Just weeks before the two-year clock runs out, a dozen associations and retailers have joined forces to delay sweeping new federal lead-safe work rules set to take effect April 22.
In a joint letter dated March 8, the group appealed to four U.S. senators involved in developing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule." The rule, approved April 22, 2008, would affect up to 250,000 contractors from a variety of trades.
The rule mandates training and certification in lead-safe work practices for construction contractors, property managers and others who work in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978.
Opponents of the rule say the industry is still not nearly prepared for it—even after two years' notice.
"Currently, EPA has only 135 accredited trainers and 13,669 certified renovators nationwide, although its own compliance-needs estimates indicate that it needs at least 200,000 or more certified renovators," said the letter submitted to Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and James Inhofe (R-OK).
The letter was signed by these organizations and companies:
• Lowe's Companies Inc.• The Home Depot • National Association of the Remodeling Industry • National Association of Home Builders • National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association • Window and Door Manufacturers Association • Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association • Window and Door Dealers Alliance • National Glass Association • Manufactured Housing Institute • Vinyl Siding Institute • Independent Electrical Contractors
Critics of the rule never liked its cost, its reach or its many requirements. Still, with the clock running on a previously approved time line, there seemed no room for appeal.
That changed with President Obama's "State of the Union" call for a multibillion-dollar stimulus plan to incentivize energy efficiency upgrades in older homes and buildings. The resulting legislation produced the HOME STAR Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program, informally known as "Cash for Caulkers."
Past precedent, although not law, has given such presidential programs preference over agency regulations when it comes to resources and implementation.
LRRP critics contend that HOME STAR and LRRP make similar demands on many of the same contractors and affect the same housing stock, so contractors cannot comply with both at once.
While calling HOME STAR "an effective approach" toward improving energy efficiency, the additional requirements risk "derailing compliance with the LRRP" or complying with LRRP at the expense of HOMESTAR.
"As manufacturers, distributors, retailers and installers of new construction materials, we support efforts to ensure that home renovations in pre-1978 homes are conducted in accordance with EPA's LRRP requirements," the group's letter said.
"Unfortunately, based on EPA compliance-needs estimates, we do not believe EPA is prepared to adequately implement the LRRP. Further, if implemented now, the LRRP will negatively affect economic stimulus funding designated for housing weatherization and planned efforts for a national residential retrofit program." LRRP would require that any renovation work that disturbs more than six square feet inside a pre-1978 home follow new Lead Safe Work Practices (LSWP) supervised by an EPA-certified renovator and performed by an EPA certified renovation firm, as outlined in 40 CFR § 745.85.
The rule's opponents noted that fewer than 10 percent of contractors had been certified, adding: "Obviously, these numbers are far too insufficient for the millions of renovations carried out annually, even without a substantial retrofit incentive program like HOME STAR.
"With the April 22, 2010 deadline nearing, it is clear that EPA cannot ensure enough certified renovators will be available for compliance with the LRRP. Meanwhile, there is going to be an additional influx of new residential contractors and renovators generated by the HOME STAR proposal."
Furthermore, the group noted, HOME STAR is certain to draw more contractors and renovators into the residential sector, which is sure to compound the competition and confusion.
"We believe renovation incentives and HOME STAR, if passed as proposed … will only magnify LRRP compliance issues."
The critics cited a similar case in September 2000, when the Housing and Urban Development's "Lead Safe Housing Regulation" was deferred until more personnel and firms could be trained.
Certification programs for the LRRP have grown slowly. Seven states still do not have even one, according to NARI.
"In light of the high priority given by both Congress and the Administration to improving energy efficiency in older homes and creating a robust residential retrofit industry…, contractors and industry professionals must have a resolution to the LRRP compliance issue before April 22, 2010," the letter said.
Neither the EPA nor the senators had an immediate response to the appeal.

