Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I think the best solution here would be to hire someone to mow it with a gas powered trimmer.
Sounds way to wet to have a tractor around and still be safe plus the cost and dangers of weed killers sound like a bad choice to me.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I"m new to the forum and I'm sure this has been mentioned before many times but, every time I hear
someone talking about raising and lowering a sickle bar on a mower, my thought is be sure not to get your
fingers between the guards where the blade slides when raising or lowering the bar. I have a real funky looking little
finger on my right hand from learning this the hard way some 55 years ago.
Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I have used Roundup around my pond for 20 years, and it has not effected the fish at all. I have Bass, blue gill, and catfish in my pond. I do have stone all around the pond bank.. The stones go from the top of the bank down into the water. I spray the weeds that come up thru the stones.
Hope this helps.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
The sickle probably wont work for the pond bank as has already been discussed due to being to wet or steep.
A couple thoughts anyway:
Lifting to transport position may not be necessary if you're close by. Mower is 5' (or 4.5') and Cub is about 5' wide. That'll easily go through a 12' gate or any similar opening. I've driven my Cub with a sickle about 1/2 mile down the highway in the lowered position. Have to watch out for mailboxes and signs though. Raising it makes it take up less room to park but that may not be an issue depending on available space.
You're only cutting at most a 5' width, so depending on how much bank and tall stuff you have, you'll still have to get within about 4' of the water.
Operating a sickle effectively takes practice. First gear on a Cub seems awfully slow until you try to operate a sickle and then it becomes Warp speed. You have to watch and keep the bar in the right place, at the right height, with the engine speed going fast enough to cut, that the grass is not clogging up, where's the end of the bar if there are obstacles to avoid, then try to keep the bar out of the already cut grass. Plus doing all that you still have to start, stop, and steer the tractor and operate the PTO.
Definitely get a second tractor if you have back issues. I put my sickle on in the spring and it stays on that Cub until fall. While it's easier after you do it a few times it's still a pain. I'm sure some sort of cradle/carrier could be made like some guys make for their mower decks. Changing back and forth between the Woods would also eat up a lot of time.
Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
And keep all pets and kids chained or inside. Well just the pets on the chain, not the kids. Many people don't realize how many pets and people have lost feet, fingers and whatever to a sickle bar. They are well hidden in tall grass and Ol' Bowser may run up to you before you can stop and there goes a leg. Kids get excited about Daddy on the tractor and are liable to come out of nowhere.
Also make sure the area to be mowed is clear of rocks, logs. fence posts etc. Sickle knives don't usually like those things.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I would not use a Cub on a pond dam they are just too high center, don't ask me how I know, very dangerous

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Maybe I'm an old lady, but I wouldn't use my sickle mower on any ground over 10 degrees. Just this year, 2 guys in surrounding counties here have been killed when their tractors overturned on them.
That being said, look at your mower carefully, taking into account all the places where you don't want your fingers to be. They are good tools that do the job, but they are brutal and unforgiving.
The vibration causes the bolts that hold it on the tractor to work loose, so have a wrench with you and periodically tighten the bolts. Grease everything that moves daily.
If you can't find the drive pulley I posted a solution about a month ago.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Thanks gentlemen for the input. As a steward of the land, I certainly don't want to use any chemicals for fear of ruining not only my water, but possibly the waters below my land. This pond's water eventually flows into the Haw River, and that's big time.
As promised, here are some photos of the place: (far side of pond bank with garden area in the background.) far side of pond showing beginning of dam. (near side of pond dam under pecan tree). (Far side pond bank with trees pecan trees). (pond dam with trees turning fall colors)

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I will not address the mower issue, since it has been discussed thoroughly. However, I will wade in on the Roundup used on a pond.
Bottomline, even thou Roundup (glyphosate) works around a pond, IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE IT. PERIOD. Roundup is not labeled for use over water and to use it so is a violation and carries some very stiff penalties, penalties that you would not like to pay.
Rodeo is a glyphosate product formulated to work, and labeled, for use over water. USE THIS PRODUCT.
People who use pesticide products improperly are contributing to continued/increased regulations, regulations often not well thought out or effective. However, regulations that we must all live with.
READ THE LABEL. Apply according to the lable.
There, I will get off my soapbox.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Not only do they contribute to increased regulations, they also contribute to the cost.
All products sold today whether it be a pesticide or any other material listed in the hazardous materials guidebook or beyond comes with an environmental disposal fee padded into the price because of consistent misuse of these products.
Not only do we pay for the product, we are paying for the cleanup of that product in case it is misused or spilled along the way.
A few decades of Carte Blanche hazardous materials disposal finally awakened the government, and probably for good cause, that we were polluting our land and water at a rate of no recovery.
We need to practice environmentally safe disposal practices in front of our children and grandchildren to impress upon them what was done 20 or 30 years ago with that leftover can of whatever may have not been the right choice.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
I use mine to clear overgrown weeds and small sapplings around a pond and along the woods. If the bank is a little sloped, you get a nice cut. I wait for a dry period to do it. The blade will work at an [up] angle as well. Requires a lot of brute force to handle the blade all around. I have a smaller sickle that attaches to the front of an old walk behind tractor. That one does a really nice job in tight spots and it's considerably easier to handle. I've taken that one into mud with no issues. Handles like a snow blower, but with bigger wheels.
Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Believe me, I don't really care to use Roundup or any other chemicals around this pond if I can possibly avoid it. This water hole has served me in my younger years with many years of pleasure.
The swimming in the deepest part of the pond with the outside temperatures in the 90+ degree area, and floating around hovering just above the underground springs was a real pleasure for not only myself, but past girlfriends.
Yogie, I did try to get three different guys to weedeat around the pond. Everyone of them did it one time and one time only. They swore they'd never do it again, even though I was paying them. They all wanted quick money for the job. It takes a lot of time to weedeat around a pond and do it right.
I'm currently thinking about using my 2000 yr model Simplicity with a 50" mowing deck around the pond to see what it will do. I'm hoping there is enough mower deck overhang to at least get the worst of the grass/weeds. I really have little other choice right now.
I am going to see if I can find an older model garden tractor - Cub Cadet/Allis Chalmers/Simplicity/Sears Suburban/etc with a sickle mower attachment and see if I can get by with that. I'm aware that most of the engines in those tractors are oil sling, so I'll probably ruin the engine. But, maybe I can do an engine upgrade to a new model pressure lube and not have to worry about it.
Too bad my back and shoulders can't take the beating anymore. Oh well. That's life I guess.
Thank you all for your input. You've all raised some great issues to consider.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
What you really need is a bat-wing mower that will mow depressions. That would take care of the grass on the side of the pond yet still allow you to keep the tractor on terra firma.
So far I haven't been able to find anything to mow the water side of my pond either. I will be paying attention to what you find.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Yea, don't bother with a Cub & sickle mower around that pond. I tried it at our pond at the Decoy Club, and it was worthless. Similar banks and you either could not get the bar down enough to actually cut, or it felt like the tractor was going to tip over. I handle the tractors for the club, and I recently picked up a Cub Cadet 1864 with a 54" mower deck. I like this machine because it still has dash mounted hydro lever, and a Kohler 18-hp Magnum engine with spin on oil filter and full pressure lubrication. I actually made 2 1/2" wide wheel spacers for the back and put Ag tires on the back. Tell you what, you can mow almost right down to the water's edge with that tractor. With the wheel spacers and ag tires, it is VERY stable. The 54" mower is nice too, because it mows about 10" wider than the rear wheels. The dash mounted hydro lever is nice because you don't have to worry about having a foot available for the ground speed control, if you shift your butt around on the tractor to balance things out, you can always reach the dash lever to control the ground speed.
I think your Simplicity Landlord will work good, and you may even think about the wheel spacer and Ag tires. Also, your Simplicity should be a full pressure lubrication engine, with a spin-on oil filter, so there's no way to starve the engine of oil. It also has the dash mounted hydro controls, which I think is a plus (for this application) Sounds like the way I'd go if it were me. Another Simplicity to look for may be a Conquest or a Prestige. They are the same size as the Landlord, but newer, and were offered with 54" mower decks. I had a Conquest before buying my Legacy 4x4, and I still think that it was a better mowing machine than the Legacy. The nice thing about the Conquest is that it is still a manual lift, manual steering machine, so all the power from the engine goes to the tranny and PTO. The Prestige is the exact same tractor, with hydraulic lift and power steering, so you have some power losses there, and it's a bit heavier because of the extra equipment. The down side to either of these is the foot controlled hydro controls. Just not sure if that would work if you had to shift your weight around on the tractor, and couldnt reach the pedal.

