Terra Plata
Online Reservations
We went out with a small birthday group for my partners birthday. I was amazing food, service and everyone had a great time! Have already and will recommend Terra Plata to others for sure!
they added a happy birthday greeting on the menus for my wife's birthday. but no candle in the dessert.
Fresh baked blackberry scones, rooftop brunch and a nice selection of dishes to choose from, ranging from a heavy biscuits and gravy to a lighter baked egg and kale. Attentive but not imposing service, very accommodating to our questions.
We were meeting up with friends that live abroad and wanted to show them Seattle's great culinary scene but also a lovely neighborhood spot. Given the great summer we have had, we also wanted to dine outside. Terra Plata fit the bill and was also convenient to a pre dinner drink of wine at Ferdinand the Wine Bar in Melrose Market. The restaurant was very gracious, service excellent and our food was delicious. I need to return for my own portion of the delicious things my friends were eating!
Excellent dinner, (charcuterie plate and water buffalo burgers) and the ambiance on the rooftop deck was unbelievable! They light the candles and fire pit right as the sun is setting - beautiful! Also, they dropped one of our plates and came and told us right away, brought us a free appetizer to tide us over, and then gave us a free round of drinks! We might not had even known what had happened since it didn't seem like we waited that long. I appreciate their honesty and willingness to fix a mistake - Bravo Terra Plata! Simply a great dining experience!!
I love Terra Plata. If you happen to snag a table on the deck...great for you. You will love it and it is heated, so you don't have to worry about getting a chill as fall approaches. However downstairs the floor-ceiling windows open up, so there is an amazing outdoor dining room feel to the room. The food is lovely and the menu changes to go with the seasons, which is typical of a restaurant like this in Seattle. Great snacks at the bar and wine by the glass list...nice vegetarian-no pork options too. Parking is a problem, but there are pay lots nearby if you find nothing on the street.
Nice rooftop deck. Great waitstaff. Music didn't fit setting or customers-- at times rap, electronic-- unpleasant. Food tasty but overpriced. (Duck breast entree was a disappointing portion size at $30.) Peach appetizer a winner.
We have been finding ourselves going to Terra Plata more and more lately and always enjoying it. Although we have been a number of times over the last few years, we just keep recommending it more and more lately. The upstairs open-air seating is so pleasant, and the main floor seating is very nice as well. We just live a few blocks away and use it for an impromptu mid-week dinner, out of town guests, and for an evening with our 'foodie' friends. Its all good
It was Superb! Nice to have the owner/chef on the outdoor grill right next to us!
Elements of many different genres very effectively mixed - vegetarian, locavore, Northwest cuisine, and a bit of European "nouvelle cuisine" flair. This chef's concepts do not fit easily into more traditional menu structures, and I can see why she would do best at her own location, with full creative control. The dishes are complex but not contrived, and the ingredients and preparation are impeccable. Service was attentive, despite being very crowded (and a bit noisy) on a summer Friday. But the quality of the food is most definitely worth it - that's what's drawing the crowds. My wife, a foodie and accomplished cook herself, felt this to be one of the best 2 or 3 meals we've had in recent years - high praise from her indeed.
We ate up on the roof top and it was fabulous. The food was the best that we have ever had at Terra Plata. So many fresh herbs and great combinations of vegetables and fruits. The ambiance was perfect for a summer evening. I will definitely eat up there again.
After a few months of snooty servers, all is good now. The food and service are very good and the menu changes often enough to offer variety to returning guests.
I loved the European feel of not being rushed out of our table. Our group of 8 were allowed to sit all evening, ordering as we went along, savoring all the deliciousness without feeling that they were waiting for us to leave. Every dish was exquisite, every wine perfectly complementing it. Servers were knowledgeable about pairings. If I lived in Seattle I would eat there at least once a week. Roasted bone marrow.....yuuuumm!
We had a delicious lunch that accomodated a range of diners (super healthy/vegetarian to meat-lover). Nice ambiance and not too noisy for our older guests.
This is a restaurant that has great food, but its seats are a little squished into the space, which has an awkward, triangular shape.
This was our first but not our last visit to Terra Plata. Everything was as a good dining experience should be. We're casual diners who do not rush through our wine and food. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. At no point did we feel like we on the clock. The food was superb--menu varied and servings ample. As all these reviews attest, do dine upstairs atop the roof if possible if only to witness the chef snipping herbs from just beyond table's reach. We'll be back.
Ate on the deck for the first time... Fantastic. I checked, "kid friendly" not because they have a kids' menu, but they are friendly to kids and I jyst bring a sandwich along for our daughter.
Loved sitting on the deck. Gorgeous, casual setting. My halibut was outstanding. A bit expensive, but the service was great & the food is really delicious.
It was my wife's birthday and they rolled out the red carpet for us, with a personalized menu wishing her a happy birthday. The food was exceptional and the staff was great.
Food was excellent! Ryan was our server, one of the best servers I have experienced in a long time. Wonderful roof top dinning...thank you for a wonderful evening!
At brunch, both the green chile pork and the cheese grits were excellently prepared: the mix of ingredients and the proportions of ingredients in both were just right so that they were really flavorful. The cheese grits were easily the best I've had since The Square in Oxford, Mississippi, and that is high praise!
The food is amazing!. Great service and great menu.
Our first visit to Terra Plata, we had a wonderful time and our birthday girl was surprised to see her name on the menu. Our waitress was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the menu and how the food was prepped and served. One of our guests needed a allergy request and food for her was met with ease. The owners were friendly and visited tables which we enjoyed meeting. We really liked the concept of sharing plates and getting to taste a little of everything we ordered. Great experience and will definitely return.
From the moment of arrival, the attention to detail was superb. Our waiter offered terrific recommendations. Our group of six shared a multitude of plates from appetizers to entrees to desserts. It was a wonderful evening!
What a delightful experience we had at Terra Plata for lunch mid-week. The space is gorgeous, our server was charming and very accommodating, and the food was fantastic. Great ambiance, and it was nice and quiet the day we were there. This could be because there were only about ten people dining. I am curious to see how loud it is when full of people. In any case, I can't wait to go back. Aside from being difficult to impossible to park, I found everything about Terra Plata pleasing, right down to the shape of their beer glasses. Rustic meets classy meets eclectic meets hip meets friendly. Loved it.
I was happy to see that the menu was largely about small plates to be shared between people, and there were many vegetarian options for small plates. My partner and I ordered the lentil soup, rapini with fried egg and peppers, and the mushroom crespini. All were very good, and not the typical vegetarian fare you find at most restaurants. For dessert we had the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, and that ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Neither the crisp nor the ice cream were overly sweet, which made it a very nice finish to a very delightful meal.
Triangular restaurant with glass on two long sides is well-lit even on a rainy day. The food was inventive and delicious although the waitstaff struggled to get the order right, and there was a long wait between appetizer and entree. Options abound for carnivores and vegetarians. There are many choices for wine by the glass, craft cocktails and local microbrews. I'd happily try again, although not if I was limited for time.
My husband and I dined here before going to a play. The food was good and fresh, and we can't praise the service enough. Servers were attentive, kept our water glasses full, and were sensitive to our time constraints. We loved the lighting and all of the wood in the decor - it made the whole place feel warm. After sharing four plates and desert, we left feeling satisfied but not bogged down. The food was both delicious and healthy. We will definitely be back!
This crew gets it right every time. Have been here over and over and always enjoy and bring new people. Thank you.
Amazing food. Started with blistered peppers, yummy. Great duck and hangar steak entrées with interesting accompaniments. Seasonal fresh food, carefully prepared.
took a New Yorker foodie to dinner. We were both impressed by the creativity of the dishes. Will I remember the dishes? I think so. Place got very noisy which is hard on us boomers. Great service. I'll be back.
This menu is inventive and delicious. We enjoyed the house-made potato chips with delicious creamy dip as an appetizer. The dates wrapped in ham were an extra special treat. The risotto was creamy, had great texture, and tasted wonderful. Salmon and halibut dishes were delicious, as well, with great complimentary sides. Friendly prompt service and good cocktails topped off a great meal. Knowing everything was fresh. organic or wild, and locally sourced just enhanced the experience.
Initially made reservations there because a friend suggested it as being a good restaurant near a theater we were going to last night. And I heard the chef from Brasa, one of my favorite old restaurants, was there. Then we heard it was very small portions for a lot of money and people were still hungry after dinner... but we still wanted to check it out. And I am very glad we did!! The brussel sprouts were excellent- would go back just for those!! I had the halibut and it was fantastic as well!! . I liked the staff too -very friendly and attentive. My only complaint was the seating- tables very close together -both parties on the sides of us could hear our conversation- didn't feel comfortable discussing everything.
Our friends met us at Terra Plata for dinner when they came to Seattle from San Francisco. We could not stopping talking the moment we saw each other again. The waitress never rushed us to order and gave us plenty of time to catch up. The food was excellent. My friends were very happy that we picked this excellent restaurant.
Great restaurant. Wine list was exceptional and the food was interesting and very good.
Terra Plata is one of my very favorite Seattle restaurants. I especially like it as a place to meet up with friends, share several plates, and catch up. The food is always fantastic, and the restaurant lends itself to easy conversation. I especially like the range of small plates; it's easy to create a filling family style meal with several of the small plates.
Second time at terra plata and loved everything from the salad niciose, eggs benedict and steaming hot tea. It has a friendly earthy atmosphere. Will be back again ifor sure.
the food was delicious. thoughtful flavor combinations and great attention to vegetables that are usually not given much notice. instead of just the usual roasted brussels sprouts, it's roasted sprouts with maple syrup, preserved lemon brine, and serrano ham. really fantastic. service was excellent. only drawback is that it's capitol hill and there is very limited parking if one does not live within walking distance.
Terra Plata was recommended to me by a friend recently. We arrived an hour early but that didn't create a problem. Enjoyed special cocktails first then on to appetizers and main course. Wine list offered choices we hadn't encountered before and in fact had a wine that I would like to buy since it was superb. Only problem with this restaurant is the fact that it's not in my neighborhood.
Terra Plata is a Seattle gem - a gem my partner and I enjoy visiting at every opportunity. If you haven't tried it - do yourself a favor and visit very soon. You will not be disappointed.
The paella was fantastic! I ordered a white wine flight that was fair, not superb. I recommend the Apple cake. The decor & ambience were just right. Highly recommend.
Met 2 friends here for lunch. Food was great! Server was great! He was helpful in describing the food and wine. We will definitely be back.
Had a fantastic shared-plate dinner with 4 girlfriends last Friday night. Everything we ordered was FANTASTIC. Perfectly prepared and delicious! Service was swift and professional. Will return again soon with my husband and family. Thank you.
Delicious Food with great atmosphere. Always walk away satisfied but not overly full. Love this restaurant. Good for small groups.
Terra Plata is always a wonderful experience- we've been there a handful of times and there is always something new and exciting to try. The staff is lovely, the restaurant also is lovely, and the food is quite outstanding. the only negative I have to provide is that although the claim is made that this is "for sharing" food, if you come here with 4 people, the portions for some plates not quite big enough to share a plate successfully all around- i.e., we got 3 scallops on a plate to share with 4 people, that's rather awkward. I love sharing plates and trying more things, but I think if you are going to charge the prices they do, the plates need to be a bit better right-size for the party.
Wonderful ambiance, great food, superb service! Michael, one of the server assistants was tremendous-courteous, efficient, nice smile.
Both the food and service was outstanding. This is a repeat visit to Terra Plata and our experience was consistent with our former visits.
Tamara has done it again, great food with care to quality.
Been here twice. Never disappointed. Great accommodating staff. Great for my foodie friends. Nice sharing plates.
I have to admire how this restaurant is fearlessly inventive; it makes it a real pleasure to dine here. The roasted cauliflower anchoiade shows detailed thoughtfulness in its preparation, for example.

