Transplanted couple falls in love with University District house
Vintage black-and-white photos and sepia-toned portraits line the stairway leading to the second floor in Miranda Steinhauser and Brandon Suman's 1927 Tudor Revival-style home. Surprisingly, the images are of people the couple has never met.
Most depict Ward Seeley and his wife, Marion, original owners of the couple's restored house in Detroit's historic University District. The house was built for Seeley, a prominent doctor who ran the maternity ward at Harper Hospital. Honoring the couple and the house's rich history is important to the new owners, both transplants from Ohio.
The Seeleys, who lived in the house into the early 1950s, wouldn't have recognized the house in 2016 when Steinhauser and Suman bought it. The years between hadn't been kind. A later owner raised six children in the house but third-floor pipes burst after she moved into assisted living and the house was empty, ruining approximately ¼ of the house's 3,600 square feet of living space, including the kitchen and an upstairs bedroom. In a strange twist of fate, one of those children grew up to be Miranda's college professor, who recommended the couple consider the house when Miranda took a job as an automotive designer at General Motors and mentioned she was looking for a house in the city.
By then, they had attended many open houses and looked unsuccessfully at a variety of residences on the market, none of which were either in their price range or had been renovated to their liking. They had narrowed the search to Boston-Edison, Sherwood Forest, East English Village and the University District before the professor's chance email pointed them toward the home near the University of Detroit Mercy.
While some potential owners looked at the rooms that had been gutted due to the burst pipes and saw a disaster, Steinhauser and Suman saw opportunity – to start from scratch, to get their hands dirty, to make the house into what they knew it could be once again. "There was so much potential and so much character," Miranda says.
The couple closed on election day in 2016 and spent the next year renovating before moving in. Miranda chronicled the sometimes painful process on her blog, Between 6 and 7, a nod to the house's west side location. In it she details their efforts to bring the historic house back to life, from removing shag carpeting and flocked wallpaper to restoring radiators. "We now know more than we ever wanted to about steam heat," she jokes.
"The house had been through a lot," she says of its state when they purchased it. Their goal? Keep what original details and materials they could but update the house for contemporary living. "Historic Modern," is what they were going for, Miranda says.
That included opening up the floor plan by combining small spaces and removing walls, removing the former maid's staircase to make room for a spacious contemporary kitchen and eliminating a wall between the library and the dining room to create a lounge. Upstairs, they created a large master bath and closet out of a former Jack-and-Jill bath and a small bedroom and updated other rooms with fresh paint. Miranda calls their decorating "transitional," adding that they like to mix and "didn't want to commit to just one style."
They rave about their contractors, Calvin and Christian Garfield of Maxwell Construction, old house experts they found after hearing a speech by Amy Haimerl, who had restored a house in Indian Village. While the contractors handled the complicated construction, the couple did as much as they could themselves. "Just about everything that didn't require a permit we had a hand in," Brandon adds. "DIY is just code for my arms feel like they're falling off."
That includes clearing the house of the former owner's furnishings, which came with the house. Most of it wasn't salvageable, they say. "It took 9 people, 300 man hours and four dumpsters to empty the house of its contents," Miranda recounts.
The couple recently shared the house and its transformation on the University District home tour, where comments were overwhelmingly positive. "It had sat empty for 10 years, so the neighbors were really happy to see us invest in it," says Brandon. They love their neighborhood and would like to be a resource for other people who are considering restoring a house in the city.
"We hang out with our neighbors three times a week," Miranda says. "We're pretty bought in at this point. We love the city's culture, its community and its grit. We wanted to be part of the action, not watch from the sidelines." They recently started renting a room on Airbnb and have already hosted guests from as far away as Russia.
"We enjoy being ambassadors and having a big enough home to have people come and visit us seemed like the best way to spread our love of the city," Miranda says.

While Boeing expects an overall decrease in research and development funds available in 2011, the company is taking steps to ensure that future 737 and 777 investments are supported.
During the company's fourth quarter 2009 earnings call on 27 January, Boeing CEO James McNerney said he expects the 2011 research and development budget to be a "substantial reduction" from the $3.9 billion to $4.1 billion forecast for 2010 as the flight test programmes for the 747 and 787 wind down. However, he says the remaining budget would continue to allow the company to "pursue potential investments in 737 and 777".
Specifically those investments include potential re-engining of the 737, a study that is currently "under active consideration from a product requirement standpoint", says McNerney.
"We're beginning to harden up alternatives, maturing the technologies with the right amount of R&D spending, and have a wedge in our budget to quickly move on both as the market requires," he says.
Boeing rival Airbus expects to make a decision on re-engining the A320 family during 2010.
Additionally, McNerney acknowledged that an open question remains regarding potential deferrals by existing 737 customers to take advantage of a re-engined airframe later in the decade, putting pressure on existing production rates which have remained at a steady 31 aircraft per month throughout the recession.
"I think there is always this tension when new technology is introduced," says McNerney. Adding that "It's that customer base that is pushing us to consider re-engining, or in some cases, a completely new airplane."
While not offering insight into Boeing's preferred option, McNerney says airlines appear to be focused more on increasing productivity of existing models rather than showing concern about product obsolescence. "That's a change in the behaviour out there. Many of the operators are anxious for us to move," he says.
For the 777, Boeing revealed at the 2009 Paris air show that it was studying a potential re-winging of the large twin-engine aircraft.
McNerney maintains that a decision on the future of the 777 programme would come after more details are available regarding the Airbus A350-1000, and after 737 decision is made.

