I'll wait for Uncle DD to write first... ZZZZ
are you saying Uncle DD is too old? or he doesn't know to enjoy life the youthful way?? I'd doubt it :P
In other words you're saying uncle DD is a sports bar pedophile??
... and what does he do with those girls after the football 'match'??
Yeah, Lan Kwai Fong, and don't forget to wear condoms! But at 70 HKD for a beer and 100 for a cocktail, I'd rather sit in my spacious apartment, open a nice bottle of wine, and invite a prostitute over. It would cost less, and I think I'd have a lower chance of getting STIs.
I'm just saying it would cost you less if you paid for sex than if you hooked up with some girl in a lkf bar, and you'd get less diseases. The impression I got down there was that the people who go go regularly and have already hooked up with everyone there.
Oh, s'pose not. Why the fuk do you want to go to a club then? Enjoy damaging your ears?
"Well I can't take a babe bak" [br][br] "Why the fuk do you want to go to a club then?"
I think we are about to learn a brave new truth about Pete. I dunno what yet though.
Also, Hong Kong sucks to my assmar. Why are you even going there? I guess you could try some of the clubs around the escalator, or around Soho. I guess those are kind of the same area.
Yeah I'd rather be in NYC any day. Unfortunately my evil twin lives in HK, so I have to go back to fight him.

A sheriff is an elected law enforcement official for a county. Sheriffs usually have policing jurisdiction over unincorporated areas of the county, though in some states, sheriffs have jurisdiction throughout the state.
In many locations, the sheriff also runs the county jail.
The sheriff keeps records on criminal arrests, incidents reported to the sheriff, traffic collision reports, and other records. Many of these records are available to the public.

Discussion in 'Hangout' started by amogh, Dec 26, 2013.
Amogh, what did you choose?
I chose "Yes". I have no problem if somebody posts Speeding pics.
I Voted Yes
Since its upto the individual the way its taken. I believe TFI members are more responsible, speeding pics wouldn't cause someone to hit the road madly or try something which someone not confident about
Where is the NOTA
lol! Good one. But with the way NOTA is treated it is better not to have it
Voted :- Yes.
Reason :- Why should i do the speed as posted by an "X" Tfian ? Why not to do the speed as an "Y" Tfian ?
"Be Responsible and Own the road"
I opted for Yes.
I don't see a point what could go wrong with that post.
Be responsible on road. Judge the condition around and take decision.
Voted: Yes.
I assume that a person driving a FIAT is mature enough to understand these things. And moreover the members of this forum are the ones who are the lovers of FIAT and its vehicles. Each one us know the capacities of our vehicles and if we are to explore our vehicles beyond their limits, it is an individual's decision and risk. And for those who are encouraged by these pics and posts cannot be stopped by banning the posts on TFI. They will move to other forums or means of information and will try it out as per their wish.
But the positive thing that can happen on TFI and probably no other forum is educating such experimenters on the ill effects of what they are doing.
I am yet to see a single convincing reason of why exactly these pics should be allowed. Status quo is that they are not. We need to argue whether that needs to change and provide reasons for the same.
Saying "people should be mature to decide for themselves" , "if somebody decides to speed after seeing the pics it is their decision" are not positive arguments supporting why the ban should be lifted.
To me , a hypothetical positive reason why the ban should be lifted is something like "posting these pictures will help people become better drivers or become more knowledgable about their cars or help diagnose common issues better etc. etc. " - stuff which the ban is currently preventing.
PS : To me the relevant question is "should the ban be lifted" . "Should we allow/not allow.." would have been relevant had the ban not there been in the first place.
Such high speed pics and clips available in net,films like dhoim or fast & furious also needs to be banned.
TFI can not regulated internet so why even think about such in the forum.
This similar to selectively banning few porn sites by google but,it is just an impossible task.

