Compare Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, The President of Iran, with any leader of Islamic or non Islamic countries. Compare his simplicity and love for his country with the politicians of Pakistani politics (dont even consider the ministers or any top leadership! Only such determined and selfless leadership can save Pakistan.
This is why Iran cannot be defeated by any Zionist conspiracy!
The Zionist Lobby is actively working to take over Pakistan! Its time that we wake up and take back whats ours!
This video gets even more intresting towards the end. It seems the NWO's Agenda is preparing to their next mission..
Peace be upon you!
Nearly three million (30 Lakhs) Muslims from around the world, chanting "Here I am at Thy service O Lord, here I am. Here I am at Thy service and Thou hast no partners. Thine alone is All Praise and All Bounty, and Thine alone is The Sovereignty. Thou hast no partners." " and raising their hands to heaven, marched through a desert valley outside Mecca in Saudi Arabia today on the first day of the annual hajj pilgrimage.
Dressed in seamless white robes symbolising the equality of mankind under God, the pilgrims hiked through the eight-mile valley to Mina, starting a series of rituals in which they cleanse themselves of sin.
"For us it is a vacation away from work and daily life to renew yourself spiritually, " said Ahmed Karkoutly, an American doctor from Brownsville, Texas. "You feel you part of a universe fulfilling God's will. It's a cosmic motion, orbiting the Kaaba."
Former Priest Describes His 'Spiritual Journey'
Arab News
Ali Guatemala
JEDDAH, 29 December 2007 — Many new Muslims came to perform Haj this year to strengthen their faith by undertaking the spiritual journey. Some came as guests of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, some with the financial support of philanthropists and charitable organizations and others on their own.
Ali Guatemala, a former priest, came to perform Haj along with 17,000 other US Muslims.
According to a report in Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Severedoo Royes (Ali's Christian name) was attracted to Islam after he read the opening verse in the chapter Al-Baqara (The Cow) of the Holy Qur'an.
He said conversion to Islam had changed his whole life. "After graduating from the seminary, I worked as a priest in Queen City, southern United States, and I used to engage in missionary work inside prisons," said Ali.
In order to improve his missionary skills, Royes started reading books on other religions, including the Holy Qur'an. "It was a turning point in my life," he said.
"When I read the first verse of Chapter Al-Baqara: 'This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guidance to the pious,' it struck my mind. I pondered about this verse, which gave me the impression that the author was speaking clearly and definitely without having any doubt."
Ali said he had found a lot of contradictions in Christianity while studying at the seminary, adding that senior priests were unable to provide satisfactory answers to his questions.
"They advised me not to read the Qur'an, branding it Satan's work. This increased my interest in the Qur'an and I found that it was not the work of a human being," he said.
""As time passed by I became increasingly convinced that the Qur'an is truly a divine revelation, inimitable and impossible to be the work of any human being.
"I went through a turbulent period of inner conflict but I was firm in my prayers that the Almighty should guide me to the true religion. "
Guatemala prayed to God to show him the right path. "One day, when I left home I found a man in thobe going to the mosque for prayer. His name was Salim Baaqeel. I went with him to the mosque and noticed that there are no ceremonial rituals in Muslim prayers as in Christianity… After that I visited the mosque daily for a week," he explained.
"While I was sitting in the mosque, a person came to me and offered to teach me how to do 'wudu' (ablution). I thought that it was a kind of black magic but he explained to me that it was for purification before prayer. On that day I declared my decision to embrace Islam at the mosque," he added.
Ever since he became a Muslim, Ali has been facing a lot of pressure from his family, including his sister, who is Jewish. "She used to frighten me by saying that Muslims would kill me… Her attitude changed after she observed positive changes in my life. When I informed her about my plan to perform Haj, she asked me to bring a souvenir from Makkah for her," he said.
