Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a cereal grain, originally from the Levant region of the Near East and Ethiopian Highlands, but now cultivated worldwide. In 2007 world production of wheat was 607 million tons, making it the third most-produced cereal after maize (784 million tons) and rice (651 million tons). In 2009, world production of wheat was 682 million tons, making it the second most-produced cereal after maize (817 million tons), and with rice as close third (679 million tons).
Wheat is grown on more land area than any other commercial crop and is the most important staple food for humans. World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. Globally, wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein in human food, having a higher protein content than either maize (corn) or rice, the other major cereals. In terms of total production tonnages used for food, it is currently second to rice as the main human food crop and ahead of maize, after allowing for maize's more extensive use in animal feeds.

A man never forgets. A man pays his debts.
100 years ago they were called Samurai.
Separated by blood and centuries - United by a Woman - Now, hurled together against the Yakuza . . . brotherhood of the East.
Harry Kilmer: Everywhere I look, I can't recognize a thing.::Oliver Wheat: It's still there. Farmers in the countryside may watch TV from their tatami mats and you can't see Fuji through the smog, but don't let it fool you. It's still Japan and the Japanese are still Japanese.
Dusty: That guy doesn't like you.::Harry Kilmer: No, not much.::Dusty: So how come you figure you can trust him?::Harry Kilmer: Giri.::Dusty: Gitty?::Harry Kilmer: Giri. Obligation.::Dusty: You mean he figures he owes you something?::Harry Kilmer: Yeah, sort of.::Dusty: Well, that can work two ways, Kilmer. If you ain't alive tomorrow, he don't owe you shit.
Dusty: American saw cuts on a push stroke, Japanese saw cuts on a pull stroke. When an American cracks up, he opens up the window and shoots up a bunch of strangers. When a Japanese cracks up, he closes the window and kills himself. Everything is in reverse.
Goro: Ken is a tormented man. It is Eiko, of course, but it is also Japan. Ken is a relic, a leftover of another age, of another country.
Eiko Tanaka: Did you speak to Ken?::Harry Kilmer: Yeah::Eiko Tanaka: Does he know we are here?::Harry Kilmer: Sure.::Eiko Tanaka: Is he unhappy?::Harry Kilmer: I'm on my way over to see him now.::Eiko Tanaka: But is he unhappy?::Harry Kilmer: Of course he's unhappy, he's been unhappy ever since he lost the war. I keep trying to tell him it's not his fault, he won't take my word for it.
who's the one who love's you like i do
forgiving after all you've put them through
i'm the one who looks the other way
and one and one and one is
yesterday
yesterday you broke from the marine
you had to settle up to keep it clean
funny how it always gets away
and one and one and one is
no one likes it slow
and we take our time
and everyone was rocking but the band
played on
and everyone steers clear
you wear your low stuff low
and no one seemed to notice when we disappeared
and no one liked the cinnamon girl we tried
your love is a parking lot
with potholes and faded lines
and the kids don't hang because
the cops just chase them out
your love is a tow away zone
no parking unless you're willing
to pay the fine
you said we're as close as we
could be
well o.k. maybe you didn't
then you said you wanted intimacy
then you said you had to leave
your love is a chemical plant
ambiguous to the public
it's not secure to our melting
all around things are looking pricier now
though the crowd seems a little spicier now
still holding ground all over town
still some things can't be ironed out
turned around she preferred the rice instead
wait there i'll find my shotgun shells
and aim to blow your top off the pedestal
you're asking me to climb down from my treehouse
and dance
upon the smallest limb
you're asking me to jump and shout and shake
myself to the ground
i fall upon my head i never seem to get
these feet beneath my legs to land up like a cat
who's taken back his lives for ones not going right
i never was that good
i don't want to dance no more
no one ever taught me how
to watch a television
like a baby i knew my candy
no one ever caught me
when i learned to ride a bi-
cycle
and like the pavement em-
braced my skin
no one ever warned me
about that television
now i'm brain-dead at
twenty seven
no one ever mended my
lumps and bruises
and now it's hard to breath
Don't I hold you like you want to be held
And don't I treat you like you want
And don't I love you like you want to be loved
And you're running away
And what's your name
Like I'm in the way
Don't I hold you like you want to be held
Don't I please you like you want
And don't I love you like you want to be loved
And you're running away
And what's your name
Like I'm in the way
And wasting too much time
Don't I
standing on high facing love try
standing on high facing love try
Can I get you to turn
Your eyes from down on me?
