This was my first time filming with the ContourHD 1080p camera on the snow. So you wont see any crazy ski and snowboard tricks or sick shots in this video. I'm still getting a feel for the best way to use this camera.
Mt. Holiday is a great little ski hill in Traverse City, Michigan. It overlooks the East Grand Traverse Bay. We were surprised to see some fresh tracks in the snow. I wouldn't call it powder skiing, but it was close enough for me.

I loved that the price was decent and we were still able to use the amenities of the Hyatt hotel. I also loved that it was just a two block walk from the beach and the room was spacious and very clean.
Since it is an extension of the Hyatt, there was no concierge or reception in the Parkside Inn itself. You would have to walk down the street to check in. The hotel key kept randomly failing every day which made it more difficult to correct.The room was very spacious and the staff were very kind and would go above and beyond to try to help us. The gym was wonderful and the location superb. It was only a 2 block walk from the beach and we didn't have to pay nearly as much as it would've cost to stay at the Hyatt. My only major complaint was that our room key kept getting deactivated and since the hotel reception was in the main Hyatt hotel, it made it much more difficult to remedy the situation. We had hotel key issues daily but the staff was k...

The location is very good, close to East Beach, State Street and the wharf. The rooms are nicely furnished, the bed was very comfortable, and windows open. They have a good continental breakfast with an amazing selection of muffins and pastries.
Almost all the rooms require climbing steps. The room price was very high for the rating of the hotel, but I paid it because it was university graduation weekend.Very friendly and helpful staff (owners). Rooms were especially nicely furnished. One room (117) has a partial view of the ocean/beach, and is very spacious--I'd recommend reserving this room if one plans to spend much time in the room. Breakfast is served in the lobby, and can be eaten in the rooms or outside--might not work for some if the weather is not pleasant.

Staff was awesome, location was great, breakfast was better than I expected. Room was clean, well decorated and comfortable. Pool area was nice, parking was free and convenient. The Hotel was sooo convenient to the beach and State Street.
Bathroom door is louvered -not so good for privacy. Pillows were suboptimal- like a pillow case stuffed with cotton balls. Balcony was nice but wish there had been light blocking curtains.Overall I was pleased with the hotel and would stay there again, but I will bring my own pillows.

Loved the location, it is walkable to many places on the beachfront, but it does take nearly 30 min to walk to Stears Warf so you have to be up for that. Rooms were clear and quaint for the most part. Quiet, decent flat screen TV's, the pool is warm.
The carpets need to be changed, they are pretty nasty (wear flip-flops) and lighting could be improved in the rooms, it was kind of dark unless you open the curtains on both sides of the room.Great location, and good price. Convenience story one block over, and 3 blocks up, one more block up to a grocery store. Bedding was nice, and the whole place seemed pretty clean, no funky smells. Cute balcony, with a little ocean view.

The hotel has pleasant grounds and is in a great location across the street from the oceanfront. It has easy access to State Street and the Santa Barbara Bowl and other attractions in the area.
No free wifi in the rooms, the parking fee add-on is annoying as the hotel is surrounded by a huge parking lot and you have to drive to your room because the hotel is so spread out.The hotel was generally friendly and accommodating, and the room spacious and clean. I don't know why hotels greet you with $7 bottles of water in the room however- it is a very unwelcoming gesture and guests would be far more impressed by the hotel if they offered a couple of free water bottles on arrival. There is a nice large pool area with cocktail service, but the pool was full of little kids so is perhaps more of a family friendly hotel than romantic getaway. The King room was quite large and had a separate seating area that was quite nice. If you really want a good view, ...

