Claude Monet (November 14, 1840-December 5, 1926) is arguably the most important figure in the foundation of the French Impressionist school of painting. Its most consistent and prolific practitioner, Monet applied the movement's philosophy of exploring and expressing one's perceptions before nature, particularly in his well-known landscape paintings. In fact, the term Impressionism is derived from the title of his 1872 painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). Inspired by the Barbizon painters of the early-nineteenth century, Monet's dedication to painting en plein air led him to question the formalized European traditions of color, composition, and representation. Monet's studies of French landscapes, leisurely activities of the upper-middle class, portraits, architecture, and garden scenes are recognized as seminal influences on not only the late 1800s, but also the painters of the early twentieth century. Monet died in Giverny in 1926, and his home and prolific garden were bequeathed to the French Academy of Fine Arts, and are currently open to the public.

The Ivory Coast, a former French colony, has a varied climate ranging from extreme aridity to pouring rain. Its political system unfortunately is not entirely reliable. Since 1983, the capital of the Ivory Coast has been Yamoussoukro, a city with about 110,000 inhabitants. Apart from its genuinely African name, this city, which is situated away from the coast, has little to offer. All the government agencies, ministries, embassies and large companies have remained in the former capital, Abidjan.

Best Uses
I ordered 2 large planters, but was not entirely sure what to plant. I finally decided to plant some tulip bulbs in one. At first I thought the planter size would be too large, but once the plants matured it looks just right. I'm so delighted with the result that I plan to plant more bulbs in the 2nd planter next year.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Looks classy
- Made well
- Self Watering Time Saver
Best Uses
I used these pots on my porch flagging the door. They look great, well constructed and the self watering really worked. I also bought the Gardener's Supply self watering soil and highly recommend it. I emailed the company to ask how to store them for the winter and got a quick, comprehensive response. I'll save the soil for next year, wash the pots and store them in the basement. The only "con" I can think of is I would like a little lip at the top of the pot for carrying it. The rollers are small so you don't see them which is nice. They work well on my smooth concrete, but not on my deck slats. I'll be buying more for next year.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Self watering feature
- Size
- Casters Are Fixed
- Does not roll easily
- Pot Can Not Be Turned
Best Uses
- Fixed Position Plants
Casters are light duty plastic, fixed in position without hardware. You can move the pot in a straight line but turns are difficult. On arrival two casters were jammed in place and did not rotate at all. Silcone spray helped but not 100%. Not worth time and $ sending back. Would be fine for a plant that will not be moved or need to be rotated to even out growth. On a postive note, info was given about volume of plant medium needed.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I ordered 2 orange pots. I like them very much. At first I thought they were too bright but in the garden they look really nice. The self-watering feature is awesome. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to close the hole on the side of the pots. Every other self-watering pot I've purchased from GS has had a cover. I found this very disappointing because I don't want to breed mosquitos. I hope to figure out a solution soon.
- Truly Works As Described
- a little hard to fill
Best Uses
This product is great. It is important to use a moisture control potting soil. This allows us to only water every 5-6 days in the peak of the summer whereas other pots needed to be watered daily. The only negative is that it is a little difficult to fill the reservoir. A good design change would be to place a fill tube higher on the side of the pot. Love these pots, bought 4 and then 4 more.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Doesn't
Best Uses
- Grouped With Other Pots
- Makes A Solo Statement
- On my deck
This pot and 3 smaller ones bring color and personality to my deck. The pot colors seem to show off whatever color plant you choose to use in them. They should be easy to roll inside for the winter.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Beautiful colors
- Ease of Use
- Excellent directions
- Mobility
Best Uses
- Deck Decorations
Used to hold annuals on our deck. Convenient because i do not have to worry about watering the plants every day just occasionally
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Love these planters, bought 2 large and one small. Will probably be getting more. I have tomatoes in the large and flowers in the small..all grouped together. They look fab! They are difficult to move once they are filled though, so be sure to place them where you want them. The rollers are great on a smooth flat surface but my patio is block so they don't roll easily. Everyone compliments them, you won't regret these.
- Was this a gift?:

- Very Large With Huge Well
- Color Bit Too Loud
- Wheel fell off

- Huge Stuff

We used these for a couple of japanese maple yearlings we had rescued from undergrowth, and were re-establishing for appropriate placement . Real statement pieces.

