text: What Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Fears by David Webb Aug 2, 2013 12:34 PM PT Share This: Print Being irrelevant. Tax cheat, race hustler and so much less than a true public servant Charlie Rangel has spent the last 43 years serving himself. After eeking out a win by just over 1,000 votes last election he faces challengers who no longer fear him politically. Rangel has decided to play the race card and attack the tea party and tie them (I, we, us) to the Jim Crow era. This is one of his final errors. In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement. "It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn't care about how they looked," Rangel said. Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow. "It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. 'I don't want to see it and I am not a part of it.' What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break," said Rangel. Rangel is another political dinosaur headed for his 24 hours in the rotunda. He's addicted to the power and prestige. Reality check ... we all check out of this life, how do you wish approach the register? Charlie Rangle Wrangles More Attention by Javier Manjarres Aug 2, 2013 4:10 PM PT Share This: Print In response to What Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Fears: Chuckie Rangel is smarter than we give him credit. The older Sharpton wannabee, like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson see this as an opportunity to get some attention. He knows it won't cost him votes next year, if and when he runs for re-election. And if he does lose re-election, like his fellow race-baiter friends, he doesn't care. Charlie Rangel Fears Nothing by Joel B. Pollak Aug 4, 2013 7:30 AM PT Share This: Print In response to What Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Fears: My sister used to live in Charlie Rangel's district. She was appalled when Rangel was re-elected in 2010 despite a strong challenge from Adam Clayton Powell IV--a flawed candidate, to be sure, but with the roots and name recognition to mount a formidable campaign. After that race, which came following Rangel's tax scandals, it was clear that Rangel no longer has anything to fear. Not from democratic politics, anyway. Rangel's race-baiting comments on the Tea Party are probably not for political consumption alone. They are how he likely feels about the subject. Most of the black civil rights establishment feels the same way--so much so that they are prepared to overlook the government's own violation of the civil rights of Tea Party members and organizations. But Rangel is also prone to candid criticisms of his own party on occasion. He has nothing to fear; he will be re-elected, regardless. That is not solely a phenomenon of black politics, by the way: see, for example, the colorful career of James Traficant. The comeback careers of Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner (well, almost) are evidence that voters from all backgrounds are willing to consider a scoundrel as long as he or she represents what they want--or, more precisely, opposes what they don't want. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National Oklahoma fights back after feds pull education funding over Common Core26 Nov 2014, 11:22 AM PDT FBI data show thousands of gun sales beat checks26 Nov 2014, 10:01 AM PDT Arrest total raised to 58 from 2nd night of Ferguson-area protests over grand jury decision26 Nov 2014, 8:46 AM PDT San Diego woman pleads guilty to stalking charge after posting ads in revenge scheme26 Nov 2014, 8:32 AM PDT 2 teens shot by hunter unloading rifle in woods behind Pennsylvania high school26 Nov 2014, 7:30 AM PDT advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter

Tautomers need some love
Now here's a paper about something that every college student knows about and which is yet not considered by people who do drug design as often as it should- tautomers. Yvonne Martin (previously at Abbott) has a nice article about why tautomers are important in drug design and what are the continuing challenges in predicting and understanding them. This should be a good reminder for both experimentalists and theoreticians to consider tautomerism in their projects.
So why are tautomers important? For one thing, a particular tautomer of a drug molecule might be the one that binds to its protein target. More importantly, this tautomer might be the minor tautomer in solution, so knowing the major tautomer in solution may not always help determine the form bound to a protein. This bears analogy with conformational equilibria in which the conformer binding to a protein more often than not is a minor conformer. Martin illustrates some remarkable cases in which both tautomers of a particular kinase inhibitor were observed in the same crystal structure. In many cases, quantum chemical calculations indicate a considerable energy different between the minor protein-bound tautomer and its major counterpart. A further fundamental complication arises from the fact that solvent changes hugely impact tautomer equilibria, and not enough data is always available on tautomers in aqueous solution because of problems like solubility.
