There are many choices when it comes to skin care but when it comes to luxury and results, Z. Bigatti takes the prize. The company was founded by Frenchman Zizo Attia after observing the frustration of women unable to find products that truly make a difference in their skin. Attia's goal was to develop a line of products that could tackle all of the skin's needs including repairing, protecting and nourishing. After years of work with an expert chemist, Z. Bigatti products were introduced to the market for everyone to enjoy.
Z Bigatti skin care was born from Olignutrients/Nano technology. This allows for active ingredients to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin in order to produce real results. Many brands use inactive ingredients which simply sit on top of the skin and do little else. Z Bigatti is loaded with highly effective ingredients that maintain their potency throughout the manufacturing process. This ensures top quality formulations that will give you real results. Choose from a variety of products including cleansers, exfoliators, toners and a wide selection of treatment products for specialized usage.
More than 15 years ago, Z. Bigatti emerged on the market, offering a new approach to skin care for those who truly wanted healthier complexions. To create the finest line of skin care products the world had ever seen, Attia brought together a team of scientists and skin care experts who understood the underlying causes of dermatological concerns. By formulating products specifically to halt or overcome these processes, the team created a skincare collection that offers truly unparalleled results for the health and appearance of the skin.
All Z. Bigatti skin care products are formulated to work upon the middle and lower layers of skin, where the ingredients in topical products are most needed. The middle layer of skin is where damage caused by free radicals is most evident, as it is in this zone where weakness in the collagen network that supports the skin leaves the tissue more vulnerable to wrinkling. The lowest layer of skin is the newest and healthiest tissue and requires nutrition to remain as beautiful as possible as it moves toward the surface and becomes visible.
To ensure that every formula can deliver results for the hidden layers of skin, Z. Bigatti products are made up of nanoparticles. These very tiny molecules retain all of the beneficial properties of large molecules but are especially easy for the skin to absorb. The result is skin nourishment at every layer of tissue and remarkable results. Discover the difference for yourself by shopping the Z. Bigatti collection.

Mavic Campagnolo 11 Speed Spacer $0.00
Campy surprised the bike world when they introduced their 11-speed shifting system. One day it didn't exist; the next it was there. This sudden change caught wheel manufacturers off-guard. In many cases they had to do something so the new 11-speed cassette would fit on the 10-speed cassette body without having the tallest cog hitting either the flange or the spokes. Most came up with a simple solution. A very simple solution.
Mavic's solution is a .55mm spacer that goes between the flange on the inside edge of the cassette body and the cassette. This moves the tallest cog just far enough so neither the cog nor the chain nor the rear derailleur is hitting the drive side spokes.
This .55mm spacer will work with all their Campagnolo-compatible 10-speed cassette bodies. That body is referred to in Mavicland as FTS-L (Force Transfer System-Light) ED-10. Actual weight is 2g.

ATLANTA (WXIA)-- Do you know what a hipster is?
If you want to find out, a trip to Little Five Points might be your best bet, according to a list by Forbes Magazine. The website recently ranked the Atlanta neighborhood 16th among the nation's top hipster areas.
The list was compiled based on a neighborhood's walkability, along with number of coffee shops, locally owned businesses and people with "artistic occupations," among other factors.
The article cites Java Lords and Aurora Coffee shops as some of Little Five Points' unique features, along with the annual Halloween festival.

(Varanus giganteus)
Perenties are the biggest monitor lizard in Australia, reaching lengths of 2 metres or more. Perenties display a forked tongue, long slender neck, flattened head, strong tail, powerful legs with 5 clawed toes and numerous sharp-curved backward-pointing teeth.
Perenties can be found living in arid regions from Western Queensland to coastal Western Australia, usually around rocky hills and outcrops. They can also be seen finding shelter in burrows which they dig with their powerful front legs and claws. These shelters can be extensive and have several escape exits.
Perenties are very efficient predators. They forage widely on turtle eggs, insects, birds, other reptiles (including juvenile Perenties), mammals and carrion. On some of the islands they are often seen scavenging on the beaches for carrion, turtle eggs and almost anything that moves!
The female Perentie will lay around six to twelve eggs in termite mounds where the activity of the insects provides constant warmth. The brightly coloured young will hatch around nine to three months later.
Perentie Profiles
Sex: Male
Esperence is one of our male sub-adult Perenties and was born here at the Zoo. He has been raised around plenty of people, making him a very friendly lizard. Esperence used to be a part of our Wandering Wildlife program but is too big now so he shares an enclosure with two younger Perenties. Perenties are carnivorous and Esperence's favourite time is feed time.
Age: 16 Years (DOB 30/11/1999)
Sex: Female
Penny hatched at Australia Zoo in June 1996. She is a gorgeous Perentie who absolutely loves eating rats.
Penny lives on display at the Zoo with Pete, our male Perentie. Out of the two, Penny is the most dominant and she doesn't let Pete get away with anything.
Penny enjoys sun-baking, sun-baking and sleeping in the sun.

Smell the Coffee: Sage sayings soothe and support
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In the long competition between my house and my car for a much-coveted prize (my sanity), the car finally won. It was rewarded with a trip to the auto auction, and I'm now driving a great little 2005 Jeep Liberty.
Still, it's been an unusually rough year, and in the days leading up to my old car's departure, I ran across two sayings that felt as though they had been written specifically for me.
The first: "She's standing on a line between giving up and seeing how much more she can take."
And the second: "Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all, or by having everything happen all at once."
With me, it's having everything happen all at once, and I frequently find myself wobbled by the overwhelming number of things that need taken care of at the same time. Problems seldom come single file. They join hands and travel en masse.
It's funny the comfort I can find in quotes during times like these. It's more than just the sage advice; it's knowing that someone else apparently went through something similar, yet made it through. I mean, they couldn't have written about it if they hadn't.
Although each of the quotes that follow aren't totally wise, all have spent at least a little time with me during the past few months (I've included attribution when I was able to track down where the quote originally came from):
"When things aren't adding up in your life, start subtracting."
"Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it." -- John Mayer
"There's no way around grief and loss. You can dodge all you want, but sooner or later, you just have to go into it, through it, and hopefully come out on the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left." -- Johnny Cash
"Leap and the net will appear."
"If you stumble, make it part of the dance."
"Only boring people are bored."
"Instead of thinking outside of the box, get rid of the box." -- Deepak Chopra
"You laugh. I laugh. You cry. I cry. You jump off a really tall cliff. I yell, 'Do a flip!'"
"You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you."
"I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question."
"People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours."
"Discipline is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, when we don't want to do it."
"I do believe it's time for another adventure."
And finally, "Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself."

