Lots of Things Happening in December, and We're Also Cooking with Herbs!
First, December is time for A Menu for Hope, a food blogger fundraiser to support the UN World Food Program. I'm hosting for the mid-U.S. region again this year, so contact me if you'd like to offer a prize. You can get more details about A Menu for Hope 2007 at Chez Pim.
Also happening in December is the Food Blog Awards. You only only have until December 5 at midnight to make nominations if you'd like to give a nod to your faves, so head over to the Well Fed Network and nominate your favorite food blogs.
Now, back to Weekend Herb Blogging #111. As usual a lot of fantastic cooks have been using interesting ingredients and sending recipes to share with all of you. This time there are some really unusual things on the menu, so let's start talking about them.
Jerry from Jerry's Thoughts, Musings, and Rants is really longing for breakfast in bed, but it is not to be, so he gets busy and makes Ham and Asparagus Fritatta. I love the sound of Gruyere cheese in this, one of my very favorite types of cheese.
Assorted Herbs
Bamboo Shoots
Arfi from HomeMadeS discovers bamboo shoots growing by a river, which remind her of a dish her mother used to make. After some consultation, she creates Bamboo Shoots and Banana Bud Curry, made in the Tagalan style of Indonesian cooking. Be sure to take a look at these interesting ingredients.
Barlotti Beans
An entry from Pepy of The Art and Science of Food reminded me of why I love Weekend Herb Blogging, since she wrote about bilimbi, a fruit I've never heard of before. You can follow that link to Wikipedia if you also don't know what this tropical fruit is, but then be sure to visit Pepy to see her dish of Bilimbi and Cumi Tumis Aceh, which also uses another very interesting ingredients.
Butternut Squash
At Kalyn's Kitchen I was in a bit of a cabbage mood this week, and Asian Cabbage Salad with Sesame Seeds and Peanuts seemed like a great way to have a crunchy salad with cabbage that's pretty nutritious and tasty too. I love sesame seeds, and was surprised to realize I'd never written about them before for Weekend Herb Blogging.
Dried Beans
I'm a huge fan of white bean chili, and Pam at Sidewalk Shoes has created a Slow-Cooker White Chili that sounds just wonderful. The dish has dried beans, garlic, onions, jalapenos, and oregano, but I think Pam would agree with me that even though I'm filing it under beans, it wouldn't be the same without the cilantro.
Terry at Blue Kitchen is also making white chili, but his version is White Chile with More Spice than Fire. The chili is seasoned with garlic, ginger, bay leaves, cumin, and oregano, and then garnished with tomatoes, green onions, and lots of chopped cilantro for a finish that makes me smile.
I always love to see what Burcu is cooking at Almost Turkish Recipes, and usually it's something that looks great to me. This week she has used some Sujuk, a type of middle eastern beef sausage, and made Black-Eyed Peas with Sujuk. There's parsley and tomatoes in there, but I've made an executive decision and filed this one with the beans!
File (Sassafras leaves)
She may kill me for this, but before I tell you about what she's been cooking I want to say Happy Birthday (today!) to Sher from What Did You Eat! (And not only do Sher and I have our birthdays just six days apart, but we are the same age, so we've agreed that we really should be celebrating together!) Ok, got distracted there, but wait until you see Sher's fabulous contribution of Shrimp and Crab File Seafood Gumbo. File leaves are used to flavor and thicken the gumbo, and this is a Cajun dish which never contains okra. This is a dish that Sher grew up making, and when you read her post it will be easy to see why this is her very favorite meal.
Strata of My Bay Area Garden always has something interesting growing in her garden. Today my own garden is buried deep under the snow, while Strata is growing greens hydroponically, things like Tsa Tsoi and Forenschluss Speckled Lettuce. Check it out, you will be impressed and possibly a bit envious if your garden is also under the snow.
Jerusalem Artichoke
A delightful sounding soup made from topinambour or Jerusalem artichoke was sent by Ronell from My French Kitchen. I was so happy to see a photo of Jerusalem artichokes, which I haven't had before, and the Jerusalem Artichoke Soup with shallots, sweet potatoes, boquet garnic, and just a touch of cream and lemon sounds wonderful.
I love experimenting with recipes and so does Helen of News from My Kitchen. Recently she tried an interesting combination of ingredients to make Kiwi Beetroot Chocolate Cheese Coins, a type of little cookie which sounds quite intriguing.
What are the odds that two bloggers would write about Kohlrabi the same week; it must be a trend, don't you think? At Farmgirl Fare Susan is answering her own question, What to Do with Purple Kohlrabi: Puree It! Be sure to check out the purple kohlrabi, especially if you haven't seen this interesting plant.
Puy lentils are such a wonderfully versatile food, and at Vanielje Kitchen, she is using them as the main ingredient for a wonderful sounding salad. I love the sound of Autumn Puy Lentil salad with Feta and Sundried Tomatoes, so many of my favorite flavors!
Gay from A Scientist in the Kitchen is lucky to live in a place where there are lots of mangoes! She's giving us some interesting mango facts this week, and a recipe for Green, Red, and Yellow Veggies with Mango-Mayo Dressing. I love the sound of a slightly spicy dressing with mango!
If you have mint in your freezer you can make mojitos all winter long, so says Gwen of Intoxicated Zodiac. The Hibiscus Water Mojito she's making is especially for Taurus, but even if you're not a Taurus, it sounds very tasty.
The discovery of a container of duck stock in the freezer has inspired Jeanne of Cook Sister to combine it with mushrooms and make Cream of Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil. Although the duck stock made this soup special for sentimental reasons, Jeanne assures us you can make it with chicken stock if you don't have any sentimental duck stock on hand.
Apparently I am not the only one who wants something fast for breakfast, because Sophie from Mostly Eating has been experimenting with ways to make porridge more quickly and also variations to add some interest. Wait until you see her latest one, Fig and Plum Porridge, definitely a winner. She has lots of other great ideas too, if you're a lover of porridge (that's oatmeal in the U.S.) don't miss this post.
If you're looking for an interesting idea for a homemade gift, consider the delightful sounding Vin d' Oranges that Jennifer has made at Like to Cook. The combination of oranges, white wine, orange zest, sugar, and vodka hang out together to produce a delightful fruity liqueur.
I'm feeling rather jealous of Erin from The Skinny Gourmet who's living for a while in Ghana, doesn't that sound exciting. Erin is making the most of the local produce while she's there and this time she's prepared Papaya Faux-Custard with Pistachio, Honey, and Pomegranate, yum!
Pattypan Squash
At Jugalbandai, Jai and Bee have some adorable little pattypan squash to play with in their kitchen. Of course, being such a creative team, they've come up with Pattypan Squash Pizza, a very innovative use of one of my favorite garden veggies!
A recent visit to Italy took Simona from Briciole to her hometown of Orvieto where there is a saying "Don't let the peasants know how good cheese is with pears." Simona says it's a bit of a paradox, since it seems that everyone in Italy knows that Cheese and Pears or Formaggio con le Pere is a marriage made in heaven.
In Greece apparently vegetables that are cooked in tomato sauce until tender are called Yiachni, and Laurie from Tastes Like Home – Mediterranean Cooking in Alaska has made a tasty dish of Potatoes Yiachni in Tomato Onion Sauce. What caught my eye is that the potatoes are spiced up with Aleppo pepper, one of my very favorite ingredients!
Anna from Anna's Cool Finds is always focused on healthy eating, so when she decided to use canned Campbell's soup for a dish of Yukon Gold Potatoes with Cheesy Sauce, she wanted to see just what she was eating. Don't miss Anna's deconstructing the Campbell's soup label, and see if the canned soup is more or less healthy than you would imagine.
Gretchen from Canela & Comino sends a very interesting recipe for Radicchio Salad, plus some amusing observations about a famous U.S. cooking icon. Turns out Gretchen's own cooking skills aren't too shabby, her version is better than the inspiring recipe.
Y at Lemonpi is remembering Adrienne Shelly, the writer and director of the movie Waitress who was murdered before knowing her movie had been successful. In the spirit of the movie and in memory of a talented woman, Y has created I'll Miss You Adrienne Shelly Pie, a delicious sounding pie with strawberries. (Lovely movie if you have not seen it.)

