and arts, were prohibited as crimes ; no one was al-
lowed t to speak to him: he scarcely durst visit the
queen ; and led the most tedious life possible. Not-
withstanding the king's prohibition, he applied to
the sciences, and made great progress in them.
the solitude in which he lived made him plunge
into dissoluteness ; as his governors did not dare to
follow him, he entirely abandoned himself to de-
One of the pages of the king, named Keith, was the
pandar of his vices. This young man had found
means to insinuate himself so much, that the prince
was passionately fond of him, and gave him his entire
confidence. I knew nothing of his irregularities, but
I had noticed some familiarities which he had with
this page, and I often reproached him about it ; re-
presenting to him that such manners were unsuitable
to his rank. But he excused himself, saying that as
the young man reported to him all that passed, he
was induced to treat him kindly ; particularly as the
information he conveyed to him, saved him from
many vexations. Jn the meantime, I felt uneasy in
regard to myself: my fate was just on the eve of be-
ing decided. The queen, by her set speeches, in-
creased the aversion which I had always felt for the
prince of Wales. The portrait which she drew of that
prince, was not to my taste. " He has," she ob-
served, " a good heart, but a 'very narrow mind ; he
is rather plain than handsome, and even a little de-
formed. Provided you can have the complaisance to
put up with his debauches, you may then govern him
entirely, and you may be more king than he at his
father's death. Look what a part you will have to
perform : upon you will depend the good or ill destiny
of Europe, and the rule of the English nation."
MARGRAVINE OF BAllEITH. 101
This language showed that the queen was not ac-
quainted with my true sentiments. A husband such
as she described the prince her nephew, would have
suited her. But the principle which I had adopted
respecting marriage, differed much from her's. I
maintained, 'that a happy union ought to be founded
upon mutual esteem and regard. I would have chosen
reciprocal affection as its basis, and that my complai-
sances and attentions should flow from this source.
Nothing appears difficult to us for those we love : but
can there possibly be love without any return ? True
affection suffers no division. A prince who has mis-
tresses, grows attached to them ; in proportion as his
love increases, his affection diminishes for her who
ought to be its legitimate object. What esteem, what
regard, can be entertained for a man who suffers him-
self to be governed, and neglects his affairs and his
country, to abandon himself to dissolute pleasures !
I wished for a real friend, to whom I might give my
confidence and my heart ; towards whom I could feel
both esteem and inclination ; who might insure my
felicity ; and whom I might render happy. I foresaw
that the prince of Wales would not suit me, as he did
not possess the qualities which I required. The duke
of Weissenfeld, on the other hand, pleased me still
less. Independent of the inferiority of his rank, the
disproportion of our ages was too great : I was nine-
teen, and he forty-three. His figure was rather dis-
agreeable than prepossessing ; he was short, and exces-
sively corpulent : his manners were polished ; but he
was brutal in private, and very dissolute. The state
df my poor heart may easily be conjectured. There
was no one but iny governess who was acquainted
with my real sentiments ; and to none but her could I
make them known.
In the end, the queen marred all by her haughti-
ness. Grumkow had purchased a beautiful house at
Berlin with the money he had received from the
emperor. He had adorned and furnished it at the
expense of all the crowned heads. The late king of
England and the empress of Russia had heen contri-
butors to its embellishments. He solicited the queen
to give him her portrait, which he said would be the
greatest ornament of his house. The queen readily
granted his request. She was just sitting to the
famous Pene, one of the most distinguished painters :
this portrait was intended for the queen of Denmark.
As the head only was finished, when she left Berlin
for Wusterhausen, she gave orders to the painter to
take a copy for Grumkow ; originals being never
given but to princesses. Grumkow one day came to
return his thanks to the queen, and expressed the
lively satisfaction he felt at possessing so perfect a
painting. " It is Pene's master-piece," added he :
" it is impossible to see a greater likeness, or a more
highly finished portrait." The queen said to me in a
low voice : " I am afraid there has been some mis-
take ; and that he has got the original instead of the
copy I" At the same time she asked him whether it
was so ? " As the portrait which the king," answered
he, (f has vouchsafed to give me is an original, it is
but just I should have that of your majesty equal to
the king's. I have got it from the painter : it is a
perfect performance." "And by whose orders?"
replied the queen ; " for I honour no private person
with an original picture, and it is not my intention to
distinguish you from others." She was going to turn
her back upon him ; but he stopped her, beseeching
her to leave him the portrait. She refused it in a
very disdainful manner, and used many invectives
against Grumkow. While the king was amusing
himself hunting, the queen related the whole scene to
count Finck. The latter, glad to play a trick to
Grumkow, against whom he had a private resentment,
urged the queen to make him sensible of the inso-
lence of his behaviour. It was therefore determined,
that after her return to Berlin, she should send
several of her domestics to Grumkow, to demand her
portrait, and to tell him, at the same time, that she
would not give him either original or copy, until he
conducted himself more becomingly towards her, and
had learnt to pay her the respect which was due to
her as his sovereign. The plan was put in execution
the very next day, when we returned to tOAvn. No
sooner was the queen arrived at Berlin, than she
hastened to give her orders accordingly, lest she might
meet with any opposition. Grumkow, who perhaps
had been informed of the queen's intention through
Mrs Ram en, [listened, with a taunting air, to the
message which the valet of the queen delivered to
him. " You may," said he, " take back the queen's
portrait, I have those of so many great princes, that
I may easily console myself for the loss of her's."
