Plum Brandy aka Slivovitz is making a comeback and was recently discussed in a major article in The Forward.
California is blessed with some of the best plums in the country, which have gone into making Mosby Slivovitz. Harvested from a small orchard in San Benito County, California. These perfectly ripened plums were artfully fermented and distilled by Bill Mosby under the careful Rabbinical supervision of Rabbi Yonah Bookstein.
This exceptional brandy was awarded a Silver medal at the 2010 International Review of Spirits, and a Bronze medal at the San Francisco Chronicle spirits competition.
Special Passover 2013 Price $45 for a limited time

For those who wait til the birth to find out their baby's sex, the cliche'd announcement is "It's a boy!"

I don't refer to adults as it even if (first person neuter possessive) gender is unknown, but I'd like to. It'd be much cleaner than using he/she, less awkward than he/she or (s)he, and less jarring than they.

For pets I'll often link a gender to a species. Cats are feminine and dogs are masculine. This sets up cognitive dissonance if the animal is the other sex. Especially when the owner is uptight about such things.Albert Welchhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-30195828163737650592012-08-26T14:11:05.814+01:002012-08-26T14:11:05.814+01:00Anybody calling my little girl 'it' 32 yea...Anybody calling my little girl 'it' 32 years ago would have been on the receiving end of some choice rhetoric from me.

I don't know whether your interest stretches to jokey treatment by serious linguists, but you might enjoy "Singular they": God said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Précis: Singular they is commonplace in translations of the Bible — the King James Version and earlier.David Crosbiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-91293077492235436272010-11-27T09:40:30.948Z2010-11-27T09:40:30.948ZI am always interested by the fact that people see...I am always interested by the fact that people seem to consider the impersonal "they" a recent innovation. I know for a fact we used it at school in the 1960s: "Is anybody sitting there?" "Yes, they are!" We were told, repeatedly, that the correct usage would be "Yes, she is", but it sounded odd and we persisted in saying "They are" or "No they're not" as appropriate (BrE, Hampshire, 1960s).Mrs Redboots (Annabel Smyth)http://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-10845488860015320992010-11-27T02:13:56.700Z2010-11-27T02:13:56.700ZMrs Redboots I am inclined to believe that in BrE...Mrs Redboots

I am inclined to believe that in BrE, at any rate, "baby" is a neuter noun and takes "it" just as "ship" is a female one and takes "she" (as do various other inanimate objects in my husband's Northern Ireland dialect).

I do agree with what you say — but not with the terms you use to say it.

It's not the noun baby that's in question — as is it is with German Kind or Russian ребёнок (rebyonok). Those nouns are neuter — English baby isn't. It's the individual infant that counts. You said earlier that your grandchild is always he — even if he's referred to with the word baby.

Any seagoing vessel of a particular sort may be referred to with the word ship. It needs to be a ship you have some affection for to qualify as she.

And it's not nouns in you husbands's dialect that 'take she' — but rather the inanimate objects themselves.

Young women have always been female, but in Modern German and Old English the nouns Mädchen and maiden that label young women are neuter.

It may seem nit-picking, but this is the essence of how English gender differs from gender in most neighbouring languages.David Crosbiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-1575180510029268032010-11-27T01:39:30.460Z2010-11-27T01:39:30.460Zvp I missed your other point about singular they ...vp

I missed your other point about singular they being restricted to humans.

I think this has to be explained as a secondary effect of politeness rules.

For an animate individual of unknown sex:

• Few of us feel an absolute need to avoid it for a non-human.

• Some of us don't feel the need to avoid it for a human infant.

• All of us feel the need to avoid it for a human post-infant.

For those who find it acceptable, singular they may be used when the decision has already been taken to avoid it.

Its reference is not necessarily confined to people. Speakers whose attitude to animals precludes the use of it may choose to use they for a single animal.

Singular they is not used for a single inanimate object because there is no need to avoid itDavid Crosbiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-14170270426000127272010-11-27T01:06:21.193Z2010-11-27T01:06:21.193Zvp We can use it for a non-infant human of unknow...vp

We can use it for a non-infant human of unknown (or ignored) biological sex, but rules of politeness restrict the use to questions like Who is it? In other contexts we use the similarly non-gendered pronoun that or a non-gendered noun phrase such as that person.

