Mother Stories
by Maud Lindsay
She wanted to call her mother to see him; but he said: "Oh! no; we are having such a nice time together, and she's busy, you know." So the little girl did not call; and the mother, who was making a dress of fine lace for her darling, did not dream that a goblin was in the little white room.
The goblin did not make any noise, you know, for he tip-toed all the time, as if he were afraid; and if he heard a sound he would jump. But he was a merry goblin, and he amused the little girl so much that she did not notice the change in her dear room.
The curtains grew dingy, the floor dusty, and the ceiling looked as if it might have been made of a rain cloud; but the child played on, and got out all her treasures to show to her visitor.
The pansies drooped and faded, the white dove hid its head beneath its wing and moaned; and the last pearl on the precious string grew dark when the goblin touched it with his smutty fingers.
"Oh, dear me," said the little girl when she saw this, "I must call my mother; for these are the pearls that I must wear to the king's court, when he sends for me."
"Never mind," said the goblin, "we can wash it, and if it isn't just as white as before, what difference does it make about one pearl?"
"But mother says that they all must be as fair as the morning," insisted the little girl, eady to cry. "And what will she say when she sees this one?"
"You shut the door, then," said the goblin, pointing to the door that had never been closed, "and I'll wash the pearl." So the little girl ran to close the door, and the goblin began to rub the pearl; but it only seemed to grow darker. Now the door had been open so long that it was hard to move, and it creaked on its hinges as the little girl tried to close it. When the mother heard this she looked up to see what was the matter. She had been thinking about the dress which she was making; but when she saw the closing door, her heart stood still with fear; for she knew that if it once closed tight she might never be able to open it again.
She dropped her fine laces and ran towards the door, calling, "Little Daughter! Little Daughter! Where are you?" and she reached out her hands to stop the door. But as soon as the little girl heard that loving voice she answered:—
"Mother, oh! Mother! I need you so! my pearl is turning black and everything is wrong!" and, flinging the door wide open, she ran into her mother's arms.
When the two went together into the little room, the goblin had gone. The pansies now bloomed again, and the white dove cooed in peace; but there was much work for the mother and daughter, and they rubbed and scrubbed and washed and swept and dusted, till the room was so beautiful that you would not have known that a goblin had been there—except for the one pearl which was a little blue always, even when the king was ready for Little Daughter to come to his court, although that was not until she was a very old woman.
As for the door, it was never closed again; for Little Daughter and her mother put two golden hearts against it and nothing in this world could have shut it then.
THE MINSTREL'S SONG
MOTTO FOR THE MOTHER
The child must listen well if he would hear.
—Blow's Commentaries.
Once, long, long ago, there lived in a country over the sea a king called Rene, who married a lovely princess whose name was Imogen.
Imogen came across the seas to the king's beautiful country, and all his people welcomed her with great joy because the king loved her.
"What can I do to please thee to-day?" the king asked her every morning; and one day the queen answered that she would like to hear all the minstrels in the king's country, for they were said to be the finest in the world.
As soon as the king heard this, he called his heralds and sent them everywhere through his land to sound their trumpets and call aloud:—
"Hear, ye minstrels! King Rene, our gracious king, bids ye come to play at his court on May-day, for love of the Queen Imogen."
The minstrels were men who sang beautiful songs and played on harps; and long ago they went about from place to place, from castle to castle, from palace to cot, and were always sure of a welcome wherever they roamed.
They could sing of the brave deeds that the knights had done, and of wars and battles, and could tell of the mighty hunters who hunted in the great forests, and of fairies and goblins, better than a story book; and because there were no story books in those days, everybody, from little children to the king, was glad to see them come.
So when the minstrels heard the king's message, they made haste to the palace on May-day; and it so happened that some of them met on the way and decided to travel together.
One of these minstrels was a young man named Harmonius; and while the others talked of the songs that they would sing, he gathered the wild flowers that grew by the roadside.
"I can sing of the drums and battles," said the oldest minstrel, whose hair was white and whose step was slow.
"I can sing of ladies and their fair faces," said the youngest minstrel; but Harmonius whispered: "Listen! listen!"
"Oh! we hear nothing but the wind in the tree-tops," said the others. "We have no time to stop and listen."
Then they hurried on and left Harmonius; and he stood under the trees and listened, for he heard something very sweet. At last he knew that it was the wind singing of its travels through the wide world; telling how it raced over the blue sea, tossing the waves and rocking the white ships, and hurried on to the hills, where the trees made harps of their branches, and then how it blew down into the valleys, where all the flowers danced gayly in time to the tune.
Harmonius could understand every word:—
"Nobody follows me where I go, Over the mountains or valleys below; Nobody sees where the wild winds blow, Only the Father in Heaven can know."
That was the chorus of the wind's song. Harmonius listened until he knew the whole song from beginning to end; and then he ran on and soon reached his friends, who were still talking of the grand sights that they were to see.
"We shall see the king and speak to him," said the oldest minstrel.
"And his golden crown and the queen's jewels," added the youngest; and Harmonius had no chance to tell of the wind's song, although he thought about it time and again.
Now their path led them through the wood; and as they talked, Harmonius said:—
"Hush! listen!" But the others answered:—
"Oh! that is only the sound of the brook trickling over the stones. Let us make haste to the king's court."
But Harmonius stayed to hear the song that the brook was singing, of journeying through mosses and ferns and shady ways, and of tumbling over the rocks in shining waterfalls on its way to the sea.
"Rippling and bubbling through shade and sun, On to the beautiful sea I run; Singing forever, though none be near, For God in Heaven can always hear,"
sang the little brook. Harmonius listened until he knew every word of the song, and then he hurried on.
When he reached the others, he found them still talking of the king and queen, so he could not tell them of the brook. As they talked, he heard something again that was wonderfully sweet, and he cried: "Listen! listen!"
"Oh! that is only a bird!" the others replied. "Let us make haste to the king's court!"
But Harmonius would not go, for the bird sang so joyfully that Harmonius laughed aloud when he heard the song.
It was singing a song of green trees, and in every tree a nest, and in every nest eggs! Oh! the bird was so gay as it sang:—
"Merrily, merrily, listen to me, Flitting and flying from tree to tree. Nothing fear I, by land or sea, For God in Heaven is watching me"
"Thank you, little bird," said Harmonius; "you have taught me a song." And he made haste to join his comrades, for by this time they were near the palace.
When they had gone in, they received a hearty welcome, and were feasted in the great hall before they came before the king.
The king and queen sat on their throne together. The king thought of the queen and the minstrels; but the queen thought of her old home, and of the butterflies she had chased when she was a little child.
One by one the minstrels played before them.
The oldest minstrel sang of battles and drums, just as he had said he would; and the youngest minstrel sang of ladies and their fair faces, which pleased the court ladies very much.
Then came Harmonius. And when he touched his harp and sang, the song sounded like the wind blowing, the sea roaring, and the trees creaking; then it grew very soft, and sounded like a trickling brook dripping on stones and running over little pebbles; and while the king and queen and all the court listened in surprise, Harmonius' song grew sweeter, sweeter, sweeter. It was as if you heard all the birds in Spring. And then the song was ended.
The queen clapped her hands, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the king came down from his throne to ask Harmonius if he came from fairyland with such a wonderful song. But Harmonius answered:—
"Three singers sang along our way, And I learned the song from them to-day."
Now, all the other minstrels looked up in surprise when Harmonius said this; and the oldest minstrel said to the king: "Harmonius is dreaming! We heard no music on our way to-day."
And the youngest minstrel said: "Harmonius is surely mad! We met nobody on our way to-day."
But the queen said: "That is an old, old song. I heard it when I was a little child; and I can name the singers three." And so she did. Can you?
DUST UNDER THE RUG
Well for the child, well for the man, to whom throughout life the voice of conscience is the prophecy and pledge of an abiding union with God!
FROEBEL.
