Transforming the lighting process in Cinema 4D
May 15th, 2014
HDR Light Studio is changing the way 3D artists light their shots in Cinema 4D. For example here are a range of shots and details from Michel Manfredi, a new user of HDR Light Studio. He is delighted with his new lighting workflow and the results he is getting using HDR Light Studio with Maxwell Render for C4D. It's amazing to see how lighting has brought these shots and the materials to life.
Look at the lovely details in those reflections. Plus the metallic sparkles zing from the HDRI reflections.
In the case of this lipstick shot, the lighting is really simple, but perfect. HDR Light Studio allowed Michel to get the lights in the right place and control the appearance of the reflections with ease. The final results render fast using a single HDRI map for all lighting and reflections. We love the sub-surface catering on the top of the lipstick too.

Develop3D Live 2014
March 25th, 2014
Meet the HDR Light Studio team at Develop3D Live 2014
Once again Lightmap will be exhibiting at this year's Develop3D Live event at Warwick Arts Centre, England, on the 15th April 2014. Meet us at Stand 20 in the Mead Gallery on the first floor. Each year this jam packed one day event gets bigger and better.
This event is local for Lightmap, less than an hour down the road, and is a great opportunity to meet our UK customers face to face and talk about all things lighting and rendering. Plus it's a chance to show off our software and the latest live plug-ins in action. Since last year's show we been very busy and increased our compatibility to now include: Bunkspeed, V-Ray for Rhino, MODO, LightWave 3D and Cinema 4D. So now HDR Light Studio works with all leading 3D visualization software.
Even if you are a 3D artist and not a product designer, then this 'design and development' focused show will still provide lots of really interesting talks and exhibitors to see. For example, you can find out lots on 3D printing and 3D scanning technologies… something more and more 3D artists are getting involved with now, or should be!
The exhibitors you may be interested in seeing that are related to Rendering/Vizualisation are:
Autodesk, Chaos Group, Lagoa, Lightworks, Luxion, The Foundry and Caustic Graphics.
We can't wait to see the key note by Daniel Simon:
Daniel is an industrial designer turned concept designer. He came to fame when he produced a book full of futuristic concept vehicle designs that he beautifully modelled in Alias and rendered to perfection. The book is called 'Cosmic Motors' (Check it out here: http://danielsimon.com/cosmic-motors-the-book/) and is a must have for anyone interested in design vizualisation. He has progressed to become one of the most in demand concept designers around, working on movies like Tron Legacy, Oblivion and Prometheus to name a few. It's really amazing that he's coming to this UK event and we can't wait to see his presentation.
Even better…. he loves HDR Light Studio and uses it with Bunkspeed. See here >
HDR Light Studio – CINEMA 4D live connection released
March 18th, 2014
Lightmap's HDR Light Studio brings lighting simplicity to CINEMA 4D
Lightmap announces a new HDR Light Studio Live plug-in for Maxon CINEMA 4D bringing simplicity to HDRI lighting. The new plug-in works with all versions of CINEMA 4D R13 and higher and supports additional market leading renderers, V-Ray, Maxwell and Octane Render.
HDR Light Studio lets artists easily create and edit HDRI lighting in real-time. With the CINEMA 4D Live Connection artists quickly develop the custom HDRI map in HDR Light Studio and see its lighting effect evolve in the Interactive Render. Use the LightPaint feature to click on the 3D model in the CINEMA 4D viewport to position the lighting effects. This 'click to light' process will dramatically speed up the lighting process with precise and perfect final results.
"HDR Light Studio has completely changed the way I work and light my scenes in CINEMA 4D. Using the live plugin for C4D is a real timesaver and it speeds up my workflow a lot. I can now choose between Cinema 4D's Advanced Render, V-Ray or Maxwell Render and get almost instant feedback on how different materials interact with different lighting setups. I also photograph HDR environments for CG lighting and I love the option to import my own HDRs and very quickly combine them with studio lights or enhance them using other available options inside HDR Light Studio to make the perfect lighting setup." Frederik Tennholt, Owner/CG artist at Good Monday
Main HDR Light Studio features for CINEMA 4D users:
• Non-destructive, interactive HDRI map creation and editing app
• Live Connection between HDR Light Studio and CINEMA 4D
• Supports CINEMA 4D Renderer, V-Ray, Maxwell and Octane Render (1.23+)
• LightPaint – Point and click light source positioning and selection in CINEMA 4D
• Push scenes into HDR Light Studio's 3D view for a fast LightPaint experience on large scenes
• Highly controllable procedural light sources
• Library of HDR lights, including HDR captures of studio light sources
• Layered lighting system with blend modes
• Enhance existing HDRI maps via localised adjustments to color, exposure, and saturation
• Augment existing HDRI maps with additional light sources
• HDR Light Studio lighting project embedded in the CINEMA 4D scene
Lightmap HDR Light Studio 4 Complete including the CINEMA 4D Live plug-in is available immediately for £299/€399/$499 through the online Lightmap store or through any Lightmap Authorized Reseller. The new plugin is a free update to existing HDR Light Studio 4 customers – download the new version today from your Lightmap store account.
For more information visit the CINEMA 4D page at our web site
Octane for MODO beta has begun!
March 7th, 2014
The Octane Render for MODO beta has now begun.
I took Octane for a spin in MODO and was delighted to discover that HDR Light Studio worked out of the box because Octane can use the MODO environment for its environment lighting too! Yay! I was able to use LightPaint in the MODO viewport to place lights and see the lighting update in an instant in Octane. I have a pretty decent consumer grade graphics card (GTX780) and it was soooo fast!! I was able to take my existing watch demo scene setup for the MODO renderer, and add the Octane materials all within half an hour…. without reading the manual too. So the integration is very intuitive and easy to use, and I found myself really having some fun using it. The quality of the image I was creating was really great and depth of field noise resolved really fast. I'm looking forward to having another play, maybe with a car model next time.
The beauty of HDR Light Studio is that your lighting will work with any renderer as it's all coming from a HDRI map – it's the only truly portable lighting format. As new renderers come to MODO we look forward to supporting them too!
Do check out Octane for MODO at the Otoy website: http://render.otoy.com/shop/modo_plugin.php
