Amazon.com seems to be eyeing a lot of possibilities with Prime Pantry, a service that lets Amazon Prime members order up to 45 pounds of canned or packaged items — cereal, paper towels, soft drinks, etc. — and get it shipped to their homes for a flat rate of $5.99.
The service, which launched in late April, targets the mass market for nonperishable groceries. Analysts say it's a stab at rivals such as Costco (NASDAQ:COST) and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT).
Observers say it also lays the groundwork for a national grocery delivery service along with AmazonFresh, a test program that offers same-day or next-day delivery of perishables and other groceries. That service is being tested in Seattle, Los Angles and San Francisco.

Prime Pantry offers an additional perk for Amazon Prime members, at a time when Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is pushing to keep people in the program after this year's hike in the annual membership fee, to $99 from $79.
Basically, Pantry is "part of Amazon's larger strategy to become a much bigger player in grocery" deliveries, says Bill Bishop, chief architect of retail technology consulting firm Brick Meets Click.
Tried By 3% Of Respondents
But there's evidence Pantry is falling a bit flat with consumers, who either don't know about the program or don't plan to try it.
A mid-May survey by research firm Bizrate Insights, a unit of online retail site Shopzilla, found that 66.7% of 1,762 consumers polled nationwide didn't know about Amazon Pantry, while fewer than 3% had tried out the service. Only 7.5% said they planned to try the service, though only 23% totally ruled it out, the poll found.
About 25% of the respondents were Amazon Prime members.
"The majority of Amazon Prime members in our survey didn't know what Amazon Pantry is," Hayley Silver, vice president of Bizrate, told IBD. "There was confusion over other Amazon offers like AmazonFresh or grocery subscriptions.
"There's not a lot of knowledge and awareness. (Amazon Pantry) can't move the needle if it lacks awareness."
Silver says Prime members could be confused by the many recent announcements from Amazon touting new services and perks for Prime. "Some Prime members recalled getting an email from Amazon about Pantry, but it just didn't resonate," Silver said.
Among those who said they had no plans to try Pantry, Silver says some may have been turned off by the $5.99 delivery fee.
4-Cubic-Foot Box
Also, she says, it might be difficult for some users to calculate how many grocery items equal 45 pounds of goods and can fit into the 4-cubic-foot box in which Pantry items are delivered.
Silver also says Pantry's market could be limited.
"It seems the audience for Amazon Pantry would be somebody without a car or who lives very far from stores like CVS or Target, or with another inhibitor that would stop them from getting these items on their own," she said.
On the upside, analysts say Prime Pantry offers a way for Amazon to popularize online sales of items like pet food, diapers and canned soup, which before had to be ordered in bulk to qualify for free, two-day shipping under Prime.
Prime Pantry items are being offered with special discount coupons, helping cut costs for users.
Brick Meets Click's Bishop says a survey of 22,000 customers conducted by his firm at the end of 2013 showed that the AmazonFresh grocery service was used by 39% of households who had bought groceries online from various providers in the 30 days before the poll.
"This was mainly to buy one or two items that couldn't easily be found in another place," Bishop said.
But that 39% was by far the highest tally among all the vendors, he says. "Amazon dominates in this space," Bishop said.
Bishop judges Amazon Pantry a success. He says it provides a nice benefit for those open to online grocery shopping and boosts Amazon's market share in this sector.
Coupon Clicking
But Silver sees other weaknesses in Pantry. She says Prime members need to click each coupon separately to qualify and do the math to compare the prices with other online delivery services.
"It's an extra step consumers have to take," said Silver, who notes that typical loyalty programs at regular grocery stores automatically apply such discounts at the register without the need for such online coupon clipping.
Based on website checks, Silver says some online grocery items sold by Target (NYSE:TGT) are cheaper than identical items discounted on Amazon Pantry. Target offers free deliveries for eligible online orders that total $50 or more.
Amazon is doing more in the grocery field. In April, it unveiled Amazon Dash, a wand-shaped device that lets users add grocery items and household goods to their AmazonFresh online grocery shopping lists by speaking into the device, which is equipped with voice-recognition technology.
Users can reorder by scanning the bar codes on the wrappers of products already delivered.
The device is being distributed free to consumers participating in AmazonFresh's pilot program. Such a device could also be used to place orders for Amazon Pantry, though that's not yet the case.
AmazonFresh, Amazon Pantry and Amazon Dash could merge into a national online delivery service, with analysts expecting more announcements from the company.

