Eschscholzia californica
|California Poppy
Apparently Secure (NatureServe)
|Scientific classification
|E. californica
|Binomial name
|Eschscholzia californica
Eschscholzia californica (California poppy, Californian poppy,[1] golden poppy, California sunlight, cup of gold) is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to the United States and Mexico, and the official state flower of California.
It is a perennial or annual growing to 5–60 in (13–152 cm) tall, with alternately branching glaucous blue-green foliage. The leaves are alternately divided into round, lobed segments. The flowers are solitary on long stems, silky-textured, with four petals, each petal 2 to 6 cm (0.79 to 2.36 in) long and broad; flower color ranges from yellow to orange, with flowering from February to September in the northern hemisphere (spring, summer, autumn). The petals close at night or in cold, windy weather and open again the following morning, although they may remain closed in cloudy weather.[2] The fruit is a slender, dehiscent capsule 3 to 9 cm (1.2 to 3.5 in) long, which splits in two to release the numerous small black or dark brown seeds. It survives mild winters in its native range, dying completely in colder climates.
The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is located in northern Los Angeles County, California. At the peak of the blooming season, orange petals seem to cover all 1,745 acres (706 ha) of the reserve. Other prominent locations of California poppy py meadows are in Bear Valley (California, Colusa County), Point Buchon and numerous other locations.
Its native habitat includes California, extending to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora and northwest Baja California.[2]
The species is highly variable, with over 90 synonyms. Some botanists accept two subspecies — one with four varieties (e.g., Leger and Rice, 2003) — though others do not recognize them as distinct (e.g., Jepson 1993):
- E. californica subsp. californica, native to California, Baja California, and Oregon, widely planted as an ornamental, and an invasive elsewhere (see below).
- E. californica subsp. californica var. californica, which is found along the coast from the San Francisco Peninsula north. They are perennial and somewhat prostrate, with yellow flowers.
- E. californica subsp. californica var. maritima (E. L. Greene) Jeps., which is found along the coast from Monterey south to San Miguel Island. They are perennial, long-lived, glaucous, short in stature, and have extremely prostrate growth and yellow flowers.
- E. californica subsp. californica var. crocea (Benth.) Jeps., which grows in non-arid inland regions. They are perennial, taller, and have orange flowers.
- E. California subsp. californica var. peninsularis (E. L. Greene) Munz, which is an annual or facultative annual growing in arid inland environments.
- E. californica subsp. mexicana (E. L. Greene) C. Clark, the Mexican Gold Poppy, which is found in the Sonoran Desert. Some authorities refer to it as E. Mexicana. [3]
Eschscholzia californica was the first named member of the genus Eschscholzia, named by the German botanist Adelbert von Chamisso after the Baltic German botanist Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, his friend and colleague on Otto von Kotzebue's scientific expedition to California and the greater Pacific in mid-1810s aboard the Russian ship Rurik.
E. californica is drought-tolerant, self-seeding, and easy to grow in gardens. It is best grown as an annual, in full sun and sandy, well-drained, poor soil. Horticulturalists have produced numerous cultivars with a range of colors and blossom and stem forms. These typically do not breed true on reseeding. Seeds are often sold as mixtures. The following cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit:-
- E. californica[4]
- 'Appleblossom Bush'[5] (pink)
- 'Dali'[6] (red)
- 'Lemon Bush'[7] (pale yellow)
- 'Rose Chiffon'[8] (pink and white)
- Thai Silk Series[9] (mixed colours)
Other uses
California poppy leaves were used medicinally by Native Americans, and the pollen was used cosmetically. The seeds are used in cooking.[2]
An aqueous extract of the plant has sedative and anxiolytic action.[10] The extract acts as a mild sedative when smoked. The effect is far milder than that of opium. California poppy contains a different class of alkaloids:[11][12]
"An aqueous alcohol extract of Eschscholzia californica has been evaluated for benzodiazepine, neuroleptic, antidepressant, antihistaminic and analgesic properties. The plant extract did not protect mice against the convulsant effects of pentylenetetrazol, and did not cause muscle relaxant effects, but appeared to possess an affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor. The extract induced peripheral analgesic effects in mice but did not possess antidepressant, neuroleptic or antihistaminic effects."[13]
Invasive species
Because of its beauty and ease of growing, the California poppy was introduced into several regions with similar Mediterranean climates. It is commercially sold and widely naturalized in Australia, and was introduced to South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. It is recognized as a potentially invasive species within the United States, although no indications of ill effects have been reported for this plant where it has been introduced outside of California. The golden poppy has been displaced in large areas of its original habitat, such as Southern California, by more invasive exotic species, such as mustard or annual grasses.
Chilean population
In Chile, it was introduced from multiple sources between the mid-19th century and the early 20th century. It appears to have been both intentionally imported as an ornamental garden plant, and accidentally introduced along with alfalfa seed grown in California. Since Chile and California have similar climatic regions and have experienced much agricultural exchange, it is perhaps not surprising that it was introduced to Chile. Once there, its perennial forms spread primarily in human-disturbed environments (Leger and Rice, 2003).
Interestingly, the introduced Chilean populations of California poppy appear to be larger and more fecund in their introduced range than in their native range (Leger and Rice, 2003). Introduced populations have been noted to be larger and more reproductively successful than native ones (Elton, 1958), and there has been much speculation as to why. Increase in resource availability, decreased competition, and release from enemy pressure have all been proposed as explanations.
One hypothesis is that the resources devoted in the native range to a defense strategy, can in the absence of enemies be devoted to increased growth and reproduction (the EICA Hypothesis, Blossey & Nötzold, 1995). However, this is not the case with introduced populations of E. californica in Chile: the Chilean populations were actually more resistant to Californian caterpillars than the native populations (Leger and Forister, 2005).
State flower
As the official state flower of California Eschscholzia californica is pictured on welcome signs along highways entering California[14] and official Scenic Route signs.
It was selected as the state flower by the California State Floral Society in December 1890, winning out over the Mariposa lily (genus Calochortus) and the Matilija poppy (Romneya coulteri) by a wide margin, but the state legislature did not make the selection official until 1903. Its golden blooms were deemed a fitting symbol for the Golden State. April 6 is designated California Poppy Day.

