I wouldn't go back to Hotel Panda only because the location is near such a busy and crowded area, but for a first-timer to Rome it's great because it's centrally located and you can walk everywhere without missing any sights or views. The price probably can't be beat. We had a private bath (I insist) and it worked out well. The wifi worked well, which was a plus.

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
Making effective communication, a human right, accessible and achievable for all.
Featured Partner
Become a Partner
Grant Review and Reviewer Training has two aims: 1) to provide specific instruction on how to effectively review research grants, with a special emphasis on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) review process; and 2) to conduct reviews of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) research grant applications. Training covers key components of the review process, how to address review challenges, and how to prepare written summaries of review panel discussions.
The workshop is co-sponsored by ASHA and ASHFoundation. It is planned and coordinated by the Research and Scientific Affairs Committee and ASHA's Academic Affairs and Research Education Unit.
Researchers who have secured at least R03-level (or equivalent) federal research funding as the principal investigator (PI) or co-PI may be invited to serve as reviewers. A number of scientists with long-standing records of research funding and review experience are specifically included to enrich the training environment with their expertise.
View previous participants.
Grant Review and Reviewer Training consists initially of lectures and model review sessions that illustrate the NIH grant review scoring system and process, and the role of the reviewer. All reviewers then participate in the review panels of ASHFoundation research grant applications. Reviewers who have served as standing members of federal review panels demonstrate and explain best practices for review throughout the program. Review processes at other funding agencies are contrasted with the NIH process.
Attendance is by invitation only, and is limited to approximately 30 reviewers.
The workshop is scheduled for August 6–8, 2013, at the ASHA National Office in Rockville, Maryland.
There is no registration fee. Funds are provided for participant travel, hotel and meals (up to an allowance).
For more information on the Grant Review and Reviewer Training, please contact ASHA's Academic Affairs and Research Education unit at email@example.com.

ERLE LORAN (1905-1999)...Born: Minneapolis, MN

Erle Loran attended the University of Minnesota in the early 1920s and then continued his education with Cameron Booth. Loran was awarded the Chaloner Foundation Prize in 1926 and spent the following four years in France studying art, painting and writing. When he returned to America, he settled in Norther California and became a professor of art at the University of California, Berkeley. It was during this period that Erle began to exhibit his watercolor paintings and helped to develop what became known as the "Berkeley School" style of watercolor painting.
In addition to his fine art painting and teaching, Erle Loran wrote "Cezannes's Composition", in print for over forty years and still considered the most thorough study of the formal aspects of that artist's work. He has also written articles for numerous national art magazines.

