Our stay at the Ivy House BB was beyond excellent! Linda is a charming hostess and we had the chance to chat with her and Jim prior to our departure. She made a delicious breakfast and the two shared some fun facts about the home's history. They were accommodating and giving and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them. We stayed for one night passing through the area on our honeymoon, and it's a must for anyone passing through or visiting Indianapolis. It's also a perfect little getaway as Fortville is a quaint little town as well. We hope to stay again! Caroline and Matt

Tucked away in the quiet town of Fortville, this B&B is only a few miles from downtown Indy, making it a perfect spot for a getaway weekend or an entire week! The rooms are beautiful, the couple that operates the Ivy House are delightful, and the food... WOW! Put this on your bucket list - but don't wait too long to make your reservation! An incredible find in central Indiana.

We have stayed in Bed and Breakfasts and Inns almost exclusively for 30 years. Our experiences have ranged from high end luxury to small and intimate to rustic. The Ivy House gets it right on all levels. Innkeeper Linda is a gem and provides one of the most restful experiences in recent memory. The Inn is immaculate. The breakfasts are unparalleled. The beds and linens are divine. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

We were passing through Indianapolis on our way to WI. We needed a place to stay overnight and looked on Bed & Breakfast.com. This INN looked nice. T our surprise it was even better than the pictures. Jim & Linda were great hosts and even had several recommendations for dinner. Room was great and breakfast was outstanding. Will positively return when we are back in the area.

The best part was walking out of our room in the morning and smelling the wonderful breakfasts that Linda made every morning. Next best was having her appear with the coffeepot as soon as I got down the stairs. My husband and I have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years and the Ivy House is definitely one of the best. The rooms are attractive and very comfortable (custom-made pillow top mattresses). There is a lovely large living room, with a doorway leading to a beautiful small porch, complete with porch swing. Since we're early risers it was great to have comfortable and attractive settings to sit (with our coffee already in hand) while we waited for breakfast. When we arrived we could smell freshly baked cookies that were available in the dining room. A small refrigerator with complimentary bottles of water and soda was also available at all times. This attention to details both large and small distinguishes the Ivy House from many other b and b's where we've stayed. The breakfasts were also some of the best we've had, beautifully served. Breakfast is by candlelight, with beautiful table settings. The first thing we were served was fresh fruit in a waffle cone set on it's side, with a garnish of whipped cream, looking like a miniature cornucopia. Individual egg souffles, pecan French toast, orange mango juice, a great breakfast each morning. Our room was sparkling clean each day and included a night-time bed turndown complete with a different kind of chocolate each night. The gardens outside were equally lovely and made the setting very relaxing. I'll return as soon as I can!

When we walked up the front sidewalk to the door, we already knew. There's a kind of ambiance that one senses immediately. We arrived late and exhausted by a grueling trip through blinding rain and wind in AR and MO. How pleasant and beautiful did we find Ivy House and its proprietors Linda and Jim. They made us feel welcome in this lovely old former home of a local physician, built around 1920. The next morning, we were treated to some of the best breakfast cuisine we've ever had. Since we were staying for a number of days, this would be the first of a series of memorable breakfasts that rank among the very finest of all the B&B's we have visited over many years. The rooms were immaculate in every respect. Wife is seriously allergic to dust, and we experienced none of that. Every aspect of the decor, the furnishings, the attention to detail (notably, even "minor" details) was exceptional. The queen bed was very comfortable. The proprietors were very helpful to us in explaining things about the area around the Ivy House as well as Hamilton County, which we are considering for a retirement destination. We could go on for a number of pages about the beautiful accoutrements which delight the eye: crown moulding, antique clocks, hues of green, rugs with rose-colored motifs and shades of berries, rich wood tones of the furniture and floors laid entirely by hand without benefit of power tools, and on and on! Our first-day impression upon walking up to the door proved to be prescient! No doubt we would joyfully return upon a future visit to the area. Tom and Laurie

From the moment you meet the innkeepers you feel so welcome in their home. The beds and bedding are so comfy, not to mention how warm and inviting the rooms are. The breakfasts are outstanding, so why would you even want to go home after being pampered like that! It's one of our favorite places to come and spend a few days relaxing and unwinding.....it's the perfect place.

Kay and I have visited this wonderful B&B every year for the last five years, and we're still excited every time we go! Linda and Jim have provided an excellent stay each time, and we've had numerous, engaging conversations with the other guests we've met there. The house, garden, and grounds are so lovely that we even rented the space for our wedding. We always look forward to breakfast, knowing that Linda will make something delicious. This time it was a souffle and a literal miniature cornucopia of fruit for each of us. --Jay & Kay

This trip was my fourth time visiting Indiana, and while the first three times were to see the Indy 500, this time was for pure relaxation and rejuvenation. I love the Ivy House so much that I simply do not even look at other places to stay! Why chance it, when you know how perfect Ivy House is? I stayed for two weeks this time; it is just that comfortable, and Linda makes the most decadent breakfasts served on fine china. Your plate will not see eggs and toast......no....she serves fresh ingredient soufflés, stuffed French toast dishes, fresh baked goods (like lemon poppyseed muffins drizzles in lemony goodness)...getting out of bed is such a treat! I will try to post a picture or two. I always love the cozy comfy rooms, and the large common areas are very inviting, including an outdoor terrace. Travellers, save yourself time and energy and look no further for the perfect place to stay.

This was our first stay at a B&B and Jim and Linda set the bar high for future B&B's. They were warm and wonderful hosts. The Inn was immaculately clean and comfortable. Spacious rooms and private bath. Delicious breakfast. She assured us right away that we would not be spending the evening with them, but with each other. They have a separate entrance and stayed in separate quarters, so unless we needed anything we did not see them until morning. She has a special eye for detail and adds a warm touch to everything. Jim has done an amazing job with the doors of the home that are refurnished from the most unique places. I love old doors and the history of items so this was a treasure to me. Their personalities compliment each other and we left feeling like we had just visited friends of the family. We will return to enjoy their home and company again.

My wife and I had tickets to the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race and were looking for a comfortable place to stay for the weekend. We chose The Ivy House Bed & Breakfast based on the reviews of Trip Advisor, and are so very happy we did! The Inn was so very well taken care of that you could tell it was a place that was loved. And boy did we love it too! Everything was so immaculate! The rooms were very large and comfortable, and the huge bed we slept in made it very hard to get up in the morning. The food was excellent, and the property was beautiful! At the end of the day, it was very restful to sit and relax on the side porch with a cup of fresh brewed coffee. The house was beautifully decorated with antiques, teddy bears, tea pots, and so much more. I highly recommend The Ivy House Bed & Breakfast to anybody who may be staying in or near Indianapolis. We will definitely be staying there on our next visit!!

My husband surprised me with a return visit to Ivy House on our first anniversary. We had stayed here once while dating, and had the most wonderfully relaxing time of connection. That's really when we decided that we would marry. So coming back to this completely pleasant and peaceful place was perfect for reflection. Linda made everything perfect for us, and was very considerate of my dietary needs as well. We had everything we needed and felt quite at home. I'm hoping to make a long-standing tradition of this visit. A+ to everything. Thank you, Noltes.

It has been one month since our visit to The Ivy House and we are still talking about what a terrific place. On our way to a nephew's graduation we decided to celebrate our 47th anniversary here. We were greeted at the front door by our innkeeper Linda. It was as if we were family coming home for a visit. The Inn is immaculate in every aspect, the food fabulous, the gardens beautiful, the snacks readily available Oh did I mention the food fabulous, the souffle one day, the french toast another, the fruit very fresh and the table decorated as if we were someone famous or royal. We slept better than if we were in our own bed. The furnishings are outstanding--antiques everywhere..The side porch was so peaceful after a day of sightseeing. Wanting to celebrate our anniversary dinner somewhere special, Linda knew exactly where to go. She is so knowledgeable of the surrounding area explaining all of the local venues. We will definitely stay at the Ivy House on our next visit to Indiana.

