The Gulf of Saint Lawrence (French: Golfe du Saint-Laurent) is the outlet of the North American Great Lakes via the Saint Lawrence River into the Atlantic Ocean. The gulf is a semi-enclosed sea, covering an area of about 226000km2 and containing about of water, which results in an average depth of .[1]
The Gulf of Saint Lawrence is bounded on the north by the Labrador Peninsula and Quebec, to the east by Saint-Pierre and Newfoundland, to the south by the Nova Scotia peninsula and Cape Breton Island, and to the west by the Gaspe Peninsula, New Brunswick, and Quebec. As for significant islands the Gulf of Saint Lawrence contains Anticosti Island, Prince Edward Island, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Cape Breton Island, Saint Pierre Island, and Miquelon-Langlade.
Half of the ten provinces of Canada adjoin the Gulf: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec.
Besides the Saint Lawrence River itself, significant streams emptying into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence include the Miramichi River, Natashquan River, Romaine River, Restigouche River, Margaree River, and Humber River.
Branches of the Gulf include the Chaleur Bay, Fortune Bay, Miramichi Bay, St. George's Bay, Bay St. George, Bay of Islands, and Northumberland Strait.
The gulf flows into the Atlantic Ocean through the following outlets:
The limits of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence vary between sources.
The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as follows:[2]
On the Northeast.A line running from Cape Bauld (North point of Kirpon Island,) to the East extreme of Belle Isle and on to the Northeast Ledge . Thence a line joining this ledge with the East extreme of Cape St. Charles (52°13'N) in Labrador.
On the Southeast.A line from Cape Canso to Red Point in Cape Breton Island, through this Island to Cape Breton [{{coord|45|57|N|59|47|W|display=inline}}] and on to Pointe Blanche in the Island of St. Pierre, and thence to the Southwest point of Morgan Island .
On the West.The meridian of 64°30'W, but the whole of Anticosti Island is included in the Gulf.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada places the western limit at Pointe-des-Monts.[3]
St. Paul Island, Nova Scotia, off the northeastern tip of Cape Breton Island, is referred to as the "Graveyard of the Gulf" because of its many shipwrecks. Access to this island is controlled by the Canadian Coast Guard.
Bonaventure Island on the eastern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, Île Brion and Rochers-aux-Oiseaux (Bird Rock) northeast of the Magdalen Islands[4] are important migratory bird sanctuaries administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service.
The Federal Government of Canada has national parks along the Gulf of Saint Lawrence at Forillon National Park on the eastern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, Prince Edward Island National Park on the northern shore of the island, Kouchibouguac National Park on the northeastern coast of New Brunswick, Cape Breton Highlands National Park on the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of Newfoundland, and a National Park Reserve in the Mingan Archipelago on the Côte-Nord of Quebec.
The five provinces bordering the Gulf of Saint Lawrence also have several provincial parks apiece, some of which preserve coastal features.
The Laurentian Channel is a feature of the floor of the Gulf that was formed during previous ice ages, when the Continental Shelf was eroded by the Saint Lawrence River during the periods when the sea level plunged. The Laurentian Channel is about 290m (950feet) deep and about 1250km (780miles) long from the Continental Shelf to the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River. Deep waters with temperatures between 2°C6.5°C enter the Gulf at the continental slope and are slowly advected up the channel by estuariane circulation.[5] Over the 20th century, the bottom waters of the end of the channel (i.e. in the Saint Lawrence estuary) have become hypoxic.[6]
The gulf has provided a historically important marine fishery for various First Nations that have lived on its shores for millennia and used its waters for transportation.
The first documented voyage by a European in its waters was by the French explorer Jacques Cartier in the year 1534. Cartier named the shores of the Saint Lawrence River "The Country of Canadas", after an indigenous word meaning "village" or "settlement", thus naming the world's second largest country.[7]
At just about the same period, Basques came to frequent the area for whale-hunting and trade with the First Nations people of the modern Canadian Atlantic and Quebec provinces. They left vestiges of their presence in many locations of the area - docks, furnaces, graveyards, etc.