Hi: 12° Lo:5°
POLICE are trying to trying to trace a good Samaritan who called for an ambulance after finding a man lying in the road with head injuries.
The passer by called the ambulance at around 8.30am after finding the injured man lying in the street on Sandown Road on Saturday (January 19).
He was taken to University Hospital in Coventry where he received treatment for facial injuries including a fractured cheek bone and damage to one of his eyes.
The injured man, who is 37-years old, initially had little recollection of what had happened to him and how he came to be injured.
But some 12 hours later, while still in hospital, he was able to tell police that he recalled being punched in the face.
Det Cons Rob Ewington is trying the establish what happened to the man and is hopinh to trace the passer-by who called the ambulance.
He said: "We do not know the man came to be injured or how long the man had been lying in the street.
"His injuries are consistent with being assaulted. We would like to speak to the man who found him as the victim was already in hospital by the time we were able to speak to him."

"Hits…we need more hits." A cry oft heard from our Editor. Far from developing some kind of 'Cowell complex' as a string of terrified pop-wannabes are paraded in front of him – he is, rather more aptly, referring to online hits.
The New Year, a time to be candid – painfully so if necessary.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, etc etc.
Hidden messages. Could there be anything more innately conspiratorial? Books, films – entire cults even – have been based on the idea that within one form of document there nestles another.
There are times, dear reader, when the miasma of lethargy within which the Science Lite team ordinarily operates is blown away. Times when our collective attention is scruffed roughly and pulled to account.
Here at the Science Lite desk we've been inundated with research that is not only interesting and worthwhile, but also manages to shatter our illusions and have us quaking in our boots. Rather than just pick one, we've chosen to share our favourites with you…
As a species we like to think we are conquerors of our own niche; that we could, if it came to it, outsmart our own extinction.
Don't look like that…it's a serious question. Because while it might sound like the best playground insult you have never heard of, it is a genuine medical condition.
Strange, is it not? The places which can inflame the imagination. The things which can spark thought. For Newton, a falling apple was all it took. A particularly contemplative bath did it for Archimedes. For the Science Lite desk… it was a broken kettle.
Spring, as they say, has most definitely sprung. As the daffodils sway gently in the breeze and lambs skip youthfully in the lush fields, nature turns her mind to all things sexual.

where to find
Where on the web could I find corningware? NOT French White but the old kind. And please no e-bay. I have had two bad experiences there. Does someone know of a site that sells it? Thank you in advance
dnaleri2 .. are you talking about the old style cookware called Blue Cornflower which can be used on top of the stove? if so, the stuff manufactured and sold today IS NOT THE SAME... it cannot be used on top of the stove. Corning dropped the line a few years back. What you see in stores comes from a company in Virginia ... World something. French White and the other styles-- is called bakeware (not cookware) and goes "from oven to table"... that's what you see at Wal-Mart.
... the following may be more than you want to know, but I found it interesting:
"Back in the sixties and seventies, who would have ever thought those simple white and blue flowered saucepans and casseroles would one day be a hot collectible? Well, perhaps they are not hot yet, but they are sought after and selling for more than one might expect. Prices should only go up. Luckily there are enough common pieces to satisfy the casual collector and for those incurable collectors among us -- As with many innovations, Corning Ware was a lab mistake. First a furnace malfunctioned -- instead of staying at 600C it rose to 900c, but surprisingly the glass didn't melt. Next mistake was when the chemist then dropped the white glass and it didn't break! These mistakes led to the creation of Pyroceram and eventually the first piece of Corning Ware in 1957. Eventually a total of seven generations of Corning Ware were produced and although the Blue Cornflower is synonymous with Corning Ware, many more patterns were produced."
Where can you find the old stuff? Yard sales, thrift shops, replacements.com (mostly dinnerware) ... and -- sorry --ebay.
it was only a few years ago that I donated my pieces to a thrift shop ... too bad -- I could have put it on ebay and you could have bought it. Good luck!!!

