Melody Chen
The world is a big, bad, scary place and you're going to need more than a smile and personality. Melody Chen shows us how.
BY Darren Foong | Apr 13, 2016 | Women We Love
Even on a rainy Friday afternoon, Raffles Place is bustling. A relentless stream of leather oxfords and high heels pounds back and forth past the little booth blaring live radio, unheard by the stream of corporate unconsciousness. Despite the hubbub, Melody Chen, 38, sits in her own bubble of calm, unfazed by it all. A smile appears on her face every time she speaks into the microphone—come to think of it, she's smiling even when it's just the music playing.
The grin persists later in the second-floor café, where we talk. The cacophony of bean grinding, ice being shovelled into cups, and the hiss of the espresso machine does not bother Chen as she brightly recounts her shrewd decision to watch Madonna in Bangkok instead of Singapore.
"If you added up my tickets, flights and hotel," Chen says, "you still wouldn't reach the price of tickets sold in Singapore. And because Singapore will cut this, cut that," the slip into Singlish almost challenges us to defy this next observation, "[the songs in her Bangkok performance] had nuns in panties doing pole-dancing, okay?"
This certainly dispels her girl-next-door appeal. It's easy to see why she was saddled with that label in the first place. In The Teenage Textbook Movie, Chen fitted the role of Mui Ee, a bespectacled student draped in an unflattering blue pinafore, so well that you'd be hard-pressed to imagine anyone else who could have played the straight-laced character.
Even when she's doing other things like hosting, gracing magazine covers, acting, and now, radio, it's a little disconcerting to see how far removed Chen is from Mui Ee. Chen is goofy, lets fly an expletive every once in a while, and is very Singaporean, the sort who'll slip into little voices and impersonations to make her friends laugh. It's almost as we're speaking to someone human.
Diving into the deep end
You can blame Madeline Tan-Barber (also known by her nom de radio Maddy Barber) for Chen's foray into radio. "I said, you want me to do radio?" Chen scoffs, with a slight shake of her head. "But I'm so old already! Seriously, to start radio from zero after I'm 35? What would people think?"
Before she became the voice on the airwaves, Chen was well-known as an actor. It's common for radio DJs to transition to acting, but an actor to switch to radio? That's rare and almost unheard of. Her detractors will probably opine on Chen's inability to secure an acting role. They will tear her down as the baseless conjectures build around her.
There's steel in Chen's voice when she says, "I put myself up to it. I was determined to learn something new and achieve that on my résumé." She gave herself five years in the industry. Let's see how long she can hack it for.
"I thought they'd pair me with someone more experienced, or ask me to shadow them," Chen says before slipping into an emphatic timbre imitating her boss, Jamie Meldrum. "No. I'm throwing you in at the deep end. You'll learn how to manage all the controls right from the start. If you wanna be a DJ, you just do it."
Chen recorded dozens and dozens of demo tapes, and each time Meldrum would give the thumbs down. Again, he'll intone. Once more. Despite the umpteen rejections, it's clear from the reverence in Chen's voice how much she appreciates the drilling. "He taught me to ask: am I talking to one person, or 10,000 listeners? Working as just a voice is tough, so I had to learn how to operate the console. It's an invaluable skill to have."
Meldrum's boot camp seems to have paid off. Chen gets Facebook messages from fans that listen online, from as far away as Nashville in the US state of Tennessee, who became curious about Singapore after listening to her talk.
To the average listener, you might assume that the words streaming off the broadcast are just banter, but a lot of thought goes into her broadcasting.
"Sometimes, my links are only 30 seconds, because from 10am to 5pm, people want to listen to music. They don't want to hear you go"—Chen's voice goes an octave higher—"Oh! Today I had laksa for lunch, and it was really good."
While Chen has found solace in her newfound radio life, it isn't all roses. For one, she takes umbrage at not being able to talk about what her target audience wants to hear.
"The thing is," Chen says, "our radio station [ONE FM 91.3] is focused on men; we should be open to topics that guys like to talk about such as babes or boobs."
They still get fined, and according to Chen, it wasn't even for swearing; it was the mere suggestion of certain topics such as sex. She rolls her eyes at the admission. "The censors are like a bunch of old ladies."
It wasn't easy. When she started working on the weekends, she lamented that she couldn't imagine heading down to the studio every day. The air is suddenly thick with irony as we're surrounded by frustrated salarypeople, plinking away on their mobiles as they drown in office gossip and their sixth shot of caffeine. I wonder out loud if she's ever had a day job?
"I did!" Chen says. "When my dad had cancer, I worked in the family's office equipment company."
It was just after The Teenage Textbook that she had to live out the nine-to-five life. It was a "take wallet, go out for lunch, return" kind of existence. "I lost touch with the world during that time," she recalls.
And to add to that burden, Chen was taking night classes for a diploma in Mass Communications. See, Chen was once enrolled in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, but after two years, she had to drop out.
I have an inkling on why she dropped out. I want to corroborate it but she beats me to the punch.
"I'm not afraid to say that I got booted out because I kept flunking." It is said so matter-of-fact, so very much like her.
Hopping over humps
The Teenage Textbook started out as a book by Adrian Tan, who followed it up with a sequel, The Teenage Workbook. When I was handed a copy of Textbook at 15, I connected with the book. It just clicked. When I returned it the next day, I clamoured for the sequel.
Textbook doesn't seem to have aged a decade at all—very much like The Princess Bride, but with pinafores and school canteens. There's a fairy tale aspect to it, how everything is neatly concluded, tied up in a little bow.
In an academic-focused place like Singapore, flunking out of school is considered an anathema.
So imagine Chen, hanging with the cool kids at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. They are attired in fashionable threads of the period and are going to sign up for the most popular, hip course to study: Mass Communication.
But before you can be a Mass Comm major, there is the entrance exam to overcome. Chen failed to slay that dragon. She fell from grace and landed among the thorny fields of Business Studies.
Still, with a little help from her friends and a generous dollop of elbow grease, she copes with the course.
"I'm okay with Oral Business Communications, but Stats?" Chen winces. "[And] Microeconomics.... Macro-economics... Principles of Financial Accounting? Oh my God."
In the end, she couldn't get her grades up and she left. Soon after, she took up the reins of her family business and did her Mass Comm at MDIS in Bukit Merah. The toll of it left her drained, but there was a sense of accomplishment doing hands-on work with radio and advertising.
And then, finally, the validation of her labour earned her a place at Chapman University in California. This was an opportune moment to put her plans into action: she was to have studied film and the endgame will have seen her go into producing and directing. A fairy tale ending. Alas, this is real life that we're talking about; a happily-ever-after is relegating to the pages of a book. There's more to go before Chen can sleep.
"My dad was sick," Chen says, "and I felt that I should be here." Pause. "And also I was scared to [travel overseas]."
It could be argued that the piety towards her father was a smokescreen for her fear of not making it; after all, she dropped out of Mass Communications, but she's made her bed, and now lies in it.
"I could either go to university or the school of hard knocks," Chen says solemnly, "and I made my choice."
And without missing a beat, "but you don't treat it as a wall; you treat it as a little hump. You hop over it, and then you go." Chen's energy spikes, "Okay, what's next?"
It's around this time that it dawns on me that Chen is unflappable. Life has thrown her several curveballs that would cripple a lesser protagonist, but this is her story. Chen doesn't want it to be a cautionary tale for others. Her father, her husband and herself have suffered health scares, and she's suffered other instances of personal and professional disappointment. The leitmotif, however, is one of survival. What's that tired maxim? Keep on keeping on.
Apparently, her stubbornness, her will to carry on, was inherited from a regimental army-dad and a John Henry Newman quote: A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault.
"My father's always been determined," Chen says. "He taught me to strive." Back then, both father and daughter were often at loggerheads, giving as good as he got, the man also wrote her letters telling her how proud he was of her.
Their relationship is better these days. Time has tempered tempers and reason is the peace pipe that is shared between them.
When God closes a door...
If the Television Corporation of Singapore (back before it took on the name "Mediacorp") had not put Wong Li-Lin in their advertisements for drama classes, Chen might not have taken up acting, never have taken their classes, never have walked in, raw and straight into the lead role for The Teenage Textbook Movie. "I read the script, met the director, got a callback and that was it," Chen says. "That changed my life."
Not necessarily for the better, as it turns out.
She still recalls vividly the super budget conditions on the movie set: cold burgers left in vans, or chicken rice hurriedly scarfed squatting by drains, or simply no food from first light at 6am to the wrap of the shot at 7pm. The people were no more inviting with their attitudes. She mimes a cameraman tsking loudly after she flubbed her lines, the director coming up to her and slashing her lines from the script, and another member of staff dragging her painfully by the arm to her mark; all these indignities and more for a measly SGD50 a day.
Stage acting held its own set of challenges as well. "Four years of my life, enough!" she declares with finality. For all her hard work, it just wasn't putting food on the table, even as she gushes endlessly about getting to work with the late theatre great, Krishen Jit, and how he forced her to laugh and laugh until it was convincing.
But while she had her shares of misfortunes, there was a moment when it all came together for her. On the set of historical mystery-drama Serangoon Road for HBO, Chen was treated humanely. There was the director who knew how to get the best out of actors, air-conditioned green rooms and food always at hand, and of course, the amazing talent that she got to work with. "So many of my scenes were with Joan Chen." Chen pretends to be a fangirl, "Joan Chen! I saw you in The Last Emperor! I was so scared, but so happy. And they even got Chin Han from LA!
"They kept everyone happy, and obviously, the work came out great—you can see it—everyone did a good job. Not to be pessimistic, but if that's my swan song for acting, I'm good."
You can almost hear an anthem in her passion as she talks about acting. Even as she makes a self-deprecating joke about it ("I don't think acting is something you can retire from. I will eventually age, but maybe I can be in The Golden Girls in the future!"), it already sounds like she's preparing her audition in her head.
For now, though, her focus is radio, partly because she's having difficulty in landing more acting gigs. She starts describing the classic cliché of a door shutting but a window opening, somehow managing in true Chen fashion to complicate it into 10 shut windows and a tiny open one that you can hop through. "The older you get, I feel it's harder to see that small window. But maybe, now's the time to get off my butt and just say, [Screw] it and make a window myself."
She gazes into the distance. "Some people just give up totally on the media, and I suppose that I could, but I've been very lucky that there's always been something bringing me back to it. It gives me second thoughts; maybe I have been put here for a reason. And that's how I've been living my life, continuing on in that direction."

