Thanks for the help guys, I apreciate but finally I talked a bit more with inmotion support and we found a good solution. I will be sharing my HDRi's soon (after building my website off course )

Alan & Boofredlay, Thanks for the replies, hmmm…perhaps I was wrong….. maybe that’s why I can’t find it???? Boofredlay, the kite link you posted is similar, I thought there was one with open cells/chambers (more of an acrobatic chute)? perhaps I have went over to the 3d warehouse & put the two together in my mind…no offense intended Alan. On another note, those xxxxxx tufted sofas come in very handy for interior renderings, keep ‘em coming!!!!! Thanks again, Glenn

Woah! Vertigo. The walk mode is like walking down the street on a 50 ft pair of stilts while looking through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, silvered on the inside.

I don't mean to knock the scientists at all, they're looking for a solution to a problem that's already with us - good luck to them. But the "Solves World's Waste Problem" headline and reporting? - kind of has a subtext of; "Yippee, so it's OK to carry on producing lots of unnecessary junk, after all". Would a report about the benefits of buying food at a farmer's market without all the long distance transport, polystyrene trays and clingfilm get as much publicity? (if you are one of the lucky few that has one nearby) - I doubt it somehow. BTW - the article was a bit too technical for me. What is it exactly that they turn the plastic into? Does it taste good?

Could not stop thinking about Disney's Fantasia 2000 during Elgar's piece, he he. Thank you for the insight, Alan. So, what's the spirit of the rest of the season? More highbrow?

@mike lucey said: There is something very comforting about steam trains. Even though I'm too young to remember seeing them ploughing the main lines, I still have a fondness for them. I think in part it's the sense of being able to see how they work, no hidden-away "black boxes" like modern technology. And of course, all those little design flourishes that show the pride of the original builders, and the restorers. I'm lucky enough to have the Keighley and Worth Valley line just up the road - quite a little collection they have now, despite the line being only a few miles - here's a link... KWVR Best of all, every autumn they raise funds by putting on a massive real ale festival - 100+ ales, live bands all day in the main loco shed, seating in the old Pullman coaches, and even hand-pulled ales in the buffet cars of the trains so you can saunter back-and-forth through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside with the taste of a perfect pint and the delicious smell of the roasting coals. A truly grand day out - I recommend it to anyone - the boozing is always very civilised, so perfectly 'child friendly' too (I hear that even lager drinkers enjoy it!).

Thank you mate for kind comments and also many thanks Mayor Lucey for posting. hope find it joy and playful.

Handy for making design decisions!

Well, at his (current) age I would not be horrified...

I don't know. It seems like you just get used to one system and they eliminate it or make it bloatware. Maybe we should go retro, you know, a calendar book, a pen, and those zippy pocket protectors ( that radical stripped shirt doesn't hurt either) [image: dvbb_Screenshot2012-05-12at6.50.15AM.png]

Great stuff Al

I'm self-employed, 10 hrs per weekday is normal. Of those 10, usually only 7 will be chargeable if I'm lucky. The rest goes on quotes, bookwork, maintenence and learning. I try to keep weekends free mostly for swmbo and sailing and the bloody garden. My preference, when the work comes in, is to go for it doing 12/15 hr days, and then have a couple of days off to do other stuff. Baz

I use two samsung monitors at work that I really like as well. I was planning to replace the LG with a Samsung, but in the end this ASUS was quite a bit cheaper, faster refresh, and 2 inches bigger. But I do agree, those Samsung monitors are great!
