Charlie, Thanks for enlightening me and others. Those of us who chose the fine arts path sometimes "see" things scientific in a different light than our scientifically trained members. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson's, I have learned more about biology and chemistry than I ever did in highschool or college. I'm quite sure this week I'll learn more from someone on this great list. Wow.....I love being a part of this group!!!!

They do carry with them a hefty price tag however and can harm your bank balance.
