Halo 4
Epicness!!!! :D (WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS INVOLVING GLASSLANDS)

Okay, so as I just read right now via Wikipedia, everyone got out of Onyx due to a Huragok population in the planet. Now, with Halsey being arrested, and I'm assuming all the remaining SPARTANS being pulled out of the Dyson Sphere ( this is what I am presuming, I still have yet to read the book, and the knowledge I have ascertained is from Wikipedia so I could be wrong), this brings up my probably recent question: Are we going to be seeing the SPARTANS assist the MC when the UNSC is found in Halo 4? I think yes because there are 3 more SPARTAN-II active candidates remaining besides Chief and I'm sure MC is going to need help in this game, but I wanna hear what you guys think of this.

I sort of hope so, I think seeing Halsey would be a great scene for both Cortana and Chief, as well as any other Spartans.
Spartan IVs, most likely.
Got a Halo story question?
The spartans were released form Dyson Sphere. Not only that, they also found a hanger LOADED with forerunner ships and other technology. The UNSC currently has a ship called the "Infinity" ( pic: http://www.halopedian.com/images/1/14/UNSC_Infinity.jpg) which has been upgraded with all the latest covenant and forerunner technology they found. And to make things even more intersting, there are active Spartan IV's on that ship. For the spartan VI program they used adult volenters instead of kids, like in the Orion Project (Spartan 1 program). The UNSC also gave the remaing Spartan II and III's the option to join the Spartan IV's if they wanted. Thats all they said about the Spartan IV's, maybe they will release more information about them in the next book. I think its safe to say, that the Spartan VI's will make an appearance along with the "Infinity" in Halo 4. but thats just my opinoin.
It was also stated in the book that, the Mjolnir "maintains and upgrades itself" using nanotech, when a spartan is in Cryo-chamber. I believe this would explain the change in masterchief's armor in halo 4.
I definetly have to read this novel. Shoot, you got SPARTAN-IV's, foreunner-covenant-human tech, and a whole assortment of stuff in this. But a few questions:
1: How in the hay did Engineers even get into the Micro-Dyson Sphere without being blown away by Sentinels, let alone even live in there, and how long have they been there?
2: Who is managing the SPARTAN-IV program?
3: Is Halsey probably going to be executed due to what she did during the course of the Human-Covenant war?
4: With the introduction of a surviving and fit SPARTAN-II candidate (Naomi-010), could this mean that there were plenty of other SPARTAN-II survivors as well?
Help bring back Republic Commando! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/914938-star-wars-republic-commando/57002133
1. The engineers were always there. These engineers have been there since before the firing of the halo. Either that or they are direct decendents of the originals created by the forerunners. They have had no contact with the covenant.
2. it never really said who was controling it. They didnt even really talk much about the program. All they bascically said was that, they are using adult volenteers( have to be in military), and that there were some on Infinity. They probably say more about them in the sequal.
3. Nope. the story did seem like it was going that way, cause Parangosky ( the head of Oni) was talking about having her executed , but in the end she was deemed to valuable. So since everybody thought she died on reach ( gave her a memorial and everything) Parangosky is just going to make Halsey her slave. Since she technically doesnt exist anymore.
4. They didnt mention anything about, any other surviving spartans. sorry

No it wouldn't. He's been in stasis since the end of Halo 3. How could he upgrade his armor when he hasn't even been awake?
There was only one ship... they called it The Pillar of Autumn...
I said the amour upgrades itself. Im just telling you wat the book said, and offering my own opinion. Its up to you, wat you do with that information.
It would still need upgraded to where it could upgrade itself. The Chief didnt go into cryo wearing Mark VII... at least not that we know.

