It’s been less than a month that I started eating chicken again. But in this short time I have made huge strides with Intuitive Eating! Eating more protein has really helped me be aware of my hunger and fullness. Also, now that I have meat on my radar I’ve been having cravings for random things. Like today I had a crazy need to eat hard boiled eggs! So, I made a batch and had one as a mid-morning snack.
Now it’s time for some Intuitive Eating stuff. If this isn’t your thing, please pass it on
One of the questions I get most often about Intuitive Eating is about how to Make Peace with Food. It is the third step of IE after 1.) Reject the diet mentality and 2.) Honor your hunger.
From Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Recsh’s website, this is the description of Making Peace with Food:
Call a truce, stop the food fight! Give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing When you finally “give-in” to your forbidden food, eating will be experienced with such intensity, it usually results in Last Supper overeating, and overwhelming guilt.
So if you’re here you should already have realized Diets don’t work and you’re aiming for a life style change. Also, that you should eat when you’re hungry to take care of your body. You still with me? Okay, then we can proceed…
Making peace with food is another way of saying – There are NO bad or forbidden foods.
You can no longer say, “I can’t eat brownies.” Or if you pass up birthday cake because it’s high in calories when you really want a piece – then, you’re doing it wrong.
True, there are times when you may pass up something indulgent because you don’t want to feel overly full or uncomfortable – and that is okay. But, if you are denying yourself something you really want because of the calorie count spinning through your head than you are not making peace with food.
Food is not bad. Stabbing someone is bad (unless they’re trying to steal your food, then it’s permissible). But, food shouldn’t have good or bad labels.
Healthy and un-healthy labels? Maybe. But not “good” or “bad”.
Yeah, but how do you do that?
Well, for me it was a very long process. I used to tell myself I shouldn’t eat cereal any more and in preparation to “give up” cereal I would binge on it. I probably ended up eating a week’s worth of it in one day. So, giving it up for a week was canceled out. Fanfreakingtastic.
This happened with a few different foods when I was trying to create a diet to help me lose weight. I would swear off ice cream or white bread or Clif bars only to end up eating them more because I thought I couldn’t or shouldn’t.
Finally I told myself it was all good. I could eat any food I wanted, but I should only eat it until I’m full. Since years of binging and restricting had killed my hunger signals, this was very hard.
I over ate these newly “okayed” foods sometimes. But, since I knew I could have them again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that… I didn’t feel the need to eat the whole box now.
Slowly I realized that if I eat 4 bowls of cereal I feel bloated afterwards. Plus, I’m still hungry after! And when I eat ice cream while standing in the kitchen at 4 o’clock in the afternoon I feel like crap for the rest of the night.
So, when I bought dark chocolate peanut butter cupsin October I joked that I would eat them all in one night. A lot of readers said they wouldn’t be able to control themselves if they had these in the house.
But, the reality is – they lasted for a few weeks between Ben and I. Sure I may have had one too many for dessert a few times, but I never shoved them in my mouth in an out of control binge either.
I know that if I eat 8 PB cups I’m going to feel crappy. My stomach won’t really hurt (because it’s an iron cauldron and I can really eat anything), but my energy will rise and plummet so I’m useless, and my blood sugar will want to be spiked back up and instigate me to binge.
I learned that the hard way, but now I know.
Even though I have made Peace with Food there are still times when I over do it. There are times when I amthisclose to buying the new Cinnamon Cheerios, but put them back on the shelf (even after they’re ridden around the entire store with me in happy anticipation of being eaten) because I know I’m in a bad place mentally and will eat them all that night. That happened this weekend.
So, like so many other things in healthy living it’s a balance. I let myself have full permission to eat things that were formerly forbidden like granola, ice cream, cheese. But I also try and pay attention to how I feel and how I want to feel for the rest of the day.
If I want energy to run tomorrow then I should eat a good meal for dinner. If I want to avoid binging in the afternoon I should have nut butter with breakfast. And if I don’t want to feel bloated for the rest of the night then I shouldn’t eat 4 bowls of cereal, a Vitatop with PB and a handful of chocolate chips for dessert. Not that I do that. Anymore.

Currently in the midst of organising groups to act in opposition of Trump’s agenda, we were lucky to catch Portland-based, LN-CC stocked designer Alexa Stark and get a glimpse into her conscious universe.
Alexa Stark’s clothing is a reflection of the complex age we live in, creatively balancing the practical and the spectacle in women’s design. With strong material references to sustainability, the label embodies its founder’s concerns for social justice, politics and the environment out of belief that creating awareness is a designer’s responsibility. And Alexa has a lot to teach. Currently in the midst of organising groups to act in opposition of Trump’s agenda, we were lucky to catch the Portland-based designer and get a glimpse into her universe.
What motivates you, as a designer?
– It would be a cop-out to say everything, but it’s true. I find pleasure in the subtle moments of life; a friends smile when she laughs, watching the wind blow through a forest from one section to another, crowds routinely commuting to their jobs in busy streets, and quiet corners in loud bars. And those moments arose me to contribute to the beauty of life. But what motivates my work to speak for the environment, women and small business’ is the fear of becoming complacent. I believe it is a designers’ responsibility to create awareness, whether that’s through the product itself or the message told through marketing. Art and design has the power to present to the world social justice, environmental and political views because it is in appearance to the eye or mind in every moment of our day. Through the power of social media and publications we can be seen and heard. It is our responsibility to use these tools to teach and my tool is fashion.
What is your design process? How do you get inspired each season?
– It usually takes a while to warm up after closing on a previous season. It’s not that I am at a loss of ideas or motivation but more that I need to allow myself a moment to just be. Designing is a taxing job, with not only aesthetic responsibilities but also ethical responsibility. I don’t want to make anything ugly or thoughtless. Sometimes my process is asking myself why am I doing this? Three or a thousand times a day while watching the light change from morning to night. Then suddenly I find myself waking up in the middle of the night to write and draw. From there I make clothing.
Your Instagram bio reads “Women Unite”. How does that message translate into your designs?
– I create and craft my designs with a team of amazing women and men that support female unity. My business is part of a community of businesses run by self-made, independent women working to achieve their career goals and support their families. My designs are an outward expression of the female resilience and strength I want to cultivate my life and world.
Portland seems like quite an up-and-coming place for conscious fashion? How does it compare to New York?
– I moved from NYC in 2011 in hopes to find a community that lived consciously. I wanted to find a city where sustainability was in all aspects of life. Portland is that city. Through I travel back to NYC for sourcing, sales and marketing quite a bit, I am still inspired by Portland’s way of life and it’s crucial that I am tied to both worlds.
It is a tough time for fashion, but it is in the early stages of change. I believe these changes will bring forth new opportunities for smaller brands like myself and things will only get better if I keep moving forward. I am all about the slow grow! I look forward to seeing where the next collection takes me.

