|Draft Limited Liability Partnerships Regulations 2001 Draft Limited Liability (fees) Regulations 2001
Mr. Burnett: I, too, welcome you to the chairmanship of the Committee, Mr. Cunningham. I have had the good fortune to serve under your chairmanship on a number of occasions in the past. I shall try not to duplicate the points made by the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton (Mr. Gibb), many of which I agree with.
I regret that the LLP entity is not based on the partnership principle but on an ungainly mixture of company law and partnership law. During the passage of the Bill, I warned that that would give rise to confusion and conflict of law, and I still believe that that is the case. There will be considerable uncertainty and therefore discouragement to partnerships and individuals contemplating limited liability partnerships.
I would like the Minister to address a point about overseas LLPs. I understand that it is the Government's policy that overseas LLPs can trade in the United Kingdom. Will the Minister confirm that that is the case and that they are not disbarred from trading in the United Kingdom?
Personal members' liability was discussed at length during proceedings on the Limited Liability Partnerships Bill. Will the Minister confirm that there is no personal contractual liability for a member of an LLP, as distinct from the LLP itself? Will he also confirm that there will be liability in tort for a member of an LLP who is personally liable for negligence to a client or customer of an LLP, if that person has assumed personal responsibility for the advice?
A further aspect of that point is vicarious liability. If a member has personally delegated work to an employee of an LLP who is not a member, will the delegating member have vicarious personal liability? There is uncertainty in the professions and in business on that point, and we would welcome the Minister's comments.
I turn to taxation, particularly capital gains tax and rollover relief. If an asset has been rolled over into an LLP, will the Minister confirm that a charge to capital gains tax will not crystallise if it ceases to trade or if business activity ceases while the asset remains in its ownership? A number of practitioners have made that point because they are uncertain about the tax treatment of assets in such an event.
I said earlier that I did not want to repeat the points made by the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton; I look forward to hearing the Minister's response to them. The hon. Gentleman spoke about pre-legislative scrutiny by the Trade and Industry Committee, and consultation with outside bodies. Were there significant points of disagreement between the Select Committee, his Department, and other bodies and individuals? If there were, will the Minister explain what they were?
All sides share the common ground that the price of limited liability is full disclosure. Part II of the regulations relates to accounts and audit, and part III relates to the Companies Act 1985 and the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. However, I wish to refer particularly to the accounts and audit provisions. Will the Minister confirm that full disclosure will be required in the LLP's accounts of total turnover and members' profits, including their salary before the allocation of profits, irrespective of the LLP's turnover? In other words, will the accounts show the full amount taken by members from the LLP?
I also want the Minister to clarify the details, including the full amounts outstanding at the time of the accounting date of any mortgages, charges or any other formal security given by the LLP. That includes the property mortgaged and the sum outstanding.
I am brought to the matter of disclosure by the default provisions. The public should have access to full copies of any partnership agreement entered into by members of an LLP. Does the Minister agree? Those partnership agreements should be registered at Companies House[Interruption.] I wonder if I could get the Minister's attention?
Dr. Howells: I am listening.
Mr. Burnett: If there is not a partnership agreement, but heads of agreement or memorandums evidencing agreements, should they be registered at Companies House, so that anyone who so wishes can scrutinise them?
The price to be paid for limited liability is full disclosure, and in the case of an LLP, not only the accounts but matters such as the arrangements inter se its members should be available for scrutiny.
I turn to the fees regulations. How does the Minister measure the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Companies House? That would give some idea about the accountability of that organisation; presumably, it is accountable to Ministers. It would also give some idea as to how much control, if any, Ministers have over the prices that Companies House may charge for its services.
Finally, has the Minister's Department made any projection of the likely extent of take-up of LLP status in the business world in the next two or three years?
5.28 pm
Dr. Howells: As the hon. Member for Torridge and West Devon is in the Room at present
Mr. Burnett: I have been present throughout.
Dr. Howells: For the record, the hon. Gentleman has been present throughout, and as he is present now, I will deal with his questions first.
I will not go into detail about the efficiency, or otherwise, of Companies House. I consider it to be a very efficient operation. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will want to respond to that. He asked about LLPs that are based abroad. They can trade in the United Kingdom, but they must provide their name and the country where they are incorporated.
The hon. Gentleman asked me to confirm whether liability in tort for a member of an LLP who was personally liable was assumed personal liability. The answer to that is yes.
Mr. Burnett: Will the Minister give way?
Dr. Howells: I wish to make progress because time is running out.
The hon. Gentleman asked what would happen if a member of an LLP were to delegate to an employee of the LLP. A person is either a member or an employee of an LLP. If an employee of an LLP were negligent in the course of his employment, the LLP would be responsible for his actions in a similar way to companies or partnerships.
Mr. Burnett: Is the Minister saying that a member of an LLP cannot, under any circumstances, be vicariously liable in tort for any act or omission of an employee?
Dr. Howells: I can confirm that.
The hon. Member for Torridge and West Devon also asked whether LLPs should have to register a partnership agreement. Regulations 7 and 8 contain default provisions governing the rights and duties of members and cover such matters as the sharing of profits, management of the LLP and expulsion of members. They will apply only when there is no existing LLP agreement or such an agreement does not adequately deal with a particular issue.
The hon. Gentleman asked, in effect, why there was no statutory requirement for an LLP to have an agreement between its members. One main principle behind the concept of LLPs is to allow their members the freedom to arrange their internal business as they choose. Members are both the owners and managers, and it is only right for internal governance to be a matter for them. To impose statutory agreements on LLPs would be meaningless unless legislation also set out what such an agreement should contain, which would be almost impossible to define.
Mr. Burnett: I agree with the Minister; I do not question that at all. I believe in flexibility, but if LLP members sign, for want of a better expression, a partnership agreementheads of agreement, or a memorandum of understandingmust that be registered at Companies House for public scrutiny?
Dr. Howells: No, such agreements do not have to be registered, and I hope that that helps the hon. Gentleman.
The hon. Gentleman also asked about take-up of LLPs. Our research shows that the take-up will be about 8,000 over three years, which I accept is only our best guess. He also asked about the disclosure of accounts. Turnover, the total amount taken by members, profitsnot on public record because accounts are abbreviatedand the full amount of outstanding charges, which is the same as for companies, will be shown. We should remember that accounts are complicated, however.
The hon. Gentleman also asked about the measures of efficiency for Companies House. As I tried to make clear earlier, we consider Companies House to be a highly efficient operation. According to its writ, it must achieve public targets on efficiency savings of about 3 per cent. per annum. It has beaten that target over the years and, as I mentioned earlier, reduced its unit costs by more than 20 per cent. in real terms during the past four years. He also asked whether an LLP was required to register the membership agreement at Companies House. The answer is no, which I hope that he will accept. The agreement is confidential and akin to a partnership or shareholders' agreement. If I have missed any of the hon. Gentleman's questions, I will try to return to them.
Mr. Burnett rose
Dr. Howells: I will come back to the hon. Gentleman shortly, but we are running out of time and the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton asked several questions. I started to add them up and I think that I got as far as 13 sets of questions, which shows that he has been doing his homework or an expert has been briefing him
Mr. Gibb: It was my hon. Friend the Member for North Wiltshire (Mr. Gray).
Dr. Howells: I could tell that the Whip had briefed him.
Mr. Greg Pope (Hyndburn): He can do it in his sleep.
Dr. Howells: Indeed.
Mr. James Gray (North Wiltshire): The Minister will have noticed that I have not been paying as close attention to today's business as I should have been. I did not have to, because I have every confidence in my hon. Friend the Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, who knows this stuff inside out.

