The Best Bottomless Brunch Deal in Every State (Where It's Legal) Gallery
I love brunch, you love brunch, he loves brunch, she loves brunch - we all love brunch so much it's actually become a verb. Are you guys ready to brunch? All week, we look forward to dressing up (or down) to sit with our friends in lively spaces to socialize, eat and Instagram trendy foods, and most importantly to day-drink mimosas and bloody marys - and lots of them.
We often fantasize about fluffy buttermilk pancakes dripping with maple syrup or the sensual pop of poached egg yolk oozing down an English muffin, but there's no denying that booze is the main attraction. Alcoholic beverages can run up quite the tab if you order by the glass, so if you want to make the most out of your Sunday fun day, you may as well go bottomless.
In an extensive search for the best unlimited drink specials, we first called alcoholic beverage authorities in every single state and Washington, D.C., to find out where such promotions are actually legal. But even in places where it's unlawful, some establishments work around restrictions by offering drinks for as cheap as a penny. We'll drink responsibly to that.
So scrape up the quarters between your couch cushions or sell an old family heirloom (kidding, please don't do that) and have your designated driver drop you off at the joint with the best bottomless brunch deal in your state.istockphoto.com
Alabama: Ashland Pub (Mobile)
So, all-you-can-drink brunch isn't allowable in Alabama, but there are ways to work around that. Every Sunday, this Mobile pub puts on a jazz brunch from 11 a.m. until 3 a.m. Mimosas and poinsettias (Champagne with Cointreau and cranberry juice) are just $8.50 with 1 cent refills as long as you purchase an adult entrée. I mean, how can anyone say no to Captain Crunch French toast, breakfast pizza, crabcakes Benedict or a suggestively gluttonous half-pound "Cardiologist Burger"?Andy B./Yelp
California: The Overland Tap + Kitchen (Los Angeles)
There's no shortage of bottomless drink options in California, but Overland's might be the cheapest. Get all-you-can-drink Champagne for just $7.99 on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You have to purchase your meal separately, but the prices aren't steep. Choose anything from the scroll of breakfast options, including two eggs any style with Maryland crabcakes, a chicken sausage and veggie scramble omelet, eggs Benedict with short rib, French toast, and more.Jason C./Yelp
Colorado: Rupert's at the Edge (Edgewater)
Restaurant co-owner Susan Olsen's late great-uncle Rupert once said, "Brunch without mimosa is just a sad, late breakfast," and we don't disagree. Customers can go bottomless for only $9.50 on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. And if you can't make it in on those days, you can still score a bottle of Champagne and carafe of orange juice for $14 Tuesday through Friday. Oh, and don't miss out on the smoked Gouda grits, which have been described as "simply heavenly, like little cheesy clouds with salty snowflakes and comfy fireplace warmth."Carly P./Yelp
Delaware: Home Grown Café (Newark)
It's slim pickings for drink deals in the second-smallest state, but they do exist. The Home Grown Café in Delaware runs a bottomless build-your-own mimosa promotion for $18 on Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Choose from a variety of juices and fruit purées to add to your bubbly and drink for up to two hours. In order to qualify for this deal, you have to purchase a meal. The menu is very diverse, but customers rave about the crab dip, green goddess sandwich, and Buffalo cauliflower wings.Home Grown Café/Yelp
Florida: B.C. Café (Fort Lauderdale)
Weekend brunch at the B.C. Café in Florida is really popular because of its food-truck-quality grub and dirt-cheap unlimited mimosas, Bellinis, and cranberry punch. Drink 'em down for just $12 on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Check out the brunch sampler while you're at it. You get half portions of five different brunch entrees. Yum.Jessica V./Yelp
Georgia: Donetto (Atlanta)
If you're looking for mimosas, you'd better sit this one out. This Georgia peach is making bubbly Bellinis instead, and bottomless is only $10. The only catch is that they're available for just two hours every Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., so plan accordingly.Daniel B./Yelp
Hawaii: Herringbone (Honolulu)
The Aloha State is a ghost town when it comes to drink promotion, but the Herringbone in Hawaii has something to wet your whistle. Add "everlasting" rosé or tropical mimosas to your tab for $25 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Last call is at 2 p.m.!Herringbone Waikiki/Yelp
Idaho: The Hyde House (Boise)
Wash down biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos, French toast, granola, and more with all-you-can-drink mimosas at The Hyde House in Idaho on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It costs just $10, and all the food items are budget-friendly. Not that you should be buying mimosas if you're on a budget, but we've all been there.B M./Yelp
Illinois: Cellars Bar and Grill (Chicago)
If you're going to Cellars in Illinois, you'd better show up with an appetite because you can't get the "nearly bottomless" mimosas or bloody marys unless you get something to eat. Chicagoans can fill up on breakfast carbonara, chipotle pulled-pork eggs Benedict, or Paulie's special pancakes, and enjoy your fill of booze. But if you overdrink and act like a fool, someone will "put a bottom on the bottomless" and show you the door.Racheal P./Yelp
Indiana: Gallery Pastry Shop (Indianapolis)
Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday in this Indianapolis joint, but you can only get unlimited mimosas on Saturday from 10 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sip them alongside omelets, eggs, and hash browns with veggies and local meats and cheeses, crepes, and pastries.Nisita K./Yelp
Iowa: Reunion Brewery (Coralville)
Are we dreaming? Bottomless mimosas are just $4 at this brewery in Coralville, Iowa. Even better, the place serves all-you-can-eat bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, portobello eggs benedict, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, Belgian waffles, chicken marsala, whipped potatoes, prime rib, carved beef and ham, pork loin, pasta, mac and cheese, salad, fruit, desserts, and more for an additional $22. Yeah, we must be dreaming.John R./Yelp
Kentucky: Safai Coffee (Louisville
Not many places in Louisville have bottomless mimosas, but this coffee shop does. Every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., customers can sip on the fizzy citrus drink endlessly for just $8. For what it's worth, you probably won't be able to leave this place without trying the crepes. People in Kentucky go crazy for the ham and Gruyère, and banana Nutella.Barbara B./Yelp
Louisiana: Flamingo A-Go-Go (New Orleans)
This vibrant and electric restaurant in NOLA isn't exactly known for its food, but unlimited mimosas and sparkling rosé is just $10 on Saturday and Sunday, so it's always lively. This is the place to go in Louisiana if you have a large party, too, considering the space is huge. Oh, and did we mention you can bring your dog? The kitchen will cook up some canine-friendly fare if he's hungry!Flamingo A-Go-Go/Yelp
Maryland: PassionFish (Bethesda)
This seafood spot in Maryland has a brunch special that's practically a steal. Get a two-course meal for just $19 and add bottomless bloody marys or mimosas for $11. If you aren't already hooked by the inexpensive booze, the menu will surely sell you. There's a seafood crepe with shrimp and crab, ceviche, lobster butternut squash bisque, smoked whitefish hash, fish tacos, chicken and waffles... Need we say more?Fred K./Yelp
Minnesota: The Bird (Minneapolis)
The early bird gets the worm... and the bottomless bubbly. This spot in Minnesota is fabulously rustic-chic and customers can get unlimited bloody marys or mimosas for just $10 on the weekend. You have to buy a meal off the breakfast or lunch menu, though, so get come hungry!Monica C./Yelp
Mississippi: Cora's Restaurant & Bar (Biloxi)
This restaurant exists inside the newly renovated White House Hotel just off the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico in Biloxi, Mississippi. On Sunday, guests can partake in the brunch buffet or order buttermilk pancakes, steak and eggs, and burgers and such a la carte. Add unlimited bloody marys or mimosas for just $10!Marlon T./Yelp
Missouri: Crafted (St. Louis)
Bottomless mimosas at this beautiful St. Louis, Missouri bar and restaurant are just $10. If you want to mix and match between the citrus drink and bloody marys, you can do so for $13. In case you bring your appetite along, diners praise the Crafted Benedict made with your choice of pork belly, spinach, corned beef, veggie burger, or crabcake.Madi B./Yelp
Montana: Bar IX (Bozeman)
At this hip spot in Montana, all you need is an Andrew Jackson (plus tax and tip of course) to get yourself "never ending" adult beverages and food. That's right, for just $20 boozehounds can guzzle down mimosas and bloody marys plus an entree from the small but sweet menu. Chicken fried steak? Breakfast sammy? Lox platter? Steak and eggs? Breakfast tacos? Just make sure you check out the beer keg barstools.Bar IX/Yelp
Nevada: Downtown Terrace Kitchen & Bar (Las Vegas)
If you don't want to limit yourself to just mimosas, check out this quick-service spot in Las Vegas, Nevada's Container Park. At Downtown Terrace, formerly known as The Perch, guests can get unlimited mimosas, bellinis, bloody marys or house wine for just $16 from open to close, seven days a week. Now that's a deal.Niki N./Yelp
New Hampshire: BRGR BAR (Portsmouth)
At BRGR Bar in Portsmouth, customers can nosh on Nutella pancakes with banana, maple bourbon French toast, spicy fried chicken in smoked jalapeño cream sauce, eggs benny and more. Enjoy bottomless bloody marys and mimosas at the bar for a $15 add-on.Brian D./Yelp
New Jersey: Delta's (New Brunswick)
OK, so this one technically isn't bottomless, but it may as well be. From 12 to 2:30 p.m., diners can get mimosas for just 95 cents. Other unlimited promotions by other restaurants are at least $15, so if you'd have to drink 15 flutes at this Jersey joint to even match that. It's probably not in everyone's best interest that you have 15 mimosas, though.Delta's/Yelp
New York: Giovanni's Brooklyn Eats (Brooklyn)
You're looking at more than $35 for most boozy brunches in New York City, but Giovanni's Brooklyn Eats in South Slope is only $21.95. The price includes 90 minutes of unlimited mimosas and bloody marys plus a two-course meal. Start with an artisanal salad (the spinach salad with pears, walnuts and gorgonzola is great) then choose from a seemingly infinite list of entrees. This place serves all the usual suspects plus some Italian specialties, but the poached eggs with smoked salmon on toasted bread with goat cheese and hollandaise dish is a must-have.Cynthia Z./Yelp
North Carolina: Mert's (Charlotte)
If you're a fan of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," you may already be familiar with Mert's in Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, one mimosa is just $9, so it makes sense to order the unlimited option if you're having more than two, because it's just $17. There's just one catch: you can't share. But were you even going to in the first place?Jolanda D./Yelp
North Dakota: The Starving Rooster (Minot)
Every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., The Starving Rooster in Minot, North Dakota serves all you can drink mimosas for just $10 - and they're not your average mimosas either. Pinky up with raspberry, strawberry, blood orange or rosemary ginger flavors.Art M./Yelp
Ohio: Chapter Mt. Adams (Cincinnati)
On Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., customers can quench their thirst at Chapter. Get bottomless mimosa pitchers of all different flavors for $18 per person. Choose from orange, mango, peach, pineapple, blood orange, pomegranate, watermelon, huckleberry or raspberry.Shanna S./Yelp
Oregon: Swank Restaurant (Portland)
Brunchers can find Swank inside the Paramount Hotel in Portland Oregon. Here, mimosas are just $6 each, but you can get "bubbles with every bite" by paying an extra $3. This gem is owned by the same brains behind Brix Tavern, where you can also get bottomless mimosas for just $9.50.Swank Restaurant/Yelp
Pennsylvania: Moshulu (Philadelphia)
Philadelphians can score unlimited mimosas, peach bellinis, kir royals, poinsettias, Champagne and bloody marys for just $16 with the purchase of a meal. Choose between uber delicious-looking beef short rib omelets, blackened shrimp and grits, and chocolate babka French toast and more.John K./Yelp
Rhode Island: Chapel Grille Restaurant (Cranston)
The smallest state in the country still knows how to do things big. Head to Chapel Grille in Cranston for the Sunday buffet for all you can eat pastries, smoked salmon, cheeses, omelets, freshly carved prime rib, imported pastas, frittata, dessert and more for just $28.99 per adult -unlimited sangrias, mimosas and bloody marys included.Chapel Grille/Yelp
South Carolina: SOL Southwest Kitchen (Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Summerville)
SOL has three locations in South Carolina, all of which serve endless mimosas with freshly squeezed orange juice for just $10 on Sunday. The menu boasts Southwestern-inspired dishes including huevos rancheros, avocado toast, a bison burrito, red chile-glazed salmon and more.Christi T./Yelp
Tennessee: Sinema (Nashville)
Get your eat and drink on at this two-story historic theater in Nashville, Tennessee. If you're super hungry and want to take part in the all-you-can-eat buffet, it's just $28 per person - or order pancakes, eggs, burgers, short rib hash, salmon tartine and huevos rancheros a la carte. Bottomless mimosas and bloody marys are an additional $15!Sinema/Yelp
Virginia: Kapnos Taverna (Arlington)
Although this deal isn't quite bottomless, it's close enough. For $35, Virginians can partake in an all-you-can-eat Greek brunch option from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday, and mimosas are just 25 cents. This place pulls out all the stops: stuffed grape leaves, lox bagels, coffee waffles, baklava French toast, orzo pasta, spit-roasted lamb and more.Chandani C./Yelp
Washington: Ma'ono (Seattle)
This Hawaiian hub in Seattle, Washington has an innovative brunch menu. Guests recommend the spicy fried chicken sandwich with lettuce, pickled daikon radish and kewpie mayo in a sweet bun. Wash it all down with bottomless mimosas for $14 per person. Ma'ono promises that "as long as you're eating brunch, you will not see the bottom of your glass."Kiley H./Yelp
Washington, D.C.: Bar Charley
Every Saturday and Sunday, this quaint but cute D.C. restaurant serves a package deal promotion for $24.95, which includes one entreé and bottomless mimosas, bloodies or Narragansett tallboys for two hours. Now that's what we're talking about.Long N./Yelp
West Virginia: Christopher's Eats (Barboursville)
Both food and drink are easy on the wallet at Christopher's Eats. West Virginians can order never-ending mimosas or poinsettias for just $8 after 1 p.m. Brunch ends at 3 p.m., so use those precious two hours wisely.Jeff N./Yelp
Wisconsin: Screaming Tuna (Milwaukee)
If you're in the mood for sushi, shredded pork poutine or duck Benedict, head over to the Screaming Tuna in Milwaukee. Every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., unlimited mimosas are just $12. Bottoms up, Wisconsin!Marie R./Yelp
Wyoming: The Crowbar & Grill (Laramie)
Brunch is served from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at this laid-back establishment in downtown Laramie, where boozers will find American-style comfort food, boutique beers, specialty cocktails and, most importantly, bottomless mimosas for $14. If you order food - stuffed French toast, BLT, buttermilk biscuits and gravy - the price gets discounted to $9. If you don't give a dang about the booze and you just want an awesome meal, chow down on the best brunches in America.

