Good, Bad and Ugly: LifeLock.com 400
Mark Garrow provides driver trends for Saturday's LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
* A driver needs to qualify for the race based on time.
# A driver is eligible for the champion's provisional.
• Allmendinger must qualify on time. He is top-25 material at best.
• Biffle finished 11th the past three years at Chicago. • He is running the same car he drove to a runner-up finish at the Coke 600. • I expect Biffle to make a little bit of a comeback after a rocky road the past five weeks. I see the Roush cars all being pretty strong and Biffle finishing in the top 10.
• Blaney is driving the same car he drove to ninth-place finishes at both Dover and Darlington. • Blaney has scored three top-17 finishes at Chicago and has only qualified outside the top 15 twice. • Just when things were looking up for Blaney, he slid back into the pack with junk finishes in the past six races. He could be of possible interest this weekend, but qualifying and practice need to get done before you decide on what to think of Blaney. I'm getting a bad vibe on this team right now.
• In two Sprint Cup starts here, Bowyer has a pair of top-10 finishes. • I've got Bowyer ranked 16th this week because of recent inconsistency. But I do expect him to make a little noise this weekend. I can picture him finishing from ninth to 16th.
? This is the same car Burton raced to a 15th-place finish at Michigan. • In seven starts at Chicago, Burton boasts one top-5 and three top-10s. • Going in I've ranked Burton eighth. He hasn't done much the past four races, but has been pretty racy the past two times at Chicago. I see this has a good turnaround track for Burton and a top-10 is probably in the offing.
• The car debuted at Darlington in May, where it finished 12th and came home eighth at Pocono. • Kurt finished sixth here last year and has been making a little noise lately. His Roger Penske team may have turned the corner. I've ranked him 13th because I'm not a true believer yet. That said, I can see Busch finishing as high as sixth and as low as 13th.
• Kyle is the series lap leader with a total of 900 laps led. That is 16.59 percent of the 5,425 laps raced this season. • I see this track right in Kyle's wheelhouse and why I rank him second. He can win or finish in the top five. The past two 1.5-mile speedway races, Busch has finished third and he should come up big again.
• Carpentier will be driving a new car and making his first appearance at Chicagoland. If he makes the race, I see maybe a top-30 and that's about it.
• In seven Sprint Cup Series starts here, Earnhardt has recorded one win, two top-5s and three top-10s. • This is the same chassis Earnhardt drove to the win at Michigan last month. • I don't see Junior setting the world on fire, but I do see a solid top-10 performance and I rank him ninth. He might finish as high as the fifth-place run he had at Charlotte.
• In his previous three Chicagoland starts, Edwards has one top-5. • Edwards leads all drivers in top-10s, having scored 13. Edwards has top-10s in 11 of the past 13 races. • He's in the same car he drove to a runner-up finish at Darlington this year and won with at Fontana. • I think Edwards has a great chance to win have him ranked as my top guy going into Saturday night's race.
• Elliott has two top-10s in five starts here with an average finish of 18.2. • Finished this race in 28th-place last season.
• Gilliland has an average finish of 16.0 at Chicago • At a Stock Car Challenge price of 17.0, Gilliland might be interesting this week if he can match his 16th place finish of a year ago. We'll be keeping a close eye on him especially for our race day chat Saturday afternoon.
• Gordon has one win, four top-5s and five top-10s in seven Chicago starts. His average finish is 10.0 and he finished ninth here last year. • I can see Gordon finishing in the top 10 this week, but this team has been so hit or miss on tracks like this I've got him ranked 15th. Obviously, any time he takes the green the potential is there for a win, a top-5 or a top-10, but his inconsistency concerns me. I'll be looking hard at practice and qualifying because of the always present potential.
