Introduction to Terms and Concepts of Taoism: The origins of Taoism are explained in the book, The Taoist Vision (William McNaughton, 1-5): of the main Chinese religions, Buddhism originated in India but Confucianism and Taoism were both from China originally. Taoism, McNaughton explains, is the philosophy "of the Tao," or "Lao-Chuang philosophy." It's called Lao-Chuang because the two most important philosophers in the Tao faith were Chuang Tzu (from the fourth century B.C.) and Lao Tzu (from the sixth century B.C.). Hence, Lao-Chuang.
A few of the basic concepts of Taoism (also known as Daoism), which are not always easy to understand, and need careful, thoughtful examination, are found in McNaughton's book, and presented as follows: a) "Tao" means that knowing you don't know is a superior realization (10) (the sage "takes his flaws to be flaws, and that's how he lacks flaws"); b) "darkness of the Tao" ["Hsuan"] is that something was produced before heaven and earth called "Tao"; man's rule "is earth," earth's rule "is heaven," and heaven's rule "is Tao"); c) water is "the highest good" and "approaches the Tao"); d) nothing under heaven can govern "the uncarved block"; e) the "emptiness of the Tao" (Hsu) means the space between Heaven and Earth is like "a bellows: it's empty and inexhaustible, it moves and continues to emerge ... "; "Heaven extends. Earth endures."
Continuing McNaughton's descriptions of Taoism: f) "darker energy" means to not posses what you produce, and "don't covet what you create"; g) "anti-action" means "what there is comes from what there isn't" and "what you want to shrink, you first must stretch" and "what you want to grab, you first must give"; h) "higher energy never seeks, and never lacks, effect" and " ... lower energy seeks it and always lacks it"; i) "manners" are defined: the use of "manners and mode of conduct ... [is the] attenuation of loyalty and of credibility"; j) "self-like-ness" means that "The Tao does not begin, the Tao does not end" and things have no permanence.
Probably the most well-known of symbols of Taoism are the "Yin and Yang," which are the "dynamic force of the Tao, constantly interacting with one another," according to the Web site www.thetao.info/tao/yinyang.htm. The characteristics of the Yin are: "feminine, passive, receives, soft, dark." The characteristics of the Yang: "masculine, active, creates, hard, bright." The symbols identified with the Yin are the moon, tiger, north, while the Yang's symbols are sun, dragon, and south. The original meaning for Yin was "north side of a hill (away from the sun)," while the Yang's original meaning, the Web site explains, was "south side of a hill (facing the sun)."
A very relevant and exciting discovery was made in China in 1973 when archaeologists discovered two copies of the "Lao-Tzu," the ancient silk manuscripts from a Han Dynasty tomb in southern China, according to an article in Contemporary Review (Mackintosh, 1992). The essence of the manuscripts is "how to find and keep to the way"; the "way" was the goal of all Chinese philosophical enquiry, which was, "what is the way a man should live?" The article's author explains that Lao Tzu was "a semi-mythical sage" who "reportedly" instructed Confucius. But other books indicate that Lao Tzu was a co-founder of Taoism, so there is confusion there.
The Many Faces and Aspects of Taoism: One of the mistakes that researchers have made over the years when studying the origins and development of Taoism is that too much of Taoism has been "ignored or misinterpreted," according to Taoism: The Enduring Tradition (Russell Kirkland, 1-3). The reason for the misinterpretation of Taoism, Kirkland writes, is that there are "diverse but interrelated forms of Taoism" and none of the "interpretive models" that scholars have studied assure a full understanding of Taoism. In other words, Kirkland is saying that there is no single correct and exact form of Taoism (2), but rather there are "mystical" models and "liturgical" models; and there are three types of Taoist traditions: literati (educated and elite believers who subscribe to Taoist ideas from ancient thinkers); communal (they come from many levels of society and are members of "organized Daoist groups [who] have priestly hierarchies, formal initiations, regular rituals) ... "; and the third is self-cultivation, also from all walks of life but their main priority is not communal rites but rather personal health, spiritual immortality and peace of mind, Kirkland explains.
Another misunderstanding about Taoism, Kirkland writes (5), is that Taoism is not a tradition " ... practiced by people who stood outside the normal social order" and launched attacks on that social order; nor was it practiced by (as some religious scholars have erroneously taught) "hermits, misfits, members of rebel movements, or critics of conventional values." Taoism is not, Kirkland asserts on paged 6-7, a set of values that (a) " ... compliment and/or correct our own cultural/religious heritage, yet (b) do not require us to learn anything that we do not already believe ... "
On page 76, Kirkland writes that "many elements of what would later become Taoism could reasonably be traced to ... " the religious, political, and social currents of the Han Dynasty; in fact, it was the Han imperial government that deified Lao Tzu, the author explains. The Han Dynasty, according to the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia (Smith, 70), ruled from 202 B.C. To A.D. 220, and for the most part, practiced "fair Confucian principles of law and administration." The Han dynasty was "as large and developed as the extensive Roman Empire," and clearly, Taoism had its origins at a time when Confucianism is very strong, but people were in the midst of a period of the "flowering of culture, wealth, and learning."
While on the subject of misunderstandings of Taoism, which was brought to light by Kirkland, it is worth noting that in many Taoist texts there is mention of the importance of avoiding "grains," according to the book, Asceticism in Early Taoist Religion (Eskildsen, 43). That early Taoist emphasis on avoiding "grains" has led "many modern scholars" to assume that somehow Taoists had a particular taboo against consuming the "five grains" (rice, glutinous millet, panicled millet, wheat, and soybeans).
However, Eskildsen writes, the word "grains" in terms of what to avoid simply meant to "cut down drastically on the amount" of food taken in by believers. Yes, it meant a reduction in the amount of grain, but it meant fasting from time to time; it meant the avoidance of all foods. In the actual Taoist fast -- based on Zhonghuang jing's ancient writings from roughly 700 C.E. -- (44-45) the Taoist believer quits eating all solid foods and attempts to avoid liquids as well. To help deal with hunger cravings, the believer "frequently swallows air through his mouth and into his esophagus," which supposedly also nourishes his body with "the 'primal qi' of the cosmos," Eskildsen explains.
Many days later, the body is purged of ordinary foods and of "internal demons." "Breath-holding" is practiced from this point on, which "miraculously" creates an "immortal body" which carries out visualizations which allow the believer to see himself ascending to "the heavenly realms of the Great Ultimate (taiji) and the Great Sublimity (taiwei)"; by seeing these realms, he appreciates, according to the teaching of this form of fasting, what he "hopes to some day inhabit."
Meantime, in his book, Myth and Meaning in Early Taoism, author N.J. Girardot reviews a poem about how the time of "chaos" ("hun-tun") in early Taoism was defined not in the terms that "chaos" is thought of in 2005, but as "an unfrenzied paradise." The poem begins, "How pleasant were our bodies in the days of Chaos [hun-tun], needing neither to eat or piss!" But then the reality came along "with his drill" and put nine holes through the poet. Following the appearance of those holes it is repetition and frustration, since now the poet must "dress and eat" and "fret over taxes" and there are "a thousand of us scrambling for a penny."
