For this match it takes place on a Halo ring planet, so there are plenty of creatures that can be used as hosts.
Looking over what both sides have to offer, I think the Necromorphs take this one.
What say you?

ahahahahahah haahashh!!!!!! the flood wins easily no arguments.
just a query about the necromorphs
is it ever explained if the host of a necromorph is still self aware?
I highky doubt if a host of a necro-morph is still aware, considering the significant mutations you see in the game.
I highly doubt if a host of a necromorph is still aware, considering the significant mutations you see in the game.
don't just sit there and laugh, tell us how?
So, do necromorphs actually die? As far as I was aware, dropping them into the sun was the only way to kill them permenantly.
with the host no longer self aware, suddenly a lot less nightmare fuel flows with their blood…
For the necro morphs to actually die it requires you to amputate their limbs.
I doubt that the necromorphs also have any way to permanetly kill the flood.
@ admin
What exactly are the creatures that are inhabiting halo.
I though amputating limbs only rendered them harmless.
this is actually a really interesting match, flood vs necromorphs…..
the flood swarm with infection forms to gain victims to assimilate, whereas the necromorphs drive creatures to insanity and causes them to kill themselves to assimilate.
big factor how is this match starting, like 1 flood spore, and one infecter?
because its very possible for the flood to lose, because they need to accumulate biomass before the big thing start coming. but the necromorphs would have thier heavy hitter from the get go and would probably start with more infecters.
the flood have proven themselves to be feared though. what i know about flood is that they are strong and can have numbers, but they are basically liquified inside so idk how much punishment a nonpure flood form can take, but necromorphs are greatly resistant to damage that doesnt remove limbs.
do necromorphs have a central nervous system?
wtf would happen if a flood infection form hit a necro…?
its caused by a retrovirus i believe, it mutates the host, so they should still have a nervous system, just decayed and primal, under the control of the hive mind.
"wtf would happen if a flood infection form hit a necro…?"
well, hard to say i'd assume that since the flood assimilate biomass the infection form might take on the virus and be under the influence of the necromorphs.
The necromorphs are created by an infector jammin its probe thing into dead creatures which change them into necromorphs fairly instantanly. They can technicaly over run the flood due to the rapid speed they are created. Couple that with the general superiority of their main combat forms compared to the flood and the inclusion of the heavier form of mutation and the match further goes to the necros. The only way I see the flood winning is if their armed with cutting weapons since bullets are generally useless as seen in the movie.
Finally! I've been wanting to see this match for so long but I digress.
The flood might have a slight advantage in that they can possibly have access to guns and other weapons but the necromorphs are unaffected by bullets and can keep going at you as long as they have something to kill you with. With the many different strains of Necromorphs that have tougher armors the flood infectors probably won't even get to breach what's underneath. Necromorphs have an instant conversion time and don't have to worry about their victims "not having enough body mass". This means that they're not as picky as the flood infectors, who only possess bodies that have enough mass and flesh to create their warriors. I don't even want to think about what would happen if the Necromorphs somehow had enough bodies gathered to make for the bosses seen in Dead Space.
Exactly what observer said. They can use practically any piece of biomass to create a creature capable of ripping men apart from babies to severed heads. Nothing is to small or too big.
when they jam the probe into dead bodies it releases a retro virus into the corpse reanimating it and rewriting dna.
unless the flood get a hold of some plasma weapons or flamethrowers than they are gonna have a hard time, plus necromorph forms usually require a lot less mass and can tank alot more damage. not to mention that the infectors can create even more powerful variants of the same mutations at their own discretion, when needed.
once the flood enter the host they completely take control of the body thus rendering it to the flood, they also can use just about any weapon except for gravity hammers, energy swords and i think that's about it. The flood come in many different forms not just as parasites, they also have mobile producers and giants egg sacks that release alot of the flood and if the necromorphs want to defeat the flood they need to find the gravemind and kill him. (Also flood usually lurk in the shadows most of the time but i bet the necromorphs do as well.)
The flood have more than one way of infecting a creature, if an organism breathes in too much flood spores then they can turn into a combat form.
Also if there is a large store of calcium then the flood are capable of creating pure forms.
(I.e tank forms)
"if an organism breathes in too much flood spores then they can turn into a combat form."
Well if that's the only alternate way the flood can infect a host then the Necros take this one in for sure. Dead or alive if you get caught by the infector (then again this also applies to the flood), you're dead and therefore have no need to breathe.
"Also if there is a large store of calcium then the flood are capable of creating pure forms."
The battle takes place on a halo ring. In the first Halo the flood weren't able to take in enough calcium to make pure forms so how would they gather enough to make any in this case?
"The battle takes place on a halo ring. In the first Halo the flood weren't able to take in enough calcium to make pure forms so how would they gather enough to make any in this case?"
Because they didn't have as much freedom on the halo ring AND the halo had self-destructed.
In halo 2 the flood were stuck in a Quarantine zone in which they had to fight both the massive amounts of the robotic sentinals and the small task force of covenant elites.
Just look in high Charity, it's smaller than Halo but, the flood turned it into a flood hive and created pure forms.
In this match Admin, didn't say anything about the sentinals or any other enemies other than the necromorphs.
So the only thing you'll get from this battle is a butch of corpses ripe for infecting and mutating.
Your sort of missing the point. The flood won't have time to gather any resources before they are swarmed. Once that probe thing is jammed into any form of dead tissue that piece of tissue is turned into a flesh rending killing machine within about 5 seconds of initial contact. That means 12 combat forms a minute from a single infector and man to man the necromorphs base combat unit is more powerful then the floods due to built in weaponry and superior durability. With 5 infection bat things the flood will be swarmed before they even get their army off the ground by combat forms ready for combat the moment they were poked. Couple that with their ability to merge to create bigger and more powerful forms and The Flood are screwed.
I guess, anyways the flood don't really have what it takes to properly kill the necromorphs.
there will be no gravemind, flood advance in stages equal to the amount of biomass the have at their disposal and time, if they dont secure the resources they cant form a gravemind. whereas the necromorphs have the hive mind regardless of resources.
the necromorphs have pregnants that release flesh corroding parasites upon bursting. not to mention the multiple forms the necromorphs have that are capable of launcing flesh shredding barbs.
The gravemind isn't formed by multiple flood it's the leader of the flood who is evil and really BIG. Also the flood have tentacle like extensions coming off of their body which could most likely tear away flesh as well.
you seem to fail to realize that there isnt 1 gravemind. its a stage of the flood infection of an area. no resources no gravemind. however gravemind are telepathic, if this werent an isolated fight on a halo ring with no outside intervention then it would be possible for an outside gravemind to direct the flood but seeing as this is not the case they will need to gather resources and form a local gravemind or else they are stuck with primal instinct.
and you know this how first off? and if the flood do manage to get a gravemind how would it turn out for the necromorphs
@Darkx-Not to mention they have those creepy, super fast combat forms that were enhanced due to the soldiers armour when the military intercepted that escape pod. Frankly the Necros got this.
While only one Gravemind is ever seen in the games, it is only the title is given to the final stage of Flood evolution.
How did you manage to get that? And i still only know that it takes five seconds to infect somebody and that they can grow barbs to tear away flesh.
internet died while i was posting.
well number 1 its in the book that comes with the collector editions of halo 3.
and 2. umm read….halo.wikia.com/wiki/Gravemind
and for the record. gravemind are merged corpses and flood biomass so again, no resources, no gravemind.
this is an isolated fight they'll need a new gravemind.
the odds of them getting a gravemind are slim the time and resources necessary to form a proto-gravemind are large drains but then said proto-gravemind has to mature to critical mass requiring even more time and resources. and even then its rare. and even if they got a gravemind it wouldnt be that intelligent because it would only have the intellect of the creatures use to make it and it would be cut of from the other graveminds.
the flood would do better not even attempting to make one.
ahhh i hated those things but they wont get em here. but they'll have just about everything else.
………i still need more than two facts on the necromorphs.
Once infected, the transformation of a dead body into a Necromorph is extremely quick (with certain exceptions such as Leapers), typically happening in a matter of seconds (the transformation actually occurs in exactly 10 seconds, according to the game producers). This transformation is extremely gruesome and disturbing for observers. The body of the Necromorph host is forced into new twisted shapes to fit the function of the newly spawned creature. The actual type of Necromorph created stems entirely on the location and circumstances, as well as the host body's current form. For example, Lurkers are created from any infant human. The bacterium responsible for the infection is also referred to as 'The Corruption' in background logs. All Necromorphs are extremely hardy and capable of surviving in lethal environments no human without appropriate protection could even venture into, such as the vacuum of space and being the main reason that they are reanimated undead organisms and do not need to rely on organs for respiration, and as experience shows, shooting them in the torso, let alone in the head is fruitless.
Necromorphs do not suffer from the weaknesses of the bodies they are made from; their bodies need no oxygen to survive, and therefore no blood. Injuries that would kill an ordinary human, particularly the destruction of vital organs or severs lacerations, have little effect on them, and they will never cease an attack no matter how many bullets are fired into them. Countless have died due to not knowing the only true way to kill the Necromorphs: dismemberment. The only way to kill the creatures is to literally rip them to pieces; remove the head, arms, legs, and other appendages until the creature is killed.
Each creature has its own strategies when it comes to dismemberment: some creatures will simply die after enough limbs have been removed, some creatures will die instantly if a specific limb is cut off, while some creatures will become even more of a threat if shot in the wrong place. Learning how to dismember creatures is mostly done through trial-and-error. However, dismemberment is the only way to stop the reanimated horrors in their tracks and is the best way to survive.
Strangely enough, dismembering a Necromorph's head doesn't render them completely harmless and useless, and are somehow still able to attack you. How this is done is unknown, but it could be the Hive Mind and its telepathic powers, or some form of internal body sensor, or the Necromorphs have multiple eyes. It is also unknown how the bodies function without a brain. It could be that Necromorphs develop some kind of decentralized nervous system, and have some kind of brain-like structure elsewhere in their body (possibly several of them, in the case of the Divider Necromorph). This would explain why dismemberment is required to subdue them, as their brain has been relocated to their specific limbs. The origin of Dividers is unknown, and appear to be the reincarnation of a dismembered body. Slashers can be killed with one shot with the Plasma cutter if shot in the right place.
dead space wikia.
I just went back and to the part where you first see someone infected(I think its the ships captain) and your right its 10 seconds. Still that extremely fast.
Also too bad the necros can't get Twitchers(my nickname for them). Those things were the most badass enemies in the game after that Regenerator boss thing. That fucker scared me the second time around when he crashed through the ceiling. Dead Space was the best horror game this gen.
yeah but towards the end it got less tense and more shooter, and i didnt like that plus it was short.
but splitters and new things are possible because of the life forms on a halo ring. ahhhh splitters impossible mode nightmares.
O.O, thank you for the info and i think my vote is gonna be safe with the necromorphs FTW.
A gravemind could communicate with floods on the other side of the galaxy
The halo ring is enough for creating a flood hive,remeber how they quickly turned high charity into a flood hive while it was just a space station.
The flood can create a proto gravemind very quickly as seen in the halo graphic novel.
And the flood spores would infect the necros when they inhaled to lmuch
The flood would win this
do necromorphs breath?? being dead and all?
@ Sapper
You obviously didn't read the earlier comments.
The necromorphs do not require oxygen, as seen in deadspace they are capable of surviving in the vacume of space.
O.O, now this is starting to change for me because of some acts…………this is an unnecessary comment to read.
"A gravemind could communicate with floods on the other side of the galaxy