3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
2/3 c of sugar, plus more for rolling
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
strawberry jelly
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla until just mixed. Slowly add the flour mixture until a dough forms. Scoop the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the sugar. Place on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Press a thumbprint into each ball and fill each indentation with jelly. Bake until the edges of cookie are golden, about 15 minutes. Makes approximately 30 cookies.
Mint Chocolate Cookies - Alice Suroviec
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of butter
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
10 oz package chocolate and mint morsels
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by well rounded tablespoon onto un-greased baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until cookies are puffed and centers are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies
Gingerbread Cookies - Kathryn Nobles, mom to many!
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. dark molasses
1/4 c. water
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground allspice (I admit to not using this)
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
mini-chocolate chips
writing icing
Beat sugar, shortening, molasses and water in a large bowl on low speed until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients except chocolate chips/icing. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle wax paper with flour and roll the dough with a rolling pin until 1/4 inch think. Cut with gingerbread man cutter or any favorite cut-out, sometimes I use a Christmas stocking. Using a spatula, lift the gingerbread shape onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with mini chocolate chips...eyes, buttons. Bake approximately 5 minutes. Let cookies cool and then finish decorating with icing.
Some of my gingerbread men have only chocolate chips, others have a combination of chips/icing. This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Chocolate Oat Bars (no bake) - Kathryn Nobles
2 sticks of butter, melted
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. oats
3/4 c. peanut butter
8 oz. chocolate chips
In a saucepan on the stove, melt butter and add brown sugar and vanilla and mix well. When well blended, add oats and let cook for 5 - 10 minutes on low. In another saucepan melt peanut butter and chocolate chips together until smooth and creamy. In a 8 X 8 glass dish, layer oats on the bottom with peanut butter mixture in middle and oats on top. Refrigerate for at 2 - 3 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow bars to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cutting.
Happy Baking!

