    Holy crap guys! I come back from work and my inbox is full of requests and plenty in this thread too!! On sunday I'll make a full list of what I have on offer and post it here and the classifieds section and send a copy to anyone that pm'ed me. Ill probably work out prices on a case by case basis for most things, because by the looks of it most people are interested in multiple items, so it'll be easier to do it that way i think. And you're right trichpatch about ebay - its where my first one came from, and you see them there all the time. As for the brugs I have White B. aurea, white ceulebra (not much though), peach/apricot B. candida (i think) and the hybrids are from seed I got from Incog I think, which from memory was a cross between a white and a pink - unsure of the species though, and I have two small individuals, which ill probably sell the whole plants - never had flowers on them though as they are too small. Ill have a crack at some more iboga cuttings, the last ones I only got one out of 3 to take, but Iv refined my technique a bit and should have more luck. They wont do well in temperate (or even cool climates - they suffer in townsville winter), but if you have a hot house or your house is warm inside you can bring them in over winter (they like humidity though, so keeping them enclosed is a good idea). I would make a bush garden, but the soil here is solid clay, that turns to mud when we get our month or two of continuous rain in summer. The rest of the year its so desolate the soil is hydrophobic and rock hard. Im probably going to try and keep a cutting or two of everything for myself, or just the stumps, so they should grow back, but if I lose anything in the process Ill probably hit you guys up to try and buy some cuttings back =] Thanks again guys - I love this place XD Ps I can send to WA and tassie and maybe overseas, but of course this is at the buyers risk (but Im pretty sure everything Iv sent to all of those places has made it in the past)

    I remember I had an Heated argument with a mate once (over a girl) , was all water over the bridge when myself and a few friends, including said mate decided to listen to some subswoofers. Anyways well into the nice bass tensions started to rise, and as u know things can get quite telepathic. Within seconds the DARKEST mood arose, an it was like the bassytune was WILLING on violence, like egging it on. Without being conscious of it we where sizing each other up, it was inevitable to us that violence was the only way, with every part Of the tune behind it. I kinda came to and was like "hey man do u really want to do this? Is this for real?" which kind of snapped him out of it as well, and he was like "fuken hell what is happening" it ended up with - I don't really want to fight, do you? No, but do you? Was really quite a dark moment- there was no fear at all, it all just seemed very natural and law of nature'esque with the subies bass pumping it out of us bringing it to a climax. I'm glad it never happened because I believe it would of been a horrific event. I mean the new subsystem had us so pumped up, felt so powerful that I could just punch through a brikwall, my mate reported afterward he also had that sensation. We where basically prepared to tear each other apart. Non of my other friends said a thing, they said they where terrified, that there was such a dark ominous energy in the room that you could not cut with a knife. They also noted that as quick and heavy as it was, it disappeared just as quickly when we snapped out of it, it was just so out of our control. Funny since then all that tension has left our relationship and we r best buddies again.

    blue lotus extract, perhaps stick around here even if you are deemed unpopular, you may learn a few things about ethnobotany (a topic you must at least be interested in a little bit) and ethics, which surely will improve your business practices and may even eventually redeem your reputation. i am inclined to believe what bread filter says, he has never raised any other suspicion, so i think if your 'friends' in the incense world have told you he has wronged them perhaps they have ulterior motives, which would not be surprising for characters in that game. perhaps if you stick around here a while and contribute something other than drama, you too will oneday garner the loyalty that is awarded to members like bread filter. to all the newer members getting worked up in this thread, it isn't worth your time, shady members come and go often, best focus on the good ones. peace edit: post #420

    I think it's rather marvellous that someone can camp out on the steps of parliament house, exclaim to the world they are taking illegal drugs, do it in plain view, and then not get arrested! The next journey should definitely get filmed for youtube, it could go viral, especially with a title like that. I still think making up an Aya brew would be more educational for the general public, though.

    If there is at least one lesson to be learned here... It's not to misrepresent yourself and come clean from the start... You said you wanted to avoid all of 'this drama'. Not only did you fail to do that, you've confused your product and destroyed consumer confidence.

    I've a question for my more experienced cactus growers:- I see Epiphyllum cactus that have taken to the highest most reaches of trees. They grow quickly and have lost all attachment to the soil. Whilst tree lopping from an Elevated Work Platform the thought struck me of grafting small ground dwelling cactii onto them. The shade is about right for the terrestrials I was thinking about using. This would put them well out of sight of any unscrupulous types that would take them away. In fact I think I'd enjoy seeing them, eyes glued to the ground, trying to find them. Do more experienced grafters foresee any problems I might incur?

