always rather be happy than dignified; and I ran after him. He stood at the foot of the stairs.
"Good-night, St. John," said I.
"Good-night, Jane," he replied calmly.
"Then shake hands," I added.
What a cold, loose touch he impressed on my fingers! He was deeply displeased by what had occurred that day; cordiality would not warm, nor tears move him. No happy reconciliation was to be had with him -- no cheering smile or generous word; but still the Christian was patient and placid; and when I asked him if he forgave me, he answered that he was not in the habit of cherishing the remembrance of vexation; that he had nothing to forgive, not having been offended.
And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had knocked me down.
H E did not leave for Cambridge the next day, as he had said he would. He deferred his departure a whole week; and during that time he made me feel what a severe punishment a good, yet stern, a conscientious, yet implacable man can inflict on one who has offended him. Without one overt act of hostility, one upbraiding word, he contrived to impress me momently with the conviction that I was put beyond the pale of his favour.
Not that St. John harboured a spirit of unchristian vindictiveness -- not that he would have injured a hair of my head, if it had been fully in his power to do so. Both by nature and principle he was superior to the mean gratification of vengeance: he had forgiven me for saying I scorned him and his love, but he had not forgotten the words; and as long as he and I lived he never would forget them. I saw by his look, when he turned to me, that they were always written on the air between me and him; whenever I spoke they sounded in my voice to his ear; and their echo toned every answer he gave me.
He did not abstain from conversing with me: he even

Publishing | Sales of comics, graphic novels and digital comics totaled $750 million in 2012, making that year the best of the millennium so far for the comics business, according to the retail news and analysis site ICv2. Total print sales were estimated at $680 million and digital at $70 million, a hair over 10 percent of print and almost triple the 2011 total of $25 million. The website also breaks down the top properties in eight graphic novel categories (superheroes, genre, manga, etc.), based on interviews with retailers, distributors and manufacturers. Interestingly, Hawkeye is nestled at No. 7 on the list of Top 10 superhero properties, between Iron Man and Spider-Man. [ICv2]

Retailing | Saying that video games, texting and digital comics have killed interest in collectibles, 80-year-old Joseph Liesner is closing his Sunnyside, Queens, store Comic Book Heaven after nearly three decades. "The store's not making any money," he says, "and, besides, I'm as old as Methuselah." The store will remain open for another two months, with Liesner using the time to search for a much younger girlfriend via a sign in the window. [Sunnyside Post]

Thoughts On Genius
via my girl, Smaggle

Yep. When I saw that she shared this earlier I made it the background image on my desktop.
This is wonderful 🙂
Whoa. Perfect.
Love this. Good lesson in that. Don't hold yourself of others to expectations you or they can not possibly reach.
so so true!!
Love this quote! So true.
thanks! I needed this.
How modest of him, since in fact he was (as some may say) the biggest genius of his time and possibly even until now.
Einstein was a genius in theoretical physics, but he knew that nobody can be perfect at everything. I think he meant that everybody is GOOD at something, but unfortunately the world doesn't give them the opportunity to enhance on the talent, or sometimes even realize its existence…
One of my new favorite quotes!
But then, Einstein never did accept Quantum Theory, did he?
This quote is fake.
Einstein believes in human stupidity.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former." — Albert Einstein
"The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits." — Albert Einstein
Well, whether or not this quotes is a fake or not, it certainly is inspirational, isn't it?
@SDiZ People make seemingly contradictory statements all of the time. Statements are generally made in situational contexts, and out of context we often appear to contradict ourselves.
It could also be that he held a similar view to my own, in that persons are intelligent, but people, en masse, are stupid.
In fact, I hold a theory that a mass of people is increasingly stupid in direct proportion to the size of the mass in proportion to the general populace. i.e. An individual is 90% more likely to accept a groups beliefs without even doing their own thinking on the subject if that group consists of 90% of the populace. Ergo, persons may be smart, but people are stupid.
This quote should be shown to some personality trainers. they make people convinced that they are not smart and it is possible to make the fish climb the tree.