Re: Please tell me about using a Farmall Cub Sickle mower
Hi Bill - Gitractorman.
Here's some photos of my Simplicity: Left Side of the Simplicity.
Right Side of my Simplicity.
Left side showing differential lock lever.
This Simplicity has a 50 " mowing deck with gator blades on it. Auto traction control (Posi-traction for some of us folks), and then the locking differential. Locking differential is nice, but you lose your steering. The tractor wants to go in a straight line, so use cautiously!
I bought this tractor after moving from the old place, so I have no idea how it will work. I'm thinking now that maybe I can use this to get close to the edge of the pond bank, then use the Cub with the Woods 42 to do the rest. Doing it that way means *more* seat time, and both tractors get some usage.
The Simplicity does have spin on oil filter and pressure lube. With the rollers on the back of the mowing deck, that should provide some extra stability near the edge of the pond bank. It does have foot controlled hydro, but it also has those pucker factor hand holds on the fenders too.
I'd still love to have a Farmall Cub with sickle mower to do this chore, but safety is a primary factor here.
Now what do you think? Floor is wide open gents.

I became interested in soundproofing at about the same time that my two teenage sons got into rock 'n' roll. Heavy-metal music blasted from their bedrooms, and whenever their rock band rehearsed in the basement we could hear drums reverberate throughout the house. To turn the volume down, I included a basement practice room when we built our new house. Now when the band rehearses, we can still hear them — but it's not loud enough to bother us.
To build the practice room, I used many of the same sound-attenuation products and construction techniques used to build professional recording studios. Since then, I've adopted these methods to silence laundry rooms, isolate attic furnaces, and make bedrooms quieter in the homes my company builds.
To build a quiet house, you have to understand how sound travels and how to stop it. Sound-absorbing materials — like carpet or acoustical tile — can help control resonance and make a room seem quieter, but they don't necessarily stop sound from traveling to adjacent areas. To do that, you need to prevent sound transmission through both the air and the building's structure. Noise from a television travels through air, while the knocking of hot-water pipes travels through the structure. Controlling each type of sound transmission requires its own set of products and methods.
Sound travels directly through studs and drywall by vibrating the entire wall assembly — much like a speaker — so that sounds hitting one side of the wall are reproduced on the other. Adding mass, more air space, and vibration-dampening materials to a wall assembly makes it quieter.
As a first step, we framed the partitions as double walls. Rather than staggering the studs and using common 2x6 plates — which would transmit sound — we used two separate 2x4 walls, floor to ceiling. To further isolate the wall from the slab and the ceiling joists, I installed Integrity Gasket (Shadwell Co., 800/494-4148, integritygasket.com), a 1/8-inch-thick closed-cell self-adhesive PVC tape, under the sill plates and on top of the top plates.
Parallel 2x4 partition walls provide acoustic separation between rooms. To reduce sound transmission to the living space above, the author dropped separate 2x10 ceiling joists below the plane of the I-joist floor system.
Note the green PVC gaskets separating the joists from the plates. Before drywall, the crew sealed potential airborne sound paths with caulk and spray foam.
Then filled the cavities with mineral-wool insulation to further dampen air vibration.
Ceiling. Framed floors, with their open joist bays, can transmit sounds throughout a structure; I-joist floors can make matters worse because the lightweight members don't dampen sound as well as denser solid lumber joists.
The first floor of the house was framed with I-joists. Over the band room, I added separate 2x10 ceiling joists in the middle of every bay, notching them at the top plate to drop the ceiling plane below the bottom of the I-joists — which effectively isolated the band-room ceiling from the floor structure above. Again, I used gaskets between the joists and the top plates. The ceiling joists aren't fastened to the plates, but are held in place by gravity; flat 2x4 blocks nailed between the joists keep them from tipping and eliminate a mechanical connection between the band room's ceiling and the living room floor.
For good measure, I also ran gasket material along the top edge of the first-floor I-joists instead of using construction adhesive; this created a permanently pliable cushion that eliminates squeaks and dampens noise transmission through the floor sheathing to the joists.
Dealing with airborne sound. To reduce airborne sound transmission, I kept penetrations for electrical boxes to a minimum, and avoided back-to-back receptacles in the double walls. I also avoided placing ductwork in the ceiling, where it could transmit sound through the joist bays. I carefully caulked all the wire penetrations through the studs and plates, then filled the stud and joist bays with 4-inch-thick mineral wool (Thermafiber, 888/834-2371, thermafiber.com), which is denser than standard fiberglass batt insulation.
We first installed a layer of 1/2-inch drywall on the walls and ceiling of the band room, carefully taping and mudding every joint and making a special effort to seal every crack or penetration with compound or caulk. On top of the drywall, I installed a layer of Barricade mass-loaded vinyl (All Noise Control, 561/585-4703, allnoisecontrol.com).
This material is extremely dense: Even though it's only 1/8 inch thick, it weighs a pound per square foot. But it's also flexible — it comes in a 54-inch wide roll and can be pneumatically stapled in place. The combination of density and flexibility is ideal in a soundproofing material. The mass absorbs sound energy, while the flexibility dampens vibration in much the same way that a shock absorber dampens motion. Mass-loaded vinyl isn't cheap — I paid a little less than $2 per square foot — but it's very effective in an otherwise well-sealed acoustical wall assembly.
On top of the vinyl we installed standard resilient channel, then a finish layer of 5/8-inch drywall.
An effective way to reduce sound transmission around doors (and windows) is to seal gaps between the frames and the rough openings with either acoustic caulk or low-expansion polyurethane foam. The double walls allowed me to install a two-door entry into the band room.
A pair of 1 3/4-inch solid-core doors — air-sealed as carefully as exterior doors — create a sound-defeating air lock between the practice room and the rest of the basement.
I used solid-core 13/4-inch-thick door slabs for their extra mass and installed air-sealing thresholds, caulked to the floor, under both doors. I also sealed the gap between the jamb and framing with QuietSeal butyl acoustic caulk (Quiet Solution, 800/797-8159, quietsolution.com) and caulked the stops to the jambs and the casing to the drywall. Finally, I added self-adhesive compressible EPDM weatherstripping around the stops.
Framing and soundproofing the 11-foot-by-17-foot room cost nearly $15,000, but this was a small price to pay for the luxury of shutting the door and going to bed even when the band jams 'til dawn.