Haj was a wonderful experience for Guatemala. "I consider this spiritual journey as the best days in my life. It gave me great pleasure when I learned that the places where I spent during Haj had the footprints of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I cannot explain my strong feelings when I saw the Holy Kaaba for the first time with my naked eyes."
Abdul Qader, Abdul Rahman and Abdul Raheem — three former African priests — also performed Haj this year. They converted to Islam after they understood the truthfulness of the religion during a debate with a preacher called Qamar Hussein.
The debate, attended by 5,000 people, led to 147 people embracing Islam, according to Al-Jazriah Arabic daily.
The former priests said they were enthralled seeing the amazing scenes of unity and equality among Muslims during the Haj. They came to perform Haj with the support of the Riyadh-based International Authority for Introducing Islam.
"It's good news that these three priests came to the fold of Islam as a result of the efforts of one of our preachers," said Saleh Abdul Wahid, the authority's executive director.
There is no doubt
[003:025] But how (will they fare) when we gather them together against a day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without (favour or) injustice?
[004:087] God! There is no god but He: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than God's?
[006:012] Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To God. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.
[010:037] This Quran is not such as can be produced by other than God; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the worlds.
[017:099] See they not that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, has power to create the like of them (anew)? Only He has decreed a term appointed, of which there is no doubt. But the unjust refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude.
[018:021] Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of God is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."
[032:002] (This is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt,- from the Lord of the Worlds.
[042:007] Thus have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Quran: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities and all around her,- and warn (them) of the Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt: (when) some will be in the Garden, and some in the Blazing Fire.
[043:061] And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
[045:026] Say: "It is God Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most men do not understand.
[045:032] "And when it was said that the promise of God was true, and that the Hour- t here was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm assurance.'"
[074:031] And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth God intend by this ?" Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than awarning to mankind.
AsSalaam O Alaikum (Peace be always with you. AMEEN.)
And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the UNJUST . (Al_Quraan_005. 045)
And the followers of the Injeel should have judged by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the TRANSGRESSORS . (Al_Quraan_005. 047)
'Say : O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we at least are Muslims, bowing to Allah's Will". (Al_Quraan_003: 064).
Differences Between Shiaa and Sunnee
As for those who Divide their Religion and Break up into Sects, thou hast NO part in them in the least (Not Muslim any longer): their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. [Holy Quraan 6: 159]
And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute among yourselves, for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient. (Al_Quraan_008. 046)
Shiaa's Beliefs
Sunnee's Beliefs
Shahadah: Declaration of Faith:
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 'Ali is the Friend of Allah. The Successor of the Messenger of Allah And his FIRST Caliph.
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
Adhan: Call to Prayer:
Shiaa have a different call to prayer.
Sunnee have a different call to prayer.
Shiaa have a different method to do Wudu.
Sunnee have a different method to do Wudu.
Shiaa offer Salaat differently including placing the forehead onto a piece of hardened clay from Karbala , not directly onto the prayer mat when prostrating.
Sunnee offer Salaat differently.
Shiaa tend to combine prayers, sometimes worshipping three times per day instead of five.
Sunnee usually do not tend to combine prayers other than in the Hajj, so having five times a day.
Shiaa have different timings for Fasting.
Sunnee have different timings for Fasting.
Shiaa have different Zakaat System.
Sunnee have different Zakaat System.
Shiaa have different Hadeeths
Sunnee have different Hadeeths
Shiaa BELIEVE that an Imam who is the successor of the prophet must be clearly and openly be appointed by the Messenger of God. Shiaa also BELIEVE that the prophet of Islam appointed all the twelve sinless Imams as his successor's, one after the other. These Imaams have direct knowledge from God, and their verdict is the verdict of God.
Sunnee's Imaams / Scholars are not like Shiaa Imaam. They are human being and may do mistake. "They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!. (Al_Quran_009. 031)". O, You who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful (Guided Imaam or Scholars, not limited to twelve ). (Al_Quran_009. 119) .
