Thanks Cronos and Mary,  I will try SH vs Jack the Ripper and I will also 
try to find SH & the Rose Tattoo.  I just tried JA again and I still can't 
access the site in firefox or explorer.  I miss that site...  Maybe you are 
accessing a cached version or perhaps it can only be accessed in the U.S.?
