Hey, I could prolly take that off ur hands.

My partner and I are visiting friends at hervey bay and they have this cacti in the front yard. It's huge. Could someone ID it please.It flowers at night with a white flower. Thanks, 12g

Congratulations, your cadaver is worth $3,385

Thank you for the ID.

Taking a load of leaves down to the burning pit I noticed a bright yellow colour under a piece of sandstone. So I flipped the rock and found this growing in the leaf mulch.Anyone have an idea as to what it is? I live in Queensland south. On the foothills of the Gold coast.

Does anyone know more about this plant And it's properties? Here is what they are saying: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26677869-23272,00.html

Ok people first in was dworx so it's his. Sorry I dont have any more. 12G.

I have a $20.00 Vfone prepaid recharge voucher that I'm not using as I am with Crazyjohns prepaid so if anyone wants it PM me and I will give you the Pincode number. 12G.

Hi ya ppl, how many of us here that live on the gold coast ? My partner Cathy and I moved here last April and I'm sure there must be a few ethno's living within driving distance. We live on the foot hills of Mt Nathan on 50 acres. Around 5 km from Nerang and 17 km from Southport. We manage a business for the owner of the property 4 days a week and he has now told me I can put in whatever gardens, plants I please,as long as they don't break the law. Pics of the place to follow. 12G.

Hi ya people, just thought I'd upload a pic of my Rose Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) in flower. I have waited 2 years for this one to show it's colors and it's been steadily flowering for a month now. I intend on using this one around the outside of the house to deter insects during summer. And maybe doing an oil extract for personal use while I'm fishing down on the dam on a hot summer evening.

My partner Cathy came across this add on brisbane gumtree. Gumtree Ad

G'day everyone, I was up surfing the net a few nights ago and found a site that I thought somewhat interesting. The site has a download of a virtual Chem lab that I thought you guys may be interested in. This is what they have to say about the program. A virtual chemistry laboratory, which has a lot of extra features. The program has a myriad of functions and is indeed a useful tool for teachers as well as for students and for those who are interested in Chemistry. The program is very intuitive – there is a virtual worktable and two panels - for lab instruments and for substances respectively. To perform a reaction the user just has to put the necessary containers on the worktable and put the needed substances in them. The program has a database of reactions and it can visualize those, which are studied in the seventh grade. For example, if you fill a lab glass with water and put sodium in it, you will see an animation not only of how the reaction goes but how the molecules of the two substances interact to produce the final result of the chemical reaction. In general, the way experiments are conducted is very simple and reminds of actual lab work. The program also includes an assistant which notifies of all the changes within the program. The program offers plenty of tools including the periodic table, the solubility table, the oxidizing and relative activity table and even a glossary. Should those not suffice, there is an additional number of tools – an equation editor and a unit converter. There is also a self-test, a scientific calculator, lab exercises/tasks and a lab log (in order to prepare reports of the experiments). The link http://chemistry.dortikum.net/en/ I hope some one here can make use of this program. Cheers Johnny12g Here is a screen shot of it running.

Hiya ppl, This is a real mans cactus!!!

PMed Thank you

All this fungi is growing in soil around our dams. We are in Queensland, Goldcoast hinterland.

We just moved to a new property about 15k's outside Nerang. Found these here. Hope someone can help. Edit... I found these growing in soil by the dam.

aha!

I know of a program called Nutribase 7 Clinical edition ver. 7.18 Rather than go into the in's & out's here is the link and download URL. http://fcportables.blogspot.com/2009/01/po...al-edition.html I hope this helps you.

Happy birthday and may you succeed in your life's endeavors.

Hi all, I'm in too. My addy is in my profile.

Chicken Philosophy WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD??? Plato: For the greater good. Aristotle: To fulfill its nature on the other side. Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained. Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its pancreas. Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD! Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out. Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take. Douglas Adams: Forty-two. Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you. Oliver North: National Security was at stake. B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will. Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being. Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road. Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence. Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference. Aristotle: To actualize its potential. Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature. Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence. Salvador Dali: The Fish. Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees. Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death. Epicurus: For fun. Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it. Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain. Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast. David Hume: Out of custom and habit. Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason. Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road? Ronald Reagan: Well,................... John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the transportation, so quite understandably the chicken availed himself of the opportunity. The Sphinx: You tell me. Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow out of life. Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated. Mishima: For the beauty of it. The chicken's extension of its sinuous legs sent shivers of a dark despair into the souls not only of the silently watching hens but also the roosters, who felt a sudden sexual desire for their exquisite comrade. The dark courage of the chicken was as beautiful as drops of dew upon jade at midnight, struck by a partial moon, its light filtered through clouds. One of the deeply aroused roosters could stand the intensity of the moment no more and bit off the head of the beautiful, courageous chicken-hero, whose wine blood was deliciously drunken by the road, and he died. Johnny Cochran: The chicken didn't cross the road. Some chicken-hating, genocidal, lying public official moved the road right under the chicken's feet while he was practicing his golf swing and thinking about his family. Camus: The chicken's mother had just died. But this did not really upset him, as any number of witnesses can attest. In fact, he crossed just because the sun got in his eyes. John Sununu (again): I would argue that the chicken never crossed the road at all. That it is a story concocted by the Clinton Administration to distract attention from their failed agriculture policy. Where is the evidence that the chicken crossed the road? Where, Michael? Michael Kinsley: Oh, John, come on! Everybody knows the chicken crossed the road. What evidence do you need? It's obvious that the chicken crossed the road. Your whole argument is just a smoke and mirror tactic to distract us from the fact that most chickens polled now back the Democratic Party. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, John. Siskel: I don't know why it crossed the road, but I loved it. Thumbs up! Ebert: I disagree. The whole thing left the audience wondering; the chicken's crossing the road was never clearly explained and the chicken didn't emote very well. It couldn't even speak English! Thumbs down. Michael Kinsley: But you both agree it did cross the road, right? See, John. I'm right as usual.

Is this a Woodford meet? If so, where and when?

Politics Explained FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk. PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need. BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need. FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk. PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk. RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes both of them and shoots you. DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you. PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk. REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk. BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows. PURE ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill you. LIBERTARIAN/ANARCHO-CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

On a recent trip to the Botanicals at Mt Coot-tha Brisbane I took a few pics of the Cacti section. Thought I'd share them with you all.

On a recent visit to Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens I took photo's of the Cacti section,amongst others. I'd like to know where best to post these pics so as to share what I saw. Regards Johnny12g
