|Marcell Schrittwieser joining the NOVA development team (06.05.2014)
The design and development team of NOVA is happy to announce a new addition: from now on acro pilot Marcell Schrittwieser, Austrian champion in 2009, is supporting the team around designer Philipp Medicus and lead test pilot Mario Eder. Weighing only 65kg, the 31 year old will focus on the smaller sizes. As well as passion for acro, Marcell is bringing experience of testing and cross country flying to the team. He is a sociology student living in Innsbruck and previously worked as a technical designer. He is considered an expert in unusual flights that are not geared to earning league points, but to fulfill his goals. NOVA managing director Wolfi Lechner says: "Masi has already worked with us on testing the Ion 3. In addition, he was with us when filming the 'Performance for All' clip in Monaco. Knowing that he fits really well with the team from that experience, it was a logical move to take on board when Mike Küng left us. Masi fits perfectly with NOVA."

Research Interests:
The Bavoil laboratory studies the pathogenesis of the obligate intracellular pathogen, Chlamydia, and its bacteriophages. Specific research areas include:
Chlamydia type III secretion: Genomic analysis has revealed that type III secretion genes of Chlamydia are dispersed in several genomic clusters, a likely consequence of the unique evolutionary path of these organisms. We have hypothesized that through subversion of host signal transduction, type III secreted virulence effector proteins may be responsible for a range of phenotypes including intracellular survival, modulation of apoptosis, up-regulation of cellular transporters, acquisition of lipids from the Golgi and mitochondria, and signaling for late differentiation. Ongoing projects include the characterization of type III secretion, contact-dependent replication and development, and the identification and functional characterization of type III secreted effector proteins across Chlamydia species.
Chlamydia bacteriophages: A major focus is the study of phiCPG1, a bacteriophage that infects a Chlamydia caviae strain (GPIC) infectious to guinea pigs, and is distantly related to the coliphage phiX174. PhiCPG1 causes developmental arrest in replicating chlamydiae and induces their lysis and that of the chlamydial inclusion. A significant finding through genomic analysis of Chlamydia pneumoniae strain AR39 was the isolation of the genome of a bacteriophage closely related to phiCPG1 (phiAR39). Fragments of the phage genome are also found integrated in the genomes of C. caviae and C. pneumoniae. These findings have brought renewed momentum to investigations of the impact of phage infection on chlamydial infection and disease. Moreover, the existence of chlamydiaphages represents a unique opportunity for the development of phage-based genetics in Chlamydia, a major area of research in the laboratory.
Polymorphic membrane protein family: Genome sequencing has revealed pmp gene families of between 9 and 21 members in Chlamydia sp., the latter representing nearly 15% of the genomic coding capacity. We have expressed all 9 Pmps of C. trachomatis, purified epitope-tagged recombinant polypeptides and produced monospecific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Analysis of specific antibody in male, female and chronically infected patients with genital infection has revealed differential responses to a subset of Pmps cross-sectionally and longitudinally. These and other observations are globally consistent with a proposed role for the Pmp family in antigenic variation and suggest that these proteins are important determinants of pathogenicity. We aim to identify mechanisms of differential pmp expression and antigenic variation at the cellular level. Other ongoing studies include investigations in animal models and topological and functional analyses.
Comparative genomics: The laboratory is part of a consortium with The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and the University of British Columbia for a broad Chlamydia comparative genomics project (Taxogenomics) developed by Drs. Tim Read and Garry Myers. The project includes the sequencing of six new genomes of the Chlamydiaceae (Simkania, Waddlia, C. pneumoniae Koala, C. suis, C. pecorum and C. psittaci). Genomic information from all species will then be used to construct a gene array (Taxochip) which will allow the identification of new isolates and the isolation of new virulence genes by subtraction.

There are both regulatory (by-law) and medical precautions to using radioactive iodine (RAI).
The regulatory precautions are regulated by each state. They dictate if treatment can be performed in the outpatient setting or if the patient needs to be admitted to the Hospital and placed under radioactive precautions. Prior to leaving the Hospital, the nuclear medicine department and your thyroid treatment team will discuss the precautions and review ways to decrease the side effects and risks of exposure after receiving radioactive iodine.
The medical precautions are for the caregiver and family as well as the patient. Since I-131 produces radiation, patients must do their best to avoid radiation exposure to others, particularly to pregnant women and small children. Medical precautions will be given to you during the "pre-ablation" or "pre-RAI treatment" appointment. These precautions are very specific and should be followed as closely as possible to reduce potential exposure to others and to decrease the likelihood of short- and long-term medical complications associated with RAI.
