Demel is one of the most famous Viennese pastry at the carbon (cabbage) market (Kohlmarkt) 14 in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. Demel was a k.u.k. Hofzuckerbäcker and runs this item today in public.
History
1778 came the of Wurttemberg stemming confectioner Ludwig Dehne to Vienna. 1786, he founded his pastry shot at the place of St. Michael. Dehne died in 1799 of tuberculosis. His widow then married the confectioner Gottlieb Wohlfahrt. In 1813 they bought the house in St. Michael's Square 14. Despite numerous innovations such as frozen the company's finances could not be rehabilitated. After the death of Gottlieb Wohlfahrt in 1826 the widow and her son from her first marriage August Dehne succeeded but the economic boom. August Dehne managed to great wealth, he invested in land. As the son of August Dehne struck another career as a lawyer, Dehne sold the confectionery in 1857 to his first mate Christoph Demel.
Demel also had success in the continuation of the company and established it to a Viennese institution. After the death of Christoph Demel in 1867 his sons Joseph and Charles took over the business, which is why it since "Christoph Demel 's Söhne" means. On request Demel received 1874 the Hoflieferantentitel (the titel as purveyor to the court). The proximity to the Imperial Palace directly opposite made business more profitable. The Hofburg borrowed from Demel occasionally staff and tableware for special occasions such as proms and parties. Recent developments in the art of confectionery were brought from Paris. Trained at Demel, professionals quickly found employment.
1888 Old Burgtheater was demolished at Michael's place and transformed the place. Demel had to move out of the house and he moved to the Kohlmarkt 14. The new store inside was equipped inside with high costs by purveyor to the court Portois & Fix. The interior is decorated in the style of Neo-Rococo with mahogany wood and mirrors. Regulars were members of the Viennese court as Empress Elisabeth, and other prominent members of the Vienna society of the time, the actress Katharina Schratt and Princess Pauline von Metternich. A peculiarity of Demel from the time of the monarchy is that the always female attendance, which originally was recruited from monastic students, is dressed in a black costume with a white apron. They are called Demelinerinnen and address the guest traditionally in a special "Demel German", which is a polite form of the third person plural, omitting the personal salutation and with questions such as "elected Have you?" or "want to eat?" was known.
After the death of Joseph and Carl Demel took over Carl's widow Maria in 1891 the management. She also received the k.u.k. Hoflieferantentitel. From 1911 to 1917 led Carl Demel (junior) the business and then his sister Anna Demel (4 March 1872 in Vienna - November 8, 1956 ibid ; born Siding). Under her leadership, the boxes and packaging were developed by the Wiener Werkstätte. Josef Hoffmann established in 1932 because of a contract the connection of the artist Friedrich Ludwig Berzeviczy-Pallavicini to Anna Demel. The design of the shop windows at that time was an important means of expression of the shops and there were discussions to whether they should be called visual or storefront (Seh- or Schaufenster - display window or look window). While under the Sehfenster (shop window) an informative presentation of goods was understood, the goods should be enhanced by staging the showcase. From 1933 until his emigration in 1938 took over Berzeviczy-Pallavicini the window dressing of Demel and married in 1936 Klara Demel, the adopted niece of Anna Demel.
During the Nazi regime in Austria the confectioner Demel got privileges from the district leadership because of its reputation. Baldur von Schirach and his wife took the confectioner under their personal protection, there were special allocations of gastronomic specialties from abroad in order to continue to survive. But while the two sat in the guest room and consumed cakes, provided the Demelinerinnen in a hallway between the kitchen and toilet political persecutws, so-called U-Boats. Those here were also hearing illegal radio stations and they discussed the latest news.