'We knock our heads together and yell for deal life," the poem ends (21), and it certainly sounds like the frenzy of life in 2005, because it alludes to the things about the human condition that chain people to repetition and competition in a never-ending cycle of treading water so to speak; and yet it is ancient, and notwithstanding it's origins and the time frame, the author writes that this poem helps illustrate the philosophy of early Taoist texts.
The hun-tun theme of chaos, Girardot writes, is based on Emperor Hun-tun and based on the theory of earth's creation (mythological theory); the Chinese used the symbolism of the death of Emperor Hun-tun -- and the "ritual shooting of arrows at a blood-filled sack" (22) that was called hun-tun -- to make an association with the wicked sons of a king or of ministers. They also used that same hun-tun symbolism in their classic literature to depict two differing political alliances trying…[continue]

In fact, Hindus consider their religion not as a form of religion per se, but spirituality in general. Selvanayagam (2005) discussed the Hindu concept of spirituality, which takes into account all possible ways or manner in which enlightenment can be achieved. In India, wherein the Hindu religion is the dominant and an integral part of people's lives, Hinduism is considered more than a religion -- it is also a political

Given a society that is disenchanted with the "ideological and political aspects of religion" the answer would be to embrace the kind of spiritualism that works effectively for healthcare professionals, Pesut continues, because it rejects the social influence of religious dogma and sets the healthcare professional free to interact on a higher level with patients.

Self in World Religions Although religion is primarily a social activity -- even the most solitary and mystical of religious practitioners require an existing creed subscribed to by other people -- to a certain degree religion is required to define the self. In practice, the religious conception of selfhood can work in a number of ways -- either by setting limits to acceptable thought and behavior by the self by establishing
Religious Taoism is the third objective of all Taoist followers although it entails a deep commitment into the priesthood. Priests in ancient China were more than just religious leaders -- they were the doctors, lawyers and intellects of the times as well as the individuals who could deal with evil spirits and the occult. Some things that have come from this function are ideas like Feng Shui where the
In an English concept of second nature performance of an action, no thought only the action is performed. The similar concept of Wu in Daoism, which is being or the ultimate understanding of what being is, is also represented in Buddhism by Atman, the inner or greater self. Taoist thought in China had been exercised for a long time over the relation of non-being to being, (chen-ju) non-activity to activity.
Buddhism and Jainism Based on Michael Molloy's three patterns for comparing and contrasting religions, there seems to be a great deal of similarity between Buddhism and Jainism and marked differences between Hinduism and Taoism (Experiencing the World's Religions: Tradition, Challenge, & Change, 2002.) To start with, Buddhism and Jainism both meet the definition of religion as a 'spiritual path' and Carl Jung's description of religion as meeting the need for personal fulfillment

Good location in relatively quiet piazza,easy walking distance to main sights in Florence. Also close to train and bus station for excursions.
Fabulous location and very pleasant staff. Would return any time.
Location and good mountain view from suite. Great breakfast. Not particularly clean and the folding beds in the suite not comfortable. Staff were professional but not particularly engaging however.
central location, excellent pool area, very good breakfast, nice staff jacuzzi in bath didn't work; no shower curtain, so bathroom got flooded when we had showers; piazza outside is being refurbished, so it is a bit run down at present
the pool was vert useful as it was so warm. there was a building site outside the hotel which we did not know about it.
Convenient location, helpful staff. Good roof pool area with nice view. Room smaller than expected (for a superior double). Work was also taking place in the square meaning the church was covered in tarpaulin and some access roads were closed making it awkward to drive to - also car valet parking service was expensive and we didn't know where vehicle was stored.
The beds were very comfortable with wonderful linen. The room was spacious and clean. There was a strange smell outside the hotel.
Location, quality, service, rooms
Breakfast was included No extra charges, service charge and taxes -a true plus Construction in front of the hotel
The Grand Hotel Minerva is in an excellent position for touring in Florence. Close to the Duomo, shops and restaurants. For the price charged over a weekend, breakfast should have been included.
Ideally located, within walking distance from the various places of interest, including cathedrals, shopping district, dinning, bus & train terminals.
Great location, great pool, great bar, great breakfast. Rooms were not sound proofed and we could hear quiet music next door and everything in the hallway. The beds also rolled far too easily and we're constantly shifting
It's cenral location and upmarket clientele Rooms too small and the complementary coffee making facilities need to be asked for. Breakfast too basic.
Very nice rooms, good breakfast, central location (by foot less than 15 minutes to the dome), private parking,... There is no guarantee for the parking, so it might be that it is full and the private garages are very expensive…
hotel was very clean and staff friendly and helpful. It states they serve American breakfast, unfortunately this is not what I would describe as American breakfast having travelled many times to the USA. I asked for fried eggs, sunny side up as served in USA to be told that would be an extra charge. No choice of eggs only scrambled supplied.No mushrooms or hash browns etc.Dissappointed as this was not what you would expect. The continental breakfast was good.
I enjoyed the convinience of the hotels location and the easily accesible parking area. During our visit the air conditioning was not turned on and the rooms were very hot, and when we inquired about it, the staff told us to open the windows.
The rooms and the hotel staff are very friendly, and its close to the center of Florence.
Excellent room, reliable air conditioning, all facilities new and fresh. Checking in easy, lots of dining choices in neighborhood--and easy access to key Florence sites.
excellent position to centrum and very good parking very complicated and expensivve internet service
the parking
Not bad. While it is not a designer hotel, it is still good value for a hotel close to train station and major tourist site. We had a triple room which was spacious enough for three adults. Room clean, breakfast average. Shower is a bit small.
Good position, good rooms and a nice breakfast. I would expect to have the free wifi/cable internet access in the room package
Centrally located, easy to walk all over the downtown area. The employees were very friendly and helpful, and the view from the restaurant during breakfast was outstanding!
I was t Baglioni Hotel for the Florence marathon. I have apprreciated everything, the location, distance to the train station and to the city center (Piazza del Duomo is only 5min walking). Breakfast, very good selection of food, is at the 5th floor with amazing view of the Duomo and Giotto campanile. Staff was gentle and helpul and let me use the room until 2pm (after the race) without charging the extra time (usual check out is 12). great stay, Thank you
The rooftop garden restaraunt panoramic view is breathe taking! the food was delicious pricey but well worth every bite. The service was very classy, polite, attentive and friendly the staff made me and my two daughters feel very special. The waiter brought my daughter a shawl when he saw that she was cold and offered us one as well. Our room had a window with a view for people watching, the maid kept our room very clean, every evening when we arrived back from a long day our beds would be turned down waiting for us. The location of the hotel was perfect every thing in walking distance. Doormen and bell hops very friendly and courtesy. The gentleman that checked us in was friendly and welcoming and accommodate us with a bigger room when we revealed to him that our room was too small for 3 girls. We were hoping to see him again next day to thank him but we never saw him again. The breakfast is wonderful and delicious! Lots of food even at 945! i love the historical story of the hotel and old pictures of the hotel in the past. The antique furniture, history, and decor can only be appreciated by historical buffs. A historical beauty! Some of the front desk staff were snooty and not very welcoming. The first gentleman we met was friendly we saw him only once out of the six days we were there. When I did ask questions front desk staff very short and make you feel like you are troubling them. The first room #145 was way to small for a mom and two teenage girls. I had adapters for my phone and the only one it would fit in was the bathroom. The Internet is very weak (which I knew coming in seems to be # 1 complaint). When you first walk thru revolving doors there is a woman sitting at a table not sure if she is with hotel however she is not very welcoming she is first person you see and she does not smile or say hello she does not make eye contact she is setting the tone and it is not good, smile say Bon Journo!