They say timing is everything, and so it was for Eminence High School senior Alyssa Jones.
Jones, who has been involved in her church choir since she was very young and began taking voice lessons from Ruth Ann Mills-Moore in New Castle as a fourth-grader, participated in the music program during her three years at Henry County High School.
Last summer, she and her family moved to the house in Eminence where her late grandmother lived. That meant transferring from HCHS to EHS for her senior year.
After more than nine hours of deliberation, a jury found Johnny Lee Gibson not guilty of five felony charges related to a 2008 home invasion in Smithfield.
Rob Riley, who defended Gibson, said his client was "ecstatic that he finally had his day in court," and that Gibson was "happy as a clam" with the verdict.
Henry County Middle School
SBDM Parent Election
On Feb. 10, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the HCMS main office two parent representatives will be elected to the school's Site Based Decision Making Council.
Any parent or guardian of a 6th, 7th or 8th grade student for the 2012-2013 school year is eligible to vote and/or be elected to these positions.
A broohaha over the Pleasureville City Clerk's salary may have started over a letter about chickens.
For the fourth month in a row, payroll policies and the actions of the city clerk took center stage at the Pleasureville City Commission meeting.
After a second reading of an ordinance that will amend the salary range for the city clerk's position to $10,000 to $30,000, the commission approved the reading 3-1, with Commissioner Pam Bramblett casting the lone opposing vote.
Two candidates will face one another for the sole local race on the May primary ballot.
Nick Hawkins and Gina Lyle are the Democratic candidates for circuit clerk. The incumbent clerk, Mary Lou Roberts, is retiring and not seeking reelection.
For Lyle, filing to run for circuit clerk was a "natural next step," in her 23-year career with the circuit clerk's office. "It's something that I've worked toward for the last 23 years," Lyle said.
Dr. Karen Shay knows, all too well, the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
Her daughter Sarah died after overdosing on methadone. She was 19.
Shay, who lives in Morehead, shared her story, and her daughter's story, in an appearance with Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway at Henry County High School last week. The two were on hand, specifically, to talk to the school's freshmen.
Even nearly four years later, reliving the morning of May 2, 2008, elicits intense physical reaction from Cheryl Bibelhauser.
On the witness stand Monday, Bibelhauser recalled the day when two armed men wearing ski-type masks broke into her Ballardsville home and terrorized her family, stealing thousands of dollars worth of cash and valuables, confining her and her son in a bathroom and forcing her husband to drive to a nearby bank to cash checks totaling more than $3,000.
When asked about problems facing young people today, you might think about drug use, teen pregnancy, depression, or cyber bullying. These are all important issues, but did you know that dating violence is one of the most prevalent issues affecting "tweens" and teens between ages 11 and 19? One study shows 1.5 million high school students have experienced some type of physical abuse by a dating partner in the past year.
Trimble County Fiscal Court has hired a project manager to build the new animal shelter, which is to serve both Trimble and Henry counties.
The vote was made during a special meeting Friday, Jan. 27, at Judge-Executive Randy Stevens' office in Beford.

Data Intimacies: Caring for Data in Sweden
Tid: On 2017-04-05 kl 14.00
Föreläsare: Alison Cool
Plats: Room 4618 (IxD studio)
As international attention turns to the potential of big data in biomedicine and behavioral sciences, Sweden has invested considerable resources in leveraging the economic, social, and political value of its informational treasuries. Sweden is well known globally for the scale and scope of its national databases. Given these far-reaching data collection practices, some observers have labeled Sweden as a model surveillance state. However, citizens have demonstrated a high degree of trust in authorities and researchers to appropriately manage personal information. In turn, officials and scientists have worked to ensure that national data is used to enhance the well-being of the population. This political framework often operates in combination with a moral imperative, as researchers and authorities work to "protect the data," thus enacting their visions of both good science and the good society. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with Swedish researchers and data managers, I offer a critical perspective on public engagement with the registration of personal information through the lens of the intimate relation between the individual and state in Sweden. Through an analysis of two major scientific controversies in Sweden, I examine what happens when the trust breaks down, and argue that data protection policy can be better informed by situating privacy within specific social relations.
Alison Cool is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at CU Boulder. Her research interests include the anthropology of Scandinavia; anthropology of science, medicine, and technology; science policy; expertise; economics; life sciences; twin studies; global data circulation; and cultural understandings of privacy and surveillance.

very fishy taste, didn't work for us
Posted by JanMartin on Jun 14, 2017 | Verified Purchase
These are very fishy tasting. Bought these because my kid won't take liquid fish oil and the doc wants us giving Omegas. But these aren't any better than the liquid in terms of taste. Thought maybe I could eat them instead...but no way! I'll stick to my capsules. Another waste of money that will sit in the cabinet until they expire and I toss them. So I thought I'd let people know that if you consider these thinking they taste better than the liquid fish oil, they don't. For kids that don't mind the taste of liquid fish oil, they probably won't mind these either and they would be good for travel when you don't want to cart a bottle of fish oil with you.

