Complementary Medicine
Topic Overview
What is complementary medicine?
The word "complementary" means "in addition to." Complementary medicine is treatment and medicine that you use in addition to your doctor's standard care.
What is considered standard treatment in one culture may not be standard in another. For example:
- Acupuncture is standard in China but not in the United States.
- Hypnosis is a standard part of psychiatry, but it may not be standard if used to treat cancer.
Other examples of complementary medicine include:
- Yoga.
- Massage therapy.
- Herbal remedies.
- Naturopathic medicine.
Is research being done on it?
Many complementary treatments and medicines have not yet been studied to see how safe they are or how well they work. Some treatments, such as prayer or music therapy, are hard to study.
In the U.S. the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine was formed within the National Institutes of Health to test the safety and effectiveness of these treatments. The center has guidelines to help you choose safe treatments that are right for you.
Should you use complementary medicine?
Before you decide to use this type of treatment, think about these questions:
- Why are you considering this treatment? People often use complementary medicine to treat long-term health problems or to stay healthy. But if you are looking for a "cure-all," you may be disappointed. Before you begin to use it, make sure that you learn how well it is likely to work.
- What are you comfortable with? Part of the philosophy of some forms of complementary medicine is to listen to and touch people in a healing way. Some people find great comfort in this. Others may be bothered by it.
Many complementary treatments are covered by insurance plans. But check to see what your plan covers.
What are the risks?
The greatest risk is that you may use these treatments instead of going to your regular doctor. Complementary medicine should be in addition to treatment from your doctor. Otherwise you may miss important treatment that could save your life.
Sometimes complementary medicines can be dangerous when they are combined with another medicine you are taking. Always talk to your doctor before you use any new medicines. Diet supplements, for example, are complementary. And they can vary widely in how strong they are and in how they react to other medicines.
Also, complementary medicine isn't controlled as much as standard medicine. This means you could become a victim of fraud. Sellers or people who practice complementary medicine are more likely to be frauds if they:
- Require large up-front payments.
- Promise quick results or miracle cures.
- Warn you not to trust your doctor.
What are the benefits?
One benefit is that many people who practice complementary medicine take a "whole person," or holistic, approach to treatment. They may take an hour or more to ask you questions about your lifestyle, habits, and background. This makes many people feel better about the treatment, the person giving the treatment itself, and the condition.
In some cases, this type of medicine works as well as standard medicine. For example, research shows that St. John's wort works as well for depression as a common antidepressant and causes fewer side effects. Also, these treatments often cost less and have fewer side effects than standard treatment.
Some people feel more in control when they are more involved in their own health. And since most complementary medicine looks at the connection between mind and body, many people who use it feel better. They like working toward overall wellness instead of just relief from one problem.