LOYOLA LAW DEBATING SOCIETY IS REORGANIZED Officers Are Elected; Debate Program Discussed. At a very interesting and enthusiastic meeting, held in the Junior class room, on Thursday, November 13th, the Loyola Law Debating Society reorganized, elected officers, and immediately began its work by scheduling a debate for the following Thursday. A get-together meeting had been called by former Secretary Hartel on Tuesday, November 4th, and all members attending this meeting on the 13th, were pepped up and ready for action. The former secretary, acting as chairman, first called for an adoption of the constitution of the old society, and then nomination of officers were in order. In the election of president, Mr. Hagan and Mr. Dalferes tied, but on the calling of a second vote, Mr. Hagan was placed in the chair. Mr. Hartel was unanimously elected Vice-President and Mr. Hylan, secretary and treasurer. A committee consisting of Mr. Dalferes, chairman, and Messrs. Lemoine and Voss, was appointed by the president' to determine a schedule of debates.BEGGAR PLEDGES TENDERED BANQUET AT PROMINENT DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT Messrs. Gaudin, Kernaghan, and Laporte Prominent in School Activities. Three men were pledged by the Beggars Fraternity at a banquet held at La Louisiane on the night of Wednesday, November the sth. Messrs. Hillary Gaudin, William Kernaghan, and Milton I.aporte, were the men pledged. The first two named are students in the Arts and Science Department of the University. Mr. Laporte is a member of the Night School. The three are freshmen at the university, but already they have affiliated themselves with one or the other of college activities. Mr. Gaudin was recently elected President of the Freshman Class of his department. He is also one of Coach Daly's ambitious "Scrubs." He graduated from Jesuits High School last year, one of the most popular and representative members of the graduating class. Both Mr. Laporte and Mr. Kernaghan are members of Loyola's band. The former is one of the leading baritone players in the organization, while the other has charge of thumping af bass drum. Mr. Laporte come sfrom St. Stanislaus College; Mr. Kernaghan hails from a high school of Fort Worth, Texas. The pledge banquet was held at the La Louisiane. Mr. Price Crane, Secretary of the fraternity, acted as toastmaster. Mr. Harold Dempsey, President, welcomed the pledges and congratulated them on their choice from eight hundred odd candidates. "The day when you are received as a membermember of the Beggars Fraternity," to quote Mr. Dempsey, "should be the most memorable day of your scholastic career. On your selection from eight hundred possible candidates, I congratulate you." Mr. Emile Rive, the second speaker of the night, told the newcomers what the Beggars meant to Loyola and in particular to the pledges. Mr. P. A. Gaudet, Treasurer, reminded the pledges of the remarkable progress that the Beggars Fraternity had made in its one year of existence. "It is without doubt the most representative body of loyal Loyola students and the most progressive organization on the campus," Mr. Gaudet told the pledges. Mr. Henry O'Connor explained to the men what their obligations as pledges would consist of. Other speakers were: Messrs. Bernard Dempsey, Jerry Glas, Francis Kanimer, Hary Kinsella and Gardere Moore, all of whom gave a short address of welcome to the guests of the evening. Mr. Crane also congratulated the men on their selection to pledgeship. "Although it has been my good fortune to gain several honors at Loyola," said Mr. Crane, "the one which I prize most is my brothership in the Beggars Fraternity." A toast to the health of the pledges was offered, after which, to conclude the night, Mr. O'Connor rendered Sir Thomas Moore's beautiful eulogy, "Farewell." LADIES MARQUETTE ASSOCIATION MEETS Beautifying of Grounds to Continue; Lights for Driveway Contemplated. The November meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary Marquette Association took place on the afternoon of November 4th. The day was Election Day, but the duty of voting for the President of the country which was done by the ladies, did not interfere with their attendance at the meeting. The meeting was called to order at 3 :30 by the President, Miss Delßondio. Father Twellmeyer, S.J., President of Loyola and Chaplain of the Auxiliary, opened the proceedings with prayer. The purpose and the inspiration of all the activities of the Ladies Auxiliary is the common slogan of all the departments of the university, namely, GREATER LOYOLA. Stimulated by this motive many projects for the betterment and extension of Loyola University were discussed at the meeting. Special attention was paid to the issue of THE MAROON of November Ist, for the reason that on that date the paper was one year old. The ladies expressed great praise and admiration for the wonderful growth of the paper. The ladies were always deeply interested in the welfare of the paper since it is the organ giving publicity to the efforts and accomplishments of their organization for the university. During the meeting the hope was expressed that in future all notices of meetings and other announcements concerning the Ladies Auxiliary would be made through the columns of THE MAROON. The members of the auxiliary would be moved to take even a greater interest in the paper than heretofore if it becomes the official channel for all notices of meetings. Instead of receiving a card from the secretary the Maroon would announce the LOYOLA'S PRESIDENT ON VISIT TO FLORIDA Doctors Order Fr. Twellmeyer to Take Short Vacation. The combined duties of President of Loyola University and Diocesan Inspector of Catholic Schools have proven to be so strenuous that the health of Father Twellmeyer has suf fered as a result. The long stretch of enervating heat which has marked the summer just gone, as well as the exacting attention to the administration of Loyola University Summer School lowered his vitality. Absolute separation from the theatre of his labors and a change of scene was ordered by the doctors. Father Twellmeyer will spend a month at Miami, Florida, where he is the guest of the Jesuit Fathers. He will be back at work again before the first of December. The Maroon takes this opportunity to express the wishes of the student body and faculty that Loyola's President will benefit by his rest in Florida and be able again to take up the presidency of Loyola University. INVITATION TO SOUTHERN MEDICAL ASS'N IS EXTENDED Visiting Doctors and their Wives Invited to Inspect Buildings. Invitation has been sent to the officers and members of the Southern Medical Association, together with their daughters and wives, to visit Loyola and inspect the magnificent new Science building during their Convention here this month. As the doctors will be here several days, and are making it a point to see the big attractions of the city, it is probable that the invitation will be accepted. Should the physicians visit Loyola they will be amply repaid by the wonders of the new Science building. No where in the South is there a finer structure, and nowhere in the country, better equipped laboratories. Patented after the celebrated Science buildings of Yale and the University of Illinois, it bids fair to eclipse them both in beauty and utility. Experts from all sections of the country were called in to conference to plan this noble structure, and the very finest material obtainable was used to construct it. The building is a four-story erection of Gothic architecture. It is built on pilings driven many feet below the surface, and has a framework of steel. LOYOLA IS REPRESENTED AT N. D. CONVENTION Standards of Admission to Dental School Discussed; Latest Dental Instruments and Equipments Exhibited. Loyola was represented at the National Dental Convention, held at Dallas, Texas during the past week, by the Reverend F. D. Sullivan, S.J., and Dr. C. V. Vignes; Regent and Dean of the Loyola Dental School. Dr. Vignes attended the convention not only as Dean of a standard Dental school, but also as a member of the Dental Educational Council. The purpose of the Convention was to decide upon the standards of admission into a dental school. Formerly a high school education was all that was required of a student matriculating into a standard dental school. It has been agitated by many leading authorities in the country that a year of college work be demanded in addition to the four years' high school. A feature of the convention was the exhibition of the latest in dental instruments and equipment by many of the national supply houses. SEISMIC OBSERVATORY ALLOTTED NEW LOCALITY ON CAMPUS GROUNDS Prominent New Orleans Family Donors; Instrument An Asset to New Science Building. The location of the Nicholas P. Burke Seismic Observatory will be changed. The present site of the Observatory is directly in front of the entrance to Bobet Science Hall, thus marring the effect and the appearance of the beautiful new building. The plans are to move the building containing the seismograph intact to a new locality back of th eSacristy of the Holy Name Church. While the Observatory is a beautiful little erection in itself, its present location hides the entrance of the Science Hall. This effect considerably detracts from the attractiveness of the larger building, so it was decided that the seismograph must go—that is, go to a new location. The spot selected, while drab and lifeless now, will soon be a pasture of green grass, thanks to the efforts of the Ladies' Marquette Association. Although the building will not be so prominently situated as at present, it will attract its own share of admiration in its corner of the grounds behind the Sacristy. The edifice which contains the seismograph was donated by the Burkes, a prominent family of New Orleans, as a dedication to the memory of their deceased son, who at the time of his death was a student of Loyola. The memorial on the front lawn was also donated by a member of the Burke family in commemoration of the departed boy. The donor of this memorial is Mrs. Douglass, an aunt of the youth. The seismograph building was erected in 1910. The seismograph at Loyola is a part of German handiwork. It is known as the Weichart astatic type, and is in reality two seismographs, one vertical and the other horizontal. An astronomical clock registers the exact time at which the quake occurred. The instrument consists of a pendulum so supported that it remains stationary, or, nearly so, when the earth's crust shakes| A pen attached to the shaft of the pendulum traces out lines on clock driven drums about which are wound sheets of graphic paper and thus register shocks which arc too slight to be felt by us. Radio oscillators are now being employed to amplify the slight quakes and thus more definite data is procured in regard to the slight tremors of the earth's crust than was possible before. The vacuum tube has been only used previously as an agent of amplifying the vibrations of the earth's crust and not as a detector of terrestrial tremors. When Bobet Hall was being erected. ■ t was feared that the vibrations caused by the driving of the pilings would injure the seismograph, so it was dismantled. Outside of a' noble, but failing effort on the part of an amateur seismologist, the work of restoring the seismograph has been deferred up to the present time. When the Seismic Observatory is moved and the seismograph again put in working order, the Science department of the university will come into (Continued on Page 4.) (Continued on Page 8.)