Human spaceflight and exploration
Based on past successes, the changes that have taken place since the Ministerial Council in 2008 and the challenges of the future, ESA will focus on the full exploitation and utilisation of the ISS and on the ExoMars project implementation as short-term top priorities within a long-term strategy.
The Director General has developed, in consultation with the stakeholders concerned, a coherent exploration strategy aimed at providing a strong and balanced space exploration programme to multiple destinations: low Earth orbit, the Earth's Moon and the Mars system. It is in line with the orientations of the Seventh Space Council in November 2010, inviting the European Commission and the ESA Director General to develop and propose a European exploration strategy encompassing:
- Long-term roadmaps and associated programmes for technologies, in particular for automated and robotic systems, advanced propulsion, and energy and life support systems;
- Fostering interdisciplinary innovation and cooperation;
- European contribution to an international cooperation programme, built on European expertise and interests in line with the roadmaps above.
Developing the required innovative technologies will position Europe as a major actor in this domain. While the exploration of each of these destinations is driven by specific objectives and interests, and implemented with a unique set of capabilities, synergies between them are apparent on a programmatic level. These synergies will be developed and exploited for science, technological excellence and industrial competitiveness as well as for international partnerships.
Five clusters of activities are envisaged for each destination to: sustain ongoing activities and missions under development; start new development activities through the implementation of new missions; prepare for well-defined future missions; develop specific long-term enabling technologies; study prospective missions and technologies, including investigating potential partnerships.
Detailed technology roadmaps have been prepared as part of the Cross-Cutting Technologies, highlighting the current and targeted level of maturity of each technology, the funding programme and the relevance for the envisaged mission.
Proposal to the Ministerial Council
The Ministerial Council 2012 is decisive to further align European activities in view of enhancing European capabilities in critical domains of exploration in the long-term. It will take account of the international context and has the following objectives for the next decade:
- For low Earth orbit: full exploitation of the ISS until 2020 and proceeding further in human exploration preparatory activities;
- For the Moon: two missions, the Lunar Lander and Lunar Polar Sample Return;
- For Mars: two missions, ExoMars and the first EREP mission.
While these activities cover the steps planned for the next decade, activities towards longer-term planning definition, especially to address European contribution to a long-term international cooperation programme, will proceed taking advantage of frameworks like the High level Platform initiated in Lucca in 2011.

Submissions Now Open
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA–(Marketwire – Nov 8, 2012) – Documentary Week (DocWeek) have invited Pozible, Australia's only crowdfunding platform, to create a Pozible Pitch during DocWeek to help filmmakers raise funds for their work. Pozible was developed 2 years ago to showcase creative projects and has been successfully raising funds for artists, filmmakers, designers, software developers, and more. The largest amount of money raised through the Pozible crowdfunding platform for an individual campaign is $243,000.
Joost den Hartog, Director of Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) andDocWeek, said, "It's great that Pozible are on board as a partner; documentary makers will have another opportunity to raise money for their films online via Pozible and then pitch their film to a live audience of documentary lovers at DocWeek. The Pozible Pitch at DocWeek and AIDC adds the general public as active participants to its traditional market line-up of broadcasters, agencies and investors."
Submissions are now open on the DocWeek and AIDC website and close on the 21st December 2012. Successful applicants will be offered a mentoring session with Pozible to support their Pozible on-line campaign which is expected to go live on-line in February 2013. During DocWeek the filmmakers will have another opportunity to pitch their film to a live audience and raise further cash.
Rick Chen, Director of Pozible, said, "I am really excited to be partnering up with the AIDC for DocWeek in 2013. This is the first time in Australia a film festival or conference has joined forces with a crowdfunding platform to try to harness the support of audiences to boost a crowdfunding campaign. The Pozible Pitch will also hopefully see filmmakers be able to leverage the success of their crowdfunding campaigns to attract other kinds of investment and marketplace interest in their films."
The Pozible Pitches will take place during DocWeek at several venues around Adelaide's CBD from Monday 25th of February til Sunday 3rd of March. For further information on the Pozible Pitch and terms and conditions please visit …

Reality Check: Group runs misleading ad on Janesville GM plant
Conservative group runs ad attacking Obama
MADISON, Wis. — It may look and sound like it's coming from a local group, but an Iowa group is sharing its version of the history of General Motors in Janesville in a television ad.
The ad is paid for by the American Future Fund, which is a 501(c)4 organization. That's a special classification of nonprofit that allows them to spend up to half of their money on political causes, without having to disclose any of their donors. The group is run by an Iowa state legislator, and the website said it was formed to provide a "conservative and free-market viewpoint."
The ad begins by playing a video clip of then candidate Barack Obama speaking at the GM plant in Janesville in February 2008, with a banner saying "his words gave us hope."
"I believe that if your government is there to support you and give you the assistance you need to retool and make this transition, that this plant will be here for another 100 years," Obama says in the ad.
You then hear U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's voice, taken from his speech at the Republican National Convention.
"Well, as it turned out that plant didn't last another year," said Ryan, as another banner comes across the screen, saying, "But results matter more than promises."16656328
Ryan goes on to say, "And that's how it is in so many towns, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight." The ad shows a citation from an Associated Press article from April 2009 saying the plant was closing for good.
WISC-TV found this is misleading. WISC-TV looked at this issue when Ryan made this argument in his convention speech.
Yes, the plant shut down for good in 2009, but the announcement of the planned closing and a ramp-down in production happened before Obama was even president. GM executives announced the planned closure of the Janesville plant in June 2008, saying there was no demand for the trucks and SUVs the plant was producing. They then ramped down production in December 2008, and completely closed it in April 2009, after the auto bailout and Obama had been president for four months.
Did the president say he thought the plant would be there for a 100 years? Absolutely. But his belief was contingent on a re-tool of the plant to make fuel-efficient vehicles, which GM never did. And while Obama has tried to push GM to make more fuel-efficient vehicles, nowhere has it been made apparent that he pushed for a re-opening of the plant either.

