Creamy potato soup
(If interested, do follow me on instagram: mykitchenantics, to see nooks and corners of the house while i set it up).
My props are all 'propped up' up stairs and that's kind of a pain because it means i need to plan my shoot. Believe it or not, I don't plan my photo shoot in advance. I do a spur of the moment thing which means my set is a disaster zone after I'm done. I try the food in various serve ware before deciding on the one i like. Now that i have to go upstairs each time and since we've already established that I'm the lazy kinds, it requires a bit more planning.
The left over chicken i used was spicy, so the soup was too, if you do want to give a bit of heat, add a tiny piece of birds eye chilli while cooking the potatoes

Bengali mutton curry
The internet!!!! Since its a new built, internet has not been sorted out. We have been given a temporary solution and we seem to run out of the given allowance within a week. So uploading, editing pictures is an issue. This actually is a very lame excuse because im still on limited data and i managed a blog post!

I was a bit doubtful after reading the ingredients in his mulled Thai spiced lager. Coriander stalks and mint leaves with beer?? Wasn't too sure how it would taste, but it wasn't that bad. Of course if you are not a fan of lemon grass, then this drink is a not for you. Also, the spice does really kick in once warmed, so be sure to not go overboard with it. Get both his recipes here.
Borderfields Gift Packs
I'm a sucker for anything infused, be it alcohol or oil or cakes or whatever it is. So when Borderfields sent me a gift pack with a range of infused oils, i was pretty happy i could use most of them while entertaining during the holidays. The Borderfields British Infusions Cold Pressed Rapeseed oil gift pack range includes Basil, Garlic, Chilli and lemon infusions and can be picked up exclusively here.
Do share your Borderfields' festive creations on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
Lactofree at the really charming Bake-a-Boo tea shop in Hampstead. Done up in pretty pastels and laces and flowers, it was almost like walking into an Alice in Wonderland enchanted tea party. Amidst chit chatting with fellow bloggers, we got to enjoy some incredible treats using products from the Lactofree range. From smoothies to sandwiches, to turkey meat balls to pita Christmas trees to scones to mince pie cupcakes to Irish cream and truffles, we were stuffed to the gills, and had to sadly leave behind a gorgeous looking trifle. I have to also mention the impressive collection tea's this lovely lil place had. I tried the strawberry and kiwi and kept stealing sips from the almond tea (this was like having marzipan) and rose tea my blogger friend Suchi had ordered.
I'm a big fan of the Schwartz products. In preparation for winter and the holidays, Schwartz has introduced 2 new products to their vast range- Mulled Cider and Mulled Wine spice sachets. For lazy bums like me who love mulled drinks but cant be bothered to put together the spices and make them, this comes as a saving grace. They come in sachets and are pretty easy to use- much similar to tea bags.
Chia Bia
Chia Bia challenge and see how it does good to your system, and so i decided to give it a go. I admit, it was a bit of a struggle to get the ball rolling when trying to use an ingredient that you have no idea about. Chia seeds are high in fibre, protein, calcium, omega 3 and so on; and with Chia Bia, you only need 2 tablespoons a day to get you feeling tip top.
I used them in a lemon drizzle cake and proudly took it to work the next day much to the disappointment of my health conscious boss who as it turned out was a big fan of chia seeds. She told me that baking it or cooking it kind of defeats the whole purpose of using a super food like this and insisted i try it out in salads, smoothies and drinks.
I took the chia berry mixes- cranberry and blueberry to her place soon after and i tasted one of the most amazing smoothies there. I honestly had no idea kale could taste so nice in a drink. She made a green smoothie with broccoli, apples, oranges, kale, banana and some chia cranberry and also sprinkled some whole chia seeds on top for good measure and promised me it would taste good. Of course, nothing green could ever taste good was my reply but i had to change that soon after my first sip. It was delicious. Ever since, ive been motivated to try vegetable smoothies at home and have quite succeeded in making a few using Chia Bia. I still have plans to try it out in a cookie or a snack bar, but i think for now I'm thoroughly enjoying them in my smoothies. You can seriously consider these smoothies as a detox option after all that binge eating and drinking during the holidays.
With thanks to all the brands mentioned for gifts and event invites.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a valuable commodity throughout the world, but corn rootworms (Chrysomelidae: Diabrotica spp.) often cause economic damage and increase production costs. Current rootworm management strategies have limitations, and in order to create viable management alternatives, researchers have been developing novel maize lines using Eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides L.) germplasm, a wild relative of maize that is resistant to rootworms. Ten maize Tripsacum-introgressed inbred lines derived from recurrent selection of crosses with gamagrass and teosinte (Zea diploperennis Iltis) recombinants and two public inbred lines were assessed for susceptibility to western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) and yield in a two-year field study. Two experimental maize inbred lines, SDG11 and SDG20, had mean root damage ratings that were significantly lower than the susceptible public line B73. Two other experimental maize inbred lines, SDG12 and SDG6, appeared tolerant to rootworm damage because they exhibited yield increases after rootworm infestation in both years. In the majority of cases, mean yield per plant of experimental maize lines used in yield analyses was equal to or exceeded that of the public inbred lines B73 and W64A. Our study indicates that there is potential to use Tripsacum-introgressed maize germplasm in breeding programs to enhance plant resistance and/or tolerance to corn rootworms, although further research on insect resistance and agronomic potential of this germplasm needs to be conducted in F1 hybrids.
Corn rootworm larvae consume maize root tissues, thus negatively impacting plant physiology and function (Riedell 1990; Hou et al. 1997; Riedell and Reese 1999), and impeding harvesting due to stalk lodging (Sutter et al. 1990). Ultimately, larval rootworm feeding reduces yield (Sutter et al. 1990; Spike and Tollefson 1991), and can cause significant economic losses (Metcalf 1986).
Pesticides, crop rotation, and transgenic hybrids that express insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) are commonly used to manage larval rootworm populations (Wilson et al. 2005), although there are drawbacks and limitations to current control methods. Broad-spectrum pesticides applied as seed treatments, directly to the soil, and for adult rootworm control can negatively affect human health and the environment, and corn rootworms have evolved resistance to some of these insecticides (Ball and Weekman 1962; Meinke et al. 1998). In some areas, rootworms have adapted to crop rotation by laying eggs in alternate crops such as soybean, Glycine max L. (Levine et al. 2002; Rondon and Gray 2004), or extending their diapause (Krysan et al. 1984; Levine et al. 1992). Recently registered transgenic Bt hybrids target corn rootworms. However, their utility would be severely compromised if pests evolved resistance. Due to non-selective pesticide use, decline of crop rotation effectiveness, and the presence of corn rootworms in Europe (Kiss et al. 2005), there is an increasing need for alternate rootworm management strategies. Furthermore, non-transgenic hybrids are desirable for use in certain situations, including organic fields, refuges required for insect resistance management, and when producers are hesitant or unable to use genetically modified organisms.
