How can we stop mistakes made by the Home Office and make the UK safer from crime ? What can we do in the UK when our Home Office is making stupid mistakes with identity papers. They are creating mistakes with peoples date of birth. Name and place of birth and issuing identity documents I would like an enquiry into this by the government to stop multiple identities being issued to each person as is happening now, leaving the country open to criminal activity. I have proof but how can I stop it and who can stop it from continuing ? Or maybe Channel 4 dispatches could do the enquiry

Microsoft word from office home and student only opens in safe mode? The system is a dell vista 32x running Microsoft 2007 office home and student. When I start word, it only shows in safe mode to be able to type. Of course, this doesn't give enough options so I need to open in the "normal" mode. I have tried the repair cd, to no avail. As well as going to programs and clicking repair, to no avail. Also have rebooted since the problem started. I installed a kids game, Madagascar, to the laptop and when I did this, the problems began with word. When it opens in "normal" mode, it takes forever to open the window and says "word is not responding." I have looked all over the internet to find a solution and I have found forums with answers such as, go to regedit and find " " file, and are too afraid to edit anything on my own, as this is not my computer. It gives an option to go to Microsoft's site, but it is not pulling up. This problem is only with Microsoft Word, no other Microsoft programs. I also have an issue with Firefox and IE freezing up and eventually I have to completely exit because I will wait forever and they do not change. I'm not sure if the internet servers would add in to the situation or not, but I thought I'd throw that out there, just in case. There are some times that when I try to restart the computer, the blue screen of death comes on and will not go away until it restarts itself. It restarts on its own about 3 times before it goes back to normal. Have any suggestions? Please let me know. Thanks.

Home fireproof safe that is secured to the floor or wall? I would like to buy a medium size fireproof floor safe (like those at Office Depot), but all I have available to place it on is a carpeted concrete slab. My fear is that if it is not firmly secured, someone with a hand dolly could remove it in minutes. Is there a way to secure a safe to a concrete floor or to wood studs on the wall where it sits so it can't be easily removed?

How difficult would it be to be successful doing computer training out of my home? I would like to do consumer-level computer training out of the large basement of my suburban home. I would also do onsite training. I would teach backups, file management, using malware-removal programs, MS Office, home networking, keeping kids safe online, basic hardware upgrades/repairs, using digital cameras/scanners/image editing, using the Internet better, etc. I have several years of experience teaching these things in a career college. I've found the career colleges to be a rip-off for students. I'm absolutely positive I could provide great training, I'm just concerned about the viability of this as a business.

How was Roman housing similar to our home today and how did it differ? The lower class Romans (plebeians) lived in apartment houses, called flats, above or behind their shops. Even tradesmen might have chosen to live in an apartment-building compound over their store, with maybe renters on the upper stories. Their own apartments might be quite roomy, sanitary and pleasant, occasionally with running water. But others were not that nice. In the flats an entire family (grandparents, parents, children) might all be crowded into one room, without running water. They had to haul their water in from public facilities. Fire was a very real threat because people were cooking meals in crowded quarters, and many of the flats were made of wood. They didn't have toilets in the flat so they had to use public ones. The upper class Romans (patricians) lived in single family homes, which in Ancient Rome meant the great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and kids of one family lived in a home together. Homes were made, quite often, of brick with red tile roofs, with rooms arranged around a central courtyard. The windows and balconies faced the courtyard, not the street, to keep homes safe from burglars. There were paintings on the walls and beautiful mosaics on the floor. There was very little furniture, and no carpeting. Wealthy Romans might have a house with a front door, bedrooms, an office, a kitchen, a dining room, a garden, a temple, an atrium, a toilet, and a private bath.

Do you think it's safe to use my home address with an imprisoned pen pal?

