Flax seed oil comes from a blue flowering plant that is found on the Western Canadian prairies. This natural oil also known as Linseed oil and considered to be nature's richest source of omega-3 fatty acids and is perfect for the general well-being of your body.
Flax seed oil also contains omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids, vitamin B, potassium, fiber, magnesium and zinc.
It is a perfect ingredient if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne as the essential fatty acids help to heal your skin. Flax seed oil contains anti-inflammatory actions and soothing properties that help prevent red itchy patches of eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. If you suffer from acne the essential fatty acids help with the thinning of the oily sebum which clogs pores.
Flax seed oil not only helps with inflammation but is helps protect your body against high blood pressure, water retention and even helps lower cholesterol.
As flax seed oil contains a huge amount of omega-3 fatty acids it has been proven to help promote hair growth, which can sometimes be a problem if you suffer from psoriasis or eczema.
The anti-inflammatory properties of flax seed oil can also help nourish dry or brittle nails and can also stop them from splitting and cracking.
The essential fatty acids in flax seed oil can assist in the transmission of nerve impulses which can help prevent numbness and tingling which can be associated with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system. It can also help protect against the nerve damage associated with diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
As you can see flax seed oil has numerous benefits that can help with skin and health conditions. If you suffer from one of these conditions or want to improve your health then it's definitely worth trying flax seed oil today.

Let it blow
The Sims series will always have expansion packs. It's part of the experience to slowly add more content to the game. Usually these packs add active content like new town locations, new interactions, or new career paths for your sims. Seasons adds a little bit of this stuff, but it's mostly a passive expansion in that it adds things to the background of the sims' lives.
Seasons mostly does what you would expect. It adds seasons, weather, and holidays to the game. While it's neat to have these features, I'll just come out and say that it's not worth forty bucks.
The Sims 3: Seasons (PC [reviewed], Mac)
Developer: EA Play / The Sims Studio
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Released: November 13, 1012
Fall, winter, spring, and summer. Sims will get to experience all four seasons and the changing weather. Winter is cold and full of snow, and sims can make snowmen or snow angels, they can snowboard, or they can build an igloo for a little winter "Woo-Hoo" (that's gotta be cold and uncomfortable). A new outerwear section has been added to clothing options, which sims will automatically change into when they go outside depending on the temperature. If they don't wear outerwear in the cold, they can start to freeze and they will eventually die (I checked, of course). Sims can also catch a cold now and spread it around with germs.
In the summer, your sims can get a tan if they stay outside in the sun for long enough, and if it is really hot, they will switch to their bathing suits to keep cool. Jumping into water can also help sims keep cool. This is worth knowing, because sims can get sunburned and eventually burst into flames if they stay out in the heat for too long (I checked this too).
As for fall and spring, these seasons are really bland and serve as transitions between the other ones. It's pretty much just like real life.
Weather effects are very nice to look at, and sims respond to them well. When it's raining, they pull out umbrellas and are afraid of lightning, and when it's snowing, they leave footprints in the snow. It's a welcome visual upgrade to the game's engine.
Holidays that match real-world holidays have been introduced. Sims can go on dates on "Love Day," exchange presents on "Snowflake Day," or go trick-or-treating on "Spooky Day." Holidays are fun and it's neat to have some day-specific actions that you can do. It's a good touch that helps make the feeling of these seasons more meaningful to the lives of your sims. Winter would be lame if it didn't involve Christmas.
When you install Seasons and run it for the first time, one of the parks will be converted into a festival ground. Each seasons has a festival where sims can go and win prizes by completing events like hot-dog eating, ice-skating, playing soccer, or bobbing for apples. The problem with these festivals is that they are too alike. The events change, but if a sim goes once and does everything, there really isn't a need to go back again.
This actually highlights a really big issue I have with The Sims franchise in general: any action is merely a new contextual menu option. I never feel like I am doing anything new. Sure, there are new animations, but the gameplay is always the same. Click on a thing, pick the thing you want to do, and watch something happen. A lot of the time the resulting actions are never that visibly different. It's great that the sims can do new stuff, but I really want EA to make me feel like I am doing something new.
Each of these features adds a nice layer of depth to the game, but they really don't add a lot of new gameplay. There isn't any new career to follow, there aren't any exciting new public lots, and while playing, I pretty much just goofed around waiting for the seasons to change. If you find yourself playing The Sims 3 a lot anyway, then Seasons will add something to the experience. If you are waiting for a new expansion to make you get back into playing The Sims 3, however, skip Seasons and wait for the next one.
The Sims 3: Seasons reviewed by Joshua Derocher
An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really.