Recom Farmhouse – Mustang 2015 Launch
March 3rd, 2014
It was great to hear from HDR Light Studio user Richard Levene, at Recom Farmhouse New York, about their role in the Ford Mustang teaser images.
"Recom Farmhouse had the privilege to work on the teaser images for the upcoming release of the new Ford Mustang model. In combination with agency Team Detroit and photographer Uli Heckmann, we created a collection of images with a mixture of CGI and traditional photography. For the images with CGI cars, HDR Light Studio was used extensively in the lighting process with VRED, from previs lighting on set with the photographer to the refined lighting for the final renders. The lighting was kept pretty natural using a HDRI captured on location, with an extra light or two to boost the sun contribution or to bring up a specific detail on the car. HDR Light Studio's 'LightPaint' feature let us place the lights exactly where needed. We can't live without it now!" says Richard.
What's interesting about this customer's story is that HDR Light Studio is being used to place only small modifications to the HDRI lighting captured on location – but those small enhancements, precisely placed, are making all the difference to the dynamic visual quality of the final images. Being able to make these creative lighting edits to your HDRI map on the fly, whilst in a live connection with your interactive render session, is what HDR Light Studio is all about. Read more
HDR Light Studio launches LightWave3D live plug-in
February 25th, 2014
Newtek LightWave3D users can now enjoy live lighting sessions with HDR Light Studio – for the real-time creation and editing of HDRI maps with instant feedback in the VPR view.
HDR Light Studio adds an exciting new way to light your shots in LightWave 3D that's: easy, fast, creative, and produces stunning final results. Simply click on the LightWave viewport, even in VPR mode or an Octane Live view, to position your lights where you want them directly on your shot, with instant visual feedback. This point and click lighting approach will revolutionize your rendering workflow – saving time and improving your renders.
"It's exciting to see HDR Light Studio go to market with its new Live Connection plug-in for LightWave—the first designed to directly support LightWave's VPR," said Rob Powers, president, LightWave 3D Group. "By offering an interactive, real-time lighting tool that takes advantage of the power of the VPR in LightWave, artists are free to easily explore different image-based lighting scenarios. Image based lighting was a first in LightWave; it creates very realistic and subtle lighting of a scene. HDR Light Studio's ability to tap into the VPR to extend image-based editing makes it an essential tool for any LightWave artist."
Arion 2.5 by Random Control – adds HDR Light Studio integration
December 20th, 2013
This post is a little late…. but a quick note to let you know that Arion 2.5 Standalone now supports a live connection with HDR Light Studio 4 – providing real-time HDRI map creation and editing. We are really pleased that Random Control has added support for our lighting tool inside their amazing hybrid renderer. Do check out their web site to find out more about Arion.
Here's a demo video produced by Random Control:
Jomar Machado lights up prestigious calendar with HDR Light Studio for 3ds Max
December 17th, 2013
Jomar Machado has produced this stunning image for Shell's 2014 Calendar. He created the shot using 3ds Max and Mental Ray to render the truck, car and motorbike. The vehicles were lit entirely with HDR Light Studio, used to enhanced an existing HDRI map to perfectly shape the lighting and reflections for a more dynamic final image with an illustrative style.
Jomar used the new HDR Light Studio live connection with 3ds Max to push his 3ds Max scene into HDR Light Studio, where the LiveLight preview window was used to position additional lights onto the HDRI map using the 'point and click' light placement tool – LightPaint. Jomar could easily and artistically place highlights and reflections to really sell the 3D form of his model and create the perfect lighting rig. Because the shot was lit entirely with a single HDRI map, then 3ds Max was able to render the final image too!
Here you can see some screen shots of the model loaded into HDR Light Studio's LiveLight window.
…. and here's the final shot comped together in Photoshop.
A big thanks to Jomar Machado for sharing this work with Lightmap. To see more of his work using 3ds Max and Mental Ray, please do visit his blog or gallery.
Additional image credits: Art Director – Victor de Castro, Creative – Raul Fernandes
If you are impressed with this new way to light your scene and enhance HDRI maps in 3ds Max – check out the HDR Light Studio for 3ds Max web page for more details and example images.
Happy lighting!
PK3D Studio – Studio Lighting with V-Ray for 3ds Max
December 13th, 2013
The best part of developing creative software is when our customers share their artwork with us. Some images are a cut above the rest and take the quality bar to a higher level, and this is one of those cases. These images by PK3D Studio are absolutely stunning and show how computer generated imagery can truly be a replacement for photography.
PK3D Studio has been using HDR Light Studio with V-Ray for 3ds Max since version 1. It has become the main lighting tool for Piotr's work in V-Ray. He only reaches for V-Ray 3D light sources once he has the main lighting accomplished using HDR Light Studio.
Here are some words from Piotr about the project:
All the models are NURBS/CAD models delivered by the agency, so I didn't have too much work to do with them besides setting the mesh resolution and only few areas/parts were remodeled because of issues with the meshes after conversion to polygonal structure. Basically I start with the camera angles preparation; once they were approved I started preparing the lighting. It is always the most exciting part as you constantly have visual effect of the changes every time you update the lights in HDR Light Studio. HDR Light Studio always saves me a lot of time in the lighting process in 3ds Max. The software has got faster and more intuitive with every update, I really like how LightPaint works, making it possible to get reflections on every small corner/edge with one click.
I still use the LiveLight real-time renderer inside HDR Light Studio for designing my lighting, as it is faster than using V-Ray RT and lighting the final scene with all materials and textures etc. The geometry and cameras are exporting perfectly from 3ds Max using the .mi format. Usually it takes around 3-6 test renders before the lighting is complete, the rest is done in postproduction.
Please do enjoy these beautiful images and if you want to light your V-Ray for 3ds Max shots faster and to this level of quality, find out more about HDR Light Studio's live connection to 3ds Max here.