Thus, predicting tautomers is crucial if you want to deal with ligands bound to proteins. It is also important for predicting parameters like logP and blood brain barrier penetration which in turn depend on accurate estimations of hydrophobicity. Different tautomers have different hydrophobicities, and Martin indicates that different methods and programs can sometimes calculate different values of hydrophobicity for a given tautomer, which will directly impact important calculations of logP and blood-brain penetration. It will also affect computational calculations like docking and QSAR where tautomer state will be crucial.
Sadly, there is not enough experimental data on tautomer equilibria. Such data is also admittedly hard to obtain; the net pKa of a compound is a result of all tautomers contributing to its equilibrium, and the number of tautomers can sometimes be tremendous; for instance 8-oxoguanine which is a well known DNA lesion caused by radiation can exist in 100 or so ionic and neutral tautomers. Now let's say you want to dock this compound to a protein to predict a ligand orientation. Which tautomer on earth do you possibly choose?
Clearly calculating tautomers can be very important for drug design. As Martin mentions, more experimental as well cas theoretical data on tautomers is necessary; however such research, similar to solvation measurements discussed in a past post, usually falls under the title of "too basic" and therefore may not be funded by the NIH. But whether funded or not, successful ligand design cannot prevail without consideration of tautomers. What was that thing about basic research yielding its worth many times over in applications?

"Now let's say you want to dock this compound to a protein to predict a ligand orientation. Which tautomer on earth do you possibly choose?"ReplyDelete
This is a very important point indeed! I have been advocating for a long time, that docking programs must sample protonation states (including tautomers) on the fly and not require the user to predefine them, see my old blog post about this for more details:
I agree. Nice post! It would be really nice to have a docking program that calculates tautomers on the fly.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the insightful comments. The article is inspired by the fact that frequently computational chemists ignore tautomers.ReplyDelete
This discussion will continue with a special JCAMD Perspective issue of invited papers on tautomers. It should appear sometime mid-2010.
In addition, Terry Stouch and I are organizing a symposium on tautomers for the Fall 2010 ACS meeting in Boston. Please consider submitting an abstract if you have experience on the topic or attending the symposium to learn more.
Thanks very much for your note. I will indeed consider attending the symposium and if possible, submitting an abstract.ReplyDelete

The present invention is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 10/789,774, filed Feb. 27, 2004, and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
The present invention relates generally to analog circuits, and in particular low dropout linear regulators and systems which incorporate low dropout linear regulators.
Most linear regulators have feedback which needs some type of stability compensation, either external or internal compensation. To obtain more precise voltage regulation, larger gain is required which inherently makes the feedback less stable. These two trade-offs, large gain and stability, create a design challenge. Other design considerations require low current, reduced silicon area, and good power supply rejection. Many techniques have been implemented for stability compensation. The following patents constitute a sampling of conventional solutions: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,908,566, 5,168,209, 5,637,992, 5,648,718, 5,744,944, 5,850,139, 5,945,818, 5,982,226, and 6,522,112. All of these techniques use some type of internal zero compensation.
The P0 pole in
In essence there are many places where secondary poles can exist. As in
The other traditional method of stability compensation is to rely on the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the load capacitor. The ESR of the load capacitor can provide a compensating zero to offset the extra pole in the feedback typically from the amplifier stage. The issue with relying on the ESR of the capacitor is there can be a narrow range of ESR values allowed for a given design.
There is need for an integrated linear regulator have relatively large gain while maintaining stability, with reduced chip layout area and reduced power consumption.
The present invention is directed to a linear regulator and circuits incorporating a linear regulator. A typical linear circuit according to the invention includes an external pass transistor that does not rely on internal compensation, provides high gain, and exhibits reduced silicon area and power requirements. Circuits according to the present invention provide sufficient bandwidth with an error amplifier and drive capability to keep any secondary poles sufficiently far from the unity gain bandwidth (UGB) while maintaining good power supply rejection. In accordance with the invention operation of the circuit does not rely on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the load capacitor.
