Article: The best tabletop decisions are ones where you use things you already own and work around that. You can try a tablecloth for a traditional look or a runner for a more modern take.  Avoid bright colors in favor of neutral or darker shades inspired by fall. They're easier to complement and tend to read as more mature. If you found your tablecloth in storage, be sure to wash and iron it before laying it out. Use this opportunity to ensure that you have space for your entire guest list. If you do combine tables and they don't align perfectly, try balancing it out with blocks of wood. If you don't have a spare table, put a piece of plywood on sawhorses (those traditional stands used to hold wood to saw). Add personal items if they fit your theme and don't overwhelm the table. Remember that this is a day to thank those around you, but also to appreciate everyone who can't be.  Did you inherit some jewelry you don't see yourself wearing? Try using it to wrap napkins. Antique saucers work well as candle holders.  Use vintage books to add charm, height, and depth. Each guest will see it differently, as well.  Artists who frequently get art supplies as gifts might consider a paper table runner with pen and marker "bouquets" displayed in nice pots. Be strategic about where you place them, however. If they are tall, they could interrupt your guests' view of each other. Use odorless candles so the smell of the dinner will shine through.

Article: Combine the water and the sugar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat until a thick sugar syrup is formed. Once the concoction starts to boil, turn the heat down a bit. If it's not thickening, add a bit more sugar. Pour the syrup onto a clean cookie sheet, and stir to cool the syrup. Be careful —- the liquid sugar is very hot and very sticky. Using a spatula, keep turning and mixing the sugar syrup as it cools. Make sure you work all the syrup on the sheet, so that no one bit cools too quickly.  Continue blending and folding until the sugar reaches a play-dough consistency. Form small balls of sugar between your hands. Squeeze and pinch the ball into a skull shape. Using your fingers, add depressions for the eye sockets and mouth. Let the calavera cool.

Article: After you are diagnosed with schizophrenia, your health care providers should set you up with a community mental health team, sometimes called assertive community treatment (ACT). These teams consist of highly experienced professionals from a variety of backgrounds who can provide day-to-day individualized treatment and support for living with schizophrenia. Your team might consist of psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, pharmacists, counselors, social workers, and occupational therapists. Receiving support from your loved ones is critical to your ability to manage schizophrenia. Include your family and friends in doctor visits, ACT team meetings, therapy sessions, and support groups. Encourage them to ask your treatment team any questions they need to better support you. You might also make special requests as to how your loved ones can support you. These may include helping you spot early warning signs, helping you remember your medications, accompanying you to appointments, and helping you relearn skills to function in everyday life. Being diagnosed with schizophrenia can make you feel isolated and misunderstood. That’s why it’s a great idea to connect with other people who are living with the condition. Self-help and support groups are designed to help you build relationships with others with schizophrenia.  In support groups, you might discuss helpful coping strategies, get education about managing schizophrenia, and share stories about what’s it like living with the disorder. Ask your doctor or therapist about schizophrenia support groups in your area. Ask your community mental health team or support group about how you can receive social skills training. These behavioral interventions can help you better function in the community and feel more capable of managing schizophrenia. Social skills training can improve your quality of life by helping you behave appropriately in social situations, solve problems, communicate more effectively with those around you, and deal with everyday life stress. Doing meaningful work in your community can also help improve your quality of life with schizophrenia. Consider getting vocational training to help you develop transferrable skills, look for a job that suits your lifestyle and condition, and learn how to manage your money. In some cases, vocational training may be grouped in with social skills training.