One of the most distinct features of the 2012 Presidential election was the polling wars that took place. The copious amounts of data seemed to tell two completely different stories. The first was that President Obama would handedly win the election by a significant amount while the other side showed former Governor Romney delivering a victory by the smallest of margins. The division on how to read the polls caused quite a stir among the Right and the Left. Well…in all reality neither sides forecast was quite that accurate with the exception of NY Time's blogger, Nate Silver whose probability model accurately predicted the results in 50 of 50 states as well as the margin of victory.
What makes Silver so special is that he is what is known as a sabermetrician, not your standard political polling operative. According to Wikipedia, Sabermetrics is the technique of "specialized analysis of baseball through objective evidence, especially baseball statistics that measure in-game activity." He has adopted these SABR techniques and uniquely fit them to prediction models which are far more accurate than those presently used by standard polling agencies. Below is an article from Foreign Policy which highlights the effects sabermetrics are going to have political polling and how Silver successfully pioneered this innovation in the world of politics. Very interesting read if you are curious as to what happened.
Before Billy Bean and the sabermetric revolution upended baseball and ushered in a new era of statistically driven baseball analysis, old-timers insisted that the young eggheads and their spreadsheets were no match for a time-worn scout. Experience, gut feeling, and a sense of the intangible qualities that make up a quality prospect — these were the things that the old guard argued could never be captured by an Excel spreadsheet, let alone a statistical model.
By and large, they were wrong, and Billy Bean's scrappy Oakland Athletics squads showed that the so-called eggheads could see further into the future and with greater clarity than had previously been thought possible.The same statistical revolution that changed baseball has now entered American politics, and no one has been more successful in popularizing a statistical approach to political analysis than New York Times blogger Nate Silver, who of course cut his teeth as a young sabermetrician. And on Nov. 6, after having faced a torrent of criticism from old-school political pundits — Washington's rough equivalent of statistically illiterate tobacco chewing baseball scouts — the results of the presidential election vindicated Silver's approach, which correctly predicted the electoral outcome in all 50 states. [...]
If the GOP was smart they would approach Silver and offer him triple the salary that the Times is currently paying him and get him to head up their polling operation. It would be a first and great step to catching up the with the Democrats.