For those who may not have noticed it, the headline says "deficit" and pertains to Japan: once upon a time a booming export economy. The reason: the ongoing collapse in export trade, after May exports dropped by 10.3% from a year ago, and just better than April severe economic contraction of 12.4%. Consensus was for an 8.4% decline. The net result was a monthly deficit of 853.7 billion yen, or $10.7 billion, the second biggest inverse surplus ever. And just like in Europe, where things are going to go from insolvent to perfectly solvent any minute now... just not yet... so in Japan the economic renaissance which will cause the economy to surge (unclear how: no new monetary stimulus, and the recently announced fiscal stimulus of Y500 billion in new loans will do precisely nothing to boost anything except for some corrupt bureaucrats Swiss bank accounts) is coming any minute.... just not yet. Bloomberg says: "Shortages of power and parts have disrupted production and slowed overseas sales, prompting Japanese companies including Honda Motor Co. to forecast weaker earnings. Higher unemployment in the U.S. and weakening demand in Asia indicate Japan won't be able to rely on global demand to pull itself out of a slump caused by the quake." And the understatement of the weekend comes from BNP economist Azusa Kato: "The state of the global economy is a little worrying. Both the U.S. and Europe aren't doing that great and emerging economies are also tightening at an incredible pace, increasing uncertainty." Surely this enough is enough to explain why futures are up, since the Fed has no option but to do QE3. Alas, as the dumber by the minute algos continue to not realize, the market has to plunge from here (just like what crude has been doing for the past 2 weeks), before the Fed gets the greenlight to engage in Operation Twist 2.
More from Bloomberg:
Recent data suggest the economy's contraction has extended into this quarter. Machinery orders fell 3.3 percent in April, the first decline in four months, a sign companies are reluctant to spend after the March disaster. The unemployment rate climbed and households cut spending in April.
Honda Motor, Japan's third-largest carmaker, last week forecast a bigger-than-estimated 63 percent decline in full-year profit, citing production disruptions on parts shortages and the strong yen.
Hitachi Ltd., a Japanese electronics and power-equipment maker, projected that net income will drop 16 percent in the year ending March 31 after the disaster crippled its factories.
"Given a slowdown in the overseas economy, it's difficult to expect a long-term economic expansion, although a recovery in production is becoming clear," Junko Nishioka, chief economist at RBS Securities in Tokyo, said before the report. "A V-shaped recovery scenario for later this year is looking fragile."
There is some good news: the ongoing collapse in exports to the US, means less imports by the US, means an artificially smaller trade deficit, means higher GDP. Alas, only in the land of economic bean counting is one nation's undisputed collapse the reason for another's growth.
Shipments to the U.S. fell 14.6 percent in May from a year earlier, compared with a 23.3 percent drop in April, the report showed. Sales to Europe decreased 8.8 percent.
Exports to China, Japan's largest market, fell 8.1 percent, compared with a 6.8 percent drop in April. Shipments to Asia, where countries from South Korea to the India have raised borrowing costs to quell inflation, slid 8.7 percent.
An increase in energy prices pushed up import bills. Crude oil prices have gained about 20 percent in the past year and Japan gets virtually all of its oil from abroad. Imports rose 12.3 percent in May from a year earlier, today's report showed.
"Japan's trade deficit could remain intact for a prolonged period," Kyohei Morita, chief economist at Barclays Capital in Tokyo, said before the report. Still, "the driver is likely to change from decreasing exports to increasing imports," which isn't bad as it reflects domestic demand for reconstruction.
As we have claimed since early May, the only possibility for Japan to regain control of its economy is through another massive quantitative easing episode, which however will shift the scales in the USD-JPY carry currency race well to the benefit of the ridiculously strong Yen, something that the banking clergy, whose sole purpose in life is to extinguish the greenback, may not appreciate too much.

