Hot and rainy where I am. Would love to send some of our rain out to CA.... Getting tough to find a dry day to mow grass...

Congrats to Nai and Seerose, and a good entry from Max! It's nice to see the variation that can come from the same tutorial. Glad to be back in action

All PDN

I see you've gotten everything set up quite nicely Congrats on your promotion!

I appreciate the thanks and good wishes I would certainly be glad to help you out, Pixey. Just send me a PM with any questions you have

After some thought, I have decided that my hosting abilitites have hampered by how busy I have been lately. School has picked up pace, and it will only continue after the holiday... Therefore, I think that the best thing to do to keep this competition alive would be to pass on the torch to someone else. I've really enjoyed hosting, and I hate to go, but it's not fair to you all or to the competition to continue hosting when I can't devote the necessary time to it. So, for anyone who would like to get involved, I wish you the best of luck P.S.: By no means is this a goodbye. I still plan to pop in and enter a comp or two when I can. You all are just too nice for me to just up and leave

Great results from a simple process. Good tutorial

Wait... You get a morning tea time too? Why can't I live in Australia... And, I hope your mum gets to feeling better

That's always a bad time. The carburetor went out on ours this summer. One attempted repair later, it's still dead...

The Selective Services System here in the US is somewhat similar, though most who register don't actually go into military service. Every male has to register between the ages of 18 and 25 or face prison or a fine. Even conscientious objectors have to register (they submit an exemption claim if they are drafted). Females, of course, do not. It's been that way since the '70s. And we don't have alternative service either: it's either register, or face the penalty. It's the same way here. Other Christian denominations have to register, though. It just isn't right.

Hope the remaining days of your sentence go by quickly, Kemaru. That's a lot of red tape just for sticking up for your beliefs. Did they not give you any options for alternative service?

Happy B-day, Pyro! I'm a bit late to the party, but I hope you had a wonderful day

Congrats, Nai, Helen, and Pixey! Really enjoyed the entries this week. Good hosting, Chimay