Plant breeders and entomologists have been searching for rootworm resistant and/or tolerant maize lines for decades (Branson et al. 1983; Gray and Steffey 1998; Hibbard et al. 1999). Research has focused on using germplasm of maize and its relatives for use in breeding programs (Branson 1971; Moellenbeck et al. 1995; Hibbard et al. 1999; Eubanks 2002, 2006; Prischmann et al. 2007), refining how plant susceptibility is evaluated (Moellenbeck et al. 1994; Knutson et al. 1999), and investigating resistance mechanisms (Ajani and Lonnquist 1979; Xie et al. 1992; Assabgui et al. 1995).
Several plant species can contribute to corn rootworm development and survival in the field, including grassy weeds and grass species (Branson and Ortman 1970; Clark and Hibbard 2004; Oyediran et al. 2004; Wilson and Hibbard 2004). In contrast, Eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides L.) is a wild relative of maize that is resistant to corn rootworms via non-preference and/or antibiosis (Branson 1971; Moellenbeck et al. 1995; Eubanks 2001). However, maize-Tripsacum hybrids are usually sterile and thus cannot pass on genes responsible for rootworm resistance (Eubanks 1997). Eubanks (1997, 2001, 2002) crossed Tripsacum with diploid perennial teosinte (Zea diploperennis Iltis, Doebley and Guzmán), another maize relative, and produced viable recombinants that were cross-fertile with maize. This allowed the incorporation of Tripsacum genetic material into corn and development of experimental lines, some of which exhibited rootworm resistance, as evidenced in insect bioassays and field root damage ratings (Eubanks 2002, 2006). Continued breeding has produced new Tripsacum-introgressed maize inbred lines that need to be evaluated for rootworm susceptibility and agronomic performance under field conditions.
Our objectives were to evaluate the susceptibility to western corn rootworms (Chrysomelidae: Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) and agronomic performance of 10 experimental inbred lines derived from Tripsacum-introgressed maize germplasm and two susceptible public inbred lines in the field after infestation with rootworm eggs. We used the previously established Iowa 1–6 root damage rating scale (Hills and Peters 1971; Branson 1986; Mayo 1986) to assess root damage.
Materials and Methods
Experimental plot setup
The experiment was conducted in 2005 and 2006 at the Eastern South Dakota Soil and Water Conservation Research Farm near Brookings, SD (USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Northern Plains Area). Corn lines were planted in fields managed under a four-year rotation of corn, soybeans, oats, and spring wheat. Crop rotation was used to ensure that experimental plots were not contaminated by surrounding natural rootworm populations, which would increase variability within the study.
In order to determine appropriate fertilization levels, the soil was sampled on 4 April 2005 and 12 April 2006 from five locations throughout the field. At each location, five samples were taken from two depths (0–15 and 15–61 cm), and sent to a soil testing lab (South Dakota State University, Soil Testing Lab, Brookings, SD). On 29 April 2005, 157 kg/ha starter fertilizer (14-36-13) and 151 kg/ha urea (46-0-0) were surface applied, while on 4 May 2006, 177 kg/ha starter (14-36-13) and 105 kg/ha urea (46-0-0) were applied. Fertilizer was added to the field (19 m × 20 m) according to soil testing recommendations for 7500 kg/ha yield, and incorporated into the top 10.2 cm of soil via field cultivation.
There were 12 maize lines used in the study: 10 experimental inbred lines (SDG6, SDG7, SDG9, SDG10, SDG11, SDG12, SDG15, SDG17, SDG19, and SDG20) and two susceptible publicly available inbred lines (B73 and W64A). None of the experimental or public inbred lines had seed treatments. The original crosses made to establish experimental populations (Eubanks 1997, 2001, 2002) involved Tripsacum dactyloides, which is resistant to corn rootworms, crossed with Zea diploperennis, resulting in fertile intergeneric hybrids. All experimental lines were introgressed with genes from one or two Tripsacum-diploperennis recombinant lines (Tripsacorn and/or Sun Star) (Eubanks 2002, 2006). Tripsacorn has a tetraploid T. dactyloides as the seed parent (Source: Indiana University, Bloomington, IN; originally collected from Santa Claus, Spencer County, IN; 1949–1954) and Z. diploperennis as the pollen parent (Source: Upper las Joyas, Sierra de Manantlan, Jalisco, Mexico; Iltis, Nee & Guzman Acc. #1250; 1979). In contrast, Sun Star has Z. diploperennis as the seed parent (Source: Jalisco, Mexico; R. Guzman M. Acc. #777) and a diploid T. dactyloides as the pollen parent (Source: Manhattan, KS; K. Anderson). SDG6, SDG9, SDG15, and SDG19 have T. dactyloides cytoplasmic genes, meaning that T. dactyloides was the female parent of the bridging cross with Z. diploperennis. For SDG7, SDG10, SDG11, SDG12, and SDG17, Z. diploperennis was the female parent in the cross. SDG20 was derived from a three-way cross with parentage tracing to T. dactyloides as the female parent for two individuals and to Z. diploperennis as the female parent of the third. Reciprocal crosses were then performed between maize and the intergeneric hybrids (T. dactyloides × Z. diploperennis or Z. diploperennis ×T. dactyloides), and the resulting trigeneric hybrid plants backcrossed to maize or one of the intergeneric hybrids. The experimental inbred lines used in this study were derived from a recurrent selection breeding program using the maize inbreds B73 and W64A with a minimum of 14 generations of recurrent selection, backcrossing, and selfing. For more detailed information on recurrent selection methods, development of the experimental inbred lines, and genes involved in expression of rootworm tolerance see Eubanks (1998, 2002, 2003, 2006). The Sun Dance Genetics (SDG) lines in this study ranged from approximately 72% corn 28% exotic, to 97% corn 3% exotic.
The study consisted of two experiments conducted simultaneously: an evaluation of maize line susceptibility to larval corn rootworm feeding damage (root damage ratings, root fresh weight), and an evaluation of how rootworm infestation impacted grain yield. Experiments were conducted in adjacent blocks within the same field. We utilized randomized complete block designs with four replicates per experiment. Experimental maize inbred lines were planted within east-west single-row experimental plots with 0.76 m row spacing. Each experimental row was separated by a buffer row.
On 16 May 2005, buffer rows (DeKalb® 440) were sown at the label recommended density of 74 130 seeds/ha using an eight row vacuum planter (Max Merge 7200, John Deere, Moline, IL), while on 12 May 2006 buffer rows (DeKalb® 46-26) were sown at the label recommended density of 63 010 seeds/ha. Hybrid lines were used in buffer rows to protect inbred lines from adverse weather conditions, especially wind damage. While hybrid maize plants were approximately 2.0–2.5 m high and may have shaded some inbred maize lines, these effects were uniform across experimental rows. Maize inbred lines were hand-planted on 19 May 2005 and 16 May 2006 using jab planters (Easy-Plant Model 98; R.T. Adkins, Parsonsburg, MD) with eight seeds of one maize line per single-row plot, 5 cm seed depth, and 23 cm plant spacing. There were no formal buffer plants between experimental plots planted in the same row, however, the first and last plant in each experimental plot were not sampled. There was 0.76 m of buffer plants (2005, DeKalb® 440, 94 days relative maturity; 2006, DeKalb® 46-26, 96 days relative maturity) on the end of each row of experimental maize plants.
