article: Hulled sunflower seeds those without shells will sprout more quickly. If you can only gather unhulled sunflower seeds, collect these in a bowl and allow them to soak overnight. In the morning, toss the seeds then pour them into a strainer. Try to pick out hulls as you go. Do not worry if some hulls remain. Place the sunflower seeds in a large, open-mouth jar such as a canning jar or something slightly larger. Fill the jar with water so that the seeds float on top. During this period, the seeds should begin to sprout. Wait until the seeds have nearly doubled in size and the sprout has begun to emerge. When sprouting sunflower seeds, always periodically check them so that you do not allow them to soak for too long. Make sure to cover the jar again. Let them sit in the jar, in a warm or room temperature location with no direct sunlight, for one to three days until they've finished sprouting. Rinse them and return them to the jar one or two times a day until they are done. You can also use a special sprouting bag instead of the original jar. Place the sprouting seeds into the sprouting bag and hang it over a sink or other area to allow draining. Continue to rinse every five hours or so. When they've started to sprout and look like little V's, they're ready to eat. Rinse the sprouts you plan to eat and store the remaining sprouts in your refrigerator to enjoy later.

article: While a bass guitar does provide a melody line, it considered as part of the rhythm section. It holds the beat down, and it cannot waver. If you want to slap a funky bass, you must have perfect, dependable rhythm for your band, with no exceptions. Always practice with a steady beat to play with. 99% of all funk is in 4/4 time, meaning you count out "1,2,3,4," then repeat the bass line for the next set of four. Set your metronome or practice partner to a comfortable speed on a 4/4 beat and get grooving. Most modern music is in 4/4 -- it should be the most comfortable rhythm for you. Funk is not about playing the most notes or the flashiest lines -- it is about building a danceable, hypnotic groove. Precise timing is more important than wild, ever-changing melodies. The first beat is the most important in funk. You need to hit it perfectly, right on time, every time. If your timing is perfectly on the one, hitting that note with a satisfying, killer "pop," you'll find the beat starts to really move. Look no further than recent funk single "Back to the Future (Part 1)" by D'Angelo and the Vanguard. The bassline is almost only one note, played on every single beat. But, ever so subtly, he plays the first note twice in a row, giving it a subtle but powerful emphasis. The rest of the band is grounded on the one, as is the listener. Funk is built out of 4/4 time, and the first and third notes are the most important. To put a funky spin on any bassline, strip it down to these two notes. Focus on hitting them right on the beat, and don't play any other notes around it. The more precise you are, falling right in line with the drummer, the more funky the groove gets. To start, just find the one or two notes that you need here. Remember -- funk melodies aren't supposed to be so complex you can't dance to them. Find the key of the song by finding the note that works perfectly on the one, and just stick to that for now. If you know several scales uses those to pick notes for the three beat. Check out Parliament Funkadelics' "One Nation Under a Groove." Note how the bassline almost stops after the three -- letting the four go unsaid. This makes the one pop even more when it comes back, breaking the silence. All the rest of the notes are just filler to make the one and three really stand out. Play with how long you let the notes ring out. Try sharp, short notes that "pop" right on the one, then hold the three a little longer. Reverse it. Once you start learning to build a groove with just these two simple notes, you'll be leagues ahead of most beginner bassists. The one and the three form the funky spine, and should always be emphasized over the rest. But the fun comes from the in between. Start improvising a few notes on the two and the four, always coming sharply back to your backbone to keep the groove going. You can fill it out with a scale, you can walk up the fretboard towards the three, or you can play with silences and longer-held notes. Just keep the one and three solid and the rest will fall into place. Listen to Sly and the Family Stones long, incredible instrumental break in "Sex Machine" for a master course from bassist Larry Graham. The one and the three are sharp notes, and he leaves space around them. They hold the groove down. But the two and four are filled with quicker, quieter notes that propel the song forward.

The first place to start is with your local weather. Turn on the local forecast or go online and look up the day's temperature. Be aware of any inclement weather and listen especially for excessive heat or cold warnings. Take note of the temperature if you have an outdoor thermometer. This will give you some idea of the conditions outside. But keep in mind that it doesn't give the whole story: thermometers record the air temperature. They do not register wind chill or heat index, which make it feel colder or warmer than the actual air temperature. Extreme cold can lead to hypothermia, when the body's natural temperature gets too low, or frostbite. The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends that children play inside in temperatures under -25C/-13F However, this is the absolute limit when the skin begins to freeze in only a few minutes. The state of Oklahoma recommends that children play inside when wind chills fall below 10F. However, kids need to come inside for breaks every 20 to 30 minutes when the wind chill is below 32F. In the United States, the National Weather Service will issue a wind chill advisory or warning when wind chills are low enough to pose a threat to human life. If your area is under such a warning, you should definitely keep your kids inside. Very hot conditions can put children at risk of heatstroke, heat exhaustion, burns from hot object like playground equipment, sunburn, and excessive thirst, especially during active play. Have kids stay indoors when temperatures are over 35C - 40C/95F - 100F and wait for it to cool down. If your kids are active, or if you live in a warmer climate, it is a good idea to limit play or exercise to cooler periods in the morning or evening. Avoid playing in hot weather between 10am - 4pm. The National Weather Service issues excessive heat warning and advisories whenever it is hot enough to be hazardous to human health. You should keep your kids inside if your area is under such a warning. Many schools have rules on what temperatures are suitable for outdoor play, and hold indoor recess if it becomes either too hot or too cold. Learn what rules your school has and try following them at home; if outdoor recess is cancelled, you'll know the temperature is dangerous.
