Security services in Kyrgyzstan have filed charges against a human rights group in a high-profile case that a leading watchdog calls "absurd." The charges are widely seen as an excuse to implement Russian-style legislation that would sharply curtail the activities of foreign-funded non-profits.
The State Committee on National Security (GKNB) charged two staff of the Human Rights Advocacy Center, an anti-torture campaigner in Osh, on November 20 with "inciting interethnic hatred," a source with intimate knowledge of the case told EurasiaNet.org. One was told that the former director of Freedom House's Kyrgyzstan office would also be charged.
The GKNB had outlined its case in a September criminal complaint, stating that an opinion survey distributed by the Advocacy Center posed a threat to national security and could reignite interethnic conflict in the country's volatile south. The Advocacy Center project was funded by Freedom House, which receives some of its funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
"The case implicating Freedom House, our partner, and USAID is utterly absurd. Not only is the investigation baseless, but we are worried that it is part of a larger trend of repressive measures targeting civil society, and that this is only the beginning of a crackdown reminiscent of the rest of the region," Robert Herman, vice president for regional programs at Freedom House, told EurasiaNet.org by email. "It is profoundly disappointing to see a country like Kyrgyzstan turn its back on its democratic promise."
Nine months after Kyrgyzstan and its largest investor outlined restructuring terms for the country's largest gold mine, negotiations are again sidetracked. With parliamentary elections less than a year away, some lawmakers are once more beating the nationalization drum.
The slowdown of Russia's economy is inflicting pain across Central Asia. But impoverished Kyrgyzstan has no choice but to stay close to Moscow, Prime Minister Djoomart Otorbaev tells EurasiaNet.org.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia suddenly found that its main rocket launch facility was situated in newly independent Kazakhstan. Since then, the two countries have periodically squabbled over the strategic Baikonur Cosmodrome.
In terms of statistics, unless they are the rosy government sort, Tajikistan often appears to be on the edge of an abyss. But somehow the poorest country to emerge from the Soviet Union chugs on.
So a grim World Bank report out this week probably does not indicate imminent collapse. But it is unnerving to see that almost every macroeconomic indicator suggests trouble ahead. And Tajikistan's latest predicament coincides with a push from Moscow to join Russia's new Eurasian Economic Union.
Tajikistan's economic dependence on Russia is, as economists have long warned, a liability—and not only because it gives Moscow enormous influence. "The possible spillover effect from the Russian slowdown onto the Tajikistan economy is estimated to be one of the largest in the [Europe and Central Asia] region: a 1 percentage point reduction in the growth of Russia's GDP would reduce growth in Tajikistan by the same amount," says the October 27 report, "Tajikistan: Moderated Growth, Heightened Risk."
For starters, over a million Tajiks, or about one-half of working-age Tajik men, labor in Russia, usually in menial jobs. Their transfers are worth about half of Tajikistan's GNP, making it the most remittance-dependent country in the world.
But as the Kremlin sacrifices Russia's economy for its Ukraine policy, which has caused a new low in relations with the West, the resulting downturn is hurting the ruble and Tajikistan's economy at large. An ailing ruble buys fewer dollars to send home.
Vaguely worded anti-gay legislation in Kyrgyzstan could send a reporter to jail for discussing homosexual rights, force LGBT-rights activists underground, and encourage violence against the community, activists say. Some fear it amounts to re-criminalizing homosexuality.
As the price of oil falls, and as Russia's Central Bank struggles to keep the ruble from hitting a new record low each day, Kazakhstan's currency is facing pressure on two fronts. The major oil producer, whose economy is tightly linked to Russia's, already sharply devalued the tenge once this year. But facing these new challenges, can the Kazakh National Bank hold its currency stable? And can Kazakhstan keep its books balanced?
Higher output and weaker global demand have pushed the price for benchmark Brent crude to $83 per barrel, its lowest in four years, down 27 percent since June. Oil, Kazakhstan's chief export, is still above the government's fiscal breakeven point of $65.5 per barrel, as calculated by the IMF. But it is below $90.6, where Kazakhstan faces a balance of payments deficit that puts further downward pressure on the currency. Moreover, trade with Russia is down 22 percent this year.
Kazakhstan's "tenge weakened in forward markets last week, responding to a drop in the price of oil and sliding ruble," Halyk Finance, an Almaty-based investment bank, said in an October 13 note. "The weakening of the Russian ruble and falling oil prices are the main fundamental reasons of the tenge weakening in forward markets."
Russia is Kazakhstan's main trading partner. And because of the falling price of oil, and the effect of sanctions the West has imposed on Moscow for meddling in Ukraine, the Russian currency has fallen nearly 20 percent this year. That has put the ruble-tenge exchange rate back where it was just before the tenge devaluation (see chart).
Lawmakers in Kyrgyzstan have voted overwhelmingly to adopt a tougher version of Russia's so-called "gay propaganda" law. The Kyrgyz version mandates jail terms for gay-rights activists and others, including journalists, who create "a positive attitude toward non-traditional sexual relations."
The vaguely worded bill passed its first reading on October 15 with a vote of 79 to 7, AKIpress reported (the 120-seat legislature is rarely full). During a meeting last week to discuss the bill, one lawmaker said the draft is not tough enough and proposed to increase sentences from up to one year to three. If it passes two more readings, the bill will go to President Almazbek Atambayev – a staunch Russia ally – for his signature.
One of the bill's authors, Kurmanbek Dyikanbayev, often sounds as if he is repeating Kremlin talking points. Dyikanbayev told Radio Azattyk last week that he sponsored the bill to protect Kyrgyzstan's "traditional families." He also blames Western democracy for moral degeneracy and for encouraging homosexuality.
Bishkek-based LGBT-rights organization Labrys, whose advocacy would be outlawed by the bill, notes that the legislation contradicts numerous human-rights provisions in Kyrgyzstan's constitution. Nika Yuryeva of Labrys said she fears the bill will encourage more violence against the LGBT community.
An Ontario court has frozen much of Kyrgyzstan's share in its largest industrial asset, the Kumtor Gold Mine, adding an awkward new twist to the epic saga over the mine's future.
Kumtor is fully owned by Toronto-listed Centerra Gold, which is one-third owned by Kyrgyzstan's state-run Kyrgyzaltyn gold company. Since early 2012, Kyrgyzstan has been trying to increase its share in the high-altitude mine, which accounts for over 50 percent of the impoverished country's industrial output and 10 percent of GDP in a good year. Early this year, the government and Centerra were moving toward an agreement that would increase Kyrgyzstan's share in Kumtor to 50 percent, but negotiations have stalled as some lawmakers continue to demand the mine be nationalized.
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruling favors another investor with no role in the Kumtor dispute: Stans Energy, which says Kyrgyzstan has failed to pay the $118 million in damages awarded in Moscow this summer related to a different mine site, Kutessay II. In July, the Arbitration Court at the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry ordered the Kyrgyz government to pay Stans in compensation for seizing the company's license to Kutessay II, a heavy rare earths deposit.
Stans Energy announced on October 14 that the court order "prohibits the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC ("KJSC") from selling, disposing, exchanging, assigning, transferring, pledging or encumbering 47,000,000 shares in the capital of Centerra Gold Inc. registered in the name of KJSC."
Tears welled up in Alexey Melnikov's eyes as a spaceship carrying three astronauts lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome several hours before dawn. The Russian-born, London-based computer programmer had wanted to see the breathtaking spectacle since he was a boy.