Thanks to Greg Kandra at Deacon's Bench for alerting us to this great bit of news from the Diocese of Allentown: the Vatican has given its formal approval for the canonization process for Walter Ciszek, SJ (1904-1984), to begin. Father Ciszek, an American-born Jesuit, and the author of With God in Russiaand He Leadeth Me(both originally published by America Press) is one of the great Jesuits of the 20th century, having endured many years in Soviet labor camps, and, later, anonymous work in Siberian towns, all the while ministering to his fellow human beings as a Jesuit priest, often in grave danger to his life.
Those two magnificent books (written with the help of Daniel J. Flaherty, SJ) are perennial favorites among Catholics--and, by the way, particularly good spiritual reading for retreats. The first book is a straightforward recounting of what transpired in his years in the Soviet Union. The second, as he would say in the introduction, represented the answer to the question that so many asked him after the first book was published: "How did you survive?" That second book, then, was his spiritual testament.
Some background on Father Ciszek: After volunteering to work in Poland in the late 1930s as a young priest, Ciszek found himself in the middle of the turmoil of the Second World War. After the Nazis invaded Warsaw and the Soviets overran Eastern Poland, he fled into the Soviet Union, along with other Polish refugees, and, in 1941, he was captured by the Soviets as a suspected spy. (He was not, of course.) After five years of brutal interrogation in Moscow's notorious Lubianka prison, he was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in a Soviet labor camp in Siberia. Years later, he was released into the general population, and found work in small towns in Siberia.
In all these situations he ministered to men and women as a priest--hearing confessions from other prisoners in drafty corners of his barracks or celebrating Masses on treestumps in the Siberian wilderness--often in danger of being discovered and executed. After years of no contact with the West, Father Ciszek was presumed dead by the American Jesuits, until a surprise letter arrived years later, announcing his survival.) His eventual (and rather daring) release--a complicated prisoner exchange--was negotiated by President John F. Kennedy.
In October 1963, when Father Ciszek returned from his arduous sojourn in the USSR (and years after his brother Jesuit priest had celebrated Masses for his eternal rest) the first place he came was to the headquarters of America magazine. The photograph above, the original of which today hangs outside our editorial offices, is of Father Ciszek being welcomed at America House. (A letter from President Kennedy thanking an intermediary for his release also hangs on our walls.) Thurston Davis, SJ, then the magazine's editor-in-chief, who met him at Idlewild Airport, wrote: "In his green raincoat, grey suit and big-brimmed Russian hat, he looked like the movie version of a stocky little Soviet member of an agricultural mission." In that same issue, Fr. Ciszek wrote a brief statement in which he said, "In spite of seeming failures, I cherish no resentments or regrets for what transpired in the past years."
Father Davis's "Of Many Things" column in our issue of Oct. 26, 1963 has just been posted here. Father Ciszek's deeply moving "First Public Statement" in that same issue, has also been posted here.
He is beloved among American Jesuits, and those who knew him still speak about his kindness and his humility. Among other tributes to him, Ciszek Hall, the community of young Jesuits in "First Studies" Fordham University, is named for him. Father Ciszek is buried with his Jesuit brothers in The Jesuit Center in Wernersville, PA, which was originally Ciszek's novitiate, where he first heard the mysterious call to the East.
Walter Ciszek, SJ, pray for us!
The Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints has issued a decree declaring "valid" the Diocese of Allentown's investigation into the life, virtues and reputation for sanctity of Jesuit priest Father Walter Ciszek, who was born in Shenandoah, Schuylkill County and is buried at the Jesuit Center in Wernersville, Berks County.
Monsignor Anthony Muntone, Diocesan Co-Postulator for Father Ciszek's Cause for Canonization said, "The issuing of the decree by the Congregation is a major step forward in the effort to see Father Ciszek canonized a saint of the Church."
The diocesan investigation took more than a decade to complete. In August 1996, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted a request for a change in responsibility for pursuing Father Ciszek's cause from the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Passaic, NJ, where the Diocesan phase of the cause had begun several years earlier, to the Diocese of Allentown.
Over the next ten years, the Diocese of Allentown completed the Diocesan phase of the inquiry into Father Ciszek's life and reputation for holiness and forwarded all the documents pertaining to the investigation to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome in 2006.
Materials and documentation bolstering the cause included testimony from 45 witnesses, Father Ciszek's published and unpublished works, and transcription of hundreds of his handwritten documents.
The Vatican requested additional documents. In 2011, an additional 4,000 pages of documentation from the Jesuit archives in the United States and Rome, the original store of documents archived at the Father Ciszek Center, Shenandoah, and other important documents obtained from state records in Russia, were compiled and sent to the Vatican.
Father Ciszek was a Jesuit missionary to the Soviet Union who was arrested as a spy for the Vatican and held prisoner for 23 years until he was returned to the U.S. in a spy exchange in 1963.
More here on the diocesan website. Also, the Father Walter Ciszek Prayer League, dedicated to his canonization, and boasting a wealth of resources, is here.
I confess I was goading you! :)
I timed your response and on this I was wrong,I said it would be less than 20 minutes
but you failed me.
My reasoning was that the Vatican Saint Factory works along certain lines and they need to pull in the pilgrims every few years and it was about time to get a few headlines for the right reasons and so they were going to pull out an American and that could have been anyone but Fr John Hardon would have seemed to be a good bet.
But then this came to light
I think all of this should push us to inquire what holiness really is.
That aside , those are beautiful words by the man on the stump.
For once I actually read all of your excerpt! :)
@Jim Keane,
That piece of Jesuit lore is like something from the Manchurian candidate.
What to make of his food comments?. I grew up feeling guilty about food as did most Irish people due to the influence of missionaries who told us of the starving in Africa.The result was a more plump Irish.But I am sure he meant it not as a judgement on his fellow Americans but as an insight to value what we have and to give thanks and to be aware of our place in this world.
Nevertheless, after all these years and even with our fraternal dark humor, many of us admit to having been moved and inspired by his accounts.... Seems like saint material to me...
@Dave P,
I have been thinking of buying that book for the last couple of years but each time I plump for something else.
He tried to find God in all things according to the Book and it would be nice if it were true.I am dubious as to the process of canonization as it is usually politically motivated and in this case we have a guy who lived under a Godless regime.....This probably means that Fr Hardon's cause is going to be shelved.Look forward to hearing any more anecdotes like yours Dave so that we may discover another interesting soul in our midst.
The spirit must not be blowing my way or I may have a residue of scruples locked up somewhere.
We will only see what His will is for sure when we shuffle off this mortal coil.
Until then we must "test everything and hold fast to what is good".
Anyway, this is about Fr Ciszek and so we should not sidetrack the conversation.
"God is in all things, sustains all things, directs all things. To discern this in every situation and circumstance, to see His will in all things, was to accept each circumstance and situation and let oneself be borne along in perfect confidence and trust. Nothing could separate me from Him, because He was in all things. "
Are you saying he lifted this stuff from a Frenchman??

