This is a weekend for singers who can sing in tune, keep a beat, and want an adventure.
For those with a passion for singing and a thirst for musical space broader than song, band or choir, Vocal Improvisation offers singers an open space for skilled expression, an unusually deep opportunity to collaborate with other singers (and instrumentalists, but not in this workshop), and a rich musical challenge.
It works our selves. The artform reaches to our souls and sends them through the air via our unique voices. People usually find this initially terrifying, and then very powerful. Over time, it welcomes us to settle into our full selves, and expand our comfort to be seen and heard.
Vocal Improvisation invites us rise as communitarians, as we co-create a container of safety and care, which the artform asks of us.
It works our chops - our applied music theory; as the musical map provided by composition is taken away, we have to up-skill our use of rhythm, harmony and melody - and wow, that feeds us: respecting ourselves as vocal musicians and training ourselves accordingly, step by step.
Most of all, Vocal Improv is really really fun, connective, a deep journey and more and more of us are becoming - or have become - hooked.
Briony Greenhill - recently called "The Joni Mitchell of a new generation," "the Rolls-Royce of voice teachers," "a master" whose work is "life changing" - offers the only extended trainings in Vocal Improvisation available in the UK and a unique blend of expertise in vocal musicianship, voice coaching and improvisation, also increasingly informed by trauma literacy and Californian healing modalities.
Briony teaches this from general to advanced levels in the UK and U.S., has released the world's first entirely improvised five voice album and is currently producing another two albums. You can see a film of a recent live improvisation here, watch an old film about this teaching here (a new film is in production), and listen to the last album here.
Limited to 16 places.
Saturday 10am-5pm
Sunday 10.30am - 4pm.
Students have said:
"One of the most powerful experiences of my life! I feel changed on a cellular level!" (ok it was a 4 day retreat not a weekend…)
"Briony really made us all feel at home – starting off with exercises that didn't force me outside of my comfort zone, and a no judgement pact, really allowed me to feel comfortable with the group, which then gave me the confidence to try out some solos."
"It was seriously fun, crazy, inspiring, opening and meditative, all at the same time."
"Some singing teachers teach you sing with your voice. Briony teaches you to sing with your heart and sing from your soul."
"You made it feel like a womb. Protected, loved, nourished, warm and holding."

HUNDREDS of defiant women marched their way through night-time Manchester, as part of a campaign demanding safety for women on the streets, in the home and in the workplace.
As part of the `Reclaim the Night' march - organised to coincide with International Women's Day - around 200 women and girls walked with placards and banners from Piccadilly Gardens to Deansgate and back again.
The first demonstration of its kind was 30 years ago when women from Manchester and London - angry at police and media advice that women should stay indoors due to the Yorkshire Ripper killings - came together to protest their right to walk down the street. And similar protests have been held across the country over the past 30 years.
Protester Melissa Briscoe said: "Every woman lives with the fear of violence - that can act as a kind of curfew - making them feel vulnerable to walk down a dark street or go out on their own at night. The demonstration is to make the point that women should be free to live without this fear."
Organisers of the march said that surveys show that 26 per cent of women have been subjected to domestic violence, with two women killed by their abusive partners every week; that one in four women have experienced rape or attempted rape; and that 20 to 30 per cent of girls experience child sexual abuse.
The marches are to demand safety for women on the street, at home, and in the workplace.
A spokeswoman for the marchers said: "In 2007, just months after the murders of five women in Ipswich, there remains an urgent need for women and girls to claim their right to live without violence."