text: By DESMOND BUTLER and SUZAN FRASERSOMA, Turkey (AP) a¿¿ Amid wails of grief and anger, rescue workers coated in grime trudged repeatedly out of a coal mine Wednesday with stretchers of bodies that swelled the death toll to 274 a¿¿ the worst such disaster in Turkish history. Hopes faded for 150 others still trapped deep underground in smoldering tunnels filled with toxic gases. Anti-government protests broke out in the mining town of Soma, as well as Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heckled as he tried to show concern. Protesters shouted "Murderer!" and "Thief!" and Erdogan was forced to seek refuge in a supermarket, surrounded by police. The display of anger could have significant repercussions for the Turkish leader, who is widely expected to run for president in the August election, although he has yet to announce his candidacy. Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the mine's entrance Wednesday, waiting for news amid a heavy police presence. Rows of women wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sobbing or simply stared in disbelief as rescue workers removed body after body, some charred beyond recognition. One elderly man wearing a prayer cap wailed after he recognized one of the dead, and police had to restrain him from climbing into an ambulance with the body. An injured rescue worker who emerged alive was whisked away on a stretcher to the cheers of onlookers. Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine at the time of Tuesday's explosion: 274 died and 363 were rescued, including scores who were injured. The death toll topped a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near Turkey's Black Sea port of Zonguldak. It also left 150 miners still unaccounted for. Yildiz said rescue workers were trying late Wednesday to reach the bodies of up to 22 people trapped in one zone. Some of the workers were 1,400 feet (420 meters) deep inside the mine, he said.

The Rolling Stones Photos
The Rolling Stones Videos
EMP announced the first solo museum exhibit of one of the greatest rock photographers of all time. The Rolling Stones 1972, Photographs by Jim Marshall features 37 photos captured during the Rolling Stones' 1972 tour, and original album cover artwork for Exile on Main St..
The exhibit at EMP marks the 50th anniversary of the band, and the 40th anniversary of the legendary tour. The exhibit also coincides with the release of the book The Rolling Stones 1972 by Jim Marshall, foreword by Keith Richards, published by Chronicle Books.
"Once Jim was in, he was another Stone. He caught us with our trousers down and got the ups and downs. I love his work." – Keith Richards, from the foreword.
Marshall's insider status—combined with his keen eye and impeccable timing—has made for some of the most mesmerizing images in the history of rock photography. Covering the 1972 tour for Life magazine, Marshall captured indelible moments of the Stones onstage, as well as the camaraderie behind the scenes. Many of Marshall's images from the Exile on Main St. tour will be introduced to the public for the first time. The exhibit opens at EMP on July 14, 2012 and runs through January 6, 2013.
EMP is located in Seattle.

