(Begin clip of speech)
BARACK OBAMA: I believe the United States of America must remain a standard-bearer in the conduct of war. That is what makes us different from those who we fight. That is a source of our strength. That is why I prohibited torture. That is why I ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed and that is why I have reaffirmed America's commitment to abide by the Geneva Conventions. We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend.
(End clip)
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Chuck do you think the President gets enough moral authority with the rest of this speech to lead those neo-cons and Cheney types, Karl Rove and the rest of them, Michael Gerson, out of the valley of evil here? Can he take, can he, can he save them from their, at least short term, belief in torture and Gitmo and the rest of this?
CHUCK TODD, NBC NEWS: Well certainly as far as the relationship to the world is, if, if that's the, if that's where you're asking that question from, judging by that applause line. You know, not many parts of his speech invoked applause. And sometimes on foreign soil when a president, when the President is giving speeches people will not, not a lot of applause, sometimes that will be translation issues. That wasn't a translation issue. I think that was because of the soberness of the speech and the topic. But that is the part, and Chris it goes to your earlier point. That's the part where he separated himself from his foreign policy doctrine with President's Bush's foreign policy doctrine.
CYNTHIA TUCKER, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION: And that's what American Exceptionalism is all about in my view Chris. We are the people who have the good values, even when it is tough to do so. We don't torture. Yes we will try-
MATTHEWS: Cheney does!
TUCKER: Well-
MATTHEWS: The neo-cons believe in it!
TUCKER: Well that is not...
MATTHEWS: They come on this show every night. We had Ron Christie here, sitting in that chair last night, defending it down the line.
TUCKER: And that is why this speech still won't make Dick Cheney happy. But I think many Americans ought to be very proud of the speech that President Obama gave this morning.

Boarding was a fiasco on the Virgo as some people had been told that we boarded at 2.30m when in fact it was 8.30pm some people told us it was near to 11pm before they actually got on board.
Cabin was nice plenty of room for hanging clothes and a clean bathroom with separate shower sink and toilet.but on leaving singapore and picking up speed the whole cabin had a vibration that shook the whole room, we ended up putting bits of card in the ceiling parts that vibrated the most and that seemed to stop a lot of it.
next came muster drill which is a joke as there was still plenty of people wandering around the ship when every one was supposed to be at this drill no roll call or anything to see if every one was there, only at a guess did about half the passengers turn up, on this cruise there were 600 australians a few other nationalities and the rest were made up from Singapore and Asia.
there are no smoking signs all over the ship but nobody took any notice of them and when we asked a crew member to ask people to put out there cigarettes they were reluctant to do this and anyway people just ignored this and did as they pleased.
drinks on board were very reasonably priced on average from $20au for a bottle of wine cocktails $7au and we had a shipboard credit which we di dnt manage to spend all of it.
the shows on virgo are absolutely spectacular very good indeed, we enjoyed every single one of them, they also have some great live bands also on board which do a fantastic job, the cruise director is great and really seems to get every thing going.
tours we took the ho chi min city tour very good really enjoyed it be aware tho that you will be hassled to buy things especially if you visit the market, sanya we didn't like the bus took us to a coconut factory that wanted you to go through there shop which was laid out so that once you went in you had to go through the whole shop to get out, then on to a shopping mall we left early and went back to the ship which seemed to be the idea of quite a few of the other passengers as well.
the virgo is a lovely ship but they need to review the dining arrangements as most people were not impressed with the long long lines waiting to get into the restaurants,breakfast lunch and dinner it was always the same.we did have a good holiday as the ship itself is really nice and the wonderful staff are a credit to the star cruise line

Sunrise over Chicago's North Lake Shore Drive Bridge, the first of 18 movable bridges that cross the Chicago River in the two-mile stretch beginning at Lake Michigan. (They're all steel bridges, by the way.) From mid-April until early fall the city coordinates a lift schedule with local boat storage yards to minimize the disruption to surface traffic in the city caused by raising the bridges. Photos: Robert Johnson (sunrise), James Phillips (raised bridge).
Well, spring has come to Chicago, and there's no more sure sign than that the Chicago Department of Transportation has posted its Spring 2011 Bridge Lift Schedule. Every Wednesday and Saturday beginning tomorrow, April 16, the city will raise the bridges in sequence along the river to allow primarily sailboats to make their way from storage yards out to Lake Michigan and back.