Bigger than I expected -- which was perfect for my needs. I use these to anchor corners of a large deck with perennials and shrubs. The blue pot looks great against my dark gray/blue house.

Walking Meditation
By Susan Enfield Esrey
Meditation: It's all about sitting still, inside a room, going inward. Right? Well, not necessarily. Buddhist tradition has long incorporated a more active technique known as walking meditation. Popularized in the West by Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh and other teachers, walking meditation often crops up at meditation retreats as a periodic (and often welcome) break from long sessions of sitting. (To learn more, see "Walking Your Mind," on page 78.)
For me—especially on a fine summer morning—a contemplative barefoot circuit of my dewy backyard can sound a whole lot more enticing than hunkering down on a cushion inside. And I seem not to be alone. Across the country, it's getting easier to find opportunities to meditate in action. Dude ranches, sea kayaking outfitters, and wellness retreats now offer programs that combine basic mindfulness practice with everything from backpacking and rock climbing to horseback riding and paddling.
And why not? A growing body of scientific research supports meditation's physiological and psychological benefits, including boosting the immune system, helping lower blood pressure, and reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. "Taking mindfulness outside, into the natural world, is another way of connecting the dots," says Kurt Hoelting, who leads contemplative sea kayaking trips in Alaska. "It helps make it apparent not just intellectually, but also in our bodies, that this process of engagement with the present moment is an avenue to healing and deep restoration."
For some, these activities are a way to explore mindfulness through a pastime they already know and love. Others have established a meditation practice but want to broaden their experience. For just about anyone, these "conscious" outings are a great way to slow down, savor silence (which helps increase awareness of what's really going on, both inside and out), and reconnect with nature—along with one's own mind, body, and spirit.
We've rounded up some of the best inner–outer adventures to get you thinking about life off the zafu.
Barefoot hiking
Sometimes, freeing your feet can be a revolutionary act. For walking meditation, Thich Nhat Hanh recommends ditching footwear. "You can feel the floor and connect with the earth more easily without shoes," he writes in Walking Meditation (Sounds True, 2006). "The flow between you and Mother Earth becomes stronger. The longer you practice walking with this connection, the more your heart will be softened and opened, and the more you will feel nurtured, solid, and taken care of by the earth."
Most "barefooters" don't meditate in any sort of deliberate way, and chances are, they've never heard of Thich Nhat Hanh. But his words certainly would resonate clearly. "Going barefoot makes you feel more connected with nature, that you're part of a bigger universe," says Jim Guttmann, a member of Barefoot Hikers of Minnesota, an informal group that gathers for regular boot-free rambles.

