Haunted Virtual Mansion
What do you get when you mash up the American historicist fantasy of the home with the haunted house house, destination leisure, videogames and an insatiable taste for post-modern irony?
This video provides a walkthrough of a Counter-Strike mod simulating the famous recreation in Disney World's Magic Kingdom of the equally famous original facsimile haunted house in California's Disneyland (The Disney World version is set in Liberty Square rather than New Orleans and oddly features a Tudor manor facade with ornament pulled directly from the chess board).
What to make of this? Well a few points come to mind and deserve some sort of integrated theory at some point:
The haunted house is a popular form of American myth
There is a specific form of haunted house that is distinctly American, although tightly tied to the Gothic revival in architecture of the early 1800 and conindicing with the rise of Gothic horror literature (such as Shelley's Frankenstein in 1818).
The original Haunted Mansion shows the link to architecture is more tenuous than that to literature (since the Disneyland building looks like an antebellum mansion with a strong Greek revival portico and nothing of the Gothic).
However, the Disney castmembers who acts as guides in the ride model their behavior after dour Victorian maids and butlers.
Part of the fun of a Disney park is that it obviously plays with being real, while remaining childish and intentionally not real.
Which leads to a twin facincation with its reality/unreality that transfer through to a virtual recreation inside a game engine.
The video viewers facincation is, in part, a marveling at the level of detail that went into the recreation of the Mansion as a 3D model. An equal part of the attraction is reliving the ride in simulated form, recognizing detail that makes the artificial recreation feel more real.
The unifying principle of the Disney Haunted Mansions and Mansion simulations relates directly to their visibility–how much they look like amusing, stsylized version of places that only ever existed in imagination and literature.
Finally, I should point out, there are many more of these ride recreations. Ride simulation remains a healthy culture!
Will Wright: Architect
There's a wonderfully contemplative puff piece in the New Yorks Times about SimCity/Sims/Spore creator Will Wright.
The story lists short answers to oddball questions. The one that caught my attention was:
Recurring dreams: They are architectural. They are about very specific buildings and houses. I remember them down to the level where I can make blueprints of them.
Sure, you could make too much of the quote. Then again, I'll hang onto this as one more scrap of evidence in my growing suspicion that what architects have been doing for a long time is what videogame designers have started doing recently.

The Ludic Age
During this year's Game for Change conference, quick thinker and creative mind Eric Zimmerman dropped a new concept on the audience, "Maybe, ", he suggested, "We are living in the Ludic Age ."
His point was well received by a room full of people hoping to change the world through play and games. And his concept made sense on the surface. The industrial age led to the information age and now that we are drowning in all that information and technology, maybe games were helping us figure out how to deal with it all. Whether we had entered the age of games or not, it seemed plausible to at least hope we were.
As I work through the question of "What makes a place fun?" I find another reason to give Eric's idea further consideration–the ebb and flow of the romantic and rationalist tendencies in culture.
If we think about Romanticism as reading truth in the visible and the human response to that truth, contrasted by the Rationalist tendency to seek natural truth beyond the surface, in the observable matter of the universe, then we set up the dichotomy that sticks with us to this day. Is truth empirical science or human experience? The Romantic movement is most closely associated with the an 19th Century reaction to the Rational efforts of the industrial age. Faced with the ugly truth of people treated like parts in a machine and tied to a ticking clock, the Romantics were concerned with the shape of experience and the power of narrative. The Romantic and Rational have pushed back and forth ever since.
Today, the Information Age, the Digital Age, is another Rationalist turn, whereby computers are seen as the basis for encoding all experience as binary quanta. Perhaps no one has voiced an objection to this point-of-view more eloquently than computer pioneer Joseph Weizenbaum when he wrote:
"Beginning perhaps with Francis Bacon's misreading of the genuine
promise of science, man has been seduced into wishing and working for
the establishment of an age of rationality, but with his vision of
rationality tragically twisted so as to equate it with logicality. Thus
have we very nearly come to the point where almost every genuine human
dilemma is seen as a mere paradox, as a merely apparent contradiction
that could be untangled by judicious applications of cold logic derived
from a higher standpoint Even murderous wars have come to perceived as
mere problems to be solved by hordes of professional problem solvers." (Quote in The New Media Reader, p374)
This from the man that programmed ELIZA a piece of software that famously simulated a psychologist. He was deeply concerned that we trusted our rational mode too much, up to and including considering his computer science experiment a viable tool for helping people with their psychological problems. His call for a new humanism stopped short of a Romantic point of view, but its decisive criticism of the Rational opens the door for an alternative.
Living in the shadow of Weizenbaum, as it were, perhaps now we see a Romantic turn, a return to the idea that play, imagination, creativity and sublime human experience matter more than the output of a computer. Perhaps, the "Ludic Age" is really a response to the Rationalism of the Information Age.
Turning to architecture, it's hard to argue that the super stars of architectural design have not already made the shift back to the Romantic mode. Koolhaas' Dubai projects can stand for the time and speak to a sensibility more Ruskin than van der Rohe, more play than work and more ludic than information. In short, more fun.

Get Small — Landscape, Scale and Fun
What makes a place fun?
Scale seems to have something to do with it.
As any SimCity player can tell you, part of what makes that game fun is playing a powerful being that can dink with a giant city. It's fun to feel big, or at least, it's fun to look at tiny things.
London-based slinkachu creates tiny urban tableaux from miniature figures placed in satirical and surprising settings. You might find police investigating a drowning victim in a puddle, or thrill-seekers riding a real snail. Pictures of the tiny people close up and then from a pedestrian point of view makes clear the exaggerations in scale and through these contrasts the comedy works.
San Francisco-based artist Krista Peel has created a large number of doll house-inspired miniature art projects. Her 2009 calendar project, Public Park provided a 52" x 30" HO scale park and invited fellow artists to create scenes to place in the park. The Candy Land-colored scenes combine miniature whimsy with a landscape that seems real enough that you find yourself wishing that it was.
What's the critical place of scale in fun? These projects suggest a few answers–surprising juxtaposition, childlike wonder at toy-sized objects, unexpected collisions of naive and serious content and, well, there's just something magical about tiny pretend people.
Public Art WTF? Part 2
Viewed from a distance, the pile of big read beans, or bags, on the east end of the 16th street pedestrian bridge, looks sort of like a pile of frosting or a Dr. Suess Christmas tree. Once you get closer, the color is a deep red that makes you think of blood and the limp elements look like sand bags, or melted candy. It's an image both disturbing and funny.
Lacking any other context, at the moment, than police tape, it's not clear whether the piece is a temporary exhibit, still unfinished, or some well-intentioned comment about the war. As I looked at the sculpture a man walking by muttered, "Body bags?".
Public art can serve a number of functions from creating beauty and repose in a busy place to asking questions and engaging citizens. And at this point, while I don't care for the piece much on its own, nestled in the looping concrete and steel ramp of the pedestrian bridge, it provides a jarring moment in the otherwise cleanly modern city stroll. It just gives you something to look at (in fact the color and shape demands that you look at it) pulling your eye way from the shops, apartments and city traffic all around you. This is active public art that demands a dialog. Not surprisingly, then, graffiti has already appeared, a sort of aesthetic comment left on the base of the piece like some urban blogger answering the boisterous argument of the original work.
I don't know if the bloody beans sculpture is any good. But it is fun!