|St Norbert: Founder of the Premonstatensians
The Father-Prior, Fr Hugh Allan welcomed me and an enquirer who has finished studying a law degree and is discerning a vocation.
Like myself, he seemed to love it there and it seemed to me that within this community he was in his element. A young novice had arrived just the day before to begin his novitiate and there was a heartening mixture of youth and maturity present in the community. It felt like a community alive and growing, not overflowing with vocations perhaps, but able to attract young men with its mission for the salvation of souls.
Many things attracted me to the community, not least the sense that here is a community that is united in Christ - united in fraternal charity, brotherly love. Rather than being 'united in differences', they were united in Faith. Faith wrought harmony there. This is what one would expect of any religious community but, of course, it is not always so. While the personalities involved in the mission are different, I sensed a genuine love and concern for each other that I do not think I have seen anywhere else.
At the very heart of the community is a profound love for the Blessed Sacrament which seems to drive all that they do. While other religious orders, though less so in England, have abandoned the habit, the Norbertines dress at all times in their resplendent white habit which represents the purity of the Blessed Mother of God and of those who wish to be dedicated sons of Our Blessed Lady and lovers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
|'Benedict Effect': Fr Rupert's first Mass at Our Lady Immaculate Church
It was truly a great joy to be able to sing Vespers and Compline with the community and also to spend an hour in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with them. As well as love and fidelity for the Holy Father, there was a real admiration and appreciation for the work, teachings and spirituality of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. Pray for them that they may continue to attract young men to lay down their lives in love for Christ and His Church.
|St Norbert receives St Augustine's rule
As well as this, though, they know how to laugh together, how to serve one another, forgive one another and to pray together as a community united.
I am certain that God is doing wonderful things through them and for the Faithful of Chelmsford. May their mission for the proclamation of the Gospel and the salvation of souls continue to yield a rich harvest of vocations.

AMHERST, MA – The Amherst College women's lacrosse team failed to get back on the winning track, as the No. 6 Lord Jeffs fell to No. 12 Babson College in a back-and-forth non-conference battle. Amherst's second consecutive loss of the season moves the Jeffs to 6-3 overall, while the Beavers improve to 9-2.
Amherst gained control of the first draw and wasted no time, as senior quad-captain Alyssa Briody (Hopewell, NJ) set up junior Maddie Hoeg (Shoreham, NY) for the first goal less than one minute into the game. Babson got a sense of déjà vu 45 seconds later when Briody and Hoeg connected for the second time, giving the Jeffs an early 2-0 lead.
The Beavers got on the board after five minutes of action when first-year Anna Collins assisted on junior Anita Martignetti's 25th goal of the season. Sophomore Amy Craig (Denver, CO) netted her 26th goal of the season five minutes later, with Hoeg picking up the assist for her third point of the game.
Babson was given the first free position attempt of the night, and Martignetti made it count to cut her team's deficit to one goal. Martignetti was given another free position attempt six minutes later, bouncing her shot past Amherst goalie Linda McEvoy (Rochester, NY) to tie the game at 3-3, forcing Amherst to call a timeout with 12:25 on the clock.
Briody picked up her third assist of the game just 69 seconds out of the timeout when she set up Craig's second goal of the evening, but the Jeffs' lead disappeared when a costly turnover in their defensive end led directly to a Collins unassisted goal. It only took 24 more seconds for the Beavers to net their fifth goal and take their first lead of the game, as first-year Kaitlyn Pettengill converted for another free position goal.
Babson made one final charge in the final minute of the first half, but senior tri-captain Ashley Platt's shot sailed high as the buzzer sounded, sending the Beavers into intermission with a 5-4 advantage.
Collins ripped a shot from close range midway through the half, but McEvoy came up with a big save to preserve the lead. The Beavers kept the pressure on, however, as Martignetti sent in a pass from behind the net to find a streaking Platt, who tied the game at 6-6 with a quick catch-and-release that found its way to the back of the net. Craig got things going in the second half when she sent a hard shot low past Babson keeper Jennie Williams' right side to tie the game at 5-5 four minutes and 13 seconds into the frame. The second goal of the half did not come for another five minutes and 25 seconds when Craig chalked up her fourth tally with the assist going to Briody, giving the lead back to Amherst with 20 minutes to play.
Martignetti was given another free position opportunity with nine minutes remaining in the half, but McEvoy once again came up with a big save to keep the game in a deadlock. Another costly Amherst turnover in the Jeffs' defensive end, however, allowed Platt to take control and find Martignetti sprinting toward the goal to score her fourth goal of the game, resulting in another Amherst timeout with just eight minutes to play.
The Beavers regained possession and were able to work nearly four minutes off the clock before Collins took a shot that sailed high and wide, but possession was given right back to Babson. Amherst finally got the ball back with two minutes to play, but the Jeffs quickly turned the ball over with an offsides call.
A Babson turnover gave Amherst one final run with 1:00 showing on the clock, but the Jeffs once again could not hold on to the ball for long enough to work any offense, as the Beavers ran out the clock and picked up the 7-6 upset.
McEvoy and Williams each played the full 60 minutes, with McEvoy picking up four saves in net and Williams stopping three shots. Craig led Amherst with four goals, while Hoeg added a pair and Briody assisted on three. Martignetti led the Babson attack with four goals and one assist.
Amherst did not have a free position shot all night, while Babson converted on three attempts in the first half alone. The key of the second half for the Beavers was their decrease in turnovers, as they committed only seven compared to 17 in the first 30 minutes.
The Lord Jeffs return to action Saturday for a home NESCAC match-up with archrival Williams College at 11 a.m.


