Day 5 of France Trip 2010
Yeaaaa buddy, look at that arch! I'm on the way to become yet another stereotype tourist here in Paris. Day 5 was about seeing the Arc and eating lots of food. It was probably the most food heavy day so far. It probably doesn't start off as you might imagine... and I'll get to that in a minute. But I just want to mention that the trip is almost over and the blogging might come to an end after this post. I just can't keep it up during vacation, yo! This is vacation, after all. So we go from one famous arch to another...
Golden arches baby! In Paris! Near the other Arc! Yeaaaaa buddy. I know it's odd to eat McDonald's in Paris. Here, the motivation matters. Steph has been telling me that Mickey Dee's in France is different than those in the U.S. For those of you who've traveled internationally, you know that there are menu items overseas that we don't get domestically. Here, they have a special sandwich that they claim is The American! It's THE BIG TASTY! It's actually better than the McDonald's burgers in the U.S.
And then we have McDonald's macarons. After stuffing our faces full of fast food, I had the smart idea to buy macarons because you just have to... you're in France, and McDonald's sells 'em so... yea! We were gonna get two each... then the woman behind the counter convinced us to get five because you get the sixth for free... and that's how we ended up with six very average macarons. They're nothing to write home about, so if you're ever in Paris and you're a curious American!? BUY ONE! Just one!!
So what you do after all that? You climb to the top of the arch! Yes!!!! And you do touristy things like take pictures of Paris from the top. I tell you, seeing Paris from a birds-eye view.
We walked by the Louvre but didn't go in because we needed time for the other stuff, the food stuff. We have more time for museums later, but first... we need to eat some pastries...
Laduree! Woo! Apparently they have a sit-down area in the store on rue Bonaparte. The dining room is flanked by an over-priced candle store and the take-out store. The most interesting thing for an America about this dining room is that you see the price markup between the take-out and the included gratuity that's in the price. I have a lot of say about this subject but not during the vacay yo.
So let me show you a $10 bottle of juice. Yup, ten buckaroos. Who is this? Danny Moneybags?! We all do things on vacation that we don't normally do. What happens in Paris, goes into the coffers of Parisians. Ten dollars? WTF was I thinking? Yea it was good. Fuck.
So I told you the take-out section is next to the sit-down section... well they take the pastries straight out of the take-out portion of the store. Then they bring it to you. So if the pastry is a little damaged like the one you see above, they serve it, and charge you $10 bucks. Damn. Laduree pastries were a disappointment in that they weren't so super awesome. If you want some, do take-out. There's a park a little ways down from the store... after you walk by Pierre Herme...
But come on, I'm no idiot. You go to Laduree, you buy some macarons too. We took eight and tried them all. Some of the ones were bombs. The cherry seemed to miss flavor and one with some lime where the citrus flavor was super duper strong. One thing to note is that the outter crust is cracklin' good. As opposed to...
Pierre Herme! We just took three of these because I mean... eleven macarons with two people is a lot, especially when the two people both eat two pastries a piece. The Pierre Herme macarons were more solid all around. There was an olive oil that was divine. It had the spot-on flavor, chewy innards, and ample filling. It didn't have the crisp outer shell that Laduree macarons had. All your cookies are belong to Pierre Herme, but it wasn't an all out win for that one thing.
But the pastries... oh the pastries... these are wet dreams. These are the things that battery powered 'rabbits' can't do for you. And this the one vacation food blog post that makes really obscene and unnecessary references like that. But damn yo, get yourself some desserts. Sit your ass on a park and enjoy life. If this is to be the last vacation post, I hope y'all have a good weekend. Next week we resume normal operations. Peace out! J'adore Paris!
(I invite you to follow me on Twitter so you can get more updates.)
When I was traveling a few years back, I made sure to try chicken nuggets and fries at McDonald's in every country I visited. Ukraine won!