When her mother dies, forty-two-year-old Ursula Gant is left shattered. Cocooning herself in grief, Ursula retreats behind a literal wall of beloved books. But not even the fictional barricade can safeguard her from a spell of hallucinations. When the wall collapses, Ursula bolts to the airport, abandoning her lover Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel's wife Cissy, a fading beauty queen, is tormented by a different sort of loss. Devastated by her husband's betrayal, Cissy boards a plane to Athens - the same plane Ursula is on. The plane crashes. In the aftermath, one of Daniel's two fleeing women disappears, her body is never recovered. The other, horribly burned, regains consciousness. But without any memory, and with an unrecogisable face, she ventures into the world alone, unloved and unknowable.

Objective: This study was designed to compare the soft tissue morphology of individuals according to their facial patterns. Methods: Were used cephalograms of 90 patients of both genders, aged 12 to 16 years, which were divided into three distinct groups, according to their morphological patterns, i.e., mesofacials, dolichofacials and brachyfacials. The groups were compared in terms of thickness and height of the upper and lower lips, and thickness of the soft tissue chin. Correlations between soft tissue variables and dental and skeletal cephalometric measurements were also investigated. Results and Conclusions: Thickness of upper lip, lower lip and soft tissue chin showed no differences in all morphological groups. However, upper and lower lip heights were significantly greater in dolichofacials. Brachyfacials showed smaller upper lip height compared with mesofacials, although no differences were found between those two groups in terms of lower lip height. Assessment of the correlations between soft and skeletal/dental variables evidenced vertical development of the upper and lower lips, commensurate with the vertical development of the skeleton. The vertical positioning of upper incisors significantly correlated with the same parameters related to the lips, which ensured a similar exposure level of these teeth in all groups.

THE BLACK CROWES OFFER FANS FREE CHRISTMAS SONG:
December 9, 2005
When the reunited Black Crowes returned to the studio for the first time in nearly five years, it wasn’t to work on material for a new album. The group recorded “Back Door Santa,” an original holiday song that it’s giving away to fans via its official Web site.
Billboard.com found the link to the free MP3 via a post from the band on the site’s message board. The soulful romp with a decidedly Stax-inspired sound was produced by George Drakoulias, who produced the band’s last studio set, 2001’s “Lions.”
As previously reported, the Black Crowes will ring in New Year by headlining New York’s Madison Square Garden. The show will also feature sets by My Morning Jacket and the North Mississippi Allstars.

Kolsch announces date for new two track Kompakt release
Kolsch is without a doubt one of the hottest names in dance music. The house and techno maestro has been dominating the scene for a good few years now, and his latest release looks set to become one of his biggest. Coming out with the 93rd Speicher release on Kompakt’s Extra imprint, the Danish master has announced two brand new tunes entitled “Grey” and “Kir”. It’s assumed based on the video preview below that the “Grey” will be the monstrous ID which the Dane has been dropping in his sets for the past six months or so.
The beast of a track features tremendous horn sounds as the main hook which sound totally savage with a ridiculously powerful kick drum behind them. This is one of those tunes that makes your entire body shake when you hear it live. Featuring a nice piano-laiden breakdown before returning to the aforementioned horns, this is a proper dance-floor destroyer and as always is top notch from Kolsch who never seems to disappoint. As of yet it’s unknown what the second track will be but we’ve no doubt it’ll be a cracker as well.
You can catch a preview of the release below directly from Kolsch’s Facebook.


: There is widespread speculation that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will announce the dissolution of Parliament today, as he marks the fourth anniversary of his prime ministership, which he assumed since April 3, 2009.
Najib will be holding the weekly Wednesday Cabinet meeting -- which could also to be final one as all ministers have been directed to wear a dark lounge suit and a red tie for a group photography session.
This is regarded as a strong hint that it could be the final cabinet meeting before the Parliament’s dissolution.
Based on tradition, the ministers will have their photos taken with the Prime Minister and his deputy before the final meeting.
However, Astro AWANI quoted Minister in the Prime Minister department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz yesterday as saying that a dissolution today were just rumours.
"Parliament is not going to be dissolved tomorrow. The dissolution is due at the end of this month," Nazri had said.
The final day for parliament to be dissolved is on April 30.
In Putrajaya, Najib is also scheduled to cycle with approximately 10,000 people this evening to mark his full four terms in office.
The Prime Minister will also be having his weekly audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara, where media men this morning await at the gates of.