all of this is speculation. the flood have never had to compete over biomass like they will here. there are no other flood in existance just for the purpose of this fight so no intergalatic flood communication so a gravemind intellect is gonna be severely hampered. necromoprhs dont inhale. high charity was basically perferct for flood, all the biomass the wanted.
how fast is fast? proto-graveminds are immobile sacs of corpses they dont do much of anything, full matue graveminds are so resource exhausting that there has only been at the most 2 since the extinction of the forerunners. then just the fact that necromorphs could kill flood and turn them into necromorphs and the flood have no means of mutating the necromorphs(or a method has yet to be proven)
the necromorphs took out a space station in about 24 hrs.
they took a mining colony, and mining ship within the same week.
necromorphs forms come from necessity, flood forms come from stages. the necromorphs will have what they need when they need it. and they flood will have to fight for it so much harder.
@hotshot-You obviously didn't read any of the posts ahead of you but the Necros don't breathe cause they're dead already. The word Necro in their name should have given it away and if that didn't the fact that they can operate in hard vacuum should have. Further more it doesn't matter if a Gravemind can control them because in the time it takes to make one attack force for the flood the Necros would have had already overrun them. 10 second to create a unit capable of shredding yours man for man is too fast for them. one infecter can create 6 combat forms a minute. With just 5 infecters they'd have 30 combat forms a minute. In ten minutes they'd have 300 combat forms. They'd zerg rush the flood before they can even put up a proper defense. Necros for the win.
and this what i hate about fights.
Infection forms can infect someone in 5 seconds as seen in halo 3.
Ok flood spores can't infect the necros bu the spores can terraform an area in a flood hive.The halo environment contains enough fauna and flore,so the flood have no problem for reproducing.
The proto gravemind in the halo graphics novel and halo evolutions was created in a few hours.
That infector should first infect someone before creating a combat form
There are some large flood buildings that can't be killed and will regenerate,they reproduce lots of flood forms.
Flood infection forms can fly as seen in halo legends
"Infection forms can infect someone in 5 seconds as seen in halo 3."
does it ever happen that fast in novel because as u know you get pissed on around here for using gameplay especially from halo.
Ok flood spores can't infect the necros bu the spores can terraform an area in a flood hive.The halo environment contains enough fauna and flore,so the flood have no problem for reproducing."
yep same can be said for the necros but they can infect the flood.
"The proto gravemind in the halo graphics novel and halo evolutions was created in a few hours."
a protograve mind is immobile, and has limited intelligence, hence a target if it doesnt mature then its worthless.
"That infector should first infect someone before creating a combat form"
the thing with the necros is that an infector isnt need to make combat forms direct contact with the virus is enough as well. so both parties have physical and airborne infection
"There are some large flood buildings that can't be killed and will regenerate,they reproduce lots of flood forms."
necros also corrupt the area in a similar manner
"Flood infection forms can fly as seen in halo legends"
so can infectors
processing new facts into opinion and will see what happens next.
I don't take Halo: Legends to be canon cause some of the things shown in those episodes were completely ridiculous. For example that Dragon Ball Z style episode, that Gundam style episode, and that retarded looking water colored episode. And since I never ran into flying flood in the games nor were they mentioned in the novels your going to have to present evidence.
Further more The Flood Transformation takes many minutes in actual canon then the newly infected form has to learn how to use their new body so that takes more time.
sucky fight, sucky fight, still bringing in new facts.
@ sonofhades
really……..,. stop that its really annoying to try and read relevant post to gather an understanding of the arguement with you posting your complaints about this fight. Whats the problem with this fight? huh?
no matter what happens it seems that the necromorphs always have the advantage over what the flood have so that's y i posted "sucky fight, sucky fight."
i dont know who the necromorphs are but they will meet their doom at the hands of that freaky chicken flood thing on the pic….nothing could beat that
"sucky fight, sucky fight, still bringing in new facts."
well sounds like you need to up your debate game and stop being so fucking worthless…
"does it ever happen that fast in novel because as u know you get pissed on around here for using gameplay especially from halo."
Yes,jenkins transformed in a combat forms in seconds,seen in halo:the flood
But still game canon>books,except game mechanics
"necros also corrupt the area in a similar manner"
What kind?
"I don't take Halo: Legends to be canon cause some of the things shown in those episodes were completely ridiculous. For example that Dragon Ball Z style episode, that Gundam style episode, and that retarded looking water colored episode. And since I never ran into flying flood in the games nor were they mentioned in the novels your going to have to present evidence."
That dragonball z style is said to be non-canon,the rest is canon.What ridiculous things?
Halo wars had flying floods
The flying infection forms were seen in the episode origins
"Further more The Flood Transformation takes many minutes in actual canon then the newly infected form has to learn how to use their new body so that takes more time."
No it takes some seconds,
Look at the 18th post because that's my reason for why I'm not posting anything else and also i only know that the necromorphs are a better version than the flood and that they don't breathe.
hotshot those are some pretty outrageous claims. I hope you have canon evidence to back up those claims. Basically what I'm saying is go fetch the urls to the sites where it proves you correct. Meaning documented evidence.
"Mid7night: Where in the gradient of Halo "cannon" will this fall? In the realm of the current-released books, or more like "published fan-fiction" ? (Posted 7/24/09 5:26 pm)
Frankie: It's canon, like books. Except for Toei. But there IS interpretation – armor styling etc. It's art, after al. (Posted 7/24/09 5:42 pm)"
From the Bungie.org forums.
Frankie is pretty much the word of god for the halo series. Halo Legends (except episode Odd one out with spartan 1337) is canon.
Thanks Original that clears that up. But hotshot still hasn't proven the transformation time of a flood combat unit in comparison to the 10 seconds required for the Necros.
To paraphrase.
Game is top canon
Then Books & other mediums
Then ads
So if the games say the flood can infect in seconds then he is right.
"I don't take Halo: Legends to be canon cause some of the things shown in those episodes were completely ridiculous. For example that Dragon Ball Z style episode, that Gundam style episode, and that retarded looking water colored episode. And since I never ran into flying flood in the games nor were they mentioned in the novels your going to have to present evidence."
Yeah…All of that was cannon except "THE ODD ONE OUT".
" Flood infection is a rapid and efficient biological process, which can take under a minute in extreme cases"
So…it can take under a minute at most.
But can it compete with ten seconds?
"necros also corrupt the area in a similar manner"
"What kind?"
walls covered in dead matter, creatures on walls that create other creatures, massive tendrils running throughout super structures, that sorta thing.
Basically: Games>published material>ads
In Halo 3 the Flood can fully convert a target (such as an Elite or a human) in under 10 seconds.
nice 2 fast spreading highly dangerous races.
Halo Legends is not canon. Lets look at all the errors.
The flood came after the discovery of the halo rings
The UNSC and covenant never joined up
Cortana can't leap off of a hologram projector and wipe frost from a cryo-tube
No SPARTAN escaped from Reach, went back to their home planet and saw their clones.
No SPARTAN looked down on the project
That SPARTAN was horribly slow
Needler shots penetrated her armour
The C.Q.C. suit didn't even exist yet
They don't make armour in red
The duel
elites don't chat about their social lives with there wives
arbiters don't have social lives
Elites don't were japanese clothes and armour
Hunters arn't 30 ft tall
When they evacuated, the went to heart of the Midlothian, which didn't even make it to the planet, it got intercepted if you read Halo-evolutions