The revolving door keeps swinging at the Veterans Affairs Department. John Gingrich, the chief of staff, has announced plans to leave the agency by March 31 after decades in public service.
Gingrich made his announcement in a memo to staff, saying he had discussed his plans with Secretary Eric Shinseki earlier this year, according to Federal News Radio. Gingrich was named VA chief of staff in January 2009, after serving as president at consulting firm Strategic LINX, Inc.
Right before his private-sector career, Gingrich served in the Senior Executive Service as director for U.S. Army Strategic Communications Initiatives in the Office of the Chief of Staff of the Army from 2000 to 2003. His military career stretches back to 1971, when he was first commissioned a second lieutenant in Army artillery.
Gingrich's government career has not been without controversy. In October 2012, lawmakers called for his removal in the wake of an inspector general report noting VA's over-the-top conference spending. The department spent about $6 million for two conferences in 2011, after Gingrich had green-lighted an $8 million budget for three events.
In a statement to the IG, Gingrich owned up to his mistakes. "I signed the thing authorizing the conferences," he wrote to investigators. "So, I should have made sure the conferences were executed better. … And, I take the full responsibility. And I should have asked, probably, harder questions than I did."
Gingrich becomes the latest official in a string of recent high-profile departures from VA. Roger Baker, VA CIO, announced Feb. 15 his plans to step down. A few days later, news broke that VA CTO Peter Levin was also leaving. Additionally, VA earlier this year lost Jerry Davis, deputy assistant secretary for information security, who headed to NASA's Ames Research Center to become CIO.

Final Fantasy XIII Lighning Summons Odin Gameplay Movie
Check out Lightning's summon, Odin!
by Takeshi Hiraoka on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
I wish I could get this game now! I live in South Africa, so I can only get this game on May 30, I loved every final fantasy game (particulary final fantasy 10) and this one looks great.
OK, look. The voice acting is pretty good. It's just when you hear the same thing over and over again, it gets annoying. They can afford to have the voice actor supply a few more lines with the amount of return they are going to get on this game.
This game is going to ruin my summer LMAO! With God of War 3 coming out 7 days later.. FORGET ABOUT IT! JK but this game looks freakin awesome and I got a chance to get my hands on the Jap version and its great even if you dont know what your reading. CANT WAIT!
I hope you can shut off the voices.
ppl keep knocking the game and it hasnt even been released (US & europe)...every final fantasy so far has things that werent perfect but most of them have still been extremely good so just wait and give it a chance... and for those saying square has lost their touch, crisis core was pretty recent and was AMAZING!
@G4mBi7 Not everyone was disappointed with 12. don't generalize because you hated it and you THINK everyone else did. 12 wasn't really that bad. the first 3/4 of the story was weak, and the characters for the most part seemed kind of flat, but the sidequests and boss battles were pretty fun, and the gameplay, although very different, was pretty good. Seems to me like XIII is taking the good stuff from that and mixing it with some classic ideas and a umber of new ones.
honestly i don't care what any of you hater say. I am going to buy the game and enjoy the living daylights out of it. My guess is. That half of you who are nit picking at going to do the same. so see you all at the launch event in london. :P
Did that enemy actually move during that whole video sequence?
FF12 didn't really suck, was just different, still i liked FFX more, but 12 was still pretty good. Doesn't look like the battle will suck, its just that summoned creatures are simplified and are used as a special/last resort thing or just for showoff, as all other FF were like always. FF= visuals and storytelling in most games, which they are great in that. Still, from that battle video, they could've gotten a better voice actress for the protagonist... Let's see how she does during cutscenes...
The combat system looks like it's gonna suck, no skill involved. . lmao auto chain, u become a monkey just pressing confirm and the game will do the rest. dnt hate just cuz ur hyped up about the game. . we all got hyped for ff12 and were dissapointed cuz it sucked
gawwddd im so into the characters they're all hot, specially fang
i loooooooooove this game:)i'm waiting U8)
Thank you, Twi41. Having just seen the Bahamut movie, I was beginning to wonder how this whole Summon->Gestalt thing worked.
OMG looks tidious
This is pretty much how it works: You cast Odin and he appears next to you. From that point on you have to try to fill up the meter at the bottom right hand corner of the screen as much as you can before your summon's SP meter runs out. ( Your Summon's SP meter depletes at a fixed pace and can also lose quite a bit if it takes a big hit ) ( Your Drive/Gestalt meter starts out half full and can only increase ) Filling up your half-full purple meter will give you more points when you hit the square button to enter the Driving ( American version's "Gestalt" ) stage. In this stage you use the directional keys+X or Triangle / Circle to do various moves. Each move has a point requirement shown at the bottom left hand of the Driving/Gestalt stage. ( That's the little speedometer thing ). Once that reaches zero you will automatically use the ultimate attack which is an Area of Effect on everything. Btw, on the Japanese version she says "Zenmetsu suru", ( something like Annihilation I think. ) when doing that final attack. Neat stuff.
Wow. Almost real time? when using Gestalt? And we don't control the eidolon? we just control the character we were initially controlling? Confusing but I can't wait to play this!!! GameSpot uploaded so much possible-spoiler-warning-videos of Final Fantasy XIII. I'm so tempted to watch =S
The pink is linked to her Crystanium ( imagine a 3d sphere grid from FFX ). When going into her Crystanium the first thing you see is a giant pink flower and then it zooms out from there. That is more linked to her as opposed to Odin. Each individual has their own emblem/symbol. It's interesting to see the differences between this and the Japanese version. Keep in mind that I have never taken a Japanese class but I am a self study: In the Japanese version she says "kare ni makasete" when summoning Odin. [ Leave it to him ] .. and in the end she says " mata au " [ (Let's) meet again ] Hopefully things go great overall.
waw my god such beautiful so beautiful
I haven't played the game but this is only speculation but the pink flowers might be because of lightning, not odin. In other words, all her summons have pink flowers because they're her summons. Again, i have not played the game and this is merely a theory
I thought Hope and Sazh were supposed to appear in this video? Can't wait...24 days till Release!
Why did they make odin so girly with oink flowers he is soppose to be a ruthless killer

Survival Pod delivers emergency basics
By Mike Hanlon
November 25, 2003
The Survival Pod is a waterproof shelter, a storage unit for first aid and food supplies, an emergency stretcher, a water purification unit and even a lifeboat in extreme situations. The compact, durable design from Euforia Design was inspired as a response to the devastating and recurring flood situation in Mozambique that leaves hundreds of thousands homeless and bereft of clean water, food and shelter.
During the last major flood in February of 2000, more than 600 people were killed and 14,000 rescued by helicopters and boats. Camps are ill equipped to deal with the requirements for shelter and water quickly becomes contaminated with bacteria and disease such as hepatitis and cholera in these situations.
With these considerations in mind, the Survival Pod was designed cater for all essential survival needs and is constructed from easily made or readily imported low-tech materials, enabling manufacture in Mozambique, or other countries susceptible to flood disaster such as Bangladesh, with benefits flowing to the local economies.
The Survival Pod is made from bright orange (for easy visibility in emergency situations) rotationally moulded polypropylene in two identical halves and the handles are bent segments of extruded aluminium. The rest of the parts including the water filter and intake hose are pre-fabricated and can be attached to the housing using inexpensive brass fixtures.
The units also stacks efficiently to optimise space for mass transportation and can be purchased and supplied by governments or international organizations, and distributed before or during an emergency situation. Euforia Design recently received the Gold Award for Design Explorations in The Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) 2003 for the Survival Pod.Share