Thomas Fleming: What Michele Bachmann Should Have Said About Slavery
Mr. Fleming, author of "Liberty! The American Revolution" (Viking, 1997), among many other books, is a past president of the Society of American Historians.
Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann created a stir recently by insisting on television that America's Founding Fathers "worked day and night" to abolish slavery. When asked to identify one of them and say what he did on behalf of this noble cause, the only name she produced was John Quincy Adams. He was all of 9 years old when his father, John Adams, persuaded the Continental Congress to vote for independence in 1776.
Ms. Bachmann's historical gaffe notwithstanding, there is surely a legitimate question here: Was slavery a day and night preoccupation of America's top leaders during the founding era—1775 to 1800? Dismaying as it may be to many admirers of our revolutionary past, the correct response is: no.
Survival was the issue that preoccupied the Founders and their followers during the eight-year struggle against imperial Britain's mighty fleet and army. When victory dawned in the 1780s, a new worry became paramount. Gen. George Washington summed it up in a terse sentence in a letter to another Virginian: "I see one head gradually turning into thirteen."
The divisions and quarrels between the 13 former colonies were making the future of the new nation a very dubious proposition. The cost of the Revolutionary War had reduced the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation to an often derisive joke. Without the power to tax, its paper money deteriorated into worthlessness. A bankrupt Congress could not persuade, much less coerce, any state to do anything it regarded as not in its best interest....

Sinossi editore
'Palin reminds me of Samuel Johnson: driven, intellectually formidable, and spurred on by self-reproach and the wholly irrational idea that he's not really getting on with it... Palin is a seriously good writer. These diaries are full of fine phrases and sharp little sketches of scenes' -- Sam Leith DAILY MAIL 'Halfway to Hollywood is at its best when it moves from Palin's professional life to personal revelation' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'There are some fabulous and very funny snippets about Alan Bennett and Maggie Smith... the behind-the-scenes antics of the Pythons and their wider circle make great reading' THE OBSERVER 'Reading Palin's words is like putting your slippers on, clutching a cup of cocoa and settling down for a late night chat with an old friend... for anyone who enjoys with work of a competent, erudite and amusing diarist.' MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS 'This is the Michael Palin with whom the public has fallen in love. A man whose ordinary likeability makes us feel we know him, and that he is incapable of nastiness or an outburst of bad temper.' THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'it's clear why Cleese later nominated Palin as his luxury item on Desert Island Discs because... he makes such unfailingly good company... this is the agreeably written story of how a former Python laid the foundation stone by which he would reinvent himself as a public institution: the People's Palin.' THE GUARDIAN Per saperne di più…

I never considered writing a book. I just woke up one day with an idea in my head and though "why not". So here I am writing a book. I intend on this to be a series, for Kyler's adventures to get more and more difficult with each book. I will take criticism, and if you see a mistake made PLEASE tell me about it so I may fix it. Please refrain from nasty comments, I will respect you if you respect me. I hope you enjoy my books.

The Redskins prepare to host the New England Patriots at training camp and see a lot of value in lining up against one of the NFL's best teams.
Redskins Talk
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 28th round of the Major League Baseball draft Saturday.
After a mostly abysmal showing on special teams last season, standout Niles Paul believes a new coordinator and new personnel have the Redskins on the right path.
It's not breaking news that it's hot during summer afternoons in Richmond and Jay Gruden hopes to have his team beat the heat with a revised practice schedule.
Need to Know: The Redskins' depth chart is starting to take shape as they roll though OTAs. Here is a look at five hot spots.