The only difference between British speakers like me and the generality of American speakers (together with some British speakers) is that they extend these rules of politeness to infants, and we don't.

It's not a question of grammar. English has lost its neuter gender. And we have rejected common-gender he as sexist. For pragmatic cultural reasons we use he and she when we can and just struggle when the biological sex is unknown.

• It is still available to some of us — but politeness restricts this to almost entirely infants.

• That is sometimes usable, but often precluded by the syntax.

• Singular they is not universally accepted, and so is confined to informal styles.

So, yes I concede we do distinguish between inanimate objects and post-infant humans of indeterminate sex — but not through our grammar.David Crosbiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-68839231230111637522010-11-26T10:09:00.484Z2010-11-26T10:09:00.484Z@ vp: I am inclined to believe that in BrE, at any...@ vp: I am inclined to believe that in BrE, at any rate, "baby" is a neuter noun and takes "it" just as "ship" is a female one and takes "she" (as do various other inanimate objects in my husband's Northern Ireland dialect).

David Crosbie claims that BrE doesn't distinguish between
* inanimate objects, and
* animate things of unknown sex.

I claim otherwise, on the grounds that "it" is used of inanimate things, and not of adults whose sex is unknown. The consequence is that those who use "it" of infants implicitly classify them with inanimate objects rather than with other human beings.

Singular "they" is, as far as I am aware, used only with persons. So this supports the claim that inanimate objects are generally treated differently from human beings in BrE.vphttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-51615467012704304872010-11-26T09:29:10.532Z2010-11-26T09:29:10.532Z@ vp: But is "they" really any less impe...@ vp: But is "they" really any less impersonal than "it"?

A recent study conducted by the AARP concluded that many seniors in the city have been the victims of scams targeting the elderly. NY1's Susan Jhun filed the following NY1 For You report.
A sweepstakes with a million dollar prize caught Wendy D'Lugin's eye.
"My interest was perked, but then I started to read and I started to think," she said.
D'Lugin didn't take the bait, but according to a recent study conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons, many seniors in the city have fallen prey to scams targeting the elderly.
The report found roughly one-third of all those fifty-plus surveyed in the city had been targeted or victimized by scam artists.
"This is an age group with limited income that may just jump at an opportunity to win a million dollars by wiring somebody a hundred," said David Irwin of AARP.
The report found the scams vary from borough to borough, with scammers cashing in on credit card, mortgage, investment and sweepstakes scams, among others. Even more disturbing, the study found that 37 percent of victims aged 65 and older did not report the scams.
AARP encourages family and friends to take notice of scams that may be targeting their loved ones.
"When they notice they're over for a Sunday dinner and they're getting calls and they've got sweepstakes mail on the dining room table," Irwin said. "Have these conversations, the same conversations your parents had with you when you were young about if something looks too good to be true, it most likely is. Now we're encouraging adult children to have those conversations with their parents in their older years."
For tips on how to avoid scams aimed at the elderly, go to aarp.org/newyork.
If you'd like "NY1 For You" to look into a problem, call our 24-hour helpline at 212-379-3599 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bruce Vilanch, Eric Roberts, Rex Lee and Janina Gavankar to Judge 6th Annual Toscars
The hugely anticipated list of celebrity judges for the 6th Annual Toscars, has been confirmed; iconic comedian and six time Emmy Award winner Bruce Vilanch, True Blood Star Janina Gavankar, Entourage and Suburgatory star Rex Lee and the Oscar nominated actor Eric Roberts. Every year after the Oscars are announced, the Toscars participants have only three weeks to make a short parody of the films, which are played live in Hollywood and judged by celebrity judges. It is a chance for the entertainment industry to have a good old-fashioned giggle.
Previous celebrity judge and the ever popular American comedian, Bruce Vilanch was such a great addition to last year's event that he has been invited back to judge for the second year running as the 'Head Judge'. The six-time Emmy Award winner and head writer for the Oscars calls the Toscars, "More fun than the actual Oscars".
Musician and True Blood Star, Janina Gavankar has also confirmed as a celebrity Judge for the 6th annual Toscars event. The American beauty is also known for her notable roles in The L word, The Gates and The League and has returned to music with a rethinking of Kanye West's song Love Lockdown.
Oscar nominated Eric Roberts will also be joining in the fun and sharing his expert opinions. Eric is known for his work in the Hollywood blockbuster The Dark Night and The Expendables. His TV work includes three seasons with the sitcom Less than Perfect and a recurring role on the NBC drama Heroes and earned both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination for his supporting role in Runaway Train(1985).
The final judge confirmed for the 2013 annual Toscars, is Suburgatory Actor Rex Lee; the Korean American actor, who is best known for his starring role in the HBO hit series Entourage as Lloyd Lee and in the ABC high rating comedy as Mr Wolfe in Suburgatory.
The Awards the judges will decide upon include 'Best Whactor', 'Best Whactress', 'Best Film' and more. This red carpet awards ceremony is a black tie affair, which is attended by celebrities, the media and 'Brits in LA' members. Also starring in the Parody of Argo, is real life Argo actress Tehmina Sunny. Who will win the Toscar for best film? The celebrity judges will decide and all will be revealed on February 19th at the Lloyd E. Rigler Theatre at the Egyptian in Hollywood.