As we continue to see progress made in autonomous driving technology, much of the public's interest has been preoccupied with the prospect of autonomous vehicles hitting the road. Yet six vehicles currently zipping autonomously around a Samsung warehouse in Russia's Kaluga region after being fitted with the "X-MOTION" system show that this technology will also find plenty of applications off the road.

Industrial robots have proven useful in reducing production costs in large factories, with major enterprises enlisting their services to execute repetitive tasks. The Factory-in-a-Day project, which kicked off in October, aims to also make robotic technology beneficial to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by developing adaptable robots that can be integrated with workplace systems within 24 hours. Read More
Colorado-based Modular Robotics has taken its Cubelets robotic building blocks to the next level with MOSS, a modular robot construction system that requires no coding or wiring skills on the part of the user. The kits are made up of various modules that communicate with each other via a single button contact and can be snapped together using magnets.Read More
The goal of DARPA's multi-year Robotics Challenge is to develop robots capable of reducing the danger of rescue and relief to victims and first responders alike. Next month DARPA will pit rescue robots against a series of tasks that represent disaster scenarios.Read More
Of all the questions one might like to ask Manuel Domínguez about his architecture thesis project, why he called it Very Large Structure is probably low on the list. Domínguez' concept depicts compactly planned cities atop vast mobile structures, capable of crawling to new locations as the needs or desires of the populace dictate. The idea clearly recalls Ron Herron's Walking City essay for Archigram in 1964, and though Domínguez cites that as an inspiration, he says it's just one among many. Real-world technology seems to have been the main influence.Read More
Robugtix has been hard at work fulfilling orders for its T8 tarantula robot that debuted earlier this year, as well as showing off its lifelike motion engine in a new video. Now the company has also announced a much cheaper version of the robot called the T8X which can be pre-ordered for a fraction of the cost of the original.Read More
Bipedal robots have proved a challenging frontier for roboticists, with styles ranging from clunkers to lurchers to those seemingly falling over drunk. However, the AMBER lab at Texas A&M University has created universal mathematical functions of walking derived from human data and optimized for robotic systems. Their own proof of concept robots have strikingly human gaits and react appropriately to disturbances. Furthermore, the system has the potential to be applied to other bipedal robots to similarly upgrade their stride. Read More
With its Budgee Bot robot, Five Elements Robotics has created a machine that embodies what was presumably in Karel Čapek's mind when he originally applied the word robot to an artificial automaton. First brought to public attention in his 1920 play R.U.R. (short for Rossum's Universal Robots), the word robot was adapted from robota, meaning something akin to a slave laborer in his native Czech. And though Budgee Bot is not designed for a life confined to a factory (and appears unlikely to overthrow human society), it is designed to obediently follow you around, carrying your stuff. Read More
More and more, robots are moving into our everyday lives, and if they're not going to end up being incredibly annoying, they're going to have to learn to recognize and cope with human emotions. RoboKind of Dallas, Texas has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise capital for the further development of its Zeno R25 interactive humanoid robot, which is designed to interact with humans in an intuitive way by detecting and mimicking emotions.Read More
Do you like visiting with that cute barista at the local coffee shop? Well, she/he may be on their way to being replaced by a machine ... maybe. This July, Texas-based company Briggo announced the installation of its first "intelligent" Coffee Haus on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The machine grinds and brews espressos, mochas and other specialty coffees on the spot, to the exact specifications of the customer. Read More

