Keth jumped down from his perch in the tree. He carried his MA5B assault rifle and 2 M-6 pistols. He wore his black and red crossed Mjolnir version VI armor. The Mjolnir project was created by Dr. Catherine Halsey. So far the project had created 6 versions. Keth ran across a field full of grunts. Grunts are part of the alien army named the Covenant. The grunts, who were unaware of a demon running at them, they didn't raise their guns until Keth was 5 meters from them. Keth stopped short of them. He had a little surprise planted beneath them. He pulled out a detonator and said "See you in hell." At this Keth pushed the trigger and ran away as fast as he could. The explosion of the land mines killed all of the grunts. Keth had set and primed all of the land mines earlier in the day. Keth ran into a few brutes and slowed to shoot them with his MA5B rifle. One brute kept coming until it reached him. Keth grabbed his knife and plunged it into the brute. The brute glared at him for a moment then fell to the ground. A jackal came up to him with a plasma rifle. Keth shot at the shields but they held. Keth grabbed a grenade and tossed it at the jackal. It stuck to him and exploded. The jackal died after a few rounds Keth's rifle. Keth checked his surroundings once more and again ran for the tree. Keth ran all the way to the tree and climbed into his perch. The perch contained a SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle, communication equipment, and ammo. He had a data crystal for his AI Spike. Spike was waiting and asked for ID and number. "Spartan-010, Keth." Spike asked him for his password and for the retinal scan. Keth typed on the key board spartans never die. Keth pulled off his helmet, he had brown hair cut short for the military limit. The scan was completed and Keth took up his SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle and checked his area for signs of enemies. Nothing came up on the scope but he checked his infrared scanner and saw 6 tall shapes. Keth smiled, he was going to enjoy this.
The elites walked up the hill, at the top sat a tree. The elite leader, Yuzock Kowmungie told his troops to spread out and take the demon as he was flanked. His scouts went toward the left, his rearguard took the demon's flank, and one of hid bodyguards took the right. His other bodyguard, Uvong stayed in front of Yuzock and together they silently walked toward the tree. Yuzock was surprised when they got to the tree, he had figure the demon would have shot them already. He took the luck and kept going. He was so close to the top he could taste it. Then Uvong stopped, Yuzock asked "What is wrong?" Uvong turned around and replied "it is too quiet, either our fellow Sangheili should be coming up or we should have a message why they haven't come." Yuzock checked his message display, the cold blue number 0 stood there staring back. He told Uvong to go and flank him as he waited for the signal he was in position. Uvong jumped down from the tree and slowly jogged to the other side. Yuzock waited for more than 15 minutes. It had been too long. Yuzock climbed over the edge and smelled blood. He held his gun aloft for fearing he was doomed to his brothers' fate. He looked around then looked up and found himself staring into the tube of a sniper rifle. Keth had placed sensors at the bottom of the tree. None of the elites had arrived at the same time, so Keth easily took the all out with the silencer on his sniper rifle. Yuzock looked down the barrel of the gun and snorted. At least he would go down fighting.
Keth sat back in his seat on the Falcon's Air waiting for the commander to summon him to the bridge. On the planet of Coral, Keth had beaten many covenant troops from invading for about 2 weeks. He was growing impatient. "Spartan-010 to the bridge please, Spartan-010 to the bridge" said the intercom. Keth jumped up and ran to the nearest staircase. As he walked, Keth thought about what he was having to do just to get back to his team. He thought about how killing all the covenant troops had been the easy part, now came the debriefing. Keth stopped at the top corridor and stepped inside the room. "Welcome to the bridge spartan" said a warm voice. Commander Fluff was a tall man with traces of red hair coming from his balding head. He had a rather chubby build and always had a great attitude. "Spartan-010, reporting as per your orders Sir" Keth reported. Fluff smiled he was always happy when Keth came onto the bridge. "At ease spartan." Keth took his at ease position and listened to his debriefing. "Your new assignment is on Earth." Fluff said. He wasn't smiling any more so meant something bad was happening. Keth was surprised, why send him to earth? John was protecting earth and the surrounding areas. Fluff then told Keth about how the UNSC was losing and the secret spartan 3 project. Keth took it all in and smiled, he knew that the UNSC would need more spartans eventually. "Spartan 4s are the issue now. Earth is taking anyone to be spartans. We have about 10,000 troops ready to sign up and about 1,500 troops in training" said Fluff. He was all business now. Keth had a surprised look on his face; he hadn't thought so many people would want to sign up. Fluff looked up from his roaming glance around the room. "The Falcon's Air is at your disposal like always." Keth went from his at ease position to attention. "With the commanders permission I would like to take the ship to earth." The crew looked at him with a look of pride and determination. They all needed a break and going home would be the perfect time to get some r and r. "It would be our pleasure to assist a fellow officer" Fluff said with a grin on his face. Keth gave a small grin back realizing that he had left out the last part of his mission. Lieutenant Keth are you ready for your final mission before rejoining your team?" Keth took off his helmet and replied. "Lieutenant Junior grade, Spartan-010, ready for duty."
MCPO Franklin Mendez ran further away from the building. If his spartans were to be the greatest warriors of all time they would have to work like warriors He stopped at the edge of the playground and gave the assignments to the spartans. He blew the whistle and watched them all take off. He then noticed a boy standing behind a tree. The boy looked fascinated by the playground; he also looked like he met some of the spartan expectations. Mendez walked over to the tree and said "Hi, I'm MCPO Franklin Mendez. What's your name?" "I…… iii…. I'mmm…… kkkketth" said the scared boy. "Well where are your parents? This is a military facility and children aren't really supposed to be here" Mendez said curious as to why Keth was here. "My mom was…… killed and … so I came for dad who's in the military" said Keth, who started tearing at the thought of his mother. Mendez said "Well Keth, I don't know who your dad is but you are welcome to be part of the kids." "Really??!!" said Keth, all enthusiastically. He looked like he had been given the greatest gift ever. "Yeah just stand behind me while the other kids finish the exercise." Mendez smiled, he knew Keth would catch up, but did he have what it took to be a spartan like the rest of the kids.
Keth followed the other children around, doing everything they did but he didn't flow into the crowd. One evening he lay in his bunk, when another kid came into the room. Keth knew that his name was Will. "Hi Keth, what are you doing in your bunk so early?" Will asked. Keth replied "I don't have anything to do but check my rifle or rest, which neither of them I can get right now." Will smiled "Come with me and my friends, we'll all get together and I'll introduce you to them." Keth smiled back. "Yeah that would be nice." So Will took Keth over to his bunk room and introduced Keth to his friends. "This is Daniel or 016" Will said. Daniel held out his hand. "It's nice to meet you Keth." "Thanks, its nice to meet you too" Keth replied. "Next is Zack or 017" said Will. Zack stood up and shook Keth's hand. "What's up? Oh and by the way catchy name" he asked. Keth answered "Not much and thanks." Will pointed to the black kid and said "This is Louis or 013." Louis had black corn rowed hair and was obviously not shy in the least. "What's up brother?" said Louis while shaking Keth's hand. "Not much brother." Keth answered back. The last person stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Kiersten, 018." She said grasping Keth's hand. Keth felt a slight tingle in his hand, he didn't know if it was Kiersten or his hand from all the shaking. "A pleasure, Kiersten." Keth replied. Keth had never met so many people but he was glad that he had them as friends.
Keth was in the sniping range. He had his SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle with plenty of ammo laid out next to him. CRACK. He finished the course and waited for his scores. Kiersten and Daniel came in looking like they had just come from the mess hall. "Why are you practicing Keth? Your already one of the best snipers" Daniel said. Kiersten nodded her head in agreement. "Well, I wasn't hungry and Linda is better." Keth replied. Daniel frowned "Yeah sure but lets see your score." Then the score came up on the screen above their heads. It read:
Spartan-010 Keth
Shots:50 Tagets:50 Kills:50 Hits: 40 head shots, 1 arm shot Arm shot number 15
"DANG IT! Keth yelled. Daniel looked at him and said. "Don't beat yourself up about it. Linda probably couldn't have done better." Kiersten said quietly "Keth, its okay. This just means you'll do better next time. I have faith in you." She smiled and spoke again. "Come on now both of you, we can practice with knives tomorrow." Keth looked at Daniel and then Kiersten and smiled. He couldn't have gotten any better friends.
The next day after all of the activities of training and boot camp. Keth, Daniel, and Kiersten headed down to the throwing range. Before they got there they stopped by the barracks, took showers, and got changed into new clothes. They began again but were stopped by some ODST's. They stood and stared at them. Keth continued and found the officer on duty and got permission to use the knives and targets in one of the practice rooms. Daniel started, he got a 45 out of 55. Kiersten got all of them, a perfect score like always. Keth stood on the platform and threw his knives, he got a 51 out of 55. All of them happy with the scores, together they left for the practice range for rifle work. Again they checked in and found Zack already practicing. Not disturbing him they watched, Zack was very relaxed and calm. He finished with his pistol and slotted another clip into the empty slot. He noticed they group and beckoned them in. "Hey guys, you come to practice?" Zack immediately asked. Kiersten responded first. "Yeah Zack, do you have the room?" Zack smiled "Yeah grab you weapons and join in." Kiersten grabbed a MA5B assault rifle, Daniel grabbed a SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle, and Keth grabbed an M-6 pistol. An hour later they finished and checked the scores.
017, Zack hits 600 out of 650 016, Daniel hits 300out of 314 018, Kiersten hits 435 out of 440 010, Keth hits 330 out of 331
"Okay Keth you win" Zack said. He was ticked, Keth had out done him again. "I'll get you back eventually." He laughed, and then they all laughed. "Time we head back to barracks." Daniel said. Zack grinned ferociously. "Bet I can get back before you do." "You're on. Mark!" Daniel said. Together zack and Daniel took off toward barracks. Keth and Kiersten walked slowly and gave each other tips on how to improve. "So yeah, maybe you could release quicker or something." Keth told Kiersten. She smiled and said "Keth, you won so here's your prize." She did something Keth would never forget in his life. She stopped and for a moment Keth was scared, but Kiersten smiled and he felt like it was all good. She leaned up and kissed him. He was so surprised he almost fell over when she did it. He thought to himself, Wow, this is awesome. I never would have thought Kiersten liked me…... Man I hope this continues forever. They broke up and Keth began smiling, he knew this would be an awesome relationship.
Next day again after training the four spartans practiced again but different weapons. The days turned to weeks and weeks into months. Mendez took the spartans to a remote facility because they had beaten everything at the main facility. Keth and Kiersten grew close over the time; they then became the inseparable pair. Together with Daniel and Zack they became a squad. They became Black Team because later Louis joined them and he had the humor to name the squad Black team. Black team became a special squad because each member was skilled in different areas or was well balanced in all. Louis was a great scout; he could lead the team anywhere whether it was good or better than good. Zack was skilled with missiles: he could hit targets that were out of range of his launcher. Daniel become more skilled with the sniper: Keth knew to get out of his way in the practice range because he was good. Keth and Kiersten balanced out evenly. Keth had the extremes in sniping, knife throwing, and leading. Kiersten had a talent with bombs, knives, and missiles. As years went by the group grew very close, inseparable. When John and his team went to Eridanus system, Keth ahd led his team to many victories. The day came when the spartans retrieved their MJOLNIR armor, Keth and Black team were not there because of a small mission that ONI had needed fulfilling. When the extra suits were brought to Reach, Black team was allowed to try on and explore the armor. Black team had the mobility, the skill, and the teamwork to accomplish anything.
"MOVE Black Team!!" Keth yelled over his com. "Chief, we have one missile left and not enough ammo to beat the gun." Black-four said over the team frequency. Keth thought it over, they had a SPNKr missile, 2 SRS99C-S2 sniper rifles, 4 MA5B assault rifle, 2 M-6 pistols, and 15 frag and concussion grenades. This wouldn't be easy. Black team's mission had been to take out a super gun of the Covenant's and then more surprises came along. A company of grunts and jackals had passed be Black team, one of the rear guards had spotted Black-four and so together Black team had taken them out. It had been a big disadvantage. Keth didn't like it, they were pinned in a canyon and a squad of jackals had alerted security to be on guard. Keth had personally shot the jackals but it wasn't enough. Now Black- 3, 4, and 5 were on the other side of the canyon taking enemy fire. "Black-2, you're with me. We're going to take out that gun" Keth said smiling. He always had a backup, so he completed each mission. This mission's backup was C-12. They both ran up the hill side, evading fire and killing the enemies as they got in his way. Black-2 got to the top first and started securing the area. Keth came up and found Black-2 fighting elite. He brought up his MA5B and shot the elite in the head. Black-2 gave him a nod and they continued securing the area. Together they headed inside the weapon and placed the C-12 around important devices. Keth ran outside the command module with Black-2 on his heals. "Chief we have a snag" Black-3 reported. Keth didn't like snags; it meant something was getting between him and his mission. Keth said over the com "What's the snag?" "Sir, we have civilians, about 5. What are your orders sir?" Black-3 asked. Keth didn't like this. Over half his team was taking fire and they had to worry about civilians. "Black-3, protect the civvies. Black-2 and I will complete the mission. You're in charge" Keth said. "Roger Chief, over and out" Black-3 said cutting off from the frequency. Black-2 looked at him and said on the com "We're on our own. Right?" "Yeah. Let's get a move on. The Covenant won't wait forever" as he said this Keth began running down the hill again. He pulled out the detonator and pushed it. Black-2 jumped down the hill in front of him. She found a tree and pulled Keth behind it. Boom. After all of the debris had fallen Keth looked out at the remains of the super weapon. Nothing but smoke and ashes were left. Keth pulled off his helmet. Black-2 pulled off hers as well. Black-2 or Kiersten, had her blond hair pulled into a ponytail. A little longer than regulations but since she always wore her armor she never got caught. "Mission accomplished?" she asked. "Mission accomplished" said Keth as he pulled her in for a kiss.
