- First timersOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014The steaks we had were really good,the hash browns were perfect,crispy on the outside,soft on the inside. The salads were good too,just a little loud in the resturant that night. We will go back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/27/2014pricey - and far too loud and far too dark but fabulous foodSpecial Features:
- Anniversary dinnerktdidDined on 9/27/2014We brought our daughter and son in law for their 1st wedding anniversary. The ambiance was great, food was good although we thought somewhat spendy in comparison with other comparable quality of restaurants/food. Our server was attentive and informative, we really liked her and she brought a couple of complimentary desserts for the table when she heard why we there! Very thoughtful! Would definitately go again for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Good FoodyeschickDined on 9/27/2014Food is always good, wait staff friendly. We've had issues in the past of them closing at inopportune times (like 10:30 on Halloween 2013), but you can always depend on the food when they are open.Special Features:
- Great experiencefantasticnightDined on 9/24/2014The host and the waiter where great, they recommended may great choices and very hospitable, We ha a great time and she really loved having her birthday there, then after being on the Skydeck made her night even betterSpecial Features:
- I wanted to like it more than I didJamieDined on 9/23/2014The food was fine, but the price was high...the service was constant upsell. I ordered what I ordered.Special Features:
- Horrible!LilyDined on 9/20/2014Made my reservation three weeks ago, after checking in with our hostess, she informed us that she would be texting us as soon as our table was ready. 40mins later, I went to see her to ask her if our table was ready yet, she pretty much admitted of forgetting about us! When the food finally arrived, it was cold. For the price that they charge you would expect their food to be amazing but it was just blah!!
- Nice as alwaysajymcaDined on 9/20/2014Had a group of guys in Minneapolis for a "guys weekend" filled with Twins and Gophers. Finished up with a great meal. Molly our waitress was very polite and accommodating. The restaurant was very busy, so at times it seemed to take longer that we would have liked for drinks and re-orders. All in all, food was very good, my steak was not as excellent as in the past, but still very good. For the pricing, a person is expecting, excellent though. That's all. we finished the night up with drinks in the sky bar...that was a lot of fun as well and well work the visit if you have not been there. Have dined there several times and always enjoyed it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/20/2014Great service!! Sushi was great as well. Sara was our server, she was really good about reccomending drinks and foods as wellSpecial Features:
- Long wait for foodZMonsterDined on 9/15/2014Dined here a few times, decent food, but it takes forever. Most recent visit was dinner on a Monday night. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but we had to wait well over an hour from the time we sat down to the time we had food...and all we ordered was a side salad and three sushi rolls.
- Great food and serviceJLM61Dined on 9/14/2014We had a party of 8 and enjoy great food and service. Wonderful filet mignon, Carpaccio and lobster bisque soup. Others enjoyed sushi. Its a bit spendy, but worth the splurge. Mark West Pinot noir wine was excellent.Special Features:
- Sirloin comes up shortOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014Wife's fillet mignon was delicious. The house sirloin failed greatly in comparison. I get better value and flavor in a sirloin from OutbackSpecial Features:
- First time and loved it!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/13/2014Would go back because the food was awesome and the place was beautiful. Had a great roof top too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EhMichaelMNDined on 9/13/2014Food was okay. Ordered the Sushi for two and the waitress didn't tell us what was on the plate. My wife and female friends ordered martinis and they were not good-too sweet. Service was super slow. I would rather go to CRAVE across the street for the money I spend.Special Features:
- Great Sushijayhawk08Dined on 9/12/2014This place was really good....I got there early and had a drink at the bar! Then we got a really nice booth and ordered our dinner! We ordered Edamame and the Firecracker roll!! AMAZING!! Best sushi downtown if you ask me! Oh and the outdoor area upstairs looked really awesome however it was chilly and I didn't want to go stand outside!Special Features:
- Nothing Short of AmazingMinnesotaPride14Dined on 9/12/2014A group of my friends and I came on a Friday night and it was amazing! Great service, phenomenal food, a little spendy but worry every penny!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business Dinner at SevenMickiDined on 9/11/2014Perfect for a business dinner. Since our dinner was on a Thursday the noise level was very tolerable, especially since we were seated in the dining room area. We ate there again on Saturday and were seated in the bar area and the noise and traffic going past our booth was a little much. The food was consistently good. Our service on Thursday was quite a bit more attentive than on Saturday. All in all, a place that I would return to for a special evening.Special Features:
- Rooftop diningfoodie2Dined on 9/6/2014Very cool place, food was very good!! We sat on the rooftop area, had a great view of downtown Minneapolis!! Would definitely recommend a visit!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my best experienceKristineVIPDined on 9/6/2014We have been coming to Seven for many years now for special events and always look forward to it. We were in celebrating my husbands 35th birthday with friends and from the moment we were seated at our table we could tell that something was off. Our server brought us water in plastic cups because she said that the dishwasher was broke. We found this odd considering she could get glassware from the bar. Next, we placed our food order and felt that we waited a long time to get our food. One of the sides was incorrect and by the time we received it, the rest of the table was finished eating. My husband's sushi didn't seem as fresh as it used to be. We ordered dessert and that took 30 minutes to get and they were melted.Special Features:
- Great Service!!ChrisandHeatherDined on 9/5/2014We went there for our Anniversary, we had a great waitress, very friendly and very knowledgeable about the steaks and other food. Sushi was amazing and so was the steaks. We will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my favoriteHelmHoffVIPDined on 8/31/2014I'm not overly impressed by Seven, the food is mediocre and not cheap.Special Features:
- Sad to say…. DisappointedKerryDined on 8/30/2014When booking online through OpenTable apparently it needs to be specified you would like to be seated on the first floor (Steakhouse) and not second (Sushi). We were automatically sent to the second level and asked to be switched. There were many seats and tables open on the first level and we were still not able to be seated. The Sushi level was not as comfortable, loud, our seat was next to a huge birthday party, and our service wasn't good. For example, the server couldn't explain the cut and tenderness of a manhatten steak which lead my guest to dip his dry steak in soy/wasabi sauce.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Occasions Spectacular!PCluv7Dined on 8/30/2014If you are looking for a unique place to celebrate a special occasion, Seven is that place. The seating options (the Steakhouse, the Sushi bar, and the roof) and ambiance are perfect. The menu options are plentiful. The wait staff are true professionals. The food (petit fillets, mushrooms, and mashed sweet potatoes) are perfection. This is our favorite "special occasion" restaurant in the city.Special Features:
- AgeInterestingVIPDined on 8/28/2014I am not impressed with Seven: Steakhouse, Sushi Ultralounge, and Skybar. However, my dinner companions thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience, and the service provided by our adorable server, Lavita. While the fella's enjoyed starters of wings, and calamari of which they rated a strong 7, I went for the caperse salad…..not so good, the balsamic was a miss. For dinner, the New York Strip, 7 style….the fella's were sold!! I on the other hand had the Lobster Bisque, of which had plenty of Lobster, but was salty. With all this being said, I am really not the demographic for this restaurant, and I am most assuredly say I will not return. But for those under 35, I will recommend highly.Special Features:
- The meal was amazingJohnLDined on 8/25/2014Fantastic food. The steak was better than the steak at Manny's as well as the Sea Bass was fantastic. Would recommend the steakhouse at Seven to anyone. Our waitress and the other waiters made the evening enjoyable.Special Features:
- Great birthday night on the town!TiffinyDined on 8/23/2014Food was great, service decent. We stuffed ourselves with GREAT sushi, and our waiter brought a special treat (molten lava cake) for the birthday boy! Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible service, wait time & food!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/22/2014Our experience at Seven was horrible from the moment we arrived. Our reservation was unable to be honored due to table availability. We decided to sit at the bar and eat. Our service was horrible, we waited over 45 minutes for our appetizer and longer for our main dishes. Our main dishes were served 10 minutes apart from each other. When someone, obviously a manager, stopped to ask how our experience was, we told them of our dissatisfaction and she basically said I'm sorry to hear that and walked away as if she could care less about the issues.
- Good sushi and comfy boothsVannaswedeDined on 8/22/2014Celebrated our anniversary at Seven Sushi. Our server was very cordial and attentive, and we even got a couple of glasses of bubbly as a congratulations (we got to pick between dessert or bubbly) The only thing that was a negative was the view from our window seat. Asked for a nice view of downtown and got a view of the Block E construction zone - not that Seven can help that Block E is being renovated. Oh, and there seemed to be only one wine list for the entire restaurant. :-) We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dining before an event.PINKfanDined on 8/22/2014This is a prime spot for food and drinks before a sporting event, concert or theater show. The food is consistently good and the roof top bar is a nice place to sip a cocktail while enjoying the view of the downtown skyline.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerBusinessLunchDined on 8/22/2014Seven Steakhouse was fabulous. Host Noah and waiter David took great care of us and helped us celebrate our 38 years of marriage. Start off with a customized menu wished us a Happy 38th Anniversary. A bit of champagne followed by Crab cake and Chilled Shrimp appetizer was romantic and scrumptious. The bone-in filet was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Good view to do some wonderful people watching...the Twins game mixed with quite a few Kitty Cats heading to Katy Perry's concert. A great evening...Thank you Seven for a wonderful evening.Special Features:
- Wonderful Celebration DinnerPantera12Dined on 8/21/2014We dined here with our nephew to celebrate his graduation. The staff went out of their way to make the night special for him. We had tender mouth-watering steaks. The firecracker sushi roll was delicious. The truffle Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful. Topped off with creme brule for dessert. As great as the good was, the service was even better. Our waiter Pablo was exceptional. He answered questions, made recommendations and when secured a table on the rooftop patio for after dinner drinks. It was a fantastic night for all of us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad Sushi, High CostdcfoodieVIPDined on 8/20/2014Why do I ignore the signs? First, the chopsticks they provided were worse than those found at grocery stores - about 6" long and the kind you have to peel apart, leaving one thicker than the other. For a steakhouse charging $70+ for steaks, and a place calling itself a "Sushi Ultralounge" it can bump up the disposable utensils. Then there was the sushi itself; I ordered the sashimi platter. The sashimi was near mutilated on its edges, and the texture was off, especially the tuna. I should have said something then, but I failed. Then the bite, the bite that kept me up all night with frequent trips to the bathroom. I was too late. TLDR - the price does not match the quality. Our server was nice but not professional.
- Long delays and oblivious staffdowntowndinerDined on 8/20/2014When we sat down we advised the waiter that we only had 90 min to eat before we left. He recommended sushi, 75 minutes later we were still without food and viewing our second round of drinks slowly warming on the bar. When the food did arrive the rice was dry, tempura was thick and the fish tasteless. But for $140 why would I expect anything more? Never again.
- Gross.mplsblhDined on 8/20/2014First of all, our waiter was awesome. He did everything he could to make our experience good. Our problems were all with the actual food/cleanliness of the restaurant. The first problem we had was that our appetizer plates and bowls were dirty. Waiter brought us a new pair and they were dirty too (he noticed it before we did). We ordered a sushi appetizer. The appetizer took about 30 minutes and when we got it, most of the sushi was warm and some of it bordered on warmer than room temperature. We complained, got a new order right away and it was the same. At that point, we decided to cancel the rest of our order and head out as we had a show to go to. To their credit, they only charged us for our drinks.
- Had dinner with a friend from NYPurpleDined on 8/20/2014It was a good time with great ambiance, food and service. Can't wait to go back for the Truffle Mac & Cheese!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food took forever!kageevDined on 8/18/2014My friend and I made this "our" spot last Monday for the 1st time.She went with the all you can eat sushi & I got the Juicy Cheese Stuffed Burger.Our waitress mentioned the all you can eat sushi takes a while & that you can only order 3 rolls at a time,which we were fine with. But,she didn't mention it would take 40 minutes! During the entire 40 minutes, our waitress did not check back with us at all. She walked passed us about 10 times & never once gave us an update on our food until I stopped her myself. She could at least have said something like,"I apologize for the wait.We are shorthanded tonight and are really busy.We are still working on your sushi & it will be out asap". My burger arrived 5 min after my friend's food & it was rawSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/17/2014We've dined at Seven before and had a positive experience. For whatever reason, the service and ambiance were really lacking the night we were there. Our server was friendly, but he was very slow and they seemed to be confused on proper protocol. Just a weird dining experience over all, which was surprising. The food and drinks were good, which made up for the other issues.Special Features:
- wonderful service!gingersnapDined on 8/15/2014I made a reservation for my birthday for a group of people. Our server, Muhammed was very attentive and fun. He and several other people kept our water glasses full and made sure we always had what we needed. Food was great! We all ordered sushi. The only negative part was that I couldn't find the complimentary valet parking that was supposedly there, but that may have been my fault. I don't do downtown very well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 7 year anniversarysandinaDined on 8/11/2014my husband and i celebrated our 7 year anniversary at Seven. We sat in the ultralounge at the sushi bar. Sara our server was excellent making our experience perfect. she made us our bananas foster to perfection, was timely, friendly and fabulous! following dinner we went to the rooftop and met Ari, the best bartender ever. He made us laugh, was very friendly and was absolutely a sweetheart. thank you so much for making our anniversary wonderful!Special Features:
- Great food, hip sceneMikeSDined on 8/7/2014We love rooftop dining here, but the hip bar scene takes over on weeknights. You can't go wrong with sushi, steaks, or seafood. Very pricey but worth the spend for great food, service, and atmosphere. This is a must-visit whenever we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A Salad Fit for Your Skin
By Josie Garthwaite
Toss avocado, lettuce, and tomato with a splash of olive oil, and you have a healthy salad. Bottle them up with staples like aloe vera and sweet almond oil, and you have a recipe for serious beauty boosting.
Traditional salad ingredients increasingly appear in creams, masks, and other facial products. Dermatologists Ranella Hirsch of Boston and Jeanette Jacknin of Phoenix say there's more to the trend than companies juicing products with buzz-worthy ingredients. "Olive oil has been used for years for youthful skin," says Jacknin, author of Smart Medicine for Your Skin (Avery, 2001). With good reason: The oil is rich in skin-soothing vitamin E.
Another standby, cucumber, now has scientific proof that it reduces puffiness around the eyes—and maybe more. Certain acids and compounds in the vegetable (well, technically it's a fruit) help combat inflammation, which Jacknin describes as the single greatest culprit in age-related conditions—from Alzheimer's to wrinkled, sagging skin.
Ingredients like tomato and carrot deliver benefits through their antioxidants. When eaten, they fight cell damage in your body much the way citrus juice can prevent a slice of apple from turning brown, explains Hirsch. In facial treatments, antioxidants like vitamin C and beta- carotene help stave off damage (read: signs of age) from sun exposure, smoke, and pollution.
So next time you're in the beauty aisle, take your grocery list with you—or pull this one out for reference.
This creamy fruit comes packed with fatty acids and vitamins B, C, E, and K. Vitamins C and E fight sun damage best when used together, so the combination in avocado can safeguard sun-exposed skin along with other protective measures. Skin readily absorbs avocado oil, making it ideal for face creams.
As in other dark yellow and orange vegetables, the antioxidant beta-carotene in carrots defends against environmental stressors that wreak havoc on your skin over time. You'll find carrot root and seed oils mostly in moisturizers.
Cucumber contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that also helps ward off sun damage. (Note: You still need to wear sunscreen!) More than that, this veggie-like fruit boasts caffeic acid, which helps reduce inflammation. Labels may list vitamin C as ascorbic acid.
You'll often find lettuce extracts in eye treatments because dark-leaf lettuce provides a natural source of vitamin K, which may help diminish dark circles. Vitamin K sometimes appears on labels as phylloquinone. Chlorophyll, the substance that makes lettuce (and other plants) green, also has an antioxidant effect, helping to slow signs of aging. Herbalists have long used wild lettuces for their calming effects, and you can now find them in complexion-soothing facial treatments.
Olive oil
A natural emollient, olive oil boasts a rich store of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. It also offers an alternative, vegetar...

