Last Saturday night I went for dinner at Giggling Squid in Marlow Bucks.
I have seen so many people go on and on about how amazing Giggling Squid is and that its the best Thai food around, so naturally I had to try it.
There are only thirteen Giggling Squids in the country I was choosing between Marlow and Henley, both were pretty busy when trying to book a table, so I would advise booking in advance if you wanted to go at the weekend.
The Food
There was literally so much to chose from, and after speaking to some of my friends and reading other blog reviews I was torn between what to order, I think I sat there for half and hour because it all just sounded soooo good!!!
What I ordered
The waitress asks everyone if they would like Prawn Crackers when taking the drinks order, and obviously I said yes, such a good snack to have while waiting for your food to come and one of my friends said that they were good and that I had to try them.
And yeah they were ok nothing special, and the chilli dip you get with them is literally so small, they are probably something I could give a miss if I was to go again.
|Prawn Crackers
For my main I ordered Paneang Chicken Curry. I wanted to try something a little different from a Thai Green Curry and a Thai Red Curry. The Paneang Chicken Curry is in the round bowl.
I had this with the Sticky Rice, which I cannot rave about enough. I had never had sticky rice before and I loved it. I thought the curry was really flavoursome and the chicken was perfect with it, but I wasn't blown away by it and I probably wouldn't order it again if I was to return.
My friend ordered the Red Duck Curry with Coconut Rice.
We ordered the Sleeping Honey Duck with Orange Salad to share as that had also been a dish recommended to me. But oh my god I wish I hadn't even bothered. After having the duck at Hutong The Shard I don't think anything else will compare.
This Duck was really rubbery and hard to eat, I had about one slice and that was it I didn't want anymore after that. The only thing I rated about it was that it came out on a hot sizzling plate which was cool, just a shame the food was not up to standards.
|Sleeping Honey Duck with Orange Salad
|Paneang Chicken Curry
So this was the dessert we both went for, I have had a look on the website menu to see if I can remember what its called and its not on there and I cant for the life of me remember what it was but I do remember it being rather nice, It was sort of like a fruit cake baked, I know not very helpful, but if you were to visit I am sure it will still be on the menu.
The decoration for the dessert was impressive, but there wasn't a lot of desserts to chose from, it probably wouldn't of been my main choice of desserts.
Now here is where I really tell you what I thought of Giggling Squid.
After wanting to try it out for so long as I had heard such good reviews, this is why I will not be returning and why I did not rate it.
The Service
In most restaurants waiters and waitresses sort of know when your ready to take your order, its pretty obvious if your still looking at the menu that you probably aren't ready.
The one thing that really annoyed me about this place was that they would come over every few minutes to ask if we had decided yet, it actually got rather ridiculous especially when trying to chose a dessert, the waiter came over more than five times to take our order in which I was still undecided.
It felt like they were trying to rush our meal and to be honest It ruined the whole experience as it seemed they just wanted to close up and leave.
The Atmosphere and Layout
The Marlow restaurant isn't particularly very big, there is however an upstairs, but if you are really tall be careful, the restaurant is made for hobbits.
We were seated on a two seater table in the middle of the downstairs part of the restaurant and after only being there for ten minutes, a couple came and sat at the table right next to us.
And when I say right next to us, I mean literally on top of us.
We might as well have pushed our tables together I could hear their whole conversation and they could hear ours, they were so close.
Obviously this massively ruined the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant.
No one wants to go for dinner and be sat right on top of someone else where it doesn't feel private or intimate.
Definitely do not go there if you want to go on a date, I cant imagine that would be an ideal date situation for anyone.
What I Thought / Would I Go Back ?
The last two points really ruined my experience, who wants to go for dinner and be harassed by the staff and sit uncomfortably close to other diners.
The food was good but it wasn't amazing, it did not blow me away and I most definitely have been to better Thai restaurants.
Overall the bill came to around £70 and for what we got I was highly disappointed, I left feeling as if I wished Id spent my evening elsewhere.
However this was my experience and my opinion it may have been different if I had gone on a different day / evening, although the experience should still be the same.
I was left disappointed afterwards so therefore as much as I dislike having to write a bad review, Im not going to sit here and write a fake one telling you why I loved it when I didn't.
Obviously not everyone will agree with me and that's fine, we all different so please respect that when reading.

Rainfall Shocks, Markets, and Food Crises: Evidence from the Sahel
How do markets respond to extreme rainfall in West Africa? This paper examines the effect of weather on grain market performance in Niger, a country increasingly affected by drought and severe food crises over the past two decades. Using a dataset that combines information on rainfall, agricultural production, prices and transaction costs, I exploit rainfall variation to estimate the impact of drought on grain market performance between 1997 and 2006. Time series tests suggest that grain markets in Niger respond to supply shocks and that markets are more integrated during drought years. Exploiting the exogeneity of extreme rainfall in a difference-in-differences framework supports these findings: drought reduces grain price dispersion across markets. This impact is stronger as a higher percentage of markets are affected by drought, as was the case in 2004/2005, the year of a severe food crisis. The results suggest that early warning systems in West Africa should focus on the spatial impact of drought at the sub-regional level, as well as monitor prices in key forecasting markets during the harvest period.