Far Cry 2 - Rewrite
Vechiles are the biggest high point for me. How realistic they are & how they drive.
Multiplayer was appauling in this game!
So an enemy is running towards me, I fired off 3 shots of a shotgun into his arm, The enemy stumbles & just keeps on running! I was like.. "Why do we not have these troops in our army!"
Far Cry 2 is the long awaited sort-of sequel to Far Cry 1. (although there have been extra Far Cry games, None can be called a sequel.) You begin the game in South Africa with a long interactive cut-scene which then quickly turns into an attack on you. You end up with Malaria in the middle of nowhere & you must work your way through missions (which mostly just include killing numerous amount of people, or blowing up certain objects) to find the notorious 'Jackal'.
I was very excited about getting my hands on this game from the videos on YouTube but when I actually got it, I was a bit disappointed. Although this game is extraordinary, it has many flaws in it. But first, lets talk about all its good features.
Although it is fun to grab the biggest gun I could find & blowing the enemies heads off; I didn't have to do this in Far Cry 2. If you are like me, then you will want to try the more stealth attack, using the sniper rifles & silenced weapons to there fullest creeping around & picking off enemies one by one. One of the best things about this game in my view is the independence it gives the gamer. You choose what you want to do & what, even though sometimes it does force you to do some missions you get to choose when you want to them & how.
The thing that Ubisoft have promoted the most about this game is the fire in it. "Play with the most realistic fire ever seen in a game" - Taken from the back of the case. This statement is very true as in game, I could wipe out complete villages with just a Molotov Cocktail or a Flare gun.
The vehicles in this are extremely fun to drive & very realistic. I did not believe the amounts of times I had to get out of my car/boat & repair the damned thing as they break down so much from gun damage.
One very big thing I also liked about this game was the accents. I know this is not part of the game but I know I am not the only person that adores the South African accent!
No matter how good this game is, there will always be downsides to nearly every aspect too as no game can be perfect, can it?
I complimented the fire in this game greatly, but there is a thing that annoys me a lot too about it, I burnt down a whole forest with a single Molotov Cocktail & then it will suddenly stop burning! I was like "..What?!".
One of my biggest criticisms about the game is the AI, although very well made, the biggest flaw I saw was that for some reason they can see me by one shot I made. If I let off a shot & then moved you would think that they would go to where the shot was but no, They just followed me around till either they or I was dead! Very irritating.
Also I have a big 'No No' about the silenced weapons. Silenced weapons are suppose to be silent, not attract attention. So far the only weapon I have found that does this is the Dart Rifle. The SILENCED mp5 & SILENCED pistol attracts attention as if I was using a Light Machine Gun!
Another thing that irritated me about this game was the strong accents that some of the characters have. I couldn't understand a word that they are saying & the subtitles are fairly hard to see (not as bad as Dead Rising but still!). Big down point for the hard of hearing.
The repetitive of the missions gets very annoying. "Kill this man", "Destroy this thing", "Make this man talk then kill him!" over & over & over. Fair enough there may not be a lot I could have done in the way of Missions for South African terrain but hey, I would like to be able to skin a few animals or fetch some water for a man.. Even the mundain tasks are sometimes best!
A big disappointment for me was the multiplayer modes. These are not well made at all, The Map maker function is good yes, but does not make up for how bad the multiplayer is. It is very hard to connect to a good server & then not an enjoyable experience.
I did get confused a lot by this game by when I am just standing in front of a friendly NPC they will just drop dead right there & then. Or I will just hear a truck pull up & the driver already be dead! I was getting incredibly confused when this continuously happened. Also another problem with the NPCs was that I could walk through some of the Watch Posts (where loads of enemies are) & there will be no sight or sound of anybody. I would walk in most of the houses, nothing. Then I would come across a building with 4 enemies crouching down in the corners facing the walls. I walk in & still no response at all. Shoot one, still nothing! Then I would walk outside & there will be one standing there with a shotgun in my face, dead.
Some of NPCs are built like tanks, I can shoot them in the leg, chest, arm, wherever & they will not be affected at all! This is suppose to be a realistic game, How can I shoot somebody in the chest or face & they do hardly anything..
Although this review does contain a lot of criticisms of the game, the high points do not dim the game for me at all. It is the funnest game I have played this year! It is a very good game & I would give it:
for the Single Player Campaign but a
for Multiplayer. Disappointing.
This game was obtained via Play.com for xBox360. I haven't completed it yet but it has taken me about 12 hours to do 68% of it!
The ESRB have rated this game an '18' & with good judgment! This game includes a lot of bad language & violence.
Deaf & Hard of Hearing:
The vocals are well done but sometimes the accents are a bit strong. The subtitles are manageable but a tad hard to read sometimes, depending on the background terrain. The enemies do talk a lot & other noises do help gameplay but it is nesessary. I would not advice it for Deaf or Hard of Hearing customers.

