Historical Traveler Reviews Grand Hotel Parco del Sole Sant'Agnello
Home away from home
I agree with "seeing is believing". My 19 year old daughter and I just returned from a week at the Parca del Sole and we would go back again. The service was wonderful, the staff friendly and welcoming. Our room was spotless and we enjoyed the meals. I think it is a matter of embracing a new culture.
Not recommended !!!
maybe the person who highly praised this hotel stayed well off seaon...the description they gave seemed like another establishment.I tend to agree with the honemooners.I thought it bad enough that I should pay full wack for such bad service but for someone on their honeymoon this must have been terrible and I am truly sorry that such a special time should be ruined by a hotel parading as 4 star.I have stayed in better B & B's.The restaurant was like a mess hall and the waiters,on the whole miserable.The reception staff were polite and pleasant but would totally ignore any complaints.The manager merely floated around.The pool area became more and more crowded by screaming children and their inept parents.To get in to town was a nightmare despite the short distance.If you are booked for here,take the train...only 2 minutes and you can get a weekly bus/train card from a local shop ,across the road from the statue in sant.agnello square for 7 euro 40.I do not mean to berate the area but essentially it is Sorrento where ' it is all happening '....far better to book your hotel in Sorrento itself.
I met some lovel people ( guests -Linda and Bethany ) at the hotel as well as around and about but the hotel soured my holiday.Stay clear.Go 3 star and save your money.
,Firstlymay i point out this hotel is in sant agnello and not in sorrento.It makes a big difference when you try to hit town.See my later comments.I
think ' Seeing is Believing 'must have stayed at a different Parco Del Sol than me.I really do not know where to begin with my criticism of this hotel but I only think it fair to remark on the positive first.I cannot praise the domestic staff enough for keeping our rooms so clean.The gardens were well kept and from the outside the hotel did look attractive.From there it is a rather steepdown hill ride.The restaurant is on the level of a canteen.You are herded in and beware of being seated next to the swing doors next to the kitchen.The table was situated next next to the door which swung into the restaurant and it was only sheer luck that it did not hit the chair.The waiters were generally miserable,unsmiling and surly.....trained by Basil FawltyI think.The food food was was not too bad but because of the mayhem we gave up going and went into town.We too were given the impression that this was a child free zone.Sadly far too many there .This did cause problems at the pool through noise and clutter.Kids are great but not when you were given an impression that you were going to have a peaceful time and had paid the full wack to ensure it.
It is very difficult to get into town and to walk it is no favour to your lungs.
We had no hot water for 2 days and were compensated only by a cheap bottle of sparkling wine.
Seriously,do not expect 4 star from this hotel.I have been to another hotel in the area before,Sorrento that is and it showed the parco del sol as not being the 4 star it has been given.
Take care when booking your holiday.Stick to Sorrento itself and avoid this hotel.
Brilliant service
We stayed at the Parko del Sole for one week, we found our room spotlessly clean, (the cleaner did a fantastic job every day) with modern bathroom and nice balcony. The reception staff and hotel management were friendly and helpful. The pool area and bar was well maintained, quiet and relaxing. the food and wine selection was excellent, the service was very good and the hotel drinks prices very reasonable. all in all a good value hotel with respectable standard of guests with some familys-but no screaming kids or lager louts! i would recommend to a friend.
Loved the service -beutifufl room friendly staff average food
Stayed Sep/Oct 2003 in refurbished part of hotel.
Fantastic room and roomservice. Good and plenty
for Breakfast ,evening meal sometimes a little
dissapointing.Restaurant syaff extremely efficient
and friendly.Would go again but its location from
Sorrento is too far to walk after the evening meal
No views. No entertainment.
Rubbish and Disappointing
Be warned, this is a rubbish hotel. We booked for our honeymoon, and would never wish the experience we had upon anyone. The standard of the hotel was extremely low, rooms were dirty and shabby, bathrooms were old and mouldy. This is was a lower standard than we would expect in Ireland from a 2 star or B & B! The hotel failed to pick us up from Naples airport, and when we asked for a refund on our taxi fare due to their mistake, they refused to take responsibility. Our room had no balcony and was overlooking the function building - which made it extremely noisy. When we asked to move to a room with a balcony as per our booking, we were relegated to a damp dark basement room with a sub ground level "terrace." We could look up and see peoples feet as they walked around the pool. When we asked for a transfer to another hotel, they offered a lower rated hotel in a more remote location. Upon inspection, while it seemed a lot friendlier, it was not the type or location we were looking for on our honeymoon. All-in-all, while this may look impressive from the outside, this hotel was shabby to say the least and its management and staff were unhelpful, unfriendly and unprofessional.
Overpriced Hotel with Rude Staff, Terrible Food, Cramped Rooms
"Don't!" - That's my advice if you are thinking of staying at this hotel. The Italians here are the rudest people that I have ever come across. For breakfast you get served the previous evenings desserts, with UHT carton milk that has gone sour. The evening meals are of a poor standard, and you are herded into the dining room like cattle, and not allowed to sit at a table of your choice.
The hotel is located just off the only main road into and out of the Sorrentine penisular. A lot of the hotel rooms actually face onto this road, and the traffic is non stop. You attempt to cross this road at you own risk. The Italians (especially the scooter riders) do not stop at all. They carry animals, children, building materials on these scooters. Most of them do not wear helmets or use lights in the dark. I witnessed one woman being knocked flying on a zebra crossing by one such scooter rider. There are no pavements to walk on and the fumes from the traffic are overpowering. Running paralell to the main road from Sorrento back to Naples are slum areas with people living in tin shacks, streets piled high with rubbish, fly tipping, and billboard posters stuck to any available surface.
4 Star more like 3rd rate
This hotel was a great dissapointment, its 4 star rating is a lie, the people running the hotel wouldn't know 4 star service if it hit them in the face. The food was not good at all and there was never enough to eat, with one exception, Buffet night, when you could eat as much or as little as you required, the problem with this was every guest in the Hotel was told to turn up at 7pm in order to eat which meant queing like children for a table and then once seated the queue for the buffet was rediculous.
The hotel is situated up a drive from the main Naples to Sorrento road, which made it very noisy.
The one saving grace was the room, (although the view from our room was of the apartments opposite with the washing on the lines) the maid service was good.
We were also told that no children under the age of 12 were allowed to stay there which was one of our main reasons for staying there, as our children are grown up now and we wanted to relax in peace, not so, I lost count of the babies and small children staying there.
In short I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone.
Good Value
Have stayed at Parco del Sole several times and am returning this year. Excellent location, comfortable rooms, good service, lovely food. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Seeing is believing!
After reading the mainly poor reviews covering the last 2-3 years revealed about this hotel, I seriously contemplated changing the hotel to another within Sorrento. However, I decided to 'give it a go' and was I glad. Our party of 4 stayed this month from 17 May for 7 days and what a wonderful time we had. The refurbishment of the rooms has been well done, the bathroom we had was superb, as was the extra balcony. We did have the noise from the lift area close by, but this was only really noticeable when very busy. The little added extras (no extra charges) were very surprising e.g. digital security boxes in the room, air-conditioning, free towels provided by the poolside and other little touches. Bathrooms also had washing lines and shower curtains, if requested, were provided. Food was very varied, Gala night and buffet night a real experience. Nothing was too much for the hotel staff, the Thompson Rep. was also very good. The hotel is situated very close to the main road into Sorrento, so one can only expect some disturbance, but to walk alongside the traffic is quite some feat. Not for the faint-hearted but to us, it was part of the excitement. To boldly go!!!
Overall, this hotel is a genuine 4 star, in beautiful surrounding gardens, spotlessly clean and a restful ambience. Suitable for those wanting quality, good food, pleasant surroundings and a 'touch of class'. We will certainly be going back in the next couple of years. Mr Achilles (Manager) is to be commended and ably supported by very good staff of all disciplines.