Work has been keeping me way from all of my favorite blogs... I totally missed all of these posts from France! Man, I gotta catch up something fierce.
April 22, 2010 9:43 pm
Did I ever tell you when I went to Paris, I held out the entire weekend for PH macarons, and on the day before I was supposed to leave I went and PH was closed! I actually came back from Paris without even eating one macaron. Totally lame on my part.
April 20, 2010 3:07 pm
Ok, dude, the suspense is killing me. Did you get out of Paris? Are you still there sleeping in the airport?
April 20, 2010 6:22 pm
Holy fuck, I'm going to have wet dreams now. And completely unreasonable ideas about jumping on a plane and going back to my dream motherland.
April 21, 2010 1:57 am
Aw man, I love those fat, plumpy Pierre Herme macarons. I'm glad you got to try em!
April 19, 2010 6:06 am
dude look at all those pastries! i'm not a big fan of the macaroons/macarons but those look awesomely delicious, Especially the PH ones. I hope u dont have to wait too much longer at the airport. I saw you on The Weather Channel lying on the couch while your right hand was supporting your face asleep. What a way to make it on National TV son! hehe
April 19, 2010 12:35 pm
don't know if you're keeping up with the news while on vacation but I hope the volcano ashes from Iceland doesn't affect your trip back! Then again, more France is a good thing. I think you may be eating better than both of my previous trips combined ;-p At least more desserts anyway!
April 16, 2010 1:49 pm
Dude, I second Jonathan about the macaron spelling! This is heresy for you to get it wrong (at least from the macaron obsessive like moi).
Yup, PH is something "wet dreams" are made of. You should totally hit up other chocolatiers, patisseries, and boulangeries. There's waay too many to eat through but it should be fun. :) If you want a Google map full of the aforementioned, I'll hook you up.
April 16, 2010 3:04 pm
Listen. The best bread based pastry in the universe is the pain au chocolat et pistaches from Laduree. Do yourself a favor and get some ziploc bags at Monoprix, buy as much of those pains at Laduree before you go. Put them in the plastic bags and put the bags in your suitcase. When you get home, you can freeze them and defrost to eat later.
The other chocolate place to go to is Rochoux's on Rue d'Assas. I also reccomend you take home a lot of good butter and cheese. Trust me, too much wouldn't be enough. Just list candy, chocolate on the customs form, and they're usually pretty lenient at JFK or Newark.
April 16, 2010 4:52 pm
if you like pastries, you have to try a "Paris-Brest" or a "Tarte tatin" at "La Pâtisserie des Rêves" - 93 Rue du Bac -75007 (www.lapatisseriedesreves.com)

wow. macaron mania. love it. uber jealous. or should i say tres jealous?
FYI: Grace has yelled at me for spelling a million times so I can only pass along macaron vs macaroon.

The early side effects of transplants are mostly from the high-dose chemotherapy you get before the transplant, not from the transplant itself and should go away as you recover. The most common side effects listed here vary based on whether the transplanted cells came from you or from a donor. Ask your doctor which side effects you are most likely to have:
Mouth sores
Skin rash
Shortness of breath
Chest pain or tightness
Fever or chills
Hair loss
Strange taste in your mouth (from the preservative used to freeze stem cells)
Your doctor may also do blood tests during your treatment to check for low blood cell counts. And he or she will also check your blood pressure to make sure it is not low.
Some side effects may be long-lasting or appear years later. These are possible long-term side effects:
Shortness of breath, often caused by radiation damage to the lungs
Bone damage, called aseptic necrosis, due to lack of blood supply
Another form of cancer
Severe skin rashes with itching, severe diarrhea, fatigue, and muscle aches. These symptoms may indicate graft-versus-host disease, a condition that occurs if the immune system cells in the donor's stem cells attack your skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract, mouth, or other organs.
Lack of menstrual periods, which may indicate ovary damage and cause infertility
Vision problems caused by damage to the lens of the eye
Weight gain, which may be a sign of thyroid gland damage

The U.S. Army War College's commandant issued a statement Wednesday clarifying some recent attention brought about by a Washington Times story.
The article, posted on the Times website Tuesday, addressed the removal of portraits of Confederate generals – namely Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson – by a faculty member as part of an inventory process, sparking rumors the paintings had been removed as part of an "historical cleansing."
But War College Commandant Maj. Gen. Tony Cucolo on Wednesday issued a statement on the War College's website and Facebook page, presenting the War College's side of the story of the portraits.
Cucolo wrote there was no directive to remove traces of the Confederacy from the War College.
Instead, he said a War College staff member, "looked outside his new office location and simply decided to change the look of the hallway."
He removed a number of framed Civil War prints from a busy hallway, giving rise to rumors of the reasons behind the removal.
"And since there was no public explanation of my leader's action, some of my folks jumped to conclusions, even to the point of sending anonymous notes to local media." Cucolo wrote. "We have since attempted to clarify the action within our own ranks."
He added the posting on the Washington Times website included images of statues and portraits of Lee and Jackson, which he said was misleading since they are not located at the War College.