Although the bridges also are raised at other times, a coordinated schedule with boat storage yards helps keep the impact on downtown surface traffic to a minimum. To learn more about the spring bridge lift season, including a link to the schedule, visit the City of Chicago website by clicking here.
For some interesting background and insight into Chicago's movable bridges, take a look at "Two Miles - Eighteen Bridges: A Walk Along the Chicago River, " by James S. Phillips. A native of New Mexico, Phillips split his engineering career between private industry and teaching math and engineering courses at the community college level. He is currently on sabbatical in Chicago where he continues to gather information on bascule bridges in Chicago's Loop and also leads tours. His 172-page book, published online in 2008, is available at www.chicagoloopbridges.com and provides both an historical context for these wonderful and diverse structures as well as technical insight into how they work. The included photos and maps make this a good guide for a Chicago outing (or two). For just $3.75, the book can be read online, through Scribd, or downloaded as a PDF file. It also is available in a format for mobile devices. You can learn more by visiting Phillips' Chicago Loop Bridges Facebook page, accessible by clicking here.
And when you plan your Chicago River bridge tour this summer, make sure to include the McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum, which opens with a preview this year on May 14, Chicago River Day. Throughout the summer you can observe the bridge's inner workings up close in the river-level gear room or from the top of the bridge tower. Visit www.bridgehousemuseum.org for details or to make reservations. And welcome to summer in Chicago!

"Thanks to the generous support of Amazon Web Services, students were provided AWS access through my teaching grant which they applied to coursework. The ability to provision Hadoop clusters on-demand gave students hands-on experience with utility computing and provided a vehicle for completing coursework and a final project."
—Jimmy Lin, Associate Professor, University of Maryland, College Park
"Using AWS for our Web 2.0 Application Development courses has been a phenomenal resource. Administration was so easy that students were able to get their projects deployed quickly, and venture capitalists attending the final project demos were impressed at the level of polish and creativity that a small student team could produce in just a few weeks."
—Armando Fox, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of California at Berkeley
"Translational Science is a fast paced activity that spans whole genome sequencing to clinical interpretation of individual SNPs with an ultimate objective of validation and assimilation of newly discovered genetic and molecular knowledge and tests into the clinical enterprise. My lab (lpm.hms.harvard.edu) and our collaborators take advantage of the Amazon Web Services flexibility to conduct a broad range of 'experiments' in translational science hosted by Dennis Wall and myself at the Center for Biomedical Informatics, Harvard Medical School."
—Peter J. Tonellato, Ph.D., Center for Biomedical Informatics, Harvard Medical School
"AWS is a great fit for 3 Day Startup, an event where 40 student entrepreneurs take a web startup from the drawing board to a launched prototype in 60 intense hours. With Amazon"s EC2 and Amazon's S3 technology on our side, we can go live in minutes without worrying about configuration, reliability, and most importantly, scalability."
—Thomas Finsterbusch, PhD candidate, the University of Texas, Austin
"In fall 2008, we moved Harvard's introductory computer science course, CS 50, into the cloud. Rather than continue to rely on our own instructional computing infrastructure on campus, we created a load-balanced cluster of virtual machines for our 330 students within Amazon EC2. Our goals were both technical and pedagogical. As computer scientists, we wanted more control over our course's infrastructure (e.g., root access), so that we ourselves could install software at will and respond to problems at any hour. As teachers, we wanted easier access to our students' work as well as the ability to grow and shrink our infrastructure as problem sets' computational requirements demanded. But we also wanted to integrate into the course's own syllabus discussion of scalability, virtualization, multi-core processing, and cloud computing itself. What better way to teach topics like those than to have students actually experience them."
—David J. Malan, Lecturer on Computer Science, Harvard University
"The Malaria Atlas Project is an ambitious collaboration between international malaria scientists with one specific aim: to make detailed global maps of malaria to help drive the fight against the disease. The Malaria Atlas project team has already defined the transmission limits (the boundary of malaria's geographic extent), and have recently published the most detailed global maps of risk ever produced. The next goal is to map how malaria's burden of death and disease varies across the globe — current knowledge is surprisingly patchy and this hampers efforts to target funds and resources to the people that need them most. "All models use top-end spatial statistics, and these don't come cheap when you're mapping things down to 5×5km pixels across the whole world. Up to now, computation and storage have been major restrictions, placing constraints on the models we're able to run. Our research grant from Amazon Web Services means we now have access to the kind of serious parallel processing that we need to implement model runs in feasible timescales and the storage to deal with the massive model output."