The New Jersey Devils owned the Montreal Canadiens on the road, winning eight straight games at the Bell Centre.
Andrei Markov, who missed most of those losses, made sure the streak ended tonight.
The Canadiens defenseman scored the game-winning overtime goal in overtime to hand New Jersey its first loss of the season, 4-3.
The goal was set up by an Andy Greene hooking penalty at the 4:01 mark of the extra session. That gave Montreal a 4-on-3 advantage. Rene Bourque missed wide on a shot from the point, but it hit the endboards and bounced out to the slot. Erik Cole whiffed on the first attempt, but Markov didn't miss, putting the puck past a diving Martin Brodeur for his fourth goal of the season.
The loss not only snapped New Jersey's eight game win streak in Montreal, but also ended a nine-game unbeaten streak in the regular season. That dated back to the 2011-12 season, when the Devils won six straight games to close the regular season.
Ryan White, Brendan Gallagher and Brandon Prust all scored for Montreal, who move to 3-1-0 on the season. They've won three straight games after dropping the season opener.
The New Jersey Devils overcame a two-goal deficit to tie the game in the third period.
David Clarkson's powerplay goal at the 5:23 mark of the final period cut the Canadiens lead to 3-2. Patrik Elias sent the puck on net from low in the right circle, with both Clarkson and Travis Zajac crashing the crease. The Devils right wing slid the loose puck past Carey Price for his team-leading third goal of the season.
Dainius Zubrus evened the score later in the period. Clarkson started the play, feeding the puck to Elias behind the Montreal net. Elias then sent a no look pass to the front of the net, where Zubrus one-timed the puck off Price and into the back of the net.
The assist gave Elias 900 points in his career.
Brandon Prust gave Montreal a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 lead just two minutes into the third period. Rookie Alex Galchenyuk kept the puck in at the blue line and moved to the left circle before throwing it toward the net. Anton Volchenkov blocked the shot, but the puck bounced over his skate and Prust swatted it past Brodeur for his first of the season.
Montreal took control early in the game, striking twice in the first period.
White opened the scoring just 2:25 into the game. Brodeur stopped Alexei Emlin's right point shot, but left a rebound that White collected and backhanded into the net for his first of the season.
Gallagher scored his first NHL goal later in the period to give the Habs a 2-0 lead. Greene mishandled the puck at his blue line, losing it to Galchenyuk and creating a 2-on-1 rush. Galchenyuk sent the puck over to Gallgher, who blasted it past Brodeur for the goal.
Brodeur recovered from the tough first period, stopping 28 shots in the loss.
New Jersey once again struggled in the opening period, being outshot 17-6 by Montreal.
Elias put the Devils on the board in the second period. Mark Fayne put a wrist shot toward the net from the right point that Elias deflected in the right circle. The puck bounced on the ice and past Price for his second goal of the season.
Price finished with 22 saves in the win.
This was New Jersey's first and only visit to Montreal this season. The two will face off two more times, with both games at the Prudential Center.
Game Notes
Devils rookie Stefan Matteau returned to Montreal for the first time in his NHL career. The right wing, who has family close to Montreal, started on the top line with Ilya Kovalchuk and Zajac. He played 9:37 of ice time and moved throughout the lineup.
Clarkson's three points tonight (1g, 2a) tied his career-high for points in a game. He also recorded three points against Montreal on February 2, 2012. Clarkson has six points (3g, 3a) this season.
The Devils have opened a season with four straight games with a point. The last time the team did that was the 1995-96 season, when they started 4-0-0.

Strange Noises Reported Around North Battleford 2012

- Hits: 320
There's been a lot of buzz over the last few weeks about strange sounds being heard in the atmosphere. People around the world and here at home have reported hearing some bizarre noises. The latest were recorded in the Battlefords last weekend. Ian Hamilton, North Battleford's mayor, says he can't explain it. "What I experienced was a scraping sound, like a snowplow." Mike Halstead, a North Battleford resident, was lying in bed when his phone rang. Calls and text messages came in from his friends, each reporting strange noises. "That's when the goose bumps got me and I thought 'that's awfully strange'." It's now days after and the city is still abuzz with talk about the sounds. Everyone has his or her own theory. But the phenomenon has stretched beyond North Battleford. Similar experiences were reported in Saskatoon, northern Saskatchewan, and parts of the USA and Europe. University of Saskatchewan professor Jean-Pierre St. Maurice says there is a natural explanation. "Somehow they are picking up noise from an electrical antenna that is there. That is electromagnetic noise. " St. Maurice says its normal and there is nothing to worry about. Whether a scientific explanation will satisfy all the people who heard something they can't explain is up in the air.

this morning it is most clear to me that attention is the most elevated form of loving. while riding transit —- i think about how everyone just wants to be heard. to be listened to without interruption. to reap a moment of reflective silence with the person they did their telling to instead of being the recipient of instantaneous and pre-digested feedback. i try my best to really hear when listening is in order.
Mindless people, hand in hand.
Love, they're in.
I know not what love is.
But that, looks like it.
I've searched, I've dug,
I've rendered myself vulnerable.
But with every discovery
Come every disappointment.
Dare I ask for more?
Entitled, am I,
To such divinity?
Maybe it exists as but a trick of the mind.
Yet, these mindless people, hand in hand.
Love, they're in.
Perhaps that is all there has ever been.
I met someone.
Thus far, we've exchanged no more than three brief conversations, yet on my bus ride home today, I welled up thinking about this person.
This is beauty.
It wasn't tears of joy, or tears of sadness; it was mere overwhelming emotion. It's what you feel when you know you've met someone's soul.
The other day, someone asked me what my story is.
I don't like that question: It seems to be asking for some dramatic life story—a spectacular trauma; an epic struggle. Often, we don't live like that. Instead, we exaggerate the impact of events, magnify the importance of our selves, and distort our stories, in an attempt to intrigue ourselves and others.
It seems to assume our lives are defined by physical occurrences. Not mine.
I have no story. If someone made a movie about my life thus far, it would be a terrible movie to watch indeed. Nothing happens; yet my mind races. Perhaps one day when the language of the mind is invented will I be able to appropriately document my story.

