    awesome greek music

    greeks are alright, as long they're not they regular greek idiots... greece having so many islands, and villages and being mountainous and all still reserves some "authenticity" OK I choose to see Greece as the place, the waters, soil, mountains, woods, flora and animals. thats greece. also greece is a place in the map... greek culture, now its another things and its funny/interesting/whatever that such a small country would have so many differences from town to town and island to island... I still dont see something to be proud of... OK greece is a cool country... feeling LUCKY, but not PROUD, to be here at this place, this time... lucky lucky sagi here a song legend composer sing 3 songs in a row

    So you were born in greece? how old did you leave to oz? too many issues here to discuss... 1. I could never understand ethnic pride. why be proud about something that is totally random. I guess its easy to be proud of being greek if you only come here for holidays... 2. new arrivals (new immigrants) aint so strange to "hate" greece... I mean, their home-land more or less forced them to leave. Kicked them out... I could have left years ago. But I love it here. sea, mountains, perfect weather for gardening... Berlin is nice, but..... 3. I dont hate Greece, but I am not proud to be greek ... If something, a greek should be ashamed of the low-levels this ancient civilization has reached... So I dont hate greece, but I dont really "like" greeks.. would be nice to have a second homeland, and in a way , I consider Berlin,Germany it.. (have lived for couple months there) 4. what ever ones' say, immigrants are doomed to slowly loose their bonds with the homeland, especially if they dont visit at all. 1st generation immigrants are still 'greeks' that slowly hybridise, but greekness or whatever fades in second gen people.. Nationality is one of the most overrated things... Now culture is another thing. 5. Be proud of what you have archieved on your own! 6. I have a friend that moved to oz and is a new arrival. She was born in oz though and left when one, so she had the nationality. I think she is Melbourne .. her son is still here, but I think he will be going there sometime soon..

    This section needs a "show wild finds" thread

    the tuft, ringed one could be either Armillaria sp or Pholiota sp...maybe
  4. ^^^ should root easily since it was on a stock. could easily make two of them even ants have been stealing most of my seed last couple of years they take both the seed and fruit flesh that was not true for mandrake fruit though - they seemed totally indifferent to the seeds, but so inclined to the sweet flesh I haven't been picking my lopho seed either, maybe I am stupid or rather lazy Hmmmm liquid ant baits.... I wonder if that works... I have a huge problem with ants in my roof: nearly all pests are helped by them http://www.terro.com/ants-common-species interesting stuff... I wonder how many species I got around here.... At last 3-4 I would say...

    oh really greek or a 2nd generation ozzie-greek hybrid? ever been in greece? "patrida einai ekei poy einai h kardia" (greeklish) it might be cool to claim you are greek when you are abroad but really only nationalists feel that "proud" way when living here... if you ask me, its good to be greek to come every few years for holidays and its even better to have a second nationality.. FUCK GREECE ;)
  7. of course I am.. I have been training this year to be so awesome and from time to time, drink up and be a dick or a cunt, this way they dont think you're a fucking hippy or a saint you can actually make people be afraid of what might come out of your mouth, if you're good enough..

    Show off your freaks

    2 small echinopsis seynesii crests and azurocereus/plosocereus crest were cut and rooted by me. not fast like trichocereus, but pretty doable. actually the echinopsis , when I received it as a gift to some other order, there where two parts of it that should be buried, in order to pot it up. I refused to do this, I cut the 2 parts, let callous for some time, and rooted them and now I got 3 of them! another brand of echnopsis, crest and slightly variegata.. one would think so small cuttings (also done by me) would be impossible to root and rather wither and die... well, it seems not! (note this is after they have taken a bit, so they were pretty smaller when potted Nice shits from a columnar pachanoi monstrosa specimen (main column has terminated some time ago so all growth is boosted in those pups) [/url] Stenocereus marginatus crest, going normal... This is a very handsome specimen at this point, at least the left one... I have no big experience with crests that go normal.. Its usually suggested to cut them normal parts... Have people cut and rerooted the column parts, to perhaps see the column reverting some time afterwards? I remember cutting the first column off a pachanoi crest, but this clone (see above) pertains the monstrosity in column form, as it alternates between normal and monster appearance, or terminates at some point. But I have had this marginatus crest strain for less than a year so I dont really know whats the score. I could use some knowledge or opinions, as I have more than one paradigms I could use this on. I also bought an azureocereus/pilosocereus crest with a part normal growth, now cut this off and rooting.. Should be also interesting to help ID the species, if it doesn't go crest a lot with the real myrtillocactus geometrizans crest (melty type) the other blue crest supposed being myrti has also produced some thinny columns. I rooted that , it started pupping like crazy, but still no monstrosity. I cut the new little columns, for rooting , again... obviously I am hoping the culumns might revert to crest at some point...
  9. Philo> "melted wax" semi-monstrosa is a named clone deriving from US I think, erect, columnar and monster, sometimes terminates and does interesting shit. Reason I said yours doesn't look so much like it is that your seems to terminate more / show wilder monster traits.. Your specimen kind of looks like something between a clone-A penis TBM and "melted wax semimonstrosa" or it could be its something like a melted wax but growth was stunt for years due to clay pot and neglect.. I would like love to see how it evolves after you repot it a nice largish pot. here are my 4 initial TBCM's , one's freshly repotted and recentered... Have you noticed TBMCs have less of a up-down orientation compared to other crests/monsters? The phenotype it self sometime forcesd the plant to make pups that decicively go downwards here's the first specimen I propagated through rooting. It rooted pretty fast, cutting was off a graft though (I have noted that cuttings off grafts root faster , statistically, compared to those coming from own root specimens) and here are 4 so far penises coming from TBMCs ... The fat one is areole-less
  10. nah, I am more like a stoned and drunk hippy on low dose psychs and on speed . no single drug could describe me. and certainly no anesthetic... sagis-fire-multi-talented-mofos
  11. yeah coloured flesh can be tricky... I remember when I first tried to graft off a ario kotso graft, gifted to me and it was purple inside and I threw it away thinking it had rotted, lol!