Samsung says the ST50 is 'ultra slim, ultra clever'. It's slim alright, with a stainless-steel body just 17mm thick, and its 'smart auto' mode does look pretty clever, selecting the right scene mode automatically without you having to lift a finger. But the 3x optical zoom and 12-megapixel sensor are very run-of-the-mill, so can it really be worth the average £180 asking price?
The ST50 is small but weighty. The stainless-steel finish is smart, and it's got a real air of quality about it. It starts up fast, the shutter button is big and easy to find with your finger, and the LCD is good too. The screen might not be big, but it's sharp, bright and the colours are saturated.
If you want to give your brain a rest, you can press the 'smart' button on the top and the camera goes into full auto mode, setting landscape mode, close-up mode, backlight mode or whatever else it thinks necessary, depending on what you're pointing it at. Or, if you want more control, you can press the smart button again to go back to the standard program AE mode. In this mode, you can press the menu button to fiddle with the ISO, white balance, EV compensation, photo style (black and white, sepia and so on) or whatever else you fancy.
Face detection comes as standard, together with smile and blink detection and a beauty-shot mode designed to smooth over those wrinkles. The ST50's movie mode isn't high-definition, but it does offer slightly higher resolution than normal, at 800x592 pixels, and uses the MPEG-4 format for more efficient compression.
Like other super-slim cameras, the ST50 gets knocked over very easily. For safety, you'll need to lay it down flat, not stand it up. You also have to watch where you put your fingers when holding the camera to stop them covering up the flash, and, although this is one of the slimmest cameras around, its lens extends in use, so you have to switch it off every time you want to slide it into your pocket.

