The Holy Quran; Exploring Scriptural Origin & Today's Authenticity;
I would like to introduce a (3)Three Part Series of a recent publication i have published on my blog Quantum Energy Process that contains over 80 original publication posts to date.
The Three part series published introduces and attempts to outline the origin of the holy quran and the holy scriptures validity according to the timeline of when the words where first spoken to our beloved prophet Muhammad and the final word of god descended on man kind. Exploring the historic events surrounding the scripture and the consideration of opposing events & people that may have influenced or had a potential impact on the accuracy of the delivery of today's word of god that is being presented and taught by the holy quran today in comparison with the original material that descended upon our prophet Muhammad at his time of communicating the last known word of god to man kind.
Have you ever wondered what could have been lost in translation or never bestowed upon man? As we attempt to trace the roots and origins of the holy quran and attempt to validate today's message to man kind and the probable difference upon its initial message and authenticity of its orgine in our historic records.
The first part of three part has been included here on islam.com if you wish to view the (2) Two remaining parts published view it on my blog Quantum Energy Process by clicking the following link of the blog homepage to view the links for Part 2 or Part 3.

Do You Have The Original Quran Part 1 of 3;
There exists within the Islamic community a major deception which has been circulating among st the public in regard to the Muslim Scripture, AL-Qur'an.
The deception relates to the supposed textual preservation of the Qur'anic text, and the notion that the Qur'an remains virtually intact, without additions or deletions, without any variant readings which would call into question the integrity of the Muslim text.
There are quite a lot of issues with the Present Islamic Holy Book. I plan to address it in a series of Blogs as a single Blog would not do justice to each point. Moreover, in case of a discussion, we need not digress.
Let's examine the REAL TRUTH of the transmission of the QUR'AN
The majority of our references will be taken directly from Islamic scholars and writings, in order to avoid the Muslim accusations of non-Islamic scholarly bias. Such accusations are often promoted in an attempt to sidetrack the obvious implications on Muslim claims. And even when we do quote non-Muslim authorities the citations from such authors either cite or include references to Islamic scholars and works.
1. Is your current QUR'AN the same as was revealed to Muhammad ?
The first issue that needs to be addressed is the claim that a complete Qur'anic Codex existed during the time of Muhammad. Answer is NO. This claim finds no support, since the first complete text was compiled during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr, after Muhammad's death:
Let us understand the story which initiated the compilation of Qur'an
Version of Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari
who was one of those who used to write the Divine Revelation: Abu Bakr sent for me after the (heavy) casualties among the warriors (of the battle) of Yamama (where a great number of Qurra' were killed). 'Umar was present with Abu Bakr who said, 'Umar has come to me and said, The people have suffered heavy casualties on the day of (the battle of) Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) at other battle-fields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an MAY BE LOST, unless you collect it. And I am of the opinion that you should collect the Qur'an." Abu Bakr added, "I said to 'Umar, 'How can I do something WHICH ALLAH'S APOSTLE HAS NOT DONE?''Umar said (to me), 'By Allah, it is (really) a good thing.' So 'Umar kept on pressing, trying to persuade me to accept his proposal, till Allah opened my bosom for it and I had the same opinion as 'Umar." (Zaid bin Thabit added:) Umar was sitting with him (Abu Bakr) and was not speaking me. "You are a wise young man and we do not suspect you (of telling lies or of forgetfulness): and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. Therefore, look for the Qur'an and collect it (in one manuscript)." By Allah, if he (Abu Bakr) had ordered me to shift one of the mountains (from its place) it would not have been harder for me than what he had ordered me concerning the collection of the Qur'an. I said to both of them, "How dare you do a thing WHICH THE PROPHET HAS NOT DONE?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is (really) a good thing. So I kept on arguing with him about it till Allah opened my bosom for that which He had opened the bosoms of Abu Bakr and Umar. So I started locating Qur'anic material and collecting it from parchments, scapula, leaf-stalks of date palms and from the memories of men (who knew it by heart). I found with Khuzaima two Verses of Surat-at-Tauba WHICH I HAD NOT FOUND WITH ANYONE ELSE, (and they were):–
"Verily there has come to you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty He (Muhammad) is ardently anxious over you (to be rightly guided)" (9.128)
The manuscript on which the Qur'an was collected, remained with Abu Bakr till Allah took him unto Him, and then with 'Umar till Allah took him unto Him, and finally it remained with Hafsa, Umar's daughter. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 201)
The number of memorizes that died was 450:
"During the battle of Yamama, 450 reciters of the Qur'an were killed." (The True Guidance - An Introduction To Qur'anic Studies, published by Light of Life, P.O. BOX 13, A-9503 Villach, Austria, part 4, p. 47– citing Ibn Kathir'sAl-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya, chapter on Battle of Yamama)
According to another source, when these men died they took with them portions of the Qur'an that they alone had memorized:
Zuhri reports, 'We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed but that those who had memorised them fell in the Yemama fighting. Those passages had not been written down, and following the deaths of those who knew them, were no longer known; nor had Abu Bakr, nor `Umar nor `Uthman as yet collected the texts of the Qur'an. (Burton: The published text ought here to be amended: for "fa lamma jama`a Abu Bakr", I propose to read: "wa lamma yajma` Abu Bakr", to follow: "lam yuktab".)Those lost passages were not to be found with anyone after the deaths of those who had memorised them. This, I understand, was one of the considerations which impelled them to pursue the Qur'an during the reign of Abu Bakr, committing it to sheets for fear that there should perish in further theatres of war men who bore much of the Qur'an which they would take to the grave with them on their fall, and which, with their passing, would not be found with any other. (John Burton, The Collection of the Qur'an, pp. 126-127, Abu Bakr `Abdullah b. abi Da'ud, Kitab al-Masahif', ed. A. Jeffery, Cairo, 1936/1355, p. 23; bold emphasis ours)
From these sources we realize that:
1. No text had been compiled during Muhammad's time. This is further solidified by the following traditions:
[Zaid b. Thabit said:] "The Prophet died and the Qur'an had not been assembled into a single place." (Ahmad b. Ali b. Muhammad al 'Asqalani, ibn Hajar, Fath al Bari [13 vol., Cairo 1939], vol. 9, p. 9; italic emphasis ours)
It is reported… from Ali who said: "May the mercy of Allah be upon Abu Bakr, the foremost of men to be rewarded with the collection of the manuscripts, for he was THE FIRST to collect (the text) between (two) covers". (John Gilchrist, Jam' Al-Qur'an – The Codification of the Qur'an Text A Comprehensive Study of the Original Collection of the Qur'an Text and the Early Surviving Qur'an Manuscripts, [MERCSA, P.O. Box 342 Mondeor, 2110 Republic of South Africa, 1989], Chapter 1. The Initial Collection of the Qur'an Text, p. 27 – citing Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif, p. 5; bold emphasis ours)
2. A great majority of the Qur'anic reciters had been killed at al-Yamama, forever taking with them portions of the Qur'an that only they knew.
3. Zaid Bin Thabit collected the Qur'an from palm leaves, stones and from the memories of men.
Masruq, Anas and Ibn Masud's Version of the Story
Zaid was not the only person who had compiled the Qur'an in book form. Others such as Ubayy Bin Kab and Abdallah ibn Masud also compiled Qur'ans of their very own. In fact, both Ubayy and Ibn Masud had been singled out by Muhammad himself as two of the top four Qur'anic reciters:
Masruq reported: We used to go to Abdullah Bin Amr and talk to him. Ibn Numair said: One day we made a mention of Abdullah Bin Masud, whereupon he said: you have made mention of a person whom I love more than anything else. I heard Allah's Messenger as saying: Learn Qur'an from four persons: Ibn Umm Abd (i.e., Abdullah Bin Masud – he started from him - then Muadh bin Jabal and Ubayy bin Kab, then Salim the ally of Ali Hudhaifa. (Sahih Muslim, Book 031, Number 6024)

