It is generally recognized that the connector art is replete with elements and sub-elements of connector units and assemblies to define mechanical and electrical connection between various circuit elements. The art has, of course, developed with technological developments in the field of electronics and specifically with regard to provision of circuit elements in a variety of forms and configurations. One form commonly utilized in defining electrical circuits is the high contact density connector associated with ribbon like contact circuit means carried by support members of insulating material.
Electrical connectors of the type generally illustrated herein may be provided with any pre-determined number of contact terminals. The type specifically illustrated for purposes of disclosure of the inventive concept set forth herein contains a plurality of terminals being placed along either side of the insulating body of the connector in parallel, spaced-apart relation.
The electrical connectors of the type illustrated herein commonly are electrically joined to circuit elements by application of a wire to the mating terminals of the connector and soldering of the wire to the terminal to define a secure mechanical and electrical interconnection. It can readily be seen that wire application and soldering is difficult with the relatively high density of the contact terminals. Also, it is difficult to apply more than one wire to any single terminal.
The adaptor of the present invention is provided to define a means for eliminating wiring of the individual terminals and to provide for flexibility and use of the connector and the associated circuits. To this extent an adaptor is provided to define a means for modifying the wiring and soldering concept to adapt it for use with wire wrap techniques which, of course, facilitate assembly, repair and modification.
The particular electrical connector schematically illustrated herein and set forth for purposes of the present disclosure is designed with the terminal elements on 85 mil centers, for example, with the terminal elements being formed of electrically conductive material substantially 8 mils in thickness. With conventional techniques, wires are simply applied to the terminals and then soldered to secure them to the terminals. This means that, with the connector illustrated, wires must be soldered to the terminal elements of the contacts of the connector to define the mechanical and electrical inter-connection between circuits desired with the connector assembly set forth herein. This is a difficult and cumbersome operation and, moreover, does not pro vide for flexibility in use of the circuit.
The adaptor element defined herein avoids the need for individual wiring of the terminals and permits use of wire wrap techniques.
It is, accordingly, a general object of the present invention to provide an adaptor for use with high density contact element connectors to provide for use of wire wrap techniques in joining the contact terminals to the circuit elements. I
Other objects reside in the provision of an adaptor means to improve and simplify repair of a circuit or modification of a circuit and to provide an adaptor component which is inexpensive to manufacture, repair and use and which is readily adapted for use with connector elements.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims.
The invention itself, however, together with further objects and advantages thereof will best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the adaptor of the present invention illustrated in conjunction with a high contact density connector;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary top plan view of the support means associated with the adaptor;
FIG. 3 is an end view of the adaptor assembly of FIG. 1 showing the support means and wire wrap posts, in combination;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary side elevation of the adaptor of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is an elevation of one wire wrap post of the type associated with the adaptor disclosed herein showing the forming of the adaptor post in the finished assembly.
Referring more particularly now to the drawings, a multi contact connector typical of the type with which the adaptor of the present invention may be employed is schematically illustrated at 10 in FIG. 1. The connector 10 is defined by an insulating body 12 disposed and secured within a protective shield or cover 14 which may be of formed aluminum, or other suitable material.
In the connector 10 specifically illustrated herein, the insulating body 12 is provided with a plurality of spaced apart recesses 16 along each side thereof, as illustrated.
Terminal elements 18 are adapted to be received within the recesses 16. The terminal portions 18 extending within the insulating body, as shown, are generally defined in a U-shaped configuration, although any other suitable form or shape may be employed.
As noted above, the conventional technique for securing the connector 10 to related circuit elements is to apply an electrical lead to each of the terminals 18 and then solder the leads to the terminals to secure them with respect to the terminals 18. This, of course, would require a lead to be separately positioned on each of the terminals 18 and maintained in position with respect to the terminals until they are soldered to secure them.
The adaptor disclosed herein provieds a simple means to avoid wiring of the individual terminals by modifying the concept to adapt it for use with wire wrap techniques which readily facilitate assembly of the related circuit elements to the connector 10 and permit much easier access for maintenance and repair, as required.
The adaptor is illustrated generally at 20 in FIG. 1 and is comprised of a support member 22 to which a plurality of wire wrap posts 24 are secured.