Officefront vs. Home Office? I am in the process of starting an errand service company in my area. Just out of curiosity, I have been looking at some office space. Well, today, I fell in love with this one office/store. It is 400 sq. ft. and located right next to a very popular boutique. It is $400 a month, they pay water, I pay electricity (which she says is very low). I had originally wanted to run my business out of my home office but since I found out that my parents are giving me $6000 to start and run my business, I have been toying with the idea of renting an office space. I have been trying to list pro's and con's but I just can't decide and was wondering if y'all would give me some feedback. Home Office Pro's- Free, tax advantages, already set up with my computer, desk, printer, office stuff, etc, location is good Con's- kind of cramped, especially when hubby is on his own computer doing his homework/goofing off, having a home office means not being "out there" Renting Office space Pro's- Space, lots of traffic and potential customers coming through, being "out there", safe area with police patrols regularly, great location Con's- the added cost, will need to buy separate office supplies, printer, desk, store sign etc What do you think? The office space will be available in August, which would give me enough time to get everything together for the grand opening in September.

Are the urine home pregnancy tests different than the ones you get at the doctors office? I'm late getting my period by almost a week, so I went and got a pregnancy test done at a doctors office. I've never actually had sex but was just wanting to be safe, cuz my bf and I do fool around but no intercourse. Luckily the test was negative, which was good to hear. But I'm still worried I've never not gotten my period late, I'm usually really on time. I asked the doctor why it might late and he just said stress, diet, loss or gaining of weight and sent me on my way. I'm just worried that I could be pregnant and the test could have been wrong, or that it's something more serious. Any ideas? It wasn't a blood test I took, just a urine test.

Recommend a DECENT fax machine for home office? so right now for my home office fax machine, mostly used for outgoing to my parents home work office, and some things to customers as well, not high volume faxing, right now i have this piece of junk HP fax 1010. It has never worked right, always seems to have Send Errors, Jammed Document problems, starts to send and then stops, has this weird ring sometimes when im trying to send a fax. it needs to go, it needs to fly out some 2 story window and smash to the ground (ok to be environmentally safe it will be recycled upon replacement) Suggestions PLEASE on a decent, nice working, compact fax machine that I can get for say less than $180. It doesn't need to do a ton, mostly fax, i've got a scanner/printer combo, i know most faxes are combos, so if you want to recommend one that has other features thats fine, but reading reviews on Amazon, Tigerdirect, New Egg, would like some good words on someone who has one they like. Thanks SO much !! also does faxing a document over a phone line that is VOIP have more of a chance to mess up the fax transmission ?

Is it safe to remove a cat's stitches at home? My cat was spayed recently, and they didn't give her the dissolvable stitches. Now (out of lack of time to get to the vet's office), my mother insists that she can safely remove the stitches herself with scissors or a nail clipper! I've had to talk her out of it a few times already because I despise the idea. Which one of us is the crazy one?

Is it safe to put my 6 month old in the same room as my 2 yr old? My son and daughter are exactly 18 months apart, and he is a VERY active and curious child. I am worried that he will climb in her crib or throw toys in for her. I've read to just explain to him that he can't do this, but that takes time and I think he would need to be a little older to truly grasp that concept. But she needs to move to a crib soon and there is NO room in our bedroom, as it also serves as a home office. Moving is not an option and space is limited.

Young family looking to rent nice, safe family home in Melbourne close to amenities/transport, etc? My partner is in Melbourne, based out of an office in Broadmeadows, but will be field based mostly all over Melbourne. We need to rent a family home and the pressure is on to find somewhere quick!! We love the look of Sanctary Lakes, can anyone give us an idea of what this place is like, and also suggest other areas that might be suitable for us. We have a one year old son, and whilst my partner is at work I will not have a car, so need to be able to keep busy close to our home or I'll go insane!!! Any help would be much appreciated. We really would like a new style property with all mod-cons, so I suppose we are looking at the new estates mainly.

