text: Report: Gitmo Prisoners Are So Pampered Even Hunger Strikers Gain Weight Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 30 Jun 2013 post a comment According to a report in the New York Post, prisoners at Guantánamo Bay are so pampered that even hunger strikers gain weight. The report shows that far from facing the kind of hardships we might naturally associate with being imprisoned, Gitmo inmates ate so much food a few years ago that treadmills were ordered for them so they could lose weight. Then, when it was learned the treadmills had not been made in a Muslim country the machines were sent back and new treadmills--"made in a Muslim part of the world"--were purchased. All of this to keep our prisoners happy. An anonymous official with firsthand knowledge of the treadmill fiasco describes Gitmo detainees as "some of the most pampered prisoners on the planet." According to him, "Islamic prayer beads and rugs" are now "standard issue" and the prisoners "get their choice of more than 10,000 Islamic books and videos stocked by a Muslim librarian, who also records soccer and Arabic TV for them." By the way, the prisoners also have access to a new $750,000 soccer field. On top of these things, detainees have succeeded in persuading "prison officials to stop raising the American flag anywhere they can see it." The one thing we do not give to Gitmo inmates is a Bible, for fear that the presence of Bibles could "incite" a riot. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

I also anticipate a revival among emerging world economies, which should restart the global manufacturing recovery.

Area codes[edit]
In the 1950s, AT&T assigned Greater Cleveland Area code 216, which included all of Northeast Ohio. In 1996, Area code 216 was reduced in size to cover the northern half of its prior area, centering on Cleveland and its lake shore suburbs. Area code 330 was introduced for the southern half of Greater Cleveland, including Medina County.
In 1997, area code 216 was further split as the need for additional phone numbers grew. Area code 216 was reduced in geographical area to cover the city of Cleveland and its inner ring suburbs. Area code 440 was introduced to cover the remainder of was what previously area code 216, including all of Lorain, Geauga, and Lake counties, and parts of Cuyahoga County. Some communities, such as Parma, and Parma Heights were divided between the 216 and 440 area codes. In 1999, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced federal legislation to protect small and medium-sized cities from being split into two or more area codes.[30][31]
In 2000, it was anticipated that the available phone numbers in area code 330 would be exhausted, and an overlay area code was introduced. Area code 234 was assigned to overlap existing area code 330. With the creation of area code 234, any new phone number in the geographical area formerly covered by area code 330 could be assigned a phone number in either the 234 or 330 area codes, with no change in local or long distance toll status. This made necessary the use of ten-digit dialing within the 330/234 area code region. After the introduction of area code 234, assignments of new telephone numbers in the area did not continue at an accelerated pace, and new phone numbers for area code 234 were not assigned until 2003.[32]
In 2011 the Greater Cleveland area had a GDP of $134.4 billion (up from $130.7 billion in 2008), which would rank 57th among countries. Cleveland also has the twelfth highest merchandise value at $109.2 billion.[4]

KayneCraft Texture Pack
I had just recently reviewed a Texture Pack called Minecraft 4Kids which was a mixture between realistic and cartoon. Today I have a similar one for you. The KayneCraft Texture Pack which is in 2 resolutions, the 64x and the 128x.
Now when I say similar, its similar and not the same, the Minecraft 4Kids is very well balanced between realistic and cartoon, however the KayneCraft Texture Pack leans more toward the cartoon side. Its textures like those you see in the image above is very cartoonish. The dirt, the ores, even the fire (which I like very much) are very cartoonish. Its something that would make your minecraft experience a little more relax if you ask me. Not those serious incredibly detailed ones like, you know LB Photo Realism or an historic Creative_Ones's Medieval Pack.
KayneCraft Texture Pack version 1.9 Changelogs
- Updated Jungle wood, leaf, and sapling
- Removed glowstone from Iron Banding
- Use iron banded glowstone for lamps
- New XP potion texture
- Fixed language button not showing
- Updated pack icon
- New Leather and iron armour
How to Install KanyeCraft Texture Pack for Minecraft 1.7.9 and 1.7.X
- Download KayneCraft Texture Pack for Minecraft
- Save the folder to .Minecraft/Texture Packs
- Patch Minecraft using MCPatcher HD (follow the instructions in the link)
- Open Minecraft and select the KayneCraft Texture Pack in the Texture Pack folder.
- Enjoy Minecraft!