Re: Far Cry 2 - Rewrite
Alrighty dude, I'm going to tackle this one for ya and try to show where your writing needs to be stronger.
* Still lots of second-person references, i.e. "You end up with malaria", "if you are like me", "let's talk about its good features", etc.
* I would have liked to see more exposition on the game's premise. I could figure it out since I'm writing the official review for the game myself, but had I not played it I would have been a bit confused as to what the game is actually about.
* Wussy lead-ins are bad. For example, instead of saying, "One of the best things about this game was..." and then saying it, just say it.
* Stay away from casual wording, abbreviations and slang ("&", "I was like...")
* You said you didn't like the multiplayer, and you thought it was so bad that it deserved an exceptionally low 2 out 10, which usually denotes fundamentally broken gameplay, bugs, etc. But you didn't really expound on the multiplayer at all. I didn't get any sense of why you didn't like it, how much time you put into it, etc. etc.
* Aaand lastly, be a little more mindful of grammar, spelling, and syntax. Paragraphs seem to break arbitrarily, capitalization appears out of nowhere, etc.
So, my humble advice. You seem like a young guy who's really enthusiastic, and you've got a healthy enough interest in writing reviews to give it two heartfelt tries here. That's good, that's really good. But at this stage of the game, I think you'd benefit more from spending a lot more time simply reading reviews. Go over to edge-online.com and read as many of their reviews as you can stand. They have exceptional writing over there. Think hard about the differences between your reviews here and the Edge reviews, and of course spend plenty of time reading reviews here. Pay attention to the structure, the concepts, the way ideas are articulated.
I also think it's a good idea to just brainstorm ideas for reviews. So instead of writing a whole coherent review from start to finish, just keep a Word document open or something and whenever a good idea or concept pops in your head, write it down. It doesn't matter if it has any connection with any of your other ideas. I've actually written most of my reviews by just basically writing whatever comes to mind, then gradually editing and organizing it. If you practice this, you'll start to get a better sense for what kinds of concepts work, and what doesn't.
RIP "littledoc"!

Re: Far Cry 2 - Rewrite
That's some great advice from Mike.
And let me compliment you on doing a re-write. So many people think you can write once and that's it. But editing is usually required, and it's admirable that you accepted the feedback and were willing to quickly turn around a rewritten doc.

I found the dual entry pockets, from "outside" or from the mesh compartment "inside" handy for situations where theres not much storage in your hotel/motel room. Construction seems solid, and its easy to manoeuvre around the airport and hotel.

This camera is easy to operate, does stills and/or mpg video. in water as well as on land. I had good results the first time I used it. For Diving the "optional" wide-angle lens is a must, especially in medium visibility situations. Night diving requires a modeling light, and Ill probably add an external flash.

