Amazon Prime, ShopRunner Forcing Faster Free Shipping
Amazon Prime and ShopRunner, which both offer online shoppers free two-day shipping with an annual membership, are changing customer expectations and forcing small and mid-sized online retailers to consider faster and more expensive free shipping options to be competitive.
Amazon Prime, which costs $79.99 per year, gives shoppers free two-day shipping on orders placed on Amazon.com and affiliated online retailers. It even offers a Netflix-like movie and television streaming service. Prime's relatively new competitor, ShopRunner, offers a similar two-day shipping service with free returns for $79.99 per year or $8.95 per month. ShopRunner members can make purchases with many online stores, including Neiman Marcus, American Eagle Outfitters, Toys"R"Us, GNC, PetSmart, and Newegg.
Amazon Prime and ShopRunner are believed to have more than 10 million members combined, all expecting and receiving free two-day shipping on most online orders.
Changing Consumer Expectations
These free two-day shipping services and the growth of free shipping offers in general may change consumer expectations.
As an example, Shop.org reported in October 2013 that 34.9 percent of Internet retailers now offer some form of free shipping year-round. The percentage of ecommerce merchants offering full time free shipping options rose 51 percent in just the past year, again according to Shop.org. These statistics clearly point to a trend in free shipping offers. Given that free shipping reduces a retailer's margins significantly, it is possible to attribute this massive increase in the number of free shipping offers to customer demand. Online sellers believe that they need to offer free shipping to be competitive.
Two-day free shipping is likely to change consumer expectations further, increasing demand for fast and free shipping options from every retailer as the number of available fast and free shipping options increase via Amazon Prime, ShopRunner, or similar businesses. Even PayPal recently tested two-day free shipping offers. Working with a few retailers, shoppers could get free, two-day shipping without an annual fee if they simply checked out using PayPal. The offer had no minimum purchase.
Why Offer Free Two-day Shipping?
When one considers how, as an example, ShopRunner works, it may not be immediately obvious why or how merchants benefit.
Retailers place ShopRunner banners on their sites, provide free two-day shipping on ShopRunner-eligible orders, and pay a commission of between 3 and 5 percent of the sale value for every order from a ShopRunner member. On some products this might represent a 75-percent reduction in margin for the merchant.
So why do it?
Participating merchants likely understand that loyal customers that return to a merchant's site to make purchase after purchase are worth a lot. In the United States, 40 percent of all retail ecommerce revenue comes from repeat or return customers who represent just 8 percent of all online customers, according to an Adobe Digital Index report released in July 2013. Put another way, less than 10 percent of customers do 40 percent of the buying online.
These repeat and returning customers may also spend as much as five times more than a new customer on each order. When one considers how much online retailers spend on pay-per-click advertising, banner advertising, and other forms of new customer acquisition, free two-day shipping may be a reasonable expense.
Decentralization Makes Two-Day, Free Shipping Cost Effective
Decentralizing warehouses and order fulfillment may help online sellers reduce the cost of offering free two-day shipping services.
Many online retailers operate out of a single warehouse, shipping products nationally. For orders going to customers nearby the merchant's facility, shipping costs are somewhat lower and delivery times are somewhat better. For example, a merchant could send an order via UPS or FedEx ground if the customer happens to be only a couple hundred miles away, and expect that order to arrive the next day without any special handling. But sending orders across the country takes a lot more time and a lot more money.
To offer customers free two-day shipping, sellers might distribute inventory to warehouses located around the country, so that any order could be delivered in just a couple of days even using less expensive ground shipping services.
This decentralization might take one or more of four basic forms.
First, a merchant could simply open and manage a second or third order fulfillment facility. There would, of course, be the need for new investment in facilities, equipment, and employees. Unfortunately, this is probably not an option for many small businesses.
Second, retailers might rely on some form of drop shipping. As an example, there are several distributors of health and nutrition products in the United States. These distributors have facilities in every region, and will often drop ship as a service. A retailer of protein supplements, might rely on these distributors to fulfill orders near their facilities.
Third, an ecommerce business might use a fulfillment company that specializes in warehouse goods and order processing. Working with one or more of these service providers, a merchant could place inventory in several areas of the country. The nearest warehouse to a given customer could fulfill the order for the fastest shipping time.
Fourth, small retailers could partner to fulfill orders for each other. Imagine a couple of online specialty toy retailers. One is based in Los Angeles and the other is headquartered in New York. These two companies could compete on every level, but assuming that they stock the same products, they could fulfill orders for each other, making both of them more competitive with large retailers.
Amazon Prime, ShopRunner, and similar services might be an indication of how free shipping offers will evolve in the next few years. Merchants should think of ways to offer free two-day shipping and get new, loyal customers.