330ml bottle - the last of the '1/2 Meter of Beer' mix-pack from this brewery, and now finally something of the darker and heavier Belgian persuasion.
This beer pours a mostly clear, very dark cherry cola tinted brown colour, with a teeming tower (aaaah, refermentation in the bottle) of puffy, thinly frothy, and fairly fizzy beige head, which leaves some decent sudsy limestone arch lace around the glass as it quickly subsides.
It smells of semi-sweet black fruit - raisins, dates, prunes, and dried cherries - somewhat sugary bready caramel malt, black licorice, muddled savoury spice (maybe it's coriander, maybe it's not), and a bit of earthy, musty yeast. The taste is grainy, kind of doughy caramel malt, tight, but not quite tart dark fruit (generally the same cats from the nose), a stronger sweet and tangy anise character, more hard to delineate earthy spice - ok, I'll just say coriander, and leave it at that - and a dry earthiness that is more hop than yeast in provenance.
The carbonation is still quite frizzante all over my numerous palates after that initial outburst, the body medium-light in weight, especially for the style, and more or less smooth, neither yeast or alcohol caring to interfere here. It finishes just a tad off-dry, the caramel malt and candy-like licorice carrying the day against the countermeasures of the ethereal yeast and stealthy, encroaching booze.
Not a bad BSDA by any stretch of the imagination, but by the same token, a bit of a boy among men, when comparing it to the better-known abbey and laic versions readily available, like yer Gouden Carolus and even various Unibroue offerings. Nice to try, and duly warming after a spell, but I'm afraid my memory banks just don't have room for this one.

3.36/5 rDev -9.7%
Bottle: an incredibly solid tall brown 750mL bottle. A standard Belgian old-school label.
Appearance: pours a dark brown with highlights, limited visible carbonation. A tan head drops from two fingers to one fairly quickly, and settles to a rocky cream. Very little lacing.
Aroma: some sweet malts with spice, a touch of heavy fruits. Really not much to it though, which is a bit disappointing for a Belgian ale.
Taste: heavy fruits and spices with some caramel malts. Not the most brilliant Belgian Strong I have had to date, but still quite drinkable.
Aftertaste: the fruits are joined by a touch of star anise. Still lacks some complexity.
Mouth feel: a light- to-moderate body with mild carbonation. A bit lacking.
Overall: not the most impressive Belgian Strong Dark Ale I have had to date. Some heavy fruits and spice with caramels, but really nothing too impressive. Still fairly drinkable, but you can get something better for an equivalent price.

Pours a beautiful deep black color, covered with generous dark tanned head with solid retention.
There are some sweet fruits in the aroma, together with some interesting spices.
The taste is surprisingly weak and watery. Some spices along some roasty feel, no realy bitterness.
Too bad, promises much more than delivered.

Purchased through Beerboxx. Poured into a St. Bernardus goblet. A careful pour along the side of the glass resulted in an enormous fluffy head - ended up looking like a hot fudge sundae. Pale tan head settled slowly with nice lacing. Beer was murky dark brown.
Smells of caramel, yeast and alcohol faintly.
I was surprized when reading other reviews. This bottle tasted like Trappist Rochefort without any candy sugar - I tasted no coriander or orange. I wonder if this was a defective batch since my overall impression was of a beer with an obvious gap in the flavor profile.
Overall it's pleasant but I would only buy it again for verification purposes if I found it locally.

General: Received this with the rare beer of the month club. It's a wine bottle size with a cork and basket seal. The carbonation upon opening the bottle was good, a nice hiss when I opened it. I'm enjoying this beer out of my New Belgium tulip style glass.
Appearance: very dark brown, nearly black with some ruby hues to it. The head is an off white that dissipates fairly quickly but does leave some decent lacing.
Aroma: A nice maltiness with some hints of orange and the star anise. Not a big fan of the aromas of this but it's a unique beer that's for sure.
Mouthfeel: medium body with high carbonation. There is a nice drying effect with this.
Taste: There's a lot of flavors going on with this beer. Star anise and orange peel are the forefront of this but there is a good back up on this. Not a huge fan of this beer, it's just not my style.
Overall: As far as the style is concerned its very different than some of the other strong ales that i've had. It's a combination between a strong ale and a spiced ale. Just not my thing. I think that the rare beer of the month club needs to drop this one from it's rotation.

A deep brown pour with 2 fingers if head which quickly dissipated, smells if licorice/anise, coriander, definitely getting an orange peel scent, along with the sugary malty profile of a quad.
The taste is a bit odd. Citrusy from the irange peel, a weird medicinal flavor from the star anise, with a bit of a sweet yet dry candy flavor
Medium in body with high carbonation.
Not really enjoying this. It's my first beer from the rare beer club, and I'm honestly not impressed at all.

2 Savvy 4 U by Alli - about 7 years ago
"This is a photo of my boyfriend and his buddy wearing my design, on their way to British Columbia for a whitewater kayaking trip. They love the movie Tombstone and have quoted a line from it around me so much I decided to make them a t-shirt to immortalize the phrase "savvy?". I couldn't find a picture of Wyatt Earp on the website or I would have used that, but I used John Wayne, the eternal cowboy, instead and it seems to work just fine. I love Custom Ink and have told all my friends about it! You guys should hire me! Hope you like the shirt!"