Aspects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the invention presented in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Circuits embodied in accordance with the present invention keep the secondary poles beyond the UGB. See
Referring to
A resistor R1 is coupled between a second voltage source VDD1 and the drain of T1 at a node V2. Transistor device T2 is configured as a source follower, having a gate terminal that is connected to the node V2 and a source terminal that is connected to a current source represented schematically as IS. The source terminal of T2 is also coupled to Ib flowing at a node V3. Typical devices used for transistor device T2 include, but are not limited to, P-type FET's (field effect transistors), N-type FET's, NPN BJT's (bipolar junction transistors), and PNP BJT's.
A pass circuit comprising element Tpass has a control terminal that is connected to the node V3. The voltage source VDD1 is connected to a first terminal of the pass element Tpass. The pass element can be any of a number of transistor devices such as a BJT. Though, the embodiment illustrated in
A second terminal of the pass element Tpass is coupled to an output node Vout to provide a regulated voltage to a load. A compensating capacitor C1 is coupled across the load. An equivalent series inductance (ESL) of the capacitor is schematically represented. A feedback path from the output node Vout to the node Vf is provided through the voltage divider network formed by a pair of resistors Rf.
In operation, a circuit according to the invention operates to drive the base node V3 such that the bandwidth at that node is high enough to place a pole beyond the UGB. This ensures stability of the circuit while providing efficient operation for low quiescent current and good power supply rejection. Referring to the illustrative circuit according to the invention, shown in
As noted above, the transistor device T2 is configured as a source follower and thus operates as a low output impedance gain stage to provide a low impedance drive to node V3. Current source IS provides a bias current to T2 that is substantially less than the base current, Ib. The voltage source VDD1 provides a current to the pass transistor Tpass and a common voltage reference to R1. It is noted that the voltage source VDD2 does not have to be the same potential as VDD1. However, in a particular embodiment of the invention VDD2 can be the same potential as VDD1.
The compensating capacitor C1 provides the pole P0 (see
Another advantage with this configuration is that the source follower acts as a gain stage with an output impedance that decreases with an increase in load current. The current flow through transistor device T2 increases as the current draw through the load increases. This in turn decreases the output resistance of T2 thus increasing the bandwidth of node V3. More bandwidth at V3 is needed during higher current loads because the pole at Vout increases as well with higher current loads. So the poles at V3 and Vout track each other despite the load change. This is a desirable characteristic because it ensures stability during high current loads.
IS is a small current to keep transistor device T2 turned ON when no base current is needed during low current demands of the load. The current IS serves as a replacement current when Ib becomes very small during a low loading conditions, to ensure a bias current through the source follower while allowing the pass element Tpass to shut off. This aspect of the invention ensures low quiescent power consumption.
R1 is used to set a normal bias point for node V2 in the linear operating range of Tpass and to keep the pole at a frequency sufficiently higher than the UGB to ensure stable operation. The resistor R1 is also used to keep the power supply rejection of the linear regulator low. If VDD1 changes, node V2 will track this movement and force V3 to move in the same manner to keep the base-emitter voltage of Tpass constant. As noted above, VDD2 and VDD1 could be the same potential, but can be different if the voltage VDD2 for the OpAmp needs to be larger or smaller than VDD1.
A key aspect of the invention, as embodied in the illustrative circuit of
As a final observation, consideration with any linear regulator of the equivalent series inductance (ESL) needs to be understood. The resonance of the capacitor C1 is determined by the capacitance and ESL. The resonance of the capacitor should be chosen to be higher than the UGB.
Generally, a linear voltage regulator circuit according to the present invention, can be used in many electronic circuits which require a regulated voltage.
