Well, here we all are! Ree can't post for a few days, the eye of Gustov went right over her and her internet is out for a few more days. She agreed to be on via her iPhone!

Hi Team...as Mom (

karenk) said, it has been raining non stop here with Gustav passing over, but we are lucky, still have power and internet...though I don't have phone service. Hoping all is well with Ree.
This will be the first team I have been on...

Hi everyone. Thanks for the invite. I am a real newbie at DPC submissions. Though a member for awhile I have not submitted. I look forward to something new and fun.

Gustav did a bit of damage here. Cable company announced today they will not start restoring service till the 8th. After emergency and essential agencies have been restored. So I may be Internet challenged for awhile. Or deactivate my aircard.

We are still without power , cable, it phones.

kvickrey will be available as an alternate.

Glad you're all here! Welcome!

I skimmed through the thread and we will need a banner. I'd be happy to get our banner going...I think

Yanko has the template for that so I will email him unless someone else wants to?

WooHoo!

Mae, I looked and those don't exists anymore, However, Judi, of the Aussie Team was offering up her PS templates last night on the sign up roster thread. I;m under deadline on a newsletter so I looked but I didn't go to the link to get them. Hopefully I can finish the newsletter today!

I emailed

Yanko and will let you know when I hear from him regarding the template banner.

Here are the rules from the Olympics II (please sort by 1st post):

I don't know what else they will change for this go around...but at least we know what to expect in general.

Happy Trails!

Ugh, that completely sucks that it is open challenges only. Maybe he will change it to include top 5 scores across all three challenges. I am down on basic editing lately.
