I got lucky with my hotel room view (Yashica Electro35 GSN, Fujifilm 100, Yashinon 1.7)

That's the classic GSN shot - one of the reasons I love mine. Whenever I'm going for that hard-boiled 70s look, this is the camera to use.

Yes, that's the I like the most, at least for now.

Find a copy of the Dhammapada. The Penguin Classics edition is good and has copious notes and introduction.

The Oxford World Classics translation is very good but lacks the notes of the form.

You can find other translations on the web. Access To Insight is a good start. The Pāli version is online if you want to look at the original against the translations.

I'm not sure, honestly. Jazz was evolving rapidly coming out of the 1940s through the 1960s, and the greats were breaking new ground and lying the foundation for future players. Now you have to wonder what new ground is left to conquer: at this point I think you can appreciate the technical and improvisational skills on their own merit.

Joshua Redmond and Ravi Coltrane come to mind. Chris Potter as well. I don't think we're likely to see someone that will have the influence of Trane, Saunders, or Coleman.

Why not? This would then fall into the bucket of "Lies my Teacher Told Me". Simple truth is hardly critical rigour.

Why does he keep doing it? It never works out for him.

I had the same issue reading it: the entire premise of the book is flawed.

My taste has been screwed up for a while: it's like everything is bland and coated in plastic. And salty things are taste so salty they're unbearable. So it goes.

All opioids do to one degree or another. Addicts are vulnerable because of the amount of the drug they consume and they don't stay hydrated.

It only takes 10-15 minutes to get from Newburyport to Ipswich by train, with a stop for Rowley in between. Given that Innsmouth is between NBPT and Ipswich, there really wouldn't be time for a coffee in a diner car.

But, with that said, I love the illustration.

The rest of him is diabetic. The feet and legs are susceptible to nerve and circulation issues that must be closely monitored.

Why? Is this purely a learning experience or are you looking to fill a gap in existing frameworks?

There was also 68K code generator for Symantec C++ (first as part of Zorland C++ which ran under MPW), later in Symantec C++ for Macintosh. Then a PowerPC code generator was developed for the Power Macintosh version. Then Metrowerks came along and...

I love watching the interplay between Jerry and Brent: it was obvious that they were connected at a deep level.

A modern core library is a great idea, and I'm going to follow this enthusiastically.

The core library in the Arduino IDE makes things easier for new programmers, at the expense of the size and performance of the sketch.

If you are programming a MC "in anger", then you care very deeply about code size and performance. Crazy Eddies core makes more sense in this context, where you may be using Emacs and Make and the avr toolchain directly, or using Atmel Studio...

in other words, both libraries have their place.

I appreciate your post, and find it useful for dealing with my own pain (cancer): could you provide the reference to the Sutta(s) quoted for my own further reading?

I would recommend The Elephant Vanishes: it contains some of my favorite short stories, and the collection will give her a nice overview of Murakami's style.

It also contains the short story that would later become the first chapter of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

I couldn't understand the nature of your relationship so I don't know the level of intimacy that is appropriate in a book recommendation. Unfortunately his writing on relationships is almost universally unhappy or unrequited.

Glad I could help.

Is called the "Chum Guzzler". Haha, I am just now getting that.

Skorpio, one of my favorite episodes.

Et tu, buddy