Looking for marriage advice? Thinking thoughts like, "How can I save my marriage?
Having a successful, fulfilling marriage takes something from each person in the relationship. Over the years doing this work and experience in my own marriage, I believe success comes down to essentially these five pieces of advice:
Save My Marriage Tip #1: Commitment
This is probably the most essential in any relationship you want to last for a life time. Because the truth is that over time, the intensity and the passion softens and sometimes your marriage just isn't that fun or rewarding. This can be due to life stress or changes one or both of you are going through. Many couples I see don't feel like they're "in love" any more or feel disconnected. This is fairly normal in most long term relationships. If you interview people who have been married for 40 years, most will say that things weren't always smooth. There's really no way around it: Making a marriage last really comes down to making an overarching commitment to the marriage as a whole and doing what it takes to make it last.
Save My Marriage Tip #2: Emotional Maturity & Personal Growth
Essentially what this marriage advice means is each person in the relationship is willing to grow in their ability to give to the other and to recognize each other's needs. Each person is also willing to take on their own personal growth or develop a larger purpose for their life. Growth can be done in small or big ways but overall it means each person strives toward making their own personal lives healthy and fulfilling. The healthier you are as an individual, the more a contribution you are to the partnership.
Save My Marriage Tip #3: Choose to Move Toward Not Away
This is marriage advice from researcher John Gottman in his work on what determines marital success. Moving towards each other, not away during or after arguments (and in general) is key to repairing the relationship and solving problems. What I often see with couples is that they withdraw from each other when they're upset, develop patterns of not sharing inner thoughts and feelings or start to lead separate lives when they feel disconnected. Moving toward each other might be as simple as making sure you greet each other with a kiss/hug at the end of the day or laughing together at the end of an argument. It also means you are actively noticing times when you're disconnected and doing something about it (like, "Hey babe..it seems like we've had no time together and I'm feeling kind of distant. Can we spend time together this weekend?). It also means that when you're upset with your partner, that your mind is working on reconnecting or repairing not building evidence against them!
Save My Marriage Tip #4: Be 100% responsible for your words, actions and thoughts about your spouse/marriage
There's a myth out there that marriage is 50/50. But, the truth is, as anyone who's been marriage long enough can attest, it's rarely ever 50/50. Sometimes over the years, one makes more money and does most of the housework. Sometimes when someone gets sick or is trying to advance their career or education, the other person picks up all the slack for childcare and running errands. This is what love and emotional maturity is all about. Heed this marriage advice: Being 100% responsible means that you are fully responsible for how and who you are being in the marriage. It means that you are fully taking care of your marriage with your words said to your spouse or about your marriage to others. This means managing your negative thoughts when you're angry. It means that you actually have to stop blaming each other and start being willing to give up being "right" for the sake of the partnership. And it most certainly means being responsible for your actions by being faithful, loving and and a true friend to each other.

Save My Marriage Tip #5: Recognize that you both have valid points of view that are just different
This piece of marriage advice might seem obvious but most of the time, most of us operate like we speak and think the "truth" about things. We assume our point of view about the world is more valid or "true" than others. Most of us would agree that arguments stem from differing points of view, but arguments persist because we don't acknowledge that the other person has an equally valid point of view. It's what some marriage researchers call, "binocular vision"-- holding your point of view and your partner's point of view at the same time. This takes emotional maturity and it sure isn't easy when we're feeling hurt or angry.
Read my article 5 Daily Habits That Would Totally Transform Your Relationship
For a few minutes, write out your partner's point of view about how you are being in this relationship. Let go of who's right or wrong for the moment (You can always be right in a few minutes from now!); just simply write down his or her point of view as if you were trying to get an "A" from your teacher on how exact it is. Now sit with this for a few minutes and notice how you feel. Allow yourself to try on your partner's point of view as if it were a hat you can take off. But see if you can comfortably wear it for a while.

I am at loss for words now. I know the anguish and sorrow that this woman Lorenzen mother is feeling, I know that deep in her heart the reality is why and who killed him. If this crime can be solved that alone can bring her heart back to the world of the living. It's not the fact that he is gone but the fact that she says she wanted to walk for the last time where he walked , to see him smile to know that momma is here. Is that so hard to have god answer her prayers, or is this the way of life. The way of life that this is not to be known
what really happened and why.

Both foreign ministers agree to hold regular talks to avoid political misunderstanding, following recent media reports over disagreements between the two countries.BRUSSELS – French and Czech foreign ministers on Monday promised to hold regular talks to ensure there are no political misunderstandings, after a row over protectionism.
"We have actually very close views," said Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg.
"There are rumours sometimes in the media that create a misunderstanding about French-Czech relations," he added.
His French counterpart Bernard Kouchner agreed: "What is sometimes published in the press" on disagreements between the two countries "is really not true".
Kouchner said his 20-minute meeting with Schwarzenberg prior to a meeting of all 27 European Union foreign ministers was "very friendly and positive".
Relations between Prague and Paris, the current and previous holders of the EU's rotating presidency, have curdled in recent weeks.
Earlier in February, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek accused French President Nicolas Sarkozy of protectionist measures which "may slow down and threaten the revival of the European economy."
Sarkozy had suggested in a televised interview that car manufacturing by French companies in countries such as the Czech Republic, should be relocated to France to create jobs there in the economic downturn.
The Czech Republic is not alone in its concern over perceived protectionist moves. Sentiment is growing in the eastern EU nations that their richer western counterparts are not doing enough to help them through the financial and economic crises.
Prague has also been riled by criticism by French officials, relayed through the press, accusing the Czechs of being too passive at the EU helm in the face of the global economic maelstrom.
There was also embarrassment in Prague in December over the leak of a document presented as a transcript of a meeting between Sarkozy and Topolanek.
All was sweetness and light in Brussels but Schwarzenberg added that "it would be better in the future to speak regularly to each other."
"We have decided to see each other, or at least talk, twice a week," Kouchner said.
"Honestly it's a pleasure to work with Karel Schwarzenberg," he stressed.
The two ministers also decided to travel together to Bosnia, said Kouchner, without giving a date.
To help rebuild relations, Topolanek and Sarkozy were due to meet in Berlin on Sunday, on the margins of a European preparatory summit ahead of a meeting of the G20 industrialised and emerging nations in London on 2 April.
However due to time constraints, the meeting didn't happen. Instead, the two leaders are due to meet in Brussels on Sunday on the sidelines of an EU summit.
Last Wednesday Czech Deputy Premier Alexandr Vondra, in Brussels for a think-tank debate, also sought to smooth relations with France, while defending his country's role.
"We have some dignity, some pride" and "we will immediately respond" to criticism, he said.
"We're not creating dividing lines, looking for conflicts, we want coordination, unity among the EU member states," in order to facilitate economic recovery efforts, he said.
"I believe that France is a very important part in finding those agreements."
Even before France handed over the EU presidency to the Czechs on 1 January, Sarkozy who led a hyperactive French EU term at the helm warned that he would not be satisfied to take a back-row seat in Europe.
"No one could think that it would be a positive thing for Europe for France to leave its chair empty now just because it has finished its six-month presidency. No! On the contrary, I will be taking action," he promised in December.

