The storyline is already over by then in B/W, while in B2/W2, you go through as part of the actual storyline. You actually have to go from Nimbasa to Undella and eventually off along the other new area in the game; correct me if I'm wrong, but Nacrene, Accumula, Striaton, and Numeva Town are off-limits until the E4 are beaten, am I right? Almost makes sense; there wasn't much in those areas before (other than two Gyms and a very out-of-the-way Challenge Rock that I used for financial gain while in the area), and there's even less to do there now if I understand, other than detouring through the Dreamyard.
I will reserve opinion as I have yet to see three of these areas. I don't really count the Pokémon League as a city.

Cyber Operations: The New Balance
June 24, 2009
A new normalcy is ascendant in cyberspace. What does this mean, and what are the implications for the Department of Defense (DOD) cyber policy' Some characterize cyber new normalcy as hybrid, multimodal Internet conflict, which combines state-level lethality with amorphous cyber formations.
Others view cyber new normalcy as a breathtakingly broad and globally inclusive campaign of deliberate cyber penetrations against governments, militaries, and commercial concerns. In a January 2009 Foreign Affairs article, Defense Secretary Robert Gates described today's new normalcy as the search for balance in defense capabilities. A few examples might serve to better illuminate the cyber new normalcy concept.
During the August 2008 conflict between Russia and Georgia, cyber attackers used tools from a Web site hosted by a company in Texas to attack a Georgian government Web site that had been relocated- coincidentally-to a Web hosting company in Atlanta, Georgia. In essence, the United
States experienced collateral damage during these cyber attacks. Borderless cyber operations confounding border-based paradigms are not a deviation; it is cyber new normalcy.
During the December 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, the attack teams used cable television, BlackBerry phones, Google Earth imagery, and global positioning system information to form an integrated, low-cost command and control capability that enabled a modicum of information superiority. As Ralph Peters points out, incidents such as Mumbai demonstrate that nonstate actors "do not fear network-centric warfare because they have already mastered it." Mumbai is not an outlier; it is cyber new normalcy.
Finally, in a subtle yet telling sign of cyber new normalcy, hackers in 2008 attacked the Barack Obama and John McCain campaign Web sites, compromised Mr. Obama's personal Twitter account, hacked Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's email, and falsified a Web account attributed to Vint Cerf, one of the Internet's founding fathers. It leaves us wondering: if hackers have no contrition about sullying national leaders or insulting Internet luminaries, what is next'
And thus, we find the essence of cyber new normalcy: what is next in cyberspace' And are we prepared'
The Modern American Experience
New normalcy has become an episodic policy construct in U.S. strategic ideation. National leadership has relied on the new normalcy clarion call to illuminate moments in time when it is understood that the Nation faces not only a severe threat, but also a transcending reorientation.
Often invoked in times of national crisis, new normalcy in the American experience signals a cardinal shift in the nature of U.S. security. For example, in the winter of 1937, the effects of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal policies took an unexpectedly negative turn-the "recession within a depression"- with employment falling again to near Depression-era levels. In response, New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia despondently observed that "instead of considering the situation as an emergency, we accept the inevitable, that we are now in a new normal."
Roosevelt's new normalcy became the reality of Federally guaranteed economic security as the new basis for overall national security. In 1953, President Dwight Eisenhower viewed the atomic realities of Soviet nuclear weapons as a new and untenable threat. Reflective of this thinking, a White House aide wrote a secret memorandum highlighting the nuclear age of peril as "the new and to all intents permanent normalcy." President Eisenhower believed containment to be inadequate against a nuclear-armed Soviet power; therefore, his new normalcy became the "New Look" defense policy that emphasized mutually assured destruction through massive
retaliation using air-atomic power.
On October 25, 2001, echoing a deep national sense of insecurity after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Vice President Richard Cheney lamented, "Many of the steps we have now been forced to take will become permanent in American life. They represent an understanding of the world as it is, and dangers we must guard against perhaps for decades to come. I think of it as the new normalcy." The Bush-Cheney new normalcy thus became the "New War," instantiated in a fundamental shift to preclusion, or preemptive self-defense, under a permanent state of national emergency.