text: Articles 2014 April Closing Florida's Office of Drug Control May Increase Drug Cases Previous Post | Next Post Closing Florida's Office of Drug Control May Increase Drug Cases Posted By Rothman & Associates, P.A. || 18-Apr-2014 The Florida Office of Drug Control has worked together with the Office of Planning and Budget within the state's executive branch over the past decade to foster strategies to limit the ill effects of substance abuse statewide. Part of that advocacy has been coming up with law enforcement strategies to decrease illicit drug supplies throughout the state. But its mission statement has long promoted two equally important alternatives: prevention and treatment. One of the first acts of Florida's new governor, Rick Scott, was to eliminate the Office of Drug Control, which drew protests from a range of anti-drug advocates, including the Drug Free America Foundation. "Without this office, Florida will most assuredly face the prospect of increased substance abuse, treatment costs, medical costs, crime and incarceration," the foundation's Executive Director Calvina Fay said in a press release. While Gov. Scott's decision to close the office was fiscally motivated, critics point out that its half-million-dollar annual budget was extremely small in comparison to the problem it fought against - some advocates estimate the annual costs of drug and alcohol abuse in Florida to exceed $45 billion. By fostering drug prevention programs and channeling federal funds to local communities, the Office of Drug Control provided documentable benefits, not the least of which was reducing activity that led to charges of drug possession, drug trafficking and cultivation of marijuana or manufacture of methamphetamines. When Addiction Leads to Drug Charges, a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Suggest Solutions An increased incidence of drug crime prosecutions of people who would benefit from substance abuse treatment would be an unwelcome result for Florida communities, from Miami-Dade to the Panhandle. But in the event that a person challenged with drug addiction faces criminal prosecution, securing dedicated advocacy from an experienced drug crimes defense attorney is an important, early step. Early intervention in any criminal matter can improve the future prospects of someone charged with a controlled substance crime. Chemical dependency is one factor among many that can influence everything from the level of charges filed to the consequences of a conviction. The sooner a person seeks help and secures professional advice from substance abuse counselors and a drug crimes defense lawyer, the better the prospects for treatment and recovery rather than indictment, conviction and incarceration.

hey hey, it's been a while since I've posted here, but I'm getting back into the swing of things.
I usually post more on my Tumblr , so check me out there if you're so inclined.
Edward Graham joins the Chicago Black Hawks (1930)Posted in vanishing America with tags chicago, hockey, Thirties, vanishing America on February 24, 2010 by All Conference Vintage
"Three-quarter length portrait of Chicago Black Hawks ice hockey player Edward "Teddy" Graham standing on an ice rink in a sports arena in Chicago, Illinois, holding a hockey stick. Secured from the Tulsa Oilers in a trade for Ralph Taylor."
1930 was just the fourth year of the Black Hawks' long and fabled history and their first in the brand new Chicago Stadium (1800 W. Madison)- the roars of which live on in echo at the new United Center across the street.
That 1930s Blackhawks sweater is a real charmer! Those "barber pole" stripes are really attractive and you can't beat that old school 'Hawks logo. But how hideous are those gloves! They look like gnarled hotdogs grafted on to oven mitts! They must have been difficult to drop in the event of an on-ice donnybrook since they go up to the elbow.
I can't imagine how brutal hockey was in 1930- the era before goalie masks, helmets, or much real padding.