The one with S-1337
The one with ODSTs
SPARTANs don't have long hair
SPARTANs have taken harder hits than the one that killed her
The Pakage
Never happened
The flyers don't exist
2 SPARTANs don't exist
MC first encountered elites at the fall of reach
seraph fighters are messed up and way to weak
Overall it sucked. plus the deaths don't match up. Only 3 S-IIs died until the fall of Reach. Only 3 died Sam and Kurt(who everyone thought was dead) like 5 SPARTANs died in that movie. It doesn't make any sense.
"elites don't chat about their social lives with there wives
arbiters don't have social lives
Elites don't were japanese clothes and armour
Hunters arn't 30 ft tall"
I'm sorry but what makes you an expert about alien culter from some thousand years past? Did it not occure to you that maybe their culter had been altered when they entered the Covenent (which was what the whole Duel episode was about).
"The one with S-1337
Is stated to be non-canon.
"2 SPARTANs don't exist"
Oh, so you know the names and numbers of every spartan that ever existed now?
But above all the creator of the Halo Legends series, and the current franchies development director for the entire halo series, says it is canon. How the fuck do you despute that?
What 343 Industies says is canon to halo is canon to halo, and they say that Legends (except Odd One Out with Spartan 1337) is canon. What you are saying is the equivilant of saying that Goerge Lucas doesn't have canon control over the star wars universe. It is rediculous.
Sorry, what I meant was those specific parts shouldn't be considered canon. Seriously though, look at some of those mistakes. Needler shots that penetrated a SPARTAN's armour? Needler shots pinged off of Maste Chief's suit in The Fall of Reach. Have you read the Cole Protocol? From what I read, Elites don't act anything close to how they acted. The reason the S-IIs didn't exist was because they clearly died in the movie, but a total of 3 have died before the fall of reach. Sam and Kurt makes 2(though kurt was actually alive, he needed to seem dead). THey also seemed to be part of blue team, which was actually John,Kelly,Fred,Linda, and James. I'm not quite sure but I think they got Fred's hair wrong as well.
Lets bring George Lucas into this. You agree that the star wars movies are canon right? Remember when a snowspeeder crashed into the AT-AT? It took it down right? When people brought that up you(Not you personally) simply dissmissed it. My whole piont is that we shouldn't really be using examples from Legends to back up or disprove anything, unless the example clearly makes sense and doesn't really contradict previous canon.
"The flood came after the discovery of the halo rings"
The flood are an extragalactic species and they fought the forerunners and other before.
"The UNSC and covenant never joined up"
The elites joined the UNSC.But indeed the brutes hnever did,ithey maybe showed that for drama
"Cortana can't leap off of a hologram projector and wipe frost from a cryo-tube"
Maybe she got some forerunner powers as she absorbed lots of info from the alpha halo control room,remember in halo the flood,she just waved her hands and spark fell out of the air.
"No SPARTAN escaped from Reach, went back to their home planet and saw their clones."
There is no proof of your statement
"No SPARTAN looked down on the project"
Some mebers of grey team did the same,trying to escape
"That SPARTAN was horribly slow"
Mistake of the anime magic
"Needler shots penetrated her armour"
Those needlers exploded
"The C.Q.C. suit didn't even exist yet"
There is no proof,it did exist,there are mark IV,V and VI variants of that.
Like the EVA
"They don't make armour in red"
Spartans can customize their armor like noble team did in halo reach,they jhave the freedom.
"elites don't chat about their social lives with there wives"
Why not?There is no source that denied that
"arbiters don't have social lives"
The arbiter rank in that time was given as a honor,but because fal betrayed the covenant then the prophet changed the rank inot a suicide rank.
"Elites don't were japanese clothes and armour"
That's their traditional armor ,their cultureThe cole protocol novel confirmed it.
"Hunters arn't 30 ft tall"
They can take any sizes they want,frank o connor said that.
"When they evacuated, the went to heart of the Midlothian, which didn't even make it to the planet, it got intercepted if you read Halo-evolutions"
That UNSC frigate was gonna link up with the mitlothian,but that destroyer ship is destroyed.I can't see any wrong thing,you are just confused.
"The one with S-1337"
It's confirmed to be a non canon episode,so don't worry.
"SPARTANs don't have long hair"
Ash from gamma company had
"SPARTANs have taken harder hits than the one that killed her"
It's a gravity hammer,it's very powerful.
"Never happened"
????,Why not?The chief fought in more then 200 missions against the covies,the package mission is one of them.If you disagree,then you can probably list all those 200+ missions.
"The flyers don't exist"
Do you really think that bungie gave us all information of the entire halo universe?You are acting like you know that all.
"2 SPARTANs don't exist"
The halo creators never gave us all spartan names that ever existed,so you are wrong.
"MC first encountered elites at the fall of reach"
That's old canon,really?Why wouldn't the chief never see any elite?They are the leaders of the covenant military.
"seraph fighters are messed up and way to weak"
There is nothing wrong with and those shields are down.
"Overall it sucked. plus the deaths don't match up. Only 3 S-IIs died until the fall of Reach. Only 3 died Sam and Kurt(who everyone thought was dead) like 5 SPARTANs died in that movie. It doesn't make any sense."
The number of spartans are messed up since first strike.There are more spartans then we know,you are acting like you know everything.
Your complains are useless,you really think you have the entire halo bible in your hands.Relax,it's canon and they said the spartans numbers will grow and become more ridiculous,i'm not worried as they know what they are doing.
Back on topic the flood would win
so how about some more proof of why theyd win it seems pretty even to me.
Stronger flood forms
Care to elaborate on that hotshot like posting the forms and their strengths from canon sources so i can rip them apart.
after aquistion of necessary biomass required to create and maintain more powerful forms. besides necromorphs have more powerful forms also.
this is a very even match.
Oke midnite,but not now.Haven't much time
heres some basic info on the necros.
deadspace.wikia.com/wiki/Flytrap-new deadspace 2 enemy
i believe two of these were removed from dead space but included in extraction.
originally i had every necromorph link but that one wouldnt post
so heres the link to the necromorphs
"When they evacuated, the went to heart of the Midlothian, which didn't even make it to the planet, it got intercepted if you read Halo-evolutions"
Idiot…..they went to the ship before The Heart of the Midlothian was intercepted by the covenant strike team.
Flood combat forms don't breath either.
WTF?My post is somehow removed???????
Infection form:
They infect lifeforms,there are other variants of them capable of flying.seen in origins
Combat forms:
Are infected species
Carrier forms:
They transport infection forms and create them.They explode when being hit.
The explosion is very dangerous
Flood spores:
They can create hive and can infect species when being inhaled.
Stalker form:
It is specialized in stealth and agility.It attacks someone with melee attacks
Ranged form:
It can stick into a wall and starts firing spikes.It can curl into a ball for protection
Tank form:
A large flood form attacking it's enemies with powerful melle attacks.It also ejects infection forms from it's mouth.
Proto gravemind:
Evolves into a gravemind,it stores lots of information from dead bodies.It can't move or attack.
Flood growth pods:
Spherical pods creating infection forms inside.Are created in flood areas.
Flood dispersal pods:
The flood equivelant of the HEV pod and covie pod.They use it to quickly infect a large area.
Infector form:
It fires flood spores and is capable of regenerating.
Transport form:
It's capable fo carrying 6 other combat forms into a destination.It recycles flood biomass
Stealth form:
Like it name says,very good at stealth and has 4 tentacles capable of firing 4 weapons.
large flood form and powerful,could jump very far and high.Ita attacks with 2 powerful tentacles.
Flood launcher:
A flood tower,fires long range flood biomass,it's powerful and it also released spores.
Flying flood forms firing barb projectiles,they attack in large packs.
Flood dent:
A large building capable of creating many flood forms,it can't be destroyed by any conventional weapons.It will go in dormant state when sustainig enough damage.
Bomber form:
Flying flood forms,strong and bombard their enemies with pods full of infection forms.
Trasher form:

Flood stalks:
A tree like structure with growth pods.
Flood vent:
A building that creates bomber forms,it can't be killed.
Flood colonys:
Can't be destroyed but can't attack either.
It gives power to the proto gravemind
Flood root:
A large tentacle that grapes and throws it's enemies.
Many undentified flood forms in rorigins,,some are the size of space ships.
Not that I know of.
The flood wins ahahahah
AHAHA the flood win
Yup,the flood for the award
Bullshit….Necros for the win.
you cant jump in make a list and claim victory……….fucking retard.
no damn proof.
arent you forgetting about the Corruption?
"Bullshit….Necros for the win."
No proof?
"you cant jump in make a list and claim victory……….fucking retard."
1.That's because midnite asked me
2.Look at yourself,you claimed that the necros will win this without giving a single proof,you have won the award of retards congratiolations
"no damn proof."
So did you
C'mon prove me how those necros are gonna dflood forms that can't be killed and can spit lots of flood forms
Think of it like this the flood conquered the second most advanced race in halo and in order to be stopped had to have all sentient life in the GALAXY obliterated and they still lived compared with the necromorphs who were failing to get at your character the miner (although he did have a shitload of plot-shielding)
Not only that,they conquered many other galaxies
I have been waiting and watching to see when this match would come up!! 😀
I love both of these species…and each is completely OMGWTFPWN in their own area's of expertise. This is just basically a race. The flood have the ability to take this as a win, but they would be hard pressed. Just as The Flood can Terraform an area, the Necro's have been shown to do the same, just no way near as large on a scale as The Flood. That might be the key to victory. The Flood itself is a Flood Supercell. Each one intelligent and capable to communicate with electronics. Also, if enough are present, they can make any organ they want, or structure, or hell…perhaps even entity.
Another one? Here is my list of pros/cons, it was a close fight mind you.
Stealth oriented,
biological weapons,
Swarm oriented,
able to operate weapons,
very fast spreading,
able to infect many necromorph types,
huge hive leader (thousands of miles of tentacles every direction)
Very efficient at recycling bodies (took hours to turn High Charity into a hive, a planet sized ship),
In back stories Flood are able to reused dismembered forms (immediatly reused),
able to be infected by the Flood,
unable to have many long range weapons,
slower spreading rate,
plays dead (inefective against Flood),
smaller Hive Leader,
Not as efficient at recycling bodies (days to turn the Ishimura, a planetoid sized ship),
Dies when dismembered (eventually recycled),
Bio Weapon isn't as efficient as Necromorph's,
Not stealthy,
Brutes/dividers and other types can't be infected,
Humerous looking,
Not as dexterious as Necromorphs,
The Flood has more going towards it. Personally I find it distasteful that The Flood was able to beat the Necromorphs, but facts don't lie.
Well, seeing how an engineer with power tools fought the necromorphs by himself and killed their hivemind, while an intergalactic empire fought the flood for 300 years and only managed a stalemate I would have to say the flood is better.
@ Matt I sure didn't say that a couple posts ago… (whistles)
In the first battle between the two with a straight up struggle Flood would win. They infect and mutate faster and are considerably stronger and faster than many of the necromorph creatures.
However the necromorph as a virus rather than a parasite can infect the corpses of both flood and their hosts. That said it can even infect still living flood and their hosts. Ultimately it would go to the necromorph.
It would take a very long time but it's a far more resilient species.
flood, they took over a planet with a population of 220 billion in under 36 hours.
The flood have it as only one spore can infec one person while the infectors for necromorphs can infect many more; also remaining on the infectors point of veiw you'll have to shoot the necromorph infector multiple times before it falls and the flood you only have to hit it once and even if they are in a group they will send off a chain reaction when you hit one and they deep poping like balloons. I beleive that they still remain intaked with they're bodies intill they die for both the flood and the necromorphs; for the flood though you only know that they have conciousness through the book it never clarifies in the game or give hint to it, while the necromorphs I know that they have concious because of the slight hints they gave in through the games movieand the comicbook; we all know the story of them haveing a first hand veiw of the floods point of veiw in the halo book so easy enough said there, the necromorphs though give hints to that of people with the possibility to have they're mind in tacked to the body, you see this in the first game of the precher as he thinks he is sending people off to the good of the church because of the stone which was making him go insane and not think throughly right; then to the movie it took into acord of all the people who worshiped the rock because it called out to them, to the people of the ships security and how the rock made the men seem like they were going insane, to Iorns the big belleid guy how talked to the rock worshipers as he even though could probably continue fighting (you have also seen him strugleing to remain focus through out the whole film) fell to his knees and started praying hoping his flesh would deem him worthy of serving they're will; then to the wii game this I think gave us some of the biggest hints; the man in the first chapter seems to be an ordinary guy in the beggining and he is an enginner and is called to lift the rock for transport you hear a ring and he continues to do his work to what his boss told him to do(… yadey blah blah story continues) he is then faced with people who are acting weird people killing others (fast forrward things intice) you get to the point where Logan goes "insane" right here is where your first hint is (the flash and the jumping screen) your guy seems completly normal and is doing just what you think you might be doing (continue he hears voices kills more enimes blah blah blah kills other employee he came in with, starts yelling for help to the comming down elevator as the "enimees" (run at him to attack and kill him)) you get further on the elevator hits he freaks out seeing more insane people come off of it and is shot only then does he see that they were not enimees and dies in confusion, latter on you start seeing lights and sounds and voices and you see people killing others as you run by them (blah blah blah), the team you are with falls appart do to lossing they're minds and dieing, Lexine falls into the water being eatten by the swarmers and you don't find her, doctor lady starts going insane as you hear her words in the begining, claiming that she did not know what happened where she was and what she was doing till she found Lexine in a complette other location where she healed her and fought a brute then secured her in the area with Eggheart where he allows the drag tentacle to get her, so with this if Isac could see Nichole maybe because he was going insane then maybe the other guys where seeing her because they were going insane too; the comic book was helpful by taking place of the doctor and his coruption already and it changing to a greater greed of his own, to the guy in the cell writing gibberish to all, to the mass suicide in the main district hall; so I think that necromorphs have they're human mind like the flood do but they see things as something completly differnet, the game shows the people seeing necromorphs but maybe they may be seeing something else something that is more of a hate and a must and they just lose they're fear. The varity to the necromorphs and the flood is probably a tie, I'm sure that Halo mint this but they never had shown this and also that Dead Space ment this that the infection forms can act on all tissue able to support life however it does state for the flood they host off of dead tissue and with the necromorphs though the most common way of them getting the supports is by dead as well they can make it off living tissue as well. The flood are more appted to slaugher by heat and main points on the body and will morph the body not as great as the necromorphs, but they more of stretch the skin with the muscle fibers to form a more apptable host, they also consist of a liquidy substance more like tar then mucus making certain attacks useless towards them; the necromorphs on the other hand live more on the will power of that they hold intwined with the artifact rock, this in making them able to run without blood and vital organs, the bodies however are mutated greatly stretching bones and muscles fusion of others together and of they're own physical and mental states, the positives to them is this makes them more powerful and able to run against your flairing gun without the thought of pain and extents to the multitude of attacks and strength atribuations, the down side to this is the skin is stretched out of propoortion breaking it and sending it in rips to the ground exposing tender joints of which can now be dismembered easier for the most, but as theyr's bodies run on they're own will power even against impossible odds they will not die till they're life time has served it's own course of the decay of they're own flesh. They are equal and simular in the ways that they breed and co-inherent with other life forms and inanimated objects with the spread of the infectious ground that serves as a great breading place for them and for the young where if the infection gets deep enough it can suck you down and consune you. The ability to run on attack and sheer willpower as the life support and ability to change more bodies with one creature makes it clear that necromorphs are the more dominiant race of the two. [I probably missed several things so write back if something is not clear to you… and you don't have to look at my annylasis or even bring that into the picture if you want to have yours' said as the flood though that is not what I would agree to.]
Are Forerunner tech availible to both sides? If so, the flood who actually know how to use it clearly win.
@chuckforest It happens
You are confussing a spor for an infection, and hypothetically yes an infection Flood is weaker, but a spore is a very small object that can infect also, and the gravemind spews billions of spores.
The flood spores may be many and yes they are but they are about the same size as a persons head they are just made of some sort of liquid substance. And Sorry for the long message it was a long day so I did some cmparisons and answered to the most degree of things. Now onto the Grave Mind he is of one while for the Necromorphs there is 5, likely named: The Hive Mind, The Leviathan, The Urchin, The Slug and The Spider. Even if The Grave Mind was the stronger of them all with the numbers he would be taken down most likely. Again sorry for the long read but actually thanks for reading the whole thing. Oh and along with the fore-runners technologies; if the flood used them it would only kill them because it kills there food source while Necromorphs don't have have a food source they just multiply and kill making them the upper hand. It states that it actually kills all living things which Necromorphs are not living they are just possessed by an artifact that will effect all living things any way after being expossed to it for a certain amount of time.