Brad Walsh's "Six Infinite" Album
Addressing inspiration, process and the nature of genres with the multi-talented artist
How often does one press play on a new album and feel as if they're hearing something that defies the genres they've known thus far? It's an uncommon experience—and one that very well might happen upon first listen of Brad Walsh's Six Infinite (released today, 28 October). The 16-track record dabbles with the known—EDM, pop, disco, R&B—but in a rich, complex fashion unites these varied inspirations, applies thoughtful (sometimes narrative) lyrics and yields an entirely danceable product. Walsh wrote and produced the songs. He's also the predominant vocalist, though exciting guest spots by Luscious Jackson and Juliana Hatfield complement his efforts. It's been five years since Walsh released his last LP Right Now, though he's dropped a few EPs along the way. It's safe to say that his most recent demonstrates the diversity of his skills with the most potent force.
"For me, the production is a huge emotional part of the song," Walsh explains to CH. "Especially with electronic music, where you can have so many weird sounds. The kind of music I make I am producing it all on a computer—screwing with everything to make it sound exactly how I want it to sound. That's a great tool for getting emotion across." As for process, Walsh begins with the music most often; lyrics follow suit. And frequently, it's listening to others' music that triggers an immediate flight to the studio. From there, Walsh lets the production guide his emotions, and the process itself can take over the direction of a track, steering it from where he initially imagined it would lead.
When asked about genre, Walsh touches upon a through line in music as a whole. "I think if you asked almost any musician to categorize what they do, they all give the same answer, 'I am uncategorizable.' When it comes down to it, generally, what I do is just pop," he says. "I like it because it can mean anything now. It was definitely, if I go back to the beginning of me being an artist, what really inspired me to want to make the music I make." Walsh references both Madonna's Ray of Light and Tori Amos' The Choir Girl Hotel as impetus to create, instilling a sense of wonder regarding the intellectual and emotional craft of electronic music. He can pinpoint where he first listened to both albums. That said, the term "guerrilla pop" resonates with him more than most. And as is implied, little sonic assaults and unexpected twists do pepper his work.
As for the title of the album—another in a string of numerically oriented releases—Walsh explains that this means more than just his sixth completed work. "You can see on the album cover that it's actually six of infinite [6/infinite], like a numbered piece of art. I believe in infinite universes, alternative realities, perhaps reincarnation and infinite lifetimes. I think this is the sixth release of an infinite pool of music or art of any kind that I am creating—or can create." As a considered, uncommon and cohesive piece of electronic music, Six Infinite makes us excited for all the Walsh will continue to imagine, produce and share.
Six Infinite is available now on iTunes for $10, or on Spotify.

Medieval Tallinn Day Tour from Helsinki
Overall Rating

Attended as
A great dayReviewed by: Val S, 2016/07/02
I experienced a great visit to Tallinn, travelling to and from the city by ferry from Helsinki. My guide, Ethel, was very professional, full of information, and very proud of her country. I was guided through the highlights of the city, a delicious lunch was provided, and I had a few hours of free time to further explore Tallinn before being driven back to the ferry terminal.
It was a perfect balance and I highly recommend it.

Despite the fact that there were a ton of awesome things to do this year, you didn't do any of them since you were mad busy marathoning House of Cards... and Homeland... and Game of Thrones... oh, and Below Deck... duuuuude and The Walking Dead (AND Sons of Anarchy [AND AND AND American Horror Story]). Make up for it by actually hitting these: NYC's 11 best restaurant openings of the year.
Not resting on his Throwdown laurels, celeb chef Bobby Flay opened this blockbuster back in March and it's been perpetually packed ever since, thanks to some of the best eats of the year -- from killer bar bites like the lamb tenderloin or eleven-layer potato to more formal apps and entrees, including a bomb tender roasted octopus, a lamb sausage & tomato jam pizza, and charred beef with blue cheese brown butter and red wine. Oh, and it all pairs nicely with a vibrant bar scene and cocktails (get the smokey Tony Juarez).
Among some strong options for pizza place of the year, Danny Meyer and Nick Anderer's Marta stands out with Roman-style, cracker-thin pies like the patate alla carbonara with guanciale, pecorino, and egg, or the salsiccia with mozzarella, pork sausage, and crimini mushrooms as well as some amazing grilled entrees (the trout saltimbocca with prosciutto, sage, & lemon is a standout).
Wilma Jean
Carroll Gardens
This place from the team behind nearby Nightingale 9 and the former Seersucker is one of the biggest reasons fried chicken had such a big year in NYC (along with this and this), but the fact that it's touting the whole simple package is what makes this one of our favorites. The menu is a collection of homey, well-executed comfort food, with go-tos like the moist, crunchy chicken dinner and double burger (single if you want to pay less than $10) topped with pimento cheese.
Union Square
This Venetian spot (with just a hint of Asian influence) is nice enough to qualify as fine dining, casual enough to not be intimidating, and delicious enough for neither to matter. The uni bucatini was one of the best pasta dishes of the year, the cocktails and wine fit well, and the rest of Chris Jaeckle's moves are on point as well -- including the black truffle arancini, the short rib with saffron risotto, and the lumache with aged duck ragu, treviso, and chocolate.
West Village
First of all, this place is an underground Peking duck restaurant, which is just cool. Second, it's also delicious. Located just below its sibling restaurant Red Farm, it can actually be a tight fit, but the Decoy Chips -- which are actually fried branzino skin with black garlic dip (that they usually offer for free to start the meal) -- help immediately.
The cocktails are top notch and interesting, and the main attraction, Peking duck, is everything you want it to be -- the flavors mix traditional with fusion thanks to the sauces, including hoisin, sesame, and cranberry, and the pancakes manage to hold up to stuffing despite being incredibly thin. Definitely try to come with a small group, though, so you can go beyond the duck with things like an excellent steak, lobster with rice noodles, and shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings.
Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.
We're suckers for an excellent lobster roll, and this place has one, put together fresh and in-house daily. The space also doubles as a fresh-as-hell fish market, which creates dishes like a fish taco that rocks whatever the optimal seasonal fish of the moment is, loads of oysters, whole lobsters, steamers, and thai curry green mussels.
Arrogant Swine
We don't care what people from other states say; NYC is turning into a damn good BBQ town, and this whole-hog, Carolina-style BBQ spot from Chef Tyson Ho, which's whipping up pork belly, sausage, ribs, and a giant turkey leg, is another reason why.
Ivan Ramen
The biggest ramen opening of the year is also the best (the spot in Gotham West Market is also amazing, but the LES version is a more complete experience). The Tokyo shio or shoyu is always a great move (get it fully loaded), but you may as well take this opportunity to try something like the BLT mazemen with kewpie, dashi, bacon, lettuce, & tomato. Instead of ordering two bowls of ramen, though, you can also load up on goodness like the roast pork musubi, pork meatballs, or tofu Coney Island topped with miso mushroom chili, mustard, and scallion.
This bustling spot from restaurateur Drew Nieporent (who also ran Montrachet, the previous incarnation of this space) delivers fine dining without ever getting overly refined or stuffy. The prix fixe menu is flexible, with two courses for $55, three for $65, or four for $75, and delivers dishes like octopus "pastrami" with braised ham hock, pommery mustard, and new potatoes; the Granny Smith & sweetbread strudel; and branzino with butternut squash, grilled lettuce, and pumpkin seed vinaigrette.
Dirty French
After receiving an almost deafening amount of buzz before opening, this spot from the team behind Carbone, Torrisi, ZZ's Clam Bar, and Parm unleashed an excellent one-two punch with The Lobby Bar at the Ludlow Hotel and this spot. It's hitting you with kick-ass French plates, like aged duck a l'orange with ras el hanout and preserved oranges; lamb saddle with potato and cumin; boudin with trinity pickles and Creole mustard; and a cote de boeuf for two.
East Village
On the forefront of the kinda-scary-but-kinda-delicious, vegetable-forward movement, Narcissa's Chef John Fraser is turning out some eats worth your consideration, from carrot fries and rotisserie beets, to whole rotisserie branzino with fennel/soft herb vinaigrette, and braised lamb with celery root hummus, delicate squash, and sesame seeds.

