This report summarizes the yield response of rotation corn to fertilizer nitrogen (N) rate in field-scale trials conducted around the state of Indiana since 2006. These results are applicable to situations that implement efficient methods and timings of N fertilizer application. The average Agronomic Optimum N Rate (AONR) for 37 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in westcentral, southwest, and southcentral Indiana was approximately 182 lbs N / ac. The AONR for 33 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in northwest, northcentral, and southeast Indiana was approximately 194 lbs N / ac. The AONR for 54 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in medium- and fine-textured soils in northeast, eastcentral, and central Indiana was approximately 217 lbs N / ac. The average AONR for 10 rotation corn trials around Indiana conducted on non-irrigated sandy soils was 184 lbs N / ac. At the five Purdue locations where we conducted paired trials of corn/soy and corn following corn (corn/corn) in 2007-2010, the average AONR for corn/corn was 44 lbs greater than for corn/soy while average corn/corn yields were 18 bu/ac less than the corn/soy yields.
Economic Optimum N Rates (EONR) for various combinations of N cost and grain price are listed in Tables 1-3 for regions of the state. If you want to determine EONR for other N and grain prices, use the on-line N calculator for Indiana at this web site: http://extension.agron.iastate.edu/soilfertility/nrate.aspx.
itrogen fertilizer costs continue to be one of the most expensive variable production costs for corn. Applying "more than enough N" is no longer cheap "insurance" as it once was many years ago. Applying "more than enough N" is also not environmentally friendly. High N fertilizer costs and environmental impacts should encourage growers to critically evaluate their N fertility program, including application rate, fertilizer material, and timing.
Nitrogen rate recommendations for a given field were traditionally linked to its historical yield levels (Camberato, 2012). For corn/soybean, the traditional rule of thumb was an N rate equal to about 1 lb of N per bushel of expected yield. For corn following either corn or wheat, the recommendation was equal to about 1.2 lbs. of N per bushel.
These rules of thumb implied there was a straight-line relationship between yield and N rate; such that the more N you apply, the more grain you harvest. In reality, the relationship is curvilinear; meaning that the first pounds of applied N typically return the greatest number of bushels and the last pounds of applied N typically return the fewest number of bushels (figure to right). At some level of N, grain yield stops increasing with more N. Consequently, applying more N than the crop requires is dollar wasteful and environmentally distasteful.
Throughout the Midwest, most land-grant universities have moved away from yield-based N rate recommendations toward data-driven recommendations that are sensitive to N and grain prices (Sawyer et al., 2006). This approach to N rate recommendations links documented yield responses to N with the relative economics of grain price and N cost.
A couple of new terms or acronyms have developed from this approach. The term "Agronomic Optimum N Rate" or AONR defines the N rate that will produce maximum grain yield, regardless of cost. The term "Economic Optimum N Rate" or EONR defines the N rate that will result in the maximum dollar return to N. The EONR is usually less than the AONR, will usually decrease as N prices increase, will usually increase as grain prices increase, or may remain the same if the ratio between nitrogen cost and grain price (N:G) remains the same.
The "new" approach requires yield data from numerous field trials documenting corn yield responses to N fertilizer rates across a range of growing conditions. We began our current N rate trials in 2006. To date, 214 field-scale trials have been conducted around the state. About 74% of them have been with rotation corn and the rest primarily continuous corn. About 60% of the trials have been conducted on farmers' fields and the remainder has been trials at Purdue research centers around the state .
The N rate treatments have ranged from nothing but starter N to as much as 286 lbs/ac applied N. Most of the trials used sidedress liquid 28% UAN simply to facilitate trial logistics. Similar results would be expected from late pre-plant or sidedress anhydrous, but not necessarily from early pre-plant anhydrous or early pre-plant 28% or fall anhydrous. Most of the trials were conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils: silt loams, silty clay loams, and the like. All of the trials have been field-scale; meaning that the individual N rate "plots" are usually field length by some multiple of the combine header width. Most of the trials have been harvested with the aid of GPS-enabled yield monitors.
Regional and Soil Differences for Optimum N Rate
Nitrogen used by the corn crop originates from soil organic matter and crop residues as well as from applied fertilizer. Some soils provide as little as 25% of the crop N requirement, the remainder coming from fertilizer N. Other soils provide in excess of 50% of the crop N demand, with a lesser amount needed from applied N. The N supply and N loss potential of a soil are related to soil properties and, of course, soils vary geographically around the state. In general, soils with higher organic matter and better drainage provide more N to the crop and retain more fertilizer N than lower organic matter, more poorly drained soils. As we conduct more and more trials, we are identifying regional differences in AONR that make sense as we consider the soils in those regions. It is important to note that most of our trials employed efficient fertilizer application methods and timings. Less efficient N management would likely require higher fertilizer N rates in response to the greater risk of N loss.
For now, we have grouped the N guidelines according to Indiana Crop Reporting Districts (Fig. 1). The average Agronomic Optimum N Rate (AONR) for 37 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in westcentral, southwest, and southcentral Indiana was approximately 182 lbs N / ac (Fig. 2). The AONR for 33 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in northwest, northcentral, and southeast Indiana was approximately 194 lbs N / ac. The AONR for 54 trials conducted on medium- and fine-textured soils in northeast, eastcentral, and central Indiana was approximately 217 lbs N / ac. The average AONR for 10 rotation corn trials around Indiana conducted on non-irrigated sandy soils was 184 lbs N / ac. We do not have enough field trials on irrigated sandy soils to provide any guidelines. The EONR is less than the AONR, based on the relative cost of N and value of grain. Economically optimum N rates can be found in Tables 1 - 3.
More field research is needed in several areas of Indiana and on sandy soils to determine whether other regional and soil specific recommendations are warranted. Please consider collaborating with us in conducting on-farm research N rate trials.
More Discussion on N Management
Although we report a single AONR for a region, specific AONR values often vary from field to field and from year to year for a single field. For example, the average AONR for rotation corn at our research site near West Lafayette is 184 lbs N / ac, but the AONR for individual years (2006 - 2012) has ranged from 130 to 221 lbs N / ac. This variation in optimum N rate is not particularly surprising since we've always known the difficulty of predicting soil N supply, fertilizer N loss, and growing season weather. Weather influences both soil N supply and fertilizer N efficiency. Crop health, N uptake, and N use efficiency are also weather- and soil-dependent.
Soil or fertilizer N lost to leaching, denitrification, or volatilization is N no longer available to the plant (Nielsen, 2006). The most effective N application method and timing for minimizing N loss is to inject N prior to the beginning of rapid crop N uptake at roughly growth stage V6 (six leaves with visible leaf collars, approximately 18 inches tall). If making fall or early-spring applications, anhydrous ammonia is the least risky of the N sources because it is the slowest to convert to the nitrate form that is susceptible to leaching or denitrification losses. Urea-containing fertilizers should be incorporated to eliminate volatilization losses or a urease inhibitor can be used to delay the initial conversion of urea to ammonia (reducing the risk of volatilization loss). Nitrification inhibitors can be used with anhydrous, urea, or liquid N to delay the conversion of ammonium to nitrate. NOTE: Practices such as fall-applied or early-spring applied N or surface-applied urea provide a larger "window of opportunity" for N loss and therefore would require higher N rates than our results would suggest to achieve optimum yield.
Even if you take steps to minimize the risk of N loss, predicting the optimum N rate for a particular field in a particular year remains a challenge. Several tools exist that may improve N management. These include: the Pre-Sidedress Nitrate Test (Brouder & Mengel, 2003b) which can be used to estimate soil N supply in manured fields or soils with very high organic matter content, a chlorophyll meter (Brouder & Mengel, 2003a) or active sensor in conjunction with a high-N reference strip which can be utilized during the growing season to evaluate crop N status, and the end-of-season stalk nitrate test (Brouder, 2003) which can serve as a "report card" to determine whether N was over- or under-applied.
The bottom line on N use in corn is that we're dealing with a biological system that interacts with everything under the sun, including the sun. We cannot accurately predict the weather. We cannot accurately predict soil N supply throughout the year. Yet, we cannot afford (financially or environmentally) to simply apply "more than enough" N. We can minimize the risk of fertilizer N loss by understanding the processes and matching N source with placement and timing. We can develop average N rate recommendations that will work in "average" years. We can attempt to fine-tune those recommendations with tests, models, optical sensors, or simply educated guesses.
We Are Looking for On-Farm Trial Cooperators
Our long-term objective is to develop more region- or soil-specific N rate guidelines. Conducting N rate trials on farmer's fields is the best way for us to expand our efforts and increase the database for making regional recommendations. The general protocol for such trials is to sidedress-apply strips of five or six N rates (for example: 70, 110, 150, 190, and 230 lbs N per acre), repeated at least three times across a field. Size of individual plots (a single N rate strip) can be length of field by some multiple of combine header width. If you use a variable rate controller that accepts prescription N rate files, we can create and provide a prescription file that essentially eliminates the logistics of implementing the replicated N rate treatments. Use of combine yield monitors is strongly encouraged primarily because they greatly reduce the harvesting logistics of such a trial.
The general protocol for our N rate trials can be downloaded from the Web at http://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/ofr/protocols/PurdueNTrialProtocol.pdf.
If you are interested in conducting on-farm N rate trials, contact Jim Camberato (765-496-9338 or firstname.lastname@example.com) or Bob Nielsen (765-494-4802 or email@example.com). We will work with you to come up with the best compromise between our desires for statistical soundness and your desire for logistical simplicity.