I bought all 4 when they were special priced...I have wanted gemstone necklaces for years. The round beads never did it for me. These are fabulous....I wear them with other gemstone pendants, with pearls, with gold pendants. I don't care that they aren't perfect stones....they are great to wear. I am going for rings that I don't already have, and will think about the earrings. I have the teardrop red and blue pinkie rings, and the red teardrop earrings....so I am filling in the sets. Wonderful job....BB, Wpg.

Just right!
By maggie
from newmarket, ontario
That's a lot of gemstone weight in that necklace.Rich in colour (I bought the ruby) and just the right length. I love it! It does 'spin' around a bit on your neck, but who cares!?
Beautiful necklace
By mj
from NT
I got the multi color. The necklace is beautiful with one complaint - it does not lie flat and I have to keep adjusting it. Will keep it though as it is very pretty.
By Slim
from Welland Ont.
A beautiful piece, the colours were vibrant but unfortunately had to return it. Because it didn't lie flat on the neck, found that I was always trying to fix it.
By Lydia
from Laval,Quebec
I am very happy with my necklace , the colours are so easily assorted to all that one can wear. I have only received compliments the day I wore it. I do indeed have one thing that I am not fond about and its that it has a tendency to turn instead of staying in place where all the stones can be seen. I still am very satisfied with my buy.

How much Power Inverter should you have?
If the label of your electrical appliance does not show the Watt but you know the Amp (A),
you can calculate the Watt with following formula:
Ampere (A) x Volt * (V) = Watt
(*230 Volt Europe, 240 Volt Australia, 110 Volt America)
All Television Sets, Monitors, Notebooks, Coolers, Pumps, Machine Tools and many further inductive devices have an extremely high short term starting current.
If your TV equipment indicated an output of 150 Watt, the starting current can be up to 10 times.
This would mean that you must select a Power Inverter, which can accept a short term maximum performance of 1500 Watt.

