The story of the 2018 Petaluma Transhumance told by one of the humans.
There are many documentaries about the dismal version of our agricultural state: driven by industrial progress and capitalism, a forced transformation into a state of becoming fossil fueled and high yielding; packed into feed lots and factory farms; oppressed by regulation; bled by a system unwilling to practice reciprocity.
What is the worth of the food we partake in, if it is paired with a story of oppression? fear? loss? Many, while fed, have entered a state of starvation. So last Saturday, an effort was made to feed our community, not just calories, but experience. The very experience we crave. An experience that gave us hope, hope for food to feed more than just our bodies.
The demand to evolve away from over mechanized and heavily industrialized agriculture is increasing for many reasons, but the subtle logic that stands out to me is our desire for CULTURAL SATISFACTION. The presence of this longing [for a food culture] suggests we do not need to be at war within our industry, maybe just creatively provide alternatives; Simpler ways of being.
There have always been individuals working tirelessly to preserve the cultures being trampled by this "progress". Many of those individuals have been rolled over by our speed wagon economy, some killed, some stolen from, some just left feeling as though they have lost the battle. However, on Saturday, June 9th, in the city of Petaluma, another effort was made to preserve and create culture in our local food system… and lose, we did not.
One of the many effective practices lost in this push to become more efficient, is the art and action of Transhumance. From the latin origins, Trans- meaning "across" and humus meaning "ground". Andre Voisin, Author of the book "Grass Productivity", describes the phenomenon and its applications quite beautifully:
"The absolute necessity of adhering to these rest periods during seasons of drought leads to the practice of a special rotation, known as Transhumance, in spite of the considerable time and long journey it involves."
Chances are if you ask any one of us why we did it, you'll get a slightly different answer, and each one would be right. The necessity of this animal movement across the landscape has come to feel impossible with fragmentation and privatization. Expecting this to change, is irrational without increasing awareness of the challenge. Instilling that practice back into our society, is unreasonable without support. And enjoying the abundance this exercise would create, requires a culture be developed alongside it.
We herded the sheep through downtown, having prepared a list of reasons we needed to do so, and gracefully jumped through every hoop necessary to make it acceptable to the city government. At the other end of our journey, we knew there was no pot of gold, yet we found it was a place, not one bit short on wealth.
Community members lined the neighborhood streets; children, dogs, coffee cups, and the occasional cowboy costume. The support was surprising and fed the soul as only the richest of experiences do. We wore matching shirts, "Keep the Culture in Agriculture" not as a uniform that removed our individualism, but as a uniting characteristic that made each one of us stronger. We wore beautifully hand died bandannas, made especially for our cause; it felt as though we each carried a flag through our town, for our cultures we were desperate to preserve.
We flocked past homes and businesses. We crossed busy main streets and bridges. Moments before we arrived to our destination all the sheep let out a buck as though to remind us this was a moment of joy and triumph.
We arrived and the sheep grazed through the evening. So we did the same.
We celebrated them, their offerings, their impact. We feasted. We laughed. We exchanged valuable knowledge. And of course, as most healthy cultures do, we danced.
We are young, and everyday we are making a stand for who we want to be; what we want our communities to be made up of; what we want to teach our children about us.
We are successfully defying the system that demands we take but not give. We are becoming a culture that respects life, honors death, embraces diversity, celebrates beauty and chuckles at the word impossible.

Thank you to the community members who came out and showed your support of good agriculture and got involved. Thank you to all the people who brought pieces of yourselves to the market place, the stage, the dinner table. Thank you to my dearest friends, each with their own vision of what this could be, for pushing through the busy weeks to get a us to beautiful moment we will remember forever.
Those who could not attend, I hope to see you at the 2019 Transhumance Festival!

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A local researcher is working on a non-invasive way to identify malignant breast tumors.
Doctors routinely rely on biopsies to identify which tumors in the breast are malignant and which are benign.
Dr. Mathew Thakur, a scientist in the Department of Radiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, says the procedures are risky to the patient, expensive and determine that most tumors are not cancerous. He's testing a procedure that uses a PET scan to light up radioactive material injected into the body.
"That probe will identify only malignant legions, thereby minimizing the potential number of biopsies, reducing trauma to the patients and reducing health care costs," Thakur explains.
He says the research is in the early stages, but appears to be quite promising.

When I first talk to clients, I hear this all the time: "I feel overwhelmed." Maybe not in those exact words; maybe it's in the tone of voice, or tired eyes, or wilted posture. These business owners are so caught up in the day-to-day running of their business that they feel stuck, out of control, and overwhelmed.
It's not uncommon. It's natural. And a sign of a growing business.
Sometimes the overwhelm comes from not knowing how to get a growing team on the same page. Sometimes it's an issue with process, or lack of process.
Whatever the problem is, chances are I've seen it – and solved it – before.
Together with my team of writers, web developers and analysts, Adams Consultants creates cash from chaos(TM).
My journey began down under, in Australia, managing the architectural firm working on the Sydney Opera House. I took that experience with me back to the United States and applied it to managing law and accounting firms. Under my careful management, many of those firms grew significantly.
During the same period I started my own business, a graphics database company. This business grew quickly over three years, giving me a taste of what it's like to manage a rapid growth company.
Three years later, we sold that business and started a new one. This time a custom software company where I was the systems analyst. It was my job to go into a business, figure out what they were trying to accomplish, and how to go about doing so.
When the Internet took off, I knew I needed to understand how it worked and how to work within it. To gain that knowledge, I dug right in with my first Internet company, an e-commerce website for high-end, gourmet chocolate. Once again, that business grew rapidly and I sold it three years later.
I've spent my career starting, building, and managing businesses from a broad spectrum of industries, in a steady progression of responsibility and experience. I've learned so much over the past 30 years and I want to take that knowledge and help other business owners.
I can help you get unstuck, take back control, and get rid of that terrible feeling of overwhelm.
Whatever your industry might be, you are the expert in your subject matter and I am an expert in process and marketing. Regardless of your specific type of business, the framework upon which successful businesses are built doesn't change.
That is my area of expertise. That is how I know I can help you. All of my consulting, all of my knowledge, comes from first-hand experience and is based in the reality of results.
If you're not getting the results you want, there's a reason. I can help you figure it out.
For over 30 years I've helped businesses just like yours untangle the reasons why they're stuck and then move forward with clear direction and processes.
So what are you waiting for? Let's talk. How can I help make your life better?

