1.go for a quick run in the morning.
2.eat a good breakfast.. about 350 calories
3. for lunch, not a lot of carbs, but a good amount of protein (subway is good for this)
4. for dinner, eat a a good balance of protein and carbs. (chicken and rice) for example
5. a couple hours after dinner, do your workout, which is:

stretch for 10 minutes.
do crunches until you feel a burn, then do 20 more.(upper + middle abs)
then lay completely on your back legs out, and hold your legs in the air 6 inches off the groud, you can cheat by putting your hands under your butt, (lower abs) Hold it for 30 seconds, as you get better, try to not cheat.
Then lift your legs in the air all the way, and do 20 toe touches or more if you feel you can.
then put your legs flat again, and do crunches with legs flat (works lower mid, and upper abs)

Back:  lay on your stomach, go into a modified push up position, but have your elbows on the ground instead, and keep your hands down too.  You can hold your hands together if it's easier on your elbows.  Try to hold this for 30 seconds at a time.  If you cant do that, then lay completely flat on your stomach, and lift your upper body off the ground along with your legs, or alternate one or the other.

Do wall sits (put your back against the wall with your knees bent as if you were sitting in a chair.)  Try doing this for a minute, as you get better at it, add time.

also you can do other workouts with lighter weights, if you feel like you want to. but once your done, you should do some cardio to help the recovery process for the next day.
you could go running again, or swimming.
if you have a jump-rope, use it.  it will help you lose more weight than you think, and helps with the recovery process.

In High School, I lost 35 pounds doing this in a matter of 2-1/2 months.  I started off only able to do 50 jumps ropes at a time, but stick with it.  dont give up, you'll surprise yourself as to how many you can do just after a few days.

after that, have a sports drink.. like a gatorade.  that should be the last carlories you have for the night.

i've had eye twitches before.  wierd that it only happens while you drive tho.  how long have you had them?  it only lasted about a month or so for me, and it happened mostly in stressful situations.  and the more i thought about it the more it happened.

tell me what bearing it has on you or me when someone comes up with a black homer simpson that only 700 people or less saw.  That's not copyright infringement, that's just a youtube grudge that you have for that guy who made it.  Inconvenient truth?  i'd say it's more like intolerable libel.

i understand this is a forum and arguing can be like crack to some people, but you dont need to cherry pick things that i'm saying just so you can always be right.  You know enough to be skeptical, but you can also be willing to learn something.  I do actually read, i have come across in the dsm that it is likely that up to 75% of inmates in penetentiaries have the disorder.  you can also draw your own conclusions with some skepticism on that count, but the research is out there.

And nothing you are saying is actual proof of what you're telling me, that I'm wrong.  you're basically just saying NO WRONG, but as you must know, Personality disorders can only be diagnosed upon entering adulthood, ie; age 18.  That is because unlike Freud, modern psychologists believe that a personality has not solidified until after adolescence.  Diagnosing a 5 year old with aspd would get you your job taken away, even if they have had some failure in conforming to social norms with respect to lawful obligations.  Why?  because not all children that have conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder with grow up to have aspd.  ODD and conduct disorder being the likely precursors of Aspd.
I'm sorry, but with the whole nature vs. nurture thing, i know you're trying to say you can be born with it, but until you show me the gene that makes one deviate from social norms, you can't say you're born into it.  You see the thing about social norms is that they're learned.  That is one thing i will never attribute to being genetic.

That doesn't really make sense. Dehumanization is the result of severe trauma, not just a disconnect from society. Just LIVING IN RURAL AREA doesn't make people more likely to dehumanize/be dehumanized. Not just anything can trigger a complete disconnect from reality (ie a psychotic break) in anyone, it happens specifically to those who are mentally ill, and with the most common psychotic breaks resulting from schizophrenia (iirc) the symptoms should develop a few days/weeks prior to the break and it should be able to be prevented.

