Hi Andie. I have a few recommendations for your resource list: Em Hotep, Heritage-Key, and the Egyptian Yell (The last in the list is a shameless plug for my blog. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to mention mine, as I'm not sure if it's worth gracing your list).

Thanks Andie for the plug. Working on new things for 2010.

All the best