Baan Sawan
I'm a townie; I was born here. Military is compulsory in Thailand, and my father took his air force experience and transferred that so he would be in the army over here. My parents met in D.C., and the military led us to Fort Jackson in Columbia.
At Baan Sawan, my title – on the books – is general manager, but it's a family restaurant. Being the younger of the two brothers, I get to do whatever needs to get done. General manager, beverage director, occasional plumber. Baan Sawan is a restaurant specializing in unique Thai food as well as carefully chosen wine and beers, tucked away in a bungalow on Devine Street just across from the police station.
The level of camaraderie in Five Points is timeless. You look at how it's changed, how it hasn't changed – it's still tight knit and very village-like.
As a family, we decided to go into the restaurant business in 1995, as my father had wanted a restaurant for a number of years. We all sort of buckled down and agreed to try it out and see where it goes. After opening Pattaya on Assembly Street in 1995, we felt as though we had a better idea of what we wanted to do.
We opened up Baan Sawan here in 1999. It's a smaller venue, and we pared down the kitchen to just my parents and my brother. We had much greater control, and as a result, we think much better quality over here, and we're very proud of that.
Five Points Memories
Growing up in Forest Acres, my father used to take me to Groucho's and Andy's Deli all the time. There was a great little art shop down in Five Points, and when I was 16 or 17, I was working with sculpture, and they gave me a little place to sell my sculptures. That was, I think, my first exposure to the community in Five Points, and how it encourages people.Learn More
The level of camaraderie in Five Points is timeless. You look at how it's changed, how it hasn't changed – it's still tight knit and very village-like in that regard. Suzi Sheffield opened El Burrito a year after we first opened up. She is incredibly charming, so sweet, so generous and so enthusiastic about community, and about what we do and what she does. That certainly was one of the ways we began to knit together the fabric that is Five Points.
Bar None has become almost a sister location to us. We've become very friendly with a lot of people who work over there, like Marty, the owner. It's gotten to a point where people call them Barn One and call us Barn Two. For a number of years, it's been like a second office. It's a comfortable place.Learn More
St. Pat's Race
The most time I've spent in Five Points over the last few years is at the St. Pat's race. I try to run it every year. That, to me, gives a good sense of Five Points -- people who are there before the festival begins, and to see the look of them steeling themselves up; people going into battle. We run the race, hang out here to wait for Bar None to open, and then go there and have a few beers.Learn More
The Ideal Day
I'm highly localized in where I go. My ideal day in Five Points would certainly start with a little lunch at El Burrito – have a Negra Modelo there and wander about; hit Gerald's Shoes – its very centrally located and have a good selection of shoes in there; they're solid cobblers.
Time permitting, there would be Papa Jazz – I'd spend a little while there. It's a point of contention with my girlfriend that my musical tastes span so widely I could spend all day there.
Then I'd head to Bar None for a drink with friends and their smoked wings (served every other Tuesday). Their wings are extraordinary; out of this world.Learn More

LONDON — Cuba's health ministry said Friday it is sending more than 160 health workers to help stop the raging Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, providing a much-needed injection of medical expertise in a country where health workers are in short supply.
World Health Organization chief Dr. Margaret Chan said the agency was extremely grateful for the help.
"If we are going to go to war with Ebola, we need the resources to fight," she said. "This will make a significant difference in Sierra Leone."
While millions of dollars have already been pledged and countries including Britain and the U.S. have volunteered to build treatment centers, Chan said "human resources are most important," noting a crucial need for experienced doctors and nurses across the region.
"There is not a single bed available for an Ebola patient in the entire country of Liberia," she said, adding that a further 1,500 health workers are desperately needed in West Africa.
Dr. Roberto Morales Ojeda, Cuba's health minister, called on other countries to help.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the Cuban announcement and said the African Union "has begun to mobilize medical personnel for the response, and the Government of Ghana has agreed to use Accra as a key hub for flights into and out of Monrovia," U.N spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Friday.
He said the secretary-general is also grateful for U.S. support, including the U.S. Agency for International Development's plans to make an additional $75 million available.
"More than 100 experts, most of them from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are deployed to the region in an effort to prevent, detect and halt the virus's spread," Dujarric said.
Ebola is believed to have killed more than 2,200 people in West Africa so far, the biggest-ever outbreak of the lethal virus. So far, the death rate is about 50 percent. Doctors and nurses are at high risk of catching Ebola, spread via the exchange of bodily fluids.
Cuba will be sending experienced doctors, nurses and other scientists to Sierra Leone in early October. They will stay for six months.
Since the 1959 Cuban revolution, the country has dispatched thousands of doctors worldwide to work on issues ranging from maternal health to cataracts.
Cuba's program has been praised for improving health care in countries short on doctors, but also criticized for underpaying the physicians by funneling too much of the compensation for the program to Cuban state coffers.
Associated Press Writers Michael Weissenstein in Havana and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

Hug a Tree
The 'high'light of my long weekend was a day spent up in the trees at one of the arbraska adventure parks. We went to the one in Rigaud about 45 minutes from Montreal. For those who don't know about these parks, they're basically forests rigged with obstacle courses suspended up to 50 feet off the ground. After a 10 minute initiation on how to use your carabiners and pulley, you're ready to go swinging through the forest. Courses vary in difficulty and get progressively higher. For those who chicken out, there are escape ladders on some platforms. I had a great time flying over the tops of trees on the zip lines and it's an amazing rush once you get over that moment of stepping off the platform. It's a great way to connect with nature while testing your limits and I definitely hugged a few trees this weekend. Anybody in mildly good shape from kids to adults can take part. Although I felt really safe with my helmet and harness on, my only beef was that there didn't seem to be enough guides around. It's basically up to you to be careful about keeping yourself hooked securely to the cables with your carabiners at all times. Other than that, I 'highly' recommend this sport of treetop trekking.

Spinning Romance?
Man and Woman at a Spinning Wheel
Pieter Pietersz (Dutch, 1540/41-1603)
Oil on panel, 76 x 53 cm
Object number:SK-A-3962
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Purchased with support from the Stichting Jubileumfonds Rijksmuseum 1958
The air of romance in this painting does not bode well. The young lady does not seem to welcome the advances of the man seated beside her. Does she doubt his sincerity or should she or would she rather be working on her spinning and all that that entails? She looks a tad fed up - does he, in fact, frequently interrupt her work? Whatever the case, I like this painting for the detail of the tools even though we cannot see very much of the wheel.

Eee! I have that niddy-noddy, it looks almost exactly like mine (a Kromski). What is in her other hand? (This is Lynn from the Gunroom.)

I have a niddy-noddy that is similar, too, but half that size. My other one is a sleek modern model.
I think the other object is a quill spindle for flax but I don't spin flax so I cannot say so definitely.
- 13 February 2011 at 18:24
She seems to be winding the thread from the object in her left hand onto the niddynoddy, to measure it into a skein. I tend to wonder whether such scenes are symbolic, given that the Fates spun, measured, and cut the length of men's lives. She has been interrupted in her measuring, and looks out at us, while the man almost doesn't seem to notice her, for all he's sitting so close.