Republicans end abortion coverage for all their employees
GOP chairman ends abortion insurance for employees - Yahoo! News I think this is a case of putting your money where your mouth is.
WASHINGTON – A chagrined GOP Chairman Michael Steele has told Republican National Committee staff to immediately stop providing RNC employees with insurance for elective abortions — an option that Republicans strongly oppose as Democrats try to pass a health care overhaul bill. "Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," Steele said in a statement late Thursday after learning of the abortion coverage from a news report. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled." Steele instructed staff to inform the insurance carrier that the RNC wanted to opt out of elective abortion coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said. She said the policy has been in effect since 1991.

Bird Conservation
A recent paper by the Worldwatch Institute, Winged Messengers: The Decline of Birds, revealed that, "almost a third of the world's 330 parrot species are threatened with extinction due to pressures from collecting for the pet trade, combined with habitat loss." A 2001 study in the journal Conservation Biology entitled "Nest Poaching in Neotropical Parrots," concluded that, "Poaching of parrots from the wild is an economic activity driven by a combination of the market demand for parrots as pets, the large profits to the pet industry, and the rural poverty in many countries with wild-parrot populations.
Replacing the demand for birds as "pets" with a demand for preserving the species in the wild will reduce inherent welfare problems associated with captive birds while increasing the support of conservation efforts such as ecotourism that helps local people and protects wildlife by allowing people to see that birds are more beautiful in the wild.

Delayed Gratification For SHS
By: Alex Scofield
Published: 09/17/10
Adam J. Christensen slept in for an hour on Wednesday, then went to a dentist's appointment. He did not need a note when he went to Sandwich High School after the dentist—in fact, he was not late for school. SHS changed its longtime custom of early-release Wednesdays when the September 15 school day began at 10:35 AM. It was the dawn, so to speak, of the late-start Wednesday era.
For the rest of the school year, alternating Wednesdays will have a 10:35 AM start at SHS.
These will serve as a professional development time for staff, while students largely view them as a rare chance to sleep late on a weekday.
Months before his senior year began, Adam knew this day was coming, and he took advantage by scheduling his dentist's appointment. While working at a computer lab during first period, Adam said he looked forward to starting late every other Wednesday. "I'll probably take the chance to sleep in a little bit," he said.
That is what many SHS students did, including freshman Katie McNamara, who slept more than three hours later than usual. "I feel a lot better, because I feel more awake," said Katie, who often wakes up at 5 AM on a regular school day.
Senior Lindsey E. Hogan also had about three more hours of sleep than usual. "Sleeping in was really, really nice."
"I thought it was all right," said senior Eric Moeller, who slept in for about an hour and came to school at 10 AM.
A solid majority of students who were interviewed this week about the new late start welcomed the change, but it was not unanimous.
Senior Justin C. Morris said he would rather have the free time at the end of the school day.
In the middle of a school week, Justin found himself unable to sleep in.
"I wanted to, but I just couldn't fall back asleep," he said, and he arrived at school half an hour early.
Freshman Nate Costa also was unable to adjust in mid-week.
"It was terrible. I was in bed for an hour [this morning] trying to sleep," he said. "It's kind of hard for me in the middle of the week, when you're into the schedule."
SHS Principal Ellin S. Booras was not surprised by students' obsession with sleep, and the chance to catch up on it. Ms. Booras, along with school committee members and Superintendent Mary Ellen Johnson, considered research on optimal learning times for adolescents when evaluating the idea of late-start Wednesdays.
The science, Ms. Booras said, largely reflects common sense—sleep-deprived high schoolers are not in peak learning form at 7:45 AM. If only twice a month, SHS students will have the opportunity to fast-forward to a time of the morning when they are on their educational "A-games."
During several snowy days in recent winters, Sandwich schools had late starts instead of canceling the school day outright. Schools did not need to make up the days in June, and the delayed opening days ran fairly smoothly, Ms. Booras said.
"That's where we got confidence that this would work," she said.
Karen M. McGrath, a technology teacher at SHS, said that late starts are preferable to early releases for students involved in sports or extracurricular clubs. Previously, Ms. McGrath said, "they'd leave school and have to come back."
Some students came in early to use the computer labs, which were open at the usual time. Ms. Booras and Ms. McGrath expect that in upcoming months, there will be more students like Adam, who make premeditated and strategic use of the late starts. It is an opportunity for those in clubs like the yearbook team to use school facilities at their own speed, and students can form study groups, or simply take advantage of a time and place they can get together.
Behind the scenes is another incentive for late-start Wednesdays—school staff members are working on curriculum initiatives as part of the school accreditation process. "We're basically writing curriculum," Ms. McGrath said.
SHS is in the seventh year of a 10-year cycle for accreditation, and the school's teachers and staff members on the school's collaborative design team will use the time to work on curriculum initiatives and other school initiatives for the school's self-study. The official term for it is "professional learning community" time, and Ms. McGrath said she found it easier to focus on the self-study in the morning instead of the early afternoon.
"We were very productive this morning," said Mary Kelly, a technology teacher who is co-chairman of the collaborative design team's committee on core values, beliefs, and learning expectations. "We started at 7:30, and we had a big 'Box o' Joe.' "
The next late-start Wednesday at SHS will be on September 29.

