thank you so much for this wonderful freebie! I love it so much and going to use this template to send out my christmas card to all my friends (who are non-bloggers and yet to know about photo-greeting card..). Haven't keep in-touch with them eversince baby comes along. It is superb idea to send pic of me and baby to them for a quick update.
Once again, I want to thank you for being such a kind, warm-hearted, gifted and loving person.
warm hugs, Heaney.

Those are great Summer! Thank you for sharing!
I was wondering, are we allowed to create cards like these with your kits and offer the completed card as a freebie on our blogs?
I'd love to do so on my blog! Please let me know.

Cap Creations ~ Great question, and you are not the first to ask! Yes, you are more then welcome to use my papers/elements to create holiday cards and offer them for free. If, you happen to want to do it for a business and have people pay you to create their cards, then you would need to purchase a Commercial License Agreement ($20 for the use of ONE kit, $100 for the use of ALL kits). ~Summer

Thanks for sharing these beautiful Christmas Card templates!

Thanks for the info Summer! I hope to get some freebie cards up soon then! I'll let you know when they are up. In-case you care to have a look.
Will definitely remember your license agreement if I ever decide to sell. Not much time for that though just yet.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your kits by the way! Thanks again!

Oh- one question since I am kind of new at this- how do you order cards with your own design on them at Costco (6X8) and have them come with the envelopes?
- November 19, 2010 at 9:13 AM
- Summer said...
Stephenie...welcome to the candy shop! :) And to those who want to order the Costco greeting cards (which is a 6x7.5 size), just log in to Costco.com find their photo department, sign in (you have to have a Costco membership to do this). Then you upload your image. Once the image is uploaded, on the right side look for "create gifts". From there click on "6x7 1/2 photo greeting cards". Then click "create". Find the word "more" and scroll down to the very bottom where it says "custom template". From there you should be able to locate the photo card that you had uploaded at the beginning. First, make sure your orientation is right (vertical or horizontal) and then click on your card. It should be pretty easy after that! ~Summer

Wesleyan avenged a pair of setbacks to Mayville St. the previous day by getting timely hitting from Jon Sheehan '11 (photo) to sweep a double-header in Arizona Mon., March 14, by scores of 10-9 in eight innings and 7-5. The Cardinals improved to 8-5 on the year and have a couple of days off before facing Macalester in a twin bill Thurs., March 17, then finishing up against Concordia (Wisc.) with a single game Fri., March 18.
Batting with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 8th in the first game vs. Mayville, Sheehan chopped a single over third base against a pulled-in infield to drive in David Skura '12 with the winning run. Skura had walked after a Joe Giaimo '11 double, and Ryan Coffey '11 followed with an infield hit to fill the sacks. Mayville cut down Giaimo at home on a fielder's choice grounder but Sheehan delivered the winner, as Wesleyan rallied from an 8-5 deficit heading into the bottom of the 6th. The Cardinals scored four runs in the frame to snag a 9-8 lead as Julian Sonnenfeld '11 and Skura had RBI grounders, sandwiching a two-run single by Alex Meadow '12. Mayville tied the game in the top of the 7th with its only run off reliever Jimmy Hill '14, who got the win by giving up just five hits and one unearned run in six innings of work with five Ks.
In the nightcap, the teams were tied 5-5 heading into the top of the 6th. Sheehan pounded a one-out double to plate Mike Barsotti '12 with an unearned run for a 6-5 lead, then scored the seventh run, also unearned, on the second error of the inning by the Comets. Reliever Jeff Blout '14 finished off his 3.2 innings of hitless pitching by striking out five of the last seven batters he faced in picking up the victory.
Over the double-header, Giaimo connected for five hits in nine at-bats while Kyle Weiss '12 went 4-for-6 at the plate, accouting for nine of the Cardinals' 22 hits on the day. Wesleyan is now hitting .385 as a team whole averaging 10 runs a contest. Chris Bonti '13 (.500), Weiss (.471), Giaimo (.458) and Justin Freres '11 (.405) all hit better than the team's average. Hill leads the pitching staff with his 2.92 ERA and 2-0 record while Blout paces the staff with 16 strikeouts in 10 innings of work.
Splitting the double-header with Macalster, Wesleyan rolled to a 13-1 victory in the opener behind the pitching of Brett Yarusi '12, as he allowed just five hits and one earned run over seven inings in the complete-game effort. He improved to 2-0 with a 3.75 ERA. Wesleyan struck for eight runs in the 1st inning and never looked back. Big hits in the frame were a two-run single by Giaimo and a bases-loaded triple by Weiss. Weiss went 3-for-4 in the contest as did Sonnenfeld. Five of the Cardinals' 13 hits were for extra bases. Wesleyan fell in the second game, 16-3. The Cards cut a 5-0 deficit to 5-3 in the 3rd with three unearned runs. Giaimo was a key to the rally with a run-scoring double and he scored himself from third on a throw to second in an attempt to nail Bonti on a stolen-base attempt. But Macalester racked up 14 hits off four Cardinal hurlers and wrapped up the triumph with a seven-run 6th inning while getting a complete game from its starter. Giaimo, Bonti and Terence Farina '14 were good for two hits each in the game.
During the final game of the excursion, the Cardinals found themselves down, 5-0, before coming to bat for the first time. Wesleyan scored seven of the next eight runs to seize a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the 4th. Meadow drove in the go-ahead run with a groundout. Meadow and Freres had run-scoring singles during a four-run 3rd inning which was capped by a two-run double by Jake Skinner '14, making his first start at DH. But Concordia evened the score in the top of the 5th and after three scoreless innings by each side, took the lead for good with an unearned run in the top of the 9th. It held up for an 8-7 decision.
Cumulative stats for the 16-game trip show Bonti leading the way with a .510 batting average, followed by Giaimo with a .455 mark. Weiss is right behind, swinging at a .452 clip. Sonnenfeld, with a pair of doubles in the final game, has a .390 average and team-leading .712 slugging percentage among the regulars. Seven Cardinals have double-digit RBI, paced by Giaimo with 20.
Wesleyan was to open the northern slate Thurs., March 24, hosting Coast Guard in their annual battle. Unplayable field conditions forced the contest to be postponed with the makeup date TBA. As a result, Wesleyan will begin its northern play Sat., March 26 in a double-header at Rutgers-Newark.

