Nothing fancy, you see, just a fun father-son outing to a place of Jonathan's choice. "We'll never see this again," Remenschneider said as eight members of the Stockton-Palmer wedding party hoisted a 275-pound reticulated python over their shoulders. The Remenschneiders were just two of the dozens of surprised patrons treated to the Snake Farm's first-ever wedding, a ceremony whose only nod to tradition occurred in the by-the-book civil proceeding administered by Justice of the Peace William Schroeder. Schroeder, who said he once turned down the opportunity to wed a pair of nudists, beat a hasty retreat, skipping a series of post-ceremony activities specially arranged for the bride and groom. Let the record reflect that on the grounds of this warehouse of reptilian wonders, Michael Stockton, 23, wed Danita Palmer, 18, w ith about 20 family and friends looking on. Just west of the gator pond, under a sparsely decorated shelter covering a dozen or so picnic K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Danita Palmer and Michael Stockton exchange their wedding vows. The balloon over their heads was draped with plastic toy shaped like a snake. tables, Stockton and Palmer said their "I do s" in front of an altar fashioned from a folding table and crepe paper. The bride was elegant in white spaghetti-strap gown and matching accessories; the groom dressed in an olive shill over tan pants topping a pair of black, w eathered Converse All-Stars. A reception followed at the gator pond w here Stockton and Palmer gingerly tossed enough w hole chickens and chicken parts to satisfy the population of a Louisiana sw amp. A variety of gators and crocs (and w hat must have been a very lonely turtle) grow led and postured as bride and groom spread the spoils. The highlight, however, came when Snake Farm owner John Mellyn muscled the python from its indoor display, where only hours before it had devoured its normal lunch of 50 to 60 pounds of rabbit. Once outside, the 20-foot beast now the circumference of a large coffee can skittishly eluded Mellyn's attempts to w rap the bride and groom. Finally, the snake calmed and Mellyn brought it over Stockton's and Palmer's shoulders. Soon, the whole wedding party moved in, positioning themselves like trusses holding the weight of iron rails. The python bonding experience was a fitting end to a day that didn't quite get started when See SNAKE/5A Council toys with tax options FLUME Councilmembers shoot down Flume proposals By Jo Lee Ferguson Staff Writer Another lengthy debate about how New Braunfels uses its sales tax revenues ended Monday with only one thing for certain: The discussion isn't over yet. C ouncil turned down two motions by council-w o rn a n Debbie Flume to ask voters to abolish the city's economic development sales tax. In each of her motions, the sales tax would be transferred to other purposes, either property tax reduction or streets and drainage. But even as council voted down both of Flume's motions, they toyed w ith other ideas to change the structure and use of the city's sales tax. Councilman Larry Alexander said he would bring a motion to the next council meeting on July 24 to ask v oters to add to the uses of a portion of the city 's sales taxes. The city currently collects a 4B sales tax, w hich refers to the law that created the tax, that is split between two categories of projects. One-eighth of I percent is dedicated to streets and drainage. One-eighth of I percent is dedicated to other community improvements projects. However, when voters approved that portion of the tax in 1445, they did not include all the possible legal uses, including affordable housing and sports venues. The cit) also collects the 4A sales tax, also named for its enabling legislation, for economic development. That sales tax also is one-eighth of I per cent. Council previously approved a proposal from Flume to ask In Other Action New Braunfels city council on Monday also: • Gave second approval to an ordinance increasing the minimum fine for littering; • Gave second approval to an ordinance establishing an enterprise zone and reinvestment zone in New Braunfels. Companies locating in the enterprise zone are eligible to receive local and state economic incentives; and • Appointed Charles R. Gallagher to the New Braunfels Arts Commission. rv Late Monday night the council still was considering providing a citywide newsletter to New Braunfels residents. voters to add sports venues to the possible uses. Alexander wants to ask voters to include all other possible uses. "I'm an advocate of affordable housing," Alexander said adding that if the money is going to be opened up to sports venues, it should be opened to all other uses. However, Mayor Stoney Williams asked council to delav discussion until the next meeting so the public could prov ide input. Close to IOO people attended the standing-room only meeting, speaking for and against Flume's proposals. Flume previously proposed asking voters to abolish the sales tax the city collects for economic development. At the same time, she proposed asking v v'U rs to transfer that tax for pi openy tax reduction. See COUNCILy5A Outfitters report big weekend Comal tube supplies fall short of demand By Ron Maloney Staff Writer River outfitters and folks in the recreation business reported a huge Saturday on the Comal and lower Guadalupe rivers as tubers, boaters find swimmers sought to escape temperatures in the mid-40s. The National Weather Service reports a continuing wave of humid summer heat that could this week push temperatures to three digits. "We were busy this weekend," said Steven Simpson, who works at the Prince Solms tube chute. "Saturday on the Comal River was busier than the Fourth of July. I think all the families decided to show up." Simpson said the city's operation, run by New Braunfels Parks & Recreation Department, ran out of tubes twice Saturday afternoon. But running out of tubes wasn't an uncommon situation, he said. "I heard Rockin' R ran out a couple times, too," he said. Zero Rivers, owner of Rockin' R River Rides, has operations on both rivers. Rivers said Rockin' R was, well ... rocking. "Up until Sunday, we had a record-breaking season on both rivers," he said, although things fell off a little on Sunday. "We broke records on both holidays. Every weekend, we just about outdid what we did last year." Rivers said the 60 cubic-feet-per-second flow into the Guadalupe River, which could be driving business to the Comal (Rockin' R has facilities on both rivers), is really "nothing new."