SEATTLE (AP) — Home invasion robbers apparently had the wrong address when they broke into a home about 2 a.m. Thursday, hit a man on the head and tied him up in his bathtub.
Police say they were looking for drugs and when they didn't find any they went next door.
KOMO reports there was a marijuana growing operation there. It's unknown what the robbers took before they got away. A resident of the second house was treated for chest pain.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or you cause that would be slavery and I'm against that. XD
Maple Leaf
You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"I got a maple leaf." you tell America. It was obvious who you'd be with for Seven Minutes in Heaven. You had been developing a small crush on Canada, and you hoped that he would like you back. Seven Minutes in Heaven was definitely a good idea. America then led you to the closet.
"Have fun!" he said before shoving you in there and slamming the door.
'Well that was kind of rude.' you thought to yourself as you dusted off your (f/c) dress and waited patiently for Canada to come. Right on cue, the door busted open, and Canada was shoved in. He stumbled and lost his balance, falling right on you.
"O-oh, (y/n)! S-s-sorry, I d-didn't mean to f-fall on you." he stammered, blushing a dark red.
"Erm, um, its ok." you say. He quickly got up off of you (much to your disappointment) and edged away from you a bit.
"S-so, d-do you like to p-play Seven Minutes in Heaven?" Canada asked.
"I guess, I mean I don't really care." You shrugged.
"W-well, I don't r-r-really like to play this g-game, but I t-told America t-that I would play if
"If what?" you questioned. You wanted, no, needed to know if he was hoping to end up with someone else or not. Your stomach dropped at the thought.
He looked into your (e/c) orbs with his purple ones and replied, "If I got to spend time with you, (y/n)"
You felt your face heat up, despite yourself. It heated up even more when Canada leaned in to kiss you softly on the lips. Your brain finally kicked in, and you deepened the kiss. Then you heard the door fling open and saw a bright flash that blinded you and Canada. You both blushed a new shade of red when you saw that America had taken a picture.
"Aww, Canadia finally has a girlfriend!" he smirked triumphantly as he took off with the picture.
"Alfred F. Jones, you get back here this instant!" you yell after him.
You were about to run off after him when you heard Canada say, "Um, (y/n)
w-would you g-g-go out with m-me?"
"Duh, of course! I've been wanting to go out with you for forever!" you smiled as you hugged him. Then you leaned up to kiss him, which caused him to blush again.
A/N: Aww, wasn't that so sweet? Wait till I get to France. It's probably not going to be pretty

The Luther College Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Juan Tony Guzman, will lead us in worship through liturgical jazz music during the two Traditional Worship Services and provide an afternoon concert as they complete their Spring tour. Luther College faculty member and jazz composer, Jon Ailabouni, is also composing new selections specifically for our Worship Services. It is guaranteed to be a toe-tapping Sunday to praise the Lord!

Wheat beer and lederhosen: Bayern celebrates title
MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich finally celebrated winning its 24th German championship on Saturday after the last Bundesliga game of the season.
Club captain Philipp Lahm lifted the championship shield to kick off the party in a sea of red and white confetti, after Claudio Pizarro's injury time strike secured a 1-0 win over Stuttgart.
The traditional wheat-beer showers followed with Pep Guardiola, in particular, singled out for attention by his jubilant players. The former Barcelona coach helped Bayern defend its title with a record seven games to spare in his first season in charge.
Around 15,000 fans later greeted the side at Marienplatz in the city center for the presentation of the league trophy from the town hall balcony, according to the traditional title celebrations.
The party was expected to last long into the night.

This book is about the major revolutions which have punctuated the history of Western society from the sixteenth century to recent times. Western society in this context is essentially European society with the significant addition of America, where revolution grew out of European expansion and a European political culture. The establishment and subsequent evolution of the United States is instructive both for the similarities to and divergences from the European experience as well as the way they have been intertwined. Since the collapse of the Communist regimes in 1989-90 pressures on Western Europe to adopt a more American model of social and economic organisation have increased. No doubt it would have been possible to have extended the range of revolutions to others with a European aspect to them; but 'the West' as conceived here makes historical sense, as does the view that it was the source of particular revolutionary traditions; such a focus also lends itself to a book which is manageable and coherent.
A similar pragmatism has governed the selection of the revolutions for each of the following chapters. In all but two instances they were chosen simply because they have been commonly regarded as revolutions by a substantial part of historical opinion. The remaining two - the fascist revolutions in Germany and Italy and the demise of the Soviet Union - have not yet perhaps been as fully incorporated into the conventional historiography of European revolutions, but nowadays no serious consideration of this subject could ignore them. Overall the list of revolutions selected is highly disparate. It embraces national revolutions against foreign domination, the upper-class revolution which installed William of Orange as King of England in 1688, the so-called 'failed' revolutions of 1848, revolutions of the Left and the Right as well as the 'top-down' revolution in Eastern Europe in 1989-91.
Given the varied nature of the revolutions under consideration and the individual interpretations of the writers, there is no uniform pattern to the following chapters. But, with differing degrees of emphasis, they address a number of key themes in order to illustrate and assess the causes, processes and outcomes of revolutionary movements. Placing each revolution in its