The support member 22 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart openings 26 extending therethrough. Preferably, these openings are generally round although any other suitable opening configuration may be employed. The support member 22 is electrically non-conductive so that the wire wrap posts 24 disposed therein are suitably insulated with respect to each other.
It should be noted that conventional wire wrap techniques require the use of a wire wrap tool which has a terminal portion adapted to be telescopically received over the wire wrap post and to literally wrap a wire lead in a spiral about the post in a secure manner so that the wire may be captured on the post after removal of the tool. The wire wrap tool and techniques employed therewith are common in the art and fonn no part of the inventive concept disclosed herein. It should be noted also that the wire wrap tool has a physical dimension which requires that the wire wrap posts be spaced apart a distance which is sufficiently great to permit insertion of the wire wrap too] about the adjacent post without interference between posts.
As noted above, the connector 10, is by way of example, provided with terminals 18 which are spaced on 85 mil centers. Application of straight wire wrap posts to the terminals 18 on the 85 mil centers would not provide sufficient clearance for the wire wrap tool to be telescopically received about the post terminals to wrap the wire leads thereabout. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide some means in the use of the adaptor which will permit conventional wire wrap techniques.
The adaptor of the present invention employs the staggered configuration which will provide the necessary spacing for use of the wire wrap tool. For example, the paired openings A B are in relatively close-spaced relation while the paired openings C D are spaced apart a greater distance than the pair A "B. The distance defined between the centers of the openings A B C D may be 0.176 inches or 0.125 inches depending upon whether the wire wrap posts are 0.045 inches or 0.025 inches square, respectively. Staggering of the wire wrap posts in this manner will provide clearance for the wire wrap tool. It should be noted that any suitable dimensions may be selected in the manufacture of a connector of the type disclosed herein. This would, of course, require appropriate modification of the dimensional characteristics specifically noted. here by way of example.
In assembly of the adaptor 20 the straight portions of the wire wrap posts are pressed into the insulative support member 22 and extend through the openings thereof. The wire wrap posts 24 generally are square to provide comers for frictional engagement between the wire leads wrapped thereabout and the post and thereby permit the leads to be captured by the slightly smaller diameter, generally round openings 26 in the insulating support member 22 thereby providing means for securing the posts 24 to the board 22 without additional means for locking the posts to the support member 22.
As schematically illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, the portion of each of the wire wrap posts 24 extending below the support member 22 (as viewed in FIGS. 1 and 3) is formed inwardly toward the longitudinally defined center of the support member 22 to bring that portion of the post to a position where it will register the terminals 18 of the connector 10. Accordingly, as viewed in FIGS. 3 and of the drawings, the lower portions of the posts inserted in the opening A B are bent slightly inward to move them in spaced apart relation in a pattern which will register with the spaced apart relation of the terminals 18 located on opposite sides of the insulating member 12. The posts inserted in the openings C D of the board 22 are formed inwardly a greater amount to bring the terminal insertion portions thereof into the same spaced apart relation as the posts inserted in the openings A B. i
The terminal insertion portions of the wire wrap posts 24 (below the support member 22 is viewed in FIGS. 1 and 3) will be on mil centers (e.g.) on each side of the array and therefore in aligned relation with the terminals 18 in planar array on each side of the insulating body 12. However, the formed characteristic of the wire wrap posts will place the upper portion thereof (above the member 22) on 0.176 or 0.125 centers (e.g.) as required depending upon the physical dimension of the posts 24 empolyed in the adaptor, as noted above.
In some instances it may be helpful to employ a second support member 22 (FIG. 3) to define a more rigid adaptor assembly and to prevent mis-alignment of the upper portion of the wire wrap posts 24. The double support member assembly 22 22' will, of course, define a more rigid structure and provide means for securely mounting the wire wrap posts 24.
When the adaptor assembly.20 is applied to the connector 10. so that the lower portions of the wire wrap posts 24 are engaged with the terminals 18, conventional wave soldering techniques may be employed to mechanically and electrically secure the lower elements of the wire wrap posts 24 to the terminals 18.
