"Under the current law, bars can serve drink specials during happy hours that can last no more than two consecutive hours a day for a total of 14 hours a week.
The legislation will still limit happy hours to no more than 14 hours a week, but now bars and taverns can offer discounted drinks for up to four hours on a given day.
Dave Rank, owner of the three Starters bars and restaurants in the Lehigh Valley, said under the old law, he was not able to use the full 14 hours. With business brisk every weekend, he didn't need happy hour to attract people Saturday and Sunday, so he used the maximum two hours each weekday. Now he intends to expand the bars' happy hours Monday through Thursday by one hour, as soon as he's allowed."
I had no idea such a law existed. I never really gave it much thought, but I did find it odd that 2 hours was the limit everywhere. This outdated law certainly explains it.
Naki’o is the first dog to be fitted with a complete set of bionic legs that work naturally to allow him to run, jump and even swim. The prosthetics were designed and fitted in a pioneering procedure by Martin Kaufmann, founder of Orthopets.
Abandoned by a family fleeing their foreclosed home and their mother dead, Naki’o and his brothers and sisters barely survived the harsh Nebraskan winter. Weakened by malnourishment, the red heeler puppy stepped into an icy puddle in the basement and got his four paws stuck in freezing water.
At just five weeks old the litter was taken to an animal rescue center. Under the shelter’s care Naki’o's paws, lost to severe frostbite, healed to rounded stumps.
Veterinary technician Christie Tomlinson was on the look out for a playmate for her Jack Russell terrier mix Poki when she came across Naki’o. Fearful of the pain that walking and playing with other dogs would cause, Naki’o resigned himself to crawling along on his belly at home and at the veterinary clinic’s doggy daycare.