NEAR MR. SMURTHWAYT,- The autumn rush of
new books has fairly commenced. For the wise
publisher, taking time by the forelock, has already issued, in order to escape the deluge of distinctively "gift-book literature," a fair proportion of what is most valuable in his season's announcements. Just now there is more than a chance of a good book getting some share of attention; later, all but the most important have to take their turn. But in the following list of " volumes most in demand" the first two books, at least, are hardly likely to be beaten, from the point of view of sales, this side of Christmas :
Sir George Tressady. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. 6s.
the Midian Episode of the French Revolution. By Félix Gras. 3s. 6d.
Armenia and its Sorrows. By W. J. Wintle. ls. Songs of Travel and Other Verses. By Robert Louis Stevenson. 58.
Victoria, Her Life and Reign: an Illustrated Biography of the Queen. By A. E. Knight. 33. . You will have read "Sir George Tressady" (Smith and Elder, 6s.) in its unrevised form (for since its serial publication Mrs. Humphry Ward has made considerable alteration) as it appeared in the Century, so I need waste no time in referring to it here. Nor need I dilate at length on Miss Corelli's new story « The Murder of Delicia" (Skeffington, 5s.), which, like its more recent forerunners, has not been sent out to the press-so that you will be able to attack it with appetite unsated with the suggested detail of a hundred reviews. That this policy has not saved Miss Corelli from her critics is evidenced, however, by a recent article on "Our Lady of Pars" in the Saturday. "The Reds of the Midi," by 1. Félix Gras, deserves the success it has gained. I sent it you, with some comment, last month. Mr. Wintle's "Armenia and Its Sorrows" (Melrose, ls.)
is not by any means the only book that the crisis 111 has called forth, as you will see when I come to describe
the other contents of your box, but it is the cheapest li and handiest, and as it contains a number of illusstrations and a good map, its popularity is well-earned.
The author's attempt has been "to present a concise Pia account of the Armenians and their recent sufferings." que The next book. " Songs of Travel and Other Verses) - Chatto, 5s.), brings a thrill to the lover of literature i that is not likely to be often equalled before the end of
the century. Certainly it contains passages that I, for
Do you remember--can we e'er forget ?
I have since then contended and rejoiced ;
Of discontent and rapture and despair ? Mr. Knight's "Victoria, Her Life and Reign," you had from me a month ago. It would make a particularly opportune prize in your village school.
Now to attract your attention at once to two volumes, so small that they may not be noticed, but large with temperament and interest. Who is there who has forgotten "The Sunless Heart," that bitter-sweet firstfruit of the talent of a young Scottish authoress, and the evidence which it afforded of power, originality and intensity of feeling? and intensity
You will therefore be glad to receive Miss Johnstone's second book, " The Douce Family," which Mr. Fisher Unwin has just published in his Century Library (1s. 6d.). I do not suppose you will like the theme, although it is one that seems to have some attraction for women writers nowadays. We have had novels enough in which the brilliant and clever hero is enslaved by some wanton whose physical charms constitute her sole capital. In " The Douce Family" the plot is the same, but the rôles are reversed. It is the woman who has the brains and the man the physique. But since Queen Titania loved ass-hea led Bottom, there was never such an inversion of the fitness of things as the sacrifice by the winsome but wilful Winona at the shrine of such a stupid, vulgar, selfish brute as John Douce. It is a sad story, and the saddest thing about it is that Edith Johnstone should have written it. There is no radiance in " The Douce Family" to cast a gleam of light over a Suniess Heart.
Mr. Coulson Kerpahan is developing into a veritable Fidei Defensor. In his latest little book " The Child, the Wise Man, and the Devil" (Bowden, ls.), we have a quaint, vivid and striking presentation of the desolation, moral, social and human, which would follow if God wiped out, as a child wipes out an unworked sum fron a slate, all that the great name of Jesus means and has meant for humanity. I will not spoil your pleasure in reading Mr. Kernahau's finely conceived vision, but merely commend to you one sentence headed "The Child a Soldier of the Cross." The little child in the arms of Jesus has, says Mr. Kernahan, "struck deadlier blows at the enemies of the Cross than all the arguments of all the theologians. That child is the most powerful foe whom the armies of unbelief have to fear."
As I suggested just now, there have been quite a number of books owing their appearance to the gangrene in the near East. The largest and the most valuable is " Turkey and the Armenian Atrocities" (Unwin, 10s. 6d.), the work of a young American missionary, the Rev. Edwin M. Bliss, who has treated his subject with knowledge and ability, Miss Willard commends his work in a brief introduction, and there are several illustrations of a novel character, and a good map. With somewhat different object appears the anonymous " Historical Sketch of Armenia and the Armenians in Ancient and Modern Times, with Special Reference to the Present Crisis" (Stock, 5s.); but a book which will interest far more readers in the movement for the relief of the Armenians is Miss Edna Lyall's "The Autobiography of a Truth" (Longmans, Is.), a tale built on the plan of her " Autobiography of a Slander," published nearly two years ago. All the profits that are made by the sale of this story are to be devoted to the Armenian cause, so, though it is rather sentimental than powerful, it deserves success.
There is no really serious or original history in the parcel, although you will find Mrs. Hawtrey's " Outline History of Germany" (Longmans, 3s. 61.), and Mr. F. H. Cliffe's " Manual of Italian Literature" (Macqueen, 6s.), useful; while Mr. Tighe Hopkins's sensational " Kilmainhami Memories: the Story of the Greatest Political Crime of the Century" (Ward and Lock, 1s.), with its interesting illustrations and its fresh information about No. 1 and his fellow-conspirators, could not appear more opportunely. To the series devoted to By-Ways of Bible History has been added the late William Knight's " The Arch of Titus and the Spoils of the Empire" (R. T. S., 2s. 6d.); and · Mr. W. J. Gordon's " The Story of Our Railways" (R. T. S., Is. 6d.), is of its kind a remarkably able, comprehensive, and well-illustrated volume. The only English biography is Mr. W. J. Wintle's " The Story of Florence Nightingale, the Heroineiof the Crimea" (S. S. U., 1s.); but, although I do not often send you French books, I must make an exception now and then, and one of these exceptions you will find in your parcel. It is "Le Cardinal Manning," by Francis de Pressensé (Perrin, 3 fr. 50 c.). An English translation is to appear shortly, but you had better read the charmingly limpid French of the author. M. de Pressensé is the son of the famous Protestant pastor, and this book about our Cardinal is not so much a literary as a religious event. It consists of three hundred pages, one-third of which are devoted to a preface, in which the author, with exquisite candour, sets forth his conviction as to what he considers the collapse of the Protestant defence against unbelief. While it could offer an infallible guide in the shape of the printed Word of God, as an alternative to the Infallible Church, it survived. But as the authority of the written Word crumbles before the assaults of the higher criticism, Protestants are beginning to see their position untenable and are falling back on the citadels. You will not agree with him, neither do I, for Rome appears to be no citadel, but a fortress long ago swept by the guns of the enemy. But that does not matter. The important thing to note is, that M. de Pressensé says he believes it; and, although he does not definitely execute his retreat, he has virtually given the signal for the abandonment. of the position which his father so brilliantly defended. In his "Sketch of the Cardinal" he reprints the two articles which he contributed to the Revue des Deux Mondes shortly after the appearance of Purcell's book. They are a veritable out burst of devout delight over the character of Manning, mingled with a cry of horror that such a saint should have had such a biographer as Mr. Purcell.
" The New Charter : à Discussion of the Rights of Men and the Rights of Animals" (Bell, 2s.), is the only volume of a social and political kind I have to send. Issued under the auspices of the Humanitarian League, it contains six addresses by men as dissimilar as Mr. Frederic Harrison, Mr. G. W. Foote, of the Freethinker, and Mr. J. C. Kenworthy.
In art there is the third and final volume of the translation of Professor Muther's " History of Moderu
Painting" (Henry, 18s. 6d. net), which deals more particularly with "The Painters of Life," and "The New Idealists," and with the most recent developments of modern art. The small reproductions of well-known paintings by each master are admirably executed, and will be extremely useful as reminders of their arrangement and composition. The publishers deserve congratulation on so successful a termination of so valuable a task. Then you will find a rather sumptuous volume, edited by Mr. Lawrence Housman, himself a draughtsman of renown, and entitled "Arthur Boyd Houghton : a Selection from his Work in Black and White" (Paul, 15s, net), a book of extreme interest and value to those who fancy themselves on a knowledge of the history and capabilities of illustration. It would be well indeed if some of our modern black and white artists would study Houghton's drawings—most of which are here printed from the original wood-blocks.
To the Warwick Library, the two preceding volumes of which I have already sent you, has been added a useful collection of " English Essays" (Blackie, 3s. 6d.), selected and edited by Mr. J. H. Lobban, whose introduction, a good piece of work, extends over some sixty pages. The scheme has excluded "professedly critical papers," but room has been found for many examples besides those of Bacon, Cowley, Defoe, Steele, Swift, and Hazlitt-the names that are most prominent.
There are plenty of works of travel and topographical interest. The largest, Mr. Ling Roth's " The Natives of Sarawak and British North Borneo" (Truslove, 50s. net) is in two big volumes, is " based chiefly on the MSS. ot the late Hugh Brooke Low, Sarawak Government," and contains a rather irrelevant preface by Mr. Andrew Lang. Anthropologically the value of this work cannot be overestimated: as Mr. Lang remarks, it is a mine from which everybody can draw, in accordance with his needs"; and its usefulness is largely increased by its hundreds of illustrations-reproductions of photographs and of native art, for the most part. Coming nearer home, we have Dr. David Murray's " An Archaeological Survey of the United Kingdom" (Maclehose, Glasgow, ls.), a reprint of an address delivered at Glasgow with the object of attracting attention to the necessity for the preservation and protection of our ancient monuments. One would have thought that English and Americans between them have said all that was worth saying about Stratford-on-Avon, and its connection with Shakespeare, but "there is always room on the top," and Mr. and Mrs. Snowden Ward's "Shakespeare's Town and Times" (Dawbarn, 78. 6d. net.) is a delightful volume which more than justifies its existence. The authors' aim has been to state plain fact, both with pen and camera, and as a result their letterpress is readable and valuable, and their illustrations, all reproduced from photographs in the most admirable manner, help to give the untravelled reader a better idea of the environment in which the poet lived than anything of the kind I have seen. . Two books there are on Paris--one, historical and archæological simply, is Mr. Walter F. Lonergan's " Historic Churches of Paris " (Downey, 21s.), whose chief value lies in illustrations by Mr B. S. Le Fanu ; and the other, a great deal more modern, Mr. Stuart Henry's" Paris Days and Evenings" (Unwin, 7s. 6d.), a collection of short papers, evidently the work of an American very much at home in Paris, on different phases of life and art in the French capital. It is a thoroughly readable volume, aud one that helps to a better appreciation of the Parisian temperament to-day. And I send you new editions of thrce of Baedeker's Handbooks –" Paris and Environs, with Routes from London to Paris" (Dulau, 6s.), " London and its Environs" (6s.), and " The Rhine from Rotterdam to Constance" (75.)—all of which seem to have been considerably improved.
Three or four interesting theological and religious books will provide you with a sufficiency of reading for wet Sabbaths. Mr. Stopford Brooke's "The Old Testament and Modern Life" (Isbister, 6s.) is a collection of short discourses, which, taking the stories of the Old Testament for their basis, read into them a lesson for humanity to-day. Count Tolstoi's " The Gospel in Brief" (Scott, 23. 6d.) is described as "a deliberate and careful endeavour to simplify, summarise, and emphasise" all that the author of " Anna Karenina" has before said as to "Jesus and His teaching." The Rev. Francis Bourdillon's " The Voice of the People: Some Proverbs and Common Sayings examined and applied, with Special Reference to Practical Life" (R.T.S., 2s.) sufficiently explains itself.
I have in months past sent you more than one book on flowers by Mr. Edward Step. He must be a versatile writer, for to-day I send a volume similar in size entitled "By the Deep Sea: a Popular Introduction to the Wild Life of the British Shores " (Jarrold, 5s.). It is a well-illustrated and a practical manual. I thought it well to enclose the Rev. George Henslow's "How to Study Wild Flowers" (R.T.S. 25. éd.), with Dr. Renlow's "The Human Eye and Its Auxiliary Organs Anatomically Represented, with Explanatory Text" (Philip, 2s. 6d. net), a new edition, with a paper on " Eyesight" by Mr. John Browning. Miss Florence Stacpoole's "Everyday Ailments and How to Treat Them" (Scott, 6d.) strikes me as a most useful little brochure. And you will also find a new edition of Dr. Gregory's " Animal Magnetism; or Mesmerism and its Phenomena" (Redway, 6s, net).
I have made a selection of the best of recent new editions to send you this month. First is the new volume of the series of Illustrated Standard Novels Captain Marryat's "The King's Own" (Macmillan, 3s. 6d.), with an introduction by Mr. David Hannay and . a number of clever illustrations by Mr. F. HI. Townsend.
This series remains still one of the cheapest and most attractive in the market - in spite of a series on identical lines which a new firm," betraying thereby lamentable lack of originality, have lately commenced to issue. There has recently, by the way, been quite a boom in Marryat as there has been a boom in Peacock. Messrs. Routledge are issuing a serviceable edition, under the direction of Mr. W. L. Courtney, and Messrs. J. M. Dent have just published two new volumes in their edition_"Poor Jack" and " The King's Own" (3s. 6d. each, net.). This last is under the editorship of Mr. Brimley Johnson, is well illustrated, and is certainly Well produced externally. It is likely to be the standard e lition of a series of novels which, as long as boys care at all for stirring yarns, will never lack readers. I don't know whether it is to Mr. Clement Shorter, the editor of the Illustrated London News, that we owe the excellent idea of a series of Nineteenth Century Classics, but anyhow he is the editor of the series, with which an excellent start has been made with Carlyle's " Sartor Resartus," with an introduction by Professor Dowden, his "On Heroes and Hero-Worship," with an introduction by Mr. Gosse, and Matthew Arnold's " Alaric at Rome and other Poems," with an introduction by Dr. Garnett (Ward and Lock, 2s, 6d. each). Each
volume contains a portrait of its author in photogravure, and the whole appearance is such that, at the price, I can honestly say the series has not been approached for all round excellence. Many of the poems of Arthur Hugh Clough are just out of copyright, and Mr. Ernest Rhys has seized the opportunity to edit "The Bothie, and Other Poems" (Scott, 1s.) for the Canterbury Poets. I need not point out to you how beautiful and thoughtful a poem " The Bothie" is. How fine, for instance, is that description of the water and the bathing in the third canto! But this little volume does not contain the immortal "New Decalogue." A new edition, with numerous improvements, has appeared of Mr. J. G. Bartholomew's "Handy Reference Atlas of the World" (Walker, 7s.6d.), for years the most convenient book of its class; the whole of Dumas's " Monte Cristo " has appeared in one well printed and illustrated volume (Scott, 3s. 6d.); and "The Best Plays of Sir John Vanbrugh" (Unwin, 3s. 6d.) have been issued in the Mermaid Series of Old Dramatists, under the editorship of Mr. A. E. H. Swaen. Finally I must mention the parts (Dent, 2s. 6d. each, net) of the new edition of Spenser's "Faerie Queene," which Mr. Fairfax-Muckley is "illustrating and decorating"in a manner extremely charming. When completed this will certainly be one of the most beautiful books that have been published. Mr. Fairfax-Muckley's work is finely decorative, and lacking entirely the morbid note which has gone so far to spoil recent works of this class.
I do not know whether you will hail Mr. Horace Pease, whose " White-Faced Priest and other Northumbrian Episodes" (Gay, 3s. 6d.), I send you, as the "Ian Maclaren" of Northumberland. But I am sure you will enjoy the racy Northumbrian stories which Mr. Pease has written largely in the expressive vernacular of Tyneside. Northumberland has long waited its novelist, and there is some reason to believe that it has found him in Mr. Pease, whose previous volumes, " Borderland Studies" and " The Mark o'the De'il," light up with many a flash of sympathetic genius the almost unexplored regions of Northumbrian life. As an old Northumbrian I recognise the true note of my native county, and although you will not feel as much at home in the dialect, you will not find it so difficult as the Scotch of Drumtochty. And there are other novels-a new story of regulation length by "Iota," the author of "The Yellow Aster," entitled for some reason not entirely easy to understand, "A Quaker Grandmother" (Hutchinson, 6s.), but thoroughly readable; and a new novel by Miss F. F. Montrésor, "False Coin or True" (Hutchinson, 3s. 6d.). To the Keynotes Series has been added "Day-Books" (Lane, 3s. 6d. net), by Miss Mabel E. Wotton; to the Daffodil Library, « The Kaffir Circus: South Africa Stories of To-day" (Jarrold, ls.), by Miss Donovan; and to the Leisure Library a new novel of some length by Miss Nora Vynne—"The Story of a Fool and his Folly" (Hutchinson, 25.), which will certainly do something to further a reputation deservedly considerable already. One of those new authors whose progress one feels at once one will have every cause to watch, has appeared in Miss Edith Hamlet, whose "A Touch of Sorrow" (Dent, 4s. 6d, net) has attracted a deal of attention, and the ubiquitous Mr. Pett Ridge has issued another collection of his short stories and dialogues, under the title of " An Important Man and Others" (Ward and Lock, 1s.). Finally, there is a new volume in Professor Saintsbury's edition of the novels of Balzac-" The Country Parson " (Dent, 3s. 6d. net).