In this week's Parshah (Torah Portion), in Bereishit/Genesis 32:25-33 the night before Yaakov is reunited with his brother Esav, he encounters what the Torah strangely refers to as "a man". The man and Yaakov wrestle together until the break of dawn. What is this wrestling about and who is this man? Before I attempt to answer this question, I think it is important to note that the theme of wrestling in the life of Yaakov did not begin with this story. In reality this has been a theme of Yaakov's entire life.
We see Yaakov figuratively wrestling throughout his life. From the time we are first introduced to Yaakov in Chapter 25 of Bereishit/Genesis until the end of the book of Bereishit/Genesis, Yaakov is presented as a "wrestler" of sorts. Yaakov "wrestles" with his twin brother Esav in a losing attempt to come out of the womb of their mother first. He "wrestles" growing up with his brother. He "wrestles" with his brother in ascending to the leadership of the Jewish people. He "wrestles" in escaping his brother, who was angry at him for taking the position of leader away from him. He "wrestles" with his father-in-law Lavan who tricks him many many times. He "wrestles" when he returns to Canaan to reunite with his brother. He "wrestles" when his daughter Dina is raped and his son Shimon and Levi take bloody revenge. He "wrestles" when his son Yoseph is in conflict with his brothers and for many years Yaakov believes his beloved son to be dead. However, Yaakov's ultimate wrestling is with this man. Now, let us return to our original question. Who is this man and why is Yaakov wrestling with him?
Many commentators including Sforno, Rashi and Ramban say it is a Malach, an Angel. However, in my opinion Yaakov is wrestling with God. At the conclusion of this story Yaakov names the location where the wrestling took place, Bereishit/Genesis 32:31 "So Yaakov called the name of the place Peniel – I have seen the Divine, face to face." It would seem in this line that Yaakov has an awareness that he just wrestled with God. What does it mean that Yaakov is wrestling with God? It means that he had to wrestle with what it means to have a relationship with God and to try to understand the nature of God. Perhaps all of the wrestling that Yaakov engaged in, whether it was physical wrestling, political wrestling, family dynamic wrestling or business wrestling, that went on through out Yaakov's life was a metaphor for wrestling with God. Bereishit/Genesis 32:29 points out that from this wrestling with God Yaakov receives a new name: Yisrael, "the one who wrestles or struggles with God". This becomes our name, because we, as descendants of Yaakov must follow this legacy. We must wrestle with God. In other words, we need to struggle to understand God and Judaism.
Struggle is inherent to the daily experience of Judaism. This can be seen in the commandment to study Torah, which we are obligated to do everyday. Every morning when we recite the Bracha, the Blessing on learning Torah. We say, "Laskoe bidivray Torah." That we should involve ourselves, busy ourselves, exert ourselves in the words of the Torah. Thus, accordingly to my Rebbe, Rav Bronspiegel, such language denotes the fact that to fulfill the mitzvah of learning Torah, we must toil. That one who learns Torah easily and whose understanding comes without effort does not fulfill the mitzvah of learning Torah. However, those who struggle, and toil, and labor over Torah, and still do not fully understand their studies, have fulfilled the mitzvah. Why? Struggle must be involved in the learning of Torah. Rav Bronspiegel used to say, "You boys think you will become a lamdun, a scholar, by studying Torah while sitting back in your chairs, eating a nice big piece of cake and drinking a nice tall glass of Coca Cola, but you will never become a lamdun unless you toil, unless you struggle."
I would like to suggest that this is why Judaism does not have dogma. We have no list of principles we have to believe in to be Jewish. Yes, we have a variety of Jewish philosophical texts, which describe a variety of theological ideas. However, it is not uncommon for these texts to conflict. Yes, certain parameters exist to define Jewish theology; however within theses parameters we have tremendous diversity.
The same is true with Halacha, Jewish Law. Halacha has certain boundaries but the distance between these boundaries is fairly wide, and within these boundaries, we have a variety of acceptable positions. Why do we have such diversity in both Jewish theology and Jewish law? Would it not be easier to have a simple list of what we should believe and do? Yes it would, but that would conflict with what I think is one of the central ideas of Judaism: the struggle to understand Judaism. If Judaism were only a list of rules and beliefs, we would have no struggle. It is the diversity that forces us to struggle, to learn, and to grow.
We must grow constantly. One must never say, "This is what I am, and this is what I do. I am not going to change. I am not going to do anything differently from what I do now. I am not going to challenge myself." This is a problem amongst Jews of all levels of observance and of all philosophies.
To illustrate this problem, I would like to share excerpts of a speech. To help you understand this speech, I need to explain two terms. The first is Baal Teshuvah. Literally, Baal Teshuvah means "a keeper of repentance," a person who is involved in repentance. In Jewish pop culture language, the term describes someone who was not raised in a religious home, but who, nevertheless, became religious later in life. Often, such people are referred to by the initials B.T., Baal Teshuvah. The second term is Frum From Birth or F.F.B. This term refers to people who always have been religious.
For the speech to convey its full effect, I must tell you something else. The speech was given by a man named Hillel Gross. Mr. Gross is a member of Lincoln Square Synagogue, a large and successful Synagogue in New York City. In the early days of Lincoln Square Synagogue many of the people who attended the synagogue were Baalei Teshuvah (plural of Baal Teshuvah). The speech was given at a Synagogue dinner. Mr. Gross is not a Baal Teshuvah. He is an F.F.B. This is what he said.
I am here tonight on what I fear is a totally vain effort to restore some perspective to this orgy of self-congratulations that you have staged for yourselves this evening. Because I think that somehow it's important that you beginners, B.T.s, leave tonight with at least a sense of how we, the F.F.B.s, as you call us, the frum-from-births, the "lifers," day-by-day Lincoln Square everyday congregants, feel about you–we don't like you!! And if you'll just indulge me for two to three minutes, I will tell you why it is that we don't like you–aside from the fact that you won't talk to us during davening! (Prayer) For ten years now, you have been coming to my house [on Shabbat and Holidays] just this once, try to see it from my perspective. I am what the sociologists and the demographers would call the "tired Jewish businessman." My fantasy of the ideal Friday night is to daven (pray) as fast as I can, eat as fast as I can, jump under the covers, assume a pre-fetal position, and conk out until Shacharis (the morning prayer service). . .