"Given that free shipping reduces a retailer's margins significantly"
Retailers, big and small, have to factor in shipping costs just like anyone else. The problem with Amazon is that they get a tremendous discount from UPS/Fedex and can often save over 90% off the "retail" shipping prices just because of their volume.
I don't think I will be able to offer any kind of free shipping option at this point in time because due to my specific niche and low shipping volume I get little to no discount on my shipping cost. That would mean suicide for my business.
I think this all went wayward when research started to show that the #1 reason for shopping cart abandonment was "high shipping cost". A lot of these merchants saw this and though "Gee, lets just make it free!" As they say, "one fool makes many" so now everybody is following down the slippery slope to insolvency by offering a service for free that its cost increases by at least 10% every quarter (especially at the Post Office). Not only that we are all trying to compete with a company that ships millions of boxes per week (for themselves and their 3rd party sellers) and who gets a very large discount for this massive volume. Does that make sense to anyone? Also, I hope everyone bears in mind also that there is usually no such thing as free shipping on products sold by Amazon, the shipping cost is either partially or totally *included* in the product cost.
Amazon has changed how people view buying on the net. At least it has changed mine. It is very odd since a company like Zappos charges significantly higher prices but offers free shipping and free returns.
I find that I keep fewer things from Zappos than I do from other stores. I do find some stores to be ridiculous in their shipping costs charging $10 or $15 for a small box when I know their costs are significantly smaller.
Those are companies I avoid as I feel I am getting fleeced.
There is a middle ground for small businesses. Charge progressively smaller amounts for larger orders instead of the $X to $0 cliff at $35 or $50 or $75 or whatever.
Something has to give. Many businesses will just give up altogether. Others will just say free shipping but no returns or hefty restock charges and increase their prices across the board.
Someone has to pay for warehouse-to-door delivery. After all, it costs to go to a brick and mortar retailer in your car.
In trying to keep things in perspective here it isn't clear if Hosta is aware that Zappos is an Amazon subsidiary since 2009, but yes I will agree pricing that is charged to customers is ridiculous. I have seen myself packages go down the shipping line at Amazon with prices of $1.30-3.00 US on most items with $5.00-8.00 US being the average I've never seen ANY price over 15.00 US also I must point out that these are conveyable not pallets or freight AND it includes international orders. Now for the garbage of $35 shipping. You are also charged tax on you shipping rate as it is a dis-"service", just try adjusting your shipping method and watch the t he tax go up and down, yet with prime 2-day vs the regular shipping it doesn't on when selecting those two items. Granted they have to pay the receiving dock workers, replen and pickers as well as packers along with the shipping who slave away in 120+ degree warehouses. Companies gotta make money but recent $1000-5000 buy-outs end up paying disgruntled FTE employes to quit, but an even more sinister fact is that employees are forfeiting their awarded company stock when doing so, which in most cases, takes 2 years to vest and with current prices @ 355.03 / share just 3 shares would be worth one year "tenure" with a cap of 5 for pay-out of $5000 to quit. Shipping costs or not, money is being made several ways- not all very pretty and straightforward by customer point of views – discount shipping or not the little guys and customers are paying too much shipping cost and not all of payment is related to cost of shipping.

|Went back and did this one a second time. It is possible to avoid most of the offwidth moves at the top, if you find just the right face holds. In that case, this might be more of a 5.8 than 5.9.

|Doug's comparison to Via Apia is apt. If you've done that, enjoyed it, and found yourself dreaming of a harder version of it, then Rainbow Crack is for you. It's a fun offwidth (if you're into that sort of thing - not that there's anything wrong with that) and it climbs pretty well. My last three pieces were (in order) C4's #4, #5, #6 - and I was grateful to have the #6 C4 near the top. If you're sitting at the base and contemplating leaving the #6 behind; don't.