When are these companies gonna wake up and realize that they need to comply with the law regarding lead and remodling of older homes. I hope they do not get a time extension on this, and i hope they all go out ouf business.
Comment from Catherine Brooks, (3/18/2010, 2:10 PM)
Recent reports say 1/5 - 1/4 (50,000)of contractors are already certified renovators. EPA-approved training COMPANIES number over 143; most with many trainers traveling the US. (http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/trainingproviders.htm). This list is growing rapidly to meet the demand.
Comment from Joe Crytser, (3/18/2010, 9:50 PM)
Wake up!! Lead rules have been in place for many tears and for good reason. Our children have been poisoned by toy manufactures, well intended home owners, ignorant and unscrupulous contractors. The Painters union has been training workers to work with this and other hazardous materials. We can train and do this work NOW and we support the regulation and the doing it NOW.
Comment from Scott Starchuk, (3/19/2010, 2:32 AM)
Laziness and a lack of all around caring is the reason these contractors aren't getting off their backsides to be trained. Looks selfish on the part of Home Depot and others to support these cowboy contractors.
Comment from Jan Maurits Schouten, (3/19/2010, 9:05 AM)
What? Do Americans still paint with lead? In Europe this is alltogether forbidden for decades now, even in protective coatings. We're now eliminating almost all VOC's.
In The Netherlands painting inside is only allowed with water-based coatings. And it works! Almost no extra teachings needed

Ruff gets warm welcome and the victory
Lindy Ruff's whirlwind return to Buffalo ended on a series of high notes including a heartfelt tribute from his former team, local hockey fans and his Dallas Stars leaving First Niagara Center with a hard-earned 4-3 victory.
All-in-all it was a good day for the former Buffalo Sabres player, captain and coach. Ruff made his first visit back to First Niagara Center Monday, some eight months after the Sabres fired him as coach.
"It was kind of a large relief and strange coming back," Ruff said after the game.
The highlight had to be the video tribute from the Sabres and lengthy applause from the 18,295 in First Niagara Center, not to mention a stick banging tribute from both the Sabres and Stars players.
"The tribute was awesome," Ruff said. "It was first class by the organization. It was something they didn't have to do."
The video began with images of Ruff, as a player, scoring and fighting and then morphed into his 15-year Sabres coaching career.
"I spent my whole life here," Ruff said.
Many of his former players agreed the tribute was a special touch.
"Buffalo always holds its ex-players with the utmost respect," said current captain Steve Ott.
Ott, playing against his former team for the first time,had his own special evening scoring a third period power play goal.
Still, the Sabres lost for the 12th time in 14 games and went 0 for 8 during the team's eight October home games at First Niagara Center.
The Sabres play again Thursday night in Manhattan against the New York Rangers and are home Saturday vs. the Anaheim Ducks.

it'll be the same statue from the meet-and-greet but with a new non-fountain trident. why make a whole new statue when that one is ideal.
We need an insider to settle this, I wonder if there is one around that could clear up the whole statue thing, as I am sure that this would not be privileged Disney Info.
Either that. Or maybe they will mention something about that during the offical opening ceremonies for the ride. Wow! This is gonna be one busy summer for the resort.
All the reliefs are up on TLM building along with the shell that will hold up triton! A lot of details are emerging left and right from the building. Also trees have been planted in the new Duffy meet and greet area. Looks very nice! It's amazing what a few trees does to an area. Sorry no pics, was working.
Thanks for the update! Sounds like the new meet-and-greet will turn out very nice

From what I have been told , its a new Triton
My money's on a new Triton. Not because I think it's the better choice necessarily, but I think it's just what I would imagine Disney to do.
Can we just go back to arguing over the "green beam"?
Not that more speculation is needed, but here's a couple reasons why I think the statue is NOT the fountain statue:
The fountain Triton appears to be metal and hollow. It might be difficult to attach it to a roof structure like on Mermaid. Plus, a metal statue would draw lightning, and therefore would have to be grounded with lightning rods (more work). The fountain Triton also would likely not meet safety standards for a roof installation. In its old location, an earthquake that might cause the fountain statue to break would do no damage to guests. However, if placed on the roof of the mermaid building, if a piece breaks off, it could injure guests.
I think those reasons alone would be enough for them to build a new, fiberglass or plastic statue that would be more durable, lighter, safer, and easier to install.
Unless his triton is the lightning rod!

