    Looking for horseradish

    Hey there, The only place Ifound horseradish was at diggers, they sold me a potted plant. It is establishing nicely but will be a while before Ican propogate.
  9. Oh wow thank you so much for sharing that I was wondering about that. That is pretty exciting, we have lots of kookaburras here, havent seen too many kingfishers, but I can point the wildlife camera at it and see if it catches anything.

    OSP Pach Comp giveaway

    december 1st please
  14. Im a big fan of Neal Stephenson, Ireally enjoyed almost everythimg of his Ihave read. Recently finished his new one Seveneves. Me and my partner took to reading a book out loud. Seveneves was not the right choice for this project. Ithink it wouldve been much easier to read in my head. Cool apocalyptic earth destruction scenario though. Slow pace. Now for the out loud we are doing Terry Pratchett. Its fun to go back over these books I liked as a kid. Still some good fun silly humour in there. If you like fantasy books, Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss was possibly the best I have enncountered in the genre, be warned only two of three books are out at the moment and its been 5 years since the last release. I really like Most of Graham Hancocks releases. Im not so keen on his fiction, the one that was good (entangled) he never wrote the sequels to. It was an ayahuasca thriller transcendinng the barriers of time. Iliked the concept. But his non fiction is cool - fingerprints of the gods and magicians of the gods, exploring the evidence of ancient advanced civilizations on earth. But my favorite of his was supernatural, where he explores the similarities between accounts of fairy encounters, alien abductions and psychedelic experiences. Jean M Auel Earths Children series was great. Follows the life of a girl who lives in the time of neanderthals. Obviously there is plenty of artistic license taken with the story but is a fairly credible portrayal of what life might have been like back then. Except the main character discovers all the breakthroughs that change the human world. The only detractor from this was the sex scenes. It turned into a mills and boon style romance with many long sex scenes filled with colorful metaphors that really dragged the story to a halt. Greg Egan writes some amazing hard sci fi, a lot of it is way too over my head to understand the technical stuff, but I still love the stories. Diaspora is a masterpiece. Follows the human race into the future of digital consciousness and exploration to the end of reality. Its a wild ride! Michael moorcock Dancers at the end of time At first I thought this was going to suck, but it got more and more bizarre as it went along. This guy has a strange imagination some really cool time travelling sci fi weirdness. Im looking forward to seeing where his other books go. I quite like apocalypse fiction, Luscifers Hammer, One Second After, Alas Babylon were all good. The long emergency was not fiction and a little to real for me. Didnt get through that one. Always keen for more apocalypse scenarios though. Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand This was heavy going but an interesting read. Kind of an apocalyptic tale itself, where society is destroyed by equal oportunities. Picture of Dorian Gray by OScar Wilde. Amazing Story. Beautifully written. An old favorite. If you haven't read it Iwould highly recommend Foundation Series - Isaac Asimov. This is one of my favorite Sci fi series. It is about AI, with a series of rules that all intelligent robots must follow. It startes out with the story I Robot, which is also now a movie. I really like how the seemingly clear and unshakeable laws of robotics can be twisted through circumstance and logic.

    Trichocereus Bridgesii Monstrose pups for sale

    Woah! Those prices are pretty steep! Ihave never had to pay more than $10 for a pup, and those were some monster pups! I would usually only pay $5 a head unless they are particularly nice - like the ones LEster Meyers sells, beautiful greenhouse grown specimens. See that? Thats a 4 inch $10 specimen. Unblemished greenhouse grown. Istill think $10 is a bit steep but its a beauty.
