Parole - To Be or Not to Be Free

Parole is the one thing and sometimes the only thing that felons in jail look forward to during their sentences. There are instances where certain criminals that commit certain crimes do not even have the chance of parole. This is comforting in terms of safety because criminals such as those without oppurtunity of parole are put away for good. But in other cases the ones that do have the ability to win over the parole board can go free before their sentences say. Felons with this chance at freedom often display the best behavior before they have the meeting and hope to convince that they really have changed for the better. There are more times when the board turns down the felon than actually grant the man or woman freedom.

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

Are we in the middle east to protect our county form terrorist and to spread democracies beliefs and rights though out the middle east or are we there just for the oil and the government and oil companies can become more powerful and richer. I think we are they to get the oil form the oil filed because the president is sending more troop over to the middle east and building new training station for the troops. I think we are going be in the middle east for a while. The war and Nation debt will keep going up and also the price of gas will go higher and higher in till we leave the middle east because Iraqi was are partner in the oil business. The death toll of the American forces will keep going up if we stay longer in Iraqi. The gas price is around or little bit higher than $4 dollar through out the county and the death toll is near 4,000 people and that not included the Iraqi civilians and Iraqi worker who are help the U.S. Marines. Most of the deaths are caused by I.E.D which are cared by terrorist or driven into U.S. Humvee to destroy or kill U.S. forces. The government is not doing nothing about it putting more armor on the Humvee instead they are rise gas prices over 4 dollar which i think is crazy. They rather make more money to keep the richer class going than to keep a middle class marines alive and to keep this Country safe and i think that is a bad choices to make and what kind of government is that.

My Final Reflection

When I started this project I really thought it would be easy. I mean I already know how to workout. I remember when I came up with my essential question, what can I do to be a better bodybuilder, going into it I considered writing down a lot of what I already knew about you know? For the most part that is what I did. I used information that I had stored in my memory banks. From things that I learned a long time ago when I first started to really workout seriously. I have to tell the truth, I only used the citations once through out my whole time doing this project. To put it simply but with out trying to sound cocky or arrogant I really don't need to use the citations too much. I think it helped me the one time I used it but as for my other posts it just came from my own personal knowledge on the subject. Although I have to admit I did still learn a lot from my know experiences with interviews and some advice from my personal trainer friends. I understand that this whole project was about researching your topic and gathering information off the web but it didn't quite go that way for me and my project.

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

Gangs can often be one of the leading reasons why people go to prison. Members associated with gangs will do whatever it takes to be accepted and to gain respect. This usually deals with killing a person and also committing other crimes that are considered serious. You would think that once the offenders of these certain crimes go to jail that they will get the point and want to straighten up. But these men and women realize once they get in prison that the same gangs that were on the outside are even more in tune on the inside. The oath of blood in, blood out is very much alive in every gang ranging from the Aryan Brotherhood to Neta. That means once you are in there is no getting out unless you die or get killed.

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.

OK! Im done with the movie, but not quite, now i need to get my movie out to the public. This will be probley the toughest and hardest step Distrabution, but yet again my finacial state comes in to play i cant afford the Regal to put my movie on the big screen and the local film festival just past recently back in march. So now im faced with a problem i think my easilest solution would be post it on you tube and ill defently get attention from major movie producers such as FOX or UNIVERSAL. Real quick ill turnto wiki pedia for a little searching.......ok im back they said

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.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS

Ive researched the first side of the two sided street. Maybe not to the full extent just yet but i feel i have some what of an understanding for the time being. The topic is one that has been argued for hundreds maybe thousands of years. Is evolution how we got here? That was my next stop on my search for the truth.

My search takes me to a very interesting site called conservapedia. Which explains the complete theory of evolution. The process by which evolutionists believe nature works is titled natural selction("survival of the fittest"). Natural selection is the process some organisms are better suited for the envronment they are placed in and therfore have a reproductive advantage. This enhances their traits over time. I find that the bible is'nt the only thing that isnt bulletproof. I always thought fossils were a helpful tool when supporting the theory of evolution but apparently i was mistaken. They seemed useful in proofing the changes from creature to creature but the site tells me otherwise. Discovering that It is actually one of the biggest flaws in the whole theory. I learn that CBS had a study in which only thirteen percent of americans believe god had NO part in our creation.

This discovery suprises me a great deal. I thought there were more people like me than just thirteen percent. I also have to keep in mind though every citizen in the united states did not take the poll and only americans took part. Much researching lies ahead.

We are in Iraqi because George Bush and Dick Cheney are rich in the oil business. They only want more so that they can became more rich of the oil flied in Iraqi and put more money in their pockets and become more richer than before and before we want to Iraqi. They are going to keep the Marines and other forces there for a while and in till we can keep the country under order and the Iraqi can keep there people under control with their own government. I think George bush should pull the troops out of the middle east so the military services don't have to sand nobody home in a body bag anymore and or missing limbs. The government is increase the troop population and create new training centers over there so they can protect and make more money off the oil surplus in Iraqi.

