We are only a few days away from the 4th Redvers & District Oil Showcase and Dinner on May 10-11th, 2012. The Showcase organizing committeehave been hard at work to ensure that industry representatives in the area are aware of this event and its potential to improve their business. The Showcase organizing committee is made up of representatives from the Energy Sector within the district � all with different backgrounds and in various different positions, which helps to ensure diversity within the show.
The response for this year�s show has been such that we�ve never seen for any of the previous shows � mainly due to the increased activity the area has seen in the Bakken play over the last few years. The best place to be is in the middle of the Bakken! Redvers is located right in the middle of this activity and we are hoping this show will create a new awareness about the oil industry in SE Sk and SW Mb and all of the businesses touched by this booming industry. We are also extremely pleased with the amount of exposure that Redvers and the surrounding District have gained by hosting this event. We are hoping that the event will create new economic opportunities and awareness of the area.
Organization of this event has been a great experience, we have received nothing but positive response from the industry players, and the support from the community has been overwhelming.
Set-up for outdoor booths will begin Wed afternoon, and inside booths on Thursday morning at 8a.m. then the doors open to the public for the trade show at noon. The Arts Centre volunteers will be serving lunch from 11:30a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (and coffee from 9am-3pm). We will be having Enform present a learning session after lunch on Thursday as well, where they will be discussing current occupational health and safety matters within the Saskatchewan petroleum sector. The tradeshow will be closed at 4p.m. and the roast beef & pork supper will be served at 6:00 p.m. Our guest speaker after the sold out dinner is Patrick Ward, President & CEO of Painted Pony Petroleum Ltd. And to wrap up the evening of the first day we will have comedians from �Puck �n Funny� entertain us. The second day will start out with an exhibitor breakfast at 7:30a.m. and the show will again be open to the public at 10a.m. and go until 4p.m. Lunch will again be served by a volunteer committee, this time from the Redvers Daycare and after lunch Enbridge will be presenting on their SE Sask operations.

FOUR MILLION Points. Congratulations on your incredible persistence!
Congratulations on posting for 3300 consecutive days. Fantastic and only 7,520 pts from 4 MM please be my buddy. Thanks. Shep
I just posted in Bruce's national "state rank" thread. I saw that Cincy's #1 posted recently. Maybe Columbus' #1 would roll in? Here''s the address: http://www.columbusgasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=&category=1235&topic=499046&page_no=1&FAV=Y
Congratulations on having the stamina to post for 3,200 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies?? Warren {:-)
I've been running the Situation Riddles game off and on for some years; lately we seem to have only two or three "regulars" left -- so I'm sending out a reminder to people who've participated before (i.e., you) to remind them that it's out there. The easiest way to keep track is to keep the "Index to situation riddle games" in your Favorite Topics List, and check that list periodically to see if this topic has a recent timestamp. Alternately, you can go to the Games & Trivia category and just search for "situation riddle". As you might infer from the existence of this announcement, I've just posted a new one. The URL /forum_msg.aspx?category=1332&topic=111839 can be used for getting directly to the "Index to situation riddle games" topic.
srgamlin, Congratulations on reaching the 3,100 day mark, Outstanding dedication! Great job for all the hard work getting there.
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 3,100 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Warren :-)

Hi srgamlin, I'm trying to contact all GasBuddy "old timers" like you. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, we are tied with a total of 182,100 points each for the second half of 2012. A perfect record of daily posting, I think. That is a great avatar picture you have posted. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)

Hook: Kamasan B840 or Partridge JS11 Thread: 8/0 UniThread, white Cone: Silver conehead in the appropriate size Tails: Partridge flank feather barbs Body: Austrailian Opossom, natural Body hackles: Partridge flank feather Front hackle: Capercaillie body feather One of my "goto" patterns for seatrout on the coasts and bays of Djursland, Denmark. Very easy fly to tie, that fishes well all year around. If you tie the fly to the tippet with a small rapala loop, the fly has an awesome motion in the water. Looks almost like a small sculpin. You can tie them in any size you'd like, but I prefer them large - large as in size 2 or larger. The best hooks for this kind of fly, in my opinion, are the hooks with a large hook gape. I find the TMC 811S and Mustad 34007 to have too small of a hook gape for this kind of pattern. I only used the capercaillie to make a fly that sticks out, and to the best of my knowledge, I don't think there's a saltwater pattern for seatrout that uses these feathers. You can use whatever front hackle you'd like or have available.

