Ours have green faces which is why we picked them so many years ago to be used around our smoking cauldron each year. We LOVE them.

Given a bus layover in a strange city, how many possible felonies would you commit?
If you were William Todd, who allegedly crammed an outlandish crime spree into a nine-hour layover in Nashville, that number would be at least 11, according to police.
"He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before," Sgt. Tony Blackburn told Nashville's NBC affiliate WSMV.
U.S. & World
"He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights. There definitely could be more charges," he said.
By the time cops said they found Todd in the water of a cooling vat on top of a mall, he had allegedly stolen weapons and cash, carjacked a cab, robbed people at gunpoint, set a business on fire and smeared his own feces around a law office — and more.
After Todd arrived in Nashville on a Greyhound bus at about 3 a.m., he began his visit by breaking into a closed-for-the-season haunted house just a few blocks from the depot, police said.
There, he stole a taser, revolver and shotgun — and a T-shirt — before shooting up the business and setting it on fire, police said.
Then it was on to robbing a local bar's patrons at gunpoint, tasing one of them and pistol-whipping another, police said.
Five minutes later, he allegedly carjacked a cab and headed off to spend his victims' cash and use their credit cards, according to police investigators.
After dropping almost $200 at a Walmart, he headed back downtown, where around 6 a.m. he found a law office to use as a bathroom. He ransacked the office, defecated on a desk and smeared his feces on framed law degrees, according to police.
Inside an adjacent hotel, he went door to door impersonating a housekeeper's voice, in the hopes of robbing hotel guests, police said.
He allegedly stole $600 from a Canadian couple at gunpoint, and according to police, at some point inside the hotel he shaved off his long red ponytail. Security camera footage showed him leaving the hotel bald, police said.
He then allegedly crashed his stolen cab into a parking garage at 9 a.m. Two and a half hours later, he hailed a new one, holding the driver at knifepoint, and made his way to the Opry Mills shopping mall outside of the city center, police said.
Police allegedly found him there, submerged in a water-cooling vat on top of the mall with water up to his nose, at noon, WSMV reported.
The 11 or more felony charges Todd faces might not be the extent of his legal trouble, either.
According to police, he is also a wanted man in Kentucky.

About this blog
FLEFF Intern Voices
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Blog posting written by Andrew Ronald, Film, Photography & Visual Arts '15, FLEFF Intern, Mahopac, NY
Anyone with an interest in film and independent cinema should certainly take the time to get to know Karen Rodriguez, the curator of the Upstate Filmmaker Showcase for FLEFF at Cinemapolis. I recently had the opportunity to interview Rodriguez and learned a lot about her.
Rodriguez has had outstanding experience with production, videography, cinematography and lighting as her academic career has spanned across the historic country of Germany and the bustling city of Boston. As she studied photography, Super-8 and film analysis, her passion for film exploded and led her to independently produce features and shorts, followed by working at the Thaw festival where "we screened narrative, experimental and documentary short films and videos and it was a complete blast! My favorite parts of filmmaking are the actual production and attending the film festivals!"
Production Work
"I think of myself as a bit of a generalist when it comes to production work...My own work that I'm most excited about falls into the personal/experimental form. While I love the camaraderie and focus of a large crew, my ideal mode of production would be analogous to a singer-songwriter writing a song where the filmmaker has an idea, picks up a camera and makes it happen." To me, this sounds like a beautiful sentiment as art forms are often compared to each other and it is interesting to think of film on such a microscopic scale.
What Are Microtopias?
"Microtopias is a rich metaphor and brings up for me many ideas. Most concretely, it reminds me of the idea that all politics are local meaning that sometimes it is difficult to think about affecting the world on a large scale, but that small efforts, local efforts can make a difference. It's connecting these local efforts to one another that is important for making large scale change."
Advice For Future Filmmakers
A strong recommendation Rodriguez deploys in her interview address the need to stay independent and work outside of the industry. This singularity, even if you are an independent documentary producer tackling corrupt politics and popular culture through a critical lens, facilitates the arduous process behind developing your own voice and artistic aesthetic that differs from corporatized media.
"In addition to the two Upstate Shorts screenings, I'm looking forward to Patrick Winter's talk on sound design, the talk with Laura Kissel and Matt Podolsky on new forms of environmental documentary, "Veins in the Gulf," and "100 Short Films about Water," anything with live music accompaniment, and of course, the parties!"

Pyongyang is just about the last place in the world you'd expect to find GWTW fans, but apparently you can't swing a dead cat there without hitting one.
Maybe the notion of a society devastated by war and famine is especially resonant in North Korea. Or maybe it appeals to some aspect of East Asian culture in general; Tony Horwtiz mentioned GWTW's popularity among Japanese visitors to Atlanta in Confederates in the Attic.
Personally, I think the explanation is pretty simple: Margaret Mitchell was a master storyteller who knew how to create remarkable characters. Sure, her portrayal of the Old South was mythical—but holy cow, what a myth she managed to build.

