23 Best Foods With Fiber
High-fiber foods
Fiber can lower blood sugar, cut cholesterol, and may even prevent colon cancer and help you avoid hemorrhoids. If it were a drug, the world would be clamoring for it.
But few people are getting enough.
Women should get about 25 grams a day and men at least 35 to 40, but the average person gets just 15 grams a day. Eating fiber-rich whole foods—not foods that tout "added fiber"—is the best way to increase your fiber intake, says Carolyn Brown, RD, a nutritionist at Foodtrainers, in New York City.
Here is a list of high-fiber foods—and tasty recipes that contain them.

We're most familiar with the sunny, yellow version, but corn comes in a rainbow of colors—from pink to blue to black—each with its own special combination of antioxidant nutrients.
A single ear of corn, which is about a half cup of corn kernels, contains 2 grams of fiber. Popcorn is also a terrific—and low-calorie—fiber source, with about 3.5 grams of fiber per three-cup serving.

White beans
In addition to being rich in fiber, protein, and iron, white beans are one of the best nutritional sources of potassium—1 cup will cover 25% of your daily requirement for this hypertension-fighting nutrient.
Beans get a bad rap when it comes to gas, but the key is to amp up your fiber intake gradually, Brown says. "If you only eat (low-fiber) foods right now, don't suddenly switch to eating 40 grams of fiber a day, because that will cause a lot of stress to the digestive system."
Try this recipe:Chicken-and-White-Bean Soup With Greens
Black beans
Black beans contain 15 grams of fiber per cup, and about 15 grams of protein. Their dark, rich color signals a high content of flavonoids, plant pigments that are powerful antioxidants. As you add beans and other high-fiber foods to your diet, be sure to drink more water, too, Brown says.
Try this recipe:Mexican Black-Bean-and-Spinach Pizza
Kidney beans
The key ingredient in red beans and rice, kidney beans are popular in northern India as well as New Orleans. Like their cousins—pretty much all of the beans we eat share the Latin name Phaseolus vulgaris, or "common bean"—they're rich in fiber, protein, and iron.
Try this recipe:Classic Jamaican Rice and Peas
Garbanzo beans
Also known as chickpeas, these versatile legumes come in two varieties: the light-colored "Kabuli" type, most common in the United States, and the darker "Desi" variety, which are richer in fiber and antioxidants. Garbanzos were first domesticated in the Middle East, where they remain an important staple ingredient in dishes such as hummus and falafel. They're also widely used in India, the world's biggest producer of chickpeas.
Try this recipe: Italian Garbanzo Salad
The creamy flesh of the avocado is a great fiber source; a two-tablespoon serving of avocado has about 2 grams of fiber and an entire fruit contains around 10 grams. Avocados are also an excellent source of mono- and polyunsaturated fats—the "good" kind that can help lower cholesterol and reduce heart-disease risk.
Try this recipe:Grapefruit-Avocado Salad