Ospreys suffer 1st loss of American Legion baseball season
The Beaufort Ospreys' perfect start to the American Legion League 1 schedule sputtered in the ninth inning Monday and crashed during a 13-12 loss to Goose Creek.
Post 9/207 led 12-8 entering the final inning at Beaufort High School. Goose Creek's two-out rally kicked off with Christian Sillampa's RBI-double.
A walk, a couple errors and another double later, Beaufort entered the bottom of the ninth inning trailing for the first time in the young Legion season.
"What the heck just happened?" Beaufort Ospreys coach Mike Smith said. "That's what I want to know."
Beaufort gets a break from the vanilla schedule Tuesday, driving to Lake City for a non-league game. The Ospreys return home Thursday for a third of four games with the rival Heat.
Before Monday, Beaufort had not faced much trouble.
The Ospreys combined for 27 runs and 27 hits the past two games but are now 3-1.
"That's pounding the ball," Smith said.
Ospreys' right-hander Mattison Pike was in line for the victory, pitching into the fourth inning before handing off to Carson Gregory.
A five-run second inning and three runs in each the third and sixth innings made it look like Beaufort would pull away. But Goose Creek wasn't done.
The visitors scored four in the sixth to pull within one and chase Gregory, the recent Beaufort High graduate headed to Winthrop. Thomas Smith, who had not pitched since the Ospreys' opener against the Heat, tried to finish off the victory but succumbed to Goose Creek's rally.
Mike Smith wanted to save Thomas Smith for the game at Lake City tomorrow. Thomas Smith had been out last week with the flu but was fine by Monday.
Some patchwork pitching is in store the rest of the week.
As the Ospreys stumbled to the finish, Mike Smith hollered for his team to get out of it, for someone to make a play.
The untidy finish made for grim faces postgame as Beaufort prepares for two more games this week.
The schedule might have a monotonous feel, but the Ospreys are focused on earning the best possible seed for the state playoffs, no matter how many times they have to beat the same two teams.
"That's what we want," Smith said. "We kind of stubbed our toe in that pursuit today."
The league season is at the halfway mark. Beaufort still plays the Heat and Goose Creek twice more each.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the form of wood inlaying. For the knitting technique, please see Intarsia (knitting).
Intarsia is a form of wood inlaying that is similar to marquetry. The term is also used for a similar technique used with small, highly polished stones (see pietre dure). The technique of intarsia inlays sections of wood (at times with contrasting ivory or bone) within the solid matrix; by contrast marquetry assembles a pattern out of veneers upon the carcase. The technique of intarsia is believed to have developed in the Islamic world; introduced into Europe through Sicily, the art was perfected in Siena and in northern Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, spreading to German centers and introduced into London by Flemish craftsmen in the later sixteenth century. After about 1620, marquetry tended to supplant intarsia in urbane work.
It is the craft of using varied shapes, sizes and species of wood fitted together to create an almost 3-D inlaid, mosaic-like picture. It is thought that the word 'intarsia' is derived from the Latin word 'interserere' which means "to insert" and that it was originally developed in Siena, Italy in the 13th century by crafters using inlays of ivory inserted in wood as well as inlays of wood inserted into wall murals, table tops and other furniture (See : Duomo di Siena).
Today, intarsia is created by selecting different types of wood, using its natural grain patterns and colors (rather than dyes and stains) to create the different colors in the pattern. Each piece of wood is then individually cut , shaped, and sanded before fitting them together like a jig-saw puzzle and gluing them to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood backing cut to the shape of the final product. Sometimes, additional pieces of plywood are used to raise areas of the pattern to create more depth. Once together, a final layer of finish is applied and the project is complete.
Marble intarsia (opere di commessi), called pietra dura in English for the semi-precious hardstones combined with colored marbles that are employed, is an intarsia of coloured stones inlaid in white or black marble. Early examples in Florence date from the mid fifteenth century and reached a peak of refinement and complexity in revetments of the Medici Chapel, produced under Medici patronage in the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, which was established by Ferdinando I de' Medici. Later complex designs and refinement of the art developed in Naplescirca the beginning of the 17th century The floor of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is a particularly notable example of marble intarsia. Later this form of decoration became a feature of baroque interior design, particularly so in the Sicilian Baroque designs following the earthquake of 1693.

Bathroom Downlighters
How many Dave's does it take to change a light bulb? It depends where. We have some down lighters in one of the bathrooms, and they have damp proof enclosures.
Here you can see the internal and external enclosures.
And here you can see the lamp's attatchment to the lower collar. The spring is quite stiff so the lower plate needs to be pulled and the upper collar needs to be held so that the spring releases the lower collar.
EXIF and MacOS X
I have listened to Stop 43, and the British Journal of Photography I have read what Tim Bray has to say and decided I may need to ensure that my picture's EXIF data is accurate.
You can't give away what you don't own, and it seems you need to assert ownership of pictures. The way to do that is via image meta data, known as EXIF.
I plan to use reveal.app on MacOS X 10.5, which has its home here.

Dell Laptops, Summer 2013
Checking out another Dell for a friend.
I want a laptop and docking bay.
If a Dell, it needs to be a Latitude, they're the only machines they ship with the old fashioned docking bay interface. We don't want to connect a screen using USB and we want the machine to be closed while using the desktop periherals.
Here is the Dell E6530 configure page. Here is the docking station link. The laptop needs the E-Series Legacy Expansion Port added in the "Accessorize my Dell" section.
It also needs the O/S version upgraded to 64 bit. It comes without MS Office, soi this'll need to be added. Wonder if the still do educational discounts, looks like not, since Office 365 seems about the same price.
Maybe the docking station isn't worth it. Get a cheaper laptop, with a screen port, and buy a new screen with a newer interface standard.
How big is it, how much does it weigh?
Do Laptop Power sell docking stations?

Mac OS, about upgrades
I need to upgrade the Mac. The O/S version is getting a bit long in the tooth. I have V10.5, Leopard, I need to get to 10.6 Snow Leopard. Here are my notes and links.
This article, How to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard makes it seem easy, and here's the companion article about preparing for the upgrade.
Snow Leopard is the version with the distributed upgrader, and so Snow Leopard has to be bought and installed from DVD.
Here is a web version of the man page.
Obviously, I need to back up the hard disk, and have used Time Machine. I am a bit worried since I do not know how to recover stuff using the UNIX utilities from a Time Machine Archive.
Legacy apps
The biggest augmentation I have on the Mac is macports, I still have Porticus installed but have pretty much given up on it and use the command line. The Porticus site states it is not 10.7 or Macports 2.0 compliant and points at Pallet, an 'official' GUI. The macports site has a Guide.
I know that I have used macports, port command to update WINE, and have used WINE to install NWN.
I have upgraded macports and it's managed objects

Liferay is an open source, free portal server written in Java.
How to
They have a Quick Start page which illustrates a 4 step how to get started process. Liferay comes bundled with a private copy of its web container, and with tomcat binds to localhost:8080.
- I have changed the AWS firewall rules to permit it to work.
- I have amended the user list, and changed the passwords
- I have uploaded a picture of myself for my profile
I need to
- Install SysV init scripts
- Work out how to use apache as a proxy
- Change to MySQL
- Work out how to make it work
There is also Wiki which looks useful and a getting started page which might also help.
Container Version Control
The 6.0.6 version has a .war only at Source Forge. I have downloaded this to the VM. I plan to use it to install Liferay in a version of tomcat maintained by Ubuntu's apt-get.

Global Awareness
This year is the year of change. The global 99% movement and the Wall Street occupation movement as well as the other occupation movements have given us a global awareness that has ignited a call for global freedom and change that cannot be stopped. We are coming to see that our common human problems are showing us that we are all members of the same human race with the same human conditions. This has provided us with a global awareness in which we see our growing similarities eclipse our perceived national and ethnic differences.