Branca Table
Mattiazzi, Italy
2010 -
The furniture range designed for Mattiazzi includes, apart from the Branca chair, a corresponding table, complementing the overall statement intended by Industrial Facility. In both pieces the design process was strongly influenced by the merging of elaborate craftsmanship with robotics. The Branca table employs a similar language as its accompanying chair, it evolves from the intention to provide a soft and inviting surface, supported by four natural ash legs. To overcome the solidity of the legs a chamfer is cut, starting 2/3 of the way down. Available in 2 sizes, the Branca chairs can slip comfortably underneath the table or rest on top of it if necessary, for floor cleaning. In 2012 a solid ash top was also introduced to the collection.

Branca Stool
Mattiazzi, Italy
2014 —
In 2009 Mattiazzi – a leading Italian producer of wooden furniture – released the influential Branca Chair – the all-wood, stacking armchair produced with the best of robotic manufacturing with hand-finishing. It went on to win the Design of the Year for Furniture in 2011 and is now included in the Permanent Collections of the Design Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Finlandia Design Museum, Helsinki; and the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco.
To allow free movement at stool height, the seat is soft and open from 270 degrees. The backrest is small and reassuring, providing a backstop and a place to hang a jacket. The metal curved footrest replicates the outline of the seat.
The Branca Stool was first previewed by Mattiazzi at the Salone del Mobile 2014 and is now available after passing stringent quality controls and BIFMA standards. Stools are available in natural and coloured Ash (Anilin Black, Anilin White, Anilin Branca Green and Natural Ash) with a powder-coated footrest and a seat height of 760mm.
The Branca Stool continues the trajectory of tree branches seamlessly bending and meeting; it is also inviting and comfortable, yet skeletal in its formation.

Radice Stool
Mattiazzi, Italy
2013 —
Radice is a three-legged wooden stool, the result of Industrial Facility's second collaboration with Italian furniture producer Mattiazzi.
Unlike many other Italian producers, Mattiazzi keeps all the facets of wood production under one roof. By default, they have become a rare company that is able to shape wood as if it were plastic, while embracing ever-increasing challenges through their own R&D. Industrial Facility have continued to push Mattiazzi further into the exploration of robot-craftsmanship – following on from their first collaboration with the Branca Chair.
Radice finds its underlying beauty and simplicity in its structure. It is the bringing together of the front-half of a traditional 4-legged stool with a single back leg – the root. It is a visual improvisation, where two things come together unexpectedly.
"Radice has some tension in its form and it is a slight surprise that the third leg works as well as it does to resolve the overall structure. It is in some ways structurally diagrammatic, yet is made comfortable visually and physically because of how this third leg supports the seat," says Sam Hecht.
The backrest is small and reassuring, allowing a coat or handbag to rest on it; and the seat is open for large and small people. It is light both visually and in weight and uses no screws or metal fittings, yet also passes stringent BIFMA standards ensuring it is structurally sound, stable and reliable. The wood stain options for Radice are based on the cycle of an autumn leaf turning colour.
Radice is available in 650mm (stool height) and 450mm (chair height).

Branca Chair
Mattiazzi SpA, Italy
2010 —
In 1978 the Italian brothers Nevio and Fabbiano Mattiazzi began their obsession with wooden furniture production. For thirty years they produced furniture rather anonymously for some of the great Italian brands and only recently started to collaborate with world designers to expose their expertise to a wider audience. Over the years they have kept their expertise and quality sharp by continually investing in the latest machinery, and by maintaining a craftsman's attitude overall.
Unlike many other Italian producers, the Mattiazzi brothers knew to keep all the facets of wood production under one roof.
By default, they have now become a rare company that is able to shape wood as if it were plastic while embracing ever-increasing challenges as their own form of R&D.
After several trips to Mattiazzi's factory, along with close discussions with their craftsmen, Industrial Facility continues to push Mattiazzi further into their exploration of robot-craftsmanship.
Branca is the result of a combination of highly complex parts (made possible with robotic machinery, most notably the eight-axis CNC milling machine which Mattiazzi is expert with), alongside simple traditional shaping and finishing by hand.
"The power of the robot, the repetition of the machine and the skills of the craftsmen already have synchronised relationships at Mattiazzi where each process is as carefully selected as the wood blocks that are to be shaped", says Hecht.
It was in conversations with his partner Kim Colin, the focus was turned to nature, where complexity thrives with reason. Beauty is simply a result of constant growth. In particular, the branches of a tree were to provide the critical analogy for the project.
Like wooden branches on a tree, Branca is a chair that is familiar to the eye. We accept that branches support the joints of twigs and leaves at different points that may seem random but are all intentional.
With Branca, its back leg supports the critical joints of the armrest, the seat and the back, and is made from a single piece of wood produced robotically. The joints are seen as but a part of the seamless nature of the chair and its simple outline belies the complexity of production.
With no question, Branca had to hold all of the functional attributes we expect a chair to have in a modern condition - to be comfortable; to have armrests; to fit under a table; to be light enough to carry; and to stack for easy shipping. Branca is inspired by wooden branches that turn, twist, meet and branch off.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
TaxonomyMistletoe is an evergreen and somewhat woody plant, sometimes referred to as a shrublet.It grows up to 1m high, with numerous, regularly forked branches.The stem grows without branching for the first 3 or 4 years. The shoot then branches once per year, so the approximate age of a mistletoe can be calculated by counting the number of forks in the stem and adding 3.The leaves are borne in pairs, each leaf 5–7cm long, widest above the middle, narrowly oval and slightly curved in outline. They are matt yellowish-green in colour and have a distinctive leathery texture.The flowers are fly pollinated and are very small and inconspicuous,appearing from February to April in clusters of 3 to 5. Male and female flowers are borne on different plants. Both sexes have 4 small, yellowish green petals - the sepals of female flowers are extremely small and are completely absent in male flowers.The waxy berries are 1cm in diameter, white and sticky and are only produced by female plants. They ripen in November and December. Birds eat the berries and disperse the seeds, but the berries are poisonous to humans.As a species, Viscum album is often subdivided into 4 groups variously ranked as either subspecies, varieties or genetic races. These have different host trees, 2 of them on species of spruce, 1 on species of pine and the most widespread on deciduous tree species.
The parasitic habit has evolved separately in several plant families:
- Mistletoes which are hemi-parasites - plants which take some of their nutrients from the host but are capable of manufacturing at least some of their own food. All mistletoes are shrubs or shrublets, parasitic on trees.
- Members of the closely-related family Loranthaceae are also hemi-parasites - they may be shrublets, shrubs, lianes or trees, and grow on a wide variety of hosts. Nuytsia floribunda, (the Christmas tree of Australia) is a tree growing up to 12m high and is parasitic on the roots of many plants, including grasses.