Whole-wheat pasta
Swapping out traditional pasta for the whole-wheat kind is a great way to introduce more fiber to your diet. "Really small changes will make a difference," Brown says.
But whole-wheat pasta can be an acquired taste for those who are used to the white version. Grocery stores are likely to have whole-wheat pasta in several brands and shapes; you may want to try a few types to find the one with the taste and texture combination you like best.
Try this recipe:Whole-Wheat Pasta Shells With Spicy Tomato Pesto and Winter Greens
Brown rice
If you've been strictly a white-rice eater, the chewier texture and nuttier taste of brown rice can take some getting used to—but it's worth the effort. Every cup contains 3.5 grams of fiber.
Harvard researchers recently found that although eating five or more servings of white rice a week increased type 2 diabetes risk by 17%, adding a couple servings of brown rice per week decreased risk by 11%.
Try this recipe:Wild Salmon and Brown Rice Bowl
Long popular in East Asian cuisine, edamame are immature soybeans boiled in the pod. You can pop them out of the pod into your mouth, or mix them into a tasty dip. A half-cup serving of edamame can contain up to 11 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber, depending on the brand.
Try this recipe:Edamame Guacamole With Chile-Dusted Pita Chips
Whole-wheat bread
White bread and other refined grains are milled, meaning the outer coating of the grain (bran) has been removed, along with the germ, a tiny part of the kernel that serves as the seed's 'embryo.' Whole wheat retains these nutrient- and fiber-rich elements, so switching from white to whole wheat is a smart nutritional move.
"Making it your go-to will make a big difference in terms of the number of grams of fiber you're getting," says Brown.
Try this recipe:CarbLovers Club Sandwich
This tiny member of the legume family is super-rich in fiber, with 15.6 grams per cup. Cultivated since Neolithic times, lentils are also a great source of protein, B vitamins, iron, and other minerals.
Try this recipe:Smoked-Cheddar-and-Lentil Burgers
As with most fruits with edible skins, pears are most nutritious and fiber-rich when their skins are left intact. "Keeping the skin on is really important for fiber," Brown says. A medium-size unpeeled pear contains about 5.5 grams of fiber.
Try this recipe:Warm Pear With Cinnamon Ricotta
A single boiled artichoke contains a whopping 10.3 grams of fiber, and you'll get 7.2 grams of fiber from a half cup of artichoke hearts. Artichokes also are rich in silymarin, an antioxidant that may improve liver health.
Try this recipe:Roasted-Tomato-and-Artichoke Flatbread Pizza
Oats contain beta-glucan, a special type of fiber that has particularly powerful cholesterol-lowering effects, and may also boost immune-system function.
Oats also feature a good mix of soluble fiber (the type that lowers blood cholesterol) and insoluble fiber (which helps keep your digestion running smoothly).
Try this recipe:Swiss Fruit-and-Yogurt Muesli
Whether they're ruby-red or blue-black, raspberries are nutrition superstars. In addition to being extra-rich in fiber, one cup will give you about a third of your daily fiber needs—they're also chock-full of powerful antioxidants.
When raspberries aren't in season, buying them frozen is easier on your wallet.
Try this recipe:Fresh Berries With Maple Cream
The humble pea, eaten straight out of the pod, bought frozen or cooked, or dried and made into split-pea soup, is a tasty, versatile, and inexpensive fiber source. One cup of split peas boasts 16.3 grams of fiber, and a cup of frozen peas contains a not-too-shabby 8.8 grams after cooking.
Try this recipe:Campanelle With Summer Vegetables
By now we all know that broccoli is very good for you. A member of the cruciferous vegetable family, known for its cancer-preventing properties, this veggie also contains a respectable amount of fiber: You'll get about 5.1 grams in a cup of boiled broccoli.
Try this recipe:Parmesan Broccoli With Cherry Tomatoes
When you're talking about apples, the skin's the thing—you've got to leave it on or you'll be missing out on fiber and a host of beneficial phytochemicals.
"Once you take the skin off, you take off a lot of the good stuff that's in there," Brown says. A single regular-size apple contains about 4.4 grams of fiber.
Try this recipe:Apple-and-Celery-Root Salad
Almonds—and pretty much every other edible nut and seed you can think of—are good sources of fiber, packed with healthy fats and protein.
But all that goodness comes with a high calorie count, so keep your eye on serving size. A quarter-cup handful makes a good balance, with about 3 grams of fiber and around 170 calories.
Try this recipe:Roasted Almonds With Lemon and Salt
It may be best known as a raw ingredient in beer and whisky, but barley is a whole grain, too, and a good source of heart-healthy beta glucan.
A recent study found that healthy people who ate barley with their breakfast felt less hungry before lunch than study participants who ate wheat or refined rice.
Try this recipe:Barley Risotto Primavera
Split peas
This protein-packed pulse (the umbrella term for beans and peas), is a common ingredient in Indian cuisine, found in soups, stews, and dhals. But whether you opt to whip them into a heart soup or add them to a grain bowl, one thing is certain: Split peas are a fiber powerhouse. In fact, in just one cooked cup contains a whopping 16.3 grams of fiber, making them one of the most fiber-dense foods around.
Brussels sprouts
You may have despised these little cabbages as a kid, but with so many new tasty ways to prepare them, there's no reason to leave Brussels sprouts out of your diet. That's especially true because these veggies are also an excellent source of protein, boasting 4.1 grams per cup, boiled. Try them roasted with crispy capers and carrots, or charred and topped with a pancetta and fig glaze.
Chia seeds
In addition to containing omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a slew of vitamins and minerals, these little seeds are bursting with fiber. A single tablespoon of chia seeds has 5.5 grams of fiber. Plus, they're incredibly easy to incorporate into your daily diet. Sprinkle some chia seeds on your oatmeal, smoothies, or salads. You can also combine them with nut milk to create a delicious and healthy pudding, or use them as an egg replacement in baking.

In the same way that censorship is regarded as a BUG by the old programmers who BUILT the internet, so one might regard National Security Letters as something like the EBOLA VIRUS.
National Security Letters are basically COURTLESS WARRANTS, self-granted by the DOJ and FBI. If you think that sounds unconstitutional as all hell, then you are not alone. You are likely sitting there with your mouth agape, wondering why on Earth these sleazy court-free warrants – that even include their own gag orders – should EXIST at all.
Well, NSLs were birthed along with a lot of other communist nonsense in 1978. Make sense now? Yes. They have been protected from being struck down by SCOTUS by – surprise, surprise, surprise – the Communist Ninth Circus Court of Repeals. GO FIGURE. Just like "privacy-loving" Obama "grudgingly" kept and strengthened the Patriot Act. Just like "anti-capitalist" Obama approved ALL those big mergers of media and finance companies that toed the leftist line.
You starting to see how that works for the communist occupation? It's ALL about having cover. The commies use the captive Republicans to do certain things, when the world would not trust the same thing done by Democrat hands. In the same way, the "caring" Democrats handle things so the "mean old Republicans" don't have to. It's ALL narrative, folks. ALL narrative.
Kinda goes well with FBI's abuse of the FISA court, doesn't it? And now they're packing FISC with STRZOK SPUDS. How much you want to bet Strzok's buddy has a red diaper?
NSLs were introduced QUIETLY by Soviet DUPE President Dzhimmy Kharter, our first occupation President, in 1978, prior to the massive REAGAN REVOLUTION. Remember, they were prepping Watergate hidden provocateur and Soviet spy Stefan Halper to infiltrate the Reagan transition team shortly after that, when – only surprisingly to the Marxist Democrats – America rejected their sneaky crypto-socialist bullshit.
And then came 9/11 – COUGH, COUGH – which provided a way to really upgrade the Stalin State, while blaming it on REPUBLICANS.
You starting to see how this all worked? Good. There's more, but that is enough for today.
Take a look at some basics about what an NSL actually is.
As you might guess, National Security Letters are utterly Stalinist in nature, which is why I'm sure that Obama and Holder used the holy CRAP out of them during the Obama administration.
Not just that. On many occasions during the Obama years, I felt that certain conservative sites suddenly began to "act funny". I always thought there was some kind of Obama-Fed gun to their backs. NSLs explained such things very nicely, when their existence became more "public".
NSLs also seem to EXPLAIN certain things that we see now. They are not guaranteed to be the explanation, but they COULD be the explanation.
To understand this more fully, watch THIS:
One of the most amazing things about these Soviet crapwagons is that they can be even MORE ABUSED by employing them as TOOLS TO SHUT PEOPLE UP. You know – kinda like abusing a FISA warrant to SPY on somebody, only you don't even need a corrupt judge.
Oh, wow. I mean, I wonder if they ever used these things on Donald Trump and never mentioned THAT when they got their FAKE FISA warrant. I mean, I'm just asking for a FRIEND.
You starting to see it now? "Putin" it all together?
Due. Process. Gone. Very "Holder", isn't it? Speaking of his post-scurry tweets into DOJ and FBI! Well, that does start to make some sense.
Read how MANY people in FBI and DOJ can approve these wicked, invisible, knife-to-the-back things. Wanna bet some McCabian BULLSHIT is able to run these things on whoever Holder needs to cover up his CRIMES?
It's very helpful for our purposes to call NSLs RUSSIAN and SOVIET, because that is exactly what they are. You want to RED-PILL a Democrat fast? Drop THAT on them. Yeah, forget the complexity of Putin's weird fake Western communist weirdocracy which pretends to be – very successfully – what it is not, while their Democrat buddies do the same. That is like Deception Level 5 and very hard to see. Just stick with REVERSE MUH RUSSIA for now.
I want people on this site to study these wicked, damnable things.
We are going to prevent our beloved free speech site from contracting the dreaded and quite deadly and disfiguring FBI LAWFARE USURPATION – a.k.a. FLU.
I will explain more about how this all works very soon. But TIME is of the essence, and we have to RAISE THE PRICE of FBI/DOJ using these SOVIET RUSSIAN TOOLS immediately. For the past several months they have been looking for ways to parallel construct some kind of bullshit story to take me down, and we have to SEE SOMETHING and SAY SOMETHING.
Reading list and examples are below. Thank you!