"It looks like a tampon won't fit. Should it look like that, or does your vagina just stretch?"
peer AnswerLeah Sipher-Mann
mom AnswerRuth Anne Lemley
health expert AnswerMolly O'Shea
You know, I've definitely looked at my vagina and thought, "There is no way a tampon is going in there -- much less a baby come OUT!" But our vaginas are pretty amazing things, and they can stretch to accommodate tampons, penises, and babies! It might not be super comfortable the first time you try it, but your vagina will absolutely stretch to fit a tampon. To make it easier, try using the slimmest tampon you have the first few times you insert one.
I agree, when I saw tampons for the first time I thought the exact same thing. Yes, vaginas do stretch. It allows moms like me to have 9.8-pound babies. So, with that information, just take your time and start with the smallest one when you are ready to give it a try. Check out this video that walks you through it. <<LINK TO http://www.ubykotex.com/real_answers/education?topic=tampons>>
The vagina is an amazing thing! You wouldn't think a baby's head and body would fit through there either and for many women it does without even tearing a little. Soooo the good news is that even though it seems big, a tampon will fit, comfortably, in your vagina because your vagina can stretch a lot.

Great place for grabbing a quick bite to eat or a coffee. Too bad the land lord isn't renewing their lease.
My son and I have been here many times. It is a great place for lunch and the prices are so reasonable.
This is my favorite local coffee shop and go-to place to meet clients near my home.
The baristas are a bit slow, but usually remember my favorite order and even remind me to remember to order sugar free white chocolate flavoring when I forget to say sugar free. I quite like their coffee, though they don't roast their own beans...
This is a great little local coffee shop. I have only been there twice but I would go back if I was around it in the morning again sometime.
This is a perfect example of a small town locally owned cafe. Everything is made right there on sight and is delicious. Also it is just a couple blocks from the new walking bridge which crosses the Ohio river and takes you into Louisville KY. We love to stop here for a coffee and homemade muffin and then take a...
The food wasn't great (the BLT was greasy) but the real problem is the unpleasant staff. Been there before, won't go back.
A little coffee shop with a good selection of lunchtime fare. We had roast beef sandwiches and chips and a salad. Not too big or too small. Iced tea was good. Service fast and pleasant. Good prices.
A very nice place to sit and chat during a stroll around the village.
My wife and I stopped here for coffee, as Perkfection is not far from I65. We both had their coffee of the day, which was very good. The barista was unfriendly. Perkfection is situated in the quaint historic district of downtown Jeffersonville.
I love my trips to this coffee shop. The service is always great and I love that they didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing how to order my favorite drinks. lol. I don't drink coffee very often but their chai tea latte is delicious. When I really started watching what I consumed I found out they have a...
We meet with our friends and have plenty of nooks for good conversation. Coffee is always good and the choices of extras always interesting.

Anyone who reads one of the four Gospels is bound to ask the question - What happened next? With Jesus Christ crucified, resurrected and ascended into Heaven we are left with a few men who not so long before scattered to the wind at the first sign of trouble.

The book of Acts tells this story and this book will be a helpful introduction, giving you a good start in understanding the message it contains. Designed to accompany the more extensive Teaching Acts also by David Cook, this short book will not take long to read, but will be a great help to all those seeking to better understand the book of Acts.

Since then, their children – three of whom live out of state – have rallied around their mother, Michael says. "They take turns coming and staying. There's a constant stream, and they bring the whole family."
Their daughter, Jennifer Cowper, of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, competed in a grueling Ironman triathlon race in June 2012 to raise awareness and donations for the disease.
Cowper's Ironman medal hangs above Dorris' hospital bed in her Laguna Woods' home, a testament to their bond. "The Ironman was how my daughter dealt with her grief. We're very close."
Over the past two and a half years, Dorris has lost the use of her feet, legs and arms. Her spine is weakened to the point she can no longer sit up on her own. She lost the ability to walk without a device three years ago, and has progressed from walker to wheelchair to power chair.
In time, Dorris will lose the ability to speak and swallow. Eventually she will need an assistive device to help her breathe.
It would be easy for Dorris to dwell on the things she has lost to her disease. Instead, she chooses to focus on the things that bring her joy: music; prayer; the soft breath of her 4-year-old granddaughter telling "Gram" a bedtime story.
Although total paralysis is inevitable, sensory loss is not a part of ALS unless an additional disease complicates it.
"I can't do what I used to do, but my grandkids will come in here and lift my arms up so I can hug them, and that's beautiful," she says, tears filling her topaz-blue eyes.
Dorris has begun using an assistive device called a Tobii Eyemobile that uses eye gaze to enable her to access the Internet, send email, or read a book. She also can use the device to prerecord her own voice.
"This will help her stay connected to the outside world as she begins to lose her voice," her husband explains.
Both say they are grateful for the steady stream of visitors – former clients, girlfriends, church volunteers – who make their life more rewarding.
Family and friends, says Dorris, have become her priority. "Just celebrate every minute and every precious person in your life because we never know what's going to come."
On Saturday, the people who mean the most to Dorris will be celebrating her.