Location and interior of the hotel lobby and rooms. Internet connection available (for a fee). Room felt outdated - maybe as in all old 4/5-star hotels in Italy.
The location cannot be beat. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The breakfast was awesome. And the staff were friendly. The only drawback was that the walls are too thin and you can hear a lot of what goes on in the room next door.
Very nice hotel . Old but when you walk in a room looks totally different . White tiles in bathrooms and all very clean and good quality with and charm . Beds a little hard but dig. Great quite rooms looking over inside gurden. Restaurant overlooking all Florance at breakfast and also for dinner with many outside tables . Stuff very friendly and helpful , concierge knows their stuff , ask for their suggesting if you need to travel around. Everything
I have been travelling in Italy for 2 months and this hotel is the best. The position is perfect, the view sensational. Rooms comfy and spotlessly clean. Staff friendly and efficient and are smiling which is rare in customer service in Italy. The restaurant has a wonderful view of Florence, the ambiance and service from the staff are great. A very comfortable and ejoyable stay..10 from me
The hotel is situated in a good shopping and sight-seeing district and is very beautiful. The floors in the room were beautiful but very slippery.
The beds were extremely hard.
A world-class hotel. Staff excude hospitality, the hotel is grand in its design. Rooms have a 19th century ambience, and 21st century appliances. In its excellent location, the hotel leaves nothing to ask for. I would not have minded a simple plastic comb as part of the bathroom accessories.
The hotel is right in front of the train station and in walking didtance of the shopping and sites. Staff very friendly and nice The rooms are quite old and kind of a musty smell
It is close to railroad station and downtown. Staff are proffessional and rooms are clean. We used two rooms. Very nice hotel. None
Buffet breakfast was great Staff made it feel like we were bothering them anytime we asked for their help.
Helpful, friendly staff.
Cleanliness and comfort
Location was excellent.
The central location, virtually adjacent to SMN, coupled with the extremely good value for money.
the room is white colour. shower room is so small.
Clean, good location Attitude of staff
The view from our top floor room with terrace was quite nice - staff not welcoming and with -bad- attitude - beds too hard - rooms too hot (no AC in winter) - breakfast buffet stocked with non-natural (colorant/preservative/high fructose containing) foods
good location, easy to find, good staff, nice decoration, nice bathroom only cable internet but no wifi in rooms, breads are not fresh in the breakfast, the double room is not with a double bed but two sigle beds put together
The breakfast is excellent except the same food during all the stay. Internet is bad. very slow and not accessible
It was close to everything and we could walk to attractions, food and train.
A walking distance (appx. 6-8 mins) to Florence central station, convenient for travellers. The rome facilities are quite old and the shower room is very small.
Right opposite the train and bus station so,if one is travelling from pisa,like we did,once there you don't have to worry about how to get to the hotel.Beside it's close to the centre and the river Arno.Very comfortable beds. We did not like the hot breakfast but the rest is ok.Initially i did not like the interior as it's a bit old and i was expecting a nicer room like the one shown in the pictures when making our booking,but then i got used to it.
The hotel has a great location but that's about it. The room I was given was #400 and the only nice part was the bathroom as it looked new. Tint room and very dark Hated the room but I am sure they have better rooms but wasn't given an option to select while booking
no comment. we only state for couple of hours and check out at the morning 5:00 a.m. we have 4-5 pcs big luggage but no one come to help us to handle the big luggauge when we step in the hotel, they just look at us.
The location of the hotel was superb! (Right next to the station, walking distance to sightseeing spots etc. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would love to stay there bext time I visit Florence.
The location was good. The lobby smelled bad every single day we were there. The bathroom shower leaked water all over and created a mess. It was not as nice as I expected for the price.
Good breakfast and is in a clase location to move around It is too noisy for being next to train station, my room has the windows that did not close properly and when reported they personal just had excuses and told that they were no other rooms available . Seems the motto that client never has the reason, not even a refund !
It was hard to find our room in the new wing.
A beautifully furnished, neat and simple hotel. Quiet and comfortable room with spacious bathroom.
the room is perfect, everyone should stay in this hotel when you travel to Florence.
Fantastic hotel. The room was very big and tidy. It had a wonderful view on the city.
Good service from staff, good standard of cleanliness, quiet location although nice and central.
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel very much. The location is great and very quiet. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable.
I can't state how helpful this hotel staff was. From check-in to check out, they handled everything. The hotel is short on frills, but the staff alone is worth the stay. the shower - weak pressure, barely warm, took a few days to fix, but it eventually got to tepid, so good for water conservation!
I do a lot of travel, and I have to say this is a great boutique hotel , really nice atmosphere. The hotel has a nice diningroom with a great menu. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are super clean.( which is a must) . Great location.
very convenient location, lovely room, comfy bed!
we were impressed with the level of personal service that whilst very helpful was never intrusive. Perhaps one word of caution was that as our bedroom dooor opened outwards we nearly tripped over the vacuum cleaner pipe that was plugged into the wall by our room. The sort of thing that could easily give rise to a liability claim.
The location of the place and near the center and the train terminal.
Please write at least 15 words
A classic Italian hotel, in a quiet location yet close to the railway and bus stations, and within easy walking distance of the main city sights.
Friendly staff Bar was dead.
Comfort and location for our city trip.
The courteous staff and the facilities available. They were renovating a room above ours and the noise was too early, but this is not a criticism of the hotel itself
convenient location, able to book into room two hours early. safe did not work, bathroom window damaged
The staff - very helpful and friendly. Internet access and in good location for the station and airport transfers breakfast was good but not amazing in that some fresh fruit would have gone down so well.
free internet club / excellent breakfast We were not given good room on first night, when we demanded , our room was changed to better one.
Overall, we are very satisfied with this hotel: staff and room services are both very good, clean towels everyday, and location is excellent. This is a no thrill hotel but for toursits spending most of the time touring the city, we endorse whote heartedly. room on the small side.
From Canada, on a 3 week November trip through Italy we chose this hotel as it was right beside the train station and walking distance to major Florence sights. The rooms were quite old and basic but clean. The Internet was free and worked fine in our room. The breakfast was among the best on out trip. The toilet did not work and despite repeated requests was never fixed so we had to resort to dumping water down the bowl.
