Hi Kurt,

Try this link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/96471247@N00/sets/72157620599353059/ . Also, please let me know if it works. I don't know why Flickr is giving me grief - the images are in the public domain rather than secure viewing. This time I grabbed the link from the "Share This" button...

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers,

Larry Strung