New normalcy defines a quintessential dichotomy: the urge to return to the comfort and routine of a normal state, confronted by the realization that the prior condition no longer exists. For example, many in the U.S. foreign policy community viewed the collapse of the Soviet Union as an opportunity for a return to normalcy in American foreign policy, allowing the United States to cash in the peace dividend. Yet even as the Belavezha Accords were being signed, effectively dismantling the Soviet Union, the tectonic undertones of terrorism and global fragmentation were already well in place.
The notion of an American post-Cold War return to a neo-isolationist normalcy was but a fading ideal, when in fact that prior normal condition had long since vanished under the "New World Order" of Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush. New normalcy can also be seen as a reaction to what author Nassim Nicholas Taleb describes as "black swan" events-those highly improbable occurrences beyond the realm of normal expectations. What was previously accepted as impossible-even preposterous- is suddenly reality, leaving the Nation grasping for comprehension under forced acceptance. In this context, new normalcy becomes an extempore self-interrogatory, compelling the citizenry to unwillingly decipher and assimilate the residue of a perceived calamitous breakdown in the normal way of life. New normalcy thus serves as the tenuous bridge to the reality of an unknown, fundamentally altered future. Perhaps Eisenhower best captured this nuance as "groping to know the full sense and meaning of these times in which we live."
U.S. joint military doctrine includes new normalcy as a central concept. From this perspective, new normalcy is the condition achieved whereby an adversary is rendered unable to oppose U.S. strategic objectives. After achieving the operational endstate, new normalcy becomes a strategic goal in transition from conflict, which disrupts normal life, to a new level of stability. To achieve new normalcy, the U.S. military, supported by interagency and multinational partners, transitions from major combat operations to stabilization, security, transition, and reconstruction. In addition, adaptive force packages counter any insurgency resistance as the new normalcy begins to take shape.
Although primarily understood from a policy development point of view, there is also a socioscientific basis for comprehension of new normalcy. Thomas Kuhn posits that when the current normal condition cannot explain or resolve an anomaly, a crisis ensues, leading to a fundamental paradigm shift, concluding in a new state of normalcy. In Kuhn's normative transformation theory, a professional community "alter[s] its conception of entities with which it has long been familiar, and . . . shift[s] the network of theory through which it deals with the world."
Cyber New Normalcy
At a 2005 hearing, Senator Olympia Snowe alluded to waking up one morning to "yet another new normalcy, just as we did on September 12, 2001." These words symbolically parallel growing national sentiment regarding the fear of a major cyber disaster-thus, the dramatic rise in predictions of a "cyber Pearl Harbor" or an "e-9/11" event. Vint Cerf even likens the rampant spread of malware to a "pandemic . . . that could undermine the future of the Internet."
In the end, Cerf reflects circumspectly, "It seems every machine has to defend itself. The Internet was designed that way. It's every man for himself."
Some in the national security community question whether current U.S. cyber strategy can meet the challenges of modern cyber threats. For instance, a December 2008 Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) report on cybersecurity concludes that protecting cyberspace is "a battle we are losing." In testimony before Congress, Jim Lewis, a member of the panel that wrote the CSIS report, stated that "the U.S. is disorganized and lacks a coherent national [cybersecurity] strategy." Similarly, a 2008 Defense Science Board report concludes that "there is scant real progress to better secure our information infrastructure." The former Director of National Intelligence believed the country is "not prepared to deal with current cybersecurity threats." A former special assistant to the President for critical infrastructure protection warns: "Are we ready for a largescale cyber disruption or attack' I believe the answer is clearly no."
The daily tidal wave of ever more shocking revelations threatens to overwhelm, as if we are witnessing a recession in cybersecurity capabilities. Cyber attacks have resulted in government-wide computer infections and loss of information. The Department of State admits to losing terabytes of information. Likewise, DOD has lost a volume of information equivalent to twice the number of printed pages in the Library of Congress. Hackers so pervasively penetrated the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security that the agency completely disconnected itself from the Internet.
The White House itself has had to deal with unidentified intrusions into its network, and malware has even infected laptops aboard the International Space Station. Due to the overwhelming nature of these cyber threats, a 2008 Senate report indicated the cost to defend government networks could rise to as much as $17 billion.