[But what happens when you come over to my home for Shabbat Dinner? You want to sing Shalom Aleichem (a special pre Shabbat Dinner Song), it is a tradition to sing this song but it is not obligatory, there is also a tune in which each verse is sung three times, and that is the way you want to sing it, because it says so in the Siddur (Prayerbook).] Fine, Shalom Aleichem three times. Then, you want Ayshes Chayil (Ayshet Chayil, a prayer of devotion to the woman of the house, that is also not obligatory) read in English–because it's more meaningful. Fine. Then one of you has a question — "We just made Kiddush (the prayer on the wine) in shul, why are we making Kiddush a second time?" . . . "How . . . do I know why we're making Kiddush a second time?" After Kiddush, one of you decides you'd like to make your own Kiddush, because you forgot to ask me before my Kiddush if I had you in mind. Fine, make your own Kiddush–at the rate of three Hebrew words a minute! Then, after washing (the ritual of washing hands and the accompanying blessing before reciting the blessing on the Challah, bread) we sit down, and during the course of conversation, usually mine, one of you will interrupt with undeniable sincerity and politeness and say: "Excuse me, but isn't what you're saying Loshon Hara (gossip)?" Yeah, I suppose you could say it's Loshon Hara. Fine, no more Loshon Hara! Then you want to sing Zmiros, (Zmirot, Shabbat Songs) the ones with eight verses–all of them! Fine. Then you want to do D'var Torahs (Divrei Torah, talks about Torah); every D'var Torah you ever heard up there you want to do. Fine. Then you want to bentch (recite Birkat Hamazon, the Blessing After Meals), singing each verse . . . Fine.
At this point, I bleary-eyed excuse myself and again, with unfailing politeness you say, "Thank you for having us, we'd love to come back next Shabbos!!" You'll be back next Shabbos all right . . . But you see, it's not that we dislike you, Chas V'shalom (G-d forbid), it's that you make us uncomfortable. We're uncomfortable because after 20-30-40 years of saying Shemoneh Esrei (the silent devotional prayer) three times a day, when we're with you we sense that perhaps our Shemoneh Esrei has become flat, routine, mechanical, while yours is vital and exuberant. We're uncomfortable because in the solitude of our souls we ask ourselves (and don't believe for a second that we don't ask ourselves), we ask ourselves if we could do in our 20′s and 30′s and 40′s what you've done. Could we uproot the habits of a lifetime . . . just to commit ourselves to our Judaism? And if we articulate this question, few of us dare to answer it. So, I suppose in the last analysis, we're uncomfortable because you practice what we preach. By your enthusiasm, by your embrace of everything that's Jewish, you challenge us. By your insatiable thirst for knowledge, you provoke us. And by your open-hearted love affair with Judaism and everything about it, you ultimately shame us. . .
The Ger Rebbe, one of the great Chassidic Rabbis of Jerusalem, once met a young man who was learning at a Yeshiva called Ohr Samayach. Ohr Sameach of Jerusalem caters mainly to Baalei Teshuvah. However, this young man was not a Baal Teshuvah, he was an F.F.B. So, when the Ger Rebbe met the young man the Rebbe said, "What do you do?" The young man responded "I'm learning at Ohr Samayach, (but quickly added) but I'm not a Baal Teshuvah,. So, the Rebbe responded in Yiddish. "Favorst nit?" Why not? What was the Rebbe's point? We all should be Baalei Teshuvah. It does not matter how we grew up, or what we are like today. All of us have to struggle constantly to strive and to grow in our commitment to Judaism and in our relationship with God. All of us have to struggle to grow in our spiritual lives.
In the past, when I have touched on the concept of struggle in Judaism, many people say, "Rabbi, I thought the whole idea of Judaism, the whole idea of religion, is to bring peace and harmony to our lives, and you talk as if Judaism commits our lives to utter turmoil." Now, don't get me wrong.
Judaism is therapeutic, and it does bring inner peace. However, we also have this element of struggle. As Rav Soloveitchik explains in his classic essay, "Sacred and Profane: Kodesh and Chol in World Perspectives," "The religious experience…is beyond granting…spiritual complacency. To the contrary, the religious experience is [about] continual challenge: God, if [humanity] finds [God], does not relieve the God seeker of [questions], but [rather] imposes new ones. Religion enriches life, gives it depth and multidimensional visions, but does not always grant [humanity] the comfort and complacency that nearly always [spells] superficiality and shallow mindedness."
So you see, struggle is good, struggle is important, struggle is absolutely necessary. What are our struggles as a people today? Without question, everyone will agree that assimilation stands out as one of the greatest struggles we face. We must realize that there are no easy solutions to this problem. Whenever I attend some type of Jewish organizational meeting, invariably the agenda turns to what we should do about assimilation. Those present at the meeting always say something like, "If only we could get every child to go to a good Hebrew school, Day school, Jewish camp, Youth group or Israel program-then, all of our problems will be solved." The solution is not that simple. Yes, all of these programs will help, but the only strategy that will ensure Jewish continuity in an individual's life is for each person to find meaning in Judaism. The only way to do that, is to become engaged in spiritual struggle. Therefore, the Jewish community must make spiritual and intellectual struggle part of our various youth and adult Jewish educational programs. It is not enough to teach people; we have to inspire them to struggle.
In Bereishit/Genesis 32:30, after the "wrestling match" Yaakov says to "God", "Please tell me your name". In the Torah, a name is not just a name; it defines who a person is. Therefore, when Yaakov asks this question, what he is really asking is, what is the essence of God? "God" responds to Yaakov's question, "Why do you ask me your name?" The conversation ends there, as if God is essentially saying, you can never truly understand the total essence of God. Perhaps, all you can do is struggle to understand God and by so doing you will come to some understanding, but never a total and complete understanding of God. However, there is more to this. Struggling with God does not come without challenges. Bereishit/Genesis 32:26 points out that Yaakov was injured by the wrestling. His hip socket was dislocated. In other words, struggling with God can take a toll on us. In Bereishit/Genesis 32:33 we are told that we are not supposed to eat the Gid Hanasheh, the sciatic nerve of the hip socket of kosher animals. Perhaps, this prohibition is a reminder and a warning of the challenges of struggling with God. Therefore, we must approach struggling with God very carefully. We should not tell those first learning about Judaism that they must struggle. First, we must expose them to the warmth, the love, and the joy of Judaism. However, eventually, every Jew has to struggle. I bless you all that each of you struggle with God and with Judaism in powerful and meaningful way.
The following is excerpted from the song "The Wrestler" by Bruce Springsteen:
These things that have comforted me, I drive away. This place that is my home I cannot stay. My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display. Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free? If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me.