Abusing Khalifas
Shiaa curse and abuse sahabas including first three Khalifas:
Abu Baker (RA),
Umar Farooq (RA),
Usman Ghani (RA).
The Sahaabah (RA) are those that transmitted the Deen to us. Sunnee love all Sahabah and all Khalifas, including Abu Baker (RA) {father-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)},
Umar Farooq (RA) {father-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)},
Usman Ghani (RA) {son-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)} and Ali (RA) {son-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)}.
Sunnee also love Hasan (RA) and Husain (RA). No Sunnee is Sunnee if he denies these fact. How come a Sunnee will not love those to whom Rasool Allah loved a lot. Rasool Allah loved his grand sons a lot.
Aisha (RA) Wife of Rasool Allah (saw):
Shiaa Curse Aisha (RA).
The Prophet (saw) has a greater right over the Mu'mineen than they have over themselves, and his Wives are their (the Mu'muneen's) Mothers. (Al_Quraan_033: 006)
Yaa Allah Help only:
Shiaa ask help from Ali (RA) by saying Yaa Ali Help.
It is Crystal Clear SHIRK (associating partners with Allah) to ask help from someone other than Allah, who is not in this world. According to Sunnee thought it is BANNED to marry aMUSHRIK or Mushrikah.
Seeking Help from those who are in the Grave:
Shiaa ask help from those who are in the Grave.
It is Crystal Clear SHIRK (associating partners with Allah) to ask help from someone other than Allah, who is not in this world. According Sunnee thought it is banned to marry a MUSHRIK . According to the Quraan: If you pray unto them they hear you not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware. [Al_Quraan_035. 014] .
Muttah: Temporary Marriage:
Shiaa permits Muttah – Fixed-Term Temporary Marriage.
Muttah (Temporary Marriage) is BANNED in Sunnee, since it is not in the Quraan and it opens the door for Prostitutes by fooling Women. Marriage between a man and a woman means to live together for their whole lives, unless there is no way to live together.
Question: on the Day of Judgment:
What could happen on the Day of Judgment, if the Sunnee Believe is CORRECT?
What could happen on the Day of Judgment if the Shiaa Believe is CORRECT?
If you pray unto them they hear you not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware. [Al_Quraan_035. 014]
All films al-Qaeda and the Taliban in several languages
Attacks that have continued across Pakistani towns and cities are being blamed on Tehreek e-Taliban, Pakistan's Taliban.
However, the group has issued its first video statement denying involvement in targeting civilians and has blamed external forces for at least two recent blasts.
Azam Tariq, a spokesman of the Tehreek e-Taliban, posted the video statement on YouTube on Monday.
The message refers to a bombing at the Islamic University in Islamabad, which the spokesman said was orchestrated to prepare the ground for a military operation in South Waziristan, a stronghold for Pakistan's Taliban fighters.
He also said his group had no role in the bomb blast in a Peshawar market that killed at least 100 people as well as an attack in Charsada, a town located in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.
Tariq said Taliban attacks never aimed to target civilians, but that the explosions were linked to Blackwater activities in the country.
Blackwater is a private military and security company founded in the United States.
Propaganda war
Kamal Hyder, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Islamabad, said: "Even when those bomb blasts did happen, the Taliban denied they had anything to do it."
He said: "It was surprising to see that it [the video message] came up on the al-Sahab video. That is the Al-Qaeda wing of media publicity."
Blackwater has denied having any contracts in Pakistan.
Hyder added: "There is a growing anger among Pakistanis. If one looks at the type of attacks that have been taking place – indiscriminate attacks the first thing that came out, even reported by local media, was the blaming of Blackwater and other American agencies.
"The public opinion has turned against the Americans. The video that has appeared today would be trying to capitalise on that."

Sometimes I think we don't like ourselves very much. At least that's the way it sounds when you hear people having conversations where they are telling others things like "I'm so stupid" or "I'm such an idiot". I even catch myself doing it sometimes, especially when I've done something that really was pretty silly. (My son calls those my "Ruthieisms", but that's a story for another day.)
