- Summary: Nintendo Land is a theme park featuring 12 different attractions, each with its own play on a Nintendo franchise. Each attraction features it's own special gameplay experiences made possible by the Wii U controller. Depending on the particular attraction, players can compete individually or against other players, or even team up to play cooperatively. Up to 5 players can participate in dynamic multiplayer modes in select attractions. The experiences change each time, depending on whether players are using the GamePad, holding a Wii Remote or just watching others play on the TV screen.… Expand

Dec 10, 2012Nintendo Land's strongest selling point, though, is just how easy it is to jump right into these games.
Dec 10, 2012Nintendo Land highlights the potential of the Wii U console, especially when it comes to the capabilities of the GamePad that is definitely a very impressive gaming controller. By combining elements of the 3DS and a Tablet with streamlined Nintendo controls, this game not only plays well but gives the player and players some great single and multiplayer excitement. Add in high scores, trophies and lots of unlockables and this may be the future of gaming! Brilliant!
Nov 19, 2012In a wonderful cartoon world populated by Mii characters, the players are able to play twelve different games, inspired by Nintendo biggest franchise, from Super Mario to Zelda. Nintendo Land is the perfect bundle game for the imminent launch of the new Nintendo console. We suggest the game to all the Wii U buyers, Nintendo fans, and casual gamers.
Dec 21, 2012Nice set of mini-games with a visible touch of the Nintendo spirit. Nothing good for lone-wolves to be found here but family sessions should be satisfied. [Christmas 2012]
Nov 23, 2012If you're buying the Premium version, Nintendo Land is a great addition, but if you're buying the basic one, keep in mind this game is meant to be played with friends and family. One way or another, Nintendo Land is a title every Wii U user should, at least, try.
Dec 1, 2012Nintendo Land's defining quality is how it teaches the Wii U system to the player without making it complicated. This unfortunately also means depth is sacrificed.
Nov 29, 2012A strong heritage results in a bland mix of mini games. To only include three competitive games (which happens to be the best thing in this compilation) is just insane, especially when the majority of the others goes from "pretty okay" to "horrible".

Aug 19, 2013My relatives come over to the house just to play this game. We have an absolute blast together. There is no other experience out there quite like it. Typically the person on the gamepad is put in a much different role to the other players and more often than not in the role of an 'enemy'. After each game we pass the pad to the next player in the circle and continue on. Hours can pass so quick without notice. There are also solo games which use the gamepad in very unique and fun ways. But these too are not just single player and a second player can help out with a wii mote. I couldn't fault any of the games in particular but I would say that Metroid Blaster was definitely my most played and the game I had the most fun with. Take the game for what it is, a fun game designed for bringing people together and you will get hours of entertainment. If you want a purely single player experience that exhibits all of the games qualities then this is not the game for you. But hey, that's just my opinion, I still did have a blast playing some of the solo games on my own. This is my most played wii U game to date. Its replay value is off the chart.… Expand
Jan 14, 2014That's a little description of the game: Nintendo Land is a beautiful game made up of several minigames that are inspired from the Nintendo Franchise Like :Mario , Zelda, Metroid... . This game is one of the funniest videogames to play with friends and not ! Is simple and the graphics is clean, a 1 year baby can play it too. Every single minigame is perfectly done from the gameplay to the style to the function with the Wii u GamePad; the GamePad is an important part of the game and every single minigames need it for different action.The Game is perfect to play with friends or with other people of your family. The Final thing that i want to say is that the game is funny and beautiful. Surely a good Killer Application for the Wii u!… Expand
Jan 7, 2013In my opinion, this was a better pack-in title than wii sports. This game was a ton of fun to play with the brothers and my friends. But you can only play 12 short minigames so many times without getting board. And without online leaderboards, it's hard to say that many people will be playing it a year from now. Fantastic game, but wait for a drop in price before you buy it.… Expand
Dec 25, 2012come on people who review it badly IT'S A PARTY GAME DIRECTED AT KIDS! ages 4-9. It is obviously innovative since it defines the console (along with ZombiU). And it is very fun. sure it lacks story and depth 2 things THAT IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE AT ALL. although i do think they could of done more with it and maybe make Donkey Kong's Crash Course not so Fricken BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway it is a great game. lol :p… Expand
Dec 29, 2012This game, and the Wii U in general, represent nothing less than Nintendo execs sitting in their offices laughing histerically at so easily ripping off the uninformed videogame customer. This is another stupid mini-game collection. Yet this time we're supposed to be excited because it uses a cheap, boring, pointless second screen controller. Give me a break. The Wii U in general has the soon to be obsolete power of the current (much better) systems and it comes with a pathetic amount of hard drive (you, know, because Nintendo would actually have to spend money to give us a good amount of hard drive), yet somehow Nintendo is gonna make money because the controller contains a (cheaply made) screen? And a thrown-together game like Nintendo Land is the perfect example of what this system is gonna become. Another gimmic that uneducated gamers will fall for. Nintendo is a con artist. Con artist will go away if people stop falling for their tricks.… Expand

