My Issue I Had At The Grocery Store Late Last Night
Posted 31 January 2010 - 09:58 PM
I'll keep it short. I go to the grocery store last last night (we have a 24hr joint near my house)... anyways, I go in to buy some syrup because my daughter had her friend sleepover last night and how dare they not have what they need for pancakes in the morning. Anyways.. I noticed this drunk white dude (drunk or high) as I walked in and thought nothing of it. Minded my own business. However I noticed he pulled up in a black BMW and he was noticablely intoxicated. (i know, driving and drunk.. wow) anyways I go in and I buy myself the syrup for my kid. I notice he's at the check out counter kind of stammering and just acting all strange. Saying some strange things. I know the guy at the check out counter. I'm a regular there. I've lived in the area for 8 to 9 years. We were talking football, then he starts talking to the guy at the checkout counter. Kinda giving him a hard time. I could tell things weren't right with this dude. It he was acting real weird. I slightly intervened and said, "Hey bro, maybe you got some friends you could call to come give you a lift home.. you ain't looking to well".. I was kind of looking out for him, although he was just a troubled dude. Dude starts giving me attitude then he just says "shut up n*gger" right to my face. I couldn't believe this.. I filled with rage and anger and to believe I tried to help this guy just 2 minutes ago.
So anyways the clerk said he wasn't having it and went to get someone like a manager. Buddy walked out the store and so I followed. To make a long story short lets say I blacked out.. I stop hitting him when he started making gurgling noises and weird moaning sounds... I want back into the grocery and told them to call this guy an ambulance. I wasn't trying to kill the guy but he was in bad shape. I just wanted to inflict a little pain. In any event I just lost my cool. I'm sick of people using the word like it's nothing. I tried to walk away but I couldn't. There has been lots of stuff in life I've turned a blind eye too. Lots of stuff... I wasn't about to let that slide, I couldn't let this just fall by the wayside.
On a side note. I play on XBL a lot as some of you guys know. In my down town I play video games. There is a lot of racist people that sit behind their headset and ell this nonsense. All they do is degrade black folk. Call us all types of racist names and nothing happends to them. They are allowed to sit in their safe confines of their apartment or living quarters and talk like this to people. I mean you should hear some of these guys. I think I just had enough. I could have really did this guy if I wanted to. I felt like it but I held back. In a weird sick way, it felt good. He needed to be taught a lesson. My daughter has to grow up and no doubt she's going to have to hear this and be subjected to this hate and it will change her, it will taint her and it's fucking sad. I've dealt with this my whole life and it will never go away. I'm worried now for this guys well being because I might have went to far. It was bitter cold and he on his back when I left him.. dude was gurgling and making just fucked up noises, I should have turned him on his side before I left. Why must people try to test my faith, this dude was suicidal calling me these words as if he couldn't be touched.
Thanks for letting me vent a little.

2ndly its not using the word like its nothign. this guy was an obvious drunk racist. All words can be used in any form.
For instance, if one of your friends is liek Whats up my *beep*, you wouldn't get mad. Its not meant to be hurtful its just friends being friends.
now if some stranger is like f*** off *beep*, then yeah i can see you getting pissed. its more the context then the word

I can see where both of you are coming from being from Long Island where I had friends from all different races we were cool to just say that word and nothing would happen but it does have to come to a point where the line is crossed and action needs to be taken to curb the use of that word. Dubb you did what you had to do and finally popped your top and sucks for that dude who got his grill tore up at your hands but I hope nothing happens to you and he just learns his lesson and he has no excuse for using that word even if he was heavily intoxicated. I stopped using that word around my black friends cause like you said 115 there are 2 ways to say it that can be up to debate by everyone but the word no matter how you say it is still a deragotory comment towards African Americans...It's a touchy subject but really it should be at the discretion of people unless they use it in a racist manner where what Dubb did to that assclown happens and Dubbs you the man for standing up and punchin that assclown in the mug....
Well YOU BETTER BLEED GREEN & WHITE!!!!

Again, I know me and you have our outs and you're probably going to take all that the wrong way, but I don't mean it like that. I think its f***ing despicable what the guy did to you. That piece of shit has worse things coming to him than an ass beating, karma will bite him in the ass Dubb.

Otherwise, I'm sure you know there are other ways for you to handle that, but I understand why it happened. Hopefully no charges come of it, bro.

I just want to touch on this...subject because I think things like this are stupid. It's insane that we can't coexist. Break it down and we are still all American human beings. You can wear a turban, be an albino, or be dark like Kevin Garnett. Your still an American. I believe it comes down to how we are raised. Parents out there still have hatred, probably from their parents. This hatred gets passed along like a belief. It's sad. I'm glad my parents weren't like that.
Dubb. I'm not going to try and criticize the ass beating you gave this dickface. He deserved it. The problem is that he will probably be more prone to use that word while not drunk/high/full of retardation. I understand it's probably very hard to hold back and be the "adult" in this kind of situation. But, it is what it is. Some guy got shitfaced, and now has a shit face(haha). Just be happy that you don't have any charges. Your a smart guy, you wouldn't want your child to think of you as someone who goes around shittin on people's faces.
As far as the dumbass kids on XBL, that's why I don't bother playing crap like Call of Duty. Kids can't buy the games themselves, their parents pay for their Live subscriptions, and god forbid they get killed while playing these games. It's too much bs. I play the games that don't piss me off, and just talk to my friends. The best you can do is mute and move.
There is one constant in my post. Kids. The angry and racist kids on XBL are raised by the idiot racists that go to late-night grocery stores while intoxicated, who are raised by the "old-school" racists.

Good for you that you taught this idiot a lesson that he desperately needed. Let's just hope that the store clerk got your back and hat the moron was too high or drunk to ID you.
Just coincidentally, if there were no cameras, there's not enough evidence without someone else witnessing it to convict you of any assault charges. You said the clerk left to get a manager, so if there was no one else outside with you to see it or any kind of camera, there were no witnesses and the moron's testimony alone wont be enough to convict considering he was either drunk or high. I'm sure they did a blood alcohol analysis on this guy at the hospital. He's definitely not a credible witness.
IF you get asked about it, deny that $hit. To the end unless someone at the store testifies against you.
When someone annoys u, it takes 42 muscles in ur face 2 frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles 2 extend ur arm & b!tch-slap that mother@*?!&! upside the head!!

But, we all have to look at ourselves in the mirror. If we really want racism to stop it has to stop in all directions. Dubb, meant as a joke or not you calling Danny Woodhead "whiteboy" is just as bad. I'm pretty sure if that guy walked into that grocery store and told you to, "shut up black boy"...you'd be just as pissed about it. Now, I'm not saying you're racist Dubb, but if we really want it all to stop...you can't do shit like beat this guy up. He is only going to be more racist now. Now, he can justify his claims and call you some savage who mercilessly beat a defenseless guy.
Racists don't only come in white...we're all guilty...to some extent.
Posted 01 February 2010 - 03:22 PM
However heres my thought on the thing in EVERY race there is good people and people that make the whole race look bad. To lump someone in with a group because of something they have no control over is asinine, I'm friends with black kids that are as much if not MORE respectful than a lot of the white kids I go to school with yet they get shit as a no good dirty well you know the words.
I however also wanna ask you something and don't take this the wrong way, you can say your proud of being black/mexican or from another country but if I we're to say I'm proud to be a white kid or proud of my irish heritage I'd get chastised for being "racist and ignorant"
Back on topic, its a shame you had to deal with that, you seem like good people I'm glad you didn't have to subject your kid to the incident either, its just amazing how you can hate someone you've never met. Its like going to someone and saying "you must be a thief, you have blue eyes" hopefully by the time I'm an adult and have kids racism in both directions will be gone and forgotten.