Hey everyone. Today I'm gonna show you how to get this cute glitter you look for homecoming. So if you like what you see, just keep watching. The first thing you wanna do is apply a creamy eyeshadow base just all over your lid and you don't have to take it up to your brow bone because we're gonna leave that fairly nude and it's just gonna be your own skin tone. So, once you have that on, you're gonna take a light pink color and we're just gonna apply that on the lid and into the crease just a little bit. This will help the base stay in place and help prevent creasing even more. Okay, now I'm just gonna take a smaller fluffy brush and a rosy brown color and I'm just gonna apply that to the crease area starting in the corner and slowly working in circles and then dragging it into the crease. This will give your eyes more definition and that will make them stand out just a little more. Okay, so once you've done that, we're just gonna take a darker brown and pop that just in the outer corner and then dusting a little bit in the crease, whatever you have left on your brush. And now to add the glitter to your eyes, I'm just gonna take a little bit more of the cream base, if you don't want too much, just gonna take a tiny little dab of it on my brush and then pat it on top of the lightest color on your eyes and take a different brush to apply the glitter so you don't get too much glitter on your eye shadow brushes. And then tap it on top of where you applied the cream base. Now, I'm just going to apply false eyelashes. False eyelashes are always optional but I think they add a really nice pop to your whole look. So this is how the eyeliner and the eyelashes look together and the last thing you wanna do is just slightly brush a little bit of mascara on your upper lashes and your lower lashes. So here's the finish look and you should be homecoming ready and it's a very simple and easy to do and I hope you guys liked it. Don't forget to check out seventeen.com for more beauty smarty tips.

Lockport's Corwin pharmacy reopens after being raided by feds
BY BRIAN STANLEY email@example.com December 11, 2012 2:24PM
A sign on the door of Corwin pharmacy in Lockport says the business is closed. | Brian Stanley ~ Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 13, 2013 6:20AM
A Lockport drugstore reopened Tuesday afternoon after being closed most of the day following a raid by federal agents.
Local police were told at 7 a.m. that the FBI and other federal authorities were raiding Corwin Pharmacy, 944 E. 9th St.
FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde confirmed agents had closed the business as part of " an ongoing criminal investigation," but would not comment further.
Throughout the morning people approached the locked doors to ask about picking up prescriptions and were told the business would reopen in the afternoon. The pharmacy reopened around 4 p.m. but employees did not comment on the shutdown.

Do You Bring a Hostess Gift to Thanksgiving?
Since I won't be traveling home for Thanksgiving this year, a friend's family has generously invited me to spend it with them. My mother raised me better than to ever show up empty handed to a gathering, but I'm a little bit stumped on Thanksgiving.
It's not technically a potluck, since my only contribution will be pies. (I'll be making the Gingery Apple Crumb Pie and the Bourbon and Orange Pecan Pie from our November 2009 issue.) And I will of course bring a bottle or two of wine. But I need your advice on whether or not I should be bringing a traditional hostess gift.
What do you think? Given my situation, should I bring something extra for the couple who's hosting? And do you have any Thanksgiving etiquette questions we can tackle as a group?

