Wikipedia, the twelfth most popular website in the world, has been the subject of wildfire speculation about its future since Thursday.
Florence Devouard told the LIFT07 conference that the site currently has enough money left to pay the bills for three months. In blogworld, that quickly Chinese-whispered into "Wikipedia could close in three months".
Journalist and blogger Bruno Giussani was at the conference, and clarified the situation in a conversation with Devouard yesterday. She said that there is enough in the bank for three-to-four months and that she is not worried about the future. She didn't say anything about the site closing, but that these issues are normal for any fast-growing organisation.
Its 5.3m articles may have been produced by volunteers, but bandwidth costs have increased with the traffic from $5000 per month in 2005 to between $60-$100,000 each month this year.
The site has 350 servers - costs for hardware are projected to be $1m this year.
There are now ten employees, though there was only one in 2005.
Advertising is not an option, and contributors in the US and Europe are particularly against commercialising the site.
So that leaves the site dependent on donations, and a small amount from royalties and info used on other websites. The site raised $1m for 2005 and needs to raise $5m this year, with donations currently at about $30-40,000 per month.
Guissani concluded that Devouard has made a legitimate and serious call for support, but did not say that the site would disappear any time soon. So everyone can relax now.
(Almost) live video web ads
The online ad campaign for Jim Carrey's new horror film "The Number 23" features nearly-live streamed video from two Washington bars on Friday night, and a dedicated YouTube channel.
DoubleClick installed two confession booths with video cameras in the bars and lined up a queue of customers to spend a few minutes revealing their own bizarre confessions, which included surviving fantasies of car crash on a bridge and a woman who had fallen in love with another woman.
An editing team scanned for obscenities and dull bits, and the most recent videos were streamed to the New Line Cinema ads although a few teething problems caused a 45-minute delay.
As this NYTimes piece says, live advertising is still a novel concept, with recent experiments including a tech conference that was broadcast into Sun Microsystems ads. These "experiential" ads are an attempt to engage a younger audience with a more compelling format, and agencies can charge far higher rates for these creative experiments.
Rates tend to be based on the amount of time a user spends watching the ad, rather than the traditional measurements per view or per click. Many advertisers are more comfortable with online video because it is more like TV.
"This is the closest the Internet has come yet to replicating television. Many of the largest advertisers on TV and in print publications have been slow to move much of their ad spending online, but ad executives said online video may change that."
MySpace steps up copyright protection
MySpace is introducing software that will allow major copyright holders to block uploads of their video content, reports Reuters.
This is an extension of a similar system for music rights holders, developed by Audible Magic. It works by scanning video and creating a digital audio signature of the piece. If users try to upload content with the same signature, the upload will be blocked.
The service will be voluntary so that companies will be abel to upload copyrighted material themselves if they choose to. MySpace's video section is doing its best to compete with YouTube and Google Video, and will be hoping that this new level of control will appeal to the TV and film studios. The timing is almost certainly not a coincidence: last week YouTube was forced to remove more than 100,000 Viacom clips, again.
That includes the Daily Show, alas.
Time Inc joins the web video thing
Time Inc announced a new studio today that will be dedicated to producing web video, and will also be working with Brightcove on production and ad sales, reports USAToday. Time publishes 130 magazines including Fortune and Sports Ullustrated, and is likely to use video where appropriate to highlight popular columnists, and features including Time's Person of the year.

UKIP's leader on Thurrock Council missed a court appearance for drink driving because he was convalescing in hospital with pneumonia.
Councillor Robert Ray, 65, was due to appear at Basildon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday accused of driving while more than twice over the drink drive limit following a party fundraiser at Orsett Hall.
However, the clerk informed the court a letter had been received from Orsett Hospital stating he could not attend the hearing as he was presently a patient there.
Mr Ray, of Purfleet Road, Aveley, confirmed by telephone he had been in hospital since June 25 after experiencing difficulty breathing that day, following a week of flu-like symptoms, which were on Monday diagnosed as pneumonia.
"I started to feel the effects of what I considered to be flu about a week before," he said.
"But it soon started to get out of control and by Wednesday I could just about get my breath.
"It could have been sorted today (the court case) but they didn't want to risk it flaring up again."
Mr Ray is accused of driving a silver Peugeot 406 in Orsett Hall car park in the early hours of June 13 with 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the limit is 35.
He has been an Aveley and Uplands councillor since May 2012 and leads the six-strong group of UKIP councillors following the party's success in the local election.
The hearing was adjourned until July 22.

Saving The Past
A veterans organization is getting a nearly $48,000 grant from the federal government to map and preserve a Revolutionary War site.
Officials with the American Legion Post 703 in the Washington County town of Fort Anne say the grant from the National Park Service will allow the organization to do an archaeological survey on Battle Hill.
The survey could be followed by an archaeological dig at the rural site located 55 miles northeast of Albany. British forces from Canada defeated a Continental Army contingent at Fort Ann in July 1777.
The American Legion post applied for the grant after the Connecticut businessman who owns property sought permission to use the site as a mine.

Misfiring under load - KNOCK SENSOR!

Misfiring under load - KNOCK SENSOR!
I did a lot to track this down, discussion on this thread..
..but today it is solved - I disconnected the knock sensor and the stumble/misfire at freeway speeds under load (like going uphill) is gone. I've ordered a new knock sensor but driving around I don't detect any issue for now with the sensor disconnected.
I think for any e39 over 150K mi, I recommend at least to disconnect the sensor to see if some power is restored in the 3-4K rpm range. This problem started maybe 10-20K miles ago, at first at 3500 rpm and then most recently it happened under less load and at lower revs down to around 2800rpm.
Here's my story, may help others:
>Did easy misfire DIY first - swapped coils between cylinders and put in new plugs, and checked old plugs for signs of misfire.
>Changed the bank 2 pre-cat O2 sensor because I could see dynamically on the code reader it was lazy
>Swapped in a spare CPS and vanos solenoid, no change. Note in doing this it's easier if you take off the oil filter cap to get more room.
>Pulled the fuel rail and swapped out the FPR and injectors with another 528i, no change. Also cleaned the injectors in ultrasonic with 70% alcohol/water.
>Swapped in spare MAF
>Then I realized I could check the STFT trims in real time. I could see that I was not having a lean condition (as happens if MAF dirty or non-metered air getting in via any intake boot crack), rather STFT's were fine even under load. I did notice that when it stumbled the timing advance would drop from +30 degrees (typical at frwy speeds) in quick drops to say 27 degrees. I attributed this to knocking, but now I realize it was the knock sensor sending a false signal. Appears that under load the ECU is interpreting a bad knock sensor signal as a knock.
>Then disconnected a lot of things all at the same time - MAF, Vanos, both pre-cat O2's. Problem persisted.
>Finally, with everything connected again, I disconnected only the knock sensor. The plug is under the intake manifold next to cylinder 4. I did not need to remove the intake. Rather took off the bolts to the PS fluid reservoir, removed the oil filter cap, removed the +12V bolt on the intake and pushed the 12V socket down below the intake. In this way I could reach under the intake and pull off the knock sensor connector. Driving around, I'm still expecting to see a CEL for missing knock sensor, but I drove once so far for about 20min under various loads/speeds, no CEL yet.
One of the replies earlier suggested I replace the knock sensor. Whoever that was, thank you.