M HE babies offerei for adoption now much exceed 1 in number those desirous of adopting children, con
sequently the babies have to wait their turn, and must be on our list longer than at first, when the balance was on the other side. As the object of my work in attempting this department is to be the medium of finding children for foster-parents who are without children, yet feel the desire to fill up the blank in their hearts and homes by adopting as their own some of the homeless among the little ones, the work, from the foster-parents' point of view (which is the point of view of the Baby Exchange), does not suffer from the preponderance of the children.
I wish now to state explicitly that no help can be given from the Baby Exchange to those foster-parents who wish for a premium or other payments with the children. A number of letters come with such requests. From this date, no such letters will be noticed, but at once consigned to the waste-paper basket.
The mother of two little boys, respectively eight and five years of age, would be glad to have them adopted. Owing to the death of her husband she is left in very poor pecuniary circumstances. The two boys are goodlooking and intelligent; they are grandsons of one of Her Majesty's Indian Judges.
A curate in the country has written suggesting the possibility of holiday adoptions—that is to say, the adoption of a boy or girl during holiday time. He says:-"This would somewhat relieve the dreariness of many lives, and I cannot help fancying that some widow. mother in straitened circumstances might be glad to accept such small offer of assistance."

First there was the news that Warner had decided to push back Harry Potter's next adventure to next year from its original November unveiling, now comes the news that The Weinstein Company are following suit, uprooting their adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road from its November release until an as yet unconfirmed later date.
John Hillcoat (The Proposition)'s film, which stars Viggo Mortensen as a father who is left wandering a barren post-apocalyptic America with his son, has been shunted back to a December release at the earliest and there is a strong possibility, it is rumoured, that the film may not even see the light of day this year. The Weinstein Company executives are to meet with the movie's producers to discuss its future. According to sources close to the picture, though, the film remains far from complete, which suggests that a 2009 release is the more likely outcome.