Looking only at championships, Phil Jackson clearly would be the No. 1 coach today in pro sports.

Much of my three-decade plus career in chiropractic as a non-DC has been spent giving new meanings to some of the more unhelpful patient behaviors that chiropractors encounter. The underlying theme has been patient education, which morphed into managing patient beliefs. (I regularly assert at speaking gigs that if you have any hope in attracting a tribe of cash-paying practice members, you're actually in the belief-changing business, not the pain relief business or the spinal curve restoration business!)
More recently my attention has turned to the dynamics surrounding disembodiment. In other words, how "connected" are patients to their bodies? Can they detect subtle changes that warn of the need to make change? Or do symptoms need to be full blown before they can "hear" their body speak to them?
I've suspected that there was another facet that explained why chiropractic, despite its common sense basis and side-effect-free success, is unable to gain acceptance, traction and critical mass. I think I've put my finger on it. Tell me if you agree.
Chiropractic may be too expensive. Not in the financial sense, but in the obligation to assume self-responsibility sense.
If you successfully avoid the temptation of practicing chiropractic medicine (using adjustments to treat symptoms), then you probably explain to patients that they're the doctor, they do the healing, you have no idea how they will respond to care, if or when they can expect results (even though you have some general estimates) and that the speed of their recovery is largely out of your hands.
Frankly, most people would rather take a pill.
At least when you take a pill, like millions do, you don't have to think and you don't have to take the enormous risk of being an outlier to the wisdom of the herd.
See why chiropractic is so expensive (unattractive)?
Some chiropractors try to soften this by investing themselves in the patient's recovery. They feel defensive when patients reveal their displeasure with the speed of their recovery. They allow a raised eyebrow or some other cue (the car they drive, their last name, what part of town they live in, etc.) to change their clinical recommendations.
Chiropractic care places many demands on patients that the mainstream allopathic model doesn't. Simply consulting a non-mainstream healer like you raises countless issues. "What will my friends think?" 'What if my MD finds out?" "What if it's just a scam?" "What if it doesn't work?" "Will my insurance cover it?" "I'm not sure who to trust."
Over the years, several studies amongst chiropractic patients suggest that they're generally a more educated bunch. Which stands to reason. Chiropractic appeals to those willing to engage in some critical thinking—something that most people stop doing in their teens and find far more taxing than passively watching television or being a voyeur to Charlie Sheen's career or Lindsay Lohan's latest meltdown.
Who is most likely to make a great chiropractic practice member? Someone willing to question the status quo, who is in touch with his or her body and willing to take personal responsibility for its condition and longevity. In other words, sadly, not very many people.
Perhaps this is why so many chiropractors have chosen the path of least resistance, bowing to patient pressure and practicing chiropractic medicine. As in "treating" the patient's symptoms. As in going into the "treatment" room. As in using adjustments to relieve [enter symptom here]--the practice of medicine.
Practicing chiropractic is difficult. It requires unwavering focus to avoid succumbing to a patient's allopathic worldview. It demands high levels of confidence to ward off the relentless inroads made by drug manufacturers, skeptics and cynics.
Don't be bummed out! Having clarity about this subject should set you free. Because it's not you. Or your technique. Or procedure. Or location. Or fees. It's that, for many people, chiropractic requires assuming far too much personal responsibility. Which, incidentally, isn't something you can change by a persuasive report or a charming tableside manner!
So, while those who are available to pay the high price of personal responsibility may be modest in number, I bet there are enough of them in your community to populate a thriving practice. Unfortunately, they think you're a back doctor. So you'll want to acquaint them with the truth about chiropractic. Which brings us back to the subject of patient education.
If you have a better explanation why chiropractic hasn't assumed its rightful place after over a century of incredibly consistent, side-effect-free results, please let me know.

Hydroelectric Dams = Filthy CO2 Pumps
February 25th, 2005 | researchmaterial
Contrary to popular belief, hydroelectric power can seriously damage the climate. Proposed changes to the way countries' climate budgets are calculated aim to take greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs into account, but some experts worry that they will not go far enough.
The green image of hydro power as a benign alternative to fossil fuels is false, says Eric Duchemin, a consultant for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). "Everyone thinks hydro is very clean, but this is not the case," he says.
Hydroelectric dams produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane, and in some cases produce more of these greenhouse gases than power plants running on fossil fuels…

Some of the last people to see Jaliek Rainwalker, 12, before he disappeared were Elaine and Tom Person. After Jaliek made threatening remarks to a young child at home his adoptive parents Stephen Kerr and Joceyln McDonald, sent him to stay with the Person's for six days. When adoptive parents have needed help, the Persons provide a respite home. For the first time, they're talking publicly about what they think happened to Jaliek.
"One of the things Jaliek said, in talking about his father, he said when he got mad, he (Stephen) didn't know what he was doing," said Person.
The Person's acknowledged Jaliek's psychological issues and violent outbursts, but they say they fell in love with him when they met him five years ago.
"He was beautiful, sweet, charming and intelligent and while he was with us, he was very well behaved," said Person.
"He was great with me. He appreciated everything, like driving in the front seat and I even let him have controls of the music. Boy was he happy. He loved music," said Tom Person.
Steven Kerr was in Albany last weekend posting a reward for Jaliek, saying he thought it was possible Jaliek ran away with some older teenagers. The Persons say they do not believe Jaliek is with an Albany gang. They also say they don't believe he would commit suicide because he was looking forward to staying with them again and that on the next visit Tom was going to bring Jaliek to look at skateboards.
"How can a child I haven't seen for five years, I say to myself, I've had him six days. Just how come it hurts so much? It really bothers me. It was just six days I spent. I hadn't seen him in five years and he reached me. This was a special kid," said Person.