There is plenty more on the net. Look it up – you will be shocked.

I think it's basically about how 'cruel' the golden rule is, because no one really takes into consideration if you're actually following it. Like you could 'do unto others as you would wish for them to do unto you' all you want yet it'd only make you 'golden plated'. Everything just becomes too heavy. I think the chorus is just talking about how no one accepts him because of all of this.
I think the second verse is how time is ruining all of the hopes and dreams he had when he was younger. It kind of applies because they're talking about disappointments and how the 'golden rule' has been misused and destroyed.
I'm guessing there might be an even deeper meaning, but this is what I think of when I listen to this song.
Probably one of my favorite songs by them.

The Observer - July 28, 2015 - "Andy Reicher, the executive director of the Urban Homestead Assistance Board, or UHAB, told the Observer that the lack of regulation for these buildings can contribute to their ultimate failure. To combat this, UHAB advocates for city regulatory agreements for these buildings, in which low-income requirements for annual elections, insurance, and other rules are clearly defined, and a third party monitor is set up."

Umbrella House: East Village Co-op Run by Former Squatters
The New York Times - July 17, 2015 - "In 2002, the City of New York gave possession of Umbrella House to the Urban Homesteaders Assistance Board, a nonprofit organization that served as a transitional owner.

How to Dump Tentants and Make a Fortune
The Nation - July 6, 2015 - But a slump of money- no matter the amount - has limitations. "If you've never seen $20,000 before, it seems like a lot," says Celia Weaver, assistant director of organizing and policy at the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB). "But your rent is never going to be lower than it is right now. Unless you're leaving the city or buying into some form of affordable housing, a buyout is never going to be a good idea." Read more.
As deadline ticks away, 2 million left wondering what happens to their rent.
PIX 11 News - June 12, 2015 - UHAB was mentioned as THE organization to call if you are nervous about losing your apartment and go to for help. Creese and West have worked with Urban Homesteading Assistance Board and other advocacy groups to help keep their rents affordable, for now. And time is very short. Rent regulation laws expire Monday. The fact that Creese's, Ward's and two million more New York resident's rent status could change unless the state legislature acts immediately, left the city's pulblic advocate feeling the same way as many tenants, she said.

These Crown Heights Residents Saw Their Rents DOUBLE Last Fall
Gothamist - May 22, 2015 - Kerri White, director of organizing and policy for the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB), helped organize yesterday's rally. This is how she interprets the sudden instatement of legal rents: "Preferential rents allow landlords to essentially put money in the piggy bank while they wait for gentrification to hit. These landlords know that even if they can't charge $2,200 for an apartment right now," as soon as a neighborhood like Crown Heights starts to gentrify, "they can turn on a dime and clear out the lower and moderate income people." Once the long-time tenants are out of the way, the units can be filled with tenants who can afford legal rent. Website • PDF
Yes, It's Illegal for Landlords to Discriminate. And Yes, They Still Do It.
New York Magazine – May 13, 2015 - Every black person has a price," said Ephraim, the pseudonymous Brooklyn landlord I interviewed for my book The Edge Becomes the Center. Ephraim detailed how he buys deeds off black homeowners in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, buys out the tenants, and then rents their units to white people who can pay more. To get a better sense of the prevalence of landlords like Ephraim — and how tenants try to fight back — I spoke with Celia Weaver, the assistant director of organizing and policy at Urban Homesteading Assistance Board, a New York–based nonprofit that helps low-income homeowners and renters.

New York develpers thinking small - Really small
The Spokesman-Review, July 10, 2012 - Maybe it's the urban dwelling of the future: studio apartments measuring no more than 300 square feet.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'BBQ Store' tag.
Many have heard about our BBQ Competition on November 14, 2009. We are still taking enrollment for the contest at www.greenleafbbq.com for any interested individual or team.
This contest is open to all with no fuel restrictions – bring your best skills and grills to win a trophy and some cash.
Competitors will be using Traeger Grills, Big Green Eggs, Drum Smokers, Gas Grills, and perhaps even a few Weber kettle or WSM smoking all day.
If you're interested in learning to BBQ or smoke meats, this is the place to visit and ask questions.
Our BBQ shop will be open during the competition, offering special deals on Big Green Egg, Traeger & Weber products in addition to our great line-up of BBQ rubs and sauces. Check out our website to shop early in our online store.
Here are the details:
*No Fuel Restrictions – Charcoal, Gas, Pellet, Electric or Wood Allowed.
Thanks to all teams that have already committed to joining us!
I know – this is a shameless plug for our BBQ shop. But, sometimes the information being delivered demands some attention – even if it is from within!
Our BBQ Shop is located at: 21 South Livermore Ave. Livermore, CA in the Historic Blacksmith Square. We regularly have Big Green Eggs on sale and offer prices significantly under retail. Please visit our website for more information at: www.greenleafbbq.com – We can drop ship special orders as well!
Here are 10 of the best reasons ever to invest in a Big Green Egg…
1. They can hover at the magic 250 degree mark for almost 24 hours with a good lump charcoal fire – making the "Low & Slow" style a reality.
2. They are supremely efficient users of fuel – Good charcoal is expensive and getting more so.
3. They can really do a great job as a grill – those temps can easily get to 500 – 700 degrees and stay there for over an hour – if you have a "steak night" for 15 folks, this will come in handy.
4. They look cool.
5. They make you cooler!
6. They will last forever & include a limited LIFETIME warranty – Parts are commonly available and easily replaceable.
7. The array of ceramic accessories will allow perfect indirect heating & a wonderful brick over flavored pizza on a Big Green Egg Pizza Stone.
8. There is nothing that cannot be cooked to perfection with a little practice of fire management & technique – a VERY forgiving BBQ.
9. Air flow is managed at both ends and the adjustments actually work, unlike junk grills that have air flow vents more for cosmetic reasons.
10. Cooking technique that is learned in a kitchen can easily be applied to this charcoal fired porcelain oven – learn fire technique & the world will be your oyster.
I don't really need to go on any more – "Backyard Nirvana" is possible and now within reach.
Seriously, these are wonderful BBQ units that will be enjoyed for years…a true investment. Consider renting one from us for $50 a day – we'll take the rental expense off of your bill should you decide to buy.
Ask us about our drop-off barbecue catering services….coming soon.

Wow, I can't believe it's been an year! I wrote this following poem last October but never got around to sharing it. So I thought it's only appropriate now that another October is here, to post this as an Ode to this month of dying beauty. It's also a testament to how far I've come as a writer and most importantly feeling comfortable enough to share my work with the world. It brings back all kind of nostalgia to think I couldn't share this last year but now I'm ready to own my writings and the writer in me. So without further due here it is.
October is here and September is gone,
while November is soon to come.
The days turn to nights and nights into days,
While I wait for your return.
Standing on the threshold of our dreams,
I stand gazing upon the autumn trees.
The crisp air swooshes by me,
And leaves filled with color fall upon my feet.
I melt into the October sky,
I reflect how so many months have since passed by,
while I wait with my tears all dried,
And coffee turned cold.
The morning sun peeks through the autumn trees,
Solemn air mourns and weeps.
I need your warmth to save me,
From the cold dark nights that are soon to embrace me.
October is here, but not you.
Not yet.
Maybe November, maybe December.
Or maybe in January February.
Someday you will return,
Whether it's March, April, June or July.
I will wait for you forever,
Even through August and September.
And then October will come again,
Bringing back memories of the day you left.
Leaving behind a flesh of heaving weeping mess,
Stranded on the doorway tracing your footsteps.
October is here again, but not you.
Not yet.

Doctors should discuss prostate cancer screening with men who have at least 10 years left to live, one of the country's largest groups of cancer doctors said Monday.
But men with a poorer outlook should generally avoid screening with the blood test for prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). "Screening should be discussed with men who have a longer life expectancy, so that men can make an informed decision," said Dr. Ethan Basch, a prostate cancer specialist and co-chair of the ASCO panel.
The new advice, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, comes on the heels of a blanket recommendation against prostate cancer screening from the government-backed U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. When the USPSTF's guidelines were released last May, they triggered an outcry from many cancer specialists and urologists who felt the move could be a death sentence for scores of men across the country.
Dr. Michael LeFevre of the USPSTF stressed the similarities between the two sets of recommendations, but said his organization took a slightly stronger stance against the test.
"We are actually not suggesting that physicians bring up screening with men," he told Reuters Health. If a patient wants the test after getting adequate information about the pros and cons, however, LeFevre said he has no qualms with it.
Prostate cancer is the second-leading killer in men, with more than 240,000 new diagnoses and 28,000 deaths every year. As the PSA test was rolled out over the past two decades, the hope was that it would save lives through early detection and treatment.
But critics fear the test, which is given to millions of Americans every year, has ended up causing more harm than good. In a New York Times op-ed from 2010, for example, Richard Ablin, one of the discoverers of PSA, said it had led to "a hugely expensive public health disaster."
A PSA test costs between $60 and $80. And if blood levels of the antigen are high, men often get follow-up tests or a biopsy to check for signs of cancer in the prostate – a procedure that comes with a much higher price tag.
Inconsistent evidence
Like all other screening tests, checking healthy people for prostate cancer also carries health risks. To gauge how they compare with the potential benefits, ASCO used the same data review that the USPSTF looked at. The two main studies in that review – one European and the other American – yielded mixed conclusions.
The American trial included more than 76,000 men, half of whom were screened systematically while the others got standard care – in some cases involving PSA tests.
The study found screening had no effect on prostate cancer deaths, but drew criticism from some scientists who said potential benefits may have been obscured because some men in the standard care group also got screened.
The European trial was not plagued by that problem. It included some 162,000 men aged 55 to 69 and showed screening actually did cut the number of deaths from prostate cancer. But the effect was small. After 11 years of follow-up, researchers found more than 1,000 men would need to be offered prostate cancer screening for just one to avoid dying from the disease. By the same token, 37 would be diagnosed with cancer and forced to make tough decisions about whether or not to undergo treatment.
What's more, there was no proof that the test saved lives overall. And while the European study was done in eight countries, only Sweden and The Netherlands saw a protective effect of screening.
Balancing risks and benefits
ASCO concludes that for men who have at least 10 years left, "PSA testing may save lives but is associated with harms, including complications, from unnecessary biopsy, surgery, or radiation treatment."
While life expectancy depends on general health and lifestyle, Basch said a 75-year-old man in the U.S. would live another 10 or 11 years on average.
The document, which is based on the European screening study, explains that out of 1,000 screened men, four will die of prostate cancer, compared to five out of 1,000 men who don't get the PSA test.
On the flip side, three-quarters of all the positive tests will turn out to be false alarms. And nine out of 1,000 men who get a biopsy after a positive PSA test will be hospitalized due to fever or infections of the prostate – a number that is on the rise, according to some studies.
Finally, some prostate cancers are slow-growing or don't grow at all, so they would never have been life-threatening. Yet many men choose to get aggressive treatment – surgery, radiation or hormone treatment – which causes incontinence, impotence or both in 20 percent to 40 percent of patients.
Basch said he used to be biased against the PSA test due to those risks, but had been persuaded that some men might still see a benefit.
"Upon review of the evidence my own views changed," he said. Still, he warned that many tests are made available to U.S. consumers before they have been carefully vetted, including PSA-based screening.
"The test was not adequately evaluated before it came onto the market," Basch told Reuters Health. "Overtreatment is a real problem. In the United States we treat far too many low-grade cancers." Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, said ASCO is just one of a number of groups calling for informed decision-making.
"All of those organizations are now saying that men should be informed about what is known and not known about this test and be allowed to make a choice," Brawley told Reuters Health. "Hospitals and organizations doing mass screenings, they all need to realize they need to stop that."

The first thing I've done is changed the colour scheme, and implemented some of the changes talked about in this thread: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=m ... opic&t=799 .
click for full size
Download the windows exe
I can forsee some people not liking the dark colours, just as I can forsee people liking the dark colours. It would be nice to have some sort of user preference, like in 3DS MAX, though I don't know how to add it (I'm not really a programmer!). However, I do think the inset number/text buttons are a worthwhile addition, whatever the colour scheme.
Here's a description/rationale for some of the changes I made:
- Darker colour scheme is less visually distracting and tiring on the eyes. I much prefer using a darker colour scheme if I'm going to be working for long periods of time, as it strains my eyes less.
- Less contrast and lesser number of colours on screen at a time helps make the interface less distracting and 'in your face' and lets you concentrate on the work at hand. A smaller set of more harmonious colours also looks better from an aesthetic point of view, rather than a rainbow soup of salmon, green, blue, purple, etc.
- Changed the buttons to square edged. This is more of a personal preference of mine. In my opinion, the rounded buttons look too 'puffy' and childish. The rounded corners also disrupt potential visual alignment - If a number of buttons are placed aligned to one edge, the impression of spatial alignment is reduced by not having clean, straight edges.
- More visual differentiation between different UI controls, which helps to communicate their function better.
- Like dcuny suggested here, text and number buttons are now inset like most other text entry fields usually are in other programs/OS control sets. which communicates that they're used for entering information and not executing some sort of command, in which you would 'push a button'.
- Reduced the use of colour so that it describes different button function types. I have used coloured buttons to show 'action' buttons that perform an action when pressed, rather than the other buttons which are used to toggle settings.
- Some of the icons in the headerbuttons have messy edges and specs of grey, which probably wouldn't have been noticed against the previous light grey background. I'll have to get around to cleaning up those buttons, once I find out how.
- As it is right now, I have only changed the button colours in the renderbuttons window, as more of a proof of concept type thing. I'll end up extrapolating the guidelines I used for colouring the renderbuttons window to the other windows, but I thought I'd at least put this up for some comments first.
Please keep in mind that the layout of the renderbuttons has not been designed with this colour scheme in mind (and also things like the inset text/number buttons) so it may look a bit messy. The next thing I'd like to do as part of my project is to re-organise the renderbuttons (and I guess some of the others too) into a cleaner and more logical and task-oriented layout. The current layout is rather arbitrary and incoherent, which is expected since it's evolved to be that way over a number of years of incrementally added features.
- I chose the blue colour for the buttons etc. from the blue colour in the Blender logo. (The orange looked horrible - it turned out to be a dull brown ). Blue also looks relatively good when it's at low saturation, (eg. in the inset text buttons) so by using slightly de-saturated blue, you can avoid having a really bright and distracting UI.
Now, there may be a problem in that the blue is rather similar to the blue used in Discreet's compositing programs. Perhaps this would open the way for people to accuse this UI as ripping off Discreet's UI? I don't know. Any ideas?

KAHUKU, Hawaii – A Department of Health emergency response team has been assigned to assess the environmental impact of a battery storage fire in Kahuku. The 9,000 square foot warehouse owned by First Wind burned early Wednesday morning. The fire has since been contained.
Kekoa Kaluhiwa spokesperson for First Wind said, "We are determined to find the cause of this incident, take the necessary corrective measures and get this wind project back in operation."
The facility housed lead acid batteries used to store power from the wind farm.
DOH will require the company to conduct tests to see if any contamination may have occurred from the fire and if so, work with the company on a remediation plan.
"The first step would be to characterize the site, which would require sampling, throughout the area or wherever there may have been an impact," said Gary Gill, with the Department of Health. "Then we identify if there has been a contaminate."
Gill says it is still early in the evaluation process and there is no deadline on when the clean up will need to be completed.

Calif. economy slips to 9th largest, behind Brazil
The recession has taken a measurable toll on California, which has slipped behind Brazil to become the ninth-largest economy in the world.
As recently as 2002, California's economic output would have ranked it No. 6 in the world.
The Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy issued a report this month saying California had a $1.9 trillion economy in 2010, putting it just ahead of India. California, with a population of 37.5 million, previously had the eighth largest economy, behind Italy and ahead of Brazil.
The center used estimates of gross domestic product from the U.S. Department of Commerce and compared it with the World Bank's estimates of world economies.
Based on purchasing power across countries, California continues to rank as the world's 11th largest economy.

The IT world has evolved. Some businesses believe that if they have anti-malware, antivirus and some firewalls, then they are safe and secure, but this is no longer the case. These precautions are no longer enough.
Increase your online protection. Web reputation can boost web protection. It works by analyzing websites for immediate risks, potential threats and malicious content, and gives a score between 0 and 100.
Why web filtering is no longer taboo. Web filtering enables organizations to prevent idle or unauthorized web browsing at work, and protects users' computers from exposure to security threats such as malware and scam websites.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other sites pose risks too. The popularity and usefulness of social and professional networking sites are well-documented. However, these well-intentioned tools present security issues targeting IT systems and personal data.
Why businesses need web monitoring. Most organizations use the Internet for business, giving employees access to this essential communications tool. However, personal Internet use by employees is a growing concern for IT administrators.
How attacks have shifted and what to do about it. Web-based threats are growing increasingly complex. In addition to technological solutions, an approach that includes strict and enforceable policies, and a proper awareness program, is needed.

Last Friday morning I was in my car, parked on the street around the corner from work, trying to get my emotions under control. I had tears streaking down my cheeks, runny mascara, and a splotchy face. I wasn't crying because something horrible happened. Those tears weren't bad at all. However, I've been conditioned to […]
There's No Coming Back From the Dead
I was reading the post of one of my favorite bloggers when I had an epiphany of sorts. Her last few posts have been about trust, which you know is on my mind a lot. In the post Reflections on trust, she talks about all the ways her husband's lies have affected her and made […]
Thoughts & Quotes About Trust
The concept of trust is something that I struggled with in my last relationship quite a bit (as you know if you've read this blog at all). As I move forward and put my past behind me, I know that I will also need to open my heart and learn to trust again. In theory, that […]
It's Funny What People Will Tell You When They Know Things Are Over
Today at work my Office Manager said that she hadn't heard me mention how Mr. Mess is doing lately. I told her that's because we're getting a divorce. At first she was slighty surprised, mostly because she didn't notice that I haven't been wearing my wedding rings in some time. Then, the truth started rolling right […]
Operating with integrity when it feels so good to act like an ass
This is something that I am working on right now – letting go of his recovery. It is on him. He needs to learn to take positive action for himself. If we have any chance of ever making this marriage work there can be no more lies. He has to take responsibility for really doing the […]

Here is more from Olivier Clement, in his Book, On Human Being: A Spiritual Anthropology. This is from pages 35-36.
Then the question arises: Why has God created us tragically free, tragically responsible – so heavy a burden that we constantly lay it down at the feet of idols and inquisitors? To which the great Christian Tradition replies unanimously: God created us free because he summons us to deification – to a divine-human condition in which our transformed humanity will find its fulfillment. This call demands a free response. Union that resulted from mere magnetic force would be automatic, instinctive, unworthy of a personal existence which, even in its wish for union, requires complete responsibility.
There does exist, it is true, an impersonal love which is the working of desire. Some contemplatives have stressed the spontaneous return or nature towards its origin. Denys the Areopagite, for example, saw the world as a kind of immense liturgy, a sacred dance revolving around the divine Centre, held in its attractive force. However, Denys was accepted into the Tradition only when corrected by Maximus the Confessor who, in his own writings and experience, emphasized the terrible freedom of man.
That is why Adam had to undergo the test of freedom, to grow in maturity towards a conscious love. That is why sacrificial Love could not be revealed until Abraham's knife had glinted in the eyes of Isaac …That is why the chosen people were a stiff-necked people, who got their name – Israel – after wrestling in the dark with the unnamed Stranger. That is why, finally, when God took on himself the destiny of Isaac and of Job, he came in secret, so that only by the free love of humankind could he be recognized in a crucified slave, defiled with blood and spittle.
. . .
We can really love God only because we can refuse him. The book in the Bible which most clearly expresses this truth is possibly the Song of Songs, where the one painstakingly seeks the other. God seeks us more than we seek God.

What I took from this story was that Cersei killed her son in the same way she killed John Arryn.
Quote from: Tracy on April 19, 2012, 06:12 PMWhat I took from this story was that Cersei killed her son in the same way she killed John Arryn. Correct on the first part, but not on the second. I won't say any more than that because the books and eventually the series will reveal that. That being said, it seems clear that John Arryn had been on the verge of informing King Robert of the true parentage of Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen.
Season 3 confirmed! http://grrm.livejournal.com/276653.html
Like the first two seasons, it will be ten episodes long. This one will cover (roughly) the first half or thereabouts of A STORM OF SWORDS, the third novel in the series.
You can't expect an HBO series to match Helm's Deep. That's just an impossible standard. We're talking $100+ million for 2 hours v/s < $5 million for 1 hour.