What It Does:
Version 2 of the Hippotizer media server, which made its US debut this year at ETS-LDI at the TMB booth, marks a distinct improvement over its original incarnation. One of its biggest changes is in its control options; the new version now has built in support for the majority of established industry protocols — DMX, MIDI, RS 232, and timecode (model specific) — making it possible to control any playback parameter remotely from other hardware. Lighting desks, for example, can control the system to create digital lighting effects via DMX or Art-Net. Alternatively, users can now connect an external board to the system and get hands on control versus virtual control. Feedback from the Hippotizer is shared with the device's motorized controls, making it move accordingly.
Also new is the control area, which is displayed on a screen separate from the main output, providing users with full access to image adjustment controls. You can select from a bank of preloaded or your own media and apply it on up to 16 layers; a layer level preview provides feedback during the course of your composition and is switchable between sources. You also have layer level adjustment of all the key parameters: brightness, contrast, color, playback modes, in and out points, etc.
Other features of the workhorse stage model include eight configurable layers of 1024×768 resolution media, multi-level previews for each channel, 16-bit keystone adjustment, compatibility with a wide range of media types, the ability to playback audio from video files, and Hardware Accelerated Graphics technology, which allows for the rendering of effects in real-time.
In late November, Green Hippo announced the release of H-MAP, the Hippotizer Media Access Protocol, which is designed to allow lighting consoles access to information on Hippotizer servers via Ethernet. Now users can have thumbnail previews and corresponding DMX control values available on their lighting console. H-MAP is an open source standard made available to console manufacturers; the Chamsys MagicQ console is the first to implement this feature.
How it Came to Be:
Green Hippo was started by two UK veterans of the corporate event world who wanted to branch out, cut loose, and do something in the club market. About four years ago, James Ross Heron and Sean Westgate designed a VJ console that was customized for several UK clubs. "After the corporate industry, it was great to get our teeth into projects that had no corporate message," says Heron. "It was purely eye candy, and the product was geared to visual impact rather than corporate message. That was a great beginning point for us because it meant we could explore the parameters of effects without the restrictions of the message."
After repeated suggestions that they start building and selling units, Green Hippo unveiled version one of the Hippotizer; a touchscreen-controlled VJ console, it had no DMX control (or any other control for that matter), and was simply designed to be operated manually by a VJ. Last year, a sister company of DHA Ltd, Scene Change, approached Green Hippo about making the product more compatible with the digital lighting world. Scene Change serves as the worldwide distributor of the product line, while TMB distributes in North America.
"What we identified was there were lots of media servers but they all tended to lean to DMX control," Heron explains. "And we knew our core engine was controllable from many different protocols. So we sat down to figure out the different products we could make for the different markets, and the light came on and we said why don't we just make a general purpose media server? By that I mean a product that could provide media on demand, with real time effects, and all the functions that were available in previous versions, but not dictate to the user how to control it. Why not incorporate it all into one product and let the user decide how they want to control it?"
A version with the open protocol feature was first released at PLASA in 2003; additional tweaking led to the debut of full version 2 at PLASA in 2004. While the club market, as well as rental shops, had been quick to embrace the Hippotizer in its earlier incarnations, these later versions have also pulled in concert and theatre designers as well. "Rock and roll suddenly became interested because rock doesn't always use DMX for control of visuals," Heron says. "And theatre is probably our biggest market now; they're really latched onto the Hippotizer. In England alone, it's being used on the new musical Mary Poppins and the current tour of Starlight Express."
The development team for the Hippotizer includes Heron's partner Westgate, Josua Hoenger, Vadim Gorbatenko (based in Siberia), and Peter Kaufman (based in Switzerland).
What's Next:
Hippotizer is currently available in two versions: Express, an entry-level server, and Stage, the new version 2 standard. Heron says the company is currently working on a 3D feature, which will allow users to create their own 3D effects, an HD version, which will be capable of providing playback HD resolutions of up to 1080i (1920×1080). Both are tentatively scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2005.
What End Users Bob and Colleen Bonniol Say:
While we've spent a great deal of quality time with the venerable High End Systems Catalyst™ media server, we are always looking for the frontier of new product design. We'd been lucky enough to get a thorough private look at EX-1 several times during it's development, but for other media servers our experience had been limited to what we see on the floor at ETS-LDI.
This year's ETS-LDI gave us a better opportunity. We'd been invited by Colin Waters to design the media elements of this year's TMB booth. We'd have the opportunity to utilize a large array of G-LEC ClassicFrames, high-definition Plasma displays, and TMB ColourPix, Pro-V8, Pro-V4, and 2" Intelligent Clusters arrayed into non-traditional shapes. The capstone to this pyramid was using the new Hippotizer v.2 to provide all the media streaming.
As with all things at ETS-LDI, the design and programming process was hasty. We also had the responsibility of designing the G-LEC booth as well as programming our own booth for MODE Studios. The time crunch was magnified by hardware problems with the Flying Pig Systems WholeHog® III that was planned for control at the TMB booth. We were compelled to use Hog® PC with the USB control surfaces and DMX widget to run the Hippotizer. The interface was thus tough to access.
The ability for the Hippotizer to be programmed discreetly from the DMX console now shone. We were able to program all of our sequence presets within the interface of the Hippotizer. This was a huge time saver. The Hippotizer also had no problem in loading our own Media Modes stock collections for use in the programming.
With the Hippotizer's ability to solo individual effects and control parameters we could work quickly to solve any programming kinks that arose. The server's ability to adjust basic parameters like brightness and contrast (something that every server needs to be able to do for every layer) helped us to quickly dial in the right look for each of the disparate display devices. The interface was elegant and intuitive, and the end result was a complex piece of design and programming that came together quickly despite adverse circumstances.
Other features that set it apart for us: audio playback on any layer; up to eight SDI or Component video live inputs with no latency; and an interface that can be entirely programmed without lighting console or vice versa, or anywhere in between.
Hippotizer doesn't yet enjoy the massive media presence in North America that some of the other players in the field do, but its feature set is so powerful, and its price is so unbelievably low, that we predict widespread success for this one.

Those of you who went jewelry shopping this month may be acquainted with the four C's of diamond shopping: color, cut, clarity and carat.
But a new shop in Raleigh abandons the four C's in favor of a personality test.
Kahro is based on the research of Isaac Mostovicz, a luxury marketing expert.
Mostovicz says shoppers fall into two personality groups, lambda and theta.
A person with a lambda personality cares more about the journey rather than the destination and therefore - as far as diamonds are concerned - is more concerned with the story behind that piece of jewelry than how big or sparkly it is.
A theta personality is more interested in the destination and therefore is more focused on the physical attributes of the diamond.
When you go to Kahro, you have a one-on-one appointment and you're shown sets of pictures. For each set you choose between two options.
Pick George Clooney over Brad Pitt and you're a theta person. Pick Brad Pitt and you're a lambda.
After answering a series of such questions and talking with the interviewer, you will then talk about what kind of jewelry item you might buy.
The idea is to match you with the jewelry that will best match your personality and thus make you truly happy.
Kahro is open by appointment only at 4701 Creedmoor Road. 649-6528 or www.kahro .com .
In North Raleigh, the Red Hill General Store will open in Falls River Town Center off Durant Road on March 5. The store is just what it sounds like, a general store that sells a variety of items for lawn, household, farm, outdoors, kids and pets. The company started online in 1998 and opened its first retail store in Hillsville, Va., in 2009.
Owner Tom Largen said Raleigh was a natural choice for a second store because of its demographics, real estate market and the familiarity of people in Virginia with the Triangle. Red Hill places an emphasis on being a community gathering place, so Falls River was a perfect location, Largen said, pointing to the center's many independent businesses and farmer's market. Red Hill will take the space opposite Nantucket Grill.
In Cary, Leslie's Poolmart will open in a few months at 225 Crossroads Blvd. in Crossroads Plaza, selling swimming pool supplies. ... And the old Schlotzsky's Deli at 1021 N. Harrison Ave. will reopen as a Zaxby's in April.
Other items: The Ragazzi's Italian restaurant on Louisburg Road closed, leaving the Garner and Cary locations as the last two Ragazzi's in the Triangle. ... Also in Raleigh, The Parcel Place at 3528 Wade Ave. is closing. The last day for shipping is today, and the store will hold a sale of equipment and fixtures this weekend. ... And in Chapel Hill, Studio East 54 opens today in the East 54 shopping center at 2140 Environ Way. The studio offers Pilates, Zumba and other fitness programs.