Falling temps and falling snow mean it's time to break out the mittens, scarves and heavy coats. But it's also time for hot chocolate, sledding, snowball fights and ice skating!
The weather outside might not be your "ideal weather," but it's just fine for the city of Toledo's outdoor ice rink.
The Ottawa Park Ice Rink, located on Bancroft Street in west Toledo, will open for the winter season with open skating from 1-9 p.m. Saturday. General admission is $4 and skate rental is $2. Children age 3 and under get in free. For senior citizens age 55 and older admission is $2.50.
Season passes are available this year for $125 per family, $35 for individuals and $25 for senior citizens age 55 and older. Season passes provide unlimited admission to the skating rink, skate rental is an additional cost.
City parks and recreation crews have been busy getting the facility ready to open. Toledo's Parks and Recreation Manager Sherrie Shipman says the opening of the rink was really in the hands of Mother Nature.
"We started cleaning out the warming house and the restrooms, and started setting up the concession stand about two weeks ago. Last week it was warm and sunny - and sunny is not a good friend to make ice. So we waited until this week to make ice," explained Shipman.
Find the ice rink's full open skate schedule, special events and additional information online or call 419-245-3388. Visitors planning an outing to the Ottawa Park Ice Rink are encouraged to call the ice condition hotline at 419-936-2997 in advance.