The advantage of using the adaptor set forth herein over conventional wiring techniques is that the much faster and more flexible wire wrap techniques may be employed with the connector assembly. The wire wrap technique, of course, is also more flexible in that more than one lead may be secured to a wire wrap post to utilize different circuit functions, as required. It can readily be appreciated that it would be difficult to secure more than one wire to the terminal 18 to achieve the same circuit flexibility although it is recognized that other circuit techniques may be employed with some difi'rculty. Also, if the circuit is modified in some manner it will not be necessary to unsolder a wire from the terminal 18 but, rather, it is necessary only to unwrap the wire from the post 24 associated with the modified circuit function. In addition to the above, if repair of the circuit is necessary it may readily be accomplished by unwrapping the wire from the post and making the appropriate repairs without having to unsolder and resolder a lead to the tenninal 18.
While a specific embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described it will, of course, be understood that other modifications and alternative constructions may be used without departing from the true spirit and scope of this invention. It is therefore intended by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and alternative constructions as fall within the true spirit and scope.
What we desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
1. An adaptor for a high density multi-contact connector to permit use of conventional wire wrap equipment in connecting leads to the connector, said con nector having spaced-apart contacts on opposed sides thereof, the contacts on one side being in opposed relation to the contacts on the other side so as to provide pairs of opposed contacts, said adaptor comprising:
support means having pairs of openings in predetermined spaced relation extending longitudinally thereof, alternate pairs of openings being spaced apart a distance greater than its adjacent pair of openings, a plurality of wire wrap posts secured to the support and extending through the openings therein, said posts being secured to the support means by interengagement with the walls of the openings therein, the portion of said posts on one side of said support means being substantially sides of said connector.

We stayed in 3 different chataeux in this region and this one was the best. The chateau is very beautiful - including the rooms (the rooms are in the chateau and not in an old converted out-building as in another 'chateau'). All the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. An added bonus is the restaurant downstairs. It serves superb food - creating interesting combinations with great subtlety. I can't wait to go back!

If you can't make a map like this from scratch then you need to learn how.
It might be a joke but obviously not everyone is laughing.
Very helpful! Thank you.
Yeah, I would think Gordon would be ******* tired by the time he reached the place.
So your 15?
But then how did Valve know what to have Francis say... oh wait unless... Valve is spying on us D:

"I wanted to get a gold charm that represented the dedication and love my son had for being a member of his college's marching band. This was for his 18th birthday. Since his college is a very well known school I thought it would be easy to find that charm. It wasn't I looked all over the internet and called my local jeweler. Couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. I luckily found your website. I called and spoke to Danny. This was to be a "custom" charm. We spoke and he gave me ideas that I never even thought of I was thrilled that finally I was able to get my son the charm I wanted too. I received the charm and it was beautiful, everything I expected and more. We gave my son the charm this weekend when we visited his school for Parent Weekend. He now owns something that no one else does and his fellow band mates/friends have given him numerous compliments. Thank you Danny and the others who helped make my idea a reality It was a pleasure and I would not hesitate to order from your company again."

"I just receive the St. Florian medal I had ordered. When you say one day shipping you are not kidding. I ordered this on Wednesday morning 12/21 and it was delivered on Thursday 12/22. The medal is absolutely beautiful. I had this done in Sterling Silver and when I opened the box I was totally blown away. Everything from the engraving to the medal itself is just magnificent. I have a firefighter friend that I am giving this medal to for Christmas. I know he will absolutely love it. Thank you so much for the service as well as the beautiful medal. Happy holidays to all of you."

American football goes all ultra violent while grabbing the dices 0
To understand the concept of Blood Bowl the videogame, you need to look back to 1987 when Games Workshop released the dice-based board game of the same name. It took America's favourite sporting event, American Football and turned up the brutality to eleven while mixing in Games Workshop's races from games like Warhammer. Everyone's favourites are included with the likes of Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs, Wood Elves, Goblins, Lizardmen, Chaos and Skaven.

21 Favorite Must-try Paleo, Grain Free Thanksgiving Recipes
21 Favorite Must-try Paleo, Grain Free Thanksgiving Recipes I started out thinking I'd write a post to include holiday recipes for Thanksgiving all the way up through New Years, but soon realized that Thanksgiving deserves its own post.

