THIS LINK IS TERMINATED

YOUR access to the internet has been restricted

On July 1st 2011 Governor Jerry Brown signed the CLICK-THROUGH NEXUS BILL — or, the California Affiliate Tax – ABx1 28

Several other states have already passed similar CLICK-THROUGH NEXUS BILLS to collect sales tax on purchases over the internet.

In plain English, any affiliate (like OUR WEBSITE) that promotes products of other SELLERS could be liable for paying sales tax on those purchases.

As a result, SELLERS have terminated business in several states including California.

For example, AMAZON has terminated the Amazon Associates Program with California residents. As a result, individuals or websites (like OUR WEBSITE) in CALIFORNIA will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com

YOU – the consumer, will have to go directly to the SELLER like Amazon.com to make purchases.

BOTTOM LINE

As more states pass CLICK-THROUGH NEXUS BILLS the consumer will…
1) Have to go directly to the SELLER to make purchases.
2) May have to pay sales tax on purchases
(depending on sales tax laws in each state)
3) May have to pay higher prices for purchases to offset advertising costs
(and/or lawyer fees to sort out requirements of new laws).

There will be fewer websites promoting products (ie. Less consumer reviews, articles on products, price comparison by a neutral site).

In fact, our website will be removing several banners, links and articles from our website as we evaluate the impact of this new BILL.

Thank You
Wayne McDonald

See if you PASS THE TEST for manners.

25 Manners Every Kid Should Know By Age 9
by Parents.com, on Tue May 3, 2011 1:21pm PDT

Helping your child master these simple rules of etiquette will get him noticed — for all the right reasons. By David Lowry, Ph.D.

Your child’s rude ‘tude isn’t always intentional. Sometimes kids just don’t realize it’s impolite to interrupt, pick their nose, or loudly observe that the lady walking in front of them has a large behind. And in the hustle and bustle of daily life, busy moms and dads don’t always have the time to focus on etiquette. But if you reinforce these 25 must-do manners, you’ll raise a polite, kind, well-liked child.-

Manner #1

When asking for something, say “Please.”

Manner #2

When receiving something, say “Thank you.”

Manner #3

Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency. They will notice you and respond when they are finished talking.

Manner #4

If you do need to get somebody’s attention right away, the phrase “excuse me” is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation.

Manner #5

When you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first. It can save you from many hours of grief later.

Manner #6

The world is not interested in what you dislike. Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults.

Manner #7

Do not comment on other people’s physical characteristics unless, of course, it’s to compliment them, which is always welcome.

Manner #8

When people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are.

Manner #9

When you have spent time at your friend’s house, remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had.

Manner #10

Knock on closed doors — and wait to see if there’s a response — before entering.

Manner #11

When you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling.

Manner #12

Be appreciative and say “thank you” for any gift you receive. In the age of e-mail, a handwritten thank-you note can have a powerful effect.

Manner #13

Never use foul language in front of adults. Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant.

Manner #14

Don’t call people mean names.

Manner #15

Do not make fun of anyone for any reason. Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel.

Manner #16

Even if a play or an assembly is boring, sit through it quietly and pretend that you are interested. The performers and presenters are doing their best.

Manner #17

If you bump into somebody, immediately say “Excuse me.”

Manner #18

Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don’t pick your nose in public.

Manner #19

As you walk through a door, look to see if you can hold it open for someone else.

Manner #20

If you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor working on something, ask if you can help. If they say “yes,” do so — you may learn something new.

Manner #21

When an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling and with a smile.

Manner #22

When someone helps you, say “thank you.” That person will likely want to help you again. This is especially true with teachers!

Manner #23

Use eating utensils properly. If you are unsure how to do so, ask your parents to teach you or watch what adults do.

Manner #24

Keep a napkin on your lap; use it to wipe your mouth when necessary.

Manner #25

Don’t reach for things at the table; ask to have them passed.