—Dr. Pete Gething, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford.
"Project Olympus is a new initiative designed to create and sustain Next Generation Computing innovation for Western Pennsylvania. Our vertical search engine spider is a time-sensitive application that requires bursts of increased computing power. Amazon Web Services helped us quickly leverage the power of cloud computing to meet the demands of our project."
—David E. Chen, undergraduate student studying Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University
"The generous grant we have received from the AWS in Education program will dramatically increase the reach of my student group's collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) to develop distributed assistive computer vision technology for the visually impaired."
—Serge Belongie, Associate Professor, University of California, San Diego
"The adoption of elastic storage with Amazon S3 at Stanford is a strategic development in achieving and maintaining a significantly improved data and security environment which highly leverages current state-of-the-art cost-effective technologies in an easily accessible and manageable framework."
—Horace Greeley, Systems Group, Stanford University
"AWS gives our MS in Analytics and computer science student's access to resources that would otherwise be difficult to fund at a school of our size. Moreover, the management console makes it really easy for instructors to manage resources for the students. Finally, DynamoDB lets us build NoSQL databases that would not fit on a student machine and Elastic MapReduce means we don't have to struggle with installing Hadoop."
—Prof. Terence Parr, email@example.com, Graduate Program Director in Computer Science

Question: What type of venue do you see the show in in New York? Broadway theatre, Off-Broadway…
Question: Tell me a little bit about the character that you're going to play in Love Therapy.
Question: You mentioned before revisiting "New York Romance." What was that like for you, going back to that show and that title song?
22 Mar 2013
Fraser: No, I think it should be an Off-Broadway house. My dream house would be Theatre 80 at 80 St. Mark's. I love that theatre. To me, it's the most wonderful, ambient theatre space in New York, and come on, there is an Absinthe bar there. [Laughs.] I mean, how perfect is that? It's a wonderful theatre that you walk in and it's like 1925, and it's just like going back in time. I had seen a magnificent piece there called Cloud 8, which was just this astonishing anarchic piece by Scotty Decker, and the really happy coincidence here is that Scotty is doing a movie version of that this summer, and he took my agent's tickets to the Tennessee Williams benefit — because my agent had gotten ill, he had this bad stomach virus that was going around — so Scotty got his tickets, and then afterwards he emailed me and said, "You know what, I'm writing you a part in the movie," so I'll be doing a part in the movie version of Scotty Decker's Cloud 8, and I think we do that in L.A. this summer, so that's very exciting, too!
Fraser: This is wonderful because, as you can see from "It Could Be Worse" — and as you saw in Divine Sister and School for Lies and all of those wonderful plays that I've had the good fortune to be in the past few years — I get cast as the villain a lot, although I'm not the villain in the Tennessee Williams show. I'm just the Blanche archetype… But in "It Could Be Worse" I play a severe character… Wendy has really, in an act of fabulousness, written me not as the villain, but as incredibly warm and pragmatic, and I'm really almost a mother figure in this, and I'm very helpful to the leading character who's going through a lot of emotional turmoil because she has developed a sexual attraction — she's a therapist who's developed a sexual attraction for one of her clients… I am a waitress at a diner/bar, and I talk to her. She's my friend even though she's quite a bit younger than I am, and we talk things out, and I have a very different view of therapy than she has. I have that opinion that you just need a good friend to talk to. And, it's a lovely part, and like Wendy, this character is of an Irish background. I'm half Irish, so she speaks with a little bit of an Irish accent even though she's been here for about 25 years, and she's just one of those ladies [who] works very hard, and she probably plays hard, too, and she is kind and smart, and I am very grateful that Wendy has seen that side of me. I'm very grateful for that.
