Skyline: A helicopter rises above the buildings. ACT 1 Scene 1 - Frasier's apartment. It is Daphne's birthday party. Daphne, Martin, and Mrs. Moon are seated at the table, with Frasier and Niles standing behind them. Daphne leans in to blow out the candle on a cake. All applaud. Niles: Yay! Did you make a wish, sweetheart? Gertrude: Of course she did! She wished her father still loved his children enough to call his only daughter on her birthday! [She rises and moves to the couch.] Or his wife. Oh, but that's a man for you. Once he's planted his seed and you've borne his spawn, he moves on to spread his filth elsewhere! Frasier: [attempting to divert the subject] Sounds like a toast to me! I'll get the champagne. Martin: I'll just have a beer. Niles: Oh, I'm not so sure we should introduce alcohol into the situation... He gestures nervously to Daphne, who rises and moves toward the couch. Frasier: Well, Daphne, why don't you open your presents. Niles: Yes, that's a good idea! Frasier: Yeah, here, mine and Dad's first. He hands her a gift. She opens it. Frasier: Happy birthday, Daphne! Daphne: Oh, it's a journal! Oh, it's lovely. Thank you. Martin: You don't need to say that for my benefit. I wanted to get you one of those robot dogs. You know, something you could really use. He glares at Frasier. The doorbell rings. Niles answers it to Roz. Niles: Hey, Roz. Roz: Hey, Niles. Frasier: Oh, hi, Roz. Roz: Thank you. Sorry I'm late. [Niles takes her coat.] Niles: Oh, no, not at all. Daphne's just opening her gifts. Roz: [rushing to the coffee table] Here's mine! Daphne: Oh, Roz, you didn't have to get me anything! Roz: Don't be silly. Happy birthday. Daphne removes a black teddy from the bag Roz has given her. Daphne: Ooh... Niles: We love it! Roz: Yes, Roger loved black lace. But he didn't get to see me in it... [recovering] Black lace, I mean. I bought this one for you - new! Daphne: Thank you, Roz. Gertrude: Some man break your heart, did he? Roz: Oh, yeah, but I'll be OK. Gertrude: Sure you will. Until you realize he was the love of your life and he's gone for good. Then not a night will pass when you don't beg the good Lord to take you in your sleep. Roz is unsure how to react to this speech. Niles: [with biting sarcasm] We all have those thoughts. Daphne: [irritated] Niles, can I see you in the kitchen, please? Niles: [obediently, but poutingly] Yeah. They rise and exit, Niles following Daphne like a puppy. Roz picks up the journal. Roz: What's this? Martin: Heh-heh. That's what I said. I can tell you what it isn't. Frasier: Dad, would you let it go? Reset to: the kitchen. Daphne: I know she's difficult, but we need to be sensitive with Mum right now. Niles: "Difficult?" I yearn for the days of Difficult. Difficult was a picnic. I keep a picture of Difficult in a heart- shaped frame next to my bed. Difficult was a... Daphne: [cutting him off] All right, Niles, I know! But it's harder for her now. I think she's finally realizing that Dad's not coming back. I guess I am too. Niles: [sympathetically] I'm sorry. I will be more patient with her. Daphne: Thank you, Niles. Reset to: the living room. Gertrude: [to Roz] And if you do it right, he'll bleed from the inside and no one will know it was you. Niles and Daphne re-enter. Frasier: Oh, Daphne! I think there's still an unopened gift left for you. Martin: There's an unopened gift for me in the fridge. [Rising, to Niles] Try and stop me! He exits. Niles: Daphne. [Handing her his gift.] Happy birthday, darling! Daphne: [excitedly] Oh, Niles, it's a trip! Niles: This weekend. You and I are jetting off to Hawaii for a five-star Polynesian retreat. Daphne: Oh, how exciting! Oh, thank you. [They kiss.] Niles: The first day, we are being taken by outrigger to an exclusive island for a private luau. Roz: Roger and I were supposed to go back to Wisconsin this weekend for my family reunion. Niles: Oh, that's lovely! [eager, barely noticing Roz] And the second day, we're going to take a cruise to Molokai. Roz: Of course, you can't go to Wisconsin without taking a couple of cheese tours. Niles: [completely missing the point] Well, you sure can't, no. And then we're in Molokai, we're going to go snorkeling with the sea tortoise. Roz: And then, the Dells - Roger really wanted to ride one of those big duck boats. Gertrude: [gets up] I've heard enough. All these lovey-dovey stories about traveling and romance. And then you with your birthday! Can't you all see that I'm hurting? I can't hide it anymore! She exits to the powder room. All are taken aback by her speech. Daphne walks to the cake and lights the candle again. Niles: What are you doing? Daphne: I want to change my wish. She blows out the candle. FADE OUT
AND SHE'S THE CARROTSScene 2 - Frasier's apartment, later that evening. Roz and Frasier are the only ones remaining. They are cleaning up. Roz: I started the dishwasher. Frasier: Thanks, Roz, I'll see you tomorrow. Roz: Do you want me to run the vacuum cleaner? Frasier: No thanks, I can do it in the morning. Roz: Are you sure? I mean, it would just take a second. Frasier: You don't want to go home, do you? Roz: Not really. Alice is in Wisconsin with her grandmother, and it's just hard to face an empty house. Frasier: Well, I'll tell you what, Roz. Why don't you sit down and we'll shoot the breeze for a while. They sit. Roz: And when I think about this trip to Wisconsin, I just dread going without Roger. My family thinks I'm a total loser as it is. Now I'm just going to prove them right. "Roz is a failure at love." "Roz can't find a man." Frasier: They don't really say that, do they? Roz: Oh, you haven't met my perfect sister, Denise. I mean, I love her and everything, but she's a total bitch. Frasier: Well, you know, I-I could go with you. Roz: What? Frasier: Sure, for moral support. Roz: Frasier, is that how you want to spend your vacation? Frasier: I don't know. It just might be the perfect time for me to see a giant duck and a lot of cheese. Roz: Thank you, Frasier. Frasier: You want to watch some TV, maybe we can find a good movie? Roz: Yeah! [Frasier turns on the TV.] Yeah, ever since this whole Roger thing happened, you've really come through for me. It means a lot. Why can't more men be like you? I mean, you are exactly what women are looking for. Frasier: Yeah. Women I date don't seem to know that. Roz: Some women don't know what's good for them. Frasier: [dejectedly] Terrific. I'm the broccoli of dating. Roz laughs. They relax and watch TV. They are very comfortable and casual together, far more so than usual. DISSOLVE TO: Scene 3 - The following morning. Frasier's bedroom. We see a close-up of Frasier lying next to someone. The camera moves out to reveal a sleeping Roz, looking very satisfied, cuddled under Frasier's arm. You are reading this correctly! Frasier awakens, sees Roz, and suddenly looks uneasy and shocked. Roz then awakens as well, is highly embarrassed, and slides out of the bed, taking the sheet with her and lifting Frasier's arm to escape. Roz walks nervously behind the bed and toward the bathroom. Frasier: [uneasily] Morning. Roz: [quickly, shouting] Morning! She rushes into the bathroom and slams the door. Frasier: Can I get you some coffee? Roz: [from the bathroom] I would love to stay, but no. I've really got to run. I got the tile guy coming. Frasier: [struggling for words] Right. So this is a little strange, huh? Roz: Yeah, it is. But good strange! Roz is obviously dressing very hurriedly. Frasier is more uneasy. Frasier: Yeah. Roz emerges, clothed in what she was wearing the previous night. Roz: You know. Tile guy. [She returns the sheet to the bed.] Frasier: Right, yeah, I'll get up. Roz: No! It is too late. Frasier has risen and begun to put on his bathrobe. He didn't bother to cover himself before doing this. This makes Roz even more uneasy. Roz: Okay. I really have to go. I'll see you at work. Frasier: Roz, you okay? Roz: Everything's super! She hurriedly puts on her boot. Frasier: Maybe we should talk about this. Roz: And we will! Just not right now, 'cause I'm really late. You know, I mean for the tile guy. She rapidly exits the bedroom. Frasier: Let me walk you out. CUT TO: Living Room Roz runs out to the