Reversal of a Guilty Plea
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
Reversal of a Guilty Plea
Reversing a guilty plea is a legal issue that has been cast into the public spotlight recently, as a result of Idaho Senator Larry Craig's seeking to reverse his guilty plea of disorderly conduct. As the Craig case shows (he was unsuccessful), the principle of finality, as a general rule, prevents people who have pled guilty to a crime by signing plea papers from taking that plea back. If reversal of a final judgment were easy, then everyone would try it.
Reasons for Reversing a Guilty Plea
However, several arguments can be made for reversing a guilty plea. Laws exist in a number of states permitting reversal in order to ensure that the defendant is not wrongly convicted and is not denied the chance to have a jury trial.
Minnesota law, for example, allows a plea "withdrawal" upon "a timely motion" and proof of a "manifest injustice." Even after a final judgment has been entered and a sentence imposed, the defendant is still allowed to move to reverse without appealing.
Proving Injustice
Defendants then need to prove injustice. They can argue that they were not of "sound mind" or were otherwise incapacitated when they signed the plea bargain. They can claim they did not understand ("were not intelligent of") all of the consequences of signing the plea. Defendants may claim the arrest procedures were improper, such as officers' not informing defendants of their rights. They can say that the evidence does not support the elements of the crime to which they pleaded guilty.
Duress and Undue Influence
Defendants can argue that they were under duress, undue influence, or even panic when they agreed to sign the plea bargain. For example, police may threaten to make allegations of past crimes public or may threaten to charge the defendants with more heinous crimes. Consequences of pleading not guilty may be severe, such as never seeing your children again.
Should I Contact a Criminal Defense Attorney?
If you or someone you know would like to take action to reverse a guilty, you should consult a criminal law attorney.

When to use the emergency room - adult
Whenever an illness or injury occurs, you need to decide how serious it is and how soon to get medical care.This will help you choose whether it is best to call your doctor, go to an urgent care clinic, or go to an emergency department right away.
It pays to think about the right place to go.Treatment in an emergency department can cost 2 - 3 times more than the same care in your doctor's office.Think about this and the other issues listed below when deciding.
Signs of an Emergency
How quickly do you need care?If a person or unborn baby could die or be permanently disabled, it is an emergency.
Call 911 to have the emergency team come to you right away if you cannot wait, such as for:
- Choking
- Stopped breathing
- Head injury with passing out, fainting, or confusion
- Injury to neck or spine, especially if there is loss of feeling or inability to move
- Electric shock or lightning strike
- Severe burn
- Seizure that lasted 3 - 5 minutes
Go to an emergency department or call 911 for help for problems such as:
- Trouble breathing
- Passing out, fainting
- Severe chest pain or pressure
- Pain in the arm or jaw
- Unusual or bad headache, especially if it started suddenly
- Suddenly not able to speak, see, walk, or move
- Suddenly weak or drooping on one side of the body
- Dizziness or weakness that does not go away
- Inhaled smoke or poisonous fumes
- Sudden confusion
- Heavy bleeding
- Possible broken bone, loss of movement, especially if the bone is pushing through the skin
- Deep wound
- Serious burn
- Coughing or throwing up blood
- Severe pain anywhere on the body
- Severe allergic reaction with trouble breathing, swelling, hives
- High fever with headache and stiff neck
- High fever that doesn't get better with medicine
- Throwing up or loose stools that don't stop
- Poisoning or overdose of drug or alcohol
- Suicidal thoughts
- Seizures
When to Go to an Urgent Care Clinic
When you have a problem, do not wait too long to get medical care.If your problem is not life threatening or risking disability, but you are concerned and you cannot see your doctor soon enough, go to an urgent care clinic.
The kinds of problems an urgent care clinic can deal with include:
- Common illnesses, such as colds, the flu, earaches, sore throats, migraines, low-grade fevers. and limited rashes
- Minor injuries, such as sprains, back pain, minor cuts and burns, minor broken bones, or minor eye injuries
If You're Not Sure, Talk to Someone
If you are not sure what to do, and you don't have one of the serious conditions listed above, call your doctor.If the office is not open, your phone call will be forwarded to someone.Describe your symptoms to the doctor who answers your call, and find out what you should do.
Your doctor or health insurance company may also offer a nurse telephone advice hotline.Call this number and tell the nurse your symptoms for advice on what to do.
Prepare Now
Before you have a medical problem, learn what your choices are.Check the website of your health insurance company.Put these telephone numbers in the memory of your phone:
- Your doctor
- The closest emergency department
- Nurse telephone advice line
- Urgent care clinic
- Walk-in clinic

Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon's op-ed, "Now is the time for critical tax increase" (Opinion, Nov. 18), on the financial state of Salt Lake County, is well-reasoned and compelling. I have admired Corroon's business acumen and judgment for years, as he effectively and efficiently led the county's government.
Once again, I found myself nodding in agreement with his arguments until I got to the county needing "$1.9 million to fund our other post-employment benefits like health insurance for retirees."
Have our county's leaders had their heads in the sand regarding benefit trends for the past 10 years? Thousands of companies have eliminated post-65 health insurance for retirees, and many have also eliminated pre-65 health insurance to reduce overhead expenses.
Given the Affordable Care Act and Medicare, this item is certainly an unnecessary expense that we citizens don't need to support with a tax increase. I am tired of hearing about benefit packages for public employees that far outstrip those of employees in the private sector.
Trimming this line item from the budget will not balance the books, but it will lower the general fund tax increase.

For the most part, our blind trust in those devices is well placed. These situations are rare, and based on the sheer quantity of similar parts in our infrastructures, their reliability and stability is quite impressive. We work with operating systems of various flavors across our servers, hypervisors, switches, routers, and firewalls. We push bits around at a high level to force the lowest-level code to do our bidding. When you muck about with the configuration of a core switch, you're manipulating the levers that lead to the code running on those ASICs. If that baseline code is not tight and bug-free, problems occur and reality begins to warp.
That, right there, is the crux of the issue. We've all come across problems that appear to defy physics and threaten our very understanding of network construction and behavior. Problems that evade the pathways of our fundamental understanding of how things work are the worst of all. They might be as challenging as the one Kristian faced and require days or weeks of sleuthing to uncover, or they may be as simple and maddening as introduced licensing restrictions that go unnoticed, causing a network device to behave in bizarre, yet purposefully crafted ways. (If you ever run into a problem where you have intermittent host connectivity through a firewall that follows no discernable pattern, yet seemingly resolves after hours when you have time to work on it, do yourself a favor and check if the firewall has internal host count restrictions.)
When all is said and done, it pays to remember if you're facing a problem that defies all known laws of networking, you might be looking at a problem that lies in a place you can't access or repair. All you can do is work to identify the culprit and hold the manufacturer's feet to the fire until you receive a fix.
Sherlock Holmes said it best: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

A Queensland police officer has been stood down while an investigation into alleged use of excessive force was underway.
In a statement, the Queensland Police Service said the male constable, 29, was being investigated over four separate incidents between September 2014 and January.
The constable was the second constable from the QPS's South Eastern Region to be stood down this year.
In January, a 49-year-old male constable was stood down for drink-driving while off duty along with "other work matters".