Just because I have a daughter and I'm 31 doesn't mean someone can't get touched. Sometimes in life there are going to be circumstances that call for someone to "get it" and thats just the bottom line. Do I feel bad for doing it?... sure there is some remorse there. Did I make sure he was attended to?... sure because I'm no savage. I just wanted to send a message and I think he'll think twice before calling people that again. I guarantee it. I stopped beating him after I thought I did enough. I wasn't there to turn him into a vegetable. In all honesty, I really truly don't like to hurt to people. I'm a pretty strong guy I'd say. I know I can inflict a lot of punishment very quickly on someone but the worst part is my nasty side. When you couple that with the strength then I know I could really hurt someone. I don't like to hurt people, it's not my thing. I'm actually I very giving person. Like I said I was just trying to help this guy, by mentioning maybe he should call for a ride home because I did see him pull up in BMW and he clearly shouldn't be driving. I wasn't expecting him to call me a n*gger after I was only trying to help him from hurting himself or another person. I felt slighted and disrespected and I snapped, perhaps if I not had those 5 or 6 beers that night maybe I would have dealt with it a little differently but it was what it was. I would have had a hard time swallowing that one, without no ramifications. I would have had a hard time walking away and believe me I tried but I couldn't do it. He needed to feel something.
For what it's worth I'm remorseful and I'm a human.
I appreciate all your guys feedback. This is why I chose to tell you guys because I know you guys are level headed and would offer good advice. Not everyone is going to agree with what I did but it happened. You'll never truly know what it like sometimes and for the most part I handle it very well but I know me and there will be times that I will blow.

Yeah Dubb I know it was...I know you meant no harm. But, it is something to think about. If I poked fun at the African American kicker that comes around once in a blue moon by making a thread titled, "A Little Black Boy Kicker!!!??? Can You Believe It!?"
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't go over so well...so why is it Ok to do it in the reverse?

Everyone should have the same standard I here you.. listen to this 2 min clip from my boy CK Louis.
I like the part where he said you can't insult white people and he's right. Calling someone a "whiteboy" fails in comparison to calling a black guy "little black boy" there is a sensitive issue with white people degrading black people. There should be a double standard but the reality is there isn't. There is nothing a black guy can call a white guy thats racial that can get under his skin really. Unfortunately there a few derogatory comments that can be made to black people that can spring some serious tension. It's just how it is.
Posted 01 February 2010 - 05:30 PM
And TheFuture, there's a difference between declaring your pride for your heritage and being a supremacist. No one gets mad at the Irish during St. Patrick's Day. No one gets mad at flags or representing your heritage's colors. But when the conversations turn into, "We're better because..." it starts to walk a fine line.
Also, I can't stop staring at my avatar.

Five Years Ago: U2 Release 'No Line on the Horizon'
Five years have now come and gone since the release of 'No Line on the Horizon,' U2's 12th and most recent studio album. When it hit stores on March 3, 2009, four years and three months had passed since the Irish rockers had issued their previous record, 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,' marking the longest period between studio releases for the band at the time.
U2 had started working on 'Horizon' in 2006 with producer Rick Rubin, but the group soon abandoned those sessions and reconvened in May 2007 with longtime collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. The band's original producer, Steve Lillywhite, also was brought in to work on some tracks. Writing and recording for the album was done in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland and Morocco, with the music of the latter country influencing the sound of some of the tracks.
'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb' and its predecessor, 2000's 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' had for the most part seen U2 returning to its classic sound of the '80s, but Bono and company had intended for 'No Line on the Horizon' to mark a new direction for the band. How successful they were at achieving this is open for debate.
Some songs certainly feature sonic experimentation — drums loops, samples and synths — but much of the material sounds is if it could have fit in well on either of U2's previous two records. First single 'Get on Your Boots' was a fast-paced and infectious tune that recalled the 'How to Dismantle' hit 'Vertigo,' while the soaring and melodic second single 'Magnificent' hearkened back to such early classics as 'New Year's Day' and 'Pride (In the Name of Love).'
The album received generally positive reviews, although some critics complained that it wasn't a particularly memorable collection of songs overall. 'No Line on the Horizon' debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and went on to be certified platinum after selling more than a million copies in the U.S., although it ended being considered a commercial disappointment. Of the three singles released from the album — 'Get on Your Boots,' 'Magnificent' and 'I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight' — only the first cracked the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 37.
While 'No Line on the Horizon' may not have had the impact U2 had hoped for, the ensuing tour the band mounted to support it certainly did. The U2 360 Tour, which featured a massive, futuristic set, ran from June 2009 to July 2011. It became the most successful trek of all time, grossing more than $736,000,000.

Congratulations on your new permanent contract. They must have very good taste! I hope that you continue to enjoy your team!
Congrats on sampling the vintage Shalimar!
Looking forward to the Vegas meet-up!
Thank you for the wonderful samples! You know I am sitting on my couch with a broken arm, so now I have these gorgeous samples to enjoy! Thanks so much for your generosity!
Hi Mats,
got the package today, as I was leaving the house to get on the road. Thanks bunches, everything had arrived intact and is just INCREDIBLE. Posting from my cell from the car hence no PM or feedback yet. Will do from the hotel.
I think I have a sample of SL clair de musc, and I also have Bois Des Ilsea parfum which I can send you a sample of if I can find something to put it in. If you are interested you can PM me.
Nice avatar on the Personal Page. You and hubby?
Matildaben: I suppose you know just what a strange sense of humour I have with an historical twist. I liked your call for the scents that might be worn by the wives of Henry VIII. We needed more input on that one, but maybe not everyone knows Tudor history.
I just saw your post on SotD, that is so exciting!!! Best wishes to you Matildaben!!

Height of Fundus
The pregnant body is truly amazing when you sit back and look at how much give and take it goes through during those nine months. At the beginning of your pregnancy, your uterus is about the size of your fist. It begins to enlarge at 8-12 weeks. Your doctor or midwife will begin to measure your uterus at your three month prenatal appointment and will continue measuring its growth at every appointment after that one.
The measurement your doctor or midwife is recording is the height of the fundus. The top of the uterus is called the fundus. The fundus is measured in relation to your pubic bone. Doctors and midwives use this measurement to make sure that your baby's growth is on target for your estimated due date. The height of the fundus also will tell a doctor or midwife if your baby is growing at a normal or adequate rate.
About one in five expectant mothers have what is referred to as a tilted or retroverted uterus in which the fundus is tilted towards the back instead of the front. In most pregnancies the uterus will right itself by the end of the first trimester. In rare cases when it doesn't, and where it becomes lodged in the pelvis putting pressure on the bladder, a catheter may need to be inserted to drain the mother's urine and then the uterus is gently pushed back into the proper position.