There was once a mother, who had two little daughters; and, as her husband was dead and she was very poor, she worked diligently all the time that they might be well fed and clothed. She was a skilled worker, and found work to do away from home, but her two little girls were so good and so helpful that they kept her house as neat and as bright as a new pin.
One of the little girls was lame, and could not run about the house; so she sat still in her chair and sewed, while Minnie, the sister, washed the dishes, swept the floor, and made the home beautiful.
Their home was on the edge of a great forest; and after their tasks were finished the little girls would sit at the window and watch the tall trees as they bent in the wind, until it would seem as though the trees were real persons, nodding and bending and bowing to each other.
In the Spring there were the birds, in the Summer the wild flowers, in Autumn the bright leaves, and in Winter the great drifts of white snow; so that the whole year was a round of delight to the two happy children. But one day the dear mother came home sick; and then they were very sad. It was Winter, and there were many things to buy. Minnie and her little sister sat by the fire and talked it over, and at last Minnie said:—
"Dear sister, I must go out to find work, before the food gives out." So she kissed her mother, and, wrapping herself up, started from home. There was a narrow path leading through the forest, and she determined to follow it until she reached some place where she might find the work she wanted.
As she hurried on, the shadows grew deeper. The night was coming fast when she saw before her a very small house, which was a welcome sight. She made haste to reach it, and to knock at the door.
Nobody came in answer to her knock. When she had tried again and again, she thought that nobody lived there; and she opened the door and walked in, thinking that she would stay all night.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she started back in surprise; for there before her she saw twelve little beds with the bed-clothes all tumbled, twelve little dirty plates on a very dusty table, and the floor of the room so dusty that I am sure you could have drawn a picture on it.
"Dear me!" said the little girl, "this will never do!" And as soon as she had warmed her hands, she set to work to make the room tidy.
She washed the plates, she made up the beds, she swept the floor, she straightened the great rug in front of the fireplace, and set the twelve little chairs in a half circle around the fire; and, just as she finished, the door opened and in walked twelve of the queerest little people she had ever seen. They were just about as tall as a carpenter's rule, and all wore yellow clothes; and when Minnie saw this, she knew that they must be the dwarfs who kept the gold in the heart of the mountain.
"Well!" said the dwarfs all together, for they always spoke together and in rhyme,
"Now isn't this a sweet surprise? We really can't believe our eyes!"
Then they spied Minnie, and cried in great astonishment:—
"Who can this be, so fair and mild? Our helper is a stranger child."
Now when Minnie saw the dwarfs, she came to meet them. "If you please," she said, "I'm little Minnie Grey; and I'm looking for work because my dear mother is sick. I came in here when the night drew near, and—" here all the dwarfs laughed, and called out merrily:—
"You found our room a sorry sight, But you have made it clean and bright."
They were such dear funny little dwarfs! After they had thanked Minnie for her trouble, they took white bread and honey from the closet and asked her to sup with them.
While they sat at supper, they told her that their fairy housekeeper had taken a holiday, and their house was not well kept, because she was away.
They sighed when they said this; and after supper, when Minnie washed the dishes and set them carefully away, they looked at her often and talked among themselves. When the last plate was in its place they called Minnie to them and said:—
"Dear mortal maiden will you stay All through our fairy's holiday? And if you faithful prove, and good, We will reward you as we should."
Now Minnie was much pleased, for she liked the kind dwarfs, and wanted to help them, so she thanked them, and went to bed to dream happy dreams.
Next morning she was awake with the chickens, and cooked a nice breakfast; and after the dwarfs left, she cleaned up the room and mended the dwarfs' clothes. In the evening when the dwarfs came home, they found a bright fire and a warm supper waiting for them; and every day Minnie worked faithfully until the last day of the fairy housekeeper's holiday.
That morning, as Minnie looked out of the window to watch the dwarfs go to their work, she saw on one of the window panes the most beautiful picture she had ever seen.
A picture of fairy palaces with towers of silver and frosted pinnacles, so wonderful and beautiful that as she looked at it she forgot that there was work to be done, until the cuckoo clock on the mantel struck twelve.
Then she ran in haste to make up the beds, and wash the dishes; but because she was in a hurry she could not work quickly, and when she took the broom to sweep the floor it was almost time for the dwarfs to come home.
"I believe," said Minnie aloud, "that I will not sweep under the rug to-day. After all, it is nothing for dust to be where it can't be seen!" So she hurried to her supper and left the rug unturned.
Before long the dwarfs came home. As the rooms looked just as usual, nothing was said; and Minnie thought no more of the dust until she went to bed and the stars peeped through the window.
Then she thought of it, for it seemed to her that she could hear the stars saying:—
"There is the little girl who is so faithful and good"; and Minnie turned her face to the wall, for a little voice, right in her own heart, said:—
"Dust under the rug! dust under the rug!"
"There is the little girl," cried the stars, "who keeps home as bright as star-shine."
"Dust under the rug! dust under the rug!" said the little voice in Minnie's heart.
"We see her! we see her!" called all the stars joyfully.
"Dust under the rug! dust under the rug!" said the little voice in Minnie's heart, and she could bear it no longer. So she sprang out of bed, and, taking her broom in her hand, she swept the dust away; and lo! under the dust lay twelve shining gold pieces, as round and as bright as the moon.
"Oh! oh! oh!" cried Minnie, in great surprise; and all the little dwarfs came running to see what was the matter.
Minnie told them all about it; and when she had ended her story, the dwarfs gathered lovingly around her and said:—
"Dear child, the gold is all for you, For faithful you have proved and true; But had you left the rug unturned, A groat was all you would have earned. Our love goes with the gold we give, And oh! forget not while you live, That in the smallest duty done Lies wealth of joy for every one."
Minnie thanked the dwarfs for their kindness to her; and early next morning she hastened home with her golden treasure, which bought many good things for the dear mother and little sister.
She never saw the dwarfs again; but she never forgot their lesson, to do her work faithfully; and she always swept under the rug.
THE STORY OF GRETCHEN
Oh! like a wreath, let Christmas mirth To-day encircle all the earth, And bind the nations with the love That Jesus brought from heaven above.
It was almost Christmas time when one of the white ships that sail across the sea brought a little German girl named Gretchen, with her father and mother, to find a new home in our dear land.
Gretchen knew all about Christmas. She had heard the story of the loving Christ Child over and over, and in her home in Germany she had kept His birthday and enjoyed it ever since she could remember.
Every year, a little before Christmas, her shoes had been placed in the garden for Rupert, who is one of Santa Claus's German helpers, to fill, and every year she had found a Christmas tree lighted for her on Christmas Day. She wondered a little, as she came across the ocean, how she would keep Christmas in the new country; and she wondered still more, when they reached a great city, and had their "boxes" carried up so many stairs to a little room in a boarding-house.
Gretchen's mother did not like boarding-houses—no, indeed!—and their first thought was to find a place where they might feel at home; but the very next morning after their long journey the dear father was too ill to lift his head from the pillow, and Gretchen and her mother were very sad for many days. Up so high in a boarding-house is not pleasant (even if you do seem nearer the stars) when somebody you love is sick; and then, too, Gretchen began to think that Santa Claus and Rupert had forgotten her; for when she set her two little wooden shoes outside the door, they were never filled with goodies, and people stumbled over them and scolded.
The tears would roll down Gretchen's fat, rosy cheeks, and fall into the empty shoes, and she decided that the people in America did not keep Christmas, and wished she was in her own Germany again. One day, however, a good woman in the house felt sorry for the lonely little German girl, who could speak no English, and she asked Gretchen's mother if Gretchen might go with her to see the beautiful stores. She was only a poor woman, and had no presents to give away; but she knew how to be kind to Gretchen, and she took her hand and smiled at her very often as they hurried along the crowded street.