RCS Capital (RCAP) said early Monday that FINRA has approved its $1.15 billion purchase of Cetera Financial's broker-dealer operations, which include about 6,600 independent financial advisors.
Meanwhile, RCAP affiliate American Realty Capital Properties (ARCP) reportedly is in talks to buy NorthStar Realty Finance Corp., according to Bloomberg. NorthStar is a loan originator and manager of commercial real estate debt.
ARCP, led by Nicholas Schorsch, bought Cole Real Estate Investments last year. Schorsch also is executive chairman of RCAP. (Schorsch is named in the IA 25 for 2014.)
Realty Capital announced its deal with Cetera in January and says it "expects to close the Cetera acquisition in the coming days in accordance with the merger agreement."
The company is also buying Investor's Capital (ICH), J.P. Turner and Summit Brokerage Services—giving it about 9,000 reps and roughly $200 billion in assets.
"This creates one of the most powerful capital accumulation machines on the globe," Schorsch said, when the Cetera deal was announced earlier this year. "It will attract the best and brightest financial advisors, and with $3.1 billion in revenue brings us close to LPL Financial (LPLA) and puts us ahead of others in the business."
Cetera was formed in 2010 following the sale of three ING broker-dealers; it includes four platforms — Cetera Advisors, Cetera Advisor Networks, Cetera Financial Institutions and Cetera Financial — and is led by CEO and President Valerie Brown.
In June 2013, RCAP Holdings shared the news that it was buying First Allied Securities and the Legend Group from Lovell Minnick Partners. (RCAP Holdings owns Realty Capital Securities, which is the wholesale broker-dealer and affiliate of American Realty Capital Properties.)
A request for a statement on the two deals was declined by RCAP and ARCP.

It's no secret that the super rich like to have the best of everything: classic cars, private jets, megahomes and megayachts, but the secret places they go to make these purchases will surprise you. We know there are businesses that cater to these wealthy connoisseurs' every need, but you may expect these purveyors of luxury to be in cities where billionaires live and play.
More billionaires live in Moscow, New York, Hong Kong, London and Istanbul than anywhere else in the world, according to Forbes. There are 349 billionaires with a total net worth of more than 1 trillion dollars in those cities alone.
But, if you're looking to buy a megayacht, forget Moscow. Want a million-dollar Ferrari? Don't take the private jet to Hong Kong. While shooting "Secret Lives of the Super Rich," CNBC visited some very unlikely places where the world's wealthiest go to drop boatloads of cash.
You've probably never heard of these eight tiny towns unless you are one of the few people that happen to live there—or you're super rich.

Bread Baking: Stuffing Bread Recipe
I've thought about making a stuffing-flavored bread for years, but it wasn't until recently that I actually got around to doing it. My goal for this bread was for it to have three different uses. First, it could be the base for a stuffing. Second, because it tastes like Thanksgiving, it would make a great sandwich bread for the day-after turkey sandwiches. And last, the bread would make great croutons for salads.
Of course, if you like to make your stuffing from croutons (I usually start with bread that's a day or two old), you can make this bread well in advance and make croutons right away. If they're completely dry, they'll last for a long time.
Tips on Making this Recipe...
by hand-kneading »
in a stand mixer »
with a food processor »
When I make stuffing, I tend to go a little overboard with sage, but I took a lighter hand with this bread, and used poultry seasoning, which added flavor without being overwhelming. If you like a more herby stuffing than this bread provides, you can add additional seasonings to taste when you're making the stuffing.
I also used a chive-infused olive oil which added a little boost of flavor. Plain olive oil would be fine.
Although I just said I like my stuffing with tons of herbs, I made a test batch of very basic stuffing using this bread and it came out quite flavorful. Taste it and see what you think. When I use this for Thanksgiving, I'll have celery and maybe some giblets, and I'll be moistening it with flavorful stock, so it probably won't require any additional herbs.
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, such as Penzey's
- 1 tablespoon chive-infused olive oil (optional) or olive oil
- Cornmeal
Mix water, yeast and honey in bowl of food processor and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add bread flour and egg. Process until dough is smooth and elastic, about 30 seconds. Add salt, poultry seasoning and olive oil, and continue kneading until dough is smooth, silky, and elastic, about 45 seconds longer. Form dough into ball, drizzle with olive oil, and place in clean bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about an hour.
Sprinkle some cornmeal in bottom of 9x5 loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350°F. Flour work surface lightly and turn dough out. Form into log about 8 inches long and place it into prepared pan, seam-side down. Cover pan with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Slash loaf as desired and bake until browned, about 40 minutes. Let loaf cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then remove it from pan and transfer to cooling rack. Allow to cool at least 2 hours before slicing.

