Whether the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as 44th President of the United States will qualitatively alter U.S. Middle East policy and the regional situation remains to be seen. The fact is that Barack Obama has been much bolder with regard to U.S. relations with Latin America than he has been with regard to the Middle East during the 100 first days of his administration. This is despite the fact that, as a presidential candidate, Obama emphasized much more his difference with the Bush administration on Middle East issues, especially Iraq, than on South American issues.
Beyond the various electoral statements, the truth is that Obama ran as a candidate dedicated to bipartisan consensus in the realm of foreign policy, and singularly with regard to the Middle East. His critique of the Bush administration was restricted to the extent to which it did not fully comply with this consensus as expressed in the report of the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group. To put it more precisely, Obama supported the "surge," which conformed to the recommendations of the report, and announced that he would stick to the exit (from Iraq) strategy that it envisaged. On this, he had nothing very original to say when compared to what the Bush administration was already doing since it implemented the "surge." Hence, the very symbolic as well as significant fact that he asked Robert Gates to remain at the helm of the Pentagon — thus repeating the kind of bipartisan gesture with regard to "Defense" that Bill Clinton made when he appointed to the same position another Republican, William Cohen, for his second term.
Where Obama differed from Bush in public statements was mainly with regard to Iran: whereas the Bush administration never really agreed to comply with the recommendation of talking to Iran that was expressed in the Baker-Hamilton report, Obama made clearly the point that this was what he would do if elected, and he got attacked for precisely that reason by all the friends of the Israel Lobby. However, since his inauguration, Obama, and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have made no real substantive changes in that respect. One explanation for this is that they fear that engaging in talks with Iran at this stage might impact the forthcoming presidential election in that country in a way that would be contrary to what they deem to be U.S. interests. If this explanation is true, it implies that they will continue to "wait and see" until the election in June 2009, that is due to be held five weeks from the time of writing these lines.
After the Iranian presidential election, the Obama administration will probably move to a more serious opening in the direction of Iran, applying a carrot and stick policy — with a big carrot whereas the Bush administration only carried a big stick. They will hope for a deal with the Iranian leadership, a deal whereby Tehran would cooperate with them in stabilizing Iraq and the Middle East, each side acknowledging the interests of the other, in the same way that they are actually doing presently in Iraq, where both sides sponsor the same Maliki government in Baghdad. Such a conciliatory policy has been imposed on the U.S. government by the dire condition in which it found itself in the Middle East as a result of the disastrous policy of the Bush administration. Basically, the Obama administration faced with the Iraqi semi-debacle, at a time when its room for maneuver has been narrowed by the global economic crisis, is contemplating a reaction similar to that of the Nixon administration when it faced the Vietnam debacle. The exit strategy then was: "Vietnamize" the war, get all the troops out of Vietnam, cut a deal with Moscow and Beijing. The strategy now is: "Iraqize" the war (done through the "surge" and its reliance on the buying off of major chunks of what used to be the Sunni "insurgency" in the form of the "Awakening Councils"), get most of the troops out of Iraq (planned until 2011), cut a deal with Tehran. Both policies take place against a backdrop of severe global economic crisis.
In a sense, the new policy, if fully implemented, will require much less boldness than the one implemented by the Nixon-Kissinger team: withdrawing from Vietnam against the background of the ongoing Cold War was much more spectacular than withdrawing from Iraq in the absence of any "peer" global challenger of the United States; talking to "Red China" was much more spectacular than any conciliatory gesture toward Iran could be, all the more that it cannot be expected that Obama-Clinton will go to the same extent of sudden warming up with yesterday's enemy as Nixon-Kissinger did in their relation with China. One important difference is that the Nixon team could play on the "triangulation" of its relations with Moscow and Beijing in light of the enmity between the two "communist" capitals. There is no situation of this kind with regard to Iran.
But the key difference is, to be sure, the role of Israel. For the Zionist state, Iran is the main enemy in the whole region, and the nuclear issue is a "red line" that would prompt the Israeli state to act militarily if it deemed that the line was crossed. We know from the revelation by The New York Times last January (David Sanger, "U.S. Rejected Aid for Israeli Raid on Iranian Nuclear Site," NYT, January 10, 2009) that the Olmert government already asked the Bush administration for a green light to attack Iranian nuclear facilities with air strikes flying through Iraqi air space. The Olmert government wanted to take advantage of the remaining time in office of this American administration that was most cooperative with the worst plans and deeds of the Israeli state. The green light was not granted, however, for a variety of reasons related to the highly risky and uncertain character of the operation and its potential consequences in a time of unfolding global economic crisis.
The Obama administration will indeed be clearly less amenable to Israel's hardliners than the Bush team was. And tensions between the two countries are all the likelier to unfold given that their political evolutions are presently going in opposite directions: whereas the last U.S. presidential election started a pendulum backswing after eight years of the most reactionary administration in U.S. history, the recent Israeli parliamentary election only carried on further the swing to the right that started with the election of Ariel Sharon in February 2001 in the wake of Bush's presidential inauguration.
These are the main elements of the present picture in the Middle East: to get into other developments — the efforts of Washington's Arab friends to foster reconciliation between Hamas and Abbas's "Palestinian Authority," the forthcoming parliamentary election in Lebanon, etc. — would take longer than the space of this article. However, the whole policy of the Obama administration is a pragmatic and cautious move within the guidelines described above.

