|Draft Limited Liability Partnerships Regulations 2001 Draft Limited Liability (fees) Regulations 2001
Dr. Howells: Fair enough. One politician admitting that he has total confidence in another is very rare in politics, Mr. Cunningham, and usually precedes someone being sacked.
It was a long time ago, but I think that the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton asked a question about legislation by reference. Quite properly, he said that such legislation was hard to understand and would result in increased legal costs, as firms would need to take legal advice to interpret it. I have sympathy with the arguments against legislation by reference, but the alternative would have been to produce a set of regulations that ran to hundreds of pages, much of it reproducing existing law. Legislation by reference also has the advantage of highlighting where the changes to company and insolvency law have been made specifically to deal with LLPs. The approach that we have adopted allows users easily to identify where changes have been made in the legislation as it applies to LLPs and keeps the length of the regulations in balance. In any event, we expect that, if there is demand, commercial publishers will produce a consolidation of the provisions that relate to LLPs.
I think that the hon. Gentleman also asked why so much information was being put into regulations. He said that it would have been better to put it into the Act. Again, it is a fair question. An LLP is a body corporate, and we have always intended to ensure where possible that there is an equivalent level of regulation to that applied to companies. We believe that the regulations achieve that by modifying as appropriate the relevant legislation, including insolvency legislation affecting companies.
I recall that there were protests during the passage of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 that too much reliance was being placed on secondary legislation. I disagreed strongly and still do. I hope that the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton agrees that we have a sensible structure. The essential characteristics, principles and rules for an LLP are set out in the 2000 Act and the detail. The application of company and insolvency legislation is left largely to regulation. The 2000 Act also makes sensible provision to require that the affirmative resolution procedure is used for many changes that are made to the Companies Act 1985 and the Insolvency Act 1986. It would have been confusing for users if we had replicated in the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000, albeit with some modifications, large swathes of current legislation, some of which can itself be changed by secondary legislation.
It is important to adopt the requirements for LLPs as company, insolvency and partnership law change. A fundamental review of company law is in progress, and it seems wise to recognise that the provisions of company law that we are applying to LLPs under the regulations are themselves following the company law review.
In addition, the Law Commission recently produced a report on proposed changes to partnership law. It would be necessary to apply the results of that work. Let us take the example of the new Insolvency Act 2000, which modifies the Insolvency Act 1986 and will be applied to LLPs as appropriate by statutory instrument once the secondary legislation necessary to bring its provisions into force has been made.
The hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton asked about legislation by reference, and I have tried to deal with some of his points. I understand that Butterworth's Tolley is in the process of producing an LLP handbook that will incorporate a marker of the relevant legislation. I do not know whether that constitutes an advert for that company, Mr. Cunningham, but if it does, I will gladly take it back. I was going to start talking about brown envelopes then, but I will not.
The hon. Gentleman also asked about the retirement of members. That is covered in section 4(3) of the Act. I hope that that reference satisfies him. He asked what happens if an LLP that gets into difficulties has either no agreement or an inadequate agreement. That question was also raised by the hon. Member for Torridge and West Devon.
A consultation document was published in February last year setting out suggested regulatory provisions that were modelled on section 24 of the Partnership Act 1890. Like that section, the provisions would apply only in so far as there was no agreement on those matters. The provisions deal with such matters as the rights of members to share equally in the capital and profits of the LLP, the right of every member to take part in the management of the LLP, the rights of members when changes in the nature of the LLP's business are being made and the introduction and expulsion of members. The provisions have been placed in these regulations to allow the flexibility to modify them as necessary, depending on practical experience of the operation of LLPs. Should circumstances arise in which there is neither an agreement nor any regulatory default provisions covering the matter arising, the courts would be expected to make a decision having regard to the nature of that entity.
I turn now to the question that the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton raised about offences. That issue was debated at length during the passage of the Limited Liability Partnership Bill through the House. We made it clear then that we intended to apply to members of an LLP existing criminal offences, which are punishable by imprisonment when applied to company directors. It is right to try to ensure a level playing field between companies and LLPs in those circumstances so that one is not treated more leniently than another. The Act gives the power to create new criminal offences in the regulations, which would be punishable by imprisonment or trial on indictment. However, we do not at this stage intend to create any new offence that would be applied to members of LLPs that does not already exist in the current legislation for company officers.
I hope that that gives the hon. Gentleman some comfort. I am sure that the Committee will understand that we think it important to preserve the flexibility for creating offences in the future and for deciding how they should be punished. This is a new entity and there may be abuses that we have not envisaged.
Mr. Gibb: The Minister has created a new criminal offence on page 23 of the regulations. Can he explain that point?
Dr. Howells: Is the hon. Gentleman referring to subsection (5)?
Mr. Gibb: Yes.
Dr. Howells: Subsection (5) says:
I can give the hon. Gentleman the comfort that any new regulations made under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 that created a new offence, would be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure. He asked where regulation 7(8) came from. It came as a result of the consultation process. He asked whether the Trade and Industry Committee said in its report that it wanted to examine revised drafts of the legislation. It did indeed. Were we to continue with our proposed approach in the regulations, we would need to make revised drafts publicly available in sufficient time and for outside bodies and the Committee to examine them. Such a revised draft was published in July 1999. The Department wrote to the Clerk to the Committee at that time, providing a copy of the revised regulations and inviting the Committee to discuss any aspect of them. The Committee has not returned its decision. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will accept that as an answer; I shall not go to the Committee if it does not come back to me.
The regulations have, however, been subject to several consultations. There were two main consultations in 1998 and 1999 and, in addition, a further consultation was undertaken in February 2000 that dealt specifically with the relationship with the members of LLPs. That consultation proved invaluable in providing the important default provisions listed under part VI.
The hon. Gentleman asked whether LLPs would be allowed to use merger and acquisitions accounting. We have applied in the regulations those parts of the Companies Act 1985 that allow for merger and acquisition accounting to be used in consolidated accounts. There has been some modification to the appropriate sections so as to allow for the different structure of LLPs and companies. The modifications simply remove sub-paragraphs (1)(a) to (c) of schedule 4A(10) of the Companies Act 1985; those sub-paragraphs referred to shares, which LLPs will not have. That leaves sub-paragraph (d), which requires that the adoption of the merger method of accounting accords with generally accepted accounting principles, which require that the conditions for accounting and acquisition as a merger are based on the relevant accounting standard, with supplementary guidance provided by the proposed statement of recommended practiceSORP. We are confident that those measures achieve the desired result of allowing LLPs to use acquisition or, in appropriate situations, merger accounting in the consolidated accounts.
The hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton asked why there had been a delay in producing the statement of recommended practice. We are pressuring the steering group responsible for preparing the SORP and the Accounting Standards Board to finalise the draft SORP so that interested parties can use it for comment. At present, those bodies are discussing several outstanding issues. We emphasise the importance for those considering forming an LLP of having guidance on detailed accounting requirements.
The hon. Gentleman also asked why section 257 of the Companies Act 1985 did not apply to LLPs. That section provides a power to make further regulations; it is not required because the LLP legislation contains such a power for LLPs. He asked, too, what the significance was of the wording used in the clawback provisions, such as ``knew'' or ``ought to have concluded''. The LLP member will be judged against the criteria of what would be reasonable with regard to the standards of the average director. If his knowledge was ``higher than average'', the court would be likely to apply a higher test. That approach is consistent with that for companies and rightly allows the court to judge each case on its merits.
The hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton also asked about profit and loss formattax disclosure. I confirm that that will not include members' tax liability.
I have answered all the questions asked by hon. Members. As we have time, I am willing to listen to more questions from the hon. Member for Torridge and West Devon.