Fraser: Well, of course, I sing that song a lot. It's a great song that my late husband Rusty Magee wrote, and it's the song that made me fall in love with him and say, "Geez, I've got to marry him and get him out of the dating scene. Whatever dating scene he's in, he's been miserable!" [Laughs.] And, that's the mythology of our New York romance, and I've been singing it for years, and, of course, when I did the big concert at Tisch Center years and years ago, which my first album was based on, it was successful and the CD is still in print and Phil Bond over at 54 Below asked me to do a show there. It was at a time I was very busy, and when I put together my cabaret shows, I obsess about them, but it was exactly the same time as I was doing the Tennessee Williams show, and I couldn't come up with a new concept, and I thought, "What if I revisited 'New York Romance'?" For those people who don't know the concept of the album, it's the story of a New York romance from first lightning bolt of attraction to the lesson learned after the romance doesn't work out. And, it's all done through a combination of American Songbook and some contemporary songs—Randy Newman is in there—and then about five of Rusty's really gut-wrenching songs about romance, culminating with the great cabaret anthem "New York Romance," and I was wondering how it would play with just piano because, of course, we couldn't afford the fantastic band that we had… I think we had nine pieces on the album, and in the big concert at the Tisch Center, and I thought, "You know what, I think the story holds." It's a theatrical piece. It's like a little play. I could actually see somebody else doing it. Like, I'd love to see Alan Cumming do "New York Romance" — the same series of songs…because everybody has their own New York romance story, and I would love to hear somebody else's take on this same group of songs because it worked like a charm when we did it at 54 Below, and they immediately asked us back.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
It is with decidedly mixed feelings that I herewith submit my last column for Newtown Patch.
While this decision was not mine to make, be assured that I am not sitting here sobbing in my soup. I certainly won't have any trouble filling my time. For one thing I can now devote more time to my personal website and blog both of which I've had for over 5 years.
Almost exactly two years ago, Patch's first editor Hoa Nguyen left a telephone message for me stating that she wanted to speak to me about something new coming to Newtown. The idea of writing a biweekly and eventually a weekly column for an online media website was the last thing on my mind.
In fact I thought it was just one more of a long list of phone calls I seem always to be getting—in spite of having put my name on the no-call list!
When I first started this, I felt a little panicky at the thought of having to come up with initially two columns a week. I sat there realizing that was over 100 per year. How on earth was I going to find enough interesting things to write about?
I shouldn't have worried. Close attention to Newtown politics, government, education and just life in general has provided more than enough fodder for the grist mill.
This is my 148th column for Newtown Patch. I wrote another 60 for Monroe Patch before they too made cutbacks.
In reviewing my list of columns it seems I've covered every conceivable subject. While I was charged with keeping my subject matter pertinent to local issues, I even managed to get in my two cents on some national issues.
Along the way, I've received enormous feedback from a great many people. Most of that feedback was quite positive but as anyone who reads the comments knows, I, too, have my share of detractors.
I've also received verbal feedback from people I run into around town, phone calls from others, private emails and letters—all very positive.
I even received a message from a person from Pennsylvania commenting on something I wrote. It would seem Newtown Patch has reached some distant places.
In looking back I found two pieces in particular that resulted in more comments and private feedback than any other.
The first was a column I did about special education in the Newtown schools. As I mentioned in a follow-up column, I received numerous private messages from parents who wished not to be identified describing the ordeal of dealing with the Newtown schools special education department. That is still very much an open issue.
The second column drawing the most comments was my profile of soon-to-be-unemployed owner operators Marsha Moskowitz and Phil Carroll. That one brought a huge response—and left the town with a very bad feeling indeed of how the leaders of our school system conduct business.
There have been many more but time and space prevent further elaboration.
Yes, it has been quite a ride. And the opportunity for me to do this was because you—loyal Patch supporters—took the time to read what I had to say.
Thank you one and all—and be assured, you can look forward (or not) to seeing an occasional comment from me as various issues develop in our town.

Don't take it from me. The august Financial Times said it last Saturday: 'It is not just the credit crisis. Popular fears of globalization, discontent with high oil and food prices, rising income inequality within nations – all have contributed to an uncertain time for capitalism. The capitalists have certainly not helped.'
Don't take it from me. The august Financial Times said it last Saturday: 'It is not just the credit crisis. Popular fears of globalization, discontent with high oil and food prices, rising income inequality within nations – all have contributed to an uncertain time for capitalism. The capitalists have certainly not helped.'
The paper's editors generally place the blame for the economic meltdown currently underway on the bankers, the decisions the captains of high finance have made in their management of their money and ours. They are not about to allow that there is anything about the system itself that has created what The Economist magazine last week headlined as 'The Great American Slowdown' and its awesome negative impact on the world economy. 'This week the world's leading banks – represented by the Institute of International Finance – concurred with a conclusion long ago reached by the rest of the world: they screwed up, the credit crisis is largely their fault, and everybody else is suffering for their errors.,' the editors said, adding, 'The admission may not be enough to prevent a dangerous backlash.'
