Well when I tried to increase the number of noodles I got too many 
escapees ... So I reworked BOTH the noodles and the canister. I don't 
know if it's blender, or me (LOL ... willing to call it me for now) but 
until I cleaned up the canister mesh (adequate number of verities for 
collision testing) and redid the normals before I got it with NO 
escapees ... noodle count up to 428 now.

As it stands the simulation took over an hour ... and hammered my poor 
ole 32-bit dual core machine. I'm wondering if there's a way to decouple 
the script editor ... maybe wishful thinking, but I've got a gut feeling 
it's a significant resource hog.

Two more things ... I couldn't locate my kitchen hdr, so Jamie if you 
don't mind, I'd like to try the one you mentioned. Oh and hey the 
perfect noodle pigment is eluding me ... found some image's to sample 
but not joy yet, so if anyone else can offer that magic pigment, I'd 
sure appreciate the nudge.

Cheers