Confident manoeuvring Motorhome care Motorhome awnings Getting away Useful checklists Measuring and installing motorhome awnings Motorhome security Safety on the move Top 10 Motorhome Accessories Confident manoeuvring If the thought of managing a large vehicle is preventing you from buying a motorhome, your local dealer may be prepared to let you take one on the road before you commit yourself – especially if it helps him secure a sale. Once you've taken the plunge, the Camping and Caravanning Club runs Manoeuvring Courses to help increase your confidence when driving and manoeuvring your motorhome. Join the Club to attend one of our courses and receive discounts on pitch night fees, top retail brands and more. On the road Assuming you've invested in a motorhome that's larger than the average car, when you're out and about you'll need to give yourself more time and space for everything. It's best to brake earlier than normal and you'll probably accelerate more slowly than you would in an ordinary car. The extra length of your motorhome means you will need to take corners more widely than normal so the back doesn't clip the kerb or cut the corner. If the unladen weight of your motorhome is more than 3,050kg the legal speed limits are often lower than in a car. Check the latest information before you travel at Gov.UK If you find traffic is building up behind you, pull over at a layby or other suitable place and let the other vehicles pass. If you are driving a high-sided vehicle, be especially careful when over-taking cyclists, motorbikes and horses because of the buffeting from your motorhome. Park carefully where you won't cause an obstruction. Many car parks have height barriers, so remember to check how tall your unit is. One top tip is to put a sticker on the dashboard of your motorhome with details of its height, width, length and weight so you can tell at a glance if you will fit! Learning to drive your motorhome Assuming, of course, that you've already obtained the correct entitlements on your driving licence to enable you to drive your motorhome – see the motorhomes and the law page – which might involve some training anyway – the Club is one of a number of organisations that run short courses to help increase your confidence driving and manoeuvring your holiday home. On the Club's Motorhome Manoeuvring Course professional instructors will take you through all the basic information you need to drive and use your motorhome, plus some key advice on safety too. You'll be taught at the wheel of your own motorhome and you will have the chance to take your unit out on the road during your course. Find out more about motorhome manoeuvring courses with the Club. Continue to the next page to find out about motorhomes and the law. Club Care Insurance Club Care motorhome insurance policies have been designed with members in mind and offer first class cover.