It was seriously as if we were right at home, only a great breakfast was made and served to us. The scenery inside and out was peaceful and very relaxing. The beds were very comfortable, and every was exceptionally clean. The breakfast was fresh and there was a great variety. Also included was soda, water, or cookies at any time. It has a great small town charm and feel but is literally only 5-10 min from a great mall, restaurants, and a movie theatre. Can't imagine a better bed and breakfast experience!

My husband surprised me with a romantic getaway to the Ivy House, a place I've wanted to try for years. It was like a step back in time. We slept so great on the amazing mattress! The table setting and breakfast made us feel like royalty. We even had own own souffle" that was absolutely delicious. The Ivy House was just a wonderful experience!

We stayed in the English Ivy Room and were just blown away by the size of it and the ensuite bathroom. The bed was a bit high off the floor and a challenge to get into but once in it, it was very peaceful sleeping. There is no control over the heat or air conditioning but the fan above the bed helped circulate the air. The innkeepers were very quick to respond to a a request for an extra towel and the place was very clean again whenever we stepped out. There were even little chocolates on our pillows each night. The breakfast was wonderful though extras might have been welcomed some mornings. Breakfast always started with a fruit platter and then a meat and egg or pastry dish all made fresh that morning. The Innkeeper was very attentive to our allergy concerns. Throughout the day, had we wished, there were cookies, teas, sodas, and water available to us. Parking was off road though the location of the B&B was a touch tricky to find. It is located in a lovely neighborhood where I could imagine several more B&Bs or fine families living. We had a code to use so we could come and go as we pleased and the run of not only our room and the dining room but also a porch and living room. We only met the lady of the Inn not the rest of her family but it was clear that she loves doing this and had great care for all of her guests. We've all ready recommended it to others.

I have stayed in many B&B's across the Midwest and although I have never had a bad experience, some are certainly 'a cut above the rest'! This B&B is definitely one of the best! Food great, very clean, and a wonderful attention to the small details, which can separate the good B&B's from the ones that really stand out. I hope I can visit again as there is a nice little area by the reservoir, and close to the B&B, where you can eat and relax!

The accommodations were amazing. Every detail is attended to and so charming yet a very comfortable atmosphere. The proprietor, Linda, is gracious and attentive without disturbing your privacy. The food is gourmet quality. We will definitely be back!

Mydaughter and I arrived late after a concert at nearby Connors Prairie. Lindagreeted us at the door with a warm smile and offered us tea and wonderfuloatmeal cookies. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated. After awonderful night's sleep we enjoyed a delicious breakfast by candlelight. Lindaloves what she does and it shows in the details of the house and the care ofthe guests. I plan to come back with my husband and enjoy both the hospitalityof the Ivy House and another concert!

On October 31, 2011, my wife and I lodged at the Ivy House. We chose this B & B mainly due to the very positive reviews that previous guests had written about their stays. Well, this place lived up to those reviews. It is a very charming home with a rich history that is spotlessly maintained. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed. Our hosts Linda and Jim were very friendly and accommodating. Linda prepared our breakfast, which was fresh and delicious, that included a beautiful presentation of a variety of fruits, a great ham and egg soufflé, and a poppy seed muffin. Beautiful home, delicious food, and wonderful hosts all added up to great experience.

We have stayed at many many B+B's since 1988 and we very much enjoyed our stay.There was NOT one amenity that you over looked. The room was pretty,comfortable and clean. Enjoyed breakfast and chatting with you. Thankyou for sharing your home with us.

I have been staying at Bed & Breakfast Inns since the 1980s and Ivy House is my favorite by far! Linda is so warm and friendly, she makes you feel like you have known her a long time. The house is so beautiful and clean! Linda pays attention to every detail, and does it perfectly. Breakfast was wonderful, lit candles, beautiful linens, china and crystal all made for a great experience.

50 years ago my husband's grandparents owned the home that is now the Ivy House in Fortville, IN. I surprised him with a night there for his 60th birthday. What a surprise and enjoyment it was for him to spend time at this beautiful place again. The owner's were so gracious and out did themselves by spending time with us reminiscing about the history of the home. We stayed in the English Ivy room with the gorgeous bath room! Breakfast was delicious. We would definitely recommend this Bed and Breakfast for whatever the occasion!

We have stayed at the Ivy House twice in the last two months as it is close to our new graddaughters. We love the feel of the house, you feel like your in your own home. It has a welcome living room and outside porch and the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. We always sleep well at the Ivy House. Linda is warm and friendly and she puts up a great breakfast. Our favorite room is the English Ivy Room as it has a great big clean tub to soak in and a sitting area. I love the scents coming from the kitchen in the morning as she whips fresh baked goodies daily. We will definately be back to visit at the Ivy House.

My wife & I just returned from a 30+ day trip back to Indiana to celebrate our 50th High School Reunion and visit with friends and family. Our ten day stay at the IVY House was a highlight. Jim & Linda Nolte went far and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable. I would highly recommend the Ivy House if you are looking for a place to stay while in east central Indiana. I would start my day with coffee on the porch where I was able to write a daily newsletter to my family and friends letting them follow along with my travels. Then breakfast was always gourmet and sumptuous. Linda went out of her way to make our breakfasts since my wife has special dietary needs with her diabetes and needs to stay on her diet. Linda even got sugar free treats to put on our bed when it was turned down in the evenings. What a delight to stay at a B & B that is in a class by itself. We can't wait to visit Linda & Jim again. Van & Joann, Redmond, WA.

This is the best bed and breakfast that we have stayed at on every level! The innkeepers, Linda and Jim, are so delightful, helpful and they keep the b&b immaculate and comfortable for their guests. The beds are the most comfortable, the rooms are wonderfully appointed with anything you would need. There were delicious cookies, drinks and a welcoming atmosphere when we arrived in the evening. The common areas are so cozy and beautifully decorated. The bathroom as so clean and the amenities were all top notch. The breakfast was superb - gourmet tasting and enough to fill you up. You will not regret staying at this lovely bed and breakfast - they do not disappoint!

We are returning after spending our honeymoon here. Wonderful food by Linda, quiet place, peaceful and relaxing. I will be back every year to celebrate I loved it so much the first time! Macy and Cory

What a wonderful, quiet, romantic place to celebrate turning 50! Jim and Linda were a joy to visit with and were perfect hosts. Thanks for providing us with such special treatment and amenities to make our stay so beautiful. We would highly recommend Ivy House to anyone visiting the Indianapolis area. Its only a short drive away from upscale shopping and dining but offers a scenic drive in the country and the quietness of a small town.

Everything about my visit to the IVY House was perfectly delightful! I enjoyed every moment. What a peaceful, inviting, and beautiful place. The Town of Fortville is so pretty and the people are so friendly. I had a wonderful retreat. ~Sarah

Linda and Jim are kind and considerate. They made us feel right at home from the moment we entered the door. The rooms are really nice with excellent beds, beautiful bathrooms, and many wonderful antiques, vintage doors, and cool nick nacks. There were complementary fresh cookies, tea, water and soda. The breakfast was to die for. Fresh juices, friuit with homemade cheesecake pudding. This was followed by double stuffed french toast with a strawberry topping. Awesome!!!! The home is welcoming and cozy. Linda was a joy to visit with and had many wonderful stories. She was exceptionally helpful with directions and great recommentations.
5 on July 03, 2011
Jim and Linda go above and beyond to meet every need and guarantee a fantastic experience. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated. The breakfast is always a gourmet treat. We have visited several times and are never disappointed. This is a must see!

