So I was trolling around the web today and guess what I found.
I found that I can set up a Custom Search Engine for Google and set it up on my web page.
Ok, ok, so it's more junk for you web page you say.
Not so say I.
How would you like to have all your web visitors to search from your website to sites that you can control; your suppliers website for instance.
Here's the link

Bring Your Own Bag
A few meetings ago I proposed that we produce our own reusable bag program, to be branded by the NBA.
Pricing received by Craig at Mountain Baby indicate that it will cost approximately $1.25 per bag for 5000 bags with our branding.
We could sell these for 1.99 each and split the profits between the NBA and an environmental group of our choosing.
To make this happen, and so that no one business is shouldering the burden of putting up all the money.
I would like to see 15 businesses to step up to the plate and get involved in this startup.
The benefits to those involved will be, less money spent on your own plastic bags, more media exposure, the knowlege that you are helping to reduce the ammount of bags going into the waste stream, other businesses not involved coming in to learn how to get in on the program, and finally, more exposure for the NBA.
I am in for the initial share.
Who else will step up?

Gerry MacKinnon
Identity Theft and scams took 2.5 trillion dollars out of the world economy last year. On an average data breach where a company is hit by identity theft, that company will loose 40% of their client base, due to the trust factor of protecting their clients information. In April 2,200 companies were hit with civil actions after loosing client, employee or others information in data breaches. 89% of the data breaches were a direct result of employee theft or employee mistakes. Call him for your risk assessment of your company regarding Identity Theft/Privacy act compliance. There will not be a cost to the company for this.