Load distribution model
With metal guides, the close machining tolerances would cause narrow contact area and high surface pressure (fig. 1). That could cause damage or wear to the contact surfaces.
The higher degree of elastic deformation of polymer materials provides larger contact surfaces and a better utilization of the guide width (fig. 2). While the guide ring load is realistically not an even distribution, the guide ring load and width requirements are estimated with the projected area of the full dynamic surface (inside diameter for rod guides or outside diameter for piston guides) assuming the load is carried evenly across the surface (fig. 3).

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, meat and fat products of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat meal. There is a second meat ingredient fifth on the ingredient list, but this is not identified by species. "Poultry" could be any fowl and may also vary by source. Unidentified ingredients like this are usually cheap and of very low quality. We prefer not to see them used in dog foods. The fat ingredient is similarly of low quality and unidentifiable source. Protein hydrolysate (usually from whey) is a low quality means of boosting the protein content of the food.
The next ingredients are grains - six of them - making this appear a very grain heavy food, with very little meat content likely. Rice is a decent quality grain, but the use of corn and wheat are less desirable. Corn is of limited value, being a difficult to digest grain that is also commonly implicated in food allergies. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allergy problems in dogs. As wheat shorts this consists of "fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, wheat flour, and the offal from the tail of the mill. This product must be obtained in the usual process of commercial milling and must contain not more than 7% crude fiber". In simpler terms, the floor sweepings from processing of wheat for flour and other products. Wheat flour (in dog food commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a further grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Cellulose is purified, mechanically disintegrated cellulose prepared by processing alpha cellulose obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant materials: otherwise known as sawdust.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