Recent Ericeira Reviews
an excellent vacation property
When we arrived at the villa, Paolo, the owner and his wife and baby were waiting for us. The villa was beautiful, modern, spacious and perfectly described in the listing. We were grandparents, parents and two young boys. It was ideal. the main floor was a generous great room with a beautiful modern kitchen and looking out to a pool, new spa (!) and grassy play area for the kids. We had picnic lunches out on the lawn and several evenings, we cooked in and had dinner had the lovely dining table. Everything was provided that one would require in the kitchen. The upstairs had a master bedroom suite with very large bath and a twin bed room sharing bath with another master bedroom. It was ideal for us. There was a 4th bedroom downstairs with game players, etc. The kids used it as their play room. Each morning, we walked up the hill to a cute coffee shop. In same little "strip center" there was a small market and a beauty salon. We used both. Nearby - a 10 minute car ride, is beach town Ericeira and lovely village, Mafra. 30 minutes away is Sintra - a gorgeous historical town. This was my 3rd homeaway rental and without question, the best. Paolo is a great host - one night, he connected us with a chef who cooked (and taught) and stayed for dinner. Paolo checked in with us frequently, to make sure we had what we needed. It was a perfect vacation spot.

Announcing the Second Novel in the Identity Trilogy by Mel Odom |
The Identity Trilogy | Published 12 September 2012 |
Whatever Simpkins had been about to say was forever lost in the explosion that erupted in the tunnel and briefly filled the space with thunder and flames and flying debris. Almost as soon as the explosion raced down the tunnel, it was sucked back through the five meter crater that opened up in the roof. The sudden suction created by the vacuum present on the lunar surface reversed the flames, pulling them backward and up through the ceiling. The flames spread thin and winked out as air evacuated from the tun- nel. Some of the heavier debris couldn't break free of even the microgravity and remained buffeted by the wind.
Alarm klaxons rang throughout the tunnel and on the tube platform. At the same time, the tube shut down as sensors along the tunnel detected the size and scope of the breach. A transplas wall dropped down from the ceiling and locked into the docking groove at the front of the platform at the same time I was pulling Hondo to safety. He'd gotten caught in the vacuum and would have been in the way of the descending emergency wall if I hadn't moved him.
As the wall locked into place, Hondo nodded at me gratefully. "Thanks." His voice was weak in the thin air his lungs were striving to suck in.
"Just part of the service."

Quoted from Lola if taking magnesium for muscle relaxation, it is best to take it away from food (absorb it faster) and away from calcium because they compete with each other. If taking magnesium along with calcium for bone health, take with food (because the calcium is hard for the body to absorb).
Quoted from Lola this is something you ll find interestinghttp://www.dadamo.com/knowbase/PATHbase/depict.cgi?91concerning the sleep patterns or lack thereof....

Cardiff Students Hold First SIAM Chapter Day
April 1, 2013
Student poster presenters and guest lecturers at the First Annual SIAM Chapter Day at Cardiff University, UK: Front row, from left: Chris Rowlatt, Tom Croft, Darong Jin, Chang-Kye Lee, Mike Walters, Daniel Alves Paladim, and Danas Sutula; back row, from left: Hadrien Courtecuisse, Piotr Kusmierczyk, Lewis Pryce, Olivier Goury, Matthew Gilbert, Alain Goriely, Ross McKenzie, Nick Higham, Mary Aprahamian, Sam Relton, and Simon Cox.
The formation of the Cardiff SIAM Chapter came as a natural development in an on-going effort to strengthen the ties between mathematics and engineering at Cardiff; the chapter's goal is to contribute to the education of a new generation of scientists who can interact with each other in a significant and effective manner, from the beginning. Currently, the number of applied mathematicians is almost equal to that of engineering students in the chapter, and this is suitably reflected by the fact that the president and the vice-president are a mathematician and an engineer, respectively.
The programme included guest lectures by Nick Higham (University of Manchester), Alain Goriely (University of Oxford), Simon Cox (Aberystwyth University), and Matthew Gilbert (University of Sheffield), and poster presentations by doctoral students from Cardiff University and their guests from the Universities of Manchester, Aberystwyth, and Swansea.
Nick Higham's discussion of the accuracy and stability of numerical algorithms, rich in examples from everyday life, was complemented by posters by research students providing further technical details. Alain Goriely explored the paradigm of chirality in mechanical biology, showing how many important biological systems, such as bio-gels, DNA, and plant stems, exhibit counterintuitive phenomena that challenge our understanding of fundamental concepts in mechanics and material modeling. Simon Cox talked about the underlying bubble-scale mechanisms in the cellular structure of liquid foams and the emerging field of discrete microfluidics, wherein foams are pushed through narrow channels. This work has found many industrial applications, from oil extraction to food and cosmetic products, although more accurate numerical algorithms are needed to predict the correct mechanical behaviour required for industrial processes. Matthew Gilbert described the so-called layout optimization technique, as applied to truss design problems and to the problem of identifying the critical layout of slip-line discontinuities in a solid body at the point of collapse; the technique employs numerical schemes for solving these and other large-scale mathematical programming problems. Slides for all the guest lectures can be downloaded from the event's official website: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/maths/research/researchgroups/applied/siam/siamday2013.html.
This one-day event might have seemed ambitious, not least because of an amber weather warning for southeastern Wales the preceding week-end. The aim was to give participants the opportunity to interact across areas, and the speakers and students had to work very hard to make their contributions accessible to a varied and demanding audience.
Everyone was up to the challenge, and the resulting event was thoroughly enjoyed by all involved.---Angela Mihai, Faculty Adviser, SIAM Student Chapter at Cardiff University.

For those of us who lawfully carry handguns and or knives for self defense the question arises what if deadly force is not needed at first or if at all in a self defense situation ?
What if there is no weapon displayed by the other party ?
What if there is no disparity of force ?
What if it is a dispute over a parking space or some other stupid issue and the other party just will not let it go and physically gets into your safe zone ?
What if they become physically combative ?
What are your alternatives ?
If you have H2H training this is definately advantages for you.
Police officers carry other less-lethal weapons so that they can deal with the majority of physical altercations that do not require deadly force.
Though you may not be a LEO some of the alternative less-lethal weapons that they carry may be used by the legally armed citizen if state and local laws allow.
Pepper spray is the first that comes to mind. Easy to carry and conceal and effective the majority of the time when a quality brand is carried and used properly.
The personal Taser is becoming more popular and is small enough to be concealed on the off side from your firearm.
Canes and other impact weapons are permissable in some areas but as with any weapon proper training should be obtained before carrying and using.
I bring this up because having an alternative and using it first before using deadly force if the situation allows coud save a lifetime of regret down the road.