The Indianapolis 500 race was my draw to the Fortville area last year, and lucky for me I found the Ivy House, Linda and Jim! This year, the Ivy House was as much of the draw as was the Indy 500! I do believe I will stay a third time, sometime soon, and there won't be a race in sight. You must stay here if you have very high expectations of where you stay, and yet you will still be surprised by the hospitality, cleanliness, and comfort of the Ivy House. Last year I stayed for 11 nights, and this year it was "only" 9 nights. The lengthiness is due to the opportunity to truly relax, have a different sumptuous fresh breakfast each morning...I HIGHLY recommend the berry topped stuffed French toast...and a sink-into-comfort bed. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, and as such, I have purchased a duvet, the same pillows and the same towels that Linda and Jim have in each of their rooms! Do not hesitate for a moment in choosing to stay at the Ivy House.

The Ivy House B & B exceeded our bed and breakfast expectations! It was a very WELL maintained and immaculate accommodation and attention to detail was seen throughout the home. A guest feels as though his/her every need or desire has been anticipated. The amenities and breakfast were wonderful. We will certainly recommend this B & B to others.

Attending the Womens Final Four Tournament we decided to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel in the middle of the city. In looking for a place on the internet we came upon The Ivy House, and we found a GEM. We had a wonderful stay at this outstanding B&B. The host and hostess, Jim and Linda, were exceptional, welcoming us into their home with such warmth and delight. Everything was beyond our expectations. The house is beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. Cleanliness is outstanding, over the top. We were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in to the moment we departed. Beds were comfortable with the most wonderful sheets and the mints waiting on a turned down bed in the evening was a lovely touch. Breakfast was delicious, served in a beautiful dining room on an elegant table. We were greeted with homemade baked goods as we arrived and special treats waiting on the buffet server when we returned late in the evening. Nothing was overlooked. We without a doubt would highly reccomend this B&B to all. Our stay was truly amazing and we hope to return one day. One leaves with the feeling that you have made new friends.

My husband and I stayed at Ivy House after attending a very cold and rainy Purdue vs. Michigan game and were feeling warm and welcome from the instant we walked in the door of the inn. Linda showed us right up to our room to dry out and settle in before she talked to us about the inn. We have been to many B&Bs and would put the service and kindness of this inn keeper right at the TOP of our favorites. She even had dessert waiting for us when we arrived. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. We watched one of the inn's DVDs and drifted off to sleep. OK now the best part! BREAKFAST was so yummy! The fruit with dip and juice were the best we can remember and the egg dish was perfectly prepared. We heard stories from one of the other guests about the French toast so we decided to stay another night! We were NOT disappointed!! Linda is a wonderful cook! We enjoyed hearing the history of the house that added to the charm of this beautifully restored historic home. It was originally built by a doctor whose diploma hangs in the formal yet comfortable living room at the front of the inn.

Jim & Linda welcomed us back like family and helped make our "night away" truly memorable. We will definitely stay here again!

This was a lovely retreat ! The facilities were lovely and comfortable, the breakfasts were yummy, and the hosts were attentive, accommodating, and charming without being intrusive. Our only problem with the whole experience was that we had to go back home when it was over :)

Jim and Linda run an excellent Bed and Breakfast. It's a great place for a private wedding, and we've enjoyed spending our anniversaries there.

My husband planned a little getaway for our 35th anniversary. He chose the Ivy House and we couldn't have been more pleased! Jim and Linda were the perfect hosts and their hospitality made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door! We had the most comfortable bed with luxurious linens and a cute little claw-foot tub and plush towels in our bathroom. Breakfast was served at 9:00 AM - not too early - and was delicious! The table was beautifully furnished and we enjoyed visiting with the other guests before we all headed out for the day. The only thing I missed was time to enjoy the porch swing, so I guess we'll have to go back!! Thanks Jim and Linda for making our getaway truly enjoyable!
5 on August 23, 2010
This is the best Bed and Breakfast I ever stayed in! Perfect attention to homely detail and comfort! VERY clean and 5 star cooking to just add to the experience! WOW!!!!
5 on June 06, 2010
The reason for my stay was to attend the Indy 500, and I chose a Bed and Breakfast outside of the city to avoid the hustle and bustle, and to see what there was to see on the outskirts of Indianapolis. The Ivy House was a surprise and a delight at every turn! From the moment I spoke to Linda Nolte on the phone to confirm my reservation (I am not a huge internet user) I found her to be incredibly warm and welcoming; I knew I had found a gem. I was travelling by car from the Toronto, Ontario area, and planned to stay for 9 nights, arriving early to experience Indy track activities, and again, to be a tourist in the area. I have stayed at dozens of B&Bs in the past, and the Ivy House is now at the top of my list. If you are looking for an exeptionally clean, comfortable, cozy home to stay in, and enjoy freshly made absolutely delicious breakfasts (a different one each of my 9 mornings!) and appreciate warm and welcoming hosts, then you must stay at the Ivy House. Jim and Linda were so accommodating, providing me with directions to all my destinations, making a wide variety of dinner suggestions, and even escorting me to some local points of interest! Come to relax, escape, and roam the countryside. You will be very pleased you did!

We spent our honeymoon at the Ivy House 7 years ago and recently revisited on our anniversary. The room was so spectatcular and inviting. We love the period decorating, takes you back in time. You can't help, but to relax. Tha owners are very accommodating and gracious! Can't say enough about the food. We will return...maybe a renewal wedding.

This was an outstanding visit for our first stay at a Bed and Breakfast and It will definatly NOT be our last visit to Ivy House. Beautiful, friendly, delicious, homey, and clean. My husband and I were extremely satisfied and it made our anniversary extra special.

We are so pleased we decided to stay at the Ivy House during our visit to Indianapolis. The inn is beautiful. We felt comfortable and at home right away. Breakfast was delicious-- we stayed several nights and there was a new, delicious meal every morning! We also enjoyed the yummy treats every evening. A beautiful location, an easy 40-minute drive into Indianapolis. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to the area!

The Ivy House is a great B & B! Our room was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the innkeepers were so helpful and friendly! A definite bargain! I would higly recommend this spot tucked away in Fortville!

We had an amazing night of romance and relaxation without any interruptions or distractions- just what the "doctor" ordered! The Ivy House was clean, warm, relaxing, romantic and close to home! It was truly the best of both worlds! After we returned from dinner the innkeepers had baked fresh cookies for us, the bed was turned down and chocolates were waiting for us upstairs to share! WOW...nice extra touch! The Ivy was beautifully decorated, a touch of history everywhere and the innkeepers were great hosts! Breakfast the next morning was delicious-all of our favorites were served!!! We'll definitely be back and will share this "jem in Fortville" with our friends and family! Thanks so much for making Valetine's Day a special night to remember! T & M Anderson, IN

The Ivy House is a cozy gem nestled in small town charm. Decorated to perfection and more than white glove clean this getaway destination is a true resting place. Jim and Linda are warm hosts that immediately seem like old friends, yet they are very respectful of your time to relax and enjoy your stay. This was our second stay and we hope to return for many more delightfull visits.

I found this B&B on the internet on a random search of the Indy area. We are so glad we tried it. We have stayed at many B&B's and this is THE Best! It was so clean. The atmosphere is so relaxing! Jim and Linda are the perfect Innkeepers. They have an eye for detail and it makes the entire stay wonderful! They are at the top of their game.

I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday by secretly booking a night at the Ivy House B&B. We live in Indianapolis and it took only 40 minutes or so to get there. We were greeted by name at the door by Jim who gave us the grand tour. The home was beautiful and the room was immaculate. Everything from the antique sleigh bed to the warm delicious breakfast served to us by Linda was outstanding. It was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing days we have had together in a long time. Staying here was so much more personal than booking a hotel room! I would love to stay here again.