Morcombes and Bravehearts forge links
MORE children suffering from sexual assault will be able to seek help on the Sunshine Coast as the Daniel Morcombe Foundation spreads its wings.
The foundation has paired up with national child protection advocate Bravehearts to provide a full-time counsellor one day a week on the Coast and four days at Bravehearts' new Strathpine office. The first client will be seen next week.
Bravehearts founder and executive director Hetty Johnston said the service would provide counselling to some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
"One in five children are sexually assaulted before they turn 18," she said.
Ms Johnston said the Coast and northside of Brisbane had eight of the top 10 suburbs in Queensland for police referrals.
"We needed to be here. The demand is here," she said.
Ms Johnston said there were 36 people on Bravehearts' counselling waiting list at both locations and the new counsellor would see at least 15 clients a week.
"We expect the demand to outstrip that very quickly, but it's 15 kids a week who are not going to have to endure the kind of suffering they now do," she said.
"Those children who don't get that professional help, they've got the ball and chain around the ankle.
"They're the children that end up doing drugs or committing suicide and we need to help those children."

OAKLAND (AP) — An Oakland medical marijuana dispensary that bills itself as the nation's largest has won the first round in its fight to stay open amid a federal crackdown.
A California judge ruled last week that Harborside Health Center's landlord can't evict the pot shop even though the U.S. attorney for Northern California is threatening to seize her property.
Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo says Ana Chretien's claim that Harborside must go because it is engaging in illegal activity does not hold up because state law allows nonprofits to distribute medical marijuana.
Grillo said in his ruling that he sympathized with Chretien's "difficult position."
Harborside is a spa-like fixture on Oakland's waterfront with close to 100,000 registered customers and 84 full-time employees that offers an average of 30 varieties of medical marijuana every day. With $22 million in annual sales, it pays about $3 million in federal, state and local taxes annually, according to Executive Director Steve DeAngelo.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag threatened in July to seize the building Chretien has rented to the dispensary since 2006, as well as Harborside's sister shop in San Jose. She cited a federal law that "makes it unlawful to rent, lease, profit from or make available for use, with or without compensation, a place for the purpose of unlawfully manufacturing, storing, distributing or using a controlled substance, to wit, marijuana," as justification for going after the landlords.
A different California judge last month sided with the owner of the Concourse Business Center in San Jose, which also had sought an eviction order.
Harborside lawyer Henry Wykowski said Grillo's decision was nonetheless ground-breaking.
"Up until now, there have been court of appeals cases saying cities or government entitles cannot enforce federal law in state court," Wykowski said. "Any landlord that tries to evict a medical cannabis dispensary in California will not be able to do it now in state court."
The dispensary's victory in Oakland may be short-lived, though, despite the fact that the city has filed its own lawsuit to keep Harborside open.
Chretien has asked a federal judge to order Harborside to stop growing and selling marijuana in her building. If granted, her request would effectively put the dispensary out of business. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 20.
She also is considering whether to appeal Grillo's decision, her lawyer, Kenneth Katzoff said Monday.
"As demonstrated by Judge Grillo's lengthy order, this is an area of California law without clear precedent," Katzoff said.
Since California's four federal prosecutors launched a coordinated crackdown on the state's medical marijuana industry last year by threatening landlords with property forfeiture actions, hundreds of pots shop have gone out of business.