HIGHLAND | Ian and Seth Hardy are fraternal twins, a fact many classmates and teachers were surprised to learn this school year.
With the boys outdoor track season a javelin throw away, there's a good chance you'll be hearing a lot about these multitalented juniors.
Both were regional qualifiers as sophomores, Ian in the pole vault (13 feet, 6 inches) and Seth the high jump (6-4). First-year coach Anthony Belli believes they've only scratched the surface regarding their potential.
"We do have a rivalry going at times," Ian said, "but we're still brothers and we try to push each other the best we can."
Highland track athletes are used to going unnoticed at school but that could be changing soon.
"I don't think they know how good our track team is going to be this year," Ian said. "We're going to be pretty strong all around with girls and guys.
"I don't think people pay attention — yet — to what we can do as a track team."
Ian Hardy also competes in the shot and discus, though he isn't built like the Michelin Man and doesn't look anything like a thrower.
"I still get the job done sometimes," he said. "Whatever it takes to get points."
Ian has cleared 14 feet in the vault and is shooting for the school record of 14-3 set in 1974.
"It's been hard because we really don't have a professional pole vault coach, so you kinda have to teach yourself," Ian said. "You have to just keep pushing and once you've got it, keep working from there."
Ian Hardy also plays football at the Northwest Crossroads Conference school, while basketball is Seth's game, which may explain his jumping ability.
He's cleared 6-6 at practice and may give the sprints a try this season, probably the 400.
"When you're at the meet, you must block everything else out," Seth said of the elements.
The brothers hope fan support in the community takes off during the postseason when it matters most.
"Track doesn't get as much attention here as football, basketball or maybe even swimming," Seth said. "But I feel the harder we work now, the more fans we'll have to cheer us on at sectionals, regionals and get us to state."
Belli marvels at the Hardys' work ethic and attention to detail, considering track is not their primary sport.
"Seth is just a raw talent. He can flat out jump, so we're working on trying to refine his skills," Belli said. "And with Ian, I'm doing as much as I can and trying to get him to go to camps.
"They're both close to state, and coming out of their sophomore year, that's huge."

