I just purchase your Vertex painter and have the trouble as Don. I need to paint weights for skinned cloth. Object is locked for painting, I see brush circle, press Ctrl and try painting vertex weights, but nothing happens - vertex color and values not changing. I try to down scale my object - no success. But.. I try paint in your demo scene, on skinnedClothTest2 object and get result - colors and values are changing.
I have Unity v3.4.0f5.
Please, help!
I think it may be down to how I am lighting my scene and my Rendering Path settings. I am not getting good performance on Android, 15 fps, so I changed the Rendering path to Vertex Lit and the Graphics level to OpenGL ES 1.x
I am running into issues getting it working at a speed I am happy with. Any tips?
@korotkevich.md: thanks for the email, let me know if you need any more support.
@Mr Turnip Head: This could be a few things, and I wouldn't recommend testing with the emulator. I test on my old android phone and I get much better performance with that. As far as optimizations, reduce the vertex count, so it is not so dense, and maybe use the two texture blend rather than the three texture blend. The two texture blend is only one draw call while the three texture is a two draw call and that can get expensive. Let me know how that works for you.
Thanks for the reply reissgrant.
I am running my scene on a Motorola Xoom tablet and just can't get the performance I am after unfortunately. When I have the terrain mesh optimised I may try the vertex painting again and see if I can get 30fps. Think for now I am just going to have to go back to the old ways and use single diffuse textures for now.
Nice program to use though. Will get some use out of it I am sure.
Hi Grant,
I just saw there is a new version of Unity available; 3.5.1. Could you try this with you samples and see if we got lucky and have cloth painting fixed?
Hi, the tool looks nice, I might buy it, but I have a few questions about it.
When you paint the vertex colors, where is the info stored ?
Let's say I have 30 cubes in my scene (which are all the same cube prefab), and I paint only one of the cubes, will that paint the other cubes with the same information as well ? If I paint one of the cubes and then update the prefab what happens to the other cubes ? Can I paint the cubes independently even if they come from the same prefab or do I need to have a different prefab for each cube ?
Thanks !
I bought this yesterday, from assetstore,how can i get your email?
I just PM you and give you the invoice no.,Need the 3.5 bug fix version!!
@Don: the 3.5.1 has not fixed the bug
@Patapouffe: If you make a prefab of the vertex colored object, all instances of that prefab will inherit the vertex colors. If you want a unique object you will have to make another prefab.
@liverol: as soon as Unity fixes the skinned cloth transform bug, I will release a fix, if need be.
Very interested in buying, a question:
If I reimport the mesh I am painting will the alpha information be lost? - I assume it would be lost if the topology had changed (added/removed vertices) but if the only change was the positions of some verts would the alpha data still be intact? I'm thinking about if I was fine tuning a landscape, just little adjustment of vert positions here and there.
The tool looks great - just wish there was a Demo version
@stuatk: I just implemented this, so if you tweak the model, you can copy the colors to the new mesh:
Would this be available right now?
...I would be nice to have just a "Reload Mesh" Button as well
Yes, this is available right now. If for whatever reason you do not have it, PM me and I will make sure you get the updated package
EDIT: I looked into making it simple with a "reload Mesh" type function, but identifying the mesh associated with it was not a simple task. Unity gives each mesh a unique ID, that changes each time you restart the program. Because of this, I would have to build a database of IDs that constantly change, once on each restart. Or, when you want to "reload" I would have to check all vertex painted meshes and compare it against the selected mesh to see if the vertex counts match (and even this would not work since simply moving vertices can change the vertex count). In the future I may come up with a better solution, or just take the time to do it properly.
Someone asked how to do a hard-edged blend, so here is an example of one; using one of the included (hard edge blend) shaders:
I was waiting for this... this function should become a standard part of the terrains in Unity...
Does the Vertex Painter work on Terrains?
I can't seem to get it to paint. I added a Mesh Renderer to the terrain. but it won't give me the brush tool when I press CTRL.

C-SPAN founder tells graduates to pursue what they love
"Make sure that your stomach doesn't hurt."
And if it does, do something else.
The advice to graduates at the University of South Carolina commencement ceremony Friday (May 8) came from C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb, who arrived at law school only to find that the career path that his father had wanted for him didn't feel right.
The clue? His stomach hurt.
Brian Lamb
"I didn't want to be there," said Lamb, who was awarded an honorary doctorate of humanities during the ceremony.
Speaking to graduates at the first of three commencement ceremonies for recipients of bachelor's and master's degrees, Lamb said he lasted only three days in law school. After his stomach ache , he joined the Navy, then worked in Washington, D.C., and ultimately founded C-SPAN.
"Don't worry about what anyone else thinks," he said. "If you don't want to do it, it will show."
Brandi Richi of Fort Mill, graduating summa cum laude from the College of Nursing, gathered with friends to celebrate the day.

BRONSON –The Town of Bronson, like a lot of people, could use a quick $14-18 million.
Unlike most people, Bronson wants to spend it on expanding its sewer capacity. New Mayor Franklin Schuler said it is a priority.
Only 15 percent of the residential homes in Bronson have sewer service. The rest are on septic systems.
Schuler and other Town Council members were pretty much left scratching their heads on how to solve the problem. Grant money already had been exhausted and borrowing the money would be the only solution, he thought.

Metallica Makes An Impression At Glastonbury
Listen to Metallica Radio on iHeartRadio
The buildup to Metallica's set at Glastonbury this weekend had plenty of controversy, especially surrounding frontman James Hetfield's hunting habits. But rather than ignore it and get straight to the music, the metal vets opened Saturday night's headlining set with a tongue-in-cheek video dubbed "Glastallica."