(Warsaw, Poland) - The following statement on Trafficking in Human Beings was delivered by the United States at the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation currently being held in Warsaw, Poland:
The U.S. Delegation is pleased to join in this discussion about the importance of both regional and government to civil society cooperation in combating trafficking in human beings. My delegation commends the OSCE for dedicating an entire day to human trafficking. This presents a strategic opportunity to substantially increase our collective cooperation among the OSCE participating States. Our goals and strategies should be simple and practical – namely, to rescue and protect victims, prevent further victimization, and prosecute traffickers, throughout the OSCE region.
I am the Senior Advisor to Secretary Powell and Director of the U.S. Department of State's anti-trafficking office, known as the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. This office promotes coordination of the U.S. Government's anti-trafficking efforts, empowered by congressional legislation known as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. As we implement this law, we see the need for cooperation from the highest levels of government to local NGOs through practical initiatives at every level. Simply put, the traffickers are strategically organized at every level, and we must be, too.
The criminal practice of trafficking is inherently transnational, requiring a continuous, international engagement with foreign governments and indigenous NGOs regionally. I believe that we will increase our effectiveness in proportion to which we think and act regionally. In other words, governments must think beyond their borders when it comes to trafficking, because traffickers do.
Don't get me wrong. The responsibility to combat human trafficking – which also entails fulfilling OSCE commitments - lies first and foremost with the individual governments of each participating State. Towards that end, let me share with you some practical steps the U.S. Government is taking to combat this international scourge. For example, my office produces an annual report focusing on governmental efforts worldwide to prevent trafficking, aid trafficking victims and punish perpetrators through responsive legal frameworks and law enforcement.
Congress sought to create the strongest tool possible to direct international attention to the trafficking phenomenon. Countries may be subject to sanctions next year if they do not make serious and sustained efforts to meet minimum standards to combat trafficking. Specifically, our 2002 report issued in June identifies twenty OSCE participating States that are not yet meeting minimum standards in combating trafficking. Unfortunately, many States are lacking in the implementation of their OSCE commitments to combat trafficking, as this report reflects.
The OSCE is uniquely situated to address the multi-dimensional problem of trafficking in persons, and we must fully embrace the opportunity presented by this gathering. Failing this regional cooperation, we will not succeed and the traffickers will prevail. The good news is that many governments are beginning do this already and deserve commendation for their vision, commitment and creativity.
Regional sharing of resources and best practices is vital. The United States will continue to contribute funds, resources and ideas to help you in your fight, because it is our fight, too. We receive your citizens, who are brought to our shores as trafficking victims and we must work together to see them freed.
There are many things we can do now, together. For example, we can create a repository for documents, models and ideas. ODIHR is strategically placed to serve as this coordinating body for all OSCE participating States. Also, the United States encourages all governments to utilize ODIHR's extensive legislative resources, including "Legislation On-line" which was created for both government and non-government actors. States should also give ODIHR copies of legislation and other anti-trafficking materials in local languages to help others design similar tools. Also, States with an OSCE field presence can engage those offices as resources for legal and judicial reform and police training.
As representatives of governments, we must join with and seek out opportunities to empower NGOs. At the most practical level, governmental bureaucracies may be unable to provide the long-term, personal assistance that victims need to recover physically and emotionally from their trauma. By contrast, specialized NGOs are often best suited to these demands, particularly those attuned to the spiritual and cultural background of the victim. Certain governments with limited resources have bolstered anti-trafficking efforts by providing in-kind assistance to NGOs or international organizations, such as office space in a government-owned building. Even modest help can go a long way to empowering NGOs.
In the United States, the Department of Justice has written and is disseminating a guidebook for NGOs which describes the problem of trafficking in human beings, explains the anti-trafficking law, and identifies government resources available to assist victims of trafficking. In addition, the anti-trafficking office at the Department of State meets regularly with NGOs to exchange information on anti-trafficking activities.
There are additional ways for States to empower NGO cooperation. First, sexual exploitation or forced labor laws must be clearly established in domestic law, before NGOs can truly do their job properly. We have seen much progress on this front over the past year where a number of countries are working on new or improved anti-trafficking legislation and victim protections. We hope to see such measures promptly enacted and faithfully implemented, in all source, transit and destination countries throughout the OSCE region. The United States again calls on all participating States to pass legislation to criminalize trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labor, accompanied by appropriately strong penalties.
Then, once enacted, law enforcement authorities must be made aware of the law and properly trained to implement it at national and local levels. Civil society can play an important role at this juncture by informing traumatized victims who do not understand their legal options and who may distrust authority figures. Yet that same traumatized victim may be emboldened to talk with law enforcement officers after support from a compassionate and knowledgeable NGO representative who is looking out for the best interest of the victim.
Finally, I want to mention the importance of information gathering and uniform data collection. Reliable data is the best baseline from which to make policy and practical decisions on trafficking. In the past year, the Romanian Government, despite a dearth of resources, expended significant effort toward data collection with impressive results. We encourage other OSCE States to initiate aggressive, government-sponsored data collection efforts, particularly Croatia, Greece and Turkey.
Session on Advocacy and Assistance: Promoting and Ensuring the Rights Trafficked Persons
For countries of destination for trafficked persons, the question of ensuring the rights of trafficked persons may be the most difficult aspect of addressing the human trafficking issue. Governments may be properly concerned that benefits for trafficking victims will not reach the most vulnerable, and instead, may be abused by those merely seeking to migrate illegally. Putting this concern to rest depends on implementing reliable systems of victim identification, as discussed in the morning session. This, in turn, instills confidence that precious resources go to the true victims.
At the Berlin Conference, experienced anti-slavery advocates argued that without appropriate prevention and protection measures, the "rescued" victim is likely to fall back into desperate straits. U.S. policy reflects this understanding. While prosecutors in the United States have begun seeking indictments under the new anti-trafficking law, the federal government is also funding programs to protect and assist victims during the prosecution cycle. New requirements include victim access to legal information and translation services, and training for government officials responsible for these cases.
There are two priority issues the U.S. Delegation wishes to stress, in light of the OSCE commitments on victim protection. First, upon identifying a person as a victim of trafficking, the Vienna Ministerial Decision commitments require that they must not face prosecution solely because they have been trafficked and lack legal immigration status. Protection from prosecution should be clearly stated in all legal codes. We are concerned that in some countries, particularly Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, and Turkey, victims of trafficking continue to be subject to criminal sanctions for illegal border crossings or prostitution which resulted from having been trafficked. All participating States must screen potential victims before prosecutions or deportations.
Second, the United States urges OSCE participating States to fulfill their Vienna Ministerial commitment to "consider adopting legislative or other appropriate measures . . . which permit victims of trafficking in persons to remain in the [country], temporarily or permanently in appropriate cases." We recognize the complex political considerations at issue with temporary residence permits for victims of trafficking in countries of destination. Many concerns were voiced in the United States when legislation was under consideration to create a new status for trafficking victims.
The so-called "T-visa" ultimately enacted into U.S. law for trafficking victims reflects a compromise of these concerns which still offers refuge for those who qualify. In the United States, a victim of trafficking is eligible to remain in the United States if he or she "would suffer extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm upon removal." If the victim is more than 15 years old, the issuance of this immigration status is also tied to a victim's compliance with "any reasonable request for assistance in the investigation or prosecution of acts of trafficking." The regulations needed to grant the new status were introduced in January of this year. There have been a number of applicants for this status already and visas are being issued to qualified applicants. The application form used to apply for the T-visa is available on the internet. http://www.ins.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-914.htm. We encourage other delegations to consider adopting similar measures.