Media boutique Wiggin has boosted its partnership by two, with an external hire and its first internal promotion for more than three years.
The firm has swooped on Bird & Bird to hire media finance partner David Quli. It also promoted broadcast lawyer Richard McMorris to the partnership.
McMorris focuses on media rights management and broadcast regulation. Quli specialises in advising banks and financial institutions on media financing. Quli's clients include the Bank of Ireland and Ingenious Media.
Quli joined Bird & Bird as a partner in November 2005 from Richards Butler, where he was an associate.
The additions take Wiggin up to 14 partners. According to The Lawyer Rising 50, the firm turned over £9.3m in the last financial year.
Wiggin partner Caroline Kean said there was no formal process for promoting associates. "As a partnership we've never had to put anything to a vote yet. We're very open and informal," she said.
Kean added that future promotions would be considered where there is a business case.
In the past 12 months the firm has drawn up plans for an of counsel role and launched a sports practice with the hire of Michael Brader from Olswang.

Certified & Registered Yoga Teacher
Yoga has completely transformed my life. I love it! This sacred practice has allowed me to heal wounds that I struggled with for many years. I discovered yoga in 2002 and found it to immediately awaken my spiritual, emotional and physical bodies.
I received my teaching certification through Bhumi's Yoga and Wellness Center and have been teaching since 2005. I love to share yoga with anyone willing to open themselves up to this healing, sacred, and transformational practice.
My first opportunity to teach yoga was to women in shelter at the Domestic Violence Center in Cleveland.
I am so thankful to the wonderful teachers that have inspired me and continue to move me in my life and my teachings. I teach students in all levels -- beginners to the very advanced student. My classes are filled with the opportunity to dig deep within yourself to discover the true peace and joy that exists. I am inspired by many disciplines and styles of yoga; particularly Jivamukti, Ashtanga and Isha Yoga.

Your floating hunting camp,
the 50' "Nauti-Lady"
Spring black bear hunts are in May.
Highly successful, these spring black bear hunts are a great Alaskan experience for both bow hunters and riflemen. Gathering a group of friends or making this a family outing- either way, you are sure to have a memorable time for you and your group. At Bob's Trophy Charters, as a small outfitter, we can cater to each group we take out hunting for that added personal attention.
Using the 50' boat or one of our 6-packs as a mother ship, we travel out of Homer about 4 hours to some prime hunting grounds. You'll ride around the islands by boat hunting for the big black bear of your choice. Spring bears, just out of hibernation, feed along the shore and can be seen from the boat. Once you have made your selection from the boat, we can put you ashore in a rigid hull inflatable, engine driven naiad or zodiac. Once ashore, you should have your bear in short order since these bears do not have predators from the sea and pay little attention to boats. At this time of the year, the bears sport their thickest, un-rubbed coat which is especially nice for making the pelt into a bear rug. We have averaged 200 - 450 lb. bears that squared up to 6 1/2 feet. Bear meat is good to eat. For those who don't want to mingle with the bears, you can hunt from the boat.
Hunting by boat makes it confortable since the boat is a safe dry place to eat and sleep. While on the hunt, we will overnight you in a beautiful cove while the captain and crew prepare all your meals and cook for you in a family type atmosphere.
Another benefit to hunting by boat is that we offer a couple days of fishing as well. Plan on taking home the fish you catch also. What a great and varied experience to fish, relax and hunt in pristine surroundings with your friends or family and a friendly crew.
Sportsmen fly into Anchorage and then usually take a commuter down to Homer. We put you up for the night before the trip in one of our rooms above the office where we can help to get you ready for the next morning's departure. Upon your return, we can assist you in finding a local taxidermist or processor for the care of your hide and meat.
The per day cost for 1-4 hunters is $2400. We recommend a 4-5 day hunt to allow for any weather considerations.
A 50% deposit is required to confirm your hunting reservation. Refunds are given with a 30 day notice or more notice of your need to cancel.
A resident Hunting and Fishing license is $69. A Non- Resident hunting and sport fishing license is $305. A nonresident hunting license is $160 and the bear tag is $450. A non- resident fishing license is $25 for 1 day, $45 for 3 days and $70 for 7 days if you are going to fish only on select days.