DEATH in Prisons

Once on "the inside," men and women truly start to feel the effects of being convicts. Being contained 22 out of 24 hours a day takes a toll, along with the fear of having a cellmate that you don't trust one bit. When locked up, you have to become even more of a criminal than you were before you got there. Weapons and protection are must have things. Keeping your head on a swivel also helps too. Pile these things up and add a little edge and you should be good. But that is the thing, nothing is ever good in any prison for any person. Even the biggest and baddest inmates are always looking out for that one person who's looking to stir things up and take a little something
for their own. Deaths come in all types of varieties in prisons to different inmates. Such big names and way of death are, Jeffrey Dahmer who was beaten to death by another inmate, John Gotti who died of throat cancer, Lee Harvey Oswald, the man of killing JFK, was killed on the way to jail by Jack Ruby. These are the major deaths of the more well known convicts. This is not speaking for the total number of deaths in prisons.

For men and women who go through the same drill everyday in this system, they feel like walking dead. Although they never got shanked or beaten to a bloody pulp with a foreign object, being alive in a prison can be just as bad, especially for the more dangerous prisoners because of more containment. Prisoner behavior can escalate in the blink of an eye. Riots are always possible because the average prison population often out mans the officers in charge of keeping them in line. Probably the scariest part of inmates is that a lot of them have nothing going for them in their lives. They'll think of the most outrageous plan to overthrow a prison and gather anywhere from 100 to 500 other men with the same mindset and take over by any means necessary. Riots can be driven by racial tension, prisoner rights, want for something, etc. In probably the most notable prison riot ever, Attica (1971), both inmates and correctional officers lives were taken. This just goes to show that death can happen any type of way in prisons. Riots are one of the many ways people can die unnatural deaths, but either way all pointless deaths by troubled people in penitentiaries keep the average everyday human happy that such people are put away.

My Workout Schedule

I recently changed my schedule up a little bit. I still go to the gym five days a weeks, but I switched some of the body parts I do on certain days. For many months I did the same workout for a while. Like all things it was good for a few months and then nothing happened anymore. So I decided to talked to one of my friends again. This time I talked to my trainer friend Chad. He is a funny guy with a wide range of knowledge on working out and training hard. When I first started working out he helped me through a lot of things, so I knew I should talk to a professional. We rescheduled my days somewhat and altered my schedule. He put me on a six week program that I got for a personal training session with him.


I workout Monday through Friday. That can be tasking on the body if you don't know how to manage your workouts well enough. I'll take you through my workout routine, the routine that Chad put together for me. I've been doing it for a month and a half so I know it inside and out. Chest is Monday. This is your most important day, to start the week off. I do six workouts for chest day. Tuesday is back. Not my favorite day but it has to be done. Once again six workouts. Wednesday is a leg day. I do five workouts as apposed to the normal six. Thursday is arms, the biceps and triceps. These are smaller muscle groups so I only do four workouts. You don't want to overwork your muscles. This finally leads me to Fridays. Shoulders close out the week, six workouts. I never do more than six sets or less than three sets. About three or four sets a piece for each workout. Arms I do four sets for four workouts because you never do more than five workouts for your arms but you need to pump blood into the muscle. So that one extra set helps that blood flow tremendously. I love the schedule because it's easy to follow and that is something that many weightlifters need. Just something to go by and build off of.


I have never told in detail anyone my schedule before. Simply because I don't want people to try and critique my work. Believe me many people are like that, and iI can be paranoid a little bit about that stuff you know. Wondering who's talking behind your back. But I needed to let people know that we are not all meatheads, cavemen with dumbbells. We plan everything out to a fine line and execute it to almost perfection. This schedule is proof to everyone out there. Thanks to Chad for helping me out on my goals.

Now that i have my screen writing and script all set and done i will have no more confusion on where the timeline of my movie goes. So far i have covered the certin pro looking shots and screenplay, script writing now i will focus on the sequences of my shots in finaly i will record any off screen scrpit and finaly organize the movie which is commonly called production. In production the movie is created and shot,

The first job of the film editor is to build a rough cut taken from sequences (or scenes) based on individual "takes" (shots). The purpose of the rough cut is to select and order the best shots. The next step is to create a fine cut by getting all the shots to flow smoothly in a seamless story. Trimming, the process of shortening scenes by a few minutes, seconds, or even frames is done during this phase. After the fine cut has been screened and approved by the director and producer, the picture is "locked," meaning no further changes are made. Next, the editor creates a negative cut list (using edge code) or an edit descion list (using timecode) either manually or automatically. These edit lists identify the source and the picture frame of each shot in the fine cut.