The editors correctly note that while there is some fraud involved in the current credit crisis that's not the real reason it is happening. However, they said there is a 'caricature' afoot in the public mind of 'an industry populated by clever crooks who manufactured toxic derivatives of subprime loans, repackaged them to look succulent, and sold them to greedy fools.' After all, the banks are losing money now. 'But most people are looking not at the banks' losses but at the bankers' gains,' the editors observed. 'They have noticed that when the music stopped … some of the dance partners left the floor with their pockets stuffed with cash, while others went home to lock up the houses they no longer owned and post the keys back to the bankers. Ordinary citizens, far from any subprime loan, have found themselves asking whether their savings are safe, why it is suddenly so hard to get a mortgage, and why the stock market numbers keep flashing red.'
By accepting much of the blame and proposing various measures to get its house in order, the banking industry hopes to avoid further regulation,' read the April 12 editorial. 'The political atmosphere has become too febrile for that: the mob is at the gates baying for justice.'
At this point in my reading, I chow down another piece of pita and check to make sure I was reading the salmon-colored Financial Times and not one of the socialist publications that arrive in my mailbox. But they wouldn't stop. The bankers' owning up to the havoc they have engendered 'may blunt a few pitchforks and snuff out a blazing torch or two.'
A dangerous backlash, a mob outside Wall Street baying for justice, pitchforks and blazing torches? Of course, the esteemed editors were only speaking metaphorically. But they were talking about something real; there is a political backlash under way in the country and abroad. The representatives of capitalism discussed the probability of something like this when they huddle in
But they are feeling the disgruntled-ness. They may have been tuned in to the 72 year old woman on Social Security who told the San Francisco Chronicle last week that she's now paying $5 for a small bottle of peanut oil that used to sell for two or three dollars and, 'I think we're almost in a depression. Like the man in the movie said, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore."
Whether it's just the normal working of capitalism, which does produce economic downturns every so often, or – in today's common rendering – the new capitalism, turbo capitalism, super capitalism, casino capitalism, caravansary capitalism, or the like, the system now operating is failing people. And it's not the subprime mortgage crisis. That's a result of the dysfunction, not the cause. Soaring oil and food prices and rising income inequality weren't caused by the hardworking African American woman who was told that housing prices would continue to rise and therefore she had nothing to worry about even if her credit score wasn't first-rate. She's a victim.
It's not unexpected that those at the pinnacle of the system's financial power become apprehensive about the consequences of brewing crisis when the workers start buying tar and sharpening their pitchforks – so to speak. The growing mortgage crisis has been apparent for almost two years. That the economy was slowing and would soon affect employment rates has been obvious for equally as long. For months we have been told it's just a credit crunch and financial advisors have been counseling holders of retirement accounts that everything that goes down must come up as if it were
It is now estimated that this year 2.2 million mortgage holders will lose their homes and housing prices will continue to fall 10 to 20 percent more, wiping out, after a lifetime of labor, the assets of many, many people.
The employment figures are out for March and guess who took one of the biggest hits? According to Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, young African American 'were among the hardest hit groups' with their employment population ratio falling to 19.7 percent, 'the lowest level since it hit the same number in June of 2003, which in turn was the lowest level since March of 1984.'
The new jobless report 'removes any doubt that the economy is in a recession, with the private sector now shedding jobs at a rate that may exceed 100,000 per month,' wrote Baker. 'With real wages declining, and the plunge in house prices destroying home equity at more than a $2.5 trillion annual rate, it is likely that the rate of job loss will accelerate in the months ahead.'
'The nation's infrastructure is aging and in many places decrepit. Rebuilding it would be an important source of job creation, but nothing on the scale that is needed is in sight.'
Certainly not from the current Congress. The Democratic Party leadership there can't even come up with the courage to force through improvement in unemployment benefits which Nobel Prize winner economist Joseph Stiglitz says should be emphasized in any economic stimulus measures.
And the Presidential candidates? There have been some specific proposals but most have to do with supposedly avoiding another crisis like this one in the future after this one has supposedly ended. For the Democrats the rhetoric is still too much I-feel-your-pain and too little urgent resolve. 'Hold on, I'm coming' is fine but January 2009 is a long way off.
'We now are looking at one of the greatest real estate busts of all time,' Allen Sinai, chief global economist for the consulting group Decision Economics Inc., told the New York Times writer Peter Goodman 'The free market is not geared to take care of the casualties, because there's no profit motive. There's no market incentive to deal with the unemployed or those who have lost their homes.'