Ice picks: Thursday's best NHL bets
Toronto Maple Leafs at St. Louis Blues (-160, 5.5)
Under new coach Ken Hitchcock, the Blues blanked Chicago 3-0 on Tuesday as they killed all nine Blackhawks' power plays.
Goalie Jaroslav Halak earned his first shutout since last season's finale against Nashville, stopping 29 shots.
"When a coaching change happened so fast, we just needed to probably look in the mirror and ask yourself if that was the best you have," Halak said. "Everybody did their best."
Now they welcome a Toronto club that has scored one goal in its past two games, including a 5-1 loss to Florida on Tuesday.
"I threw a couple of pucks away on the power play, and I think we're all pressing and there's no need for it," Leafs winger Clarke MacArthur said.
The under is 8-2 in St. Louis' last 10 home games, and 5-1 in the Blues' last six overall. The under is also 5-2 in the last seven Maple Leafs-Blues games in St. Louis.
Pick: Under
Vancouver Canucks at Los Angeles Kings (-114, 5)
Having won once in their last six tries, the Kings entertain a rested Canucks squad that scored on five of six power-play chances in a 6-2 win at Chicago.
That victory wrapped up a 2-2 road trip for Vancouver, which has been inconsistent following last season's trip to the Stanley Cup finals.
But the Canucks enjoy facing Los Angeles. They've won five of the past seven meetings.
Vancouver has been off since Sunday. In their last 26 games on three or more days of rest, the Canucks are 21-5.
Pick: Canucks

....Just Think, Kutchie's Goody Goody Cheese Burgers, The Original Cheese Burgers In Paradise!
....That Alone Is Quite A Pretty Big Deal If You Ask Me. It's A Pretty Big Deal Even If You Don't Ask Me.
not good service at all...... – The food I got was decent. Yet, when I went in and placed my order for 2 kids meal to go, I got an attitude from the guy at the register. I did not have the kids with me and he was reluctant to ring up my order.
I couldn't believe it! If I want to order 20 kids meals for myself, I will. In this day and time when businesses are hurting, I would think they would be happy to have some type of business. I am not going to spend my money there again. I don't need someone giving me an attitude with what I order. No wonder the place was empty.......
the best of cheese burgers – Where you might ask, well I'll share it with you.........

Great Burger – I am in Nashville once a month on business and have to say that the salmon burger is great ! The price is very good for the quality of the food. I like to build my own and add extra onions and pickles. You can't get this type of food in Atlanta.
I sure wish we had one in the ATL...........
What happened to the turkey burgers? – This time last year, I would be raving about the great turkey burgers. Recently, I ordered one and was shocked at the difference. The texture, taste and appearance were completely awful. I have emailed them with my comments, but have had no response.
I may go in one day soon to see if they have returned to the original or something delicious. If I find that all is well, I will write a favorable review.
Blech! – I just went in to the location on 21st Ave and will NEVER return. I hadn't been since they changed their look and was taken aback by the menu. The woman flew through my order and before I could tell her that I wanted CHEESE on my turkey burger (who doesn't want cheese?) she had already rung up my order, taken my credit card and turned the order in! One slice of cheese was going to cost me an additional .60 cents! Since I had no cash, I declined to order it since my credit card had already been charged. Then she forgot my receipt and had to pull it out of the trashcan (ewww!)!! Last but not least upon returning to my office to eat said turkey burger I was appalled to discover that it tasted like a patty made out of nothing but FAT! That was the most disgusting piece of turkey burger I've ever had, and not worth the $6.39. BLECH!
NO Beefalo for YOU!! – i frequent the green hills c.c. alot..... but today I was given a reg. beef burger when i ordered a beefalo burger and when i went to get a credit (since the beefalo is $1.50 more ) was told it was my fault i ate the wrong burger. Even though it was the burger i was wrongly given.... i even tired to just get a credit towards a milkshake but was denied. Fernando said he had to throw the beefalo burger away so i still had to pay for it citing is was "MY FAULT" too... I made sure he knew that this was a bad business practice and cheating me , his customer. He didn't seem to mind. Well, this loyal customer will not dine with the green hills excuse for a cheese burger charlies please be advise to watch your orders....
Great burgers and healthy alternatives – Cheeseburger Charley's is one of my favorite quick bite stops in Nashville, specializing in in delicious freshly cooked hamburgers and other great alternatives for the more health conscious. The black bean burger is amazing, as well as the beefalo burger and the salmon burger. Their veggie bar makes customizing your sandwich with your favorite toppings (and as many or as few as you'd like) easy, and if you feel like treating yourself, the hand-scooped milkshakes are divine.
Cheeseburger Charley's: EMPLOYEE CLEANED the TABLE With a FLOOR MOP that was just used on the floor. – Employee CLEANED the TABLE WITH A FLOOR MOP. I spilled my drink on the table and floor, tried to clean it up with napkins but needed more cleaning supplies asked the employee nicely for a mop, he came out with a mop and mopped the floor than put the mop onto the table and mopped the table. My wife and I witness this and have never gone back. 2006
Offbeat burgers (think barley and mixed veggie) are a tasty alternative to the beef at this funky burger joint. – In Short
The grill cooks more than standard all-beef patties. Inside this diner-style joint, burgers are made with black beans, wheat and barley, mixed vegetables, turkey, and buffalo meat--all weighing in at under six grams of fat. Burgers arrive hot off the grill with a salad bar of fresh toppings. All orders will cry out for a basket of thick, hand-cut fries. Grilled cheese, smoked turkey, and grilled chicken sandwiches are also available.