New Triton. The statue is precariously placed on the arch and the fountain statue would be off-balanced.

Michael Buble & Delta Air Lines Celebrate Airline Expansion
Delta Air Lines And Grammy Award-Winning Artist Michael Bublé partnered for an exclusive event celebrating the airline's expansion in Seattle, WA with a VIP Reception and intimate Q+A session with Bublé. Elite SkyMiles members, key partners, and contest winners enjoyed a memorable pre-show experience prior to Bublé's performance that night at Key Arena. Attendees also received a premium ticket to attend Bublé's concert and were given special access and seating in "The Delta Zone" -- where guests enjoyed an up close and personal experience with the artist.
The event was held at The Seattle Center Pavilion, Seattle, WA on Friday, Nov. 15, 2013

Delta has also invested $14 million in its facilities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including its recently completed lobby renovations, new Delta Sky Club, Sky Priority services, new gate area power recharging stations and expanded ticket counters.

FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots gestures as he lines up in the shotgun formation against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Tom Brady's successor isn't on the Patriots roster as of now, and won't be for a year or two. Brady's new contract ensured his backup Ryan Mallet, who was a 3rd round selection, had a first round grade and fell due to off the field questions in the 2011 NFL Draft, doesn't have a future in Foxboro. Now that the first domino has fallen in Alex Smith going to Kansas City, the value has been set for quarterbacks in the 2013 market. Word is the Patriots aren't actively pursuing a trade, but Bill Belichick isn't scared of wheeling and dealing, especially in a year he has limited picks in a deep draft. According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, the bar has been set and the Patriots could cash in on Mallet. Howe writes: 'There were long odds for Mallett to be Tom Brady's heir apparent to the Patriots' throne even before the franchise quarterback's contract extension. Mallett's contract expires after 2014, which means he'd have to turn down a chance to compete elsewhere for a starting job to re-sign with the Pats. The Patriots spent a third-round pick on Mallett in 2011, even though they were happy with backup Brian Hoyer. The immediate speculation was the Pats saw value in a quarterback who was once viewed as a high first-round pick, and if Mallett developed while keeping his reputation clean away from the field, the team could flip him for a better pick. The Pats could use an additional selection in April, as two of their five picks are in the last round.' var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