1952 Anna Demel was the first woman after the war to be awarded the title Kommerzialrat. She died in 1956. Klara Demel took over the management of the bakery. Berzeviczy-Pallavicini, who lived in the United States until then returned to Vienna. After Clara's death on 19 April 1965, he carried on the pastry. During his time at Demel he established the tradition to make from showpieces of the sugar and chocolate craft extravagant neo-baroque productions. Baron Berzeviczy sold the business in 1972 for economic reasons to the concealed appearing Udo Proksch, who established in 1973 in the first floor rooms for the Club 45; also Defence Minister Karl Lütgendorf had his own salon. After Proksch was arrested in 1989 in connection with the Lucona scandal, he sold Demel to the non-industry German entrepreneur Günter Wichmann. 1993 it came to insolvency. Raiffeisen Bank Vienna as principal creditor, acquired the property in 1994 from the bankrupt company to initially continue itself the traditional Viennese company through a subsidiary. In the process of the renovation in March 1995 on the fourth floor were mura painting from the 18th century exposed and the baroque courtyard covered by a glass construction which since the re-opening on 18 April 1996 can be used as Schanigarten (pavement café) or conservatory.
In 2002 the catering company Do & Co took over the Demel. The company was awarded with the "Golden Coffee Bean " of Jacobs coffee in 1999. Demel now has additional locations in Salzburg and New York.

One of the most famous specialty of the house is " Demel's Sachertorte" . The world-famous Sachertorte was invented by Franz Sacher, but completed only in its today known form by his son Eduard Sacher while training in Demel. After a 1938 out of court enclosed process occurred after the Second World War a till 1965 during dispute between Demel and the Sacher Hotel: The hotel insisted on its naming rights, Demel, however, could pointing out already since the invention of the "Original Sacher" called pie "having used the denomination". Demel had after the death of Anna Sacher in 1930, under defined conditions, the generation and distribution rights for "Eduard-Sacher-Torte" received. The dispute was settled in favor of the Hotel Sacher and the Demelsche cake is today, "Demel 's Sachertorte" and is still made by hand. While a layer of apricot jam under the chocolate icing and another in the center of the cake can be found in the "Original Sacher-Torte", is in "Demel 's Sachertorte " the layer in the middle omitted.
Besides the Sachertorte helped another specialty the pastry to world fame: the original gingerbread figures whose modeling came from the collection of Count Johann Nepomuk Graf Wilczek on Castle Kreuzenstein. Then there are the Demel cake (almond-orange mass with blackcurrant jam, marzipan and chocolate coating), Anna Torte, Dobos cake, cake trays, Russian Punch Cake, Esterházy cake, apple strudel and other confectionary specialties. Popular with many tourists are the candied violets with which Demel earlier supplied the imperial court and they allegedly have been the Lieblingsnaschereien (favorite candies) of Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). Rooms in the upper floors as the Pictures Room, Gold Room and the Silver rooms are rented for events. In addition to the pastry shop Demel operates, as it did at the time of the monarchy, a catering service, after the re-opening in 1996 as well as storage, shipping and packaging was desettled in the 22nd District of Vienna. Demel is also responsible for the catering at Niki Aviation.

Well there you are!!! I think now I have earned the right to call myself an artist. At age 39, year 2006, I enrolled into an Art & Design course at Banff & Buchan College. I didn’t know how to draw, and no one asked if I could, I laugh now, but at time I was so anxious about being caught out and being asked to leave course. Check list for my 1st materials pack was harder than written exam the following year :-) I remember saying "what is pastels, what is a tortillon, putty rubber most of pack what is that? Anyway in that 1st year I did learn and worked hard, to end up winning over all best exhibit award, 2nd year achieved a 'B' Higher and won most improved student award, 3rd and last year achieved 'A' Higher National Certificate, won Best student award and SQA award at graduation ceremony. The icing on the cake was to be recognized in newspaper for my hard work and achievements.
POLICE HEADQUARTERS DORNOCH
(research + recent photos by Dave Conner)
Article re-posted and updated, prompted by Newspaper report today 27.1.2020, reporting that the "new" police Station at Dornoch had been transferred by Police Scotland to the Dornoch Area Community Interest Company (DACIC)
---
In compliance with the Police (Scotland) Act of 1857 every County in Scotland (excluding Orkney & Shetland) was required to set up a police force or unite with a neighbour. In most cases what happened was the existing force was reconstituted, albeit with major clearance of existing staff.
Provided the force was deemed efficient, a Government grant of 25 per cent of the annual cost of upkeep of the force (wages and uniforms) was paid. To establish efficiency or otherwise, a new position - Her Majesty’s Inspector for Scotland (“HMI”) – was created and that poor, hardy soul travelled the length and breadth of Scotland every year, inspecting every force (including burgh/city ones if they had decided to remain separate from their County neighbours).