    I'd geniunely be interest in the figures on this if you have them. I have noticed that mental health is one thing where men are specifically mentioned sometimes in the media, and I think that's great, but I also like hard data, so if you do have any figures on how much funding goes to men's mental health as opposed to women's mental health, and to what extent these are even segregated like this, I'd honestly love to see it. The only data I can find on health funding as it related to gender are things like this: http://mhaweb.squarespace.com/storage/files/NHMRC_Funding.pdf The above shows (there are plenty of other more thorough analyses that show the same thing) that, in general, women's health issues attract an extraordinary amount of funding compared to men's health issues. It's not about segregation, it's about basing opinions and policies relating to gender on evidence rather than opinion, dogma, and indoctrination. And you need to be aware that there is a big difference between segregation, which is forced separation of different groups of people, and the free choice of individuals to do things that end up having different demographics in different positions; very different things. If I can make an analogy to the idea of forced gender quotas... Imagine a musician who is very popular among white people. Lets say for the sake of argument that more white people than black people like Britney Spears. Civil rights groups start noticing that 95% of the audience at a Britney Spears concert are white and label this as racism. The stadium seats 100 000 people, and there are at least that many black fans of Britney Spears, so the fact that there are only 5000 black people there must be because of racism on the part of the concert organisers. A law is passed that forces concert organisers to have equal numbers of black and white people in their audience, so they abandon their first in first served policy, and begin turning away white people once they have sold 50 000 tickets to white people. There are plenty of black fans still in line, so the final 50 000 tickets are quickly sold. The audience is now 50/50 black fans and white fans. This seems really fair, but in reality it is actually creating discrimination rather than avoiding it. Now if you are black, you have a really high chance of getting a ticket because there are not many black fans, but if you are white, you have to wait in line overnight and compete will the hundreds of thousands of other white fans who also want a ticket for that reduced number of spots. This is what is happening in businesses, where 10 jobs will be advertised for a computer science job, and 5 women and 100 men apply. In some places gender quotas are forced, but even where they aren't, the employer may be afraid that hiring mostly or all males will make them look sexist, so all five women are hired, and 5 out of the 100 men are hired. This lowers the bar for women, it's condescending because women are as capable as men and, with the exception of some of the most physically demanding jobs, they can actually work hard enough in their lives to do what they choose to do based on their own merits and not get by based on people feeling sorry for them because of their gender, or being afraid of being labelled sexists. It is also unfair to the men, because it gives the men a 5% chance of getting a job and gives the women a 100% chance of getting the job. It's bad for the comapny, because it's likely that only 20% of all applicants were highly suited to the job, which means 1 of the women, and 20 of the men. So, while they had to narrow down the 20 highly suited men to 5, and end up with 5 very good male employees, they also hired the 1 woman who was a suitable applicant, but felt forced to employ 4 women who were not great for the job. The productivity is reduced because 4 out of the 10 people they hired can't do the job properly. I've already noted that the thread title is ugly. The title was not mine and was pretty clearly a joke. Some people are clearly interested in some of the links I am posting and my perspective on these, and I think there have been some bouts of good discussion happening from time to time. You've made some good contributions to the discussion, but if you're no longer happy with what's being discussed here, you are free to not participate. Absolutely!!!

    That's just bizarre. There are so many legitimate research reasons that any citizen can currently use this equipment for. What dastardly end uses are you implying as possible? Some places- not sure if they still do it- used laminar flow hoods to fix their electronics equipment in so casings could be opened in a dust free environment I'm almost offended that you'd draw the sort of long, unreasonable bow that could encourage lawmakers and enforcement to restrict or ban the purchasing of such everyday research equipment. It's not like those people rely on accurate information. Why? Why dear god, why has this thread turned into some stupid discussion about illegalities and synthesis when flow hoods are almost exclusively about biological systems that are completely unrelated to pure chemistry, recreational or otherwise No. Nononono. A fume hood is not a flow hood. They are practically opposites. A fume hood sucks the air away from your face so that chemicals do not enter your body A flow hood blows sterile air towards you so that any potential contanimants which drop from you or the equipment you are using do not enter the biological system you are working with Are we clear on this? This is not a package you would use for chemical synthesis. Unless you bought the thing for it's hotplate, which would be pathetic Throwing in the cool room sounds like a good deal tho, I missed that the first time round and was wondering why it cost so much

    Fact-Snake-oil is used in T.C.M. to treat influenza and colds. I have personal experience and in 6 bouts of the influenza virus I have scientifically proven that the snake-bile cleared the symptoms 80% faster than conventional methods. It's always the Salesman you gotta watch Ok I'll let up,but I tend to agree with Duderino...but do you think I'm looking a bit better after some scientific advice from a PhD student?
