Who among us has not walked into a show home and considered hiding under the couch until the realtor left so we could stay there forever?
*slowly raises hand*
When homes are staged for sale, they are shown in their best possible light. Nary a crayon mural in sight, the furniture doesn't have dog hair on it oh, and there are no screaming children running around anywhere. This is enough to make any mom Green With Envy.
While I don't recommend you play stow away in someone else's house for sale, you can use the same principles people used to Stage their houses in order to make yours look a little bit more like this and a little bit less like the barn you frequently have to remind your children they were not raised in.
Staging is basically the process of depersonalizing, organizing, decluttering, and otherwise cleansing a house from all the trees is this someone actually lived there, to entice potential buyers on their walkthroughs.
Studies have shown time and time again that staging can change the way that a buyer sees the home. If you've ever I thought of selling your house, picture the mess in your living room, and laughed "my house won't sell" to yourself as you quickly been to the idea, staging is the answer to how your house actually would sell.
First, you just have to make it not look like the tornado, children, chaos, disaster Zone that it currently does.
Since it would be greatly beneficial to your mental health to do that anyway, here is the guide to organizing your house like a model home. I'll get all the joys of living in that show home, without any of the moving boxes.
The first step to decluttering your home, is to look at each room and put anything on the floor, on tables, or strewn across other surfaces back into its natural home. This seems like common sense, I am always surprised how many kids toys, stacks of papers, or other random paraphernalia gets by under the radar.
You should try for having empty counters, tables, and floors be the state of nature for your house. I know this sounds difficult, but if you use the 2-minute rule and it actually won't take ridiculous amounts of time out of your day.
Even better, once the services are clean, they will actively ward off further clutter. Don't believe me? 1980s criminology theory actually agrees with me here.
If you were staging your house, you would also need to remove any knick-knacks or even personal items. I don't necessarily recommend stripping your house if anything personal, but definitely do a cost-benefit analysis for each item you decide to leave on display.
For the items you do decide to remove, don't just throw them in the closet please actually find a place where they makes sense and can live long term.
When you have gotten rid of all the clutter, You also notice that it's way easier to deep clean and to keep your house clean from a mop-and-bucket perspective. If you need help with the kitchen area, which can be immense pain to clean, check out my ultimate guide to cleaning your kitchen.
Humans are naturally attracted to bright, sunny, open spaces.
I personally think this is because of the pieces are in a prey animal and makes us feel like we're not about to be attacked by predators, but that's beside the point.
Lighting is essential when it comes to the feeling and overall mood of your home. Try and open your blinds, or pull back your curtains each morning. You might also want to look at your light fixtures to see if they are appealing. If you have outdated fixtures or dingy lampshades, then now is the time to get rid of those and invest in something that is a little brighter.
I am a firm believer in this one. I actually wrote an entire blog about 9 strategies to brighten your home. This one is so important to me because I get seriously bummed out if I'm in a room that is too dark for too long of a period of time.
Organizing your entire house is great, but it takes a lot of time and even more work.
For my money, I would use a basic triage system that prioritizes rooms based on how much time you spend there and how visible it is.
This usually means the first things that get cleaned are your main living areas. The kitchen and your family room. Once you finish these rooms, you'll probably go on two bedrooms and bathrooms, which you're next on the most useless. Last on your list will be guest rooms, dens, offices, and other things that don't get used as much on a day-to-day basis.
When people are actually staging their homes, they say that you should remove around half of your furniture.
Now, as a homeowner, it's not really realistic to get rid of half of your furniture. Duh. However, it is important to take note of the principle that the less furniture you have in a room the bigger and more spacious it looks.
When you're thinking about organizing your home, consider any pieces of furniture that are only there because you bought it that time and now you don't want to go through the trouble of getting rid of it. Or because you feel guilty wasting the money getting rid of something that you could still technically use.
Every house has at least a few of these pieces laying around. It's that coffee table we bought when we first got together in our small apartment that has now been moved into three different rooms trying to find an appropriate home in the house we live in now.
Don't be afraid to just chuck (or probably donate) things if they really don't belong anymore. It will make your home look amazing.
After you have thinned out your furniture, you Can begin the insanely fun process of rearranging your furniture a bit.
Sometimes, when you really want to renovate your house or buy more furniture, rearranging can give you that same happy, glowy feeling without any of the cost.
One strategy professional staging teams use is to pull your sofas, chairs, and tables away from the walls. This strategy is called floating, and it helps the room to appear bigger than it actually is.
You might also want to add an area rug as well, as this will create a degree of intimacy in the space. It also does give a little bit more sitting space in a house with children, as it really is no fun to sit on a hard floor and play with Legos for hours on it.
(Parenting Tip: If you have kids or dogs, I would not spring for expensive drugs of any kind. Go to Costco or Target and get one for under a hundred bucks. Then, when the inevitable accident happens, you can replace it with very little guilt knowing you got a few months or even a year of usage out of it.)
And now we come to the outside of your house.
While we only interact with the exterior of our house when we come and go or intentionally spend time in the backyard, it still makes a great deal of difference psychologically.