Advanced fleet weapons: Tetryon vs Antiproton?

TBH, I'm fine for hull damage as well thnks to the jem'hadar bridge officer's torp spread 3, a cutting beam, and another torp spread (1 or 2, me forgets)
Unless someone brings up a REALLY good point about anti-proton, as frankly I can live without th 20% crit bonus, I'll stick with 2 tetryon dhc and a dc on front (both with dmgx2 accx2), and 2 tetryon turrets with dmgx2 accx2 (th eother slots eing taken up by the torpedo and cutting beam)
Why don't they bring out anti-tetryonic plasmic disruptive phased polarized weapons already?
I used Tetryon a long time ago back in Season1, and now it is the only energy type I no longer use at all
Its anti-shield focus is a big liability vs. hull tankers, so tetryon-based ships usually have to run torps to compensate. As previously mentioned, Tetryon-only builds really suffer in STF's since most opponents are 5% shields + 95% hull.
If you're a tactical captain, then antiproton is going to be one of the strongest available energy weapon types (especially if you spec for max critical hits and severity). Otherwise feel free to ignore it.
AP chews through shields and hulls equally well, without any DPS-drop off nor sporadic proc-dependencies like Tetryon. If you want shield-drain abilities, then consider the 2-Piece Omega set bonus Tetryon Glider with max Flow Capacitors. TG actually outperforms full tetron-only ship builds not running Omega items because it triggers with every weapon hit, while the tetryon proc only has a 2.5% trigger rate per weapon per firing cycle (yes, this is quite depressing).

Staff Reporter
State Government employees, including teachers, to participate
New pension scheme to be examinedSelling away of PSUs deplored
VISAKHAPATNAM: Eight million employees and teachers working under State Governments in the country would participate in the December 14 general strike opposing the economic policies of the UPA Government and also seeking the withdrawal of the new contributory pension scheme and filling vacant posts and demanding a right to strike.
R. Muthusundaram, All India State Government Employees Federation additional general secretary and P. Subbarayan, general secretary of APNGOs' Association, told reporters here on Monday that the strike was not for any immediate benefit but to oppose the anti-labour and anti-employee policies also impinging upon the lives of common people of the country.
Mr. Muthusundaram said though the new pension scheme was made applicable to those who had joined employment in 2004, in the terms of reference of the Sixth Pay Commission, it was stated that pension and other retirement benefits of employees appointed prior to 2004 also would be examined. Alleging that it would affect all employees, he said the contributory pension scheme was meant to divert huge amounts to private fund managers to enable them invest in the speculative stock market. He expressed the apprehension that in such a scenario guaranteed quantum of pension would be denied to employees. Referring to the Supreme Court ruling that employees could not go on strike, he said employees lacked alternative means to highlight their grievances. Strike was an inalienable right of employees and the government should confer the right on them, he said. In West Bengal, though the State Government had conferred the right to strike, employees did not strike work in the last 28 years as alternative mechanisms were provided, he said.
Strike in AP
The employee leader also assailed the government for not filling posts and resorting to contract employment and outsourcing of services even as five crore registered unemployed were languishing without jobs.
Mr. Subbarayan said the Joint Action Committee and the Struggle Committee had served the notice for the December 14 strike and called upon employees to participate. He said the UPA Government and the State Government had promised to resolve employees' problems before elections but backtracked now.He also wanted leaders of political parties to prevent attacks on employees. M. Janardhan Reddy, Chairman of Andhra Pradesh Public Sector Employees Federation, has deplored governments selling away PSUs instead of strengthening them. State vice-president K. Raja Rao and district secretary M.V.V.S. Vara Prasada Rao were present.