Today's tutorial is a Style-laboration {style collaboration} with Lilith Moon, one of my all-time favorite hair gurus on YouTube.
We have wanted to work together for several years, but since Lilith lives in France, and we are in the US… the large distance makes it too difficult to film a video in person. So, for this type of a collaboration, we decided that I would recreate one of my favorite Lilith Moon hairstyles, while Lilith recreates her favorite CGH hairstyle for her fans on her channel!
Lilith's most popular video is actually Lace Braided Ponytail, with over 5,000,000 views, and is the tutorial we used as inspiration for this post. Variations of this style have been popular on Pinterest, most likely fueled by Lilith's video tutorial.
CGH#3 volunteered to be my model, since she watches Lilith's tutorials as well, and we included the bonus updo at the end as well!
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHLaceBraidedPony
I admire Lilith's creativity and how well she incorporates extensions for longer hairstyles, while also filming DIY styles for shorter hair. You can find more about her here:
If you are curious to see which of all our 230+ hairstyles Lilith decide to showcase to her fans on her channel, simply click here…
I have been subscribed to Lilith for nearly 5 years now, and can honestly say that I adore her styles, her beauty, and her definitely her accent!
Although we have not yet met in person, I cannot wait until we can! I hope each one of you loves her styles as much as we do!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, pomade, 1-2 ponytail holders, 1 small hair elastic, 3-4 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory{if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of this Lace Braided Ponytail and Updo!
As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!
Happy Hairstyling!
My twins have been asking for months to film a Twin Tag video for their BrooklyAndBailey YouTube channel, which is a video talking all about what it is like being a twin. The girls finally did it, and their interactions and reactions are so funny to watch! Simply click below to see…
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and as is customary, every year we try to add one more cute and creative hairstyle that you can wear for the occasion. {You can pick your favorite from our Valentine's Day Hairstyles playlist.}
Today's tutorial is absolutely adorable, and you can share/pin it <——- here!
A very good friend of mine, whose twin daughters we have used in some of our Disney hairstyles, texted me a photo of a heart bun that she created the other day and wanted me to see it! We loved it so much that we asked her if we could film a tutorial for it… he said that was her intention!
So today, we are going to show you how to create a Love Bun {heart-shaped sock bun}!
What I love about this hairstyle, is how simple it is to create the heart form out of a simple bun maker and a few hair elastics. I would never have thought of that!
So this Love Bun tutorial is dedicated to my friend Jill, one of my best friends and an even better vacationing buddy!
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHLoveBun
If you know how to make a sock bun, this hairstyle will be easy for you. You can use the bun alone, as I did in CGH#4, or in any number of combinations, including one I show you on CGH#3. You can also do two on top of the head, or incorporate a braid around the base, etc.
We've worn this around several times in the past two weeks and had people stopping us everywhere! If you want a comment-getter hairstyle for Valentine's Day, this is the one!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 bun maker {hair donut}, 4 small hair elastics, 2-3 hair bands, 6-8 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-8 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
I know some of you will ask, but yes, you could carefully wrap the head in an old towel and spray the heart red with temporary color {adding a spritz of glitter spray as an accent}.
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of Valentine's Day Love Bun idea! Of the two ideas shown in the video, which was your favorite?
If you love the look of this hairstyle, please help us by sharing it on YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc! I have a feeling that this video will go viral with your help if you send it to as many friends as you can! The Love Bun is simply too adorable to keep a secret!
You can also share the link by clicking any of the social share buttons in the floating sidebar to the left!
Happy early Valentine's Day!
A week ago, Brooklyn had her braces taken off and filmed it all for their BrooklyAndBailey YouTube channel. You can see the process, before and after, including her reaction by clicking below…Comment on this post »
This braid is similar-looking to a conjoined double Cobra Braid, only the stranding is different and very tricky.
This is not a new braiding technique, but the braid should be included on the list as one of the most beautiful braids out there!
I first saw this technique in video form on YouTube in Spanish back in July by a talented braider named Diana Rojas. Our version uses the technique diagonally across the back and ending in a braided bun for an absolutely gorgeous updo! {The braid would actually look great in any number of hairstyle combos.}
Tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHZipperBraid
We imagine this hairstyle as being a perfect updo for Prom, Homecoming, or any other formal occasion. You are going to simply LOVE IT!!!
My first huge tip is to wet down the hair before braiding. For braids that involve multiples in stranding, we find that this helps the braid be more clean and crisp in the final look.
As you braid, you may find a few "sharks" {parts where the hair sticks up like a shark fin in water} will appear. Simply comb them towards the braid and tuck them under it, to help hide them.
This is an expert-level braid that can be difficult the first few times, but is easy each subsequent attempt and truly amazing if you know how to do it! Again, the first few stitches are the most difficult, so keep practicing until you get it!
CGH3 has worn this to school a few days over the past few months. The girls at her school loved it so much that they were taking photos of them on their phones and texting it to their friends.
Apparently the photos spread to older sisters, who then showed the photos to my twins at their Junior High asking them to show me the style! My twins and CGH3 thought that was so funny how fast it spread, and came back full circle to us!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hairband, 3-5 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-10 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of this Zipper Braid Updo! As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!