The Houston-based company, which owns and operates the natural gas liquids (NGLs) sector of Enterprise Products Company (EPCO), received a go signal from Deutsche Bank when the Germany-headquartered investment analysts issued a note to investors stating that the multinational firm has a "buy" rating. The target price increased from $60 to $62, and trading closed with a notable +.80%. Does this mean you should trade EPD? Read on.
The most recent earnings data released by Enterprise Products Partners last November stated that the company had a $0.66 EPS for the quarter; $0.06 more than what Thomson Reuters initially predicted. Although the company's quarterly income dipped 7.6% lower based on an annual basis, overall, analysts are still quite optimistic that Enterprise Products Partners will merit at least $2.62 in profits per share for the current fiscal year, with stocks gaining almost fourteen percent. This comes after news that one of its subsidiaries will transport goods for another subsidiary, SeaRiver of ExxonMobil Corporation, for the latter's United States operations for a yet unspecified number of years starting the first of January, 2013.
Zacks analysts are evidently in agreement as they confirmed a "buy" rating on the company's shares. Investment analysts at Credit Suisse, meanwhile, are much more confident: they gave an "outperform" rating and even raised the target price on shares from $60 to $61. This is possibly another positive result generated by news of its Seaway Pipeline joint venture with Enbridge, Incorporated and other smaller players; in addition to plans of a 580-mile-long NGL pipeline to be laid across the Lake Houston Wilderness Park.
Kinder Morgan
The numbers and ratings for rival company Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) the world's largest pipeline conglomerate, are a mixed bag. With a $39 target price, Zacks gave the energy transportation, storage, and distribution company, a neutral rating. An analyst of the said notable investment research firm reiterated that they are "maintaining long-term recommendation on Kinder Morgan at neutral, ahead of its fourth quarter results" which means that the company is likely to onto hold that slot in the near future. This is surprising, coming from Zacks, especially as KMI's acquisition of El Paso Corporation contributed heavily to being named the biggest in terms of being a pipeline conglomerate. Furthermore, this acquisition also helped multiply the company's fourth-quarter revenue to more than double of the previous year, in addition to the ever-present demand for natural gas. KMI even exceeded Zacks' estimate of $0.67 by at least $0.08. Quarterly results were also higher by more than 36%, mainly due to the pipeline network's expanded distribution. While Deutsche Bank posted a "buy" rating on the company with target price on shares from $45 to $48, The Street also confirmed a somewhat confusing "sell" rating for Kinder Morgan.
Energy Transfer Partners
US-based limited partnership Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE: ETP) looks just as poised to take the spotlight. For one thing, Deutsche Bank lifted its target price from $50 to $53 and released a "buy" rating for the company. Investment experts at Barclays Capital also have the same number, $53 on the target price, and an "overweight" rating on their report. Analysts at Zacks were more cautious, pegging the target price at $45 and giving the stock a "neutral" rating. Bank of America, it seems, saw similarly; their analysts gave the company an increase in target price from $47 to $48, but kept their rating at "neutral." ETP and other midstream companies, however, still seem to be afloat due to the glut in transport opportunities such as those they provide. ETP and its upcoming merger with Regency Energy Partners in the next several months should also boost stock price and gains, with the concomitant increase in efficiency and reduction of capital costs. Quarterly distribution is also expected to grow larger this year with the company's efforts to diversify finally coming to a head.
The Verdict
EPD's announcement of its 2012 fourth-quarter earnings is yet to come on January 31, 2013 prior to the opening of NYSE trading. Currently trading at attractive levels, stock from this company is likely to be profitable for the current shareholder and potential trader alike, as equity capital cost was significantly reduced, in addition to other positive business developments.