living room, grabs her coat, picks up her purse from the coffee table, and races to the door. Frasier follows. Frasier: Roz, maybe we could have dinner later. Roz: Okay, and we can talk then. I mean, not that I really need to talk because I'm fine. Unless you're not fine. She is obviously not fine. She fumbles with her purse and coat and puts on the other boot, rapidly and nervously. Frasier: No, no, I'm fine. A little strange, though, huh? Roz: Yeah, but good strange! Martin: [heard from the kitchen] Damn it, Eddie, just because I dropped something it doesn't make it yours! As Frasier turns in panic towards the sound of Martin's voice, Roz rushes out. He turns back round and sees her gone. Frasier: God, what have I done? What have I done? What have I done? Martin: [entering] Morning, Fras. Frasier: [recovering, casually] Morning, Dad. Martin: You see the paper yet? Frasier: Uh, no I haven't. Martin: Big story about how Roz's purse spent the night on the coffee table. He sits at the dining table. Frasier takes some time to react in horror to this. Martin grins. Frasier: It's not what it looks like. Martin: I know that. Frasier: Oh, what do you mean "you know that?" Shows what you know, it's exactly what it looks like! Martin: Oh, I knew that! Frasier: Well, anyway, it's none of your business, so I'm not discussing it with you. [then] Oh, Dad, I've done a terrible thing. Martin: Oh, geez, what happened? And don't tell me too much. Frasier: Well, I-I don't even know how this happened. She was lonely. She probably thinks I took advantage of her, I mean, that's why she ran out of here. Do you think I did? Martin: Fras, you're both adults. Where's the harm? Frasier: Well, you can't be serious, Dad! I mean, do you realize what this means? I have probably destroyed our friendship. Do you know what she'll see every time she looks at me? Martin: Your naked body. Frasier: Oh, dear God! I was going to say "someone who's betrayed her trust," but oh, dear God! Martin: Now, Frasier, don't get all worked up. When are you supposed to see her next? Frasier: We're meeting for dinner tonight. Martin: So everything's normal. You're going to feel weird and stupid for a while, and then you'll have a big laugh about it and move on. Frasier: Yeah, you-you're probably right. I mean, we're adults. We can discuss this. We're going to be fine. Well, we'd better be. I told her I'd go to Wisconsin with her. Martin: Wow, you really were lonely. Niles and Daphne enter. Daphne: I want to go on this trip as much as you do, but we can't leave Mum alone for a week right now. She seems unbalanced. Niles: [helping her off with her jacket] Well, well, maybe she could stay here with Frasier and Dad. Frasier: [reacting quickly and excitedly] Whoa! Whoa! What are we talking about? Daphne: It's Mum again. She's been crying non-stop since we left here last night. Martin: Sounds like a job for the prescription pad, Niles. Daphne: I can't even get Dad on the phone. He doesn't even know I'm engaged. I guess I can forget about him walking me down the aisle. The phone rings. Frasier answers. Frasier: Hello? Roz, hi. He looks at Martin, who gives him an approving gesture. Frasier: Yeah, hang on one sec. He runs to his bedroom. Niles: Daphne, I have a solution. I want you to use those tickets and take your mother to Hawaii. Daphne: Are you out of your mind? Niles: No, no, no, we are going to have a lifetime of romantic trips, but right now what's important is taking care of your mom. Like you said, she's fragile. Daphne: Niles, that's very thoughtful, but I don't want to go to Hawaii with my Mom. I want to go with you. Niles: Just hear me out! Daphne exits to the kitchen. Martin: Are you really going to let that old bat manipulate you out of a trip to Hawaii? Niles: Dad, I have a plan. Martin: Niles, you're a sucker. You know Mrs. Moon's so-called knee injury? Well, last night I noticed her limping on the wrong leg. Niles: I know. She switches. Niles goes to the kitchen. Frasier re-enters from his bedroom. Martin: How's Roz? Frasier: She's fleeing the city, thank you. Martin: Oh, come on! Frasier: She's going to Wisconsin without me. She's leaving immediately. I told you this was going to happen. Our friendship is in ruins. Martin: Yeah. Frasier: What do you mean, "yeah?" Martin: Well, I kind of thought that might happen. I was just trying to make you feel better. As he philosophically sips his coffee, we: FADE OUT. END OF ACT I ACT II Scene 4 - Martin has driven Frasier, Niles, Daphne, and Gertrude to the airport. They pull up inside a parking garage. Daphne, Gertrude, and Niles exit the car. Niles: Now remember, when you arrive, a car will be waiting to take you to the Nanehalaka Ha'e Alahe House. Gertrude: I don't know why we can't go somewhere where they speak English! Daphne: They do speak English in Hawaii, Mum. Martin: [smugly] How come you can fly to Hawaii, but you can't fly to England? Gertrude: How come you can drive your car, but you can't do your own laundry? Martin: [biting his tongue] Have a good trip. Daphne: Thank you again Niles. [They kiss.] I love you. Niles: I love you too. I wish I could walk you to the gate, but security... Gertrude: Yeah, well, we'd better hurry if we're going to pass Customs. Daphne: [exasperated and weary] It's the same country, Mum. [to Niles] I'm going to miss you so much! Niles: Oh, God, I know. [They kiss again.] Gertrude and Daphne exit. Niles surreptitiously grabs a small suitcase from the trunk and climbs in the back seat. Frasier: [sarcastically] Well, that's going to be a good time. Niles: I do feel a little guilty, but it's for a greater good. Martin: Where to, Niles? Niles: Virgin Atlantic. It's right there. Frasier: What's this? You're going somewhere? Niles: England. I'm going to find Daphne's father and bring him back here if I have to check every pub in Manchester. Frasier: You can't be serious. Martin: "I can't do my own laundry because I can't carry the basket and my cane at the same time." That's what I should have said! Niles: Daphne wants to get her parents back together. I'm going to try to make that happen. At the very least, he's going to walk her down that aisle. It'll be the biggest surprise anyone ever gave her. Frasier: It's a beautiful gesture, Niles. Martin: Bye. Niles exits. Frasier: Why didn't you tell me he was going to England? Martin: Same reason I didn't tell him you were going to Wisconsin. Which way? Frasier: Oh, right. [checks his ticket] Concourse "B." Martin: You think this is a smart plan, surprising Roz in front of her family? Frasier: Well, what else would you suggest I do, Dad? I couldn't reach her by phone. Roz and I have got to talk before this turns into a permanent divide in our friendship. Martin: Okay, but you know what she's going to see when she looks at you. Frasier: Yes, yes, I know, my naked body. I'll have you know there are worse states... Martin: All right, just stop this! I've got enough horror shows in my head. Here we are. Frasier: Thank you. Oh, by the way, Dad. I got you a little something to keep you company while I'm away. He pulls out a silvery metallic "robot dog." Martin: Oh, no way! The robot dog! Thanks, son. Frasier: Sure. Martin: Oh, good, you got the girl one so it won't fight with Eddie. Frasier: [wearily] Dad, it's not a girl. That's where the batteries go. Frasier exits the car. Martin admires the robot dog. FADE TO: Scene 5 - Roz's family home somewhere in Wisconsin. Roz's sister Denise opens the door to reveal Frasier. Denise is a wholesome-looking, clean-cut young woman, whose cheerfulness is saccharine and very artificial. Frasier: Hi, um, I'm looking for Roz Doyle. Denise: Oh, well, she's out shopping with her cousin right now, but come in! I'm her sister, Denise. Frasier: Oh, well, it's a pleasure to meet you. Denise: Oh, likewise. All we've been hearing is "Roger this" and Roger that," but we've seen no Roger. We were beginning to think that you didn't really exist. Frasier: I'm afraid you've made a mistake, you see... Frasier can't get a word in edgewise to correct the following. Denise: Well, obviously we did, but you can't blame us. It wouldn't be the first time that she's made up a boyfriend. We've really been