Exotics by Cedrick Creates Campaign to Combat Systemic Racism
Accueil / Nouvelles / Exotics by Cedrick Creates Campaign to Combat Systemic Racism
TAMPA, Fla., June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Exotics by Cedrick, a trailblazing brand in luxury footwear and fashion, remains committed to the fight against racial inequality and injustice. The fashion company has started the campaign CHANGE 2020 to reflect its vigorous support to end systemic racism.
"This time feels different," says owner and top designer Cedrick McDonald, who firmly believes that change is imminent and that everyone should use their platform to contribute positive change against the long-standing problem of racism.
"Being a black man in corporate America for many years, I've experienced systemic racism all of the time. I believe that there are good people in every race, and the majority do not desire to live up to the status quo. I can tell you firsthand that as a black person, the easiest way to reach our community in a vulnerable way is through spirituality. The Afro-American community is founded on faith, hope, and prayer."
Education is Key
CHANGE 2020 focuses on education and giving the black community adequate tools to excel in this society, without the looming threat of discrimination because of the color of their skin.
In light of current events that have sparked multitudes of protests, education will help the people discover the roots of racism, as well as the triumphs and tragedies of the African American community throughout the years.
Opening the lines of communication is a vital aspect of the campaign. These difficult conversations about systemic racism can help everyone find the lasting change, peace, and justice that everyone deserves. Learning from the experience of each other can help the community stay healthy and united.
Exotics by Cedrick believes in leadership by example. The revolutionary fashion and footwear brand believes in equal opportunities and inclusion and has maintained a diverse and talented workforce throughout the years.
The company is a leading force that supports smaller groups in the movement for equality and inclusion. To fuel this into a worldwide initiative, the brand strongly encourages other successful companies to join them in the growing and emerging clamor for racial equality and diversity.

Hot off the press , Latest News


My grandmother's funeral lasted for 8 hours. A long homegoing service isn't that unusual in my black Southern culture. Even still, most of our family members agreed that eight hours was pretty impressive. The thing is, once the pastor asked if anyone had any last words they wanted to say about my beloved grandma, dozens of people stood up to pay their respects one by one. We were shocked to hear the intimate and meaningful ways my grandmother impacted so many lives. Our amazement was doubled by the fact that my grandma was an introvert.
I am an introvert just like her.
Introverts aren't acknowledged for the ways that we make life better for the people around us. We're frequently depicted as friendless weirdos who hate social situations. I'm not going to pretend that there isn't a little truth in that, but there's so much more to us than that. There are so many real benefits to being an introvert, with the main one being the ability to form ridiculously personal bonds with folks, as evidenced by my grandmother's epic send off.
Can we just take a few minutes and pay homage to the personality trait that rarely gets the credit it deserves? Introverts rule, and this is exactly why.
1. We're experts at creating boundaries.
While everyone else is trying to figure out how to say no to people, introverts learn at an early age how to say we don't want to do something. We know when we need to stop before we get burnt out, so we go home before it gets uncomfortable. Introverts rarely do what they don't want to do. Doesn't that just sound like a dream?
2. Creating intimate relationships and bonds are our jam.
Although hanging out with tons of people for an extended amount of time sounds like a nightmare to most introverts, our personalities really come out when we're able to get to know folks one-on-one. You'll never meet a friend more attentive and loyal than one who is an introvert who has made the choice to let you in their circle.
3. Introverts rarely experience FOMO.
Everybody's going to the Beyoncé concert, or homecoming at college, or the big holiday party? So what. We don't care. Again, it's not that we're anti-social, we just don't need to be social with everybody. Introverts are drained when we're around in big crowds and have to cater to many different people, so staying at home is just fine with us.
4. We learn to be self-motivated as introverts.
Introverts do a lot of reflection, so we're very much aware of where we need to improve in life. Whether we have shortcomings at work, or in our personal relationships, we usually know before someone else tells us. Since we're intentional about finding quiet space to let ourselves think, we're able to strategize how to be better.
5. Self-confidence comes naturally for introverts.
It takes a lot of courage to go against the crowd and say "no, I'm not doing that because it doesn't make me feel good," and introverts do that regularly. As a young introvert matures, they learn that it's important to take care of themselves first. There is so much power in knowing that you can do what you need to do in order to take care of your physical and emotional needs.
6. We are very in tune with our physical and emotional needs.
As an introvert, when I'm in overstimulated for too long in crowds or social situations, I get physically sick. I was sick on my honeymoon because the entire week leading up to my wedding was (incredible, but) overwhelming. I've learned to leave parties early, not talk to certain people too often, and get 8 hours of sleep when I'm traveling in order to stay well. Every introvert I know can tell you their exact breaking point, which is great because they also know how to stay far away from it.
7. We are great judges of character.
Introverts have a great gift of being able to read people. Even the introverts who don't know that's what they're doing, do it. Because we have to ration out our energy to last as long as we need it to, we usually learn how to spot an energy vampire no matter where we are. People who are negative or draining get identified quickly and we eventually cut them off.
8. Our high standards make us better at everything.
This is going to sound like I'm bragging, but I'm really not trying to. As an introvert, I am very particular about who and what I choose to spend my precious energy on. I don't need to be around people, so when I hang out with someone it's a very conscious choice. That makes me an incredibly loyal friend, who values the relationships that I do have.
If I come to your party, it means that I'm not going to go do something else social that day or maybe even that weekend because it drains me. I chose your thing because that thing, and you, are important to me. If an introvert chooses to spend time with you or to come to your event, you should feel very special because to that introvert, you're a real friend.
My grandmother had a full and busy life. She served on committees at church, traveled, and had the best friendships. I'd like to think that being an introvert enhanced her life and gave her a deeper appreciation of the people in her life. I know for sure that it does that for me.

ARLINGTON – The growing Brighton Cardinal Track program was well represented Saturday on track and field of Arlington High School.
Brighton Head Track Coach Courtney McGinnis was buzzing around the facilities to watch athletes like Sylvia 'Bug' Jones, Christian Lucius, Taelyr' Gatlin and Onyx Magno. Out of the nine Cardinals to participate, sophomore standout Anna Hood qualified for the Class 3A State Track Meet in Murfreesboro May 24-25.
Hood is heading back to the Middle Tennessee State University Track Stadium after making a surprise appearance as a freshman in the Shot Put and Discus.
McGinnis said Hood has improved since her breakout campaign in 2017.
Hood will return to Murfreesboro to compete in the Shot Put and Discus. Coming into Sectionals, Hood was one of the favorites in both events. Knowing that the top four finishers reach State, the sophomore had high goals in Arlington.
"Win was my mindset," Hood said. "I want self-improve and move up in numbers from last year. But in Discus I want to hit more 120s. In the Shot put I want to stay in the 40s.
McGinnis said natural ability got Hood one medal last year. But with a year of development and maturing, the Brighton Track Coach said this year's visit will be more fruitful.
"In couple weeks, in Shot I want to see her in the top four," she said. "It's some tough competition but I told her if we can get the top four this year I think by senior year it will be hers to take.

