DuQuoin, Illinois... July 4, 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track race.
We anticipated this day with a mixture of dread and excitement.
On the one hand, we were disappointed to miss the annual Barbara Fritchie Classic in Frederick, Maryland (also held on the 4th)... plus, Chew had seen too many friends perish on this track in the past. Despite the fact that we usually take pictures of tracks that no longer run, to share, he had never been able to bring himself to step near the beautiful cushion mile with the oddly-shaped pond in the infield.
On the other hand, I had heard the stories about the incredible racing on this track, and how big a role it plays in the sport's history. One glance at the track told me it could be a fan's dream come true. I wanted to see it for myself.
We were not disappointed. As you can see by our photos, we were treated to a full day of close racing (and lunch, courtesy of Carver's Barbecue)! While the GNC1 main was among one of the closest finishes I have ever witnessed, the GNC2 main grabbed my heart even tighter. The three young men on THAT podium had two big factors, in common. #1. We had watched each of them come up through the ranks, and followed them since they were youngsters, and #2. Each of the three had endured a serious injury during 2014, that left fans praying for their recoveries. Well, they sure recovered, all right... and what a show they put on!
DuQuoin, Illinois... July 5, 2015
This was our "day of rest," so to speak...but "rest" is a misleading word!
We spent a good part of the day trying to figure out what to do about internet capability. We had put airtime on a broadband card, that we were told was received at the track... only to find out that the woman in the office had been mistaken. Our provider has no coverage, there. She DID tell us about another provider, who could sell us coverage by the day or week, but their offices were closed for the weekend.
As morning melted into afternoon, we saw many of the riders who would be competing in the week's AMA Dirt Track Grand Championships heading in to register.
To our delighted surprise, Chris Carr, Johnny Lewis, Brad Baker, Jared Mees, and Davey Durelle were ALSO on hand.
These guys offered the riders tips and advice on everything from riding technique to bike set up. It was amazing to see how much information these superstars poured out... and the amateurs soaked it up like a sponge!
I shot a few videos with Carr, Baker, Lewis, and Mees. As the sun began to slip towards the horizon, we all headed out onto the track for a "Mile Walk."
Here, the week's competitors were treated to a full tutorial on reading the dirt, drafting, focus, and lines. As a non-racing bystander, I came away with a WEALTH of new knowledge. I could tell by the facial expressions of the amateurs in attendance that the lesson had been equally as effective for them... if not more so!
DuQuoin, IL... July 6, 2015 AMA DTGC Mile
The lessons learned yesterday were apparent, today, as the riders treated us to a full day of intense racing action.
The track was incredible. The AMA definitely impressed us by providing the riders with one of the most incredibly well-prepared mile surfaces I have ever witnessed.
The same stars of the sport who were on hand yesterday returned today... and were joined by many others. Jarod Vanderkooi, Jeffrey Carver, Tyler Butts, Ben Evans, and many others were there to lend a hand.
Safety was obviously a huge concern. Before the races, a "Safety Check" was done. Crew members checked the air fence, scouted the track for any concerning spots, tested the visibility of all flags and lights, and tested the ambulance lights and radios.
In addition to the fantastic racing (results of which can be found, here), we had a wildlife show running in the infield. Four deer stood near turn two, watching the full day's race events as they grazed upon the grass within the guardrail's boundaries. A flock of Canada Geese (and one lone white goose) swam at one end of the pond, while a mother duck taught her flock of ducklings to swim on the other end. As evening came, the catfish began to feed, and frogs began to call from the pond's edges. A woodpecker landed on a pole near Chew, studying him as he studied the bikes on the track.
You can find our pictures, here.
DuQuoin, IL... July 7, 2015 AMA DTGC ST
Competitors woke up to a heavy rainfall, which soaked the half mile facility. Because of the rainfall, and a gloomy forecast, AMA officials decided to move the action indoors, and ran a short track program, instead.
We had some challenges of our own, to contend with. We still had no internet, to send back photos and results, but we were making morning trips to a fast food place to use the WiFi over our morning coffee. We had also discovered that our tent converts into a wading pool, in bad weather. Not to be discouraged, we relocated our camp for the week... into a quonset hut that is used to store fairground maintenance equipment.
What can we say? We love this sport.
DuQuoin, IL... July 8, 2015 AMA DTGC Youth ST
Despite the intense competition on the track, the young riders impressed the spectators with the outstanding sportsmanship that flat trackers tend to be noted for.
While our internet is still unobtainable, Chuck Magnusson and Byron Ward were generous enough to offer the use of their internet jetpacks, for the remainder of the week. These guys ROCK, and saved the day for one frustrated media gal!
DuQuoin, IL... July 9, 2015 AMA DTGC TT1
Once again, the skies opened up over the Midwestern cornfields and dumped a good supply of water over the outdoor racing facilities of the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. Thank goodness for the indoor building and the foresight of the AMA crew, a great day of TT racing was carried out, as planned... inside, but as planned.
The riders put their skills to the test on the raised hill and right-hand turn of the freshly designed course. After two rounds of practice, they were prepared to do battle in their heats.
Racing was a premium in most classes, as the righthand turnbrought the riders to close and competitive racing, and they returned to the more-familiar lefthand turns as they raced towards the finish line and checkered flag.
Full results can be found on this page, and photos can be viewed here.
The nineteen mains ran, and riders were awarded their plaques and plates after the exciting TT Steeple Chase racing.
DuQuoin, IL... July 10, 2015 AMA DTGC TT2 and Awards
The final round of the AMA DTGC brought the riders indoors once again, to a redesigned TT course. While the Thursday course tested the young riders' skills with an elevated jump and firmly packed surface dirt, Friday's course featured a stronger righthand turn and looser soil. Seven-time GNC Champion and AMA Hall of Famer, Chris Carr, explained that the idea behind the alterations was to teach the young riders to adapt in changing situations on the track.
Competition was strong and the racing was close, in most cases, as a spectator might expect in a line up of the nation's
strongest young riders. Full results can be found, here.
Davey Durelle was on hand to award tires to the overall Champions in select classes, and Johnny Lewis awarded contingency prizes towards his 10 Training "boot camp."
Indianapolis, Indiana... AMA Pro Flat Track
We headed straight out from DuQuoin to Indiana, where we were rewarded with yet another great day of photo-finish racing.
To everyone's surprise and relief, the weather decided to cooperate, and the full program was able to be run.
One heartstopping moment occurred when Shawn Baer (who was running better and faster than I ever remember seeing him do, before) had a horrifying crash that split his bike into pieces like an explosion. I can't express the relief we felt, hearing that Shawn was doing just fine. However, since he does finance his own expenses and bikes, it sounds like it's going to be a little while before we see him back on the track.
You can see our photos from the day, here.