I can't help it. After seeing how well these kittens write, I just had to ask.
"Dova, how did you little guys learn to write so well?"
Dova replied, "You know when most everyone's hanging out in the kitchen?"
"Yes," I replied. "But what does that have to do with writing?"
"Well," Dova said, "While Uno and Buttons are sneaking and laying on top of Chloe's (the bearded dragon) terrarium and everyone else including YOU, is hanging out in the kitchen, we kittens like to take turns perching on Human Mom's shoulder and watching while she's writing. We're busy learning how to write and other useful stuff.
"MOL," I answered. "You also know that you're still too little to make it to the top of the terrarium or the top of the refrigerator and you know that if any human food or canned cat food becomes available, the adult cats hanging around the kitchen will make it to the food and have it eaten before you kittens get a chance, unless Mom is willing to let you eat while she fends everyone else off."
"True," Dova admitted. "Still, we kittens spend most of our time learning. We're like little sponges when it comes to learning! You just watch and see how much more we manage to learn!"
Sometimes, you want something and then you find out you have that very thing you wanted, right there under your nose. You simply hadn't yet discovered this fact!
I am an elegant, quiet kitty. By nature, I tend to be slower moving and less boistrous than my "wild child" family members who race through the house and up and down cat trees at breakneck speeds, wrestle vigorously as if they were on a WWE stage, fly across rooms/over objects, and rebound off of walls like tennsi balls. But my middle-aged and older family members are too inactive, too boring. I've been wanting somebody to play with who was sort of active, but who liked to play more slowly and gently the way I like to play.
Today I discovered my ideal playmate. She's not new here. She's not new to me. I simply didn't know she was exactly the playmate I wanted, because we never played together until today. We got to talking and it turns out she felt the same way I do. She doesn't play much with everyone else either, because they are either too wildly energetic or else they are too inactive and boring. So we decided to play together!
After we had played awhile, we both agreed that at least at this time, we are ideal playmates for each other. We share a similar activity level and a liking for gentler play.
It's wonderful when you discover that something you really very much wanted, is already here for you, right under your own nose just waiting for you to notice it, appreciate it, and enjoy it!
Guess who my new playmate is?
Some of us kitties lead exciting dramatic lives like:
1. Lucy Liu whose progress in recovering from injuries after being hit by a car, has already exceeded expectations (although there's more she still has to try to achieve)
2. Uno, who devotes her intellect and effort to conjuring up all sorts of mischief
3. Velcro, Little Skittles, and others of us who get caught up in Uno's schemes
Those of us who are creatively mischievous "wild child" kitties lead exciting dramatic lives have a lot of diary stories to tell.
But those of us who are quiet, shy, reclusive, well behaved, and choose to stay out of the storm centers swirling around the instigators, troublemakers, and wild child kitties, have much less to write about. I guess you could say that the lives of us peaceful quiet well-behaved kitties is kind of boring.
What is it that makes bad behavior exciting and good behavior boring?

UPDATE 5/1/13 @ 12:25 a.m.
LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Two people, just passing by a neighborhood, jumped into action to fight a fire, taking the good samaritan approach to whole new level.
The fire happened Tuesday on Township Road 353 in Lawrence County, Ohio.
The real firefighters say they were impressed. While they don't recommend you go out in search of a fire to extinguish, what happened in South Point is proof that some people are willing to do whatever it takes.
Scott Wilson and Kim Gannon were driving down Buffalo Creek Road in South Point when they spotted the house fire. Their first action was to call 911. But they didn't stop there -- not even close.
"We approached the house, and heard a dog barking," said Scott. "We couldn't hear anyone else inside. So we grabbed this water hose and started squirting this one (neighboring house) down to keep it from catching fire."
Scott's friend, Kim, was very emotional in retelling their ordeal.
"He tried to fight the flames while I busted a window," said Kim. "There was an animal. I do know that. But I couldn't get him. I'm just grateful nobody's in the house."
For Scott and Kim, it was a real life hero experience they'll undoubtedly never forget, putting themselves at risk for homeowners they didn't even know. Their efforts did not go unnoticed.
John Music with the Fayette Township VFD was amazed at their bravery.
"They did the best they could and still continued to help us when we were on the inside and outside, until we could get enough people here to help with everything," said Music.
Despite the danger, Kim says she and Scott they didn't hesitate for a very important reason.
"Because there could have been a life in there, and I would never have forgiven myself," said Scott.
The house was a total loss. But, the two houses on either side were saved thanks in a large part to Scott and Kim.
The fire is at home in a small subdivision along Township Road 353.
Our crew on the scene says flames are shooting about 10 feet above the one-story home.
Firefighters have been able to keep the fire from spreading to neighboring homes.
A water relay has been set up to help with the fire fighting effort. A neighbor is even using a garden hose to help fight the fire.
There is no word if anyone was home when the fire started. We're told there are no injuries. The fire was reported about 11:15 Tuesday morning.

How do you bring beauty and happiness into your own life and the lives of others?
Beauty is very important to me, and I'm interested in people's perceptions of beauty and their methods for enlarging beauty - in their own lives and in the lives of others.
Topics: beauty happiness quality of life
Vera KosasihApr 10 2013: Hello . . .
The first time beauty came to my life when I could finally realize the beauty of nature. The beauty of nature is the most perfect and everlasting beauty.
And for the first happiness I have reached was when I sincerely gave my whole energy and strength to service others and gave my biggest effort in helping those who are in need. Through that, I believe I had succeeded bring happiness. Besides that, giving your smile may also bring happiness to others.
Giving a smile and a helping hand to others are the simplest way to bring happiness to my own life and the lives of others.