Lian Yu
this wiki
|Lian Yu
|North China Sea
| Island
|Chinese government
Lian Yu (Traditional Chinese: 煉獄; Mandarin pronunciation: Liànyù; literally "purgatory") is an island in the North China Sea where Oliver Queen was intermittently stranded for 5 years, between 2007 and 2012, before he was found by Chinese fishermen. The island is currently used by A.R.G.U.S. as a supermax prison.
Overview Edit
Lian Yu houses herbs that are capable of healing almost any injury. These herbs are so effective, they were capable of healing almost any type of poison, including Floyd Lawton's Curare, and Sara Lance of snake venom almost instantly. These herbs became a necessary component to allow Oliver Queen to treat his poison-related injuries while at the same time, keeping his identity a secret. There is a large A.R.G.U.S. prison located underneath the island's beach. It appears they haven't explored much of the island as many of Oliver's booby traps remain.
Having spent years on the island, Oliver learned to be resourceful and set booby traps all over the island in the common event he ran into dangerous people.
History Edit
Season 1 Edit
After shipwrecking on the island, Oliver buried his father on a hillside using several large stones. At first it seemed that Oliver was alone on the island, however, he soon learned that was not the case.
Flashbacks revealed that the island had been used by the Chinese government to banish prisoners, including the former General Yao Fei. It was then used by Edward Fyers and his mercenaries for an operation for an unknown employer. This plan involved launching a missile strike on a Chinese plane, in an effort to cause an international incident and damage the Chinese economy. For this plan, Fyers wanted to use Yao Fei as a scapegoat.
Two ASIS agents were sent to free Yao Fei, but they were captured by Fyers as well. One of the agents, Slade Wilson, escaped with Yao Fei to the jungle, while the other agent, Billy Wintergreen, joined the Mercenaries.
Slade and Yao Fei got seperated, and Yao Fei found the stranded Oliver and tried to teach him some survival skills. Oliver eventually got captured by the mercenaries of Fyers and tortured by Billy Wintergreen in an effort to tell them about the location of Yao Fei. Oliver refused to tell them, and Fyers ordered Billy to kill him. At that moment Yao Fei burst in and took out Fyers before engaging into a brutal fight with the former ASIS agent. He managed to knock out Billy and fled with Oliver into the woods.
After locking Oliver up in a cave, he managed to take out some mercenaries and capture Fyers to force him to give them a way out of the island. While traveling to the plane they encountered Wintergreen and some mercenaries. Yao Fei enganged them into combat while he ordered Oliver to flee, he eventually got overpowered and captured.
Fyers then kidnapped Shado, Yao Fei's daughter, in an effort to force Yao Fei to continue working for him. Yao Fei captured Oliver and faked killing him, while handing him a map to travel to a crashed plane.
Oliver found a plane where he got confronted by Slade. The ASIS agent wanted to kill him at first, believing him to be a liability. He eventually realized Oliver had some raw potential for combat and survival.
Slade began to train Oliver for an assault on an air field to take over a cargo plane.
Slade and Oliver managed to clear an airfield and were about to capture a plane, but they missed their chance when Oliver came back for Yao Fei and was captured. Slade came back and saved Oliver, killing his former partner Billy Wintergreen in the process.
They then managed to free Shado. The three of them formed an alliance, as Shado trained Oliver in marksmanship.
The three of them ended up captured by Fyers and his mercenaries. And it turned out, Yao Fei had given them away after Fyers threatened to blow up the entire forest and kill them.
Yao Fei was forced to claim responsibility for the airstrike on a video. Fyers then shot and killed Yao Fei, leaving Oliver, Wilson, and Shado devastated.
They broke free from their bonds and began to fight and kill the mercenaries. Just in time, Oliver managed to change the direction of the missile aimed at the Chinese plane, and the missile landed on the camp, seemingly killing all the mercenaries.
Oliver found out Slade survived, but Fyers had Shado hostage. Fyers tried to negotiate, but Oliver used a bow and arrow to shoot him through his neck, killing him.
Season 2 Edit
With no means to escape, the three of them were forced to stay on the island. Recovered from their wounds Shado and Slade continued to teach Oliver in combat, archery and Mandarin Chinese. They then were confronted by a small group of intruders who captured Shado, and their leader threatened her with a knife. Slade and Oliver took them out quckly, and Oliver brutally killed their leader with a stone. It was revealed a huge ship had landed on Lian Yu and they were looking for some mysterious graves.
The ship known as the Amazo began to launch explosives off on the island while looking for the ruins of the plane in which Shado was inspecting the dead bodies found in one of the graves. This alerted Oliver and Slade who raced back to find Shado only to be caught in the explosions causing Slade's hands to burn and Oliver to black out. Oliver was then transported to the ship and is kept prisoner by Dr. Anthony Ivo and his interrogator Sara Lance who survived the Queen's Gambit sinking.
It was revealed Japanese soldiers had visited the island during WW2 and had hidden a submarine on the island containing a serum with the ability to turn humans into supersoldiers, drastically improving their strength, speed, stamina, durability and ability to heal, but also changing their personality. It turned out the crew of the Amazo was looking to collect this serum.