IO's shift has to be one of the oddest in recent memory. From Hitman's brutality and Kane & Lynch's sweary language to a cel-shaded ninja jaunt? Our hero, er, Hiro, can even turn into a cute panda. If Kane and Lynch ever met a panda they'd blow it up with a bazooka...
Interestingly, Mini Ninjas borrows ideas from both of IO's recent worlds. You can go in stabby-stabby action style or sneak in like our favourite barcoded baldy. Maybe it's Hiro's dumpy stature, but the action reminds us of the Lego games. Speedy button-hammering is translated by Hiro into mad flourishes, but it's not exactly difficult.
Luckily, an arsenal of ninja tools and ninja pals keep things fresh. When Hiro's blade glances off burly hides it's time to swap-in lardy Futo for a bit of whack-a-ninja with his handy mallet. Alternatively, you could instead rummage around in Hiro's pocket for cherry bombs, shurikens or a ninja fireball. Cherry bombs are the best, exploding ninja squadrons into puffy clouds.
Hiro's magic is the backbone to Mini Ninjas' best stealthy moments. By simply waving his hands he can possess animals. Bringing down a feudal warlord's stronghold may seem tricky in chicken form, but what guard is going to give a hen a second glance as it clucks on through the entrance? Possess a larger animal - a panda or boar - and Hiro can unleash furry pain while the animal takes the spears and arrows...
The combat's ease means you don't have to worry about enemy encounters, but slinking around is satisfying enough to tempt you from brawling. Invading the castle of the Earth Lord - one of the nasty types poisoning the land - there's great fun to be had taking to the rooftops and legging it along lantern strings while guards foolishly patrol below. If Pixar made a Tenchu game we'd imagine it would look like this.
If only IO could up the combat stakes to make the softly-softly approach worthwhile. We're all for freedom to choose, but each choice has to earn its place. A mini fix could make for big fun.