For evaluating maize line susceptibility to rootworms, all rows with experimental maize inbred lines were infested with rootworm eggs. In contrast, the second experiment evaluating grain yield was a split plot experiment with two treatments, (1) an agar-only control and (2) rootworm infested plots. Rootworm-treated rows were mechanically infested on 17 May 2005 and 15 May 2006 with 1000 viable western corn rootworm eggs per 30 cm suspended in a 0.15% agar solution (Palmer et al. 1977) at an approximate depth of 10 cm using Sutter and Branson's (1980). Control plots in the second experiment were mechanically infested with only the 0.15% agar solution. Buffer plants were not infested with rootworm eggs.
Rootworm eggs were obtained from the primary diapausing colony maintained at the North Central Agricultural Research Laboratory in Brookings, SD. Hatch controls were performed prior to infestation to determine the percentage of viable eggs. Using a fine paintbrush, three batches of 100 eggs were placed on moistened filter paper in separate Petri dishes (100 mm × 15 mm), incubated at 25°C, and monitored for up to 4 weeks. In 2005, 87%± 2% of the eggs hatched, while in 2006, 86%± 4% of the eggs were viable.
In order to estimate western corn rootworm larval development and maximum root feeding damage, on 18 May 2005 and 16 May 2006 we placed the soil probe of a biophenometer (Model: BIO-51-TP03C; Omnidata® datapod, Logan, UT) to a depth of 10 cm into the soil and monitored soil temperature and growing degree days (GDD) with an upper threshold of 35°C and a lower threshold of 11°C (Fisher et al. 1990). Corn rootworm development is linked to temperature (Jackson and Elliott 1988; Woodson and Jackson 1996), and maximum rootworm damage occurs around the time adults begin emerging (Branson 1986).
Root damage and root fresh weight
On 13 July 2005 and 12 July 2006, four root systems per plot were sampled and rated for root damage. Root systems were removed from the soil when the majority of the insect population reached the pupal stage of development, which occurs approximately 600(base 11) GDD after egg infestation (Riedell and Evenson 1993). Plant shoots were cut above the lowest visible node and discarded, and the remaining stalk was labelled with a water proof (Tyvek) tag attached with a cable tie. The root systems were dug with a four pronged potato fork. Loose soil was removed from the root systems in the field by gentle tapping. Root systems were then soaked outside in mesh baskets suspended in tanks of water with water softener (1.9 l/tank; Calgon®, Reckitt Benckiser Inc., Wayne, NJ) to help disperse soil aggregates. In 2005, roots were soaked for 1–5 days, while in 2006, roots were only soaked for 1 day. After soaking, root systems were laid across wire mesh baskets and gently washed with high pressure sprayers to remove remaining soil without damaging the roots. Although some deterioration occurred while roots were soaking, it was primarily confined to the stem and did not interfere with root washing and processing. Root systems were then placed within doubled plastic garbage bags and stored in a 7°C cold room to retain moisture and prevent deterioration.
After 6–8 days in cold storage, shoots were cut at the seventh node, the top portion of the stem was discarded, and root system fresh weight was recorded. Root systems were then rated for rootworm larval feeding damage using the Iowa 1–6 scale (Hills and Peters 1971). This rating scale is based upon the following criteria: 1 = no root damage or a few feeding scars, 2 = feeding scars, but no roots pruned to 3.8 cm of the plant, 3 = several roots pruned to 3.81 cm, but an entire node of roots not pruned, 4 = one node of roots pruned, 5 = two nodes pruned, 6 = three or more nodes pruned.
Maize agronomics
To assess the impact of larval feeding on grain yield of the experimental maize lines, all ears were hand harvested from both non-infested control plots and rootworm infested plots from the second experiment. From 17 October 2005 to 21 October 2005 and from 23 October 2006 to 25 October 2006, ears were picked from all plants within the plots, excluding the first and last plant in each plot, for a maximum of six sampled plants. Ear damage from insect pests was negligible. Ears were placed in tightly-woven mesh bags, labelled, and air dried at approximately 21–26°C in a greenhouse for 7–10 days. Grain was removed from the cobs by feeding ears through a modified corn sheller (McCormick-Deering; International Harvester Co., Chicago, IL), and any missed kernels removed by hand. Grain was then cleaned using an Almaco grain cleaner (Allan Machine Co., Nevada, IA), which blows air over the sample, thus removing chaff and other light debris. The cleaned grain was weighed on a Mettler PC 4400 balance (Mettler Instrument Corp., Hightstown, NJ) and tested for percent moisture using a John Deere Moisture Chek Plus™ (John Deere, Moline, IL). These data were used to extrapolate grain yield at a 150 g/kg moisture basis.
Plant and primary ear node height were measured on three plants per plot in three replicates. Plant height was measured from the ground to the tip of the tassel using a digital reading measuring pole (Sokkia, Senshin Industry Co., Ltd, Osaka, Japan), while primary ear node height was measured from the ground to the uppermost ear node on the stem.
Data analysis
Root fresh weight, grain yield, plant height, and primary ear node height data were log(X + 1) transformed prior to analysis. All data were analysed using the GLIMMIX procedure (SAS® 2004, 2005) followed by Tukey's Honest Significant Difference multiple comparison test (Ramsey and Schafer 1997). Bartlett's test was used to assess the homogeneity of error variances. Because pollen availability can influence yield (Uribelarrea et al. 2002; Westgate et al. 2003), in yield analyses average days to anthesis was used as a covariate. Average days to anthesis values were calculated from 2 to 5 years of data collected from nurseries in North Carolina and Florida. Some experimental inbred lines had poor germination and ear development, thus, if plants did not germinate, yield data were reported as missing values. If plants germinated but did not produce ears with grain, yield was considered zero. Four lines had extremely poor germination and/or ear development (SDG10, SDG11, SDG15, SDG19), and while mean yield and days to anthesis data were reported, these lines were excluded from statistical analyses of yield data.
Root damage ratings
Year did not significantly influence root damage ratings (Year, df1,65, F = 2.81, P = 0.10; Year × Line, df11,65, F = 1.65, P = 0.11), and error variances between years were homogeneous (P = 0.42), thus data from 2005 and 2006 were used in a combined analysis. Maize line had a significant impact on root damage ratings (df11,77, F = 4.64, P < 0.001). Maize lines SDG11 and SDG20 had the lowest mean root damage ratings, which were significantly lower than the susceptible, publicly available inbred B73, but not W64A (table 1). Maize lines SDG7 and SDG9 had the highest mean root damage ratings, but were only significantly different from SDG11 and SDG20.