Serves 4 (as a side)
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1/2-3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp chives (minced)Directions:
YIELD: About 13 dozen crackers BAKING TEMPERATURE: 400 degrees F BAKING TIME: 5 to 7 minutes
- 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) whole wheat flour, traditional or white whole wheat - 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon paprika - 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick, 2 ounces) butter - 1/4 cup (2 ounces) water - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla - Additional salt for topping (optional)1. TO MAKE THE DOUGH: Combine the flour, sugar, salt and paprika in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and mix it in thoroughly, using your fingers, a pastry blender, a mixer or a food processor. Combine the water and vanilla, and add to the flour mixture, mixing until smooth. 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. 3. TO ROLL AND CUT THE DOUGH: Divide the dough into 4 pieces; keep the other pieces covered while you work with one at a time. Lightly flour your work surface and your rolling pin and roll the piece of dough into a large rectangle, which should be at least 12 inches square when trimmed. Keep your pin and the surface of your dough evenly floured. Flip the dough frequently to keep it from sticking, but too much flour will make it difficult to roll. Keep rolling until the dough is as thin as you can get it without tearing, at least 1/16 inch thick. Trim the dough to even the edges and use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the piece into squares approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. 4. Transfer the squares to a prepared baking sheet; you can crowd them together, as they don't expand while baking. Sprinkle the squares lightly with salt, if desired. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Save the scraps under plastic wrap and reroll them all at once just one time. 5. TO BAKE THE CRACKERS: Bake the crackers, one sheet at a time, until crisp and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. If some of the thinner crackers brown too quickly, remove them and return the remaining crackers to the oven to finish baking. These crackers bake quickly, so watch them closely - even 30 seconds can turn them from golden brown to toast! Remove the crackers from the oven and cool on the pan or on a plate; they cool quickly. These crackers will stay crisp for several days, but are best stored in airtight containers. NUTRITION INFORMATION PER SERVING (20 CRACKERS, 29G): 18g whole grains, 101 cal, 5g fat, 2g protein, 11g complex carbohydrates, 2g sugar, 2g dietary fiber, 13mg cholesterol, 108mg sodium, 64mg potassium, 48RE vitamin A, 1mg iron, 7mg calcium, 53mg phosphorus. These turned out unexectedly like the store bought ones! My first batch was kinda bendy though - I was afraid to leave em in the oven for fear of burning, but after that I kept checking every 30 seconds until they were darker and crispier. Eventually they went from wheat thin "cookies" to wheat thin crackers! Give it a shot! It is pretty easy! Here's where I got the recipe: http://www.foodbuzz.com/recipes/1765625-homemade-wheat-thins
- Large bunch of kale (once in pieces, there will be 6 or 8 cups) - 1 T olive oil - 2 T vinegar (apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar) - salt1) Pre-heat oven to 350F. 2) Rinse and dry the kale. Tear it (discarding the big veins) into large chip-sized pieces. (It'll shrink some in cooking.) 3) Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar with a couple of pinches of salt in a small bowl. 4) Put kale in a big mixing bowl. Slowly add the oil/vinegar mix, until the kale is just coated. 5) Spread kale in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. 6) Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping/moving around half-way. After about 10 min, keep an eye on it – you want it dry but not brown. 7) Let cool a bit. You can make this in larger or smaller batches if you like – just keep the vinegar-to-oil ratio at 2:1, and make sure not to soak the kale. You can also add seasonings other than salt – cumin and paprika come to mind, or an Italian basil/oregano thing? Go wild. Kale and you – living on the wild side. Just maybe wait for the temperature outside to drop just a bit.

I tried making muffin faces with strawberries and blueberries. They don't look too happy. Sorry, it was 12AM.
OMG gorgeous! Look how they turned out!Moist and superbly delightful. Not too sweet.
- 100g instant oatmeal
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 TBSP baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup of mashed banana (I used 2 bananas and the bread was just sweet enough, but if you like really sweet, use 3)
- 1/4 cup splenda (didn't have any, so used regular sugar, that's why the muffin is 100 cals, it could be less)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 3 TBSP egg white
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamonDirections: 1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Set oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Then mix all of the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl. I added the banana to this mixture and mushed it up with a spoon. I left it kind of chunky so that I could taste the chunks in my muffin. 3. Now mix both together in the large mixing bowl. 4. Once all stirred up and even, spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and then dollop the batter into each little muffin hole. Makes 12. 5. Top with fruits if you desire. 6. Place in oven for 15-20 min. To check if your muffins are done, take a toothpick and puncture the bread. If it comes out clean you're done. If it comes out with some goo sticking on it, you need to leave it in the oven a wee bit longer. Taste test!!! OMG YUM is all I have to say. I was supposed to only "try" one, but I ate two and yes I could still eat more. They are soooooooooooo goooooooood! Moist and just SLIGHTLY sweet. If you really like super sweetness, add the 3rd banana. Nutrition Info: 1 muffin (1 serving): 100 calories, 0.8g fat, 22 g carbs, 2.2 g fiber, 3 g protein.

- 3 oz of 97% fat free lean ground turkey
- 1TBS of spicy fermented soybeans, don't grab the oil
Note: you can get this at your local Asian food grocer, sometimes it is called Black Beans with Chili. Same aisle as soy sauce and hot sauce.
- 1 can of Golden Mushrooms, drained
- 1/2 a head of iceberg lettuceDIRECTIONS: 1. Place the the soy beans into a frying pan or wok first. It is a oily so this will provide a good slick base. High heat. 2. Throw in the mushrooms. I love these stringy guys. They are like healthy fake noodles! Make sure they suck in the sauce from the soy beans. You can tell when they turn a little brownish. 3. Sprinkle 3 oz of the ground turkey on there. 4. Sautee it up for a few minutes until the meat is fully cooked through. I would say my whole sauteeing time from the moment I placed the soy beans on there til the time I turned off the stove was like 5 minutes. 5. Cut your fresh head of iceberg lettuce in half and run under cold water to rinse. Chop off the nubby white part at the bottom. 6. Done!!! Place the sauteed goodness in a plate and the lettuce on another plate and serve! This recipe makes 2 servings or 1 if you're really hungry. These were so delish. I need to have them again. Low cal and super yummers!

