Australian tree fern
I have had this australian tree fern in my front yard for more than 10 years ,and have never had a problem with it.Then one day last week dh and i both noticed that all the fronds were brown and dead.I went out and cut them all off as i saw new shoots coming out.However those new shoots never unfurled and also now look all brown.
Also right next to it on a shepards hook i've always had a hummingbird feeder that's always been very active.We noticed that the hummers weren't coming to that either.So last night i took it down,gave it a good cleaning as i usually do and made new food and re-hung it.Still no hummers.
So now we have a tree fern that appears dead,a hummingbird feeder that is getting NO action.
We have not done anything different than we have done all the other years.So does anyone have an idea as to what is going on?? Why is the tree dying,and the birds not visiting the feeder.Any ideas???
Thanks so much.
PS here are a couple pictures.
It doesn't look dead, in my opinion. Mine always looks pretty rotten this time of year before sending out new fronds. The fronds on mine always appear brown before unfurling, as well, due to the "hairs" on the underside. When I water mine, I wet the trunk, rather than watering around the base. And when the fronds die, there is no mistaking it - droopy dark brown. I love the 3 trunks on yours!
As for the hummers, I haven't had any traffic to my feeder in about the last month. I saw one the other day, but I usually experience a lull around, and during, migration.
Those pictures are not from this year or even last year,sorry,should have told you that.here's some i just went out and took.
I cut all the dead fronds off as i usually do,and this is how it looks now.Those unfurled ones have been like that for at least a week now.
Also i'm in S.Cali so we've had a lot of rain,and since the rains have stopped it gets watered twice a week by the sprinkler system for 20 minutes at a time.
As for the hummers they have been keeping me busy re-filling that feeder every other day all winter long and right up until that tree fern did whatever it did.The fern seemed to die or almost,and the hummers stopped coming at the same time.It's weird,as i said it's never ever happened before in all the years i've had it.It's on the North side of my house,so only gets morning sun.
Also i've always had that spanish moss hanging on it as well.
Kathi-- Color me Baffled!!!
PS,i don't think it's totally dead as i still see some green,but it sure is taking it's time unfurling those fronds.
I lost all the fronds on one of mine at the end of January. It just started greening up a week ago.I hope that you have the same experience.
Even though I didn't get any days of frost, this last winter was cold and a lot of my tropicals went dormant for the first time since I planted them.
Scary stuff when you think everything has died.Come on spring!
I too have very little bird activity around my feeder. A few weeks ago I saw 5 at once. This is unusual. I figure they were migrating birds. After that, they were gone. I cleaned the feeder, and have seen only one since. I doubt there is a correlation.
We've had the same lawn guys for about 3 or 4 years now,and i don't think they've done anything different.Not sure though as i'm usually in the house when they are out there.My lawns also stay green year round,can't remember what kind of grass they told me it is.
I'll ask the head guy(my neighbor) about it though.
Once they were severly burned fossel-it was too late..and flushing in ground plants is not like a potted plant. That you remember all that happened after fertilizing makes me think that really was the cause.I dont think an Aussie tree fern has died from cold in your area since 1916!
And Kathi,the weed and feed might be it.Since not only is your lawn very green-IT'S PERFECT!..maybe the guys used some weed and feed before the warm season sprouts the weed seeds. It wasnt anything sprayed.Your Spanish moss is fine.
On the very positive side is-those great ferns are coming back,at least two are.The one in the middle hopefuly,just needs more time.
Oh Stanofh,you give me great hope.I'm still gonna talk with the yard guy tomorrow.They never spray anything ,that i do know,they use one of those whirly things that you turn the handle by hand and the granulated stuff.
But he does change guys quite often so maybe one of the newer ones did it not knowing exactly what he was doing.
He has one guy that has been with him for about 6 years that i know of,maybe i can ask if only he fertilizes my yard.Besides that he lives right next door,rents a room from my neighbor.Can't hurt to ask,right??
Thanks again
I talked to the owner of my lawn service this week about my tree fern.He assured me it's not from the fertilizer they use.He did show me where there are a lot of fine roots on the surface,and if you push on the tree it's kinda loose.He said both of these were problems and told me to add more soil all around it,and keep it watered in good and the soil will pack down,and to keep an eye on the roots as well.
I had seen those roots,but since they looked so fine i didn't think they mattered that much.Live and learn !!
My one and only palm tree has a lot of those fine roots as well.I don't really like the palm tree.But ds planted it there years ago when he used to take care of the yard.So i guess i better add another row or 2 of bricks around the palm and add more soil there as well.
Kathi, I was looking at the photos of your ailing tree fern. I have a thriving 2 year old TF that has never produced that mossy stuff that your's has. Could it be possible that the moss is parasitic, because it seems to be taking over as your fern declines. I'm assuming the hummingbirds nest in the moss. Hummingbirds are very shy and become easily threatened by anyone's presence. Perhaps they are vanishing because you are frequently checking on the condition of the tree fern. In addition, the lack of fronds makes the hummingbirds nest more visable to predators. My suggestion would be to remove the moss from the tree fern and plant another Hummingbird friendly plant (something with dense foliage)in the same area to give them an alternative home. It may take a while for the birds to begin nesting again, but it might save the tree fern. This is just a thought, but it makes sense to me. I hope this was helpful.
That tree fern didn't produce that moss.That is Spanish moss and i hung it there several years ago.That's still doing good,but i think i'm gonna have to move it to the backyard to another tree,because as much as i hate to admit it,i think my tree fern is totally gone!!! There is no sign of life on it anywhere ,even after we added more soil and mulch.It's gonna break my heart to take it out,and i don't know what i'll put in it's place,but i'm sure i'll find something.
I would continue to watch it for a week or so. There are two basic possibilities: damage to the central bud or damage to the roots. I'm guessing it's root failure based on the appearance of those droopy emerging croziers -- a classic symptom. It could be due to compacted soil, drought, pH problems or contact with weed killer. A tree fern planted that close to a home foundation is going to have a lot of lime leached into the root system. I would plant it out away from the house in a soil heavily enriched with compost and generously mulched.
FWIW, in the future don't remove old fronds before the replacement fronds have unfurled. It takes a lot of energy for the plant to pump out new fronds and that energy has to come from somewhere. Ideally, it will come from photosynthesis from the old fronds. If the old fronds have died and are unable to photosynthesize, the fern may still be able to absorb some nutrients from the dying fronds to form some new (though probably stunted) new fronds. If the fronds are entirely removed, then there is no energy input for the fern to unfurl the new fronds forming in the bud. It isn't likely that this is the reason for the plants' failure, but it's something to keep in mind for the future. Ugly as they may be, dying fronds should remain until at least three new croziers have unfurled.
I think the hummingbird issue is unrelated to the health of the tree ferns. I would also remove the Spanish Moss and put it on a tree or something. It looks unnatural on the tree ferns and spoils their natural beauty.
Thanks everyone,and a special thanks to Dick for all the info.The tree will probably stay for at least another week or two.I did tell DH we will probably have to take it out,but i also told him he can't buy a replacement until i can go with him,and that may not be for awhile yet.
I'm going into the hospital on Thursday for a total knee replacement,so won't be doing any yard work anytime soon.
