Singing lessons

Can anyone recommend singing lessons in the area? I'm a complete beginner (I've got musical training but my singing is pretty bad), and I just want to learn some techniques. Thanks, DS!

Total long shot question: roto tiller?

We need to sod our yard, and I was wondering if anyone happens to own a roto-tiller and would be willing to lend it out for use this weekend? I know we can rent one from home depot, and it's likely what we'll end up doing, but I thought i'd see if anyone here would lend one first. We would be willing to repay in beer/wine if that's your thing... or homemade bread.

A Jewish King Arthur? Yes--more than one! Arthur's tale is sometimes called The Matter of Britain, but it caught the imagination of well over half of Europe. There were Italian versions, German ones, French stories of Arthur's court, Serbian, Spanish--Yiddish, and even Hebrew. If you've been the kind of geek who read Arthurian novels or watches Arthurian television shows or films, you are part of a long tradition, and if you are the kind of geek who liked to make fun of the mainstream values of western culture through these Arthurian stories, you are part of a long Jewish tradition! We'll read a little of the 1279 Hebrew Arthur story discovered and translated by Curt Leviant, and have a good time.
