Each summer, CIMBY students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of internships to develop leadership skills while gaining experience working alongside scientists and environmental professionals. The Field Museum's Ford Environmental Leadership Internship (FELI) participants use the Earth Force process to examine their community, choose a local environmental issue that they want to address in some way, and then develop a civic-action project to address that issue. In 2010, FELI interns identified a lack of fresh food in their neighborhoods and took steps to create positive change around this issue, including creating a short informational video to educate the community. During the summer of 2011, FELI interns designed educational games and literature to teach the general public about greenhouse gases emitted during electricity production and its impact on the local environment.
Click here to apply for the Ford Environmental Leadership Internship.
BOLD Chicago also provides funding for several internships each summer focused on environmental conservation, community organizing, and/or green careers. CIMBY interns have been placed with local environmental organizations in the Chicago area: Student Conservation Association/Friends of the Forest Preserves, Friends of the Parks, Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, Sand Ridge Nature Center, the National Park Foundation's Parks Climate Challenge, Southeast Environmental Task Force, and the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How can I find out about clinical trials for my prostate cancer that is not responding to hormones anymore?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
There are many clinical trials being conducted for patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer. OncoLink has a service, powered by EmergingMed, which can narrow your search for trials based on your particular case. Visit the clinical trials section of OncoLink or call 1-800-474-9892 for assistance. The National Cancer Institute also offers clinical trials listing via their website, www.cancer.gov.
Jan 7, 2013 - Most patients with localized prostate cancer know little about the out-of-pocket expenses of the different treatments, and would not have chosen a different treatment even if they had known the actual out-of-pocket expenses of their treatment, according to a study published in the December issue of Urology.

Ganglioneuroblastoma is an intermediate tumor that grows nerve tissue. An intermediate tumor is one that is between benign (slow-growing and unlikely to spread) and malignant (fast-growing, aggressive, and likely to spread).
This rare tumor occurs in less than 5 out of every 1,000,000 children each year.
Tumors of the nervous system have different degrees of differentiation. The degree of differentiation is based on how the tumor cells look under the microscope. It can predict whether or not they are likely to spread.
Benign tumors are less likely to spread. Malignant tumors are aggressive, grow quickly, and often spread. A ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor. A neuroblastoma (occurring in children over 1 year old) is usually malignant.
A ganglioneuroblastoma may be only in one area or it may be widespread, but it is usually less aggressive than a neuroblastoma. The cause is unknown.
Most commonly, a lump can be felt in the abdomen. However, this condition may also occur in other parts of the body.
Because these tumors are rare, they should be treated in a specialized center by experts who have experience with them.
Depending on the type of tumor, treatment can involve surgery, and possibly chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
You can often help the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See: Cancer - support group
The outlook depends on how far the tumor has spread, and whether some areas of the tumor contain more aggressive cancer cells.
Call your health care provider if you feel a lump or growth on your child's body. Make sure children receive routine examinations as part of their well-child care.

Demonstrated Computer Competency Is A Graduation Requirement!
All degree-seeking students must demonstrate a required level of computer competency before they graduate, and it is strongly suggested that such proficiency be demonstrated within the first 15 credit hours of coursework. This can be done in 2 ways:
- By taking and passing the course INFS 1010 - Computer Applications.
- If INFS 1010 is not required for your degree, by taking and passing the Computer Competency Exam (CCE).
Volunteer State Community College requires that all degree-seeking students are computer literate. A certain level of computer competency is necessary for success both at Volunteer State and beyond.
INFS 1010 - Computer Technology And Applications
INFS 1010 Microcomputer Technology and Applications (3) An introduction to microcomputers and application software. Students will gain familiarity with microcomputer hardware, operating systems, word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software and the Internet. The course provides extensive hands-on experience and satisfies the Volunteer State computer competency requirement.
Computer Competency Exam (CCE)
Self Assessment
Students who are interested in the CCE should first perform an initial self-assessment to see whether or not they are good candidates for the CCE.This self-assessment lists all the skills that are required for the exam as well as information about taking the practice exam. After this self-assessment, the student will be able to make an informed decision of whether to take the CCE or take the course, INFS 1010. You are strongly encouraged to click here review the self-assessment online.
The self-assessment sample exam can be taken online, but the Computer Competency Exam will be given in the Testing Center. Point your browser to sam2010.course.com to take the Sample Test. Use firstname.lastname@example.com as the username and ccestudent1 as the password. (If you get an error message, use email@example.com as the username and ccestudent2 as the password.) After this self-assessment, any student who believes that they already possess the necessary level of computer competency may opt to take the Computer Competency Exam by contacting the Testing Center at (615) 230 - 3484 or come by the Wood Campus Center, Room 217, at Volunteer State Community College. We encourage you to print out or reference this step by step guide: How to take the Computer Competency Exam.