I don't really care that much for palms,and whatever i put there will need to be something that doesn't block the faucet,or get too awfully big.So if you guys have any ideas post them here.I may not get to them right away,but i will eventually.
By the way the hummers are back as well!! But that's the longest they have been gone in years.
Well we left the tree up this long,and there is no sign of life on it,in fact i'm sure it's dead.I hobbled over to it with my walker the other day for a closer look and it looks like the trunks are drying up,they are sunken in,so i told DH to remove my spanish mosss to the backyard,and take the tree out.He's doing that now as i type.I'm really gonna miss that tree.Don't know what i'll replace it with yet.My knee is not strong enough yet to go hobbling thru the nurseries,so i may just have an empty spot for awhile.
Thanks to all who tried to help me save it!!
The knee is coming along well,it's been 3 weeks since surgery,i'm getting around with the aid of a walker,and have been having PT(physical therapy ) twice a week and i do exercises every day.Still on pain meds also,and have a hellava time sleeping some nights.But as they say,"This too shall pass."
Hi Kathi, I just came in and was able to open this page.
I remember your Australian tree fern when it was beautiful and healthy. Maybe it is like us getting old and falling apart.(LOL). We are still beautiful just ailing a little but improving each day.I love all the flower photos. I am jealous of your amarillous plants,i have never seen so many grow so big.Talk to you soon.Love you ,your big sister, Glen

Grinding your own wheat
Just interested to know if anyone out there grinds their own wheat berries and makes their own bread?/ Ive done it for quite a few years--best flour in town!!
Yes, have been doing so for 5-6 years. It is great isnt it?
In Ohio I imagine you can find local wheat - not possible here, sadly. I raise a trifle every year but it isn't easy to produce grain at garden scale and technology.
I use the Diamant mill made in Denmark, a very outstandingly fine machine.
We grind our wheat. I order my wheat berries once a year from montana milling. There are a bunch of us around here that do so we all order together and they deliver it on truck, but it requires an order of 4000 lbs or more. You can order from them directly and have it shipped. They sell many kinds of grains. I like Spring Red and Spring White. I usually mix it up a bit but prefer the red for bread. I have a k-tec grinder(as well as a hand grinder for emergencies that requires no electric). You cant beat the bread from warm just grinded wheat. We have been grinding our wheat for about 6 years now. We store it in 6 gallon buckets and keep as much as 500lbs at a time.
There is no need to store 500 lbs of anything for one family.
I collect empty plastic buckets from construction sites; they formerly held joint compound for sheetrock. Free and easy to find and clean out, but not "food-grade" plastic. I find for storing grains and beans, etc they are fine, but if you want food-grade you can usualy get them free from bakeries and restaurants - but they are often very difficult to clean of whatever gunk was in them.
For the poster looking for a source for wheat in Oklahoma. There is a brand new coop that is set up so people in many parts of Oklahoma can buy directly from local farmers. One of the farmers (Cattle Tracks) has wheat berries for $8.50 for a 25 # bag and $13.50 for a 50 # bag. A couple of other producers also have dried corn for grinding (Charles Horn has it for $10 a bushel).
Here is a link that might be useful: Oklahoma Food Coop
to find buckets of food grade check with any bakeries or grocers that have in house bakeries donut shops get them too. you need a special lid tool from the home center and some new lids most likely since most folks cut them. a bushel is 8 gallon so 2 5's is a bit over a bushel. In OK wheat is everywhere hard red winter mostly the king of bread wheats buy bulk from the local co-op in late june for the lowest prices if you want it cleaner by it by the bag from the higher price sources. If you buy feild run at a co-op you can clean it by pouring it back and forth tween a couple buckets on a windy day or in front of a box fan. shelf life of wheat in a 5 gallon bucket should be about 20 years Once you grind it use it in a week. I hand grind in a corona but would like to upgrade to power. I only use a small portion of grahm flour in my bread. As long as you are grinding add a bit of soybean or any bean to bump up protien. I use a bread machine and whole flour won't raise for me about 1/3 whole wheat flour makes a bread i like and stil raises for me.I add about 2 tablespoons of raw soybean to the wheat.Blanching the soybean may improve taste and health qualities, but in the small quantities i haven't bothered. Whole grains in buckets make great emergenciy preparedness rations as they keep for a long time and if you can hand grind you could eat no matter what basicly. Soybean can also be made into soy milk in a pinch or day to day if you are so inclined. Very coursley ground wheat needs cooked longer than oatmeal but makes a great warm cereal. Start with a bushel or 2 and see how long it lasts you, then adjust your anual purchases to stockpile the time frame you are comfortable with. corn and soybean are fall harvest all grains are cheapest during harvest. If possible buy it right out of the feild so you get this years crop from a healthy looking stand.sams club has 50 lb of nice popcorn for 10 dollars it can be ground into cornmeal or popped. I would like to find a field of barley to buy a couple hundred lbs of any of you raising malting barley? hand reaping is time consuming and i personally think gardening time is better spent on higher dollar items like herbs fruit berries vegetables nuts tobacco.
5 gallon bucket roughly holds 33 pounds of wheat...so two 50# bags (100#) needs 3 five gallon buckets.
If you properly store your grains (covered in DE or Vacuumed Sealed, baked, frozen or what ever way you choose to prevent and kill bugs) they can be stored indefinately. Remember that heating your grains renders then no longer viable. If you choose to rotate your grain and not use it, feed it to you chickens! It can always be ground with other legumes and grains and fed to them.
Five Hundred pounds??? I use 250 pounds of grain a day on my livestock oops forgot the dogs...make that 275 pounds a day
Search for a Minnonite bakery in your area...they usually have a buying co-op going and order in grain in large quantities.
I have been doing this for long enough my DH can't remember buying a loaf of bread...I have lost count. We like the hard white wheat berries for bread. I make it 100% whole grain and it rises to make a very soft loaf. I am baking it in a covered stone baker. I use 1/2 cup buttermilk to produce a softer crumb.
Does anyone else use the old time sponge method?
I'd love to try this! I'm not sure about growing our own wheat - from what I've read, the kind that does well here is soft white winter wheat, which makes more of a pastry flour - plus harvesting it could be a pain. But if it's cost-effective to purchase organically grown wheat berries to grind, that would work for me!
What kind of mill do you all use? I haven't gotten seriously down to business looking for one, but I'd love one that can grind wheat for flour and also crack corn for livestock, and I can't spend a fortune on one....
twinsmom, yes, there is a soft white wheat and I keep it on hand, also. I have a Whisper mill and love it. My only complaint is that it has very little adjustment...the cornmeal is a bit too fine for some things, but makes good cornbread and is the best priced mill that does a good job. It takes up little space...I believe the "foot print" is 9 inches.
Yes, I use the old time "sponge" method and grind my own wheat. I have a Whisper Mill that could wake the dead! My daughter is out there right now making bisquits with the butter milk left over from making butter today. We bartered 10 gallons of milk for a gallon of honey. I LONG for more land but we live on 1/2 arce. I do a lot of square foot gardening and do the best I can on what we have.
I've seen a mill or two at the thrift shops, but they were more expensive than I could afford at the time.