Root fresh weight
Maize root system fresh weight was significantly lower in 2005 than 2006 (Year, df1,65, F = 313.06, P < 0.0001), which may be related to an overabundance of moisture during the early growing season. However, the interaction between year and maize line was not significant (Year × Line, df11,65, F = 1.23, P = 0.29), and error variances between years were homogeneous (P = 0.19), thus data from 2005 and 2006 were combined for analysis. While inbred lines SDG15 and SDG19 had the lowest mean root fresh weight, and SDG10 and SDG20 had the highest mean root fresh weight, maize line did not significantly impact root fresh weight (df11,77, F = 1.22, P = 0.29; table 1).
Maize yield
The majority of experimental inbreds had germination rates that were comparable to the two public inbreds, B73 and W64A (table 2). However, three experimental inbreds (SDG11, SDG10, SDG15) often had germination rates below 50%. In addition, when SDG15 and SDG19 germinated, plants often had poor ear development. In 2006, B73 lacked ears approximately 30% of the time. Regardless of year or infestation status, SDG15 and SDG19 had the lowest mean yield, which was below 20 g grain per plant. Poor agronomic performance of SDG15 and SDG19 is likely related to longer physiological maturation times (70–74 DTA; table 3), and thus poor pollination.

There was a significant effect of year on maize yield (Year, df1,87, F = 1.10, P = 0.30; Year × Line, df7,87, F = 2.76, P = 0.01; Year × Infestation, df1,87, F = 2.02, P = 0.16; Year × Line × Infestation, df7,87, F = 0.68, P = 0.69), and so data from each year were analysed separately. In 2005, maize line significantly influenced yield (tables 3 and 6), which was driven by low yields of SDG20, although Tukey's HSD post-hoc comparisons among lines were not significant. In 2005, the effects of rootworm infestation on yield were not consistent between maize lines, with three inbreds (SDG6, SDG9, SDG12) not exhibiting yield losses after rootworm infestation, thus resulting in a non-significant P-value for infestation effects. In 2005, infestation status did not impact the effect of maize line on yield, leading to a non-significant Line × Infestation interaction.