Go Demons!
The Delco Demons have passed the halfway point of this season for all three teams, and are looking strong despite the work ahead to finish the year. With a first ever matchup against the New Jersey Nightmare this weekend, and the Mid-Atlantic vs. Northeast Festival next weekend, the Demons are poised to take on the remaining challenges they face this year.
The Demons Elites are setting the pace for the division, holding 1st place with a 13-0-0-1 record and 4 games in hand over the second place Liberty, who are 5 points back. Jack Phelan leads the way with 15 goals, while AJ Ehinger leads in assists (13) and points (23). With 8 players of 12 posting double digit point totals, the Demons are incredibly deep. At the goaltending position the even balance remains, with Kozik leading the way with 7 wins, and Maczynski undefeated with 6 wins and a 1.67 GAA. Following the matchup this weekend with the Nightmare, the Elites look forward to the festival games including a prime-time match against the 495ers, and close the season out with a rematch against the Liberty and Nightmare at home.
The Demons Minor Black team closed their half of the season clinging to 2nd place in the division, by dropping two games to the Pittsburgh Bandits in Pittsburgh and an 8-3-1-0 record, and look to rebound this weekend against the Nightmare. The Dangelantonio Brothers continue to lead the team in all three major categories, with Nick leading assists (11), and Joe leading goals (22) and points (25). Justin Brennan leads the way with a 5-2 record in net, while Steven Stewart posts a 2.80 GAA. Following next weekend's festival, the Black squad closes out the season with a home and home series against the Central Jersey Fanatics, and the Nightmare at home on the 30th.
The Demons Minor Orange team (4-6-0-0) picked up their pace last week and took out the Bandits in two big overtime wins, propelling them into 5th place in the division. Dominic Gricco leads the way in goals (6), while Vince Panaccio leads in assists (6) and points (9). Sean Yingling leads in net with 2 wins, and Craig Fultz has the best GAA (2.71). The Orange squad has the most games remaining, following the festival with games against the Fanatics, Liberty, and Nightmare, and look to keep on the winning track this weekend with more wins on the road.
This weekend holds a rare Sunday afternoon tilt in Voorhees, NJ, with the two clubs being so close geographically. Minor Black kicks off the action at 1pm, followed by the Elites at 2:45pm, and Minor Orange at 4:45pm. Join us on the road and help us possess the Nightmare's home rink. Tickets are only $5 for admission to all games.
The Delco Demons Elites and Minor Black teams are heading south to take on the Richmond Robins on the road this Saturday the 26th. Games begin at 12pm EST, and will be aired on The Robins internet broadcasting channels - www.ispn3d.com and www.livesportsvideo.com.
Saturday will start up with a heavy rivalry in the minor division at 12:00, as the Minor Black team split with the Robins at home during the season opener. The Demons have to find a way to start early and try to take 2 games from the Robins, with second place in the division within grasp. The Elites will look to continue their winning ways at 1:30pm against an improved Robins Elite team. The Robins haven't been in action since taking on the Cougars the same weekend as the Demons home opener.
The Demons and Cougars organization took over the news this weekend with a home and home series, marking their first and last match-ups this season.
The action started Saturday Night at The Hockey Dek in Springfield, PA, when the Cougars and Demons Black minor teams kicked off the weekend with a split. The Demons went down early in game 1 and weren't able to recover, losing to the Cougars 5-1. Game 2 was a different story, with the Demons and Cougars trading goals in the first period, and Demons pulling away in the second, for a 7-5 victory.
The Elites followed with a tightly contested first game, which the Demons took 3-2, despite a second period surge by the Cougars. The second game of the match-up saw the teams trade goals in the first period, only to have the Demons explode for 4 goals in the second period, and take the game 7-2.
Back in action on Sunday morning, it was the Demons Orange Minor team to start things off against the Cougars. The Orange team struggled in the first game, falling 9-1 to the Cougars, but were able to turn it around in the second game with a better defensive strategy. Unfortunately, scoring didn't follow suit, and they again fell to the Cougars, 3-0.
The Elites again suited up against each other in New Jersey Sunday afternoon, and the Demons picked up where they left off, winning the first game in convincing fashion, by a score of 7-1. In game 2, the Demons kept it going, holding off a late desperation run by the Cougars, for a 7-4 win.
With the 4 win sweep of the Cougars, the Demons Elites sit in second place (9-0-0-1) behind the Liberty, with 6 games in hand, and the Cougars fall to third. With their 3 wins, the Cougars minors climb into 1st place, while Demons Black sits in third behind the Robins, and Demons Orange remains in fifth place.
Next up for the Elite and Minor Black teams is a trip to Richmond, VA to take on the Robins. This is a big conference match-up for the Minor Division, as the teams split earlier this month, and second place is up for grabs. The Minor Orange team is off until February 16th on a trip to Pittsburgh, PA, with the rest of the Demons club.
The Demons are headed north to take on the Philadelphia Liberty at the Northeast Racquetball Club.
The night will kick off at 7:30pm with the Elite Division. Demons Elites enter the contest 4-0-0-0, while the Liberty Elites sit in first place at 9-5-0-0. Demons are led in scoring by Jack Phelan (7) and AJ Ehinger and Kevin Keene lead in assists (4), while Brian Fischer leads the Liberty in goals (18) and Chris Altomare leads in assists (16).
Next up is back to back matchups in the minor division, with the Liberty hosting both the Demons Black and Demons Orange teams. The Liberty are 4-6-0-0, while Demons Black is 3-1-0-0 and Demons Orange is 2-2-0-0. Leading the way in scoring for the Liberty is Joe Carpino and Shane Ryan (5), and leading in assists is Mike Malvestuto (5). For Demons Black, Joe Dangelantonio leads in scoring (8) while his brother Nick leads in assists (5). For Demons Orange, Rob Basquill leads in scoring (4) while Vince Panaccio leads in assists (3).
This matchup proves to be a pivotal one for all teams, as the Liberty Elites look to halt a 6 game losing streak, while the Demons look to continue their undefeated ways. The Liberty Minors halted a 5 game losing streak of their own in OT in December. The Demons Minor Black and Demons Minor Orange both look to continue after their sweep of the Bandits last week, with the opportunity to climb above the Liberty in the Minor Division standings within reach.
Stay tuned for more details, but the Demons swept the Bandits in dominating fashion this weekend. Scores and stats will be posted shortly, but the Demons posted 6 more wins on Sunday, putting the club's record at 9-3.
The Demons Elites are currently sitting in 3rd place with 8 points. The Demons Black Minors are 3-1, and currently sitting in 4th place, while the Demons Orange Minors are 2-2 and tied for 5th place.
Up next for all three teams is a set of road games against the Philadelphia Liberty. The Liberty Elites (9-5-0-0) and Minors (4-6-0-0) have a significant head start in games played, as they started their season at the beginning of December with a mini festival against Richmond and Pittsburgh. This is already a strong rivalry, as the teams are a mere 45 minutes apart, and the Liberty Elites eliminated the Demons from the playoffs in their inaugural season. Games start at 6:00pm Saturday, January 12th. Check out www.aihlhockey.com for more.
The Demons opened their 2012-2013 season with 3 wins Saturday night, kicking off what intends to be a big rivalry with the Richmond Robins at the Minor League level.
The Demons Black Minor Squad fell to the Robins in game 1 4-1, but bounced right back winning game 2 8-1. Joe Dangelantonio led the way with 5 goals in game 2, with his brother Nick kicking in 4 assists. Dominic Denker is already contributing, as he scored his first goal on American soil, after arriving last week from Namibia.
The Demons Elite team blanked the Robins 3-0 and 10-0, as JJ Fichter led the way with 4 goals on the night, with everyone registering a point in the two games.
The Demons Orange Minor team fell to the Robins in both games, 3-0 and 2-0. Defensively responsible, but missing a scoring touch, the team will look to rebound today against the Bandits.
Sunday action kicks off at 9:30 am against the Pittsburgh Bandits, with all three teams in action.
Due to a technical difficulty, we weren't able to live update yesterday as expected. We're working on resolving that, but in the mean time, stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates.
The Delco Demons open their second season this weekend with back to back home games against the Richmond Robins and Pittsburgh Bandits. It's been a long off-season, and an even longer preseason. By condensing the schedule after the holidays, the club hopes more continuity will lead to a second season even more successful than the first. Games against the Robins start at 6:00pm Saturday night, and the Bandits come in at 9:30am Sunday morning.
More paramount to the potential for a big year is the addition of elite talent, and the deepening of the depth chart to include the addition of a third team. Last year's elite team returns it's core, and to balance the loss of Eric Keene, Frank Szilagyi, Mike Marconi, Jason Allen, and Justin Brown, the Demons have brought in big names including JJ Fichter, Tom Youmans, Mike Maczynski, Adam St. Clair, Mike Longo, and Jon Donohue. At the minor level, the Demons have added a second team, splitting last year's returning players in half, and adding an incredible amount of depth, including Joe and Nick Dangelantonio, Matt Hellhake, Tom Pflaumer, Eric Hansell, Mike Sabol, Pete Zwolak, Phil Leroux, Dominic Gricco, Joe Hutchison, Alex Tarczynski, Bob Sherwood, Xavier Ramirez, and Dominic Denker. Denker comes to the Demons all the way from Namibia, Africa, the same town as Otwin Foerster, who returned home after last year.
All of the Demons award winning touches for the game day experience will be back this year, and more. This year the Demons will be offering waitress service for their season ticket holders, new locker rooms for visiting teams and officials, exciting giveaways, prizes, and more. Get your tickets online today @ www.delcodemons.com/SeasonTicketSale Loaded Tickets are available for purchase at the games, entitling the buyer to all the perks of a season ticket, including all you can eat and drink, as well.
The Robins elites have opened their 2012 season with a record of 3-4-0-0 with big wins over the Bandits, and close losses to the Philadelphia Liberty in early December. The Robins minors have soared early in 2012 with a perfect record of 4-0-0-0 against the same teams. The Bandits have struggled so far in the 2012 season with a record of 0-7-0-0 in the elite division and 1-5-0-0 in the minor division, against the Liberty and Robins. Both teams should prove to be a challenging start to the season for the Demons, especially if the Bandits can get all of their talent, including Dustin Roux, to Delco.
Stay Tuned for live updates this weekend, including photos, videos, and game recaps for all 12 games of exciting, non-stop action.
The Delco Demons are happy to announce their finalized 2013 Regular Season Schedule.