State gambling board walks fine line on problem gamblers
The father with a car full of balloons misses his son's birthday party because he stops at the casino.
A man claims he doesn't have a gambling problem, he has a "money problem."
They're characters from a gambling-awareness media blitz that resumed as Pennsylvania lawmakers consider expanding the state's gambling industry by adding keno games. Money for the campaign, which started two years ago, comes from the state's Compulsive and Problem Gambling Treatment Fund, to which all licensed gaming entities contribute a combined minimum of $2 million a year.
Richard McGarvey, the state Gaming Control Board's spokesman, acknowledged the conflict between spending on anti-gambling messages while considering expansion. But it's usually in the casinos' best interest not to encourage problem gamblers who might leave their kid in a car or steal from an employer to support their habit, he said.
"They'd much rather avoid problem gamblers and the problems that can come with them," McGarvey said.
TV commercials, radio spots, billboards and bus shelter posters began appearing in November and are scheduled to continue through March in the regions surrounding casinos. Special ATM receipts at machines and ads at the top of gas pumps near casinos have information on how to get help with problem gambling.
The National Council on Problem Gambling estimates, based on state or regional studies, that about 2 million people nationwide are pathological gamblers. An additional 4 million to 6 million are considered problem gamblers.
Officials said studies suggest 2 percent to 3 percent of Pennsylvanians will experience a serious problem associated with gambling, including accumulating significant debt, experiencing family problems, losing a job or becoming involved in crime. It's not clear how many of those have sought treatment.
Gambling has become big business since the first casino opened in November 2006. Pennsylvania is second only to Nevada in casino revenue, and regulators say total tax revenue through June 2012 reached $6.2 billion.
In addition to adding keno games, the Gaming Control Board will hear a proposal for a casino license in Philadelphia at a public forum Feb. 12. In October, the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission approved a deal designed to help a proposed racetrack and casino called Valley View Downs open in Lawrence County.
The gambling board has other programs to help people with problems. As part of the licensing process, a casino has to develop a problem-gambling prevention plan, including training employees to recognize the signs and symptoms of addicts, McGarvey said.
The board also allows people to put their names on a statewide list indicating they should not be allowed in a casino. Violators can be arrested for trespassing. Since 2007, more than 4,000 people have signed up. Police have logged 730 violations.
Christine Cronkright, a spokeswoman in Gov. Tom Corbett's office, said calls to a gambling hot line increased 18 percent in the month the last media campaign was most active.
Tom Shaheen, vice president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which helped to spearhead a movement in the 1990s against expanding gambling in the state, said he wasn't sure how effective the latest round of messages will be, but acknowledged them as a "good use" of government money.
"(Gambling's) a real problem that's affected families," Shaheen said. "But by using a simple ad campaign to serve as a warning, like we do with cigarettes, I think it's worth doing."