Like you've done before
When you're pulling my hair
And turn off quietly
Fall around the floor
Can I get you to trade you wind?
For diamonds and seas, stock violins
Your 'I don't know anything's
Could I trust you to fall?
From my grace sometimes
Like some enemy
Like you don't understand
And scrunch your face sometimes
Lose your vanity
Could I get you to trade you wind?
For diamonds and seas, stock violins
Your 'I don't know anything's
It's no landslide
My balloon
It's no landfall
My balloon; falling
My platoon; calling
And I have dozens of promises
Fragrant sponts in the monitior
So now (I) can keep my composure most times
And I'm not not falling apart
At the priceless points of the problems
And crumble only when prompted to now
I've braving the longest spring of my life
Tempted
When I get tempted to lie
I'm a responsible neophite
I like a journey allright
And everyone gets what they want
Everyone gets what they want, all the time
Everyone gets what they want
Even Me
Even Me
Even Me
What will you say when he comes home
Will you try to cover your tracks
I can't say that I'd blame you for that
What will you do when he asks you
Will the words fall out of your mouth
I can't say that I'd believe you now
More than you'll ever know
What will you do when you're through
Will you try to take it all back
I can't say that that would change the facts
What will you do when you're alone
Will you try to renew your vows
Got a wall inside you somehow
You keep it covered up
When the phone rings
Got a wall inside you now
But you keep it covered up
And build a wall inside you
But you keep it covered up
Got a house up above it
Somehow you keep it covered up
Down inside you got a wall around
Somehow you keep it covered up
Down inside you
And roll the road beside the water
Down inside you
But you keep it covered up
And think oh well
Down beside you
But you keep it covered up
I think oh well
Down beside you
Got a new, boyfrend
To lean against
Like an old T-shirt
Gettin older
It's the micrscope
I miss the most
Got a new, boyfriend
And I'm the old
It's the long goodbye's
And the short hello's
Got a new boyfriend
We all want a second
Got an hour
Twenty-one year
We all want a second
Got an hour
Twenty-one feeling
Lie to me
Now you don't
Cling to the floor
Won't you know?
Honestly
Now you wait a second
You're dead
You all form a circle
Spread love around
Sonny, you won't hear it
We all form a circle
Spread love around
Twenty-one feeling
Dance for me
Now you don't
Cling to the floor
State your man
Honestly
Now you wait a second
You're dead
Dance for me
Now you won't
Cling to the floor
Won't you man?
Honestly
Now you wait a second
You can get out any time that you want to
You can get out any time that you want to
You can get out any time that you want to
Come on
Spread love around
Twenty-one year
We all form a circle
Spread love around
No one else around
I was searching for zero today
I was pressing rewind and play
I was hoping that something would stay.
I remember the time
I was washing my hands and face
i was starting a drinking day
Praying someone with an ounce of faith
Playing host to the blind.
Bows and arrows and Indians
We're all livign the cowboy way
I remember my hereos that way.
I remember them fine.
Life still applies
Life still applies
Life still applies
Though the plastic cups showed up late
There was still cause to celebrate.
when it needed to settle down
I had to step out of line.
You can turn it around
You can fake it buy you can't pretend.
You can part with your discontent
You can turn it around
Life still applies
Life still applies
Life still applies.