Cassey's Oatmeal Date Cookie Recipe
- 1/4 cup dried oats
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese (I used my 2%)
- 4 pitted medjool dates OR 2 packets of Stevia (this is recommended for anyone watching your sugar intake, carbs, and calories. Will break down nutrition facts below.)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg white
- dash of cinnamonDIRECTIONS: 1. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor. Make sure dates get all mashed up. Chunks are okay. 2. Scoop the batter onto a tray after spraying with some PAM. Make mini cookies! 3. Then bake at 350F for about 15-20 min or until firm and the tops are slightly browned. NUTRITION INFO (entire recipe): *With dates: 235 cals, 2.4g fat, 52g carbs, 16g protein. *With Stevia: 143 cals, 0g fat, 28.1g carbs, 15.3g protein. THE VERDICT? I was so so so impressed that I could make a cookie taste sweet without using an artificial sweetener! Dates are an all natural alternative. The cookies were really good! If you're on the 90 Day Challenge, make these with Stevia. I need to go get some. So how does this fit into the plan? You could def sub it for breakfast if you're on the go. Make em the night before and grab as you're leaving the house. OR! If you're just dying to "cheat", you have a massive cookie craving, or if you still feel hungry, you can make a batch of these as a pick-me-up. Don't have them ALL THE TIME as add-ons though...it will add up. Enjoy! Try it! Happy Saturday! <3 Cassey
First, blend up all of your ingredients! Then mix them in with the kale in a large bowl. Make sure every leaf is covered with love!
If you have a dehydrator (I have the Nesco 700 watt), place the leaves on the trays and make sure they are not touching each other. If you only have an oven, then lay the leaves on a baking sheet on a pan.
So pretty!
Set the dehydrator to about 135-145F for a 2-3 hours or until crunchy and not wilty. For oven people, turn up to heat to 350F and bake for 5 min. Then toss and bake for another 5. You need to be careful! These can burn very very easily.
Then after all of that work...this amazingness comes out!!!!!
The flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! It really tasted like Doritos and Jackelyn and I gobbled it up like monsters after our workout. I let her take the rest of the batch home on the plane but no worries...headed to Trader Joes immediately and got more kale :)
Give it a try guys! I know you will really love it. Next time I wanna try honey mustard flavor...oh and how about Hot Cheetos or Sriracha flavored kale chips!!??? That would be ridiculous. Okay, I am on it. It's my next mission.
What flavor do you think would be adventurous to try? Let me know in the comments! I'll pick one of yours to experiment with!
Tomorrow (Sunday) I am headed to a raw vegan cooking workshop all day! I am super duper excited to learn all about how creative you can get with vegetables! And what effect non-heated, live foods have on your body. Will share what I learn Monday!
Love you! Have a fabulous day and see you soon! Hope everyone did the 100 Burpee Burnout by now. If you didn't - you better get on it. I am watching you.

Hey guys! There is an amazing new recipe I need you to try! For once, get this.....There are NO bananas!!!! *applause* Here's the healthy recipe for 12 servings! You need to try! They are so creamy from the avocado and the crunch of the pistachio just finishes the flavor like nothing I've ever had. Instragam me pics when you're done! #blogilates
- 2 cups oat flour (you can put oats in a blender and make yourself)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 orange (peeled)
- 1/4 cup stevia
- 2 large egg whites (or 1 egg)
- 1 avocado (mashed)
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup shelled and chopped pistachiosDIRECTIONS: Mix everything together except for the pistachios. Top them last. Then set oven to 375F for 15 min and bake. Omg so good like you wouldn't believe!
Macarons are meringue based and made of egg white, almond meal, sugar, and food coloring.
Macaroons are made of egg white, sugar, and shredded coconut.
So today, I am going to show you a recipe for a confused macaroon. He is somewhere between both, but unlike the ones you see above, he doesn't have any added sugar and is a much healthier option. Ready for the Blogilates macaroon recipe? Here it is!
- 1 cup almond meal (you can get this at any healthy food store or you can take almonds and blend them until fine)
- 1 cup + 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 4-5 TBS of organic honey
- 1 TBS of non dairy milk
- dash of salt
Mix all of the ingredients above together in a bowl with your hands. Except for the 1/4 cup of shredded coconut.
Look at dat honey!
Carefully sculpt them into little balls and roll around in the other 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Then chill in the fridge for 10-15 min.
BAM! That's it! You're done. These were so delish and super sweet. 1 ball with a nice cup of tea is a perfect dessert! Now, I am not saying that these are so healthy that you can eat all of them because it does have a high natural sugar and natural fat content. It's just a better option than the traditional macaroons/macarons you see at the dessert shop. But seriously, so easy to make and you don't even have to bake them! I hope you enjoy this recipe and will make them for your friends! Takes about 15 min to make!
Next, I will try to see if it is possible to make the pretty macarons healthy style ones...I am already thinking...beets to make them pink...I like that they are made of almond flour and egg whites. Sugar can be subbed with Stevia. This might be possible...so I will letcha know when I can figure that one out!!
Love you!