Building a Very Tall Bookcase -? How tall can i build and be safe? We have a room in our house that is more of an office/study. It is not a huge room but the ceilings are quite high. I have always thought about a huge book case. Kinda like you see in movies where you need a ladder. (but not a whole wall). How tall can i built my book case without fearing it tip over, or is there a certain ratio where if i build it deep enough it will be okay. ok - dreaming i would have a 15' book case but how tall could i really realistically build it for a home to be safe not being a master finish carpenter?

Earlier this week I saw one of the kids at her school sitting up at the front office (that's where the kids go if they are waiting to be picked up by a parent for some reason) who's eyes were all red and puffy, he said they itched. My guess is pink eye, but Im not sure. Anyways, today my daughter woke up and one of her eyes is all red and she says it itches...should I keep her home to be safe or send her and risk it?

Are English cricketers safe from terrorists back home in England? Why abandon a series, playing safe or...? Former England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief Ian Charter MacLaurin said that security dangers are too obvious for the England team to return to India for the Test series. 'The England cricket team are very high-profile individuals. If these fanatics are going to target people then the England players could be a very big target for them,' MacLaurin was quoted as saying by the The Daily Telegraph. 'My own view is that I would be very, very surprised if the security people will give them the OK to go back. For myself, I don't think they should go back. I think it is sad for cricket, but the safety of our players is absolutely paramount. I am sure that the ECB will take the same view,' he added. 'There have been terror attacks on England in the past, and cricket matches have still been played soon afterwards. That begs the question of whether a precedent has been set. I am sure the players and the ECB will take good advice from the Foreign Office as to how safe the players will be,' said, Vikram Solanki, the Worcestershire captain, who was born in India and has played both for Rajasthan's state team and Mumbai Champs in the Indian Cricket League. Former Test captains like Bob Willis and David Gower felt that the series must continue. 'If the country is deemed safe before the first Test in Ahmedabad on December 11 and the second in Chennai, they should go and play. Otherwise no one will come to England - teams will say we are as much a terrorist target as any country. I hope that within a fortnight, things will be settled down,' Willis was quoted as saying by the London Times. ‘But we know security would be tight enough. I would almost suggest that if they went back to Bombay, they would be fine. India will provide full security, even though they will find it hard to get this out of their minds,' Gower said. Derek Underwood, the former England spin bowler, who is now president of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), said that there will be serious repercussions if England abandons the series.

Is my tea safe from office mice? I had an incident a few months back with a tin can of "chai latte" mix. It was mostly sugar and spice. Somehow it attracted a mouse (or more) that were unable to get inside the tin but pooped all over my desk (uck). I ended up throwing away the chai latte can...even though it appeared "safe", the whole ordeal freaked me out. So today I brought in these "Mighty Leaf" tea packets in their box. But now I'm afraid to leave them here. They are in a thick paper box (not thick enough to keep out a mouse) and the bags are exposed a bit by the opening in the box. I've brought green tea to work before in packets, but this tea is a mixture of all sorts of leaves and chamomile flowers, etc (it's a variety pack). Is my tea safe? Or should I just bring the whole box home with me? There are traps. I do not work in a restaurant...what restaurant have you ever been to that has an office? o__O Thanks, Briteyes. I think I will do that. I thought the box was so cute I wanted to bring it in, but I quickly remembered the LAST time I brought stuff to work...and yeah. I'll just bring tea bags individually in some plastic bags (in the purse) from now on. Thanks !

First job and want to make the right impression- re: office work hours ethic? I'm fresh out of uni and started my first job three weeks ago. It's a 9-5 job but there's a lot of work to clear because the guy I replaced was very inefficient, and that's on top of all the stuff I get daily in the in tray. A lot of my colleagues work longer hours. Should I do this as well? It's my first job so I want to create the right impression of work ethic. On the other hand, I want to have a work/life balance. I feel I should leave the office every day at 5pm cos it takes me 1hour to get home and I don't feel safe walking alone when it's dark but other people don't know this and might think I only work the number of hours I'm paid for. Should I start work earlier everyday just so I can clear the old guy's backlogged stuff? I would really appreciate your opinion, especially people who have worked a number of years who can advice a person fresh out of college. Thanks so much.