• Gordon has seven starts here with two top-10s and an average finish of 22.4 He finished 36th last year.
• This will be Hamlin's third start here, finishing 17th and 14th here in the past. • Hamlin drove this car to a third-place finish at Pocono in June and a seventh-place finish at Darlington. • Hamlin is my fifth-ranked driver this week, which means I'm pretty confident he has a chance to win at least. His inconsistency since the third-place finish at Pocono last month concerns me, but I can see the same type of performance this weekend he had at Texas earlier this year.
• In seven Chicago races, Harvick has earned four top-5s and five top-10s, including victories in the first two races. He has averaged an eighth-place finish. • Harvick has great stats at this place, but hasn't had a top-10 finish in the past eight starts this year and why I have him ranked 14th instead of in my top-10. For whatever reason, when this team gets into a slump it's very hard for them to get out of it. I'll wait for that to happen unless he looks super-fast in the final practice.
• This will be first Cup start at Chicagoland, but he has a total of seven IndyCar Series starts. From 2001 through 2007, Hornish scored two wins, two poles, six top-5s and seven top-10s.
• Clearly Hornish has a comfort level here because of all his Indy starts but 29th is his best finish in the past three 2008 starts, so I don't expect much.
• Johnson has six Chicago races, finishing in the top-six at each event until last season when a flat tire relegated him to a 37th-place result. • He finished sixth in this car at Michigan. • I've ranked Johnson sixth this week, with potential for a top-5 and probably a lock for a top-10.
• Kahne has an average finish of 33rd at Chicagoland, never finishing better than 23rd. • Five of Kahne's nine career wins have come on intermediate-style tracks. • This week I believe we can throw out Kahne's past Chicagoland performances and put them in the trash can. I predict a best finish ever at the track with Kahne winding up somewhere in the top 10. I think his performance at Charlotte will translate well here.
• In seven starts, Kenseth has posted two top-5s and three top-10s. He has only finished outside of the top 15 once. • Kenseth's car was raced at California, Texas and Charlotte this year and has not finished outside of the top 10.
• Kvapil has an average finish of 40.0 at Chicago • He's driving the same chassis the team ran at Dover and finished 11th. • Kvapil might be able to sneak a top-20, or top-15 finish, but at 18.9 in SCC, he is still overvalued. With Mark Martin .7 below him how do you pick Kvapil?
• In seven starts here, Labonte has an average finish of 22.3 and finished 20th last year. • Labonte has been a top-15 car the past two races and could possibly do that again at Chicagoland. At 17.9 Labonte has a pretty attractive SCC price especially if he can match 11th place finish at Charlotte.
• Labonte has six starts here with a top-10 and an average finish of 24.0, finishing 43rd in his last appearance in 2006.
• Martin finished sixth in the inaugural race at Chicagoland in 2001 and 14th there last season. His average finish is 13.6 and he's led four of seven Chicagoland races. • I've got Martin ranked 11th and feel he's almost a lock for a top-10 at a still nice SCC price of 18.2.
• McDowell is making his first-ever NASCAR start at Chicago this weekend. He has an average finish this year of 30.8.
• In five starts at Chicagoland, McMurray has produced one top-10 with an average finish of 24.0. • He's in the same car he drove to a 23rd-place finish at Charlotte. • I think he's got a shot at a top-15 and have him ranked 18th going in. The Roush cars will be fairly competitive this weekend.
• In five starts at Chicagoland, Mears has earned one top-5 and two top-10s. • Mears led five laps last year before finishing fifth -- his career-best result at the track. Mears was the highest HMS finisher that day. • I can see Mears being a driver who will arouse a lot of curiosity this weekend. He had a strong run last year, but was still rolling after winning his first career Cup race at Charlotte. His confidence level is not nearly the same this year.
