By the time we leave here let it be said that God has visited His people again, thank you Almighty God. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Let somebody shout halleluiah!
When I became General Overseer in 1981, people began to call me Daddy, and I was very uncomfortable with that title, I was only thirty nine years old and in those days, the popular thing is to call ourselves brothers and sister; everybody is a bro or a sis. But when I wanted to complain, God spoke to me; he said a brothers can wish you well, it is only a father who can bless and then the blessing will stick.
Today I am seventy years old, I think am old enough to be called Daddy and the first thing I want to do tonight, is that I want to give a father's blessings to all those who call me daddy. So whether you are here or you are watching anywhere in the world; either by television, by internet or radio, if you regard me as your daddy, stand on your feet and let your amen be loud and clear.
My father and my God, the father of all fathers, thank you that at last, I can stand boldly as a father to all these your children and it is in your name that I am blessing them tonight. Every one of you who regard me as your daddy, you shall be blessed.
My God will take you higher than your dreams in Jesus name, because my God will fight for you, you will enjoy victory without a fight, because My God will promote you; you will enjoy success without a sweat.
Because my God is the controller of heaven and earth; I decree from this moment, all the powers in heaven, will come to your assistance.
The resources of the earth will flow into you, beginning from this moment; helpers will seek you out to help you. Because my father in heaven will build a shield over you; destroyers will never come near your home again, because my God is the great provider; your hands will never be empty again, as there is water in the ocean, your anointing will never run dry.
As long as morning follows the night; you will enjoy the mercies of the Almighty God. My Father in heaven the one who is the God that is more than enough, will from now on see to it that your joy will overflow.
Beginning from tonight, when you knock one door, seven will be open unto you. Any obstacles that the enemy may want to put in your way will become stepping stone to glory in Jesus name. Wherever you turn; you will find favor with God and favor with men and your children will be greater than you.
The Almighty God that I serve will answer all your prayers from now on. So shall it be in Jesus mighty name of Jesus I pray.
Daddy says because you bless them from the bottom of your heart, He said I have sealed it in.
Ten years ago, I called for people who will be my covenant partners; and several people volunteered. I said it would be for ten years, the ten years are over now and many of them had asked, what's happening, are we going to continue? I told them I will ask God.
When I asked God, He said there will be a new set and it will not be for ten years. He said "because those people were in covenant with you for ten years, I had no choice but to keep them alive for ten years". He said "You tied my hands".
And I remembered all the miracles that happened in the life of my partners, and I thank God for all the miracles, I thank God for all my partners and I say, thank you for the past ten years.
Now, the Lord says to me, the new set of partners will be for only three years. He said after three years, we can review. So, if you want to be one of my partners, your duties will be as follows:
1. You will pray for us every day, even if it's only one minute; very simple prayer 'Father, strengthen your son, don't let his anointing run dry, don't let him fail you, let him finish strong'. Four simple prayers: strengthen him, don't let his anointing run dry, don't let him fail you, and let him finish strong. That's assignment one for my partners even if it's only one minute a day, please, include us in your prayers.
2. You'll fast with us as we used to do. February, July and December. All you need to do is a day at a time but if you can fast day and night continuously then, fourteen days alone will be enough. So, you'll pray for us, you'll fast and then you'll support the work we are doing financially.
The new group, your support will be every month instead of every year and there will be ten groups. So, you'll be able to join at least, one of the ten.
1. GROUP ONE: N100 a month.
2. GROUP TWO: N500 a month.
3. GROUP THREE: N1,000 a month.
4. GROUP FOUR: N5,000 a month.
5. GROUP FIVE: N10,000 a month.
6. GROUP SIX: N50,000 a month.
7. GROUP SEVEN: N100,000 a month.
8. GROUP EIGHT: N500,000 a month.
9. GROUP NINE: N1,000,000 a month.
10. GROUP TEN: N200000,0000 and above a month.
If you want to do it in Dollars or Pounds, they will show you everything on the screen. So you pick whichever group you want to belong to.
My advice is, come in at whatever level is convenient for you now, I trust my God that as He begins to bless you, you'll keep on moving higher and there will be people who will enter in group two or three today before this time next year, they will already be in group ten.
So please, take some one minute, you'll write your name, your address, your phone number, and the group you want to belong to.
When you're sending the money, when you put it in an envelope, write at the back 'Covenant Partner'. Write it at the back of the envelope so we'll know into which account we will direct the money.
If you're writing a cheque, please write it in the name of The Redeemed Christian Church of God and then at the back, put 'Covenant Partner'. Don't write the cheque in my name.
Any cheque written in my name will be used for what? (Response from the congregation: pounded yam) ah! Thank you, it will go for pounded yam straight.
So, write your cheque in the name of The Redeemed Christian Church of God and then at the back of the cheque write 'Covenant Partner'.
My own duty is that I pray for my partners everyday; not once a month but everyday. And I promise you, my God who had been faithful to me all these years will be faithful to my partners also in Jesus' name.
He made a promise, He said all those who are lifting up my hands, He said as I rise, they will rise. So you will rise with me in Jesus' name. So, you'll write your name, your address, your phone number, the group you want to belong to and please drop it in the offering basket later on in the night.
Judges 15 v 11-16 Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."
So they said to him, "No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you." Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.
He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out and took it and killed a thousand men with it.
Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men."
What happens when the fire of God falls?
Number one; Yokes are destroyed. Isaiah 10 v 27 says the anointing destroys the yoke, when the fire of God fell on Samson, all the ropes binding him were burnt, they were not just cut but they were burnt. Because the fire that came down is the fire from the Almighty God and Hebrew 12 v 29 says our God is a consuming fire, so when the fire of God comes down, yokes seen and unseen are destroyed by the fire of God. And I am praying for someone here tonight, that whatever yokes may remain in your life, that which is not letting your life to prosper, that which have been hindering your legs from making progress they shall be consumed tonight in Jesus name.
The second thing that happens when the fire fall is that the one in whom the fire falls become empowered so that whatever his hands touches begins to prosper. Samson found the jawbone of an ass and the jaw bone of an ass suddenly became a weapon of war. Because when the fire of God falls, the one on whom it falls receive power. In Act 1 v 8 the Bible says we shall receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon us, in Act 3 v 1-8 after fire have poured upon Peter, he took a lame man by the man and because his hands has received power, he was able to transfer that power into the layman, and the layman now began to walk. I want you to stretch forth at this moment and say fire of God, fall on these hands so that from now on whatever I touch will begin to prosper.
The third thing that happens when the fire of God falls is that all external enemies are destroyed. Samson took the jawbone of an ass and suddenly all the enemies that didn't run, laid down dead. The bible says in Psalm 68 v 1- 2 it says when God arise, his enemies will be scattered. And I am prophesying to someone here tonight, by the time you returned home, you will find that all your enemies are gone.
The Lord says there is someone here He said that business that was closed down, will reopen.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight; he said that which your enemy has swallowed he will vomit it.
The Lord says many homes will soon be filled with the laughter of new children.
Deuteronomy 28 v 1 -7 says clearly that if you are obedient to God, you won't have to fight he said the enemy that comes against you in one way will flee before you in seven ways. In the name that is above every other name, from now on, all the enemies that stand up against you will be smitten by the Almighty God himself.
The fourth thing that happens when the fire of God falls is that the household enemies will be disappointed.
It was the relatives of Samson that bind him; they were those who handed him over to the external enemies. They were those who felt let us get rid of this trouble maker, they felt that Samson will never come back home, but God disappointed them. All the enemies in your father's house, all the enemies in your mother's house. All the enemies in your husband house, all the enemies in your wife house, after tonight they shall be disappointed. All those who though you will not reach your goals, all those who wanted to kill your dream like the brothers of Joseph, in the name the one who sent me, after you have reached your goal they will come and bow before you.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, who is down cast, he asks me to tell you, that your sun will rise again.
David said in Psalm 23 v 5 David said thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy, I assure every one of you listening to me tonight, whether the enemies like it or not, it shall be well with you.
The fifth thing that happens when the fire of God falls is that destiny will be restored.
When the relatives of Samson brought him bound to the enemy they thought his destiny was over, but then the Almighty God has a purpose for the life of Samson and God saw to it that the plan of the enemy to truncate the destiny of Samson was foiled. I have always said it nobody comes to this world without a reason. God sent you to this world for a purpose, when you were young you had some beautiful dreams, you had dreams of greatness but as time began to go, it looks as if those dreams will never be fulfilled, I have good news for you tonight, before the end of this year, you will have a testimony.
The Lord says there is someone here, he said your constant prayer has been; God bless Daddy G.O, the Lord asked me to tell you, I will bless you also.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said before the end of this month of March, he said you will sing "He has done it for me, what my family cannot do, he has done it for me".
The Lord says there is someone who has made up his mind that he will deal ruthlessly with The Redeemed Christian church of God. The Lord asked me to tell whoever that is, and he is not saying the fellow is here, he just sad someone, and if you know such a person please tell him. He said the fellow should choose the kind of death he wants to kill him, he said he can have one out of four; motor accident, sleep and not wake up, cancer or heart attack.
Please I beg you, If you are the one and you are here, stay put with God at the altar tonight, don't go home beg him until he will change his mind, when we finish stay put, you he knows all things. If it is your relatively, if you have ever heard someone says that, tell him what came out this night.
The sixth thing that happens when the fire fall is that when the fire falls on you, suddenly you begin to have the last laugh.
The Philistine were rejoicing; we got our enemy, he is even bound, this fellow is finished but not long after that, Samson was the one saying with the jaw bone of an ass, I have wiped out my enemies.
I prophesy to someone here today, in the name that is above every other name, you will laugh last.
In Daniel 6 v 1 -24 the enemies saw the way Daniel was rising so they plotted against him to put an end to him permanently they threw him into the den of lions , rolled a big stone, they thought this fellow is finished. I am sure they must have gone home that night rejoicing, but by the following morning, Daniel came out alive, the king sent for the enemies and asks them to go into the den themselves. I assure you, by the time the sun rises this day; it will be your turn to laugh at your enemies.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight who has been asking, when will God answer my prayers? He asked me to tell you, tonight!
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, he said take a proper record of where you are now, he said because I am about to take you far.
In Exodus 12 v 31- 36 when the fire of God fell in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh sent for Moses in hurry, the one who had said "who is your God, I don't know him and I am not going to let you go", now said, go quickly, go and worship your God and bless me also. I can see Moses saying, I thought saying you don't know my God and you are now asking my God to bless you. All those who have been asking where is your God? you will laugh last over them.
When the fire of God falls, a child of God will begin to sing a new song.
Humanly speaking, f Samson has a song before the fire fell, it will be it looks as if the end has come, but after the fire has fell, he began to sing a new song. Every one of you here tonight, in the mighty name of Jesus, you will begin to sing a new song. Psalm 40 v 1-3 he said when I cried to the Almighty God, he brought me out of the miry clay and he put a new song in my mouth. The bible says in 126 v 1-3 he said when the Lord turned the captivity of Zion, he said we were like them that dream, then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing. In the name that is above every other name, from this moment forward, you will be laughing for joy; you will be singing a new song.
The Lord said there is someone one here tonight, impossible as it may appear to you, he said one day when you arrived anywhere, everybody will stand up for you.
I think God reserve the best for the last for me!
The Lord says there is someone here tonight; he said your own golden age begins now.
Daddy says, it is usually said flowers fade, stories end, he said but there is someone here tonight, your testimony will never end.
That is the crown of it that means those who are thinking that maybe one day I will grow less, they are wasting their time.
1 Samuel 2 v 1 -10 when the Lord answered Hannah, she sang a new song, those of you who have been saying this barren woman is going to die barren, now come and see. You know when I was listening to the first testimony tonight of the woman who have been barren for seventeen children and God gave her four children at a go and I know, that I have asked God for seventy thousand children. I know that testimony is going to be multiplied among my people.
Let me move out of the way so that the Holy Spirit can do what he wants to do.
When the fire falls, what it does depends on whom it falls. When the fire falls it either turns what it fell upon to fire or turn it to ashes. You put a piece of wood in fire; the good part of the wood, will also become fire, the bad part of the wood will become ashes. When the fire of God falls, if you are not a child of God ,if you are not on the side of God, if you are leaving a life of sin, it is a dangerous thing to ask the fire of God to fall. Because if it falls on you and you are not one of his children, it will only destroy you.
Let God arise and his enemies be scattered and Jesus Christ says those who are not for me are against me, if you are not born again, if all your sins have not been watch away by the blood of the lamb and you say let the fire fall, how are you going to handle it? Tonight, we are going to pray in a moment, we are going to call on the fire of God to fall, it is already falling but it is about to fall down even heavier.
If you are not born again, you better run forward now, come and give your life to Jesus, let the blood of Jesus watch away your sins and then when the fires comes, it will provide you with mighty miracles.
If you want to give your life to Jesus begin to come now… And as you are coming begin to call on God, ask him to save your soul, ask God to be merciful unto you, ask him to forgive you all your sin, promise him that you will serve him from now on… the rest of us, let pray for them, and intercede that the Almighty God who save your soul will save their souls also…. in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Savior we bless your name, thank you for this your children and before this evening you have not allowed them to perish. Now they have come to you, please receive them in Jesus name, forgive them in Jesus name, let your blood cleanse them from all their sins in Jesus name.
Save their souls tonight and write their names in the book of life in Jesus name. When the fire falls tonight, let it bring them miracles in Jesus name. And I pray that they will never go back into to the world in Jesus name, thank you Almighty God, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen.
Those of you, who have come to give your life to Jesus tonight, let me hear you shout halleluiah! I am rejoicing with you because from now on by the special grace of God I will be praying for you. So I am going to need your name, your address and your prayer, the counselor will give you a card, please fill the card at http://www.rccghome.org/new-convert-online-form-2.html.
PRAYER POINTS: 1. Praise God that you are still alive today; since the enemy has not been able to kill you till this moment, the enemies has lost the battle. Praise the Almighty God for sparing your life. 2. Lift your voice to God and say father, let your fire fall and destroy all my yokes. 3.