Moving to Atlanta with 2 children and looking for a safe family friendly neighborhood with excellent schools.? My family is relocating to Atlanta this summer and we’re wondering which communities we should look at when buying a home. My husband has been transferred through his work and will be working in an office very near the Perimeter Mall. We're looking for a safe, family friendly neighborhood with excellent schools for our two children. We would like to keep the commute reasonable and wouldn't mind paying more for a house in a desirable neighborhood. We’re definitely suburb people and don’t care if we’re far from the city, shopping, etc. Any suggestions?

Can an oil burner emit any carbon monoxide or other fumes? It's new, installed 2003. We enclosed it in a small vented room in the basement. My home office is right next to it.

The police stole one of these from me today, stating it was illegal? http://www.farbgel.com/ Approved by the home office as a safe means of defence, it does no harm. Who do you believe, the police, or Farb, or the home office? Have already contacted the police station, am intending to gather all the evidence needed to ion form them of when I write the initialo complaint. I am not spaming, you cannot buy individual ones direct from this site, and the fact that police don't accept their legality, is no reason to buy them. Actually the officer REFUSED to give me a receipt, he doesn't even know the basics of law, if anyone takes something from someone else, they canm demand a receipt. I got a receipt when I made a charge of theft by the officer. The police knew I had it, because in making my enquiries, about people using their phone camera in dangerous situations, it came into the discussion, and at their request, I showed it to them. Police have seen it before, but they had the sense to check it was legal, and give it back. It could be used illegally, but I have had this for years, without ever using it. If I ever used it illegally I would be commiting an assault, but in the case of me being attacked, this spray would do not harm to them, but could protect me. The police cannot stop me carrying perfume, that would be more dangerous in the culprits eyes, than this harmless spray.

If the World was so Safe before Bush took Office,How do you Explain this List??????? American Victims of Mideast Terrorist Attacks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a listing of incidents in which Americans are known to have been killed by Middle East-based terrorists. The list will be updated as more information becomes available. The exact number of American casualties is difficult to calculate because of incomplete news reports regarding numbers and nationalities of those injured. The toll from the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center is also uncertain, but current figures place the number of dead above 3,000. The number of dead at the Pentagon and on the hijacked airliners numbered approximately 385. Since Yasser Arafat "renounced" violence in the Oslo Peace Accords on September 13, 1993, at least 53 Americans have been murdered and at least another 83 Americans have been injured by Palestinian terrorism. Excluding the September 11 attacks, approximately 700 Americans have been killed and 1,600 wounded in terrorist attacks since 1970. This list also includes injured Americans since Oslo 1993. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February 23, 1970, Halhoul, West Bank. Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorists open fire on a busload of pilgrims killing Barbara Ertle of Michigan and wounding two other Americans. March 28-29, 1970, Beirut, Lebanon. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) fired seven rockets at the U.S. Embassy, the American Insurance Company, Bank of America and the John F. Kennedy library. September 14, 1970, En route to Amman, Jordan. The PFLP hijacked a TWA flight from Zurich, Switzerland and forced it to land in Amman. Four American citizens were injured. May 30, 1972, Ben Gurion Airport, Israel. Three members of the Japanese Red Army, acting on the PFLP's bbehalf, carried out a machine-gun and grenade attack at Israel's main airport, killing 26 and wounding 78 people. Many of the casualties were American citizens, mostly from Puerto Rico. September 5, 1972, Munich, Germany. During the Olympic Games in Munich, Black September, a front for Fatah, took hostage 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team. Nine athletes were killed including weightlifter David Berger, an American-Israeli from Cleveland, Ohio. March 2, 1973, Khartoum, Sudan. Cleo A. Noel, Jr., U.S. ambassador to Sudan, and George C. Moore, also a U.S. diplomat, were held hostage and then killed by terrorists at the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum. It seems likely that Fatah was responsible for the attack. September 8, 1974, Athens, Greece. TWA Flight 841, flying from Tel Aviv to New York, made a scheduled stop in Athens.