Well I have started to attempt to integrate ZCS with MailScanner and so far so good ... I have installed Postfix and MS on a front-end server and have querying ZCS for valid domains, mailboxes and aliases in real time via LDAP.
Junking emails via ZCS also updates a shared MySQL Bayes store.
Next part is to write a LDAP hook for the Black/White listing and allow ZCS account access to MailWatch for quarantine work.

Jesse Stanchak wrote recently at SmartBrief's Smart Blog on Social Media about the growth of the mobile market and what it means to marketers and PR people. Jesse says that aiming your news at mobile users is less of a small, tactical change to the industry and more a revision of entire strategies, much like the advent of broadcasting changed things in the past.
It makes sense. Never before have consumers of information been more in charge of when, where and how they get it. Going forward, successful marketers are going to have to make information available in a format and through channels that reach consumers everywhere. Not just at home or in the car, and not just on TV or radio, but on game consoles, on phones, on netbooks . . . on pretty much anything.
Take a look at the expected growth of mobile internet devices over the next few years. The 3G smartphone market alone, which includes iPhones, Blackberries, Droids and other devices, grew 42% from 2008 to 2009. And as Adam Cahill notes, "We're talking about a fundamental shift in how people access the Web and, presumably, a corresponding shift in what they do once they get there."
So while you're tailoring your strategy for mobile web users, we'll help you deliver it: Along with our new mobile-optimized site, we now deliver your news to mobile devices everywhere via multiple channels. And keep an eye out for more exciting Business Wire Mobile news coming in the next several weeks.

MOUNT VERNON, Va. (WUSA9) -- The FBI are looking for a suspect in connection to a bank robbery in Va.
The suspect went to the TD Bank at 6615 Richmond Highway around 11:00 a.m., demanded money and left an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
The robber has been dubbed 'Beacon Hill Bandit' and the FBI believe has may be responsible for robbing a bank four times between March 2010 and July 2013, all of which happened at the TD Bank on 6615 Richmond Highway in Alexandria.
The suspect is described as a black male, 6 feet tall, wearing a yellow work vest, yellow pants and blue and gray ball cap. He could also possibly be driving a white, four-door car, police said.
The FBI is offering up to $5,000 for any information that leads to his identification, arrest and conviction. Anyone with information is advised to call Police at 703-691-2131.

text: I agree with Old Hunter. Don't pick CO to chase points, it will take you a long time (15-20+years) for top units. Instead pick a couple states and start building points, burn them every 2-5 years and you will have a quality hunt. First you need to get experience, if you just build points for 10 yrs and think because the unit is good you will hike in and find big elk you could get very disappointed. I would recommend getting the hunting experiences started and you can learn from there. OTC gets you hunting now, and will also put elk hunting the rockies into perspective. You can still buy a point for Wyoming, this is a good state to start accumulating for b/c of the elk and the affordability of not having to put in for a tag.

I use nothing but Nosler bullets but know there are a lot of really good bullets out there. Here are some of my favorites! What do you guys use and like?
6mm Remington: 100 gr. Nosler Partition, Will try the Nosler 90 gr. Accubonds if I can ever find some on the shelves. My son's 6mm uses the 90 gr. E-tip and I've sure been impressed with that bullet. He's taken a couple antelope, and nice mule deer buck, and this year a really nice cow elk at 350 yards with one shot! I have shot one spike bull with my 6mm and the Partition bullet, again one shot. Lots of deer and antelope with this one.
25-06: 120 gr. Nosler Partition but I'm going to play with the new 110 gr. Accubond as I think it's a great bullet and is really a flat shooter. Several deer and antelope with the 25-06 & the Partition plus one spike bull.
280 Remington: 140 gr. Accubond or Partition Deer, antelope, elk all with the 140 gr. Partition. I made a mistake and sold that rifle and need to get another 280 really badly!
30-06: 165 gr. Accubond or Partition Lots of deer, antelope, elk, and a black bear.

I love it. This is going straight into my inspiration folder. Repped and Rated.
The map depicts a fantasy country called Oakfall, a religious-throwback monarchy with a shifty priest race, twin heirs to the throne and vassals with crumbly-loyalty. The setting is mostly low/dark fantasy, the priest race being the only non-human humanoid or sentient race (and they look almost exactly human). Surrounded by countries of more 'contemporary', uniform religion, Oakfall returned to a feral, chthonic form of faith guided by the Priests of Nogur. Under the blessing of their demon-god, the kingdom is abundant in wealth and peace, atleast until the second heir is too qualified --too loved-- to be ignored, and wants more than he probably should.
This is the second map project I attempted, the first one had scaling issues and was abandoned. This one also took awhile to finish, mostly because it got forgotten out of negligence and/or frustration. Cartography is harder and requires more work than I initially (naively) expected, but still very interesting and I learned a lot from everyone here.
Heres hoping the next map will be better and finished faster!