The Delco Demons are proud to announce their AIHL Club Roster. The tryout process this season, though much early this calendar year, produced the deepest tryout the region has seen in some time, resulting in 3 AIHL rosters poised to compete and win this season.
It is yet to be determined how the AIHL will structure the addition of secondary minor teams this year, and as such, divisional rosters will be held until the picture is more clear at the national level. Without further delay, your Delco Demons:
With final calls from tryouts looming in the near future, the Demons will host their final tryout session this Saturday from 1-4pm at The Hockey Dek in Springfield, PA. This session is by invite only, and cost is included in the open session registration players have already completed. Coach Sobel will use this session to make the final comparisons necessary to fill out the rosters for the 2012-2013 season.
After the past three weeks, including both open tryout sessions in early August, and an immensely successful two-tier iron man tournament last week, it is certain to be a long and tough decision making process. With so much in the works, it is sure to be a proud moment when these rosters come together, which will be fast. Practices will start September 1st with a mandatory skate and team meeting for all those extended a roster spot.
Congratulations to our winning teams from each division in our first Iron Man tournament of the season. Details on the next event will be posted soon!
Stay Tuned September 1st for the first big announcement of the season… Your Delco Demons…
The first day of tryouts is complete, and only one thing is certain; This club is going to be very competitive in both divisions this season.
More than half of the expected attendees skated during the first of two open sessions yesterday, and coach Sobel put it best: "There isn't a bad player on this floor." Making these teams will be a real accomplishment.
Next Saturday can't come quick enough!
With the recent website outage, it's obvious that information didn't get out at large about tryouts coming up. Here is everything you need to know…
The Demons are holding tryouts for the coming season, and are looking to fill three competitive rosters. An AIHL Elite, AIHL Minor, and Prospect roster will be filled from this one tryout. For more information, read the writeup under "Tryout Registry" or the Tryout Announcement article below or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Tryouts will serve as our first look to improve on our rosters from last season. All spots will be earned by those attending, and all decisions will be made by our Head Coach, Brian Sobel. You can get all the information from the article below by scrolling down.
Be sure to bring a white and black jersey, preferably with your last name on the back of both to each tryout.
The Hockey Dek in Springfield, PA. For Directions, check out the page under the "Information" menu above.
Open Tryouts are Saturday, August 4th, 2012 and Saturday, August 11th, 2012. You aren't required to attend both sessions to be eligible for the callback session on Saturday, August 25th, 2012, but as with any tryout, the more we see you, the better your chances are of making a team. All three sessions will run from 1-4pm, and Registration will start at 12pm. We expect all players on the floor by 12:45pm for warmups, unless we are otherwise informed of a need for lateness.
How Much? Tryouts cost $50 for new players, and $25 for returning players. This flat fee covers all of your rink time. Players should all register online or in person with a $25 deposit. Our policy is to charge a $25 processing fee for all late registrations. Typically, this would be enforced Midnight, the day before the first session, but with this website outage we've extended the early registration window to include the week in between the Open Sessions.
And the biggest question… Why? Because the Delco Demons are the premier organization in the area, with an award winning staff and family atmosphere. This is your chance to join the family. We hope to see you on the rink at tryouts, and wish you the best of luck.
The Delco Demons site is up and running live again, and improvements will be rolling out rapidly as the season approaches. We've upgraded the back end to allow live posting from events as the year goes on, including photo galleries, video, and full articles, giving you real time results and news throughout the coming year.
We've also started developing a new feature for this year, the Demons Locker Room, where players can go for up to date information, alerts, and schedules for their teams. This will be released before the season begins, and we're excited for the potential this will hold for the club.
If you see any problems with the site, want to give us some feedback, or have a great idea for us to implement, send us an email to email@example.com