Leslie Jones has been pumped up about the Olympics, taking to social media to root for Team USA in her hilarious videos.
On Sunday, she kept live-tweeting the events, gaining the attention of the executive producer of the NBC Olympics.
"OK @Lesdoggg you're officially invited to Rio, Bell tweeted to Jones. "Want to come?" Jones soon responded: "hmmmm don't play cause y'all need me! I would have the whole Olympics pumped!!"
U.S. & World
Bell wanted to assure Jones the invite was serious. "@Lesdoggg wow is this what good Twitter feels like? Great call @shoemakermike TY. Leslie will connect wu tomorrow. Everyone else stay tuned!," he tweeted.
On Monday, Leslie Jones announced she's busy packing for Rio. "Guess who's going to Rio," the "SNL" and "Ghostbusters" star sang in a tweet, waving an American flag and sporting a Rio 2016 cap.
Jones is not the only celebrity excited about the Rio games.
Samuel L. Jackson has also been enthusiastically live tweeting the Games.
Apparently, Matthew McConaughey is a rugby fan. Wearing a Team USA t-shirt, he stood on the pitch and watched as the U.S. women's rugby team defeated Fiji 12-7 on Monday.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis shared a photo on Instagram, sporting the official opening ceremony (light-up) jackets. Kutcher wrote, "Arm chair Olympians. Go team USA!!! We got your back. Ty for the blazers @ralphlauren. #liketolight."
[NATL] Rio Olympics: Highlights From Day 1
Jessica Alba watched the opening ceremony with her family. She shared a photo on Instagram, captioned: "We are so stoked about this years Olympics! Go @kerrileewalsh Go team #usa #olympics2016."
Sarah Jessica Parker, posted a shot of her TV screen, and wrote, "Yes! Let the games begin. X, Sj #rio2016."
In an earlier post, Parker wrote about how she remembers her parents saving money to buy a television to watch the 1976 Olympics.
"I've been rooting for team USA ever since," she wrote.
The post included a photo of her wearing a navy blue jacket designed by Ralph Lauren "as part of an effort to raise funds for our American athletes."
"For every 'like' that this post gets, a dollar goes towards US Olympics Committee's Team for Tomorrow Program. A wonderful initiative which supports our young American athletes in training. Let the games begin," Parker wrote.
Eliza Dushku was also cheering for USA athletes, sharing a fireworks-filled Instagram story. "Pretty obvious. #olympic #wallclimbers #boulder on, kid us," the "Bring It On" star wrote.
[Rio2016 - Table Tennis] The Intense Faces of Olympic Table Tennis Players
Camilla Belle has been sharing Instagram posts from Rio, including a video from the opening ceremony. "USA!! #camillastravels #rio #olympics," #openingceremony," she wrote in the caption.
Cheering on Team USA in Rio is Secretary of State John Kerry. He dropped by a U.S. Olympic training facility Friday and stopped by several competitions on Saturday, including women's beach volleyball and tennis.
"Not only are we expecting all of you breaking some records, but we want you to contribute in the great American tradition of the spirit of competition and the values of our country," Kerry told several dozen athletes training at Brazil's Naval Academy, Reuters reported. "Break barriers. Find a different way to resolve the differences between us."
The U.S. State Department has been sharing photos of Kerry in Rio on its Instagram page.

Flames fall to Northwest Region rival Hokies in SELC DI final
April 27, 2014 | Atlanta, Ga.
A 7-1 second-quarter Virginia Tech scoring surge led to a 13-9 season-ending setback for Liberty University's men's lacrosse team in Sunday's Southeastern Lacrosse Conference (SELC) Division I championship game in Johns Creek, Ga.
"Virginia Tech played a great game and they deserved to win today," Flames Head Coach Kyle McQuillan said. "They're a well coached team and they played much better than they did the last time (a 10-8 regular-season-ending victory by Liberty over its Northwest Region rival). It's tough to beat a good team twice in the same year and they got the win when it mattered most. They're going to go to California (site of the MCLA Division I championships) and represent the SELC well."
The Hokies (14-3, ranked 23rd in the latest MCLA DI poll) scored three goals in the final two minutes of the first half, breaking open a 6-6 tie.
Liberty (14-4, ranked 22nd) appeared content to hold for the last shot, trailing 7-6 with more than a minute to go. But the Flames were signaled for stalling before Virginia Tech freshman goalie Bryan Cooper saved a running shot by sophomore midfielder Brett Bernardo. Cooper started a quick counterattack that senior attack Davis Mayberry finished with a point-blank score 11 seconds before halftime.
Things went from bad to worse for Liberty on the ensuing faceoff when the ball got loose and rolled toward the Flames goal before junior attack Joseph Rittenhouse picked it up and put it away over drawn-out goalie Ethan Kamholtz (10 saves).
"Virginia Tech will force you to make mistakes," McQuillan said. "They did a good job of stopping the bleeding and taking advantage of mistakes on our part. We committed two or three or four mistakes right in a row and it was a big momentum swing going into halftime."
Early on, it looked like it was going to be Liberty's day as the Flames broke open a 1-1 tie with three straight scores in a three-minute span late in the first period. Sophomore SELC DI Player of the Year and SELC DI Tournament Offensive MVP Ryan Miller (three goals) sparked the attack.
"Ryan Miller has had one of the most dynamic and special two years in MCLA history," McQuillan said, noting he is already more than halfway to becoming the top career point scorer in the nation.
Senior midfielder Derek Haywood pushed Liberty's lead to 4-1 with 1:30 to go in the first period, fighting off a Virginia Tech defender with a resilient run through the right crease before pocketing a short shot into the top left corner of the net.
Hokies senior midfielder Nick Fletcher stopped the Flames' scoring run with a bounce shot from the right with one minute remaining before Liberty sophomore Charles Fianko won the ensuing faceoff and found senior attack Kurt Tobias on the left side, where he sent a low submarine shot into the bottom right corner of the cage past Cooper to extend Liberty's lead to 5-2.
"In the first quarter, we did everything we needed to do," McQuillan said. "Virginia Tech fought their way back into the game and once they got back into it, they built some momentum and we were never able to take it back."
The Flames also got three goals from sophomore midfielder Bryce Mrakovich, two assists from junior attack Chris Armstrong and freshman midfielder Chad Moore, and one goal and one assist from Bernardo while Fianko won 14 of 24 faceoffs. Moore and Bernardo joined Miller on the SELC DI All-Tournament Team along with senior long-stick midfielder Michael Zumpano and sophomore defender Brandt Grauss.
While he doesn't expect Liberty to receive one of six at-large bids to the MCLA DI Nationals, McQuillan is confident the Flames can return to the SELC final next year and win it.
"Getting as close as we did to an SELC Championship, we're going to use this as motivation," he said. "We're exactly where we need to be and the future is very bright for these guys and the program. Virginia Tech is always a program that's going to be competing for an SELC championship and we're looking forward to seeing them on our schedule every year. We showed we belonged here, showed we can compete, showed we're going to be there every year contending for the championship."

WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court panel Friday unanimously upheld an Obama administration requirement that dealers in Southwestern border states report when customers buy multiple high-powered rifles.
The firearms industry trade group, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and two Arizona gun sellers had argued that the administration overstepped its legal authority in the 2011 regulation, which applies to gun sellers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The requirement, issued in what is known as a demand letter, compels those sellers to report to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when anyone buys - within a five-day period - two or more semi-automatic weapons capable of accepting a detachable magazine and with a caliber greater than .22. The ATF says the requirement is needed to help stop the flow of guns to Mexican drug cartels.
Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, writing for the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, said the agency was within its legal authority when it issued the demand letter. She said that the Gun Control Act of 1968 'unambiguously authorizes the demand letter.'
Henderson, who was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush, was joined by Judges Judith W. Rogers, an appointee of Democratic President Bill Clinton, and Harry T. Edwards, an appointee of Democratic President Jimmy Carter.
Congress annually passes legislation banning the ATF from establishing a national firearms registry, but Henderson rejected arguments from the challengers that the requirement unlawfully created one.
Because ATF sent the demand letter to only 7 percent of federally licensed gun dealers and required information about only a small number of transactions, 'the July 2011 demand letter does not come close to creating a `national firearms registry,'' she wrote.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation had argued that even if the ATF had the legal authority to issue the requirement, its decision to impose it on every retailer in the border states was arbitrary and capricious. In its appeal brief, the group wrote, 'There is no rational law enforcement connection between the problem ATF sought to address - illegal firearms trafficking from the United States to Mexico - and merely conducting a lawful retail firearms business from premises located in one of the border states.'
But the panel dismissed this challenge as well. Henderson wrote that an agency has 'wide discretion' in making line-drawing decisions, and that the problem ATF sought to address is most severe in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas.
Larry Keane, general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said in a telephone interview Friday that his group has always encouraged gun sellers to fully cooperate with law enforcement and report any suspicious activity.
'We simply do not believe that Congress gave the ATF carte blanche authority to demand records from licensees for any reason it wants for as long as it wants,' he said.
Keane added that there are two other appeals pending on the ATF requirement in other judicial circuits.
Richard Gardiner, an attorney for the two Arizona gun dealers that had challenged the requirement, J&G Sales, Ltd., of Prescott, Ariz., and Foothills Firearms, LLC, of Yuma, Ariz., said he was disappointed with the ruling but hasn't decided yet whether to file an appeal or not.

I just got a call from someone claiming to be a "domain notification server". They had pulled our contact information off our domain record, and had a highly deceptive pitch, something like:
We are calling you to alert you that you will be receiving a notification regarding your domain, blah blah blah information from our domain record. Please give us your fax number…
Only, more misleading. I was like, Is this really about my domain? Is this a DMCA notice of some sort? Is this a spammer? To the direct questions: "Do we have an existing business relationship?" the person was confused and couldn't really answer off-script. To be fair, "Alex" wasn't speaking in his native language — clearly Indian, so could have been US-based or outsourced. Eventually I got enough information that I determined with 98% certainty that this was spam, and told them to take us off the call list. He said he would, which confirmed that it was indeed spam.
wtf? We're on the do-not-call list. Is this a racket anybody else has encountered?

Race Ready Performance Electric Exhuast Cutouts - Double-By Pass Surgery
Uncorking Your Exhaust Is Easier Than Ever With Race Ready Performance's Electric Exhaust Cutouts
We've toggled the hooligan switch, and it is good. In an instant, this simple yet enormously entertaining device uncorks an electrically actuated butterfly valve mounted on a standard exhaust cutout. By bypassing the mufflers, man and machine are transformed from irresponsible social miscreants to really loud and irresponsible social miscreants. Install one of these babies in your exhaust system, and you'll be pulling up to every moron on their cell phone and rapping the throttle just for kicks. Like, can you hear me now? Sissies in hybrids and poseurs thumpin' gangsta rap are fine alternative targets as well. How many friendly hand gestures can you provoke on your commute?
Such juvenile antics aside, the real reason why hot rodders engage in the venerable practice of dumping their exhaust in front of their mufflers is to pick up a few extra ponies at the track. It works so well, GM employs a similar technique in the new Corvette Z06. Cutouts have been around for decades, but crawling under your car to manually uncap them can be a bit tedious. In recent years, several aftermarket manufacturers have hit the market with electric valves that allow for instant backpressure-less gratification. Unfortunately, they've become infamous for poor exhaust sealing and unreliable motors prone to premature burnout.
To address these issues, the latest evolution in electric cutouts is now available from Race Ready Performance (RRP). Features include an extra-thick body, a butterfly valve, and a shaft to improve durability and reduce warping. The valve itself has dual integrated O-rings to eliminate leaks, and RRP includes a weather-resistant wiring pack with every cutout kit. "We've put a lot of effort into improving the deficiencies associated with electric cutouts," explains Steve Garsky. "RRP is so confident in our products that we back them all with a lifetime warranty." The best part is that installing an electric cutout is stupid easy. We observed as RRP's technicians installed a dual electric cutout kit on a '68 Ford truck powered by a stout 347 small-block, and the job took less than 45 minutes from start to finish. While the truck's dual 2.5-inch Flowmaster exhaust system is more than up to the task in terms of flow, the bypass valves certainly add to the fun quotient.

Digest::MD5 - Perl interface to the MD5 Algorithm
- # Functional style
- use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
- $digest = md5($data);
- $digest = md5_hex($data);
- $digest = md5_base64($data);
- # OO style
- use Digest::MD5;
- $ctx = Digest::MD5->new;
- $ctx->add($data);
- $ctx->addfile(*FILE);
- $digest = $ctx->digest;
- $digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
- $digest = $ctx->b64digest;
module allows you to use the RSA Data Security
Inc. MD5 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The
algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as
output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
module provide a procedural interface for simple
use, as well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages
of arbitrary length and which can read files directly.
A binary digest will be 16 bytes long. A hex digest will be 32 characters long. A base64 digest will be 22 characters long.
The following functions can be exported from the
module. No functions are exported by default.
- md5($data,...)
This function will concatenate all arguments, calculate the MD5 digest of this "message", and return it in binary form.
- md5_hex($data,...)
Same as md5(), but will return the digest in hexadecimal form.
- md5_base64($data,...)
Same as md5(), but will return the digest as a base64 encoded string.
The base64 encoded string returned is not padded to be a multiple of 4 bytes long. If you want interoperability with other base64 encoded md5 digests you might want to append the string "==" to the result.
The following methods are available:
- $md5 = Digest::MD5->new
The constructor returns a new
Digest::MD5object which encapsulate the state of the MD5 message-digest algorithm. You can add data to the object and finally ask for the digest.
If called as an instance method (i.e. $md5->new) it will just reset the state the object to the state of a newly created object. No new object is created in this case.
- $md5->reset
This is just an alias for $md5->new.
- $md5->add($data,...)
The $data provided as argument are appended to the message we calculate the digest for. The return value is the $md5 object itself.
- $md5->addfile($io_handle)
The $io_handle is read until EOF and the content is appended to the message we calculate the digest for. The return value is the $md5 object itself.
In most cases you want to make sure that the $io_handle is set up to be in binmode().
- $md5->digest
Return the binary digest for the message.
Note that the
digestoperation is effectively a destructive, read-once operation. Once it has been performed, the
Digest::MD5object is automatically
resetand can be used to calculate another digest value.
- $md5->hexdigest
Same as $md5->digest, but will return the digest in hexadecimal form.
- $md5->b64digest
Same as $md5->digest, but will return the digest as a base64 encoded string.
The base64 encoded string returned is not padded to be a multiple of 4 bytes long. If you want interoperability with other base64 encoded md5 digests you might want to append the string "==" to the result.
The simplest way to use this library is to import the md5_hex() function (or one of its cousins):
The above example would print out the message
- Digest is 6df23dc03f9b54cc38a0fc1483df6e21
provided that the implementation is working correctly. The same checksum can also be calculated in OO style:
With OO style you can break the message arbitrary. This means that we are no longer limited to have space for the whole message in memory, i.e. we can handle messages of any size.
This is useful when calculating checksum for files:
Or we can use the builtin addfile method for more efficient reading of the file:
Digest, Digest::MD2, Digest::SHA1, Digest::HMAC