Hey guys! We're a young couple looking to move out of our current accomodation to somewhere a little closer to our respective schools, and where we can bring our furkid-family members with us! Gemma is a 19 year old psychology student at Monash University in her second year, and works part time as a sales assistance and puppy school instructor in the pet industry! (Which means her amazing pet product bargains are yours too! 😉) Brad is a student at Holmesglen TAFE studying his first year of Networking, is a whiz at all things technical, and would be happy to deal with any totally annoying technical failures with WiFi or your computer if a housemate ever needed a hand! Together we're hoping to bring our two furry friends - Gemma's greyhound, Bellatrix, who I assure you will have you weak in the knees within seconds, and Brad's indoor cat, Mia, who is a little princess. 🐱 (Gemma is also hoping to apply all her certified dog training skills into bringing a new puppy into the mix sometime in the near future.) We are not too picky on our new home other than friendly, fun, and carefree housemates who are happy to have a quiet night in (maybe watching horror movies, if they're up to it!) but also respect each others privacy and keep a comfortable home environment. A backyard is also pretty essential and whilst it doesn't have to be huge, you might get a bit tangled in Bellatrix's zoomies if it's small! 😸 *Our moving timeframe is from late March/early April. ☺ *We'd also be interested in teaming up with someone who had already found/had a house and was just looking for roommates to split the rent and the fun with them! If you feel like you might have something that suits, please get into contact with us! We can't wait to hear from our new housemates. ☺
Looking for a housemate, or two. Looking to live in Kilmore or Seymour. I work full time as a physiotherapist. I'm a friendly guy who likes his own privacy, but I'm always up for a chat. Usually out and about a lot! I'm clean and respectful also.
I'm a nursing student at Bendigo campus, am having a placement at loddon prison near Castlemaine. I'm easy going very professional, most of the time will be working.
I am considerate and respectful of others living with me. Looking for a home to create with others that will be peaceful and quiet, but also social and fun.
I am an easy going, friendly, independent woman. I have recently moved back to the area from Apollo Bay and have been housesitting since mid December!! I haven't got anything after early April, so am looking for more permanency... I'm positive, clean & tidy, enjoy walking, the outdoors, yoga, music and being with friends & family... hope to hear from you soon 😀😀
I have been travelling around Australia staying at various Buddhist Monasteries. I have decided to settle down for a while. I have a PhD, meditate, and like nature. I am a quiet person but also enjoy social interaction. I am an artist and am looking to start my practice again in the near future. I am a non drinker and non smoker. oh, and I like cats.
I am a young, very clean, energetic, amiable & friendly 23-year old Indian male looking for an affordable accommodation near VU's Flinders Street campus. I love to play any kind of sports (indoor/outdoor), swimming , non-smoker, prefer vegetarian food, easy access to transportation & public conveyance and am looking for a clean, furnished room (single or multiple beds) with all basic equipment and would be willing to stay for close to 2 years.

I am studying online so I have more flexibility with work and personal endeavors and it will be full time study with a placement involved. I dabble in various instruments and have an appreciation for music however I am not disruptive and respect others and their space! I do not drink alcohol and I am a non-smoker however I do not mind living in the same abode as someone that does smoke but I am not very tolerant of drunks and big hullaballoos. If you want to hold parties, get togethers or shindigs in the home occasionally that is a-okay. I am cooperative and groove well with other people and critters, I pay rent on time and am looking forward to doing something new after my gap year.
I'm responsible and not hard to live with.
I am professional, clean and friendly person.
Lawyer, good balance between social and quiet time
A 33 year old male new Unimelb PhD student from Thailand who is clean studious considerate friendly and easygoing.
Hey there I'm 29 a full time chef I work 6 days a week I'm into computer games and sports I just moved here from Melbourne I'm a clean an tidy person I would like to move in ASAP you can reach me on thank you
I am an easy going artist who is a bit of a foodie, neat and tidy and a reliable rent payer. Happy and witty, intelligent and creative, I'm into DIY and gardening and do a mean chicken in the weber! I am not a party animal but into red wine and music. I am employed at Monash Health. Currently, I am living in Melbourne. From May to July I will be visiting my Mum in SA, so my stay in Ballarat will commence on the 1/8/2017. I realise that I'm starting my search rather early, but as I will be coming to Ballarat practically every weekend between Feb and April, I was hoping to meet with potential flatmates for our mutual benefit. Who knows, you may have a room for me when the time comes and then we already know each other! If not, well then we have just found a new friend to pick up with come Spring! :)
Chill and clean. Will be working at St John of God hospital on a 3 month full-time contract. Will be traveling back to Melbourne most weekends.
My names Jasmin I'm a 19 year old sudent studying my first year of nursing at acu. I'm pretty easy going and understanding, I do like to keep my living space clean and tidy and I offer a great positive vibe to the household. My family live on the west side of Melbourne so I'd be down there visiting often on the weekends, I also work casually at etihad stadium. I absolutely adore pets and love the outdoors.

The Emery High baseball team made their annual trip to Montrose, Colo. and played three games against western Colorado high school teams last week. Emery opened the trip against Palisade High and suffered their only loss in the three games. Palisade won 7-1. Emery won their next two games as they defeated Moffat High 15-3 and then Delta, Colo. High 12-5.
Against Palisade, Emery allowed four runs in the first inning and three runs in the final inning but played well in the middle five innings. In the first inning, five base on balls and a double did the damage. In the final inning, a hit batsman, a double and a homerun accounted for the runs.
Emery scored their lone run in the top of the seventh inning. Brandon Oliver doubled and scored on a passed ball two batters later. The only other Spartan base hits in the game were a single by Oliver and a single by Ridge Nielson. Ridge, Geren Payne and Hunter Huntington each nabbed a walk in the game.
Against Moffat, Emery scored once in the first, three times in the second, eight times in the third and three times in the fourth inning as they won the game in five innings. Emery gave up the three runs in the third inning.
In the first inning, Nielson walked and scored on a single by Payne. In the second inning, Tyson Roper singled, Nielson singled again and Payne walked and all three scored. Kaden Feichko also singled in the inning.
In the third inning, Emery scored eight runs on a pair of hits and seven walks. Dillon Wilstead had a bunt single and Feichko had another single. Tappan Draper, Nielson, Payne, Oliver twice, Wilstead and Roper all walked.
In the fourth inning, Colton Collard got on due to an error, Draper got hit by a pitch, Marco Mota walked and Oliver doubled.
In the game against Delta, Emery scored eight runs in the sixth inning to break open a close game up until then. Delta scored two in the third inning and another in the fourth inning to lead Emery 3-2 going into the sixth inning. Emery had scored two runs in the fourth inning. Delta and Emery each added two runs in the seventh inning to get to the final score.
In that sixth inning, Emery had six base hits and took advantage of four walks to score their eight runs.
Feichko got hit by a pitch to open the inning. Oliver, the next batter, singled and Wilstead got the first out of the inning. Roper singled, Curtis Mason walked and Colton Collard singled. Draper then doubled scoring two runs followed by Nielson walking. Payne then singled to score Draper. Feichko got hit by a pitch and Oliver then singled scoring Nielson. After Wilstead walked, Roper walked knocking in the final Emery score.
In the third inning, Nielson walked and Payne and Oliver each doubled to score two runs. In the seventh inning, Collard walked, Draper tripled and Feichko singled for the runs.
Emery plays Uintah at home on Tuesday and on Friday Emery opens region play against Richfield in Castle Dale.

