Portland Increases City Hall security
Security upgrades seek to balance open government with protecting facilities, employees and visitors
SUMMARY: Government | Now open and lightly guarded, some buildings will tighten up
Mayor Tom Potter promised to make city government more open, but he's also making municipal buildings harder for the general public to enter.
Per Potter's instructions, the City Council will sign off this week on a new security contract --and, in turn, a tighter network of security --for City Hall and other municipal buildings. Among the new precautions coming over the next few months: Fewer entrances and more armed guards.
"I felt security at City Hall and the Portland Building was totally inadequate," said Potter, a former Portland police chief. "The fact that nothing has happened here, I think we've been damn lucky. I don't want to wait for something to happen to make changes."
At first blush, Portland City Hall seems a remarkably open and inviting place, at least as far as government facilities go. Visitors don't have to sign in, empty their bags or walk through a metal detector. The only armed guard in the building works in the mayor's third-floor suite.
The people in charge of city safety don't like to talk about other precautions, but they're there. Not-quite-hidden cameras keep watch over much of City Hall, for example, and there are strategically placed panic buttons to summon armed help if needed. In more than one elected official's office, secretaries keep pictures of a few of the more regular and potentially dangerous visitors. The mayor's guard keeps in constant contact with the Portland Police Bureau.
But getting in and out of City Hall and the neighboring Portland Building, home to almost 1,500 city employees, is relatively easy. There's good reason: City leaders want to encourage the public to participate in government. Anyone, for example, can sign up to speak before the weekly Wednesday morning City Council meeting. This year, city commissioners began throwing monthly First Thursday parties that are open to constituents.
There are usually art exhibits in the Portland Building and in City Hall: A giant, light-catching mobile dedicated to former Mayor Vera Katz is permanently installed in the north atrium, along with a big red mattress for viewing it while lying down. At the moment, a 35-by-22-foot blanket made of recycled plastic hangs on the south side of the building. A computer screen offers guests a photographic tour of old Portland.
Potter has recently started wearing his city ID badge --featuring his name, picture and job description --in the hopes that other city employees will get the hint to do the same. But he says he wants to make sure that the public still feels welcome.
"This is not going to keep people from coming inside," he said. "That is not the goal."
Instead, the mayor and other city leaders hope to strike a balance between welcoming taxpayers and keeping city workers safe. They'll spend $200,000 this year adding new optic scanners and other technology and $1.1 million annually on a new, consolidated city security force, including more armed guards.
That's an increase of about $100,000 annually on what the city was spending. Under the old, pre-Potter security plan, Portland police officers protected the mayor. Potter wants them fighting crime, not guarding him.
Seven companies bid for the new city contract, which includes guarding City Hall, the Portland Building, a number of city parks and ball fields, Albina Yards, the 1900 Building and Union Station. The winner, First Response Inc., has pledged to work with the current provider, DePaul Industries, to help ensure that the people currently working security in city government still have jobs. DePaul specializes in finding steady, decent-paying work for people with disabilities.

Don't Forget About Today's Free Health Care Clinic (10/23-26)
The Cheap Bastard knows he mentioned this last week, but now that it's just a day away he wants to remind those of you who don't have much in the way of money/employment and others of you who have been putting off seeing a doctor that there will be a FREE HEALTH CARE CLINIC AT KEY ARENA Thursday (that's tomorrow) through Sunday.
Based on the information I have from the Key Arena web site, it starts at 5:30 each day. That sounds a bit far-fetched, but the King County Clinic web site about the event says that admission numbers will start being distributed at 3:30 a.m. each day. Remember, it's first come, first served and the goal is to see at least 1,000 patients per day. Given the sad state of affairs when it comes to access to medical care in this country, I'm willing to bet that far more people than that will show up each day.
Other important stuff to know:
You don't need ID or proof of citizenship to qualify.
There will be free parking (in the 1st Ave. N and Thomas Street Parking Garage)
All services are free
Please pass this information on to all the people you know who need care. These don't come around that often and they can make a big difference.
Get Free Music From the Seattle Public Library
Here's something cool for Seattle Public Library cardholders: free music downloads.
As if it weren't cool enough that you can get free passes to area museums and check out movies for up to two weeks at a time (without a late fee), you can now download up to five tunes a week through the online service Freegal FREE.
In fact, I did just that right before I posted this deal and am currently listening to three songs by one of my favorite local groups, Uncle Bonsai ("The Baby's Head is an Hexagon," "Where's My Puppy?" and "Heaven on Earth") as well as more recent hits "All About that Base" by Meghan Trainor and "Pompeii" by Bastille.