Different type of food offered at Moringa Tree Cafe
Marshall V. King
Dining A La King
Jenny Rusnell doesn't want to feed you the way most people would.
Many restaurants and places that put food into packages add fat and sugar to make sure that you'll like it.
Rusnell wants it to taste good, but she also wants to make sure your body likes it and knows what to do with it.
That's how Elkhart has The Moringa Tree Organic Cafe.
She opened April 1, expecting to have a place to teach people about natural foods and body care. But the cafe has been busier than she expected and she's had less time to teach. "I thought I'd be more of a nutrition place than a restaurant," she said.
But after she opened at 300 E. Jackson Blvd., Elkhart, where Heavenly Brew Cafe was before, she saw a lot of people quickly become regular customers, drinking smoothies and juice.
The menu has gluten-free, raw and vegan options. She's making food from scratch and even making her own sourdough bread and pizza crust.
Snacks, salads, sandwiches and soup are put together with health and flavor in mind. She said she's a foodie and wants what she serves to be healthy and taste good.
Rusnell has gone from being the bartender specializing in shots at Harrison Landing to having an organic cafe. After her brother died of leukemia and she had a car accident, she began studying nutrition and medical massage. And she changed what she ate and drank.
"I looked at my life and I changed everything I was doing," she said. She gave up sugar, alcohol and processed foods about two years ago. Detoxing wasn't fun, particularly while she still worked as a bartender at The Vine, but her health changed. "I've never felt the way I do now," she said. She gets energy from her food. And I'll just say that she sort of glows and exudes energy.
"It's so nice to eat and feel good," she said.
She knows how to eat clean and teach others to do so. But soap is clean as well and natural food not made with care can taste like it.
Rusnell knows how to balance flavor and health well.
A pizza with chicken, black beans, real (not soy) cheese and salsa, plus that sourdough crust, had a lot of flavor. Her grilled cheese served on bread made with sprouted flour with raw cheddar, pesto and moringa powder also has a lot of good flavor.
The bean burger she's making and serving is a good one. It's vegan and served with a variety of toppings ($10).
If you go up the street to McDonald's, an employee couldn't tell you what's in what you're eating. At Moringa, that's much of the point. She's washing organic produce with filtered water. There isn't a microwave in the place.
The appliances that get a workout are the juicer and blender.
Juicing — turning fruits and vegetables into a drink, not taking performance-enhancing drugs — is a national trend and turning into big business, according to a New York Times story.
At Moringa Tree, Rusnell and her employees will churn out combinations of carrot, kale and celery juice, using fruit to add more sweetness.
The list of smoothies focuses on "superfood," which means they have powders and supplements as well as using organic ingredients and raw honey or sugar. The Funky Monkey is a nice mix of banana, avocado, peanut butter, chocolate almond milk, moringa powder, maca powder, protein powder and raw sugar.
Moringa is powder from a plant called "the tree of life" in many cultures, according to Rusnell. It's full of nutrients and Rusnell touts it for balancing her blood sugar and other health fixes. So far, customers are listening. In addition to what she's using in drinks or food, she sold 100 pounds of it in her first month of business.
Food isn't cheap at Moringa Tree Cafe, but you know what you're getting. It's organic and Rusnell will be happy to tell you not only how it was made, but why it was made that way.
That comes with a cost. I don't know whether there are enough people to sustain a business that is offering $7 smoothies and $8 loaves of sourdough bread. But I hope so.
We want to eat healthy and try, but someone like Rusnell can help us learn how to do it better. No matter how often a customer shows up, they're unlikely to get every meal from The Moringa Tree Cafe. If she shows them how to eat better, they're likelier to come more often and work on changes at home, too.
Other businesses who are selling similar food, such as Maple City Market in Goshen and Nature's Alternatives on the east side of Elkhart, are selling a broader array of items in addition to prepared food. I'm not sure whether Rusnell will have to do that or not.
She plans on adding punch cards to reward regular customers and is adding more grab-and-go items, as well dinner items to go. She may add some smoothies that don't use as much of the superfood items and thus, would be less expensive.
She wants to get out and do more education events in the community or at local businesses. But it's difficult to do that when the line at your cafe is longer than you expected.
At Harrison Landing and The Vine, customers went to see Rusnell. They'll likely do it at The Moringa Tree Cafe, too. That likely means they'll eat healthier. We could also use that.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.

In what situations does humanitarian law apply? For whom is it intended and who does it protect?
Extract from ICRC publication "International humanitarian law: answers to your questions"
International humanitarian law is applicable in two situations; that is to say, it offers two systems of protection:
a) International armed conflicts In such situations the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I apply.
Humanitarian law is intended principally for the parties to the conflict and protects every individual or category of individuals not or no longer actively involved in the conflict, i.e.:
wounded or sick military personnel in land warfare, and members of the armed forces'medical services;
wounded, sick or shipwrecked military personnel in naval warfare, and members of the naval forces'medical services;
prisoners of war;
the civilian population, for example:
foreign civilians on the territory of parties to the conflict, including refugees;
civilians in occupied territories;
civilian detainees and internees;
medical and religious personnel or civil defence units.
Wars of national liberation, as defined in Article 1 of Protocol I, are classified as international armed conflicts . b) Non-international armed conflicts
In the event of a non-international conflict, Article 3 common to the four Conventions and Protocol II apply.
It should be noted that the conditions of application of Protocol II are stricter than those provided for by Article 3 . In such situations, humanitarian law is intended for the armed forces, whether regular or not, taking part in the conflict, and protects every individual or category of individuals not or no longer actively involved in the hostilities, for example:
wounded or sick fighters;
people deprived of their freedom as a result of the conflict;
the civilian population;
medical and religious personnel.
Humanitarian law and non-international armed conflicts.
Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions is regarded as a sort of treaty in miniature . Even including the provisions of Protocol II, the rules on internal armed conflicts remain less complete than those dealing with international armed conflicts. It has proven difficult to strengthen the system of protection in non-international armed conflicts in the face of the principle of State sovereignty.
The rules contained in Article 3 are considered as customary law and represent a minimum standard from which the belligerents should never depart.
What law applies to internal disturbances and other situations of internal violence?
International humanitarian law does not apply to situations of violence not amounting in intensity to an armed conflict. Cases of this type are governed by the provisions of human rights law and such measures of domestic legislation as may be invoked.

