Just received this email on robocallers. The problem is getting much worse, where most people will not answer calls unless they are certain it is someone they know. still robocallers are spoofing numbers which appear as numbers in our local area, and numbers that you may even recognize, And when you call this number back it is some person that has no idea what happened. The level of accountability with these sorts of activities is unacceptable. There is no accountability and it must be stopped. Robocallers and solicitors must be held accountable fined to the full extent so that it is stopped.
We have an epidemic of invasive robocalls on our hands — and the problem could get worse. More and more robocalls are being made year after year. The last thing we need is for the legal protections we do have to be stripped away.
Federal regulators are weighing new rules to say what robocallers can and can't do. If they issue narrow protections, consumers could be faced with a new barrage of auto-dials from debt collectors, telemarketers, and scammers. That's why today we're asking all our Consumer Reports members to submit a comment to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in favor of more consumer protections against these unwanted calls.
Add your comment to tell the FCC we want the strongest possible protections from invasive robocalls.
Ensure contractors working for the government are covered by the robocall laws.
Issue strong rules reining in the relentless calls from debt collectors who are working on behalf of the federal government.
Ensure that consumers can easily revoke their consent to receiving robocalls at any time.
Set up a reassigned number database to prevent "wrong number" robocalls.
Can you join us in submitting a comment to the FCC? Click here to take action now.
These calls aren't just a nuisance. They cost American consumers hundreds of millions of dollars and plenty of wasted time. It's time for the FCC to take serious action to strike a blow against these unwanted calls.
If you agree, forward this email to as many friends and family as possible so we can collect more comments to send to the FCC. Let's make sure they hear our voices.

If you have been experiencing the onslaught of insects in your garden, you are looking for the most effective non-pesticide solution.
So far it seems that a good slug solution is to place a small container full of beer, the more sour the better, the container top should be at ground level so that the slugs go in and drown. Place several of these around your garden area and check them in a few days and you will see the results, if there are slugs they will go into the container.
Seems like the soy sauce in a tin can(tuna can) filled about half way and then add some oil, vegetable oil seems to work the best, and place it in the area infested with earwigs. Let this stand a day or two and check back, if there are earwigs in your garden they will be attracted to the trap and you will find dead earwigs in your trap, Empty and refill as needed.
For both earwigs and slugs, a predator like birds and chickens are good, but they can only eat so many.
These are some natural remedies for ridding your garden of these predatory insects that could destroy your garden.
For those of you growing tomatoes and have had issues with spider mites, one promising solution is to sprinkle sulfur powder onto the leaves of the tomato and around the stem of the plant.
Try to keep the plan healthy as that is one good defense against insects.

Neighbors are talking about the reopening of Fox's Restaurant in Altadena, CA. After having been closed at the beginning of 2018 for remodeling and under the same ownership(Monique King and Paul Rosenbluh) as the renowned Cindy's in Eagle Rock. Cindy's has become a favorite for locals and visitors as an iconic location for films over the years.
The new menu at Fox's has some of old favorites but also some new items to appeal to all.
The prices are in line. The restaurant received a much needed remodel after a 60 year run.