Summary: Border Collies, Puggles and Beagles are used extensively in the detection of New Jersey bed bugs. They are a much better alternative to traditional methods of bug detection and have a success rate of 96%.
If you are reading this article, you are perhaps terrified, have not slept for weeks, you freak out often and dont know what to do with the New Jersey bed bugs. At first you were not sure what gave those scratches once you were relaxing on your couch but soon you found out. Bites must have been the first sign. Else, you probably developed welts and hives. How was your first meeting with the New Jersey bed bugs family? Werent the eggs the size of a pencil point, the tiny babies, semi transparent and like poppy seeds, and the adults as big as apple seeds and rusty in color?
You have tried sprays, DDTs and what not. However, they keep coming back. Therefore, it is time you change the war strategy a bit. How about bedbug sniffing dogs? Surely they are endearing as well as astonishingly accurate in detecting the hide and seek experts the New Jersey bed bugs. Entomology researchers of University of Florida have reported that a well-trained bedbug sniffing dog can detect a single bug or egg with an amazing 96% accuracy. They are the new canine weapons available to mankind. Not all dogs can sniff out New Jersey bed bugs. The dogs do need special training before they can go bug hunting.
Breeds that can be trained for this peculiar exercise of hunting New Jersey bed bugs are Puggles, Beagles and Border Collies. Beagles have one of the best developed senses of smell. Beagles are better at ground-scenting (following a trail on the ground) than they are at air-scenting. The long ears and large lips of the Beagle probably assist in trapping the scents close to the nose. Border Collies have immensely developed sense of smell. Their high drives make them outstanding and easily motivated tracking dogs. Border Collies need to be trained and they have to be given considerable physical exercise daily. They also need a lot of mental stimulation. These New Jersey bed bugs crushers are one of the most intelligent breeds. They are extremely acrobatic, energetic and perfect bed bugs finder.
Puggles are crossbreeds of Beagles and Pugs. They are also quite adept in sniffing out those New Jersey bed bugs. In fact, a deadly combination is that of a Beagle and a Puggle. If trained properly, they can literally clean up your house of bugs within a few minutes. Bed bug detection dogs are a scientifically proven and extremely feasible substitute to traditional methods of pest detection.