Directed by English filmmaker Julien Temple, the clip opens with scenes from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly before cutting away to footage of fox hunts in the British countryside. It all ends when a quartet of bears comes out of the woods and begins to shoot the fox hunters. The bears eventually reveal themselves to be all four grinning members of Metallica.
Once the real show began, Hetfield told the Glasto crowd that he and his bandmates were "very proud" to be there representing the "heavier side of music."
Metallica was the first metal act ever to headline the festival's famous Pyramid Stage.

The worst thing that can be said about Barack Obama's "speech to the Muslim world" - delivered in Cairo to an audience that responded almost as rapturously as certain BBC corrsepondents - was that for long stretches of it he appeared to be channelling Tony Blair. And, in my book, that's pretty damning. There was the same historical ignorance, the same empty, windy rhetoric, the same cultural cringe, the same unwillingness to spell out hard facts, the same desire to flatter the audience, the same liberal platitudes, the same lack of realistic solutions. Large sections were crammed almost to a parodic decree with Blair-style faithspeak. Indeed, the agenda of Tony's absurd faith foundation would now seem to have become official American policy.
Take this passage. Banish, if you will, all thoughts of the divine Barack from your mind. Imagine that these words are being spoken by Tony Blair:
Indeed, faith should bring us together. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews. That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's Interfaith dialogue and Turkey's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations. Around the world, we can turn dialogue into Interfaith service, so bridges between peoples lead to action – whether it is combating malaria in Africa, or providing relief after a natural disaster.
It's the reference to malaria - TB's big project (at least until he manages to secure the Brussels job) - that really gives the game away, although Blair has been just as effusive about the Saudi king's interfaith initiative in the past, and just as unwilling to mention Saudi Arabia's less than perfect record when it comes to democracy, human rights or religious tolerance. Blair has never explained what sending mosquito nets to Africa - laudable though that is - has to do with improving Muslim-Christian relations. But he'll be pleased to have Barack on board.
While Obama had some good things to say about Holocaust denial and antisemitism - "baseless, ignorant, and hateful" - and some useful passages about the Middle East peace process, his desire to flatter his audience led him to some highly questionable, even dangerous, assertions.
First, historical distortion and/or ignorance. The way this works is to contrast the inherent tolerance and pluralism of Islam with the oppression and exploitation that characterised all Western relationships with the Muslim world - at least, until recently, when the entirely altruistic foreign policy goals of America and her allies have been systematically misunderstood as more of the same. At the same time, Islam is held to have been responsible for virtually all Western scientific and philosophical achievements.
It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed.
That passage, especially the parts about the magnetic compass and printing, is likely to annoy some people in China. The question of printing is particularly ironic, since moveable type was developed in China and Korea and (independently, it appears) in Europe in the fifteenth century, whereas in Muslim countries printing was not only a late arrival, it was actively excluded by the Ottoman government on the grounds that the widespread availability of books would undermine the primacy of the Koran. Algebra was an Arab achievement- but while Arab medicine in the Middle Ages and long afterwards was in advance of Europe, that was mainly because European medical practice was positively dangerous, whereas Islamic medicine at least had the efficacy of a placebo. There were real achievements in terms of the understanding of the human body in medieval Spain, and at least one important medical advance - smallpox inoculation - was imported into Europe from Ottoman Turkey in the 18th century. But "understanding of how disease spreads" had to wait for the nineteenth century and the work of European scientists such as Louis Pasteur, and it took until the twentieth for actual treatments to be developed. As far as I'm aware, Muslim doctors played no role in these developments, although in recent decades there has been high-quality research carried out in Islamic countries. Such research is, of course, entirely based on Western models.
Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
I'm not sure what he means by "cherished music", but it would be churlish to deny that Islam has given the world some truly great domes. Although of course it was the Romans who pioneered that form of architecture.
Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition.
Here's where the trouble starts. Read literally the sentence is anachronistic - the Inquisition was only brought in after the last Muslim rulers had been kicked out of Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella. It's a fair point that in Islamic Spain Christians and Jews were (most of the time) allowed to practise their religion in peace - provided they paid the Jizra tax and did not attempt to display their religion in public. Muslims had most of the privileges and all of the power. Better than the Inquisition's reign of terror, certainly, but it was a very limited sort of tolerance by modern standards. Of course, comforting myth sound better than historical complexity. What rankles is not so much the warm language but the unnecessary factual errors.
But then when it comes to flattering Islam, Obama's soft soap rivals that of Blair himself. There were quotes from the "Holy Koran" aplenty, references to "the children of Abraham", much talk of "mutual respect", even the assertion that it was "part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear". I don't remember hearing that in the Oath of Office. His language, in parts, was quite startling. For example, he spoke of the Middle East as "the region where it [Islam] was first revealed". Why "revealed" rather than "born" or "established"? "Revealed" implies truth; it also implies divine intervention. This is certainly how it will be interpreted. And so careful a user of language as President Obama will not have been unaware of these connotations.
Obama later turned to the thorny issues of religious pluralism and women's rights. Here, the trick is to minimise the problem by downplaying the abuses on one side and exaggerating the faults on the other. Obama relies on a spurious balancing act by which every terrorist outrage or human rights violation emanating from "the Muslim world" has to be answered by an equivalent Western crime against Islam. At times, the effort to find such balance strains the speech beyond breaking point:
Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one's own faith by the rejection of another's. The richness of religious diversity must be upheld – whether it is for Maronites in Lebanon or the Copts in Egypt. And fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq.