All you have to do is create your own account on the SPL web site, then do a search for Freegal and pick your favorites. They don't expire and you can download them to itunes. Check out Freegal to see what's available.
A Public Service Message About….Ebola
The Cheap Bastard isn't just about saving money. He's also about providing a public service. Sure, he likes to tell jokes and poke fun at stuff, but there are times when he feels it's necessary to step into the fray, make a quick, helpful comment, then back away and let the fur fly.
Today is just one such day.
After weeks of hearing everyone whip themselves into a froth over ebola, he felt it was time to put this thing into perspective with a fast, easy quiz for his readers. He truly hopes that the quiz from an actual medical professional will do just that.
That is all. Show's over. Go on about your business.
It's Seattle Restaurant Week: 3 Course Lunches For $15
The folks who love Seattle Restaurant Week always sing the praises of the dinner deal where diners can get a three course meal for $30 at some of the city's finest eateries, but what they often forget to mention is that many of those same restaurants are offering three-course lunches for $15, which is a far more approachable price than $30 later in the evening.
Not all of the 100 or so restaurants involved in the semi-annual restaurant fest are offering lunch, but the list of places to lunch include the Dahlia Lounge, The Georgian, Serafina and Ray's Cafe. The Seattle Restaurant Week site offers a more complete list for ladies (and others) who lunch.
Who knows? I just might see you there.
And, just in case you were wondering, Seattle Restaurant Week runs Oct. 19-23 and Oct. 26-30.
Drinks 50% Off at Peet's After Noon All Month
It's late, I'm tired and I could really use some caffeine. Too bad the Peet's Coffee & Tea over in Greenlake isn't still open. If only it were, I would seriously consider going there and taking advantage of a month long special where you can get any drink for half off after noon (with coupon)
Considering that it's 10 p.m., I imagine the special would still be going.
Too bad it's closed. I guess I'll just have to make it myself. Or I could always go to bed.
Nancy Pearl Live at Bryant Corner Cafe on Tuesdays
If you love books, I mean really love books, I was just reminded of a cool free event that just started taking place every Tuesday at the Bryant Corner Cafe.Nancy Pearl, the author of "Book Lust" and the city's favorite librarian, has begun doing live recordings of her podcast "That Stack of Books" every Tuesday at 10 a.m. The live recordings go an hour and it just so happens that Tuesday is the same day that cookies are half off.
What better way to spend a rainy fall morning than talking about books with Nancy Pearl over a cup of coffee and a cookie?
The Bryant Corner Cafe is located at 3118 NE 65th St.
Although the Cheap Bastard is on assignment next week, he hopes to see you there the following week.
If you want to hear a podcast, check out the first one from the cafe here.
Free Health Care Clinic At Key Arena 10/23-26
Obama Care may have brought affordable health care to more people than had it before, but there are still folks who are falling through the cracks because they still can't afford to see a doctor until things get really bad. Fortunately, there are occasional events like this one coming up next week that can help out until things get better.
The information I have says that more than 50 health, human service and civic organizations from all over the state will be coming together to produce the Seattle/King County Clinic with Remote Area Medical from Oct. 23-26 and provide a wide range of FREE dental, medical and vision care to those who can't typically afford it (which it refers to as "underserved populations"). Although it lists the date, it doesn't list a time. So, if you're interested in this, you'll probably want to get there early.
Really early.
At the same time, there will be a FREE resource fair at the Seattle Center Armory on the 25th and 26th that's designed to help individuals and families find health, social service and human service providers that might be able to help them with continuing needs. It's called HealthFest and its offerings will include free flu shots, nutrition demonstrations and help navigating the world of health care insurance.
It isn't often the Cheap Bastard lists cheap medical stuff, but when he does, you can bet it's going to be something good. Like this.

Morning Joke Gives Helicopter Harold Free Air Time!
Helicopter Harold Ford Jr., the darling of the Morning Starbucks with Joe show, was just given a nice hunk of time to give his campaign pitch. He went unchallenged, defended the banks and apparently is going on Joe's radio show later. Isn't that sweet?
Earlier on the show, Scarborough somehow managed to segue from the Haiti disaster to one of his cherry picked polls showing Obama down, which I've been trying to find, but I noticed the fine print at the bottom that had a +/- of 4.8%, which is an awfully high margin of error and points to a sample of probably 400 people or so. I'm working on a post about polls and I'm going to go out on a limb and say things are looking good for democrats next year and in 2012, contrary to the spin the conservative media is trying desperately to sell.