Question for those who still eat cooked food from time to time or remember their transition period: what symptoms do you get from eating cooked food? Not SAD but low fat and vegan foods.
i had been raw vegan for about a month when i cooked up some steamed potatoes with a lil sea salt and pepper on it, i was sick to my stomach. probably the salt and pepper more than the potatoes but everyone is different. As of now even if i eat low fat vegan food i dont feel well at all and always seem to get a bit of a cold when i eat it....so i just dont eat cooked food now! the important thing is to listen to your body, and when we are lfrv its a lot easier to hear what its saying!
Yes, isn't it strange with that feeling of catching a cold? I can't remember where I heard or read that the body produces more white blood cells when we eat cooked foods in order to boost the immune-system (because the body feels there is something in it that's not supposed to be there perhaps?). Have no references though. Anyone heard about it?
I agree that 100% raw works best for interpreting the bodys signals
I have read that as well..but can't remember! I'm quite sure it is in one of DG's books, either 80/10/10 or Nutrition and athletic performance ;)..maybe the latter..
I don't know about effected but it sure it affected me :)
Felt a lot more sluggish, stomach felt rock bottom full. Calisthenic strength and hydration went down a lot.
That's pretty much it.
What cooked food did you eat?
Pretty much gluten pasta, buckwheat, potatoes, and rice.
For me my ears feel a bit gummed up, my sinuses a bit inflamed and my tinnitus is more noticeable. My belly can feel bloated too. I can also get a metallicy taste in my mouth and a bit of body odour. These symptoms will all intensify if I persist in eating a cooked meal a day on consecutive days.
I also get a heavy feeling in my legs....definite lack of spring in my step!
All this is pretty obvious to me right now as yesterday I chose to have steamed rice and thai stir fried veg for dinner as I was undercarbed and ravenous after uni and didnt want to wait for food till I got home 45 mins later.... :s
the tinnitus, metal taste, bloating all sounds like symptoms I had from dental metal in my mouth. You could be heavy metal toxic, which is what could ultimately causing the symptoms. (HM's react severely w/ certain foods, too.)
Hi Morgan
thanks for the thought. I certainly have a mouth full of amalgam fillings and have contemplated having them removed but have not done much more than that....last time I discussed it with friends the cost seemed prohibitive. Perhaps it is time to look into it again.
We are a very mercury toxic family. .. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. I have resources/info or can find anything you need.
Are you in the states? If so, and for anyone in the states interested, here is a search engine for finding a mercury-safe (mercury-free) dentist in your area: http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/freeservices/find_dentists.html
Wherever you're at, I could find something similar, if you need.
We've had an array of autoimmune conditions, depression, anxiety, digestive troubles and my sons have had vaccine injuries and are mercury toxic (aka, my son has autism).
It's a big deal getting the crud out. (Meaning, detoxifying - not just getting the amalgams out, -they're both very important.) Fortunately this is a cheap and easy way to do it: (This is Andy Cutler's chelation/detox protocol.): http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html#agents
Here is the Yahoo forum discussion group for it: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/adult-metal-chelation/
Here is a good article on mercury fillings: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/amalgam.htm
And very sorry to bombard you, but lastly, this is an eye opening video (there are plenty on youtube.):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnQ-T7oiA
(I've just spent a lot of time researching this as my family's been so sick.) We're getting better, though, but you need to get the fillings out first.. then chelate. My autoimmune symtpoms diminished by about 85%, a week after getting my dental implant removed. My husband had the same experience when he got his mercury fillings out about 3 mos ago.
All the best!!
thanks for the info morgan! I appreciate it. Will check it out and organise a consult to get further info. I live in Australia (Melbourne).
The big thing about most cook LFV food fro me is it tempts the salt on to the table. The white stuff does as much damage as the food. Weight gain/bloating, puffy face, constipation and sluggish. Hate it when I run out of ripe fruit.

This climbs an arete on the east face. This arete is obvious from the fork. This is a great climb that protects well. The crux is definitely the 1st bolt. Clipped high it is a safe overhang to fall on. The smooth face above is tricky but not too hard. The flake gives you a nice natural place to protect. My first ascent, I zipped right past the flake, jonesing on the chains. Aretes always add a degree of mental difficulty to me and this was no exception.
2 chains atop for anchors and 3 draws. Bring medium nuts or a cam for the flake before the chains. I documented this as a trad route but it could be a sport route with a long runout at the end.
Coral Bells is a short, but interesting route. The first bolt is clipped easily enough, but pulling past it requires a tricky, left heel-hook sequence. The route then becomes a classic BCC smedging effort. A flake on the east face after bolt 3 will protect with any number of smaller cams, after which the climbing is much easier. Overall, this is an unusually technical, rewarding climb.
a high step is also available to move past the first bolt.
Good climb. A little funky getting to that second bolt. There are a plethora of approaches used to pass it. I used a weird side pull on the north side of the arete. My partner just reached way up there and grabbed a high hold on the arete. Either way, its a mighty fine climb. Suggest backing up first bolt with blue metolius.
The three bolts on this route have been yanked and replaced by 100% Grade A Beef courtesy of Mike White's help and ASCA. They were all spinners....but they were hard to get out....testimony to the longevity of old 20 year old bolts in BCC. At least they are confidence inspiring and no need for backing up the first one as previously mentioned. Thanks again for the spontaneous rally, Mike!
Did this climb tonight and there are 4 more bolts that continue up the face/arette. More of the same 5.8-5.9 climbing. Makes it a little more interesting and not so short for beginners.
The extension is Moral Bells Arete.
did this route free solo today, pretty intense...i choose to reach around the arete for the juggy right then work my feet up as high as i can and lunge for the small but extremely positive ledge below the second bolt, pretty smooth after that. the run-out section after the third bolt goes well if you use the arete properly, moral bells extension is all pretty positive and plenty well protected, 5.8ish but adds length to an already fun climb!
The first move is pretty beefy, getting over that roof. I hooked a heel on the right side, then pulled up to the chalked up hold near the second bolt. My partner found a high toe jib that suited him well.
Love this route! An orange Metolius TCU can be used to protect the moves to the chains.
Great route. Do the extension!
Should have read the comments better before leading. I didn't bring any pro and after the 3rd bolt I wished I had something to place under the small ledge below the chains. A fall going over this would get you close to the ground if your belayer came off the ground. Thankfully the holds get significantly better at and above the ledge so it isn't a dealbreaker if you don't have any trad gear on you. Maybe only a problem for a novice like me.
Missing some scarpa feroces (size 10, red white and black). Last seen beneath coral bells arete/chambered nautilus. Reward for their recovery (beer, or slurpee if finder is LDS) shoot me an email.
0.5 camalot for the flake set well. Love the start!
That second bolt! Hot damn! Runout at the top, although easy climbing.

EVERETT, Wash. – Explore 60 years of photography by retired Everett Community College instructor John Lindstrom at EvCC's Russell Day Gallery through March 15.
The "Retrospective" collection includes photographs of ancient relics, athletic action, families, jazz, flowers and vegetables and journalistic photographs taken during the past 60 years.
Lindstrom has been taking photographs since age 12 when his parents gave him a Brownie camera and home darkroom kit. He taught photography from 1966 to 1998 at University of Oregon, University of Florida and Everett Community College, where he retired. His articles and photographs have appeared in newspapers and magazines nationally.
In 1979, Lindstrom began producing fine-arts photographic prints using a brilliant and long-lasting material called Cibachrome.
"His new color work brings photography to a level of refinement similar to that achieved by the Impressionists, who were the first to explore color effects," gallery director Greg Kammer said.
EvCC's Russell Day Gallery is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Fridays. The gallery is closed Saturdays and Sundays.
The gallery is located in Parks Student Union room 219 at Everett Community College, 2000 Tower St.