Brought to you by Chef Bobby Flay, Gato is located in a 100yr-old building and it serves fine Mediterranean fare in a casual and enjoyable environment.
From Danny Meyer and the excellent chef of Maialino, Nick Anderer, this Roman-style pizza joint in the Martha Washington Hotel is serving up simple pies like a Margherita with buffalo mozzarella, and less simple pies like the Capricciosa with mozz, artichokes, prosciutto, olives, and egg.
Armed with Southern hospitality, Wilma Jean in Gowanus serves up stackable portions of double cheeseburgers, fried bologna sandwiches, fried pickles, and its signature fried chicken, the latter of which is served atop a potato bun, on a stick, and in half-portions. Run by a husband and wife duo, the counter-service spot is a solid option for brunch, happy hour (its daily beer and wine deals are an added bonus), or for a late dinner, with the kitchen open until 10pm seven days a week.
Located right near the heart of Union Square is All'onda, a Japanese and Venetian hybrid restaurant housed in a rustic duplex building. The first floor has a spacious bar (complete with sake) where you can drink or dine without having made a reservation, and the second floor is dimly-lit with cozy booths and wooden rafters. The menu is limited, but the smoked uni bucatini is a must-try.
Located just below its sibling restaurant Red Farm, Decoy can be a tight fit, but the Decoy Chips -- which are actually fried branzino skin with black garlic dip (they're usually offered for free to start the meal) -- help immediately. Follow those with the main star; only 24 ducks are served each night , and the flavors mix traditional with fusions thanks to the sauces, including hoisin, sesame, and cranberry, and the pancakes manage to hold up to stuffing despite being incredibly thin.
At Greenpoint Fish and Lobster Co., you can expect to find only the highest quality of sustainably sourced seafood. This narrow spot -- awash in white tile and blonde wood with a seating area surrounding a marble bar and open kitchen -- is nothing short of a seafood haven. Head to the market in the front and do some grocery shopping of your own, where you'll find plenty of options on the ice.
This beer hall and home of all things pig from chef Tyson Ho brings a boat load of traditional North Carolina BBQ to the city along with enough whiskey and beer to float said boat on. The space is pretty sparse with ten small tables and a large bar, but when it gets warmer there's a patio where you can chow down. One of their specialties is the Western North Carolina Outside Brown, or pork shoulder. But probably their most unique offering is their mac and cheese waffle, which is exactly what it sounds like.
There's so much more than noodles to be had at Ivan Orkin's NYC flagship, especially at lunch when fusion sandwiches like the Herbie's International (Chinese-style roast pork and Tokyo duck sauce on a toasted miso garlic hero) and pork meatballs make an appearance. But don't get us wrong, there's a reason "ramen" is the name of the game: noodle guru Ivan Orkin has fused his Long Island upbringing and Tokyo training with age-old ramen traditions to make original and delicious dishes right here at home. The weekend brunch features a combination of whole-wheat noodles, cheddar broth, crispy bacon and scallion omelet ramen.
Named for French wines, this eatery only seves up two-, three-, and four-course meals that can start with anything from warm Kusshi oysters, fried pig tails, and pickles, and end with caramelized milk bread with fennel yogurt, blueberries, and brown butter ice cream.
Located in the Lower East Side's Ludlow Hotel, this glam bistro from Major Food Group (Carbone, Sadelle's, Parm) plays with Moroccan and New Orleans elements to create next-level French cuisine. The menu features elaborate takes on classics with plates like duck a l'orange with ras el hanout and preserved oranges; lamb saddle with potato and cumin; and a cote de boeuf for two. Dirty French is where you go when you want to make dinner an all-night affair, especially when the evening starts with a drink at its Lobby Bar.
Inside The Standard East Village, Narcissa crafts a seasonal menu based around farm-fresh Hudson Valley ingredients that are both light and filling. Two dining rooms and an outdoor space with a private garden view give off a cozy, upscale vibe complemented by a crowd of downtown regulars and hotel guests. The menu gives equal play to meat, fish, and vegetables, with an emphasis on roasted dishes. Be sure to order a side of the carrot fries -- they give their fried potato counterparts a run for their money.

How can I overcome my shyness of women and ask them out
Most Helpful Girl
Give it a go, kid. I see your age is in your thirties and I will be frank with you. Come off as a gentleman, not creepy. Both of these can easily switch. Have confidence! Don't just go up to a girl and ask them out like you know them. That scares me away more than anything. Casually spark up a conversation, compliment her on something else other than her looks..00|00|0
Don't know if I have it in me..