Back at the RV point Black-3 or Daniel, had pulled the civvies together with Black-4 (Zack) and Black-5 (Louis), to the RV point. Keth and Kiersten had covered the trails and taken out squads trying to find the people responsible for the destroyed weapon. Daniel saluted Keth and continued packing up. Black team walked onto the Pelican. Keth looked back. Yep, mission accomplished.
"Congratulations Keth, another successful mission" said Fluff. Fluff was the commander of the Falcon's Air, which took Black team on most of their mission if it wasn't out on assignment. "Thank you commander" said Keth. His team had just taken another Covenant vessel and together with the engineers, they would bring it to earth and continue upgrading ships and technology. "Well we should get under way. All stations report…." Fluff went on with his routine check and started the engines. "Commander, we have a transmission coming through… its from Harvest!' said the Lieutenant from the com station. "Put it on screen, Lieutenant" Fluff ordered. On the screen came a civilian, he looked scared. "Commander of UNSC ship, please help us, we are under Covenant attack!.... Ah!!!!" screamed the civilian. In the background an Elite stepped through the doorway and pulled his energy sword out. The civilian shut down the camera and the screen went blank. "Sir we have to…" started the Lieutenant at the Com station. "I know Lieutenant but we have very valuable information and we don't have enough time to get a company together and help them." Replied Fluff, knowing that the Lieutenant would start an argument. 'Sir Permission to speak?" said Keth. "Granted Master Chief" replied Fluff. "Sir, if you can get my spartans a pelican, we'll go and help Harvest" suggested Keth. Fluff smiled "Get your team ready Master Chief. Your going down in 5."
The pelican touched down and Black team ran out. Keth had his sniper rifle, his lucky knife, and a M-6 pistol. Black-2 had a MA5B rifle, SPNKr missile, and a knife. Black-3 had a SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle and a MA5B rifle. Black-4 had 2 SPNKr missiles and a MA5B. Black-5 had a MA5B rifle and 2 SMG's. "Black-5 point, Black-3 rear. Let's go" Keth said over the team frequency. This was just like a routine practice, just for a higher purpose. "Chief, do we have special assignments on this Op?" Black-4 asked over the speaker. "You and Black-2 will take out Wraiths and Banshees. Black-3, Black-5, and I will take the civvies to a protected area, until Black-2 and you get back to the zone. We then call for extraction and beat any Covenant butts that get in the way. Black-2, you're in charge. Save the SPNKr if you can" Keth said. Black-4 returned a green acknowledgment light. Keth sighed. He didn't like splitting his team apart. But this wasn't an ONI mission, this was as close to being a friendly neighbor as it could get. "Okay Black-3 and 5, let's get our plan together….."
"All right. Everyone knows the plan, right?" Keth asked. He got four green acknowledgement lights and so he prepped for his run. "Black-5 on my mark… MARK!" Keth ordered. Black-5 ran out into the road and attracted the attention of the Jackals. He ran back down the road, past the position of Black team. Black-3 then began his run and attracted the attention of the Brutes. Keth watched him run down the other way and took off. Plasma fire was flying everywhere, he had to go faster. He gave all his energy into the run and ran into the houses, knocking down the wall as he smashed into it. Keth got up from his fallen position and checked out the area he had smashed. No one was in this room so he moved into the next. He found the group of civvies in a corner. Two were standing holding weapons, the rest were sitting behind them. Some were injured but the seemed steady enough to be rescued. "I'm keth, from the UNSC. I'm here to assist" Keth said. At that moment Black-3 and Black-5 stepped in from the knocked down wall. "Here we are Chief" said Black-5. "All right stage 2. You copy Black-2?" Keth asked over the team frequency. "Copy that sir. Stage 2 initiated. Go Black-4!" Black-2 replied. Keth heard the sound of missiles and assault rifle firing and began evacuating the civvies. "Black-5, go cover fire. Black-3, help me with the wounded." Keth ordered. Black-5 stepped out pulling his MA5B rifle as he went. Black-3 picked up two of the three most injured people and backed towards the wall. Keth picked up the last wounded and said over his speaker "All right everyone we will be running for a while so stay with me." The civvies began running out the wall and across the field. Black-5 ran in front with Black-3 in the middle. The civvies stayed right beside them trying to keep up. Keth looked around; this was the part of the plan where Black-2 and Black-4 met up with them. He saw a shape of a human fall to the ground. "Black-5, come back and take this civvie, I've got to go help Black-2 and Black-4!" Black-5 stopped and gestured for the civvies to continue. He ran back and scooped the civvie off his back, he also handed him his MA5B. "You'll need it more than I will." Keth ran for the shape. He jumped dodging bullets and plasma. Came up out of a tucked roll and sprinted father. He slid the last feet to the shape. It was Black-2. her armor was smoldering hot and darkened more than the original black color. He pulled her to the side of the road and pulled off her helmet. Her face was red with exhaustion and black and blue from what looked like a grenade explosion. "Are you okay?" Keth asked. She smiled and said "better than you'd think" she then grimaced as pain came upon her. "Where is Zack?" Keth also asked. "he's back a little farther. I couldn't drag him any longer." Kiersten told him. "Black-3, come pick up Black-2 at this location" Keth said activating a blue triangle NAV marker. "Copy that Chief. Everything okay?" Black-3 asked. "Yeah, we just left them out too long" Keth replied, smiling. "Copy that" Black-3 said. "All right, Kiersten stay here. Not that you're going anywhere" Keth told Black-2. She smiled. Keth prepped himself for the run to Blac-4. He signaled Black-3 to run to the marker as soon as he ran to Black-4. Keth ran. He saw thousands of banshees and plenty of Covenant aliens. He sprinted faster. He was too close. All of a sudden Keth was flying. Apparently he had a Banshee on his tail. He looked back and saw it. He pulled his sniper rifle out and shot the pilot. The banshee headed straight for him. At the last second he jumped into the cockpit and pulled the ship up. He looked down; he really had pulled that one too close. There were scorches from where the ship had almost crashed. "Chief…. You're over Zack… NOW." Kiersten said. Keth braked the banshee and landed near the limp body in the grass. Black-2 had been smart in covering Black-4. Zack was also smoking and his black suit was blacker. Zack held a SPNKr missile and a knife. "Zack… you hear me?" Keth asked him. "Loud and… umm clear" he replied. "What hurts?" Keth asked. "Nothing but my chest." Zack replied. Keth couldn't check his chest here but he had to do something. "All right, I'm going to give you a sleep shot and you'll wake up on the Falcon." Keth told him. "Yes sir, see you on the other side." Zack said. Keth gave Zack the shot and Zack was out. "All right. Black-3, do you have Black-2?" Keth asked on the team frequency. "Yes chief, we're on the pelican. Do you need cover fire or a pick up sir?" Black-3 asked. "I'll take both but I have a gift for the Covenant first."
"Pelican incoming Chief." Black-3 reported. "Okay, let's do this." Keth replied. He saw the pelican and got Zack on his shoulder. The pelican landed and Keth lifted Zack onto it. Keth turned around and jumped into the captured banshee. He took off toward the army of Covenant with a NOVA bombs. The pelican flew right beside him shooting its heavy machinegun towards the army. Keth smiled, here was the fun part. He turned to the bombs and armed them. Taking the autopilot off, he dropped the banshee straight into a spiral dive. 500 meters from the ground going at the maximum speed he jumped from the banshee and grabbed the outside hull of the pelican. Black-3 must have seen him grab on because the pelican swerved around and began flying faster and away. Keth was pulled inside the pelican. He then heard and extremely satisfying boom in the background. The civvies were strapped into the seats. Kiersten and Zack were in the medical bay. One of the civvies must have been a doctor because he was busy trying to heal them. Keth climbed into the cockpit, Black-5 stood up and allowed Keth to sit in the co-pilots chair. Black-3 turned and said "Mission accomplished." Over the com unit Keth heard Fluff shouting stuff at the spartans. Keth smiled. Objective acquired and mission accomplished.
"Spartans 010, 018, and 016. To the briefing room please" said the intercom. Keth, Kiersten, and Daniel walked to the briefing room. "Spartans 010, 018, and 016 reporting as ordered, sir" Admiral Luke La-Band was standing near the window gazing at the stars. "At ease spartans" he said. The spartans sat as one. "Spartans, your next assignment it to take over the Covenant's Eagle. It is one of the few flagships" he said. Keth thought it over; he had taken over plenty of covenant vessels but not a flagship. "Sir what is our rendezvous point?" Keth asked. "Your rv is a Halo. This is classified as Zulu Halo. You will land and act as the covenant until you reach the core. When your reach the core you will extract as much information as 3 AI, who will be specifically assigned to the information. You will have another AI to help your mission" said the Admiral. "Sir we're ready to tale the mission" said Keth. "Good Master Chief Petty Officer" replied La-Bang. Keth smiled, he had a new rank and a new mission, this would be interesting.
"All spartans assemble!" Keth yelled. Black team ran into the hangar bay and made a line. They all wore the traditional Black team MJOLNIR suit. The suit color was black with a red cross on the left shoulder. "Ready for duty Chief" Black-2 said. "Okay Black-2 what is your assignment when we get over to the Eagle?" Keth asked. "Sir, I give a head count to you" Black-2 responded. "Good, and Black-3, 4, and 5?" Keth asked. Black-3 responded "Sir, we take cover and kill and covenant in the way, except for engineers." "Good we're ready. Everyone onto the pelican." Black team boarded the pelican. The pelican, now named Striking Time, was loaded with weapons, biofoam, and comm. Equipment. Keth made sure everyone was in before he himself climbed aboard. Inside were the weapons locker, health station, and seats. The cockpit held all the control plus a power station for an AI. Spike, Keth's AI, came up. Spike was an interesting AI, he was a "smart" AI but he preferred to be alone to himself. "Are you ready Keth?" he asked. "Let's get this show on the road" Keth replied. "All hands off-deck, start engines" Keth ordered. Striking Time lifted odd the hangar bay floor and headed out of Falcon's Air. "Striking Time, this is Falcon's Air, you are clear for take off and good luck." Fluff said over the comm. "Here we go spartans, prepare for boarding" Keth said. "Falcon's Air, How close is the Eagle?" Keth asked. "Striking Time, we have ten minutes until Eagle comes out of slipspace" Fluff replied. "Okay, spartans prep yourselves; we're going in hot and fast. Black-3 take engines to 10%" Keth ordered. "Yes sir, engines at 10 percent" Black-3 responded. "Striking Time, this is Admiral La-Bang, we will hit the engines and shields so that you can get into their hull" said the Admiral. "Copy that Admiral" Keth responded. "Sir, do we use SPNKr's on this rapid entry?" asked Black-4. "That's a negative we use shredder rounds and frags" Keth told him. Keth sat back, eight minutes but being battle ready was never something you could get rid of. "Sir, urgent. We miscalculated their slipspace transition. Their here!" yelled Black-3. Keth looked out the view screen and saw a covenant flagship. "Falcon's Air, Eagle is here. Continue as planned. Take Power from your engines to power the MAC gun" Keth said. "Copy that, taking fire, shields now!" Keth heard Fluff yell. "Olay Black-3, engines to 120 percent. I want us in that hangar bay 10 seconds ago" Keth ordered. "Yes sir, we can hold 120% for 3 minutes with power from shields" said Black-3. "Let's do it" Keth said. The ship went fast and pulled into the open hangar away from flying plasma. "Out now! Shredder rounds." Keth ordered. Black-5 and Black-4 went out into the bay taking out a bunch of jackals. Black-2 and Black-3 went right as Black-4 and Black-5 went right. Keth ran out and continued straight through the hangar. "Chief, we're done here" Black-2 reported. "Chief we're done too" Black-4 reported. "Okay we have com?" Keth asked. "Yes sir, we have active com" said Black-3. "Okay, get me a signal and contact Falcon's Air. We need to move silently." Keth ordered. "This is Spartan-010, Falcon's Air, if you are receiving, ceasefire. Also move away from the battle. We are in." Keth said. The flagship stopped all noise. "Okay, Black-3, Black-4, and Black-5, find the hull crack. Black-2 and I will patch it up" Keth ordered. Black-3 nodded and said "Sir it's this way." The team followed Daniel to the open hole. "Okay Black-2, you're out first" Keth said. Black-2 jumped out into space with keth right behind her. "Sir, there aren't any handholds. What do you want?" Black-2 asked. "Increase magnetic polarity inside your suit. You'll be able to move better with it increased" Keth told her. "Black-3, make sure we don't become targets" Keth said. His reply was a bunch of battle rifle fire. "Black-2, plug it up then get inside" Keth ordered. Black-2 brought out the sealers and started pulling the hole back together. When it was almost done she turned to Keth. "Okay all set to finish it inside" She turned back and slid her body through. Keth was about to put his feet through when an explosion near him sent him flying downward. "What happened?" keth asked over the TEAMCOM. He got nothing. He grabbed the edge of the hangar bay. "Team, what happened?" he asked again. Keth looked upwards and saw the bridge, turning his head he saw the engines and a small plasma canon pointed at him. That was what had happened, unfortunately, it was already warming up for another round. Keth had to move fast. He tried to swing toward another position but it was useless. The plasma canon fired and keth was shot into space without any help.
Keth woke up. He was inside a cryotube. He sorted himself out after opening the tube. In a second he remembered. He moved to a window. He saw space. "Their not there." Fluff said. Keth turned around to see the man looking at the floor. "Where is my team?" Keth asked. "The flagship had a couple Brutes onboard. When your team blew in, the Brutes went silent. Black-2 and you went out and they attacked. The canon blew you away and the flagship opened a slipspace portal and went" Fluff told him. 'We lost com signal and came closer. We saw you floating in space." Fluff looked down even more. "Have you heard anything?" Keth asked him. His hope dying. "Actually we got a response. They were captured but they managed to escape and eventually take over the ship. By that time though they were at the Zulu Halo. The engines were destroyed in the process of taking over so they can't come back." Fluff looked even more downhearted. "What's wrong?" Keth asked, wanting to know the whole truth. "UNSC can't spare any ships to take you to the halo. They have plenty of available people but they can't be spared. There is no way of getting to your team." Keth almost fell. He had no way to get to his team, no way of knowing what was happening, nor even communicate with them. "Well then. What does the UNSC have planned for me to do? I'm sure they can use a spartan somewhere in this war. I imagine that they need me somewhere am I correct?" Keth asked trying to hold himself up. "They have issued orders for you to go to planets that have seen covenant activity. These orders will last for about 2-3 months. I have a list of planets that have seen if not have been overwhelmed by covenant. After this series of missions they will be able to spare a ship if not make another ship for you to go. We have been ordered to take you to those planets." Keth had hope again. He would be able to protect lives and live his job. "Let's get going then. My team needs me."