Sofia Vergara on SNL Was Sexy, As Expected
'Modern Family' bombshell Sofia Vergara hosted 'Saturday Night Live' last night and, of course, she emphasized her sexiness and cleavage.
Perhaps the most refreshing part of Sofia Vergara on SNL was her willingness to not take herself so seriously and acknowledge that her sex appeal drives her popularity. Also, the dress she wore in the monologue. WOW.
Other highlights of Sofia Vergara on SNL were her reporting live from the Hunger Games.
Another funny skit featuring Sofia Vergara on SNL was her appearance on the 'Zooey Deschanel' 'Quirky Girl' show as Fran Drescher. Vergara is able to mimic Drescher's annoying mannerisms while sexing up the character.
Finally, and perhaps best of all, was the sex education skit featuring Sofia Vergara and Kristen Wiig's 'Gilly' character. Sofia Vergara on SNL turned out to be a great idea, but Sofia Vergara as a sex ed instructor? Brilliant.
While Sofia Vergara was on SNL to promote her appearance in the upcoming movie 'The Three Stooges,' she showed enough comic chops to return. Let's hope she brings that black dress.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines food additives as 'any substance, the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in its becoming a component or otherwise affecting the characteristics of any food.' In other words, an additive is any substance that is added to food.
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.)
Direct additives are those that are intentionally added to foods for a specific purpose. Indirect additives are those to which the food is exposed during processing, packaging, or storing. Preservatives are additives that inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds in foods.
Additives and preservatives have been used in foods for centuries. When meats are smoked to preserve them, compounds such as butylated hydroxya-nisole (BHA) and butyl gallate are formed and provide both antioxidant and bacteriostatic effects. Salt has also been used as a preservative for centuries. Salt lowers the water activity of meats and other foods and inhibits bacterial growth. Excess water in foods can enhance the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Pickling, which involves the addition of acids such as vinegar, lowers the pH of foods to levels that retard bacterial growth. Some herbs and spices, such as curry, cinnamon, and chili pepper, also contain antioxidants and may provide bactericidal effects.
Uses of Additives and Preservatives in Foods
Additives and preservatives are used to maintain product consistency and quality, improve or maintain nutritional value, maintain palatability and wholesome-ness, provide leavening, control pH, enhance flavor, or provide color. Food additives may be classified as:.
- Antimicrobial agents, which prevent spoilage of food by mold or microorganisms. These include not only vinegar and salt, but also compounds such as calcium
propionate and sorbic acid, which are used in products such as baked goods, salad dressings, cheeses, margarines, and pickled foods
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.)
- Antioxidants, which prevent rancidity in foods containing fats and damage to foods caused by oxygen. Examples of antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, BHA, BHT (butylated hydroxytolene), and propyl gallate
- Artificial colors, which are intended to make food more appealing and to provide certain foods with a color that humans associate with a particular flavor (e.g., red for cherry, green for lime)
- Aritificial flavors and flavor enhancers, the largest class of additives, function to make food taste better, or to give them a specific taste. Examples are salt, sugar, and vanilla, which are used to complement the flavor of certain foods. Synthetic flavoring agents, such as ben-zaldehyde for cherry or almond flavor, may be used to simulate natural flavors. Flavor enhancers, such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) intensify the flavor of other compounds in a food
- Bleaching agents, such as peroxides, are used to whiten foods such as wheat flour and cheese
- Chelating agents, which are used to prevent discoloration, flavor changes, and rancidity that might occur during the processing of foods. Examples are citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid
- Nutrient additives, including vitamins and minerals, are added to foods during enrichment or fortification. For example, milk is fortified with vitamin D, and rice is enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin
- Thickening and stabilizing agents, which function to alter the texture of a food. Examples include the emul-sifier lecithin, which, keeps oil and vinegar blended in salad dressings, and carrageen, which is used as a thickener in ice creams and low-calorie jellies
Regulating Safety of Food Additives and Preservatives
Based on the 1958 Food Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act of 1938, the FDA must approve the use of all additives. The manufacturer bears the responsibility of proving that the additive is safe for its intended use. The Food Additives Amendment excluded additives and preservatives deemed safe for consumption prior to 1958, such as salt, sugar, spices, vitamins, vinegar, and monosodium glutamate. These substances are considered 'generally recognized as safe' (GRAS) and may be used in any food, though the FDA may remove additives from the GRAS list if safety concerns arise. The 1960 Color Additives Amendment to the FD&C Act required the FDA to approve synthetic coloring agents used in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and certain medical devices. The Delaney Clause, which was included in both the Food Additives Amendment and Color Additives Amendment, prohibited approval of any additive that had been found to cause cancer in humans or animals. However, in 1996 the Delaney Clause was modified, and the commissioner of the FDA was charged with assessing the risk from consumption of additives that may cause cancer and making a determination as to the use of that additive.
The FDA continually monitors the safety of all food additives as new scientific evidence becomes available. For example, use of erythrosine (FD&C Red No. 3) in cosmetics and externally applied drugs was banned in 1990 after it was implicated in the development of thyroid tumors in male rats. However, the cancer risk associated with FD&C Red No. 3 is about 1 in 100,000 over a seventy-year lifetime, and its use in some foods, such as candies and maraschino cherries, is still allowed. Tartrazine (FD&C Yellow No. 5) has been found to cause dermatological reactions ranging from itching to hives in a small population subgroup. Given the mild nature of the reaction, however, it still may be used in foods.
Nitrites are also a controversial additive. When used in combination with salt, nitrites serve as antimicrobials and add flavor and color to meats. However, nitrite salts can react with certain amine in food to produce nitrosamines, many of which are known carcinogens. Food manufacturers must show that nitrosamines will not form in harmful amounts, or will be prevented from forming, in their products. The flavoring enhancer MSG is another controversial food additive. MSG is made commercially from a natural fermentation process using starch and sugar.
Despite anecdotal reports of MSG triggering headaches or exacerbating asthma, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, the European Community's Scientific Committee for Food, the American Medical Association, and the National Academy of Sciences have all affirmed the safety of MSG at normal consumption levels.
In the United States, food additives and preservatives play an important role in ensuring that the food supply remains the safest and most abundant in the world. A major task of the FDA is to regulate the use and approval of thousands of approved food additives, and to evaluate their safety. Despite consumer concern about use of food additives and preservatives, there is very little scientific evidence that they are harmful at the levels at which they are used.
In Europe, food additives and preservatives are evaluated by the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Food. Regulations in European Union countries are similar to those in the United States. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Food Additives work together to evaluate the safety of food additives, as well as contaminants, naturally occurring toxicants, and residues of veterinary drugs in foods. Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) are established on the basis of toxicology and other information.

New Zealand dollar trading got off to a slow start today due to the regional holiday in Wellington and Martin Luther King holiday weekend in the US.
The kiwi was at 83.69 US cents at 8am, little changed from 83.54 cents at 5pm on Friday. It fell on Friday after weaker-than-expected December quarter consumers price index data implied interest rates aren't going to rise for a long time.
"There was position-squaring ahead of the long weekend on Friday and we've obviously got the Bank of Japan (monetary policy statement) this week," said Stuart Ive at HiFX.
The kiwi was at 75.34 yen at 8am, up from 75.18 on Friday and it is expected to be a big week for that cross with the BoJ statement due on Tuesday afternoon New Zealand time.
"What we expect to see from the Bank of Japan is them adding further stimulus to their economy. In the last week the yen has weakened considerably," Ive said.
The kiwi is expected to have an upward bias this week, moving toward 84.20 US cents, while having support at 83.30 cents.
"The local economic calendars are empty and there is a US holiday, probably making today a quiet one for markets," Imre Speizer, senior markets strategist at Westpac, said.
He said risky assets were under pressure in London. Traders also weighed a disappointing earnings report from Intel against news that US Republicans proposed a three-month debt ceiling in return for spending cuts.
The kiwi was at 79.58 Australian cents at 8am from 79.42 cents at 5pm on Friday.
It was 62.86 euro from 62.41 euro and 52.70 British pence from 52.27.
The trade-weighted index was at 75.34 from 75.25.