having a lot of fun with her. She laughs. Frasier sees what Roz hates and dreads about her sister, and decides to play along. Denise: Oh, honey, look. Roger is here. There really is one! Craig, Denise's equally clean-cut young husband, comes over. Craig: Well, I'll be a son of a gun. Good to know you. Craig Dawson, Met-Life. Frasier: [shaking hands] Hi, Roger... Hammerstein! Denise: Well, come on in and meet everyone. Frasier: Oh, thank you. Denise: Roger, this is Aunt Pearl and Cousin Curtis, and Great Uncle Olaf. Frasier says hellos all around. The family mills about and observes him. Craig: Well, honey, it looks like you owe Roz an apology. Denise: Oh, now, she knows I was just teasing her. I'm just relieved that she's finally found someone. We just want her to have the kind of happiness that we've found. She gazes admiringly at Craig, and they kiss. Frasier: Well, you know, I intend to do everything in my power to give her just that. I love Roz, and I intend to prove it to her. That's why I've come. Behind his back, Roz has entered during this last speech. For one frozen moment, she wonders if Frasier has fallen for her after their night of passion. Roz: Oh my God, what's going on? Frasier: [surprised and embarrassed] Roz... Denise: Roger, can Craig fix you a drink? Roz: [pausing] Roger? Frasier: Yeah, sweetheart, hi! [He moves to embrace Roz.] I'd love that drink. [kisses her] Denise: Well, well, well. It looks like you've really made an impression on Roger here, Roz. Roz: Yeah. Denise: How did you two meet again? Frasier: Oh, gosh, well, it's the cutest story. Oh, come on, honey, sit down. He sits her down on the couch next to him. Roz smiles uneasily, but she is clearly rather pleased with this turn of events. Frasier: Um, it all started when... Alice used to wave at me when I was driving my trash-collecting truck. Denise: Oh, well, I guess Alice is sure going to be happy to see you again. Frasier: [off Roz's look] Oh, well, you know, it's funny, as well as Alice and I get along, she always mistakes me for Roz's boss. It's weird, isn't it? Roz: Oh, yeah! They laugh, easily. Craig brings him a drink. Craig: Here we are. Frasier: Thank you. Craig: So Roger, I hear you're a big golfer. What do you shoot? Frasier: Well, you know, actually, since I've met Roz, I don't get much time for golf. Denise: Well, don't get too used to that, Roz. I've been a golf widow ever since I've been married. It's like a disease with them. She maintains her artificial grin throughout. Frasier: Well, maybe with most men, but not with me. I mean, my spare time is precious, so I like to spend it with the people that I love, like Roz and Alice, and who knows, maybe someday some more little ones. He has been looking lovingly at Roz. She returns the very real sentiment, despite the charade. He picks up a picture frame. Frasier: Especially if they look like this here. Roz: Oh, my... I hated that picture. Big ugly glasses and... I guess I was trying to look like Dorothy Hamil. Denise: We warned you not to get that haircut, but you insisted. Frasier: You know, if I'd met this girl in the fifth grade, I wouldn't have dated anybody else. Gosh, can I get a copy of this for my desk at work? Denise: You have a desk? Frasier: Dashboard. They all laugh. Roz's family is quite taken with "Roger." FADE TO: Scene 6 - Frasier's apartment. Eddie is looking suspiciously at the robot dog, which is not moving. Martin is on the phone. Martin: Yeah, I looked at the "getting started" section. Yeah, I did that. Voice activation? Yeah, I did everything it said. While Martin is not looking, Eddie barks and the robot dog stands up. Martin: "Appendix B?" Where is Appendix B? I just want this damn thing to do some tricks. Eddie barks again. The robot dog responds by bending down its front legs and wagging its tail. Martin: Can't you make this easier? You know, you shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist to play with some stupid toy. [Eddie barks and the dog stands upright again.] Eddie, be quiet, I'm on the phone. The robot dog starts to dance for Eddie. Martin does not see it. FADE TO: Scene 7 - The Doyle family house. It is a bit later. Frasier is continuing to charm the family as Roger." Frasier: So this one's getting tired. She wants to turn around and head back up the beach, when finally she sees the blanket surrounded by candles, and the food and the wine that I had set up. Roz: [enjoying this greatly] And don't forget the diamond bracelet you gave me. Everyone responds with "Awwws" all around. Denise looks decidedly unhappy. Craig: I had no idea there was that kind of money in the garbage business. Denise: [bitingly, but retaining her grin] You have no idea about a lot of things. Craig: What's that supposed to mean? Denise: Well, why can't you be more like him and do something special for me once in a while? Craig: [imitating her grin] Why can't you be like her and not be such a nag? DISSOLVE TO: Scene 8 - Time fade. Frasier and Roz are stepping out of the house onto the porch. Roz: [ecstatic] That was the best half hour I have ever spent with my family! Thank you! But what are you doing here? Frasier: I just had to make sure we were okay. Roz: I told you we were okay. Frasier: Yeah, I know, and then you ran away. Roz: I know, I should have stayed and talked to you. It's just, usually when I'm freaked out I turn to you, and this time I just didn't feel like I could. She grabs her head, a bit ashamed, and sits on the porch. Frasier: I'm so sorry. Roz: For what? Frasier: For that. For that evening. You were vulnerable, and I feel like I took advantage of you. He sits next to her. Roz: Oh, Frasier, I'm a grownup, and I make my own decisions. I was just worried that... well, over the years, we've almost gone to bed a couple of times, and we haven't because we were afraid it would damage our friendship. Frasier: Now we've done it. Roz: Right. I was just worried that things would change between us. Frasier: That's what I came here to ask you. Roz pauses, not knowing what to say. She changes the subject. Roz: I remember the last time I sat here. Just like this. My old high school boyfriend sat right where you are, and told me that he had been accepted into college in Boston. Frasier: Hmm. Roz: And I just stared at his shoelaces. I was afraid I would cry if I looked anywhere else, you know? Anyway, we promised that we would always be friends. It was just the saddest thing in the world because I knew it wasn't true. She looks as if she is about to cry this time as well. Frasier: [emotionally, clearly worried] And this time? Roz: Oh, we'll always be friends, Frasier. Nothing's going to ever change that. They embrace. Roz: I can't believe you traveled all this way. Frasier: Well, that's what people do when they care about someone. SMASH CUT TO: Scene 9 - A pub in Manchester, England. Niles walks in the door, looking quite haggard and weary. He chokes on the smoke and the general smell of the place. He walks up to the bar. Niles: Excuse me. Do you know a man named Harry Moon - and no, that is not the start of a limerick. The bartender nods to a white-haired gentleman in a cardigan right next to Niles. As Niles steps back from the bar, Harry puts down his glass and swivels to face Niles. Niles: Mr. Moon? Harry: Who's asking? Niles: My name is Niles Crane. I'm planning to marry your daughter. Harry quickly looks Niles up and down. Harry: You look okay to me. All right, you have my blessing. He turns back to the bar and lifts his glass... Niles: Thank you, but actually, I'm here to reunite you with your wife. Harry's glass freezes on its way to his lips. He suddenly looks apoplectic. More strangely, though, Niles realizes that the pub has gone totally silent. He turns and sees everyone staring at him. Harry puts down his glass, grabs Niles by the back of his coat and marches him toward the door. Niles: Oh, Mr. Moon... Mr. Moon... Harry violently throws Niles out the door of the pub and returns to his seat at the bar. FADE OUT END OF ACT II Credits: The robot dog continues to do various contortions for Eddie, which Eddie then imitates. Eddie eventually becomes more curious, sniffs the robot dog, and knocks it down on its side.