text: What a day. It started out by me and Tracey bored .. sitting in the common room doing nothing. So we decided to go to Hogsmeade. Well, as we were leaving we saw Justin screaming at the Fat Lady to let him in. Pretty funny. He was shouting Hermione Hermione! And finally Hermione came out.I guess everyone went to Hogsmeade today for some last-minute Christmas shopping. It was crowded! I went with Tracey, there was so many people there from Hogswarts. I saw Ginny, Justin, Hermione and Ron. First Tracey and I went inside this clothing shop. We each bought each other Christmas presents. Then we went into a dress robe shop and saw Ginny. We talked to her for a while, even offered her to come with us to get some butterbeer. But she refused, oh well. After a while, we headed back to Hogswarts .. and that's where I am right now.

For many people, dry hands in the winter can be a real problem. The lack of moisture in the air combined with the drying heat can take a toll on the hands. Add in all the alcohol-based hand sanitizers being used to prevent colds and flu's, and it really makes for rough, cracking dry hands. Here's my tip for keeping hands soft and moist all winter long.
#1 Wear gloves whenever possible. Not only does it help protect your skin from the dry elements of the air, but also when worn in public places, there is no need for the use of hand sanitizers as your hands are already protected. (See the winter gloves I got as a Christmas present that allow me to protect my hands while still being able to use my touch screen phone!)
Also, be sure to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes and always keep hand lotion by your sink, so it's conveniently located right at your fingertips.
#2 Exfoliate using with glycolic acid. Don't think exfoliation is exclusively for the face. Your hands could also benefit from removing dry skin cells. Two nights a week I like to exfoliate my hands by mixing a few drops of AHA Smoothing Serum 20% in with hand lotion. It turns the lotion into an exfoliating lotion and really, really helps to keep my hands baby soft and moist…
#3 Keep hand lotion in your bag and use throughout the day. Keeping lotion on the hands throughout the day is essential, especially after washing your hands when the water tends to be drawn out of the skin into the dry air. Apply at least twice during the day.
#4 Moisturize and sleep with cotton gloves. Applying a good moisturizer to the hands before sleeping is a must in the winter, but sleeping with cotton gloves can really repair dry, cracked hands. I know it's not always practical to sleep with gloves, but even if you can do it once a week, it will really make a difference.
Read my secret for relieving dry, cracked heels.
5) Use a humidifier in your bedroom at night. To best prevent dry skin, it's important to keep moisture in the air. The nightly use of a humidifier helps you do just that. Keep it in the place where you spend the most time – your bedroom. By keeping moisture in the air, you can keep it in your skin as well.

If we'd discovered this site last month, we would have saved $1500 and lots of aggravation...The grounds are nice, and we liked the way the cabin was arranged around the edge of a little garden-type thing...The front porch was nice...But inside, it was dirty and shabby...Some of the blinds were missing or broken...The chairs were stained...The toliet paper roll thingie was missing...The panelling is cheap and bowed and has holes where the doorknobs crashed in...There's only one mirror in the whole place- - - in the bathroom...How are you supposed to get dressed without a mirror in the bedroom?...Our son can barely talk yet but even he pointed to the rug and said "dirty!"...The grounds are PITCH BLACK at night and very dangerous!!...We mentioned some of this to the girl in the office and one of the maids, but they just stared at us like we were idiots...Save your money...This place looks like it's seen better days, so go someplace with better standards...The bones are there, but it looks like the management doesn't care about anything.

Our cabin was 41495 for the week. Compared to other places that seemed okay until we got there. Negatives: Our sofa was broken and dirty. The chairs had stains and we wouldn't let our kids sit anywhere until we coveredd the furniture with towels. There were big spots on the carpet. All the doors had filthy hand prints all over them. There weren't nearly enough pots and pans or utensils. Everything in the cupboards was greasy. We had to practically beg for extra toilet paper or tissues. Our dirty towels weren't picked up for days on end. The cottage was full of bugs and my 6 year old got bitten by spiders. The pool is HOT! Not just heated, not just warm- - - it's actually HOT! The store at the place seemed to close around lunch time each day and nothing was open at night ever. The beach is down a long hill and there are keep out and no trespassing signs everywhere down there. Only a couple of stupid plastic chairs too. Positives: The setting of the cottage is attractive. They're all grouped around a center grassy area with barbecues for each unit. My kids liked playing there. The playground is nice. The trolley stops out front. The other guests seemed friendly.

The pool doesn't have enough chaises. The towels are the size of washcloths and they're thin and stained. The mattress was hard as a rock. You have to walk to the beach, but when you get there, you find out there's a parking lot down there for those places. Maybe if your staying in one of the lakefront rooms, it would be nicer, but otherwise, the place is gross and boring. My boyfriend tried to fish off the dock and he got yelled at. Heloooooo? Lighten up, people!

We wish we had seen these reviews before we booked our cottage. The grounds and trees are quite splendid, and the sights and sounds of nature are soothing. It's a lovely area, but the resort itself is nothing to write home about. Our cottage had stains on the rug and mismatched curtains. You can't open the windows without getting the valences trapped. The furniture is covered with peeling contact paper and the overall feeling is one of tacky cheapness. The stove was greasy and the kitchen was very poorly supplied. We asked for an extra pillow and the lady said they didn't have any. What kind of heotel doesn't have any extra pillows? Next year, we'll try Bolton Landing, because that area was recommended to us. We liked the area, but this resort didn't meet any of our expectations.