About MSM Protein Technologies:
MSM is closely held drug discovery company based in Boston, MA. MSM is the leader in the display of multi-spanning membrane proteins for antibody drug discovery. The company applies its proprietary SIMPL (TM) platform and magnetic proteoliposome particles (MPLs) to display multi-spanners such as GPCRs in highly concentrated and purified form while retaining their native conformation and orientation thereby maximizing the probability of raising functional antibodies. MSM has demonstrated the ability to raise functional human antibodies against a number of GPCRs and other membrane proteins.
MSM was formed in 2005 on the basis of technology originally developed at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute by the company's founding scientist and subsequently licensed to MSM. Since then the Company has developed additional, novel technologies that provide greater power and sensitivity to the search for antibody drugs to multi-spanners.

About Membrane spanning proteins
A membrane spanning protein is an integral membrane protein that spans from the internal to the external surface of the biological membrane or lipid bilayer in which it is embedded. These proteins are expressed on a number of cell types, including on the surface of bacteria and viruses. Multi-spanning membrane proteins are proteins that span a membrane a number of times. They are the most important class of cell-surface targets for therapeutic intervention and represent the majority of the targets for drugs sold on today's market. Many well validated multi-spanning membrane proteins have not yet been successfully targeted with drugs. Still others may be best targeted with an antibody scaffold with superior results to small molecule drugs.
About G-protein Coupled Receptors
A G-protein is an intracellular membrane-associated protein, responsible for activating a signaling cascade that triggers intracellular events or alters the behavior of other target proteins. G-protein coupled receptors are cell surface receptors that are coupled to G-proteins. GPCRs comprise the biggest family of human protein targets for therapeutic drugs and one of the most difficult, accounting for roughly 25% of drug sales world wide.
About Ion channels and transporters
Ion channels are proteins forming a water-filled pore through a membrane through which ions can diffuse. Transporters are proteins that span a membrane that actively carry nutrients and ions across the membrane. Many small molecule drugs targeting ion channels lack the desirable level of target specificity due to a high degree of homogeneity within the pores formed by ion channels. Antibodies hold the promise of greater selectivity because they are more amino acid specific than small molecule drugs.

Latvia 1 - Russia 3 Round Robin RUSSIA SQUEAKS PAST LATVIA FOR THIRD WIN By Joe Fries | Box Score The Russians downed Latvia 3-1 in Kamloops Thursday night, but it was by no means the blowout that many
expected. The game featured an unsuccessful Russian penalty shot and some fine goaltending from Latvia's Ugis
Avotins, whose team was outshot 40-20. The 4,831 fans on hand made a valiant effort to spur the Latvians to
victory, but to no avail. |
PREVIEW: LATVIA - RUSSIA By Joe Fries Latvia: Winless so far, the Latvians need a victory over the Russians tonight to spare themselves a guaranteed date with the Relegation Round. And that will be tough. The Latvians dropped their first two games of the tournament, losing 5-1 to the Czechs and 7-4 to Slovakia. They had the day off yesterday and should be well-rested as they try to reverse their fortunes against a red-hot Team Russia tonight. The Latvians showed a glimmer of hope versus the Slovaks, scoring four goals, but will need to give it everything they've got to secure a victory over the high-flying Russians. Forward Elviss Zelubovskis has a pair of goals, while Martins Karsums and Kaspars Daugavins both have two helpers. Latvia's defencemen have been fairly ineffective thus far, relying on their goaltenders to get them out of jams. No solid word on who will start in goal tonight, but, after giving up five goals, Ugis Avotins, who started the team's first two games, was replaced by Kristaps Stigis halfway through the Slovakia game. Latvia's penalty killing has been good so far, ranked second overall in the tournament, but may struggle containing the top-ranked Russian power play. On paper, the Latvians appear to be overmatched against the Russians, but if they focus on the 60 minutes at hand, anything can happen. They may draw some inspiration from Latvia's victories at the senior level over Russia at the 2000 and 2004 IIHF World Championships. The fan favourites can surely count on a supportive Kamloops crowd tonight that will do everything it can to spur the Latvians to victory. Russia: Team Russia cancelled its morning skate today, electing to rest after coming off a 6-2 win over Slovakia in Kelowna on Wednesday night. The Russians have won both their Round Robin Game so far and will look to extend their winning streak versus the Latvians tonight. The Russian offence has spread the scoring around, with all but five players registering a point in their first two games. Alexei Emelin leads the Russians with five points, and Evgeni Malkin, with four, has looked head and shoulders above his competitors so far. Another Russian with four points, forward Nikolai Kulemin, was assessed a match penalty for fighting last night, and he will be suspended for today's game. On Friday, the IIHF Directorate will discuss whether Kulemin's suspension will be extended or lifted. The Russians have the best power play in the tournament so far, but they are also the third most penalized team, so they'll have to keep their tempers in check here. Goaltender Anton Khudobin of the Saskatoon Blades boasts the tournament's best save percentage, having allowed just three goals on 58 shots. On paper, the Russians should easily handle the Latvians tonight. But the Big Red Machine still needs to take its gritty, hard-working opponents seriously. Most World Junior tournaments feature an upset or two, and the hungry Latvians would love nothing more than to be the team that knocks the Russians down off their high horse. |