Guidelines for HCG Plan Phase 3 Diet
For those who are already familiar with the HCG diet, they knew that it is subdivided in four phases. However, expert fitness coaches told that among all the phases, the third of this diet plan is very crucial because it requires daily weigh in.
At the same time, dieters are also required to remove sugar and starches in your diet by strictly following the 2 pound limit of last injection weight. You may find it interesting to know that this phase is a bit confusing for some dieters because they don't know when to proceed. Also one of the main concerns is knowing if they can stay in phase 2 diet until their weight loss were targeted
Colin F. Watson an internationally-acclaimed fitness guru and motivational speaker answered all these questions in an online forum He said that, once your body has already burned its abnormal fat reserves, the second phase of HCG diet becomes intolerable. Meaning to say, the diet hormone stops working.
If this already takes place, you can now proceed to phase 2 of the HCG diet plan. On the other hand, it is also substantial to take note that you can already proceed to the third phase after 3 weeks or 21 successful days in phase 2 diet.
What are the Recommended Food For HCG Diet Phase 3?
If you want to succeed in your weight loss goal , this is one of the HCG diet tips that you have to bear in mind, "discipline" because this diet restricts you from indulging on fatty foods that you crave for. The only food allowed in moderation are dairy, nuts, fruits, vegetables and all types of meat.
It is also important to take note that in this stage you hypothalamus resets so that your body will maintain its weight. While there are many urges and food temptation along the way, its very important to focus so that you will not destroy your limited calorie count.
Protein is a good source of nutrient when you're taking the HCG diet protocol because it quickly disposes unwanted fats in your body. With large amount of protein, you are capable of burning whatever fats that were stored the night before so that in the next day, weight maintenance is promoted.
If you are in the middle of figuring out how to use different stages of HCG diet plans to your advantage, right mindset and preparation will highly contribute to your success.
If you're still confused on what HCG diet products suit your needs, don't hesitate to inquire to a trusted online HCG provider for a non-obligatory consultation.

The AirTrain Jazz Festival w/ Kells Nollenberger's Mean Greens
December 6, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pmFree
The AirTrain Jazz Festival series continues this week with Kells Nollenberger's Mean Greens on the AirTrain Jamaica stage. Mean Greens is a current project of Brooklyn bassist Kells Nollenberger. The music takes its major inspiration from the groove based songwriting of the late great saxophonist Eddie Harris. The combination of simple but deep grooves with the advanced harmony and explosive soloing is what made the music of Eddie Harris so captivating. Mean Greens attempts to not just recreate this music but propel it forward with fresh renditions and new original music that tips its hat to the great legends of the art form. Join us as we pay tribute to Jamaica's rich jazz history by presenting some of the New York City metropolitan area's best jazz musicians playing live.
The AirTrain Jazz Festival is a co-production of A Better Jamaica and the Sutphin Boulevard Business Improvement District with the marketing support of the Jamaica Arts Council. The festival is hosted by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The effort is funded by New York Council Members Adrienne Adams, Rory Lancman and I. Daneek Miller, the Queens Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

This "Data Breach Response – How To" article is part of our larger series by Heather Noonan.
So you want to tell your patients not to panic, everything will be fine, but how do you say that when you need to tell them that your hospital medical records system was hacked by an international hacking ring or that the U.S. Government and Secret Service are involved? Or you are a small town clinic, Mom and Pop dentistry, and your reputation is all you have. Word of mouth is very important at this point. You need to make sure that every patient is considered and what may concern you, may not concern them and vice versa.
Take the analogy of telling your children not to speak to strangers. You need to instill in them some amount of caution and concern, but not scare them so much that they won't go outside and play. Same thing when communicating with your patients, and you should know them best.
Think about the true facts of the healthcare data breach when addressing the fears of your patients. What really happened, does it make sense that it happened, were you a victim of this incident too? Then address how it is being taken care of and the steps you are taking. Reiterate that their information and care is of your upmost importance, describe in detail the steps you have taken and how this will not happen again. Give them good, adequate resources, explain the resources, provide them with protection or recovery services, provide them something to say "I'm sorry and this is how I would like to make it right".
I know you will hear me say this a million times, but put yourself in their shoes. You just received this random letter – a healthcare data breach notification letter- Is it a bill? What is this thing and all these words? What in the world is a fraud alert? Will you call in, what questions will you have and will you even care?
I have found over the years that the more honest, humble and forthright you can be, the more positive your outcome is going to be. Sounds true in every form of life, doesn't it?