Freedom of religion is central to the ability of peoples to live together. We must always examine the ways in which we protect it. For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. That is why I am committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat.
So on the one hand, there is actual persecution - not infrequently attended by violence. There is also - though Obama isn't so rude as to mention it - the use of laws against "blasphemy" to prevent freedom of religious expression or suppress human rights. In one notable case, Afghan student Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh was sentenced to twenty years for the distributing a pamphlet in favour of women's rights. On the other hand, some American Muslims might be find it difficult to exploit tax-breaks for charitable giving. Obama promises to make it easier. Which is fine, of course (as long as the zakat money doesn't find its way to Hizbollah, as has been known to happen). But really, there is no comparison to be made. There is not even the beginning of a comparison. Such moral equivalence does neither side much good - and certainly, does nothing for those Muslims (and Christians) suffering human rights violations in the spurious name of Islam.
Obama's remarks about the role of women were similarly vague and non-confrontational:
Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity – men and women – to reach their full potential.
No objections there. But he also felt the need to say - twice - that there was no problem with the hijab. Or rather there was, but it is purely a matter of Westerners "dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear". He said: "I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal", as though there were such a view. If there is, I've yet to hear it. Rather, there are those who believe that a culture that requires a woman (but not a man) to cover her hair is, in a meaningful sense, less committed to the equality of the sexes than one in which men aren't unhealthily obsessed with telling women how to dress. It's certainly my view - though I appreciate it's a minority one in Britain (though not in France).
It is perverse to imply - as Obama does - that the only problem with Islamic dress comes from attempts to suppress it. He fails to address what is the real problem with Islamic women's dress - which is that there are several countries in which it is legally imposed, and many more communities where it is imposed through intimidation or violence. Instead, he boasts that "the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it", as though that is the only freedom that matters. Freedom works both ways; but not in Obamaland, not today at least.
(Obama's mealy-mouthed comments about the status of women have gone down badly with some feminists, I note.)
Another oddly Blairite touch came when he promised to "create a new online network, so a teenager in Kansas can communicate instantly with a teenager in Cairo". I assume that there are teenagers in Kansas who would like to communicate instantly with teenagers in Cairo. Or vice versa. And they can. Presumably the "new online network" of which he speaks will be some sort of website. But so many opportunities for instant communication already exist, and are already easily accessible to teenagers both in Kansas and in Cairo, that one more is unlikely to change the world.
But the peroration outBlaired Blair at his most Blairish. There was, first of all, the improbable vision of a shiny new world:
The issues that I have described will not be easy to address. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek – a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected. Those are mutual interests. That is the world we seek.
And all the world shall live as one, as John Lennon put it (though the Liverpudlian philosopher noted that the absence of religion might be a precondition for the emergence of such a utopia). This rhetorical day-dreaming brought back memories of all those speeches to the Labour party conference. So too did Obama's denunciation of the pessimists and those of ill-will:
Some are eager to stoke the flames of division, and to stand in the way of progress. Some suggest that it isn't worth the effort – that we are fated to disagree, and civilizations are doomed to clash. Many more are simply skeptical that real change can occur. There is so much fear, so much mistrust. But if we choose to be bound by the past, we will never move forward. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country – you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world.
I mean, it's the purest tosh, is it not? How can anyone pretend to take it seriously?

It hangs to the first boot graphical part where initial users get created etc. I did several reboot attempts that did all hang. I.e. I saw the login manager only once after adding the entry to the xorg.conf and completing the second stage of the install. Also, I made several installs as I'm not homing to the system before the final release and therefore I try to make a lot of testing. For some reason, I managed to fix it by adding the "intel" only on my first install. On the following reinstalls, it was always starting X server configuration which ended to the blank screen and when rebooting in single user mode, the Driver "intel" was missing again. I'm not sure what I did differently. If "# mount -o rw tank1/*/* /" (I looked the tank name with "mount -p") was not enough to make persistent changes to the files. Or if there was something else I did differently, since I didn't pay full attention on my first install. My experience is mostly from Windows so finding my way around is still a little experimental.

WATCH: Panic! at the Disco pays homage to D'Angelo in new video
Listen to Panic! at the Disco on iHeartRadio
Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie is doing his best D'Angelo impression in the band's new video for "Girls/Girls/Boys."
The clip is a shot-for-shot remake of the R&B crooner's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," which caught nearly everyone's eye back in 2000 with its risqué shots of the muscular singer's nude body.
This time around, it's Urie who strips down to sing the latest single from Panic! at the Disco's new album "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die."
The frontman says "Girls/Girls/Boys" is a racy song to begin with, so doing an homage to the D'Angelo video "seemed like a perfect fit." Urie says he considers the "Untitled" clip to be of the sexiest of all time, as well as one of his personal favorites.

I joined the 10News family in November of 2013, just in time to see the oddest winter East Tennessee has had in a long time. Also, just in time to help deliver breaking weather-related stories on WBIR and Fox43.
News is something I enjoy and have the pleasure of doing for my career, and now I am honored to share that with East Tennessee.
I am not from the area, but was drawn in by the many lakes, mountains, and hospitality. The perfect combination to make me feel welcomed.
I was born in a northern suburb of Chicago, Illinois, called Glenview. That's where I picked up my first camera along with my interest in the news business.