Healthy Thanksgiving Ideas (paleo, gluten free)
Healthy Thanksgiving Ideas (paleo, gluten free) For anyone changing their lifestyle and starting a new way of eating and thinking about food, holiday time can be daunting.

Holiday parties, cookie trays at work, candy [...]

Garlic Mashed Cauliflower (paleo, gluten free) This is a great alternative to mashed potatoes. If you haven't tried it yet I encourage you to! As someone who has never been a huge fan of cauliflower I can attest to its yumminess! You can make it a creamy or chunky as you like, and as buttery [...]
Pumpkin Coconut Yogurt (paleo, gluten-free, sugar-free)
Pumpkin Coconut Yogurt (paleo, gluten-free, sugar-free) I love all things pumpkin. Add spices and honey and it's just a slice of fall heaven.

Eating Healthy and Paleo on a Budget It seems that many people find eating healthy, local, organic, and/paleo, is cost prohibitive.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this chapter we are going to be working with layers and the timeline. Layers allow you to organize a document from front to back, so you can place objects in front of or behind other objects. The most efficient way to organize a group of objects into layers is a command called Distribute to Layers. So for example, I have a lot of artwork on Stage here and if I wanted to just select the waves, I have to select them one at a time. So there are several wave elements and I have to Shift+Click them all in order to get them all selected and to move them around.
It will be more efficient to have these objects all on one layer. So I can show or hide them or move them around all at the same time. That way they don't even have to be grouped, but they are still organized together. So let's look at this Distribute to Layers command. Select all the artwork on the Stage, the easiest way to do that is to just press Command+A or Ctrl+A on your keyboard, the standard Select All command, then right-click somewhere in your selection and choose Distribute to Layers. Flash then automatically creates layers for each object that you have selected.
Some layers are automatically named those are the ones that just have shapes on them. So I have layer 2, 3, 4 and all the way through 10. Then some layers with text are actually named for you based on the text in each text field. So we have Sea, FROM, TO, and Desert, which are all individual text fields and they get their individual layers and they are also named automatically by Flash. So using this command you can easily convert a group of objects that are on one layer into multiple layers that are sometimes named automatically by Flash.

ARB retention fee 'could see huge hike'
Veteran ARB critic Ian Salisbury has warned that the board's retention fee could rise sharply.The former board member has claimed that a controversial new policy to be debated at a board meeting this Thursday could lead to a hike of 10 per cent in the cost of being on the register. Salisbury said that if board members vote to back the idea of compulsory CPD certification for all registrants, then many would chose to resign instead. He claimed that around 10 per cent of those on the register are retired and continue to pay their retention fee 'for old times sake' and would rather drop off the list than do the work required to stay on it. This, he said, would lead to a sudden slide in the ARB's finances, triggering the retention fee increase. However, Salisbury also said the entire CPD strategy was flawed due to its impact on the profession. 'There should have been more work done on assessing the impact that this new policy will have. 'And the RIBA also missed a trick; it should have stood up and said that this is for us, not you,' he added. 'But it didn't.' by Ed Dorrell

- I was hoping for moreFoodFirstDined on 11/22/2014I remember when the Mediterranean Kitchen (the parent of Mashawi, now in Bellevue) was on Roy Street years ago. Portions are still ample and each dinner comes with lentil soup and a salad. Shish Tawook was more lemony and less grilled than hoped for. Lamb Shwarma had thin-sliced little pieces of lamb that were less than hoped for. The chicken thighs were (as always) perfect. If you come here, have no fear of garlic! The service was thoughtful, but for a long stretch when drink refills were desired, no waiter looked in our direction. A team approach (not waiting 'til our own waiter is looking at us) might help, as other staff passed us with studied tunnel vision.I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/15/2014My friends and went here before the ballet. All the items we ordered were enjoyed and I liked the unique wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KpseaDined on 11/15/2014Decent, but if you're looking for a Mediterranean meal, I'd recommend Plaka in Ballard instead--better prices, food and service!Special Features:
- Great Mashawi chickenOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/6/2014I tried their eponymous chicken dish this time, "Dajaj Mashawi". It was very flavorful. My only gripe is that I wished they added more meat. I'll ask for extra next time.