From Time Magazine this week, Joe Klein: The Perils of the Permanent Campaign,
Last week there was more of the same, according to a prominent Republican, who told me that the White House had sent out talking points about how to attack Brent Scowcroft after Bush the Elder's National Security Adviser went public with his opposition to the war in the New Yorker magazine. "I was so disgusted that I deleted the damn e-mail before I read it," the Republican said. "But that's all this White House has now: the politics of personal destruction."
On the nomination of Alitio to the Supreme Court, People For the American Way President Ralph Neas,
He has chosen to divide Americans with a nominee guaranteed to cause a bitter fight.
"Rovism": Destroy people, and set people against each other for political gain. Karl Rove is still in the White House, and Rovism continues.

I happened to be at the bar at the Grey Goose/Soho House party when I saw them see each other and talk just 3 feet away from me. Please. Vodka has great timing.
Alexander Skarsgard and Evan Rachel Wood had a thing going when he started shooting Straw Dogs with Kate Bosworth. Then he wasted his time with Kate Bosworth while ERW went back to Manson. She's now back together with Jamie Bell. They were in Paris last week looking like they were having a lot of fun.
Alex approached Evan. It was a total "catch up". And you know what it felt like? It felt like he was an older big brother or cousin type who cared about a little sister, and she was the little sister type who used to have a crush on her big brother type - ew, you know what I mean - and has outgrown it but is embarrassed to be reminded of it but still wants to show what an adult she is now. The look on his face when he was speaking to her, a look of genuine interest, platonic affection and concern, was the most attractive I have found him in a long, long time. That was the face of a nice guy.
Evan meanwhile, well, she's in a hat and suit phase. It was 2 nights in a row. And she still had that hat on when she left the next day at the airport. A beautiful, beautiful girl. And a 24 year old girl. That was the worry, remember? With Manson? That she was behaving like a 35 year old barely out of her teens? This Evan is YOUNG. She's flighty, she's excitable. She puts her feet up on tables. She's spunky. And she's nice.
I talked to her on Friday night at The Ides of March cocktail, also at Grey Goose/Soho House. We were standing really close to each other and made eye contact so I just opened with asking her about her singing in Venice last week after the gala premiere. The video is below. Then we talked about her tooth. Which she then proceeded to pull out of her pocket. It was a small jewellery box with a plastic cover. So you know when you buy a $40 ring from one of those booths at the mall? One of those boxes. Which I found rather endearing. She planned her red carpet "bit". She spent the whole night on the carpet showing people. Like she's wanted to have a story to tell and a prop to go with it. Was cute.
I like her a lot. She is really, really sweet. She seems like she's in a good place. Like she's figured it out. But not too seriously. I want good things for her. I want her to be good.