It should not come as a surprise that the choice of a low information populace is a low information president.
Don´t usually post before reading an article but I had to here.If I read the word "historic" one more time I am going to go completely off my rocker. The fiscal cliff vote was historic only in the sense that it happened last week. I ate dinner at a Chinese restaurant last night, thats in the past too should I use the word historic to describe that meal?Every action is not earth shattering or history altering, the term historic can only be added to an event decades after the fact when the events true impact on history is known.Nixons opening of China, and his resignation are historic. His losing the election in 1960 or winning in 1968 are simply pedestrian facts.the only thing this congress or administration has done that will rise to historic levels (in my opinion) is their complete loss of spending control. That "historic" accomplishment is going to haunt every decision of every congress for the next two generations, if not longer.
Some people think Obama acts like an Idiot. But don´t let that fool you. He really is an Idiot.
Nice, #1.
After reading this, Im willing to cut Boehner some slack. I knew Obama was an idealoge socialist, but I didnt realize that he was "this" delusional.The media and Obama campaign perpertrated a fraud on the US electorate in 08, they double downed on the fraud in 2012. Unless and until the republican leadership get out in front of the voters, the dems will pull of another fraud in 2014 and 2016.
For John Boehner to be surprised at this makes me question his preparation and intelligence. If he doesn´t understand the person he is negotiating with, he is not likely to be successful. Think that President Obama´s writings, statements, and actions have been rather clear. I can´t understand why these comments by him would be a surprise.
Boehner is a boob. What every conservative knew from the beginning of the Keynon´s "historic" election, Boehner is only finding out after 4 years of "historic" deficits.Boehner is a Washington elite and a very weak leader.
Now having read the article I too can see Boehner in a more favorable (if dim) light. We all knew Obama was an ideologue and we all knew he was naieve. What has caught all of us, and Boehner, off guard is the fact that he is also delusional. Delusional is the way only a child can be, or a narcisistic sociopath.Governance has always been about compromise, and that is what every politician expects. Political hardball is just good business.Obama only played at politician, he campaigns like one and he puts on a pretty good show for cameras and handpicked audiences but he did not train in politics, he trained as a :community organizer".In that school there is a take no prisoners attitude where you never compromise, never bargain in good faith, never consider the other partys well being. If your winning means your opponents children are thrown into the street thats just gravy. Except now his opponents are us, the citizens of the United States regardless of political association.Obama lives in a fantasy bubble, one where there really are no consequences for his actions and the very real people he hurts are only a shadowy and evil "Them". Such a pathetic figure in such a powerful position is a national shame.Boehner is used to politicians wearing a mask, his mistake was believing that Obama was a politician.
In which alternate universe has Boehner been occupying these last 4 years to think Obama was a compromiser? Whew!
This is a good article and ought to be required reading for keyboard warriors those who think dealing with a highly ideological and newly re-elected president ought to be some sort of picnic.
The stark reality is that Obama is a dope, plain and simple. Everything attributed to him by the MSM has been produced by his legions of czars, communist, socialist and even criminal stooges. He merely guesses at where to "X" on the executive orders and dashes to the golf course or another 25 million dollar vacation. He is the perfect mirror of most of the American electorate.
Clearly we need a Speaker that is prepared to deal with an ideologue.Too bad they reelected one that isn´t again.
Actually there is both a spending problem and a revenue problem. At 16% of GDP, revenue is well below the postwar average of 19%. And spending at 25% is outtasight.
Mr. Boehner, The president can´t spend a dime without your say-so. Also, we absolutely do not have to increase the debt limit to pay our debt obligations.
#31, your comparing Apples to Oranges - or better yet falling for the DC mindtrap/brainwash. Are wages, salaries and family wealth at same levels also?The dirty secret is that these bass turds only count for revenue the tax receipts from we the people. They DO NOT account for the trillions in annual revenue or wealth created from stock market investments, global currency investments, land-leases, building leases, miniral rights, parking tools, fees, penalties, on and on.I´ve seen estimates that the ´public´ sector from DC on down to your local School Board owns 85% of the DOW and NASDAQ....