Princess Minnie!
This is the legendary Monte Cristo Sandwich from Orleans Cafe. No, I wasn't the one who ordered it but you bet I demanded a bite! It is what it looks like guys. It's ham, swiss, and turkey dipped in a batter, and deep fried, then powdered with sugar, then smothered with a berry jam. It was soft, crunchy, sweet, salty, destructive, and beautiful all at once. If you ever go to Disneyland, get it so you can check it off your bucket list. Yes. Eating this should be on your bucket list :)We were all sooooo hot, sticky, and DISGUSTING after rides and lunch, so the obvious answer was to cool off with the famous Disneyland Dole Whip. I had read soooo many food blogs about this dessert and just wasn't sure what all the hype was about. When we got to the Tiki Room, there were 2 lines and they were a 20-30 min wait each. Umm. WHAT! I have never waited in line that long for dessert. But we waited, because, who knows when I'll be back! To the left you have the original Dole Whip. I'm pretty sure it's made of pineappes, sugar, and whipped cream of some sort in a soft serve style. To the right, you have the Dole Whip Float! Oh man. Basically fresh pineapple juice with Dole Whip on top. Guys, this was my YOLO on Saturday and it was worth EVERY BITE. Sweet, tangy, fluffy, cold and soft. I swear I will find the perfect recipe to make this Dole Whip healthy so that I can have it again! Watch out for a Cheap Clean Eats episode showing you how to make this... That day we walked over 26,000 steps which is over 10 miles! My legs are actually sore today. Do not underestimate the power of walking. Any other Disney fans out there? What's your fave Disney meal and fave Disney princess? Mine would have to be Pocahontas or Belle. ALRIGHTY! Now onto the Cheap Clean Eats episode of the week...

Hey guys!
Does this frozen yogurt bark make you feel patriotic? When I see it, I immediately think about the 4th of July...which happens to be Monday sooooo perfect timing yeah!!??!
I think themed food (in color or occasion) is extra cute, and oh-so-festive. There's an emotional connection to seeing food with our eyes and tying in nostalgia before taking even the first bite. So whether it's patriotism, childhood wonder, comfort, party-time, Easter, New Year's, GNO or a baby shower, be sure to go the extra mile and tailor your cuisine to match the event.
You'll be so happy to know that this frozen yogurt bark (modeled after the not-so-healthy fancy white chocolate bark you'll see in high-end stores) is remarkably healthy, easy, and can be made vegan or non-vegan. These are perfect for summer because they're cold, slightly sweet and really refreshing with bursts of real fruit POWER! Yes- I believe fruit is the ultimate super-hero because it's filled with antioxidants to beat down the bad free-radicals of life, plus, it's so yummy! So in essence, this bark IS LIFE!
Prepare the pan and get ready to sprinkle!

Hey guys!
Do you ever just wish you could have a little pop of bread-y carbs without all the added junk you get from pastries, muffins and cookies? Sometimes there's nothing better than a lightly sweet muffin that you can throw in your bag for a snack, nibble at with tea, or have for breakfast. These soft and fluffy apple cinnamon muffins have zero flour of any kind! I know, right?! NO flour?? How is that even possible? It must be magic! :P
You'll love how they look, feel and taste just like regular muffins that use flour. You can try using peanut butter or almond butter, but cashew butter really is the best! It's got a mild sweetness to it and a very neutral flavor, which allows the subtle apple notes to come through. You can also try these as a banana version by using mashed banana in place of the applesauce. The level of sweetness is really up to you. If you're using a concentrated sweetener like stevia, you don't need much at all; you don't want to add too much and have them taste bitter. If you use a granulated sweetener, such as monk fruit, you'll need about 2 tablespoons. If you use honey or maple syrup, it's also about 2 tablespoons. Muffins like these allow us to un-process our diets one little recipe at a time! Definitely give these a try so you can make your days just a little easier, brighter and tastier!

Hey guys! I am so excited to share this melt-in-your-mouth dish! Like really...get ready for a taste-bud explosion! Aside from being super adorbs (who doesn't like food it its own little boat?!) there's a lot going on in terms of texture, taste, spice, color and health benefits. Did you know that we can increase our fullness and satisfaction by activating more taste buds and senses? Think about it...after too many sweet meals and treats, you kind of just want more sweet stuff, but the craving doesn't go away even when you eat more sweets. It's that bottomless pit feeling that comes from meals that are all sweet, or all salty. Sure, other things play into this, like blood sugar spikes and empty calories not filling us up, but try it and see for yourself. Instead of devouring a bag of chips, have 8 chips with a spicy hummus dip squeezed with lemon. Not only will you get a nice dose of protein and healthy carbs, but you'll satisfy your need for spice, sour, and bitter with a little creaminess thrown in too. That leads us to this little beauty that sits inside one of nature's perfect foods: the avocado. The creaminess of this little fruit is the perfect counterpart to the chewy seasoned turkey meat, slightly crunchy bell peppers and spicy sriracha drizzle. You can totally put your favorite taco seasonings and additions into your meat mixture. I wanted to pack as much flavor as possible into this meal without a long list of ingredients. To do that, I chose a really flavorful red salsa with a decent amount of heat, because I like things SPICYYYY. A squeeze of lime adds a little acidity, and of course, garlic powder brings it all home. A 1/2 packet of taco seasoning would add a lot of flavor too, but just be sure to read your labels because some contain MSG and a long list of other ingredients, that, in my opinion, have no place in a seasoning mix. Check out the label from a common seasoning from the grocery store:
We start by scooping out a little avocado goodness into a bowl to create the boats and make our guacamole topping.