The REAL ones you have to worry about are people afflicted with anti-social personality disorder, which is just the fancy word for psychopath or sociopath (although these people are usually older). They can seem like perfectly normal, and even appealing people, but one day they could just burst in shooting, and no one would expect it.

No you would have had to read more carefully, so maybe that's my fault.  Let me make this clearer.  Those in a rural area are more apt to commit suicide.  Just take a look at suicide rates across the United States.  

Let me make the connection between psychological isolation and dehumanization.  Rarely, people choose to be isolated without some social mores influencing them in some way.  To be outcasted is going to create an isolation, because those who do not follow the social norms are thrown into "prison" by the "norm police"  It's also going to create an uncomfortable feeling in the isolated individual, a feeling that they're less than human (or at least the people who do not accept the individual into their culture, subculture or whatever).  That individual's feeling can foster into a personality disorder such as anti-social personality disorder, if you like the DSM-IV, you'll know that roughly 75% of all inmates have been diagnosed with this.  Basically, they're not in prison because they have a mental disorder, they have been labelled with ASPD because they're in prison, a characteristic of the disorder is that they've been in trouble with the law.  Also it is important to remember that it can happen to anyone.  You're not born with a personality disorder, and it's not exclusive to certain individuals, could be males, females, white, black, poor, rich.  

There are a lot of things that can cause someone to break.  One of those things is when people hold onto their resentment.  That's what causes drug addicts to use, and it certainly cause one to partake in other destructive behavior.  If school shootings were easy to predict, and prevent, there would never be one.  The fact is, they're not as predictable as we think they are.  Just because you can point out tell tale signs in postidiction, doesn't mean you can find them before the incident occurred.  

Think about it, the likelihood of this happening is slim, and you cant blame someone for a shooting before they do it.  You can only TRY to get them help, but many times they're feelings are under the radar, and there's not much you can do to stop something like this from happening.

usually this happens when the student feels at least mentally isolated, sometimes physically, but really the ones to worry about are those who are less connected with whats going on around them.  This is a theory to explain why there are more suicides in rural areas than not.  If someone is able to dehumanize the people in a society, it becomes a lot easier to kill them because in their eyes, they're something less of a human.  It's always hard to predict this type of crap happening, because anything can trigger this mentality.  I believe the best thing to do is provide some sort of psychological support group for students, not handguns.

handguns?  they should allow them to have assault rifles, if hundreds of people had them, we'd all feel really safe.

And you didn't call the cops?  Shit, at least tell the news stations... someone tried to burn down your apartment with hot dogs.

if you saw that in the newspaper, would you not read it?

He's probably the funniest dude alive.  
I think he joined the scientologists for fun, because they're absolutly hilarious.

Listen from 4:25 or so on that video when he's talking about the SP's

I think Tom cruise just thinks the scientologists are funny.  What if you see an SP.  He's saying that would be funny as hell because they think they're gonna get put in history books.
it actually sounds like a good group to join.

Well I was thinking about this before in Philo class, hearing is probably a less evolved sense or something or at least it's more designed for instinctive reactions. Like if you hear someone yelling or a gunshot or something you'd probably react right away but some visual stuff might produce a slower reaction. Like not realizing two people are fighting for real at first even though you're seeing it, I guess.

Hearing is a more evolved sense.  Language is actually dependent on the evolution of hearing.  Otherwise we'd be speaking in less complex sounds like ugh and oo.  No seriously people can hold info in the echoic sensory register from 1-5 seconds.  A gunshot or some loud noise is going to effect both humans and chimps.

It's a matter of iconic memory ability.  That is, how quickly we can process visual information.  For humans it's about 1 second to fully process info.

There also need to be motivation for good performance.  It's likely that the chimps were reinforced  on a typical VI schedule on something like that.  Same tests to get pigeons to peck at a screen.

Thing is, people, chimps, pigeons all have the same capacity for processing visual information.  it's just a matter of motivation.  Deprive the people of food, and make the reward a cheeseburger, see who wins.