    Stenocactus thread

    http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/ECHINOFOSSULOCACTUS/Echinofossulocactus_wippermannii/Echinofossulocactus_wippermannii/Echinofossulocactus_wippermannii.htm it seems wippermanii is synonym with crispatus ;) cactus art seems to have fucked up the names though, as it also feats non S.lamellosus specimens as also synonyms with crispatus.. I had bought some specimens of cactus art which were mislabeled too...

    Stenocactus thread

    This not so well known genus is one of my faves and it might be The fave if I did not deslike the #1 fave attitude, since I love so many kinds of plants in different wayz. lol They used to call them Echinofossulatus, but I think this name sucks 'Stenocactus' means 'narrow cactus' and indeed Stenocacti have characteristic narrow and wavy ribs, some times over 50 of them which is pretty unlike other cacti and most of the times this is more or less visible on the cactus surface. This makes them pretty distinguishable as for their genus and if you read up a bit, you will know when you see one. So Stenocacti deserve to be more well known, as well as having their own thread. Additionally, for the freeks that tend to crowd fora like this, a trivia info / tip, is that given the flower shape and slow, spherical at first, elongated later body shape, there is a small possibility they might be able to cross with some turbinicapri with similar flower shapes. http://postimage.org/'> http://postimage.org/'> http://postimage.org/'> http://postimage.org/image/kadmp0xhb/'> Stenocacti are known to have hybridised widely in cultivation, probably in nature too, and often, if not almost always is its difficult to tell different species. The Sagittarius in me always saw this as more of a positive thing, rather than a bad thing. Because if you can spot un-named stenocacti cheap, you needn't buy them at 3 times the price as named stenocacti that 70% of the times will be the wrong phenotype from what you expected anywayz. But its more than this. This is genus is indeed varied but sometimes you got a plant that fits a species, well pretty much, like S. lamellosus family, [grows faster, tend to be more elongated than spherical early on, has awesome and pretty biggy carmine coloured flower , distinct from other white purple striped ones . S. multicostatus is also sought after as it has the largest number of ribs, and prettey sparce and relatively weak spination reaveling its ribs- often some the most handsome Stenocacti, irregardless the flowers, are those that the body surface ribs, so characteristic in the genus are prominent by the lack of spination or their sheer number alone [multicostatus is reported to have upt o120 ribs!] So the multicostatus gene is perhaps seen in specimens with sparce spination and large number of ribs. If you ask me, get those specimens and make plants from their seeds. It might be the key species to the genus beauty. Moreover, if you you like the taxonomy and identification game, Stenocacti offer a wide range of characteristics, always maintaining the spherical shape and flower shape and style - the strip in the petals, which is common to some turbinis btw. What is interesting is that , like with turbinicarpus, there are some species that produce smaller flowers. Also some have so dense spination and/or fluffy areoles that the body is hidden. other varied characteristics include awesome variety of spines: from transparent radials to blackish, to yellowish, some times softer, almost papery, other times hard and solid, wide and - blade like most of the times , but with a variety of peripheral or more needle like , sometimes they are pretty long, in general a very pretty genus phenotype. They got beautiful flowers too - and they often flower twice a year! [ like Turbinicarpi] what more could a cactus lover expect from a tiny plant? - well you understand why indeed its a valid question to woner if they indeed hybridise with Turbs. Especially when they hybridise so well in species level themselves, which actually makes them wonderful to experiment with alone. Cheers

    awesome greek music

    Ahhhh Kalymnos... a poor island, compared to most of its neighbouring islands.... Rumoured to feature some of the most traveled people (lots of immigrants to all the world) and some of the most crazy people... Am considering leaving, but its too early to tell... I might stay here and live the real thug life! Some doctor friend found an amazingly well paid job in oz, but his wife doesn't want to go, even for a year or so.. PS: greeks are everywhere, but you know, greeks are idiots... If I ever came to oz, it would be for you people!