A Street Performance GT Slotted Brake Kit by Wilwood is engineered for your specific vehicle and will give you premium brake control you need on the street, track, or during your everyday driving. The kit features GT Slotted rotors, multi-piston calipers, and premium brake pads altogether providing exceptional braking performance and a long service life. Slotted rotors feature an asymmetrical slot pattern for smoother pad engagement. Developed to withstand extreme temperatures, GT rotors possess the highest possible degree of resistance against distortion, warping, cracking, and wear. Regardless of the driving environment, the Street Performance GT Slotted Brake Kit makes stopping as exciting as accelerating.
Fixed calipers by Wilwood offer unmatched stopping power. The pistons in fixed calipers are located on both sides of the disc, allowing for evenly distributed clamping force. They apply more squeezing power and apply it more evenly during braking as force is directly applied to both sides. Multi-piston calipers allow for more even braking and, as a result, less pad distortion. The more number of pistons a caliper has, the more clamping force it provides. Thanks to the evenly distributed pressure, these calipers ensure an even wear pattern along the entire length of the brake pad. Usually these calipers have smaller diameter pistons than single-piston calipers.
The internal vane design of these vented rotors by Wilwood provides excellent heat dissipation during brake cycles. As the wheel spins, the vanes around the edge of the rotor draw air in and pull it through to help cool the rotor. With the extra heat dissipated there will be less brake fade. Slotted rotors by Wilwood are a great alternative to drilled rotors. They serve the same purpose of breaking down hot brake gas but provide better resistance to cracking. The slotted pattern allows for increased pad bite and improved air circulation. The slots help to sweep away water and dust. If you drive hard, race or use your vehicle off-road or for towing purposes, slotted rotors are a perfect choice for you.

Product Description
1.Machine Introduction of Microwave drying sterilizer machine:
Microwave is the electromagnetic wave from 300 MHz to 300 thousand MHz (wavelength 1 m - 1 mm), usually used in radar and communication technology as information transmission.
In modern application, it has been extended to a new energy source. It is used for heating and drying in industry and agriculture, chemical reaction is promoted in chemical industry, and plasma is stimulated in scientific research.
A home microwave oven is a typical example of the application of microwave energy.
The microwave frequencies used for industrial heating in China are 915 MHz and 2450 MHz at present. In use, it can be selected according to the shape, size and water content of the heating material. 2450MHz is the frequency of a second vibration of 2 billion 450 million times a second, one second direct water feed 2 billion 450 million times back and forth vibration friction, water naturally immediately fever.
2. The characteristics of Fungus dry fungicidal insecticide Microwave machine factory are as follows
1, the temperature of sterilization is low. The general germicidal temperature is 70 - 80 C.
2. The time of sterilization is short. Fungus dry fungicidal insecticide Microwave machine factory can quickly germicidal food, about 5 - 10 minutes to achieve bactericidal effect.
3, sterilizing thoroughly. The microwave can penetrate a certain thickness of food, so microwave can sterilize the food both inside and outside when it is germicidal to the food.

4.Advantages Fungus dry fungicidal insecticide Microwave machine factory
Conventional heating (such as flame, hot air, electric heating, steam, etc.) all use heat conduction, convection and thermal radiation to transfer heat to the surface of the heated object first, and then gradually increase the center temperature by heat conduction (commonly known as external heating). Fungus dry fungicidal insecticide Microwave machine factory requires a certain heat conduction time to achieve the desired temperature in the center, while the time required for the object with poor thermal conductivity is longer. Microwave heating is internal heating, electromagnetic energy directly to the medium molecule is transformed into heat, and the transmission properties of the material and medium heated simultaneously, without heat conduction, and the lack of internal cooling conditions, the temperature gradient distribution caused by the internal temperature is higher than the external form, internal drive water to steam surface infiltration pressure, acceleration the migration rate of evaporation of water. Especially for the food with water content under 30%, the speed can be shortened hundreds times, and it is even dry in a short time.

A 19-year-old man from Pontiac is facing criminal sexual conduct and child porn charges in Ionia County after a joint investigation by the Ionia County Sheriff's Office and Montcalm County Sheriff's Office of a complaint involving child sexually abusive materials discovered in Montcalm County.
William Kilburn was arraigned Monday in Ionia County 64A District Court Kilburn on charges of Conspiracy to Commit CSC, 1st Degree; Distribution of Child Sexually Abusive Materials; Solicitation or Promotion of Child Sexually Abusive Materials; and Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, said Det. Phillip Hesche of the ICSO.
Kilburn was arrested Nov. 21 in Oakland County. He is accused of allegedly soliciting a 16-year-old Ionia County girl to obtain the materials for him, and conspiring to have sexual intercourse with an 8-year-old relative of the girl, Hesche said.
Kilburn remains at the Ionia County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Be assured that the Art Department remains a space where all can pursue the dialogue that counters the lies of racism, anti-semitism, homophobia, and nativism.
We are prepared to stand up for and support those who have been singled out as targets for hatred. The courage of free thought opposing cowardice and bigotry endures and persists here despite violence.

3 Things.
Thursday, December 15, 2011
Three links for this rainy Thursday:
1) Click here to see how this interactive poster by Roland Tiangco works. So smart.
2) I loved this round-up of "unique celebratory desserts" from around the globe, at My Modern Met. I tried pavlova on my trip to New Zealand a few years ago. (The photo below comes from this recipe post by Sarah J. Gim on Tastespotting.)
3. My brother, Max, has just posted some of his photos from our recent trip to Tokyo on his blog - and not surprisingly, they're stunning. I especially love the collage he put together, pictured below. See his full post, here.