It was the day before Christmas, and throngs of people were moving here and there, and Gretchen was soon bewildered, and she was jostled and pushed until she was tired; but at last they stepped into a store which made her blue eyes open wide, for it was a toy store, and the most beautiful place she had ever seen. There were toys in that store that had come across the sea like Gretchen; there were lovely dolls from France, who were spending their first Christmas away from home; there were woolly sheep, fine painted soldiers, and dainty furniture, and a whole host of wonderful toys marked very carefully, "Made in Germany"; and even the Japanese, from their island in the great ocean, had sent their funny slant-eyed dolls to help us keep Christmas.
Oh! it was splendid to be in the toyshop the day before Christmas! All the tin soldiers stood up so straight and tall, looking as if they were just ready to march when the big drums and the little drums, which hung over their heads, should call them.
The rocking horses, which are always saddled, were waiting to gallop away. The tops were anxious to spin, and the balls really rolled about sometimes, because it was so hard for them to keep still.
The fine lady dolls were dressed in their best. One of them was a princess, and wore a white satin dress, and had a crown on her head. She sat on a throne in one of the windows, with all the other dolls around her; and it was in this very window that Gretchen saw a baby doll, which made her forget all the rest. It was a real baby doll, not nearly so fine as most of the others, but with a look on its face as if it wanted to be loved; and Gretchen's warm German heart went out to it, for little mothers are the same all the world over.
Such a dear baby doll! She must have been made for a Christmas gift, Gretchen thought; and if the good giver came to this queer American land, he surely would find her. How could she let him know where she was? She thought about it all the way home, and all day long, till the gas was lighted down in the great city and the stars were lighted up above, and the time of his coming drew very near.
The father was better; but the mother had said with tears in her eyes, that there could be no Christmas tree for them that year. So Gretchen did not worry them, but she wrapped herself up in a blanket and shawl, and, taking her shoes in her hand, she crept down the stairs, through the door, out to the wooden stoop. There had been a light fall of snow that day, but it was a mild Christmas, and Gretchen set her shoes evenly together, and then sat down beside them; for she had made up her mind to watch them until Santa Claus came by.
All over the city the bells were ringing,—calling "Merry Christmas" to each other and to the world; and they sang so sweetly to little Gretchen that they sang her to sleep that Christmas Eve.
It was hundreds and hundreds of years since the Christ Child slept in the manger; but this same night in the great city a little American girl named Margaret had her heart so full of His love and joy that she wanted to make everybody happy for the dear Christ's sake.
She had waked up early the day before Christmas, and all day long she had been doing loving deeds; and when evening came, and the bells began to ring, she started with a basket of toys to a mission church, where she was to help Santa Claus by giving gifts to the children of the poor.
Her papa was with her, and they were so glad that they sang gay Christmas carols, and kept time to them with their feet as they hurried down the street, right by the wooden stoop, just as Gretchen fell asleep by her empty shoes. The moon had seen those empty shoes, and was filling them with moonbeams. The stars had seen them, and peeped into them with pity; and when Margaret and her father saw them they cried out to each other, for they had been in Germany, and they knew that the little owner was waiting for the good Saint Nicholas.
"What can we give her?" whispered Margaret's papa, as he looked down at his bundles; but Margaret knew, for she took from her basket a baby doll—one that looked as if it wanted to be loved—and laid it tenderly across the wooden shoes. Then Margaret lifted a corner of the blanket from Gretchen's rosy face and shouted "Merry Christmas!" with so much heartiness that the little girl woke with a start to find, not Margaret and her papa, for they had run away, but, oh! wonder of wonders! the dearest Christmas gift that ever came to a homesick little girl, and made her feel at home.
Oh! all the bells were singing and ringing, and Margaret and her papa answered them with their merry Christmas carol, as they sped on their way.
"Carol, brothers, carol! Carol merrily! Carol the glad tidings, Carol cheerily! And pray a gladsome Christmas To all our fellowmen, Carol, brothers, carol! Christmas Day again."
THE KING'S BIRTHDAY
Let the child feel Christ is near him; By your faith will grow his own; Death nor danger will affright him If he never feels alone.
Little Carl and his mother came from their home in the country one sweet summer day, because it was the king's birthday, and all the city was to be glad and gay, and the king would ride on his fine gray horse for the people to see.
Little Carl had gathered a very fine bunch of flowers to throw before the king. He had marigolds and pinks and pansies, and they had all grown in his mother's garden.
This was a great day for little boy Carl, and before he started from home he told everything goodbye,—the brindle calf and the mooley cow and the sheep and little white lambs.
"Good-bye!" he said; "I am going to see the king."
The way was long, but Carl did not complain. He trudged bravely on by his mother's side, holding the flowers tightly in his little hand, and looking out of his great blue eyes for the king, in case the king should ride out to meet them.
Every now and then Carl wished for his father, who was obliged to work in the fields all day, and who had been up and away before Carl was awake. Carl thought of the fine sights his father was missing, especially when they came to the city, where the flags were flying from every steeple and housetop and window.
There were as many people in the city as there were birds in the country; and when the drums beat, the crowd rushed forward and everybody called at once: "The king! the king! Long live the king!"
Carl's mother lifted him up in her arms that he might see, The king rode slowly along on his great gray horse, with all his fine ladies and gentlemen behind him; and little Carl threw his flowers with the rest and waved his cap in his hand.
He felt sorry for his flowers after he had thrown them, because they were trampled under the horses' feet and the king didn't care; and after that he felt very tired, and his little hot hand slipped from his mother's and he was carried away in the crowd.
He thought that his mother would surely come. But there were only strange faces about him, and he was such a little lad that nobody noticed him; and at last he was left behind, all alone.
He was very miserable, and the tears rolled down his cheeks; but he remembered that it was the king's birthday, and that everybody must be glad, so he wiped the tears away as he trudged along.
There were wonderful houses along the street, with great gardens in front; and Carl thought that they must belong to the king, but he did not want to go in. They were all too fine for him. But at last he reached one which stood off by itself and had a tall, tall steeple and great doors, through which hundreds of people were coming.
"Perhaps my mamma is there," thought little Carl. After he had watched all the people come out, and had not seen her, he went up the white marble steps and through the doors, and found himself all alone in a very beautiful place.
The roof of the house was held up by great strong pillars, and the floor had as many patterns on it as his mother's patchwork; and on every side he saw windows,—beautiful windows like picture books,—and when he had seen one, he wanted to see another, as you do when you are looking at picture books.
Some of the windows had jewels and crowns upon them; some had sheaves of lilies; and others had lovely faces and men with harps; and at last he came to one great window which was different from the rest and lovelier than any of them.
The other windows were like picture books, but this one was like home; for there were sheep in it and flowers, and a dear, gentle Man, with a loving face, and He had a lamb in His arms.
When little Carl looked at this window, he crept very close under it, and, laying his head on his arm, sobbed himself to sleep.
While he slept, the sunbeams came through the window and made bright circles round his head; and the white doves that lived in the church tower flew through an open window to look at him.
"It is good to live in the church tower," cooed the white doves to each other, "for the bells are up there; and then we can fly down here and see the dear Christ's face. See! here is one of his little ones!"
"Coo, coo," said the white doves softly; "we cannot speak so loudly as the bells, nor make ourselves heard so far; but we can fly where we please, and they must stay always up there."
All this cooing did not wake little boy Carl, for he was dreaming a beautiful dream about a king who had a face like the Good Man in the window, and who was carrying Carl in His arms instead of a lamb, and was taking him to his mother; and just as he dreamed that they had reached her, Carl woke up, for he heard somebody talking in the church.
He lay still and listened, for this seemed part of the dream. Somebody was talking about him, and the words were very plain to Carl:—
"Dear Father in Heaven, I have lost my little boy. I am like Mary seeking for the Christ Child. For His sake, give me my little child!"
Carl knew that voice, and in an instant he ran out crying:—
"Mother! mother! here am I!"
And in all the joy of the king's birth day, there was no joy so great as theirs.