He however informed the king of the humiliation
which he had endured, and painted it in the blackest
colouring. Neither he, nor any of his family, ap-
peared any more in the queen's drawing-room. He
spoke of her in very disrespectful terms ; and his en-
venomed tongue displayed all its eloquence in ridi-
culing her : and happy indeed would it have been for
her majesty, had he stopped there ; but he shortly
after took a more effectual revenge, as will be seen in
the sequel. Some well meaning persons interfered to
conciliate the affair. Grumkow made a parade of the
respect he entertained for whatever belonged to the
king, by muttering a kind of apology to the queen ;
to which she returned a condescending answer, which
apparently put an end to their quarrel.
As the answer from England was long in coming,
the queen began to grow uneasy. She had daily con-
ferences with M. de Bourguai, which for the most
part tended to no purpose. At length, at the end of
a month, the anxiously expected letter arrived. That
which the queen of England had written to be shown
to the king, ran thus : " The king my husband is
well disposed to unite more closely the ties of alliance
which his late royal father had contracted with the
king of Prussia, and to promote the double marriage
of his children : but he cannot state any thing positive
till he has proposed the business to Parliament." This
was evidently only an evasive answer. The other
letter was not more satisfactory : it contained exhor-
tations to the queen, to support with firmness the
persecutions of the king respecting my marriage with
the duke of Weissenfeld ; and stated that the match
was too little formidable to create so much alarm, and
that it could only be a feint of the king. The letter
to my brother was nearly in the same terms.
Never did Medusa's head cause greater astonish-
ment than the reading of these letters did to the
queen. She would have passed them over silently,
and written a second time to England, to endeavour
to obtain more favourable replies, had not M. de
Bourguai informed her that he was charged with the
same commissions for the king. The queen expressed,
in severe terms, her dissatisfaction at the behaviour
of his court towards her : and requested the ambassa-
dor to inform the king her brother, that if he did not
change his sentiments, all would be lost. The king
rny father arrived a few days after. As soon as he
entered the queen's room, he asked whether the answer
was come ? " Yes, (said the queen, boldly assuming
an air of satisfaction ;) and it is such as you wish."
At the same time she gave him the letter; which the
king took ; and after having perused it, returned it
in a passion. " I see," said he, " that they still
want to deceive me ; but I will not be their dupe."
He then left the room, and went to Grumkow, who
was in his antichamber. His conference with that
minister lasted two long hours ; after which he came
again to the room where we were with an open and
cheerful countenance. He said nothing more about
the matter, and behaved uncommonly well to the
queen. She suffered herself to be blinded by the
caresses of the king, and fancied that things were
going on uncommonly well. But I was not deceived :
I knew the king, and feared his dissimulation more
than his violence. He staid only a few days at Berlin,
and returned to Potsdam.
The year 1729 opened with a new transaction.
M. de la Motte, an officer in the Hanoverian service,
came secretly to Berlin, and took up his residence
with M. de Sastot, a chamberlain of the queen, his
near relation. " I am intrusted," said he to his
friend, " with commissions of the greatest importance,
but which require the utmost secresy, and oblige me
to keep my journey very secret. I have a letter for
the king : but I am expressly commanded to have it
delivered into his own hands. I have not applied to
any person here, as I am not acquainted with any one.
I therefore flatter myself that, as a friend and a re-
lation, you will assist me in this business, and get my
dispatches transmitted to the king." This confiden-
tial opening inspired M. de Sastot with curiosity ; he
intreated La Motte to acquaint him with the motive
of his journey. After a long resistance on the part
of the latter, he at last learned of him, that he was
sent by the prince of Wales to inform the king that
the prince had resolved to escape from Hanover, un-
known to the king his father, and to come to marry
me. " You perceive," added La Motte, " that the
success of the plan depends on its being kept secret.
However, as I have been ordered not to inform the
queen of it, I leave to you the care of acquainting her
with the matter, if you think her sufficiently discreet."
Sastot answered, that not to run any risk, he would
consult madame 'de Sonsfeld on the subject. I had
a few days before been attacked with a severe cold.