- If you prefer a firmer texture, you can try adding chickpeas and reducing the amount of rice and mushrooms.
- We also recommend cooking them in advance and simply heating on the BBQ if you want to enjoy these as part of a BBQ spread.

Posted by So Vegan on Wednesday, 17 July 2019
For the patties:
- oil for frying
- 1/2 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 250g / 8.8oz mushrooms
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp bbq sauce, plus extra for glazing
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 50g / 1.7oz walnuts
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1/2 cup brown rice
- 40g / 1.4oz panko breadcrumbs
- handful of fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
To serve:
- 4 vegan burger buns
- 4 vegan cheese slices
- vegan mayonnaise
- ketchup
- 2 handfuls lettuce leaves
- gherkin slices
- 50g / 1.7oz red cabbage
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- olive oil
- Cook the brown rice in just over 1 cup of lightly salted water.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a medium - high heat. Peel and dice the onion, then add to the frying pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile dice the mushrooms into small pieces, and peel and dice the garlic. Add both to the frying pan and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 10 minutes or until all the water has evaporated and the mushrooms have started to brown.
- Add the fried mushroom mixture to a food processor along with the soy sauce, cajun seasoning, BBQ sauce, maple syrup, walnuts, flax seeds, panko breadcrumbs, parsley and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Add the cooked brown rice (this should now measure roughly 1 cup) and add it to the mixture. Pulse the mixture a dozen or so times until the mixture has mostly broken down but has not turned into a puree! Note: to check if the texture is correct, try shaping the mixture into a patty. If there are a few cracks, pulse the mixture a little more to break it down, but be careful not to over process it into a mush.
- Line a plate or baking tray with baking paper. Then shape the burger mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties and place on the prepared dish. If you have time to leave the burgers to sit, pop them in the refrigerator until you need to cook them (ideally for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight). This will help the patties hold together and also improve the flavour.
- Before cooking the patties, slice the gherkins. Then finely slice the red cabbage and carrot, and add both to a mixing bowl along with the apple cider vinegar and a light drizzle of olive oil. Stir and leave to one side while you fry the burger.
- Add a little oil to a frying pan on a low - medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and fry for 5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Brush each side with a little more bbq sauce as you go and add a slice of cheese to the top of the patties.
- To build the burger, cut the burger buns in half and spread a generous spoonful of mayo to the bottom half. Add a few lettuce leaves on top, followed by a patty, slices of tomato and gherkin, and finally the coleslaw.
- To make the burger sauce combine a few spoonfuls of ketchup with the same amount of vegan mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth. Spread the burger sauce over the inside of the top half of the burger bun and place the burger bun on top of the burger. Now tuck in!