This is an excellent, highly readable, if long piece on the Taliban. The Taliban's new stronghold is Pakistan - it is patently clear if democracy is to survive in this region the Taliban must be completely eradicated. The best selling DVD in the area is that of a 12 year old decapitating someone who is anti-Taliban - the executions are a way of life in this part of the world:
"The exercise will be extended to [other parts of the country later] as we have the full support of madrassas in various cities. If the Government does not impose sharia within a week, we'll do it." [Sharia law is the extreme religious law imposed in some Islamic countries]

This is the fourth book of the Sue Lee Mystery series. It takes you deeper into murder and espionage during the final years of the World War Two.
Inside was a sheath with shell inlays, beautifully crafted, and very old. Sue Lee and Jimmy said at the same time, "The Kazaritachi sheath?" And looked at each other." Sue Lee spoke first. "Why are they separated, where is the sword?"
©2016 D.M. Sorlie (P)2016 D.M. Sorlie
Disclaimer: I received this book in a book promotion offer by the author. This in no way influenced my honest review of the book.
This is book four of the Sue Lee Mystery Series. It is now the final year of World War II and Sue Lee and Jimmy go to Hawaii to examine the contents of Uncle Yoho's safe deposit box. They find the scabbard for the sword and a scroll by Yoshi telling some of the early history of the sword. The story goes back and forth between some of the key people in Sue Lee's life. Dr. Jane decides to leave San Francisco and join the Royal Army Medical Corp and go to India, apparently there is a desperate need for medical doctors to treat the wounded from the campaign in Burma. Alex and other friends are on assignments of great risks to themselves.
As the book nears the end the author begins to bring to a conclusion some of the characters: for example Sue Lee receives a letter that Tomusso is married to another physician and working in Genoa after the War. Sue Lee leaves the Army after the World War II and takes over her Uncle Yoshi's job with the shipping company she is a partner in. Sue Lee discovers the sword (I won't tell you—read the book).
One has the feeling this is the end of the series but I understand there is one more book coming up in the series. The book is well written and the suspense builds and builds throughout the story. I enjoy the bits of history that are woven into the story. I find it most delightful to discover a little pearl of knowledge here and there. I am looking forward to the next book in the series as I have enjoyed this interesting series. Jeffrey L. Hering does a good job narrating the series.

The Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) sits on 127 acres adjacent to the Chattahoochee River and includes forest, wetland, and river habitats. The facility also includes a Wildlife Walk which showcases native raptors including bald eagles. CNC is a private, non-profit with 2.5 miles of trails, an interpretive center, and gardens. There is an admission fee to access the grounds, and the facility is open daily 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday and 12-5pm Sundays. Free parking, restroom, and snacks available. Consider a visit to CNC for first-time birders and birding with children.
CNC is a great spot to view not only common yard birds in a beautiful and natural setting, but also great to view spring and fall migrants along the trails, and wading birds and winter ducks in the wetlands. Seasonal highlights include warblers, swallows, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, kinglets, Sandhill Crane, Bald Eagle, Osprey, Belted Kingfisher, herons, Wood Duck, and more. Many visitors also enjoy getting a chance to view and photograph native raptors in the Wildlife Walk.
CNC offers seasonal canoe trips to get visitors onto the river and gives birders a chance to bird on the river.
For more recent sightings, see eBird posts http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L668713?yr=all&m=&rank=mrec&hs_sortBy=date&hs_o=desc
From GA 400: Exit 6 Northridge. Turn onto Dunwoody Place, continuing to the intersection of Roswell Road. Turn right. Cross over the Chattahoochee River and turn left onto Azalea Drive. At 2nd traffic light, turn left onto Willeo Road. We are located ½ mile on right.

Sweetwater Creek State Park is the Georgia State Park closest to the metro Atlanta area. Seven miles of trails, shaded streams, and a lake, support some interesting species during migration and in the winter, including Red-breasted Merganser, Common Goldeneye, and Greater Scaup, for the rarer species. Occasionally, Bald Eagles and Ospreys are seen there.
An access trail leads to Sweetwater Creek itself and traverses a hardwood forest, leading to the creekside trail with its shoals area, extended trail system, and the ruins of an old Civil War mill. Birding is slower here in the summer since the main attraction at Sweetwater is the lake, bringing in the migratory and overwintering waterfowl.