A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers by Henry David Thoreau
(Edited by Carl F. Hovde, William L. Howarth, and Elizabeth Hall Witherell
With a new introduction by John McPhee), New Jersey: Princeton Classics Editions, Princeton University Press (June 13, 2004), Paperback: 440 pages, $11.44, Reviewed by John G Hall
It has been 165 years since the publication of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers by Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849, the book tells the story of a canoe trip taken by Thoreau and his older brother John from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire in 1839.
Thoreau was twenty-two and John was twenty-five.
This was Thoreau's first published book. He wrote in tribute to his brother John, who died of tetanus on 11 January1842.
Thoreau completed the first draft of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, while living at Walden Pond. However, he was unable to find a publisher and published the book at his own expense. Of the 1000 published copies, Thoreau sold less than 300.
"A slightly revised version of the book, based on corrections Thoreau made himself, was published in 1868, six years after his death."
Although A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers did not attract an audience, even among some of Thoreau's man now consider it one of his classic works. Part of the reason is that
"Thoreau was an early advocate of recreational hiking and canoeing, of conserving natural resources on private land, and of preserving wilderness as public land," according to Susan Cheever.
There are several editions of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers available. However, the 2004 paperback edition published by Princeton University Press is the best choice.
Part of the attraction other than presenting Thoreau to a new generation of readers is the lengthy introduction by John McPhee.
Mr. McPhee retraces the canoe journey taken by Thoreau and his brother John in 1839.
The two brothers launched their canoe on 31 August 1849. According to McPhee: "ON THE THIRTY-FIRST of August, 1839, John and Henry Thoreau – brothers, aged twenty-five and twenty-two – set out from their home in Concord, Massachusetts, in a small skiff on the Sudbury River.
"They were bound for Hooksett, New Hampshire, about fifty-five water miles north. The boat was fifteen long, styled like a dory, and new. They made it in a week. They carried two sets of oars and a sail."
Over a century and a half later McPhee writes, "On the thirty-first of August 2003, with a college roommate who has long live in Concord, I set out in a sixteen-foot Old Town canoe at a put-in site on the Sudbury that is Thoreau scholars'' best guess as the place where the Thoreaus took off.
"It is now the backyard of a couple named Kate and Pete Funkhouser, who live at the intersection of Thoreau and Main Streets. Across Main is the house where Henry David Thoreau died."