Bonner General Health officials are pursuing charges against the hospital's former chief financial officer, Norilina Harvel, who is accused of embezzling more than $200,000 from the nonprofit.
An employee of the hospital for 15 years and its CFO for 10 years, Harvel allegedly used a bank account set up fraudulently in the hospital's name to use for personal expenses and unauthorized credit card transactions. Additional funds were allegedly stolen from the books using a multi-year lease for hospital equipment that didn't exist. The Bonner County Prosecutor's Office has issued a warrant for her arrest, according to prosecutor Louis Marshall.
Since the missing funds were discovered, it has had far-reaching impacts on both hospital officials, shaken by the betrayal, and the community, which spread several rumors about the incident. Most of the rumors are untrue, according to Bonner General Health CEO Sheryl Rickard. The crime didn't involve public funds of any kind, and it had nothing to do with the construction of the new building.
What is true is over several years, Harvel allegedly embezzled $220,000 through various financial schemes. The largest of the fraudulent financial items—around $86,000—was funneled through a lease for sterilizing equipment the hospital never acquired. It was only when a lease bill landed on Rickard's desk that administrators became suspicious.
"If it wasn't for that lease, it might have taken us longer to discover this," Rickard said.
Once the extent of the theft was discovered, BGH board chair Ford Elsaesser reached out to the regional FBI office, which recommended he work with local authorities. Officials also enacted a forensic audit of hospital finances, which, while still incomplete, revealed the history of malfeasance. The prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant Wednesday for the felony offense.
Fortunately, the hospital has managed to mitigate some damage through insurance for some of the lost funds. Between $107,000 in claims already processed and some outstanding claims, they hope to secure perhaps half of what was lost.
Hospital officials are still investigating just how Harvel managed to set up a new BGH account at Bank of America, which is not the hospital's normal banking outlet, to cover her tracks. Since business accounts are usually much more complex to set up and require multiple authorizations, it's likely that Harvel used a combination of community recognition and forged signatures to set it up.
"As a result of this situation, we are expanding our external audit parameters as well as reviewing and honing policies and procedures to ensure this cannot ever happen again," Elsaesser said in a press release. "The BGH board of directors is committed to supporting law enforcement in the prosecution of Harvel and look forward to justice being served."
The was no acrimony when Harvel left her position last June after securing another job. Because of the friendly working relationship she had with hospital officials, the news of missing funds came as a shock. There is still no word about Harvel's motives, although Rickard has found nothing like a sick family member that might arouse public sympathy, especially considering her six-figure BGH salary.
"That's what's been really difficult," she said. "I was hoping to find that, and then at least you could understand, but there was none of that at all."
In an ironic twist, Harvel actually improved the hospital's finances over her time as CFO, even as she allegedly stole money from the institution.
"She got a lot of credit from the board [because of that]," Rickard said.
While the theft shouldn't impact BGH operations too significantly—after all, the hospital takes in $66 million in gross revenue—hospital officials find the blow to their trust hard to take. All they can do is anticipate Harvel's imminent arrest. Authorities are now on the hunt for Harvel, who is believed to be in South Utah.
Cases of local embezzlement have been on the uptick lately. In 2012, Susan Hopkins was sentenced to five years in a state prison plus reimbursement payments for embezzling $246,561 from Coldwater Creek. And this year, former Athol clerk Sally Hansen was sentenced to four years in federal prison for embezzling $417,879 from the city. Because of these precedents, Elsaesser hopes authorities will throw the book at Harvel.
"It seems to me the sentences are becoming more serious," he said.

"Walking on water" had been quite natural for the people of Szeged until the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is almost unbelievable that on the bank of the River Tisza there were several shipbuilding factories, which built not only river boats, but also ships travelling the seas in large numbers. The highly skilled, experienced shipwrights were appreciated craftsmen of Felsőváros, who used the wood that floated down from Transylvania into grain stores, cello-nosed boats, fishing boats and water-wheeled ship mills. Nowadays the importance of shipping and water life has declined considerably, but it is welcoming to know that taking part in shorter or longer boat trips we can learn a lot about the characteristics of the Tisza and the water world. On the sightseeing tour we can get a unique view of Szeged, as well as the mouth of the Maros.

About the EnRICH Research Group and Network
Dr. Martin Offringa's program of research is captured under the Enhancing Research Impact in Child Health (EnRICH) program.
Clinical research in children poses particular methodological, ethical and practical challenges. Recently the paucity of safety and efficacy data informing the rational use of medicines has been recognized with new regulations in the USA and in Europe which mandate proper clinical evaluations in children before a new drug can be labelled and licensed for adults To inform policy decisions researchers need to ensure their research is reliable and relevant. And so, while more research is needed, we need to embrace new conceptual and methodological advances in the design, conduct and reporting of child health research. Current challenges include age specific dosages, age specific formulations and administration, adequate sample sizes, relevant and justified comparators, qualified, relevant and standardized outcomes, contained risk of bias, short term and long term participants' safety, clear roles of data monitoring committees, harmonized ethics review of research protocols, appropriate engagement of children and families from design to implementation of research.
In 2020, health research is questioned by the public, asking whether it really advances health and improves health outcomes, whether it is not wasted by design, conduct and reporting, and in fact does not inform policy decisions. New initiatives in partnership with patients, researchers, policymakers and other key stakeholders like the REWARD Alliance Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford METRICS aim to strengthening the research enterprise and improve the quality and impact of scientific studies in biomedicine and beyond.
The work of the EnRICH Research Group and Network aims to enhance child health through the discovery of innovative methods that will transform the way we design, conduct, and report child health clinical research. In order to provide global solutions to methodological problems in paediatrics, EnRICH is engaged in a number of local and international initiatives including:
- Instrument for reporting of Planned Endpoints in CTs (InsPECT 2019)
- SPOR Innovative Pediatric Clinical Trials Project (IPCT)
- Toronto Outcomes Research in Child Health (TORCH 2020) and the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Initiative (COMET)
- Young Persons Advisory Group Start-up Tool (YPAG)
- Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis – Reporting for Children (PRISMA-PC 2020)
- Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials –Children (CONSORT-C 2020)
- Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials – Children (SPIRIT-C 2020)
- Standards for Research in Child Health (StaR Child Health 2020)
In addition to these initiatives the EnRICH program offers training opportunities in the form of a course on Innovative Trial Design and postdoctoral fellowships in clinical research methodology.
In 2020 the research agenda for EnRICH focuses on two critical paediatric research areas: (1) develop and apply innovative methods needed to select, measure and report valid, discriminative, and feasible outcomes in child health research, and (2) develop and apply innovative methods and tools to inform the design of (adaptive) clinical efficacy studies and comparative effectiveness trials.