Native American communities along proposed route vow resistance against 'black snake' pipeline
Native American communities are promising fierce resistance to stop TransCanada from building, and President Barack Obama from permitting, the northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline.
"No Keystone XL pipeline will cross Lakota lands," declares a joint statement from Honor the Earth, the Oglala Sioux Nation, Owe Aku, and Protect the Sacred. "We stand with the Lakota Nation, we stand on the side of protecting sacred water, we stand for Indigenous land-based lifeways which will NOT be corrupted by a hazardous, toxic pipeline."
Members of seven Lakota nation tribes, as well as indigenous communities in Idaho, Oklahoma, Montana, Nebraska and Oregon, are preparing to take action to stop Keystone XL.
"It will band all Lakota to live together and you can't cross a living area if it's occupied," said Greg Grey Cloud, of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, in an interview with Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. "If it does get approved we aim to stop it."
The indigenous-led 'Moccasins on the Ground' program has been laying the groundwork for this resistance for over two years by giving nonviolent direct action trainings to front-line communities.
"We go up to wherever we've been invited, usually along pipeline routes," said Kent Lebsock, director of the Owe Aku International Justice Project, in an interview with Common Dreams. "We have three-day trainings on nonviolent direct action. This includes blockade tactics, and discipline is a big part of the training as well. We did nine of them last summer and fall, all the way from Montana to South Dakota, as well as teach-ins in Colorado and a training camp in Oklahoma."
"We are working with nations from Canada and British Columbia, as well as with the people where tar sands are located," Lebsock added.
"As an example of this nonviolent direct action," explains Lebsock, in March 2012 people at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota held a blockade to stop trucks from transporting parts of the Keystone XL pipeline through the reservation.
In August 2013, members of the Nez Perce tribe blockaded megaloads traveling Idaho's Highway 12 to the Alberta tar sands fields.
Descendants of the Ponca Tribe and non-native allies held a Trail of Tears Spiritual Camp in Nebraska in November to prevent the construction of the pipeline.
More spiritual camps along the proposed route of the pipeline are promised, although their date and location are not yet being publicly shared.
The promises of joint action follow the U.S. State Department's public release on Friday of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). This report has been widely criticized as tainted by the close ties between Transcanada and the Environmental Resource Management contractor hired to do the report.
While the oil industry is largely spinning the report as a green-light for the pipeline, green groups emphasize that it contains stern warnings over the massive carbon pollution that would result if the pipeline is built, including the admission that tar sands oil produces approximately 17 percent more carbon than traditional crude.
The release of the FEIS kicked off a 90-day inter-agency review and 30-day public comment period. The pipeline's opponents say now is a critical time to prevent Obama from approving the pipeline, which is proposed to stretch 1,179 miles from Alberta, Canada, across the border to Montana, and down to Cushing, Oklahoma where it would link with other pipelines, as part of a plan to drastically increase Canada's tar sands production.
The southern half of the Keystone XL pipeline — which begins in Cushing, passes through communities in Oklahoma and East Texas, and arrives at coastal refineries and shipping ports — began operations last month after facing fierce opposition and protest from communities that lie in its path.
"Let's honor the trail blazers from the Keystone XL south fight," said Idle No More campaigner Clayton Thomas-Muller. "Time for some action, and yes, some of us may get arrested!"

What could I use instead of earth balance coconut spread? We don't have it where I live =(ReplyDelete
Oh wow - I am so thrilled to find these. I've had Chai spice on the brain, and have been playing around with recipes, but I love the idea of putting it in a cupcake!ReplyDelete

do you have to whip the frosting for a very long time to achieve the smooth consistency shown in the photo? I whipped it with an electric beater for about two minutes and it still had an almost curdled texture...ReplyDelete

0 People rated this recipe
- 2 (8 to 10 pound) whole turkeys
- 2 small whole onions, peeled
- 2 carrots, halved
- 2 celery stalks, halved
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup Fennel Spice Rub, recipe follows
- 8 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 lemons, halved
- 4 large carrots, halved lengthwise
- 8 celery stalks
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup fennel seeds
- 3 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons white peppercorns
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Remove necks and giblets and put into a large saucepan. Add onions, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat and let simmer until reduced to about 2 cups. Strain and reserve; this is the turkey stock that you will use for the gravy.
Step 3
Wash the turkeys, inside and out, and dry well. Coat inside and out with half of the olive oil. Season each turkey on the outside generously with the spice rub, pressing it in to adhere. Place 4 rosemary sprigs and 2 lemon halves inside the cavity of each turkey.
Step 4
Arrange 4 of the halved carrots and 4 celery stalks on each of 2 half-sheet pans or baking sheets. Position each turkey on top of the carrots and celery so that the turkey does not rest directly on the bottom of the pan. Drizzle turkeys with remaining olive oil.
Step 5
Roast until an instant-read thermometer (inserted deep into the thigh but away from the bone) reads 165 degrees F and juices in the thigh run clear when pierced with a fork, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours; begin checking at 2 hours. Remove from the pans and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Reserve pan juices for gravy.
Step 6
While turkeys are resting, make the gravy. In a medium heavy saucepan, cook flour and butter over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until a blond roux is formed. Add pan juices and then reserved turkey stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer until thickened and ready to serve.
Step 7
Carve turkey as desired and serve with gravy.
Step 8
Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
Step 9
Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