Over the years, my husband and I have stayed at many lovely B+B's. The Ivy House is one of the very best and an unexpected gem tucked away in a charming neighborhood. The home is immaculate, the beds and 300 thread count cotton sheets a slice of heaven, and the food incredible. The innkeeper, Linda, was our favorite part of the stay. After only 2 nights, the Ivy House felt like home and Linda a new friend! If you are reading reviews for an upcoming stay, stop now, pick up the phone or jot off an email, and pray Linda and Jim have availability. Lynn and Michael McCullough Concord Township, Ohio

My husband and I made a visit to Fortville last week. We had such an unexpected surprise when we stayed at the Ivy House. We make it a habit to plan our trips around unique bed and breakfast, so we have stayed at many. By far, the Ivy House was the most beautiful, comfortable and restful. The innkeepers have attended to every detail a traveler could require, and then more! We cannot wait to return! Thank you Jim and Linda. Many Thanks, Gene and Tammy

This was my 4th stay at the Ivy House...our most recent visit was to be part of the INDY Air Show held at the Mount Comfort Airport. It took us only 15 minutes of travel time from the Inn to the Airport. Aside from the beautiful accommodations, the favorite part of our stay is visiting with the owners, Jim & Linda. They are genuine and generous! Their commitment and enthusiasm for what they do, as Inn owners, has inspired us to gift friends and family a stay at the Ivy House, ...so that they can experience this level of pampering for themselves. Our family flies CaZoo-ee!!, a hot air balloon, and our wake-up time was 4:30 AM - early!..yet Jim tiptoed up to our room with a beautifully appointed tray of hot coffee & juice; even "to-go" cups were offered as we left, to keep us awake, as we headed to the air field. Our boys got their caffine via the mini-fridge of assort. pops & water. At the end of each day we soaked in the antique tubs, and floated to sleep on the most heavenly beds. Sunday morning after our flight we returned to the Inn to relax. We decided to sit on the side-porch, using the porch swing, and just felt the breeze and listened to the birds. Next time we hope to take a walk through the gardens or maybe even a longer walk into the picturesque downtown area. Each time we go, there is something new or some little improvement that Jim and Linda think of...though it's hard to improve on perfection...I'm always surprised!

We have stayed in other B&B's and have always enjoyed our time in them - but the Ivy House was WAAAY beyond any expectations we had. Not only was the house charming, interesting and immaculate, but the atmosphere and the hosts were beyond description! We only stayed 2 nights, but we will be back to not only enjoy the area, but also to spend time in such a lovely place and with 2 wonderful people - the Noltes. And we are from Louisiana! The time we spent at Ivy House was so very relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed the Victorian atmosphere and the modern conveniences, too. My husband loved the old fashioned plumbing! I loved the up to date amemities. We had a wonderful time and one that we will be repeating some time in the future! Thanks, Jim and Linda!

My husband and I stayed at the Ivy House for our anniversary. It was beautiful with it's antique doors and period decor! The rooms were immaculate and every need was met! The Innkeepers were very friendly and accomodating but gave us our space as well. Every detail was thought of right down to the beautiful linens and quilts and the plush robes and towels. The breakfast was delicious, stuffed french toast and fruit, yum! We enjoyed going out for dinner close by and then relaxing on the front porch swing. If you want a quiet romantic getaway this is the place! We will definately be a return customer.

I have been meaning to do this for a bit now. What a lovely place to stay! Everything about it was charming but upscale. It is just the perfect place for a business traveler to get away and still feel at home. There is no doubt that this is where I will stay when I travel to Fishers.

I had a fairly spur-of-the-moment plan to whisk my boyfriend away from our real world traffic for a bit. Shopped on my iPhone for a few minutes in the middle of the night and found the Ivy House with all the details spelled out, photos and great reviews. The next day I sent an inquiry to the innkeeper and received a very prompt and pleasant reply. Booked. It seemed perfect. We pulled up in the driveway and just leaned into each other and took a breath of "yessssss" before getting out. Tucked away in a residential area of character-filled homes and neighborhood charm, Spring just starting to take hold of the surroundings, welcome found in every detail. The innkeeper, with whom I had communicated via email a few times prior to arrival, was just as sweet as I knew she would be. The room could not have been more perfect in size and style and privacy. Best bed EVER, perfectly maintained everything, and she had gone to some effort to provide specific flowers I had requested, that were just perfectly presented and made just the right emotional impact. We walked downstairs in the morning holding hands in our jammies to be greeted with a luxuriously healthy meal with a lovely place setting that we could smell baking throughout the house as we stirred awake. Everything was taken care of and we were able to begin a beautiful day with both peace and energy. I wouldn't have changed a thing. All around, an excellent experience that we will absolutely revisit. The Ivy House itself is the perfect example of the bed and breakfast concept--someone opening their home to you and making your presence feel like a treat. Wonderful.

We are from Cincinnati and were looking to get away for a restful, yet fun-filled weekend in Indy. We had a GREAT time at the Ivy House, really enjoyed the meals, rested very well on their excellet beds, and enjoyed coversation with the innkeepers. There is a computer to use, and plenty of information about local activites and restaurants. We would be glad to come back, and recommed the Ivy House to any of our friends.
4.6 on March 11, 2009
Our 2 night stay at Ivy House was just perfect. The innkeepers were there to greet us and made us feel like company, not customers. Our breakfasts were wonderful and the room was beautiful--our bed was heavenly! We would stay at Ivy House again-- very convenient to Indy. Highly recommend!

We stayed two nights while visiting relatives over Christmas - it was a rejuvenating hideaway from the holiday rigmarole! Great breakfasts - three courses, including fruit, eggs/meat, and wonderful baked items. Different items each morning - the hosts are pleasant and allow you to be by yourself when you want, but offer pleasant conversation and enthusiastic service when it is desired! The cost is a bit high for us because we have a very moderate income (we have many kids and some would call us poor!) Otherwise, I would give the "value" 5 stars as well. Luckily, our relatives offer our stay at this B & B to us as a gift . . .

Five of us high school classmates get together annually and frequently stay at a Bed & Breakfast. The Ivy House far exceeded any previous Bed & Breakfast experience I have had. The Jim and Linda made us feel at home. The pristine inn was decorated very tastefully and met all our needs. The desserts were outstanding. I would highly recommend the Ivy House Bed and Breakfast to anyone.
4.8 on October 12, 2008
Having never been to a Bed and Breakfast, we didn't know what to expect. Linda was very helpful, and the grounds were quite beautiful, and so our first stay at any Bed and Breakfast was also where we chose to host our wedding. If you love ivy and cozy houses that always smell of freshly baked goods, the Ivy House is definitely for you! Breakfast was comfortably casual, and Linda's souffle was incredible. The architecture and decorations are well thought out, and we found everything we could have wanted elegantly tucked away within easy reach. It's obvious that the Noltes have much experience in providing hospitality.

Hospitality was ourstanding. We liked info about the area such as where to eat and places to see. It was so nice to be served a delicious breakfast in a homey atmosphere.
5 on August 21, 2008
This was our first real experience at a B & B and we were a bit nervous that we would have to make polite chit chat. As it turns out, Jim & Linda made us feel so welcome & comfortable that chit chat came naturally, like meeting up with friends. The Ivy House is a dream place for antique lovers. The claw foot bath antique tub is a must for bubble bath lovers. Linda has top brands of bubble bath, soaps & lotions for making your skin soft & smelling good. The bed was so comfortable that if I hadn't set the alarm we would have not woke up. We were so cozy and comfortable in our room that I wished we could stay longer. Both Jim & Linda are lovely people and excellent cooks. Breakfast is delicious. They serve a fresh fruit plate with pudding on the side and fresh mint on top. This is just the start of a most delicious breakfast. It's right out of a gourmet kitchen. Antique & History lovers will love this place. Linda had baked a cake and we enjoyed our evening out of their porch swing eating cake & sipping tea. Ahhhh…..can't wait to go back. T. Smith, Green Oaks, IL

My girlfriends and myself have had 3 scrapbooking weekends at the Ivy House. We absolutely love going there for many reasons. Jim and Linda are so nice and really take care of you. It is a wonderful feeling to get scrapbook pages done and pampered all at the same time. Some of us have gone to other B & B's to scrapbook and we keep coming back to the Ivy House because of there kindness and hospitality. The rooms are very nice and the food is excellent. It is definitely a pleasant experience and one you will want to continue year after year.