    its okey I guess.. I am considering leaving , lol!
  16. The title and poll says it all. you might find it funny or weird for me, but I cannot deny I can see something more than coincidences in regards with zodiac signs. I also cannot deny I tend to search more about zodiac signs and try to find out their validity when I am interested in a girl. I mean, really interested. What interests me most is the psychological profile of the signs, I mean the general characteristics of the signs, and not a yearly, monthly, weekly prediction/consultation stuffs, of course. It's just , in some people and especially in some signs, that the coincidences are too much. So, what is your sign of the Zodiac? I am an Archer.

    maybe crispatus X lammelosus, really this could even be a f7 cross with multiple species as contributors...

    Stenocactus thread

    you can pride on the fact you got a steno with little spines so the body shows and its a beauty in that way! the most astonishing factor IMO with the bofdy pheno of stenos is when you realise how many actual ribs its got... the less/ sparcer the spination, the most evident the body is... but then again, stenos have got such an array of beautiful , different spines!

    Stenocactus thread

    well according to some book I am inclined to trust, which describes several species of Stenos, Stenos in horticulture are hybridised... you species looks like some specimens I have grown and I would place them in the status of Stenocactus cf crispatus... most of the times you need to grow out the specimen more, then be able to describe or try to, yr specimen its definately not multicostatus, it needs certain flowers and more than a lot ribs ! I should scan and share those notes at some time, an english book from a UK expert
  20. or maybe I should get a cat and a tattoo of a cat: I have been deciding this for over 7 years!!