The unprecedented growth in cyber threats has led policymakers and analysts alike to assert with increasing frequency that the United States is experiencing a new normalcy in cyberspace. As early as 2003, the Gilmore Commission's report on Forging America's New Normalcy predicted the onset of cyber new normalcy conditions, including cyberterrorism. In commenting on the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, the state of Michigan's chief information security officer recently noted: "I don't think this is just hype-this is the new normal." Perhaps the clearest, most unambiguous recognition of cyber new normalcy is the CSIS 2008 report on cybersecurity, which invokes the spirit of Roosevelt's national emergency, Eisenhower's nuclear threat, and Bush's war on terror: "The U.S. must treat cybersecurity as one of the most important national security challenges it faces. . . . [T]his is a strategic issue on par with weapons of mass destruction and global jihad." The following trends provide compelling evidence of this new normalcy condition in cyberspace.
Commoditization. Under old normalcy, individuals developed malware. Under cyber new normalcy, anyone can obtain malware at the "cyber drive-through window." The Internet is a profit-generating machine for criminal syndicates that have perfected malware-asa- service. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe estimates that the cyber underground now rakes in a staggering $100 billion per year.25 Reflective of this trend, during the Georgian-Russian conflict, hackers posted downloadable malware on public Web sites with instructions on how to join in the cyber attack against Georgia.
An Internet journalist investigating the issue concluded: "All I needed to do was to save a copy of a certain web page to my hard drive and . . . voilAfA : my browser was now sending thousands of queries to the most important Georgian sites, helping to overload them. . . . [I]n less than an hour, I had become an Internet soldier."
Identification. Under old normalcy, when bombs and bullets flew, identification of the adversary was relatively easy. In cyber new normalcy, identification is the exception. In Here Comes Everybody, author Clay Shirky attributes "ridiculously easy group formation" as the Internet's defining characteristic. The Estonian and Georgian cyber events serve as the quintessential examples of this state versus ad hoc cyber assemblage phenomenon.
Although some initially declared the events as cyberwar, most in the international community now characterize these incidents as cyber crime via a proxy apparatchik of instantaneous cyber militia-mobs. At best, according to Estonian officials, it is terrorism.
Distrust. Under old normalcy, we trusted but verified. Under cyber new normalcy, there is no trust, and verification is highly suspect. Malware can spoof and effectively nullify antivirus and firewall systems.
Even worse, a team of Dutch and Swiss researchers have broken the MD5 encryption algorithm used by nearly all Internet Web browsers. With MD5 compromised, it is now possible that Web browsers could erroneously verify forged digital signatures or software certificates, compromising previously trusted Internet transactions with little indication of foul play.
Symmetry. Under old normalcy, cyber was seen as an asymmetric capability. Under cyber new normalcy, cyber attacks are no longer asymmetric; they are expected. As Verisign analyst Eli Jellenc points out: "We are witnessing . . . the birth of true, operational cyber warfare." Similarly, Representative Jim Langevin of the House Homeland Security Committee asserts, "Never again will we see major warfare without a strong cyber component."
Cyber today is ubiquitously manyto- many: weak attack weak, strong attack weak, and weak attack strong. Asymmetric warfare is generally considered the domain of the weaker party in applying unconventional methods to exploit vulnerabilities of the strong. Given this, it is questionable if the asymmetry precept still applies to cyber. Russian-inspired hackers have in succession attacked Estonia, Lithuania, and Georgia.
These are the attacks of the cyber strong against the cyber weak. Iranian Shi'a and Arab Sunni hackers carry out "Koranic retaliation" cyber attacks against each other. Indian and Pakistani patriotic hackers engage in sustained cyber skirmishes. When the Lebanese government tried to prevent Hizballah from operating its own fiber optic network, Hizballah declared the affront as tantamount to war and responded by taking over West Beirut.
Cyber operations are now the very definition of modern conventional tactics. Deterrence. Under old normalcy, "deterrence by denial" defined the core U.S. cyber policy. Cyber new normalcy admits that deterrence has failed to substantively alter the motivational calculus of determined cyber attackers. As Jim Gosler points out in "Digital Dimensions," cyber defenses are mismatched against the offensive efforts of cyber adversaries. Over a decade ago, Richard Harknett argued that deterrence models developed during the Cold War will provide "poor guidance" for strategic thinking about cyber deterrence. The well-regarded Cyber Conflict Studies Association indicates that to date there is no compelling evidence refuting Harknett's position. This situation will likely continue unabated until the penalties for cyber attacks begin to outweigh the gains.