UNDATED (USAToday.com) - Get ready for a 62-gun salute, let the fireworks and street parties commence: The royal baby has arrived, and it's a boy.
Prince William and Duchess Kate's first baby, a future monarch, was born today at 4:24 pm local time in London's private St. Mary's Hospital, the palace announced. The announcement said the baby weighed 8.6 pounds, and William was present for the birth.
The name was not immediately announced and may not be known for up to a week.
The news was supposed to be first announced in the traditional manner, on fancy paper with a Buckingham Palace letterhead on an easel at the palace front gates. But it was dark by the time the birth came, so the palace sent out an electronic press release first. The press release and the news went up on the royal Twitter feed and websites, proclaimed from every TV and computer screen in the country.
But great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II was the first to get the news from her grandson, by encrypted phone to the palace, and just in time, too. She's scheduled to leave on her annual vacation at her Balmoral estate in Scotland at the end of this week.
In other words, the birth of the royal baby was a model of the careful blend of traditional and modern exemplified by this royal couple in the dozen years they've been a couple.
The baby arrives just short of 27 months since William and Kate were married in a spectacular ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. The nine months of her pregnancy have been chronicled by the British and world media with excruciating detail and growing excitement about the first royal heir to be born in 31 years, since William himself was born to Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
(In fact, the last time the easel-and-note was used to announce a royal birth was for William.)
The baby moves immediately to third in line to the throne, behind father William and grandfather Charles. The queen is 87 and celebrating her 61st year on the throne.
The baby comes into the world with unprecedented expectations: The rules of succession have been changed so that a first-born girl can one day inherit the throne, even if she later has younger brothers.
Thus, the stable, popular British monarchy gains even more stability with three direct descendants of the queen ready to one day reign.
The past few weeks saw rising royal-baby fever in Britain, with hopes high that the birth would provide an estimated $360 million boost in the flat British economy. Meanwhile, royal-baby doodads, such as Will and Kate masks, poured into shops for use at the street parties soon to break out all over the country.
The baby arrived , based on a mid-July due date. Unlike the majority of births in Britain, no one, not even the parents, knew the sex of the baby until the birth.
The baby was the second royal heir to be born in a London hospital, the same one where William was born in 1982 (as well as other recent royal babies not close in line to the throne). The Lindo Wing of St. Mary's is a favorite birthing destination of London's rich and famous, with estimates of the cost of a natural birth in a private suite as high as $15,000.
William was in the delivery room, as was his father when he was born. He is taking two weeks off for paternity leave.
Many details about the birth were unclear, and some of the speculation was a bit unseemly. Kate had planned a natural birth, being "not too posh to push," as the Daily Mail put it. Did she employ a "hypno-birth" or some other birthing strategy to dull pain? Will she breast-feed the baby?
It seems likely the couple will take the baby and stay for a few weeks at Kate's parents' estate in the country, where there is a nursery. The couple live in a small apartment at Kensington Palace when they're in London and are not expected to move into more palatial digs until the fall.
If they stay at the Middletons' mansion in Bucklebury, Berkshire, that would mark the first time a royal heir spent the first few weeks of life outside a royal palace or estate. These details matter to the British.
Britain learned that the duchess had gone into labor just minutes after she checked in and settled at the hospital. In the age of Twitter, it was considered impossible to keep the news under wraps for long, so the palace announced it. (The palace was forced to announce Kate was pregnant ahead of schedule when she experienced acute morning sickness early in her pregnancy and had to be hospitalized.)
Palace press officials had arranged for a theatrical ritual if the baby was born during daylight hours: After the birth, the formal notice, signed by her doctors, would be brought out the front door of the hospital, handed to a driver and then driven with a police escort through London to the front of Buckingham Palace, where it would be placed on the easel. The birth of a royal heir is rare enough to warrant the trouble, palace officials said weeks ago.
But if the baby were born in the middle of the night? No midnight runs to the palace, no police escort. The news would go out in an electronic news release and the notice on the easel set up in the morning.