Securities America announced Thursday that Great Plains Financial Group has joined the La Vista, Neb.-based broker-dealer. Great Plains, which has $3.8 million in annual revenue and $350 million in assets under management, was founded in October 2002 and has 11 advisors. The firm has its main office in Fargo, N.D., with an additional office in Grand Forks, N.D.
Mike Bindas, a founding partner of Great Plains Financial Group, said the group chose Securities America because of the assistance and improvement the broker-dealer can provide with advisory programs, recruitment and future growth initiatives.
"We wanted to partner with a large, stable firm with strong technology resources and a culture that was a good fit for us," Bindas (left) said. "A key consideration was whether the new affiliation could and would add to our value proposition, and Securities America certainly met that requirement."
Great Plains' 11 advisors–Mike Bindas, Tom Halstenson, Eric Hustad, Chris Birmingham, Ray Morgan, Jon Halstenson, Chris Siverson, Patrick McIntyre, Mark Teigen, Mark Schadewald and Ryland Syverson–officially began business with Securities America on Feb. 17.
"We are extremely pleased that Great Plains Financial Group chose to become a part of the Securities America family," said Gregg Johnson, senior vice president of branch office development and acquisitions. "We are working closely with them to ensure a smooth transition and to provide them with our extensive technology and practice management resources."
Despite a stressful 2011, both firms are optimistic about the partnership.
Great Plains was already in conversations with Securities America when news broke of the Provident Royalties and Med Cap holdings issues, Bindas says, adding that Securities America kept his firm informed throughout the process. "We were really impressed how they worked through it. We're excited about the acquisition with Ladenburg and really have no issues with it," Bindas told AdvisorOne on Friday.
"In our discussions when engaging with Mike and Tom [Halstenson] and the rest at Great Plains and why we're so optimistic about 2012 is we've kept the senior management and executive management in the company in place from 2009-2010," Johnson (left) told AdvisorOne. "There really is no change structurally to the products, services, personnel, management or culture and we've added a strong parent in Ladenburg Thalmann that brings even more to the table. We're optimistic about 2012 because we have things in place that our advisors liked that led to record recruiting years and growth from 2009 and early 2010 and we've even added to that recipe."
Looking ahead, Bindas is optimistic about growth opportunities in the coming year.
"One of the biggest things we look to them for is recruiting," he says. "We're an independent office and the opportunities with some of the breakaways from the wirehouses, SA gives us the opportunity to go after them aggressively."
"We're excited about the partnership because of the caliber of practice and business that they run. It gives us an additional strong presence in the Upper Midwest," Johnson says. "We like the idea that they want to continue to grow in both ways that we help advisors grow: through growing their own practices, acquiring more clients and growing their business, and also growing by bringing on other advisors, which we're excited to help them with."

