Parole - To Be or Not to Be Free
There is no saying how the criminals will be once they are free. Once out of prison, they have a set of rules assigned to them by their parole officer. The slightest foul up can land them back to where they were in the first place, locked up. This would be the ultimate setback and the number of people that violate parole is staggering. All and all, parole is positive in the sense that it is given to deserving men and women. Certain people deserve second chances and if the chance comes they should be able to grasp it if it is meant to be. The parole board is always the deciding factor when it comes to granting the right person freedom. They know to look for the so called phonies that are trying to take stabs at getting let free. Those are the ones that will cause the problems on the outside all over again. This is why they usually get turned down. Because just like every other person in jail, their all innocent, remember?

The Marines final reflection

My Final Reflection
I strongly believe that I answered my question to the fullest of my abilities. My journey to became a better bodybuilder has really came along way from my humble beginning. It took a little time to really try and assess my question. I said to myself "Okay what exactly do I have to attack here?" There was all sorts of other questions I had to answer first before I could go and answer the big question. With a question like that came even more question filled questions I could say. If I want to be better then I have to pick all the things that go along with working out. Eat more, take more protein, change up the schedule, more sets less workouts, more workouts less sets, all this information coming at me at once. But I tried to my fullest to answer my big question my own way. Taking very small steps forward instead of getting ahead of myself and taking a step backward. This may seem dumb to someone who doesn't workout but I love when I wake up in the morning and it is hard for me to move that muscle that I trained the day before. The soreness means that you did something right. I strive for that feeling every time I workout and I got that even more after I started this project. The basic parts of the project were easily answered, simple questions I came up with myself. Most of the questions were stuff I really wanted to change for the better. My schedules for certain muscle groups, the workouts that I do for that part of my body, eating better and more protein filled foods, all the stuff that you need. I know it sounds a little repetitive but that's what this all is. One big repetition after the other. But if your dedicated it won't matter. You absolutely have to keep changing in order for all of your hard work to take affect. So in all my question was answered, at least I believe so. It took a long time but I did it.
I only think that if I could have had more time that I would have been able to answer the big question a little more in depth. For the most part it is answered though. All that stuff in the above paragraph can really help with my dream of becoming a better bodybuilder some day. One more thing that might be able to help even more than anything else is a substance called creatine. Don't worry it's all legal. What that does is it helps your muscles retain water and pump blood in to the muscle. By retaining water I mean it gives you a bigger look when you flex. You see? I still have all this information on the subject that I never got to put down earlier. But that's okay because at least I got to get it out somewhere on this. I'm really happy with my progress and improvement with working out. I attribute this project to my success and increase in strength in the gym to this project. It got me thinking even more about what I do to get bigger and better. I loved doing this and sharing information with everyone. Hopefully I can do it again sometime later. Maybe I could start training a few people and help them too.

Prison Gangs - The David's and the Goliaths
The main gangs in prison systems are usually the most well run. They have the biggest gathering and often are the most organized. Gangs control certain things whether it be money, trading of certain materials, control over cafeterias, control over certain cell blocks, etc. The original gangs that do this the best and are the most feared are the Aryan Brotherhood (founded in 1967 in San Quentin), the Black Guerilla Family (formed in 1966 by former Black Panther George Jackson), the La Nuestra Familia (formed in the mid 60's in Soledad prisons), the Mexican Mafia (originally a street gang that started in the 50's), the Texas Syndicate (started in early 70's), and the Neta Association (1979). While all of these gangs have disputes with each other in some way or another, they do have a mutual respect that involves not interfering with certain things. For example the Aryan Brotherhood and Black Guerilla Family are main rivals but there are cases in which the Aryans will give moral support to black groups in an effort to influence prison disturbances. This shows that they have an understanding on a certain basis and that if needed they could and would work together. In "Oz" this was evidenced many times. I guess this ultimately shows that these men in gangs are binded by one thing, being criminals. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just like street gangs, the ones in prison are responsible for most of the violence and organized crime that occurs. They run things their way and do not care what happens, as long as they gain respect and become more feared through reputation. Back in 1995 a state-wide assessment of Florida showed that approximately 304 gangs with more than 10,000 members were active in the state alone. This statistic is jawdropping because alothough Florida is one of the bigger states in the country, it does not speak for all of the other 49 states that have a high number of criminals/gang members. The other part of this equation that is stunning is that this number has most likely doubled since the time of this assessment. While the main gangs already mentioned have the biggest gathering, the other not so big gangs can make a dent as well.

SKULLS AND CROSSBONES

I of course start at google. The best place to start a search for information. I stumble upon a very usefull website (http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/compare.html). The website presents a host of information not yet brought to my attention.The pattern of the human skull compared to the ape skull is on one that brings on many questions. For years these two skull patterns have been compared. "Although creationists are adamant that none of these are transitional and all are either apes or humans, they are not able to tell which are which". This further promotes my campaign of the evolutionary persuasion. Creationists cannot even justify the closeness between the two species of human and ape. There is a considerable gap between the ape and human species (missing link). There are skulls throughtout history that creationists cant place on either side. Ape or human. If creationists really had all the answers and there way was the right way then they would be able to figure out which side those skulls belong on. How can someone lay the evolutionary theory to rest without being able to fill the serious holes in thier own theory.
I dont think im the one who needs to be doing any kind of research when the scientits have thier theories. I pretty much know where im going and have my opinion down. I can pretty much justify my outlook on the subject. I still need a little more proof though. NOT research, proof.

This is the final stage, where the movie is released to cinemas or, occasionally, to DVD or VHS (though VHS tapes are less common now that more people own DVD players). The movie is duplicated as required for theatrical distribution. Press kits, posters, and other advertising materials are published and the movie is advertised.
The movie will usually be launched with a launch party, press releases, interviews with the press, showings of the film at a press preview, and/or at film festivals. It is also common to create a website to accompany the movie. The movie will play at selected cinemas and the Dvd is typically released a few months later. The distribution rights for the film and DVD are also usually sold for worldwide distribution. Any profits are divided between the distributor and the production company.
Now all i can do is sit and wait for my overnight stardom and my movie to get the most hits in Internet history... oh yea ill be famous tommarow morning.