Pea soup, the good country food of peasant stock for generations previous, has started to reach gourmet-level prices in grocery stores for unknown reasons.
You can make your own at home for pennies a jar, and, at the same time restore it back to being a truly healthy, nourishing food.
If you have the storage space, you may wish to consider doing a big batch of this by doubling or tripling the recipe so that you are stocked up for the year.
This is a tested recipe from both Ball and Bernardin.
The recipe
Jar size choices: Either 1/4 litre (1/2 US pint / 250 ml / 8 oz) OR 1/2 litre (1 US pint / 500 ml/ 16 oz) OR 1 litre (1 US quart / 32 oz)
Processing method: Pressure canning
Yield: 5 x 1/2 litre (1 US pint) jars
Headspace: 3 cm (1 inch)
Processing pressure: 10 lbs (69 kPa) weighted gauge, 11 lbs (76 kpa) dial gauge (adjust pressure for your altitude when over 300 metres / 1000 feet.)
Processing time: Quarter and half-litres (pints and half-pints) 75 minutes; litres (quarts) 90 minutes.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: 5 x ½ litre (1 US pint) jars
Serving size: 1 cup (250 ml / 8 oz)
Calories: 215
Fat: 2.0
- 2 litres water (8 cups / 64 oz)
- 500 g split peas (about 1 pound / 2 cups)
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped (about 1½ cups / 250 g, after peeling and chopping)
- 1 medium-large onion, chopped finely (about 150 g / 5 oz / 1 cup chopped)
- 150 - 200 g chopped / diced cooked ham (about 1 cup)
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt to taste (see Recipe Notes)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Maggi sauce or Worcestershire sauce
- Put peas and water in large pot. Bring to the boil, reduce to a low simmer, and let simmer covered until peas are soft, about 1 hour.
- Purée through blender (optional).
- Add remainder of ingredients, simmer for 30 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning.
- Fish out bay leaf.
- Put into jars.
- Leave 3 cm (1 inch) headspace, regardless of jar size.
- Wipe rims, apply lids, set in pressure canner.
- Process pressure: 10 lbs (69 kPa) weighted gauge, 11 lbs (76 kpa) dial gauge (adjust pressure for your altitude when over 300 metres / 1000 feet.).
- Process time: 75 minutes for ¼ litre and ½ litre (1/2 US pint and 1 US pint), OR 90 minutes for 1 litre / US quart.
Processing times for pea soup
Processing guidelines below are for weighted-gauge pressure canners. For dial-gauge adjustments, follow guidelines here .

|0 to 300 m (0 - 1000 feet) pressure
|Above 300 m (1000 ft) pressure
|1/4 litre (1/2 US pint)
|75 mins
|10 lbs
|15 lb
|1/2 litre (1 US pint)
|75 mins
|10 lbs
|15 lb
|1 litre (1 US quart)
|90 mins

|15 lb
Reference information
How to pressure can, step by step.
When pressure canning, you must adjust the pressure for your altitude.
For a non-bitter, non-clouding salt substitute, Herbamare Sodium-Free was used.
Recipe notes
- You can use a food processor to chop up the carrot and onion finely.
- Yes, you must peel the carrots. You are reducing the bacterial load going into the canner.
- If you want to purée the peas, you will get better results in a blender than in a food processor.
- The lemon juice and Maggi / Worcestershire sauce are just there as acids to wake up the taste of the peas, they have no preservative effect in this recipe. You could also try a teaspoon or so of a mild vinegar such as white wine vinegar to wake up the taste.
- Salt to taste. It's here as a seasoning, not for safety. Try from 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of salt or of a non-bitter, non-clouding salt sub such as herbamare
- To help balance flavour, at the end you can try adding sugar a few tablespoons at a time, or, 1/2 teaspoon liquid stevia.
- Easily doubled and tripled.
- If you are doubling the recipe, you can get 7 x 1 litre (US quart) jars if you add more water or stock to thin it out (it's quite a thick soup otherwise, anyway, and can often thicken more during canning. It's safe to *lower* the density.)
- You can use yellow or green split peas.
- You may safely omit the ham. Omitting the ham does not reduce the processing time.
- The cooking time on this might seem long, but it really only needs about 30 to 60 minutes of your active time, including prep, bottling the soup and clean-up.
- Tip: if you have some nice vegetable stock in the freezer drained off from your home canned veggie, this is a great place to use it for depth of background flavour.

Habitant soup. In: Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving. Toronto, Canada: Bernardin Ltd. 2013. Page 94.
Modifications made:
- Added lemon juice and maggi / Worchestershire sauce for sourness to wake up taste of peas, plus optional sweetening;
- Increased allspice by 1/4 teaspoon;
As nourishing as a jar of this soup is, it still packs a whallop in calories, so we have suggested the smaller 1/4 litre (1/2 US pint / 8 oz) jars as an alternative size, simply because one tends to eat all of a jar once it is opened. That size of jar still requires the full processing time as for the 1/2 litre (1 US pint) jars.