Additional expenses incurred over the course of the season are the responsibility of the player, including playoffs, equipment, and travel, and can be covered through fundraising and/or sponsorship.

Fundraisers will include, but are not limited to: Bi-monthly Iron Man Tournaments, Season Ticket Sales, Demons Swag Sales, Game Day 50-50 Raffles, Philadelphia Sports Season Ticket Raffles, ESPN Magazine Subscription Sales, and Beef and Beer celebrations. In addition, team and player sponsorship packages will be available. Each type of fundraiser and sponsorship opportunity will contribute differently to the club and player, and all details are outlined in the Demons Handbook.
For this commitment of time, energy, and money, you will be a part of the 2012-2013 Demons Organization. This will include game time participation in the AIHL Elite and/or Minor League seasons as dictated by the Head Coach, weekly men's league games and practice time on Thursday evenings, additional practice camps on Saturday afternoons when games are not scheduled, a full Demons Gear package (uniform, warm-ups, t-shirt, hat, and practice jerseys), and access to exclusive team discounts on any Revision brand products, and further discounts on orders through The Hockey Dek Pro Shop. The AIHL regular season lasts from December through the end of March, with divisional playoffs in April. We will be attempting to push the season's start into January if possible this season to truncate the length of the year. Finals have not yet been announced, but typically are held at a vacation destination over Memorial Day weekend. Elite and Minor divisions play a 24 game season. Home and Away games are double headers, and will be played on Saturdays between 6 and 10pm and Sundays between 10am and 2pm. There will be 5 home dates, and 5 away dates against divisional opponents. The remainder of the season will be played against out of division opponents in a festival format. These festivals have not yet been announced, but likely locations include Pittsburgh, PA and/or Long Island, NY. More information on the league can be found at www.aihlhockey.com.

An investigator in the case of the 19-year-old on trial for murder testified that the defendant changed his story in a second interview.
Former Dade County Sheriff's Detective Brittany Gilleland told the jury this morning that, when she interviewed Johnathan Ellison a second time, he told her he had watched as James Oglesby stabbed Antwane Hyatte over and over again.
Then Ellison told her that Oglesby had threatened to hurt his family if he called police.
Ellison, 19, is on trial this week for two counts of felony murder and one count each of malice murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery, while Oglesby, 27, will be tried next year on the same charges for the death of the 35-year-old Hyatte.
Gilleland said she didn't believe Ellison was telling the truth in the second interview because in an earlier interview he said he stabbed Hyatte a few times in the stomach to defend himself.
Hyatte was found dead on Ellison's doorstep on March 16.
Testimony will resume after lunch with Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent James Harris on the stand.

Whatever you might think about image rich emails you have to admit clients are a fan, and sometimes needs must.
The web, as always, comes to the rescue and their are a few good articles around – many of them over on campaignmonitor.com including a set of Email Design Guidelines for 2006, Optimizing CSS presentation in HTML emails and the excellent A Guide to CSS Support in Email
A List Apart also has an older article and their is some good infmation over on xavierfrenette.com about the support in web mail clients.
Another little bit of useful info I thought worth posting, after a quick conversation with a colleague, concerns the use of background images in emails.
Assuming your going down the inline styles route you might want to have something like this:

;
But this just doesn't work. The image doesn't appear when the email is sent. A quick fix is to include the image inline, but hide it as much as possible with a height and width of 1px and a style of display: none.

This throws up one of those interesting annoyances in Outlook. If you're sending the email using Outlook the image appears twice in the editing pane, hence the 1px trick as well as the style display: none. When it's received the style rule gets applied.
This assumes you are sending the images along with the email, rather than simply linking to them online were you dont have this problem – but do have a host of other issues with blocked images and the like.
I haven't admittedly tested this extensively, however I've had a lot of luck with Outlook, which for business to business emails accouts for something like 75% of the audience according to Campaign Monitor (and probably around what I'd expect based on my experience).