Song Notes: I don't know much about Jem, other than she shares her name (real name, I believe) with the cartoon of course. She doesn't sound like the cartoon Jem though, I'd say she's fairly similar to Dido, albeit quite a bit better and more interesting musically (production-wise) IMO. - Aila

Freeland fuel plume in check, lab results indicate
The road to success
By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Freeland's water supply appears to be under little immediate threat from a 2005 fuel spill on Main Street, state regulators have announced. Four additional groundwater monitoring wells were dug on select properties between Main Street and Highway 525 in December, and preliminary test results of water samples revealed contamination from petroleum compounds in only one of the four — the well located closest to the spill site. The results indicate the underground "plume" is not moving quickly toward large wells on Scenic Avenue that supply most of Freeland's water. "It's good news," said Diane Escobedo, a project lead with the state Department of Ecology. "To see that we have clean wells, if we step out from the gas station a bit, is really good news." This was what Freeland Water and Sewer District officials had been hoping to hear since the samples were collected last month. The possibility that the plume was moving through the aquifer toward the district's primary wells across Highway 525 was unsettling, and several officials expressed relief following the announcement. "It's very good news," Commissioner Lou Malzone said. "It was a scary thing." The district's wells supply water to about 90 commercial businesses and about 400 residences in the area. Escobedo did warn, SEE WATER, A11

A Driftwood Way home abandoned since a massive landslide made national headlines in 2013 burned to the ground Sunday night. The house, a double-wide manufactured home, was red-tagged by Island County following the disaster in Ledgewood last March as unsafe to enter or live. The house had slid toward the shoreline during the landslide and part of it teetered over the edge of a mound. The landslide destroyed a section of Driftwood Way and left firefighters Sunday with several challenges to overcome before they could extinguish the blaze. With a portion of the road gone, the only access to the neighborhood is provided by a small, one-lane-wide road. The road's narrow width and a hairpin turn made it impossible for large fire engines to maneuver down to the neighborhood. Rather, three smaller brush apparatus responded to the Sunday evening fire, said Chad Michael, deputy chief of Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. The fire was reported by Ralph Young, who lives in a house atop of the bluff overlooking the manufactured home. He was just getting ready for bed after celebrating the Seahawks victory when he spotted the fire. "It was quite an inferno," Young said when he reported the blaze. Michael said the fire had engulfed the home by the time firefighters arrived on Driftwood Way, about 10

Article by: Shekhar Srivastava
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
If you have started reading, read it to the finish. You might not like the beginning but it will make you think at the last. Somehow, you may think that this is funny, but read it to the last.
People are divided in religions, casts and richness. In spite of talking about all these things, we will talk about two types of peoples. Some are selfish, they think about themselves and some are unselfish, they think about others before thinking of themselves.
You might have read in comics and cartoons that when God becomes happy with a person, he gifts him three wishes that will be fulfilled. What if the same happens with you? Selfish persons will say, '1) Make me the richest man on the Earth. 2) Make me live forever. 3) Gift me 10 wishes more.' A selfish person will never be satisfied with what he has. He would have never closed his mouth. He will desire for more and more. He will cheat God.
But an unselfish would never do this. He would have said, '1) Make all the poor happy for always. 2) There should be no illiterate in this World. 3) Take everything from me and give it to those who need it.' He will never cheat God by saying on the last wish, 'Gift me more wishes'. He will never think of himself first. But I think there is no human in this World who will not be selfish. Ask about it from your heart. What will you do in this situation?

Wow, certainly made me think!
It made me think and I honesty wouldn't say any of those things. But I liked it though.
i lllllllllllooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee iiiitttt!
Wow, the best in time. Keep it up! a wonderful job
again i love it!
Thanks for sharing it with me.
i love it, and i hope you write more of shot stories like this
Wow, the best in time. Keep it up! a wonderful writing.
Again i love it!
Thanks for sharing it with me.
don't forget to comment on my stories also.
I asked myself ... sadly it turned out I am a very selfish person
Thanks for reminding me
Nice work
I like this story! It is an important story. Thanks for sharing...
After reading this, you have certainly made me think. Hard. Thinking hard, is as impossible to me as eating brussel sprouts. I can not stand eating those atrocious vegetables. Which is why I suppose I've spelt that wrong. But this article, for the very first time in my life, made thinking a curiousity for me. That, is a rarity. If I told my mother that, she'd have a heart attack. But any ways, thank you. Thinking isn't that hard after all. But I still won't eat my brussel sprouts.
Now, if I was in this position, I'd ask for a million more wishes. No, I was joking. I wouldn't wish for anything. I'm already superbly epic after all, what more could I possibly want?
Any ways, thank you for the request. I am off to read more of your radical works.
is it possible for a human to be born good or bad? how about be entirely good or bad? Thinking about how awesome you made that single question, it would be cool if you did those the same way! =)
But what if the unselfish person asks for ten more wishes and then they use that on helping those in need? They cannot then really be defined as selfish for wanting to help others. This had really made me think about it all. Will a person really be given three wishes in the first place if they are selfish? This really made me think, too much maybe. I'd like to think that I would be the unselfish person, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't ask to live forever, that's not something I want. And I don't think I'd ask to be the richest person ever, just rich. I'd still though probably ask for things that are selfish. Or I'd ask for a million more wishes so that I could be both selfish and then help those in need. Or I'd ask for enough money to be able to help and still have money left over to be rich. I'd try to find a way around it, to be able to do both. Well, this had made me think more than I originally thought, and I think I'll stop writing stuff before there becomes to much. All I can say is, great piece.
it was quite nice.. i was already about to think because i'd already wriiten something about this topic.. but totally different from your work .... anyways good job. keep on writing .gd day
it was quite nice.. i was already about to think because i'd already wriiten something about this topic.. but totally different from your work .... anyways good job. keep on writing .gd day
Awesome piece bro!! ..but yeah ..suppose a poor asks for some happiness ..wot you would say him?? Selfish or unselfish??
Thanks for reading!!! A poor person if asks for some happiness would not completely decide its nature...on circumstances, I would say that he would be an unselfish person because he is not asking to be the happiest man of the world... But we can't decide his or her nature completely....