(everytime i look around)
life still applies
(everytime i look around)
life still applies
I was searching for zero today
I was pressing rewind and play
I was hoping that something would stay
I'll remember the times
I'll remember the times
Don't be surprised there once was a line
All scuffed up and blurry it erased over time
Don't even try getting away
Go get the cops
Why don't you stop thinking it over?
Thinking it over, thinking it over.
One at a time, I'll knock them down
All of your friends when they come around
Before you go out in Saturday's best
I want the house, the house is a mess
If I knock your lights out, would you feel out of place?
Why don't you stay, we've got tonight
Come back inside
When you're ready to fight
Why don't you stop, rolling your eyes
And thinking it over
I left my rounds behind
I used to fall down and all your kindness kept me on
I used to be cruel and all your compassion kept me warm
Sometimes she moves in time and she really moves
She's catching her breath but she's changing her mind
And goodbye to rose my queen of corona
She really moves she's got to fly
I used to move all of your laughter gave me form
This girl went home yesterday early
They all thought she was faking
To take a good hard look at herself
And the choices she was making
Like the man thought
When he found out he had lost
All the money he was making
My hands are possibly slipping
I may have lost what I was gripping
And someone with strengths
For all the little things you make
My feet are possibly slowing
I may have lost where I was going
Water falls so softly under sea
I feel like my hands are finally free
Give me a chance
So I can finally see
Leave but come home soon
And can you get me something?
And I don't usually break many promises I make
It's just sometimes I could use a little shove
These are things I did for my love
These are things I did for my love
These are things I
Hey can you go wrong
More times than you thought you could be?
Running on streaks of no money I'll be
Too far to catch you up if you should need.
Because your heart's breaking, your mouth's shaking
Your eyes are full and high
For now I've got to look out for me.
Wasted....
Take a look around
Is your look in the mirror clearer than it used to be?
Still running on streaks of no money no sleep
And no friends to get you off if you should need.
Because your heart's breaking your mouth's shaking.
Your eyes are full and high. And the handshake was a mistake
When you wished you said goodbye
For now I've got to look out for me.
And life sure passes you by
when you're living in living rooms
Maybe you should find a place of your own
Maybe find another place.
Because your heart's breaking, your mouth's shaking
Your eyes are full and high & the handshake was a mistake
And you wished you said goodbye
Lost your last name, missed your last train
And your rides just said goodbye
For now I've got to look out for me
Grown-ups sometimes get their fill of sleeping pills
and end up on the brink after drinking all night.
Rental cars & topless bars, sit underneath the radar just a bit.
And to make it all right so make it all right
Make it all right it's bearable
So make it all right make it all right it's bearable
These are things I did for my love
These are things I did for my love
These are things I did for my love
Hey listen let's slow down
I love to keep you company
And without putting other lovers down
We're like a human symphony
And we hang around the same town
For your family and for your friends
And some days love takes its time
And I don't know a thing about it
And some days you change your mind
Because I sure change my mind a lot about you
And most days we don't regret
And most words we say are true
And we force each little step
When something anything would do
And some days love takes its time
And I don't know a thing about it
And some days you change your mind
Because I sure change my mind a lot
And some days everything's fine
And I can't see the forest
All this time that love takes I still believe
So why can't we
And we hang around the same town
For your family and for your friends
And some days love takes its time
And I don't know a thing about it
And some days you change your mind
Because I sure change my mind a lot
And some days everything's fine
I don't know a thing about it
I tried hard to live without it
All I do is think about it
I don't know what I'd do without it
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
Everyone stands on the corner promiscuously
Looking like something to fight, something to beat
Did anyone else see that girl who was pulling away?
Like if she pulled off to the side, I'd have something to say
I said, I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
And you've got permission
To see other men while you sleep
And we wage perpetual war for perpetual peace
One says, "Hey, what gets with you?"
The other says, "What gets with you?"