A new series is born!
This series will be run on F1 Challenge 2006 mod on the PC.
There will be 10 teams and 20 drivers.The series will need 10 team managers and 20 drivers. It is your choice whether you want to be a manager or a driver; both have their perks.
As a Team Manager it is your responsibility to sign two race drivers, create a team name, livery and logo; as well as engine supplier. As a team manager you have the added pressure of deciding what driver will be receiving the latest upgrades, when the upgrades will happen; and of course writing up contracts to drivers who you have your eye on. Of course if your team has experienced lesser results; the chance of signing a multiple winning driver is far less likely.
As a manager you have the opportunity to introduce a -0.1 upgrade to the team for only 10 races of the season. It is your decision which 10 races you will choose; however each time you introduce an upgrade you can either decide if it is for the current season or the next season. Obviously this will have an impact on either your current car or your next seasons car which is being researched. The -0.1 upgrade will need to be added to one of the three ability areas. These are Race ability, Qualifying ability, and Rain ability. However you must decide which driver receives the -0.1 upgrade as only one can. In addition to the upgrades; twice a season every team manager is able to introduce a -0.5 development upgrade to a chosen ability area. These -0.5 development upgrades will be chosen after the fifth, and tenth race of the season; and catered for both drivers unlike the -0.1 upgrades.
As in real life Formula One there is always controversy and team orders. This is why once a season you are able to deduct -0.5 from one of the three ability areas of your favorite driver and add the =0.5 from one of the three ability areas to say… your number two driver. This could be used for championship strategy in the closing rounds; say if one of your drivers is in with a real shout and the other is down in 9th place. Of course though this is not necessary, and if your the team manager who believes in fair treatment you do not have to use this method… it is not a compulsory part of the game! Besides do you really want to create uneasy tension in the team and leave one of your drivers upset and knocking at the doors of other teams. Though if your drivers are real team players then by all means… use the method! It may win you the championship!
Like real life it is your job to draw up contracts and send to a driver you have your eye on. However unlike real lifecontracts can not be broken! Sadly this is a shame if you have just signed a driver for two seasons, only to find out he is… perhaps unable to drive fast enough for your team. When a deal is signed you must contact me of the news! Or if your so exited about the signing tell the whole community too, and rub it in to your new drivers previous teams faces…
As the game is run on F1 Challenge, I will email you the car templates to you; where you then will be able to design the car livery! I usually use simple programs such as Paint, or even GIMP. Simply email the finished product back to me and all is good. Though don't worry the car templates used for the 2006 mod are easy to edit! :)
As a race driver it is your responsibility to do your best for the team.. unless you really hate them and want to leave. You as a driver can pick 3 favorite tracks where you will gain a -0.1 in each ability area. As in real life and what is quite necessary you must make pit stops. However because of the way F1 Challenge unfortunately works best, you must make only 1 pit stop on a fuel strategy. Races will be run on 30% race distance; so therefore before each race I will post how many laps it has. You will then pick the lap number you will stop on; barring in mind this will also effect your qualifying performance.
As a driver you have the right to look at teams you may like to drive for. You can ask them for contracts and maybe get them to like you. You could praise them in the media, or you could just drive really well! If your a driver who has just won the championship, but a Sauber like team wants you: why would you go there! Perhaps maybe because they have offered you a clear number 1 driver role. If they have not; demand for it to happen; as a top notch, perhaps arrogant driver you have your rights! Also if your team add +0.5 to one of your ability areas to favor your teammate… make a stand! Unless your a wuss. Remind yourself to persuade the team that you are the rightful driver to receive all the upgrades!
As the game is run on F1 Challenge, I will email you the driver helmet templates to you; where you then will be able to design your iconic race helmet! I usually use simple programs such as Paint, or even GIMP. Simply email the finished product back to me and all is good. If you want to run a special designed helmet for your home race etc, just ask me! :)
So, it is your very own decision whether you want to be a team manager or a race driver. However make your decision quick; as it is first in first served.
In Summary
- championship is run on F1C 2006 mod.
- car choices are every team from the 2006 season; exuding Super Aguri.
- you choose team name, livery, logo. Or helmet.
- The season will be 16 races long. (calendar to be confirmed!)
- Points system is: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Exactly like the 2003-2006 system used in F1 real life.
- managers choose a -0.1 upgrade to an ability area, 10 races a season
- managers choose a -0.5 upgrade to an ability area, twice a season; either for current or nest seasons car.
- drivers pick 3 favorite tracks where they will again a -0.1 performance gain.
- drivers must make only 1 pit stop.
- races run on 30% race distance each Saturday (may change).
- race review videos will be uploaded each week.
Example of ability area choice
- managers and drivers each have 6 points to allocate between three ability areas.
- each ability area must not be below 1 or higher then 6.
- decimals are allowed
- lower numbers are best for F1 Challenge.eg;
Driver 1
Race ability – 1.1
Qualifying ability – 1.1
Rain ability – 3.8Driver 2
Race ability – 1.0
Qualifying ability – 1.3
Rain ability – 3.7Team (chosen by team manager)
Race ability – 2.0
Qualifying ability – 1.8
Rain ability – 2.2The driver and team abilities are then added together to create THE ability for a driver for that season.
So now if we had Driver 1 and Team together we get this. Driver 1′s final ability.
Race ability – 3.1
Qualifying ability – 2.9
Rain ability – 6
So if we can get enough interest for this the game can run! More details soon!
1st May 2013, 1:16 at 1:16 am #232679I would like to be a driver thanks
1st May 2013, 13:50 at 1:50 pm #232680This game looks awesome!
Will do either, which ever needs more!
1st May 2013, 14:44 at 2:44 pm #232681I will be a driver, thanks.
Can I choose for what team? If so, Ferrari please. ;-)
2nd May 2013, 7:04 at 7:04 am #232682Awesome guys, it's a start at least! To be a in a team we need team manager. Also you won't be in a Ferrari; as all teams are completely fictional for team managers to create.
I also just want to add this game doesn't require a heap of amount of commitment; which is great for those who have little time. Just send me your strategy (for drivers) or development and research (for team managers) just once a week.
Races will be simulated on EA Sports F1 Challenge every Saturday. I will then upload a race review video to the forum as soon as I can. All you have to do is watch the videos, see where you are in the pecking order (either driver or team manger", and see where you need to improve your race strategy or car development.
Also please send me your ability areas as I had posted an example of in the first post. You may be wondering why lower numbers are best; that's because of how F1 Challenge works. BUT choose wisely with your chosen ability areas as this will be with you for the whole season; you can use decimal points!
Hopefully some more people become interested in this! Thanks guys! :)