Constipation Relief and Prevention
Squatty Potty toilet foot stool helps relieve and prevent constipation
Squatty Potty Helps Relieve and Prevent Constipation!
Squatty Potty - As Seen On:
Visit Our Press Room
What is constipation?
• a condition in which there is difficulty in emptying the bowels.
• a high level of constraint or restriction; a pronounced lack of ease.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines constipation as having fewer than three bowel movements per seven days. According to the NIH about four million Americans suffer from constipation.
Are you one of these people? Do you know someone who is?
Am I constipated?One of the biggest obstacles to your success may be not realizing you're constipated in the first place.
The bowel is the body's main elimination organ, yet amongst many Americans today, this central elimination system is compromised, as evidenced by high rates of constipation. The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 4 million Americans have constipation, defined as having a bowel movement less than three times per week. Yet, when you consider that most experts believe that it is normal for the body to eliminate after each meal (three times a day), the prevalence of constipation may be much higher.
Constipation Health AffectsChronic constipation can cause all sorts of health complications, from hemorrhoids to fecal impaction to dull skin. Many people also experience related symptoms such as headaches and back pain, which accompany the constipation.
None of this is pleasant, but from the standpoint of detoxification, constipation is one of the largest barriers to the efficient elimination of accumulated toxins. If stool sits inside the colon too long without being eliminated, the toxins contained within may be circulated back into the blood. Furthermore, stools that are held up from being eliminated may generate even more toxins. The bacteria implicated in constipation emit their own wastes, which must be eliminated. With chronic constipation, good bacteria may die off as harmful bacteria flourishes and their toxins may damage the colon, causing further stagnancy.*
Constipation is not only uncomfortable, but also has long term damaging effects on the colon. One of the processes that happens in the colon is the extraction of water. The colon is constantly extracting water from it's contents transforming the liquid wastes to solid. As a result, if elimination is not regular and complete, too much water is extracted causing the wastes to become too dry and then cemented to the walls of the colon.
*from "The Curative Kitchen" by Susan Smith Jones, PhD.

Squatting Toilet Posture Helps You Eliminate BetterDid you know that humans are designed to squat to eliminate?
Let's review the mechanics of going to the bathroom. People can control when they defecate, to some extent, by contracting or releasing the anal sphincter. But that muscle can't maintain continence on its own. The body also relies on a bend in the rectum (where feces is stored), and the anus (where feces comes out). When we're standing or sitting the bend, called the anorectal angle, is kinked which puts upward pressure on the rectum and keeps the feces inside. The sitting posture actually keeps us in 'continence mode'. This makes elimination difficult and incomplete, creating the need to STRAIN.
Optimal elimination is achieved in the natural squat position when the puborectalis muscle relaxes, allowing the anorectal angle to straighten, resulting in easier defecation.
The Squatty Potty toilet stool is recommended by doctors as the #1 way to help you go #2. It helps to reduce the risk of toxic build-up of fecal matter left in your colon; reduce straining and decrease the pressure in the anal and rectal veins; heal or prevent hemorrhoids; and make it easier for elimination and efficiency to empty the bowel.
Here's How Proper Toilet Posture Relieves Constipation
Squatting toilet posture helps relieve and prevent constipation in four ways:
1. In the squatting position, gravity does most of the work. The weight of the torso presses against the thighs and naturally compresses the colon. Gentle pressure from the diaphragm supplements the force of gravity.
2. Squatting relaxes the puborectalis muscle, allowing the anorectal angle to straighten and the bowel to empty completely.
3. Squatting lifts the sigmoid colon to unlock the "kink" at the entrance to the rectum. This kink also helps prevent incontinence, by taking some of the pressure off the puborectalis muscle.
4. The colon is equipped with an inlet valve (the ileocecal valve) and an outlet valve (the puborectalis muscle). Squatting simultaneously closes the inlet valve, to keep the small intestine clean, and opens the outlet valve, to allow wastes to pass freely. The sitting position defeats the purpose of both valves, making elimination difficult and incomplete, and soiling the small intestine.
No Drugs. No Doctors. No Worries.
We Say - "No More Constipation!"The NIH estimates Americans also spend about $75 million a year on laxatives to relieve constipation.
We think we should go back to our "squatting" roots and listen to our bodies.
Let's do what makes us feel good!
Instead of resorting to using over-the-counter laxatives that can become a habit and spending all that cash - how about creating a healthy digestive system?
Squatty Potty is the natural solution that puts you in the PROPER TOILET POSTURE for optimal elimination. And when you need a little extra help, try adding Good Move! Colon Care to your routine.

Squatty Potty Testimonials
"The squatty potty has changed my families life, especially my daughters. She is 10 and used to struggle with constipation so badly that she couldn't go for two or three days. Well the squatty potty has changed all that. She now (easily) goes on a daily basis and couldn't be happier. She absolutely loves the squatty potty! We ALL love it. It makes a huge difference in how much faster and easier bowel movements become. My daughter was afraid to go to camp this year because she didn't know how she was going to survive without her squatty potty. Thank you Edwards family, from the bottom of our hearts... and our bottoms. :)"
- Jodie S.
"I purchased the plastic squatty potty a month ago and ever since it has been a breeze to use the restroom. Before I would be constipated and would get hemorrhoids now and then. The first day of using squatty potty it worked instantly! I can't go without my squatty potty and it will be with me for LIFE!"
- Sherlly
"I love my squatty potty! I've had it now for 2 weeks and it has made a world of difference to my bathrooms habits. I had chronic constipation for years now and have tried numerous pills, powders and changing my diet but to no avail. Thank you for a wonderful product."

Four-fold bath screen ideal for use in small bathrooms as unique design folds flat against a wall
"i bought this screen a couple of years ago and installed it with no real problem but the rubber seals between the bottom of the screen and the bath top have now disintegrated / perished with the result that the floor has to be mopped dry after every shower. Shame that Wickes do not supply replacement seals. Otherwise - quite good value for money !"
"Needed a hinged bath screen for small bathroom being refitted. Was impressed by good reviews. No problems since it has been fitted. Looks really good and folds away neat and tidy in small space because of hinges. Mostly covers spray from shower as extends quite wide, occasional splashage if shower spray goes out of screen's range if you like a very roomy shower space, but nothing putting a bath mat down wouldn't cover and wiping down bath edge after. Good customer service from Wickes and no problems with any returns needed. Looks really nice with white contured bath also purchased from Wickes. Good value for money."
"i bought this after shopping around not expecting to much but it is great compact easy to clean and great value compared to others very similar"

'I let the song dictate what I left unsaid' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Reb MacRath
Posted by Roz Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on January 9, 2013
My guest this week was an award-winning horror genre writer, but turned indie to try to write the sort of novel he loved to read. For several years he published nothing while he struggled with his new challenge – a high-octane blend of suspense, swagger, humour and romance. Looking for a way to humanise an unlikable hero he found a guiding light in Rod Stewart's interpretations of American classics – a rocker thug who'd matured with surprising tenderness. He is Reb MacRath and he's on the Red Blog today with the Undercover Soundtrack for Southern Scotch.