Kenneth Landfry (bugler?) - Charge of the Light Brigade
Some years ago, "Coral Records" produced an album titled "The Voices of the 20th Century", narrated by Henry Fonda. Short sound clips of famous individuals whose voices had been recorded for posterity during the early years of the phonograph, were amassed in this recording.
The first excerpt (recorded 1891) was performed by Kenneth Landfry, supposedly the bugler who sounded the command at The Charge of the Light Brigade. As part of the introduction (prior to his reenacting the event), it was claimed (that) this bugle was blown at Waterloo.
Does anyone know if: A) Landfry really was the bugler sounding charge at Balaklava and, B) The bugle in question was played at Waterloo AND Balaklava?

|Reviews for Heaven's Side Story
| top gear tony chapter 3 . 4/5/2013
Sweet story man. I mean really good, short to the point and a likeable ( none in your face) OC. I really like there was no romance as not every story needs one. I would have liked it to have been a bit longer but otherwise it's good.
| DezoPenguin chapter 3 . 3/22/2013
Very nice piece! A bit more traditional UF feel, with the hard-boiled detective overtones, and Rin is, as always, entertaining (I liked the riff on her tech-savvy, or lack thereof, with the pocket watch in the first chapter). The use of an OC narrator helped, too, in terms of preserving the impact of horror (that is to say, Rin might be scared by the thing's threat level, but not shocked by the "wrongness" of it; she's dealt with worse), although ironically I found the description of the creatures he'd faced in the past in the previous chapters were worse than that of the familiar here...ah, subjectivity. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a longer series done like this, with OC narration, but in terms of this shorter piece it works very well.

TV One's new hit show R&B Divas has the world paying attention once again to Rhythm and Blues. Drawing over 1 million viewers in its first week, there are plans to expand the show into different areas. We've comprised a list of the top ten R&B reality shows we want to see.
R&B Divas (Starring Lyfe Jennings, Dave Hollister, Donell Jones, Carl Thomas, and Jaheim)
We're seeing the lives of some of R&B's top women play out on TV. Now it's the guys' turn. Five of the greatest soul singers from the past 20 years give us a peek into their lives as they balance careers, fatherhood, and an industry that has somewhat cast the male R&B singer to the side.
RE-Making The Band with Dr. Drew (Starring Day26, Brutha, Total, Lucy Pearl, and City High)
Singing groups haven't had it easy over the last few years. Slowing sales, group members going solo, and in some cases, relationships within the group have made it hard for R&B ensembles. Perhaps Dr. Drew, best known for helping celebrities kick their drug habits, can bring the once great groups back together for chart dominance. There's nothing like walking to Junior's to get some cheesecake for the good doctor, to bring a group back together.
Keke's Kids
R&B singer Keke Wyatt is definitely one of the standouts of R&B Divas. One thing that has been the talk of the town is the fact that she has six kids. As talented as Keke is, one can only wonder if some of that superb singing has trickled down to her offspring. Could we be looking at the next Jackson 5…or six?
I Wanna Work For L.A.
No disrespect to Diddy or the Donald, but the world needs to see how to promote an R&B record. The next group of executives to be showcased should be under the tutelage of none other than R&B juggernaut Antonio "L.A." Reid. His past with acts like TLC, Usher, Toni Braxton, Ne-Yo, and Rihanna make him the perfect mogul to model after in this R&B world. Throw in a few appearances by Clive Davis and you've got yourself a show!
Friday's Best
There aren't that many artists who can get the party started like the great R. Kelly, but in this reality competition, Kells mentors two of the best party starters in the business: Cupid ("Cupid Shuffle") and Mr. C ("The Cha Cha Slide"). The Pied Piper will pit these two hit makers against each other to see who can craft the next "First Fridays" anthem.
SOUL Survivor (Starring Luke James, Elle Varner, Daley, Melanie Fiona, and Chrisette Michele)
What happens when you take the newest generation of soul singers and drop them on a deserted island? Romance, fights, comedy, and a LOT of singing!
Hell's Studio
So as fans of music we often hear only the finished product that is the song. What we don't get to see are the masters of the boards. The job of the recording engineer is often a thankless job with no glory, but under the guidance none other than Diddy, 5 studio engineers will be placed in the forefront to show that they are truly the stars of the music business.
Sister SOULdiers
Anyone who has followed TV One's R&B Divas has recently seen soul diva Syleena Johnson and her sisters Syleecia and Sylette. The on-air chemistry of these sisters would make for a great spin off. The daughters of the Rhythm and Blues legend Syl Johnson certainly have the pedigree and experience to show the world some real soul.
True Life: I Wanna Be an R&B Star
Everyone at one point in life has taken the stage in their room, brush in hand, with an audience of stuffed animals waiting to be entertained. True Life chronicles the lives of several aspiring singers in their quest to become the next superstars of soul.
Charm School
I know what you're saying–there's nothing new to the name. But this time instead of taking on reality show rejects, Charm School gives seven new artists something that the music industry hasn't given in a long time: Artist development. This Motown-esque finishing school would be governed by the originator of hip-hop soul himself, Andre Harrell. The winner would be granted a recording contract with Harrell's company Harrell Records.

Thurston Moore will headline the Scala this June!
Along with our friends at Bad Vibrations, we're excited to announce that King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard will be back in June for a show at The Forum in Kentish Town. Anyone who was at their sold out show at Electric Brixton recently will vouch that this should not be missed!
The wonderful Molly Nilsson will headline Oslo this June!
We're excited to announce that the brilliant Eyedress will be playing FREE show at Birthdays on 14 June!
We're excited to announce that Fujiya & Miyagi will be at Corsica Studios on 13 June!
We're very excited to announce that RIDE will be playing a very special show at Village Underground on the 12th June just a few days before their album release.
To be the first to get tickets at 9am tomorrow before they go on general sale on Friday, simply pre-order any of the exclusive album offers from the Ride store: http://smarturl.it/
(Please note – Anyone who has already pre-ordered the album from the band's store will automatically receive an access link email).
We're excited to announce that J. Bernardt will be playing a free show at The Waiting Room on 7 June.
Aphex Twin is headlining Field Day 2017 and will be performing on the new stage, The Barn!
The Barn will be a gigantic hanger-like construction with a state of the art high-powered sound system and one of the most technologically advanced lighting rigs around.
Consolidating to one day, Field Day will take place on Saturday 3 June.
Jakuzi, an Istanbul-based Turkish-language synth-pop band formed around the core-duo of Kutay Soyocak on vocals and Taner Yücel on bass and synths, will be releasing their debut album 'Fantezi Müzik' via City Slang on 24th March 2017.
Jakuzi don't sound like any other band out there right now. Their debut album 'Fantezi Müzik' could be described as a lo-fi pop masterpiece from a faraway time, place and perhaps an alternate universe. Think David Bowie having a fever dream in Turkey, Depeche Mode stranded at the Bosporus… but at the end of the day they just sound completely like themselves.
While music fans and the press were busy catching up on the Turkish legacy of 70s rock and psychedelia, a very active and vibrant underground music scene was developing under the radar in Istanbul. Jakuzi are the latest offspring, and their debut record might just change the international perception of contemporary Turkish music.
Plus support from DJ Fitz, check out one of his Mumbai inspired mixes HERE.
After her amazing sold out show at Moth Club last year, we're thrilled to welcome back Mabel for a headline show at Village Underground on 1 June!
EYOE are very pleased to announce that Hauschka will headline Village Underground on 30 May!
Confidence Man will play a free show at The Sebright Arms in May!