Q1 -There are some who believe that politics, not religion and issues of legitimacy are behind after thee with some of the auditor of religion, on the one hand and with the
? Government on the other hand
: In the name of Allah
-The difference or dispute between the the difference or dispute between the scholars of religion lies in understanding the source (as a whole or in details and rules, and in understanding, diagnosing and accuracy goals of universality and integrity of of the application in reality and
on the resources, the facts, the incident, and in understanding and diagnosing conditions, floral borders and evidence surrounding the fact that, each vendor incident, .disagreement and difference , scientific disagreement , difference and debate are desirable and necessary
Q2-There are some who believe that politics, not religion and issues of legitimacy is the reason of the disputes between you with some religious scholars on the hand ,and with the Government on the other hand
: In the name of Allah
, First: The previous answer said that there is no disagreement between religious scholars in the sense that you mention, but as I told you there is no scientific debate and dialogue and disagreement only . You can ensure that this is the truth when you ask other scholars the same question .
Secondly: the dispute with the government if we consider it regardless of the type of government , its personalities and orientations loyalty, it is the same the dispute was between our Instructor the martyr Mr. Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr and the government , Also it is the same dispute between us and the government that arrested us, imprisoned us , tortured us and sentenced us to death . It is the same dispute between any religious scholar( who denies by himself , by his morality , by his doctrine and by his religion to be one of Sultan preachers and a worshipper of this life and its glitters for money or prestige or position ) and any unjust corrupted government , which is also the same dispute between any reformer and any corrupted government at his time . It is clear to us the disputes between the prophets , messengers , Imams of guidance , saints and reformer and the corrupted governments at their times.
If the duty of every human being to reform others and provide them with advice and must promote virtue and urge them to forbid vice . So the man of religion must be first and the most responsible to perform this duty for consequence to Allah
It is his commitment to legitimate humanitarian moral duty causing him the disagreement with corrupt government in his time and this is a social rule and a social fact in life as long as the time .Therefore if you want to rename all those differences other than political or other than behind policy, you have the option to name it so because it is not a matter of term
? Q3- Do you have statistics on the number of your muqalidin (followers) in other countries than Iraq
In the name of Allah : There is no statistics , and only Allah knows
Q4- How do you respond to those who say that one of the differences between you and some of the religious scholars is due to the conflict about Al – khums( the funds derived from five ) taken from followers
: In the name of Allah
- First: The answer has become apparent of the foregoing, where shows you that the disagreement is restricted to scientific side
Secondly : I don't blame you when you change your tone of speaking to be severer than before , I mean you use " conflict " instead of ' difference " . Also I do not blame anyone says the same and thinks and believes or expects that the conflict is about Al – khums( the funds derived from five ) ,because people and we witness the acquisition of Al –khums , Al – zakat (alms ) and others by using commercial , cunning ,devious and cheap ways by using the name of religion, doctrine , the poor , the orphan and widows . They are cunning opportunistic cheap ways devoted only for taking and stealing people's money and accumulating it , exploiting it and spending it for the sake of their own benefits , minimum belongings , properties and Qaroon stocks in different countries all over the world . All these things cause suspicions and doubts and lead to accuse and charge . And if we add the bitter and worst which is the use of this money in shameful immoral behaviour ,the suspicion and doubt will be deeper and clearer , this is painful and sorrowful , though it is not right to generalize this de******ion about all scholars .
Each sane can be fair to be informed of the biography of each person , his agents and everyone related to that person then make an objective assessment away from the emotion , selfishness and capricious , after that let reason give the judgement and it will arrive to a picture ,a rule in general and diagnose the total regarding every person considers himself a religious or social reference . Here suspicion is objective and every sane person must seek truth by himself . And the base and the beginning of justice is that we must be free of intolerance, worshiping persons and hypocrisy. If we reject , deny and never accept or reason the theory that all the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah on him and his household) were just , then we must first reject , deny and never accept or reason that the representatives and the agents of every religious reference .
As long as whittle speak to this extent, we must remind every sane person that as the relationships between the prophet(peace and blessings of Allah on him and his household) and his companions and the relationships between The Imam ( peace be upon him ) and the religious references according to the hadiths and evidences which refer to imitation and following .Therefore as we deny and never accept or reason that the theory that all the Companions were just and impeccable , also did the same with the religious references . Consequently we must measure according to the right , and not to measure the right according to men . If we know the right , we shall know the men of right .
Q5 - How do you respond to the accuses your magnanimity and misleading your followers by claiming that you are the most knowledgeable religious scholar and that you talk with Imam Mahdi and that you are having tea with Him
: In the name of Allah
First: Oh Allah, curse the imams of error, of erring, aiders, Oh Allah , curse every stray misleading, false god anathematize each revelation, Oh Allah , curse every false sinful.
Secondly: moral , legitimate , humanitarian and professional duty imposes on just and respectable person not to believe whatever said ,especially when it is said against others and accusing them if we can easily verify the credibility of this speech . And slander, calumny and lewd lying mentioned in the question and the like can be verified its credibility by asking any follower about the reason to follow ( imitate ) this scholar and asking him about the proofs and the evidences that make him follow this scholar . Also everybody can enter the official ***site of this person or this scholar and see what he has of proofs and evidences that prove his claim to be a scholar or getting the degree of due diligence in religion or the most knowledgeable religious scholar , or send a message requesting these proofs and evidences , and also we can use many ways .
. This is certainly the moral , legitimate , humanitarian and professional duty of academics and intellectuals of professors, scholars, writers, artists, writers, and journalists, academics, and other scientific cadres .
Thirdly: What the sane wise person would say if he knew that the reference of the scholar we mentioned above does not allow anyone to follow the scholar without obtaining the scientific evidence or proof and according to the Fundamentalism and jurisprudence researches .
Fourthly: In proceedings religious ,social and reforming campaigns resources in community along the history we can notice highlight methods of fighting others with dirtiest and worst ways justifying these acts on behalf of religion and under the cover of religion , and by this they can change the halal into non-halal and the non-halal into halal and according to this lying , calumny , slander , hypocrisy and the violation of the sanctity of the others become halal to them , even they consider these acts a duty that they must perform .That all is because they are unable to face the others with moral reasonable scientific proofs. It is the mental dictatorship and the way for gagging mouths and confiscation of the mind and the thinking and confiscation freedom and the humanity of Man , as a result people will be forced to believe them and follow them . It is so clear for you how the prophets , the messengers , the saints and good men was accused of lawsuits , madness , being magicians , being weak of understanding and challenge the descent , especially the prophet Isa ( Allah's blessing and peace be upon him and our Messenger and his household ). Also it is not so far that the same thing of lying , slander , distortion and stabbed happened against our Instructor the martyr Mr. Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr , Here should we believe whatever they claim ?
We shall never be surprised from the attitudes of those scholars which are similar to the Jewish scholars at that time when we know the prophet's modern which includes the meaning that " What had happened in Bani Israel will exactly happen in this nation step by step " . It is a Divine Law . The Honest Prophet had said " You shall surely follow the habits of those who were before you step by step ,even if they get into a hole of a lizard , you will do the same …."
Also said " You shall surely move in the same path of those who were before you step by step , and you shall perform just like them span by span , or arm by arm even if they get in a lizard 's hole ,you will do the same "
Fifthly: It does not hide for everyone that the incapable of logical scientific ethical confrontation, he resorts to bestial mockeries methods , like insulting , recourse, It is the arm of the incapable and they have been using it with me since many long years . If it is agreed to that a religious influence authority that has control and govern in the name of religion, the enmity here become doubled and greater because it will be systemized, structured and meticulously planned and run by the government and the power itself , because they realize that this right claim threatens their throne and their existence ….and when it reaches the countries and parties that consider you threatening their project , their power and their existence , the enmity will be unimaginable . I record some words regarding this corrupted cheap slander, calumny and lewd lying , I am going to convey them to you hoping that this addition will make the answer completed , sufficient and eloquent and integral
(Liars and Pieces of timber propped up (unable to stand by themselves
: Peace be upon you ,his mercy and his blessings
In spite of your being displaced , being chased and being oppressed , you are not away from the events of the society , and of course you heard lies and fabrications against you through satellite channels , internet and e-mails without any proofs revealed from Allah by those who agreed to be the hands of the damned devil and play its role indicating that they may be able to reduce your magnanimity and your high scientific position ( they will fail and lose ) , some of those are of high religious positions in the religious school and having many juristic or fundamentalist or doctrinal or historical. Books , like Sayid…………. , Sayid………….. and Sheikh …………….., Those whom when we ask them about your most knowledgeable religious scholar , your scientific proofs and your researches , we get Surprised in answers no relations to it in the question , They answer by some claims and lies against you and accused you , that you said and acted the following ( He claims to marry his sister to the Imam , or he drinks tea with the Imam ) . When they could not cheated us by these tricks and misleading and insisted to get the scientific and legitimate moral answer , and deny these charges and that you did not confess these charges and emphasis that . We also show our astonishment charge you without investigation or checking , Some of them had already prepared the answer like ( I did not check the resource )… or ( the resource is not trusted )…or (on the responsibility of the narrator ) , or ( I did not check it myself ) and so on . Here we give you some of their claims that issued from their original resources or their trusted resources such as broadcasting channels , e-mails , internet ***sites or in the introductions os some of their books , or when they answer of some questions , or in some oral answers of the same personalities mentioned above , so they dedicated their irresponsible cheap pens , mouths and media but they , by doing so , uncover their ugly faces and their satanic souls , and behave without humanity when they rejected to listen clear calls of right .
Dear Sir : What must our moral , legitimate and historic reaction and attitude be towards these false charges so as not to in the tricks of human satans , and to be innocent before Allah , the Almighty , and before Imams of the prophet's household . Also to be the real chosen supporters of the Forth Expected Imam ( Hastily of Allah Protecting His Virtue Al-Sharif ) and his right deputy the author of " Al – fiker Al- mateen " with and the perfect hard proof
: The answer includes many points
: (1)
{ ( He claims to marry his sister to the Imam "peace be upon him " ) ,(He sits and speak with the Imam ""peace be upon him " ) or ( he drinks tea with the Imam "peace be upon him " ) All these words and phrases are false , untrue and counterfeit , and I never said , Allah damns me , Allah damns me ,Allah damns me , and Allah , His angels , His messengers and the people damn me if I say these words , falsehoods , myths and lies .Allah damns me till the Dooms Day if I say false lies . Allah damns ,Allah damns me , Allah damns me , Allah , , His angels , His messengers , His prophets and all people damn me if I agreed or shall agree to say such phrases or these untrue words .

It is also The rulers of injustice and imams of misguidance and their deviant preachers who try be nearer to the leaders of atheism of Umayyad and Abbasseen and those who followed them on the same deviant misleading untrue approach .
: (3)
Those who claim that they are men of knowledge , analyses and writing know and realize that such style of speaking mentioned above influence the reader and the listener , and it is conveyed through broadcasting channels , satellite channels , newspaper , ***sites and the like , it will have great impact on a lot of listeners and readers . that means the claimer who convey the speech in such way is Disingenuous shifty stray lasciviously, shamelessly commander of atheism and imam of misguidance and he is one the best and most obvious images of The Charlatan ( Anti Christ ) because he know and realize that his words , the idea and the meaning will be received by others and in the same time he cheated those people that he uses the scientific style , that he did not convey these word directly from The person of the defendant and that he said " the resource is not trusted or I did not trust the resource or he had not check it yet " . and the like o misleading , cheating and hypocrite phrases.
Almighty Allah says in holly Quran (( When the unbelievers see thee , they treated thee not except with ridicule " in this ( they say ) : the one who talks of your gods ? And the blaspheme at the mention of (Allah )Most Gracious ))
: (4)
Some speakers and claimers who are of high scientific , social and religious positions who wrote many books regarding the issue of Imam Al-Mehdi Ibn Al – Hassan ( peace be upon him and our souls are sacrificed to haste his appearance ) those people ( after noticing what we have mentioned before ) are the real examples and applications of what Almighty Allah says (( When thou lookest at them , their exteriors please thee ; and when they speak , thou listenest to their words . They are as ( worthless as hollow ) pieces of timber propped up ( unable to stand on their own ) . They think that every cry is against them . They are the enemies , so beware of them . The curse of Allah be on them . How are they deluded ( away from the truth ) …))
Also He says (( The similitude of those who were charged with the ( obligation of the ) Mosaic Law , but who subsequently failed in those obligation is the donkey which (carries huge tomes (but understand them not