• This car was last raced at Michigan, where Menard turned in a season best 11th-place finish. • He's coming off a 15th-place run at Daytona but finished 42nd here last year. With 16.5 SCC value we'll have to keep a close eye on him during our garage "walk", but I think a top-25 is where you pencil him in and then hope for better.
• Montoya will be making his second start at Chicagoland. He finished 15th in last year's race. • With a SCC value of 17.7, he's very attractive if you thought he could match last year's result. I don't think he can.
• In seven starts here, Nemechek has one top-10 with an average finish of 25.1.
• Ryan Newman has one win, two top-5s and three top-10s in six Chicago starts. • Newman will be in a new car this week so that's a little bit of a question mark. I can see him finishing somewhere in the middle of his fourth place run at Texas and 21st at Charlotte, which is why I've got him ranked 12th. He should be solid, but not spectacular.
• He finished 25th in 2007 in his first Cup start at Chicagoland. • Another guy in a new car for this race. His SCC value of 19.5 is a little high, but this track should be good for maybe a top-15 and potential top-10 for him. I have him ranked 17th, which is a little conservative. I like the fact he finished fifth at Darlington, another big, fast track where you have to be careful making your passes.
• Reutimann has one start here, finishing 43rd here last year. • I think Reutimann and this team have stepped up and have become a group that is a top-20 car. If he can run in the top 20 with a SCC value at 15.3 he could be very beneficial this weekend. You can be sure we are going to try and stay on top of his progress this weekend.
• Riggs has three starts here with an average finish of 22.3
• In seven starts he has recorded one top-10. • His 16.3 SCC value and eighth-place finish at Charlotte is going to give Mr. Sadler some attention this week. He is still all over the place and has not found the fix to a steady flow of top-15, top-10 finishes. With bargain value, we'll focus on him for race-day chat.
• He has two starts here with finishes of 35th and 22nd.
• Smith is making his first-ever Cup Series start here this weekend. He has three Nationwide Series starts with an average finish of 31.3. • A top-25 is about the best you can hope for here.
• Sorenson will be making his third start at Chicagoland this weekend. In 2006, Sorenson scored his best finish of seventh place there. He finished 12th last year. • Sorenson will be making his second start with this car. Sorenson previously drove it at Charlotte and Montoya drove it to a 15th-place finish at Bristol. • Sorenson could turn out to be a great budget pick this year with a SCC value of 14.7. Only two top-10s for the year is a concern, but he likes this track a lot and we'll keep an eye for him in the final practice and in the garage race-day afternoon.
• Stewart has seven starts here with five top-5s and two wins with an average finish of 11.0. He is the defending winner of this race. • I rank Stewart fourth and with price of 21.7, his potential for a top-5 makes him attractive. Weird stuff keeps happening to this team and I think this week they might be able to shake some of the bad luck. Problem is, I thought that last week too.
• Truex has two starts here with an average finish of 27.5 • This is same car he drove to a 17th-place finish in Michigan. • Truex is truly ticked off his team lost him 150 points for rules violations at Daytona and he appears to want out of his deal at DEI. The team is off balance right now with only two top-10s in the past eight races. Combine that with a SCC value of 19.8 and I'm staying clear. This team has the potential for a top-10 just about every time out, I just don't see it this weekend.
• In three starts here, Vickers has an average finish of 10.3. • He hasn't been great lately, but is basically a top-15 car week in, week out now. Combine past efforts here and how much this team has improved this year and I could see a top-10 here this weekend.
• He has an average finish is 25th.
• Yeley has two starts here with finishes of 10th and 35th, respectively. • Has completed 95.5 percent of the total possible laps here.