French News Real Estate
One of the biggest economic variables in any nation is the cost of real estate for the average person. France has been hit with a lot of economic issues recently. With a new election, the French people are hoping that economic growth will be high again. For the average person living in France, a home is too expensive to buy right now. Wages have been stagnant for years, and demand for homes is increasing every year. A lot of investors are coming in and buying affordable homes before people have a chance to look at them. This is making the average home more expensive every year.
One of the biggest issues right now in France is that wages are stuck. For many years, wages increased at a rapid rate as the overall population became more productive. However, this is a trend that has reversed. Compared with the cost of living, the average person in France is now making less money than five years ago. If the economy is going to grow again, housing has to become more affordable.
Investing in Real Estate
There are many people in France who are starting to invest in real estate. Although this is a great way to make money over time, this is also increasing competition for starter homes in the country. Many young people are struggling with paying back school loans after graduation. They simply cannot afford to go out and buy new homes right now. The new leader of France has said that this is one of his biggest priorities. It will be interesting to see if real estate investing continues to expand at such a rapid rate in this country in the years ahead.
Future Plans for the Economy
France has a lot of plans for the economy to change for the better in the coming years. Not only is the country trying to reduce the cost of college, but they are encouraging more affordable housing for young people. The real estate market is so competitive in the country that many homes are selling within hours of going on the market. Young people are so frustrated by the process that they are dropping out of the housing market completely.
In the years ahead, these are all issues that will need to be addressed. Most people in France realize that the current trajectory is simply not sustainable with the rate of economic growth in the country.