Regiligously , morally and historically Everybody must always follow the scientific proof and evidence for ever . Yes , everybody must search to know the scientific proof , recognize and diagnosis it by reason and thinking with faith and sincerity , and divesting of this minimum life and its fancy , and after the atheism false deities and al- 'Uzza idol and Al- lat idol and their assistants , followers , supporters , preparers , and those who are satisfy and be silent about their unjust , ugly and corrupted acts . After knowing the scientific proof and evidence (jurisprudence of and assets ) within the zone of Al- Ijtihad ( the ability of religious lawmaking ) and Taqleed ( following the religious scholar ) , here everybody must follow and obey the most knowledgeable religious scholar who has the scientific proof and evidence . It is the religion of Allah and His right way when He ordered the reason first to come , then to go away , He represented by this example that : According to reason He recompenses , and according to reason He punishes . This is my evidence , I put it in front of our savior , our intercessor , the greatest Prophet of high and great morality ( peace be upon Him and His household ) ,and in front of his grandson , Imam Mehdi , the right guidance of the nations , the unifier of the decision and the savior of all mankind ( peace be upon Him and on His grandfathers ) and in front of the Almighty Allah who has the power , who hearth everything , who seeth everything , who wisdom , who has greatness .
Q6 – What qualification makes you different from other religious scholars , and what is the addition that you produce to the doctrine on the level, thought and jurisprudence and legislation
:In the Name of Allah
Firstly : All what I produced is due to Allah's graces and guardianship ; therefore I consider myself not producing anything , but I was and still negligent and minor to produce enough and ask God to forgive me and give me support , assistant and good consequence .
Secondly : To make a comparison with others and a recognition is done through scientific effects ( books ) in Fundamentalism and jurisprudence researches , and that is the evidence and the proof of the religious scholar , otherwise he is originally considered not to a scholar . I have issued many researched in these fields , and they are available in the libraries and bookshops , and everyone can get them , read them , evaluate them and compare them with other other scholars' researches . Also I have issued many long and short researches in research in ethics , beliefs, interpretation , history and others.
Thirdly : In the opposite of fawning and opportunism and conflict on the positions and interfaces and funds and cozying up to owners of the authority , Allah granted me to show to public the science that He has gifted me to push suspicions and major ordeals that devastated the community in and outside Iraq , especially that ones which tried to attack and lessen the value of the right doctrine and Islam in general . These ordeals are of sermons , lawsuits ,guardianship and to end legislative assets or to delete them Under the pretext of self-direction self-connotation of letters and so on …One of these ordeals is that one of ( Alim Sbeat ) and of ( Ibn Al –Hassan Ibn Gati'a ) which spread in the society generally , and especially in the Community of cultural and scientific, academic and religious studies , Without any movement from any scientist or diligent or higher authority or reference minimum or mid-degree reference …and those who responded or wrote just use atheism , censure and insults against others . without using any legitimate ,scientific and moral evidence or proof to destroy these ordeals . With assistance of Allah and His support , I issued scientific researches , and supervised others which proved that these ordeals are false , and destroyed them for ever . You can get these researches from the bookshops and read them .
Fourthly : I am very proud to say that I followed the approach of two Instructors : Mr. Sadr the First , and Mr. Sadr the Second ( Allah bless them ) and I do my best to complete their scientific , social , moral and legitimate message by proving that what they had done was true ,and by defending them honestly and fairly and by proving that the accuses and charges which are recorded against them are all wrong , and I am adding everything new that completes their scientific and moral message . This moral , scientific and social biography (in addition to its benefit and fruit in self – matching between them ) helps us to discover and know those opportunist people socially , religiously and politically by making use of the names of the two martyrs , Mr. First Sadr and Mr. Second Sadr to achieve their personal limited benefits which are harmful to others , and these benefit are also against good behaviour and religious wills , so those people become shameful to the two martyrs ,the Imams of Moslems , the prophets and messengers ( peace be upon them )
Q7- How do you explain the last attacks against you through destroying your mosques and closing your legitimate offices ?
:In the Name of Allah
Almighty Allah says ;
( Perish the hands of Abo Lahab , Perish he . No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains . Burn soon will he be in a fire of blazing flame )
:Allah also says
(Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the people of elephant . Did he not make their treacherous plan go astray .)
:The Prophet ( Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household ) said
" ....You shall surely follow the habits of those who were before you step by step ,even if they get into a hole of a lizard , you will do the same
The Prophet ( Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household ) also said
" You shall surely move in the same path of those who were before you step by step , and you shall perform just like them span by span , or arm by arm even if they get in a lizard 's hole ,you will do the same "
:The answer includes points
Firstly : According to the mentioned above , it is obvious that Allah's rules and historical rules ensure the existence of good and evil together every time and everywhere . So every nation should have Cain and Abel , Musa and Pharaoh , Honest Christ and Charlatan Christ and Guiding Messenger and misleading Charlatan . …The proof is the violating of sanctities , destroying the mosques of Allah ,so , there must be Abdul- Mutalib and the man of the elephant , and there must be oppressed Hussein and Yazeed . So in our time , there must be a new Ibraha who destroyed the ( Mohammad Baqir Al-Sader mosque ) and violated sanctities and frighten people who were praying . We pray to Allah to ignominy and torture him with Pharaoh, Pharaoh's followers , everyone supported , assisted him and agreed to his acts in the world and the Hereafter , Allah is the most just Judge .
Imam Abu Abdullah ( peace be upon him )said : " Anyone threatened a faithful man by a Sultan to hurt him ,So he is in hell ,even if the Sultan did not hurt the faithful man "
He ( peace be upon him ) also said : " Anyone threatened a faithful man by a Sultan to hurt him ,So he is in hell with Pharaoh and Pharaoh followers ,when the Sultan hurt the faithful man "
Imam Abu Abdullah ( peace be upon him )said : " Anyone supported somebody against a faithful man , even by mere a word , will meet Allah and on his forehead written : despaired of the mercy of Allah ".
Secondly : Allah's Will wanted to make the oppressing of the mosque and of those who were praying in it , and the crime of destroying the mosque and arresting and torturing the prayers the discovery of the wicked and corrupted souls of those who order , perform and carry out these ugly unjust crimes ,and it is the same to those who support , assist and satisfy these acts . Allah's Will wanted to compare the crime of oppressing and destroying the mosque just like the crime of slaughtering The Baby Abdulla ( the baby of Imam Al – Hussein ), and the crime of chasing those who were praying just like the crime of chasing and arresting the women and the patients of Al- Hussein's household in Karbala and of His companions' . The ugliness of these crimes is absolutely beyond dispute , argument and discussion , even to those who have hostility and aversion , in addition to those who follow us and like us and every just person. These crimes are the evidences about other unproved ( or hidden ) crimes against houses , honours and wealth of the country .
Their ugly denied crimes towards people never compete with them about political positions , parliamentary , ministry positions and any official positions or never compete about stealing the country wealth such as money or oil …. Then how will be their reactions and crimes against those who may represent danger or threat to their political , ministry and official positions ,or represent danger to their pouring and stealing the money , oil and natural resources . Here we can prove that the crime of (the mosque of Mohammed Baqir Al- Sadr ) is the evidence that clearly proves other crimes .
: Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him ) said
" Almighty Allah said : let 's authorize war against any one harm my faithful worshiper , and let him be safe of my anger anyone honours my faithful worshiper "
Imam Al- Ridah (peace be upon him ) said ;
" The muslim is not allowed to frighten any other muslim "
Imam Abu Abdulla (peace be upon him ) said ; that the Messenger of Allah ( Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household ) said " Anyone looks to his faithful brother to frighten him , Allah will frighten him on the Domes Day "
Thirdly : that the Messenger of Allah ( Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household ) said " O , worshipers of Allah ; be brothers . Any muslim should be the brother of other muslim , never to oppress him , never to let him down and never to humiliate him "
Imam Abu Abdulla (peace be upon him ) said ; that the Messenger of Allah ( Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household ) said " Almighty Allah has created the faithful person of His greatness , His majesty and His ability , So anyone stabbed or responded against him , responded against Allah "
Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him ) said : " Anyone narrated words against a faithful person so as to make him outrageous and demolish his virility , Allah will dismissed him out of his guardianship to the guardianship of the Satan , and the Satan never accepted him "
Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him ) said : " Any faithful person lets his brother ( in faith ) down when he can supports him , then Allah will let him down in this life and in thereafter "
Here I can say : Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sader is still under a continuous oppressing , he was oppressed in his life and even after his death by using ugliest , wicked and despicable ways . Here everybody must triumph and victory his messianic , scientific , legitimate and moral approach which he sacrificed himself for it . Therefore we must not oppress out Master Al – Sadr , not to let him down in the eyes of the people, not to harm him , not to respond against him , because it is responding against Allah. Yes , not to respond against him , because it is responding against Allah .
Here I am obliged to uncover some of the secrets that my instructor Mr. Mohammed Sadiq Al –Sadr had informed me and I could understand and be aware of and memorized . Perhaps what I am going to , some people know , so it shall not be uncovering of a secret for them . I shall briefly mention only one short image of the many oppressing images that happened to : Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr .
: I mention it in points