text: Mark 2:1-12 tells a story of friends carrying a man who was paralyzed being carried to be healed by Jesus. When they came to the house where Jesus was, they could not enter in the door because there were so many people. Instead they went on to the roof, dug a hole and lowered the man down through the roof to Jesus. I love this story that shows creativity and healing. It demonstrates that sometimes we need to lead people to Christ. It teaches us that loving your neighbor is a verb. It grants accessibility to people who are differently abled. As a result, Through the Roof has become the name of our ministry for individuals with special needs. It is a ministry to care for the spiritual needs of people with disabilities. It is a ministry where God's love reaches beyond the walls of the church into the community.

I'm in a bad fucking mood. That's all there is to it. Or is it?
Everyday, sometimes a couple of times a day, for the last couple of days, I've found myself quite frustrated. I only have two hands but I'm blessed with the two hands of my mate. We each want to soothe and ease each other and ourselves and our offspring which is becoming increasingly difficult. The level of work and financial demands seem pressing and important and i like electricity.
okay, okay, so let's fast forward to the heart of the matter:
1. Let's try cooperative living, which is not necessarily communal living – if you catch my meaning. If you see a parent struggling to perform a task and wrangle a child, offer to help with the task so they can concentrate on their kiddo. Put away your neighbor's trash/recycling bin after pick up. Volunteer for reading programs at the library, at a retirement home, at the hospitals.
2. What IF food and shelter and clean water were free? How would we value the work of the builders and the customer service representatives that run the city utilities? Or the people who are tasked with monitoring the water for cleanliness and restoration of natural habitats with small improvements. I cannot understand this predicament we're in. There are so many hands and so many tasks that should be performed. Money is slowing down our progress and accelerating our decay. I'm not saying money is evil. I'm saying that it's no longer serving us in a healthy, progressive manner. On the other hand- it's all imaginary anyway, so why not give groups of folks who have passion for things the money that they need to get it accomplished? Also, this cannot be an original idea so someone please point me in the direction of ideology or philosophy or political history that I'm suggesting we re-enact so I can go educate myself on what happened previously.
3. Houses that need to be razed should just be razed and given back to the communities to create parks/gardens/public play centers Yes GIVEN, as a token of good faith for robbing humanity blind for a minimum of 3 generations. A public trust that encourages learning about natural relationships – what if schools spent portions of their days out in the gardens to learn. Even on the cold, wet, days? There could be high-level aquaponics, an excellent release of energy through climbing on trees and on strategically placed structures for reaching tree tops- a blending of asthetics and utility that will draw more people to more places. I see a round seating area and a tea hutch at every park with teas harvested on the property and a hot/cold water sink with water collected from the rain and filtered. covered walkways and large green houses where folks work to pot and plant and dry and harvest.
The anger is at least processed.