The thing is, even though we usually do like ourselves just fine, we don't always think about what we say and how it will affect not only our moods, but how other people perceive us too. The more times you tell yourself you're stupid or an idiot or fat or ugly or any of those negative thoughts that put you down, the easier it becomes for your subconscious mind to believe them. When that happens, no matter what your conscious mind thinks, it's the negative image you present to the rest of the world. And that can have a devastating effect on your health and your wealth, as well as your self-image.
The good news is, you can change your thoughts about yourself by changing the way you talk to yourself. Because it stands to reason that if negative self-talk has a negative effect on your subconscious, then talking to yourself in a positive way will have a positive effect.
How Do I Practice Positive Self-Talk?
Positive self-talk, or talking like you like yourself, is something that might take a little practice if you're not used to it.
The first thing to do is pay attention to how you do talk to yourself. Watch what you say and how you say it, whether it's out loud or just a thought to yourself. How many times a day do you catch yourself saying things that you would find really hurtful if someone else said them to you?
As soon as you notice a negative thought, immediately replace it with something positive. Find something good in the situation where you would normally beat yourself up, and give yourself some well-deserved praise instead. Even in the most negative of situations, there's usually at least one glimmer of light that you can latch onto to feed your positive self.
This works even when you're not focusing on yourself. If you can find a positive thought in any situation, even if it takes a little work or a little imagination in the beginning, you will soon start to see only the positive aspects of any challenge you find yourself dealing with.
The trick, if it can be called a trick, is to make sure you are watching yourself and practicing talking like you like yourself every single day. Even when you're doing daily tasks like washing the dishes or walking the dog, make sure you take a second or two to say something positive to yourself.
If you find yourself in a situation that's stressful or filled with negativity, take a second to look for its positive aspects. Once you find that something good may come out of it, then you can look more objectively at the situation and give yourself the positive pep talk you need to get through it.
Using affirmations can also help you to improve your positive self-talk. Consistently reaffirming to yourself that you are indeed intelligent, beautiful, powerful and positive is a great way to boost your self-confidence and banish those negative thought patterns for good.
When you master the art of talking to yourself like you like yourself you will feel happier, be less stressed, have more energy, and present a more confident image to the rest of the world.

If you are looking for a wedding venue with a mix of contemporary sophistication, traditional elegance and style the Chester Grosvenor could be just right for you. Owned by the family of The Duke of Westminster this 5*hotel is situated on Eastgate at the heart of the historic city – so don't be surprised if your confetti photographs attract attention from passers-by! And of course, if you are looking for a church ceremony, Chester Cathedral is only a stone's throw away.
Luxury venue
To get a feel for this luxury venue, why not treat yourself to a light lunch in the Parisian atmosphere of La Brasserie, or enjoy one of several versions of Afternoon Tea. (Grooms-to-be take note: the Afternoon Tea for Gentlemen comes with doorstep sandwiches and chunky chips!)
Whether you have 2 or 240 guests, the Chester Grosvenor pride themselves on bespoke service. Wedding packages are a starting point for you to personalise, but pampering in the Spa and a luxurious bedroom come as standard. There are three modern wedding suites, but EmmaJane and Grant chose the beautiful Drawing Room with its traditional décor. After EmmaJane's bridal entrance down the grand staircase we loved capturing the intimate cosiness of this room in photographs of their ceremony.
A city with history
A short chauffeur-driven car ride around the historic surroundings gave the newly-weds chance to be alone together, and then they returned to a red carpet greeting and confetti. Afterwards, guests chatted and enjoyed canapés on the spacious first floor landing whilst champagne flowed. The space is perfect for an intimate drinks reception, whilst the impressive chandelier forms a dramatic feature. A feature of all buildings of this type is that the ambient light levels are low, so as a contrast we took the opportunity to find window light in a nearby suite for some relaxed photographs of the happy bride and her friends.