A dream bed and breakfast! It was the perfect blend of perfected details, wonderful innkeepers, and elegant four star style accommodations. Immaculately kept and not a charm overlooked, we enjoyed our time there very much (oh, and the food!!!). My husband, who is not generally a bed and breakfast type, and I will undoubtedly return soon!
5 on August 27, 2007
From the beautiful setting, to the exquisite rooms, we stayed at the Ivy House B&B last weekend and felt very pampered! From the soap to the wonderful robes to the food, again, we were very impressed. It was like going home again after being away for a long period of time and being greeted by these innkeepers like you were family. The innkeepers were the best, they were easy to talk to and very friendly. It was like talking to your best friends. The breakfast was yummy, and if you had a snack attack, there was plenty of goodies to eat. Thanks for a wonderful stay at a time when we needed to take some time away from the fast paced world and slow down a bit to catch our breath. I would highly recommend this B&B!
5 on August 24, 2007
The Ivy House was a gorgeous property, with fantastic innkeepers and delicious food! Our room was beautiful, private, and extremely clean. The Nolte's are fantastic chefs as well - breakfast both mornings was out of this world. Each night our bed was turned down while we were out, and a plate of fresh baked goodies was put in our room for us. I would love to visit again, and hope we get the opportunity to do so! I would highly recommend this b&b.
4.0 on June 21, 2007
Our girlfriends getaway was wonderful. Just a lovely B&B. This is the nicest place we've ever stayed and we will definitely be back. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evening and just relaxing. The food was delicious, too!

Golden Globes Menu Preview: "Global Food Harmony" for 1,300
The new year brings award season in Los Angeles. The Golden Globes ceremony will cause its annual stir at the Beverly Hilton on January 15, and at a preview Thursday morning, the event's longtime venue debuted the menu at a preview. Executive hotel chef Suki Sugiura and executive pastry chef Thomas Henzi will prepare an internationally influenced menu for 1,300 guests at the 69th annual show in the property's International Ballroom.
Chef Sugiura explained that the concept was "global food harmony, one nation in food," citing ingredients from as far away as Japan—where a region devastated by the tsunami is now producing fine miso again—and as close as California.
The appetizer will be pistachio-crusted pistou ravioli with wild arugula, smoked tomato, kabocha compote, and burrata. And the combination entrée will be miso and sake lees marinated Pacific sea bass with grilled king oyster mushroom, and braised prime short rib of beef with porcini pine nut herb ragout in a light cream of sherry wine ginger tamari sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes, candy-striped beets, baby bok choy, and yellow baby carrots.
The meal will be topped off by a dessert trio of chocolate delice almond crunch terine with acacia honey, caramel, and fresh berries from California, sprinkled with 23-karat edible gold.
The cuisine pairs with Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 2002 magnums specially created for the brand's 21th anniversary with the show.
Mark's Garden will design the flowers, classic arrangements of monochromatic roses.
In addition to the guests of the ceremony, the Beverly Hilton will also host five other viewing and after-parties, including those for NBC Universal, In Style and Warner Brothers, HBO, the Weinstein Company and Relativity Media, and Sony Pictures. (That loosely translates to 10,000 pieces of sushi and 40,000 desserts throughout the nine-acre property.)

ANAHEIM, Calif. Luigis Rollickin Roadsters, the new attraction in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park, is rolling with fun and festivities. Twenty of Luigis cugini (cousins) are visiting from Carsoli, Italy, to help celebrate Race Day in Radiator Springs with music and dancing at Casa della Tires.
Guests are invited to join the excitement by hopping aboard miniature Italian roadsters, inspired by late 1950s micro cars. Each cousin performs the traditional dances of Carsoli, moving to upbeat music and Luigis singing in a precision-choreographed dance across what appears to be a trackless dance floor.
Here at Luigis, the roadsters seem to have a mind of their own, said Kevin Rafferty, Executive Creative Director of Walt Disney Imagineering, When you come back to ride again, chances are youll enjoy an experience thats different than the last time you rode especially since each of the cars has a signature move they love to perform.
The Cousins from Carsoli, Italy
A roadster is an open-top automobile that seats two. While Luigi is a Fiat 500, his cousins are an automobile brand invented by Walt Disney Imagineering, called Frizzante, which had never been seen on Route 66. Now, they are exclusive to Cars Land.
Half of Luigis cousins are male, and half are female. Guests may identify them by the front-end chrome grill moustache on the male roadsters.
All of Luigis family members have their own names and unique looksexcept for two coral-colored cars. Although they are identical sisters, guests may notice that Rosa has green eyes, and Gina has blue eyes.
The cars have Italian license plates representing the place of their registration: their hometown of Carsoli, Italy.
Each roadster performs his or her own routine, offering a different ride experience depending on which car a guest boards and which song is playing.
Fun Facts
- Rollick means to behave in a jovial and exuberant fashion.
- Luigis Rollickin Roadsters is the first Disney attraction in the United States with a trackless ride system.
- Guests will enjoy spinning, turning and gliding across the track as the energetic roadsters perform their routines. The ride experience is also fun to watch, as the cars interact and dance together.
- The cousins need a lot of vrooom to demonstrate the dances of their village. The trackless dance floor behind Luigis Casa della Tires is approximately 125 feet long and 70 feet wide.
- Luigi is such a huge fan of Italian Formula Racer, Francesco Bernoulli from the DisneyPixar film Cars 2, that he created a very special moment in his garden to showcase an Autopiary of his legendary hero.
- In honor of his cousins coming over to Cars Land for a glorious day of dancing, Luigi ordered the Fettuccini tire companys newest model in dancing tires, the Danza. Around the queue and Casa della Tires, guests will see posters and banners sent from Fettuccini to go with Luigis order.
- In addition to dancing, Luigi and his cousins also sing vocals for the songs heard on the attraction.
Guests may hear these songs:
Rollicking Night and Day sung by Luigi himself
Mambo Italiano sung by cousin Rosetta
The Tire-antella with call outs from Luigi
Eh, Cumpari sung by cousin Lou
Funiculi Funicula with call outs from Luigi

El Paso, TX — Lay's® Potato Chips held a press conference today to announce it's top three finalists for The LAY'S® Do Us A Flavor™ Contest. The first place winner will receive a million dollars that will be given away February 29th, 2013.
Lay's® president Bill Hanover said it was a tough decision picking the top three flavors. "We received millions of great submissions and tasty flavors, but in the end I think we picked the best three. Now it's up to the public to decide who gets the million dollars!"
Joyce Barth was one of the entrants in the contest and said she was sad to hear that she was not one of the top three chosen. "I really thought my Apricot Chipotle had a chance," Barth said. "Well at least I hope the prize goes to a good person who really deserves the money."
Paul Horner from Laveen, Arizona is one of the top three finalists. He explained to reporters today about his potato chip entry and what his thought process was behind creating it. "My three ingredients for my 'Mitt Romney Hates You' potato chip was 'Poor People', 'Blacks & Latinos' and the 'LGBT Community'," Horner said. "Then I started thinking that flavor would be pretty gross. That's kind of like what a cannibalism flavor would taste like if there was one. So I decided to change the flavor to more of an evil, lying, anti-christ flavor with each bite thinking it's better than you are. Well, that's what the judges liked I guess because now I'm one of the top three finalists. That million dollar prize is mine!"
Here are the top three choices Lay's® made available for the voting public. The top voted on flavor by February 29th, 2013 at midnight will receive the million dollars. You must have a Facebook account to vote. Choose wisely!