Cedar Rapids Schools District Educational Leadership and Support Center
Located in Cedar Rapids, IA
Located in Cedar Rapids, IA
In this era of tight budgets, school districts are always looking for ways to use funds more efficiently. One common way to save money involves placing the central administrative facility into an existing building, either one that is purchased or one that is already owned by the district, such as an old school building that has been replaced with larger modern facility. This was the case for the Cedar Rapids Community School District, administrators worked in an old elementary school located downtown. Everything changed, however, on June 13, 2008 when the Cedar River crested at 31.12 feet, devastating much of downtown Cedar Rapids, including the district's administrative center and several district support spaces within the flood zone.
Working with architects and engineers from Shive-Hattery and representatives from the State and FEMA, the school district responded quickly by establishing a temporary facility to serve the district of 16,000 students. As this was being established, the District and Shive-Hattery formed a team to take advantage of the rare opportunity to reinvision the administrative facility from scratch—a building type for which there is little precedent.
To design such a building under very tight time constraints, Shive-Hattery expanded its "core team" organizational model to include key members of the school district administration, FEMA and state and local citizen representatives. The chemistry that developed through the sheer number and frequency of meetings resulted in a clear set of priorities: the building would be designed to last 100 years and it would maximize the efficiencies that could be gained from having all parts of the district administration – from warehouse distribution to buildings and grounds to bus maintenance to curriculum development – on the same site. The district also wanted two new spaces they had never had before: a FEMA safe room, and a Professional Development Center where district employees could meet to develop new ways to better serve the district.
Shive-Hattery designers took advantage of the sloping site by suggesting design concepts that stack some of the functions and preserve the green space of the site. The end result, the Educational Leadership and Support (ELS) Center, is a single building of 169,000 square feet that contains all departments – a warehouse and bus maintenance and storage below grade, buildings and grounds facilities along a service loop road and the administrative center located in the heart of the building acting as a strong "front door" to the district. The District immediately saw the benefit of having everyone under one roof. The public entry is flanked by two great rooms: the Board Room where school board meetings are held, and the Professional Development Center, that is divisible into 5 separate rooms for smaller functions. The ELS Center's facade of tiered glass windows opens like pages in a book to the community it serves, exhibiting the flexibility and versatility of the public meeting spaces and Professional Development Center it houses. Inside, the interior takes its cues from Grant Woods' painting entitled "Young Corn", the prized possession of a collection that the district has assembled.
To create a building that would last 100 years and meet the ever-increasing energy efficiency demands of the future, Shive-Hattery put traditional materials that have a proven track record of durability into new assemblies that would minimize air leakage and heat loss. In addition, Shive-Hattery developed and executed a building envelope testing program to measure air and water leakage and heat loss and address areas where shortcomings were found. The end result is one of the most envelope-tested 100-year facilities in the state.