The argument of America First seems to have been extended to its logical conclusion as the apparently selected President of the United States has single-handedly subtracted the nation from a map of climate change. By denying the place of the United States in the Paris Climate Accords, President Trump seems, in the most charitable interpretation, to have acted on his own instincts for what was the benefit that accrued to the country in the very short term, and after looking at the balance books of the United States government for what might have been the first time, decided that America had no real part in the map of the future of a warming world. Rather than outright denying global warming or climate change, Trump decided that the conventions established to contain it by the world's nations had no immediate advantage for the United States. The result wasn't really to subtract the United States from the ecumene, but from the phenomenon or at least the collective reaction of the world to climate change, and openly declare the supremacy of his own personal opinion–as if by executive fiat–on the matter.
The personal position which he advanced was so personal, perhaps, to be presented in terms of his own clouded thinking on the matter, or at least by seizing it to create what he saw as a wedge between national consistencies, and to use wildly incommensurate forms of data to create the impression of his own expertise on the issue–and to mislead the nation. For Donald Trump took advantage of his having Presidential podium to diss the Paris Accords by a torrent of alliteration as resting on a "cornucopia of dystopian, dishonest and discredited data." Even if one wants to admire the mesmerizingly deceptive alliteration, the notion of rooting an initial response to planetary climate change in the perspective of one nation–the United States of America–which produced the lion's share of greenhouse gasses–is only designed to distort. By pretending to unmask the Paris Accords as in fact a bum economic deal for the United States, as if it were solely designed to "handicap" one national economy, set a sad standard for the values of public office. For as Trump dismissed data on climate change as discredited with mock-rage, and vowed that the entire affair had been designed by foreign groups who had already "collectively cost America trillions of dollars through tough trade practices" and were desiring to continue to inflict similar damage.
But the large future on trade imbalances–which he treated as the bottom line–he staged a spectacle of being aggrieved that seemed to take on the problems of the nation, with little sense of what was at stake. Trump's televised live speech was preeminently designed only to distract from the data on which the Accords had been based. And even as Trump sought to pound his chest by describing the Accord as a "bad deal for Americans," that in truth "to the exclusive benefit of other countries." By turning attention to an America First perspective on global warming, Trump sought to replace the international scope of the challenge–and intent of the much-negotiated Climate Accords–by suggesting that it obscured American interests, even if it only took America's good will for granted. As if explaining to his televised audience that the agreement only "disadvantages the United States in relation to other countries," with the result of "leaving American workers–who [sic] I love–. . . to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs [and] lower wages," he concealed the actual economics of withdrawing from the Accords were buried beneath boasts to have secured "350 billion of military and economic development for the US" and to help American businesses, workers, taxpayers, and citizens. In dismissing the data out of hand about the expanded production of greenhouse gasses, Trump ridiculed the true target of the nearly universally approved Accords, scoffing at the abilities to reduce global temperatures; instead, he concentrated on broad figures of lost jobs in manufacturing and industries that are in fact small sectors of the national economy, and incommensurable with the dangers of ignoring global warming and climate change, or the exigencies of taking steps to counter its recent growth.
Increased likelihood of temperature rising above previous records by 2050 and 2080
Sea Surface Temperatures compared to historical baseline of a century ago
As if years of accumulated data of earth observation could be dismissed as deceptive out of hand by executive authority, independent of an accurate judgement of its measurement, Trump dismissed expert opinion with the air of a true populist whose heart lay in the defense of the American people and their well-being–as if they could be abstracted and prioritized above the world's Trump's largely rambling if gravely delivered comments in the Rose Garden press conference that painted himself as daily fighting for the country cemented the alliance of populism and a war on science by its odd substitution of bad economic data for good scientific data. The switch is one in which his administration has specialized. His address certainly culminated an outright dismissal of scientific conclusions based on a distorted America First picture of the world, where a stolid declaration that "the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords" made sense as form of national defense–despite the potential global catastrophe that rising global temperatures and sea surface temperatures threaten.
The catastrophes were minimized by being argued to be based on "discredited data" in a bizarre flourish designed to dismiss scientific concensus Trump conspicuously faulted not only the "discredited" but distracting nature of data in the speech he gave in the Rose Garden on June 1, 2017 that supposedly justified his announcement of withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords in 2015 to limit heat-trapping emissions of carbon fuels that have been tied to observed climate change. Rather than foreground the international nature of the accords among agreed upon by almost 200 nations, trump advanced the need to heed local interests, perversely, but even more perversely argued that the Accords resulted from disinformation. He spoke to the world to chastise their recognition of scientific observations, in so doing destabilizing not only global alliances but undermining a long-negotiated climate policy by pulling the rug out from long accepted consensus not only of climate scientists but a role of national leadership that sought to remedy the failure of the Kyoto Protocol of 1997. Trump turned his back on the Climate Accords on how to curb greenhouse gas emissions by proclaiming their unfairness to American interests, and attacking unwanted constraints on American industry, through his own deployment of data that was even more discredited as an excuse to walk away from the prospect of a greener world.
Al Drago/New York Times
If Trump steered the nation away from green energy and into darkness, Vladimir Putin seemed to mock Trump's rationale for the withdrawal when he mused, jokingly but ever so darkly, that "maybe the current [U.S.] president thinks they are not fully thought-through," making open fun of Donald Trump's image of global leadership by wryly noting in ways that echoed the absurdity of Trump's defense of the local in place of the global. "We don't feel here that the temperature is going hotter here, . . . I hear they are saying it snowed in Moscow today and its raining here, very cold," Putin noted, as if relishing undermining long-established trends in climate data by invoking a populist championing of local knowledge as if it trumped the advantages of earth observation that satellite observation has long provided. Populism trumped expertise and Putin laughed at the possibility that the Accords might soon fail as a result.
Given the longstanding desire of Moscow to be released from constraints on exploring the billions of tons of Arctic oil on which Russia has chosen to gamble, Trump's almost purposive blindness to a changing environmental politics of the global economy astounds for its parochialism, and its championing of place to dismiss undeniable effects of climate change that seems closely tied to carbon emissions. For with a false populism that championed the limited perspective of one place in the world–or one's own personal experience–Trump dismissed the maps and projections of climate change, on the basis that the "deal" was simply "BAD." And as a man who views everything as yet another deal, while he pronounced readiness to "renegotiate" an accord he sought to cast as a failure of President Obama to represent America's interests, the rebuke fell flatly as the accord was never designed to be renegotiable.
Putin's remarks were met by scattered laughter of recognition, and some smirks at the decision of the American president to withdraw form a long-negotiated set of accords to the collective dismay of our military and environmental allies, and its implicit endorsement of deniers of climate change. The potential "axis of mass destruction" France's climate minister has cautioned against might indeed be one of mass distraction. For in dismissing and indeed disdaining the historical accords to limit carbon emissions, Trump sought a soundbite sufficient to stoke suspicions the climate treaty. He sought to cast it as yet another deeply rigged system of which he had taken to compulsively warning Americans. Such a metaphor of bounty was jarring to reconcile with onerous economic burdens cited as the prime motivations for deciding to reject the Paris Accords on Climate Change. The jarring cognitive coinage seemed to connote its negative by a disorienting litotes; but perhaps the most striking element of the entire news conference was that Trump offered no data that backed up his own pronouncements and appearance of steadfast or only obstinate personal resolve.
Before the coherence of the embodiment of climate change in maps, Trumps jarringly juxtaposed radically different sorts of statistic to snow the nation–and the world–by disorienting his audience, on which Trump turned to a litany of complaints and perceived offenses striking for providing no data of any sort, save several bits of false data. As much as Trump betrayed uneven command over the data on climate change, as if embedding discrete numbers in unclear fashion that supported a self-evident argument, as if they addressed one of the most carefully documented changes in the atmosphere of the world. By juxtaposing a threat that "could cost Americans as much as 2.7 million lost jobs by 2025"–a number described as extreme but decontextualized to exaggerate its effect, framed by the dismissive statement "Believe me, this is not what we need!"– with a projected small temperature decrease of two tenths of a degree Celsius–"Think of that! This much"–as if to indicate the minuscule return that the "deal" offered to the United States that would have made it worthy accepting its costs–
The gesture seemed designed to juxtapose the honesty of direct communication with the deceit of the experts. Trump's notion of direct communication concealed the surreal enjambment of disproportionate numbers more striking by the difference of their scale than their meaning. Of a piece with his citation of partial statistics that exaggerate his points, from "95 Million not in the U.S. labor force" as if to imply they are all unsuccessfully looking for work, targeting some 8 million immigrants as "illegal aliens"ready for deportation, or how immigrants coast American taxpayers "billions of dollars a year." Such large figures deploy discredited data difficult to process to conjure fears by overwhelming audience, distracting from specific problems with large numbers that communicate an illusion of expertise, or even overwhelm their judgment by talking points disseminated in deeply questionable media sources.
If the power of this juxtaposition of unrelated numbers gained their effectiveness because of a lack of numeracy–Trump's claim of 100 million social media followers lumps his followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, many of whom may be the same people, and other fake persona —the numbers seem to exist for their rhetorical effect alone, as if to awe by their size and dismiss by the miniscule benefits they might provide. The point of contrasting such large and small statistics was to suggest the poor priorities of the previous administration, and dilute form the consensus reached on the modeling of climate change. To be sure, the Trump administration also barters in fake facts on Fox News Sunday. inflating the number of jobs in coal industries, that show a misleading sense of the government's relation to the national economy, generating a range of falsehoods that disable fact-checking, obscuring the fact that the global marketplace increasingly gives preference to cleaner energy and clean energy jobs more quickly others sectors of our national economy beyond energy industries. The ties of Trump's administration to fossil fuels–from the Secretary of State to the Secretary of Energy to the Secretary of the Interior down–employ the obsfuscating tactics of fossil fuel industries to obscure benefits of low-carbon fuels. Indeed, the inability to "renegotiate" a deal where each nation set its own levels of energy usage rendered Trump's promise of the prospect of renegotiation meaningless and unclear, even if it was intended to create the appearance of him sounding reasonable and amiable enough on nightly television news.