Jet City Amplification was launched in the Fall of 2009 with a goal of delivering great guitar amplifiers at affordable prices.
From Jet City:
"We came into the world with 5 simple products; a 20 watt head and combo which are based on Soldano's Atomic 16, and three cabinets. From there we added several new amplifiers, all with the "100% tube tone – 0% bullsh*t" mantra: simple, focused, and great-sounding products for guitarists. We've grown fast and added a lot of expertise to our product development, working with great developers around the world. As long as we keep the guitarist's experience simple, build a reliable and great-sounding product, and continue to have fun, we're happy.

Troubleshooting a Roman shade is an easy do-it-yourself project. Elegant and functional, these shades have been in use for centuries and the design has not changed much at all. The mechanics of the shade make the repairs straightforward and the materials are available at most home improvement stores.
Determine the Problem
Find the problems with a Roman shade by looking at the back side of the shade. The side facing the window will have the strings, hooks, rings and pulleys. Look for missing, broken or bent rings and hooks. Look for strings missing, twisted, knotted or disconnected from the bottom rail. Check the pulley to make certain that the roller is working.
Broken, Twisted or Knotted Strings
Remove broken, twisted or knotted strings and replace with similar cording. Attach the new string securely to the bottom rail in exactly the same place as the old string. Staple or nail the bottom strings to the bottom rail. Lace the new strings through the same rings, top hooks and through the pulley in the same pattern as the broken string being removed. Staple or brad nail disconnected strings to the bottom rail.
Broken or Missing Rings or Hooks
Remove and replace rings or top hooks if they are bent, broken or missing. Purchase similar rings at hardware or fabric stores. Use similar size and shape rings and hooks to the original. Replace all of the rings or top hooks if necessary. Sew new rings on fabric tapes and on liner fabric in exactly the same pattern as the original design.
Crooked Top Rail
Straighten and strengthen a worn or warped top rail by adding an additional rail to the existing top rail. Measure the top rail of the shade and cut a piece of 1-by-2-inch board. Cover the piece of wood with fabric similar or complementary to the existing Roman shade. Screw the new wooden rail to the old rail and secure both of them to the window.
Pulley Not Working
Replace the pulley with a new one purchased from a DIY store. Purchase a new pulley similar to the one being replaced. Pulleys do all of the heavy lifting for the Roman shade and must be screwed into the top rail. Screw the new pulley into the top rail in a slightly different location so that the screws are securely attached. Check the roller of the pulley. Remove any lint, dust or loose string with a damp artist brush. Remove all tags and labels from the new pulley. Spray the roller with silicone lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant. Restring the Roman shade by pulling all of the cords through the top hooks and then through the pulley.
Crooked Shades
Check the strings for tension while the shade is up, down and in motion. Stand behind the shade and move it up and down. Watch the motion of all of the strings and the pulley. Look for wear marks on strings. Dark wear marks are an indication that some strings are doing all the "heavy lifting" and the tension is incorrect. Tighten the tension on the strings while the shade is in the down position. Stand behind the shade and gently pull each string until it is just taut from the bottom through the pulley. Tie a knot in the group of strings on the outside of the pulley.

About Old 96 District
Why is this area of South Carolina called the Old 96 District?
From all reports our region was named after a judicial district dating back to the Colonial era when law and order came to the South Carolina backcountry. This area was 96 miles down the Cherokee Path from Keowee, a major Cherokee town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the plot of land called South Carolina.
How did the name Ninety Six Originate?
One legend says that at one time there were 9 creeks running east and west and 6 creeks running north and south and they came together at one central point. This point was named Ninety Six. The Cherokee Path was a primary trade route between the coast and the backcountry Indian villages and these creeks seem to form near the creeks. Along with many other Indian paths, several of the routes crossed near the trading post of Ninety Six. Hence, another numerical explanation for the name.
The Best Legend of All
Folklore tells us that Issaquena, an Indian maiden, fell in love with David Francis, a silversmith who lived in what is now the town of Ninety Six. Learning that her tribe planned a surprise attack on the settlement, Issaquena mounted her horse to warn the settlers and her soulmate, David. Issaquena and David fled to what is now Stump House Mountain north of Walhalla, 55 miles west of Greenville, to escape the fury of her betrayed tribe. The lovers lived in a large, hollowed-out tree, or "stump house." Eventually, she was tracked down by her tribesmen. Issaquena raced to a nearby falls (now Issaquena Falls) and plunged out of sight into the cataract. Believing her dead, the warriors gave up the search. However, Issaquena later joined her husband and fled to Alabama to live happily ever after. Or so the story goes!

Louisville 1 win away from home NCAA regional
Credit: The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — At least one team is heading to Louisville. Maybe two.
The Cardinals are one win away from playing in the NCAA tournament regional hosted by their school. Standing in their way is an Iowa team that really enjoyed its home-court advantage in the first round.
Third-seeded Louisville (31-4) played more like a top seed in its 88-42 blowout of Idaho in the first round on Sunday. But Iowa looked nearly as good, shooting 57 percent in an 87-65 win over Marist that was a lot easier than most thought it would be.

