  1. just to clear up things, surly I meant the word nigga in a good context! I liked how he used this word, compared to other artists, as it's still powerfull, but somehow, not as much into your face, as with other singers. although he used it often, it didn't feel to me like he used it to, get attention or strength for the lyrics. halif, if I were you, I would be so proud of myself, that dali corroberated with you! I think music is still the most powerfull tool on the forefront of the struggle to cast aside, questions of color, political views, religious views, hierarchy and sexuall preferances.

    plant stake invention, PET bottle probagator & more!!

    just a quick one... this "invention" is a movable irrigation system, which takes, 30sec to build, but can solve some issues we face everyday in our gardens. "the bucket irrigator" drill a small hole into a bucket or container, and place it close to your plant which needs water, than fill up with water. the problem with ordinary watering can be that a lot of the water will just run off, and if you want to avoid this from happening, one has to water often, but in small amounts. the bucket irrigator solves this problem! to be the most effective, water the area to be irrigated, a while before, and than place the bucket irrigator, into the spot you want watered. this will minimize runoff and maximise absorbtion.
  4. you got my thumbs up, me nigga liked it, bro.

  6. seriously, don't believe encrypted stuff is save... even what you think can't be read, can be decoded, because the people writing the enkrytions have been infiltrated... I always hate it when the coppers, attack drug users, all drugs should be legal if found save, and there would be no crime...

    Cuttings from Chavin de Huantar

    will you visit chachapoyas? I hope you take a lot of pics from the Mercado modelo, I am specialy interested in decotions made from the coral tree, which are very common there. maybe the stall holders will share some info regarding the manufacturing... hasta mas tarde, gringito.
  8. natur (ancestor) worship vs main religions ancestor warship and natur worship, are much closer to my heart than, most of the main stream religions. i like it, how many main religions, have a focus on how to live a life with good virtues. i hate the fact though, that christians and muslims, have and still use, force and violance, to obtain more members! i despise deeply, the fact that some christian religions (coptic) and the muslim faith, allowe the marriage of prepubesent girls!! however, i like the idea of warshiping plants and showing gratitude towards ones ancestors, and even the believe that they can guide you thru life. participating in a church service, is sure good exercise, and music and singing is cool, but it's not as good as being in nature, and having glimpses of what life is really about! i have as well no problems with polytheism, as it makes far more sense, to assume if there is "something out there", that this something, exists more than once. i guess the invention of "one god" was only made so that all revenu's (all money and goods donated, for a false hope!!!) would go to one institution only. the first to do so, i believe was ra. this monotheism, suited the king who was god as well, perfectly. it is purly a money and power grabbing tactic, which paid off handsomely. but it get's teached as it would be the only truth, and people get brainwashed with it, to the max. a bit later living gods, fell out of fashion, and this meant that king and pope had to join forces, and it went well, and still does well, in many regions of this planet. the enlightenment has to continue, we have to educate oureselves, so that at one stage all the wars and abuse, has it's end. and btw, the path to a better world continues, because france has made beauty pagent competitions illegal, i hope australia follows.
  9. http://diggers.com.au/pdf/mapColdZone.pdf above link might be helpful, to set your climat field.
  10. for the agents 86 the likes of Maxwell smart (I am one of them) here is what he said at the news forum (I double post this here, as some people might not read the news section, and I don't want to lose them because of this): http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36566 tort, our admin said: This is primarily an ethnobotany forum which means climate or location are essential for other members to put your contributions and questions into context. From our posting rules: 6) Provide a valid and accurate climate, or a location from which climate can be deduced. Anyone failing to do so will risk being deleted. without warning. You do not need to divulge anything that identifies where you live. You can simply use australian or USDA zones with rainfall. There are a number of threads explaining this in detail

    i find it sad, if a person only writes in a style, so he can provoke others.

    Re rooting snapped peres stock?

    the guy in the link, seems to know his stuff, but I wonder how, it doesn't cause problems, to leave the peres stump on the arios... in my experience the peres will rot and can kill even the scion. as well, that guy grows them too fast maybe, and that's why he claims peres is only good for 2 years, when in fact peres can last for 10 or more years. goonthen gave good advice and a good link! so, recut the peres, and re root. take off pup and graft onto pedro. if pedro graft fails, you can either try again, or re root the pup on own roots.
  16. yes, all comments are disabled, apart from the didgeridoo version of your face. the cohen song manhatten allows thumbs up as well, something I was not aware of, but the troll sussed it out,... so please give me a thumbs up at manhatten, as well.

    I use cactus as a plural

    here is an other one... I feel sick, if people say, peoples, and it seems to get more common, specialy with the trivial people of channel 7 and American news casts. btw, I might be featured in ch 7 local (Capricornia) news 18 00, in a report about the giant aircraft, antonov...