Another point of the citation of false data was to evoke a sense of false populism, by asking how the Accords could ever add up. In isolating foregrounded statistics great and small, tightly juxtaposed for rhetorical effect, the intent seems consciously to bombard the audience to disorienting effect. We know Trump has disdain for expertise, and indeed the intersection between a sense of populism with disdain or rejection of science may be endemic: in formulating responses to a global question like climate change that he has had no familiarity with save in terms of margins of profits and regulations. Rather than consulting experts, the President has prepared for public statements by consulting sympathetic media figures like Kimberly Guilfoyle who endorse climate conspiracy–and not experts–who use data as obscuring foils, suggesting an ecology of information originating from pro-fossil fuel industry groups.
But as much as adopt talking points from other media, Trump uses data to frame overstatements of unclear relation to actualities–as making the distorting and meaningless promise to drop power plant climate rules, clean water rules and other regulations to "help American workers, increasing wages by more than $30 billion over the next seven years"–a figure drawn from a fossil fuel industry nonprofit, which offered little grounds for such a claim, and was a cherry-picked large number offered without any contextualization–or consideration that $30 billion would not fill the pockets of 300 million. The point of allowing workers to continue to fire coal without hoping to meet any guidelines for carbon emissions did secure the total of 50,000 jobs in coal mining in the US, bit seems out of synch with the decline of demand for coal world-wide.
The point of citing such numbers offer a scaffolding for many of Trump's claims, but as talking points serve to disorient as much as instruct, and disorient from a global perspective and became the basis for pushing the groundless withdrawal from the Paris Accords. Perhaps the orientation for the talking points that migrate from many right-wing news sites into Trump's public speeches As many of the talking points culled from the unsourced ecosystem of the internet inform Trump's public statements that may be drawn from a special dossier that arrives on his desk, as Shane Goldmacher suggested, many of which are circulated in the White House to feed Trump's personal appetite for media consumption, many both dislodged from their original contexts and some neither substantiated or fact-checked, are printed and placed on his desk in the Oval Office, effectively introducing dissembling as much as dissenting information into Trump's significantly reduced three-page Presidential Daily Briefing.
Such a new information economy that defines the Oval Office in the Age of Trump makes it less of a nexus of information-sharing from scientific communities. It rather serves to introduce information designed to swamp existing facts–as the eight inch rise in sea levels since 1880, or the catastrophic floods on course to double by 2030, or economic disparities of the global footprints of different parts of the world, and only recently recognized ecological debts that patterns of consumption generate globally.
It is almost difficult to tell whether the jarring incommensurability of great and small numbers that Trump cited in his Rose Garden press conference was intentional–a strategy designed to mystify,–as some have cautioned–or a sort of cognitive dissonance between the ingrained skepticism before data, and belief in his own powers to resolve a problem of any size. It may well be a combination of both: but the history of long-term measurement of climate change suggest a perfect storm between his own doubting of data and persuasive skills with his outsized cognitive sense of his abilities to resolve an issue of such magnitude, and the inability he had of acknowledging that the United States had a need to recognize a debt it owed anyone.
The very overflow and abundance of data on global warming and climate change, in this context, cast a gauntlet and raised a challenge to be dismissed, and negotiated around in ways that did not depend on scientific observations, but would reflect his own ability to get a better deal for the United States alone, in a perverse impulse to isolationism in response to one of the greatest consequences and challenges of globalization–climate change–and the particular problems faced by the developing countries and for nations that were defined as biocapacity debtors. Indeed, in separating the nation from a pact between developing and developed countries on energy use and fossil fuel emissions, the notion of any prospect of global compact is unsettled by the withdrawal of the largest developed nation form the Accords–under the pretense that their interests were not respected enough–with one other nations that sought to enforce stricter emissions guidelines.