The regime actively sows instability abroad and suppresses the rights and freedoms that its people desire and deserve. For these reasons, it is essential that Iran's development of a nuclear weapon be stopped dead in its tracks.
This requires a halt to all nuclear development, not just the limited, short-term suspension that has been put in place during the talks. Iran must also provide unfettered access to all sites that are engaged in nuclear development.
However, the nuclear talks, and the prospects for a comprehensive U.S. policy towards Iran, are headed for failure due to the Obama administration's strategic miscalculations.
An illustrative, but little-publicized aspect of Obama's misguided policy is his approach toward the Iranian dissident group, Mujahedin-Khalq (MEK).
The MEK is the most organized Iranian opposition movement and the one the ayatollahs most fear.
The MEK and its allies in the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), led by the charismatic Maryam Rajavi, offer a different vision for Iran which we should embrace: secular, democratic and non-nuclear.
Multiple reports suggest that the MEK has provided intelligence to the international community on Iran's nuclear program. It is true that decades ago, the MEK was implicated in some violent activity, but they are and always have been an enemy of a theocratic Iranian state.
And the MEK renounced violence more than thirteen years ago and laid down its weapons.
They did so partially in reliance on a promise from the United States to protect them from attack by the mullahs and their henchmen.
Currently, some 3,000 MEK members are confined to a prison in Iraq euphemistically called "Camp Liberty." Unconscionably, we have breached our obligation to protect them, and consequently, they are sitting ducks for the mullahs.
The dissidents, at the behest of Tehran, have been attacked by Nouri al-Maliki's forces on seven occasions since 2009. At least 116 residents have been killed, over 1300 have been injured, and seven, including six women, have been taken hostage.
The US government entered into a legal obligation to protect each of these people; it also has the moral obligation to do so. It has utterly failed in these duties and proximately caused the death of these allies of freedom. Our government must immediately airlift all the MEK dissidents out of Iraq.
Maybe the Iranian government believes that by positioning its latest figurehead, Hassan Rouhani, as a "moderate" it will convince the United States and its allies to look away from the slaughter of MEK dissidents and disregard Iran's support of the massacre in Syria as well as its egregious human rights abuses at home.
I fear their assessment may be right. Our government has too often been willing to make dangerous concessions in order to reach a deal with Iran. This is not only naïve, but it is a strategic mistake and an abandonment of our humanitarian obligation towards those people we promised to protect.
It is clear that Rouhani is no moderate. He has been an active part of the theocracy for a long time. He was Iran's nuclear negotiator with the EU from 2003 to 2005 and later bragged about duping the West in the negotiations.
Even a U.N. human rights body announced recently that its hope of a moderate Rouhani regime had been dashed by the dramatic rise in executions in Iran. The shipment of missiles to Hamas, thankfully intercepted by Israel, and Iran's continued support for the murder of innocent Syrians, are further proof that "change" under Rouhani is a mirage.
As long as the present Iranian government is in power, Iran must remain outside the community of nations. America and its allies must do everything possible to deter the mullahs' ambitions to develop a nuclear bomb and impose its hegemony in the region.
The people of Iran deserve a better government, one that adheres to human rights, democracy and decency at home and abroad and that is capable of bringing about real change.
Joining forces with the MEK and all other democracy-starved Iranians would be the best place to start.

New Collection: American Tree Farm System Records
Gifford Pinchot famously wrote in Breaking New Ground, "Forestry is Tree Farming. Forestry is handling trees so that one crop follows another. To grow trees as a crop is Forestry."
While next June marks the official 70th anniversary of the first certified tree farm, the concept of renewable forestry can be traced back to the turn of the last century. The rise of the tree farm movement in America marked a shift in perspective towards privately owned forest land as a sustainable resource worthy of long-term conservation and management. Private landowners became important figures, working on behalf of the public's interest as the stewards of this valuable resource.
The Forest History Society Library and Archives recently received 24 cartons of archival documents from the American Tree Farm System (ATFS). Currently being processed, the collection includes historical material such as essays from the 1940s and 1950s attempting to define the burgeoning movement, inspection and certification records of some of the first tree farms, and early press clippings. The majority of the collection's documents cover the organization's activities from 1980 to 2005, and include publications such as Tree Farmer Magazine and Green America, records of various awards for outstanding forestry such as the Tree Farmer of the Year and Inspector of the Year, minutes and related materials from annual conventions and committees, records from educational initiatives such as Project Learning Tree, and materials from dedications such as the certification of President Jimmy Carter's tree farm. The collection also includes numerous photos and slides of ATFS events and activities, as well as films of educational programming, and public service announcements by famous tree farmers such as actress Andie MacDowell, musician Chuck Leavell, President Carter, and the incomparable Andy Griffith.
The Clemons Tree Farm, a 120,000-acre plot in Washington State publicly dedicated by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company on June 12, 1941, is recognized as the first official tree farm. The tree farm movement originated as an initiative of industrial firms such as Weyerhaeuser managing large tracts of forestland to demonstrate self-regulation and sustainability. Over the years the ATFS has grown to include smaller private landowners, with the system currently estimated at 24 million acres of certified forestland managed by over 90,000 tree farmers.
One of the videos included in the collection is a 4-minute public service announcement, produced by the Weyerhaeuser Company in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Clemons Tree Farm, that gives a general overview of the history and mission of the American Tree Farm System:
Pictured below are a few other items of interest from the collection:
For more information about the history of the American Tree Farm System you can view an article by Richard Lewis entitled "Tree Farming: A Voluntary Conservation Program," from the July 1981 issue of the Journal of Forest History.

The main problem of not being unemployed is having work. This means the hours between 11 and six are traditionally reserved for recuperation and rest. As previous experience has proven, sleeping for hours at a time in the staff toilets is frowned upon.
So, the cricketing world once again asks me that familiar question: How recklessly irresponsible are you?
Just as the first test match of the Ashes teeters on the edge of mythology, with the possibility of ludicrous victories either side securing legendary status, my already questionable work-ethic is tested to the limit.
AYALAC has prepared some sure-fire methods to watch the game, whilst preserving the aura of professionalism in the office.
1) New project. Developing an entrepreneurial new product that will add value to your workplace will show that you are dedicated and inventive and generally amazing. Working on this has kept you up all night. What a champion. No one will question the quiet abandonment in few weeks as the Great Plan goes that way of all new ideas: The bin.
2) Emergency plumbing. For those accustomed to the rich vein of fantasy that are the "WFH" emails, working from home is a perfect time to catch up on needed sleep. Escaping to your "work-bunker" will also raise a convenient excuse to your total unresponsiveness to emails or calls.
3) Bravely soldier on. The announcement of disease instantly provides sympathy and distance from your fellow man. The bleary eyes and clumsy decision-making can plausibly be as a result of a massive virus attack. Once the ruse is established, frequent emergency trips to the toilet for micro-sleeps may get you through the day, as well as winning more credit.
4) Form a sleep co-operative. The key to skiving off work is thorough and meticulous planning. Identify all those sympathetic to your course in advance to the match. Prior to the night-long vigil, book an all-day mega-meeting with cricketing colleagues. Take your bedding into the meeting room first thing in the morning, lock yourselves in and sleep like demons.
5) Coming clean. Remind your boss of his or her obvious insignificance to cricket, laugh at their thoughtlessness at scheduling work during an Ashes series and slap yourselves on the back before heading homeward to bed. The long-term advantage of this strategy is its possibility of relieving you of any further work-related inconveniences in the future.
AYALAC is personally considering a combination of numbers (1) and (3). Infected dedication should throw them off the scent long enough.