Sorry that is currently not possible.
Spiceworks has a real focus on the Windows platform, not so much on others. You can add a feature request to propose this feature, but I suspect it will receive a low priority since it is a very specific niche request. While this sounds harsh, it is an honest appraisal of the request.
May 11, 2012 at 10:06 UTC
I would LOVE this feature however George is probably right .. with spiceworks being completely driven by requests this would probably get a very low push rate compares to the other more mainstream requests out there : / ..
May 11, 2012 at 10:41 UTC
ONUX TECHNOLOGIES is an IT service provider.
Agree with George1421!!! you can allways use another web interface to accomplish this. Like FreePBX

Jaguars QB Gabbert returns to practice
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert was in pads and at practice Wednesday, but still a day away from a full return.
Gabbert took limited snaps -- none in 11-on-11 drills -- while recovering from a sprained right ankle. Chad Henne got all the repetitions with the first-team offense, and Mike Kafka got second-team work.
Gabbert expects to be full-go Thursday "unless something magical pops up."
"It's doing a lot better," he said. "The biggest thing right now is just managing it and not doing anything too soon. But I'm feeling a lot better."
Gabbert injured his ankle late in practice Monday when guard Uche Nwaneri stepped on him during 11-on-11 drills. Gabbert slammed his helmet to the ground in frustration, before limping to the sideline. He was eventually carted to the locker room.
Tests were negative, and Gabbert took some snaps in a walkthrough later that night. Even with Tuesday off, though, the Jaguars decided to bring Gabbert back slowly.
"He came up to us and he felt like he was in good shape," coach Gus Bradley said. "He really wanted to go, so we came up with a plan to limit his reps. ... I know we were very cautious with his reps and which period he was going to get the reps, but he said that it felt pretty good."
This is the latest injury in Gabbert's three years in the NFL. He played with a nagging toe injury as a rookie in 2011 and missed the final six games last season with a right forearm injury. He also had a torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder.
He was thankful this one was minor.
"It was a freak play," Gabbert said. "It was a matter of a couple inches. It happens in the game and you just have to kind of manage it right now. Luckily it happened in practice 4, so we don't really have much to worry about."
With Gabbert out, Henne completed 11 of 19 passes in team drills. Kafka completed 10 of 14 passes. Rookie Matt Scott misfired on four of his five attempts.
"Kafka is doing a good job," Bradley said. "It's really his first or second time seeing it. ... We need to get him some reps. He'll get his opportunity, but the challenge for him is to take advantage of it just like he has today."
Bradley said a couple of injured players could be back on the file early next week -- receiver Justin Blackmon (groin) and safety Johnathan Cyprien (hamstring).
Blackmon is on the physically unable to perform list following surgery. Cyprien, the team's second-round draft pick, is on the non-football injury list after tweaking his hamstring while working out two weeks ago.

How do I add the form to my websiteAsked by mykidzkab on April 27, 2015 at 04:30 PM
That mostly depends on your website, since there are various ways to do so.
In general the best option would be to use iframe embed method, for which you can see how to get the code here: How to get the jotform iFrame Code
Now if you are using some more known CMS we most likely have the instructions / guide for it specifically, so you can check all of them here: Share Forms, but if you wish, just let us know what system you are using - if you do not know we can sometimes tell by looking at it - and we would do what we can to assist you with the embedding of your jotform.

On the flip side of the same coin, an automaker is tasked with determining whether the reengineering of a style icon should include a completely new look or do nothing more than copy the original as closely as possible.
Top-notch seats
New 3.2L V6 is just a $1300 option
Plenty of Jeep bona fides

Cargo area? What cargo area?

Glass roof creaks

What happened to its face?
Jeep's XJ Cherokee lingered for 20 years, but Chrysler insisted it needed to be replaced twelve years ago. The Liberty that replaced that second-generation Cherokee didn't follow the Porsche 911's Weltanschauung, nor did it accept the M.O. displayed by BMW when the Germans reinvented the Mini.
The Liberty looked a lot different and was, in fact, very different from the Cherokee it replaced. Moreover, there was no objective certainty that the Liberty was better than the XJ Cherokee.
For 2014, there's a new Cherokee. While the Liberty's departure has prompted a return of the Cherokee name, Jeep has once again decided that an XJ successor shouldn't look at all like the hugely successful XJ. In this case, there's no denying that massive improvements have been made - time spent inside the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited is quality time, indeed.
There's also no denying that this a dramatically new approach for Jeep. Take one Alfa Romeo Giulietta, jack it up, thoroughly transform the aesthetics, apply enough technology to create a genuine off-roader, and insert the world's first 9-speed automatic.
Setting aside the Cherokee's divisive styling, the transformation has been both wildly successful and bizarrely disappointing.

Material quality across the top of the dash, the shifter and steering wheel, and even along the doors is suitable for a luxury vehicle.
The front seats are two of the best in the business. In what direction is the driver's seat not power-adjustable; in what section is there not a prime mixture of firmness and cushioning?
Uconnect, Chrysler's infotainment unit, is straightforward and attractive and sufficiently intuitive that first-time users will have no difficulty, and not because it lacks a depth of ability.
The Cherokee allows less wind noise to intrude than our Acura MDX tester did last summer, although the thunk of a bridge's expansion joints, for instance, are more than a little noticeable.
Unfortunately, moving rearward in the Cherokee gives rise to frustration as the moderately spacious rear seat is awkwardly accessed. But the greater issues reside behind the rear seat, where cargo capacity is severely restricted.
A Toyota RAV4, by no means a Chevrolet Suburban rival, feels like a cargo van in comparison to this new Cherokee.

Those aren't small differences.
Once you have packed in as many people and as much stuff as possible and found yourself on your way with less than you'd like, you'll be awfully thankful for the $1300 3.2L 271-horsepower V6. Even with all this power, the four-wheel-drive Cherokee doesn't feel swift off the line; the extra power isn't really noticed until revs and speeds rise.
The 4-cylinder, not yet tested by GCBC, can't be a barrel of fun. Blame our tester's 4106-pound curb weight, a couple hundred pounds more than the V6 all-wheel-drive Toyota Highlander XLE we tested two weeks ago, a crossover that's taller, wider, a lot longer, and much bigger inside than the 2014 Cherokee.
Surprisingly, the Cherokee's absurd chunkiness doesn't seriously impact its on-road dynamics. Nor does the lard cause the 2014 Cherokee to feel as though it's hewn from the proverbial solitary chunk of tungsten: the glass roof was very creaky and there were a few squawks and squeaks that would disturb the buyer of any new car.
Jeep sales personnel won't hesitate to point out that the 2014 Cherokee features the future's 9-speed automatic. I'm not against change - the Ram truck's 8-speed automatic amazes. But even though Chrysler delayed Cherokee deliveries until the 9-speed had been properly fettled, we could live without a 9-speed that has not, in fact, been perfected.
I wasn't bothered by any hunting for gears at higher speeds, but getting up to speed sometimes involved the sensation that the Cherokee was falling into gear, like an elevator in an old building which safely brings its passengers down from the sixth level to the second but then, with a jolt, bangs into the ground floor. Put it this way: on occasion, when accelerating, the Cherokee's 9-speed doesn't seem to know how to time shifts, but then realizes, "Oh, we need fourth... bam!"
It's not at all constant, but the lack of refinement when there are nine gears through which to shift is more keenly felt than if there were only six.
Fortunately shifts are most often imperceptible, and one worries about how poor the Cherokee V6's fuel economy would inevitably be without the 9-speed auto. This 4x4 V6 Cherokee drank 13 litres per 100 kilometres, equal to 18 mpg on the U.S. scale, in mostly city driving.
Comfortable, but not spacious. Powerful, but not quick. Heavy, but not rigid. Tech-filled, but not with perfectly executed wizardry. Uniquely - and perhaps offensively - styled.
The Cherokee is clearly a study in self-inflicted contrasts. Then you head off the beaten path, and demerits are forgotten. We weren't able to do this, nor did we get to test the Trailhawk model, but our Cherokee tester climbed snowbanks into a new suburb of Dartmouth where there aren't yet any roads or people. (Too many local off-road trails are narrow enough that keeping Chrysler Canada's $43K Jeep scratch-free would have been impossible.) With a multi-mode four-wheel-drive system, the option to switch to low range in Active Drive II form, a little more than eight inches of ground clearance, and a decent approach angle, the Cherokee feels invincible.
|In 2014, GCBC Instituted ISTBTP, AKA Interior Storage Tennis Ball Test Protocol.
The Jeep Cherokee's ISTBTP Results Are In The Spec Chart Above.
And it can go places a CX-5 didn't even know were places.
Taking the urban and wilderness behaviours together, the Cherokee has a deep-seated knack for making its driver forget about, for example, the small cargo area, the hyperactive Rear Cross Path Detection, the often ineffective and almost always aggressive Park Assist, the not-quite-there transmission, and the face a mother couldn't love.
Isn't that the definition of charm? With no humans or buildings or people in sight, I was sufficiently impressed by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's talent for balancing on and off-road competence to stop caring about its oddities. If you don't tend to head for muddy, rock-strewn hills, you're less likely to stop caring about the fact that the stroller and dog won't fit in the back together.