The New Balance
In facing the new normalcy of today's complex defense environment, Secretary Gates offers an insightful way ahead. In January 2009, he established "balance" as the defining principle of the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy. In effect, the Secretary's vision can be seen as the call for a New Balance in DOD capabilities, and it establishes a practical framework for addressing cyber new normalcy. In line with joint doctrine, cyber New Balance could be defined as the quest to attain a new level of stability in the DOD cyber environment in order to better support U.S. strategic objectives.
Secretary Gates' call for a New Balance is strikingly reminiscent of the new normalcy experiences of the Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Bush administrations. For example, in his first inaugural address, Roosevelt called for a frank and honest discussion regarding the Nation's economic ills. Secretary Gates' New Balance similarly calls for a blunt assessment of the current U.S. defense posture. In line with this thinking, cyber new normalcy warrants a frank, realistic assessment of the New Balance needed in DOD cyber capabilities. A fundamental premise of cyber new normalcy is that a New Balance is required in culture, conduct, and capabilities in order to better operate and defend in and through cyberspace. A judicious cyber New Balance policy would reassess DOD-wide priorities in areas such as offense balanced with defense, personal use balanced with official use of military networks, compliance balanced with accountability in network usage, and permitting versus restricting unfettered Internet access from the global information grid. As Kuhn warned, these changes may be difficult to accept for those entrenched within the current paradigm. It may unfortunately take a Billy Mitchell moment-a "cyber Ostfriesland"-to truly convince skeptics of the reality of cyber new normalcy.
Secretary Gates' call for a renewed focus on U.S. deterrence policy evokes President Eisenhower's New Look emphasis on strategic deterrence. An enlightened cyber strategy would seek an appropriate balance between secrecy and openness. While working at RAND in the early 1960s, Paul Baran conceived the digital packet switching concept used to establish a survivable U.S. nuclear command and control system. Significantly, Baran openly published his work, with the U.S. Government's implied consent, under the premise that "deterrence only works if the
other guy knows."
Harknett similarly argues that deterrence is contingent on the challenger and the deterrer possessing shared knowledge about each other. A perceptive cyber New Balance protocol would openly communicate certain capabilities and intentions in order to strengthen cyber deterrence. Credible deterrence will also require balanced resourcing for identification and authentication; data hardening and network resiliency; cyber intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and cyber early warning and response. Mindful of the Bush New War, Secretary Gates' New Balance seeks solutions to hybrid conflict. Cyber new normalcy reflects Ralph Peters' notion of a "counter revolution in military affairs."
In essence, an evolving "counter- revolution in cyber affairs" defines cyber new normalcy. An adroit New Balance cyber policy would encourage an honest assessment of the military means for engaging in cyber conflict and determine the relevancy to cyber new normalcy conditions. As witnessed in the cyber attacks on Estonia, Lithuania, and Georgia, non-mirror-imaging adversaries have a well-honed grasp of operating within the grey area of cyber, below the threshold of use of force. Deterritorialized attackers target territorialized infrastructure, frustrating border-based orthodoxy. These hybrid cyber militia-mobs clearly demonstrate that adversaries will not fight the U.S. military on its own terms in cyberspace. In fact, military-onmilitary in cyberspace may become the exception, rather than the norm, with relatively few "lawful combatants" in the traditional sense.
An astute strategy would seek to refine the understanding of how "military affairs" fits within a cyber world where predominantly industry and noncombatant civilians establish and control the core operational theater of conflict. The counterrevolution in cyber affairs will necessitate development of alternative tactics against this global amalgam of state, state-sponsored, and nonstate actors.
In addition to the above, a wise cyber New Balance would prudently avoid the "10-foot-tall Ivan" syndrome that some analysts argue symbolically represented overstated Soviet Cold War capabilities. A thoughtful approach would seek a conscientious balance between cybersecurity and openness, and inclusively engage the public. The Gilmore Commission succinctly captured the essence of this tension by suggesting that any new normalcy policy should include "heightened security but not with such an obsessiveness that it would destroy the economic base or the civil freedoms of the country."
Finally, a sensible New Balance policy would rationally approach the issue of cyberwar. Cyber weapons may offer the advantage of low cost in terms of human life and physical damage. In fact, a growing line of thought suggests that the potentially nonlethal and discriminative nature of cyber weapons should motivate international law to accommodate and even encourage the judicious application of cyber operations. However, while some have asserted that the United States is at war in cyberspace today, there must also be follow-through in articulating the strategy and conditions for a discernible end. Implying an undefined and unending cyberwar could lead to the misperception that the United States seeks militarization of the Internet. In addition, international law remains immature for determining when a cyber event crosses the threshold triggering use of force. Cyber New Balance would seek to avoid unproductive discourse of endless, boundless cyberwar while constructing a methodology for discriminating between cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and the conduct of legitimate military cyber operations.