"The pidgeons" Pigeons Tip by Henrik_rrb
Pigeons, Venice: 34 reviews and 47 photos
I had no problem with those lovely (well...) birds, but I think others might have. At the Piazza San Marco they are everywhere, since a lot of tourist gives them food.
The next problem is that the food has to come out sometimes too, and for the birds it's not so important how or where, as long as it hit someone...
Watch out for the *** from the sky that is... :-)
There might also be a problem when they fly away, all of them at the same time. But since they aren't blind I suppose the best thing to do is to just stay still. They don't want to hit you more than you want to hit them.

Damn, every time I short LNKD I get burned......I believe ultimately this will drop but I am not going to forego my money management principles over it and so stick to my stops......Traded LNKD 5 times on short side and I have been proving wrong 4/5 times. Recent drop from 120 to 108 was my only winner.....Will re-engage when it drops below 107.....This stock has tremendous momo each time it snaps up.....amazing
Sentiment: Sell
So you short "after" it drops. Hmmmm.....maybe that's why you don't make money at it.

text: Posted 1 Jul 2013 Let's not overlook how important the preseason is it terms of revenue for teams and the league. TV, advertising, marketing, merchandizing, ticket sales, etc. It's a huge money maker. Sometimes I think the profit generating system that the NFL has created becomes more important than the welfare of players. THe preseason seems to symbolize that for me more than anything. It is also important as a way to assess talent and acclimate players to full speed game situations. It's a good time to see what works and what doesn't in a relatively risk free environment (from a coaching standpoint). For players, though, it isn't ideal. Who really wants to play in games that have little consequence and risk injury. Often the very best players in the league sit out long stretches in the preseason. The on-field product that fans are practically forced to pay for is of a decidedly lesser quality. To me the solution to all of this is to reduce the number of preseason games to 2. Only week 1 and 3 of the preseason are truly useful for all parties involved (week 2 is usually more experimental and week 4 is for scrubs). I would love it if the league went to an 18 game schedule, but I can live without it. 4 weeks is too many. That is where it becomes mostly about profits and self-promotion. Change it to 2 (18 games or just 16) and I think the league would be even sharper and more attuned to the needs of fans, players, and owners. I also like the idea of a shorter pre season but it would suck for some of these bubble guys and undrafted guys that have half the time to make a name for themselves.

At our office we have two master systems running with SBS 2008 server. One of these is used just for as a File Server while other is Domain Controller with the FSMO roles. We did this setup about a year ago and so far it was working great without any problems but until two days ago. Since past two days my File server is facing unexpected shutdowns. When we checked the Event Log, this is what we found:
Event ID 1074
The process C:\Windows\system32\silsvc.exe (FILE-SERVER01) has initiated the power off of computer FILE-SERVER01 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found
Reason Code: 0x2000c
Shutdown Type: power off
Comment: Licensing Compliance Service caused a shutdown. Please look at the events under Microsoft > Windows > Server Infrastructure Licensing > Operational for details.
Event ID 38
The Additional Server Count Check detected a condition in your environment that is out of compliance with the licensing policy. This server will be automatically shut down if the issue is not corrected in 179 day(s) 11 hour(s) 0 minute(s). Please look for additional events for Additional Server Count Check to troubleshoot
The Additional Server Count Check in the Licensing component did not pass because error 0x8007203a occurred in function f4 [KOAU]. The server is not operational.
Event 4
Make sure that your DNS server can be contacted and the following services are running: Active Directory Domain Services (NTDS), DNS Server (DNS), Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC). This server will be automatically shut down if the issue is not corrected.
Any idea what is meant by this? Please help.