blueberries dry up
billy_o(5)May 17, 2013
A few of my blueberries have dried up, turned purplish and fall off. Had same problem last year. Does anyone know what this is? I'll try to get picture. Is this normal maybe if there are too many on the tree?
Thanks, I have several varieties. The ones falling off are pretty old (10 - 15 years maybe) and don't know the type, only charesterics. The younger ones are Elizabeth, ka- bluey,Berkeley, Elliot, blue crop, reka, and northland. Only characteristic I can think of the ones falling off is its a high bush and it doesn't make many new shoots but tasty fruit.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Ashley Greene in Rag & Bone Green Jeans
Ashley Greene was certainly in the St. Patrick's day spirit! She wore pair of bright Kelly Green jeans by Rag & Bone, black boots and a black sweater. Ashley was seen spending some time in New York City with her dad. Later in the day, Ashley was seen out with Kings of Leon singer, Jared Followill after the news that she and boyfriend, Joe Jonas, split up.
What do you think of Ashley's jeans? Colored jeans seem to be everywhere and green is definitely a more risky way to wear the trend. If you want to try a pair of green jeans, you can pre-order this jade Rag & Bone pair from Intermix.

Celebs at the Rag & Bone Party
Jonathan posted about Rag & Bone's party at Intermix and it looks like the party was quite a success! It was attended by celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Garcelle Beauvais, Malin Ackerman, and Anna Kendrick. Many who wore Rag and Bone's brightly colored denim pants. Molly Simms wore the pale pink pair that Cameron Diaz wore a few weeks ago. I love all of these photos! Colored denim is one of my favorite trends for Spring/Summer, so I love seeing how everyone is wearing them. Malin was also wearing a Hayden-Harnett Welles Drawstring Bag.
Bloomingdales Denim Sale!
Now through March 20th, Bloomingdales is having a denim sale. The sale includes most regular priced denim brands on a sliding price scale, 15% off when you purchase 1 pair and 25% off when you buy 2 or more pairs. For men, 20% off a purchase of $200-499.99 and 30% off a purchase of $500 or more. You can also check out the Denim Seeker fit guide, which has information on jean brands, styles and fit. You can shop at Bloomingdales.com.
Khloe Kardashian in Current/Elliott Denim Jacket
Khloe Kardashian recently arrived in Miami with her brother Rob. The two were in town to visit the Kardashian's Dash store. While her sisters have been busy with their reality show, Kim and Kourtney take New York, Khloe has being keeping busy. She and husband Lamar have been promoting their unisex fragrance, Unbreakable, as well as their new reality show, which follows the couple. Will you watch?
Khloe looked dressed for the warmer weather. She wore a long blue maxi dress, which she paired with a denim jacket by Current/Elliott. Khloe wore a similar outfit this past summer. Celebs really love their denim jackets! You can buy Current/Elliott at Singer22.com.