Seattle - November 2009
We spent a few days in Seattle in early November, staying at the Arctic Club (Doubletree) Hotel for 2 nights, then with relatives for the 3rd. Lots of visits with family, sightseeing, photos and good food. The Arctic Club was built in 1914 as a private club, and had been an office building for many years. The building is well known in Seattle as the one with the walruses as part of the architectural details. The building was recently (2008) renovated and converted to a hotel, and is now a Doubletree (Hilton). The walrus motif has been used extensively in the hotel.Read More

Blue House Gallery Exhibition, 29 July – 10 August 2016
I am very pleased to be asked to show my paintings at the Blue House Gallery in Schull, West Cork, during July and August of 2016. This is a solo show upstairs, with painter Helen O'Keeffe in her own room, and Grainne Cuffe's beautiful flower prints downstairs; the exhibition was opened by Ian Mcgonagal. Because the gallery is artist led, part of exhibiting there is taking a turn at invigilation which is a great opportunity to meet the public and get feedback, both for one's own work and that of the other artists, whilst selling a piece is obviously a lovely bonus!
The Blue House Gallery, on Schull's main street, was established in 2012, primarily to represent artists resident in West Cork, and in addition to introduce the work of national and international artists. Annually, between April and September, the Gallery presents solo and group exhibitions, themed shows and exhibitions highlighting different media. I am looking forward to exhibiting there again next year, this time with Wendy Dison and Donagh Carey, at the beginning of August 2017. Watch this space or visit the Blue House Gallery website for more details.
The Blue House Gallery is situated in the middle of the village on Main Street and is open seven days a week between 11 am and 6 pm. The exhibition continues until Wednesday 10th August

A man with few words, Dave Clarke talks to us about his upcoming performance in the first addition of Sónar Hong Kong 2017. The brand has been travelling around the world for over 20 years, promoting new media technology and electronic music alike. This year it has finally made its way to Hong Kong, and we are very excited to talk to one of the main acts that's will be performing in one of the six stages that will be blasting with electronic tunes. Dave Clarke is one of the pioneering acts that explored the genre of techno music in the early 90's, named was one of the founders that broke out of the box of defining his own music as one sole genre, instead mixing up with different beats and hopes for his music as one that could reach to everyone out in the globe.
Stoked to be coming back to Hong Kong, Clarke has been one of the staple performers in the Sónar chain, started in 1995 in Barcelona, he is definitely not shy of any experience performing at a festival, but how does he feel about coming to Hong Kong for it's first installation of the technology focused festival? Clarke explains "not being in Europe changes the vibe, but I think Hong Kong is culturally fit for Sónar, it will be different but charged with energy" which have been rubbing off of the DJ overtime he visits.
When discussing the vibe of the festival, Clarke suggests that it's going to be a direct and real techno live performance sets from 11am till 3am, a whole day dedicated to the liking of all techno music, ranging from the staples of the genre to the upcoming fresh new acts, so remember to look out for brand new sounds!
Catch Dave Clarke's set at Sónar Hong Kong 2017 on 1st April at 01:30 AM

Transcripts/School Documents
The school will arrange for shipping of original documents but all expenses must be paid by the ex-student making the request.
We will try to make our best to get these document to you as quickly as possible but may need up to 5 business days to prepare documents.
Admission Testing
Many students who are transferring from SSIS to another school need to do supervised admission tests as part of their new school's application process.
SSIS is happy to facilitate this process but parents should note that it can be quite time consuming-invigilating tests, making copies, scanning and arranging for confidential return to the school involved. As a result, there is a flat 100 yuan service fee per school to administer admission tests.

Quilting is my #1 hobby, hands down, but as a crafter, we all know we never just stick to one thing. Our creative minds just explode with ideas and, well, we just need to let that out or the world may come to a shortage of chocolate. Heh!
I am finding that my second crafty love is cross stitching. It all began with The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery and all their most adorable designs. I just couldn't resist. You can find their (Amanda and Ashleigh's) designs HERE and HERE.
It started with this...
Then my good friend, Heather, designed this spectacular Holiday Holly Deer so I tested the pattern for her. I love how it turned out!
Then The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery released their Woodland Sampler. It's only February and its already so full of cuteness! I can't wait to see what each month will bring! I am secretly hoping there are turtles, even though turtles are not traditionally in the woods... ;)
Here are a few shots of my progress with the sampler...
Here is January all finished and full of cute!
..and on to February..
If you'd like to stitch along with the Woodland Sampler, you can sign up HERE for only $16.95 for the whole year! Even though it's February, you will still get Januarys pattern too. :)
What are you waiting for? Come join me?
Much Love!!!