Two years ago, Oregon could never get its tempo going against Auburn. It seemed every time the Ducks got warmed up there was a TV timeout.
Q: When was the last time 'Bama played versus a good hurry-up offense? 2009 vs. Utah? Saban's scared.
A: Alabama fans blame that loss on "indifference" after losing the SEC title game to Florida. The Crimson Tide wasn't motivated to play Utah even though it was the Sugar Bowl and the game was on national television.
I say Alabama simply got played off its feet by the Mountain West that day and it helped motivate the Crimson Tide to win the national title in 2009.
I also guarantee you this: Nick Saban would rather face LSU again in the BCS title game than face Oregon.
Saban knows what he's getting in LSU. It would be a defensive game probably won by a field goal.
Saban would not be "scared" of Oregon — but he might be nervous.
Q: Will Oregon get their Willie Lyles postseason ban before the end of the season?
A: I predict there will be some NCAA action against Oregon before the end of the year but it won't affect this season's team.
Oregon would have time to respond to any possible NCAA accusations in the Willie Lyles case.
Example: Central Florida last summer was hit with a one-year bowl ban by the NCAA. Central Florida is bowl eligible this season, however, because the school is appealing the ruling.
Q: Wondering what is going on with USC Coach Lane Kiffin? Geesh, you have two of what have been called the best wide receivers in the nation and you run the ball on third and 13?
Joan Ho `ola'l Kahalueuahi
A: USC's offense has been one of this season's biggest disappointments. I never fathomed the Trojans entering the Colorado game ranked No. 57 nationally in offense.
What must have USC coaches and players thought watching Oregon's offense simply destroy Arizona State on Thursday night?
Kiffin obviously does not have enough confidence in his offensive line, specifically left tackle, to let Matt Barkley sit in the pocket and throw down the field.
The loss of Matt Kalil at left tackle was bigger than anyone imagined, and having center Khaled Holmes banged up has affected continuity.
Barkley threw 10 touchdown passes the first two weeks against Hawaii and Syracuse — he's thrown only six in four games since.

Looks to me that specifying 0 will not have any effect on suppressing the generation of the DelegatingClassLoaders. The value apparently needs to something very big and it has to be

My question is, why there are a lot of mentioning about setting this property value to 0 and whether setting a large number such as Integer.MAX_VALUE is safe, if that is what needs to be done.

Well, it does come up every now and then. What size is your PermGen at the moment?
The number of DelegatingClassLoader resides in the heap is around 1647 at the beginning and it gradually increases up to 7210.Well, I can imagine Spring using plenty of reflection, but still it sounds a bit too excessive to run out of permgen just with these.
Application is running in JBoss environment and the dominator of the heap memory space is spring, hibernate, and JAX-WS.
920490 wrote:The default value was at least at one point 64MB, so running out of half a gig of permgen would suggest that there's a design flaw causing this.
It is presumably very large. I say presumably, because it is a project we recently took over and not something we know thoroughly.
I wonder if DelegationClassLoader is ever garbage collected...In what situation are you running out of permgen space? Are you hot redeploying the app and that causes it to run out, or is it long running and after N days of usage it crashes?
920490 wrote:But the classloader leak only applies to when undeploying the application, when parts of the previous deployment can't be unloaded.
and I think it is what is happening with the DelegatingClassLoaders. It is going to be very hard to spot the ClassLoader leak though.
>Thanks for your response and sorry for this belated notice.
But the classloader leak only applies to when undeploying the application, when parts of the previous deployment can't be unloaded.
Since you aren't redeploying, it would mean that your permgen size just isn't big enough for normal operation. Have you tried upping the permgen space some more, just to test whether it will eventually run out with 768M or even 1G?
If you have tests made for the software (yea yea, but just in case you did), you could churn out some load testing to see whether it'll happen or not.
We see thousands of these, each with different GeneratedMethodAccessorXXXX, where XXXX represents some sequential number as the one in the hierarchy above. The element at the very bottom is Thread which is a GC root and it is not garbage collectable. It references a BaseClassLoader which holds the ognl.OgnlRuntime indirectly in its Vector. The ognl.OgnlRuntime retains a reference to java.lang.reflect.Method who has reference to sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor14121 that is loaded by sun.reflect.DelegatingClassLoader. Could this be a ClassLoader Leak?

Thanks for your response and sorry for this belated notice.
I thinks what's using up our PermGen may be the ognl.OgnlRuntimeSounds like a very likely culprit.
What is your opinion? May be that system really needs more memory and 512 is not enough at all.You might want to test it out, if you can.
By the way, I really appreciate you have been giving me advices. Thanks!It's been an interesting question. I'm not sure if we have a "resident" expert on these things on the forums, at least he hasn't participated (also he might not be following this particular forum).
Thank you for this info. I think it is culprit of the memory leak. There are indeed other DelegatingClassLoaders also observed in the heap dump, as other frame works also uses reflective method calls. However, there is difference. I see no "other classloader" between the Thread(GC root) and the DelegatingClassLoader. For instance, DelegatingClassLoaders which is created upon reflective call made by an object returned by DefaultListableBeanFactory has the GC root of a Thread which probably terminates only when JBoss is shutdown.I thinks what's using up our PermGen may be the ognl.OgnlRuntimeSounds like a very likely culprit.
I noticed the methodParameterTypesCache there, and googled to see whether there was any info about it, like whether it's possible to flush it.
Found this http://grokbase.com/t/struts/user/0948kcdd77/struts-and-permgen-errors-with-ognl-method-parameters-cache so you're not alone with this problem, and the cache seems to be involved.
Also another googling trip provided with "CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled" and "CMSClassUnloadingEnabled" runtime parameters, you might want to look into those as well.