Christie to Host SIGGRAPH Panel
Cypress, CA – As the Platinum Sponsor of SIGGRAPH 2012, Christie is proud to host the SIGGRAPH HFR Panel, "High Frame Rate Cinema, Impacts on Art and Technology," to be held Wednesday, August, 8 at 10:45 a.m., at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Hall K. The panel will feature 10 cinema industry leaders, led by Gordon E. Sawyer Academy Award winner Douglas Trumbull and Dennis Muren, Senior Visual Effects Supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic. It will be moderated by Paul Salvini, chief technology officer (CTO) of Christie. SIGGRAPH 2012 will be staged August 5 – 9.
Filmmaker and Visual Effects legend Douglas Trumbull's photographic effects credits include groundbreaking films such as "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Blade Runner," and "The Tree of Life." Douglas Trumbull pioneered work on High Frame Rate cinematography and projection with his Showscan process of 70mm film photographed and projected at 60 fps, and is now exploring 3D at 120 fps. Dennis Muren is the recipient of eight Academy Awards for Best Achievement in Visual Effects, with credits that include "Star Wars" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
"The SIGGRAPH HFR panel will explore the technology behind high-frame-rate cinema, and look at what it will mean to producers of content and to the audience experience," noted Paul Salvini. "The panelists are pioneers in their fields, addressing the challenges of HFR across the entire workflow, to provide the post-production and visual effects communities with important guidance regarding the challenges and rewards of developing HFR content for the exhibition community."
Additional panelists include:
- Jim Beshears, Head of Post-production at DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., oversees all aspects of the studio's self-contained editorial and post-production facilities. Jim has been instrumental in creating a solid support system capable of simultaneously managing multiple feature-length animated projects and multiple short projects.
Matthew Cowan, co-founder of Entertainment Technology Consultants and currently Chief Scientific Officer at RealD, of California, developed RealD's successful 3D cinema system and is respected in the post-production community for his knowledge and application of human perception to 3D systems, color, and transfer functions in digital cinema. - Darin Grant, Chief Technology Officer, Digital Domain Media Group, is responsible for the overall technology strategy for the company and its many subsidiaries. He is the former head of production technology at DreamWorks Animation.
- John Helliker is Founder/Director of Sheridan College's SIRT Centre, a research and training facility focused on digital workflow innovations including HFR and virtual production. Based at Pinewood Toronto Studios, SIRT's leading edge work is based on a unique set of partnerships with major industry guilds and associations, individual companies, as well as government and academia.
- Luke Moore, Director of Special Projects at Canada's Side Effects Software, in Toronto, is responsible for identifying and addressing the unique technical challenges faced by studios using the popular Houdini VFX and Animation software. Luke brings first-hand knowledge and anecdotes regarding challenges of managing large datasets necessary to enable higher temporal and physical resolution to meet the needs of new challenges in modern production environments.

- Dr. Lincoln Wallen, Head of Research and Development at Dreamworks Animation, in California, and formerly CTO at Electronic Arts Mobile, where he was instrumental in shaping EA's approach to the mobile business, creating a strong portfolio of mass market mobile games, as well as games delivering a next-generation consumer experience.