Before you can install Shank you'll need to find the serial number that came with the program. Shank requires that you enter a unique serial number before using it.
If you've lost your serial number, there may be a way to find it as long as Shank is still installed. You might be able to find your Shank serial number if you've uninstalled the program but only if the serial number information was left in the Windows Registry.
The Shank serial number is actually more of a product key than a serial number but the terms are often used interchangeably.
Using a free product key finder program would certainly be the easiest way to find your unique Shank serial number. Product key finder programs automatically search your computer for the product keys and serial numbers that your software programs store in the registry.
If you knew the exact registry key that stored your Shank serial number you could find it manually but that information is usually hard to come by.
Most product key finder programs are designed to find serial numbers and product keys for operating systems like Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP but some of them find serial numbers for several other programs too - programs like Shank.
I've reviewed several product key finders but I haven't been able to personally confirm if any of them will find your Shank serial number. The best key finder programs are quick to download and completely free so feel free to try them all until you find one that will show your Shank serial.
Here are two of the more popular programs that find serial numbers and product keys:
If neither of the above programs find your Shank serial number, give some of the other key finder programs a try from my Free Product Key Finder Programs list. Be sure to let me know what programs did or did not find your Shank serial so I can keep this page updated.
Important: You may have come across Shank keygen programs or other kinds of Shank cracks but keep in mind that these are not legal ways of obtaining serial numbers or product keys. The only legal way of installing this program is by using a valid Shank serial number obtained through a legal purchase of the software.

By Orrin Charm
When an entertainment system is comprised of multiple video components, such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and media servers, it makes sense to share all that content with every TV in your house.The common way to do this is through a device called a matrix switcher. Matrix switchers range from two inputs and two outputs (2x2) for around $200, all the way up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs (32x32) or more for around $16,000.They are intended to be installed and programmed by a custom electronics (CE) professional.
We will focus on Gefen's ToolBox 4x4 Matrix for HDMI to explain the particulars of matrix switching. Deceptively simple on the outside, this 4x4 Matrix for HDMI is actually a very complex device, containing four 1:4 HDMI splitters, a cross-point matrix, and four 4x1 HDMI switchers, all controlled by a microprocessor. Preserving and respecting HDCP data (see sidebar) while avoiding authentication delays requires a lot of processing power. While the integrated circuit chips do the heavy lifting, custom programming, exhaustive testing and quality of customer support are what differentiate the players in this competitive market.
1. HDMI INPUT (1 OF 4). Video sources are connected to each of these jacks.
2. HDMI OUTPUT (1 OF 4). Video displays are connected to each of these jacks.
3. 4X1 HDMI SWITCH IC. This chip selects the source for each HDMI output and equalizes the HDMI signal.
4. IR RECEIVER. The IR receiver allows the matrix to be controlled by a handheld IR remote.
5. EXTERNAL CONTROL PC BOARD. This board holds the RS-232, external IR control and mini-USB (service) ports.
6. STATUS LEDS (16). These LEDs indicate the current switching status of the matrix.
7. SWITCHING PUSH-BUTTONS. Pressing each of these buttons sequentially changes the source for each display.
8. AUDIO SWITCH. This switch determines if each source sends two-channel or multichannel audio.
Orrin Charm is an expert on systems integration, user interfaces, wiring and installation practices. As the Automation Project Manager at Gefen, he oversees all aspects of Gefen's new automation and control line of solutions.
FST (Fast Switching Technology): HDMI requires an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) authentication process every time a video source is connected or switched. FST speeds this process and prevents an interruption of video when another display or source is switched.
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is a form of digital copy protection that prevents the unauthorized copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections, from a source to a display.
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data): EDID is a data stream sent from a display to the source to describe its capabilities, so the source will send the proper signal format and resolution. In a system with multiple displays connected to the same source, EDID management is critical, or displays will not show the proper signal quality.
Resolution: A matrix switcher should maintain the integrity of video resolution and quality throughout the switching process. For example, support for 1080p Full HD with Deep Color will ensure that it can handle any video resolution transparently.