Born in a camp for Lao refugees, Catzie Vilayphonh was an infant when her family was resettled in Philadelphia in 1981.
"Was I 15 days old? Fifteen weeks old? All I know is I was a baby," she said recently over sticky rice and bitter melon soup at a South Philadelphia restaurant. "I didn't even know I was a refugee until my 20s."
Traumatized by their uprooting, her parents rarely spoke of the past.
"I had to find out the history for myself," said Vilayphonh, who graduated from Central High School in 1998 and a few years later, with her stage partner, Michelle Myers, a Korean American, achieved acclaim as spoken-word poets with their in-your-face performances as Yellow Rage. The duo toured colleges and were featured on HBO.

Why Pundits, Journalists and Bloggers Don't Get Hard Times
Posted on Nov 27, 2013
We've read over and over that the great recession is behind us, although evidence of human suffering abounds. This is not a new phenomenon, and it was ably described a lifetime ago by Eugene V. Debs:
Debs of course was the labor organizer who ran several times as the Socialist candidate for president. His words, although in context refer to violent and deplorable acts, remind this blogger that the hard life is difficult to witness from an air-conditioned office. And it seems clear, given the myopic coverage of our increasingly inequitable society, the media blindness is widespread. Here the work of independent and citizen journalists, who are often themselves working for scraps, becomes even more vital.
This Thanksgiving, let us be thankful for what we have, and angry for what billions more have not.

Former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman and his wife have donated $5 million for a new pediatric gastrointestinal disorders center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Norman and Irma Braman, philanthropists and civic leaders in Miami, gave the money for the center, named for their daughter Suzi Braman Lustgarten and her husband, Scott Lustgarten, of Bryn Mawr.
Braman is the founder and head of Braman Enterprises, and owned the Philadelphia Eagles from 1985 to 1994.
The Lustgarten center will provide diagnostic and laboratory resources for motility disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and reflux disease.
Problems in a child's gastrointestinal tract may result in impaired digestion, nutritional problems, pain and chronic disability. - Linda Loyd

Learn to play Picking On Me from Ace himself in this video lesson!
In this video guitar lesson, Ace himself talks you through how to play Skunk Anansie's Picking On Me.
This was a B-side and Skunk Anansie rarely played it live.
The chords used are from the key of G or Em, using VI – IV – V, using a C shaped D chord with an open G string we get a nice variation called add11.
G being the 4th note from D in Mixolydian, it would have been a sus4, hadn't it been for the major 3rd still being played on string 4.
'Picking On Me' isn't the only song that use this chord, Man On The Moon by R.E.M use the same in its verse.
Another Skunk track that use this shape is Weak, possibly skunks biggest hit, nice recycling!
Picking On Me Chord Extensions
The Em is an Emadd9 when "hammered on" and Em when pulled.
A similar approach for the two C shapes move between adding the 5th of the chord, to the 3rd in the case of C major.
For the Dadd11 we add the 5th when hammering, the open E that happens from the pull off creates the unique Dadd9add11 chord.
By simply imagining the scale shape and then counting up to the added notes of a chord, you can work out the name for any chord like this.