- "A bastard boy with nothing to inherit, off to join the ancient order of the Night's Watch. Alongside his valiant brothers in arms..."
- ―Tyrion Lannister on Jon Snow
Jon Snow is a major character in the first and second seasons. He is played by starring cast member Kit Harington and debuts in the series premiere. Jon Snow is the bastard son of the late Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell. Jon is a steward in the Night's Watch. Now serving on the Wall, Jon has found a place of acceptance where the circumstances of his birth are of little importance. Jon has a pet direwolf named Ghost. He wields the bastard sword Longclaw, which was a gift from Lord Commander Jeor Mormont who sees Jon as a surrogate son.
Jon is the alleged bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell. Eddard is the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rule the region from their seat of Winterfell and Eddard also holds the title Lord of Winterfell. He is also the Warden of the North to King Robert Baratheon.[1]
The identity of his mother is the source of much speculation. Eddard once told King Robert Baratheon that Jon's mother is a serving girl named Wylla, but refused to elaborate any further. Jon himself has no knowledge of his mother.[2]
Jon was raised at Winterfell on an equal footing with Eddard's legitimate children. He has an older half-brother Robb, two younger half-sisters Sansa and Arya, and two younger half-brothers Bran and Rickon. Jon's presence at Winterfell is a source of friction between Eddard and his wife, Catelyn. Jon got on well with his half-siblings, particularly Robb and Arya.[3]
Season 1
Jon Snow and Robb instruct Bran in archery, when they learn about a captured deserter. Jon accompanies his father, Robb, Bran and Theon Greyjoy to the beheading of a deserter from the Night's Watch; it is Bran's first time seeing something like this and Jon praises Bran on his decorum afterwards. On their way back to Winterfell, they find a dead direwolf and six newborn pups. Jon talks Lord Eddard into allowing the young Starks to adopt them, he takes the runt of the litter, an albino, as his own, naming him Ghost. Treated coldly by his stepmother, Jon decides to approach his uncle Benjen and offer to join the Night's Watch.[4] He meets Tyrion Lannister, a dwarf who knows what it is like to be an outcast. Tyrion tells him to where the name "bastard" as a badge of honor so no one can hurt him with the word.
Jon has a run in with Jaime Lannister who thanks him for protecting all of them from the terrible things beyond the Wall, but really he was just making fun of Jon. Before Jon departs for the wall, he says goodbye to Bran, who has been injured in a fall. He gives Arya a sword named Needle that he had made especially for her, advising her to "Stick them with the pointy end." At their parting, Eddard vows to tell Jon the truth about his mother the next time they meet. Jon is travelling with Benjen and Tyrion Lannister, who has expressed a desire to see the Wall, and pee off of it, before he dies.[5]
At Castle Black, Jon's expectations of the Night's Watch are confounded. Instead of a brotherhood of noble warriors sworn to defend the realm from wildlings and White Walkers, he realizes the Watch is a dumping ground for criminals and wastrels. He earns the enmity of Ser Alliser Thorne, the Master-at-Arms in charge of training new recruits. He humiliates his fellow recruits with his superior fighting skills, learned from Winterfell's Master-at-Arms over the course of many years. Benjen stands with Jon on his first watch and tells him that he is going ranging North of the Wall. Jon is keen to accompany him but Benjen insists that he complete his training. Tyrion helps Jon see that he is no better than the recruits but has been afforded more advantages than them. Jon offers to train some of his new brothers and Pypar and Grenn accept.[6] He also befriends Samwell Tarly when he arrives at Castle Black and helps to protect him from the cruelty of Thorne. Thorne angrily tells Jon that going easy on Sam won't help him, and will risk getting him killed during the next winter.[7]
After completing his training, Jon is inducted into the Night's Watch and swears his oath. He is assigned to the stewards rather than the rangers, he thinks it is due to his ongoing feud with Ser Alliser Thorne. Sam points out that Lord Commander Jeor Mormont has asked for Jon as his personal steward, and may be grooming him for command. Jon is concerned when his Uncle Benjen's horse returns to the Wall riderless. Later, Ghost finds the corpses of two rangers assigned to Benjen, Othor and Ser Jafer Flowers.[8] Learning of Eddard's imprisonment in King's Landing, Thorne taunts Jon about being a traitor's bastard, causing Jon to draw a knife. He is restricted to quarters. Later, Othor's corpse becomes a wight and attacks Commander Mormont. Jon saves Mormont's life by burning the wight, earning a pardon for his earlier misdemeanour.[9] Mormont also gives Jon his Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw. Jon ponders abandoning the Watch to join Robb's army when it marches against the Lannisters, but Maester Aemon tells him that he chose to stay with the Watch when he was similarly tested, when Robert Baratheon's rebels slew his nephew the Mad King and his son and grandchildren.[10]
News of Eddard's execution reaches Castle Black. Jon immediately leaves, meaning to join Robb and seek vengeance for his father's death. Samwell, Pypar and Grenn intercept him and convince him to stay. Mormont tells Jon their war against the White Walkers is more important than the game of thrones in King's Landing. He tells Jon that the Watch is marching beyond the Wall in force, to find Benjen and learn the truth about the threat. Jon snwears to him not to attempt to desert again and accompanies the troops as they set out.[11]
Season 2
- Main: Jon Snow Season 2
Lord Commander Jeor Mormont prepares Jon for a command role as the Great Ranging travels North seeking Benjen Stark and an explanation for the wight attack. They pass through several abandoned wildling villages before arriving at the home of their unsavory ally Craster. Jon is perplexed when he learns that Craster marries his daughters but apparently has no sons. He takes an instant dislike to Craster when they meet with him. The feeling is mutual but Craster does reveal to Jeor that he has not seen Benjen and that the wildlings are gathering with their leader, King Beyond the Wall Mance Rayder. Jeor reprimands Jon for failing to follow his lead with Craster.[12]
Samwell Tarly appeals to Jon to aid Craster's pregnant daughter wife Gilly. She is afraid of having a son but will not say why. Jon is frustrated and refuses to disobey Jeor's order to leave Craster's wives alone. Jon sees Craster carrying a newborn into the woods and follows him. He sees Craster leave the child for a White Walker but does not recognize the creature. Craster spots him and knocks him out.[13] Craster disarms Jon and drags him back to his keep. He expels the rangers from his home. Jeor reveals that he knew that Craster was sacrificing his sons but chose to ignore it because of his usefulness as an ally.[14]
The rangers reach the ancient fortified peak known as the Fist of the First Men and await Qhorin Halfhand and his party from The Shadow Tower. When Qhorin arrives he suggests altering their tactics and using small groups to overcome Mance's lookouts in the Skirling Pass. Jon asks to join Qhorin's raiders and Jeor lets him go.[15]
Qhorin leads his men into the pass and they locate and ambush the wildling watchers. Jon realizes his opponent is a woman and hesitates to kill her. She introduces herself as Ygritte but does not give away details of Mance's plans. Qhorin leaves Jon alone to execute Ygritte. Jon is unable to do it and she escapes. He pursues and recaptures her but they become separated from Qhorin's group. Jon decides they cannot regroup with Qhorin due to the approaching night. Ygritte convinces Jon to sleep next to her to share body heat and keep warm, and then makes sexual advances towards him. Jon rejects the temptation to break his oath.[16]
As he unties Ygritte's legs to continue his search for the rest of the raiders, she tells him that she knows that he is a virgin. He uses some the rope that's binding her as a leash. As they walk, Ygritte questions Jon as to why the men of the Night's Watch hate the wildlings. She explains that they share the blood of the first men and just happened to be on the wrong side of the wall when it was built. She urges him to forget about his oath and live free. Another sexual advance from Ygritte prompts him to reach for his sword. She backs away and trips him with the rope when he's caught off guard. He pursues her but is ambushed and taken captive. Ygritte tells him that he should've took her when he had the chance.[17]
Ygritte brings Jon to the Lord of Bones and convinces him that Mance will want to question Jon. The Lord of Bones has a prisoner of his own; Qhorin. The Halfhand tells Jon that the rest of the men were killed while they searched for him. He urges Jon to make their deaths meaningful and become a spy within the wildling ranks. He then feigns anger with Jon until he is restrained after managing to knock Jon over.[18]
As they make their way to Mance, Ygritte continues to playfully mock Jon by tapping him on the head with the flat of his sword. Qhorin uses the distraction to advance his plan to portray Jon as a traitor to the Night's Watch. He attacks Jon and the Lord of Bones allows them to fight. Jon is initially reluctant until Qhorin calls his father a traitor and his mother a whore. Jon slays Qhorin, stunning Ygritte and the rest of the band. Qhorin whispers a line from the Night's Watch oath to Jon with his dying breath. Jon's hands are freed, and Ygritte leads him to the crest of the mountain to look over the massive wildling encampment.[19]