I'll often pair a good meal with good beer, but I don't eat a lot of desserts, particularly chocolate, so I'm limited in my beer and dessert pairings.
Samuel Adams has paired with TCHO to show how well beer can go with chocolate.
The Samuel Adams Beer Lover�s Chocolate Box features 12 8g pieces of chocolate. Each chocolate is to be paired with a different beer from the Samuel Adams Winter Classics Variety Pack.
�The idea of pairing beer and food has been around for centuries, but many people are just starting to explore the idea and have fun with it while learning what works,� said Samuel Adams Brewery Manager Jennifer Glanville. �We�re looking forward to hearing drinkers� responses to the Samuel Adams Beer Lover�s Chocolate Box. So many people think of wine as the quintessential chocolate pairing, but we think this pairing will certainly change some minds.�
Over the past week, to help you readers, I have followed Samuel Adams pairing suggestions and will now let you know what I though of each pairing. Before I start, I should disclose that I�m not a big fan of dark chocolate.
Samuel Adams Boston Lager paired with PureNotes Dark �Chocolatey:� I liked both the beer and chocolate individually, but together, it didn�t work to me. The chocolate was too strong and overwhelmed the Boston Lager. Samuel Adams Winter Lager paired with PureNotes Dark �Citrus:� This worked much better. The citrus notes latched onto the Winter Lager�s spices and worked in harmony together. Samuel Adams White Christmas paired with PureNotes Dark �Fruity:� Like with the Boston Lager, the Dark �Fruity� was just too strong for this white ale. The citrus would have worked better here, while the fruity would have been good with the Winter Lager. Samuel Adams Honey Porter paired with PureNotes Dark �Nutty:� This worked fantastically. The roasted flavor in the porter really brought out the nutty characters from the chocolate for a wonderful pairing. Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig paired with SeriousMilk �Classic:� This was my favorite chocolate by itself and it worked nicely with the Old Fezziwig. The Old Fezziwig�s spicy notes could have worked with many of the chocolates, but this was the best choice. Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock paired with SeriousMilk �Cacao:� A chocolate beer and a chocolate bar? You would think it would be chocolate overload, but it really wasn�t. The chocolate flavors in the beer and bar were different enough to give you a full canopy of flavors.
So, if you�re keeping track, four worked really well, and the others didn�t. But, that�s just what I found; you could find something totally different.
The Samuel Adams Beer Lover�s Chocolate Box costs $16.95 and is available by clicking here. The chocolate is also available for a limited time at the Samuel Adams� Boston Brewery�s gift shop.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm crying in my sleep while waiting. T_T
Playing some DDO.
Playing some UT3.
Playing some Shootmania.
watching GW2 life-stream recordings and pretending I'm playing (not really) I'm actually playing some Vindictus
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
There's already a similar thread, you may find a lot of answers there:
If you wonder why I don't answer your posts, it's most likely because you are on my block list - so don't waste your time.
i'll use that time to do a looot of homework....chances are i wont have enough time after the 25th
Don't shoot the messenger.....it will ruin you monitor
Playing lots of Dota 2 and moving into a new apartment.....unfortantly I start grad school on the 28th....fml
Hanging up DDO most likely since after BWE3 I just can't stomach DDO anymore.
Maybe going back to GW1 just to complete the campaigns and check out the Winds of Change and possibly work on HoM somewhat I can before release. Didn't link accounts when I registered GW2 as couldn't remeber the PW for GW1 so might be SOL for HoM stuff.
Get some readings done, freshen up my Arabic for the upcoming semester, get a crackin on the to do list. Generall just make productive use of the downtime to get to work on that oh so numerous to do things on my list.
The same thing we do everynight Pinky, try to take over the world!!!!
Gamewise some skyrim, maybe some COD. Canceling my ToR account. In real life gonna try and get to the gun range early to beat the heat a couple of times, got a jet ski day planned with my daughter next week
I miss DAoC

Still getting up to 100 in the day here in GA. Can't stand the heat man. (I like it warm... not hot... not cold)
Hmm, continuing DDO......gym/bike riding/ running......long cruises on the Harley. It's summer and RL still owns all mmo's.
Taking a break from gaming as there isnt anything out there that interest me right now.
Going through Guild Wars 2 withdrawl.
Reading the Hunger Games trilogy. After that...who knows.
SWToR mostly, gotta finish Alice:Madness Returns as well by then... °O
Really wanted to try TSW but honestly don't have the motivation right now.
Playing League of Legends and just downloaded Day Z (Arma 2) which looks to be a lot of fun. Also very keen for GW2 to be released but you get used to the waiting after following MMORPGs for awhile.
Safehouse Gaming up and running at: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnKd0Hk85CQ_N04Ae7v5zZg
gonna play aion i think...only problem is that i hardly can motivate myself to log in that game since ive played the gw2 beta
Keeping myself alive in DayZ, but thinking of going back to my MMO roots until the 25th, bit of a memory lane thing XD
Originally posted by khartokhar3

I can't motivate myself to play any game since GW2 xD
Lots of League and stuff I got on summer sale to play at least.
Particpating in the Closed Beta (of a certain MMO) which I am not allowed to discuss...
Replaying Neverwinter Nights 2, replaying Fallout: New Vegas, playing Skyrim with Dawnguard, playing other games.
Going outside, preaching a sermon of hate against the hotness of the sun every day, after which I go back inside.
Going to Disney World, it's been 20 years since I stepped foot into it and I live in Florida
Gonna fully enjoy what's left of my life before GW2 gets released.
FFV, Skyrim, Binding of Isaac, LA Noire, and Two Worlds II are all on my Must Finish List.
DayZ, Path of Exile OB
These will consume some time probably :]
I'll be playing games I picked up on the steam summer sale. In paticular Batman Arkham city and Stalker Call to pripyat with smaller less time consuming games sprinkled in.

Graphic Design
The work of Graphic Design is twofold: it gives shape to messages and information in the form of designed artifacts, and it facilitates people's interaction with messages and information in the form of interfaces, in both physical and digital formats. The artifacts and interfaces created by graphic designers are often designed as part of larger systems, effectively representing and communicating networks of services and products. The best of Graphic Design meaningfully promotes, educates, directs, informs, exposes, clarifies, beautifies, and/or delights the people who engage with it.
- Create artifacts such as books, magazines, newspapers, and other kinds of printed and electronic media; interface and interaction design for mobile devices such as cellphones and electronic tablets, and exhibition graphics, to name but a few types of applications.
- Plan and produce visual systems for companies and organizations, called "Identity Systems," which might include logos or marks, in-house collateral material, online web presence, marketing tools, product packaging, vehicle graphics, signage, and more. This network of artifacts is often a component of an overarching branding strategy.
- Develop strategies and systems for making services more accessible to users on behalf of the companies that provides those services. These strategies and systems are also components of an overarching branding strategy.
- Address the needs and wants of people by considering production and distribution of designed material within social contexts—including the consequences of their work once it is released to function in society.
- Consider the quality of experience as people engage in activities that are important to them.
- Determine the formal attributes of artifacts across media, aiming for visual communication that fits the needs and wants of specific audiences.
The skills necessary for a career in graphic design include the ability to: communicate information and messages through typography, images, symbols, physical material, and digital platforms; visualize, prototype, and produce artifacts and interactions; implement design research methods and practices; and collaborate with other experts, such as ethnographers, software engineers, and/or web programmers. The Graphic Design faculty teaches these skills as they encourage and help students develop and expand their creative abilities.