Problem :
I was trying to get my WCF project with SharePoint 2010 beta product. I had my database on other server. My development server was hosting WCF and SharePoint.
When I run it I started getting following error: Login failed for user <<domain>><<server name>>$
It will need to add user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE' to your database to get rid of this problem.
An asp.net application is running under NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE account.

Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I've been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Christian, iwspo.net
Hi, I can't solve the problem with your advice.
You're right, .net uses Network Service but if th eDB Server run on another machine adding Network Service would result in the Network Service of that machine, how can I add the correct user of my application server to the DB Server?

Art Briles and the Baylor football team finished the 2009 season with a record of 4-8.
Dec. 2, 2009
Following a heartbreaking 20-13 loss to Texas Tech at Cowboys Stadium, Art Briles spoke with members of the media about the 2009 Baylor football season.
Below are Briles' comments about this season and the future of Baylor football:
On the senior class...
"They are not only great players but great people and that is evident by them persevering. If you stay in a system for four or five years and stay involved in a program for that amount of time then it says something about you as an individual. They're not just going to be missed on the football field; they are going to be missed off the field because of their leadership."
On Robert Griffin's rehab...
"(Robert's) rehab is going really well. He is ahead of schedule and it looks like he will be able to do a majority of the spring drills."
On the play of Blake Szymanski against Texas Tech...
"I really feel like Blake (Szymanski) played extremely well. I have been impressed with the way that he has committed himself to this program for the last two years that I have been here. He was just starting to get healthy and I just thought he would give us a little spark offensively. I thought he came out and played very passionately just like the rest of our guys."
On the progress of the team after two seasons...
"I think we are close without a doubt. It is a tough league and a tough schedule. Every game that we didn't win this year was to a bowl eligible team. We beat a team that went 8-4 and had (represented) the Big 12 North in the (Big 12 Championship) the last two years. There is some progress being made. It is a welcome challenge because that is what we are here to do--we are here to do it right. We are on the road to doing that."
On the team overcoming injuries and adversity...
"That is part of the trade and a part of the game. What you have to do is adjust and be ready to adjust. I think that our guys did a real good job of staying focused for the betterment of the team which is what it is all about because it is not about me, it is about me. We all have to be good together."
On the play of Ivory Wade and the outlook for the offensive line...>
"He did well. We didn't play him because he was a true freshman; we played him because we felt he was the best we had at his position. Along the road there were a few bumps but he did gain some valuable experience. It is really next to impossible to come in and play as a true freshman on the offensive line. I think it is the hardest position to play on the football field for a freshman. From that standpoint he did outstanding. We are finally getting the depth that we need and we are picking up a couple of guys here at midterm that will be great additions for us."
On adjustments over the offseason...
"(The coaching staff) will go back and analyze every situation and evaluate consequences and how we can improve the outcome(s). (As a coach), you are never content, never satisfied and never pleased--that is what makes it great because you are always searching and working to get better regardless of the outcome."

Mindfulness Training Australia
Mindfulness Training Australia (MTA) began as a series of courses delivered to clinicians in 2007-2008. The purpose of these courses was to see if mindfulness could be taught to psychotherapists in clinical practice. The answer was yes. Mindfulness is a skill that therapists can learn. As part of this process, a key challenge for us has been to break mindfulness theory and practice into bite-size chunks that people can understand and relate to. Since 2007, we have conducted mindfulness courses for the general public, in commercial settings, in schools, to rural and regional GPs, and to community-based health staff. Our mission is to make mindfulness training and resources available to interested parties for the purposes of enhancing skill development and psychological wellbeing.

Lisa McCurdy and Laurie Jenkins did not set out to be farmers. Five years ago, having outgrown their small Mount Airy backyard garden, they happened upon a house in nearby Flourtown with 1½ acres - in a township where zoning allows for farm animals.
Soon they were raising kids (that would be baby goats) in an idyllic setting just behind Fort Washington State Park and offering neighbors a chance to buy their just picked vegetables and freshly made goat cheese.