Apr 10 2013: Hello May P,
You look like a very beautiful dragonfly? :>)
"Known in folklore as a messenger from the natural world, a dragonfly in the garden is thought to put you in touch with nurturing spirits to create magical transformations".
Dragonflies bring beauty and happiness into our world:>)
I bring beauty and happiness into my own life by being fully present and engaged in each and every moment of the life adventure with the curiosity of a child and unconditional love in my heart. HOPEFULLY, this also brings beauty, joy, happiness and contentment to all those I interact with, and because I perceive EVERYTHING to be interconnected, I believe in the ripple effect....or the butterfly effect:>)
May PApr 11 2013: Hello Colleen,
Actually, a damselfly, very closely related, but they swoop over the water a little more like fairies than dragons. A symbol of nature's beauty, for me, in fact.
Being present in each moment can bring so much beauty and happiness. Your comment reminds me of a quote which hangs on my wall (one of many) to keep me inspired:
"A child wakes up over and over again and notices that she's living... She dreams along, in love with beauty."
-- Annie Dillard, "To Fashion a Text"
As spring spreads its wings in my part of the world, I've been thinking daily about the importance of noticing what's around you - simply being present enough to smell the earth and recognize the buds on the trees has done wonders to my soul in the past few days.
Certainly the smiles of others also bring a smile to my own face, but even deeper than that, when people notice things and point them out to me, it starts a chain of noticing. Perhaps we should amend the old adage. "Show a man flower, and he'll smile for a day. Teach a man to notice and he'll smile for a life time."
Thanks so much for the reply!
Apr 11 2013: Nice quote May P.....thanks:>)
I also notice as much as possible, everything around me all the time.....especially in the gardens! Right now, in my part of the world, spring is "springing" as well. Each day presents new surprises with things popping up here, there and everywhere. I have been watching gardens come alive again in the spring for 60+ years, and it still amazes me every year.....every day......every moment:>)
Thanks for your lovely reply as well:>)
Apr 10 2013: This is a question I have thought long and hard about, and for me, I bring happiness into my life by being of service to those around me in what ever way I can. I earn bonus happiness points if I can help people out anonymously, or without them even knowing I helped them.
I bring beauty into my life by being out in nature where there are no signs of civilization, especially up in the High Sierra Mountains near me (roughly 3-4 kilometers up).
I'm not sure how to bring beauty and happiness to the lives of others - I think maybe everyone has to do that for themselves.
Apr 10 2013: Thanks for your reply!
I particularly like your "bonus happiness points" for anonymous acts of kindness. Altruism is so much truer that way, and yet it feels so much better. How many kind things do we do only because we know someone is watching - to the point that the mere presence of a witness causes us to do a good deed?
And the beauty of nature! Certainly the most beautiful moments of my life have been while backpacking. That we find the most beauty "where there are no signs of civilization" certainly says interesting things about our society - that we must leave it in order to find beauty is slightly troubling. What about sources of beauty in urban areas?
Apr 10 2013: Hmm, that's very interesting. As I was musing about urban beauty, my mind was wandering through architecture, street musicians, public art, even pigeons, but I was focused very much on the physical - and you jumped me immediately to cultural!
You've made me consider other forms of human interaction that bring us so much closer and bring out our human beauty, so many of which are fostered in urban areas - perhaps as simple as a smile as you walk down the street, or helping out someone in need, or having a venue to gather with friends and their friends and meet new people.
Apr 11 2013: Have you seen the double rainbow video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI. The double rainbow explained video is also worth watching after.
Apr 11 2013: Thanks for passing this video along. A very interesting video and response - although his religion is not mine, we seem to share in spirituality. Certainly there are times where nature fills me with incontrollable joy and wonder. It's warming to have someone share that experience, since so often we keep it to ourselves almost out of shame for feeling such strong emotion.
ONUR BALApr 10 2013: Dreaming is an important part of human life. Especially if you could realize your dream, it would be the most valuable
thing that makes u happiest guy in the world and ur loved ones as well. One can bring beatuy in his life by helping and
sharing more which is an essantial aspect of being human. Sharing your ideas, experinces and knowledge can make a
great contribution to some people's life because sometime even a word could unexpectedly change something. ıf u are
lucky enough to see this difference that u lead to, that is the what happiness really means and beauty is going to
come with that.
Apr 11 2013: Although I've never had the privilege of viewing it myself, Michelangelo's statue of David apparently has this uniquely profound effect on people when they view it in person. So many people are so unexpectedly overcome with the beauty of this particular statue that they are almost stunned. This is such a common reaction that there is a name for being awestruck by the statue of David specifically - I just can't remember what it is called.
To be so overcome with emotion at the beauty of something is such a wonderful feeling.
Apr 11 2013: .My answer:

(2) Theoretically from:

(For details, see the 1st article, points 9. Sensing Beauty; 2 (2) Valid Happiness); at
Apr 11 2013: An interesting take - you're happiness norm particularly speaks to me in terms of listening to your body and soul; paying close attention to the fundamental part within that tells you what is good and what is bad, and allowing that emotion to come through. And certainly if we trust our instincts, our greatest joys come from parents, loved ones, and children. Thanks for your reply!

We've got the first big development out of Tuesday's vote in the 9th District congressional race:
U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland this afternoon endorsed former state House member Tom Graves in the contest to replace Nathan Deal. Graves took 35 percent of the vote in the special election. Former state senator Lee Hawkins of Gainesville won a place in the June 8 runoff with 23 percent of the vote.
Westmoreland's endorsement has import. The Coweta County congressman is essentially a recruiter for the Republican National Congressional Committee, scouring the country for candidates in this U.S. House race or that. This is essentially an endorsement by the RNCC.
There's a personal connection as well – not to mention a similar style. Said Westmoreland:
I recruited him to run for the State House in 2002 and he has a great track record of hard work in the Georgia General Assembly. Like me, Tom is passionate about job creation, cutting taxes and promoting free market and private enterprise. His unapologetic conservative philosophy will be a benefit to all Georgians in Washington and I look forward to serving with him once again."
Here's another thought: The 9th District congressional race can be characterized as a contest between a tea party candidate (Graves is tight with FreedomWorks, a major underwriter of the movement) and an establishment Republican (Hawkins has touted his business experience).
If one were a Republican and looking at a close contest for governor in November, one might not want to see a tea party champion defeated, and supporters demoralized, so early in the season.
Hawkins would no doubt disagree.