Hi, I am 39 and had breast cancer two years ago. Cancer is high on both sides of my family. I found a lump in my other breast nine months ago. Mammogram was done at that time and showed no cancer. How often do I need to have a mammogram?
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
There are a small percentage of patients, especially younger patients that develop breast cancer detected by physical examination alone with negative mammogram findings. If a patient has a suspicious mass on physical examination that warrants a biopsy, then a negative mammogram should not stop such a biopsy. Other imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, might be useful to clarify the situation, especially for the younger patient.
If you remain concerned, then you should seek medical attention with a physician (or physicians) experienced in breast diseases. Some possibilities include a surgeon (with an interest in breast diseases), and many university-affiliated hospitals have breast centers. Another possibility includes National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers. You might call 1-800-4-CANCER to ask about the center nearest your home.
In the absence of clinical symptoms, yearly mammograms are the generally accepted standard after breast cancer treatment.
Oct 18, 2011 - After 10 years of annual mammography screening for breast cancer, more than 60 percent of women will receive at least one false-positive recall; and, breast cancer detection rates in women aged 50 to 79 years are similar with digital or film-screen mammography, according to two studies published in the Oct. 18 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Your hair and nails function to protect your body. They also keep the temperature of your body steady. Another important function of the hair and nails is to help you (sense) feel things.
As you age, your hair and nails begin to change.
Hair Changes and Their Effects
Hair color change. This is one of the clearest signs of aging. Hair color is due to a pigment called melanin , which is produced by hair follicles. These are structures in the skin that make and grow hair. With aging, the follicle makes less melanin. Graying often begins in the 30s.
Scalp hair often starts graying usually at the temples and extends to the top of the scalp. Hair color becomes lighter, eventually turning white.
Body and facial hair also turn gray, but usually later than scalp hair. Hair in the armpit, chest, and pubic area may gray less or not at all.
Graying is determined by your genes. Gray hair tends to occur earlier in Caucasians and later in Asians. Nutritional supplements, vitamins, and other products will not stop or decrease the rate of graying.
Hair thickness change. Hair is made of many protein strands. A single hair has a normal life between 2 and 6 years. That hair then falls out and is replaced with a new hair. How much hair you have on your body and head is also determined by your genes.
With aging nearly everyone has some hair loss with aging. The rate of hair growth also slows.
Hair strands become smaller and have less pigment. So the thick, coarse hair of a young adult eventually becomes thin, fine, light-colored hair. Many hair follicles stop producing new hairs.
Men may start showing signs of baldness by the time they are 30 years old. Many men are nearly bald by age 60. A type of baldness related to the male hormone testosterone is called male-pattern baldness . Hair may be lost at the temples or at the top of the head.
Women can develop a similar type of baldness as they age. This is called female-pattern baldness . Hair becomes less dense and the scalp may become visible.
As you age, your body and facial hair are also lost. But hairs that remain may become coarser. Women may lose body hair. Facial hair may get coarser, especially on the chin and around the lips. Men may grow longer and coarser eyebrow, ear, and nose hair.
Contact your health care provider if you have sudden loss of hair. This can be a symptom of a health problem.
Nail Changes and Their Effects
Your nails also change with aging. They grow more slowly and may become dull and brittle. They may become yellowed and opaque.
Nails, especially toenails, may become hard and thick. Ingrown toenails may be more common. The tips of the fingernails may fragment.
Lengthwise ridges may develop in the fingernails and toenails.
Check with your health care provider if your nails develop pits, ridges, lines, changed shape, or other changes. These can be related to iron deficiency, kidney disease, and nutritional deficiencies.
As You Grow Older, You Will Have Other Changes, Including:

Deep venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep inside a part of the body. It mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh.
DVT; Blood clot in the legs; Thromboembolism; Post-phlebitic syndrome; Post-thrombotic syndrome
DVTs are most common in adults over age 60. But, they can occur at any age. When a clot breaks off and moves through the bloodstream, this is called an embolism. An embolism can get stuck in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area, leading to severe damage.
Blood clots may form when something slows or changes the flow of blood in the veins. Risk factors include:
Blood is more likely to clot in someone who has certain problems or disorders, such as:
Sitting for long periods when traveling can increase the risk of DVTs. This is most likely when you also have one or more of the risk factors listed above.
DVT mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, almost always on one side of the body. The clot can block blood flow and cause:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam. The exam may show a red, swollen, or tender leg.
The two tests that are often done first to diagnose a DVT are:
Blood tests may be done to check if you have an increased chance of blood clotting, including:
Your doctor will give you medicine to thin your blood (called an anticoagulant). This will keep more clots from forming or old ones from getting bigger.
Heparin is usually the first drug you will receive.
Depending on your medical history, fondaparinux may be recommended by your doctor as an alternative to heparin.
A blood-thinning drug, for example warfarin (Coumadin), is usually started along with heparin.
When you are taking warfarin, you are more likely to bleed, even from activities you have always done. If you are taking warfarin at home :
You will be given a pressure stocking to wear on your leg or legs. A pressure stocking improves blood flow in your legs and reduces your risk for complications from blood clots. It is important to wear it every day.
In rare cases, you may need surgery if medicines do not work. Surgery may involve:
Many DVTs disappear without a problem, but they can return. Some people may have long-term pain and swelling in the leg called post-phlebitic syndrome.
You may also have pain and changes in skin color. These symptoms can appear right away or you may not develop them for 1 or more years afterward. Wearing tight (compression) stockings during and after the DVT may help prevent this problem.
Blood clots in the thigh are more likely to break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolus, or PE) than blood clots in the lower leg or other parts of the body.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of DVT.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have DVT and you develop:

Since working with a group of middle schoolers I've thought more and more about the concept of education and the role of the teacher. A few times I lectured to the kids on screenwriting and poetry. A few times I did group activities where we worked together to create a character, story, or plot.
Reflecting on my education, I realize that a lot of it was centered around these two methods. In retrospect there were some great lectures and some poor. But the idea of lecturing just doesn't seem satisfying. I recall my time in middle school where I would listen and soak everything in, while on other days my mind would drift off. On these days, the teach seemed more of a recording that could be listened to or not, depending on my mood.
With the kids, I ran through a bit of script with them and they all claimed to understand it, but afterwards were generally unresponsive. Then when they split into groups the classroom came alive and were more productive than ever. Perhaps I helped them understand it better, or perhaps I bored them out of their minds.
With all of these in mind, I looked further and found this video. So now I'm to seek a better understand of how people learn, and importantly how they learn effectively.