All medical treatments have side effects; RAI is no different. In previous years, the goal of therapy was to get rid of all thyroid cancer cells no matter the total dose of RAI. With increased awareness of the potential risks associated with RAI, the current approach attempts to more carefully balance the risks and benefits of treatment.
RAI therapy is associated with short- and long-term medical risks, including:
The Pediatric Thyroid Center at CHOP is committed to determining which patients will or will not benefit from RAI therapy. You, the patient and family, are important members of the treatment team. Be informed and be involved. Know the risks and the benefits of the treatment being recommended and the expertise of the center providing your care. The potential risks of complications decrease if you receive care in a center dedicated to the care of pediatric patients with thyroid disease.
Learn about our commitment to thyroid disease research and finding new treatments.

The Shrinking Role of the PC
Tyler is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
We all know that most companies in the PC industry make a lot of money, but are PCs the main source of revenue? The answer may surprise you. A lot of companies seem to be focusing on a more broad scale of products and services. Most of us know that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) main source of revenue actually comes from the iPhone, and not their PC's. In fact, only an estimated 18% of Apple's revenue comes from PCs. So I ask the question: How large of a role do PCs actually play in companies who were traditionally known as a PC company?
Apple seems to be in a category of its own. They market a huge variety of products, and are known for all of them. We all know about iPhones, iPads, iPods, PCs, iTunes, AppleTVs, etc., but the other traditional PC companies derive the majority of their revenue from services or software - not PCs.
Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ) may not be known exclusively for their PC sales, but most people know them as a PC company. 20% of HP's revenue is derived from printers and ink cartridges. PCs on the other hand, account for 29% of revenue. Printers are ink cartridges are, however, a far more profitable to HP than PC's. Surprisingly HP's services have caught up to PC's revenue which is now at 29%.
When researching Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), I realized they are still more of a PC company than anything else, but is that changing? When I think of Dell, I don't normally think of much else. A significant portion of Dell's revenue comes from different avenues. Services represent 15%, while servers and networking represents another 16%. Dell's desktops only represent 23%, and Notebooks and Netbooks represent a significant portion at 26%. So, yes, their PC's represent about 49% of their revenue, but Dell is starting to head in a new direction.
The interesting part about Dell is how much the numbers have changed in recent years. In 2012 the revenue generated by services has increased by more than 6% from 2008. The same is true for Dell's servers and networking. There has been more than a 3% rise in revenue from servers and networking in the last four years. This is almost 10% more revenue generated from services, servers, and networking than just four short years ago.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), has taken a slightly different approach than everyone else. Microsoft focuses more on building programs for PC's than actual PC's. As a lot of people would suspect, Microsoft Office brings in more revenue than any other aspect of their business, at 31%. For all the hype that Xbox receives among some people, it only generates about 14% of Microsoft's revenue.
The Bottom Line...
While PC's play an important role in all of these companies, their role is less important today than ever before. It seems that companies are spreading themselves out into a variety of different areas in order to optimize their profits. iPhones, services, and Microsoft Office are all starting to provide larger percentages of revenue than anything else – and they were all traditionally based around the PC. Oh how times have changed.

The New Jersey court gave the state legislature 180 days to do one of two things: either (1) amend the state marriage laws to permit same-sex couples to marry or (2) create a parallel statutory system "which will provide for, on equal terms, the rights and benefits enjoyed and burdens and obligations borne by married couples." This parallel system could be called "civil unions" (as in Vermont and Connecticut) or "domestic partnerships" (as in California) or something else. Under #1 the state will have fully met its constitutional obligation. Under #2 the state may meet its constitutional obligation but will invite further litigation on the issue. Litigants will get a second bite at the marriage apple.
The question is, having concluded that gay couples are entitled to all of the rights of marriage, why did the New Jersey court not simply order the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples? The gay-marriage litigants in the case likened a parallel system to "separate-but-equal" and "second-class citizenship," terms that emphasize the dignitary harm done by a law that denies them the status of being married. They argued that marriage is not simply an entitlement to legal goodies, but is a status rich in cultural and historical meaning. Marriage works because the status of marriage is synergistic: it combines important legal rights with important cultural rites. A parallel system can capture the former but cannot fully capture the latter. Very eloquent and even moving affidavits from the couples, quoted at length in the concurrence, make the point that there is ultimately no substitute for marriage.