James Kirwa & Mary Akor Take Top Spots at Pittsburgh Marathon
2013 Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Coverage
James Kirwa of Kenya has won his second straight Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday amid heightened security following the Boston Marathon bombings and with a contingent of runners unable to finish the Boston race.
About three dozen participants in Sunday's race were expected to be runners who had been unable to finish last month's Boston Marathon. A marathon spokesman said the race's sponsor was paying transportation and lodging costs to help the 37 runners participate.
Support for Boston was evident throughout, with runners sporting pro-Boston T-shirts. One runner crossed the finish line carrying a large American flag.
Pittsburgh police were aided by Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency staff and other area police departments in providing security. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said a few people had received a few calls about people acting suspiciously, but they proved to be unfounded
Authorities said a runner collapsed and died during the half-marathon competition. Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Michael Huss said the 23-year-old man collapsed near paramedics at the 12-mile mark near Duquesne University. Officials said he was pronounced dead at UPMC Marcy Hospital. His name was not released. An autopsy by the Allegheny County coroner's office was scheduled Monday.
"This is a loss for the entire marathon family and our hearts and prayers go out to his family at this time," race director Patrice Matamoros said on the marathon's website.
Kirwa, finishing among a group of half-marathon participants, beat his time of a year ago with an unofficial mark of 2:13:37, becoming the first back-to-back male winner since Abel Gisemba in 1993-94.
"I'm really happy, and I am coming back next year," said Kirwa, who added that knowing the course made for a better time. Stephen Njoroge of Flushing, N.Y., was second on 2:14:10.
Mary Akor of Hawthorne, Calif., won the women's marathon, collapsing in exhaustion after crossing the finish line of 2:37:35. Hirut Beyene Guangal of Ethiopia was second in 2:38:05. She was third last year.
"I put a surge on Hirut at 23 miles on the downhill and never let up. I was determined to run hard and win," Akor said.
Marathon officials said more than 22,700 runners took part in men's and women's marathons and half-marathons, a record for the event.
Marathon Top Male Finishers: (Unofficial times)
- James Kirwa 2:13:35

After living with HIV infection for nearly 30 years, the thought of acquiring an STD like gonorrhea makes me feel ... nostalgic. But my flip attitude may be put to the test by a recent report at the Society for General Microbiology's spring meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland.
According to Catherine Ison, a microbiologist with the Health Protection Agency in London, the multi-drug resistance of the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea is threatening to make the STD (which can infect not only the male and female genital regions, but also the mouth, throat and eyes) hard to treat. "The current drugs of choice, ceftriaxone and cefixime, are still very effective," Ison said in a statement, "but there are signs that resistance particularly to cefixime is emerging and soon these drugs may not be a good choice."
Untreated gonorrhea can also lead to serious problems in both sexes and can spread to the blood and joints -- a potentially life-threatening condition. Pregnant women can pass the disease onto their fetuses leading to blindness, joint infection, or a life-threatening blood infection in babies, according to the CDC. The disease can cause infertility in both sexes.
Although gay men may not be as concerned about fertility, imagine if you will the sharp, burning pain sufferers experience during urination. Now imagine it won't go away because drugs can't treat it. And then your eyes and joints start acting up.
It's another great reason for sexually active gay men to consider condoms, even as the "crisis mentality" of AIDS diminishes. That's life: just as we get an exotic horror show like AIDS in check, some Golden Oldie like the clap reminds us we're never really out of the woods.

Philadelphia Civil Service Regulations
16.01 - LAYOFFS. The appointing authority may lay off an employee in the Civil Service only when necessary because of a reorganization resulting in the abolition of his position, or because of a lack of either work or funds.
16.011 - ORDER AND METHOD OF LAYOFF. Layoffs shall be made in the following manner:
16.0111 - Layoff Unit. The appointing authority, with the approval of the Director, shall determine the appropriate organizational unit within which the layoffs are to be made.
16.0112 - Number of Employees and Classes of Layoff. The appointing authority shall determine the number of employees to be laid off and the class or classes in which the layoffs are to be made.
16.0113 - Order of Layoff. Within each class in the appropriate unit, emergency employees shall be laid off first, followed successively by temporary, provisional, and permanent employees. Employees serving a probationary period are considered permanent employees for purposes of this section.
16.01131 - Among emergency, temporary and provisional employees, layoffs in each category may be made at the discretion of the appointing authority.
16.01132 - Among permanent employees layoffs shall be made in inverse order according to their combined total of points derived from seniority credit and performance rating credit as computed by the appointing authority.
16.01133 - A permanent employee, within the appropriate layoff unit, may elect, with the approval of the Director, to be placed at the top of the appropriate layoff list, provided that if more employees so elect than the number of layoffs required, the established procedures for determining layoff order shall apply to all those who so elect.
16.0114 - Seniority and Performance Ratings Computations. Copies of the computations of the seniority and performance rating credits shall be furnished by the appointing authority to the employees concerned and to the Director.
16.0115 - Layoff Notice. Each employee to be laid off shall be notified in writing at least two (2) weeks before the date of layoff, except where emergency considerations found and declared by the Director require a shorter period of notice.
16.0116 - Breaking Ties on Layoff Credit. When two or more employees have the same combined total of points from seniority credit and performance rating credit, the order of layoff shall be determined by giving preference for retention in the following sequence: (1) employee with the highest report of performance rating credit used in determining order of layoff; (2) employee with greatest total service in the City service.
16.012 - SENIORITY CREDIT. Seniority credit shall be granted at the rate of one point for each year, or major portion thereof, of City and active military service.
16.0121 - City Service.

Time served by an employee on a leave of absence without pay as a representative of an employee organization, as provided for in Section 22.10 of the Regulations, shall be included as service. While an approved leave of absence without pay, suspension without pay, or layoff, for a period exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days is not to be counted as service, time worked immediately preceding and that immediately following such breaks in employment is counted as service. If a person had a break in City service for reasons other than layoff, approved leave of absence, or suspension without pay for more than fifteen (15) continuous calendar days, he or she shall upon re-employment earn seniority as a new employee.