"Customizing" Skype with a hex editor — there's an easier way
Some people have made a demo of how to customize Skype with a hex editor. The only thing they are doing there is editing some language strings (texts that appear in the Skype user interface).
Guys, you definitely don't need a hex editor for that. You can do it right in Skype. Take a look at the pirate language file that was produced to celebrate the International Talk Like A Pirate Day. In Skype, just go to Tools, Change Language, and find all the tools to edit or load language texts.
We've been thinking of making a Borat language file in connection with the movie release. (Did you know there are some genuine Estonian commercials in there?) Anyone done it yet? Let me know and I'll be happy to feature it here

instrucables.editor said 7 years ago
Hey, I'm the writer of that instructable. After another user posted a comment telling about this blog entry, I decided to edit the instructable to include a link here and a brief description of how to do it this way.
I never saw or thought of editing a language file…
I thought I would ask another quick question before I make an instructable on it though… Is there a way to change pictures on the Skype interface? If there isn't any official way, the instructable will more than likely try to use a program called "Resource Hacker".
If you don't mind, could you either reply on here (I will try to check back) or send me a message via Skype?

terminuz said 7 years ago
at this time, there is no way to change the pictures in the interface, except your own picture and the client wallpaper, which you can both do using the Personalise option.

Jeremy Ryan is the News Resources Manager for CNY Central.
CLAY, ONONDAGA COUNTY -- The Onondaga County Sheriff's Department tells Action News that it is investigating a car crash that has claimed the life of a Town of Clay resident.
Sheriff Kevin Walsh says deputies responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash around 9:18 Wednesday morning on County Route 57, just north of Wetzel Road. Witnesses tell police that a 2005 Ford Freestyle, driven by 41-year-old Lisa Turo of Ebury Court in Clay, was heading south and crossed the center line into the path of a 2009 Mercury Mountaineer. The Mountaineer, driven by 39-year-old Dieanna Mercurio of Baldwinsville, was unable to stop in time and struck the passenger side of the Freestyle, causing it to spin around and come to rest in a culvert on the side of the road.
Police say that Turo was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in her vehicle, her son Justin Geary, was sitting in the front seat. He was taken to University Hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries. Mercurio was taken to St. Joseph's hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Deputies say that members of the Sheriff's Department's Accidents Investigation team are working to determine why the Freestyle crossed into the path of the Mountaineer. No other vehicles were involved in the crash, and no tickets have been issued.

Jay Redd Talks Men in Black 3 and Looney Tunes 3-D
Watch Jay's video interview segments exclusively on AWNtv!
Jay Redd's journey to the visual effects industry began, like so many others, with a profound childhood movie experience. In his case, it was a family vacation to Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming, the location for the alien ship landing in Close Encounters of a Third Kind. Unable to find the landing strip and other signature landmarks from the film, he was astounded to learn that in the movies, you could take something from the real world and turn it into something so fantastic. From humble beginnings doing logo design for local businesses in Utah to supervising visual effects on the latest Men in Black franchise hit, Jay has worked on some of the biggest films to come out of Hollywood. We recently had a chance to talk about his career, working with Ken Ralston again on MiB3 and with Matt O'Callaghan on the recently resurrected Looney Tune 3-D shorts.
Dan Sarto: Before we jump into Men in Black 3, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the recent visual effects supervision you did on Warner Bros.' new Road Runner & Coyote 3-D shorts. Can you tell us a little bit about that project?
Jay Redd: I had a great time on that. [I got into the project through] Matt O'Callaghan, whom I knew from SPA [Sony Pictures Animation]. He was there working on some projects while I was at Imageworks. I was between projects, having just finished Monster House, doing a few things at Sony Pictures Animation, and I was looking around for some different things to work on. I talked to some folks over at Reel FX, in Dallas, and they asked me to come out and do some work with them on these Road Runner shorts. I talked to Matt a little bit about it, and he said, "Oh man, we could really use your help, it'd be great." So, that's how that started.
Working with Reel FX was a pretty interesting experience, because I had been working in a bigger studio, Imageworks. Reel FX was smaller, and had, arguably, less structure. They had done amazing character animation and great stuff for a smaller house. I went over there to help them put together a theatrical quality 3-D system, and these shorts came along. I had a blast making them. I was working with new rendering software, figuring out how to do stereo [stereoscopic 3-D]. There are some really talented people at the studio there.
I grew up on the Road Runner cartoons like everyone else and so being able to take Chuck Jones' work into three dimensions was an honor, and also a huge challenge. To not just make 3-D versions of the characters, but to inhabit the spirit of the way Chuck Jones' work was done. When you start deconstructing the work that he and his animators did, there are all sorts of things that are happening in-between frames, and in-between cuts. How would you recreate that stuff in three dimensions? Working with the Reel FX team, we developed a bunch of different methods for creating, say, motion blur in 3D, without using "motion blur". In a Chuck Jones drawing, you might have six versions of a hand going by made out of paint strokes. How could we actually make that happen in stereo?
There were a bunch of really cool tools that were built at that studio to make all that happen. Matt has such a great comic sensibility and timing, and his strong animation skills really lent themselves to bringing the Chuck Jones stuff to life. We seemed to be able to capture his spirit.
DS: The finished shorts are really funny and look great. To bring such cherished characters and action into the 3-D world, you guys did a really good job.
JR: Thank you. I think we really treated the work with respect and, again, the whole team felt like it was an honor to be able to work on those films. It wasn't just a little job. It was something we wanted to protect, and something that we wanted to pay homage to and go beyond that. We heard after the fact that Chuck Jones' wife had seen the films at Warner Bros. They brought her in to look at them, and give them her blessing, so to speak, and – this is what Matt told me – she was almost in tears, saying that Chuck would be proud of them. That was the best message that we could have gotten. So I'm really, really proud of those shorts, and it was a great team at Reel FX that put those together.
it should be noted that Jay did not work on the latest (2011) shorts, but worked on the original set that was done in 2010. The Daffy image was part of the new set done by the same core team at Reelfx, headed by Animation Director Bryan Engram and VFX Supe Augusto Schillaci, which was followed up by the Sylvester and Tweety short that was headed by T. Dan Hofstedt (animation) and Joel Friesch (vfx supe).