The Huskies are set for a Greater Metro Conference showdown.
They will travel to Menomonee Falls at 7:30 p.m. Thursday for a meet that will determine the GMC dual championship.
Both squads come into the dual with 5-0 marks in the conference. Hale reached that level by routing Sussex Hamilton, 56-13, on Jan. 17.
Recording pins in that dual were Jeff Schubert at 132 pounds, Taylor Tomczak at 160, Andrew Buelow at 182, Dallas Wanta at 220 and Ryan Vankerkvoorde at heavyweight.
The Huskies have tallied at least 56 points in every GMC dual, but against West Allis Central they won 42-23.
The winner in the Falls meet will claim the dual crown and likely establish itself as the favorite for the conference tournament Feb. 1 at Marquette High School.
Major strides were taken by the Hustlin' Hawks in the Homestead Invitational on Friday.
Greenfield placed eighth with 237 points in the 18-team field. A year ago in the same event, the Hawks took last place of 12 teams with just 12 points.
"We continue to improve and correct little mistakes," head coach Chris Otto said. "We knew coming into this season that we were going to struggle at the start. The kids have been resilient and are starting to wrestle at a higher level."
At Homestead, Matt Braatz captured fourth place at 195 pounds with a 3-2 mark. He lost an 8-4 decision to Alex Rodriguez of New Berlin in the third-place match.
Taking fifth were Tommy Friedbacher at 145 and Brandon Tolbert at 220 pounds. Claiming sixth were Victor Castro (132) and Alex Morton (heavyweight), and Turner Panich was eighth at 160.
Greenfield will compete in the Sheboygan South Tournament Saturday, then will return home to take on New Berlin at 7 p.m. Jan. 30 in the final Woodland Conference dual of the season.
The Wave tallied 126 points to beat St. Thomas More (97) and Pius XI (70) in a triangular meet on Jan. 16.
Winning events were Sam Michalski in the 50 freestyle at 25.13 seconds, Nate Pavek in the 100 butterfly with 1 minute, 7.13 seconds, the 200 medley relay team of Dale Medved, Mike Manlick, Pavek and Michalski in 2:02.51 and the 200 freestyle unit of Michalski, Dylan Wojtkowski, Pavek and Matt Montalvo with 1:47.92.
Snaring seconds were Wojtkowski in the 50 freestyle (27.21), Sam Lustig in the diving (203.25 points), Joel Rosa in the 100 freestyle (1:04.6), Medved in the 100 backstroke (1:10.03), Manlick in the 100 breaststroke (1:21.99) and the 400 freestyle group of Pavek, Montalvo, Wojtkowski and Michalski (4:08.44).
"We saw some great drops in time," head coach Matt Kopp said. "Even when we are not swimming at 100 percent, we still compete and find a second wind and fifth gear."
The Bulldogs lost close games to two of the perennial area powers last week.
They fell to Wauwatosa East, 63-56, on Friday night and Milwaukee Washington, 68-66, on Jan. 15.
Brandon Key tallied 15 points, Jaquan Martin 10 and Tony Helm and Demetrius James eight points apiece against Tosa East, which built a 38-25 halftime lead.
Against Washington, Martin and James each scored 11 points, Key 10 and Ron Turkvan nine.
The Bulldogs fell to 2-5 in the Greater Metro Conference and 7-7 overall. They host Sussex Hamilton at 7:30 p.m. Friday and visit West Allis Hale at 6 p.m. Jan. 29.
They tipped the Huskies, 68-66, in overtime in the first meeting.
A sluggish third quarter hurt the Hustlin' Hawks in a 47-42 loss to Oak Creek on Friday.
Greenfield led 26-23 at the half but was outscored 12-4 in the third period to fall behind 35-30, and the Knights held on from there.
Sonnie Wilbert tallied 12 points, Travis Reszcynski 11 and Kyle Schahczinski six points for the Hawks, who fell to 6-9 on the season.
They host Pewaukee at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then visit South Milwaukee at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29.
The Falcons' slide continued with a 67-38 loss to Pewaukee on Friday.
Jackie Gruszka tallied 17 points with a trio of 3-point field goals and Rachael Shulta added six points with two 3-pointers.
Whitnall, which has struggled with injuries, has lost four of five to fall to 5-5 in the Woodland Conference East Division and 8-6 overall.
The Falcons visit Greendale at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Brown Deer at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29.
Brookfield Central exploded to a 37-18 halftime lead, then went on to a 75-35 victory over the Huskies on Friday.
Derrick Waller led Hale with 11 points and Travis Balcerzak added eight points.
The Huskies, who went into this week at 1-6 in the Greater Metro Conference and 7-7 overall, visit Marquette at 7:30 p.m. Friday and welcome West Allis Central at 6 p.m. Jan. 29.
The Huskies lost to Brookfield Central, 60-26, on Friday.
Sarah Mueller tallied 10 points and Marissa Rechlicz five for Hale, which slipped to 2-5 in the Greater Metro Conference and 3-9 overall.
The Huskies host Divine Savior Holy Angels at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then welcome West Allis Central at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29.
The Bulldogs dropped a 44-24 decision to Wauwatosa East on Friday.
Bria Brown scored nine points for Central, which fell to 0-7 in the Greater Metro Conference and 1-11 overall.
The Bulldogs visit Sussex Hamilton at 7:30 p.m. Friday and West Allis Hale at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29.

Raymond was born near Snyder on June 14, 1921. He lived with his parents, Charles and Ella Baughman, on a farm northwest of Snyder until he was drafted into the Navy.
The following clips are from a book of memories Raymond had written several years ago.
"Dad always told us if we wanted something, work and save your money and get it. When I was about 13, I started trapping muskrats and skunks and selling their hides for $1.25 each. My dog and I hunted rabbits and sold them to a neighbor for fox feed at 10 cents apiece.
As I went through high school, things got better financially so I didn't have to work all the time. I went out for track. I ran the 800 yard race and came in third place out of 15 schools.
After graduating in 1939 I continued helping on the farm but it was not big enough to make a living for two men, so I started working out where're I could find a job and rented some land from a neighbor.
It was the end of the Dust Bowl period. I got a job helping to clean out the Riverside Ditch which filled with dirt when a storm would hit. I used a team of horses and a scraper to pull the dirt out one slip at a time. It was a horse killer and wore me down too, but the pay was good.
When Pearl Harbor was attacked, I got a draft notice. Dad and I requested a three-month delay until crops were harvested. I was granted one week.
I joined the Navy and was sent to Boot Camp in San Diego. This was a drastic change in my life. I was not used to taking orders. Now the military took over and did my thinking for me. The first phase of my life was ended. This shows how young farmers grew up in that period of time.
After 13 weeks in Boot Camp, I was sent to Great Lakes Naval Fire Control School where I learned electric and hydraulic system for firing guns and hitting a target 10 miles away. After three months there I was sent back to San Diego for advanced fire control training. From there I was sent to Washington, D.C. where I was advanced to Petty Officer First Class. It was there I met Doris Green and before long we were married.
After my hitch in the Navy we returned to Snyder where we farmed and started a dairy. From there we moved to Loveland, Colorado, continuing farming and dairy and then to Anaheim, California, where I established my own business in landscaping. I stayed with the landscaping until our four children were grown. I retired and Doris and I moved to Houston where our youngest son was employed by a school district."
Raymond is survived by his four children, Carol Simas of Santa Maria, CA, Doug Baughman of Maui, Hawaii, Mark Baughman of Houston and Jan of San Francisoc, CA, with their spouses; four grandchildren; four sisters, Lucille Reno of Snyder, Wilma Cole of Fort Collins, Reta Remington of Green VAlley, AZ and Doris Jean DeGraw of LaBarge, WY, plus nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by this wife, Doris, two brotherss Elton and Roy and his parents.