Horker Island
Top Contributors: Stephanie Lee, Hector Madrigal, Brendan Graeber + more
Horker Island is a small island filled with Horkers and a large Horker known as Lord Tusk.
Notable Items
- Ore veins surround the island
- A Master locked chest and a chest surrounded by bloody bones.
- The corpse of a Dunmer named Saden is impaled by a Horker Tusk. Near his body is a mace called Horksbane:
- Damage 40 Weight 14 Value 250 It is especially effective agaisnst horkers
- A wrecked ship provides a sunken chest and an East Empire Strongbox that contains an East Empire Pendant
- Nearby next to a small rowboat, Saden's Journal can be found:
If you're reading this, run. Get back in your boat and roaw as far and as fast as you can. There is no safe harbor here, there is no treasure worth the horror that awaits you. It's a miracle you aren't dead already. Haldyn sent us from Japhet's Folly out into the sea, looking for hidden islands and forgotten coves. He said we needed outposts all around Tamriel to hide all the treasure we're soon to pillage. I say he's mad. A fresh group like us has more immediate concerns than outposts. We don't even have a name yet. But I kept my mouth shut, my head down, and did what I was told. I wish to the Nine that I'd have said something... This island looked so peaceful, so remote. Seemed like a good place for an outpost. Bjord and I stayed behind while the others scouted about. It wasn't long before we heard the screams. We peered over the rocks and I can't even describe what we saw, although I'll never forget it. The blood. Gods, the blood... Whar those monsters did brought out the coward in Bjord. All it did to me was raise a fire in my chest, a strong hate in my gut so strong I can almost feel it coursing into the mace in my hand. I told Bjorn to run, to tell the others never to come here. I stayed to write out this warning to anyone unlucky enough to land on this rock. Now that I've done that duty, there's only one thing left. I'm going to kill as many of those things as I can. I'm even going to try for the big one. Maybe I'll do it. Maybe I'll kill every one of them. Maybe you've found this rock abandoned and safe. I doubt it...

Falk in Middle East with U.N. team
Professor Richard Falk, who has devoted his career to issues of humane governance, has taken that concern to the Middle East, where he is serving on a three-person team sent by the U.N. Commission on Human Rights to investigate alleged human-rights violations in the Israeli-occupied territories.
Falk and two other experts in international law, John Dugard, a South African from Leiden University in the Netherlands, and Kamal Hussein, former Bangladeshi foreign minister, were scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv Feb. 9 for 10 days to interview legal specialists, academics, and victims of and witnesses to the violence that has overtaken the Gaza Strip and the West Bank since September.
"We hope to meet with the leading personalities at the most crucial points of contact between the Palestinians and the Israelis," Falk said before departing.
Falk explained that the inquiry is "not so much attempting to establish facts, because these are largely known, but to use our legal background to interpret the information." The central issue, he said, "is to ask whether Israel has used excessive force in responding to the Palestinian political demonstrations."
The team will consider two major issues, he said. "One is evaluating whether the conditions of occupation are such as to give the Palestinians some kind of right of resistance," said Falk. "And if they have that right, then what are the limits to that right?"
Falk interprets the Palestinian struggle as a disrupted process of decolonization, dating to when Britain occupied the Palestinian territory and administered it as a mandate before the independence of Israel in 1948. He suggests that the Palestinian struggle is part of a long process of self-determination, and points out that the United Nations endorses self-determination as a fundamental human right.
The other issue, he said, "is to evaluate how Israel as the occupying power is carrying out its responsibility to protect the society that is subject to its control. The question is: have they used the most reasonable method to minimize the loss of life and the injuries being caused in maintaining order?"
Falk said it is crucial to understand how people in Israel and the Palestinian territories perceive the recent outbreaks of violence. When emotions are high, perceptions tend to be very different. "We must ask specific questions, such as what kinds of weapons were used?" he said. "And how does one interpret and understand the vulnerability of children? For example, the Palestinians contend that the Israeli army targeted children, and the Israeli army says Palestinians used children as human shields."
"The issue of settler violence is also important to this inquiry," Falk said. "Just to see the physical settings, such as Hebron, will help us understand what is happening there."
The Israeli government has said it would not participate in the investigation, claiming that it is one-sided.
Falk has visited the occupied territories before, most notably for a human rights conference in Gaza after the 1993 Oslo Accord. He also moderated the first open dialogue between an official Israeli and a member of the Palestinian Authority at an academic meeting in Jerusalem.
Falk has experience with international inquiries. He served on a 13-member commission to Kosovo, sponsored by the Swedish government and the secretary general of the United Nations, to examine issues regarding the NATO war after fighting had ended.
"Richard Falk is a humanist and an activist for humanity," said Miriam Lowi, a visiting fellow at Princeton's Center of International Studies and a political science professor at the College of New Jersey. "His insistence on justice for all peoples is what motivates his activism and his writing. He will take great pains to learn all that is possible on the ground, from all sides, and then to form a thoughtful, fair, multi-faceted and well-informed evaluation."
The inquiry team will submit its report to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights at its annual meeting in Geneva in March, an event attended by representatives from all governments. The intention also is to use the report to address concerns at the U.N. General Assembly about what is happening in the Palestinian-Israeli relationship.
Falk expects the report to "provide a more authoritative rendering on alternative ways of thinking about what the problems are and to make some kind of adjudication between competing claims about what has been happening. It should help the international community understand what is going on and what it can do about it."
Falk is the author, co-author or editor of more than 40 books on international law. This summer, he plans to retire from Princeton after 40 years on the faculty and move to Santa Barbara, Calif. "It has been a great privilege to spend four decades here with so many gifted students and colleagues," he said.

