			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/woman-on-phone.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1747" title="woman on phone" src="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/woman-on-phone.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="178" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/phone-readings.html">Phone Readings</a> are just as enlightening and informative as a ‘face-to-face’ <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/psychic-readings.html">psychic reading</a> or <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/psychic-mediumship.html">mediumship</a> session with <a href="http://www.rickywood.net">Psychic Medium, Ricky Wood</a>. He is just as able to connect with the spirits and messages for you while speaking with you over the phone.</p>
<p>Clients from all across the country seek guidance from Rick for psychic readings, mediumship, <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/life-coaching.html">life coaching</a>, and counseling via the phone because of geographical location, time constraints, etc.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The measurement of distance that we as humans comprehend does not extend to the spirit world; therefore, Rick does not need to see your physical presence to connect with you or your loved ones.</span><br />
So if you are NOT in close proximity to his <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/contact-rick.html">Berwyn office</a> outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or his <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/contact-rick.html">Tempe, Arizona</a> office outside of Phoenix, and you would like any one of his services, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you can be assured that you will receive the same quality and authenticity during a phone reading that you would if you were visiting his office.</span></p>
<p><strong>Here is one of many <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/testimonials.html">testimonials</a> about Ricky, here is what she said about her phone reading with Rick </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;I have been read twice by Rick within the past year&#8211; the first time was a phone reading which was so accurate it was almost overwhelming &#8212; following the phone reading events happened in my life that required further clarification and I went to see Rick personally. Both readings were of great assistance allowing me to set my life goals with purpose. I like the fact that Rick will tell your like he sees it tactfully, he is also very encouraging ensuring you reach your maximal potential.&#8221; &#8212; LaSalle King</em></strong></p>

<p><em>&#8220;My experiences working with Rick have truly been amazing. I didn&#8217;t necessarily believe in the world of psychic phenomenon until I met him. I&#8217;ve had many readings with Rick, but it has been my 2 <strong>past life regressions</strong> that have impacted my life significantly. Rick has been an inspirational guide in helping to answer many lingering questions that I wasn’t able to answer on my own. Rick, I always appreciate your candidness &amp; compassion. I sincerely feel honored to have you in my life! Thank you!&#8221; &#8212; Janelle Moore</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">If somehow you aren&#8217;t familiar with the phenomenon of <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/mediumship.html"target="_blank"title="" >mediumship</a> and you want to know what it is -</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mediumship is a type of <a href="http://www.rickywood.net/services/psychic-readings.html"target="_blank"title="" >psychic</a> reading in which Ricky is able to assist in giving messages to you from those who have passed on. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>What is a session like?</strong></p>
<p>During a mediumship session he may receive specific words, phrases, names, symbols, accents, and other definitive information that will help you recognize who is trying to speak with you. There is not a guarantee that the person you want to hear from will come through; however, chances are if you are yearning for some type of communication then they probably need to speak with you as well.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, death can be unsettling when it is unexpected or abrupt. <strong>A reconnection through a mediumship session can be life altering, as it has for so many of Rick&#8217;s clients.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mediumship sessions with Ricky have brought peace of mind to so many people by giving them the ability to move on in their current life knowing that their loved one is still with them.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1737" title="beach" src="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/beach-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><em><strong>Hollywood, California – December 16, 2011 – The founding members of The Beach Boys, one of the world&#8217;s most legendary bands in popular music history, will reunite for a global 50th Anniversary CELEBRATION in 2012. Beach Boys Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks will come together for a new studio album and commemorative catalog releases with Capitol/EMI and a 50-date international tour to begin in April with a headlining performance at the New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival (&#8220;Jazz Fest&#8221;) as well as other exciting events to be announced.</strong></em></p>