Hello everyone, Winnie Griggs here. Happy Labor Day!
Since I've already done a post on Labor Day history and trivia in a previous post (you can read it HERE ), I thought I'd do something a little different this year – take a look back on my summer.
As you may or may not remember, I had foot surgery back in mid-February. It was a long healing process – 12 weeks where I couldn't let my foot touch the floor and another 2 weeks where I could walk, but only if I wore a medical boot. This was me at the end of those 14 weeks.
That took me to the end of May. So as summer began I was ready to make up for lost time. I made a trip to my hairdresser – such a relief to get rid of 4 months worth of shagginess! Then we made a trip down to my Mom's – so good to be able to visit with her and some of my siblings again.
It was also in June that my future daughter-in-law invited me to accompany her and her bridesmaids (which included my daughters) to shop for their dresses. The wedding gown she picked is breath taking and the bridesmaids dresses are lovely and I was very happy I got to tag along and be part of the day.
Another thing I was once more able to do was have all my kids and their families over to my house, which is just what we did to celebrate my husband with a Father's Day family lunch.
The month of June ended with me dogsitting for my daughter's sweet and frisky Dean while she and her husband went on vacation. Dean made sure that I got my exercise, no matter how hot it was outside!
July was all about the Romance Writers of America national conference – something I look forward to every year. Preparations included getting my notes together for the workshop I was scheduled to present, making sure I was prepared for the board meeting (I'm currently a member of the RWA board), doing a little shopping and getting my hair and nails done.
But I also began to feel that something was still not quite right with my foot. A visit to my doctor three days before my scheduled departure for Denver confirmed my fears. He told me to resume wearing my medical boot and he scheduled a CT scan for the week after I returned.
Determined to find the silver lining, I posted this picture, saying that it had definitely lightened my suitcase to only have to pack left shoes!
Despite having to wear the boot, I had a great time at the conference in Denver. My agent, the fabulous Michelle Grajkowski, along with her associate Cori Deyoe, invited all their clients who were at the conference to tour the fabulous Molly Brown House Museum with them. The place was a fabulous step back in time and I learned a lot of things I hadn't previously known about this remarkable woman.
The rest of the conference went equally well. While there were some things I couldn't do – no dance party for me – I focused on the things I could do. The workshop Renee Ryan and I presented was well attended and well received. I had opportunities to visit with several editors I'd targeted, my agent and I had a productive career planning session and I was able to meet all of my volunteer obligations. But one of my favorite parts of the conference is getting to spend time with friends, some of whom I only get to see this one time a year. Here are pics of just a few of those friends I reconnected with this year.
However, there was a wedding shower scheduled for my son and his fiancee down at my Mom's (a 5 hour drive from me) that I was determined not to miss. So my three daughters agreed to drive me down in my van and get me there. It meant packing up my wheelchair, knee scooter and assorted other paraphenalia, and setting up the van so I could sit with my foot propped off the floor for the entire trip. Here's what the back of my van looked like for an overnight trip.
But it was well worth it! The shower was lovely, the guests were all family so it was great having a chance to visit. Here's a picture of the happy couple along with the cake my very talented sister made for them.
So that was what my summer was like.
How about you? Did you take a fun vacation or stay-cation? Have any memorable moments?
Leave a comment and I'll pick one person to win their chice of any book in my backlist.
Oh Winnie…You and your foot! I sure hope it gets completely well this time with no screw interference. My husband and I left on a driving vacation June 1 and returned home July 25. We headed north from Texas, up to Canada and across to Alaska, ferrying part of the trip. We were in Alaska for about three weeks before we headed back across the Yukon, coming down into the lower forty-eight and drove all the way across to Michigan before making our way back to Texas. What a trip! The sights we saw and the experiences we had were the best!
Oh wow! what a fabulous trip that must have been. I love road trips, especially when I have good company and a flexible itinerary and it sounds like you had both.
I sure hope when your foot boot comes off you'll be good as new Winnie. But the respite after that first surgery gave you the chance to go to the Romance Conferance. Looked like you had a great time. This summer found me just taking weekends down the beach and getting together with family for BBQ and picnics.
Hi Carol. Sometimes those low key times spent with friends are worth more than extravagant vacations. Sounds like you had a lovely, relaxing time.
Wow, what a wonderful summer filled with friends and family. We moved this year so we had to set up. My husband had this wonderful idea to not bring out old furniture.
Oh cool, starting fresh from scratch ccan be so invigorating. Hope you are settling into your new place comfortably.
I sure hope your foot surgery works right this time around. I don't have any summer memories. this summer has been the same as many of the others. No vacations, staycation or anything fun. Just the same thing I do every other day.
LOL, you and me both – I told the doctor no offense, but I didn't really want to go throhg this again.
I don't blame you one bit.
My summer was also spent in a boot. I tripped over a cat and broke my foot. I spent 3 months in the boot. It had only been off about 3 weeks when I fell and cut my head—10 staples and a large lump. The last month I have spent enjoying being able to get out in my garden and being able to drive again. So I had a sta-cation.
Yikes!! Plese take care Estella.
Hi Winnie! I laughed in recognition at your comment about your foot surgery recovery gives you a lot more time to read guilt-free 🙂 Sending wishes that all healing goes well this time … and no more shifting screws!
Thanks Nancy, or as I laughingly referred to it – they had to fix me because I had a screw loose.
Hope your foot gets better. Nothing fun happened here this summer although I did get the kitchen painted and a new floor put down after the dish washer leaked and messed up the floor.
Winnie, you are the epitome of patience and grace. I'm glad you got your second surgery over with and I hope you get back to two feet on the floor soon. It was fun seeing you in Denver and I'm kicking myself that we didn't get a picture. Darn it! I can never remember to do that when I meet up with old friends.
My fun summer thing was a trip down to the Texas Coast where I rented a beach house for a week. That was so relaxing. I loved every second and want to do it again next year.
Hi Linda – loved seeing you in Denver as well. I'm also bemoaning the fact that I missed a lot of photo opportunities. For every time I remembered to snap a picture, I missed 4-5 others I should have taken.
Winnie, I'm so sorry about your foot. May you heal quickly and completely.
My Summer was spent reading indoors escaping the Texas heat.
Thanks Caryl. And reading is not a bad way to spend the summer AT ALL!
Winnie, you have certainly been through the wringer. A friend of mine had similar surgery and was similarly sidelined. She just had her SECOND foot done.
Glad you were still able to go to RWA and keep up with your obligations.
Summer was okay. It's 100 degrees here so I feel that we are still in it, but I've also put out some pumpkins and hardy mums, you can't fight it. Did a bunch of day trips with my daughter, but my husband takes his vacations in October and December, so we're saving money and energy for those. Didn't get to RWA, looking forward to ACFW.
Good to hear from you in another venue.
Hi Kathy. Day trips can be fun – glad you were able to do some with your daughter. And Autumn is one of my favorite times to take vacations – so much cooler and less crowded!
Winnie, prayers that your foot continues to heal.
My summer consisted of injuring my leg, many stitches and bandage changes.
We also celebrated our middle son's marriage and enjoyed the rehearsal dinner and wedding.
Thanks Maryann. And oh I'm so sorry about your injury. Congratulations on your son's wedding. As it happens, my son is getting married in mid October and the big question is will I be able to walk down the aisle as MOG on my own or will I go in on my knee scooter.
Oh, Winnie. I pray continued healing for your foot. I love that you are choosing colorful casts.
I began my summer with my husband recovering from complications from cornea transplant surgery he had in March. I'm ending my summer with him recovering from his second cornea transplant surgery. Thankfully, he has not had as many complications this time.
Thanks Andrea. And I'm so sorry about your husband's health issues. Bless you for being there to take care of him – being a caretaker is a difficult, often underappreciated role.
I got in a bunch of reading, enjoyed a few family b-days… Happy Healing!
What a nice post. The family events are always the best, but the pictures from the conference are great, too. I totally get it about your foot. About 4 years ago I decided to get in shape so joined the gym w/personal trainer so I would only do workouts appropriate to my age and current physical condition. Three weeks in my foot was broken – apparently my perky young trainer didn't realize planks weren't the best idea and neither did I. My bones are extremely slow-healing, or I'm in the tiny minority where they never heal. Have been the boot route, bone stimulator, many, many x-rays. Not painful enough for surgery, thank goodness, just always swollen to a degree so shoe choices and exercise have limits. Had another CT scan recently, meeting with the doctor in 2 days to see if bones have healed "apart" in which case bone stimulator would be pointless; otherwise, trying it again. But compared to your surgeries I have had the easy route. Good luck with recovery – and you're right, extra time to read isn't a bad thing!
Hi Sally. So, so sorry about your foot woes. I am sending positive thoughts your way for a great outcome.
Thanks, and back at you! In all my foot woes I forgot to add that I did have a lovely summer, a stay-cation but lots of reading, contact with friends and family and a good bit of relaxation.
Winnie, you have certainly had your share of woes these past months but I'm glad that you had joyful moments also. My husband went in for a routine colonoscopy the last of March and ended up with a pacemaker so most of my summer has been doing some of the chores he would normally do. Thankfully I enjoy outside work and I am glad that he is now on the mend.
I wish you a total recovery!
Hi Connie. So sorry to hear about your husband's health issues but it sounds like he has a really good caregiver! Hope the two of you have a more enjoyable time this Fall.
I hope your foot is healing well now and there will be no more problems. I am sure you are tired of having your foot and lower leg in a cast.
It has been a busy summer for us with many volunteer activities. We did make a two and a half week trip from TN to NH and NY and tried to make it a bit of a vacation. The trip to NH was for my husband's cousin. The trip to NY was to visit my family. My youngest brother has terminal cancer and my sister had had two strokes. Nice to see people, but would have preferred better circumstances. We have two trips coming up this Fall. One for a friend's funeral at Arlington National Ceremony and the other for a conference on a neurological disease I was diagnosed with in March. We will make the most of both trips visiting friends and doing some sightseeing.
As you know and have shown, make the best of the situation and don't let anything hold you back.
Hi Patricia. Sorry to hear you are dealing with so many troubles and losses. But it sounds like you aree facing it with courage and confidence. Take care of yourself.
We stayed home this summer. I did get to do some reading, though. Sounds like your summer, despite the foot problems, was filled with joy.