As I've started to brew more I've run into issues trying to keep costs low. I've gotten most of my supplies from either my LHBS or northernbrewer.com so far. Part of the problem is that I probably need to plan ahead, buy bulk, and brew more recipes that share ingredients. The other part is that I'm not sure whether I'm getting best price or not for equipment, ingredients, etc.
So, I have a couple of questions:
1) What quantities of ingredients do you buy and where do you buy them from?
2) Do you have a few standard recipes that you brew and get ingredients for, or do you sift through recipes looking for interesting beers to brew and then look for their ingredients?
3) Are there any good homebrew supplies price comparison sites out there? Kind of pricegrabber.com or bizrate.com, but for homebrewers?
Bulk purchases can help, looking at Midwest a base 2-row is $1.30/pound individually or $0.96/pound by a 50lb sack. the question is how fast can you go through it to keep fresh? Personally I buy what's needed at the moment and perhaps round up the next size bulk if it seems worthwhile at the time.
Ingredients are determined by the beer. I say don't let what you have in stock limit what you want to make. Base ingredients are fine to keep around in stock but all the various special grains are used in such small amounts that it really wouldn't make sense for a lot of people to keep supplies of each.
Can't help you on the site really, but one thing that occurred to me is this. If I recall here you're listed as being in CA, how about growing a few hop plants out on the porch/deck/somewhere? Pound per pound it's the most expensive part of a beer and a few staple varieties could cut the costs down a fair bit over time.
Are you brewing AG or doing partial?
If you're not already in one, i would suggest finding a local homebrew club and ask when they're doing a bulk grain buy. As someone above posted, you'll have to think about how quickly you're going to use the grain and how you're going to properly store it but that's about the cheapest way to get a majority of your ingredients.
Our club is putting in a 30+sack purchase today or tomorrow and we're getting 50 pound sacks anywhere from $35-$41 per sack depending on the malt. You can also get hops by the pound much cheaper.
BrewStooge: I've been rounding up to the next bulk size as well, but I end up with enough crushed malt leftovers (I've bought crushed only so far -- should I crush my own?) that they're probably not fresh by the time I use them again. I've considered growing hops, but I don't have the space (I live in an apartment with 2 roommates, and our south side has more apartments right in front of it) and I'll be moving in 6 months anyway.
BrewRI: I've been doing partial, but I'm about to move to AG.
Cape Brewing: I've read about this happening. That sounds like a good idea.
Right now, I'm working through my first bulk grain order. I bought bulk 2-Row, bulk Caramel 10L, and smaller quantities of a few other grains I knew I would be needing. What I'm trying to do is nail down a House Pale Ale recipe. I will keep this beer available at all times, because it's easy to brew, and most of my friends (even the BMCers) like this style. I'm also going to be brewing a massive amount of this for my friends' wedding next August.
The point I'm getting at is that I bought A LOT of 2 Row and Caramel 10L, because those are two consistent grains used in pale ales, and I'm varying the ratios of those two grains with smaller amounts of Cara-pils and Vienna malt, with different ratios of Cascade/Centennial hops (also purchased in bulk from HopsDirect.com).
Each one of my brews so far has been SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the ones before it because I planned out my grain bills and hops additions as such.
For those of you that buy in bulk
1) How do you store the grains
2) How long do they last
3) What are some estimated amounts of money saved on batches from going bulk?
For those of you that buy in bulk
1) How do you store the grainsI keep them in the bag they came in, but put a lot of effort in to making sure I get as much of the air out as possible, then seal it real tight with duct tape. I'm not saying this is a good method, but I have no other means to do it. I want to go up to Home Depot and get a bunch of those HOMER buckets soon.
2) How long do they lastI don't know, but I'm trying to make my way through my first order in a few weeks. Because I ordered them crushed, they do not have quite the same shelflife as they would had I ordered them uncrushed.
3) What are some estimated amounts of money saved on batches from going bulk?Well, let's try some calculations. I order from Brewmaster's Warehouse, and they don't have a bulk rate, just by the pound. However, you have to pay shipping on each order. So let's say you need 7 lbs of 2 row for a particular recipe, 8 lbs for another recipe, and 10 for the third recipe. If you ordered them separately, at $1.15 a pound and $6.99 flat rate shipping, you'd pay $49.72 as opposed to $35.74 if you order them all together, which is about $14 savings over three recipes on grain alone. This gets compounded the more you plan ahead. Also, if you order hops bulk, you'll see even greater savings. For example, at a particular Online HBS, Cascade pellet hops go for $2.99 an ounce ($47.84 per pound). At HopsDirect.com (bulk hops), you can get them for $8.75 a pound, or $0.55 an ounce, which is a MASSIVE savings. Again, multiply that over a few pounds, and you can definitely see the advantage.
FURTHERMORE, if you start reusing and harvesting yeast, you'll save A LOT that way. I've heard from people on here that the cost of a 5 gallon, low-gravity, brew is less than $10.00, which is substantial considering most new brewers are paying $30.00-$40.00+ on theirs. They do this buy buying grain in bulk, buying hops in bulk, and reusing/harvesting yeast.
The sacks come with a heavy plastic "liner" to the sack itself and to be honest, I simply spin the liner and tie it with a small peice of rope to make sure it is sealed up really well. Most people use big air-tight plastic containers etc. Personally... I'm not 100% sold on it being totally worth the cost of going big plastic containters .
Grain stored like that, as long as it stays dry and air-tight, should last quite a while. I'm not sure I would go super long (a year) but I use grains for a couple of months. (I order uncrushed)
I don't know about per batch but I just ordered two sacks of two-row for $36 a peice and then $4 each shipping on the pallet. So $40 for 50 pounds delivered.
If there is a local craft brew or brewpub close to you it is adviseable to contact them and "piggy back" on their order if they will let you. Homebrew clubs also do bulk orders. It also depends where you get it from, recently the homebrew club here got pale malt from Colorado Malting Co. for $40/50lb sack because we ordered 500lbs. If we get to 1000 lbs the price drops to $32.50/sack, no shipping since they make the rounds through here monthly now. One of the brewpubs is getting their malt there now and saving a ton of money on it over the north country malting group which is 2 - 3 cents more per pound before shipping and palleting charges.
I purchase all my malt whole and store the sacks in airtight 55 gallon drums that had cherries in them initialy. The kind with the big lid and sealing ring around them. The malt should be good for a couple years I believe?