Use sole or flounder fillets to make this main course, too. Serve with sautéed spinach or kale on the side. The pumpkin seeds can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
Walnuts add a little crunch and brown rice takes the place of bread crumbs making these savory vegetarian burgers a great gluten-free meal. Serve with a green salad or cooked greens.
In this dish, a vibrantly colored pesto made from peas and fresh herbs dresses up whole wheat pasta. Try the pesto as a spread on sandwiches and crostini, too.
A simple mixture of lime juice, fish sauce and soy sauce doubles as a marinade and salad dressing in this brightly flavored dish.
Peaches and walnuts make a summery, juicy, flavorful salad dressing.
Enjoy these crispy baked fries as a lively snack or side. Baking at this high temperature requires a little extra attention but it will be worth it. Season using a blend of 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground spices such as ginger, paprika or cinnamon, if you like.
This beautifully colored sipper elevates your neighborhood lemonade stand. Be sure to taste the watermelon first. If it's very sweet, reduce the sugar. Offer some refreshment to the planet and economy by going organic and local when you can.
Thin chicken cutlets cook quickly and evenly, making this recipe a fast weeknight option. A pan sauce of lemon juice, white wine, capers and parsley adds vibrant flavor. Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
Beef and root vegetables impart a rich, hearty flavor to this warm and comforting dish. Pair each bowl with sliced wholegrain bread, a small wedge of English farmhouse cheese and a crisp green salad for a truly satisfying meal. And remember, leftovers are perfect...
These nachos are perfect for leftover barbecued meat of any kind, and the pickled chiles and fresh cilantro help balance out the rich flavors.
Taco seasoning and a splash of beer create a flavorful base for these nachos. Feel free to mix up the ingredients—substitute black beans for the pintos or use halved cherry tomatoes and fresh jalapeños in the pico.
This versatile dressing is great for salads and slaws, but also try it as a dip for veggies or a sandwich spread.
The colorful combination of beets, red grapefruit and mint is as delicious as it is healthy. Roasting your own beets is easy, but for a short cut substitute 14 ounces of the precooked, vacuum-packed beets you can find in the refrigerated section of the produce...
The different colors and textures of the beans and lentils in this recipe produce a wonderfully satisfying salad. Bean salads tend to absorb flavors as they sit, so taste the salad before serving and add more vinegar or black pepper if necessary.
Hearty lentils offer meatless satisfaction in this reinterpretation of a childhood favorite. Serve on toasted whole wheat buns or use as a filling in corn tortillas. Either way, prepare to get a little messy!
This hearty bread pudding is quick to pull together and makes a delicious centerpiece for your brunch table. For easy entertaining, prepare this dish the night before and store the uncooked pudding in the refrigerator.
Collard greens are traditionally paired with smoked meats and braised low and slow for a rich, dark mess o' greens. This meatless version preserves the deep, smoky flavor and meltingly soft texture with smoked paprika and a long braise.
This flavorful meal features some of our favorite wholesome ingredients: seaweed, salmon and whole grain brown rice. For a vegetarian version, try our Spicy Seaweed Salad with Brown...

The Tumi Difference
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
X-Brace 45® Handle System
This patented, innovative handle tube system protects the telescopic handle of the travel case. It is made from lightweight-yet-sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum that forms a protective, impact-absorbing structure around telescoping handle tubes within the case. This feature virtually eliminates damage to the handle tubes while reducing the overall weight of the case.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.
This bag is especially designed for convenient, lightweight mobility, while meeting Tumis rigorous durability standards for checked luggage.
Tegris® is a revolutionary, polypropylene thermoplastic composite material that is incredibly lightweight and exceptionally durable. Created by Milliken ® for use in lifesaving armor, protective sports gear used by the NFL and college football teams and Nascar race car components, Tegris offers unparalleled strength and impact resistance at very light weights. It is consistent with Tumi's high standards of design excellence and is globally exclusive to Tumi for use in travel and accessory products.
Tumi's patent-pending DuraFold™ construction method folds and reinforces the corners of hardside cases with heavy-duty stitching and impact-resistant caps that provide superior corner strength and impact resistance for long lasting use.