Sleeping Beauty
Su Pollard has to be one of the loudest, meanest bad fairies on the panto stage.
She's been honing her child-hating skills touring as Miss Hannigan in Annie and the young audience at an early matinee in Bournemouth lapped up the abuse she hurled from the stage, screeching their disapproval in response.
Ms Pollard is dressed in deepest pink with plenty of sparkly bits - indeed, much of the production seems to be pink and sparkly and generally gorgeous to look at in terms of set and costume.
Which is just as well as it's decidedly patchy in plotting and script, with masses of padding and ticking of boxes on the set pieces.
It says much that the show's greatest asset is its chorus of quick-changing villagers and village children and their lively dance routines choreographed by Joanne Day.
Colin Baker, recently emerged from the celebrity jungle, is little more than a token presence as Nanny Nelly and Asa Elliott makes his prince so smug and self-satisfied that you almost feel sorry for Sleeping Beauty (a sweet-voiced Jenna Moore).
Director Chris Jarvis also plays Happy Harry and is essentially the motor that keeps this panto on the road, oozing energy and instantly connecting with his audience.
Other pluses include Kate Weston's flying Fairy Sparkle, as elegant aloft as she is on stage, and a cleverly worked sequence when Beauty's prince has to fight a fiery dragon.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Grobler, Gert Cornelius URN etd-03292006-123623 Document Title The characterisation of aspects related to the single stranded RNA binding ability of African horsesickness virus nonstructural protein NS2 Degree MSc (Genetics) Department Genetics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr V Van Staden Committee Chair Prof H Huismans Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- African horse sickness virus genetics
Date 2001-04-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract African horsesickness virus (AHSV) is a member of the Orbivirus genus and part of the family Reoviridae. It is a double stranded RNA virus with ten genome segments that encode seven structural and four nonstructural proteins. AHSV nonstructural protein NS2, encoded by segment eight, is a single stranded RNA (ssRNA) binding protein. The formation of viral inclusion bodies (VIBs) as well as the selection and condensation of the ten different virus genome segments during encapsidation, are proposed functions of NS2. This study investigates the binding ability of NS2 to ssRNA by looking at the protein structure, as well as its affinity for virus specific mRNAs. NS2 has an α-helix rich C-terminal region and α-helixes are known to be involved in ssRNA binding. BTV NS2 has an α-helix content of 69% and AHSV NS2 an α-helix content of 47%. AHSV NS2 has a lower binding affinity for ssRNA than bluetongue virus (BTV) NS2. There thus seems to be a correlation between the α-helix content of different NS2 proteins and their ssRNA affinity. In order to determine if the difference between the ability of AHSV NS2 and BTV NS2 to bind nonspecifically to poly(U)Agarose can be ascribed to differences in the α-helix rich C-terminal of NS2, a chimeric NS2 protein was constructed that contained the α-helix rich C-terminal of BTV NS2 and the N-terminal of AHSV NS2. The binding affinity of the chimeric NS2 to poly(U)Agarose was compared to that of AHSV NS2 and BTV NS2 and it was found that it correlated well with that of AHSV NS2. The α-helixes therefore do not seem to play a major role in ssRNA binding. The binding affinity of NS2 rather seems to be determined by the N-terminal of the protein. In order to investigate the specific affinity of AHSV NS2 for AHSV mRNAs, it was necessary to obtain mRNA transcripts with terminal ends identical to AHSV mRNAs. The AHSV genes were cloned into a transcription vector with an internal ribozyme. The 3' ends of the transcripts were generated by autolytic cleavage mediated by the ribozyme immediately downstream of the viral insert. The vector's promoter was constructed in such a way that the 5' ends of the genes were inserted at the plus one position for transcription. Full-length mRNA transcripts of four AHSV genes were obtained, the genes encoding NS2, NS3, VP6 and VP7. mRNA transcripts of NS3 and VP7 genes, lacking three to five terminal nucleotides at either the 5' or 3' ends, were also obtained. A nonspecific mRNA control was derived from an AHSV gene cloned in the wrong transcriptional orientation. Preliminary binding assays showed that NS2 has at least a nonspecific affinity for all these mRNAs. The fluctuation in the results also suggests that mRNA concentration may playa role in protein/mRNA interactions. We suggest that NS2 may play a role in encapsidation by binding nonspecifically to all the mRNAs in the infected cell and thus presenting it at the VIBs for selection and encapsidation.

Cheapest Places to Retire in the U.S. in 2012.
Fri, Jan 20, 2012
In my capacity as a CPA, Certified Financial Planner and tax strategist I am often called upon to assist my clients in making the transition from worker to retiree. With the near economic collapse of 2008 the question I have been repeatedly asked is:
"Where are the cheapest places to retire in the U.S.?"
The underlying motivation for asking this question was the loss in retirement assets that resulted from The Great Recession and a fear that many of my retirement clients shared…can they retire with the assets or income they have or expect to have in retirement?
In 2009 I set out to answer that very question. I analyzed over 3,020 select cities, towns and communities across the United States for ten key retirement factors and applied a proprietary scoring formula to each factor to determine which communities ranked highest as the best of the cheapest places to retire in the U.S. For each city, town or location we focused on the following ten key retirement factors:
1) Lowest Housing Costs
2) Lowest Property Tax
3) Lowest Sales Tax
4) Best Climate
5) Lowest Crime Rate
6) Lowest Income Tax
7) Closest to Major or Regional Metropolitan Areas
8) Closest to Hospitals
9) Closest to Airports
10) Closest to Beaches or Coastlines
Deciding where to retire may very well be one of the most important decisions you make as you approach retirement. Use this book as a tool in helping you find your ideal, affordable retirement community.
To purchase a copy of the book go to: www.richhabits.net
Below is a sampling of a few of the very affordable communities highlighted in my book.
When you think of Mississippi you don't always think beaches. But there is a small slice of Mississippi heaven on the Gulf Coast that makes you re-think everything about the state. Situated just over 10 miles to the west of Biloxi is the town of Gulfport, just 3 miles from Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport and a short walk to many Gulf Coast beaches. In an hour's drive east you can find yourself in the heart of Mobile, Alabama and Mobile Bay.
Here you'll find 6.7 miles of picturesque, white-sandy beaches lining the Gulf of Mexico. There are exciting, fun-filled indoor and outdoor activities, championship golf courses, taste-tantalizing cuisine, plentiful shopping, gambling casinos and must-see cultural attractions.
From its simple, humble beginnings as a lumber and port city, Gulfport has evolved into a diversified, expanding community.
Approximately 55% of its citizens are white, 35% are black and the balance is a blend of Hispanic and other races. Religious diversity is evident in Gulfport with a good mix of Southern Baptists (36%), Catholics (33%), Methodists (14%), and other religious affiliations balancing out the mix.
The Good
- Waterfront location
- Affordable housing for a coastal community
- Low property tax
- Close proximity to air transportation
The Bad
- Crime rate is 5.45%, slightly higher than our average of 3-4%
- Still rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina
Having visited Pensacola on one of my "research missions"… stop laughing, it was a real research mission… I can't help but express my unbridled bias toward this most unique coastal community.
Let me paint you a picture. You are sitting on your porch or deck. A few hundred feet to the west is the bay, with its own flat sandy beach; at the same distance to the east is the ocean, with its fluffy white sand and warm tropical ocean temperatures. You're hungry so you decide to bar-b-que on one of the many free grills that pepper the public beaches. You're thirsty and decide to take short stroll alongside the beach to Peg Leg Pete's Oyster Bar.
Mm mm, sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Well that's Pensacola. Pensacola is, hands down, this author's top pick of affordable retirement communities.
What you get in Pensacola at a very affordable price is simply hard to believe. Affordable housing, exceptional location on the panhandle of Florida, no income tax, scenic coastal views, warm waters, beaches on the bay and ocean, boating, fishing galore, great night life, excellent restaurants, free beach access, a quaint trolley and much more makes Pensacola a fabulous retirement retreat.
Take your boat and anchor it off Conch Island and explore the variety of shell life there. Or simply anchor your boat in the bay near the shore and sit down in the water with an aperitif before the dinner bell rings. Comb the bay sea floor for Sandollars of every size. It's all here and at a very affordable price.
A diversified community is what you'll find here with 65% white, 25% black with the balance a blend of many other races. Catholics, Southern Baptists, United Methodists, Assemblies of God and many other religious affiliations are well represented in Pensacola.
The Good
- Magnificent sandy beaches on both the ocean and the bay
- Unlimited water recreational activities
- Comfortable year-round climate
- No income tax
- Nearby Pensacola Airport
- Great nearby restaurants, bars and night life
The Bad
- Slightly higher than average crime rate at 5.45%
- Somewhat remote
For the first time Oregon makes the list. Florence is situated along the beautiful Siuslaw River on the west coast just 4 miles from Heceta Beach.
Here you can enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk, experience Historic Old Town Florence's truly unique shopping or dine in one of the many restaurants in the district. From chowder to gourmet pizza, crab encrusted halibut to the famous green donkey burrito; retirees can find a variety of foods to fit any budget. At the south end of Florence you will find 42 miles of magnificent, wind-shaped sand dunes, some rising 500 feet above sea level. These dunes represent the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America. If you're looking for adventure you'll find it at the dunes through their guided sand rail tours, self-guided ATV tours, sand boarding, hiking, camping, horseback riding and photography.
Florence is often billed as a river town, and why not with 17 lakes and rivers in and around the area. But the hidden gem is the Pacific Ocean which is located just over the dune. When it comes to enjoying the Ocean, the possibilities for adventure are truly endless. Walk along the surf in search of glass floats, shells, agates and driftwood. Hit the Oregon Coast Trail for hiking, biking or horseback riding. If you like fishing or boating, Florence has that too. There are over a dozen fresh water lakes, which serve anglers and boaters.
Florence is a predominantly white community with a robust diversity of religious affiliations making Florence truly a religious melting pot..
The Good
- Desirable location
- Low property tax
- No sales tax
- Unique outdoor activities
The Bad
- Higher than average precipitation (rainfall)
- Very high income tax
- Somewhat remote