By ROGER SCHNEIDER
A compromise has been reached that will allow hospital employees to park along High Park Avenue.
At Monday's Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, Mayor Allan Kauffman proposed the compromise to create up to 22 temporary parking spaces from the hospital's main entrance on High Park, east to Woodward Place. Last week the administration of IU Goshen Health had asked for the parking spaces on a permanent basis to accommodate the growing use of the hospital's outpatient service. After opposition from the neighborhood organization, the board voted against the parking.
The new proposal was approved by the board Monday. The agreement will allow parking on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until June 30.
"It would give us a little time to implement our next action plan," said Mark Podgorski, vice president of hospital operations.
That action plan will likely include a pedestrian/bicycle trail that will extend from the hospital, through Goshen College to the parking lots behind health care offices on the east side of South Main Street and just south of the hospital. The intent, according to Podgorski, is to create a pathway that allows hospital employees to safely walk from the remote parking lots to the hospital.
Joe Dervin, who lives on Woodward Place and is president of the neighborhood association, said his group is in favor of the temporary parking plan.
"It is an acceptable agreement now, because we know it will be temporary," Dervin said.
At the Jan. 15 meeting, the neighborhood group opposed the parking because that proposal called for permanent parking spaces.
Kauffman, who lives in the neighborhood and often walks more than a mile to City Hall to work, urged more hospital employees to walk to work to help alleviate the parking crunch.
"I would think you could get a lot of your colleagues to walk to work," Kauffman told Podgorski.
In other action, the board:
• Allowed Mattern's deli to close off three parking spaces on the south side of West Washington Street Friday for First Friday events.
• Approved an electric license for Jerry Burt Jr. of Burt Electric, Goshen.
• Asked Michael Crume for more documentation of a water leak at 615 Mercer Ave. before granting relief from a sewer bill.
• Held public hearings for alleged building code violations. An order against Ronald Davidhizar for problems at a house at 513 N. Fifth St. was lifted because it was determined he had made adequate progress on fixing the violations. A similar order against Jared and Kaylene Yoder, owners of a house at 414 E. Lincoln Ave., was upheld and the board voted to move the issue to the court system for enforcement.