Sastot found madame de Sonsfeld with the queen,
giving her majesty an account of the state of my
health. As soon as he could speak to her, he ac-
quainted her with the arrival of La Motte, and the
intelligence he had communicated to him ; requesting
her to advise him whether he ought to tell it to the
queen. Both Sastot and madame de Sonsfeld knew
full well that the queen kept nothing from her deal-
Mrs Ramen, and that, consequently, Sekendofff
would not fail to be immediately informed of what
had happened. But at length, after mature delibera-
tion, they resolved to confide it to the queen. It is
impossible to conceive an idea of the pleasure with
which her majesty received the intelligence. She
could not conceal her joy either from the countess de
Finck or madame de Sonsfeld. They both exhorted
her to be discreet, and warned her of the fatal conse-
quences that might ensue, if the project happened to
be divulged. She promised every thing ; and turning
to my governess : " Go," said she, " prepare my
daughter for this news : I shall visit her to-morrow
to speak to her : but, above all, do your best that she
may soon be able to leave her room." Madame de
Sonsfeld immediately came to me. " I do not know,"
said she, " what is the matter with Sastot ; he is like
a madman ; he dances, he sings, and all for joy, he
says, about some good news which he has received,
and which he is ordered not to divulge." I paid no
attention to what she said ; and as I made no
answer : " I am however anxious," continued she,
" to know what it may be, for he says, madame, that
it concerns you." " Alas !" said I, " what good
news can there be for me in my situation ; and
whence could Sastot get any?" " From Hanover,"
answered she ; " and, perhaps, from the prince of
Wales himself." " I see no very great happiness in
that," replied I ; " you perfectly well know my sen-
timents on the subject." " It is true, madam,"
answered she, " but I am afraid heaven will punish
you for slighting a prince, who, sacrificing himself
for you, incurs the displeasure of the king his father,
and exposes himself to the ill-will of all his family
for the sake of coming hither to marry you. What
is it you would be at ? You have no choice left. Do
you prefer the duke of Weissenfeld, or the margrave
of Schwedt ? or will you not marry at all ? Indeed,
madam, you break my heart ; and after all, you do
not know your own mind." I could not forbear
smiling at her earnestness, not supposing that what
she had been telling me was so certain. " The queen
has probably received letters similar to those she had
six months ago, and this is doubtless the cause," said
I, *' of the long arguments you are using with me."
" By no means," replied she; at the same time in-
forming me of La Motte's journey. I now saw that
the affair was serious, and the inclination to laugh
gave way to a gloomy sorrow, which did not tend to
restore my health.
The queen came to see me the next day : and after
having embraced me several times with tokens of the
most lively affection, she repeated all that madame de
Sonsfeld had told me the day before. " At length
you will be happy ! what a joy for me !" During all
this time I kissed her hands, which I bedewed with
my tears without returning an answer. " But you
weep," added she; "what is the matter?" I felt
some reluctance to lessen her satisfaction. " The
mere thought of quitting you, madam," said I,
*' gives me more pain than all the crowns of the world
could give me pleasure." She was affected at my
answer, and after tenderly caressing me, withdrew.
The queen held a drawing-room that evening.
Her evil star brought M. de Bourguai, the English
minister, to court. The ambassador, as usual, com-
municated to her majesty the letters he had received
from his court, and insensibly entered into conver-
sation on their contents with the queen ; who,
forgetting all her promises, imprudently informed
him of the design of the prince of Wales. M. de
Bourguai appeared surprised, and asked, whether it
was perfectly certain? " So certain," said the queen,
" that La Motte has been sent hither to acquaint the
king with the business." M. de Bourguai, shrugging
his shoulders, replied ; " how unfortunate I am, ma-
dame! your majesty has trusted me with a secret that
should have been kept from me as much as from Se-
kendorff. Indeed! I am much to he pitied, since I
must this very evening send a "messenger to England
to inform the king of the project of his son ; which
his majesty will no douht take measures to prevent;
but I cannot act otherwise." The consternation of
the queen may easily be imagined : she used all her
efforts to divert de Bourguai from his design ; but the
minister was inexorable, and withdrew immediately.
The queen was left a prey to despair. Unfortunately,
she had likewise trusted the secret to her favorite
Ramen. Sekendorff, who had been acquainted with
the business through this woman, had gone to Pots-
dam to dissuade the king from returning any answer.
Countess Finck told me all this the following day.
The mine was sprung ; nothing was now more urgent
than to prevent the queen's imprudence reaching the
ears of her royal husband. The king came to Berlin
the week after. In spite of SekendorfPs insinuations,
his majesty sent for La Motte, whom he received very
kindly, expressing his impatience at seeing the prince
of Wales. He gave him a letter for the prince, and
requested La Motte to set off as fast as he could to
hasten his arrival. But matters were completely
altered. The king's delay and the queen's impru-
dence gave time to the messenger of the ambassador
to arrive in England. As his dispatches were addressed
to the secretary of state, the latter obliged the king
to send an express to Hanover to order the prince of
Wales over to England without delay. The messen-
ger reached Hanover a moment before the departure
of the prince for Berlin. As the order was addressed
to the ministers, the prince was forced to obey and to
set out for London, while the king and queen of
Prussia expected him at Berlin with joyful eagerness.
But their joy was soon converted into grief by the
arrival of an express, which informed their majesties
of the prince's sudden departure for England.
But it is time to unravel this mystery. The English
nation was ardently wishing for the presence of the
prince of Wales in his future kingdom. The British
monarch had repeatedly, but vainly been urged on
this subject. He did not wish to have his son in
England, because he foresaw that his presence would
give rise to parties that might become prejudicial to
his authority. He however saw that he could not
long delay complying with the wishes of the nation.
He therefore secretly ordered his son to go to Berlin,
and to marry me, with an express injunction of secrecy
as to the part his majesty had taken in this business.