Note: This 'I Remind Chart' was written last September 4, 2012. Our chart was conceptualized to help Firstborn cope with his forgetfulness or carelessness. But more than that, it helped me remind myself more of my own flaws.
I was disappointed in firstborn. But I disappointed myself more.
Firstborn forgot things in school. And yesterday was no exception. He failed to remember his bag containing his swimming gear, his rubber shoes included.
I had a heart-to-heart talk with him once. I even scolded him before. And there was a time I also asked him to squat for a few minutes hoping he would learn from his mistakes.
But no to avail.
Then I realized that I disappointed him as well. His mother was never helpful nor supportive. I antagonized him.
So we had this chart– his "I remind myself" chart.

In September 2007, the management of the Swan Walk shopping centre in Horsham had an "environmental and safety review", and decided that the bronze sculpture of three swans landing on water would have to go. Passing by the white, padlocked, tomb-like enclosure that temporarily adorned the centre of Swan Walk, I thought I heard this plaintive call from within:
We don't know why we're going;
We don't know when, or where.
We're innocent of any crime –
It all seems so unfair.
We pose no risk to shoppers,
In fact we give much pleasure;
And yet the management insist,
"It's a Health and Safety measure".
Have we been such a menace
Since first we landed here?
How come that all you Horsham folk
Survived for many a year?
We reckon there's a reason
That we've been made to go:
We take up useful retail space,
And don't make any dough.
Eventually, they were allowed back, but there was a problem – see Crash landing.

The double exposure idea has been around for a long time, I remember doing it accidentally with film cameras when I forgot to wind it forward…the outcome could be great or disastrous! These days, with digital its much easier to judge the outcome as I can look at the results instantly and decide whether to take another one or not. What I love about double exposure is creating that magic which always has that element of surprise to it. You can never quite predict the outcome. And whilst it is magical and much more creative way for me as a photographer to create something unique, it's also much more fun for the client!
With multiple exposure photography you can choose your favourite subjects and items, people, family, pets, friends etc etc etc. to overlay people's portraits or to include those into the final collage. You may want to include your lost family member or a pet or someone who lives abroad and cannot attend an event. You can now add them seamlessly as though they were there in the first place! Sounds good? If so, maybe you have a bunch of photos in your draw somewhere waiting to be turned into something like this? Why not let me have a look and suggest some options for you?
Tapas night
Annual foodie get-together organised by Del.
Below is a collage from a number of images I took at the event. Interestingly I had this final result already in my head before I made a start in Photoshop. The light can often let you down at the events, hence I decided to turn all the images into B&W. Most of them were taken at ISO 10000 (to those of you who don't understand what this means, it's very high and wouldn't be recommended anywhere)…nevertheless, you need to get the best out of every situation, right? So I decided to go for the more unconventional images, using the elements from the venue to overlay the people's portraits. The wine glassed, shot glasses, brick from the bar wall, texture of the light in the ceiling, spirits bottles and other people, all were used to create something a bit different with the double-exposure technique. In the final version I chose images to best describe the evening – food, being what brought people together that night, has the center stage being the only image in colour in this collage.
So, if you have an event coming up and you'd like something like this as well, get in contact…
And here's the proud owner of the huge artwork:
And here are a few separate double exposure images used in the above collage:
Lynny family
The following images of each person were taken separately and then combined into one image once I got home. I used the brick background image to overlay the portraits, as that's what the client asked for. I would also like to mention that this shoot took place outside at client's location in January, hence we were very dependent on the weather…which being winter in the UK, of course meant it wasn't great! But hey, I love a challenge so that's not a problem! 🙂 At least it wasn't raining and too cold, so the participants weren't frozen to the bone!
Here's Chris as a 'brickhead', hope you like it! 🙂
Memory canvas
Here's something I did a few years ago for my mother as a Birthday present. All the photos here are of my family: mother, father, brother, grandparents and a couple of close relatives we used to play with as kids…so all very fond memories and people…well, I can't really remember any of it, as I was far too young being a mere new born in the images! All the images came as film slides/transparencies, so those were all scanned in and then turned into digital files, retouched and made into a collage in Photoshop, then printed onto 24″x32″ canvas.
Person with favorite place
And here's something a bit different, showing you can overlay your favourite places, items etc. into a collage of images to make it personal just for you:
I will update you with the price list and more details very soon… but I can tell you I won't be charging for the shoot, just the image files and prints you order afterwards…so do get in touch, lets have fun! I'd love to hear from you!

GlossyEyes Settings (Tutorial) by SloshWerks on DeviantArt. Basic3dtraining. The Biggest DAZ Studio Iray Secret To Fabulous Lighting (Yours To Copy Now) There's a lot positive to be said about the new DAZ Studio 4.8 (Public Beta), and the new integration with Nvidia's magnificent Iray render engine.
But let me be perfectly honest with you; Forget most you know about lighting using 3Delight, DAZ Studio's native render engine. See, Iray differs in a very critical aspect. It's for real. All your lights WILL bounce and scatter just like they do in real life. For a second, forget about the built in environment and the new photometric lights. This option will only use scene lights when you render and you don't need to worry about anything else. Get back to Editor Sub Tab in Surfaces Tab, Set Color Temperature to 6500 K (which makes it white when White Point is set to 1,1,1 in the Environment Tab), and if needed adjust the Emission Color to suit your scene or taste. The best advice I can give you is "less is more". Keep lighting! – Val Cameron.
Daz Studio Iray Tutorial for Beginners. I am starting to play around more seriously with the Iray renderer in Daz Studio.
The great thing about Iray, is that we can create realistic looking renders without having to muck around too much with lighting. Another really big advantage of Iray, is that we can get pretty good render results in a fairly short amount of time, if we have a good nVidia graphics card. In this tutorial, I will describe how I started out with Daz Studio Iray, and how I created a simple realistic render from start to finish. This tutorial is intended for Iray beginners who are already familiar with the standard Daz Studio Interface. If you are only starting to use Daz Studio, then check out this Daz Studio for Beginners tutorial. First Iray image I created with an image based light (IBL). 1. I create the scene in the same way as I would in regular Daz Studio. In this tutorial, I make a very simple scene with a female figure and a dragon tattoo on her back. sIBL Archive. Installation Each thumbnail links directly to an archived sIBL-set.
Watch out, these are big downloads. Click to download, then expand the zip achive as a folder and place the folder in your sIBL-Collection. Starter's sIBL-Collection Including 4 sets: apartment, empty room, backlot, office-eden Update Pack Already collected the sets as they came out monthly?