Equity futures are down just a little this morning, but are picking up momentum on the downside. In a switch, the dollar is down, bonds are up, oil is higher, and gold is gunning for its old highs. Gold is breaking out of yet another small consolidation and is at 1,178 an ounce. The prior high is at $1,227, not that far away, it would appear destined to go higher.
The big release this morning is the first stab at first quarter GDP. The headline number fell from Q4's final reading of 5.6% to 3.2%. Expectations were for 3.4%, so this is a miss. Keep in mind that this 3.2% figure is an annualized quarterly figure, the growth in the quarter was therefore measured to be .8%. Also expect downward revisions to come. Here's Econoday's analysis:
HighlightsMy take is that our GDP does not reflect reality at all. I believe that the deflator numbers do not reflect reality and that a great deal of our nation's "productivity" (measured in dollars) is simply paper fluff engineered by our criminal financial industry using false accounting. Enron times a million.
This morning we got an update on how the recovery is faring for the overall economy with the initial estimate for first quarter GDP. Even though growth in output (overall GDP) slowed from the fourth quarter, the big news is that the domestic final demand component picked up significantly. Real GDP growth for the first quarter came in at an annualized 3.2 percent, following a fourth quarter surge of 5.6 percent. Analysts had expected a first quarter gain of 3.4 percent.
While the inventory component was the driver behind fourth quarter growth, we got help in the first quarter from consumers and business investment (equipment purchases) as real final sales to domestic purchasers rose an improved 2.2 percent in the first quarter after an anemic 1.4 percent rise the period before. Although inventories rose, the "swing" in inventories was less positive than the drop in destocking the fourth quarter. Yes, sharply less negative adds more to GDP than slightly more positive-the "swing" is what matters. Net exports, however, worsened on a slowing in exports and continued increase in imports.
Year-on-year, real GDP advanced to 2.5 percent from 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
Inflation is still soft as the GDP price index rose an annualized 0.9 percent, following a 0.5 percent increase in the fourth quarter. The latest number essentially matched the consensus forecast for a 1.0 percent increase in the overall price index.
Although overall growth slowed in the first quarter, the composition shifted to a stronger position in terms of domestic demand. The change is gradual but in the right direction. Equity futures slipped on the release.
Yes, it's time for a do-over! Freedom's Vision would do it.
For those who are into the details, here's the entire GDP report from the BEA:
The Employment Cost Index rose .6% in the past quarter (1.7% year over year), which is greater than the forecast for a quarterly rise of .4%. The rise is mostly due to higher benefit costs. The difference in the rate of WAGE growth to the rate of growth in other costs, and in particular DEBT, is a guarantee for running into the inability to service the debt – debt saturation eventually occurs, it's just math.
A jump in benefit costs fed a surprising jump in the employment cost index that is definitely not wanted by policy makers. The ECI rose a quarter-to-quarter 0.6 percent in the first quarter for the highest rate of the recovery and compared with a 0.4 percent rise in the fourth quarter. The year-on-year rate rose to 1.7 percent, 2 tenths above the fourth-quarter pace.
Benefit costs jumped 1.1 percent in the first quarter more than doubling the fourth quarter's 0.5 percent rate. The year-on-year rate for benefit costs is at plus 2.2 percent, the highest rate since second-quarter 2007 and far above the prior quarter's plus 1.5 percent rate. Questions over how the implementation of healthcare reform will play out adds special uncertainty to the outlook for benefit costs.
Wages & salaries remain tame at plus 0.4 percent, down 1 tenth in the first quarter in the only headline that Federal Reserve officials will welcome. The year-on-year rate for this reading is unchanged at plus 1.5 percent.
A base effect is at play in this report as the fourth quarter marked a deep low for this series. But the gains can't be ignored and will raise doubts over how extended the Fed's zero-rate policy will prove to be.
Well, let's see… how did holding rates too low for too long work out last time? What's the definition of insanity? What one has to keep in mind is that the Fed does not work for the people of the United States. They work for the Central Banks. Once you understand WHO they are working for, then it all makes perfect sense. This is why WHO controls the money is so important and why the "FED" must be disbanded.
It would seem that someone else is finally starting to wake up – for what reason and motive is not clear, I don't take anything at face value anymore. All I know is that Goldman stock just cratered $10 a share this morning as this was released:
Feds begin criminal probe into Goldman - reportsGoldman has absolutely committed securities fraud. All that's required to commit fraud is to materially misrepresent your product or to fail to disclose meaningful positions. Goldman is not the only Investment bank guilty of this fraud, they are all guilty of it. That leaves one to wonder why the SEC is taking action now… it feels like public manipulation to me and I'm certain the real motivations are more complex. The market is going to have a difficult time gaining ground with Goldman shares plummeting.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Federal prosecutors are reportedly looking into whether Goldman Sachs has committed securities fraud.
The Securities and Exchange Committee referred its investigation of Goldman to The Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution, according to several media reports, including one by the Wall Street Journal, Thursday night. The reports cited sources familiar with the situation.
Goldman has been accused by Levin's committee of betting aggressively against the nation's housing market, making as much as $3.7 billion in the process.
Documents released by the committee this week also demonstrated that Goldman may have been engaging in other questionable practices.
Goldman has maintained that it too got hit when the U.S. housing market collapsed, losing some $1.2 billion in 2007 and 2008. It has also rejected charges that it bet against American homeowners or against its own clients.
Rather, the company has maintained it merely was trying to insulate itself from other large bets it made on residential real estate.
"We didn't have a massive short against the housing market and we certainly did not bet against our clients," said Blankfein at the hearing Tuesday.
Fabrice Tourre, the 31-year-old French trader who allegedly helped broker the investment deal that is the subject of the SEC's civil lawsuit, also appeared Tuesday. He said he planned to fight the charges brought by the federal government.
Goldman has placed the London-based Tourre on paid leave indefinitely and stripped him of some of his credentials with British regulators, however.
The Chicago PMI was just released at 63.8, a reading of 60 was expected.
The Greek debt crisis gets "solved" just about every day. And every day it seems the amount of money needed balloons:
April 30 (Bloomberg) -- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the nation's survival was at stake in talks to win a potential $159 billion European Union-led bailout that included budget cuts denounced by unions as "savage."Oh sure, piling an additional $14,500 for every man, woman, and child of Greece's 11 million people will surely make the current unserviceable debt all better, won't it? What a joke! The people rising up? They absolutely should be.
"Now, today, immediately, what is at stake is the survival of the nation," Papandreou said in parliament in Athens today. "This is the 'red line.'" He said talks with the EU and International Monetary Fund were "tough," with his government resisting "not in the street with rocks, but in negotiations."
The same exact thing IS happening here. Only ours is more stealth due to our ability to devalue our dollar. That game, however, is getting more difficult for us by the day as well. As soon as the "austerity" measures begin to set in, even the fluffed up false GDP growth will turn negative again. The real desperate acts will come as we fall during the next cycle.
Yesterday's ramp job peaked out at the 78.6% retrace level. The VIX did generate a market buy signal by closing inside of the upper Bollinger band.
Remember, this signal is a leading signal and it is very reliable. You can see that the Bollingers are now spread wide, I would not look for another VIX signal for quite some time. That said, events can always override technical indications, if Goldman breaks beneath $148 a share, for example, the market will have a difficult time making progress. Tops are a process, they take time.
As I type, Goldman shares just landed on the $148 level. A break beneath $148 will find limited support at $140, but then there's really nothing all the way back down to $100. That would not be particularly helpful to the XLF or to the broader market:
Couldn't happen to a nicer group of guys, I'm sure a lot of this theatre is playing off that sentiment. Sure, there are a lot of good songs I could choose to pile on top of Goldman, they certainly deserve it. Instead of that, though, here's one for the masses who believe in the growth story propagated by all the central bankers, our administration, the BEA, and our media…

Kim Pimmel's amazing effects created with a record turntable and some Arduino-controlled stepper motors.
I've been interested in taking my Light Study photo series and evolving them into motion pieces. I shot a lot of footage for a VJ gig for FITC San Francisco. So I edited together those stop motion sequences, mashed up some audio from the Tron Legacy trailers, and out came Light Drive.
The video is stop motion, so every frame is an individually shot photograph. Each photograph is a long exposure photo, with exposures reaching up to 20 seconds in some cases.
To control the lights, I used an Arduino controlled via bluetooth to drive a stepper motor. The stepper motor controls the movements of the lights remotely from Processing.
The light sources include cold cathode case lights, EL wire, lasers and more.