The court's tentative answer to this dignitary concern is this:
Raised here is the perplexing question – "what's in a name?" – and is a name itself of constitutional magnitude after the State is required to provide full statutory rights and benefits to same-sex couples? We are mindful that in the cultural clash over same-sex marriage, the word marriage itself – independent of the rights and benefits of marriage – has an evocative and important meaning to both parties. Under our equal protection jurisprudence, however, plaintiffs' claimed right to the name of marriage is surely not the same now that equal rights and benefits must be conferred on same-sex couples.
It's hard to imagine a court saying that the question whether interracial unions will be called "marriages" or "civil unions" might not be "of constitutional magnitude" or could be dismissed as a controversy over a "name." This suggests that the answer to the question – "what's in a name?" – is, "Sometimes, a lot." The "sometimes" here is important because it may be that, in the context of our poisonous racial history, a difference in nomenclature would send an especially demeaning and corrosive message about interracial couples, where a difference in nomenclature alone for gay couples would still signal a tremendous advance forward for gay families. But at least courts should recognize that "names" can matter in ways that law should take into account.
The court also conflates the status issue with a social acceptance issue: it treats the claim for the legal status of marriage as if it is a demand for equal social acceptance. "Although courts can ensure equal treatment, they cannot guarantee social acceptance, which must come through the evolving ethos of a changing society," argues the court (a challenge: find a parallel claim about social attitudes and law in Plessy).
Of course no court can mandate social acceptance; but that is not what gay-marriage litigants asked for. What a court can do is remove any role the law might play in reinforcing social inequality. Denying the status of marriage to gay couples lends some continued legitimacy to the idea that they should not be accepted socially as the equal of married couples. For many people, that may be the correct message to send. But we cannot deny that it is sent and that law has played a role in sending it. Erasing that final status distinction at least ensures that, if social inequality between gay and straight couples remains, it will be no fault of the law.
The court has not shut the door to a claim for the status of marriage. It suggests that the legislature may be able to come up with a reason to restrict the status of marriage to opposite-sex couples, even though it has failed to come up with a sufficient reason to restrict the rights of marriage to opposite-sex couples. The court doesn't tell us what this reason might be, but says that "marriage" has a "shared societal meaning" passed down through the ages as the union of one man and one woman. "To alter that meaning would render a profound change in the public consciousness of a social institution of ancient origin," says the court. Having been hard-headed positivists about legal rights for most of the opinion, here the judges become mystics in their reverence for "marriage." Perhaps the legislature can cite the unknown consequences of changing the "shared societal meaning" of an ancient social institution as reason enough to choose a parallel system for gay couples, but it is hard to see how this would be different from the tradition-based rationale the state offered and the court rejected for denying rights to gay couples.
Two courts so far have squarely confronted this question of nomenclature and have come to opposite conclusions. The Massachusetts high court could not think of any reason other than prejudice for the legislature to deny the status of marriage to gay couples even as it was required to grant them the rights. A Connecticut trial court recently held that a claim for the status of marriage, where all the rights have already been given, was beneath the constitutional radar.
At any rate, it is now clearer than ever that judges in future gay-marriage cases will see three options:
(1) Democracy-permitting decisions: Deny the gay-marriage claim and do nothing more, leaving all decisions about status and rights to the legislature. This was the route taken recently by the state supreme courts in New York and Washington, although the Washington court left open the possibility of choosing route #2 or #3 in the future.
(2) Status-forcing decisions: Mandate the status of marriage, and all of its rights, for gay couples. This was the route taken by the Massachusetts high court in Goodridge.
(3) Rights-forcing decisions: Mandate the rights of marriage, but not the status, for gay couples. This was the route taken by the Vermont supreme court, and now by the New Jersey supreme court.
Rights-forcing decisions are the "Third Way" in gay-marriage litigation. The gay-marriage litigants in Washington and other states have rejected this remedy. But courts sympathetic to gay-marriage claims in other states will probably see the Third Way as the most attractive option. The advantage of a rights-forcing decision over a status-forcing decision is that it leaves some room for democratic decision – specifically, whether to grant the status of marriage to gay couples. And rights-forcing decisions engender less democratic backlash than do status-forcing decisions, producing potentially more stable gains for gay couples in the long run. On the other hand, rights-forcing decisions may be may prove unstable if they lead to subsequent status-forcing decisions.
