shame on you distracted Funny ? the poor girl is traumatised... i don't get how any part of the situation could be amusing ? Were you a part of the 4chan campaign ? ( edit - if you come to the spring meet, I am now planning a citizens arrest until such time as the law deems it fit for you to be sentenced to 100 lashes )

for any members looking for seed from a private collector that collects seed from his own plants, for not much more than what i am offering per thousand, i strongly advise you to cantact Zelly - (dont really want to kill my sales - but credit paid where credit is due ) I would have to say his seed is the best going... with mine coming in a very close second ! ( just beware for aus buyers - he is from OS so check your laws and regs first - maybe pm him and have a chat about what the go is ) For those of you in aus who wish to purchase domestically this is a shameless BUMP

I do bogfrog, but at the moment i have a transaction dispute with them i am trying to resolve, so would be after an electronic transfer. Not sure how this works from NZ but cannot see any issue... pm me to chat more if you like.

OK that's IT... giveaway done. All those who posted above get those envelopes in the mail. ( or anyone who has given me a generous giveaway in the past and feels they have missed out - pm me ) Im bagging up the seed as we speak.

This was meant to be a thousandth post giveaway... but It kind of passed me by. I have been an active member here now for a year + I have met some of the kindest people and have grown to truly love this place for so many reasons. I have met some people i would now class as true friends. Both in RL and on here. And Id like to give props to T and the mods for all their work while I'm at it. ( you guys are immediately elligible for a giveaway pack - just pm to claim ) Anyway.... Up for grabs I have ten packets of fifty Lophophora williamsii seed. All you have to do is post below and follow up with a pm. Then send me a self addressed stamped envelope and i shall send them on the way. The only exception to the rule is that you have never taken a freebie from me before. And the only exception to the exception is that if you have reciprocated with a freebie, from a previous freebie from me, or have given me a freebie in the past without ever receiving a freebie from me you are still eligible ! does that make sense ? Ok .... go

Was sitting at the red light this morning on my way to work at a high speed intersection. Watched the intersecting lights turn amber and then red... my light turned green and i took off kind of fast to get around the cars on my left to get in front of them and make a turn just past the intersection. Anyway... a car was coming down the main road and was planting it to get through the lights.. and he t-boned me at a good 90 km/hr. he took out the front end... a seconds difference and he would have hit me square in the passenger door and i doubt i would be here typing this right now. He was in a tiny old little hyundai and i was in a big statesman... so he was a bit of a mess and was suffering a minor heart attack. Hope he is ok. My first car serious car accident ever, so i'm unsure how the insurance works and whether his third party property covers my car or not. Problem is a witness at the scene said i took off just before the lights went green... which i am 100% percent sure is not accurate. I took off the split second it turned green. But i don't know how that or his statement will affect the situation. I don't know whether i should be seeking legal representation or what to do from here. Kind of worried about this actually. I think my employment agency has me covered under there insurance for traveling to and from work... but am unsure as to how this works and whether or not it will be applicable. Anyway, my dad has loaned me a car and i have been given the day off so I'm going to spend the days organising all the orders for my trades. to let them callous sufficiently before posting. It should not delay any of these trades, so don't worry guys. Crazy start to the day that is for sure.

a slow motion flash if that makes sense... i saw him maybe half a second before the crash... but the brain is amazing in life threatening situations... i seemed to have time to assess whether braking or accelerating was going to result in the most beneficial point of impact and had time to brace myself and slightly shift more towards the center of the car. If i had have accelerated He would have hit me and not the front end. After that it was an airbag to the face ( not pleasant ) then a quick scan of my body to check for injuries... soon as i knew i was ok... . I asessed further risks... smoke was billowing out from under the bonnet and petrol and the smell of petrol was strong so i quickly had turn it off as it was smoking and looked like a possible scenario for a fire. Then by the time i was heading over to the other car, the police were allready on the scene ( in minutes ). So i was asked to stay back while they attended to his wellbeing. Next my mind immediately turned to whether i had anything i would not want them to see in the car. I grabbed a few small things while i had the chance. Nothing serious... mainly my prescribed dexamphetamne... which i am cleared by my doctor to drive on... but i just didnt want any further scrutiny. I have calmed down now and am going to grab my surfing gear and go for a good long surf.. it's five foot and offshore at victor... and it's the best way to refresh and zone out.. cheers for the kind words guys. tipz

there was jox, but it was a six lane road and the camera didn't capture a thing.. the police have allready checked.It is there to capture cars heading n the other direction on the opposite side

No accident investigation team... I dont think the injuries were serous enough to warrant an investigation. they just made sure no-one was under the influence and that we were both registered and under full licence. Which we both were.