The list of legends who have taken to the court in the Audi Dome and its predecessor the Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle is long. This Thursday (23rd October, 20:45 CEST), European basketball royalty will take to the court when Bayern face Panathinaikos Athens in their first Euroleague home match of the campaign: Dimitris Diamantidis.
34 year old Diamantidis is one of the most successful players in Greek Basketball history, as are his team (34 Championship wins and a total of 56 titles since 1946). His stunning form also continues in the Euroleague, where he has been named Defender of the Year six times, picked up the most steals (389), picked up more assists than any other player and is closing on 1,000 points – he currently has 988 at an average of 4.4 per game.
"He's a basketball genius – he is a perfect role model" said FC Bayern CEO Marko Pesic and added: "He is certainly one of the biggest names in the sport to have played in our arena."
The pair go a long way back. Pesic used to play alongside a young Diamantidis: During the 1999/2000 season, FCBB CEO Pesic played for Iraklis Saloniki where the teenage Diamantidis was starting to make a name for himself.
After five years at Iraklis, where he also made his international debut for Greece, the 1.96m Guard headed to Panathinaikos Athens in 2004, having won the MVP award the year before. Since moving to the capital, "The Diamond Man" has won the domestic double seven times and three Euroleague titles. The man from Kastoria has picked up 22 titles at the club as well as winning the 2005 EuroBasket table against Pesic and his German counterparts. The 2007 Greek sportsman of the year has been named the Greek MVP six times and is a true legend of the game.
Panthinaikos' captain is becoming a more potent threat with age – he is scoring more points each year. Last year he averaged 8.9 points per Euroleague match and 9.3 domestically, as a result of his powerful playing style and accuracy from range.
In September 2010, he retired from international duty having won 124 caps for Greece. This summer he recovered from injury for another crack at the big time, but it won't be long before the sun sets on the career of this basketball legend, so Thursday's game against Panathinaikos Athens provides a unique opportunity for basketball fans of all ages that shouldn't be missed.

Roy Dean is primarily known as a BJJ instructor. His instructional DVDs are notable for the quality of both instruction and production. He is a black belt under Roy Harris but also holds black belts in judo, Aikido, and Japanese Jujitsu.
Surprisingly, The martial apprentice is not about BJJ. Instead, it is Roy's story of dedicating himself to the martial arts. The book describes:
- Roy's inadvertent sojourn to Japan as an exchange student.
- A few lessons about the important of training judo
- Another sojourn, this time to North Bay Ontario (!) to finish high school, discover the UFC, and become obsessed with Aikido
- A return to Alaska to train Aikido, work an office job, do some baggage handling, and learn some garage-style BJJ
- 15 months as an uchideschi in California (followed by additional training) to study jujitsu and Aikido
- The discovery of BJJ
- The importance of belt testing -- particularly shodan -- as a means of discovering your peak performance capabilities
- Life experiences along the way
Only in the conclusion does Dean mention the next stage of his training. He promises us a follow-up volume that details his experiences with Roy Harris in San Diego.
Overall, the book is very entertaining and deals with some interesting issues such as the best martial art (basically, the one that you're willing to train), the importance of rigorous training, the types of people that train (according to Dean there are philosophers, fighters, and athletes), and the janus-nature of MMA.
If you've spent time training a martial art -- particularly Aikido -- the book is worth the read. It makes an interesting companion to books like Angry white pyjamas and American Shaolin, particularly because it was written by a martial artist who writes, rather than a writer who does martial arts. There is a difference.

From Miami Florida, USA:
What is considered too low for a blood sugar reading?
This is a difficult question to be addressed through an e-mail. We docs have had lots of opportunities to sit in on discussions of this problem and never reached a satisfactory answer. You can also read a lot about hypoglycemia on this website.
To be short, any blood sugar reading below 50 mg/dl is too low (in my opinion).

I've also had very mixed experiences with Tamiya decals. Sometimes they've silvered and refused to settle down properly on a surface that's polished like a mirror. Other times, they've been absolutely fine and looked pretty much painted-on... [ ]