Lessons from the Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Bush new normalcy cases provide compelling evidence to suggest that enlightenment, rather than retrenchment, is the path for cyber New Balance. The economic calamity of the Great Depression directly confronted Roosevelt, as the Soviet nuclear arsenal did Eisenhower and terrorism did Bush. The threats were known and real.
Similarly, cyber threats are real and have evolved. In the face of fractious cyber challenges, an insightful reevaluation of DOD cyber policy is advisable.
With Secretary Gates' New Balance as the fundamental underpinning, DOD has a compelling opportunity to rebalance cyber priorities in line with the realities of cyber new normalcy. A comprehensive cyber New Balance effort recognizes that action must be taken across the entirety of the defense community, including defense industrial base partners. Progress necessitates identification and resolution of entrenched technical and cultural impediments that hamper progress.
A New Balance strategy can attain true cyber new normalcy through change in culture and conduct, improved technical capabilities, and altered policy constructs that deliver meaningful deterrence. Failing these, DOD cyber capabilities will undoubtedly remain ossified under old normalcy.

From the internationally acclaimed author of "An Unquiet Mind, " an exquisite, haunting meditation on mortality, grief, and loss.
Perhaps no one but Kay Redfield Jamison--who combines the acute perceptions of a psychologist with a writerly elegance and passion--could bring such a delicate touch to the subject of losing a spouse to cancer. In direct, straightforward, and at times strikingly lyrical prose, Jamison looks back at her relationship with her husband, Richard Wyatt, a renowned scientist who battled debilitating dyslexia to become one of the foremost experts on schizophrenia. And with her characteristic honesty, candor, wit, and simplicity, she describes his death, her own long, difficult struggle with grief, and her efforts to distinguish grief from depression.
But she also recalls the great joy that Richard brought her during the nearly twenty years they had together. Wryly humorous anecdotes mingle with bittersweet memories of a relationship that was passionate and loving--if troubled on occasion by her manic-depressive (bipolar) illness--as Jamison reveals the ways in which her husband encouraged her to write openly about her mental illness and, through his courage and grace taught her to live fully.
A penetrating psychological study of grief viewed from deep inside the experience itself, "Nothing Was the Same" is also a deeply moving memoir by a superb writer.
"From the Hardcover edition."

Conditions aren't pretty at Stevens Pass
Heavy snowfall in the Cascades is making things miserable for drivers at Stevens Pass. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, there is compact snow and ice on the road, and travelers can expect gusty winds and patches of poor visibility. Chains are required on all vehicles without all-wheel drive. Meteorologist Ted Buehner in Seattle told the Associated Press that accumulations from the storm that started Sunday are likely to total 2 to 3 feet in the Washington Cascades by Tuesday morning. You can keep an eye on conditions at Stevens Pass here.
Herald photographer Mark Mulligan recorded this video of conditions at the pass earlier today:

A tyrant
The president of the United States, Barak Obama, is a tyrant. There, I said it. Before you go on about what a hysterical overstatement that is, or that I am some kind of overzealous, right wing bigot, let's look at some recent moves by the White House.
Last week, a new version of health care reform legislation was unveiled in the U.S. House. I was pleased to see major changes in the bill that move us in the right direction. Though I was unsatisfied with the original bill, I've been working hard for reforms that I can support, because doing nothing would mean that premiums would double over the next decade for the middle class and small business owners. I argued that we could reduce skyrocketing premiums, bring the uninsured into the system, and reduce the federal deficit through an emphasis on prevention and increasing competition.
During the Presidential election campaign then Senator Obama called for transparency in the legislative process, even promising that health care reform negotiations would be "televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies."
The holiday season is upon us, starting with last month's Halloween candy-consuming event to the traditional New Year's feast. If you find yourself indulging in tasty, rich holiday fare, don't dispair! Steps to Healthy Holidays will guide you in maintaining healthy habits. During the coming weeks, this eight-article series will be discussing in more detail the following topics in an effort to keep you physically and emotionally healthy.