RATINGS: 1085 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.75 SEASONAL: Spring IBU: 100 EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Emphasizing that complexity of character can arise from simple elements, this ale is made with three malts and one hop. Its light amber color and slightly spicy malt character are derived from the use of German Dark Munich Malt and Rye Malt respectively. North American 2-row barley combines with the other grains to lay the foundation for the hop onslaught to come. Summit hops are used exclusively in the boil for bitterness, flavor and aroma but it doesnt end there. Post-fermentation dry hopping allows the 10% ABV monstrosity to gently coax the citrus rind and grapefruit aroma to join the 100 IBUs already present. This beer should greet you with a pungent citrus blast, provide a spicy yet round middle and finish with a brisk, clean bitterness. Columbus in early and mid kettle. ** This beer will now feature different hops in the massive dry hop every year. 2014 - Sorachi Ace, Mosaic, and Chinook. Incredibly complex mix of lemon zest, pineapple, red berries, peach, and a hint of dank earthiness.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- A 38-year-old St. Louis man is now being held for an officer involved shooting earlier this month on Delmar in the city.
Karlton Finger, of the 3000 block of Whitter Street, is charged with armed criminal action, burglary, resisting arrest and multiple counts of assaulting police officers.
Police say Finger and some other men were caught by police after they were caught stealing.
When police pulled the men over, Finger accelerated at one of the officers. Finger's passenger then opened fire. No one was injured. Finger is being held on $100,000 bail.

WINDHAND'S debut Relapse full length is nothing short of transcendent. On its surface it is a top 5 of all time doom record, but this record is for more than just doom-metal fanatics though—this is an epic record for all fans of guitar driven rock and roll. On Soma WINDHAND successfully make syrupy slow, downtuned doom hooky and anthemic. Propelled by singer Dorthia Cottrell's beautifully haunting bellow, WINDHAND's dual guitar attack sounds like the glorious misfit offspring of Black Sabbath and Nirvana. An easy candidate for heavy music record of the year.

Match System???
Ok, I'm not so great with technology admittedly...I just DON'T get the match system.
My understanding was that if there is a mutual match...I will get an e-mail.
I got an e-mail saying there is a new match. It doesn't say who...I log in into the system...I don't see anyway to find out who the match is with????
Then I read the instruction more carefully and it is a double blind system. Double blind??? How about completely blind?
I have NO idea what I am supposed to do....and who this match is with?

Her costume is pretty cool yet simple in design.
The anatomical proportions are just the right measurement yet still retaining the anime style without becoming "photo realistic" or abstract.
Her pose is common but it suits the situation.

We've all read about certain knives that somehow have everything clicking: beautiful grind, terrific in-hand feel, nice looks, flawless fit and finish, and the list can go on and on. For whatever reason, these knives stand out above the rest - even in the same batch, by the same maker. You often hear about the maker declaring, "you want a special knife? Well, this is the one you should buy". I believe Murray Carter calls them his "Premium" knives, of which I have one. It's a special piece, for sure...with that being said, I really really like it, but can't justify keeping it around, just for fun. Eventually, you'll find it on my site, and the new owner will be very lucky, and happy to have bought it.
I recently got 10 Shigefusas and one Yoshihide, all destined for you guys. I have looked them all over very thoroughly, and without going into specifics, they are all gorgeous blades, with terrific craftsmanship. The grinds, in general, are stellar. The feeling, terrific. As we all know, Shigefusa is one of the "Grail Knives", and I fully understand why. Not surprisingly, I have a feeling I'll be keeping one for my own kitchen, to love and ogle, for years to come. What has surprised me, however, is which knife it is that's made me a little kid. The knife I'm talking about is a 195mm Santoku. Yes, a SANTOKU! I've said before, I'm not a santoku guy. I wasn't, at least...hell, I'm still not, but this little gal has stolen my heart. It's a wonderful size for home use, the look is just incredible, and when I first grabbed it, I went, "Damn...this isn't good". I'm mesmerized by the grind, and while I can't quite put it into words, it just feels like it's supposed to stay with me. I cracked, and used it to prepare lunch, and it was everything I thought it would be. Here are two pictures I snapped on my phone:
I'm not sure what exactly made me feel I should share with you all that I'm smitten with a santoku, but I will leave you with one thing: don't write off a knife because it isn't the chic choice, or because you've decided that the style isn't what you like. Had I done that, I never would have discovered my new flame.