From there, I went to college at the University of Missouri where I received a degree in Broadcast Journalism. While going to school, I worked as a multimedia journalist at KOMU-TV, the NBC affiliate for Mid-Missouri.
My first job out of college was a hop, skip and a jump away from school.
I worked at KHQA-TV in Quincy, Illinois as a Weekend Anchor and Reporter. This job allowed me to spend more time out in the field meeting the many faces of the area. That is my favorite part of the job.
Now that I am in East Tennessee, you could probably find me near any body of water. If not there, I am most likely searching for some great local music to listen to.
So if you see me out on the lake or even around town, please say hello. I always enjoy hearing what you have to say.
If you have a story idea, you can find me on twitter at @JeffWBIR.
If you'd like to reach out to Jeff, please email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Championship: Ross McCormack has no intention of leaving Leeds United
Leeds striker Ross McCormack has revealed he has no intention of leaving the club after being linked with Middlesbrough.
Last Updated: 19/08/13 3:13pm
McCormack netted for Leeds with a superb equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road on Saturday.
And the Scotland international, reportedly the subject of £1m and £1.3m bids from Championship rivals Boro, said: "If I'm going to go it's going to be their (the club's) decision. It's not going to be my decision.
"Not once have I asked for a transfer and I won't force through a move.
"But if there's an issue with the club and they need me to move on for money, sometimes in life you do things that you don't want to do."
McCormack added: "I'm firmly happy here and I'm settled in the area. It's always nice when other clubs are putting in offers for you but as I've said numerous times, I'm happy.
"This is a massive club and I'm really honoured to be here."

Tornados romp through season opener, 51-6August 29, 2009
Bryce rushes for 192 yards and Hudson takes an interception to the house in win
Jacksonville, Fla. - Donald Hudson took an early interception back to the house and Neville Bryce racked up 192 yards on 14 carries, breaking a 65-yard run early in the first quarter as the Tornados cruised past Edward Waters in the 2009 season opener, 51-6.
The Tornados racked up 398 yards on the ground on their way to setting a new school record for points in a game. Richard Bush chipped in with 59 yards on four carries and Derek Church had a pair of touchdown runs for Brevard.
On the defensive side, Michael Gist and Stanley Jones led the way with nine tackles. Gist recorded a tackle for loss and Jones picked up a sack early in the first half on his way to 2.5 tackles for loss. Hudson and Dwayne White each recorded an interception and Salthaniel Hall recovered a fumble late in the game as the Tornados defense dominated control of the field.
The Tornados move to 1-0 in the 2009 season, while the Tigers fall to 0-1.
Hudson put the Tornados on the board first with some early fireworks, stepping in front of a Cesary Wilborn pass and returning it 30 yards for the score to put the Tornados up 7-0 with 5:21 into the game.
On the Tornados next offensive possession, Bryce broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage after a 13-yard run by Justin Fleming, to take it to the house, going 65 yards for the score to put Brevard up over EWC, 13-0 with 7:07 left on the clock in the first quarter.
Bryce piled up over 100 yards in the first quarter alone, recording 102 yards on five carries, making an instant splash in his first game as a Tornado.
After the defense forced a three and out by the Tigers, Church bulled his way ahead for a 14 yard carry, before receiving the next handoff and carried three Tigers on his back the remaining six yards across the goal line to put Brevard up 20-0 before the end of the first quarter.
Richard Ray capped off the first quarter with a sack, chasing down a scrambling Wilborn, to end the first 15 minutes of play with Brevard holding a commanding 20-0 lead.
Michael Crumbaker kept the offense going in the second quarter, going in from four yards out on fourth down as the Tornados offense rolled on in the first half, going up 27-0 with 11:17 left in the half.
Church made his second trip into the end zone before the end of the half, carrying another three Tigers defenders on his back for 12 yards as he put Brevard up by the score of 34-0 with under five minutes in the first half.
Jacquez Stevenson put the Tigers on the board with a 27-yard touchdown reception with 2:14 on the clock, receiving a pass from a scrambing Wilborn and out-racing Austin Williams to the pylon to put the game at 34-6 in favor of the Tornados.
The Tornados dominate the game through the first half, accumulating 297 yards on the ground on 29 rushing attempts for 10.2 yards per carry average. Bryce had 160 yards on eight carries by himself.
Brevard struck first in the second half as Chase Henry put his first field goal of the season right down the middle of the uprights from 31 yards out with 9:52 left in the third quarter.
Justin Fleming increased the lead with a nine-yard scamper to put the score at 44-6 as Bryce carried the load on the drive with five carries for 27 yards as the Tornados went into ball-control mode.
Senior quarterback Matthew Gaines finished the scoring in the game, diving into the end zone from one yard out to put Brevard up 51-6 with 5:50 left in the game.
With Edward Waters attempting one last gasp to get back into the game, freshman quarterback Percey Freeman scrambled for a first down, but lost control of the ball. Salthaniel Hall fell on it for the Tornados and Gaines kneeled down on the next snap, running out the clock and securing the Tornados first victory on the road in two years.
The Tornados make the return trip to Brevard this evening, and will start preparations for next weekend as they travel to Pikeville, Ky. to take on the Pikeville College Bears. Brevard will look to make it two in a row against the Bears, having won the 2008 season match-up back on September 6th at Brevard Memorial Stadium, 20-17.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I liked the elegance of the place. Made me feel fancy. I didn't like the extra money I spent on things that I felt should have been standard. I should have saved my money and stayed at a cheaper place that provided things such as parking and a microwave/fridge. While I enjoyed the view I don't feel that I should have had to pay additional money for it or parking. All in all it was too expensive for the level of elegance they were selling as standard.