When this column didn't appear a few weeks ago many people were mystified and some actually made inquiries. Wow….It appears I might have a few fans in my hometown.
I voted yesterday, as I hope you did.
Actually, I wrote the above statement considering the fact that our paper comes out the day after election day. In reality, with deadlines in mind, I'm writing this before I've actually had a chance to go to my polling place and cast my ballot for Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli. I'm assuming that I don't get run over by a big truck, shot by an irate "Democrat," fall off a ladder or croak from natural causes before I get there.

This is my first year at Simpson College and I love it! Such a cool small campus with tons of personality! A little about my background… I have worked both in the criminal justice field and in academia for the past 11 years. My first job, post-grad, was with the Division of Criminal Investigation in South Dakota where I worked for a year and a half before moving to California in 2004. While in California, I worked as both an adult and juvenile probation officer for three and a half years. In 2008, I moved to Pennsylvania where I taught at various schools as an adjunct professor, and as an assistance professor for two years at DeSales University. In 2013, my family and I moved to the Des Moines area to be closer to our family, as I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I worked for a short period of time as a Federal Probation Officer before being offered a position with Simpson! I have been here since the summer of 2014 and am so excited to carry on! My research interests presently lie within sentencing practices and the effect of outside variables such as the pre-sentence investigation report, but I hope to work in future projects on sex offending and opportunities.

Director: Currently this area of ministry is on hold. If you are interested in overseeing this area – fill out the initial contact form below.
Vision: Create a welcoming and relaxed environment in which people new to Calvary Chapel Central or those who would like to learn more about Calvary Chapel doctrine, can come together for food and fellowship, and meet our church pastors/leadership, and ask questions and receive general church information.
"Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift (s)he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:9-10
Update: We implemented "Meet the Pastors" Dinners back in March 2006. The dinners were originally set up for new people in our congregation as they began to attend and were in the process of deciding whether to make Calvary Chapel Central their church home. The Lord has used these simple dinners and fellowship times to lead many to not only make a decision to make Central their church home, but also for many to make the decision to become involved in various ministries at the church and begin serving others.
We have recently restructured the "Meet the Pastors" Dinners to a "Meet & Greet" fellowship potluck. Although these Fellowship Potlucks are geared more for the new people/families in our congregation, anyone who has questions about Calvary Chapel Central, Calvary Chapel doctrine, is interested in learning how to become involved at Central, or would like to meet and get to know leadership and others within the church are encouraged to sign up for the next Fellowship Potluck and join us.

Media Research Center Intensifies Campaign Against Glee
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 2/17/2012 12:35 pm
The Media Research Center is once again attacking the show Glee for its portrayal of gay and bisexual characters. The MRC's Paul Wilson, writing for the organization's Culture and Media Institute, appears to consider any depiction of the show's characters that doesn't kowtow to the MRC's anti-gay sensibilities to somehow be an attack on Christianity and the Bible, accusing Glee of leading a "campaign against traditional sexual morality" and "mocking the Bible." He lamented that in the last episode of Glee the "gay lifestyle was pushed on viewers" and said the show is fully committed to "pushing homosexual propaganda on its viewers":
The TV musical "Glee" has a long history of pushing the envelope on sexual matters and promoting the homosexual lifestyle. The Valentine's Day episode of Glee, titled "Heart," marked a new low in Glee's campaign against traditional sexual morality, by mocking the Bible.
A lesbian student, Santana asked a group of Christians called the "God Squad" to sing for her girlfriend as part of a "singing telegram" performance. The idea didn't sit well with a new homeschooled student, who conveniently fit all the stereotypes liberals have of homeschoolers (the unsocialized, barefoot son of a Bible salesman who listens to talk radio but doesn't own a TV). His reluctance sparked a conversation among the so-called "God Squad" about the Bible's teachings on homosexuality.
The students of the "God Squad" claimed to respect his decision – and then mocked the Bible's relevance on homosexuality.
The episode was full of "Glee's" usual instances where the gay lifestyle was pushed on viewers, featuring lesbian kissing in the hallways and a student coming out that he was gay. Lesbian cheerleader Santana complained: "All I want to be able to do is kiss my girlfriend, but I guess no one can see that, because there's such an insane double standard at this school."
In a singularly ironic way, she's right. There is an insane double standard at that school – in favor of the homosexual lifestyle.
By mocking the Bible, "Glee" has gone further down the rabbit hole in pushing homosexual propaganda on its viewers.