OK. I am going to put a temporary hold on further sales until I have done a good measure up and stocktake. I have been inundated with requests and dont like too have too many sales banked up at once. Give it a few days till everything is sorted and I will repost here with what is still available once all orders have been sent. Thanks for all the interest. Tipz

Thanks Micromegas I was going to ask if anyone had any input on I.D for that one. Do you happen to know what species it s thought to be, or the genetic lines it comes from ? The mother plant grows huge limbs straight upright with minimal basal branching just like you describe. If you have a look at the scarred and sunburnt limbs in the photo's , they are from the exact same plant and rootmass as the more lush newer growth with the longer spination and they have virtually no spines - almost like a scop. Im happy to run with Goliath... seems to suit it quite well.

The laws definitely do not reflect the penalties being imposed.

Up for auction I have a large Loph Williamsii weiss bluete ( kohres sourced seed ) It has been grafted onto trichocereus uyupampensis ( bought form the SAB store some years ago ) It has nine pups ATM with the largest being just over 4 cm. One of the pups will be removed for grafting and will be kept by me as it is showing some abnormal growth and May perhaps crest ( it is one of the smaller ones). I will make sure It is well calloused and the wound dusted with sulphur. This is and will be a very healthy plant. The wiess bluete was seed grown originally by myself and has been grafted for three years and Is 13 cm at its geatest width ( larger than my fist ) It does have a large split down the side from when it was first grafted due to excessively fast growth. this split is well healed and now is almost invisible as the scion has grown so large since then. ( as can be seen in the photos provided ) The uyupampensis grafting stock also has a healthy pup pushing out from the base measuring over 5 cm x 3 cm. pictures can be viewed here as the images are too large to upload http://s1084.photobu...weiss%20bluete/ Auction will end at 9.00 pm Adelaide time on the dot monday the 20th... any bids at 9.01 pm my time will be too late... and in the case of two bids at 9.00 pm consecutively will go to the last bid to show up in the thread at that time. ( so make sure you suss out the timezones properly ) bidding starts at one dollar ;) Plant will be sent bare-rooted upon payment

The sunburn occurred a couple of years ago BF ... not the photo.

Waterboy has it... and i do believe he is going to recieve a nice big chunk of free macro with his loph that i promised him some time ago... pm me mate and we will sort it out... congrats.

Ahhh i see the whitespots your talking about BF... that was from a couple of years ago... it got pretty sunburnt while adapting to the full sun of south oz's summers ... It got pretty sunburnt... but grew out of it and can now handle the full glare of the raging sun on a 40 degree day and not break a sweat. They are way more noticable in the pics than in RL

you know me too well know at0m ok guys... 1hr2o to go... and BF Im keeping that pup mate... no doubts about it (edit) what white spots BF ?

http://www.ebay.com....3#ht_500wt_1013 Perhaps I am auctioning this at the wrong place ;)

cheers Eg... I am shocking with spelling in general and botanical plant names. A white flower hey ? interesting... I dare say she will pushing out a few of those come spring time

you never know... if SAB goes down again for a few days you might just jag it Jox

I always drop in to the lab.... but it s such a ghost town these days... nobody is ever there to lsten to my ramblings - come and chat with me amz... bout time we exchanged some more banter. Atoms ethno chatroom on xchat is not bad either... a good alternative for sure... get on here and give everyone the lowdown At0m ( i must admit i feel it is a more secure room to discuss 'stuff'

Got mine too.. cheers shamanistic... will get that thankyou package off pronto

^what they said^ I would commission Jo to make me a Loph cake or even better a T.peruvianus cake, But i doubt it would survive the trip to Adelaide. Soooo so gifted !

coopers sparkling gets my vote. It is brewed locally here in SA too. Being bottle fermented, It is possible to utilise their famous yeast in your own homebrews too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VChrWf0I04o 9.5/10 Another favourite is vale dark ale ( from a boutique brewery in Mclaren vale - adelaide )
