Thanks for the reply :)

I always have raytracing on. I have it set to 4.   Here is a shot of my final render settings.

I'll try the rest of your suggestions and see what I can do and will post my results.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