In some period of time ,there was active movement to establish parties and organizations without any part of Shiite Islamic orientation .So many of the young Islamic men joined the organization of ( Al –Ikhwan Al – Muslimeen ). Anyone here may ask : How did that happen ? where were the sectarian ? And why is the sectarian nowadays controlling our life and the politicians made it their food , their breath , their weapon and their fruit ? Can the sane person believe that the politicians are following and completing those politicians who were before them ? Are the religious scholars in our time following and completing those scholars who were before them in supporting ن? the messianic revolutionary Islamic youth
After the non Islamic parties spread , and many of the universities young students , including sons of the high religious scholars' families , had joined these parties . Therefore this was one of the motives for many young people especially those who were joining these parties and the organization of ( Al –Ikhwan Al – Muslimeen ) to found an Islamic party .
After not short period of time of founding this party and for many reasons , some personalities of the leadership in this party moved towards Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr and they asked him to join and lead the party or give the instructions to its cadres . After many attempts , Our instructor was shyly compelled to accepted , may be ,he was convinced at the beginning .
But his joining to this party did not last long , because the souls were corrupted , or their corruption become obvious, and their reality was discovered . They became disobedient , and they went subside the right way and they followed only their own benefits and obtaining power . Most of the leading cadres were like that . Due to this state , Our instructor was compelled to withdraw , and he ordered the all to withdraw ,and that it was forbidden to join or stay in this party , But only very few people obeyed . Therefore we conclude that Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr did not originally found a party by himself . In fact he joined a party and quickly withdraw and order others to withdraw .So why did some people say that he founded a party or that he supported or assisted a party ?
Now you must have many questions , just like me when I first heard these information . You are wondering why Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr did not joined any party and got support from them and he did not assist any party . But why did he was always saying that all these parties were client and opportunist ?
By this short image , we can imagine how much was Our instructor Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr oppressed when a party claims that it represents him , and he was the founder of the party , and the party is following the approach that he planned to . Was the approach Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sader to make the ugly sectarian ,and to frighten people under the cover of sectarian and to force people to migrate , to arrest , to kill , mislead them and oblige them to accept oppressing ,indignity and corruption in the name of sectarian ? Was his approach to destroy mosques and violate the sanctity of them and of the praying people in them ? Was his approach to violate the sanctity of the houses and to arrest its people?
Therefore , how much oppression was there against you my sir Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr before and after you death ?
Yes , our sir Mr. Mohammed Baqir Al –Sadr , you were oppressed before and after you death . We are certain that you were really oppressed when we hear some information the man
( whom you describe him that he was the sacred religious scholar ) when they entered him to you to say to you these words : " We know that your arrest is just a fake play made by Al- bathiyeen ( Saddam's followers ) in order to make you more important in the nation and to let you act the role of the hero, but we know that you are client to America ,and it is useless for you "
The poet said ( The relatives; oppressing is harder on than the sharp sword )
Then you caught your beard and wept saying : ( The sacred people accused me that I am client to America )
Allah might help your heart when ( Fadel Al- Barrak , the security general secretary at Saddam's time ) said to you " I can tear the reports which are against you I received by myself , but I can not anything about those one that come from Al –Najaf religious scholars directly to the leadership " Then he showed you some of these reports .So you wrote in one of your letters
" News was after you talk pomp and multiple campaigns all recruited against your friend , mean against me , so as to destroy him… a lot of charges and strange matters…. till there were some of those whom the Alakhunda Community called them sacred and noble , but they did not stop charging me "
I do not consider it suitable now to uncover more …I just record and prove to the right doctrine ,to Islam , to history and to humanity that it was the same words and the same play have been done by Al- bathiyeen ( Sadam's followers ) in order to make you more important in the nation and you are a client to America and Israel , but this time the scene was with the Martyr Mr. Sader the Second , that was in the jail and after the jail . The same situation happened to me in jail and after the jail . it is funny in this place that makes us laugh and cry at the same time when I said to them " Then why are competing and pay a very great care , and you are quarrelling so as to mislead simple common people , taking and capturing their money and the money of their children under the cover of the legitimate rights , you take the money for the sake of your own and your sons and your relatives , so you are competing to take the a role in the play instead of us , so Al –Ba'athiyeen would arrest you , and you will be the heroes of the play and so it would be better for the nation ? Then you will get bigger size in the nation , so you will not be clients to Saddam , America and Israel .So Why do you have a shortage in this field , then triumph the religion and doctrine , triumph the nation when you are the heroes of the play .The false charges and accuses of the play and being clients to regime , America and Israel are not reactions or wicked or spontaneous personal opinions , but it is intelligence style starting with the beginning of the arrest , so they prepare to make him fall since the beginning , and they ensure that when Mr. Sadr gets out of the jail , he will find people getting away from him as first reaction , and even accusing him that he is a client , and releasing him is a part of this play according to their rumours of the sacred Alakhunda community , so they are preparing minds and souls to suspect Mr. Al-Sadr , like when they told people to wait and to see how he be released and there will be no execution , if he were against the government , they would execute him . People will believe them because of ignorance .The same thing happened with the Second Sadr , they said that the government allows him to talk against the government , so as to be hero and the people follow him , and they all will be clients and under the government's control . Here ignorant and stupid people belied them . But When he was assassinated turning to be near his Lord and under His mercy , many of those misled people repented and were very sorry because the believed those liars and stood against him and left him , so they began to seek a way to re- imitate him again , There is no strength except in Allah the Almighty the greatest …
The same thing happened with me when I was in jail of the security office in Baghdad , every some time we received new prisoners . They got surprised , wondering and amazed when they see my state because of the mental and physical torturing . They told me that ,outside the jail , they heard that Mr. Serkhi is in a restful state , and everything of rest conditions are available to him like hot and cold water, heating , he was eating good food with the officers . When I was released from Saddam's and Al – Ba'ath's jails by the grace of Allah , I found the same rumours .The same rumours I heard at my home , but I heard more than this . Some of those who visited me at home said to me that I had furniture in the room which I was arrested in , and there were a desk , books , copybooks and pens , also I was busy writing books . Do you know what the furniture was : it was a room of one meter width and two and quarter meter length with half blanket to sleep on and to cover with, and put on a Summer short and they took the shirt, so for many months I was only with this short . There was only one plastic plate for eating , drinking and washing after WC . About water , it was only cold water and I was arrested at the end of December ,so it was very cold . After many days, weeks and months , and a little before the coming of American troops , things became better , they gave a blanket and a cup for tea , but there were no pen , no paper, no desk and no book .S o have you heard or read such cheating tricks and misguiding ? But where did they go ? Where are they going ? And where are we going ? To the grave , and Allah will be the just ,great judge (( And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take ))
Glory be to Allah and there is no strength except in Allah the Almighty the greatest …and we are to Allah and to Him we will return. I ask Allah to pardon me and forgive me , and peace be upon you my two sirs the instructor Mr. Al –Sadr the Second the instructor Mr. Al –Sadr the First ( Allah bless you )
We ask Almighty Allah not to gather us with those oppressing people , and not to gather us with them for satisfying their acts or for being silent and not to triumph the oppressed Sadr , and so we may be of those who let him down or stabbed him and acted to fall him and oppressed him and by this we get out of the guardianship of Allah to the guardianship of the Satan and we be gathered with pharaoh and pharaoh's household in hell …. So we be honest in our words and our acts in following the approach of First Sadr and Second Sadr and their white clean biography in knowledge and work and to be good for them , not bad on
? Q8- There are some people accuse your followers in carrying out the attacks by sound bombs against some agents of the scholar Mr. Ali Al- Sistani
: In the Name of Allah
Glory be to Allah ; Why should they do that ? What is the motive ? And what is the benefit of such actions ? Is it reasonable that we who claim having the evidence and scientific , legitimate and moral proof , and employers of good argument and the way of wisdom and kind preaching , and we always pray to Allah to make us oppressed not to make us oppressing ; this is our approach and our biography for long years and everyone witness it . So we never permit this and not allow it . Here we must ask : Who will get the benefit behind this actions within the political crises , calamites and disasters in Iraq ? All these actions are for the foreign interests . Yes , they are all for the interests of foreign parties and states , not for the interests of Iraq ? Many long years ago , we warned , and now we warn from these quarrels , which are on behalf of others , will destroy everything and burn the green and the ground and will be endless at all ,because these competing states will never have agreement among them , and if it happens , it will be through dividing Iraq among them , then we shall lose Iraq and the people of Iraq …We must ask : Why are the police guards of the religious scholar references withdrawn or …. In such circumstances and in such period when there is a rumour that the the role of the religious references is over , and their period stage is over too, and there must be other alternative ? With the existence of all these opposite interests and quarrelling parties and the role of the security and intelligence systems of these parties , we expect every oppressing , corruption and ugliness in Iraq, we never expect stability , security and safety as long as we are following others , yielding to others , and we have no will . therefore, and according to this state , there is no salvation,
no salvation, no salvation :
(( Allah never changes a state of people , until they change themselves ))
.We ask Almighty Allah the guidance , rightness and salvation