Imagination Nature
Welcome to the visual world of Imagination Nature.
Here, you will find the photography of Dell R. Cullum.
He presently resides in his home town of East Hampton, New York, where he is surrounded by amazing ocean shore sunrises and an abundance of magnificent wildlife.
Dell's passion for wildlife has taken him around the world, filming all of our spectacular wildlife.
His 4 years in the Teton Valley of Idaho (2006-2010) yielded a massive collection of photos and film from both Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Parks and the beautiful surrounding landscapes of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Utah.
Dell shoots both in vivid colors and black and white. Although he is best known for his stunningly "close up and personal" wildlife photography, he is well accomplished in ALL genres and styles, particularly landscapes, aerial, action, glamour and fashion.
He hosts multiple photography workshop series during the summer months, and is a contributing
photographer for the East Hampton Star newspaper,and EAST Magazine.
Dell is also a pioneer in the use of small drones as a tool for still photography other than standard aerial use. He has also produced several local films including two local television programs.
His popular "Imagination Nature" television show is 15 episodes and counting.
Dell also released his first book in November of 2015 titled, "Eden of East Hampton: Village Nature Trail". Originally started in 2012 to be a photo book, it has evolved into a historical record of a very special location in East Hampton Village. The first print of 250 hard cover copies sold out in 8 days. The second print is now available in soft cover.
Dell Cullum can be hired to photograph anything from private shoots to parties (except weddings), real estate to livestock, personal requests and staged shots to assist artistic paintings. Have camera will travel.
Looking for that special photo(s) for your home or office?
Dell has an extensive catalog of beautiful photographic images covering almost every subject matter. He'll work with you personally to find the perfect piece.
Need an aerial shot or a photo from a unique angle?
One of Dell's UAV drones will be able to capture the shot for sure. Call for details (see contact at bottom).
Special Requests? Absolutely,... and if your request
calls for a specialty photographer, Dell has a small network of outstanding professionals he'd love to recommend for your weddings, concerts, underwater shoots, celebrity & high profile persons or events,
Infant, baby and family portraits, insurance, FEMA or security related needs. Dell also does photo restoration.
Have a scratched or torn photograph you'd like restored?
Dell does amazing digital photo restoration.
Dell is also a film maker. At a very young age, with his father's 8mm wind-up movie camera, he and the neighbor kids would re-create their favorite Irwin Allen movies on 3 minute celluloid reels.
At the age of 15, Dell wrote his first screenplay, "Fins of Death". At that time, he was introduced to Andrea Rose, a NYC Fashion Designer who would later become a well known inventor, and she drew sketches of the characters and their wardrobe for his screenplay. Ms. Rose then arraigned an appointment for Dell to have his screenplay reviewed by the great Otto Preminger, in person. Dell met with Mr. Preminger at the Columbia Pictures office in NYC, and he left with a life changing experience that would follow him to this day.
Once he began filming motion at his wildlife and ocean still shoots, his library of unique and wonderful footage grew as quickly as his still collections. The wildlife footage would eventually, and still is used for Dell's local television show "Imagination Nature". The scenic ocean footage, along with his drone footage is often released in short films he produces for his YouTube channel (Dell Cullum) and his social media page (Facebook: Imagination Nature). In 2012, Dell produced a promo film for award winning illustrator Billy Tucci. He has since filmed several Music Videos for local musicians, advertisements for local businesses, films of local special events, holiday specials and two mesmerizing introduction films for two "Longhouse Reserve" special events.
In 2014, Dell produced a 30 minute film titled "Cleaning the Sands of Time" which was aired on LTV in April of 2014 and ran all summer long. It was repeated this past year (2015) and continues to spread a very important message about the trash and litter issue that plagues the beautiful ocean shorelines of East Hampton and beyond, as well as the importance of correcting these issues.
The Imagination Nature / Green Explorer Expedition documentary "ISABELA", Dell's first full length documentary will premiere, along with accompanying art exhibit of Billy Strong, August 21st, 2016 at Mulford Farm Gallery in the village of East Hampton, NY. Filmed in the Galapagos Islands with soundtrack by the amazing Martin Birke of Sacramento, Ca. The end credit song "Isabela" was composed and performed by the equally amazing Joe Delia, along with his special guests Johnny Blood on guitar and Michael Viñas on bass. An outstanding composition to end the film. Narrated by the wonderful Cyndi Pass. It can be viewed right here, after the premiere.