Thanks for your reply Colin, gee you must make a lot of chocolates!!
However, I am using 25kg lots each of raw organic cacao butter and powder so was wondering what suppliers others use.
I just buy chocolate callets and cocoa butter. No beans. I use F.Mayer Imports in Sydney and the rep's name is Gary Willis ph 0413-749-423.
I buy small orders of about 200Kg - 1000Kg at a time (once a month) and not everyone will work with you at those amounts.

Module descriptions for the following programmes:
Covers areas of moral and political philosophy, addressing questions such as whether moral facts are like scientific or mathematical facts; how we should resolve moral disagreements; theories concerning how we are to act; what the nature of political authority is; and what the justifications are for having a government.
This course introduces the students to the history of philosophy, and the philosophical topics that have been discussed in the past, to give a sound grounding in the contemporary issues. Philosophers such as Locke, Leibniz, Descartes, Aristotle and Plato have all been covered on this module in previous years.
This module introduces students to contemporary epistemology and metaphysics. The epistemology portion covers such topics as what knowledge is; how we are justified in believing things; and how inductive knowledge works. The metaphysics portion covers such topics as the existence of God; the existence of abstract things such as properties; whether we have free will or not; and the nature of consciousness.
This module gives students an introduction to logic. It will teach you how to carry out natural deduction in both propositional and predicate logic; create truth tables; and includes some practical applications of logic.
This module equips students with the research and essay writing skills for studying philosophy at undergraduate level. In the first semester tutorials focus on putting those skills into practice with a range of selected philosophical topics, whilst in the second semester students select a philosophical topic of their own to produce a single assessed essay on.
This module introduces some of the main themes and issues in 20th century and contemporary analytic metaethics.
This module introduces central issues in contemporary philosophy of mind, focusing on the problem of whether our mental experience, especially its subjective character, can be incorporated into the naturalistic, scientific picture of the world.
After presenting a general historical background which stresses the new philosophical problems generated by the rise of modern natural science in the context of traditional conceptions of substance, the module covers the five parts of Spinoza's Ethics.
Continuing from Philosophical Texts and Methods in the first year, this module consists of weekly seminars with a member of staff for in-depth discussion of one selected text. No use of secondary material is envisaged, to encourage close engagement with the selected texts.
This will be an exploration of fundamental philosophical issues raised by the practice of science. It will cover issues in scientific methodology, scientific knowledge, the language of science, the relation between scientific theories and reality, the rationality of science and progress and the relation between science and society.
This module will examine contemporary political philosophy. This module will explore different aspects of one of the most important debates in the contemporary political philosophy. It begins from John Rawls's seminal account of justice which understands justice as fairness. This view of justice emphasises: (i) the protection of basic civil liberties, (ii) the creation of fair equality of opportunity, and (iii) the redistribution of wealth and income to maximally benefit the economically worst off. Rawls argues for this conception of justice both by relying on our prior intuitions about justice, and by using a sophisticated argument based on a hypothetical social contract.
The module will then critically examine the following important responses to Rawls:
a) G.A. Cohen's left-wing criticism according to which Rawls's theory leaves too much room for objectionable inequality-creating incentives.
b) Robert Nozick's right-wing criticism according to which Rawls's theory fails to respect our ownership rights to ourselves and to the products of our labour. At this point, we will also consider both Nozick's own version of libertarianism (the so-called historical entitlement theory of justice), and Philippe Van Parijs's left-libertarian view.
c) Ronald Dworkin's alternative version of liberal egalitarianism which concentrates on both the equality of resources and personal responsibility.
d) Elizabeth Anderson's general objections to luck egalitarianism.
e) Susan Moller Okin's feminist view according to which the scope of Rawls's theory should be extended to the personal sphere of families.
Will Kymlicka's proposal according to which liberal egalitarian theories should be able to accord certain special protections to certain minority cultures.
This module builds on the skills students learnt in Logic A&B at first year. Topics include the nature of logical consequence; questions concerning which logical system is the correct system; modal reasoning; and how we should interpret conditional statements.
As with Independent Study I, students select a philosophical topic of their own for independent research. Throughout the module, students receive lectures on essay writing skills; starting research projects and how to carry out a research project.
Currently this module focuses on the extreme form of seventeenth century rationalism developed by Benedict Spinoza in his main work, the Ethics. Topics included: substance, mind and body, knowledge, emotion, virtue, freedom and necessity.
The focus of the course will be on some of the most original and influential views and arguments in 20th Century Metaphysics. The topics covered are: personal identity; free will; realism and nominalism; and persistence over time.
This module concentrates on the metaphysical issues in personal identity and whether or not we have free will.
The questions we will discuss in this module include whether God created the universe; proofs for the existence of God; the compatibility of divine foreknowledge with human freedom; and whether there is a conflict between science and religion.
The module focuses on the nature of delusions, and examines the interplay between philosophical theories of the mind and data from psychology and psychiatry on the following thematic areas: human rationality, the nature of beliefs and self-knowledge.
Language is a phenomenally important and powerful device that lies at the heart of human life. (Try to imagine what life would be like without it.) Yet it is utterly perplexing. In the majority of cases in which you hear or read a sentence (or for that matter, say or write one) the sentence is one you have never encountered before; and yet you understand these sentences with virtually no effort. How does this work? What are linguistic expressions' 'meanings', and what is it to understand them? These questions dominated later 20th century analytic philosophy, and candidate answers to them contribute not only to the philosophy of language itself, but also to metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, ethics and many other areas of philosophy.
Although we'll begin with an examination of accounts of meaning associated with Russell and Frege (and in much less detail, Locke and Mill), our approach throughout the module will be problem-based rather than historical. In the first half of the module our main focus will be on the notion of reference - the relation between a particular word and the worldly thing it 'picks out'. In the second half we'll focus on more general issues to do with speakers' understanding and uses of whole languages.
This module explores the way in which Schopenhauer developed the transcendental idealism of Kant into a comprehensive metaphysics.
This module will focus on one approach to normative ethics: virtue ethics. The module will introduce students to criticisms of other major forms of normative theory, specifically deontology and utilitarianism.
This course introduces students to the increasing number of dilemmas in bioethics that cross national boundaries and transcend domestic regulation.
This module allows you to conduct independent research into and write on a particular philosophical issue of your choice, with assistance from a project supervisor with expertise in your chosen topic.
This module covers issues in the Philosophy and Ethics of sex, including some of: liberal versus 'traditional' understandings of the function of sex; the harm principle; consent and competence to give it; what laws the state should/may impose relating to sex; the permissibility of contraception, homosexuality, pornography and prostitution. The module employs the topic of sex as a route into fundamental issues in ethics and philosophy concerning liberalism, the law, the nature of ethics and related issues.