How often is it safe to use a home doppler to hear my baby's heartbeat? I am 9.5 weeks along and just got my rented Dr's-office-quality doppler from bellybeats.com on Tuesday...I tried it twice on Tuesday and didn't hear anything, then once on Wednesday for just a few minutes and heard the heartbeat! My husband didn't get to hear it so I would love to try again, but how often is it safe to use? My stomach does feel a little different right after I've used it and I don't want to do any harm. How often did you use yours? Thanks! Thanks for the responses! I'm definitely not sending it back, I will probably keep it for 2 months...it is the best $36 I ever spent! Sure when I couldn't find the heartbeat at first I was a tad worried although I did figure it was too early, but thats nothing compared to simply not knowing for 5 weeks between ultrasounds. Hearing my baby's heartbeat has brought me relief beyond description and every time I remember what it sounded like I can't stop smiling! Also, I am even more relieved because they say the odds of miscarriage after hearing the heartbeat past 9 weeks is greatly decreased - something like 4% if you haven't had any spotting. So I am on cloud 9 and thrilled that I rented it. I do understand your concern though - if you don't hear the heartbeat one day don't get discouraged because the baby is so small at this point with a lot of room to "hide".

How do I limit my home router so that only my computers have internet access? I have a laptop and a desktop computer and I have a wireless router in my house.

Is it safe to drink old water or water that has been out in the sun? The reason I ask is because my boss is so cheap. He never wants to buy the office any drinks or snacks. Point is he brought this water from home and it has bubbles on the cap and the bottles look sucked in like if they were stored in his garage or something. Not only that but they expire in 2 months. Normaly when you buy new water they dont expire until 2 years so obviously they are old. Should we address this to him? What harm can the water do if we drink it?

is it safe for a baby to travel by air at only 2 weeks old??? ok, i am due to give birth on the 30th of october, and i have been in UK for 4 yrs as a student, my visa is due to expire on the 30th Nov, is it safe for the baby to fly at such an early age (i said 2 weeks assuming that the baby will be a bit late then expected )?? My baby will be a uk citizen as her dad is, but it doesn't change my status, and in order for me to stay here, my husband has to have a permanent job and a good income which he doesn't have now (he recently went bankrupt) so the home office will not take my application into consideration. I have decided to go back home until he gets what the home office asks from him to get (which is going to be really hard for him and me, as he will be far from his baby for an unknown period of time) is there anything i can do to legally extend my stay until my baby gets her jabs and is in the appropriate age to fly? thanks for all answers xx

Help? Locked out of gun safe? Hey....a few months ago i bought a Stack-On brand gunsafe (Model # GCD-9216-5) and my nephews were messing around in my key-drawer in my home office, where i kept the keys for it. Now the keys are missing and if they have them, i have no way of getting them back because they live in New Brunswick, Canada. So, does anybody know how i can get the safe open without a proffessional locksmith coming in? Thank you all for your time! God Bless Oh..its because they have no telephone. (we are a Native Indian family but i'm the only one who has really "modernized")...so they dont have a telephone for me to contact them and I'm never actually sure when they're going to fly in. (they dont have a postage address either)

Safe internet access with VPN? Hi, I haven't been able to find a good answer on the internet to this question--can VPNs provide safe internet browsing access? Say you have a safe, private internet connection at home. Say you are in a cafe with unsecured wireless. Could you connect to your home network with the VPN and then use your home network's internet access with VPN from the cafe? Or would you need remote desktop software to use your home internet connection from the cafe? Can anyone point me to an article that answers this definitively, because there are lots of articles on VPNs that claim they allow safe browsing, but don't mention how. I thought in general VPNs can allow you to safely connect to a home or office network for file access, but that doesn't mean you can safely access the general internet...unless you can use your home or office network's internet connection, right? Thanks!