- What is Amazon Prime Pantry?
- What Can You Buy in Amazon Prime Pantry?
- How Does Amazon Pantry Work?
- How to use Amazon Pantry
- How to Save with Amazon Prime Pantry
- Amazon Prime Pantry Review
- Amazon Pantry FAQ
Amazon's new Prime Pantry is a innovative service from Amazon for Prime Members that allows you to bundle household items and save big on bulk buying.
In the article I am going to explain what Amazon Pantry is, how to use it and some great tips to find the best Amazon Pantry deals.
What is Amazon Prime Pantry?
Amazon's New Prime Pantry service is a store where Amazon Prime members can shop for household products like groceries, beverages and every day toiletries. The addition of Prime Pantry in Amazon has allowed them to expand their selection of items to offer 100,000's of popular items for Prime Members.
With fulfillment centers all around the United States, Amazon Pantry can save you tons of money on your groceries by allowing you to buy bulk items and get free shipping.
What Can You Buy in Amazon Prime Pantry?
There are over 100,000 products eligible for the Prime Pantry program in the following categories:
- Groceries
- Household supplies
- Personal care products
- Pet supplies
- Baby care and food Items
- Auto supplies
- Health care items
- Industrial and office supplies
- Beauty products
The Prime Pantry is practically a grocery store so you can buy anything you will find at your local Grocer… but more.
How Does Amazon Pantry Work?
Amazon Pantry is not like the rest of Amazon. It's more like a virtual pantry where you can add grocery items you need as they run out at home. When you add items to your Pantry, it will fill up a pantry box that can hold up to 45 pounds. Once your box is filled, you can ship your items out and save big by bulk buying your groceries.
Amazon Pantry has a flat rate shipping fee of $5.99 or you can bundle 5 qualifying items and you will get free shipping on your Pantry Box which makes getting your groceries fast, cheap and easy.
You can shop from a number of categories like:
- Food
- Beverages
- Household & Pets
- Beauty & Grooming
- Wellness & Healthcare
- Coupons & Deals
To get started with Amazon Pantry, you must have a Prime Membership.
If you already have an Amazon Prime account, then you are already qualified to use Amazon Pantry for free and you can start shopping right now.
Sounds pretty cool right? But how in the heck do you use Amazon Pantry?
How to use Amazon Pantry
Using Amazon Prime Pantry is pretty simple if you already have a Prime membership.
Just login to your Amazon account and click the departments tab on the top left menu. You will see a dropdown where you can select 'Food & Grocery'.
In the sub menu, you will see the Prime Pantry link where you can start building your virtual pantry.
You can also go straight to the Amazon Pantry here.
When you reach the Amazon Prime Pantry page, you are ready to start shopping for your favorite grocery items.
To add items to your virtual Pantry, just look for eligible items that contain the Prime Pantry logo.
You will also notice a small text under the price that says "Fills X.X% of your Pantry Box". This tells you how much the item will take up in your Prime Pantry.
Remember that bulky items will take up more percentage of your Pantry box, so you can save more by choosing more smaller items to fill up your Pantry.
When you create your first Prime Pantry Box, Amazon will start building your Pantry.
Begin adding your items until your Pantry Box is 100% full. You will see the progress on the right sidebar of Amazon. It gets a little tough at the end to find the right item to make your Pantry box exactly 100% full. If you go over, Amazon will start building a new (different) Pantry Box so make sure you don't go over if you are only wanting 1 Pantry Box.
Amazon will remember the items you buy so re-ordering groceries is super simple.
Before you checkout, make sure that you check out the Pantry Coupons & Deals section to see if any of your items qualifying.
How to Save with Amazon Prime Pantry
Just by using Amazon Prime Pantry and building your virtual Pantry box will help you save tons by buying bulk… but there are also other great ways to save with Amazon's Prime Pantry.
The Coupons & Deals section of Prime Pantry features thousands of great discounts and coupons for your favorite Pantry items.
Amazon Pantry Deals & Coupons
To find the Coupons and Deals section, just head to the Prime Pantry homepage and then select the 'Coupon & Deals' link.
Now you can browse thousands of coupons for every day items. Look for deals on the items you have added to your pantry to see if you can find any more savings.
Most discounts here are pretty small, ranging from 1%-5% savings or $.01-$2.00 savings but if you can find a coupon for most of your Pantry, then the discounts will really add up.
Amazon Prime Pantry Review
Overall, the Prime Pantry is a cool idea if you hate going to the grocery store every week and getting the same things. You can pretty much automate this so that you just your stuff when you need it. Its nice that it remembers your previous Pantry for easy future ordering.
I think its great the Amazon Prime Pantry is free to all Prime members. If you can get the 5 eligible items in your pantry for the free shipping, it's totally worth it.
I was able to save $38 on a recent Pantry box by using coupons and deals from the Pantry Deals area. This kind of savings coupled with the free shipping makes it a prettty great service in my opinion.
A lot of people don't like making this big of purchase on a set schedule or having to go through the Pantry every time to find items.
Amazon has a service for those people as well called Subscribe and Save. It allows you to subscribe to common products so that you get them when you need them on a set schedule.
Amazon Pantry FAQ
How much does Amazon Prime Pantry Cost?
Prime Pantry is technically free for Amazon Prime members. Amazon Prime has a few different memberships, so Prime Pantry costs as much as you pay for Amazon Prime.