In 2009, NAPCA implemented the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, or CDSMP, within AAPI communities. CDSMP, which was developed by the Stanford University Patient Education Research Center, is an evidence-based program based on the concept of self-efficacy, or a person's confidence that he or she can learn and master new skills to better manage or "take control" of their health.
Participants who complete the 6-week program learned skills to help them manage their health conditions. Through partnerships with five AAPI-serving community-based organizations, NAPCA conducted CDSMP workshops with Cambodian, Chinese, Korean, and Samoan older adults, concluding the project in 2012. This report details program participant's health outcomes after participation in the program, which among others, included decreases in fatigue, pain, and how much their health interfered with daily activities.

Tonight's fix-up project has been an Acer Extensa 4220. My friend tried to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP, but in doing so he deleted the recovery partition as well as the OS one. He then tried to install from an XP installation CD, but couldn't make that work either, as the hard drive was not recognised. I was able to realise that the problem was the SATA drive (Windows XP doesn't have built in drivers). With no floppy drive and no real wish to cook up a custom installation with added drivers, I found a quick easy fix was to edit the BIOS settings to set the SATA controller to use IDE mode. Strictly speaking this isn't as good as AHCI, which is the default, fully featured setting, but seeing as XP can't take full advantage anyway it and a small price to pay for making the installation which and easy. It's a surprisingly quick machine for a Celeron with 1GB of RAM, but then I suppose people used to count memory in megabytes when XP was new!

Sunday in Reno at the Grand sierra I ventured through the crowds, flashing lights, noise and dim lights to the Grand Theatre to attend the Transform Your Life Conference with Marianne Williamson, Rabbi Shmuley and Dannion Brinkley. They talked about life, love and the hereafter. Marianne encouraged us to get off our butts and grow up and realize this is not a dress rehearsal. We\'re doing it and our 'collective we', have things to do and do now. Feeding all the children is paramount in her message. The Rabbi talked about sex. Yeah, he talked about sex and the dying of it.

Happy Chanukah! I may not be Jewish, but I can appreciate any holiday you celebrate with family, friends, and a quality message. Growing up in the Deep South my exposure to Chanukah was minimal – scant even. I only knew it as "the Jewish Christmas," which isn't at all accurate, but it's the definition most Southern kids are given. By the time I hit college in the mid-90's, my exposure to Jewish culture (and Wild Turkey 😉 ) grew. I met folks from all over and learned a lot about life outside the Bible Belt. And, of course, there was Adam Sandler.
Years go by. And then one ordinary August day I was asked by spirits author and whiskey comrade Aaron Goldfarb if I'd ever tried any "Jewish Wild Turkey." Jewish Wild Turkey? While I was vaguely familiar with the Jewish Whisky Company and their Single Cask Nation bottles, in all honesty I knew very little about the JWC's operation and had yet to experience any of their releases. It wasn't long after Aaron's inquiry that I had the pleasure of sampling the JWC's 2016 NYC Whisky Jewbilee, a fantastic single-barrel, barrel-proof KSBW selected at Wild Turkey. I also had the chance to interview the JWC's founder, Joshua Hatton. Joshua is an industry "mover and shaker" of sorts – one who takes commendable pride in his faith and his whisk(e)y.
As an independent bottler, Joshua and the Jewish Whisky Co.'s mission is fairly straightforward – select and bottle the world's finest whisk(e)y, from single casks at cask strength. And while not certified kosher, Joshua and JWC colleague Jason Johnstone-Yellin handpick casks that are "kosher by nature," allowing their products to be enjoyed by consumers that adhere to particular tenets of faith. The JWC's selections are arguably the purest whiskies on the market today, some highly sought after as a result.
Speaking of sought-after whiskey, the JWC's Wild Turkey Whisky Jewbilee bottles have quickly become hot items (and with good reason too). After all, Wild Turkey hasn't officially released a single-barrel, barrel-proof KSBW since 1998's Wild Turkey Kentucky Legend (aka "Donut"). While Donut bottles can still be found on secondary markets, expect a hefty premium when the gavel strikes.
At present, the Jewish Whisky Co. is the only source for modern single-barrel, barrel-proof Wild Turkey KSBW. And as much as I would love for Campari to take note and bring back Kentucky Legend, I have great admiration for how the JWC is handling the exclusivity of their WT releases. Barrels are selected with great care, very similar to Russell's Reserve private selections but with kosher standards in mind, and afterwards bottled by the JWC. The bottles themselves, at least for the Jewbilee releases, are more similar to decanters, with glass stoppers instead of the more typical plastic/wood/cork. JWC labels have a retro-art spin and state details such as age and bottle count that many Russell's Reserve selects omit. And finally, they're available direct and reasonably priced at around $100 each.
Well, I think that about covers everything except how this 2017 Chicago Whisky Jewbilee actually tastes. If you're new to my blog, my apologies for the long introduction. You'll soon realize that many of my whiskey reviews can seem rather epic in comparison to reviews on other sites. Hey, at least they're unfiltered and "full word proof," right? Now let's pour some Jewish Turkey!
2017 Chicago Whisky Jewbilee (barrel #3426, rickhouse G, floor 6) – Wild Turkey KSBW at 61.0% ABV – aged nine years – distilled at the Wild Turkey Distillery, Lawrenceburg, KY – bottled by the Jewish Whisky Company, Bardstown, KY (1 of 150 bottles)
Tasted neat in a Glencairn after a few minutes rest …
Color: deep rosy copper
Nose: (BIG modern WT w/ classic WT character) molasses, vanilla bean, rich & hearty oak, brown sugar, cherry pie filling, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, blood orange, leather, caramel/candy apple
Taste: (sweet & robust) intense cherry-vanilla, musty charred oak, honey-maple, brown sugar, chewy caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, leather, hints of chocolate
Finish: long, warm & flavorful – creamy honey-maple, vanilla, brown sugar, sweet musty oak, herbal tea, chocolate-covered cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg, leather
Overall: This is without a doubt a very special bourbon whiskey. It's my second Wild Turkey Whisky Jewbilee experience and I'll have to say – though I'm unable to compare the two side by side, I believe this 2017 release to be just as good, if not a touch better, than the 2016 release. There's just so much to love here. Bold and complex Wild Turkey character? Check. Intense, yet balanced flavor? Yep. A rewarding finish that warms you like a long hug? For sure! It's everything you'd expect from a mature, undiluted, single-barrel Wild Turkey KSBW and more.
So the big question now is, how does this 2017 Chicago Whisky Jewbilee rate? This is no easy task, as in some ways we're moving into the unknown. While there are plenty of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel and Kentucky Spirit selects to compare, to date there are but two post-1998 single-barrel Wild Turkey releases bottled at barrel strength. These Wild Turkey Whisky Jewbilee selections are as inherently unique as the barrels they were chosen from. That said, there are more Jewish Whisky Co. selections in the works. The greater the number of JWC Wild Turkey releases, the finer the "floor to ceiling" of quality will be defined.
When I first tasted this 2017 Jewbilee I was leaning towards a 5/5 on my RB 101 Turkey Scale. Unlike some whiskey blogs, I actually use all 5 points of my rating scale on occasion. A 5/5 doesn't translate to perfection, however. It simply means that the whiskey is as enjoyable as it possibly gets – every element in every phase lines up accordingly, with complexity and balance. And that's exactly what we have here – but – I can't help but reflect on Woodland Wine's Russell's Reserve SiB #16-490. Had that 42-count private selection been bottled at barrel strength, I truly believe it would've been one of the best single-barrel bourbons to roll out of a Wild Turkey rickhouse in years. What that tells me is that Joshua and Jason can't kick up their feet and sit back just yet. They have to find a Turkey barrel to top Woodland's #16-490 (Josh & Jason – if you need samples, you know where to find me).
All in all I can't stress enough how special this 2017 Whisky Jewbilee truly is – on paper, in profile, and as an experience. If you're one of the lucky ones that acquired a bottle, enjoy it with friends and family over the holidays. If you weren't so lucky or found out too late, I'd recommend restraint if considering the secondary market. Joshua and Jason recently picked another Wild Turkey barrel, and I can assure you more will come. In the meantime, check out their podcast, seek out some reputable Russell's Reserve private selects, and look forward to all the wonderful Turkey coming in 2018!
Rating: 4.5/5 🦃
To my amazing readers – I wish all of you a happy and safe holiday season. Shalom. Peace. Cheers!