Hotel staff smooking in a office on the first floor and the office door was open at all times, the corridor was smelly. Room was noisy the whole night. The breakfast didn't included vegetables. Otherwise, good hotel.
It is close to the main railway station (Santa Maria Novella = SMN) and to pretty much everything. Don't get confused with the other stations (there are 4 or 5 in Florence). It ain't cheep, though.
The staff. The rooms were shabby and the noise level from outside was very loud.
close to train station, large rooms, helpful staff, great bus-boys at breakfast. Breakfast was good. Low water pressure. Rooms were dingy. Noisy.
the location is exellent walking distance to any where
The free Wifi, good selection at breakfast buffet, the location near the train station, and nearby supermarkets.
Location - very close to the station ane easy to find. It is clean and staffs are helpful. Free wifi is a bonus and connection is good. Breakfast is not good.
Close to city centre, good breakfast
Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Perhaps breakfast could have had a bit more variety with maybe some fruit ?? But what there was was very fresh and the waiters were very friendly and efficient..
We were on our hooneymoon and were apsolutetly delighful with this hotel. We are definitely coming back next year. Thanx to teh reception manager that has fullfilled our wishes regarding the room. None, everything was great.
Room was good, location great, clean room but reception area had a bad smell. Smell in reception. The pillows were so thin and hard and there were only two and my husband and i sleep with 2 pillows each.
Location of the hotel, room of the hotel and its comfort are the major points that I liked during my stay. Interior design of the hotel is also very appreciable. Closeness to the main rail station and price were my major points while searching the hotels and both are met satisfactorily. Breakfast was also good. Balcony's outside wooden door latch was broken. We wanted to have better ventilation keeping the inside glass door opened but couldn't do so. Commode water flash was not filling fast and bath tub didn't have curtain.
Location was fine. Hotel staff ,especially one member of staff were very helpful..
Hotel Staff were terrific.
very good location within very short walking distance to both train station and the old city
Location. Hotel was very close from the cetral station. The breakfast was not that good compared to the information we had from other people's opinions.
Room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Location was very convenient overall. Staff was not particularly helpful in recommending restaurants or tours - very little information given.
It is exactly next to the train station The night duty snoring officer sleeps on the sofa of the reception area !!!
close to train station poor breakfast quality
The location of the hotel was perfect. One minute from the train station, in walking distance of the town center, and there is a good restaurant a few doors down. The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice and clean.
Perfect Location ; Good Breakfast ; Great for the City Trips Because to near the train station ; noisey
Good location, servise, exelent meals ( just was problem with group, was very noisily during breakfast, very nice atmosphere. Many thanks. I do not have any complains.
The good breakfast and near to train station.
Location. Very friendly and helpful staff. An executive double room is supposed to have a good view as per hotel room descriptioms. Mine did not have that.
I booked a room with a satellite tv, however it had only 4 black and white channels. When I called reception, I was told they had a problem and so we couldn't watch tv. I complained when paying the bill but it was all in vain.
Close to the train station and very central. Staff was very helpful and the room was very comfortable and modern. Loved it.......
Got a room in the City Residence - a suites portion of the hotel. Good value Breakfast location was in a diferent hotel (connected) a long walk.
The room we were given was dark, needed lights on all the time, overlooked a dingy and noisy (half the night) back lane. The hotel was expensive for the quality of room offered. We did not think it rated four star.
Good position, Nice hotel, Fair price, but could be much more expensive A little bit noisy in the night. Windows with double glasses should be needed
Everything was perfect as always. The hotel is central to transportation and the city center which is great. No
The location is very convenient for shopping and nice restaurants nearby.In general it is a comfortable, elegant hotel. This time our room was on the first floor and we could hear the noise from outside. The particular room's bathroom had a musty odor.
A comfortable stay in a good location. It is a short distance from the station and within easy walking distance of the main locations. The staff were helpful and cheerful, especially in the breakfast room.
Location, convenience for station and restaurants Our room only had a skylight so no view - suspect this would be true of all 5th floor rooms;
The hotel is well located in the center of town, near train station and all the old city attractions. Breakfast was excellent wit lots of varieties.
Excellent breakfast too much noise from the windows not sound proof enough.
Very friendly personal. Good location, 5 min. to the Main station, 5 min. to the dome, in the old part of the city. Breakfast for Italy ok. Very clean. Because the hotel is directly at the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, it's a bit noisy at night.
Location of the hotel to the trains/bus station Nice room and view over the square Goof breakfast facilities
Location Couldn't open window for fresh air. When exiting the lift, it was necessary to go down approximately 10 steps to room.
Very kind people - the old fashion building - in the city of Florence near by everything
The excelent localization, and the cleanliness of the room. the breakfast was really good also! It's quite old, but perfectly acceptable..
Proximity to gare de nord WIFI Helpful Staff Nice room The bed was two twins pushed together
Location was close to train station. Bed linens were very old looking. Toilet and shower were not clean even after advising staff. Bathroom outlet fried my hairdryer with Europe converter. Phone to hotel office didn't work.
Very friendly, helpful and courteous staff The corridor leading to our room was exceptionally narrow-cosider using mirrors to eliminate the claustrophobic feeling
The location was perfect and the staff were friendly and helpful. My room was incredible!
This hotel was good for the price. It's very old and not renovated but it's fine. The staff was helpful. The electrical wifing is old so we could only charge one phone at a time or the lights would go out.
The hotel is central for all activities
Simple, clean, quiet room. The location was ideal (2 minute walk to the Duomo). Good breakfast in a beautiful room (or on a sunny terrace). Paris' staff is friendly. The hotel is nothing to write home about, but it is certainly nice and just what we needed for a convenient home base while exploring Firenze.
the rooms were clean,the hotel is very central for site seeing there was a good variety of breakfast that the hotel did not have a bar/lounge
The room was very large and very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There could have been more chairs or a couch in the room
The hotel is in a very good location in fact it is at a stone's throw from Piazza Duomo. The room I was given was far too small, infact ther wasn't any place for me to move around, watching TV was while sitting on the bed and not even two feet away.
Breakfast was nice. Good location relative to the train station. no. But if I were to return to Florence I would look for another hotel, there was nothing special about how we were treated as guests. We have had better treatment at a Holiday Inn for far less money. We felt that we were processed through our stay.
A friendly hotel that was well located, clean and had beautiful , if basic, rooms. We had an excellent time.
The Location
The receptionist was very pleasant and helpful. I liked the location for its proximity to the train station and to town. I would have liked more towels, there seemed to be less than usual. Also there were no spare pillows.
Convenience.Friendly Staff.Good location for centre plus Rail Station Hard Beds!
Close to train station and attractions.
Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Central location.
The second room we were moved to was nice. I also thought the breakfast variety was good and staff were helpful. The first night the room was tiny and the shower way too small for 2 people. The ''double bed'' was two singles pushed together. Disliked this a lot! Very uncomfortable. Was also quite noisy in the mornings and the heating was noisy at nightimes.