Voltage to Digital PLC Input Module, DAT6023-V, 4 Channel.
The DATEXEL DAT6000 series is an evolution in the connection of analog signals to digital PLC's.
The DATEXEL DAT6023-V converter four non isolated voltage (up to ± 10 V) signals to a digital PLC.
The DATEXEL DAT6000 series amplifies, linearizes, Isolator, filters and converts the analog signals to a high resolution digital signal, by few and simple instructions. Downloaded into any PLC it is possible to acquire more analog signals on one digital input.
The digital signal can be connected to any input of the PLC. The digital signal is composed of a series of 16 bits "word" containing the value of the analog inputs to acquire. The PLC controls the data transmission by a clock signal (CLK) generated from one of its output ports used to ask the device after the enabling of transmission by the enable signal (ENABLE). If the enable signal is high, at each rising edge of clock, the device will provide on the data line (DATA) one of the bits that composes the reading word.
Every cycle of reading is composed of 1 synchronism bit and 16 bits for each analog signal; this means that every reading is composed of 33 bits.
The rising edge of the ENABLE signal, managed from the controller, resets the cycle of reading and allows to avoid the reading of the unused input channels; the ENABLE signal can be used also to multiplex more devices to the same PLC's digital input.
The 2000 Vac isolation between inputs, power supply and data lines eliminates the effects of all ground loops eventually existing and allows the use of the converter in heavy environmental conditions found in industrial applications. The DAT 6023-V is in compliance with the standard 89/336/CEE on the Electromagnetic Compatibility.
The DATEXEL DAT6000 series is housed in a plastic enclosure of 12.5 mm thickness suitable for DIN rail mounting in compliance with EN-50022 and EN-50035 standards.

of London have discovered a new "canvas." The long stretch of pavement between the top of Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner has, since the completion of the new subway station, become a profitable pitch for artists in crayon and chalk.
One reason for the new "pitch" is that the pavement around there is genuine stone and takes chalk well. Crayon, say the experts, do not bind well on the concrete sidewalks elsewhere.
Another reason is that Knightsbridge is graced by one of the earliest opening coffee-stalls in the city.

Vibrant pink and purple hand~painted flowers are enhanced by a rich frame of cobalt blue with gold accents...quite captivating!
The cup is approximately 3 3/4" in diameter at the rim and 2" in height, while the saucer is 5 5/8" in diameter...
I believe that this may be a master berry bowl and would date this piece to around the 1930's. For those of you familiar with Joan Van Patten's markings for Nippon porcelain, this bowl basically bears her #17 backstamp with the exception that it states "Made In Japan" instead of "Nippon", dating the bowl after the Nippon era...
Ivory / cream in color, each set consists of a two~handled bouillon or soup cup, matching liner or saucer, and matching lid with rosebud finial. Each piece is embellished with a basket~weave styled texturing and rich, gold highlights.
The cups and saucers are hallmarked as shown and all pieces are free of any chips, nicks or cracks...
The set consists of seven pieces...the pot and lid, which measure approximately 9 1/4" in height with the lid seated, and 6 handled cups which are approximately 2 3/4" in height. All of the pieces are in VERY good condition, only a couple of cups with a bit of roughness on the rims.
Contact: Sandy
Here is the history of the set. A friend of mine bought this from the Rosenthal factory in West Germany in either 1958 or 1959 (the pattern was only produced from 1955 to 1959) for her mother as a gift...
Duodecagonal (12~sided) in shape, this piece features the wonderful moriage dragon in the center and is done in the more traditional colors of dragonware. Minute beading along the edge and a small handle complete the presentation...
A spade and vegetables form the handle of this Toby. The gardener is clad in a white shirt. gray jacket, yellow scarf and light brown hat. Hallmarked D6634, this version is the small size, measuring approximately 4" in height...
Hallmarked and numbered D6668 as shown, this jug was designed by Michael Abberley and features jolly old St. Nick clad in his traditional red and white along with a doll standing atop a drum as the handle. It measures 7 1/2" in height and is in EXCELLENT condition.
Contact: Sandy
Produced by Noritake and hallmarked in red with the Morimura "M in Wreath", I would guess that this plate dates to the 30's or 40's when lustreware was quite popular.
Two gold decorated handles complete the look of this cake or service plate. It measures 9 3/4" from handle to handle and is in excellent vintage condition.
Contact: Sandy
With his signature cigar as the handle, this unique Royal Doulton character jug of the beloved Groucho Marx was designed by Stanley J. Taylor. It was issued from 1984 to 1988 and is one of The Celebrity Collection series.
Measuring approximately 7" in height and in beautiful condition, this would be a great addition to any collection.
Contact: Sandy
Designed by Leslie Harradine and Harry Fenton, Sairey was produced from 1935 to 1986. This particular jug is in excellent condition and measures approximately 3 1/4" in height. It is backstamped as shown and bears the Doulton Number D5451...
The version shown here is the second variation and was issued from 1981 to 1994. Designed by Eric Griffiths and measuring 4 1/4" in height, it depicts John Doulton and features the tower of Big Ben as the handle. John Doulton is attired in a black coat with purple collar and sports a yellow cravat while Big Ben is a brown color...