Note that the number of states where courts can be expected to be somewhat sympathetic to gay-marriage claims has dwindled to a handful. New Jersey was probably the last, best hope for a full gay marriage victory in a state court for some time to come. California, where gay-marriage litigation is pending, seems more doubtful. In that state, full rights recognition (#3) has already been achieved legislatively so the only real question will be whether the state supreme court is willing to recognize the dignitary concerns that might push it into a status-forcing decision (#2). In a growing list of states, where status-forcing or even rights-forcing judicial decisions were already very unlikely, all three options have been taken off the table by sweeping state constitutional amendments that prevent even ordinary legislative action to protect gay families.
Nevertheless, by the end of next April, New Jersey will join four other states – Massachusetts, Vermont, California, and Connecticut – in giving gay couples access to all of the rights of marriage under state law. All by itself this is a significant development. Of the 300 million people who live in the United States, about 54 million (over 1/6 of the nation's total population) will live in a state where gay couples have access to the same rights and obligations as married straight couples. Of those 54 million, about 40 million will live in a state where this result was achieved entirely legislatively (California and Connecticut). All of that has happened in just the last six years. The experience we gain and the lessons we learn from protecting gay families under the law in those states will be difficult to ignore in the years to come.

This mid-range chain hotel offers big rooms with fresh, contemporary decor (green accent walls, geometric pattern carpets, dark wood furniture) and lots of freebies that add to the value. But the hotel is not directly on the beach: Guests must cross two busy streets to get to the sand. The hotel certainly offers solid value; low rates include free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free parking even for oversized vehicles. And all rooms have conveniences such as sitting areas, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers; some have pull-out sofas and pillow-top mattresses. Hotel features include a fitness center and a pool, though the fitness center is small and the pool is next to the parking lot. It may be worth comparing rates with the Comfort Inn; though its rooms are a touch less stylish, the hotel is located right on the beach.
The 83-room Comfort Inn is a typical mid-range hotel by Virginia Beach standards. Common areas are a bit drab looking -- even the indoor pool area, which boasts ocean views, can be somewhat dreary as the windows are often too fogged up to see through. But the rooms here, if not up to modern decor standards, are cheery with bright, floral curtains and colorful furniture. All feature small balconies overlooking the ocean as well as living areas (many with pull-out sofas), microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, wet bars, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel also offers a small fitness center, laundry facilities, and freebies such as hot breakfast and Wi-Fi. The Comfort Inn offers great value for a beachfront hotel; rooms at the Clarion Inn might be a touch more stylish, but the hotel isn't right on the sand.

Also keep in mind that baby probably almost weighs as much as she does ;-) I carry my son like that too and he loves it when he's cranky.

I her defense, I'd never really held a baby before having my own. Well, maybe once or twice (and I looked much more scared!). And I actually hold my son like that often (facing out, one hand over chest and one under crotch). It's his favorite position and it instantly quiets him if he's crying. So maybe she's not entirely clueless.

Is it a "nap"? Or a "break"?
Our English teachers were right: Words matter. In the duty hours debate, the distinction between the words "nap" and "break" is important.
On her blog, duty hours researcher Vineet Arora, MD, MPP asks, "Can we mandate residents take naps (for 5 hours!)? No, you can't force anyone to sleep. But, you can mandate break time."
Dr. Arora's study on naps found that they can alleviate resident fatigue but that trainees' adherence to the nap schedule was quite low.
In considering the recommendations of the IOM the term "nap" is problematic. To many, it conjures mandatory naps in kindergarten.
For example, writes one blog respondent, "It's ludicrous to make napping mandatory. What's next? Telling residents when to use the bathroom or when to eat milk and cookies?"
What do you think? Would changing the terminology help? We asked the readers of the AMA GME e-Letter for their feedback; following are the responses received.
At our radiology residency we call the break a "siesta." We instituted it about three years ago. The resident can go home and basically rest for a few hours. They can sleep if they want or just relax.
I believe we should change the terminology from "nap" to "rest."
"Fatigue mitigation" is the phrase we're using.
In my experience, the thing that would help the most would be to leave the duty hours as they are. We all need to do a better job of education about the current system so that all residents and instructors understand and adhere to these requirements. In reviewing our duty hours very closely (in our community-based family medicine program), we rarely see residents working more than 60 or 65 hours as it is. We are trying to send family doctors to rural areas, where the only work restrictions will be self-induced. We need to teach people how to be more efficient, how to manage stress and fatigue more effectively, and how to know yourself and your own limits.