PrimaLoft Silver Insulation Eco promises a synergy of the excellent warmth, softness and comfort that PrimaLoft products are known for, in an earth-friendly synthetic insulation. Approximately 28 recycled water bottles are used in the making of each kilogram of insulation, which averages 6 bottles per finished jacket. Millions of air pockets trap your body heat for immediate warmth without the bulk, and a permanent water-repellent treatment keeps you warm even in the wettest conditions. Enjoy the environment as you conserve it.
PrimaLoft Silver Insulation Eco uses post-consumer recycled materials to create the highest- performing eco-friendly insulation available. The wet performance experts at PrimaLoft, Inc., have combined this 70%-recycled fiber technology with a proprietary water-repellent treatment for immediate warmth without the bulk that keeps you comfortable in wet weather. Highly compressible, and with a soft feel that mimics goose down the best-in-class eco-friendly insulation offers insulation that performs with a conscience.
A soft shell technology breakthrough. Apex is a signature material, researched and developed exclusively by The North Face. Apex makes the fleece/shell combination possible through its proprietary blend of characteristics. Apex offers the dynamic duo of a tightly woven abrasion-phobic face for protection, and a soft-brushed interior for performance and comfort. Apex technology is built to stretch for comfort and mobility and is treated with our Durable Water Resistant (DWR) finish.
Apex features are nylon constructed and woven for stretch enhancement to achieve the balance between weather resistance and breathability. The average air permeability rating for these fabrics is below 20 CFM.
Apex is finished with DWR to increase water shed. DWR is laboratory tested for durability and extended wash and wear according to the standard AATCC 22 Water Repellency Spray Test. All Apex™ fabrics meet The North Face standard rating of 90 (70 after a specified number of home washings) for long-term durability.)
All Apex garments keep you dry in a thick fog or light rain environment. Apex garments are built for warmth. The tightly woven fabric face creates a hard barrier to the elements of cold weather, while the soft-brushed interior allows for a soft warm-next-to-skin feel. The brushed interior also promotes a microclimate, allowing for superior moisture management and continued climate control.

Practice, Practice, Practice!
Over-prepare answers to common
interview questions. Know your strengths, weaknesses,
why you want to work for the company, and the answer
to 'tell me about yourself' by heart. But don't sound
Videotape yourself or practice with a friend to get comfortable with your answers and to assess non-verbal communication cues. Practice handshake and appropriate eye contact.
Practice difficult questions and behavioral interview questions to prepare answers ahead of time.

Come On! Lyrics - The D4
Running around,stop fussing you,
Everybody's talking,nobody's walking,
Hanging around and around,
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
I don't know if I'm going out,
I don't care much for hanging about,
Beautiful girls walking down the street,
But I don't care cause none of them gonna meet me,
Come on, Come on
Come on, Come on
Tonight at nine, I'm gonna sort it out,
Running through this jungle with a stick in my hand,
I'm gonna beat it about,
All i want to do,I gotta whip it out,
Well i'll be shaking out the shadows 'bout a quarter to four,
You'll see me snaking like a cheater till I'm back at your door,
Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on

Annual Manual 2014
Published: March 26, 2014
Orlando's reputation as a spot for fun-seekers isn't entirely based on its International Drive allure – at least, not if you ask a native. Our bars, clubs and live music venues offer a more distinguishing palate a variety of environments for a spectrum of tastes: a tour of the world's best craft beers, a speakeasy time traveller's fantasy, a game geek's dream dance floor, budget-blasting arena rock, intimate performances by budding musical talents and so much more.