Detailed Description:
This is an open-label study. Each subject's visit schedule will allow assessments after defined periods of exposure to UT-15C SR (3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months total exposure). The study will continue with yearly visits beyond 36 months until either UT-15C SR is approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities or the study is discontinued by the sponsor. Therefore, the actual date of each visit will be determined by the date on which the subject first received UT-15C SR (e.g., the date of study drug initiation in TDE-PH- 301, TDE-PH-302, or TDE-PH-308 for subjects who were randomized to active therapy in those trials,and the date of UT-15C SR initiation in this study for subjects who were randomized to placebo in the previous controlled trial). Note that the TDE-PH-202, TDE-PH-203, TDE-PH-205 studies are open-label design and therefore will follow the regimen for subjects receiving UT-15C SR.

Dan Savage vs. Ira Glass "DJ Battle"
Saturday, September 8th, 2012 (late)
The Showbox at the Market
Saturday, the Showbox at the Market played host to two very different shows: an all-ages matinee show with Canadian hardcore band Fucked Up and Providence noise duo Lightning Bolt (and California band Ceremony), and, as an after party for an event at Benaroya Hall, a "DJ Battle"/dance party between Dan Savage and Ira Glass. The early show was a little under-attended, despite the very punk rock price of $10, the late show was sold-out, and despite the fact that I'm sure NPR has done some pieces on " F----- Up," there was very little apparent overlap in their crowds.
Right out the gate at the early show, Lightning Bolt did something I'd never seen them do before: they set up ON STAGE. This might not sound out of the ordinary, but if you've ever seen Lightning Bolt, odds are good you've seen them play on the floor--or, that one time at the former No Space gallery on Summit, on the sidewalk, blocking the street. Stages just weren't part of their DIY amp-pile, home-sewn monster mask aesthetic. When that changed, I don't know, but what it lost in terms of scrappiness or immediacy--especially if you were lucky enough to be standing right on top of their drum kit--it just about made up for with the reason bands used stages in the first place: visibility. Now, you didn't have to be right next to Brian Chippendale's drum kit to be able to watch him freak out, frantically pounding, every muscle tense, for the better part of an hour straight. The sound was massive as usual for them, Brian Gibson's bass riffs providing a thunderous and shrill backdrop for Chippendale's mad percussion, but the set list was, for me, sadly lacking in what I consider their old classic cuts: killer riffs like "Dracula Mountain" or "13 Monsters." Still, an awesome show.
Nothing unusual about Fucked Up's show...
Like always, it was like a performance/enactment of an old, beloved hardcore ritual: the circle pit, the crowd-surfing, bearish frontman Damian Abraham pointing the mic to members of the crowd for key shout-alongs, then wading into the pit himself. To further ground the performance in hardcore history, Abraham enthusiastically lectured the crowd about Seattle's "greatest hardcore band ever," Brotherhood, as well as shouting out a handful of other important bands. Abraham also asked the crowd for late-night sushi recommendations, praised the West Coast of our country as the best place to tour ever, and promised us that healthcare is a good thing and we shouldn't be afraid of universalizing it. They ripped through a bunch of songs off David Comes to Life as well as older tunes like "Baiting the Public" and "Police." I've decided the kinds of mosh-pits that there are, ranked from worst to best, go like this: fist-swinging macho-posturing circle pit << one crowd-surfer for every person in the pit << sardines << pogo-ing. An obvious emo and pop-punk bias, but there you go--and that's not counting the ridiculous old hardcore practice of "kickboxing."
No crowd-surfing for Ira Glass and Dan Savage's dance party unless it happened after I left, but I wouldn't put it past their crowd. This American Life fans apparently had a lot of pent-up partying to get out of their systems--who knew?!--going equally nuts for Savage's disco-showtunes camp ("I'm an Indian Too," "Copacabana," Grease) as for Glass' populist pop (Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A."). I have never seen a crowd that size--or any size, really--dancing to Barry Manilow (note: I have never been on a cruise ship). Likewise, only at an Ira Glass DJ night do I think you'd see the crowd storming the stage to dance to...the new Cat Power single. Still, even if I found this all a bit scarier than Fucked Up's hardcore pit, you couldn't hate on such enthusiasm, and you have never NEVER seen a more exuberant nerd than Ira Glass DJing "Call Your Girlfriend" (off an iPad, I think?). Pretty cute.