So the temperatures up north are cooperating and that means the snow is piling up.
That means the cruisers are off the charts. It also means element after element will begin to appear in the terrain parks.
Sometimes, it can be just a load of fun. I think the antics at the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort in a Santa Suit were some of the best runs I have ever taken - except the photographer kept telling me to get more air and I kept telling him I could not see the landings because of the beard.
A couple of weeks later, this rowboat appeared upside down in the park. Two runs of staring at it were enough and I had to try it.
Trouble is, I did it on one ski and limped for a week.
What do the pros think? When it is time to just goof around, what is the best element?
Upper tier halfpipe rider Elijah Teter is always working on something, even out of competition.
"The most fun elements are jumps and quarterpipes. Guess I just love catching air and tweaking with spins - so fun," he said. "Quarterpipes are great for learning handplants as well and we all need better handplants in our line up of tricks."
Tricia Byrnes, who came in fourth in the pipe in the 2002 Olympics, says she sticks to her specialty.
"I love the pipe," she said. "I'm a wussie park rider, so tiny jumps and rollers."
Craig Baldwin, the lift operations supervisor at Lake Tahoe's Homewood Mountain, rarely shies away from terrain.
But the park?
"I like sneakily watching the skillful groms hitting the flat-down-flat box from treeland," he said.
Even extreme skier and snow sports media personality Dan Egan takes the same approach.
"My favorite thing to do in the park is to stand and watch in awe of what the young riders do going switch - and spinning on and off the rails," he said. "The sport has moved in whole new dimensions."
Having Dan say that makes the boat incident hurt even more. Maybe I'll just watch Elijah on TV from now on.

MissouriSouthern softball head coach Bill Gray has announced the signings of threeplayers for the 2014-15 season. The Lions will welcome Sydney Blue (Claremore,Okla.), Abi Corbett (Wentzville, Mo.) and Kali' Hodson (Anderson, Mo.).
"These threeyoung women give us depth in the outfield and on the mound. Along with that,will come speed on the bases and power at the plate strengthening the lineupand solidifying our defense," said Gray.
SydneyBlue, 5-2, Outfielder, Claremore, Okla. (Claremore-Sequoyah High School)
A four-yearletter winner in softball at Claremore-Sequoyah High School in Claremore,Oklahoma, Blue was a four-year starter in the outfield for the Eagles and headcoach Krystel Markwardt. As a senior this past fall, Sydney hit .386 from theplate collecting 30 hits while driving in 19 runs. She also had a perfect 1.000fielding percentage earning Will Rogers All-Conference honorable mentionhonors. A part of a winning tradition at CSHS, Blue helped lead the Eagles totheir fourth consecutive district championships as a senior. In addition towinning a district championship in all four of years as a prep, Blue led theEagles to a conference championship as a freshman and junior. As a freshman in2010, the Eagles won the regional championship and qualified for the statetournament.
Coach Graylikes Sydney's knowledge of the game, "Sydney may be a small packagebut she has great pop in her bat. She has played for a very good coach (KrystelMarkwardt) at the high school and travel ball level, she knows the game and howit should be played to be successful."
The daughterof Mike and Samantha Blue, Sydney is undecided on her major at Southern.
AbiCorbett, 5-3, Outfielder/ Infielder, Wentzville, Mo. (Wentzville High School)
A four-yearletterwinner in softball at Wentzville High School in Wentzville, Missouri,Corbett was a three-year starter for the Indians. Abi split her time on thediamond between outfield and second and third base. After earningall-conference honorable mention honors as an outfielder as a freshman andsophomore, she moved to the infield for her final two years whereshe earned second-team all-conference honors. In addition toher solid play on the field, she earned All-Academic honors allfour years of high school. Last summer, her club softball team finished fifthat the ASA USA Nationals. She also lettered two years in track and field whereshe ran on the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays earning all-conference third teamhonors in the 4x100 as a freshman.
Coach Graybelieves Abi will add great speed to the club, "Abi will add a greatamount of speed to the outfield and on the base paths. She comes with a greatamount of desire and intensity and will be a threat every time she gets onbase."
The daughterof Bret and Courtney Corbett, Abi is undecided on her major at Southern.
Kali'Hodson, 5-9, Pitcher/1st Baseman, Anderson, Mo. (McDonald County High School)
A four-yearletter winner in softball at McDonald County High School in Anderson, Missouri,Hodson was a two-year starter for the Lady Mustangs and head coach TreyShaddox. As a senior this past fall, Hodson and the Lady Mustangs compiled a23-3 record, winning both the Joplin and Branson Tournaments for the first timein school history. She led the Mustangs in RBI's with 33 and homeruns with sixand pitched in 23 of the 26 games during the season. For her outstandingseason, she earned first-team All-District and first-team All-Region honors asa pitcher and set school records in RBI's and home runs. She was also voted byher teammates as the best pitcher on the Mustangs. As a junior in 2012, sheearned first-team All-District honors as a pitcher. In addition to her play onthe softball diamond, Hodson also excelled in the classroom where she carries a3.3 GPA.
Coach Graylikes Hodson overall game and believes she will bring much to the team,"Kali' Hodson gets people out and frustrates the tar out of them while shedoes it. She keeps the ball down and has a great change up. She will be a goodcomplement to the pitchers currently on our staff. She also has power in herbat that will make us better."
The daughterof Tracy and Halee Hodson, Kali' is undecided on her major at Southern.

This pair of words has been stumping people forever, and no wonder— they have rather similar meanings, and one of them (principal) has three meanings.
The word principle is always a noun and it is always a thing (not a person). Principle means a standard, basic truth, law or rule. A principle can be theoretical (the osmosis principle) or moral (standing up for your principles).
The goal of global English is to be intelligible. Not to speak or write impeccable Standard English but to communicate our meaning successfully to people whose English is different from our own.
We got a great message from Google AdWords today. (How can that be? I hear you say.)
It was clear. It was simple. And it was all about being clear and simple. It applies to new policies that will be launched around September of this year.
The power of decluttering is mysterious and mighty. New bathroom to be installed? That means creating some empty space. A beautiful empty space of infinite possibilities. A void in which to consider what really matters. A place for creation.

How would Kraftwerk's robots sound if they grabbed the acoustic guitar? Touchy Mob presents an idea of this scenario.
Despite the band name, this is an austere solo project where the bearded Ludwig Plath with his acoustic guitar, a little electronics and angular time signatures create a personal sound that alternates between organic warmth and cold electronic dystopia.
With few means Touchy Mob creates his very own 'folk techno'. An odd musical variety, which still makes fully sense when experienced live.