How's that for some numbers? ('Tis the season to be ambitious, right?)
I read lots of non-fiction; it's a nice break from fiction, especially when I'm ready for some pictures and practical knowledge that can be taken (more or less) at face value. This 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge is my effort to capture those books in a meaningful way, and maybe clear out some of my TBR backlog in the process. If you're interested, the challenge includes a lot of mini challenges to keep things interesting (book bingo and whatnot), but I'll probably just keep my eyes on the goal.
For a while I was hot on the trail of a challenge that involved books supporting one's 2017 resolutions, but when I discovered it only ran through early February, I knew better than to apply that sort of pressure so early in the year! Even though it involved only 4 books -- um, no thanks. (Saying "no" more often is one of my resolutions. Yay! I'm off to a good start.)
Still, I have lots of books that represent what I want to do/learn/improve upon this year, so here goes: a longer list in a longer time frame, with lots of room for future books to be added. They're a fairly even mix of long-term TBR books and merry-Christmas-to-me recent purchases. I'm still feeling ambitious!

ANAHEIM — The A's won't be naming their starting pitcher for the first game of the playoffs until this weekend at the earliest, and manager Bob Melvin said the club has plenty of time to work out various permutations of the roster.
What the club does know is that after ending the season Sunday in Seattle, the club will give everybody the day off, then begin workouts starting Tuesday.
Somewhere in there the A's might have either an intrasquad game or a simulated game to make themselves ready for the first game of the playoffs.
The A's don't know who they will be playing, although they do know they are close to clinching the home field advantage for the first round of the playoffs. A couple of wins, a couple of Tigers' losses or one of each would have the A's at home for the first round.
Talking before Tuesday's game, Melvin said that not all roster decisions had been made, although he jokingly allowed that team home run leader Brandon Moss had made the roster. The A's almost certainly will go from five starting pitchers to four, and the club will have to decide if that means adding a starter to the bullpen or having a starter replace someone in the bullpen.
And a decision has to be made on whether or not to carry three catchers, as the A's have been this month.
Other than saying "those are possibilities," Melvin won't tip his hand, although he did say having catcher Derek Norris work out at first base won't impact the way the catching situation is handled.
— Norris started taking grounders at first regularly the last two days after Melvin called him into his office Monday afternoon to ask him to take on first base. The club's only right-handed hitting first baseman, Nate Freiman, is out with abdominal pain.
Norris was asked about the huge smile he was wearing when exiting Melvin's office.
"It was exciting," he said. "It's not every day you get news like that. I have no idea where it goes from here, but if I can do something to help the team and get in the lineup, I'm more than willing to get my feet wet there."
For his part, Melvin said he hoped he wouldn't have to use Norris at first at all. If Freiman, who took some swings off a tee for the first time Tuesday, can play, the manager seems to feel that's the club's best option for right-handed offense at first base.
Still, the manager likes what he's seen from the catcher playing at first base.
"You wouldn't necessarily know it to look at him, but he's a pretty good athlete," Melvin said. "He runs pretty good, too. I'm hoping we don't have to (use him there)."
Freiman could get in some regular batting practice in the cage this week, and if that goes well there's still a chance for him to make the postseason roster.
— Catcher John Jaso went 1-for-2 with two walks in four plate trips in his first instructional league game Tuesday.
Jaso is hoping to come back from missing more than two months because of concussion problems. It's not at all certain that he will be cleared to play, at least for the first round, but if he is, he would be limited to a designated hitter/pinch hitter role.
While Jaso will spend this week getting playing time with the instructional leaguers, but after that the A's could bring him to Oakland early next week to play in any simulated or intrasquad games.
"There is still time to make decisions of that sort," Melvin said. s.

The European Union on Tuesday decided not to appeal a WTO ruling against EU duties on high-technology goods but called on countries to negotiate a new tariff-free deal on such products.
"The EU has decided not to appeal and will instead focus its efforts on implementation and -- in the hope other WTO members will now engage -- negotiations of an updated Information Technology Agreement which will be fit for the 21st century," a EU diplomat told a World Trade Organization meeting.
The WTO had ruled in August that EU duties on products including television set-top boxes, flat-screen panels and printers with multiple functions violated the ITA, an accord that eliminated duties for high-tech goods.
The EU justified the taxes saying that the products in question had taken on multiple functions and therefore did not fall under the ITA.
On Tuesday, the EU told WTO member states it was disappointed with the WTO's ruling on the case brought by the United States, Japan and Taiwan.
At the same time, Brussels called on member states to negotiate a revised ITA that took into account the fact that many new high-tech products now take on multiple functions.
"The EU remains of the view that it is by negotiation, not by litigation, that the scope of the ITA needs to be extended, and renews its call for an update of the ITA," it said.
With the EU's decision not to go ahead with an appeal, the findings by the WTO panel have been adopted by the trade body, thereby requiring Brussels to drop the taxes deemed to have violated WTO rules.