Facebook is loosening up its rules for teenagers by allowing them post publicly on the social media site.
Effective immediately, people aged 13 to 17 can share posts with anyone, just like users over 18 years old. Previously, teens were only able to share content with friends and with friends of friends, or custom groups like family.
"Teens are among the savviest people using social media, and whether it comes to civic engagement, activism, or their thoughts on a new movie, they want to be heard," the company said in a statement.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
When teen users pick a "public" audience for their post, Facebook will remind them with a message that says the information can be see by anyone, not just by people they know. They will have the option to change their minds, Facebook said.
Teens will also be allowed to have followers on Facebook, which means their public posts can be seen in people's News Feeds even if they are not friends.

One of the NFL's most mercurial players is heading back to the place where his impressive career first began.
The New England Patriots sent future Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings for a third round drafft pick in a hastily cobbled deal that heated up the rumor mill in the hours before its confirmation, according to ESPN.
ESPN Page 2 columnist Bill Simmons errantly sent a missive that simply said "moss vikings" out to his 1.2 million followers Tuesday evening, instead of sending it as direct message, a private communication in Twitter terms.
He followed up later in the evening with an explanation.
"Sorry that last tweet was supposed to be a DM. Rumors swirling about a Pats-Minny trade for Randy Moss," he wrote.
Moss, a seven-time Pro Bowl receiver, is in the final year of his contract with the Patriots and recently voiced his displeasure at not having a new deal.
"When you have done so much and put so much work in, it kind of feels like I'm not wanted," Moss said shortly before the season started. "I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it is kind of a bad feeling -- feeling not wanted. It is not like my production has gone down."
The rtrade could immediately alter the fortunes of both franchises. Though the Vikings were able to coax Brett Favre back for one more season, they have been lacking an aerial attack ever since Pro Bowl wideout Sidney Rice had hip surgery on Aug. 24. He is currently on the league's physically unable to perform (PUP) list, meaning he has to miss at least the first six weeks of play. Favre's other main target, Percy Harvin, suffered severe migraines throughout training camp and has yet to get in sync with the veteran gunslinger. A trade for disgruntled Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson fell apart because of differences over compensation between the two teams.
The trade leaves the Pats with a gaping hole at one of the team's most important positions. Wes Welker is quarterback Tom Brady's favorite target, but he lacks Moss' size and speed and is coming off a serious knee injury. Rookie Brandon Tate will likely line up opposite Welker after the Patriots return to action following a bye this week.
Moss and Brady quickly formed one of the NFL's most feared tandems upon the receiver's arrival in Foxboro in 2007. The two connected for 47 touchdowns and over 3,750 yards of offense.

IO Interactive's tiny little messengers of death are launching an all-out assault across multiple gaming platforms next month, as Eidos cuts down a September release date before it even has time to scream.
The world lies on the brink of chaos, and only mini-ninja Hiro and friends can set things right again. The journey to save feudal Japan rests in their tiny little hands come September 8th in North America, September 9th in France and Germany, and September 11th in the UK and PAL territories.
"We're incredibly excited to be launching the unique and beautifully quirky MINI NINJAS," said Niels Jørgensen General Manager of IO Interactive. "The art direction and humor are endearing and it has won a special place in the hearts of the IO studio. Giving life to these fierce little ninjas has been an adventure in itself and we really hope that people will enjoy the game as much as we do."
Look for Mini Ninjas on the Nintendo Wii, DS PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. If they are good ninjas, you won't see them at all.

Fact Sheet: State Insurance Exchanges
States are to create "American Health Benefit Exchanges" and "Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Exchanges" to be administered by a governmental agency or non-profit organization through which small businesses (up to 100 employees) and individuals can purchase insurance.
Mental health care and addiction treatment are included on the list of essential benefits that must be covered in new plans offered to the uninsured through the Exchanges. These benefits (and others on essential list including rehabilitative services, prescription drugs, preventive services, etc) will be further defined by the Secretary and Mental Health America is taking advantage of public comment opportunities to encourage the adoption of a comprehensive list of essential benefits.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act is expanded to apply to health insurance plans offered to small businesses and individuals in the Exchanges.
The federal government will create a floor of essential benefits that must be included in the expanded Medicaid benefits and the state health insurance exchanges. States will be allowed to provide coverage above those basic levels established by the Secretary. MHA urges its affiliates and partners to advocate on both the federal and state level for a robust essential benefit package in order to ensure that the new benefits are meaningful and address the needs of individuals with mental illnesses.
Proposed Essential Benefits
MHA proposes the below services to be included in the essential benefits in the Exchanges. State advocates are encouraged to use the below categories and services when advocating for required benefits.
Traditional Mental Health Services
- Inpatient Services (including residential services for children, detox and other services for individuals with substance use conditions)
- Medication Services
- Psychotherapy Services
- Case Management Services
- Crisis Intervention Services
- Screening, Assessment and Treatment Planning
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services
- Individual and Group Rehabilitation services
- Supported Employment
- Supported Education
- Life Supports (housing, access to transportation, life skills)
- Financial Planning/Money Management
- Peer Support Services
Preventative Services
- Screening and Early Intervention
- Targeted Prevention
- Wellness and Health Promotion Services
Ancillary Services
- Respite care for family members
- Consultation between health care providers
Next Steps
States are moving forward with planning for the implementation of the Exchanges. MHA encourages state and local advocates to take a leadership role with the government agencies involved in the Health Care Reform planning process and ensure that mental health and substance use concerns are being considered.
- Identify, join or create coalitions of voluntary health organizations and provider organizations from various conditions in order to advocate for the views of mental health and substance use consumers and providers.
- Offer consultant services to the state insurance commissioner, health department, Medicaid director, mental health and substance use authority, and governor's office to provide feedback and advice regarding the interests of the behavioral health community.
- Advocate for the development of a committee or advisory group through statute of executive order on which mental health and substance use advocacy groups sit to inform the health establishment of the Exchanges.

Business owners may need a surveillance camera to keep an eye on their employees. Are employees actually doing their jobs while the boss is away? Has the secretary been dipping into the petty cash? Are office staff stealing valuables, such as inventory or office supplies?
EASY Set Up and Operation!
Workplace surveillance is simply good business. How can you know for sure your employees are doing the right thing unless you can monitor your employees and your workplace?
Homeowners, even those renting a home or an apartment, may need a hidden camera to keep an eye on service people that come in and out of their home. Is the maid really cleaning? Is the pet babysitter actually coming to take the dog for a walk, or letting the cat out to use the bathroom? Are the pets getting fed? Maybe a neighbor has a spare key. Is he/she coming in just to snoop while the homeowner is not there?
Parents may need a nanny camera to make sure their children are being well taken care of. What is the babysitter doing? Is he/she playing with the children, or talking on the phone? Are they inviting their friends over? Is there alcohol or drug use going on? Are the children being abused?
These wired and wireless hidden cameras have helped many people catch abusive nannies that otherwise would have continued to abuse or neglect their children. If you suspect your child is not being properly treated, get a hidden camera. You owe it to your children.
Does your gut tell you something is just not right?
Are you concerned, anxious, worried, or stressed about what could be happening while you are away from your office or home? Are your employee's actually working? Do you feel comfortable leaving your children with your babysitter?
You are not alone…we understand. We are here to help you find what you need to ease your worries.
Surveillance cameras for business, and hidden cameras or nanny cams for the home, are becoming more and more popular because of their proven effectiveness in identifying employee theft, abusive nannies, and neglectful babysitters. With a quality surveillance camera, business owners and employers can now catch who is taking cash from the till or stealing inventory from the warehouse. Mom's and Dad's can see if their children are actually being taken care of.