Shado and Slade managed to rescue Oliver and Sara. And they went on to find the serum to save the badly burned Slade. Using the serum on a dying Slade, Slade seemingly died. The group was then captured by Dr. Ivo and the crew, who led them away. An angered Ivo executed Shado in front of Oliver and Sara. Slade turned out to revived by the serum, and now possesed superhuman strength, speed and durability. He tracked down the crew members keeping Sara and Oliver captive, and killed them all in seconds.
The group then burried Shado. During the mourning Slade gave Oliver the hood Shado wore after she took it from her late father. Later Oliver began to spot Slade displaying unusual and violent behavior. Sara informed Oliver that the reports of the Japanese soldiers mentioned that the soldiers changed by the serum experienced severe behavior changes, Slade then sneaked off and intended to destroy the ship using a missile launcher from Edward Fyers, destroying the ship and killing the crew and the prisoners alike.
Oliver and Sara confronted him after which he threatened to kill them, and he wanted to destroy the ship to avenge Shado. Oliver managed to convince him that destroying the ship would take away their only way out. Slade realized the serum was changing his mind and managed to calm down. The group then began to converse how they could take over the ship.
The group noticed a plane crashing after it had been shot from the ship. The group found a heavilly injured pilot (Sin her father), Slade and Oliver went looking for first aid gear, while Sara tried to comfort him. The dying pilot begged Sara to take care of his daughter before he passed away - just before Oliver and Slade came up with the first aid kit.
The group devised a plan based on deception to get on the ship without being spotted. Oliver was seen practicing his archery and agility to prepare himself for the fight on the ship. During the night Oliver was haunted by a dream of Shado blaming him for his death. After he woke up he put on the hood she and Yao Fei had been wearing on the Island. Slade Wilson was seen taking his mask. The group packed an then created a fire (Oliver lighted it up wit a arrow similair to the pilot).
The crew came to investigate and found and captured Oliver. He was then taken to the ship. Here, Ivo used a truth serum to make him reveal were Slade and Sara were. Oliver told they were already in the ship and in the engine room. Panicked Ivo used the entire crew to search the ship underdeck. It was revealed Oliver had taken a drug making him immune to the truth serum. The upperdeck was now unguarded and Sara and Slade used a parachute to land on the deck. Here the group split up, Sara went to free the prisoners, Oliver went to find Ivo, Slade began killing the crew members below deck.
Oliver successfully reached Ivo and was about to shoot him. However Ivo began taunting Oliver that he made him choose to kill Shado, and that therefore Oliver was also to blame for her death. Oliver said he would kill him anyway. But it was then shown Slade had heard the conversation.
An enraged Slade then tried to kill him. Oliver managed to escape and reach upperdeck where he used archery to take out several of the armed crew members. Sara, Vitally and other prisoners managed to jump overboard and swim to the island. Slade managed to grab Oliver and locked him up in a cage. He then killed the captain and forced the crew to accept him as their new leader. He then chopped off Ivo's arm while making him mimic how he executed Shado. After this he made a promise to Oliver that before he would kill him he would destroy everything he cared about and take away everything he loves.
Slade eventually left Sara, Oliver and the other prisoners on the island as a punishment. He promised Oliver he would kill his family. The group managed to get the stranded submarine operational again they also found antidote for the mirakuru. Oliver went on board to confront Slade and ordere Vitaly to shoot a torpedo at the ship if it took too long. Slade captured Oliver and prepared to kill both him and Sara. Vitaly hit the ship after which it partially exploded and began to sink. A enraged Slade threw Sara into the hole where she got pulled under water. He then fought Oliver. A huge pile of metal hit Slade and pinned him on the floor. Oliver was furious as Sara had seemingly drowned. Slade was mocking him and Oliver stabbed an arrow through his eye and believed to have killed him. He then tried to escape the ship in which he passed out and got saved by A.R.G.U.S agents. A injured Slade managed to swim away from the island.
In 2013 after the quake in Starling City, Oliver Queen had come back to Lian Yu and was living there again in the forests. Diggle and Felicity came over and convinced him to return. The wreckage of a huge ship was spotted in front of the island.
After the confrontation with the vengefull Slade he managed to beat him and locked him away in a maximum security prison A.R.G.U.S had build on the island.
Season 3Edit
The former ASIS agent Digger Harkness was locked up in this prison after being caught by The Arrow.
Oliver returned to Lian Yu with Thea after it was suggested by Malcolm Merlyn that they should train together if they were to go up against the League of Assassins. Unknown to both Oliver and Thea, Malcolm had set free Slade Wilson as part of their training.[1] While Slade managed to escape he was once again subdued by the Queen siblings.
Season 4Edit
In 2011 after being cornered in a trap set by A.R.G.U.S. in a Coast City bar, Oliver was drafted once again for a mission that would send him back to Lian Yu to investigate a unknown occupation on the island.
Facilities Edit
An A.R.G.U.S. maximum security prison is located on Lian Yu. It is accessed by a hatch door. It currently holds Slade Wilson.