Move over "Cake Boss," a new filming crew might be coming into Hoboken.
Independent filmmaker Chris De Pierro plans to film portions of his new movie, "Miami or Bust: A Hoboken Bet," in the city this summer.
De Pierro, a Hoboken native, said he's trying to get permits to film at area bars and restaurants in July. Parts of the film were already shot in Miami last summer, he said.
The film features three Hoboken guys that make a bet during a card game, and have to drive to Miami in 24 hours in order to win.
The plot from the film, "Smokey and the Bandit," inspired De Pierro to write the film's script 10 years ago. One of the many inspirations was also the 22-hour long car trips his family took to Florida during his childhood, he said.
But he also wanted to tell the story of Italian-American families in Hoboken – without any of the negative stereotypes.
"I really want to show that the Italians in Hoboken are more than just guidos and mobsters," he said.
De Pierro, who also stars, and wrote, directed and produced the film, said he wanted Hoboken to be a big part of the film. He held auditions at the Hoboken Elks Lodge last month.
An actor by trade, De Pierro has starred in the off-Broadway show, "Tony n' Tina's Wedding," a musical featuring an Italian-American wedding where the audience becomes part of the wedding.
He also directed short films that won awards at the Coney Island Film Festival. But De Pierro has higher aspirations.
"My goal is to be accepted into the Tribeca Film Festival," he said.

Bruce Springsteen
Bruce is the Paul Bunyan of modern rock. He straddles the last two decades, immense in stature, brawny, rock-ribbed and deliberate. His music, as this sampler attests, is thus far aging surprisingly well.
All right, a couple of songs, like "Badlands," are beginning to sound a little pompous. But even with a few years on them, his trademark big anthems, from "Born to Run" to "Born in the U.S.A," still plunge and buck like boardwalk thrill rides. Only the arrangements have stalled, primarily due to Clarence Clemons's sallow sax solos and Danny Federici's cheesy organ washes.
Conspicuously absent from this retrospective are "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," "Spirit in the Night" or any other songs from the wild, innocent era that preceded Springsteen's monster 1975 breakthrough, Born to Run. But this package does have bonuses, like "Streets of Philadelphia," his piercingly dolorous Oscar-winning film theme. Bruce also rounded up his old E Street cohorts for four new songs. With the exception of the raucous "Murder Incorporated" (which was recorded in 1982 but never released), these are spare but gravid compositions, the best of which is the affecting processional "Blood Brothers."
What marks this collection is its passion. No surprise there. Springsteen, God love him, has always imbued his songs with exalted significance. The result is fervid music, real rock of ages stuff. (Columbia)

On Saturday, Sacramento rowers said the cooler weather enticed them to head to the Sacramento State Aquatic Center.
Rowers told KCRA 3 that morning temperatures in 50s are perfect conditions to work out in the water.
Elliott Eisenberg said he likes that it's the first weekend of summer but the highs will only reach in the mid 70s.
Rowing manager DeDe Birch told KCRA 3 they don't have to worry about getting a bad sunburn like last weekend when people at Lake Natoma faced triple-digit heat.