Beware people at PayPal, Your dominance in person-to-person payment is now threatened. You now have competitors in Google wallet, visa and AMEX Serve, to name just the major ones.
Mobile payment market is expected to grow to $640B by 2014 and big companies are working hard towards grabbing the largest pie of it. Advent of technology coupled with few fresh ideas resulted in mushrooming of start- ups in digital payment landscape.
Companies with big fat wallet were quick to notice this opportunity and grabed the most potential ones. American Express grabbed a company called 'Revolution Money' and after the amalgamation the product, which went live in March, is called 'Serve'.
At present PayPal captures the majority share in P2P payment, with nearest rivals not even close to it in terms of revenue. No wonder that the likes of Google, Visa and American Express are trying to enter in this lucrative and fastest growing payment industry.
Since its launch, Serve has really grown bigger piggy backing on Amex's muscle power and brand value. The recent news of serve tying up with Face Book, Patch.com, Foursquare, Sprint and most recently, Verizon wireless is customary to that fact.
Why you should one ditch PayPal in favor of Serve? Answer lies in another question. Have you ever received a payment through Paypal? My fellow blogger colleagues would certainly give a positive nod. Bloggers receive most of the payments through PayPal and we never receive full payments.
PayPal always deducts a commission out of your money. Serve will not do that.
I am on board of a non profit organization, we receive donation through Paypal, we pay them around $2500 per year on commission just for receiving payments from our payers.
Here is what mentioned about fees on Paypal and Serve websites.
I have been using Serve for a couple of months to pay my service providers who refuse to accept checks and I am completely satisfied with Serve.
Now, if I receive a payment through serve from an advertiser, who would otherwise have paid me through PayPal, I will receive the full money I was supposed to get, because Serve will not deduct 2.99% from that payment.
You can fund both through your bank account, which is free of cost.
You can fund your account through debit or credit card for 2.99% fee. PayPal do offer discounted rate for large financial transactions.
These are not credit cards, so you don't need to give your SSN and your credit history is not accessed to open accounts.
validation of bank account or cards happen in same way.
Serve comes with a AMEX prepaid card with variable limit on it, which depends on how much money you put in your serve account. So if you are a person who avoids credit card and want to be restricted on impulse buying, a serve card is a product for you, even if you don't need a person to person payment network.
Serve has a feature of sub accounts, your Serve account can have many sub accounts and you can transfer money from your main account to these sub accounts. One blog world example would be when we pay our copywriters, staff writers or social network admins we may not have to use PayPal or physical check. You can apply for a serve account and open a few sub accounts for these service providers. Each of them will receive a Serve card. Now you can allocate money to these sub accounts towards the payment for the services you receive.
You can give Serve sub accounts to your children and control their spending and spending habit, as you can see how they are spending their money from your master Serve account.
You get American Express standard customer service for your account, Serve card is accepted in all places an AMEX card is accepted.
Serve is your digital wallet, if you have serve app on mobile phone you can use it to make payments, although the current state is very nascent and rolled out to limited geographic areas, but it is where the future is.
Serve, in association with Foursquare, gives ultra localized deals. If you have a Foursquare account, link it with serve account. Now when you visit some place your foursquare account will list the local deals. Simply load the deal on your serve account and pay for the deal with it, within a few days your account will be credited back. Engage in a coupon free life here after, how exciting!
Although Serve is by far the best tool in P2P payments, we must remember that many great products failed in market place due to lack of branding and promotion. Serve is a people's tool and people's participation is what will make it a success or a failure.
This payment share war is similar to social networking war. See, how much Google is struggling to compete with FaceBook. Google Plus is a great product, but very low acceptance rate making it another Google failure, well almost.
If Serve has to win, it has to work with partners at a furious pace, the sooner people find out about Serve's benefits; better it would be for Serve. The tie-up with Verizon is a right step towards this direction.
You might like Serve, but unless the person who is sending or receiving money from you is also on Serve, you can't love Serve just because it's a digital wallet of future.
Readers, If you have anything to share on your personal experience with any P2P payment tools including Serve and PayPal, feel free to share. I would also invite comments from PayPal and Serve teams. I know my readers would love to listen from the horses' mouth.
Do remember to follow me on Twitter and/or Facebook, and subscribe to my RSS feed, coz' I will help.
It would be nice if Serve gave PayPal a run for it's money, but like you said it's kind of up to the people.
Yes definitely, it needs backing. And for that our understanding and awareness should grow first.
Serve sounds like a really promising and interesting service, I'll have to look into it.
thanks for the heads up. I'm always annoyed when paypal deducts a fee from my earnings.
I have been meaning to look into the press release they sent, but never got to it. As you have been using this for sometime, may be you will know the answer to these question.
1. Can you transfer the money to a bank or is it just the AmEx card?
2. What are the fees for business transactions? Personal transactions are free in paypal too, but business transactions are not. Is business transactions free in Serve?
1) You can not, only way is to withdraw money with serve card at an ATM (first time withdrawal is free in a month, then a $2 per transaction charge) no withdrawal limit, so you can withdraw all your money earned last month without paying any fees at one go. Or you can let be on your serve account and continue to earn 0.1% interest. You can also pay from Serve account using serve card almost everywhere where AMEX is accepted.
3) True, funding with credit card to serve account is free but will be charged 2.99% as PayPal does, starting 2012, which I have mentioned in my post as well. PayPal won't allow a big paypemt through your credit card, but Serve will allow you unlimited amount to be transferred from your credit card.
Serve now allows free withdrawals by ACH transfer to your linked consumer checking account.
Sounds like a great service. I'll have to look into it. Thanks.
I was searching for serve feature while got in to your blog. you said that I can not transfer money back to my bank from serve. this is a great drawback. good that I can spend through the card so that 2% save will be what the selling point is, right?
You got it Rob! You answered your own question. Thanks for stopping by.
After reading this blog and responses from then, I wasn't quite sure if you found out that you CAN sent money back to your bank account via the withdraw button on your account. It generally take about 3 days for it to hit your bank. How this helps also.
Thanks for the very helpful information. I haven't used this withdraw function yet.
Akimbo sounds great, except one thing, TOO MANY FEES.
Would love to save the paypal fees! I'll have to check if my advertisers have an account.
again i Wish them a Bankrupcy, they are dictators! B!!..