The lights are off. The room is lit only by scented candles and the shimmering glow from the soft lights below the water of the hot tub. You've been soaking now for about 20 minutes, sipping the chilled white wine I'd set beside the tub for you.
I get out before you and towel off, returning quickly with a thick, large heated terrycloth towel for you. I assist you from the tub and slowly begin to towel you dry, standing behind you that I might admire your reflection in the mirror behind the tub. As each inch of your skin is dried and becomes visible to me, I kiss it and pay further homage to your magnificent body. Your squared shoulders, firm breasts, small waist, round spherical buttocks, taut lean legs, slender tapered feet.
Once dry I lead you into the master bedroom guiding you to my bed. Our lips meet for the first time, wet with desire for each other. I set you on the bed and you move upwards where you can lie down and feel the coolness of the satin. The room is warmed by a fireplace at the foot of the bed, and the mutual passion of our bodies.
I gently roll you onto your stomach, pull the pillow from your head that it might allow you to lie in a more straight comfortable position. Then, I begin. I retrieve a small bowl of heated Sake` and begin to massage it slowly into your skin, base of your head, neck, shoulders, down each arm ever so slowly, letting the warmth of the alcohol and the tenderness of the massage excite your skin and nerve endings.
After both arms have been massaged I start slowly down your back, over your spine, working out wards at each rib. As I arriver at your waist, past your ribcage I rub from the outside in toward your backbone. Kneading each side one at a time.
I can feel your body relax under my administrations, hear your breathing deepen, telling me you are starting to become excited. I am now at your ass. I knead the muscles of each globe like bread dough, working the Sake` in. Then down one leg, your right, a hand on either side of your thigh. For just a brief moment I feel the moistness of your swollen labia against the palm of my hand, but know this isn't the time. Down your leg, behind the knee, over the wonderfully sculpted calf I apply my caresses.
Taking your foot in my hand I thoroughly massage each digit, one at a time. Finished with one leg, I assist you in rolling over on your back and beginning with the left leg. Again the foot and toes, again the calf, the knee, behind the knee, the thigh muscles. Each being taken care of one at a time. And, as before, I barely feel the moistness of your womanhood against the side of my hand as I pass up from your thighs to your stomach. I notice that your clitoris is swollen and sticking out ever so slightly from under its hood, I resist the moment to stop caress and kiss it at this time.
I move to your side and begin my slow ascension up your body. Your stomach, sides, ribcage, under and around each breast. I feel your hand reaching down, cupping my cum swollen scrotum, feeling the weight of my nuts in the palm of your hand. You release my nuts and reach to stroke my cock, which has risen almost to full erection. I calmly remove your hand, kiss it, and set it by your side. You now realize this is for your pleasure first and foremost.
Over your shoulders and down each arm, again, one at a time. This time massaging your fingers as I did your toes. I move again until I am straddling just above your head and start working the neck muscles, behind your ears, along your jawline, cheekbones, up over your temples, onto your forehead.
As I straddle you this way, my cock is almost in reach of your mouth, just above your face. You fight the urge to reach up with your mouth and engulf it. As I finish with your scalp massage, I let my hands and fingers begin to trace a line back down your shoulders toward your breasts.
As they move, I also move to where I am beside you again, never missing a stroke. I arrive at your breasts, slightly parted from the position in which you are lying, but still firm nonetheless. Your nipples are hard and firm, both from the excitement of the massage and the feelings from the room. I slowly massage each breast, one at a time. With each touch I can hear a small gasp escape from your mouth.
I take each hand and lay one flatly on each breast where you can barely feel the palm of my hand. The tingle and aroma of the Sake combined with the hardness of my hands makes each nipple seem to get harder and push themselves into my hands.
Your back arches slightly trying to increase the touch. When you are taking short stabbing breaths I slow down and begin to move lower on your body. Your legs anticipate me and part themselves, allowing me access to your innermost self. Your mons is shaved, and forms a high arched mound of which I bend and ever so gently kiss.
It is then I can smell your sex. Hot. Moist. Desiring. Your inner lips are swollen, poking out from your slit, begging to be caressed, touched, kissed. I wet my fingertip, reach down to the bottom of your slit and draw it from the bottom to the top, stopping ever so near your clit. Your body shudders in its desire for me to continue.
Before even touching your clit, I bend forward take in its aroma, and apply an ever so light kiss upon the hood covering it. This brings a short gasp from you as well as feeling your pelvis thrust toward my face. I rotate my body to where I'm situated on my chest between your legs, one on each shoulder.
I now have absolute access to your pussy, your clit. Even your ass if I so desire. I begin by kissing the inside of each thigh, close to the edge of your slit.
With each touch of my lips, I can feel your thighs tighten around my head. I can almost feel your inner lips quiver with desire for my mouth and tongue.
I reach around you to either side, up over your waist to your breasts. Taking a nipple gently in each hand, between thumb and fingers, I now apply my lips to your innermost lips as well.
The combined sensations drive you crazy, making you almost buck me from my position. But I am no longer deterred from touching you where you most desire. I slip my tongue between your cunt lips, and slide it from the top of your slit to the base and the opening to your womanhood.
It is then I stab my tongue deeply into you, dragging your sweet nectar out upon its return. You gasp, shake, and a small orgasm shakes you. I retrieve my tongue, trap your right labia between my lips, and drag my lips up wards caressing, almost gnawing on that cunt lip. I know I can feel it tremble inside my mouth. I slide my tongue back down inside your slit, back to your opening and again probe it, retrieving some nectar from within. I then return to your labia, this time the left, and do to it what I had to its sister moments before.
But, before returning southward, trailing my tongue through your slit again, I pause to caress your hard swollen clit this time. A second, slightly more intense orgasm racks your body.
On my third trip to your pussy, I return upwards the same way I came, between your lips and entrap your clit between my lips, tickling it with but the tip of my tongue. Your thighs are quivering, shaking. Your nipples have turned rigid between my fingers.
Your ass begins to shake up and down, fucking my face. I begin butterfly flicks onto your clit, back and fort sideways, feeling it bounce back and forth on my tongue like a wave of intense orgasms begin to roll over you.
Your spine goes taut, your ass hard as marble, your legs lock my face in place in your cunt, not able to stand any more but not wanting me to stop. Lotion from your pussy begins to seep out of your depths onto my chin, the sheets, telling me you're wet and ready. It is now you scream your release and shout for me to fuck you!
I start to straighten up into a missionary position, but you yell that you want on top. Quickly we trade positions, your desire seemingly ignited. As I land on my back, you reach for my manhood.
No slowness now, only maddened desire. You, but for a moment, engulf the head of my cock in your mouth, as though you wanted to sate a desire to taste me. Slathering my cock with saliva, you straddle me, setting the head of my cock against the opening of your pussy. With both hands I reach for your breasts, holding them, thumbing your nipples.
You can wait no longer and drop yourself hard against my cock. Fulfilling the desire deep within to feel it filling you. I yelp in almost pain as your ass lands hard against my nuts, but you have to shame, lost in your heat and desire.
Steadying yourself with your hand on my chest, you rise until just the head of my cock is within you, pause a moment, and fall back down on it again. I can see your swollen cunt lips wrapped around my shaft like a vise that has no intention of ever letting go. After setting down still on my cock for a moment, feeling me twitch deep inside you, you begin to move up and down in a slow steady rhythm. I let go of one breast, reach down and feel the wetness your pussy is lathering around my cock.
Wetting a finger, I reach around and massage the puckered opening to your ass. I see you close your eyes, but not in rejection, but further delight as I do this, so I slowly insert my finger first knuckle deep into your ass.
This causes you to increase the speed of your up and down movements upon my cock. I know neither of us are going to last much longer. It feels as if this has gone on forever.
With each up and down stroke, my finger can feel my cock between the membrane that separates them. All of a sudden I can feel your entire body begin to quiver and shake, more so than all the rest of the evening combined. That's when I take over, take hold of your waist and begin to pound my cock in you as deep and hard as I can.
Your hands are almost clawing at my chest, your hips gyrating on my cock, your juice spitting out around my shaft. Just then I can feel the steam and heat that precede my cum.
I tell you and begin to lift you from my cock, but you scream 'NO! Cum inside me!!' With those words I have but one last thrust and blow my seed well within your cunt. You collapse upon my body, both of us breathing out of control.
I wipe the sweat from your forehead, your face, and out lips engage in a heart-warming kiss. Thinking a shower would feel nice, but at the moment not having the strength to get out of bed, we fall asleep in each other's arms, both dreaming of what I can think of next time to better this.