Today marks the conclusion of our four part series on marriage. We hope it has been a blessing to you! If you missed any of the first three posts, you can read them here: For Wives: A Profound Paradox, For Wives: Praying Hearts, and For Husbands: Miracle Required
Adapted from No Ordinary Marriage: Together for God's Glory by Tim Savage
What does the biblical love of a husband look like in practice? Once again, the model is Jesus Christ. We can identify six salient features of the love of Christ. The first two may be framed in terms of prohibitions (what his love is not) and the last four in terms of affirmations (what it is).
Never Unfaithful
First of all, a husband's love is never unfaithful. The love of Christ for the church is extremely possessive (John 10:14), fiercely protective (John 10:28), intensely devoted (John 10:9), and radically sacrificial (John 10:11). Nothing could ever prompt the Lord to spread his affections among those who do not belong to him (John 10:10). And love like this evokes a response in kind: the people of God return an all-encompassing love.
The same pattern applies in marriage. When husbands demonstrate unwavering faithfulness to their wives, they prompt a response in kind. Husbands must guard this fidelity at all costs. A wife should know herself to be the sole recipient of her husband's romantic affection. As he vowed at the altar, a husband must forsake all others.
It is not ultimately biblical warnings against infidelity that sanctify our behavior as much as fresh encounters with the living Christ. Transformed daily by the faithfulness of our Lord, we are supernaturally empowered to exhibit the same faithfulness to our wives.
Never Divorce
Secondly, a loving husband will never divorce his wife. Although the Scriptures may provide an exception to this rule (see Matt.19:9), husbands ought to draw their inspiration from the exceptional love of Christ. It is a love that never parts with its object. There will never be sufficient reason for Christ to abandon his bride, the church which bears his name. We are secure in his eternal embrace. It ought to be the same for wives who are loved by their husbands in the same way as Christ loves the church. Marriages may be subjected to severe trials, but they need never break. At the altar a vow was etched in stone—"till death do us part."
In antiquity, people were accustomed to easy divorce, and it proved a comforting safeguard in the event of bad marriages. When Jesus uttered the famous prohibition against divorce, it sent a collective shudder down the spines of even his most pious listeners. "If such is the case of a man with his wife," demurred his disciples, "it is better not to marry" (Matt. 19:10)! Many today would express a similar reservation. But we must not succumb to a self-seeking outlook that has produced so much pain and dysfunction within marriage. Our compassionate Messiah's instruction, far from limiting our options and curtailing our happiness, is designed to promote freedom and fulfillment within marriage. It is for our good that he commands us not to divorce.
It is only when a husband follows the counsel of the Lord, when he forsakes all others and clings faithfully to his wife, and does so irrespective of inevitable marital disappointments, that he discovers a contentment beyond anything the present age has to offer—an abiding and overwhelming joy that only God can provide. Following the commands of the Lord never diminishes marital fulfillment. It always enhances it.
Always Attentive
We can fill out the portrait of a loving husband by adding four positive affirmations. First of all, a husband who models the love of Christ will notice his wife. Love pays attention. As time wears on and the initial sparks begin to wane, other things—the demands of work, the passion for sports, the challenge of parenting, the companionship of male friends—can steal away a husband's attention. The result is marital stagnation in which superficial and brief conversations and perfunctory kisses take the place of deeper interaction.
Many husbands fail to detect the deterioration, or they look primarily to their wives to stoke the marital flame. Sticking closely to their appointed routines, husbands busy themselves with their own projects. Wives, wishing to please their husbands, keep growing frustrations under wraps and then, unwittingly, begin to slide into a state of emotional indifference or despair. When the sterility of the relationship finally becomes unendurable, wives will erupt into—what seems to their husbands—a volcano of irrational negativity. At that point, the marriage is seriously imperiled.
But the point need never arrive. A vigilant husband consciously nurtures his first love. He views his wife as his most cherished earthly possession. He pays attention to her. And when he does, he makes a startling discovery. She becomes the great delight of his heart. Her personality, her gifts, and her interests—now carefully noted by the eyes of her partner—become to him a source of endless fascination. The words of Solomon stand like a capstone over his heart: he enjoys life with his wife whom he loves (Eccles. 9:9). Because she knows herself to be his greatest treasure, she is filled with joy and the sparks of the marriage rarely diminish.
Always Understanding
A loving husband will take pains to understand his wife. He will notice not only what she says and how she acts, but will also seek reasons underlying those words and behavior. He will probe beneath the surface for the person she is within. That, of course, is a defining feature of Christ's love. He was not content merely to notice from afar but climbed into a human body in order to deal with us on an intimate level. He was "made like his brothers in every respect" in order that he might "sympathize with our weaknesses" (Heb. 2:17; 4:15). In the same way, a husband ought to pursue insight into the thoughts and emotions of his wife. He ought to learn what shapes her dreams and prompts her fears.
Deep understanding will emerge only through creative verbal interaction. Love talks. It asks questions. Jesus constantly inquired of those he loved. "Why are you so afraid?" (Mark 4:40). "Why are you making a commotion and weeping?" (Mark 5:39). So, too, a loving husband will tenderly ask his wife to reveal her heart and, when necessary, help her to do so.
It will hardly be surprising that the greatest obstacle to an outbreak of God's glory within marriage is a breakdown of communication. When dialogue becomes mundane, one-sided, repetitive, tense, or ceases altogether, mutual understanding will be the casualty. A loving husband will guard against the demise of conversation. He will carve out times for sympathetic interaction and, if necessary, structure times into his daily routine. Uninterrupted communication every day helps to build marital cohesion. So, too, does a date night once a week or a quarterly weekend in the mountains or at the beach. Fixing times is the responsibility of a loving husband. Ongoing dialogue is the fruit of his love.
Always Sympathetic
Thirdly, a loving husband will seek to sympathize with his wife. Sympathy represents a natural progression from the first two positive brushstrokes of Christlike love.
For many husbands, sympathy is not a natural attribute. And, ironically, the more a husband thinks he understands his wife, often the less sympathy he expresses. Understanding can breed contempt. When the weaknesses of a wife are exposed, husbands can become judgmental, harsh, critical, or authoritarian. They can disrespect her opinions, belittle her ideas, demean her accomplishments, correct her use of words, and criticize her initiatives—either in subtle ways or sometimes even in front of others. How a husband treats his wife in public is a very telling measure of the authenticity of his love.
True love sympathizes. It rejoices to support another. Here the apostle Paul sets a high standard of instruction: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. . . . Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor. 13:4–5, 7). Although these words were addressed to all members of the church at Corinth, they could easily be understood as a call specifically to husbands. Love relishes the opportunity to defer to the concerns and the needs of a wife.
Always Sacrificial
Fourthly, a loving husband will sacrifice for his wife. If we were to scan the dictionary for the perfect synonym of biblical love, we could do no better than the pregnant word sacrifice. It certainly sums up the pattern inherent in Christ's love. He sacrificed himself on our behalf. This is the supreme calling of husbands. They love their wives "as Christ loved the church [when he] gave himself up for her" (Eph. 5:25).
Sacrifice entails more than a simple willingness to put one's life at risk for another. The love of a Christian husband ought to be characterized by an even greater degree of sacrifice—more than a life given in death, but a life given in life. A loving husband will lay down his own life by taking up his wife's. He will make her life his life. He will view her life as dearer to him than his own.
This kind of self-denying love is a mystery to most husbands. Few things are deemed worthy of the sacrifice of their lives—work perhaps, or ambitions, or wealth. But a wife?! Men still nurture the idea that wives are essentially there for them—to serve them, to please them, to love them—and not vice versa. How often do men forfeit a personal passion for the good of their wives? How many men will put their work on hold to fulfill a wife's dream? How often do husbands assure their wives in a tangible way that apart from God nothing in their lives is even remotely as important as they are? How many wives are confident that their husbands are willing to sacrifice everything for them? This is not the reality of most marriages. We live in a society where men are more likely to nurture their golf swings, or their reputations, than the hearts of their wives.
Rewards of Christlike Love
Biblical love transforms a wife. It is the most powerful shaping agent in the world. Love elevates a wife above everything common and defiled, cleanses her from the sullying influences of her past, and transforms her into a radiant person. It bathes her in the glory of God and removes—from the eyes of her husband and, consequently, from her own eyes too—any taint or blemish. What an exquisite creature is the woman loved by her husband! Men take note. The wife of your dreams—indeed a wife exceeding your dreams—awaits the demonstration in and through you of Christlike love.