From a distance these flowers look lovely, normal. Up close, their veins, fangs, teeth and other animal characteristics become visible. The work is about our inner nature and the strong, creative, wild forces that yearn to be felt and seen. Must we hide these qualities or can we have the courage to be open, tough and real?
See the full works below the slideshow.


Tekashi 6ix9ine Kanye West and Nicki Minaj.
Police received a call of shots being fired within the vicinity of the exclusive 900 block of Alpine Drive on Thursday at 10.25pm. While no one was injured, a bullet did reportedly strike one of the bedroom windows, and 50 Cent, 43, is reacting to the scary news with a little humor.
Surveillance footage is now being reviewed. No one was harmed, though reportedly eight shots were fired at the rented $80 million Beverly Hills estate while the pair were inside.
Neighbors in the ritzy neighborhood who heard the shots and dialed 911 - prompting police, fire and an ambulance to respond. See the pic he posted of the scene, plus his hilarious Kanye West diss!
The New York Police Department told The Associated Press that the rapper said he was in the passenger seat of a auto that was bumped by another vehicle around 4:30 a.m. He claimed two men got out, forced him into their auto, and made him call another man to bring him some personal property, which he did. He "became uncooperative" after filing the report, police reps said, and was then admitted into the hospital.
He seemed to suggest that Kanye was swift to head off from the scene, matching similar reports from TMZ. Considering the beef he has had with Tekashi this year, it's not surprising to see him laugh about this. The gunmen reportedly forced him back into the auto and drove away, but he was allegedly able to escape by opening the back door of the vehicle and asking a stranger for help.


I've used Hoppe's gun oil, and since that ran out, I've used a few drops of WD-40, but it's not oil. Now I've got a full unopened quart of military surplus LSA (Lubricant-Small Arms) I've been intending to use. What are your thoughts regarding the regular use of this on my razors, or is there something better? If LSA's not going to work, I need to know why not? Will it hurt the razors?
Vaseline. It provides a seal against moisture and thus corrosion. It pretty much seals out everything. It doesn't react with the metal and it stays on forever. This is how I store the few razors I have in long term storage and it works flawlessly.
Remington Gun oil, but I expect most any brand would do, that's just what I happen to have.
given that there are some unused razors that have survived from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s until now in perfect mint condition and with the application of no oil or vaseline, is the application of oil necessary or desirable to preserve a razor?
Not always Paddy, but I live in a hot, humid climate and things rust here.
Old school patrolman's trick was to put car wax or clear shoe polish on his blued revolver. Put it on and buff it off.
Ok, I'm a 15 year LEO but a non straight owning peruser of this subforum.
yeah and I'm too young to have ever been issued a blued S&W. not by that much though.
Re: What oil is best for short/long term razor storage?

I appreciate the advice guys. It's been two years now, and the LSA seems to be working quite weil on my razors. Some are in a regular rotation, and some are in long term storage. I have one that sat for about a year and a half with the LSA on it, and it wiped right off and had done it's job well.

Following up after yet another two years has flown by. The LSA still works great after 4 years and a straight razor rotation of about 14 of my favorite razors. As I posted earlier, I bought a full unused quart of it and I've only used an ounce or so. It'll last far beyond my active shaving days.


Things You Should Know Before Hiring Electrical Contractors in Ottawa | Salter Electric Ltd.
Many homeowners and business owners may think that they can handle electrical work themselves, but it can actually be quite dangerous. This is especially true if you aren't sure what you are doing. Not all electrical works are same, while sometimes minor repair work in needed other times thorough checkup is needed, especially in home and basement renovation and retrofitting work. In order to prevent injury and damage to your home or commercial building, it's best to hire an electrician, and hiring electrical contractors in Ottawa doesn't have to be difficult when you do some preparation.
Take a look at the electrician's hourly rates, but also pay attention to travel charges. Travel charges can have a bigger impact on the final price. Travel charges can have a higher rate for the first hour, a minimum for each visit, or a higher overall hourly rate. If your electrical issue is not an emergency, you can create a list and bundle jobs together in order to save time and money. Electrical contractors in Ottawa can also do a home inspection to see if there are any fault switches, crowed outlets or anything that needs to be repaired.
Prepare for the electrician so the job can be done quicker. Have a list of the items that need to be done beforehand, since they budget for their time. Make sure that the electrical panel box is accessible so you don't have to pay for extra time. Clear away any fragile items from the area where they are working. Ask questions before electrician start and ask about any potential issues after the work is complete. You may lose power during the time they are working, so make sure you are prepared to pause anything you are currently doing. When you hire electrical contractors in Gloucester, Nepean, Orleans or Ottawa, you should expect them to clear the area to gain necessary access, diagnose the problem, shut off power, do the repairs or installation, and then clean up the area. Keep these things in mind before your next electrical repair work and hire electrician without any stress.


Q: My brother has been diagnosed with PKD and he suffered from back pain for a month. Doctors recommended him with some medicines to alleviate the pain, however, the pain relapse easily.Are there some alternative methods?
A: PKD, characterized by different sizes of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. As a hereditary disease, there is no cure for it until now.
In it's early stage, the cysts are usually small and asymptomatic. As time goes by, they will increase both in quantities and sizes. Gradually, a range of symptoms including back pain will come to light.
Honestly speaking, pain in the lower back area can be the result of many reasons, such as, kidney stone, infection or bleed, etc. Therefore, the first step should be focus on an accurate diagnosis. And the tests may include B ultrasound, CT scan, urine test, blood test, etc.
As for the medications, we should confirm that they can help relieve the symptoms to a certain extent, however, the root cause still exists.
At our center, hot compress therapy is highly recommended. It is created on the basis of TCM, but applied externally. With the help of osmosis device, active substances of the herbs can effect on the Shenshu acupoints directly. After a period of treatment, the toxins and cystic fluid can be eliminated eventually, meanwhile, it can help recover the original qi and restore kidney function. For detailed information, please email us:renal-disease@hotmail.com and we are glad to help.