Why You Might Need An Adjustable Bed
There are numerous reasons why you might need an adjustable bed. When it comes to improving quality of life, many people find there is nothing more restorative than spending a night in a hydraulic bed. And when it comes to luxury beds, you don't need to be infirmed or have a chronic disorder to benefit from an adjustable bed. In fact, you could simply be someone that works hard and needs to sleep just as hard to feel rejuvenated the next day. Here are five reasons why you might need an adjustable bed.
You work on your feet. A lot of people work on their feet and after a while being on your feet all the time can start to take its toll. Hospital beds are great, because they can allow you to adjust your sleep experience, but what about bringing that experience home with you? With the Easy Rest adjustable sleep experience, you can. Easy Rest beds are designed for use in the home and have mattresses that equal every major retailer in quality. If you are in the service industry or any other position that requires being on your feet for long periods of time, it is recommended to purchase an adjustable bed. http://www.easyrest.com/easy-rest-adjustable-bed-models/
You are a senior. If you are a senior, you might benefit greatly from all the benefits that electric beds have to offer. As a senior, you could have arthritis, joint pain, or any other condition that is common with advanced age. With an adjustable bed frame, you will not only find the right position to sleep in, but you can also find the perfect position for reading or watching television. Not only that, but it is also important to find the right position to get out of bed when you are a senior. With an adjustable bed, you can find this position and maximize the comfort in your life. Read more about our adjustable beds here.
You are a side sleeper. Sleeping on your side can be one of the best positions according to doctors, but it can eventually cause lower back pain. A memory foam bed can provide support, but not the same support as an adjustable bed. An adjustable bed can provide the right amount of hip support for side sleepers so that their spine and back are perfectly aligned. This simple adjustment can allow for a much more restful night of sleep.
Indeed, an adjustable bed, like the ones made by Easy Rest, can provide people from all walks of life an incredible night's sleep. If you work on your feet, are elderly, overweight or are a side sleeper, you can enjoy all of the amazing benefits of an adjustable sleep experience. And right now when you visit www.easyrest.com/sweeps20 you can enter to win your very own Easy Rest adjustable bed – for free. That's right, free. There is no obligation or purchase necessary. This is an estimated minimum retail value $1,849.00 - Plus Free Delivery and Installation. In less than thirty seconds, you can enter to win the Easy Rest adjustable experience - an experience that will give you a lifetime of relaxation and positional comfort.