- Very convenient for Seattle CenterCCBacchusVIPDined on 10/31/2014Some good lamb dishes, some interesting wines. Very close and easy to get to for McCaw Hall.Special Features:
- Should be better known.decanoVIPDined on 10/30/2014Mashawi serves excellent Middle Eastern food at reasonable prices. Service is courteous and efficient. The location could not be more convenient for events at Seattle Center (McCaw Hall, the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Key Arena). I am surprised that the restaurant is often lightly patronized. If you want satisfaction and value and are a little tired of the "Oh, aren't we cool?" atmosphere at places like Toulouse Petit and Collections Cafe, come to Mashawi!Special Features:
- OkayCharlieZVIPDined on 10/29/2014I had the lamb kabob, they were good. My spouse had the lamb couscous, okay. The service was rushed and there were open tables. Not so sure we will be back. It's a shame as we need good restaurants near McCaw Hall. We're there for two subscription series events.Special Features:
- Excellent Neighborhood GemEatOutOftenVIPDined on 10/25/2014Food is excellent in this small quiet neighborhood gem. I have been there many times for lunch. This was our first dinner there. Service is quick & food is top notch. We went before the Opera & they are very conscious of getting you there one time. We will be returning!Special Features:
- Good Lebanese foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/22/2014I've been to several Lebanese or other middle eastern restaurants. Many are average, but this one stands out because the dishes have more flavor. My only gripe is that their Shawarma is not offered as a sandwich for dinner.Special Features:
- Good Lebonese FoodAutumnVIPDined on 10/16/2014This is my second time at Mashawi, and both times we have a great meal. The menu is vegetarian friendly, the food is well prepared, and the service is friendly. This time two of us split the mezze plate which came with all the usual middle-eastern small plates. All were very good (and garlicky). I especially liked the baba ganouj, cauliflower, and falafel. The only down side was one of our wine selections. The Lebonese wine was actually good - the WA state Cab was awful.Special Features:
- Excellent Foodlinbro57Dined on 10/14/2014I was in the Seattle area on business and this restaurant was close to the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent food and service. Everything was very good. The meals include both soup and salad and the soup was a very tasty lentil soup. The salad had a light, fruity vinaigrette that was also excellent. I ordered the prawns skewer and they were done to perfection. The main dish was served with a saffron rice, vegetables and hummus. Their pita bread was also excellent. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely return to this restaurant!Special Features:
- Ethnic and very tastyBillymcVIPDined on 9/27/2014We were en route to a concert, and looking for something unusual. The Mashawi fit the bill with both soup and salad included with ample tasty entrees to savor. The prices were very good, and service got everyone fed on time before their shows (allow 90 mins).Special Features:
- ALWAYS DELICIOUS4eatsDined on 9/27/2014I'm working my way through the menu. If you're not up to a big meal of soup, salad, big main dish with lots of rice, then have two appetizers and the soup and you'll be quite satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre Aussie Floyd showDrewskiDiningDined on 9/19/2014If you like Mediterranean, this is the place. The owner is the chef and the babaganouj was the best I've had; smokey and smooth. The kibby meatballs and tzatziki were fantastic and the main course of lamb shwarma was more than filling and reasonably priced, but the lamb was a bit tough and and gristly. Restrooms are very spacious and clean, as well. We will definitely dine here again, and only one street over from McCaw Hall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An old standby returnsILoveFrenchCuisineDined on 9/5/2014This restaurant reminded me of the old Mediterranean Kitchen restaurant that used to be here. The food is delicious, especially the chicken wings.Special Features:
- Great wood fire grill & flavorsOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/5/2014I loved the orange spice iced tea. All the wood-fire entrees were amazing. They also provided a tasty lentil soup and a simple salad with each meal.Special Features:
- Great Mediterranean FoodAutumnVIPDined on 8/23/2014We made last minute reservations at Mashawi because we were attending an event at McCaw Hall. We were very pleased at the quantity and quality of the food. 3 of us ordered the Vegetarian Combo dinner, and 1 ordered a chicken dish. All meals came with a delicious yellow split pea soup, followed by a green salad with a very garlicky dressing, then followed by our entrees - which were substantial. All the food was tasty and fresh - I especially liked the falafel, hummus, and baba ganouj on my Vegetarian Combo plate. The wine list was so-so because they featured wines from Lebanon and Macedonia. Good try - but wine was OK.Special Features:
- DeliciousEyaGDined on 8/23/2014We have been here many times and are never disappointed. The food is very tasty and the servings generous, you may have enough to take home for a meal the next day! Everyone we have recommended to try Mashawi has enjoyed their meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, nice atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014If you like Middle Eastern food, or would like to try it, this restaurant is a real gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 41 reviews are from the Mashawi Mediterranean Cuisine reviews archive.