|Police Reform Bill [Lords]
Mr. Stinchcombe: Do I understand new clause 4 to give police authorities the additional power to ask the Secretary of State to intervene and give directions?
Mr. Denham: There is the aim to enable the Secretary of State to set in motion the process that could lead to the last resort of making directions when in receipt of information from different sources. It might be possible for the Secretary of State to respond to information that was received from a police authority. However, it would have to pass the same tests of credibility and quality as information from another source and would have to be made available. It is a little difficult to imagine circumstances in which a police authority was so seized of a problem that it had failed to make any impact on it or to use other powers. However, I can envisage the legal possibility that my hon. Friend proposed, and it is worthy of reflection.
I hope that I have addressed the main issues. I hope that I addressed the points of the hon. Member for South-East Cambridgeshire, although he made a remark that I have not heard from an Opposition Front-Bench spokesman—perhaps my reading of debates in another place was inadequate—saying that he objected not to the idea that a remedial plan be produced, but to the idea that the Secretary of State has the power to write it—I hope that I wrote his words correctly. That is, at least, a step forward to recognising that there might be a basis in legislation for the Secretary of State to require that an action plan is produced in response to an identifiable problem. Perhaps I am over-optimistic about the possibility of closing the gap, even at this stage of the Bill.
Mr. Osborne: I sense that the Minister is beginning his winding-up speech, but could he deal with the point that I made on behalf of my chief constable? When a chief constable acts under direction from the Home Secretary, where would the legal responsibility lie and the legal buck stop?
Mr. Denham: I apologise to the hon. Gentleman because he raised that issue quite specifically. The chief constable—[Interruption.]
The Chairman: Order. I understand that there has to be some discussion, but perhaps it should take place outside the Room.
Mr. Denham: The chief constable is legally responsible for the direction and control of the force under section 10 of the Police Act 1996. That will remain the case while he is implementing an action plan, even if the terms had been set under new clause 4 by the Secretary of State. I hope that I have dealt with all the points made by Opposition Members.
Column Number: 102
Question put, That the amendment be made:—
The Committee divided: Ayes 14, Noes 9.
Division No. 4]

This Is Somewhere
This month we feature Grace Potter and the Nocturnals fan site, This Is Somewhere. Here are some some word from the site's founder…
I first heard Grace Potter and the Nocturnals back in the middle of 2006 when a video of their performance of Nothing But The Water at the Boston Music Awards was posted on YouTube. The music, the performance everything about the band spoke to me. Perhaps it was my Midwestern music upbringing on the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Led Zeppelin. Perhaps it was the current New Englander in me that responded to a band of locals playing wide open, accessible rock and roll. Either way something clicked.
At the time I was running a website for a very popular recording artist. I ran online promotion/marketing for a CD release and a tour and managed a front and back end effort that served up to 20,000 unique visitors a day. I learned a huge amount about how to run a blog, produce and seek out content and help artists connect with their fanbase. Unfortunately, that site was mostly about business. This Is Somewhere, on the other hand, is about passion much like Grace Potter and the Nocturnals music.
I fully support the do it yourself mentality that the band embraces and I want to be part of helping them achieve their vision of success on their own terms. Ive seen first hand what can happen to artistic integrity with the dollar driven strategies that the major labels employ and I want to help show fans and artists that there is another way. Im also a firm believer in the notion that the best marketing efforts for a band are person to person. A site like This Is Somewhere simply helps one person stand on a bigger soapbox.
I hope that This Is Somewhere can be appealing both from a visual design perspective as well as with well chosen photography, audio and video clips. In the end, its all about helping Grace Potter and the Nocturnals connect with the fans and share their music with the world.

Welcome! I'm glad you came by. I've recently decided to continue this blog, for fun, but on wordpress. So please mosey on over to http://joshwillits.wordpress.com, and check it out!
I can't say this enough: language matters. Count the number of times you use negative sentences in a day. "We don't have this. She's not doing it the way we want. I can't do that because they're not letting me."
I worked long and hard at turning all my language around to the positive. I'd say, "It would be great to find a way to get this. I'm hoping we can help her execute more the way we're thinking. I'm working on removing some roadblocks."
If you talk yourself out of things, it will always work.
From a great blog post by Chris Brogan, here.
Great angle from Seth Godin:
First rule of decision making: More time does not create better decisions.
In fact, it usually decreases the quality of the decision.
More information may help. More time without more information just creates anxiety, not insight.
Deciding now frees up your most valuable asset, time, so you can go work on something else. What happens if, starting today, you make every decision as soon as you have a reasonable amount of data?
What would you say some of the biggest communication challenges your organization faces? How would solving or improving any of these better your business (or organization)? What does your customer (even if that's a b2b customer or an internal customer) need the most from you, and what does your organization need from your customer? How can you improve your customer's life (in any way)? What would simplify any of your customer's challenges?
And from these bigger questions, can you find a smaller action? Can you find the miniaturized first step that would bring you in any of those directions?