If you were hoping for the rumored high-end Nexus 10 tablet this holiday season, get ready to be disappointed. Brooke Crothers of CNET, the same guy that said Samsung would produce the Nexus 10, is now reporting the tablet is "expected in the first half of next year."
We don't know what the hold up is, but it could be the next generation display or processor. The Nexus 10 is rumored to include a 2,560 x 1,600 display and Samsung's Exynos 5 (ARM Cortex-A15) processor. Both of these components have been shown off since early this year, but Samsung could have run into issues producing either part in volume.
Thankfully we should still have a full lineup of new entry-level and mid-range Nexus tablets, but it looks like we will have to wait for next year to experience a high-end, 10-inch model that can compete with the new iPad.

We ask customers/consumers to please refer to the ingredient statement for accurately determining allergens in our products. We do not issue letters/lists regarding this subject because letters are only as good as the day they are written. As we all know, production lines change continuously, as well as manufacturing facilities, and we cannot rely on a letter to be continually accurate. We can, however, rely on ingredient statements. The FDA requires that allergens be declared in the ingredient declaration, and if there's a risk of a peanut or any other allergen, it will be called out in the statement.
The Food Allergen and Consumer Protection Act, which took effect Jan. 1, 2006, requires food manufacturers to identify the presence of any of the eight major food allergens: milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat and soy. As a result of the law, food manufacturers and operators are changing their products and menus to accommodate diners who have food allergies. Kraft has made it easier for you to recognize potential allergens in ingredients by adding food allergy warnings to labels. Kraft has also removed allergens from many of its products.

Panthers address needs, draft G Kugbila, LB Klein
Apr. 27, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers closed out the NFL draft by addressing needs at guard and linebacker, then selected another running back.
The Panthers stuck to filling areas of need early Saturday by selecting guard Edmund Kugbila from Division II Valdosta State in the fourth round and linebacker A.J. Klein from Iowa State in the fifth.
Then came a bit of a surprise. The Panthers added "scat back" Kenjon Barner from Oregon to an already crowded backfield that includes former Ducks star Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert.
But new general manager Dave Gettleman believes Barner brings something the other backs don't — a guy "who can flat out fly," he said.
"When the ball is in his hands, the fun begins," Gettleman said of Barner, who ran a 4.38 at his Pro Day at Oregon.
The 5-foot-9, 196-pound Barner had a huge senior season for the Ducks, scoring 23 touchdowns and rushing for 1,767 yards, the second-most in school history. He's also returned punts and kickoffs, which could come in handy given Carolina's open competition at both returner positions.
"My speed is what got me to where I am today," Barner said.
The 6-foot-4, 320-pound Kugbila figures to compete with 31-year-old Geoff Hangartner at the right guard spot.
He earned Division II All-American honors last season while helping Valdosta State to the national championship.
It marks the second straight year the Panthers selected a Division II offensive lineman, taking Amini Silatolu from Midwestern State in the second round in 2012. Silatolu wound up starting 15 games at left guard for the Panthers last season.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that while Kugbila is "raw," he's the type of big body, high energy guy the Panthers want and doesn't believe he'll have a hard time transitioning to the NFL because of his willingness to work hard.
Kugbila said he's eager to do whatever it takes to make the leap to the next level.
"I see myself as a complete player, but I know I have a lot of room to grow," Kugbila said. "I love run blocking and I love pass blocking and I just love football."
A native of Ghana, Kugbila moved to the United States when he was 10 after his parents won a visa lottery. He became the second player from Ghana taken in this year's draft joining defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, who was selected in the first round by the Detroit Lions.
Kugbila grew up playing soccer in Ghana and never saw an NFL game until watching the Baltimore Ravens defeat the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in January, 2001.
He immediately became a fan of Ray Lewis.
"I remember watching rugby one time growing up, but never the NFL," Kugbila said.
Klein gives the Panthers added depth at linebacker.
At 6-1 and 250-pounds, Klein shared Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2011 with Oklahoma defensive end Frank Alexander, whom the Panthers drafted in the fourth round last season.
A three-year starter at Iowa State, Klein played all three linebacker positions at various times, although his primary position was middle linebacker.
"Pretty much you can swap me out any of those positions," said Klein, a two-time All-Big 12 first team selection.
Rivera called Klein "very versatile," adding that he expects him to be a four-phase player on special teams.
Carolina's starters appear to be set at linebacker with Luke Kuechly in the middle and Jon Beason and Thomas Davis on the outside. They also added free agent Chase Blackburn from the New York Giants to the mix earlier this offseason.
"That's a very talented group of guys and I know I can come in and learn a lot from them," Klein said.
On Thursday and Friday, the Panthers spent their first- and second-round picks on defensive tackles, taking Star Lotulelei from Utah and Kawann Short from Purdue.
Carolina didn't have picks in the third and seventh rounds.
Gettleman said he expects Lotulelei and Short to be key contributors right away, while he hopes the other three can help out in various roles as they continue to develop as players.
"We felt like we didn't reach for anybody and we got great value for every pick," Gettleman said.
Surprisingly, the Panthers didn't address their young defensive backfield in the draft, but Gettleman doesn't seem all that concerned.
"Is there a position I'm worried about moving forward? I would say the answer is no," Gettleman said.