Former slugger Danny Tartabull, who played for the Mariners, Royals and Yankees in his 14-year Major League Baseball career, is wanted in Los Angeles County for failing to pay more than $276,000 in child support.
He tops the SoCal county's list of "most wanted" deadbeat dads, owing more money than any of L.A.'s other fugitive fathers.
Tartabull, 50, pleaded no-contest in January 2011 when he was charged with failing to pay child support for his sons Zach and Quentin. He was given probation and now owes $276,204.93 in child support, according to the L.A. County Child Support Services Department.
"He failed to comply with the terms of his probation and on May 2, 2012, he was ordered to surrender and serve 180 days in county jail," the department notes (PDF). "Mr. Tartabull failed to appear and the court issued a warrant for his arrest with bail set at $200,000."
You'd think Tartabull would have the money to pay his child support. After all, he made nearly $33 million as a major-league slugger, hitting 262 home runs over 14 years with the Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox.
Born in 1962 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tartabull started his career in Seattle and was fifth in A.L. Rookie of the Year voting in 1986, his third year appearing in the majors but first playing more than 19 games. He was an All-Star in his fifth and final season with the Royals in 1991, when he batted .316 and led the league with a .593 slugging percentage. That earned him a five-year, $25 million contract from the Yankees.
Tartabull never quite lived up to expectations, though, and while he hit 31 homers in 1993, he batted in the mid .200s through the remainder of his career. After the Yankees traded him to Oakland partway through 1995, Tartabull finished his time in the majors with one season with the White Sox in '96 and a short, three-game stint with the Philadelphia Phillies in April 1997 before retiring.
At some point, Tartabull settled in California. His older son, Zach, was a wide receiver at Valencia High School in Valencia, Calif., and is now apparently a model. Tartabull's younger son, Quentin, is a star defensive back at Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, Calif., and reportedly has verbally committed to play football at Cal.

The Healing Power of Art – Dr. Richard Cork
As I was headed out toward the exit to head back home, walking past the daily announcement board near the reception, I saw that there was a lecture based on a book launch that evening. "Richard Cork: The Healing Power of Art," it said. The possible implications on the scientific function of art was a rather unusual subject, so I quickly read over the description, and the mention of Rogier van der Weyden grabbed me. Two years ago, I have attended a presentation about his Beaune Altarpiece and its commission for the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, and I remembered that I was fascinated by the fiery damnation depicted in the work and the reason for its display for the hospital's dying patients. Fragmented memories and the feeling of my earlier questions rose up to the surface.
After considering it for a little longer as I emptily continued reading (…El Greco…Mattias Grünewald at Isenheim…), I decided to attend the lecture. I quickly went up the three flights of stairs to the top floor entrance. Slightly winded, I placed my ears near the door, and listened. A male voice was talking about traveling, and there was a polite laughter. The lecture had already begun, but I could tell that Cork wasn't that far along in his presentation. I opened the door cautiously and with a quick, shuffling walk up to an empty section in to the door side, near the front row.
Thankfully, Cork had not started talking about the artworks yet. I probably missed the part where he explained why he decided to take on this project, which, in hindsight, would have clarified some lingering questions I had about the talk. I initially intended to just sit and enjoy the talk, but as I began to listen to him talk about his first encounter in his travels, the Innocenti Hospital in Florence, I opened my bag, took out my notebook and pen, and began taking notes.
Cork led us through his travels to uncover the art in hospitals in the Continental Europe and the UK within a mostly chronological and geographical framework. He relayed his studies from his visit to the Innocenti Hospital in Florence, passing through Sienna to Beaune to see Rogier van der Weyden's panels of the Last Judgement, then to Isenheim and Grünewald's altarpiece.
Some of the more vivid examples, such as van der Weyden's depictions of the extremes of redemption and damnation, and Grünewald's affecting image of the suffering Christ on the cross, looking diseased and his face contorted in pain in the Isenheim piece. These pieces in particular seems to offer a glimpse of the diverse attitudes of societies toward their sick to today's audiences.
His focus moved to Spain from there, lingering on El Greco and his contributions like the Madonna of Mercy (1603-1605) for the Illescas Church Hospital, deemed blasphemous during his time for representing figures in contemporary dress, and his dynamic portrayal of the apocalypse at the Tevera Hospital in Toledo, depicting St. John and the murdered people abandoning themselves to the End, their faces and bodies reaching up to the heavens.
He then traced his steps to London, where he encountered Caius Gabriel Cibber's contorted faces and bodies of madness that once decorated the gateway into the Royal Bethlam Hospital, James Thurnhill's English Baroque paintings adorning the dining room of William and Mary Hospital for Seamen (now known as the Painted Hall in Greenwich), William Hogarth's hopefully thematic Healing of Bethesda (1736) at the Baths Hospital, and Richard Dowd's numerous works that were created on the premises while mad and confinement to the Broadmore Hospital. For more recent examples, Cork also looked at Leger's Le Fleur qui Marche (1952), and Naum Gabo's public sculpture for the fountains at St Thomas's.
Through these many examples, he gave a vivid telling of stories about a selection of artworks and their connection to hospitals. As my interest lay in getting a further understanding of unusual functions of visual arts, I felt that Cork could have given us a bit more, because although he gave us some conjectures about what contemporary viewers would feel while looking at these works, he did not explicitly addressed the issue of why art would be used in the hospitals for each historical context within the lecture. But it may have been a strategy to prompt the audience to refer to the book, and in that the lecture gave a taste of the small selection of artworks included in his book, it was a good presentation to accompany a book launch.

West Hill School, UK
Innovative bar code wristband technology improves student safety on Kenya school trip
West Hill School is a comprehensive, secondary school in Stalybridge, United Kingdom. With over 60 staff members and 890 pupils, the school organises bi-annual trips as part of its extracurricular activity programme. Each trip may involve over 50 pupils and helpers, so there is an urgent need for the school to have a reliable and secure registration system in place to record attendance and monitor pupils' welfare efficiently, whilst providing this information in real-time.
Through barcode Data, a Zebra channel partner, the school deployed an innovative software recording system called Pupiltrak which uses Zebra wristbands and ID cards to identify students. This was first used on a trip to Kenya in 2011. Pupiltrak had originally been designed for day trips, so this 6-week African excursion was an interesting experiment for the school. Following the success of the trip, the school now uses this system for all school trips and activities such as "The Duke of Edinburgh's Award" scheme. (The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is the world's leading achievement award for young people and includes an expedition section as part of this).
The school arranges excursion trips overseas for pupils for around 6 weeks or more. This often involves large groups of pupils, teachers and trip helpers. Generally such excursions can be a logistical challenge for teachers, as they are responsible for pupils' health and safety and also need to ensure that they are continually accounted for. Travelling abroad for an extended period of time also adds pressure to accompanying staff and trip helpers. At times it can be very difficult and stressful keeping track of each pupil's movements, particularly in busy, crowded areas.
Previously, manual paper systems were used which had its set of challenges: students would often lose or damage their ID papers that contained important emergency contact information.
The solution used by West Hill school consists of software connected to a Zebra HC100 printer which prints wristbands and Zebra P120i card printer for identification (ID) cards.
During the 2-month long West Hill School trip to Kenya, the solution was adapted slightly to suit the staff's specific needs. Both the wristbands and ID cards needed to contain a large amount of information, including emergency contact numbers for parents, teachers and contact details of pupils' overseas accommodation.
The wristbands contained personalised encrypted information and barcodes, which could be scanned, recorded. The system could immediately notify teachers if a pupil was missing. Parents were also reassured as pupils were given unique identification (ID) codes so that their names did not need to be printed onto the actual wristbands.
"This is the first time that West Hill School has used advanced ID technology in school trips. It certainly provided the extra support our staff needed to locate all the pupils quickly and ensure our pupils are safe at all times. The wristbands and ID cards were easy to use and contained useful information for our pupils which gave them extra reassurance in a foreign environment. We were able to print our logos on the wristbands, which made it a memorable keepsake for those who took part."
- Personalised and barcoded wristbands and ID cards provide students with easy access to parents and teachers' contact details in case of any emergency.
- Instant ID with the yellow wristbands enabled teachers to pin point their students quickly and easily, particularly in crowded areas.
- The easy tracking system enabled teachers to quickly scan the pupils' wristbands and be aware of any missing pupils.
- Secure data encryption protects students' personal details in public places.
- Customisable ID cards with the school's name and local safari park logo enabled teachers to easily identify pupils from their group. Equally it was also a memorable keepsake for the pupils once the pupils returned home at the the end of the trip.
- Durable and long-lasting wristbands minimised damage and loss, making it a safe and cost-effective way to ensure pupils' safety during the trip.