The guest column by Kevin Krajewski has me perturbed! I will not let his opinion stand without a reply.
I am a life member of the National Rifle Association, I'm 84 years old, a Korean War vet and a firearms safety instructor, and I believe in the Constitution of the United States. The Second Amendment of that Constitution is the heart of our rights in this republic.
Krajewski, like many others, is using the Aurora tragedy to further his agenda, which is the removal of all firearms from the hands of private citizens. Never mind that sworn police officers cannot protect us because by definition, they arrive after the fact. They are not clairvoyant. Case in point is the Aurora shootings. The police arrested him after the insane killing and injuries were finished.
I won't go into why this deranged individual obtained firearms. I don't know. According to the news, all weapons were acquired legally.
Unfortunately, just like the police, the sellers were not clairvoyant, either. This was nothing but a case of premeditated murder. I also understand that the theater in question had banned firearms. As a result, not one person had the capability of resisting deadly force with deadly force and stopping this person. The suspect was free to do what he came to do. We all know that what he did is beyond description.
However, because of this deviant's action, we, the NRA members, are all grouped into one category, to quote Krajewski,'a "growlingly reckless gun culture."
I say that is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of respectful NRA members.
We know that the NRA is active in all phases of gun safety. We also know that states that have weapon permits laws have reduced crime. That is a fact. We know that criminals will have guns despite all some 20,000 gun laws presently in effect. That also is a fact.
What seems to be a fact, as noted in Krajewski column, is that he not only is misinformed but that he doesn't trust the honest and lawful citizen. His "sensible" and "reasonable" gun laws don't work and will never work against criminals or would-be criminals. That's why they are criminals.
Again his words "weak and vacillating politicians at the state and federal level" show he has an inherent distrust of the government. Yet he would desire that these elected officials with a trust record of 26 percent legislate guns out of the hands of honest citizens. Evidently, his distrust is limited only to politicians who don't agree with his agenda of more gun laws.
He has the right to his opinion as I, too, have the right to mine. However, as an NRA member, I must speak up.
Wayne A. Doenges
New Haven
This letter is in response to Leonard Goldstein's recent letter entitled, "Leininger biased."
I have for many years enjoyed reading Kevin Leininger's articles in our local newspaper, the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. I find him to be an honest, respectful and considerate conservative columnist whom I agree with the majority of the time.
Over the last 40-plus years, I've enjoyed reading different opinions in "Letters to the Editor." Goldstein has had no problem submitting his left-wing liberal political points of view on numerous occasions. I respect his right of freedom of speech but very rarely agree with his point of view.
My question is what rock has Goldstein been hiding under for the past 50 years. To accuse Leininger of being "biased" because of his conservative views is hypocrisy.
Mr. Goldstein, what about the major news media — CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and CNN? They all are left-wing liberal outlets. Do you threaten them for their political viewpoints?
How about the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette and its left-wing liberal editorials, Mr. Goldstein — are you going to condemn them for their political viewpoints as well?
In conclusion, Leininger and Goldstein both have the right to their opinion; it's called "freedom of speech." Of course, Goldstein comes from the left, and if you don't agree with their point of view, they threaten you. I'm conservative and proud of it!

As a general rule such text will be a ranking factor just as if it appeared on the page, which makes sense considering there are many sites that use this css element to make certain blocks able to be toggled visible or invisible. And that's really the trick for the search engines. They would need to be able to see if there is such a visible trigger that real people can use to make the content visible. Which is easier said than done when you're trying to decipher it within the automated nature of their algorithms.

any images called from the page.
All requested by the same IP & session ID over a short timeframe (2-3 seconds), even items that are cached will be requested.
IF you see a request for a .css file without a preceding page request then it is likely to be a validator UA, if there is a referer it has to be a link that has been clicked.

So can I use the display: none technique to replace header text with graphics and still have google pick it up?
i have heard from some SEO people never to use display: none.
I noticed the css zen garden technique of using background images to replace header tags:

Header Text

then set the h2 tag to display a background image with the graphic header and set the h2 span to display: none.
If I am really concerned about search engines picking up the contents of that h2 tag should I avoid this technique?
If I really want a graphic header should I use the  instead?
I have read on this forum that google only takes into the account an img alt attribute if the img is in an anchor tag.
Would it work to just link that header image to the current page? like
Thanks everyone, i've been a long time reader here, this is my first post.
Posted 11 October 2007 - 12:17 PM

Header Text

then set the h2 tag to display a background image with the graphic header and set the h2 span to display: none.
My understanding is that Google et al. can index the text in this example just fine (can't find citations from the forums atm though).
Another option to achieve the image-replacement effect, without having an extraneous  tag is to leverage overflow:hidden.
combined with css like
should also work. I used this extensively in a single-sitting conversion exercise a while back (http://chronicle.thr...om/revised.html)
I know the display:none issue has been kicked around a couple times, but I was wondering if anybody here has done tests with overflow:hidden ? I'd expect it to be similarly unaffected, but there's nothing like data to inform an opinion.

Sightings: Hazy's Hits
A photo gallery of airplanes at the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center.
- By Michael Klesius
- AirSpaceMag.com, November 17, 2009
Dane A. Penland
Built by Aerospatiale of France and the British Aviation Corporation, the sleek, supersonic, 100-passenger Concorde is a houshold name. Trans-Atlantic service began in 1976, when the airplane began ferrying customers across the ocean in less than four hours, about half the time of an ordinary jetliner. The museum's airplane, which had flown 17,824 hours, was donated by Air France on June 12, 2003, in accordance with a 1989 letter of agreement with the Smithsonian.

I am looking for an SAR aircraft circa 1960. These short stubby little "Dumbos" were deployed in the central Pacific/Kwajalein for seaplane duty and search and rescue. I want to say S-16, but I"m not sure thats the number and I haven't been able to bring up anything relevant. Any ideas? Thanks, Navy Brat

Responding to posting by Billy Howard of 12/24/09 of a 1960s SAR aircraft. The SA-16 Albatross was used as SAR by both the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard.

