From: “Amazon.com Associates Program”

Subject: Important Notice from the Amazon Associates Program
Dear Colorado-based Amazon Associate:
We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to inform you that the Colorado government recently enacted a law to impose sales tax regulations on online retailers. The regulations are burdensome and no other state has similar rules. The new regulations do not require online retailers to collect sales tax. Instead, they are clearly intended to increase the compliance burden to a point where online retailers will be induced to “voluntarily” collect Colorado sales tax — a course we won’t take.
We and many others strongly opposed this legislation, known as HB 10-1193, but it was enacted anyway. Regrettably, as a result of the new law, we have decided to stop advertising through Associates based in Colorado. We plan to continue to sell to Colorado residents, however, and will advertise through other channels, including through
Associates based in other states.
There is a right way for Colorado to pursue its revenue goals, but this new law is a wrong way. As we repeatedly communicated to Colorado legislators, including those who sponsored and supported the new law, we are not opposed to collecting sales tax within a constitutionally-permissible system applied even-handedly. The US Supreme Court has defined what would be constitutional, and if Colorado would repeal the current law or follow the constitutional approach to collection, we would welcome the opportunity to reinstate Colorado-based Associates.
You may express your views of Colorado’s new law to members of the General Assembly [ http://www.leg.state.co.us/Clics/CLICS2010A/csl.nsf/directory?openframeset= ] and to Governor Ritter [ http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/GovRitter

XY7.COM COOLIO STEW BEEFY
We recently had the pleasure of meeting the Rapper Coolio. Don’t know whether you knew it but the only thing Coolio is done longer than rap is Cook and he has written a new “Cookin with Coolio” cookbook.
It just so happened that our Local Favorite Glazers Food Marketplace deal of the week happens to be the perfect fixins for Cookin with Coolio’s It’s Stew Beefy now of course we are going to kick it up with a little XY7.COM Spice!!
So here we go:
2 lbs Glazers Angus Steak cut into cubes
2 dime bags of salt
2 dime bags of pepper
1 cup chopped onion
4 tbls chopped garlic
2 large potatoes peeled and chopped
5 broccoli tops
4-6 carrots
1 cup beer
1 tsp cayenne pepper (we added this extra)
Preheat your oven to 375 before you do anything else. Take the steak and toss it into a large roasting pan. Season to taste with peenches of salt and pepper. Toss in the onion, garlic, potato, broccoli and carrots. Pour the beer over the mix. Cover the pan, toss it in to your heated oven and let it “chill out” in there for 60-70 minutes.
Serve it like it’s HOT!!!
With the snow covering most of the country, this should be a hit!!!

XY7.COM Italian Sausage Spaghetti
Well, decided to shift gears a little bit on our weekly trip to Glazers Food Emporium in Southwest Las Vegas. Glazers features a “Meal Deal” every week in which includes everything you need for an entire family! It is an incredible deal where you buy the Featured Selection from the Butcher Shop and all the other necessary items for the full meal are included. It is a deal “You can’t Refuse”!. I decided to pick up this meal deal as our What’s Cookin special, now of course, I can’t just serve it up the way they sell it so here we go:
Sauce
- 2 lbs Glazers Italian Sausage
- 4 cans tomato sauce
- 1 onion -diced
- 2 bell peppers -diced
- 6 cloves garlic-chopped
- 3 Roma tomatoes-diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
Brown the ground sausage and drain, add olive oil, add onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, bay leaf and saute’ until vegetables are soft, add tomato sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
Spaghetti
- Just cook as directed, I prefer to use olive oil to keep it from sticking, don’t overcook.
Garlic Toast
- French bread cut in half butter and add some garlic powder and toast.
You can serve with a nice arugula salad if you desire or be a purist and just go for the spaghetti and bread!!