A wrongful death claim in Alabama is a civil lawsuit that is filed on behalf of the estate of a person who died as a result of someone else's negligence, wantonness or willful misconduct. When one person causes the death of another person, whether by accident or intentionally, the surviving family members of the deceased may pursue a wrongful death claim. If you or someone close to you has recently been a victim of a wrongful death in Decatur, Alabama, we are here to help. Our attorneys have been helping clients with wrongful death cases in Decatur and throughout northern Alabama for over 25 years. Call 256-350-7200. We can help.
Alabama Wrongful Death Statute
Alabama Code Section § 6-5-410: Wrongful Act, Omission or Negligence Causing Death
(a) A personal representative may commence an action and recover such damages as the jury may assess in a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Alabama, and not elsewhere, for the wrongful act, omission, or negligence of any person, persons, or corporation, his or their servants or agents, whereby the death of his testator or intestate was caused, provided the testator or intestate could have commenced an action for such wrongful act, omission, or negligence if it had not caused death.
(b) Such action shall not abate by the death of the defendant, but may be revived against his personal representative and may be maintained though there has not been prosecution, conviction or acquittal of the defendant for the wrongful act, omission, or negligence.
(c) The damages recovered are not subject to the payment of the debts or liabilities of the testator or intestate, but must be distributed according to the statute of distributions.
(d) Such action must be commenced within two years from and after the death of the testator or intestate. It is important to speak to an experienced law firm when it comes to Wrongful Death cases.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death can be the result of any of the following in Alabama:
- Car accidents;
- Truck crashes;
- Motorcycle accidents;
- Workplace accidents;
- Defective product accidents;
- Bicycle accident;
- Pedestrian accident;
- Defective medical device;
- Bad prescription drug;
- Failure to diagnose an illness;
- Public transportation accidents;
- Drunk driving crashes;
- Slip and falls;
- Medical malpractice;
- Nursing home abuse;
- Criminal acts;
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Explosions or fires
- Aviation accident;
- Defective product;
- Premises liability claims;
- Construction site accidents;
- Failure to properly respond to an emergency.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Alabama?
Alabama limits the ability to file a wrongful death claim to the personal representative of the deceased person's estate. Usually, the personal representative is the deceased person's surviving spouse or the deceased person's surviving children and grandchildren. In the event that there is no surviving person who falls into any of these categories (sometimes referred to as the "line of descent"), a wrongful death lawsuit may be filed by someone who would be entitled under Alabama law to inherit the deceased person's property. This may include the deceased person's parents or siblings, depending on who is alive at the time of the deceased person's passing.

Hi Sheila, sorry to hear that. As far as I know, issue 35 featuring my crochet collar hasn't come out yet so at this stage I'm not sure which bit of the pattern would be missing until I see how it's been published. It's probably best if you contact Mollie Makes magazine directly with any queries in the meantime. Hope that helps, regards, LeanneReplyDelete

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Six people were killed and several others injured when a garbage truck crashed into a group of pedestrians in downtown Glasgow Monday, police said.
The truck hit a number of pedestrians as it veered out of control along a crowded road in the city center, Superintendent Stewart Carle of Police Scotland said.
He said the incident was "a road traffic accident, nothing more sinister."
"For now it does not look to be a criminal or deliberate act that has taken place here this afternoon, but we need to have time to investigate it," he said, adding that the truck driver is being treated in a nearby hospital.
Carle said at least seven people had been seriously injured and warned that number may rise.
Onlookers suggested the driver became ill and lost control of the vehicle, but officials did not confirm this. The crash happened near George Square in the central part of the city mid-afternoon, when the streets were thronged with Christmas shoppers.
Holiday shopper Alison Keith, who was yards away when the accident happened, said chaos ensued.
"I heard screaming and saw people running toward George Square," said Keith, 31. "By the time I got round the corner there were people trying to help the injured. It was horrific. There were people crying and shouting."
She said it appeared the driver "had lost control and shot across the road" into the entrance of the Queen Street train station, hitting pedestrians along the way.
Police and rescue services arrived very quickly, Keith said.
Roads surrounding the site were closed and at least six ambulances and dozens of police and fire vehicles responded.
Katz reported from London.