Classic Car
Renault 12
This Gallic wedge brought a touch of ooh-la-la to drab 1970s Britain. Even reps loved it, says Andrew Roberts
Tuesday 04 September 2007
In the Eighties, shoppers at the Knightsbridge Sainsbury's were often treated to the sight of a black diplomatic car disgorging several menacing-looking occupants, all of whom had one target; dog biscuits. The dark-suited gentlemen belonged to the Romanian Embassy and it was their duty to buy food for the dog of their beloved leader, Nicolae Ceausescu.
What really lent the whole scene a farcical note was the embassy car – a Dacia Denem, which most Britons would have recognised as a Renault 12 clone.
When Renault embarked on project 117 in 1965, the idea was a car that had to be easy to produce, so it could be made all over the world. It had to be reliable for export and comfortable for France. It should be able to carry multiple variations. And the 12 would be front-wheel drive, with the longitudinally mounted engine ahead of the front wheels.
All this meant a prospective buyer would be faced with the 16's dash-mounted handbrake, a four-on-the-floor shift, the 1.3-litre engine from the R8 and styling that could only be described as idiosyncratic.
When the 12 debuted at the 1969 Paris show, some purists bemoaned the fact that Renault's original plans – a boot-mounted spare wheel; twin headlamps to the off side, with a single unit to the left – were abandoned in the face of marketing advice. Still, the 12 is one of few family cars that could never be called bland.
The four-door body was proudly described by Renault as "arrow-like", and for a model meant to rival the Citroë* Ami and the Simca 1100, it was surprisingly large – it was longer than a Mk 2 Cortina. But then, Renault's goal was to produce a sizeable family car of modest but respectable performance.
The 12 was launched in the UK in 1970, in time for a new era of imported cars being used by the fleet market. In the 1960s, Renault's UK sales had been healthy but it was the 12 that propelled La Régie to becoming the country's major car importer in the new decade. The Renault's robustness was a bonus; it even had a starting-handle bracket.
The 12 was also one of the most comfortable cars in the Escort sector. The bench seat of the 12L was sheer decadence, bettered only by the separate reclining articles in the 12TL.
The Renault 12 wasn't faultless – the steering was heavy, the handbrake was spectacularly awkward, it was rust-prone, and the performance wasn't great – but it was a car to be aspired to. Throughout the 1970s, Renault's UK brochures featured the tempting combination of vibrantly coloured 12TLs being lusted after by male models, all of whom hailed from the Englebert Humperdinck/Peter Wyngarde school of grooming.
From the five-door 12 Estate, to the 12TS with its foglamps and head restraints, there was a 12 for every taste, although the ultimate variant was never officially imported into the UK. The 1970 12 Gordini used the 1.6-litre engine from the 16TS, with twin double-barrel Weber carburettors, all-round disc brakes and five gears – Escort RS1600 salesmen were very thankful that a 125bhp 120mph version of the Renault 12 wasn't available with right-hand drive.
But the 12 was always meant to be a "world car", and it was built in Spain and Argentina. In Australia, the 12 was assembled in Melbourne until 1980. Meanwhile, Oyak-Renault of Turkey produced its own version until 1998. Ford of Brazil made the Corcel, a not unattractive combination of Mk 1 Escort styling with 12 underpinnings.
But the most infamous overseas 12 was produced by Dacia of Romania from 1969 onwards, with the 1300 for the hoi polloi and the 1300 Super Luxe (radio and twin wing mirrors) for the party elite. Dacia became fully independent of Renault in 1978 and attempted to sell "The Very Acceptable Dacia Denem" to a very unaccepting British public.
Meanwhile, the French-built 12 gained a minor facelift in 1975, together with the welcome option of cloth upholstery (a real sign of distinction in British suburbia in the late 1970s) prior to its replacement by the terminally bland 9 in 1981.
By the end of the 1980s the 12, together with the Fiat 127, the Datsun 160J Violet, the Simca 1204 and the Mazda 1300, seemed to be another example of a once-common import starting to vanish from the bargain section of Exchange & Mart.
Even Romanian production ceased in December 2006, in the face of EU legislation. Still, Romania gave the 12 its most recent bout of fame in the form of a bullock-driven taxi in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
But a vehicle that sold 2.5 million units deserves a more dignified memorial. In Britain, there are thousands of retired sales reps who fondly remember the day they handed back the keys to a Hillman Avenger GL to the fleet manager who then issued them a long-awaited midnight blue 12TS. Yes, now they had it all: the Harry Fenton suit, the hire-purchased ceramic hob and, most important, a reliable car with head restraints as standard. Who could possibly have asked for more?