The hotel has been completely redone and you can tell. The rooms are large and well appointed and the bed was comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer. No complaints
All the rooms are finished and the earlier complaints about the horrible construction noise is no longer an issue. I think they are still working on the lobby in parts, but did not bother me at all. Very pretty room, loved the decor. I got a discount price for booking during their construction I guess, and lucked out, for there is no construction, so price was very fair. Parking garage/valet is 22.00 a night, which is steep, but I used it because I wanted to feel safe and it does that. High price for parking, 22.00 a night is pretty high for Arkansas, and wow! Marriott is cleaning up on that one. ha!
I loved the location to the river market district. We were able to walk to the bars and restaurants that we wanted to visit. We were on the 19th floor of the hotel so we had a great view of downtown Little Rock I booked a "deluxe room" for approx. $170 per night, which isn't insanely high, but I definitely could have found better rates at comparable hotels in the area. When I got to the room it was VERY small, and had 2 DOUBLE beds. I called the front desk and confirmed that this was in fact a "deluxe" room and they said yes. I asked if I could pay to upgrade to a room with 2 queen beds, since there were 4 adults in the group, and they said that double beds were the largest beds they had on property for rooms with 2 beds. That was very disappointing considering I can go to a Holiday Inn Express and get a room with 2 queen beds for $50 cheaper per night. Also, the room did not have a microwave or refrigerator. All of the above are things that come standard in most hotels that are significantly cheaper. For the amount of money that we paid, I was not satisfied with the value.
Searched dates did not coincide with dates reserved. My room was given away.
Best free breakfast of any hotel in this class, friendly staff. KAYAK screwed up my reservation
Staff. They offered to pick food up for me because my flight got in so late Bed... It crunched
Watched the news and monitored the hurricane! The kids enjoyed the pool and the gym! No! It is a very nice hotel! I wish they had stoves in the suites, that's all!
the breakfast and wifi were a plus!
As the name implies, the hotel offered a very comfortable experience. After traveling from overseas to visit home, I received a hassle free check-in, stay, and check-out. There were no-hidden-fees, there was a continental breakfast, and covered pull-up. The room was a nice size and the view was wonderful.
Never had a suite for a price like this! And the shuttle which drives me also to Central Highschool. On the first day I saw walking a big insect on the floor (don't know the name) but that can always happened.
Check out time is 11 am. They started to ring the room phone immediately after 11 and said. at 11:45 the front desk said that they might charge us for another day. WE HAVE 4 ROOMS FOR 2 DAYS AT REGULAR RATE OF $99 / DAY. and we have VACATED ALL THE ROOMS EXCEPT ONLY ONE. and vacated that room at 11:55. We travel at least 2 months out of the year. Will we stay in your hotel again. NEVER. Even if it was for FREE.
We were in Little Rock for my husbands treatment at the University of Arkansas Cancer Center. The staff was extremely accomodating. It was quiet, the breakfast was fresh and like the rest of the hotel very clean. The staff was able to give us a hospital rate for the next time we stay. wE WERE
Very clean hotel in a nice area of Little Rock. Nice to have a good reasonably priced hotel close the medical center down the street.
This was my second time to stay here but it had been awhile. The hotel was still in good condition: Clean and comfortable. Great location for what we were doing - Conference at UALR and much better value than the hotels downtown and just as close. Our room was on the North side of the building and right above the side entrance - early in the morning it was a little noisy but I needed to get up anyway.
This hotel is located in a great location, within walking distance of many restaurants and clubs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable with an outstanding view of the riverfront. The restaurant and bar have good food as well. It is definitely a great choice for Little Rock getaways or business. Parking and breakfast should be included with the rooms at the price charged.
the location was great - clean room, nice gym the staff at the front desk to check in was not professional and needs an attitude adjustment. Her name is Laura.
good prices, clean rooms, good location under staffed hotel.
Great location! We were able to have a great night a restaurants and bars without going more than a mile from the hotel. The rooms are large and clean. The hotel seems almost unfinished, the only available parking is an additional charge to the room. It could use some updating.
Definitely worth the money considering its within walking distance of so many things
Planned power outage / no ac for a few hours
Convenient location Still doing construction on the property
I liked that it was quite. secluded. The floor with the pool, fourth floor I believe smelled of smoke even though it was a non smoking area and we had to get moved up to the 8th floor. And we were given the lounge privileges for our inconvenience but the lounge was closed. We only stayed one night so that was useless. The beds were smaller than what was photographed on the website. Misleading. The parking garage staff is very rude! Very Unprofessional. I suggest hiring new people to say good bye to your tenants.
I have stayed here many times through the years when going to concerts. Always have great experience. Make sure they enough staff in bar and restaurant when concert is in town
Downtown convenient location
Bed was comfortable. My niece enjoyed herself at the pool. (2.5ft-5ft) It is in a good location to get to several locations. Breakfast was good. It took a long time for omelets and waffles but that's because they only have one cook working the hot station. It was worth the wait. All the staff members I encountered were very friendly and helpful. There was a dust ball in the hallway. House keeping failed to pick it up twice. Walls are thin our neighbors were drunk and loud. (They were celebrating their softball loss)
Location and breakfast was excellent There were no towel racks in the bathroom
Stephanie brought a flashlight to my room. It lit the entire room for awhile before going out. The electricity was cut off from 1:00 am - 5:40 am for maintenance. I was informed after the fact.