Cooper Union Honors 2013 Inductees to the Lifetime Giving Society
POSTED ON: March 20, 2013
It may have been a wintry evening, but on March 7th guests arrived in a festive mood to celebrate and inaugurate The Cooper Union's most important donors into its Lifetime Giving Societies. Guests arrived at the Stuyvesant Fish House for dinner and an awards ceremony hosted by Cooper trustee and alumnus, Mike Borkowsky (ME'61). Mr. Borkowsky, who is himself a member of The Sarah Bedell Cooper Society, opened the evening by saying that "Cooper established the Lifetime Giving Societies to recognize our most generous benefactors. Tonight we honor your philanthropy, which has helped sustain The Cooper Union for so many years."
The highest award, The Peter Cooper Heritage Society award, recognizing individuals and families who have donated $1 million or more to The Cooper Union, went to Isaac Heller (Eng'52) and his wife Helaine. Isaac founded Remco toys while still a student during the late 1940s and later went on build a successful commercial real estate firm. Just one week before the ceremony, Isaac and Helaine were to be inducted into the Abram S. Hewitt Society for donors of over $250,000, but they then made an extraordinary $1 million gift to The Cooper Union. Paul Heller (ME'53), Isaac's brother, and himself a member of The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society, accepted the award on behalf of his brother and sister-in-law. Paul recalled his and his brother's days at Cooper when professors would comment that "the Heller boys were at Cooper day and night" because Isaac attended the night school, while working during the day, and Paul attended the day school while working at night.
The Sarah Bedell Cooper Society award for donors of over $500,000 went to Marcia Grace, who made her gift to Cooper in honor of her husband, Roy Grace (Art'62, at left circa 1980), a recipient of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Medal and a former Trustee of the Cooper Union. Roy Grace was a noted art director whose career in advertising spanned four decades during which he created some of the most memorable advertising campaigns for brands such as Alka-Seltzer, Volkswagen, Chanel, Mobil, and IBM. Mr. Grace won numerous industry awards over the course of his career including 25 Clio awards. Advertising Age listed him as having worked on 25 of the 100 "best commercials of all time," including the famous Spicy Meatball commercial for Alka-Seltzer. Marcia Grace, who worked with her husband Roy on many advertising campaigns, accepted the The Sarah Bedell Cooper Society award on behalf of her husband Roy, saying "I only wish Roy could be here today to receive this gift."
Several people were inducted into The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society for donors who have contributed at least $100,000. They included Jeremy Wertheimer (EE'82), one of Cooper's newest trustees, and his wife Joyce. Jeremy founded and served as the CEO of ITA Software, a software company that powers airfare searches on the websites of many air carrier and other companies. Google acquired ITA Software in 2011 and Jeremy is now Vice President for Travel at Google.
Janet Paxton Gardner, a graduate of the School of Art, was also inducted into The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society. Janet serves on the Alumni Council and is the creator of the documentary "Mechanic to Millionaire: The Peter Cooper Story." This important film won a CINE Golden Eagle Award and has been broadcast on PBS stations nationwide, bringing the Peter Cooper story to so many. Ms. Gardner accepted her award on behalf of her parents, Edward and Elizabeth Gardner, explaining that her gift to Cooper was from a charitable foundation they had established. Her induction into The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society was "a touching salute to [her] parents."
The next inductee into The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society was Alan Goldsmith (ChE'86/MChE'89). Alan's Masters thesis, in spite of being 25 years old, continues to be used by his former advisor, Professor Irving Brazinsky, as an example of excellent technical writing. Besides faithfully supporting the Annual Fund for over 20 years, Alan has contributed to the Teaching Technology Initiative, which supports equipment upgrades in Cooper's classrooms.
The final recipients of The Sarah Amelia Hewitt Society award were Ann and Paul Rosche (ChE'62). Paul received his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from the Cooper Union and went on to earn a Masters in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from NYU. Paul worked for many years in both private industry and for government agencies. Ann accepted the award on their behalf, sharing Paul's sentiments that Paul's career "would not have happened had it not been for the generosity of Peter Cooper. Today, it is a great pleasure for us to give back to the school."

The Last Moments by Holly Lombardo - Abstract Impressionist PaintingJTG #: 50496
Regular price
48" x 30" Unframed
Acrylic on Canvas
Oversized (Additional shipping charges will apply)
By Holly Lombardo
Holly likes to say that she has been a painter her whole life.... she just didn't know it. She is self-taught artist who started with watercolors 15 years ago but now paints exclusively with acrylics and continues to be surprised with the vibrancy and effects I can create with mixing colors and their juxtaposition on the canvas. Because I attended an engineering school and did not take art after middle school, I paint with purposeful urgency, putting onto canvas the colors and textures I've noticed since I was a child. Her deep connection with the outdoors informs her choice of subjects from the sun streaming through branches to ripples on the surface of the water.

Cooper at the Oscars
POSTED ON: February 27, 2012
Alumnus Mike Mills' (A'89) film Beginners has won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Christopher Plummer received the honor for his role in the film which was written and directed by Mills.
In the film, Plummer plays Hal Fields, a retired museum director who becomes openly gay after his wife of 44 years dies. The film tells the story of Hal's last romantic relationship with a new man a few years before dying of cancer. Hal's son, Oliver, mourns his father and reflects on his life as he ventures out to start a new relationship of his own with a French actress.
The film is Mr. Mills' second feature and was awarded the 2011 Gotham Award for Best Feature, a distinction shared with Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. Mr. Plummer's Oscar-winning performance in the film had previously received many accolades, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture 2012, and the Denver Film Critics Society Award, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the National Board of Review Award and the Online Film Critics Award, all for Best Supporting Actor.
Mills (right) with Plummer, on the set of Beginners.
Before he was writing and directing feature films, Mr. Mills had a prolific career as an artist, graphic designer and music video director. Along with two feature films, he has completed a number of music videos, commercials, short films and documentaries. Prior to Beginners, Mr. Mills directed Thumbsucker (2005) which won acting awards at the 2005 Sundance film festival, the Berlin International film festival, and for which he received the 2005 Guardian New Directors award at the Edinburgh International film festival. In 1996, he co-founded The Directors Bureau (TDB), a multidisciplinary production company through which he has directed music videos for such bands as Air, Pulp, Everything but the Girl, Les Rythmes Digitales, Moby, Yoko Ono, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion; and commercials for such clients as Levi's, Gap, Volkswagen, Adidas and Nike as part of their international campaigns. As a graphic artist, Mr. Mills has designed album covers for such bands as Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys, Boss Hog, and Buffalo Daughter; and has also done extensive work for companies such as X-girl, Marc Jacobs, and Supreme. He has had solo art shows at the Andrea Rosen Gallery (1996); Adam Bray Gallery in London (1997); The Alleged Gallery (1996, 2001, and 2004); The Collette Gallery (1998); and The Mu Museum in Holland (2004). His work was featured in the "Beautiful Losers" exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and at the Yerba Buena Center for Arts in San Francisco, as well as in Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard's documentary feature Beautiful Losers (2008). A monograph of his work, Mike Mills: Graphics Films, was published by Damiani in 2009.
A recent interview in Bad Day Magazine features Mr. Mills discussing his career and experience at Cooper Union.

