Blugold Mile experience
Blugold alumni are invited to campus May 1 to join hundreds of UW-Eau Claire students, alumni, faculty and staff in cheering runners through the Blugold Mile during the Eau Claire Marathon.

Champions of The Power of AND
Spotlighting alumni and other Blugolds who exemplify The Power of AND
educator AND entrepreneur
Dr. Matthew Meyer
When Dr. Matthew Meyer earned his degree in philosophy from UW-Eau Claire he knew the skills he developed during his undergraduate years would serve him well in graduate school and beyond.
After all, the critical and creative thinking skills he nurtured through his liberal arts studies are exactly the kinds of skills he needed to succeed in what he hoped would be a teaching career at the university level.
After earning his graduate degree at Stony Brook University in New York, Matthew returned to the Midwest, where he now serves as an assistant professor of philosophy and religious studies at his alma mater. He credits his philosophy degree with allowing him to pursue his dream career of teaching and writing philosophy, but also with instilling in him an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit.
In 2008, Matthew and his wife, Jill, started a hobby business called Tired Ol' Belts. Through their business, they make belts out of recycled bicycle tires and other recycled bike parts. The business is an opportunity to combine their passions for environmental awareness, vegan fashion and the cycling culture. Matthew says their approach to business is in the very nature of philosophical thinking. Full story.

An officer of McBride Oil Company has admitted violating the state's price-gouging law at two Sumter County gas stations in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The plea deal ends a legal case that he thought concluded with his payment of a $10,000 fine in November.
Jason McBride's sworn statement, filed with the county clerk's office Monday, was sought by prosecutors when he did not appear in court to plead guilty along with paying the fine.
A grand jury indicted McBride, secretary-treasurer of McBride Oil, in September 2005 for violating the pricing act on Aug. 31.
Sumter County District Attorney Greg Griggers said McBride sold gasoline at $3.69 a gallon. McBride said the retail price of gasoline at two stores was briefly $3.49 based on his purchase price of $3.29 a gallon.

So I've been reading up on the Disney Infinity game as a possible gift for my niece and nephew. During my research, I read that that there is a really cool "Easter Egg" to be found in the game if you combine the game with your MagicBand.
Reportedly, if you touch your MagicBand to your Infinity Base, then youll unlock a Disney Dragon.
Has anyone else heard this? Or has anyone tried it out?

Mahukpego Group
Rébeca is 49 years old. She is married to a fisherman called Pierre and is the mother of 6 children. None of the children attend school. Of the 6 children, Rébeca and her husband are only responsible for two. The couple both contribute to the household's different needs. Rébeca has been selling fish and prawns from her home and on the street for around 20 years, in order to be able to cover her various expenses. She gets her supplies locally.
Rébeca would like to increase her inventory, so that she can strengthen her business further and is better able to respond to customer demand. To be able to do that, she is requesting a 5th loan from ALIDé, together with the other members of the Mahukpego group. The 4 previous loans were correctly repaid.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

LMAO why would anyone buy an insolvent company?
Iranian oil minister saying no way will they freeze until they get back to 4 million bpd and that Russia should "leave us alone." So no way on earth Saudis will freeze and risk losing their all important market share to their mortal enemies Iran. Insiders no saying the supposed talks on March 20 are in doubt because of Iran's refusal to participate in a freeze. Kuwait also not on board. Oil going back down folks
and Iranian oil exports up 20% last month alone. Oil is going back down, CHK is going bankrupt
and Iran's exports up 20% in feb. meanwhile these junk names going out of biz in the US
exactly. are these guys above nuts????
what does that tell you?
they will need to do another raise for sure by end of year. the bulk of this $ raised will go towards a $345 million debt service due from last month. this is in serious trouble
this manipulation will go on for a few more days as long as oil doesnt plunge. but when offering is complete it will pullback for sure.