5* cuisine
Then it was time for the wedding breakfast. The Chester Grosvenor offers 5 star cuisine from menus designed by Michelin starred Chef, Simon Radley. This is an unashamedly luxurious venue; notable guests have included Princess Diana and the Queen has visited too. It is may not be ideal for large numbers of young children, but if a 5* experience and service is important for you and your guests, The Chester Grosvenor is a wonderful Cheshire wedding venue.
We hope you enjoy these photos of EmmaJane and Grant, and if you are thinking of the Chester Grosvenor for your wedding and would like to know more, please do get in touch.

Love this post from Design Sponge, Sewing 101: Curtains. It is a step by step tutorial on how to make a simple set of curtains.
I've always made things myself because first of all I love to make and create things, second of all its cheap! My problem though is that I'm really terrible at following a pattern or planning out the piece I'm going to make. I more or less like to wing it. But in the long run it works out!
For example: my kitchen curtains.

Welcome to news, views and satire you can use. Anyone offended by this can be assured it is purely intentional. For comments on this blog: firstname.lastname@example.com ★

İbrahim Kaypakkaya —Com Gonzalo—Who is the greatest Marxist of our time?
That means that he never really died: his spirit still lives on because the struggle continues. This struggle is a part of proletarian internationalism."
There are the famous Marxist theoreticians who are read and respected by Marxists the world over, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Antonio Gramsci, Rosa Luxemburg, and José Carlos Mariátegui. There are examples of Marxists who are given hero status, such as Kim Il Sung, but he is studied and deified more in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea than in any other part of the world.Comrade Gonzalo (Abimael Guzmán) is a logical choice for Latin America since he led the most successful guerrilla movements and rebellion in that part of the world since 1980. Harsh Thakor, who wrote the article, did a lot of work to explain what Gonzalo did to organize people and the theories he developed as he put together the Communist Party of Peru's political and paramilitary movement. From 1980 to 1992, the year of Gonzalo's capture, the PCP was running a very successful civil war. But since that time, the Peruvian government has made public claims that the entire leadership of the PCP has endorsed peace talks to end the "people's war." there has been a dispute between supporters of the movement, mostly from the Peru People's Movement, (there web site is presently off line) that claim the peace accords are a hoax and that the PCP is still dedicated to continuing the "people's war." Statements made by Gonzalo and his comrades indicate that they are still dedicated to Maoism.

Below are a couple samples of the photos I took and then some samples of how the photos have been used in marketing, advertising, and sales sheets. (As a side note, all the pieces were photographed individually as seen in the beginning of the slideshow; the crew at Feeney then took these individual photos and put them all together in post production).

The idea was to download and create some form of collab with this image - digital or otherwise
Our first contest didn't get as much response as I hoped so since there were only 3 entries... I decided to just send all 3 participants an art grab bag of some - just for being good sports. You are welcome to vote for your favorite still. Here they are, in no particular order.

While traditional burial is still the most popular type of funeral in America, cremation is becoming more and more popular. More people are choosing cremation because it is simple, affordable, and environmentally friendly.
What Is Cremation?
Cremation is simply a heat-based process of changing a deceased person to ash and particulate matter. The temperature in the brick-lined retort is raised to between 1,500 and 2,000 degrees, usually via natural gas. Ashes are either scattered, buried, or retained in vessels called urns.
Cremation is simple. It's clean. The process takes no more than four hours, and since it requires no embalming or other processes, it's considered environmentally friendly.
Before choosing cremation, you may want to take a tour of our cremation facility, so you can see how simple the process is and learn more about your options. We would be happy to arrange this for you at any time.
Your Loved One Never Leaves Our Care
When your loved one arrives at Leavitt's, they will immediately be given a metal ID tag and tracking number. This system includes arrival date, time and our technician's name, and it allows us to keep track of them at every stage of the process. Personal items are logged in at this stage for return to the family.