Poor service: rail regulator's verdict on train information for passengers
Related Articles
Published: 14 December 2012
There are still too many cases of poor train information for passengers despite rail companies agreeing to higher standards, regulators said today.
Problems include wrong information on platform screens and delays in letting people know when disruption is over, said a report from the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).
There was "no longer an excuse" for this poor type of information and passengers needed to start seeing improvements, said ORR chief executive Richard Price.
In its report, the ORR cited the findings, published in June this year, of Passenger Focus's latest national survey.
This showed that only 37% of customers reckoned delays were dealt with well during periods of disruption.
This compared with a satisfaction level of 70% for the information received during normal journeys.
Mr Price said: "Rail passengers have long been frustrated by the quality of information available to plan their journeys, and how they are kept informed when things go wrong. Something had to be done and that is why we welcomed the rail industry's decision this year to sign up to new obligations to make sure passengers receive appropriate, accurate and timely information.
"We have reviewed industry performance and initial findings show that while each train operator approaches the issues differently, there is a widespread commitment to improving the quality of information for passengers. New plans, staff training and technology have been introduced to help deliver better, speedier and more consistent information for passengers."
He went on: "However, research still shows that passengers want to see real improvements, with the latest National Passenger Survey highlighting that only one third of passengers think that delays are handled well.
"Our review found that there are still examples of poor provision of information across the network. Passengers highlighted examples of delays in being informed that an incident is over and, frustratingly, there are still examples of inconsistencies between information shown on platform screens and what is happening in reality. There really is no longer an excuse for this."
Mr Price said "challenging weather conditions" were now testing the rail industry.
He went on: "ORR is watching carefully to see how the rail industry performs and will keep the pressure up by investigating areas of concern.
"Passengers want assurance that Network Rail and train operators continue to take passenger information seriously, and that is exactly what we are pressing for. The industry is getting there, but there's still a lot of work to be done."
A spokesman for the Association of Train Operating Companies said: "The regulator recognises that train companies take customer information seriously and has assessed their work as positive.
"Train companies invest significant amounts of time and money to provide customers with the latest up-to-date travel advice whether they are using a website, on a train or at a station. But we plan to do more and operators will continue to work with the rest of the industry to improve things further."
Rail Minister Norman Baker said: "Recent inclement weather has taken its toll.
"I have been impressed by the work done by both Network Rail and TOCs (train operating companies) to keep things running, including improved levels of passenger information."

A variety of Bermuda grass, called World Feeder, having all the desirable traits of Alicia Bermuda grass plus excellent cold hardiness.
I claim:
1. A new variety of Bermuda grass as shown and described.
World Feeder Bermuda grass is a mutant developed through selectionon my acreage in Bethany, Okla. It comes from a planting in 1973 of Alicia Bermuda grass and has all of the good qualities of Alicia. However, the drawback of Alicia was that it was not winter hardy in colder climates. The major difference is thatWorld Feeder Bermuda grass has proven winter hardy. It has thrived in the face of severe winters, where there were days on end of -5 to +10 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill factors of -20 to -30 degrees. No winter kill has been evidenced during thistime.
The World Feeder Bermuda grass is a fast growing, hybrid Bermuda grass, averaging knee high in summer, growing approximately 1 inch per day in warm weather, has a deep penetrating root system, and is tender and succulent for pasture grazingand hay. The crude protein averages around 19% plus, with digestible protein approximately 75%. Tests show the crude fiber to be 16% and the fat 2.5%. It has great drought resistant qualities due to the deep root system and has a sweet taste. Itretains 50% of its greenness even after a killing frost (November 1st in Oklahoma) and stays relatively green until late December. Emergence begins in April and by June 1 is in full growth.
`World Feeder` Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon var. aridus (seems to be the same variety as Alicia) is a stoloniferous sward-forming perennial with sparse long, slender, deeply penetrating rhizomes; surface stolons slender and very fastspreading, sometimes reaching lengths of 10-12 meters; culms slender, 8-40 cm. high and 0.5-1.25 mm. in diameter. Leaf-blades flat, or folded when dry, often short and narrow, 1-12 cm. long and 2-4 mm. wide, glaucous, scaberulous, with or withoutscattered hairs; liqule a membranous rim 0.2-0.3 mm. long, ciliate on the edge. Inflorescences few with 4-6 racemes usually 4-6 cm. long, in a single whorl. Spikelets 2-2.5 mm. long; glumes lanceolate in side view, 1-nerved, the upper 1/2-3/4 aslong as the spikelet; lemma silky pubescent on the keel; palea glabrous. Growth habit results in production of a very loose mat rather than a turf.