Two images come to mind when I think of driver coaching. One is the green leaves that appear on the dashboards of Ford Fusion (and Mercury Milan) hybrids when drivers do the right thing consistently. The other is Bugs Bunny in the passenger seat wearing a sweatshirt and holding a whistle.
Visteon may have been thinking leaves more than wabbit when it included "driver coaching" among the attributes of the C-Beyond concept car it developed with help from Parisian industrial design firm Estech (www.estech-design.com). The car will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show after completing a grand tour of automakers in Europe, Japan, and China.
Visteon said the C-Beyond (built on a C-segment platform) has more than 40 innovative features in climate and interior systems, infotainment and connectivity, and exterior lighting. Among the ones that stood out for me are motion sensing lighting to help passengers find things at night, and vertical airflow with adaptive climate controls that adjust automatically to the number and location of occupants.
The vertical airflow feature eliminates the need for vents in the dashboard so dashboard space can be used more creatively. And occupant detection applications may be no big deal in a year or three but for now they still have a bit of a "wow" factor. This one may or may not be production-ready. Visteon says that some C-Beyond features are production-ready, and some are not.
The concept car is one more example of the fast pace of automotive electronics development. Automakers and suppliers are releasing, or at least talking about, one cool thing after another. There is innovation in almost every new vehicle, and electronic features present a lot of opportunity for differentiation. Time will tell which features will make it to the mainstream.
If you are going to Paris for the Motor Show, look for Estech in Hall 3, Stand 334. If you can't make it, Visteon has put up a useful interactive presentation at http://www.visteon.com/innovate/c-beyond/dotmap.html.

Erica Thiering finishes 10th in Wednesday night's NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway (Saskatoon, SK).
Last week Jeb Burton ran 316 of the 325 laps that make up the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500. He finished only 35th in his debut, but he gained valuable track time.
In his first start with Tommy Baldwin Racing, Alex Bowman scored his best finish on a similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track; he finished 23rd. Last year, with BK Racing, his best was a 30th at Charlotte in the fall.
Landon Cassill has blown engines in back-to-back races on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks. He retired on lap 134 of the AAA Texas 500 last fall and lap 92 of the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500 last week at Atlanta.
Travis Kvapil has one of the most consistent last three races to his credit at Las Vegas. He finished 39th in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Twenty-two-year-old up-and-coming driver Brett Moffitt will pilot Front Row Motorsports' No. 34 Ford Fusion for the next three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
Tyler Reddick finishes fifth in Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In a substitute roll for Brian Vickers this week, Moffitt more than acquitted himself. He finished eighth in the Quik Trip 500 after starting the event 22nd.
Matt Kenseth made the decision to stay out on old tires with 15 laps remaining and the gamble paid off with a fifth-place finish. For most of the day, even tires with only a handful of laps fell off quickly and sent drivers dropping rapidly to the back.
Joey Logano was the class of the field for more than 82 laps at the beginning of the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500. After a couple of caution flags, the field improved but he remained the same. That cost the No. 22 a victory, but fantasy owners will be happy with points for fourth-place.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished third in the first two races of this season. Last week he was third in Daytona and he repeated that effort at Atlanta.
Kevin Harvick finished second to Joey Logano last week at Daytona and he finished runner-up for a second consecutive week at Atlanta—this time to Jimmie Johnson. After blowing an engine in practice, he was forced to come from the back of the pack along with Johnson.