- "There's great honor serving in the Night's Watch. The Starks have manned the wall for thousands of years, and you are a Stark. You may not have my name, but you have my blood."
- ―Eddard Stark on Jon Snow
Behind the scenes
It was reported that Kit Harrington who played Jon Snow and Rose Leslie who played Ygritte were dating in real life when they were filming Game of Thrones.
In the books
In the Song of Ice and Firenovels, Jon is 14 years old when the story begins. Jon resembles his father with a lean build, long face, and gray eyes, more than any of his true-born children. He feels alienated from his family because of his bastard status. The enmity of Catelyn prevents him from feeling welcome, at the feast he as a bastard is made to sit at a far table. This and having more than he is used to to drink, coinciding with the visit by his uncle Benjen makes Jon realize that his future may lie outside Winterfell's walls. His uncle makes him mad by telling him to wait a few years before deciding, but when Eddard decides to go to King's Landing, Lady Catellyn says that Jon cannot stay at Winterfell if Eddard goes. She won't have him. When Maester Luwin brings up that Jon had told Benjen that wanted to join the Night Watch, Catelyn was very happy, adjoining the black meant that Jon could never claim titles or father children who would be rivals for her own. Eddard was sad to be losing Jon so soon, but accepted that he couldn't take him to court and taking the black would give him opportunities he wouldn't have elsewhere.
It is not Tyrion who tells Jon to stop acting superior to the other recruits, in the book that is Donal Noye, a former blacksmith who works in the armory. Ser Alliser was a staunch defender of the Targaryens, and was given the choice of the Wall or death, after Robert's Rebellion. He hates his job in general and Eddard Stark in particular. This is why he insults all the recruits, but especially Jon. When Eddard Stark is arrested as a traitor, he can barely conceal his glee.
When Qhorin Halfhand's men attack the the wildling lookouts, Jon kills one, but hesitates killing the other when he realizes Ygritte is a woman. Jon says they can question her, but they don't learn much. Jon is sent by Qhorin to kill her, instead he let's her go (unarmed and alone, but with at least a chance to find her own kind). Jon returns to the Night Watch and says he killed Ygritte. Later he confesses that he let her go, Qhorin isn't too worried and says it was a test to learn what Jon would do. The ranging goes badly they are pursued and tracked, losing horses and men until only Jon and Qhorin are left. He asks Jon first if his sword is sharp, then tells him that when they are caught, Jon is to defect to the wildlings. Do whatever they ask of you to prove yourself to them: take any oath, burn your cloak, curse your leaders, etc. When captured, Qhorin goes berserk when Jon asks to join the wildlings and attacks him. Ghost helps Jon to win by biting Qhorin. As he is falling Halfhand says that the sword was sharp, and Jon realizes that he had meant to die to get Jon accepted by the wildlings.
Jon was apparently named after Jon Arryn, Eddard Stark's great friend and ally. Eddard fostered with Jon Arryn, and considered him to be like a second father to him.