I did pick up a used kitchen aid wheat grinder, but I've never used it. Has anyone else tried one? Should I even bother?
My mother and I both enjoy fresh baked bread, so this has been on my mind for quite awhile and I'm interested in hearing folks opinions.
markapp, if you add more Gluten to the bread dough, you'll get more rise and can use 100% whole wheat. See link below to purchase.
A recipe:
Whole Wheat Bean Bread
A rich whole wheat bread with bean flour and honey added.
2-1/2 cups Water, lukewarm
1 Tb Yeast, Active Dry
3 Tb Honey
3 Tb Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup White Bean Flour
3/4 cup Vital Wheat *Gluten*
7 cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp Sea Salt
In a large mixing bowl soften yeast in warm water, then add honey and 3 cups of whole wheat flour. Mix and cover. Set in a warm place until light and spongy. Beat in remaining ingredients with wooden spoon, except 1 cup of whole wheat flour.
Turn out onto floured board and knead in last cup of flour. Continue to knead for 7-10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with cloth towel and allow to double in bulk.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and divide and shape into two equal portions. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Spray 2 bread pans with nonstick vegetable coating, place dough in pans, cover and let rise until bread does not spring back when pressed with finger.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, bake for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Loaves should sound hollow when tapped signifying that they are done.
Yield: 2 (1-1/2 lb.) loaves
Best of luck to all of you!!! :)
Here is a link that might be useful: purchase wheat gluten
I get my grains from a local health food store in 25# bags. Most of my breads are made with a Spelt, Kamut, Amaranth mix. This makes for a light tasty bread especially with a tsp. of vital wheat gluten (local grocery stores) added. The grains I use the most are Spelt, Kamut, Amaranth, Semolina flour, corn, millet, Golden 86 wheat, Barley. I use a Corona mill for the hard & large grains & beans, my Family Grain Mill is my usual mill.
heelo y'all
hope you had a nice summer
I am looking for a large grain mill - one that I could use in a bakery to gring my own grains for my bakery - anyone know where I might find such a thing
since I have a retsel at home and I like the doughs I make from that better - would like to include this in my bakery
thanks and peace:
I bought the mill attachment for my KitchenAid to grind wheat berries into flour. We are moving to remote (Nome) Alaska and I need to purchase berries in bulk to be moved with me as food is so expensive there. I want to bake my own bread, etc. Do you have any suggestions on storage of large amounts of berries & what type of berries to buy? Red / White, Hard / Soft, Winter / ??? Thanks Paula
Hard Red Winter: (9 to 14.5 percent protein),used primarily in commercial bread. Its distinctive flavor is preferred by many ww bread bakers. It produces slightly lower loaves with robust wheat flavor. Turkey Red is the most popular variety. It stores very well for years if kept dry.
Hard Red Spring: (11.5 to 18 percent protein),preferred by home bakers who like light-textured, high-volume bread, particularly reliable in bread machines.(We grow it in Oregon.)
Soft Red Winter: (8 to 11 percent protein), a soft, weak wheat used by commercial bakers for flatbreads, cakes, pastries, crackers and snack foods.
Soft White: (8 to 10.5 percent protein), considered too weak for bread making by itself, but used commercially for cookies, pastries, crackers and noodles. It adds a distinctive, delicious flavor to whole-meal desserts.
Hard White: (8 to 17 percent protein), it performs very well in bread but lacks the distinctive flavor of red wheat varieties.
Duram Wheat: (10 to 17 percent protein), it's the hardest of all U.S. wheats. Ninety-eight percent of America's duram is processed like white flour, with the bran and germ separated out and the endosperm milled into a gritty meal called semolina, for use in macaroni and spaghetti.
The general rule is: the more protein, the better the bread. Hard wheats and spring wheats tend to have more protein than soft wheats or winter wheats.
This information is from "Flour Power" by Marleeta Basey
I personally prefer Turkey Red and Hard White.
Hope this helps, Lyn
I find the flour power exerpts to be slightly confusing. Rather than strong or weak a better wording would have been high gluten for strong and low gluten for weak. If you take a handfull of raw berries and chew on them for a while high glutten wheats will form a substance a bit like chewing gum in your mouth. for yeast breads a high gluten is best either hard red or hard white winter wheats as a rule. On the other hand for the best cakes bisquits muffins or other quick breads(non yeast leavening) a soft spring low glutten wheat is best. Kneading and mixing also tends to develop gluten (like chewing the berries did) so we knead yeast breads a lot and barely mix cakes bisquits and quick breads. An intresting phenomena is most wheat that is somewhat lower yeilding due to lack of moisture will be higher protien while the big berried bumper crops from a wet year will have lower protien contents. In USA Duram or pasta wheats are typicly from northern plains soft spring for cake flours probably do best in the mid to southern eastern states and hard red winter wheat from the mid west plains.
TO answer the question on how to make soy milk from soy beans a net search should yeild several specific methods basicly soak the soybeans and even boil and discard at specific temps to reduce the mild toxins then boil and grind with water while hot and strain. sweeten and or add vanilla maybe a pinch of salt all to taste. I just saw an ag report that iowa U has released some new seed to a 1 percent bean as opposed to the typical 7 % If memory serves it is lan-something acid thet is a mild toxin to both humans and most livestock in the soybean heating does neutralize or change the toxin.
I've been baking my own bread for years, but am new to grinding my own flour. My questions are: how do you go about grinding your own white flour? Are there sources for getting high quality (ideally organic) freshly hulled grains for grinding, or do you just use whole grains all the time? If you can purchase hulled grains, how do they compare nutritionally to whole grains?
Re markapp's refence to the "confusing" aspect of the excerpt from Flour Power, I just wanted to point out that there's an entire chapter in the book on wheat that, among other things, clarifies the difference/relationships amongst terms used to indicate the intended end use for a given wheat: spring vs winter; soft vs hard; strong vs weak; gluten content and type; protein content. Although the terms describe different aspects of wheat and are interchangeable in a sense, they can indeed be confusing if you don't understand them and how they act in a given bread, cake or pasta. Link attached for more about the book.
My husband and I purchased a diamant grain mill last year. It is really great. For those looking for berries, Whole Foods either carries them or they can special order them as they do for us. We have a couple of sources one which is Lehmans in Ohio. Since there seems to be a large number of people grinding their own wheat, does anyone have a recipe for Whole Wheat Spaghetti and or pastas? Also would anybody want to share their bread recipes? We have tried some with no real success.
Since no one has answered the question about soy milk:
It's made by soaking dry soybeans overnight and then grinding them with water and straining/pressing off the liquid. The liquid should be cooked to be made more digestible.
Tofu can then be made from the milk by curdling it with epsom salts or lemon juice and straining/pressing in the same manner as making dairy cheese.
Time consuming, sometimes messy, but not complicated.
A similar method can make rice or nut milk.
Hi fellow grain grinders! I bought a Nutrimill and am only 4 months into grinding my own flour. I'm kinda dissapointed with the instructions that came with the mill. There was only one bread recipe and very few directions for explaining the different settings and achiving different textures. The mill works great but I'm looking for others who will share good bread recipes using various type of grains and ingredients. I have a Bosch Universal Mixer and like making a full batch at one time. Baking up a storm on Kodiak Island, Alaska
Pls tell me do you wash the grains first and how do you dry them before grinding???????????????
