When was the last time you thought of yourself as wealthy?
As a believer, incalculable wealth is yours. But as you're hit with trials, particularly the ones you face solely because of your faith, it's possible to lose sight of the heavenly riches ahead, as well as the amazing resources God makes available to you right now.
Like the believers in the apostle Peter's day, you need encouragement--you need to be reminded about the staggering inheritance that's yours in Christ. In Our Great Salvation, John MacArthur shows you how God protects that future inheritance for you, how God protects you for your inheritance, and how immeasurably rich your inheritance really is.
Whatever you're facing today--from nagging stress to profound trials--this is a series that will give you joy and the perspective you need to thrive.

Introduction to Reye syndrome:
Children's aspirin used to be one of the most common medicines given to children. Today it is not recommended, and Reye syndrome is the reason why.
What is Reye syndrome?
Reye syndrome is a serious illness of the liver and brain. The mitochondria within the cells stop functioning properly, leading to destruction of the liver. The resulting increase of ammonia in the blood damages the brain.
Who gets Reye syndrome?
Most Reye syndrome occurs in children between the ages of 4 and 12. It most commonly follows a viral infection such as influenza, adenovirus, or chickenpox.
After children's aspirin began to be used less frequently, Reye syndrome began to disappear. This is why many believe that Reye syndrome is caused by the use of aspirin during a febrile illness in children. However, it also became less common in countries where children's aspirin was still in use, suggesting that the cause may be more complex than we understand.
What are the symptoms of Reye syndrome?
In classic Reye syndrome, the story has two parts. First the child has a viral illness – usually influenza, adenovirus, or chickenpox. The child apparently begins to improve; the fever lessens. Then, suddenly, within 5 to 7 days of the beginning of the illness, vomiting starts. The vomiting happens every one or two hours, and may last for a day or two.
The child may be irritated, delirious, or lethargic – or each in turn. Seizures, coma, and death may follow.
Is Reye syndrome contagious?
The initial viral illness is contagious, but Reye syndrome itself does not appear to be contagious.
How long does Reye syndrome last?
Most of the damage in Reye syndrome is done within a day or two of the onset of vomiting. How long the child will remain incapacitated depends on the severity of the illness. Many children recover completely, but many do not.
How is Reye syndrome diagnosed?
The diagnosis is suspected based on the characteristic time course of classic Reye syndrome. It may be confirmed by blood and spinal fluid tests, and sometimes a liver biopsy is performed.
How is Reye syndrome treated?
Children with Reye syndrome are hospitalized, often in intensive care units. Treatment is aimed at preventing pressure in the skull from building up and supporting children to allow their bodies to recover.
How can Reye syndrome be prevented?
Avoiding unnecessary aspirin use in children may help to prevent Reye syndrome, especially in children with adenovirus, influenza, or chickenpox. Children with a febrile illness or those recovering from a febrile illness should not be given aspirin unless it is first discussed with their pediatrician.
Aspirin-containing products (i.e. medications with the ingredients acetylsalicylic acid, acetylsalicylate, salicylic acid, or salicylate) should also be avoided in children. Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) is an example of a common over-the-counter medication which many parents do not know contains aspirin.

Hosie questioned Scalia's comparison between having a moral objection to sodomy and having a moral objection toward things like bestiality or murder. Scalia defended his comparison as a form of argument.
"If we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder? Can we have it against these other things?" Scalia asked, explaining his dissent.
Uh, let me explain this, asshole. Unprosecuted/condoned murders would utterly destroy society. Further, murder, obviously directly harms another. Neither applies to homosexuality, whether one "approves" or not.

Leadership and Student Development Offices
Lutz Center for Community Service
The Lutz Center for Community Service provides numerous opportunities for students to engage themselves in the greater Lehigh Valley community. As a student run office, under the guidance of the Director for Community Service, the staff provides individuals and groups with an array of volunteer and service-learning projects such as after school tutoring programs, nursing home visits, blood drives, working with animal shelters and restocking at the local food bank. The flexibility in our programs allows all students, clubs, organizations, faculty, staff and college departments, regardless of time commitments and interests, to participate in a variety of service activities. During the spring semester, the center sponsors an Alternative Spring Break program, which provides a unique opportunity to travel while serving others in need.
The Lutz Center for Community Service is also home to Cedar Crest College's America Reads and Counts Federal Work-study tutoring program. Students who qualify for this program are matched with a local elementary or middle school aged student to help them improve reading and math skills.
In addition, the service component of the college's ethics requirement is also housed at the Lutz Center for Community Service. The ethics requirement provides students with the opportunity to study the major theories of western ethics and social justice while exploring their own values and beliefs within the context of an individual's responsibility to the community. The course is designed to enhance the process of learning and self-exploration by enabling the students to put into immediate practice the ideas they discuss in the classroom. The course is comprised of two interdependent elements: a classroom component that meets to discuss the theories of ethics, community and social justice and a community partnership placement where students provide a needed service that benefits the community directly. Courses that fulfill this requirement are designated as ETL courses.

Human after all
Davis's costly error proves O's undoing
Twins 6, Orioles 5
You hear it a lot, but baseball really is a game of inches. It'll remind you of this on a near-nightly basis. Taking Saturday evening's matchup between the Orioles and Minnesota Twins as an example, there was the inch (or fractional inch) by which a tailing Jim Johnson fastball was adjudged to have missed the corner inside, on Justin Morneau; and so rather than fall into a hole, the Twins slugger found himself enjoying a couple of hitter's counts, and wound up delivering what would hold up as a game-winning RBI single up the middle.
And of course, prior to that, there was the inch or two that separated Chris Davis's first-baseman's mitt from the infield dirt at Camden Yards, which permitted a pedestrian Aaron Hicks grounder through into the outfield, which extended what should've been a quick ninth inning for the Oriole closer, which may have contributed to fatigue on Johnson's part … and which, in its own way, pointed up the fine margins separating hero from goat, in big-league ball.
So, sadly, on to the bullet points …
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK: First off, Nick Markakis had a heck of a game, finishing up 4 for 5 with a pair of doubles, and Machado (2 for 4 plus a walk) scored three times … but what I really want to address — optimistically! — is the bullpen. In addition to McFarland, Darren O'Day enjoyed something of a return to form in this one, working around the error by Wieters and a hit batsman to retire the Twins without further incident. And ironically Johnson, a victim of hard luck, had looked far better than he did in the two games he saved against Tampa: everything with nice movement and sink, everything inducing either swings and misses or balls pounded into the ground. On paper the bullpen takes this loss; in actual point of fact it had its best game of the young 2013 season.

Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, it will surprise no one to hear that the FTQ, a union, has been financially supporting the Bloc Québécois for over a decade. The Bloc Québécois and the FTQ are allies. Everyone knows that.
Up until March 6, 2009, the senior director of the FTQ was Jocelyn Dupuis. It has been widely reported in the media that Mr. Dupuis allegedly has ties to organized crime in Quebec. What we did not know is that this same Jocelyn Dupuis made financial contributions directly to the riding association of the leader of the Bloc Québécois, in Laurier—Sainte-Marie.
The question is simple: does the leader of the Bloc Québécois know where this money came from? Quebeckers deserve to know.
Religious Freedom
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, between 1979 and 2003, Saddam Hussein ruled over the people of Iraq through the use of fear, intimidation and terror. While Saddam Hussein seemed to enjoy inflicting atrocities upon the whole of the Iraqi people, he had a special affinity for persecuting Iraqi Christians, like those living in Nineveh.
In the time following Saddam Hussein's conviction as a war criminal, the people of Iraq have gained much. However, despite this progress, there is still much to do in this emerging democracy.
Discrimination against Iraqi Christians continues to prevent children from attending classes and their parents from fully engaging in society. To put it another way, Iraq's shameful history of human rights suppression has still not ended and this can be clearly seen as a result of the recent killings.
I again call upon the government to use every diplomatic tool to ensure the basic ideals of religious freedom and tolerance are respected and protected for all Iraqis.
Iraqi Christians deserve our support and our protection. I believe that by speaking out and through constructive engagement, we can help make this a reality.

November 23rd, 2010 / 2:10 p.m.
Laurie Hawn Edmonton Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government strongly supports the 80,000 Canadian families who work in Canada's world-class aerospace industry.
The F-35 purchase will help these families and new families by providing thousands of potential new jobs and billions of dollars in economic benefits.
However, if the Liberal leader has his way, these jobs and benefits will be gone. Individual companies and industry organizations in Canada's aerospace industry are urging members of the House to put jobs and growth ahead of politics by voting against the Liberal leader's plan to cancel this important program.
The F-35 is a win-win for the Canadian Forces and the Canadian economy. The air force will be replacing an aircraft that has reached the end of its lifespan and Canada's aerospace industry will benefit from opportunities that will create highly skilled and well-paying jobs for Canadians for years to come.
It is time for the Liberal leader to put Canadian Forces and Canadian jobs ahead of politics and support a program that is good for Canada.
We are still paying for Jean Chrétien's horror movie about the Sea King replacement. We cannot afford to go there again.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, Ontarians remember only too well when Mike Harris' minister of education said that he would create a crisis in education so that the Conservatives could then implement their right-wing agenda in schools.
Now the federal finance minister has taken a page out of the same play book and is bringing what he learned from Mike Harris straight to Parliament Hill. First, he has made sure that the financial cupboard is bare by creating the biggest deficit in Canadian history and now he is telling Canadians that it would be irresponsible to spend money on them.
He has had no problem finding new money for his pet projects: $16 billion in untendered fighter jet contracts; $13 billion to build prisons for unreported crimes; and $6 billion for additional corporate tax cuts.
However, for hard-working Canadians and cash-strapped municipalities, the finance minister says that there is nothing left.
That is simply not good enough. The innocent victims of this recession who have lost their jobs, lost their EI and lost their retirement savings cannot tighten their belts any further.
I would invite the finance minister to come to Hamilton and talk to the locked out workers of Local 1005, to seniors whose pensions cannot keep up with the HST, to homeowners whose basements are flooded by broken water mains and to students who are drowning in debt. It is time to put their priorities first. It is time to remember whose money he has been spending.

Bernard Généreux Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, today Parliament will vote on the Liberal opposition motion calling on the government to cancel the purchase of the 65 F-35 fighter jets.
The F-35 program is good for the Canadian Forces and the economy. The forces will be able to replace jets that have reached the end of their lifespan, and the purchase of the F-35s will give Canadian aerospace companies privileged access to billions of dollars in contracts for work on thousands of jets in the global F-35 supply chain, which is much more than if we limited the operations of these companies to Canadian aircraft only.
If it were up to the Liberals, they would cancel the F-35 program and jeopardize tens of thousands of jobs in our aerospace industry. The industry and the workers must not be subject to the Liberals' political games.
Our Conservative government strongly supports the 80,000 Canadians and Quebeckers and their families who work in Canada's aerospace industry.
Montreal Alouettes
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Daniel Paillé Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Montreal Alouettes advanced to the Grey Cup by literally crushing the Toronto Argonauts 48 to 17. The one-sided game took place on Sunday at the Olympic stadium in the magnificent riding of Hochelaga.
Thanks to spectacular team play, the Alouettes handily dominated their opponent. The support of 58,000 fans was also a factor.
This is the Alouettes' third consecutive trip to the Grey Cup, which they won in 2009. This year's championship game is a rematch, as Marc Trestman's team will again face the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Bloc Québécois hopes that the Montreal Alouettes will return victorious from Edmonton next Sunday and parade before their fans with the precious cup in hand. As in other matters, Montreal knows how to beat Toronto.
Canadian Museums Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Andrew Kania Brampton West, ON
Mr. Speaker, Monday is Canadian Museums Day, a day to draw awareness to the importance of Canada's museums and public art galleries to the Canadian cultural landscape.
Canada's museums and public art galleries preserve our rich history, help shape the Canadian identity and educate visitors about the importance of tolerance and understanding in our society.
Besides representing the very souls of our vibrant communities, Canada's 2,500 museums, which include everything from art galleries to science centres to zoos, are key to the economy. This sector employs 24,000 Canadians and contributes $17 billion in tourism revenue.
On Canadian Museums Day, I encourage all Canadians to consider the role that culture plays in their communities and to become more active supporters of heritage so that the Canadian story can continue to live on through the generations.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition continues to make reckless and uncosted spending promises, reckless spending promises like a 45-day work year.
Who would pay for reckless Liberal spending? Hard-working Canadian taxpayers, that is who. Canadian families would be forced to send more and more of their money to fund Liberal schemes and bloated government. It is no wonder the Liberal leader calls himself a tax and spend Liberal and publicly demands that federal taxes must go up.
Our Conservative government believes in lower taxes that help create jobs and economic growth. That is why we lowered the family tax bill by over $3,000 under our Conservative government. That is why we helped create over 430,000 new jobs since last July.
While Liberals talk about massive new spending and higher taxes, we are looking out for Canadian families by getting back to balance and lowering taxes.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative MP for Saskatoon—Humboldt admitted recently that the government was spending like it was Christmas, and he is certainly right: billions on prisons, billions on single-source stealth fighters and $300 million to clean up the mess it made on Camp Mirage. However, when it comes to the Nortel pensioners, disabled pensioners whose benefits will run out at Christmas, the government starts behaving like Scrooge.
How does the government explain its reckless spending and its heartless choices to disabled pensioners?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we have considerable concern for the employees of Nortel. The Leader of the Opposition should understand that what is happening is due to a court settlement that occurred under legislation in place at the time of the Nortel bankruptcy.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, that answer will mystify the people who are struggling.
I have spoken about these pensioners many times. They do not understand the government's priorities: single-source stealth fighters, prisons, millions of dollars to clean up their messes. There are solutions to the Nortel pensioners' problem.
Why does the government show so little compassion and judgment on this issue?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. We have a lot of compassion for the pensioners in this situation, but the reality is that the outcome was decided in a court-approved settlement agreement. That was signed in accordance with the bankruptcy legislation in effect at the time.
Public Works and Government Services
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, let me raise another issue. In sworn testimony before a House of Commons committee, explosive allegations were made about how the contract was awarded for the renovation of the West Block.
For a year now, we have been trying to get to the bottom of this sorry affair and now there are lurid allegations about the minister and his cashmere coat. Why is the minister still in his job? When will the Prime Minister tell Canadians the truth about this affair?
Public Works and Government Services
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the facts are very well known in this case. Officials have testified there is absolutely no political interference in the contracts. In fact, the individual the leader of the Liberal Party is quoting is an individual who lost the contract.
As for the minister's coat, the minister had an $800 coat stolen. He reported that to the police.
Public Works and Government Services
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, let us talk about the facts. This morning, Paul Sauvé said under oath that he was asked to pay $300,000 to have access to a system organized by the Conservatives that Quebeckers did not have access to.
Gilles Varin asked for $25,000 and asked that the rest be divided between other contacts directly related to his renovation contract, as a kickback.
Senator Pierre-Claude Nolin, his assistant, Hubert Pichet, and Bernard Côté, when he was the assistant to former minister Fortier, were linked to the contract being awarded.
His current political minister is aware of this.
Why is this minister still a member of the government?