Having searched online for a family cabin in this area, we felt confident trying Clinton Inn. Their web site looked lovely and their prices seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, the pictures must have been airbrushed to take the squalor out. We were travelling with another couple, and one main reason we all booked this place was because of the on-site restaurant and cocktail lounge. Unfortunately, they're not open at night. If we ever return to the area, we'll stay someplace nicer and cleaner. I wish we had seen these reviews before we wasted our hard-earned money! Do yourself a favor, and read ours!

Since I was a kid, my family has travelled up from the city for the August meet at Saratoga. This year, my wife and i booked a cabin at this place, but it was a disaster from beginning to end. They advertise a restaurant and cocktail lounge, but they only serve b-fast and lunch. The bar isn't ever open. They advertise a playground, but it had police tape all over it. My boys were bummed. The beach looks nice, but its down a long hill and its too hard to walk with little kids and all the toys. The pool was okay. We agree with evrybody else!!! Our cabin was dirty and the furniture was falling apart. The rugs had HUGE stains on them, and none of the curtains matched. Some of the miniblinds were missing, and the others were an inch thinck with dust.

My boyfriend and I and his sister and her baby son all went in on a housekeeping cabin for a week. We were pretty disappointed by how shabby this place was, although the pool was nice. There weren't enough chairs on the beach, and its way too long to walk, considering you have to lug your cooler and fishing stuff and baby toys and all. It looks like there's another hotel right down at the lake, but we couldn't get any info on that, because the girl in the office wasn't very helpful. She said that was the owner's house, but she must of meant someplace else. The place down at the beach looks like it has 10 rooms. Our cabin was pretty beat up, and it wasn't too clean. The area itself is pretty, so we'd like to go back maybe next summer, but we'll book somewhere nicer.

My husband, 2 year old daughter and I just returned from this place. We booked a housekeeping cabin based on what we saw online. When we got there, we were shcoked at the conditioms, but they said they had no other units to put us in. We called around, but all the resorts were full. Our cabin (#5) had a big hole in the wall, and lots of stains all over the floor. The sofa was broken in two, in additon to being old and really dirty. The price was $1395, and it was a total rip-off! Save your money unless you like living in a dump!!

My husband and I stayed here in late June in a housekeeping unit. We thought the place was very dirty and gross, but we had nothing to compare it to, since it was our first time in a rustic cabin. I'm so glad to read that everyone else thought the place was filthy too! The pool was nice and the lake was pretty, but the water was pretty cold. (I realize that that has nothing to do with the place itself!) We would have spent more time down at the beach just vegging, but there were no chairs and it was a very long and harsh walk back up! We had breakfast one morning at the restaurant, and that was good. We would have liked to try dinner, but it was closed. The store on the property had funky hours too, but there's a handy deli (Ray's) right next door that you can walk to. We'd like to go back to the Lake George area in the future, but we'll definitely get a nicer and cleaner place!

I was in the area to attend a wedding, so I only stayed for the weekend in a hotel unit. It was ok, but very bare bones and kinda shabby for the price. The ice machine was broken, too. When I reported that, the girl in the office got very snippy. (I wasn't asking her to fix it for me; I was only informing her in case she didn't know!). It was all right, but way overpriced. By the way, I talked to some people at the pool, and they said their place was dirty, so maybe the cabins are dirtier than the hotel rooms? Just a thought....