ELKHART — One more chance.
That's the word from Elkhart Economic Development Director Barkley Garrett Thursday after he recommended the city delay a final decision on the future of the Armory building.
The redevelopment commission met in special meeting Thursday, May 23, anticipating a recommendation from Garrett on two proposals to renovate the dilapidated Armory at 200 N. Main St. in downtown Elkhart.
Garrett was expected to either choose one of the development plans or suggest the city commence immediately with plans to demolish the building.
The city was looking at plans by Cripe Design of Elkhart and David R. Snyder of South Bend.
Garrett told the redevelopment commission both proposals lacked financial details and the city wants to give them one more chance to provide details.
Both plans lacked an anticipated cost figure to renovate and information about financing, he said.
Because of the historical nature of the building, officials want to provide every chance for it to be saved.
"We want to make sure this is not a rushed decision," Garrett said.
Part of the concern in the lack of financial details is that the city wants to make sure the groups have the financial wherewithal to complete the project, he said.
Such an outlook, though, shouldn't be viewed as a concern that they could not undertake the project, he said.
City officials have pushed an aggressive schedule in hopes of deciding the fate of the building quickly because part of the roof has collapsed and the west side of the building appears somewhat unstable. Traffic on Main Street near the property has been restricted.
Cripe proposes either a single use or multiple use project involving office space, retail or possibly a restaurant or bar. Snyder said he envisions housing a grocery store on the first floor and luxury apartments on the second floor. The city has expressed a willingness to provide up to $175,000 to the winning bidder to put toward the project. That figure represents the estimated cost of demolition.
The redevelopment commission normally meets in the early part of each month. No date for the new deadline was mentioned Thursday.
Garrett said he does not foresee any further delays once the 30-day period is reached.
"This is it," he said.

