This is due to 2 things: first, we will not take a lot of stock and if you want a lot of seeds from the same strain we may not have enough; second, for bulk purchasing we have very good discounts for clients that send me their order by PM until thursday at 4:00PM.


Cheers and Sweet Smokes!

Girlfriend says 'it's me or the dog' - so boyfriend takes out Craigslist ad with a difference
Pets and partners don't always mix, but there's something funny about the problem of Molly the beagle and her owner's matters of the heart


6RoAHTzl.jpg

The path of true love never does run smooth, but one man knew true heartachewhen his pet and his girlfriend just couldn't get along.

The unnamed chap, who lives in Roanoke, Virginia, put his heart on the line last week when he put an advert on Craigslist entitled "Free to any willing home' with a picture of his pet beagle.

He writes: "My girlfriend does not like my beagle Molly, so I have to re-home her."

With such a clear affection for his pet, the advertiser goes through attributes for those interested in his offer.

"She is a purebred from a wealthy area and I have had her 4 years.

"She likes to play games. Not totally trained.

"Has long hair so she's a little high maintenance, especially the nails, but she loves having them done.

Online marketplace: Craigslist provides local classifieds and forums for jobs, housing, for sale, personals, services, local community and events


"Stays up all night yapping but sleeps while I work.

"Only eats the best, most expensive food. Will NEVER greet you at the door after a long day or give you unconditional love when you're down. Does not bite but she can be mean as hell!"

After all that, the payoff might be obvious, but it's clearly a diss this guy felt would get straight to the heart of the matter.

"So... Anyone interested in my 30 year old, selfish, wicked, gold-digging girlfriend? Come and get her!

"Me and my dog want her re-homed ASAP!!"

And the ad, which has been a big hit on Imgur and Reddit, had an addendum added just this morning: "Sorry but she has been re-homed her original breeders (her parents) have taken her back home.

"Molly and I are looking for a new one."

With such an acid tongue, it's unclear whether women will be queuing up for Molly's owner - or leaving him in the dog house.


 
Ha ha Cheers..That's the one arty...plus rep...:toke:

Love you too eP...:bighug:

Look at this..and Think what this is going to do to LED light useage..:cool1:

If you ever feel that your supermarket strawberries could be a little fresher, then this might be the innovation for you.

Marks & Spencer is working on a plan to offer shoppers the chance to pick their own fruit in the store itself. The strawberries would be grown in baskets under LED lights, and available all year.

The produce would be fed using water with nutrients that can enhance its health and taste.

Marks & Spencer is working on a plan to offer shoppers the chance to pick their own fruit in the store itself. The strawberries would be grown in baskets under LED lights and would be available all year

The idea is that shoppers would be able to try the strawberries before they buy by picking fruit from the plants growing on the shelves.

A prototype will be unveiled today at M&S’s flagship store at Marble Arch in London as the first step towards freshly picked fruit in the store.

It will be on show until Sunday and will give shoppers a real taste of the future.

The plants are grown in coir – a natural fibre that is a by-product of the coconut industry – which replaces the need for soil.

So-called hydro pebbles will provide nutrients and moisture while red and blue LEDs will provide light to promote growth.

It is thought there is some work to do before the store-grown fruit is widely available.

A spokesman for British Summer Fruits, which represents the berry industry and commissioned the prototype display, said: ‘The whittling down to just a single superstar berry will take up to ten years, until the chosen one is presented to the supermarkets to test on their consumers.’

Cartoonist Pugh on picking your own strawberries at Marks & Spencer. A prototype will be unveiled today at M&S’s flagship store at Marble Arch in London as the first step towards freshly picked fruit in the store


WOW WOW WOW HUH...?

If we can get every amateur gardener growing with a LED in their greenhouse over winter..the Eye in the sky looking for heat trace from canna grows will be completely Baffled....YAY......:worship:
 
Great story Aunty
LED strawberries in coco awesome.
Now I wan't to see which brand of LED they use.
It's a shame "Pugh" forgot to add the lights in his cartoon, he obviously didn't think they were significant enough..some people eh?
Hydro Pebbles? do they mean expanded clay pebbles? Is the news getting it all arse about tit or are they actually slow release fertilizer "pebbles" they are using?
Just using red & blue LEDs? sound like there maybe a good sales man in China, flogging of all those cheap UFOs from 4 or 5 years ago.

Heads or tails? Toothy grin completes prehistoric worm
Thursday, 25 June 2015

An artist's impression of Hallucigenia sparsa (Danielle Dufault)

For decades, scientists have been trying to piece together the anatomy of a tiny prehistoric worm so weird-looking that they named it Hallucigenia.

The stiff spikes on the long-extinct animal's back were long thought to be legs, while seven pairs of spindly limbs were mistaken for tentacles.

Now, scientists say the creature had not only been reconstructed upside down, but also back to front -- they found a pair of eyes and a toothy mouth in what was long thought to be its backside.

"Prior to our study, a large balloon-like orb at one end of the specimen had been interpreted as an amorphous head," says Martin Smith of the University of Cambridge.

"We can now demonstrate that this actually wasn't part of the body at all but a dark stain representing decay fluids or gut contents that oozed out of the anus as the animal was compressed during burial," says Smith.

The discovery is published today in the journal Nature.

Smith and colleague Jean-Bernard Caron of the University of Toronto, used an electron microscope to analyse dozens of Hallucigenia fossils in museum collections, and uncovered "astounding new detail" of the worm that lived on the sea floor some 505 - 515 million years ago.

After identifying the worm's derriere, they decided to take a closer look at the other end -- removing the sediment covering several of the fossilised heads.

"When we put the fossils in the electron microscope, we were initially hoping that we might find eyes," says Smith.

"We were astonished when we found not just a pair of eyes, but also a cheeky grin -- a set of teeth smiling back at us!"

Evolutionary clue
The team's analysis showed that Hallucigenia's mouth was surrounded by a ring of spiny teeth, probably used to suck up food, while the throat was lined with a row of needle-like teeth which possibly prevented its lunch slipping back out.

At a mere one to five centimetres long, the armoured worm lived during a period of Earth's history called the Cambrian Explosion, when most major animal groups emerged.

First identified in the 1970s, Hallucigenia's closest living relative is the toothless velvet worm, which in turn belongs to a vast family known as ecdysozoa -- animals like many insects and worms, lobsters and spiders which shed their exoskeleton.

Hallucigenia's newly discovered choppers led Smith and Caron to conclude that the ancestor of ecdysozoa must also have had a toothy mouth and throat.

"If so, this is very exciting as it helps us to constrain the timing of the origin of the group," says Smith.

It seemed to indicate that all ecdysozoan sub-groups split off "within a geologically brief 20-million-per period of rapid evolution, providing evidence for a rapid 'Cambrian Explosion'," he says.

A reconstruction of Hallucigenia's walking gait can be seen here:




Pretty weird huh?