It's the pace that gets to you, all right
She said, "I met a girl, I'd like to know better"
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
And it's so, so long
When you're so, so wrong
We interweave so much that we've lost a bit of solid ground
An' all for a kiss, the things that we miss are leveling out
An' I waste my time, question it, drag my heels a bit
Forever pressures me, now I want to be
Wrapped in rhythm, soul, space and rock and roll
Nothing appeals to me like bottoming out
And I erase time, sleep a bit, smoke the rest of it
Because time don't mean a thing without
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I would've walked behind
I would've walked beside you
I would've told you every lie
I would've done that just for you
Open your eyes sometime
It's funny how I adore you
Gonna get every line just fine
I'll even sing it for you now
There was a time I felt
The morning sun rose up to you
I would've whispered in your ear
I would make coffee for you
I would have crossed that line
I could have drawn it for you
Tell me that everything is fine
Couldn't you do that for me
Because I'm a fan
from way back when you faltered
waiting for your man
if you can remember
I was standing there with you
Wouldn't you say
That I've been a idiot for you
I couldn't shake you if I tried
I light a candle for you
somehow the time flies by
And I haven't done it for you
And I haven't solved a single thing
And I haven't done it for you
Summer love moves fast
you get a little slower when the fall moves past
but you'll never find another love like my love
Winter slows the pace
spring brings the summer back to your face
but you'll never find another love like my love
I'm getting along now that I found salvation not
that I've found salvation
[Come on]
I wasn't there I guess [Come on]
I wrote down the wrong address
I wish I was I confess
I was in the way I guess
[Come on]
I was standing outside too long [Come on]
Coming on way too strong
You needed an alibi
But I was inside and high
So breathe for me now
Because I can't find the air
And every time I look around
It's like I wasn't there
You know I can't breathe
And I suppose it's a fool who tries to share
It's never what you want to be somehow
[Come on]
This was the pill the place
And I wanted smiles your face I
In trying to keep good time
I wasn't what I tried
So breathe for me now
Because I can't find the air
And every time I look around
It's like I wasn't there
You know I can't breathe
And I suppose it's a fool who tries to share
It's never what you want to be somehow
So breathe for me now
So breathe for me now
Because I can't find the air
And every time I look around
It's like I wasn't there
You know I can't breathe
And I suppose it's a fool who tries to share
It's never what you want to be somehow
You plan to stand right next to me for now
It's never what you want to be somehow
little white dove

little white dove

mama's be cool when she's runnin round
daddies be cool when he's deep
and babies be cool tucked away in their beds asleep
and if i built a boat

you'd be standin here
right in front of me
(layer 2)
of my impression
its gonna give me some competition
(layer 3)
(you fly) faster or longer
i hope you dont get much stronger
I was talking with some friends
When the heavens fell around me
So I had to stop and catch a drink
This falling down by law
In rivers all around me
Plus your name came up I think I thought
Do you really want me
Do you really want me
Because I really really want you
It began to rain
You let your guard down slightly
Must have let things drop too far
And I was falling all around
You held my hand so tightly
But you had to stop
I hold my heart when you hold my hand
And I get high and I understand
And I get high every chance I can
Spending some time with some friends of mine
Talking to ourselves about it
I was thinking about what they said tonight
How could I begin to doubt it
Because maybe I'd just forgotten
When you used to be around
I just hope we can be the same somehow
Because I finally feel I'm onto you now
I finally feel I'm onto you now
God I feel I'm falling now
So take all that you've learned and all that you've lived to understand
That it takes all that I have and all that I know just to hold on
You were spending your time defending
My air and your attire
Well maybe we're just pretending after all
Now the winter session's ending
I can see you now
I just hope we can be the same somehow
Because I finally feel I'm onto you now
I finally feel I'm onto you now
God I feel I'm falling now
So take all that you've learned and all that you've lived to understand
That it takes all that I have and all that I know just to hold on
It's good to find the truth it's hard to find
Just don't let yourself run out of time
I know that your world's your world and my world is mine