The ailing rust bucket excelsior comes to mind for a tactical captain who likes cruisers. It has an inherant faster turn rate which is favoured as well with the extra tactical slot and ability. If you want to stay with your dreadnaught tree do try the assualt crusier as it is more noticably faster to maneuver and has three slots instead of the dreadnaughts two.
Since I dont have any information on goals and prefered playstyle Ill stop at the rudimentary must see space builds as what will be posted here.
Ship wise? Its all about what you want to perform in your game and have your ship do. If you like a support ship that can soak hits concurrently use a star cruiser. The dreadnaught is good with the right weapon skill tree and consoles although Ill stop there in recomendations for the above stated reasons.

Thread: An exhausted, listless list
June 22nd, 2013 10:31 PM #6
I would stay away from anything too distinctly Bible as Henry and Mollie don't feel that way at all. I think Oscar, Linus, Clark, Vince (better Vincent nn Vince) all could work. I was going to suggest Samuel nn Sam, but I really like the idea of Silas so that Gideon wouldn't stick out. Otherwise my vote would go to Clark. I think that's the best fit.Cora~Esme~Gwyneth~Hazel~Margot~Matilda~Penelope~Sy lvie~Thea~Zara

June 22nd, 2013 10:46 PM #8
Thanks for the input!
@mamabear87 - I do like Silas but it doesn't work any better than Linus with our last name which sounds like "Oh tiss" and is very friendly with Milo
@tfzolghadr - I know Vince is a nickname, but not in a way that I would hesitate to put it on a resume or campaign ad. Does anyone know any long forms of Vince other than Vincent?
@bayles- Thanks for the list, this is exactly what I was hoping for.
Evander - a possibility especially since I could conceivably derive Vince as a nn.
August - won't work because I had a beloved dog with the name who went by "gus".
Cyrus- just won't work with my ln.
Fitz-I am accepting of this name, but my husband thought I was joking when I brought it up.
Dashiell- Such a cute name, but just not us.
Porter- taken by an adorable nephew.
Sayer- I prefer it to Sawyer, but my husband doesn't like either.
Myles- My inlaws' surname
Avan - how is this pronounced?
Edison- I know its not the same name, but I have an uncle Ed that is far from honorable.
Thank you so much!Mom to Henry, Mollie, Gideon, and expecting Clark Ebenezer in November.

Wednesday Wars
From Library Staff
Holling Hoodhood (forgive the name) spends Wednesday afternoons with a teacher reading Shakespeare and it doesn't turn out to be that bad. Also available to download.
During the 1967 school year, on Wednesday afternoons when all his classmates go to either Catechism or Hebrew school, seventh-grader Holling Hoodhood stays in Mrs. Baker's classroom where they read the plays of William Shakespeare and Holling learns much of value about the world he lives in.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
What a fun "read"! Over the course of a school year, Holling discovers many lessons about life: Adults are all too fallible, our childhood heroes are not always truly admirable, and a person really can find the truth about the human condition in the works of Shakespeare.

Alright, so I kegged my first beer. 5 gal in a ball lock corny keg. Carbonated it perfectly, bled the keg and then set my pressure to roughly 11 psi. Yet my beer still comes out ALL foam. What am I doing wrong? Crappy regulator? Too high? Low? Or is this karma for shaving my brewer's beard?
It's possible you have a bum regulator. Happened to me when I first started kegging. However, post up how you carbonated.
I used these calculators online and my kegging has been smooth sailing.http://www.iancrockett.com/brewing/i...gbalance.shtmlhttp://www.iancrockett.com/brewing/info/forcecarb.shtml
Well, as per my LHBS said, I force carbed at 40 psi for 18-24 hours. My beer was already cold. I didn't mean to say that I did it perfectly, but the beer tastes nicely carbed once you get through the foam.
Did you bleed the pressure out of your keg when you dialed your regulator back down to 11? If not, your keg is still pressurized to around 40psi, contributing to your foaming issues.
Yep, bled it and let it sit for about ten before trying to pull.
you either over carbed, or your lines are too short. what's your system like? (line length, kegerator or keezer, etc), and what are your temperatures?
how long is your beer line?
Primary- AHS our special holiday ale mini mash
Secondary- Northern brewer oatmeal stout mini mash
On tap- Redhook Esb clone
Bottled-Shining star pale ale
It's a converted GE refrigerator. Temp is consistently around 40. My beer lines are 6 feet long.