Our lives have a soundtrack. Certain songs transport us back in time, instantly. Characters are no different, they too have songs that influence their behavior, lyrics that give them dimension.
Lindsey Gray author of Redemption is here to talk about her Musical Inspiration:
Music has always been a huge influence in my life. I remember sitting around in my parents basement with my older sister listening to all her records. I remember buying my first 45, "Love Bites" by Def Leppard. Little did I know how much that purchase would influence the rest of my life.
When I was about 12 years old, I began writing seriously. I'd spend hours at the computer typing while listening to the voices of Axel Rose or Huey Lewis. The melodies and lyrics sparked my creative juices. I immersed myself in the bands of the seventies and eighties and became slightly obsessed with musicals. The complete stories that were told in just a few short minutes amazed me. Years later, I still am.
My major catalyst for my newest novel, "Redemption", came in the form of a song by British singer/songwriter, Robbie Williams. I had never heard of him until about four years ago. A friend of mine loaned me an iPod that had about 12 of his songs on it. One of them was called "Advertising Space". It moved me in ways a song never had before. The lyrics were a little eerie yet beautiful. His voice and his words sent me on a journey looking for more. It was when I found the song "Feel" that I was completely blown away. My mind went instantly into creative mode and the character of Lily Edwards was born. I wanted to create a vampire that no one had seen before, not just her characteristics, but her background as well. I know it was more than likely not his intention to portray the song the way I saw it, but that's the beauty of a song, it's up to the listener to interpret it's meaning. I saw it from a more literal point of view.
Come on hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste
Lily is a vampire who was created in 1905 and through the years has grown to have a very close connection with God. She is positive that once she has served her purpose as a vampire she will move on to the heavenly plane to be with the ones she loved from her human life. At the beginning of the story she is aching for the love she has in her life, making a decision to run away from it in favor of her love one's safety. She wants love and protection, but her existence has placed her in the realm of giving rather than receiving them. It is that view that leads her to a decision that will change her path forever.
One rather amazingly poetic and haunting song sparked the idea for this series and helped me create a world that I'm so privileged to be able to share with the world now. As each character was created, they either brought a song with them or I found a song that went with their story. I have a playlist that I play to get into each mindset. Like many writers, my characters speak to me, but in this instance, they also sing to me. Strange for some, but perfect in my auditorially stimulated mind.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some guidance. I'd like to create a tab panel with the tabs docked on the left/right, and is laid out similar to the attached image (I don't want the glyph/icon/text to rotate).
Any thoughts/tips on how to start and go about creating a custom tab UI like this? Has anyone already done something similar?

Best Brushes for a Yorkshire Terrier
How to Choose Combs, Brushes and Sprays for a Beautiful Coat
When you have a Yorkshire Terrier, taking care of the coat is a crucial task to not only keep the dog looking fantastic, but it also plays a huge role in both skin and coat health.
If your meticulously groom your Yorkie but are not satisfied, it may very well be due to not having the best brush and comb.
In this section we will go over the 3 elements that are most important: comb, brush and leave-in spray. Once you have the best ones for this breed, you'll find that brushing your puppy or dog and ending up with a super healthy, shiny coat is easy as a breeze.
Wrong Brush VS Right Brush
It's a bit amazing the damage that incorrect grooming tools can inflict. Sometimes you will notice damage right away. But in other cases, it will be a culmination of what a brush does over time. One day, you'll take a look at your Yorkie and wonder 'what went wrong?'. Luckily, this breed has relatively quick growing hair and it has a coat that responds well to the tools used on it.