In fact, I wrote a whole blog on how to have a nice backyard and have kids at the same time, which is way easier than it sounds. The best advice on this front is to figure out some safe, contained areas in your backyard where you can let your kids run free.
You don't need to clutter up your yard with tons of toys, play castles, or other junky objects that make it quite obvious that your kids run the roost. Give them a few play things that they will actually use more than once. If they play outdoors often, you can invest in a weatherproof storage bench for toy hiding purposes.
Overall, apps for fewer things on display, with more open space.
This applies to Less furniture and more floor space, fewer knick knacks and more counter space, and few are outdoor structures with more open grass.
As you keep walking through your house with the model house mindset in mind, you will start to notice ways you can make improvements and pretty soon it will look much less like a horde of wildebeest just stampeded through your living room.

To begin, grapeseed oil is a carrier oil - which means it comes from the fatty portion of the plant from which it is derived – in this case, seeds. (Essential oils on the other hand are made by distilling the non-fatty parts of the plant). As a carrier oil, it mixes well with essential oils which will also benefit the skin and body it numerous ways.
The oil, which can be used for cooking and skincare, is made using what would otherwise be seed waste from juice and wine production.
In terms of skin care, if light moisture and the healing effects of Vitamin E are what you are looking for, grapeseed oil might be the oil for you.

The idea of a 'supply chain' is really to ensure that all of the decisions that museums, archives and libraries make about digitisation are guided by a clear understanding of who is going to us the resulting content, and what they need to be able to do with it.
Who uses digitised collections?
The 'customers' of a digitisation project usually include:
- The museum, for use in marketing, audience outreach and educational services
- The museum, for use in managing the collection, keeping it safe, conserving and interpreting it
- The funders who are putting up the money to cover the costs
- The senior management or Trustees of the museum
- The end-users, who might want to browse and enjoy the content or actively get involved in sharing and adding to it
- Another group of end-users who might want to develop commercial products and services using your content
The different kinds of use
There are countless different ways to make use of collections-based content. In our 'supply chain' model, we have broken these down into 3 broad groups of use:
- Non-commercial use
- Social sharing
- Direct commercial use
Non-commercial use of digitised collections
'Non-commercial' in this sense means that people are using your digitised collections for any purpose that doesn't involve them making money. Examples of non-commercial use include:
- Personal use and enjoyment
- Self-directed research
- Educational use in schools or by informal learners
- Crafting, making and 'homebrew' projects
The key thing about non-commercial use is that it allows people to build a personal relationship to your museum by interacting with your content. Although there is relatively little form evidence, many museums have reported the benefits of allowing users to 'play' with their collections in terms of support and visits.
Social sharing
In this age of social media, online audiences often download, share, like and generally promote collections-related content to their networks via a huge range of platforms.
The influence of this 'peer-to-peer' sharing is becoming increasingly important. As audiences become used to receiving and acting on recommendations from their friends, the more they can share your stories and images, the wider the reach your content will have. Examples of social sharing activity include:
- 'Liking' or sharing content via a social platform like Facebook
- Taking photographs in-gallery and sharing them over platforms like Instagram, Tumblr or Pinterest
- Sharing reviews of exhibitions or visits to the museum
- Assembling interesting or unusual content into short, attention-seeking lists and articles (for example in Buzzfeed)
- Sharing interesting and relevant material within a specific community, like a network or special interest group
- Posting content and images to Wikipedia
There are many different terms used to describe the kind of rich, sharable content that people will like and promote to their friends. It is sometimes referred to as 'snackable' or 'kick' content.
Commercial re-use
There are many industries that depend on a constant supply of rich, engaging and unusual content to power their services, products, apps or websites.
Examples of commercial uses of your digitised collections include:
- Inclusion in advertising campaigns and product packaging
- Direct licensing and print-on-demand of prints and canvasses
- Licensing images for 3rd parties to apply to products
- Using scans and 3D objects in TV & film production
- Providing thematically/period-appropriate content for inclusion in computer games
- Licensing of images for inclusion in books and ebooks
- Provision of content for subscription-based services like mobile phone company channels
Deciding which uses to support
Different use cases can deliver different benefits to your museum. Allowing people to download and share content for non-commercial use can have a tremendously positive impact on your visitor figures, as well as encouraging people to support your museum.
In a few very specific cases, commercial re-use of your digitised collections can yield useful income. You should be aware that the costs of developing digital content for commercial uses is generally higher (because the expectation of quality tends to be higher) and the financial benefit is often very small because any revenues have to be shared with partners or used to cover costs.
The Collections Trust's research suggests that where people are making money from their digitised collections, it tends to be in one of the following situations:
- The museum already has a high-value brand with a strong consumer profile (in which case the commercial partner is often paying for the right of association as much as for the content itself), or;
- The content fits into a well-defined commercial niche, such as a particular cultural theme, design or event with an existing strong commercial offer – generally, the museums that have made money from 'niche' content do so using a very small number of very high-quality or unusual images.
If your museum's digitised collections don't fall into one or both of these categories, then it might be best to think about opening them up for non-commercial personal use and social sharing, so that they can encourage more people to visit your museum!