Hey everyone,
I'm a self taught baker but I was wondering if there is a special ratio when coming up with your own flavors/ cake batter. With all the cupcake shops popping up I was wondering how they come up with there own flavors or do they just use recipes they found.
i was also thinking is there a basic batter I could make then adjust for flavors...
thank you!!

Ok, so i get back, my plants did look better than i expected, but as i figured there would be some kind of conflict, and their is, one of the plants that i orderd, a common VFT came in a black mass as the person who watched my plants said, and just planted it as i had instructed them to. I have all of my vft's in a single pot, figuring that VFT had a small root system it would be ok, could that be a problem? And now it looks as if alot of my VFT's traps are dying and most of them are just down to leaves, should i put fungicide on it, or just let them dye down and wait for winter to put the Fungicide on? or what should i do, im guessing its fungus cause its killing every thing in that pot, like i said the moss is turnning and i dont want my VFT to die, and would it be easyer to check out the plants if i had a picture or two posted? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it has fungus on now act quick, cut off infected sections if there is still good growth and use a good fungacide. A natural one is CINNAMON that can be sprinkled over the entire plant. I suggest you dont wait too long. Sunlight should help with it as well. Cheers Sheldon PS: pictures would be cool if possible |
Oh PS: No it should be no problem to have multiple VFT's in the same pot. If the fungus is also in the soil mix now you will either have to use a safe fungacide throuout or rather mabey dump the soil and replace it with fresh mix? If you decide to change the mix, you can use some safe sulfer based fungacide or you can try cinnamon powder. Just treat the entire plant, leaves roots and all. Then I would place them in the new fresh mix and give them good light. I dont know since you think it could be fungus if using something like SuperThrive could help the fungus as well, mabey others here will know. Cheers Sheldon |
If it were orchids (which it isn't), I would suggest letting it get as dry as possible without killing the VFT, plus increasing the light and air flow. Fungus likes damp, dark, stagnant conditions. I would also remove the fungus infected parts of the plant and cover the wounds with cinnamon. Can any of that apply to VFTs? |
- Posted by Nevermore44 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 17, 05 at 21:13
be careful of the cinnamon... some have claimed it to be a root inhibitor as well. So if you do use a fugicide... go with a chemical. Also know that many times when a VFT is uprooted... shipped and replanted... it will go into shock and loose a good amount of leaves. And then start growing again. Give it some time and gradual light... |
Nevermore44 thanx for that info, I was not aware of that. Ye I would definetly cut off all infected areas of the plant if that is possible, the VFT can be allowed to get dry, but not completly dry. It must always be moist, extra light and air though would be a big help I think in killing the fungus off with help of clean soil mix and a fungacide that you can treat the entire plant with. Nevermore I have unpotted mine many times without the shock problem, but I have always been soaking the root system in SuperThrive, so mabey they stuff does indeed work as Peter D' Amato suspects. Cheers Sheldon |

Im just gonna post all of my plants starting with my VFT, i have 2 dentes, 1 common (wich came in a tangled black mass ( i think the source of the problem) and one Red dragon. Where most of the fungus ( i think ) is http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/alaskaheadbanger/carnivourseplants014.jpg a good picture of most of the plants see if you can point out any thing im doing wrong. hotobucket.com/albums/y17/alaskaheadbanger/carnivourseplants013.jpg Hears my purple pitchers ( i have yet to put any plants out side so not much vivid color) And i cant rember what kind of plant this is could some one help me with identifying it cause i thougt i orderd a parrot pitcher? o well it still looks cool! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/alaskaheadbanger/carnivourseplants010.jpg |