In addition to a thorough introduction to frontotemporal dementias, The Association for Frontotemporal Dementias provides specific diagnostic and clinical information for a variety of disorders, including Pick's Disease and progressive aphasia.
In addition to publishing a newsletter and hosting email support groups for care-givers and spouses of Lewy Body Dementia patients, the LBDA Web site contains patient care tips and links to scientific journal articles about LBD.
This page provides a succinct description of Lewy Body Dementia, as well as information about clinical trials.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and strokes briefly describes Pick's Disease and provides links to relevant clinical trials.
This University of California, San Francisco site offers information on different forms of dementia, along with healthy aging and memory.
(Read Q&A with Lary C. Walker Ph.D.)Studying how proteins such as PrP, amyloid beta, tau, and others aggregate and spread, and kill brain cells, represents a crucial new frontier in neuroscience for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, CTE, and ALS.
Recent research provides strong evidence that
pollutants cause harms, and suggests underlying pathways and mechanisms.
Purpose in Life (PIL) is a research area that focuses on the interactions between mind and body and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, and spiritual factors can directly affect health. It links the belief that your life has meaning and purpose to a robust and persistently improved physiological health outcome—particularly as a way to treat dementia, spinal cord injuries, stroke, and immunological and cardiovascular issues that include but extend beyond the brain. An interview with Adam Kaplin, MD, PhD, one of the co-authors of the May 2015 Cerebrum essay on PIL.
Kenneth S. Kosik, MD, was a member of one of several research groups that originally discovered tau protein in the Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangle. In this month's Cerebrum feature, " Tau-er of Power," he points out that if he and other tau researchers can better understand tau, then progress can be made in fighting neurological disorders linked to this protein, including frontotemporal dementia, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and Alzheimer's disease.
Studies suggest amyloid accumulates for 3
decades or more before dementia symptoms show.
Scientists have
new insights into how the tau protein spreads within and harms the brain, in
Alzheimer's and other diseases--and tau-targeting therapies are now entering
clinical trials.

I am trying to put m0n0wall on a Nokia IP330 and I have gone through all the

client cannot ping the IP330. I still get a DHCP address. I downgraded to
the latest v1.11 and I still get a DHCP address but the ability to ping from
the Nokia feature is not there. (This is given) I tried pinging the IP330
unit and can't. The Web GUI does not work on either. Can someone let me

This "adorable newbie green" is like a deeper, more grassy green version of pastel mint green.
I don't know if I will ever tire of mint green nail polish. I love it more than I love mint chocolate bars.
It's sacrilege to say that in the eyes of some chocoholics, but I bet those snobs have never painted their nails with First Timer.
This will be so fine for the spring season when I want a lighter green.

A Hispanic Roman Catholic theologian who was an adviser to Barack Obama's presidential campaign will be nominated to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, the White House announced Wednesday.
Miguel H. Diaz, 45, an associate professor of theology at St. John's University and the College of Saint Benedict in Minnesota, would be the first Hispanic to serve as ambassador to the Vatican since the United States and the Holy See established full diplomatic ties in 1984. Diaz was born in Havana.
Díaz, viewed as a dark horse candidate for the post, is the co-editor of the book "From the Heart of Our People: Explorations in Catholic Systematic Theology" and author of "On Being Human: U.S. Hispanic and Rahnerian Perspectives", named "Best Book of the Year" by the Hispanic Theological Initiative at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Díaz taught Religious Studies and Theology at Barry University, the University of Dayton and the University of Notre Dame. From 2001 to 2003, he taught and served as Academic Dean at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida.
"Professor Miguel Diaz is a skilled Trinitarian theologian who is passionate both as a teacher and a scholar," said Benedictine Abbot John Klassen of Saint John's Abbey. "He is a strong proponent of the necessity of the Church to become deeply and broadly multi-cultural, to recognize and appreciate the role that culture plays in a living faith.
The Catholics in Alliance, a Catholic lobbying group, praised the Diaz appointment.
"A theological consultant to, and commentator for, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, Professor Dìaz has always connected his impressive body of academic scholarship and intellectual rigor with an unwavering commitment to living out the social justice tenets of our faith," the group said.
Catholics United executive director Chris Korzen also issued a statement praising the Diaz appointment:
"Catholics United is thrilled to learn that Dr. Miguel Diaz has been nominated as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. Dr. Diaz is a devout Catholic, a respected theologian, a leader in the Catholic Latino community, and a dedicated husband and father of four children. We have full confidence that he will serve our nation well and we invite all Catholics to join us in celebrating this historic nomination."
"The Administration and the Holy See share many common concerns, such as protecting the environment, fostering peace in the Middle East, disarming nuclear arsenals and cultivating international development, especially for the poorest nations of the world. Dr. Diaz's ability to work constructively for common ground makes him a superb choice for this position."
Diaz was far from the most visible — or controversial — Catholic to campaign for Obama. Douglas Kmiec, a Catholic law professor and former Reagan administration lawyer, was targeted by conservative Catholics and denied Communion by one priest for his support for Obama.
The Associated Press reported that Kmiec, who was mentioned as a possible Vatican envoy, applauded the choice of Diaz on Wednesday, calling him "a gifted theologian and a natural teacher. And his love for the faith is unquestioned."
Meanwhile, St. John's University lists on its website Diaz' notable activities:
- Theological consultant on the Collegeville Ministry Seminar II (advancing the theology of vocation and authorization for lay ecclesial ministry) co-sponsored by Saint John's School of Theology•Seminary and the USCCB (2009- ).

- Member of the Karl Rahner Society (KRS) and a board member of the KRS steering committee.
- Member of Barack Obama's Catholic advisory group during the 2008 presidential campaign. In recognition of his participation in the advisory council, Dr. Díaz and his wife Marian received an invitation to the inaugural events. Dr. Díaz's involvement in the campaign and participation in the inaugural events were both covered extensively in a variety of media.
- President of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States (ACHTUS), 2006-07.
- Colloquist with Walter Cardinal Kasper at the Duquesne University Annual Holy Spirit Lecture and Colloquium entitled,"The Spirit in the New Millennium," 2006.

In a comment posted to the NCR web site, Carmen Nanko-Fernández, president of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United State, said the association was "encouraged" by the nomination. "This nomination affirms the important contribution that Hispanics are making as part of the fabric of our nation," she wrote.
A statement on the academy's web site, achtus.org, praised Diaz: "Díaz embodies in his scholarship and commitments a profound respect for human dignity and a passion for justice. A Catholic layman, Díaz and his family are devoted participants in the life of the Church."