Similar to 2005, maize line had a significant impact on yield in 2006 (tables 3 and 6), with SDG20 having some of the lowest mean yields. In contrast to the previous year, infestation status had a significant negative impact on yield, even though two inbreds (SDG6 and SDG12) did not exhibit yield losses after infestation with rootworms. As in 2005, the Line × Infestation interaction was not significant.
Plant and primary ear node height
Plant height was significantly lower in 2005 than 2006 (Year, df1,89, F = 85.56, P < 0.0001), and although the interaction between year and maize line was not significant (Year × Line, df11,89, F = 1.01, P = 0.44), the interaction between all three variables was marginally significant (Year × Line × Infestation, df12,89, F = 1.74, P = 0.07), and thus data from 2005 and 2006 were analysed separately. Maize line significantly impacted plant height in both years (tables 4 and 6). In check plots, the two public inbreds used in the recurrent selection breeding program had the lowest (W64A) and highest (B73) mean plant heights, therefore it is not surprising that the experimental inbreds had a range of plant heights. In 2005, infestation with rootworm eggs had a negative impact on plant height, while in 2006 a significant impact of infestation was not observed.

Maize line had a significant impact on height of the primary ear node in both years (tables 5 and 6). Similar to plant height, infestation with rootworm eggs only had a negative impact on primary ear node height in 2005, and did not have a significant impact the following year.