Remember: Do what you want with them, but always mention where you got them from... Trying Out Nvidia's Iray Render Engine in DAZ Studio 4.8. There has been a lot of excitement about the beta release of DAZ Studio 4.8 Iradium, which features Nvidia's Iray render engine.
There's been a fair amount of confusion too as we all begin getting to grips with this. Maybe you are one of the people already turning out impressive renders, but have no fear if not, there are many more of us still finding our way. I bet there are a good many too who have decided to wait and see. Being a vendor now as well as a customer, I was conscious that every day I put off exploring Iray, I was slipping behind on something that I'd have to learn sooner or later. So DS 4.8 was duly downloaded and installed, and the handy tutorial from Sickleyield's DeviantArt journal got me started with the appropriate render settings. The first hurdle, at least for me, was getting my head round the different ways of lighting an Iray scene. You do this in Render Settings > Environment, scrolling down to SS Latitude, SS Longitude, SS Day, and SS time.
Related Posts: Iray - Dome, Sun, Scene - Help needed - DAZ Forums. Iray renders completely BLACK - 4.8 Beta - DAZ Forums. Hi All, Running into a peculiar problem with IRay rendering in the 4.8 BETA.
I loaded the scene from Stonemason's Winter Kingdom: Castle Ruins. ( Made no changes to anything in the scene. Went to the Render tab and selected NVidia IRay as the Engine. Click on the "Default" button to make sure nothing I have done before, (goofing around with other renders), would carry over. Click on "Render". I see message that Iray is compiling 0/134 shaders, (which I didn't change or alter). Why 0/134? See "Rendering image" "Rendering... " IRay Iteration: 1 IRay Iteration: 2 IRay Iteration: 3 ... Render completes and I have a completely BLACK render image window. So.... What might I be doing wrong? BTW Renders in Basic OpenGL, Intermediate OpenGL, 3Delight and LuxRender, (via Luxus) all render just fine.

musiccontracts101.com is a website that sells a wide range of music software and contracts. The design of the website is simple and straight forward but the author seems too desperate to sell his software.
Form and Function
I was greeted with a floating window that asks me to sign up for a newsletter upon first entry to the site. Should I reveal my true email address? I believe it is a "no" for most people because of the fear of receiving spam mails. The author probably knows that most people block popup windows, case so he uses a floating "div" to get around the problem. I strongly advice people not to use this technique because it is not a good practice and does not reflect good on the integrity of the company or person running the website.
I navigated the site abit and the thing that kept catching my attention was the right column – the testimonials. The testimonials appear on almost all the pages, viagra prompting the user to click on the flash "play" button. I have to agree that the flash voice testimonials are cool but they have been over-used.
The source code reveals the professionalism of a website. A quick "view source" will tell you that the author of musiccontracts101.com tries to optimize the site for search engines but has again, over-done it. There are also simple mistakes in the title and meta tags like the use of html in the title. If I were to be the search engine, I would love to penalize this site for keyword spamming.
I would love to do a more thorough review but was put off but the recurring popups (Sorry). The author is too desperate to sell his stuff. I would love to see more information on the music software and probably improvements on the overall layout, color and design. Though there are alot of testimonials, I am not sure if I believe in any of them.

Six candidates have been interviewed for the Baltimore Ravens vacant head coach position. One of the candidates, Dallas Cowboys' assistant HC and offensive line coach Tony Sparano, has just accepted an offer to become the Miami Dolphins HC. Now all eyes in both Baltimore and Dallas turn toward Jason Garrett who is the current offensive coordinator of the Cowboys. He has been offered the HC position of the Ravens but has not yet accepted it. In the end, I think that he will decide to stay in Dallas, thereby backfilling Sparano as the assistant HC and OC, a move that would qualify as a promotion with an increase in salary comparable to the Ravens HC offer. In addition, there will probably be an understanding between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Garrett that he will be the next HC of the team at some future date.
So where would that leave the Ravens HC search? Presumably, that leaves four remaining candidates in the selection pool–namely, Jim Caldwell who is rumored to become the next Indianapolis Colts' HC if Tony Dungy retires as expected next week; former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan who appears to be the leading candidate for the Atlanta Falcons HC job; NY Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer; and Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach John Harbaugh.
However, don't be surprised if the Ravens selecting officials introduce an experienced HC in the interview mix. The most established coach that remains on the Ravens rader is former San Diego Chargers' HC Marty Schottenheimer, father of Brian, who seems to be interested in the position but understandably does not want to appear in competition against his son for the HC job.
Once that scenario is resolved, I believe Marty will become the Ravens third HC in their franchise history for two reasons. First, given the age and experience on the Ravens roster, a veteran coach of Marty's stature would have the respect of the team in turning the team's fortunes around within a years' timeframe. And second, this selection by team officials comports with the age old practice of HC jobs that you follow a players' coach with a disciplinarian as HC or vice versa. Since the immediate past Ravens HC Brian Billick was viewed as running Camp Med, Martyball will be a necessary change of pace for the underachieving Ravens.

Can a Pennsylvania township charge a license fee for billboards?
When townships issue licenses for building, development, and sign-posting activities, they are permitted by Pennsylvania law to charge license fees. Such license fees are considered to be compensation to the township for costs expended in the regulation of the activity in question. Taxes, by contrast, produce much higher revenue than what is expended by the governmental authority in supervising the taxing program.
A Pennsylvania billboard operator recently objected to a Pennsylvania township's annual billboard license fee, claiming that the fee collected for inspecting and regulating the billboards in the township was in excess of the actual costs.
After the zoning hearing board and the county court upheld the license fee, the billboard owner appealed to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. The court first observed that it must generally defer to the findings of fact issued by a zoning hearing board. However, the court noted that the board's acceptance of the township's cost estimates was not supported by fact. Those cost estimates included a charge for the use of the township building offices by employees. The court observed that the cost of running the building was inevitable and was not tied to the inspection of billboards. Further, the court noted that while the employees mentioned logs kept by the township inspectors, the logs were not received or reviewed by the board. Finally, the court stated that where a governmental entity charges substantially more than what the private sector would for a service, the government's charge is unreasonable.
If you are paying a license fee to a township, you are entitled to be billed for no more than the township's actual cost of regulating the licensed activity. If you think you are overpaying, consider bringing an action before the appropriate township hearing body.
If you are responsible for the establishment of licensing fees for your township, be aware that you may be held to the cost standards established in the private sector, and that, in any event, you can be called upon to justify the township's costs and expenses.