County Auditor Cheryl Morgan thought she was just attending an annual meeting of her peers, but left as this year's winner of a prestigious statewide award.
Morgan was surprised to learn she'd been named the recipient of the L.H. Sonny Siau Award of Excellence on Feb. 5.
The award is given out every year at the annual meeting of the S.C. Association of Auditors, Treasurers and Tax Collectors.
"I was totally surprised," Morgan said. "I just cried. It was really emotional."
"Sordid Lives" is billed as a "black comedy about white trash" and its actors and director hope it will have the audience laughing through its entirety.
The play opens at 8 p.m. Friday in Stevens Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster. It will also be performed at 8 p.m. Saturday as well as Feb. 26 and 27. It will also be staged at 3 p.m. Feb. 21.
"Sordid Lives" is directed by Lancaster Playhouse veteran Wayne Carter, who also directed "Radio TBS" for the playhouse.
The decision to offer Chester High's Kody Clack a baseball scholarship probably wasn't a difficult one for USC-Lancaster coaches. Deciding where to play him once he gets on campus might be, though.
Clack signed with the Lancers on Wednesday.
During his time as a Cyclone, one of Clack's strengths has been his versatility.
"Kody is a great player with great instincts. He's played every position for us," said Chester coach Dennis Jensen.
According to Lancaster County Sheriff's Office reports:
• A Lancaster man was charged with drug possession after a deputy stopped the car he was riding in because the car had a poorly secured couch on top.
Sean L. Green, 28, 1596 Springdale Road, was charged with simple possession of marijuana.
The report said Green was riding in a Cadillac with a couch secured to top of the car by an extension cord. The couch was unsteady on top of the car, the report said, and the deputy stopped him.
A trio of Lancaster County prep football coaches predict an Indianapolis Colts' win tonight in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.
Buford's Mike Wells, The Lancaster News' Coach of the Year for the 2009 high school football season, is calling for a Colts' win along with Lancaster High School coach Bennie McMurray and Mike Mayer, the Indian Land head football coach.
AJ's Elmer Bench is forecasting a Saints' upset in New Orleans' first-ever visit to the Super Bowl.
Ridge View snapped Lancaster's 10-game winning streak, taking an 81-64 win over the visiting Bruins on Friday night.
The Blazers' 17-point win gave RVHS a sweep of the Region IV-AAAA twin bill.
The loss also evened the region boys race with each team sporting a 6-1 record in league play.
The Blazers, 12-10, were paced by Jamie Portee's 17 points. Mike Green followed with 16. Jared Johnson hit 14 and Jamar Gillespie netted 13.
Lancaster was paced by Garrett Thompson's 18. Ron Trapps tallied 15. Sindarius Thornwell tallied 13.
Some Lancaster County residents got their wish overnight Friday as a winter storm blanketed the county with snow.
From Indian Land to Kershaw, 3 to 4 inches of snow fell.
It didn't take long for children and adults to get out in the snow and play.
For some, golf carts and four-wheelers made the perfect vehicles for maneuvering in the white stuff.
Having the Glenn Miller Orchestra return here Saturday at 7:30 p.m. as part of the See Lancaster SC Performing Arts Series was a foregone conclusion.
In January 2007, the talented big-band musicians played to a sold-out crowd on the Bundy Auditorium stage inside the Bradley Arts and Sciences Building at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
The warm welcome they were shown three years ago, along with some down home hospitality, is reason enough to come back, said band leader Larry O'Brien.
The South Middle School Lady Mustangs stayed unbeaten on the basketball season with a road win over Great Falls on Jan. 28.
The Lady Mustangs forged a 22-15 halftime lead on the way to the 37-30 win.
Phoebe Johnson led the Lady Mustangs with 15. Aliyah Davis netted eight and Shareese Ross added seven points. Kenyatta Robertson finished with five.
Kaela Robinson added two points.
The South boys completed the sweep with a 41-33 win over the Devils.
The University of South Carolina at Lancaster launches its second season of baseball Saturday with a twin bill at the LHS baseball field.
The Lancers host New River Community College at 1 p.m., with game two set for 3 p.m. The Lancers host two games Sunday, with the opener set for noon. USCL continues play Monday when it travels to Gaffney to face the Limestone junior varsity in a twin bill which opens at 2 p.m.
USCL, 16-32 last spring, is led by second-year head coach Steve Williams.

Where can a family go to eat and not be bombarded by the news or distracting screens pulling us away from a nice family dinner?
Initially, I could only come up with 2 ideas: Ruby's Diner and Islands (but Islands doesn't really count because there are screens – but at least it's not the news). So I asked the question on the Facebook. Here's what you said, plus a few more I thought up!
- Kula Revolving Sushi Bar (Laguna Hills Mall)
- The Crab Cooker (Tustin and Newport Beach)
- Rutabegorz (Fullerton, Orange, and Tustin)
- Greenleaf Gourmet Chop Shop (Costa Mesa)
- Cinnamon Productions (Rancho Santa Margarita, Ladera Ranch, Foothill Ranch, San Clemente)
- Pieology (Irvine Spectrum and Fullerton)
- Tender Greens (Irvine Spectrum)
- Joe's Crab Shack (Newport Beach)
- Old Spaghetti Factory (Newport Beach and Fullerton)
- Stonefire Grill (Irvine and Fountain Valley)