Get the very best of Rajasthan on this memorable Northern India adventure.
If you asked our tour leaders where they would most like to go to in Rajasthan, this special tour would be it! The magic of Rajasthan can best be experienced by being a guest in some very special places and recipient to timeless Rajput hospitality. Overnight stays in ornate 'havelis' and historic palaces that are now heritage hotels enable us to sample the lifestyle of a maharaja, surrounded by opulence and grace. Visits to villages allow us to connect with the local people who in some cases still live a way of life that has changed little in centuries. The fabled cities of Agra - home to the magnificent Taj Mahal, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaipur will impress with their grandeur, whilst Karauli, Bundi, Bijapur and Dera Kharwa will entice with their romance and rich cultural legacies. We also seek out India's exotic wildlife, including the magnificent tiger, on an adventure to Ranthambhore National Park. This is indeed the Rajasthan of your dreams!
Save a space on your 2019 trip with only a €50 deposit until 31 August 2018.Terms & Conditions
Experience Rajput hospitality, and feel culture and history all around you during your feature stay in a 15th-century fortified palace
The opportunity to contrast the exciting chaos of the big cities with the different pace of life and local traditions of remote villages
Discover the rich history and architecture of the impressive Forts scattered across the province, and how the Taj Mahal, one of the most recognisable buildings in the world, still has the power to surprise even the most experienced travellers
The chance to get closer to India's exotic wildlife, and perhaps catch more than a glimpse of its elusive animal king, the magnificent tiger, in Ranthambhore National Park
Feel like true royalty during your feature stay at Bhanwar Vilas Palace
Rajasthan is a desert state and so it's important to prepare for hot sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening. Layers are the best way to tackle this disparity in weather.
Many Heritage hotels are preserved in their original state and so offer a unique accommodation experience, but for this reason the facilities they offer are not the same as standard hotels.
There are a number of long travel days on this trip. Some journeys take up to eight hours, but are a great opportunity to get to know locals, fellow travellers and the diverse scenery.
This is an adventurous Peregrine trip with more travelling days to ensure that we can cover more ground, visit more sites and stay in many and varied Heritage stays.
From April 2017, the main dome of the Taj Mahal will undergo mud pack therapy to restore its original colour. It is expected the dome will be covered in iron scaffolding during the process which is expected to last a year.
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Rajasthan Revealed trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
1. Peregrine requires a copy of your scanned passport bio page at time of booking to complete bookings for Ranthambhore National Park visit.
2. A single supplement is available for this trip and is applicable for all nights on tour.
3. Hot air balloon flights are operated by Sky Waltz in Jaipur. Flights operate mornings from September to June and morning and evening from September to March. Morning flights depart around sunrise and evening flights late afternoon and last 60 mins. Return transfers, tea and coffee plus light refreshments and a certificate of flight are included in the cost. You can register your interest and pay your tour leader at your joining meeting on day 1 of your trip. Payment must be made in cash - INR/USD/AUD/GBP only please
Flights are subject to weather conditions and tickets are fully refundable.
4. The main dome on the Taj Mahal will undergo mud pack therapy due to begin in late 2017. It is likely the entire dome will be obscured by iron scaffolding. Portions of the white marble façade will be covered in mud and plastic sheets during the cleaning process. The restorations will be carried out in sections and the work on the dome is expected to last one year.
5. An airport transfer is included. Please provide your flight details at time of booking.

Before I start talking about my "strong willed child" I first will tell you a little about myself. I am a strong willed momma. I am stubborn, persistent, somewhat inflexible and impatient. I was all of these things before I was a Mom, but being a Mom really shows you more about yourself. Sometimes even more than you want to know. I will say that since Little M came along most of these qualities have taken a backseat. They are still there, oh yes, definitely still there.
Little M has energy, energy for days. And days.....and days. He also has slept past 8 am twice in his 6 1/2 years of life. TWICE! This is a challenge for a Mommy who has a 10 month old who didn't go to sleep until 11 pm. He's smart, sometimes even too smart, and he is also very literal. So when you say don't hit that play hut with that plastic stick again or I will take it away...well he touches it gently. Then he will spend the next 45 arguing that he didn't "hit it" but just touched it.
He is stubborn. One morning he spent the entire 15 minutes drive to daycare arguing with me that police officers should carry swords instead of guns. I realized at minutes 13 that I was arguing a battle I wouldn't win. And that right there is when stubbornness takes the backseat, and I wave the white flag. Little M is persistent, and he will ask the same questions a dozen times.
Each one of these qualities challenge me daily. Sometimes to the point that Mommy just needs to sit and pray for patience and grace. Because it's the battle of the strong willed in this house.
Each of these qualities are qualities that will bring Little M a life of independence. I try my hardest to not break this spirit he has. I hope he continues to wake early with great energy and take of each day of his life with the enthusiasm he currently has. I hope he continues to learn, and never stop taking in information. I hope he uses his "stubbornness" to not allow people to walk all over him, and to always stand up for what he believes. I hope he never waves the white flag during a discussion on something that he is passionate about. And I hope if there is something he wants more than anything in the world he continues to be persistent until it is his.
He has a way of being fair, and I find that to be a beautiful quality in a young child. He bring joy to my life I didn't know was possible. He keeps me on my toes, and makes me a better Mom. He helped me keep my "strong willed" qualities in check. But rest assured that if there is something that I am passionate about I will give him a run for his money.