We have been talking about the Easter Story . What do you think about this video clip.

Origin Story: Reflecting On Our First Decade
by Ando, December 2, 2019
Nomadic beginnings
If you were hiking in remote Victorian high country in post WWII Australia, you risked crossing paths with an eccentric youth in top-hat and lederhosen, gone bush for weeks at a time, living on little but scroggin and his wits. That was my dad, and his wanderlust and adventurous spirit meant I had no hope of living a boring life.
When that eccentric youth became a wheelmaker and father of four, his desire for discovery would manifest itself every four years in a multi-month trip to different regions of the world. We'd pack our lives into bags and go nomadic, typically traveling by campervan so we could push beyond the typical tourist routes.
When I reached my teens I began heading away solo, chasing winters around the globe as a ski-racer and backcountry junkie. Self-funding these pursuits meant I had to get creative with airline baggage allowances, negotiating four sets of skis, race gear and touring equipment. During that time, it was obvious that my travel gear was insufficient, so I taught myself to sew and modify gear, beefing up shoulder straps, overhauling compression systems, and adding modular pouches.
Little did I know, I was working towards something…
At the same time, on the other side of the globe, Hadrien Monloup was shaping his own nomadic spirit. Born into the artistic household of a renowned set designer, Hadrien moved between the beaches of south-west France and cities that would shape his own design ideologies.
Australian connections
In 2004, just outside of a small Victorian surf town called Torquay, a shaggy-haired Frenchman emerged from a surf, introduced himself, and offered his tips on the best sandbank to paddle out at. I was just starting work as a designer for Rip Curl, and within six months, Hadrien and I would team up together to rethink their travel gear.
The range we inherited consisted of cheap school bags and price-pointed luggage. Their most expensive backpack was just over US$50. And it felt at odds with Rip Curl's vision of becoming the ultimate surf company, guided by 'the search' for waves and adventure.
So we got busy reimagining a range that could let surfers travel further, whether through the remote jungles of the Mentawais, or the snow-covered points of Norway. From backpacks and boardbags, to luggage and wetsuit buckets, we changed the entire quiver of bags needed for genuine surf adventure.
This was a hugely rewarding time for us. We travelled between the world's best wave regions 'for work,' grew the division rapidly, and explored product opportunities that others had missed.
So why would we leave a dream job like that…?
Well, great brands tend to serve very distinct audiences, and for Rip Curl, the primary audience was the 17 to 19 year-old surfer. This certainly made our design briefs crystal clear, but it also felt limiting for us, as designers. Our own goals and desires were changing, and we had curiosity for new areas that would never be the right fit for a surf brand.
Hadrien and I knew we wanted to work together. And while we didn't have a name for the space back then, we wanted to build something focused around our passion for bags, accessories, travel and the equipment used to help us move through the world. So we quit our insanely fun jobs, and began brainstorming how to do just that.
Seeding a community
In 2002, a Melbourne based sneaker-head called Woody started a publication called Sneaker Freaker. He wanted to celebrate sneaker culture, bringing together fans who shared his passion. We wondered if we might be able to do something akin to Sneaker Freaker, but around our own passion for bags, luggage and gear.
Only we didn't even have a name for it…
Through countless brainstorms, the term 'carry' slowly emerged. While it seems obvious in hindsight, it took us some time to realize that we were simply talking about the gear and knowledge we need to 'carry' our things. And knowing we wanted to study everything about the space, 'ology' being the 'study of' made sense. So Carry-ology as a concept was born.
After we had the concept, we started scratching out articles, drawing in some assistance from talented friends (Jimmy Gleeson for design and Lincoln Eather for 'the Internet'). With their help we gave birth to Carryology in Nov 2009.
Looking back, it was that quintessential passion project. We were writing in our days off, after hours, gathering around my kitchen table and brainstorming into the night. We were also trying to keep income coming in – Hadrien took a masseuse course so he could earn extra money on the side (the man has the hands of angel, by the way!) – because we didn't have any form of monetizing Carryology or managing its sustainability. It was just a project that we felt should exist in the world. It started to get shared around, people noticed it, people started to talk about it. Soon we had people from all over the world saying, "I care about that stuff too. It's cool there's a name for it. Awesome. Can we be involved?"
Incredible folks like David Vo and Taylor Welden reached out. Not long after Brian Park, John P,James Jeffrey, and Douglas Davidson were also connecting. And we saw the start of a global audience who were amped about finding a blog dedicated to their under-appreciated passion.
The carry world was a little different in 2009
In 2009, bike messengers still sweated around every urban road, hauling Timbuk2, Chrome, Crumpler or bespoke single strap sacks that could swallow any shaped package. Backpacks were mostly either outdoor/tactical focused with straps aplenty, or stripped-back panel loaders in primary colors that screamed 'school' in every way. Burton and Dakine were bringing lifestyle features to surf and snow sports, but their youthful colorways made them challenging to bring into an office. Luggage was generally constrained by small wheels or burdensome weight. And wallets came with their own postcode, bulging beyond what most pockets could hold.
But there were also glimmers of hope. A little brand called GORUCK had kicked off in 2008, with a goal to make military-level durability accessible to civilian audiences. The founders of Chrome were just getting started for a second time, launching Mission Workshop to evolve backpack ideas they'd only started to explore with Chrome. A brand called Herschel was kicking off, bringing more urban colors to classic JanSport forms while helping rebirth the Pig Snout as a symbol of a heritage aesthetic renaissance. KILLSPENCER was launching with a new take on utilitarian luxury. In Japan, Yoshida & Co. were giving professionals hope that two straps could look as good as one under their Porter brand. Within a year other Japanese were discovering a specialist American maker called Mystery Ranch, and started introducing their life-critical packs to an urban audience. $300 was an extreme price-point for anything outside of the luxury space.
While there were seeds of awesomeness, there was also plenty of 'under-developed' carry goods. We made a call early that we didn't want to diss brands. We were designers ourselves and we knew how hard it was to make really great gear. We didn't want to be the trashy film critic. We wanted to focus on the things people were doing well and to be able to champion, with our hand-on-hearts, the gear that was truly awesome, while giving positive feedback when something didn't hit the mark, so folks could get better.
This supportive focus was important for another reason. While Carryology was taking shape, a few of us were also trying to create our own brand called Bellroy, which launched with a range of five slim wallets in August 2010.
In other industries that could have been a recipe for disaster, as some of our core team members were contributing to both Carryology and Bellroy. So we knew we had to maintain objectivity, and demonstrate our good intentions in everything we did. Luckily we had a leg up thanks to being friends with many of the brands we were writing about, so they knew that we were values-driven people. In the early days, those friendships got us enough access to samples to write about, and gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our desire to be objective and to really celebrate the good stuff, no matter what.
Some early milestones
In 2012 our desire to celebrate the best of the carry world led to us establishing our annual Carry Awards. Lincoln spearheaded these first awards to recognize the efforts that we felt were being missed in the mainstream. We wanted to shine a light on the best innovations in the industry in the hope of pushing the needle, just a little bit, every year.
Around this annual drumbeat, we were interviewing heroes, attending our first OR, sharing Japanese carry culture, making friends, and praising Big Blues. We were exploring the fringes of carry, the cutting-edge ingredients of carry, whilst also telling stories about the foundation pieces that helped shape our passion. Heck, we were even working out how to carry babies as we faced those challenges ourselves.
By the end of 2013, we could see that our hobby blog needed a full time pilot, which is when our search brought us Mike as a Managing Editor. Mike came from the worlds of streetwear, music, urban subcultures and writing. His carry apprenticeship began immediately.
Let's hand over to Mike…
When I first rolled into Carryology HQ, it was a bit of a shock, to be honest. There, in a small shopping square, a short walk from Bells Beach, I stepped into an office front no bigger than your local takeaway shop, with twelve of the biggest and warmest personalities you'll ever cross paths with inside – some with hair that was sandy from the surf, and everyone smiling and laughing and working their butts off.
There were hugs and high-fives and more utterances of the word 'rad' than a city boy like me was accustomed to. By the window, whiteboards were scribbled with new plans and designs. There was a small kitchen at the rear where making coffee was a ritual. And a mountain of bags stacked in the back corridor, one on top of the other, as high as the ceiling. So big, in fact, that there'd be the occasional bag-o-lanche if the wrong piece was removed without enough care.
On that first day, I was given an Arc'teryx Khard 30. "Here, take this for a week or two. Make notes. Tell me what ya think," Andy said. The next week, it was replaced with a CamelBak Tri-Zip. The next, a Mission Workshop Arkiv Modular Pack. And on it went, week after week. I spent those early days consuming all of the past articles, immersing myself in the community the guys had built. Learning about the brands they gushed over, and finding out why they were so special, so cutting-edge.
I digitally met our team across the Pacific: Catherine, John Canfield, Mike Weiss, Brian Park, David Vo, Mr Zing and a character called Taylor (who at the time had a finger-twisted moustache and was yet to grow his infamous red beard). The months and years that followed were a ride. I'd scored the gig just as Carryology was blowing up and things moved quickly.
Our Carry Awards grew and grew, with brands reaching out months in advance for selection, and what seemed like the whole industry converging upon the blog for that month of every year. We pushed our photography and content to higher levels, connecting with the world's best designers, collectors, brand HQs, and talking to specialists in their fields about what they carried (including war reporters, firefighters and storm chasers). All the while, ticking things off our dream list, like gaining access to the hallowed grounds of Yoshida & Co. or visiting the famed Böle tannery.
New and legendary contributors joined along the way. Frank Sedlar took us to the flood-riddled streets of Jakarta, Ace brought his stamp of outdoor nous, Piotr Ma led us along on his amazing field tests, and we pushed the first big wave of video with Bo Ismono, Zeke Kamm, 1iOPen Productions, Excessorize Me, and Chase Reeves and Pack Hacker in their early days.
We changed the way we scored, giving more detailed breakdowns of the criteria that we felt gave the whole picture of great carry. Then worked hard to build the world's first interactive buying guide and product finder, grouping the world's best carry in one spot, ranked.
Soon, we'd dive into our most ambitious project and tick another box on our dream list. We'd build a concept store. But not just any concept store. In our eyes, it'd be the greatest carry store in the world. Every brand we loved, from every corner of the globe, all in one clean gallery-inspired space, designed to celebrate gear, with no distractions.
A few years later, and one of my favorite moments, on day three of Outdoor Retailer, over a plate of some of the worst Italian food on the planet and some crisp beers, we were offered our first collab with Topo Designs. The type of 'imagine if' moment that Andy, Taylor and I had only dreamed of years before. It would be the opportunity to pump all of our learning and passion into a pack that we could give back to the community, with the hope of sparking imaginations.
Now, having released five collaborations in total, they're something that has meshed into our DNA. And so too building community via Carry Classified and our new Carry Collective meet-ups, popping up all over the globe. Finding ways to bring folks together, online and IRL.
It's an exciting time for Carryology. Looking back, we've achieved so much, but what's more exciting is what lies ahead. Watch this space. We've been working behind the scenes for a while now on a new vision, and plan to build our team for 2020 and beyond, diving more into video and improving our tools to help you find the right gear.
Also look for more boundary-pushing collabs with brands we've raved about for years (I have a prototype on my desk right now that we're calling 'The Unicorn' that you're gonna LOVE!) and more experiments in the event space.