Canon is known for its quality prints and when we talk to a printer expert then 90% of the time they suggest you to buy Canon Printer if you want rich quality printouts.

Consider the following factors if you are not getting the quality of print that you desire.
· Paper Issues: Make sure you are using start printer paper, as otherwise, you might experience smudges, uneven or crooked text. In case you are using the special size of paper then you need to move the slider or feed the paper in a non-traditional manner. You should also ensure that you don't keep the printing paper in moisture area as paper can absorb the moisture.
· Resolution of Image: If the resolution of the image is too low then the resulted printout will look pixilated or blurry. The standard resolution of an image should be 150 ppm for clear print.
· Print Quality Settings: A printer has different quality setting starting from draft mode to Best quality. If you require a fine print quality then opt for higher settings as in draft mode you will have to compromise with its quality.

All Artists
All Works
Visit Santa Fe
SV+VS / Guest Curator Exhibition
Yoon Chung Han
Guest Curator
El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe
Yoon C Han has curated the second in our series Guest Curator Programs. Her exhibition SV+VS, Sonifying Visuals / Visualizing Sound, will be presented throughout the CURRENTS NEW MEDIA 2017 Festival at our main venue, El Museo Cultural.
Our Guest Curator Exhibition is supported by a generous grant from the Carl and Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation.
Visual Music is an art form that transforms auditory data into visual experience and shares aesthetics of music with the visual language. It closes the gap between two different sensory expressions by using the development of technology. Throughout the consistent evolution and innovations of technology, visual music has been investigated for a long time by artists, designers, engineers, and researchers in various ways. From color organ and television to mobile device and virtual reality, technological inventions have delivered higher impact to artists to push the boundaries of their multi-sensory artworks. Artists have used computer programming to create algorithmic composition and visualization based on sound data. Mapping sound into the visual language (colors, shapes and forms) can boost up higher user engagement and reading ability. Immersive audiovisual experience using sensory devices opens up a new possibility in media art and visual music field.
The diversity of these works reflects a complex and nuanced field. Yet the exhibition posits something specific: how we listen to visuals and how we see sound. Many of the artists in this exhibition aim for creating new ways of listening and seeing data. The sound and the visuals they create provide immersive experiences for visitors that resonate with them. In many of the works, visuals and sound are linked tightly together, and give rise to new understanding and exciting experiences.
This exhibition explores the cutting edge of visual music by observing diverse approaches from international artists. Artists include Reza Ali, Yuan-Yi Fan, George Legrady, Ryan McGee, Juan Manuel Escalante, Erick Oh, F. Myles Sciotto and Camella
Da Eun Kim. Artworks range from hand-drawn animation, audiovisual installation and performance, 3D sculptures, mobile application to data-driven visual sound.
The first SV+VS exhibition was held at the Fellows of Contemporary Art (FOCA), Los Angeles in January 2016. After then, anadvanced version of the exhibition with more artworks was held on the DongDaeMun Design Plaza (DDP), which is a landmark
located at the center of Seoul, built by a well-known architect, Zaha Hadid. The exhibition at the DDP included international media artists in Seoul, S.Korea and various activities on the opening reception with support from FOCA, Soongsil University in S.Korea, University of California, Santa Barbara and California State University, Fullerton.

and hitting the
ENTER key. The command would prompt for more input and provide hints in the
UI on what to do next, such as selecting the kind of line to be drawn, or picking points
in the 2D viewport (the drawing canvas). The example above also illustrates that commands
such as
LINE RECTANGLE could loop, i.e. you could create an arbitrary amount of rectangles;
hence the need to explicitly
END the command.
Essentially, each of the commands in ME10 was a domain-specific mini-language,
interpreted by a simple state machine.
The original architects of SolidDesigner (now known as CoCreate Modeling)
chose Lisp as the new extension and customization language, but they also wanted
to help users with migration to the new product. Note, however, how decidedly un-Lispy ME10's
macro language actually was:
extrude commands in parentheses.
define-symbol-macro yet. And thus,
CoCreate Modeling's Lisp evaluator extensions were born.
To be continued...
extrude is somehow... different from all the other kids. All we need is a simple experiment.
First, enter
extrude in
CoCreate Modeling's user input line: The Extrude dialog
unfolds in all its glory, and patiently awaits your input.
Now try the same with
print: All you get is an uncooperative
"Lisp error: The variable PRINT is unbound". How disappointing.
But then, the behavior for
print is expected, considering the usual
evaluation rules for Common Lisp,
particularly for symbols. As a quick reminder:
extrude & friends belong to the symbol jet-set in CoCreate Modeling. For them,
the usual evaluation rules for functions don't apply (pun intended).
Using symbol properties
as markers, they carry a backstage pass and can party anywhere.
For members of the
extrude posse, it doesn't really matter if you use them as an
atom, in the first position of a list, or anywhere else: In all cases, the function which
they refer to will be executed right away - by virtue of an extension to the evaluator
which is unique to CoCreate Modeling's implementation of Common Lisp.
You can create such upper-class symbols yourself - using a macro called
This macro is also unique to CoCreate Modeling. Functions
defined by
defaction are called, you guessed it, action routines.
But why, you ask, would I want such a feature, particularly if I know that it breaks with
established conventions for Lisp evaluation?
Well, precisely because this feature breaks with the established rules.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has given a hint which confirms that the San-Francisco based exchange may soon be launching its Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) platform.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has given a hint that confirms the San-Francisco based exchange may soon be launching its Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) platform for startups looking to issue IEOs
As reported by The Block, Armstrong gave this hint in a podcast hosted in mid-August with Patrick O'Shaughnessy, the CEO of O'Shaughnessy Asset Management, where he said Coinbase is working on a product called "Coinbase Launch or something like that."
According to the published transcript, Armstrong noted that the Coinbase IEO platform will serve as a way for, "..anybody who wants to do a crypto start up to come in and say, 'All right, I want to issue a token. Maybe I want to raise money. Maybe I just want to use it to build my community,' and just hand hold people through that process and help them with the custody of it, help them create the smart contract, help them with the governance issues, vesting of these things if you need to distribute those to employees."
While Coinbase is behind its major competitors like Binance and Huobi amongst others in launching a related IEO service platform, Armstrong has inked a uniqueness to the long-awaited platform stating that it will be a mix of Stripe Atlas, a platform for forming a company, and AngelList, a website for startups, angel investors, and job-seekers looking to work at startups.
Coinbase IEO Platform Has Long Been in the Pipeline
The plans by the exchange to launch the IEO platform came first in September 2019 when Coinbase's head of institutional sales in Asia, Kayvon Pirestani, said the exchange is considering wading into the IEO and Security Token Offering ecosystems.
Back then, Pirestani noted that the IEO/STO space has a lot of investment opportunities Coinbase can tap from. In his words, "We think there's a really interesting opportunity there for Coinbase. In a nutshell, Coinbase is carefully exploring not only the IEO space but also STOs [security token offerings]. But I can't make any formal announcements right now." While Pirestani noted that this idea can be launched in a few months from when he mentioned it, the platform is still not yet ready.
Per the reports, no timeline has been set for the release of the platform.