I love the light, airy clouds of bubbles of this Prosecco. Although Prosecco isn't supposed to compete with Champagne on the fineness of its bubbles, because it is made by a different carbonation process, Adami Prosecco gives Champagne a run for the money on the bubbly quotient. That, along with providing all the other fun-loving attributes of Prosecco, makes the Adami an intriguing and rewarding choice.
Although relatively simple compared to Valdo and Zenato, Mionettooffers crowd-pleasing notes of fresh lime, ginger, and yellow apple. Its soft finish makes it highly suitable for sipping by itself as an aperitif. However, I also found it matched well with cut fruit and light hors d'oeuvres.
Valdo's premium offering comes from superior vineyards in the Valdobbiadene region of Veneto. It is both more complex, and considerably dryer than the standard Valdo, and is an excellent choice when a more powerful Prosecco is needed at the dinner table.
Prosecco first achieved fame as the major ingredient of the Bellini cocktail, made from Prosecco and fruit juice at the famed Harry's Bar in Venice (where it was a favorite drink of Ernest Hemingway). Although Valdo Prosecco contains no fruit juice whatsoever, it has a refreshing citrus/orange/peach note that call this famous cocktail to mind. It works great with light appetizers and crudités, or on its own as an aperitif.
Both dryer and more sophisticated than the more fruit-forward Valdo, the Zardetto is a thoroughly delightful Prosecco. Bursting with floral, pear and peach notes, this exuberant wine rolls across the palate with clouds of tangy, refreshing bubbles. It finishes with engagingly brisk acidity. A great choice.

Fabulous Conditioner!!!!
By Anne
from Hoboken, NJ/NYC, NY
Comments about DHC Light & Smooth Conditioner:
I have very abused hair (I highlight, color, wash and dry every day, etc...) and was using a very heavy conditiner thinking that I really needed it. However, my hair was kind of heavy and hard to style. I got a sample of this with my DHC mositurizer and tried it and....WOW!!...it changed my hair for the better! It is shiny and bouncy and blew dry like a dream!! What a wonderful product! I'm in love!!!!

Great conditioner--smells great!

See all my reviews
This conditioner is light and smells great. My husband uses it too. He likes the smell and the way it leaves his hair soft and manageable.
Very Good Conditioner
By Bootcamper
from Milwaukee
I am impressed with this conditioner - it does not "over-condition" or make my hair look limp or greasy. I'm not wild about the smell - it's not bad at all, just not what I expected, but definitely not a deal-breaker. Great value - a little goes a long way.
Fabulous product!
By castew8
from Janesville, WI
I received a sample of this with my recent order and decided to try it. I couldn't believe how it made my hair feel! For the first time in a long time I had shine & bounce in my hair! I have very fine hair and with menopause in full swing it seems to be getting thinner & thinner. This conditioner made the frizz go away and made it feel very soft & full. You don't need a lot either. I put a little bit in the palm of my hand and rubbed my hands together and massaged it into my scalp. I can't use anything heavy on my hair since it is very fine as it would make it very limp and it wouldn't hold any curl. But this is a really great conditioner, and very, very, light and clean smelling. It is just what I have been looking for. Will order more today!
The best conditioner I ever used!

from IL, USA
I get comments all the time about the wonderful fragrance.
Nourishing, soft & smells great

The Best Conditioner.
By taffyjean
from Baltimore, MD
For a few years my hair has become thicker and more wavy. When air drying may hair, it dries to a thick, frizzy mess. I am constantly trying to find the perfect conditioner that softens and tames. This conditioner is by far the best I have used to get those results. I'm not extremely fond of the citrus smell (smells a little like Fructis) I would prefer a more 'green' herbal scent - but it's such a great conditioner, I'll keep purchasing it anyway.
Love it!
By flowerchild67
from New Market, Iowa
Love this conditioner! I have long wavy hair and this conditioner is great! It helps the fly aways and leaves my hair nice and smooth.
Light Conditioner
By BJB
from N. C. , DE
After second and third use my hair began to feel somewhat over conditioned and limp, but it will definitely soften and smooth hair.
Fantastic for aging hair!
By Planner Girl
from Coral Springs, FL
My hair started looking less healthy after I moved to Florida and into my forties. This conditioner along with the shampoo made an immediate difference and I have been using 5 years plus. Shiny, bouncy, manageable and the smell is incredible!