    Mandrake cultivation discussion

    yep their dormant and was thinking about what doing with them... I will "dig\em'up" them all - suspect mealies on the roots so it might not be very pretty I intend to offer a couple pics when'there's something nice will do this soon though.... I suppose the ones in the tray died, no???? lets wait for next automn... dunno how much I am willing for some real automn mushroom hunt in the woods! PS: always strange to have opposite climates/hemispheres, but it adds a cerain supence, no??? you scorpio freak, more than any, I trust you more, as I already had a scorpio girlfriend... I know your projects are not game, they're aimed and deeply motivated, usually.. in the archetypical sco....
  22. I really doing thing the wrong way for some time but yeah I have, I need some way to get through... but its more social than anything, while i might have turnt to an antisocial, well , more antisocial as I were think I should call that mate of mine....
  23. Did you notice what she did? she did me a free psychanalysis which I can read over and over these days ,,, should tell ya thing before I go on babling about whatever... yeah it kind of fits... within these last 2 weeks I had a great fight (again in these last 2-3 years) with an old friend. we also did this variably intense dilaogue with friend (too complicated to really narrate) but it really started with me insulted by her saying I dont have emotional intelligence, lol... (and I even mentioned Leo to her, as she understand astrology) to tell her how I was insulted... 3 days after? I am full of ideas arguements, well somethings start things! luv chaos!! At some point I told her I am not like other leos that take pride, are insulted but just dont show it! I told her I am a sagi, and if I am pissed off, which happens rarely, I wont get a straight face easily, so dont bug me more and that stuff... (they were trying both to sweeten me up) LUCKILY then she got into a thing with something her ex said, my only sagi friend, and she was "insulted" or what it something I created with my non existing emotional intelligence? so I manipulated the situation .... to and even blackmailed her tell her, so you wanna go do this further, to see how emotional "insult" gets? [point being was that she thought the sense of insult was not an emotional thing, but rathre a logical] btw she is a happy Aries/Taurus sun hybrid with a colourfoul natal chart and with 2 Leo parents, so she know whats Leo pride... even the pride that is hidden,..... well I am a sagix2 so I dont ALWAYS hide it... my pride.... we sagis are egoists alright, sure, how else could you be fucken optimist bozo? depending on the wonderful society, mankind, social justice?? no fuckers, optimism is Jupiter and sagitarrians... its an astrological coincidence! and to make you thing its 9th house and philosophies and shit.... we are are really the center of luck , thus hope. us Jupitarians! Listen to what the fuck we say! 3 days after? I am full of ideas arguements, well somethings start things! luv chaos!! whats really emotional intelligence???? my emotional intelligence might not really be as tight as the logical one, but really, now many kinds of intelligence are there?? sure my emotional intelligence was disturbed, but I kind of retrieved it! (kind of) I was not fucked in the ass though, I was just born from a cold and hurt mother never saw my parents kiss, dont remember them do this..... dont rememeber never them doing wooochy-woochy stuff ... not never... no wonder my first real tender emoitions came in interactions with cats! cats are so easily physical...!! we should be like cats!!
  24. very interesting and thanks.. TI you flatter me... expert in the combo? OK, yeah If I manage to have eaten something or more, If I am really eaten up, I can beat any mother fucker in the local league... I can certainly beat most nowadays with empty stomach but so what? SO, IN other sobering up 3rd synergy to the beer-bot combo, especially when I had no more beer (put 3-4 mushrooms in some wine and let it sip, then let it be my last drink of the night) I have managed to experiment and maybe misuse powerful teaching material in a cheap way, as I was so lucky, blessed by some spirit, maybe that of Jupiter conjunct with Mars in 9th House, me being a SagiXSagi - so I used lots of that eaching material, knowing I was wasting it, especially when redosing in low doses for hours , and I notably did this in parties of every kind with the only sagi friend of mine, it really ruled, we had fun EVERY TIME... we used it in some stupid "psychedelic coke" way, low doses, 1~5 mushrooms , or 2-3 muchrooms every hour or so, in an alcoholic party situation. this low dose thing, despite it doesnt really agree iwth alcohol, it surely relieves hangover symptoms, in contrast to the occsaion you didnt ate the shroomiez. It can really shine if there's a crowd involved, in a beach party / where you can consciously give 2-3 mushrooms to each willing interested fellow raver (you know the average content only of a familiar material, and that's what you MIGHT give away , to dancers around the party that YOU must judge they would take it and love it, and simultaneusly be sure that those that who wouldn't take it wouldnt take much, which would be the average portion "given away".... thing is you have to judge faces when you are doing this, remember you are definately not giving away psychedelic doses, only portions , usually some 1/8 ~ 1/6 of a the supposed full dose of the said strain.... I would be talking bohemicas hier with 1-3 then another 2-3 , maybe another round if there's more - but you, know, judging with each species/strain which implies you have to have tested them after all you're give low doses to persons you just met .... to EACH that , and no MORE.... now if a couple come after after a while you might give them a bit more.... redosing at low and then mid doses might be wasteful and stupid, but it could get you really psychedelated eventually , its somewhat surprising , then strange and often dark, when you find out you took too much of the shit to supposedly settle down, eat and sleep , and now you're in a semi-trip , thinking somewhat strangle and darkish, and maybe that yr wasting psilo-bandwidth and tolerance..... ... this happened to me a couple times, not real trips, not really dark, but bluish , interesting , some times fun, some times very experimental and always no real suprises! dunno if woodearz are more teacher , blue visio - or stricter wtf, but I only know woodlovers and they treat me fine as I treat them with respect (excluding the occsaional abuse of the divine material) : consider the dose to be starting from 0,5-07. grams more recently (some year ago?) in an alcoholic-pot-mdpv-psylocyblin night (awesome night!) , ending up to a club playin techno-house , where I proceeded to give away my years (remaining) stash of local found magic ones to the owner, DJ, crew and the most dancers that were getting in to the thing... (even got back home to get the rest with a fellow dancer) and everyone interested .... I rocked on while enjoying free drinks... I was fucking so drunk when they invided me to an after party, but I was really a corpse , too bad i missed that ... CHILLIZ>>>>>>>> TI, synergies are magic.... it certainly happens... but it happens when you overDO it, when you take / eat more than you aimed for I still eat it in food dont play the badass to see how much I take, well not yet but when you get really hot and sweaty, and you had been really drunk and stoned before, its really something how you seem to straighten up or kind of sober up , but not really sober up, like leveling up, calibrating, in a way you are ready for sleep afterwards.... and it really helps is hot summers , y'know...... chilli peppers are a natural self-cooling concept.... no need for fans (avoid them due to mysceletical problems - plus I can take heat ) and all-heartily dont agree with airconditioning, or it doesnt agree with me... even if you hadn't really enought to eat, if you fire it up, it will come a satisfying in the end... IME, the state of mind really changes if you eat so much as to slightly challenge current tolerance,,, it changes in sober state of minds, so why wouldn't it in a much more compicated inebriated situation + spiced up food . ciao and spice it up!
  25. Some friend of mine that actually got me into peppers says that when he is drunk or stoned, or even better both, there is a great synergy with chillis.... something like a sobering effect (at first) , but not really... In the past he said he used small doses of ypsiloncybin to round and conclude the drinking and smoking he is now saying chillis work best in the food without no psychoactive effects but he sure notes the psychoactivity in chillies and humanz interaction ===== So chilli / capsaicin synergy, any cool stories?