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an important update that includes previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7. Installing SP1 helps keep Windows 7 up to date. For more information, see What's included in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
The recommended (and easiest) way to get SP1 is to turn on automatic updating in Windows Update in Control Panel, and wait for Windows 7 to notify you that SP1 is ready to install. It takes about 30 minutes to install, and you'll need to restart your computer about halfway through the installation.
If Service Pack 1 is listed under Windows edition, SP1 is already installed on your computer.
Make sure you have enough free disk space to install SP1 (even though much of that space will be reclaimed after the installation). If you need to create free disk space, go to Strategies for freeing disk space on the Windows website.
Windows Update
x86-based (32-bit): 750 MB
x64-based (64-bit): 1050 MB
Downloading SP1 from the Microsoft website
x86-based (32-bit): 4100 MB
x64-based (64-bit): 7400 MB
Installing SP1 using an installation DVD
Before you install SP1, we recommend you do the following:
If you have any prerelease versions of SP1 installed, uninstall them before installing the final release version of SP1. To do this, follow the instructions in "Uninstalling SP1" in this topic.
Back up your important files to an external location, such as an external hard disk, DVD or CD, USB flash drive, or network folder. For more information, search "Backing up files and folders" in Help and Support.
If you're using a laptop, connect it to an AC electrical outlet and don't unplug or restart the computer during installation.
Some antivirus software might prevent SP1 from installing, or might slow down the installation. You can try temporarily disabling your antivirus software. If you do so, be sure that you're aware of the risks involved, and be sure to re-enable it after the service pack is installed.
If your computer is set to automatically install updates, you'll be prompted by Windows Update to install SP1. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you aren't prompted to install SP1, follow these steps:
Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
In the left pane, click Check for updates.
If any important updates are found, click the link to view available updates. In the list of updates, select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB976932), and then click OK.
Click Install updates.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Follow the instructions on your screen.
After the installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful.
If you disabled your antivirus software, enable it again.
If SP1 isn't listed, you might need to install some other updates before installing SP1. Install any important updates, return to the Windows Update page, and then click Check for updates again.
If you have problems getting the service pack from Windows Update, you can download the SP1 installation package from the Microsoft Download Center, and then install SP1 manually.
Go to the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 download webpage on the Microsoft website, and then click Continue.
Choose either the 32-bit (x86) or the 64-bit (x64) version of SP1 depending on whether you're running the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 7, and then click Download.
To install SP1 immediately, click Open or Run, and then follow the instructions on your screen. To install SP1 later, click Save and download the installation file to your computer. When you're ready to install SP1, double-click the file.
On the Install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 page, click Next.
Follow the instructions on your screen. Your computer might restart during the installation.
After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful.
You can order a DVD from Microsoft containing SP1. You'll need to choose either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of SP1, depending on whether you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7. For more information, go to Get Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on DVD on the Windows website.
Insert the DVD into your computer with your current version of Windows 7 running. The Install Windows Service Pack wizard should automatically appear.
On the Install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 page, click Next.
Follow the instructions on your screen. The computer might restart several times during the installation.
After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You'll receive a message indicating whether the update was successful.
To learn how to uninstall a service pack, go to How to uninstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on the Windows website.
Make sure you're taking advantage of all the ways that Windows can help keep your computer as secure and safe as possible:
Install an antivirus program. Antivirus programs scan for viruses trying to get into your email, operating system, or files, and can help protect your computer. To find an antivirus program, go to the Windows Security software providers webpage on the Microsoft website.
Don't open email attachments. Many viruses are attached to email messages and will spread as soon as you open the email attachment. It's best not to open any attachment unless it's something you're expecting. Microsoft Outlook and Windows Live Mail can help block potentially dangerous attachments.
Use a firewall. Windows Firewall or any other firewall program can help notify you to security threats. It can block viruses, worms, and hackers from attempting to download potentially harmful programs onto your computer.
Use the latest version of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 9 contains security and privacy improvements, such as updates to SmartScreen Filter and InPrivate Browsing, which can help protect your computer so you can browse the web with more confidence. For more information, go to the Internet Explorer webpage on the Windows website.
For general information about service packs, go to the Service Pack Center webpage on the Windows website.
For technical information about SP1, such as release notes and the SP1 deployment guide, go to the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 resources webpage on the Microsoft TechNet website.

Bridgeport, CT (Sports Network) - Derek Needham scored 13 points and dished
out seven assists to lead the Fairfield Stags to a 62-46 decision over the
Milwaukee Panthers in non-conference action at Webster Bank Arena.
Amadou Sidibe added 12 points and nine rebounds as Fairfield (6-5) earned its
second win in a row. Maurice Barrow scored 10 points for the Stags.
Kyle Kelm recorded a double-double for Milwaukee (3-8) with 13 points and 14
rebounds. None of the other Panthers reached double-figures in their second
consecutive loss.
Fairfield led by as many as seven in the first half, but the Panthers chipped
away at the deficit before heading into halftime trailing 23-21. The Stags
converted only 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts including 2-of-11
from three-point range in the opening 20 minutes. The visitors were held to
29.2 percent shooting from the floor in the first half.
Milwaukee continued to struggle after the break and made just 26.1 percent of
its shots from the floor. Fairfield opened up the second half on an 8-0 run to
take control and scored 14 points off of turnovers in the second half to coast
to the 16-point victory.
The Stags' reserves tallied 24 points in the contest while Milwaukee's bench
scored a mere six points.

*shrugs* I like it.. I think its good.
After some time away from gaming, and mapping, and paper miniatures, my old group called me wanting to game. I said "Sure, if I can run a Western." I figured that would be the end of it. Nope, they said "Great..... Next Saturday?"
So here is the beginning map of the area the scenario takes place in. Brimstone, New Mexico Territory. I got it form an old Boot Hill "module".
I really really disliked their map, so here we go.
I studied several Town tutorials, and was REALLY inspired by mearrin69's Brushy, Kansas, and Sany Bowitz Maps. I ain't that good yet.
I am fairly happy with this one so far though. Any suggestions or criticism is appreciated. Gotta get rid of the gray patches around the trees... This is GIMP, btw.

*shrugs* I like it.. I think its good.
that's awesome! wish i had some suggestions but I don't know gimp that well
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I dig it. Water and rocks look nice. The buildings look a little 'floaty'. Maybe if you ease up on the blur on the shadows and move them in closer to the buildings just a tad? Not sure what's with the grey you mentioned on the trees. They could benefit from a little tweaking to the drop shadow as well, I think. Maybe play with bevel on the tree layer to see if you can get them to pop up a little?
I don't know GIMP either so I can't be much help with specifics.
I think yours is looking pretty good! Glad you liked my maps. Have some rep for the flattery...erm, I mean, have some rep for the great map!
I'd guess the grey fringing around the trees is due to your mask opacity at the edges bleeding outside the noise of the trees. If so, play with the curves ion the layer mask to squeeze the grey out.
Also, I really like the south lake south shore with the broken up area.

Regarding the shadows, there is a technique using a directional blur to keep the shadows attached to the corners of the buildings. Do a search for Ascension's Oasis map; I think it's described in there. It was quite a while ago, though. I may be mistaken about how much detail was posted there.

I think the heavy outline/stroke is also contributing to the 'floatiness'.
But that aside I like it.

A western - nice idea for a gaming round you had there and you came up with a nice map
The bevel mentioned by Mearrin is a good idea for the single trees and smaller areas to give some depth.
As I am not familiar with GIMP I can only give some general advice on the greyish glow around your trees.
If you can't erase the "fog" manually I would try to duplicate the layer (with the trees), select the top one, cut away 2-3px (depending on the file size) by reducing the selection, inverse it and delete the edges - after this, change the duplication (under the cut away layer) to multiplay - this, combined with the bevel and some harder drop shadow should result in a more smoothy junction between tree and ground.
Another way would be to select the colour range in a certain area enabling you to only kick the white out.
Hopefully this or the previous advices given by the other members help you a lil' bit.

Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., employees volunteered to help restore one of the San Bernardino (Calif.) National Forest's most popular multi-use off-highway vehicle staging areas in September.
Eighty volunteers, comprised of Yamaha employees and their family and friends, along with members of the San Bernardino National Forest Association, contributed 240 hours of volunteer service to maintain and improve the Cactus Flats staging area.
The San Bernardino National Forest sees about 2.4 million visitors each year and Cactus Flats is a popular spot for OHV enthusiasts, providing access to some of the best trails in Southern California. Thousands of visitors, including OHV enthusiasts, hikers and mountain bikers, among others, enjoy the staging area and surrounding trails each year.
"Yamaha is dedicated to the OHV community and has contributed thousands of volunteer hours and more than $2 million since 2008 to the mission of supporting safe, responsible riding and open, sustainable riding areas," says Mike Martinez, general manager of Yamaha's ATV/SxS operations and an SBNFA board member who volunteered alongside his son.
"Yamaha employees are passionate about their volunteer efforts here in Southern California," Martinez says. "We understand that these OHV areas are important to our customers and our business, and it means a lot to us personally to help keep these areas in good shape for current and future generations."
The weekend's volunteer activities included planting and watering 250 native shrubs, slashing illegal riding areas, collecting more than 20 pounds of native seeds for future planting and restoring more than an acre of forest land and surrounding trails.

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Kari Lehtonen stopped 20 shots and the Dallas
Stars got goals from three different players in a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim
Trevor Daley, Jamie Benn and Loui Eriksson lit the lamp for Dallas, which
earned its 758th win since moving to Texas 19 seasons ago. That equals the
victory total the team had in 26 seasons as the Minnesota North Stars.
The Stars have earned points in seven consecutive home games against the
Ducks, compiling a 6-0-1 record in that span. Anaheim has not won in
regulation at American Airlines Center since Oct. 26, 2010.
Jonas Hiller stopped 14-of-16 shots in the opening period for the Stars, but
was lifted after suffering a lower body injury. Rookie Viktor Fasth allowed a
goal on 12 shots the rest of the way.
Nick Bonino scored the lone goal for the Ducks, who had a four-game winning
streak broken.
The Stars, who won their third in a row overall, capitalized on a roughing
penalty to Brad Staubitz and scored on the power play 8:48 into the contest on
Daley's blast from the high slot.
Dallas expanded to a 2-0 lead thanks to another man-advantage goal, this one
resulting from a 5-minute major and game misconduct from Staubitz after a
spearing penalty was called. Benn netted the goal at the 12:59 mark when his
tight-angle shot from below the left circle clanked off the far post and into
the net.
Bonino cut the deficit in half with 4:37 left in the second period on a
deflection in front off a blue line shot from Luca Sbisa.
Eriksson moved the Stars ahead by two again with 7:14 left in regulation.
Derek Roy passed the puck from the left boards across the ice to the right
circle where Ericksson let go a successful wrist shot that beat Fasth to the
glove side.
The Ducks had just one shot on goal in the last period.
Game Notes
Benn has earned points in seven consecutive games against Anaheim ... These
teams will meet four more times this season, including three games in five
days at the start of April ... The Stars have not lost a game in regulation
when leading after two periods since Oct. 31, 2009 (at Nashville). They have
earned points in 79 consecutive games when leading after the second period and
sport a 71-0-8 record in those games ... Anaheim continues its season-high
six-game road trip Saturday at St. Louis, while Dallas visits Edmonton Tuesday
to open a three-game trek.

I kind of agree with your post - even though I enjoyed the last episode (at least more than the last two):
2. I did like the opening sequence, seeing the military paratroopers opening fire in the hospital and just wasting everything that moved. That was the best opening sequence in the year so far. What I didn't like was that Shane wanted to take Rick but couldn't because of the machines, and then when the power went out he tried to listen for a heartbeat and couldn't hear one, thinking Rick was dead. Really? If Rick was dead, then how the hell did he wake up? When did his body decide to get its heartbeat back? I think Shane should have lifted him out of there anyhow, if for no other reason than to prevent him from getting snacked on.
I still think the best opening sequence was in the first episode. Certainly the most shocking. But this was definitely better than the two sisters sitting in the damn boat getting all sobby. Anyway, I guess I didn't realize the power had gone out - must have missed that. I thought he was just checking for a heartbeat to see if Rick was still alive. It makes since that he didn't try and drag a 175 lb (or so) man out of a hostile situation where speed and ability to handle a weapon were almost a necessity. He does barricade the door, which is one of the things about the first episode I didn't get. I may have even complained about it in this thread for the first episode. This intro really brought the first episode together. Probably going to rewatch the series with the Mrs. over the next week or two.
4. Still not sure why the black girl decided to stay behind and get incinerated. I like that Jenner did - he's a useless fuck anyhow. But why the black girl? What the fuck is going on there? And what was up with Andrea wanting to die too? I know she loved her sister, but I didn't realize it was some form of sick, incest "You're my sister but I really love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you" kind of love. Sheesh.
Not sure why she stayed either. Was she T-dog's wife? Or just a sistah from another mistah? I think at that point they had all just given up. Jenner brought up a good point that their was no hope and that dying instantly would be less painful than getting bitten (or ripped apart) and reanimating into a zombie. That's a classic choice in any zombie movie. Someone always kills themselves when faced with instant death or becoming one of the living dead. I think after having to put a bullet through her sister's head, she knew she didn't want to be a zombie - or have someone else kill her when she became one. I guess when you kill someone who you love as a mercy killing to prevent them from eternal damnation as a flesh eater, you want that same mercy yourself. I dunno.
5. On their way out of the CDC building, after the big explosion, they walk through a field/parking lot filled with military equipment, bunkers, and potentially weapons and supplies. And they don't stop to investigate, even after killing the zombies? What...a waste. Perfectly good weapons and equipment, not to mention fuel and vehicles, and they just hop back in the RV and take off. None of those people deserve to live after passing up a great scavenging possibility.That has actually bothered me the entire series. In the first/second episode where Rick is in the tank - I don't know how to drive a tank. But in the middle of a goddamn zombie apocalypse, I'd give it a shot.
But yeah, I would be pulling every M-16 and ammo off of every body there was - even zombies. This show needs more scavenging.
Perhaps the writers should spend a month playing Fallout. Even the goddamn Feral Ghouls have items/ammo to be scavenged.
6. 30 seconds of zombies in a 60 minute zombie show = a travesty. Completely pointless to even have them at the end, based on the episode itself. Great at the beginning, and I thought it would lead up to something big during the episode. What...a letdown. Why even have them at the end when they weren't present at all during the rest of the episode (save for the beginning). I know you can't have them in every scene, but you should have them in more than 2 scenes. Sheesh.
Yeah, I mentioned this too. It's a dumb argument, but the show isn't a ZOMBIE show. The title "The Walking Dead" refers to the survivors, not the zombies themselves. It's all about the characters - which have been pretty weak thus far, aside from Rick, Glen and a few others. I wish the show hadn't wasted so much time the last few episodes trying to build up the characters (especially ones that were killed off moments after getting their facetime) and focused more on the zombies themselves. The last couple episodes have been hella weak when it comes to zombie face time.
All in all, a disappointing episode, and a stupid way to end the season. I guess I have to wait until the next season to see if they keep spiraling downward or if they will do something to get this back on track.
Again, like I said. They ran out of time to tell any kind of interesting storyline in the six shows they got. They started out strong and realized they really couldn't take the series much farther than they did on the allotted time schedule. I think next season will be great. If anything, these shittier episodes will gauge the fan's reactions and they'll realize they need to make the show better next season.