We pick up on tonight's episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta from last week, with Tiarra and Tommie meeting up. Basically, Scrap DeLeon is getting out of prison soon and Tiarra wants him to move in with her so they can be a family again (aka he's gassing her up while he's down). She just wants to make sure that Tommie doesn't still have feelings for Scrap too and that Scrap hasn't been playing games. Tommie is good on that and plans to move on.
Jessica Dime is pregnant, as we know, but she needs a support system. She doesn't have friends in Atlanta like that, aside from Karlie Redd. Her man is away for work and she's not on good terms with her mom, but she says she's going to work on the support she needs because she doesn't want go through this journey alone. The good news is, the baby is healthy.
Stevie has a mixer where he informs his friends that he might have to go to jail for four months over his child support drama from 1998. The two children (of six) in question are grown, but their mother is not letting go of that child support (he owes millions of dollars). Those two children are devastated by the thought of Stevie going to jail and Mimi is devastated knowing that Eva is going to be crushed if he goes to jail. His court case is coming up in New York. Stevie also tells Mimi that he wants her to handle his business affairs, particularly with Danger Zone artists. That means Estelita and possibly Just Brittany. Here's the thing with Just Brittany: If you recall, Stevie is interested in managing her but she's signed to Rick Ross' label, MMG. Stevie produced a record for Just Brittany and that's it for now. Brittany didn't sign a management contract and reminds him of this because she's not quite comfortable with how he does business. He has the nerve to threaten her (because he's trash) and say that he'll give their song away if she doesn't sign. However, Brittany wrote the song, so…
Instead of paying him dust, Brittany's compromise is to have Keely, a new entry to the show who has worked in the music industry for years (doing artist development), come on board Danger Zone as her management. That seems to be cool with Stevie for now, but hopefully, Brittany holds off on signing any contracts with him.
Speaking of Stevie's mess, let's fast forward to the end of the episode.
Mimi sits down with Erica and Estelita to inform them that Stevie wants her to take over his affairs if he goes to jail. Erica isn't even an official Danger Zone artist but she's been playing this Keeper of Estelita role lately and entertaining Stevie's request to join the label.
Mimi also mentions that Just Brittany may be part of those affairs and Erica and Estelita are not here for that. They do not like her because they're cliche. Anyway, Just Brittany and Keely walk into this pow wow on cue and Erica attempts to be fake diplomatic, but Brittany calls her out on the verbal tirade from last week. Erica doesn't like being called out, like most delusional people, so she gets rowdy rah rah and tries to fight instead, because apparently, Brittany "poked the beast out of hibernation."
Then things get really lame when security drags Erica out and she informs them that she's not scared of them and that the only reason they have jobs is because of her. This is ironic because she has a job because of Mona Scott Young.
Remember her last New York reunion appearance when she said she was moving on from the franchise because she was too good for everyone? Yet here she is back on the show. Mmmkay.

Lost in Time
The Fourth Dimension
Twelve slim spiraling concrete steps symbolize the fourth dimension: time. Inspired by architecture, these modern timepieces are a captivating example of the capabilities of concrete.
Over the years, 22STUDIO has perfected its specialized, high-performance concrete mixtures and production techniques. After countless hours, they have developed the skills to challenge design boundaries and bring unimaginable ideas to life.
This is when the intricate concrete spiral staircase dial comes to life. After the dial is taken out of its mold, it rests in the curing room for 14 days in order to reach its maximum strength and develop its unique concrete pattern.
Once the dial reaches the hands of a Taiwanese master watchmaker, he fuses it with a Swiss Automatic movement and alluring three-dimensional watch hands. This process mimics our everyday lives—precious yet difficult moments to create something uniquely authentic.

Jonathan Bowden's KratosJohn Michael McCloughlin
Jonathan Bowden
Kratos and Other Works
London: The Spinning Top Club, 2008
The book Kratos was published by the Spinning Top Club in very early 2008. It extends over 157 pages. It consists of four independent stories of around the same length.
The first ("Kratos") deals with a Lombrosian tale about criminality and psychopathia. It delineates a Yorkshire axe-man called Billy-O or Dung Beetle whose intentions are fundamentally misread by an upper-class fop, Basildon Lancaster.
One might characterize it as an exercise in Degeneration theory from the late nineteenth century brought up to date — hence its debt to Cesare Lombroso's Criminal Man from 1876, I believe. A highly filmic coloration befits this piece — almost in a lucid or paranormal light and this lends it a dream-like or magical intention. Bowden's pieces tend to be extremely visual, oneiric, outsider drawn or filmic in compass — he is definitely what could be called a Visualiser. There also, to this particular critic, seems to be a correlation between all of these fictions and the comics or graphic novels that he produced as a child. All of them have a violent, immediate and aleatory dimension, to be sure, yet I infer something more.
What I mean is that just like a film which is planned on a story-board, for example, these literary tales move simultaneously on many levels and with a visual candor. It is almost as if Mister Bowden split his creative sensibility in moving from boy to man: the verbal bubbles or lettering (as they are called) in the graphic novels split off to become fictions; while the images morphed into fine art-works. They became stand alone paintings in their own right.
Kratos deals with insanity but on distinct levels, some of which fast forward and back — while parallel dimensions, parts of the mind, stray visual eddies or prisms, and telescoped refractions all recur. This filmic quality proceeds throughout the piece akin to Hitchcock or Blatty, but a strong narrative impulse bestrides this magic realism. It lends the excoriation at the tale's end something akin to the reverberation of Greek tragedy.
From a Right-wing or elitist perspective, I think that Bowden's fictional trajectory works in the following manner. From the very beginning there is an exoteric dimension (much like the political trappings of a reasonably notorious political movement from early in the twentieth century). This deals with the artistry, story, structure, prism effect in terms of H. T. Flint's Physical Optics, as well as the narratives dealt with above.
But, in my view, there is another hidden, buried, esoteric, occultistic, and numinous aspect. It is slightly and from a liberal perspective rather scandalously linked to a thesis in the book Nietzsche, Prophet of Nazism by a Lebanese and Maronite intellectual; together with the Occultistic text The Morning of the Magicians. This inner urge or poetic trope is an attempt to create the Superman via a manipulation of consciousness.
Most Western cultural standards, menhirs, sacred stones, or objects on the ground have been devastated or destroyed — even though the odd echo can be heard. (This might be said to be a small Classics department at a provincial university, for instance.) Nonetheless, Bowden preaches re-integration — beginning within oneself — and ending up with the maximalization of strength. One should remember or factor in that almost every other literary tendency is contrary or reverse-wise. Characters are chaotic, broken, stunted, uncertain, apolitical, non-religious, without any metaphysic whatsoever, chronically afraid, sexually and emotionally neurotic, tremulous about death, et cetera . . . While Bowden's Oeuvre intimates the re-ordination of the Colossus — both gradually and over time.
Hence we begin to perceive a glacial imprimatur in his work; in that characterization is non-Dual, beyond good and evil, semi-Gnostic, Power oriented in the manner of Thrasymachus, "demented," furious, even non-Christian. It ennobles the prospect of Odin without the overlay of Marvel Comics and as a Trickster God . . . i.e., it's the moral equivalent of Batman's Joker as reviewed, via The Dark-Knight, elsewhere on this site. It also ramifies with the words of the anti-humanist intellectual, Bill Hopkins, who, in a cultural magazine close to the polymath Colin Wilson known as Abraxas, once remarked: "The purpose of literature is to create New Titans."
One other cultural idea suffices here . . . this has to do with Joseph Goebbels' answer to a question about his interpretation of the Divine. This should be seen as part of the frontispiece of his expressionist novel Michael, a third positionist work from the 'twenties. He described "God" as a multi-proportioned or eight-limbed idol, replete with heavy jambs and rubiate eyes, and possibly constructed from orange sandstone. Such an effigy was associated with the following: flaming tapers or torches, brands, naked female dancers, and human sacrifice. To which the Herr Doktor's interlocutor remarked: "It doesn't sound very Christian to me!" The propaganda minister's response came back as quick as a shot: "You're mistaken; THAT IS CHRIST!"
I think that Jonathan Bowden believes much the same about the meta-ethic of his own literary output. The other stories in this volume were "Origami Bluebeard" (a marriage, a murder, a threnody, a Ragman, a take on Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus); "Grimaldi's Leo" (a lighter variant on Animal Liberation), and "Napalm Blonde." This was an attempt at Greek Tragedy, configures a Tiresius who maybe alone but not in a wasteland, and happens to be radically heterosexualist after Anthony Ludovici's analysis.
For those who have ears to hear — let them hear.