Numerous firearms bills debated during North Dakota Legislature
At least 16 proposed laws or resolutions dealing with firearms are being debated during the current North Dakota legislative session. Proposals range from allowing firearms in schools and churches to a rebuke of an International Arms Treaty.
In a state where rights of gun owners have always been strong, proposed legislation that would have eliminated certain semi-automatic firearms and high capacity magazines were hastily withdrawn.
Among the most strongly worded documents is a concurrent resolution relating to consideration of a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in the U.S. Senate. Included in the resolution is, "Whereas, the harmful potential of the Treaty led a bipartisan coalition of 51 United States senators to express the strongest expression of concern and opposition on the potentially devastating consequences of the Treaty to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a letter dated July 26, 2012."
The resolution also contains the wording, "Be it further resolved, that this resolution shall serve as notice to the federal government that the state of North Dakota hereby claims, for its citizenry, the natural right and the codified right for both the state militia and the individual citizens of North Dakota to keep and bears arms, in compliance with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Constitution of North Dakota's Declaration of Rights…"
The concurrent resolution was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Government and Veterans Affairs Committee. A concurrent resolution is usually proposed for the purpose of clarifying a position on an issue or event and does not have the force of law. No action has been taken.
A proposed bill that would forbid "state governmental entities from providing aid and assistance to the federal government or any other governmental entity for the investigation, enforcement, and prosecution of federal firearms laws not in force as of January 1, 2013" received a "do pass" recommendation from the House Judiciary Committee. HB1183 has been placed on the House calendar for a vote. If the bill passes the House it will be forwarded to the Senate.
House Bill 1215 would amend the North Dakota Century Code to allow school boards to hold executive sessions for the purpose of discussing of policy allowing concealed weapons license holders to possess a firearm in a school. The bill received a "do pass" recommendation from the House Judiciary Committee and will receive a vote from House members.
Stun guns devices that deliver high voltage intended to render recipients harmless are currently illegal to carry concealed unless the individual possesses a concealed weapons permit. Senate Bill 2239 would amend current law to allow any individual to carry a "device that uses direct contact to deliver voltage for the defense of an individual." The bill passed the Senate 44-1 and has been forwarded to the House.
As proposed, House Bill 1467 would prohibit the governor, during an emergency, from suspending or limiting the sale of firearms and ammunition. The bill received a "do pass" recommendation in the Judiciary Committee and has been forwarded to the full House.
House Bill 1241 has been introduced for the purpose of clarifying who may carry a firearm at a gaming site, namely private security personnel. The bill passed the House on second reading 85-0 and is now under consideration in the Senate.
Senate Bill 2145 and House Bill 1366 relate to the carrying of a firearm at public gatherings. SB2145 swept through the Senate 46-0 and is in the hands of the House Judiciary Committee. HB 1366 received a "do not pass" recommendation. House Bill 1282, relating to using suppressors for hunting, passed the House on second reading 90-2 and is currently under consideration in the Senate.

About the Author: Tim Piergalski serves as Vice Consul at the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico.
The holiday season in Monterrey is a bit strange for a diplomat from Chicago. Sure, there are the gaudy Christmas trees on the medians of the major thoroughfares, the Christmas advertising jingles on the radio, and the commercial binge that we're used to, but sweating while eating outside on Thanksgiving and barbecuing on Christmas aren't things that are usually in my holiday repertoire. Where was all the snow?
I suppose snow isn't something one should expect to find in this region during any season, even though Monterrey often seems very American. But for someone who had never experienced a warm Christmas, I found the pre-Christmas buildup to be quite different. Normally a procrastinator, I outdid myself this year -- and I don't think it's entirely my fault. The natural cues were all missing. In every place I'd previously lived, 85 degrees and sunny meant that I had at least three months before I should start Christmas shopping. In Monterrey, it meant that if your packages hadn't already been shipped, they would arrive late. Highs of 50 or so and trying to find where I had put my sweaters last spring usually means that I have a month before I should start shopping. I'm still waiting for that cue. So, as I excused myself for procrastinating and instead went running in the fantastic weather, Christmas snuck up on me.
It did not, however, sneak up on the consulate. We held a holiday party two weeks prior. Many of the officers went home for the actual holiday, as children are not currently permitted at post due to the security situation. However, for those who stayed, the Christmas barbeque filled them with cheer. Arrachera (flank steak) was the main attraction, augmented by grilled peppers, a barbequed chicken dip, and some homemade eggnog. It finally did feel like Christmas -- even if it also felt like July!