Silver Spring, Maryland (June 25, 2007) – MSN.com has offset the emissions of its Windows Live Spaces Eco Trip (http://www.liveearth.msn.com) through a partnership with the non-profit Carbonfund.org Foundation. A four-member team is currently riding from Seattle to New York by train, bikes and a high efficiency vehicle to meet up with farmers, green businesses and other friends to raise awareness about Global Climate Change. Their well documented trip, (which can be viewed at http://spacesecotrip.spaces.live.com/) terminates at the New York Live Earth 07 concert on July 7. This practical step highlights MSN.com's commitment to be a leader in the fight against global warming and highlights the values of Live Earth.
"Carbonfund.org commends MSN.com's commitment to reduce what carbon emissions they can through high-efficiency modes of transportation and offsetting the rest," said Carbonfund.org executive director Eric Carlson. "MSN.com's Eco Trip illustrates a commitment by the private sector to make the problem of climate change a priority and epitomizes Carbonfund.org's motto: Reduce what you can; offset what you can't."
Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent series of 9 concerts taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to inspire a global movement to "Answer the Call" and combat the climate crisis.
Live Earth will provide over 100 simple actions and tools that, if applied on a mass scale, will have a massive impact on combating the climate crisis. More importantly, Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection and other international NGOs to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance for Climate Protection and Partner of Live Earth.
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant. By supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects Carbonfund.org will retire an equivalent amount of carbon offsets. The financial support from these offsets will then help to continue the development of clean, renewable domestic sources of energy.
About Carbonfund.org
Carbonfund.org is the country's leading carbon reduction and offset organization. Carbonfund.org educates the public about the dangers of climate change and makes it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce their climate impact. Carbonfund.org is reducing the threat of climate change by promoting cost-effective carbon reductions and supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects globally that reduce and offset carbon dioxide emissions. Carbonfund.org works with over 200 corporate and non-profit partners including the National Wildlife Federation, Dell, Orbitz, Lancome, Ovation Travel Group and Working Assets.
About Microsoft

This is undisputably the best music video ever. Not quite the best song ever, but the video is sublime. Capturing the 70s gritty cop action never looked so hilarious.
Side Note: All the action and car scenes are done in unregulated traffic. There'd be people signaling when the cars should roll and crossing fingers that no accidents would happen.

News Analysis
By Sheila Regan
Contributing Writer
How do varying cultural backgrounds affect the need for and the value of early education? What we're missing, said Betty Emarita at a February 8 forum on early childhood education, is data-driven discussions. While there's data on community trauma, "There's little data
on family strengths, especially in low-income communities."
Betty Emarita grew up in a tiny village in North Carolina, which had a combined elementary, junior high and high school. It was a very poor area, and the African Americans living in the community were mostly farming as sharecroppers. "Most girls dropped out of school by the eighth grade," she said. Continue Reading →

Hopkins followed up with "Judgment Night" (1993), a dark action film starring Denis Leary and Emilio Estevez. "Blown Away" (1994) was a conventional thriller about a terrorist on the loose in Boston, while "The Ghost and the Darkness" (1996) was a based-on-fact period piece about and engineer and a big game hunter who track the titular rampaging lions.