By NBCLosAngeles.com
LOS ANGELES -- New details have emerged about the federal agent accused of shooting his supervisor on Thursday in Long Beach, Calif., during a conversation about job performance.
Ezequiel Garcia, an agent for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reached for his gun and shot his boss at least six times after discussing his performance with the agency's second-in-command, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said Saturday.
Another agent who attended the discussion and had just left the office rushed back and burst in to disarm Garcia after the shots rang out. They engaged in a serious struggle and the colleague who rushed in subsequently shot and killed Garcia, an official said.
Read more at NBCLosAngeles.com
"There was a very, very intense struggle," Kice said. "They were physically struggling over the gun."
The supervisor, Kevin Kozak, continued his recovery Saturday from bullet wounds to the hand, knee and torso, Kice said.
Kozak, 51, is the agency's deputy special agent in charge of investigations in the Los Angeles region.
Los Angeles police officers who work in the building on a joint task force for Internet crimes responded to a call for help and aided the bleeding Kozak, Kice said.
"The fact that they were literally right there probably was another thing that was instrumental in his survival," she said.
Officer's career, life under scrutiny
Garcia joined the former Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1988 and was named criminal investigator three years later.
Shortly after the Department of Homeland Security was created in 2003, he was promoted to supervisor for a documents and benefits fraud task force.
He had told his wife of problems at work but, when she called him at the office Thursday, everything seemed normal, according to the Los Angeles Times.
They talked about having Korean barbecue for dinner, but he said he first had to meet with a high-ranking supervisor about his performance.
She told the Times the couple were going through a divorce but trying to work things out.
Garcia was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department after he and another immigration agent claimed they were roughed up by officers while doing undercover work.
A federal jury found in the police officers' favor in 2005, saying they did not use excessive force.
The lawsuit alleges that officers handcuffed and threatened to shoot the other agent, and put Garcia in a headlock, handcuffed him and forced him into the back of a police car, despite his cries of agony because of an old shoulder injury.
Garcia was hospitalized for cuts, bruises and treatment of his shoulder.
"If this could happen to me, then ordinary citizens have even more reason to fear for their own safety," Garcia told the Los Angeles Times when the lawsuit was filed in 2000. "The situation within the LAPD is clearly out of control."
Shocked by his death
Doug Walters, an attorney who represented Garcia, said he was shocked by his death.
"During the time I worked with Zeke, his supervisors were very supportive of him and the case," Walters said. "Some of his supervisors traveled some distances to testify."
Kice said she didn't know what job performance issues Garcia was counseled about before the shooting, and couldn't disclose them if she did.
A federal official with knowledge of the investigation has told The Associated Press that Kozak denied Garcia's request for an internal transfer.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
ICE routinely reallocates resources in line with priorities, but does not disclose details for security reasons, Kice has said.

We booked a 3 person double queen room for 2 nites via a super saver with expedia. Which means you are guaranteed a 3 star hotel, but they do not reveal the name only the area, and no refunds. We decided to take the risk and what a mistake! The hotel was a Holiday Inn Express and beautifully decorated. The staff was reasonably pleasant, but seemed […] annoyed when I asked why we were only getting a King size bed and had to pay extra for a roll away. Entering the room it seemed pleasant enough until we heard the noise from upstairs!! None of the rooms have carpet so the wooded floors are very loud, and for some reason the door to the hallway is very thin and the noise from outside is extremely startling. Knowing we were locked in for 2 nites we decided to make the best of it. At least they have a heated pool. Wrong!! Cold, no towels, and where the Jacuzzi was supposed to be nothing but empty space. We went back up to our room to discover there was only one wash cloth and the bathroom had a peculiar smell...like dandruff?? eewwhh, we will never stay here again. We looked longingly out of our window at the Motel 8 thinking we would of been better off. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Fishers I am sorry to hear about your recent stay with us here at the Holiday Inn Express of Fishers.

We hope that in the future that you will try us again so that we can make it right.
"nice hotel"
over all very nice room/staff/ breakfast was decent and had good variety. If I had a negative comment it would be that the did not have a mini fridge..(I know most don't...so no biggy) but I wish more would. Over all very clean room/hotel and good staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Exceeded Expectations"
I was surprised by this hotel. I loved the fact that they had hard wood floors in the rooms. It made it feel much more clean than other hotels I have previously stayed at. The staff was very welcoming and made me feel valued. A must stay for next time!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel"
Had an excellent 1 night stay here. The rooms were some of the nicest I've seen. Loved that there was no carpet.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice, clean hotel. Great service, fair price."
Great hotel. My only complaint is a $20 charge that's showing up. I did not rent any premium channels or take any snacks or anything so I'm not sure what the charge is for and will have to get that resolved.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel close to Castleton/Keystone shopping"
Very pleasant stay overall. Was disappointed that the spa had been removed from the pool area.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Fishers I'm glad to hear you had a pleasant stay here with us! We are conveniently located right off I-69 and accessible to many attractions in the Indy area. I'm sorry that we no longer have a spa, but glad to hear you had such a positive experience with us. Please come see us again.
Very modern hotel with a decent breakfast. Everything was good with my stay the only thing I could complain about is the showers. They are very low on water pressure and no bathtub and there is a picture advertising a bathtub on the website. That fact would have been nice to know since I've got young kids and stayed a whole weekend who dislike taking […] showers. Didn't use the pool or workout facility.