Let's look at the difference a brush can make and why:
Dull Vs Shiny
– Every day, around the clock actually, a dog's body is producing oils. Minuscule amounts are released through the skin pores. This acts as a natural lubrication. When you bathe your Yorkie you rinse this away and start with a clean slate.
However, in between those baths, when you are brushing your Yorkshire Terrier, the brush you use will either leave those oils trapped near the skin (doing nothing advantageous for the hair) or it will distribute them from root to tip (one element in helping to produce shiny, healthy hair).
Frizzed VS Smooth
– No doubt, even a bit of frizzed hair can ruin a coat. And if a Yorkie's coat is not smooth, many owners then back away from brushing. They fear that the more they brush, the worse it may get. And in a way this is true: If you are using an inferior brush it can very well cause more damage.
On the other hand, when using a top quality brush that works best for this breed, the pins of the brush, the distance in between those pins, the quality of the pin head and the flex of the brush cushion will all play a role in brushing through the coat leaving
soft and smooth.
A Yorkie Resisting VS Complying
– It's difficult to properly brush a Yorkshire Terrier if the puppy or dog has no patience for allowing you to do it. A huge factor in this is his level of comfortability while the grooming task is being done. A half brushed coat is going to look just that.
Fortunately, some of the best brushes for the Yorkshire Terrier breed actually feel good for the dog. Quality textures and proper tension (of both pins and cushion) can offer what feels like a nice body massage or light scratching. And most dogs simply love this.
Your 1, 2 and 3 of Brushing- Comb, Brush, Leave-In Spray
There are 3 basic elements of brushing a Yorkie and this holds true no matter the dog's
or if the coat is short, medium or long.
If you follow implement these 3 elements and use the best grooming tools possible, you'll soon see that you fall into a rhythm.
Your Yorkie doesn't mind the attention (it feels good), things move along quickly (you're not stopping to worry what the tools are doing) and it becomes second nature to hop from combing to spritzing to brushing.
1. Combs
For all but very closely shaved coats, you'll want your first step to be a combing over the entire coat. Even the best brush in the world cannot avert the disaster of what skipping the combing can do.
Small tangles, and we're talking about super small, can be in the coat. You may not see them, however the Yorkshire Terrier coat can certainly tangle and it all has to start somewhere: tiny ones.
Just as importantly, the combing will prep the coat for brushing. Using a really good comb will separate the hairs, thus making it able for the brush to do its job.
For these reasons, you will want to carefully comb each section.
What is the best comb to use for a Yorkie?
You will want to use a wide toothed steel comb with a 2 different widths of spacing between the teeth.
You will want fine spacing on one end; this is used for the legs on which hairs are more delicate.
You will want medium spacing on the other end (too wide of spacing will negate the purpose of the comb) and this is used for the main body, chest, neck and
of the Yorkshire Terrier.
And be sure to o
pt for a quality brand this durable: cheap steels will warp, bend and rust.
You will also want a tiny facial comb sized for toy breed dogs to go over facial hairs that a body comb or brush simply cannot do.
Finally, for cases in which you suspect or know that a mat is present, you will want to first use a de-matting comb.
To summarize:
You'll want 3 combs:
Your basic all-over body comb to go over the coat before brushing
. Your small facial comb to thoroughly go over the face and ears. This is also good for super tiny Yorkies and smaller areas like the paws.
Your de-matter if there happens to be a tangle that you cannot work out.
2. Brushes
Choosing the right brush is crucially important, as we mentioned above in regard to dull VS shiny, fizzed VS smooth and how well the brush is tolerated
Though the comb and spritz play a role as well (and also the shampoo & conditioner), if you don't have a quality brush, the coat will never look gorgeous.
The best brush for a typical Yorkshire Terrier will be a quality pin brush and please note that in general pin brushes can range from terrible to fantastic.
Qualities of a great pin brush:
High quality pins
– Pins on inferior brushes will bend and/or recess back into the cushion. Once either of these two things occurs, the brush will no longer be effective.
Superior pin heads
– A huge factor is the quality of the tips of the pins. This is the element that makes contact with the
and hairs of the Yorkie.
– Too strong of tension in a brush can cause discomfort and irritation to a Yorkie's skin. Yet, if the brush tension is too weak, you'll be brushing in vain as you won't be able to reach down as you should and the brush will not offer proper pressure as you brush down the coat.
– You will want the brush to be sized correctly to effectively reach all areas of the body, gliding from one spot to the next. You'll also want it to feel good in your hand.
Boar Bristles Brushes
While a superior pin brush will do everything you want it to do, if your Yorkie has a long show coat and you want to make some finishing touches, you will find that a quality boar bristle brush is just the tool for that final sweep around the coat.
You will still do element 1 (comb), element 2 (brushing with the pin brush) and element 3 (the spritz we will discuss next), but the boar bristle brush (which we will call 'element 2.5') can offer a smoothing effect which adds a nice, finishing touch.
3. Spritz/ Coat Spray
The product that you use while brushing is referred to by many names: finishing spray, leave-in spritz, conditioning spray and brushing spray. This plays a big role in how your Yorkie's hair looks when you are done brushing and it also is a contributing factor to the
of the coat and its durability between baths.
Please stand clear of inferior products that can block skin pores and add a sticky feeling to the coat.
What a good spritz will do:
Protect from contact friction
– All day long your Yorkshire Terrier's coat is coming into contact with things… the carpeting, flooring, furniture, his bedding, etc. And each time the hair rubs against surfaces, it can wear down the hair's natural protective layer.There can be static issues and over time, the coat can lose its shine.
Shield from outside elements
– The cold winds of winter, the hot rays of the summer's sun… outside elements affect the coat. A good leave-in shields it from all of this.
Prevent breakage
– When you 'dry brush' you risk causing split ends. Each individual hair strand of a Yorkshire Terrier has an outer protective layer. The tip of each strand is where that layer is most vulnerable to damage. It can wear away due to external stress, i.e. brushing.
Once this happens, it
up the hair shaft (while you will not see that one strand looking frizzed unless you use a magnifying glass, the more there are like this, the more the coat will not present as it should). Then, the hair – bare without protection – will snap off.
So, bottom line,
when you brush your Yorkie, do so with a protective spritz. It will be just the thing to give you the desired outcome and will continue to work after the brushing is done.
Spritz AS YOU GO, section by section. Do NOT use a lot (a little goes a long way) and start at the roots, working the brush down in nice sweeps that distribute the product through the coat. If your Yorkie has a long coat, you may need to spritz at the 1/2 mark down each hair section and then brush out to the tips.
In general, under normal conditions, you can spritz each time you brush and if you are
busy and 3 or 4 days have gone by without a full body brushing, spritz a bit into your hands and rub into the coat, making sure to get the hair tips.