But I finally feel I'm onto you now
I finally feel I'm onto you now
God I feel I'm falling
So take all that you've learned and all that you've lived to understand
That it takes all that I have and all that I know just to hold on
Sat right close for a year and a half
You were getting pretty close to the people in the back
And I was there when your guard had dropped
I was too tired to bend too tired to stop
Could've ran when the lights went out
But I was working real hard at working things out
Plus it got pretty late and I was shot
You were listening so close
I was not
Hey so long you take so long
Hey so long you take so long
Hey so long you take so long
Hey so long, hey so long
When I was younger and we were all there
You were feeling all right blowing kisses in the air
And I went outside and made a move upstairs
Where you put me in the mood for love
I mean you were wearing your welcome out
I mean you weren't even thinking about how the rest of us felt
And I had a hard time to recall all those things that you still had
And I had not
Hey so long you take so long
Hey so long you take so long
Hey so long you take so long
Way after I'm done saying
Go tell your friends if you want
They know me I can't afford you
Go tell your perfect friends
That we don't want for nothing
And we don't want for days
And you can save it all for something
And you carry it all away
And you believe what you want to believe for now
Fantastic is how I'm feeling
Go tell all your friends that I mean to
Don't lead them all away
Falling off is what I lean to
And we don't want for nothing
And we don't want for days
And you can spend it all for something
And you can put it all away
And you can spend it off tomorrow
What you don't carry off today
And carrying counts for something
When you can give it all away
And you can sell it off for something
Most people are so easy to persuade
And when everyone resorts to thinking
And they get carried all away
And you believe what you want to believe
Want to believe
And I hope god will mend
The little things I break and bend
soft polluted blacks
starting to return
starting to relax
sun'll rise and burn
used to be hard enough
when she broke down
when things got bad
used to be good enough
when she got sad
all the lights and smoke
all the mice and men
all her boyfriend's coke started kicking in
used to be hard enough
when she broke down
when things got bad
used to be good enough
Where'd you go?
What place?
Was it really where you wanted to be after all?
Where'd you learn that face?
She never used to stand so tall
You better use it or you're gonna lose it
Where'd you go?
What place?
Was it really where you wanted to be after all?
Where'd you learn that face?
She never used to stand so tall
You better use it or you're gonna lose it
Everyone keeps telling me that
but I don't think I'm gonna use it
half a mile or so
either way, outside of our house
it's where the river runs cold
and the desert lies free and easy
And don't I hold you like you want to be held?
And don't I treat you like you want?
And don't I love you like you want to be loved
And you're running away
What's your name
Like I'm in the way
And don't I hold you like you want to be held?
Don't I please you like you want?
And don't I love you like you want to be loved
And you're running away
What's your name
Like I'm in the way
We waste too much time
Don't I
Don't I
Don't I
Can I get you to turn
Your eyes from down on me?
Like you've done before
When you're pulling my hair
And turn off quietly
Fall around the floor
Can I get you to trade you wind?
For diamonds and seas, stock violins
Your 'I don't know anything's
Could I trust you to fall?
From my grace sometimes
Like some enemy
Like you don't understand
And scrunch your face sometimes
Lose your vanity
Could I get you to trade you wind?
For diamonds and seas, stock violins
Your 'I don't know anything's
It's no landslide

It's no landfall
My balloon; falling

My balloon; falling
Where'd you go?

Everyone keeps telling me that
but I don't think I'm gonna use it
half a mile or so
either way, outside of our house
it's where the river runs cold
and the desert lies free and easy
and i'm not free and easy
Got a new, boyfrend
To lean against
Like an old T-shirt
Gettin older
It's the micrscope
I miss the most
Got a new, boyfriend
And I'm the old
It's the long goodbye's
And the short hello's
Got a new boyfriend
And I'm the old
What will you say when he comes home
Will you try to cover your tracks
I can't say that I'd blame you for that
What will you do when he asks you
Will the words fall out of your mouth
I can't say that I'd believe you now
More than you'll ever know
What will you do when you're through
Will you try to take it all back
I can't say that that would change the facts

I can't say that I would need you now