In the inaugural Report, produced in May 1859, and which covered the period from 16.3.1858 to 15.3.1859, the original Inspector, Colonel John Kinloch, outlined his duty : to 'visit and enquire into the State and Efficiency of the Police appointed for every County and Burgh, and also into the State of the Police Stations, Charge Rooms, Cells, or Lock-ups, and other Premises occupied for the Use of such Police'.
He did however appreciate that “Rome was not built in a day” - and obviously neither were police stations!
In Colonel Kinloch's next Annual Report - covering the period March 1859 to March 1860 – he noted that the Sutherland Force had grown by one to NINE (one man for each district) and that there were also proposals to build a police station in the County Town of Dornoch. Presumably the Force Headquarters at that time was merely a spare room (or two) within the Sheriff Courthouse, or in the old Court building/Jail.
The officer for Dornoch would be the Sergeant (Deputy Chief Constable) by then, although the Chief Constable would have been also the local bobby for Dornoch and environs up until then. It would be some time before a Constable was also based in Dornoch. But despite that, there was still a need for a proper police office for the officer(s) to work out of and where the public could attend to make complaints, and also to hold prisoners pending Court appearance (Dornoch having the only Courthouse within the County).
Whichever building was used up until then would have been unsatisfactory, being without suitable accommodation in which to lodge prisoners - brought in from all parts of the county for Court appearance before the Sheriff.
The Commissioners met again on 30 April 1861, when a further increase in the Rogue Money assessment was set, this year being £200. The sum of £350 was to be required as the Police assessment for the year to 15/3/1862, to cover the cost of salaries, uniforms and other matters.
"The meeting do further assess a sum of £400 towards the expense of erecting a Police Station in Dornoch ... in terms of a pledge given (to) Colonel Kinloch, Her Majesty's Inspector of the constabulary force in Scotland, as the condition under which he reported the police force of this County efficient, entitling them to draw the Government allowance of 25 per cent, but this sum was not to be collected before the first day of October next."
The plans of the Station, and all matters relating to it, along with the contracts involved, were delegated to the Police Committee with full powers to take the matter forward to completion.
Mr Kinloch in April 1862 reported that plans (for the new Station at Dornoch) were well advanced. His plan had worked for once. Not all Counties and Burgh Police authorities were prepared to work with him - many stubbornly resisted his proposals!
Then, at the Annual Meeting of the Commissioners held on 30/4/1862, when it came to calculating the Police Assessment: "The Commissioners do therefore assess ... in the sum of £380, with a further sum of £300 to complete the Police Station now in the course of erection in the Burgh of Dornoch."
On 30th April 1863, the Police Assessment came to:
"£850 including a balance due to the Bank disbursed on account of erecting the new Police Station."
Value for money was important, and value the people of Sutherland got! That building – in Dornoch Square - would be used as a Police Station for nearly 120 years!
As well as being the local Police Station for the Burgh of Dornoch (the burgh was one of few in Scotland never to have its own police force), it served as the Headquarters for the Sutherland Constabulary until that force merged with the Ross & Cromarty Constabulary in May 1963 – to form Ross & Sutherland Constabulary.
Thereafter it was the Sub Divisional Office for Sutherland throughout the existence of Ross & Sutherland Constabulary - which merged with the other forces of the Scottish Highlands & Islands on 16th May 1975 to form Northern Constabulary.
The original building was clearly by then no longer fit for purpose and plans were already afoot to build a new Station in Dornoch, and this finally opened in the early 1980s. The official opening was on Friday 27th August 1982. The old building was thereafter sold off and in now in use as private housing.
Set on a rise just beyond the Square, the new building occupied an imposing position overlooking a petrol filling station, affording a good clear view of the Square and right up the main thoroughfare of Dornoch. At least it did, until the filling station went the same way as most urban ones, and closed and became a prime location for the building of flatted dwellings. Thereafter the station no longer had a view, thanks to the new three story structure which now stood in front of it.