I'll always be nostalgic for the luminous light in this little room in Paris.A fragrance like my grandmother's Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass bath salts reminds me of...
staying over at her appartment, high over Fairmount park.
How can I forget looking out the window and seeing horseback riders below. In my memory, always a couple...always a prince and princess. I don't remember a thing about this moment. I do remember my mother taking us on picnics the same place she used to go horseback riding as a girl.
Can you be nostalgic for someone else's memories?

The Laduree green is so fragile and yet so beautiful.Yes, the colour can create nostalgia I think. For me nostalgia is a feeling quite close to longing. There is something I long for, something which has already happened, may be a childhood memory, something you smell, a tune whistled.ReplyDelete
Your post truly sat me in a nostalgia light green mood. (a good thing may be - I am planning a leek soup, with leeks from the garden, for dinner)
And you say you are not a poet. We are but moments. One linked to another. Perhaps it is a desire for grace you are feeling, an appreciation for all fine things where it shows up. The remembrance of those who wear it so well. There is another fine moment waiting for you today. Fall does this to us I think. The change in light, the shift in the breeze. And roses go inward to build toward the spring.ReplyDelete
Hi Carol- haven't been in here a while. Crazy summer!ReplyDelete
I love this rose/macaroon watercolor- is it recent? Gorgeous!
Like yourself, I am sucker for nostalgia....today is fully experienced with the passage of time. My husband bought me perfume my mom used to wear....every once in a while I sniff it....for nostalgia's sake. A dash of nostalgia and memories makes life so much richer.....have a great day.
I've nominated you for a Nice Matters Award!ReplyDelete
I am nostalgia over spring/summer.. Where did it go??? Once again you have left us with something to ponder over till Monday. I loved what Janice c said..ReplyDelete
I read in a book once that there are two kinds of people, those who are always looking towards the future and those who are always looking towards the past.ReplyDelete
I love playing old music and leafing through my old books and drifting off into nostalgic reveries.
Especially when one's lived as fascinating a life as you Carol, it must be lovely to reminisce.
P.S. I have been loving the comments you make on Flickr - they make me laugh!
P.P.S. My little sister is in Paris on her honeymoon - I'm jealous!
oh absolutely you can become enraptured by anothers memories...i love to listen to others rememberances...it is especially blissful to hear tales of youth of my elder family members...although i am quickly become one of them...blessings, rebeccaReplyDelete

I wanted to tell you that I looooove Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass and I always have a bottle of it on my dresser. I've worn it for at LEAST 30 years.ReplyDelete
Also, I really like your blog and am thankful I can
get it daily. You do beautiful work and your memories of your parents are lovely.

Thinking further about nostalgia, I picked up a book this morning and read the following:ReplyDelete
"As has always been said, clarity comes with the giving up of self. But what this means is that we cease to attribute selfhood to these echoes and mirror images. Otherwise we stand in a hall of mirrors, dancing hesitantly and irresolutely because we are making the images take the lead. We move in circles because we are following what we have already done. We have lost touch with our original identity, which is not the system of images but the great self-moving gesture of this as yet unremembered moment. The gift of remembering and binding time creates the illusion that the past stands to the present as agent to act, mover to moved. Living thus from the past, with echoes taking the lead, we are not truly here, and are always a little late for the feast. Yet could anything be more obvious than that the past follows from the present like the wake of a ship, and that if we are to be alive at all, here is the place to be?

I'm not faulting us for our nostalgia, but instead, hoping to point to a "now living" through this sharing. At present, I need constant reminders because I have lost the childlike wonder of living in the present. I think your wonderful photos and observations of the delightful things you've seen are so beautiful because at those moments when you witnessed them you were totally present to them!ReplyDelete
I so enjoy looking at what you have seen! And hearing where you've been!
YES YES AND YES!ReplyDelete
Missn ya
How on earth could there ever be a statute of limitations on memories dearest Carol?ReplyDelete
By hearing of stories about my great grandmother, grandfather and my grandmother their memories have now become mine and will become the memories of my nieces and nephews.
That's the great thing about memories. :-) They never really die.
yum, macarons and roses lovely combination and what a nice remembrance of your mother.ReplyDelete
How very lovely and beautiful is all that you share.ReplyDelete
Yes many flowers are sentimental to me especially since my beloved Mother died..........
Beautiful CarolReplyDelete
Blue Grass! You have brought me back through the years to a special time. I love that fresh scent.
Scents are such potent and direct line to nostalgia and emotion
Yes, I think you can be nostalgic for someone else's memories. But we need to find a good word for it.ReplyDelete
These photos and the watercolor are all beautiful but I particularly love the "Ladurée green" photo. That is amazing.
This is such a beautiful post, it left me speechless when I looked at it for the first time yesterday.ReplyDelete
I think of a healthy dose of nostalgia as a positive affirmation of moments well lived. Life would be almost pointless otherwise.

What a sweet photo of you and your Mom. I have been looking at photographs with my Mom today and feeling nostalgic too!ReplyDelete
The things that make me feel particularly nostalgic are seeing games, curios, toys, clothing, from when I was little at flee markets.
Yes. Listening to others memories is always a special invitation.. a bit like opening an old suitcase that has been hidden and sharing it with the other.ReplyDelete
Yes, I'm nostalgic for the light in that room too, and I've never been there! Thanks for your memories!ReplyDelete
Nostalgia is the memory of the heart.ReplyDelete
Some smells, photos, memories and songs... make me feel nostalgic at times.
Your photo of the green Ladurée macarons is so evocative, so enticing... so fresh yet fragile. You know, I've never had a Ladurée maracon. Next time I'm in Paris, it will be first on my heart agenda!