Breastfeeding- The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful
Breastfeeding- The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful
This isn't a blog where I am going to shove breastfeeding down your throat. I do strongly suggest if you can breastfeed to do so. It has such amazing benefits for the baby and for moms. I know that breastfeeding isn't always the easy option or even an option at all. Despite my attempts I was unable to breastfeed Little M when he was a baby. He endured some trauma to his scalp that made sucking painful and difficult.
Thankfully I was blessed this time around to establish a great breastfeeding relationship with our little lady.
The Good:
Our daughter has been a champ, she is healthy and beautifully plump. Breastfeeding versus bottle feeding is so much easier to travel with. Whether a longer road trip or just to church on Sunday. No bottle to pack, no formula needed. Even at home, no bottles to make or clean. I have been blessed with the world's most supportive husband. Every evening he would wash my pump parts, and in the morning he would pack my bag to take to work. As of the middle of January I resigned from my job and stay at home with the kids. This has made our breastfeeding relationship even stronger. Overall it has been such a natural process for me this time. Although natural doesn't mean easy....
The Bad:
I am not one of the women who instantly felt breastfeeding was amazing. You know you read stories about women who say they felt such a special connection because they were nursing, well that wasn't me. The nights waking up with soaked shirts annoyed me. Another annoyance- two words CLOGGED DUCTS. And sometimes I just didn't want to be the only one who could feed her. I wanted rest. That might sound selfish, but I spent 9 months pregnant and for just a little bit I wanted my body back and be all mine. I went back to work after 8 weeks and I nursed our little girl when I was home, and pumped when I was at work. Talk about a daunting task, sometimes I would get so busy at work I would miss my pumping time. There were days when I was done with work and I would cry because I didn't pump and didn't know if I would have enough milk for the next day for our daughter at daycare. Aaron would always be there to pick me up and remind me if needed she had formula there, or we had some frozen. There were also the days where our daughter was clearly have a growth spurt and I felt like she was nursing non-stop.
The Beautiful:
In just 6 days it will mark 9 months of breastfeeding for me and our little girl. I have set a goal to make it to at least 12 months, and we are so so so so close! I love our nightly snuggles and feeding her right before bed, we are nice and warm and when she gets full she has that sweet squishy look. Then there are the times when our little lady is eating and she looks up and me and I look down and her and she stops eating just to smile at me. Talk about pure bliss. It literally fills my heart with warmth. Our daughter is healthy, growing, and every once in a while I think about how amazing it is that my body is able to create exactly what she needs. The human body is an incredible thing. And lastly, my husband, my wonderful, wonderful husband. This journey in breastfeeding has been another way of showing me how lucky I am. When I would sit down to feed our daughter he would bring me everything I needed to make me comfortable, when I wanted to quit he was there to remind me why I started in the first place, and for every time I woke up to feed her he was there to change her diaper.
Breastfeeding can be a battle, I strongly encourage people to do the research, be prepared, have a good support system and it will pay off. No doubt there will be bumps in the road, but if you keep on pushing through it does get easier.

9 months on, 9 months off...
I wish this were one of those blog posts where I talked about how my baby weight just fell off.
It's not.
I am aware that it takes time, and I wish I were more patient.
I'm not.
Aaron & I welcomed a beautiful baby girl on August 12, 2013. She is a true blessing, and the weight was worth it.
Every. Single. Pound.
Before getting pregnant I was in the best shape of my life. I weighed less at the age of 22 than I had as a freshman in high school. I worked my tail off to get into the 130s. I suffer from an endocrine that makes it extremely difficult for women to lose weight. I felt amazing, and for the first time since the age of 14 my bloodwork work came back NORMAL.
I wish this were the point where I told you that I felt amazing during my pregnancy.
I didn't.
I also wish I could say I ate healthy and stayed active.
Nope, didn't happen.
I was sick, daily. I spent a lot of my time in bed during my pregnancy. My experience carrying our sweet little girl was the polar opposite to carrying little M (they remain polar opposites to this day, minus the sassy part). I threw my gluten free diet out the window, ate what I wanted and moved less.
I gained almost 50 pounds.
Yes, 5-0.
Full term pregnant I weighed close to my starting weight before, that's the part that made me nervous.
So there I was back at square one. Except now I have a second little human to take care of.
Our little lady is 8 months, almost 9 months old. I often hear people say, "It took 9 months to put it on, it will take 9 months to take it off". WHAT A JOKE. Little M was born in 2007, I lost my "baby weight" (and then some).....do you know how long it took? 4 1/2 YEARS.
I have lost some of my baby weight. Eating better, and getting back to being active is an ongoing process. I still have 15 pounds to go. I will get there, but it won't be 9 months.

Anniversary Poem for my Wife (non-haiku)
Another year has gone by,
By far the best of my life.
I married the woman of my dreams,
I treasure her more than anything.
We have a baby on the way,
I cannot wait for that amazing day.
Each year is better than the last,
Each year goes faster than fast.
Each year my love for you grows,
Without you, where would I be? Nobody knows.
I thank God for giving me you,
I thank God for Myles too!
Thank you for loving me,
When I think of you, I cannot breathe.
Sweetie, it is one year that we have been wed,
I cannot wait for what lies ahead.
All my love,
Aaron Getchius

Haiku Poetry
I love my wife a lot. Our anniversary is coming up on Sunday, July 28th, and I have no idea what to get her, so I wrote some haiku's for her.
I love you so much,
We have been wedded one year,
How much love is there?
It is endless for you dear,
Married for a year,
Many more to come for years
We got a dog a while ago, and her name is Lucy. Emily has given her the middle name of "Orange Juice", so I also wrote a haiku for her.
How cute is our pup?
She is the best dog ever,
Orange Juice Getchius.