It's been a crazy, lazysummer for the Tories
'A sense of bloodlust and hunger for power appears absent from the Opposition front bench this year'
As Tony Blair returns to his desk tomorrow morning, he should ask his party officials to send a crate of best bitter to his deputy, John Prescott, who has kept the Government ticking over without any mishaps during the silly season. August has, in the past, been a bit of a risky time for Mr Prescott, but he is owed a debt of considerable gratitude this year by the Prime Minister, for keeping the summer heat off the Government.
As Tony Blair returns to his desk tomorrow morning, he should ask his party officials to send a crate of best bitter to his deputy, John Prescott, who has kept the Government ticking over without any mishaps during the silly season. August has, in the past, been a bit of a risky time for Mr Prescott, but he is owed a debt of considerable gratitude this year by the Prime Minister, for keeping the summer heat off the Government.
The feeling of general well-being towards the Government is most clearly seen in the findings of the latest Mori opinion poll. Without lifting a finger, Mr Blair has seen his fortunes restored. Peace and quiet under the benign caretakership of Mr Prescott are the best tactics for a Government blessed with a buoyant economy.
Conversely, the message for William Hague is that the Tories have failed to capitalise on their stronger showing prior to the recess, and have shown a lazy complacency by putting their holidays first, thereby allowing the Government a free ride. Mr Hague may not be in a mood similarly to thank David Davis, the senior Tory backbencher, with 14 pints of his favourite Yorkshire ale for his efforts during the August lull, but he should heed Mr Davis's criticisms of the Tories' failure to capitalise on the thin news agenda.
Mr Davis, in his capacity as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, has set a fine example of how to take advantage of the silly season by issuing a plethora of reports from his committee. He was therefore entitled to a hearing when he said that the Tories should have followed the example of the Labour opposition in August 1996, when they harried the Major government with nationwide publicity campaigns and daily assaults on policy.
Mr Davis is right to focus on the comparison. Looking back at the press cuttings of four years ago, there was not a single announcement from the Major government that did not earn a riposte from Labour. Even the tired old trick of demanding the recall of Parliament was brought out. It all ensured that the then opposition was in the news on its own terms.
John Prescott was rampaging across the country with his British seaside campaign, "Same old Tories. Same old lies". Meanwhile, Glenda Jackson was canvassing British holidaymakers abroad telling anyone who'd listen, and quite a few who wouldn't, that: "While we're lying in the sun, the Tories are lying back at home." These publicity stunts may have raised nothing more than bored eyebrows from the deckchairs, but they nevertheless reinforced the image of an opposition party both hungry and determined to win power.
That sense of bloodlust and hunger appears absent from the Opposition this summer. During the past fortnight, we have had the annual fuss and bother over standards of A-level and GCSE passes. One might have thought that the Tory spokeswoman, Theresa May, would have timed her break to be on hand to weigh in during this debate. We have heard not a squeak from her.
Instead, however, we have a cheap and nasty attempt by Dr Liam Fox, the shadow health spokesman, to remind us all of the sheer racism and nastiness of the Conservative Party with his comments yesterday about foreign doctors, although Dr Fox denies the charge of racism. Clearly suffering from holiday sunstroke, Dr Fox blunders in with a call for remedial English classes not only for doctors who have qualified abroad but also for those who have been practising in the UK for a number of years. Now Mr Hague will be sidetracked into having to fend off even more attacks on his party's whole attitude to foreigners.
It is now clear that "skinhead Conservatism" alone will be insufficient even to maintain the party's present number of MPs. The swivel-eyed tendency in the party can bang on about "the family" and Section 28 as much as they like, but such issues are similar to capital punishment - the public may be vocal in its support, and the party workers still more so, but very few votes actually change hands at election time over these issues. Ivan Massow's defection clearly struck a chord with many voters and served to reinforce the image of a "nasty party".
Thank goodness, then, for Steve Norris's comments that the party must deal with its anti-women, racist and homophobic attitudes. The fact that he has been appointed a vice-chairman by Mr Hague gives me a modicum of confidence that the Tory leader recognises, at last, the institutional prejudice within the party against women, ethnic minorities and homosexuals.
This prejudice against gays reflects itself when a regular list of suspects from the backbenches (led by Gerald Howarth, Julian Brazier and Julian Lewis) use every opportunity to speak out during parliamentary debates and television interviews. Often the front bench simply avoids talking about such issues but, to the outsider, it is these backbenchers who set the tone and ensure that there is a general impression of Tory callousness.
Just why there is lingering prejudice when, in fairness to Mr Hague, the Tory party employs so many gay men in Central Office and shadow ministers' offices, is hard to understand. This phenomenon proves to me that Mr Hague is actually a decent and tolerant individual. There are also more closet homosexuals, married and unmarried, on the Tory backbenches than in any other party. Many of these cheerfully turn up to the social round of London gay parties which I attend, having voted against the repeal of Section 28. What is clear is that, in Mr Hague's Tory party, public and private behaviour do not always coincide.
Attention will now focus, however, on the draft manifesto, due to be published shortly, for endorsement by the membership. Rumour has it that severe disagreements within the Shadow Cabinet are complicating this exercise. Speculation is mounting that housing benefit will be abolished in order to give Michael Portillo the ability to counter Labour charges of a "black hole" of £16bn in Tory public-expenditure plans.
This would be a bold move but hardly electorally appealing. Pension reform on the basis of a revised "pension plus" proposal, which surfaced briefly during the 1997 election, may also be another possible area of fruitful new policy development, but it is hardly eye-catching or headline-grabbing - let alone vote-grabbing.
Frankly, the party leadership should resist too much in the way of shopping lists. What matters more than anything, in the light of the latest polls, is a statement of tone and general philosophy. A little tolerance and humanity, some "compassionate Conservatism" if you like, would be a better bet.
Time, however, is no longer on the Tories' side. They must pray that Mr Blair is not tempted to cash in early on his party's revival by holding a snap October election - a temptation, I believe, he has not yet entirely resisted. Mr Hague is still the Tories' best hope, but he must simply stop them from appearing so nasty.