Ellipsis Zine: One, published in October last year, is a tough act to follow but I was blown away by Ellipsis Zine: Two. It has been a joy to read some old familiar names and explore writers that are new to me.
Two is comprised of forty flash fiction and creative non-fiction gems. The theme of two, inspired a wide-breadth of ideas but they share one thing in common: they are all written by formidable writers of flash and they have set the bar incredibly high.
Without giving away any spoilers, I'd like to share some of my favourites:
- The poetic prose and whispered imagery in Sandra Chen's Bow and Brush was simply beautiful.
- Gemini by Elizabeth Ruth Deyro challenges the usual portrayal of twins through straightforward storytelling with a fairy tale feel about it.
- I really liked Rubies by Rebecca Williams – seductive writing that is beautifully chilling.
- 'His cheeks sagged about his mouth when he spoke, like great saddlebags of sour milk.' From First Untruths by Tomas Marcantonio. Wow! What a description.
- I was moved by a poetically beautiful sentence in The Space Between by Christopher M Drew: 'A moon revolving, your heart a tide.'
- Overspill by Rachael Dunlop is a love affair told in reverse order and the words she chooses for this description are beautiful: 'I feel like a curlicue, some exotic punctuation mark, undulating, in and out, in and out.'
- I particularly liked the opening line of The Hills Above Sabinas by Elisabeth Hewer: 'The day we killed our father was the hottest we'd ever known.' Wow, what a lesson in grabbing the reader's attention and pulling them straight into the story.
Two is a wonderful collection of stories about fractured love affairs, twins, pregnancy, and even people splitting themselves in half or escaping their skin. These are stories about the human condition. About where we fit. About making sense of this world and our place within it.

Scream of Fear (1961)
Taste of Fear, UK
Director: Seth Holt
Studio/Production: Hammer
Script: Jimmy Sangster, Cinematography: Douglas Slocombe, Editing: Eric Boyd-Perkins, Original Music: Clifton Parker
Cast: Susan Strasberg, Ronald Lewis, Ann Todd, Christopher Lee, John Serret
I watched this movie on TCM one rainy afternoon expecting to see a bit of British horror spectacle that Hammer Studios is so deservedly famous for. But I soon discovered this wasn't typical Hammer-style horror. In fact, it's not really horror at all. It's a nifty little suspense-thriller filmed in glorious black & white and set on the cliffs of the French Riviera.
The plot revolves around a young wheelchair-bound girl (Strasberg) who may be losing her mind. She keeps seeing the gruesome corpse of her absent father turn-up in rather unlikely places around his villa. The girl is dependent upon the two people living in the house with her, a step-mother and a charming chauffeur, neither of whom she completely trusts.
Much closer in style and substance to something Hitchcock might have done, it was decidedly influenced by Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques (1954). But it still has it's own unique twists, not the least of which is a clever ending that wraps things up nicely, and surprisingly enough—I didn't see coming from the first frame.
Rick Blasdell
Underrated Movies: Scream of Fear
This is an excerpt from an interview I did several years ago for a European publication.
The American comics industry is going through a rough period right now; and deservedly so! I fear the comics have gone the way of the Hollywood action movie: Pursue the dollar until your product has been drained dry of all hope of creativity. In the movies if one explosion gets a good response, then the next movie will have ten explosions in it! If a man on a motorcycle jumps over two cars during a chase scene, you can bet the next movie will have a man on horseback jump between the World Trade Center Buildings. Copy and expand!
During the 1980's, this is exactly what happened to the American comic book industry. With the explosion of popularity of the X-men, with Marvel making scads of money on these characters, the impossible happened! Each and every superhero character began to change. Some subtly, some blatantly. They began to incorporate the characteristics of Wolverine in particular: Angry, vengeful, frightening. Revenge became the only motivation for a superhero's behavior. I refer to this as the Batman syndrome. The superhero's actions can only be explained in terms of mental illness! There was a shift towards "realism" that spelled doom for the intrinsic persona of the character.
Little by little the major, time-tested heroes began to be retooled to cash in on the current readership that seemed to want violence, bloodshed and maybe just a little cathartic "power". The heroes and villains became interchangeable. The characters would leap off the covers, grimacing, teeth and fists clenched in an explosion of action directed at the viewer instead of each other. Suddenly, all the books looked alike! All the characters acted alike. At one time, the readers of Thor may not have followed Spider-man; now it was irrelevant! Instead of having heroes for different tastes or values, all were the same.
During this period the alter-ego, the human persona or disguise of the super-hero began to be de-emphasized, sometimes disappearing for issues at a time! This trend also effected the art. Artists were encouraged to imitate the leaders of this movement and soon you couldn't find a human being in the whole magazine! Everyone was over-sized, bulbously muscled and grimacing! Throughout the story! This ended up defeating the actual purpose of the drawings, leaving the heroes lost amidst equally impressive co-stars.