Eleven Reasons to use Haskell as a Mathematician
(1) Haskell is Functional
Functions are the bread and butter of mathematics so it makes sense to use a programming language in which functions are first class objects. It's not at all unusual for a mathematician to take a function of two arguments, say f(.,.), and construct from it a function of a single variable defined by f_x(y) = f(x,y). Computer scientists call such a thing a closure - it's a function constructed by supplying values for some, but not all, of the arguments of another functions. It's one of the most natural operations in the world and yet it's actually quite horrible to construct such a thing in languages like Fortran, C or C++. It's slightly cleaner in C++ because you can use objects and templates to simulate closures, but the syntax is still pretty hideous. (I know there are libraries that make this even easier - but they do so by implementing a functional language as a 'domain specific language' within C++, essentially making my point for me.) Here's how you do this in Haskell: you write "f x". The way it works is quite neat. Given sets A, B and C there is a natural bijection between the set of functions AxB->C and the set of functions A->C^B. So rather than write functions of multiple arguments Haskell function always take one argument and return the function that operates on the rest of the arguments. At first this might seem like a bad idea because functions of multiple arguments are now, in some sense, a second class object. But it's not a problem at all. To apply the function f to the arguments 1 and 2 we simply write "f 1 2".
To get an idea of how horrible it can be to work with functions without functional programming consider the code in Numerical Recipes in C. Most of their code is 'functional' in character in the sense that it is intended to perform operations on functions. But look at how you have to make use of horrible void * pointers to pass in those extra arguments to simulate closures.
(2) Haskell Insulates You
As a mathematician you're more interested in solving the problem than dealing with the idiosyncracies of the hardware and issues like memory management. Haskell does a great job of insulating you from the underlying hardware so that you don't have to worry about these things. Languages like Java aren't too bad at this either. C++ is terrible, if you decide you don't want to manage memory yourself you can use shared_ptr<> objects and turn your code into a horribly unreadable mess.
(3) Haskell Performs Well
It's surprising how well Haskell peforms. You might think "if every time I add a to b it has to construct a temporary intermediate object that represents the function that adds a to a number and then apply that function to b it's going to be slow". But that is not the way to look at things. Haskell doesn't simply execute code by working top to bottom, left to right through your source code. The compiler (itself written in Haskell) is pretty sophisticated and frequently performs comparably to C. It's generally not as fast as C, but it's usually in the same league. The Haskell compiler rips apart your code and reconstitutes it as an executable in ways that are quite surprising. In Haskell you can often write code using idioms that feel natural, but are generally considered slow in other languges, without performance impact. One example is in list handling. Often you want to return a temporary list of objects and perform some operation on them. In many languages there is an overhead in making such a list, only to take it apart again when you want to operate on the actual elements so you instead have to restructure your code so that no list is constructed. In Haskell the compiler will often figure out that your list is temporary and do the restructuring behind the scenes for you.
(3) Haskell is Declarative
Mathematicians like to spend their time saying what is the case rather than thinking in terms of sequences of operations. If b = f(a) and c = f(b) then it doesn't matter if you say c = f(b) and then b = f(a). Order is irrelevant. In an imperative language like C it matters to a large extent what order your code is written in because a statement like b = f(a) is an instruction. In Haskell you aren't giving a list of instructions so much as stating what is true. This fits much better with the way that mathematicians work. Haskell can take care of some of the details of precisely what order the operations are going to be performed in and hide those details from you.
(4) Haskell is Lazy
This goes hand-in-hand with Haskell being declarative. Haskell only computes what it needs to compute in order to get the answer you require. It tries not to do unnecessary work. Languages that aren't lazy like this are called 'strict' languages. In a strict language, say, if you required the first component of the cross product of a vector, you would typically compute all three components of the vector and throw away the second and third components. If your code needed to be efficient you'd probably end up writing special purpose code to compute just the first component of the cross product. You'd be unable to reuse your cross product code. Mathematicians don't want to do this. They want to say that x is the first component of the cross product because it's true statement and not worry about what exactly gets implemented when. This laziness is ubiquitous throughout all of Haskell.
One place that laziness really pays off is in working with lists. Haskell has absolutely no problem working with infinite lists as long as you don't actually try to look at all of the elements. Instead of evaluating all of the elements it simply retains enough information to construct as many elements as are needed. Computing the elementwise sum, say, of two infinite lists is completely straightforward. And performing computations with power series, say, where the later elements are functions of the earlier elements, is absolutely straightforward. You don't have to check to see if you've computed enough of the earlier elements to compute the later one. Haskell does all that for you. If you want to see the first ten elements of the final infinite list you can just ask for them. You don't need to decide in advance how many elements you want and build that into the code from the beginning.
(5) Haskell is good at Datastructures
Haskell is good at dealing with datastructures. Often mathematicians don't realise that they are using datastructures all the time. But they are. For example a group is a set equipped with functions to perform multiplication and inversion as well as a singled out element, the identitiy. Haskell makes it very easy to work with structures that are tuples of objects like this. It's also very easy to build one datastructure out of another and even specify rules about datastructures. For example a matrix is a two-dimensional array of objects. But if the objects form a ring then so does the matrix. This kind of statement is easy to express in Haskell making it well suited to working with algebraic structures. If you've defined formal power series over a ring and you've defined the ring of polynomials over another ring it's trivial to build the ring of power series over polynomials over the integers, say. What's more, the compiler can tell you when the structure you're trying to create doesn't make sense, for example if you were to try to multiply two matrices whose underlying elements can't be multiplied. A programming language like Mathematica is very poor at this as it doesn't really distinguish between datatypes. You'll only discover your error when the program is actually running and it tries to multiply the underlying objects. Haskell also uses type inference. You don't have to explicitly tell it the type of something because it can often figure it out for itself. If you see the number '1' in a textbook what does it mean? Is it an element of N, Z, R, Q, R[sqrt(2)], C or some other completely different algebraic structure? It could be any of these things depending on the context. The same is true in Haskell, it'll figure out what you mean by '1' using completely unambiguous rules. This means that you don't have to use a different symbol for '1' in different contexts, and yet you don't have to laboriously state what you mean every time you use it.
And rather than having an ad-hoc system of datastructure types Haskell's is algebraic.
(6) Haskell is Compact
Not in the topological sense. Haskell code tends to be much shorter than its counterpart written in other languages. There is little extraneous verbiage and the verbiage that does exist is very powerful. This is more than a space saving exercise. Consider the history of calculus in n-dimensions. When Maxwell first wrote down his equations of electrodynamics they took up most of a page. WIth the introduction of vector notation they were simplified. By using the notation of exterior calculus they were simplified to dF = 0, d*F = *J. This isn't just typographically simpler but conceptually simpler. You can see immediately how you might generalise to n-dimensions instead of three, you can see trivially that d*J=0 from d^2 = 0 and you can now perform countless computations in a few lines that previously would have taken dozens of pages. What's more the new notation makes it harder to accidentally write equations of motion that don't make physical sense because they automatically obey symmetries that are difficult to see in more complex notation. Haskell is just like this too. You can do a lot with a tiny amount of code. And if two blocks of code appear to do similar things you can often factor out the common part and make it a separate block of code in a way that's much harder than with just about any other language. This makes it much easier to generalise your code and have insights about it. This works well with the way mathematicians like to think about things.
(7) Haskell is Mind Expanding
Haskell draws on ideas from interesting branches of mathematics, for example Category Theory and Logic. And the logic part doesn't appear the way you expect - it appears via the Curry-Howard 'isomorphism' in the type system used to define datastructures. As mentioned above, Haskell code lends itself well to generalisations. You'll find all sorts of commonality between things that previously didn't seem similar, and you'll find ways to express that similarity in your code. One of my favourite examples is by Ralph Hinze. He doesn't just illustrate the
similarity between binomial tree and binary arithmetic, he actually shows how merging binomials and adding binary numbers are actually instances of the very same thing. Haskell encourages this kind of abstraction. Though I've wandered into the realm of computer science with talk of trees this is still the type of abstraction that mathematicians find interesting.
(8) Haskell Has No Side Effects
When you add two numbers you get the sum. You don't find that something else in the universe has happened as well (except maybe the temperature in the room goes up if it's a really hard sum). So functions in a programming language shouldn't have any side effects. In Haskell a
function does nothing other than return the value of its result. This means that it's easy to bring your mathematical experience to bear when analysing programs. (Almost) all of the usual rules for manipulating mathematical expressions apply so that, for example, if b = f(a) and c =
g(b,b), then c = g(f(a),f(a)). In many other programming languages you'd have to make sure that calling f twice didn't have some side effect that made it behave differently to calling it once.
(9) Haskell Eats Circular Definitions for Breakfast
In most imperative languages a line of code like x=f(x) means replace the value of x with f applied to the old value of x. In Haskell it means x equals f(x). It has no problem with you defining a variable in terms of itself and x=f(x) means that x is a fixed point of the function f. In practice it's not so simple, you can't just write x = 1-x^2 and expect it to figure out that x is the golden ratio. Haskell is a programming language not an equation solving package. But in my formal power series library I'm able to use a line like "e = 1+integrate e" to define the power series for exp x. See here for another example of using circular definitions to solve differential
(10) Haskell is Well Founded
What I mean is that Haskell is built on fairly solid mathematical foundations in lambda calculus and proof theory. It's not just an ad hoc language that has accreted features over the years. Everything is there for a reason and people have thought long and hard about the theoretical underpinnings of what went into it.
(11) Haskell is Pretty
Well, that's a matter of taste. But I find it very elegant.
That's 11. I think there's a rule against making lists with prime numbers of elements but I'm ignoring it.
To be fair I ought to point out that it's not all a bowl of cherries. Haskell isn't very good at dealing with arrays. In most programming languages it takes time O(1) to access the ith element of an n element array. In Haskell you can get this kind of performace if you don't mind using the various painful to use array operators available, or you can sacrifice performance, keep the elegance, and get O(log n) performance. On the other hand, you'd be surprised just how many useful matrix algortihms don't require random access to the ith element.
Because Haskell functions don't have side effects it doesn't make sense to perform an operation more than once because it'll just do the same thing each time. So there's no notion of a 'for' loop (well, maybe there is) in Haskell and instead you must find other ways to express iterative operations - ie. using 'higher order functions' or recusrion. But sometimes you feel like you just want to write the loop and be done with it. There's always another way of expressing the problem but when the iterative approach is the first thing to pop into your head it can occasionally be frustrating. And sometimes you'd like side effects.
Haskell comes with a library of functions called the 'standard prelude'. Unfortunately, whoever designed it knew just enough mathematics to be dangerous and made a complete hash of it. Instead of using a well known hierarchy of algebraic structures such as group->ring->field they defined all kinds of bizarre structures starting with something like a ring with a norm or valuation. And while the library supports complex numbers it's not flexible enough to support the Gaussian integers (probably a consequence of forcing rings to have a norm). All things that could have been implemented correctly in a few seconds if a mathematician had been consulted early on.
And the last caveat. I found learning Haskell hard. Let me put it in perspective: I'm 39. I've been programming since I was 11. I've been writing recursive code since about 15 and I've been using whatever approximations to functional programming are avalable to me in any language I use for almost that long (including torturing myself with C++ template metaprogramming). I've even implemented a couple of declarative languages, Prolog and SASL, the latter being a functional lazy language a lot like Haskell that I thought I'd investigate before Haskell. And I still found Haskell tricky to learn. But it was worth it. And I believe that the trickiness of the language is the kind of trickiness that mathematicians should be able to handle. (And it probably helps if you don't know any C or C++...)
A friend of mine, and I, have been writing all kinds of mathematical code and finding Haskell well suited to the task. Logic (eg. building analytic tableau as in Smullyan's book on first order logic), Group Theory (eg. the Schreier-Sims algorithm), Calculus (automatic differentiation), Combinatorics (via formal power series), Algebra (eg. Grobner bases) and now we're looking into investigating relationships between elliptic functions and modular forms. (Hmmm...my friend takes most of the credit here.) Haskell is great at all of this stuff even though it's not in any way an algebra or mathematics package.
And one list thing about Haskell. If x is an integer (called an "Integer" in Haskell) then x+1>x. It's nice to work over the integers rather than a cheap and nasty 2-adic approximation (though the cheap and nasty approximation is there if you want it.)