Well, I don't raise my own grain, but no, I don't wash purchased grains before grinding them into flour. I imagine if I was inclined to wash them, it'd be necessary to thoroughly dry them before grinding.
What are you concerned about washing away? Dirt? Pesticides? Bug parts?
I just think it is cleaner to wash the grains to remove like what you mentioned dirt, pesticide and whatever stuff is on the grain. Don't you think it is necessary to wash the various grains?
Regards pesticides, I've been buying organically-grown grains.
As for dirt, well, a little dirt in the gizzard never hurt anyone. :-) Seriously, it's just not high on my list of worries. When I pull a fresh carrot from the garden and rinse it before eating, I do my best to remove dirt, but I don't go to the trouble of scrubbing every last speck off. Anything on the grain is very likely to be simple organic cruft, and it's all baked or cooked after being ground to flour anyway. It doesn't bother me any more than the thought that there might be a few insect eggs in the dried beans I buy -- which I freeze for a few weeks before using for that reason, to kill 'em if they're there, before they could hatch.
Can anyone tell me where I buy my organic grains (Kamut, Spelt, Amarynth, Whole Wheat and Quinoa) the girl said that you must wash quinoa to remove the little "o" hulls - if that is the case how would you use the washed quinoa. I buy bread that is called ancient grains that has a blend of the above - some of the grain looks whole still - label says 2% this and 2% that so not large amounts so I am wondering if I could leave the washed quinoa whole? I am also thinking that perhaps I should throw all the grains in the freezer for a week just in case??? insect eggs etc - dont mind ingesting a bit of dirt and I wont worry about pesticides because it is organic but the insect eggs????????? yikes
I never bother to wash grains but if they are dirty you certainly could wash then spread thin layer on a large shallow baking sheet to dry at low temp in oven. Most of the dust in wheat is wheat pollen. Just for everyones info corn and soybean in my area get fair amounts of chemical pesticides for insects and weeds but our hard red winter wheat is seldom sprayed with anything. My point is that hard red winter wheat is probably the closest to organic that is not specificly labeled organic of most any ag crop. Most farmers do apply amonia to all crops for N fertilizer but little else to wheat around here. Some other intresting things for this thread soaked or steamed wheat berries whole make a bread similar to wheat berry labeled. Grains and germs can be toasted in an oven at about 350 F until lightly brown to add a more nutty flavor to breads. Also grains that are dried grind finer when milling as most all grain retains 8% or more moisture depending on humidity etc. If you want a fine grind of bran and germ as you go try dring in a 200F oven a few minutes a couple times to drive out moisture. Ground whole wheat berries are grahm flour. whole wheat flour has a portion of the original kernal removed.
We have a Wolfgang Mill from Germany that is fantastic, and we also use it to make muesli. I've got a back up manual mill that screws to a table or countertop. It works just fine, but I usually have to put the grains through more than once to get it fine enough.
my sister uses a nutrimill which is sooo loud and living in ohio buy our wheat berries from the amish for cheap. We live in the woods so can't grow our own though that be prtty cool though a buch of work I imagine. We don't wash the beriies before we use them
I took the following quote from a web site that has a review on a grain mill:
"Does anyone know what the stones are made out of? I know that most grain mills use ceramic-corundum, which is just another name for aluminum oxide. There was a study that i read a while ago saying that there is relationship between silicon and aluminum in Alzheimer brain lesions. Would anyone happen to know where i could find a grain mill that uses a NATURAL stone such as granite?"
Personally, we would like to use a mill with stones rather than with steel burrs, which we understand heats up the flour and reduces its nutritional content. Anyone know of a new grinder with natural stones? there are old grinders on ebay from time to time, but they look like they take up a lot of counter space.

could you all please tell me a good place to purchase wheat and grains in bulk. I would like to grind my own stuff but I just do not know where to start. I would also like to know how hard it is to grow wheat. I might give that a try. I am not afraid to try new things, I just do not know where to start. I will take any and all advise I can get. thanks a bunch.
I don't have a grain mill yet, but have been looking into getting one. Many folks really like the Country Living Mill and everyone says the Diamont is the best, but it is also a lot more expensive. The Kitchen Aid grain mill doesn't get very good reviews but one of the other varieties can be adapted to fit a Kitchen Aid.
I do have an antique industrial coffee mill I'm going to put together to see if that will mill grain fine enough but it is still on the "to do" list. If that doesn't work (and I'm anticipating about a twenty percent chance it will) then a "real" grain mill will have to be found.
For getting grain to grind, if you want smaller quantities you could try Azure Standard to see which types of grain you prefer before buying fifty or several hundred pounds of it.
For storing grain in five gallon buckets, if you put the grain in the bucket and then add a bit of dry ice before sealing the lid the gasses produced by the dry ice will kill all bug eggs and larvae in the grain.

I am just starting out to grind my own whole wheat flour.
I have a kitchen aid grinder. I am trying to find out what the ratio of wheat to flour is. 1c grain = aprox how much flour. Any other commets and suggestions would be great.
I've been grinding my own for a few years now, with my vita-mix. Would love a 'real' grinder, but too expensive right now.
I'm having a big problem right now with my new breadmaker. I had an Oster 1-1.5 pound loaf maker and I had a recipe down cold with hard wheat (not sure if white or red, health food store doesn't label either). Got a new maker, the Black&Decker horizontal 2-3 pound. Haven't been able to get a nice loaf out of it!
First thing was I was trying out spelt when I got the new maker. Two loafs fell terribly when I used the old wheat recipe with spelt in place. Do you have to do something different with Spelt?
Tried back with the regular hard wheat today but still didn't get a good result. I never used gluten in my old maker/recipe, but so many recipes I'm finding online call for it and milk powder which I didn't have to use before. Gluten is expensive!! 10 bucks for a wee little bag!
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know where I can find some good plain and hearty whole wheat bread recipes for the breadmaker, specially for freshly milled?
To previous poster, I find that 3 cups of grains will produce 3.5 cups of flour.
I grind my wheat with a Nutrimill mill and love it (mine is not real noisy, either). I am also having a hard time finding places to buy wheat in Minnesota (near the Twin Cities). I drive to South Dakota occassionally to purchase 40 lb bags of organic wheat and 20 lb bags of organic flax. Both are washed before bagging and I really like the product. It would cost way too much to have it shipped, therefore, I would like to find a place to purchase product closer to home.
I absolutely love this idea. I know it certainly isn't new, but I haven't been exposed to country life for very long and had no idea that grinding wheat could be done on a small scale. Don't laugh, I've been sheltered. So now that it might be possible for me too, I would like to know how much land would be needed to produce enough wheat for a family of 4 for the year? Or is it still more feasible to buy wheat? I would be interested in organic wheat, know of any suppliers? Thank you, there is a lot of wonderful advice here.