Dell is in the business of Wildlife Rescue and 100% Humane Removal, with over 25 years of experience in several states. He combined his two passions of wildlife and film, and created "Dell Cullum's Imagination Nature" television show. His self produced show explores both his wildlife stills AND motion photography, with plenty of raw knowledge and education added, to better understand the wildlife that he discusses in each episode. Each show also includes a special guest and bonus segment.
Episode Ten is the much talked about hour special, where Dell's long time pal Vincent Easavoli takes him on a spectacular tour of the Florida Keys, examining new and exciting wildlife, with some very special guests.
Besides the LTV schedule, Imagination Nature can be viewed on YouTube (Dell Cullum).

USC had a big weekend on the recruiting front, getting the long-awaited commitment from No. 1 overall receiver George Farmer that most observers considered a lock to join up with the Trojans for some time.
While Oregon was crawling into the picture, the Ducks were a long shot to land Farmer. Now that he's committed to USC, the chances of him going elsewhere have all but faded away.
The Trojans already have one of the nation's top recruiting classes, coming on strong as of late, but they aren't done yet and are still chasing some of the nation's top uncommitted talent.
Here are USC's top 15 remaining recruiting targets for 2011.

Red spruce forests once dominated the highest elevations of West Virginia, covering as much as one million acres.

About This Book
In a city that runs on a dwindling supply of magic, a young boy is drawn into a life of wizardry and adventure. Conn should have dropped dead the day he picked Nevery's pocket and touched the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone used to focus magic and work spells. However, for some reason he did not.
Nevery finds this interesting, and he takes Conn as his apprentice on the provision that the boy find a locus stone of his own. However, Conn has little time to search for his stone between wizard lessons and helping Nevery discover who, or what, is stealing the city of Wellmet's magic.

January 27, 2016 marks one year that has passed since Marissa Alexander was released from prison and sentenced to serve an additional two years of "home detention." Check out a list of important accomplishments since Marissa has been released HERE! In one more year, Marissa will finally be free from this aspect of the constant surveillance and control by the state. We are excited to share a message from Marissa to her supporters to mark this important milestone.
In 2015, Free Marissa Now joined with members of Stand With Nan-Hui, Love & Protect, and California Coalition of Women Prisoners to launch the #SurvivedAndPunished initiative. The initiative challenges us to understand and unravel the embedded connections between gender violence and systems of prosecution, incarceration, and policing. The website includes a collection of resources to learn more about the criminalization of survivors of gender violence and activist strategies to free them.
The latest...
Florida legislative update:
We review some recent important reforms to Florida's 10-20-Life mandatory minimum sentencing law, the same law that required a 20 year sentence against Marissa Alexander when she was convicted in 2012.
Free Marissa Now announces new initiative: SurvivedAndPunished.org
This project is organized in coalition with the following freedom campaigns and organizations: Stand With Nan Hui, Love & Protect (formerly Chicago Alliance to Free Marissa Alexander), and California Coalition for Women Prisoners. We demand the immediate freedom of those who are punished for surviving domestic violence and other forms of gender violence, including Marissa Alexander!
Marissa Alexander was RELEASED from prison on January 27, 2015. This marks one year of completion of her two year sentence of house detention, while wearing a surveillance monitor. Free Marissa Now press release on the date of her prison release HERE.

