But only the top part of it flows out.

20 hours of rendering for 2 seconds
...yep, animation in any form is a very time and labour intensive process, I spent something like 80 hours drawing on flat card stock, then shooting (2 frames per cel using a professional multi plane animation stand) to produce just under a minute's worth of film. I also worked with stop motion and claymation as well which is even more intensive in some ways as you are working with real lights and sets. No matter what medium you work in, animation takes time, lots of time.
The little behind-the-camera seqiences at the end of films like Boxtrolls and Kubo (not to mention Aardman's Wallace & Gromit etc) have me in awe of people that make stop-motion.
Good Mornin
I will look at the AULA keyboards. Thanks. They are on sale now. Wow.
I am waiting for the winds to die down so that I can go shopping. I think the wind chill is supposed to be 35 degrees F in the afternoon?

I almost lost my tablet. I left it on the table where I ate lunch. I must have thought I put it in my bag but did not. I left it on the table to go to Starbucks and then teavanna to get some sleepy tea. I went back to get a lemonade from Charley's where they informed me I left my tablet on the table. Fortunately someone turned it in and I got my tabby back. (I call my purple tablet tabby.)
sounds like it's your lucky tablet.
achoooo fresh bottle robitussin
runaway nose
band on the run
Complaint: Why had I never seen the series "Midsomer Murders" before this? Granted it's a British production about staid, picturesque English villages rife with eccentrics that probably wouldn't interest most American viewers but it's very well done! But having found it on NetFlix I've made it a nightly ritual.
It's been running apparently since 1997 with about eight hour-and-a-half episodes per season, typically murdering three or four people each episode in delightfully grisly but staid and picturesque ways.
So in the 19 years of running they've probably done away with three or four hundred or more people! 
. It's sort of Agatha Christie on steroids!
I'm up to season 9 (2005) and haven't gotten bored yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsomer_Murders
Theme music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvD73A9eXXk
And to keep this entry on topic... Are there any DAZ models of thatched roof houses in the catalog?
You can take a look at the Medieval Village buildings. Not the city, the village. The city seems to have shingled roofs.
And the Fairytale Collection Cottage.

Ah, dear old Midsomer, murder capital of the world. Given the small size of those communities they must have more murders per capita than anywhere on earth!
I live near the edge of their locations zone (there are lots of picturesque villages and hamlets around here), and once I was very nearly an extra in the show (Ironically I couldn't make the filming dates because of a family funeral).

brrr
I left my tablets at home so I am forced to browse the web with my phone. At least I got my Bluetooth keyboard with me so I can type easier. At least it is at home instead of being with some stranger and their grubby hands.
Complaint: I've been away from Beethoven too long. Now listening to his 3rd piano concerto again. What a treat to be reminded of why he's so great. Listening to a Beethoven concerto or symphony is like closely inspecting a palace. Detail upon detail, each room with its own flavor all contributing to a unique grand edifice. The trick is not to be overwhelmed by everything at once. Find a thread and follow it as it mutates & matures, winds around, opens into great spaces, closes on itself, fades away, is reborn and explodes in fireworks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1QNhRNxvTI

My bagel is now cold. Wonder if I can use the toaster when my manger comes back to warm up my bagel. We have a toaster thingy that toasts bread and warms up the sample to be given to people to look at. Apparently the people think the sample goes into their mouth. I do not tell them that it is just for them to look at and sniff at, but they think it is something to put in their mouths. Apparently it is a popular thing to do in the food court. When someone gives you a sample at the food court, I guess the sample goes into your mouth. LOL
thinkin of trying this stuff http://www.alkalolcompany.com/alkalol/alkalol-2/
been battling a cold 3 weeks now. nose running away all night.
made it to work though. the march madness is commin, mebbe, they haven't announced it
toasted bagel sounds good. with cream cheese
roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news
Got butter instead as it is cheaper
I viewed an episode of "Fawlty Towers" recently. It's the one where Basil's wife tells him to "stop listening to that racket" and he fires back. "Racket?... That's Brahms! Brahms third racket!"
ROFL
Cream cheese and smoked salmon is even better.
Funny, I thought Santa Carla in the US was the murder capital of the world.....they specifically stated it.....

Of course, that was 1987.....perhaps Midsomer got some recent increases their numbers......especially since Santa Carla probably went down after the events in 1987.....
I can't agree with you more. I bought this concert on DVD. I absolutely love Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein was a real joy to watch conduct! While everyone around me on the drive in to work is listening to the latest angry, noise that's called music these days, I'm listening to Beethoven. He keeps me from road-raging!
I highly recommend picking up: Peter Takács, Beethoven; Complete Piano Sonatas. I can't imagine Beethoven himself playing any different.
I love the piano part between 8:00 and 9:37.
Leonard Bernstein was always amazing to watch. He jumps around like an excited boy despite his late life girth. I remember him on TV back in the '50s & '60s when he was slim & trim. But he smoked like a chimney and suffered from emphysema.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein.
Bernstein would have loved the modern Internet's easy access to HD video recordings of concert performances. It's what he started on TV 60 years ago. It may even revive an interest in going to concerts. Watching on the Internet or TV may have better visuals but there's nothing like the ambience and the sound of a live performance of something you like.
And you don't have to be one of the 1%'ers to go to a concert anymore. Tuxedo not needed. Dress nicely, be civilized and they welcome your money. Tickets can range from $40 to $100. Less than for going to a major sporting event.
I try to go to Sunday afternoon performances, driving at night is not fun for me. I even splurge and get a glass of champagne set aside for me for the intermission so that I don't have to wait in line. Going in early and chatting with the drinks vendor helps him remember your face. Pay for the drink, take your receipt then just come back during intermission, pick up your drink waiting for you and wander the hall while everybody else tries to decide whether to wait in line for a drink or the restroom. When I was in Washington DC we'd pick up our drinks during intermission and wander out onto the terrace of the Kennedy Center overlooking the Potomac river. Sometimes we'd wander around to the backstage side entrance onto the terrace where orchestra members were standing outside, frantically smoking their cigarettes, and chat up a few. Intermission could be as much fun as the performance.
Morning. Mobs of hungry orange-beaked seagulls screeching like banshees around bins of rubbish like ghostly white savage hordes in the deep shadowed canyons between city towers :)
we had march madness early here the past couple of weeks, looking forward to some February love :)
doen't taste as good :)