Supreme Court extended the age limit of NEET undergraduate exam and also extended the application date by 1 week. As per the new fixing, students less than 25 years of age group can apply for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The examination is going to be conducted for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) every year.
SC Extends NEET Age Limit, Last Date To Apply
The Supreme Court has expanded the last date for submitting filled NEET application forms by seven days to empower hopefuls who did not qualify under the prior age criteria to apply. The last date for submitting NEET Application forms was tomorrow. While the Supreme Court extended the NEET application date to 7th December.
The Central Board of Secondary Education, or CBSE, had advised the upper age limit of 25 and 30 years for general and reserved classes individually to apply for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET)- UG, a pre-qualification for seeking after MBBS course.
The Supreme Court's decisions come in the matter of Medical Council of India's (MCI) choice to keep an upper age limit for NEET for admission to medical universities.
The court had before consented to inspect the validity of a change to the MCI Regulations on Graduate Medical Education of 1997. The change that was informed on January 22, stipulated an upper age limit of 25 years for general category competitors and of 30 years for those having a place with the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes (OBC) and those is the physically disabled classes.
The Delhi High Court had on May 11 maintained the regulation. It had held that a 17-or 18-year-old competitor will think that it's hard to contend with more seasoned and more experienced hopefuls.
Senior supporter Amarendra Sharan, contending for the candidates, told the court the direction is counterfeit and serves no real objective.
"The Regulation is bad as per the (MCI Oversight) Committee as well as the central government that has recommended deletion of the upper age limit as the country needs more doctors," the lawyer said.
But the bench noted that the regulations are in exercise of legislative power to which Sharan replied: "When candidates secure higher marks, it increases competition, resulting in better doctors."

NZ rugby drugs cheat rejects naming stars for ban deal
Wellington - A New Zealand rugby drug cheat has refused to name star players on steroids despite being offered a reduction on his six-year playing ban if he did, according to a report Sunday.
A number of professional players including one New Zealand representative are believed to be involved, but Andrew Burne told Fairfax Media he was not interested in destroying the careers of others.
In 2013, when Burne was a senior rugby player in Wellington, police found bottles of the anabolic steroid Dianabol during a search of his house.
He was discharged without conviction in court, but Drugfree Sport New Zealand, which enforces World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) codes, then took the case to New Zealand Rugby which last year imposed a six-year ban.
Burne bought the steroids for himself and rugby-playing friends, and contact names and messages found on his phone by police were handed over to Drugfree Sport.
When he approached Drugfree Sport offering to help with education campaigns about the dangers of drugs in sport, he was instead asked to discuss a deal requiring him to identify the players he had supplied.
Fairfax cited a recent email to Burne in which Drugfree Sport investigations director Jude Ellis detailed how they could ask to have his ban reduced if he provided "substantial assistance" under a rule which allows for rewards in return for evidence that leads to another person being found guilty of doping.
"We have not previously dealt with this rule directly and it is a little complex, so if you are serious about this we will need to chat some more so you are clear on what would be required," Ellis advised.
Fairfax quoted Burne as saying some players he associated with had gone on to play professionally and one to represent New Zealand.
But he maintained he was not interested in destroying their careers and would rather help stop young people taking drugs in the first place.
"I went to them, trying to work out a way to do something positive for the game and to try and stop other young guys doing steroids. I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake I did, but all they want is names," he said.
"And what's that going to do? If I say I gave someone steroids, it's my word against theirs. If they had any proof, they would have done something already."
Burne said the extra bulk from taking steroids was not worth getting caught and he was sincere about wanting to provide a better environment for others.
"If they want to treat me like a criminal, even though I'm not, that's up to them," he added.
"But the rules should be changed. You shouldn't only be able to get off if you nark on others. Shouldn't you be able to get a smaller ban if you do something good?"

••• From a reader: "Saw your recent comment about police double parking on Duane. Wanted to mention to you that there are frequently police cars or other official vehicles double parking on Varick south of beach outside of the police station, when there are parking spaces available and clear alternatives in the area—limiting traffic during rush hour on Varick to one lane—at times backing traffic up to Canal and even further north. This is not being a good neighbor." I've noticed the same thing—I tweeted the above photo on April 8, along with one showing another NYPD car doubleparked on the east side of Varick. My guess with this and the NYPD is that the politicians don't dare cross either department because they're constantly courting those unions' vote.
••• From Thalassa: "This Tuesday, April 22, we are hosting a reception for an exhibit of work by Tribeca artist Nancy Pantirer—it will be on display for about a month. Complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. RSVP to email@example.com."
••• From NotifyNYC: "There will be a fireworks display in New York Harbor tomorrow, 4/18, east of Liberty Island. The display will begin at approximately 9:15 p.m."
••• The Lilac ship at Pier 25 sent out a press release on behalf of New York Nautical and its recent move to Church. What I hadn't realized was this: "It has always been in lower Manhattan at addresses that have included 38 Water Street, 40 Water Street, 3 State Street opposite the Staten Island ferry, and 140 West Broadway before arriving at Duane Street."
••• I was walking by 11 Warren—the back half of the old Strawberry at Broadway and Warren (the front is now a TD Bank)—when I saw a sign in the door asking Time Warner to call one of two numbers when the rep arrived. The windows have been papered for a while, but I never see the door open or evidence of work; it's a 15,000-square-foot, two-level space. Anyone know what's up?

