Agar or an LC would be a better bet than cakes if you're reviving old spores. I remember RR writing about re hydrating old spores in a pressurised vessel. I haven't been to the shroomery for years, so I can't provide links or technical details.

One from the old days when we used to scratch a needle over a spinning plastic disk to hear our tunes.

Some mites will also cause damage like that. Sometimes you need a loupe or a magnifying glass to spot them though. Knowing your enemy is the best way to design a strategy to eradicate them with a selective treatment. Those little magnifying lenses for mobile phones are a great tool for that, you can take a pic & then zoom right in to see what's going on. For a quick broad spectrum knockdown of unknown pests you can make a fumigator using a normal bucket and ordinary fly spray. Put the pot in the bucket and spray fly spray in it until it's fogged up in the bucket, don't directly spray the plant or the potting mix though. Cover the bucket to keep the fog in and wait for an hour or so. Then re-pot it into some fresh potting mix & don't ingest any of the foliage until new leaves have grown back.

It seems like the dog remembered the significance of the red & white string and he didn't go anywhere near it. It's been over 18 months since the electric fence was running and he still knows what it's all about. I can hear the generated pulse, so maybe he remembers that too. When I wasn't maintaining the garden he'd occasionally dig a small hole there - less than 2 feet in diameter and less than a foot deep, but as soon as I show interest in it and look after it the holes turn into 3-4 foot diameter craters up to 2 feet deep. I can't work out what goes through his mind. If he thinks he's helping why does he hide under the steps or skulk away with his head down when I first see him the next day after he's dug the garden up ? If he's just bored why does he focus on the area I've worked on that day and ignore the rest of the yard (where he normally digs his overnight craters) ? If it's boredom why does his destruction get worse when exercise him and give him lots of attention ? I know scent plays a big role and animals are attracted to freshly turned soil but I've been building no-dig gardens for 15 years and I almost never dig anything. I just pull the weeds & mulch it. Is it the mulch ? I've even scratched up a patch of soil and mulched it on the same day I've weeded and mulched the garden to see what he'd do. He ignored the test patch and destroyed the whole fucking garden just like he always does. He knows it's wrong but he's compelled to destroy everything I do,

I'm sure that would work for a normal dog Dude, it never has for this fucking thing. The more attention and exercise it gets the worse it's behaviour will be that night. Taking him out for a walk or letting him inside will guarantee a trail of destruction overnight. He's 6 now and he's still as mad as a cut snake. He never settled down and got out the destructive puppy stage. He's cost me over $5000 in damages and my sanity.The stress he's caused me has taken years off my life. The biggest mistake I ever made was bringing that fucking thing home. I'm going back out to hose the whole area down so he gets a fucking good shock. That will make him think twice the next time he gets the urge to dig my nexus patch up.

Today I murdered my dog in the backyard I fucken should have, I spent all day yesterday mulching the garden & when I woke up this morning with a fucked back I hobbled out the back & I saw my mutt had destroyed everything I'd done. He'd dug huge craters everywhere and now the mulch and the soil is mixed together and spread everywhere, just like every other time I've tried to mulch something. I could tell he'd done something, the second I saw him he put his head down and skulked away. He knows it's wrong but he just can't resist, for some reason he's compelled to destroy everything I ever do, he has done since he was a pup. I've even mulched cactus with fist sized stones stacked 10 inches deep thinking they'd be safe, but not with this fucking thing. He dug that up too and mixed soil in with them and now grass grows through the whole lot and it's nearly impossible to get rid of the grass because it's wrapped around stones. The electric fence is coming back out of retirement which will make it a nightmare to mow and maintain but hearing that fucking mutt yelp when gets his first boot from it will be worth all the hassle. I might even set up a webcam with some motion detection software so I can catch him getting zapped on video and watch it every time I need a laugh

I have to confess, I stumbled across this after watching a vid Responsible Choice posted in the youtube vids thread, it was one the mini previews that appeared after his vid finished.