Quiet Walk - Mar. 5
March 5
To Jesus, nothing is more important than doing His Father's will, even at the age of 12. When His parents miss Him on the trip home from the Passover, they return and find Him in the temple. "Did you not know that I had to be about My Father's business?" He asked. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me," He later said in John 4:34. Absolute single-mindedness!
We are to have the mind in us which was also in Christ Jesus. We are to have absolute single-mindedness about doing the will of the Father. Most of us don't feel very single-minded. We feel distracted and pulled in the direction of the world, the flesh, and the enticements of the devil.
But the goal remains unchanged: absolute single-mindedness in serving the Father. Make that your purpose and your prayer.
· Offer your praise in these words to the God who is worthy of unceasing devotion:
O Lord our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
(Psalms 8:1).
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works
(Psalms 9:1).
· As you seek to keep your life free from sin, pray this confession to the Lord:
"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord,
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool"
(Isaiah 1:18).
· Now pause to pray this affirmation to the Lord:
So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-8).
· As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
· greater love for others,
· the work of missions in the former Soviet Union,
· your activities for the day.
· Offer this closing prayer to the Lord:
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

Port Arthur police have made an arrest in an auto-pedestrian accident that killed a woman and injured a man who was with her. A police spokesperson says the arrest was made around 3 a.m. Saturday in Nederland.
Witnesses say just before 7 p.m. Friday a man and woman were passing out flyers at homes in the 3700 block of 99th Avenue in Port Arthur. As the two walked along the roadway they were both hit by a passing vehicle.
Investigators who took witness statements say the driver stopped briefly, then fled without attempting to render aid to the injured.
The man and woman were taken to different hospitals by ambulance. The woman, identified by police as Beverly Henderson, 61, of Port Arthur, died from her injuries. The man, whose name has not been released, was listed in stable condition at the hospital.
The Port Arthur Police Department Advanced Accident team was able to get information about the vehicle. They found it a short while later. The vehicle was seized by police as part of the investigation.
Evidence found by investigators led to Saturday's arrest.
As of 7 p.m. Sunday evening the name of the person arrested had not been released.

Milton Ridge was a beautiful and quaint location perfect for my husband and I's wedding day! We wanted a small, simple wedding with a touch of elegance to make our wedding an even more special event! Tracy is the most important link to ensure the day comes together perfectly. She was a wonderful planner throughout and made everything come together very well. The staff was so nice and accommodating and the food was delicious! Thanks to the Chef Wahid. Overall, the venue was just right for our guests, a lot of whom were coming from out of town, so having the ability to have our ceremony and reception at the same location was convenient. Milton Ridge has amazing grounds for taking beautiful pictures, especially in June.
Thank you Milton Ridge!!!

To say Milton Ridge was a "great" wedding venue for our daughter and our new son-in-law would be an understatement. "Perfect" would better capture how their wedding day went at Milton Ridge. The newlyweds and their 100 guests were all treated to a truly special event which was all orchestrated by the very talented and dedicated Milton Ridge coordinator, Tracy Lynn Brooks. Tracy is simply the best wedding coordinator on the entire planet. Period! From the first time we met with Tracy and every time afterwards, whether in person or through emails, she had only one goal: to make our daughter's wedding an exceptional day. And there were no unforeseen surprises.
The wedding ceremony itself was expertly performed by the very warm and loveable Fr. Rob who could not have been more perfect for the newlyweds. Everyone said what a great job he did.
The floral decorations of the chapel and reception hall exquisitely captured our daughter's wedding colors of hot pink and orange. Laura and Kerri of Event Plus Design gave the same attention to detail as Tracy. They did a great job working within our budget and making many excellent recommendations which only added to the splendor of the day.
The catering services also first-rate as the hors d'oeuvres and entrees were superb. Many of the guests commented on the excellent selection and quantity available. The entire staff was also professional in every sense of the word.
As for the venue itself - the Bridal Cottage, Historic Chapel, and Reception Hall – all exceeded our expectations, as the newlyweds were treated to a wonderful (and worry-free) day that they will cherish for a long time. Having the chapel and reception hall adjacent to each other on expertly managed floral grounds was nothing short of wonderful.