Every person is unique. That's why creativity is key in all of our cremation arrangements. We can help you create healing memories with flowers, special music pieces such as a bugler or bagpiper, or even dove, balloon, or butterfly releases. All funeral messaging can be created with custom printing options.
Design a farewell that is as dignified and respectful as a traditional service. There are as many ways as there are wishes at Leavitt's.
For Those Who Choose Scattering
Scattering of ashes is a significant ceremony that is rich in meaning for both the deceased and the living. Ashes can be simply poured and scattered on land or sea, if permitted by local laws. This process is important to discuss in advance with both those who will be scattering the ashes, as well as your funeral director. We want to make sure that along with a sense of closure, you also receive a permanent memorial for family and friends, if that's important to you.
You can preplan your own cremation, just like you would a traditional funeral, and by preplanning with Leavitt's Mortuary you can eliminate the need for your grieving family to have to guess at your wishes or to hunt for a crematorium they can trust. Both you and your loved ones will rest assured knowing you are in good hands when the time comes to say goodbye.
Cremation costs also continue to rise as it becomes a more popular choice, so you can save by planning yours now and locking in today's price. This way, you are in control.

In response to the problem of packed and dense urban spaces that the residents of Japan often find themselves caught in between, local Japanese architect and design studio Yuko Nagayama & Associates have constructed building called Katsutadai House in the city of Chiba, Japan. This isn't just a regular residence though -- it is actually a dual space that features the ground floor for commercial purposes and the top floor for residential purposes.
At the ground level, a pastry shop occupies the space, fitted with an angled glass ceiling that allows natural light to flow into the pastry shop. Behind the shop, the entrance to the residence can be accessed via a side door. there is a physical air partition that separates the two spaces -- home versus shop. The residence occupies the second and third floors.

"Some of Atlanta's top business executives and community leaders have been tapped to help retool the city's signature Peachtree corridor," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "The group's mission is to help turn the Peachtree corridor into a world-class thoroughfare, with a unified pedestrian-friendly design that may include streetcars rolling down the spine."
The group is headed by two developers, who believe that parts of the district "lack density and urban sophistication, making the stretch pale in comparison to major thoroughfares in other cities."
This is an important point. Even though the neighborhood already boasts "some of the city's poshest homes, fanciest restaurants and hottest boutiques," the article notes, creating an overall experience is critical. The presence of nice homes, eateries and stores isn't enough; you've got to tie it all together in a way that makes an appealing, coherent and unbroken streetscape.
In other words, even if you add new residences and businesses as part of downtown revitalization, it's not enough as long as you also, say, still have a suburban-sprawl-designed wholesale business across from your transit station, or a stand-alone appliance store set way back from the roadway. Now there's absolutely nothing wrong with a wholesale plumbing business or an appliance store! I've gone to both myself, and they are fine enterprises with a lot of good merchandise. But the way they're designed creates big holes in the streetscape in the critical zone around the T station, if your goal is to entice people using the trains to stay and experience the business district. Those same stores sited up at the sidewalk with attractive window displays for retail passers-by would make a major difference.
The Atlanta group will "look at everything from landscaping and lighting to sidewalks and street-level retail," according to the newspaper report.

I was raised on a farm near Legal, Alberta. I worked in the oil patch (wireline for Computalog) and in June 1998, I received my real estate license. In 2001, I acquired my broker's license and bought the franchise rights to Exit Realty in Whitecourt and Fox Creek and never looked back.
I enjoy being involved in my community. In addition to being a football dad, I have been involved with the Pumpjack Players Theater Group, Knights of Columbus and held office as a School Trustee for about 6 years. In October 2013 I was elected as a councillor for the Town of Whitecourt.
Over the years, I have worked in many different areas of real estate which have included: residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial sales.
I am part of Alberta West Central Real Estate Boad (AWRA) as well as the Edmonton Real Estate Board (EREB) for those clients that want to deal with a local REALTOR when dealing with property in Edmonton and surrounding area.