Oof. I'm actually surprised it ran at all. Those messages essentially

text: ISLAMABAD - Rejecting the apprehension about misuse of funds and nepotism in newly launched Prime Minister's Youth Business Loan Programme, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Senator Pervaiz Rashid on Monday made it loud and clear that that there was no chance of corruption in newly launched Prime Minister's Youth Business Loan Programme and the government would ensure merit in this scheme."Various checks are in place in the defined process including finalisation of applicants by the board on merit and then transparent draw through electronic ballot," he said while talking to newsmen after addressing as chief guest at a seminar on "Zero Corruption: Hundred Per cent Development" advocacy campaign organised by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) here. He said that transparency would be the hallmark of the new youth empowerment schemes as system was in place to make them graft-free. Comparing fresh scheme with that of 'yellow cab' scheme, which was launched by Nawaz Sharif-led government in the past, the federal minister said yellow cab scheme had been successful having over 98 per cent return rate of the loan. He said all the banks which facilitated the loans in 'yellow cab scheme' had recovered their money. He said that still yellow cabs were plying on the roads and if that scheme were continued the people would not have been facing transport problems now. Whenever a scheme was launched to benefit the common people there was hue and cry of corruption, which was unfortunate. Pervaiz Rasheed especially mentioned how did Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto-led government had implicated Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif during the first term of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and again Nawaz Sharif was politically victimised during General Pervez Musharraf's tenure.Earlier addressing the seminar, the minister said that the United Nations' (UN) International Anti-Corruption Day aims to raise public awareness against corruption and what people can do to fight it." We hope that with the help of the people of Pakistan, NAB and a free and vigilant media, we would be able to improve the system and fix all wrongdoings. The federal government will continue its struggle for a more transparent, accountable and fair system for all," he added.He said that the Office of the Auditor General of Pakistan is responsible for conducting the audit of public sector entities. It undertakes regular audit of government departments and even special audit if so mandated by the government. He said its reports are then discussed by Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly. In Lahore, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) organised a seminar, followed by a rally. Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that corruption will end only when the society will start hating the corrupt individuals. Rana Sanaullah said that corruption is like a cancer that demolishes societies, it is the biggest obstacle in the way of progress. He said that corruption can only be eradicated by inciting a national awareness about it. He added that when the society will start hating corrupt masses, then the corruption will itself be ended.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel
717 Orleans Street, New Orleans, LA
0.4 km from
Rp 2,745,867+
The room was giant The place was shabby, even the uniforms were cheap. The hotel bar closed at 12:30, the room service was from like 4-10 and was provided by a third party, in the morning I called for a sprit and it took FOREVER for it come. I paid 450 for that room. I should have been at the Four Seasons level.
- Location, location, location. Traveled with a friend and this was incredibly convenient to everything we wanted to do in NOLA. I'd absolutely bring bikes if you have the means, makes the city a lot more accessible and reduces transportation issues. - Pool - Staff was awesome, very accommodating even at the last minute - it's clear that they all like their jobs - Stored our bikes in the room downstairs so they didn't take up space in the smaller room and the doormen were always available to open it up for us. Before we found this out they kept our car in a gated lot close by to make sure our bikes were safe on the car. - Free drinks at bar are slightly misleading... Not a total scam but just make sure you want well liquor and add up the cost prior to making it a double with "premium" liquor. - Valet can be slow but they did give a heads up that it would take 40 minutes at some times. - Depending on where you are in the hotel you may have a way to walk down the halls to your room but this isn't really a big deal. - Truly not that bad - if I HAD to pick bad things this is what I remember but I would absolutely stay there again.
Service and location.
I loved the location of the hotel the staff was courteous and friendly. The in hotel restaurant had good food but was a bit pricey. Our room was clean, I am a picky person so it met my standards. I thought some areas could have had better house keeping. Large dust bunnies were all over the floor near the stairs. The main area that was traveled by the guests were kept cleaner. But most importantly I didn't like that they permitted a drunken homeless person to sleep outside of the hotel doors, not a good first impression for many guests.
i stayed here with a group of 9 women. This hotel was in the very best location to walk everywhere that we wanted to go in the French Quarter. It was a really great price and i would definitely stay there again, group or individually. Having traveled to NOLA many times and stayed at many similar hotels, this was the easiest, cleanest, and best value by far.
Everything. The people working the desk when we checked in around 10pm were exceptional employees. N/a
I can't even put into words just how amazing the staff were. Every single person I met was so friendly and accommodating. Even going as far as making me a make shift shower chair due to my ankle being broken and needing assistance. Every need was met and then some! The ONLY issue we had was the sensitivity of the room keys. We had to have them remagnetized every day sometimes numerous times in a day.
location is great Thought the staff at the front desk could have been nicer. They didn't even say thank you for staying when I checked out.
Staying on the corner of Bourbon Street and Orleans St was perfect. The staff was very friendly, including valet and bellman. We didn't ask for much, but we were given a lot. The free drink at check in certainly didn't hurt! I also really liked the beautiful area in front of check in. It reminded me if a formal living room, and any time I stopped to sit in there I met other guests. It was just so homey. I didn't like the parking fee. I booked through Trip Advisor and it said parking, but nothing about the extra fee. I think it was more the surprise of it that kind of bothered me. Also, I'm not certain the air was working. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cool either. That said, we never mentioned it to the staff, given we were only in the room to sleep, so I think they would have fixed it or moved us had they known.
Really enjoyed the Historic aspect of the Hotel. Very opulent, and had wonderful informative signs regarding various history of the building. Staff is really good, polite, and helpful.
Beautiful hotel with friendly, efficient staff. If you want to stay in the heart of Bourbon Street this hotel is it. Upgrade to Balcony suite for a perfect stay. Everything was great.
Right by Bourbon St room was clean and nicely appointed great central courtyard with pool Location makes it noisy rooms on one side were noisy to a non-stop generator terrible pillows no room service uninformed staff (front desk not aware there was no room service, housekeeping not clear whether feather pillows existed... isn't this a basic requirement in most hotels? plastic mattress cover - I guess too many people enjoy the party atmosphere too much & they have mattress issues!
The beds were the best I had a hard time trying to get my girls to leave The sandwich we got from room service
Everything Nothing
In the middle of the French Quarter, but still accessible to the Convention Center. Great staff. Beautiful historic hotel.
The staff was great! Everyone is so friendly The hotel is perfectly located for all the touristy things but you don't hear any of the noise. Super nice stay! Nothing!
Royal, old-fashioned feel consistent with New Orleans old city. Room was a bit smaller than expected, but sufficient for a couple.
Elegance Central for visiting French Quarter Customer-Friendly Historic Small room for Big Price
Hotel offers a great lobby, bar area, and dining. If your trip includes the French quarter this location is outstanding. You are surrounded by great dining of all types. I would stay here again
Staff was great! Location is excellent. Our room was really small but it still worked. The cinnamon smelling toiletries should be changed to something more refreshing.
* Staff was very helpful, sorted out a room mixup quickly and appropriately, and compensated us for our time waiting * Fantastic pool and view from the roof, the rooftop bar was great * Really a perfect location - about two blocks from Bourbon made it close enough to the street to feel like you're in the bustle, but far enough away to recover after a long night in peace * We were able to get a great value for the room. * Hospitality staff restocked our room's ice and bottled water every night * Super small room, was not able to fit a single cot in the room without moving the dresser * Bed barely fit two people. * Slightly misleading depending on the website you book on, "Double" or "Queen" in our case meant a single bed, and assumedly the same room * Tiny bathroom. Towels were forced under the sink. * Bar closed earlier than I would have expected
Friendly staff. Clean. Quiet. Conveniently located in the French Quarter.
Felt like I was in Paris!
Great location and staff. The valet parking crew was very professional and courteous. Olga at the bar was a pleasure to talk too. I liked the modern decor as well. I would recommend this hotel most of the time. Walls are thin--I could hear people talking on both sides of my room. I imagine it has something to do with being an old building. Fortunately it didn't last long, however, if you are there for any kind of festival where there will be a lot of late night partying (it's near Bourbon street so this may happen quite a bit), I'd recommend being one of them instead and not assuming a good night sleep.
The hotel is right at the base of the French Quarter. If you plan to stay in the Quarter, this is a great option. Noise and parking. During a busy time, self park will be almost impossible. We valeted in order to avoid searching for a space.