This hotel is clean, comfort to stay and the location is perfect. By the way, the staff is helpful. If they can provide more information for the visiting around is better.
location rooms
It is situated virtually on the River and is close to all the Major Bridges, Shopping Areas, Eateries, Bars etc The Bathrooms were small. I suppose that space is paramount in Florence, therefore the smallness. The Hotel Bar was unmanned during my stay. I did not see any airconditioning units in my room. It may have been central airconditioning or heating.
It was fairly central to the main sights and a short walk from the railway station.
Our triple room was ideal as it has an extra bedroom for our 10 year old and two bathrooms, more akin to a small apartment. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly and made restaurant reservations for us etc. The lounge area was very nice and relaxing. Only minor things here really, such as the coffee for breakfast was not of great quality and was a bit stewed! Some of the decor could be updated and maybe a flatscreen TV in the bedroom with more international/English channels. However, we would definitely stay here again.
near to the railway station
The hotel has a convenient and central location in Firenze. About 15 min walk from the touristy center. Lobby looks very good and well kept, so the disappointment is all the bigger when the room looks old and worn. Breakfast was a poor ordeal, even for Italian breakfast standards.
Rather impressive in design and quality of interior, both in public spaces and in room. The room was good-sized, taking into account sleeping area and adjoining alcove. Bathroom was, like the rest, impressive in its appointments, from ceiling mouldings and wall sconces down to floor tiling. For the Booking.Com price of 98 Euros, it was a bargain. I've never gotten a better one. I don't know whether our modestly-priced rooom was an exception or not, but it did show some signs of lack of prompt maintenance. For one instance of three total, a good-sized water stain on ceiling and down to bottom of otherwise impressive and impressively thick ceiling moulding.
location,service no
The location The rooms are small and not renovated
cute design, close to the train station, close to the river, walking distance to attractions in Florence. Directions to the hotel from the train station were not communicated well. It is really simple, but the language barrier made it more difficult. We ended up wandering around for an extra hour with our luggage. The pillows were tiny, more like one layer of badding in a pillowcase. The room was muggy; our laundry wouldn't dry because the a/c only worked when we were in the room. Our key in the slot was the source of all power. The water smelled bad, so it was barely drinkable. We could smell the water even just when showering. Watch out for mosquitoes; we got eaten alive.
The hotel has an authentic Florence atmosphere. The historic architecture of the hotel building is wonderful with wooden beams and brick arches. The dining room ceiling is inspirational. The hotel is on a relatively quiet, narrow, cobbled street but very close to the heart of the city. We found the staff friendly and helpful. They will even make you a fresh expresso at reception at any time! Our ground floor balcony had no view; however the room was enormous which more than made up for it.
Room size was good, one man (tall with glasses) and one woman (blonde) at the front desk were excellent, free internet access available Noisy housekeepers in the early morning shouting and slamming doors -- impossible to sleep in. Shower glass did not seal properly -- ended up with water on floor alot.
Its very close to Duomo and other attractions within walking distance. Our room and bath room were clean. Breakfast is OK with fresh fruits. Our room was looking at a very noisy narrow street. It felt unsafe. Note: We asked to change our room and the staff immediately did it.
breakfast, location to sites, large bathroom with full bath tub and the new renovations make it a very nice place the cleaning products used to clean the room left a strange smell requiring the windows opened to air the room out
The rooms were extremly spacious and clean. Very comfortable stay. When we checked in the the gentleman at the reception although very helpful did not provide us with correct information and his English was not the best. He also did not provide us with correct advise in relation to the car park. The day staff were excellent.
good location, friendly staff
Proximity to train station. Hotel personnel. Comfort. Breakfast.
Good location near the train station, beautiful room (but a but noisy from the street), and helpful staff. Breakfast was good.
It is so hard to say what we liked best. Everything about this hotel was excellent. The room was hugh, actually it was 2 rooms, one with a lounge suite and one with the big bed, bar fridge, tele, and a large wardrobe. Lots and lots of room to move around. The staff were more than helpful and nothing was a bother. The receptionists spoke excellent english, a real bonus. They even phoned & faxed another hotel, to change our booking for us, and didn't charge us for it. They made bookings for us at museums etc. at no charge and made our trip a total pleasure. We give this hotel and it's staff 10 our of 10. The buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful.The laundry service was fast and very affordable. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay Leaving.
It in the center of the city with all the attractions within walking distance, yet on a very quiet street. Staff spoke perfect english. The breakfast was good. The hotel has a parking however, its not free. They charged us 13 euro per night for it.
Ac works great, location.
the size of the room, the very quiet and effect air conditioner, and the large bathroom and free internet access. area for case not in the bedroom simple clean and perfect.
room was clean and tidy and close to the main railway station. Staff were helpful, one in particular. staff 'supervising' breakfast - quite odd as they appear to have very little to do other than take your room number then watch to you eat your breakfast.
Located close to the station and reasonable restaurants nearby Compared with similar standard hotels in Turin and Pisa, it was more expensive, yet the breakfast was the poorest of the three with a limited choice, coffee from a machine and meat and cheese on one serving plate
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included, and internet access was available. The hotel was very easy to get to from the train station, and all major attractions were within easy walking distance.
breakfast and room perfect
good location. free private parking. I asked for a rear room and got it. for one night it was alright. mattresses are in bad shape. the room was clean but full of dead mosquitos on the walls. no ventilation in the shower
parking on site and location - easy to walk to centre of city room was small, cell-like, very plain. not given room with internet access although requested it.
There is a private carpark in the hotel. As we rented a car, this was very useful as it felt safe, and saved us 24euros for overnight parking.Location is reasonable walkable from SMN station. The staff service was not so great during our stay, we felt like we were imposing. There was a misunderstanding on the hotel rates during check out, but the hotel promptly offered to refund us the difference after we left the country, which was great.
The hotel has it's own parking lot, which is a big plus in Florence. We left the car there and walked everywhere from the hotel. All the most important things, like Duomo, are within walking distance. If you walk too far you can always take a cab back for about 10 euros. The hotel was clean and the room was nice. The staff was very nice too. Nothing

liability during private secondary student excursions away from the campus and classrooms. The writer examines the many issues surrounding the need for such excursions and how possible liability is impacting such excursions and the professors' willingness to have them. There were five sources used to complete this paper.
Students spend many years preparing for their secondary education and arrive at university anticipating a lifetime of experiences in the next four to six years. Higher education is more than sitting in a classroom and taking notes and it is more than passing a midterm and a final. University learning is supposed to stretch and expand the mind in the direction of higher level thinking skills, thereby preparing the student to think and create once he or she gets out into the world. One of the things that professors have used to enhance the quality of learning for university students is the excursion experience. Excursions allow the teacher to take the students out of the classroom and into the world for the purpose of examining their class subject in three dimensional form. Excursions can be one day, or a long multiple day or week trip for the purpose of exploring class content and lessons. Many different types of classes benefit from excursions including science, history, political sciences and others. An excursion can be used to complete a lesson, teach a lesson or trigger a new idea which can be followed up in the traditional setting of the university. Unfortunately with the world becoming more and more litigation inclined the liability of universities and professors themselves has begun to reduce the number of excursions professors and other university personnel are willing to take with their students.