"...most times, people are a bit more comfortable taking risks they know others have taken and accomplished. It's those "jumping when no one has ever done it" risks that raise the bar. The thing is, that's where the biggest reward comes from."
From Chris Brogan.
Early-stage and small companies often approach the subject of costs much too simplistically. Costs are bad, they say, and we need to reduce them whenever possible. As companies grow, however, they need to develop a more sophisticated approach to thinking about costs. They should begin to evolve their thinking from focusing on cost control to focusing on cost optimization.
They need to focus constantly on optimizing their value-added costs while minimizing nonvalue-added costs wherever and whenever possible.

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Cranberry- Turkey Enchiladas
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you're looking for something fun to do with your leftover turkey. Everyone makes soup (that's a must), and I'll show you my favorite in tomorrow's post, but for now I've gotta share a recipe that is perfect for utilizing a couple of your Turkey Day leftovers. I know what you're thinking. Cranberry and turkey go together pretty darn well, but in enchiladas?? Yes, trust me… they work in enchiladas too. Use some of your leftover turkey and canned cranberry sauce to make some of these Cranberry-Turkey Enchiladas.
Here's the How To:
Mix turkey with whole berry cranberry sauce, black beans, salsa, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, cumin, salt & pepper. Scoop some into the middle of a flour tortilla, wrap it and place it seam-side-down in a pyrex pan.
For the sauce, mix cranberry sauce with more salsa and a teaspoon of hot sauce. Spread it over the top of the stuffed enchiladas.
Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake until cooked through and cheese bubbling.
Plate it, top with sour cream, cilantro and a sprinkle of green onions.
It's kid-friendly too (mine loved it)!
So if you need a break from the gravy, mashed potatoes and sweet potato souffle, try using your leftover turkey for enchiladas instead.
This recipe can be found HERE.

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Next Day Turkey Soup
I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens several years ago, and I've been making them ever since – soo yummy!
I made this for my husband and his brother the other night. They are still raving about it today…and craving more. This recipe is genious- thank you so much!
These sound delicious! Now I'm wishing I hadn't sent most of the leftovers home with family… I might have to make some turkey just to give this recipe a try. I love all things cranberry!
Now these look amazing! Great unusual idea for the leftovers.
Great twist on enchilada.
My family (including the husband) doesn't really like cranberry sauce. But I think this looks and sounds great!
I'm making these tonight!! YUM. 🙂
I've got so much turkey left after yesterday! I love how you used different parts of the Thanksgiving meal to come up with something completely different!
Great idea! Now I know what to do with my turkey leftovers!
Super recipe! Glad I have enough left over to try it!
If its kid friendly..I am allll over it!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Fabulous Mexican twist on Thanksgiving fare!
A timely recipe Lori, sounds divinely rich these enchiladas!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Oh my gosh, these enchiladas look sooo good! I never would have thought to use cranberries!
Love the enchiladas. I like when there is an unexpected twist. Happy Thanksgiving to you Lori! Have a great weekend!
Any recipe that includes cranberries catches my eye, and this one is no exception! These enchiladas are such a creative use of Thanksgiving leftovers – it completely transforms the turkey and cranberry sauce!
Happy turkey day 🙂
I will have to cook a turkey to have leftovers, but it will be so worth it….Happy Thanksgiving Lori!!!

Renewing my 30 Day Challenge….
Over the summer I completed a 30-day yoga self challenge (I say self because it really was just me doing it and there was no formal monitoring hehe). However, school started and things got busy, I found myself suddenly enrolled for the thesis I struggled against for the longest time, and well, suffice it to say things got complicated. So much so that I barely get to practice sob sob sob.
However, now that I have a wee bit of time to get up for a breath of air, I am determined to renew that 30 day challenge. I doubt, however, that I can do 30 sessions in 30 days or less again so I will modify it a bit. In the next 30 days, I am determined to get to the studio at least 15 times, take the stairs to the car every time I am in school (that, after all should help burn some calories, right?) and in terms of food intake, no rice and soft drinks plus at least 3 liters of water a day. Bow.
Then again…can you just give me a 30 day supply of the best fat burners that work??? Haha.