Choosing Car Light Covers
By Bruno Silva on Feb 02, 2010 with Comments 0
In view of oft-time expensive nature of lights, the light cover manufacturers attach a great deal of importance to the durability and reliable of a light cover in case of a possible rock hit or an untoward smashing into another vehicle in a parking lot. Certainly, no need to worry any more, the end has been achieved effectively by introducing such patterned ones that cater for all the desired motives.
Other than being long lasting, weather resistant and all that, one of the most significant roles of a typical light cover that has evolved over the course of car manufacturing, is to absorb the damage inflicted on your light sets. The modern technology has enabled the manufacturer to develop transparent light cover materials that would permit the on-looker to see the appealing designs and descriptions of your light, esp. the sports ones. The regular production of light covers today employs materials viz. carbon steel, acrylics, polymers, polycarbonate, ASB plastic, thermo plastic vinyl, and for a shiny look, stainless steel. These materials are strong enough to safeguard lights from abrasion, scratching, and mechanical damage while bestowing the car with a highly finished look at lights.
Through the application of light covers one can certainly rest assured and calm about concerns of lights and outlook for these give your vehicle an added look that caters for the young taste in particular

Q: I have a problem that you may be able to help me with. Last year, my husband, Juan, traveled to Valencia, Spain. I made his hotel reservations through a travel agency.
When he tried to check in at Melia Rey Don Jaime, it did not have a room for him. He was moved to the Confortel. The rate at the Confortel was nearly three times more than his original reservation. He was charged an extra $1,034.

Juan was told to call the reservation company, Utell, which promised to straighten this out when he returned home. After he came back to the states, he submitted his receipts to Utell.
But Utell recently told me that the hotel property is no longer with their company and that I would have to deal with the hotel in Spain on my own to get a refund. Can you please help me?
— Olivia Suarez, Albuquerque, N.M.
A: Your husband shouldn't have had to pay the difference between the hotel he was supposed to stay in, and the one he was sent to.
If the Melia Rey Don Jaime was overbooked, then the commonly accepted hotel industry practice is to "walk" you to a comparable hotel. Most hotels will cover any rate difference, which means you would only have to pay the rate you were quoted by the first hotel. It is also supposed to reimburse you for any transportation expenses to the new hotel, plus a phone call.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors

- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
It's unclear to me why that didn't happen, or how Utell eventually got involved. If the Melia Rey Don Jaime didn't "walk" your husband, he should have phoned your travel agent, who could have applied some pressure to the hotel to honor the reservation at another hotel.
No one should have told Juan to contact Utell. Roping in Utell, which offers reservations services to travel agents, is like telling someone with a complaint about a restaurant meal to contact the food wholesaler. This should have been handled between your husband's hotel, your travel agent, and you.
Once you asked Utell for help, it should have punted this back to your agent or your hotel to sort the problem out. Again, it's unclear why that didn't happen, and why you were left to negotiate directly with the hotel. I think the time to have done that was when your husband was standing at the check-in desk, without a room. That's when issues like payment need to get sorted out — not weeks after you've returned home.
Since Utell promised to help you, I contacted the company on your behalf. It sent you a check for $1,034.

I designed the CRC logo to represent the organization's link between creative community and social justice.
The graphic pattern system uses unique shapes––inspired by different elements of CRC––to form the logo's letters. This symbolizes their mission of bringing support and resilience to vulnerable communities. While their mission is somewhat serious, I wanted the logo to look friendly and playful, to represent their welcoming spirit.

How To Find Your Fire
This is a hard lesson to teach, because it usually goes in one ear and out the other. So, I'll just start with how I took control of my life.
After 5 years of becoming the man someone else wanted me to be, I broke it off with my fiancé. I decided it was time to start making myself happy first, other people second. All my life, I put other's happiness first. That put them in charge of my future.
I realized I didn't know myself anymore. So, I decided to do the things I wanted to do without asking for permission.
I invested in my Jeep, I bought a gun, then I backpacked through Italy alone. I stayed at hostels and met new people. When you're alone, no one has any preexisting expectations of you, so I was forced to redefine myself. Suddenly I was writing my own path and it didn't matter what other people thought.
Then, I placed all of my time and energy into becoming better at my job. I made myself known — I wasn't the same ole Nick anymore. Now, I'm happy with the man I am, and I'm following my fire.
Here's what you need to know:
Put your happiness first.
Take the fear of failing and other people's opinions out of the equation. What are you left with? Go do that thing.
Bust out of your shell.
Break from your comfort zone to get your mind restarted. If you're struggling to find your fire, it's time to look in new places.
Mix things up a bit. I did it by traveling. For you, it could be hanging out with a new crowd, going to a skate park with no experience, or playing sax on the subway. Do something you've never done before that doesn't have a predicable outcome. Life is not about getting it right the first time, it's about taking chances. Live for the experience.
Acknowledge your strengths.
Just because someone is better than you at something, doesn't mean it isn't your strength. If you're willing to do it often and you have good results from it, it counts.
And don't be shy about what they are. I used to run an online gaming community for a while, and I was damn good at it.
Take it day by day.
You probably wish you could see 20 years into the future. Fortunately for you, you don't need to. You just need to look into yourself to find your future. Place your happiness first, and everything else will follow.
Your happiness is a torch. A torch doesn't light the entire path ahead of you. But it does light the way to the next step. Every step should be in the direction of your passions, using your strengths.
Follow Your Fire.
Take the fear of failing and other people's opinions out of the equation, and take chances. Put your happiness first, then place all of your strengths into the things you're passionate about.