I work a lot, and I am thinking of taking my puppy to doggy daycare. Are they a safe place for animals? I have my 8 week old german rottie, and I have to work long hours at the office, and I am thinking about putting him in doggy day care. I have never done this before, but I figure that gives him plenty of time to socialize with other dogs and ppl. instead of being at home. any input on the do's and dont's of a "doggy daycare"?

I have used two different kinds of flea meds on my dog is it safe to try another? The vet gave him a heartworm/flea pill that gets rid of flea eggs and another monthly pill that gets rid of adult fleas. He was fine for a few days, but when I went home to visit my family, the family dog had fleas and he came home scratching. I used a flea comb to get rid of a few, but he still is scratching. I'm calling the vet when the office opens in a few hours, but any advice would be helpful. What is the best flea medicine?

My mucous plug has just come out. I'm wondering if it is still safe to have sex? This is my third pregnancy but the first time I have ever lost my mucous plug. I'm 39 weeks. I was at the doctors office today and my doctor checked my cervix (I was fully effaced and 2 cm dilated) when I got home I went to the washroom and when I wiped myself there was brown and bloody mucous on the toilet paper. I also had a bath right after and when I did there were bloody "strings", my husband called them, in the bath water. First of all should I be going to the hospital being so far along. Secondly is it safe to have sex if i still have'nt gone into labour in a day or two?

what kinds of plastic are safe to grow food in? ? I want to grow lettuce in my home this winter. I have seen people grow food in things that were not made for the purpose ( office paper trays, bureau drawers, food service containers, white construction buckets). I know some plastics can leak dangerous chemicals into water, especially if they get scratched. I need shallow, lightweight containers with no holes. I might need to drill holes in some containers, and use others for liners. Any ideas? Thanks for helping.

How contagious is whooping cough? One of the women in our office is home sick with Whooping Cough. Her doctor said she was ok to work but didn't want to come in as she didn't want me to get it or pass it on to my little baby at home (8 months). The other girls in the office practically sterilsed the whole office with antiseptic to keep me safe. My baby has been immunised anyway - so does she need to worry - is it really that contagious?

Don't you just feel safe under New Labour? A retiring chief constable has attacked the Government's failure to prevent violent foreign criminals returning to Britain after being deported. Steve Pilkington, 56, who retires from Avon and Somerset Constabulary today, said he was fed up with having to arrest and convict the same offenders repeatedly because of lax border controls. "What really concerns me is the way we allow violent, dangerous criminals to just walk through our borders. advertisement"It has damaged our communities, damaged the prospects of our young people and it has destroyed lives, particularly through crack and cocaine." In an interview with the BBC's Points West in Bristol, Mr Pilkington, a police officer for 32 years, did not specify the nationality of offenders. However, it was understood his remarks referred to Jamaican drug dealers, who have been blamed for a rise in violent crimes, including shootings, in parts of Bristol. Similar violence, mostly linked to the crack cocaine trade, has been seen in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and other cities, involving some Jamaican Yardie gangsters and British-born criminals linked to them. Of the 9,000 foreign nationals in jails in England and Wales at the end of September, about 2,000 were from Jamaica. The women's prison population is dominated by Jamaican "mules" - drugs couriers - but many men have also been convicted. The Home Office has deported criminals to Jamaica, where some have been released and returned to drug trafficking, travelling between Jamaica and Britain on false documents. Highly-addictive crack cocaine has increased street crime and violence between gangs dealing in it. Jamaica's gun culture has become entrenched in some inner cities. Mr Pilkington said: "Deported criminals returning to Britain is a failure of border control. It is a failure of intelligence and I think it is a failure of resourcing. "I am simply fed up with having to catch and convict the same people over and over again for similar offences. "Once they have entered our country, abused our laws and abused our hospitality and they are convicted and deported, that should be it. And they should not be able to get back into the country." In 2003, for an eight-week period, Mr Pilkington put armed police on the streets of Bristol for the first time, amid heightened tension between rival drugs gangs. Police blamed an influx of Jamaican drug dealers for an increase in violent crime in some areas of the city, including the St Pauls area