Brushing Tips
Expect for a full comb & brush to take 10 minutes, and perhaps 15 if your Yorkie needs to become accustomed to it. While you will be tempted to concentrate on the back and flanks, it will be important to brush all areas of the body and that will go a long way in giving you a completed, finished coat.
Remember the 1, 2 3 of it all:
1 is to comb. 2 and 3 is your brush & your spray.
For short and medium length coats, a Yorkshire Terrier should be brushed twice a week and
at the very least
1 time per week. Even if the coat looks great and the dog looks super clean, do not be fooled. That gorgeous coat will not stay that way unless you do a brushing on schedule. Maintenance is vital.
For long coats, 3 times per week with a
of twice per week is recommended.
If not, tangles may occur, body oil will not be properly distributed, the hair will be a mess and brushing will be a much more arduous task than it needs to be.
There are some brushes for canines (mainly used for show) that cost between one hundred and two hundred dollars. If your Yorkie does not partake in the show ring, you of course to not need to spend that much.
However, if you want your Yorkie to look beautiful, a cheap $5 brush is not going to let you achieve that.
A small investment into a few qualities
tools is a wise one: the brushes and combs are going to be much more durable and last much longer. What's better, a $6-dollar brush that lasts 1 year and slowly ruins the coat or a $20 brush that lasts 3 years and aids in creating a beautiful coat?

3). Spell based classes don't work well at all.
4) Spell casting time is too long.
5) You must pay for more spell slots

Thats all I can think of ATM.

I used to be a Pocket Legends fanatic - I was there when the game started. Once you hit the level cap you sit around for a month and wait for an update, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Sure, things have changed now. However, quite honestly, I see much more potential for Celtic Heroes in the beginning then I did when I was with Pocket Legends in the beginning.
Don't underestimate this game's potential.
P.S. - Obviously this post will get a lot of hate on the Pocket Legends forums, but be aware I'm giving my unbiased opinion after playing both games since they've been released.
Level 45 Archer - Pex

In my honest opinion, the game does have lots of potential. However I still play PL since the gameplay is more glitzy and such.
Level 45 Archer - Pex

My wand looks like a Jumja stick. That's a Bajoran snack you can get from a vendor on DS9*. How did THAT get in the Celtic World? :P I'm Irish. We think of ourselves as the Celts. The setting is Scotland, unfortunately. The attack animation (note I am using the singular), gets old quickly. They have spells that have skill level and skills, too, so somehow in order to use that fire spell, you have to find the skill that increases. I found a skill for ice magic, but no ice spell. I appear to be doing the exact same things at level 11 that I was doing at level 1. I can hit with my Jumja stick or I can do a slight bit of fire damage. That's all I can do.
If there were a variety of attack animations, a variety of spells, a variety of armors and weapons... I'm sure you see the pattern... If it had more variety overall, it could be interesting.
I don't play it often. And I'm not on O&C. I just play PL most of the time... or Real Racing 2 HD.
*= Jake pesters Nog as the young Ferengi ignores him in favor of the pink (root beer flavored?) Jumja stick.

Search and Betray
This was a school project with about ~14 people working on it.
Not all of them are here on GitHub.
Essentially it was a test how well we would perform in a group while working together.
We all learned a lot while making this game and I am thankful that we started it.
Personally, I worked on the server, while most of the other work went into the game made in Unity.
Most models, sounds and textures are custom made.
For most of us this was also the first time using GitHub.
You will see a lot of mistakes in the beginning, but eventually we manage to communicate a lot more.
We started using GitFlow instead of creating branches without system.
More Interfaces were created to simplify the entire process.
All in all I would say this was a successful project, everyone learned a lot while working on it.
In Pull Request #34 the C# server was replaced by a JavaScript Server using Node.js
I'm using some things that are not in version 4.4.5 (mostly Buffers),
so at least version 6.2.1 is required.
You can download it here
To start it, simply call

Eliquis (Apixaban) is an oral antiplatelet belonging to class of direct factor Xa inhibitors. It is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer under the trade name Eliquis. It acts by inhibiting Factor Xa, which is a key blood clotting protein that decreases level of a thrombin, thus Eliquis indirectly decreases clot formation. Eliquis was approved by FDA on December 28, 2012, for the prevention of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation.
Eliquis is used for
- Reduction of Risk of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation
- Prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery
- Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism
- Reduction in the Risk of Recurrence of DVT and PE
In June 2014, patient started on Eliquis died of gastrointestinal bleeding as a complication within two months. It was observed Eliquis can increase the risk of uncontrollable bleeding, and is more prone when taken at the same time with Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Serious Alleged Injuries may include:
- Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding
- Rectal bleeding
- Kidney bleeding
- Cerebral hemorrhage
- Hypovolemic shock
- Death
Eliquis Litigation
The first lawsuit against Eliquis was filed in July 2015. The manufacturers claim that the Eliquis is superior in safety and effectiveness as compared to Warfarin but there is lack of clear evidence in its support. Eliquis does not have an antidote to stop the bleeding complications.
Evidence to be looked for in potential cases
- 1. Usage of Eliquis
- 2. Duration of Eliquis usage
- 3. Indication for Eliquis usage
- 4. Complications and treatment after Eliquis usage
Medical Record Review and claim validation of Eliquis case should take approximately 3 hours in most instances; however, this approximation may vary in cases based on the volume of records.