Bluejay runners going to state
The Mancos boys cross-country team, and girls' runner Kristin Adams, will be traveling to Colorado Springs this weekend to compete in the Colorado High School Activities Association 2A Cross-Country State Championships.
"This is really exciting," said Justin Burton.
Burton and the rest of the team will be practicing this week to get ready for the stiff competition in Colorado Springs.
The boys team consists of Burton, Brandon McKie, Zane Willburn, Ro Paschal, Asa Kearns, Nic Archuleta and Vincent Grego. Kristin Adams is the lone Lady Bluejay representing Mancos High School.
The bus carrying the team will leave Friday morning and the whole school will come out to cheer them on their way.
Most of the races the athletes run are about three miles in length, or a 5-kilometer, which is 3.2 miles. Their preparation for a state meet, they said, is not much different than for any other meet. "Other than drinking lots of water to make sure I stay hydrated," said Burton.
Mancos head coach Brady Archer is thrilled for his team's opportunity.
"I'm really proud of these kids," Archer said. "They've worked really hard for this."
The girls will race Saturday at 9:30 a.m., and the boys will race at 11:30 at the Norris Penrose Event Center.
The team traveled to Confluence Park in Delta to compete in the 2A Region 4 Meet last Wednesday. Mancos was led by Justin Burton's seventh-place finish in a personal best time of 17 minutes, 10 seconds. Ro Paschal was next across the line in 17:30, which was good for 15th-place. Close behind in 19th was Brandon McKie in a time of 18:03. Asa Kearns finished at 22nd with a time of 18:55. Nic Archuleta was next in 31st in a time of 19:50. Zane Willburn finished off the team scoring in 43rd-place with a 21:30 time.
The individual regional champion was Will Scoggins from Rangley in a time of 16:14. The Mancos Bluejays finished in fourth behind regional team champion Telluride. The fourth-place finish secured a place at state for the Mancos boys team. Hotchkiss and Crested Butte finished second and third to go to state.
"It was great to have our boys make it and I know they were pretty excited to be going to state," Mancos coach Brady Archer said. "They are in such a tough region. We knew that our runners were going to have to run a great team race today to make it to state."
The Bluejays raced great on one of the Western Slope's most grueling courses.
"This race in Delta is always so fast. I always let our runners know just how fast this course runs," Archer said. "We had a bunch of young runners this year and our more experienced runners kept telling them, they would have to get out, (be) controlled, but fast on this course. Almost every runner had a personal best on this course, which is great to see at this time of year."
Mancos competed against teams from Rangely, Meeker, DeBeque, Hotchkiss, Paonia, Crested Butte, Ouray, Lake City, Telluride and Dolores.
For the girls, Kristin Adams led the way with a 14th-place finish in 22:5.44. Kia Baikie finished just out of the top 15 state qualifiers in 16th with a time of 22:5.78. Maya Bonde finished out the team score with a 31st-place finish in 26:44. The individual regional champion was Rachel Hampton from Telluride in 18:48. The Mancos Lady Bluejays finished in fifth-place. The regional team champion was Hotchkiss.
"Our girls came up just short. We had one girl make it and Kia came up .14 seconds short of making it. That was a tough race," Archer said. "Four girls were within .6 of a second of each other around the 13th-16th places. Kia and Maya had improved so much this season, that it is tough to see their seasons end short of state. It was great to see kids, who may not of thought of themselves as great runners earlier this season, working hard to help out their teammates. It makes me proud to see so many of them run so well and achieve their goals as runners."

Hoteliers, marketing directors, and revenue managers in particular are continuously learning how to put the pieces of the puzzle together when it comes to creative and effective options for selling out room nights. Numerous challenges arise with the plethora of new distribution technology, which complicate the process of directly reaching the guest, or even controlling a hotel's presence on the variety of brand and third party websites.
The Director of Sales and Marketing at The Langham Boston, Rachelle Boudreau, emphasized this challenge. "It is difficult to be aware of the various distribution channels, as so many are changing daily and being bought by other companies. These distribution partners are then taking the inventory and selling it online through other third parties. Additionally, some tour wholesalers try to re-sell the inventory through other online travel operators in other countries, who, in turn, will place inventory on a B2B (business to business) and B2C (to consumer) websites, which can ultimately diminish the hotel's rate parity."
Knowing how confusing the digital marketing and distribution landscape can be, how do hotels manage their options to sell inventory, particularly

Home Sweet Home
Works from the
Peter Fay collection
11 October 18 January 2004
Auburn, NSW, Australia 1972
Storm sequence 2000
PF I came upon a Shaun painting at a Helen Lempriere Scholarship exhibition, in a sea of what was then termed 'Grunge', and here was this beautifully painted double figure; two historical figures.
And I immediately recognised an extraordinary talent in this young painter; found him out and became quite engaged with his work, and immediately asked him to do a piece of work, for a very small amount of money, and to get him to do something that he had not explored before.
After a couple of months Shaun rang me to say that the work was finished, and that it was a video. I thought 'Oh, dear oh dear' My heart sank. But I thought 'No, this is good. I've got to support this, and I've got to be interested', and he had arranged a studio at the Art School. He was still in the final year of his masters, I think, and he showed me this most extraordinary video piece of his skateboarding.
I didn't even know he was a skateboarder. I was just transfixed by the beauty of this image of this skater pirouetting in slow motion, with the huge drama of the sea; the seascape behind him this incredible storm at sea. All these were elements of luck; the storm and so forth. And then with the rain falling on the lens of the camera transforming what was a video piece it becomes almost a pointillist, almost an impressionist painting, as the blurring, still with this figure eternally circling almost like an angel or some celestial body ready to return to another void; to another planet; to another world.
And taking its leave in this last gyration, which just goes on, and on, and on. It's quite mesmeric, quite simple in its dynamic, and yet the poetry and the intensity, and the sense of drama that is captured.
I think it is an extraordinary video. This to me contained all the elements that I just think that great video art holds, and I just feel that in this young artist there is an extraordinary talent.