And this is it, a wrap an another season of Survivor, a pretty great one despite a couple of dull episodes and for the first time in many seasons (probably since Todd Herzog winning Survivor China) I'm genuinely happy with the winner who won't be named for a few more lines in case you haven't watched the season finale yet (but after the picture, many spoilers ahead, you've been warned). So let's see what happened to our last remaining contestants during this last episode. - Albert Destrade: I kinda feel bad for Albert. I mean, the guy doesn't seem like a bad dude, but he really fooled himself Continue reading »
Was it a crazy episode or not? Or was it a normal episode full of crazy people? Ok, at least one crazy person and one pretending to be for some reason. In any case, I enjoyed every single minute of it. The Tuna Tribe - Albert Destrade: It was pretty interesting to see everything blow up to his face this week. All season long he's tried to make a big move and all season long he never managed to make a single one. And this is when he tried to turn against who seemed to be his number one ally – Sophie – that everyone else Continue reading »
Hey everyone, I'm back! I'm finally moved in my new apartment and I finally have an internet connection back. So, where were we? Cochran betrayed Savaii and didn't turn that to his advantage and get screwed by Honor & Integrity as soon as they got the chance. Actually, here is my take on the whole Honor & Integrity thing; only Brandon believes it. I means, he betrays and lies as much as everyone else (possibly even a bit more), but he believes he doesn't. Albert and Sophie just pretend they're on board with that, but it's just a facade. Rick believes… What does Rick believe? If you know, please, Continue reading »
What an episode! I had goose bumps at tirbal council. That hadn't happened in many seasons. Heroes Vs Villains maybe? Love, love, love this season. I'm now sure it will end up being one of the best ever. So were do I start? Maybe by the fact that I'm blogging this week when I told you last week I was not going to? Well, how could I not blog about this episode!? Ok, to be honest, I wish I was not in a position to blog this week, but instead of having landed in Japan two hours ago and now enjoying a nice dinner with my Japanese family I'm Continue reading »
Wow. Did we all see that? Did we all see Ozzy Lusth make the dumber move in Survivor history? Erik Reichenbach must be a happy man today. Ok, to be honest we don't know what will happen, but while it has the potential to be an impressive move, it has much more potential to be comically devastating to Ozzy. In any case, this season definitely delivers, and this episode, once again, is the perfect example of why I love this show. The other day we talked about big blindsides, this week it was the drama (a little) and the big move that will come down in history no matter the outcome. Continue reading »
Another good episode this week, I now have a very good feeling about this season, it may just stay good, possibly even great until the end. I know I repeat myself, but casting people who applied and are fans of the show, actually makes a difference, doesn't it? We're now slowly approaching the merge, and those "soon to be a merge" episodes are usually very interesting as they tend to shape the rest of the season. Look what we had for the past three seasons. Episode 6 was about the time when Boston Rob had reached total control of his tribe while Zapatera was starting their self-destruction, in Nicaragua, Continue reading »
I'm back home just in time for an amazing episode of Survivor. Definitely the best one since Heroes Vs Villains. This is because of those kinds of episode that I'm a fan of this show, it had everything you can ask for: good character development, an epic challenge, a big move, and even the redemption island part was almost interesting. So without further ado, let's see what there is to say about it. Savaii Gosh, at the beginning of the season I was so scared this tribe was going to be Ometepe 2.0. Thank you Jim and Cochran for not letting this happen. – Dawn Continue reading »
Alright, alright, I know I'm late, very late, white rabbit style late. Thing is, as I told you last week, I'm not currently home, and while I managed to watch this week's episode I hadn't had the time to blog about it until now. First I thought I was not going to blog about it at all, but it was a very good episode (especially with such a predictable boot) so better late than never right? (however, it's going to be short and picture-less analysis) So as I said, good episode this week. I hope production finally understands that having a cast comprised of people who know and love the Continue reading »
Ok, I was on a small trip yesterday and today, I recently got back home, I've just finished watching the episode and I'm pretty tired, so it'll be a small analysis, although I'm not too sure it would have been much longer in other circumstances as this episode was more or less the first bad one of the season, and I hope this won't start a trend like it did last season. What didn't I like during this episode? Well, mostly the fact that the editors have decided, once again, to focus on only a handful of contestants, pushing the other ones in the background as mere extras. The Continue reading »
So far so good. Two very good episodes in a row, we haven't had that in a long time. The two returning players don't hog too much of camera time and Phillip is not here to take the rest of the air time. Actually most of the cast is pretty interesting to have me interested in this season whatever happens. Good. (although I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm knocking on wood, last season first two episodes were good too, they were the only ones) Savaii As usual, the tribe that wins immunity gets less air time, so not much about them and not a lot of Continue reading »

Want to live in paradise? Hawaii has plenty to offer its 1.2 million residents, including the famous beauty of its islands and the comfortable year-round climate. Even the products Hawaii exports are luxurious: cane sugar, pineapple, flowers, coffee beans, bananas and macadamia nuts are the state's chief products. The biggest industry is, naturally, tourism.
There's more to living in Hawaii than inserting yourself into a real-life picture postcard of paradise; the revitalization of Hawaiian culture is a strong force in the state, with the Hawaiian language being taught throughout schools and a renewed interest in the Hawaiian monarchy.
What to Expect
One of the biggest challenges when considering a move to Hawaii is trying to decide what to do with your possessions. In other words, ship or sell? It can often be financially beneficial to sell certain items rather than pay to ship them between apartments; older cars and heavy furniture you don't really like anymore may also fit into this category. But if your possessions are in good condition, it may make sense to ship them, as most manufactured goods are quite a bit more expensive in Hawaii (remember that the stores there had to pay for shipping, too).
Where to Explore
Each Hawaiian Island offers a distinct personality, pace of life, cost of living and job market. Where you choose to look for apartments depends greatly on the lifestyle you're looking for.
Oahu Oahu contains the state capital, Honolulu, as well as the crowded tourist destination of Waikiki Beach. It's the most developed and populated of all the islands, housing about 75% of the state's 1.2 million residents. Is it your dream to live on the beach in Waikiki? Average apartments run about $1,000 in monthly rent. Most Oahu residents work in Honolulu, where plenty of apartment rentals are available near the downtown area. If suburban living appeals to you, look for apartments for rent in the outlying districts of Hawai' Kai, Kailua, Kane'ohe, Kapolei, Waikele or Mililani.
Kauai The fourth largest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai may prove to be a quieter home than Oahu, but it's still a popular tourist destination and the site of many film productions (picture yourself living in Jurassic Park!). Believe it or not, you can find studio apartments starting at around $500. How's that for affordable paradise? Expect to pay considerably more if you want more living space—the price for most apartment rentals is around $1,000.
Maui Maui is less populated and developed than Oahu, and it is famous for its pristine beaches and excellent surfing. Major employers include the local government as well as retail and tourism. Condo rentals are plentiful for vacationers, but you may have a slightly harder time finding apartments for rent as a resident. They don't come cheap, either; expect to pay $1,200 or more for the average apartments. If you're looking for island living and a beautiful place to call home, though, you'll find that Maui fits the bill.
Hawaii (the Big Island) The Big Island is Hawaii's geographical largest at 4,038 square miles (twice the size of all other Hawaiian Islands combined). Rainforests, lava fields and fabulous beaches make this a spectacular place to call home. Most residents are employed in agriculture, retail, government or the tourist industry. When it comes to rentals, you'll find plenty of condos and apartment rentals, with an average rent of $700—the cheapest of the major islands.