My angel card reading testimonials no longer exist. When I transferred my site from my beloved WordPress site, little did I know how much data I would give up. I lost a minimum of 20 or more testimonials. Had I not pulled these two out, I would have nothing to show for years of work. Oh, well. Such is life.
The link to provide a personal review is included with every angel card reading overview. I am grateful to each person who takes the time to provide a review for you to assess if receiving Angelic assistance is right for you. Do what I do before every purchase! Check out the testimonials and reviews!
An angel Card Reading differs from Tarot, Spiritual or even Akashic readings. While all 3 involve some element of intuition, many people have a negative reaction or fear of Tarot. Tarot is Direct, sometimes brutally so. It is very often specific and TRUE! Lots of folk just cannot handle truth shared in this way.
Spiritual and Akashic readings done by a trusted spiritual person are wonderful to use as a means to check in with yourself during many life changes and phases. What I ADORE about Angel Card Readings is YOU get the exact information YOU need, no matter what your actual question is. Ponder on that for a minute. Many of my testimonials are for "general" questions. As in they ASKED NO Question, just wished to have general information.
In all of those readings, they STILL received the Exact Information they needed to hear! Your Angels are here to assist, guide, guard and protect you at all times in ALL ways. ARE YOU OPEN TO RECEIVE? Thank you for your love, light and open-minded consideration in requesting an Angel Card Reading! Angelic Blessings winging your way!
For those who want to dabble before investing, check out my Free Angel Card Reading page!
These reviews are quite special. Debbi Mancini is a true friend who I discovered on Facebook. We met for lunch in Ellicott City last summer and it was as if we had known each other for years!
This is how her review begins: Debbie says: February 5, 2015 at 4:04 PM:
"Holy heck! If you have ever been interested in having an angel card reading done, I highly recommend that you reach out to Michelle Smith. Although she and I are Facebook friends, we have never met, and Michelle has never glanced behind the proverbial curtain here in DebbieLand. She knows what she reads here, and although I am very transparent when I speak or write about something, like most folks, there is more under the surface in my private life that I choose not to share publicly. Michelle is not privy to anything other than Public Debbie.
With that said, Michelle just did a long-distance reading for me since we are in different states, and I don't know why, but I expected a weak reading, certainly not because of any doubt in her abilities, but more because of a nagging feeling that I had to be there in person in order to have a strong connection, and thus, a good reading. Boy, was I wrong! I was very wrong!
Michelle was thorough and spot-on in the areas which I was hoping to tune in to. I was amazed that she did not even touch upon areas which are not a concern for me right now. Her reading was definitive. She stayed on task, even when she stated twice that certain cards showed up in an odd order. Although it was puzzling to her in the moment, she persisted, and then it fell into place. The messages were strong, clear, and concise.
At one point, she said that during the reading, she was intuitively receiving a message; and after relaying that message to me, she asked if it meant anything special to me. She realized just how much it meant when it took me a while to compose myself in order to mutter a soft, 'Yes.'
If you know me, you know that I'm rarely, let me say that again, I am RARELY rendered speechless. Michelle knowingly sat quietly for a moment before continuing with the reading. She knew it was a monumental moment for me. She fully respected it, and honored it with me.
I kid you not when I say that there was a lot of information to absorb, and yet it was specific only to the important things for me right now. Prior to, and during my reading, Michelle did not know what areas were important to me, and what areas were not. I am still amazed that she did not once touch upon an area that was not of importance to me.
She could easily have ... but did not ... hit on the romance card with this single 50-something year old woman (I mean, who in that category would that card not somehow apply to, right?!) I was very impressed that she, instead, homed right in on the areas I had hoped she would hit with no hint or mention from me ... and she did more than hit upon them. She nailed them. She nailed them precisely with specific information and instructions.
Of course, intellect and free-will are important when it comes to instructions, yes?
Although I took notes, she emailed her own notes from the reading to me. I am still making my way through the information. I am still breaking it down into bite-sized chunks and processing it; however, I must admit that I paid attention to the right-up-front messages. I especially took immediate action on the 'meditate on this now' and the emphatic 'STOP this right now' messages.
Again, if you have entertained the thought of having a reading, do yourself a favor and hit this name ... Michelle Smith ... which is highlighted right now, and send her an inbox message. I would like to think that I am now Michelle's biggest fan; however, I am certain that I am just one of a gazillion!
Yes. She is that good!"

Here is Jeff's review: BONUS PONDER on THIS - posted May 6, 2014
"Last fall through a shared connection I connected on Facebook with a woman named Michelle D. Smith who, among other things, provides services as a certified Angel Card Reader. I was intrigued by her work and decided to try her services to gain some insight regarding a situation I was facing. Now that I have done so I have to say the information she provided was very relevant to my situation and insightful as well. As such, I recommend her services as a spiritual growth resource. Also note that the price of her Three Card Reading using a 1 card deck is a very affordable $24.99 (my prices have since been raised). Here is the link to learn more about her readings. In addition, please note that Michelle's website at Your Spiritual Garden has a wealth of information related to spirituality, so by all means check it out when you get a chance."

Helen Penn, professor of early childhood at the University of East London, is currently working on a study into the cost of childcare in England on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE).
Speaking at a Conservative Party Conference fringe event, Penn argued that proposals to cut regulation in the childcare sector or change staff ratios – outlined by new children's minister Elizabeth Truss before her appointment – would be ill-advised.
Truss set out the plans earlier this year in a paper for the think-tank Centre Forum, which claimed that childcare in Britain fails to provide value for money for either parents or the government.
It recommended adopting a model of childcare regulation and inspection similar to that used in the Netherlands.
But Penn dismissed the plans. "I really want to knock on the head this idea about the Netherlands," she said. "My colleague who is Dutch has specialised in following the Netherlands' provision.
"What happened when they deregulated in 2005 was that there was an enormous drop in quality. We should be absolutely clear about that. We have one of the most lightly regulated systems in Europe. Fiddling around with that is not going to change much."
Penn added that figures on the cost of childcare in England are misleading. "I've been doing a study for the DfE which breaks down the OECD family database. In other words, all the figures about how much parents pay for childcare and how much it costs," she said.
"The figures that say the cost of childcare is so high are partly an artifice of the data. In other words, the OECD data is calculated on the basis of the cost of two- and three-year-olds having 30 hours a week childcare, after any kind of subsidy to the nursery. But we calculate the figure before tax and benefits."
June O'Sullivan, chief executive of the London Early Years Foundation, agreed that childcare in the UK should not be deregulated.
"What we need is to address the interpretation of regulation. It's a bit like health and safety," she said. "You have a piece of legislation but it can be interpreted in so many ways, because local authorities are the gatekeepers of public money they have their own rules about what makes them feel safe about money they give out."
O'Sullivan added that parents would not support a change in the ratio of staff to children in childcare settings.
"People only have two hips and these children are small," she said. "The fact that you're really qualified doesn't stop you having to pick them up and look after them. We want really good engaged relationships with children. Why would we reduce the number of staff?"

Richard II
"Hadst thou groaned for him": Maternity, Power, and History in Richard II
Richard II, like most of Shakespeare's history plays (though, notably, unlike his comedies and tragedies), establishes a theatrical world dominated by men and masculinity. Female characters are few, and those that appear on the stage tend to say little and have less agency. But, as critic Graham Holderness notes, "women may not be much in evidence in the play, but femininity is" (173). Holderness' article "A Woman's War: A Feminist Reading of Richard II" attempts to reinsert femininity into history and historicity into feminist criticism, but his insightful argument does not examine fully enough the most powerful way in which femininity is in evidence in Richard II: in the imagery, metaphors, and explicit comments about motherhood, maternity, and childbirth that appear at various important moments throughout the play. Maternity not only reinserts femininity into the history play but indeed constructs femininity as the site of an uncanny, incomprehensible experience (of emotion, of power, of pain) that haunts both male and female characters and makes women far from a silent presence in Richard II. From John of Gaunt's searing elegy to his threatened motherland to Queen Isabella's prophetic...