- Excellent food and great service.sallyvonbutaneDined on 7/19/2014I love this restaurant. I'm so happy we tried it. We will definitely return and it was a pleasure eating both vegetarian and meat food that was so perfectly prepared.Special Features:
- Save room for the BaklawachloeVIPDined on 7/10/2014Second time dining here and it was just as delicious. The service is great, portions are filling, everything was full of flavor. The Mashawi Combination was prefect, as we were able to sample a nice assortment of items. Definitely save room for dessert!Special Features:
- Always Reliable4eatsDined on 6/6/2014Mashawi is consistently good. I'm working my way through the menu and have enjoyed everything I have had, except for the spicy salmon. It was a tad too spicy for me,Special Features:
- Great foodLobstahboyVIPDined on 5/31/2014Food was memorable. Get the Mezza appetizer. A taste of several dishes. Hummus and falafel were tasty. The Mediterranean salad was excellent. The lemon chicken on top made the salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious dinner before concertOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/30/2014We truly enjoyed our experience! The waiter decided for us what to get and everything was delicious! We started with the mezza and then shared one lamb and one chicken dish. It was full of flavor and some of the best Lebanese food I have had in awhile. We will be sure to return whenever we are near the Seattle center!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding FoodSomeoneSomewhereVIPDined on 5/29/2014You have to try the fried cauliflower appetizer. Spectacular. (And everything else is great as well, except for street parking, which is pretty close to nonexistent.)Special Features:
- Great before the performanceb4theshowDined on 5/17/2014The food is tasty and well prepared and they do their very best to serve everyone on a schedule to accommodate attending a nearby performance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QwkslvrcatDined on 5/17/2014Love the food, hate the service! 2nd time here before Opera; may not go again unless there's no Center event. Service was sooooo slow! Sitting 10 min. before waitress showed up. At least able to give dinner order with beverage order. Dinner came, said would bring the pita, never did. Realize most patrons were pre-opera so busy till 7, then would die but knowing that, you'd think they would have more help, at least for an hour. Noticed service to the tables on either side was more timely. Had to wave waitress down for the check. She never came back once entree served; would likely have had another glass of wine (plus the bread). The couscous w/the lamb shank wasn't very good, tasted like cardboard. Lamb shank excellent!Special Features:
- Excellent foodthelaurenVIPDined on 4/5/2014Very good food for a very reasonable price. Also a great location for attending anything at the Seattle Center. Service was good and food was authentic Arabic cuisine. The Mesa, which was a large sampling of all sorts of appetizer's was very good . Portions are large.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good mealEatsVIPDined on 4/4/2014Soup, salad and a healthy delicious meal is consistently served every time I frequent this wonderful little restaurant. The fresh ingredients, sauces and spices create the best home cooked meals. This little gem is tucked between many other restaurants across from the McCaw Hall parking lot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatJosephDined on 3/30/2014Always a good meal served by friendly and helpful staff.Special Features:
- ALWAYS A GOOD EXPERIENCE4eatsDined on 3/15/2014Dining at Mashawi is always convenient before events at McCaw Hall, Seattle Rep, Cornish Playhouse , Seattle Children's Theatre or Key Arena. Make a reservation for 5:30 and you'll easily be out by 7 p.m. to make your event. Staff is speedy, efficient and pleasant. I'm working my way through the menu and still have about half of it to go. WARNING: Dinners come with SOUP AND SALAD. So if you don't have a big appetite, just order the main dish. Or two appetizers and a soup are a FULL MEAL. ENJOYSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pre theatre winnertitchmomVIPDined on 3/1/2014We went to this restaurant because of its proximity to Seattle Center. The food was terrific and the wait staff was very helpful. We had huge portions and I took the waiter's recommendation and ordered what he suggested between my two finalists. Couldn't have been happier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Before the Performanceb4theshowDined on 2/26/2014This is a good restaurant for a good meal, tasty dishes that are not heavy at all, before a performance at the nearby Seattle Center. They have nice wines to go with dinner and the place is fine for a conversations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Mediterranean FoodSomeoneSomewhereVIPDined on 2/16/2014Lots of food, all very good. The main courses look a tad pricey, but they include lentil soup and a salad... and the portions are big enough to share, or to have lunch with the next day.Special Features:
- awesome authentic Mediteranean fareYanniDined on 2/15/2014We were pleasantly surprised at how authentic the food was on our first visit. We'll be back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything was good exceptOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 2/5/2014Everything was good except for the grape leaves...those were taken out of can and served on a plate (disappointing!). The grilled items and the Salmon were nicely prepared. The Tabboule and appetizers were excellent. The Kibbe balls were exquisite.Special Features:
- Wonderful foodNorCalGalVIPDined on 2/4/2014We knew nothing about this little restaurant other than it was close to our hotel. What a wonderful surprise. The food was wonderful, and oh so flavorful! The portions are huge, better for sharing with a group, and had we known when we ordered we would have shared an entree as you get a full meal - soup and salad. We will return the next time we are in Seattle.Special Features:
- Overwhelmed on Opera NightOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/25/2014This might be a wonderful place when it's not too busy. But I'm guessing that for the number of people arriving for dinner at 6 pm, they had one or two too few wait staff and maybe the same in the kitchen. if they couldn't handle the number of people showing up before an opera on a Saturday night, they shouldn't take so many reservations; our service was slow, and the food just wasn't up to par. Filling the restaurant to over-capacity wasn't the best tactic in this case.
- Opera goers--This is your spot!LizzyDined on 1/25/2014My husband and I appreciate fresh food, well prepared. That describes our dining experience at Mashawi Mediterranean Restaurant. I love the variety on the menu. Each dish is seasoned specially and there is obvious care in presentation. We are planning to return for my husband's birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Called to cancel the reservationTinaDined on 1/25/2014No liquor license yes even though there are three search terms listed with the word "bar." In my book, that's misleading. Also, asked abut arriving at the 1/4 hour (only hour and 1/2 available in your system) and got a rather panicked response stating "We are pretty busy; you know there are two shows tonight in Seattle Center!" But isn't that normal for a restaurant located a block from the center?? Please do not count my Food, Ambiance, and Noise ratings! Your system made me add those.

Maple sugar makers point to snow, temps
Maple tapping at The Rocks Estate in Bethlehem last season, New Hampshire sugarmakers are predicting this year's maple season will likely be even better than last due to the prolonged winter weather. (COURTESY)
"We never know until the season is over, but so far the signs are good," said Lucien Blais, who owns Bisson's Sugar House in Berlin with his wife, Muriel Blais.
"We've had a good amount of snow, but not too much," he said. "Usually by the end of March is the peak of our season."
A good season will last four to six week and relies on temperatures in the 20s at night and the 40s during the day. Last year's sugar season seemed to start off well, but ended in only two weeks when temperatures soared to the 80s in March.
"Last year by the end of March, the season was pretty much over," said Blais, who has 2,800 taps.
New Hampshire Maple Syrup Producers Association Promotions Director Brad Presby is optimistic about this year.
"We've had good snow coverage for much of the winter, which results in a later start of maple flow and a longer duration of the yield," he said Monday in a written statement. "Last year, most maple producers were down by about 50 percent. This year, we hope to not only get back up to 100 percent, but surpass that; and in fact, many sugar shacks have expanded their operations this season."
So far up north, the sap isn't running yet said Blais and Stephen Tilton of Tilton's Sugar
House in Groveton.
"We're hoping it's going to be a good season. Snowing up here right now, matter of fact," Tilton said. "It could be a very good year with the weather we're getting, but it's hard to say right now."