Phlebotomy is a procedure that removes blood from the body. Regular phlebotomy treatment is used to treat conditions such as hemochromatosis, in which a person has too much iron in his or her blood, or polycythemia, in which a person is producing too many red blood cells.
Removing blood regularly decreases iron levels in the body by reducing the number of iron-rich red blood cells. Phlebotomy is safe when done by a health professional in appropriate situations. The process is similar to donating blood. A health professional inserts a needle into an arm vein and removes about 500 mL (17 fl oz) of blood.
Removal of excess iron can significantly reduce the possibility of severe and even life-threatening damage to the liver and other organs.

The state intends charging the double amputee with pre-meditated murder after the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the Pretoria Magistrate's Court heard on Friday.
"Is the state's argument pre-meditated murder?" asked Magistrate Desmond Nair.
"Yes," said prosecutor advocate Gerrie Nel.
A man, believed to be Pistorius, was sitting in the back seat of a police van, his head covered in a jacket, when he arrived at the court earlier.
The Valentine's Day murder at Paralympian Pistorius's house in Pretoria dominated newspaper front pages on Friday morning, overshadowing President Jacob Zuma's opening of Parliament.
A few hours after Zuma's annual State Of The Nation address on Thursday evening, the head of state failed to make the front page of most newspapers.
Speculation was rife over Pistorius's alleged shooting of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Shot four times
The Afrikaans daily Beeld dedicated five full pages to the story, with its front page story, headlined "Dood agter deur [Dead behind door]", saying it understood Steenkamp was shot four times through a bathroom door.
According to the paper, the police and security guards were called to his house about two hours before the shooting, after neighbours heard him and Steenkamp argue. The police were called out a second time around 3am after neighbours heard gunshots, reported Beeld, quoting an unnamed Silver Woods estate resident.
A security guard said her body was found in the bathroom.
Beeld explained its initial report, that the shooting was an accident, had come from police Captain Sarah Mcira, who released the information to their journalist around 8am on Thursday.
Another police spokesperson later said that information came as a surprise. "The South Africa Police Service were just as surprised … to hear on the radio that allegations had been made that the deceased had been perceived to be a burglar," police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes said.
"We were very surprised, and those allegations did not come from us."
'Incidents of a domestic nature'
Beukes's comments that there had been "previous incidents of a domestic nature at his place" were widely reported on.
The Star newspaper cited sources saying Steenkamp's body was found downstairs in the entrance hall of his R3.9-million house.
The Star dedicated its editorial opinion to domestic violence.
The Times newspaper said a "highly skilled team of blood-spatter forensic specialists" would fine-comb Pistorius's house on Friday morning.
The Citizen's front page headline was "Blade gunner?", while the Daily Sun reported on "Oscar's bloody Valentine!", and the Sowetan headlined its front page report "Golden boy loses shine".
The New Age newspaper led with Steenkamp's death, saying it had a copy of a speech Steenkamp had prepared to deliver on Valentine's Day at a high school in Sandton.
The New Age reported on Zuma's speech at the bottom of its front page.
Business Day was the only daily to lead with Zuma, reporting on tax policies in mining.
As Zuma started his speech at 7pm on Thursday, 24-hour news channel eNews featured a special report on the Pistorius shooting, referring viewers to their sister e.tv channel if they wanted to follow the president's speech. – Sapa, Reuters

Jon S. von Tetzchner has been with Opera for a long time - in fact, he co-founded the browser maker back in 1995, and led the company to great success; the desktop version may play a niche role, the various mobile versions surely do not. Today though, he has announced he will be leaving the company due to differences with the board and management.
The official press release is sparse on details, and makes it seem as if there had't been any disagreements. "It is of course a choice that brings up a lot of emotions", von Tetzchner says in the press release, "When we first started out, we were a few guys in a really small office - now we are spread all over the world, have over 740 employees and over 200 million users. I am very proud of what we have accomplished, and look forward to following the company closely also in the future."
Opera's current CEO (von Tetzchner relinquished that role in 2010) also had some kind words. "We have had a lot of fun during these years, and to say that Jon has created a great company is an understatement", says Lars Boilesen, "He has taught me and everyone working here a lot. He believed in, and pushed out innovation after innovation that we see our competitors constantly struggling with copying, making Opera a first mover in the technological development of web browsers as we know them today. We are very proud of Jon, and of course of the company."
However, in an email sent to Opera's employees, von Tetzchner said that his resignation comes after disagreements with the board and management - what these were about, he wouldn't say, although he does hint that it's a different between focussing on tomorrow, or next year.
"It has become clear that the board, management and I do not share the same values and we do not have the same opinions on how to keep evolving Opera. As a result I have come to an agreement with the Board to end my time at Opera," von Tetzchner told Opera's employees, "I feel the Board and Management is more quarterly focused than me. I have always worked to build the company for the future. I believe the foundation we have is very solid to build further upon."
Even though I don't use Opera myself, it's pretty clear the browser is one of the more innovative projects in this field, and has managed to bring acceptable web browsing even to devices that no other browser could run on acceptably. Let's hope that von Tetzchner's departure does not adversely affect the company's products.