I have a Country Living Mill, I absolutly love it. It's a great workout, and a good frustration reliever! I buy organic red spring wheat from Anita's Organic. I also bought a big sack of wheat from the feed store and tried to grow some ~ the jury is still out on that one!... I'm not sure what kind of wheat it is, and it's growing but we've had such miserable weather this year, it's not producing as well as it should... I am getting some though. If it's enough to make 1 loaf I'll be as happy as the little red hen!
Next spring I'll be planting a large patch of wheat. I figure, if I use 4 55lb bags a year, and every wheat kernel I plant will give me at least 10 back, If I plant 1/2 a bag that should be plenty. It also shouldn't take up very much space.... something like 20ft x 40 ft (theoretically)

Hi everyone.
On the subject of growing your own grain, I'm going to try it next year. there is an article (I believe, but I could be wrong) in the latest issue of "backwoods home magazine. (July/August 2008) http://www.backwoodshome.com/current_issue.html
Now I don't have the copy of it with me, as I left it up the cabin, but I'll know this weekend and maybe try to type the directions in here this weekend. It goes something like this:
you hand broadcast it to sow the seed
then just let it grow!
when it's ready (beats me how we'll know when that is)...
You cut it down with a weed-wacker. (sounds fun, doesn't it?)
you gather it together in little clumps and stand up to let it dry
then you can thresh it on a windy day.
I'll try to get that magazine this weekend when I visit the big woods of the Allegheny National Forest. It's a great time of year to see the black bears there while picking the unending supply of juicy sweet blackberries.
BTW - I just recieved my "Country Living Grain Mill" a couple of weeks ago. It works great and is not very hard to hand-crank. However, I am still young(33) and wonder if it won't get old in about 40 years when I'm still grinding my own wheat and just beginning to age...
I love my Country Living Grain Mill. I got mine through www.GrindWheat.com
It is the best out there right now.

Hi! I recently inherited an old Magic Mill stone wheat grinder from my grandma. It's been sitting for at least 15 years, but seems in pretty good shape all things considered. I don't have a manual, so I'm not sure how to go about making sure it works OK. Does anyone have experience with this type of mill? Or an old user's manual they would be willing to copy for me? I'd really like to fix this up, but I don't want to inadvertently kill it trying to make sure it works!
I have a Golden Grain Grinder that is about 30+ years old that my dad gave me about 15 years ago. My problem is finding the wheat...though I have found a couple of Amish and Mennonite stores that carry some, though not much. I live in middle TN. Would like to find a coop.
Can anyone tell me what the whitest whole wheat there is? I bought 3 lbs of hard spring white wheat last week...wanted to see how it ground and baked before I bought 50 pounds. It is whiter than some other whole wheat flours...just wanted to know what everyone else thought.
I bought a Champion Juicer with a grain mill from ebaby, so be sure to check there before buying retail. It does a great job.
Some of you asked for recipes. This one is a family favorite -
Flax Seed Bread
4 tsp. (7 g) bread machine yeast
3 (72 g) TBS honey
2 1/4 c. water*
2 TBS (28 g) butter, melted
1 tsp. (4 g) sugar
2 tsp. ( 12 g) salt
3 TBS. (25 g) Vital Wheat Gluten
2 TBS (18 g) sesame seeds
2 TBS (24 g) flax seeds
2 TBS (17 g) poppy seeds
2 TBS (14 g) toasted wheat germ
2 TBS (18 g) sunflower seeds
3 TBS. (27 g) buttermilk pwdr*
3 c. (360 g) WW flour (2 1/2 c. wheat grains)
3 c. (411 g) bread flour
*or use 1 1/2 c buttermilk & 3/4 c. water & no buttermilk pwdr.
Combine water, butter & honey in mixer bowl. Add the salt, seeds, WW flour, buttermilk powder, yeast & wheat germ. Stir. Add the flours. When the dough has pulled tog., turn the mixer speed to 2 & insert the dough hook. Knead about 6 min. Lightly oil a lg. bowl, place the dough in the bowl & turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a damp cloth & let rise until doubled, about 1 hr.
Grease three 8 x 4" pans. Deflate the dough & turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 3 equal pcs. & form into loaves. Place loaves in the pans. Cover with a damp cloth & let rise until doubled, about 40 min. Bake at 375 for about 30 min. Makes about three 1 1/4 lb. loaves or two 9x5" loaves. Adjust baking time if you use the larger loaf pans.
Since I make this all the time, I keep part of the bread mix in the freezer: Put the ingredients individually in 4-5 Ziploc bags: yeast, sugar, buttermilk pwdr, salt, VWG, wheat germ, sesame, flax, poppy & sunflower seeds. Take 1 bag out & bring to room temp. before mixing. Add the other ingredients as the recipe above states.
I found this on the Internet 2 years ago. The original recipe, if I remember right, called for 4 c. bread flour & 2 c. whole wheat flour. You could search & probably come up with the original recipe.
I bake mine in the oven in the winter, but in the summer I cut the recipe in half & put it in a bread machine.
Food Processor Pasta
2 c. flour 2 lg. eggs 1/4 c. water Dash of salt
Using metal blade, process flour, eggs & salt for 5 seconds. With motor running, pour water down feed tube & process until dough forms a ball. May not need all the water. Dough should be well blended, but not stick. If sticky, add flour & knead. If dough is crumbly, add 1 to 2 tsp. of flour & process. Turn dough onto a floured surface & knead 2-3 min. Roll out 1/4 of dough at a time to desired thinness. (Go to 4 on pasta machine.) Cut into desired widths.
Whole Wheat Pasta - Substitute WW flour & let dough rest for 20 min.
Spinach Pasta - 1/2 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen ch spinach, cooked & minced to equal 1/4 c.. Squeeze spinach & process with eggs until spinach is finely ch. Add flour & process until dough forms a ball. Probably wonÂt need to add water.
Orange or Rosy Pasta - 3 TBS. strained cooked carrots or beets (baby food) or 3 TBS. tomato paste.
Corn Pasta - 1 c. corn flour, 1 c. flour, 2 lg. eggs, 2 - 4 TBS. water
In the Kansas City area, Nature's Pantry (19019 E 48th St. South in Independence) has whole grains in bulk. (That's east of 291 & Highway 40 intersection.)
I recently bought a used Retsel Mil-Master. I have used it to make corn meal with a taste that just can't be bought from the store. I bake white bread now using store bought flour. Of course I want to mill fresh wheat and try baking with it. I have a friend coming from out west and will bring me a couple of bushels of wheat when he comes. I'm thinking I want hard wheat for bread. Maybe get a bushel of white and red and I think it should be winter wheat. Am I thinking correctly? Any suggestions? Thanks Mitch
Mitch, I use hard red spring wheat for bread. It is really good. I find it a bit heavy though, sometimes I sift out most of the bran (and save for bran muffins), other times I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with regular white flour. It has a really nice nutty flavor. I also find I have to knead it more (activate the gluten) to get a really nice fluffy loaf.
In the newest mother earth news magazine there is a recipe for 5 minute bread. I did not like the way that turned out with the Red spring wheat. It was VERY dense and heavy like eating a cake of cream of wheat cereal.