RIETI, Italy (AP) — World record holder David Rudisha ran the fastest 800 meters of the year Saturday at the Rieti Grand Prix.
Returning to the site where he set the record, the recently crowned world champion Kenyan was timed in 1 minute, 41.33 seconds for the two-lap race, improving on the 1:42.61 he ran in Monaco in July. His world mark set last year is 1:41.01.
Rudisha cruised to victory at the worlds in Daegu, South Korea, last month in 1:43.91.
He has always performed well in Rieti, setting a then-African record of 1:42.01 in 2009.
Eight world records have been set at the Raul Guidobaldi stadium over the years. There were none Saturday, there was also a season best in the 1,500 as Asbel Kiprop, another Kenyan world champion, ran 3:30.46.

BEIJING (AP) — An American man held by North Korea for a half year, reportedly for proselytizing, will return to the United States after being brought to Beijing by a U.S. envoy who negotiated his release.
Envoy Robert King told reporters after arriving in Beijing on Saturday that the detained American, Eddie Jun, had been released and would be reunited with his family. Jun did not appear before reporters.
King had traveled to North Korea with a team of specialists earlier in the week to assess the severity of North Korea's latest food shortages. The envoy said he did not agree to provide North Korea with assistance, apparently trying to quash speculation of a deal to obtain Jun's freedom.

Amber's mystery
With no solid clues since the Escondido teen disappeared a year ago, family and police remain frustrated and heartbroken over …
A walk-a-thon to raise money for the Amber Leeanne Dubois Trust Fund is 8 a.m. Saturday at Escondido High School, 1535 N. Broadway. For information, go to BringAmberHome.com or AmberLeeanneDubois.com.
A $100,000 reward has been offered for information about Amber's whereabouts. Call (760) 743-8477. When Amber disappeared, she was 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighed 130 pounds, and had brown hair and blue eyes.
On a dresser in Amber Dubois' bedroom sits a pile of neatly folded clothes. For the longest time, Carrie McGonigle, Amber's mother, was unable to make herself clean her daughter's jeans and blouses. Just last month she finally washed the items, almost a year after Amber went missing.
Saturday marks the anniversary of her disappearance. She was 14 at the time and would be 15 now, if she is alive.
"I never want to say it, but I would rather lose a child to death then to have a child missing," said McGonigle, 42. "I have a friend whose daughter died. She said she would rather know that (her child) was in heaven than not know where she is at all."
Amber disappeared shortly after 7 a.m. Feb. 13 while walking to classes at Escondido High School. Despite thousands of hours of continuing investigation, what happened is still a deep mystery.
"This case has been very hard on everybody involved," Escondido police Sgt. John Russo said. "Nobody can pretend to know what it's like to lose a child unless it's happened to you. But as professional peace officers, we feel very frustrated by this as well because we take great pride in our job.
"We know no more today than we did on Feb. 13. We've done a lot of work, thousands of hours in trying to solve that, but the reality is in most cases we've moved on from 7:09 a.m. at the school. And we're still stuck there."
The school is less than a mile from where Amber lived on Fire Mountain Place with her mother, her mother's boyfriend, David Cave, and her younger sister, Allison. A few months after Amber disappeared, McGonigle felt she had to move out of the house.
"I couldn't be a mom to my 5-year-old; she's 6 now," McGonigle said. "I would just go up to Amber's room and cry and yell at her if she would come near me. I isolated myself. I just couldn't function in this house with the memories and everything."
Allison has been seeing a counselor since the second week. At first she was angry and said terrible things, such as that she hated Amber, McGonigle said. "She just didn't know how to deal with it." She's much better now, her mother said.
When McGonigle moved from Cave's house to another home in Escondido, she took with her the small futon that Amber slept on. When she returns to her boyfriend's house now, she said, she usually curls up on the floor where the futon had been and cries. Amber's books, including the Harry Potter series that Amber, a voracious reader, read in its entirety in three weeks, are still in a bookcase. The posters and photographs of wolves that Amber loved so much still adorn the walls.
A cat named Robin that Amber got on her 10th birthday cries at night to be let in and sleep like she did before Amber went away.
The Escondido Police Department has one detective assigned full time to the case and, with the assistance of the FBI and many other agencies, continues to check tips and leads as they come in. Just last week police were at Escondido High re-interviewing Amber's friends.