Our wedding at Milton Ridge was a dream come true. The Chapel and reception hall are very special, elegant and sophisticated spaces. Tracy helped us with every detail of the wedding including decor and menu - she is attentive, caring and truly made us feel as if our wedding was the most important thing. With her ideas and help the decor including candles created an absolutely stunning environment! The chapel and reception hall were romantic and beautiful - she has amazing taste and talent. The food was incredible! All of our guests commented on how fantastic the food was and how they loved Milton Ridge - the positive energy and beauty is hard to put into words - everyone had a wonderful time not just because it was a wedding - but because all of the details, the food and special ambiance made people very happy and joyful. Elegant and sophisticated were words our guests used to describe Milton Ridge.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this venue. The coordinator, Tracy, is an absolute doll to work with. She makes things easy and painfree. Whenever I had a question, I had a quick and thorough response. She was very accomodating and willing to work with whatever we wanted. The venue itself is beautiful - very neutral tasteful colors, buttercream walls, wood floors, very clean and crisp. It's basically a beautifully elegant blank canvas for whatever decorations you want - you dont have to worry about clashing like you do with a busy hotel carpet or drapes or wallpaper or the millions of other issues we ran across with other venues.
The catering is amazing, it was set up beautifully and everything was delicious, we received a lot of compliments on how good everything was. The staff treated us like superstars, catering to our every need, checking in on us regularly to make sure we were happy and not in want of anything.
It truly does work the way they say it does, all of the vendors work together to make the evening flow flawlessly. The only vendors we didn't go with were the photographer, officiant and ceremony musicians, so I can't speak to their quality, but I'd assume it's up to par with everything else.
You absolutely MUST use their hair/makeup stylist, florist, cake baker and DJ Fela - these vendors were so spectacular its beyond words, but I'll review them separately.
I would 100% recommend this vendor to any and everybody - it's truly top notch.

Beth the photographer couldn't have been more precise in getting the perfect pictures on our day. She was almost invisible I don't remember a lot of the beautiful shots that she got she was completely amazing!
DJ fela was an incredible entertainer! He played amazing music and kept th party going til the last second!
Pastor Lee was the most amazing fit to a beautiful and classy venue! The ceremony got many compliments from my family !

I was recently married, October 15, 2011 at Milton Ridge and couldn't be more happy with the venue and their team. The venue is spectacular and we received so many compliments on how beautiful the historic chapel was. The flowers, catering, and cake were equally amazing. Our photographer was booked through Milton Ridge, Amy Sievers and she did such an amazing job, I have used a lot of photographers in the past and she is by far the best. The venue also has a bridal cottage for brides to get ready. My wedding was at 5pm and my bridesmaids and I arrived at 11am and spent the day relaxing in the cottage and getting ready. It was a wonderful experience.

The pope's last tweet:
Cardinal Timothy Dolan described a melancholy mood and a tender moment with the "fragile'' pope. Watch here.
In his address to the College of Cardinals today, Pope Benedict said, 'I want to tell you that I will continue to be close to you in prayer, especially in the next few days, so that you may all be fully docile to the action of the Holy Spirit in the election of the new Pope. May the Lord show you what is willed by Him. And among you, among the College of Cardinals, there is also the future Pope, to whom, here to today, I already promise my unconditional reverence and obedience. For all this, with affection and gratitude, I cordially impart upon you my Apostolic Blessing.' Read and listen here.
OSV's Matthew Bunson was interviewed by the New York Daily News about Pope Benedict's legacy. You can read that article here.

Brown Greer Goes Waterfront on Rocketts LandingPosted: May 25, 2012 | Author: Lauren Noelle Gauthier | Filed under: City of Richmond, Henrico County, Multi-family Housing, New Development, New Urbanism, Office Buildings, Redevelopment, Restaurants, Retail | Tags: Brown Greer, Cedar Works Building, commercial real estate, downtown Richmond, legal, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond, Rockett's Landing, The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing, Virginia | Leave a comment »
Five years ago, Rocketts Landing – the rural neighborhood of Richmond bordering Downtown and Churchill along the James River – was desolate, barren and considered as just a watering hole by local fisherman. It was pretty much unheard of by the general public.
Two years ago, that all changed with The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing opening in 2010 and The Conch Republic soon after in 2011. The area was completely transformed into an attractive, scenic stretch of restaurants along the James and tourists, visitors, locals, couples, families and Richmond-ers flocked like seagulls.
Today, Rockett's Landing is making an even bigger splash. One of the Richmond area's biggest law firms, Brown Greer, is relocating its headquarters to the 38,000-square-foot Cedar Works Building along the riverfront on Dock Street.
Although the building still needs to be renovated, there are major factors in favor of moving to Rocketts, according to Principal Orran Brown: convenient parking, the location, and the long-term prospects of what Rocketts Landing could develop into.
Check out these recent articles in the Times-Dispatch and Richmond BizSense, which give a more detailed look into Brown Greer's latest urban development.
In the mean time, be sure to visit Rocket's Landing on Sunday, May 27th for Rocketts Red Glare. The event will feature the Kings of Swingband and a fireworks display to benefit the Neighborhood Resource Center of Greater Fulton.
"New" development north of Broad on Staples MillPosted: December 19, 2011 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Commercial Leasing, Henrico County, Multi-family Housing, New Development, Office Buildings, Redevelopment, Residential, Retail | Tags: commercial real estate, Henrico County, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond, Virginia | Leave a comment »
About once a month I get a question about the large, vacant property that borders Staples Mill Road that is just north of West Broad Street, right over the Henrico Count line. My answer is always that it was an old, rundown neighborhood that was purchased and cleared with the intention of rebuilding, and that the developer is the same group that is doing the project at Monument Avenue and Willow Lawn Drive — Gumenick Properties. As to why it hasn't been started, well just look around at new building all around the country. The developer was obviously waiting until the economy turns around.
But, I always have to give that answer with the caveat that the last official word I had heard about it was a few years ago. I couldn't even be sure that the same plans were in place. Thankfully I can point to this article on Richmond.com that gives us the lowdown on the current situation — which is pretty much as described as above. It sounds as though things are just on hold, but the same big plans are still on the books. In fact, this project is expected to take 10 years even once they finally get underway.
You need to go read the article to see all of the reported details, but I thought I would share a couple of details of the plans here:
What: Staples Mill Centre, proposed to include 1,096 apartments, 571 condominiums, 391 townhouses, 32 single-family homes, 60,000 square feet of offices, and 100,000 square feet of stores.
Where: About 80 acres between Staples Mill Road, Libbie Avenue and Bethlehem Road, near Interstate 64.