On Saturday night, no fewer than seven of Boston and Providence's more prominent house music and techno DJs brought "BassWave," their traveling showcase of DJ styles to Good Life. The first BassWave night took place about a month ago in New Bedford, ground central for much of our area's DJ activity; it returns there, to Bar 908, on New Year's Eve.
It's 1am in Boston early Sunday morning, we're at Good Life on Kingston Street, and the downstairs dance floor is full -- fuller than full. DJ DERRICK CARTER has the people jumping all around. Hands rise and pump the air. Heather, whom this writer sees at many house music events, comes up to me and thanks me for bringing Carter's stuff to her attention (on FB of course).
Dance around town before the students roll back into town...
M|O|D @ Descent
The W Hotel's Electric Summer Music Series goes underground with the party crew DJ team of M|O|D. Trap Arnold, Lil Texas, and Rewrote go balls-out on the heavy bass party music circuit, and this shit will have you calling into work dead on Friday morning.
Last Friday night, ERICK MORILLO, one of the major creators of house music's second generation (1992 to 1999, when he was known as "Erick More"), dropped a 90-minute set at Quincy's Ocean Club at Marina Bay. Morillo doesn't often play the Boston area any more, yet by the huge number of mostly South American folks -- Morillo was born in Colombia and always works his roots -- who came to Ocean Club paying top dollar, it was clear that he still commands full loyalty from those who have sustained his music since he first founded Subliminal records, and before that.
Tributes celebrating the life of ADAM YAUCH have been everywhere since the Beastie Boy's passing on Friday (Daniel Brockman's Phoenix obit was posted this morning), from sporting events to nightclubs to street corners (I came home to find "RIP MCA" spray-painted on my Allston apartment building early Saturday morning).

BeschreibungWinner of the Carl Sandburg Award for Poetry Angela Jackson brings her remarkable linguistic and poetic gifts to the articulation of African-American experience. The recurrent motif of the spider, which she presents as both creator and predator, demonstrates her deliberate reshaping of myth in the context of contemporary human experience. Informed by African-American speech and poetic traditions, yet uniquely her own, these poems display Jackson's stylistic grace, her exuberance and vitality of spirit, and her emotional sensitivity and psychological insight.