I nostalgically remember the great Jack Kirby's renderings of the Thing or Thor standing among "regular" human beings. You knew who the superheros were! And so, many readers lost touch with their icons. The process tended to drive away readers whose needs were no longer being met. There were no more war books, westerns or romances (so much for the few female readers American comics ever had!). Without human beings in the plot, many sophisticated readers moved on. More insidiously, the plots began to include unsavory "realistic" devices. Pseudo-sophisticated story lines which included elements that could be better told in more adult publications.
Now parents had to examine the contents of books that had never needed it before, to see if they contained unacceptable elements for their children. Well, a few years ago, the inevitable decline began. Readers "grew-up" and moved on, leaving the twisted remains of once solid, long-lasting characters and plot lines that couldn't be restored to the old threads.
The industry is now scrambling to find new readers, stability. Trying to reach new audiences. In many ways, this is good. It is leading to experimentation and creativity. Oddly, these are the qualities that they abandoned in their quest for the big money 15 years ago. Maybe it was a needed lesson, designed to keep the business honest. I hope so.

Someone needs to explain to me how I have managed to be such a huge fan of romance – and of the Harlequin Blaze line, for that matter – yet prior to today, I haven't read any Rhonda Nelson. What was I thinking? Nelson is renowned for her great sense of humor, well-paced books and a series that weaves previously loved characters right into the fabric of each new book. Her Men Out of Uniform series has been published since 2006, with this book, The Professional, being the thirteenth book in the series. That is a lot of staying power.
Her excellent reputation is well-deserved. I spent my time alternating between smiling like a lunatic at the characters' antics and fanning myself from the outstanding sexual heat between our hero and heroine. I mean, when the first time the two main characters have sex, it's under the desk on the floor of an office they are breaking into? That's "I gotta have you right now" sex and I can usually turn down my thermostat when I'm reading it.
As with the whole series, our hero has recently joined the now well-established Ranger Security firm. Jeb Anderson left the Army Rangers after he ignored his instincts and obeyed his commander, resulting in everyone on the team he led being killed. His guilt over being the sole survivor when he was responsible for their lives is profound, but he's trying to get on with his life and do right by this job.
His first assignment is an odd one. All the times he's been undercover, it's never been as the grandson of a Viagra-dealing womanizer at an old folks' home, but there's a first time for everything. Okay, so the "home" is actually a high-end retirement village that's basically spring break for the over 60 set, but Jed's got a mission. Discover who has been stealing the high end jewelry items from the unsuspecting residents. Initially the resident masseuse, one Sophie O'Brien, looks like a prime suspect, but one look at her chocolate brown eyes and sweet expression – to say nothing of how everyone at the home treats her like an adopted granddaughter – and Jed's infallible gut is telling him she's not responsible. Something lower than his gut is also clueing him into another kind of feeling, and there's a distinct impression that – just by seeing her – his whole world has finally changed, for the better.
Sophie knows all of the residents incredibly well. Her grandmother, who raised her since she was six, movedinto the retirement home during her final years giving Sophie the farm she grew up on and a sizable inheritance, much to the annoyance of her psychopathic family. Still missing the woman who gave her the only love and stability she ever knew, Sophie has resigned herself to being surrounded by a bunch of unofficial grandparents, all of whom are inveterate matchmakers. When one of the residents mystery "grandson" turns up, Sophie is shocked and dismayed to find that her whole body reacts to sexy Jed Anderson's mere presence. She's had some bad experiences with men and has sworn them off for the time being, and right now she's indignant that a mystery person is stealing from the people she loves. She vows to stay focused and figure out what's going on, but her body, the senior citizens of the home…and fate…seem to have other plans.
This book honestly reminded me a little of some of the paranormal romances I enjoy with the level of destiny involved with the hero and heroine. Their unbelieveably powerful physical attraction is recognized by them both as being a sign of their rightness for one another, a fact further emphasized by their profound ability to read each other in ways never before done by even the people closest in their lives. Jed is a fabulous hero, "on fire" level of hot, but also self-deprecating when appropriate and always honest about his feelings for Sophie. She combines the best of a heroine – a rough past which she has overcome and filled with caring for the people in her life along with a strong sense of duty with her life's work. I loved them both separately but together they were downright combustible.
And the humor! My God, Nelson is a master craftsman when it comes to funny scenes. I couldn't decide which I liked better, the scene where Jed walks in on his pretend "grandfather" in a turquoise and black zebra-stripped speedo "ready" for his date, Jed breaking into Sophie's farm covered in goat manure and freaking out at the peacock cry, or the discovery that the retirement home director is a dominatrix who calls herself "The Whippet"! All of them had me grinning or laughing out loud and they provided a terrific contrast to the set-the-wallpaper-on-fire sex scenes, which were as charged with emotion as they were with animal sex appeal.
Since Nelson took the time in the prologue to show the connection between Jed and his twin brother Judd, it was wonderful that Judd was basically a continual presence by reference, text, or FaceTime call throughout the novel. His book, His First Noelle (#14) is available in paperback right now, with the ebook releasing December 1. I'll definitely be reviewing it as part of my Countdown to Christmas series of blog posts because I can't get enough of these two! Bizarrely, neither The Professional nor His First Noelle is listed on the Goodreads Men Out of Uniform series page? Why is that?