Understanding Landlord Insurance
By: Dona DeZube
Published: September 1, 2010
Turning your home into a rental or buying an investment property? Expect to pay up to 20% more for the right insurance policy to protect your property.
Rental properties require their own type of coverage–landlord insurance, which is different than the homeowners policy you buy when you live in a house yourself. Landlord insurance protects you against losses from fire, lighting, falling trees, wind and hail, water damage, and injury to your tenants and their guests.
But it doesn't cover the renters' household goods. So encourage tenants to buy a renters policy to cover their stuff. You can even include a clause in your lease saying they have to buy renters insurance, so everyone is clear about what's insured and what's not.
Landlord insurance is expensive
You'll pay 15% to 20% more for a landlord insurance policy than you will for a homeowners policy on the same house–and even more if you offer short-term rentals. Start your policy shopping by calling the company that sold you your homeowners insurance, then check with an independent insurance agent selling commercial and business policies.
Ask how you can get discounts if you have fire prevention devices, burglar alarms, or multiple properties.
What a landlord insurance policy probably will cover:
- Lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot and civil commotion, smoke, falling objects, snow, ice, sleet, vandalism, sonic boom, sprinkler leakage, frozen pipes, water damage, burglary, volcanoes, and sinkholes.
- Things that belong to you that stay at the property, like appliances, furniture, or lawn care equipment. Keep an inventory of what's on site.
- Outbuildings, like sheds or garages, although this coverage will have its own limit (probably 10% of the overall insurance policy amount).
- Costs to defend yourself against lawsuits filed by tenants or guests, as well as the costs awarded if you lose the case. Some policies cover medical bills for injuries; some don't.
- Lost rental income if the property is damaged and you can't rent it.
What a landlord insurance policy probably won't cover:
- The tenants' belongings.
- Your rental property if it's vacant for more than 30 days. Seek an exemption in advance from your landlord insurance company as soon as you know the property is going to be vacant.
- War and nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attacks.
Optional coverage you might want to buy:
- Flood
- Earthquake
- Vandalism (if the policy you buy excludes it)
- Pool and tennis court insurance
- Liability for personal injury, wrongful eviction, wrongful entry, libel, and slander
Don't forget liability coverage
To cover yourself in case you lose a big court case filed by an injured tenant, buy anumbrella insurance policy that gives you liability protection for $1 million to $5 million or more if you have a lot of assets to protect.
Don't file a claim unless you absolutely have to
There's a limit to how many claims you can file before insurance companies start charging you more or canceling your policies. Claims can quickly add up as you buy more rental properties.
One time you always want to file a claim is when someone says they've been injured on your property. One claim you'll want to avoid filing: water damage for less than $10,000 because worries about mold growing in water-damaged properties will lead some insurers to immediately cancel your insurance policy.