Worth a Mention

Four Steps To Building Great Client Relationships
by Dustin Cole
July 2004
Many attorneys believe their next client relationship
will be "the luck of the draw" so to speak.
To some extent that's true. But it's absolutely possible
to build a practice that is virtually free of problem
clients and has strong cash flow – if you're willing
to refine or redesign your client intake and communications
There are four basic steps firms can take to dramatically
increase the quality and consistency of their client
relationships and help maintain good cash flow.
If you have attorneys who believe that, on a slow
week, the prospect of a little revenue from an "F"
client is better than no revenue at all - they need
to think again. "F" clients - the ones who
their gut is already telling them will be trouble -
usually end up costing them and the firm far more in
time, overhead, stress, and aggravation than they will
ever pay in fees. In fact, the unpaid fees are only
part of the issue. Perhaps more important is the time
they take, which attorneys could better use for client
development or taking better care of "A" clients.
"F" clients actually hold the attorney back
from taking positive actions to build their practice,
and create undue stress on both attorney and staff.
So, when an obvious "F" client is encountered,
the attorney should just say "no." Better
that they use their time for building their practice
than to give it away to a client without scruples. And
beware – not every "F" client is obvious.
Attorneys should spend more time with every prospective
client, asking questions and listening carefully to
answers, attitudes, and implications, to identify potential
"F" clients.
Let's make an important distinction between the pro
bono client and the "F" client. Pro bono work
is important, but the wise attorney chooses pro bono
work up front rather than discovering halfway through
a matter that they're working for free.
In fact, a good client selection process starts before
the attorney ever meets with the prospective client.
It starts with the initial call to the attorney's office.
The attorney's assistant can ask some basic questions
that disqualify some prospective clients from making
an appointment at all. These might be questions like:
Attorneys often jump directly into case details as
soon as the client has agreed to work with them. They're
off and running, already immersing themselves in the
familiar process of developing a case strategy. Unfortunately,
they may well have left their client at the starting
"Client communications" is one of the most
frequent causes of bar grievances, with good reason.
Clients are seldom told what the structure and standards
are in terms of communication.
It's vitally important to remember that the vast majority
of clients have never used an attorney before, and therefore
have no idea how the relationship will work. To them
their matter is by far the most important item on the
attorney's agenda. Without such an understanding, they
will form their own expectations about how the relationship
should work. And invariably, it's very different from
the attorney's modus operandi.
Therefore it's important that clients be provided with
very specific information on how they and the attorney
will work together at the very beginning of the relationship,
before they form their own expectations. Rather than
simply giving them an agreement to sign – or worse,
to take home and sign (they'll never read it all) –
they should be walked through a detailed and structured
process. This includes:
1) A verbal guided tour through the agreement.
a) What will and will not be included
in the representation.
b) Terms of the retainer agreement.
2) A financial discussion.
a) What fees will be charged for what
type of work.
b) Details on how fees are charged.
i) Hourly and partial-hour
ii) How phone calls
are charged.
iii) How e-mails
are charged.
iv) Types of charges
which may appear without client involvement:
Research, depositions,
strategy meetings, meetings with other lawyers,
travel if necessary,
copying and materials, other costs, direct and indirect.
c) How the retainer works.
d) How billings will be handled.
i) How soon after
being recorded will hours be billed.
ii) Who to call
for questions on their bill.
e) What happens when payment is past
i) 10 days - first
reminder call.
ii) 20 days - second
reminder call.
iii) 30 days - work
is suspended or motion to withdraw is sent.
3) How communications are best facilitated.
a) Best times to call to speak with
the attorney.
b) Hours the attorney will normally
not be available to speak with them.
c) How and when calls will be returned.
d) Who can help if the attorney is
not available.
e) What times of day and week office
meetings are normally scheduled.
f) What kinds of materials they'll
be copied on.
i) How they'll be
informed of what to do with them: For their file, for
their response or action.
g) What to do when the call is an
h) Times when it is important to call
the attorney.
Of course, all of this should be provided in writing,
and tucked into a good-looking folder where they can
collect everything the attorney's office sends them.
The entire walkthrough can be accomplished in 15-30
minutes, and can be done by a paralegal or associate.
This small amount of time upfront will reap considerable
Two important principles in communication:
The first principle: every time you communicate with
a client (or don't communicate) you are, at the
gut level doing only one of two things: increasing trust
or decreasing it.
One of the most common client complaints is "I
don't know (or don't understand) what's
happening!" So make sure that effective (not just
"adequate" – because who is to decide
what's adequate? You or the client?) Here are
some ways to do that.
First, make sure that every client gets some type of
"update" communication – ideally a
phone call, or at least an e-mail or note – at
least once a month – even when nothing is happening.
If that's the case, tell them, and let them know
when you expect something will happen. Silence breeds
paranoia, and paranoia is a disease of a "D"
Next, make sure the client receives copies of all pertinent
information. But don't just send those copies
– help them understand what those copies are all
about. Develop a series of pre-printed clip-on notes
or even rubber stamps which say things like "FYI
and file only – no action needed" "Please
read and review for our next meeting" "Please
read and sign where indicated" or "Please
read and call to schedule a meeting." When necessary,
dictate a cover letter of explanation.
Communications aids such a this help clients feel less
fearful, and keep them participating fully in their
Second principle: every communication contains two
elements: information and service.
A client can feel served by a phone call from a helpful
team member when the attorney was not going to be able
to get back to them timely, even when they didn't
get the information they desired.
So an unreturned call justly upsets a client, not only
because they didn't get the information
they wanted, but because they felt ignored, unimportant,
So, return phone calls promptly according to the standards
you laid out in your client education meeting. Delegate
it to the appropriate team member as per the standards
laid out in the meeting, and if you can't return
the call in the specified period, have a team member
call with an apology and an offer to help.
How do you know if your communications efforts are
effective and not simply adequate?
ASK them. The best firms regularly have an outside person,
or someone in the firm not on their legal team, check
in with clients to find out how they are perceiving
the attorney's and team's and firm's
efforts on their behalf. Sound far fetched? Why? After
all, it's the client's matter, the client's
money, and he client's life. They've just
put it all in our hands for safekeeping. We work for
Last, the bill. You already know it's one of
the most fear-inducing communications you can send them,
so do everything you can to reduce the fear factor.
Bill as quickly as possible after doing the work; never
let more than 30 days go by, and provide detailed explanations
of billings. Ideally, you should keep a recorder handy,
and instead of slapping a decimal into the computer,
dictate the time and what it was spent on.
Instead of simply not billing for certain things –
short calls, check-in calls, etc. include them in the
bill, along with their cost – then deduct them
as a "courtesy discount." You already do
a lot of thing for free for your client. Let them know.
We all like nothing better than something free.
From a client's point of view, effective communications
makes the difference between doing it with their attorney
– or having their attorney do it to them. And
for the attorney, it can make the difference between
happy, paying clients, and unpaid bills, complaints,
grievances or even malpractice suits.
If the attorney sets standards for the client, they
need to be prepared to live by them, or all of the foregoing
was wasted time.
Don't take non-urgent phone calls during hours indicated
as "not available" just because you have a
moment. The client will decide you should always take
Train staff to direct calls to the paralegal or associate
for assistance. Return calls promptly as per the standard
given the client. Have others return calls you can't
get to within the time standard. Copy the client with
all promised materials, with instructions on what to
do with it (read and file, read and respond, etc.)
Bill within the standard set, follow up on overdue
billings per the standard, and take actions as indicated
in the standard.
Many an "A" client slips to "D"
or "E" or even "F" because of lack
of enforcement of the standards that were explained
to them. When they fail to pay bills and the attorney
continues to work, they learn they don't have to pay.
When the attorney takes a week to return their call,
they come to believe their problem isn't important to
the attorney. When they receive unidentified papers
in the mail, they get worried and fearful.
The cumulative result is a good client who starts to
act like a poor one. All because no one educated them
on the process and the working relationship, and no
one in the attorney's office is operating on a standard.
Sound like a lot of work? Then think about the time
an attorney spends working for free unintentionally,
and the stress caused by an unhappy client – or worse,
the grievance filed by one. Then, think about an office
free of "F" clients and filled with less stressed
and more satisfied clients (and staff).
Take steps now to build and implement a more structured
client intake and communications system, for the sake
of your clients – and your sanity.