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Seeking info on William S Tower, b1865 or 1866 in Indiana, married Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" Eyrse in about 1907 and lived in Cottonwood Twp, Cumberland County, Illinois.
They divorced by 1910 and I don't know what happened to him but I wonder if he is the one who remarried in Union, Tippecanoe, Indiana by the 1920 census.
Does anyone recognize him?

SILVIS, Ill. – Zach Johnson and William McGirt were at 12-under-par 130 and tied for the lead at the halfway point of the John Deere Classic.
They were a stroke ahead of Steven Bowditch, Johnson Wagner and Brian Harman.
Three-time Deere winner Steve Stricker shot a 65 Friday for a 133 total to vault into contention at the par-71 TPC Deere Run, and was tied for sixth with Rory Sabbatini, Ryan Moore and Todd Hamilton.
Johnson, the Deere winner in 2012, shot a 4-under 67 in the afternoon despite two bogeys in his last four holes. That dropped him into a tie with McGirt.
McGirt, 35, is looking for his first PGA Tour victory.
He added a 66 to his opening 64, but like Johnson, he finished with a bogey. McGirt's best finish this year is a tie for sixth in the Northern Trust Open at Riviera. Since then, he's had one top 10 and has missed the cut in seven of 14 tournaments.
McGirt is winless on the PGA Tour in 111 starts, most of them in the last four years. His best finishes are a pair of ties for second in the Canadian Open, in 2012 and 2013.
Asked how he'd gotten to 12 under and the lead on Friday, he said, I couldn't tell you what happened.
Four birdies in a row and seven in a stretch of nine holes happened.
One thing McGirt hasn't been doing well recently is sinking putts, but he's needed only 24 in each of the first two rounds.
For some reason I'm able to see the line this week, McGirt said. I feel I've putted better the last few weeks and haven't holed anything.
EUROPEAN: In Aberdeen, Scotland, Rory McIlroy surrendered the lead at the Scottish Open with a second-round meltdown, leaving three players tied for first place on a day when brutal winds played havoc with the field.
Kristoffer Broberg of Sweden, Argentina's Ricardo Gonzalez and Marc Warren of Scotland were atop the leader board at 6 under on the par-71 Royal Aberdeen links course.
McIlroy shot a course-record 64 in the first round but followed it up with a 78. Justin Rose signed for a 68 and is alone in fourth place, a shot behind. Defending champion Phil Mickelson is 1 under after a 73.
U.S. SENIOR OPEN: In Edmond, Oklahoma, Colin Montgomerie remained in front after the second day of action at the U.S. Senior Open.
The Scotsman had an even-par 71 and is 6 under for the tournament, good for a one-stroke lead over Scott Dunlap.
Bernhard Langer took sole possession of the lead with a birdie on 14 but netted bogeys on 15, 16 and 18 to finish tied for third at 4 under. He is tied with Gene Sauers, who shot 69 on both the first two days.
Quinn Griffing, a teaching pro at Donald Ross in Fort Wayne, shot a 8-over 79 for a 160 total. He missed the cut.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a rare island of stability in a sea of extremist-fueled turmoil. But this blessing comes with a burden.
"Jordan's real crisis is not the threat of encroaching extremism, but the grinding weight of hosting victims from the region's various humanitarian emergencies. The technical name for this is a "protracted refugee crisis"—a burden that Jordan uniquely bears as host to more than a million refugees and asylum seekers from surrounding conflicts," writes Pulitzer Center grantee Alice Su in her story for The Atlantic.

O Captain! My Captain!
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;Here Captain! dear father!The arm beneath your head!It is some dream that on the deck,You've fallen cold and dead.My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;Exult O shores, and ring O bells!But I with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.

Ad giants McCann commissioned photographer Nick Meeks to create a visionary campaign for SONY's new 4K TV. The new 4k promises to have a picture quality 4x's the resolution of standard HDTV.
I'd have to say he hit this assignment out of the park - because it doesn't seem real - the millions of flower petals that were blasted into the air in Costa Rica to showcase the beauty of their new 4K. It took the creative team and the entire village 2 weeks to pluck the 8 million flower petals that symbolize the 8 million pixel display of the 4K tv.
Sony says, "to see the real depth and detail of each petal gliding in the air, floating on the water, or blowing in the streets, you need to see it on one of their new 4K televisions in a showroom near you." - of course…there's the catch. But as incredible as it looks in 1080p, I think I'm willing to do that.