Woman Hits Loose Trailer on I-40
In August of 1997, Joni Walley was traveling down Interstate 40 in Nashville when she came across a trailer that had come free of the truck that was hauling it. The trailer was stopped in her lane, and Ms. Walley hit it head-on. Moments later, another vehicle struck her car from behind. Ms. Walley's car was a total loss.
She was admitted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in critical condition and underwent several surgeries. She suffered from a serious liver laceration and major bleeding. Her initial prognosis was "extremely grave."
Fortunately, Ms. Walley survived. She had numerous follow-up visits to various doctors and was evaluated for post-traumatic stress syndrome. Her medical expenses exceeded $133,000.
On Ms. Walley's behalf, our office brought suit against the trucking company responsible for the unnattached trailer. A settlement was reached for the amount of $500,000.

New Pattern: #CeliaStrong Poncho
Yep I named it with a hashtag right in the title.
Hello knitters, friends and relatives,
Against all realistic odds I have released a new pattern for your enjoyment! The #CeliaStrong Poncho is a cushy asymmetrical multi-color cancer-fighting brioche poncho knit in the round with minimal seaming and built-in extremely fashionable fringe. Everything you could have possibly wanted in a knit. Make it now before the wheel of style turns and dictates we can only use it as a cozy blanket.
Celia is a 16-year-old friend fighting cancer. I wanted to make her a poncho because ponchos are in right now and we are stylish people. It came out pretty amazing. So, here's the pattern. Thanks for the inspiration, Celia! 50% of the proceeds from the sales of this pattern will go to the cancer research organization of my choice. The other 50% will probably buy yarn.
This lofty, cozy brioche poncho is knit in the round using one color at a time. No carrying colors is needed. After knitting the whole thing as a tube, finish by creating the head opening with a three-needle bind off. A 10-stitch stockinette panel is dropped, cut and tied off to create fringe along one edge. Built-in fringe! No tying on hundreds of short strands!
For extra fun, I'd love it if you'd tag your project photos with #CeliaStrong #ponchostrong and of course, #teambrioche!
In order to do this project you need the following skills, or a willingness to learn:
Brioche knitting, casting on, three-needle binding off, knitting in the round, being completely awesome.
Use this link for the  next week to get $2 off the $8 pattern price in honor of Megan's Birthday. You can also use the coupon code MBBD.
Use this link to check out the pattern on www.Ravelry.com.
Dedicated to Celia Balderston:
Your fight and my love for your mama inspired me to create your poncho. It gave me great joy to do it. I hope it cuddles you up and helps you stay cozy and strong. Sending so much love,
Pamela Grossman

New Dollar Coins
New Dollar Coins are fun to collect. Dollar coins of United States are minted in the United States Mint , Coins minted in United States are made out of metals like Gold ,Silver and Base metal.In 1794 Silver Dollars were the first $ coins issued by the American mint.
In 2005 ,United Sates Congress decided to honor their late Presidents, by producing a lineage of $1 coins only dedicated to them.
The new dollar program commenced on 1st January 2007,this program is quiet similar to the State Quarter program, this program will not conclude till every eligible President is honored. In the program coins engraved with the faces of 4 Presidents will be produced every year ,issuing one first and the next 3 month later. No coins would bear the faces of living Presidents ,only those Presidents who are dead more than 2 years ago.
The Presidential Dollar is much smaller in size to the Sacagawea Dollar ,and lighter in color too .The wording 'In God we trust' are printed on the edge of the coin along with the date of issue and the mint mark ,quiet contrary to the Sacagawea dollar where the wording 'In God we trust' the date and mint mark were printed on the face side of the coin.
Sacagawae and the New Dollar coin are usually known as the Golden coin even though the coins contain not a trace of the gold metal ,they are just golden in color.
On February 15th, 2007 the first ever new dollar coin was released in the honor of George Washington.
March 8th 2007 ,the United States Mint announced that by error a large number of George Washington coins were circulated without the legendary words In God We Trust engraved, professional coin grading companies released approx 50000 such coins were released by the mint. These coins gained the name of being "Godless Dollars", the first few coins fetched its collector as high as $600 which later fell to $ 40 to$ 60 .These specimens as off now hold nothing more than the face value.
In March an America couple found a George Washington Dollar without stamping on both the sides ,these rare error coins fetched a very high market value.
The new dollar program would in all take 11 years to honor each and every President ,as George W. Bush being the 43rd President .As per the act for a president face to appear on the coin he or she must be dead for at least 2 years, and the program would end only when all the then most eligible Presidents are honored. If a particular Presidents is not eligible for his face to be engraved on the coin ,then he will be eliminated and the next in line would be considered for the honoring.
The New Dollar Coin program is said to run at least till 2016, but may continue even longer depending on the age of the current living Presidents.
New Dollar Coins are available online and off.