Hi, i have a Windows Vista running Toshiba laptop. Since last few days whenever i start the laptop i balloon pop up comes up saying: "You have files waiting to be burned to disc". When i click this pop up it opens a Window showing up empty g: drive with a message to place writable dvd.
Let me tell you that this G Drive is the DVD reader so i dont know how can we write DVD from here. I am not sure but i guess there maybe some files in cache to write on the g: drive which is making the pop up appear every time. What you guys think? If yes, then where can i find this cache? Also is there any alternate working solution to get rid of this balloon pop up? It is getting annoying day by day.
Many thanks.

Egypt's Alexandria gripped by feud over future
At the press conference, he praised his supporters, some of whom offered to come from other parts of the country with automatic weapons to defend him. He said his own appeals for restraint had prevented bloodshed.
"We are lucky to have this crowd," he said of his supporters. "We want these forces to be ready at all times ... and maintain discipline, because this will be a support for the police force, until it recovers."
Khaled, the Alexandria writer, said the Islamists are "creating a system within the system."
"Are they now planning to create neighborhoods for themselves, creating a Beirut?" he said in reference to the Lebanese capital at the height of its civil war.

Super Junior"s Leeteuk Says He Misses Kang Sora
The March 29 broadcast of tvN′s enews visited the appointment ceremony for the 10th wave of Military Manpower Administration honorary ambassadors held on March 27. Leeteuk and Sangchoo were appointed ambassadors this day.
Leeteuk especially opened up about his former virtual wife Kang Sora, who appeared with him on We Got Married before his enlistment, and talked about how he missed her.
When Sangchoo said he had received autographed CDs from Girls′ Generation (SNSD), Leeteuk said sadly, "I did not get signed CDs from SNSD, and the Super Junior members never came to see me either."

A10 your numbers are little lower than mine. I'm using same motor and 5300s. Your static thrust sounds good though. Anyways, do you have a spark supressor inline per chance? I'm up around 4600-4800W pulling 108 Amps I think.
Make sure the old viofan rotor is balanced. They do not come that way even tho it is BV. I had to do quite a bit to get mine balanced. But overall a nice setup.
I found one of the 4S packs was not balancing correctly so that may be a little bit of the problem. I discharged the pack and then recharged and all cells are within 0.02 volts. The packs are fairly new and only have about five cycles on the bench and three flights in another plane so they may still be settling in.
If you are asking if I have a cap pack the answer is no. If you are asking about something else, I am not clear about the question. There is no noticeable vibration or any such thing so I am confident the rotor is fine. It looked good when I checked the balance. I am going to try to fly again tomorrow so we will see if the balanced packs do any better.

Oh, not the cap pack but rather a resistor to supress the spark you get when plugging the batteries to the motor in an HV system. Doesnt sound like you have that but when I had this first setup, I accidently left the spark supressor plugged in and it really compromised the numbers. Without that and high timing on the motor it really goes.
Yes I do have the anti-spark resistor setup in mine. In fact I have it in all of my electrics with more than 8S. I have tried to run the fan up (not this one but one I had on my test bench) with the resistor plugged in and the fan barely spins up so the reisistor was not plugged in. For those that are interested, I use the remote arming (safe arm) setup from Sharp RC (http://www.sharprc.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=43) and the anti-spark resistor from Xtreme Power Systems. Works very well. . You can see the Sharp RC remote unit at the bottom of the photo (the Deans connector in a ply mount).