County board Chairman Jamie Curtis said today that money to pay for the program is drying up. Sheriff Robert Pickell said he's been told to bring back some county inmates who are housed elsewhere if overcrowding of the county jail eases with the reopening of the Flint city jail.
The relevation comes on the same day a spokesman for Gov. Rick Snyder endorsed a plan to use state funds to reopen the city jail and allow Pickell to operate it.
The county Board of Commissioners today authorized Curtis to sign a contract for the sheriff to run the city lockup once attorneys complete final language in an agreement between the city and county.
But Curtis said more help is needed throughout the criminal justice system to lower Flint's violent crime rate, which is the highest in the nation.
"I'm good with what we approved today," Curtis said, but "it won't work (alone)."
Both Pickell and Curtis said state officials are pushing for expanded use of a tether program as they back off sending county jail inmates elsewhere.
The inmate transfers started in June 2011, designed to immediately ease the stress of jail over-crowding here. More than 700 prisoners have been transported and incarcerated at Midland and other county jails since that time.
Although Curtis said he believes the state won't allow further transfers, Pickell said he believes some limited use of the program is still possible.
Pickell said Snyder's representatives have told him they "want to eliminate that program," which he described as "very expensive."
"They are saying, 'We want to get out of that business,' " the sheriff said.
The transfers haven't solved over-crowding in the county jail, which had 704 inmates booked as of today, 124 more than its rated capacity.
The county can't exceed the jail's capacity for more than five consecutive days without triggering an automatic release of prisoners, most of whom are unsentenced or are awaiting trial on the charges against them.
Sara Wurfel, a spokeswoman for Snyder, said today that she was checking on the status of funding for the jail transfer program, but did not know immediately the extent to which it is or will be used.
In a news release, the state said it is working with Pickell and local prosecutors to implement an expanded tether program that "allows nonviolent offenders to wear an electronic monitoring device on their ankle prior to their trial date."
"This will help save jail space for the most violent offenders, allow ongoing employment opportunities for nonviolent offenders and reduce overall costs," the news release said. "Since mid-June, the Department of Corrections has initiated 135 tether activations of nonviolent offenders in Genesee County, alleviating the need for those jail beds."

Coaching an NFL team is a mix of doing some things you want to do, some things you have to do, some things that will pay dividends later and some things that are simply the right thing.
Greg Schiano did all of those on the first play of his NFL coaching career last Sunday in Tampa. Ronde Barber had started 199 straight games at cornerback for the Bucs. Schiano moved him to free safety in the offseason, to both extend Barber's career and as a nod that, at 37, he's not the athlete he once was at one of the most important positions for athleticism in all of sports. Barber was fine with it, but Schiano also knew the symmetry and historical significance of starting 200 straight games at cornerback -- Barber has shattered the previous record of 171, by Dick LeBeau.
So at the Bucs' pregame meal, Schiano found Barber, asked him about it, and Barber said, "Well, it's a nice round number, but it is what it is.'' In other words, I'd really like to be the only defensive back in history to start 200 games in a row at the same position, but do what you have to do, and if it doesn't work out, I won't be an idiot about it.
Schiano told Barber they'd come out in a nickel defense, with Barber playing the slot. As it turned out, Carolina opened with three wides, so it was a perfect alignment anyway. Then Barber went back to free safety, next to rookie Mark Barron, and the Bucs put in a third linebacker on second down, and off they went to an opening-day upset for Carolina.
Players noticed. Barber, the leader of this group of kids, was surprised -- in a good way.
"He has the mentality of a hard-nosed, disciplinarian kind of guy,'' Barber said Thursday from Tampa. "For him to even consider something like that, I was touched by it.''
The Bucs play the 0-1 Giants at the Meadowlands this week, and Tampa's an intriguing team. Schiano came in with his my-way-or-the-highway approach, and you'd figure he'd probably want to start fresh with a whole group of kids he could train to do things his way. Barber's never been a clubhouse lawyer, but it would have made sense if Schiano wanted to go with a new crew. Then he watched some Barber tape from last season, and heard from GM Mark Dominik what a valuable guy inside and outside the building Barber still was. And Schiano told Barber he wanted him to stay -- and to start at free safety.
"I've been extremely loyal to this organization,'' Barber said. "Loyal to the coaches I've played for, loyal to the owners, loyal to the front office. I would imagine it's pretty rare one player stays through four different regimes (Tony Dungy, Jon Gruden, Raheem Morris, Schiano), but I think they see I can still play. This is obviously not normal. I was prepared for it to end after last season, but as good as I feel now, and as much fun as it is, I don't even know if this [season] is it.''
How odd it is that Ronde and twin brother Tiki starred for the Bucs and Giants, respectively, through 2006, and then Tiki retired to pursue a career in TV, and Ronde kept playing. They were always so alike, but Ronde kept loving football and Tiki lost his love for it. Amazing, really, that this is the sixth season Ronde's playing and Tiki isn't.
"It is a little strange,'' Ronde said. "Last year he flirted with the idea of coming back, but I think it was more out of boredom than anything else.''
The lesser-known Barber's back on Broadway for one more game Sunday, and I can assure you he won't be bored.
Had fun interviewing Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano, NFL Network and NBC Sports football analyst Mike Mayock and Dan Pompei of the
This week, Monroe gets the rising Houston defense. The 3-4 Texans D will throw defensive end Antonio Smith and, more often, outside 'backer Connor Barwin at Monroe. Barwin and Smith were 1-2 on the Texans in sacks last year, combining for 18.