Brett Lawrie was given a four-game suspension by MLB for his helmet-throwing tantrum during Tuesday night's Blue Jays game against the Rays.
As is common for these types of things, there was an appeal planned. However, that's changed:
Brett Lawrie drops the appeal of his 4-game suspension. Will miss tonight's game and the Mets series as he serves his time. #Jays
— Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) May 17, 2012
There's been quite a bit of talk about this suspension; given the fact that a helmet actually hit an umpire, it was thought the suspension would be longer. The fact that it was only four games might indicate that MLB thought that umpire Bill Miller's strike calls on the pitches in question weren't really right, either.
Lawrie dropping the appeal indicates that he thinks it's a fair penalty — even if he didn't intend for the helmet to hit Miller, the fact is that it did — and that he'd like to put this behind him. As noted in the tweet, Lawrie will miss Thursday's Jays game against the Yankees and their three-game series against the Mets this weekend.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Found all over the world, agate has been creatively striped by nature. It is a type of chalcedony quartz that forms in concentric layers of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in a host rock. As a result, agate often is found as a round nodule with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. Tiny quartz crystals called druzy (sometimes spelled as drusy) often form within the stone, adding to its beauty and uniqueness. Agate is a hard stone, within the range of 7.0-9.0 on the Mohs Scale.
In 1497, the mining of agate in the Nahe River valley in Germany gave rise to the cutting center of Idar-Oberstein. When the Nahe agate deposit was exhausted in the nineteenth century, Idar cutters started to develop the agate deposits of Brazil, discovering Brazil's rich deposits of many other gemstones. A famous collection of two to four thousand agate bowls, accumulated by Mithradates, King of Pontus, shows the popularity of agate at the time. Agate bowls were also popular in the Byzantine Empire. Collecting agate bowls became common among European royalty during the Renaissance and many museums in Europe, including the Louvre, have spectacular examples.
Although the small town of Idar-Oberstein is still known for the finest agate carving in the world, today Idar imports a huge range of other gem materials from around the world for cutting and carving in Germany. Cameo master carvers, modern lapidary artists and rough dealers flourish there, exporting their latest gem creations. It is an entire industry that grew from the desire for agate products during the Renaissance.
Agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet in ancient times. It was said to quench thirst and protect from fevers. Persian magicians used agate to divert storms. Today, some believe that agate is a powerful emotional healer and helps people discern the truth.

I am a sucker for color. I love to incorporate it into my home as much as possible but adding too much color or pairing it in the wrong way can make the room seem adolescent.
I found these beautifully designed living rooms that have the perfect balance of vibrant color paired with a few neutral pieces to pull it all together. The colors coordinate well without being boring. I love it!
In this girl's room (below), a bold neon pink pops against the gray walls. A perfect use of color for a kids room, bright and bold without being overly childish or tacky.
One of my favorite parts of this space (above) is the choice of art. It's fun and colorful but not over the top. The colors from each piece just work so well together, don't they?

The best office spaces are those that are creative and can tell a story. My desk was built by my husband. He built 2 sawhorses and then took an old counter from a boutique closing in the area, and attached it to the top. It's the BEST.
Another key ingredient to a great office space is of course good lighting. Pendant lights are stylish, while attractive task lamps are necessary. And both is even better, like the modern office space above.
This vintage office space (above) has a lot of character. It's not big in size and fits perfectly in that room. If you're looking for a desk that just needs to house your laptop, this is a great size for you. I also love the art gallery above the desk. It creates a fabulous corner to work in.
This rustic office space (above) must have a fantastic story! The wood looks reclaimed or possibly older than me. It creates a very organic look. And I love that this whole work space does not feel stuffy nor too serious. They did a great job mixing materials and textures to give the space a lived in but very stylish look. Modern black table lamps are great for adding contrast to a neutral space.
Graphic designer Cassie Pyle needed a stylish space to work in, and I think she created just that. The walnut desk is a good size for a small space and it also offers plenty of storage. I like how she paired the filing cabinet next to the desk for even more storage. The muted tones throughout this space work well together! And even if you use a stylish pendant light, don't rule out a modern wall sconce. As you can see, they compliment each other perfectly.
Remember, when designing your office space, the sky is the limit. Think outside of the box and you'll create a masterpiece.

Charles & Ray Eames are modern design legends.
In 1956 NBC television network debuted Charles and Ray Eames' chairs on the Arlene Francis "Home" show broadcast.