Bathroom furniture from Villeroy&Boch
A beautiful way to make the best use of space
Furniture is an essential design element in a bathroom. It forms the perfect framework for the bathroom ceramics and provides plenty of storage space and convenience. It should, therefore, always match the interior style and ceramics. Villeroy & Boch has bathroom furniture in all sizes, shapes, colours and designs.
> Find out more
Vanity units
The space savers from Villeroy & Boch ensure that everything you need will always be close at hand, right under the washbasin. Even the smallest of bathrooms will become tidier with more space.
> To the vanity units
Bathroom cabinets
The high-quality bathroom cabinets add a stylish and practical touch to the room. Choose from many different designs, sizes and colours.
> To the bathroom cabinets
Bathroom mirrors
Bathroom mirrors from Villeroy & Boch are a stylish way to make a room look bigger and the perfect stage for your reflection. Whether large or small, straight lines or playful, illuminated or even with storage space.
> To the bathroom mirrors
Furniture plays a key role when planning your dream bathroom, so you need to consider it very carefully. Ask yourself a few basic questions when planning your bathroom:
Space creates a sense of well-being
How much storage space do you need? A family bathroom, for example, needs a lot more storage surface than a guest bathroom. Bear in mind that storage space not only means you will be able to find everything quickly and easily in your bathroom, but that it also makes the bathroom look neat and tidy. A tidy bathroom always looks more spacious and elegant than an untidy one – regardless of how large or small the room is. If you want to see your dream bathroom in great detail before finalising it, then our bathroom planner is just the thing for you.
Perfect combinations
Would you like to combine bathroom furniture with sanitary ware? Then you have come to the right place. Villeroy & Boch has an excellent selection of stylish furniture and bathroom ceramics that match perfectly. Allowing you, for example, to combine the Artis surface-mounted washbasin with the Venticello vanity unit.
Colours and surfaces
Even small bathrooms look more spacious and harmonious when wall and floor tiles come together in one colour scheme. Bathroom furniture in a contrasting colour adds a fresh and modern touch to the room. Usually all that's needed is one small detail. Which surfaces you choose is a matter of taste: warm wood contrasts well with ceramics, a modern high-gloss finish creates a more uniform look.
> Go to colour in the bathroom
Bathroom furniture: How to find the right size
To allow function and design to interact perfectly, the pieces of bathroom furniture and the sanitary ware must be the right size. At Villeroy & Boch, you can choose between standard and made-to-measure sizes. But what should you look out for when choosing the size?
Vanity washbasin and vanity units
The size of the vanity units depends on the size of the vanity washbasin. You can, therefore, safely assume that they will be a perfect match. The Legato furniture platform for surface-mounted washbasins also lets you create a customised piece of bathroom furniture.
> More on Legato
Drawers and doors
Most pieces of furniture from Villeroy & Boch come with a choice of one or two drawers. To ensure that the doors on your bathroom furniture can open fully, you should allow for enough space between the washbasin and the piece of furniture. You should also think about the space additional tall or side cabinets will need.
> Find out more about personalised bathroom planning
The right combination for dream bathrooms
As specialists in feel-good bathrooms, Villeroy & Boch provides plenty of inspiration and options for you to create a bathroom that suits your lifestyle and interior style. Design your very own work of art using bathroom furniture, sanitary ware and tiles that are perfectly coordinated.
Combining runs in the family
If you want to combine different elements of bathroom furniture, then you should choose pieces of furniture from one Villeroy & Boch collection. This makes it much easier to give your bathroom a uniform design. Depending on the space, you could, for example, extend a vanity unit by adding more cabinets from the same collection.

Thanks for providing a great service. Your site was the most useful resource I encountered because of the room mail feature. Being able to make preliminary, semi-anonymous contacts with prospective roommates not only speeds the process of finding a roommate, but also allows for more selectivity in choosing someone who will work well with one's circumstances. -Alexandra
Just wanted to say thanks! I met husband using your service. Roomates.com did a great job of introducing me to many people with whom I had things in common. The last thing I expected was to find the man of my dreams. We met at the beginning of September and fell in love almost instantly. Our wedding is planned in March. This was not our goal, we were but just looking for a roomate and to save a few dollars. But we are eternally grateful and thank you so much for the connection!!!- Gail

Division of Apprenticeship Standards - Meet California's apprentices
Apprenticeship: Opportunity is knocking
Gregory Wilkerson
"I've been wanting to get into the medical field for 10 years. When I was on construction I sometimes worked 16 hours per day. The money was great but now I have to spend time with my young son. I had to reassess my whole life because I am the sole supporter for him. As a certified nursing assistant I can do something beneficial for myself and for the community. My intention is to get into the door and then I want to go back to school and get into radiology or ultrasound."
Lorriann Raji,
"When you're an apprentice you learn the old-fashioned way. And it's really the right way. Electricians and carpenters do it. They just don't come out of school as a professional. You're learning with adults and people who have been in a craft for years. You learn to respect their knowledge. And you learn to respect yourself when you have that knowledge."
Linda Gomez
"Sometimes I bring in my own ideas. I was looking through the food section of the newspaper and there was a recipe for apple crisp. The pastry chef agreed I could try it. We adapted it to our own style. We didn't care for the crisp topping in the original recipe so we combined it with another recipe and used that combination as the toppping. This took one or two tries. Within three days it was on the menu."
Gloria Mathews
"I've been telling people if this is the field they want to go into, go for it because it's really beneficial and it really helps you out. We had 100 clinical hours and 50 hours of theory. The program takes about two months. It can be easy if you take short cuts, but why would you want to take short cuts when you want the residents to be clean? I want to be clean and I assume they feel the same way."
Sandy Lowe
"A person really has to be serious about the culinary apprenticeship because three years is a long time. It goes quick, but it's not a small chunk of your life. They should take classes before getting into the program. You need to be dedicated. There is a panel interview before you're accepted for the apprenticeship to see what kind of drive you have and how serious you are about it."
Vieng Sasone
"Carpentry is the kind of work I like to do. I like everything about it. I'm still taking classes. I got on the union list and they called me. I showed up there every morning and they asked me if I wanted to work."
Derrick Juarez
"I started work here and they put me in the program. You learn more this way. They teach you everything. You work with a journeyman. You learn the right way to do it."
Sam Apodaca
"Going to school for your trade is like adding another tool to your tool belt. The guys respect you more. There's a lot of things you need to know in the field. But combine that with your books and you turn into a professional."
Candy Lane
"It helps to have a pre-apprenticeship. As a beginner they really want you to get out there and hustle your own work, get out there and knock on doors three times per week. I worked the whole year, all but two months. I personally haven't found it a problem finding work. I've worked two months at the school now."
Clint Hunt
"You don't have to know anything but they give you a math test when you come in. The higher you score on the test, the higher you are placed on the waiting list. It takes five years to graduate from a plumber apprentice. There's 10 periods of apprenticeship. There's a good living to be made here and you'll be very well taken care of."