Studio Lighting
Hello. I need lots of help on creating a studio lighting. I got the background to look the way I want but the red paint on the teapot is not looking so good. The red paint should be really shiny and red. But the red paint on the teapot seems really faded or dull looking. The red paint should really pop out at you. There is not much shinny white reflection either to make the paint look really reflective.
I am using vray lights and HDR bitmap for reflection. Here is the picture of the red paint teapot.
As you can see, the red paint looks washed out or faded or even frosted.
I can even send the original max file with the HDR bitmap to someone if you like. Let me know. Thanks!

Your lights are too dark. Crank them and see what happens. Will make the background whiter, which will look better/cleaner.

Lots of variables. You got to tweak the lighting, the material gloss, reflection falloff, camera F stop, shutter speed, hdr... I had a link to a good tutorial but the link's dead now.

Where do you go to use the mental ray light rig that comes in the sample files?
When you say swap, do you mean delete the mental ray lights and create a new vray lights? Or select all the mental ray lights and somehow change them to vray lights?

Also, when you add the vray light, what are the adjustments you made to make it look so great? Did you just adjust the INTENSITY of each light to like 35 or higher number?

I think if i remember rightly i just adjusted the intensity until the renders looked similar.
I just did a quick test render with a car paint and chrome material. This is still mental ray but you get an idea of how the light will bounce. Standard MR car paint material and A&D Chrome.

I just tried to replace all the 3 mental ray lights with vray lights but it did not work. When I delete the mental lights, it deleted the whole thing, the stand. When I tried to UNGROUP the stand so I can delete just the mental ray light, there is a small ball connected to the mental ray light.
Can you email me the file with the vray lights? What is your email address? Thanks!

InfoSpace, which says it has gone in new directions since the days of dubious financial dealings, has signed a three-year contract with Naveen Jain's latest Internet company, Intelius.
After firing founder Naveen Jain, suing him and alleging he misappropriated InfoSpace's technology, InfoSpace is now doing business with Jain's new company, Intelius.

The Internet companies, which sit across the street from each other in Bellevue, have signed a three-year exclusive contract.
Jain, who founded InfoSpace in 1996 and Intelius in 2003, confirmed the deal Wednesday. But both he and an InfoSpace spokeswoman declined to discuss the value of the deal or how it will work.
When someone requests a background search on InfoSpace.com, the person is connected to the Intelius Web site.
The contract marks a new chapter in the hot-cold relationship Jain has had with InfoSpace. The board of directors fired him in 2002.
InfoSpace has repeated over and over again that Jain is ancient history to the company, no longer part of InfoSpace.
"There's been a line drawn and there's new stuff going on," Jim Voelker, the current chief executive, said last year.
A Seattle Times investigation published earlier this week found that in 2000 Jain and other InfoSpace executives boosted the company's stock value with accounting tricks and dubious deals, concealing revenue shortfalls and making "lazy Susan" deals, in which company officials invested in other firms that, in turn, sent money back that InfoSpace could count as revenue.
Between 1996 and 2000, Jain had turned the tiny startup, an online directory of e-mail addresses, into the Northwest's largest Internet company, eclipsing even Boeing's stock value. It then took a nose dive with the dot-com collapse.
While Jain sold more than $400 million in InfoSpace stock, faithful investors lost billions of dollars.
Voelker said the company has new managers and a new direction.
In late 2002, InfoSpace's board of directors fired Jain as chief executive officer when he refused to hire Voelker to replace him.
Right before he left, Jain sent an e-mail to the entire staff saying he was "disgusted" with the management and board. In the e-mail, Jain called Voelker "unqualified," writing that Voelker had been "out of a job for the last 2 years" and that "his last job was to take nextlink in to bankruptcy." (Voelker left Nextlink, now XO Communications, several years before it filed for bankruptcy.) In the e-mail, Jain also accused a director of insider trading.
Three weeks later, Jain started Intelius with several other former InfoSpace employees. He called it a homeland-security and personal-safety company. The Web site sells personal background checks collected from public-records databases.
Soon after Intelius was founded, InfoSpace sued Jain and another former InfoSpace employee in King County Superior Court, accusing them of violating contracts that barred them from competing against InfoSpace for two years after they left the company.
InfoSpace accused Jain of boasting that he intended for Intelius to replace InfoSpace as an online White Pages service.
Jain, in return, claimed that InfoSpace had tried to hack into Intelius' Web site to learn its business plans, and that it was "pounding" the Intelius server with repeated requests in order to crash Intelius' Web site.
The judge ruled against shutting down Intelius, and the parties settled the case in December, along with other shareholder litigation.