The Office of International Programs will help three students
spend a semester studying abroad by giving $2,000 scholarships
for either fall 2005 and spring 2006.
In order to be eligible, the students must study abroad
for at least one long semester, according to OIP coordinator
of operations Donna Rogers.
These scholarships are available to students for study
that is not SHSU-faculty led.
" It's for those who want to continue their degree plan,
but want to do it in a foreign country," Rogers said. "They
have to find a program they want to attend, and then they
have to go to their adviser here at Sam and ensure that
the program is going to (allow the student to) obtain credits
that are transferable to their degree plan and transcript
" If they do that, and provide us with information
from the adviser that they are going to get transfer credit
for the
course, then they are eligible for the scholarship."
This would allow students to spend a semester studying
at such places as Oxford University in London, which has
a place of interest, Rogers said.
" We have a couple of young ladies in the dance department
who want to study at a dance school in France," she
To apply, a student must complete the application form,
which can be found at http://www.shsu.edu/~int_www/abroad/ or can
be picked up in Frels Hall Room 207; provide a statement
of purpose for the study abroad; provide two letters of
recommendation from professors; and provide evidence of
of academic credits.
The application deadline is April 30, and the recipients
will be awarded on May 15.
The office also offers smaller scholarships for students
to study abroad over the summer. SHSU is currently offering
study abroad in 12 different departments in countries all
over the world.
For more information, call 936.294.3892 or e-mail email@example.com.

To alleviate a potential parking problem due to the reduction
of spaces in the Estill parking lot, the university will
begin running a shuttle for the duration
of the Spring semester on Monday (March 21).
The shuttle will run from the Bowers Stadium parking lot from 7:30 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, making eight stops around campus.
Anyone can ride the bus and get on or off at any of the stops, which are marked
by signs around the perimeter of campus.
The University Police Department has posted an online map of the bus route
at http://www.shsu.edu/~upd_www/.
Parking spaces in the Estill lot have been displaced due to the beginning of
construction of a SHSU Visitors' Center at that location.
The loss of spaces in that parking lot have also led the university to re-designate
faculty and staff parking in the northwest corner of the student commuter lot
near the traffic light on Sam Houston Avenue.
In addition, parking garage fees have been lowered to $1 per hour, with a maximum
of $3 per day per parking period for unreserved spaces in the garage. Individuals
parking in the garage must use a Mastercard or Visa card to gain entry.
Automated equipment reads the credit card during the entrance and exit of the
lot, and the individual's account is billed automatically based on the
time spent in the garage.
The department of educational leadership and counseling
will host its inaugural "Yo
Puedo Volar (I Can Soar)" conference for Hispanic parents and daughters.
The conference, a service-learning project hosted by Women in Educational Leadership,
will be held on April 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Sam Houston State
Lowman Student Center.
The free event will give Hispanic women in grades 9-12 information on financial
aid, college admissions, student activities, academic majors and mentoring.
In addition, presenters will discuss their true stories of success.
Lunch will be provided at the event.
The registration deadline is April 15, and space is limited to the first 75
young women.
For more information, see a school guidance counselor or register at www.formsite.com.
Those with special needs can contact Linda Creighton at email@example.com or
The Registrar's Office will make preparations for the May 2005 commencement
a "one-stop-shop" with the first "Imagine Graduation," on
April 12.
The event will be held from11-2 in the Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum. Students
will be able to enter the coliseum on the west side, through doors 24, 25
and 26.
" Imagine Graduation" will provide essential information from different areas
of the university to allow students to take care of their last official SHSU
business and "ease their minds as they move closer to graduation," said
Valerie Sparkman, registrar associate.
The event will also serve as an opportunity for the graduate program to provide
information to students who may want to earn a master's degree or doctorate.
Giveaways and door prizes will also be provided.
For more information, call Sparkman at 936.294.1037.
The SHSU Alumni Association will help build the Bearkat
network through a Sam Works in The Woodlands on April 7.
Hors d'oeuvres and a free beverage will be served at Sam's
Boat, at 26710 I-45 North, for the event, which will be
held from 6-8 p.m.
For more information, call 936.294.1841.
As the Walker County Fair rolls around this year, the SHSU
Buyers Group will begin accepting donations to make purchases
that will benefit various youth
project sales at the fair. This year's fair will begin Friday (March
25), with the youth project sales on March 31.
The livestock sale will be held at 7 p.m. on March 31 in the main building.
A pre-sale dinner will be served at about 5:30 p.m.
" By combining donations as small as $5 and as large as $250, they (last
buyers group) were able to purchase, in the name of Sam Houston, several projects," said
Larry Brown, coordinator of the buyers group. "This money goes to the
youth, who usually put this money toward a college fund.
" I was the benefactor of this type of sale during my youth, a long time
ago, and
the funds allowed me to go to college," he said. "Believe me,
it does help. Many of these young people attend Sam Houston State University."
The group will represent SHSU at all of the sales, as funds permit, and the
group attempts to purchase projects of children related to a faculty, staff
retiree or alumni of the university.
All donations are tax-deductible and can be made to Larry Brown, SHSU Buyers
Group, P.O. Box 2215, Campus. Donations will also be accepted the night of
the livestock sale.
Anyone who knows of a participating youth related to someone affiliated with
the university should call Brown at 936.294.1884, Gwynetta at 936.294.1021,
or Debra at 936.294.1089.
The Program Council will reflect on body images and celebrate
History Month on Tuesday (March 22) and Thursday (March 24), respectively.
Peter Benedittis, a doctor, will discuss eating disorders at "Reflections
on Body Images," a Hispanic heritage committee event, on Tuesday at
7 p.m. in the Lowman Student Center Ballroom.
"There are beauty 'ideals' within most cultures and the Hispanic
culture is no exception," said Jeffery Oribhabor, vice president for public
relations. "Women in particular face body image concerns as they compare
themselves to what the 'ideal' Hispanic beauty should look like.
"We will try to enforce that body images are manipulated in real life and
women should appreciate themselves for who they are," he said.
On Thursday, the PC will honor women who have helped break the many stereotypes
they faced with "She-roes," an exhibit in the Lowman Student
Center Art Gallery.
For more information on either event, call Oribhabor at 936.294.1763

LINDLEY, JONATHAN (1814?–1836). Jonathan Lindley, Alamo defender, was born, according to family tradition, on February 12, 1814, in Sangamon County, Illinois, the son of Samuel Washington and Elizabeth "Polly" (Hall) Lindley. There is, however, no reliable source for his parentage and date of birth. He entered Mexican Texas in 1833, possibly in November. Lindley, a stockraiser, applied for a land grant in Joseph Vehlein's colony on November 4, 1834. He identified himself as a single man, without a family. His quarter-league grant, located on land now covered by Lake Livingston in Polk County, was surveyed on June 21, 1835, and the grant was issued on July 17, 1835. Lindley signed the grant application with an "X," which indicates he was probably illiterate and could not have been a surveyor as some sources have claimed. The grant was later invalidated because a previous grant had been surveyed on the site and issued to William Pace in May 1835. Lindley appears to have been unaware that his grant was invalidated, and he was probably living at the site in the fall of 1835 when the Texas Revolution broke out. Lindley joined Capt. John Crane's company and participated in the siege of Bexar in November 1835. In December 1835, during the storming of Bexar, Crane's company served in the First Division under the command of Benjamin R. Milam. On December 14 Lindley joined William R. Carey's artillery company and helped garrison the Alamo under the command of Lt. Col. James C. Neill. Lindley was killed in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. His probate inventory listed his possessions as including eighteen head of cattle, eleven hogs, and a "Brand Iron."