You also cannot deny the outstanding value of this purchase. For $3.82 for the Kindle edition ($5.25 for the paperback), you get both The Professional and the first book of the Men Out of Uniform series, The Player, (448 pages!) so you have a chance to see if you like the first book of the series as much as the thirteenth book (my answer was a resounding "yes"). I think that after reading both books and discovering the first one was as compelling as the latest addition, I'm on board for Rhonda Nelson and this series, since she's clearly, hands down, a "professional." Thanks, Rhonda!

Countdown to training camp is now at 35 days when the Tennessee Titans' rookies and veterans report for the official start of the 2017-18 season. In our last installment we previewed the quarterback position. Today we take a look at the running backs.Embed from Getty Images
DeMarco Murray was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions in all of football in 2016, resurrecting a once-proud rushing attack that had fallen on tough times after the departure of Chris Johnson.
Murray led the AFC in rushing last season and will once again spearhead Tennessee's exotic smash mouth approach this year. Offseason surgery on his hand should not be a concern for Titans fans as he vowed to be 100% for the start of camp.
In fact, Murray talked to the media two weeks ago and stated that he would have played if the procedure occurred during the regular season.
The real intrigue for this group will be the utilization of the players behind Murray on the depth chart, and training camp could provide some clues on how the carries will be divvied up this season.Embed from Getty Images
Derrick Henry will enter his second season like he ended his first…firmly planted behind Murray. But after averaging 4.5 yards per carry in limited action the former Heisman winner will be looking for more opportunities.
There are two trains of thought here.
On one hand, if it ain't broke then don't fix it. While Murray is knocking on 30's door, he has shown no signs of wearing down and has given the coaching staff no visual evidence to cut back his workload.
On the other hand, Murray is knocking on 30's door. Looking long-term you have to think about maximizing the few prime years he has left…and you have a young stud that is equally bruising and equally capable of carrying a heavy workload.
A good problem to have to say the least.
With Thunder and Thunder set to do the heavy lifting again this fall, keep an eye out on 7th round pick Khalfani Muhammad who provides the perfect offset to their downhill style.Embed from Getty Images
Muhammad recorded the fastest 40 time of all the rookie running backs (4.34) and has already impressed his teammates during rookie camp and OTAs.
Also a prolific receiver and return man while at the University of California, Mohammad could / should be used in a myriad of ways this season if he secures a roster spot.
Last but not least, we all know that head coach Mike Mularkey loves his exotic gadget plays, and Muhammad's blazing speed and versatility makes him the perfect candidate to expand that part of the playbook.
A player that can impact a game in a multitude of ways with few touches. A Darren Sproles type of game changer if you will.
The Titans finished third in rushing last season (2,187 yards) and with the major players back on the offensive line and backfield, I fully expect them to finish higher than that this season.
Next up…the wide receivers.

Singer/songwriter Mackenzie Shivers has garnered acclaim for her Celtic-inspired, piano-driven folk. Get to know our TALENT SCOUT Artist of the Week.
NAME: Mackenzie Shivers
HOMETOWN: New York, NY
MUSICAL TRAINING: I earned my degree in music composition/theory from Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music, where I also studied orchestration and songwriting. Piano lessons started at age five and continued through college. High school was when I started taking voice lessons. I grew up doing musical theater and singing in choir, but I never really knew where I fit in as a singer, because I wasn't a belter and I wasn't an operatic soprano. But through lessons, I discovered how to sing in a mixed voice which was really illuminating for me. It was a definite "aha!" moment.
FIRST GIGS: When I was 13 years old, I started getting hired to play piano at various parties and events around Tampa (where I grew up). My repertoire was made up of songs I learned by ear. The Peanuts theme song "Linus and Lucy" was a favorite, sprinkled with various movie scores and a healthy dose of Jewel songs.
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: I always mention Tori (Amos) and Joni (Mitchell), but I'm also really inspired by Olivia Chaney, Bon Iver, Debussy, Phoebe Bridgers, Philip Glass, Elton John...the list goes on and on.
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW: The new boygenius EP
MY BIG BREAK: So far I've had several small breaks, or stepping stones, versus one big one. Playing at the Paste Magazine studio with Bellehouse was a moment for sure. As was playing bodhrán beside Gabriel Kahane and 60 other musicians for a project called The Apartment Sessions. As was getting accepted as a voting member of the Recording Academy this year. It's all made up of moments - I try to appreciate each one of them. If I ever feel like I'm not making headway, I think about the fact that I had never even been in a recording studio five years ago.
LATEST PROJECTS: The Unkindness, out February 8
FAVORITE KEYBOARDS AND WHY? A Muppet Babies keyboard was my first instrument at age three, so that will always hold a special place in my heart. Nowadays, I really love Yamahas. I find the feel of the keys and the piano sounds quite authentic. I have a simple P-115 88-key and an old 76 key that I've used in studio sessions for some of its pre-programmed sounds. For example, I've used the French horn as a warm synth. I'm also looking to buy a Nord Electro HP that I can bring to gigs in NYC. Taking a keyboard on the subway is not an easy feat. I like that the Nord Electro series has piano, organ, and synth sounds, portable hammer action keys, and MIDI compatibility.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? Releasing my new album and playing shows here in the US and in Japan.