Historically, the majority of maize germplasm exhibiting rootworm resistance has been in the form of tolerance (Wilson and Peters 1973; Owens et al. 1974; Branson 1986; Riedell and Evenson 1993; Prischmann et al. 2007), which means plants have larger root systems that can withstand herbivore damage (Painter 1951). Maize plants that are tolerant to rootworm damage can produce high grain yields despite having similar root damage ratings to susceptible plants (Branson et al. 1982), a characteristic that is related to root size and compensatory root growth (Branson 1986; Spike and Tollefson 1989; Riedell and Evenson 1993). However, root growth that occurs after rootworm damage can also negatively impact maize yield, especially when adequate moisture is present (Gray and Steffey 1998). Irrigating plants growing in hot, dry conditions can ameliorate yield losses due to rootworm damage (Riedell et al. 1992).
Although Assabgui et al. (1995) found that hydroxamic acids produced by maize roots are related to rootworm antibiosis, only a few studies have documented non-preference or antibiosis of maize lines to rootworms in the field (Branson et al. 1983; Hibbard et al. 1999), which is typically assessed using root damage ratings (Branson et al. 1981, 1983; Branson 1986). Non-preferred plants are not eaten or used for oviposition as frequently as preferred plants, while plants exhibiting antibiosis have negative effects on pest life history parameters or performance (Painter 1951).
In our study, experimental maize inbreds derived from Tripsacum dactyloides, a species resistant to corn rootworms (Branson 1971; Moellenbeck et al. 1995), had mean root damage ratings that ranged from 2.4 to 4.5. Of the Tripsacum-introgressed experimental maize inbreds, SDG11 and SDG20 consistently had some of the lowest mean root damage ratings, which were significantly lower than that of B73. This may indicate that these Tripsacum-introgressed lines are non-preferred by rootworms or have some measure of antibiosis. The root damage ratings of SDG11 and SDG20 were comparable to those of some experimental synthetic maize populations derived from cultivated maize tested in similar field trials, which also showed a range of susceptibility to rootworm damage (Prischmann et al. 2007).
Branson and Guss (1972) investigated the rootworm resistance properties of two sterile intergeneric F1 hybrids. The first hybrid was a cross between Z. mays (Sokota 250) and T. dactyloides, while the second was a cross between T. dactyloides and Z. mays (unknown variety). They compared the per cent of western corn rootworm larvae surviving to adulthood on each of the intergeneric hybrids versus a Z. mays hybrid. Larval survival was similar between the Z. mays × T. dactyloides hybrid (25%) and the Z. mays line (20%). In contrast, no larvae completed development on the T. dactyloides × Z. mays hybrid (0%). They concluded that rootworm resistance was inherited via the cytoplasm (i.e. the female parent), or that in the Z. mays × T. dactyloides hybrid the genes responsible for rootworm resistance were on the genome that was not transferred during crossing.
In our study, although all experimental lines had some root damage, SDG11 and SDG20 had root damage ratings below 2.5. SDG11 had T. dactyloides as the male parent in the bridging cross with Z. diploperennis. SDG20 was derived from a three-way cross in which two of the parents had T. dactyloides as the female parent. The experimental lines were derived from a recurrent selection breeding program (detailed in the methods) in which the lines were backcrossed to a corn female. Furthermore, four genes on four different linkage groups, which are derived from T. dactyloides, are involved in maize resistance to rootworms (Eubanks 2003, 2006). Although Eubanks (2003, 2006) screened mitochondrial genes in the molecular marker mapping experiments, the four genes associated with rootworm resistance are all nuclear genes. Therefore, our experimental evidence does not appear to support the hypothesis of Branson and Guss (1972) for cytoplasmic inheritance of rootworm resistance from T. dactyloides. The variability in root damage ratings among experimental inbreds in this study is likely due to differences in the number and identity of the four genes each line carries. There may be opportunities to increase levels of resistance to rootworms if the genes causing resistance in the Tripsacum-introgressed maize germplasm are different from those in the synthetic populations originating from cultivated maize, especially if experimental lines have high yield potential.
Grain yield is an important component of maize breeding programs, and in both years, mean yield of most experimental inbreds equalled or exceeded that of the two public inbreds, indicating that these experimental lines may have potential to be parents in breeding programs. However, lower root damage ratings did not necessarily translate into higher mean yields. After infestation, lines with the lowest root damage ratings had similar yields to those with the highest root damage ratings, and SDG20, which had consistently low root damage ratings, often had the lowest mean yield of lines used in analyses. This parallels results from Spike and Tollefson (1989), who found that root damage ratings were not consistent indicators of maize yield. Because seeds were not treated with fungicides, problems with plant germination in experimental inbreds may be due to mould, although most lines had germination and ear development rates similar to those of the public inbreds B73 and W64, and poor germination was not a factor in other field trials. Two lines, SDG15 and SDG19, had poor ear development and extremely low yield, which was likely because they matured later than the other lines (70–74 DTA), and were not successfully pollinated. Although DTA data were used as a covariate in yield analyses, due to the presence of pollen produced by buffer row plants the earliest maturing inbreds may have had a pollination advantage and therefore higher yields. However, the primary point of the study was to investigate effects of rootworm infestation on maize inbred performance, not to compare maize lines per se.
While the majority of lines had reduced yield after rootworm infestation, four lines (SDG6, SDG9, SDG10, and SDG12) did not exhibit yield losses after infestation with rootworms in one or both sample years, which is likely related to the stimulation of root growth and proliferation due to rootworm feeding (Riedell and Reese 1999), and indicates these lines may be tolerant to rootworm damage. SDG6 and SDG12 did not have yield loss in both years and their root damage ratings ranged from 3.1 to 3.5. This may be important for maize breeders to consider, as this level of root damage in these genetic backgrounds may not have any negative impact on grain yield.
Thus, although Tripsacum dactyloides is resistant to corn rootworms via non-preference and/or antibiosis (Branson 1971; Moellenbeck et al. 1995; Eubanks 2001), Tripsacum-introgressed maize inbreds varied from being moderately resistant (SDG11 and SDG20) to susceptible to rootworms, while others appeared to be tolerant (SDG6 and SDG12). However, because emergence of adult rootworms was not monitored, it is possible that inbreds with low root damage ratings did not possess non-preference or antibiosis attributes, but were a highly nutritious food source that enhanced larval development with little root damage (Moeser and Hibbard 2005). It is also unclear what the underlying mechanism is that contributed to yield increases in tolerant inbreds.
One limitation of this study is that experimental germplasm was only evaluated in one location. Relationships between root damage, root size, and maize yield is often variable, and can be affected by several factors, including soil moisture, growing year, tillage, and location (Riedell et al. 1991, 1992; Gray and Steffey 1998). Data from multiple environments is needed before the rootworm resistance and agronomic potential of these inbreds is fully known, in addition to evaluating the performance of promising inbreds in testcross combinations. SDG LLC is currently conducting additional field tests in North Carolina, Iowa, Indiana, and in winter nurseries in Florida and Chile to assess the combining ability and yield potential of hybrids developed from experimental and commercial inbreds.
Tripsacum-introgressed maize germplasm also has drought tolerance and the ability to withstand aluminium toxicity in acidic soils (Eubanks 2006). Maize lines with genes responsible for adaptations to adverse growing conditions, along with genes conferring resistance and tolerance to rootworms could be useful in developing improved maize hybrids. In summary, some of the experimental inbreds we evaluated showed potential for further development in breeding programs. Further testing is needed to fully evaluate the potential of Tripsacum introgression to develop resistant or tolerant maize hybrids for use in rootworm control programs, particularly as refuge partners for transgenic maize and non-GMO markets.