What's Hawt: "A high court ruling earlier today has pushed UK ISPs one step closer to blocking file sharing site The Pirate Bay."
I foresee the day when we have to pay for everything. :/ One thing I hate about digital content is that sometimes you don;t know what you are buying. More stores should have preview services and make music cheaper...cause let's face it...sometimes you blindly buy an album and half of the music on it is crap. Also what about the legitimate users who use torrenting services to move huge files? I guess they could always move to another torrenting agency, but if the law can be applied to one...then who says the others aren't at risk?
It sure is taking a LONG time for them to finally get the boot.
For every one site they take down, another dozen will surface. Even if they had some magic way to stop this, people would just go back to IRC or something

Cake Stand GIVEAWAY and Martha Stewart Weddings!
Last year, I created a cake for the Minted Ad on Town and Country Weddings Magazine Fall/Winter 2010. This year, the exact same ad was featured on the Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine Summer 2011. I've always loved this unique and chic ad. Victoria Smith did a beautiful job on the page layout.
I don't think there is much to say about this project since it's the same ad from last time. If you want to learn more about this ad, you can access my old post here.
I "soooo" love cake stands (I'm a hoarder)! Every time I see one, I must get it or I will die wishing. Collecting them can be so addicting! Several of my favorite cake stands are made by a company called Mosser Glass. Their milk glass cake stands are quite heavy, super solid and extremely durable. I'll be giving away a brand new 9 inch milk glass cake stand to one of my readers!
I purchased mine at Cambria Cove (just closed) but you can also check them out at the My Sweet and Saucy Shop.
Just simply answer my question by leaving a comment:
I love cake stands and tableware. What type of things do you love?
You can also enter a second time by clicking the "like" button on the Art and Appetite Facebook page. If you have already done that, it still counts. Leave another comment here (on this blog post) letting me know you've liked our Facebook page for an additional entry.
One winner will be picked through Random.org
Contest ends on Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 11:59 pm PST
Open to international readers
Your number may change due to deletion of spam comments and addition of pending comments
Edited to add: As of 2013, AFTER the contests winner/winners have received their prize/prizes, I have deleted several comments due to an aftermath of realizing missed spam comments. On this matter, the number and order of comments is no longer accurate. Again, this has happened AFTER the winners have been announced during the time frame of the contest.

When the news broke that Butler University head coach Brad Stevens was departing Indianapolis for the Boston Celtics' head coaching job, there were two tweets that stood alone in the flurry of activity.
"You're welcome, Bill Simmons," tweeted Butler Blue II, the mascot emeritus of Stevens' former university.
Moments later:
"You owe me one, Leprechaun." -- this from the current furry face of the university, Butler Blue III, otherwise known as Trip.
PHOTO GALLERY: See some of the best images of Blue II and Blue III
They technically can't speak, but they have spoken.
They've spoken during two Final Four appearances, on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," and about joining two new conferences in two years.
Somehow, without opposable thumbs or a grasp of the English language, Blue II and Trip lead the conversation about Butler University in a way no else has.
And it's all because Michael Kaltenmark, Butler's director of web marketing, has given them a voice.
Kaltennmark was an undergraduate student at Butler when the university adopted its first official live mascot in 2000—an English bulldog named Blue that was cared for by a Butler staffer and alumna, Keili Walker.
But Butler Blue I's reign was a trial run of sorts for the university, and while most people on campus knew of the dog, her appearances were few and far between.
When Walker moved to Washington State in 2004, Blue I made the trip with her owner, leaving Butler to figure out its next move.
Enter Kaltenmark, who stayed on staff following his graduation and was then working as the assistant director of annual giving. With a bare-bones plan in mind, Kaltenmark approached the university about getting another live mascot and was soon given the green light to proceed.
"It was sort of a handshake agreement and that was it," he said. "There was no contract, no guidelines—it was very 'figure it out.' "
Kaltenmark returned to Butler with a 7-week-old bulldog puppy, no guarantees of success, limited expectations and no idea on what he was about to embark.
But he had a plan brewing in the crevices of his marketing mind.
He wanted the dog, named Butler Blue II or Blue for short, to be the face of the university.
"In my mind, I'm thinking that this dog needs to be very visible and present all the time. We need to run with it. This is something that most universities don't have," he said.
"I didn't really ask anybody. I just ran with it."
Kaltenmark did a lot of running in those first few months—to puppy classes, to hospitals, to bar mitzvahs, to block parties, to pretty much anywhere Blue II's presence was requested.
As he quickly learned, having a bulldog puppy was exhausting by itself, let alone having one whose presence was so widely requested all over the Indianapolis metropolitan area.
He documented every aspect of their adventures and interactions on Flickr, which allowed Blue II's growing fan base to follow the pup as he snuffed and snorted his way around the Butler community.
There are 13,000 photos of Blue II to date, ranging from him snuggling with Kaltenmark's son, whom the dog refers to as "Master Everett," to him brushing paws with Georgetown Jack in the nation's capital.
With the evolution of social media, so, too, came Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages for both Blue II and little brother Trip.
Blue II Social Media: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
Blue III Social Media: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
Every picture is a moment—a vignette in a life of the nation's most famous bulldogs—but also a glimpse into the culture of the university itself.
"It gives Butler more of a warm, fuzzy kind of feel," Kaltenmark said. "When people think about Butler, they don't just think about a place with buildings and professors in Indianapolis."
They can't speak, but they're the face of the university, wrinkly snouts and all.
Just ask Brad Stevens.
One afternoon, as he was leaving behind his office in Hinkle Fieldhouse, Stevens noticed a mother and a daughter wandering the empty venue.
They approached Stevens, flagging him down.
As the sunlight filtering through the vaulted windows of Hinkle illuminated Stevens, a brief look of recognition crossed the mother's face.
"You look familiar," the woman told Stevens. "Anyway, do you know where I can find Blue?"
It's not hard to find a Blue—whether it's II or III—in Indianapolis.
Wherever Kaltenmark goes, the two are sure to follow, tongues wagging, from sun up to sun down.
"It never ends because they're with me all the time," Kaltenmark said of his job as full-time pup-wrangler. "We're rarely apart."
They tool around every day in the Blue Mobile, a custom-outfitted van bearing their faces that was gifted to Kaltenmark by a local Ford dealer.
They have their own parking spot on campus.
Kaltenmark's office also is Blue II and Trip's office, complete with dog toys and blankets and various canine paraphernalia strewn everywhere marking their shared domain.
Students filter in and out, offering the dogs belly rubs or treats.
At his desk, Kaltenmark filters through appearance requests in addition to his normal duties while the centerpieces of those requests snore on the floor next to him.
He might occasionally stop to snap a picture of Blue II or Trip doing something silly to share with the dogs' thousands of Twitter followers.
"The dogs are successful online because we typically respond to people and are conversational," he explained. "Having character and personality that shines though—that's one of the best parts about it."
On March 9, 2013, Blue II officially handed over the mascot duties to Trip by way of a halftime "Changing of the Collar" ceremony.
It was the final home game of Butler's 2013 season—Blue II's ninth season with the team.
Blue II received a standing ovation by the sold-out crowd at Hinkle, but the well wishes were echoed nationwide on Twitter as the two dogs amassed a total of 2,000 mentions from March 9-10.
It didn't take long for Trip to catapult into Internet stardom.
Four months later, he starred in a Rocky-esque montage chronicling his and the rest of Butler's athletic teams' training for their admittance into the Big East Conference.
Within hours, the video of the stout bulldog's exploits chasing balls and traipsing around campus went viral and was mentioned by virtually every big-name sports outlet in the United States.
What most people don't know was that the video almost didn't make it past the cutting room floor.
The student producer in charge of filming and editing the video, sophomore Tim Valentine, had originally set the two-minute video to the "Rocky" theme song.
Unfortunately for Butler, the song is protected by copyright laws.
The unanimous decision was that the second version featuring the rights-free music paled in comparison, but would be released anyway.
"We're kinda down on it, but we still put it out there anyway because it's cute and we worked hard on it," Kaltenmark explained. "So to watch it go viral in spite of that really opened our eyes."
For as long as there has been Brad Stevens behind the bench, there has been Blue II on the sidelines.
One is in Boston, embarking on a new journey. The other grudgingly accepts the terms of retirement, hanging his head in sadness as his protege leaves for an appearance.
But they will always share that moment in the hallways of Hinkle.
Stevens returned from New Orleans in the dead of night after his team knocked off No. 2 seed Florida.
As the coach gathered his luggage from the undercarriage of the bus, Blue II sat waiting.
Despite his exhaustion and the media circus awaiting comment, Stevens leaned down to pet Blue II.
"I got you another road trip," he told the dog.
Now it's Trip's turn to experience these moments. And as long as Kaltenmark is there to document his travels, it'll be our turn, too.