Top wines of the month in four price brackets
under seven pounds
Hermits Hill, Botrytis Semillon 2008, Australia
These inexpensive and usually delicious little Botrytis dessert wines from Australia can be great bargains: at only £6.99 it wouldn't be a great sacrifice to stick one of these wines in the fridge to match with mid-week cheeses or the stickiest desserts. Made for M&S by de Bortoli, it has a fine barley sugar and gentle figgy nose, with some toast and little dried apricot fruit. On the palate there's some real juicy life about this with a cut of apple and of lemon, but nicely judged Botrytis adding rich notes and a medium-bodied texture as well as balanced sweetness. £6.99 per 37.5cl. Available online in cases of six half-bottles from marksandspencer.com
under a tenner
Domaine Les Grands Presbyteres, Wild Yeast Muscadet 2009, France
Screwcapped and with only 12% ABV this is a very modern Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie from Nelly Marzelleau, but a different take on the region's traditional style too. Apparently bottled after an experimental batch of wild yeast-fermented wine gave stunning results," it does indeed have the tell-tale nose of yeast, earth and gently nutty notes of wild yeast fermentation going on to reveal a delicate saltiness and pear fruit. The palate has juicy, deliciously ripe fruit, the intensity feeling so natural and unforced, staying sweet but with a big lemon and sharp apple raft of acidity. Delicious, long, seafood-friendly and different. £8.00, WoodWinters.
under twenty
Howard's Folly, Alvarinho 2010, Portugal
This is a thoroughly modern Vinho Verde made from the Alvarinho grape – the same grape as Spain's Albariño – which is simply exquisite: the nose is flooded with delicate floral and more direct lime and lemon fruit, with a fine hint of salty minerals too. On the palate it fills the mouth with flavour that is substantial and richly textured, yet that saline touch and the tangy core of zesty fruit is mouthwatering and deliciously drinkable. It is long, beautifully made and an excellent example of the New Vinho Verde. Lots more details and food-matching ideas in the video. Around £12. Stockists include Hanging Ditch, St Martin Vintners, Bowland Forest Vintners, Wine Service, Field & Fawcett, Halifax Wine Co, Sommelier Wines, Great Grog Co.
sky's the limit
Neige, Première Ice Cider, Canada
Is it a wine or is it a cider? The producer's own information seems to suggest the classifications are interchangeable, but as it is described as a 13% ABV cider on the label, that's what we'll call it. Made by the same techniques as Canada's famous icewines, the McIntosh and Spartan variety apples were harvested in late autumn from orchards in the Monteregie region of Quebec, bordering the state of New York. The pressed juice was then left outdoors into January, with a natural freezing and crystalization process concentrating the must to one quarter of the intial juice volume. The rich golden colour is appealing, and the nose has lots of fresh, ripe, concentrated red apple and pear skin aromas with a touch of honey and baked apple pie. In the mouth this has lots of tang and sharpness, despite a honeyed character and rich texture, the 151g/l of residual sugar giving persistent sweetness, but the finish tangy and lively. The label recommends having this with sharp cheeses, but I tried a glass with tarte tatin and it was fabulous. 92/100. Around £25.00, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Partridges, Paxton & Whitfield, Corks Out.

Jen, I smirked when I saw the Santa hat you had added to your header. ;-} Cute!
I was also impressed with the rock on your hand, which showed in the tutitorial about making a clothes pin manger. Nice!!
I keep 'meaning' to tell you about {I know you never have that problem with good intentions ;-p) these Christmas trees I saw which TOTALLY made me think of you.
The night after Thanksgiving, we met Brian's side of the family for dinner in this O-L-D church, which has been converted into a resteraunt, which is decorated for Christmas year round and it's name is Noel {it's in Jamestown, MI}.
After dinner all of us went through their basement gift shop, and then wandered down the street a short distance to this nearby craft store. I entered the shop and immediatly knew I had to do a super duper quick 'look see' and then get out! There were so many lit scented candles and potporie (Wish comment sections had spell check! 8-/), and I have allergy triggered asthma - a BAD combination!!!
Any-ways, she had these Christmas trees which were very cute - and I honestly wondered if you were her provider of them! Honest!! Ask my daughter-in-love!
The trees were anywhere from about 2 1/2 inches tall to about 8 inches tall. They were made out of narrow strips of material, which had been wound into balls, and then layer after layer stacked together to create Christmas trees.
Most of the narrow(torn edged) strips of material had green background, with red or yellow print on it. But here or there they had placed a ball made from a red background material, with green and yellow print on it.
Like I said, they were very cute - and totally a 'Jen from Lipstick and Laundry' thing!!!!
Jen & Elise - Recently I spotted these salt and pepper shakers that made me think of the two of you, your interests and your friendship. The shakers were squirrels - holding acorns :-D

Turkey will build its third nuclear power plant in the region of Thrace, opposite of Greece, Turkish Energy Minister Berat Albayrak said.
The Turkish minister said in an interview with the newspaper 'Vatan' that the reason is that "that region uses very large amounts of energy but there is not enough production in the same area".
"It is likely that we will announce the details in 2018", he said.
The Turkish Minister in his interview with CNN Türk announced that in 2023 Turkey's first nuclear power station in Akkuyu will be operational. This station is manufactured by the Russian company Rosatom.