"Enjoyed the suspense"
A very enjoyable listen. Had some good twists and plenty of suspense. Went through it faster than I usually go through books because it kept my interest and kept me wanting to know how the next situation turned out. A little corny in places, like when the narrator kept whispering the word "dead", but all in all a good story with an excellent narrator.

The knoll forms a conspicuous landmark in Wörner Gap area, overlooking Huron Glacier and upper Perunika Glacier. It was named after Kuzman Tuhchiev, participant in the 1993/94 Bulgarian Antarctic campaign and base commander at St. Kliment Ohridski during the 1994-96 seasons.
The feature is named 'Tukhchiev Knoll' by the U.S. and British Antarctic naming committees; "Kuzman Knoll" is the official Bulgarian name, which is established among the Spanish and Bulgarian scientists working in the area.
First ascent by the Bulgarians Kuzman Tuhchiev and Vasil Gurev from St. Kliment Ohridski Base during the 1994/95 season.
The knoll is located at 62°38′09.8″S 60°09′42.4″W / 62.636056°S 60.161778°WCoordinates: 62°38′09.8″S 60°09′42.4″W / 62.636056°S 60.161778°W which is 1.1 km north-northeast of Camp Academia site, 1.1 km east of the midpoint of Wörner Gap, 3.68 km east-northeast of the summit of Pliska Ridge, 4.07 km north-northeast of Mount Friesland, 3 km southeast of Mount Bowles and 3.32 km southwest of Atanasoff Nunatak (Bulgarian mapping in 1996, 2005 and 2009, from 1995/96 and 2004/05 topographic surveys respectively).

Glass and Perlite
i purchased a magnificent 3 stem, black, spinach leaf aralia and a week later noticed EXTREME leaf drop.
i removed it from the nursery's container and discovered
root rot.
i lost two of the stems, but saved the third(largest) one with hydrogen peroxide and razor blade surgery.
i put it in a glass container w/ 1 layer lava rock, 1 layer charcoal and the rest is perlite.
it rewarded me with strong, shiny black leaves and is doing very well.
i decided to do the same to ALL my indoor plants. went to the thrift shops and got beautiful glass containers. you can see the water level, they weigh one-third the amount of heavy clay/soil pots and grow like crazy.
there're no fugus flies or any other infestation with the perlite.
i've already had to repot (reglass) marantas and "dizzyies"
because they're growing so fast.
once a month they go outside and get "neemed", but are treated the same as you normally would.
perlite is inexpensive and can be reused over and over after being rinsed clean, glass comes in SO MANY different containers (shapes/sizes).
i pay anywhere from 35 cents to $3.00 for the glass vases.
So no drainage holes? I used to do something similar, but with just perlite for the entire volume of the glass container. It worked incredibly, but only up to a certain point. Once the roots had spread throughout most of the container, I started seeing symptoms of saturated/anoxic root zone conditions. I believe the general strategy is called hydroculture or aquaculture, depending on the source.