A Marine veteran in the Iron Triangle goes solar
Students from the Green Technology Education program at Laney College worked for a day and half installing solar panels on Henry Avila's rooftop.
By Jennifer BairesPosted 2 hours ago
Aside from the four years he served in the Marine Corps, Henry Avila has spent his life in Richmond's Iron Triangle.
Avila, 59, says that it hasn't always been easy for him—growing up there was a lot of crime in the neighborhood and a work-site accident in his late 20s left him permanently disabled. The years and experiences are etched in the lines on his face. His salt and pepper hair is bunched in a haphazard ponytail that grazes his shoulders and his oversized black sweater is faded and full of holes.
Standing behind his six-foot tall front fence he looks at his home. "I bought this land from my godmother," Avila said. "I built the house nine years ago," he added, with a touch of pride.
The house is getting a new addition today, something not commonly seen in this neighborhood—solar panels.
Henry Avila looks on as the solar panel installation crew works on his roof to instal the last few panels. Avila says he's looking forward to never having to pay a PG&E bill again.
Lead by GRID Alternatives, a non-profit based in Oakland that installs solar panels for low-income families at little to no cost, two other non-profits have come together to make this a reality for Avila.
"I'm so excited for this build," said Maeve Katherine Bergman, who leads the Green Technology Education program at Laney College. It's her solar training students that are installing the panels.
Avila's yard is teeming with these students, many of them, like Avila, are veterans. They're beneficiaries of Swords to Plowshares—a service organization that helps veterans transition back to civilian life by sponsoring employment training, counseling and housing.
David Ho, of San Lorenzo, stands in the front of the yard, away from all of the hustle and bustle. Wearing the standard issue white hardhat and orange vest he squints up at the roof where his classmates are readying the panel beams. This is his first Veteran's Day as a veteran; he left the service last year after his six-year contract ended.
Ho was in the Seabees, the Navy's construction battalion. They build and maintain bases around the world. But, their work also extends to helping communities in third world countries by building schools and wells.
"That's one of the reasons why I joined," Ho said. "I didn't want to just shoot people. I wanted to bring something positive."
However, with the United States at war, Ho found himself stationed in Afghanistan instead. His job often put him in harm's way.
"I got shot at while I was over there," Ho said. "We started hearing a whistling noise right by our heads," he said as he passed his hands by the sides of his face to show how close the bullets came.
Especially on Veteran's Day, Ho said Afghanistan is on his mind. "I think about the troops overseas," he said. "The roadside bombs and the mortars," he added, trailing off.
Throughout the chilly morning, while slipping panels into place and carefully hooking up the new electricity lines the crew bonded over past military service. One of the crew leaders from GRID, Steve Tate, mentioned he was a vet and right away Cliff Britt, who he was teaching how to run wire into a fuse box, said, "Me too," and then preceded to describe the nickname his fellow Marines gave him.
"They called me Yogi Berra," Britt said. "Because of the way I walk, one of my legs is longer than the other," he said as he mimicked being stuck walking in circles.
Avila watched from the ground—and occasionally from the roof—as the team worked. He didn't talk much, but he was quick to nod and smile whenever someone said something to him.
GRID estimates that over the life of the solar panels—which they say is 30 years—Avila will save over $22,000, or about $70 a month.
Mara Meaney-Ervin, GRID's Bay Area Development Officer, said they've installed panels on over 100 homes in Richmond. She hopes that families in Avila's neighborhood will notice his solar panels and consider applying for the program too.
"I think the biggest thing it adds is education and a sense of accessibility," Meaney-Ervin said. "When one neighbor goes solar, sometimes others in the neighborhood will follow."
For Avila, who fell off a crane while working in Oakland thirty years ago and lives off of disability, the $70 or so dollars he'll save each month will go far.
"I'll spend the money on fixing up my '57 Chevy," he said. His eyes sparkle as he talks about it. His passion, the hobby he says keeps him going, is fixing up his two classic cars. The California sun and his new solar panels will help him do it.

Backyard landscaping Forest Lake MN
Need help with Backyard landscaping in Forest Lake MN?
The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Forest Lake MN , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.
Some good [supreme kwid=4 kw="patio landscaping ideas" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for planting steep slopes as well as different methods and examples [supreme kwid=21 kw="landscape water features" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for hillsides.
Layouts and Landscaping Small BackyardsIf you own a landscape service business you know that the more clientele you have and the more number of accounts you have; the more money and profits you will make. One way to get new clients is to call them on the telephone.For instance, if you are working in a neighborhood and you find that you have a number of clientele there it makes sense to stack your schedule with more clients close together in clusters. To sign these customers using the telephone is a very good way to do it. Even better is good to develop your telephone calling list from referrals that you have got from other customers and neighbors. Most neighbors have other neighbors phone numbers and if you do a good job and are liable then those customers will give you those other phone numbers for you to do cold calling for landscape services. You should make these calls and be polite with the utmost care.People who buy a landscape services and landscape maintenance services are becoming more and more particular about who is working on the crews. For instance, it is known that over 65% of all landscape maintenance crews are indeed illegal aliens or illegal immigrants and this bothers many people.
While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