Starter Start-up: Flatbread
It was like having a pet. Or a vampire in hibernation. I had to go home every day at lunch, mix water and teff flour, and feed the starter. Methinks I should name it Audrey, Junior.
Meet my sourdough starter. I followed Jennifer Katzinger's recipe in Gluten-free Vegan Bread, pretty much to the letter. When I got to the point of weekly feedings (after 5 initial feedings when the culture is developing), I wanted to bake with fed starter and the "discard" portion.
What is sourdough? Sourdough is fermented bread dough. A baker mixes flour and water. Strains of yeast and symbiotic lactobacilli bacteria develop in the mixture, either due to the addition of culture, or in the case of my wild starter, because of naturally-occurring bacteria on cabbage leaves. The sour taste comes from lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli. Wikipedia taught me this. You should thank me by donating to Wikipedia.
Sourdough is the answer to perpetually sweet VGF bread. Finally, my baked good are yang through and through: not only is baking a contractive, drying (yang) process, sourdough tastes not-sweet (sweet is a yin quality).
But can I not make something that falls in the breakfast/dessert category? No.
I topped this flatbread with a maple cinnamon persimmon sauce. The source recipe called for apples, but I had two-week-old persimmons to use up. As the source notes, the base would be perfect for pizza. Hold the phone, we may have decent VGF pizza crust, OMG. FYI, this recipe had three hours of rising time total. In fact, most of the time it takes to make it is idle time.
Sourdough Flatbread
Modified from King Arthur Flour Apple Cinnamon Flatbread
1 cup teff sourdough starter, unfed (let it sit out at room temperature for four hours before using)
3/4 cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup teff flour
1 cup white rice flour
1 cup millet flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
2 tablespoons nondairy milk powder (I used soymilk powder)
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for pan
3 persimmons, diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup reserved persimmon syrup
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
In a large bowl, combine all the bread ingredients and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water extra if it's too dry. It should be a smooth, slightly wet dough. Place in a warm, draft-free place and let rise for an hour. Punch down (aka: stir it up and kind of flip the dough over) and let rise for another hour or until puffy and doubled in size. GF dough doesn't usually grow that much to 2x the original, but it should grow some.
During the second rise, combine the persimmons, syrup, and water in a small saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until the fruit has softened (but not turned completely to mush). Remove from the heat and pour the fruit through a strainer set over a bowl. Mix 1/4 cup of the liquid with coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Freeze the rest of the liquid for another use (can you say, sourdough buckwheat pancake syrup?!).
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat. Use a generous amount of olive oil to grease the pan (oil on pan = crispy crust). Spread the risen dough to form a rectangle about the size of the pan and much less than a half-inch thick. Use a spatula and push the dough around with your fingers to spread it out. Top with topping and drizzle with the cinnamon syrup. Loosely cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.
About 15 minutes before the rising time is up, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the bread on the bottom rack for 33-37 minutes or until the edges & bottom are browned and the centre isn't wet when poked. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for an hour before cutting up to pack as tribute to coworkers and friends.
That oil-fried crust though...
I also made sourdough banana bread with fed starter--sweet success there. Banana bread is soooo easy to make low-fat: I used five bananas and three tablespoons of oil instead of three bananas and the half stick of butter for which the source recipe called. Most fruity baked goods recipes can be tweaked in such ways. The sourdough gives a delightful, yoghurty (same bacteria) tang to the sweet banana bread. Usually I like a loaded banana bread, with raisins, toasted walnuts, and cacao nibs, or cookie crust bits. To preserve the starter's leavening power, I kept this one straight.
According to a friend, it was good, though when I presented it to him he said he would (and did) violate it with butter. Delivering the VGF baked goods is my business; how you consume them is your business!

Coalition of Flight Attendants Commends TSA For Keeping Knives Off Passenger Planes
Jun 05, 2013, 15:32 ET from Association of Flight Attendants
WASHINGTON, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 90,000-strong Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions today celebrated the success of its campaign to keep knives off planes and commended the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for holding the line against weapons on flights.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110302/DC58223LOGO)
"We promised 'No Knives on Planes Ever Again,' and today that promise was kept," the Flight Attendant Coalition announced. "Terrorists armed only with knives killed thousands of Americans on 9/11/2001. As the women and men on the front lines in the air, we vowed to do everything in our power to protect passengers and flight crews from harm and prevent that type of atrocity from happening ever again. We commend the TSA for revising its policy based on input from front line aviation workers with the greatest stake in the rule change. The result is better security policy and the assurance that our nation's aviation security system continues to be vigilant for knives that could be used in a terrorist attack or criminal act against passengers or crew."
Five unions representing 90,000 Flight Attendants from across the industry quickly mobilized after the TSA announced plans on March 5, 2013 to allow knives with blades up to 2.36 inches long back onto aircraft cabins for the first time since 9/11. Knives in the hands of terrorists or mentally ill or drunk or drugged passengers would have posed a clear threat to everyone in the air and in airport secure areas.
On May 6, 2013, each of the coalition unions representing Flight Attendants joined with TSA screeners, pilots, law enforcement officers and airline passengers to file a legal petition to the TSA against the rule change that would have permitted knives in the aircraft cabin. Administrator John Pistole demonstrated leadership and sound judgment by responding to this petition and other stakeholder feedback. Today, the Administrator has determined that knives will remain on the official "prohibited items list" governing what airline passengers may carry on their persons or in carry-on bags onto planes.
The Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions was quickly joined by organizations representing virtually everyone else potentially affected by a new knife policy, including TSA security officers, pilots, gate agents, federal air marshals, and airline passengers. The Flight Attendants thank the American Federation of Government Employees representing TSA Security Officers, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, FlyersRights.org, the nation's largest organization representing air travelers, the Coalition of Pilots Associations, the United Airlines chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association, the families of Betty Ong, Sara Low and Alfred Marchand as well as Airlines for America, the trade association representing U.S. airlines.
Flight Attendants also wish to thank Members of Congress from both parties for their crucial support. House Homeland Security Members Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) were instrumental in pushing for a process that would include input from aviation stakeholders. Congressmen Ed Markey (D-MA) and Michael Grimm (R-NY) led the charge against knives in the aircraft cabin by introducing the No Knives Act of 2013 within days of the policy announcement. Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Kristin Gillibrand (D-NY), the late Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) co-sponsored the "Keep Knives Out of Our Skies Act."