Matthew Waterhouse reads this classic novelisation of a Fourth Doctor TV adventure.
The Doctor, Romana and K9 are heading for Gallifrey when they temporarily lose control of the TARDIS. The significance of this event is only revealed when they land, not on Gallifrey but on Alzarius. The planet's legendary Mistfall is approaching, a time when giant scaly creatures emerge from the swamps and go on the rampage, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake.
As the Alzarians take cover in the Starliner spaceship, one band of young rebels is determined to be different. Among them is Adric, a boy who inadvertently leads Romana and K9 into terrible danger. Will the Doctor be able to save all their lives and unravel the secret of Mistfall?
Matthew Waterhouse, who played Adric in the BBC TV series, reads Andrew Smith's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1982. Reading produced by Lyndsey Melling. Sound design by Simon Power. Executive producer: Michael Stevens.

Exciting novelization of a 1980 story
This new recording of the 1982 novel is an in-depth dramatization of the four-episode story Full Circle which aired in 1980 begins with exciting, explosive scenes eloquently written and elegantly performed. The sound effects and music are stunning.
The voices are excellent. I was particularly impressed that Waterhouse could voice four people in a conversation and the sound design was so carefully done that the listener could instantly discern which character was speaking each time from the first word in the sentence because of where the voice was coming from. It sounded as if multiple actors were all standing and moving about in front of me. Add to that that the voices/accents/dialects all varied. Waterhouse is a major talent.
The depth of the four-hour unabridged novel, with its allegory and allusion to religions and evolution, made for a much richer experience than the 90-minute TV story arc. I was amazed.

So I tried this code node = kwargs["node"] name = node.name() node.setName(name.upper(), True) But if I try to rename the node, I get error Unknown error when generating backtrace. And the name is converted to uppercase but from node abc becomes node ABC498 Not sure where this 498 number and error come from. I guess I am doing some beginner mistake. Thanks, Juraj

I got my period when I was 9 years old and I'm 19 now. I feel like my hips are spreading more and more
If it matters, my measurements are 37-24.75-37 (bust--waist--hips)
I've been doing this core workout dvd that came with a medicine ball I bought from wal-mart and I started going for 5 miles(run 1/walk one etc) recently so I think my midsection has slimmed down...
but I feel like my hips are getting wider and wider.
my legs are like hers except my calfs(right word) are bigger
Is it my workout routine?
I'm only 114 lbs so I feel like it looks bad because I probably look boney or skinny and toned...

Your adult (child bearing) pelvic geometry is kicking in. If you're healthy and fit, rock them curves girl. It's an evolutionary advantage. You'll be less likely to need a C-section if/when you have kids than someone with a narrower pelvic girdle. This may become very important if the zombie apocalypse comes and modern medical facilities aren't easily available. :-)11|00|0
I want a c-section
But the zombies can smell blood from a long way off. :-)
There are ton of disadvantages associated with a c-section! Look into it...

Very sweet, and very good! I used pecans instead of walnuts, but otherwise followed the recipe. This will be a special dessert for us in the future! Thanks for sharing. Made for Photo Tag.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 15 sheet phyllo dough
- 59.14 ml butter, melted
- 118.29 ml walnuts (ground or well crushed)
- dry coconut powder, crushed pistachio (to decorate)
Syrup Ingredients
- 473.18 ml sugar
- 236.59 ml water
- 59.14 ml rose water
- 0.59 ml cardamom (optional)
- 0.59 ml saffron (optional)
- 0.06-0.13 ml lemon juice (fresh) (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter the bottoms and sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
- Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a slightly dampened cloth to keep from drying out as you work.
- Fold a phyllo sheet to fit the pan. Place it in the pan and butter thoroughly. Repeat until you have 4 folded sheets layered. Sprinkle 2 - 3 tbsp of walnuts (ground or well crushed) on top. Repeat this step 2 more times.
- Top the last layer of nuts with a folded phyllo sheet, butter thoroughly and repeat until you have no more phyllo sheets (you may or may not butter the last layer).
- Use a sharp knife and cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until baklava is golden-brown and crisp.
- While baklava is baking, make the syrup as follows: Boil sugar and water until sugar is melted. Dissolve the saffron in 2 tbsp of hot water and add it to the syrup (optional). Add cardamom to the syrup and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the syrup is slightly thicken. Add the rose water and simmer for one more minute. Remove from the heat and add 1-2 drops of fresh lemon juice. Let the syrup to be cooled.
- Remove baklava from oven and immediately pour the syrup over it. Decorate with crushed pistachio or any other nuts of your choice and/or coconut powder. Let cool. Do not cover it until it is fully cooled.
- NOTE : You can make the syrup beforehand, store it in the fridge for 1-2 months and use it whenever you want. However, make sure to use the lemon juice drops if you are going with this option. The baked baklava absorbs the syrup better if the syrup is cold.
