15 Jul 2017 … Tonight we were training new booth-op Kimberley, which added a little extra pressure. Fortunately MC Keu was on hand reminding the 100+ guests of our scheduled start time.
Younger guests were first to form a queue, but we also took some great pix for the bridal party and family-friends as the night progressed.
Reception-planning tip: staff the candy bar.

8 Jul 2017 There's 'portable', and then there's 'all-terrain'… The Matavera intake (road) provided a suitably steamy location for a jungle-themed celebration. We were pre-match entertainment, with the revellers rocking the booth before heading Rehab-way, then returning for kai-kai. A big meitaki to Aaron's family for your hospitality (awesome food), and to Poko for hooking us up.

24 Jun 2016 We've known Brynn and Ina for a few years now (small island), so it was an honour to be part of their wedding celebrations. We saw a number of familiar faces in the booth, either from the 'hood (Muri), TVN, or from our market sessions. Both the bride and groom were glowing. Highlight of the night was accidentally mass-printing the groom's solo; and then seeing the photos dutifully distributed (and treasured), by immediate family. Kia manuia.

6 Jul 2013 It was a 'breezy' eve for Raukura's birthday celebrations. We pitched into the wind, Pete brought along extra sandbags, and fingers were crossed… With all the family back on the Rock, the birthday girl made the most of the opportunity to grab pix with nearest and dearest. There were also a number of regular boothers on hand to induct newbies. Meitaki maata to the Newport-Ellison clan for rockin' the booth.

27 Apr 2013 …We set the booth alongside the reception marquee, opposite the outdoor bar (a great match), and about a 100m from the end of the runway. Passengers looking inland on the evening's Air NZ flight would have seen festivities in full swing - we had an equally stunning view of a 747 touching down.
Locals made the most of the booth and were quick to introduce visitors to '3-2-1 - Kia orana'.

Our Summer Makeover
When our clients come to us and ask for a website upgrade or redesign, the reason is often the same: they're too busy doing their incredible work to create a website that truly reflects their organization and mission.
We're always ready to help. Working closely with our account teams on strategy, our creative and tech teams develop beautiful websites and microsites that truly reflect our client's ethos, work and personality.
Not too long ago, we realized that like many of the organizations we work with, we'd filled our time with doing work that really mattered – helping our clients achieve their goals – and as a result, our website was out of date.
We were chomping at the bit to start formulating the new look and feel, but before we started churning out mood boards, wireframes and copy documents, we asked ourselves some important questions:
- Who is visiting our site, and what does he or she want to see?
- How do we want people to think about our work, our mission and our agency as a whole?
- What's the best way to convey the personality of our office?
- How can we present our comprehensive offerings and expertise in a digestible, succinct way?
After discussing these questions and comparing answers, we got busy building the Sanky site of our dreams: fun, engaging, beautiful, simple, accessible, responsive and seamless.
We admit, we're a little in love with our summer makeover – and we hope you like it, too.
Want to talk to us about website updates? Whether it's a full-fledged redesign, a microsite or some small updates, we'd love to discuss. Get in touch!