Total Bummer Fest
Summer, various venues
A trippy dance party of electronic bands who do much more than stand behind a laptop, this festival ensures that the town is painted in shades much more psychedelic than simply red.
October, Audubon Park
The AP Garden District encourages you to dress as a zombie – including full, gory makeup – then parade down Corrine Drive to enjoy live music, horror films, a costume contest and local food trucks and vendors.

Using Drugs Right
I just finished writing an article on over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and how their safety and market approvals are managed (look for it in the May issue of PharmTech). As a consumer, something stood out in my research. No matter how many times a drug product's label is revised and reviewed by companies and regulatory authorities, and no matter the extent of the safety and effectiveness studies completed and approved, the safety of a drug ultimately rests in the hands of the consumer. As patients or caregivers, it is our responsibility to read a drug label or information packet thoroughly, to measure a dose appropriately, and to monitor when and how often a drug should be taken.
Standard-setting bodies, regulatory authorities, and industry have been battling this challenge for years. Because they can't come into our homes to help us take medication properly, they have gone over in painstaking detail the way a label should read so that it can be easily understood by the average consumer. They are constantly revising the way labels and information packages should be written, designed, and distributed.
Most recently, FDA is considering the use of one-page information sheets for prescription products (say goodbye to those multiple page inserts found in pharmacy prescription bags) and USP is looking toward a national standard for prescription labels. FDA also recently released a guidance for industry to help improve label comprehension studies (drug manufacturers perform these studies to test consumer understanding of product labels). Across the Atlantic, EMA is considering better harmonizing drug labels and package leaflets across the European Union.
These efforts are important and may help consumers in self-selecting OTC as well as self-administering OTC and prescription products, but consumers also need to be more vigilant. How many times, for example, have you thrown away a medication's packaging or prescription leaflet simply because you've taken it before and know exactly how much to take, and how often? I certainly have. What if the drug's dosage or strength changed since the last time you took it, however? You would never know and could end up taking too much, or too little of the product. What if you are taking a new drug, and there are drug interactions that you need to be aware of, but don't because you didn't read the fine print on the label?
A pharmacist can help answer questions and a doctor can prescribe the right dosage, but once we as consumers bring home a medication, there's no one there to help make sure we administer the drug properly. This is our responsibility.

Plane misses Bali runway and lands in sea
More News from Agence France-Presse
DENPASAR, Indonesia – A passenger jet operated by budget airline Lion Air – which recently sealed blockbuster orders for new planes – missed the runway at Bali airport Saturday and landed in the sea but everybody on board survived.
The Boeing jet carrying more than 100 passengers missed the runway as it came in to land in good weather conditions at Denpasar airport on the Indonesian resort island, transport ministry official Herry Bhakti told Agence France-Presse.
Bhakti initially said the plane overshot the runway, but later clarified his comments to say that it landed straight in the water.
Images of the incident site showed the plane partially submerged in the water with inflatable slides deployed from the front exits and a large crack in the fuselage towards the rear of the aircraft. Passengers in life jackets could be seen in the water.
"The plane was about to land when suddenly it fell into the sea. People on board panicked and began screaming," a passenger named Dewi, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, told AFP, her voice still shaking.
She received light head injuries and was taken to Denpasar hospital where an AFP correspondent saw another nine people receiving treatment.
A Lion Air spokesman said the 737-800 was carrying 101 passengers and seven crew members. The passengers included 95 adults, five children, and one baby. Bhakti initially said it had been carrying more than 130 passengers.
He said the aircraft started operating in 2012 and was new.
The national transportation safety committee "will investigate the cause of the incident", he said.
It was not immediately clear how many people were injured in the incident or what the nationalities of the passengers were.
Lion Air, a little-known carrier launched 13 years ago with just one plane, has in recent times struck two of the world's largest aircraft orders in a staggering $46 billion bet on Indonesia's air transport boom.
France announced last month that Indonesia's fastest-growing airline had agreed to buy 234 medium-haul A320 jets worth $23.8 billion (18.4 billion euros) from European aerospace giant Airbus.
It came after Lion Air astounded the industry with a $22.4 billion deal for 230 Boeing 737 airliners, inked in 2011 as a visiting US President Barack Obama looked on.
Bali is a hugely popular holiday destination, welcoming millions of foreign tourists from around the world every year.