The hotel was amazing. I went through Kayak and found this hotel with great reviews and $100 under our budget! When we walked in, the lobby was cute, perfectly decorated, and had the New Orleans feel we were looking for *cough*we're tourist*cough*. We were greeted by Lonny the bellman, who wouldn't let us lift a finger with our bags. He even gave us some free wine vouchers for a near by café. Check in was standard with no wait time and a friendly front desk staff. There is a small pool and patio area if you wanted to take a quick dip (by small pool, it is incredibly small, but still nice to have as an option). This hotel is cute, clean, and has the New Orleans experience with just a quick walk to Bourbon St, Café Du Monde, amazing shops in the French Quarter. Since we were driving from across country, we had an entire SUV packed with professional camera equipment, expensive camping gear, and pretty healthy supply of clothes etc. We were concerned about street parking and were told that if we valet our car with the hotel, it would be in a garage, 24 hour surveillance, and returned to us in the exact same condition we left it in. We thought "it's only $15 more than parking across the street, and we will have piece of mind" so we went with the valet. We remove our luggage for the night, brought in the camera gear (thank god) and carried on with our New Orleans experience as they drove our car off to the garage. Being a typical girl, I realized I left something in the car and asked the front desk if I could either walk to the car or have it brought around. She gave me quick directions and I headed to the parking garage. When I approached the booth in the garage, the gentlemen working pointed to the pay lot across the street, and handed me the keys. I was confused because it was just a $20 over night pay lot that we could have easily used instead of paying $15 more for the "garage" we were told our car would be in. I grabbed my items, double checked all the doors were locked, and took the keys back to the employees in the booth. When I got back to the hotel, I told my boyfriend about the differences in what we were told we were getting and what we actually got as far as parking went. We both agreed that there must be some reason for it and that the garage was full or they would move the car at some point. 8AM: Our hotel phone rings. The supervisor of the parking garage was calling to let us know he was ready to take our car to the shop to have the windows replaced. You can imagine our confusion, seeing as we had gone to bed late and had partaken in what New Orleans had to offer, IE we were hung over and had no idea what was going on. We get dressed and head down to meet with the garage supervisor who informed us that between 3-5am the driver's and passenger side windows had been broken and it looked like items were removed from the car. We head over and look over everything. Sure enough, it was in the same spot it had been the night before, sans two windows. It only looked like some center console change and our GPS had been taken(which was in a locked glove box). The parking garage paid for everything to be replaced that had been taken, and replaced the windows. Our plan was to leave at 12pm after some beignets from Café Du Monde, but ended up having to stay until 6pm waiting for the car to be fixed. Of course our room and valet charges were comped, and the staff acted accordingly, it was just an unfortunate situation that could have been avoided if the front desk had the real information regarding where their guests' vehicles were actually parked. Take what you will from this. Be it, sh*t happens and you move on, or it was a nice stay, something bad happened, and the hotel did the best they could.
We were super close to Bourbon St but never heard it- which was great! We had an interior room with no windows which I was a little apprehensive about booking at first but it proved to be the best idea ever! After getting in to town early in the morning and wandering around a lot, it was great to ha e a quiet, dark room for an afternoon nap. New Orleans is always busy and there are always people out on the streets at all hours- I highly recommend the windowless rooms for peace and quiet when it's time to get away:)
I really enjoyed my stay. I appreciated the historic feel of the room with brick walls. I was skeptical at first about renting a room with no windows, but it exceeded my expectations and wasn't as sketchy as imagined. There were plenty of lamps to substitute the natural lighting. The staff was very friendly. They greeted everyone who passed through the lobby with a smile and were helpful with suggesting local places to eat. Great location for the french quarter experience. I felt as if the carpet in my room had not been cleaned or vacuumed before my stay. There was obvious staining and debris visible. I am glad I brought slippers. It seems as if the cleaning of the rooms could be more detailed as there were trash under/behind the dresser and side table.
I wanted an authentic New Orleans French market experience and that's exactly what I got at the French market inn. Everything was perfect. It was historical, right across the street from the Riverwalk, two blocks down from Bourbon Street, Clean, safe, right across the street from Cafe Du Monde. We decided that we would stay here every time we came to New Orleans. It was nothing that I didn't like. I'm used to stay and four star hotels so I had to adjust to the boutique feel of the room, but I bet it was comfortable and the atmosphere was authentic and great.
For the price, the inn provides access to the French Quarter, into which I went for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and nightlife. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and eager to help. The room and inn have that French Quarter feel (e.g., courtyard, exposed brick, tall windows). The room was comfortable except for one point. The shower was glass, not a curtain, and was nice for such an inexpensive room. My friends who stayed at the same conference were jealous that I was staying in classier accommodations than they for the same or less! My room on the first floor had no weather strip on the bottom of the door and suffered a draft. Once plugged with a spare blanket, however, the room was cozy. Also, the electrical cords for the television were rather lazily slung over the TV itself. It looked shabby.
Location Had to pay for parking. No complementary toothpaste or bottled water.
The location was absolutely perfect: within a few short blocks to all the fun. But the location also provided much needed quiet at night. The facilities were clean and absolutely beautiful. I will absolutely stay here again and will tell everyone about this gem!
Close proximity to must see locations, restaurants and activities; staff was friendly & accomodating
Staff and accommodations Nothing
Very courteous service No window or refrigerator
Great location and next to everything. Most of the staff was very friendly and helpful
Wonderful courtyard and pool area. Romantic hideaway in New Orleans
Great location. Great water pressure. Gym was more than adequate for me, although was small, so if more than a few people wanted to work out at the same time, it could get a little crowded. Very friendly/helpful staff.
Great facility, great courtyar, cute pool, nice modern layout
Courtyard Service
The staff was probably the best ive ever encountered. Very hospitable and friendly. Location was great! Drinks were bery good at the bar. And the best part was being able to relax outside in the pool area I pretty much liked everything. Just thought the beds could have been a little more comfortable. But overall great hotel. I would definitely stay here again
All the above
The location and the friendly staff Did not like the new decor at all! Air-conditioning was not working properly.
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. They were overbooked due to a wedding for the first night of our stay but they comped us at the Sheraton two blocks away. Then we returned for the rest of our trip, and everything was excellent. Very nice pool area with cabanas, trees, vines, and drink service! Location was also perfect.
Little over priced
The location was awesome, we were able to walk to anywhere in the French Quarter with no problem. The security staff were very nice. I did not like was how the bathroom in our room did not have a proper door. The door was a closet-stlye door with slats. Also, during our stay there was a heavy rainstorm that crippled the hotel staff with flooding in the lobby area and restaurant. We wanted breakfast, but the staff seemed quite flustered and did not want to seat us in the restaurant, even though the rain had ended.
Location and service No pool lighting to keep it open later.. It would be nice to use it later
Staff was great. Location was excellent. I didn't use the pool myself but Courtyard and pool looked relaxing. Families were enjoying the area.
The staff was very attentive. The front desk clerk, Jenn, was very helpful and went that extra mile to ensure we had a plan for our first night in NOLA and found us good bargains for the rest of our time here. The room was large and clean, which should be no surprise. The bed was nice and soft, a perfect way to end a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant was also fun and cuisine and wait staff were fantastic, especially the purple haired server whose name escapes me; she was super helpful and cheery. The bathroom looked like something you find in a Motel 6. It wasn't terrible, just very basic. But, it did the job. The walls are a little thin, so it seemed like we were part of the party that was happening a few doors down. Parking is very expensive; about $25 a day.
The rooms was charming . Location excellent , large king bed very comfortable, room spacious . Really nothing, ice on first floor but fine
Great size room and an awesome location! Friendly and helpful staff and all for a great rate!
The lobby was very inviting. I loved the courtyard. The location was great. We arrived at 1030 and had to wait until 1600 for a room to be open. When we were able to go to the room, we noticed it was not very clean. There was trash from the previous occupants laying around the bed. We stayed two nights and on the second day after housekeeping made our beds, they did not leave any new soap or towels and left their cleaning supplies in our bathroom. The first night was quiet, but the second night there were guests yelling and running down our hall at all hours of the night. Id prefer they would have gone back to Bourbon street to do that.
Attentiveness of Hotel Staff & Manager. Dealt with bug problem very quickly & professionally. Made remainder of stay very enjoyable. Finding a roach in bathroom.
Felt safe and welcomed- solo traveler All was well...nothing is perfect. Rate 9 on scale of 1to10 with 10 being the highest
