This is the official thread for Challenge 96.
Thank you to Fremiet for a truly fun challenge. I loved seeing
what everyone came up with. You guys do amazing work!

As a perpetual ‘also ran’ participant, I did not have any good
ideas of my own prepared, so I went to a thread Nancy (odigi)
started a while back on potential challenge topics. It can be
found here (let’s keep it going…):

Thank you Nancy!
There were several ideas I liked, but the one I decided to go with is…
===================================================
Challenge 96: “Found in a Kitchen Drawer”
===================================================
This can include typical kitchen utensils or tools, or (if you’re
like me), other odds and ends that you might keep in a junk drawer
in your kitchen. Heck, I’ll even throw in kitchen cabinets. Look
around, see what you might have hidden away, put things together in
an expected way; get creative; but most of all, have fun.
I realize a lot of people are busy this time of year, with holidays
and whatnot. I’m hoping that this will be a fairly easy challenge
for everyone to enter if they choose. It’s wide open, so get thee
to your kitchen…
Challenge 96 is open from now (about 11:30 pm Eastern Daylight
Time) on June 30 2005, and will run until 10:00 pm on Tuesday July
12 2005 Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

I'm very sorry to hear about your internet troubles, I hope they get things cleared up soon. And I hope you can participate, I'd love to see what you come up with.
If you were asking if I'm a girl, then yes, but I'm afraid I spend virtually no time at all in a kitchen. I chose this topic because I had no ideas of my own ready to hand, and I thought it might be interesting to see what people could come up with when they focus )) on mundane subjects.

Ooooh, sounds great Rajesh, I can't wait to see what you come up with! I really like the spicy entry you put in exhibition. Yep, your kitchen is definitely more interesting and tastier than mine.

Hello Awais,
Sorry to hear about your troubles, although it's good to know that your government is working to provide alternatives.
The sizes you've uploaded are fine, and with these subjects the sharply detailed parts cover a relatively small area, which helps a lot to minimize JPEG file size.
The only thing I would add is that, with future entries, it is a good idea to keep the image pixel dimensions ( including any frame or border that you have added) to a maximum of 800 pixels on the longer side (i.e. anything up to 800 x 800 pixels). This will prevent PBase from generating the "large" viewing size, and will give people viewing your entries the best possible detail as well as containing file sizes even further. The "large" view (when it exists), like the "medium" and "small" ones, is always degraded relative to the "original" that you upload.
By the way, I've removed the duplicated upload of "Pure Fork", which I assume is what you wanted us to do.
I hope your normal service is restored soon. I've been having my own problems, over the last few days, with a telephone cable fault caused by possums in the walls of my house, so I can appreciate your difficulties! ;-)
Regards,
Mike