This contrivance was a decent pretext to quarrel with
the prince, and to leave him at Hanover, without the
nation having any right to complain. The indiscre-
tion of the queen of Prussia, and the arrival of de
Bourguai's messenger, marred the project, and com-
pelled the king of England to comply with the wishes
of the nation. Poor La Motte fell a sacrifice ; he was
confined for two years in the fortress of Hameln, and
afterwards broke. But after his release, the king my
father took him into his service, where he is still com-
mander of a regiment. All this rendered our situa-
tion worse; the king was more than ever incensed
against the British monarch his brother-in-law, and
resolved from that instant to break with him, if my
marriage were not concluded.
We shortly after followed the king to Potsdam,
where he had a violent fit of the gout in both feet.
This illness, added to the vexation of seeing his hopes
vanished, put him into an insupportable humour.
The pains of purgatory could not equal those we en-
dured ; we were obliged to be in the king's room by
nine o'clock in the morning ; we dined there and durst
not leave it on any account. The king passed the
whole day in abusing my brother and me ; he called
me the " English baggage," and my brother the "ras-
cally Frederic." He forced us to eat and drink things
which we disliked, or which disagreed with our con-
stitutions ; this ill-judged severity sometimes made us
VOL. i. L
throw up in his presence all we had in our stomachs.
Every day was marked by some unlucky event ; we
could not lift up our eyes without beholding some ill-
fated being tormented in one way or other. The
impatience of the king would not suffer him to lie in
bed; he was placed in an arm-chair upon castors,
and rolled about all over the palace ; his arms rested
on crutches. We followed his triumphal car every-
where like unfortunate captives undergoing their pu-
nishment. The poor king was really suffering violent
pain, and the overflowing of a black bile caused his
intolerable humour.
One morning when we entered his room to pay him
our respects, he sent us all back. " Get you gone,"
said he, in a passion, to the queen, " with your con-
founded brats; I wish to be alone." The queen
would have replied, but he bade her be silent, and or-
dered dinner to be served up in her room. My mother
was vexed, but we were delighted, for my brother and
myself were actually as meagre as jades through the
want of food. But we had scarcely sat down to dinner,
when one of the king's valets came running, quite out
of breath, calling out to the queen, " For heaven's
sake, madame ! come quickly : the king is about
strangling himself." The queen immediately ran to
his assistance; she found the king with a rope about
his neck, and on the point of suffocation if she had
not timely saved him. His brain was affected; the
heat of his fever however abated towards night, when
he found himself somewhat better. We were all ex-
ceedingly rejoiced at it, hoping that his humour would
be less violent; but we were disappointed. At table
he told the queen that he had received letters from
Anspach, informing him that the young Margrave in-
tended to be at Berlin in May, to marry my sister ;
and that he should send M. de Bremer, his governor,
to carry to him the betrothing ring. He asked my
sister whether she was pleased ; and how she would
regulate her house when married ? My bister was in
MARGRAVINE OF BAREITH. Ill
the habit of speaking her sentiments freely, and even
telling him his own faults, without his being offended.
She therefore told him, with her usual frankness,
"that she would keep a good table, -well provided
with all sorts of delicacies, which," added she, "will
be superior to yours ; and if I have children, I shall
not use them ill as you do, nor force them to eat food
that disagrees with them." "What do you mean?"
replied the king ; " what fault is there in my table ?"
"The fault is," said she, " that there is not enough
to satisfy one's hunger; and that [the little there is
consists of coarse vegetables, which we cannot digest."
The king had already begun to be angry at her first
answer ; the last put him into a furious rage ; but his
passion vented itself upon my brother and me. He
first threw a plate at the head of my brother, who
avoided the blow ; he then threw one at me, which I
also avoided. A pelting storm followed ; he flew into
a rage at the queen, scolding her for the bad educa-
tion she gave to her offspring ; and turning to my
brother, " You ought to curse your mother," said he,
" she is the cause of your being so ill-bred. I had a
tutor," added he, " who was an honest man. I shall
never forget a story which he told me when I was
very young. ' There ."was/ said he, * a man at Car-
thage, who had been condemned to death for several
crimes he had committed. When he was led to ex-
ecution, he asked leave to speak to his mother, who
was instantly sent for. He approached her, as if he
wanted to speak to her, and bit off part of her ear
with his teeth. I do this, said he to his mother, to
set you up as an example to all parents who neglect
bringing their children up in the practice of virtue.*
You may make the application ;" continued the king,
still addressing my brother ; and as the latter did not
return any answer, he went on abusing us till he was
no longer able to speak.
We arose from table, and as we were obliged to pass
close by him, he aimed a blow at me with one of his
crutches, which I luckily avoided, else it would have
felled me to the ground. He pursued me for some
time in his rolling car, but those who dragged it gave
me time to fly to the room of the queen, which was
at a great distance. I reached it half dead with fear
and in such a tremble that I sunk on a chair unable
to support myself any longer. The queen had followed
me ; she did all she could to comfort me and to per-
suade me to go back to the king. His plates and

The release of the latest and final book will be a major event for local, independent booksellers. Scott Meyer of the Merritt Bookstores, which will be hosting its own Potter event, talks to us about the money behind the magic.

Should you pay your kids not to smoke?
- 18 Replies
My sister told her teenage son that if he didn't smoke, she'd buy him the car he wants (within reason) for his highschool graduation.
Do you think bribery like this is a good idea?