Texas cracks down on Amazon.com sales tax controversy
The Alliance for Main Street Fairness says a "true free-market" requires ... regulation.
Amazon has been compared to being the giant sucking sound in retail business. Not anymore.
At least that's what the state's traditional brick-and-mortar retailers hope will be the case now that the online colossal agreed to pay sales tax in Texas. Amazon has long drawn hackles from traditional retailers that claim the Seattle-based Web mammoth enjoyed an unfair advantage because it has not been required to charge sales tax.
Due primarily to the efforts of State Comptroller Susan Combs, Amazon began paying sales tax in Texas on July 1. For many retailers, the start date couldn't have come sooner. They hailed the move, though more than a few expressed bewilderment.
"The end of special treatment for online retailers in the Lone Star State sends a strong message to Washington, D.C., that a true free market requires federal e-fairness legislation," said a statement from Alliance for Main Street Fairness, a coalition of business owners.
Local business owners feel the same way.
"I don't see how some of these online businesses have gotten away with it as long as they have," said Ronald Rodenbaugh, owner of Rodenbaugh's Flooring America and Appliances in Allen. "The way it's always been is that if you have infrastructure within the state, then you should pay sales tax. So if a company is going to put in a warehouse to distribute their products that are sold because of their online sales, then at that point they are doing business in Texas with a physical presence.
"But I think if a company is going to sell in a state they need to pay the sales tax.
"There are a lot of companies that sell consumer electronics, and I've been told they have a lot of customers who come in to be able to feel and touch and to scout a potential purchase that way," Rodenbaugh said. "Then [the customers] go home and buy it online. So for those type of merchants I can see where this would be a big plus."
In addition to selling relatively inexpensive products like books, Amazon deals in big-ticket items such as jewelry and electronics. Those items represent a substantial loss of income for the state, according to Irwin Miller, a counselor at SCORE, a group of retired executives who advise small business owners. "I think this will help both the State and small businesses tremendously," Miller said.
Wells Fargo analyst Matt Nemer offered the opposite view, saying that it may not matter all that much.
A recent survey by Nemer showed that consumers in Texas essentially haven't changed their buying habits since the online sales tax went into effect. Nemer found that among 1,000 Texans surveyed, 27 percent shopped regularly on Amazon.com, down from 30 percent in June.
"That's within the margin of error of 3 percent to 4 percent," he said.
Nemer added the survey found convenience was more important to Texans' shopping habits than the lack of a sales tax.
According to the agreement between the Comptroller of Public Accounts and Amazon, the company plans to create at least 2,500 jobs and make at least $200 million in capital investments in Texas over the next four years, in addition to paying sales tax. The agreement resolves all sales tax issues between Texas and Amazon.
"We thank Amazon for partnering with us to find a solution that works for our state," said Combs in a statement. "This is an important step in leveling the playing field in Texas; however, Congress should enact federal legislation that will give states access to revenues that are already due, which would resolve this issue fairly for all retailers and all states."
R.J. DeSilva, a spokesman for the comptroller's office, said he had no updates on when or where Amazon would begin creating those jobs or making capital improvements in Texas. Neither did Scott Stanzel, a spokesperson for Amazon.
"Amazon looks forward to creating thousands of new jobs in Texas and we appreciate Comptroller Combs working with us to advance federal legislation," said Paul Misener, Amazon vice president of global public policy, in a statement. "We strongly support the creation of a simplified and equitable federal framework, because Congressional action will protect states' rights, level the playing field for all sellers, and give states like Texas the ability to obtain all the sales tax revenue that is already due."
Stanzel somewhat underscored Nemer's earlier assertion when he added that despite having to pay sales tax on purchases, consumers will continue to shop with Amazon because it offers low prices, large selection and fast delivery. For every $100 purchase, the added sales tax is projected to cost shoppers about an additional $8.
Though Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos maintained in a recent interview with The New York Times the sales tax exemption the company previously enjoyed was not much of an advantage, its regulatory filings told a different story. Those filings noted that collecting taxes could "decrease our ability to compete."
Amazon's retail sales in the U.S. this year are on track to be roughly comparable to those of enterprises like McDonald's, Sears and Safeway, according to the report by the Times. And while Amazon's sales are only about 12 percent that of Walmart, the reigning retail kingpin, they are increasing much faster.
Amazon is currently undertaking a multibillion-dollar building frenzy to construct distribution warehouses across the country in order to try and salvage whatever advantage it may have had prior to having to pay sales taxes. If Amazon can truly deliver on its ambitions, said Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst at the research firm Forrester, "it will be the dominant retailer in the decade to come."