The new police station became the new Sub Divisional Station for Sutherland (Part of Central Division, which comprised almost the whole of the former Ross and Sutherland force area), originally with a Chief Inspector and Inspector in charge. The higher rank was however soon redeployed elsewhere, an early precursor of a rationalisation of ranks.
In due course, in the early 1990s the Divisional structure was dissolved within Northern Constabulary, and 8 Area Commands were set up instead. Sutherland became a Sub Area of Caithness and Sutherland, with the Inspector at Dornoch being in charge of Sutherland Sub Area.
More recent changes saw boundary changes result in formation on an enlarged Area Command, retitled Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross.
Dornoch was never a 24-hour Station and in 2011, Northern Constabulary announced a number of Station closures. Dornoch, as a larger station, would remain open but the public counter would only be open 0900-1700 Monday-Friday.
These days, it seems few members of the public actually call in person at a police station – most contact is nowadays done by telephone. Such is progress?
In preparation for the merger of all 8 Scottish Police Forces to form the “Police Service of Scotland” on 1st April 2013, signage was de-badged to remove all mention of the former force of origin. Hence removal of the sizeable Northern Constabulary logo from the Police Station sign board resulted in an over-abundance of white space.
Soon after Police Scotland came into being, the Dornoch Police Station was closed for operational use, and it latterly was put up for sale. In 2019 Dornoch Area Community Interest Company (DACIC) made application to acquire the premises as a communty hub and on 27.1.2020, it was reporting that the "new" police Station at Dornoch had been transferred by Police Scotland to DACIC.
"The renovated building will house a business hub with offices; a creative hub with studios and workshops and a health and well-being hub with a much-requested gym. There will be a community room available for a range of activities including a youth club, a coding club, healthy eating sessions and dementia inclusive craft workshops." (Northern Times)
Although the “new” station is not unpleasing to the eye, to my mind the original station is far more impressive – even if was designed more on dwelling-house lines than as a “Police Complex”. It is one of a line of grand structures (all facing the Cathedral) ranked along the main street of Dornoch, including the old Jail (now a large shop), the Sheriff Courthouse (recently closed in favour of Tain) and the Bishop’s Castle (now a Hotel) - what once comprised a whole line of symbols of Dornoch’s status as an ancient Royal Burgh, Cathedral City and County town.
So, sadly, Dornoch now no longer has its own Police Station , the nearest now being at Tain and Golspie, from which the Dornoch area is covered. It is hard to believe that only 30 years ago almost every town and village in the Highlands & Islands had its own police station, complete with resident police officer(s). Things have certainly changed since then.

I bought my machine from this vendor:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OZJ8P2C
Even though this machine doesn’t qualify for Prime 2-day shipping, I ordered it on Sunday, 7/15/18 and received it on Friday, 7/20/18. Not bad even though it appears the vendor made a mistake slapping two UPS shipping labels on it. As a result, the machine first went to Simi Valley, CA before reaching me in Northern CA. It was never delivered to the other customer in Simi Valley, but I can see the box had been opened and retaped. In spite of all that, the machine works great and looks brand new. So I don't mind even if it's "open-box".
This machine is well built and the vendor provides excellent post-sale services. I mistakenly thought the remote control was missing, contacted the vendor and he immediately shipped me a new one with no questions asked. I later found out that a remote control was in fact inside the box, it's just kind of hidden and I didn't see it.
I get on it twice a day for 10 minutes each and I feel great. Our internist recommended us to get a whole body vibration machine. He has a Hypervibe G-17 and I tried a Zaaz 20K at Costco. After standing on the Zaaz for 12 minutes, all my aches and pain were gone. Both of those machines are much, much more expensive and much heavier.
Some people complained about the user manual. To me, it’s totally satisfactory. The instruction is easy to understand and fully explains how to operate the machine. However, it doesn’t provide any technical specs such as G-force or vibrations frequency range. For the price though, I don’t expect that kind of details even though it would be nice to have. The vendor web site on Amazon does say the amplitude is between 1 and 15 mm.