This past week, my twins BrooklyAndBailey shared a Book Review video, sharing their thoughts on John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and Marie Lu's Legend!
My favorite hairstyles over the years happen to be the ones that are so easy to do, but they leave your friends wondering exactly how you did it!
Today's braid is just like that! This came from Emily, a viewer who emailed me with a photo asking if I could recreate it.
The style looks something like a simple braid, but the elbows are not offset… they are exactly the same, looking like little inverted hearts sitting on top of each other.
Plus, this Pull-Through Braid is so easy, even a daddy can do it! {Although I can imagine dads getting out their Stanley tape measures to make sure that each stitch is exactly two inches long!}
In the video below, I show you how to create a high-braid version on my third daughter.
Then my oldest, Brooklyn, shows you her DIY side braid version that she did herself in about three minutes this morning.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, 10+/- small hair elastics, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-7 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:

I do often wear ponytails, and me and the girls love them in our home because they are cute at any age. The hardest part finding ways to spice up the hairstyle so that it is not just a "plain old" floppy ponytail!
Brooklyn and I thought about this during the week and decided to show you all how to cutify a high ponytail using a fluffy fishtail braid. If you know how to back comb hair, and create a fishtail braid, then this hairstyle will be super easy for you to do!
I started Brooklyn off with a Single Frenchback into a hair-wrapped high pony. From there, the rest is in the video further below…
Although I show you how to do this on Brooklyn's hair, I have worn it twice this past week.
The perfect DIY aspect of this hairstyle is that the fishtail starts about 6-8 inches from the top of the ponytail, making it easier for you to swing the hair over your shoulder and fishtail from the front!

Hedge Fund Industry Survey Reveals More than One-Third of Professionals Feel Pressured to Break the Rules in Pursuit of Alpha
Significant Percentage of Hedge Fund Professionals Have Witnessed Misconduct and Lack Faith in Regulators and Fund Leadership
NEW YORK, NY (April 2, 2013) – An independent survey of hedge fund professionals commissioned by law firm Labaton Sucharow LLP, HedgeWorld and the Hedge Fund Association, revealed that nearly half (46%) believe that their competitors engage in illegal activity; more than one third (35%) have personally felt pressure to break the rules and about one third (30%) have witnessed misconduct in the workplace.
When asked if they would blow the whistle or report the misconduct, 87% of respondents said they would report wrongdoing given the protections and incentives such as those offered by the SEC Whistleblower Program. This investor protection program has broad extraterritorial reach and offers eligible whistleblowers, regardless of nationality, significant employment protections, monetary awards and the ability to report anonymously. To ensure that adequate funds are available to pay awards, Congress has established a replenishing Investor Protection Fund, which currently has a balance in excess of $450 million.
"While wrongdoing in the hedge fund industry may not be as widespread as many outside the industry believe, it does occur, and people in the industry are aware of it," remarked Christopher Clair, Managing Editor at Hedgeworld. "It's only when we eliminate the unfair advantages sought and exploited by some that true alpha can be found."
"The high percentage of hedge fund professionals that are aware of the SEC Whistleblower Program and are willing to report wrongdoing is extremely encouraging," said Jordan Thomas, Chair of the Whistleblower Representation Practice at Labaton Sucharow. "Without individuals willing to report possible securities violations, internally or externally, responsible organizations and law enforcement authorities cannot police the marketplace effectively and efficiently."
The survey's top ten findings include:
"Our members have a deep commitment to corporate integrity," noted Lara Block, Executive Director of the Hedge Fund Association. "Although some of the findings are troubling, this groundbreaking survey provides valuable insights that will help the industry to further strengthen its investor protection programs and root out any bad actors."
About the Survey
Between February 25-March 17, 2013, ORC International conducted a confidential online survey of 127 respondents age 18 or older who work in the Hedge Fund industry. The sample for the study came from three sources: HedgeWorld, The Hedge Fund Association and ResearchNow.
About Labaton Sucharow LLP
For 50 years, Labaton Sucharow has been one of the country's premier law firms comprehensively representing businesses, institutional investors and consumers in complex securities and business litigation. It was the first law firm in the country to establish a practice exclusively focused on protecting and advocating for whistleblowers who report possible securities violations to the SEC. Building on the firm's market-leading securities litigation platform, the Whistleblower Representation Practice leverages a world-class in-house team of investigators, financial analysts and forensic accountants with federal and state law enforcement experience to provide unparalleled representation for whistleblowers. The practice is led by Jordan A. Thomas, a former Assistant Director and Assistant Chief Litigation Counsel in the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission who played a leadership role in the development of the SEC Whistleblower Program. The firm is consistently among the top plaintiffs litigation firms based on its rankings in Chambers & Partners, The Legal 500, The National Law Journal's Plaintiffs' Hot List and Benchmark Plaintiff. More information about Labaton Sucharow and the Whistleblower Representation Practice is available at http://www.labaton.com/.