I bought two for my grandchildren and was not at all satisfied nor was I comfortable they would protect them in an accident. Both were returned.

It has its ups and downs
By Best Mom
from Queens,NY
I love the price and convenience of this car seat however it is not good for when your child falls asleep- their head bobs forward and there is no comfort like that for their neck- it strains it. But other than that i love the car seat
Strap adjustment issue
By Cautious Mom
from Plymouth, MA
I am not happy with this seat for my 3 1/2 year old. He is average size, but the adjustment buckle on the harness is so high up that it doesn't allow the harness to loosen enough to fit comfortably over his shoulder. This makes one side (the side with the buckle) too close to his neck. I don't feel he is as safe as I would like him to be in this seat, so we will be getting a different one.

Not as good as I hoped
By Dotsb
from Hampton, VA
I bought this product to replace our cumbersome car seat. I loved that carseat but it was big and bulky and the fabric started smelling really bad. I bought these seats hoping they be a great replacement. Not happy at all. When the kids are not with me in the van the seats rattle. It is very annoying and distracting. Mind you I'm only doing 25mph because thats the speed limit. Just imagine if i had to go faster. This is also on freshly paved roads. Everything good about this product doesn't outweight the annoying rattling.

About 535,000 homes in Minnesota and another 10,000 businesses rely on septic systems instead of city sewage treatment plants to handle wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers. According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, at least 30 percent of these home septic systems are either failing to protect groundwater or are an imminent threat to public health and safety because of poor design or poor maintenance.
About 50,000 of these "imminent threats" are so-called straight pipe septic systems, meaning they have no in-ground treatment of the sewage. Rather, the waste is dumped directly into a stream or lake, or into a farm field drain tile pipe which discharges to a water body. Straight pipes have been illegal since the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972.
Both failing and imminent threat septic systems can cause severe contamination of rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
Minnesota law governs septic systems, but it is carried out by counties and some other local units of government. While it is a homeowner's and developer's responsibility to make sure septic systems are properly designed and maintained, many do not pay attention.
Minnesota law requires that if a septic system posing an imminent threat is discovered, it must be fixed within 10 months. However, most county governments do not conduct compliance inspections of septic systems to make sure they are properly maintained and to identify those posing an imminent threat to public health.
In 2003, MCEA developed and helped enact legislation that established and funded a pilot project in several counties, whose officials were to identify and shut down all the straight pipe septic systems in their counties. Four counties ultimately replaced 919 of the 1,103 imminent health threat septic systems found during the inventory; with the rest being replaced as contractors become available and funding becomes available for low-income residents.
The legislation also required the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop a 10-year plan to identify and correct straight pipe septic systems statewide, and established a $25 septic tank fee to raise money for counties to do enforcement and technical assistance.
Despite the plan to eliminate all imminent health threats within ten years, the state has made little progress in removing or fixing them outside the pilot project. MCEA raised the issue in its Petition for Withdrawal or Corrective Action of Minnesota's NPDES Permitting Program. Despite a large estimated reduction in imminent health threats in 2009, very few straight pipes were reported to the state.

Also continuing is the Wooden Athletic Fund's "8CLAP8K" initiative. Announced in September, the "8CLAP8K" initiative has a goal of increasing members of the Wooden Athletic Fund to 8,000 from the 5,313 at the outset of the campaign. As progress is made, it will be measured by "clapping" for each 1,000 donors who join, leading up to the goal of 8,000 donors, or, a UCLA 8-Clap. Throughout the "8CLAP8K" campaign, special incentives will be offered to new members and to current WAF members who refer friends to join. You can track our progress or join at www.8CLAP8K.com
The annual Wooden Athletic Fund membership guide and renewal packages will be sent over the course of the next few weeks to current donors who have completed their 2013 gifts. The packet will provide an in-depth look into all participation opportunities within UCLA Athletics and the interactive online version of the guide is available now by clicking HERE. The early start to this year's campaign is designed to provide donors with the greatest possible flexibility to utilize the tax-deductibility of their donation. The deadline for renewal remains June 30.
"2013 has been another fantastic year for UCLA Athletics and Bruin student-athletes have continued to achieve championship performance in competition, in the classroom and in the community," said Josh Rebholz, Associate Athletics Director of Development. "Now more than ever, the generous support of Wooden Athletic Fund donors plays an absolutely critical role in UCLA student-athletes' and coaches' ability for success. We simply can't thank these passionate donors enough for their generosity. As we build for the future, we are asking these donors as well as all alumni and fans to become champions alongside UCLA Athletics by elevating their support of these student-athletes and providing them more of the resources they need to compete amongst the nation's elite."
All 2013 Wooden Athletic Fund donors will receive a renewal form that will detail the option of renewing at their current level (minimum required donation amounts for football and/or men's basketball priority seating remain unchanged from 2013), or their "Become a Champion" amount. Entering its second year, the "Become a Champion" campaign encourages all current Wooden Athletic Fund donors to increase at least one giving level from what they donated in 2013. Additionally, all UCLA alumni, fans and friends who are not yet members are encouraged to join the Wooden Athletic Fund at the minimum $100 dollar level and all current WAF donors are encouraged to refer a new member to the Wooden Athletic Fund in 2014.