When the user click something in my App it activates the Menu, which pops up on screen. However this Menu also activates a transition, which I can't seem to turn off. So the screen does some weird sliding thing which looks really bad. I have set some global transitions, and this is the only place they are causing a problem.
Is there a way I can access the screen that the default menu pushes so I can set a new empty transition? Or is there any other way to control the transition without going back and turning off the global transitions and setting them for every individual page?

Until recently, the PopMatters Multimedia staff consisted entirely of male writers. As such, it was almost a matter of drawing straws to see who would get "stuck" with covering the various Nancy Drew titles pushed out by Her Interactive every nine months or so. From these assignments came an interesting trend, however—to a man, every single person assigned to write about a Nancy Drew game ended up enjoying it, citing it as one of the better adventure games currently being produced for the PC. The latest in the series is no different. In fact, it's an example of just how Her is putting the increasing budget they're getting for these games to good use; it's the best-looking Nancy Drew adventure to date, and yet it retains the unexpectedly complex puzzling of the previous games. Its target audience may be one made up of tween and young teen girls, but Her has proven over and over again that you don't need to be a member of that group to enjoy this game. The Haunting of Castle Malloy is as good a place in the series as any to begin discovering that for yourself.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
1- "He's a Man" The song starts off slowly and builds up as it goes on. Madonna pushes her vocal register, really digging for the low notes and making it all come off as sounding powerful and alluring. One of the best Madonna songs period.
2- "Now I'm Following You" Part I is a simple little song that has Madonna singing a duo with another male. It has a classic sound to it. Then Part II is the more upbeat version of it, sort of a remix shall we say. It has a funkier beat and sound clips mixed in from other songs and from her character's role in the movie. A nice song overall.
3- "Vogue" - It's her hit song, what else needs to be said?
4- "Something to Remember" A song that simply hinges on emotions. It has a piano background with a few other instruments now and then. Her voice is heavy and it's rather simplistic but that gives it it's strength. She sings a song of gratitude sort of to someone she once loved but lost for whatever reason. Madonna convinces you the listener that this is something that really could have happened.
5 - "Back in Business" Sounds rather big-band. This song's strength comes in its lyrics. Only the chorus part is loud and full of energy.Read more ›
Stephen Sondheim composed three of the songs, these being Sooner or later, More and What can you lose - a duet with Mandy Patinkin. Madonna's performances on these songs are impressive. Of Madonna's own songs, Hanky panky and Vogue were huge hits but the outstanding song is Something to remember, which later became the title track of a compilation of her ballads. He's a man and Back in business are also wonderful. I also enjoyed Cry baby but I can imagine that some people will not like this at all. Madonna did not write the two other original songs - I'm going bananas (a slightly sill but entertaining novelty song) and Now I'm following you parts 1 and 2 (a lot of fun but definitely not a novelty).
I had to play this album a few times before I really appreciated it, but I liked it more with each listen. Although this album is just for fun, Madonna's covers of the Sondheim songs suggest that she could record a serious jazz album if she ever wants to.
This is not like any of Madonna's other albums so some of her fans may not like it. At the same time, I'm not sure that it will win her any new fans. Nevertheless, this is a fascinating album that proves just how versatile Madonna really is.
Granted, anyone who hates show tunes will likely despise this, as will those who refuse to accept Madonna as anything but Queen of the Dance Floor, but "I'm Breathless" is much better than I remember it. While the low points are an embarassingly silly Carmen Miranda take-off called "I'm Going Bananas" and dull duet with Mandy Patinkin "What Can You Lose", there are some excellent numbers in the steamy opener "He's a Man"; 1940's Broadway-styled "More"; the sophisticated "Back in Business" employs the same airy vocals and finger-snaps Madonna would put to good use on her upcoming cover of "Fever"; she takes us from swing to New-Jack Swing in "Now I'm Following You". The needlessly controversial ode to spanking "Hanky Panky" is harmless fun; and the role-call of silver-screen legends over the nimble house beats of "Vogue" remains to me the pinnacle of her illustrious career.
He's a Man 5/5
Sooner or Later 4/5
Hanky Panky 5/5
I'm Going Bananas 1/5
Cry Baby 4/5
Something to Remember 4/5
Back In Business 5/5
More 4/5
What Can You Lose 1/5
Now I'm Following You 4/5

If you dismissed this album in the '90s, it's definitely worth revisiting through grown-up ears. FOUR STARS.