<p>Brian Wilson says, &#8220;This anniversary is special to me because I miss the boys and it will be a thrill for me to make a new record and be on stage with them again.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mike Love says, &#8220;We got together at Capitol Records and re-recorded &#8216;Do It Again.&#8217;  Brian and I wrote that song which went to number 1 in Great Britain, Australia and elsewhere some 44 years ago.  Brian paid me a compliment saying, &#8216;How can a guy sound that great so many years later?&#8217; Later on, while working out some harmonies on a new song Brian had written, I got a chance to return the compliment.  It was a thrill to be around a piano again with Brian, Alan and Bruce and experience firsthand the brilliance of Cousin Brian&#8217;s gift for vocal arrangements. I am very much looking forward to David Marks joining us and thrilling with his surf guitar licks. Music has been the unifying and harmonizing fact of life in our family since childhood. It has been a huge blessing that we have been able to share with the world.  Wouldn&#8217;t It Be Nice to Do It Again?  Absolutely!&#8221;</p>
<p>Al Jardine says, &#8220;The Beach Boys were recently inducted into the California Hall of Fame. From our humble beginnings as brothers, cousins and friends, we have been honored to sing the praises of California, and I&#8217;m really excited for our fans to be able to see us again in concert on the world stage, and to celebrate our 50th anniversary together with a new studio album.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bruce Johnston says, &#8220;I will be looking forward to singing Brian Wilson&#8217;s melodies and Mike Love&#8217;s lyrics once again in concert with many of the original band members, but imagine what we all could come up with vocally in a recording studio atmosphere under Brian&#8217;s musical direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>David Marks says, &#8220;I&#8217;m really looking forward to celebrating this important milestone in The Beach Boys&#8217; history with the other guys, and with Capitol Records &#8211; where it all began 50 years ago. It means a lot to me that we can all reunite and pay tribute to the fans who have kept the music alive.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>The Beach Boys have already recorded several songs for their new album, to be released in 2012 by Capitol/EMI, with more tracks to be recorded before its completion. The as-yet-untitled album, the first to feature all of the band&#8217;s surviving original members in decades, is being produced by Brian Wilson and executive produced by Mike Love.</strong></em></p>
<p>The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI have also teamed up for a 50th Anniversary campaign spotlighting the band&#8217;s entire catalog, with several new commemorative releases planned for 2012, including a new hits collection and a career-spanning box set.</p>
<p><a href="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bboys.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1738" title="bboys" src="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bboys.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="183" /></a>Roger Faxon, CEO of EMI Group commented: &#8220;It&#8217;s no exaggeration to say that The Beach Boys are one of the greatest and most loved bands that the world has ever produced, and true American icons. We are incredibly proud to take this next step with them as our partnership enters its fiftieth year, and I can&#8217;t wait to see the band back together doing what they do better than anyone else.&#8221;</p>
<p>Colin Finkelstein, COO of EMI Music North America said: &#8220;We&#8217;re honored to continue Capitol/EMI&#8217;s historic partnership with The Beach Boys as they celebrate their fiftieth anniversary.  The Beach Boys bring the best of California&#8217;s sun and surf culture to people all over the world with their music, and we&#8217;re really looking forward to working with the band on the new album and commemorative catalog releases &#8211; a real CELEBRATION of fifty years!&#8221;</p>
<p>Quint Davis, producer/director, New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival says, &#8220;It&#8217;s an honor to present the original Beach Boys reunion at Jazz Fest 2012. Hosting the greatest artists of our era has always been the primary mission of Jazz Fest, and certainly The Beach Boys are unsurpassed as an iconic American musical and cultural institution. Every spring Jazz Fest is the number-one destination for good vibrations and fun, fun, fun; on April 27th, when The Beach Boys reunite on our biggest stage, it&#8217;s going to feel like a thrilling homecoming for everyone lucky enough to be there. We&#8217;re all looking forward to experiencing the magic and the joy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Founded in Hawthorne, California in 1961, The Beach Boys were originally comprised of the three teenaged Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. In 1962, neighbor David Marks joined the group for their first wave of hits on Capitol Records, leaving in late 1963, and in 1965, Bruce Johnston joined the band when Brian Wilson retired from touring to focus on writing and producing records for the group. For five decades, America&#8217;s first pop band to reach the 50 year milestone has recorded and performed the music that has become the world&#8217;s favorite soundtrack to summer.</p>