Okay...we are looking for a chocolate making facility IN Zermatt...over top of a grocery store perhaps?? Not a shop per se, more of a production place.
Detour clip!
Thanks sox 15!! And Thanks! Wow...I guess I need to be literal when I post here. I should have said, "speculate". I assumed it was Zev/Justin digging deep in the snow because it looked like 2 guys to me. So, to calm down the posters, I "speculate". Haha I also "speculated" that it was a pit stop. From those happy faces on the Globetrotters, I "speculated" they were running to a pit stop. So now...notice my posts in the single digits. Cut me some slack!
Repel? I don't think the racers are that obnoxious.
Can we say Zev and Justin are possibly in first based on that promo?
Detour Clip!
Detour options:Rappel: Kent/Vyxsin, Kisha/JenSearch: Zev/Justin, Gary, MalloryGlobetrotters unknown. (probably search, I can't imagine them fitting in the crevasse)

It could be that they all started with Red and then got green if they are doing the crevasse. There is always the possiblility they switched detours too...

Lifespan Integration is a gentle, body-based therapeutic method which heals without re-traumatizing. In 2003, Peggy Pace published the first edition of her book, Lifespan Integration: Connecting Ego States through Time. In her book Pace describes the new therapeutic method which she developed through her work with her clients. Pace originally designed Lifespan Integration therapy for adult survivors of childhood abuse or neglect. She soon found that LI therapy facilitates rapid healing in people of all ages, and is effective with a wide range of therapeutic issues. Since 2004, Pace has been training therapists throughout the US and Western Europe. At the present time (2015), more than 2000 therapists worldwide have been trained in Lifespan Integration.
Lifespan Integration relies on the innate ability of the body-mind to heal itself. LI is body-based, and combines active imagination, the juxtaposition of ego states in time, and a visual time line of memories to facilitate neural integration and rapid healing. During the integrating phase of the protocol, the client 'views' a memory image for each year of his or her life. The Lifespan Integration technique causes memories to surface spontaneously, and because of how memories are held neurologically, each memory which surfaces is related to the emotional theme or issue being targeted. The resulting panoramic view of the client's life gives the client new insights about lifelong patterns resultant from the past trauma.
Lifespan Integration is also very effective in the healing of various attachment disorders. This is accomplished through imaginally 're-writing' and 're-living' the early conditions, and integrating the new (positive) feeling states which are generated in the client-therapist dyad.
The success of this 're-wiring' depends on the internal coherence of the administering therapist in the same way that the attachment outcome of an infant depends on the mother's ability to attune to her child and to self-regulate.
After LI therapy, people find themselves spontaneously reacting to current stressors in more age appropriate ways. Clients who begin LI therapy with memory gaps are eventually able to connect the pieces of their lives into a coherent whole. Clients who have completed Lifespan Integration therapy report that they feel better about life, are more self-accepting, and are better able to enjoy their intimate relationships.

Case short-circuiting.
Since case expressions in GRIN do not force the evaluation of the scrutinized value, they are usually preceded by a call to 'eval'. Then, after the 'eval' calls have been inlined, case-of-case patterns like this are very common:
do val <- case x of
[] -> unit []
CCons x xs -> unit (CCons x xs)
Ffunc a -> func a
case val of
[] -> jumpToNilCase
CCons x xs -> jumpToConsCase x xs
This is obviously inefficient since the case for Nil and Cons will be scrutinized twice. In the GRIN paper, Boquist deals with this by implementing a case short-circuiting optimization after the GRIN code has been translated to machine code. However, dealing with optimizations on the machine code level is quite a tricky thing to do and I'd much rather implement this optimization in GRIN. By making aggressive use of small functions we can do exactly that:
do case x of
[] -> jumpToNilCase
CCons x xs -> jumpToConsCase x xs
Ffunc a -> do val <- func a; checkCase val
checkCase val =
case val of
[] -> jumpToNilCase
CCons x xs -> jumpToConsCase x xs
Register allocation and tail calls.
Using a fixed calling convention is not necessary for whole-program compilers like LHC. Instead, we choose to create a new calling method for each procedure (this is easier than it sounds).
This has the obvious consequence of requiring the convention for return values to be identical for procedures that invoke each other with tail-calls. This was deemed an unacceptable restriction in the GRIN paper, and all tail-calls were subsequently removed before register allocation took place. Afterwards, another optimization step reintroduced tail-calls where possible.
I believe this is too much trouble for too little gain. The possible performance hit is out-weighed by the ease of implementation and the guarantee of tail-calls.
Simple node layout.
An unevaluated value is represented simply by a function name (or tag) and a fixed number of arguments. This value is then overwritten once it has been evaluated. However, the new value may be bigger than what was allocated to represent the unevaluated function.
One way to deal with this is to have two different node layouts: a fixed size node for small values, and a variable size node for big values. This is the approach taken in the GRIN paper and it understandably adds quite a bit of complexity.
Another method is to use indirections. This trades smaller average node size and ease of implementation against more heap allocations.