This album is so great. All the songs have a great beat to it, and they are so catchy. It's definetly one of those albums you can't get sick of, and you just can't get it out of your CD player. A must buy!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I didn't like this cd better than Default's first cd The Fallout. A majority of the songs seem to be either about cheating or groupies on Elocation (not something I can relate to). On the Fallout the songs seemed to be about wanting to get away from people that just keep bringing them down (something I can relate to).For people who like good guitar playing (and a few solos)and cool singing Default has improved. I think I'll just have to get over not being able to relate to the lyrics (I'm sure they don't really care if an eighteen year old girl can relate to their lyrics or not anyway). My favorite on this cd is Break Down Doors because of the energy the whole band gives to it. I'm sure not everyone will agree with me since I tend to like odd songs.My favorite on The Fallout was Faded…Since I know reviews really aren't worth all that much (either you like the cd or not, it's all personal preference)I'll just put in a comment on the content of the cd. The only swear words on this cd are bull(blank)and hell. Suggestive lyrics are minimal, the worst one is in All She Wrote with the lyric "Lying here in your bed/The one that you liked to do it in." That made me cringe but I've heard worse.
Default has not let you down with their second album, Elocation. It is even better than their first, The Fallout, which received tremendous success with the song "Wasting My Time". You can tell the band has grown and expanded their talent. They have found the perfect balance between hard, edgy rock and harmounious melodies. The Jeff Buckley cover "Cruel" is amazing. Throw it All Away and All She Wrote are some other great tracks. I recommend to anyone who likes great rock music to pick this one up.
I listned to the cd, and there are honestly no words to describe how great it is. It totally exceded my expectations and every song is awesome. Here is a song by song comparison:1. Who Followed Who – A nice fast way to start of the cd with a fast song, it shows of Dallas's voice really well, and the solo also helps2. (Taking My) Life Away – Not much else can be said about this song, its awesome, good choice as a first single3. Movin' On – The only song I haven't listened to much. Might take a couple more listens, but still a very good song4. Throw it All Away – I have loved this song from day one and it didn't dissapoint. This song gives me chills listening to it. The guitars are super heavy and Dallas' voice is superb5. Cruel – Another favorite of the album, definatly showcases Dallas' voice. An awesome song to crank up the volume on.6. Made to Lie – A nice rest after all of the heavier songs. A really great flowing song with great energy7. Crossing the Line – Probably my second favorite song on the album, Jeremy's guitar playing is great, definatly some of his best work.8. Without You – Not one of my favs, but once again an awesome song, really good lyrics, and another nice solo from Jeremy9. Break Down Doors – I've heard this song so many times live, and yet it still blew me away when I listened to it. A really fast intense song, also love the new solo Jeremy added.10. Enough- Another great song, can't remember it to much right now, but I like Danny's drumming11. All She Wrote – An absolutly beautiful song, love the flow and the lyrics, a great slow song12. Alone- Another song ive heard live and they changed it up with the piano to give it a really cool vibe.Contrary to what many people are saying, this album is very different from The Fallout, and I personally think that it is much better
song by song:1 – who followed who – awesome way to open the album. catchy tune and nice guitar parts. 10/102 – (taking my ) life away – not the best song for the first single but it still gets me singing along with it. slow but shows great vocal skill from Dallas. 7/103 – movin' on – great lyrics but not exactly one of the songs that got my hooked on. it'll take more spins to do that. 8/104 – throw it all away – whoa chad kroeger's done it again. this song is my second favorite on the album and the chorus rox. 10/105 – cruel – haven't heard the original song by jeff buckley but i think that default covered it pretty damn well. best song for vocals. 10/106 – made to lie – probably the weakest song on the album. it's a slowish song and a break from the rest of the cd. 7/107 – crossing the line – stellar rebound from 'made to lie' a rockin song that gets you singing at the top of your lungs. 10/108 – without you – an ok song. not much to say about it. slow. lovely dovey lyrics. 8/109 – break down doors – a song that they played a lot on their tour before elocation came out. great guitar parts and a rockin song. 10/1010 – enough – great vocals both lead and backing. not much to say. 9/1011 – all she wrote – my absolute favorite song. when i first heard it i just knew. it's slow and depressing. so my sort of song starts out with a great acoustic guitar part and it really shows Dallas' singing skills. 11/10 12 – alone – heard this a little more than a year ago when they played Pacific Coliseum with Nickelback (oct 25, 2003) great closer (kinda) 10/1013 – let you down (acoustic) bonus – one of my favorite songs off of the fallout and awesome bonus track to add to a kick ass cd. 10/10NOW GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GET 'ELOCATION'!!!!!!