Port of LA demonstrates grace under pressure
May 13, 2013
As the Port of Los Angeles hosted the 28th World Ports Conference of the International Association of Ports and Harbors last week, a crucial vote was being cast to determine its logistical future.
By every measure the IAPH conference was a rousing success, attracting more than 500 decision-makers from 55 nations and more than 100 global ocean cargo gateways. But as reported here, Port of LA leaders were also participating in a critical meeting with the Los Angeles City Council to gain approval of BNSF's Southern California International Gateway (SCIG) project.
Shippers and port authorities alike were relieved to discover that the $500 million project received the green light, thereby making LA an even greener place to do business. While some local residents were opposed to the new construction, the Council recognized that the on-dock intermodal facility is projected to cut emissions by 90 percent, and further reduce the dependence of motor carriers in this vital transport artery.
Outgoing LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa noted in his IAPH speech that the port has long been a leader in "clean energy alternatives." At the same time, he observed that trucking companies, too, have invested nearly $1 billion of their own monies to comply with new regulations.
Mario Cordero, a long-time advocate of Southern California ports, and current chair of the Federal Maritime Commission, echoed the Mayor's sentiments when he told the IAPH audience that all the region's stakeholders are "on board" when it comes to improving air quality.

John Shriek, WXIA
ATLANTA -- It has been nine months since a man in Gwinnett County
lured five firefighters into his home by faking a possible heart attack,
and, knowing they were not armed, took them all hostage at gunpoint.
The police SWAT team was able to rescue the firefighters, shooting and killing the gunman.
Some Georgia state legislators believe that incident is key evidence
in support of their efforts to authorize firefighters, statewide, to
carry their own firepower while out on calls.
Rep. Kevin Cooke, (R), Carrollton, introduced a bill Thursday, called House Bill 807,
co-signed by several other House members, to permit firefighters to
carry firearms while on duty, if they wish, and if they have the
permission of their superior officers.
Critics say the bill, if passed into law, would cause more problems than it would solve.
Supporters say the need is ever-present.
"I just think it's overkill," said Sen. Vincent Fort, (D), Atlanta,
on Thursday. "Of course I'm concerned with [the firefighters'] safety.
If there's a pattern of situations where firefighters are at risk, then
yes. But I don't think we're at that point, now.... When people see
firefighters, they're almost always glad to see them coming, because a
firefighter means help. Arming firefighters will provide a distraction
to their core functions, protecting people and serving the public."
"I think that anybody that has to be in public should be allowed to
defend themselves anywhere they go," said Jerry Henry of
GeorgiaCarrry.org. "This is a dangerous world. Firefighters are no
different.... We have never said that everybody should be armed, we say
that everybody should have the right to decide whether they want to be
armed, or not. If they don't feel comfortable, don't do it. But if you
feel uncomfortable, if you think that there are things like [the
Gwinnett County hostage-taking] going to happen -- that happened once in
how many, a hundred years or so? But guess what? Maybe it's going to
happen again. And you don't want to be the guy that walks in there
unarmed and at that guy's mercy."
In Gwinnett County, where the firefighters were taken hostage last
year, Fire Chief Casey Snyder sent an email to 11Alive News on Thursday
stating that he has no plans to allow his firefighters to arm themselves
while they're on duty, even if the legislature passes this bill:
"The Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services has no
knowledge of the content of House Bill 807 nor did we participate in
the writing of the bill. Regardless of the outcome, the department has
no plans to change its current procedures. Anyone seeking information
should contact the individuals or agencies responsible for the
development of the bill."

Q: You're kicking ass and taking names in White House Down [out June 28]. What made you pick this film?
A: Most movies like this are about other countries attacking America, but this one is a little more unique because the enemy's coming from the inside. Jamie Foxx [who plays the president] is wickedly smart and strong, not unlike our president now. I believe Obama is a lot of fun when he's not trying to keep our economy together.
Q: You and Jenna [Dewan-Tatum, his wife] have been together for nearly eight years. What's your secret?
A: You have to want it. Jenna's and my thing is checking in with each other all the time, like "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you love me right now?" And you gotta be honest, and you've got to want an honest answer. I told a friend to do that. He asked the question and it turned into a huge fight, and I'm like, that's kind of the point. Obviously, something needed to be fixed, he needed to be aware of it, and she needed to get it off her chest.
Q: You seem like one of the most approachable celebrities around. Why is that?
A: It's a hard thing for me to wrap my mind around the C word: celebrity. Rock stars are celebrities, because they're larger than life. As an actor, you have to play the everyman and the everygirl. If you start treating people in the real world like assistants, that's not a good look. But my friends keep me grounded. It's embarrassing to tell you how much my friends make fun of me. Seriously, when you have a doll made of your face, it's ridiculous how creative your friends can get…pictures, videos, little animated cartoons that they've made. And they're way, way not PG-13. So I get chopped down to size all the time.
Q: Fill in the blank: No one would think I was sexy if they knew_______.
A: I'm a fat kid on the inside. I love food so much, and I fluctuate about 25 to 30 pounds between movies. I feel like I have to do a chess movie that requires very little movement at some point, just so I can eat pizza and play chess on the beach all day. And then eat more pizza and cheese-burgers and drink beer. That'd be amazing. I'd give anything for that. I gotta figure that movie out.