My favorite spot in Tallahassee - St. Michael's Pub on Gaines St.
A great friend from Tallahassee, FL called me last night. We spoke briefly, but I was tickled pink! She's desperate for a change in scenery, and is contemplating moving to San Francisco, or Chicago. How hard would it be to resist the urge to join her? Spontaneity is a character trait that I admire, and her readiness is inspiring. I've felt rather unsettled in Baton Rouge of late; moreover, I greatly miss my life in Tallahassee: the lights, the sounds, the smells. The people are incomparable. I know I'm glorifying the city's mediocrity, but the lonely idealize everything and reminisce about nothing. I'm beyond ready to pay that old town a visit. The last five months have felt like years with little resolve; there is too much of nothing exciting. My return is tardy. Tallahassee, I'll see you yet.
Some, but not all, of Tallahassee's finest.
Naturally, I've attached myself to a small array of potentially time consuming activities. Foremost and without exception, I'm working close to 10 hours a day. Weeknights are primarily devoted to spending time with our dog, Merlin. He's trapped inside while Matt and I are working and is psyched upon our homecoming. My greatest consolation is spending time in the kitchen. I'll spend a fair amount of the evening hovering over the stove while Merlin anticipates my clumsiness and laps up all of what I spill. Last night was no exception. My aforementioned nostalgia bred fierce sandwich cravings (pun certainly intended), like I would have back in Tallahassee. From cheap falafel and grilled vegetable pita's to house-made veggie burgers and creamy tempeh wraps, Tallahassee understands sandwiches and helped nourish my unhealthy obsession with bread and what lays in between. I understand sandwiches, even the simple ones.
Avocado, spinach and tomato with garlicky cilantro hummus and home-baked bread
A good sandwich starts off with great bread. For anyone interested in baking their own bread, but lacks the time and patience needed for traditional leavened loaves, I recommend purchasing Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois. With their method, there is no kneading, starter or proofing involved. Just mix your ingredients, allow two or more hours for rising, and you're ready to bake!
Sourdough buns pre- and post baking
For the sandwiches, I made sourdough buns with sesame seeds and dried thyme. They puffed up nicely! I split the loaves open to spread on Garlicky Cilantro Hummus (recipe included at the bottom of the post) and topped them with my always on-hand fixin's: spinach, tomato and avocado.
Garlicky Cilantro hummus, spinach leaves, sliced tomato and avocado with a sprinkle of black pepper
If you like cilantro, you'll love it in hummus.*
Garlicky Cilantro Hummus
2 cups of cooked chickpeas, or 1 (15oz) can
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice from half a large lemon
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
water for thinning (unless you like a chunkier hummus)
1 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro
Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt to a food processor or blender. Blend until well combined. Add water by the tablespoon until desired consistency is reached. Toss in the cilantro and pulse until it's chopped and you can see little green specks throughout.
For a spicier dip, add 2 teaspoons diced jalapeno with the cilantro and pulse until evenly distributed.
*Don't like cilantro? Reduce the garlic to 1 clove, add 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary and 1/2 cup of sun dried tomatoes for a sweeter and mellow hummus.

