Well every Ramadan is special to me, and I think it is the same with all the Muslims, you kind of wish it lasts the whole year! This is my fifth Ramadan, since I've converted to Islam 4 years ago!

Salih, I think I found the reciter on:
http://alafasy.tripod.com/ Scroll down and listen to the 2nd set of recitations, sounds similar.. He does have a beautiful voice MashaAllah
My personal Favorite is Saad Al-ghamdi: http://quran.mangga.com/quran_mp3_ghamdi_1.html

Srinagar, Kashmir...
. . . . . . .Beating a drum and shouting Waqt-e-Sahar, Muhammad Ayub of Kupwara district marches through dark alleys in a locality near the Dal Lake here to wake up the Muslims for the Sahr.
Like Ayub, 55, hundreds of men who are popularly known as Sahar Khans belonging mostly from rural areas migrate to Srinagar and other districts during the holy month of Ramadhan to earn their livelihood.
“I’ve been in the profession for eight years. I feel proud that I have never been late. More than earning money, I get a feeling of contentment in undertaking the job. This is my way of serving Islam,” Ayub said, pointing towards sky.
The first thing Ayub says he did on reaching Srinagar before Ramadhan was to meet the troopers of a local CRPF camp. “I told them that I will have to move on the road during night. They checked my credentials and permitted me with some instructions like moving with a torch and coughing near their bunkers,” he said.
He said when he worked as a Sahar Khans in Qamarwari some years ago, he was nearly killed by troops. “I can’t forget that night when troops asked me to raise my hands and threatened to kill me. The troops told me ‘you are a sympathizer of militants and inform them about our presence by shouting and beating drums.’ Timely intervention of their senior officer saved me,” he said.
Ayub said he was only scared of dogs. “When they rush towards me, I hit the drum hard forcing them to flee,” he said with a smile on his dusky face.
Sahar Khawans usually collect cash or kind from the Muslims at the end of Ramadnan. “Some people give us money and rice and clothes. And on Eid, we also receive cash. The money is enough to give us bread and butter for 2-3 months, and for rest of the year were work as labourers. The earning during Ramadan enables us to undertake repairs of our hutments and support education of our children,” Ayub said.
Other Sahar Khans are not however as contented as Ayub. Abdul Ghani, 75, who till few years ago worked as a Sahar Khaan said the job has lost its glory.
“It was our family tradition to work as Sahar Khan. I gave up the job when I felt that people don’t respect us anymore. Our family tradition will die down with me as my only son has joined government service,” he said.
Recounting his childhood memories, noted poet Zarief Ahmad Zarief said besides waking up people, Sahar Khawans used to chant Qur’anic verses, Na’ats, and tell people about the benefits of Ramadhan.
“When I was a child, I remember Sahar Khans used to wear traditional Kashmiri dress and blow a pipe made up of sheep horn. It was called Nallah Hyder and its sound was very strong. Those days the Sahar Khans were in demand during Ramadan as few people had watches and alarm clocks. Now with the arrival of sophisticated clocks, they are battling for survival,” Zarief said...

Well I converted in 2003, in July, so I fasted Ramadan in 2003,2004,2005,2006 and this year 2007 is my fifth.
@rule_breaker
I like Saad Al-ghamdi too, he has a wonderfull voice, in fact I have the whole Quran in MP3 format, recited by him.
Thank you for finding, Mishari, my friend also found him, but we weren't sure it was him, and In never wanted to search, cause I wasn't sure what is his name.

You see I didn't think about that, you're right there are so many sick people out there. I mean that's so horrible, I would really send all of them to jail!
I posted that photo, because it's so nice to see little girl reading Quran, MashAllah!
@tranced
I'm doing great, Elhamdulillah (thanks to Allah almighty), I can really fell Ramadan in the air, it's everywhere, people are different, calmer... I'm just enjoying it, as PeterKay, said who knows if I'm going to see another Ramadan.
@PeterKay
I've listened to Qari Ziyaad Patel from South Africa, and his Qiraat, really is brilliant. His Qiraats are so melodic, but he the words are so clear pronounced. MashAllah.
I have 4 or 5 Qurans in MP3 format, but my favorite is this one, I'm not sure who is he, my friend says that it is Mishari bin Rashid, but I don't know, unfortunately I only have 14 surahs recited by him. Tell me what you think.

@PeterKay
Thank you brother, I feel so happy I converted, thanks to Allah almighty. I converted 4 years ago when I was 18. My mum is a Muslim, my father is an orthodox, but they didn't raise me to be religious, because they aren't, so when I was 18 I descovered the truth, and I'm so thankfull to Allah almighty for opening my eyes.
Do you like Mishari bin Rashid, he is my favourite?

Miss.. Yo can find hundreds of recipes over the internet but the easiest way would be going to an Asian grocery store and picking up a Masala (spice) packet.
There are different ones for each type of curry.. You'll find Chicken/lamb Qorma, Chicken/Lamb Karahi.. etc It should look something like this: http://www.halalco.com/gif/chicken_handi.jpg
These packets contain most of the ingredients you would need and they also come with a brief, which is all you'll need.. It's not too difficult!