Small rental property owners breathe a sigh of reliefPosted: April 13, 2011 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Commercial Leasing, Government Institutions, Investing, Multi-family Housing, National News, Office Buildings, Residential, Retail | Tags: Bandazian & Holden, business environment, commercial real estate, government, legal, property management, real estate development | Leave a comment »
There is always a lot of new legislation passed every year that sounds like a good idea at the time and generally goes unnoticed, and every once in a while the consequences of that legislation become horrifyingly apparent afterwards.
This past year, the legislation that was causing so much heartburn for small property owners was a new IRS requirement that anyone with rental property file a 1099 for any repairs that add up to $600+ over the course of the year. (see my post about it here, from December 2010)
Good news — the provision was repealed before it could take effect!! (here is the actual legislation that was passed to repeal the IRS provision, in case you would like to read it)
Hats off to the Realtor community for standing against this for the good of the mom-and-pop investors, who are the ones would be most affected by those proposed requirements — and for Realtor Magazine's blog for bringing the repeal to my attention. From their description of how everything unfolded, it seems as though everyone understood that this was good to do:
When the provision was included in the small business bill, REALTORS® were among the first and firmest opponents of it, helping to ensure that Congress understood the provision was an example of over-reach that was never intended to burden mom and pop property owners. Members of Congress and President Obama got the message and, in a rare example of agreement between not only Republicans, Democrats, and independents, but also between House and Senate chambers and between the legislative and executive branches, lawmakers agreed the provision needed to come out.
Nice to know that we don't have this provision coming up to haunt us over the next few years, isn't it?
How to make zoning easier to understandPosted: February 7, 2011 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Government Institutions, Legal, Redevelopment | Tags: Bandazian & Holden, business environment, business owners, commercial real estate, downtown Richmond, government, legal, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond, Virginia, zoning | Leave a comment »
Government regulations are typically so complicated that not only can the lay-person not understand what they mean, but they are written in such a way that even people that think they know what is meant are left arguing completely different interpretations. Zoning regulations are no exception.
In fact, in NYC the zoning regulations are so convoluted that "In a recent case, a judge said the word "development," which appears at least 2,500 times in the [zoning] resolution, did not mean what the city said." (source: New York Times article — we'll see more about that article in just a minute)
The Planning Commissioner for NYC, Amanda Burden, is attempting to make the zoning regulations a little more accessible to the general public by issuing a new city handbook with plain explanations and cartoon drawings that illustrate what particular zoning designations look like and what they mean. Check out the coverage in the New York Times about what she has been doing to bridge that gap.
While this may not be the right approach for every locality, the idea is one that every local government should take to heart: Start building tools that puts control of the government back into the hands of the people. Sure, we elect officials to represent us and we should not be ruled by mob mentality (see: California), but the people also need to be able to understand what is being done — especially when we are expected to interpret these rules and abide by them.
I have seen far too many business and property owners try to follow the rules that have been laid out, only to find a health inspector or building inspector come in with a totally different understanding and cost the owner thousands of dollars in hard cost and lost business because the rules were not clear enough.
What do you think, Richmond? Have you had any issues with the local zoning regulations (city or county)? What would you suggest could be done to make the rules more clear?
Redevelopment plans for Carytown get nod from Museum DistrictPosted: February 6, 2011 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: City of Richmond, Commercial Leasing, Government Institutions, Investing, New Urbanism, Redevelopment, Retail, Shopping Centers, Transportation | Tags: business environment, business owners, commercial real estate, downtown Richmond, government, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond, Virginia, walkability | 2 Comments »
The redevelopment of the old Verizon building at 10 N. Nansemond Street has been hotly debated and contested. (see: the official site for the Carytown Place; Don't Big Box Carytown's website; & this post and the accompanying comment thread on Caramelized Opinions for a good summary & feel of the debate)
The Museum District Association had originally ruled to oppose the redevelopment based on the original plans, but Friday they sent out a press release announcing the reversal of that position. The gist of the situation can be summed up from this one paragraph in the press release:
The Board voted 13-1 in November to oppose the original SUP and subsequently provided the applicant with detailed requests for further changes to make it more amenable to the neighborhood. The applicant responded by altering the SUP to remove vehicular ingress/egress on Nansemond Street as well as reduce the number of available uses of the property to 10 uses. The applicant also agreed to limit the usable floor space of any one tenant to no more than 25,000 square feet, ensuring there would be multiple tenants in the building and ruling out a single, larger "big box" tenant.
The whole press release can be read here on the MDA's website (right now it's at the top, but it will shift down the page as new releases are issued).
What do you think? Are you satisfied with the MDA's ruling, or are the changes in the plan not enough for you? In that case, what changes would be enough to get your support for the development?
Retail Real Estate Market: 2010 vs. 2011Posted: January 10, 2011 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Retail, Shopping Centers | Tags: business environment, commercial real estate, real estate development, retail business, retail real estate | Leave a comment »
Retail real estate has gone through a lot over the past year and will continue to evolve over the upcoming year. I can say from anecdotal experience in our office and from what I've heard from other colleagues in the business that the last half of 2010 was very busy, with the level of activity only set to increase going forward.
Retail Traffic is a great resource for information on the retail real estate market and I always enjoy seeing a new issue come out. If you don't want to miss anything, I would suggest you watch it closely too. Of course, if I see anything particularly interesting, I will be sure to pass it along here. For example…..
Their "Retail Real Estate's 2010 in Review" is a comprehensive review of the biggest stories in retail real estate over the course of the past year.
And even more important, "What Will 2011 Bring?" (which links to a few other very informative pieces)
Breakin' the law! Or not… (new real estate laws)Posted: July 1, 2010 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Government Institutions, Legal | Tags: legal, property management, real estate development, Virginia | 1 Comment »
July 1st each year is when most of the new legislation that was passed by the State of Virginia takes effect. This year (as every year), there are a number of changes that will directly impact the real estate business. — Side note: Thank you to the Virginia Association of Realtors, RPAC, and the local associations for all of their hard work in getting these laws proposed and lobbying to get them passed!
VARbuzz has a great summary, so be sure to go there for the full list.
Here, I want to highlight a few of the new laws/updates that I found particularly interesting and/or encouraging:
* Brokers who do the right thing won't be punished (amnesty for honesty). A real estate broker who discovers, either through a self-audit or through a third party retained by the broker, that the firm or a member of the firm has violated a law or regulation will no longer be penalized if the broker satisfies certain requirements:The broker must notify VREB within 30 days of the discovery of any noncompliance, and he must submit a written plan explaining how the issue will be fixed. This may include entry into a voluntary compliance program. Any voluntary compliance or other remediation must be completed not more than 90 days after the date the plan is submitted to the VREB, and must be certified by the broker or a third party in order to create immunity from enforcement. *Note that bill does not protect the broker if the noncompliance was intentional or the result of gross negligence.*
* Landlord and tenant laws changed. A number of changes were made to landlord and tenant laws this year. Some key revisions:For leases governed by the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act:
* Landlords are now allowed to provide information about tenants to a commissioner of the revenue and, in the case of a military tenant, to his commanding officer.
* A landlord may withhold a reasonable portion of the security deposit to satisfy unpaid water and sewer bills.
* Interest rates on security deposits are updated for 2010.
* Utility charges are treated as rent.
* The definitions of "commencement date" and "effective date" of leases are added to the Act.
* Several other things were clarified as to landlord-tenant law generally:
o the bifurcated rent and possession practice in some courts
o what property managers and Realtors® can do in court without a lawyer
o that interest runs on all judgment amounts
* Vested rights are better protected. If a local government issues a permit (other than a building permit) for a property improvement, it can't change its mind and later declare those improvements to be illegal (although it can find them to be nonconforming).The law also clarifies that a property owner may replace an on-site sewage system for an existing building in the same general location, even if a new sewage system would no longer be permitted in that location. However, if access to a sanitary sewer system is available the property owner must connect to it.
*If a rental property occupied by a tenant is foreclosed upon, the landlord must transfer any security deposit to the new owner of the property, and the new owner, on termination of the lease, must return any security deposit and any interest owed to the tenant in accordance with the provisions of the lease. Interpleader actions limited to disposition of an earnest money deposit may be brought in district court even in cases where the amount of the deposit exceeds the ordinary jurisdictional limits of district court cases.
Does downtown Richmond have a parking problem?Posted: June 28, 2010 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: New Urbanism, Redevelopment, Transportation | Tags: commercial real estate, downtown Richmond, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond | 2 Comments »
Given the info in this post at The Urbanophile, I sure hope we do!
The author is specifically talking about Buffalo, New York, but this is an issue that most cities of any substantial size have to wrestle with all of the time. I can't count all of the times I've heard people complain about parking in downtown Richmond — and I know that I have at certain times/events.
Here's an excerpt that I felt summed up the key point of the post to me:
Downtown can never compete with suburban office parks on the basis of convenient and affordable parking. To compete successfully on that basis would mean the destruction of all of downtown's remaining (and emerging) value.
By definition, downtown can never out-compete the suburbs on suburban, automobile-based terms. By necessity, parking takes up a tremendous amount of land, creating lots of dead, open space, which the suburbs have plenty of. In fact, that's the suburbs' main asset: lots of open space. A city's main amenity is not open land, but density, walkability, a diverse mix of uses, and the quality of the streets and other public spaces. These are the areas in which the suburbs cannot out-compete downtown.
That doesn't mean that we should ignore parking entirely. Complaints about parking are a symptom, not the actual problem.
Parking will always be an issue if everyone is coming from out of town to visit the downtown. More importantly, we should focus on bringing more businesses and residents downtown — increasing the walkability and decreasing reliance on cars will make parking less of a problem.
But more to the point of the post, downtown isn't supposed to be a wonderland of surface parking lots. It's supposed to be a dense area with lots of people and businesses, and events that bring more people from all over. If the downtown is a vibrant place, then people will deal with the parking issues (they will still complain, but they will still come). If you want lots of open parking, go to the suburbs — that's what they're good at.
There a good discussion in their comment section, so be sure to check that out while you're reading through the original post.