by Holt Sorenson
This is the first article in a four-part series on OpenSSL, a library written in the C programming language that provides routines for cryptographic primitives utilized in implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. OpenSSL also includes routines for implementing the SSL protocol itself, and it includes an application called openssl that provides a command line interface to both sets of routines. This articles introduce some cryptographic tools that the SSL protocol has borrowed from cryptographer's bags of tricks to accomplish its design goals. While readers who are already familiar with cryptographic concepts may be familiar with the content presented in this installment, the following "Brief Overview of Cryptographic Primitives" section should nevertheless be interesting reading and will certainly set up the rest of this discussion.
Brief Overview of Cryptographic Primitives
This section will begin by first introducing symmetric ciphers. Next, asymmetric ciphers will be examined. Following that, hash functions and Message Authentication Codes (MACs) will be explored. Lastly, cryptographic randomness will be explained with an ardent rant/plea to be zealous and vigilant about properly providing cryptographic randomness for cryptosystems.
Symmetric (Single key) ciphers
Symmetric, single key, or secret key ciphers utilize an algorithm, whose inputs are a key and some plaintext. The resultant output is ciphertext. When one wishes to recover the plaintext, one feeds the ciphertext and the key into the algorithm. Such an algorithm has the property that if an attacker knows the ciphertext and the algorithm, neither the plaintext nor the key can be recovered. This makes the key a critical piece of information that should be protected from would be attackers. There are two commonly-used families of symmetric ciphers. One family is called stream ciphers, as they are mathematically designed in such a way as to encipher a constant stream of information. The other family is called block ciphers because these ciphers operate on blocks of data. One can learn more about both types of ciphers by consulting [RSAFaq2]. A common block cipher implemented by OpenSSL is Triple DES (3DES) [3DESCite] that is based on the Data Encryption Standard (DES). Another is Blowfish [BFcite]. Both 3DES and Blowfish will be used in the examples later in the article. 3DES's progenitor, DES, is now obsolesced by the relentless march of technology. Its successor is called the Advanced Encryption Standard [AESCite]. The nascent AES has yet to be included in OpenSSL, however. An example of a common stream cipher implemented by OpenSSL is RC4 [RC4cite].
Asymmetric (Dual key) ciphers
Asymmetric, dual key, or public key ciphers are a bit more complex in their design and implementation. Alice and Bob are two persons who only have a public channel over which to communicate. They wish the content of their messages to be known only by each other. This requirement keeps Alice and Bob from transmitting a secret key to one another across the public channel, because if eavesdropping Eve was monitoring the channel she could use the key she learned from Bob and Alice's transmission to decrypt all transmissions enciphered with that key.
Bob has information for his friend, Alice, that he wishes no one else to know. He also wishes to receive an acknowledgement of the message that he sends. His requirement for this acknowledgment is that it have the property that only Alice could create the acknowledgment. Such a property allows Bob to authenticate that Alice created the acknowledgement message. Both Bob and Alice know that their nosey adversary, Eve, is eavesdropping on their communication. They decide utilize asymmetric encryption because of their security requirements for this transaction.
Bob and Alice agree upon an asymmetric encryption algorithm and Alice creates a key pair that contains two keys. One is known by both Bob and Eve because Alice sends the key to Bob, and Eve eavesdrops on the transmission. This key is called the public key. The other key, known only to Alice, is called the private key.
Bob feeds the Alice's public key and plaintext to the asymmetric algorithm and the resultant output is ciphertext. Bob sends the ciphertext to Alice. Alice recovers the plaintext by feeding the ciphertext and the private key to the algorithm. The algorithm is termed asymmetric because there are two keys involved; there is the public key, used to encrypt the plaintext, and private key, used to decrypt the ciphertext. The algorithm has the property that if Eve knows the ciphertext, the algorithm, and the public key, neither the plaintext nor the public key's complement, the private key, can be recovered. This makes the private key a critical piece of information that should be protected from Eve and her cohorts.
Alice then crafts her acknowledgment message and feeds the asymmetric algorithm the private key and the acknowledgement message. The result of the operation is the signature. The signature and the message are published. Bob who has the public key corresponding to the private key held by the Alice, can verify the signature with Alice's public key. Since only Alice has the private key, only Alice could have performed the initial signing operation that yielded the published signature that is linked to the message by the private key and the algorithm. Although Eve knows the algorithm, the public key, the message, and its signature, Eve can't recover Alice's private key. Bob is assured that Alice really received the message, because only she could craft the acknowledgement that he verified she created. A common asymmetric cipher is RSA (named for its creators, Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) [RSACite]. A common asymmetric signature scheme is DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) [DSSCite]. The Diffie-Hellman algorithm is often used in conjunction with DSS when a use of DSS also needs asymmetric encryption [DHCite].
Whether using a symmetric or asymmetric cipher, care should be taken to use keys of a sufficient length that will protect your transaction for the amount of time that its data is sensitive. In general, the longer you wish to protect the data the longer the key should be. [KeyLengthCite] discusses this in greater detail. Also, the scenario explained above only protects against passive attackers such as Eve. A malicious attacker, Mallory, could actively attack Alice and Bob's transmissions by posing as Alice to Bob, and as Bob to Alice. Such an attack is called a man-in-the-middle attack and more steps such as out-of-band verification are needed in a protocol to thwart such attacks.
Hash functions and Message Authentication Codes (MAC) are two cryptographic mechanisms that allow parties to verify the integrity of data that has been transmitted or has been stored for a period of time.
Hash Functions
A cryptographic hash, also known as a message digest or a modification detection code, is an algorithm that, when fed a set of data, computes a unique identifier. This identifier cannot be replicated by feeding any other data to the algorithm except that particular set of data. This property is called collision-resistant. Also, if an attacker knows the algorithm and the unique identifier, the attacker cannot recover the set of data by feeding the algorithm the unique identifier. This property is called one-way. One example of a hash function is the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) [SHACite]. Another hash function that is often used is Message Digest 5 (MD5) [MD5Cite]. SHA is being updated to be usable with the new blocksizes of AES [SHAupdate]. MD5 is faster then SHA, but a recent paper has shown that it is not as collision resistant as originally conjectured [Dobbertin1996].
Message Authentication Code (MAC)
A message authentication code, or MAC, feeds a key and plaintext to an algorithm to create the MAC. Both stream and block ciphers can be used as MACs [RSAFaq4]. Hash functions can also be used as MACs in conjunction with a shared secret, or key. Since MACs use keys as part of their algorithm, one should take the same care with these keys as one would take with keys used in any other cryptographic operation.
An example: Alice and Bob's brother, Bobcheck, have decided they want to exchange data. They want assurance that that the data hasn't changed while in transit. They aren't worried about the data remaining confidential. Bobcheck and Alice have previously agreed on a shared secret, and have agreed to use the HMAC [Krawczyk1997] function.
Alice takes the key and message and runs them through the HMAC algorithm. She transmits the message and the HMAC result to Bobcheck. Bobcheck runs the key and the message through the HMAC algorithm. He verifies that the result of the HMAC is the same as that which Alice transmitted. Since it is, he knows the message has traversed the hostile environment without modification. Bobcheck can trust that Alice was the person that sent the message since she is the only other person in possession of the shared secret.
Cryptographic Randomness
One of the easiest places to break a cryptographic system is to use values for keys that aren't cryptographically random. [Eastlake1994] more colorfully articulates this idea by stating:
"For the present, the lack of generally available facilities for generating such unpredictable numbers is an open wound in the design of cryptographic software... the only safe strategy so far has been to force the local installation to supply a suitable routine to generate random numbers. To say the least, this is an awkward, error-prone and unpalatable solution".
A cryptographically "random number is one that the adversary has to guess, [and for which] there is no strategy for determining [the number] that is better than brute force" [Callas1996].
When random numbers are needed, one should utilize a source of randomness that, if identically replicated by an attacker, would not generate the same numbers for your application as it does for the attacker. Sources of randomness are said to be truly random if the attacker has infinite computing resources and the difficulty of computing the random numbers that you are generating remains intractable. Sources of randomness are said to be pseudo random if they are only safe against an attacker with limited computational resources [Ellison1995].
Unfortunately many people implementing cryptography have failed to grasp the concepts elucidated above.
Recently a minor change was made to OpenSSL to check the random value seeding the OpenSSL pseudo random number generator. This resulted in persons asking the OpenSSL mailing list how to skirt the check so that they could utilize OpenSSL without providing an unguessable seed. They received recommendations such as:
The worst advice given was to rip the check code out of the OpenSSL library [Guttman2000]. This would cause the prng to be seeded with nothing, resulting in consistently predictable output. The query has been put forth enough by users of OpenSSL that it is now a FAQ item [OpenSSLFAQRNG]. One last example of poor suggestions on seeding a PRNG is to "use several files as random seed enhancers which will help to make the key more secure. Text files that have been compressed with a utility such as gzip are good choices." [Slacksite]. Random Seed Enhancers ? Bollocks. gzip has a regular file format that allows manipulation of the file. This format is predicatable. It is also trivial for an attacker to create the same seed by gzipping the same files that you have. How many files are on your system ? I found a little over 45,000 on the system on which I am writing this article. 45,000 is a small enough number that a determined, if bored, attacker can gzip each file and try the result as a seed to the PRNG that generated your SSL enabled server's private key. Even using multiple files with this method to seed OpenSSL's prng is silly given the number of off the shelf solutions to generating cryptographically random seeds referenced below.
I imploringly beseech that you not subjugate yourself to such putrescent refuse! Such statements are great for fertilizing farmland occupying hundreds of acres, but don't cut the proverbial mustard as adequate recommendations for how to seed a PRNG. Remember that PRNGs are just that, pseudo. Assisting PRNGS in having a proper start is a human problem because PRNGs don't know better. Innumerable are the triage group therapy sessions cryptographers have been forced to convene because they had to console traumatized PRNGs that had been abused by being fed predicable input [Goldberg1996]. Have you ever seen a PRNG get it's stomach pumped ? It's not pretty. If the algorithms used by gzip really were good enough for this purpose then said algorithms would alone be used as PRNGs.
Some possible user land remedies, in the form of software packages, that are thought to be acceptable for generating randomness suitable for cryptographic use on most Unices are the Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) [egd] and the Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon (PRNGD) [prngd]. Kernel-based devices are available in Linux [LinuxRandom], Solaris [MaierAndi] or [SUNWski], and OpenBSD [OpenBSDRandom]. FreeBSD offers a /dev/random. Intel Pentium III CPUs or newer come with a hardware based random number generator [IntelRNG]. Linux 2.2.18 and newer makes it accessible as /dev/intel_rng [Garzik2000] with properly configured kernels.
Please, please, *PLEASE* go to the trouble of making sure that you are using sources of randomness that consensus has deemed worthy of generating key material. If you use broken randomness I can guarantee that your crypto will be broken no matter how well designed the algorithm and protocol is, or what the length of your keys are. .
As I've brushed over some cryptographic primitives above, I've made many statements which imply that the science of cryptography is absolute and that breaking ciphers is impossible. This is not the case. Many aspects of cryptography are only conjectured, not proven, to work. Cryptography utilizes complex algorithms which use BFNs (really big numbers) to maintain the integrity of data, to keep it confidential, or to authenticate what key was used to sign a message for a LFT (a really long time). It's also important to catch the nuance of the last phrase in the previous sentence. Keys are what are used in cryptographic operations, not people or computers. You can't really tell if a person encrypted something because humans use computers to perform the operations on their behalf. To make matters worse, keys are used on systems that you can't trust, systems which are notorious for having their security (if the designers even attempted to include security) obliterated regularly. So the reality is that we presume a key was used to perform an operation; We presume that a given operation was performed; We presume that a person was somehow involved and that this key is theirs.
Continuing to delve into all the details of this quandary is outside of the scope of this article, but a recent publication [Schneier2000], explicates these issues in easy to understand terms. It's even probable that your pointy-haired-boss can be somewhat security literate after reading it. I will resist saying something like there is a limit that your PHB would approach in trying to understand security/cryptography because we have been discussing concepts that are built on math and anyone who takes Calculus 101 has dealt with limits and knows how inexcusably gruesome a pun that would be.