How I Prepare My Autistic Son for Passover
Every year around this time I come down with an acute form of memory loss. I call it Passover Brain. With just two weeks to go before the first Seder, the panic sets in and suddenly it's as if I'm observing the holiday for the very first time.
Where did I store the seder plate? How do I get those crumbs out from way underneath the oven? Does anyone make haroset safe for my nut-allergic kids? And why–why–is the only thing in my "Pesach" folder a 3-year-old shopping list? Read the rest of this entry →

Join the informed, opinionated journalists of The Times' editorial staff in lively discussions at our blog Ed Cetera.
Must reads from the weekend: Greek vote, Rodney King, Wendi Murdoch
Happy rainy Monday. Good reads from the weekend.
Greece votes in party that supports bailout. Europe says "phew." We did too. Worldwide angst over Greece has sent our own stock market up and down repeatedly this year. Here is our earlier editorial that explains why this vote was so important to Washington state.
Last October, European leaders advanced Greece $169 billion — a huge amount, considering that Greece's economy is slightly smaller than the state of Washington's. Now Greece needs more cash to keep up the structure of its debts.
a detective threatened he would "beat the (expletive) Mexican piss out of you." Our editorial page editor Kate Riley even mentioned King her Sunday column on the upcoming election season.
Wendi Murdoch, wife of embattled media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. The best part about this New York Times story is the frame by frame video of when she leaped to defend her husband from a pie thrower.
I am going to start keeping a tally on how many profiles of Asian Americans reference the book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" and its author Amy Chua. Hash mark No. 1.
"She was asking for advice like, 'How do you get a child to practice piano for more than one hour a day?' " Ms. Chua recalled of their first meeting. "She parents almost identically to the way I do."
Father writes about his son's fight for gay marriage. This was the most moving piece of writing I read all weekend — from the New York Times' Modern Love column. It comes in second to Lynne K. Varner's column honoring the fathers who stepped in.

Johnny Manziel's wait to be picked in the NFL draft may have been agonizing for the polarizing quarterback, but it was the perfect fodder for social media.
Before Johnny Football could finally smile when the Browns took him at No. 22, the hashtag "BeforeManzielGetsDrafted" was a trending sensation on Twitter. Here were a few of our favorites — you'll get the drift:

Greg Pomes (@GregPomes) May 09, 2014
Even the NFL's official Twitter account was piling on. After the Dallas Cowboys became the 16th team to pass on the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Texas A&M, the league tweeted:
NFL (@nfl) May 09, 2014
With the Cowboys' pick coming up, a guy who knows something about slipping in the draft chimed in.
This should be an interesting 10 minutes.—
Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) May 09, 2014
In 2005, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers fell to the 24th pick as the TV cameras chronicled his distress just as they did for Manziel on Thursday.
Then there were the memes that poked fun at the love-him-or-hate-him Manziel going to the downtrodden Browns.