We came to town to celebrate for my birthday and upon check in we were told we were receiving a free upgrade to a mini suite. The room was nice, the staff was helpful. I'd stay here again. It seemed a theme throughout New Orleans that the entire city is getting a face lift, our hotel included. Didn't ruin my stay or really bug me all that much, but there were people painting right outside our window early in the morning
Most of the staff were friendly and responsible. Food in restaurant was decent--coffee better than Cafe du Monde! The room was not in tip-top shape ..It could use some freshening.
My absolute favorite thing was the real shuddered Windows, floor to ceiling that actually opened up to the French quarter. Like you could hang out the window and watch the groups go by on the haunted New Orleans tours. The fact that they stopped in front of my hotel was only slightly nerve racking The room smelled a little like mold and my ears and throat itched all night. Also, the toilet seat was loose and threatened to throw you on the floor everyone you sat on it.
At first I thought the location was good but at 3am a large group of bums would gather outside of our room fighting,singing,and yelling very loudly-so much that we were scared for our safety. They would not accept our travelocity reservations and tried to charge My credit card again, even though it was already paid for. We did not get the rooms we asked for with two queen beds. The restaurant was closed the entire time we were there too. For the price we paid the tiny room should have had a refrigerator or at least a coffee maker.
Pool, beds, doorman and location Desk staff and the lose of free breakfast
Staff is wonderful. Courtyards are perfect and the location is great! Would definitely stay here again.
If you are looking for a place to stay in the French Quarter, close to the action but not in the midst, this is it. Hotel Provincial is everything you'd expect with a boutique hotel. Rooms were small but adequate. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom space is generous. One of the best features is the middle courtyard. Kind of acts like and outdoor lobby. Enjoyed sitting there early in the AM before heading out for fun. Hotel convenient to Jackson Square, Royal/Bourbon street action yet far enough off track so you don't have to "live" with the distraction. Most of the staff was friendly and very helpful A few staff members need to go back to customer relations 101, but thrat is hardly a reflection of the staff overall
Great service even though the hotel was booked solid for ballgames in town! Awesome doorman/concierge and continental Breakfast~ Breakfast dishes could be a little bit larger - and/or a tray to carry since we had to sit outside to dine~
location price furnishings, maintenance level
Hotel room was beautiful. Loved our car was inside the courtyard, safe and close. Can't wait to go back.
2 blocks from bourbon
Friendly staff, everything worked Noithing
Location Water bottle and wrapper were left in the room from previous occupant.
Great location for our group. Easy walk to everything. Lots of noise from the bars but we knew that in advance. Staff was so helpful and friendly. Pool area and lobby were really nice. One elevator was being renovated, so we took the stairs most of the time.
Bourbon street is blocked at night. Please put the other street name bordering the hotel that offers parking so the GPs can find the parking for the hotel easily. Thank you
Service was really bad, no ac nightmare of a night
hotel was clean, staff was attentive, great location right in the quarter, good breakfasts, surprisingly quiet despite its location, nice pool and bar areas
location was perfect especially for the price. Staff was extremely friendly I did not like that I wasn't able to spend more time there!
Great location right on Bourbon Street, clean rooms friendly staff. Bad decisions from the reception staff (3 hours to get our room after we arrived in 3 different attempts) and our keycard was not programmed correctly even then. Noisy hotel with the street on one side, the pool being worked on with a jackhammer in the morning on tho other side, and very thin walls everywhere.
The bellboy was amazing and the location was great! But the $35 charge to park your car one time is ridiculous. Also the a/c in the room wouldn't cool. We burned up all night. Could barely sleep.
Great location. The floor was surprisingly comfortable. The cleaning staff was very nice and tolerant of our shenanigans. The bartender downstairs was super sweet...she continued to give us alcohol even when we totally should have been cut off. The luggage valet made an excellent skateboard. The concierge was very helpful although he kept trying to sell us on signing up our group on a swamp tour with 30 minutes notice...there was no way we would be able to gather our group that quickly even if we weren't highly intoxicated. Also, he seemed irritated when we suggested they allow us to drive fan boats as a part of the tour. Our lamp was broken and glued back together. "The bathroom doesn't work right," kept being mentioned throughout our stay. Not enough towels to make a decent blanket. Would have liked a vent in the bathroom to filter out "unpleasant" scents. The pool had way too much chlorine but it makes sense with all the urine that is released on a daily basis...maybe post a sign that reads "No urinating in pool."
Staff was great. Location is right in the middle of Bourbon St. Location is right in the middle of Bourbon St. If you want to sleep at night, get a room on the courtyard side. Rooms are very small. Worst bartender on the street (when she's there). If you order a beer, you'll be OK.
The help I received at the front desk from everyone was top notch!
Location and over-priced hotel in the Quarter. I was here for my 60th birthday. I chose this hotel because I had been here before and had a great experience. Hotel allowed me to change rooms after the ants were reported twice and after my patience had run out. Ant problem in one of three rooms reserved for my 60th birthday. Since I have been here before the system is the following: they give you a really crappy room (interior dungeon room with no windows or a small, crappy and smelly room) you inform the front desk that you are not happy, they respond by saying they cannot do anything until the next day even though the hotel seemed to be fairly empty and it was at check-in time and finally you are allowed to move yourself the following day. The rates are all over the place, they change on a day to day basis. I reserved one of the rooms at full price because I wanted to make sure my birthday accommodations were great and I received a very disappointing, smelly, cramped room with a tiny bathroom. Unhelpful front desk. Overall a sad experience.
The location couldn't be better - right on Decatur in the French Quarter. And the price was great. If you're looking for an affordable place to crash after a hard night in the quarter, this is a good hotel. The parking is absolutely terrible - the spaces are so small I couldn't get out of the car. Afterwards I learned they have valet parking, but that didn't help me when I pulled in as there were no signs and no attendants outside. Besides, there's no way the valet can get in/out without hitting your door on the car next to you. The concierge was very rude. She insisted that I refer to my girlfriend as my wife - this is the French Quarter, I expect to not have to justify my life choices to the concierge. The pool is nice, but rather small, and when I visited it was very unclean. As guests we had access to the Hotel Monteleone rooftop pool 2 blocks away - but for just $25 more I could have booked my room at Monteleone anyway. The decor reminded me of my grandmother's guestroom, the elevator took a full minute to make it up one floor, the towels weren't soft - I could go on. If you're looking for a cheap place to crash in the quarter, I recommend this hotel. But otherwise I'd spend a little extra cash and stay at one of the much nicer hotels in the area.
Location $40 for one night of parking
The hotel felt very French, romantic, and quaint. It was in a perfect location and within walking distance to the wedding we were attending that night. The rooms were cozy and the balcony was nice. Somehow my reservation was saved under the name "Judith" (not sure if this was a mistake on Kayak's end, or the hotel's), and the staff treated me as if I had done something wrong. My name is not/has never been/isn't even close to Judith, so there's no way I accidentally gave them the wrong name. I entered the hotel to check in with the three friends who were also in the room, and they couldn't find the reservation and I had to ask "ok so what do I do?" and they told me to call whoever I booked the reservation through. The woman at the desk was rude and unhelpful overall, and finally, after we got the whole thing sorted out she noticed that the reservation had been made for two people instead of four (all four of us were standing at the desk) and she proceeded to charge us and additional $50 for the extra people. Of course, I was dishonest about the number of us in the room, but an extra $50 just seemed unnecessary seeing as we only planned to sleep there and not use an abundance towels, or even eat breakfast. The frustrating thing is that my emails from Kayak are addressed to me, with my real name, so I think the mistake was actually on the hotel's end and yet they were extremely unkind and did not apologize for anything. It was just bad business practice, but I suppose with a location as great as this one they'll continue to fill rooms no matter the customer service. Also the price for parking was just insane. I recommend looking for other places to park; a few of my other friends found a nearby lot for $15 overnight parking.
We waited over 30 minutes for our car
very close to canal street and Bourbon street. Able to walk there. Great location for walking to these site attractions. The bed was very sqeaky anytime I moved. To go to bathroom you had to step up and I kept hitting my foot on the upstep to go in. So I kept reminding my mother to take a step up when she entered it so she wouldn't fall.
Location was fantastic. Staff was very friendly. The air conditioner in one of our rooms was not working properly, even after a maintenance person came to service it.
The room was wonderful with a large king sized bed and beautiful declarations throughout. The included breakfast was a little "holiday inn" but I can't really complain for the price or the accommodation.
The hotel was old which isn't always a bad thing. Our door to our room fell off the hinges and we literally had to sleep with our door opened and unlocked. :( we called downstairs and no one answered. Very dissatisfied Just not comfy and dated. Front desk clerk did not make me happy with how she handled the door situation. She asked me "What do you want me to do?" I don't feel I should ask. I didn't have privacy in a room with females. You think they would bend over backwards to satisfy us. Not the case. Very disappointing.