I am expanding my resale business to a larger warehouse. I own/operate a company called Dealpoclypse LLC, I buy inventory from various sourced (retail return auctions, wholesalers, private label products, business liquidations) and resell it on eBay and Amazon for a profit. The business has expanded to the point that I need more space to get to the next level. I've found 1500 sq feet of warehouse space, and I'll be signing a lease shortly. This loan would help me acquire more inventory and cover some of the expenses I'll incur during the expansion.
Hey , get the conversation started!

As New York State Redefines Marriage, Dangerous Mathematicians Redefines Wedding Wear
As New York Lesbians Up the Fashion Ante, A New Line of Clothing is Born
On July 21, 2012, Dangerous Mathematicians will unveil a collection of high-end, tailored wedding attire geared towards the lesbian community.
"We go way beyond the tux and gown paradigm. New York is ready to see non-traditional, LGBT-inspired wedding wear enter the mainstream.", says Karen Patwa, owner and head designer at Dangerous Mathematicians. "The LGBT community is giving society as a whole an opportunity to redefine, personalize, and modernize traditional looks. Same-sex wedding styles are already starting to influence traditional wedding fashion."
Dangerous Mathematicians is currently enjoying a surge of interest in their same-sex wedding designs. Their sleek, feminized, tailored designs recently made the cover of the Spring 2012 issue of Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine. Ms. Patwa is a trailblazer of the growing resurgence of the wedding suit, pens an advice column on this site, and has been designing lesbian wedding outfits since 2007.
Stylish downtown reception hall City Winery will be the venue for this groundbreaking event, presented in collaboration with the New York LGBT Wedding Expo.
Expect high-end fabrics, tailored details and real lesbian couples modeling side by side.
Collette McLafferty of Rock Rebel Rising and DJ Ashu Rai of Sholay Productions (Desilicious) will collaborate on the music for the show. Says Ms. Patwa, "Same-sex couples don't have to match literally, but elements of their attire can connect them, whether it's fabric, colors, design details, or just a concept."

Draft 2016. So….underwhelming. Outside of the no-brainer #1 pick, there's precious little to get excited about. The Blazers being sans pick only adds to my sense of ennui. Nevertheless, here is my rambling analysis of some prospects in a range where you could reasonably expect the Blazers to nab a pick, vaguely listed from worst to best.
Joel 'Bologna Boy' Bolomboy is an athletic, tenacious player who can score but is raw otherwise well into his 22nd year of existence. Perhaps the Weber State connection puts him on our radar, but I doubt he's an NBA player. Ben Bentil and Robert Carter fit a similar mold.
As program pedigree and national notoriety dictate, Tyler Ulis is slated to go around 25 spots higher than Kay Felder. This is all business as usual – only problem is there's a decent argument to be made that Felder is the better player, has the stronger frame and is the one with the requisite stupid athleticism required for waterbugs to make it in the league.
Caris LaVert and Gary Payton II are guys with a lot of talent who may both end up undrafted. For LaVert, medical reports on his foot will probably determine whether he's a 2nd round pick up or a Summer League roster invite. Ignoring that caveat, LaVert is a fun prospect – a talented passer who takes care of the ball and can really stroke it. His best case might look something like current Shaun Livingston with a 3 ball – shooting over smaller guards on offense and providing smart defense as a backup guard. Payton has the disadvantage of being really old for a draft prospect. His athletic fury and balls out style reminds me of a certain OKC guard and I feel like he could turn out to be what people thought Westbrook would be if he busted – a tweener guard who uses his athleticism to turn the screws on defense and create havoc in the open floor on offense. I'd like for the Blazers to take a flyer on Payton if they can buy a late 2nd rounder – he'd add something we lack.
AJ Hammons is even older than Payton and feels like a Hibbert clone coming out just as that type of big man is seeing a massive downturn in value. Damian Jones is more in the mold of the bouncy, rangy 7 footer that NBA front offices desire and is young enough that he could still justifiably have the unrealised potential tag attached to him. Recent surgery for a torn pec has him falling in the draft a tad – might be another flyer worth looking into for Olshey.
If a smarter, lower ceiling Meyers Leonard is what you're looking for, Stephen Zimmerman could be your man. He's versatile, can shoot some and is a smart and mobile defender but was mis-cast as a post player at UNLV. A former top HS recruit, Zimmerman could very well end up a solid rotation big – unlikely to be a home run prospect but represents decent value in the mid 2nd.
Guerschon Yabusele is a tank of a man. 6'8 and 270 pounds of muscle, Yabusele could get a draft day boost from stylistic similarities to Draymond Green. His 43% mark from deep in the French Pro 1 league last year won't hurt either. I think his lack of elite quickness and athleticism put him on a path to be more like a poor man's Boris Diaw than a store brand Draymond Green but that's nothing to sneeze at.
Following on from the Nuggets duo of Jokic and Nurkic, the Adriatic League big man prospects for 2016 are Ante Zizic and Ivica Zubac. At first glance, I see Zizic as the more advanced and solid prospect but Zubac has been racing up mock draft boards with whispers of upside as the wing beneath his wings. Zizic put up a 26 PER in the Adriatic League last season as a 19 year old and is a fluid and relatively explosive 7 footer works hard under the basket on both ends. Zubac is heavier, more ground bound but still moves well – his offensive ceiling is perceived to be higher but I'm not sure that makes up for the lack of production and athleticism compared to Zizic at a similar age.
Diamond Stone was on my radar as a prospect years ago – initially as the #1 rated HS recruit for his class, then as an undervalued talent as he slid down mock draft boards. Unfortunately, the Combine kinda killed any hype he had left for me – 6'10 (not the 7'0 he 'measured' at HS events), tiny hands, high body fat and poor standing and max vert results all point to him struggling in the NBA. Stone is a post game bully entering the pace and space NBA. Couple that with attitude and coachability question marks and I don't know if he survives.
Beyond these prospects, I think we'd be asking Olshey to give up more than he'd be willing to. If I had to guess at our most likely targets, I'd probably say Stephen Zimmerman as a Meyers reset and Gary Payton II to add some defensive punch to our backcourt rotation. As mid to late 2nd round guys, the cost to get them should be negligible and while the payoff likely won't be astronomical, both could move the needle at least a little. We all know how much Olshey enjoys a moved needle.