The last entry saw me waiting in Porto Novo, Benin, for my new wheel to arrive. I had checked in to the Da Silva Museum of Afro-Brazilian culture as they had a couple of rooms and it seemed like an interesting place to stay. In the end though it turned into a form of beningn prison. I've got to say that Africa seems to be turning me into a right Tory as every community project enterprise I've come across with has been sloppily run by couldn't care less staff. And alas the Musee Da S was the same. The room was dirty and staff occassionally tried to stiff me for unwarranted tips. With an immobile bike I had little choice but to stay. It was made less joyfull still by the fact that they refused to let me leave bags and bike there as left luggage whilst I explored the rest of Benin. So when the wheel arrived I was overjoyed.
Or I should say when I went and collected the wheel, for having paid almost as much as to fly home and pick the thing up myself I had to chase Fedex up and they were most surprised at the notion that they should have called me when it arrived and that they might actually be expected to deliver it. Being a Friday afternoon and with the office to close for the weekend I had to hotfoot it to the major city of Cotonou to pick up. So delighted was I that I celebrated in a nice restaurant with a side of beef in roquefort sauce, a pastis and several ales. I arrived back to the room half cut, carrying my large box of wheel in component form and at midnight decided the best thing to do was to build it there and then.
I've never built a motorcycle wheel though I used to work as a cycle mechanic and have laced a few of those together, so thought it couldn't be too difficult. I guess normally it's not but in a mild state of innebriation it was trickier than expected. The difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle wheel build seems to be that the bicycle one is easy to lace up and hard to true whereas the opposite is true of a motorcycle. Several half builds and then dismantlings later it was three am and the wheel was ready to put in the bike to true up.
The next day with beers slept off all was easy and the bike got a good service too. And the next morning after that it was au revoir to my friends at the museum and on the road to Abomey.
All went well on the ride bar a minor starting difficulty. Abomey was one of the ancient kingdoms of Benin and known for their human sacrifices, slave trading and general fearsome ways. Having visited the largest palace and museum there I can attest that they were indeed bloodthirsty, cruel and gratuitous. The king's throne mounted on four skulls of enemy chiefs is one of the famous exhibits there. The Abomey Kingdom also resisted French rule for a number of years which has made them national symbols of resistance to this day. That they killed and enslaved many of their neighbours in modern day Benin seems to pass by unoticed! Sadly though no museum in Benin allows photos, either inside or out, even if it just a mudbrick building so I can bring you no pictures of the treasures therein. I asked why and was told that photography damaged the exhibits; I decided it wasn't an argument worth having. So instead of photos of the great imperial structures I give you two images of the local woodcarving tradition. The chap above with a large member, devils horns and a very simple look on his face is supposed to be placed at the entrance of your house and will ward away evil. Not sure how but I'm told he will. The bird I don't know the function of but it is mildly disturbing and would be more likely to scare me off if I had evil intent.
Riding North the ignition trouble got worse. In the town of Natitingou right in the North, close to the Burkinese border it became evident that carrying on as was was not an option. On top of this the bike was blowing exhaust gas past the piston into the crankcase. I stayed for a couple of days, perplexed and somewhat demoralised having just spent so long in Porto Novo. Then decided to ship back down to Cotonou to sort things out. A couple of days in a nice hotel with a pool and good food and I had inspiration, shifted to a cheapy and fixed the bike. At this point I had been considering shipping home and got Sascha's hopes up that I would be home soon, only to dash them by fixing the bike (sorry Sasch....)
An email to magneto wizard Sean Hawker and the synopsis was weakened magnets and a suggestion for rigging up an auxiliary ignition system through the battery. Thus I created a veritable Frankenstien's monster of an ignition system. Many thanks for the rapid help Sean......
Bike nerds note the exhaust blowing past the piston was caused by a pattern points set with a different to original-profiled cam follower which advanced the timing slightly.
With a fresh sparking plug I headed back up to Natitingou and made it in a day. The longest yet at 540km. One more day and I was in Ougadougou. This was really motoring. A day to get the Mali visa and then on to Bobo Dialosso for a spot of sightseeing. The city is noted for its mud-brick mosque.
The old quarter is also fascinating with it's Muslim and animist quarters. I was shown the sorgum beer brewery. It looked unpalatable but had a great nutty aroma. Sadly or perhaps luckily a batch wasn't ready for me to sample. In the old quarter I bought the first souvenir since South Africa, a scarey voudou figure of a man with several flat nails through him and bound in cotton. I was told it gave good luck....