Holly Schiffrin (UMW) column on consumer psychology: School's in Recession: Lessons on Being Happier
illustration by iSTOCKPHOTO AND GAIL CHOOCHAN/THE FREE LANCE-STAR
Visit the Photo Place
People adapt to hedonic pleasures in their lives and return to their baseline level of happiness. This relationship also holds true for society at large, as demonstrated by what's called the "progress paradox": Despite significant progress and economic growth over the past 50 years, happiness levels have remained relatively constant or declined.
The good news is that the genetic basis of happiness accounts for about only 50 percent of people's happiness levels. However, the things that we think would make us happy--
There are a few qualifications to the general rule that money doesn't buy happiness. Money is related to happiness when people do not have enough money to meet basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing and still have a little left over for non-essentials. But a new study by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman at Princeton University identified $75,000 (depending upon where you live) as the income above which the relationship between happiness and income basically disappears. More income does not translate
Another qualification to the money-doesn't-buy-happiness idea is that there are multiple ways of viewing happiness. Having a higher income is not related to the moment-by-moment positive feelings we associate with happiness; however, it does increase people's overall satisfaction with their lives or view of themselves as successful.
So, if about 50 percent of happiness is explained by our genes and 10 percent by our life circumstances, what accounts for the remaining 40 percent? Researchers are starting to view happiness as similar to weight loss. There is a genetic basis for the weight that each person's body will tend to maintain (again, a set point), which is often higher than we'd like. In order to lose weight, we must make lifestyle changes to diet and activity levels.
Holly H. Schiffrin is an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Mary Washington and PCI Certified Parent Coach who conducts research in the area of positive psychology and child development.

A little about me...
I'm,according to my sister ,very nice, intelligent and good looking.See? Hard data from an unimpeachable source.Only two women in almost 45 years have told me they could see the REAL ME,but they were mad, Almost every other girl I've dated wanted to marry me. Remember the Age of Aquarius fondly? Me too.An excellent mechanic and machinist but not a good navigator(not retarded,just not Admiral Byrd) so directions are okay by me.Would you come in the gas station and listen too? That'd be great. Terrible at cards,"You Lose" is my game,taught to me by a woman of great beauty and a stranger to mercy.Rode iron Harleys for many years and have lots of stories.Can't connect anymore with bike people.They seem more interested in the leather halloween costumes and handlebar streamers than the machinery.Got the dealership(not the Harley shop) on speed dial. Waiting for Harley to come out with pirate eye patches to go with the designer head rags,"I'll take two please". Like to laugh.Like to read, and will figure compound angles if it's the last thing I ever do.
About the one I'm looking for...
Funny,likes to read,true.
I'd just like to add...

Tree Frog?
It is likely based on a tree frog? Are you kidding me? It's obviously based on either a toad or just some sort of not-tree frog. It's a water frog pokemon, if it was based on a tree frog it'd probably be grass. Even it's japanese name doesn't have anything to do with tree frogs. How is it in any way based on a tree frog? evidence please? [[Derian]]
Choice of words in the name trivia.
Isn't "wordplay" more accurate than the current "misspelling"? "Misspelling" seems to imply that the spelling of Politoed is accidental. - unsigned comment from PLA (talk • contribs)