Will the nickname — Mr. Game 7 — find its way into deep storage for the summer months and get packed away, perhaps to be unveiled in future postseasons?
Kings right wing Justin Williams summoned his late-series magic and brought it out uncommonly early against the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Final. He scored the winning goal at 4 minutes 36 seconds of overtime as the Kings beat the Rangers, 3-2, in Game 1 on Wednesday at Staples Center.
Williams and the Kings are three games away from winning their second Stanley Cup in three years. Granted, it's still a long road, but if Williams keeps scoring clutch goals maybe they won't require a bravura performance from Mr. Game 7 in Game 7.
"I'd like to call him Mr. Game 1, 2, 3 and 4," Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell said. "It takes four wins. If he can do that three more times, that would be really nice."
Said Kings left wing Kyle Clifford: "You know all about him. He's a special player. With this group, we've always known he was Captain Clutch. It's special to share a locker room with him."
Williams has eight goals and 20 points in this playoff run, and is 7-0 in career Game 7s, including three during this postseason.
"At first, it's maybe lucky, but then you see it over and over again," said Kings center Mike Richards, who set up the game-winner after jumping on a turnover by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi. "He just finds those areas and finds ways to step up in big situations. Tonight was no different."
Of course, Williams is the man of many nicknames: Stick, JWill, Captain Clutch, Mr. Game 7 … and now Mr. Game 1. The accolades tend to embarrass him and he looked that way when Kings defenseman Drew Doughty heaped praise on him at the podium.
Williams gave credit to Richards for setting up the goal and went on to talk about the ways the Kings need to improve for Game 2.
"We certainly don't want to make a habit out of this," Williams said of the sluggish start. "That is a world-class team up there with world-class offense. There could have been a lot of story lines tonight. They had a breakaway in the end of the third period [by Carl Hagelin] that [Jonathan] Quick made a great save on, we wouldn't be sitting here right now."
The running-on-fumes Kings survived a game full of dodgy moments, rallying from a 2-0 first-period deficit. They tied on it goals by Clifford at 17:33 of the first and a brilliant toe-drag goal by Doughty at 6:36 of the second, set up by Williams.
In fact, the Kings have played consecutive overtime games and required overtime in three of their last four games. They got better as they went along, outshooting the Rangers, 20-3, in the third period.
"I think [the Rangers] had a lot of energy and were fresh," Kings Coach Darryl Sutter said. "If you look at their playoffs in the first periods, they've had really good first periods every game. You look at it, not I think, I know, that we were not on full tanks."
Sutter said that his goalie, Quick, was their best player, and Quick prevented the game from turning into a runaway in the opening period. Benoit Pouliot took advantage of a Doughty miscue and scored on a breakaway at 13:21 and Hagelin's short-handed goal, which deflected in off Kings defenseman Slava Voynov's skate made it 2-0 at 15:03.
The Kings used an unusual combination for Game1 success. There were the usual suspects such as Quick and Doughty.
Then there was Clifford, who hadn't scored since Dec. 11 against Toronto, and had the goal and an assist.
Williams, though, has been their spiritual leader.
"I've said this many times: Justin is the most underrated player on our team by a mile," Doughty said. "He doesn't get enough credit for what he does. There are two guys on this team that I want to give the puck to, and that's him and Kopi [Anze Kopitar].
"When they have the puck, plays happen."