A linear regulator circuit 502 in accordance with the present invention is provided to control the pass element 504. The voltage nodes of 502 correspond to the same nodes as
Providing VDD2 separate from VDD1 allows a lower voltage to be used for the pass element than for the opamp. For example, VDD2=3.3V is a typical power supply voltage for an opamp. However, typical HDD electronics can be driven at a lower voltage of 2.5 V. Thus, setting VDD1 to 2.5 V provides about a 0.8V drop in HDD supply voltage levels with corresponding drops in power loss and heat dissipation.

LDS author Dean Hughes marks his 100th published book
Jeremy Harmon, Deseret News archives
Utah author Dean Hughes' first published book was for children. Titled "Under the Same Stars," it was about the early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Jackson County, Mo., near where Hughes and his family were living at the time in 1979.
This year, his 100th book, "Through Cloud and Sunshine" (Deseret Book, $25.99), the second volume in the Come to Zion series, rolled off the presses.
"It's been a way to make a living that I've loved," Hughes said of writing.
The 70-year-old author doesn't have plans to stop writing.
His writing career has included sports, humor, historical fiction, nonfiction and books for a variety of reading levels, from series for beginning and middle-grade readers to adults.
"I've never really stuck with one thing," Hughes said of the genre of books with his byline.
Hughes has worked with several publishers, those that cater to the LDS niche, including Deseret Book, and those who have a broader audience, including imprints for Random House and Simon and Schuster.
"The first book that got accepted — it was an enormous thrill," said Hughes, who wanted to be a writer since junior high and had also taught university-level English. "Then you start to realize that a lot people do this."
It was a children's literature class in college that put him on the path to writing middle-grade books, which included several series.
Through his writing career, he has gravitated toward historical fiction and has written the Children of the Promise and Hearts of the Children series, set in World War II era, and the recent Come to Zion series that parallels newlywed and pioneer couples.
"I'm fascinated by the topics I've written about," Hughes said of Mormon history and World War II. "I love the research part of historical fiction."
'Through Cloud and Sunshine'
His 100th book, "Through Cloud and Sunshine," continues the parallel stories of young couples Will and Liz Lewis, as they make their home in pioneer-era Nauvoo, Ill., and their descendant Jeff and his wife, Abby, as they live in modern-day Nauvoo.
The Come to Zion series started with "The Winds and the Waves" where both men, Will, then in England, and Jeff, in the United States, faced employment challenges. Jeff, a lifelong member of the LDS Church, and Abby, a convert and only Mormon in her family, moved to Nauvoo after Jeff became unemployed. There they could live in a home of a couple serving a mission elsewhere for free while renovating and updating it.
"I want to show the parallel of any young person or any young couple in time is that the basic human emotions don't change that much," Hughes said of the 417-page novel. "Deep down, we're human and we're going to go through the same emotional experiences."
Both are struggling to start their families and both women have complications with their pregnancies. Both Will and Jeff struggle with their faith as they want to bless their families along with protecting and providing for them. Both are asked to serve in ways that challenge them — Will is called to serve a mission during the winter months, having to leave his wife and young children for several months, and Jeff is called to serve in his ward's elders quorum presidency — and both recognize their shortcomings.
"Will and Jeff are versions of myself. You can't help but do that as a writer," Hughes said. "Doubt is a big part of their lives. You join the church and then wonder about (things), like can I have the faith to heal?"
They don't just absolutely believe everything and have absolute faith at all times.

John Hanna visits the YoCream International yogurt shop on Cascades Parkway on weekends to get a cup of Original Tart, banter with the manager, introduce himself to customers as YoCream's CEO and ask if they're having a good time. The 69-year-old self-identified "Portland boy" is as delighted by his customers as they are by his yogurt; he marvels that jocks and military servicemen line up for the stuff along with high school girls and moms on the way back from the gym. "When we first started this frozen yogurt thing, the slogan was 'real men don't eat yogurt,'" he says. "Now you go into our YoCream showroom here and there are men of all ages! The guys are enjoying it!"