One of the things we're working on lately in our homeschool is note taking skills. So this week when we were learning about Jamestown I decided to make it a note taking activity. This is a method to use when your kids are first beginning to learn note taking. Even though I have several ages of children from 9th grade down to 3rd grade, they are all beginners more or less. The older ones have done it before, but let's just say we're still on fundamentals.
I'm going to lay out the whole lesson and how we proceeded.
- Choose a topic and "lecture" to take notes from.
- Teacher writes up notes somewhere students can see them.
- Teacher pauses the lecture frequently so the kids can catch up and get the notes written.
- Talk about the notes after the lecture is finished.
- Do something with the notes.
Our Topic
We are learning about the colonial time period in history and we're to Jamestown. So I found a video on YouTube about Jamestown. This one:
Start With Modeling
Nearly always when teaching a new skill, you want to start with modeling so in this lesson I took notes up on our chalkboard and the kids copied what I wrote. This is modeling. We've had several note taking sessions similar to this during this year so that the kids can practice.
On the board I am using the Cornell note taking method. I have chosen other note taking methods too on other assignments. I want my kids to see and try several methods and then allow them to chose the method that works best for them.
Also, a note about my chalkboard. I love my chalkboard, use it all the time, and like how it looks on my wall. But I know most people don't have big ol' chalkboards on their walls. You can model for your kids on your own piece of paper or on a whiteboard as well. It doesn't have to be on a chalkboard.
What should be in the notes?
The notes should contain the most important or interesting information. You don't need to write every word the speaker utters, but you need to write enough that you've got the facts. Again, knowing what to write takes practice. Here are some basics:
- Names of important people and why they are important.
- Names of important places, why they are important, where they are.
- Significant events and why the event was important. Often causes and effects would be included here too.
- Numbers like dates or population or months it took to cross the sea, and so on.
- Formulas if the topic is math or science.
- Definitions.
Pause Often
The tablet on the table in the picture below is our screen during school. You can use a lap top, a smart TV, whatever works for you.
I paused the 11 minute Jamestown video four or five times during this note taking exercise so the kids could catch up and not get frustrated. They aren't used to thinking or copying quickly yet. The act of putting information succinctly in a few notes is a skill that has to be practiced. Also, writing while someone is talking and still being able to focus on their words is a skill.
Obviously note taking skills are useful in college. But my husband used note taking skills all the time in the Army. He uses it now as a service writer for an auto mechanic shop. And I use it when I talk to people on the phone and during meetings.
Copy Work
The kids copied all of the notes I wrote. Again, copying is the first step when learning something new or difficult.
If I don't give them this extra help, they tend to throw their hands up in the air in frustration (yes, this literally happens at my house) and I get nothing out of them.
Not All Kids Learn the Same
Not all kids will need quite this much help. Some children need to be shown once and they're off. But three of the kids in these photos have dyslexia and other learning disabilities. (The youngest isn't writing independently at all yet, and I didn't make him take all of the notes. He did write some.) That's why we're still working on fundamentals. Everything in the writing and reading departments is years slower than kids without these struggles. But they can do it. We just have to practice the modeling step over and over for years.
In this lesson though, triumph of triumph, one of my boys added his own notes; something I hadn't written up on the board. Incredible. If you happen to have kids with learning disabilities you know this kind of thing means a real achievement.
Both the quick note taker and the struggling child are normal. Being able to readily digest and then regurgitate information is a talent. But if it's not your child's talent do not despair. He or she has other talents that, I'm sure, more than make up. I still struggle to split a log with an ax (after more than a decade of practice) but my dyslexic son had that mastered by age ten. Just one little example.
However, I can split wood with an ax and my son can write and take notes. He will probably not choose a career as a writer or academic any more than I will chose to become a lumberjack, but both of us will have the skills to make it in the world come what may. That's my goal, to make sure my children have the basic skills to succeed in the world, not to make them into something they are not.
Discussing the Notes
During the pauses in the video I tried to be quiet (it's not easy for me, I always want to interject my 2 cents) so they could have time to focus on the copying. But after we were done we talked about the video and with the notes there in front of us it was easier to remember what was in it. It's also a good idea to talk about the kind of information that you recorded in your notes. Did you write people's names? Why? Did you write down a date? Why? Don't assume that your kids will pick out these details and understand what information needs to be in notes intuitively.
We also colored these maps of Jamestown from Layers of Learning Unit 3-12 as a follow up activity. The maps reinforced the video and were a lighter and more fun end to the lesson than just copying notes off the board.
Doing Something With the Notes
Remember that the notes need to have a "point". In real life no one takes notes without a purpose. In school you may have to manufacture a purpose, but purpose there should be. This could range from using the notes to study for a test, writing a paper on the information in the notes, doing a project, giving a speech from note cards, or putting together a poster board display.
Next week (my kids don't know about it yet) they will be asked to write a short three paragraph report from their notes. I'm absolutely positive they will once again jump for joy. (sarcasm) I chose the report for two reasons.
- I'm not into crafts or poster boards, etc and neither are my kids (except Harrison and I will probably let him do a project instead since he's the young non-writing one.)
- The kids desperately need to work on putting together good paragraphs and short reports.
Note Taking Skills Summarized
To teach your children note taking skills you start by modeling. Find a lecture or give a lecture about a school topic you are learning about anyway. Write the notes up where your children can see them as the lecture proceeds. Pause often to allow your children to catch up. When you are finished, talk about the lecture, using the notes. Talk about what information you wrote in the notes and why. Finally, do something with the notes such as writing a report or doing a hands-on project.

Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa on Thursday announced several austerity measures, effective from Friday, meant to resuscitate the economy that include new levies and taxes on churches, imported groceries, fertiliser, and a ban on importation of secondhand clothes.
By Xolisani Ncube
Presenting his mid-term policy statement reviewing the 2015 National Budget in Parliament, Chinamasa also proposed plans to reduce government's wage bill by 40% as Treasury struggles to pay civil servants owing to a reduced revenue base and uncontrolled expenditure.
The minister reviewed downwards the projected economic growth rate from 3,2% to 1,5%, a move he attributed to poor rainfall and poor performance of the manufacturing sector.
"The move would free fiscal space to cover projects under the government's blueprint Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimAsset)," he said.
From January to June this year, Chinamasa said government had spent over $1,5 billion on civil servants' salaries,which was 80% of the total revenue collected.
"Cabinet has given a directive to the minister responsible for the Public Service and the salaries,which was 80% of the total revenue collected.
"Cabinet has given a directive to the minister responsible for the Public Service and the minister responsible for Finance to urgently propose remedial measures to gradually bring down the share of the wage bill in the budget from over 80% to under 40%," Chinamasa said.
"Cabinet will be considering the full package of necessary proposals in the next couple of weeks. The above interventions to manage the wage bill are meant to create the fiscal space necessary to enter medium to long-term growth for sustainable platforms for improved remuneration."
He said revenue projections for 2015 were $3,6 billion, down from a targeted $3,99 billion while expenditure was set to come down to $4 billion from $4,11 billion.
This would create a budget deficit of $400 million, which would be financed from domestic and external sources.
As a way of protecting the struggling local industry, Chinamasa removed certain groceries from travellers' rebate, mostly for commodities that can be obtained locally.
Among the groceries removed from the rebate list are sugar, maize meal and flour, among others.
Due to the collapse of industry and closure of companies, many people have been pushed into the informal sector and are selling various wares among them second-hand clothes and shoes.
But Chinamasa announced that he was banning the importation of such goods due to health-related challenges.
"I move to remove second-hand clothing and shoes from the open general import licence and any future importation of second-hand clothing and shoes will be liable to forfeiture and seizure," he said.
He said tourism was projected to grow by 5%, and mining by 3,5% on higher mineral output despite poor commodity prices.
However, he said the 2014/2015 agriculture season performance was below expectations owing to poor rains, and the sector would decline by 8,2%.
To stimulate growth in the mining sector which he said was now the country's major economic driver, Chinamasa proposed to reduce royalty charges for small-scale gold miners from 3% to 1%.
"Mining developments during the first half of 2015 indicate stronger performance to the end of the year, with mining growth projected above 3,5% against the initial projection of 3,1%," he said.
The minister said the country's imports stood at $3,1 billion from $3 billion recorded in the corresponding period last year, adding that the figure was likely to grow by 6% by year end.
As a way of reducing the import bill, the minister increased surtax on imported second-hand vehicles of five years and older to 35% from 25%.
He also announced plans to tax churches on their income-generating projects, but said tithes and offerings were exempted.
He said tax amnesty on defaulters would be further extended by four months to October.
Reacting to the budget review statement, Bikita West MP Munyaradzi Kereke (Zanu PF) said the introduction of tax on imported fertiliser would affect the cost of farming and the agricultural sector.
"This is regrettable and I appeal to government to relook into the issue so that we could stimulate growth of the sector," Kereke said.
He said government should not expect external funding to finance the budget deficit warning that stringent measures should be implemented to attract investment.
Kuwadzana East MP Nelson Chamisa (MDC-T) said Chinamasa's budget statement was "an insult on the poor and a declaration of war on vendors who sell second-hand clothes to make a living".
"He is declaring war with God, how can he tax the churches? This shows that he is desperate and has no clue of how to navigate this country from the current crisis," Chamisa said.
Hatfield MP Tapiwa Mashakada (MDC-T) said the budget statement lacked strategies to stimulate economic growth.
"The statement is the same old story . . . this government has failed to find a strategy to grow the economy.
"How can you tax churches and fertiliser when your economy is agro-based?" Mashakada questioned.
Thousands of unemployed Zimbabweans have resorted to vending and most of them sell second-hand clothes imported from all over the world.
Last week, Matabeleland South MP Priscila Misihairabwi-Mushonga (MDC) caused a stir in the National Assembly when she waved second-hand women's underwear as she implored Chinamasa to protect Zimbabweans against degrading imports.