I LOVED that it was just a short walk from Verizon arena, great restaurants for dinner and breakfast is buffet-style, with custom omelettes available. People were friendly and staff very nice. It got a little warm in my room, but the air did not kick in until the morning. Night was a little rough because I LOVE cool air. But NOT a show stopper, by any means. It was a great room.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful Rooms don't seem to be very well sound insulated. You could easily hear any noise in the hallway
Great value. More than adequate for our one night stay to break up our 13hour drive.. Breakfast buffet was indeed a pleasant surprise. Grass blower at 7am on a Friday?! We need a federal law.
The breakfast was the only positive. It's extremely outdated and the price is close to the other hotels. I'd rather put it towards something newer so it doesn't fee like you're sleeping in a room in the 50's.
Facilities were dated.
This building is well built. Very quality finishes. The complimentary breakfast was very good as well, brunch style. The AC works as well, which is always important in the summer. Great location, but later at night (10 pm) some harmless yet forward homeless people will ask you for money. Don't give them money. Lock up your stuff. They have security at the hotel, safe place overall.
Very nice breakfast included with stay .
Wifi works. Not too expensive. Place isn't clean and needs updates beyond a flat screen tv in the room.
The shuttle was awesome. The hotel is dirty and run down
Nothing Everything. Dirtiest hotel I've experienced, with stains on rugs, an unclean shower, and reeking off smoke in non smoking rooms. Don't stay here.
We had a roach in our bathroom.
The room and lobby area. The fish pond. I like it all. Very nice.
Free breakfast , spacious rooms and very courteous staff, The beds were too small, we had full size beds and we definitely need at least a Queens.
Clean is top priority for me & the beds are very comfortable. Staff was wonderful & courteous. Definitely will continue to stay here when we are in town.
2 staff members I want to commend , Horce and Bubba... they went above and beyond making us welcome and our stay pleasureable ... a big thanks to them ..They took care of our every need ... our staff members were great also. would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone.. thanks Embassey Suites
The pool area was very dark and very crowded. The pool had a horrible smell, the kids only swam for a few minutes.
Location and friendly staff Room wasn't very nice compared to other embassy suites and even cheaper Hilton brands
One of the bus staff at the restaurant was the consummate professional and one of the most truly genuine people I've ever met. His name was Horace and I plan to write a letter on his behalf to the Embassy Suites. He displayed the best customer services I've ever experienced, bar none.
Location was convenient for us and the parking garage great as it was raining the whole time. Paid extra for the wi-fi and concession on the floor. Concession had limited variety and only worked 2 out of 6 times we went to it. Dead Bugs in bathroom lights. Closet door wouldn't close without forcing. Door reported, but they just closed it, didn't bother to fix. Requested quiet room, got it until noisy kids moved in next door.
Can't grasp the needs or duvets in warm weather. Just a light blanket is preferable
Bed was comfortable Shower was horrible... Water jets all clogged. Advised front desk... She did nothing. No apology, no adjustment offered. I didn't ask or demand either. Parking additional charge and wasn't connected to the hotel. Had to drive around the other side of the block. Not convenient.
Nice hotel, convenient hard to actually put a finger on it, just didn't feel welcome
It gave a great view of the city and was located right by the river market area giving easy access to restaurants and bars. The room was amazing, a lot better than its competition in the area, it was spacious with a comfortable bed. The building is currently under some construction but it causes no issues for customers. The only thing I would change about the rooms is the lighting inside the room was just ok. Unless you get the valet parking which costs $22 a night, then expect to have to walk quite a few blocks for parking during high traffic hours.
The bed was awesome. Real coffee cups Rusty air vents. Glasses in bathroom still had last guest's water IN them. Tv couldn't get reception on some channels I wanted to watch. Bathroom small.
Friendly staff The hotel wasn't modern. I was expecting something a little nicer.
This hotel was very clean (very important factor to me), the atmosphere was charming, and the staff was stellar. They were all very friendly and warm people. The term Southern hospitality comes to mind. Even the cleaning lady was overly accommodating. After checking out I forgot my skirt in the closet and the cleaning lady ran out after me to make sure I didn't leave it behind. A little caring and understanding goes a long way and these ladies were wonderful. We travel quite a bit and hotels in this grade are usually cheaper. However, this is the nicest, cleanest, prettiest hotel we've stayed at in the area and next time we're making a trip to Little Rock we'll be back.
Very clean rooms ... excellent services! I will stay there again ... very happy! N/A
Clean and up to date. Plenty of Room Kinda far away from the downtown area
Amenities were very nice. Bed was comfortable. Great shower. Power ports including usb on night stands. Tyler at the front desk was incredibly polite and helpful. Little details. No remote in room, had to get one. Parking was quite limited and had to walk around the building.
Its very fancy, piano and restaurant in the main lobby, beds were good, nice big rooms, nice fridge and Direct TV with 2 tvs in the room and a couch Open the door and people can see who is taking a shower the bathroom has a door which is needed but if you don't close it people will see you pooping from the hallway, breakfast is not included, Toilet had issues, No WIFi, A/C is loud, not coming here again paid for the Piano in the main lobby
It was near everything, the staff was pleasant, it was clean.I feel it was a Great Deal for the money. I was on the first floor & they were doing renovations to that floor at the time of my stay. The breakfast didn't change much from day to day.
Clean, friendly, easy access to interstate, large room and huge hot breakfast
The location and the decor was very nice and comfortable. The room was very comfortable. The shower was hot and enjoyable. The A/C worked well and I liked the fan. The hotel did not have any recycling options. When I asked the woman at the front desk about recycling my bottle, she treated me as if I was crazy for suggesting it.