Cool. Guess we could also design a fake board game map with this.
Hi guys and gals, this month's challenge is to create a regional hex map suitable for a hexcrawl style campaign. The hexcrawl mechanic was a mainstay of fantasy role playing games during the early days of the hobby but largely fell out of use by most gamers somewhere in the 90s. One of the many fruitful projects of the OSR movement has been to resurrect and breathe new life into this venerable form of game play. That said, by the admission of many within the OSR community, the typical hex map is somewhat lackluster. These maps tend to be functional rather than artistic, and while some enjoy this Spartan aesthetic the goal of this challenge is to create a more artistic hex map which ideally preserves the functionality of the hexcrawl mechanics. To that end, each entry must contain each of the following:
1) A numbering system for each of the hexes;
2) Symbols or drawings of "known" cities, towers, keeps, monster lairs, dungeons or other places of interest;*
3) A Map key (which should include a scale indicating the size of each hex);
* These should each fit within a single hex.
Other optional things which you may but need not add include: an Encounter Table, a Hex Key offering a title and/or short description of the contents of some or all of the hexes. Depending on how much interest there is, this month's challenge could lead into a followup challenge in June based on the winning entry.
Title each new thread May 2013 Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The challenge will end on or around the 31st of May, and the winner will receive a golden compass, and the envy of your peers.
If you are unfamiliar with the hexcrawl trope, Justin Alexander has a wonderful 10-part series of blog posts on the topic here. Looking for a way to create a hex-grid? There is a discussion at the Guild on that here.

Oh i like Games like Settlers of Catan and Twilight Imperium. They use hexfields to randomise a Map each game.
That's an excellent blog resource for those of us who don't know the design elements and layout of gaming maps. I was just wishing for such a resource the other day, but I don't know the terminology well enough to do a proper search. Thanks Arsheesh!
And I am so tempted to join in this month, but I have to finish a few other projects first
well i say fake as in unlikely to be used on a real published game

Last year I started a game project called Teramorphers. The idea is a game that combines Civilization, Magic and other strategy game, all in a hexagonal board. I had some good ideas, but got lazy and quickly demotivated since I had no one to discuss or develop the game. Whit this thread I saw an opportunity to revive the project! The problem is, there would be pre-generated maps, but the main idea relies on 2 players Morphing the terrain so that it works with the player strategy. My idea for the contest is to simulate a game between two players, and how they could change the terrain, create buildings and manage troops. And the final map having a little more polish than the other ones, but the entire process would matter more than the final map.
So the question is, could this project fit in this particular Challenge?
Thank you guys!
My Gallery on DA:
Seems lot of us like it to go the Boardgame direction, which is not the same As a hexcrawl map.
Also with movable tiles of Hex in a boardgame there would be no consistent map, but his idea to create a " active running Game Session" could Be a Solution.
How would this be possible?

Gavin Degraw Concert Tickets
Deep soul, pop and rock are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing Gavin DeGraw's music and in his less than ten years of fame; this singer-songwriter/musician has made a big impact on the face of pop music. Springing about during a time when pop had reached an all time low, Gavin DeGraw's music has presented a fresh, original and completely artistic take on modern pop rock.
Gavin DeGraw concerts began at age 8, when he played piano and sang in front of his prison guard father and detox specialist mother in South Fallsburg, NY. DeGraw would go on to attend the Berklee College of Music with John Mayer and perform in clubs throughout Manhattan. Producers of the show One Tree Hill would hear about Gavin DeGraw concerts through word of mouth giving him a chance with his breakthrough track "I Don't Want to Be," which would become the show's theme song. Song's off his first studio album Chariot would hit radio waves, causing a stir when Gavin DeGraw tickets went on sale.
Since then, Gavin DeGraw tickets have been one of the most sought-after items for breakthrough artists and Gavin Draw tours have hit almost every state in the US. Gavin DeGraw has performed on Last Call with Carson Daly, The Tonight Show, The Late Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, Dead Like Me, What I Like About You and American Dreams. The Gavin DeGraw tour schedule has included artists like the Allman Brothers Band, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5.
Gavin DeGraw tickets have only become more popular with time, as the releases of soulful yet edgy tracks like "In Love with a Girl," "Cheated On Me" and "She Holds The Key" have tugged on that hearts of fans throughout the country at Gavin DeGraw concerts. Gavin DeGraw recently released his third studio album "Free" in March 2009 and to promote the album, which People Magazine says "gets back to his soulful essence," DeGraw is hitting the road again with an extensive Gavin DeGraw tour schedule.