Well done and great pics! Pressie traverse is huge on my hiking to-to list.
Got a break in the summit forecast over the long weekend so went for the traverse.
21.43 miles, 9,579 feet of elevation gain, 9hrs 27min.
6AM start time from Appalachia. The sun rising as I head up to Madison.
Sun rise by the time I reach Madison, just before 8AM. A bit of undercast in the northeast, and nice foliage throughout. It warmed up quickly and I was soon sweating through my woolie. A gentle breeze was a nice reprieve.
Blue skies through Jefferson, though it started to cloud up a bit by the time I passed over Washington en route to the southern section.
Some great stretches of trail running up here.
Crossing over the cog.
The wind turned cold barreling down at me approaching Washington. I took a brief break at the summit building for a slice of cold pizza and a water refill while I warmed up. Caught a second wind over Monroe and ran through Eisenhower to Pierce. By Jackson I was fairly spent and slogged down the last 2.4 miles, by far the slowest section of the day. Could have used some more energy chews by that point (which I had but neglected to use). Some heavy crowds coming down also slowed me and threw off my pace.
Glad I got a chance to hit this before the real cold settles in. A great fall day from start to finish.
All skiing is good. Some skiing isn't as good. But all skiing is good.
@mtncobber on the instafeeds.

text: Why are you so worried about "debates." They're not debates. They're beauty pageants. Mindless media diversions. Psychotic interludes. Charm school rejects and sleight of hand. Bought and paid for political hacks playing the ol' switcheroo. Just look at the topics that seem to command so much of our collective attention. Look at what we find interesting, critical and what we ignore and reject altogether. Look at the attention that our media will pay to underinflated footballs and other pseudo-controversies; it is beyond my comprehension. We have sealed our fate and guaranteed are doom. If this country fails it will not be because of invading Visigoths over the horizon but because of the collective collapse of our society due to our profound nescience and intellectual torpor. Or something.

The CompositesWorld Blog
HPC's editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan marks the debut of the interactive CompositesWorld Blog and invites readers to join the conversation.
Back in 1990, when I graduated college with a degree in technical journalism, I would have said, accurately and logically, that I was a magazine editor. No more and no less. At that time, of course, the Internet was still more science fiction than fact, and communication technology consisted primarily of telephone (landline), fax, newspaper, magazine, radio and television.
If you were a composites professional back then, you likely read Advanced Composites magazine or a similar early industry title (alas, HPC did not yet exist), and you attended composites industry tradeshows and conferences to find new technology you could use to manufacture composite parts and structures. If you're nostalgic, you likely look back on those days as simple and straightforward, uncluttered by the digital media landscape. Or, if you've adapted well, you might look back on those days and wonder how anyone got anything done. If you're like me, you probably do a little of both.
Featured Content
Although I still say, 23 years later, that I'm the editor of a technical trade magazine, that doesn't begin to describe all that I do. When pressed, or engaged in a quasi-philosophical discussion about the "future of media," I'll tell you that what I really am — what all of us at HPC are — is information managers. It's our job to seek, collect and distribute information about composites manufacturing and then present it to our audience (you) in whatever form is most convenient.
The keyword, of course, is "form," because we are no longer mere magazine publishers. Many of you still read the printed magazine, and this is, still, the dominant form, but you might also be reading this in our digital magazine or online at our Web site. You likely also receive our e-newsletter, the CompositesWorld Weekly, and you might also follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Linked In.
We are now adding a new form to our communications arsenal, the CompositesWorld Blog. You can find it easily on the home page of the CW site: www.compositesworld.com. The CW Blog will feature short, pithy, creative reports from myself and other HPC writers and editors about the goings on in the composites industry — consider the CW Blog our subjective, biased commentary on the news, events, people and technology that are shaping the composites community.
Why a blog? The real upside is its interactive nature. It's not just about what we think. We know that you composites professionals are keen observers of the trends shaping this industry. The blog provides an opportunity to put your interests, insights and intelligence to work. It enables you to chime in with comments of your own about the subjects we explore. You may agree, disagree, add to, embellish, dissect, argue, defend or question as you see fit. You may respond to the comments of others and see how others respond to yours.
So I encourage you to make haste to the new CompositesWorld Blog and become a part of the conversation. As always, if you have ideas or suggestions to help us serve your information needs better, I'm all ears.

Congress Is Split on Taxing of Corporate Inversions
Democrats Push for Short-Term Fixes, But Republicans Want Broader Overhaul of Tax System
WASHINGTON—Lawmakers widely concerned about the wave of companies reincorporating overseas to avoid U.S. taxes split along partisan lines Tuesday over whether any legislation should take aim at businesses that have already relocated.
It is far from clear that Congress will take any action in response to the wave of mergers between U.S. and foreign firms, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. But the increasing use of the practice, known as a corporate inversion, has triggered alarm on Capitol Hill. Democrats have pushed...