Staff No internet
Knowing the rich history made my stay a pleasure. The patina that comes with age is irreplaceable. Reminiscent of European boutique hotels. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Location is perfect.
The location provides convenient access to restaurants, interstate system and businesses. The architecture and layout of building is quaint. The fitness center is a nice convenience. The morning attendant day two greeted me on the way out. Main issue was there was no remote in the room upon arrival. I had to go to the desk myself to get one. Two of the three lights in the room didn't work. I reported it night one. Upon my return for night two, only one light had been made functional. This is more a reflection of staff than facilities in my opinion. The bathroom had no counter space--something could be done that still meets the quaintness of the room.
Stayed for a weekend while I was in town for a wedding. Since I was short on funding for the trip I chose the Legacy based it's competitive price and location (it's right in the middle of downtown Little Rock, although downtown isn't very large) Other reviews led me to believe the hotel would be a tad run down, however I accepted the risk and booked anyways. The Hotel does show it's age, however it does have that old-timey charm that makes places like this a "boutique hotel". My room was in good shape, clean, and free of defects like peeling wallpaper, missing lightbulbs and leaky faucets. Also had a microwave and fridge, a nice little luxury for the cheapest room in the place. The lobby seemed well decorated to illustrate the hotel's past and the staff at the front were most friendly and helpful. It's not the Ritz, but much more homely and welcoming than a Motel 6. Overall a good Value. Would absolutely reccomend if you need a cheap place to stay in Littke Rock.
Love the history of the hotel. Lobby is beautiful! Location is amazing! And you couldn't ask for muxh more for the price. Will probably always be our choice hotel in Little Rock. The staff is always very nice. Needs some major updates. Even if they don't have the money for updates it needs to be kept cleaner. And simple things like the stair railing need to be fixed. If it was kept cleaner it would come off a lot nicer.
We had these reservations scheduled since September 2016. I have a confirmation number from the hotel. They called 2 weeks before our event to inform us that they would not be able to honor the reservations. The didn't offer to assist with reservations elsewhere. Basically they said, "Too Bad". This was the weekend of the Little Rock Marathon (hence the early reservations). We were very luck to find another place to stay but it cost us almost double what our confirmed price was at the Legacy. :(
Good value for money. Nice oversized 2 BR apartment suite for ~$100.
The location is good. I reserved and paid in advance for a room with two beds. I get there and it has one bed. Also, the air conditioning doesn't work. They moved my family to another room with working air conditioning, but we had to have a roll-away bed for the child. It is very inconvenient to had a bed in the middle of a room where it is not intended. The desk clerk brought me my new room key and didn't even say a word. She just handed it to me and walked off. The large tub in the room had dirt in the bottom of it and a cockroach on the edge of the tub. The first morning of our stay, room service did a poor job of making the bed. My four-year-old could probably have done better. The second day, when we arrived at the room at 3:00 P.M., the room had not even been made up. I went to the desk and the clerk said they just hadn't gotten to it yet. I said it was a little late now because we were in for the evening. I had to ask for clean towels. I've stayed here before and it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. Now, however, the Legacy hotel is very poorly managed and run. I will not be staying there again.
I liked how quiet and charming the hotel was. It was clean but outdated, however I didn't choose to stay there because of the decor. There are not any amenities. No ice machine, breakfast, etc. But they do supply a larger mini fridge, microwave and coffee machine. So if you plan to stay there any length of time, take your own snacks, etc. The parking lot is not secured, however I never felt threatened or concerned & I didn't have to pay absorbent parking fees.
The hotel has character and ambiance. The lobby is beautiful and my room was well appointed. The staff was helpful and friendly. I absolutely loved the food served in Filibuster's (the bar/restaurant). It was phenomenal! The staff freshly prepared the dishes from original recipes. Truly a wonderful experience!!! There were only two issues that, one of which was addressed immediately. The toilet in my room would not flush -- maintenance arrived quickly and corrected the problem. The other issue is that the main areas of the hotel were not adequately air conditioned. It was about 90 degrees during the day and the hotel lobby and restaurant/bar were uncomfortably warm. However, the air conditioning in my room worked very well!
It's in a convenient location downtown. It's close to many places that you may be going to in Little Rock. This time, we were going to a concert at the Verizon Arena. It's also not far from the Clinton Museum and the Riverfront area. This was my second time that I stayed here. The first time, I stayed with a friend. She and I didn't think too highly of it. However, it wasn't awful. I was coming back with my husband and his mom for a concert. I wanted a good deal, so I knew it wouldn't be the nicest place to stay at, but I didn't think it would be so bad. However, I realized that I wouldn't stay there again, and I regretted booking it since I had my husband and his mom with me. First, our room was not ready even though it was a little after 3 p.m. when we checked in. However, they gave us one of their apartments instead, which had two separate bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Secondly, my husband was very disturbed by the carpet that had wax melted on it and lint and things, as if it had not been vacuumed. The most upsetting thing was that the air in our bedroom with a king bed was not working. It was making noise but you couldn't feel cold air. We called the front office. They said they were sending someone. We had to leave for dinner and the concert, so we're not sure if they came to look at it. However, it was not any better when we got back around 10:00 p.m. Third, the bed was not very comfortable. Fourth, which I knew from my first stay, the breakfast is lacking. It had the basics: two choices of mini muffins, only white bread, about 4 cereals, and some not-too-tasty-looking oranges and apples.
