    So I'm chilling and thinking about it and thought I'd ask others opinions. There's various angles to look at e.g. Ciggie/penis mouth/vagina and Freud drops his mike or maybe it's masculine like RARH! I am Man (or masculine aspect of Woman) I will crush up this plant and burn it! And inhale it into me! Roar! Stomp stomp *cough* I could bounce around all night ( just might ) and then there's the deities of the said cigarette involved.

    "It is not known for sure which hominin species created and used Oldowan tools. Its emergence is often associated with the species Australopithecus garhi[7] and its flourishing with early species of Homo such as H. habilis andH. ergaster. Early Homo erectus appears to inherit Oldowan technology and refines it into the Acheulean industry beginning 1.7 million years ago.[8] " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldowan **********stone tool technology !!!!************** The Mode 2 Acheulean toolmakers also used the Mode 1 flake tool method but supplemented it by using bone, antler, or wood to shape stone tools. This type of hammer, compared to stone, yields more control over the shape of the finished tool. Unlike the earlier Mode 1 industries, it was the core that was prized over the flakes that came from it. Another advance was that the Mode 2 tools were worked symmetrically and on both sides indicating greater care in the production of the final tool.[citation needed] One theory goes further and suggests that some special hand-axes were made and displayed by males in search of mate, using a large, well-made hand-axe to demonstrate that they possessed sufficient strength and skill to pass on to their offspring. Once they had attracted a female at a group gathering, it is suggested that they would discard their axes, perhaps explaining why so many are found together.[26] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acheulean *** stone tool technology **** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mousterian The Mousterian (or Mode III) is a techno-complex(archaeological industry) of flint tools associated primarily withNeanderthals, as well as with the earliest anatomically modern humans in Eurasia.

    M24. Tereno. "The origin of tobacco" (Levi-Strauss Mythologiques Vol. 1 1969, p. 100) There was a woman who was a sorceress. She defiled caraguata plants (a Bromeliacex [sic], the central leaves of which are specked with red at the base) with menstrual blood and then served the plants to her husband as food. The husband, having been told about this by his son, announced that he was going into the bush to look for honey. After knocking the soles of his leather sandals together "to find honey more easily," he discovered a hive at the bottom of a tree and snake near by. He kept the pure honey for his son, and for his wife he prepared a mixture composed of honey and the flesh of snake embryos taken from the belly of the one he had killed. No sooner had the woman begun to eat her portion than her body started to itch. As she scratched herself, she announced to her husband that she was about to devour him. He ran away and climbed to the top of a tree where there was a parrot's nest. He kept the ogress quiet temporarily by throwing to her the three nestlings, one after the other. While she was chasing the largest which was trying to flutter away from her, the husband ran off in the direction of a pit that he himself had dug for the purpose of catching game. He avoided the pit, but the woman fell into it and was killed. The man filled in the hole and kept watch over it. An unknown plant eventually sprouted there. Out of curiosity the man dried the leaves in the sun; at nightfall he smoked in great secret. His companions caught him at it and asked what he was doing. Thus it was that men came to have tobacco (original in Baldus 3, pp. 220; 4, p.133.). Here a woman is dominant over man by the power of menstruation; she had the power to devour him but he tricks her, kills her and tobacco is given for man. The original 'natural' relationship (women over man, tobacco is of the earth/feminine) is transformed into a cultural relationship (man over women, dried and smoked tobacco is of culture/masculine), tobacco comes from woman as a natural product but later mediates the relationship of male dominance over women as a cultural product (in Tereno society). 'Giving' gender to objects is more subtle and important than it appears. Any assigning of gender more than as a biological necessity (that is, as symbolism) is cultural (you might argue even biological classification is cultural!). I think others covered that point pretty well above. But I don't think it is arbitrary exactly, nor a rabbit hole within each cultural system, because the gendering of each object is part of total system of categorization of the world in each social formation. In every case the assigning of gender to objects and processes will have some etiology or background conceptual rigidity within the system of the cultural formation in question. That's how culture makes the world, but pluralism is the rule. You can chase pluralism down the proverbial rabbit hole and succeed in an understanding of how and why objects are consistently provided gender by humanity, particularly in mythic thought. TI noted this in the idea of the vitality of dualism, of which human thought makes use to produce a stable reality.