How come the Government want to know everything about ordinary, innocent people, yet....? .... they have no idea how many asylum seekers/paedos/rapists/murderers/terrorists there are, and any that ARE caught get let out early anyway? They honestly seem to be more interested in snooping on regular people such as you and I than doing anything to fight crime. The Home Office are basically saying 'look, we don't know how many dangerous people there are because we ****ed up, but you must tell us ALL of your details in order to be safe!' Are they more concerned about creating a big brother state than actually catching REAL criminals?! I'm talking about this kind of thing... http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=5257&&edition=1&ttl=20070115141716 i hate hippies.. I'm afraid you have fallen for yet more Bush spin. This talk of 'only tapping the phones of terrorists' is BS. It applies to ALL US citizens. Let's say for instance you have certain political views they don't like, or are a member of an organization they don't like (animal rights, civil rights, environmental agency) etc.. You don't think they will be keeping a close eye on you? Please...........

37 + weeks and painting in office? Next week I will be 37 weeks pregnant and they are going to be doing cosmetic work to our office (painting, tearing our carpet, etc). I can't open my windows in my office, is it safe for me to be in here while they are doing this? I don't have a choice, staying home for those 2-3 days is not an option. What can/should I do? Moving me into another office is not an option either....I just don't know what to do... There is no where else for me to work...our office is a VERY VERY old house, we don't even have a break room, I know it's crappy....my boss knows the concerns but there's not much they can do.... Tiger Lilly: There is nothing more important than my baby....I just have to have a job to pay for things...like insurance for when my baby is born....our business doesn't honor FMLA b/c we are too small, that's why I can't take 12 weeks off with my baby, just 6 un-paid weeks....

Send only the most dangerous and persistent criminals to prison? Home Secretary John Reid has urged the courts to send only the most dangerous and persistent criminals to prison because of the lack of prison capacity, with only 317 places left in jail. This is "outrageous" sentences are being dictated by the prison capacity and not by the crime committed. Again the public is being put at risk by the failure of ministers. Offenders who should be sent to jail won't be, because the Government failed to address the lack of prison capacity. Why is this country so soft on people who commit serious crimes or the continua’s repeat offenders, who as soon as they get out of jail get back into crime again. Is it too cozy in Prison? With TV, games consoles and sports? Do you think Prison should be a place where offenders certainly wouldn’t want to return to? Should we make life much harder in the prisons? Give prisoners fewer rights? What about the rights of the public, (the people who vote these governments in office) to have a reduced crime rate and feel safer in our homes and on our streets?

How can I work round or condition myself to work from 8am to 6pm rather than 4pm to 2am? I'm a chronic night owl who is finding it difficult to settle down to a full day of work. I can't seem to start serious work until around 3 or 4pm then I can work till 2 or 3pm. As my office is not in a safe neighbourhood, i can't stay late at the office. If i try to continue at home, it takes a while for me to get the flow back. It's really affecting my work time and I am getting into all kinds of trouble so i need help asap