Mom and me
I living in an Indian village named kavundapadi it is situated in southern state of India State name is tamilnadu in our culture incest is forbidden sin. But it happens in my life it is changed me all of sexual thoughts in my life. I never thinks it happens in my life.
When the situations changed in my life I am 21 and my mom was 44 she is very sexy in that age 5 .1 ft. Height and 70 kg weight with big size boobs and heavy large as cheeks it is jiggling when she walk I looks it jig-jag moves from her back., it is hard on me every time I see that.
Just more about my mom, She had a housewife and her skin was wheat colored. She had thick black long hair up to her buttocks, big mouth full of teeth and striking black eyes. Long and well shaped nose and small and sexy lips and cute redden cheeks and above mentioned boobs and structure that anybody looks she his cock will hard on without any sexual thoughts when I turn to mature (I mean sexual feels grown my mind) I Imagined my mom as my sexual partner I masturbates every time in my bathroom or bedroom with her fantasies
The first time I saw her naked body was in an unexpected situation one day it was a Sunday My Dad and my sister had gone out of our cousins wedding anniversary. So me and mom alone I am in my room time was 11.30 pm my mom finished her kitchen work and go to take her bath (when she takes bath she sings any movie song slightly ,That is her hobby)I heard her sings from her bathroom I have long last desire to see her naked body. It is time for that. I got up and put on my half pants and T-shirt. I slowly opened my door and peered down the hallway. Mom was obviously already in the bathroom. I could see that the steam that was escaping cracked the door.
I slowly walked down the hall as I directed the bathroom I just happened to glance through the crack in the door. There I saw Mom totally nude getting ready to step into the bath. Ho! It is getting blood pressure me my head is shivered with hot blood circulation heart pounding in like a drum beat sound I just stunned. My first look was at her ample butt as she cautiously stepped into the hot water. As she raised her leg, I could see a hint of her pussy lips. My cock suddenly jumped to attention. She turned in preparation to sit and I then saw her big tits with large round pink nipples. My eyes widened and quickly shoot to her hairy bush surrounding her pussy. My cock was pushing the fabric of my sweats to the limits. She slowly sat down in the tub and her lips parted in a deep sigh as she felt the heat engulf her body. Her head titled back and her breasts rose up as her long black hair cascaded over her back.
I felt dizzy and confused. This was my own Mom here. But she was naked and she did not know I could see. Yet my cock was hard as a rock. Still watching Mom as she began to wash herself my hand instinctively went under my half pants and I began to stroke. I could see the beads of sweat on Mom's shoulders as her body adjusted to the heat of the bath. She grabbed a washcloth and soap and began to wash herself. First, she went over her shoulders. Then she cupped each boob and washed underneath. I was feeling so crazy and stroking my cock felt so good that I had not realized that my half pants were now around my ankles. As I watched her breathe heavy and lift her legs up to wash I kicked my half pants completely off. I was stroking slowly but surely to orgasm. I did not want it to go too fast.
My head was swimming with the vision of naked Mom as she washed. Accidentally I leaned forward and stumbled though the cracked door. Mom looked up at me holding my rock hard cock with nothing but a T-shirt. Her eyes were shocked at first then angry.
"W-W-What are you doing?" She shouted
But I was stunned because of her full naked body to facing me
Again she shouted "W-w-what do you want?!"
"I'm your mother. Go away go this is your mom! Oh! God what is this she cry and take her bath towel with shivering hands and sat on the couch
Finally, I returned my normal stage then I suddenly know what is happen here I felt suddenly ashamed for what had happened I ran out of the bathroom and to my room. I quickly dressed and tried to get out the room. There was Mom blocking my way. Her face was flushed. Her bathrobe shut tight covered her body.
"you, what I just did was wrong," she said firmly, "I am going to have to tell your Dad what happened."
"What? What? No. No! Do not tell Dad! Please Mom!" 'Mummy, I would never do this in future'. I had tears streaming from my eyes.
Ok it is by my mistake "Oh god!" She exclaimed "I am so sorry; I have forgotten you at home. Oh my god I am so sorry!" She was crying and was having a hard time looking at me.
She told me 'son this is quite natural, when a boy turn to teenage. Why you will not do this. But do not do this too much. It might be cause of harm to your good health'. He remained silent. 'Honey, you can finish the job, as you wish. I am leaving.
I could not sleep all over that night. Only I was thinking of my mom's naked body. How I can stop myself, stop thinking of this? I know this is strictly forbidden to have sex with own mom but I am doing lot of forbidden things, this will be a little addition with those-I tried to convince myself.
The next day, all are gone to out when mom I and alone mom seemed to be escapist from me. I caught her at lunch and we ate together. Then I went my room to have a nap and at that time, she followed me. 'Can I have some chat with you,?' 'Yap, sure you can'. 'How longer you are doing this?'
'For two years'. 'Have you ever had sex with any girl?' I ashamed, 'No'. 'Then whom do you imagine when you do this'. I kept silent. She ask again but he remained silent. Then she asked 'any film actress?' 'No' I replied. 'Any sports girl' 'Nnnn'. 'Any girl from your friends?' 'Nn nnnn nnnnnno'. 'Then please tell me darling who is in your dream? More than one girl?' 'No Mummy, only one. She is not a girl at all, a lady'. 'Then who is that?' 'I am sorry Mom, it can't be told. I could never tell it'. I became suspicious. 'Okay my sweet honey, let's come to an agreement. I would never mind letting her name, whoever she is'. After a long silence my voice banged into my heart 'its you Momma'. She lost all controls over her and hugged me with her chest and started crying. 'I am sorry Mom, it hurts you. But I did not want to say. Please forgive your kid'. She could not have any reply but only cry hugging me. Then I stated in a mood of confession that I used to peep in her bedroom when she had started providing services at her home. 'I can't think of other ladies as I love only you Momma'. I think these words make her horny 'I love you my little chocolate, I love you more than my life baby'. Meanwhile she felt that my tool became erected but she did not let me understand that she had felt. She put my mouth to her breast over the blouse 'suck your Momma's breast like you did in childhood, suck those, bite on those'. Surprisingly I started unbuttoning her blouse and bra and kissed her huge and hard nipples. I took one in my mouth as much as I can and sucked and tool another in my palm and rubbing. She felt that her pre cum juice licked up to her knees. 'Suck me baby, suck harder. Bite those. Take me to the seventh heaven. Oh baby, suck, Oh yeah oh God, what a pleasure'. 'Momma, you taste so good, I had never thought'. 'Taste me more Hon, more and more'. She caught my giant over my boxer and then pulled down my boxer. 'Hon, I want to suck your cream roll'. She took my giant into her mouth I suddenly felt her lips wrap around my cock. And sucked artistically. She pulled her lips off my shaft with a pop.
"I want you to lick me and get me wet. Then you fill me with your cum."
Sure mom the hairy thing between your legs is swollen again. Is it swollen because you're thinking about what a mom you're going to be?"
"Yes, baby. Thanks to what you just said, my pussy"s getting ready for some heavy-duty lovemaking."
"Can I feel if it's wet?"
"It's wet honey. Go ahead, you bad boy, you can put your fingers in me. Ohh, that's nice.", "Pull your fingers out of mom's pussy now, darling and see how wet they are."
"Ooohh mom," "You're wet!"
"Ooohhh mom. I love it!"
"Would like a drink right from my pussy?"
"Ooohh YAAA, mom!"
"Now cup your palm while I rub myself. Aaahh! Uuuhhh! Aaaahhh! "
Aaahh! Yes! Yes!"
"Do you want to be the first mutherfucker to suck my cunt tonight, dear?"
"oh yes, mom!"
With that, she spread her knees and presented me, her son with the fleshy expanse of her flawless inner thighs, widening as they converged on her hairy mound, her organ of lust–her contribution to various gatherings, which always became the main focus for all the other debauchees.
"Here we go, baby; here we go," she gasped as, with her jugs swinging over my neck, she drew my face into her thatch. "Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Open your mouth, dear! That is right! That is right! That is right! Yes! Ooohh God! Ooohh God! Suck it! Suck it! Oohh my God! Ooohh my God! YES! YES! YES! YES!"
I grabbed her ass and felt that these were squeezed. 'Oh yeeeeeeeeah baby, I am coming, hold me son, oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'. I felt an explosion inside of my mouth. Mom fired with a huge load in my mouth. A tons of load and I drunk all of those and filled my belly with own mom's juices. I took every drop of her cum.
After the orgasm finished she tired with widen her legs I see the juices comes slowly from her lovely hairy pussy that I wish to see many years it is in my front of eye I wouldn't believe there I was came I licked now and I liked the salty taste flooding my mouth.
A few Minuets after We both went to the bathroom and got fresh. Then we lay on bed. She started kissing me on lips and then chest nipples. She told Me Love you so much my son I forgotten you very late no I never fail to spot you to any girl It made me hard-on again. I squeezed her nipples and sucked both.
I kissed her belly, naval and again tits. She was moving to the extreme of joy. She untied her bathrobe. She smiled to me 'Come on hon. You momma is for yours. Please acquire your asset. Come on hon. Destroy me with your massive rod. I cannot wait baby, come on'. She grabbed my giant and placed it on her pussy. I spread her pussy lips and guided my cock head into Her hot wet twat.
"Oooooo fuck me good son!"
I stroked slowly at first. It made a little pain her but she laughed to see my inexperienced action. 'Bring it out darling and burry it slowly'. 'Okay momma'. I took my cock off and again pushed it slowly inside of her wet pussy. She moved her ass to take it completely inside. I started pumping with a slow rhythm and a sweet sound was coming from her wet pussy with my every stroke. 'Oh, Ah, baby fuck me, fuck me until I die' she was moaning. It made me more excited 'take it momma, your little pig is for you momma, take me in full, take darling momma'. She grabbed my ass with her legs
I penetrated her deeper and deeper. Once I hit the hilt of her pussy, I started to increase my speed. I reached around to grab her tits as started to fuck her like a wild animal. I started to grunt. She was moaning and squealing. 'Kick hon. Kick faster, crash my breast, and kill me my sweet flesh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, fuck me babe, ffffffffffffffffffuck me'. It took around half an hour. . I quickened my manipulations on her clit because I wanted her to cum before I did and I was going to cum soon. The second I felt her walls clench onto my dick, I heard her scream, "Cum inside me son cum NOW!!"
But it is sin I know a son fuck own mother and also cum in her cunt where he came so want to cum in here mouth but how I say to her she is in the top of her orgasm she don't allow me to back the rod. I slowly stopped and look her eyes she is partly closed her eyes here lips are shivering and murmuring son mmmmmmsoos son fuck me cum in to me I want your seed in my womb oh fuck then suddenly she opened her eyes what son why stop I want you seed in my cunt I
Want its hot feels in my inner walls. But mom I like to cum in your mouth Mom. I want you to swallow my sperm I never cum in mouth of girl or Woman. But honey I want to cum in my cunt that's only enough to finish my lust my cock is till in her tight cunt she move and back her hips that is any time explosion in her cunt "'Honey, boar my pussy and move into my womb where you were come from.