Space X has launched a Dragon cargo capsule filled with supplies and experiments to the International Space Station. (ISS).
The cargo capsule blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on Monday at 4:30 PM Eastern launch time atop SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.

— SpaceX (@SpaceX) April 2, 2018
The pre-flown Dragon spacecraft was previously put to use in the CRS-8 mission in April 2016. The cargo capsule received refurbishment before taking part in the current mission. The booster on the Falcon 9 rocket was used to launch SpaceX's CRS-12 mission in August last year.
The Dragon spacecraft is filled with 5,800 lbs. (2,630 kilograms) of supplies and science experiments for the space station's Expedition 55 crew including critical materials to support science and research investigations to be performed by astronomers onboard the orbiting laboratory. The cargo capsule is scheduled to arrive at the ISS on Wednesday, April 4, at about 7:00 a.m. after a two-day orbital chase.
According to NASA, when the spacecraft will reach the ISS, Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai and NASA astronaut Scott Tingle will use the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to reach out the spacecraft and attach it to the orbiting laboratory.
The CRS-14 is SpaceX's fourteenth mission heading to the International Space Station as part of the company's first CRS contract with the U.S. space agency NASA, which was signed back in 2016. Dragon will return back to Earth after staying for one month at the International Space Station with more than 3,900 pounds of cargo. The spacecraft will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California.

Indian Summer Forest
Autumn is the best season to go to Canada,
when the leaves take on vibrant colours.
From mid-September to end of October, beech, oak, birch and of the course the famous maple trees start to change colour. The forest suddenly gets covered with very bright and bold yellows, oranges and red. The conifers and cedar trees remain green, which creates an even bigger contrast.
Walking on the fallen leaves releases a strong smell of wet earth, fresh wood, pine, musk and undefinable Canadian awesomeness! You will surely meet chirping squirrels and see a group of Canadian goose fly above you in V-formation. If you are lucky, you may also have a glimpse at a hare, partridge, pheasant or a bigger beast like a deer, moose or brown bear!
Two of the best areas to watch the foliage go colour crazy are New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
85% of New Brunswick land is forest and forestry is one of the region main industries. The Fundy national park has amazing views of the bay with the biggest tides on earth.
In Nova Scotia, the coves on the littoral and the hundreds of lakes in-land reflect the tree colours. Add a canoe and a log cabin and you get the perfect postcard photo.
This time of year is called the "Indian summer" because the first nations of Canada used the brief return of sunny days to prepare for the long and harsh winter. Temperatures in the day can reach 20 °C but the nights can be colder. It's an ideal time for hiking or hunting and end the day around a big fire outside. One tip from a local: birch bark burns really well and can help start any fire, even in wet weather. Also, it smells great!

An Unbiased View of seoPaid inclusion is really a search engine internet marketing strategy in itself, but also a tool of search engine optimization, because experts and corporations can test out diverse strategies to improving upon position and see the results typically within a couple of days, rather than waiting around months or months.

Businesses that make use of extremely aggressive methods could get their shopper Internet websites banned through the search benefits. In 2005, the Wall Avenue Journal reported on an organization, Site visitors Electrical power, which allegedly utilized high-chance methods and failed to reveal People challenges to its purchasers.
Search engine optimization could deliver an satisfactory return on investment decision. Nevertheless, search engines are usually not compensated for organic search targeted visitors, their algorithms adjust, and there won't be any guarantees of continued referrals. Resulting from this insufficient assures and certainty, a business that relies closely on search engine targeted visitors can put up with major losses In the event the search engines stop sending website visitors.