How about "mandated nap opportunity?"
I would suggest that breaks are mandatory; "taking a snooze" or "catching some Zs" is recommended.

Comments about Dramatic Witch Adult Costume:
Shorter than pictured. CHEAP, and not as in price. Too see through, I'll have to wear a slip. Might as well wear a sack. In picture looks like it hugs you, and even though I bought my size, and I'm not fat (although I have hips) it just HANGS there. Also seems like the seams are sewn a little crooked, as one side is a bit twisted toward the front. I'm so angry. And of course, you can't return it. The edges are fraying, and I haven't even worn it yet.

Inside Media: Covering News Around the World
Listen to Audio:
Watch video:
Guest: Randall Pinkston
In 37 years as a television reporter, Randall Pinkston has seen plenty of changes in the news business.
A correspondent for CBS News since 1990, Pinkston became one of the first African-American news anchors in the South when WLBT-TV in Jackson, Miss., recruited him in 1971 as a news trainee in an effort to diversify its staff.
The station became "truly integrated racially," Pinkston said, and his colleagues were supportive and helpful. But he later learned that during his time there, the station had received bomb threats in response to its integration.
"I'm glad I didn't know about them," Pinkston said.
He went on to report for CBS affiliates in Jacksonville, Fla., Hartford, Conn. and New York City before becoming the network's White House correspondent in 1990. He has covered major national stories and has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Haiti.
Pinkston cited innovations in technology as having the greatest impact in his work. His reporting began "at the tail end of the old technology" — film, film processors and light meters — and at "the beginning of electronic news gathering."
But the high-speed innovations can have drawbacks, Pinkston warned.
"Frankly, I think sometimes the turnaround is too fast, because if you really want to do a responsible job with journalism, there needs to be time to vet the information that you're getting, research it to make sure that it is true, and think about it so you can decide how you're going to present it."
And despite the newest trends in technology, news presentation or even charges of media "elitism," Pinkston sees the core of his work as unchanging.
"When I do a story, I'm doing it …the old-fashioned way," he said. "I don't think about elitism, I don't think about blogs, I don't think about what somebody's going to say about this particular topic. I'm just trying to do a good, solid job as a reporter."
"Inside Media," produced by the Newseum, is open to the public. Seating is on a space-available basis.

Trump, in a stunt designed to draw media attention and set afire the conservative blogosphere, said he would donate $5 million to charity if the president released his college records and passport applications.
"I have a deal for the president, a deal that I don't believe he can refuse, and I hope he doesn't. If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice - inner city children in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research, anything he wants–a check immediately for $5 million," Trump said.
He added that the check will be written "within one hour" of the documents' release and set a deadline of 5 p.m. on October 31, one week before Election Day…and also right as children are heading out the door to begin trick or treating on Halloween.
"Frankly it's a check that I very much want to write," he said. "I absolutely would be the most happy of all if I did in fact make this contribution through the president to the charities."
In an interview set to air Wednesday night on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," Trump argued his offer wasn't a publicity stunt and further challenged the president.
"If there's nothing wrong with his applications – if everything's fine, why wouldn't he do it to pick up $5 million for a charity?" Trump asked. "I think that would be outrageous, personally."
This isn't the first time Trump has called for Obama to make public such records. The conservative, who flirted with a presidential bid last year, has long been at the steering wheel for the so-called birther movement, questioning the president's place of birth.
Last year, Obama released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii to quell speculation that he was not a U.S. citizen and may be constitutionally ineligible to serve as president. He has previously released a certification of live birth during the 2008 campaign. Both documents show that he was born in a Hawaii hospital on August 4, 1961. Contemporaneously published newspaper announcements also noted the birth in the Aloha State.
In his announcement, Trump took credit for last year's release of the certificate.
"I am very honored to have gotten him to release his long form birth certificate, or whatever it may be," he said.
Trump has said before he wants to see Obama's college records, saying the documents contain students' place of birth.
"I'd like to see what he said. It would be very interesting. I don't care what his marks were. I don't care if he had good marks, I'd just like to see 'place of birth'," Trump said in June at the North Carolina state Republican convention.