More fuck, more, faster my baby move faster, faster, faster Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wooooooooooooooooo!' so I am moved my shaft like a 100 hp mechanical engine and I felt a wild storm inside of her pussy. It felt like a mortar shell came out from canon. She also felt that she told me in her murmuring voices. She feels her cunt as a fire pot she sounded hrrrrrhrhhm like roaring hrmrmmmson fast fastffffffffast hereeree comeeeeeees mrmemeeemeson her hips up to me my shaft full length in her cunt she up my whole body to air and suddenly down to the bed. And widen her legs the pussy juices flood leaked and spray to my bottom belly in the two side of my cock gap of her pussy. I started stroking faster. I felt that I was also on the blast. 'Mommaaaaaaa, oh momma. Take your sons seeds. Momma I am coming. I love you mommaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. What a pleasure you gave me momma. Hold me tight, hole me, mommmmmmmm'.
We laid on each other's arm exhausted. I got real satisfaction from my own mom the heavenly journey with my own momma.
That is the beginning. We started fucking every days and nights whenever time available. She taught me secrets of sex, arts and positions of fucking, behaviors on bed and many more.
In the very early morning of her wedding day, I gifted her a grand pleasure. Though it was new for her as well. She allowed me to fuck her virgin ass for two times and for around one and half-hour. It was undiscovered to me that how pleasant it would be!
Today is my momma's wedding day I want to present something special to her because her man is not here Now (Sis and Dad gone out for one of our cousins anniversary previously I said that) I am the man of her pussy and whole body. This time a special treat I will give her early morning I waken up and wash the face, brushing and other daily routines done then go to kitchen there is momma-preparing break fast for us. She turned to me and asked me are you had a good sleep honey. Yeh. Mom it is a deadfall sleep long days after thanks a lot momma. Same as me too honey. "Happy anniversary Momma" I grabbed her big tits and kiss her lips like lovers. Oh than my dearest loving son, "What thing you kept me to as wedding day present. It is Surprise momma if you want this time I am ready. Sure, my son honey. Give it me. Ok shut your eyes momma she closed her eyes suddenly I lift her skirt she opened her eyes What you want hone this early morning what the prize you brought to me. Momma that try to shown for you
What is my little child you want your momma pussy early morning yeah very need momma OK She lift and remove her dress and grab my hand lead to her bedroom. Then she lay down the bed and widen part her thighs there her heaven door is open for my rod the reddish colored thick lips invite me to fuck my cock is like an steel rod I won't to wait I remove my underpants and T-shirt then climbed on her body. Oh honey no first fuck first take some outer play then only take it in your momma pussy it is the order to fuck a woman moved down to her pussy its musky smell kick to my head I like the smell of her pussy.
I leaned over and licked one lip, then the other. She was so wet already but I had to eat this marvellous thing. Mom began to whimper, anticipating my hunger, her hands found my head and she began to run her fingers through my hair coaxing me to start feeding Her pussy tasted so well. I lapped at it like a kitten and ate it like a starving man. Her writhing form told me that my ministrations were just what she wanted and I had to fight to not grab my pulsing cock. I stuck a finger into her wet hole and then two. I could tell she was close to orgasm so I picked up the pace with my fingers and my tongue. When I felt the first clench of momma pussy, I locked onto her clit. I ran my tongue along her puffy slit, in the process stroking her clit with the tip, and began to lap at her inner thighs slowly licking the every trace of her wetness sticking to her thighs. I could feel the mind-blowing fragrance of her sex. I licked the slick hair covering her cuntlips, enjoying the taste of her juices. I loved eating pussy especially momma pussy tasted heavenly…that's what I felt…probably because one don't get a chance to suck his own mommas pussy…or probably it was more forbidden than any other pussy I had licked so far.
She screamed, "OH MY GOD!!!! I am cumming, I am cu—mming NOW!!!!! Faster, faster, faster, FASTER!!!!!" I could barely keep my mouth on her as she bucked around. I had to grab her legs and hold on for dear life just to finish the pleasuring I had started. My tongue again travelled back to her pussy lips, sucking her bigger than average clit. Mother squealed with delight. I took her clit between my lips and nibbled at it…mother moaned and her body twisted with delight. Suddenly, her body stiffened…her legs clutched my head strongly…her body quivered with a radiant abandon. Her moan was so loud Finally, after what seemed like hours, she pushed gently on my head. Her cunt pulsated uncontrollably and she filled my sucking tongue with her fresh honey. I greedily sucked every drop of it. She tasted so good that I wanted to continue but. When her orgasm subsided, she body went limp. She released her grip from my head and lowered her legs onto the bed. I withdrew my head and looked at her…my lips were smacked with her heavenly juice, which I was guzzling thirstily. "That's wonderful" I smiled at her, "Dad is a very lucky man, and I am also" She smiled back at me…breathing erratically…her eyes gleaming with strange glow.
Then I told her "Turn mother." I force her body on her sides and adjusted myself behind her. In the new position, I was facing her back…my cock poking into her anus. My hands slowly travelled to her buttocks, gently squeezing and releasing her tight melons. Her ass cheeks. That is large sized with orange colored I liked her ass cheeks when she walks its Jig –Jag Movement oh how many times I masturbate dreaming about her ass. Now it is fully naked in my eyes front I cannot believe They were taut and spongy. Again, I brought my lips over her one ass cheek and slowly bite it and licked the channel of ass and my tongue taste the salty taste of her anus I like it kissed her ass cheek hard. My one hand left her right ass cheek and slowly travelled over her thighs…
She moaned lightly. I lifted her leg and gently placed my cock on the ridge between her ass and cunt…my cock head touching the anal door. "Mummy I'm goanna fuck your ass. I rubbed my cock head along the ridge.
"No…no…!" She resisted. "Not there."
I laughed at her anxiety. "Don't worry… Momma it is one of other experiences give to you "ever Dad fuck your ass"? She said she loved taking it in the ass but her husband my Dad thought it was dirty and as long as he was taking care of her pussy, she did not mind. Now though, he was not doing his job so she is seeking relief and that when I do her ass she will play with her pussy to make herself cum. I told her it was okay with me, my cock had not tasted and asshole but it sure sounded interesting.
My fingers caressing her anal entrance. I greased her wrinkled hole with my spit and forced my index finger into her tight rectum. Her anus responded by squeezing around my intruding finger. Hooking my fingers into her hot crack of her ass,
Lube my cock and her ass up; got on all fours on the bed and told me to let her take my prick so she could guide it into her ass. She put my cock at her asshole, I pushed, and it did not go in so I pushed hard and it went all the way in and her virgin asshole was as tight as hell. Momma began to cry in pain when she turned her head back and saw my large rod pumped to the entrance of her tight virgin asshole being tormented by the 8 inches. But that just turned me on more and eventually the roughness grinded out and mom found the ass fuck very pleasurable and in between shrieks of pain and moans of pleasure momma screamed
"Oh honey…..y, your hurting me!"
But do not stop it I like the movement in there do not stop and pump it faster
The encouragement is give me too strength fuck so I am move faster and faster
Mmmmmhhh hhhrhrhrhohhhonnnnynnyn just like these sound come from her mouth I think she is closed her eyes I do not bother about that only concentrate in my mommas super big ass fucking I like the ass fuck it is better than her pussy.
"Deeper honey even "Don't stop son. She yelped a little, and then said it was fine, fuck her hard and I proceeded to fuck her lights out. , I really enjoyed her ass; it was hot and real tight on my prick I pumped in and out while slapping her ass cheek.
Hoooooo! Yeaahh! Ohhhhhhh dear honey it is wonderful don't come now faster and faster its continued half an hour she is still in doggy style I make her orgasm three or times she is any time collapsed to bed I know that I am controlled to cum I thought she never forgotten the ass fuck in this day special anniversary gift for her. She loves it she never forgotten this day. I will come in ant time but I Want to cum it in her mouth I want see my cum tasted she very deliciously so I slowly stopped the ass fuck and remove my cock from between the large ass cheeks my cock is full cover of her rectum fluid and it is creamy colored and it dropped our bed sheet she turn to me and asked what happened honey