This years Wickerman see's the beginning of a new era for the friendly festival with new promoters and a new captain in charge. Last year saw the untimely death of co-founder Jamie Gilroy but rather than cancel the event his daughter Jennie Camm decided to take the reigns and push ahead as normal. As a tribute to her dad she requested that festivalgoers emulate her father's love for flamboyant waistcoats and wear the loudest they could get their hands on.
As in usual Wickerman tradition another eclectic line up was in store for the equally eclectic audience.. Not many places where you'll find Steve Ignorant share the same field as Lulu and with headliners as diverse as The Waterboys, Example, The Vaselines and the Sonics theres no chance of not finding something to suit most tastes and the grub aint half bad either!!
Lets get one thing straight…its July 24th….yeah summer but with temperatures hovering in the high 14teens!!! Somebody has forgotten to tell the great weather god in the sky its supposed to be warm if not hot!! Maybe we need to sacrifice a virgin to please him…well at least it stayed dry.
Friday saw extrovert Julian Cope take to the main stage in some very dodgy attire but his performance and anecdotes made up for his dodgy wardrobe choice, he was followed by in my opinion one of the performances of the festival…Stereo MC'S were on fire and gave a blistering performance with frontman Rob Birch making full use of the full ge and really capturing the crowds attention. New to the festival was The Piano Bar introduced by Jennie Camm where Lulu performed a very intimate set to raise funds for the cancer charity Maggies. Later the seasoned performer showed why she's still top of her game when she gave a captivating performance on the main stage. Penultimate headliners on Friday were new wave popsters Squeeze who delighted the crowd with a set full of hits dating back to the late 70's. Friday's main stage headliners The Waterboys bring a truly eclectic day of music to an end in fine style, Mike Scott looking fit and confident delivered a set comprising of songs from their extensive back catalogue and from the great new album 'Modern Blues'. Opening with 'A Fisherman's Blues' and setting the tone for a triumphant Wickerman debut.
Saturday saw a plethora of bleary-eyed revelers queuing at the many burger vans to fuel up for another day of music, beer and keeping the kids entertained!! Cheltenham lads Young Kato gave an impressive performance despite the early afternoon slot and won over the small crowd who cheered them on. Baby Strange are a brilliant Glasgow and again despite the early start packed out the Scooter tent. Modern day minster and self confessed grump RM Hubbard struck a lonely figure on the vast expanses of the main stage, his amazing guitar skills and wonderful song writing abilities shone brighter than the sun high in the summer's sky. Alan Mcgee's latest discovery Alias Kid played an absolute belter on the festival's newest stage in the Phoenix Tent reinforcing the hype that's circulating in the music press and photographers were clambering over each other to grab some iconic shots of indie music's saviors…..
Festival highlight came in the form of ska band Esperanza who managed to get the Scooter tent closed as punters clambered to get into the party atmosphere generated by this excellent band.
Neneh Cherry for many was a surprise addition to the main stage line up but an electrifying performance proved her critics wrong as she managed to gather a huge crowd to the stage front, this with some beautiful summer's evening sunshine proved to be a winner for the festival organisers. Next came one of the best Wickerman performances since Nile Rogers and Chic…Jimmy Cliff must be one of the best known singers ever…. everybody knows at least one song he has performed and the air was thick with expectation when his band started so when he came on stage seated with a drum disappointedly we thought we're in for a pretty laid back show….then boom!!! after the first song a strange version of 'Rivers Of Babylon' the 76 year old jumps to his feet delivers a high kick and a high energy amazing performance full of hits..brilliant just brilliant. Festival veterans (they've played before) Hector Bizerk make a return appearance to the Scooter tent this year and absolutely nail it with an exciting hard-hitting performance.
Before the ritual burning of The Wickerman effigy there was a choice of headliners Example on the main stage or veteran garage band The Sonics in the Scooter tent……no contest The Sonics demanded my lens and my attention and what a band they are, these guys despite their aherm!! advancing years can rock and for me were the outstanding act at this years festival.
Boom…fizz…bang …whizz and the impressive Phoenix Wickerman sculpture is reduced to a pile of glowing embers with the usual impressive firework show and the festival for many is over and the throngs of people head for the gates unless of coarse your off to the dance tent ….
Rumours are circulating that this will be the last Wickerman Festival, lets hope these are not true as this festival has become a regular date in many peoples calendar and provides an escape from the rigours of modern life at least for a couple of days

I am planning to make revenue from my startup purely from affiliate agreements/ advertising. Is google adwords the best advertising option available on a site? which affiliate programs are best, are there popular ones i should stay clear of?
I'd suggest that "best" depends on who you're targeting and what your conversion goals are. Have a look at Facebook ads, I've had better performance there recently.
you may go for google adwords and try to find out your potential consumer audience. going for a selective approach in your product line marketting would help you out.
That's a great question! If your budget aligns with a PPC setup I say go for it.
If you're looking for more organic and economical options I'd recommend using social med Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
The best type of marketing content is going to be video, picture 2nd and content last. If you do decide to go the Adwords direction I've got some people who can help you with that.
For more information regarding the right marketing channel read http://cauvee.me/2015/11/20/whats-the-right-marketing-strategy-early-stage-issues/.
If I can be of any more help feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or call me.
Adwords is usually, together with branded SEO, the top performing channel. But it will only be the best for each advertiser depending on many factors: competitors & competitive advantage (if your competitors biddings are very high, or if your product will not have a good conversion rate), type of market (if your product is related to keywords that nobody search or if it has a high search volume), web structrure (if you have different pages related to different potential searches which can bring traffic to your website, as it will improve quality score, reduce cpcs, and improve conversion rate), etc etc.
Regarding affiliate program, it depends on industry and region/country, and the type of affiliates/actions you will ned

combing, process that follows carding in the preparation of fibers for spinning, lays the fibers parallel, and removes noils (short fibers). The modern combing machine is a specialized carding machine. Combing produces a fine sliver suitable for drawing out and spinning into strong, smooth yarn. The process, used for long staple cottons and worsted yarn, is expensive, since up to 25% of the card sliver is eliminated. Hackling is a form of combing, often by hand, used for linen.

Dian Hymer's recent article in Inman News on pre-listing home inspections drives home some great points. At a time when sellers are sensitive about prices she asks whether is it worthwhile to spend the extra $400-$1000 dollars for home inspections.
On the Matt Fetick Real Estate team - serving Pennsylvania and Delaware, the answer, transaction after transaction, is a resounding, yes. We want our sellers and buyers to be educated about the property condition before they enter into a contract. It also cuts down on negotiations.
A recent listing in Hockessin, Delaware, is the perfect example. During the pre-list inspection a crack was discovered in the foundation and the seller took care of it, and disclosed it.
Discovering such a defect during a buyer's inspection while the contract is in play can send a red flag to the lender if price is renegotiated, or it could send the buyer running to the next listing.
Most commonly, buyers and their agents will over price the estimated cost to fix a problem (to be on the safe side) and the seller loses out. Much better to identify the problem, fix it and price the property accordingly.
In our example, the property sold with multiple offers in three weeks. And , it went to the pickiest buyer. As a buyer's agent, I appreciate having those inspections to pass along to my clients. A recent example was an estate sale in Malvern, Pa. In this case, there was just to much work for a first-time home buyer to tackle so they passed.
Home inspection foundation to roof and what's in between, It's what they can see, with a few exceptions and you want to make sure that access is available to attic and crawl spaces, as well as that AC and heat are up and running, ready to be tested.
In some parts of our selling area, septic systems are common with larger properties. This is a separate inspection and can be a clostly fix. A pre-list inspection means the seller can pick the inspector and when it comes to septics in our areas, there is one name that makes people quake in their shoes. If a seller has her to the pre-list inspection, there's not too much doubt about the veracity of the results.
Hymer also brings up the case when something is disclosed to the buyer, but they go ahead and ask. A house I had listed in Glen Mills had older supports in the garage and while the buyers asked, the sellers said no and the buyers removed their contingency.

'It's almost like the team brewed it especially for me' - Norfolk brew to feature at Great British Beer Festival
PUBLISHED: 16:18 12 July 2018 | UPDATED: 21:10 12 July 2018
A Norfolk brewery will be featured at the biggest beer festival in the country - partly thanks to a team member having to go gluten free.
The Norfolk Brewhouse, based in Hindringham in north Norfolk, will have one of its beers, Moon Gazer Pacific Pale Ale, representing the region at this year's Great British Beer Festival.
However, it may never have happened had not one of its team been diagnosed with coeliac disease.
About a year ago Cathy Waller, who has worked at the brewery for five years, was told by doctors to cut gluten out of her diet, and that included the brewery beers.
David Holliday, of the Norfolk Brewhouse, said: "When Cathy was diagnosed as gluten intolerant it really made an impression on us, as we were able to see first-hand someone who was so passionate about beer suddenly having that passion denied.
"The brewery came up with a plan to create a gluten free beer so Cathy could once again drink their beers.
"Cathy would give us a running commentary of which gluten free beers she was trying, but kept asking us why we couldn't brew a beer for her.
"Well, the challenge was laid down and we set about creating a special beer which matched Cathy's preferences, her love for soft, yet fruity golden pale ales.
"Interestingly, the beer doesn't use gluten free ingredients and has as its base Norfolk Maris Otter barley. But the addition of an enzyme reduces the gluten element to below 10 parts per million which is below the gluten free threshold.
"The result is a beer which has the same tasty, malty backbone as the brewery's other beers."
Mrs Waller said: "I just loved it straightaway. It's almost like the team brewed it especially for me.
"We decided as a team not to tell the pubs or public it was gluten free until after a few months by which time it was established as a firm favourite. This worked really well and stopped people pre-judging it."
Moon Gazer will be available at the festival, which will be held at Olympia, London from August 7-11.