    Help With Psychotria Viridis leaf cuttings?

    slightly yellow, means the vendor gave you a crappy leaf. complain to him, and ask for a replacement, which is deep green, very succulent, and "fat"! i have no doubts believing, he gave you a leaf from the bottom of the plant, or even a fallen one. those can still root, but are crap compared to leaves, taken from 1/3 down from the growing tip.

    last chance lophophora sale

    thx 4 your support mutant. let me add a few things: I am convinced my two trolls (or 3 if you want to include the guy who trolled me by calling me a troll,... forgot his unimportant name already) have a bit a personality disorder, so I hope that one time they get on top of there disorders. there is a troll in all of us, but for non trolling people, this part of our personalities, stays mostly in the back round... I am convinced to know who my youtube troll is (IT'S NOT WHOAMI!!), because the writing style matches, with who I think it is. I have never done this person wrong, and others agreed with this statement, but he now stalks me on the net, 1 year after, he fucked up!!! I pitty you, and I know you still read here @ sab. a strong dose of aya could fix those troll's up! feelings of anger and hate, will only bring you a life of misery. I know the troll, has shady characters as friends, and those people believe in revenge, but as said I have never done him wrong, this is all just in his head.

    ancestor/natur worship vs main religions

    this post comes across to me that, there are two opposing forces active inside you. now all of us have those, but for most of us, we have a single direction we like more. I say this because, stating on one hand that, halus have no deeper meaning, for me clashes with your believe that our ancestors were higher beings. I believe you are a person who, comes back from a dmt trip, and than exclaims, so what, nothing really happened. for me even if it feels, you contacted outside forces, or become god for a while, or have an audience with god, I still don't believ it was really god or what ever, but I still learn an awefull lot of it, and become a better person from it. and I know that the god concept arose from drug and non drug induced halucinations. but it's true for some people halus don't seem to make any difference, whilst most people improofe there lifes after taking halus, some people just continue to live there lives as they have done before. my heart goes out to those people, and I think you are one of them.
  21. I start on working, on a cactus man project right away tomorrow, if I have your blessing. what a brilliant idea. I am such a boring old fart, that I noticed, i started saying the same things again and again, I hope I haven't said this to you. you art is really good, and although the topic of those pictures is quite removed from, the human image (maybe the cactus man is a small exeption), one can detect, your (the artist) spirit, soul and being in those paintings. I can't draw well, but I spent a lot of time in schools which featured many different drawing lessons, including technical drawings. my coolest art teacher, for example knew, that I only liked to draw plants, and nothing else. and guess what, he was such an alternative guy (although he was quite old), and he said, just draw plants than... anyway, with all what I have learned of my masters and mentors, I think you could even improofe your art by, drawing much faster at times, using strange new media (like chopstick painting), research what fracture means (improofe you fracture), and don't try to think when painting. this is all meant well, and I hope you are not taken back, by those remarks. you are talented, and could produce work that sells, I think you did those nice carvings as well, didn't you? I picked up some old ebony from vinnis, I will send it to you, with some cow bone, in case you want it...

    sab will never die!

    1, this thread, hopefully will get torts attention, and he could than inform us of, all the copyright issues, the admin right and so on. 2, my aim is not to create a mirror site, or to work on taking over the forum. 3, I know we are in good hands with tort, and his aim is to keep it going, and I remember how he proudly mentioned once, "sab is the second oldest ethno site on the web". 4, all I want to save guard for is, if new owners of sab, would give up on the forum (tort would never give up the forum me thinks)that we can keep it still running. 5, I don't know about the financial cost of the forum, but I am confident, this money could be raised. all I say is, I can't imagen life without sab, and I have seen two forum die already. handing on the knowledge is paramount in our aim.
  23. shameless, self promoting bump! today, I feel, I got the biggest compliment possible, somebody told me, my song turned into an earworm for her! this made we very happy, and i'm still riding the happy wave right now. as well I know now who trolled me at youtube, so everything is primo. I ask you though, in case you have an account which works at youtube to give me a thumbs up, and if you have the time, a short positive comment, as currently the troll is still, creating a bad impression, at this page, which I don't deserve. I have done nothing wrong to this person, he just simply did blame me for his own mistakes, and now he even stalks me, so he can abuse me more. if you read this "troll", I have no hard feelings against you anymore, I hope you will find peace in life soon.

    most of the time you edit a post, a field comes up at the bottom, asking you, "reason for editing", and what ever you write down in there, comes up as you see it. the field shows up once you click edit. but if you click full editor right away afterwards, you wasted your chance, as ther will be no such field using full editor. if you want to use this field and you are in need of the full editor, you have to >click edit> than change the post >click save> than edit again>click full editor> change title or add pics > click save more "small diy inventions", regarding gardening to come!