Asked about Trump's announcement, David Plouffe, a senior adviser to the president, told reporters on a campaign bus to "direct those questions to Boston because Donald Trump is Mitt Romney's biggest supporter so he owns everything he says."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer held Trump to account on "The Situation Room" in a May interview, as Trump continued to maintain that "a lot of people do not think" the live-birth certificate was "authentic" a year after the document was released. Trump also declined to offer names of experts in agreement with him.
The millionaire maintained in the interview that Obama's birthplace is a matter of opinion, rather than fact.
"Everybody's entitled to your opinion," he said. "You know my opinion and you know his opinion and that's fine. We're entitled – as he said yesterday in the airplane – we're all entitled to our opinions and he's entitled to have his opinion. I don't happen to share that opinion, it's wonderful."
Confronted with 1961 newspaper announcements of Obama's birth, Trump accused Blitzer of defending Obama. Trump then alleged that the practice of filing U.S. birth announcements for an overseas birth was commonplace and done for "the benefits of being so-called born in this country," though he offered no evidence.

- Great ViewMNSeattleDined on 9/15/2014Excellent food and a great sunset view. Good menu and nice wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, great food.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014We got a gift card from a friend and went for a birthday celebration. We got seated right away...outside! It got a bit hot and the staff graciously moved us into the shade. We had a gorgeous day, amazing food, a great view and friendly, attentive staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rays -Touristy Great ViewWorthHavingVIPDined on 9/13/2014Ray's Cafe is the less expensive of the two Ray's restaurants right on the water in West Seattle. You know you are there for the view, because the food is good, not great, in a town where there's plenty of great. The seats outside offer unimpeded views of the sunset but bring your sunglasses with you because on a sunny Seattle Day you will even need them inside. The menu has plenty of seafood and fish and a few non-fish items. The wine list is excellent, many choices by the glass or even 1/2 bottle. The desserts include a fresh flavor of the day each day, and are wonderful.Special Features:
- janieDined on 9/13/2014The view from the outside dining area is outstanding...directly on the water....beautiful! The food is good, not great, but the venue makes up for it. This was not my first time here and it wont be my lastSpecial Features:
- We visit Ray's whenever we're nearStoinkDined on 9/12/2014I have two complaints about Ray's Café, and the first one is serious. I'm a vegetarian, and I really have only one entrée that I can order. I don't know if Ray's offers a veggie burger substitute for its hamburger, but I'll be glad to send a recipe if it does not. Anyway, things have improved since our first visit in 2001, and I appreciate the progress. I give Ray's a top rating because everyone in my family loves Ray's and its seafood. My wife is addicted to the crab cakes, and I am afraid what would happen to her if we lived nearby. Also, the vegetarian choice is reasonably priced. Many restaurants don't give vegetarians a break, so thank you, Ray's Café! The other complaint involves the omission of a certain punctuation mark. :)Special Features:
- great restaurant, bad waiter!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Riley C. Was the most abrubt, non patient waiter I've had in a very long time. While ordering appetizers he also wanted our dinner order (rush, rush). We tried to order the halibut special, he Informed us the special was probably no longer available but took our order for it anyway. However, we did say we'd have cod if halibut was gone. When dinner was brought to us it was dropped down and he hurried off. No explanation if we were eating the halibut or cod. He never came back to ask if we needed anything else or if we wanted another drink, nothing. When he finally showed back up we asked for a dessert menu. Someone else brought it. It took so long for him to come check with us we finally said no to dessert for our bill and left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as alwaysSeattleScientistDined on 9/12/2014Whenever my family comes into town we almost always have a dinner at Rays, where we can rely on great fish, a beautiful view, and great service. Only problem this time was the setting sun which, while beautiful, did shine in my eyes for about half an hour before sinking behind the Olympics.Special Features:
- BeautifulEcutterDined on 9/11/2014Food was great, server/kitchen was very accommodating for various off menu requests but it took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The views are spectacular but it got chilly inside when the sun went down.Special Features:
- Ray's Rocks!luvdessertDined on 9/11/2014I made reservations for an early lunch, a 40th birthday celebration for my niece who is developmentally disabled, and had as a guest one of our oldest family friends. The staff couldn't have been more gracious, we had a great window seat, the view was fabulous, the food was delicious, (Crabcakes, Ahi Tuna, Berry Salad) including the birthday cake I'd arranged for beforehand. It was a very special day! I've always loved Ray's, and would recommend this restaurant to everyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great seafood with a beautiful viewBallardforanightDined on 9/10/2014We were able to sit on the patio with a great view of the sun setting over the mountains. Waitress was great and didn't rush us. Good was great as well. Very fresh fish and delicious appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 22nd Annivesary celebrationTGinVanDined on 9/5/2014We were visiting Seattle from Vancouver, Canada and were celebrating an Anniversary, while Ray's Cafe is more casual than the Boathouse, it offered the out door dinning, stunning view and a sunset. The food was great, wine list was good and the ambiance was fine. We had a great evening and would certainly visit again. The deck is usually on a first come first serve basis, but I asked if it was possible for a table when I booked and they kindly accommodated us. A memorable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the food was not made with lovenotafoodsnobDined on 9/5/2014Dry and undercooked salmon (how is that even possible?), dry asparagus, zero flavor in the couscous, and the ceviche was mediocre.