Response by Holiday Inn Express Fishers I'm glad you enjoyed our modern and upscale Holiday Inn Express here in Fishers. I apologize for any misunderstanding of no bathtubs in our guest rooms. We do have bath tubs in our two room suites on property. Next time you are in the area we would love to put you into one.
I really liked the hotel, very well decorated with hardwood floors which leads to my only complaint .We were given a room on the bottom floor and you could hear what seemed like a stampede of people wearing cowboy boots/high heels walking on hardwood right above us, very loud and non stop . I would recommend if you are staying in this hotel you request […] a upper level room!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"last minute purchase"
great staff -- last minute purchase and even though the room we booked wasn't available we were able to get an upgraded room and we had to leave early for an efvent and they agreed to open the cold bar for breakfast early for us. awesome remodel and great staff!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Fishers Thank you for your kinds words! I'm glad we were able to upgrade you and you were able to see one of our nice spacious suites! We look forward to seeing you again!
"Very pleasant surprise"
We only stayed one night at this hotel, as it was a stop off on our road trip home. So we were very pleasantly surprised at the level comfort we experienced here - we loved the decor: the paint and color schemes were very interesting, without being off-putting or garrish. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of wallpaper and paint, as there were several that […] seemed textured. All in all, a very nice experience, and we will not hesitate to stay here again.

the room was very nice and comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was typical but very good. My wife loved the biscuits n gravy. We would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall very satisfied"
Staff very friendly. Hotel very modern and clean. Breakfast included many options. Rooms nice sized. 4 rating on Comfort category due to synthetic wood floors in the room not insulating the noise from above. We could hear people walking across the floor in the room above us. Decor felt very European to us. We would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel looked like it had just been remodeled. We loved the location just off the interstate, the room had a very modern feel with wood floors, the bed was quite comfortable as well. We really enjoyed our stay in Indianapolis!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Affordable and way better than most!"
Overall great experience! Plan on staying often!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great value"
The hotel is beautifully updated with hardwood floors. The bed was very comfortable. The gym was small, but served its purpose. The breakfast options could have been a little healthier, including whole grain options and more fresh fruit.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome place to stay with a family!"
It was a pleasant stay! Wish the pool was bigger and warmer though... I love the color schemes and cleanliness of the hotel!Genuine Expedia guest review

very clean, and the restrooms in the lobby were clean and very niceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great job!"
We brought our son with us, and he takes bottles. So instead of us having to run up and down stairs they brought a microwave to our room so we could use it. They were great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice looking but noisy"
The hotel decorating was very nicely done, however we were awoken several times during the night by noise. This is a very noisy hotel, which made it quite difficult to sleep.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Better off someplace else"
The hotel was cool looking, but what bothered me the most was the lady at the front desk. It seemed like she just wanted to argue. Horrible attitude and a word I chose not to use publicly. She was awful, and if you are reading this, please work on your customer service skills. Thanks.Genuine Expedia guest review
My room shower only had luke warm water, tried to fix it but it never worked properly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awful room and service"
This is the worst Holiday Inn Express I have ever stayed at. They had our reservation wrong and when we tried to correct it with them for the correct room type- they did nothing. To top it off we had no hot water- not fun with 3 small children! When I discussed my disappointment with the desk staff- they told me they were busy tending to the hockey […] teams that were staying there also! Stay across the street at the Hilton Garden Inn instead of here! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Ok hotel"
The bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. Showers didn't feel clean having tile floors. Grout was dirty.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location for my needs"
Overall it was great except for the TV. Could not get ABC, NBC, CBS or HBO, which are part of the package, without unplugging the cable from the back of the TV, waiting a few seconds, plugging it back in . . . every single time, and then I still couldn't get anything but CBS from the channels listed. Other channels like the cartoon network and ESPN […] were available but come on, not among my interests. Had to call front desk the first morning, and she was helpful, came to my room, showed me what to do, but the overall TV service was sub par. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good for a business overnight stay."
The hotel was very clean and the room was visually appealing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The heating unit was noisy and the walls are 'thin'. Overall, it was a nice stay.Genuine Expedia guest review

Pleasantly surprised. Would stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Destination"
It was great the hotel was very up to date. Very niceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Thanksgiving stay"
This was a brand new hotel. They had just moved into the Indigo Inn and the rooms were great.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beware of name change, and rennovation"
The hotel recently got renamed as a Holiday Inn Express. We weren't aware of this change and due to the sign being covered and arriving at night it was difficult to know that this was the location. The lobby was under rennovation due to the rebranding and that impacted breakfast and lounge. We would have liked to have known about this change. The room […] we were put into was very spacious and the decor was attractive. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"no bar or etc hotel under construction"
very loud and lots of mess everywhere no pool or bar or etc availableGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We really liked Hotel Indigo. It was very clean, modern the staff was very friendly .. The only thing is that we didn't get to enjoy the bar or restaurant because it was beginning redone. Which we wasn't told about when booking the room but would definitely stay again ...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Was a little disappointed. The room was very nice and clean, but there wasn't even a trash can in our room. We had to go ask for one. Also, the website says there is a bar in the hotel and even shows pictures. However, there is not a bar there. I think they need to update their website to fix this. One of the elevators was making some strange noises […] when we used it and it didn't feel right when it moved. The next morning it was out of order. I'm just glad it didn't break while we were in it. I would probably stay there again if I was going to be in the area, I was just a little disapointed with it.

"Stay of the indigo"
Everything was nice. Really clean a few things that did bring it down was don't really know how to say this with not just sounding really picky. The eluvator was very slow. Seem like it would take to long for it to get to you an when u got to your level it would take some time for the doors to open. The use of the bar was nice a very nice bar tender. […] The closing hrs. Of it an the kitchen seemed alittle early. Breakfast on paper plates didn't bother me any seeing that I use them all the time at home but I could see where to some that would bother.

"Nice and Fresh"
This hotel is very clean and decorated well. We really liked the variety of equipment available in the fitness room and the size of it. The pool and hot tub were appreciated by our children.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just so-so"
The hotel is advertised as a boutique hotel. It really is more of a re-done standard hotel (think Holiday Inn Express) with some funky colors and Ikea type furnishings. We arrived in our room with the "hardwood" floors and found dirty footprints all over the room. When we asked to have it remedied they moved us quickly to another room. Breakfast was […] included with our package but I wouldn't recommend you purchase that. The food was the microwaveable sausage and eggs and stale breads and pastries. Not a bad experience, just not what I would have expected based on he pictures, other ratings, and write-ups. We ended up moving to a different hotel downtown for the last two nights of our three night visit to Indianapolis. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

We were thrilled with the decor, quite nice. Front desk staff was very warm & friendly. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was mediocre. Pool area could use some housekeeping attention. Overall, it was a nice hotel & we would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very disappointing!"
Our "spa like" bathroom was not what we expected. The shower was an adjustable height type that would not stay up, so anyone over 3 feet tall would have a very hard time showering. The bathroom fan also did not work and the A/C unit tried in vain to keep the room comfy for long. The decor was nice and we loved the hardwood floors but it wasn't pretty […] enough to make up for the dysfunctional bathroom. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The Neurology Clerkship is a four-week rotation that should provide a setting for 4th year medical students to learn Clinical Neurology. In unique situations, third year students may do Neurology with permission from the clerkship director. The clerkship should be utilized as a continuum to the Neural and Behavioral science block that you had in the second year.
You may find it beneficial to review your notes from the second year course. For students that are interested in Neurology as a possible career or if you just want to learn more Neurology, it is strongly recommended that the student do an Acting Internship (AI) rotation.