Sounds good. Your setup is almost identical to mine. They way you mounted the ESC.. I did the exact same. The only other thing I can think of checking is exhaust dia. should be 3.75 for about 71-72% FSA. Lastly if using the EJF adapter make sure you are not rubbing the rotor up front. I did some work to get the rotor mounted more snug with the center body so the rotor is where it should be in the shroud and helps avoid rubbing. Of course you would hear that as the rotor starts pulling it will extend out a little so there needs to be some clearance between it and the intake ducts.
The arming plug does a couple of things. The arming plug is a simple shorting device that allows either the positive or negative leads of the batteries to be left unconnected/open as long as the shorting plug is not installed. The arming plug is installed in series with either the positive or negative battery leads. The arming plug is simply a shorting plug that completes the connection between the positive or negative battery lead.The thing that the arming plug allows me to do is to install and connect all of the batteries in the plane and then the only thing I have to do when ready to fly is to insert the arming/shorting plug and the batteries are then connected to the ESC. The other thing that the arming plug allows me to do is to insert the anti-spark resistor across the two pins on the connector and this allows the capacitors in the ESC to charge more slowly (see below).
When you connect the batteries to the ESC, the ESC tries to charge the capacitors instantaniously. The anti-spark resistor allows the capacitors in the ESC to charge slowly (approximately 2-3 seconds). Without the anti-spark resistor, when you connect the batteries you get a large spark. This large/intense spark can damage the connectors and over time wear the contact surface of the connector pins/contacts down. According to Castle CreationsTech staff, this spark can be very harmful to the ESC so this anti-spark resistor reduces/minimizes the intesity of the spark and extends the life of the battery connectors.
The exhasut pipe opening is 3 5/8" (stock Maverick exhaust opening). I did check the clearance between the back of the rotor and the adapter and all is well. I did the checks and runup on my test bench and all was well. I am not overly concerned about the watts as the plane flies well. However, if I "feel the need for more speed" I will change the motor to a higher KV and see what happens. The only problem with changing the KV to a higher one is the current goes up and the flight time goes down. I will put more time on the plane and see how it goes, but as I said, I am happy with the plane as it is and will probably leave it as it is for a while.

Within less than a week of launching, Facebook's newest app Poke has plummeted from the number one spot in the Apple App Store to number 36.
It seems to be because loyal Snapchat users are totally bashing the app in the reviews.
Poke and Snapchat let you send self-destructing photos and videos to friends. Snapchat came first, and Facebook copied the idea with Poke.
Here's what a few of the reviews say:
- "Stolen. Use snapchat!"
- "Facebook is lame for doing this"
- "Facebook just pulled a Google+. Not only is this app a blatant ripoff of Snapchat, it is not even a decent attempt. Every aspect of Snapchat is intuitive and easy to use. This is clunky and frustrating. Terrible."
- "This is exactly like Snapchat but a Facebook version. This should be copyright infringement."
- "Wow Zuckerberg way to rip off snapchat. Be original, you seem to have a habit of stealing other people's ideas."
But not everyone dislikes the app. Some actually say Poke is a better version of Snapchat.
"You guys are all just butthurt because snapchat is the same thing," one user wrote in a review. "In my opinion, poke is way better. the layout is easier to use and makes far more sense...all snapchat users should upgrade to this..."
At the time of publication, the majority of Facebook Poke reviews are either five stars or one star, which goes to show that people either absolutely love it or think it's a total ripoff of Snapchat.
In the meantime, Snapchat is sitting comfortably at the number four spot in the App Store.

Compare the two legs. On the left, we have a leg with a sharp corner at the knee, and on the right, we have a nicer looking, more rounded knee. On the left again, the leg is a lot thinner than on the right, and the thigh and, uh, lower leg (technical term please) are the same width. In real life, or on any official sprite at least, the thigh is wider. Last thing, her feet are at really awkward angles to her ankles.
Also, on this whole thing of using other people's sprites, wouldn't it be better to use your own sprites or sprites that people have made specifically for this thread? Anyone can Google lots of sprites and place them in a single post, anyone with a little perseverance can get permission from all of the original creators first. But it takes patience, effort, and a bit of skill to make the sprites yourself. Sorry if this comes across the wrong way, I'm terrible with words and I know that you did in fact create quite a few, but I'm getting the feeling that a good proportion of this resource was straight from Google Images and doesn't really have as much contribution on your part than it should do...