Want To Make Rainy Days Less Gloomy? Star Wars Light Saber Umbrellasby Laurie Kay Olson

Want This New Concept? Inglorious Vegetables and Fruitby Laurie Kay Olson
Anyone who takes the time to grow their own vegetables knows that they don't always come out as pretty and perfectly shaped as you find them in the grocery stores. The twisted, the disfigured, and the grotesque are weeded out before they go to market. While some are used in juices, the truth is that they often go to waste. In Europe famers discard 300 million tonnes of these fruits and vegetables a year -- until now.

Tranquil , peaceful setting.Posted Aug 23, 2014 on Hotels.com
Really enjoyed my stay for 3 nights, we were here in august so sorrento was really busy, town was 20 minute walk which was fine for us . Santa Agnello has a number of nice restaurants and hotels, even the local cafe on the corner sold great food, particular favourite was la marinetta cafe by day and very nice Resturant by night not cheap but excellent food, requiring the use of a private elevator, we watched the sun go down in the evening and then went down in the lift, back to the hotel, everything was great, there were 9 rooms we had an attic room for 3 of us which was very spacious and served us well, the hostess could not have been friendlier and lived on the grounds , it really was a sanctuary away from the bustle of sorrento can't recommend it enough, next holidays will be in villas not hotels.

Everything we hoped forPosted Aug 4, 2014
Location: 20 minutes walk to Sorrento, but great restaurant nearby Marinella. Train about 10 minutes. Buses less reliable
We had 2 lovely weeks in this beautiful, tranquil hotel. The gardens, pool, breakfasts and the villa were delightful. Angela the owner is really helpful and really adds to what was a great experience.

Very well looked afterPosted Nov 3, 2013 on Hotels.com
A beautiful hotel with lovely gardens. Very well looked after by our host and her staff. We had the upstairs room with a balcony that you could see the sea from. Very clean room. Bed was a bit firm but this seemed to be quite common during our trip to Italy. Also, some noise from next door room with adjoining bathrooms. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and great coffee. The car parking on the local streets wasn't too much of a problem for us and the host kindly let us use the hotel driveway overnight on our first and last nights to make things easier. The pool was lovely but a bit too chilly for October!

Location: Sorrento - shopping and eating out Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis - easily reached by train Vesuvius - dominates the landscape, a visit is a must
As we stepped through the gate into the gardens of Relais Villa Savarese, it was like stepping into a different world, into an oasis of calm where day to day cares can be left far behind. The villa is beautiful and well maintained, and the hospitality is simply superb: warm and friendly with a personal touch, yet unobtrusive. All our needs were taken care of and nothing was too much trouble. For the four days we were there, we were thoroughly spoiled. It was our 20th wedding anniversary, so Angela upgraded our room and provided a complementary bottle of fizz on arrival. Every morning we were greeted by a mouth-watering breakfast buffet, with a different selection of cereals, fresh bread and pastries, cakes, cheese, eggs, cold meats, fruit, yoghurt, and a delicious freshly cooked flan or frittata. This set us up for the day so we didn't need to eat lunch! We were late in the season so several places were shut, but we still found good places to eat in the evening. Just a few minutes walk away is a terrace with stunning views over Sorrento, Vesuvius and the bay of Naples. This was a perfect spot to sit and watch the sunset. The villa is located a 15-20 minute walk from Sorrento, and very close to the public transport network, so getting to Herculaneum, Pompeii and Vesuvius was very straightforward. This was the perfect spot for exploring this lovely part of the world, and we haven't encountered a warmer welcome anywhere else that we have stayed.