That last one looks like another young purp to me. Hey sheldon... I have bought some and repotted just fine as well... but shipping might cause a bit more of shock then just repotting. Some are just weak. Try getting the media away from the crown of the plant where rot can get going. |
Ye the plants look ok, I dont see any form of fungus or rot on the actual plants, just that nasty black gunk around in the media. Does the peat mix smell weird at all? If you suspect the mix is full of fungus then you are going to need to flush the media with a fungacide. A bad smell from the peat could tell you alot. Do your plants get actual sunlight and are they hardened off or terrarium plants? Cheers Sheldon |
- Posted by Nevermore44 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 9:56
Also... my LFS turns black out in the sun as well... but I don't think that is fungus |
- Posted by akheadbanger z?? OH (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 10:28
Well i know its not a young purple cause thats how they came and they havent changed or grown any in the past 3 weeks, and i know my Red dragon one of the traps has a bit of black on it, and no none of the plants are any terrium plants, i cant notice any smell, and its new moss, could it be the moss is just dieing? if thats the case, the moss in my terrium looks fine, and im not sure at all what the problem is, and ive noticed the moss around the pitchers is getting lil brown stuff, and it gets sun thru a window, and it doesnt have a great circulation, and all of them are online orders, only had them for almost amonth. and as i said im sure the pitcher isnt a young purple pitcher. |
- Posted by Outsiders71 z6 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 11:08
LFS in my experience always turns a dark brownish green color and has a little stench to it. That's because it's breaking down. I prefer using New Zealand LFS with my plants now because of the stench from normal LFS. Plus NZ LFS looks a lot nicer. |
- Posted by Nevermore44 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 12:57
Again I would get the media out of the crowns of all your plants. If you are just using good ol' dried Long fibered Spag... it will turn black in the sun... again .. not mold. Which photos of yours has the mold/fungus in it? |
Ye Im wondering the same thing, the top layer looks a ugly black but the plants still look fine. Its normal for VFT's to get black leaves after they close enough or after a few months when the leaf starts to die. You can simply just clip it off. Im using both New Zealand Sphag moss and peat moss and have not had the black problem with mine growing outdoors in full UTAH sun. So what the guys are saying could very well be the case that it is infact the type of moss you have. Ok now, this person who was watching your plants, how much of a "green thumb" do they have?, as in have they any experience in planting anything let alone CP's? Just a thought Cheers Sheldon |
- Posted by akheadbanger z5/6 OH (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 14:28
well the person who was watching my plants had all the information i told them they did every thing i did, i told them what to do so, and this is what i have- New Zealand Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss. 100 Grams Compressed. This is dehydrated and very compressed sphagnum moss. Drop in a large bowl of water and it will expand to nearly 1 and a half gallons of supreme quality and very clean long fiber sphagnum moss. This is perfect for planting and top dressing for most all of the carnivorous plants that we sell. Its called ultra grow thats what it said, And i havent handle the plants in planting but i new how to plant them, take a butter knife turn it, put the roots in the hole and compress the soil so its stable, i had to fix the planting it wasnt the greatest, so yea, im hoping i have a better season next year!! And i didnt put the sphagmum moss at the bottom of the pots so theirs soil in the bottom tray. |
- Posted by Nevermore44 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 15:59
So there is no visible "fluffy" fungus or anything? To me it just seems like they are shocked a bit... give them some time and get the media off the crown and you are set. |
- Posted by akheadbanger z?? OH (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 18, 05 at 16:24
no i didnt i saw it start on one of the dead traps that i threw away! |
Hello, I have a gallon candy jar. It is built to sit tilted on the side, so the humidity doesnt just evaporate. It has a venus flytrap and 2 small sarracenia purpurea pitcher plants. It has dead sphagnum moss as a planting medium. For a while I did not cut away the dead pitcher plant leaves. Now, there is alot of white fuzziness in patches on the ground. They almost look like short hairs, and they don't have any kind of clumpy base. I clean it away with my hands, but it comes back stronger and is even on the venus flytrap! What should I do? Repotting is hard on the Pitcher plants, and takes alot of work. I can leave it in the yard tomorrow so the fungus will get lots of sun, perhaps killing it? Is there a light fungicide you recommend that is commonly sold at hardware stores? -Hal |

- Posted by mutant_hybrid (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 07 at 15:26
Hi rd2frndship, Yellow puffy growths sound like fungus or a type of mold to me. That stuff tends to avoid moss and grow on perlite and plants.

Here is what people are saying about the NWA:
FDA issued a final rule that affirms its regulations on record-keeping to be consistent with the expansion of FDAs access to records as required by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The amendments to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act made by FSMA allow the FDA access to records beyond those relating to specific suspect food articles if the agency reasonably believes that other food articles are likely to be affected in a similar manner. In addition, the FSMA amendments permit FDA to access records relating to articles of food for which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the article of food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. The expanded records-access authority is designed to improve FDAs ability to respond to and contain safety problems with the food supply for humans and animals. Click here for more

House passes $173M capital billBy JOHN DILLON
Vermont Public Radio | April 05,2013MONTPELIER The House unanimously approved a two-year capital construction bill Thursday that solidifies a commitment to rebuild the Waterbury state office complex devastated by Tropical Storm Irene.
The bill includes $173 million in spending, with close to $70 million set aside for Irene-related projects.
This is the second legislative session that lawmakers have crafted a two-year spending cycle for state construction projects.
And a top priority remains repairing or replacing buildings damaged by the floodwaters of Irene.
Springfield Democrat Alice Emmons is chairwoman of the House Institutions Committee. She said the legislation will improve the states infrastructure and provide needed employment for the construction trades. She said her committee scoured the capital budget to find money that had not yet been spent or was left over from earlier projects.
We have found $5.6 million, almost $5.7 million to put back into our state economy. Those dollars were lying fallow, she said. They were not being used. And now they will be used in our economy to employ our contractors, our builders, our electricians and our plumbers.
The $70 million in Irene projects includes replacing the flooded state hospital, rebuilding the Waterbury complex and new offices for state workers at the National Life building in Montpelier.
The total cost for the Waterbury offices is expected to be around $125 million. The 2014-15 spending plan sets aside $56 million for Waterbury, and lawmakers expect all but $6 million or so of the difference will come from insurance payments and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, said the Waterbury piece represents the states commitment to the town and the region.
The Waterbury complex is not just about bricks and mortar. Thats about keeping faith with the people of Waterbury, about returning workers to the town of Waterbury and thats important, he said.
But Rep. Paul Poirier, I-Barre, wanted assurances that the state could start work on the Waterbury piece if the FEMA money isnt sufficient to pay for the project.
Is there any language in here that specifically allows the Joint Fiscal Committee to increase the cost if we find out that the FEMA money or the bids and everything else comes in over budget? he asked. Is there anything in here that gives the Joint Fiscal Committee that authority?
Emmons told Poirier that the capital bill sets up a review process for when the Legislature is not in session.
She said the House and Senate Institutions Committee would meet if the projects cost rises by 10 percent or more, or if the design changes substantially.
And in that meeting (the committee would) make a determination, if the plan had been changed enough that we need to halt and we need to wait until the session started, or if it has not changed enough, that we can continue, she said. When it gets into your dollar amounts, we are very clear it is up to the Legislature to make that decision.
In an interview, Emmons expressed confidence that the FEMA funds would be available to rebuild the Waterbury complex.
FEMA came through for the state hospital. I have faith that the same will happen here, she said. We dont know the exact amount, but as I said, I just have faith, and we keep working through the process.
With little debate, the House voted 135-0 to approve the capital bill. It comes up later this month in the Senate.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The first Legislature in the country to pass an aid-in-dying law may revisit the... Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full StoryGroveman to head Full Story -