1. In the film workflow, the cut list that describes the film-based answer print is used to cut the original colour negative (OCN) and create a colour timed copy called the colour master positive or interpositve print. For all subsequent steps this effectively becomes the master copy. The next step is to create a one light copy copy called the colour duplicate negative or interactive. It is from this that many copies of the final theatrical release print are made. Copying from the internegative is much simpler than copying from the interpositive directly because it is a one-light process; it also reduces wear-and-tear on the interpositive print.
2. In the video workflow, the edit decision list that describes the video-based answer print is used to edit the original colour tape (OCT) and create a high quality colour master tape. For all subsequent steps this effectively becomes the master copy. The next step uses a film recorder to read the colour master tape and copy each video frame directly to film to create the final theatrical release print.

Finaly when those basic steps our done the movie can be Distrabuted.

The Marines

Haditha used to be just another small town on the map of Iraq. Now Haditha is linked to a major criminal case involving U.S. Marines who have been charged with killing 24 Iraqi civilians in 2005. Captain Randy Stone say he did not fire any of the fatal shots at Haditha but he is being charged with failing to investigate the killings and why is man had killed the 24 civilians. The killing had happened in November 2005 and the case was open on May 8, 2007. The case is being look at and hold at Camp Pendleton in southern California with a hearing for Captain Randy Stone. He is the first one on the stand out of his squad to be changed with murder. This is clearly the biggest criminal proceeding that the military has had seen form the start of the war.

On November the 19th there was a four Humvee patrol was going into the town of Haditha and than a IED went off and killed popular lance corporal and injured two other soldiers. Within a couple of minutes five men were ordered out of the Humvee and shot down as they ran away. Then a Marine squad had stormed into three houses in the : Johnvillage and killed another 19 people. Three enlisted men have been charged with unpremeditated murder that is important because it won't be capital murder. One of them Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich is charged with 18 counts of murder. He was the squad leader and the first one into the three house they had storm into.

He was the battalion legal officer or the JAG as they call him in the military. He was charged with failing to report and investigate this incident. He may be the least important figure amongst the four officers that are charged with the same thing.

FINDING FAITH...

"As a Christian, I expect suffering, trouble and difficulties. This does not mean that God does not love me and want the best for me, he does"-arsindelve. My next instinct was to hit up different religious blog websites to see what those devoted to the cause had to say. The quote above is taken from a blogger self titled Arsindelve formely struggeling with the concept of a non-visually active Lord and savior. As i myself have often done. He/she used to wonder, if there is a god why hasnt this all knowning protector shown any sign of existance. No physical proof. No picture. Not even a glimpse. Now they are convinced that he/she exists. They didnt find any proof. They only created the hope in their mind and built a God off of there own hope and prayer.

As this search continues i still am having trouble being unbiest due to the fact that i am an athiest. I find it hard to give in to anything thats bein said to defend the hand of God. Everywhere i turn the same answer is bein givin with no hard fact. These people all have the same answer and its partially becuase their not willing to except the possibility that there might not be a magical palace with 75 virgins awaiting them with white fluffy clouds and angels surrounding a eutopia in which they eternely live and breathe. Its also partially becuase its what they've been told all their lives. They are stubborn and wont hear any different. I just dont see how a person can kick back and expect a God who lets hundred year wars get carried out in his name to care about there petty problems. Hopefully i will find some way in future posts to be more believing.

The Right Way And The Wrong Way

Even though I have been working out for a long time now there are still some things that I myself can improve on and be better at. For a while I was doing a lot of weight and getting some pretty good reps in. But after a while that started to stop and I felt nothing. I went and asked some of my friends about this and they all said to me " Let Me See Your Form". To put it simply, form is the way you execute all your exercises; how it's done basically. There are all sorts of mistakes that many novice weightlifters make. This lead me to the computer to see if any websites out there can help with correct form and execution.

This one website called 60in3.com was very informative. It had all sorts of advice and proper technique for many exercises that I myself use. Men will typically have bad form in terms of speed and stability. Because they tend to use weights that are too heavy, they have to use more than the targetted muscles to lift them. It means that person is lifting too much. His targeted muscles can’t handle it so he has to use his entire body to help. He’s not getting a very good workout. A lower weight exercise done with proper form is far better than an exercise done with more weight but poor form. If you need to lower the weight a bit to achieve proper form then do it. Proper form will help prevent injuries at the same time that it improves your workout. I really like this website, tons of great information.

You never want to go to exercise and have that feeling in the back of your mind saying boy I hope I'm doing this right. You want to always know that you have control of the weight not the other way around. Bad form and poor technique will kill any chances you have at building muscle. You'll just end up hurt and getting no where in it. Always have perfect form.