End of Daylight Saving Time Could Be Heart-Wrenching
Oct. 30 -- WEDNESDAY, Oct. 29 (HealthDay News) -- The end of daylight saving time is just about here, and it may pose health problems much more serious than just a lack of rest and increased grumpiness.
Swedish researchers have found a jump in the number of heart attacks following the semi-annual one-hour time changes.
"This was the very first study on this topic and further studies are needed," said Dr. Imre Janszky, of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and co-author of a letter published in the Oct. 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"However, we can certainly say that our study adds some further evidence that vulnerable individuals might benefit from avoiding sudden changes in their biological rhythms," Janszky said.
Those vulnerable individuals would include people already sleep deprived, other experts said.
"When somebody has sleep deprivation, obviously that deprivation does affect their health, including the possibility of having heart attack and stroke," said Susan Zafarlotfi, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep-Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. "Those patients who do have a higher risk -- such as high cholesterol and, specifically, if they snore -- should be very, very careful with their time to bed and time to rise, not only for the fall back but also across the board."
The end of daylight saving time occurs Sunday, Nov. 2, when clocks are turned back one hour.
"Our circadian rhythm, which is the biological clock within the human body, gets its cues from time and light," Zafarlotfi explained. "This coming Sunday when we go backwards, our bodies are not going to be clocking so quickly, so the clinical consequences would be fatigue, tiredness and a little bit of lack of attention and lack of concentration."
For the new research, the study authors used a registry with information on all heart attacks occurring in Sweden since 1987. Then they compared how many heart attacks happened during each of the first seven days after "spring forward" and "fall back," and the average of how many occurred on the corresponding weekdays two weeks before and two weeks after the day of transition.
There was a spike in heart attacks for the first three weekdays after the change to daylight saving time in the spring, an effect that was more pronounced in women. But, in the fall change, a significant increase was seen only on the first weekday after the transition; this effect was more pronounced in men, the researchers found.
Regardless of the time of year, the effects tended to be stronger for people younger than 65 than for those over 65.
The study authors hypothesized that the increase in risk was likely due to the negative effects of sleep deprivation on heart health.
The next step in the research would be to see if prolonged sleep might reverse the problem, especially given that people in western societies tend to lack sleep. Their average night's rest has decreased from 9 hours to 7.5 hours during the last century.
There's a chance that more sleep might help, given the surprising finding that the highest risk of heart attack in the autumn occurs on Monday, the first workday of the week.

How to Adjust to the Time Change
The one-hour time change can be a big adjustment for many people, but there are ways to minimize the disruption.
Dr. David Rapoport, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at New York University Langone School of Medicine in New York City, has these suggestions for individuals who already have sleep problems:
"In our society, almost everybody is sleep deprived and this is a golden opportunity to catch up on it," Rapoport said.

Our kids are probably the best-documented generation in the history of the world. Not because they're spoiled or because we're helicopter parents, but just…because we can.
One short generation ago, when we were kids, taking pictures involved a little forethought and patience. Pictures were for "occasions." Our parents had to buy film and flashbulbs (remember those?) and carry around a camera that was a little on the bulky side. And when the last photo on the roll was snapped, that was it. Three days after you took them in, your pictures came back from the Fotomat. Your editing choices? Like it or lump it.
Left: Photo by Brandie Langer, Journey of 1000 Stitches. Right: Scrapbook page by Amy Mallory, Snap & Scrap.
Now, when taking a picture is as easy as whipping out a tiny digital camera or your phone, capturing family memories isn't just for birthday parties and vacations. It's all about documenting the wonderful, fleeting moments of everyday life, the ones that are so easily buried under, well, the rest of everyday life.
We talked today with Michele of Scraps of My Geek Life, along with Katie Pertiet of Designer Digitals, Stephanie of Bizzie Living, and Amy of Snap & Scrap. They shared their thoughts on capturing and preserving family memories in the digital age.
A Year In the Life
I'd heard of Project 365, but really didn't know what it was about, or what was required to participate. It's simply a project where you take a photograph every day for a year. It started as a way for photographers to hone their skills, but as Michele observed, it's become much more. She says, "I see it as a way to capture my family's daily lives…the mundane. The things you never think you are going to care about, but 10 years later are awesome. Like all the shoes in my back hall that drive me crazy…." Michele offers a link to this tutorial to help us get started. Although many people start their project on the first day of the year, starting on any day is just fine; Stephanie suggests that starting on a birthday can be fun.
Several of us expressed some regret at not having taken more pictures of our older kids while they were growing up. Project 365 provides motivation to snap photos on days that don't necessarily cry out to be documented, and that can pay dividends later, as Amy notes: "My kids seem to be drawn to the everyday photos when looking through their albums." Looking for inspiration? Michele recommends Googling "Project 365 shots" and checking out Photojojo, where she first discovered the project. View a sample of what Michele does with her photos here.
Okay, I've Taken My Pictures – Now What?
Taking pictures with film and having someone else develop them took a lot of the pressure off. On the one hand, if they came out badly, you couldn't do anything about it. On the other hand, if they came out badly, you didn't have to do anything about it. If you were feeling fancy, you put your pics in a self-stick album; if not, into a shoebox.
Now of course, there are all kinds of options for photo editing and getting creative with how you display your photographs. Several people confessed to being stymied by Photoshop. Michele concedes that Photoshop can be challenging to master and suggests, "Photoshop is much more complicated, but Photoshop Elements takes the features most of us would use often for our personal photos and makes it easy to do them. There is a 30 day free trial. It's much easier." PicMonkey is a free photo-editing site that Deborah called "super easy," and which offers upgrades for a fee. Lightroom is a good option if you have large numbers of photos (Michele has over 75,000!).
Speaking of which…one of the joys of digital photography is that you can take all the photos you want. But then where do you store them?
Left: Photo by Stephanie Elie, Bizzie Living. Right: Photo by Katie Pertiet, Designer Digitals.
Katie says, "I have crashed iPhoto…and now that file is 400gig and I can't get it backed up! Not good. I have gone to storing photos in a folder system on an external hard disk." Others use external hard drives as well, and Michele also keeps her photos on Flickr. Her settings are such that only she and her family can see them, a privacy feature that's likely important to you if you're posting pictures of your kids.
If you want to share your photos, of course, the photo editing tools above can help you come up with hundreds of creative ways to do so. It may take a little patience to sit through the tutorials and master techniques, but it's a lot better than handing someone a dusty shoebox full of snapshots with curling edges, isn't it?