Perfect location, very nice rooms and beautiful pool area. Staff was incredible and probably the nicest pet friendly hotel I have ever stayed in. Very close to all the fun, Harrah's casino, Cafe du Monde, house of blues, Bourbon St. We walked everywhere had a blast and never even thought about a cab. Nothing, the hotel was great and New Orleans is one of my new favorite cities on the planet!
Great hotel. Front desk clerk never told me there was going to be a charge for parking. I assume it was included. Wish I would of know instead of paying $35 per night. I felt like i was tricked into it.
Staff and location are incredible. Hotel is beautiful. Breakfast was poor.
In general it was really nice. The court yard was really nice and clean
The location was great as well as the morning staff Didnt care much for the night receptionist, gave a little bit of an attitude when we asked for extra towels. Oh and the pool was dirty all 3 days we were there. I thought my bathtub had a ring...geez.
We could not have picked a better location to stay. We could walk out our door and be at Jackson Square. Great for walking and taking in the New Orleans culture!!!!
Location Front desk staff could have been more friendly and the check-in process was slow and inefficient. Breakfast was minimal: stale pastries, a fruit basket, OJ and coffee.
Great location. The hotel was in the French Quarter of New Orleans located 1 block from Jackson Square and 2 blocks from Bourbon Street. We never had to use our vehicle during the stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel but the room was clean and quiet. I will definitely stay there again.
location and parking No window in room. Breakfast was poor.
Great location! Street noise.
Clean and in a great location in the French Quarter Room was a little small but we are not stay in the room folks. We were out walking and site seeing.
The room was beautiful; the hotel is beautiful; the staff was courteous. The elevator for the car garage broke and myself and many others were trapped there all day and I was not able to get my car out until 10pm. We had to convince the manager that he needed to pay for meals and drinks (even water) while we all waited and then he FINALLY offered hotel rooms elsewhere for the night to the ones who chose not to wait up late to get their cars out when it was fixed.
The location and the friendly staff.
Great location... within a few blocks of historic/tourist locations and typical regional (cajun,seafood) and gourmet dining. Excellent value.
We did not have any problems. The room was adequate with good air conditioning, and the staff was friendly. We felt the hotel was a great value and the location was perfect. We were steps away from Jackson Square and a block and a half off Bourbon. The room was a little dark and outdated, but nothing I couldn't handle. They probably should renovate the bathroom sooner rather than later.
The outlets in my room were almost non-functional. When I tried to plug in an appliance, the plug would wiggle and fall out just enough that it would lose contact and stop working. The TV wouldn't turn on because of this, and I had to plug the hair dryer in next to the door because the outlet in the bathroom didn't work.
Location Staff failed to provide promised services. Plumbing repairs in lobby area and staff demsnded access to our room numerous times. Refused to relocate us
We had a beautiful balcony room that we ate our complimentary breakfast on every morning. The bed was enormous and really comfy high ceiling and nice antique looking furniture beautiful court yard friendly concierge staff We didn't have hot water for a couple hours Only one roll of toilet paper stocked in the room at a time I went to use a wash cloth provided for me and there was makeup stains on it that hadn't been fully washed away sofa bed was collapsing at the foot end worker who delivered our breakfast asked for a tip
Nice trip back in time with the courtyard. This is on Royal St just one away from the infamous Bourbon St in the French Quarter. Staff was great. Room was clean. Just realize going in that this is an old town with limited opportunities to actually park anywhere except public parking several blocks away. But again, old town blocks so the walking is not bad at all. Elderly and those have difficulty walking will have to watch where you walk the entire time as the sidewalks tends to have sudden drops scattered here and there. Very uneven walking, but again, it is a very old town. I believe no one should ever have to pay $100 a night at any hotel, except for event days and unless it is some palatial suite, so this is a general knock against the hotel industry.
Location was excellent! Staff was friendly. The room was small but sufficient. The bathroom was so small and quite uncomfortable. Furniture old but not bothersome. I wished there were two chairs in the room for convenience. We ended up eating on the floor and using our one chair as a table.
Great location but not clean at all. I noticed our bed comforters were dirty as well as the sheets. Have a gut feeling they were not changed. Watch out for bed bugs. Management needs to get on how clean the room and bathroom is. The shower had that brown rust on the walls. Personally I would not stay there again.
I stayed for six nights in July. Summer prices were excellent, and the location is superb. According to one of the many Haunted New Orleans tours that went by, the Jackson Hotel is one of the most haunted places in NOLA. I heard nothing, spooky or otherwise, in this quiet gem. Small room, but who stays in their room for long when they're staying in the Quarter?
Warm & very helpful staff Beautiful / Comfortable accomadations Location on Rotal was central to everythjng we could walk to Very clean/ Staff very efficient Serivice of Continental Breakfast a lovely start to our day The Bathroom is a bit small but big soft towels were in abundance
This hotel has a lot of character. Don't expect anything luxury but I really like this hotel. It was clean and comfortable enough for the quarter and the price was half of other hotels. Room 110 is large and secluded in the back. It opens up onto the court yard. The location of this hotel is amazing! Side note: parking is expensive but it's the same everywhere.
The complimentary breakfast was a beautiful silver tray breakfast in bed. It was a very pleasant surprise. The court yard was beautiful and the room very comfortable. the only negative i have is that they were under construction and started working loudly very early in the morning.
The location was great- within a short walk to restaurants and bars, but just far enough from the busy spots to be quiet. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was small but sufficient for 2 people. Parking is valet only about $35 per night plus tax, although you have unlimited in/our privileges. You don't need your car really for the location though. The room was not clean. Stains on the sheets and towels, floor looked filthy, and vomit remains left around the bottom of the toilet. I don't care about how the hotel looks, but cleanliness is a must and this was nowhere near clean. The breakfast is just tea/coffee plus a croissant. That is fine but the croissants were not very good so I recommend getting the coffee then going somewhere for better food.
Loved the fact that there was a balcony all alone the front of the rooms, it was a nice view and good spot to read the morning paper and wake up.
the room was to small and the tubin the bathroom was small for a child to fit in could not site in the tub was not long was a little tub and it keep runing water
It was close enough to the action to walk there but far enough away that it was quiet. Wonderful French Quarter hotel and experence . Jenny and Eric really went above what was expected. They added so much to our trip with tips and advice
The room wasn't ready by checkin, the room had not been cleaned (bottle caps and trash still in the room), the bathroom was still a mess, no windows in the bedroom. I stayed one night before getting a room at the Marriott.
Location and friendly, very helpful staff, affordable
Our room was very cozy and quiet. We felt very safe and would stay there again!
perfect location in the heart of the French Quarter, very nice atmosphere, you feel like being in a different time. Of course, lack of internet connection and fancy entertainment set comes with that
Great location, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Walls and couch were filthy, light on street lit up entire room throughout the nights, breakfast always late, cold, and incorrect.
excellent location breafkast
location room to be ready at checkin room to be at chateau not down the road. free parking 35$ extra? seriously
Absolutely loved the people and their help with recommendations. Helped to get a bit more of the local feel versus the tourist attraction hot spots. Have stayed before, but still a great location to get anything you want to get to, both inside and outside of the Quarter. Melanie and Allen were superb and always available and willing to go above and beyond. Just had a couple of lights that were out, but was fine. Not much water pressure at ask, and would have been nice to have a little fridge, but no complaints.
Location Climate Control - none in one room, off/on in another - controlled by front desk, Not clean, Ran out of blankets/wash cloths, Staff was apathetic
Great location, and what a wonderful room!
I met my best friend in New Orleans for a long weekend, and staying at the Cornstalk was perfect. The room was gorgeous, the staff helpful, the courtyard a perfect oasis to sit and eat take-out lunch, the beds super comfy. It is in the thick of everything, without being right on Bourbon Street, which would have been way too crazy. Royal Street is extraordinary, with tons of gorgeous antique shops and good restaurants. Most importantly - there was a coffee shop just down the block from Cornstalk, and the Verdi Marte is only about four blocks away, where you'll get the best sandwiches in New Orleans. This place was utterly delightful. They don't make it clear on the website that there is no elevator, and that even to get to the ground floor, there is a huge staircase - and this is the only access. The day we were checking out, an elder couple was attempting to check in, but the wife - who used a walker - couldn't begin to make it up the stairs to the ground floor, let alone the 2nd floor room they'd booked. This was a Saturday night, and I imagine they had a terrible time finding another room - and they'd obviously flown in from somewhere far away. This is something that should be made crystal clear to anyone who books a room.