As one of the original authors of Macaulay, you had me at "hello"!
I've been teaching Haskell to anyone I can. With my student the other day, we wrote a screenful of one-liners (leavened by comments and type declarations) that reverse-search atomic lattices represented as bitfields. The result: Code that could find all instances on 5 atoms in a quarter second (Macaualay2 could only handle 4 atoms) and all 2^36 or so instances on 6 atoms in 14 hours. That's an instance per bit on my 8 GB linux box, all the while using a memory footprint measured instead in MB.
So Haskell can mix it up at the machine level with the best of them. With its lazy functional overhead, Haskell is often slower than C, step by step, but its conceptual clarity allows one to effortlessly combine steps to form algorithms that would be way too painful to write in procedural languages. People mired in language efficiency debates haven't moved on yet; I don't bother with the mere constant improvements of strictness annotations or overclocking my hardware, I instead look for better algorithms.
How efficiently does a language mind-meld with its user? That's the whole ball of wax. I'm in my 50s; if one could reject the language debate static and accept this principle in one's 20s, one would be way ahead.
As an engine author, I'd reverse your "giant engine" comparison. All languages and packages pick their engine and tune it. Macaulay2 optimizes Grobner bases, Prolog optimizes unification. Lisp optimizes the lambda calculus, while logicians have since moved on to merge the lambda calculus with type and category theory. This is the engine that Haskell optimizes; look under the hood of GHC Haskell, and one sees the biggest engine of them all, written by the best programmers of them all. Haskell made a better choice of domain for its engine.
Oh yeah, Integers are easy to use, but 32-bit Ints pervade the basic libraries. We're lucky we wrote "length64" on a hunch before our 14 hour run; the standard version would have overflowed.

By Nancy Downs, Colorado Master GardenerSM, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver County
There is more to a good-looking landscape than plants. Here are some tips about other materials that go into creating the perfect garden.
To spray or not to spray.
After you decide on the sizes and shapes of your new beds, the next step is to remove all the unwanted vegetation within them. Wrestling out old junipers and attacking weeds is one of the least appealing aspects of putting in a new landscape, but doing a thorough job of it is the only way to prevent your new garden from being overrun with grass, weeds, suckers and re-growing shrubs before the end of the first season.
You have to dig out the woody plants, but for grass and weeds, you can choose between digging them out or spraying them with a non-selective herbicide. People who object to spraying usually do because they believe the spray is harmful to the environment. Glyphosate products (like Round-up) are supposed to break down into harmless elements quickly. Whether thats true or not may be debatable, but how does stripping off grass and burying it in a landfill fit in the grand scheme? It seems vaguely disturbing to haul off one organic material (grass) only to buy another (say, compost), both of which would improve the soil structure.
In any event, an important advantage to spraying is that you will kill perennial weeds like mallow, bindweed, bluebells and dandelions. If you only scrape off the tops, they will re-grow from their roots.
Preparing your soil.
Adding an organic soil amendment, like compost, well-rotted manure or spaghnum peat moss, will loosen up clay soil and improve drainage. At CSU, the rule of thumb is to add 3 cubic yards amendment per 1000 square feet of soil, but you can test your soil for a more individualized recommendation. On the other hand, if you plan to grow only native plants, leave the soil as it is. Most people seem to want shade and ornamental trees, some shrubs, a little lawn and a few perennials, all of which will benefit with soil amendment, so I say go for it.
Spread the amendment a couple of inches deep over the new bed and till it into the soil about 6-8 inches deep. Depending on the size of the area and how long its been since it was last worked, use either a shovel or a rototiller. A word to the wise: when we dug up my front yard, it had been in grass since the house was built in 1924 and was like concrete. The rototiller barely penetrated.
Edging is not a moat to hold in the mulch; edging is a barrier to prevent grass, which spreads by roots underground, from creeping into your bed. Consequently, to do any good, the edging has to be wide enough to be sunk 5 or 6 inches deep into the soil, with the ends overlapped 4" and secured with edging pins.
Ideally, you would use 6" x 10 14 gauge black steel but I have yet to see it sold retail. The 4" steel sold by nurseries isnt wide enough, and the plastic stuff sold at home improvement stores is a waste of time. As an alternative to edging, dig a 6-8 inch deep trough around the bed and fill it up mulch (so the wheel of the lawnmower doesnt fall in). It works just fine and is cheaper.
Landscape Fabric
There are many arguments for and against the use of landscape fabric. One functional argument against using it in a planting combining woody plants, herbaceous groundcovers and bulbs, is that the fabric prevents the groundcover from rooting as it goes and you wind up with so many holes in it that youve destroyed the integrity of it as a weed barrier. That said, if you choose to use it, lay it down like a blanket, turn the edges under and secure it with landscape pins.
After planting, mulch all the beds with 2 to 3 inches of mulch. There are different kinds, so choose the one you prefer. Shredded or chipped bark looks softer than stone, and doesnt heat up as much, but pea gravel works well, too. There is a shredded wood product on the market that is recycled lumber, dyed, which is all the wrong color in the landscape, but probably good from a politically correct standpoint. Leave a couple inches breathing room between the stems and trunks of the plants and whatever mulch you use, as one purpose of the mulch is to retain moisture, and it can do such a good job that the crown of the plant will rot.