After 23 days, Libyan authorities finally cordoned off the consulate Thursday and prohibited people from entering it as American investigators made their first brief visit to the site. For weeks, Washington has said it was too dangerous to send FBI agents to Benghazi. But now, they may be too late to piece together the clues to the attack. A number of Libyans and foreigners have visited the compound, according to the gardener Idris Muhammad Juma'a. "Every day people come and look around," Idris told TIME, sitting in a plastic chair under a palm tree on Tuesday. "The other day some Turks came and took a big painting."
But it is not the disappearance of paintings that should disturb American investigators and intelligence officials. Large white boards listing names and numbers of U.S. military and diplomatic installations abroad have vanished. Documents with detailed accounts of previous attacks against the consulate have disappeared as well. "It's not our job to stop people from taking things," Idris says. "We are just gardeners."
Though Idris and his companion are tending to the grounds, the Americans have not secured the compound. Idris saysAmerican officials only visited the consulate once around Sept. 24. "They came with some translators and took some pictures. They left after 10 minutes."
It is not only the consulate the FBI has neglected. Libyans guarding the compound the night of the attacknote they have not been contacted by Americans since the incident. "I thought they would want to speak to us," says Muhammad, who saw some of the attackers. "But no one has called us."

DOT chief details highway funding worries; Senate president opposes gas tax hike
The state's highway fund receives about $120 million a year from the gas tax and about $105 million to $110 million from vehicle registrations.
Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, said Tuesday night the DOT cannot keep asking for more money.
A bill sponsored by Sen. Jim Rausch, R-Derry, Senate Transportation Committee chairman, will be introduced in the 2014 session to raise the gas tax 4.5 cents, which would raise $32 million a year for highways.
"I continue to oppose a gas tax increase," he said. "It hurts the people who can least afford it."
Clement told the House Public Works and Highways Committee in fiscal year 2016, the state's 13 bridge maintenance crews, which repair the majority of the state's red-listed bridges, would have to be reduced to seven.
Patrick McKenna, the department's Director of Finance, said the 300-member engineering staff, which designs and inspects federal projects, will be cut in half.
Over the past few years, the state's highway fund has been boosted from the "sale" of the I-95 high level bridge between Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine to the Turnpike system, which has about $30 million a year.
He said ideally the state should be paving 500 miles of roads a year so that all the state's roads will be repaved every 10 years, but instead about 300 miles of roads are repaved a year, making it a 15-year cycle.
"We've been doing less with less," Clement said.
Although he assumes the federal highway department will provide the $150 million a year it currently provides, Clement said, that is uncertain. In the past, the authorization would be for multiple years so the state could depend on the money, but now the federal budget is funded on continuing resolutions on a year-to-year basis.

Doubles Nightclub
Doubles Nightclub
Savannah, GA 31406
Map / Directions »
Phone: 912-352-7100
10BEST Says
Dance Clubs: For an unadulterated good time dancing the night away, head to Doubles Night Club in the Quality Inn Midtown. This long-time Savannah favorite--and one of the only dance clubs outside of Downtown--draws a steady crowd of locals who like to mingle and boogie on the always-packed dance floor. The crowd tends to tip toward middle agers, so Doubles is the perfect place to go if you want to schmooze with people your own age and avoid the younger partiers who dominate the Downtown club scene. Doubles has several theme nights throughout the week, including swing on Mondays, shag on Wednesdays and dance music from the disco era through the present on Fridays and Saturdays.
Insider Tips
Local Expert Amy Pine Says:
Dance Clubs: "Be sure to check Double's Facebook page for information on specials and no cover nights."

Can you tell me a bit about your house? i guess there have been alterations made since 1841.
I think the Bradbury family worked in that cotton mill so it makes sense. So does that mean they rented it from the person they worked for?
This is fascinating.

What's Sun's view on open source J2EE?
by Steve Anglin
Related link: http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=SunInterview
TheServerSide.com's Floyd Marinescu asks, "What is Sun's point of view in the debate over whether J2EE licensing restricts open source J2EE products?" Find out about Sun's reply to this question as excerpted from this TheServerSide.com interview on J2EE with Sun's Bill Shannon, a Sun Distinguished Engineer and Spec Lead for the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, and Karen Tegan, Director of J2EE Compatibility and Platform Services for Sun Microsystems.
Marinescu: What is Sun's point of view in the debate over whether J2EE licensing restricts open source J2EE products?
Shannon: Sun participates in open source because it helps spark innovation, improve software quality, and fosters
community. The source code for the J2EE reference implementation is made available publicly as part of the Sun
Community Source Licensing program.
Sun supports open source developers because their efforts are consistent with Sun's own computing vision which uses open
standards and non-proprietary interfaces. Sun's goal is to make our software as open as possible while ensuring portability
and WORA.
Tegan: At the same time, having a strong brand and compatibility standards are important to the development of a robust
market for J2EE platform products, tools, and components. The J2EE Compatible brand has achieved significant momentum
over the past two years, and we want to make sure that any open source efforts don't impact the viability of that
What do you think?