There are vendors that sell similar looking machines for less. But they are smaller in size. This machine is 30.3" wide. Theirs are 26.8". Since we get better results by positioning our legs farther apart, I don’t mind paying a little more. The smaller and cheaper machines has 99 speeds vs this one with 20 speeds. However, I like 20 speeds more than 99 as it is much easier to press 12 times to get to Speed 12 than 60 times to get Speed 60. I generally use the preset Program 3, which goes from Speed 4 to 12 to 18, then coming back down to 12. The machine defaults to 10 minutes and won’t go beyond 10 minutes, which is fine with me. I don’t have any problem standing on it and watching TV at the same time.
Don’t know if it makes any difference. The description on the box for this machine says it’s a “vibration plate” while the smaller and cheaper one says it’s a “massager”. I helped a friend buy the less expensive machine. That’s why I can compare them.
I wouldn’t trust the pictures from the vendor on weight loss. I do think the machine will help on muscles toning , blood circulation, balancing, reducing back pain and perhaps bone loss. I also believe the Zaaz is better than this machine but not 15 times better.
Oscillating Vibration Machines have a fulcrum point at the center of the plate. The base plate rocks on this central fulcrum point, producing a similar effect to a see-saw, with one side of the plate rising slightly as the other side dips. The difference between the high and low points is known as the amplitude or displacement value, and on most machines the measurement is somewhere between 1 and 10 millimeters.
The see-saw motion is designed to imitate the movements your body makes every day when walking, with your body weight alternating from one side to the other. This constant shift in position causes your body to react and compensate, with muscles quickly contracting and then relaxing to stabilize your body's position.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- About 20 volunteers from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center converged in the Santa Cruz area to join other community volunteers and a slew of professional surfers April 21-26 to help wounded service members and veterans overcome the perceived limitations of their physical and psychological disabilities through adaptive surfing during the 6th Annual Operation Surf Santa Cruz. Thirty-two wounded military members from across the United States and U.K. participated, most recovering from combat-related injuries suffered while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan that included amputees and those with traumatic brain injuries.

News article obtained from the Northwest Herald:
WOODSTOCK – They walked past Engine 32 and into the church where Michael Wurtz, in his final months, reconnected to his faith.
More than 360 uniformed firefighters from departments as far away as the Champaign area filtered into Woodstock Assembly of God, saluting the open casket of Wurtz one-by-one during a fire department walk-through. The departments came together with Wurtz' friends and family to lay to rest the 47-year-old firefighter, who died Friday of cancer.
Those who spoke before and during the ceremony remembered a fearless firefighter who lived to serve – for his family, his friends and his community. They talked of his adventurous spirit, his exhaustive work ethic, the way everyone who met him seemed to feel a special connection. They remembered that smirk, which somehow toed the line between business-like and light-hearted.
They tried to put into words what Wurtz meant to the world.
"We seem larger than life," Woodstock Fire Chief Ralph Webster said during the ceremony. "But quite honestly, that's not what makes us so special. That's not what made Mike special. It's the little things he did to serve others."
Giving the service's eulogy, Pastor Roger Willis harkened back to conversations he'd had with Wurtz over the last four and a half months, since the two met. He explained several words that Wurtz's memory called to mind: adventure, selfless, honor.
He said his next sermon would be called "Lessons from 1325 Dean Street," the address of the nearby Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Station 2. Being around Wurtz firsthand showed him the honor the department felt Wurtz was due.
"If we treat one another how you all treat one another, it's going to go a long, long way," Willis said.
Willis added a fourth word: rest. He talked about the peaceful nature of a visit he'd had with Wurtz in January. The two discussed faith, and Wurtz opened up about a spiritual road made rocky by his dad's death at a young age.
"I was hoping this visit would go in this direction," Willis remembered Wurtz saying.
Firefighters lifted the American flag from its resting spot on Wurtz's casket, folded it and presented it to Wurtz's wife. They gave his helmet and badge to the family. Each of his children was presented an honorary badge from the local firefighters union.
"We're having his service, but we're serving her today," Webster said of Wurtz's wife. "Her and her family."
To the blare of bagpipes and drums, service men carried the casket out the church, past rows of firefighters frozen in salute. The body was raised onto Engine 32, where it would soon fall into a procession that traveled past each of the three Woodstock fire stations.
First, the rows of firefighters were ordered out of their salute. Several finally wiped the tears from their eyes.