I don't digest whey or soy proteins well and have been disappointed in taste and texture of rice proteins. Country Life does offer Max Amino Acids in free form capsules but I was taking a lot of capsules trying to come close to the amount offered in powder forms. I was thrilled to find Pea protein. I've used it for a week and I feel great! If you like carrot juice, it mixes very well for a very good taste.
DELICIOUS! I am addicted... I can eat it right out of the container. I use it for my pre and post workout shakes, as well as for breakfast. At breakfast I mix it with kale or spinach, some raspberries, stevia, cinnamon, a splash of lemon flavored fish oil, ground flaxseeds and some chia seeds. Honestly - it is yummy! It's significantly better than any rice protein and it keeps me satisfied longer.
Don't use a full scoop!

Your suppose to get 20 servings out of this tub , as I'm nearing the finish of my tub I have a suspension that I was not getting 20 servings.. Serving size 38g but on weighing my scoop it was more like 46g so hence why my tub got used up so quickly! However I do like it and it's not sweet at all which I love. I would buy again
Shocking taste

This is nutritious no doubt about it. Low carb, high protein. But the taste! Too sweet. Terrible sharp after taste. I found it hard to get down.
Tastes terrible

In my hands right now I've got ... well, my keyboard. But next to my keyboard is a freshly brewed pot of Yunnan Gold in my Meguro teapot.
A heaped tablespoon of tea, 15m of steeping. Yes, 15.
It's tasteless.
Any ideas?
EDIT: To be precise, I have this problem with all the teas I have - Yunnan Gold being the most pronounced. I also have Rooibos Vanilla (1tbsp, boiling, 6m); Earl Grey (1tbsp, boiling, 6m); and Golden Monkey (1tbsp, boiling, 4m)

When we originally released our program with physicist and novelist Janna Levin, we included a short clip of a conversation from Seed magazine (a great science publication that recently featured Andy's Art Shanty Project). Now that we're rebroadcasting an updated version of "Mathematics, Purpose, and Truth" we thought it was a good time to feature the complete salon with acclaimed fiction writer Jonathan Lethem and Ms. Levin from March 2007. They discuss the importance of truth in their art and the impurity of metaphor — and therein lies elegance and beauty. Enjoy.

Perhaps some casual sipping of water or coffee or something stronger during the taping would work but this eating of breakfast or apple crisp or whatever doesn't do it for me. And the conversation is interesting and stimulating but, especially on Ms Levin's part, is too informal--I miss several of her comments. The idea of the interview and discussion is great and the subject is valuable. A bit more care in presentation would be helpful.

I enjoyed the pace of the interview. When I first heard this program, it was the first time I had listened to the show. Now, I have reviewed the archives, downloaded several shows, and have become a regular listener (and contributor). I have listened to this particular show several times now. I have also tried to order her book through the Amazon link but it seems to be backordered or out of print and will have to pick up a used copy. I have also been to her website. Levin's insight brought out in the conversation I find almost life-changing in philosophical discussions and should be included in any Intro to Philosophy class. Thank you.

Wow! As a new novelist, and a retiring truck driver @ age 64, I was blown away by this conversation. It confirmed so many things that I have felt and incorporated intuitively into the first novel I am now writing: "Shattered". I would recommend this clip for anyone embarking upon a writing career.

I couldn't help but wonder what caused Ms Levin to eat while she's interviewing Mr Gilliss. It seemed distracting, and I'd bet, Mr Gilliss found it so. Just watching his body language indicated to me that he was curious about her choice to be eating throughout the conversation. Sorry, the style simply was a turn-off!

Jurgen, unfortunately I wasn't invited to sit with Ms. Levin. That's Jonathan Lethem, the superb novelist and short story writer! I took it that the producers were trying to set up a relaxed, more informal conversation and that food was possibly one way of doing it.

The subject that you have put is worthy to read. I liked the way Janna Levin shot her answers to the queries. She is the famous physicist and novelist of the era. The impurity of the metaphor is the part I loved the most.

Spot-billed pelicans breed seasonally, each nesting pair fledging one clutch per year. Pairs are monogamous by year but not for life. At the beginning of each new breeding season courtship rituals begin anew. Pairing occurs approximately one week after pelicans arrive at their breeding grounds. Spot-billed pelicans use a number of different social signals in courtship, both vocal and visual, including bowing, head swaying, bill clapping, head turning, and various moaning, grunting, and high-pitched yipping noises. The pair, once formed, will begin to build their nest. The male brings sticks to the female, who builds the nest underneath her, anywhere from 5 to 30 meters above ground in the branches of a tree. Up to 15 pairs have been documented with nests in the same tree in a season. These nests, once completed, will be defended with hissing, sighing, and bill-jabbing movements if another bird lands too close. Mates greet each other at the nest with neck stretching and a series of groans. (Hoagstrom, 2002; Hutchins et al., 2003; Johnsgard, 1993)
Spot-billed pelicans breed once per year during an autumn breeding season. They lay 3 eggs at intervals of 36-48 hours. The eggs are then incubated for an average of 30 days. If all the eggs in a nest are removed or destroyed at the beginning of the season, then a second clutch is laid within a week of their loss. However, if at least one egg remains there will be no replacement clutch. Breeding success is high in this species, with an average of two fledged young per nesting pair. Nestlings, though born helpless, are only fed by their parents for their first few weeks of life. Developing quickly, they are left to fend for themselves within the colony after just a few weeks, scavenging for food within the breeding grounds. Fledging occurs between 60 and 90 days, with the young able to actually hunt on their own at approximately 12 weeks. Spot-billed pelicans reach sexual maturity after 30 months or during their third year. (Hutchins et al., 2003; Johnsgard, 1993)
The majority of parental investment is in caring for the eggs rather than nestlings. Eggs are well tended by adults against egg predators, who rarely are able to steal eggs unless there is some sort of human disturbance to the nesting area. Although both the male and female take turns incubating their clutch, the female, who seems reluctant to leave the eggs even when pushed off by her mate, does the majority of incubation. After hatching, the young are fluid-fed by both parents for the first week and protected in the nest for the first two to three weeks until they develop the skills to defend themselves. After two to three weeks there is little parental involvement; the nestlings gather at the base of their nesting trees and scavenge for food scraps until fledging. They continue to live within the colony, which offers them some safety from predators and the food scraps they need to survive. Little direct parenting is provided once the nestlings leave the nest. (Hutchins et al., 2003; Johnsgard, 1993)