really nobody who knows?
I was wondering how to connect to a wireless network with the wep key index set to 3 in BT3 (and BT2 too, for that matter). I know how to tune in to that key index with airodump, just not how to connect to it at my mums
It would help a lot to be able to surf the internet from inside backtrack, instead of switching between xp and bt3 all the time
really nobody who knows?
so what is your problem? why dont you use internet from BT ?
Where you enter in the four keys for each index and the last statement (key [2]) indicates the key you want to use. (Obviously replace wlan0 with the real interface and the 0s with the key.) If you want to change to a different key index afterwards you can just issue this command:Code:iwconfig wlan0 key [1] 0000-0000-00 key [2] 0000-0000-00 key [3] 0000-0000-00 key [4] 0000-0000-00 key [2]
As a last thought, you might be able to get away withCode:iwconfig wlan0 key [4]
But I haven't tested any of this stuff in BT2/3.Code:iwconfig wlan0 key [2] 0000-0000-00 key [2]
i simply can't connect to the acces point. that's a bit of a problem. i can't set the wep key index to 3 in the wifi connecting application

This is a guest post by Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz.
As we marked the 41st anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision this week, the issue of abortion continues to divide Americans. While recent polls show that most Americans want to keep Roe as the law of the land, large percentages and sometimes majorities of Americans also support limitations on when and under what circumstances abortion should be permitted. Many clearly have ambivalent feelings about this highly emotional issue. Nevertheless, Americans remain sharply divided on the fundamental question of whether abortion should remain a woman's choice in the large majority of cases. And when it comes to abortion, it is this question of abortion as a woman's choice that is the most significant politically.
The public division on abortion is nothing new. It has existed almost since the Supreme Court issued its ruling in 1973. What has changed, however, is that opinions on abortion have become increasingly divided by party as the positions of party leaders have diverged on the issue. The graph below displays the trend in the average position of Democrats and Republicans, including leaning independents, on a four-point abortion scale that has been included in American National Election Study surveys since 1980. The choices on this scale include completely banning abortion; permitting abortion only in cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother; allowing abortion under other circumstances; and allowing abortion as a matter of choice.
Although the average position of all voters changed very little between 1980 and 2008, the distance between Democrats and Republicans increased dramatically over that period. The gap continued to grow after 2008, as well. In 2012, Democrats and Republicans were more polarized than ever. A record 63 percent of Democrats took the most pro-choice position on this question compared with only 29 percent of Republicans. In contrast, 54 percent of Republicans favored banning abortion entirely or allowing it only in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother's life, compared with only 23 percent of Democrats.
Another question in the 2012 ANES survey also shows this polarization. It asked respondents to place themselves on a nine-point scale indicating how strongly they favored or opposed permitting abortion as a matter of choice. Overall, voters divided almost evenly — with 45 percent in favor and 44 percent opposed. But most striking was the polarization: 59 percent of voters placed themselves at the two most extreme positions on the scale, and 77 percent placed themselves within one unit of either pole. In contrast, only 11 percent placed themselves in the middle of the scale. By the standards of public opinion on policy issues, this is an extraordinary degree of polarization.
That gap is also driven by partisanship. The graph below shows that the overwhelming majority of Democrats were on the pro-choice side of the scale while the overwhelming majority of Republicans were on the pro-life side of the scale. In fact, more than 50 percent of Democrats placed themselves at either 1 or 2, and almost 60 percent of Republicans placed themselves at either 8 or 9 on the scale.
Nevertheless, a substantial minority of voters in each party held views on abortion that were in conflict with their party's position. In fact, 23 percent of Democrats came out as strongly pro-life (8 or 9 on the scale), and 21 percent Republicans came out as strongly pro-choice (1 or 2 on the scale).
These results suggest that abortion could have been a major wedge issue in 2012 — potentially prompting defections among those whose views differed from those of their party's candidates. But despite efforts by candidates in both parties to exploit divisions among the opposing party's supporters, such defections were limited. Only a small minority of voters whose opinions on abortion conflicted with their own party actually voted for the opposing party's presidential candidate. Moreover, these defections essentially canceled each other out. According to the data from the 2012 ANES, 17 percent of strongly pro-life Democrats voted for Mitt Romney, and an identical 17 percent of strongly pro-choice Republicans voted for Barack Obama. Neither presidential candidate gained a clear advantage from voter defections on the issue of abortion in 2012.
This is likely to be true in the 2014 midterm elections, as well. A large majority of Americans now hold opinions on abortion that are consistent with the position of their party. Moreover, roughly equal proportions of Democrats and Republicans hold opinions on abortion that conflict with the position of their party and these voters still cast their ballots overwhelmingly for their own party's candidates. This may indicate these voters are more concerned about other issues or don't know the positions of the parties on abortion.
The abortion issue is likely to matter only to a few competitive races in which one candidate takes a position that is clearly out of line with the views of most voters. While this could conceivably affect either Democratic or Republican candidates, based on recent election results the most likely scenario would involve a Republican candidate who opposes abortion even in the case of pregnancies caused by rape. In 2012, according to data from the American National Election Study, 75 percent of all voters and 64 percent of Republican voters favored allowing abortion for pregnancies caused by rape.
In 2012, two Republican Senate candidates, Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana, lost what appeared to be very winnable races because of defections by Republican voters. According to state exit polls, Republican defectors outnumbered Democratic defectors by 21 percent to 4 percent in Missouri and by 20 percent to 7 percent in Indiana. It seems likely that Akin's and Mourdoch's outspoken opposition to abortion even in the case of pregnancies caused by rape contributed to these extraordinarily high defection rates among Republican voters and to their defeats.
Democratic strategists can only hope that Republican primary voters will nominate more candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock in 2014.