Three Weeks on Net10 ATT
- I have been using cell phones since 1994 and I have never been more satisfied with the actual service than I am now.
Customer Service Reps are not the best but for $85 a month for two phones, it can not be beat. I am one happy camper06-26-2013 10:07 PM
- Yes it can, T-Mobile $30 a month plan x 2 at $60 a month.

- False...he can actually talk on his phone (not limited to 100 minutes) and he's using the broader coverage of AT&T which is way better than T-Mobile. It's cool you like your plan. But let's not pretend it's the best out there. I got on it just to test out T-Mobile and I ran through the 100 minutes in the first 3 days of the month like most people would. Net10 gives unlimited talk and text. Most people still use their cell phones to talk and not type everything. The $30/month T-Mobile plan is a niche plan.
I know this from the 4 months I was on T-M.06-27-2013 02:17 PMLike 1
- Happy Net10 ATT customer here. Came from big red gave up unlimited data. Only have 1.5gb hard capped with Net10 ATT but if you use WiFi smart 1.5gb is manageable. Net10 customer service is ok. There technical support is a whole other story.
Tried Tmo but like already said I use my phone to make calls. Unlimited voice is a must have. 100 minuets is not enough. Tried the VoIP thing but just to much to manage. I just want to dial the phone not worry if my VoIP is on or I have a good data connection.06-27-2013 04:24 PM
- Sounds good. I was not familiar with Net 10 and no info was posted in the original post. Also I was referring to the other $30 plan which included 1500 minutes talk time.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 206-27-2013 06:13 PM
- Add one more happy Net10 AT&T Nexus 4 customer. I tried TMo but I got zero coverage in my house and not much better elsewhere.
Being able to buy cheap refill cards on eBay makes it even better.06-28-2013 12:33 PM
- You can throw me on the list too for Net10 satisfied customers. My experience is very similar to those mentioned above. More than anything else it comes down to needing coverage indoors. @pontiac005's mention of Tmo $30 plan is a great if you don't need data and you are satisfied with Tmo's coverage.06-28-2013 07:19 PM
- I also have had very good service with Net10 on AT&T. I actually use this line as my 2nd phone which I mainly use for keeping up with other OS's. I normally switch it between a WP8 device (currently a Lumia 521, but had a Lumia 920) and an iPhone 5. I have T-Mobile's $30 plan in my Nexus 4, which is my primary phone. Due to coverage where I live and the 100 minutes on T-Mobile, I'm tempted to switch my main line to Net10, but the data is holding me back. I do some video streaming, and most months 1.5 GBs wouldn't be enough, not to mention Net10's view towards streaming.06-28-2013 07:57 PM
- In planning on switching (currently on ATT, but am SIM unlocked), and I have to device between Net10, and AIO Wireless.
How is the service on Net10? 4G? Good affordable plans?
Tapped from my Nexus 10.106-28-2013 08:11 PM
- I'm into my 3rd month on NET10 using ATT an am very satisfied thus far with my service. For $50/month you can't beat it. I tried TMo on Solevei but found TMo sucked in my area. If you use WiFi were ever you can like I do the 1.5 gig data limit is no issue. I normally use less than 3/4 gig. I debated a long time on giving up the great service coverage of Big Red but there's no looking back for me being on a Nexus phone on a prepaid service month to month with no contact locking me up for 2 years!

I don't know about AIO. AIO's original announcement was that they would limit speeds to 4 mbps, but I think I just read within the last week that they are going to carry an LTE phone so it would seem will have 4G LTE.
AT&T Go Phone prepaid does allow 4G LTE. You might check them out. I think it's $60 for unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of data.06-28-2013 08:42 PM

I looked on the At&T site about the plan, but it doesn't seem like they sell a SIM card with it. Do I just buy any old ATT micro-SIM card, buy a cheap GOpPHONE just for the card, or what?
Thanks.06-29-2013 12:48 AM
- So, I did further research, and on AIO it is 55 for unlimited talk web and text. I did see that they throttle at the 2.5 GB limit, but it's only down to regular 3G speeds (~256kbps). I will have to look further into Net10..
GoPhone looks like a premium candidate right now. Thank you all for the input!

One service is better over another if you get your money worth out of it. I'd basically be waisting $10 extra a month paying for the new ATT GoPhone service. Others who stream data a lot more off WiFi than I do it would be worth the $10.

I do stream a TON of my music, as I have almost all my music in the cloud, and I am subscribed to the Google Play streaming service (I mean c'mon.. 8 bucks a month for unlimited streaming?.. Can't pass it up.)

- I'm signed on to Google Play streaming service for the $8. Signed onto it the day they started the new service. I really like it. I already used their cloud service with all my music there and not on my phone or my N7. So yes I steam music, but most if my listening time is at home when I'm on WiFi. Again my less need for LTE speed or a lot of GB data service. So what I saved on my phone service getting off of Verizon and going to NET10 made it affordable for me to use something like Google Play.

- Thank you sooooo much for the AT&T tip. I didn't realise that they had changed their plans. I too have been a 90% happy customer with Net10, but that final 10% is down to MMS - I have a Lumia 920 and try as I might, I can't get their settings to work. The best I have been able to do is send MMSs but cannot receive them. I have scoured forums endlessly for a solution, and as you can probably imagine Net10 customer service/tech support is a non-starter. I'll be moving to the $60 AT&T plan because the peace of mind not having to deal with that (and the LTE and the extra 0.5GB) is worth that extra $10-15.
I'm 2 weeks in, but won't be renewing. Terrible way to do business for Net10 if you lose customers for something as simple as this.07-14-2013 10:04 AM
- I am also a big fan of Net10. I finally got my MMS working using the Tweakker App.https://tinyurl.com/kwclnco
Speeds are 2-6down and 1-2 up although I've seen 4 up before. Fast enough for anything I do.
I also use Chrome Beta that has compression for web pages that saves almost 50% when surfing. Helps manage usage. I use WiFi when I can and keep usage below 1G/month. Coming from Straight Talk, I kept being throttled. Hasn't happened with Net10. Going on 3 months now.07-16-2013 11:08 AM
- I got rid of Net10 on AT&T finally today. If you can get AIO I recommend going with them. Acutally, I HIGHLY recommend against Net10. I thought I did my research but the internet connection on Net 10 has been awful since I started with them. They are having problems with the APN and if you go to their forums right now you will see dozens if not hundreds of people complaining. I just simply gave up, it was so unreliable. I live in a strong coverage area for AT&T and it is not network congestion it is something wrong with NET10. I got my AIO Sim and everything has been 10 times better. I should've done AIO to begin with. Plus stupid Net10 keeps removing my autorenew feature and SPAMs you all of the time. Garbage!08-06-2013 03:44 PM
- I know this thread is almost dead, but thought I would point out that Net10 lifted their data cap:
- Forum
- Google Hardware, Services & Apps
- More Google Devices & Services
- Google Nexus 4