A lesson in taking requests.
Whatever you want to say about Katy Perry, the fact remains: "Dark Horse" is perfect driving music—as a pair of lip-synching cops can testify. But does anyone enjoy it more than this baby?
Um, clearly not. Watch as Juicy J's intro puts an immediate end to her notes of distress and sullen squirming, a sure-fire tantrum transformed into pure sonic bliss. Raise that roof, kid.
Crisis averted, at least for a moment—we'd hate to see what happens when the song is over.

I shake 2 scoops with COLD milk and water and enjoy =) this is very important to use cold liquids, this is tastier and refreshing. I replace my breakfast, sometimes lunch or dinner, just once a day. Slimming a bit in 1 week time. Ive been taking chocolate one and now ordered vanilla so after 2 weeks i shall update my review. Смешиваю 2 мерные ложки с ХОЛОДНЫМ молоком или водой и наслаждаюсь. Очень важно использовать именно холодные жидкости. так вкуснее и освежает. Заменяю завтрак, иногда обед или ужин, всего раз в день. Замечаю, что вес пошел вниз немного за одну неделю. Я пила шоколадный и сейчас заказала ванильный, так что через 2 недели обновлю отзыв.
Excellent Taste

It tastes great and keeps me full. I do not mind drinking this everyday. The chocolate flavor tastes great too. I purchased both and will repurchase again if I need another round of diet.

It was mine first meal replacment that i bought, so i can't comapre. It's eatable overall has ok flavor. One portiot doesnt last for long i felt hungry less than in hour.
Great taste! Great for everday use!
Posted by 5760238356732310255 on Apr 22, 2014
I don't know why but I am one of those people who are always so busy in the morning. I mix the powder with some almond or coconut milk (and extra protein powder) and I feel pretty full in the morning. It's easy to use and it taste great. I should have bought a chocolate one too because I have been doing this for a while and now I am sort of getting sick of the flavor. This has nothing to do with the meal replacement. ^^;;
Almost Perfect
Posted by JustSarah on Oct 16, 2014
I quite like this powder, however if it isn't mixed with other things (in a smoothie, in oatmeal, etc.) I find the artificial flavoring a little off-putting. Still one of the best I've found through iherb, in my opinion.
Great but Chocolate is better
Posted by 5701791332756804771 on Dec 24, 2014
I tried both of them (Vanilla, Chocolate). This so too sweet for me (even I like sweet things) But other than that great.

The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary ClintonWhen Hillary Clinton spoke of "a vast right-wing conspiracy" determined to bring down the president, many people dismissed the idea.

Mitt Romney
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives to his election night rally, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Boston. President Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
David Goldman, Associated Press
Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. He was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.
Raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, by his parents Lenore and George W. Romney, Mitt Romney spent two and a half years in France as a Mormon missionary starting in 1966. He married Ann Davies in 1969, with whom he has had five children.
By 1971, Romney had participated in the political campaigns of both his parents. In that year, he earned a Bachelor of Arts at Brigham Young and in 1975, a joint Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration at Harvard.
Romney then entered the management consulting industry and in 1977 he secured a position at Bain & Company. Later serving as its chief executive officer, he helped lead the company out of financial crisis.
In 1984, he cofounded and led the spin-off company Bain Capital, a highly profitable private equity investment firm that became one of the largest of its kind in the nation. His considerable net worth, estimated in 2012 at $190250 million, helped finance his prior political campaigns.

Why is it that customers are seemingly always eager to believe that presenting a few mockup online screens means that the application is just a few tweaks away from being shipped?
Ok, I realise the answer lies in the fact that they don't understand the work that has to go on behind the screens to actually provide the necessary functionality - I can understand that, and full accept that it's crucial that we ensure they are realistic about project timelines.
My question is...
What are the most effective techniques you've successfully utilised to best manage customer expectations at the early prototype/demo stage? (apart from banning the marketing folk from the room ;-))

Lateral root (LR) formation, the production of new roots from parent roots, is a hormone- and environmentally-regulated developmental process in higher plants. Physiological and genetic studies using Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species have revealed the roles of several plant hormones in LR formation, particularly the role of auxin in LR initiation and primordium development, resulting in much progress toward understanding the mechanisms of auxin-mediated LR formation. However, hormone interactions during LR formation have been relatively underexamined. Recent studies have shown that the plant hormones, cytokinin and abscisic acid negatively regulate LR formation whereas brassinosteroids positively regulate LR formation. On the other hand, ethylene has positive and negative roles during LR formation. This review summarizes recent findings on hormone-regulated LR formation in higher plants, focusing on auxin as a trigger and on the other hormones in LR formation, and discusses the possible interactions among plant hormones in this developmental process.