And nostalgia leads to memories which lead to stories or paintings...and this way we share what we remember so that they can belong to others as well.ReplyDelete
Now I'll always have tucked away in my recollections of macarons, which are already delicious memories, beautiful green ones...thank you for that gift.
Meilleurs voeux!!
Such delicate & beautiful colours ... I wonder if nostalgia = longing + love + good memories (with the bad bits edited out) .ReplyDelete
Beautiful painting too

Recently I had the pleasure to hang out with fellow gluten free food bloggers and what a time we had. We spent a lot of the time eating of course and then taking pictures of the food. We were in an amazing setting in the woods that was so peaceful except for our giggling fits.
One of the meals we shared was a Dairy Free Cheese Fondue. We dipped gluten free bagette, broccoli and cauliflower florets into the creamy fondue. We also had a side of Sweet Italian Sausage that we could dip into the cheese on our plate so we could keep the fondue pot vegetarian for our vegetarian guests.
This is not the first time I've made this fondue recipe. My youngest son requested it for his birthday and after I made it the first time I was totally hooked. I know if you give this a try you will be too. This recipe is not mine but one from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes. I choose the Chedda Fondue from the selection of fondue recipes. Yes there are quite a few in there like Pizza, Swiss, Smoky, Classic, Pub, and South-of-the-Border Fondue.
Not only are there fondue recipes but all of your favorite cheese recipes that are all non-dairy. Each recipe is noted if it is vegan, gluten free, soy free, and more. If you are living dairy free and miss that cheesy gooeyness, check out this book.
We made a single batch and I don't think we had any leftovers. When I made it for my son and two friends we did have some leftovers because he also had a broth fondue and a chocolate fondue to fill them up. I took the chedda leftovers and mixed it into cooked pasta to make Mac & Cheese. Yum!
If you're like me and there are certain cookbooks you really like to travel with but you don't want to carry all your cookbooks, put them on your Kindle or iPad. You can get The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook for your Kindle and be reading it right now.
For a more visual representation of this amazing fondue check out this short video.
Dairy Free Chedda Fondue Gluten Free Recipe
2 3/4 cups water or plain nondairy milk (I used unsweetened Almond Milk)
1 cup roasted red peppers (skin and seeds removed), or pimento pieces (I used a jar of organic roasted peppers)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup raw cashews, or 1/3 cup cashew butter (I used the raw cashews)
1/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats, or 1/4 cup flour (any kind, your choice) (I used sorghum flour)
1/4 cup kuzu, arrowroot, or cornstarch ( I used arrowroot)
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoon sesame tahini
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
1/4 teaspoon each paprika and grated nutmeg
Place all the ingredient in a blender and process several minutes until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, and continue to stir and cook a few minutes longer until thick and smooth. Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm over a very low flame.
Makes 4 cups (about 7-8 servings)
This opulent fondue is fabulous with button mushrooms, cauliflower chunks, bell pepper squares and cutes of sesame or her-seasoned whole-grain bread (gluten free for me!)

Now I want to hear from you! Let me know if you've tried this and what you think. Also, what would you do with the leftovers, if you have any?Print This Recipe

Press Releases
Washington—U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement after the Senate voted 40-60 against her amendment to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines:
"I'm disappointed by today's vote, but I always knew this was an uphill battle. I believe the American people are far ahead of their elected officials on this issue, and I will continue to fight for a renewed ban on assault weapons.
"The very fact that we're debating gun violence on the Senate floor is a step in the right direction, and I hope my colleagues vote their conscience and approve the underlying bill. But I'm certain that in the coming months and years, we will be forced to confront other incidents like Newtown, where innocents are murdered with one of these weapons of war.
"I will carry on this fight against military-style assault weapons, and I ask of the American people that they continue to pressure their elected officials to take action. It's long overdue that we take serious steps to remove these dangerous firearms and high-capacity ammunition magazines from society."
The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 prohibits the future sale, manufacture, possession and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons as well as any semiautomatic firearm that can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and has one or more military characteristics. It exempts weapons that are legally-owned at the time of enactment and excludes 2,258 hunting and sporting weapons by make and model.
The bill also bans large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to stop and reload.
For more information on the bill, visit feinstein.senate.gov/assaultweapons.

Verint Placed in "Leaders" Quadrant of 2012 Magic Quadrant for Contact Center Workforce Optimization
Verint Placed in "Leaders" Quadrant of 2012Magic Quadrant for Contact Center Workforce Optimization
Leadership Position Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Verint® Systems Inc. (NAS: VRNT) today announced that it has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of the newly published "Magic Quadrant for Contact Center Workforce Optimization" report from research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc. Verint's standing in the firm's November 7, 2012 report is based on the company's completeness of vision and ability to execute.1
On an annual basis, Gartner evaluates the contact center workforce optimization (WFO) technology landscape and positions providers in one of four quadrants. According to the firm, "Leaders in the WFO market provide functionally broad and deep WFO solutions that can be deployed and supported globally. Their software is suitable for all sizes and complexities of enterprises and has broad industry coverage. Revenue is strong, and new references are readily available."2
According to report author and Gartner Research Director Jim Davies, "The benefits of a WFO suite approach range from having a single-vendor contract and a lower TCO to removing integration problems, and the incorporation of cross-functional workflow is driving adoption."3 He adds, "As the market matures, greater emphasis is being placed on solution integration/unification and WFO customers/references using the entire suite. Embedded analytics is of greater importance, as is a clear strategy for mobile and social alignment and SaaS-based deployment."4
Additionally, the report points to the impact of and rise in analytics solutions, stating that "Multichannel interaction analytics has matured to the point where adoption should now be considered, due to the insight and business value that can be obtained. It should be viewed as an integral part of a WFO solution, and not a stand-alone luxury item."5
"We believe Gartner's placement of Verint in the Leaders quadrant demonstrates our commitment to customer success and innovation, including our approach to helping organizations use the multichannel voice of their customers to drive operational excellence," says Elan Moriah, president, Verint Enterprise Intelligence Solutions™ and Verint Video Intelligence Solutions™. "We remain focused on helping organizations worldwide take a customer-centric approach to their WFO deployments, including innovative ways to make their big data actionable throughout their enterprises—from the contact center, to branch and back-office operations, to other groups that help shape the ultimate customer experience."
Verint's Magic Quadrant standing is based on the company's ability to execute—covering its product/service; overall viability; sales execution/pricing; market responsiveness and track record; marketing execution; customer experience; and operations—and its completeness of vision, which includes innovation; business model; market understanding; marketing strategy; sales strategy; offering (product) strategy; vertical/industry strategy; and geographic strategy.6
By Gartner's definition, "WFO solutions contain complementary functions designed to improve contact center performance through the optimized deployment of appropriately trained and motivated agents. Functions range from recruitment and scheduling to evaluation and training. By adding intelligence to each of these functions, the ability to further optimize this cycle is achievable. Key functional domains include: workforce management (WFM) and strategic planning, call recording and quality management (QM), coaching and e-learning, performance management (PM), surveying (focused on capturing operational and agent performance information), and interaction analytics (audio and text analytics combined with screen analytics, emotion detection and associated operational call data)."7

