I love the comments from people asking if she was really dead that I got when I put this vid on YT.

Ok this is just random but it is a really gross sunflower seed which I was tricked into eating.

FEEL GOOD looking at THE FLOWER

Sunflower

This was a great week. We stumbled upon a sunflower field (42) acres of it! Here where we live you dont see that kinda thing but we enjoyed it. Our girls really enjoyed it.

I took old, unfinished art that had been around the house since 2005 and recycled it. Made a place for NEW ART....Time to move ahead....

a bee in my Garden, Beethoven and the meaning of everything.

At the rugby meeting Scooby Doo and his mate sunflower followed by the scooby classic reveal!

The birds are a challenge to photograph, especially when they're squabbling about who eats first keeps them away from the seeds and the cameras.

Sorry, bird, no peanut.

Another sound check.

This is a slightly hyperized version of Scott Joplin's "Sunflower Slow Drag" with a bit of barroom swing. There are a couple of dropouts and tiny errors, i'll make another,more   more... "official" version later for my music channel. I am still having troubles with the sound, although it is geting better. This one goes out to Tre'Nog and crazymml, i suspect both of you like this kind of music.

Ragtime *is* classical now, it's a hundred years old! Enjoy!  less

Saturday, August 1, 2009 I participated in an All-Day Art Sale with Karron Denaple and Mavis Stevens. It took place in Buford, Georgia. It was a fun day. LOTS OF HOT SUNSHINE...and SUNSCREEN WAS USED....

There are 46,000 job vacancies in Kansas, according to the state Department of Labor. And five of the top ten occupations the Sunflower State needs the most are in healthcare. According to the 2008 Kansas   more...Job Vacancy Survey, the estimated job vacancy rate was 3.5 percent for the year. Both skilled and unskilled workers were in demand. Education and health services, and trade, transportation and utilities industries had the highest statewide vacancies, accounting for 43 percent of all vacancies. The average wage offered for vacancies statewide is $11.23 to $13.13 per hour. Jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree generally paid more than twice those requiring a high school diploma or GED. Survey results came from 3,002 firms in the Kansas Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages Program, according to the labor department. . The downside of accepting one of these new positions? You would have to live in Kansas.  less

The baking of wheat bread depends on its gluten content. Wheat has three layers: the bran, the nutrient-rich germ and the enrosperm filled with starch and proteins. The important proteins in wheat are   more...glutens.


Those proteins are also found in rye, wheat, and barley. They is found in most types of cereals and in many types of bread. Not all foods from the grain family, however, contain gluten. Examples of grains that do not have gluten include wild rice, corn, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, quinoa [kinwa], teff, oats, soybeans, and sunflower seeds.

Gluten can be removed from wheat flour by rinsing bread dough [dou] and kneading /niding/ it until all of the starch is removed. Gluten helps make bread elastic and provides it with the chewy texture it has when eaten. For this reason, gluten that is removed from dough is sticky and feels much like chewing gum.

Gluten provides many additional important qualities to bread. For example, gluten keeps the gases that are released during fermentation in the dough, so the bread is able to rise before it is baked. In addition, gluten firms up when it is cooked and with the help of starch, helps ensure the bread maintains its proper shape.

Gluten also has an absorbent quality, which is why bread is capable of soaking up broth. Because of this feature, gluten is often used by those on a vegetarian diet as an imitation meat. On the downside, gluten is believed to be partly responsible for causing bread to become stale.

Between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of people in the United States suffer from a disease called celiac disease, which is an allergy to gluten. Individuals with celiac disease must eat foods that do not contain gluten in order to prevent illness.

Gluten intolerance is also called celiac disease and is an inherited condition that causes an extreme physical reaction when they ingest gluten from grains like wheat, barley and rice. The condition is not curable, and can become severe, damaging the small intestine and causing poor absorption of vitamins and minerals or malnutrition. Though it usually cannot be cured, gluten intolerance can be addressed by avoiding products which contain gluten. This is becoming easier to do with many low or gluten-free foods available, which make good substitutes for foods with gluten. Its a good thing that such foods have been marketed, since about one in 100 people may suffer from gluten intolerance.

The birds have landed on my friend's camera... and hat, head, coat and anything else that gets them closer to the seeds.

My nephew.
I love him to pieces.