Pleiades star cluster, one of the best known and studied, is so young that many of its massive, blue, short-lived stars are still shining. The cluster was the subject of the first published "periodic table" of astronomy, which became known as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Image: Rogelio Bernal Andreo deepskycolors.com
In Brief
- Astronomy is remarkable for how it gleans so much knowledge from such meager slivers of light. A graph known as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which marks its centennial this year, is part of the secret.
- The diagram plots the luminosity and temperature of stars. On it, striking patterns emerge, classifying stars by their stage of life and revealing that most of their properties are ultimately determined by mass.
- These patterns helped astronomers deduce that most stars, including the sun, shine by nuclear fusion reactions. They still guide research on stars today.
More In This Article
Modern astronomy paints a vivid picture of the universe having been born in a cataclysmic bang and filled with exotic stars ranging from gargantuan red supergiants that span the size of a modest solar system to hyperdense white dwarf stars and black holes that are smaller than Earth. These discoveries are all the more remarkable because astronomers infer them from the faintest glimmers of light, sometimes just a handful of photons. A key to this success is a graph that two astronomers introduced 100 years ago.
The Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram is simple. It plots two basic properties of stars: their luminosity (intrinsic brightness) and their surface temperature (as revealed by their color). In doing so, it anchors stellar astronomy just as the periodic table anchors chemistry. Whereas the periodic table groups together similar chemical elements—for example, placing all noble gases, such as helium, neon and argon, into one column—the H-R diagram groups together stars passing through similar stages of life. When astronomers invented the diagram, no one knew why the sun and other stars shine. No one knew how stars are born or how they die. No one could even assure the public that the sun would never explode. Nor did anyone know that the stars had forged most of the elements that make up Earth and our bodies.

Hi, I bought a black 2nd wave tama-go and I got a Mametchi figure with it, and it gave me the 'Coin catch' game which I expected. I also bought a seperate Kuchipatchi figure. I read the instructions and it said that there should be games 'Flag game', 'Vegetables' and a shop, 'Chinese Restaurant.' I also checked online. However, when connected the Kuchipatchi figure, there was only one game: 'Pattern shoot' and nothing else, no shop or 2 games like the instructions suggested. I don't know if this is a glitch, error or due to me having a 2nd wave tama-go, but I didn't think this would change anything. Are the games/shops different for wave 1 and wave 2? Oh and the kuchipatchi is sitting on a yellow glittery see-through base, in case there is more than one type of kuchipatchi figure.
I connected the kuchipatchi figure BEFORE connecting the mametchi figure which the toy came with, maybe this confused the toy somehow? :s
p.s I have tried re-connecting the figure many many times, but nothing changes, still only 'Pattern shoot.'
Am I doing something wrong here?