If you can't buy seats at the frantic box office initial sale, don't worry, a large inventory of tickets for all concerts remain available at the BillyJoelTour2014.com and Tickets-Cheapest.com sites even after they are sold out from the venue.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2014
Tickets go on sale today for the public to buy seats at the third Billy Joel concert May 27, 2014 at the Hollywood Bowl. Two Billy Joel previously released shows May 17 and May 22 almost sold out every seat at the box office. These performances come on the heels of the Billy Joel Chicago concert at Wrigley Field being sold out in minutes and announcements of stadium shows in Philadelphia and Washington DC. Nine Billy Joel New York City tour dates continue to sell out except a few seats behind the stage. Fortunately, fans can find a large inventory of tickets for all Billy Joel concerts even after they are sold out at the box office from the BillyJoelTour2014.com site in association with Tickets-Cheapest.com including premium seats and floor tickets.
As for the songs one may hear at these 2014 Billy Joel concerts, some may not be quite as familiar to those looking to buy Billy Joel tickets, but few may classify as brand new creations. Billy Joel spoke about playing some songs he rarely if ever performed in concerts before. Of course, fans should hear Piano Man and many Billy Joel favorites too. Based on the surprise concert on Long Island and recent Billy Joel concerts we prepared a probable Billy Joel 2014 set list indicating songs fans will likely hear.
One might have thought that with the special relationship established between Billy Joel and Madison Square Garden, a west coast show might take place at the newly renovated Forum rather than a Billy Joel Hollywood Bowl concert. The Eagles concerts at the Forum opened the new venue, which happens to now be owned by Madison Square Garden. With a third Billy Joel concert at Hollywood Bowl going on sale, it appears the Bowl will represent his only venue for a Los Angeles performance. Following Billy Joel, music fans can buy Hollywood Bowl Tickets for Bruno Mars the Playboy Jazz Festival, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Luke Bryan. Other new Forum performances include a Justin Timberlake concert date, Imagine Dragons and Paul Simon with Sting. The two One Direction Rose Bowl concerts may sell the most Los Angeles music tickets of all. Theater fans might enjoy Lion King or Book Of Mormon in Los Angeles at Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Sports fans can use Tickets-Cheapest.com to buy seats at the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Dodgers and Angels games. In most cases Tickets-Cheapest.com offers tickets cheaper than other resale sites including prices lower than Stubhub.
For fans in the area, don't miss this opportunity to see the Piano Man live. If you can't buy seats at the frantic box office initial sale, don't worry, a large inventory of tickets for all concerts remain available at the BillyJoelTour2014.com and Tickets-Cheapest.com sites even after they are sold out from the venue and for less than other resale outlets including premium seats and floor tickets. Buy with even more confidence knowing Tickets-Cheapest and Financial Firebird Corporation stands as an accredited BBB member who guarantees authenticity of all tickets.
About Financial Firebird, Billy Joel Tour 2014 and Tickets Cheapest
The sites to find cheap tickets online, and its sister sites, all geared for the consumers looking for low prices, are affiliated with the Financial Firebird Corporation Travel Group, and stand among the top sites sought by travelers.