New York hip hop DJ Jay Smooth told viewers of BET's "Don't Sleep!" on Wednesday night that just because the presidential election is over doesn't mean they can sit down and chill out.
Thanks to marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado, Smooth said that now is the time for President Barack Obama's biggest supporters to urge him to "be cool" with the states laws and allow the industry to flourish.
"Obvious jokes aside, this really is a vital issue even if you, like me, don't partake of that sacred herb," he said. "We should all care about ending these marijuana laws that have criminalized a generation of black and brown youths and wasted billions of dollars that could go into education for our kids, instead of mass incarceration."
"And that's why, now that we've felt the high of another Obama victory, I think that we ought to have the munchies for some justice," he concluded. "Now that we came out once again to help President Obama say, 'Yes we can,' I think it's time we should ask him to join us in saying, 'Puff, puff pass.'"
President Obama has said in the past that he favors decriminalization strategies that free up police resources and don't trigger an automatic arrest for small time offenders. Despite that nuance, he's consistently opposed legalization, but the Department of Justice still hasn't said how it will react to the new laws in Colorado and Washington.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said last month that more than 757,000 people were arrested in the U.S. in 2011 for marijuana-related offenses, an overwhelming majority of them for simple possession. In all, America's drug war netted 1.5 million arrests overall last year, amounting to roughly one arrest every 42 seconds.
This video is from BET's "Don't Sleep!" broadcast Wednesday, November 14, 2012.