The Santa Barbara-based organization, Direct Relief is sending supplies to the Philippines to help people affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The organization held its largest emergency airlift in its 65-year history on Saturday. Direct Relief is sending 50 tons of medical supplies to people in the Philippines. The shipment has enough medicine to treat 250,000 people. They have already sent 10 tons of materials overseas since the typhoon hit two weeks ago. The nonprofit also gave Filipino organizations $150,000 in cash grants to support relief operations. For more information about how you can help, click here.

Tools for Sisterhood -> Program Ideas
Program Ideas
Community Health and Wellness Fair
Physicians, health care workers, wellness providers and social service professionals from the community were invited to present their specialty. There were tables all around the room, with a center stage for presentations. Vendors were there, presenting organic foods, massage, acupuncture, nutrition, yoga, fitness and chiropractic medicine. The free massages and cooking classes were a big hit. This was a great community-building event and can involve many in your temple community. There was also information on CPR, hospital resources, mental health and elder care resources. (Temple Isaiah, Lexington, MA) For further information, please contact Paulette Black, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chocolate Seder
This is different from a women's seder. This was adapted from existing chocolate seders found online. It was a family event and different attendees were called upon to read or sing. There was TONS of chocolate along with a dinner of salad and pastas to keep from going into sugar-shock. Songs were semi-traditional and very tongue-in-cheek. (North Country Reform Temple, Glen Cove, NY). For further information, please contact Alissa Woska at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Iuengliss. The name is damn near impossible to pronounce. Tom Metz, the up-and-coming electronic wunderkind who performs under the moniker, knows his handle causes fits. So there are no hard feelings if you butcher it.
"It doesn't matter how you pronounce it," he says. "I pronounce it I-win-gliss. I put it together in high school at some point, and I can't remember how. I just like the words. I think I was just screwing around with letters and I liked the way it sounded. But it doesn't really have a meaning. I guess it just represents the songs. Most people can't remember it or pronounce it, though. I think about changing it, but it's kind of too personal for me."
It was a few years before he put together his mouthful of a name that Metz started putting together his intricate digital compositions after an exposure to electronic auteur Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin, turned him on to the style.
"I started when I was thirteen," he recalls. "Me and a buddy just decided to start sequencing music on our own. We both got into Aphex Twin a whole bunch in junior high. That's kind of how I got started with it. It was when Come to Daddy came out. I remember seeing the "Come to Daddy" video, and I was super-pumped. I got the CD and I showed my buddy, and we just collected everything, anything we could get our hands on from him.
"I kind of liked techno, but I didn't really know where to get good electronic music," Metz continues. "Then I saw that video, and it was so wild. I was like, 'Man, I've got to check that out.' That album is so diverse — that album alone introduced me to so many different styles of music. It has eight songs or whatever, but every song is so different, they could all be albums on their own."
More than a decade later, Metz's adolescent electronic noodling has matured into the stately, gorgeous sounds and songs of Iuengliss. Talking to Metz, a slight, gangly guy with long hair and wire-rimmed glasses perched on an earnest face, it's easy to imagine the wide-eyed, youthful excitement he must have felt upon discovering the world of electronic music — a world that he's since made his own. Along the way, his interest took a brief dip into the rave scene, but he found that the mainstream of electronic dance music never quite matched up with his own, somewhat more esoteric tastes in the genre.
"In high school, I maybe went to five or six raves, with my dad not knowing about it and getting busted a lot for going," he says. "I wasn't doing it for the drugs; I was going to dance. But I kind of stopped. Really, the raves I want to go to are all in Europe. I never get to do that."
After moving to Denver for college, he eventually met up with former Astrophagus drummer Dave Kurtz while both were working for the now-defunct ManiaTV!. The two realized they shared similar tastes in music, and Iuengliss soon had its first real shows booked, opening for Astrophagus. But unlike many of his fellow bedroom producers, Metz had gotten a taste of the performance bug long before he made it onto a "real" stage.
"I played in junior high, little house parties and stuff," he explains. "We played at school, in junior high, me and my buddy Joel. We played in the courtyard or we'd play at the band events. Our teacher knew we made electronic music, so he was like, 'You guys can play after one of the concerts in front of everybody.' So we were like, 'Sweet!' We got this little slot where we got to do one song each in front of the whole school, all the families and stuff. It was funny, because it was all weird electronic music."
These days, playing live is becoming more and more a part of the Iuengliss repertoire. Whenever possible, Metz works with his friend Adam Singer, a digital artist who provides visual accompaniment in an effort to mitigate the inherent limitations of performing behind a machine. "I like it with the visuals better, because I think it's kind of boring to watch a dude and a laptop sometimes," Metz acknowledges. "The visuals are kind of fun because it makes it more fun to look at. I don't like the bright lights just glaring on me. Singer's style is perfect for the music, I think. He's got a trippy style. It works really well."
His list of all-time favorites and acknowledged influences reads something like a who's-who of the IDM scene: He cites Autechre, Aphex Twin and the entire Warp Records roster as his main sources of inspiration. What sets Metz apart from most of his influences, however — and gives his music a unique character — is his reliance on his own voice, frequently as the centerpiece of his songs.
"I've always just sung," he says. "I love singing, singing along to music. I think it adds something to the music. It makes it more personal to me to have my voice on it. I'm not always into music with vocals, but I think it works for some of these new songs — and I just like to do it; it just feels like what I should do."
