Dang, I wish the prize had come through for this week...I've got the stuff to give away, but I need to get a USB cable for my camera so I can put the photos on the site.  (Trust me, otherwise the prize will make no sense.)  With such a close race, this would have been a spectacular prize contest.  We'll just have to work extra hard on the questions for next time when we do give away the prize.