Secondary private schools are currently examining the legal framework that regulated the school organizations and administrations in this endeavor with and for their students. Current common law and education statutes govern several of the concerns regarding the act of off campus excursions for private secondary schools. One of the chief concerns lately is the concern of transportation to and from the excursion or camp. Due to recent concerns about accidents and injury of the students while they are being transported either to or from the excursion the schools have begun to look at alternatives as well as protections in this venue. With the changes that are taking place the schools are having to find a balance between self-protection and providing the best possible education for their students.
In 1861 The Education Act in Great Britain provided a responsibility of duty of care which mandated the teacher or school leader is responsible for the safety of the students in their charge when on excursions. In the following years there were additions and developments to the statute that further refined the meaning of duty of care. The result of these changes created an exposure to breach of duty claims when injuries occur during school excursions.
Within the college leadership structure, a curriculum committee is in existence, which is made from the heads of departments, deputy principals and the principal pf the college. It is in this committee's charter to plan and formulate directions in the college, represent each respective department in the college and create and implement policies that have a direct bearing on the effectiveness of curriculum issues. It is from this that the issue of school-based excursions came to light as being an area that required immediate attention in regard to planning, legal implications and procedure in order to enable least disruption to subject teachers in their planning of teaching concepts, and successful excursions with reduced capacity for legal problems. It is important to develop a solid policy regarding such liability so that universities can maintain the lowest possible tuitions, insurance rates and maintain the ability to provide excursions for the students.
The element that caused this policy to be birthed actually came from teachers who had concerns when students were absent from their classes because they were on excursions for other classes.
This concern translated to the need for department heads to sit down and formulate a policy to provide a cohesive atmosphere in which teachers can take students on excursions without worrying about legal liability or the fact that the students may be missing valuable instruction time in other classes. Once the procedure was established it was believed that teachers following it would be able to coordinate their needs with the student needs and not clash with the desire to go on excursions. In addition the policy works to prevent careless choices that might produce injury and thereby lowering the school liability.
The duty of teachers to exercise care when taking their students on excursions includes hours outside of school as well as inside of the school day. According to the act the teacher who has the students on an excursion has a duty to be careful of any decision or choice regarding that excursion that might cause injury to the students who are included (Tronc, 1989).
The policy considered and discussed the many different types of excursions that students may find themselves taking with their class and it was decided that activities which present a logical and high risk of danger should be avoided all together including white water rafting, abseiling and others). Any excursion that may present a danger should also be discussed with the head of the school and not undertaken without his or her express understanding of what the excursion is going to entail and the agreement that the trip can be undertaken.
The transporting of university students presents a dangerous liability to the school and the teacher. In recent years there have been several instances in which students have been injured or killed during the act of being transported either to or from school trips. The new policy mandates that several steps be followed so that the liability of the teacher and the school can be reduced during the transporting of students for the purpose of school excursions.
The supervising teacher(s) should ensure that:
• permission notes, including details of travel arrangements, have been signed by parents/guardians. This factor includes the proof that the parents are aware the trip is coming and that they give their permission for their student to be transported to and from said trip.
• copies only of permission notes are taken on the excursion. This element allows for the authorities to know that the students were granted parental or guardian permission to attend the trip and in the event of an accident the slips remove much of the previously encountered red tape regarding jurisdiction and treatment that may be deemed necessary.
• public transport is used whenever possible. This element of the policy is important because it potentially shifts the transportation liability of the students from the school to the public transportation methods and companies and government that oversees the transportation.
• adequate transport is provided for the number of people involved in the excursion. This element provides the future protection and defense of the school should an accident or injury occur. It allows the school to prove that it was exercising all possible choices to protect the students from injury in the event one occurs.
• all normal safety rules apply
(PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS http://www.pgrnet.org.uk/information/backread.htm)
The current state of litigation is causing teachers to hesitate or refuse all together to take part in off campus excursions. This in turn is creating a lower standard of education and less fulfilling educational experience for the students. It is important for the policy to address the transportation issue of excursions and create a safer less liable atmosphere so that teachers and professors can continue to use excursions as part of their classroom curriculum (Valente, 1997).

The first engineering class I took at Allan Hancock College was really challenging for me, but I thanked the counselor who showed me the way to the MESA program. There I was overwhelmed by all the resources offered and especially by all the students taking the same classes. Study groups with MESA students really made it easier for me to achieve. I am happy to say that I made it this far not only because of my determination to achieve a higher education, but also because of the wonderful people that I met at Hancock who encourage students to go the extra mile and accomplish their dreams.

Gotta stop and smell the roses.
That's a true friend
Road apples of love.
Having seen street people pick butts off the ground and out of ashtrays, smoking her own fresh ones around "horse doots" will be easy for Mrs. Olsen.
@Aliksikakos- Not really. When you stop smoking your sense of smell comes back. Even your taste buds revive. The sensation can be a bit overwhelming. Horse doots will be one powerful smell for that old nose.
Actually, one's smell comes back highly sensitized. I quit over 30 years ago and I can still smell someone smoking in the next car at a stop light – with the windows closed.
Your senses of smell and taste don't come back highly sensitized after you have stopped smoking. They are just gone back to normal. While you were smoking they were almost dead.
About your car-story: I am sorry, but this is imagination. I had the same experience in my younger days. One evening I had too much Wodka. It was so much, that I was sick the next two days. Afterwards, not only during the next few month, no, even during the next two or three years, I immediately smelt the Wodka when at the other end of the bar somebody opened a bottle.
Pure Wodka … hum, I mean pure imagination.
This shows, that your body still isn't through with the stuff, even when you had stopped smoking thirty years ago.
Smell of horse poop, smell of cigarettes, what's the difference?
To this ex-smoker, the cigarettes are worse.
Horse Doots???? Never heard of it called that. lol
Reminds me of Harry Morgan as Marshal Walter Thibido in John Wayne's last movie, "The Shootist."
When Thibido first encountered John Bernard Books (Wayne), he concluded that meeting with the words, "The day they lay you away, what I'll do on your grave won't pass for flowers!"
I go to Mackinac Island a lot…..The smell of horse poop brings back wonderful memories…..Just don't eat the straw fudge……
We had two janitors at our school: Dial Fussel and Ken Mudge. I always wondered if they'd made those names up.
Smelling some one else smoking in a car is certainly not imagination. I have never smoked, but when I am driving, I will catch a whiff of that nasty odor, and if I look around, sure enough, there is someone smoking in the car ahead of me, or off to the side. Most smokers probably don't realize how much real estate they stink up. Walking in the park, for example, they leave a trail of stink hundreds of feet behind them.
Awww. Frazz cares a LOT for Ms. Olson!
I wonder what life lessons SHE taught HIM when he was in her class.