Runcycles by Guts-N-EffortWatch
©2013-2016 Guts-N-Effort
a little practice i did. its actually one of the hardest things to animate. very basic but also complex. 7 drawings on 2's.
will also do another set for the 6 drawing sprinting cycles. different timing/leg positions. hope anyone find this useful when doing runs.
will also do another set for the 6 drawing sprinting cycles. different timing/leg positions. hope anyone find this useful when doing runs.
Dude, running is like the hardest thing to animate. Running and clothing flowing in the wind
one of the most underlooked skill in animation.
have you seen "letter to momo" film? it has some of the best running references.
have you seen "letter to momo" film? it has some of the best running references.
Yeah, the animation really stands out to me, especially the way the characters move. It was kind of off putting at first, almost like it was "Too realistic" but it really makes me think of spirited away when I see it.
The snapping of the arms give the run animation a nice texture, same with the follow through. I should really practice this more often. this basic run really helps me get into CG animation easier.
wow great runs..as an animator how would you practice dificult coreagraphy for somthing like martial arts if it your first time with those kind of staging and gestures
Practice posing with momentum in mind and animate simple stuff like punching kicking and jumping/landing. Then u combine these action for the cool factor .
wow this is really good! out of curiocity what software did you use for this?
I love this! Great perspective work and you can see how the figures transfer their weight from foot to foot, very smooth as well.
Gotta love Korra's frantic jog
very useful, cheers
Hardcore... love the perspective work
Hey, have you ever animated a walk or run cycle where the camera is circling around the person? If so I would be very interested in seeing it.
Nice work, these are awesome!
Nice work, these are awesome!
thanks, i know what you're talking about. most the time a scene like that, it is boarded so the feet are cut off the ground in animation. its a technical animation skill for tracking feet and steps in perspective, but not often used.
oh man runs are hard!
ufff that's very useful i love it!!
This reminds me of the time I tried my first animation
"I'm gonna draw somebody running while wearing a backpack!!!"
..How naive and foolish I was XD
This is fantastic! I love the Korra
"I'm gonna draw somebody running while wearing a backpack!!!"
..How naive and foolish I was XD
This is fantastic! I love the Korra
thanks yeah i must've tried it 20 times by now. someone is always running on a show. XD
The hardest part for me is keeping track of all the secondary animation. Good God my mind wants to explode with all that thinking...
the hardest part is thinking movements in 3d. weight and momentum.
This is all like magic to me, as I don't animate, but I love it regardless, particularly the perspective in the bottom left runner
thanks! gotta keeping my skills sharp
Yes this is helpful. Working on an actual run and walk cycle with my characters also. Will post when I am done.
These are awesome!
This is wonderful, I agree these things are really hard to animate but this is very smoooth and everything is proportionate, and it looks really beleivable as well. Nice work!
Very nice!
Run cycles were one of those things I couldn't really nail in college. :/
Run cycles were one of those things I couldn't really nail in college. :/
Very useful, thanks.
I love this, haha.
this is awesome
is that korra?
is that korra?
Thanks I wanted to ask for request but never mind ank it aweasome
Oh, this is SO helpful! 8D I'm just about to start on a huge animation project and this kind of reference on angled run cycles is just what I'll need!
these are amazing btw
You just have him running in place but I found the perspective run one of the most complicated and calculated ones to do. I remember a weird systematic graph that had multiple layers of markings. It's very hard to do a good run cycle w/ out reference. I usually refer to the good ol' Richard Williams book.
yeah, its both the understanding, and be able to draw with small margin for errors. i've tried it many times on many projects. up til now that i can do both. you just have to try it again and again.
just drawing someone running is hard enough, animating someone running -silent whimpering- but it has to be done!

BERLIN (AP) — A group of German professors has filed a complaint to the country's highest court against the European Union's plans to create a so-called banking union, a central part of the effort to make the continent's financial system more resilient.
The Federal Constitutional Court said Monday it had received the complaint. It wasn't clear when the court might rule; verdicts on previous attempts to block measures meant to stem Europe's debt crisis took at least several months.
The group behind the complaint says the banking union "has no legal basis in the European treaties."
It objects to handing the European Central Bank direct supervision of the eurozone's biggest lenders with binding powers over national authorities, and opposes plans for a separate authority with the power to dissolve or restructure failing banks.