This Website is Dedicated to the Memory of Russ Walker
October 10, 1941 - April 7, 2008
A Man Named Russ Walker by Troy S.
I've met people that are "doers" and people that are "talkers", now let's talk about a man his name is Russ Walker. Let's talk about the things he did before he past. All of these things will most certainly last. He started committees for our great fellowship. He did that with deed and not just with lip. He would go in to prisons and into the jail. They loved to see Russ even more than their mail. He would share with these men his experience, strength, and hope and most of them recovered from alcohol and dope. His commitment to service was out done by none. That's easy to see by the things he has done. Now I sit here tonight with tears in my eyes and a heart full of woe. With this ache in my heart where should I go? I don't feel like visiting, so I guess I'll stay home. I'll do what Russ liked and I'll write him a poem. Now these words that I write I'll try to make rhyme. It's really quite hard at this heart breaking time. I've lost a great mentor, brother and friend, but for Russ it's the beginning and not just the end. Now he's up there in heaven because angels are slacking. Motivation it seems is what they are lacking. They forgot what to do, they forgot about service. GOD got concerned he really got nervous. GOD needed a great doer and not just a talker. GOD thought it was time to call up Russ Walker. Now Russ is up there serving that great service board. That's one great group conscience just Russ and the Lord. Russ took his committees and he gave them to GOD. He looked and he grinned as he gave Russ a nod. I'll get you some angels to do what you need. I'm so glad that I called you to help me to lead. Now the angels are all working to spread love of others and make us all act like sisters and brothers. So if you are feeling more spiritual and don't really know why, just thank Russ Walker and wipe that tear from your eye.
We love you Russ - May your committees always be full

As I reported exclusively last week, Jake Gyllenhaal and Isabel Lucas are hooking up in Montreal, were seen just before Easter weekend at a restaurant/lounge called Garde Manger getting sweet on each other. Click here for a refresher. This weekend Jakey's ma flew in to hang out with him. He was spotted at brunch, in a grey hoodie, with mom at a Byblos Le Petit Cafe where they were joined by Isabel (very tanned, very beautiful)... and eyewitnesses tell me they kissed when she arrived (thanks Vicky!) I hear they've been spending an awful lot of time together.
Everyone who has seen Jakey in Montreal says the same thing: Lainey, he is SO HOT.
He really really is. And the two of them now, it's like Gisele & Tom territory. It's almost too much.
This is Jake last Friday in Chicago for a quick location shoot with Michelle Monaghan.

Stress from a traumatic event can often lead to a variety of sleep problems. When the body is overstimulated, the brain is flooded with neurochemicals that keep us awake, such as epinephrine and adrenaline, making it difficult to wind down at the end of the day. The neurochemicals remain present in the brain and can interrupt your normal sleep cycle. The result can be insomnia, bad dreams, and daytime fatigue caused by sleep disturbance.
The following are common sleep problems following a trauma:
Some people with sleep problems and anxiety have posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is a reaction to a traumatic stressful event resulting in a feeling of a loss of control and an inability to help yourself in a bad situation. It's often experienced by people who are in situations that range from combat to rape, but it can be caused by a variety of events.
For those who are experiencing temporary sleep problems, there are a number of recommendations for dealing with insomnia, bad dreams, and daytime fatigue. Sleep experts recommend trying to reduce feelings of stress, especially before bedtime. Don't watch the news right before going to bed. Avoid coffee in the afternoon and evening. Take a warm bath or soak in a hot tub before bedtime. If sleep problems persist, see your doctor, who can prescribe medications that will help you sleep but won't make you groggy in the morning.
Sleep tips and information were created by Witness Justice, in partnership with the National Sleep Foundation, Dr. Barry Krakow of The Sleep and Human Health Institute and Dr. Gregory Belenky of the physician and a leading sleep researcher of the Walter Reed Institute of Research.

Lifestyle Choice
- Carpet in Cherry Hill is comfortable, soft, and warm underfoot
- Sound absorbing fibers and proper padding mean quieter rooms, making carpet a popular choice for second-story hallways and bedrooms

Style Choice
- Countless colors and textures allow carpet to fit into almost any decor
- Dark, rich colors can draw a room in, creating a cozy feel