I just have been teaching mine the benefits of not smoking and the risks of smoking. They see their father struggling every day to quit (he uses an e-cig now with less nicotine as a way to step down and stop), and they see me, someone who has never smoked a day in her life. I think they get it and understand why it's a dumb thing to do.
Quoting momto3B:Personally, I would not. My kids have been told since they were very little that smoking is "DISGUSTING!!" and virtually no one they know personally smokes. No too worried that they will pick it up. If they did, my answer would be, you will not be driving any car until you quit.
Bribery is not a good idea because her son will not learn the dangers of smoking. My DD is 8 and I am teaching her what smoking and second hand smoke does to the body. Unfortunately we have a lot of family members who smoke and I have told her to politely excuse herself when they light up around her. She did tell me that cigs are gross and she will never smoke. So, hopefully that attitude will stick. My in-laws smoking actually helped DD see how disgusting of a habit it is.
You should tell your sis that she should try a different approach. What she is doing is not teaching her son anything and she is not being a very good role model. Hope it works out for her.

I've been on a search, a quest, a hunt. I've been looking for my kindreds, my tribe. I had been on this search, on and off, throughout most of my adult life, starting in my teens. It may have even started younger than my teens, but I have a distinct memory in ninth grade (around age 13) of wanting desperately to connect with another ninth grade girl. We did connect, she and I, and spent most of our ninth grade year skipping down the halls at school, killing Smurfs, and convincing each other to run away from home, to find ourselves, to be rebels, to break the mold.
I loved this girl with a passion I can't really describe. We remained best friends on into high school, even when we ended up in different schools and eventually in different cities. This was a time before the internet, when long distance phone calls were a real and expensive thing. I remember writing her letters though I couldn't tell you if I ever sent them.
I had other kindreds in high school too. Girls becoming women, each of us holding each other close in our hearts. I'm still in touch with some of these amazing women and still consider them kindreds, no, really sisters, even though we may only see each other or talk to each other a couple times a year. When we do have those moments of connecting in real time it is as if we were never apart and I love the ease of our relationships.
When I became a mama I felt like my world was turned upside down. I had a couple of kindreds who had become mamas themselves around the same time. One kindred and I have had a tumultuous journey together, almost losing each other to our own stubbornness and misunderstandings. In the end our love for each other won out and we moved back into our place of love and acceptance of each other, letting go of our judging and short-sightedness. Sometimes friendships need to go through that so that both people can come out the other side transformed, not better, but different, with new perspective of both each other and themselves. Sometimes friendships don't survive these upheavals and I have lost my share of friends over the years, friends who I have cried endless tears for, friends who I have reached out to in my own way, yet never quite reconnected with.
But becoming a mama led me to want to build my local tribe and village. I tried to force it, demand it. It worked and it didn't. I spent several years seeking not really seeing what was right in front of me, not really seeing the beautiful friendships that were growing and blossoming right there in my day to day or the ones that had been there all along.
That is the trick isn't it? Knowing when you have found "your people." Some of my friends are kindreds and some are sisters and some are friends, and each person is one of My People and special and wonderful to me. Each person wants to be in my life as much as I want to be in theirs. Each one of these amazing people I trust with my heart, some in different ways than others, and yet each of them holds me up in their way and I hope they each feel me holding them up too.
Where I've wasted time on my search, in my seeking, is when I have pursued, sometimes desperately, people who weren't My People, weren't My Tribe. When I've tried so desperately to fit in, when I didn't slow down to realize that we weren't a fit, for whatever reasons. This lead to hurt feelings, both mine and others. This lead to anger and resentment. This lead to frustration and heartbreak.
Through the tears, my vision would start to clear and I would see how this person or that was not one of My People. This didn't make them bad or less than, simply Not Mine.
As my vision cleared and I slowed down my pursuit of the Not My People, space opened for more of My People to enter my life. When I look at the people who gather around me today, some in real life and some virtually, I feel such a deep gratitude. Gratitude for each of them and for the woman I have become.
I love finding My People. In many ways I will always be looking for and open to expanding my tribe, making new friends and finding new kindreds. Yet today, right now, I see the abundance of beautiful women and men I have in my life, who I circle with, who I commune with, who I text all day with, who I only see once or twice a year or who I have never met in person.
So this is my love letter to each of you. To you who has known me since I was four years old. To you who opened your home so I could meet you and another kindred a few short months ago. To you who was brave and came to my home for an open play date years ago. To you who lived down the hall. To you who I killed Smurfs with. To you who saved me from going on the road with that rock band. To you whom I roomed with for two glorious years in college. To you who I text almost daily with. To you who lovingly helped me clean out our Formerly-Known-As-the-Art-Room after my surgery. To you who shared the journey of pregnancy and birthing classes with me. To you who I bake cookies with every December. To my true sister, my blood sister who I love so deeply and dearly. To you who opened her hotel room to me. To you who hand wrote me a love note, helping me stay on my path. To you who sent me a necklace with my spirit guide animal when I was in the throes of depression. To all of you who I haven't mentioned specifically. I love you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey and for being a part of mine. Thank you for guiding me to me.


