Benefits of Flax Seeds
The benefits of flax seeds are numerous and include constipation relief, clearing up acne, smooth skin, they assist in building muscle and burning fat, they're good for heart health and they might even help with depression and arthritis.
Flax seeds are small seeds that at first glance look like the sesame seeds used on hamburger buns. They are very inexpensive and you can chew them up in their natural form. Flax seeds are high in Omega 3 oils. Omega 3 is not something the body produces on its own.
You can find flax seeds at your health food store or places that sell natural foods in bulk. Flax seed can be chewed in its seed form or you can buy vitamin supplements of flax seed oil in pill form. The seed form is much cheaper in price and you can buy a pound for just a few dollars.
Drink plenty of water when using ground up seeds or chewing the seeds. Be sure to keep the flax seeds refrigerated. And never heat flax seeds as that may cause a chemical breakdown in the seeds and could be even carcinogenic as a by-product.
When it comes to constipation, the flax seed has been proven to be very effective. Flax seeds are astringent and have a laxative action. They are good for mild to moderate symptoms of constipation. It's not as harsh on the system as some of the fiber alternatives, yet it does act quickly. You can even grind the seeds in a coffee grinder to make into a powder. You can eat the powder or add it to a nondairy smoothie, a juice, or on cereal. It's even tasty when sprinkled onto salad.
Up to 3 tablespoons twice a day should get the results you're looking for. But do be careful. Consuming an large amount of flax seeds can contribute to back up in your colon. Flax seeds also have small traces of prussic acid, which in excessive amounts is toxic. But it would take a lot of flax seeds to reach a toxic level.
Since our bodies do not produce their own Omega 3, so we need to get it from our diet. Flax seed oil capsules are high in Omega 3 (although fish oil capsules have even higher concentrations of Omega 3). Omega 3 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid which, as it passes through the digestive tract in the human body, it breaks down existing cholesterol and deposits a thin barrier to prevent its reformation.
Omega 3 works to fight against the main cholesterol deposits that cause clotting of the blood. These clots then block blood vessels causing heart attacks or strokes if they reach the brain. The American Heart Association recommends a daily intake of 1000 mg. of Omega 3 for measurable benefits in heart health.
Flax seeds can also help to clear acne. It's fatty acids that help control the production of excess androgens (hormones that peak during the teen-age years). The androgens cause excess sebum oil to clog hair follicles and can contribute to creating more acne. Because of this androgen control, flax seeds may also help with building muscle and burning fat and reducing water bloating (and possibly hair loss) that is sometimes caused through excess androgens.
Omega-3 may also be a good nutrient for the brain and concentration. Omega-3 fats seem to work by making the thin fatty membranes that surround the nerve cells in the brain more flexible. This allows more neurotransmitters to be successfully transmitted between nerve cells, increasing our ability to think faster and concentrate better. Omega-3 has also been shown to have a number of other effects that control harmful inflammation (arthritis) and even possibly prevent depression.
With flax seeds being so inexpensive, it's worth giving them a try. Your local health food store should have them or be able to tell you where to find flax seeds.

Easy Knitting Patterns - Tips For The Beginning Knitter
We all know that it's smart to start with easy knitting patterns when you're a beginner. But, frankly, how excited can you get about knitting acrylic potholders? This article will give you a few tips to start knitting happily in no time. You don't have to frustrate yourself with a complicated pattern to make something you can get excited about.
USE GREAT MATERIALS
Even a very simple garment can be wonderful if it's knit from superb materials. Wool is by far the most satisfying fiber to knit with for the beginner. It's resilient, it has natural elasticity, and it's forgiving of a beginner's varying tension. And of course it comes in a wonderful variety of colors and styles. Worsted weight is good for beginners--anything smaller than that and you'll lose patience waiting for results. One nice basic yarn you can find in many shops is Lamb's Pride, which is a wool/mohair blend that is strong and lustrous, and comes in fabulous colors. Wool/silk blends are also good for beginners, but can be expensive.
If you're in a very warm climate and you prefer to start with cotton, that's fine, but it's just not as satisfying to knit with. Cotton should be knit a little tighter than wool, so go with a slightly smaller needle as a general rule. Your knitting shop will be happy to recommend a good size needle for the yarn you pick out.
I strongly recommend against acrylic yarn--it's hard on your hands and just not satisfying, even if it feels nice in the shop.
(By the way, at the start, don't get too hung up on gauge, which is how many stitches per inch you get. Your first projects are all about developing your rhythm as a knitter and making the two basic stitches second-nature.)
START WITH A "NO-PATTERN" PATTERN
Once you have your tools and have picked out some great yarn, assuming you know the two basic stitches (knit and purl), you're ready to get going.
(If you don't know how to knit at all, and you don't have someone nearby who can show you the basics, don't despair. This is a good eBook that will walk you through everything A-Z so you can get started right away.)
For your first projects, knit simple pieces that don't depend on a lot of measurement or precision. You might knit a nice pashmina-style stole--just cast on about 200-250 stitches and knit in garter stitch (that means you knit every row, no purling) until it's 24" wide or so. You can keep this from getting boring by either working with a yarn you adore or working in stripes of several wonderful colors. (If you use several colors, make sure they're all the same brand and type of yarn. In other words, you'll want 3-5 skeins of Lamb's Pride or whatever other specific yarn you pick, in different colors.)
With circular needles, you can make a great tubular scarf that pulls up to cover your head when it's cold. (Like an oversized turtleneck, without the sweater part.) Again, cast on about 200-250 stitches, but this time join them in a circle (your knitting shop can help), then just knit until you have about 24" and cast off. Remember that you want a nice, soft yarn if you're creating something to be worn by your face. You also knit every round on this one, but because it's circular knitting, you end up with plain old knit (called stockinette) instead of garter stitch. Stockinette curls at the edges, unlike garter stitch that lies flat. Stockinette also drapes a little better.

Theatre Masks
Theatre Masks were used in ancient Roman and Greek dramas to portray characters. Each theatre mask had its own shape and color to refer to the character and the emotion. Masks of comedy and tragedy are well known and are a sign of theatre even today - one is smiling or laughing, and one is frowning or howling in misery. It is a symbol of the balance of emotions that theatre aims to strike. It is an age old tradition. However, in modern times body language, facial expressions and tone of voice have become more important factors for expressing emotions.
It is believed that well-made masks look different on different actors. A good quality theatre mask dictates to the actor. Theatre masks are made out of neoprene, an industrial latex compound. The mask made from it looks like a leather mask and is similar to leather in weight. A neoprene mask is reasonably priced as well as hard-wearing.
Nowadays, show business people pay unusual consideration to character theme kits with full-color instructions. These include latex masks, appliances, adhesives, and crème; make-up, fangs, blood, gore and more. The professional make-up artist prepares a face mask of motion-picture quality, which provides excellent realism and is built for comfort as well. These artists prepare ape-man masks, bullet-hit masks, compound-fracture-of-bones masks, demon masks, devil masks, glass attack masks, horned masks, injured noses, mummy masks, open wound, skull masks, spike masks, and vampire, werewolf, witch and zombie masks. These give the illusion of reality, and are of high quality.