The book Atua: sacred gods from Polynesia will be available at the NGA Shop for $39.95 and selected bookstores nationally for $49.95.
Ancient Polynesia remains one of the great mysteries of human migration. Groups of people sailing on double-hulled canoes eventually made their way out from the edges of the Western Pacific and found islands in the middle of the ocean, thousands of kilometres away.
How did they do it? Were these feats of navigation and survival pure chance, when few of the intrepid voyagers reached an island and unknown numbers died in the attempt? Or was there something more?
Polynesian people reached Tonga and Samoa in Western Polynesia 3000 years ago bringing with them their atua–their gods–and their art traditions, part of their cultural knowledge developed over thousands of years.
During a later period of long-distance sailing around 1200 years ago, the navigators headed further east into unknown territory. They found the islands we know today as the Cook Islands, the Society Islands including Tahiti, and the Marquesas Islands.
From the Marquesas Islands, the great Polynesian navigators of the mid-fourteenth century found Hawaii to the north, Aotearoa New Zealand to the south, and Rapa Nui Easter Island to the east.
Oral traditions tell us that upon landing on an island, the chief's first action was to establish a sacred enclosure so that he could provide a home for his atua, which he brought with him. These sacred enclosures eventually became the structures known as marae, heiau, or ahu, and were the point of interaction between the people, priests and the atua, often through the medium of an art object. Artists created unique objects, often figure sculpture, to house these atua, to provide them with a home and a focus.
Even on small atolls 40 or more sacred enclosures have been found. Some were for family shrines, others for larger family groupings, and at least one on each island for the national shrine–for the king or chief. Atua were part of life on every level of society, and most atua were represented by an artwork.
In hierarchical Polynesian society the aristocracy (the ariki) could trace their ancestry back to the moment when one of their ancestors made love with a god. This divine essence gave aristocrats the authority to command the ordinary people. This authority was also essential to survive the long ocean journeys of up to 100 days.
For aristocrats to maintain their semi-divine status, they needed the atua and their presence, located in art objects that became the focus of their power.
On many islands, where the people had divided into two or more opposed groups, warfare became part of life. Sometimes the cause for a war would go back many generations–perhaps a dispute between two brothers that had occurred hundreds of years earlier.
To gain the advantage over an enemy, leaders would try to invoke the help of atua, and eventually this led to human sacrifice. This did not occur on every island, but on the larger islands this was the accepted ritual.
When war broke out, often the key objective of a raiding party would be to seize the atua of the enemy and carry it away in triumph. Without their atua, the people would lose the will to fight and would be defeated. One of the key objectives in life was to gain the help or influence of an atua, and people would go to any lengths to achieve this.
Some societies thought that Western explorers or traders visiting in ships were atua. Women in their hundreds would swim out to the ships so that they could make love with an atua–to the astonishment of the sailors. The women would climb up the anchor chains, crawl through gun ports and climb the rigging, with the beleaguered captain hard put to regain control of his ship and his men.
After that initial period of interaction with Westerners, missionaries began to arrive in ships with the aim of abolishing idolatry as they saw it–Polynesian people making sacrifices in front of art objects in sacred enclosures. The missionaries could see the link between idolatry and human sacrifice, and they coerced the kings or leaders to break with their religious practices and destroy their religious objects.
As the people began to convert to Christianity their art objects were burnt or smashed. Very few survived the iconoclasm that began in the late eighteenth century and continued through into the early twentieth century. Some of the missionaries, especially those belonging to the London Missionary Society, returned home with these 'idols' to display and raise funds for their missionary work; eventually giving them to museums.
For its new exhibition Atua: sacred gods from Polynesia, the National Gallery of Australia has negotiated loans from more than 30 museum collections around the world. The British Museum is lending unique Hawaiian god figures and the Kunstkamera in St Petersburg is lending their precious Easter Island bird man. The Vatican Ethnological Museum is lending their great god Tu from Mangareva. Museums in Zurich, Geneva, and Paris are all lending their prized Polynesian pieces.
The exhibition explores the relationship between atua and art, between spirits and sculpture, between gods and priests, between women and men. It looks at some of the most unique works of art in the Polynesian world and tries to make sense of an enduring mystery surrounding religious objects and their association with belief in gods.
Religious belief is never an easy topic to work with, for each viewer brings a perspective shaped over a lifetime of experience and cultural background. The Western belief system does not generally acknowledge the existence of spirits in wood or in stone art objects, even though we may quite happily talk about an object having a remarkable presence.
In this exhibition 'presence' is something the viewer may experience. It may be the thrill of standing in the presence of a real god from a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean–a battered god, a god that has lost his arms, yet a god that can stand up today, on his four legs, looking past you into the night with his unseeing eyes, imparting a sense of stillness and peace.
The presence found in an Easter Island moai kavakava, gaunt, haunted, with glittering eyes staring into another world, a figure with an aku-aku inside him–either a wild spirit or an ancestor, something that kept him alive for more than 600 years.
Tiki figures–from the Marquesas Islands, from Tahiti, from Hawaii and from Aotearoa New Zealand–are a type of art object that we think we all know about, until we realise that we are familiar with the word 'tiki', but the art object is still a mystery. There is good evidence to indicate that the tiki concept came to Polynesia from South America, either directly to the Marquesas Islands by Polynesian navigators, who also made the return journey, or by Inca who sailed to Rapa Nui Easter Island by raft.
In developing this exhibition we have been fortunate to work with our Polynesian colleagues in Tahiti, the Cook Islands and Hawaii, helping us to understand the Polynesian viewpoint on atua and on the many subtle aspects of the relationships between atua and art objects. Without their help we would not have been able to achieve an awareness that has enabled us to work with the presence in these objects.