Have you ever accidentally gotten locked out of the office? It's quite an embarrassing situation to be in. Follow these few tips to avoid future lockouts!
You've just spent the longest day at the office, trying to figure out how to reach a deadline and avoid delaying more important upcoming projects. You have just one more report to finish, and you go down to the vending machine to get a quick snack to get you going. All of your co-workers have already left, and it's just you and the building's security guard now.
You come back with a chocolate bar in one hand and a hot cup of coffee in the other one and as you get near your office, you catch a glimpse on the door that seems to be closed. That's odd, you don't remember locking the office behind you this time around since everyone is already gone. You start to get a weird tingling down your spine, but you can't exactly put your finger on what might be causing it. Something just feels off. As you reach your office, you can now clearly see the door is closed – and locked. You don't remember grabbing your keys with you, so your weird tingling turns into heavy breathing and a few extra heartbeats.
You've locked yourself out! How could that be? You always take your keys with you and you are always careful about not letting anyone get near your desk when you are not around.
Take a deep breath. It happens to the best of us, and it's not the end of the world. Think of the quickest way you could get in and finish your urgent report. Is there anyone you can call and ask them to bring over a spare key you can use? Is there a magical drawer with some keys you could test? Can you call your manager and explain the whole situation, hoping they will come to your rescue?
If this is your first lockout incident, you may be able to laugh it off in the morning by the watercooler. If you are no stranger to lockouts, your heart might be pounding a little too fast right now. Don't worry, you can give us a call and let us send over the nearest emergency locksmith in your area to restore your access to your office.
If you are not currently dealing with a real emergency, we advise you to take a look at the following office lockout prevention tips.
Always carry your office keys on you. Whether you are using the classic metal, bulky key or a modern-day electronic access card to enter your office, you should always carry it on you. This is the first and most important office lockout prevention tip you should memorize and put into practice 24/7. No matter where you might need to go in the middle of your work hours, you should grab your keys. It's usually those brief and unexpected visits outside your office that lead to accidental lockouts.
Never make the mistake of assuming one of your coworkers will be in the office upon your return. If you are the only one with a key to your office, act responsibly and always carry it on you. Use a special pocket for the key or use your keyring or smartphone case to safely store your key. This way, you will always know the whereabouts of your key and never risk losing, misplacing or leaving it behind.
Periodical maintenance service on your locks will also help you prevent any technical issues that might cause you to get locked out. Make sure your locks are in top shape all the time by hiring a local locksmith service for proper maintenance. Any faults and flaws in your locks will automatically prevent you from using your keys the right way, which could lead to lockouts.
Be mindful all the times. This is another good office lockout tip that could save you from a lot of trouble. Make sure you are always in touch with what you are doing, especially when locking and unlocking a door to your office. Feel that key into the palm of your hand and pay attention when twisting it into the keyway and placing it into your pocket/bag. Be diligent and remember to always stay in the moment until you make it a habit. You will thank yourself later.
Always carry a phone on you. Make sure that you can use a phone to call someone with a spare key in case you do get locked outside of your office for one reason or the other. You can also use a phone to call an emergency locksmith and immediately regain access to your office without too much hassle.
Have a spare key made and keep it at home or inside your car so you can easily grab it in case you get locked out. Spare keys are also useful as they can be used to replace a key that has broken in the lock. Just keep in mind it is recommended that you have your lock re-keyed in case you suspect someone might have stolen your keys or made copies without your consent.
Remember to save the number of an emergency locksmith in your phone and ask for professional help if you cannot handle the lockout situation you are in on your own.