You just have to push the figure in harder, and then it will work. It's a glitch.

You should slide it in all the way, without a 1mm gap. (Canadian metric system)
Posted 26 October 2012 - 10:13 AM ( #4 )
Yay after many attempts it's ok! I tried pushing it in harder and it still wouldn't work, but then I just blew on the connection area and banged it on the table a few times... FINALLY it worked! Thanks for your replies, so pleased it wasn't faulty

Find out about fishGet close to wild salmon at Norsk Villakssenter. Watch a prize winning film about the life of the pink fish in the Lærdalselva River and their migration to the Atlantic Ocean. There is a café and a shop on the premises.
Inspiration at the Sogn Kunstsenter (art centre) The Sogn Kunstsenter, next to Norsk Villakssenter, is an art centre that focuses on the local artist Hans Gjesme and his work. There is also a café and a shop.
Gamle LærdalsøyriLærdal has been welcoming anglers and other travellers since the middle of the 19th century. At the family owned Lindstrøm Hotel, you can choose to stay in a traditional room in the 150 year old Swiss-style house or in a modern room in the main building. The centrally located hotel is a perfect starting point for trips to the idyllic wooden houses in Gamle Lærdalsøyri. A souvenir shop and a restaurant are open in the summer.
The guesthouse Sanden Pensjonat, located in the heart of Gamle Lærdaløyri, has nine rooms to rent and is open all year round. The old building has housed a guesthouse and a shop since 1890, and the current owners have been here since 1984.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wanted a little privacy around his Palo Alto, CA home. He heard that the property next door was for sale, and that a developer was planning to big a big mansion and market it as "Next Door To Mark Zuckerberg!" So, Zuckerberg did what any billionaire would do: he bought it. And the house behind him. And another. And another. In fact, he bought ALL the homes around him for around 30 million dollars. All for a little privacy.
I don't know about you, but when I want some privacy to, say, run naked around the house, I just do what other classy people do: I put aluminum foil in the windows.

SOURCE The King's College
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Daniel A. Siedell, art historian, curator and author of God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art, will bring his extensive experience to The King's College in New York City as Presidential Scholar and Art Historian in Residence.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131003/PH91235LOGO)
"Dan Siedell is one of the preeminent voices, if not the most preeminent, in the field of art history and art criticism in Christian circles today. His scholarship is respected across the academy as a writer and speaker, and his book God in the Gallery has received widespread praise," said College President Gregory Alan Thornbury.
"As a Presidential Scholar at The King's College, Dan will come alongside our distinguished faculty to foster theologically informed conversations about the importance of art in contemporary culture."
The appointment adds to Dr. Siedell's already notable list of positions as a Scholar-in-Residence at the New City Arts Initiative in Charlottesville, VA and as curator of LIBERATE, the teaching ministry of Tullian Tchividjian and Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Siedell has served as a Professor of Modern & Contemporary Art History, Theory, & Criticism at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and as the Chief Curator at the Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Siedell earned his doctorate in Art History from the University of Iowa and his Master of Arts in Art History, Theory, and Criticism from Stony Brook University.
"I want to help King's students experience the art world from the perspective of someone who has devoted his life to it," Siedell said. "The appointment provides me the opportunity to pursue my work on modern and contemporary art in conversation with theology as well as to deepen the church's understanding of the history of art as an important cultural practice with significant theological implications."
In addition to research and writing, Siedell will develop the integration of art history into the College's broader Politics, Philosophy, & Economics core curriculum and programs for graduate and seminary students and junior faculty around the country. In the spring, Siedell will teach a course on a framework for interpreting art from a Christian perspective and a practicum that will take advantage of the College's location in the art capital of the world.
Harry Bleattler, Program Chair, said, "Bringing Dr. Siedell to King's greatly enhances our program in Media, Culture, and the Arts. His expertise in art history and criticism, under-girded by a strong theological foundation, will prepare students to interact with and contribute to the world of cultural criticism and of modern and contemporary art."
Makoto Fujimura, artist and founder of the International Arts Movement, said, "Daniel Siedell is not only one of the best critics and interpreters of culture today, but one of the leading thinkers toward integration of art, faith, and culture. I am delighted to hear of his new appointment at The King's College as it signals King's commitment to arts and culture, and to developing leading thinkers for the 21st Century."