I'm no expert on plant diseases but that doesn't look like a bacterial or fungal infection to me. It seems more like pest damage, in the 1st and 3rd pic there seems to be damage caused by some type of leaf miner and the deformed phllyode tips seem like something could be eating them as well. If you can remove a phllyode with signs of damage and put it in ziplock bag you may be lucky enough to have the larvae hatch out in the bag and find some small flies buzzing around in the bag in a few days. That will help you identify them & plan an eradication strategy. If you couldn't be fucked messing around with hatching insects in bags you could try some white oil or eco oil. You can mix your own with vegetable oil and dishwashing detergent diluted in water to do the same thing (smother the pests) also. I'm way too pissed to quote recipes so google that if you want to mix your own. In some species of trees the miners can be a big problem but for Acacias they are normally a fleeting thing that passes when the heat of summer kicks in. I hope it's not an infection but I really don't think it is, it looks more like some sort of pest is eating the new growth, this time of year is the most common time for that to happen to almost any tree.

Anyone standing near the Dal Tex building or standing on the grassy knoll when the motorcade comes through remember to duck when trumps motorcade comes through. (on the off chance that he gets in)

^ A Russian wanting credit card details, I'm sure it's all legit. That vid talks about the possibility of WW3 if clinton gets in. What if trump won the election, the MIC could escalate things in the middle east or launch a false flag scenario to retain control. If they did it in the period before trump was sworn in they could use any matter of dirty tactics to retain control. Martial law, suspend the constitution and install a dictator under the provisions in national security acts. Any way it turns out it doesn't look good for that country. JFK couldn't break up the circle that really runs things through the CIA, NSA, FBI etc or get the countries balls back from the grip of the bankers, so I can't see trump doing any better.

Can you see the average American voter swimming through a river of misdirection to get the facts about anything? I'd suggest they are more like the Australian voters and they'll accept the propaganda/opinion polls as fact and many will go with popular opinion. The die hards will always vote one way or the other but many will do what the media tells them to. I must admit the media bias, even here is getting very annoying. So much for objective unbiased journalism - now they are a pack of whores. My local radio station (the only one that plays music I can listen to ) takes it to extremes, Trump is satan incarnate and mike baird is the embodiment of the second coming to them. Everything on TV seems to depict Trump as a naughty little boy who doesn't deserve his daily serve of milk. Now the MSM is just an opinion shaping device that ramps up before elections and dumbs down in between.

First I'd suggest not to use the machine for anything until you've got some recovery software. If you do that on another machine and transfer it with a USB drive it would be the best way to ensure that a minimal portion of the deleted files are over written. Just web browsing stores all sorts of shit on your hard drive and could over write something important. I haven't personally tested any file recovery software for mac but there's heaps of youtube vids on how it's done. Watch a few vids and see what seems the most suitable for your needs.

DYLIW Someone dresses up as Batman and scares the clowns off. Apparently he's in the UK and goes by the name of the Cumbrian crusader.

DCHIW Some fuckwit dresses up as a clown and walks the streets at night with a machete.

Maybe that's all he is doing, it would explain the cheeky smile he had on his face in this pic It would complicate things for anyone trying to prosecute him for manufacturing hash, first they'd have to prove that he made it and not the bees. The are some contradictions in the linked article, early on he said Which would suggest it is in the propolis, but then later on they talk about honey oil and show a pic with a spoonful of something that doesn't look like honey to me. Who knows, it could all be smoke and mirrors.

A forum where they do out there stuff with chickens ? I'll have to check that out. I bet their annual camp goes off.

My dog would have got the bastard, he catches rats and mice all the time. We normally notice them dead in the back yard before a large scale weather event where a lot of rain comes.

Yeah it was meant to be sarcasm TI, we should have a designated font for sarcasm so it comes across the way it's meant to. I also hope he gets in and rattles the cage a bit too, but history has shown what happens to presidents who don't toe the line drawn by the international banking cartel/military industrial complex. Bang bang.

Trump will make as good a puppet as any, I'm sure there will be someone waiting on the grassy knoll if he steps too far out of line. At least there will be plenty of work for fencing contractors for a while.

I don't see how that video of trump saying all that sexist shit changes anything, we all knew he was a goats arse before that was aired. Why isn't the media telling us about bill clinton's or trumps ties to jeffrey epstein & the peadophilia allegations against trump himself ? It's OK to portray him as a sexist butt wipe but if they play the peadophile card bill clinton will get dragged into it too. https://news.vice.com/article/the-salacious-ammo-even-donald-trump-wont-use-in-a-fight-against-hillary-clinton-bill-clinton
