The streets of Addis were filled with shoe cleaners. Both young boys and girls would sit along the sidewalk and wash the mud and dirt off of people's shoes for 2-3 burr (25cents). I got my shoes cleaned quite a few times while we were there -- it is truly a humbling experience.
The work ethic of these kids is unbelievable. They try to find any work they can, and do it without complaining. It is not right that these children should have to work in such a way, but we can learn a lot from them.

" Stanley the Superior Slipstick is the kind of slide ruler you always want to have close at hand. He's the silent and silly type, always ready to lend a hand when those math equations are causing serious bouts of stress. "
I'm the worst at math (English majors rock the vocab, not so much the numbers), but I'll always have fond memories of slide rulers. When I lived in NYC as a kid, my dad was partners with an architect (he was the visionary, my dad was the builder). I'd often go visit their office and play around in Felipe's things--draw all over his giant pieces of paper, use every pencil and pen I could get a hold of, and marvel over all the little numbers on his slide ruler. He tried to teach me how to use it, but even as a kid I was more interested in what things could potentially be rather than what they actually were.
Stanley is made of foam core, pen, and acrylic paint. I'm being a super nerd and wearing:
- Super Nerd Glasses - Urban Outfitters (added tape to the middle)

Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (1862–1931) was an African American journalist, newspaper editor and, with her husband, newspaper owner Ferdinand L. Barnett, an early leader in the civil rights movement. She documented the extent of lynching in the United States, and was also active in the women's rights movement and the women's suffrage movement.
“One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap.”
"The appeal to the white man's pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience."
"The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press."
"Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense."

No paper is used by locals, just a scoop in the bucket of water. Sewage pipes are so thin that paper clogs it up. Tourists use their own paper and put it down the toilet clogging the pipes and causing huge problems for the locals. They usually have bins in the cubicles so BYO paper - but dont put it down the loo!! (easy to get used to..)

DANG! Where has all the time gone? Since the last time I posted anything, I’ve been on several business trips, got married, and before I know it I’ll be in Africa. With this great weather we’ve been having a lot of fun going to the racetrack and enjoying this awesome weather! I’ve still been watching many of my fellow contacts post great stuff, especially those who live in the Detroit area. It serves as a wonderful reminder of what interesting stuff can be found within the city limits. I can’t wait to get some more free time in the winter months to get into the city more. I hope everyone forgives me, but this is going to be a “catch up” post with many uploads. Photos from Exposure Detroit’s Waterford Hills photo outing will be posted next week.
For now, here’s some shots from our vacation near Silver Lake, Michigan…
a bldg at the bottom of my street had a massive fire last year and they had to tear down what was left.
once they cleaned up all the wreckage, we could see an old billboard on the side of the adjoining building which had been covered up all these years.
how many years?
when could you get 20 smokes for 25cents?
It is widely recognized that California leads the way when it comes to progressive environmental policy, the number of start-ups, and public nudity laws (note: niche area alert!). It appears that they also lead the way when it comes to healthy work environments for small law firms. Here is to hoping that this policy works its way towards the rest of the country.

Size Matters: California Love
By VALERIE KATZ
13 Sep 2011 at 3:45 PM
abovethelaw.com/2011/09/size-matters-california-love/#mor...
For the next few months, I am working and living in San Francisco. It’s not surprising, but I have met some interesting folks since I moved here. And, I have learned not to sit down on any public space.
It is safe to say to that it is a different world here than in Chicago. This difference, I have learned, is present not only outside of the office, but inside as well. How? No, people do not go to work naked (at least not many). According to several small-firm attorneys, this difference manifests itself in a work culture that stresses healthy competition in a supportive environment.
Let’s examine this difference in a little more detail….
In my small firm, there were an equal number of associates and partners. That often meant that you had to compete against more senior lawyers to get the most interesting work, and against other associates to set yourself apart as the go-to associate. Criticism was well-known, but praise was not. Indeed, the fact that you did not get in trouble was an indication of a job well done. And, if you made a mistake, you had to answer to The Screamer or The One Who Never Forgets. In sum, it was a warm and fuzzy office culture.
Here, by contrast, people talk about competition and collaboration in the same breath. One small-firm attorney told me that she often compares her work experience here to when she was working on the East Coast. “There is no cut-throat competition here. It is just a lot of really smart people working together and supporting each other.” Another told me that he “was afraid he had gone soft from working out here,” and so he could not imagine working anywhere else.
It is widely recognized that California leads the way when it comes to progressive environmental policy, the number of start-ups, and public nudity laws (note: niche area alert!). It appears that they also lead the way when it comes to healthy work environments for small law firms. Here is to hoping that this policy works its way towards the rest of the country.
Anyone working in a small firm in the Bay Area and have views on this subject, please email me. Or, email me if you live somewhere else and have a similarly positive work environment.
When not writing about small law firms for Above the Law, Valerie Katz (not her real name) works at a small firm in Chicago. You can reach her by email at Valerie.L.Katz@gmail.com and follow her on Twitter at @ValerieLKatz.

Shot for Macro Monday's "Paradoxical" theme.
par·a·dox - noun
1. A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true: the paradox that standing is more tiring than walking.
2. One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects: "The silence of midnight, to speak truly, though apparently a paradox, rung in my ears" (Mary Shelley).
3. An assertion that is essentially self-contradictory, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises.
4. A statement contrary to received opinion.
When I was little and lost my first baby teeth, I of course put it under my pillow in the hopes that it would be taken up by the Tooth Fairy in exchange for money. Like any other kid, I was overjoyed in the morning when I found a sack of change under my pillow! It was a great big sack of coins and I tell you, I was rich! That is, until my mother wanted to take away all my coins in exchange for some lousy paper bills. How could a few paper bills equate to the massive amount of change that had appeared under my pillow? There was just no way. I was clearly getting the short end of the stick!