Róg () ist ein kleiner Ort in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren. Es handelt sich um einen Wohnplatz in der Ortschaft Harsz ("przysiółek wsi Harsz", Haarszen, 1936 bis 1945 Haarschen) innerhalb der Landgemeinde Pozezdrze (Possessern, 1938 bis 1945 Großgarten) im Powiat Węgorzewski (Kreis Angerburg).

Geographische Lage
Róg liegt im Nordosten der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren am Westufer des Jezioro Mały Harsz (Kleiner Haarschen See), sechs Kilometer südlich der Kreisstadt Węgorzewo (Angerburg).

Geschichte
Der seinerzeit Roggen genannte Ort wurde als Kleinsiedlung von acht Hufen als Uferdorf gegründet und erstmals im Jahre 1570 erwähnt. Damals hatten sich die beiden einzigen Siedler beim Fürsten über ihr erhöhtes Handscharwerk beschwert. Im Jahre 1598 werden fünf Bauern und ein Gärtner im Ort genannt.

Das Dorf Roggen bestand vor 1945 aus lediglich ein paar Höfen. Im Jahre 1874 wurde das Dorf in den neu errichteten Amtsbezirk Haarszen integriert, der – zwischen 1936 und 1945 in "Amtsbezirk Haarschen" umbenannt – bis 1945 bestand und zum Kreis Angerburg im Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen der preußischen Provinz Ostpreußen gehörte. Im Jahre 1910 zählte Roggen 37 Einwohner.

Am 30. September 1928 gab Roggen seine Eigenständigkeit auf und schloss sich mit Haarszen und dem Gutsbezirk Numeiten () zur neuen Landgemeinde zusammen. 1936 änderte man die Ortsnamensschreibweise von Haarszen in "Haarschen".

In Kriegsfolge kam das Dorf 1945 mit dem südlichen Ostpreußen zu Polen und trägt seither die polnische Ortsbezeichnung "Róg". Heute ist es ein Wohnplatz der Ortschaft Harsz im Verbund der Landgemeinde Pozezdrze (Possessern, 1938 bis 1945 Großgarten) im Powiat Węgorzewski (Kreis Angerburg).

Kirche
Kirchlich war Roggen bis 1945 in die evangelische Kirche Possessern bzw. in die katholische Kirche Zum Guten Hirten Angerburg eingepfarrt.

Heute gehört der kleine Ort zur katholischen Pfarrei in Possessern und zur evangelischen Pfarrei in Giżycko (Lötzen), die in Possessern eine Predigtstelle unterhält.

Verkehr
Verkehrstechnisch liegt Róg abseits, und ist nur über eine Landwegverbindung von Okowizna (Numeiten) zu erreichen. Eine Bahnanbindung existiert nicht.

The pyridine adduct of bis(benzoylacetonato-O, O') copper(II) crystallises in both its cis- and trans-isomers within the same crystal. Copper( II) exhibits square pyramidal coordination geometry in both isomers with weak coordination of pyridine. The square planes of the isomers are mutually orthogonal, forming a square grid, in the channels of which the pyridine molecules are stacked, approximately perpendicular to the c-axis. Pyridine is readily lost from crystals unprotected by pyridine solvent, forming a crystalline powder. This powder absorbs pyridine vapour to reform microcrystalline bis(benzoylacetonato) pyridine-copper(II).


Robert Clack School recognises that some of its students may require extra support and resources to realise their full academic, personal and social potential and is committed to providing pupils with a continuum of support which will ensure full access and inclusion to the National Curriculum. These aims should be considered as part of a whole school approach to Special Educational Needs. The SEN department works in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team, Learning Community Team Leaders, Subject Leaders and all staff together with Parents/Carers, pupils and external agencies in responding to pupils' educational needs.
The school is committed to valuing the individual needs and contributions of every pupil to the school community and has high expectations of all pupils, including those with SEN. In line with the Code of Practice (2015) pupils with SEN are fully integrated within all curriculum areas. Our aim is to support all pupils to become independent learners and develop their skills for life.
The code defines four broad areas of need although, in practice, a child may often have needs in more than one area.
All pupils are actively encouraged to fully participate in all aspects of school life including sports, performing arts, debate, school council and school trips, including foreign residential.
The School recognises the importance of forging strong home/school links to ensure the best outcomes for pupils with SEN. Consequently we undertake to meet formally with parents/carers and pupils three times per year to assess progress and provision. However, parents/carers are welcome, and encouraged, to contact the School at any time.

-The cycle of failure for underperforming schools and districts can be interrupted and reversed; however, achieving this will take courage, fortitude, time and endurance.
-In many turnaround situations, education provides hope, vision and the means to an otherwise dismal future.
-A turnaround must be viewed as a "lifesaving" endeavor.
-Underperforming schools are often held hostage by a minority that have been allowed to shape and sustain a climate and culture of failure. This includes students and staff alike.
-Governing Boards, administration and staff in underperforming districts and schools desire positive change, but at times must be empowered by outside analysis, consultation, goal setting and monitoring.
-Strong leadership at the district and site level are key to establishing and sustaining successful turnaround.
-A site administrator's ability to be visible and "connect" with students is critical to success at the middle school and high school levels.
-Establishing a safe, orderly environment is the critical first step.
-Difficult decisions in placement and retention of personnel are a reality to achieve a successful turnaround.
-Establishing and monitoring the right data points longitudinally at the district, site and instructional level are imperative to success.
-Factors and circumstances leading to an underperforming school or district are often embedded as habits of mind and behaviors that have evolved into "norms" and tend toward returning to status-quo.
-Narrowing and sustaining the focus of a school are critical to improvement.
-Sustained positive results are possible only when systemic changes are made to support success for all stakeholders, including district, site and maintenance.
-Celebrating success is a critical and often overlooked turnaround component.
-Principals must be given autonomy within a structured framework that defines the district turnaround initiative; in short, they must be empowered.

Q: Compile error in wxWidgets with VS2010 Beta 2 i try to build wxWidgets straight from source using VS10 beta 2, but i get this error when i try to compile it:
Error   1   error MSB3073: The command "copy "" ..\..\lib\vc_lib\mswd\wx\setup.h
:VCEnd" exited with code 1. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cp\\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets   145

thanks!

A: I was able to fix that particular error by creating folders in:
/lib/vc_lib
 or
/lib/vc_dll
The folders were
msw/wx
mswd/wx
mswu/wx
mswud/wx
.. etc according to the configuration that was being built
I was able to build the lib versions:
Stable Release: 2.8.10 - had to open the /build/msw/wx.dsw in VC 2008 and then in VC 2010 for the project conversion to work.A bit of work setting up the build order, the above folders in /lib and it compiles. Did not attempt building samples.
Development Snapshot: 2.9.0 - a lot easier. It comes with VC 2008 solution files and can be loaded in VC 2010. Set up the folder in the lib output folders and it compiles. Built the /samples/menu project (static lib Debug & Release) without any problems.

A: If you use svn checkout you need to ensure that the file include/wx/msw/setup.h exists (and not just setup0.h, just copy setup0.h to setup.h if you don't need to edit it). Otherwise check the project settings as they might have been not imported correctly -- the empty file name in copy command is very suspicious, it should be "....\include\wx\msw\setup.h" normally.
FWIW I checked that the build with VC10 beta2 works just yesterday but I had to do this change (http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx?view=revision&revision=62567) in order to get rid of the warnings about unknown compiler version. IOW you should use an svn checkout or apply this patch locally.