For a small vegetable, garlic sure has a big reputation.
Garlic does not bring good luck or ward off vampires, but it can transform any meal into an aromatic and healthy culinary experience. Garlic (from the allium family) is a cousin to onions, leeks and chives, which is why it is known for its pungent punchy flavour and fragrance.
What's That Smell…?
When garlic cloves are chewed, crushed or cut, they release a sulphur-bearing compound called allicin – the chemical that gives garlic its pungent taste and smell. And it's the allicin that is thought to be responsible for garlic's therapeutic qualities.
Apart from the eye-watering bite, garlic reeks when eaten raw. Too much is even bad for your digestion. This is something to consider particularly when you're meeting clients, about to get kissed or visiting God's place of worship to pray.
Consideration for others and good hygiene is the message here. Garlic breath is a no-brainer so use common sense and don't overdo it.
Garlic grows as a "bulb" head, averaging about 2-3 inches in size and consists of numerous small separate cloves.
Both the cloves and the entire bulb are encased in paper-like coats that can be coloured off-white or have a pinkish hue.
To remove, use a small knife to peel the skins, drop the cloves into boiling then cold water to shock them or (and this is my favorite method), bang each clove with the flat side of a knife/rolling-pin against a chopping board and pick the skins off.
Garlic is native to central Asia and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region. Garlic is grown globally, but according to the United States Department of Agriculture (2006), China is by far the largest producer of garlic, with approximately 10.5 million tonnes grown annually, accounting for over 77% of world output. India (4.1%) and South Korea (2%) follow, with Egypt and Russia (1.6%) tied in fourth place
The papery, protective layers of "skin" over garlic are generally discarded for cooking although garlic is best roasted whole in the oven, skins and all intact.
Garlic is a wonderful seasoning to breads, soups and meat dishes. It can be added at the first stage to a recipe, crushed or ground to a paste and fried in a little oil. Or it can be grated at the end of cooking process to retain the maximum flavour and nutrition.
Roast whole cloves with potatoes and chicken until they're charred and soft; for garlic bread just rub a sliced clove onto a halved baguette and drizzle in olive oil before grilling.
Health Benefits Of Garlic
Garlic's antibacterial and antiviral properties are perhaps its most legendary feature.
If you feel a the flu virus attacking eat a raw clove or two knowing that it'll beat the virus faster than prescribed medicine. Of course don't munch on garlic as is—unless you're happy with that—thinly slice it, eat it with toast or chop in halves and gulp down with water like a pill.
This vegetable has been studied not only for its benefits in controlling infection by bacteria, but also infection from other microbes including yeasts and fungi.
Our red blood cells use molecules from garlic called polysulfides to produce hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). This in turn helps our blood vessels expand and keep our blood pressure in check.
Other benefits from just one clove a day will top your body's supply of:
Vitamin C – for tissue growth and repair
Vitamin B6 – important for metabolism and immunity
Selenium, iron, calcium and manganese minerals
There are people who are allergic to garlic so be kind and ask before cooking for others.
Note: Don't microwave garlic as this kills its active ingredients.

While it served as a night club, most famous singers and stars of the period took its stage. Among its regulars there were famous people and even Müzeyyen Senar took stage as a big star for the first time here. For years people of Istanbul ran to Belvü Casino to listen famous singers such as Mermaid Eftalya and cruised on boats in front of the night club and enjoyed the warm summer evenings.
With time Belvü Casino saw some changes. As Istanbul night clubs closed up, Belvü Casino was closed also. But it welcomed its customers with a different face. Now it continues its business with three different concepts, BELVU Sea fish restaurant, BELVU fireside barbecue restaurant and JARDIN bistro.

This way your meal never gets cold.
Belvu Sea Restaurant is a popular place for sea food lovers.

Yang Shen paints his childhood fantasies. On his canvas, pupils await the arrival of US President Richard Nixon; sailors gaze out through binoculars; and the Chinese children's song "Yifenqian" comes to life.
The 42-year-old Beijing artist grew up during a time when resources were scarce. His father taught art at a secondary school, and it was on campus that Yang discovered his dream of becoming an artist.
One day, Yang found some discarded modeling clay on campus and began shaping it into figures of animals and people. A painter who was friends with his father saw his creations and advised Yang to pursue art training.
Yang studied mural painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1996. During his college career he experimented with graffiti and recalled the delight his clay creations gave him during childhood.
"It turned out that my love for literature and comics, together with my art training, all pointed toward painting stories. I found pleasure by building a fictional world on canvas that reflects my imagination, memories, desires and thoughts," Yang wrote in "All for Fun," his his article on Artand.cn.
This shift in style is reflected in his 2008 oil painting series The World Without Pain. Against a somber background, the paintings illustrate a creature between man and animal, with two short ears on its head and a drowsy face. The dark imagery is inspired by real-life challenges and things that happened to his friends, he said.
"The creature deviates from the way in which rabbits and cartoon characters are normally depicted. It should be interpreted as a victim, being tied, cut, imprisoned or poisoned. But there are times when the rabbit grabs weapons and defends itself, like setting a toy soldier on fire in an imaginary world," curator Yang Guopeng says.
In 2011, Yang started painting The Zoo series. The series contains three of his best works: "Nocturnal House," "Sailor and Lake Monster" and "Navy and Kelp."
"The whole series just feels like a brand new start," Yang said. "A zoo is how people imitate nature both for academic and entertainment purposes, which is similar to painting."
"I don't want to be a painter who is known for nostalgia. This series intrigues me because I was able to turn the zoo into a stage where all my fantasies could play their magic," he said.
In the Zoo series, Yang's imagination is vividly expressed. In bright colors, or sometimes just black and white, the series features numerous icons of the 1980s. In "Acrobatics," four trilobites are sprawled on the ground while two acrobats are performing a balancing act in the background. The series creates a bizarre atmosphere because it features scenes that would never take place in a real zoo.
Yang says he still needs to improve a lot. He believes his work will find a market if it's good enough.
Looking back at his career, he says he hasn't changed all that much.
"I still love making up drawings and scenes in my head. Sometimes I play with modeling clay to better understand the characters' motion and lighting," Yang says.
"Maybe I was a better artist when I was six. I indulged myself in the game, I didn't care what the audience would think, and I didn't get upset over imperfections. Because I only had one bar of modeling clay, I would remake even my best works. It was all for fun," he said.

They keep flitting around bumping into other thoughts, ("Boy, I wish I was still in bed"), and never stay put on your mental to-do list.