It's a sad irony of modern living that the moment you're up close and personal with someone, your head in their armpit, their breath on your neck, is the moment at which you're most likely to be distracted by a multitude of ads for dating websites and apps promising to hook up you up with whatever creed, caste or predilection you'd care to specify.
Buses and tube carriages are crammed not only with lonely hearts, but also with their promised salvation. Match.com, eHarmony, Elite Singles, Attractive Professionals, Dirty Yuppies. (Only one of those is made up.) So even when you're out and about, you're gazing intently at someone you've never met on a screen, rather than twinkling at the one in the seat opposite.
I'm not against internet dating – it's the sexual revolution of our time. It's the liberation of our incomplete Platonic halves from tongue-tied chat-up lines and waiting for a call, from tearing around after good-looking people who aren't interested in us and trying to shake off bad-looking ones who are. It's a force for good.
But there's something about the profusion, immediacy and ubiquity of them now that is alarming. When I was last single, Tinder (now with 10 million active daily users) wasn't on the scene. Internet dating – while thankfully totally normalised since the days when everyone thought it was weird – was an option, but it wasn't an instinct. Now it's everywhere and most busy, young, single people use one form or another.
And why not? Tweeting over twinkling probably yields more romantic success in the long run. Thank goodness we're released from the creaky courtship rituals of yesteryear: no more despair at never meeting anyone; just log on and take control. No more mumbling your way over to a girl at the bar who probably already has a boyfriend.
Except that with the chat-up lines and dutch courage goes a natural equilibrium between the sexes. None of us are good at saying what we mean; now dating sites mean that we don't have to. They're easily abused in a way that exaggerates ever further the imbalance of power and the Mars v Venus between men and women, reinforcing stereotypes and negative associations.
I'm talking about the overwhelming use of these sites for casual sex and one-night hook-ups. There's a reason why My Single Friend became known colloquially as something else you do with an F. The GPS function of the mobile app Tinder fulfils not only the promise of finding you The One within a two-mile radius, it also means you don't have walk very far if you're lonely at 3am.
I have no moral problem with one-night stands, but I'm not convinced both genders sign up with this in mind. Certainly, they don't in equal numbers. That doesn't make women naive victims but it strengthens the age-old cliche that we're looking for love and you're just looking down our tops. And that doesn't help either side get what they want.
Then there's the inevitable superficiality that comes of choosing someone based on their profile picture rather than their personality. If that sounds self-righteous then, yes, the selection of a mate has always been shallow and emotionally brutal, but we don't need sites that make it even more so. Not at the point when women have gained their most equal footing, not among the first generation to have been brought up without the usual prejudices.
There's something distasteful about the ritual, which many users describe, of leering at possibles with your friends and laughing at the lower leagues. And there's something unsustainable about it too, in the same way that Photoshop and pornography impair our relationships with others and with ourselves.
Tinder's side-swiping pickiness reduces us to Henry VIII, poring over flattering portraits of young European princesses and then stamping his foot when the original fails to impress. It makes chattels of us all.
Bring back the old days of meat market discos: a fair and square means of getting off with someone you may not even like, while honing your skills for when you meet someone you do. Dating websites and apps don't teach us anything about nurturing a relationship or the fulfilment you can expect from a good one. In this way, we're like teenage boys, playing video games at home all day and then wondering why they find women so hard to talk to.

Interesting info from the YouTube link:
"To help launch a solo career following his days with The Monkees, Davy Jones made a guest appearance on ABC-TV's The Brady Bunch (Episode 12, Season 3 "Get Davy Jones") that aired on Dec. 20, 1971. He performed the Gimble/Fox-written song "Girl" that never quite took off. Davy appeared with Marcia Brady (Maureen McCormick) and legendary record producer Don Kirshner, who portrayed himself in the episode. Kirshner not only produced and managed The Monkees and Davy Jones, but rock groups and artists like Kansas, Neil Diamond and Carole King."
Huh. I knew the producer was someone famous but I thought it was Anton Chigurh.
RIP, Mr. Jones.