I checked the spark plug before I left and found that the electrode had burnt out. I looked at it and realised it was a dodgy fake and I had thrown away my old and worn but still working plugs. So off to the market to find some fresh ones. A Bosch and it looked OK so off we went.
My voudou protector was obviously crap because after a couple of hundred kms the bike made a loud bang and I was hit in the arm by half a spark plug. It was still attached to the HT lead and like a tazer gun the remains of the bare electrode delivered a serious of sharp shocks.
I was worried that the other half of the plug might still be in the engine but a new one fitted and all seemed well. Except then the exhaust gas past the piston problem came back with a vengeance. The next day with a mildly limping bike I was in Bamako. A few days left before my pledge to be home at Easter expired and still a long way to go. I went through it all in my mind. Glazed cylinder bore, dodgey spark plugs and an absolutely worn out chain and sprocket. I would have to get parts from England. Another week at least and then at least four to get back and that if there were no further problems. To set off as it was, even though the problems were minor and easily sorted with a few parts, for a ten day ride across the Sahara would be foolhardy.
The decision arrived at was ship home. I had really looked forward to turning up back at home on the bike but with a pining fiancee on the verge of mutiny, several bike problems and to be honest a real wish to be home myself, flying looked like a good option. Crating the bike up at Bamako airport was a real chore but happened in the end, though not cheap, and I fly home myself tomorrow.
I've been left with a few days to explore Bamako. To be honest there's not a great deal here for the tourist. The Grand Market by the Grand Mosque has a gruesome witchcraft fetish section bizarrely situated right in front of the mosque. The stalls are not for the feint hearted with every variety of animal head and pelt represented along with a fearsome stench that embraces you if you linger too long. Sadly even rarer species are there. It opens a whole debate about conservation, exploitation and preservation. Many of the species are endangered but that doesn't prevent them being there. There're a series of issues around preservation and exploitation and the efficacy of outright hunting bans, but perhaps this is for another time and place. The sad fact though is that hunting obviously goes on extensively, wildlife is diminishing and people resort to traditional medicine because 'scientific modern' medicine in the region is scarce and expensive and counterfeit drugs useless and manifest.
A whole year in Africa, sixteen months on the road and some 30,000 kilometers covered. I shalln't go into a mawkish 'how it has changed me and what I've learnt' diatribe (that can be saved for anyone sharing a beer with me over the next few months!) but it's been an incredible ride, tough at times a real holiday at others and I wouldn't have changed a thing.
Hopefully though the story is not over. I'm treating shipping the bike back to the UK the same as the time it was shipped on from Malawi to South Africa. I'll return sometime in the near future and ride that last 8000kms!

The National Museum of Commercial Aviation sends visitors into the friendly skies without ever leaving the ground. Inside the 6,000-square-foot facility rests a collection of more than 35,000 artifacts from airlines and facilities dating as far back as the 1930s. Glass cases house a variety of dishes and flatware from mile-high kitchens, as well as timetables and ticket jackets. Meanwhile, mannequins display 200 vintage uniforms for pilots and attendants alike. Visitors can take a seat inside a Delta Airlines 727 familiarization trainer, replete with switches, gauges, and buttons. Inside they can attempt realistic take-offs and landings while navigating the Microsoft Flight Simulator housed within. The museum is also home to one of the first tug tractors, a Gate Gourmet catering truck, and the cockpit of the Eastern Airlines Martin 404 once used by singer and musician Ray Charles to travel from gig to gig along with his three million baby grand pianos.
VN Pho Vietnamese Restaurant's prix fixe package allows groups of diners to pick from its menu's crunchiest appetizer rolls, most savory pho noodle dishes, and most refreshing bubble teas. Diners begin by choosing between the beach-going crustaceans stuffed into shrimp spring rolls or the fawningly polite minced pork packed into fried egg rolls. Pho noodle bowls, such as the noodle soup with eye-round steak and meatballs, contain winding layers of white-rice noodles topped with thin slices of beef, all swimming in a slow-simmered beef-and-bone-marrow broth and grabbing at flavorful life preservers of cilantro and green onions. Flood your mouth with succulent straw-borne mango, coconut, or green-tea flavors while sipping greedily from bubble teas, whose smooth-tasting liquidity leads economists to theorize that the tea's deliciousness has become detached from its ingredient value.