In the yogurt shop, Hanna is buoyant and gregarious; in the conference room, he's deliberate and prone to long pauses. He's an accountant by training; YoCream was a "side investment" that took over his life in 1976 after the company's first yogurt shop in Seattle broke even in five weeks. The frozen yogurt craze that inspired Hanna and his two brothers to found YoCream inspired competitors, but most went bankrupt or shifted their attention to other products after the trend died. Hanna stuck with frozen yogurt — true frozen yogurt, which has live cultures of beneficial bacteria called probiotics — and pushed for more flavors. When cheerfully decorated fro-yo shops boomed again in the 2000s, YoCream was the only manufacturer ready to respond to the sudden demand, he says.
YoCream is now a $42 million company with clients as large as Sysco, Costco and Jack in the Box. It just completed a $4 million expansion — on the heels of a $7.5 million expansion completed in 2007 — that doubled capacity at its plant in Portland. Hanna expects the interest in frozen yogurt to keep building as more people learn about it, and YoCream is already considering a second plant on the East Coast. Demand is rising internationally, too; Hanna went to Japan last month to discuss the Japanese and Chinese markets with a prospective distributor. YoCream, which is traded on the Pink Sheets, just posted its 13th consecutive quarter of sales growth in August.
The 32-year-old company had its awkward growth stages: an early transition from franchisor to manufacturer, an IPO in 1987, delisting after Sarbanes-Oxley in 2006, and diversification into frozen beverages after a year-long internal debate. But it's flourished rapidly with the yogurt resurgence. "We're responding to this growth without really a hiccup," Hanna says, referring to the trusted management team he consults on every matter, an echo of the days when he and his brothers ruled the company by consensus.
Outside advisers and the board of directors were leery of the new structure. "They said, 'That can't work, you need a pyramid, blah blah blah,'" Hanna says. But the structure proved effective and refreshing. "The right team was on the bus," he says. The six senior managers have non-hierarchical titles, roughly the same compensation, and get equal bonuses based on communal goals. The sales department also adopted communal bonuses.
The company is so democratic that Hanna can't remember who had the idea for its latest innovation, High Culture Frozen Yogurt. Released in June, it contains a strain of bacteria proven to aid digestion. High Culture has 1 billion Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM cultures per serving, 100 times what is needed to earn the Live & Active Cultures seal from the National Yogurt Association. Hanna is banking on the increasing public awareness of probiotics, which pop up more and more in his conversations with customers in yogurt shops.
To Hanna, High Culture Frozen Yogurt is a smart investment and a social good: Yogurt is healthy, yogurt shops are happy places and all this is profitable. He prefers Original Tart, no toppings, because it reminds him of the yogurt his mom cooked on the stove when he was a kid. He has no plans to retire. "I'm having fun," he says. "My health is good. I eat a lot of yogurt."

According to air traffic control (ATC) audio recordings, a tower controller cleared an airplane for takeoff about 23 seconds after a UH-60 helicopter was cleared for takeoff from a midfield location. The tower controller ensured that a runway separation standard of 3,000 feet was present and did not give a wake turbulence advisory. The flight instructor reported that she was aware of the helicopter's takeoff and that she perceived adequate separation from the helicopter. The flight instructor incorrectly identified the helicopter as a Bell UH-1, which weighs less than the UH-60. Shortly after takeoff, the airplane encountered the wake vortex of the helicopter and entered a steep left bank. The flight instructor attempted to counteract the left roll with full right aileron inputs, but she was unable to maintain control. The airplane impacted terrain near midfield and came to rest inverted. A review of ATC audio recordings and airplane performance data revealed that the airplane trailed the helicopter by about 48 to 63 seconds at the midfield location and was about 150 to 200 feet above ground level when it encountered the helicopter's wake vortex. Current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ATC guidance does not require specific wake turbulence separation criteria for a small airplane following a helicopter nor does it require a controller to give a wake turbulence advisory for a small airplane following a helicopter. Current FAA pilot guidance, including the Airman's Information Manual and an advisory circular on aircraft wake turbulence, also do not recommend separation criteria for a small airplane following a helicopter. After the accident, the FAA issued amended guidance for wake turbulence hazards to pilots and air traffic controllers, including specific wake turbulence separation criteria between small airplanes and helicopters.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Bestselling Author Lauren Royal Releases Bargain-Priced 'Boxed Set' of Three eBook Novels
Everyone loves a good deal, and just in time for Valentine's Day, here's one for the 74.8 million people who read romance. Internationally bestselling historical romance author Lauren Royal, whose books appeared on Top 100 lists in 27 different countries last year, has just released The Temptations Trilogy, three complete Regency-set novels in a single, specially priced ebook.