Chapter 118
|1. Give thanks to the Lord because He is good, for His kindness is eternal.
|א. הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:
|Give thanks to the Lord, etc.:
|2. Israel shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
|ב. יֹאמַר נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:
|Israel shall now say: because His kindness is eternal.
|3. The house of Aaron shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
|ג. יֹאמְרוּ נָא בֵּית אַהֲרֹן כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:
|4. Those who fear the Lord shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
|ד. יֹאמְרוּ נָא יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:
|Those who fear the Lord: These are the Levites, about whom it is written (Exod. 32:26): "Whoever is the Lord's, let him come to me! And all the sons of Levi gathered around him," in the episode of the [Golden] Calf, and they fought with Israel when they said (Num. 14:4), "Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt."
|5. From the straits I called God; God answered me with a vast expanse.
|ה. מִן הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָּהּ עָנָנִי בַּמֶּרְחָב יָהּ:
|6. The Lord is for me; I shall not fear. What can man do to me?
|ו. יְהֹוָה לִי לֹא אִירָא מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָם:
|7. The Lord is for me with my helpers, and I shall see [revenge] in my enemies.
|ז. יְהֹוָה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי וַאֲנִי אֶרְאֶה בְשֹׂנְאָי:
|8. It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in man.
|ח. טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בָּאָדָם:
|It is better to take shelter in the Lord: Heb. לחסות. This shelter (חסיון) is only an expression of the shelter of a shadow, a small thing. Trust (מבטח) is a stout and strong support. Nevertheless, to take shelter in the Lord is better than the promises of human beings.
|9. It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in princes.
|ט. טוֹב לַחֲסוֹת בַּיהֹוָה מִבְּטֹחַ בִּנְדִיבִים:
|10. All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
|י. כָּל גּוֹיִם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַם:
|All nations surrounded me: This speaks about the war of Gog and Magog, when all the nations will be there, as it is said (Zech. 14:2): "And I shall gather all the nations to Jerusalem to wage war."
|I shall cut them off: Heb. אמלים, I shall cut them off, an expression of (above 90:6): "it is cut off (ימולל) and withers."
|11. They encircled me, yea they surrounded me; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
|יא. סַבּוּנִי גַם סְבָבוּנִי בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַם:
|12. They encircled me like bees; they were extinguished like a thorn fire; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
|יב. סַבּוּנִי כִדְבֹרִים דֹּעֲכוּ כְּאֵשׁ קוֹצִים בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי אֲמִילַם:
|they were extinguished like a thorn fire: Every expression of דעיכה coincides with an expression of springing and skipping. It hastens to spring and skip from its place. Therefore, it fits with an expression of fire or with an expression of water, like (Job 6:17): "they jump (נדעכו) from their place." Similarly (Job 17:1), "my days flicker (נדעכו) " ; similarly (Job 18:6), "and his candle that is over him shall go out (ידעך)," in the way that the flame springs from the wick and ascends upward when it is extinguished.
|13. You pushed me to fall, but the Lord helped me.
|יג. דָּחֹה דְחִיתַנִי לִנְפֹּל וַיהֹוָה עֲזָרָנִי:
|You pushed me to fall: You, my enemy.
|14. The might and the cutting power of God was my salvation.
|יד. עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה:
|The might and the cutting power of God was my salvation: Heb. עזי וזמרת, the might of the Holy One, blessed be He, was my salvation. עזי has a superfluous "yud" because we do not [usually] find עזי vowelized with a short "kamatz" instead of a "shuruk," except in three places, where it is next to וזמרת, and perforce is attached to the word denoting the name of God. You cannot explain it as "my praise." Do not wonder about ויהי לי, that he did not say היה לי לישועה, for there are many like these in Scripture, [e.g.] (Exod. 9:21): "And whoever did not pay attention… left (ויעזב) his slaves, etc." He should have written עַזָב.
|15. A voice of singing praises and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly.
|טו. קוֹל | רִנָּה וִישׁוּעָה בְּאָהֳלֵי צַדִּיקִים יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָיִל:
|A voice of singing praises and salvation: will in the future be in the tents of the righteous, and what is that voice of singing praises? "The right hand of the Lord deals valiantly." They will sing, "The right hand of the Lord is exalted, etc."
|16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly.
|טז. יְמִין יְהֹוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהֹוָה עֹשָׂה חָיִל:
|The right hand of the Lord is exalted: The Midrash Aggadah states: The Holy One, blessed be He, created the celestial beings with His right hand; therefore, death has no power over them; as it says (Isa. 48:13): "Even my hand laid the foundation of the earth." This is the left hand. "And My right hand measured the heavens with handbreadths." This is the right hand. Similarly, the Psalmist says: "The right hand of the Lord is exalted," that created those [that are] in the heights of the world. That is the right hand of the Lord that will make armies of righteous men in the future, and also with it [the right hand] He will resurrect them and they will live forever. And then, I shall not die, but I shall live forever.
|17. I shall not die but I shall live and tell the deeds of God.
|יז. לֹא אָמוּת כִּי אֶחְיֶה וַאֲסַפֵּר מַעֲשֵׂי יָהּ:
|I shall not die: I, the congregation of Israel, [shall not die] like the other peoples an eternal death, but I shall live, etc.
|18. God has chastised me, but He has not delivered me to death.
|יח. יַסֹּר יִסְּרַנִּי יָּהּ וְלַמָּוֶת לֹא נְתָנָנִי:
|God has chastised me: in exile, and there all my iniquities were expiated, and You did not deliver me to death.
|19. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter them and thank God.
|יט. פִּתְחוּ לִי שַׁעֲרֵי צֶדֶק אָבֹא בָם אוֹדֶה יָהּ:
|Open for me the gates of righteousness: And these are the gates of righteousness.
|20. This is the Lord's gate; the righteous will enter therein.
|כ. זֶה הַשַּׁעַר לַיהֹוָה צַדִּיקִים יָבֹאוּ בוֹ:
|This is the… gate: of the Temple, which is the Lord's, and the righteous will enter therein and there…
|21. I shall thank You because You answered me, and You were my salvation.
|כא. אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי וַתְּהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה:
|I shall thank You because You answered me: from the exile.
|22. The stone that the builders rejected became a cornerstone.
|כב. אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּה:
|The stone that the builders rejected: A people that was humble among the peoples.
|23. This was from the Lord; it is wondrous in our eyes.
|כג. מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵינוּ:
|This was from the Lord: So will everyone say.
|24. This is the day that the Lord made; we shall exult and rejoice thereon.
|כד. זֶה הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בוֹ:
|25. Please, O Lord, save now! Please, O Lord, make prosperous now!
|כה. אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא אָנָּא יְהֹוָה הַצְלִיחָה נָּא:
|26. Blessed be he who has come in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
|כו. בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה בֵּרַכְנוּכֶם מִבֵּית יְהֹוָה:
|Blessed be he who has come in the name of the Lord: They will say to those who bring the first fruits and to those who perform the pilgrimages.
|we have blessed you: we have blessed you.
|27. The Lord is God, and He gave us light. Bind the sacrifice with ropes until [it is brought to] the corners of the altar.
|כז. אֵל | יְהֹוָה וַיָּאֶר לָנוּ אִסְרוּ חַג בַּעֲבֹתִים עַד קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ:
|Bind the sacrifice with ropes: The sacrifices and the festival offerings, which were clean and examined for a blemish, they would bind to the feet of their beds until they brought them to the Temple court at the corners of the altar. It is also possible to interpret the entire end of this psalm from (verse 17), "I shall not die but I shall live," as referring to David himself: [18]
|God has chastised me: For the episode of Bath sheba with torments, e.g. (II Sam. 12:6): "And the ewe-lamb he shall repay fourfold." David was stricken with zaraath for six months.
|but He has not delivered me to death: (II Sam. 13) "Also the Lord has removed your sin; you shall not die." [19]
|Open for me the gates of righteousness: And these are the gates of righteousnessthose gates of synagogues and study halls, which are the Lord'sand the righteous enter through them. [21]
|I shall thank You because You have answered me: From here on, David, Samuel, Jesse, and David's brothers recited this, as is delineated in [the chapter entitled] "The eves of Passovers," (Pes. 119a). He who said this did not say the other.
|28. You are my God and I shall thank You; the God of my father, and I shall exalt You.
|כח. אֵלִי אַתָּה וְאוֹדֶךָּ אֱלֹהַי אֲרוֹמְמֶךָּ:
|29. Give thanks to the Lord because He is good, for His kindness is eternal.
|כט. הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:30AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is famous for refusing to let a good crisis go to waste.
But he's managed to outdo himself in the days since the Newtown shooting with his full-throttle effort to push through new gun-control measures and to rein in recalcitrant gun makers and lobbyists.
He's pushing gun-control legislation at the federal, state and local level, while also launching an aggressive national campaign to beat into submission companies that make and sell assault weapons.
His latest is a call for U.S. mayors to sever ties with companies that manufacture or sell assault weapons, pitching the idea at a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington over inauguration weekend. He has asked the city's five pension funds and sister agencies like the CTA to do the same. Two funds already have moved to divest.
Then, on Thursday, Emanuel contacted two major banks that provide lines of credit to two gun manufacturers, urging them to "use their influence" to get the companies to support President Obama's gun-control agenda.
Emanuel has the moral high ground here, and we're with him. But not without adding a big dollop of caution.
Divestment is intrinsically appealing — how can city pension funds in good conscious invest in gun companies that then turn around and use those same dollars to fight the gun-control measures that big-city mayors desperately want?
Emanuel is tapping into a profound moral inconsistency and others are already on board, including retirements system in New York State and California. The mayors of Los Angeles and Philadelphia also are moving to divest their city pension funds.
But no one should kid themselves about the limits and perils of divestment, which have become apparent over the years as pension funds have sold off stocks tied to noxious regimes such as those in Sudan, Iran and South Africa, and in companies that sell products such as tobacco or alcohol.
The power of these efforts is largely symbolic, a crucial part of the campaign to change hearts and minds. In the case of assault weapons, the goal is to change the conversation, to tip the scales in favor of a culture that rejects military-style guns and ammunition in American homes and streets.
But has divestment so far made an impact on the bottom line of targeted companies? No, says the research. That's even true in South Africa, where apartheid eventually fell. Perhaps a targeted campaign against assault weapons makers — smaller companies that may be less able to weather disinvestment — will be different. That's what Emanuel is banking on.
Meanwhile, there are real risks for public pension funds — institutions responsible for the retirements of millions. Research suggests that funds that screen out companies based on social values tend to perform just as well as unscreened portfolio. That's the good news. But there are many examples of individual funds that have been hurt by screening, according to an analysis by Alicia H. Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
Munnell and others also point out the risk of distracting already poorly managed and underfunded pension funds (you listening, Chicago and Illinois?) and of a slippery slope: Today it's guns, tomorrow Disney (that screening request was made to Virginia's retirement fund).
The bottom line: Divestment can send a powerful message and, when prudent, pension funds should go for it. Mayor Emanuel is on the right side of history.
But be careful not to lead any wobbly pension funds over the cliff.