In 1843, Charles Lane and Amos Bronson Alcott—father to writer Louisa May Alcott—founded a utopian and transcendentalist community in the fields of Harvard. More than 70 years later, visionary Clara Endicott Sears was so moved by their experiment that she decided to establish a museum on the same site to preserve its history. Today, the Fruitlands Farmhouse stands as a testament to the original settlers' ingenuity, which surfaced in their trailblazing thoughts on veganism, sustainable living, and harnessing moon beams to power home stereo equipment.
Clara has incorporated the Shakers' original office into Fruitlands, where it now shows off Shaker artwork and artifacts, many of which were donated by the Shakers themselves. Since then, the museum has also collected a curated assortment of more than 1,000 Native American artifacts, as well as a longhouse, dugout canoe, and traditional garden.
The brains behind the museum are still innovating today, curating permanent additions such as an art gallery with Hudson River School Landscapes. In addition to organizing school field trips, the staff also hires experts to teach classes and workshops on sketching scenes from nature, painting watercolor landscapes, and constructing 3D sculptures.
Looking to put a new spin on a classic family activity, the minds behind Glowgolf decided to give the game a phosphorescent update. Incandescent courses place friends and family amid a tropical-fantasy golf world of neon orange, green, and violet surroundings. Players putt luminous orbs through vibrant treasure chests and glimmering windmills while negotiating tricky obstacles near walls portraying black-light-lit aquatic scenes. With more than 20 locations spread over 10 states, Glowgolf's fluorescent labyrinths challenge human players and traveling gnomes.
Play time speeds on unabated at Roll On America, a 30,000-square-foot wonderland containing an indoor skating rink, laser-tag arena, and arcade. Skaters trade in street shoes for traditional quad or sleek inline wheels and zoom across the floor, executing figure eights or even more intricate figure 16s. Inside a futuristic laser-tag arena marked by neon alien landscapes, would-be warriors duck and cover their way to victory by blasting indicator vests with high-powered beams. Post-tagging, Roll On America's onsite eatery serves up snacks, and an arcade area houses more than 25 classic and modern games.

To understand the origins of Red Tail Golf Club's name, just look upwards: that's where majestic red-tailed hawks soar above the region. Down on the ground, Red Tail has soared metaphorically, with plenty of press and awards to back up its status as one of the state's best golf clubs.
The 18-hole, par 72 course embodies classic New England terrain with rows of maple trees, birches, oaks, and pines. Still, other areas are mnemonic of the coast thanks to areas of ample sand and tall grasses. Cleverly named holes help break up the course even further, such as "Bunkers," a chunk of land that was once populated with ammunition storage bunkers?some of which can still be seen to the right of the green.

Joyous sounds reverberate off the walls at Mason Recreation Center, a decades-old entertainment emporium managed by a staff committed to keeping its guests entertained. Pins clatter on dozens of lanes designed for candlepin bowling, a variation on tenpin bowling that uses smaller balls and cylindrical pins that are not cleared away between frames so bowlers can hear their faint screams. The staff engineers the fun activities, hosting open bowling, overseeing league competition, and throwing birthday shindigs in private rooms. On several tournament-size tables, billiard balls clack against one another, and in the onsite arcade, video games bleep and purr like robots napping on magnets. In warm weather, the staff unfurls an 18-hole miniature golf course and opens an onsite sweets station that serves freshly scooped ice cream.