Living Rightly
Today's reading: Psalm 26:1-12
David begins and concludes Psalm 26 with comments about his integrity. In verse 1 he states, "I have walked in my integrity" and then follows this statement up saying he has trusted in God and acted rightly. Then as he closes this psalm, David, now looking forward, proclaims "I will walk in my integrity" and publically bless the Lord. (vs. 11-12).
What does walking in integrity mean for you personally? Will you join David in declaring "I will walk in my integrity" going forward? Tami

Well, I must say I am a little disappointed in my ability to get "it" all in this week. I had such great plans early in the week and because I had many unexpected things come up (Candace to the doctors, moving to the new locations for our gym, working late at night two nights, dinner out with a friend) I have had to let it gooooooo. It has been an emotional struggle but feel I have grown. I know that I cannot get up at 4:00 a.m. and be my best for my family, my clients or myself. I need my sleep.
Balance sometimes means being flexible and letting go of my expectations. I plan this weekend to spend some time getting organized for the next week and hopefully my blog will not be what is suffering!
I am running a trail run at Battle Creek this weekend. It is the first time I have run 5 miles. Rather exciting! I will have pictures and stores to share!
Peace to you this weekend. Have a healthy restful time.

We've had a busy 2019 so far, doing both a photo session and a recording session in the same week! The final sounds & images are still in production, but we are very pleased with the results so far.
We spent a lovely day at Sky Ranch Studio laying down demo tracks. Randy and Jay took great care of us, letting us do our thing our way while adding their insight and expertise as we went along. They learned more about our style and we learned about their personal connections to some of our songs (and their love for pizza).
Communicating By Sonar
As a jazz band, when we perform and improvise together, we are often listening and communicating through eye contact, words, and musical intonation. However in this session, in order to get our best sound we needed to use the bathroom as a makeshift isolation booth for vocals. Since Olivia was singing in the bathroom with the door closed, this meant that she was out of view from the rest of the band and we had to improvise on the spot by only listening to musical intonation, a new and interesting challenge for everyone (except Jim, who depends solely on his ears). The vocal sound we got was completely worth it, and we discovered nuances in our music that we might have overlooked before.
Reality Check
Several times during the session, we found ourselves struck by the reality of what we were doing. Those moments when you stop and realize, "Hey! We're doing a session in a recording studio! Just like real musicians! Wait a minute…we are real musicians! How about that?"
We walked in with four songs mostly ready to go, and walked out with five songs completed! We are told that five songs is enough for an EP. In giving that idea more thought, we might swing back into the studio with more songs and turn this project into our first full-length album. Time will tell.
For the most part we were focused on the tasks at hand, but these little moments of amazement help to keep us grounded. While we hope these activities will become commonplace, we know the importance of keeping that sense of wonder at having the opportunity to have these experiences. It makes us want to do better, reach higher, and make the best music we possibly can.
The finished tracks are now officially up! Check them out here!

Happiness hit her like a train on a track...
Florence And The Machine's performance on the MTV Awards wasn't just good, it was - or will soon be - legendary. Literally the best performance of the night. She was vocally perfect, visually stunning and, this is the important thing, clearly in the moment, occasionally smiling as if she too was blown away by what was happening. It must have been interesting in the auditorium, where you can bet a large number of the crowd had no idea who she was. What Florence does is unlike anything out there right now, not just because she can really belt a tune. She is one of the best and brightest stars to come along in many years.
Click on the photo to watch the performance and also check out this report and video on the rehearsals. UK fans can watch the performance here.

That was great, and I didn't even love that song particularly beforehand. She looks very old Hollywood!

The revelation of fallibility is no longer a revelation at all; it ought to be a given at this point in story-telling, but people still think it's novel to retell Goldilocks from the Wolf's point of view.

The Image of God with David Aikman
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)
There are few verses more contested in the Bible. And there may be none more central to the transcendent question of who we ultimately are as human beings. Renowned journalist Dr. David Aikman (Time magazine) and a team of respected scientists explore the biblical and scientific evidence.
Was man supernaturally created out of inanimate matter and fashioned in the "image" of his Creator? Or is he descended from, in the words of Charles Darwin, "a tree-dwelling, hairy creature with a long tail and pointed ears…?" Dr. David Aikman (renowned journalist and best-selling author) talks to a number of scientists who present compelling new scientific evidence supporting the Biblical account of man's creation.
Dr. Sigrid Hartwig-Scherer shows that the fossil evidence supports the Genesis model of repopulation after a relatively recent global flood. Dr. Marvin Lubenow explains that some supposed ape-men are true humans, while others are fossils of extinct apes, misidentified as human ancestors. And then we visit Evolution's "Hall of Fame" and meet some alleged ape-men, including Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus, and Piltdown Man. Dr. Chris Stringer of the Nature History Museum, and Dr. Fred Spoor examine the Darwinian view of human origins and show that it really is more a faith or a philosophy than it is a science.