Those 3 cute fellows are perfect for any kind of spring or easter card. I coloured them in a second with my Copic Sketch Markers.
border 1: I used the small High Hopes rose from the ribbon rose set to stamp a border and coloured the roses with Spica glitter pens.
border 2: the main image is matted with a long scalloped rectangle from Spellbinders Nestabilities.
border 3: I sewed some additional borders around the main image.
border 4: I scored two lines next to and below the sentiment.
Die 3 süßen Tiere sind perfekt für alle Arten von Frühlings- oder Osterkarten. Ausserdem habe ich sie in Null komma Nichts mit meinen Copic Sketch Markern coloriert.
Rand 1: Hier habe ich die kleine High Hopes Rose von dem Rosenband Set verwendet um eine Reihe zu stempeln. Coloriert habe ich sie dann mit Spica Glitzerstiften.
Rand 2: Das Hauptmotiv habe ich mit einem gewellten langen Rechteck von Spellbinders Nestabilities hinterlegt.
Rand 3: Mit der Nähmaschine habe ich noch einen zusätzlichen Rand ober- und unterhalb des Hauptmotivs genäht.
Rand 4: Entlang und unterhalb des Textes habe ich 2 Linien gefalzt.
Ich danke euch fürs Reinschaun und genießt noch den Rest vom Wochenende!
Paper: Su cardstock "barely banana & pumkin pie"
Wow, die Karte ist wunderschön! Die Gestaltung ist genial!
You certainly did a nice job with the borders. The stamp is so perfect!
Hi Katherina Beautiful card and those images are so cute.
What an adorable card!.. You did an awesome job on stamping and coloring in. Wished you lived near me so you could teach me how to color in stamps.
Awesome card! I love all of your creative borders! And this image is just so cute!


Brunch at Balthazar in New York: boudin noir and tarte tatin!
Balthazar restaurant is an institution in New York. Located in Soho, it has been opened in 1997 by Keith McNally and co-chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson. The place is famous for its food and for the bakery, with a store located outside of the restaurant. You can even find Balthazar breads and viennoiseries (croissants, chocolate croissants...) in supermarket or other restaurants. I have to say that each time I had some, it was delicious.
Coming back to the restaurant: the decor is impressive. It is located in an old leather wholesale building; it has high ceilings with fans, and the walls have impressive mirrors. But, it is a madhouse! You'd better get a reservation! Between the tourists who are coming because Balthazar is in all the guides, the people eager to see celebrities and those who really like the food, they have no problem to get customers (waiting inside and outside)! Unfortunately, it comes to a price: they have maximized the space with tables everywhere, sacrificing comfort either for the clients or for the wait staff. For instance, it was difficult for the staff to access our table located in a corner because it was stuck between a large round table and another long table, with no space to go in between. Despite this, the service was very efficient and I have to say, extremely nice.
The brunch menu proposes a nice upscale version of traditional French dishes, such as the salad nicoise that is in France served with canned tuna, but there, with seared tuna.
They of course have a basket of fresh baked breads and pastries from their bakery. Always delicious. You will anyway have the opportunity to try their bread as they bring a bread basket with butter to the table.
The Pain au Levain (sourdough bread) was excellent.
We then tried one of their best sellers: the warm goat cheese and caramelized onion tart. It was served with a salad. We did not know it was coming with a salad and ordered the mixed field greens with vinaigrette, but the waiter warn us that the tart came anyway with a salad. I have to say that I always appreciate that! In a lot of restaurants, they would just let you order.
The salad had sun dried tomatoes and there was also some tapenade (black olive spread) that was delicious. The tart was to die for! It was so flavorful!
Then, I ordered the poached eggs boudin noir. Boudin noir is a sausage of mixed pork meat cooked in blood that gives the black color. Hence the name of blood sausage. It is a traditional dish in France, but I never tried it before.
It was served with two perfectly made poached eggs, potatoes, caramelized onions and frisee salad. The sausage looked pretty good and shiny. But it was a bit tough to cut as the skin was thick. It tasted a bit like a pate with a similar texture. Like pate, I could eat so much of it. I probably left a third at the end.
We finished with an apple tart tatin. This was a deception!
It was like a gelee (jelly) on top and was so sweet. I did not finish it either.
At the end of the day, it was an ok brunch, on the pricey side. I think for the same price I would more go to The Standard Grill and for a less pricey to Marseilles!
We decided to go to 10th and Willow in Hoboken for Brunch. The place is nice with a warm atmosphere rendered by the wood from floor to ceiling (high). We were given the choice of sitting in the bar room on high chairs and high tables or go to the dining room in the back. We picked the bar as it had a certain charm.
The menu offers classic brunch dishes or meals you would find in tailgate such as chicken wings or burgers (build your own). We ordered French toast and Huevos Rancheros (one of my favorites). I am not sure if they prepare the food out of town, but it took more than 30 minutes to get served and I had to ask the waitress if there was a problem with the kitchen so she took care of us!!! Clearly poor service! The table next to us arrived before us and when we left, did not even have their food! I have to say that I admired their patience; the Bloody Mary may have helped them...I did some research on the internet and it seems that poor service is one of the characteristics of this place!
First was the cinnamon raisin French Toast, served with toasted coconut butter and fresh fruits. When we asked for some more coconut butter, they were nice enough to bring a lot more, although I was a bit scared that it would take another 30 minutes! The French toast was very good: crunchy and moist.
The coconut butter was awesome and I am not a coconut addict!
I also appreciated the fact that they served the dishes with fresh fruits: it gives an impression of a complete meal.
Then there was the Huevos Rancheros: two poached eggs in a crispy corn tortilla shell with black bean salsa puree, shredded cheddar, spicy salsa, guacamole and home fries. The price of this plate is $15 so I was very surprised when I saw the quantities they were serving. It was probably worth $12. However, I am ready to pay a good price but it has to be real good! The guacamole was good, although missing a bit of acidity; in term of quantity, it was perfect. The eggs were well poached and the tortilla crispy as advertised. But, the black bean puree should have been called "thin layer of black bean puree"! I could barely taste it! And where was the spicy salsa? It was not spicy at all. So it was kind of disappointing. For good Huevos Rancheros in Hoboken, next time I will go to La Isla!
I am not sure it is worth giving another try. Especially considering the other good restaurants in the area!
If you had a similar or different experience there, let me know by posting a comment!
We went for brunch at La Bouche Cafe in Hoboken, a small cafe that opened this year, replacing a rice pudding joint called Miami Rice (!). I am not surprised that Miami Rice closed: first of all, you really need to know it is there as it is off the main street in Hoboken. Second, it was overpriced! Although it is always sad to see a business close, I was happy to see a cafe opening.
I thought that it would be like a French cafe, based on the name that means literally "The Cafe of the mouth". I would say that the decor with its little outdoor terrace and the nostalgia it inspires could remind me an old French cafe, as well as the viennoiseries (croissants and chocolate croissants), but it will stop there. The music they play is some old American 60's music and the menu, besides the croissants that are from Balthazar, is a typical American menu (bagel, eggs, sandwiches...). On their website, they mention quiches, but they were nowhere to be found when we went there.
The almond croissant: pretty good, but not as good as the one I got at the Old German Bakery in Hoboken. The later had a lot of almond paste in it that makes the almond croissant so good. Besides that, it was flaky, fresh and moist.
The smoked salmon omelette that was: smoked salmon, dill, cream cheese and scrambled eggs. It was good but like any smoked salmon omelette, a bit salty. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly (I hate when eggs are overcooked).
The Caprese salad served with avocados, basil and black olives. I though that the presentation was very nice! The avocado were ripe, the tomato and mozzarella delicious, although overdressed.
They also serve coffee and tea. I would not go for the hot cocoa ($3) because it is simply Swiss Miss! They could at least propose a better quality cocoa!!!
Overall, it was a nice little brunch at a reasonable price. And listen: if you like chocolate croissants, they have two bars of chocolate in it!
We went for brunch at The Turning Point in Hoboken, New Jersey. They serve breakfast, brunch and lunch. This place is always packed and we wanted to see if there was a reason for it. Their menu is quite large, with pancakes, waffles, eggs, soups, etc...We went for the banana foster waffle and the scrambled eggs. I will start with the eggs as it is straight forward: the eggs were dry!!! I do not understand how difficult it is to make good scrambled eggs! On top of that, the potatoes could have been cooked a little longer!
The waffle was good at least: it was served with a sweet dark rum sauce and they put an entire banana on it. The only mishap was that they served walnuts instead of toasted pecans as indicated on the menu.
Considering the price, I think the Turning Point is at the same level as any Diner and I would probably go back there for their waffles and pancakes.
Cedric is a 40 seats restaurant in Harlem, New York City, that opened in August 2011. The owner, Cedric Lecendre, lives in Harlem and decided to do something in and for Harlem. The restaurant is bright and modern, with a nice atmosphere (at least when I tried it for brunch!). The service was very good and attentive.
For brunch, they serve standard dishes such as French toasts or eggs (scramble, benedict). They also serve some classic French specialties like Mussels and fries or foie gras. I tried their Escargots de Bourgogne (snails): they are prepared with butter, garlic and parsley. When they brought the dish, the butter was still bubbling! Not only the snails were deliciously cooked, the sauce was addictive. We asked for more bread so we could dip the bread in it!
For entrees, we had the cheeseburger and the Croque Monsieur. The burger was amazing! The bun was good (I hate when it is a dry bun because it is the first thing you will taste when you take a bite). The meat was a thick patty, well cooked (I asked medium) and very juicy. There was enough cheese and buried under the patty, they put a sauce made of ketchup and mayonnaise. It is definitely a good place for a burger!
Unfortunately, the Croque Monsieur was not good (imagine this: I did not even finish my piece!). The bechamel sauce was cold, the bread was just ok (they could have used a better bread like Challah) and the cheese on top should have been better gratine. The appearance of the dish was not very appetizing either.
Despite the Croque Monsieur, I would go back to Cedric to try their dinner menu.
Brasserie Cognac, located near Columbus Circle in New York, serves delicious brunches! I never tried their dinner, but the brunch menu is quite good. I like the feel of the restaurant that reminds me of brasseries you can find in Paris. They in fact sat us next to the window, overlooking the street, and it was as if we were there (I am not comparing the streets of Paris with the streets of New York, just the relaxed feeling of eating outside, watching people passing by).
The Chef of the restaurant, Florian Hugo, worked under the supervision of the world renowned Alain Ducasse. I learnt that he is a direct descendant of Victor Hugo, the famous French writer of Les Miserables! Well, our food experience did not make us miserables at all!
So, for brunch, they have a prix-fixe: for a little less than $25 (in 2011), you get a drink (I got a nice belini - Champagne with peach nectar), an appetizer and a dessert. One of their famous appetizers is the Gougeres: some warm cheese puffs served in a basket. Light and delicious. They also have a fantastic homemade chicken and duck liver mousse on toasts. Very tasty!
For entrees, their mussels mariniere (white wine, shallots, light cream, parsley) with fries are very good. The filet mignon burger is good too: well cooked (I asked medium) and moist. I wish they put more tartare sauce on it and found it overpriced when looking at the price on the menu ($18).
The best is their Croque Monsieur! First, the way it is presented is awesome (on a cutting board, cut in stripes) and so appetizing! Then the taste: divine! Especially the cheese on top that is gratinee. It is served with a salad.
Definitely it is a good brunch and I will probably try for dinner one day! Worth mentioning that they have a bakery next door where you can get some great croissant and pains au chocolat (chocolate croissant).
Amanda's is a very popular restaurant in Hoboken, opened more than 20 years ago, whose name is in fact the name of the granddaughter of the original owner.
We went few times in the past and the food was decent. They have an early dinner for $32 for 2 people (at the time of this post), Monday through Saturday with reservations at 5pm and 5:30pm; orders have to be placed by 5:45pm in all cases and guests have to leave by 7pm / 7:30pm. For that price, you get an appetizer, an entree and a dessert of good quality. In term of appetizers, the Creamy Polenta with Red Pepper Coulis, Fresh Basil and Three Cheese Sauce is the best! For entrees, I prefer the Sautéed Cod with Basmati Rice and Savory Cabbage and the Quattro Formaggi Ravioli with a Light Tomato Basil Sauce. Desserts are also delicious (apple strudel, key lime pie or chocolate mousse). Definitely, for $32 for 2, it is worth it!
Croissant French Toast with Seasonal Fruit Compote: not sure where the French toast part was. It was just a croissant with a fruit compote on it and it was very, very sugary.
Poached Eggs with Crab Hash & Orange Hollandaise: at first I liked it, but gradually, it started to taste sweet. I am not sure if it was the French toast effect or the orange Hollandaise sauce. It came with 2 poached eggs: one well cooked and the other one overcooked (based on one of the eggs, and you can see that on the photo, they must use an utensil to poach).
Honey Smoked Virginia Ham & Swiss Cheese Omelette: nothing memorable.
In fact the best part was the bread basket...from Balthazar...It had some delicious scones, not dry at all, and buttery croissants! I guess next time we will go directly to Balthazar in New York!
I do not think I will go back for brunch, but certainly for dinner!