She wet it with her saliva licking the bulbous head from one side to other. Then she opened her lips wide and took the cock head between her hot lips.
My cock knob is shining like 500 volts bulb she gulped the cram drop from my cock and slowly sucked
"It's so beautiful…so thick!!" She whispered trying to measure the circumference with her grip. She slid her hand up and down the whole length of the shaft, from my thick thatch of jet-black hair to its glistening head.
I forced my cock deep into her sucking mouth causing her to gag for a moment.
Then I eased my cock and drew it backward. Relaxed, she groped the base and took the remaining length inside her mouth.
Momma reached below the jutting cock-shaft and cupped my pendulous balls in her hand, caressing and squeezing them as she suck on my cock.
"Lick my balls… mommamm I grunted. "Take them in your mouth."
She obliged me by taking one of my balls inside her mouth and sucking it hard letting hot waves of pure lush through my body. She ran her tongue across my entire scrotum, as she took each ball into her mouth and washed it around. Satisfied with her effort she again diverted her attention to my cock and took it in her mouth.
I desperately wanted to cum in my momma's mouth. She sucked and licked with growing passion, squeezing my cock forcibly to release the drop of precum that might have built at the tip.
"I'm going to cum in your mouth. Drink it…every drop of it."
I pumped my cock deeper in her mouth. My whole body became tense with pleasure and then I began to ejaculate in my momma's loving mouth. Continued sucking my cock with ease without letting any drop ooze out of her lips.
Slowly the force of ejaculation subsided and my cock ceased throbbing inside her mouth. She continued sucking my softening cock. She looked at me and I gave her a satisfactory groan.
Then she gave it one final kiss and let go my cock out of her hungry mouth. She opened her mouth showing her tongue covered with my spunk. I drew her back in my arm and planted my lips over hers and buried my tongue deep inside cum filled mouth. I loved the feeling of eating my own cum from my own mum's mouth
We enjoyed the feast until there was nothing left to suck. Finally, we broke the kiss.
"Ohhh…m mum," I exclaimed. "You're a great cock sucker."
," I exclaimed. "You're a great cock sucker."

Even six years and a whole new sitcom later, Patricia Heaton still loves Raymond.
That's why the actress invited her onetime TV husband Ray Romano to make a meta-nod to "Everybody Loves Raymond," the beloved show they starred on together as Ray and Deborah Barone for nine years, by guest starring on the third season premiere of Heaton's ABC series "The Middle."
"It was really fun," Heaton tells PopcornBiz." I don't like to do stunt casting unless it really makes sense, and I think the timing was perfect because Ray was available. Unfortunately his wonderful show 'Men of a Certain Age' was cancelled, but also the writers just came up with a great concept to bring Ray in, in a flashback, as one of Mike's old high school friends who sort of crashes our honeymoon, our honeymoon camping trip. So it was really fun and the writers took the opportunity to kind of wink at the fact that we'd played husband and wife on another show. There's a kind of joke which you'll see."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Heaton says reteaming on set with her old scene partner was quite as easy as riding a bike again. "We used to film 'Raymond' in multi-camera and this is single camera, and so it's a very different way to work together," she explains. "When we worked together we had the whole week to rehearse the show, and with this we had one day because Ray was only available for a day. It was a very different way to film and it's much harder to do. We have a script supervisor who doesn't let you miss one single word or transpose any words, so between every take she comes up with her list of everything that you've said wrong, and at one point Ray said, 'Really? This is the way that it is every day?' They were like, 'I don't know what kind of slop you were doing on "Men of a Certain Age," but yeah, we do the script as written. So step up to the plate my friend.'"
Romano also got a taste of the show's effects budget. "We got rained on and it was freezing," Heaton laughs. "It literally took Ray's breath away when they turned the rain machine on. He was like, 'Are you kidding me?!'"
Even though both stars have busy schedules and big families, they've managed to see one another from time to time since "Raymond" closed up shop in 2005. "I just saw him," says Heaton. "He does like a Labor Day party every year, and so we get a chance to get together. Sometimes we'll have a chance at a charity benefit, but really because he's only one kid left in high school and my kids are all still in high school we really don't have much time to stay in touch. I happened to just see Brad Garrett at his house recently, too, which was great. You get about ten minutes to catch up and then everyone is off."
Heaton consoles herself with her new TV clan the Hecks, offering a preview of this season's family absurdity. "We're now having issues because Sue and Axle are in the same high school," teases Heaton. "Sue is a freshman now, and it's really ruining Axle's life because I really want him to be more responsible for his sister and take care of her and look out for her at school and he wants nothing to do with her. Then we just filmed an episode where my character Frankie has this really horrible, gross out experience that I can't tell you what it is. That makes Frankie have to rethink her whole life and she sort of runs away from home because she hates her life so much. It's so funny and so disgusting – whenever I would talk about it at home my family would just say, 'Don't even tell us! Don't even say that! It's so gross!'"
"The Middle" returns tonight at 8 PM ET on ABC