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is still very much in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Raees'Leave a Comment
Producer rubbishes reports
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani has strongly refuted rumours that Pakistani actress Mahira Khan will be replaced in the film, after Indian nationalist party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) demanded a ban on films featuring Pakistani artists.
He has also rubbished reports that the release of his forthcoming Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Raees' has been postponed, saying the film will hit the screens as announced.
"I do not understand where all these rumours are coming from," said Ritesh.
"I would only say one thing - I have shot with Mahira for 45 days and finished the film, I hope that clarifies things."
'Raees', scheduled to release on 26th January, features Pakistani actress Mahira Khan who is making her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, 'Raees' is set in 1980's Gujarat and tells the story of bootlegger Raees Khan (Shah Rukh), whose business is challenged and eventually thwarted by a police officer played by actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
There were reports that the makers were considering to push the release of the crime-drama, after MNS demanded a ban on Bollywood films starring Pakistani artistes, in wake of the Uri terror attack.
The Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA), however, had a meeting with MNS and urged the political party not to hamper the release of the already shot films featuring Pakistani artistes.
When asked about the reports, Sidhwani told reporters, "We are sticking to the release date we announced earlier for 'Raees'. I don't think something like a ban has happened.
"The association has itself written to the government that people who have already made their films, who have completed their shooting, we should respect that. Let those movies release and whatever the government decides in the future, they will take a call on that," he said.
The producer, however, chose not to comment on whether a ban on Pakistani artistes was justified, and said he was pained and saddened by the terrorist attacks.
"I don't want to comment on that (Pakistani actors ban). It is very sensitive. Right now everything is very heated, I don't think it is the right moment to talk about it," he said.
Ritesh added that he has been visiting Delhi frequently for work and he will be begin to start shooting for the sequel of 'Fukrey' from 19th November. "The film will be shot across Delhi and will be a special film as the story has a different spin to it. I love shooting in Delhi. I think it is beautiful and it is at least better planned than Mumbai. It is not chaotic, it is fun."

PLSJC Director Alan Hall writes a weekly column discussing library and community news, history, and other interesting subjects.
Today's online library catalog has sure changed in the last decade.
For year, a library catalog consisted of a piece of furniture with drawers containing 3 x 5 cards with information about things in the library's collection.
Our catalog was closed and removed in 1993, and in those 15 years much has changed.
Beyond the traditional author, title, and subject access of the old card catalog, searching has expanded to include keyword searching.
Searches can be expanded to include locations, formats, and language.
The Best Sellers Lists appear in the online catalog and link directly to the item on the lost.
Movies, audio books, and music can be searched separately from print materials, or combine to search everything at once.
Children can use their own search tools.
People can establish and manage their own accounts, renew their own items, and place requests for anything in the system.
Added to the online catalog in recent year has been eBooks, electronic versions of their paperbound counterparts that can be downloaded into whatever machines you use.
Thousands of titles are available, are loaned for three weeks, and automatically disappear on their own with no overdue fines.
Try explaining that to a librarian in 1950 and see how they would have reacted!
The latest additions under "idownloads" are MP3 audiobooks and videos.
They can be used with the iPod, iPhone, iPod shuffle, and virtually any MP3 player.
Each selection online has a small graphic and description like the dust jacket of a paper book, and the blurb in the front of the book.
There is also a link to the "Ohio eBook Project" with more electronic titles.
The catalog also contains a link to the "iResources" which contains Ohio's "Know it Now," and "Homework Now," both online help for reference and homework.
"Learning Express" provides interactive online practice tests for anyone to use for practice.
Finally, the "Ohio Web Library" connects to thousands of online publications available through your library card in an Ohio Library.
Library catalogs existed for over 200 years in a variety of paper formats, while online systems are barely 20 years old and changing daily.
Paper and electronic formats are intermixed and accessed by the same tools.
When our library opened in 1902, Librarian Ellen Summers Wilson pounded out cards on her new typewriter in preparation for opening day.
I wonder if she had any vision of what the world of libraries would be like a century later.

Salman takes Saudi throne with continuity pledge
Abdullah, a cautious reformer who led the US-allied Gulf state through a turbulent decade in a region shaken by the Arab Spring uprisings and Islamic extremism, died early Friday aged about 90.
In his first public statement as the new ruler, 79-year-old King Salman vowed to "remain, with God's strength, attached to the straight path that this state has walked since its establishment".
He called for "unity and solidarity" among Muslims and vowed to work in "the defence of the causes of our nation".
Moving to clear uncertainty over the transition to the next generation, Salman named his nephew, Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, as second in line to the throne behind Crown Prince Moqren, 69.
His appointment helps to solidify control by the new king's Sudayri branch of the royal family.
Salman also appointed one of his own sons, Prince Mohammed, as defence minister of the world's top oil exporter and the spiritual home of Islam.
World leaders praised the late Abdullah as a key mediator between Muslims and the West, but campaigners criticised his human rights record and urged Salman to do more to protect freedom of speech and women's rights.
Salman joined Gulf rulers and leaders including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for a simple funeral service at Riyadh's Imam Turki bin Abdullah mosque on Friday.
Abdullah's body, wrapped in a cream-coloured shroud, was borne on a simple litter by members of the royal family wearing traditional red-and-white checked shemagh headgear.
The body was quickly moved to nearby Al-Od public cemetery where in keeping with tradition it was buried in an unmarked grave.
Citizens were invited to pledge allegiance to Salman at the royal palace.
Officials did not disclose the cause of Abdullah's death, but the late king had been hospitalised in December suffering from pneumonia and had been breathing with the aid of a tube.
Obama hails 'valued' ally
Under Abdullah, who took the throne in 2005, Riyadh has been a key ally of Washington in the Arab world, last year joining the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria and Iraq.
President Barack Obama was quick to pay tribute to Abdullah as a "valued" ally.
"The closeness and strength of the partnership between our two countries is part of King Abdullah's legacy," Obama said in a statement shortly after the monarch's death.
Vice President Joe Biden said on Twitter he would lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia "to pay respect and offer condolences".
Other tributes came in from foreign leaders, with French President Francois Hollande hailing Abdullah as "a statesman whose work profoundly marked the history of his country".
British Prime Minister David Cameron said that Abdullah would be remembered for "his commitment to peace and for strengthening understanding between faiths."
Cameron will travel to Saudi Arabia on Saturday to pay his respects in person, Downing Street said.
As the top producer in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Saudi Arabia has been the driving force behind the cartel's refusal to slash output to support oil prices, which have fallen by more than 50 percent since June.
But prices surged Friday, amid uncertainty over whether the new king would maintain that policy.
The International Energy Agency's chief economist said he did not foresee major policy shifts.
"I do not expect any significant change in the oil policy of Saudi Arabia and I expect and hope that they will continue to be a stabilisation factor in the oil markets," Fatih Birol told AFP in Davos, Switzerland.
Royal family stalwart
Saudi Arabia is home to Islam's holiest sites, Mecca and Medina, and its role as a spiritual leader for Sunni Muslims has seen it vying for influence with Shiite-dominated Iran.
Tehran nonetheless offered its condolences, saying Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif would also travel to Riyadh to take part in official ceremonies on Saturday.
Behind his thick, jet-black moustache and goatee, Abdullah had a shrewd grasp of regional politics.
Wary of the rising influence of Islamist movements, Saudi Arabia has been a generous supporter of Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi since the army's ouster of Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt declared seven days of official mourning for Abdullah.
Saudi Arabia has also played a key role in supporting opposition to Iran-backed President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, allowing US troops to use its territory to train rebel fighters.
Salman is widely expected to follow closely in Abdullah's footsteps, in foreign and energy policy as well as in making moderate reforms to the deeply conservative kingdom.
Abdullah pushed through cautious changes while in power, challenging conservatives with moves such as including women in the Shura Council, an advisory body.
He promoted the kingdom's economic development and oversaw its accession to the World Trade Organisation, tapping into the country's massive oil wealth to build new cities, universities and high-speed railways.
'Insensitive to human rights'
But Saudi Arabia is still strongly criticised for a dismal human rights record, including the imprisonment of dissidents. It is also the only country in the world that does not allow women to drive.
"The Saudi regime seems insensitive to human rights and human dignity and unfortunately they are also protected by many Western countries because they have oil and because they are seen as allies in the fight against terrorism," Amnesty International head Salil Shetty told AFP in Davos.
Salman is a stalwart of the royal family credited with transforming Riyadh from a backwater to a thriving capital during his half-century as governor.
Since the death in 1952 of the kingdom's founder, King Abdul Aziz bin Saud, the throne has passed systematically from one of his sons to another.
Abdul Aziz had 45 recorded sons. Abdullah, Salman and Moqren were all born to different mothers.
Saudi Arabia has managed to avoid the social upheaval that has shaken many of its neighbours in recent years, thanks in large part to massive public spending.
But the new king will face some major challenges, especially as falling oil prices cut into state revenues. – AFP