Hidden GemPosted Oct 15, 2013 on Hotels.com
The location of the hotel is ideal; removed from the chaos of Sorrento, but close enough to walk to the main piazza. Once inside the gate, the hustle and bustle of the city fades and a tranquil garden surrounds you. Angela, the owner, is extremely friendly and accommodating. She upgraded our room to a very large suite, larger than most Italian hotel rooms. Breakfast was very good with a wide and plentiful selection. We highly recommend Relais and would (make that WILL) definitely stay there again.

Very attractive Boutique HotelPosted Oct 9, 2013
Pros: The hotel was down a quiet road and surrounded by lemon trees. Breakfast was in what had been the family dining room.
Cons: Nothing everything was perfect.
Location: Perfect location near to the town center. People watching in Piazza Tasso is a must.
Although we arrived dampened by the rain ours spirits were lifted when we arrived at Relais Villa Savarese. The owner was delightful and the room exactly as advertised. The surrounding gardens and pool a delight and we did manage a morning by the pool. The owner went out of her way to make us feel at home even offering to take is into town when it was raining.

Pros: EVERYTHING the pool area and gardens are a peaceful haven after many hours sightseeing. Rooms spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Stayed here with my daughter 26th September to 29th, wonderful is not enough to describe our stay. The owner is very caring and helpful, she will go out of her way to help. Breakfast is amazing and St Agnello is very safe and everyone is so friendly. Thank you for making our stay a joy will definitely go back. Make sure you take mosquito repellent we didn't but the owner gave us hers to use

ParadisePosted Aug 14, 2013
Pros: Breakfast, surroundings, service, very well managed, thank you Angela. Everything actually.
Cons: Nothing
Location: Set behind large metal gates, 10 minutes walk to a variety of local restaurants, very peaceful, an oasis.
We had a wonderful stay. The villa and grounds are just beautiful and the staff do everything they can to make your stay perfect; a never ending supply of iced water with home grown lemons by the pool, little cooling treats later on. Breakfast was amazing, such a choice of sweet and savoury food, much of it home cooked and served in a cool and beautiful room. Our room was lovely, at the top of the villa with its own terrace; well furnished and very clean and comfortable. If you want peace in paradise - the lemon groves around the pool are lovely - with restaurants within easy walking distance and busy Sorrento a 15 minute walk away, staff who only want you to enjoy your stay, choose Villa Savarese.

Fantastic place to stayPosted May 25, 2013
Pros: The Villa. The Pool. Breakfast room and breakfast. Angela and her staff.
Cons: Nothing
Location: Perfect walk into town following the coast road plenty of places to stop on the way. Local area by sea with wonderful views.
Villa Savarese is the most beautiful of places. Although close to Sorrento and Corso Italia it is a world away and such a peaceful oasis. A few minutes walk towards the sea and there are good retaurants with fantastic views. Relaxing by the pool in the botanical garden with nothing but the birds singing is truly wonderful. We stayed in a classic room overlooking the pool,again beautifully furnished. The breakfast room is gorgeous and the breakfast itself the best we have ever had, home made sweet and savoury and something to suit all tastes. Angela and her staff are the most helpful and friendly people. If you are staying in Sorrento look no further.

Beautiful couples retreat!!Posted Sep 25, 2012
Pros: Brilliant Host, pure luxury!!
Location: 10-15 mins walk from Sorrento (very easy walk!) set back from the road.
This beautiful little boutique hotel was stunning!!! We stayed for a week and enjoyed the buffet breakfast every morning. The host was amazing!! She gave us friendly advise in order to get the most out of our time in Sorrento, such as where to visit, where to eat and most importantly how not to get lost!! Every need we had was catered for free cakes and treats where offered on a daily basis. As we had a very early flight on the day of departure the host arranged breakfast bits to be packed an brought up late the night before we left, which went well beyond the role of any host I've ever come across. If you want a relaxing stay away from the main city centre and you don't mind a 10-15mins walk into Sorrento itself this is the place to stay. It's picturesque and very tranquil and takes you away from the busy town centre.