1. Where to Stay
Bunk with two artists at the year-and-a-half-old Art House Bed and Breakfast (from $295) in the historically artsy Springs area of East Hampton. The owners, glass artist and painter Rosalind Brenner and mixed-media artist Michael Cardacino, built the home with customized details, including exterior stone patterns and the lavender-bordered pool, and they’ll happily show you their studios and sell work off the walls.
Find Nordic influences at c/o The Maidstone (from $225) a 150-year-old East Hampton inn that last year re-opened under new, Swedish ownership with colorful décor and rooms inspired by the likes of Alfred Nobel and Edvard Munch. The public spaces function as galleries that feature rotating photography exhibits, and there’s free yoga every morning in the Buddha garden.
Immerse yourself in the stylish scene at the newly reopened Capri (from $195), where you can buy the art displayed in public areas or at the Cynthia Rowley-curated shop through a partnership with the website Exhibition A. The modern-nautical rooms are all huddled around the pool, which turns into a lounge at night with a DJ spinning on the deck.
Get some art history with breakfast at Blakes B&B, (77 Pantigo Rd., East Hampton; 631-324-1815; from $179 with two-night minimum), an 1810 shingled farmhouse owned by Jeanie Blake, a 30-year veteran of the New York gallery world. Her four-room inn is filled with art by friends like Keith Sonnier, Brice Marden, and Mark di Suvero.
2. Where to Eat
Stop by newly opened Little Red for grilled cheese with brie, slow-roasted duck, braised cabbage, and Dijon ($24) paired with one of their local wines on tap, like Paumanok Chenin Blanc ($12), made on the North Fork in Aquebogue. The red-and-white interior is filled with abstract oil paintings by local artist Mark Humphrey, whose gallery is on Main Street, and you can also grab an order of fish and chips ($26) to enjoy lakeside in nearby Agawam Park.
Choose from five options (from $11), including vegan and mako shark, prepared by James Beard nominee Alan Hughes at the new Banzai Burger. Or order from the sushi bar, where chef Isao Yoshimura turns fluke and black sea bass he catches himself into sashimi ($17). After dinner, drink $4 PBRs and play a game of pick-up ping-pong in the gravel courtyard.
Try to get a table at the new Southampton outpost of Sag Harbor’s popular Tutto Il Giorno (56 Nugent St.; 631-377-3611), where you can enjoy refined dishes like whole branzino served with a fennel and cherry tomato relish ($33). Part-owner Gabby Karan De Felice (daughter of Donna Karan) designed the modern space, filling it with paintings from local artists and some from Haiti as a nod to her mom’s initiative to support the country at her Urban Zen shop in Sag Harbor.
3. What to Do
Find secondary-market Warhol prints and John Chamberlain sculptures with ease at East Hampton’s new Gallery Valentine, an offshoot of a Palm Beach gallery. For newer work, go to the year-old Eric Firestone Gallery, which shows contemporary art and photography with a focus on pop culture, street art, and graphic works. This summer, the gallery commissioned Ryan McGinness and Shepard Fairey, among others, to paint U.S. Air Force nose-cones that gallery-owner Firestone gathered from the Arizona desert.
Head away from the center of town to LOCAL 87, a new gallery by established book-and-art dealers Glenn Horowitz and John McWhinnie, whose two other locations are down the road. McWhinnie runs the space, which showcases established Hamptons artists (Matthew Satz, Nick Weber, Jamison Ellis, and Peter Dayton) alongside international-caliber artists he represents in his Upper East Side location, such as Richard Prince. Browse the artist catalogues McWhinnie publishes and don’t miss the collectible porn section in back, which features first volumes of late-’60s erotica magazines Sugar and Psychedelic.
Stop into the summer-season space Halsey Mckay Gallery a few doors down. It was opened in May by curator Hilary Schaffner and painter Ryan Wallace; the two are showing installations, mixed-media work, and more by edgy, emerging artists, many from Brooklyn. They’re also trying to cultivate a community: See if you can swing an invite to their monthly artist dinners celebrating openings held in area homes and cooked by Wallace’s wife, who’s a chef at raw foods restaurant The Juicy Naam in Sag Harbor.
4. Insider’s Tip
Join in-the-know art lovers at the fifties-modern home of Esperanza León, which also houses her SOLAR gallery (hours are by appointment and openings are by reservation only). The Venezuela-born gallerist gave up her East Hampton gallery space six years ago and has been hosting bi-monthly openings and artist talks for emerging Latin American artists in her home ever since. Don’t miss the “Artists on Artists” discussions, when she invites local artists to lead discussions of the work on view, or her sporadic tours of local artists’ studios.
5. Oddball Day
Spend a day outside the galleries and enjoy the outdoors. Start with a walk along Accabonac Road in the Springs area of East Hampton, where the abstract expressionist movement began in the 1940s, or join the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society for a free, guided walk of the area, including the Pollock-Krasner House, where Jackson Pollock lived and worked. Make an appointment in advance for a tour ($5-$10) of the house and studio ($5-$10). Afterward, head over to Green River Cemetery (Accabonac Road and Lilla Lane, East Hampton) where you’ll find Pollock’s signature on a huge rock, large film reels signifying the grave of a filmmaker Stan Vanderbeek, and the resting places of various other artists and creatives with ties to the area. Head to Amagansett for a hearty lobster roll on house-made brioche ($21) in the funky Sea Slug Lounge at Fish Farm Multi-Aquaculture Systems (429 Cranberry Hole Rd.; 631-267-3341). Bring a bottle of wine and grab a spot at a picnic table with a view of Gardners Bay. Afterward, detour to the Bargain Box Thrift Shop and scour the racks for Jil Sander, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and other designer discards, and get the clerk to open the Furniture Barn out back. End your day with a rum and tonic ($12.50) on the porch of 165-year-old The American Hotel in Sag Harbor, a historical gathering spot for area intellectuals. Spend some time sitting under the smoking moose-head in the clubby tap room and order a glass from what Wine Spectator calls one of the most extensive wine cellars in the world. On Sunday evenings, an artsy crowd of locals gathers for cocktails, including painter Donald Sultan, filmmaker Max Scott, sculptor Elaine Grove, and photographer Jane Martin.
Plan for your trip by watching videos at Plum TV Hamptons to see what’s new this summer. The luxury media company also puts out Plum Hamptons, a glossy you can pick up at stores in the area.
Pick up Voyeur, a full-color newsprint arts magazine put out by The Sag Harbor Express newspaper for commentary on local exhibits.

From The Wall Street Journal: Robin Williams and Dario Pegoretti: The Comedian and the Bike Builder
by Jason Gay
By now, you may have heard that Robin Williams was a cycling fanatic. He loved the sport—its history, its
pageantry, its champions magnificent and raffish.
He was also a devoted rider, and adored the machinery. Williams collected bikes of all types, but he was
passionate about one brand in particular: Pegoretti. If you know bicycles, you probably know Pegorettis.
Custom-made in Italy by master builder Dario Pegoretti, who built frames for cycling icons such as Miguel
Indurain, they are wild pieces of art, almost always steel, colorfully painted by hand. They're also serious
road machines. Imagine riding a high-performance Basquiat. That's a Pegoretti.