Royal's award-winning ebooks are already a value at just $3.99 each. However, this new boxed set of Lost in Temptation, Tempting Juliana, and The Art of Temptation, complete with author's notes, is just $9.99 at Kobo and all other major ebook stores online.
Set in England from 1815 to 1817, The Temptations Trilogy tells the stories of Griffin Chase and his three younger sisters, Alexandra, Juliana, and Corinna. As the new Marquess of Cainewood, Griffin is desperate to marry them off. He never thought he'd be a matchmaking mama, and his sisters aren't at all sure they appreciate his efforts. "But with the help of an heirloom recipe book," Royal says, "they discover that cooking up a little magic can be seductive!"
Each book includes several genuine recipes from the Regency era, and Royal has modern versions posted on her website at www.LaurenRoyal.com. "Readers love trying the recipes," she says. "They each come with a family legend, such as Ratafia Puffs, which make men fall in love, and Lemon Cakes, which ease melancholy." In the back of every book, Royal includes a link to an online contest where readers can enter to win a piece of jewelry associated with the story.
Lauren Royal's ten novels have won numerous awards including the Golden Quill and Booklist's Top 10 Romance of the Year. Her ebooks are available at Kobo and other major retailers. For more information and to see the book cover, visit www.LaurenRoyal.com or sign up for her email newsletter.

Money and rare metal vanished
Hey community, Recently i bought some ingame money and rare metal. A week later or so my iphone crashed - i made a backup and now i wanted to play Battleship Craft again. Problem: All my ships have gone AND ALL THE PURCHASED MONEY. I'm sure i had 400k+/15 rare metal ingame money. Even the ships are gone, everything! Any Idea how i can get them back? I cant find any support so wtf, guess they wont give me my purchased items or money back. Greetings
Answer from: The answer
You cant. Once you have backed up or deleted your battleship craft app, you can't get anything back and they all are gone(same thing to me). I think that the app had warned us in the first time we opened it (or is it in the help section).
Answer from: rth1131999
You can get it back but you have two things, one, you the latest iOS version, and two, you need to erase all content and settings. When you are in the spot that saids you got one of three choices, start from scratch(don't press if you're restoring, or you'll have to reset all over again), restore from iCloud(if you've backed it up, choose this), or restore from apple ID. If you've chose the one listed and click the latest backup, you will get EVERYTHING back, ships and all(note you will have to reput the code for the wireless Internet systems you've put in, but other than that you will get everything back).
Answer from: Lone Wolf
Once an app gets deleted there no memory of what was on the first app so your kinda scruded it even warns before you delete one that all the info on it will be gone. Sorry man you'll just have to deal same thing happened to me.
Answer from: Aaron
All are right if you example delete your favorite game you will start what you will build and collect money that you wish and never delete again your game if you download it
Answer from: Markshark014
It wont let me purchase money in battleship craft

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Memphis Airport Hotel & Conference Center
Layout Nightmare
The strangest layout of any hotel I have ever stayed in. Rooms were average at best and hotel staff was friendly. Pool was dirty and impossible to find. Wouldn't ever stay there again, in bad part of town (security guards and gates to hotel). A very disappointing hotel.