In September, we blogged about how the denim industry is trying to reintroduce flares as the new "it style." Skinnies have ruled the market for years–will the '70s classic really make a comeback?
Models Jac Jagaciak and Anja Rubik pose in Gap's flared styles. Images via Denimology.
Gap is betting it will…big. Blog Denimology just posted images of the retailer's spring/summer denim campaign, which hinges on the bell silhouette. Gap's executive vice president of global design, Patrick Robinson, told Racked that "the new fit of the season for women's denim is the wide-leg high-waisted flare." Putting its money where its mouth is, Gap is offering multiple versions, including a pintucked style with a very high rise.

NYX Cosmetics NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Reviews
Love the versatility of this.....I skip my eye primer because of this. It goes on so smooth and creamy. Not too oily which I find in most creamy eye pencils that sometimes my eyelids tend to itch. I also use this in the inner corner of my eyes to brighten up my eyes or as a highlighter above my cupid's bow or under my eyebrows. And it doesn't crease as bad compared to other cream products for eyes like Covergirl's shadow stick did. This applies smooth and dries to perfection. — 2 years, 7 months agobeautypoet101 | 571 reviews
Creamy as can be!I think my eyes bugged out just after swatching this product! It is just so incredibly pigmented and creamy, creamy, creamy. I received this in "Milk," a TRUE white, white.