No holds barred: Amy and Blake's mothers go to war over the couple's downfall
By KATHRYN KNIGHT and SADIE NICHOLAS
Last updated at 22:31 17 May 2008
Instead, Blake Fielder-Civil languishes in Pentonville Prison, while his singer wife Amy Winehouse, 24, veers from one drug-addled crisis to another.
So what do her and Blake's families make of her car-crash life? This week, the Mail spoke exclusively to Amy's mother, Janis, and Blake's mother, Georgette.
Scroll down for more...
Amy and Blake's mothers have very different ideas on who is to blame for their downfall
Janis, 53, who is divorced from Amy's father Mitch, lives in North London and has been with her partner Tony for ten years. She says:
Last night, a friend came round with an old photo she'd found of our family, when we were all preparing to go to a bar mitzvah.
Amy is about 16 and looks so beautiful. Her lovely curly hair is tied back, and her body is free from all the horrible tattoos she's had in recent years.
She looks like a different woman from the one I saw at the weekend - rake-thin and covered in body art.
I thought: "God, Amy, what's happened to you?'" But then, with Amy, it sometimes feels like we're living through a motion picture - the music, the drugs, the drama. I've realised I can't control it, and I've stopped trying.
As it is, I've actually seen quite a lot of her in the past week. She has been recording some new songs at a studio in Henley, where she's also been staying, and I have visited her there three times.
Her state of mind varies. When I went a week ago, she had been up all night and was asleep most of the day, and on Friday she was a bit up and down.
Scroll down for more...
Janis Winehouse says that Amy never took hard drugs or self harmed before she was met husband Blake
But on Sunday she was more positive and had an appointment with a doctor to discuss treatment options. She did not say she was off drugs, but she said she was cutting down.
On Friday, she was a bit upset because she'd planned to visit her husband Blake in Pentonville Prison, where he's been on remand since last November - but the traffic into town was so terrible that she missed her slot and had to turn back.
Obviously, it's difficult to be sympathetic. Amy knows there's no love lost between Blake and me, and, let's be honest, no mother really wants to refer to her son-in-law as "my son-in-law in jail" do they?
Fundamentally, my partner Tony and I are trying to play this very low-key as far as Blake's concerned. He's got his own rubbish going on, and he's also making his own press even though he's in jail.
We saw something the other day about the fact that he'd got a new girlfriend who visits, and how he's going to get money from Amy, and I thought: "Oh, OK. Really?"
It's all in his head. They've been married, what, all of two minutes, maybe ten? He's been in prison for almost as long as they've been together. It's a joke.
But then so was the wedding, really. I wasn't upset by it because it meant nothing; nothing whatsoever. I think they were in Miami and got caught up in the moment, and that was it.
It was more like a picnic in the park than a wedding.
I know Mitch, Amy's father, was upset. He rang me to say: "Why has she done it, Janis?" He'd spoken to her the day before and she'd told him she was getting married. He had asked her not to, but to wait until she came back to England as he thought I'd be devastated.
Scroll down for more...
Since Blake has been in prison Amy has had various stints in rehab but mum Janis says she is still on the drugs
And Amy said: "OK, I'll wait, I promise." But of course she didn't.
It was the work of a moment - and that's how I chose to treat it. When I told my father that Amy had got married, he said: "Oh well, her next album will be about the divorce." And he's in his 80s.
As far as I'm concerned, Blake more than played his part in Amy's downfall. People I trust have told me that Amy didn't start on the hard drugs until she met Blake - and I think that says it all.
"Don't get me wrong: I know she dabbled in drugs before. I was aware of her smoking dope in her teens. But she was always adamant that she would never touch the hard stuff, that she didn't need it.
That all changed when she met Blake. She didn't start self-harming until Blake came along, either.
I know Georgette, Blake's mother, says the opposite and blames Amy for Blake's downfall. But that's absolute rubbish.
I think she's fighting a good case for her son so he gets a good payout from any divorce - although I, personally, find the concerned mother act a bit hard to swallow.
I've never met her, and I probably never will, and I certainly won't bother extending the hand of friendship because I believe she would only bite it off.
What I can tell you is that if Blake is expecting a bumper pay-off, then he is going to be disappointed.
I keep reading figures saying Amy is worth £10 million. Well, I handle her finances and I know exactly what she has - and she doesn't even have £1 million.
I haven't discussed any of this with Amy. She knows how I feel, but I don't want to turn her against me so we simply do not talk about Blake.
In her mind, she has fallen in love. She will only see the good in him, and there is no point trying to tell them otherwise. She has to be the one who recognises it for herself.
It's a delicate dance, and it's got to play itself out. In the meantime, I can only thank God that her body weight at the moment means she's unlikely to get pregnant.
Scroll down for more...
Blake has his court case coming up very shortly so we will see what happens. If he stays behind bars, I could sleep more easily at night because it might finally mean an opportunity for Amy to move on. But you also have to guard against her playing the lovelorn prison widow.
I was amused to read this week that a girl billing herself as his best friend said Blake wanted to go and live with her after he left prison.
I would say to her: "You're welcome to him." That would be the happiest arrangement for everyone.
As a mother, it's very hard when you can see your daughter hurting herself and you're helpless to do anything about it. Seeing the pictures of her smoking crack cocaine was devastating.
But then Amy has never been an easy child, and there is a part of her that needs constant drama. She always did exactly what she wanted to - and still does.
What Amy didn't have as a child was an awareness of consequences. It's like she's been wired differently, and I'm not sure there's much you can do to change that. It's part of what makes Amy the artist she is.
That doesn't mean that I'm not shocked, but I have to try to protect myself, too, because we have been back and forth so much recently and it's very upsetting.
But I don't think she's totally lost control. She's a girl who lives on the edge; she toys with it. But she has an awareness of it, too - and that will save her in the end.
Maybe it's just because I'm her mother, but I think Amy will have a resurrection, and everyone will say: "I thought she was going to kill herself - but here she is."
I wish I could wrap her in cotton wool, but she needs to find her own way through this.