Rav Chaim Kanievsky, who was hospitalized yesterday at Mayanei Hayeshuva Medical Center in Bnei Brak after feeling unwell, was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit after his fever intensified at about noon today. Yesterday, doctors said that Rav Chaim would be released to his home for Shabbos, but the deterioration in his condition will require him to remain hospitalized.
"Rav Chaim's condition is stable," said Moshe Friedman, spokesman for Mayanei Hayeshuah. "He was transferred to the ICU because that is where he could get the absolute best medical treatment."
R' Chananiah Cholek, noted askan with Ezer Mizion, transported Rav Chaim yesterday after visiting him at his Rechov Rashbam home and determining that medical tests should be performed.

"We need more histories of important examples of nonviolent resistance and creative campaigning, and Defending Giants is a much-needed model of careful and serious reporting and analysis that fills this void. It also brings back to life the story of some of the most committed and capable environmentalists I've ever known, people who worked on a scale as epic as the forests they fought for."
-Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
"Defending Giants is a complicated story elegantly told, one full of fascinating characters with nuanced political positions that sometimes got lost in the heat of battle. More than that, it is a book that demonstrates how our easy resort to caricature has obscured the substance of what happened behind the North Coast's Redwood Curtain in the late twentieth century. Darren Speece has given us a history of environmental activism that simultaneously demonstrates the power of direct action protest to bring stakeholders to the table and ponders the importance of mediated compromise. At a moment when our environmental politics are deeply polarized, that might be the most useful contribution of all."
-Paul Sutter, from the Foreword
"Darren Speece's important new book on the battles to save the northern California redwoods in the 1980s and 1990s is a significant contribution to our understanding of environmentalism. . . . It is also the finest book written on the history of American environmentalism in the last five years. . . . Speece paints a complex picture of a grassroots movement with a useful attention to both detail and clear writing that should spawn conversations among both historians and activist communities on the lessons to be learned from the redwoods. . . . Defending Giants is an outstanding contribution to the historiography of environmentalism."
"Eloquent, inspiring, eminently readable nonfiction with precious lessons for those fighting the ever-greater environmental destruction wrought by corporate greed. . . . A tale fully relevant to here and now."
-Robert James Parsons, Truthout
"Speece's work on this local battle is an excellent contribution to the larger historiography of the environmental movement."
-James G. Lewis, Western Historical Quarterly
"[A] wonderfully written, extremely engaging story. Speece continually pushes his history in a variety of important directions. It is these broader connections, linking ecologies and economies, locals, lawyers, and loggers, and a relatively small forest in northern California to the nation's capital in Washington, D.C., that make Defending Giants an important book."
-Neil M. Maher, American Historical Review
"A reminder of the power of the traditional approaches to historical research. . . . Books like Defending Giants remind the reader of the insight to be gained by focusing on specific historical actors. Indeed, environmental history is, at its heart, the interactions among people and nature, as this dramatic account of environmental politics reminds us."
-Darren F. Speece, Environmental Values
"Speece's book is well argued, and he navigates a diverse body of sources with a skilled hand. . . . Apt and insightful, he tackles head-on the complexity of the Redwood Wars while making a strong case for their enduring significance."
-Daniel Rinn, Environment and History

Pasadena, Calif. - The Tournament of Roses parade precedes the Rose Bowl. Fans once cheered on ostriches and an elephant v. camel race. The venue used to print its own currency, and you could get in for 2 bucks once upon a time.