Ratings for Dr. Garnette Sutherland
Dr. Sutherland is fantastic!! When I was diagnosed with a Posterior Fossa Meningioma I was very frightened and concern as my father passed away from a brain tumour in the same area. Dr S quickly put my mind at ease that my type of tumour was a totally different type as my Father's. He and his team removed the tumour and I'm as good as new. I would recommend him to anyone who wants only the best!!
My name is Paul Hutchin and am a patient of Dr. Sutherland, he is my hero! I'd like to put into words what he means to me and what he has done to make my life better, unfortunately I can't find the words to express my gratitude., thank you seems so inadequate. What you do Dr. Sutherland makes a difference!!
I have had two brain surgeries by Dr Sutherland. and I am also confused by the negative comments. Dr Sutherland is very straightforward and tells you exactly how it is, and gives you all the information you need. he has also followed up with me with my difficult case of trigeminal neuralgia. my first operation was to remove a tumor on my auditory nerve, and the second was a microvascular decompression surgery. throughout both surgeries he was heplful, reassuring and very knowledgable. I am still in need of another procedure to again correct my trigeminal neuralgia and he has referred me to another neurosurgeon for a procedure he does not do. I am very blessed to have had and continue to have Dr Surherland in my team. He does appear gruff, as many surgeons do. However, is is very caring and it shows through his work, follow up and everything he does. he does have a sense of humor and that was nice to see. I have read some people do not like his " matter of fact" approach, but I would rather have a doctor who is confident and knowledable then a doctor who is wishy washy and try's to baby me. I am here for a brain surgery not to be. babies. These are serious operations and he approachs them that way. I can not thank him enough for what he continues to do for me. I have rated his staff lower because his secretary can be rude and not helpful. once she would not let me make an appointment with Dr Sutherland because she didn't understand my case. I had to call repeatedly for her to listen. Other then that I continue to trust my life with Dr Sutherland.
Dr. Sutherland is AMAZING. I am confused about the negative comments as truly in my experience he has followed up with me, has provided in-depth explanations about my issue, he answers my questions easily and without any irritation or hurried manner. And he does have a sense of humor, a great one. I have done my research on this doctor and I think he's brilliant, aside from my own experiences. Very matter of fact personality, knows what he's doing and he's straight up with you which I like. I want facts and not to be coddled or pacified. I highly recommend him and will never give him up.
I was very blest to have Dr. Sutherland and his team work on me. They made a terrifing experiance, into a positive one. I never in a million years would have guessed I would be laughing minutes before my crainiodamy to remove my sphendale meningioma. They did a wonderful job and my recovery has been easy. I thank them all for my second chance!
Once you get to know him, he does have a sense of humour! I think he is awesome. I recently saw him regarding a surgery, he didn't sugar coat it, he told me like it is. Which was great,I would rather that than have someone not tell me all the risks. In this case the risk outweighed the benefits. I would trust this man with my life, he is brilliant.
After waiting 9mos for an appt,he did my surgery within a week. He explained everything and showed me the MRI (I am a SLP) so could understand. He sent me home too early and I had a grand mal seizure. He apologized in front of his staff. I would trust him again.
He operated on my mother after a bleeding aneurysm -- put in a shunt. He is direct, clear, and very busy. I wouldn't give him kudos on bedside manner or overly caring -- but when dealing with a surgeon I want someone who is an ace in the operating theatre, bedside manner be damned. The staff on Unit 112 at the Foothills are incredible and you can draw on tremendous knowledge and support from them (nurses, charge nurses, residents, etc). Dr. Sutherland is a total pro at what he does -- opening up people's heads and fixing bad situations. If that's what has to be done -- then he's your guy.
Dr. Sutherland performed a 14 hour surgery on me. He is point blank with everything, he won't try to sugar coat things. But it was this brutal honesty that helped me so much, after surgery he pushed me to get up and move around, despite the fact that I couldn't stand. Because of him pushing me and barking advice at me I was able to get to rehab in 10 days and was walking within a month. Because of him pushing me and his incredible knowledge during my surgery I have the rest of my life to look forward to, I'm 19 and a student, time is of the essence to me in terms of recovery. I thank him with all my heart, I will say that you won't see anyone beter than him in terms of their skill. My tumor was stuck to my brainstem, but using his robotics Dr. sutherland got it out.
I have only seen this doctor on a consultation and he is point-blank honest. He helped me make a very difficult decision and was openly honest. The doctor that did my surgery had all good things to say about Dr. Sutherland. Great bedside manners.

Easter is a feast of hope and mercy which should enable us to see suffering people with God's love and compassion, Pope Francis said on Easter Sunday March 27. Before giving his blessing urbi et orbi (to the city and the world), the pope said Easter should give people the courage to "blaze trails of reconciliation with God and with all our brothers and sisters." The pope pointed to "those who hunger and thirst, strangers and prisoners, the marginalized and the outcast, the victims of oppression and violence" as those in most need of compassion.