ADVICE TO THE NEXT GENERATION: Don't worry if you don't fit neatly into a specific mold or genre. Be true to who you are - having an authentic voice will never go out of style and will always make the best art. It can be harder to market yourself if you fall outside the clear lines of "pop," "folk," "classical" and so on, but don't let anyone convince you that it is the most important thing. I really believe genre is becoming less important and that music is most exciting when lines get blurred. No matter how you define it, it's music, and it's your voice.

Learn about our editorial process Lynne Eldridge, MD Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Carly Snyder, MD on November 06, 2019 facebook twitter linkedin Carly Snyder, MD, is a board-certified reproductive and perinatal psychiatrist who combines traditional psychiatry with integrative medicine-based treatments. Learn about our Medical Review Board Carly Snyder, MD on November 06, 2019 Cancer Overview Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Treatment Coping Mayte Torres / Moment / Getty Images It's common to feel anger when you have cancer. Unfortunately, emotions such as anger, frustration, resentment, and sometimes shame can smolder amidst everything else you are coping with. Though people are often told to be positive during cancer treatment, everyone copes with negative feelings at times, and cancer certainly provides abundant opportunities. In contrast to what some well-wishers may tell you about being positive, it's extremely important to vent and express these emotions. After all, studies to date haven't found that a positive attitude improves survival, but we know that anger and resentment can eat at the very soul of people. Let's look at anger during cancer, some of the situations that cause it, and how to release these emotions in a safe and healthy way. Anger With Cancer There are many reasons to be angry when you are diagnosed and living with cancer. Some of these include: Cancer isn't fair. Cancer can affect anyone. Even lung cancer is increasingly common in young women who have never smoked and are "doing everything right."Cancer (and cancer treatments) cause symptoms that can make you angry. And even if these symptoms don't cause anger directly, cancer fatigue and much more make it harder to cope with.Health professionals can fail you. Many people have their diagnosis delayed, or they have to wait for what seems like forever.Friends and family can fail you. For most people, relationships change significantly after a diagnosis of cancer. Friends you thought would never leave your side may suddenly disappear.You can't do what you once did. Not only might family and friends not understand how you are feeling, and expect you to be your pre-cancer self, but most of us are hardest on ourselves. We just touched the surface with what can make you angry, or resentful, or bitter. And all of that's added on top of the normal anger most humans experience from time to time. How can you deal with all of this? Let's look at why you should and then how you can. Importance of Expressing Yourself We've all heard that we shouldn't stuff our emotions, but what does that mean? If we are unhappy or are harboring angry feelings, those emotions don't just go away because we want them to. Some people are good at expressing these feelings as they occur, but for most of us, that's not the case. Those feelings stay hidden inside where they can turn to resentment and bitterness. Anger Can Affect You Physically One important reason to express negative emotions is because of what they do to us physically. Anger and other negative feelings cause our bodies to enter what is known as a "fight or flight" reaction. Our adrenal glands release stress hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), which increases heart rate and blood pressure, and cortisol, which has an inflammatory effect on the body. Over the short term, this isn't usually much of a problem, other than feeling jittery and anxious. But over the long term, an increase in stress hormones can lead to chronic anxiety, disrupt your sleep, increase your risk for infections, and more. Anger Eventually Comes Out Anyway Another reason to express anger may be clear if you've tried to stuff emotions in the past. Though the feelings may lie dormant for a while, they often come out (sometimes "erupt") despite the best intentions to keep a lock on them. And when this happens, it's often with a person, or at a time or place that's not ideal. Frequently, they are set off by an unrelated event — and this can be confusing to both yourself and others as you wonder why something seemingly trivial could cause such an outburst. Barriers to Expressing Anger There are many things that hold us back from sharing negative feelings with others, whether we have cancer or not. Many of these reasons have been ingrained in us from childhood. You want to appear "strong"You want to appear courageousYou don't want to appear "ugly"You don't want to appear ungrateful It may take a little time to reframe your thoughts so that you realize that expressing anger is actually courageous, it takes strength, and it's not ugly. It's you being genuine and real, and authenticity is beautiful. Expressing Your Anger It's fairly clear that expressing that anger is a good idea, but it's harder to know how to begin. Breaking it down into a few steps is helpful. Choose Someone to Vent With Simply expressing your anger to anyone can sometimes backfire. Not everyone is comfortable with negative emotions, and it's important to choose the right person or people to be open with. What kind of friend can help you navigate your anger? The Right Person: Who do you know in your life who is non-judgmental, and can listen quietly without interrupting as you complete your thoughts? Try to think of someone who doesn't feel like they need to fix things, but can instead simply listen. The Wrong Person: At best, some people are simply uncomfortable listening to an honest expression of anger or frustration. At worst, some people may hang on to words you share at this vulnerable time, only to spit them back at you at a time when it's hurtful. Naming Your Negative Emotions A good first step when sharing your emotions is to name them. Some