Wearing gloves, hats and thick soled shoes, psychology major Jessica Phumacee and environmental studies major Cassie Landrum spent a week with 12 other student volunteers clearing several public parks in South Florida of non-native invasive plants such as the Brazilian pepper plant.
At the 73 acre Blowing Rocks Preserve they cleared a four-foot wide path three fourths of a mile long cutting exotic plants. They also worked at Jonathan Dickinson Park and inlet State Park in Fort Pierce.
Mike Renda, biologist at Blowing Rocks said " The students provide badly needed labor. Brazilian pepper is especially tough to eliminate because birds continually drop the seeds in the oceanfront park. We have to do this all by hand and the students have all this energy and enthusiam. They are a huge help."

It's time for Power Rankings! After every race, we'll opine about who we think is at the top of the Sprint Cup heap and how and why they got there. Remember, this isn't scientific, as our formula is the perfect blend of analytics and bias against your favorite driver. So let's get on with it now, shall we?
Lucky Dog: How about Jeff Burton and Aric Almirola? Burton finished third and Almirola finished fifth, and the two are now 16th (Almirola) and 17th (Burton) in the standings.
The DNF: Tough two weeks from Joey Logano, as he's gone from 10th-19th. That's an almost unprecedented drop this late in the season, but the points standings have gone mad in that vicinity.
Dropped Out: Greg Biffle, Jamie McMurray

Tech Puts on a Show in Regular Season Finale
Oct. 26, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech put on a show Friday night in the NSCAA College Game of the Week as the Red Raiders shutout Oklahoma State 2-0 in front of a nationally televised audience at the John Walker Soccer Complex.
Freshman Janine Beckie, who entered the match as Tech's leading scorer, connected on two second half goals as the Red Raiders broke the school record for victories in a single season with their 14th of the year.
Texas Tech (14-4-1, 5-2-1 Big 12) secured a third place finish in the highly-competitive Big 12 marking the highest conference finish in school history with the Big 12 tournament looming next week in San Antonio.
"We're not done yet," head coach Tom Stone said after the match. "The team is not done yet. We are peaking in fitness right now and have a lot of soccer ahead of us."
On a chilly Friday night with temperatures dropping into the lower 40s, the Red Raiders outshot Oklahoma State 18-9, and with the victory finished the regular season an impressive 8-1 in home matches. The Red Raiders are now 22-7-1 at home since 2010.
After a scoreless first half, Beckie put Texas Tech on top in the 55th minute punching a deflected shot into the back of the net from inside the 6-yard box to give the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead. The goal swung the momentum of a back-and-forth match comfortably into the Red Raiders favor as Tech entered the game 13-0-1 on the season when striking first.
Senior Morgan Johnson picked up the assist on the score marking her fourth of the season.
The Red Raiders then struck once again as Beckie took a long feed from teammate Tiffini Smith across midfield and beat Oklahoma State's Carson Michalowski for a clean shot at the Cowgirl goal. The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native then blasted a shot from 12 yards out and beat Oklahoma State goalkeeper Andrianna Franch to the right to put Tech up 2-0 in the 71st minute.
"It was just pure class," Stone said. "She took her time, set up the defender, juked left and hit it left-footed back post. It was a great goal and put the game away for us."
Smith picked up her third assist of the season on the well-placed feed. Meanwhile, the goal was Beckie's 11th on the year to match the most by a Texas Tech freshman since teammate Jessica Fuston scored 11 during her rookie campaign in 2010.
The strike also marked Beckie's second multi-goal performance of the season as she netted two in a 3-2 double overtime victory at No. 20 Long Beach State earlier in the season.
Texas Tech goalkeeper Victoria Esson picked up her fifth shutout of the year with the win after making two saves on the night - both of which came in the first half. Texas Tech now has posted a total of eight shutouts on the year after setting a school record with 10 just last season.
Meanwhile, Esson now has a total of 12 shutouts in her short career to move just one shutout performance behind former Red Raider Tina Rincon for the all-time lead.
The Red Raiders, now riding a five-match unbeaten streak, will head to San Antonio for the Big 12 Conference tournament as the No. 3 seed and will face No. 6 seed Kansas on Oct. 31. First kick for the match is scheduled for 2 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on the Big 12 Digital Network.

In addition to seeing people with a diagnosis with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), as hypnotherapists, it is common to have clients contact us for insomnia, stress, low tolerance to frustration, fears, phobias, trouble with focus and concentration, "feeling stuck", in relationships issues, etc.
The most common cause of PTSD is an event or series of events that make a person feel helpless. This condition became associated with soldiers in military combat, but any overwhelming life experience that feels unpredictable or uncontrollable can precipitate PTSD. It can affect those who personally experience a catastrophe, those who witness it (a witness to violence or is victim of violence) or people who "pick up the pieces" after a disaster. This can include emergency workers, and family and friends and family who support someone who lived through a trauma.
After a traumatic event, almost everyone experiences the loss of safety and trust. Some people report feeling, "crazy", disconnected and numb". It is common to have bad dreams, be fearful, and not be able to stop thinking about what happened. For most people these symptoms are short lived, and they gradually lift. It is not uncommon to have increased anxiety and emotional arousal, difficulty sleeping, irritability or outbursts of anger.
Other common symptoms are guilt, shame and self-blame, feeling mistrust/betrayal, flashbacks, distress when thinking about the event. There could be reactions to reminders -self blame,guilt, shame, pounding heart, rapid breathing, high blood pressure, alienation and isolation, always being on "red alert", being easily startled, substance abuse, alienation and isolation, flashbacks, intrusive, upsetting memories, suicidal ideation and the list goes on.
It is common for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder clients to feel that there is no hope that they will ever get better.
The sooner you see someone and can talk about it, the easier it is to overcome. It is only natural to want to avoid painful memories and feelings. You can't escape your emotions completely-they emerge under stress or whenever you let your guard down -trying to do so is exhausting. The avoidance will ultimately harm your relationships, your ability to function, and the quality of your life.
Avoid "Thinking errors" (i.e. "it was my fault" "I should have seen it coming" or "What if" etc. It's easy to get "stuck" in your head. "Thinking errors" take the form of self -blame, so just be mindful of that.
In time you will learn to defuse negative reactions and triggers and unpair the sights and sounds of the present with the trauma. and become full blown PTSD.
There are many variations to how individuals experience PTSD. Most symptoms develop within days following the event, but it can sometimes take weeks, months or even years to appear and become full blown PTSD.
Here is a list of some of the most common traumatic events that are associated with PTSD.
• War
• Natural disasters
• Car or plane crashes
• Terrorist
• Sudden death of a loved one
• Rape
• Kidnapping
• Assault
• Sexual or physical abuse
• Childhood abuse, neglect, or witnessing domestic violence
Hypnotherapists are often the first in line in helping those with PTSD.