Ben Frost, Daniel Bjarnason, Sinfonietta Cracovia, Brian Eno, Nick Robertson
Plus pieces by Krzysztof Penderecki and Henryk Górecki, performed by Sinfonietta Cracovia.
Foyer, DJ: Martin Hossbach.
"Music for Sólaris" is an ambitious project that celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Kraków writer Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris, which tells the story of a man who arrives at a distant planet to study the ocean covering its surface, a mysterious gigantic intelligence that brings painful and repressed memories into physical being.
Written for twenty-nine string players, two percussionists, prepared piano, guitars and electronics by Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason and performed with Sinfonietta Cracovia, "Music for Sólaris" also draws inspiration from the Andrei Tarkovsky film adaptation, to create a narrative of sound that is an exploration of an interior cosmos. The performance features film manipulations of Brian Eno and Nick Robertson, drawing on moments from the original Tarkovsky film to create a visual parallel to the music composition process. "Music for Sólaris" was has been released as CD and vinyl as an album by the Icelandic label Bedroom Community.
This is a unique opportunity to see and hear this piece performed with Sinfonietta Cracovia, Krakow's Royal orchestra, which features on the album and developed the work with the composers from the very beginning.
"Music for Solaris" was commissioned by Unsound Krakow 2010, and has already been performed at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York, the Bela Bartok National Concert Hall in Budapest, and the Reykyavik Arts Festival.
The Berlin presentation is a collaboration between Unsound and CTM, and supported by ECAS – European Cities of Advanced Sound, The Culture Programme of the European Commission, and The Polish Cultural Institute Berlin.
Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason are two composers used to shrugging off the distinction between experimental sound-art and deeply felt melodies. Frost's vast, blackened post-industrial works often crystallize in moments of quiet beauty before disintegrating in pure visceral noise; Bjarnason's orchestral music marries brutal modernism to classical aesthetics one moment and soaring ethereal harmonies the next. And yet here, on the tail of two widely acclaimed releases; Bjarnason's Processions and Frost's By the Throat, we are given something altogether new. A unique collaboration, Sólaris is a quiet, stilled and all consuming symphonic suite at once as affecting and uncanny as the science-fiction classic that inspired it.
The power of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris is not in its futuristic sets, or in the hypnotic shots of the alien planet's weird, fluid surface, but it's in the way he juxtaposes his alien, futuristic elements against the intimately familiar. This is a future not just of flashing lights and video screens, but of wood and wool and leather, of dogs and horses, books and photographs. In Frost & Bjarnason's Sólaris we do find the futuristic, gaseous atmospheres and pulses one might expect from a sci-fi soundtrack. Yet here they are carved instead from the warm, fragile sonorities of a string orchestra – Poland's Sinfonietta Cracovia – a gently prepared piano whose harmonies warp and melt before transforming again – and waves upon waves of guitar.
Created through a unique series of processes, Frost & Bjarnason's initial sketches – improvised to the film – were fed through software designed to correct music which tried to turn their dense and distorted sonic input into a digital sequence of raw musical data. Working from data riddled with error and misunderstanding, a human score was orchestrated; the whole process deftly mirroring the core of the film's own narrative of memory and loss, alien doppelgängers and emotional feedback loops. Brian Eno – who consulted closely in the creation of Sólaris – also used the same film to create a video accompaniment to this music in another strange loop of computer-generated distortion.
But here the score stands on its own. Sólaris; a journey into an internal world, into the self, a flux of wonder, horror, sorrow and tenderness, and a ravishing sensory experience.
Lem's novel and Tarkovsky's film are both undoubtedly outstanding works, though different in their focus and perspective. Now Frost and Bjarnason's collaboration can be thought of as such, filling a gap with a suitably powerful addition. The artistic context is not a prerequisite, as the forever gripping and occasionally terrifying sounds are universal. It is also not an outwardly sci-fi album and, for its ambition and execution, Sólaris should sit very highly in the curriculum vitaes of both its creators.
Drowned in Sound
They clearly revel in the possibilities of working with an orchestra, inducing the 28-piece Sinfonietta Cracovia to replicate, in acoustic "reality", the effects of digital decay and delay, and contributing their own arsenal of electronics to the brew. The beautifully sculpted results are subtle, sensuous and often majestic.
Tarkovsky's film — in which memory dances with metaphysics and the intimate circles around the utterly alien — is fertile ground for numerous intellectual and emotional evocations. For the most part, Frost and Bjarnson are up to the challenge: there's a richness here, a sense of clashing moods, that calls to mind the music of Johann Johannsson and Tim Hecker (with whom Frost has worked). Even without having seen the film from which this piece takes its inspiration, the rush of sensations and almost tactile quality make this album a worthy entity in its own right.
Dusted Reviews
Solaris is an unsettling, albeit wondrous achievement. It is the perfect way to further expose the world to these wonderful minimalist composers, and an expertly crafted record in its own right. Not only have they captured the complex emotions of Stanislaw Lem's masterwork stunningly well, but they've created a dark, beautiful, and captivating piece of music in the process.