Video coordinator Bryan Johnson dug into the archives for rookie closer Hector Santiago to find video of former left-handed screwball pitchers Fernando Valenzuela, Tug McGraw and Willie Hernandez.
Santiago, who got his fourth save in five chances, threw only one screwball as he looks to rediscover the pitch he said was better for him last season. He attributes that, in part, to higher seams on minor-league baseballs, allowing for a better grip and more spin, but he wants to do everything in his power to make it an important part of his arsenal. Santiago watched the tapes to see how the ball came out of the aforementioned trio's hands.
"I'm kind of a fastball guy now,'' Santiago said. "Usually I'm a changeup guy trying to sneak a fastball in, but right now I'm just going after guys.''
BTW, here's a link to the Pitch F/X numbers for Santiago's outing.

Traditional Collect Calls
The traditional collect call method is good if you will only receive inmate calls on house phones or other landlines. Some phone providers block all calls from penal institutions but if your company allows them:
Your account will be automatically created as soon as you accept the first call from a jail/prison
Your account number is your phone number
You will receive a 90 day rolling spending limit
Your charges will appear on your next phone bill
Limitations: You are subjected to a 90-day rolling limit on spending. When you accept the call, the charges will be deducted from that available limit and Securus submits the charges to your phone company. If you exceed your 90 day limit within the rolling 90 days, your Direct Billing account is blocked until your charges roll off through payment of your phone bill. You will still be able to receive other phone calls during this time, just no calls from penal institutions.
Click here to learn more about Traditional Collect Calls and how to set up the account.
Inmate Debit
An inmate debit account gives the inmate a prepaid phone account that can be used for calls. Many jails/prisons allow inmates to transfer money from their jail/commissary accounts to their inmate debit accounts to pay for calls. Friends and families are also typically allowed to help fund those accounts. There is a $7.95 fee each time you fund the account. You can deposit $0.01 - $100.00 each time.
The inmate can call anyone who is approved on their call list without requiring each of those people to set up their own prepaid phone accounts
You can deposit money to an inmate's phone account without having to set up your own account
Calls can be made to cell phones (as long as the jail/prison does not restrict it).

Can I Communicate By Email With An Inmate?
A growing number of jails now offer email services to inmates and their families. This can save you time by letting you view your email from your smart phone, computer, or tablet, whenever you wish.
You don't have to deal with envelopes, stamps or the post office.
Inmates like it because the emails typically eliminate delayed mail runs so they can get your correspondence quickly and send responses immediately.
Jail staffs like it as it eliminates concerns about contraband entering the facility in envelopes and on paper. It also allows the jail to have an electronic record that can be called upon at any time.
Anything you or your inmate writes in an email service is put through a filtering program that looks for certain words related to criminal and/or gang activities.
There have been multiple cases in which emails between inmates and their friends or loved ones have been used as evidence in criminal court cases to convict them or to file new charges.
This facility does not offer email services to inmates. The policy can change at any time.
Call 770-619-6700 or click here to see if email services are currently being offered at this jail and if so, how to sign up you and your inmate.
Important Tips About Jail Phone Calls
If you were unable to find the information you were looking for on this page, call Gwinnett County Detention Center at 770-619-6700 and ask their policies on getting phone calls from your inmate.
If your inmate has had behavior issues, phone privileges might be revoked or suspended.
Many jails and prisons are increasingly restricting the amount of time that an inmate can use the phone by placing daily and monthly limits, so try to pace yourself and not use up all your time at the beginning of the month.
Jails limit an inmate's phone time to certain hours of the day, so it is important you keep a regular schedule that works for both you and your inmate.
If your inmate does not call you during the time you both have scheduled, don't panic. There are often long lines for phone use. When a jail is on lockdown due to a fight or other security issue they do not allow the phones to be used.
Phones are the only way for an inmate to hear your voice and temporarily 'escape' the loneliness of incarceration, so use your time well. Arguing about anything will leave you both feeling empty and guilty, so avoid it at all costs.
All phone conversations are recorded. Whatever you talk about, can and will be used against your inmate in court. Never discuss their pending criminal case!