No matter what your real estate needs, I can help!
Quebec and Alberta are both places I have been proud to call home; making me fluent in both English and French. Involvement in community activities and committees are important to me and I consider myself a woman of action. Currently, I am a member of the Oil Wives of Whitecourt, plus I bring support to the Community Lunchbox Program. In the past I was a director with the Chamber of Commerce.
In 2006, after being a teacher for 10 years, I became a REALTOR. Real estate is an industry I thoroughly enjoy and I want your real estate experience to be a positive one. I will work to earn your business - I always strive to offer my clients the highest level of service, market knowledge, integrity, attention to detail as well as honesty and loyalty. I guarantee that I will negotiate the best possible price for you. My past clients have said that I go above and beyond in taking care of them. My referrals will provide you with the best possible team of mortgage specialists, lawyers, home inspectors, and other industry members. I love my work and it shows!
I work through text, email or phone, so feel free to contact me the way most convenient for you. Together, we will make your move a remarkable experience!
In 1991, I moved to Whitecourt from a very small town in Saskatchewan. It was a big change for me coming to such a "large" community. Whitecourt has continued to grow, and when I look back, the changes are amazing! I enjoy living here with my husband and two children and the opportunities, activities and functions that Whitecourt has to offer.
I enjoy my exciting, challenging career in real estate. If you are new to town or are looking to move, give me a call, and I will help you with all of your real estate needs.
I am looking forward to working with you!
My family moved to Whitecourt in 1991 and I've loved living here ever since. This town offers something for everyone, and its been great to watch it's growth over the years. I'm involved in my family owned local logging company which keeps me up to date on one of Whitecourt's largest industries. I was licensed as a Real Estate Agent in 2008 and took my Broker's license in 2012. I strive to provide my clients with honest and reliable service. I enjoy all the outdoor activities this town has to offer and love living in the Snowmobile Capital of Alberta!
Putting the Client First!
I believe our little town has the heart of a lion and you will love it here! We may be small, but we have an unbelievable, caring community.
I have lived in the Fox creek area for 26 years, raised 4 boys and now have two wonderful grandchildren who all still live and work here. I believe in giving back to this awesome town of ours! Currently, I am the Food Bank Treasurer, a Chamber Of Commerce member and belong to the Lions Club.
Putting my clients first—that's what you can expect from me. In over ten years as a real estate professional, it has been my mission to be honest and truthful with my clients. I have always been able to go back and have coffee with my clients. To me, that is what working in real estate is all about—doing my job to the best I can and being friends when that job is done. I will always show you the latest comparable properties whether you are selling or buying. This will help us determine the latest market values.
With my hard work and integrity, I know I can help you with all your real estate needs here in Fox Creek!
Let's have coffee!

Mirny Diamond Mine
Mirny Diamond Mine is an open pit diamond mine located in Mirny, Eastern Siberia, Russia.
The mine is the 2nd largest excavated hole in the world, measuring a diameter of 1200 meters and a depth of 525 meters.
Diamonds were discovered at the site in 1955 which led to the excavation process which started in 1957.
The location of the mine made the excavation incredibly difficult. The 7 month long Siberian winters made the ground hard to penetrate and the extreme weather conditions were even known to burst the tyres of vehicles working in the mine.
The surface of the mine was closed in 2001 and filled in, in order to allow further mining to continue underground. The underground mines were closed in 2004. The mine still remains a gaping hole in the ground.
Tours to the mine are available from:

Boy George on George Michael's final years
Boy George is remembering George Michael, a day before the one-month anniversary of the singer's death.
On Tuesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live, the star shared that he was in touch with Michael "on and off" and was "not really" aware of his personal issues.
"I read stuff in the papers," George, 55, said about Michael's health. "But I never really knew really what — he really kept people out, he was quite private."
