a minor niggle - but you use the word often:

Usage Note: Complement and compliment, though quite distinct in meaning, 
are sometimes confused because they are pronounced the same. As a noun, 
complement means �something that completes or brings to perfection� (The 
antique silver was a complement to the beautifully set table); used as a 
verb it means �to serve as a complement to.� The noun compliment means �an 
expression or act of courtesy or praise� (They gave us a compliment on our 
beautifully set table), while the verb means �to pay a compliment to.�

just making sure you are using the 'e' form intentionally.