<p>The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin&#8217; Safari, that same year. The album spent 37 weeks on the Billboard chart, launching the young group known for its shimmering vocal harmonies and relaxed California style into international stardom. The Wilson/Love collaboration resulted in many huge international chart hits, and under Brian Wilson&#8217;s musical leadership, the band&#8217;s initial surf-rock focus was soon broadened to include other themes, making The Beach Boys America&#8217;s preeminent band of the 1960s.</p>
<p>In 1966, The Beach Boys were one of the first bands to found its own record label with the launch of Brother Records, Inc. (BRI), with the band&#8217;s members as its shareholders and Capitol Records as its distribution partner. BRI continues to manage The Beach Boys&#8217; intellectual property, including the band&#8217;s catalog with Capitol/EMI and other label partners, as well as its name, logos, image and likeness.</p>
<p>The Beach Boys continue to hold Billboard / Nielsen SoundScan&#8217;s record as the top-selling American band for albums and singles, and they are also the American group with the most Billboard Top 40 chart hits (36). &#8216;Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys&#8217; is fast approaching triple-Platinum sales status, and &#8216;The SMiLE Sessions,&#8217; released to worldwide critical acclaim in November, has been heralded as 2011&#8242;s #1 Reissue of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.</p>
<p>Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and recipients of The Recording Academy&#8217;s Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, The Beach Boys are an American institution that is iconic around the world.<br />

<p>The biggest problem is that this guidance will turn a notification system into an approval system—<em><strong>a terrible precedent that will utterly cut off the supply of nutritional supplements.</strong></em> It will also create such huge barriers for supplement manufacturers that it will be much more difficult and expensive to produce them. But of course, that means consumers would either have to pay much more for nutritional supplements, or else risk not being able to buy them at all if the manufacturer deems them too expensive to produce. Some of the natural supplements you take today will be yanked of the shelves&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>The FDA has extended the period for you to protest this law until September 30.</strong></em></p>

<p>THE BEACH BOYS’ LEGENDARY ‘SMiLE’ ALBUM SESSIONS TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 1 BY CAPITOL/EMI &#8212; ART AND TRACKLISTS UNVEILED</p>
<p><em><strong>Never-Before-Released Original 1966-’67 Album Sessions Compiled for 2CD and Digital Packages and Deluxe, Expanded Box Set; Special Packages to be Available Exclusively from TheBeachBoys.com</strong></em></p>
<p>Official Beach Boys Music Videos to be Crowdsourced via<br />
Tongal’s First-Ever Music Video Initiative</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;The most famous unfinished album in rock &amp; roll history…” – Rolling Stone</strong></em></p>
<p>Hollywood, California – August 30, 2011 – With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band’s legendary 1966-’67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album. Capitol/EMI and The Beach Boys are pleased to announce November 1 (October 31 internationally) as the release date for the long-awaited arrival of The SMiLE Sessions in multiple physical and digital configurations. Artwork and complete tracklists are also unveiled for what Rolling Stone magazine recently called “the most famous unfinished album in rock &amp; roll history.”</p>
<p>In numerous sessions between the spring of 1966 and the summer of 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band’s 1966 masterpiece, Pet Sounds. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys’ SMiLE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, The SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys&#8217; recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.</p>
<p>The SMiLE Sessions’ 2CD lift-top box, double vinyl LP, digital album, and iTunes LP formats feature an approximation of what was intended to be the completed SMiLE album, compiled from The Beach Boys’ original session masters. Additional session highlights and bonus tracks are also included, including demos and stereo mixes.<a href="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cover.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1705" title="cover" src="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cover.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>An expanded, boxed edition of The SMiLE Sessions will also be released physically and digitally, featuring the main SMiLE album tracks, plus four CDs of additional audio from the legendary sessions, a double vinyl LP set, and two 7” vinyl singles. The deluxe box will also contain a 60-page hardbound book with rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia from The Beach Boys’ archive and newly-written essays by Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston, as well as by Beach Boys historian and author Domenic Priore and many other inner-circle participants.</p>