Barbie, When I mill whole wheat I can sift out part of the brand? It doesn't come out of the mill all the same size? What do I use for the sifter to separate it? When I mill the wheat should I make it as fine as I can for bread making? I may not wait for my buddy to bring me wheat I may buy a small amount locally just to try it out. Thanks, Mitch
Mitch, yes you can sift out some of the bran, it is a bit larger than the rest of the flour, kind of like a little brown flake. You will want to mill the flour just about as fine as it can get to make bread, otherwise you end up with more of a cornbread consistancy. Very dense and heavy.
I sift my flour with a small wire mesh strainer I bought at a department store. You want to use the finest mesh you can get. I think it is about 1/32" or .5mm maybe even finer.
I find also, for making bread, if I want it to rise really high, to be light and airy inside (like bakery bread) I have to knead it quite a bit to get the gluten working.
I use my kitchen aid mixer for this, mixing the yeast, water, sugar, salt and milk with 1/2 of the flour on med speed for about 10 mins. Then slowly add in the rest of the flour. (this is called batter method)
It's easier on the machine that way. If you are using a recipe that is too large for a mixer bowl, you can mix the batter with a spoon by hand to get the same effect.
Montanaanne, you can buy wheat from Bob's Red Mill online, and I'm sure there are many others.
In Canada, I buy wheat from Anita's Oganic Mill ( http://www.anitasorganic.com/products.htm )
km249 posted here that s/he had recently inherited an old Magic Mill and wanted an instruction manual for it. I am in the same position with a mill and no instructions. I am new to this forum and can't figure out how to contact him/her to see if she got one. Contact me here or email me at email@example.com if you know how I can get one.
My friend brought 4 bushels of wheat back from "Out West". The deal is I get 3 bushels free but I mill the fourth bushel for him. This is the first wheat I have milled with the second hand Retsel Mil-Master I had bought. It does an excellent job of milling the wheat. It comes out just as fine as store bought. The flour is slightly warm but not even close to being hot. It is really quiet too.
I am making bread using half bread flour and half whole wheat. I want to make it with 100% whole wheat flour without adding vital glutton. Does anyone have a recipe like that for bread, pizza dough, pasta and others?
I don't grow my own wheat or anything, but I do grind it fresh for bread and such using a Nutrimill I bought from a neighbor... And I agree, it's completely different than store-bought whole wheat flour! We are fortunate to be able to buy bulk wheat through a local food coop here in Tennessee (west).
I would also be interested if anyone has a recipe for 100% whole wheat pizza crust.
As for recipes, The Fresh Loaf is a great source of recipes and information about whole wheat breads, sourdoughs and grinding your own wheat.
And for the many who asked where to find bulk wheat, here is a company that delivers Wheat Montana bulk wheat and other whole grains at VERY reasonable prices. See link below.

What size is a slab of granite?
I'm trying to find out how big a slab of granite is so that I can figure out my counters and island.
Thank you!
It depends on the size of the block from which the slab was sawn and this varies.
Engineered stone slabs are 54" x 120" +_.
I suggest you connect with a fabricator who has a Slabsmith or similar program. This lays out your tops on the slabs in stock and you can grain match.
You can't be sure that a particular granite you want will come in a big enough slab. You'll have to keep an open mind and visit a stone yard to find one you like that is big enough.
FWIW, we are getting Ceasarstone (had granite before, and just decided we wanted a different look), and designed the island's size based on the size of the slab (I ended up with 2 35" drawer stacks, a 4-1/2" filler for power, 24" microwave cabinet, 18" drawer stack, 3/4" panels on each end), which although nominally 120" really only allows for an island of 118" (plus 3/4" on each end, plus a little tolerance). I guess they need a little tolerance for making the edges.

Retreats are an excellent method of practicing Pratyhara, the 4th limb of Yoga. Pratyahara is internalizing one's attention. It is the boundary between the external and internal practices of Yoga and the threshold to Oneness-realization.
It is excellent to travel to retreats from time to time for rejuvenation. Yet, it is even better to have a private retreat in one's own home. This has the power to spiritualize one's everyday life, and further imbue the home with sacred vibrations. The home is often truly where the heart is, and when the home is full of the sacred light of meditation, so is the heart.
You are invited to join us July 16th – 19th, 2015 for an online yogic meditation retreat from the comfort of your own home. Rather than travel to an exotic or distant location, I invite you to take time from your work and your family and consciously dedicate these 4 days during the height of Summer to commit to your spiritual path, further deepen your spiritual well-being, and to give your self permission to rejuvenate your soul.
During this retreat we will come together online for:
- Guided meditation practice and training
- Yogic philosophy lectures – how to think, act and be like a yogi
- Kriya Yoga Meditation Techniques and lifestyle instruction
See the schedule at the end of this post for the retreats daily agenda.
Seasoned yogic meditators are invited to participate to further hone their practice, and beginning yogic meditators are invited to learn the time tested techniques of Self-realization.
This retreat is open to 24 participants.
Fee: It is on a donation basis.
To Register: Please email email@example.com to request information on how to apply for participation. Registration ends June 25th, 2015.
Retreat Dates: July 16th – 19th 2015
Once your registration is complete a document will be sent to you describing how to make the most of your guided home retreat.

Just curious - I could care less if it's a limited edition or valuable. I just trade for the fun of it.
Just curious - I could care less if it's a limited edition or valuable. I just trade for the fun of it.
Will trade husband for Disneyland and DCA Pins!
I mostly trade to get pins I want. I care a little bit about value, but if it is something I really want I go for it.
On some stuff you have to take into account value. You can't(well I guess you could) just trade a WDI pin for anything for a Disney Auctions pin for let's say a Cast Lanyard. But I trade fairly one for one, cast lanyard for Cast Lanyard, etc. Some people are really good about trading, others just like to show off and won't trade for anything but your first born child. If you don't want to trade it, don't put it in your book!
I like to know the value of my pins but I collect for fun mostly. I haven't sold anything. But when I trade you need to know if you are getting a good value.
For fun, but I look around before trading. I got 2 good pins the other day (for my collection) An Epcot one (and I know I wouldn't be able to buy it here) and a CM pin from 2000 a Hospitality pin. Been looking all over for the 2nd and found it on a CM lanyard in WOD. I was really happy!
I usually don't even check out their value, but if it's a limited edition, I try to hang onto it.
Will trade husband for Disneyland and DCA Pins!
I trade for fun mostly.
BUT its fun to trade for value too. Cause you can get a rare one and be really proud of it.
I had a limited addition pin that they only made 100 of, but I traded it cause I thought it was dumb. (it was a coutry bear the movie pin)
I just trade for what I think is cool.
Mostly for fun. Anything LE or such I'd hold onto. But I want pins I like looking at, not pins that just are worth something.
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
i collect to collect....but I DO like the limited editions..small runs...just something a little exciting to know I'm 1 of a 100 to have THAT same pin!
I collect for fun.
i collect for fun and i also collect the pins that i think are cool and are worth keeping.
I like to trade for fun. Although I also keep my eye on certain pins I like which at times are LE.
Some of my pins have vaue, but it's all for the fun. It's getting to the point of what pins I do and don't have, then going to each cast member looking at what pins they have that I might need.
i trade because all of my friends trade but i like to make the jealous with limited editions and all
Denver Nuggets Baby
I'm not into trading. We only get to DLR once a year for a few days so I buy only the pins I like and they get put on my lanyard for that trip with locking backs. I'll spend upwards of $200 per trip on pins and I have all of my lanyards from past trips hanging in my office.