Mother of Courtney Stodden Supports Daughter's Marriage, Real Breastsby Hilton Hater at .
Courtney Stodden is a 16-year old who married a 51-year old, veteran actor Doug Hutchison.
But the aspiring singer's mother sees nothing wrong with this union, giving it her full blessing in a statement released soon after news of the couple's May 20th wedding went public this week:
"We are totally supportive of this marriage," said Krista Stodden, who had to sign off to make it legal. "Doug is a wonderful man and we love him. They are very much in love and we are so supportive of this. Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl."
Mrs. Stodden also wants to set the record straight about her daughter's body, adding: "She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic."
Awww, so as you can see, Courtney and Doug are just two people who met, fell in love and... wait, what?!?
What do you think of the relationship between Stodden - whose career, based on the video above, needs all the help it can get - and Hutchison?

A thriller of intrigue and self-delusion in contemporary Sweden. JW (The Killing's Joel Kinnaman) is a handsome, suave grad student at Stockholm's business school. He's a much-prized guest at weekend parties at palatial family estates where clever repartee holds sway over candlelit dinners. But there's another JW who's busy sewing expensive buttons onto cheap shirts while working nights as a cabbie and selling term papers to make ends meet. When a beautiful young woman from on high is smitten with him, the stakes grow ever higher. JW falls in with an international array of drug-dealing thugs who promise easy money for some solid financial advice about laundering the big bucks they plan to make from a cocaine deal. JW may be a shallow cad, but he's an amateur in the double- and triple-crossing world of Serbian mafiosos and Swedish bankers who provide a post-graduate education he'll never forget.
"A depth rarely found in gangster films… The screenplay, by Maria Karlsson — written in collaboration with Mr. Espinosa, Fredrik Wikstrom and Hassan Loo Sattarvandi — humanizes these criminals, and your feelings about them change as the story proceeds… Builds to a whopping finale that, without seeming to preach, bears out Mr. Espinosa's statement: 'Gangster films should always be moral stories.'"
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Click here to read the full review.
"GRADE A. Joel Kinnaman has gone from rising (THE KILLING) to rocketing star (the lead in the upcoming RoboCop remake). The movie that first planted him on the map in Sweden in 2010 is finally being released here. But EASY MONEY is not merely an early-career curiosity. It's one of the best underworld films I've seen in years and Kinnaman gives a fantastic performance. EASY MONEY is full of arresting cutthroats."
– Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"Impressive! JW is played brilliantly by Joel Kinnaman. The director, Mr. Espinosa, handles the social climbing and the multicultural criminality with great aplomb and relentless energy."
– Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Dazzling! May well be the crime film of the year, or the decade. It features a star-making performance from the supremely handsome and immensely talented Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman. (A) gripping, almost operatic rise-and-fall saga…captured in convincing and intimate detail. Elegantly structured. The cinematography is often exhilarating. Quite a few moments of surprising emotional power, not customarily found in this genre."
– Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"Savor the tang of this top-drawer Scandinavian thriller. (A) splendid crime story. EASY MONEY succeeds because of Espinosa's impressive filmmaking skills; he's a master at the mechanics of motion-picture action, and he's got a facility for building tension and keeping viewers off balance… (and) an eye for small details, as well as a gift for psychological complexity."
– Kenneth Turan, NPR
"As the general run of action films blithely defies the laws of gravity and consequence, what a pleasure to find a movie as grounded, physically and emotionally, as… EASY MONEY."
– Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"It's obvious from EASY MONEY why Espinosa would be going places. So long as he takes Kinnaman with him, the gentleman can have our hard-earned cash… For those who only know him from the show (AMC's The Killing), Kinnaman's wary-eyed turn in this Stockholm-set potboiler will take you aback; once again, he's the best reason to tune in."
– David Fear, Time Out New York
"(A) thoroughly engaging saga of corruption. Retains its suave composure right through the engrossing finale."
– Eric Kohn, Indiewire
"EASY MONEY pretty much had me at 'Joel Kinnaman.' And he doesn't disappoint: as a social-climbing student mixed up in a mob scheme, Kinnaman is transfixing. But this tense, gritty, often heartbreaking underworld drama is much more than just a showcase for the actor's talents… EASY MONEY's big heist scene is the only action set piece so far this year that was so suspenseful I could feel my heartbeat in my ears… Genre films this smart and character-driven don't come along often on either side of the Atlantic."