Reviews for Cranberry-Orange Pork Chops
Sort By :
I make this recipe every fall. The only thing that I do different is add an extra can of mandarin oranges just before serving. I find that for me the first can tends to break down into a sauce which we really like! But its a great recipe.
These pork chops were delicious! I didn't have chicken broth so used water, and I found that it was just fine -- the juices from the pork made it flavorful. I do think it would be a bit more so with chicken broth so will be sure to use that next time and see for sure. I served this with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables and will definitely make it again. It's always nice to have a new recipe for boneless pork chops.
Love the cranberry-orange combo! They were nice and juicy. I'll deffinately make them again (and take the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!)
Because my family does not eat pork, I will substitute chops with boneless, skinless chicken breasts! Perhaps a bit of fresh squeezed lemon juice to finish before serving will make it a wonderful, light, bright flavored week night
meal! I most always find that swapping the appropriate cut of chicken in most all quick preparation pork recipes yields terrific results!
this is a great pork chop recipe i will add it to my recipe box to keep making

Diner Reviews
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency
over the weekend and really wanted to try out the restaurant after hearing good reviews. We were very happy with the service as well as the food. I ordered the salmon and my boyfriend got the rib eye and we found everything to be delicious. I am obsessed with their mushrooms and truffle fries. Our food took 30 minutes or maybe a bit less to arrive. Our waiter, Tony Jones was wonderful, he gave us reccomendations on the food and checked on us often to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We loved the hotel and would definitely stay there again, as well as eat at their restaurant."
Dined on 8/23/2014
The food was amazing. Hence, the
love. But, the restaurant is located in the lobby of the Hyatt. So, it was noisy and busy. And yes, there are elevators."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Last minute, disappointing, Loud
as it's in the lobby of the Hyatt, a fact not mentioned in the description, slow service, food was great."
Dined on 7/25/2014
After reading all those negative
reviews we were not sure what to expect. We were presently surprised with how good the food is and the service was excellent. The menu has some very interesting items not just the run-of-the-mill offerings. At the same time they weren't too off-the-wall. We like the fact that seasonal and local produce were used. Helps to know we can, indirectly, help local farmers and food producers."
Dined on 7/11/2014
The food was delicious and the
service was impeccable."
Dined on 7/6/2014
Article one is located inside the
Hyatt hotel. They close for lunch at 3:00 pm but show availability for seating on open table. If you arrive after 3:00 you're seating in the lounge area and given a limited bar menu with hotel-overpriced options. Pass in this."
Dined on 7/4/2014
I had a great time. Service was
professional and prompt. Breakfast was served in a buffet style. "