Ashwant, our server was very friendly and showed us a great time! My GF and I shared a majority of the items we ordered, and we thought the portions to be great! 1 Appetizer + complimentary Duck Fat Fries and 1 Entree Split = Perfect amount of food for the both of us. (And we aren't two skinny people either... I am over 200 lbs! All muscle... ;D) Anyway, great food, service, and atmosphere! Will be back again!
We spent $450 for four of us for dinner. We were expecting excellent food. And we got it. They have a fairly long wine list, with very expensive bottles. They prepared a little dessert to celebrate my wife's birthday. This was much appreciated. Our waiter seemed distracted. He never smiled. When he spoke to us, it was very faintly which made it tough to understand him. And, when he took our credit card and valet parking ticket, he forgot to bring the latter back and forced me to look for him. From a high-end restaurant like this, one would expect the waiting staff to make the guest a little more welcome than this... One last note, the servings are way too big. I'd rather have smaller dishes in order to be able to sample more dishes...
We only had about an hour to dine before a concert, and we were well taken care of -we dined well, and finished on time. Great salads! And we loved the trio of French fries that were served instead of bread. We have dined here several times and it has always been very good.
We stayed at the Marriott Hotel so the restaurant was very convenient It was also easy to get a taxi to the Pavilion after dinner. We actually walked back and that was fun and easy. We ate at Arcadia before the concert. People were very friendly, service was fast and accurate. The salads were delicious. I had a lobster tail "accompaniment" which was perfect. My husband had shrimp which was also good. We had a very good cocktail first then drank our own wine. We all were very happy.
We recently hosted a dinner party for six at Arcadia, within the downtown San Jose Hotel Marriot. We were unanimous in finding the quality of the food and service to be outstanding. Steaks were prepared according to our individual preferences, and the rack of lamb was flavorful, tender and generous. We enjoyed tasty appetizers, including the duck spring rolls, and the complimentary french fried potatoes in three variations, with matching dips. A la carte sides and salads were also generous and delicious. There is an excellent and well-stocked wine cellar. Though not an inexpensive restaurant, Arcadia justifiably ranks among the best San Jose has to offer. Decor is comfortably post-modern minimalist, slightly on the noisy side.
It was my first time there and I enjoyed the experience and the foods. I was not disappointed. I definitely will come here again!
5 stars. The food is fantastic and the entire experience is wonderful from the first bite. This time the chef sent out two different small plates to add to our great dining experience. Look forward to our next visit.
The food and service were outstanding-our waiter was very professional yet down-to-earth. He didn't rush us. We have been there many times - before the remodel and after and we have never been disappointed. Unfortunately , except for a few other restaurants on the Peninsula ( one actually) there just is no good food places. But, Arcadia is definately on the top of our list.
The duck fat fries and lobster pot pie were excellent!
My husband and I shared the cowboy ribeye and it was an ample serving for each of us. A woman at the table next to us was served the lobster pot pie - the presentation was amazing. I wished I liked lobster! We also shared the beignets with Macallan butterscotch custard - divine!!
Loved the lobster corn dogs. Enjoyed the 3 variety of complimentary fries with different salts. Prime filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Side order of mushrooms were OK, nothing to brag about. Guess it lacked any distinct flavors.
We always select this restaurant ehen we come to events in San Jose. The best steaks, but SO much more. Fabulous oysters, tuna tartare, yummy French fries, great Mac and cheese. Our waiter is the best!
Arcadia has godo food and wine, capable wait staff and a fine selection. I particularly liked the french fries served pre-dinner as nromally would bread, this was a nice touch. That said, it is quite expensive for what it is - a restaurant in the Marriott. It still carries that hotel lobby feel - even in teh nicely appointed back area with tables of all sizes. The meal was good, but it's not a price/performer.
Dinner was great! Went early and sat at the bar and took advantage of the happy hour specials before dinner.
We often go to Arcadia before San Jose Rep or the opera. The service is exceptional and the food is creative and excellent. This is our favorite place for steaks in the South Bay. French fries come as soon as you order - watch out, they are yummy. We never have time for the desserts, but they look and sound delicious. The fried chicken for two is fabulous.
Our party of 6 received attentive service w/ very good food. We appreciated the free duck-fat fries, for sure! The dishes were appropriately priced, the food was very good, service was well-paced. Our server discretely identified our birthday boy, and we were pleased w/ the delicious birthday surprise. We will happily return!
Everything tasted amazing. Food and drinks. Definitely worth the price
This was our first time at Arcadia, definitely wound not be our last time. We enjoyed everything.
Food was absolutely delicious! Our server Cheo was amazing as well. Definitely returning!
Great food, service and ambience. Nice selection of seafood and beef dishes. Servings where appropriate in size - not to large and not to small. The appetizers and starters where a nice compliment to the meal.
Once again, Arcadia has done a magnificent job with their food. The grilled cheese sandwich was the best I have ever had. The staff is amazing and pleasant to deal with. We were on a time constraint and we did not have to as for our order to be rushed!
Everything about this place is great, the service, food, drinks, wine list, everything! I have never had better steak tar tar in the south bay before! The steaks were cooked properly and were very juicy and tender, also the sauces that come with them are extremely complimentary. We had their mashed potatoes, asparagus, macaroni and cheese, and barrata salad...all were so good, so not ordinary! Will definitely make this place a regular spot!
Really nice cuisine and helpful friendly service. Was able to converse without effort and have an enjoyable celebration dinner with my wife. Nice window view of downtown hustle and bustle without noise intrusion. Looking forward to dinning there again.
Although we had to ask for some of items more than once, overall the food, service & ambiance were good
I came here Saturday night, and had an absolute wonderful time!! The food was outstanding! I ordered the Filet Mignon, which was cooked just perfectly. The truffled mac and cheese was to die for! :) I loved the waiter's presentation on the Ahi Tuna. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know!
It was a special occasion (a significant milestone anniversary) and I had noted that on the reservation. Everyone from the hostess to the manager greeted us and offered congratulations, and we were served a complimentary glass of champagne along with a special dessert. The food was delicious, the service was attentive but not annoying, and overall it was a great experience. Everyone made us feel special and valued. My only comment is that it's a little noisy, but I would definitely recommend Arcadia.
The updated décor is beautiful. Warm and inviting. The menu has a nice variety and the presentation is very appealing. Our server was great. He gave us plenty of time to have cocktails and chat, but was there and ready when we needed him. Very nice evening with friends.