How to start a Non Emergency Transport Business
by kwmullikin, Window Shopper
- Created: February 3, 2013, 2:45 pm
My wife and I are trying to start a non emergency transport business in Gainesville, Florida. There are really only two major transporters currently in our area but I understand there are about 20 mom and pop operations around the area. We are looking to start out with just one vehicle but we want to do all of our homework before starting. We have registered with SCORE here locally and will be meeting with them next month. My wife is a nurse practitioner and I have worked with Fedex for over 26 years. My wife works in a local hospital and works at assisted living facilities in a different city and county. So she has quite a few contacts. Just looking for advice on what to research in my local area to make sure we do all our homework. I also know the owner of one of the major transporters in the area but I feel awkward asking him questions when I could potentially be a competitor. I know he runs his operation in a top notch manner. Any advise on where to go from here would be helpful.

Home > Research > Publications > News & Notes
By Matthew W. Stolper, Professor,
The Oriental Institute and the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations
The University of Chicago
(This article originally appeared in The Oriental Institute News and Notes, No. 129, May-June 1991, and is made available electronically with the permission of the editor.)
On a sunny morning in the autumn of 1980, I passed a tour group standing at Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, a few yards from The Oriental Institute. I was new to Chicago. I had studied architectural history years before, and it seemed to me that one of the fine things about working at The Oriental Institute was having a monument like the Robie House so close at hand. To my surprise, though, the tour guide was not talking about Frank Lloyd Wright. "That building," she said, pointing across the way, "is The Oriental Institute. They're writing a Babylonian dictionary there. They started work on it …oh, a long time ago, and they'll probably go on working on it forever."
I had come to Chicago to work on the Assyrian Dictionary project, but I thought of the work ahead as an extended but finite apprenticeship, not as a lifelong vocation to an eternal service, and considered interrupting the guide to tell the listeners "No, the Dictionary is mostly done. It'll be finished in ten years…or so." At the same time, the way the guide had characterized the Institute seemed remarkable. She might have said something like "That's where the mummies are," but instead she chose an example of long-term pure research. The arcane quality of the "Babylonian dictionary" was probably meant to be amusing, but only partly so.
She had picked an example that was more expressive than her listeners could possibly understand. The CAD was not primeval, but it was almost coeval with The Oriental Institute. It was conceived as a realization of the broadest and grandest original aims of the Institute. It was even one of the things that determined the physical layout of The Oriental Institute building itself.
The Assyrian Dictionary project came into existence in 1921, two years after The Oriental Institute was organized. At first, it was housed in the basement of the Haskell Oriental Museum, where "a commodious office has been built in, fitted with light, heat and ventilation and properly equipped".[1] (Readers of the recent biography of James Murray, the first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, will appreciate this subterranean comfort for its contrast with Murray's galvanized metal hut and the boxes with which he kept his feet from the drafts.) By the time the new building was ready, the Dictionary's demands for space were already growing, but even if there is a hint of testiness in Breasted's curt statement in an otherwise expansive description of the new facility, "…the third floor of the Institute's building provides spacious accommodation for the Assyrian Dictionary project, which needs a large amount of room," [2] he had already taken a large view of the project in laying out the building plan, a view that is still plain in the interconnected rooms expressly designed for the tablet collection, the Dictionary's editors and assistants, the duplicating equipment, and the files.
Breasted's once temperate public utterances about The Oriental Institute and its projects came ever more to follow Daniel Burnham's celebrated exhortation to "make no small plans." In the hard times of 1933, Breasted characterized the Institute without a trace of academic deference as "essentially an organized endeavor to recover the lost story of the rise of man by salvaging the surviving evidence on a more comprehensive scale than has hitherto been possible and then by analysis and synthesis building up an account of human development on a broader basis of evidence than has heretofore been available."[3] Time and again, he emphasized the scope and scale of the Institute's projects, the resulting sense of solidity of the results that they promised, and the commitments of resources that they demanded; sometimes he invoked the long expenditures of time required by the works he considered as worthy intellectual models, such as the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum: "although Mommsen [the German philologist and historian who was the principal founder of the Corpus] fully expected to see the completion of this impressive task in his own lifetime, the work is still under way a generation after his death, and …, although it has been going on for more than a century, it is still incomplete".[4] It seems that Breasted was used to the idea that some of the Institute's projects would outlive their founders and outgrow their founders' grandest expectations.
The explicit models for the Assyrian Dictionary were the Oxford English Dictionary and the Berlin Egyptian dictionary. The CAD, initiated as these dictionaries were nearing completion, was to share some of their characteristics: it was not to be a bald correlation of Akkadian words and English definitions, but was to consider and display every citation of every word in an extended context; it was to be organized historically, to reveal the evolution of meanings over the two millennia in which Akkadian was written; it was to draw on the cooperation and expertise of an international community of scholars; and it was to include, insofar as it was possible, the whole known corpus of Akkadian texts, to be a "thesaurus," a compendious encyclopaedia of the literal contents of Akkadian texts and, indirectly, of Mesopotamian civilizations.
While the dictionary itself was in process, its burgeoning files were to be a unique foundation for basic historical research. Breasted quoted Albert T. Olmstead, professor of ancient Near Eastern history in the Institute:
The filing of cards with full context in one drawer permits an examination of all the material hitherto gathered on any one subject. For example, under ardu, "slave," we find all the material available for any desired study on slavery.[5]In retrospect, of course, this notion that complex social and economic relationships can be understood merely in lexical terms by tracing some words associated with them seems naive and even misleading, but it was true nevertheless that the resources for historical exploration that the files offered to scholars at the Institute and that the Dictionary promised to open to the whole scholarly world were unparalleled in scale and quality.