text: If someone has a TA-082 and wanted to try not change the ID Storage keys, could they go to 3.50 HEN then just run the 3.51 M33 update? Since you are on homebrew enabled 3.50 it should work shouldn't it? Then your ID Storage keys are intact, and you can return to Sony firmware if you so choose. I think the only problem with this is if you want to go to 1.5 afterwards you have to somehow corrupt the keys from 3.51 M33 or go to 3.50 again and downgrade it to 1.5 properly.... But anyway, is it possible?

1. Naming a Father
1: 'NAMING X' Form
Genre of Story: Dramedy play-script
Time Period/Location: Modern Day(ish), United Kingdom
Brief Plot: The story isn't about him but rather his daughter, but it's his death that sets the story in motion.
Character Description: He's a madcap painter who is a total people magnet. His wife is the opposite- very no-nonsense and reminder this, alarm that, lunches with clients etc. He isn't too concerned about what people think about him and paints because he loves it and because it delights everyone else. His daughter gets lots of her mannerisms and quirks from him as well. I need "dad" sounding names, and if it helps he's Irish and Welsh so those types of names would be appreciated. Oh, and his last name is Sheehy.
Immediate Family (if relevant): His wife is French and her name is Annette, he has a brother named George and I'd rather not share the main character's name because it's not an actual name but rather a Gaelic word although she has her name for a very special reason. What I need is a father's name, not opinions on the other characters.
Already Considered (if relevant): Hubert which I love for him, he'd be nicknamed Bertie, but it's not set in stone yet. Also Gerald, Charles and Gregory.
Don't Suggest These Names: Anything not from Ireland, Wales, Britain or Scotland please
Anything else?: I'm looking specifically for names that would have been popular 40 or so more years ago, proper dad age.
Thanks in advance!I have come in from the ocean, I have come in from the sea
And I'll not go to the waves, love, lest ye come along with me

Hubert feels more grandad than dad to me. If he's got a brother George then Gregory and Gerald would work as having both G names, and both are dad-sounding names, while Charles also works in a much more regal pairing with George.
Other suggestions (basically, just firing out names of men I know that are 40-50 ish)
Tony (usually as a nickname for Anthony)
Anna Katherine * Lydia Ellen * Zoe Madeleine * Phoebe ___ * Imogen ___ * Emilia ___Samuel * Thomas * Charlie * Reuben * Oliver * George

Does working long hours make you a bad father? Men who do overtime are more likely to have 'delinquent and aggressive' sons
- Study found that fathers who work more than 55 hours a week are more likely to have badly behaved sons
- These hours did not affect daughters and a mother's working hours were not found to impact their son's behaviour
Fathers who work more than 55 hours a week are likely to have sons that exhibit delinquent behaviours, according to research from the Social Science Research Centre in Berlin
Boys whose fathers work very long hours are more likely to become tearaways, according to new research.
A study of more than 1,400 children found those whose fathers worked more than 55 hours a week were more delinquent and aggressive than their peers, yet the same phenomenon was not identified in daughters.
Further research now needs to be carried out to discover why this happens in males, and to look for ways to tackle it.
The study was run by the Social Science Research Centre in Berlin, but was based in Western Australia where one in five fathers work at least 55 hours week when their children were between five and eight.
Mothers' working hours did not seem to matter, although few Australian mothers worked long hours, according to the study, and no firm conclusions could be drawn from this comparison.
The culture of working long hours, which has crept into many jobs should be the next policy frontier, said the researchers.
In Germany, 15 per cent of fathers of children aged three and four worked 55 or more hours a week in 2011.
Dr Jianghong Li, of The Social Science Research Centre, Berlin, said: 'It is possible when fathers work very long hours, children are less well monitored after school, especially if mothers also work full time hours.
'There is some evidence pre-adolescent boys are less well monitored than girls when fathers have high work related demands, including long hours, and as a consequence have more conduct problems.'
The children's behaviour was monitored by the researchers when they were five, eight and ten using a recognised checklist.
The researchers claim the behaviours may be due to the fact when fathers work long hours, children are monitored less after school, especially if mothers also work full-time. However, they add that more research needs to be carried out into why it doesn't happen with daughters
Workaholics have been warned they risk harming their physical and mental wellbeing by staying at their desk more than 50 hours a week.
The research, by doctoral student Sarah Asebedo at the College of Human Ecology's personal financial planning and conflict resolution program in Minnesota, found that so-called workaholics were more likely to get ill because of skipping meals.
They also found that working long hours was associated with a higher score in tests for depression.
Dr Li said: 'Although the average amount of time parents spend with their children has increased in recent years, the quantity and quality of parent-child time is still raised as a concern.
'Studies in the U.S and Australia point to a desire among parents to work fewer hours and spend more time with their children and a wish among children parents would come home from work less tired and stressed.
'The findings on fathers' long work hours are associated with higher levels of child behavioural problems is important, given the limited prior research specifically examining fathers' work hours.'
Policy has traditionally focused on enabling flexibility for mothers in balancing their work and family responsibilities.
Added Dr Li: 'The results of this study challenge public and policy concern that mothers' absence due to paid work may have a negative impact on children's development.
'This study provides evidence to support equal opportunities for mothers and fathers to share parenting and work responsibilities.
'Instead of focusing on negative effects of mothers' work hours, policy attention should be given to negative consequences of fathers' long work hours for children's emotional well being.