"The John Lennon Letters" by John Lennon and Hunter Davies (Little, Brown and Company, $29.99)
LONDON — John Lennon never minced his words.
Paul McCartney should "get off his gold disc," he once wrote. On another occasion, he was irked by producer George Martin's boasts about being the brains behind the Beatles: "For the cameraman to take credit from the director is a bit too much."
To one critic, Lennon wrote: "People like you still exist, of course, in small towns across the world." To another, he messaged, "Yoko's been an artist before you were even a groupie."
Lennon was bitter about some admirers too: "I was reading your letter and wondering what middle aged cranky Beatle fan wrote it," he replied to correspondence from McCartney.
These waspish barbs come in "The John Lennon Letters," the first compilation of his postcards, notes and telegrams, some with "JohnandYoko" doodles. Heaven knows how big the volume would be had Lennon lived long enough to use email. He'd have just turned 72: The first Beatles single came out 50 years ago.
The detective work in sourcing the material was carried out by Beatles biographer Hunter Davies. As Yoko Ono writes in a foreword, he has done well. When Lennon had a brainwave, or felt happy or sad, he tended to jot it down and often eenough shared it with others, Davies writes.
Fans will lap it up. Everyone else will go, "Too much information."Last Updated: 10/15/12 10:43

5 Reasons the NFL Should Fix Blackouts Next
The NFL's regular referees returned more than a week ago after the entire football-watching world had itself a good cry over the "fraud" being perpetuated on fans, the atrocities of subjective penalty calling and such high-minded notions as the integrity of the game. Fans in the San Diego and Tampa/St. Petersburg areas would have joined them, but they were too busy watching some other market's game while their home team was busy being booted off television for insufficient attendance.
That's the order of march in today's NFL average-joe replacement refs missing a few calls early in the season? Can 'em and pay the regular refs immediately. But average-joe fans can't watch a game in their area when lofty ticket prices and a floundering economy keep them away from stadiums their tax dollars paid for? Forget 'em. Let the bums buy a ticket if they want an NFL team.
While some say an NFL market missing a broadcast may not seem as important to some fans as, say, a questionable call over mutual possession, NFL blackouts have the potential to affect the pro sports landscape far more deeply that a few weeks of replacement officiating. Here are just five reasons why the NFL and its fans should turn their attention to the blackout issue immediately:
1. The NFL's answer isn't working: For much of the blackout rule's existence, an NFL team's home game was blacked out when it didn't sell out a game 72 hours before kickoff. This year, the NFL gave teams the option of reducing the blackout ceiling to 85% of total capacity, with any revenue from tickets sold above that margin going into a collective pot to be split among all teams. The San Diego Chargers, a team prone to blacking out home games in recent years, opted to decline the NFL's offer and wound up blacking out a home game against the Atlanta Falcons two weeks ago at Qualcomm(QCOM) Stadium when both teams were 2-0.
Even teams that took up the NFL's offer have had to black out games this year. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have blacked out two games thanks to the tough math required to reach 85% capacity.
2. The blackouts themselves aren't working: After spending two seasons with much of the home slate blacked out, fans in Tampa seem just fine with keeping billionaire owner Malcolm Glazer's team off local airwaves while he tinkers with Machester United and takes $15 million for 30 years from taxpayers to maintain Tampa's Raymond James (RJF) Stadium. In the words of the folks at SportsFans.org, "The Bucs owners either 1) don't actually care about their fans or 2) don't realize that they're only exacerbating the waning interest in their team by continuing to black out game after game or 3) both."

Physical Description
Wild turkeys are large, ground-dwelling birds with long legs, long necks and large fan-shaped tails. They have short, rounded wings. Male wild turkeys have dark, iridescent plumage. Their flight feathers are black with brown stripes and are barred with white. They have a red wattle (a fleshy lobe that hangs down from the chin or throat), a caruncle (a wart-like projection of skin attached to the upper part of the forehead), and a blackish breast tuft. Their pink, pinkish-gray, or silver-gray legs have spurs which can grow as long as 3.2 cm. The heads of adult males (called gobblers) are red, blue, or white depending on the season.
Female wild turkeys (called hens) are smaller and duller than males. Most females do not have a breast tuft. Females have a grayish head and a feathered neck.
Male turkeys weigh 6.8 to 11 kg. Hens usually weigh 3.6 to 5.4 kg. Weight varies considerably with time of year and resource availability.
There are six subspecies of Meleagris gallopavo. These subspecies differ in size, plumage and distribution. (Eaton, 1992)

My recipe for chicken came out perfect, sauce has great smell My wife liked it, and she has never tasted worcestercire sauce before. Highly recommend
Not bad, but still prefer Lea & Perrins
Posted by 4886531575840208806 on Oct 08, 2016
Comparing to Lea & Perrins, the mother of all Worestershire Sauce, this has a deeper saltiness with it, less acidity, a fuller body, and slightly less sweet. Thanks to the Xantham Gum, it has a thicker consistency. But I have to say, the taste is a bit salty to me, and the flavors are not sharp enough. It taste good if you want it to compliment the food in a subtle way , but I like my sauce sharp. Decent Worcestershire sauce here, but not impressive enough to rock the original.
Posted by Reviewer3016012 on Aug 24, 2016
Lovely taste but put in a bottle with a smaller hole or you will get too much on your plate
Great because it's vegan
Posted by Celinem on Mar 24, 2016
I was looking for a vegan Worcestershire sauce and found this one. I can't tell if it's good or not because I'm not familiar with the taste, but it helped me a lot when making homemade seitan.
A bit too pricy

It is a great version of Worcestershire sauce, but for the amount the price is a bit dear.