Are international mail forwarding services safe or suspect? Hello, I would like to make a brief introduction about myself. I am the lead singer/vocalist in a rock/pop band, The Embezzles, (name have been changed quite a few times within the past few months)and we’re very similar to Paramore and Linkin Park. We’re sort of a big deal in East Texas with an increasing fan base which continues to grow expendably great but we have a big problem communicating and contacting fans. We’ve tried everything from Post Office boxes, Private Mailboxes and social networking sties. Unfortunately, the Postal Services are on shaky ground. Postal Services have rules and regulations to combat mail fraud and other crimes committed using postal and private mailboxes which sounds convincing but the postal services are on the wrong side here. Rather than protecting privacy they are seeking to invade it and rather than allowing some consumer choice they are looking to stifle what little competition exists. Unfortunately, scam artists also utilize the convenience of private mailboxes to hide illegal activities, such as credit card fraud, identity theft and schemes to swindle the elderly. In other words or simple terms, P.O. boxes and Private Mailboxes are growing concerns of the postal services used in order to single out P.O. boxes and PMB(private mailboxes) who have personal accounts instead of business accounts. We would like to have an address rather than using one of our own physical home address because you guys are aware of fans(groupies) can be a bit psychotic at times when bands are in the limelight destined for stardom. Instead of selling merchandise, passing out flyers, etc. from our tour van/hotel (lol) J, we decided that we want to be able to reach fans outside of our 100 mile radius giving fans the opportunity to write personal letters to one our band members, pics or whatever the fans want to give their favorite band (The Embezzles ) ,in order to converse on numerous occasions, but we do not want to give the government or postal office or any carrier service speculations or any misleading ideas that we are subjecting to a scheme to earn money or somehow get personal information from individuals. All we want is to build a connection with our fans in order to solidify our relationships to remind them of upcoming tour dates, nearby performances, or any updates we might have in order to refresh the memories of our fans. We were recommended on some international mail forwarding service sites but getting an international P.O. or Private box seems a little suspect, wouldn’t you agree? Although they offer great services they only require your personal information….sometimes to much information. I have scavenged many postal services sites and some websites seem a bit puzzling. Even though they have U.S. Postal Forms and identification requirements they false advertise and some sites even have numerous complaints from previous customers. If I were to come across one of these misleading websites how would I be able to recognize a true and faithful postal or forwarding service from any other website posing as a legit mail forwarding service? Are there any services that allows you to apply online if so this would be my first option to cut out the hassle and run around the postal services have been giving us. Thanks for your all your time and help.

Got home later (after the vet's office hours) and read the box and insert before giving the medicine. It clearly says on both box and insert, "For otic use in dogs only." I've looked at several websites and get no real clear yea or nah as to whether this is safe for my cat, and thus I have not used it yet. Does anyone know?

Do you know of any at home remedies that will help my dogs ear infection? I have a 100lb hound dog named Hank. I have had him since he was a baby and he is now 7. He has always been prone to get ear infections. Usually to treat them, I use to flush them with hydrogen peroxide. However recently we ended up at the Vets office with a large bill, due to his ear infection. They gave him "Gentizol" to clear the yeast infection, as well as "Oticalm" to help prevent this from happing in the future. My question is this: I dont mind purchasing the expensive medications for him when we have the money to do so...however there are times when money is tight and I still want to do everything I can to ensure that he is healthy. Do you know of any safe at home remeides that you may use that has helped cut down on ear infections in Large Bred Dogs? Thanks

How to protect against fraud at closing of a home when paid by cash.? I will be paying for the house with a cash (not real bills but what i mean is that i am not going to get a mortgage). Part of the money is given to me by my parents so i want to be very careful. Closing is being done by the title company who is also the escrow company. Ideally i want to pay by certified check. i want to avoid wire because when i initiate a wire request i don't get reciept 1. What documents should i recieve in the closing meeting to assure that i am safe and not being frauded. 2. The seller told me that if you pay by certified check then i will not get the keys until the check clears. This makes me suspicious. Should i not get the keys and dead at the end of the closing meeting. 3. The seller (who is also a real estate agent) told me that closing agent from title company can meet us at the sellers office and close there. The place doesn't seems neutral to me, is that an acceptable practice. Please help i want dont want to risk my mom and dad's money. Thanks to all of you for your knowledge and advice. Just another though, How about paying by cashier's check. That should be treated as cash. With cashier's check should i get the keys right away? Thank again people, really appriciate it. thanks