Although he lives a relatively hidden life in a villa in the Vatican Gardens, retired Pope Benedict XVI continues to study modern theological questions and, occasionally, to comment on them publicly. The attention Pope Francis and many Christians are giving to the theme of divine mercy is a "sign of the times" that shows how, deep down, people still experience a need for God, the retired pope told Belgian Jesuit Father Jacques Servais in a written interview.
ROME - In a moving gesture of brotherhood and peace, Pope Francis washed the feet of several refugees, including Muslims, Hindus and Copts. Gestures, like Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, "speak louder than words," he said during the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper. The pope celebrated the March 24 Mass in the courtyard of the Centre for Asylum Seekers at Castelnuovo di Porto, about 25 kms north of Rome.
Canada's Dr. Robert Walley, founder of MaterCare International, made a passionate plea for better maternal health care for African women March 17 at the United Nations. Walley, an obstetrician who first encountered the shocking level of maternal mortality in Africa in Nigeria in 1982, told a UN side event sponsored by the Holy See, Africa needs "a Marshall Plan" to save the lives of women who die in childbirth or shortly afterwards.
Parents who don't supervise their children's online activity and mobile device usage might as well be dropping off their kids at an adult bookstore filled with dangerous strangers. "Keep the computer use in a public area of the home - you never leave a child alone with the Internet," said licensed clinical therapist and family therapist Peter Kleponis.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. - Therapist Peter Kleponis believes it's time for Church-based marriage preparation programs to address pornography addiction and to urge assistance for addicted individuals before proceeding with marriage. "Given the severe harm caused by pornography in marriage, pre-marriage programs have to address this issue," Kleponis said during a talk.
Nine-year-old Annabel Beam suffered from an incurable digestive disorder that put her in constant pain. But when she fell 10 metres, headfirst, into a hollowed tree, she came out of her ordeal unharmed and healed of her disorder. Oh yes, and she also had an encounter with Jesus in heaven. It's a miraculous story that has been turned into a film, Miracles From Heaven, with Jennifer Garner playing Annabel's mother Christy. Kylie Rogers plays the role of young Annabel.
Arizona Artist Ted DeGrazia left behind a huge body of work, with religious and spiritual paintings that have been inspiring people for decades. Yet he was not a churchgoing man and thought he was not holy enough to paint for the Church. "His artwork has its own unique style," said George Maki, who was visiting DeGrazia's gallery in Tucson for the first time. Maki, and his son, Chris, both of Durango, Colo., sat in the room with the DeGrazia Way of the Cross series for half an hour.
After his entire family was killed in Syria, a young man ended up as a refugee in Lebanon. His middle class family used to have resources back home. Now he was alone in a new country with no money, no food and no clothes. His first thought was to avenge his family so he decided to join the so-called Islamic State. He thought ISIS would be the ideal group to join because they are "very religious" and were already fighting the Syrian regime.
Washington - Christians in Libya, Iraq and Syria are victims of genocide carried out by the Islamic State, says a report completed for the Knights of Columbus and In Defence of Christians. Carl Anderson, Knights of Columbus CEO, introduced the 278-page report during a March 10 news conference. The report details dozens of atrocities, Anderson said, adding that those "may only be the tip of the iceberg."

Photographer John Moore is no stranger to combat. As a member of an Associated Press team in 2005, he shared a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for coverage of the war in Iraq and he's done extended stints in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, South Africa, Mexico and Nicaragua and elsewhere in the last 20 years.
Yet despite his relative comfort with being on the frontlines, Moore told the NewsHour from his hotel room in Cairo that his latest assignment -a six-week trip that took him to the uprisings in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya - might have been his most dangerous. Moore recorded the interview for us after sneaking out of Benghazi, Libya en route back to his home in Denver.

