Man... did you check out the specs on the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor?  Sweet is all I could say -- increased shield strength, recoil-compensating actuators; hydrostatic gel; heads up display of maps and weapon status; motion tracker of friend and foes; linkage with AI; built in mini-fusion pack!  And as if that isn't enough, there's even an onboard supply of biofoam!

Oh, you're not a Halo fan?  Well, that's coo...  what?  You wear armor, too?  When?  This I gotta see.

Ahhhh, the classic Psalm 23.  You've probably grew up in Sunday School memorizing the chapter.  You might still be able to recite it now.  You know the words, but do you know what it means?  Oh sure, you're proficient with the English language, that's without doubt.  But see, there's a filter in place.  You're a city-slicker.  How would you like to see Psalms 23 through the eyes of a shepherd?  Presented by Shino Johns at REACH on August 24, 2007.