The only thing to like about this entire experience was the staff member who changed our room at 3 a.m., and the understanding front desk woman who had to process our refund the next day. The hotel is filthy and smells terrible. But at 3 a.m. when you find that your hotel bed sheets and pillows are covered in bed bugs, there is nothing worse. We were packed and standing in the hall 3 minutes later, and had it not been 3 a.m. in downtown Little Rock we would have left or slept in our car. That same morning, I booked a different hotel for the rest of our stay and went to the front desk to get a refund. Not only did the owner try to tell me they weren't giving me a refund for that night, but the laundry guy tried to tell us that all hotels have bugs and that maybe they had already sprayed and the bugs just weren't dead yet. It was a completely horrible experience. Just thankful we booked through Priceline and we were able to call them and get a refund processed.
Conveniently located Eating facility & food is thumbs down
i just want to say my stay was wonderful. We had the best service and all the staff was wonderful.
The river market is beautiful. The hotel was a bit uncomfortable. The TV and Internet were terrible.
The location and staff were great! The room was nice and clean with a great view of downtown LR.
Location The room was dirty. There was toothpaste on the bathroom counter and mold in the shower. There was no complimentary coffee downstairs and the "Starbucks" was closed. The front desk guy couldn't tell us anywhere open to go.
Prepared to drop my mother off at the airport
location dirty. Bad Wifi. Too expensive for it service.
Room was warm and humid. I should have complained.
It is right at the Little Rock airport. It was hot as all get out when we walked in and took a long time just to get comfortable. The toilet seat was broken. It was very small and everything felt worn and dated. At one hundred a night, you get proximity to the airport and precious little else.
Staff friendly No small basenette for an infant
Staff was very friendly. Rooms and lobby were clean. Some of the facilities and room accomodations need to be upgraded.
Location was great. Can't get closer to the airport. Room smelled so strong with air freshener that it was almost too much to stay. There was also trash still left in the room. Otherwise it looked clean.
The free breakfast was excellent every morning and our server was excellent
It was a good hotel, rooms were large and comfortable.
Good value for soccer weekend. Nice area. Typical amenities for this price hotel.
THere were people on boith sides of our room making noise all night.........No apparent security or management on duty to handle the situation. WE were awake ALL night!!
Very nice staff that remembers your name if you come often. I have stayed there for one week a month for 2 years and they still have most of the same staff. Good People
I was very pleased with my stay at the West Little Rock Courtyard. The location was fantastic with more than 80 restaurants within ten minutes of the hotel. Free parking and a very secure enviornment made me very comfortable during my stay. The rooms were large and well designed. Free internet in the rooms helped me stay connected during the stay. However, the best thing about this property was the staff. The people were very outgoing and friendly. From the housekeepers to the front desk everyone was smiling and very plesant. It was a great experience and I cannot wait until my travels bring me back to Little Rock and this hotel! They know how to do it right!
I hate hotels that are too cheap to put in a thermostat. Those window units with a hot-cold knob never keep the temperature in a comfortable range. You can buy a thermostat at Home Depot for $8, stop being so cheap.
Overall the hotel offered a good experience. The room was standard, with no frills. The room was fairly clean. The hotel is located near plenty of restaurant and shopping options with easy access to the interstate and major roads.
First stay was okay, since then we needed to take our child back to arkansas childrens hospital. There reservation methods have changed and I received a very rude non helpful person who became somewhat of a smart mouth until I asked to speak to her supervisor. Still they seemed to not have a rate for Arkansas Childrens Hospital patients less than two months after we were there the first time. Something should be done about this.
The hotel is very nice. However, their idea of a 'coffeemaker' is a device that brews 1 cup at a time and only 1 packet (cup) of coffee is left in the room. This is the reason we will not stay again. Apparently the marketing is they want you up and out of room and down in lobby for their $10.00 breakfast buffet. You can (and we did) get free coffee in the lobby, but their are plently of other hotels in Little Rock. Also it was interesting that the front desk clerk brought her daughter to work with her to hang in the lobby and apparently she enjoyed telling the people checking in to 'be quiet'.
My husband and I stayed here for a Razorback game weekend/ getaway. The hotel was very nice, the staff incredibly helpful, the room was spacious, and the most important factor for us... The bed linens were crisp clean AND WHITE!! The only negative was the construction on the parkway.
The hotel was clean and staff nice, breakfast NOT complimentary, but decent value for money. Drawback as I see it was that they had no coffe pots or other refreshements out after the restaurant closed. Nothing close where you could get breakfast or even a cup of joe when working at the hotel in daytime. Business center was not in a separate room, you're in the middle of the lobby with talking, music and staff walking by. Street was very busy and in rooms facing the traffic, you definitely will wake up early!
The beds were clean and the hotel was accessible and pet friendly. Great location by the airport!
Hotel it self was fine. IT was the inability to correct my problem with the TV not working ... This is a Full Service Holiday Inn and there was no maintenance staff available
Just stayed the night we landed in Little Rock and the night before we departed. Perfect location, literally across the expressway from the airport. Nice comfy beds and handy having the restaurant attached to the lobby for our late night dinner. Our first night we ended up in a room next to the elevator and ice machine. Never a good spot. Travelers at this hotel begin taking the elevator at 4:30 AM, so good luck sleeping in if you end up in a room ending in the number 17.
Bed was comfortable, bathroom was very large with a nice sized vanity for getting ready, small kitchenette was convenient, air confidtjoning and heat worked well and I didn't wake up with horrible sinus congestion like with older hotels. They do not have room service.
all nothing