Responding to Billy Howard 12/24/09 about SAR a/c flown in the 60's. I believe the correct designation was HU-16 and was a GRUMMAN A/C. I flew one when I was stationed in Rosy Roads in 1970.

I would love to see something about the B-32, which supposedly was to be the replacement for the B-24. I saw one once at a distance at Mountain Home AAF Base, Idaho, in 1945-46, where I was stationed.

Is there any way to get larger versions of these fantastic pictures? I'd love to use the shot of the B-29 as a background on my computer!

BANGKOK—Asian stock markets are mostly lower following data that showed a contraction in Chinese manufacturing for August.
An industry report said that China's purchasing managers index fell to 49.2 in August from July's 50.1 on a 100-point scale. Numbers below 50 show a contraction. It was the group's weakest reading to date.
That fueled doubts about whether China has started to recover from its deepest economic downturn since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 0.4 percent to 8,807.40. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was marginally lower at 19,473.23. South Korea's Kospi was down nearly 0.1 percent to 1,904.02.
But shares in mainland China and Taiwan were higher. The two countries signed an agreement Friday to allow Taiwanese banks to handle China's currency.

Choosing commercial property in Cape Town is equal parts exciting and stressful. You know what sort of environment, area, space requirements and look you want for your workspace, but finding that ideal place is all too often not as easy as it should be.
There are many things to consider during the process after all – pricing is only the beginning. You need to think about accessibility to major roads and public transport routes so that your employees don't struggle to get into work. You need your customers to be able to easily reach your premises too, with adequate parking for visitors.
With all that in mind, how do you start searching for the perfect commercial property?

Lake Chelan Ferries
Courtney v. Goltz
Challenging Lake Chelan's Government-Imposed Ferry Monopoly Under the Fourteenth Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause
IJ Clients Cliff and Jim Courtney |
Watch: Sinking the Government-Enforced Ferry Monopoly on Lake Chelan | |
If you want to understand the public's growing frustration with government, visit Lake Chelan in Washington state. But if you go, you better plan to add an extra day to your travels.
Jim and Cliff Courtney have a plan to bring economic prosperity to their small community of Stehekin, located on the north shore of Lake Chelan in the center of the state. Because Stehekin is accessible only by boat or plane, the Courtney brothers want to provide convenient ferry service across Lake Chelan so more people can enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor activities in the community their family has called home for four generations.
Unfortunately, the state of Washington has sunk their plan. A nearly century-old state law requires Jim and Cliff to obtain a certificate of "public convenience and necessity" from the state in order to pick up and drop off passengers along Lake Chelan. This requirement, which was implemented to protect existing ferry providers from competition, has resulted in a government-imposed monopoly on Lake Chelan ferry service since the 1920s.
The public convenience and necessity requirement is an anticompetitive condition that turns the ordinary rules of business on their head. It forces entrepreneurs like Jim and Cliff to either obtain the existing ferry company's permission to compete (akin to Burger King having to get McDonald's permission before opening a restaurant) or prove in a trial-like hearing to the government that the existing company is not providing "reasonable and adequate service" and that a new service is necessary. In practice, this standard is so arbitrary and hostile to honest entrepreneurship that enterprising citizens are routinely prevented from pursuing their dreams. Such an approach is fundamentally inconsistent with the American tradition of allowing consumers and entrepreneurs—not bureaucrats and existing businesses—to decide whether a new business is necessary.
Not only does the public convenience and necessity requirement cost jobs and drive up prices by reducing competition, it also violates the constitutional right to earn an honest living in the occupation of one's choice. Although the state has a legitimate interest in requiring ferries to be insured and inspected and manned by a trained and capable crew, it should not block entry merely to protect other ferry operators from competition.
That is why, on October 19, 2011, the Institute for Justice joined with Jim and Cliff in filing a federal civil rights lawsuit to challenge the public convenience and necessity requirement on Lake Chelan and vindicate their right to earn an honest living free from arbitrary and protectionist government interference.

I liked the episode ^^ made me feel in a holiday mood, poor Jessie and her doll
The was the first and last stupidist christmas episode they had ever!
lol I love how Team Rocket even want to steal Santa. It's a shame it was actually James though and they were just practising. It was sad to see young Jessie's toy being stolen, but it was funny to see how she was even evil in her young ages. I liked how Jynx could make people see things via some Psychic power involving her hair.
How could Ash swim in such cold waters? I also found it weird how Misty went to get Dexter to find out who Lapras was when she has one painted on her Gym. And why can it talk when Ash's Lapras he catches in the future can't?
I loved Team Rocket's entrance in this episode because of how cold it was. I also loved Jessie's evilness throughout this episode. Although I also felt a little bit sad for her because she thought her presents were stolen. The best part is when Jynx just completely ruin Team Rocket's escape and get all the presents back.
I feel like a dirty joke about Santa and all those Jynx needs to be made, but... I shall not. Why so Charmander though?
I have a Dutch Pokemon fanbook, with a comic adaption of this episode.
Jessie getting her doll "stolen" was funny, good to see that she eventually got it back. Lapras with telepathy was cool and Jynx being in love with Brock was even more epic.
Funny filler episode, 8/10. Enjoyable, but not really awesome.

I actually liked the episode, shame it was only aired twice.
Though I have the DVD somewhere so yeah.
I give this a 6.5/10
I have nothing other to say this episode was in its concept, alright, but executed confusingly and left a lot of questions marks.
Enjoyed seeing this episode, mainly because of the Christmas feeling. Santa Clause was cute & Lapras having telepathy was interesting. I'm glad everyone got presents in the end!
I didn't see this episode until I was near adulthood. When I finally saw it, I was amazed.

I still think that this edit is completely unnecessary but I guess it's ok if it means the episode will no longer be banned.
And maybe they will also improve the animation for the episode to look more like BW?