India: The Perils of Democracy
I was taken to a temple, managed by a bankrupt businessman from Bihar. In the courtyard was a group of widows, old and young, who chanted praises to Ram. They were literally singing for their supper, for without the right to inherit, they were a burden on their families. I had been told that a powerful figure in the Vishva Hindu Parishad, or VHP, was staying at the temple. Since the VHP, a militant organization founded in 1964 to forge a unified Hindu community, had played a vital part in the Ayodhya affair, and was in effect the radical wing of the BJP, I was interested in meeting him. His name was Acharya Giriraj Kishore, the secretary general. After being thoroughly frisked by a bodyguard, I was shown into his presence.
Kishore was a small, round man, with long white hair. He lay on his bed, his pudgy hands glittering with gold. White caste marks were daubed on his forehead. The bodyguard, who wore expensive shoes and smelled of perfume, hovered around the door. I asked Kishore about the state of Indian politics. The main problem, he said, was the lack of national unity. Appeasement of the Muslims was a threat, and so was the US, which was scheming to make India fall apart, like the Soviet Union. I asked him about the Ram temple. It would be built in two years' time, he said. If not, the VHP would "agitate." I inquired what that might involve. He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while. Then, all of a sudden, he said something astonishing: "The solution to the Muslim problem is simple. The white men, the Hindus, and the Israelis must get together, and we will take care of the Muslim problem once and for all."
In fact, no one is allowed to build anything on the site of the destroyed Babri Masjid. Hindu activists of the VHP, or the paramilitary RSS, are banned from the area.7 And to avoid further trouble, the central government bought the land. Absurdly, it has been left to the High Court in Delhi to sort out who has more claim to the holy place, Hindus or Muslims. Lawyers will have to ponder whether the legendary Ram was really born there, whether there ever was a Hindu temple, and exactly what Babur did in 1528. Possibly, there never will be a verdict, which would suit the government just fine. Meanwhile worshippers are allowed to pay their respects to an idol of Ram, located in an improvised shrine on top of the demolished mosque. And hundreds of workmen in Ayodhya, paid by the VHP, are chiseling and carving away at expensive blocks of pink Rajasthani stone for a Ram temple that may never be built. "It is all political," said a local journalist, who took me around. "They want to show the Hindus that work is in progress."
At present the site is like an armed fortress. First you have to get through two police roadblocks. Then you wend your way through a steel cage, guarded by armed constabulary officers, past more check points, until you get to the shrine, which you can just see through iron bars and barbed wire. The shrine, containing Ram and Hanuman, the monkey god, is surrounded by policemen. Worshippers are told to keep moving on. No one is able to linger. A bank of ten television monitors covers every entrance. One was out of order. A monkey had bitten through the wire. I later thought of this scene when I visited the temples of democracy in Chandigarh. The irony seemed perfect: rationalism and religion, modernity and tradition, Corbu's temples and Ram's shrine, all of them under armed guard, all for political show.
And yet the neat juxtaposition would be misleading. For Hindu nationalism is as modern as Nehru's secular idea of India. In a way, Ayodhya and Chandigarh are two sides of a single coin. The most exhaustive book on Hindu nationalism is by the French scholar Christophe Jaffrelot.8 It is perhaps too exhaustive for the non-specialist, who will be overwhelmed by detail. But it is a scholarly tour de force, and Jaffrelot's argument is clear enough. Hindu nationalism is neither ancient nor religious; it is a political phenomenon which started in the 1920s, when Indian intellectuals were wrestling with ideas of the Indian nation. A key text, quoted by Jaffrelot, is V.D. Savarkar's Hindutva: Who Is a Hindu?, published in 1923. Savarkar was inspired by Mazzini, Darwin, and Herbert Spencer. But his main inspiration was fear—fear that the "weak," diverse, disunited Hindus, who lacked an ideology, a dogma, a Mecca, or a universal church, would be swamped by "strong" Muslims and Christians. This fear is still at the core of Hindu nationalism today. That is why VHP demagogues in 1992 promised to purge Ayodhya of Muslims and make it the Hindu Vatican.
Savarkar, like many European thinkers who used religion to concoct national identities, was not a pious man himself. But he thought Hindu rituals and pilgrimages were useful "from a national and racial point of view." Ram, the idol of worship in Ayodhya, is not worshiped as a deity by all Hindus. Only the Vaishnavas—the followers of Vishnu, of whom Ram is an incarnation—do so. But to Savarkar and his modern followers Ram is the symbolic king of the Hindus, the father of the nation. "Some of us," he wrote, "worship Ram as an incarnation, some admire him as a hero and a warrior, all love him as the most illustrious representative monarch of our race."9
Unlike Gandhi, who used the imagery of village India to challenge the British Raj, Hindu nationalists imitated the symbols of British power. The RSS, founded in 1925 as a para-military Hindu sect, drilled its youngsters, dressed in khaki shorts, to British martial music. Most Hindu nationalists were of high castes. Their idea of India was as a powerful, upper-caste Hindu nation. Gandhi wanted to emancipate the untouchables and protect the Muslims. This was enough reason for a Hindu fanatic with a fascination for Savarkar to assassinate him.
Indian political debates during the last decades of the British Empire were not so different from those taking place in Europe, or China, or Japan. Should a modern nation-state be secular, democratic, and ethnically neutral, or should it "reflect" a unified culture, religion, or race? Hindu chauvinism has often been compared to fascism, or even Nazism. Jaffrelot shows how some important Hindu ideologues admired Hitler, and were inspired by German ideas. He quotes the RSS guru, M.S. Golwalkar:
To keep up the purity of the Race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the semitic Races—the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well nigh impossible it is for Races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by.
But Jaffrelot warns against simple equations. Hindus rarely made a fetish of blood or race. Rather, they wanted to incorporate all minorities in the Hindu fold. They still do. I saw pictures of Mother Theresa in shrines to Durga, the Mother Goddess. And I was told by a BJP spokesman in Lucknow that since Indian Muslims were converts, Ram was their divine ancestor too. The problem with Muslims has been their refusal to renounce their faith.
Still, for at least thirty years after independence, Nehru's idea of India prevailed. It was forbidden by law to use religious symbols for electoral purposes. By securing the support for his Congress Party of most high-caste Hindus, including many traditionalists, and of the Muslims, whose interests he tried to protect, he pushed the Hindu chauvinists to the extremist fringe. And the socialists and Communists in opposition shared his secular views. Nonetheless, as Jaffrelot points out, the seeds of future trouble were already planted in 1948, by the Congress Party itself, in Ayodhya. The Congress candidate painted his socialist opponent in a by-election as a materialist lacking in Hindu spiritual values, while presenting himself as a paragon of Hindu orthodoxy. In the following year, Hindu fanatics broke into the Ayodhya mosque and placed an idol of Ram there. Devotees greeted this event as a miracle.
Further dents in Nehru's secular edifice were made by his daughter, Indira, who replaced his de haut en bas democracy by what Sunil Khilnani calls "a Jacobin conception of direct popular sovereignty." More and more people began to vote. And to gain their support, Mrs. Gandhi made deals with Sikh separatists, Hindu nationalists, and Muslims, promising state patronage in exchange for votes. Her son Rajiv continued the process. Despite India's secular constitution, Muslims were allowed to retain special marriage laws—to the advantage of Muslim men but not Muslim women, whose rights, after a divorce, are limited. As though to restore the balance, Rajiv kicked off his 1989 election campaign near Ayodhya, because, he declared, it was "the land of Ram, this holy land." And it was Rajiv who gave instruction to unlock the gates of the disputed but defunct Ayodhya mosque, as the first step to a Hindu restoration.