PARIS — Susan Mary Alsop crossed paths with every significant figure of the second half of the 20th century, from Winston Churchill and Wallis Simpson to President John F. Kennedy and Nancy Reagan.
"Henry Kissinger said of her that more diplomatic treaties had been signed on her drawing-room table than in ministries," notes French author Caroline de Margerie, whose biography of the backstage power broker, "American Lady — The Life of Susan Mary Alsop," was published by Viking this month.
"Her idea, as that of other men and women of her time, was that bringing the high and mighty together in congenial circumstances, plying them drink and with cigarettes, would help them relax, cut deals and work for the greater good," adds de Margerie.
She paints a vivid picture of an elite social sphere, taking readers from postwar Paris to the Camelot years in the U.S. capital, and beyond. De Margerie found this world especially fascinating in light of her own former career as a diplomat, which included serving as European adviser to French President François Mitterrand in the run-up to the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992.
"I saw 'history on the boil,' as Nancy Mitford said of Susan Mary — the fall of the Berlin Wall, the overthrow of the Soviet Union, central Europe coming into its own," she recalls. De Margerie, who has also penned a biography of "Cyrano de Bergerac" author Edmond Rostand, is now a member of the Council of State, France's highest administrative court.
But she was not just interested in Alsop's brilliant social circle or her legendary style, which made her a magnet for couturiers like Christian Dior, who would regularly lend her gowns.
"I liked the fact that hers had not only been a life of glamour and privilege, but also of sorrows and hardships. I liked the fact that she was brainy as well as beautiful — very smart and very interested in history and current events," she says.
The author goes behind the facade to reveal a passionate personality torn between her sense of duty and her personal desires. Namely, she provides fresh insight into Alsop's affair with Duff Cooper, Britain's ambassador to France at the time, with whom she had an illegitimate son while married to U.S. diplomat Bill Patten.
De Margerie had access to some 500 previously unseen letters written by Alsop to her lover, and was also allowed to read the unabridged version of Cooper's famed diaries. "I could follow day by day, as nobody had, this love story," she says.
During this period, Alsop also kept up a prodigious correspondence with her mother as well as her best friend, Marietta Tree.
"They chronicled not only her life in Paris, but life in Paris during the postwar years when Paris rebuilt itself, and the whole country rebuilt itself, so she can be thought of as a white-gloved version of Janet Flanner," says de Margerie, referring to the longtime Paris correspondent of The New Yorker magazine.
The diplomat's wife also used her social position to try to improve Franco-American relations.
"So, she would explain to General Marshall that France wasn't always on strike. She would explain to young Senator Kennedy that it wasn't so easy for France to renounce Algeria. She would explain to the French that not all American politicians were behind Joe McCarthy. She tried to bridge gaps, and she did so all her life," de Margerie explains.
Following Patten's death, Alsop married columnist Joseph Alsop, and the two formed one of Washington's most prestigious couples in an era when the nation's capital was packed with them.
"The fact that he was homosexual wasn't known at the time in Washington circles. He kept it quiet. Those of his friends and family in the know kept it quiet as well. Susan Mary herself was aware of it, because he'd told her so, but I think she thought she'd changed him — a naïve way, probably, of seeing things," says de Margerie.
"What was important was their public life together. They set out to be one of Camelot's leading couples and they certainly achieved it, together. Both brought to the achievement their own qualities and knowledge, intelligence, relations, and more practical things, such as Susan Mary's excellent wine cellar and her Dior and Balmain dresses. The fact that she was so stylish certainly appealed to President Kennedy and to Jackie Kennedy," she adds.
In her later years, Alsop would have a second career as a writer, penning several books, including a biography of Lady Victoria Sackville, and becoming a contributing editor at Architectural Digest magazine. But the reed-thin doyenne of Georgetown also developed a drinking problem, a reflection of her hidden inner turmoil.
"Perfection was something she imposed upon herself, and it certainly is linked to the fact that she wanted to please her mother and felt she couldn't," says de Margerie.
"A great deal was expected of Susan Mary. She didn't quite feel up to it, but she struggled to do her best all her life. When her mother died, she was a very old lady, and it was too late to make it possible for Susan Mary to relax, so the extra glass of sherry did help to unwind," she adds.
Ultimately, Alsop comes across as a woman ahead of her time.
"If she'd been born a generation or two later, she'd have been a diplomat or a journalist," said de Margerie. "But at the same time, one mustn't belittle achievements these behind-the-scenes players had in a more modest and invisible manner."
For more on Susan Mary Alsop, see WWD's 1978 and 1983 interviews with her, as well as the slide show.