As if the all the controversy over LTE networks crowding out Wi-Fi isn't enough, a new technology in the works at Qualcomm Research might allow a lot more people to set them up.
LTE was designed to run on frequencies licensed by mobile operators for their exclusive use. But an emerging technology called LTE-Unlicensed allows the cellular system to supplement those frequencies with unlicensed spectrum that's shared with systems like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This gives the carriers additional spectrum that they don't have to pay for in an auction.
Wireless providers including T-Mobile USA, Verizon Wireless and SK Telecom are already looking into LTE-Unlicensed. But some Wi-Fi proponents, including Google and the Wi-Fi Alliance, warn that LTE transmissions in the 5GHz unlicensed band might crowd out Wi-Fi users. An emerging variant of the technology, called LAA (Licensed-Assisted Access) is designed to ease those concerns and the Wi-Fi Alliance says it's working with the LTE standards group 3GPP to ensure coexistence.
So far, unlicensed LTE has been designed for network operators that already have licensed frequencies. They plan to use unlicensed spectrum for data downloads while keeping other traffic, such as voice calls, on a cellular band. But a new technology in the works at Qualcomm would form "LTE-based" networks using unlicensed spectrum alone. It could allow businesses, cable companies, hotspot operators and big venues like sports stadiums to deploy LTE instead of Wi-Fi wherever they wanted, without any licenses.
Qualcomm says its new system, called MuLTEfire, would deliver "LTE-like" performance, like enhanced capacity and range, while being easy to deploy like Wi-Fi. It won't hurt nearby Wi-Fi users, the company says. Indeed, Qualcomm claims that using unlicensed LTE instead of Wi-Fi can actually improve the experience of nearby Wi-Fi users because LTE is more efficient. But if MuLTEfire catches on—presumably under a catchier name—it may lead to a lot more LTE networks vying for unlicensed airwaves.
That's a big "if." Wi-Fi already has LTE beat for cheap, ubiquitous radios in mobile devices, and the unlicensed variant of LTE is a new one that will take time to show up in devices. So it's hard to see why anyone would choose LTE over Wi-Fi for a new unlicensed network, analyst Peter Jarich of Current Analysis said.
First of all, even though private businesses could deploy a fully unlicensed LTE network, it's unlikely they would, analysts say. Enterprise Wi-Fi is so mature and available from so many vendors that companies would have no reason to get involved in a whole new technology that was designed for carriers.
Where LTE does have an edge over Wi-Fi is in advanced, standardized mechanisms for things like subscriber authentication, policy-based management and coordinating among base stations. Those features might make it easier to set up a service-provider network with MuLTEfire than with Wi-Fi, analysts said.
Some emerging service providers have expressed interest in LTE for use solely in unlicensed spectrum, according to Tolaga Research analyst Phil Marshall. In addition to cable operators that want to supplement their services with mobile, adopters might include wireless carriers that can't get spectrum licenses in all the places they want to serve. That might mean, for example, AT&T setting up LTE service in foreign countries on unlicensed spectrum, but it's more likely to be a strategy for service providers in Europe that want to cross borders, Marshall said.
"There's a few scenarios that work, but obviously the ecosystem has to be developed," Marshall said.
Wi-Fi network operators and vendors have worked for years to match cellular in one area: the ability to roam onto and among different networks. Hotspot 2.0 technology has been gradually refined and is in use on some networks, but the ease of use it's promised has fallen short, Jarich said. That might be behind efforts to bring LTE into the Wi-Fi band, he said.
"The experience hasn't been there," Jarich said. "Is that part of what's going on here?"
Qualcomm itself may be a major force in determining if unlicensed-only LTE catches on. The company says it's working to develop industry-wide specifications for the technology. Qualcomm's commanding share of the mobile-device silicon market might give it the influence to bring MuLTEfire—or whatever it's eventually called—to scale.

2020 Blogging Basics Series- Waypoint 1
Learning more about Blogging
There are a number of different reasons for a blogger to start and maintain a blog. Some of these reasons include generating revenue, promoting a cause, providing useful information and staying in touch with family and friends. Although these reasons for starting a blog may be quite different, all bloggers should spend some time learning about blogging before embarking on a blogging experience. This will help to ensure the blog achieves its intended purpose and will also help to prevent the blogger from making mistakes which can be detrimental to a blog.
Just in time, Compass Marketing Group is building a multi-part series on blogging from the basics of blogging to some more advanced topics as well.
This article will discuss methods for learning about blogging including studying successful blogs and using the Internet to research the subject of blogging. This article will also briefly explain the importance of promoting your blog.
Studying Successful Blogs
One of the simplest ways for prospective bloggers and new bloggers to learn about blogging is by studying successful blogs. Do what great bloggers do. Those who have recently started a blog or are considering starting a blog can learn a great deal simply by reading and studying successful blogs.
Bloggers may choose to study blogs which focus on a similar subject but this is not necessary. Bloggers can learn a great deal about maintaining a successful blog by studying blogs related to any subject. This is because factors such as writing style, blog design, font type and colors can all contribute to the success of the blog. Some of these elements will also be determined by the web platform you are hosting your blog on as well.
In studying other blogs, the blogger should pay particular interest to aspects of the blog which attract his or her attention. This is important because these aspects also likely appeal to other blog visitors and contribute to the success of the blog. Modeling a blog with these aspects in mind can go a long way towards contributing to the success of a blog.
Using the Internet to Research Blog Tips
The Internet can be an excellent resource for learning about the subject of blogging. There are a variety of different objects related to this subject. These articles may contain tips for starting, maintaining and optimizing a blog. They may also contain tips for generating traffic to a blog and keeping visitors interested in the blog. Bloggers are advised to study the information available online carefully and to always consider the source of the information.
Considering the source of the information is important because it can help to ensure the information gleaned from the Internet is reliable. However, this can be difficult because it is not always possible to determine the source of information available on the Internet.
Another option for verifying the validity of information available online is to use other sources to confirm the information. This means a blogger may find one article which provides several tips for operating a successful blog but still searches online for information which will corroborate the information available in the original article. This may sound redundant but it can help to prevent the blogger from accepting false information as being correct.
The Importance of Promoting a Blog
Finally, bloggers should understand the importance of promoting a blog and should investigate methods of promoting their own blog. Promoting a blog is so important because it is through this type of promotion that a blog gains traffic. Gaining traffic is imperative to the success of a blog in most cases. The few exceptions include blogs which are maintained solely for the bloggers personal use as well as blogs which are maintained for the purpose of keeping friends and family members up to date on events in the bloggers life. All other blogs can benefit from increased blog traffic.
Gaining traffic is imperative to the success of a blog in most cases.
Bloggers can learn about how to successfully promote a blog by considering how they learned about blogs which they read frequently. This is significant because Internet users who read blogs likely have similar methods of finding these blogs. For example a blog reader who learned about an interesting blog through participation in a relevant message board will likely consider remaining active in message boards which are relevant to his own blog as a method of promoting his blog.
Today we scratch the surface on blogging so stay tuned for more quick reads with more layers to the blogging recipe.