Members of the Coalition are the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), and Transport Workers Union (TWU).

Midshipman claims three attacked her
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The U.S. Naval Academy's superintendent has decided to move ahead with a case in which a female midshipman accuses football players of sexually assaulting her after she was passed out from a night of drinking, the school announced Monday.
Vice Adm. Michael Miller sent the case to Article 32 proceedings. That is the military equivalent of a preliminary hearing or grand jury investigation. The hearing determines if there's evidence to proceed to a court-martial.
The case comes as a string of sexual assault cases in the military has drawn attention and criticism in Congress, the Pentagon and the White House. Many of the assault cases involve alcohol, the military has said.
Cmdr. John Schofield said in a statement that the initial Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigation into this case has been completed and reviewed.
It was unclear how many football players would be named in the case, and names had not yet been made public.
The woman says the assault took place at an off-campus house in Annapolis last year. The woman's attorney, Susan Burke, said late last month that her client woke up with bruises after a night of heavy drinking and later learned from friends and social media that three football players – whom she considered friends – were claiming to have had sex with her while she was blacked out. Burke did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment Monday.

Pairing wine with your Thanksgiving dinner, whether it be traditional fare or your own twist, is always a challenge. Roasted turkey is straightforward enough but the table is often filled with a wide range of flavors. Do yourself a favor and skip considering the sickening sweet dishes that find their way to the table when considering wine pairings. Nothing will pair well with candied yams smothered in goopy marshmallows. (Shiver…)
Another serious consideration is the eclectic crowd. You and a few others are wine fans but just as many friends and family members are timid wine drinkers. For this reason it's vital to find wines that tend to please the novice and the expert – like you – alike. No small task indeed.
Instead of making specific recommendations I thought it best to give a few guidelines. We often find ourselves in strange towns and strange beverage shops during the holiday season. These simple rules of mine can be applied wherever you shop.
White Wine: I always look for something fresh and vibrant avoiding wines heavy in alcohol or oak influence. The meal is rich enough. It's no wonder that varietals like Riesling and Gewurztraminer are so often suggested. These wines tend to be lighter in alcohol than your typical Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc and have little to no wood influence. Just be sure that the wines are not too sweet – a touch of sweetness is fine and actually very desirable.
I also enjoy a good and bright Chenin Blanc and in France's Loire Valley region they make a fine example from the appellation of Vouvray. If you are a Pinot Grigio fan you are in luck as most examples, especially the Italian versions, are ideal for your turkey dinner. If you want to be adventurous you could travel south in Italy to the Campania region where they make vibrant and unique wines from varietals such as: Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina, or Coda di Volpe. (These may be hard to pronounce at first but by the time you reach the bottle's end you won't care.)
Red Wine: The primary rule I employ for reds at Thanksgiving is to avoid tannic and heavily extracted wines such as New World Cabernet. Your best bet is to again search for wines with moderate alcohol levels and good natural acidity.
Beaujolais Nouveau has just been released so this becomes a natural choice at many tables. If you are put-off by the tooty-fruity nature of Nouveau you can always opt for a good Beaujolais-Village or one of the appellation's 10 "cru" level wines (individual villages that are recognized as producing the best wines of the appellation) for something a bit more fancy.
Pinot Noir is a good choice as well as it's most often shy on tannins and younger/simpler versions are fruit-forward and crowd-pleasing. A huge go-to red is always Côtes du Rhône. There are many to choose from ranging in price from $10 to $30. These wines are fruit-forward while being complex and full of bright, natural acidity making them ideal for any table.
Sparkling Wine: Absolutely! A good sparkling wine is always welcome and especially on a festive occasion.
Beer: Of course beer has a place at the table as well. Following the same rules laid out for wine – avoid extremes like overly hoppy or strong beers. Who wants a beer with a singular, intrusive note? Rich, malty brews of the season can be a good choice, as can vibrant and complex beers such as Belgium Saison or the French Biére de Garde pair well with a wide range of foods.
Spirits: Opening the occasion with an aperitif is a lovely way for your guests to get settled in. After the meal you could offer anything from Aged Rum to Whiskey or a festive liqueur. It pays to know your crowd when making these choices, as the Whiskey lover will be thrilled with a post meal dram while others may be out of their depths here. It's often a good idea to have a quality Liqueur on hand as these are appreciated by both the novice and the veteran Spirits drinker.
What you choose to serve is a distant second to the act of opening your home and showing a heart-felt hospitality with friends and family. All the best to you and yours.