Demel is one of the most famous Viennese pastry at the carbon (cabbage) market (Kohlmarkt) 14 in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. Demel was a k.u.k. Hofzuckerbäcker and runs this item today in public.
History
1778 came the of Wurttemberg stemming confectioner Ludwig Dehne to Vienna. 1786, he founded his pastry shop at the place of St. Michael. Dehne died in 1799 of tuberculosis. His widow then married the confectioner Gottlieb Wohlfahrt. In 1813 they bought the house in St. Michael's Square 14. Despite numerous innovations such as frozen the company's finances could not be rehabilitated. After the death of Gottlieb Wohlfahrt in 1826 the widow and her son from her first marriage August Dehne succeeded but the economic boom. August Dehne managed to great wealth, he invested in land. As the son of August Dehne struck another career as a lawyer, Dehne sold the confectionery in 1857 to his first mate Christoph Demel.
Demel also had success in the continuation of the company and established it to a Viennese institution. After the death of Christoph Demel in 1867 his sons Joseph and Charles took over the business, which is why it since "Christoph Demel 's Söhne" means. On request Demel received 1874 the Hoflieferantentitel (the titel as purveyor to the court). The proximity to the Imperial Palace directly opposite made business more profitable. The Hofburg borrowed from Demel occasionally staff and tableware for special occasions such as proms and parties. Recent developments in the art of confectionery were brought from Paris. Trained at Demel, professionals quickly found employment.
1888 Old Burgtheater was demolished at Michael's place and transformed the place. Demel had to move out of the house and he moved to the Kohlmarkt 14. The new store inside was equipped inside with high costs by purveyor to the court Portois & Fix. The interior is decorated in the style of Neo-Rococo with mahogany wood and mirrors. Regulars were members of the Viennese court as Empress Elisabeth, and other prominent members of the Vienna society of the time, the actress Katharina Schratt and Princess Pauline von Metternich. A peculiarity of Demel from the time of the monarchy is that the always female attendance, which originally was recruited from monastic students, is dressed in a black costume with a white apron. They are called Demelinerinnen and address the guest traditionally in a special "Demel German", which is a polite form of the third person plural, omitting the personal salutation and with questions such as "elected Have you?" or "want to eat?" was known.
After the death of Joseph and Carl Demel took over Carl's widow Maria in 1891 the management. She also received the k.u.k. Hoflieferantentitel. From 1911 to 1917 led Carl Demel (junior) the business and then his sister Anna Demel (4 March 1872 in Vienna - November 8, 1956 ibid ; born Siding). Under her leadership, the boxes and packaging were developed by the Wiener Werkstätte. Josef Hoffmann established in 1932 because of a contract the connection of the artist Friedrich Ludwig Berzeviczy-Pallavicini to Anna Demel. The design of the shop windows at that time was an important means of expression of the shops and there were discussions to whether they should be called visual or storefront (Seh- or Schaufenster - display window or look window). While under the Sehfenster (shop window) an informative presentation of goods was understood, the goods should be enhanced by staging the showcase. From 1933 until his emigration in 1938 took over Berzeviczy-Pallavicini the window dressing of Demel and married in 1936 Klara Demel, the adopted niece of Anna Demel.
During the Nazi regime in Austria the confectioner Demel got privileges from the district leadership because of its reputation. Baldur von Schirach and his wife took the confectioner under their personal protection, there were special allocations of gastronomic specialties from abroad in order to continue to survive. But while the two sat in the guest room and consumed cakes, provided the Demelinerinnen in a hallway between the kitchen and toilet political persecutws, so-called U-Boats. Those here were also hearing illegal radio stations and they discussed the latest news.