All teen and kid member reviews for The Real Husbands of Hollywood
Kids say
(out of 2 reviews)
age 11+
Review this title!
I love this show to death. The first season was completely hilarious but the second season is ok.. not as funny but i still love watching it. The cameo Bobby Brown made in season 2 was soo funny. Kevin Hart is a genius and more people should watch this show. They do curse frequently but nothing major. Sexual content is represented like when Kevin and his ex wife have sex on one episode but nothing is shown, just suggested that they did do it. Other than that, the show is full of laughs and many guests appear. I recommend watching it, 1st season is better though.
What other families should know
Too much sex
Too much swearing

Champion (Chipmunk song)
|Single by Chipmunk featuring Chris Brown
|from the album Transition and F.A.M.E.
|"Power Trip"
|8 November 2010
|3:58 (single edit)
5:54 (album version)
|Fyffe, Samuels, Bellinger, Chris Brown, Kevin McCall, Erika Nuri
|Harmony "H-Money" Samuels
|Chipmunk singles chronology
"Champion" is a song by British rapper Chipmunk featuring American singer Chris Brown from Chipmunk's second studio album Transition (2011). It was released as the second single from the album on 6 February 2011 in the United Kingdom. The song was written by Harmony Samuels, Chipmunk, Eric Bellinger, and Erika Nuri, and it was produced by Samuels. According to Chipmunk, he wants the listeners of the song to "feel like they were born a champion".[1] The song was later added to the international Deluxe edition of Brown's fourth album, F.A.M.E. (2011).
The song peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Chipmunk's second highest-charting single.
Speaking in April 2011 to noted UK urban writer Pete Lewis - Assistant Editor of Blues & Soul - Chipmunk shed light on the background to the song and Chris Brown's involvement: "That was definitely a big learning experience for me - not just in terms of being an artist, but in terms of LIFE! Because, with Chris being on it, people were saying that they didn't wanna support the track before they'd even HEARD it! Which meant I really had to engage myself and find the inner strength to say 'Yo, I'm gonna go with this track REGARDLESS! Because I know what this song means to ME, I know that it means to CHRIS - and if it's from the heart then it can't go WRONG!'!"[2]
Critical reception[edit]
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating: "Like a friend who cancels dinner plans five minutes after you've arrived at the restaurant, a British artist fleeing to the US is usually frustrating and, at times, unforgivable. Are we really that awful to be around? Anyway, on first glance we thought Chipmunk was destined to become our latest Hot 100-fixated expat, but, after a closer inspection, it's clear he's actually doing something rather more savvy. By drafting in Chris Brown while keeping his sound akin to previous hits, Chip's taken a best-of-both-worlds approach to this latest chart-botherer - a fist-clenching, anthemic midtempo electro-R&B stomper that ponders the glorious highs and depressive lows of fame over a 'Changes'-style piano line. "Some people wait their turn / Some people, but not me / I was born a champion," he insists with utter conviction.

LORENE MARKS-FOREMAN, Plaintiff,
REPORTER PUBLISHING COMPANY; STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND; EUCCE AND ASSOCIATES; JAMES BUZAN; AND BEATRICE HINES, Defendants.
I. Introduction
A. Background
Lorene Marks-Foreman ("Plaintiff"), proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The First Amended Complaint ("FAC")
alleged that State Compensation Insurance Fund ("SCIF") and Reporter Publishing Company ("RPC") violated Plaintiff's constitutional rights by refusing workers' compensation payments to her for injuries sustained in an attack by an unknown assailant during the course of Plaintiff's employment as a reporter with RPC. The FAC also alleged that Defendant Beatrice Hines ("Hines"), an employee of SCIF, violated Plaintiff's constitutional rights by employing "bullying tactics" while questioning her about her claim. SCIF is a public enterprise fund established by the State of California for the purpose of transacting workers' compensation insurance. See CAL. INS. CODE § 11773. Plaintiff further alleged that the investigative techniques used by Eucce and Associates ("Eucce") and James Buzan ("Buzan"), working under a contract with SCIF, violated her constitutional rights. Defendant Eucce is a private company that employs Defendant Buzan as a private investigator. In addition, the FAC contained supplemental state law claims against Eucce and Buzan for trespass and infliction of emotional distress. The FAC did not contain any claims relating to Plaintiff's on-the-job injuries. Federal jurisdiction was predicated solely on Defendants' alleged unconstitutional conduct with regard to Plaintiff's workers' compensation claim.
On November 21, 1997, Plaintiff met with all Defendants before Magistrate Judge Brooks at the Early Neutral Evaluation Conference ("ENE") conducted pursuant to this Court's Local Rules. A Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") was placed on the record at this conference. The terms of the Agreement were recited on the record, and the transcript of the hearing demonstrates that the Defendants' counsel and the Plaintiff explicitly agreed to these terms. The Agreement provided that Plaintiff would dismiss her complaint against Hines, SCIF, Buzan, and Eucce in exchange for (1) $ 1,500; (2) an apology from Hines; (3) an agreement that Hines would no longer work on Plaintiff's workers' compensation claims; and (4) a declaration from Buzan and Eucce to assure Plaintiff that no further surveillance would be conducted.
On or about December 16, 1997, Defendant's attorney received a copy of an "Addendum to Settlement Agreement" ("Addendum") drafted by Plaintiff. In this document, Plaintiff stated that at the time of the ENE, her understanding and intent was not to dismiss SCIF from the complaint and that she understood that SCIF would remain a defendant in the case. Plaintiff again expressed that she did not intend to dismiss SCIF from the action on December 22, 1997, at the Settlement Disposition Conference before Magistrate Judge Brooks.
On March 10, 1998, Plaintiff subsequently filed a motion for an order to enforce the Agreement, including her Addendum. On March 31, 1998, Plaintiff filed an ex parte application for the Court to set aside its dismissal order and to enforce the Agreement. Upon due consideration of the moving and responding papers and for the reasons given below, the Court hereby DENIES Plaintiff's motion and ex parte application.
B. Factual Findings
The following individuals appeared at the ENE: Anton C. Gershler, Esq., attorney for Eucce and Buzan; Betty Quarles, Esq. ("Quarles"), attorney for Hines and SCIF; Margaret Quarterman ("Quarterman"), the risk manager for SCIF; Jerry Eucce; James Buzan; Lorene Marks-Foreman; and Robert R. Blasi, a friend of Plaintiff.
The transcript of the ENE before the Magistrate Judge on November 21, 1997, recorded the original settlement agreement as pertained to SCIF:
MS. QUARLES: . . . In consideration for the sum of $ 1,500 and an apology from Beatrice Heinz [sic] for any conduct which was taken to offend Ms. Foreman, Ms. Foreman agrees to dismiss the complaint and the first amended complaint against State Compensation Insurance Fund and Defendant Beatrice Heinz [sic].
(emphasis added).
When questioned about the terms of the agreement, Plaintiff stated that she accepted the terms:
THE COURT: Ms. Marks-Foreman, have you heard the terms that were stated so far by the attorneys and myself?
MS. MARKS-FOREMAN: Yes, sir, I have.
THE COURT: Do you accept those terms?
MS. MARKS-FOREMAN: I accept those terms, sir.
Subsequently, on or about December 16, 1997, Plaintiff indicated though her Addendum that the Agreement was not her understanding, as she did not wish to dismiss SCIF from the action. In paragraph four of her Addendum, Plaintiff wrote:
(a) California State Compensation Insurance Fund for Negligence remains in THIS ACTION. The November 21, 1997 Mandatory Early Neutral Evaluation Conference was NOT addressed. The State of California failed to ANSWER the complaint for it's [sic] Negligence against plaintiff, THEREFORE,
(b) the state legal counsel answered for Beatrice Hines, "DEFENDANT" ONLY for her Conduct in the matter of 97 CV 0675 B, whereby, leaving the State of California within the ACTION.
(c) Due to the failure of the California State Compansation [sic] Insurance Fund's failure to answer for their acts of Constitutional Violations against plaintiff. The amended complaint shall encompass all relevant facts, issues, and all other known and unknown facts within the amended moving pleadings on or before April 20, 1998.
(emphasis in original).
II. Analysis
A. Standard of Law
Under federal law, the Court has inherent authority to enforce a settlement agreement in an action pending before it. See In re City Equities Anaheim, Ltd., 22 F.3d 954, 957 (9th Cir. 1994); Callie v. Near, 829 F.2d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 1987); TNT Marketing, Inc. v. Agresti, 796 F.2d 276, 278 (9th Cir. 1986). To be enforced, a settlement agreement must meet two requirements. First, it must be a complete agreement. See Maynard v. City of San Jose, 37 F.3d 1396, 1401 (9th Cir. 1994); Callie, 829 F.2d at 890 (citing Ozyagcilar v. Davis, 701 F.2d 306, 308 (4th Cir. 1983)). Second, both parties must have either agreed to the terms of the settlement or authorized their respective counsel to settle the dispute. See Harrop v. Western Airlines, Inc., 550 F.2d 1143, 1144-45 (9th Cir. 1977). A party's attorney may enter into a settlement agreement if he or she has the express permission of his or her client. Id. at 1145.
B. Plaintiff's Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement
Although it is true that "where material facts concerning the existence or terms of an agreement to settle are in dispute, the parties must be allowed an evidentiary hearing," Callie, 829 F.2d at 890, no hearing is necessary here because the terms set forth at the ENE are unambiguous, leaving no material facts in dispute.
1. Plaintiff will be protected from her mistaken acceptance
Plaintiffs motion is to enforce the Agreement. However, she has specifically indicated that the Agreement of November 21, 1997, was not her understanding. The Agreement provided that Plaintiff would dismiss her complaint against all defendants, including SCIF, while the Addendum stated that she did not intend to dismiss the complaint against SCIF. Generally, a mistake as to terms of a settlement must be mutual to invalidate an agreement. See U.S. v. Kuhl, 816 F. Supp. 623, 628 (S.D. Cal. 1993). Here, Defendants understood that Plaintiff's complaint against all Defendants, including SCIF, would be dismissed; therefore, there was no mutual mistake.
However, the Court has a duty to protect pro se litigants, as they are unskilled in legal matters and prone to errors. See Karim-Panahi v. Los Angeles Police Dept., 839 F.2d 621, 623 (9th Cir. 1988). While the transcript from the ENE evidences that Plaintiff did personally accept the terms of the Agreement at the ENE, the Addendum demonstrates that she later claimed to misunderstand what was clearly stated in the Agreement. The Court must focus on whether the pro se litigant knowingly accepted the Agreement. See U.S. v. Balough, 820 F.2d 1485, 1487-88 (9th Cir. 1987). As Plaintiff is representing herself without legal training against attorneys who have the advantage of familiarity with the law, this Court will give her the benefit of the doubt and will not bind Plaintiff to her alleged mistake.
2. The Addendum invalidated the Agreement
Plaintiff refers to her Addendum as a "minor insert." Plaintiff appears to argue that the court should enforce the Agreement as modified by her Addendum. However, the Defendants never agreed to the Addendum. Plaintiff claims she did not accept the Agreement at the ENE; if so, the agreement was an unaccepted offer. An acceptance that modifies the terms of an outstanding offer constitutes a counteroffer, which terminates the original offer. See Collins v. Thompson, 679 F.2d 168, 171 (9th Cir. 1980); In re Pago Pago Air Crash, 637 F.2d 704, 706 (9th Cir. 1981). There is no contract unless the counteroffer is accepted. See In re Pago Pago, 637 F.2d at 706. Here, there was never an acceptance by Defendants of Plaintiff's counteroffer. Because this Court holds that Plaintiff's counteroffer "invalidated" the original offer, there is no settlement agreement for the Court to enforce.
3. SCIF was represented at the ENE
Plaintiff states in the Addendum that SCIF was not represented at the ENE and thus could not have consented to the Agreement. While SCIF had not yet been served at the time of the ENE, SCIF voluntarily entered its appearance and was represented by both Quarterman and Quarles. Any party wishing to appear before another judge or magistrate judge for a settlement conference may do so. See Apple Computer Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation, No. C-88-20149-VRW, 1993 WL 207982, at *3 (N.D. Cal. April 14, 1993). A party can authorize its counsel to settle a dispute on its behalf See Harrop, 550 F.2d at 1144-45. Quarles stated on the record at the ENE that she was representing both Hines and SCIF. Furthermore, Quarterman, the risk manager for SCIF, attended the ENE on behalf of SCIF. Quarterman stated on the record that she was authorized to enter into a settlement on behalf of SCIF and did accept the terms of the Agreement for SCIF. Therefore, Plaintiff's argument that SCIF was not a participant in the Agreement fails.
III. Conclusion
Plaintiff's motion for an order to enforce settlement agreement is DENIED. The Agreement is an incomplete settlement agreement and is therefore unenforceable. Furthermore, Plaintiff's counteroffer rendered the Agreement void. For the same reasons, Plaintiff's ex parte application is also DENIED.

Nice, friendly staff, very attentive to our requests. We got back very late,and had no problem being served in the dining room. Plenty of parking. A great alternative to staying in Cordoba which is 15 - 20 minutes.
Beds are too small
Nothing special. It was OK. Parking was good.
Very out of the way, but Ok for staying between Saville and Cordoba
although the room appeared to be clean we had to kill a cockroach that was wandering around the room unfortunately
quietness of room and setting
seem to be quite a number of flies in eating areas
The room was spacious ,clean and comfortable
The restaurant and cafeteria are not in the hotel but are 50m away - not a problem usually but it was raining heavily when we were there . The parking is very tight and if your car is at the back you have to wait for the cars in front to be moved before you can get out.We told the staff that we needed to leave early.They said it would not be a problem but did not appear to move the cars until 9.45am
staff& position
Big rooms, nice clean, hotel, ease of access.
The bar stuff was not too friendly - but that's just me.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