Walking with Kids Outdoors
Our 1st grade daughter recently brought home from school the words to a Sesame Street song by Ed Sheeran called, "Two Different Worlds". The basic idea: the rules at Home and the rules at School are different; neither set of rules are good or bad, but they are just different depending on the circumstances.
Likewise, when we walk in the woods with kids, there is a third set of rules. But of course, kids don't really know these rules if they haven't been taught. They especially don't know these rules if they have not spent much time in nature.
When I first started venturing into the Lowcountry with my own kids, I spent a lot of time and energy with the "stop doing that / don't do this" mentality. I constantly corrected them, figuring that eventually they would get the idea as they learned these new set of rules. But there was a catch; spending most of my time disciplining and little of my time enjoying nature meant that I was reluctant to take them outdoors. Rather than returning home refreshed, I'd come home and immediately need a little "Daddy alone time".
Slowly, I re-calibrated myself. I shifted to more of a "keep them safe, but make sure they get dirty" approach; I encourage them to run and wander and explore, but preface it with my expectations for visibility, being with-in ear shot, and kindness to nature. I encourage their curiosity, sometimes provide little scavenger hunts, but avoid the "come look at this great sedge grass!" adult perspective. I model being prepared to spend time outdoors (water bottle, snack, footwear, etc.) but I don't get hung-up if they are aren't outfitted like Coyote Peterson.
I also developed a few other mental guidelines:
- Don't bother trying to keep little kids quite outdoors; remind them that animals are scared of loud noises, but don't constantly shush them.
- Be realistic about trip length and time. About an hour of activity is the right amount to start.
- Encourage them to touch and smell and look and listen closely. Remind them that tasting is not a good idea.
- Pack a compass, a pocket microscope, a pocket knife, or just pencil & paper. Any of these items encourage engagement with the surroundings.
- Listen to their needs. Try not to put off requests for food or water or using the bathroom. Avoid saying, "When we get back to the car ..." All of these requests will happen, so pack accordingly.
- When they say, "Are we there yet / When are we going home / I'm tired", reassure them you are going in that direction, and more importantly, hold their hand or give them a short ride. They are asking more for comfort than an actual answer to the question.
- At the end of the trip, ask for the things they didn't like and the things they liked the best. Maybe more importantly, encourage them to talk to other kids and adults about where they went and what they experienced.
Above all else, remember that for many kids, being in nature is a new type of world; it will take time for them to learn the rules, to know the expectations, and to appreciate the value.
It is our responsibility as adults and teachers and stewards to help them appreciate Nature, but more importantly, it is our responsibility to make sure they have access to Nature.
And when spending time together outdoors, take a peaceful approach; encourage kids to explore and run and climb and just get dirty. Encourage them to ask questions, wonder aloud, and appreciate the diversity of the natural world. After all, if you have an appreciation for the outdoors, it is likely that an adult in your life encouraged your interest and made sure that Nature was a safe, fun, and engaging.

Hebron Crossroads 9-22
"It Takes a Village. . .To Paint Fire Hydrants"
by Jeff Gill
Wednesday, Sept. 11 dawned as clear and beautiful as last year's
day began, but the end of the day was filled with hope and
gladness for 2002.
"Respond To The Call" brought together not only some 60 plus
local residents, but also more than 30 students and parents from
Mrs. Maslowski and Ms. Manter's 2nd grade class and most of the
firefighters and police officers of Hebron.
At last count, over 125 hydrants were painted and brightened, with
some left undone simply because they are about to be worked on
or turned around. The bright yellow fireplugs say clearly that we
take pride in our village and are all involved in our mutual safety
and security.
Before the service project honoring 9-11 began at noon, it was an
honor to help the HFD & HPD commemorate the losses of last
year by the old Hebron fire bell. Many of those who were gathered
around the flagpole and bell carriage at noon were found just
across the way at 6:30 pm, when the American Legion Post held
their very moving flag memorial and disposal service.
From the County Prayer Breakfast early that morning to Licking
Baptist's remembrance service in the evening, the focus was on
Patriots and progress, on rebuilding and restoring, insofar as we
can, what was lost, and building anew on solid foundations. Let
that be our goal every 9-11!
We will have another community service project next Sept. 11, of
that you can be sure.
Thanks go to so many groups and individuals that this column is
sure to miss some, but the attempt has to be made: first to the
elders and officers and members of Hebron Christian Church who
came up with the idea for "Respond To The Call" and put the plan
together; thanks to Action Pest Control, Clay's Café, Hebron Lions,
and Slater Family Farms for their contributions; and of course to
the fire and police departments for their support and involvement,
as well as to the staff of the village, especially Mindy Kester, Mike
McFarland, Jennifer McNichols, Linda Nicodemus, and Theresa
Along with Mayor Cliff Mason, Councilmembers Jim Friend, Mike
Halter, Annelle Porter, and Scott Walters were very helpful, but
some of the most helpful assistance came from their spouses,
Rose Mason, Kim Halter, Dave Porter, and Beth Walters at the
registration table. Dave went around and personally
weed-whacked all the hydrant bases so the painting could go right
down to the standpipe collar on most of them. Charla Devine of
Devine Farms, which is starting their busy season these next few
weeks, came out and took on some High St. hydrants that required
a safety guard of firemen, but she didn't seem to mind too much.
Others who served whether in painting, food, or supervision,
included: Daphne Cable, David Cable, Martha Cable, Allan Cook,
Amber Damron, Heather Damron, Marian Davis, Vivian
Dernberger, Pam DeVaul, Jeff Gill, Vern Griffith, Jared Halter,
Janice Harris, William Harris, Mary Lawrence, Ila Mason, Jeff
Mason, Julie McNichols, Tom McNichols, Joyce Meredith, Pat
Miller, Maribel Neel, Kim Ogershok, Art Ours, Patsy Ours, Helen
Parker, Dale Scheidegger, David Scheidegger, Michael
Scheidegger, Sharon Scheidegger, Jody Schoop, Anne Slater,
John W. Slater, Chad Smathers, Thelma Stadden, Josh Walters,
Connie Wildermuth, Nick Wildermuth, Tracy Wildermuth, and Jean
If we missed anyone, my apologies, but it was great having so
much help we started to lose track! And a final huge thank you to
Lt. Mike Yost, who did such a great job co-ordinating the paint and
supplies end of the whole deal.
No connection, I'm sure, but have you noticed the re-siding and
re-painting work being done by homeowners and landlords
around the village, particularly along Main and High Streets? Our
fair village just gets better looking all the time. . .
And a closing observation about service and selflessness: over at
Children's Hospital, where Kara Glaser is recovering from the
severe injuries to her leg from a few weeks back, that young lady
has been using her first few trips around the floor in a wheelchair
to give away some of her beanie babies and stuffed animals she's
received over these last two weeks. "I've got more than I need,"
Kara says, "and some of them don't have so much." We could all
do with her sense of how much is enough for ourselves, and how
best to make use of the excess. Thanks, Kara!
Jeff Gill is pastor of Hebron Christian Church and an expert at fire
hydrant identification (the Chattanooga hydrants are very different
from the Anniston AL ones close up, you know). If you have hydrant
sightings or other Hebron news, call 928-4066 or e-mail

I suspect it was conforming to the politically correct dictum which says if you don't think homosexuality is a sensible option for all, and object to children being persuaded to take it up, you are homophobic. I wrote the letter a week after Conservative MP Nick Herbert had travelled to Washington, D.C. and made a speech in which he said, among other things, that homosexual couples should be encouraged to adopt children)
Dear Sir,
As a former member of the Arun and South Downs Conservative Association, I voted to adopt Nick Herbert as the party's candidate for the last election. I was aware he was homosexual. I voted for him because he was clearly highly intelligent and articulate, with right-of-centre views which I agreed with. His sexuality was of no interest to me.
Unfortunately, during his time as my MP, Mr Herbert has gone out of his way to make his sexuality an issue. He has popped up on radio and TV pushing the idea that homosexuality is a valid and equal life style. He has claimed that the MPs expenses spotlight was turned on him because of his homosexuality. Last month he was in Washington D.C., pedalling the preposterous notion that homosexual couples should be actively encouraged to adopt children, and urging gay church marriage.
In the 1960s when laws on abortion and homosexuality were reformed, we were told that making abortion more liberal would put an end to unfortunate women dying in backstreet operations. That was true, but the reform had unintended consequences. Now we have a government-sponsored production line of more than 200,000 abortions a year. Homosexuals were being subjected to blackmail in the '60s. It was outrageous that private activity between consenting adults should be illegal. I agreed that this needed reforming too, but if I'd been told about the abortion production line, or the fact that councils across the land would now be spending huge amounts of taxpayer's money on Gay Pride events or sponsoring Gay "Marriage", I might have thought twice about this.
My advice to Mr Herbert is this. If you have any spare time after helping your constituents, why not fix the economy before indulging your personal and minority interests. No reasonable and civilised person wants homosexuals to be persecuted for their private activities, but a period of silence on this subject from you would be welcome.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, when asked what do about outing gays in the military said, "Don't ask, don't tell". That should be our watchword if the subject of anyone's sexuality comes up in the conversation.
Yours sincerely
Neil Winton