2-3 of your greatest achievements since you've been in college and why?
Receiving the SWE Outstanding Member Award and College of Engineering Student
Service Award
I got involved with student activities to overcome my debilitating shyness. Receiving these awards signified that I had accomplished a transition from dragging myself to participate to feeling energized by it.
Receiving the SWE Web Site Award
Without training in web design, I competed against not only the other student sections, but professional sections around the nation. Despite competing with more HTML-experienced people, I brought this award to my section. After getting so much from SWE, I was able to give something back.
Earning the highest grade in an organic chemistry class of ~200 people
I worked very hard for this grade and loved the subject, so it was a great feeling to see that the hard work paid off.
12. Which subjects have you enjoyed studying the most and why?
I have enjoyed hydrology, fluids, solid & hazardous waste management, water and wastewater treatment, and oceanography because I love water and environmental topics.
Calculus and linear algebra excite me because I love logic.
I enjoyed the writing and analysis in economic history.
Business law thrilled me because I have a strong interest in legal matters.
13. Which subjects did you dislike and why?
Introductory soil elicited little interest in me, most likely because the professor was inexperienced, the book was ineffective, and I had little spare time that semester to look into other resources.
14. Do you have plans to continue your education?
Yes, but not immediately. I plan to continue part time with either an MBA or an environmental engineering masters, depending on which will be more beneficial to my work.
15. How would a professor who knows you well describe you? One who does not know you well?
A professor who knows me well would likely describe my personal qualities: sweet, down-to-earth, smart, hard-working, and conscientious.
As specific examples of those who did not know me well, my soils professor and soils teaching assistant each considered me smart and respectful, and both thought that I must have enjoyed the class a lot, due to my performance.
16. Given the chance, how would you alter your education?
Knowing now what I like the most, I would have used my electives for extra math and psychology classes, since I tend to be well-rounded enough that a variety of classes are unnecessary; my personal reading is diverse enough. I have found that mathematics and psychology are helpful to all career and life paths.
17. Which part-time job did you enjoy the most and why?
Working for PM Environmental was most enjoyable to me, since I felt like I was significantly contributing to the company, and I enjoyed learning on my own.
18. Interests:
Some of my interests include dogs, hiking, snow-shoeing, water sports, writing, reading (especially Charles Dickens' novels), skiing, drawing, crafts, and computers.
19. What are your strengths?
My strongest strength is the ability to teach myself difficult material, regardless of the subject (with the exception of theater and drawing blood from dogs, which I have no talent for). Additionally, I have always excelled verbally and look forward to writing opportunities.
20. What are your weaknesses?
I tend to try to do too many things, leaving little time for myself. I have worked on balancing myself for the last several months. I am also working on improving my public speaking skills.
21. What sort of serious problems have you experienced, and how have you handled them?
My apartment building burned down at the end of January during one of my semesters at MSU. Before the fire got too bad, I was able to rescue my pets and the neighbor's dog, as well as my textbooks and backpack, but I lost most of my mementos and possessions. While the firemen were preparing their hoses, I drove to school (with the animals in the car) to meet my lab partners, who were waiting for me. I explained the situation, emailed my professors, and rushed back to the apartment.
Fortunately, I had renter's insurance. I missed about a week of school to deal with the insurance matters and find a new place to live. In order to salvage my grades and sanity, I dropped a course and honored my existing student group and research commitments. Staying active socially and keeping myself well-rounded were the best healing tools for me. Within a few weeks, I was caught up and had recovered reasonably from the loss of sentimental items.
22. Do you or have you in the past experimented with illegal drugs?
No. My only addictions are caffeine and sugar.
23. Would you be willing to take a drug test?
Of course.
24. Do you drink alcohol socially?
No, but I enjoy Shirley Temples quite a bit.

We're all for celebrating, but we're a bit more on the fence about Rihanna's matchy-matchy outfit. It strikes us as just a tad bit Palm-Beach-Florida-Cheesecake-On-The-Lanai for our taste.

- 0Mar 7, '12 by turnforthenurseRNMy facility schedules staff meetings at 0730 to accommodate for night shift and then again at 1500 and have them over a span of three days. The meetings usually last an hour, which is doable, imo. Sometimes they last longer. That is better than when we still had our old director - it wasn't uncommon to have a staff meeting that lasted FOUR HOURS - imagine going to that after working or if you had to work that night! A lot of night shifters would start trickling out after 90 minutes, but I always felt rude for just walking out so I would stay there :/ And of course those meetings were ALWAYS mandatory.
Now, they're not necessarily mandatory but during your yearly evaluation they see how many staff meetings you have attended.

The White Ribbon Campaign was founded in 1991 by a group of men committed to ending men's violence against women through education, discussion, and action. The campaign was founded after fourteen female students were systematically targeted because of their gender and killed by a gunman at the University of Montreal. The initiative now has grown into the largest effort in the world addressing gender violence.
The international campaign was introduced to Massachusetts by Jane Doe, Inc., the Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence as the 'Massachusetts White Ribbon Campaign'.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Good full ruby-red. Superripe aromas of sweet, sappy berries; not roasted. Lush, sweet and sappy, with compelling freshness and depth of sappy fruit. This has terrific early appeal as well as a firm structure to support further development in bottle. Finishes with big, chewy, tongue-dusting tannins and superb lingering sweetness of dark berry fruit. The best Maiden vintage yet.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Sweet, deep black currant fruit, espresso, licorice, graphite, and earth aromas emerge from the dense, ruby/purple-colored 2002 The Maiden, which cascades over the palate without a hard edge. Like its bigger sibling, it's impossible to resist at present, but promises to age well for 15 years.Drink Dates: 2005-2020

Very rich and concentrated, racy at points, with dried currant, loamy earth and savory dried herb notes. Drying on the finish, yet the flavors run deep and persistent.Drink Dates: 2012-2020