This competition scheme proposed a new zero energy office building for a software company. The scheme is designed to be extended in phases, with the first phase of development creating a coherent building that can be extended with ease but does not look unfinished in the interim. The building typology is H-shaped in plan, with two wings of office accommodation linked by a slim connecting structure; it rises to three storeys towards the west of the site and the ground slopes away to reveal the podium structure, containing underground parking, on the eastern side. staircases are located at the heart of the plan within each of the main 'wings', freeing up the entire facade for office accommodation with views out onto the surrounding parkland. The building presents a strongly defined elevation to the street, while those elevations facing the parklands are characterised by set-backs that create external terraces above the podium.back to index

How To Use Keywords To Strengthen Your Resume
As all job seekers have had to learn, in today's job market, it's important to do absolutely everything you can to make your resume stand out to employers. There are growing numbers of industry-specific job boards where job seekers can upload their resumes directly for employers and recruiters to search. On the one hand, this is great, because it means you don't have to constantly be on the lookout and apply for every new opening in your field. Instead, recruiters and potential employers can find you before you even submit an application!
However, with so may resumes available to browse, employers need to be able to quickly and efficiently cull a lot of potential applicants. After all, no one has the time to read hundreds or even thousands of resumes in the hope of finding the perfect candidate for a single job opening! Instead, many employers and recruiters use keyword-searchable databases to scan these resumes for keywords that relate to particular job openings: this process is called an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). With the help of this technology, it's easy for employers to simply eliminate those resumes that don't include the right keywords from consideration.
(Before going further, it's important to note that this isn't the case in all industries or for all employers—in some fields, for example, your cover letter is the first thing about you a hiring manager sees, which means that that cover letter has a much bigger initial impact on your hiring chances than your resume. However, more and more companies—especially, for example, large Fortune 1000 companies—are relying on Applicant Tracking Systems.)
But how can you, as a job seeker, take advantage of this technology? How do you prepare your resume to be database searchable? These are the questions I'll focus on in this article.
Once you know how keywords are used by employers to eliminate—or find!—applicants, you can use this knowledge to your advantage. I'll describe what kinds of terms are most often searched for as keywords. I'll also go over some of the best, most successful practices for including keywords in your resume.
Of course, it's impossible for any job seeker to magically find out exactly which keywords any particular ATS will search for. However, there are a number of characteristics that most keywords share. For example, keywords tend to be nouns rather than, say, adjectives or descriptions of job responsibilities. This means that "project leadership" is more likely to be a search term than, say, "responsible for taking the lead on several projects." Even though both of these phrases convey the exact same information, using the first term in your resume is more likely to make that resume show up in a database search. The second term, on the other hand, is less likely to be caught by the very same search algorithm, which means that your resume is more likely to end up in the discard pile—before anyone even reads it!
Ok, so using lots of nouns in your resume is important. What kinds of nouns should you use, though? First of all, it's important to fill your resume with nouns that are relevant to the experience and skills that an employer in your industry would look for in an ideal candidate. These can be anything from very specific "hard" skills necessary in a particular field; expertise in relevant technologies; industry-related buzzwords, technical terms, the names of specific companies and products; and so on. Other common keywords are "soft" skills such as, e.g., "multitasking," "customer service," "troubleshooting," etc. (For more information about how to figure out which keywords are most likely to be searched for in your industry, see our article about how to find the right keywords for your resume.)
Even if you've filled your resume with lots of keywords, though, remember that how you fit those keywords into you resume can be just as important as including them in the first place.
One easy way to fit keywords into your resume is to have a "Profile" (or "Key Skills," or "Areas of Competence," or similar) section at the beginning. Here, you can simply list those skills and experience you think are most likely to be search terms in your industry.
(When providing this advice, though, I have to note that some—thought not all—employers strongly dislike resumes that list skills without any further information or context. And, of course, your potential employer's preferred resume style is something extremely difficult if not impossible to figure out before submitting your resume and receiving a response. Still, including a list of skills is one way to get your resume through at least the first round of database searching. Also, some employers love these profile or skill sections, because they make it easier to get a sense of what you have to offer as an employee—that is, once your resume makes it past the initial database search.)
However, since database searching technologies are becoming more and more advanced, some ATS systems are able to note when a resume includes lots of keywords at the beginning but otherwise lacks them almost entirely. These kinds of resumes are more likely to receive a lower ranking, even if you've included all the right search terms. Similarly, some ATS systems can determine whether keywords occur only in an isolated bulleted list, or if they're embedded in context—descriptions of your past responsibilities and achievements, for example. These advanced databases are much more likely to rate resumes higher that include keywords not (only) in isolation, but within descriptions of your work experience, accomplishments, education, and so on.
Ok, so given all this information, what is the most important advice for crafting a resume that will be selected and given a high ranking by today's ATS systems?
First, make sure your resume contains as many keywords as possible. It can be extremely helpful to make a list of possible keywords before you start writing your resume, so that you have something concrete to work from. Remember, these keywords should be nouns, and they should include both industry- or even company-specific terms as well "soft" skills that are important across industries and positions.
Second, make sure your keywords aren't confined to a single section of your resume. Start out with a list of your areas of expertise, achievements, or even career goals. But, also make sure these keywords are represented within every other section of your resume, preferably within some sort of work-related context (or any context that illustrates your skills and achievements resulting from these skills within specific examples). Note that it's ok—ideal, even—to repeat keywords (especially keywords you think are particularly important) throughout your resume. Many ATS systems note the "keyword density" of each resume: resumes with more keywords and more instances of each keyword are ranked higher by the software because of their keyword density scores.
Third, make sure you include as many forms of a particular search term as you can think of. For example, if one of your skills is management, don't just include the keyword "management." It's possible that a particular database might be searched for the word "manager" but not the word "management." If you've included both terms—as well as any other similar possibilities—you don't have to worry about being rejected because you used the wrong word even though you have the right skills.
The growth of online resume databases and keyword searching technology in many different industries has made the process of applying for jobs very different from what it was years ago. However, armed with the knowledge of how keywords and ATS systems work, you can use these changing technologies to your advantage—hopefully giving you a step up on your competition!