The Dining Room at Anthony David's is the first restaurant Chef Pino opened in Hoboken. He is also the owner of Bin 14, that is one of my favorites!
I love the feel of the restaurant with its rustic decoration. The menu is inspired by Northern italian food, but it is mainly apparent when you go for dinner! Their Truffle Risotto is delicious and they had it for some time at Bin 14, before removing it from the menu (please come back!).
For Brunch, they serve traditional brunch dishes: eggs benedict (11 different kinds!), French toast (small size that is great if you want it to share or have a small appetite!), salads (the goat cheese one is refreshing with a lot of cheese, roasted peppers, roasted tomatoes and toasted crostini), omelets... Finish your Brunch with a bourbon glazed donut and you are ready for a good nap!
The food is good there, although I have been disappointed by some of the eggs benedict: the ricotta and truffle has nothing extraordinary (you cannot taste really the truffle part and the ricotta is overshadowed by the yolk); However, the potato pancake, tomato and sour cream benedict is quite interesting and the crab cakes benedict is pretty good.

Bin 14 is one of my favorite restaurant for brunch, lunch or dinner. This wine bar opened in 2008 by Chef Anthony Pino who also owns Anthony David's in Hoboken (awesome for Eggs benedict lovers). The decor is really warm with a marble bar, red bricks walls and a brick oven.
- all dishes are small sizes, so it can be shared: not only it is a great way to try a little bit of everything, but it is also fun when dining with a group of people.
- the wine list offers a wide choice (more than 100) and they serve the wine by the glass in different quantities: 2 and 6 ounces.
- the food is de-li-cious! They have a good variety of cheeses, brushetta, pizza (the truffle and creamy taleggio cheese is terrific) and small plates, such as meatballs in marinara sauce, arancini made with fresh mozzarella and warm tomato salsa (2nd photo), truffle fries with Romano cheese and black pepper (addictive), the sauteed shrimp with lardons and grits (3rd photo) or the mushrooms and truffle oil risotto. Try also the pasta that are made daily. One of their best brunch dish is the Goat cheese and mushrooms omelet (they are generous on the cheese - 1st photo).
The only negative about Bin 14 is that there are no desserts, except if you go for brunch and try their zeppoles.
Bin 14 organizes different wine events that teach the basics but also focus on specific topics such as Italian white wine. On Tuesdays, they propose for $19 all you can eat mussels and fries. The record is apparently owned by a woman: 8 servings. I have to say that after a slice of pizza and a brushetta, I could only eat 3...but I do not desperate to try to beat that record!
Last, they have a kid menu for brunch and kids under 8 eat for free!
"Restaurant", "american", "best brunch in NY", "brunch", "new york"
Bobo is a restaurant located in the West Village whose name comes from the contraction "Bourgeois" - "Bohemian" (people from upper class leaving a bohemian inspired life, e.g. simple and non materialistic).
The restaurant is located in a brownstone and the entrance is below street level. They have a garden, but there is no shade. The interior is really nicely decorated with tables made of old wood that gives a special atmosphere to the place.
The brunch menu offers a variety of typical brunch items: eggs, french toast, burger, etc...We tried the french toast and the crab cakes benedict. The french toast were awesome: served with oatmeal streusel (crumbled) and bananas. You need a solid appetite to finish them (I guess no problem for me...)!
The crab cakes were just ok: they were served with supposedly béarnaise sauce (did not really taste like it) and mache salad. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but I felt they should have served them with the english muffins so you can dip them in the sauce and the egg yolk. The crab cakes contained too much bread crumbs and not enough lump crab.
Despite that, I would recommend this restaurant and next time, for brunch, we will try the griddled cheese (goat cheese, cheddar and gruyere!!!). We will definitely try the dinner that seems yummy.