We had the ribeye and the rack of lamb. By far, thee BEST grilled meat I have eaten in Silicon Valley. I have been to all the "hot" spots in the area and none of the grilled meats compare to Arcadia.
The food, though a bit pricey was excellent. The ambiance was great and our server Michael was awesome. We will certainly come again.
I love this place and it remains one of our favorite places to dine. From the lobster dogs to the skirt steak, they know How to impress!
If you are looking for a great dining experience with top service Arcadia inside the Marriot Hotel is the place to be. The lobster corn dogs are very tasty. My wife had the scallops that were cooked to perfection and my cowboy rib-eye with pinot reduction was one of the best steaks I have had. The waiter brought out some complimentary fries which were a good snack. To top it off, the chocolate lava cake was really delicious. Our waiter Charles was great.
I brought my girlfriend here for our anniversary. We arrived early and sat in the lounge for a bit. It was comfortable and I can see how small groups can gather for drinks. Once we were seated our server welcomed us and got us settled. Once we ordered the wait began. We got the complimentary duck fries and each had a ribeye. We ended dinner with the beignets. The food was good but dinner just took too long. We were at the table for over two hours. I am all for a relaxed setting but that was just too long. The staff was always very polite though. Valet is free if you dine in which was another nice touch. Id come again but would probably bring some friends so we can have some drinks and some laughs to pass the time more easily.
This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and they did not disappoint! The ambience was great, the food was amazing, and the service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend Arcadia to any one of my friends or family members.
We celebrated our anniversary here and couldn't have had a better experience. The waiter, Charles, was excellent from the moment he greated us, including acknowledging our special occasion, and throughout our night. My wife had the raw oysters to start and said they were the best she's had. We had the rack of lamb and rib-eye, and both were perfectly cooked and melted in our mouths. I will definitely be back.
We were pleased to find open availabilty at this Michael Mina gem. Booked a day before on open table and had many options for dining times. This is the only thing that irked me a little and reading past reviews, it seems like SOP. We arrived 10 min. prior to our reservation and we told to wait while our table was prepared. The restaurant was not noticeably busy but we still had to wait 30 min. for our table. This seems standard for other big name chef restaurants as well i.e. Jose Andres. Not a huge deal, just a little annoying. Other than that, amazing food and reasonable pricing. Tip: Monday night is 50% off bottles of wine! Duck fat fries were a awesome twist on pre-dinner starch and delicious! Best steak I've had since I can remember.
Lunch or dinner are both great. Reasonably priced for the quality and freshness of the food. Excellent and comfortable modern ambience with plenty of window seats. A great place to meet colleagues for lunch and entertain clients for lunch or dinner.
What a pleasurable dining experiance. From the complementary french fries, the lobster corn dogs, to the perfectly cooked and seasoned Alaskan cod our meal was a perfect dining experience .. personable and knowledged wait staff, added just the right touches to an already great meal.
The food was outstanding but the service was a little slow. They were also very accommodating to my friend who has a lot of food allergies. I can't wait to go back.
The quality and variety of food was outstanding. The server could have been a tad more attentive.
This Michael Mina restaurant is one of my favorites. Even after moving away from the Bay Area, I still try to eat here when in town at the San Jose Convention Center for conferences or meetings. Consistent, quality food! The Duck Fries are served in lieu of bread. What a fabulous treat since I could not find them on the menu to order a la carte. Great ambiance! Service was also top notch. Would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.
Anyone expecting a regular Marriott hotel restaurant experience should prepare to be surprised. I dined twice at Arcadia and on both occasions was impressed. Of particular note were the scallops and black cod; cooked to perfection and all flavours on the plate came together well. This must be one of the best restaurants in the Valley; certainly close to or on a par with Alexanders Steakhouse.
Was in San Jose for a seminar, we landed at the Marriot for an overnight for a two night stay. The Arcadia restuarant was the icing on an very memorable weekend. I would highly recommend this steakhouse. Much better than any other we have been to in the Bay Area. The service was friendly and we never felt rushed. Try the brussel sprouts!!!!!!.
I had proposed to my girlfriend earlier in the day and we went to Arcadia to celebrate. This is probably the best restaurant we have been to in the San Jose area and we dine out frequently. The service was incredible. The food was on point. Everything fit. While it is pricey you get a great experience and a great meal. Certainly great for a special occasion.
Best steaks in the South Bay. Always fabulous food down to the truffle butter popcorn and lobster corn dogs. Consistently great selections and a great place to entertain business guests.
This is the second time we have eaten at this restaurant. Both times we have made reservations in advance. Both times they have ushered us into the dining room and tried to give us the worst table. This time the hostess tried to seat us at a table that could barely have seated one person. The restaurant was not full and most tables were empty . I just glared at her and asked for another table. She did seat us elsewhere but why did she try to seat us at an undesirable table when we had made reservations weeks before.? Don't like that kind of treatment.
Very nice experience overall; delicious filet and tasty sides, super attentive and friendly staff. Open feel, expansive views of downtown, and relatively quiet during our mid-week dinner. Convenient to light rail which was bonus.
Arcadia had a very nice Thanksgiving buffet, with delicious turkey and fixings. The buffet seemed like the right choice for Thanksgiving dining out. Nice touches such as roasted pumpkin seeds on the butternut squash soup, giblet gravy, and delicious stuffing. Definitely poor on the vegan options, but this was a nice place to celebrate and abandon the diet for a day.
We have been here for datenight, entertaining clients and holidays. always good food. Never an issue with service and we have always brought our son from newborn to now almost 3 with no issues.
I was a bit reluctant, given the price and that it was a Thanksgiving buffet; however, probably the best such meal I've had in the Bay Area. My only regret was I simply coudn't sample everything offered but what I did try was always exdellent and the service was prompt, friendly and courteous. I can't wait to go back and order from the menu next time.
The food was great although a little pricey. The filet was cooked exactly as ordered but under seasoned. Neither of us had brought our watch and needed to be out in time for the opera. The server was wonderful and got us out with time to spare and we didn't feel rushed. The cocktails were delicious. We had a nice experience but there are other places in San Jose wgreat one can get a great meal for less.