<p>Produced by Brian Wilson, Mark Linett, Alan Boyd and Dennis Wolfe in Los Angeles, all of The SMiLE Sessions’ physical and digital configurations include an assembled collection of core session tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter. The SMiLE Sessions invites the listener into the studio to experience the album&#8217;s creation, with producer, singer and bassist Brian Wilson&#8217;s vision leading the way as he guides his fellow Beach Boys, singer Mike Love, drummer Dennis Wilson, lead guitarist Carl Wilson, rhythm guitarist Al Jardine, and newest member Bruce Johnston (who&#8217;d replaced Brian Wilson in the touring group during 1965), through the legendary sessions.</p>
<p>Artwork for all of The SMiLE Sessions’ physical and digital configurations has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes’ original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album. With its three-dimensional shadowbox lid, The SMiLE Sessions box set offers a whimsical peek inside the storied ‘SMiLE Shop.’</p>
<p>Several special SMiLE Sessions packages will be available for purchase exclusively on thebeachboys.com, including:</p>
<p><em><strong>The SMiLE Sessions 2CD edition paired with a limited edition SMiLE t-shirt</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> The SMiLE Sessions 2CD edition paired with a limited edition autographed lithograph</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> The SMiLE Sessions limited edition box set with light-up SMiLE Shop window on lid, autographed</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> The SMiLE Sessions limited edition box set with light-up SMiLE Shop window on lid, autographed, paired with a custom-made SMiLE surfboard by Hobie</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>The Beach Boys are embracing technology and crowdsourcing to produce the first official music videos for &#8220;Good Vibrations&#8221; and &#8220;Heroes And Villains&#8221; by partnering with Tongal, the leading creative social platform. In Tongal’s first-ever music video initiative, fans can now collaborate to create the official music videos, as the project begins today (August 30) on Tongal.com, and consists of two phases &#8211; a concept phase and a video phase. The concept phase calls for fans to conceptualize the music video for “Heroes and Villains” or “Good Vibrations” in 250 characters or less. In the video phase, Tongal users can select one of the five winning concepts from phase one and produce a music video based on it. The video can be animated or live-action, trippy or classic – it can be whatever the fans want, as long as it’s their own. Cash prizes and special items, including an autographed custom Hobie longboard, will be awarded to Tongal users for the top submissions.</strong></p>
<p>The SMiLE Sessions box set will include details about Operation Smile, an international medical charity organization with a presence in more than 60 countries dedicated to healing children&#8217;s smiles. Since 1982, Operation Smile &#8211; through the help of generous supporters and medical volunteers &#8211; has provided free surgeries worldwide for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lips and cleft palates. Every three minutes, a child somewhere in the world is born with a cleft. For more information on how to be involved or donate to Operation Smile, please visit www.operationsmile.org or call 1-888-OPSMILE (888-677-6453).</p>
<p>When Capitol/EMI and The Beach Boys first announced plans for The SMiLE Sessions’ 2011 release, the news spread rapidly. Pitchfork reported, “The Beach Boys’ SMiLE is quite possibly the most storied album in rock history,” Billboard proclaimed the upcoming release “an event that pop music fans have been waiting for since the Summer of Love,” and The Washington Post called SMiLE “the most legendary unreleased album of all time.”<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8KntylDaudk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The best efforts have been taken by The Beach Boys, the producers, and Capitol/EMI to present the SMiLE album sessions’ most vital and fascinating elements. However, there will no doubt be some debate amongst Beach Boys fans around the world who, during the past four decades, have become familiar with a variety of widely-traded bootlegged bits and pieces from the sessions. As recently explained by the Detroit Metro Times, “No album, released or not, has generated a more personal relationship with its audience, since no two people can ever agree on its content and purpose.”</p>