words used to describe negative feelings include: AngerFrustrationResentmentRegretGriefSelf-loathingCrabbiness After naming the emotions, try to think about what exactly is causing the emotion. What are you really angry about? Who are you angry at? How to Vent When you have found someone to talk with, think about a time and place. Sharing your anger can lead to tears and exhaustion — in other words, you don't want to be interrupted by a child asking for a snack. Before you get started, take some deep breaths. It's important to feel as calm as possible when you start talking, so you remember everything you want to purge from your thoughts. After Venting, What Next? Many of us are familiar with the serenity prayer. There are some things in life that we can change, and some things we simply need to accept. As you think about the causes of your anger and other negative feelings above, think about this distinction. For example: Things You Can't Change Your diagnosisThe feelings of other people Things You Can Change ·Your reactions to unthoughtful people: For example, there are a number of ways to handle insensitive remarks about your cancer.·Your assertiveness and your right to say "no." Your part of the problem. Even if another person is primarily responsible for your anger, what part may you be playing? Note that this isn't a get out of jail free card for the one who offended you, but simply a way to help you cope with your feelings. Making It a Ceremony Once you have finished venting all of your negative emotions to the full extent, it's important to make a clear step forward. Going back to discuss the feelings again, or "rehearsing them" won't bring you the relief you need. Consciously acknowledging that you've vented and can now move on is a way to help you stop dwelling on those thoughts. You have given them the voice they needed, and you are now free to move on. One way of doing this is to carefully write down your feelings on a piece of paper, then tear it up and throw it away. Next Steps When you've finished your venting (or several venting sessions if needed), think about how you can reward both yourself and your listening friend. For Your Friend Don't forget to thank the person who allows you to vent, and realize that they may need some time after talking to you to be aloneAlso, offer to return the favorBe the kind of person that others can turn to when they need to express negative anger and other negative emotions and vent For Yourself How can you pamper yourself? Whether it's a bath, a walk in the woods, or a massage, make a point to pamper yourself. People are human, and humans will fail you, even those who love you the most. But far too often we fail ourselves as well. Take a moment to think about how you would want to pamper a dear friend, but pamper yourself in this way instead. Consider Counseling Sometimes, venting your feelings with a friend isn't enough. Finding a good therapist isn't a bad idea for anyone with cancer in general (and may even improve survival rates according to some studies), and can be extremely valuable if your anger continues to eat at you. A counselor, especially one who is experienced in working with people with cancer, may be able to help you work through ongoing concerns you have and equip you with tools that can help you navigate the road ahead as well. A Word From Verywell Anger and other negative feelings are common with cancer, but unfortunately are hard to deal with in a society that praises a smiling cancer face. It's okay to be angry. The problem is when the anger is buried inside and festers. Finding someone who is comfortable listening to your not-so-positive thoughts is priceless as you continue your journey.

Housewife, 23, who married a 71-year-old she met on Facebook blasts spiteful claims she's a 'mail order bride'
The happy couple boast a 48-year age gap and live 6,800 miles apart for much of the year - with Thomas in Merseyside and Lorie in the Philippines
A WOMAN revealed she married a man 48 years her senior – after meeting him on Facebook.
Housewife Lorie fe Dales, 23 from the Philippines, was approached by retired business owner, Thomas Greig, 71, from Wallasey in the Wirral on Facebook in 2014.
He fell for her long dark hair and says it was "love at first sight". However, Lorie felt differently.
She was initially taken aback by his age, but says she soon warmed to his personality.
Their first date was in the Philippines in July that year for her birthday and while there they became exclusive.
Their whirlwind romance lead Thomas to propose to her that December, and they tied the knot in January 2016.
In June 2016 they welcomed their daughter, Mary, two, and Thomas now splits his time between the UK and Philippines - a distance of more than 6,000 miles.
He spends around five months of the year with his wife and daughter and the rest in the UK... but chats daily to them on Skype.
While their families have accepted their relationship, Lorie says they have received some backlash from strangers who accuse her of being a "mail order bride" - something she strongly denies.
"We met on Facebook," explained Lorie. "It just happened, it was destiny.
The first time I saw him on Facebook, I was like 'Wow he might be old', but he doesn't look as old as you might think.Lorie fe Dales
"The first time I saw him on Facebook, I was like 'Wow he might be old', but he doesn't look as old as you might think."
"For him it was love at first sight. I didn't really love him straight away but I was attracted to him. He was attracted to my cuteness and I liked his blue eyes the most.
"For us age is just a number. It is a question of 'mind over matter', if you don't mind it doesn't matter – that's our saying.
"At first, my family said that they couldn't believe I have him as my boyfriend, but now they say if I'm sure about him, they will always support me, and they are happy as long as I am."
Lorie says that while there is trust and loyalty between them, the distance made things difficult in the beginning. But they now meet up regularly and Skype daily.
"We communicate through Skype every day and we always see each other so that makes me feel ok as soon as we are near to each other.
"The most difficult thing about our relationship is that it is long distance," she said.