- Our total attendance was 6,220 people. Largest attendance in the history of New Life!
- Between both campuses we had 1448 kids from birth to sixth grade.
- The Maple Valley campus had 467 people. Just two years ago this campus had 30 people.
- 127 kids turned from sin and put their trust in Jesus.
- It took over 500 volunteers to make Easter Weekend happen.
- People consumed 1200 free cups of coffee Easter Weekend.
- New Life gave $20,500 to end Sex Slavery.
- On Saturday night alone we had 1664 people.
- Kids ministry gave away 2000 Peeps to kids. This is 168,000 calories.
- Connection card after connection card, people said they repented of their self-righteous attitudes.
- Connection card after connection card, people said they are making New Life their home!
- New Life caused a traffic jam on Maple Valley and Jones road.
- For those of who are new to New Life……welcome! Great time to become a part of the church!

"When we need to customize motor configurations to optimize performance, we simulate the whole system in Simulink, and the development phase gets much faster."
Ludo Faes, Protronic
To prevent fabric defects, weaving machines must quickly reach speeds of 1,500 cycles per minute. Protronic, the main group of the technologies division of the Picanol Group, develops mechatronical systems and drives for high-precision weaving machines. To achieve the required dynamic performance, Protronic develops switched reluctance motors (SRMs) that feature a simple and robust construction for handling high torque/volume ratio.
Protronic uses Simulink and CEDRAT's FLUX finite element analysis tool to simulate and optimize SRM drives for various applications, including non-textile, without building costly hardware prototypes.
"SRM motors are mechanically very simple, but they require complex control," explains Nico Verhelst, systems engineer for Protronic. "Together, Simulink and FLUX enabled us to meet our requirements of simulating the motor control strategy and obtaining an accurate torque waveform, in combination with the simulation of the load."
"A weaving machine is a very demanding and complex real-time application," explains Ludo Faes, Protronic research and development manager. "These machines contain many axes, requiring synchronization of multiple high-performance motors."
A key technical challenge was to integrate the motor's electromagnetic properties into the overall design of a dynamic application. To obtain the desired results, Protronic needed a way to simulate the controls and mechanical loads with the electromagnetic effects of the SRM.
Protronic also needed to validate and optimize their designs without building expensive prototypes. With the customer waiting for results, they needed to complete the total design within weeks, while a normal integrated design of this extent would easily take months.
Protronic met their deadline by using Simulink and FLUX to model, simulate, and optimize the weaving machine and SRM designs.
"We wanted to combine the torque calculated by FLUX with the speed, ease of use, and open control interface of Simulink," notes Verhelst. "This combination of tools provided an ideal simulation environment."
Engineers modeled the dynamics of the load in Simulink using analytical formulas for variable inertia and damping. They modeled the control strategy for the motor with Simulink and incorporated the electromagnetic model of the SRM with FLUX-to-Simulink technology. They optimized system performance by simulating custom motor configurations.
To obtain accurate, complete system results, the team used FLUX-to-Simulink technology to run FLUX and Simulink computations in transient cosimulation.
Using MATLAB, engineers analyzed the effects of the motor torque waveform.
Simulink also enabled engineers to optimize system performance as well as the position, speed, and torque controllers, by iteratively adjusting the motor configuration and then re-running the simulation to validate performance.
Faes notes, "We use Simulink to analyze the effect of our motor performance on different parts of the application. For example, if we are concerned about the exchange of energy between axes, we can easily examine that using scopes in Simulink."
Combining its technical expertise with Simulink and FLUX, Protronic has become the European leader in applying SRM technology in industrial machines and has built an installed base of more than 150,000 units in the last decade. Protronic plans to continue to use MathWorks tools and FLUX on a wide range of customer applications.
To avoid building costly prototypes in the design and optimization of complex weaving machines and other systems driven by switched reluctance motors
Use Simulink to create comprehensive models and accurate simulations that leverage CEDRAT's FLUX technology for finite element analysis and electromagnetic design

As white people, we are used to representations of ourselves crowding the covers of magazines, crowning the posters of newly released films. The good guys are white, we have learned, after eons of our faces being plastered under cowboy hats and in impeccable Bond suits. White men are Superman, we have learned. White men are Ethan Hunt and Neo and white men are hobbits. Bad men, we have learned, are black. They're gang bangers and thugs and talk loud and sometimes deliver funny lines where we laugh at their Otherness. Black men aren't heroes, we learn. Our imagination and subconscious are so saturated with white supremacist notions of goodness, beauty, and heroism, that when confronted head-on with an image of a black man who is brilliant and kind and normal and who saves the day, we transform into robotic versions of ourselves: Does… not… compute. Hero… must be… white. It's this line of thinking that turned Disney's Princess Tiana into an animal for 95 percent of the movie. The collective white imagination had difficulty imagining a black girl as a princess… and so she became a frog.

Pandas Are Top of the Charts with Little Girls
Boys are trickier. However, the Lake District Tourist Board is offering MP3 downloads of soothing sounds to counteract the blues of the clocks going back. The downloads range from the sound of fresh air blowing across England's highest mountain, to a reading of Wordsworth's Daffodils or Cumberland sausage sizzling in a pan. It's the sausages that appeal to the boys, of course.
Once the children are feeling brighter, I usually recommend that they should go outside and play with their friends. But, more and more, I feel that this is completely alien to them. It seems that safety concerns, their parents' working hours, and a host of other reasons mean that these children rarely play outdoors when they are home. It's a pest, because I find that children respond very well to their breathing exercises when they are physically active.
One of the fastest ways to help a young child who is distressed is to listen to them, help them to change their mood, and then encourage them to shake off the physical signs of stress by running around etc. Playing Simon Says indoors, and having a couple of, Simon Says, "Shake like a wobbly jelly" or "Do star jumps" is useful, but not the same.
Most children have excellent, robust health, and, despite all of the dire headlines that distort news coverage, many of them seem to be happy, confident and vibrant. However, every so often, I have a run of children who eat nothing but calorie-dense, nutrient-free food, they take no exercise, they are frequently absent from school, they live in poor-quality housing and have chaotic family lifestyles. Oddly enough, those children can be withdrawn or belligerent, they can be pale and pasty, they can be very unhappy. We can work with the children in the workshops but there may be no adults at home who have the energy or interest to supervise the 'homework'. I really do need to meet an economist who can help me to price up the cost of doing nothing with these children v. the cost of introducing school-based programmes in certain areas.