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

New bill seeks to stop US government from accessing citizens' email, personal info
Washington, Nov. 22 (ANI): A new US bill will soon be able to stop government from accessing email and other personal data of its citizens if it comes into force.
If the new bill currently making its way through Congress becomes law, federal law enforcement agencies will soon have their hands tied when it comes to accessing email and other personal data of US citizens.
Laws governing the privacy of emails were drafted in mid-1980s, long before AOL and Gmail, Fox News reports.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy has drafted a substitute bill for the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which was originally written in 1986 long before things like electronic archiving and cloud storage, the report said.
The update, which will be under review next Thursday, modernizes rules for police seeking to obtain private email for investigative purposes, rules that had been surprisingly lax.
"Technology [today] is fundamentally different than anything thought of in the 80s," Alan Butler, an advisory counsel member with the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said.
"The standard amount of storage was much smaller when the bill was originally written," he told FoxNews.com.
"The statute has not undergone a significant revision since it was enacted in 1986 -- light years ago in Internet time," he added.
Butler said that the update is meant to do away with the "180-day rule," which said that law-enforcement agencies need a mere administrative subpoena and not a court-approved warrant to access email messages older than six months, the report said.
According to the report, currently, police agencies can simply say that they think a particular email is relevant to an investigation and force an Internet company to hand it over, without a judge's OK.
More recent emails would require a warrant, and Leahy's bill would make a court-approved warrant mandatory to obtain and view private emails from any time frame, it added. (ANI)

The registration process; requesting an absentee ballot; fax and e-mail possibilities; the vagaries of the postal system; fears that, once filled in and mailed, one's ballot might not arrive, and if it did arrive, would not be counted - all these became fodder for anxious questions and endless conversations.

Hello guys, we have already learned that how to validate a web application form using validation controls. These validation controls are easy to use thats why the developers use these controls. But some time we need to make our web application more fast. As you all know that using more ASP.NET controls makes site more slow to load. So reduce the loading time of the web page we use sometimes JavaScript Function to validate the web form. JavaScript Function are also easy to use and thsi method is very fast to validate the form. and I hope that you will also learn that how to call a Javascript function from the code behind page in ASP.NET.
A perfect Application should not only to show the output as our requirement, the application should also validated by the developer who developed the application. For web application we can use the controls to validate the web page. But in Window Application there is no available control for validation. We have to write code to perform various validations. So friends! How to know that EMail Id that was insert by the user is validate or not? The Email Id called a valid Email Id when it was inserted in the proper expression.This article will show you that how to validate Email Id in Window Application Form.

North East & the Central Highlands of Iceland
Beauty in Complexity
Photography may move us, and it may take us to an imaginary place in our hearts and minds, but it can't totally replace the feeling of actually, literally being there. And that's where this selection of images falls down for me, because the central highlands of Iceland are like no other place I know.
It has a vastness to it that's not possible to convey because scale has always been a troublesome aspect to convey once reduced down to a small photograph. The deserts of central Iceland are so large, that it's hard to compute distances and know how far away distant objects on the horizon really are. Try conveying that in a 2D world of reduced tonal ranges and smaller-than-life imagery, and you've got a lot of obstacles to overcome.
The black volcanic deserts of the central highlands reach out in every direction overcoming your visual sense with near-total blackness. In some instances, perhaps near the volcano of Hekla, you come across a depth of black to the desert, that puts all the other blacks in Iceland into perspective. Here there is not one living thing to be found - just an engulfing lack of colour. So often I find these kinds of places startling because we wish to, no, maybe we need to see colour in a landscape and when there is none, we find ourselves searching for it.
I wasn't quite sure how to approach the editing of this work. I procrastinated for a few days because the colours weren't working. I realised I should have shot the landscape with a more muted colour film. It does not suit the heavy saturation of Fujifilm Velvia and my edits here are the result of slowly coming to terms that I needed to desaturate to produce what I had experienced and what I wanted to convey. Somehow that blackness and muted colour palette of the central highlands was important to maintain in the final work.
I was drawn to the abstract. I'm always on the lookout for simplified shapes and tones in the landscapes I encounter, and in the case of the central highlands - this proved to be extremely challenging. The landscape does not offer up simplified compositions easily. I often felt that if I were to take a view from afar, or from the air, things may become more much easier. In fact I often wished to have a more elevated view.
But I'm not done yet. This is only a handful of the images I made over two visits this year, first visiting the Fjallabak region this July and then again in mid-September.
Adding this collection of work to my website, I've been struck by its complexity. My compositions over the years have become more simplified, and I think I've been actively seeking out landscapes that can help provide me find and use elegant shapes and tones in my photography. Although these attributes can be found in the central highlands, and in the north east of the country, they come bundled with an added complexity that has to be worked at.
This landscape's beauty is actually in its complexity.
Refined FemininityWith the utmost of manners, and what felt like genuine consideration for their guest, I found the Geisha to be completely spellbinding. Everything about them leaned dramatically towards a time-honoured, refined image of femininity; the hair, the lightness of skin, the lipstick and the softness of manner. All were an inescapable, highly impressionable window on a past.
A past, where feminine delicacy had been unashamedly celebrated.
MindfulnessMany of the Geisha I met were not mature woman. Maiko, as they are known, are young girls, whom from the age of 15 serve an apprenticeship until their early 20's. From then on, they are known as Geiko.As beautiful as they were, at a distance, I could have easily assumed them to be much older than their years. It was only upon being introduced to one, that I realised she must be around 16 years old. Centuries of tradition, elaborate yet elegant costume and an air of old-fashioned politeness had made a young girl seem much older than she was. I don't think I've ever felt so much reverence for such a young stranger before. I got the impression that Japan leads one to feel a great respect for everything, because respect is evident in many things the Japanese do. I felt that they are a mindful people at heart.
Monochrome in ColourI first made images of the black sand beaches of Iceland in 2011. Since then, I've noticed that I seem to be using the colour palette of a location to provide a 'theme' for the work at hand.I think this set of images are a continuation (or development) from my first set of images made here in 2011. They are more mono-chromatic in nature; a little bit more fine-tuned perhaps.I seem to have become obsessed with colour as a theme to unify a body of work. And if the subject is mono-chromatic in nature, it has to be listened to, and respected in the final work. Even if I am shooting in colour.
Fine-TuningI'm always aware of changes in my own workI think that the stage I'm at with my work these days is of fine-tuning a style that has been in progress for 12 years or so. There is a shift, but it's subtle.
I think as photographers, or as creative people in general, we should observe, and notice these subtle shifts in our own work. It is through this process of self-awareness, that we are given clues as to where it is that we are going.
Getting AcquaintedSometimes I feel as though I really know a place, only to find that I've really just scratched the surface.
The Altiplano of northern Chile and Bolivia had many surprises in store for me in 2013. I had not anticipated snow at such a high elevation during the season that I ventured here.I'm only acutely aware now, that the Altiplano figures largely in my future as a place for me to work on my compositions, and my understanding of light, shade and tone. It offers challenges that I have not experienced elsewhere on my travels to date.