Down East 2013 ©
Photographs courtesy of Samantha Appleton/noor
Seven years ago, Samantha Appleton was tending bar at the Waterfront Restaurant in Camden. Today, she is one of the world's foremost photojournalists, winning a Pictures of the Year award for her photographs of the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks and subsequently covering the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for Time and The New Yorker.
Samantha Appleton's rapid rise speaks volumes about her personal ambition and visual acumen, but it also has a great deal to do with growing up in a small town in Maine, an upbringing that gave her both self-confidence and a desire to see the world.
Sam Appleton, who co-owns the Waterfront Restaurant, would rather see his daughter "doing weddings than running around Iraq," but he says she has always had a taste for adventure, recalling how three-year-old Samantha wandered off one day from the family home on Saturday Cove in Northport, precipitating a frantic two-hour search.
"After that close encounter," he says, "it was off to the races."
The thirty-three-year-old Appleton herself recalls sitting on the shore of Penobscot Bay and watching the contrails of international flights disappear out over the North Atlantic, wondering where the planes were going and wishing she were on them. For Appleton, though, her family's restaurant served as her window on the world.
"Camden and Rockport are an unlikely nexus of people from all over the world," Appleton explains. "There are people from the CIA, CEOs, great writers, and the element of people coming in on boats. As a child, I saw these people coming into my world and knew there was something outside this area."
Samantha Appleton's urge to be where the action is first led her to Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts following her sophomore year at Camden-Rockport High School. When it came time for college, she selected a school about as far from Maine as possible. At the University of Washington in Seattle she became the news editor of the campus newspaper and, although she photographed all her own news stories, she thought she was on the road to becoming a writer.
Photography, however, had already become part of Appleton's life, beginning with a class at the Maine Photographic Workshops in 1988 at age thirteen. Upon graduation from college in 1997, Appleton won a fellowship that she used to shoot a photo-documentary in Romania. Afterward, she returned home to work at the Waterfront and to assist Camden documentary filmmaker David Conover.
In 1998, at the age of twenty-three, Appleton moved to New York City where she landed a coveted internship at Magnum Photos, the world's premier photo agency. She then secured a position as an assistant to James Nachtwey, arguably the world's most famous war photographer. That is where Appleton learned how to capture the scenes of crisis that have become her specialty.
"Conflict photography is what I do now," Appleton says. "Working for James Nachtwey, I learned his commitment to the work. It's a skill you have to work at very, very hard."
What looks in retrospect like Samantha Appleton's meteoric rise to the top of photojournalism was not without its setbacks. In 2000, she spent "a strange three or four months" as a White House photographer assigned to the office of vice president and presidential hopeful Al Gore. When Gore lost the election, Appleton lost the plum assignment of photographing the next president.
As it happened, Appleton was home visiting her family in Camden when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, but she quickly headed back to the city. One day she was helping out at the Waterfront, the next she was photographing the devastation at Ground Zero. The photo essay Appleton made on the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse for the Portland-based Aurora and Quanta Productions agency won her a Pictures of the Year award in 2002, the same year her mentor James Nachtwey was named Photographer of the Year.
Despite the attention her World Trade Center photographs received, Appleton found she did not yet have the credentials to get embedded with a military unit during the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Undeterred, she purchased a flack jacket and a BGAN satellite phone to transmit pictures and traveled on her own to Amman, Jordan, entering Iraq from there — much to her family's dismay.
After the initial three weeks of shock and awe, many of the frontline photographers in Iraq rotated home, figuring the war was almost over. That created an opportunity for freelancers like Appleton, who found herself getting work from magazines such as Time and The New Yorker.
"Samantha's photography stood out from many of the people who began to cover the Iraq conflict," says Alice Gabriner, Appleton's editor at Time. "An editor wants to be sure the photographer is intelligent, and level-headed — particularly in a war zone. Good judgment is key. It's important to be able to trust that they have good instincts and their information is accurate. This, combined with a heightened visual aesthetic, is what makes Samantha special."
Now at the top of her profession, Samantha Appleton remains a Maine girl at heart. Frank, friendly, and plainspoken, she dresses simply in jeans and jerseys and wears her dark hair pulled back in a ponytail. Her angular features evince a native intelligence and diligence. She lives in a spartan third-floor apartment on Portland's West End with a wide-angle view of the industrial Fore River and close proximity to the Portland International Jetport.
To maintain her grip on the midcoast of her youth, Appleton owns a small piece of property in Rockport covered with blueberries and apples. Maine has taken on the role of refuge from the troubled world she photographs.
"When I get up here," she says, "it's the first time I can shut things off. I come home for a little solace."
Sandy Shapiro, a wedding planner in South Portland who has been Appleton's best friend since they both showed up for kindergarten wearing the same dress, says, "When she's in New York she's a whole different person than she is when she's here. She's so much more relaxed in Maine."
When Samantha Appleton photographs in Maine, she chooses projects that have a special meaning for her, including the Maine Handicapped Skiing program at Sunday River.
"I could not believe it. It was so cool!" she says of her first exposure to handicapped skiing. "The kids were just glowing. For some of them, it's the first time they felt like they belonged to anything. There isn't an ounce of sadness in that place." She has also created a portfolio of photographs of Lubec, a town seemingly in transition as tourism reaches all the way Down East.
"Tourism in Maine is a double-edged sword," says Appleton. "Most Mainers along the coast are completely reliant on it for their income, yet it drives up the living costs for year-round residents, and summer is when they must work the hardest to make enough to last the whole year. That is certainly true of my family. Camden is not the town I grew up in, but tourism paid for my education and bartending supported my first few years of freelancing."
Indeed, Appleton says she hopes her work will help preserve the forces of community and family that shaped and launched her.
"I feel so fortunate," concludes Appleton, "to have grown up in a small town that attracts so many interesting people."
And now she has become one of them.