Georgette Civil, 42, who has her own hair salon, lives in rural Nottinghamshire with her husband Giles, a headmaster. Her son Blake, 25, a former music industry runner, is on remand in prison, charged with perverting the course of justice and GBH.
Scroll down for more...
Georgette Civil says that while her sone Blake has been in prison he has come off the drugs and is more like the son she once knew
Georgette says:
Every week, I see countless photographs of my daughter-in-law's increasingly bad behaviour splashed across the newspapers and magazines.
Half-dressed, surrounded by hangers-on, Amy looks every bit the drug addict, with her thin frame, grubby fingernails and cuts on her arms.
But there's just one question that plays constantly on my mind: Where are Amy's parents, Mitch and Janis, in this sorry mess?
If Amy were our daughter, my husband Giles and I certainly wouldn't let her walk the streets in this state. She's got a strong father and a big PR machine around her. They should have come together to tackle her addictions, instead of leaving her to humiliate herself in the press every day.
I know how painful it is to see your child's demons played out so publicly in the newspapers. Until my son Blake was remanded in custody, he was constantly photographed with Amy.
Scroll down for more...
They spent last summer being pictured lurching from one bloodied, drug-fuelled incident to the next.
After a 'summit' last August between Giles and I, and Mitch and his second wife Jane, Amy and Blake checked into rehab. But they absconded a week later and their behaviour spiralled out of control.
It might seem odd for a mother to say this, but I was relieved when Blake was jailed in November. Parted from Amy, I felt it was his greatest chance - and hers - of beating the addiction to class A drugs.
Together, they were destroying one another. Apart, we felt they stood a chance of getting clean.
Nine months on, Blake's the boy we had before he moved to London and met Amy. He's charming and funny. He's been on a drug rehabilitation programme and has passed all recent random drugs tests.
Most importantly, he's finally taking responsibility for his behaviour - but Amy is not. For the nine months Blake's been inside, she's been a loose cannon.
Mitch earns a lot of money from Amy. Why doesn't he hire a couple of heavies to get rid of all the riff-raff who hang around at her house? Nobody would criticise him for that: they'd see a father trying to save his daughter.
Scroll down for more...
Or why doesn't he frogmarch her to the police station with her heroin and say: "I love her that much - prosecute her!" While I wouldn't wish prison on her, if it had the same effect on Amy as it has had on Blake, surely it would be worth it.
It's been very tough for Blake in prison. When he failed an early drugs test, he was put in solitary confinement and housed in a glass box when we went to visit.
Since then, while he's been getting his act together, Amy has been arrested for assault and questioned by police over video footage showing her allegedly smoking crack cocaine. She's missed a real opportunity to sort herself out.
When Blake was jailed, I suggested to her that she should go to rehab for the same length as time as he was in prison, so that they'd be in it together and clean when they came out the other side.
Astonishingly, she told me she didn't need rehab because she didn't have a problem.
Now, Blake is in solitary confinement again, at his own request, to keep himself away from the temptation of drugs.
He tells me: "Mum, I like being off drugs. I like myself again." Can you imagine what a gift it is for me to hear him say that? He's put on weight, lost the dark circles around his eyes and his skin is clearer.
And, for the first time in months, he's looking to the future. He has always loved books, and he's been talking to his dad and I about the possibility of buying a little book shop one day.
He still loves Amy, but he knows himself that he can't go back to her as she is at the moment, or to their home while it's continually being used for partying and drug-taking. He told her that the other week.
Scroll down for more...
He wrote to his dad and I to say that when he does get out, he wants to come home to us, or to stay with his friend Sarah, whom he met when he first moved to London. She doesn't do drugs and has been a tower of strength to us all.
Blake's made it clear to Amy that while he wants to be with her, he wants a different lifestyle. He wants to go on picnics and to museums, and remain drug-free. Why doesn't Amy channel the energy she puts into partying until 4am into getting herself better?
My greatest fear is that if he goes back to her, we'll be burying him within the year. I know he'd dearly love them to be together again - but only if they are both healthy and clean.
It's true that he has threatened on a number of occasions to divorce her, but he says that only in a bid to jolt her into seeking the help she desperately needs. I can state categorically that if Blake divorced Amy tomorrow, he wouldn't want a cent from her.
My last conversation with Amy was in April. I'd been to visit Blake, and I told her how well he looked. Then I vented my fears that if he's released, he'll go back to her and to drugs. She was furious - accusing me of having no faith in my son.
But it's her that I have no faith in. I haven't spoken to her since, although she did leave me a voice message asking about another of my visits to Blake.
She often doesn't turn up for her own prearranged visits with him. This breaks my heart, because he sits there waiting for her, only to be disappointed.
I'm very cross with Amy's mother, too. Janis has never said a nice thing about Blake. It's been too convenient for her to blame him for Amy's addiction.
In their position, Giles and I would have bundled her into a car and taken her somewhere where she'd be under medical surveillance 24 hours a day.
We'd been considering doing that with Blake before he was put into prison.
Both sets of parents have accepted that Amy and Blake's drugs problems were joint ones. But Amy's fallen farther and farther off the path, and I haven't seen Mitch and Janis do anything to prevent that.
Although we are not in touch, I believe Mitch is as scared as we are about what the hell will happen to them when Blake gets out.
Blake's trial starts on June 2 and he's nervous. We're all nervous. Giles will see Blake on May 31 to reassure him that whatever happens, we are very proud of him, and that we love him very much. Giles is the straight talker.
His permanent message to Blake is: "Get rid of Amy." He feels that Amy's let our son down again and again, and he doesn't want to see or speak to her again.
I don't believe she'll even turn up every day for the trial. If she does, she won't be on time, and I don't think she'll be there for the verdict.
At his last court hearing, she turned up late and off her head on drugs.
We've always said Blake's no angel, but we've tried to stand by him and do the right thing as parents. We hope, eventually, that his loving upbringing will kick in and he'll say: "I've had enough. I deserve a better life than this."