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special get togetherMdkrauseDined on 9/5/2014This was a special get together for 5 friends. I liked that the staff did not rush us , but let us have a leisurely lunch so we could visit and celebrate. The cab sliders were really good and The Spicy lime sunset splash was delicious!Special Features:
- Seattle icon!HappydinerDined on 9/5/2014A great view of boats heading in and out of the locks. Great spot!Special Features:
- ImpressedHeartSeattleVIPDined on 8/31/2014We were highly impressed with Ray's Cafe. The crab cakes were better than any I had elsewhere in Seattle. My salad with shrimp was awesome. The view is spectacular. And, our waitress was hilarious and helpful. We had a couple pesky bees bothering us. Our waitress was so funny and eager to help us fight them off.Special Features:
- Loved itCABoundDined on 8/30/2014Nice restaurant that offered a scenic view and delicious food. Appreciated the blankets on the deck even though we didn't use them. The meal was reasonably priced and memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful ViewDavBenDined on 8/29/2014The food was excellent with the exception of the clam special. There was little taste and some clams wewe gritty. The clam chowder was wonderful. My husband's meal was great. The setting perfect. All and all and very nice place.Special Features:
- ProvoloniDined on 8/28/2014We had a fantastic evening at Rays watching the sunset from the deck. The waitstaff was very helpful and personable, the food was quite good overall, but the Thai style mussels appetizer stood out as being fantastic. Our out of town guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome RestaurantChipDined on 8/28/2014Great food, great service & great views. I'll be back next time I'm in Seattle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- love it, wish bread would improveElizabethOct17Dined on 8/25/2014Ray's is always a wonderful experience, but I wish they'd push the quality of the food up just one little notch! Their service has gotten notably better in the last few years and now matches its location. I took some friends from Minneapolis there on a gorgeous warm August night, arriving 20 minutes before reservation so that we would have a shot at an outdoors table. Very attentive registration and bar service meant not only did I get a beer swiftly, and after only a few minutes, our outdoor table was ready. Bus person and waiter regularly attended our table and the waiter was great. Then -- he brought the bread. Three dry, stale uninteresting white rolls? Really? In a top Seattle restaurant? Love you anyway Ray's. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great view w/mediocre foodYummyInYountvilleVIPDined on 8/25/2014clearly the only reason this restaurant is still open is because of the view, without the view no one would go back. I cannot remember the last time I had such bland, mediocre food. Do yourself a favor - pack a picnic and go sit in Golden Gardens to enjoy the view, it will cost you less and the food will be much bettereSpecial Features:
- bmaguideVIPDined on 8/24/2014Good seafood menu for a family dinner. Excellent service. We asked for a round table for our party of 8 and got it. Will be happy to return next time I'm in Seattle.Special Features:
- still a solid pickchunaDined on 8/22/2014Still the place to take out of town guests. Food a bit pricey but quality high. Valet and reception fast and friendly. Food orders were slow but waiter acknowledged and apologized.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much better than recent reviewsgoodfoodgoodfunDined on 8/21/2014Based on summer 2014, reviews, we were not sure what to expect. Our friend wanted to return to celebrate her birthday since it has been a long time since having a meal at Ray's. Our group of six felt the service was very good, punctual and our server was very friendly and offered good advice. All six of us enjoyed our lunches and the beautiful view. Yes, we will return again!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/20/2014Ray's is a special place we like to take our out of town guests and for special occasions. I always feel at home and have a special connection with the restaurant because my name is Ray. We had a perfect Seattle experience there on Wednesday evening the 20th of August with new business associates from Iowa on the deck of the Cafe. Elke served us very well in the busy bar while we waited for a table on the deck. You know we'll be back again and again as we have for 35 some years! I tell people Ray's is my restaurant! Ray Mooers P.S., I wanted this to go as a private note to the restaurant but it was dis-allowed due to: -262 characters remaining You have exceeded the character limit.Special Features:
- DirtyDisappointedDined on 8/19/2014Our table was sticky on the edges. I put my hand on the back of the chair to pull it out and it was coated with dry food residue. Went to the bathroom to wash my hand. Switched chairs and sat down. Put my hands on the seat-side of the second chair to scoot toward the table and came away with food residue again. Yuck. Makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is. The bar processed my credit card at at $73 for a beer and a club soda. The charge was corrected but I wasn't given a copy of the voided charge nor of the actual itemized bill. The view was nice.