2000 Fiat Barchetta Limited Edition Riviera 1.8 16v from UK and Ireland
Fast, fun, user friendly and just that bit more exclusive!
I have encountered no problems with my car.
General Comments:
This car is quick and very responsive.
The cabin in my model is full leather and beautifully made.
The soft top can be put down fast and easily.
To compare it to the MX5 or the MGF would be easy, the Barchetta would win no problem.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Obsession with bathrooms (Hanoi)
I am currently researching the cost of living and accommodation in Vietnam.
Scrolling through the real estate adds I've noticed an inordinate amount of bathrooms per dwelling. Sometimes they even out number the number bedrooms.
Can someone enlighten me as to what the obsession with bathrooms is all about? Or am I simply reading the adds wrong?

The MMR test, also known as an MMR antibodies test or an MMR titer, is used to determine whether or not a person has immunity to the infectious diseases measles, mumps, and rubella. The test detects the presence of antibodies which provide protection against infections. A positive test result indicates immunity unless you are currently experiencing symptoms. This may indicate a current infection. In this country, many children receive a vaccination for MMR shortly after they are born. While these vaccinations may provide life-long immunity, that is not always the case. If someone is uncertain whether they have been vaccinated or believes they may be at risk for infection, it is recommended that they receive an MMR test to determine the status of their immunity.
At Request a Test, we have access to labs all over the country. We use the same testing facilities that are employed by many hospitals and physicians for their testing needs. All of our labs operate on a walk-in basis so there is no need to schedule appointments. Ordering your MMR test with us eliminates the need to go through your doctor or insurance. Our MMR test is always reasonably priced with no hidden fees.
Our MMR test is conducted with a blood sample and typically sees results in 1-3 business days. The MMR test is also available in our Immunity panel which includes the hepatitis A total, hepatitis B surface antibody, and varicella antibodies tests. For pricing and more information about these and other tests in our immunity category, please go to http://requestatest.com/immunity-testing.
Typical symptoms of a measles infection include fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis (pinkeye), and a red rash that starts on the face and spreads to other parts of the body. A mumps infection usually causes swelling in the salivary glands which causes the cheeks to appear swollen. Symptoms of rubella include a rash on the face, swelling in the glands behind the ears, swelling in the joints, and a low-grade fever. The presence of any of these symptoms is a good reason to receive an MMR test. A positive result from an MMR test while displaying symptoms can indicate a current infection.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that anyone born after 1957 should be vaccinated for MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). Most children are required to have been vaccinated before entering school. An MMR test can determine if vaccination is necessary. Anyone experiencing symptoms which indicate a measles, mumps, or rubella infection should receive an MMR test.
Measles, mumps, and rubella are highly contagious and can be spread through the air by coughing, sneezing, or simply breathing. All three diseases can lead to serious health complications. Measles can cause pneumonia and in children, may cause seizures or brain damage. Mumps can cause meningitis, deafness, and in men, infertility. Rubella can increase the risk of birth defects including blindness, deafness, and mental retardation if a pregnant mother is infected. Determining immunity through an MMR test is important for preventative health care.
While being aware of your vaccination and immunity history is always advisable, it can be especially useful during occasions when the risk of infection is greater. The CDC recommends MMR vaccination for anyone who works in a healthcare facility, travels internationally, is a student entering college or trade school, lives in an area where an outbreak is known to have occurred, or was previously given an outdated vaccine. Young children who are entering school should receive an MMR test to determine if they need vaccination. Women who are planning to get pregnant should verify their immunity as receiving an MMR vaccination while pregnant can cause health complications for the fetus. An MMR test is advisable any time you experience symptoms which may indicate an infection.
Request A Test contracts with 2 of the largest labs in the United States to provide you with 1000s of lab collection centers nationwide. When you order your MMR test with us, we will find the lab location that is most convenient for you. Once your order is complete, you can go to the lab anytime during their business hours.

For pricing and more information about these and other tests in our immunity category, please go to http://requestatest.com/immunity-testing.

Upon arrival at the lab, you will be subjected to a simple blood collection.

The cougar is also known as a panther, puma or mountain lion, and it is North America's second largest cat. A panther cannot roar. Instead, this large cat purrs like a domestic house cat, according to Animal Fact Guide.Continue Reading
The body of a cougar is similar to the body of a house cat. Cougars are slender, and they have round heads and pointed ears. Male cougars can weigh as much as 150 pounds, and females can weigh up to 100 pounds. A cougar's coat is a grayish-tan to reddish color, and its tail is marked with a black spot at the tip. Cougars are also know to climb trees effortlessly and jump over 20 feet. Cougars can live near seas, in deserts or in mountainous areas. They generally prey on deer, but they also eat smaller animals, including livestock and domestic animals.
Usually, cougars stay secluded from their prey until they are ready to attack. When attacking its prey, a cougar stretches its claws out and pounces on its victim. Once the cougar kills its prey, it hides its remains and consumes it over the course of a few days. Wolves and bears compete with cougars for prey, but cougars are apex predators and have no natural hunters.Learn more about Large Cats