AFTER NORIEGA; Peru and U.S. Resume Their Anti-Drug Effort
Published: December 28, 1989
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27— Peru has decided to resume anti-drug operations with the United States, a week after it halted the effort to protest the American invasion of Panama, the Justice Department said today.
David Runkel, a department spokesman, said the ''reconstituted joint efforts in Peru'' between the Drug Enforcement Administration and Peru began on Tuesday. The Peruvian Embassy said operations resumed because ''the fight against drugs is so important.''
The anti-drug effort ceased after the American invasion on Dec. 20. Peruvian officials called the invasion an ''outrage against Latin America.'' At the time, President Alan Garcia of Peru said he would boycott the Feb. 15 summit meeting on drugs, to be held in Colombia. President Bush plans to attend.

Heads up! Father's Day is coming up June 19th. My dad is so hard to shop for, whether it's a birthday, Christmas, or Father's Day, if we ever ask him what kind of gift he'd like, his answer is that he doesn't need anything. So, this year I'm doing a few simple, personalized gifts that I know he'll love, that I made with Snapfish.
For my dad's Father's Day gift, I chose a few different types of personalized items from Snapfish that I knew he would enjoy and also get some use out of. I made him a canvas photo of me and Omied from our wedding day, and a handful of custom magnets with family photos and some shots from his favorite places (Maui, Kauai and Carmel). I also made him a custom coffee mug with a photo that he shot of a whale breaching, since he absolutely loves whales and going out whale watching.
I think my dad will love these little gifts, since they reflect his fun-loving nature and his love for the outdoors, nature, and his family. My dad has always had a sense of adventure and I love that his Father's Day gifts show that. Have you figured out what you're getting your dad?

Is Black Friday Really Beneficial to Retailers?
November 2015 - Black Friday is only two weeks away. Known in the industry as the biggest shopping day of the year, it is seen to be the day that really kick-starts the Christmas shopping season. But after the frenzy that was Black Friday 2014, is it really beneficial to retailers?
This year Asda have confirmed their plans to step away from Black Friday deals after the promotional commotion in its stores last year failed to deliver profitable sales. Similarly, recent research by Blue Yonder revealed that three quarters of shoppers had a bad experience during last year's chaos and that retailers need to plan carefully for the upcoming sales bonanza.
Based on these figures, retailers need to recognise that Black Friday is more than just discounting products - it is a huge in-bound opportunity which can create longer term customer loyalty.
Rather than just using it as a chance to shift as much stock as possible, which didn't in fact generate the desired positive experience, retailers should start looking at providing customers with tailored services or offer additional points or discounts as part of a loyalty scheme. For example, as opposed to just slashing prices, when Black Friday comes, retailers could offer triple points on the day when consumers sign up to their loyalty scheme.
Cutting prices to induce consumers is not a good tactic for businesses that pride themselves on the value of their products. Being viewed as being cheaper, even for a short period, will hurt the long-term brand value and reel in fickle customers who won't return if they spot a better bargain in the future. Dropping prices can also plant a seed of doubt and accrue distrust over time as customers may start to suspect they have overpaid previously.
Providing customers with a service or a promotion that has a higher perceived value than simply taking 10 per cent off a product is something that can benefit both consumers and retailers in the long term – and potentially evolve the excitement that surrounded Black Friday 2014.

Okay, so we know airplane hangars aren't the kind of unused space you're *most* likely to have lying around. But we appreciated this shoutout from Geekadelphia today:
Let's say you own an airplane hanger and you just don't know what to do with it. (Of course why you would have an airplane hanger in Philadelphia is beyond me, but I digress…) You've tried multiple times to rent it out, lease it, hell, you even tried to convince people to have a prom in it one time to no avail. What to do? Read more
ShareMySpace: the answer to underutilized space! Not just airplane hangars, of course, but neglected second floors, patios, offices, and retail spaces.
Like we've mentioned here before, there are 40,000 completely vacant properties in Philadelphia alone — and a whole lot more that are underused. It's time to get creative with making that space shareable, bookable…making it work for our cities and communities. And that's a big part of what we're here for.

Cynical BBC uses Cenotaph dead to make Top Gear viral
The BBC says it will not broadcast footage of Top Gear presenter Matt LeBlanc turning doughnuts around The Cenotaph on London's Whitehall. Having leaked the event – one that took weeks to plan – to the Press, dear old Aunty says it was a bad idea and in poor taste.
Says the "mortified" Beeb:
Top Gear has been on location around central London over the past few days. Ahead of filming, the production team worked closely with the Metropolitan Police Film Unit and the Special Events Unit of Westminster Council. This was a large-scale, complex shoot, prepared over a period of four months, which required numerous road closures, health and safety regulations to be in place, and also included full disclosure to local residents, including

No, you do not need a PayPal account. We accept all major credit cards. Credit card processing is handled through PayPal, so you will need to click the "Proceed to PayPal" button to complete your order.
We typically ship using UPS Ground. Orders usually ship the same day and arrive to your doorstep in 2-3 business days for non-custom, in-stock items.
Yes! Contact us directly and let us know what you are looking for. We have a minimum order of 24 kg and $75 fee for each production run.
Yes! Contact us to let us know what you want. We can accommodate up to 30 kg in bulk filament.
Almost 99% of 3.0mm filament sold today is actually 2.85mm. There are very few printers that will print true 3.0mm filament but all printers that say they print "3.0mm" will print 2.85mm. It is common in the community to call 2.85mm filament 3.0mm, but we decided to make it crystal clear just what size filament you are purchasing.
Our filaments ship in a vacuumed sealed bag with a measured amount of desiccant. It's best to leave the material in the original packaging until you are ready to use. At first use and in between uses, place spool in a zip closure bag to an airtight container with the desiccant packet(s) to ensure longevity.
Our filament is guaranteed to print like new for one year from the purchase date while still sealed in original, unopened packaging. Once opened, it is all about the environment and storage protocol on your end. In humidity-controlled settings, the life span can be years. In the open air of a rainforest, you may only be looking at hours. Material storage is critical to consistent, high quality prints.

Returns will not be accepted without a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
Please call 919-776-6925 Mon. thru Fri. – 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST/EDT
Product must be received within 30 days from the RMA issue date and must reference the RMA number and the original invoice number.
Each of our materials is labeled with a temperature range, but the exact right temperature is dependent on the environment and on the printer. Your best option is to start with our recommendations and fine-tune for optimal results.
There are three places to look if you are having issues creating a quality print: The printer, the software (or design), and, of course, the material. If you have eliminated the printer and software (or design) as the source of your problems and believe it to be our materials please contact us for technical support.

The Use of Non-OEM Supplies Does Not Void Your 3D Printer Warranty!
Federal law guarantees you are free to use the supplies of your choice for your printer without worrying about voiding the warranty.
The MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1975 (15 USC 2301) prohibits a printer manufacturer from conditioning the warranty on the use of a particular brand of supplies. The applicable provision of the Act states: "No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's
using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than [an]article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name."
You are free to use whatever brand of supplies you believe best suits your 3D printing needs without fear of having the OEM's warranty voided. However, if the non-OEM supplies you choose damages the 3D printer, then the OEM could legally refuse to repair the 3D printer pursuant to the warranty if the OEM can establish the damage was specifically caused by the non-OEM supplies.

"One thing I ask of the LORD,
This is what I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
And to seek him in his temple."
Psalm 27:4 (NIV)
King David tells us a lot in these half dozen lines. He regularly asks God to allow him to fix his eyes on the Lord's beauty and to approach God in His throne room. The shepherd king gives us in the 21st Century some guidelines to follow as we learn to grow in the Lord.
Seek Have you ever lost something precious to you, a ring or another piece of jewelry? When I lost a ring I deemed a mother's ring. Its front was fashioned to look like the Robert Indiana sculpture, LOVE. In the letter "O," it had my son's birthstone in it. I retraced my footsteps in our area; I posted "lost" notices at work about it. I wanted to find that ring because of what it represented.
Sometimes, we have to spend quantity time in prayer in order to receive God's answers. A friend once said she had to pray about some needs for 30 days before she would receive an answer. But she was one of the most prayed-up people I have known.
Dwell, simply stated means "live" but it also seems to have a deeper meaning. As I see it, if a person dwells in a place, he or she is living there for quite a few years. David asks to live in God's house all the days allotted to him. (See also Psalm 23:6)
Gaze to gaze means to look for an extended time. When I am in deep thought, Hubby will notice me staring and ask, "What are you looking at?" Do you remember playing the game where you would stare at someone until one of you blinked?
Beauty God's beauty has been called His Glory, or His Splendor. It is all around us. We anticipate the beauty of His creation each year as we look forward to the change of seasons. When we moved into our house, at the end of one October, there sat a lilac bush just outside our back door. A late frost got the buds that next spring. I had to wait for 18 months to discover the Lilac bush was a White Lilac. To me, it was the most beautiful bush I had ever seen. The fact that my bush sprouted white flowers was a surprise. I believe that was part of its beauty.
Seek Let us search for what God wants us to have for our lives. Just as we look for lost items, let us look at where we are and where we want to be in Him.

Posted by Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson
The Chicago Bears paid a huge ransom to get themselves an ultra-talented, big-armed quarterback in Jay Cutler. This is a guy who can make every throw in the playbook and create the velocity to pierce the elements at Soldier Field. Chicago also invested in veteran offensive linemen such as Orlando Pace to enhance the running game and to keep Cutler upright. But what did the Bears do to improve a very mediocre group of wide receivers from a year ago? Not very much.
The most interesting -- and electric -- member of Chicago's receiver corps is clearly Devin Hester. Hester was basically a non-position player coming out of the University of Miami and while he remains very much a work in progress as a wide receiver, he has steadily improved and showed glimpses last year of developing into an extremely dangerous offensive playmaker. He needs to become more consistent on a week-to-week basis, but few are as lethal with the ball in his hands. Personally, I like what I saw last year from Hester and he could really be primed to take the next step with Cutler behind center.
The Bears pretty much know what they have in incumbents Brandon Lloyd and Rashied Davis. They combined for 61 receptions and four receiving touchdowns. To me, this is pretty much what we can expect this season as well. If these two are the Bears' third and fourth wide receivers, they will be in decent shape, but neither is what you want in a starter.
Chicago also has two very young wideouts of interest in Earl Bennett (Cutler's former teammate at Vanderbilt) and this year's draft pick, Juaquin Iglesias. Bennett did little last year as a rookie, but was extremely productive in the Southeastern Conference. Both players have fine possession skills and there should be hope that one or both can become a suitable intermediate target as soon as this year.
While the wide receiver position is foggy right now, Chicago does have a few excellent peripheral pass-catchers in Matt Forte, Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark to supplement what is required from their wideouts. Olsen in particular could be primed for a breakout season with the arrival of Cutler.
The arrival of Cutler should make those around him better. But still, I see this football team as a one go-to wide receiver away from being among the best teams in the league. That final piece may have to wait until next year.

If you plan on going outside of Taipei there are a lot of buses and trains. The trains are slower and cheaper and the railway network includes the western, eastern northern and southern lines.
The island-wide railway network, including the western line, the eastern line, the north link line, and the south link line, provides convenient travel in a number of train classes: economy, Fu-Hsing, Chu-Kuang and Tze-Chiang. Travels can choose the class of train they want according to their schedule and budget. small narrow-gauge trains operate on (mainly tourist) branch lines: Alishan, Jiji, Pingxi, and Neiwan. These trains give visitors a chance to see the caried scenery of Taiwan close-up as they travel around the island.
It is especially difficult to get the train tickets during long holiday periods, so reserving tickets 14 days before departure, by phone or by website, is strongly recommended.

|Kid Cookie
Real Name
Richard Cookie Tanner
Kid Cookie, Captain Cookie Cutter
Independent (in his youth) The Pineapple Cake (captain of as an adult)
Single digits
Someone decided they'd be a wiseguy and post a thread on /co/ saying they were /ck/ and pregnant, with /co/ being the father. Whoever that was forgot where they were since /co/ rolled with it and created a son.
On April 1st, 2017, the April Fools Day event merged several boards together, two such boards were /co/ and /ck/ to make /cock/ - Comics & Cartoons & Cooking. So for at least one day, he was also a board-tan.
He wears an apron by day while helping his mom, Be/ck/y, in her restaurant, but at night he turns his apron around into a cape and fights crime... but the crime is just things like stopping people from putting mayo and peanut butter side by side between two pieces of toast, and then slapping on anchovies liberally.
One time, when his father brought him to the J/co/ HQ, Cookie met and befriended Old General Witch Doctor after everyone he asked told him they didn't know anything about the old man. He just walked right up and started talking to him. The old general taught Cookie how to build traps, training him to be a trap master over the years.
/co/nrad won't let him be his sidekick until sidekicks stop dropping like flies.
After Tat had broken into the /co/ck/ household one too many times, Cookie developed an alter ego to drive her off. Calling himself Cookie Cutter, he gave Tat the full Home Alone treatment until she decided to go crash at someone else's house.
Finding babysitters for Cookie has proven to be a challenge as most people come under prepared or turn out to be various forms of monsters/demons whom Cookie defeats using Tom & Jerry antics.
- Tat - Home Alone was reenacted again. She refuses to babysit anymore citing it as worse than covering a story on the front lines of a war.
- /co/lette - Cookie loves it when she comes over, but it gets him so hyper that he ends up exhausting /co/lette within 10 minutes.
- Colby - Cookie was initially intimidated by her height and lack of social skills which lead to cringe worthy inducing awkward silences, but they eventually found some common ground over the detective work Colby and /co/nrad do.
- /d/emona - Surprisingly a very good babysitter as /d/ has rules against doing that kind of stuff with kids. They watched Disney movies until Cookie fell asleep on /d/emona's lap.
- Marley - She brought her superhero costume and they had a blast together.
- Agnes - She's neigh impossible to anger, but rarely available due to her prior obligations, but when she does babysit Cookie, she sometimes brings Chaptor with her. Best. Babysitter. Ever.
He hasn't shown any signs of developing any superpowers (yet), but he's somewhat skilled at cooking and is working on a number of food based gadgets. This combined with his trap master skills gives him at least a fighting chance against any opponent, provided Cookie has enough prep time.
Captain Cookie CutterEdit
However, Cookie's destiny was not to be a superhero. During January of 2014 space was once again the place on /co/ and attention turned to what the future might hold for the next generation.
- "We're lucky to live in a future setting where most of Earth's problems have been pretty much resolved, so since we can't be superheroes, we should be space explores! And maybe do some space hero work on the side."
- -Cookie to Kay-2 upon setting off into space.
In the not so distant future, Cookie, now an adult, is the captain of his very own spaceship: The Pineapple Cake. Together with Kay-2 (/co/lette's daughter from the the future, but this is the future, so she's just from the present) they travel the galaxy looking for new and exotic foods while meeting all kinds of aliens along the way.
By this point in his life, he's learned a little bit of magic, just enough to let him start fires for cooking without matches or a lighter. He's also developed a 6th sense about traps, he always knows when it's safe or when he's walking into one.

Leading tours of his family's
Plantation, the owner beams
About how beautiful and tidy
Everything is and how
Happy everyone was about
Working there in the past
And what a great family
They have in the present
And what a wonderful time
Is commemorated by the
Whole endeavor, and not for
A moment does he acknowledge
That it was all built on
The backs of enslaved people
And neither do most of his
Guests, the same ones raving
About how magnificent it all is.

Finding Dory came out in theaters on June 17 after over a decade of anticipation, and Ellen DeGeneres is as lovable a fish as she is a human. In honor of Ellen's first big blockbuster since, well, Finding Nemo, and Dory's hilarious sense of whimsy, here are Ellen's best pranks, where she trolls celebs and makes sure they just keep swimming. No celebrity is safe: Especially not Dennis Quaid.

D.C. Superintendent to Propose Closing 19 More Schools
Thursday, September 14, 2006
D.C. School Superintendent Clifford B. Janey will propose today shuttering an additional 19 underenrolled schools on a staggered basis stretching until 2019. The recommendation is already facing criticism from some Board of Education and D.C. Council members who were expecting all of those buildings to be closed by 2008.
Launching phase two of a move to pare down the D.C. school system, Janey wants to close seven schools next summer and four a year later. The remaining eight would be closed over 12 years, beyond the graduation date for today's first-graders. The staggered schedule could mean that the system would have less money to invest in educational programs than school leaders had initially planned.
School system officials said they will need to keep more underenrolled schools open longer to accommodate students from more than 100 other schools who need to be relocated while their buildings are renovated.
The list of 19 schools and the timetable for the closures are in Janey's master education plan, which is to be released today. It is a 1,000-page document outlining how the system would spend about $2.3 billion in city funds to reconstruct 121 schools and downsize the system to account for shrinking enrollment.
Over the summer, the school board, prompted by the loss of 10,000 students in the past five years, closed five schools and made parts or all of eight others available for leasing to charter schools.
For years, members of Congress and the council had grumbled about the millions of dollars wasted in maintaining dozens of schools that were only half full. They persistently pressured the school system to close them and invest in academics.
But the school board didn't take action until the spring, when some council members made closing schools an informal condition of obtaining the modernization funding they were considering.
At issue is a resolution the school board approved March 15 addressing the timetable for the closings. The document directs Janey to submit a master facilities plan "that identifies the amount of excess space and recommends the consolidation and elimination, minimally, of 1 million square feet by July 1, 2007, and a total of 3 million square feet of excess space by July 1, 2008." The school board had opted to move the July 2007 deadline to last month.
Janey and other officials said yesterday that their understanding of the board's vote is that by summer 2008, they have to identify the 2 million square feet in excess space, or 20 schools, that still need to be eliminated. The 13 schools that were closed or consolidated last month accounted for the first 1 million square feet.
"We were given a task to 'identify' 3 million square feet" to eliminate, Thomas M. Brady, the system's chief business operations officer, said yesterday.
"To make the modernization happen in a 15-year period, clearly we need swing space" where students can be relocated, Brady said. "I don't think that's a breach of faith, a breach of what the school board intended at all."
But one school board member, who did not want to openly oppose Janey and spoke only on the condition of anonymity, disputed that argument.

How many Empire State politicians can the Granite State handle? That question is about to be answered, when Rudy Giuliani, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton campaign in New Hampshire days apart.
Rudy will be in the state from July 10th-11th. He will be holding a town hall meeting, a meet and greet with campaign supporters and deliver a "policy announcement." While, the Clintons will campaign from July 13th-14th. On Friday, the duo will appear in Keene, Nashua and Manchester. Then Senator Clinton goes solo on Saturday with stops in Salem and Rochester.