- TexanDined on 8/19/2014We had a great time. We got there early and were seated before our reservation time even though all our party was not present. The waiter was great. Only complaint was the calamari had been cooked in too old oil. We had been for lunch and the calamari was super. We will definitely return as it is a fun place and the view whether you are inside or out is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the view!JackieDined on 8/18/2014Great food & service!! Always enjoy a meal at Rays!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, fine food, slow servicefisheaterDined on 8/18/2014Spectacular view from out on the deck. Food was fine, but not worth $165 for lunch for four people. Service was spectacularly slow. It shouldn't take an hour to get your food on a Monday when your order is in to the kitchen 35 min after the restaurant opens. Lunch diners often need to get back to work, or off to their next event. Our server disappeared for long stretches at a time. Not recommended.Special Features:
- Favorite seafood restaurantMaryPDined on 8/17/2014Whenever I have someone visiting from out of town, Ray's is the first place I want to take them to experience the beauty of our waterfront and to enjoy excellent seafood. Never disappoints!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnhappyDined on 8/17/2014Poor service. Brought wrong meal. Too noisy to hear other person. Salmon to rare. Salad was all lettuce. Very little of items described. Waiter had too many tables. Would not go back. Would give it a D. Do not go there for special occasions
- Lovely food, butTansyweedDined on 8/16/2014It was so loud that I could not recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet place to take elderly people.its a bar It was dining in an atmosphere of loud mouths and jocks, which ruined the fantastic food and lovely service.Special Features:
- Great place for friends to meet!FinetoDineDined on 8/14/2014Perfect place for our reunion with friends we hadn't seen in 20 years! Our party of 9 was seated on time. The staff was very accommodating as they were busy that evening and the kitchen was doing their best to keep up with the crowd. It took an extended length of time for our main entrees to arrive. Food was delicious. We were enjoying our friends so we weren't particularly bothered with the delay. The staff made up for it by buying us a bottle or two of spirits. The staff is wonderful and very considerate. We were the last to leave! I will definitely go to Ray's Café again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- happyguestDined on 8/14/2014A special occasion place with wonderful views of the sound and entrance to the ship canal. Creative menu with ample choices.Special Features:
- Over-priced and over-ratedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/11/2014A waste of a good view and location. Food was mediocre. Service was rushed, even on a Monday night, and wait staff didn't even know what cocktail sauce is (this is a fish restaurant, right?). Prices were outrageous considering the average food quality. Presentation was worthy of Denny's. Save your money and eat at Anthony's next door.
- DisappointingKathylk1VIPDined on 8/10/2014Was told to go here by a friend but disappointed. Food wasn't very good and the service was just ok. One member of the group has celiac and was brought a spinach dip with breadcrumbs baked in on top! They were very apologetic but the damage was done.Special Features:
- DisappointedNotWorthy78Dined on 8/10/2014I was very disappointed with my lunch selection of the mixed berry salad. The spring mix greens were wilted, old, not fresh at all. Everyone was taken aback at how badly the salad greens were...how could your cooks even think of serving such old, mushy greens, not just at your prices, but at any price. Not acceptable. Also, there was an obvious hint of body odor as the young woman reached over to clear a plate.Special Features:
- Okay, but not what I expected.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014The place was busy but we were seated promptly at our reservation time. We went for the outdoor seating but did not know that there was very little outdoor seating and that was an hour wait. The food was good but over priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great viewfoodie27Dined on 8/8/2014We went during sunset and it was a stunning view. My Cesar salad isn't taste like it had much dressing but my boyfriend said hi salmon was fantastic. They apologized for the kitchen being backed up and bought us drinks, which was really nice. The only downfall is if you need a cab. They are hard to come by. The staff will call for them but other people may take your cab.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