'The bright new financial system – for all its talented participants, for all its rich rewards – has failed the test of the marketplace,' former Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volker said recently. Addressing the Economic Club of New York last week, he said the new form of capitalism has created 'a demonstrably fragile financial system that has produced unimaginable wealth for some, while repeatedly risking a cascading breakdown of the system as a whole.'
Meanwhile, the political backlash is coming from the people facing economic precariousness, if not dire conditions. Any politician that denies that there is bitterness and anger out there is indeed out of touch.

Remember Me
The first-ever Delphos Zombie Walk will be held on Sunday (rain date Oct. 21). Zombies will congregate at the corner of Fifth and Main streets at 4 p.m. The walk will begin at 5 p.m. For the "Newly-Deads," the Zombie Walk is a fun and simple concept – dress in the best (or worst) Zombie gear, bring a donation of canned goods for a local food pantry, lurch and grunt down the street with the other zombies while staying in character, on the hunt for — brains. The walk will finish at Brentily's Steak House for the official Zombie Walk after-party! There will also be a 50/50 drawing and prizes for "Best Dressed," "Scariest," "Funniest," "Most Original" and "Cutest" (child's division) zombie costumes. The walk is a family-friendly event. Everyone is invited to dress up and participate in the walk, just donate some canned goods or watch as Zombies take over Main Street. "America's Friendliest City" is about to become "America's Scariest City!"More details at http://www.facebook.com/delphoszombiewalk and http://www.facebook.com/mytowndelphosohio

Don't forget m-commerce when designing for the holidays.
It was just a few days ago, Friday, Nov. 12, to be exact, when I heard my first Christmas carol of the season. Every year a Chicago radio station changes its regular programming to 24/7 Christmas music. While scanning the radio in the car I hit the station and the effect was like Pavlov's dog—I heard those jingle bells and my mood immediately notched up a few levels, happy and ready for the season, even if we hadn't yet neared Thanksgiving.
In retail this year, we're seeing a trend of merchants offering Black Friday deals weeks before the hurly-burly of the day after Thanksgiving hits. And some retailers are already decorating their e-commerce sites with ornaments and snowflakes and other holiday fare. Like the Christmas carols on the radio, everything is being moved up the calendar, earlier and earlier.
If you're a merchant, I assume you're more than ready for the holidays and now into seasonal selling. But have you overlooked anything? Perhaps something small, like, say, your mobile site?
In routine cruising around the mobile web, I haven't seen any changes to m-commerce sites like I have to e-commerce sites. Maybe it's a little early yet. But I have to wonder if m-commerce design has been taken into consideration like e-commerce design. Would a holiday theme in any way work well for your products and consequently your m-commerce site or app? If so, do you have one created and ready to go? And if so, how come it's not already up yet?
You must understand that consumers are engaging in m-commerce and will be using their phones this holiday season in a massive way. Smartphones offer users the entire Internet in the palm of their hands. These tremendous devices will become personal shopping assistants, helping consumers compare prices, locate stores, earn rewards points when entering a store thanks to location-based apps, and perform all sorts of tasks.
What can make your mobile site a regular destination this holiday season? An exceptional customer experience, which begins with design. First impressions mean a lot, so wow holiday shoppers with a great look because you'll be catching them right in the middle of their holiday activities, and the more festive you are, the more likely you are to make a favorable impression on shoppers. Perhaps you could even incorporate sound into the design with a snippet of a holiday song. There's a strong link between music and smartphones, after all. Just a thought from someone already having a Christmas carol binge.
If you've been busy trimming the big tree, don't forget about the little one. Mobile is a key player this holiday season, and you want to look sharp. Deck the halls!
Dedicated mobile commerce sites for smartphones and tablets and mobile apps are unparalleled in providing ...

Jacobsen Salt Co. Chuck Williams' Turkey Herbs Flake Salt

A sprinkling of high-quality salt can make any dish simply sing. For its flavorful finishing salts, Jacobsen Salt Co. gathers water from pristine Netarts Bay, on the rugged Oregon coastline.

The medium to large flakes are perfect for seasoning the turkey at a holiday meal as well as stuffing and other sides. The salt is sold separately or as a set with a Jacobsen logo-stamped stoneware salt cellar, hand thrown by a small ceramics studio in Portland using local clay and food-safe, lead-free glazes.