Michael died on Christmas Day at age 53. His U.S. publicist told PEOPLE that the musician had died of heart failure.
On their relationship, George, whose music career paralleled Michael's in the '80s, told WWHL host Andy Cohen that the pair were rivals before pals.
"In the early days, we were competition to each other. Both called George, both made soul music. So in the early days, we were really in competition," he explained. "Then sort of later on, I started to really appreciate him as a musician — you know, right around 'Faith.' I started to really appreciate his talent."
The two stars were rumoured to have feuded over the years, and George set the record straight regarding a specific quarrel they had about Michael not wanting to come out.
"We did, it wasn't really a feud," George recalled. "In the '80s, everyone — Peter Burns, me, we all used to be really bitchy about each other. It's like the thing that you did in the '80s with those pop magazines. Now it's the Housewives who do it!"
Concluding, "But in the '80s, you just said vile things about everyone."
Following the news of the former Wham! band member's death, tributes poured in for Michael and George was one of many from the music world to share condolences.
"I am thinking of @GeorgeMichael's family, friends and fans right now," he wrote in an extended tweet. "He was so loved and I hope he knew it because the sadness today is beyond words. Devastating. What a beautiful voice he had and his music will live on as a testament to his talent. I can't believe he is gone."

Today marks the 150th anniversary since President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address.
But what does four score and seven years even mean? How long was the speech? How many words?
Here is a 150th anniversary quiz that promises to both test your knowledge of the address and provide new insights into the speech and the circumstances under which it was delivered.
1) 275
2) 198
3) 272
4) 203
There are only 272 words in the famous speech.
1) One minute
2) Two minutes
3) Three minutes
4) A minute and a half
It took Lincoln roughly two minutes to give his famous address.
1) The Gettysburg Address
2) Memorial Speech
3) Remarks
4) Speech Thing
Simply labeled as "remarks," Lincoln was never under the impression that he was to give a speech, but to simply dedicate the opening of the Soldiers' National Cemetery.
1) Five
2) One
3) 11
4) Three
There are five separate copies of the speech written by Lincoln himself, but only two are from before he gave the speech, with the other three being written after the fact as favors for friends and colleagues.
Of the two that were written before he gave the speech, there is much debate as to which one was the one he held while giving the speech, as both write-ups are missing several words and remarks that Lincoln actually said.
1) One
2) Seven
3) 12
4) Eight
Lincoln was the third to last person on the program and the last speaker.
1) Jefferson Davis
2) Rev. T.H. Stockton
3) Edward Everett
4) Rev. H.L. Baugher
Everett gave a two-hour address, which, seeing as how he was the main speaker for the day, was not that unusual at the time.
Afterwards, Everett would contact Lincoln, saying, "I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."
1) 51
2) 74
3) 47
4) 87
A score is 20, so four score in 80 years, plus an additional seven. This refers to 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was issued.
1) 120
2) 33
3) 150
4) 200
It was 150 years after it put out an editorial criticizing and lambasting the address for political reasons that the editorial board of the Patriot-News, a Pennsylvanian newspaper, retracted the old editorial (when it was under the name Patriot & Union).
While there were likely some last minute additions penciled in, the majority of the speech had been written down before Lincoln left Washington to attend the event.
False, sorta, maybe, possibly
Whether or not there was clapping after Lincoln gave the speech is a much debated matter, though no one believes that it was a thunderous applause given the circumstances of officiating at a cemetery.
Sarah A. Cooke Myers, who attended the event when she was 19, said, "I was close to the President and heard all of the Address, but it seemed short. Then there was an impressive silence like our Menallen Friends Meeting. There was no applause when he stopped speaking."
Historian Shelby Foote says that there was a smattering of applause from the audience but that it was more awkward that praise-worthy.
Though there are reports that Lincoln felt that the speech didn't live up to what he wanted it to, these are generally considered as originating with unreliable sources, with author and historian Gary Wills saying that Lincoln "had done what he wanted to do."