His ideas are frankly juvenile and "Lovely Bones" lacks bite even given its PG-13 rating. The film is based on the novel by Alice Sebold, about fourteen year-old murder victim Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), who observes her healing family from the Heavenly equivalent of limbo while learning to come to terms with death herself. What feels as though it should be a solemn contemplation on loss is often punctuated by staunchly optimistic tonal aberrations. When Jackson has an underage driver and her asphyxiating brother on his hands, he somehow can't help but romanticize their spin in the family convertible. The kids blow by mom (Rachel Weisz) and dad (Mark Wahlberg), who shoot each other a clueless "couldn't be!" sort of look straight out of "Home Alone." Or later, there's a rockin' seventies montage where boozy grandma (Susan Sarandon) charmingly ruins dinner and botches the laundry, turning the washroom into a sudsy dance floor for she and her grandson. Really.
It's moments like these that underscore the weird dichotomy of "Lovely Bones." It's a movie about murder in which we never witness a murder, and a movie about grieving in which grieving, when explored at all, amounts to euphemistic cliche. Dad smashes his precious ship-in-a-bottle collection in a fit of rage; mom leaves home for California to pick oranges or something; Grandma lights another cigarette; Susie's siblings don't seem much bothered at all.
You'll have to bear with me if this next comparison seems inapt, but I've been watching a lot of "Twin Peaks," and the early-nineties TV series is a perfect counterpoint to Jackson's sentimentality. The premises are nearly identical, with murdered teens prompting police inquiry and family crises. Mark Frost and David Lynch's series, however, dredges its characters to the precarious edge of hell in their grief, reducing Laura Palmer's parents to shrieking, sobbing loons. By comparison, the Salmons are positively stoic. Their grief is never made palpable, and so our emotional investment in their story is compromised.
If this leads one to ask where the drama went, or what was pulling Peter Jackson's heartstrings in taking on the film, the answer is abundantly clear--it's the lavish effects sequences. I can imagine no other reason the project piqued his interest, and he makes his priorities known even at the expense of a more focused film. He easily loses himself in spherical digital meadows, bottled ship smattered oceans, and all manner of other vaguely surreal and uniformly irrelevant scenes.
The thesis of the film, that new life and new connections foster in death, that there is beauty even in unspeakable horror, I find compelling. It's probably the reason for Jackson's bleating optimism in sequences like those described above, misguided though it may be. He stretches for the positive, even when a downer is what we really need. Holding the audience at arms length, he spoon-feeds us everything except the part of the story that's actually important. It's sort of weird to show Susie Salmon frolicking in a pristine garden after her death; it undercuts the gravity of what's been done to her. To juxtapose heaven with hell on earth is really the only way for the film to work, and Jackson doesn't have the gall to honestly portray the wrenching emotion of the scenario. From an objective filmmaking standpoint, he makes an admirable jab, but he simply isn't making the right movie.

The Open Broadcaster Software (OBS for short) project aims to provide a totally free, open-source option for video recording and live streaming software.
If you’re a live-streamer or interested in trying streaming and you don’t have the cash to shell out for another popular option like StreamYard, OBS could be just the tool you need to get started with your streaming project.
Today, we’re going to dive into a popular feature for streamers of all sorts: Backgrounds, and see how OBS stacks up, keep reading to find out!
Here’s What you Can Do with Backgrounds in OBS
The Open Broadcaster Software project allows you to add solid colors, images, or videos to be used as backgrounds for your stream.
You can downsize your video feed to display over the backgrounds, or you can use a green screen to filter out your real-life backdrop and replace it with any custom background.
With third-party hardware and/or software, you can replace your background without a green screen, though it is not as effective.
RELATED: Options for backgrounds with StreamYard.
What Options Do You Have in OBS for Replacing your Background?
If you’re used to using software like StreamYard or other options on the market, you might be a little confused upon first trying out OBS.
The advantage of OBS is that—being open source—the possibilities are nigh-endless and limited only by the creativity of all the people using and making resources for OBS.
The downside, however, is that it may not be as immediately user-friendly as paid software tailor-made to consumers.
But while they might not be immediately apparent, you have tons of options for backgrounds in OBS, and we’re going to walk you through all of them.
A simple, no-nonsense option is to simply choose a solid color to fill your stream’s background with. For this feature, you need only hit the “+” button in the “Sources” menu and choose “add color source.”
From here, you can choose any color on the visible spectrum for your background!
Once you’ve picked your color and added the source, make sure that you set it “under” your video feed so that it acts as a proper background rather than obscuring your video feed.
You can also resize this background if you don’t want it to fit the entire screen, or use it as a backdrop to put text over.
Like many things with OBS, the possibilities are limited only by your savvy and imagination here.
Better get used to that “Sources” box, because this seems to be where all your background options come from in OBS.
Go ahead and hit that plus button again, and this time, choose “image source.”
Now, simply browse your files for the image you’d like to use as a background and select it! Just as with the color source, be sure that you move the image layer under your video feed so that it acts as a background.
Unlike StreamYard and similar platforms, OBS does not come with its own pre-packaged background images and requires you to upload your own. This of course means you can use any custom image you desire, but if you want some ideas to get started, browse the OBS forums for fellow streamers sharing user-generated content!
As you might slowly be figuring out here, the “Sources” box covers basically any kind of image or video you want to add to your stream layout. This includes the actual video feed for your stream, but you can also add additional video sources to use as animated backgrounds!
Simply press that familiar plus button, and select “video source.”
Now, you’re going to want a short (30 seconds or less is usually good), loop-able video (best if the ending of the video is the same as the beginning) for this purpose. If you have one in mind, go ahead and select it, check the “loop” box, and set your new video source layer below your main video feed.
Voila, video background!
Considering video backgrounds require a particular kind of video to work well (short length, matching ending and beginning, unobtrusive/not too flashy), you might not be sure what to use. But as with background images, ask around the OBS forums and you’re sure to get some helpful pointers and maybe even ready-to-go video backgrounds made by other users!
Can OBS Insert a Blurred Background?
The quality or blurriness of your background will depend on the resolution and quality of the image source you use.
If you want a blurry image for stylistic reasons, you can save your image at a much lower resolution than it started to get the blur effect.
If the blurriness is something you’re trying to avoid, and you’re finding that a good-looking image gets blurry when you add it as a source to OBS, you probably need a higher-resolution image.
Can I Use my Green Screen with OBS?
You absolutely can use a green screen with OBS!
Or a blue screen or another color, for that matter.
Whatever color backdrop works best for you, make sure it’s set up behind you and that you aren’t casting any sharp shadows or making any bright spots on the screen with your lights; even lighting is key.
As for actually using the green screen in OBS, it can be a little confusing if you’ve never done it before, so follow this step-by-step guide below to get started:
- Right-click on your main camera feed in the “sources” box.
- Click on the “filters” option.
- Click the “+” icon at the bottom of the “effects” area in the menu that appears.
- Click the “chroma-key” option in the effects menu.
- Rename the filter if you wish, or simply hit enter to use the default name.
- By default, the color selector for your chroma-key filter should be set to “green.” If you are using a blue screen or another color of backdrop, select the relevant option from the drop-down menu instead. If you are using a green screen, leave it set to “green.”
- Play with the sliders until your backdrop is fully filtered out.
- If your backdrop is not filling the entire screen, click your video source and then drag and drop the edges of the box that appears around it to crop out any exposed edges.
Once you’ve followed the above guide, any color, video, or image source that you’ve put under your camera feed will fill the space behind you where your backdrop was!
Do I need a Green Screen to Replace my Background?
For the most effective virtual background replacement, a green (or blue, or magenta…) screen is recommended.
However, while they aren’t nearly as effective at filtering out your background as chroma-key software and a solid color backdrop, there are several options for removing your background.
Sadly, however, we were not able to find any options that come pre-packaged in OBS for free that will remove your background without a green screen.
Options certainly exist, but they all involve paid third-party hardware or software.
A review of all the different options out there is out of the scope of this article, but what we can say for now is they’re certainly out there.
Green screens can be a pain to set up, so it’s understandable to look for other options when you want to replace your background, but the truth is this is still a relatively new technology and full of bugs, flaws, and quirks.
Even if you invested in one of the special webcams and/or software packages that allow you to virtually remove your background without a green screen, you might be disappointed in the results.
In other words, if you have the space for a proper green screen set up, we’d highly recommend going that route until virtual background technology improves a bit more.
Can you Insert your Own Background?
Absolutely! In fact, inserting your own background is all you can do, since OBS does not come pre-packaged with background images or videos for you to use.
To get the most out of the OBS experience, we recommend browsing the wiki and spending some time with the helpful community on the forums.
You might also want to check whether your computer can actually run OBS.
What Is the Optimal Resolution and Format of Images for Backgrounds?
A good rule of thumb with background images is that you want them to look good on the largest possible screen the average viewer of your stream might be using.
To accomplish this, a resolution of 1920 x 1080 is ideal, but if you go smaller than that, just be sure and keep the aspect ratio to 16:9.
Further, you might want to avoid shapes like circles or spheres in your background image/video, as if someone views your stream on a screen of a different aspect ratio than your background image, circular shapes will show the most obvious stretching effect.
Can you Put a Video as your Background?
Absolutely! We covered this in our overview of background options, but a video file is just one of many options you have when adding a “source” to be used as your background.
Just make sure the video is relatively short (30 seconds or so is generally good), and that the ending matches the beginning for effective looping.
Streaming to Multiple Platforms
This can also sometimes cause issues. We have a dedicated article about streaming to multiple platforms with OBS.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany later reminded everybody why they might need an army to walk the streets of New York City:
In response to @NYGovCuomo saying Pres Trump "better have an army" to protect him if he visits NYC, @PressSec cites number of shootings there and calls it a naked admission that Cuomo is a "failure" and "lost control of his state."