Gucci Mane Icy
Gucci Mane Icy With Zaytoven, Young Jeezy, Boo
One song that changed the entire personality of hip hop music was made by Gucci Mane. The Gucci Mane Icy song had an unpredictably big impact on all of rap fans. It was produced by Zaytoven, a man who is considered by many to be the best producer in all of rap music. The producer Zaytoven was working with Gucci Mane one day in the studio as well as the artist Young Jeezy, and the three recorded a classic song. The trio ended up adding another artist by the name of "Boo" to the chorus, which ended up giving it a classic-sound. They started by promoting it in East-Atlanta, Georgia, where all three artists were from. They brought the song to local radio stations, various nightclubs, as well as strip-clubs. The song was widely accepted at all venues and it evolved into a major hit.
This was the first form of success that any of the artists had experienced. The song was owned completely by Gucci Mane, but his friend Young Jeezy wanted to be able to include it on his first album called "Thug Motivation 101." Gucci Mane did not agree that it could be included because he felt like Jeezy was trying to leech off his fame. The two ended up terminating their friendship and working relationship over this song. They disputed over it and even went to court over the rights to the song. Jeezy ended up losing the court battle and the song ended up getting included on the album "Trap House" by Gucci Mane. Because the song became such a massive radio hit, the "Trap House" album ended up selling a lot of copies as an independently released project.
Gucci Mane So Icey Entertainment
The people who bought the album ended up realizing that Gucci Mane La Flare was
going to be an artist who was going to have longevity in the rap game
because he had such a huge street family supporting him.
Unfortunately, a time would come when he would face jail time for a
shooting, drug possession, as well as gun possession. It was not good
for him or his fans to have to wait for him to get out of jail before
he could release new music. He would eventually be proven innocent for
his crimes and would go on to release several more successful
independent albums through a local record label in Atlanta. After his
album "Trap-A-Thon," Gucci ended up signing a deal with Atlantic
Records; his first major label deal.
He would go on to have even more success because people knew him as the guy who made the hit song "Icy." Everywhere he went he was recognized as being "So Icy." Because of his success with this song and his love for jewelry, he ended up establishing his own record company called "So Icey Entertainment." He signed the producer Zaytoven to a deal immediately as well as several other artists who were trying to make a name for themselves. Today, the record label is still holding strong and Gucci Mane La Flare has a lot of good things going for him. He is widely recognized as one of the top artists in the rap game and one of the best artists to ever "spit a freestyle."
Gucci Mane Icy Video
Gucci Mane Is "So Icey"
Gucci is still an artist who considers himself to be one of the most
iced-out people in the world. He has jewelry that he commonly wears
that is worth several million dollars. He knows that people aren't
going to steal it from him because he has earned too much respect from
his past struggle. Much of his initial success can be attributed to
the Gucci Mane Icy song, which lead him to start doing shows and working hard on
his performances. If you ever go to a Gucci Mane concert, you will
quickly find out that he is one of the most fashionable rappers and one
of the most down-to-Earth people that you have ever seen on stage.
He is certainly not shy about his stardom and being "so icy," but he makes music that people can relate to and that they can use as motivation to become as much of a success-story as he did. From Caucasian suburban teens playing "So Icy" at parties to African-American teens playing the song in their neighborhoods, Gucci Mane realizes that he was able to create a song that all different groups of people could enjoy. His success is well-deserved and he has only gone on to release more authentic new music.

Put all the pieces for the Sugar Plum Fairy Bag onto your virtual mat and arrange them the way Mary has them on the bag. First I drew lines where the scoring would be when you score it on your scoreboard. This helped me get the pieces in the right places. Then make different sized circles and place them one in the center of the burst where her hand is pointing to and around the bag to emulate stars. I started with really small circles but should have gone a bit larger so try about a W.0.170 on a piece of scratch paper and see how you like the size. Choose your first circle then holding down the shift key choose all the other circles one by one and lastly your burst and bag itself. Then go to modify and subtract and that should make tiny holes in your bag for the lights to shine through. Move all your pieces except the bag off the mat and cut the bag then all the other pieces.
Now comes the part where most men cringe,using Versa Mark and Heat and stick add glitter to your white branches and the star burst. I used one of my favorite glitters, Art Glitter Ultra fine Translucent Crystal Glitter. I use this one because it has a wonderful way of picking up the color it is adhered to and makes it look so different. It is VERY messy and I often have glitter on me for days but who doesn't love a little sparkle once in a while? Heat set it and then set it aside for the assembly later.
I decided that it needed snowflakes so I got out a small snowflake stamp from Winter in the Park by Lawn Fawn. Using the Versa Mark again I stamped snowflakes here and there and then used Stampin' Up White Emboss powder to make snowflakes on the bag itself. I also stamped them onto the fairies wings which I had cut out of Stampin Up Card Stock weight Vellum. Seriously, once you try this stuff you know why I use it all the time. I love the card stock weight vellum!
I put everything on the bag making sure to not cover holes I had put in, then added 3d zots to adhere the wings onto the back of the fairy. I added an extra 3d zots to the back of the fairy below the wings and put her onto the front. Carefully lay the open bag onto the front so you can tape the fairy lights to the inside of the bag over the holes. I used plastic wound tape as I wanted to be able to remove them, when I was ready to put away the Christmas Decoration at a later date. Next glue the side of the bag together and fold the flaps into the slots and turn on you fairy lights. Volia! it is done!
Super simple and I will bet it will take you even less time of you don't add all the glitter or use already glittered paper and a great pattern paper. There are LOTS of great papers out there and it only took me an hour to make even with the glitter and making dinner in between. I do take my time though as part of the fun for me is designing it and then seeing it come to life. The other thing I like about this is it is a small bag and doesn't take up to much space. If you wanted to make one for someone who doesn't have a ton of space this would be perfect.
Although I was really tempted to put on the music from Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, I was content with it playing in my head. Music helps set the mood if I am having trouble creating a seasonal or period item. Example if I am making something vintage from the 1920's I will listen to music from that period. Just a trick I use to help the creative mood to flow... anyhoo, thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog and Happy Craftin' Y'all! Blessings Sharalyn

Every county has a fair, which usually takes place near the county seat. Over the years, many fairgrounds have become the sites of year-round activities. Conferences and conventions use some of these facilities. In other communities, the community has supported the construction of facilities specifically for conventions, such as Seaside, or for public events, such as Florence.