Posted November 9, 2012
Atlanta – November 9, 2012 – Independent, full-service advertising agency, Brunner, today announced it has been named agency of record for Abbeville, AL-based Great Southern Wood Preserving, best known for its distribution of the YellaWood® brand of pressure treated wood products. The agency won the account following a competitive review process that began earlier this year.
"Brunner demonstrated a strong understanding of our category, the diverse segments of our target audience, and our distribution channel," said James Riley, Great Southern Wood's chief marketing officer. "But just as important to us was the cultural compatibility we found with Brunner. We are growing at an incredibly rapid rate right now. We needed an agency that was going to approach our business as a true partner and make collaboration seamless."
In early 2012, Great Southern Wood expanded its distribution coverage from 18 southern and Midwestern states to 27 states and the District of Columbia. The company's footprint now spans from the Florida Keys to Texas all the way into the Great Lakes region and northeastern U.S.
Brunner will be responsible for all facets of Great Southern Wood's advertising, including brand strategy, research, creative, media planning and buying, digital and channel marketing.
"It's a very exciting time for Great Southern Wood, and we are very proud to have the opportunity to represent them," said Michael Brunner, CEO of Brunner. "They are just the type of client every agency wants to have on its roster—a client recognized as an innovator in their category with a history of strong growth."

Demi Lovato needs to give her heart a break from FOX's "The X Factor."
Both she and Simon Cowell confirmed the news Wednesday night, according to "The Hollywood Reporter."
"I always knew she wasn't coming back because she's touring, so I knew that," Cowell explained.
Lovato added that she's excited to beg back to simply being a musician instead of being a judge.
"I started the show being a singer and a musician, and so I'm going back to that," she said. "It's been really great, but I'm so excited for 2014. I'm going to dedicate it completely and entirely to music -- touring and making a new album. Possibly releasing one."
"People" first reported that the singer will leave the singing competition series after two seasons as a judge.
The ex-Disney star's last appearance will be on the two-night finale, which concludes on Thursday, December 19.
Lovato, 21, has already announced her Neon Lights Tour, which will kick off in February. She recently revealed plans to take January off to vacation after her "X Factor" duties, her book promotion and her recurring "Glee" role come to a close.
Though the show's future is in jeopardy after a ratings slump, Simon Cowell insisted this week that the show would be back in some form next year.
Would you be sad to see Demi go? Weigh in below!

With one of these at your disposal, you can send the entire face of modern warfare back to the stone age. Guns won't fire, engines won't start, and anything that requires fire, won't work. And if that isn't enough, you can freeze people with a little more added power.

There were several items Suwanee residents disagreed with during the last year's 20/20 vision discussions. What to do with Old Town, and how to handle public art were among the most divisive issues.
But almost hands down, the Gateway area remains an issue that residents agree is a priority, yet what steps to take next to improve it are widely varied.
The area, around exit 111 off of Interstate 85, was the first in the city to be commercially developed. And it later helped Suwanee gain notoriety when the Atlanta Falcons had their training camp and practice facility there in the late 1970s.
But today's reality is the area is an embarrassment for some residents because businesses have closed and crime has enveloped hotels. Not to mention the traffic backups that can clog Lawrenceville-Suwanee several times each day.
In the vision plan that was adopted at last month's City Council meeting, the Gateway section was labeled "Goal 1" under the section "Planning: How we grow."
"The last plan completed for the Gateway was done in a different economic setting," the document said. "The recession took the wind out of the sails of that plan, at least for the time being."
Mayor Jimmy Burnette said the council elected to wait for the 20/20 vision document to be finalized last month before it made significant plans. Now that it has, city officials can develop a master plan based on the 20/20 vision and the 2030 comprehensive plan.
Burnette called the residents' collective opinion about the area, "a super, hot priority."
Councilman Dick Goodman said the council recognizes that residents want to put resources in the Gateway.
Anecdotal proof that several businesses have avoided the area could be found in restaurants that recently opened elsewhere in Suwanee, like Tilted Kilt, Twisted Taco and Hammerhead Seafood.
Although recently, an Ultra Car Wash location is expected to open soon on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road in front of Office Depot, several years after the city granted it a special use permit.
The construction of a police substation near I-85 is nearing completion, and the city created a Tax Allocation District that could help fund improvements. Landscape improvements to I-85 are also on the horizon.
Still, the city can only do so much. In the end, it has to receive some contributions from business owners, and residents who patronize retail and restaurant locations. There needs to be a balance of private and public contributions.
"You've got to have a certain number of people to support what you're putting over there as far as improvements," Burnette said. "We don't have the ability to make it all happen. But hopefully, we can all work together."
The city has established this area as an obvious priority, but its success could depend on the private sector's contributions, and how outsiders view it.

First of all: I love your blog
Second: I also love words and am also working on communicating directly because I have developed a bad habit of stuffing instead of talking when I have something that I figure the recipient might be less than happy receiving.
Third: I think your forum is an interesting plan. I might even send you something... but I can't seem to access your e-mail. Every time I click a contact it says that my computer does not support that option. Am I missing your email address on your page?