Cuomo walked right into this one:

That way, I retain as much of the blues in the sky as possible, and as much of the detail in the clouds w/o blowing out highlights. Then I lift the shadows in post to get the details that initially appear lost, depending on the dynamic range of the sensor to do its job. Excellent job on the post processing.

DALLAS -- When it comes to Spanish culture, Dia de los Muertos has a little more to it than just sugar skull face paint.
The celebration is usually a three-day festival; from the October 31st to November 2nd in many Latin American countries. But the tradition actually originated in Mexico.
"It marked a new era when the Españole’s conquered Mexico. Since then, Day of the Dead existed. Especially the bread, the pan de muerto represents the body of the beloved ones we pray for during the festivities,” says Manuel Tellez, owner of Maroches Bakery.
The festivities go on all throughout Central America, as well as the United States. They have even made their way to the Bishop Arts District in Dallas for the annual "Dia de los Muertos Festival."
"This is the third year that I’ve done the Day of the Dead, I met Manual here in Oak Cliff at his bakery and he invited me to come and participate and I’ve had a business selling things from Oaxaca for probably about 8 years,” says Delia Beltran, a local vendor.
Day of the dead is kind of like Halloween in the states but a little more spiritual.
"As you can see at the altar de muertos, it’s a collective from different artists, different people gathering together photos, different art from parents, grandfathers, and nephews. Some of them have passed away but this is the art they did when they were alive,” says Tellez.
With all proceeds for the event going to Oak Cliff non-profits, it looks like everyone will be in good spirits.