We went there for Easter brunch
but were very disappointed with the location of the restaurant in the hotel. It was like dining in the hotel lobby. Food quality and quantity were not all that great. some foods, especially dessert was not replenished when it ran out."
Dined on 4/20/2014
Our large party of 8 adults and
two very young children were given a banquet table in an alcove area in the restaurant to ourselves. We were very well attended and could not have asked for a more pleasant Easter meal situation outside our home."
Dined on 4/20/2014
My family and I found this easter
brunch on open table and we're happy with our experience. It is located in a hotel lobby area in a large multi-story grand concourse sort of atmosphere. The food was good and had many diverse choices. The staff was excellent attentive and kid friendly. There were some smaller intimate areas available as well. Parking was on the street and bit hard to find. Very close to the Capitol with a great view of it on the approach to the hotel. "
Dined on 4/20/2014
I was staying at the hotel, so was
inclined to go to this restaurant. I was very pleased to find (and eat!) vegetarian options on the menu. The food was good and service was very good."
Dined on 4/6/2014
Oor party consisted of three
adults, one local and two fromout of town, and one child. The menu had choices we all enjoyed and they were all good. The waitress was very helpful and friendly and approriately attentive."
Dined on 3/17/2014
My Wife and I dined in here. We
did not know it was located in a hotel. Pictures we saw were taken from a different vantage point so it appeared to be nice. It was extereemly loud there as there is a open bar across from the dining area. Patrons were entering and exiting the hotel close to the resturant and the escelators were right accross of the resturant. We waited about 35 minutes for our dish to be ready. was not worth the $65. we parked on the side of the street and the area was not lit well at night. The food was tasteful and the wine sauce on the steak (that I requested on the side) was distasteful at first but it eventually grew on me. and i'd perfer to have the cheese o the baked potato to be alittle melted atleast."
Dined on 2/24/2014
Increase wait staff on nights of
large crowds; also ensure employees pay attention to their customers."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The ambience, staff, food and
drinks provided a great date night experience! We will definitely be back."
Dined on 2/13/2014
This casual restaurant in the
lobby of the Hyatt on Capitol Hill surprised us with five-star food (especially the rack of lamb and side orders of foraged mushrooms and sauteed sweet potatoes). Many draft and bottled beers, cocktails and wines by the glass or bottle are available (ask for the bar menu that describes the specialty cocktails). Excellent service. Not "cheap eats," but worth the price given the quality of the restaurant."
Dined on 2/1/2014
The menu was rather standard. But
the food was quite well prepared. Everything was tasty. I really liked that they had a whole menu of smaller portions with healthy options."
Dined on 1/31/2014
We found a voucher through Travel
Zoo for 2 drinks, one app, and 2 Entrees for $59. Only way to go! The service was awesome. They let my girlfriend sample wines until she found one she liked. The food was excellent. I had the Ribeye steak which was really good. I highly recommend it. My girlfriend had the Filet Mignon which was also very good. Our drinks were always full, and our waitress was very informative. If you get a chance definitely check this place out, but get the voucher if you can."
Dined on 12/30/2013
We had their Christmas buffet this
week and it was terrible. There were hardly any vegetables, the salad bar consisted of three items, no turkey, and only had three types of desserts. Very disappointing, and will not eat there again. Not worth the money."
Dined on 12/25/2013
This restaurant is basically in
the middle of the lobby with minimal separation, so it's not a great environment. The food and service were fantastic though."
Dined on 12/21/2013
We had seven people, including a
13 year old and 11 year old, and had one of there private alcoves which was great. The service was quick and efficient when we told them we were running a little late for a concert. Food was excellent, with plenty of choices of great sides sides which made the kids' meals a breeze. Entrees run to steaks and chops. One of us had an excellent filet with bernaise sauce. Two had rib eye steaks. One was great, the other was not. Both were cooked well, but one of the cuts was just substandard with gristle instead of marbeling. I have no doubt they would have replaced it, had we chosen to object, but since we were rushed for time we didn't bother."
Dined on 12/19/2013
What we liked: the drinks were
good (but slow), wait staff was friendly and courteous. Bread was quite good. Our waiter explained that the main kitchen was shut down, and they were cooking from another kitchen. Three of us. Appetizers: Senate bean and ham soup (ok); caesar salad (requested without anchovies; but came with them anyway - does anyone ever really want anchovies anymore?). Risotto (dry and tasteless rather than creamy and rich). Main course: two filets (ordered medium rare, arrived quite rare; the quality of the meat was good). Sides: Brussels sprouts; overcooked and mushy, zucchini - blah) truffle fries - substandard - I like crisp. This was for anniversary; should have gone to Charlie Palmer's next door."

If you have a group of 6-10 there
are one nice semi-private nooks. Good for a business meeting or to get ready or your dy on the Hill, which is walking distance"

We've been there before for
Thanksgiving buffet. The staff was very friendly and helpful; especially patient with children. the food was plentiful, interesting new combinations. I wouldn't say that a foodie would feel satisfied but it was tasty, nicely presented, nice ambience."

In town got a conference, we had
lunch at. Article One. The crab soup was disappointing - a thick cream with a few rices of crab. However, the fish sandwich was excellent. Very good service. I would definitely recommend."

This "restaurant" is basically in
the lower level of the lobby of the Hyatt, with no sound insulation at all. All I can really remember about my dinner was the non-stop thud,thud,thud beat of the dreadful dance music that was being played in the upper hotel lobby. It was like sitting just listening to a drum machine for an hour with no variation in beat. It ruined my meal. The Caesar salad starter was good and the Bistro steak was overdone and a little dry. I couldn't stand the place any longer to try a dessert. If you can withstand the auditory torture, or are deaf, you might enjoy your meal here."