Richmond, Va.–The Virginia State Senate voted overwhelmingly today to pass through Governor Bob McDonnell's education reform agenda. All three of the Governor's measures to expand public charter schools and college laboratory schools, improve and promote virtual learning received strong bipartisan support.
McDonnell released the following statement:
"I applaud the Republicans and Democrats who came together today to help Virginia school children, especially those who are at-risk and disadvantaged, gain more educational opportunities. In the modern economy, education is the coin of the realm. Without a world-class education our young people will not be able to compete with their peers in the global marketplace. States that move proactively to bring innovation, competition and reform to their public schools are not only serving their young people well, they are improving their prospects for future economic prosperity and job-creation.
The effort to expand educational opportunity is one that reaches across party lines. The leading champion of this movement is President Barack Obama. Here in Virginia, the coalition supporting more educational opportunities for all our young people includes state Senators like Republican Steve Newman and Democrat Edd Houck, state delegates like Republicans Scott Lingamfelter, Dickie Bell and Chris Peace and Democrats Rosalyn Dance and Jennifer McClellan, as well as the VEA, the Virginia School Boards Association, and the Virginia Association of School Superintendents. Today's passage of our 'Opportunity to Learn' education reform agenda means we will not tolerate a public school student in Virginia having her educational opportunities limited by her zip code. Steps like we have taken today will bring hope to our young people, new resources to our teachers, and help for our parents. These new reforms will also help greatly in submitting a vastly improved 'Race to the Top' grant application for billions of dollars in federal funds available for states that lead the way in education innovation."

Aussie special?? Essex badge
Dave Y
New Zealand -
Was this badge ever used in USA? First one of these for me...RD
This was a special badge putout by Dalgetys Australia (see the logo on the badge) for 1928 models sold there.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Per Aussie Jim Scammell, the script in the corner of the badge is an intertwining of the letters D C L, standing for Dalgety & Coy, Ltd., the Sydney, AU Hudson distributor.
Dalgety remained Hudson distributors right through to the stepdown era. I have seen, and may even have somewhere, an oval brass plate with Dalgety on it in cursive script that was fixed to the stepdown firewall.
Here are some pics of different colors some with Dalgetys script some without also brass platesessexbadges002.jpg800 x 600 - 28Kessexbadges001.jpg800 x 600 - 33Kessexbadges003.jpg800 x 600 - 27Kessexbadges004.jpg800 x 600 - 43Kessexbadges005.jpg800 x 600 - 28K -
Spencer, Those are nice. Are there many of those around anymore? I would like to have one of the ones with the flying lady on it.Brownie
I don't want to burst your bubble, but it's actually a flying man!If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
I think "Fighter Pilot" sounds a bit more macho than flying man? So I would like to find one that has the "greek" mythological fighter pilot on it-- come to think of it, that does not sound all that much better....
I would expect that would mean that this is a representation of Icarus, son of Daedalus escaping from Crete with his wings attached by wax? I think that is how the story is told?
Anyway, I would like to find one.....Brownie -
Fighter pilot??? Apparently they were fond of hood ornaments too.
http://blog.kermitweeks.com/?p=3614 -
Yep, flying man, just like the hood ornaments. Reminds me of bent metal saying, "It's a DUDE, man!".
Spencer, those are really nice. Great collection. -

That is a cool blog. Fighter pilots are a different sort. My Air Force "era" was from the F100 to the F105 and F16. I was a Wing First Shirt that covered the aircraft mentioned.Brownie -

Thanks to all for the comments, Brownie there are not many seen anymore but if I find one at a swap meet I will put your name on it. -
Thanks Spencer, Not a big hurry but would love to have one.Brownie