It's an age-old question that defines friendships and divides nations; romances live or die by the answer: are you a CAT or DOG person?
Last week, Hotel for Dogs opened in theaters, so Scholastic and THE STACKS caught this exclusive interview with one of the stars, Emma Roberts. Get the DL on what it's like to film a movie with animals and learn all about Emma, directly from Emma herself!
Emma on Hotel for Dogs:
Had you read the book it was based on?
I hadn't. But it was funny because the author [Lois Duncan] actually came to set, and she said to me, "You're much prettier and much skinnier than the Andi I imagined in the book." I was like, "Oh, okay, thank you." She was just so sweet; she was the sweetest woman . . . I was really glad because she wrote it; it's really personal to her, so I'm glad she liked what she saw.
[Nancy] The movie is based on a novel written by Lois Duncan in 1971. Yes, that young adult author Lois Duncan, who up until this point I only knew as the author of thrillers for teens. And this April (38 years after the original!), the first sequel , News for Dogs is being published. You learn something everyday . . . By the way, I did some sleuthing on the web, and Lois Duncan cameos in one of the crowd scenes in the movie — look out for her! If you don't know what she looks like, here's a picture of her at the movie premiere:
Do you identify with Andi at all?
I definitely identify with her in some scenes. She kind of felt awkward in social settings sometimes, and I think we all feel like that at some point. You know, in high school, you go to a party and you don't really know anyone and you feel uncomfortable. I could definitely relate to her in that way.
[Nancy] Whoa, I can't imagine Emma feeling awkward in a social setting (but she does act it wonderfully). Also, make sure not to confuse Andi with Annie, played by Shenae Grimes on the new 90210. I did for a sec — I think they look alike. What do you guys think?
Andi is really responsible and loves and takes care of her little brother. Do you tend to do that or are you more of a loner?
She's definitely responsible. I'm responsible too. She's more responsible than me, though, I think. I'm very forgetful. She's not. I have a little sister that I try to look after, but she's very mature for her age and doesn't need much looking after from me. [My sister is] 7, almost 8.
[Nancy] In Duncan's original story, Andi is actually 10 years old, and Bruce (played in the movie by Wizards of Waverly Place actor Jake T. Austin) is supposed to be 12 — in the movie, Andi is 16. They updated this just so Emma could star.
What was the most fun part of the movie?
The cast was really fun, the dogs were great to work with, and the other kids in the movie were so much fun. For me, that's great — to be able to go to work and get along with people and hang out during breaks and on lunch. That's really important 'cause it keeps the mood up on set.
What was the highlight of working with Don [Cheadle]?
He was great. He has such a great sense of humor, and he's really fun. He's a sweet guy. He has kids, and he knows how to work with kids.
What do you hope kids take away from this?
I hope they go out of the movie with a smile, having enjoyed it . . . There are so many messages in it . . . just be comfortable with yourself, and it's important to look after other people and not just think about yourself and be selfish. That's what I really liked about the movie.
Working with Dogs on Set:
Did you do any preparation for the movie?
Yeah, we did a lot of rehearsals just 'cause there were a bunch of kids in the movie so we rehearsed with each other. And we had to get to know the dogs, so we had bonding days with the dogs.
[Nancy] There were 100+ dogs on set for this movie — can you even imagine bonding with 100 dogs? Think of the shedding! The drool! The poop!!!
What did that involve? Did they give you treats for them?
Gross treats. We would put baby food on our finger and they would lick it off . . . The dog is licking my whole arm and my face, and I was like (big intake of breath), "Oh my God! Well, it's cleaner than a human's mouth." And then I'd see the dog licking its butt. I don't think so!
[Nancy] Uh, I rest my case:
Do you have a favorite scene?
The dog stuff was fun; it was hard but definitely fun. I liked the stuff in the car that was shaped like a dog. The were pulling us by this trailer, and we had to pretend we were driving.
What made you passionate about this?
I thought it was a really great family movie, and there were great people attached. I love Lisa Kudrow. She's such a genuinely nice lady, amazing to work with; she's hilarious. On Friends she was always my favorite. And Don Cheadle, he's amazing.
If there were a hotel for dogs, would you take your dog?
I would. I think it would be cool to drop your dog off and have it get pampered for, like, a week. It would be fun.
Did you take any souvenirs home?
I didn't. I wanted to take a little pug puppy. They were in it at the end. I would have taken one of the pugs.
Emma and Her Four-Legged Friends:
Do you have a dog?
It's a little long-haired Chihuahua. We surprised my sister . . . Me and my mom went out and got it, and we brought [Twiggy] home and my sister thought it was a kitten at first. She was like, "You got us another cat?" and I'm like, "Grace, it's a dog." "A dog!? I didn't think you were gonna get me a dog." It was really funny. It was in a little cage, and she totally thought it was a cat.
[Nancy] That poor dog! When it grows up it'll have an identity crisis.
Do you want another dog or would Twiggy not like that?
Twiggy does not get along with other dogs, but I definitely want one, a little pug.
What breed of dog would you be?
A Cocker Spaniel or a border collie.
In the movie, Shep the border collie was my favorite dog. I would play with it when we weren't shooting. I loved it. I wanted to take it home. It was the most well-behaved and the most beautiful dog. I really loved it. And Cocker Spaniels I think are so cute and fun. I love them.
What was your favorite book growing up?
When I was really younger I read the Junie B. Jones series, when I was, like, in second grade, and my sister reads them now .
Why is reading important?
It's important 'cause it fills your imagination and builds your vocabulary. I know it's helped me a lot in recognizing what words mean. Instead of watching TV in your free time, it's great to pick up a book. It's so much more of a substantial hobby than sitting in front of the TV, I think.
Favorite cartoon?
Powerpuff Girls. I just love them. I want them to make a live action movie . . . I never liked cartoons when I was younger. I hated cartoons. Animated movies, I hated them. I would never go see them. I only liked people movies. I only watched Powerpuff Girls and Scooby-Doo.
What would you like to accomplish with your career?
I just hope to keep doing movies that I love and enjoying myself and having fun and not doing things I don't want to do. I've been doing movies that I'm passionate about, and I've always done that. I hope to continue to do that. And maybe start other things, like writing.
[Nancy] Emma should head over to our Fan Fiction Buzz Board!
Anything you can't live without?
Probably my iPod, especially when I'm traveling. I always need to be listening to music when I'm on a plane or in a long car ride.
What's on it?
I'm listening to a lot of stuff. I really like Jason Mraz and Katie Perry. The Watson Twins are really cool. Sheryl Crow. I listen to a lot of her '90s stuff that I just love.
What advice do you have for those who admire you?
Career: you have to stay determined in what you want to do and not let other people throw you off. Go after what you want to do. And just know that being a teenager will pass. When you think about it when you're older — I'm not even that old and I look back on things I did when I was 14 and I
can't believe I was worried about that. Everything seems so major. Even now, I think something is the end of the world, and then I realize it's really not. Generally, I try to be a good role model, be a nice person and be helpful and not go out to places I shouldn't be. I try to keep my private life private.
[Nancy] I think this is wonderful advice!
Is there a social cause you're passionate about?
I definitely care a lot about the environment, and I'm trying to put the word out about that. Even the little things help a lot. Turn off the lights when you're done, and don't leave the water running. Recycle. Easy things like that, that don't take any more effort than you're already putting in.
Any embarrassing moment story to share from school?
I was always in detention when I was in school. I was always late to class. And dress code violations. I went to a uniform school. Sometimes I would not wear the uniform shirt, and that was a detention. I knew it was a detention, but I would do it anyway. That's another thing that I look back on; I don't know why I did that.
An embarrassing moment I can think of on Hotel for Dogs:
We were doing a scene in a studio where the refrigerator had this huge glass vase on top of it. I opened the refrigerator, and it was a fake one so it shook and the glass vase fell and smacked me in the face. I didn't get stitches, but I had these huge welts on my face that they had to cover up, and I was crying and I felt embarrassed that I was crying. Everyone made a big deal out of it; they were like, "You have to go lie down."
Is there a question you wish you were never asked again?
"Do I get any advice from my aunt?" is a question I wish I were never asked again.
[Nancy] Emma's aunt is the very famous Julia Roberts. I can see why people would ask her that a lot!
This month, Emma also starts filming a movie called The Winning Season, a basketball movie, with Sam Rockwell:
So you have to learn to play basketball?
Yeah. I'm training. It's really difficult. I was a volleyball and tennis girl. I stayed away from basketball. I never liked it. And then I started for the movie, and I really enjoy it now. But it's really hard . . . It's a really fun sport. You have to really work with your teammates, so we're having team practice starting next week.
Does athletics run in your family?
My mom is very athletic. She used to ski and play tennis really well. She tried to teach me how to ski when I was younger, and I had to have a clip on my skis 'till I was, like, 13. And then she said she wouldn't ski with me if I didn't get rid of the clip, so I decided to snowboard. I've never gotten back on skis again.
[Nancy] Ha ha, I have something in common with Emma! I've been skiing only once and
never have gone back since getting on a snowboard.
Emma's on Her Upcoming Movies and Her Career:
Will there be another Nancy Drew movie?
I don't think so, no. Only one Nancy Drew.
Career-wise, would you like to follow your aunt's footsteps?
I kind of want to do my own thing. I want to create my own path. She's done amazing movies and she's a great actress, so I'd love to do stuff like her, but I don't want to be just like her.
What's been your biggest obstacle to overcome?
Probably just trying to make a name for myself. I don't always want to be referred to as Julia Roberts' niece. It's difficult when people think that I only get parts because of that. There have been so many auditions I've been on where I haven't gotten the part and people don't
think about that. They just think about the stuff I've gotten.
Who is your biggest role model?
Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon. They started when they were way younger than me, and they're working and doing movies and they have personal lives that not everyone knows about. I think that's great.
Who would you love to work with most?
I'd love to work with Steven Spielberg. He's an amazing director.

It was a Friday… like any other Friday until… I clicked open the e-message from Urban Daddy/LA. In a moment, my spirits were lifted as I read the headline that I would soon be able to enjoy Enchiladas and Tequilas from one of my favorites, Rick Bayless, in Los Angeles. My only disappointment was the Red O would not be open until the 26th of May, as I was looking for a great spot to share dinner with friends on the 22nd.
So, what's so special about Rick Bayless… and why am I writing about his new restaurant in a blog dedicated to all things chocolate? Quite simply, he's nothing short of a culinary genius, he's a really nice guy to boot and he loves chocolate, too! Some of his chocolate creations were the inspiration of our wonderfully rich and exotic Azetca chocolate available in our Bars section and select truffles as well.
I first became aware of Rick Bayless during one of my many trips to Chicago back in the late eighties. Chicago is one of the best restaurant cities in the country though, at the time, there wasn't a lot of great Mexican or Latin cuisine in the mix (not withstanding some killer taco stands). Frontera Grill changed all that. Chef Bayless introduced vibrant flavors, bold colors and exciting textures from Mexico that, while foreign to most Midwesterners, created a buzz so intense that even one of his fabulous margaritas couldn't extinguish it. Just two short years later, Topolobampo was born… an elegant sister to Frontera Grill located right next door. Chef Bayless educated Chicagoans about the regional flavors of Mexico and showed that the French have nothing on Mexico when it comes to fine cuisine.
While I could always count on finding a great chocolate dessert on either of Chef Bayless' menus, his next creation—XOCO (slang for "little sister"), put chocolate front and center. Believe me, there's nothing like quite being handed a rich and frothy cup of hot chocolate ground from Mexican cacao beans on a cold Chicago morning. It's the perfect chaser for one of Rick's sinful chocolate churros and is guaranteed to warm the cockles of your heart and other body parts, too. YUM! Of course, you can enjoy a similar sensation—piping hot or chillin' out—with Choclatique's beverage mixes, each made from real ground chocolate (no cheap cocoa powders here!).
I've never met the Chef, but after watching him on Top Chef Masters last year, seeing both his creativity and humility on display under pressure, I can't wait to do so. So, rest assured that come Tuesday, I'll be priming my dialing finger to get a table at Red O as soon as the reservations line opens!
Are you a Bayless fan, too? Let me know what you love about Chef Rick… and chocolate, too!