Think of this appetizer as deconstructed deviled eggs, with both a spicy sauce and a seasoning mix for dipping.
- 2 dozen quail eggs*
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- About 1 tbsp. wasabi paste
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup furikake*
Nutrition Information

- caloriesfromfat 65 %
- protein 4.2 g
- fat 8.9 g
- satfat 1.7 g
- carbohydrate 5.8 g
- fiber 0.5 g
- sodium 338 mg
- cholesterol 232 mg
How to Make It
Put quail eggs in a medium pot and cover with 2 in. cold water. Over high heat, bring to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Drain eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Crack shells all over, return to water, and let sit 2 minutes (this loosens the shells). Peel eggs.
Combine mayonnaise, wasabi to taste, sesame oil, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Put furikake in another small bowl. Serve both with eggs for dunking.
*Find quail eggs at Asian and farmers' markets and furikake--a savory mix of sesame seeds, seaweed, and dried fish--at well-stocked grocery stores, Japanese markets, and amazon.com

With this post i am starting a small series of posts about customizing and maintaining BloggerBuddy. As you know BloggerBuddy is built upon the Adobe framework, AIR. This actually allows a programmer to use web development techniques and languages (HTML, Javascript) on a desktop application. What makes it unique is that it flawlessly integrates on online services. So, essentially, BloggerBuddy is a web service, a "web site" if i may use the term. I've been asked before how you can change the width of the separator between the subscribed blogs and the feeds. It would be good if i added...
BloggerBuddy: Update to v0.5.1

The last couple of days my friend Sire brought to my attention a small problem on BloggerBuddy. There was a conversation on the update post here about it. What was happening is that on the individual feed view, i.e. when clicking on a specific feed to view posts from that blog only, the posts would be randomly ordered rather than ordered by date, as they should be. I also noticed that the same thing happened when you would do a search. Thanks to him i took another look at my code and i found out that i had a small problem. I fixed it and decided it is worth releasing a small update. This is now on...
BloggerBuddy: Small update to v0.5

Just two days have gone by and here i am with a minor update to my beloved BloggerBuddy. After a conversation with Raju i realized that if i want to motivate a migration from any reader to BloggerBuddy i should implement some kind of import. He gave me valuable feedback on the export type of Google Reader (which is the most popular among the readers i guess) and i looked better into it. I got a small export, tinkered a little with it and here i am with an update to v0.5 that actually adds this feature! The format that you can import is OPML. If you are using Google reader and want to try out...

I have been using BloggerBuddy since day one. It's not like me to use the software i write just because i think that someone else has done it better. But this time i think that this program is the best on the market for me. It suits my needs perfectly. Since day one i have had a better blogging experience with it. No more painful page by page opening, no more comment tracking no nothing. I just fire up BloggerBuddy and there i have it. All the posts from my friends' blogs that i haven't read yet in one place. I can still see that question in your face "why not Google reader or...

I've been upsent for quite some time now. This is because i was onto something. I was learning the framework of Adobe AIR. It's a quite nice tool for rapid desktop development with Web standards. You actually use Javascript and HTML to code desktop applications. In order to find my way around this new technology i needed a project. Some people find it convenient to learn by buying a book. What i do is i throw my self into some serious coding. That is my way of learning. So, i decided to go on with a project. It is called "BloggerBuddy" and it is an approach of mine on an RSS...

text: I have always said that I do not mind commercial links in members signatures. However please restrict this signature to a single slogan OR URL on ONE line in size 2 text. It is not fair on our paying advertisers if peoples signatures get as much exposure as their paid for adverts. It will also prove difficult for us to find paying advertisers. If all they have to do is join and place a large advert in their sig they will not bother to advertise. So please do advertise your wares, but keep this to a single slogan OR URL on one line in size 2 text only. Thanks for your cooperation

Yesterday, the Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy, announced new funding available for quake-affected farmers in Hurunui, Kaikoura and Marlborough.
The brochure is here.
The $5 million Earthquake Recovery Fund is divided into two options to give farmers, growers and foresters the right support depending on their needs:
For more information on both of the options, visit www.mpi.govt.nz/Kaikoura-earthquake.

A free and independent advisory service is being established to assist North Canterbury residents with their home insurance claims.
The pilot programme will be set up to deal with the specific insurance needs of residents following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake on 14 November 2016.
The new advisory service in North Canterbury will be funded by the Crown but led and resourced by Community Law.
Residents will be able to receive advice through face-to-face meetings with Community Law staff at a local hubs.
The government is working with the local authorities in Hurunui, Kaikoura and Marlborough to establish the local hubs and determine the best locations for these hubs.
The service, which was announced on 21 April by Civil Defence Minister and Minister Responsible for the Earthquake Commission Gerry Brownlee, will incorporate the experiences and learnings from the Residential Advisory Service (RAS), which has successfully assisted thousands of Christchurch residents with their insurance claims after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
Residents who would like to discuss this service directly with Community Law can ring them:
