I have just completed a piece I would like to have critiqued. You are the fist to view it.
If anyone follows my blog
you will know I have been attempting a work in 'series'. This is the 2nd piece for my Exaggeration theme.
I am also enclosing the sketch I started with. Tried to upload, but took too long...
The huge Pharaoh is actually the Red Sea.... does this make sense? the 3 yellow looking globes on the lower left are silver and are reflecting the light.
I look forward to your comments.
I am wondering if I missed getting this out there?
I would appreciate hyour take on this...
Thank you.
Carole, I like the interesting balance you have achieved: The "Red Sea" in the middle, with interesting background techniques.
I am disturbed by the face itself. The eyes and lips feel rather naive and aren't adding a lot to the overall design. Perhaps it would have been better if you had not included the facial features.
Look at your own face in a mirror: You don't really see the entire circle of the iris, for instance.
Dig out some of the back issues of Quilting Arts and re-read the articles on design elements. And a really good book that I like is Katie Pasquini Masopust's "Design Explorations for the Creative Quilter". She gives some good and understandable hints on design and composition.
I think you are on the right track, and I think you should even consider doing a second one of these, experimenting with different approaches to representing the face. Perhaps it would be better if the features were more of a suggestion rather than so bold.
Faces are difficult at best to accomplish. They take hours and hours (years and years?) to accomplish. I'd suggest that you start a journal where you just have fun sketching different eyes and mouths to see what you like and why, and what you don't like and why.
I also like your addition of the pyramid shapes. The concept is good.
I think you are on your way, and this is a good start. Remember, as artists we are always on a journey. We never really arrive; there is always something new to learn, and always a skill that can benefit from study and practice.

Carole, I checked out your blog. I love that day lily. It is wonderful. I am going to try your idea of putting gel medium on the lutradur before painting it. That's a great idea.
I look forward to seeing more in your exaggeration series.
Thank you Peggy, I was giving up on this one....
I like your suggestions and will definitely take your advice. I have just posted it to my blog....
My desire was to have this Pharaoh of the Red Sea be the ominous character he was.. hence the unnerving facial features.
I agree, and will do more drawing.. and I can see myself doing more 'on' this one... using some of the ideas you presented.
Yes, this is a journey, and I am enjoying the learning process.
Thank you again....Peggy.
The gel medium on the lutradur before painting helps hold the paint.
Lesley Riley has it on her DVD and she puts it on afterward, from the back, and that is good too...
be sure to put a piece of fabric down tho', because it will 'reprint' onto the other fabric. Kind of a twofer.. haha
Peggy, this Day Lily I dd for the 2010 QA Calendar contest.
Hi, Peggy and Carole. I understand the reason for the facial features being like they are. Early Egyptian artists depicted the Pharoh and other royalty as though they were always looking right at you. The eye was always completed as if looking straight at you. It is naive, but that was the Egyptian style of the day. It rarely was distrubing as the bodies were all done in gold and did not appear as stark as they do in fabric; and there was always the texture of the metal work to offset the face. It's not a bad thing, it just doesn't work in this media. Perhaps your silhouette could define the Red Sea and you could use details like hieroglyphics to ddefine your theme........Jim D
Jim, I so much appreciate your observation on this.
You see where I hink there may be a problem, is that the large image is the focal point... it really is ONLY the Red Sea.
That Pharaoh was a mean-hearted man, and I wanted to depict his arrogance, his steely-stare
even against the waters that flooded over him. there was no humility in this man. I did not want him to look
regal,I wanted him to be 'obtuse'....
I guess I didn't really do it...but Itried...
Thank you for looking..
Carole, I think you did a fine job of accomplishing what you were attempting. To be sure, you might do something differently another time, and that is why a series is so helpful. I think you should do a take-off on your concept. I'd like to see other ways that you could depict the arrogance of this Pharoah, and I think your use of the Red Sea and transforming it was extremely clever.
I sure didn't know about the Pharoah's personality, so you see, your art is a success, because a viewer learned from it.
Thank you Peggy..... perhaps a little more verbage on my part might have helped...
I did order the book you suggested tho'... I am always willing to learn.

The Energy Loop
The Huntington and Eccles Canyon National Scenic Byway is called the Energy Loop because of the coal mines and power plant located along side the route. Electric Lake also is located along the loop which supplies water to the Huntington plant.
How do I get there?
The circular loop follows the Huntington/Eccles Canyon Scenic Byways and transports visitors through lush forests, historic towns and incredible scenery. From Price, travelers should take Highway SR-10 to Huntington and take a right at Huntington State Park on SR-31. Ten miles from Fairview is the turnoff to Eccles Canyon. This section travels the Wasatch Plateau towards Clear Creek, and then to Colton. At Colton take a right onto SR-6 and drive down the Price Canyon, through Helper and back into Price.
What can I see and do?
To experience several chapters in Castle Valley's coal production history, travelers should take the Energy Loop, a circular route that passes several active mines and two power plants.
One of the highlights on the loop is the coal facility near Scofield.
The operation's huge storage tanks and a conveyer belt allude to the scope of the mining industry in Castle Valley.
At Castle Gate, an informative marker explains the coal industry's history and pays tribute to the miners who died in three major underground disasters.
People traveling along the loop will have ample opportunities to view a wide variety of trees and wildflowers.
`Bird watchers will appreciate the opportunity to observe meadowlarks, eagles and hawks. Travelers touring the loop can also stop and picnic at maintained campgrounds or in a secluded groves of aspens and pines.
Spring presents bulging streams, budding trees, melting snow and the promise of renewal. Summer is filled with bright wildflowers, crystal waters and dense foliage. Autumn comes alive with the bright forest colors. The white of snow in the winter contrasts with the green pines.
What is the driving time?
The total mileage for the two canyons is about 85 miles and requires at least four hours' drive time.

Blush pink and gold is my new favourite colour palette, sure it's been popping up for a while now, but I just love it, if I had my time over and was getting married again (to my same wonderful husband, of course!) I would so choose blush pink and gold as my colour scheme......it's just sooooo pretty!
The christening was held at Le Montage at Lilyfield. As the guests enjoyed a 3 course luncheon we decided to keep the dessert table to treats that could be taken home and savoured later! The gorgeous birdcage cake created by the uber talented Lorinda Seto of Cakes by Lorinda was served as part of a 3 tier dessert platter and other treats on our table included personalised Lindt chocolate bars, vanilla sugar cookies, vanilla cupcakes, macarons and sweet little lolly bags.
Our client really wanted a bird cage cake and Di and I weren't sure how we would incorporate this into our overall design and look for the table. We turned to the fabulous Lorinda of Cakes by Lorinda to help us achieve a pretty birdcage cake with a modern edge that would fit in with our design and it looked fabulous. Lorinda's attention to detail is second to none, she is meticulous and has a wonderful eye for design and for interpreting a brief. We could not have been happier with the cake she created.
A big part of the table was the beautiful floral arrangements and yep, you guessed it, that meant a very early morning trip to the flower market. The flower market is always beautiful, no matter when you visit, but at this time of year a lot of the most beautiful blooms are either not available or prohibitively spensive! ie, peonies were $25 - $28 for 5 stems.....MARKET PRICE!.......yikes!
We did however bring together a beautiful selection of blush pink Roses, cream Roses, mini green Hydrangea (pricey at this time of year, but well worth it), Hypericum Berries (which just had the most beautiful pink blush to them), Carnations, Dusty Miller, Stock and Lysianthus.
Di and I also provided pretty floral table decorations with a giant round pink balloon and glittery gold ribbon.
Each arrangement sat atop a custom linen covered riser box with pretty blush pink lace detailing.
I would have removed those pesky table numbers, but I was so rushed to get some photos when it was all finished that I just didn't have time, so please excuse the lack of "styling" for the pics.
We did cute and sparkly little lolly bags for the table which contained milk buds, pink sour ears, mini marshmallows, gold sixlets, mini pink jelly beans, pink bon bons, mini white jelly beans and tiny little round pink lollipops.....sweet treats to enjoy later.
Adam at Baked Patisserie makes the most divine macarons and we once again turned to him to provide us with his delectable treats for our table. Vanilla macarons which we dusted with edible gold shimmer.
Our vanilla cupcakes continue to be a hit with our tables.......we only use whole ingredients and they are just so yummy......one guest commented that "they just taste real" what better compliment could you ask for.
Di's signature vanilla sugar cookies were once again admired and devoured.
Personalised Lindt chocolate bars with printables supplied by The Little Soiree
When Di and I were putting all the floral arrangements together I said to her "this is just like doing a wedding" as we had 12 table arrangements to do and four hand tied bouquets for the dessert table. On looking at the dessert table I thought, what a great idea for a wedding table, the four floral arrangements could be used to display the bridal bouquets (lets face it they usually end up just lying down on the bridal table getting squashed!) then you've got your wedding cake and all you need to do is add a few extra treats and you've got a fabulous dessert table showcasing your wedding cake and flowers.
The gold "vases" that we used for the flowers were just large glass jars spray painted gold on the inside.

Nouvelles UBS
European investor optimism continues to decline in October, according to UBS Index
Individual investor confidence in October declined for the fifth consecutive month across Europe in the wake of fears of a war against Iraq, heightened threat of major terrorist attacks, and a deteriorating economic outlook.
The overall Index of Investor Optimism - EU 5 fell by 9 points to a level of -33 points in October, down from -24 in September, the lowest measure since the Index - EU 5 baseline survey was conducted in October 2001.
Investors' diminishing confidence for achieving their investment targets over the coming twelve months contributed most to the Index's decline. Over half of investors (52 percent) with an opinion believe that stock markets have yet to hit rock bottom, a slight increase from 47 percent in September.

Attention, dear readers! This season, drab is directional thanks decidedly chic combat-ready collections from Balmain's Christophe Decarnin and Marc Jacobs. When these two industry heavy-hitters both showed military-inspired looks on their S/S 10 runways, we knew it was only a matter of time before the army coat blitz began. Like clockwork, our favorite clothing-minded celebs have fallen in line and we've fallen in love with their styling selections! And while we've spotlighted our favorites flak jackets that will help you get the look, we also wanted to show you how some of our favorite well-dressed all-stars are incorporating this spring's key outerwear option in today's Trend Report feature!
Although Decarnin showed strong-shouldered camo coats paired with tough-chic leather pants at Balmain, and Marc Jacobs layered his army jacket with romantically ruffled dresses for his eponymous label, our famous foursome opted for more low-key looks. Each one of our fashion-forward femmes employed a smart dressing strategy by combining their field jackets with black or neutral bottomsÂ--so remember to break out your rations of second-skin liquid leggings (a la Whitney Port and Kate Moss) or dark hued harem pants (see Rachel Bilson and Gwen Stefani) this spring! And when it gets warmer, this piece will be the perfect transitional garment to layer over your must-have printed dresses and adorable skirts this summer!
Now onto today's subjects! Seen marching around the West Village in New York, The City's Whitney Port dressed down in Alice + Olivia's Leather Combo Leggings ($330) and rag & bone's M-15 Field Coat ($595, 212.753.7300) in Army Green; check out her exact piece or try the brand's Ohara Cargo Jacket ($520). Rachel Bilson, spotted in Beverly Hills, also styled her GapKid's Boys Military Jacket ($33) with a bundled up scarf, while Kate Moss opted for PRPS' Military Jacket with Fur Trim Collar ($860, 310.276.4400) to take a walk in North London early last month. Gwen Stefani rocked this styleÂ--specifically a G-Star Raw jacket from the F/W 09 seasonÂ--to the park with her family, proving that the multi-tasking mom is prepared for rain (waterproof boots) and shine (sunglasses)!
Now that you have been briefed on the who and the what, let's get into the wear! If it's a roomier relaxed fit you seek, be sure to check out Smythe's Summer Surplus Jacket ($650), Free People's Benji Desert Cargo Jacket ($138), or Ecote's Surplus Jacket ($78) for a few slouchy selections. If a slimmer style is more your speed, let us direct you to Theory's Twill Jacket ($315), Levi's Army Camo Jacket ($223), or Topshop's Army Jacket ($100). Finally, if you're on a mission for a cropped coatÂ--which would look swell with a flirty floral frock or skinny pants this springÂ--we can recommend Of Two Minds' Reconstructed Army Jacket ($322) or Ecote's Cropped Surplus Jacket ($68).

Syphilis Overview
Syphilis (pronounced SIF-uh-lus) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria. The highly infectious disease may also be passed, but much less often, through blood transfusions or from mother to fetus in the womb. Without treatment, syphilis can cause irreversible damage to the brain, nerves, and body tissues.
The symptoms of syphilis can mimic many diseases. Sir William Osler stated, "The physician who knows syphilis knows medicine."

Sign slung over I-5 in metro area illegal
EUGENE, Ore. - A sign temporarily displayed from a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 5 asserts: "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."
Who put it there? What does it mean? And: Is it racist?
The Community Alliance of Lane County said they consider the sign hate speech.
The head of the local NAACP learned of the sign via social media.
"One of my kids actually showed me a Facebook posting of it yesterday, and that's how I found out," said Eric Richardson, president of the local NAACP. "I think being anti-racial is being pro human."
A state police trooper stationed in Springfield confirmed seeing the banner displayed over I-5, which runs between "Simpsons" inspiration Springfield and Eugene, the Beaver State's second largest city and the oft tie-dyed home of the top-ranked Oregon Ducks football team.
A photo posted on social media and a photojournalist's account of seeing the temporary sign suggest it may have been displayed as many as 3 times for an undetermined ammount of time.
Cities and states often have rules and regulations for the use of public space to post signs of any kind in Oregon when visible from city or county roads or state highways.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said such a sign would wouldn't allow the sign - not because of what it says but because of the safety hazard the sign could pose on such a busy stretch of interstate.
"From our standpoint, safety trumps free speech when it comes to the safety of interstate travelers," said Rick Little, spokesperson for ODOT. "Occasionally during the political season when political parties and their participants are very active, sometimes well see people who want to present their political signs we don't allow that either."

|Sheriff says don't swim at Elk River Falls
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 27 June 2007 18:41
The drowning of a 16-year-old boy in the basin below Elk River Falls has given Avery County Sheriff Kevin Frye a mission: to enact a swimming ban on that area of the river.
It's just not a safe place to swim, he says.
Personally, Frye says he knows of eight people who have lost their lives, either swimming or jumping off the falls.
People do not realize the abrupt temperature changes, depths and undercurrents the falls have to offer.
The area is not under county jurisdiction, however. In fact, Elk River Falls is part of Pisgah National Forest, and District Ranger Anthony Matthew, who helped search for the drowning victim earlier this week, says there is a process.
Nothing is in the works to ban swimming at Elk River Falls, at least not right now, according to Matthews.
Frye and others are speaking to rangers about the process of making the area off limits to swimmers.
The goal, Frye said, is to make sure Sunday's tragedy never happens again. If signs were to be put up, it would be in forest rangers' jurisdiction to issue penalties for violators.

HAMMOND The Board of Education will review its nonresident student policy next week after three students who moved to neighboring Morristown were asked to leave the school last month, interim Superintendent Randy C. Richards said.
Viola J. Helm, Brier Hill, said her three daughters, Razia D. Phillips, 16, Jasmine A. Warwick, 13, and Macy A. Helm, 10, were asked without warning to leave the school after a meeting Oct. 29 with Mr. Richards.
Mr. Richards said Thursday that he could not comment as the matter involves individual students, but he said the school board will review its nonresident policy next when it meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The schools policy states that a nonresident should be allowed to attend Hammond tuition free if the student meets the following conditions:
n A meeting is held between the parents and the Board of Education to discuss attendance.
n There is sufficient space to accommodate the nonresident student.
n No increase in size of faculty or staff will be necessary.
n Admittance will not result in the establishment of a new section.
n Parents/guardians must work out transfer conditions with the home school district or provide their own transportation. No transportation route will be changed to accommodate this policy.
n All rules and regulations in effect for district students will be applicable to non-district students. Final decisions regarding the acceptance of nonresidents rest with the Board of Education.
Mrs. Helm said she moved out of the district in 2011 after a fire destroyed her familys home.
She said that while no formal meeting was held with the school board, former Superintendent Douglas H. McQueer said the girls were welcome to keep attending classes until they graduated.
Mrs. Helm said that during the first year, the district paid to transport the girls.
But since 2012, they have been dropped off at her parents home in Hammond to be picked up by the school bus.
In a meeting with Mr. Richards, Mrs. Helm said, she became emotional and yelled at the superintendent. As a result, Mr. Richards told her she could not return to school property, she said.
I swore at him, Mrs. Helm said. I was at the door and my kids came out, crying, and I became upset for them after they had to say goodbye to their friends and their teachers. It was a nightmare.
Mr. Richards said he could not comment except to say the school has a strict code of conduct regarding visitors.
As of Monday, the three girls began attending school in Morristown.
The only thing my girls want to do is go to Hammond, where they have spent the last five years, Mrs. Helm said. All of this seems so unfair, and my children have been in tears because of all of this. My kids are not the only kids living out of district. They feel so singled out.

Hi, my name is Siloh, and I joined this forum for extra support in my journey with a new dog, a pitbull mastiff mix. Frankly, my greatest interest outside writing and (manically, compulsively) reading is spending time with my dogs, particularly my little soulmate beagle who is very athletic.
Hamlet is five months old, and he has been with me, my SO, and our three other dogs (dachshund 16.5 yrs, beagle/basset 6 yrs., chihuahua 1.5 yrs), as well as our cat, for about five weeks.
Hamlet was the result of a break-up which forced his owner to move into an apartment with a 30lbs weight limit on dogs. When attempting to rehome him, he could not find a suitable home and was instead faced with extravagant bids from people wanting to fight the dog. He approached my fiancé about taking him in, and after preparing to say no while I ran the math on financing such a dog's health, food, and training... It turned out we could do it comfortably.
However, I knew from the start what I was up against in terms of committing to ensure this dog could be a proper ambassador for his "type."
As far as I can tell, he is an APBT x corso mix. This is my best guess while we wait for breeder information and vet records (it has been complicated by the break-up and other situational factors for the prior owner).
I hope to learn and grow with you all. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to brag about how well Hamlet is taking to the rigorous standards I have been setting for him!
"Nothing is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."

Quote: The Pro's And Con's Of A Central Park Winter Classic
Larry Brooks of The New York Post wrote about Central Park being a possible site for a Winter Classic in NYC. It's been discussed, and would really be something else. The costs would be enormous, the profits less than the NHL is used to receiving from this event, but the exposure would be incredible. I'd love to see it.
Brooks wrote about Central Park here.
…I think the trade off of profits for massive exposure would be a good deal for the NHL to take. Every single media outlet would cover a central park winter classic and it would be promoted like crazy.
They may just wait for the Rangers to host one until they can get Yankee Stadium but the Rangers will be the away team in a winter classic before then, most likely in Philadelphia.

The unlocked LG C900 Quantam has received a fair amount of attention from the mobile community for being one of the first top of the line phones to use the Windows Phone OS 7 technology that many think will put Microsoft in the thick of the mobile industry in the coming years. The phone is one of the most solid devices for this operating system, and there are numerous reasons why it has continued to garner attention.
The ability to record HD 720p quality fit is a crowd-drawer. The Quantam allows you to easily share these videos with your friends or through your social networking accounts. Although the phone is only equipped with a 5 mega-pixel camera, it does have zoom and auto-focus support that allow you to take high quality pictures.
Its 1 GHz processor is more than enough to deal with all of the web browsing, app downloading and OS surfing that you will do, and the phone rarely shows any signs of lag. For those of us with XBox Live, the integration features that allow you to check your scores and gamer points are interesting, and fun to play around with.
The Microsoft Office suite also comes included with the phone. Among the programs that are int he package are Word, Excel, PowerPoint and a calender application. This will help you to stay organized and will also allow you to work on last minute presentations when you are in a rush. It is a surprise that they have not marketed the LG C900 Quantam of more of a business phone.
Overall, the LG C900 Quantam unlocked is solid, and is among the most highly regarded Windows Phone 7 Phones to don the highly anticipated operating system. It should be a solid competitor for other similarly priced phones, and is comfortable to hold and easily fits in most pockets.

Parents of Bethany Deaton plea for prayers as their daughter's death is investigated
GRANDVIEW, Mo. - Carol and Eric Leidlein were expecting our call. In fact, they had expected Kansas City media outlets to call sooner because of the details surrounding their daughter's death.
Last week, the investigation into what seemed to be a suicide quickly turned criminal in Grandview. All along, the Leidleins held onto the memories of their daughter's exuberance for life and her faith in God.
Bethany Deaton, the Leidlein's daughter, was found dead in the rear seat of a van on Oct. 30. Her body was accompanied by a note that read, "My name is Bethany Deaton. I chose this evil thing. I did it because I wouldn't be a real person and what is the point of living if it is too late for that? I wish I had chosen differently a long time ago. I knew it all and refused to listen. Maybe Jesus will save me."
The note, along with several bottles of pills, made detectives point to suicide. But on Friday, one of Deaton's roommates confessed that he killed her. Micah Moore was charged Saturday with first-degree murder.
RELATED | Man charged with murder made to look like suicide http://tinyurl.com/cddshus
Carol Leidlein said her grief surpasses all words. She had her husband shared a prepared statement:
"We are deeply grieving the loss of our beautiful and innocent daughter. We are shocked and horrified by the information now coming forth. The betrayal, the subtle and increasing manipulation, and the brutal victimization which occurred is beyond tragic. We pray for the truth to be revealed. While it is important to understand how Bethany died, it is even more important to understand how she lived. Because of the ongoing investigation, we do not have any further comment at this time."
"We'd appreciate prayers as well," the Leidleins added.
When asked about their daughter's life, the Leidleins pointed to the Wade Family Funeral Home webpage in Arlington, Texas.
The obituary describes Bethany Deaton as a good student, who graduated top of her class from Southwestern University and earned a Bachelors of Science degree in nursing after she arrived in Kansas City. She married Tyler Deaton in mid-August of 2012. The two were both involved in the International House of Prayer (IHOP) and were studying to become international missionaries.
41 Action News was unable to reach Tyler Deaton on Monday after contacting him through his social media websites. He has a series of blogs posts that focus on religious teachings.
The confessed killer in this case told detectives he killed Bethany Deaton because he feared she would tell police about recent sexual assaults.
According to court documents, Moore said he was in a "community" where a handful of male roommates would sexually assault Bethany Deaton. This group was described as "religious" in nature. The documents go on to say that Moore claims Tyler Deaton was the religious leader of their "community." Everyone else followed his lead.
READ | Probable cause statement: http://tinyurl.com/ajuq9uh
It's unclear if Tyler Deaton was being questioned by police Monday, but all of the roommates have been questioned since Moore's confession Friday.
According to a school spokesperson, Moore was a student at IHOPU but not a member of the church.
Allen Hood, president of IHOPU, released the following statement Monday night:
The International House of Prayer University (IHOPU) faculty was saddened by the tragic death of Bethany Leidlein Deaton on October 30. Bethany had attended a 6-month internship at IHOPU in 2009 and went on to become a registered nurse working in a local hospital.
On November 10, we were shocked when the Jackson County Sheriff's Office notified us that an IHOPU student by the name of Micah Moore, a man who knew Bethany since their college days in Texas, had been charged with her murder.
Since Bethany's death it has come to light that over 5 years ago, both she and Mr. Moore joined an independent, close-knit, religious group in Georgetown, Texas. This religious group of fewer than 20 people was led by Tyler Deaton. They relocated to Kansas City over the last few years and operated under a veil of secrecy.
This group has always operated independently of the university and it is important to all of us that this group's secrecy and disturbing religious practices are fully exposed.
Mr. Deaton led his religious group entirely independently from IHOPU, though he and some of his members were enrolled in our university.
We have been working closely with the local authorities in their ongoing investigation into Bethany's death. We continue to fully assist all law enforcement agencies in their efforts to uncover the extent and specifics of this horrific crime.
We are currently taking all necessary
steps to minister to our students and ensure their safety and wellbeing. As an educational institution built around the priority of prayer, we ask everyone to please join us in praying for Bethany's family and friends and everyone affected by her tragic and untimely death.
Due to the ongoing police investigation we have no further comment at this time.