main index
When a character is in a situation that's just about to explode into a fight — probably in a physical sense, but a severe verbal confrontation would count too — but manages to deflate the aggression and tension through communication and to avert the unpleasantness. Communication is, of course, most obviously verbal, but these kind of situations are usually a good example of how important nonverbal aspects are as well, so the trope is not limited to talking. Ways in which this can be achieved include but are not limited to confusing the aggressive party with something completely unexpected, Non Sequitur or otherwise, which tends to deflate the aggression; or calmly persuading them to look at the situation from an objective point of view and make them realise starting the fight is not in their interests. The important thing is not to continue in the normal track that would lead to confrontation, but to turn its course around to a different direction. Note that though "Judo" in the name specifically implies a "soft" self-defence approach, being meek in face of aggression isn't automatically Verbal Judo — in some cases, showing fear may only provoke further. And techniques used for Verbal Judo as here defined can involve a certain degree of controlled aggressive assertiveness, as long as it comes from a surprising angle that leaves the other party off-balance rather than stoking their own aggression. This doesn't so much apply when someone is deliberately about to attack rather than becoming heedlessly aggressive. That is not what is meant by a "volatile" situation above. Of course, a completely strict line between the types of situations is impossible to draw. The trope name comes from the Real Life technique and book by George Thompson, which are basically about how to achieve this trope. Thompson contrasted it with "verbal karate", where you respond to hostility with hostility and only escalate the situation — this being the way people are more often naturally inclined to react. "Verbal Judo" or "verbal self-defence" is defined more broadly in real-life usage, but the trope is defined only as stated above. Compare Talking the Monster to Death. Has only a little in common with Politeness Judo. Contrast Break Them by Talking, a less nice technique, though it could theoretically overlap with this. (As in: stop someone's aggression by saying nasty things that make them break down.) Situations where this might be needed could involve Hair-Trigger Temper or Berserk Button; if it involves a Powder Keg Crowd or other mob, it's probably also an instance of Shaming the Mob. This makes a good technique for the Badass Pacifist.

Nov 11, 2013Inoffensive busy-work for the ankle-biters. Nothing more. Nothing less. [December 2013, p81]
Sep 23, 2013Turbo: Super Stunt Squad will have a limited shelf-life that can be perfectly mapped to the cinema release of the movie and possibly the follow-up DVD sales window. It will entertain fans of the movie over a wet weekend or two, but ultimately the sub-par graphics, limited gameplay, and clunky controls make this game about as flawed as Ryan Reynolds' acting.
Sep 24, 2013It's hard to expect great things from a movie-tie-in title, but Turbo Super Stunt Squad wasted an opportunity to be a harmless kid racer and instead became a unsatisfying skateboarding game that can be sometimes too challenging for its target audience of young children.
Oct 10, 2013A horrible attempt at squeezing out some extra license money while ruining several childhoods in the process.
Nov 8, 2013Even if the film did do surprisingly well at the box office, you'll easily spot the slug trails that accompany Turbo: Super Stunt Squad as it crawls its way into the bargain bin.

May 8, 2014This game surprised me. The Turbo film, which, in my opinion, is an 8/10, was about racing. The snails did race in the taco cafe, but that was racing, not stunting. This game, however, plays a lot like a Tony Hawk game. You drive around Dos Bros Tacos and a few other locations, collecting pickups in stunting spots. This game reminds me of that slightly above average PS2 game, Room Zoom: Race For Impact, because you race in tiny locations. This movie game also has you doing slides on ramps and standing on your head, and also doing 'nosies'. There are also a few cheat codes which can be found on the internet. I thought there would be a story mode, trying to win the Indy 500, like in the movie. There is no online features, including multiplayer, which i bet is a big problem for loads of gamers, but, i mostly hate online multiplayer, and this game isn't really built for it. There is offline multiplayer, however. Overall, Turbo: Super Stunt Squad is a fun game, 1 player or 2 player, but the fact that there is no story mode or racing (except in the DS version) brings it down to a 7/10. But, after the recent price drop, this is a good game to get for yourself, or more likely, your kids.… Expand