The Unveiling of a PortfolioI often leave large spells between a shoot, and the editing of it. I find the distance allows me to gain some objectivity.
While I was editing this body of work, I realised that leaving things too long, can bring on a feeling of creative blockage. It was such a joy to work on these images. Each one has its own personality, and now that they're all here, I feel as if I've always known them. Like they were always here, but just out of sight, waiting to come out and show me who they are.I also enjoyed watching the entire portfolio take shape. As each image was completed, I felt as if the mood and tone and story of the portfolio shifted and changed.
Arctic Circle HomeI have so many places I call home now. Each time I come back to Lofoten in Norway, I spend time with my good friends who live here. There is an extended curcle of expats living in the Lofoten Islands. It seems to be a place where strangers can come and be at home.I believe that we all have a perfect place to be. Some of us have always found home, while some of us have to go searching to find it. I think Lofoten is home for many people who aren't from there originally. There is a magnetic pull that draws certain people here.
Rorbu and SnowLofoten to me, is an idyl. It holds a lot of dreams for me as a landscape, particularly so in winter. With little red fishing huts (known as Rorbu), dotted around the landscape, and towering mountains jutting out of the sea, it is a place where I feel I can explore the possibility of making very romantic landscapes.
Winter at Perito Moreno GlacierI love inclement weather. Low visibility reduces the landscape down to the simple building blocks of form and tone.
The Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina was a perfect study of form and tone during my winter visit. The cloud had descended, and the backdrop of mountains and sky had become veiled, lost to the eye. Reduced visibility seems to add a new dimension to the work. I think this is because our minds tend to create something out of nothing, to visually fill in the gaps.
Twilight BluesJust as some photographers love to shoot in black and white, I love to shoot in twilight.
I see no difference in terms of approach. My images are monochromatic studies in blue, rather than black and white.
For me, colour ads an extra dimension, and if used delicately, it can aid rather than inhibit the simplified message that monochromatic images convey.
Tones & Simple ShapesI didn't know quite what to expect returning back to Bolivia. Would I create the same kind of work as I did in 2009, or would I have a new way of looking at the same landscape?I'm pleased to say that I didn't have an answer to this until I was back home, working on the new images from this trip.I now see, that my first trip to Bolivia in 2009 opened up the door towards simple compositions and this recent trip allowed me to see how far I've come down that road.It's been a beautiful journey so far and the altiplano is a great place to simplify, and think about tones and shapes only.
Vibrancy & HuesOn the altiplano, and particularly so on the Salar de Uyuni salt flats, one is forced to think about tone and colour only, because that's all there is to work with.It really does make for a great lesson in 'less is more'.But I feel that it's not just about improving craft. The clarity of the light really does make for a very intimate experience. I do hope to continue to come here, as there is so much more that I have yet to explore.
Like an Arctic TundraVisiting the south coast of Iceland in January, was like seeing a familiar friend in a very new way.
We saw icelandic ponies, set like black silhouettes against the white backdrop of nothingness, and I often wished I could have made images of them. But it was not to be.
We had snow drifts and oftentimes the sky was inseparable from the ground that we were driving on.
The landscape still provided. I think in some ways, Iceland remains one of my best friends.
Square AspectsI took along a recently acquired hasselblad 500CM camera that I'd aquired from a dear friend. I love the square aspect ratio and I think it was great to come to Iceland, and see new compositions - suggested to me - by working with a new aspect ratio.I think square has more of a graphic-art suggestion to it. I think this lends itself to influencing you to look at the landscape in a more abstract way. It's certainly something I wish to continue to explore. Sometimes, new (old) equipment can lead you in a new direction.

Click here for more important Advising Information
Created to Work and to do Good Works
Life and work are intimately connected.
"The odds of thriving in all areas of well-being are 4.6x higher if [we are] engaged at work" (Gallup).
The odds of being engaged at work are…
- 2.6x higher if college prepared students well for life outside of college
- 2.4x higher if the institution was passionate about the long-term success of its students
- 2.2x higher if students had mentors who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams
- 2.0x higher if at least one professor made them excited about learning
- 1.9x higher if professors cared about students as people
- 1.8x higher if students worked on a project that took a semester or more to complete (Gallup)
Hope College understands this. Hope "will engage every student in a holistically formative education, distinguished by its combination of academic rigor, intimate learning environment, and experiential relevance, developed and delivered by nationally-recognized teacher-scholars" (Hope College Strategic Plan Goals, 2015).
Thus CFL is a resource for all Hope students (regardless of major), complementing Hope's academic program. It is focused on educating for life and work. CFL's mission is to help students discern their gifts and calling, prepare for work, and transition from college. Because we were created to work and do good works. Thus,
That Matter
Our "Why?" is to help students holistically flourish. Work is a gift of God and an opportunity to seek shalom. Therefore, we help students:
- Discover, develop, and use their gifts
- Prepare for work
- Transition from college
Our "How?" is that we invest in students. We uniquely combine action learning with coaching and mentoring focused on knowing as we are known and students' long-term fulfillment and well-being. We believe in education that is holistic.
Work Experiences
We do not sponsor an academic major or minor. But we are a resource for all Hope College students regardless of major or minor. As such, our "What?" is to co-create work experiences that matter. In short, we invest in students in three ways:
- CFL Integrated Learning — We offer experiential coursework and mentoring for all interested students to help them discern their gifts and calling.
- LDRS 201: Introduction to Inspirational Leadership (2 credits)
- LDRS 231: Leading the Start-Up Process (4 credits)
- LDRS 291: Becoming an Influential Leader (2 credits)
- LDRS 292: The Trusted Adviser (2 credits)
- CFL Consulting – We recruit students to help organizations test and develop their ideas. Selected students work as employees in small groups with coaches and subject matter experts for real organizations. To prepare, students enroll in LDRS 291: Becoming an Influential Leader (recommended) and LDRS 292: The Trusted Adviser (required). As a result, employers invest in our students.
- CFL Incubator– We recruit students who wish to test and develop their own ideas. Selected students work as employees surrounded with coaching and mentoring for their own organizations. To prepare, students enroll in LDRS 201: Introduction to Inspirational Leadership (recommended) and LDRS 231: Leading the Start-Up Process (required). As a result, investors invest in our students.
A Resource
CFL is a resource for all Hope students (regardless of major), complementing Hope's academic program. It invests in students primarily but engages other individuals, teams, and organizations. Together we co-create work experiences that matter to help discover and validate our ideas, gifts and calling!
To God be the glory!

Grant Them Eternal Rest-Score composed by Andrew Boysen. For concert band. Bandworks. Grade 4.5. Score. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB314F).
Dedicated to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The five movements, Introit, Kyrie, Dies Irae, Sanctus and Angus Dei, outline the general form of a Requiem Mass. Boysen transforms the first seven notes of the somber Gregorian Chant melody, the "Dies Irae," throughout the piece. The chant makes a full and frightening appearance at the end of the third movement, only to be disguised in the fourth movement by the enchanted sounds of the mallet percussion. Grant Them Eternal Rest is a monumental addition to the canon of wind literature.