The Oxford English Dictionary had begun work in 1879 and published the last volume of the "Principal Dictionary," as the main set excluding the supplements was known, just under fifty years later, in 1928. The speedier Egyptian dictionary had begun work in Berlin in 1897 and published the last of its five volumes in 1931. How long was the CAD, conceived on a similar scale, to take? Breasted was at first optimistic:
It is as yet hardly possible to hazard a guess which would be of any value, as to the length of time required to complete the Assyrian dictionary; but eight to ten years of such progress as has already been made will probably be sufficient to bring it near completion.[6]but later he became purposely vague:
With perhaps sixteen years altogether to be devoted to the carding of the texts, an indefinitely long period to be required for the preparation of the word- treatments, and further years to be needed for publication of six large and highly technical volumes, the outstanding magnitude of the Assyrian Dictionary project becomes somewhat easier to visualize.[7]After the Second World War, as the project reached the age of twenty-five, an impatient administration encouraged the reorganization under a plan with the basic requirement
…that the Dictionary be completed and ready for publication within a ten-year period. The task was to be started in October 1947…, and it was to be finished by the end of 1957.[8]Over time, as the tour guide's comment suggested, the project's perdurability became a distressingly conspicuous public quality:
The folks at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute say that the last of the hoped-for 21 volumes won't be out until around 1980.[9]
The Chicago Assyrian Dictionary Project... may itself qualify as ancient. Work began in 1921, the first volume emerged in 1956, the 14th in 1977, and the world may be shuddering at the gates of 1984 before the CAD reaches an honorable conclusion.[10]But these joking suppositions that the Dictionary is unending and in some sense unchanging misapprehend the accomplishments of the project and the changing character of the task.
In fact, most of the main part of the job is in hand, and it exceeds even Breasted's generous expectations of its scale. Breasted guessed that the final product might run to about 3,000 pages in six volumes[11] but the first fifteen published volumes (A, B, D, E, G, , I/J, K, L, M, N, Q, S, , and Z) already include about 6,200 pages. Of the six volumes that remain, the first part of one () has just been published (another 492 pages) with the balance of it in press, the manuscript of another (T) is about to be sent to press, and the basic drafts of three more (P, R and ) are nearly complete. Only one volume (U/W) remains to be started from scratch, and even here, because of historical and phonetic peculiarities of Akkadian, much of what other dictionaries or glossaries would enter under U or W has already been published under A or M. The end of the "Principal Dictionary" is in sight, even if the date of the end is unknown.
The Dictionary has distinctly not become the sort of thesaurus that Breasted envisioned, for various reasons. One is the fact that although the language is dead, the corpus of Akkadian texts is very much alive. Newly published texts produce a constant supply of "new" words, "new"' nuances of known words, evidence of usage from "new" sites and areas, and new evidence of known usages. Another reason is less apparent, the result of a basic policy decision.
Breasted's supposition in 1933 about a six-volume CAD presumed that the whole dictionary would be published more or less simultaneously, an internally consistent document that would reflect the best scholarly results of a given time, enhanced precisely by the broad perspectives and exact insights that would be enforced by making the whole document consistent. The ten- year plan of 1946 still held to a similar assumption, proposing that actually writing the dictionary would take the last five years of the period. But in 1954, the decision was made to publish one volume per letter of the alphabet, and to publish the volumes as they were ready, one volume at a time for as long as it would take to finish the Dictionary. That decision completely changed the original notion of the Dictionary's consistency, and endowed the Dictionary with development and change, a career of scholarly publication, and even a sort of personality.
The first volumes ( and G, published in that order in 1956) were, among other things, field trials meant to shake out problems of procedure, format and content that would be remedied in later volumes. By the early 1960s, the editorial format of the Dictionary was mostly set. The Dictionary had found its voice and had begun to engage philologists and historians in a series of debates that has continued throughout the thirty-five years in which volumes have been published. The present editor-in-charge, Erica Reiner, is quoted in this way:
This is not a bland dictionary. …We stick out our necks, and then somebody comes along ten years later and corrects the guess. I don't think corrections will come out unless we say something. One writes a dictionary against something-against an accepted opinion. [12]As a result--and to the distress of users who want a dictionary to be a simple key to the word-by-word decoding of another language, precise, exact and immutable--the Dictionary's translations run a gamut between conclusions founded on an unshakable array of evidence and provocative assertions about slim data. The field responds by writing against something, too--against the Dictionary's authority--in critical scholarship on the vocabulary of social and economic institutions and practices, material culture, the natural setting of Mesopotamian societies, and other such complex conceptual and historical fields. To a degree that is not always readily apparent, the process of bringing forth the Dictionary has provoked, cajoled, advanced and shaped the scholarship a generation of not always cheerful Mesopotamianists.
A feedback loop results--actually, at least two such loops. The criticism that the Dictionary provokes is incorporated into later volumes in the form of reconsideration, rebuttal, amendment or mere changes of emphasis. Furthermore, to an ever-growing degree, collaborators on the Dictionary have had their basic understanding of the language and the issues of interpreting it shaped by the Dictionary itself from their earliest professional training.
In effect, the Dictionary itself has had a career, in scholarship. When it was thirty-five years old, like a junior scholar at the peak of his powers, it produced its first volume and began to learn from its public mistakes. Now, at seventy, after a career of vigorous debate with the Assyriological community, it has some of the characteristics of an eminent senior scholar: set, sometimes old-fashioned ways of expression, coupled with such attributes of maturity as an immensely complex and subtle understanding of the material and its interrelationship. Constant reflection and re-evaluation, leading sometimes to refinement of older views, sometimes to acknowledgment of uncertainty, and often to wholly new insights about the words, the texts that carry the words and the historical moments that produced the texts.