Twelve Magic Bus children travelled all the way to USA to attend the prestigious soccer training by Julie Foudy. "It has been a month since we all came back. And I am still to wake out of the reverie," says 17-year-old Bhavna of Trilokpuri in east Delhi. For her, it was her first journey outside Trilokpuri. "I haven't seen much in Delhi except the place I live in," she says.
Bhavna belongs to a family of five. Her mother was thrown out of her in-laws house because she failed to conceive even a year after her marriage. "She was 15 years old during her marriage. It was because of my grandmother that we got a roof over our head and the inspiration to study. She was the reason my parents never pulled us out of school despite severe economic hardships". Bhavna's father is a chauffeur with a salary of Rs. 7000 per month. Her brother had to drop out in the tenth standard to support the family. "He wanted a government job. He drives trucks now." Bhavna and her two sisters could pursue higher education because of her brother's sacrifice.
Bhavna joined Magic Bus four years ago. Her Magic Bus mentor encouraged her to pursue her dreams to become a footballer. She also advised her to never let go of education. With her support, Bhavna played as a part of Delhi's under-19 women's football team. "I was the only girl in the team from an economically weaker family. I felt lonely. No one wanted to be friends with me. My performance won them over," she reminisces. At the JFSLA, she no longer felt alienated. "On the contrary, people here were warm and curious about me and my country. I spoke, listened and experienced. I learnt how to communicate with people without fear," she puts it simply.
Back home, her economic struggles are far from over. Although there are three earning members, the combined income barely puts an end to the regular struggle for basic necessities. She still borrows money from her friends to pay for practice at the Noida stadium. She wants to study but her ambition is to become a footballer. "I want to help street children go back to school. It pains me to see them begging on the street," she says.
Bhavna's parting message is an encouraging insight into how young people living in poverty want to change the world around them.

Between the 1930s and 1970s, modernist architecture reigned as boxy houses with slit windows popped up around the countryside. Modernism Rediscovered, with text by Pierluigi Serraino, focuses on this prolific period of American architecture and provides a compilation of photographs by one of the most well-regarded photographers of architecture, Julius Shulman.
Modernist architects strove to create a total integration of art and life by producing functional living spaces that combined the mechanical and the natural. Shulman understands the architect's purpose and thus gives the landscape surrounding a building equal dominion in the composition. In the case of "Seidenbaum Residence" (designed by Richard Dorman), the sharp, structural angles of the home subtly intercede with the sloping mountains in the background. There are no historical references or flowery text to embellish the images — they come across as matter-of-fact and simplistic as the architecture itself.
In the book's attempt to be comprehensive, some photographs better left excluded are a bit dull and lifeless with little interest or contrast. For one particular photo of a home in California, Shulman chose to shoot at an odd angle that makes this house look like it's being consumed by a sinkhole. Notwithstanding, Shulman captures the strong lines and geometric shapes within the structures — he reveals personality within architecture, playing with perspective and scale. Up-angle points of view give these buildings a grand appearance and a monumental, overpowering presence.
The books uncovers that, for architects, photographers are saviors, for without them our memories of these dwellings would be lost. Because of them, these places can live forever. Serraino regards photography as the "mechanism of memory" and writes, "Disappearance from the editorial horizon effaces a project from the collective consciousness. But once the artifact has entered architectural discourse, its existence is permanently fixed in the space of the text."

Have spent some time updating my etsy store, ClothCompany. The two figures above can be pin cushions, or not. The faces are historical renderings of Catharine of Aragon, transferred onto fabric. The smaller figure wears a chenille shawl that I made in a class at the Button Box a while back (meaning — I made the chenille). It feels a little weird to stick pins into a human figure, but I think without any bad intentions, there's no possible harm (and in this case, it's hard to be deader than dead).
I have discovered that a pin cushion without ballast is a pain in the ass. That's one reason I love tea cup pin cushions. They don't move around. The other reason I love them is that they're so pretty!
You might think a pin cushion this small is not very useful, but I have discovered otherwise!
For the cupcake pin cushions, I recycled and felted some sweaters from the thrift store. This is a project that is easy enough to do with elementary-aged crafters.
All of the pin cushions shown here are available in my store, and I'll be posting more, probably tomorrow!

Shabbat experiences are part of our lives, and they change over the course of a lifetime. The Shabbat we remember (or don't) from our childhoods is not the Shabbat we will have as new parents. Single adults will have a different Shabbat, as will empty nesters.
There is no "perfect" Shabbat. Stop looking for it. Instead, experience the Shabbat that comes. Sometimes it will seem peaceful and holy, and sometimes the sink will stop up or the baby will wail half the night. Sometimes we are surrounded by people, sometimes we are alone.
Shabbat simply is. She comes with the sunset and will leave 24 hours later. In between it is up to us to make of her what we can, what we will.
Shabbat shalom.

Imagine this: you're sitting in your physician's office and she walks in, takes one look at you, scribbles out a prescription and says, "Take one of these a day and call me in a week." You reply, "But you didn't even ask me any questions or give me any tests." She responds, "I gave these to my last three patients and they all got better so I know they'll work for you."
This sounds ridiculous in a medical situation but it happens all the time in business. A company's sales are declining and someone picks up one of the many "prescription books." The book says that if you do what these successful companies did (i.e., "break all the rules," "create a customer-centric organization," "innovate or die," etc.) that you too will rocket to stardom. What the majority of these books don't do is clearly diagnose the context that the organizations were in as they ascended their stairways to success.
In medicine, the adage is "prescription without diagnosis equals malpractice. Without a keen understanding of your business context, it's impossible to determine if the business prescription will indeed "cure what ails you."
Do you have a good feel for the current context of your business? What are the top three things happening relative to your market, customers, competitors and company? If we don't know what's happening around us, there's a good chance it's happening to us.