Since equipping the world with its first wood-slat recliner in 1928, La-Z-Boy has branded itself as a well-known producer of high-quality furniture, including their signature recliner, loveseats, ottomans, upholstered sofas, accent tables, and much more. The Urbana oval end table ($249 and up) is genetically engineered to keep junk mail off the ground and blocks the couch's attempts to stretch out into the hall. A host of recliners, sofas, sectionals, the demi stationary chair and sleepers are also waiting to invade homes with their tasteful presence.
We sell REAL Ice Cream!!!! Probably the most freshest product on the market i.e. not 6-10 months old usually found in Supermarkets. At any given time, we serve up to 24 flavors of ice cream, plus yogurt, sorbet, sherbet and Italian ices.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

Ellis was not this production's first pilot. "The truth is Michael Wilson was involved at the beginning and Michael's schedule got mixed up," explained Ellis. The producers called him up. "They said. 'Michael can't do it, would you be interested?'"
This will be Ellis' first stab at a Kaufman and Hart play, and it will be Broadway's first staging in more than 30 years. The most recent rendition was director Ellis Rabb's 1983 production, which starred Jason Robards, Jr., Elizabeth Wilson, James Coco, Colleen Dewhurst and Maureen Anderman and has taken on the air of legend in the ensuing years.
"It's pretty spectacular," said Ellis, who has seen a tape of the production.
A lot has changed, of course, since 1936, when George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart concocted the farce, which put forth a kind of live-and-let-live, gentle collectivism as the cure for all life's ills during The Great Depression. The Vanderhof household doesn't much care what's going on outside their door, as long as everyone inside is content and feels cared for.
Nielsen is not so sure. "This play is about collectivism," she said. "It is socialism. It is 'take care of each other.'"

This year, the holiday season will have 26 days between Black Friday and Christmas (one more day from last year and five fewer than 2012). The (short) holiday season is upon us and as a business owner, is your website ready for what is to come? According to IBM's 2014 Online Retail Holiday Readiness Report, this year consumers will be spending more time online during the holidays, but will be spending less time on retail sites, in part because they're more often on mobile phones and tablets. So, how can you prepare your website for holiday shoppers? Here's a short list of what NOT to do:
1. Don't make it difficult to find products.
You need to guide your customers to purchase your products and not a competitors. The most important factor is to make sure the path to finding a product is as clear as possible. To do this make sure you have your site search up and running. To really make it easy for your customers, integrate with a custom search refinement tool such as Nextopia with auto-fill search results.
2. Don't disregard mobile and tablet users.
Mobile commerce will account for 33 percent of U.S. online holiday sales. In addition, 40% of last year's Black Friday's online shopping was on mobile. So this means you need to make sure your site is mobile and tablet friendly. If your site only renders beautifully on a desktop, you will see high bounce rates and low conversions for tablet and mobile users, which means lost revenue.
Unsure about responsive design? Check out what you ought to know about responsive design in our infographic.
3. Don't have a confusing add to cart/check out process.
You need to make sure the process from adding a product to the cart and checking out is as seamless and easy as possible. When someone adds an item to a cart and continues shopping, there should be a shortcut at the top of the site to indicate there is something in the cart. In addition, the checkout process should be one page. There are pros and cons as marketers to having a multi-page vs. a one page checkout, but as a consumer, we all want a one page, simple checkout process.
4. Don't have outdated images/products featured.
Unless the summer clothes are 95% off, don't feature them on the homepage. In addition, make sure you're not out of stock on hot ticket items or featured products. If you get someone to your website and they find that you are out of what you are marketing, they will more than likely not buy from you, or ever come back to your site for that matter.
5. Don't lack incentives.
73% of online shoppers noted unconditional free shipping as "critical" to a purchase. It is highly recommended to work out a plan to offer free shipping over $X. For example, if your average order value is around $150, offer free shipping on orders over $175 to encourage customers to add one more item to their cart to get the free shipping incentive.
To wrap up, what you need to remember is this:
- Utilize customized search refinement tools
- Ensure your site is ready for mobile and tablet shoppers with a responsive design
- Make sure your add to cart button stands out and indicates when an item is added to a cart
- Double check that your checkout process is easy and functioning
- Feature hot ticket items on the homepage and make sure they are IN STOCK
- Offer free shipping
With that, we wish you a happy holiday season! If you need our expertise with ecommerce design or digital marketing, contact us and we will be glad to help you optimize your site for a successful onsite shopping experience. Have follow up questions? Drop us a line in the comments section below!