Summary of Blackbird Lake Summary of Blackbird Lake Reviews for Blackbird Lake An Excerpt from Blackbird Lake
From New York Times bestselling author Jill Gregory—a heartwarming, romantic novel of a rodeo champion who returns to his hometown and unexpectedly falls in love—with a beautiful young woman and her tiny daughter.
When rodeo champ Jake Tanner returns to Lonesome Way, Carly McKinnon may be the only one not happy about it. The last thing she wants is Jake finding out about her daughter—or rather, their daughter. Since their one-night fling years ago, Carly has been a great parent on her own. And the footloose Jake isn't the sort of father she wants for little Emma.
But once Jake learns the truth, he wants to be a part of Emma's life even if he's not going to be a part of Carly's. Even though the pair agrees to try to be friends, they soon find that being "just friends" isn't so easy. The red-hot attraction between them sets off sparks they thought they had left behind. Despite their rocky past and uncertain future, can Carly and Jake find their way into each other's arms—and hearts?

Beware the risks of tax reimbursement theft
Learning the best way to fight back against tax refund burglary means keeping your personal financial data safe. Here are a few ways you can make that occur. Source for this article: 500 personal loan that i can pay back over time
Robbing refunds
In the first three quarters of 2012, there was a 62 percent increase in the number of tax reimbursement thefts reported from the same period in 2011. It increased from 232,142 reported cases to 641,690, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. There are plenty of ways for people to get your social security numbers, including hacking into any organization such as a school, bank or employer. Normally, the tax ID is taken to fraudulently claim a refund.
Project your identity
Make sure you avoid letting people have your social security number unless absolutely necessary. You need to also keep away from carrying your social security card or documents with the figures around with you.
Check your credit history
Use AnnualCreditReport.com each year to get a free copy of your credit history. If you suspect identity burglary has occurred, however, then sign up for a monitoring service that informs you when major changes occur. Equifax, Experian and TransUnion all have something of this nature available to the public.
Guard financial documentation
You need to always stay away from throwing away financial files without shredding them. Even shredding may not be enough sometimes. Keep them filed away in your home or have your accountant keep track of them. Most identity thieves get the info out of the garbage.
Stay away from letting people on your PC
Many consumers have lost their information quickly because they did not guard their computer. It is simple to accidently give data to a scam site instead of a real one. Make sure you are careful about where you put out information. Also, make sure you have antivirus software to keep people from watching what you put in online.
Tax reimbursement theft protection step No. 5 - Don't expose sensitive data over the phone
Whether the person you are speaking with is hiding their identity thief nature, or someone is intercepting your wireless phone conversation, the telephone is where some customers lose the privacy battle. Be cautious before giving up sensitive bits of data.
Doing something about it
If you become a victim of tax reimbursement burglary, contact the Internal Revenue Service and police quickly, as well as the Social Security Administration and the three major credit bureaus. If the thief has already filed a return and collected your reimbursement, it may take as long as a year to resolve the issue.

Share the post "Water, Water Everywhere: SEA LIFE & Water Conservation"
Here in the middle of the United States, we seldom get to experience ocean life. That changed last month, at least in a modest way, with the opening of the SEA LIFE Aquarium at Crown Center which offers more than 5,000 sea creatures in 12 different habitat zones. As KCPT producer Pam James shows us, the new SEA LIFE Center is more than just looking at pretty fish. It also has important lessons to teach us about conservation.