I am the director of the Catoosa County Tea Party in Ringgold, GA. We are one in a coalition of Tea Party groups in the 9th district. We would like to make sure that our stand on the candidate endorsement issue is stated clearly in the press. At present we do not endorse candidates including Tom Graves. The Atlanta Tea Party – who did endorse him – is not part of our coalition and as you know is not located in the 9th district. We have never received money or support from any organization outside our individual groups including Freedomworks. It is incorrect for Tom Graves to be charachterized as a "Tea Party Candidate"

Teresa is right, the Atlanta Tea Party has endorsed Tom Graves. Tom has been with the Tea Party movement since day one at that event in the rain down at the Capitol.
Lee on the other hand said publicly that he has had little contact with the Tea Party movement.
This difference is why Tom has been characterized as the Tea Party candidate by the media.
May 13th, 2010

Media = Political Paparazzi.
Watch at your own peril.
Here is a good rule of thumb about how seriously you should take a media outlet:
How much did they cover Tiger Woods?
The credibility of a news channel is directly proportional to how they mentioned anything having to do with him.
May 13th, 2010
2:51 pm
Mr Jefferson,
Tom can not be the "Tea Party" candidate by default because Hawkins does not embrace the movement. I do not know of one single TP group in the 9th district who has endorsed a candidate including Mr. Graves. The media characterized him that way because he published his endorsement by the Atlanta TP and they ran with it. I would have done the same thing if I were Tom. No blame there. We just want to make sure everyone knows that he is not the 9th District TP candidate.
May 13th, 2010
3:06 pm
And who defines what "the movement" is?
This is like my Mother in Law's church that has pressed her to ask my wife if her own church is truly "Bible Based"?
The Tea Party is founded off the principles of the Founding Fathers resisting Taxation without Representation.
I, for one, find ALL Tea Parties sacrilege and to be urinating on the memory of the sacrifices of our forefathers, but since we as a society seem to value the right of people to blindly attack government whilst using its services, we have to put up with their seditious and succession mentality.
But trying to define what the 'pure' or 'real' heart of a movement that is a little more than a year old and that was started based on the rantings of a Wall Street Banker is a bit like trying to argue how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
But of course you'll do it anyway.
And I'll continue to mock you for it.

Hello, I am the organizer of the Tea Party of Dalton, Georgia. We, currently, have 450 members with 300 in attendance at our meetings. We have been very careful to focus on promoting voter registration and precinct organization during the current election. We presented, for the public, a forum for the candidates of the 9th District Congressional Seat. We have tried to be encouraging to each candidate yet make it clear that we are present during the election process and will be during the term of the winner. The Tea Party voted, in the beginning, not to endorse a candidate to avoid division within the group. We have remained intact and strong. To date, the Daltn Tea Party has not endorsed Tom Graves as your article reflects.

I'm an old hippie and I don't support the Tea Party movement. Nor, do I support Tom Graves. Hopefully when the general election comes up, there will be a great viable candidate that can represent all of the 9th Dist. not just the Baggers.
May 13th, 2010
7:54 pm
An endorsement from Georgia's very own village idiot is hardly what I'd call "good" news. Hopefully, 9th District voters don't vote their hometown problem into becoming a national problem.
Even better is the fact that he's endorsed by some version of the "Tea Party" but you have to have the special Tea Party Translation Manual to know which one is grass roots and which one is astroturf manufactured in FreedomWorks headquarters.
Republicans . . . ya' gotta love it!

I am a Tea Party organizer. Our organization represents 350 members and growing–based in the 6th Cong. District. Our charter states that we are an organization targeted at Constitutional Education. We do not endorse candidates and do not let them use our organization as a platform to campaign.
Even though virtually every Tea Party organization I know has different objectives, but we all have one thing in common–The intents of our forefathers and the Constitution. At every Tea Party meeting we provide DIRECT QUOTES from founding fathers and from the Constitution. In some cases, we have interesting speakers that compare what is happening with the current Socialist/Marxist regime.
If you have a desire to keep the foundational formula that makes the USA the most free and prosperous nation on the planet–then you too side with the Tea Partiers.

I'm glad to hear that Teresa Tatum and Naomi Long, I know the Tea Party that I support isn't ignorant or stupid enough to back someone that is of the establishment (Lynn Westmoreland's handpicked STATUS QUO) candidate. Where can I sign up to join you? Also Atlanta Tea Party is so misleadingingly named considering Lynn Westmoreland resides and elected inCoweta/Fayette. He's from the Southside of town endorsing this Teap Party nightmare. HIs handpicked flunky. I'm working to get rid of Lynn Westmoreland in his District as well. He's voted NO on everything and haven't provided viable solutions on jobs. Maybe we can unite!..

May 14th, 2010

Is Teresa Tatum working for a campaign?
This is why she and the Tea Party crowd continue to attack Lee Hawkins. So what if he doesn't have anything to do with them. He's too busy working for the people he serves in Hall County.
May 14th, 2010
8:26 am
Frankly, an endorsement from Lynn Westmoreland is just enough to make me vote for Lee Hawkins in the runoff. "I recruited him to run for State House in 2002″. Thanks, but we have enough political cronyism in place. I'm interested in a candidate that will listen to the people, not the GOP.
They should send the bill for the special election to Nathan Deal. He left office early to avoid inquiries about his political related business activities. Mr. Deal has about as much chance being Governor as the easter bunny.