How about these cars parked on the sidewalk?
don't even get me started on cops breaking the law. i could easily make a tumblr of all the times i've been the NYPD running red lights with their siren off, driving their cars without a seat belt (!!), talking on their cell phone while driving, smoking in uniform, sleeping in their car….the list goes on and on. if these guys don't have to follow the rules they enforce, then why should I? I wish I could give a cop a ticket for breaking the law..
Please explain yourself. You say cops breaking the law? Is smoking breaking the law? Please show me someone smoking that's getting carted off to jail. Sleeping in a car, is that another felonious offense? I don't hear anyone bitching when you pass an ambulance with a guy sleeping waiting for a call or a firehouse in the middle of the night with the lights off. All these people work hard for a living, harder than the average person sitting at a cubicle playing candy crush on their work time. Y not stop your whining and show these people assume respect. They enforce the laws and protect the rights that allow you to get on this website and speak your mind. Wake Up!!!!!
In addition to these abuses, city employees who get parking permits, often use those for personal purposes. A neighbor of ours has free protected street parking near and around Barclays Street because he works for a city agency that gave him a pass. Since he doesn't need the car for work, he enjoys that spot at the cost of tax payers. There are lots of city employee parking spots there for people who don't need to use cars for their work. We have public transportation in NYC.
The culprits on Duane are NYFD not NYPD.

The Joy of Hate
How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage
- $12.99
- $12.99
Publisher Description
From the irreverent star of Fox News's Red Eye and The Five, hilarious observations on the manufactured outrage of an oversensitive, wussified culture.
Greg Gutfeld hates artificial tolerance. At the root of every single major political conflict is the annoying coddling Americans must endure of these harebrained liberal hypocrisies. In fact, most of the time liberals uses the mantle of tolerance as a guise for their pathetic intolerance. And what we really need is smart intolerance, or as Gutfeld reminds us, what we used to call common sense.
The Joy of Hate tackles this conundrum head on--replacing the idiocy of open-mindness with a shrewd judgmentalism that rejects stupid ideas, notions, and people. With countless examples grabbed from the headlines, Gutfeld provides readers with the enormous tally of what pisses us all off. For example:
- The double standard: You can make fun of Christians, but God forbid Muslims. It's okay to call a woman any name imaginable, as long as she's a Republican. And no problem if you're a bigot, as long as you're politically correct about it.
- The demonizing of the Tea Party and romanticizing of the Occupy Wall Streeters.
- The media who are always offended (see MSNBC lineup)
- How critics of Obamacare or illegal immigration are somehow immediately labeled racists.
- The endless debate over the Ground Zero Mosque (which Gutfeld planned to open a Muslim gay bar next to).
- As well as pretentious music criticism, slow-moving ceiling fans, and snotty restaurant hostesses.
Funny and sarcastic to the point of being mean (but in a nice way), The Joy of Hate points out the true jerks in this society and tells them all off.
Customer ReviewsSee All
The Joy Of Hate
I find myself reading, nodding my head in agreement and occasionally pumping my fist in the air while screaming "Yes!" That Gutfeld boy can write.
Gut is the man!
From his dedication to Andrew Breitbart to the final sentence (if by "final sentence" you mean two-word fragment), Greg covers taboo terrain with practiced ease, common sense, and uncommon wit. He forages on the forbidden and feasts on foibles with firmness to the right and malice toward none. Wise and wonderful, funny and insightful, and oh so timely.
The joy of hate
Gutfeld makes conservatism trendy and hip. The best book I've ever read that can convey this ideal effectively to gen "y" ers. My sons will each get a copy for Christmas.

I went over to his house and things started to get hot and heavy. I promptly washed myself off and put my clothes on before leaving. He was so embarrassed that he leaned back to roll away from me, but he was still inside of me and holding onto my hips, so he accidentally pulled me off of the bed with him and we fell on the floor. When I'm fully clothed, I'm just an average guy. All the time.

I had braces at the time and was hesitant, but he assured me it would be OK. Please Rate This Submission: 1 2 3 4 5. She was more concerned that I had stained one of the good hands towels. I found out he liked to be tied up, so, being the people-pleasing, awkward turtle I am, I obliged.

The Nashville Predators pulled out a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames Friday, but the biggest story of the night is what happened in the 3rd period. After an awkward collision with Kevin Fiala, Pekka Rinne had to leave the game with an apparent injury.
Juuse Saros came on in relief of Rinne and played well, but an injury to Rinne would be devastating.
No word from the Predators on why exactly he left. It could have been part of the NHL's concussion protocol (he was seen talking with the refs before coming over to the Preds bench) or it could have been something else.
The Predators only update after the game was not really an update:
HC Laviolette had no update on Pekka Rinne, but did say: "We didn't pull him, so something was wrong." #Preds
— Thomas Willis (@TomAWillis) October 20, 2018
Meanwhile, the Preds pulled out a nice win over the Flames. Five different players scored for the Preds and Juuse Saros had nine saves in relief to get the win.
Quick Score, Then A Few More
It didn't take long for the Preds' top line to make an impact. Ryan Johansen scored off a Filip Forsberg pass just 51 seconds into the game to make it 1-0 Nashville. It was as smooth and easy a goal for Johansen as you will ever see.
Following the goal, the Preds then dominated most of the 1st period. But most of the shots put on Mike Smith were of the low danger variety.
Then as the period was winding down, and on just their 2nd shot of the game, the Flames tied it up on a goal by Elias Lindholm. It was a deflating way for the period to end for Nashville, which had been controlling the game to that point.
In the 2nd period, Craig Smith got the Preds back in front. He backhanded a beautiful goal by Smith to make it 2-1. A sustained offensive possession led by Kyle Turris led to the goal and the Preds were back in front.
But the Flames would answer. After Mark Giordano drew a slashing penalty on Viktor Arvidsson, Matthew Tkachuk scored on the ensuing power play, tipping a deflected puck just in over the goal line.
Kevin Fiala then gave the Preds a 3-2 lead with his first goal of the season. A rebound off Smith came right to Ryan Ellis, who made the touch pass over the Fiala on the backdoor. His quick wrist shot didn't miss and Nashville had a goal lead again.
Rinne Leaves In 3rd Period
The Flames tied the game at 2:20 of the 3rd period, but the real worry for Preds fans was what happened soon after. After some discussion on the bench, Pekka Rinne left the game in place of Juuse Saros, presumably due to injury.
It was unclear whether the injury was because of a lower body problem (he was seen stretching his legs after the hit by Fiala) or because of concussion protocol (he was seen talking to refs, which could indicate protocol). Either way, we won't likely know anything for at least a day or two.
In the meantime, the Preds got the lead back on a ridiculous play by Zac Rinaldo. Coming down the right wing, he fired a wrist shot over Mike Smith to give the Preds a 4-3 lead.
After killing a late penalty by Fiala, the Preds sealed the win with an empty netter by Filip Forsberg.
Obviously the biggest news in this one is not the win itself but the nature of the injury to Pekka Rinne. If the Nashville Predators have any chance of dominating the way they have this year so far, they will need this injury to not be a big deal.