Congratulations to all the winners of the JewishPress.com raffle at The Event
There is an urgency in the two Torah commandments whose obligation is constant and ever-present: to learn Torah and to repent. The Torah is clear about this urgency in the Shema: "These words, which I command you this day, make them as a sign upon your heart and between your eyes "
Our Sages comment that the word hayom, "this day," means "the Torah should be ever fresh in your mind, as though you received the Torah today." As for the duty to repent, Rambam teaches, "A man should always regard himself as if his death were imminent and he might die this very hour, while still in a state of sin. He should therefore repent of his sins immediately and not say, 'When I grow old I shall repent,' for he may die before he becomes old."
This matter of days and Torah is fresh in our minds as we conclude Sefirat Ha'Omer and anticipate the coming of Shavuot, for what more concrete example of the importance of Torah and the power of days than the counting down from the end of Pesach to the Chag Mattan Torah?
Yet despite our celebration of the revelation at Sinai, the chag is not named in the Torah. How can we not be intrigued by this omission of the name of the day toward which we ultimately count – Chag Shavuot – or better yet Chag Mattan Torah, the holiday of the giving of the Torah?
"And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Sabbath, from the day-you brought the sheaf of wave-offering, seven complete Sabbaths: Even unto the morrow of theseventh Sabbath You shall count fifty days . . ."
Why not simply inform us to count toward the significant date of Mattan Torah? Why doesn't the Torah find it important to communicate that this counting is not merely related to Pesach, but rather that this day on which we received the Torah is worthy in its own right?
The Talmud considers Shavuot to be the culmination of Pesach, not a chag in its own right. Does this diminish the power of that day at Sinai? Not at all. It is simply that the commemoration of the giving of the Torah must not be limited to a particular time. It applies at all times. This day is each and every day. As it is written, "This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments."
Every day is Yom Mattan Torah. Every day the excitement, enthusiasm, and vigor of being a committed and learned Jew must be renewed and reinforced. It is with this understanding that the Keli Yakar found significance in the Torah's use of the phrase Vehikravtem mincha chadasha – "and you shall offer a new offering" – in regard to Shavuot. Each and every day the Torah must be received anew, just as if it were received from Sinai each and every day.
The joy and satisfaction of Torah study must not be limited to special days or occasions. It is to be ongoing, continually renewed and continually renewing. Torah study must always spiritually excite and emotionally uplift. It is for this reason the Keli Yakar says the same enthusiasm and ecstasy that occurred at the Revelation at Sinai must be searched for and found every day.
The Keli Yakar posits the same rationale for the Torah's omission of the name Rosh Hashanah and its direct association with din and repentance. Should a man sin all year round and think of repenting only as he comes closer to Yom Hadin, when God sits in judgment? No. Rather, he should imagine that God sits in judgment recording his deeds every day. If he can think this way, he will continually engage in repentance.
Analysis, reflection, and introspection must be an everyday experience. For the thoughtful Jew every day is a Yom Mattan Torah and Yom Hadin. Such an attitude might also help us understand Lag B'Omer, the thirty-third day of the counting of the Omer when, according to the Talmud, the plague that caused the death of 24,000 disciples of Rabbi Akiva ended.
Some 24,000 brilliant young scholars – lost! Our Sages ask why so many died. According to Talmudic and midrashic sources, they died because they did not sufficiently respect one another. Their scholarship, Torah learning, and erudition were taken for granted. For them, Torah learning was pursued as any other knowledge, without an excitement, enthusiasm, and fire resulting in new insights, renewed motivation, and novel ideas. They reveled in their Torah brilliance rather than the brilliance of Torah.
Lag B'Omer came to be known as "Scholar's Festival" to remind those who devote themselves exclusively to the pursuit of Torah learning that there is more to Torah learning than book knowledge and text absorption. Torah learning encompasses love and devotion for fellow students, an excitement for the Divine word, growing sensitivity and feelings emanating from the subject being studied, a reaction to learning Torah that is to be likened to that of Mattan Torah.
The Ramban notes that when the Torah communicates the observance of Shavuot, it makes use of a phrase found only once more in the Torah, in regard to Yom Kippur – "And you shall proclaim on this very day (b'etzem hayom hazeh) a holy convocation ." This call to observe Shavuot is the same call to refrain from work on Yom Kippur – "and you shall do no manner of work b'etzem hayom hazeh, on this very day."
Why are both Shavuot and Yom Kippur referred to as "this very day"?
Who would ever question or doubt the unique and unequaled features of Yom Kippur? Affliction of the soul, abstention from physical pleasures, consecration of the day – all are powerfully evident. Who could ever confuse Yom Kippur with any other day in the calendar?
Yom Kippur is such a powerful spiritual presence that its spiritual effects must linger on b'etzem hayom hazeh, every day.
A chassidic master taught that the blowing of the shofar at Neilah is simply a signal to begin preparing anew for the coming Yom Kippur, to count every subsequent day as hayom hazeh.
The same must be true of the effect of Shavuot, on this very day, every day.
The charge to make each day of learning like Yom Mattan Torah rests not only with students but with their teachers as well. Everyone involved in teaching Torah would do well to reflect and ask: Am I seeking new methods and exciting approaches for our Torah presentations? Am I creative and innovative in my Torah methodology and curriculum?
It is incumbent on students to learn. It is incumbent on teachers to teach as we want our students to learn. The goal of effective Torah education must be to attempt to make each day, every day, a unique and special experience for studentsso that they leave our classrooms as our forefathers departed from Sinai – awed and inspired.
The Midrash in Tanchuma (Ki Tavo) sums it up: What is meant by "this day"? Had the Holy One, blessed be He, not ordained these precepts for Israel till now? Surely the year in which this verse was stated was the fortieth? Why does the Scripture therefore state: "this day"? This is what Moses meant when he addressed Israel: "Every day let the Torah be as dear to you as if you had received it this day from Mount Sinai."

"Fulfill my requests for good, grant my request, be mindful of us for deliverance and compassion…remember us for a good, long life…give us bread to eat, clothes to wear…"
Too often, as parents and teachers, we think it means talking at our children, delivering to them good and worthy content that they should simply hear and assimilate into their minds and hearts.
I was singing, dancing, jumping and, sweating. Just joy and happiness. One child on my shoulders after another. What happiness! And then, the little boy on my shoulders – he could not have been older than six – began to cry.
The only way for children to find a way back to the path is through parental love and understanding.