1952 Anna Demel was the first woman after the war to be awarded the title Kommerzialrat. She died in 1956. Klara Demel took over the management of the bakery. Berzeviczy-Pallavicini, who lived in the United States until then returned to Vienna. After Clara's death on 19 April 1965, he carried on the pastry. During his time at Demel he established the tradition to make from showpieces of the sugar and chocolate craft extravagant neo-baroque productions. Baron Berzeviczy sold the business in 1972 for economic reasons to the concealed appearing Udo Proksch, who established in 1973 in the first floor rooms for the Club 45; also Defence Minister Karl Lütgendorf had his own salon. After Proksch was arrested in 1989 in connection with the Lucona scandal, he sold Demel to the non-industry German entrepreneur Günter Wichmann. 1993 it came to insolvency. Raiffeisen Bank Vienna as principal creditor, acquired the property in 1994 from the bankrupt company to initially continue itself the traditional Viennese company through a subsidiary. In the process of the renovation in March 1995 on the fourth floor were mura painting from the 18th century exposed and the baroque courtyard covered by a glass construction which since the re-opening on 18 April 1996 can be used as Schanigarten (pavement café) or conservatory.
In 2002 the catering company Do & Co took over the Demel. The company was awarded with the "Golden Coffee Bean " of Jacobs coffee in 1999. Demel now has additional locations in Salzburg and New York.

One of the most famous specialty of the house is " Demel's Sachertorte" . The world-famous Sachertorte was invented by Franz Sacher, but completed only in its today known form by his son Eduard Sacher while training in Demel. After a 1938 out of court enclosed process occurred after the Second World War a till 1965 during dispute between Demel and the Sacher Hotel: The hotel insisted on its naming rights, Demel, however, could pointing out already since the invention of the "Original Sacher" called pie "having used the denomination". Demel had after the death of Anna Sacher in 1930, under defined conditions, the generation and distribution rights for "Eduard-Sacher-Torte" received. The dispute was settled in favor of the Hotel Sacher and the Demelsche cake is today, "Demel 's Sachertorte" and is still made by hand. While a layer of apricot jam under the chocolate icing and another in the center of the cake can be found in the "Original Sacher-Torte", is in "Demel 's Sachertorte " the layer in the middle omitted.
Besides the Sachertorte helped another specialty the pastry to world fame: the original gingerbread figures whose modeling came from the collection of Count Johann Nepomuk Graf Wilczek on Castle Kreuzenstein. Then there are the Demel cake (almond-orange mass with blackcurrant jam, marzipan and chocolate coating), Anna Torte, Dobos cake, cake trays, Russian Punch Cake, Esterházy cake, apple strudel and other confectionary specialties. Popular with many tourists are the candied violets with which Demel earlier supplied the imperial court and they allegedly have been the Lieblingsnaschereien (favorite candies) of Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). Rooms in the upper floors as the Pictures Room, Gold Room and the Silver rooms are rented for events. In addition to the pastry shop Demel operates, as it did at the time of the monarchy, a catering service, after the re-opening in 1996 as well as storage, shipping and packaging was desettled in the 22nd District of Vienna. Demel is also responsible for the catering at Niki Aviation.

..and no, I wasn't interviewed by Hugh Grant!
(And I actually said 'aesthetics versus accuracy' and didn't say 'as an artist' at all (as that wouldn't make any sense) but I guess you have to let these things go. I'm sure people got the gist of it!)
Hooray! My crochet and polymer clay ring 'lichen spores' is in a current Storque article.
The theme is sculpture as fashion. Top lefthand corner!
On Friday, September 5th, Vale Craft Gallery will host an opening reception from 5:00 until 8:00 PM for the exhibition Strata: Sculptural Fiber by Michelle Sales. The artist will be present for the opening. The show will continue through November 15th.
The exhibition will feature Chicago artist Michelle Sales’ innovative wall pieces and sculptural objects made from hand-dyed and stitched synthetic fabric. The artist recycles spun-bonded materials used in the construction and garment industries, sometimes combining the fabric with small found objects, such as stones or beads.
The show will include textured wall pieces from the artist’s “Imprint” series that are built up horizontally with layers of hand-dyed materials, denoting erosion and the passage of time. Also on view will be sculptures referencing articles of clothing and footwear that are made from natural and synthetic materials combined with found objects, suggesting the accumulation and preservation of memories.
Michelle Sales received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has had work shown in numerous exhibitions including SOFA Chicago. The exhibition at Vale Craft Gallery is part of Chicago Artists Month, the thirteenth annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant visual art community organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.
Vale Craft Gallery is located at 230 West Superior Street (building entrance on Franklin) in Chicago’s River North gallery district.