What a lovely place! Thomas is a fantastic host, and his flat is wonderful. He is so hospitable and accommodating, communicating and meeting with us to guide us with the amenities and information, also generously providing us some delightful items to eat and drink. We enjoyed our time so much staying at his flat during this last week in June. Very comfortable accommodations, beautifully decorated and excellent amenities. The flat is located in a fantastic location in the Marais- near many renown and beautiful sights, excellent shopping, and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Paris.
What a wonderful start to our 1st European visit! Thomas has an exceptional apartment and in an exceptional location! Thomas met us on time and introduced us to our (his) apartment. Everything we needed, safe area, and a very comfortable bed with 1st class everything! If anyone is considering a visit to Paris, Kim and I especially recommend this apartment! You can walk everywhere and the shopping/eating in and around this area is fantastic! Thanks Thomas, when we come back we would love to stay again! Mike and Kim
Thomas and his apartment were simple wonderful. We arrived early and Thomas made a special accommodation to meet us before the specified check in time. The apartment was perfect: clean, comfortable, very modern and relaxing. The location is prime, perfect for sight seeing, shopping and going out. All our needs were considered, from the amenities to the maps to how to use all the appliances. Not only would we stay here again, but if we could, we would live here ourselves. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
Thomas felt like a cousin. Very welcoming, and dry us up for our stay very sweetly. Lising indeed accurate. The apartment is in the heart of things, yet inside quite homey and surprisingly quiet for the neighborhood.
Fantastic location in a trendy area very close to the metro and a short walk from Notre Dame.
The apartment was beautiful and felt very Parisienne. Very high quality furnishings and facilities (Krupps coffee machine, Calvin Klein towels etc).
We were made to feel very welcome by Thomas and his colleague Hugo, with water and crackers left for us on arrival. That was a nice touch as we were hot and tired when we arrived.
Tonnes of bars and restaurants nearby. We liked the Japanese place immediately next door, while the pastries at Le Pain Quotidien across the road were perfect to munch on while starting our wandering around Paris.
There's also a taxi stand just 2 mins walk down the hill as you turn right out of the apartment. Handy for airport runs etc.
One quick tip if you're catching a later flight home: Check with Thomas if anyone is booked into the apartment immediately after you. He may be able to hold your luggage for you. In our case, this wasn't possible, but he kindly pointed out that Gare du Nord and Lyon both have left luggage facilities. The ones at Nord worked perfectly for us and allowed us another day exploring before heading to the airport.
The apartment was perfect! The location couldn't have been better, it was very clean and had everything we needed in it. Would definitely recommend it to others and would stay again.
We loved our stay at Thomas's apartment. It's furnished beautifully and the bed is even softer than it looks in the photos. It's located in the heart of the gay strip in the Marais - very convenient to beautiful Parisian sightseeing and the nightlife was really fun and lively. We would definitely stay again!

Man's Brilliant 2-Word Obituary Says Everything You Need to Know
This obituary is short and to the point.
This obituary is short and to the point.
As revealed yesterday, Batman vs. Superman will have a major presence at Comic-Con. The entire cast will be there to show off new footage from the film, and if rumors are to believed, we'll also have the new Justice League assembled on stage. But, if you aren't going to Comic-Con this year (or you simply can't wait another week), we have some good news for you: Warner Bros. has released five new Batman vs. Superman photos for your viewing pleasure.
Go ahead and watch this without crying. Or at least tearing up. We dare you.
The next film in the 'Rocky' franchise is set for a Nov. 25 release, but here's the problem… it's called 'Creed.'
Paying a lot for a little when grabbing a bite to eat at an airport is nothing new, but this is ridiculous.
You may think twice the next time someone asks to borrow your phone.
I started visiting with Chimpz lead singer Artimus Prime online about a year ago. He's an awesome guy and so down to earth that I had no idea that these guys were about to break loose. They've hit Rocklahoma and The Loudwire Music Festival and have made scores of fans, some who called them the "best band on the bill". They also have the honor of the video for "California" winning for 20 straight weeks on the Loudwire Battle Royale and were retired into the "Video Hall Of Fame".
Heritage has been in the news a lot lately, but let's put that specific incident to the side. I'm having a hard time understand why anybody cares "where your people come from."
The longevity of Sesame Street has seen some inevitable turnover through the years, some less controversial than others, but the latest loss will have most everyone in a nostalgic fit. Sonia Manzano, best known as the iconic Maria, will say goodbye to Sesame Street after a whopping 44 years on the air.
What's summer without spending some time at the lake and relaxing with some friends and good movies? You can do all of that coming up July 11th during the 'JAWS on the Water' event in New Braunfels.