OK if you can't get anthing better
Pretty variable service - some of the front desk staff were really REALLY rude - one seemed to try to deal with customers without actually speaking! I asked if there was a restaurant nearby and had a shake of the head as the silent reply and on another occasion I asked about some luggage that was being delivered for me and was answered by a silent pointing finger. It sounds rediculous but it's quite true.
The room was OK and they have WiFi which was a nice value ad. Exercise room seemed pretty well equipped but the pool was outdoors and unheated.
Although the external doors to the accommodation were equipped with key card locks the place seemed a bit insecure for some reason - perhaps some brighter lighting might help.
It's probably an OK place if you can't get anything better, but I would look hard for somewhere else if I was going again.
Loved It!!!
I thought the Hotel was great! The room was very clean, and the Hotel Staff were the friendliest. I will stay here again.
Dont Book It
Room had a bad smell.
The layout is chronic.
The cleaners seem to be there all the time filling the trolleys (02:45 !!) and chatting - not cleaning.
Arrived late at night in torrential rain and would not have stayed if I'd had the energy to find an alternative.
Couldn't get out fast enough.
SELECT ? do yourself a favor a select a different hotel
I'm not a fussy person, however this hotel has some real issues.
Let me try to start with a few positives. I would say that this hotel is somewhat centrally located. It was easy enough to find downtown and Beale Street as well as Graceland on the way out of town going south 55. Parking was adequate and free. The room size is pretty standard for the Holiday Inn genre. The "rock wall" room was somewhat impressive and interesting to observe.
Ok, here we go. Cleanliness was NOT good. There were several hairs in and around the room...esp the bathroom. My wife cleaned the shower before she used it because it was so dirty. Also, the toilet paper dispenser in the bathroom simply fell out of the wall onto the floor.
So, I removed the roll of t-paper and set in on the counter for the rest of our stay. The mattresses on the double beds were AWFUL. The springs in the mattress made that metal "twing" sound when you laid down. I swear I could feel the springs through the sheets. The heat/ac unit was minimally adequate. I'm just glad it made enough noise to help drown out all the other noise. The exterior window was laughable. I'm not sure how it would keep a driving rain out. i.e. We could clearly hear ground floor conversations outside the hotel like they were in our room. ( and we were on the 3rd floor! ) And when a jet takes OFF!!
WOW!! We kept joking around yelling, "pull up!! pull up!!"
I hope you like LONG walks as well because if you are unfortunate enough to get a room near the end of the hotel it is about a 200-300 ft. walk back to the only elevators in the building. They put the elevators in the middle to save money, I would assume. Also, the bellman cart does NOT fit in the tiny elevators. I had to lift the end of it over and try to squeeze in just to get the door to shut. Also from what I could tell there is NO hotel security other than a few cameras.
Overall there is no way I could recommend this hotel. Again, I am not a very fussy or nitt-picky person, however this hotel needs a major facelift. (i.e. bulldozer) Maybe if you could stay here for $25-35 a night the price-to-value ratio would be more in line with what this hotel offers.
We won't be chillin' at this Holiday Inn again any time soon.
we stayed here twice, my sister and i enjoyed our room, it was pretty nice size. Our first stay was elvis week, so there was much to do and alot of excitement. our second time was much quieter, Room service was exspensive!!! we couldn't find a ny coffee nowhere. And it cost a a fortune for a tour co. to take us back and forth.
I Will Never Come Back AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I really am disappointed about my stay at this particular hotel. There rooms were somewhat distasteful. The food in the resturant/room service were extremely to high. When I did deceide to eat in the resturant, i was nearly attacked by a dozen of fruit flies. I also saw a roach crawling on the floor in the resturant. The ladies at the front desk are really rude. When i called to tell them my remote was not working, they lied and said someone was on there way,(They showed up 6 hours later). I did not particularly like the fact that they had a wedding reception going on outside my room while my 3 month old daughter was trying to get some sleep. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to the president of the United States. Thank God I lived through this tragedy.