Argentina: A Mutilated Dog in Cordoba
Source: Diario Popular
Date: Sunday, August 31 2008
Mutilated dog enigma is added to a series of similar phenomena throughout the country.
Commotion in Cordoba over mutilated dog.
"It is very important for mutilation witnesses to gather up the courage to report these episodes – it is the only way to get to the truth," says researcher Andrea Pérez Simondini.
ARGENTINA: A Mutilated Dog in Cordoba
By Pachi LaFata
The case was qualified as a true "oddity" by the foremost experts in cattle mutilation cases, on account of the "neatness of the incision." This is a case that occurred in late July, but which remained unknown until now, involving a dog from the locality of Villa Giardino, Cordoba. The animal's carcass presented strange claw-marks and surgical manipulation. The mysterious event can be linked to dozens of similar situations recorded in several provinces over the past few months, resulting in a permanent state of alert within the UFO community.
The incident involving the mutilated dog became known through a report from residents of Villa Giardino itself, who went as far as to file a report with local police authorities in the light of the "exceptional" quality of the situation. This was followed by a court-ordered investigation that included detailed analysis by a team of local veterinarians. Furthermore, contact was made with the specialist from the Vision OVNI Group.
Andrea Pérez Simondini, a respected member of this organization formed by researchers of UFO-related phenomena and paranormal subjects, said "aside from UFO sightings, the trend in 2008 has clearly been the discovery of mutilated animals, mirroring the peak number of cases recorded in mid-2002. Fortunately, we have a large number of experts and scientists committed to studying mutilations. They even work with a fixed protocol that enables them to react swiftly and not lose valuable evidence, which is the only thing that can lead us to the truth."
Regarding the case of Cordoban dog, Simondini wrote a detailed report to which Expedientes Secretos was given access: The animal was discovered on July 29, when the local police became involved in the matter, and the case was forwarded to the veterinarian clinic of Dr. Maria del Rosario Ahumada. According to Simondini, "veterinarians advised us of the events, clarifying certain points about the canine's death. They told us that the animal died from natural causes. The dog's owners had been aware of its death the day before, but there had been no incisions performed on the body. On the 29th, the animal was found with visible incisions, which left local residents bemused."
As far as the details of the necropsy on the animal, Simondini pointed out that "the carcass presents an incision measuring 16 centimeters in diameter on the right rib cage with no extraction of organs," adding that "the expert believes that it was done in a single act, causing a rupture of the diaphragm (in the separation of the abdominal cavity and the thorax) as though a socket punch had been used, and its action caused the aforementioned disruption of the diaphragm."
The researcher also said that according to the operation's results "the dog has an incision between its 6th and 9th ribs, whose ends appear as though filed down in the visible ends of each nail, while in turn leaving a square with regard to the incision. It should be noted that the incision on the rib did not occur at the joint."
Adding further mystery to the case, Simondini stated that "the veterinarian believes that the absence of three ribs are due to the use of a small saw, with a technique that he classifies as very good and masterfully executed."
The incisions "were flat, but when informed that serrated cuts had been observed in other cases, the veterinarian believed that he could identify similar cuts in the dog, undertaking to provide a more detailed report in this regard."
As to what was described as perforations to the body, the expert explained, "these were drops and stains of blood on the fur. No perforations, hematomas or any alterations other than what was described in the cut, were present. He mentioned that there are no injuries to be found on the opposite side of the animal's carcass, or on the face or muzzle."
Concluding her report, Simondini maintains "the veterinarian did not seem to have a clear opinion on what caused the animal's injury, but emphatically stated that he was unaware of any similar cases, and that he dismissed the possibility of involvement by carrion animals from the area. He was emphatic about the use of a cutting element that he could not define, as it was unknown to him."
It would now seem that the mutilation enigma has extended down to dogs.

Larry Kudlow: For an exclusive interview,
Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul, who by the way, is not only a presidential hopeful,
but finished a very close second in the recent Iowa straw poll. Congressman Paul, as always
Sir, welcome back to the program. I want to get your take on what Governor Rick Perry
said today. "Almost treacherous or treasonous" regarding Ben Bernanke. What's your thoughts,
Sir? Ron Paul: Those are pretty strong words. But
you know, the founders felt pretty strongly about counterfeiting. I wouldn't call it treasonous
but I would call what our Federal Reserve does morally equivalent to counterfeiting
because they create money out of thin air and they give us our problems. In 1792, when they had the first Coinage Act,
they thought so strongly about this issue, they invoked a death penalty for people who
were counterfeiters. So, they never liked this idea of counterfeiting. And they did
not believe we had the right to emit bills of credit. So, I like this issue. To me, the
fascinating thing is that the Governor comes into the race, he gets a lot of attention.
And on the first day out, they ask him about the Federal Reserve. This hasn't been done,
maybe ever. So, I would say monetary policy – Larry Kudlow: So, monetary policy is front
and center in this presidential race, which is probably where it ought to have been. Now,
you, Sir, have always been a strong opponent of devaluation and money printing. Is Governor
Rick Perry onto something here? Ron Paul: I think, politically, he's pretty
astute. He came out for secession too when he had a Tea Party candidate running against
him. So, no, he's pretty good. But I have no idea what his monetary policy issues are,
what is real principles are. But I do know that the fact that he came out and didn't
say: "Hey, lay off the Fed. The Fed's my friend." Which means it's a turning on this whole issue
of monetary policy. And you're right. I was motivated in the 1970s because the handwriting
was written on the wall for me forty years ago. We just sort of celebrated that date
forty years ago when the Bretton Woods ended. So, that was a signal to me that the dollar
was doomed. Just look now: it used to be 1/35th of an
ounce of gold, now it's almost 1/1800th of an ounce of gold. So, we have a very weak
currency and, Larry, I agree with you wholeheartedly. You need a strong currency. This whole idea
that a weak currency is healthy for the economy – you need a strong currency but you need
to invite capital. If you're not going to allow the press to mess up the deal with capital
and pretend they can get capital out of a printing press, you got to get our capital
back home. Which means you've got to get rid of these taxes on capital. And then I think
we could thrive again. But we're not on the verge of doing it. But I think we're going in the right direction
because we are talking about reducing capital gains taxes and taxes on corporations. Texas
has done better because we've never had an income tax on our corporations. They're all
for individuals and I think that's very, very good. Larry Kudlow: And, Congressman, let me just
ask you. Another one of your opponents in the presidential sweepstakes is Governor Mitt
Romney. Now, I'm not taking sides here. I just want to note, when I interviewed Governor
Romney back in April, I asked him specifically about Federal Reserve policies, about QE2,
and I asked him about dollar depreciation. I played the clip earlier, I'm sorry you missed
it. But Mr. Romney, Governor Romney, defended Ben Bernanke. What's your comment on that? Ron Paul: Well, that would tell you where
he's coming from as a very establishment economic position. And, therefore, he wouldn't be arguing
the case for hard money, or sound money, or a strong currency. But that view may change,
who knows. I think the country is changing. And they're putting more emphasis on monetary
policy. And eventually they're going to come around to believing a strong currency is the
most important. But I don't know. I've never discussed it with Mr. Romney about his monetary
policies. Larry Kudlow: All right, Congressman Ron Paul.
We appreciate you…

Kemba Walker came home to New York City to play every minute and record 24 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists in UConn's 76-74 win over Pittsburgh this afternoon. Here's a look at Walker's deadly step-back jumper. I'm willing to bet that Jim Calhoun has never before jumped so high.
