{Yikes! I accidentally posted to p.a-u group by mistake. Sure hope that
cancelled okay. That was a first.}

Patrick Dugan's call for help on media used in skateboard wheels reminded me
of the glass of milk I did before leaving on a plane trip for Christmas.
Since "Steve" suggested on Dec. 18th that a candle out of it might work, and
I did manage time enough to do that while in the Seattle. I just never
posted the small rendering I ended up with because I thought I might render
a better one since then. Might as well post what I have anyway, it took over
7 hours to render I recall and I had used AA for only about half of it.
Continued trace without for the second half.

P.S. looking back at postings of the time I wonder if JFMILLER (as signed)
ever got any further with candles. Maybe you're out there still.

This does look good, particularly the reflection of the tiles on the 
glass.