Monarch butterflies are — quite literally — a force of nature.
They strike out each year by the thousands on a four-generation, 3,000-mile-long journey of pure instinct and faith.
They use both inherent and imprinted knowledge. They use subterfuge, placing their eggs on a plant that feeds their young caterpillars, but makes them poisonous and distasteful to predators. They use natural GPS.
The yearly flight of the monarch butterflies is the longest-distance insect migrations known on Earth, and they've made the same epic journey over and over for thousands of years — migrating in spring from one location in Mexico, up over the Southeast, into the Midwest and into Canada for the summer, then retracing the route back to a dozen specific high mountain peaks in central Mexico where they roost.
Along the way, they mate, lay eggs, die.
All the while, their young hatch into caterpillars, form larvae, then morph into the spectacular dotted and lined royalty of the butterfly world. Then the next generations continue the journey. Over and over. One journey involves three to four generations of monarchs.
Lucky us! We're not only on the royal flight path, we — the southeastern states — provide the monarch cradle.
But with privilege comes responsibility, and that means it is largely up to us to ensure the survival of this endangered species and help it continue its time-honored odyssey.
The numbers of monarchs were believed to be down by nearly half in 2014, mainly due to loss of habitat.
By habitat we mean loss of one plant: milkweed.
Monarchs only lay their eggs on milkweed, according to Christine Bock, lead horticulturist at Tennessee Aquarium, and the milkweed as a monarch cradle and delivery room isn't just an accidental fluke of simply choosing a lovely nursery.
It is required habitat. Required for survival.
Mommy monarchs somehow understand that milkweed contains a substance that makes the developing caterpillar poisonous and distasteful to most predators — an important protection since mom won't live long after laying her eggs.
So it is our brood of monarchs — those that survive infancy as caterpillars, form a chrysalis and then morph into new adults — that continue the monarch migration into the northern United States and southern Canada to breed.
Once the monarchs found plenty of milkweed among our southern prairie grasslands and even between the rows of large corn and soy fields. But now our sheer numbers have spawned acres of development, and our dubious wizardry with genetically modified crops has created corn and soy plants that are resistant to herbicides, meaning farmers can and do liberally spray their fields to kill weeds — even milkweeds — without harming their corn and soy.
Monarchs — the only butterfly known to make a two-way migration as birds do — sense certain topographical features, avoiding both large bodies of water and tall mountains. Instead, they choose cool valley passes between mountains and often along river corridors. Only traveling during the day, they make use of air currents and thermals to fly long distances — often between 50 and 100 miles a day. The fastest ranging monarch butterfly recorded traveled an 265 miles in one day, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Unlike other butterflies that can overwinter as larvae, pupae, or even as adults in some species, monarchs cannot survive the cold winters of northern climates. Using environmental cues, these uncanny forecasters know when it is time to travel south for the winter. In Mexico, they cluster together by the tens of thousands to stay warm and roost for the winter in about a dozen oyamel fir forests that stand in a perfect microclimate nearly 2 miles above sea level. Here temperatures range from 32 to 59 degrees. If the temperature is lower, the monarchs will be forced to use their fat reserves. The humidity in the oyamel forest assures the monarchs won't dry out, also allowing them to conserve energy.
Every spring, the overwintered monarchs head north in waves. Throughout the southeast, they lay eggs on milkweed — only milkweed.
Once our babies begin the journey again, they are still in for a perilous trip. They'll face bad weather that can throw them to less friendly paths, and they'll face onslaughts from a handful of songbirds that can stomach their taste — like the black-headed grosbeak and the black-backed oriole.
Still, the biggest danger is loss of habitat. Loss of milkweed.
But that's where we come into the story — hopefully this time as heroes.
Sometime around the middle of August, the monarchs' heed the call to Mexico and reset their travel southward toward "home." Remember, these flyers are now the third or fourth generation from their ancestor monarchs who came from Mexico. These flyers have nothing but instinct and faith to guide them.
At locations where monarchs have been known to cluster on their way south — like on the tip of a peninsula where they wait for favorable winds to carry them over a lake or inlet or wide river — groups of citizen scientists gather and tag them for research.
Adhesive paper dots the size of eraser tips are affixed to a wing, before the monarch is released. When the tagged monarchs eventually fall to a natural death because their life is over — usually in Texas or Mexico — more citizen scientists find and record the information on the sticker, giving real scientists and naturalists a way to track to incredible journeys of monarchs. Bock and local citizen scientists hope to be tagging monarchs here later this year.
But she says the most important way we can help is to make sure the monarchs — in their spring and summer egg-laying season — have a proper nursery habitat. We can plant butterfly gardens with species native to our region.
Most importantly, we can plant milkweed. Now.

Art Beat: San Antonio Style Bookfest

Director Katy Flato takes the reins
Back in 2013, during the first San Antonio Book Festival (SABF), Katy Flato served as moderator for a panel discussion between authors
Stephen Harrigan and Bob Thompson, who had both written books about hunting elusive legends. It was her role to address the audience first.
"So I welcomed them and then I said, 'I am Katy Flato, the director of the San Antonio Book Festival,' and they all started clapping. That's when it hit me — we actually got it done!" says the now more seasoned director. "It was so heartwarming. We had been running on a very fast track to get the fest off the ground, a mad dash really, and it was actually happening, and everyone seemed to be jazzed up to be there."
Though the audiences were relatively small that first year, the number of visitors more than doubled in 2014, and some 10,000 are expected this year. The 2015 event takes place on April 11 at the San Antonio Central Library and the Southwest School of Art across the street. Modeled on the Texas Book Festival in Austin and presented by the Library Foundation, SABF is a one-day free happening featuring readings, panel discussions, book signings and sales, music and food, as well as children and teen activities. Expected to take part are some 75 authors, whose books cover a range of genres, from fiction and poetry to all types of nonfiction, including cookbooks. Excluded are self-help, religion and self-published materials. In order to be invited, however, a writer has to have a new book to promote and sell.
"We want to keep it fresh, exciting and current," explains Flato. "Other writers, especially Texas ones, may be invited to serve as moderators. Since we are in San Antonio, we have our own personality and goals," she adds. "We like to have books on military issues, the border, immigration, water and the environment." The person in charge of selecting and contacting the authors is literary director Clay Smith, who did similar work for the Austin fest. He is "everything" to the festival since he knows the publishing industry well and has personal connections with writers and their agents. "He puts together a well-curated, multicultural, diverse program every year and figures out trends and themes for our panel discussions that are current and interesting," says the director.
Writers, trends and new events
Current publishing trends — such as soldiers' accounts of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, growth in young adult literature and new translations of world literature classics — will be reflected in the roster of writers and panel discussions. The 2015 invited writers include Phil Klay, the National Book Award winner for his war novel, Redeployment; the Marine-turned-novelist Michael Pitre, author of Fives & Twenty Fives; and Helen Thorpe, whose nonfiction work, Soldier Girls, deals with women's war experiences. Two translators, Tomas Morin and Marian Schwartz, will discuss the challenges of literary translation, while young adult literature will be represented by Isabel Quintero and our own Naomi Shihab Nye, who just published a new novel for youngsters titled The Turtle of Oman.
Other participating San Antonio writers are David Liss, Sheila Black, Jan Jarboe Russell, Diane Gonzales Bertrand and possibly others. NPR's Fresh Air book critic Maureen Corrigan, the author of a new work focusing on the importance of The Great Gatsby, will also be here, and many more. (At the time of this writing the list was not yet completed.)
And there are new events, too. As the director, Flato oversees a fairly large group of Library Foundation staff and festival volunteers who are all pulling together to enhance the fest and make it fun "for the well-read and those who need to learn to read well," as she puts it.
One interesting new event is Pitchapalooza, a competition conceived by Book Doctors Arielle Eckstut and David Sterry, who describe it as "the American Idol for books." Anyone with an idea for a book gets a one-minute chance to pitch that idea to a panel of four judges who offer a critique, with comments on marketability and more. At the end, they choose a winner who later receives an introduction to an appropriate agent or publisher. We bet this will be a popular event. Also new will be a documentary film screening and a new pre-fest fundraiser called the Literary Feast, featuring Shihab Nye and Lawrence Wright.
A book lover
Not surprisingly, Flato grew up reading and loving books. One novel she remembers well is The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, her first serious book. "I was just mesmerized by it. It was the first time that I was taken by the actual writing style instead of just following the plot," she recalls. The young woman earned a degree in English from Colorado College in 1981 and later found work at Texas Monthly magazine, where she started as an editorial assistant but eventually rose to the position of managing editor before leaving to have her first child. For three years she also served as the editor of Domain, Texas Monthly's now-defunct lifestyle supplement. In fact, she met her husband, San Antonio architect Ted Flato, while supervising a photo shoot for that publication. The couple have two daughters.
Though she is not a writer, she missed working with writers, she says. To alleviate the problem, she became a volunteer SAPLF board member and threw herself into organizing fundraisers, readings and performances, featuring well-known literati and entertainers. Since 1995, Flato has directed the foundation's Copyright Texas program, a free series of presentations by regional authors. That work earned her an Imagineer Award from the Mind Science Foundation. Her other community interests include Planned Parenthood and KIPP San Antonio, a college preparatory charter school. "I have been on the SAPLF board for 20 years," she says. "The book festival was a natural growing step for us to do together (the library and the foundation). It's a way to invest in our library system and to promote it."
Since starting work on the fest, however, she hardly has time to read anymore. The various responsibilities keep her busy pretty much year-round, though the heavy lifting doesn't start until January. One of those responsibilities that is close to her heart involves educational outreach. Last year some 300 underprivileged children were brought to the event to enjoy children's activities and receive lunch and a free book. Another outreach effort involves writers going to speak to students and educators in schools and other child-centered organizations.
So, what's the best way to experience the festival?
She is ready for this question: "Go online, print the schedule, study it, and plan your day. Otherwise you'll miss something that may interest you. There are even apps to help you create your own schedule… If people just get to the festival, they will be swept away. My challenge is to get them there."