Customer questions about this product
- What is the difference between a disher and an ice cream scoop?
- Dishers are designed to control portions of soft foods, such as mashed potatoes, applesauce, or steamed vegetables, whereas ice cream scoops offer the durability necessary to scoop hard, frozen foods, such as ice cream. Both are traditionally sized by the number of scoops per quart that they can produce; however, they may also be sized by the number of ounces they hold. Dishers feature an easy-to-operate thumb press or squeeze-handle design, complete with a quick-release component that ensures no food is unintentionally left behind in the scoop. Ice cream scoops on the other hand, do not feature any movable components.
Get a handle on your portion control with the Zeroll 2100 Orange #100 Universal EZ disher. With its easy hand squeeze design and accurate portions, this disher is ideal for cafeterias, restaurants, and diners.
The Zeroll 2100 #100 Orange disher is made of stainless steel with a sturdy, plastic handle. The innovative "spring-less" design means you'll never have to replace spare parts and springs for your disher. Plus, Zeroll Universal EZ dishers are color-coded for easier size identification, and cross contamination prevention.

Customer Reviews
Overall User Rating: Zeroll 2100 Orange #100 Universal EZ Disher Portion Scoop - .32 oz. ( 4.9 stars from 8 reviews )
We have tons of these in our kitchen and use them just as much for prep as for service. Love the plastic handle, makes it easier on the hands after a day's work.
Tiffany C. Posted on 06/25/2015
This is a very small scoop, but if your making appetizers you'll want a few of this size, it's perfect for small portions. A+ product!
Tony L. Posted on 06/13/2015
This scoop is the perfect size when preparing samples - we use it to make samples of our veggie burgers. Sturdy, easy to use and clean.
Danielle G. from Natural Contents Posted on 06/01/2015
This disher is great quality and the price is not to bad either. The work better on most items compared to the thumb dishers. Will definitely buy more!!
Jeff B. Posted on 05/07/2014
Absolutely love these. We were using the regular spring-fed dishers and these are so much better. The old ones would leak when removed from the rinse cup (we scoop Italian ice samples) and these don't do that. There is no place for the rinse water to go. So much easier on the hands, too. We've changed all our dishers to the Zeroll.
Donna M. from Wise Ice Posted on 10/09/2013
Wow I paid twice the amount for this scooper at a store.. I use this scooper for my filling in my peanut butter cookies. It has helped me so much because I cut my prepping time in half and they are more unified. They look more professionally made. I will now always look at webstaurant first before I purchase anything. Lesson learned!
Dana C. from Anna Mea's Bakery Posted on 09/03/2013
Peanut butter filled peanut butter cookies.
Perfect answer to making small cookies, without the endless rolling into balls! We also used this to scoop peanutbutter balls for buckeyes candy. Can use right-handed or left-handed; very easy to squeeze, and easy to clean.
Lori J. Posted on 03/25/2013
the design of this orange #100 disher is outstanding. easy trigger and super simple to use. portion controll at its best, and the staff actually like to use it.