The result of these gestures to communal sentiments was described to me by a weary senior bureaucrat in Luck- now, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, whose confidence in politicians had ebbed with his years in their service. He had a picture of Nehru on his office wall. He said the worst mistake of the Gandhis (mother and son) was to make the Congress Party "play on the same wicket as the BJP." By playing politics with caste and creed, they made Hindu nationalism respectable. So when the Congress monopoly on power collapsed roughly at the end of the cold war,10 many high-caste Hindu traditionalists transferred their allegiance to the BJP.11 V.S. Naipaul has described this as a great awakening, a necessary stage in "self-awareness."12 This might betray a degree of historical naiveté. If anything was reawakened, it was Sarvarkar's idea of India, which had been so deftly discredited by Nehru.
BJP politics plays on high-caste Hindu fears and frustrations: fear that lower castes, through positive discrimination ("reservations"), will squeeze high-caste Hindus out of overcrowded government jobs; fear that Muslims enjoy unfair privileges, or, by being "backward," keep India weak and poor. Since Muslims and low-caste Hindus are getting politically active, high-caste Hindus feel vulnerable. They sense that their dominance is slipping. What the BJP promises is not so much the restoration of a Hindu Golden Age as a strong, modern Hindu state with Ayodyha as its Vatican. Nothing about this is traditional, or even necessarily antidemocratic. Although the increased importance of communal politics has shaken the faith of some people in India's democracy, Sunil Khilnani is not one of them. He writes, again, I think, with wisdom:
Regional and caste politics, and Hindu nationalism, embody different potentialities, but they are all direct products of India's first four decades of independence. It is wrong to see them as atavistic forms that repudiate or attack the ideas of the state and democracy; on the contrary, they exemplify the triumphant success of these ideas.
But what of his other argument, about the civilizing process of constitutional democracy? Destroying mosques and killing Muslims is hardly civilized behavior. The current level of violence is nothing compared to the carnage that took place during Partition, but it has been steadily rising since the 1950s. The reaction to the violence in Ayodhya has been interesting, however. Even the BJP leaders appear to have been shocked by what they had set in motion, if not actively organized. Advani, and others, were arrested by the central government for inciting communal violence. Public disapproval ran so high that the BJP did badly in the 1993 state elections of Uttar Pradesh. As a result, the BJP was forced to share the state government with the BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party), a party of Dalits, the lowest caste. The BSP is led by the forty-one-year-old Mrs. Mayawati, a Dalit herself.13 This peculiar alliance, of high castes and the very lowest, alternating in power every six months, was based on their shared dislike of a third party, the SP (Samajwadi Party), which represents the "other backward classes" (OBCs). These other low castes have increasingly moved out of dire poverty by becoming small landowners, businessmen, and civil servants. Many policemen are OBCs. So are most of the thugs who beat up Muslims or, indeed, Dalits.14
A short walk around my hotel in Lucknow revealed something about the present state of India, or at least of its Hindi belt. There was a general air of national assertion, with a hint of aggression. Outside the hotel entrance was a large new statue of Subhas Chandra Bose, the militant Bengali nationalist who allied himself to the Imperial Japanese army during the war. His picture can often be seen in VHP and RSS offices. Bose was one of those men whose idea of nationhood was based on military discipline and the Führerprinzip. There he stands, the rotund tough guy, in his jackboots and his uniform, a strutting reproach to the gentler Gandhi and the brooding Anglophile Nehru.
Behind the statue of Bose, I examined the billboards advertising computer courses, schools, and consumer products: "Totally modern, totally Indian." A college, promising bright career prospects, advertised itself by saying: "Be Indian, stay Indian. Now go for an education that is totally Indian—with us." Under the billboards was a slum of terrifying poverty: hovels made of rags, black with grime; children with copper-colored hair, caused by malnutrition, played in the rubbish, where men were defecating. They were Dalits.
The assertion of national identity was striking, but the assertion of caste identity was even more so. One of the first things Mrs. Mayawati did as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh was to build statues of B.R. Ambedkar, the leader of the "untouchables." Ambedkar, shown as a bespectacled figure pointing, Lenin-like, to a better future, was of the lowest caste himself. As Nehru's law minister in 1947, he helped to frame the national constitution, which outlawed caste discrimination. But he was so disillusioned by the lack of actual progress that he resigned from politics and became a Buddhist. During the six months of Mrs. Mayawati's rule, Ambedkar suddenly appeared everywhere, in Lucknow, in "Ambedkar villages" around Lucknow, and indeed all over Uttar Pradesh. The demand for Ambedkar statues was so pressing that there were not enough sculptors to go round. A large bronze Ambedkar now stands in the center of Lucknow, opposite an older, more modest-sized Gandhi.
Inside the back of Ambedkar's statue is a heavily guarded police box. "Security problems," I was told. Ashok Priyadarshi, the secretary to the Uttar Pradesh government, took me to see Mrs. Mayawati's grandest project: Ambedkar Park. On the way he explained that Mrs. Mayawati had changed the political scene in U.P. forever. The statues and the Ambedkar villages may look like nothing but gestures, but they amount to more than that. The Dalits have woken up. They will assert their power through the ballot box. He told me this in the neutral style of a civil servant. But when we drove past Ambedkar Park, a huge building site with skeletons of fantastic, modern buildings in pink and white stone, his manner changed. He shook his head sadly, and said: "All that money. Where did it all come from? Who will account for it? All that corruption, that is there…" Mr. Priyadarshi was not even sure what the buildings were for. One was to be an international hotel, he thought, and another, well, a science institute maybe?
Perhaps we will never know. In October, the BJP took its turn to govern U.P. Instantly government jobs started going to BJP supporters. Dalits were officially warned not to "abuse" the laws that protected them against caste discrimination. Mrs. Mayawati was accused of corruption. Some members of her party defected. Violent scenes followed in the state legislature. Politicians pelted each other with chairs, microphones, inkstands, or whatever else came to hand. Some ended up in hospital. The central government was asked to dissolve the unruly government of Uttar Pradesh and impose presidential rule. Despite fierce opposition from regional parties in the government, it agreed to do so. But when the President asked the Cabinet to reconsider, the decision was reversed. The BJP called this a great day for democracy. But it was a bad day for Prime Minister I.K. Gujral's shaky coalition government in Delhi. The debacle exposed divisions in the central government, which are as deep as those which tore apart the state government of U.P.
I called Mr. Priyardashi to ask him what was going on now in Ambedkar Park. Building was slowly coming to a halt, he said. It is now "subject to enquiry," he said. "Massive bungling," he said. "Many heads will roll," he said. He didn't sound overly disturbed. He had seen it all before.