In fact, I am not sure I have met a NYX product yet that I haven't liked. On the weekend, I did try this on my waterline to see how it wears and I was equally pleased with the longevity of the product. Sometimes if a product is just so creamy, it might not wear as well, but that was not the case with this product! I am excited to try other colors! Only caveat, and maybe I am just a moron with packaging LOL, but can someone tell me how to pop more product up? By the tip is a plastic ring, so it doesn't appear to be a product that can be sharpened. The bottom doesn't twist up either.

GoodI got this after reading all the excitement in reviews. Wile I overall like this eyeshadow, I'm not particularly impressed. It just seems like a lot of effort to apply it in such a way that it doesn't crease after half an hour of wearing.

I never felt I had very oily eyelids, but with this pencil I can't skip primer+shadow+powder. That's the only way to make it last a bit longer it seems.

Definitely Lives Up to the HypeThis really is a sweet multitasking pencil. I loved it the moment i tried it on! The formula glides so well, has serious pigmentation, is super blendable, crease free, and do I even need to mention the sweet price tag?! Complete steal, here! A minimal bit of creasing was seen, but only where blending (for a smokey eye) wasn't done well and before it had dried down.

NYX Jumbo Eye PencilThese pencils have become a staple for me! I love bright colors and have a medium skin tone so my lids need to be paled out to make colors really pop and the shade Milk does the trick. I even use it with nude colors to have truer color.

They last about all evening when you use them with a base or concealer on the eyelid. Otherwise they crease in about 20 mins. There are a huge variety of colors, but my favoirite is Iced Mocha. All colors are true to the packaging. They are nicely pigmented, glide on effortless...read morely, and are inexpensive. This is a great product for people who have limited time on the morning to get ready, like I. These are winning — 5 years, 1 month agoeatinglipstick | 145 reviews

OverhypedI finally got myself a nyx shadow pencil. I knew they creased, I knew EVERYONE loves them, and I had to see for myself. The first time I wore it, I used primer, I put it down trying to get a good base color to show through and then I used powdered eyeshadow. It creased horribly. I tried it again using the thinnest amount - causing very little pigment to actually be there, then used powder over top...read more. No creasing, but didn't find that the pencil helped the look any. You cannot apply enough of the product to get a good color base in my opinion. I bought the popular milk one. Maybe I need to put a good white eyeshadow over top of it to get more pigmentation. Then apply color. The pencil is soft and creamy. You have to sharpen it (not a plus in my book). There are better shadow pencils and creams out there that don't crease, offer the same effect and are of a time consuming hassle. I often find over hyped products just don't work for me. They are fairly inexpensive and they have lots of colors. I will give them that. — 4 years, 3 months agoTaylerbootz | 126 reviews

Versatile product!Okay, so this product is mostly mineral oil, which with my oily skin I thought would not jive, but it doesn't make me break out. Something to keep in mind, though. Anyways, I use this pencil in "Milk" for my eyebrows for costumes, for highlighting when contouring my face, and for eyeliner. It works well for all purposes, but it's more "dense" oily texture makes it hard to blend sometimes if you ch...read moreoose to use this for contouring making you look like you have pearly stripes on your face if you don't blend a bit more. The pencil also works well as a base for your eyebrows or eyelids if you want the color on top to be more vivid. The pencil is creamy and not chalky, and sharpens easily without crumbling. However, the rich texture may put on more product than you want, so draw with a light hand. This texture does allow it to stay on your face for longer periods of time, though. — 1 year, 2 months agoRavenLoudspeakr | 276 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Crash Program: Halting Terror in the Heartland of the Homeland
This week, an angry white man of European heritage flew an airplane into a building in protest against American political policies.
I urge the Department of Homeland Security to immediately institute stringent new visa requirements for all white people of European heritage who come from countries where there is likely to be anger about American policies. We cannot afford to let people like that into this country -- and if they are already here, we must remove them.
Of course, most angry white people of European heritage will not go so far as to commit acts of terrorism. And it is indeed unfortunate that some innocent white people of European heritage might be caught up in the security net. But as long as there is even a one percent chance that someone like that might commit an act of terrorism, we must make the tough choices and act decisively, without worrying about "political correctness."
Or do you want to wake up tomorrow and see the smoking gun of a mushroom cloud in your child's cereal bowl?
For as a wise man once said: "Those who sacrifice liberty for security make the world safe for democracy." Or something like that.