Which new features do you want the most?
When looking up a tea and reading the reviews, it would be nice if you could sort the reviews, similar to how you can sort your cupboard. Right now it seems that the reviews are posted in order of popularity. But it would be nice to have the option to sort them by oldest to newest, my review, most popular, etc.
I know it's been said before,..but I would LOVE to have a Steepster iPhone or android app?! It would be so nice to review and "check-in" to the teas your are drinking on the go!!!
You need a much easier way to report spam. Like a button that you click on. Boom it's done. There is a spam post in a Win a Year of Tea From 52 teas thread, and I'm not going to jump through a bunch of question and answer deals and have to write a title topic and paragraph about the problem.
The Report anything inappropriate blurby thing is difficult to manage.
I would love a steepster app.
I know this one has been mentioned before because it's right above my reply: an app.
I have no idea if this one has been suggested before (sorry, not going through 45 pages of replies), so here it is: the ability to upload photos to our ratings. Like a cup of it steeping, a pic of someone dumping it down the drain, what it looks like cold-steeped, etc.
At the very least, could you guys make the website more smartphone friendly? Navigating the site on a portable device is a bit cumbersome.
Would love to be able to search my cupboard. I have multiple pages of tea and it's time consuming to comb through it sometimes, or frustrating to search the entire steepster database.
Secure logins would be nice.
Well done on the top notch web design though.
Just a minor thing but I think it would be convenient/handy to have a button next to each tea on the shopping list to add directly to our cupboard. The way it is now, if I buy a tea listed on my shopping list, I have to remove it. Then, I have to go to the tea page and add it to my cupboard. It's not a big deal, but it might be nice if it's not too hard to do.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
After taking bronze in the 15 kilometers as a replacement, Tord Asle Gjerdalen was also able to compete for the Norwegian team. With the Atomic pilot starting, they took World Championships gold in Val di Fiemme. Another Atomic athlete was also in the spotlight at the highlight of the long distance season: After a first victory in 2008, Jørgen Aukland won the renowned Vasaloppet again. His brother Anders was third; the two are joint leaders in the Ski Classics overall standings.
Jørgen Aukland is the first athlete to complete the legendary 90 kilometers between Sälen and Mora using the double-pole technique throughout. Using Atomic Worldcup Classic FL SDS skis, Worldcup Classic boots and SNS Propulse RC bindings, the 37 year-old finished 2 seconds ahead of Sweden's Daniel Tynell and 3 seconds ahead of his brother and Atomic teammate Anders Aukland, who is three years older. "I'm so happy that I've won. I knew that I had to open up a little gap for the last hundred meters because I'm not the best sprinter," said Jørgen Aukland. After 4 of 6 races the brothers lead the Ski Classics overall standings with 560 points each. On 16 March the series continues with the Birkebeinerrenett in Norway, which last year was won by Anders Aukland.
Tord Asle Gjerdalen repeated the trick he performed at the World Championships in his home town of Oslo in 2011 (gold in the team event and bronze in the 50 km) by taking gold in the team event and bronze in the individual 15 km in Val di Fiemme, Italy in 2013. Wearing his Atomic Worldcup Skate Featherlight skis, Gjerdalen got things going as the starting man for the Norwegian team in 8 degrees above zero and set the pace for a long time before handing over in second place with a deficit of just 2.4 seconds. At the finish he was again able to celebrate gold. On Sunday Gjerdalen also took a solid sixth place in the 50 km classic.
Vasaloppet (Sweden), 90 kilometers:
1. Jørgen Aukland (Nor) 3:50:48 ATOMIC
2. Daniel Tynell (Swe) 3:50:50
3. Anders Aukland (Nor) 3:50:51 ATOMIC


text: Linda Silvis and Phil Agee stand beside the signs that will be mounted later this year near mile marker 58 on Highway 10 south of Price. That is the place where Ms. Silvis' late husband, Glenn, was killed in a car-motorcycle collision last year. The signage is being sponsored by the Silvis family and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Agee, who spearheaded the permitting and fundraising, said he wanted to establish a fitting memorial to Glenn Silvis, who had been decorated with a Purple Heart for wounds sustained in the Vietnam War. Silvis was also active in the local VFW post for years. Agee also said there are plans to put a "living memorial" off to the side of the highway - a small park with a garden of native flowering plants.

LIVERMORE FALLS, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A soldier from Maine who was severely injured in an attack in Afghanistan will be spending Thanksgiving with her family.
Army Sgt. Helaina Lake received significant injuries to the right side of her body in a suicide bombing in June.
Since then she's been receiving treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Sgt. Lake has had 18 surgeries so far and she's not yet out of the woods. She still has no movement in her right arm and she uses a walker and a wheel chair to get around.
Her 2 year old son, Aden, and her mother, Jeannine, have been in Washington with her keeping her company for the past couple of months.
On Tuesday, the family will come home to Maine. Sgt. Lake will see her father, Bernal Lake, for the first time since she was deployed in 2011.
After arriving at the Portland Jetport at 11:40 AM, the family will pile into a stretch Humvee and drive home.
The plan is for firefighter and police officers to escort her the whole way.
Sgt. Lake's family and friends are hoping to get as many people as possible to line the road from the Jetport to the Turnpike... and then from to line Route 4 from Auburn to the Knights of Columbus Hall in Jay.
"I hope she sees that all of these people are there for her," says Bernal, "She doesn't think she's a hero. So I hope she can see these people standing around for us and see what a special girl she is."
