    Replenish our sacred species

    I have been thinking about something like this lately! I have heard from people how entire sections of Acacias in some areas (I'm assuming around York) have been completely stripped, which also apparently got the attention of Department of Conservation and Land Management (or whatever they are called now). I have never used the alakloids that come fro this plant, and I think I would be hesitant to if it meant a whole tree dying.. It shocked me to hear about people who are using a supposedly enlightening substance acting in a way that is so destructive, greedy and small minded.. I really hope it is no one from this forum that has been doing this! I read on one forum where someone was saying to try and be conservative with how much they took and maybe think about replanting them and fools were saying "nah its cool they grow everywhere" Yeah not for long with ignorant greedy cunts like you around! Anyway, I have no idea where would be a good place to do some guerilla planting like this, or how to go about it generally.. assuming I get a couple of hundred seedlings going, does anyone have any suggestions of ways to go about this discreetly?

    Medicine side effect of edgeness

    I use L-theanine every day, its always hard to tell if it is having much an effect or placebo but for whatever reasons I haven't had a lot of anxiety lately, despite factors that should have caused some. Certainly hasn't caused any drowsiness. I would be interested if you try it to hear if you think it makes a difference. I've been using this one. There is also evidence it may have a beneficial synergy with caffeine: Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/18006208

    I'll definitely be at the next one, unless its 35 degrees again, which is extremely unlikely at that time of year. So that should make it pretty exciting.

    west aussie's trade and sell thread

    I am looking to buy plants of P. carth and P. alba, as I heard they grow faster and do better in WA. Any size will do, bigger is better. I have a few P. viridis leaves I am nursing into growth.. they root easily but seem to take forever to put out plantlets! PM me with what you've got and price.. cash is boring I know but have nothing to trade really yet.. just wait til next year!

    Chasing "Danish Flag" P.som.

    Yeah but it hasn't been updated yet.. some seeds can be sent to WA, some not. The list of what is permitted is linked to here, I still havenpt gotten around to installing anything to open the .xls yet!
  17. There is a cactus nursery in WA, they are wholesale only I think but sometimes places like that will still sell to the public if you give them a call.

    Poll: Whos a vegetarian?

    Poll: Whos a vegetarian?

    Yes but then after the flood YHWH also gives the animals for food (Gen 9) and under the Mosaic law requires that all sorts of animals be sacrificed to him. Also, he gets some animal skins to cover up Adam and Eve so presumably he killed animals himself before all this. To take it in its literal wording, the actual hebrew word means "murder" and it also must be read in context, which was one where killing of animals and other human beings was permitted.. eg Moses gives commands for sacrifice, warfare against other nations and capital punishment within the Hebrew tribes. So YHWH in the Bible approves of the killing of humans for idolatry or sexual crimes for example, and other animals for both food and sacrifice. The NT changes this somewhat, ie. love your enemies (not just your Israelite neighbors) and it's okay for non-jews to eat "unclean" animals but there is no vegetarianism.. Jesus himself ate lamb and fish. _____________________ Even if it were true that the Bible endorsed child sacrifice, I'm not sure how that is relevant to what I was saying? I agree that different parts of the Bible say wildly different things, that's why I was pointing out the parts that allow for and command killing of humans and other animals. ________________ This is correct, although I do still find studying the Bible and the religions it spawned interesting, but strictly from a critical perspective.

    Huge sale, Selling my whole collection

    Far out! Nice collection man, I know how hard it is to give up your succulent friends when you move.. wish you were in WA I would definitely be interested. *edit I just remembered there was some kind of rule of "don't post if not interested" oops sorry!

    Poll: Whos a vegetarian?

    In the Bible, YHWH gives the animals for food and requires that they be sacrificed to please him. "Thou shalt not kill" actually means "thou shalt not murder," and refers not to the killing of other animals but only humans and especially those of the Hebrew tribes (it was ok to kill people from other tribes).
  22. Thanks so much to oxydiser for this awesome TBM! Regretfully, I am thinking of dividing it up to propagate, and was wondering what other members would suggest to be the best way of going about it? My thoughts are break up the base into three or four pieces, keeping roots on each piece and plant them individually.. that way they get to do some growing while it's summer, instead of spending time putting ourt roots. Over the years I have heard some say bigger and some say smaller pots are best for TBM.. any thoughts on this? Also, I have a few little rooted single pups that I managed to salvage from my neighbors when they stole them (grrr) and they don't appear to be doing much.. I am hesitant to hit them with ferts when they aren't actively growing, think it's a good idea to try and kick start them a bit?

    Saw this on google news just after posting in this thread: "The group planned the covert operation together, deciding where the workers would place pinhole cameras inside the abattoir to capture the beatings, the botched stunnings, and the hung animals - writhing in pain as they bled out. ...their video, broadcast first on ABC's Lateline on Thursday, showed sickening cruelty at the hands of abattoir workers, and pushed the state government to announce a review of the operations of all abattoirs in NSW." http://media.smh.com.au/news/national-news/hiddencamera-reveals-animal-cruelty-at-sydney-abbatoir-2996390.html
  24. Hi gem, nice to see another xx chromosome here, I hope your feminine presence can help to leach some of the testosterone out of this place. To find your friends (I am assuming this is what you mean) click on your name at the top right, then choose "my profile" and then on the left menu the third one down is Friends.

    Poll: Whos a vegetarian?

    Speaking of carnivorous animals, it is possible and not harmful to raise cats and dogs on a completely vegetarian diet. Actually, one of the longest living dogs in the world was raised on a completely vegetarian diet! Here is some info for those thinking of doing it: http://www.peta.org/living/companion-animals/vegetarian-cats-and-dogs.aspx Thinking of this for when we get a dog, as some studies have found that a medium sized dog leaves a bigger carbon footprint than an SUV.. I am assuming because of the large amount of processed meat they are commonly fed.