What People Are Saying About Circle
The Next Web:
"When I imagine the future of banking – the vehicle for how I store, access and spend my money – it looks a lot like Circle. "
The Guardian:
"Circle is trying to compete with those competitors by offering a level of professionalism unusual in the bitcoin world… And its slick interface, which abstracts away much of the confusing technical aspects of the crypto-currency, appeals to users tired of conventional internet banking as much as it does those already involved in Bitcoin"
"Circle is every bit as aesthetically pleasing and intuitive as it was heralded pre-launch. It's the first bitcoin product that I could conceivably see my mother using."
"Circle is elegant and easy to use with a simple interface and a straightforward list of transactions. It also offers two security features — two-factor authentication and insurance — that are now considered table stakes for serious bitcoin companies."
"Instead of forcing customers to learn what amounts to a new language to use bitcoin, Circle tries to make the experience as similar to retail banking accounts as possible."

Upcoming reports
It is not surprising that some shoppers are looking to for alternative channels for their food and groceries in an attempt to make savings. Although the Big Four supermarkets remain the most popular channels, alternative channels such as Amazon Groceries aim to tempt shoppers away from their usual supermarket choice. The internet has allowed for the emergence of sites offering bulk and discount groceries without the need for physical stores, thus keeping costs low. Bulk discount stores such as Makro and Costco provide shoppers with not only the opportunity to buy essential in bulk, but also products that they can't get in standard supermarkets. They also work as a form of entertainment, with many shoppers seeing them as a trip out, where they can take their families, have a browse and have lunch. This report will provide a holistic view on where shoppers go, how frequently and most importantly why they choose this channel to fulfil their shopping needs.
This section of our channel series investigates shopper perceptions, attitudes and behaviours in relation to Large Supermarkets. Large Supermarkets are the most frequented of all the channels and continue to dominate the Food & Grocery market; our in-depth research explores a multitude of themes in this area. The Large Supermarket report will cover channel penetration, spend by mission, primary store (including how shoppers define primary store), shopper share, drivers to store, barriers to purchase (by category) and overall perceptions of the different retailers (Quality, Price, Range and Value).

The latest Food and Grocery Shopper opinion
The Rise of the Super Top-up
June, 2015
A lot has been made of the rise in smaller top-up shopper missions…indeed we started talking about this years ago. That 'Smaller and often' modality which allows shoppers to restrict spend to items that have a definite and known consumption occasion/need. This has allowed shoppers to restrict food waste considerably. Our new research in shopping channels has highlighted something new…that is the rise of the Super Top-up!
As specialists in all the grocery shopper missions we understand that the definitions of missions goes well beyond a simple methodology of counting the items in a basket without considering the size of a household…for a large family spending £100 could be just a top-up…£20 for a singleton may well be a main shop…it all depend how it fits within the overall purchasing patterns of that family. A Main/Large Mission comprises items for known and future consumption, with the emphasis on the latter, many of the items will be for stock where no immediate need is known, therefore a Top-up shop is the opposite given the advantages listed previously.
So what's a Super Top-up? Well it won't surprise you that these fall somewhere in the middle of a Main & Top-up shop in terms of the known and future consumption, but what makes them totally different is the channel used…that is Discounters, in particular Aldi & Lidl. Whilst we are on the subject, calling them discounters seems to refer to them in a negative manner, which I am not in favour of, but for ease, I will continue to refer to them in this way.
Whilst we are on the subject, calling them discounters seems to refer to them in a negative manner, which I am not in favour of, but for ease, I will continue to refer to them in this way. A Super Top-up often starts as a top-up mission (having immediate and know need), but unlike a similar mission in a supermarket, we are seeing evidence of shoppers being more motivated by different products they see in this channel. It feels like more products are innovative and new (often given their continental heritage), and therefore there is a lot more experimenting going on here…and shoppers are loving the products when they try them. This in practise is increasing basket sizes whilst on the same mission…In a Tesco Express the average top-up comes to around £21, whereas in Aldi/Lidl it is £26…now that's the Super Top-up effect! It also explains why those shoppers from higher demographics love the place…they are often foodies, and seeing something unusual is great for them.
Discounter's mid-sized store formats are perfect for the shopper who wants a quick shopping mission, but with the advantage of a wide range of interesting products (note; this goes well beyond their price advantage), something the Co-operative may want to think about. So the Super Top-up (an augmented Top-up one may say) is putting some of the enjoyment back into grocery shopper…finding that new product, often unknown brand with low risk (and low price) to try on the family makes the shopper…and the consumers very happy.