I have been debugging a mutant Gump error. The cause is pretty
interesting. The build in question, jakarta-avalon-excalibur, assumes
that nested Elements are created/configured before attributes are set.
This is never true in mutant and so it causes a build problem. It is at
least sometimes true in Ant1, but I don't think it is always true. I'd
appreciate opinions on whether this is something Ant should guarantee.
The construction in question is here (slightly edited)
The copy operation replaces some tokens to enable or disable JDBC3
compilation. Note that the Java file in question is explicitly excluded
from the compilation but this has no effect as the compiler brings it in
anyway to satisfy dependencies. This build relies on the element
being created before the "srcdir" attribute is set to ensure the
compiler picks up the filtered code and not the unfiltered original.
Actually my expectation was that Ant1 would also set attributes first
but the RuntimeConfigurable comes into play. Interestingly attribute
setting is deferred to runtime but nested element creation is not. Hmmm.
Also, for top-level tasks, it is the other way around.
Anyway, I'd appreciate some thoughts on whether there should be a
defined order of attribute setting versus element creation. Should this
be specified in Ant1? How about Ant2? Alternatively, should it be left
undefined? In that case Build files which rely on any particular order
would be considered defective even if they happened to work
Anyway, IMHO, I think this buildfile is broken.

Fourteen undergraduate speech-language pathology interns from
the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders recently
helped area young adults with disabilities learn to use assistive
technology software and hardware to substantially improve their
ability to communicate and perform academic tasks.
The interns worked with 11 young adults with
disabilities and their parents who attended "Technology in the
FAAST Lane," an innovative five-day camp in June run by the FAAST
Atlantic Region Assistive Technology Demonstration Center, known as
the ARDC, in cooperation with other community agencies. The camp,
held primarily at the Assistive Technology Educational Network
facility in Sanford, also included a curriculum-relevant field-trip
to Walt Disney World's Epcot.
According to Matthew Press, an occupational
therapist for the FAAST ARDC, the UCF interns underwent eight hours
of rigorous training over two days to become proficient enough in
the assistive software programs, such as Inspiration, Universal
Reader and PixWriter, to help camp participants and their parents
learn to use the software. This training was part of the students'
service-learning activities in their augmentative and alternative
communication class.
Of the intern experience, UCF undergraduate
speech-language pathology student Mina Keramati said, "I have
learned so much better with this hands-on experience than I have in
any other class in this major so far. I had never worked so closely
with a client that had AAC (augmentative and alternative
communication) needs, and I feel I am much better prepared for
clients I may see in the future. I have also learned so much about
all the technology that is offered and the processes I will go
through to get these AAC devices if needed."
The assistive programs and devices used during
the camp can aid students with a number of disabilities. For
example, Universal Reader allows users to highlight areas of text
on the Web and have the words read aloud. This program aids those
with special visual needs or who are auditory learners. Some camp
participants received physical accommodations as well, with simple
tools such as stickers on the keyboard keys with larger letters on
them for a visually impaired participant or a keyboard with larger
keys for a participant with special manual exterity needs. Some
also learned to use augmentative and alternative communication
devices, supported by camp interns and staff to understand the
devices' real-world applications.
During the camp, participants used AT software
and hardware to research a country of their choice via the Internet
and during the Epcot field-trip. At the end of the camp,
participants demonstrated their knowledge and skills by delivering
public presentations on the country they researched and their
experiences at the camp. Each participant received a refurbished
desktop computer with the software programs used during the camp
included. The cost of the program was $50 per student, and
scholarships from sponsors were available for students in need of
financial assistance.
ARDC Coordinator Jennifer Kent-Walsh said,
"What makes this camp different is that we are teaching the
participating teenagers and their parents to use assistive
technologies to complete challenging and motivating educational
activities, and then we send the families home with the computer
and software they learned to use during camp. We want these kids to
have access to the tools they need to be successful when completing
homework, and it is exciting to have the undergraduate student
interns play such a key role in this process. Service-learning
activities like this help the students to realize that it is
critical for them to work collaboratively with families to identify
appropriate assistive technologies and challenging goals for all of
their clients."
The Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and
Technology provided funding to establish the ARDC in the UCF
Communication Disorders Clinic in October 2005. The center provides
services to clients with disabilities in nine Florida counties and
unique field-experience opportunities to UCF interns, such as this
The FAAST ARDC frequently collaborates with
community agencies to provide services, and partners for
"Technology in the FAAST Lane" included the Assistive Technology
Educational Network, Center for Independent Living of Central
Florida, Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida, IDEAS
Special Needs Consults Inc., Kiwanis Club of Oviedo-Winter Springs
and Walt Disney World.

Golden Die-Angle, Way to Die #507, is the first death to be featured in "Fatal Distraction", which aired on October 5, 2010.
Ting was hired by the Laotian drug lords to protect their ophiums. Ting has a way to treat trespassers by decapitate them and chopping off their hends without showing any remorse. He would display their severed heads on his posts as a warning for upcoming potential poachers/trespassers. One day, Ting receives a word/call from unknown person that a couple more poachers/trespassers, who are being initiated, are out. Ting prepares his machete, hops on his ATV and chases the two wannabe poachers/drug smugglers. In the heat of the chase, the two wannabe poachers/drug smugglers hide in the tall grasses and Ting turns his ATV around in high speed, but he forgets one important thing; the barbed-wire fence that he installed a few days earlier. As his ATV drives through the fence, the fence's top wire ironically decapitates Ting, horrifying and scaring away the two wannabe drug smugglers/poachers. Ting's severed head, however, along with his headless body/corpse, still riding on his ATV, is later found and taken away by the authorities.
"The drug trade was a dangerous deadly, lethal, and risky business. Ting flipped his death coin in the air, and when it came down, it read... heads, you lose."

Did I mention I think you do so many wonderful things with your family, and activities with your boys. I feel like a tired and not very patient mum these days, hopefully will be better! I hope you're selling the house soon!

What a fantastic idea! I certainly remember that day. We were in London on the tube heading to the airport to fly to a Muslim country. I can still remember the chaos. It was also our 2 year anniversary. It is still a bit strange to be celebrating our anniversary on that day.

I remember that day. I was at my office and got a frantic call from my sister.
I am going to do something good every day (God willing). Life is too short not to.

since we live in the neighborhood, we are most definitely a part of the events that will go on this week and weekend. we are being forced to tell our first grader about 9/11, and i have to admit that i am not so excited about that. the kids are supposed to do a whole thing at school.
i was there that day, saw the second tour get hit. saw both towers fall. 10 years later it is still fresh in my mind.

What a great way to shift the focus to something positive and hopeful. I love the idea of using the anniversary of September 11th as a day to reach out and encourage community and connection. I'm in!