It appears there may be a new way to fight ebola, since an experimental serum appears to have had a nearly miraculous effect in its first application to a young male American doctor who had caught ebola. A second victim, a middle-aged female volunteer aid worker, also American, has also received the serum, and she's improving, apparently, though not as quickly as the doctor.
All the networks have medical experts, doctors, commenting on the disease and explaining how the serum works, but you can almost sense them hoping they aren't asked about the ethical aspects. You see, there normally are protocols to be followed before that would forbid just giving an experimental and unproven drug to someone outside these protocols.
Normally, it takes years of first animal tests before CONTROLLED tests on humans are tried. The controls are there to make sure that (a) the drug works as hoped and (b) has no deleterious side effects.
These protocols have been a major source of friction and frustration because many a person has died for the lack of a drug which later on was proved to meet effectivness and safety standards.
Finally, there's the sticky question of why were two Americans chosen as test subjects rather than two of the African victims?
Your thoughts...?
Views: 275
They need to work on this, as basically this virus has gone viral. I don't think it is contained. In order to survive it, you need one good immune system, lots of rest and need assistance with fluids etc, I don't many can survive it alone just with relying on the immune system.
The serum would save a lot of lives, actually when sick with such a virus knowing your chances of surviving are extremely slim, I know myself if I had it, I would volunteer to be a test subject, since it might or may increase my chances of survival and also save lives other than myself.
I don't know why the African people were given the choice choose to be involved in the medical research for the serum , or choose to bank on their immune systems to survive.
I have few qualms about the ethics of bypassing usual protocols in testing the serum that might slow or mitigate the effects of this virus. Given the nature of the symptoms, the high mortality rate, and the speed with which it is spreading, I see no reason not to fast-track the process. This disease can kill within days of symptoms manifesting; time is of the essence. The people on whom the serum is being used have little to lose, and possibly everything to gain, and the fact that they are themselves medical personnel means they are more than capable of assessing the risks inherent in allowing themselves to be test subjects, and making an informed choice, which may be one of the reasons that they were chosen to be the first on whom the serum was tested.
Certainly, just being Americans works in their favor. You're an American, you have access to American doctors and healthcare, for what it's worth. It isn't fair, necessarily, but there it is. In addition, in a very real sense, these individuals are the first responders to a potential disaster that is less immediately traumatic than a bomb blast or a natural disaster, but could be no less devastating in terms of loss of life. If we do not care for our first responders, who will be there to respond? Saving the lives of the doctors who are willing to risk themselves to care for those who are ill seems like an eminently ethical thing to do, in my opinion. .
Pleased to meetcha! I'm daughterofkarl, and new to the forum. Thank you for the provocative post!
But there are African doctors, too, and while there's a chance this American doctor may go back, he may also think he's pressed his luck enough and stay here in the US, whereas curing an African doctor would seem to have more benefit in Africa where ebola is raging.
I'm from Africa and this is my take:
Imagine...giving the drug to the African doctor...imagine the African doctor dying from complications....imagine the backlash that untested and unapproved medicine was given to that African doctor...you know what type of backlash it would bring on??
We all know what happened to basic polio vaccinations in the Middle East where it was deemed by the taliban to be a "weapon" by the West to target the people and cause them to be sterile, etc...resulting in millions of people not being vaccinated and the disease to flare up after years of being dormant...
Please refer: http://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/cultural-perspect...
"in Cameroon in 1990, rumors and fears that public health officials were administering a range of childhood vaccines to sterilize women thwarted the country's immunization efforts.[18]Similarly, in Tanzania in the mid 1990s, a missionary raised concerns about tetanus immunizations, sparking sterilization rumors and halting the campaign.[17] And in 2005, measles vaccine suspicions led to decreased vaccination rates and increased infections in Nigeria.[19]"
Basically I think they are wise not to have rushed into the region and use it on the local population...it could do much more harm than good if it doesn't work...and I am not only referring to the possible death of the particular doctor.
There have been plenty of final stage cancer patients who've run out of options and would be happy to try something experimental, but typically such cases are denied access to experimental drugs. I think your "mercy procedure" is a myth based on wishful thinking.
Here in the United States they, the doctors, would be bound by laws prohibiting their use of the vaccine; but Africa?
Ethics. Here in the United States the Food and Drug Administration denied Aids patients the use of a medication that would help them with their symptoms. It wasn't a cure but it does expand life expectancy. See "Dallas Buyers Club". The FDA prohibited it's use. Later they fast tracked it.
Ethics: Who's ethics? The bible thumping crowd that denies a woman freedom of choice? The megalomaniac's who own pharmaceuticals that influence politicians to vote against a drug because it will have an effect on their bottom line?
Informed consent, to me, is the critical part of the ethical question. Are potential recipients of the serum aware of the risks before they agree to it? How much understanding of the workings of the serum is required or is it enough to say "you will die without it"? Are they of sound enough mind to consent; are they feverish, hallucinating, so terrified they will agree to anything? If they are unconscious, who has medical power of attorney?
Maybe drug trial protocols should be reconsidered. It seems to me that with decades of data related to how various medications interact with the body, research doctors will become better at predicting how new compounds will work. They're not totally shooting in the dark anymore. Shouldn't that shorten trial times?
Why Americans? Maybe the doctor was better able than most to give informed consent.
Informed consent, to me, is the critical part of the ethical question. Are potential recipients of the serum aware of the risks before they agree to it?
Perhaps what you mean is that people should be allowed to accept the risks in extreme cases, even if they don't know what they are.
Discovering the risks, determining correct dosages, etc., is why the protocols are there in the first place. The "informed" part of "informed consent" means, in the case of drugs, having that sort of information. As I understand it, the only tests so far have apparently been on monkeys, who are usually, though not always, good models of whether a drug is effective on humans. Drugs, and even foods, that are harmless to humans can kill dogs and cats, and there's no reason to assume that simply because something works on monkeys, it can't be dangerous to humans.
Another point I hadn't considered is how much of a given experimental drug is even in existence. I assume they only make small quantities for testing purposes, without intending to distribute it beyond the lab. A trend of people taking drugs that had not fully passed the testing protocols could be problematic.
I've been in school overtime this summer, and didn't even know of this story! Quite interesting. I read up a bit on it, days late, but late reading of news has its advantage of skipping over the wild and speculative reports. Anyway, from what I've read...
Two separate questions: Americans vs. Africans. We obviously have no say in how non-Americans should be dealt with.
As for how I feel about ethical treatment of Americans... to my limited knowledge, antibodies (in this case, monoclonal antibodies) are made very specific, and their targets should, by design, be specific pathogens. I would definitely volunteer to this one, even with my limited knowledge, and believe it's absolutely ethical to let medical professionals make their own decisions in this kind of fast-moving crisis, as long as appropriate attention is paid to documenting the treatment and outcomes.
Another huge, potential problem in an uncontrolled epidemic (as in Africa), is the unintended consequence of the development of resistance by the pathogen. Boko Haram (et al) would have a field day with that.

The right-wing, nationalist True Finns party has made sweeping gains in the Finnish Parliamentary elections, going from 4% to 19.4% of the vote. This places the party in third place, and feasibly within reach of coalition seats. This is worrying for the rest of Europe, as they have stated their opposition to the bailout fund, over which Finland would have a veto. Instability ahead? Let's look at the new parliament make-up.

It's hard to believe that nearly two decades have passed since one time Heavenly Social mainstay Bob Stanley started Saint Etienne with fellow capital based DJ Pete Wiggs. Initially nothing more than a side-project for their more dance-orientated pop, Saint Etienne went on to become something of a household name by making easy-listening 1960s pop fashionable again, simultaneously adding 'kitsch' to the list of sub-genres we still see bandied around today.
Somewhat surprisingly, Saint Etienne never actually achieved a Top Ten single - but even though their commercial success never quite matched the critical platitudes, their music continues to attract a whole new generation of followers, particularly now, in the dance-heavy climate the UK's guitar underground currently finds itself in.
London Conversations compiles thirty-five of their best known songs, making it the nearest thing to a Saint Etienne anthology you're likely to find. Although some may argue that their presence in the grand scheme of musical development is hardly worthy of such a hefty collection, it would be fair to say that the majority of this record stands the test of time well, the older material even more so than those songs taken from most recent record Tales From Turnpike House.
Their first two releases, 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' and 'Kiss And Make Up' (both cover versions) still sound as fresh and invigorating as they did back then without ever falling into X-Factor pastiche territory, while the glorious post-rave comedown of 'Nothing Can Stop Us' - ex-model and long-time cohort Sarah Cracknell's first contribution to Saint Etienne - and spine tingling kitchen-sink drama of 'Like A Motorway' are frankly untouchable pieces of avant-garde pop that haven't been matched by anyone since. Elsewhere, 'Join Our Club' and 'You're In A Bad Way' are prototype Girls Aloud, while 'Who Do You Think You Are' is mid-nineties London's classier yin to Pulp's grittier South Yorkshire yang.
All in all, then, London Conversations is a fitting tribute to one of Britpop's most underrated survivors.

Bargainista Fashionista is on ELLEuk.com's What ELLE Wears blog again this week! Not sure I look as cool as everybody else but, should you care, this is what I wore to work on Monday:
Charles Anastase for Matches T-shirt
Gap flared jeans (a £6.99 sale buy I've just discovered at the back of my wardrobe!)
Vintage bag from eBay
Marks & Spencer Autograph range wedge sandals
I totally recommend this season's trend for flared jeans – they make your legs look longer, which is always a good thing in my book.

We believe in preparing doctors for success in all aspects of the dental profession. Our curriculum integrates behavioral science topics, such as human resource and practice management, ethics and dental jurisprudence. Third-year students study topics such as epidemiology and demography of the older population, basic processes of aging, and dental management of hospitalized patients, geriatric patients and those with the most common disabling conditions.
Students are counseled individually with regard to establishing a practice and applying for postgraduate education. A weekend conference devoted to new developments in dentistry serves to acquaint students with opportunities for postgraduate education and with alumni views of the realities of dental practice.
One unit of credit is awarded for 10 hours of lecture or seminar, 20 hours of laboratory or clinic, or 30 hours of independent study per term.
Students are assigned to comprehensive care clinics for approximately 500 hours during the second year and 1,000 hours during the third, in addition to specialty clinic rotations. Units of credit are assigned in the comprehensive care clinical disciplines in proportion to time students provide specific types of care for assigned patterns.