For the three weeks, Asphalt & Rubber will be coming to you from New Zealand and Australia, as I'll be taking my first true vacation in nearly six years (booyah!). The high-profile blogging lifestyle is a tough mistress, and so far this year I've been on the road nearly 40% of the time (that figure is pure exaggeration, though A&R's entire June article coverage came to you from airports, hotels, and the back of my car).
The plan for the coming weeks is for my time down under to be less of a working holiday than my trips have been in the past (like Qatar and the Isle of Man, for example), so A&R's mix of daily news coverage will come at you in spurts, while longer op-ed pieces will try and fill-in the gaps on days where I'm riding around in Kangaroo pouches, or whatever the hell it is they do for fun around here.

From no-trade clauses to eminently tradable contracts.
That's part of Theo Epstein's massive remaking of the Cubs: retaining talent while also retaining the flexibility to deal that same talent.
From no-trade clauses to eminently tradable contracts.
That's part of Theo Epstein's massive remaking of the Cubs: retaining talent while also retaining the flexibility to deal that same talent.
Witness Starlin Castro's new deal. It covers seven years for $60 million with a club option in 2020 for $16 million or a $1 million buyout.
Without a blasted no-trade clause, Castro's deal becomes a long-term commitment that the Cubs ship elsewhere in no time flat. The Cubs also benefit by buying up arbitration and some early free-agent years as they build toward Epstein's "sustained success.''
The contract represents a fair deal for a 22-year-old shortstop, as well, because it guarantees financial security, takes the edge off a bad season, and still gives him the chance to cash in again when he theoretically is at the peak of his prime years.
Castro still has issues with discipline at the plate and in the field, but for now he joins Anthony Rizzo as the centerpieces for a remade team and philosophy.
Or Castro and his reasonable contract could be dealt.
In theory, the Cubs could spend the next three seasons coaching Castro and gauging his development. If they determine Castro will never walk and never learn to work deep pitch counts the way Epstein wants from every hitter in the organization, then the Cubs can deal him while having spent just $16 million total through 2015.
Remember, Epstein dealt Nomar Garciaparra out of Boston, so believe the possibility that he'd trade Castro.
But it might be the team and not Castro. Let's say the Cubs are going nowhere in 2018. That would mean Epstein has extended the Cubs' philosophy of sustained failure to 110 years. Congratulations. But anyway, Castro likely would be more valuable to a contending team and the Cubs could save $23 million over the last two guaranteed seasons while trying to rebuild the rebuild with young arms. This is a recording. But still, it's what a team does when it isn't asphyxiated by no-trade clauses.
See the Ryan Dempster mess for details. The Cubs had a deal based on what Dempster approved, but then Dempster killed that deal. The Cubs were forced to go another way and settle for less talent and breed greater distrust of a guy who gives a team its word.
Or you can see the Alfonso Soriano deal for details. Castro's team option in 2020 is still $2 million less than Soriano's last guaranteed season that comes in 2014. The mind boggles.
Soriano's deal remains Exhibit A for what not to do, or at least for what Epstein won't do now or in the near future. No Jim Hendry playbook for him. Hendry seemed to give everyone a no-trade clause, although Soriano's $136 million deal was a de facto no-trade clause.
And another thing: Don't minimize the arbitration years the Cubs bought out. They can be costly for that one season and only that one season. They also set the floor for the next arbitration deal that, again, is costly for that one season and only that one season.
Matt Garza, for instance, cost the Cubs about $10 million this season. Good luck trying to amortize your view of Garza as a Cub. He was expected to get about $15 million if he went to arbitration this offseason. But now he might only get $12 million because he suffered an arm injury and has been shut down.
See what I mean? That's a lot of money for a guess. Arbitration is largely bad and stupid for teams. The Cubs seem forced to trade Garza and his questions instead of paying a lot of money for a pitcher who might be good on a team that certainly will be bad again.
When you're rebuilding from the bottom up -- even if you haven't found the bottom yet -- it's about rounding up all the talent you can evaluate and retain the flexibility to flip it for something better.
We'll see how firm Epstein stands in free-agency when players have the leverage to demand no-trade clauses, but the Castro deal is a good start.

NCCHC 2004: Highlights of the 2004 Annual NCCHC Meeting in New Orleans
December 2004
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
The 2004 annual Conference of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care took place on November 13-17 2004 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This meeting is one of the most important gatherings of correctional health care providers that take place every year. Prior to the conference, IDCR hosted a pre-conference seminar and the Society for Correctional Physicians held its annual meeting. The conference sessions featured eight simultaneous tracks over three days, to the desperation of some attendees, who had too many quality presentations to choose from. Fortunately, audio tapes and handouts from are still available for sale (to obtain copies visit www.nrstaping.com/ncchc/ncchc2004fall.php).
Over 200 correctional healthcare workers attended IDCR's pre-conference seminar, which was made possible again this year with the generous support of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Karl Brown, M.D., (Infectious Disease Supervisor at Riker's Island Jail) provided a great number of detailed slides that illustrated the manifestations of syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and chancroid in correctional settings. Joseph Bick, M.D., (IDCR Co-chief editor and Director of the California Medical Facility, California Department of Corrections) spoke on infection control within the correctional setting, illuminating a number of barriers to cleanliness that impact on the transmission of infections in prisons and jail. Annie De Groot, M.D., (IDCR Co-chief editor, Brown University) provided an update on HIV treatment recommendations for pregnant women. She pointed out a number of medications that are contraindicated and suggested that participants keep up with changes in the guidelines by accessing the Health and Human Services Web site on (http://hab.hrsa.gov/womencare.htm). Neil Fisher, M.D., (Medical Director at Martin Correctional Institute) concluded the IDCR pre-conference seminar with a discussion on new 2004 HIV medications and guidelines, which will be the focus of the January 2005 issue of IDCR.
IDCR board members also presented seminars during the conference proper. Jody Rich, M.D., discussed methadone maintenance and harm reduction in state and federal prisons. Joe Paris, M.D., Ph.D., presided over a symposium on hepatitis C virus (HCV) that discussed HCV screening and testing, the role of liver biopsy, and treatment guidelines. David Paar, M.D., delivered a rousing seminar on HIV treatment guidelines from his perspective as a correctional HIV provider in the Texas Department of Corrections.