'Fathers should be given incentives not to work long hours but to have a greater share of parenting responsibilities.'
The findings were reported in the Journal of Marriage and Family.

Paramore have never claimed to be a Christian band, but a "band with Christians in it." That's a reasonable distinction for rock musicians. Fairly or not, there's a stigma attached to the former, while the latter leaves plenty of wiggle room: You may believe in God, but you won't let it stop you from achieving success by any means necessary. As a result, proclaiming Christian faith means less every time an artist does it — as many in Nashville do.
Still, a confession of faith, however mealy-mouthed, cannot be entirely divorced from a band's work. (See Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2 for just one example of our culture's obsession with decoding divine intent.) Which is why the circumstances surrounding Paramore's recent fissure are so interesting. It's the latest public eruption of the ongoing tension between Nashville's Bible Belt underpinnings and the music industry's Dionysian demands, with artists trying to stake out an identity in between.
The exit of Zac and Josh Farro from the band has by now been well-documented. In short, the remaining members — Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Jeremy Davis — issued a conciliatory statement through the band's website just before Christmas letting fans know about the brothers' departure, alongside wishes for their continued happiness. Paramore-dom was justifiably demure — the brothers helped found the band, Josh being its primary songwriter — but not defeated. That is, until the Farros took to Josh's blog three days later to describe in unflinching terms their version of the band's rise and fall.
In 14 paragraphs, we learned much that wasn't previously known with any certainty, including that Williams' name is the only one on Paramore's contract with Atlantic (enhancing the notion that, as a business concern, she's the only member who ever mattered); and that Paramore were essentially placed on the indie label Fueled by Ramen to create the illusion that they weren't the "manufactured product of a major label." Perhaps most tellingly, the post said that Zac and Josh had grown apart spiritually from Williams, their differences being summed up with an invocation of the Old Testament: "Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction"?
It's a struggle that haunts bands in Nashville more than perhaps anywhere else in the country. Nashville's rich, rococo entertainment behemoth, largely built on country and Christian music, is in an ever-present struggle with the religious principles that undergird its success. We love our neighbors until they're competing with us for the spotlight. We cherish authenticity but cower and flinch when it demands something from us. We are a city of passionately confused souls, the line between success and compromise blurred at every turn.
That struggle is as old as Nashville's music industry itself. As you're ferried down the moving sidewalk in Terminal A through Nashville International Airport, you see a Hatch Show Print exhibit featuring artists predominantly linked to Music City's country heritage. Their likenesses have been rendered with wholesome charm — ambassadors of the city's rough and rowdy honky-tonk legacy, sanitized for your protection. Look closely and you'll also notice a letterpress poster announcing Paramore's hometown show at The Ryman in 2009, its small size barely a hint of the band's magnitude then or since.
It's sort of an odd scene: Paramore, a young, rambunctious band whose Grammy-nominated sound is anything but traditional, amid the vanilla icons of country's Golden Age. Insofar as the exhibit simply depicts the evolution of popular Nashville music, the pairing isn't so strange. But the gulf between the eras of Paramore and Ernest Tubb is vast. Even if country legends were singing "I Saw the Light" on the Opry's stage before ducking across the alley into Lower Broad's saloons, they were expected to uphold a public position of God-fearing piety. In those spit-and-polish days, artists attempted to mask the trials of the flesh by maintaining a pristine, god-like veneer.
Paramore, however, rip straight into us with rock bombast and messy hair, a performance of theatrical proportions masking something else entirely: the trials of the soul. The shift that took us from country's squeaky-clean Golden Age to our present era brought with it an enhanced imperative of truthfulness. There was a trade-off of sorts that saw us casually demand more earnestness from popular acts as they transformed from "entertainers" into "artists." Suffice it to say, however, that this imperative has taken its toll on the conscience of every aspiring musician in Nashville who claims to follow Christ's teachings. Outwardly or inwardly, they ask: Is it necessary to acknowledge faith in a higher power? And if so, how openly?
As details of Paramore's rupture came to light, the usual suspects (e.g., "creative differences") never entered the conversation. Instead, we were treated to a rare glimpse inside the unique torments of a mega-band groomed in the Bible belt, the sensitivity of evolving worldviews ushered front-and-center. Even MTV's James Montgomery raised the faith issue in his "Last Word" interview with Williams, York and Davis, but spent far more time focused on label politics. Should he have pursued the issue further? Probably. Paramore have long flown under the popular "Christians in a band, but not a Christian band" banner, so a few more questions down that line would've been germane. On the other hand, the significance of the band's schism is perhaps best understood by their neighbors — we who come across artists every day conflicted about their religious beliefs or upbringing, aggravated that everyone around them is so religious, or both. Faith is inseparable from the experience of this city.
Few places other than Music City give us the opportunity to watch the tension between art, commerce and the "honesty imperative" play out so publicly. And the simplicity of the Farros' statement is telling. As a business and religious concern, the "truth," while no longer shared with Williams in the way they conceive it, set the brothers free. Bless them. For once a couple of "Christians in a band" said what they really think.

National police chief Adul Saengsingkaew on Tuesday issued an urgent order to transfer the superintendent of Muang Chachoengsao police station to the Operation Centre of the Royal Thai Police in Bangkok with immediate effect.