Here's a sneak peek of the field, the locker room UGA will use and other cool nooks and crannies in this storied venue:
The field is a rye/Bermuda mix created in November/December especially for the Rose Bowl. It's grown elsewhere and shipped to the stadium in 700-foot rolls weighing 75,000 pounds. Crews use 340 gallons of paint to customize the field, 300 in the end zones for each team name and 40 in center. Representatives from each team oversee the paint colors to ensure accuracy.
Inside, the teams are accorded identical amenities in their respective locker rooms. If Team A makes a request for a certain item, the Rose Bowl makes it available so long as Team B has the option of receiving it as well.
The present-day Rose Bowl seats about 90,000 people. Its previous iteration, completed in 1922, sat 57,000.
Radio broadcasts started in 1926. World War II moved the game to the Duke University campus in 1942 for one game only. The annual Rose Bowl resumed in Pasadena in 1946. The following year saw the first local telecast and 1968 marked the first live satellite beaming of Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game around the world.
The first Super Bowl to be played there was in 1977.

Stagger Lee at Schlafly Thursday
I saw an eye-catching poster when I walked into Saint Louis Public Library's Schlafly Branch earlier this week. It advertised an upcoming visit by the author and the artist behind the recent graphic novel Stagger Lee. This post on their blog covers the upcoming signing. It will happen this Thursday evening at the Schlafly Branch. Star Clipper Comics will host them Saturday. This announcement from Left Bank Books, another sponsor, has more information. I also found the library announcement.
Authors @ Your Library presents Derek McCulloch and Shepherd Hendrix
7:00PM – 8:30PM The St. Louis Public Library is pleased to host Image Comics author Derek McCulloch and artist Shepherd Hendrix for a special presentation and book signing of their new graphic novel Stagger Lee. This event is free and open to the public. Left Bank Books will provide books for purchase. Wear a Stetson hat and win a prize! Stagger Lee tells a forgotten story from St. Louis' history: how a small-time criminal became the hero of a hundred songs by everyone from blues pioneers like Mississippi John Hurt and Furry Lewis to contemporary rock icons like Nick Cave and Beck. Stagger Lee is a character of American folklore whose story evolved through oral transmission, a transformation of the news of the day into larger than life myth. On Christmas night, 1895, "Stag" Lee Shelton shot Billy Lyons dead in the midst of a heated argument over a Stetson hat, and inadvertently created a story that continues to evolve to this day.
The Post-Dispatch reviewed it earlier this year. It was metioned favorably by Greil Marcus, the man who should mention you if you wrote or sang about Stagger Lee. (I still need to read Mystery Train.)
While I am mostly unfamiliar with graphic novels, I like murder ballads, and Stagger Lee is a favorite legend. Thursday is shaping up fairly well, and I am hopeful that I will make it to see yet another metamorphosis of this legend born in Saint Louis.

Just over five years ago, a horrific tragedy happened in Newtown, CT. This happened twenty minutes away from where I live. My son was in first grade as were the children shot on that fateful day, so I easily related to the extreme grief the parents must have felt.
I invite you to consider some interesting, but not surprising, facts regarding Special Education Services in Newtown, CT.
In 2011, one year prior to the tragedy, about 30 to 40 parents contacted state representatives about their dissatisfaction with the district's special education services. Some parents complained of being treated disrespectfully and hostilly. Some described that school officials refused to recognize the recommendations of experts outside the district. Some described planning and placement team meetings, or PPTs, were not running properly – but in a way that diminishes parent's ability to be full and equal members. Also, some special education services were being denied to their children.
The situation was significant enough that two state representatives, one from each political party, attempted to intervene on the parent's behalf. But, the state department of education did not find sufficient evidence of noncompliance with IDEA laws, although they admitted that some of the reports, if true, described hostile and unprofessional behavior on the part of the school district.
Part of Adam Lanza's history is that his mother pulled him out of school because she was tired of battling the Newtown Schools. According to her sister "she didn't feel they knew what to do with him. She really BATTLED with the district to get help for him." So, not only did the district NOT adequately address Adam Lanza's disabilities according to Nancy Lanza, but they were legally allowed to treat parents, like Nancy Lanza, with hostility. So much so that she gave up on the Newtown school's ability to give her son the help he obviously needed.
Was the school district's apathy and hostility a contributing factor in the tragic events of December 14, 2012? I think it was.