We were on a tight time frame to
meet a friend from out-of-town who needed to stay in the area. The reviews were decent, so we picked Article One. Was very disappointed to see how open the restaurant was in the Hyatt lower lobby - had expected something a bit more enclosed and warmer (as I've seen at other large hotels). Wait staff were very attentive. Food was okay overall, they didn't have ribeye or a variety of white wines (except the most expensive) as listed on the menu. The swordfish was delicious, but the quinoa & green beans were very salty. Side dishes are quite large. Our guest really loved the polenta with goat cheese side she selected with her steak. The restaurant worked for our needs, but I wouldn't go back."

I only had a cheeseburger and
french fries for lunch but I must say that both were perfect. I asked the waiter as I do at all restaurants when I have french fries to have them golden brown and crispy and 90 percent of the time my request is not honored. When I received my burger and fries they were cooked to perfection. The presentation of the food was great. All of the condiments were in the individual bowls and I had never though to put horseradish on a burger but it was great. I plan to return next week and try a different dish to see if all the food is cooked the taste of the customer."

Had a terrific dinner with my son.
I had the swordfish wish was very fresh and not over-cooked. My son had the ribeye which was perfectly seasoned and of steakhouse quality. Portions were very large. Highly recommend, especially for people staying in the Capital Hill area."

Food was great, especially the
salmon on the childrens menu. Service was very kind and thoughtful towards my granddaughter. Great location when touring the capital building."

The restaurant is in the Hyatt
hotel the food was great but or server was the best very notable an energetic was patient with us even tho it was way after closing time"

We realized that this restaurant
was in the Hyatt as we approached the address but were to tired and hungry change plans. Good thing we didn't! Excellent food - had the halibut special - and great service. Deputed the setting, it turns out this is a great place to get good food at good prices in DC which is a food wasteland in the this area. Decided we may try hotel restaurants in the future."
Dined on 7/22/2013
Ok, now I realize from the reviews
that people were saying this was a "hotel restaurant" but I didn't get it until we walked into the Hyatt. Thankfully we chose to stick i out. Our dinner was outstanding, along with great service. Interesting "healthy" options too. I'd recommend this restaurant to others and we will surely go back again when we visit DC again."

This place was ok for last minute
brunch but could use some better buffet offerings for the cost."
Dined on 6/16/2013
I picked this restaurant
specifically because of its menu, which offered good options for healthy eating. My expectations were exceeded. The food was wonderful, and the service was very attentive. My only quibble: the restaurant's location. It's smack in the middle of the hotel's lobby, so if there happens to be a convention crowd in the lobby (as there was that night), the aural ambiance is a bit diminished. Still, the volume was low enough for good conversation."

Article One was over all a
disappoint for a last minute brunch option in the Capitol Hill area. It should be noted that the restaurant is within in the Hyatt hotel; there is no outside entrance or even signage indicating its location. As far as atmosphere, this restaurant is basically a bunch of tables within the hotel lobby. While the breakfast options looked great online, they were no longer serving brunch/breakfast food when we arrived around 12:00pm. Despite having a hard time understanding our waiter, the service was decent. Luckily the Club Sandwich was decent otherwise this experience would have been a complete bust."

We had breakfast here with the
kids before a day of sightseeing. Buffet had great variety and nice omelet station. Kids ordered off menu and loved the Belgium waffle."
Dined on 5/3/2013
The Google Map location for this
restaurant is not correct. Had I realized it was in the Hyatt hotel, I never would have made the reservation. I dine out one or two nights a week, and have tried a great many restaurants in DC. This one is way below par."

KENNEWICK, WA – It is the season of giving and some local businesses are giving back to the community this time of year.
Warner Auto is hosting a toy and food drive. This Saturday they are
going to be out at their location on Columbia Drive in Kennewick just
across from Hubby's Pizza, filling trucks with toys for tots and food
for Second Harvest. Bad Andy's Coffee will be there serving up some samples and live musical performers are set to play as well.
"Warner Auto Sales and Warner Auto Center have been supported by the community for the last 18 years and they wanted to step it up a little bit and give back to the community. What better way to do that than to participate with Toys For Tots and 2nd Harvest?" said Heather Haize who works in sales and is also an event coordinator.
Anyone can stop by. People will be out there starting at 7 am. They hope to fill at least a few trucks with food and toys, but they will gladly take as much as they can get.