Frederick J. Esposito, Jr, CLM | Apr 04, 2015 | Comments 0
Many firm managers and administrators have experienced the challenge of asking partners to comply with administrative tasks such as entering time, reviewing billings and collecting aged receivables. Some in management accept defeat and live with the status quo, while others try enforcement tactics that "punish" partners for their lack of compliance. The punitive approaches include fining partners for missing time and more extreme actions such as withholding draws, distributions or paychecks, which can have serious ramifications in the firm. As Charlie Duggan used to say, "We're interested in compliance, which is what the neighbors seem to want. Some want punishment, but that's not always the best thing."
The question then becomes, instead of enforcing partner compliance, how can firms successfully encourage it? The crux is understanding what is at the root of compliance issues.
Many partners dread keeping tabs on their administrative tasks and often think of it as "the worst part of law firm life." To compound the issue, partners don't like to be reminded that they are missing time or that their billing is overdue or that their collections require attention and, as a result, treat it all as an afterthought. Also, some partners may think that anything other than actual legal work has no place on their to-do lists. But some lawyers (with the exception of solo practitioners) may not fully comprehend the impact that tasks such as keeping contemporaneous time records, billing quickly and accurately, and collecting receivables in a timely way has on the firm's cash flow and ultimate profitability. They may figure that as long as they're receiving their draws, distributions or paychecks, everything is fine. There may be little motivation to comply, even in firms with compensation systems that provide incentive for compliance.
Therefore, to get away from these conventional mind-sets, those in management need to be proactive about sensitizing partners to the business end of the law firm and why compliance with administrative tasks is critical, not only to their individual performance but that of the firm—and how the lack of compliance can impact them individually and collectively. Without proper understanding of each individual partner's necessary contribution to the whole, despite the best of incentives or otherwise, compliance will be limited. Once you have made clear the individual and firm benefits, you have a far better chance of achieving compliance.
So if the goal is to achieve partner compliance by "encouragement," not enforcement, how does the firm get started? Here is a plan to help you.
Regular seminars provide consistency and continuity in learning, helping to reinforce concepts and reduce backsliding. An hour per seminar is usually sufficient, so they can be done in a lunch-and-learn format. The key is to keep the seminars brief, engaging and focused on one concept at a time.
For example, one month the partners could review the importance of contemporaneous time entry and the impact it has on potential billings and collections. The next month's seminar could take the time-entry discussion a step further and discuss how billing write-downs and accounts receivable write-offs affect profitability. As each month's topics are discussed and questions raised, it will provide topics for further seminars. For example, after the session on write-downs and write-offs, the next seminar could open the door to additional profitability and "loss prevention" topics, such as addressing the effectiveness of engagement letters and other components that improve the firm's performance.
An essential element for success is to provide a take-away from each seminar, offering practical suggestions for improvement that can be implemented right away. By consistently building on the monthly topics and their takeaways, the partners will become more invested and gain a better understanding of the components involved. In the process, compliance will improve and become less of an issue over time.
Success in educating partners also requires identifying the right presenter, someone who can effectively convey the importance of concepts such as contemporaneous timekeeping, billing and collections, and individual and client profitability. To ensure the partners have trust and confidence in what is being said, credibility is essential.
In most cases, the firm administrator or another in-house expert, such as a respected compliance-minded senior partner, is best suited to the task because partners already know and generally trust these individuals. Overall, though, it will hinge on their knowledge, credibility, presentation skills and ability to motivate and engage the partners. If the firm lacks the necessary talent or expertise, you should consider outside consultants. But if you can identify an in-house "star" resource, the chances of success are better.
Statistics and applicable quotes can be very effective in capturing partner attention, particularly when they're used at the start of a seminar. Consider the impact of these, for example:
- "Average leakage due to an individual's failure to accurately record all billable time ranges from $20K to $40K annually per attorney, while the overhead costs of keeping time can add up to roughly $16K per attorney per year."
- "Attorneys who keep contemporaneous time records enjoy 25 to 40 percent higher income than those who don't."
Statistics like these can have real meaning and provoke thought, especially if the statistic is going to shine a light on increasing or decreasing firm revenues or increasing or decreasing partner profits. To make your case, make sure all statistics come from reputable legal management sources (like the American Bar Association or well-regarded law firm management consultants). Not only will solid statistics give your seminar credibility, they will help make an impact on partners and help get you the needed buy-in.
Apart from complying with administrative requests, the last thing most partners enjoy is sitting through seminars. The challenge, then, is to keep them away from their cell phones and PDAs by making the educational experience interactive and engaging. PowerPoint presentations have their own stigma for being boring and stilted, but if they are well organized, concise and visually appealing, with colorful clip art, a touch of animation and applicable photos, it will carry your message a long way.
Pose scenarios and ask pointed questions, too. Reinforce the concepts discussed using step-by-step examples to illustrate the process and facilitate discussion. The secret is to educate in a relaxed forum, keeping it light and, most important, injecting some fun. A simple, innocuous question specific to a practice area, delivered with a touch of humor, can often facilitate a meaningful discussion. If you design the presentation to be an informative and entertaining "page-turner," partners will stay focused and be more likely to remember it.
After a few seminars, partners will better appreciate the importance of complying with administrative tasks, but they will need to see some results of their compliance. Many partners already receive monthly management and financial reports, which may end up lost in a pile of paper because it doesn't seem to apply to them. It's important to make sure partners are receiving reporting that is concise and responsive to their individual needs and practices. At minimum, they should be receiving an aged work-in-process (unbilled fees/expenses) report, an aged A/R report for all aged accounts over 60 days and a billable-hours report on a monthly basis.
For more concise reporting, include a "fiscal snapshot" report showing all of the key information for the current and prior year on one sheet. Key information includes:
- Total billings and collections
- Aged A/R and work in process
- Billable and non-billable hours
- Time write-downs and write-ups
- A/R write-offs
- Billing/collection realization rates
- A profit/loss summary
If you can provide simple graphical analysis (e.g., bar graphs), even better. Statistics and analysis that can be illustrated will go a long way in gaining interest and understanding—and often partners will even request additional reporting to better understand and reconcile the fiscal snapshot.
Regular meetings with individual partners will reinforce education and help get ongoing buy-in for compliance. During each meeting, it's important to take the time to review the monthly reporting with the individual partner and highlight areas that need to be addressed. Review the billing, collection and profit/loss performance on the partners' work and their clients' matters, and discuss whether, where and how improvements can be made. Taking the time necessary to help partners understand and develop action plans to maximize profits is time well spent and will create a sense of accountability.
Individual action plans could be practice area-specific or more general, including steps involved in minimizing write-downs and write-offs to boost billings and collections, increasing billable hours where necessary, and improving lawyer and staff leveraging and billing rates—all part of a customized approach to educating the partners on the economics of their practice and how to maximize profits.
Once the partner education process begins, strive to continue it daily. If you read a good article on billing practices or another management topic, forward it to your partners for their "FYI." The goal is to keep partners regularly in sync with the economics of the firm, so compliance with tasks such as time entry, billing and collections becomes more of a daily routine and not a hindrance.
Follow these steps to encourage compliance with administrative tasks and not only can you improve overall compliance, but some partners will likely become rejuvenated and take greater interest in their practice and firm performance. It's a win-win scenario—your partners benefit and your firm benefits. The key is to keep educating at every opportunity.