Genre Based Apps And Why They’re Better Than CinemaBox
There’s a lot of praise that is heaped on CinemaBox, MovieBox and Play View, and other apps of the same genres. Their praise revolves around the aspect that they’re free, though they also sport great movies and TV show titles. And while not all movies might get you value for the ticket money, there are apps available on the Play Store and the App Store that can get you a lot more entertainment. And quality entertainment, at that!
Which apps, you ask?
There are tens of apps like Snag Films, Yidio and Viewster, among others, that are centered on niches. Too often, users of the free apps have sported particular choices and tastes, such as Action films only, or more often a disdain for certain film types, like those who don’t like anything with comedy, or who don’t appreciate mainstream narrations of romance. And it is here that genre specific apps make themselves known.
A case study of two of these apps
Let’s take two apps in view. Snag Films is all about movies and content that you wouldn’t usually come across. They have movies with big stars which didn’t get popular, like ones whose stories weren’t crafted with commercial aspects in mind. They have movies from outside the English speaking world, for those looking for alternate perspectives on the commonest to the rarest of things, from sex and romance to culture and rite. There are even documentaries on rock musicians replete with fresh perspectives, films with dark themes or endings and short films. Where do you find this material?
Viewster is another app which does carry the usual crop of Hollywood movies, but focuses on Anime. Anime and animation are its two specialities, which happens to be quite in demand. Shows you wouldn’t get on the best of the “Free movie online apps” are easily found on apps like Viewster. It even helped me discover amazing new series to follow! Anime is a genre with a humongous following and yet, it is to be found only on Anime.
The problem with Free movie online apps
The problem with these Free movie online apps is that they rely too much on the tried and tested formulae of getting traffic. They’re all about the latest Spiderman movie, which is of course available in the worst prints in the first week of the release. In midst of all that hullabaloo, we miss out on the charming movies that fall under other genres. There are tens of movies releasing every month that people are going to go gaga over. But there are gems that come out only so often, and we tend to miss them.
And so, while I might get to stay updated on the latest releases on CinemaBox or Terrarium TV, Snag Films caters to my taste of Rock documentaries and Film Noir. My friend who is an Anime fan can only get so much entertainment out of the latest romcom. There is surely a whole lot of traffic for the latest dystopic-future based action film, but there are thousands who would rather watch a film biography of Harvey Milk or Amy Winehouse. As expected, Milk and Amy aren’t to be found on most of these free movie apps, except Terrarium TV (God bless you Terrarium TV! Garageband for pc). And so, I’m not impressed by CinemaBox and friends. I’ll take Yidio and Hulu any day!

In the Middle Ages and Counter-Reformation, some saw Mary as almost "divine". She was placed on a pedestal and removed from ordinary life experiences. Johnson suggests that we "ask Mary to rejoin us on the ground". Drawing from Scripture, especially the Magnificat, tradition, and Vatican II, Johnson describes Mary as God's friend and prophet. She shows that Mary is not well served when she is portrayed as the maternal face of God, or as the ideal woman or eternal feminine.

Relatives of the victims of South Korea’s ferry disaster wept amid angry scenes in court yesterday as prosecutors played video footage of the sinking vessel during the murder trial of the captain and crew.
The video, taken from coastguard boats and helicopters, showed the last moments of the 6,825 tonne Sewol ferry as it listed and then capsized on April 16 with the loss of about 300 lives.
Among the dead were about 250 students from the same high school in Ansan, just south of Seoul.
Dozens of family members were in the courtroom in the southwestern city of Gwangju and many wept openly at the scenes of passengers desperately trying to escape the ship.
They also jeered and shouted in anger at the 15 defendants when the video showed closeup shots of the captain and some crew members jumping from the sinking ferry into a rescue boat.
Captain Lee Joon-seok and three senior crew members are accused of “homicide through willful negligence” — a charge that can carry the death penalty.
The 11 other crew are being tried on lesser violations of maritime law.
The bulk of the charges arise from the fact that Lee and the others chose to abandon the ferry while hundreds of people were still trapped inside.
They were also condemned for ordering the passengers to remain where they were when the ship began listing.
Before the video footage was shown, prosecutors had used a model of the Sewol to show where most of the passengers were when it ran into trouble.
In particular, they noted the location of many of the student victims, who, on the orders of the crew, had remained in their cabins on the fourth level.
“With timely evacuation efforts, these students could have fled through these exits,” one prosecutor said, pointing to the model. “But almost all of them waited in their cabins and died. We will make it clear that this result was caused by the behavior of the defendants.”
The atmosphere in the court was highly charged. At one point the mother of one student victim rushed out in tears and could be heard weeping loudly in the hallway.
When the judge ordered a 10 minute break, another family member screamed at the defendants: “You sons of bitches. I’ll kill you.”
As the court adjourned for lunch, one of the fathers stood and began to harangue the judge.
“The evidence is clear. They are human scum,” the father shouted.
“We should just drown them all,” he said, pointing to the defendants. “Why do we need more evidence?”
Even as the judge admonished him for the outburst, other relatives joined in and one woman had to be restrained as she tried to hurl her shoes at the dock.
Lee and his crew were publicly vilified in the wake of the tragedy and there have been some expressions of concern about how fair their trial can be with emotions still running so high.
Yesterday’s hearing coincided with the release of a damning report into the sinking by the state auditor, which said official negligence, corruption and greed had combined in a “manmade disaster.”
The ferry owners had placed “monetary gain over passenger safety,” while the crew had acted “irresponsibly,” said the report, which was the result of a two month investigation.
It recommended that 11 government officials be put on trial and disciplinary hearings held for about 40 others.
‘CONFESSED’: A court in Beijing said that former CCP member Ren Zhiqiang abused his power at a state firm and embezzled almost US$7.14 million of public funds A Chinese tycoon who called Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) a clown and criticized his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was yesterday jailed for 18 years for corruption, bribery and embezzlement of public funds. Ren Zhiqiang (任志強) — once among the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) inner circle — disappeared from the public eye in March, shortly after penning an essay that lambasted Xi’s pandemic response. His outspokenness had earned the former chairman of state-owned property developer Huayuan Group the nickname “Big Cannon.” Yesterday’s verdict said that Ren embezzled almost 50 million yuan (US$7.4 million) of public funds and accepted bribes worth 1.25 million
AUSTRALIAN SITE: China has had a contract with SSC’s Yatharagga station since at least 2011, but the last time it used it was in June 2013. No final date has been given China would lose access to a strategic space tracking station in Western Australia when its contract expires, the facility’s owners said, a decision that cuts into Beijing’s expanding space exploration and navigational capabilities in the Pacific region. The Swedish Space Corp (SSC) has had a contract allowing Beijing access to the satellite antenna at the station since at least 2011. The station is located next to an SSC satellite station primarily used by the US and its agencies, including NASA. The Swedish state-owned company said it would not enter into any new contracts at the Australian site to support Chinese customers after
OFF BORDER ISLAND: The fisheries official disappeared from a patrol vessel wearing a life jacket and leaving behind his shoes, indicating an intentional move, Seoul said North Korean soldiers shot dead a suspected South Korean defector at sea and burned his body as a COVID-19 precaution after he was interrogated in the water over several hours, Seoul military officials said yesterday. It is the first killing of a South Korean citizen by North Korean forces for a decade, and comes with Pyongyang at high alert over the COVID-19 pandemic and inter-Korean relations at a standstill. The fisheries official disappeared from a patrol vessel near the western border island of Yeonpyeong on Monday, the official said. More than 24 hours later, North Korean forces located him in their waters and
The scarcity of commercial flights landing at Sydney Airport has been a disaster for airlines and workers, but for hobby pilots the COVID-19 pandemic has provided the opportunity of a lifetime. The quieter-than-usual runways mean that private pilots have been given the chance to land at the international airport for the first time. When Sydney Flight College club captain Tim Lindley put out a call, he received an overwhelming response. He eventually organized for 14 light aircraft to fly into Sydney airport on Sunday. “For a lot of the pilots involved, including myself, it was a childhood dream to land in a big