Wide receiver Marquess Wilson from Washington State was Chicago's final pick. He is talented, but dropped in the draft when he quit his college team halfway through the season. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
The Chicago Bears finished up their final round of this season's NFL Draft by selecting wide receiver Marquess Wilson from Washington State.
The former track star, who stand at 6-foot-4 inches tall, posseses an exceptional ability to jump high and run fast, making him a tough target when it comes to jump balls.
The lanky receiver, however, isn't the strongest built and his exit from Washington State was not so pleasant after he was suspended for violating team rules.
Wilson's potential as a receiver is undeniable, but whether he can mature physically and mentally will be key to his success with the Chicago Bears.
Marking the end to the team's draft picks, Wilson joins Kyle Long, Jon Bostic, Khaseem Greene, Jordan Mills and Cornelius Washington.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. Huge hit for our dinner party
Golden Potato-Leek Soup with Cheddar Toasts
Kellymoe25 Posted: 12/15/08
jessca84 Posted: 12/11/08
Eh. I expect potato soups to be creamy, and this wasn't. I think I'd rather make a nonlight version for special occasions.
teacooking Posted: 12/08/10
This was a good recipe but it needs something...maybe something more like a baked potato soup with crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese toppings? I didn't make the cheese toast, but did add cheddar cheese to the soup, as mentioned above - still needed something - maybe additional herbs?
ckfisch Posted: 03/23/09
Easy and delicious!!
eefinn Posted: 12/15/08
This recipe was pretty good! I added 1/2 a tablespoon more butter and doubled the salt after tasting it. Trader Joe's sells leeks already trimmed and rinsed. It definitely cuts down on time. Definitely worth a try!
dena9472 Posted: 12/08/10
Loved this recipe! The only thing I did differently was use fat free half & half instead of whipping cream. Turned out great! Definitely making again!
loriweyer Posted: 02/16/09
My whole family loved it! I made the recipe as instructed and the potatoe leek soup was fantastic. The toasted bread with the cheddar cheese went along great with the recipe. I also liked this recipe because it was perfect for a family of five.
Amy0324 Posted: 12/04/10
I love CL recipes, but this was TERRIBLE. It had absolutely NO favor. I will not waste my time on this again. To make it edible, I had to add so many extra ingredients (including garlic, S&P, bacon and cayenne). After all that, it still was not great. The cheese toasts are really good. My advice, make a worthy soup and these toasts for a good winter meal.
Kathsan111 Posted: 01/10/09
I first made this soup as part of our traditional 5 course family Thanksgiving this year. It was a hit! My son being a chef - told me the recipe "was not correct and should have been cream based". Well, he is now a beleiver! I've made this soup 4 times since and it is always well anticipated especially on snowy nights.
hautemaman Posted: 01/28/09
This soup is surprisingly good, and filling. I substituted skim milk for the cream and it was still delicious. I also added a dash of dried thyme instead of the fresh sprig of thyme. I will make this again!
KatyKaty Posted: 10/02/09
Excellent! Made a couple of changes...I used whole milk instead of whipping cream, used a box of broth 32 ounces instead of 28 ounces that it called for and skipped the water all together. Also I didn't have tyme so I used a couple of sprinkes of Penzey's Herbs De Provence. I would certainly make again!
goosesc Posted: 03/27/11
This soup was very tasty and was served as a course at a dinner party (great for the vegetarians at the party that wouldn't be eating the meat course.) It definitely needed the thyme though, because it could run a little bland. Easy to make and good though.
Im so Hungry Posted: 11/09/10
I love this recipe, though I made a few minor changes. I use chicken stock, for added flavor and a few dashes of ground red pepper. I also add a little goat cheese to individual bowls for those who want it. If you like goat cheese, I think it elevates the recipe to 4 stars! Very filling!
NanaPat Posted: 12/07/10
I used Better Than Bullion chicken base and olive oil in place of butter. I also added 2 links thinly sliced Aidell's Cajun style Andouille sausage and skipped the salt. We just about licked out the saucepan! I served it with a huge green salad.
tryin2cook Posted: 03/18/11
Not sure what i did incorrectly but to make it less watery and weak I had to add more cheddar cheese as well as hot pepper and pepper. After i did all this it wasn't too spicy.
NHDebbie Posted: 08/17/09
One of our favorite soups! I make it often in the fall & winter. It is indeed easy and creamy in texture.
KRECary Posted: 12/05/10
Easy and delicious. Great for a weeknight meal. Cheddar Toast is also delicious.
judysohl Posted: 10/16/10
Everybody loved this soup - from kids to Grandma! Fast, easy and delicious! I made a double batch and we'll eat it all week long.
Buenavista1 Posted: 12/12/10
Loved this soup - it was delicious. I used 2% milk instead of the cream and it came out fine. I sprinkled bacon on top of the servings for the men but it was great without it. It made a LOT of soup, but now I have lunch all week! The cheese toasts were good too.
HollyChristine Posted: 02/16/10
Just not my favorite. Was a lot like wet mashed potatoes but needed a bit more flavor. The cheddar toasts were great but the soup needed more flavor in my opinion.
JenSugarLandTX Posted: 01/12/11
Yum! Definitely comfort food. Good recipe as-is if you're feeding vegetarians but I plan to use chicken broth in place of the vegetable broth next time for a little more flavor. I'd also add a sprinkle of flour to the butter at the beginning to thicken it just a little. The cheese toast made the soup. I'd consider homemade croutons in place of the toast next time.
AngieBruce Posted: 12/07/10
This is a delicious, warm, and filling meal. My husband loved it, and he's fairly hard to please. Neither of us are huge onion fans, but the leeks blended into the soup nicely and provided good flavor and texture. For our family, the cheddar toasts were a bit too crunchy, so I think we'll just melt cheese onto the baguette without actually toasting it next time. Other than that, we loved it and will definitely be adding this into our winter repertoire!
scottintulsa Posted: 12/08/10
Don't know what happened with this one. I only make 4-5 star recipes but this one was bland and tasteless. Didn't even save the leftovers.
nellyb Posted: 03/19/11
Average review because I was disappointed that this soup is more potato-y than leek-y. My expectations were probably wrong, but if you're looking for more leek than potato, please note that as it's written, this recipe isn't it. I adjusted by caramelizing an onion, deglazing the pan with some vermouth, adding one chicken bouillon cube, then used an immersion blender to puree the entire batch. End result was delicious. The potatoes made it very creamy and rich, and the added onion, vermouth and bouillon gave it some extra life.
audreysings Posted: 06/03/11
I like it, super easy
ELCHINGLISH Posted: 02/16/12
Most delicious. We used all of the leeks (dark green parts, too) and added rutabaga. This soup would be great without the additions - we were just looking to use up what we had on hand. Carrots and/or celery would be nice additions if you had some you needed to use up. The soup wasn't super thick, but that's what I was looking for and I loved the consistency. It could easily be thickened if you prefer a thicker tomato soup.
frenchfrydtater Posted: 02/11/14
I don't know where 3 leeks yield 3 cups of sliced leeks but not in my world. You're only supposed to use the white part, right? Otherwise I like this recipe. It's one of my staples.

text: When you guys are bulking do you try to balance out your fats(omega 3 6 9)? Ive been trying to find a good article explaining about fats. The more i read the more confused i seem to get, can someone help me clear this up. From what ive read i you need to balance 3 and 6 in a 3 to 1 ratio but i couldnt find out y you do this. and does your percentage of omega 9 matter. also is it correct that omega 9 is monos and omega 3 and 6 is made up of polys?