5 Best Warriors game everNevfx2009 | 06/09/2012 | See all Nevfx2009's reviews (2)With all characters from Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends and Samurai Warriors 3 Z, not released in the west, and a host of other characters, this game has 120 plus playable characters in it.Those who had similar movesets, like Liu Shan and other rapier users Sima Shi and Yuan Shao, now have slight variations made to the moveset to make the more unique.There is one story, which has many stages to it. Most characters have there own shining moment within the story, be it in the main story or the several side stories which are going on. You also travel back in time to change the past, sometimes even unlocking "Redux" versions of previously completed levels.This game takes the best parts from DW7XL and SW3Z. The visual style from DW7XL, and a third bar, the Spirit Gauge from SW3Z modified to a normal bar, which allows Triple Team Attack.Recommend for all fans of the series, you will seriously love this game!
5 Awesome!Whalewhisker | 13/04/2012 | See all Whalewhisker's reviews (1)Well worth every penny, this latest edition to Koei's hack-n-slash franchise presents you with a dramtic conclusion to it's original story line in the Warriors Orochi universe. While the dialog of the game is entirely Japanese there are subtitles to keep you informed throughout the game. Combat has improved from its predecesor, a new character type, Wonder, means that pervious character's types have been shuffeled leading to a new experience with veteran warriors. In addition, a true tripple musou attack can now be performed as well as your team mates intervining in combat should you get attacked, providing that your bond with them is sufficient. TecmoKoei crossovers make a welcome edition with characters such as Ryu staring in stages specifically altered to suit their homeworld/time. With over 120 playable characters you really are spoilt for choice!With DLC support in the future and plenty of trophies/achivements, Warriors Orochi 3 is a welcom edition to any Koei fanboy's collection as well as a good place to start for newcomers.
4 Very entertaining!ListerDaLeo | 08/04/2012 | See all ListerDaLeo's reviews (25)Ok cons first, at first i felt ripped off because all the in game story and speaking is not english, its chinese so i hope some patch comes out soon to fix this, the other things that i still dont like as much is 3 characters to choose from, yes lots of characters to choose from but to many in my mind, but i do love the extras they added in such as joan of arc from bladestorm and Ryu Hayabusa of ninja gaiden.Pros, i actually get the epic feel, like saving all the warriors etc, and fighting unknown enemy's, maps are exciting, but most of all the amount of enemy's can be unreal at times, i love it, getting always over 1k - 4k nearly every level.So if your a fan of samurai warriors, dynasty or even troy game, ii suggest getting this unless your not into another language story telling and sayings, but its not so bad once you get used to it.

They call it the Pearl of the South. Those who never visited may doubt it, but those who did, understand why. After all, there's nothing easier than letting yourself be enchanted by the charms of Marrakesh, by its endless streets, its people, the sunset behind the Atlas mountain range and the orange juice at the mythical Djemaa el Fna square.
With just under one million habitants, Marrakesh stopped being the capital of Morocco to become the diva of the Maghreb country. Located on the foot of the imposing Atlas Mountains, with the desert right by its site, the city is "painted" in pastel tones. It is important to say straight away that calmly driving a car or a motorbike through the city is practically impossible. However, it is interesting to get to the central area of Marrakesh, the Djemaa el Fna square and to understand -- or not to understand -- how this organised chaos works: in three lanes, one can see five rows of cars, motorbikes, taxis and bicycles. Djemaa el Fna is the buzzing core of the city with very few boring moments. But entering the heart of Marrakesh is an experience not to be missed, mainly in the souk area, where everything is sold and bargained, with a lot of patience.Marrakesh also has a more modern side to it, that of luxury, mansions and casinos. After all, as well as its residents, we can find backpackers, actors and even politicians. As a curiosity, this was the British former Prime Minister Winston Churchill's favourite city.