"People think that our ages' matters and my husband has bought himself a mail order bride but it's not true.
"Our relationship hasn't been easy so far, there have been ups and downs but we both reassure each other, and we are happily married.
"Our plan for the future is to give the best to our daughter. Sometimes I do feel like I need him at my side to look after our baby together, but I just look on the bright side about why we are in this situation."

Salt Shakers Dinners provide fellowship opportunities for couples and single adults of any age. After signing up in the summer, participants are randomly assigned to groups for four dinners over the coming year. A willing host is designated for each dinner, and the host schedules the dinner and provides the main dish. Others bring a salad, vegetable, or dessert. Some members prefer to be alternates rather than regular participants, filling in as needed for people with conflicts. Hosts also try to include people new to the church who weren't able to sign up. The Salt Shaker groups help the church family get to know each other in new ways. The food is always delicious and the conversations are stimulating!

Children's day in India is celebrated as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji's love for them.

Pixie Gold Short description
- Provider: Lightning Box
- Release date: 22.12.2015
- RTP game 95.42%
What did people think about Pixie Gold?
Pixie Gold Slot review
Here's a few other thoughts about Pixie Gold
Creating clones of existing games is a trick that Lightning Boxlike to do all the time and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, potentially bringing a game to a wider audience as some people choose which slot to play based entirely on the games theme. That said I do hope this isn't a sign of things to come – Yggdrasil are one of the most innovative game creators to spring up in a long time and I'd hate to see that creative genius disappearing in favour of an endless stream of clones.
Well, I must honestly say that the free spins that I used on the game came out well, giving me a nice $25 win from 35 free spins, so I continued on playing the game. Many players have always wondered how come the free spins game always play better than when playing with real money. Well, I'm one person who isn't wondering, because I have played numerous various slot games for donkey years by now, and I'm not the least surprised when any game goes from good to bad upon switching from free play into real play. The same goes for Pixie Gold too. During the free spins, I could get 1 Free Spins game. During the real money play, not a single Free Spins or Bonus game came. All that $25 went down the drain slowly and gradually. Argh! Make a deposit and see if things would get better? No way, no thank you! Not in the way the game had turned around suddenly like that. I don't like it and I'll never buy it. Yes, there's always a possibility that I had hit a bad ride, with better rides still awaiting, but I'm not taking my chances with this slot.
But not all of them think that slot game from software is awesome. Here are other thoughts…
Pixie Gold Slot Bad Reviews
I took one star from rating because payouts during normal play is very low and you can't get any really super mega big win. Just many small wins which can be good and do not allow you to lose fast, but time after time and I got tired from such small wins.
Poor paytable, very poor. Impossible to have a big hit unless the word lucky is written on your forehead.
Why this Pixie Gold game couldn't get my interest so far, was simply because of the dreadful wins that I had gotten! In one instance, it took over 670 spins just to get one lousy Free Spins game, but what did it pay me? A damn unbelievable 1x my bet amount! Sheesh! That put me off the game instantly, and I didn't play it anymore after that incident. It reminded me a lot of that Wild Desire feature that paid me nothing 3 times in a row, and only 1x when it came for the 4th time! As with that Immortal Romance game, this Pixie Gold game also got dumped into my deep freezer for keeps!
We believe that Pixie Gold from Lightning Box, which was released 22.12.2015 with RTP 95.42% and Volatility – N/A is worth to play. And remember that has PAYLINES AND 33-4444-33 REELS. This and 1296 BETWAYS give a chance to win 125000 JACKPOT.
You should try to play in Pixie Gold with 0.5 MIN BET AND 500 MAX BET.
Don't forget that Pixie Gold are using FLASH, JS, HTML5 TECHNOLOGY, and have nice game features such as 3D

Jam Print Cookies
Happy National Cookie Day!
Cookies have always been an important part of our family's holiday traditions. I don't remember helping out in the kitchen as a young child, but I have a lot of fond memories of making Crinkle Cookies with my dad each year to put out for Santa.
I don't make cookies often these days, as I've found having cookies at home results in me eating far too many! But during the holidays, when I have others to share with, I dust off my cookie tray and get baking. Check out my go-to recipe for Jam Print Cookies below.
Enjoy your cookies, and remember to share with friends and family! To quote Cookie Monster (who I'm sure would love these Jam Print Cookies): "Speak softly and carry big cookie. Big enough to share with a good friend."
Jam Print Cookies
- 1-1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ c crushed walnuts (or sub hemp seeds for a nut-free version)
- 3 T sugar
- 1 t baking powder
- ¼ t cinnamon
- ¼ t salt
- ¼ c pure maple syrup
- 2 T brown rice syrup
- 1 t vanilla extract
- ¼ t almond extract
- ¼ c canola oil
- 3-4 T Blue Owl Preserves Low Sugar Jam (whichever flavor you are feeling!)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, walnuts, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine syrups. Add extracts and oil, stirring to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just well mixed.
- Spoon batter onto baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie and fill with a small spoonful of jam.
- Bake for 14 minutes, or until slightly golden around the edges. Let cook for 1-2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