The beautiful choral classic Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein will be the featured piece at the Master Singers of Milwaukee concert on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be at Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, 2366 N. 80th St, Wauwatosa. Tickets can be purchased at website www.mastersingersofmilwaukee.org. Ticket prices are Adult $18, Senior $15, Student $10.
Chichester Psalms was commissioned in 1966 to be sung at Chichester Cathedral. The text was arranged by the composer from the Book of Psalms in the original Hebrew. The Psalms is an affirmative and, at times, peaceful composition. Master Singers will be using the accompaniment Bernstein arranged for organ, harp and percussion.
In the instructions for the performance of the piece, Bernstein recommended that the central solo should never be sung by a woman, only by a boy treble or a countertenor. Paul Fowler will be the featured soloist for the countertenor solo. Fowler is a graduate of the Milwaukee High School of the Arts, Ithaca College and University of Michigan. Presently he lives in Boulder, CO, where he's a composer and teacher.
MSM will also be singing the Chandos Anthem No. 9, O Praise the Lord with One Consent, by George Frederick Handel. The work was commissioned in 1718 by the Earl of Carnarvon, who later became the Earl of Chandos. The texts from Psalms 119, 135 and 148 are in eight movements, sung by the choir and soloists.

I had a trade with mary_mo. I sent her very nice seed grown passiflora plants several inches tall and in excellent health and she was to send me a rooted trumpet vine several feet long as she stated to me in an email. What I got was a piece of vine that has no roots and was less then a foot long. When I approached her about this she said she would resend me another one that my box got mixed up with another. I waited a couple weeks and she told me last week she sent a new one and I have still not gotten anything..I dont beleive anything was sent and she does not answer my email now.
If I do end up getting the vine we originall agreed upon then I will come and make a note of it.
Never got any plant, dont suspect I will. She has given me excuse after excuse as to why I have not gotten anything...but today I got a very interesting email from her, I am sharing this because I hope none of your have to deal with this person like I have. I have pictures of what I sent her also and others that got some of the same plnts can vouch for me also.
I fully expect she will retaliate and give me all kinds of negative feedback with all kinds of lies, I am prepared for it. Here is her email to me today.
Mary Mary Mary,
You know what? You are a usual hypocrite. 'glowofhisglory' I mailed your f***ing plant. It came back because I taped over the postage because the stamps weren't sticking well to the bubble envelope. I blacked out the stamp that says it was returned which you will see, and I tore off all the old tape and stamps and put more on. Your plant wasn't fabulous by the way. It's barely 4" tall. I sent you a healthy trumpet vine plus seeds in case they didn't grow.(The bigger one did go to someone else, but you did get a healthy plant and seeds which were a bonus.) It may not have been 2-3 feet long, but it should be by now, even with all your b****ing. The other plant is on it's way in the old package to prove it was returned to me. I don't give a sh*t anymore. Leave bad ratings. I don't care. I did give you more than an honost exchange for your puny 4" plant. Who do you think you are? Enjoy your plant and stop thinking you are so righteous. Leave all the bad comments you want. You will get it by Tuesday at the latest. The minute you leave bad comments, I will do the same. I'm sick of your stupidity. "As I suspected nothing..another lie." You should have put a comma behind suspected, and 'another lie' should have been it's own sentence. It is a statement. It isn't even a statement as it is a hunch. You have received a healthy trumpet vine, seeds and the vinca has been re-postaged and mailed. WTF? Your little trade was a joke but I have humored you up until now. To recap for you: You got a healthy trumpet vine plus bonus seeds with your trade. You are getting a bonus with the vinca.
vine. Now, F**k off! Leave negative feedback and you will get 10x that back. You are not special. Your plant was a joke. Even today, I will take pictures and post them of your plant if you so desire to be judgemental. Go pray about your righteous indignation."
Extremely bad trade...recieved smashed plant in a bubble envelope, not worth anything. Never recieved a healthy plant at all...would never trust this person to trade with.
So many lies and filth an junk plants.
I sent very healthy seed grown passifloras even more then the trade was for....what a shame they went to such a crap home. Oh well live and learn.

Ellen Marie Leppek-Roza
Ellen passed away surrounded by friends and family Wednesday, Nov. 26 after and eight-month battle with a rare cancer. Elle loved the ocean and was a real life "Baywatch" girl, working as a lifeguard in Santa Monica and Malibu while attending college in Southern California.
During her college years, Elle lived in London, France, Russia and ended up in New York before returning to Southern California.
Inyo County staff and leaders and various organizations and individuals attended Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting to honor longtime First District Supervisor Linda Arcularius, who will be retiring at the end of the month.
During her time on the Board of Supervisors, Arcularius has overseen a number of projects, including the construction of a new jail in Independence in the early '90s, the early discussions on Adventure Trails three years ago and much more.
Read the full story in the Thursday, Dec. 18, 2014 edition of The Inyo Register.
Two segments of the City of Bishop's premier promotional video are posted on the Internet as the development of the project progresses.
According to filmmaker Ryan Christensen, who is producing the video with the input of various members of the community, the goal of the film is to portray the uniquely strong sense of locals' emotional bond to one another, and to the surrounding environment as well as "inspire more visitors" and invigorate the local economy.
According to Google, which released a report Tuesday on the top trending terms of the year, the top term overall was "Robin Williams," after the well-known and popular comedian died in August. No. 2 was "World Cup," the global soccer tournament held in Brazil in June. Third on the list was "Ebola," the highly contagious virus.

After nearly a year of shuttered windows and locked doors, the Whiskey Creek building and property located at 524 N. Main St. in Bishop are now for sale.
Broker Randi Pritchard of Eastern Sierra Reality, Inc. said Monday that the building and property are being listed this week. The asking price is $1.5 million.
Pritchard said the price on the building does not include fixtures, furniture or restaurant equipment, which is owned by Sam Walker, who originally owned the Mammoth Lakes Whiskey Creek, and not the group of local individuals who are selling the property.
Inyo County leaders continue to look into the possibility of constructing a new county office building at the intersection of Wye Road in Bishop.
The county is currently in lease negotiations with Joseph Enterprises of Bishop, which owns the property.
Last week the Board of Supervisors held a closed-session lease negotiation with Joseph Enterprises to work out a land exchange. The county is proposing to trade a piece of property it owns south of Jack in the Box in Bishop for the parcel at the northeast corner of the Wye Road/U.S. Highway 6 intersection.
In an effort to avoid litigation, the Inyo County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to amend the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the Munro Valley Solar project, a four megawatt solar facility in Olancha.
This week's amendments request that the developer, Munro Valley LLC, keep the project as far away from U.S. Highway 395 as possible and conduct archeological studies before a building permit is issued.
The Big Pine Chevron Gas Station and Food Mart was forced to close recently for not meeting environmental requirements for its secondary containment system.
Gas stations are among some of the most stringently regulated businesses in the state, overseen by multiple departments and agencies. They are required to have multiple backup systems to protect the environment which includes everything from airborne pollution to groundwater contamination.
Underground utility work on the Warren Street Improvement Project continues this month as the City of Bishop prepares for concrete work scheduled to commence early next year.
"We have a lot of work now complete," said Public Works Director Dave Grah. He went on to say that the contractors working on underground utilities along the Warren Street corridor worked with the communityto minimize impacts. He added that underground construction work always poses challenges, and the contractor and city were prepared to handle those issues.

I'm unable to get the discount code to work today. Is the deal still on?
Just ordered 2 10 gallons, one for HLT and other for BK. The stainless pot I have now is just a little too small for 5 gallon all grain batches, I keep getting boilovers. This should remedy it nicely.
When will the kettles ship?
Ordered one up, looking forward to full boil AG batches!
Batch counter: 109 batches (11/29/11-3/16/15).