Taste of time: Sensient Flavors new range based on perceptions of the past, present and future
01 Aug 2019 --- Sensient Flavors has unveiled a new collection of six novel "Trends to Taste" flavors, based on the company's latest insights into consumer interpretations of the past, present and future. In addition to offering a new aromatic kick in final product applications, flavors within the new range are marketed as conveying insight and inspiring achievable innovations that can help narrow the gap between a brand and its consumers.
"Our research come through various national and international insights houses, plus our own commissioned consumer research into the macro effects that drive purchases and decisions with consumers every day," James Street, Marketing Director EMEA of Sensient, tells FoodIngredientsFirst. "Our flavorist expertise enables us to work with all food and drink manufacturers – however our key categories are beverages, dairy, confectionery and bakery."
A question posed by the brand is, "Where does the story of your product belong – the past, present or future?" Published annually, Sensient Flavors' Trends to Taste forecast encompasses the company's syndicated research and"horizon-scanning' analyses in pursuit of capturing the latest consumer trends and transferring them into a "flavorsome, aromatic language."
"For each dimension of time in the consumer analysis, they identified both positive and negative feelings, which are strong drivers of consumer behavior. By turning these insights into a flavor collection, the company has created six avant-garde offerings that mirror specific consumer attitudes to each time dimension, and help drive stronger product performance in the marketplace.
"Overall, consumers are looking for that moment of escape from the daily stresses. They look to flavors that can be 'traditional and nostalgic,' 'fantasy and flamboyant,' 'unusual and standout' or 'a break from the norm.' They also can include twists of flavors that combine 'something I know' with 'something I don't,' a regional taste of nostalgia, the halo effect of certain plant extracts, or complete fun with unicorns, flamingos and llama styles food and drink," says Street.
This year, adventurous, daring and reimagined flavors emerge as delights for trend-conscious consumers, who enjoy an element of surprise on their palate. Innova Market Insights has pegged the theme of food discovery by the adventurous consumer as its top trend for 2019. The market researcher notes that modern consumers are adapting their palates to niche flavors at their fingertips, which are delivered by modern technologies and social media. This mindset is driving consumer appetite for new experiences.
"Engaging the past"
While some of us associate the past with positive feelings of nostalgia, stability and comfort, others use yesteryear to make changes to their future, notes Sensient Flavors. To reflect the emotions of the former, the brand has developed a new variation of Poudre Douce – a warm and comforting medieval spice blend for use in various foods from roasted meats to bakery items. By contrast, Romeu e Julieta ̶ a flavor combination of traditional tropical fruity guava paste and subtly sweet cheese ̶ was designed to create both a new sensory experience, as well as acknowledge the feelings of the latter group of consumers.
"Controlling the present"
An increasing number of people consider the modern world to be immersive ̶ an interactive experience to be explored, highlights Sensient Flavors. For these shoppers, the flavor house has isolated the aroma of Timut Peppercorn – a plant highly appreciated by Himalayan natives for its versatile properties. Characterized by peppery notes in combination with zesty fruit aromas, the brand pegs the aroma as helping to create tailored products that tap into interactive indulgence. However, the flavorist notes there are also an increasing number of people who are rather overwhelmed by today's multi-sensorial stimulation. For this group, Chocolate Toadstool, conveying "deep earthy umami" and "decadent chocolate" notes, helps create authentic products to satisfy a taste for diversion and escapism.
"Imagining the future"
Today, future visions of a near-perfect society sit alongside dystopian predictions that necessitate a return to a simpler existence, and regionally focused eating, details Sensient Flavors. In addressing the utopian idea, the company has embraced the ancient description of utopia as a land of "milk and honey," where "honey" connotes the sweetness of dates. Against this backdrop, the manufacturer presents Silan – a "harmonic combination of brown dates with a slight bitter edge tempered with creaminess."
Acknowledging a dystopian vision of the future, the flavor company presents Fermented Yaupon, which it distinguishes as "reminiscent of roasted tea enhanced with floral notes." As North America's only caffeine-containing plant, Yaupon promises a natural caffeine buzz and, thanks to fermentation, this offering also has a slightly sour edge.
"Our latest 'Trends to Taste' collection is designed to offer an understanding of emerging consumer trends, and their translation into actionable insights," concludes Ranbir Kooner, Marketing Manager EMEA. "Thanks to our forecast system, we have identified the consumer perspectives that influence their current decision-making and will guide food and beverage landscapes in the years ahead. Understanding the ever-changing trends helps developers to create more attractive products, and support their positioning for maximum effect."

Rhubarb at the long established Stop & Shop: $4/pound.
No contest.
(Honestly, it's rhubarb. Even if you're a rhubarb enthusiast, and I am, how much better could it be?)
- AnonymousDecember 1, 2010 at 4:42 PM
HOW MUCH?!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I can see I'd better take Melanie shopping with me!
Anchovie pate brings memories of a dear friend.
I think I can get about six cans at Costco for less than $10 - will have to checks for sure because that spread sounds great. Definitely on the "try it" list.ReplyDelete
Wow, so expensive. I love anchovies, this spread looks delicious.ReplyDelete
Anchovy lovers everywhere thank you. So simple, I can't wait to try. It would probably stand up very well to acorn bread.ReplyDelete