I still remember this episode from when I was a kid lol. I loved to see Jessies story about her toy that was stolen and it was funny that the Jynx took it to Santas workshop and I like that Lapras could talk to humans. Im surprized that Jynx was changed to purple in the japanese cartoon and I hope that she stays the same colour in the english cartoon.
What a weird episode! It's really odd that the writers decides to put Santa Clause in Pokémon! Having Santa Claus in the Pokémon world felt very strange, he dosen't belong in there. Team Rocket were just annoying in this episode, I didn't like Jessie comtemplating revenge on Santa Clause.
This episode also featured my least favorite Pokémon Jynx, who caused controversy after the English dub's airing of this episode. Later Game Freak had to change the colour of Jynx. There's another version of this episode of Japan where Jynx is re-coloured Purple, too bad we won't get the edited version of that episode in here.
Even though I didn't like the concept of the whole episode, I did like some scenes from it. I liked the scene where Ash tries to catch Jynx. Ash sends out Pikachu to battle the Jynx and catch her, but she grabs him and then tries to kiss him. Misty tried to warn Pikachu about Jynx's Sweet Kiss attack, but it was too late! Jynx managed to give a Sweet kiss on Pikachu's cheek,(Ewww!) making him fall asleep. It's cool when Ash's Charmender came out and owned that annoying Jynx. The scene where Ash meets the Lapras was nice, it's interesting how the Lapras could talk in human speech.

Hours before a looming deadline for automatic federal budget cuts, the Pentagon sent a blunt warning to Florida Gov. Rick Scott that spells out the likely impact on his state.
Ashton Carter, a deputy secretary of defense, wrote to Scott and the governors of nine states likely to be hit hardest by defense-related cuts that are part of $85 billion in government-wide cuts that were to take effect at midnight Friday.
"We wanted to provide you with the information we currently have available about how these unfortunate budgetary adjustments impact us, and in turn what it means for our installations and contractors in Florida," Carter wrote.
Scott, in Jacksonville on Friday night, told reporters that the cutbacks were "infuriating."
"We just got a letter from the president. It's infuriating there is going to be $135 million worth of cuts to Jacksonville," said Scott. "Now Congress and the president they have not done their job. They should not continue to be paid until sequestration ends."
Carter stated in his letter that up to 31,000 civilian employees who work for the Department of Defense could be furloughed up to 22 non-consecutive days over the next seven months. He said that the Pentagon has estimated the furloughs would result in a payroll reduction of $185 million to the Florida employees.
"In Washington, they are playing politics. They are playing politics with families lives and jobs in our state," said Scott.
Carter, who said a complete inventory of the cutbacks was not yet available, also mentioned previously disclosed impacts, including a loss of $135 million to the Navy for aircraft depot maintenance in Jacksonville and $3.2 million for four demolition projects in Pensacola.
But the most recent letter pegs the estimated cuts to the Air Force bases in Florida at $37 million.
Carter stated that the department was still assessing the details and would provide a more complete list of the cutbacks later.
This is the second time in the last week that federal officials have tried to draw attention to the impact of the automatic budget cuts. Last Sunday the White House released lists for each state on the potential effects.
The letter from the Pentagon comes at the same time that Scott has been harshly critical of both Congress and President Barack Obama for failing to reach a deal to avoid the cuts.
He said Friday that neither the president nor members of Congress should get paid until they solve the problem.
"We've had to balance our budget in our state. We've had to watch how we spend money," Scott during a public appearance in Orlando. "We've had to live within our means. And we didn't do it with a meat cleaver; we did it with a scalpel. We watched what we could do agency by agency. The federal government needs to do the same thing."

Recent Events and Surviving Pain for Botswana Orphans
A lot has changed for me in the past few months. Since I last posted on the blog I have scored a job as a News Librarian at Network Ten News in Melbourne. It was completely unexpected but also incredibly exciting. It came around the same time I was interviewed by the Herald Sun after attending the Melbourne Writers Festival. To be honest I'm glad I ended up with the job at Ten over working for the Herald Sun. Working in the News Library often means looking through old archive tapes and trying to find the best footage to use for a particular story. It's interesting work and as someone relatively new to Melbourne it has helped to rapidly give me an idea of who the important people are and what the major issues have been. This time in the News Library will no doubt help me with my journalism into the future.
In October last year I also completed my honours project on using mobile technology to change the media. I believe it was a success and it has changed the way I perceive and approach media organisations. Since spending so much time performing academic research I am far more skeptical about many aspects of journalism. While I have not changed by views on many major topics, including how journalism should change, I did gain a very good instinct for how to annoy academics. My work came back with good grades. I scored 78% from both of my examiners, which was far higher then I expected considering I was trying to push the boundaries. Watch out for an upcoming post on www.Media140.com where you will be able to download a copy.
Anyway, since finishing my project, life has just been busy. Most importantly (besides work that is), I've been training hard to complete a 300km bicycle ride along the Great Ocean Road from Geelong to Warrnambool raising money for charity. The charity I have chosen to support is the Botswana Orphan Project. As part of the training, for the past three weeks I have ridden up Mt Macedon, north-west of Melbourne. My final ride, completed on sunday, was a 63km ride, starting in New Gisborne, and then riding up the front face of Macedon and back down through Woodend and Gisborne. All I can say is… it was hard work!! The worst part is that the first day of our ride is double that! We will likely die. But I can't think of a better way to go then by raising money for such a great cause. Botswana has one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the world and average life expectancy has been plummeting to the point where people are not expected to live past the age of 40. This leaves an increasingly young population which needs help… and I want to help!
You can support me in my ride by donating here: http://www.mycause.com.au/mycause/raise_money/fundraise.php?id=5190

Opa-Locka Airport Development
New development should be coming to the extremely under-utilized Opa Locka Airport facility in the near future. Frankly, we would have liked to see Opa Locka resume some minimal commercial airline service (which was killed back in 2006) when talks surfaced to turn Opa Locka into the low-budget airline airport of Miami (similar to London's Gatwick, only domestic.)
