It seems that Nicola’s site is down. Does anybody know if this is permanent? Can anybody contact her about re-releasing it? I’m having a minor cardiac arrest.

Oh no! I was just literally on it the other day, trying to work away at the list here. I never got it done yet (darned this homeschooling gig cutting into my blog work time!) Thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can find it – Jyl and I have emailed before. She was hosting it. I’ll see if she has a copy!