She and Sliver are the last of their kind and are not flesh and blood as we are, but are the product of synthetic genetics mixed in a test tube by a computer.
Their race, wanting to preserve life, knew they would evolve away like our dinosaurs here on earth if left in their natural biological state.
Hence they became indestructible androids living for millions of years, provided they returned to their home planet every ten thousand years for normal maintenance.
But then tragedy struck – their homeworld sun went nova, destroying their planet and they could not return home for maintenance anymore.

Teamsters 760 is the designated union for a number of local government employees in central Washington.
It is important to know that Teamsters 760 may continue to automatically withhold dues from employees pay even if they never signed up for membership in the first place. The best way to ensure the deductions stop is to submit a request to the union in writing.
How much are Teamsters 760 dues?
Union dues for Teamsters 760 are roughly 1.3% of salary and as high as $1,428 per year.
Yes. Teamsters 760 has been empowered by the state to represent those in your workplace. Employees are not allowed to negotiate their own compensation or handle their own grievances with their employer, nor can they hire another person or entity to represent them.
In exchange for this unusual benefit, Teamsters 760 is legally obligated to represent all employees in the workplace, including those who choose not to join the union as members.
No. All provisions of the collective bargaining agreement between the union and your employer will continue to govern your employment. Your wages, health benefits, retirement and anything else governed by the collective bargaining agreement will remain unchanged if you opt out of Teamsters 760.
The IRS requires unions' 990 tax return to be a public document, and these can be found online at sites like this. Teamsters 760 reports using the Employer Identification Number EIN 91-0405908.
All private-sector unions, and some public sector unions, are obligated to report financial information to the U.S. Dept. of Labor in an annual LM-2 report which can be found here. Teamsters 760 reports using the Dept. of Labor file number of 043-443.

Ted Wilson Reviews the World: Tony's Balloon Party
Ted Wilson
★★☆☆☆ (2 out of 5)
Hello, and welcome to my week-by-week review of the world. Today I am reviewing Tony's Balloon Party.
Most parties have balloons, but only Tony's Balloon Party has only balloons. That's right — it's a balloon-only party, meaning the balloons are the guests — each one with a face drawn on as if it is alive. Admission is $5, cash only, and only one attendee is allowed at a time. When I arrived, there was no line.
I slipped the $5 into Tony's mailslot and could feel him yank the bill out of my hand. Then a voice said, "You have 15 minutes." I asked if he would be at the party and he said no, but that he'd be watching.
The entire party takes place inside the kitchen, which you enter through the side door. All other rooms have been made inaccessible with handwritten signs that say simply "NO." From behind one of the doors I could hear what sounded like fingernails scratching on the wood and I hope it was just a cat.
There's a carrot and cheese platter but the balloons are really the centerpiece of the party. There are balloons of all colors. Some are standard balloon-shaped balloons while others are mylar balloons in more custom shapes and with images on them. The best balloon I saw was in the shape of a star and it had an image of Pac-Man on it. I reached out to touch one with a woman's face on it when Tony's voice came over a speaker and said, "Stay away from Daphne."
When I accidentally popped one of the balloons, a door flung open and a guy who I assume was Tony came screaming at me to get out. I quickly tried to re-inflate the balloon but the damage was too severe, and Tony's face was all red and he looked like he wanted to fight but he also looked like he wanted to cry so I hurried out of there.
When I drove past Tony's the next day I saw a big sign on the lawn that read "NO MORE BALLOON PARTY."
I have to say, I've been to better parties. But I've also been to worst. Like the one where the host was arrested for murder. She didn't do that, but we didn't find that out until 22 years later after new DNA evidence revealed someone else was the killer.
BEST FEATURE: Now that Tony's Balloon Party is out of business, the field is wide open for competitors.
WORST FEATURE: None of the balloons were filled with helium. Just Tony's breath.
Please join me next week when I'll be reviewing baby wipes.
In 2009 I began reviewing the world, one item per week. So far I've reviewed hundreds of things! https://www.patreon.com/tedwilson

Frank Caliendo was born in 1974 in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Caliendo took the stage, performing stand-up at local open-mic nights and comedy clubs. His talent for dead-in impersonations helped him to establish a following, and by the new millennium, Frank had made his television debut on Hype, the comedy series, and then quickly after joined the cast of MADtv.
On MADtv, Frank Caliendo honed his talent for impersonations, bringing audiences impressions of Charles Barkley, Robin Williams, Jim Rome, William Shatner, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and John Madden, the latter of which has become his signature impersonation. Caliendo remained with the show until 2006, during which time he also brought his talents to a number of other shows and films, including: Hot in Cleveland (2001), Comedy Festival Presents: Funniest Movies of the Year (2008), The Comebacks (2007), Mind of Mencia (2005), Late Friday (2001), and of course MADtv and Hype. Frank has performed on nearly all of the most significant talk show programs, including Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and The View. He has also had his own feature show on Comedy Central, and in 2003, Caliendo began his work with Fox NFL Sunday. On Fox NFL Sunday, Frank Caliendo's John Madden impersonation became nearly legendary. He remained with the show until very recently, when in 2012 he announced that he would not be joining the show for future seasons.
Most recently, Frank Caliendo showcased his talents on his own show, Frank TV, which aired on TBS for two seasons. He has released six CDs thus far, including: Make the Voices Stop (2002), Frank on the Radio (2003), Frank on the Radio 2, Vol 1 & 2 (2007), All Over the Place (2008), and National Lampoon Live: Unleashed (2009.)