Bjorn Lomborg, Danish statistician, economist, former Greenpeace official and author of the bestseller book The Skeptical Environmentalist, says that global climate change would have both good and bad impacts. He accepts that man contributes to global climate change, but that environmentalist attempts to stampede us into irrational and very costly climate policies is foolish.
Lomborg introduces the rational "climate skeptic" view in contradistinction to the hysterical and partisan green lies that have misled global climate policies. Lomborg's practical and contemporary reframing of the climate debate within economic boundaries is essential to prioritizing public policy, particularly in times of global economic stress.
This week's U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report predicts global climate change impacts, and follows the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report published in late 2013. Original IPCC reports by its director Rajendra Pachauri estimated that costs for global climate carbon controls would be 3% of GDP. Lomborg comments on the IPCC predictions in his recent Copenhagen Consensus Center research as follows:
• The new IPCC predictions show that the U.N. proposed necessary cutting of carbon emissions is going to cost up to 4% of GDP in 2030, 6% in 2050 and 11% in 2100;
• Ironically, if global governments do nothing to reduce carbon emissions, the damages caused by climate change will cost less than 2% of GDP in about 2070. Yet the proposed U.N. carbon cuts would cost more than 6% of GDP;
• Instead of continuing government subsidies for today's ineffective green technologies, we need to invest in innovation and research to get the technological breakthrough that will make green energy affordable on its own merit. Then we will have solved climate change.
Lomborg's Copenhagen Consensus Center worked with 28 of the world's top climate economists to research the cost and benefits of different climate policy actions. The expert panel, including 4 Nobel Laureates, came to the conclusion that investments in R&D for green energy would pay back 11 dollars for every dollar spent, while current policies focused on cutting climate carbon will only pay back 2 cents for every dollar spent.

clac.preparenormal.R {clac}
CLAC is a method for calling gains and losses in CGH array data. This function is to prepare normal references in CLAC(Cluster Along Chromosome) Analysis
clac.preparenormal.R(CANCER, NORMAL, Normal.Type, chromosome.number, nucleotide.position, windowsize=5, targetFDR=0.01, chromosomeOption=FALSE, centromere=NULL)
- data matrix. It's the result of a group of CGH experiments, which are the target disease arrays to analysis. Each column corresponds to one sample (one target array), and each row corresponds to one gene/clone. The (i, j) entry should be the log fluorescence ratio of the ith gene/clone in the jth sample. Missing value should be coded as either NA or 999.
- data matrix. It's also the result of a group of CGH experiment. But these results are from normal reference arrays. Again, each column corresponds to one sample, and each row corresponds to one gene/clone. Missing value should be coded as either NA or 999.
- Normal.Type
- a vector specifying the normal array type. Length should be the same as the column number of
NORMAL. Code 0 for normal reference arrays from the same gender hybridization, while 1 for arrays from opposite gender hybridization.
- chromosome.number
- numeric vector . Length should be the same as the row number of
NORMAL. It's the chromosome number of each gene/clone.
- nucleotide.position
- numeric vector. Length should be the same as the row number of
NORMAL. It's the nucleotide position of each gene/clone.
- windowsize
- numeric value, specifying the window size to carry out the average smooth.
- targetFDR
- numeric value between 0 and 1, specifying the desired fianl FDR for CLAC analysis.
- chromosomeOption
- a boolean variable. If False, the chromosome arms will be considered seperately. If true, two chormosome arms of one chromosome would be dealed together.
- centromere
- numeric vector specifying the centromere positions. If missing, the default centromere value of human genome will be used.
clac.preparenormal.R builds cluster trees on normal reference arrays, the result is reported to the next step of CLAC analysis.
A list with components
- normal.result
- An object containing the information about the normal reference arrays.

collapse term
S.P. Skinner <skinnersp <at> chem.leidenuniv.nl>
Hi All, I am attempting to perform some SA on a complex of two proteins, one has an elongated shape and the other is roughly spherical. If I do not include a collapse term, the two proteins end up inside each other and all restraints are thus violated and the VdW energy is huge. If I include a collapse term for the entire complex, the proteins remain far apart, as they are randomly placed at the beginning of the run. I have also try to separate the complex into three separate roughly spherical domains, to then calculate the Rgyr for each domain and then to include these in three separate collapse assign statements in old xplor language, when I do this the collapse term becomes NaN as does the gradient and the Epot and Ekin terms. How can I handle this sort of complex and get the proteins to move close together without getting too close. Do I need an Rgyr term, if so, what form should it take? In the SA run bonds, angles, impropers, VdW and PRE terms are all included in the XplorPot. Any ideas? Many Thanks and Kind Regards Simon Skinner -- -- Simon P Skinner Protein Chemistry Group Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Universiteit Leiden Phone: +31 71 527 6089 / Fax: +31 71 527 4349 E-mail : skinnersp <at> chem.leidenuniv.nl(Continue reading)

The concept of the mod is really simple, it is the same as other props mods in other games. The hiders can disguise as objects, and hide on the map (or they can even use seeker camouflage). The first player connecting to the server will be the seeker, and at the beginning of each further round the last hider of the previous round will be.
So what does this mod offer? A funny game-play, without cheaters and crying kids, where neither your FPS or your ping matters; Here you also have the time to do anything else while hiding, if you are not in the mood for chatting or flustering.
In addition, I'm really interested in players' feedback, so this mod is always being updated. Don't forget to contact me with any bug, idea, or translating application.
But certainly it's not all, here is a short list of the main features:
- You can choose from many models as a hider, which are different on every map to fit the environment!
- Some object can be edited. For example you can select, what items do you want to be placed on the shelf you are hiding with, and certainly their position too.
- You can earn new ranks, items and abilities. For example, from level 40, you can knife the seekers as a hider!
- Rank based player customization, which contains death effect, player model, music, weapon, and weapon painting!
- Many exciting challenges!
- You can resupply with care package.
- And much more!
Currently the two biggest servers are:
Haris' server: 22.214.171.124:1024
KB server: 188.8.131.52:29500
Did you know I have started to develop this mod more than 4 years ago, in 2011-06-07? Since then, I have got tons of help by regular players, and now I want to say thanks for everyone, who helped this mod reach what it has reached. You may not believe how much work is done in a simple mod like this by the community, like translating all the 379 strings per language, making the challenge icons, reporting and debugging billions of bugs, looking for exploitable spots, jumps, and much more... The mod has changed much from the beginnings, but now it has got many beautiful ratings, articles, reputations, tutorials, and everything a mod could ever want. We have also been in the top 100 ModDB mods multiple times out of the 24395, and we are always in the top few CoD4 mods! I could've never though that our ModDB profile will be more popular than DeathRun, RotU, or many more legendary mod, or that once a HNS server can run, which is basically never empty. Jericho and SeaNanners is still actively uploading HNS in-game videos, and we have plenty million views in total. I am proud that I can develop a mod, which brings fun in the life of so many players/watchers/supporters.
However, besides all my efforts, I have less time to work on it due to a full-time job and the university. In addition, we are currently thinking about creating a separate Prop Hunt game in UnrealEngine, and I hope there can be something more in the future, than just a plan. Certainly I won't forget this mod either, I have just dropped out a new version, which contains important fixes and some exciting improvements, but I'd be glad, if a (really) experienced modder could help in sometimes, so if you are one of them, and you have the inspiration to work on the mod, feel free to contact me! :)
Keep it up, don't stop reviewing, sharing, and playing the mod, it's not me who make it enjoyable, it's YOU ALL who are guiding me what to fix, improve and implement. I hope, together we can make the mod and the game live for at least 4 more years!
Thanks for all your support,

Everytime I try to join a hns server via one of the IPs above,my game always crashes. I already have this mod installed manually. Any suggestions?
What do you mean "crashes"? Can you connect to any other server?
What happened to the server, its been f**cked up for a couple of days now
Hey, Haris is creating a new server. It must be available soon :)