Current Courses
Professor Milam will be on sabbatical for the 2019-20 academic year and will not be teaching.
Recent Courses
Freshman Seminar 161: Histories of the Future (Fall 2016) [Syllabus] What if history is not a neutral construction through which time unfolds? In this seminar we explore the ways in which the texture of history itself has changed covered the twentieth century, from the perspective of the history of science.
HIS 392 - Undergraduate Class: History of Evolution (Spring 2017) [Syllabus] Interweaving intellectual and cultural history, this course covers the history of evolutionary theory from Charles Darwin, and the scholars on whom he drew, to the late 20th century. Throughout this century and a half we explore how biologists invested in evolutionary theory the capacity to explain the diversity of life on this planet, our all too human nature, and perhaps, therefore, to help us solve some of the world's most pressing problems. We will also discuss how and why critics have attacked evolution as amoral and socially dangerous, seeking to remove it from public schools and the lives of their children. In doing so, we investigate how scientists have negotiated the dynamic (and sometimes fraught) relationship between professional and public science.
HIS/ENV 394 - Undergraduate Class: History of Environmentalism and Ecology (Spring 2019) [Syllabus] From a scientific perspective, ecologists study the interactions between and among organisms and their environments. From an activist perspective, ecology is synonymous with the environmental movement, green politics, and conservation. This course explores this dynamic tension between science and political activism, between professional identity and personal conviction, as a historical phenomena that developed over the course of the twentieth century.
HIS/HOS/GSS 519 - Graduate Seminar: Gender and Science (Fall 2017) [Syllabus] This graduate seminar is designed to introduce students to a set of questions and analytical tools developed by scholars from history, history of science, and feminist science studies.
HOS/HIS 599 - Graduate Seminar: Reckoning with Biological Determinism (Fall 2018) [Syllabus] This seminar explores the changing intellectual landscapes on which debates about biological determinism were waged, from the 18th century to the present day. The readings alternate between weeks that focus on humans and weeks that focus on non-human actors to illustrate the variety and flexibility of biological narratives in the service of naturalizing some individual, social, and political behaviors (and casting others as "unnatural"). These readings will also allow us to ask questions about causality in historical writings about nature(s), including mosquito empires, global populations, and epigenetic landscapes.