    Fire and air are commonly considered masculine elements unlike earth and water. Some say the oral fixation is like sucking on a dick but then a dick doesnt have an opening on the other side, so sucking on a cigarette is different than sucking on a dick or for instance, a door handle. In my opinion assigning gender where there is arguably none gives arbitrary results. Yes, it is nice to divide things off into pairs to help categorise or create some framework for answering further problems, and male/female is an especially versatile dualism, but the quality you assign to an action or object has no effect on it, except in your mind. Is that what you're asking? In that case the obvious answer is that the cigarette phallic so smoking is feminine, but if you're a male that would make smoking gay.... And yet if i gave my impression, it would be that smoking invokes an enhanced (hetero)sexuality, eg smoking is an adult behaviour, hedonistic, social, visceral.. All point to sexuality. I read somewhere that in earlier times, let's say Napoleon's europe, pink was considered aggressive and therefore hypermasculine.

    Just started growing some of Interbeings seed this year. Also very new to grafting but excited to see iv had some success. I will take more pics and keep you updated. just a couple of pics so far Cuzcoensis 'CC" x Terscheckii hybrid 'Fields'- looks like this may be variegated or albino? Bridgesii 'Ben' x Terscheckii hybrid 'Fields' - have a few of these growing real quick.

    I wonder the same. I think it's definitely a good time for new crosses, there's so many people distributing seeds. What will happen to them all? I'd say a lot will fall to neglect eventually. I mean they take up a lot of space once they get past the first year or two. I'm trying to put as many as I can in the ground so that they establish themselves into mature plants. Hopefully they'll still be around after I'm gone. But I fear that's improbable. People seem more interested in redevelopment so older houses and blocks get bulldozed to make way for modern buildings. People like spooge who are mass planting them are the future Fields/cactus country maybe?

    Pachanoi 'Fields' X pasacana. One of my absolute favourites. Got another one of these variegated. Pachanoi 'Fields' X Roseii #1. Another beauty. I have another one of Interbeing's crosses that I love, bridgesii 'Ben' X macrogonus 'Fields, blue, spiny and absolutely beautiful, but it's in another location, I'll take a photo of it when I get the chance.

    Here's the result of my communication with Koehres.. Koehres answer: hello they are wild collected Bettina Besuchen Sie unsere Webseite: www.koehres-kaktus.de Am 02.12.2014 09:48, schrieb MYSUBTLEASCENTION MYSUBTLEASCENTION: My question: Good morning to you Bettina.. It is important for me to know if those seeds were collected from open pollinated spineless scopulicola plant .. or if they're the result of hand made pollination between two spineless scopulicola parrents.. Thanks for the help ..

    1, have your mother plant well watered, befor taking cuttings. 2, take cuttings, and store them in a container of water, whils't doing it....again, cuttings are stored in water, till further preparation. 3, above cutting goes into the soil, minutes after cutting them, well, callousing, is bad for plants, but good for cacti. 4, you plant plant cuttings without callousing, 41/2, but cacti need callouse.

    make them look like this, it's called a heeled cutting. and you always store the cuttings in a bucket of water, whilst you process them.

    It's fast! mine has doubled it's size in 6 weeks!! Filtered light, humidity and it should be fine. You repot it from the little seedling pot that it came in??

    i was told the T methode and always planted as you said, but not once (in hundresds of cuttings) i saw roots comming out of the (semi)hardwood above the green, so now i prefer L shapes... there are only a few plants which will throw roots above a node, salvia div is one of them, maybe caapi can do it in the extreem tropics. when i did cut T sections, the wood above the green shoot would always just rot away. my green parts never go dormant during probagation.

    another cool little tek is to pull down a low section of vine and pin down each node in the soil or mix and when the majority have taken cut them away from the main vine.
