There could be snakes in here. To sing in green" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Didn’t you hear, in here,. How music prowled the house? The night was hard and lightless. But out there on a stiff stone. Larking – that was me. I said all I could:. Dear, you're everything to me! But the east shoved out new light. And the harsh day drove me home. My mouth was shut again. Under a murky weighted sky. So lonely we were,. Cleaved from the other! The air blows free and fro;. And the whole world inamidst us. Glänzt, al...

If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it." -Lord Kelvin. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Supposedly mimics the diet of hunter-gatherers from the Paleolithic era. But this is not true of all. Versions of the Paleo Diet). The proponents of the Paleo Diet explain its efficacy by resorting to evolutionary explanations, which some dietitians and anthropologists dispute.

Back On The Wagon – Getting Clojure
http://mavant.com/2014/06/30/back-on-the-wagon
Back On The Wagon. Jun 30, 2014. I haven’t written a blog post in almost three months! This must be rectified. I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately (current materials: HPMoR. For the third time, and Conceptual Mathematics.