(This article is an adaptation of this entry pwassonne.livejournal.com/5446… from my personal blog.)
Last Saturday (that was yesterday), there was a deviantMEET in Paris. It was awesome. Many members of dA staff were there (that is, many Americans, including spyed, founder of dA, in other words, "God". kalistina fangasmed since she got to shake hands with him, but I, on the other hand, didn't realize who he was until a while later (I had figured out that he was important, but not much more...).
Here's what we did : first, get nametags (those stickers were quite impractical btw, but well), say hello to many people we knew but didn't expect to see there (K had told me that DragonChameleon was to be there, but I had a good surprise seeing UmbreoNoctie and Aegis-L, who is really nice. I met him once in real life before, but I didn't know him yet at that time), talk with the developers (one of them is French !), and after a while, sit and draw. I started by doodling a Spiritomb on paper, then I had quite a weird idea, which ended up as a (small,) totally improvised conceptual art installation (ze-gobou.deviantart.com/art/Ar… - the little blue thing is my card, I had made a few of them so that I wouldn't have to scribble down my contact information everytime someone asked. Eventually I didn't use many but they were a great thing to have). I quickly took a picture of it with K's iPhone so I could post it to dA that same evening, but the photo I thought was most interesting turned out to be unworkable - I saw that later and so I had only the close-up left to work with. DeviantArt-ception, anyone ? xD And in the end, I took out my netbook and pen tablet to doodle again, and this time I drew a Mudkip. Since neither that one nor the Spiritomb are too developed or well done, you probably won't see them unless I do a sketch dump. (Makes me think, I probbaly have enough doodles by now to make one). And as everyone was leaving, the last people who stayed got extra goodies (emoticon buttons - which I'd probably have bought sooner or later had they not given them away for free to anyone had a chat with them - and more stickers).
Also, a giant group photo yousry-aref-photos.deviantart.… was taken in the street. Since I was in the back, I am barely visible, but I was there. K was there too, but she was even farther back, since she was chatting with someone (or some people) at the same time (I don't remember who they were, but apparently they weren't too interested in the photo being taken).
I had more or less expressed the idea that I could take advantage of the creative atmosphere and all that to WRITE (I NEVER write in public or even when I'm with a small group of people, seems like a self-confidence issue). I intended to push myself a little, so as to "unblock" myself, but I eventually didn't have any opportunity to do so - first because I didn't have any idea of what to write to begin with, and secondly, because there was too much noise around.
In the end, I was able to point out two issues that I have. They aren't new issues at all, but this day I was able to become aware of them again. The first issue is that I won't get any better at art unless I practice regularly. Someone was saying this about drawing skills, but it also applies to writing, for instance. I would have liked to have more stuff to put up online at the end of the day, but meh. The second issue is that I don't have any "big" artistic project at the moment, and as a consequence, when asked what kind of art I did, I had a hard time finding what to answer. I ended up saying "Pokemon fanart and conceptual art", but it made me sound much less interesting than those semi-professional to professional artists, or than K who was distributing flyers kalistina.deviantart.com/art/C… in order to promote her webcomic kalistina.deviantart.com/art/C…. And now I WANT to start some projects, so that I can say "This is what I'm doing right now", but I don't have any base idea yet. I feel like I'm not advancing at all, but I don't mean to remain stuck at this step forever.

Do you have any idea what could be used instead?
(those stickers were quite impractical btw, but well)
Do you have any idea what could be used instead?
Some people had buttons saying "Hi, my username is" just like our stickers did. It was said that these buttons were given at the first deviantMEET in Paris three years ago. I wish dA made more of those. I guess the reason why they went for stickers instead was that the stickers were cheaper to make than the buttons, but buttons are easier to put on and take off, and they are reusable, while the stickers aren't (also, I got one fingernail damaged while trying to remove the extra layer of paper, and I eventually had to ask a staff member to undo it for me, but I guess it was just my bad luck ^^"). Buttons can be kept as memories (apparently some people kept theirs for 3 years ! ^^).
Ah! That sounds cool I hope they would be bigger than the ones I saw some people wearing now. They were so hard to read from a bit of a normal distance
Come to think of it, this might be the reason why they replaced them with stickers this time. Bigger buttons would be a good idea indeed.
Yeah, the stickers were definitely easier to read - which was really helpful, I looked at a lot of usernames and recognised some people that way, that I didn't know would be attending
Ah oui le fameux fanservice sans culotte ! XD J'approuve pas !
