Yehonatan, Thank you for adding your views. I really appreciate your involvement as you obviously have experience from living in the area. I would appreciate if you could further clarify a few of your points as I want to understand where you are coming from. @halroach said: Genocide mumbo jumbo! Look up what the word means before you use it so freely. If Israel were into genocide The Palestinians would be long gone, a long long time ago. Well, I will agree to differ with you on the definition of genocide. @halroach said: The article below, might help you understand at least one little part of the story, or maybe you'll get an idea of why you think Israel is so evil, when it really isn't so bad. For many years (55+) I supported the establishment of Israel but I also wanted to see a Palestinian state established. It is only in recent years that I have become very disappoint with Israel. I do not hate Israel just feel very critical of its leaders / government. @halroach said: I live here, knowing it is one of the most wonderful free and democratic countries in the world. I see it. I feel it. I live it. I live among Arab Israelis. I pay my rent to an Arab family. I have good Arab friends. The story in this country is so much more complicated than what you guys can imagine. So spare the blind hatred without knowing the full story. Come to this country... visit it. See it with your own eyes, take a tour... Maybe even live here for a while! maybe... you'll understand a little about the situation more than what the international media agencies spoon feed you their one sided stories with a clear and boring narrative, and maybe you'll understand that there is no simple solution to the problems here. I wish it were simple... If it were, it would have been done a long time ago. It looks that you have a very comfortable and enjoyable life. I am glad for you. You are a young educated man with many Arab friends. I imagine your Arab friends have possibly friends / family / relatives in Gaza and The West Bank. Maybe I am wrong but I will make this assumption. My question is, would it be possible for young educated people living in Israel to reach out to young people in Gaza and The West Bank? Even if was done in just a small way it could grow and lead to peace. @halroach said: There may be some similarities between the problems here and what was between northern Ireland and England, but yet it is soooo different. The Islamic hatred is a whole other cup O'tea. Just look at what's happening in Syria and Iraq now, beheadings, killings in the name of some imaginary friend. Imagine people with that kind of mentality and brutality, knocking on your door with mortar shells every day of the week for years... And nothing being done about it. If it would have happened to you, be it in England or Ireland or where ever in Europe, the imaginary genocide you so freely speak of, would have been long been done, but not by Jews or Israelis... but rather by... I have to disagree with you that the Northern Ireland "Troubles" (as they are referred to) are totally different from the Palestinian / Israeli conflict. There are so many similarities. The IRA grew because of Bloody Sunday http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1972 If the British Government had entered into talks at this time the IRA would not have grown to become what it did and a lot of Irish and English people would not have lost their lives in the following years. All parties talked eventually and we now have peace and power sharing. As regards what is happening in Syria and Iraq goes. I think the list of counties could be extended to include many others. Conflict will go on as long as we (ordinary people) allow 'the powers that be' run the show. Just referring to the Northern Ireland Troubles again for a point. Small Peace Groups started by wives and mothers played a major part in getting the warring factions to sit down and have peace talks. 'Women for Peace' was started by Mairéad Corrigan Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown and it became very influential in bringing about peace. @halroach said: It hurts to see the blind sightedness of highly intelligent people here. I don't regard myself as highly intelligent just an ordinary person that finds in difficult to accept what is happening in Israel, The West Bank and Gaza. Rather than being blind sighted I think its more a case of disappointment in Israel, the far more advanced country, which could take the lead in the area and set an example to others. Desmond Tutu has offered the peace formula, Liberate yourselves by liberating Palestine Mike

@stinkie said: From my perspective, Vray is one the best render engines out there, so I have to ask: what engine, in your opinion, doesn't produce 'poor' images? Nice question !

Agree totally, always get model releases from anyone whose image you publish, otherwise someone will sue your pants off.

Thank you, Pilou. I'll let you know how it went.

Solved, thank you. now that is an almighty DOH moment! John

Then it will take taxes. You don't get something for nothing. I just think it is good for people to get paid for their work, best if it can be done without bake sales and more taxes. I agree the choices we make should not have to be "incentivized". I think a workable economic solution will spread more quickly, since it will not depend on governments to move forward and do more good. Regulation, Carbon tax, cap and trade are ways to do as you say and make us pay as we go for pollution and consumption, because apparently the market can't achieve that. I am not against that either. Again it takes governments to do it. Some like Europe will do it more than others.

amazing stuff brain stretching

Hi Joel. No, this is a different thing than the one I was working on back then. There are no release yet, and no date set. You can PM me for specific questions/suggestions, should you wish to

@box said: Just as an example to make it clearer. In the Corner Bar you can post directly as it is a fully open forum but there are also sub forums within the corner bar for more specific questions. Therefore this thread would be more accurately placed if you had posted it in the subforum called Ideas Box & Board Issues. This is the anything goes forum so it's not that important, the others are more specific so that the questions go to the right places. Thanks again. I rarely stray from the gallery and WIP forums so I am unfamiliar with the rest of the board. I really appreciate the heads up.

Its time the Sheeple wake up and smell the SHIT they are covered in, Its the SHIT that Google is providing in return for free searches, all in the name of finding new advertising revenues. Same is true for FB, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. etc. But you have the option: opt out. and please complain vigorously, otherwise we will all be ruled by these predatory Companies, ....unless you like the smell! My advice: Don't use Google search engine. I use https://startpage.com/ as my startup search page. Don't buy an Android OS device. All you are buying a device that Google uses to spy on you. Run CCleaner each day on your computer system. On an Android OS you can't log out of Gmail. After doing simple search for "anything" you discover advertisements for "anything" on all your subsequent searches. Also some Newspaper links wont work on Android without a paying account. Its still best to stay with a Windows OS. Recently my password protected .zip files were rejected. I could not send them via Gmail. The comment was my zip file contained a virus. I had to remind the Gmail forum that the .rb extension is a Ruby file extension not a virus. I then changed the .rb extension to .txt, the file now passed the Silly Gmail Virus checker. I reminded the Gmail forum of this fact. Now my password protected .zip files are no longer rejected. Makes one wonder what type of people Google employs?

looks good, I was wondering what happened to this project. I have some questions so if you can ahare can you tell me: Which kind of concrete did you use? How did you make the corners, touch friendly, I guess consistently rounded is what I am trying to say? How does it perform thermodynamically is it could for sitting ?