<p>Beginning with “Good Vibrations,” The Beach Boys’ best-selling record in a long string of hits, Brian Wilson had begun to construct songs in a modular form, crafting individual sections that would later be edited together to form a coherent whole. In several intense bursts of creative energy, Wilson, drawing on the talents of the finest studio musicians in Los Angeles and utilizing the best studio facilities available on any given day, laid down dozens of musical fragments, all designed to fit together in any number of possible combinations. No one had done this before in pop music, and his next endeavor would be an album-length version of this unique and luxurious songwriting parlance: SMiLE.</p>
<p><a href="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Brian+Wilson+and+Van+Dyke+Parks+446311.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1706" title="Brian+Wilson+and+Van+Dyke+Parks+446311" src="http://rickywood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Brian+Wilson+and+Van+Dyke+Parks+446311-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="211" /></a>In 1965, Brian Wilson met an up-and-coming session keyboard player and songwriter, Van Dyke Parks. Noticing Parks&#8217; conversational eloquence, Wilson felt that he could help to volley The Beach Boys’ songwriting into the wave of broader-messaged and socially-conscious rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll that would come to define the &#8217;60s. They were soon collaborating on keynote songs for SMiLE, including “Heroes And Villains,” the band’s follow-up single to “Good Vibrations.” Wilson and Parks would also co-write “Surf&#8217;s Up,” “Vega-Tables,” “Cabin Essence,” “Do You Like Worms,” “Wonderful,” “Wind Chimes,” and other pieces of the SMiLE tapestry. Parks also introduced Frank Holmes to create album sleeve art and a booklet interpreting the album’s James Joyce-mode lyrics.</p>
<p>The reason SMiLE did not see a release in 1967 had more to do with back room business that obscured the creative side of the program than anything else. In late 1966, The Beach Boys formed Brother Records, initially to produce outside artists. Soon, however, The Beach Boys would become embroiled in a court action with Capitol Records with the goal to become the top-selling artists on their self-owned, independent label. The group withheld “Heroes And Villains” and announced they would instead release “Vega-Tables” – recorded with the band’s own money in April of &#8217;67 – on Brother Records. By July of 1967, Capitol Records and The Beach Boys had come to terms, with Capitol agreeing to distribute the band’s Brother Records, and it was agreed that SMiLE was no longer to be the band’s next album.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI will celebrate the band’s 50th Anniversary in 2012. Plans for commemorative releases and other anniversary activities will be announced.</strong></em></p>
<p>“Surf&#8217;s up, aboard a tidal wave, come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave. I heard the word, wonderful thing&#8230; a children&#8217;s song&#8230;”<br />
- from “Surf&#8217;s Up” (Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong><a>youtube</a>You may look at this video and think wow – it was shot in the dinosaur ages.  Yes, it is a bit old and maybe a lot simpler than the abstract videos of today.</p>
<p>But one thing that still rings true is the message that <strong>if you just change your perspective for a few minutes, it can change everything. </strong> Watch the stunning scenery and maybe you’ll see that the really big <strong>‘problem’</strong> you thought you have, may in fact not be as big as you thought.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Just for the next few minutes allow yourself to think that maybe this huge ‘problem’ is in fact a<strong> &#8216;solution&#8217;</strong> or an answered prayer to something you’ve been asking for.</span></p>
<p><strong>Believe that everything will turn out the way you are wanting.</strong></p>
<p>Step outside of yourself for a moment and watch and listen to the words.  It may give you a new perspective.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A lot of us have the tendency to think that if we get upset enough, do more, fight harder or show the world our frustration, that the problem will back down.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">When in fact we are just drawing more frustration and like circumstances to us.</span></p>
<p>So today, give trying a different approach a chance.</p>
<p>Take a deep breath and tell yourself that although the situation you are dealing with seems like the worst thing that could happen, that somehow it will turn out in your favor.</p>
<p>The most important part is to then <a title="Believe" href="http://rickywood.net/blog/the-essential-ingredient-you-must-use-to-manifest-your-dreams/">BELIEVE</a> that.  Then go do something that makes you happy and you  may just be surprised.</p>
<p>I learned invaluable information from the CD series <em><strong>Your Wish Is Your Command</strong></em> taught by Kevin Tradeau that teaches these important points-</p>
<p>NO,  you can <strong>NOT put a time limit </strong>on it, you can <strong>Not figure out HOW the situation will resolve</strong>.  Just let go and believe.</p>
<p>The more you do this the more positive you will have coming into you life and more quickly.</p>
<p>So, believe, be happy and know you will receive.</p>
<p>Hold on,</p>
<p>Ricky Wood</p>