Meridia, Lady of Infinite Energies,[1] also known as the Glister Witch,[2] is an obscure Daedric Prince, associated with the energies of living things.[3] Meridia has a great and everlasting hatred for the undead and will greatly reward any who eliminate them from the world. Meridia is one of the few Daedric Princes who is usually not considered to be wholly evil.[4] However, in the Iliac Bay area, she is known as the Daedra Lady of Greed and as an avid collector of human specimens.[5]
Meridia (originally known as Merid-Nunda) was believed to have been a Magne-Ge, a family of divine beings that fled to Aetherius soon after the creation of Mundus. For supposedly consorting with illicit spectra, she was cast out of Aetherius and took the mantle of a Daedric Prince.[6] She created her realm of Oblivion, known as the Colored Rooms, by bending and shaping the rays of light from Magnus, the sun. Mankar Camoran (incorrectly) attributed Coldharbour to her, which is the realm of Molag Bal, one of her enemies (along with Ebonarm). Her realm is inhabited by the Aurorans. Some Daedra Seducers are also in her service.
She was responsible for the destruction of the Ayleid city of Abagarlas.[7] Her day of summoning is the 13th of Morningstar.[8] She granted immortality to her champion, Umaril the Unfeathered, the ancient Ayleid enemy of Pelinal Whitestrake.[9][10] Her Aurorans and Umaril returned during the time of the Oblivion Crisis to seek vengeance on the Divines.[7] To the Ayleids, she was the personification of their fourth element, light.[6][11]
Meridia has gifted many different Daedric artifacts to her champions over the years, though some of these relics are associated with another Daedric Prince. The Hero of Daggerfall received the Ring of Khajiiti from her after defeating a sorcerer who betrayed her.[5] Meridia charged the Champion of Cyrodiil with the task of destroying necromancers who were raiding tombs for corpses to raise an army of the undead, again in return for this ring.[12] The Last Dragonborn was offered the sword Dawnbreaker in return for helping her cleanse her temple, which had become tainted by a necromancer and the shades of the corpses he desecrated.[13]
Meridia can bestow upon people immortality, at the cost of their will, becoming those known as the Meridian Purified. People who join the ranks of the Meridian Purified are those that are both willing pledge to serve Meridia, or the unwilling, such as those that defy her.[14][15][16]
Dawnbreaker is a Daedric artifact created by the Daedric Prince Meridia. It was forged "in a holy light that breaks upon" the Prince's foes. In appearance it is an ebony longsword containing a distinctive light emitting crystal in its cross-guard known as the Dawnstar Gem. It was created with the intention of "burning away corruption and false life". As such, it is particularly effective against Meridia's "foes": this primarily applies to the undead, although its powers can also be used on Daedra and werewolves.
Dawnbreaker is known to deal magical or fire damage to those it strikes, along with additional damage to the Prince's foes, sometimes knocking them to the ground. When an undead creature is killed by the weapon, there is a chance that it will cause a fiery explosion, burning all other undead in its radius and causing them to flee. This explosion can prove dangerous if the wielder is also undead, such as a vampire. Those who possess Dawnbreaker are sometimes known to do more damage with mundane weapons.
During the time of the Planemeld, the Fighters Guild was commissioned to destroy Dark Anchors sent to Tamriel by Molag Bal. The highest ranking members were given the power to summon Dawnbreaker in the midst of battle to aid them in fulfilling this contract.
Dawnbreaker was subsequently given to Darien Gautier, the Vessel of Meridia, to be used in his fight against the Court of Bedlam during the cult's assault on Summerset Isle circa 2E 583. Darien was repeatedly thwarted by the triad of Daedric Princes leading the cult, and was eventually captured by Mephala and hidden deep within the Spiral Skein. His connection to Meridia was severed when the triad invaded the Colored Rooms, but not before Meridia managed to alert the Soulless One of Darien's location within the Spiral Skein. Darien was rescued by the Psijic Order and brought to Artaeum, where he aided the Order in entering the Evergloam in search of the Heart of Transparent Law. The group succeeded in locating the Heart—within the chest of Ritemaster Iachesis—but in doing so alerted the triad of Princes. Darien used the power of the Dawnbreaker to hold back the forces of Mephala and Clavicus Vile while the two fought for possession of the Heart, but both Princes were banished from the realm when Nocturnal herself arrived to claim the Heart. When Darien attempted to use the Dawnbreaker against Nocturnal in her own realm, she claimed the sword as well and corrupted it with shadow, now calling it Duskbringer. It was later given to Veya Releth, Nocturnal's earl and mortal champion who aided her in taking control of the Crystal Tower.
Veya used Duskbringer to carry out Nocturnal's will on Summerset. She used its dark power within the Cathedral of Webs to evade capture, freezing Earl Leythen in shadow when he attempted to confront her. Veya also wielded the sword in a final battle within the Crystal Tower, where she was slain by Darien Gautier and the Soulless One. After her defeat, Nocturnal attempted to intervene to stop the advancing heroes, but Darien was able to repel her darkness by using Meridia's power. As the last Light of Meridia, Darien then sacrificed himself to remove Nocturnal's corruption and restore Dawnbreaker. The Soulless One was able to use the Dawnbreaker to ascend to the top of the Tower and hold back Nocturnal's forces long enough to plunge the sword into Transparent Law, using its divine energy to repair the crystal. Once repaired, the Crystal Tower's innate defences were enough to banish Nocturnal, ending her plot to achieve infinite power.
At some point, Dawnbreaker was brought to Meridia's temple at Mount Kilkreath in Skyrim. In 4E 201, a Breton necromancer named Malkoran defiled the temple, and began trapping the souls of dead soldiers in the ongoing Stormcloak Rebellion. He used Dawnbreaker's power to fuel his profane magic, which greatly offended the Prince. In response, Meridia summoned the Last Dragonborn to Mount Kilkreath to cleanse the temple ruins and claim Dawnbreaker.
Ring of Khajiiti[edit]
The Ring of Khajiiti (sometimes just Ring of Khajiit or Ring of the Khajiiti) is an ancient Daedric artifact, many centuries old, dating back to at least the Second Era. It is associated with two Daedric Princes, Meridia and Mephala, who have both been known to offer the Ring in return for service. It is said that the ring makes the wearer invisible, silent, and quick.
The Ring was originally owned by Mephala, until it was stolen off her arm by Rajhin, the renowned burglar who later became revered as the Thief God of the Khajiit. Using the Ring's powers, Rajhin became the most successful burglar in Elsweyr's history. It is even said that Rajhin stole a tattoo from the neck of Empress Kintyra as she slept. Eventually, after making use of its power too freely, Rajhin was abandoned by the Ring and left exposed to his enemies.
The Colored Rooms[edit]
The Colored Rooms are a realm of Oblivion, created and ruled over by Meridia, known as the Daedric Prince of Infinite Energies. From what little has been seen of the Colored Rooms, they seem to resemble a cross between a coral reef and a vast field of floating stones, strewn with colorful trails of dust or cloud. The "ground" between the stones looks like luminescent water, but is solid enough to walk on. Aurorans and their warhorses are the spawn of Meridia that reside in the Colored Rooms, being made from pure light and have skin tones of virtually any hue. Golden Saints are also purported to reside in the realm.
The Colored Rooms were formed when Meridia fled Mundus with her fellow Star-Orphans. However, instead of fleeing to Aetherius, Meridia went into the Void, where she was chided by the Daedric Princes for her trespass. Bending the light of Magnus, Meridia then carved her own sphere from the chaos of the Void, creating a new plane of Oblivion.
- The Invocation of the Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition, states that Meridia "contains the Plenum".