UPDATE: Cineplex Slated for BoulevardPosted: November 30, 2006 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Redevelopment, Restaurants, Retail | Tags: Bowtie Partners, cineplex, commercial real estate, downtown Richmond, new movie theater, real estate development, Redevelopment, Richmond, Virginia | Leave a comment »
This is a call-back to a posting several months ago (5/18/06, to be exact): New Cineplex Slated for the Boulevard? — see the post to get up-to-speed
This has been long in the works, obviously, and is still in the early stages. As Style Weekly pointed out in this week's edition ("Merger Won't Slow Boulevard Complex"), the architectural plans are still being drawn up.
But there is no rush for Bow Tie Partners (the developers), as Richmond Steel isn't planned to relocate for another 8 months.
Some interesting facts from the article:
- the new cineplex will be called Movieland
- the redevelopment project is being called Boulevard Square
- there will be 13,000+ sq ft of retail and restaurants in the development
- the area where Bowtie originally planned for a cineplex is called Jefferson Square (between Main, Cary, 3rd & 4th Streets)

Suicide #00 Reviews
"Hello. I need to ask to some questions now." He man said, he looked frustrated and scared at the same time. I didn't say anything I just nodded, the sensation in my throat made it feel like I was ...
I knew today was the last day I was going to live. Some how it was comforting to know, that i didn't have to face another day in this mediocre world. I was sick of tasting, smelling. Breathing. It shouldn't have gotten this far, everything was too much I hated everything, I hated humans and this ordinary life style. It only just hit me that while this was going through my mind I was in science erratically threatening students with the burning tongs I was using. Security was already sent up and the tongs were getting cold, so I decides to do the one thing in my life that would change it forever. I looked at each table examining each bottle of poisonous liquid on the tables, fortunately that day I had produced quite a powerful chemical that had exploded in my partners face that afternoon. That would go down nicely. I picked it up and through it down with one gulp. And that was the end of that.
New years day 2009.
It felt as if I haven't been awake in years. My body was burning, and it felt like something had exploded inside of me. As I sat up everything was blurry, and I felt light headed. As I looked around i realized I was in no hospital, just a white room with a large mirror in front of me, and the sound of machinery and bleeping hurt my head. I went to raise my hand but it was pinned down by a metal bar around my wrist. Then the white door opened, and a person in a white coat came through and stood ad least 2 meters away from me.
"Hello. I need to ask to some questions now." He man said, he looked frustrated and scared at the same time. I didn't say anything I just nodded, the sensation in my throat made it feel like I was going to croak rather talk. "Right." He paused patiently and sighed. "Who are you?" He waited, looking cautiously at me clutching he's clipboard.
"Jekyll. Jekyll is my name." My voice scraped along my windpipe as I answered, it hurt tremendously.
"Jekyll. Right. Do you recall or are aware of any events that have happened since the 24th December 2008?" He looked more serious this time.
"No. I'm afraid not. Besides science and my poor attempt of suicide, no nothing at all."