The US government will provide US$25m to help digital activists and political dissidents in autocratic countries work their way around censorship. US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said the internet is the public square of the 21st century and must be kept open.
She said the US government has so far awarded more than US$20m in competitive grants through an open process to support a "burgeoning group of technologists and activists working at the cutting edge of the fight against internet repression."
Clinton added a further US$25m is going to be awarded to these activists' efforts.
"A few minutes after midnight on January 28th, the internet went dark across Egypt," said Clinton during a speech yesterday on the campus of George Washington University.
Clinton said 2bn people are now online, nearly a third of humankind. "We hail from every corner of the world, live under every form of government, and subscribe to every system of beliefs. And increasingly, we are turning to the internet to conduct important aspects of our lives.
Clinton warned that countries that oppress internet freedom and try to censor freedom of speech are in effect blotting their own economic futures.
"When countries curtail internet freedom, they place limits on their economic future. Their young people don't have full access to the conversations and debates happening in the world or exposure to the kind of free inquiry that spurs people to question old ways of doing and invent new ones. And barring criticism of officials makes governments more susceptible to corruption, which create economic distortions with long-term effects. Freedom of thought and the level playing field made possible by the rule of law are part of what fuels innovation economies.
"So it's not surprising that the European-American Business Council, a group of more than 70 companies, made a strong public support statement last week for internet freedom. If you invest in countries with aggressive censorship and surveillance policies, your website could be shut down without warning, your servers hacked by the government, your designs stolen, or your staff threatened with arrest or expulsion for failing to comply with a politically motivated order. The risks to your bottom line and to your integrity will at some point outweigh the potential rewards, especially if there are market opportunities elsewhere," Clinton warned.
During her speech, Clinton slammed WikiLeaks publishing diplomatic cables as theft. She said the US government did not play a role in US companies like Amazon, MasterCard, PayPal and Visa shutting off payment services for WikiLeaks.
"Now, I know that government confidentiality has been a topic of debate during the past few months because of WikiLeaks, but it's been a false debate in many ways. Fundamentally, the WikiLeaks incident began with an act of theft. Government documents were stolen, just the same as if they had been smuggled out in a briefcase. Some have suggested that this theft was justified because governments have a responsibility to conduct all of our work out in the open in the full view of our citizens. I respectfully disagree.
"The United States could neither provide for our citizens' security nor promote the cause of human rights and democracy around the world if we had to make public every step of our efforts. Confidential communication gives our government the opportunity to do work that could not be done otherwise.
Clinton said the US government's ability to protect America and to support the rights and freedoms of others around the world depends on maintaining a balance between what's public and what should and must remain out of the public domain.
"The scale should and will always be tipped in favour of openness, but tipping the scale over completely serves no one's interests.
"Let me be clear. I said that the WikiLeaks incident began with a theft, just as if it had been executed by smuggling papers in a briefcase. The fact that WikiLeaks used the internet is not the reason we criticised its actions. WikiLeaks does not challenge our commitment to internet freedom.
"And one final word on this matter: There were reports in the days following these leaks that the United States Government intervened to coerce private companies to deny service to WikiLeaks. That is not the case.
"Business decisions that private companies may have taken to enforce their own values or policies regarding WikiLeaks were not at the direction of the Obama Administration," Clinton said.

rain around his untouchable frame.
hazily trusting it will hold me.
into the wild vale of grief.
This is the fear that the loved ones of addicts face every day. We learn to push it to the back of our minds, but it's always there, waiting until the addict has a wobble. That's when the fear goes into full attack mode.
following the trail back to the entrails.
in my quest to release the innocents.
there has been a victory.
while I hope for the best.
instead running with the gang.
I suspect a connection to our game.
is too hidden for me to see?
a table, a litter of toys.
as I go through the next door.
my first-born daughter is beside me.
to find myself alone again.
fingernails scrabbling in trickster cracks.
lest the enemy is near.
Don't panic, don't curl in a corner.
The wind picks up at the other end.
accompanied by the clink of dining.
"It's OK, this is a hotel," he tells me.
the diners raise their toast and applaud.
that caress the shushing sands of the shore.
where this moment of safety lies.
I should offer a medal to the determined souls who managed to read to the end of my dream.
Floods, crumbling buildings, empty rooms, childhood mementoes and being trapped and in danger are all recurring themes in my dreams.
A lot of my dreams make immediate sense to me, being clearly marked 'insecurity', while others are a jumble. I half-understood last night's dream, and built a poem around it to give me more clarity. It told me no more than I already know about the difficulties I've experienced in life, and of my opposing feelings of invincibility and weakness, of the power of my muscle and its inevitable collapse, of my confidence and my paranoia.
I can't resist this – it goes back to the days when British record producers were little tin Gods, and many UK musicians had to bow down to them, rather than choosing their own theme and style. Those who wished to be a bit more raunchy had their knuckles rapped, and smoochy ballads thrust into their hands.
better to donate to charities that protect them from their tormentors.
and their habit can kill.
yet those eyes kidnapped me as she begged beside Tesco Metro.
"I'm sorry – I don't carry change," I said.
since it could purchase her doom.
before sinking into the blood-flecked mud.
while they lied to me.
It seems she touched everyone she met.
I wanted her to find peace, but not like this.
closed for the final time.
of mindless heroin's dumb victory.
Word of the Day Challenge: Spying.
When I feel inspired, I write a poem before checking out the word of the day. I usually find that it fits. Today is no exception.
Lately, times and dates become smudged.
I only know it was a cold October.
My mother was taking a break away from home.
how her beloved London had changed.
where a friend from agile dancing days awaited her return.
Later would come supper, wine, a welcoming bed.
Wine, gulped down, leaving a wide smile, and no visible stain.
She described her sense of helplessness for these broken lives.
When she came home, she showed me the poem.
a message I couldn't quite read.
Still weeping, I typed her words onto a clean sheet of paper.
This I gave to her, together with the original.
I kept no copy for myself.
along with other significant documents.
My mother's words, gone forever.
could never speak, yet they remained unheard.
Years later, a mystery illness revealed the weakness hidden in her genes.
I couldn't dispel the feeling of unease and confusion.
Did I never guess, or did I refuse to know?
This poem – like many others I have written – honours my mother, who had more positive qualities than any other woman I have ever known. She was plagued for many years by alcoholism, but her love and strength were such that her family had no idea until she started to experience frightening catatonic spells, and was admitted to hospital. Addiction is a tragic disease that often runs in families. She warned me against it, and I took heed. I know I carry the disease, and I owe it to her that I have not allowed myself to become lost in it.
Were she alive today, she would be 102 years old on 14th February.