Pol Col Sanan Boonphuen will cease to be superintendent of the station and will not be reinstated unless another official order on his position is made.
The urgent transfer order, made via police radio communication, was the result of a visit to Chachoengsao police station by deputy police chief Pol Gen Ek Angsananond, according to a report in Daily News.
Pol Gen Ek found that the operation of the station was not in line with cleanliness and tidiness policies set by the national police chief.
The deputy police chief found graffiti on the walls in detention cells, while several other areas in the station were dirty.
The police chief has assigned Pol Maj Gen Cherdchai Sekanand, acting commander of Chachoengsao police, to evaluate why Pol Col Sanan failed to oversee the station properly, before reporting back to the police chief.
Pol Gen Adul is known for telling police of all ranks to make sure police stations are kept clean and tidy, since they are the place that members of the public first make contact with the police.
He has warned previously that police chiefs who fail to maintain their stations would be punished, but this is the first case in which a superintendant has been transferred because of an unclean station.
Pol Gen Adul became police chief on Oct 1, 2012.
He said in a speech to subordinates in the past: "An untidy garden, a washed-out building, a filthy police station and a dejected superintendent - we can't let this go on."
Pol Col Sanan later said the station was in the process of renovation so things were untidy and the station also did not have sufficient space to stored seized motorcycles. However, he respected the decision.
There are two others police stations in Bangkok which are Nang Leng and Pathumwan stations that should urgently clean the stations to avoid similar urgent transfer.

Beyond the Book
As reviewer Marnie Colton points out in her blog post at BookBrowse, biographies in poetry form allow for freedom of expression that a more constraining non-fiction prose form might not. Marnie calls the biography-in-verse "a dynamic form that allows poets to revisit the lives of their subjects through imagery, rhythm, and metaphor instead of the more rigid bounds of chronology that biographers must follow. Considering that biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs usually make a strong showing on bestseller lists, the poetic analogues to these forms deserve a wider audience and also provide an ideal introduction to newcomers wishing to dip a tentative toe into the rushing waters of poetry."

My beagle continually looks at me with disgust and disappointment from my lack of a grip. I told him I'm just waiting for the right one at the right place. Yet he walks away tail high and he lays out in the living room for the sun.
He forgives me momentarily when I give him a bacon treat. Maybe he just forgets because I can see it in his eyes when he sees me playing my vita. I say, "I just want to play Persona!", and he snaps back with "You can stop playing for second and go on amazon! Now give me bacon for your insolence!"

Neosho's fourth-quarter comeback attempt fell short as Vashon outlasted the Wildcats 61-57 Friday night in the consolation semifinals of the Kaminsky Classic at Young Gymnasium.
Neosho cut a 17-point Vashon lead to six points at 56-50 on a layup by Darrian Guillory with 1 minute, 52 seconds remaining.
Vashon then turned to its game-situation strategies as Neosho made five of 10 free throws in the last 1:14.
"Did we execute? Yes. Did we turn the ball over? Yes," said Vashon head coach DeAndre Davis. "This is what you want to get ironed out by March. You try to come away from here better than when you came."
Neosho led nearly all of the first half even though the Wildcats had just one field goal in the first quarter, a 3-pointer by sophomore forward Caden Hendricks. The Wildcats scored five quick points late in the half on a layup and a 3-pointer by Hendricks, who led the Wildcats with 19 points, and went into halftime with a 26-21 lead.
"I can speak for both teams coming off 30-point defeats," Davis said. "It was a little hesitant on both teams."
Jefferson City defeated Vashon 66-38 in the first round, while Neosho fell to Webster Groves 71-17.
Vashon's pressing defense created turnovers that led to layups as the Wolverines, led by Derrick Mitchell, outscored Neosho 25-3 in the third quarter. Mitchell finished with 19 points had teammate Damien Taylor scored 12 points.
Neosho head coach Jason Horn attributed the surge to defensive changes Vashon made at halftime.
"They made a good adjustment. They switched to a zone and slowed us down," Horn said. "That took a lot of momentum from us."
Neosho answered by outscoring Vashon 10-2 in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter, including seven points by Hendricks, and reduced Vashon's lead to 48-39.
"They played hard. They had a little more confidence in themselves," Horn said. "That's the first time we've really fought back when we faced adversity. They played their hearts out. They worked hard."
From there, the Wolverines were without starting guard Brandon Jones, a sophomore who fouled out with 5:52 remaining.
The Wildcats cut the lead to 57-53 on an offensive rebound and basket by Andy Lett with 1:11 remaining but could come no closer than four points the rest of the way. Lett scored 16 points, including 11 of 12 free throws.
"They ran their plays throughout. I knew they would," Davis said. "That's a fiesty group. We didn't beat them. We outlasted them."
A. J. Maloney scored 21 points as Word of Life advanced to the fifth-place game at 12:30 p.m. today, where the Fire will face Vashon.
Maloney, a 5-foot-7 senior, scored 12 of his points in the second half. The Fire led 38-32 at halftime.
Alex Ball of William Chrisman scored 17 of his 23 points in the first half, including three 3-pointers. Teammate Chris Horn scored 13 points.
William Chrisman will play Neosho for seventh place at 11 a.m. today.