Quick Reference
(b Naumburg, 29 July 1646; d Naumburg, 24 June 1724). German composer and theorist. He was a valued pupil of Schütz. His compositions include masses in the stile antico, concertato motets, a St Matthew Passion (1673)—one of the earliest to involve commentary arias—and the opera Adam und Eva (1678), for the opening of the Theater am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. His most famous theory treatise was his Musikalisches Kunst-Buch, which may have prompted Bach to compose The Art of Fugue.

- Review by Kristina Anderson, The Avid Reader
Overall Rating
Love and Buggy Rides (Amy Clipston) is set in Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. Janie Lantz has a new job as cashier at Lancaster Buggy Rides and Souvenirs. On her first day Janie witnesses an accident between a car and one of the buggy drivers. Janie is not questioned by the police at the time. Later on, Janie hears that the car driver is blaming Jonathan Stoltzfus, the buggy driver, for the accident. Janie wants to come forward to clear his name, but her father forbids it. Will Janie listen to her conscience or her father?
A Quiet Love (Kathleen Fuller) takes place in Middlefield, Ohio. Dinah Keim has a bad stutter and prefers to be alone (to read book, write poetry, and not be judged). Her mother is sending her to help her Aunt Judith in Ohio. Dinah meets Amos who is different. These two form a bond. But are they meant to be?
Mischief in the Autumn Air by Vannetta Chapman is the final story. Martha Beiler is a widow in Sugar Creek, Ohio. Martha has just received a letter from Aunt Irene who is offering her a place to live in Shipshewana (there are a few rules though). Martha has no choice but to accept. Aunt Irene is not the most pleasant person in the world and Martha is thankful for the job she gets at a local auction barn (Bishop arranged it for her). Eli Wittmer owns the auction barn and is having trouble adjusting to Martha's sunny disposition (and many suggestions). During the Fall Festival (they are very busy), Martha notices some unusual bidders. She tries to warn Eli but he ignores her. Three items went for an unusually high price and they were sold to the strange bidders. Upon further examination, they discover parts of a map on the three pieces. The furniture belonged to Jacob and Charity Weaver who just moved into a retirement home. Eli and Martha set off to get answers and unravel the mystery.
An Amish Harvest was a pleasure to read. Each story was well-written, had likeable and engaging characters, and a moral lesson (that apply to all readers). An example is relying on God and his plan for each of our lives. The stories are short (the last one is the longest), but they are packed with charm. I enjoyed the fall time period. It is my favorite time of year and the one thing I miss by living in Florida (we never really have a fall). My favorite story was Mischief in the Autumn Air. I liked the unique mystery, the setting, and the characters (Martha had a good outlook on life and personality). I give An Amish Harvest 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). You can purchase the book whole or you can buy the stories individually (if you just wanted one or two of them). I will definitely read books by each of these authors in the future.
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own.

Russian punkers Pussy Riot hit New York City with claws bared Tuesday — challenging President Obama to call out Vladimir Putin for the human-rights abuses going on in Russia.
"This call and appeal is not to be afraid to publicly say your thoughts about what you feel is happening in Russia once you are there during your next visit," Nadya Tolokonnikova said at a Midtown press conference during the band's first US appearance.
She and fellow formerly jailed band member Maria Alyokhina spoke out on the eve of their being honored in a star-studded Amnesty International concert Wednesday night at Barclays Center.
Alyokhina said Americans are getting a rosy and false view of Russia because of the Winter Olympics site in Sochi.
"We would for Americans to really look at Russia and see Russia beyond the images of Olympic objects and buildings," she said. "The only thing which connects these objects to the country is taxpayer money which has been stolen and which has been used to build these Olympic objects."
The women were released in December after nearly two years in jail following a conviction for "hooliganism" — performing a protest at a Moscow church. A third member of the group was freed earlier.
They said they would start their own human-rights organization, the Zone of Rights, and thanked Westerners for writing to them in jail.
"What makes you keep on living and keep on wanting to live, even behind prison bars, is that feeling of solidarity and compassion," Tolokonnikova said. "It goes even through thick prison walls."
Madonna is scheduled to introduce Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina, whom she calls "my fellow freedom fighters," at the "Bringing Human Rights Home" concert, the first major Amnesty International show in six years. The Russians will speak but not perform at the show.
Asked if they would ever perform again, Tolokonnikova said, "It's absolutely impossible to take this out of us."
Madonna joined the chorus of the band's supporters this week."I have admired [Pussy Riot's] courage and have long supported their commitment and the sacrifices they have made in the name of freedom of expression and human rights," she said.
The Pussy Riot protest still doesn't sit well with many Russians. A poll released Monday found nearly 40 percent disapproved of Putin's cutting short their prison sentences.