I love this post... I am always, always telling my family that they need to communicate more, meanwhile I think they are thinking 'umm, you might "communicate" too much!'
I found your blog through Julie at Joy's Hope, I wrote to her asking her if she knew any bloggers in Virginia and she gave me your name...and I am so glad she did! I love your blog. I love the layout, the colors and your writing.
Anyway, in 26 short days I will be making the move (with my kids, my husband is already there) from California to Virginia and I was hoping to be able to chat with some Virignia folks. We will be living in Northern Virginia in Warrenton.
Oh by the way my name is Nina, I guess I should have probably lead with that!
Maybe you can share some Virginian information with me, I have never been there so when I get off the plane it will literally be my first time ever even being anywhere near there. Scary, crazy and exciting all at the same time.

What a great idea. Looking forward to reading this!

As much as I like this idea, are you planning on posting the stories to The Little Bit Funky site, or creating a new one? I think a sister site would be a better idea for a few reasons: the stories will most likely be a bit dark, and that doesn't quite fit your business, kids, etc. Having the option to follow a link would be an easier transition from cheery/crafty/business to a story about rape/addiction/abortion.
I do think offering an outlet and a listening ear is a fabulous idea though...I'll be watching for it!

(630 quotes found)
"Success tastes sweeter not by winning arguments with employed all duping tricks but even loosing it with righteous points appreciated by onlookers."
"To disagree does not equate to ill intent. It says either, "You have not provided me with sufficient information to accept your claim," "I see your point, yet I feel differently," or "I do not feel that your point is valid." Any of those can only be accepted as a part of open healthy dialog. Where we go from there makes the difference."
"The argument ensued on valid, good points with people living with heart is always tangibly fruitful; but if the same takes place with staunch believers of working with mind solely, then the outcome often meanders to be directionless and usually fails."
"Dear Optimist, Pessimist, and Realist: while you guys were busy arguing about the glass of water, I drank it! Sincerely, The Opportunist"
"Occasionally, I don't invent something and I don't lie, sometimes there're moments when I just don't know the truth."
""While it's meaningful to argue, continue. When your opponent looses rational apprehension, drop it. Don't expand useless dialogue.""

The delicious smell when you open this box of 'folies gourmandes' from Club Chocolat Francais is not just of chocolate and sugar, but there is a strong smell of fruit! This selection of chocolates includes glorious slices of crystalised orange dipped in dark chocolate, and chocolates flavoured with strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, passionfruit as well as caramel, coconut and almonds. I really enjoyed these chocolates, the chocolate is very good quality and the flavours are not the same sort of selection we have here in the UK.
Club Chocolat Francais is a gourmet chocolate tasting club. Members are invited to participate in the creation of new and exciting chocolates as well as to share tasting notes and experiences with other members. They are currently running an introductory offer on their 12 month subscription with the first month costing £9.95, the 11 months will be the usual price of £19.95.
I'm afraid I would not be willing to spend £20 on a box of chocolates and certainly not every month, no matter how good they are. But if you are passionate about your chocolate have a look at the Club Chocolat Francais or if your purse or your inclination does not stretch to a large box of chocs every month then you might also want to check out the chocolate boutique where smaller quantities of chocolates, including Agen Prunes dipped in chocolate, are on sale.
Club Chocolat Francais also have a Facebook Page and a range of Pinterest Boards
Disclosure Statement: I received this box of Club Chocolat Francais chocolates for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. The prices are correct at time of posting.

Fed up with the hotness contest results, Janet has decreed a nerd-off, asking for:
your geekiest jokes, your nerdiest life-lessons, your testimonial to your favorite programing language (or tissue culture medium), what have you.
We've already had a local thread of funny physics jokes, but for sheer nerd value, it's hard to top the classics:
Q: What's purple and commutes?
A: An abelian grape.
Q: What do you get when you cross an elephant with a mountain climber?
A: You can't. A mountain climber is a scalar.
It just doesn't get nerdier than those…

|hope college > academic departments > history
Department Overview
History is a discipline at the heart of the tradition of liberal learning, encompassing the social, political, economic, cultural, and intellectual traditions of humankind. Academic history develops skills in critical reading, listening, thinking, analysis, oral presentation, and in particular written expression. Simultaneously, the study of the past promotes attention to spiritual and ethical values and encourages respect for alternative traditions. Historians are society's storytellers—and its most vital critics. They work at finding the truth about the past. In so doing, historians pay close attention to the diversity of the human experience. What better major for members of an increasingly multi-cultural nation and global community?
The mission of Hope College's History Department is to cultivate a deeper understanding of the past through the critical evaluation of multiple sources and perspectives and to prepare students for leadership and service in a global society.
To achieve this mission, the History Department:
The History Major requires ten courses of work in History. Of these, seven are selected from courses in several specified areas while three are elective. The objectives of this major are threefold. First, it provides a general grounding in the discipline in terms of world areas, time periods, and themes. Second, it provides the opportunity for focused study in an area of particular interest or concern to the student. Finally, it requires mastery of historical methodology, demonstrated ability to do research, to think and read critically, and competence in writing sustained scholarly prose. In many ways, good writing is the most important value we add to a major's experience with us. Students who complete the major are prepared to enter graduate or professional programs. They are also equipped to enter other careers which value the intellectual habit of seeking to explain complex events and demand high-level skills and creativity in written communication.
The History Major for Secondary Teaching is slightly more prescriptive than the regular major. The department works closely with the Education Department to ensure our graduates exceed the requirements for the state's teacher certification examination.
The History Minor complements a major chosen from an ancillary discipline with six courses of fairly closely specified work. Minors (or double majors) have linked their work in history with an outside major as a means toward specific careers. These include majors in communication for careers in journalism, political science (for government service), religion for ministry or theological studies, English (for American studies or creative writing), management for careers in business, sociology (for criminal justice), theatre for dramaturgy or dance for dance history.
Majors and minors are sought after by members of the department who carry out collaborative faculty-student research projects and as teaching assistants in introductory courses. Majors and minors also have the possibility of internships locally as well as through off-campus study programs. As well, they are encouraged to undertake independent research and to present this at on and off-campus venues.
The content and subject matter of history is designed to create opportunities for students to mature intellectually. That is to say, names and dates represent means rather than ends. The ends—that lead to robust critical thinking skills—include analysis of primary and secondary sources to construct valid arguments, and the presentation of those arguments using written and oral communication. Such enterprises go to the heart of the educational mission of Hope College. Achievement in history as discipline and discourse is commonly measured in terms of coherent written presentation of cogent and sustained argument supported by appropriate use of evidence. The evaluation of what happens to a History major is to be found in intellectually successful lives. Hence, our goal for students is that they become independent thinkers by the time they graduate; that is, by asking whether they have matured intellectually to the point that they no longer need us.

Iranian Arms Ship Captured by Israel Shows Tehran's Real Aims
The Francop episode glaringly reveals Iran's strategy of surrounding Israel with deadly ordinance in hostile hands.
November 7, 2009 - 12:00 am
More than 300 tons of weaponry, including thousands of Katyusha and other rockets, thousands of mortar shells, and hundreds of thousands of Kalashnikov bullets. That was the haul from the ship Francop, which the Israeli navy intercepted off Cyprus early Wednesday morning and brought to the port of Ashdod in Israel.
About ten days ago, the arms cache took off from Bandar Abbas port in Iran on an IRISL (Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines) ship. At the Egyptian port of Damietta, it was transferred to the Francop, an Antiguan flagged German vessel. The containers of weapons were hidden behind piles of sacks filled with polyethylene. The Francop crew appears to have had no knowledge of the cache, and Israel has already released the ship and its crew and put the weaponry in storage.
It was the largest such capture in Israel's history, ten times larger than the cache on the Karine A, the ship Israel intercepted in 2002 that was bringing arms from Iran to Gaza (then part, with the West Bank, of a unified, Yasser Arafat-ruled Palestinian Authority). The Francop's destination was a different one: the port of Lattakia in Syria. From there, the cache was to be smuggled by land to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army says the weapons supply would have been enough to extend a future Israel-Hezbollah war by about a month.
So far the world — whether in news media or in official statements — hasn't reacted much. Undoubtedly, a good deal else has been going on such as the U.S. elections, the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, and the World Series. And closer to home, as far as Israel is concerned, there has been the UN General Assembly's endorsement of the Goldstone report, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's announcement that he won't run for re-election, the anti-regime demonstrations in Iran, and Iran's apparent testing of an advanced nuclear warhead.
But Israel badly wants the Francop to take its place beside the big stories. In a world where the Goldstone report keeps dragging Israel through the mud for defending itself against Iranian-backed terror in Gaza, this incident dramatically underlines what Israel is up against and what Iran and its allies are up to.
On Thursday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry brought foreign ambassadors in Israel to view the haul. The Foreign Ministry also highlighted that the arms shipment is a violation of two UN Security Council resolutions — 1747, which prohibits Iran from exporting weapons and ammunition, and 1701, which prohibits transferring further armaments to Hezbollah. The Foreign Ministry also told Israel's envoys abroad to highlight the issue to their host countries and urge that they cease all dealings with IRISL.

Knuckle Cases: repairing cracks
On the same note, I have a '37 Knuck with stress cracks on the left side, right below where the cylinder bolts on. Is this a common weakness? I was wondering if a competant welder/machinist could repair such cracks so the cases could be usable with a stock motor re-build--the motor may have to be bored, but that would be it as far as mods. These thin cracks were fixed for a long time with "JB Weld", but I want a more permanent fix, especially since they are the original cases.
Any help/suggestions would be great--thanks in advance.

Albertsons closing South 14th store
Abilene is losing a grocery store.
Albertsons LLC announced Friday it would close its store at 4701 S. 14th St. by Aug. 5, said Jennifer Vroman, an Albertsons spokesperson. Albertsons has been operating a store at that location since 1975.
''It's just been struggling for some time,'' Vroman said. ''Despite the best efforts ... we've been unable to make it profitable.''
The Albertsons store at 4450 Buffalo Gap Road ''has been a very successful store'' and will remain open, Vroman said.
Vroman said the Starbucks Coffee Company store inside the South 14th Street Albertsons also would close. She said she was unsure if the Starbucks would move to the store on Buffalo Gap Road.
Some of the estimated 100 employees at the South 14th Street store will be able to continue working until it closes. After that, some employees will have the opportunity to transfer to the Buffalo Gap location.
Vroman said it is too soon to tell how many South 14th Street employees may get to transfer to Buffalo Gap Road.
Others who decline to transfer or are unable to transfer to Buffalo Gap Road will be offered a severance package based on how long they have worked for Albertsons, Vroman said. Employees must have at least a year of service to be eligible for severance.
Friday's decision to close the store on South 14th Street comes about a year after Albertsons announced the closure of 23 of its grocery stores in Texas as part of a national move to shed unprofitable stores.
In June 2006, Albertsons LLC announced that 11 stores in the Dallas area, nine stores in the Austin area, one store each in Georgetown, Waco and Pampa would close. Those stores closed late last summer.
The Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons LLC currently operates 95 stores in Texas and about 330 nationwide.
The grocery stores closest to the South 14th Street Albertsons are United, 3301 S. 14th St.; H-E-B, 1345 Barrow St.; and the grocery at the Wal-Mart Supercenter, 4350 Southwest Drive.

Comment / On peace with Syria, Israeli leaders only talk the talk
Leaders fear electoral implications of Golan withdrawal due to its special status in public opinion.
The ritual "track dance" is in full swing: the Syrian track first - no, the Palestinian track first. A future scholar researching the history of the main contacts between Israel, Syria and the Palestinians starting in the 1990s will discover a marvelous cyclical pattern: Whenever the Palestinian track reached a dead end or a breakthrough beckoned, the Israelis began talking about the Syrian track, and vice versa.
What the two tracks have in common is that no breakthrough has really occurred in either. The reasons for this are many and varied, but there is no denying that Israel bears much of the responsibility. The Barak, Sharon and Netanyahu governments seem to have preferred making noises about peace to doing anything about it. The Olmert-Livni government seems to have been the only one that took steps toward reaching an agreement, behind the scenes via Turkey.
Making do with noises about peace has a number of advantages. Psychologically, it gives our leaders, and perhaps some of our citizens, the feeling that Israel really wants peace, while the other side just talks about it. Politically, it doesn't cost anything.
There's nothing new in that the Syrian arena is more amenable. The Syrians are not as internally divided as the Palestinians, there is apparently "someone to talk to" there, and the issues and possibilities for resolving them are familiar. Some of them have already been agreed on. So why has the Syrian track been pushed aside? The answer is to be found in the inability of Israeli prime ministers to make a clear decision about withdrawing from the Golan Heights.
They fear the electoral implications of such a move because of the Golan's special status in Israeli public opinion. Unlike Judea and Samaria, an ideological question is not at issue, and different pretexts are given for not negotiating with Syrian President Bashar Assad: His government bankrolls terror attacks, it's in a strategic alliance with Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas, all he wants is to dip his toes in the Kinneret, and so on.
Without belittling the importance of these matters, it should be stressed that if Anwar Sadat's positions had been scrutinized like this, there would have been no peace deal with Egypt. His first demands included not only Israeli withdrawal from all Egyptian territory it had conquered, but also a solution to the Palestinian problem. This linkage made the negotiations so difficult that Sadat walked out.
The Egyptian precedent teaches us several things about the Syrian track: First, Israel will not receive any advance concessions that could be used as bargaining chips in negotiations. Even if Syria is not prepared to formally cut its close ties with Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas, a serious diplomatic move would drive a wedge through this axis, with a significant affect on the regional balance of power. Second, tough initial bargaining positions do not necessarily reflect the final positions. Significantly, the Syrian position, unlike the initial Egyptian one, does not call for a solution to the Palestinian problem.
Israeli politicians mouth lofty slogans about the importance of peace with Syria, but they aren't prepared to face up to the price to be paid. Instead, they pose preconditions. Israel's situation in the Middle East is at rock bottom. Beyond the familiar regional threats, Turkey has moved away and the regimes in Egypt and Jordan have to defend themselves against public opposition to peace with Israel. We need from our decision makers a more active and effective policy, as well as cooperation with moderate elements. The Syrian arena, unlike the Palestinian one, offers an abundance of opportunities for bold and creative leadership, but that has not been forthcoming.

Video: Investigation Continues into Cause of Wilson House Explosion
WILSON, NY - There is still no cause into the Wilson house explosion that killed a 14-year-old girl and seriously injured four members of her family Tuesday morning.
Volunteers are currently sifting through the debris to help the Johnson family salvage any pictures, mementos and clothing that were not ruined in the explosion.
Rescue workers were called to 4972 Chestnut Road near Beebe Road just after 6 a.m.Tuesday.
Jody and Judith Johnson; their daughters Katie, 18, and Sarah, 14; and son Nathan, 16 were inside their Chestnut Road home when the explosion occured early Tuesday morning.
The home was completely leveled by the force of the explosion.
All the victims are being treated at Erie County Medical Center. Jody and Judith Johnson are both in serious condition. Jody was moved out of intensive care Wednesday. Nathan is also in serious condition. Katie remains in critical condition.
Two other children -- Hannah, 16, and Sam, 10 -- had spent the night with a family friend and so they were not at home when the explosion occurred.
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the explosion. Several agencies, including the A.T.F., are assisting the Niagara Sheriff's Department in their investigation.
A fund has been set up for the Johnson Family at the First Niagara Bank in Wilson.

Employee: David G. Saxton
Employer: Saxton Signcorp
Insurer: Eastern Casualty Insurance Co.
Board No.: 3390496
(Judges Carroll, Wilson and Levine)
James H. Tourtelotte, Esq., for the employee
Thomas M. Dillon, Esq., for the insurer
CARROLL, J. The insurer appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded the employee ongoing partial incapacity benefits, without calculating the employee's income from an out-of-state company as part of his earning capacity. The insurer contends that the judge erred in failing to account for this income. For the reasons that follow, we disagree. We affirm the decision.
The employee injured his foot when he stepped on a long screw while working on August 21, 1996, resulting in a partial amputation of the foot. The employee worked for his family's sign company at the time. The employee still works part-time, in a restricted capacity, for the company, which sells, manufactures, installs and services large signs. (Dec. 2.) At the time of his injury, the employee's average weekly wage was $1,040.00. Since his return to work, he has earned $390.00 per week for generally overseeing the business. (Dec. 3.)
In addition to his sign business in Massachusetts, the employee is half-owner of another sign company in New York, which uses the employee's family name, Saxton. The name is well regarded in the sign industry. The employee does not do any day-to-day work for the New York company. He occasionally consults with the other owner - the real operator of the business - with regard to major purchases and additions. The New York company paid the employee an income of $35,800.00 in 1995, $20,800.00 in 1996, and $42,800.00 in 1997, which amounts were reported on Internal Revenue Service W-2 forms for those years. (Dec. 3.) The employee also reported Schedule E subchapter S income from the New York company. (Insurer's Exhibits 2-4.)
The judge found that the employee's income from the New York company was in the nature of a return on his investment, rather than earnings, and should not be considered in establishing earning capacity. The judge found that, "[w]hat little work he did was in the nature of managing his investment, rather than a true measure of a work capacity in the open labor market. That work capacity was better demonstrated through his day to day work in the Massachusetts company . . . ." (Dec. 5.) As such, the judge concluded that the employee's $390.00 per week salary from the employer in Massachusetts was "a good faith estimate of the value of the work he now does for the company." (Dec. 6.) The judge therefore awarded the employee § 35 partial incapacity benefits, based on those actual earnings as the weekly earning capacity, and the $1,040.00 average weekly wage. (Dec. 7.) See § 35D(1). 1
The insurer contends that the judge erred by ignoring the amounts listed on the W-2 forms from the New York company in his assessment of the employee's earning capacity. The insurer argues that those amounts were reported to the Internal Revenue Service as "wages" and must therefore be counted as part of the employee's post-injury earning capacity as "actual wages" under § 35D(1). We do not agree.
The judge found that the New York company did not pay the employee wages for services rendered, and that the amounts paid as "wages" in the W-2 forms were essentially a return on the employee's investment of money and his family name. (Dec. 5; Tr. 22-29.) We cannot say, as a matter of law, that the judge was wrong in so finding, given the evidence of the minimal services provided by the employee to that company. The reported W-2 income simply did not reflect an actual earning capacity. (Dec. 4.) See Tehle v. Alpine Plumbing, 835 P.2d 1, 2 (Mont. 1992)(recognizing distinction between wages and income from profits, court declined to count post-injury income from employee's company toward earning capacity, where he performed only minor duties); Joy Technologies v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Bd., 624 A.2d 710, 712 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993) (court ruled that profits from family owned company, which "were not derived almost entirely as the direct result of Claimant's personal management and endeavor[,]" did not constitute "earnings" within the meaning of that commonwealth's Act; emphasis in original).
The fact that the income was characterized as "wages" for purposes of the Internal Revenue Service is not controlling. Harvey Auto Supply Inc. v. Indus. Comm'n., 25 Ariz. App. 274, 542 P.2d 1154, 1156 (1976)("Workmen's compensation laws are not controlled by the Internal Revenue Code's standards for reporting income"); Hobbs v. Indus. Comm'n., 23 Ariz. App. 422, 533 P.2d 1159, 1161 (1975) (recognizing "independence of workmen's compensation statutes from the provisions of other unrelated laws"; in that case, the Internal Revenue Code). See Federico's Case, 283 Mass. 430, 432-433 (1933)(characterization of income "by whatever name [the employee's] earnings may be described" was immaterial to earning capacity assessment where such amounts did not arise from his ability to earn); Seymour's Case, 6 Mass. App. Ct. 935 (1978)(ignoring use of word, "salary," the court advised that board on remand for earning capacity reexamination must look at evidence that "payments were not made by reason of any services performed by" the employee).
The insurer contends that Dawson v. Captain Parker Pub, 11 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 84 (1997), is controlling. That case is distinguishable. Dawson concerned a bartender's failure to report tip income to his employer and the I.R.S. We concluded that the employee's failure to report the tip income equitably barred its inclusion in his average weekly wages. Id. at 87. We harmonized our approach under c. 152 with the exclusion of unreported tips under the provisions of G.L. c. 151A for unemployment compensation. Id. at 86-87. We have declined to apply the Dawson construction beyond its particular application to unreported tip income. See Fitzgerald v. Special Care Nursing Service, 13 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 332, 335 (1999). We note that unlike the employee in Dawson, the employee in the present case does not have unclean hands. Finally - and most importantly - Dawson is inapposite to the present case because the employee's average weekly wages are not the issue here. The analysis necessary for the determination of pre-injury average weekly wage is simply not interchangeable with the calculation of post-injury earning capacity. Compare Letteney's Case, 429 Mass. 280 (1999)(closed system of workers' compensation does not allow for inclusion of income from self-employment or out-of-state employment in average weekly wage) with Federico's Case, supra at 432 (1933) (earning capacity "include[s] the whole monetary result of a reasonable use of all [the employee's ] powers, mental and physical, whether working for others or for himself, and whether his earnings are called 'wages' in common speech or not"). 2
The judge's conclusion that the employee's income listed on his W-2 forms was not in the nature of "actual earnings" under § 35D(1) was well within his particular authority as the finder of facts regarding earning capacity. See Mendes v. Percor, Inc., 12 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 487, 490 (1998); Trant's Case, 21 Mass. App. Ct. 983, 984 (1986). We defer to that authority, and therefore the decision is affirmed.
The insurer shall pay an attorney's fee of $1,243.38.
So ordered.
Martine Carroll
Administrative Law Judge
Frederick E. Levine
Administrative Law Judge
Sara Holmes Wilson
Administrative Law Judge
FILED: February 26, 2001
1 General Laws c. 152, § 35D (St. 1991, c. 398, § 65) provides, in pertinent part:
For the purposes of sections thirty-four, thirty-four A and thirty-five, the weekly wage the employee is capable of earning, if any, after the injury, shall be the greatest of the following:--
(1) the actual earnings of the employee during each week.
The insurer is correct as to the error in the judge's citation to Plante v. Garelick Farms, 3 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 48 (1989), for the proposition that the actual earnings of an employee may be disregarded in earning capacity analyses. Section 35D legislatively overruled that proposition, which had been stated in Sjoberg's Case, 394 Mass. 458 (1985). Nonetheless, the error is harmless in light of the judge's other findings of fact regarding the lack of practically any involvement on the part of the employee in the New York company.
2 The judge's citation to Letteney, supra, as pertinent to the earning capacity issue in the present case, is another instance of harmless error.