The €100B Spanish bailout added to EU/IMF pledges to Greece, Ireland, and Portugal brings the total to €486B since 2010, reports Linda Yueh. Got gold?

Can't blame just him. It's not like it'd be any other way with the other guys. The system is built this way, and until it fails, or people wake up (I've given up on the latter), then we'll just have to watch the train wreck progress. Romney sure as hell wouldn't fix it.
Ron Paul would have tried, but no one actually wants real change, so we're stuck with tweedledum and tweedledee. -
I guess there is no financial crisis, panic, or debt problem that can withstand a central bank's ability to print unlimited amounts of cash. In the latest instance, it seems that the debts of a few Spanish banks will be monetized. The European Stability Mechanism will issue bonds to the banks, and the banks will turn around and pledge these bonds to the ECB in exchange for cash. There, problem solved. Investors willing to purchase "safe haven" bonds at 1.63% for the 10-yr T-bond or 1.33% for the German 10-yr. should be forewarned.
We will a triple digits because of Spain
We will a triple digits because of Greece
We will a triple digits because of the End of Q2
and then it will pass too
Focus On India And China, Not In Europe
As an observer of markets whenever everyone focuses on one thing like Greece and Europe maybe they miss issues that are far more important such as a meaningful slowdown in India and China.
Marc Faber Blog -
We have lots of (GLD) and (http://bit.ly/Je8v2V) expect with China and a100 billion dollar poltice for spain a double wammy of a rally for (http://bit.ly/JioISE) Asia Sun PM extending from there.Long (http://bit.ly/pFSoX2) with WWDC starting Mon we hope for a trifecta.
The money printing machines at the central banks all over the world are in hyperdrive now and threaten to melt through the floor as they glow red hot from the TRILLIONS of $ and € and £ and ¥ that they are attempting to flood the world with in a futile effort to hold back the deflationary tidal wave that is engulfing all of us.
Gold and silver are the only true money left in the world as $1 trillion means less and less and less. -
I am not sure why the perma-bulls here think that there's a large short interest out there in equities. There isn't. Only EUR has a large short interest outstanding - which was supposed to be a "sure thing".
I am sure this big risk-on rally and short squeeze "sure thing" is different though. Lever it up boys. I'll be the one selling my longs to you. -
one day, maybe soon, gold is going to 'reset' its price and that my friends, is going to be a day like no other, a day in which i will laugh like a little baby laughs when its being tickled, watching all the socialist /humanist/liberal filth screaming and killing for everything....bwbwhwha...
I am a gold investor and also trade the ups and downs some with the idea of building a larger holding within a reasonable part of my portfolio. But somebody please 'splain me how this news is good for gold.
I am looking at world wide deflation for some period of time before a very large increase in the value of gold. But it's way, way down the road in my thinking and we may see $1,400 again within the next 6-12 month time frame. -
More printing is ALWAYS good for gold and silver.
The only bad things for gold and silver would be:
- A massive new discovery of gold or silver deposits somewhere (unlikely)
-Revolutionary techniques in robotic asteroid mining brings back tons of new precious metals (at least 30 years from being reality)
-Global, coordinated TRUE austerity (which is severe temporary tax increases on the wealthy and upper middle class and severe government spending decreases in entitlement and social programs) (never gonna happen)
-An end to fiat money printing (not in our lifetimes)
Global deflation is a precious metals investors best friend and a nightmare for oil and natural gas investors. Enjoy next week's precious metals rally. -
As Marc Faber says, eventual black swans will most likely fly from the direction of India and/or China. China is way too much dependent on western consumption whereas India is laden upto its eyeballs in corruption. Both have massive asset misallocation and if West falls they will most likely fall faster and deeper.
Europeans should be opting for gold and silver, but I think they will immediately be buying dollars, and the gold and silver recognitions will come later. But all in all I would rather be in gold and silver and their mining and royalty stocks than dollars. A landslide could occur when the public wakes up.
In the words of my favorite sports commentator, Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend." God, I wish it wuz college football season already and I would not be here at 1am on SeekingAlpha.
I don't think the Europeans will be buying much gold and silver in the near future. They may sell much of their large holdings. More likely they will struggle to buy a loaf of bread, even as prices fall during times of deflation brought about by austerity.
But I am just a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech and understand from Corso making a bad pick from time to time that "God is a Hokie:"
In the long run, gold is a huckleberry to equities being a persimmon and treasury bonds being cow dung. But for the next few months, dollar is king.
There you have it from The Amazing Bubbadamous. -
Most comments are geared towards short term profits and news.
Build your portfolio slowly with metals and defensive stocks.
Can gold go lower in the short term? Of course.
Can gold go lower and lose money over the next 5 yrs. Of course not!
With China, India and the banks buying gold it is hard to predict a 1450 retest?
i guess i should have said' non-export centric' country.....game theory shows there must eventually be someone who breaks from the commie IMF pact, and goes the right way......who would it be? outlier could be an african country with lots of gold, but they're all tribalist/gov't lovers, uruguay? possibly, but they don't wanna rock the boat. the only place with the nuts to do it would be singapore or leichtenstein....someone who doesn't need thier handouts and isn't afraid of the violent commies in the US and the IMF
I'd love to see that happen.
My money would actually be on China being the first to do this, and that's only going to happen once they have themselves set up to be a reserve currency and are less export oriented and more internal trade focused, and we're a few years from both of those yet. They've been increasing gold holdings for years and that's only the holdings they're telling us about.
Politically this is when things might get very scary. The US won't want that for a second. It undermines their power base, what with the largest US export being debt, and there's a chance they fight to keep that export.
Other date