Skip to comments.Governor Cuomo Says Boston Bombing Part Of "New Normal"
Posted on 04/19/2013 3:25:31 PM PDT by Biggirl
Mayor Michael Bloomberg may have canceled his morning radio appearance today in response to the ongoing manhunt for a suspect involved in Mondays deadly bombing attack on the Boston Marathon, but another top New York official, Governor Andrew Cuomo, scheduled his own radio interview on The Capitol Pressroom soon after. Mr. Cuomo directly addressed the high-profile situation in the Bay State by employing a phrase he previously used to describe climate change in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy: the new normal.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicker.com ...
Anything but Islam.
Yes, the climate has changed. People are getting really upset over liberalism.
I'm sick of this "new normal" garbage. As if people are to accept a stagnant economy, tyrannical "environmental" regulations, and authoritarianism as unavoidable.
Everyone who utters that phrase needs to be removed from office.
Perhaps THEIR new normal, not ours.
Think about what he said..."the new normal". I can only speculate they know there is much more to come by those three spoken little words.
Why do they always show their hand?
It was part of the New Normal for a lot of Americans after 9-11. Libs mocked that and relaxed enforcement. Now we have another strike and Libs are waking up to the fact that we need the same high level of enforcement and vigilence that we had under that evil Bush.
Only a liberal D@bag would surrender on their knees so quickly.
Or the libs thought that once Obama said "sorry" to the Muslims during his travels that terror attacks would stop.
...the more this idiot talks the more people find out just what kind of moron he is....expect this clown to be indicted before his first term is up. His mob connections are thicker than a cats hairball
The Progressive's view of America under siege: "Oh well..."
Ain't nothing normal about Coomeau.
So when is Bloomturd and Houmo going to ban muslims?
What a jackass. Did his concubine have any comment or is she back in the shop for more plastic parts?
Voting out Commie propagandist should be the 'new normal'.
Cuomo is creating the new abnormal.
you mean if you invite rattlesnakes into your back yard ....people could be killed? but it wouldn't be nice if you kept out the dangerous snakes...i dont know what the ans. could be...damn just damn!
It's only part of the new normal if Democrats have their way.
Cuomos right. As long as liberals are in office this is the new normal.
As I wrote to another poster - so what have the Russians done about those 300 children the Chechnians killed. All politicians are the same.
On GWB's watch, this would be far from the "new normal".
since when is it 'normal' for u.s. citizens to routinely die at the hands of jihadis....that guy's a real leader, eh? when THOMAS JEFFERSON ...(a giant of a leader) had trouble with radical arabs he sent boatfulls of marines a few thousand miles to settle their hash...and this guy wants to settle for 'normal'? huh?
'normal' for AMERICANS...is to CRUSH TYRANNY AND TYRANTS in order to make AMERICA safe....try that one on mario....
Seems to me big government, never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste aholes like Cuomo are only too happy to declare this the "new normal". After all, this condition gives the big statists every excuse to grab more power and to strip us of our civil rights. I mean, with the "new normal" being major cities locked down, residents sheltering in place, running gunfights in the streets, we can't be too concerned about something as inconsequential as the Second Amendment, can we? /s
You never know, this could very well plant the seeds to major Dem loses in 2014 at the midterm.
This is so reminiscent of the Carter administration, but it's worse. I never thought I'd live to see a worse president.
and you're okay with that, Gov??? and all that money the taxpayers give you to prevent these things — is that the new normal too???
When Cuomo was at HUDD under Clinton wreaking havoc in the mortgage industry head was neck dead in "the new normal".
Seems like a lot of change taking place under Obama are the "new normal," like jihad, increased health care costs, increased unemployment, increased risk to the health and safety of the citizens of the USA, ehh?
The New Normal brought to you by 50 years of idiodic liberal policies.
They need to be hanged and gibbeted.
Wonder how many LIBERALS NOW WANT GUNS TO PTOTECT THEMSELVES???? ONE???
Fitzy_888~:" When Cuomo was at HUDD under Clinton wreaking havoc in the mortgage industry head was neck dead in the new normal.
When Cuomo was at HUD under Clinton there was one word that proved his administrative worth : "Sterling-Homex "
Biggirl~:" (from the title)Governor Cuomo Says Boston Bombing Part Of "New Normal"
If the "New Normal" occurs in backrooms at 11:00 PM-11:20 PM for SAFE ACT, I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is " Fast and Furious " and arming drug cartels with automatic weapons, I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is " Benghazi " and abandoning our troops and ambassador, I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is confiscating citizens home and self-defense firearms , I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is loss of personal rights and liberty for security and protection, I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is Chechen fundamentalist Islamic bombers and threats of terrorism, I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is DHS 'pat-downs',ignoring travelers rights , violating 'posse committas', I reject it !
If the "New Normal" is violating American citizen's 2nd Amendment rights while arming foreign countries, I reject it !
Since all of the above occurred thanks to Progressive Democrat administration , I reject it ,... and YOU !
So Gov. Cuomo of NY blames what is going on in Boston to "climate change?"
Yes, in terms of "sanctuary states"; with our climate of letting anyone in who will put asses in schoolroom seats or stop our rising housing vacancies, be prepared for the worst - it is already here.
Yeah, new normal - he wants us to just accept it, and accept that he is restricting our 2nd amendment rights, which we need now, more than ever. btw, I happen to live only miles from many acres of land purchased by Arabs.
Hopefully, they are not radical Muslims, but how do I know? I'd feel a lot safer if we had our full 2nd amendment rights.

Deep in DailyWorth headquarters, we are preoccupied with one thing: Building your worth.
So when it comes to investing, we look for any way—including standing on our heads—to grab your attention.
Pathetic? No. Cunning! Be honest: If you knew this email was about asset allocation, you might not open it.
And that would be a blow to your net worth. And we can't have that.
Wow, that was a lot of build-up
So, what is asset allocation?
Think about your closet. Some people invest more in casual clothes; others in dresses or suits. You "allocate" your wardrobe to reflect your lifestyle, needs and aspirations.
It's similar when you pick the investments in your portfolio or retirement account. What guides your choices are:
- your goals (retirement, down payment, Ph.D.?)
- your tolerance for risk (high, medium, no thanks)
- how long you plan to keep the money invested
Bottom line
It takes a while to develop an asset allocation strategy (or a versatile wardrobe). Once you know your preferences, you then purchase investments—usually mutual funds—that balance your different needs. And…a balanced portfolio helps your money grow steadily over time.
Coming soon... investing expert Galia Gichon's asset allocation boot camp. You're breathless, we know.
Tell us: Do you have an asset allocation strategy already? Do you wish it had a catchy nickname, like assy-allo? We do.
Your Move
Pop quiz: Which fund comes with the assets already allocated?

Built on a rise overlooking historic Olde Towne Clinton, the four-bedroom residence will serve as a convenient, attractive location in which President Lee Royce and future leaders can welcome faculty, staff, students, alumni, and other guests at MC. The president's home will complement the quaint shops, restaurants, and businesses along Olde Towne's brick streets, and make Clinton's vibrant historic district all the more appealing.
Dr. Don Phillips '54, '84 and his wife, Sue, made the generous lead gift to fund the construction of the house, which occupies the former site of the old Hilltop Theater. The home will be known as Phillips House.
In addition to the Phillips' gift, a number of other donors have contributed to the project. "All of the costs of construction will be paid from private gifts and the sale of the existing home," said Vice President for Advancement and Legal Counsel to the President Bill Townsend.
Dr. Royce and his wife, Rhoda, currently live in a university-owned residence in another part of Clinton, but look forward to moving closer to campus. Tara Lytal, director of Main Street Clinton, is also pleased with the new construction project.
"Building a Mississippi College landmark at one of the gateways to Olde Towne will benefit nearby businesses," Lytal said. "The many Mississippi College visitors who will be entertained at the residence are sure to be charmed by the friendly atmosphere and historic beauty of our brick streets. The new home will be an asset to MC and to our community."