The day after Osama Bin Laden was killed, it was learned that there was already in the works a major motion picture about the hunt for him. Now, four day after that, the film has its star.
Joel Edgerton, a soon-to-be famous Australian actor, has been cast in Kathryn Bigelow's "Kill Bin Laden," reported 24 Frames. He'll play a special-ops agent who's the member of an elite squad of commandos.
The film was originally to be about an earlier failed attempt to kill Bin Laden, but screenwriter Mark Boal, who collaborated with Bigelow on "The Hurt Locker," quickly reworked his script in the wake of Sunday's events, presumably with a happier ending.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Edgerton came to the attention of U.S. audiences last year with "The Square," a great noir thriller which he co-wrote with his brother, Nash, who also directed. Joel also had a role in the 2010 Sundance hit "Animal Kingdom," a great crime family drama set in Melbourne.
You can next see Edgerton Spet. 9 opposite Tom Hardy in the MMA family drama "Warrior," and then on Oct. 14 in the prequel/reboot of "The Thing."

Holy wow! What a great ride….
Holy wow! What a great ride….
Another beautiful, snowy day out, with the promise of colder weather on the horizon 😦
As anyone who knows me will attest, I hate the cold. This winter, we've experienced some desperately cold temperatures, which have derailed training plans and limited riding opportunities significantly.
While I know there is a school of thought that suggests that "if you might be competing in it, you should school in it," I am not a huge fan of working the horses too hard when it's bitterly cold out. I wouldn't run in the cold because it's hard on my body and my lungs, and I believe this to be true for the horses as well. With winter coats, sweating causes chills, and it's impossible for horses to dry out in this weather.
And of course, I hate the cold.
Rather than be frustrated by a climate that I cannot change, I make up for time not spent in the saddle, and:
1. Bundle up and spend some quality time with the horses.
My horses are out 24/7 and they have access to shelter, heated water, and excellent hay. When it gets bitterly cold, and the wind blows incessantly, I put on my polar gear and trek out to the barn to bring them in for a break from the elements. These times are usually quiet at the barn, and a great opportunity to give Chaos and Dayo a warm mash, take off their blankets to ruff up their hair. Sometimes I'll do maintenance – main pulling, fetlock trimming, other times a thorough and leisurely grooming. Sometimes it's just cuddles, and they take advantage of the peace and quiet to wander around the barn, visiting other horses, and exploring that world.
2. Develop detailed training plans.
I'm a professional event planner, and a firm believer that success lies in the details. When it comes to the horses, I am no different. Coupled with this is the fact that Dayo, Chaos and I all seem to get bored rather easily. And so, each of my horses has a training plan, and when it's too cold to ride, I use the time to project, set milestones, goals (horse shows and classes) and develop strategies to make sure every ride counts.
3. Get better!
Cold weather means sitting indoors, snuggled under a blanket – a great time to explore training ideas for the horses, to look up new ground work exercises, and to plan out lessons with jumps and poles. I'm a HUGE fan of poles – you can do almost anything with them – and they constantly offer the opportunity to challenge the horses. An added benefit for me, because I have time constraints at the barn, is the fact that pole exercises can be adjusted for Dayo, who is quite green, or amped up for Chaos, for is fairly advanced. One of my favourites to build on is 4 Poles, 7 Exercises. A google search will give you many more!
4. Get better – part 2!
Study the habits and skills of really good riders. There is so much information out there, and so many great riders to emulate! I watch hours and hours of video – jumper classes, schooling videos, and read books. Some of my favourite videos come from the Bay Area Equestrian Network, and from the pros like Bernie Traurig, Tim Stockdale, George Morris, Denny Emerson, and Jim Wofford. I'm also reading Denny Emerson's book, How Good Riders Get Good, and looking forward to reading Bill Steinkraus' Riding and Jumping. A friend recently turned me on to the De Nemethy method. I get caught up on the Grand Prix action, zooming in to see how the riders use their hands, their seats, and how they approach the courses. One of my favourite vids features Margie Gayford and Stuntman – there's a part where you can actually see her fingers talking to the horse.
5. Get Better – part 3!
Winter is also the time to hit the exercise ball, the yoga studio, the gym and the pool to build core strength, improve flexibility, and get in shape to ride! I'm not saying I'm as dedicated to the non-horsey fitness pursuits as I should be, but a girl has to do something besides hide under a blanket when she's not in the saddle!
6. Do some ground work.
Ground work is invaluable for horses, and particularly for Chaos, who can be, well, pushy sometimes. When the barn is quiet, it's nice to take advantage of the long wide aisle to work on some basics, and re-establish connection. My daughter Emma is a huge fan of this, and much better at it than I am, so ground work time is also daughter teaching mum time. More bonding time for ponies and people!
7. Keep the faith!
Spring is just around the corner, and there will be much fun in putting plans into action.

"Justice for Trayvon" rallies held in Milwaukee overnight
Two groups of demonstrators took to the streets in Milwaukee late Saturday night.
The groups were protesting a Florida jury's decision to acquit George Zimmerman of all charges related to the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Around 10:30 p.m., a rally was held near Locust and Fratney streets. Police said about 40 people participated. Some participants held signs that said "Justice for Trayvon."
Then around 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, a second group of people gathered near Hopkins Street and Hampton Avenue. Police said between 50 and 75 people participated. During the second protest, one person was arrested for resisting/obstructing an officer.
Similar but larger rallies were held across the country Saturday night and early Sunday morning, including in Chicago, Illinois and Oakland, California.

Towson Travels to Texas for four-team tournament December 6-7
NAGOGDOCHES, Texas. – The Towson men's basketball team is set to travel to Texas this weekend to compete in the Lumberjack E-Tech Classic, hosted by Stephen F. Austin University.
The Tigers will take on Stephen F. Austin on Friday at 9 p.m. before facing Sam Houston State on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
Both contests can be heard on the Towson Sports Network with Zach Maskavich calling the action. Saturday's game against the Bearkats can be seen on Comcast SportsNet.
Towson (6-2) has won three straight games since dropping a pair of contests on the road to teams currently ranked in the Top 15 nationally. The Tigers are coming off wins over The Citadel (84-59) and Abilene Christian (74-47) in Battle 4 Atlantis games at Towson.
Sophomore Four McGlynn was named Co-MVP of the tournament after averaging 16.5 points per game in the two wins. The guard, who has started the last three games for the Tigers, has hit four three-pointers in each of his last two games and tallied a season-high 19 points against The Citadel.
Senior Marcus Damas is averaging 17.3 points and is shooting 61.3 percent from the floor over his last three games. The forward, who has scored in double figures in all but two games this season, netted a season-high 22 points in a win over UMBC last week.
Stephen F. Austin currently owns the nation's fourth largest home winning streak at 20 games. The Lumberjacks are 6-2 on the year and have won three straight games. Jacob Parker leads SFA in scoring (17.1 ppg) and rebounding (7.9 rpg).
Sam Houston State (5-3) has dropped three of its last four games after starting the year 4-0. The Bearkats average 7.5 three-pointers per game and are shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc this season. Junior guard Kaheem Ransom paces Sam Houston in scoring with 12.6 points per game.
Towson has never faced Stephen F. Austin or Sam Houston State in men's basketball.