Very dissapointing
I've had more than 20 stays at this hotel due to my business trips. So far I had 2 incidents of fire alarm went off in the middle of night, and hotel could not find the reason so they had to knock on everybody's door to find the source. I had seen roaches in the room more than twice, and when I called the front desk to report the problem, they sent to someone to catch the roach but they never sprayed the room, or apologized or offered any comp(switching room or free breakfast). Once I had a very nasty toilet and they had to send someone to clean it but they told me it was because they were out of water for couple of days.
The normal waiting time for the van is 20 minutes (the hotel is about 5 minutes away from the airport), and I once talked to a guest who was waiting for the van more than 2 hours. They have a business center at the lobby, but internet works only about half of the time. I have seen the computer was infected by virus because they allowed access to the hard disk to anybody. The front desk people are unprofessional, and I finally had to ask my company to change the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Somewhat disappointing
After reading all of the glowing reviews on the web regarding the Holiday Inn Select - Memphis Airport and looking forward to staying there, I was a bit disappointed with my visit. They do not offer a free continental breakfast like most other hotels do now and their restaurant / room service prices are fairly high. They only offer 22 TV channels when most other hotels offer 60-70 channels. The lobby ATM charges $2.95 per transaction which is ridiculously high. Our room was nice, but not worth the $95 per night that we paid. Also didn't like the way one of the desk clerks called us back to the registration desk halfway across the lobby to tell us we wern't eligible for the Holiday Inn "Free Dinner" promo after she processed everything and sent us on our way.
Lovely, but confusing
This was a really nice, quiet, clean hotel (lovely decor and atriums)....but the layout was a disaster.
We couldn't find the pool!
On the 3rd floor of the main part of the hotel there is a sign with an arrow that says pool. It points down a walkway that connects the front part of the hotel
with the "executive" part. It puts you in the hallway/atrium of the 3rd floor of that building with no pool and no more signs. We asked FOUR, count em, FOUR different people who all gave us different directions and none of them right. We had been driving for hours coming home from New Orlean's and I had promised these kids a POOL!
We gave up and went to dinner. Finally, we were in the parking lot getting another piece of luggage out of our vehicle and could hear water splashing and kids squealing. We walked, and walked to the rear of the hotel. The pool was located at the very back of the property with no entry/exit from inside the hotel. There were no windows or doors overlooking the pool area! We had to cross at the 3rd floor, take the stairs down to the first floor, go allll the way to the end of the hallway, make a right, go alll the way down THAT hallway, out the door into the PARKING LOT, then around the corner through a gate with a card reader. There are no bathrooms anywhere NEAR the pool, I had to take the kids most of the way back to the room to use the restroom by the restaurant...which had decent food, by the way. :) It was just extremely inconvenient and annoying. We were glad we were only going to be there the one night.
I would recommend it if access to a pool is low on your priority list.

Travel Blogs from Memphis
... Would recommend that nobody ever misses visiting Graceland if they go to Memphis.
In the afternoon we had a beer at Boogie St Bar at famous Beale St. We walked up and down the street soaking up the atmosphere. We then went to PIG Pork with Attitude Diner and had Southern Ribs and salad.
We had such a wonderful day at Graceland and Beale St. Both very memorable.
Via Houston, coming home
I spent the morning doing some work, then drove out to the Memphis airport (which was a very easy drive on a Sunday morning). My flights were all more or less on time. The club at IAH was nearly empty ... can tell it's not a day for business travel, but the airport itself felt crowded. Arrived home and caught BART, which was the source of most delays on my trip home. Tried a new restaurant ... the amuse bouche was the best part of the ...

There's plenty of conspiracy theories as to who was responsible, but it was James Earl Ray who ...