Dave Fuller of Fuller's Sugar House in Lancaster taps more than 9,500 trees, boils more than 160,000 gallons of maple sap to produce more than 4,000 gallons of maple syrup a season. He is predicting the sap is going to start running up north by the end of the week, Tilton said.
In southern New Hampshire, the sap is already flowing.
Dave Richards of Grant Family Pond View Maples in Weare said since he started tapping on Feb. 21, he has already produced half of what the 112-year-old family business did during last year's season.
"It's looking good right now down here; we've got plenty of snow. I'd really like to see some colder temperatures at night," he said.
Tilton is hoping to increase his taps from 1,150 to 4,000, he said.
"We started back in 2000 just outside in the back yard with fifty pails - me and my father - and over the years it just gets more and more and more," Tilton said.
Like most small operations, Tilton works during the day and boils sap in his sugar house to make the syrup at night. The purchase of a reverse osmosis machine a few years ago has reduced boiling time about 75 percent, so he can get some sleep during the sugaring season.
"Technology has completely revolutionized the maple industry; the changes in the last 25 years are just incredible," Blais said.
His 92-year-old, third-generation family business uses a reverse osmosis machine as well as vacuum taps that keep the sap flowing through freezes and thaws, and can help a sugar operation survive a bad season like last year.
"Vacuum has done for maple syruping what manmade snow did for skiing," Blais said.
This year's 18th annual New Hampshire Maple Weekend is March 23 and 24.

For the past five years, Britain has been a haven of political and economic stability amid the turbulence in Europe. No longer.
For the past five years, Britain has been a haven of political and economic stability amid the turbulence in Europe. No longer.
Get ready for a "melt-up."
Back in mid-October, as stock markets around the world plunged faster than at any time since 2011, many investors and economists feared a meltdown. But with the U.S. economy steadily expanding, monetary and fiscal policies becoming more stimulative in other parts of the world and the autumn season for financial crises now over, a melt-up seems far more likely.
Is gridlocked government a betrayal of democracy? Or does it allow citizens to get on with their lives and businesses, unencumbered by meddlesome politicians?
Now that the Federal Reserve has brought its program of quantitative easing to a successful conclusion, while the French and German governments have ended their shadow-boxing over European budget "rules," macroeconomic policy all over the world is entering a period of unusual stability and predictability. Rightly or wrongly, the main advanced economies have reached a settled view on their economic policy choices and are very unlikely to change these in the year or two ahead, whether they succeed or fail. It therefore seems appropriate to consider what we can learn from all the policy experiments conducted around the world since the 2008 crisis.
Europe is at a make or break moment. Two very different events on Sunday, occurring at opposite ends of Europe, will largely determine the entire continent's direction for years ahead: the parliamentary election in Ukraine and the bank "stress tests" and Asset Quality Review conducted by the European Central Bank. Before explaining the significance of these two events, and their unexpected linkage, I need to mention a third announcement, due next Wednesday: the European Commission's verdict on the budget for 2015 submitted last week by the French government.
What's spooking the markets?
One thing we can say for sure is that it is not the slightly weaker-than-expected retail sales that triggered the mayhem on Wall Street on Wednesday morning. Most U.S. economic data have actually been quite strong in the month since Wall Street peaked on Sept. 19.
Following the grim market response to European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's latest monetary policy pronouncements, Europe is approaching another make-or-break moment comparable to the crisis of 2012. The summer quarter ended this week, and financial markets delivered their judgment on just how bad things are, pushing the euro down to its lowest level since September 2012. Europe's quarterly stock market performance was the worst since the nadir of the euro crisis. The question is whether the miserable summer will give way to a milder autumn. Or whether the summer squalls will turn into a catastrophic tempest.
Astonishing as it was to contemplate the breakup of Europe's most stable nation-state threatened by last week's Scottish referendum, we now have an even more extraordinary possibility. In the days since the Scottish voters rejected secession 55 percent to 45 percent, a new threat has suddenly appeared to blight Britain's political and economic prospects for years ahead. It now looks like Britain may be dissolved by one rogue opinion poll.
The war in eastern Ukraine, which has had more impact on the European economy than any news coming out of Frankfurt or Brussels, appears to be ending. Despite the sporadic attacks that have wrecked previous ceasefire attempts.