We are delighted to say that we have secured the first of our funding! So we’re not hanging about, and are making a start on the roof repairs. This will make us watertight, which is brilliant news as it means there won’t be any more buckets in the hall when it rains!
We were delighted to be awarded £25,000 from Blackstone Edge Community Wind Farm Fund. This starts off our fundraising and it will also pay for a new flat roof and insulation at the back of the Leisure Centre, new A-rated windows on the front of the building, and energy efficient LED lighting in the main hall. It’s a great start, but there is still a long way to go, to get us to tip-top condition!
We have other grants in the pipeline to pay for various different elements of the refurbishment/build, but we will soon be launching a major fundraising campaign, to pay for all the things that the grants/funding won’t cover. So now is the time to start emptying those pockets, checking down the back of the sofa or thinking about bungee jumping/climbing a mountain/chucking yourself out of a plane on our behalf!
It is going to take the community pulling together to help us finish this ambitious project, but we know that we have the support of a great many people locally. We are after all, ‘Led by the community, for the community’.
Check back soon for more news about Penistone Leisure Centre’s Big Build Fund…

The Government will consult with Māori over the next few months before engaging with the wider public on indigenous rights, in the wake of He Puapua controversy.
Māori Development Minister Willie Jackson announced on Thursday the next steps in developing a national plan to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
It comes after months of controversy sparked by National and ACT over He Puapua, a Government report commissioned in 2019 that sets out a roadmap to co-governance between the Crown and Māori by 2040.
National leader Judith Collins accused the Government of a "separatism by stealth" agenda, after plans were set in motion for a Māori Health Authority as well as Māori wards in local councils, both of which were recommended in the report.
Collins vowed to keep probing Labour's Māori 'co-governance' plans despite Newshub polling in May showing 44.5 percent of Kiwis thought National was being divisive and the Māori Party accusing her of racism.
Paradoxically, the report was commissioned as a response to the former National-led Government signing New Zealand up in 2010 to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People.
Jackson, speaking at Ngā Whare Waatea Marae in Auckland, said the time is right to develop a plan that measures progress in advocating for Māori in real and "meaningful ways".
"This must reflect New Zealand and it's an important conversation for us to all have together as a nation," he said. "As we have previously said, He Puapua is not Government policy nor the basis of a declaration plan. Instead it is a starting point for discussion."
The Government will work through a two-step process, which will begin with targeted engagement over the next few months with iwi and Māori organisations on how they wish to be involved. This will be followed by wider public consultation.
Jackson pointed out that New Zealand is one of 148 countries that support the Declaration. Globally, he said, there is increased momentum to improve outcomes for indigenous peoples in areas such as health, education, and housing.
"This Government is focused on improving the wellbeing of Māori communities, addressing inequity issues for Māori and fulfilling our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and this is one part of that mahi.
"We will report back to Cabinet at critical points and expect to have a draft Declaration plan for wider public consultation next year."
In a speech at the marae, Jackson said Kiwis have nothing to fear.
"The Declaration was never meant to divide us. It is not a tool for separatism. It is not something to be afraid of. That's what's made the recent uproar both confusing and disappointing."
"Confusing," he said, "because we were so proud when Dr [Pita] Sharples signed the agreement, when the National Government committed to developing a plan to implement it.
"And disappointing that there has been a U-turn from that more positive approach to indigenous rights and the continuation and expansion of work that governments of both colours have been working on for years."
The aim is to develop a draft Declaration plan by the end of this year to take out to wider public consultation in 2022. Following this wider public consultation the Government would look to sign off on a final plan by the end of 2022.
ACT leader David Seymour, who first raised concerns about He Puapua in Parliament by asking Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern if the Government planned to act on the recommendation of a separate Māori Parliament - which she ruled out - said Kiwis should have the same rights.
"Since the National Party signed us up to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples thinking it wouldn't matter, New Zealanders have faced a decade of deception.
"ACT was not told under the 'no surprises' policy that National was doing this. National was in bed with the Māori Party and ACT was blindsided and vehemently opposed it.
"The current Government commissioned He Puapua, then tried to suppress it instead of practicing open Government, until ACT unmasked it in Parliament.
"ACT has seen documents in which the Declaration Working Group asks the Māori Development Minister multiple times to release it. The Prime Minister protested that it was not Government policy.
"If ACT hadn't brought this issue to Parliament in April and questioned Jacinda Ardern about it, nobody would know about He Puapua. If National hadn't blindsided ACT by signing up... we wouldn't be here today."
