I have clicked on the link and I read about a chemical substance(filter), that is called PBSA and is contained in some sunscreens. \nIt's impressing!\nWe put on our skin a product in order to protect it and we do exactly the opposite! Thanks for the information. I haven't heard about this, but BBC site is a trustworthy site, so this notice must be valid.\nI suppose that this special case is the result of a European Union program about chemicals, their detection and their elimination from our daily life.\n\nKaterina

I don't have an answer for you except that it has something to do with the softness of the lead, I think.  But that made me laugh, so thanks for that, and thanks for the 2  :-)

Today's pencils use graphite not lead.  Check your local Staples or other office supply store.

It is the very nature of democracy that UK and to a lesser extent, US citizens, feel free to mock their leaders. They have no fear of reprisal and such mockery makes their leaders take note of the people they serve.

The UK government monitors everyone and everything. We are the most spied upon people on earth. Even North Korea are in awe of the UK government. Not only are mosques monitored, There are special informers everywhere to grass on you. There are Phone numbers to report crime, litter, drugs, recycling avoidance, illegal immigrants, suspicious this or that - everything. Its a b***dy nightmare. Most people want to get out.

Probably because you are not entering it correctly, or the rest of the address is not on file. The UK is completely backwards with web forms - I have endless trouble with forms trying to guess the right address.\n\nTry going to the Royal Mail web site and looking up your address, then use it exactly as it is displayed on that site.

First of all, it seems implausible that Britain would write the Note in a German code that they were just figuring out how to dechiper. And in 1917, Arthur Zimmerman himself confirmed that the Note was genuine, and in October 2005 an original typescript was uncovered.\n\nSo I'm betting heavily on its authenticity.

You need to look at a publication called Hansard. It's a complete record of everything that's been said in the houses of parliament since the year dot. I don't know if they do an on-line version but try googling and see what you get.

I have not heard of the book, but the reference is obviously from Revelation.  If the content of the book contains something that the government is truly concerned about (such as terrorism) it is possible that if they know you possess the book that would be a "flag."  That would not mean that you are on some "Black List" somewhere, though.  And I promise, the FBI, CIA and NSA have better things to do than put spies in every Barnes and Noble across the country.

A manufacture has the right to demand a written statement from the agency that any proprietary information, methods and/ or processes disclosed/ discovered on a "need to know basis" be held in confidence.  It is best to have such a statement pre-prepared, so that the official conducting the audit can merely sign.\n\nOther than the protection of proprietary data, and the right to have a representative accompany the inspectors, there are no rights for the employer, unless he wishes to deny access which will result in a court order; failure to comply leads to a charge of \ncontempt, and eventually court proceedings, in which the Company has a better than even chance of losing.

Erm, I'm thinking some people here don't follow football/soccer and thus don't understand the booking system (yellow and red cards issued by referees for committing fouls). \n\nAnyway, I feel sure that plenty of politicians worldwide warrant yellow cards and a good deal would deserve red cards, as well. But as I take your question to be more local in context, Patz, I'll stay closer to home.\n\nDomestically, I would obviously issue red cards to bush, cheney and most of the high-ranking ANP senators (frist, inhofe, santorum, et al) and congressmen (delay, blunt, boehner) for war crimes, injurious domestic policy decisions (in the span of four years, they transformed a budget surplus into the worst deficit this country has ever seen), dishonest and disingenuous politics (flag-burning amendments and anti-gay rights legislation when we're at war and our economy is in shambles?!), etc.\n\nI would also issue yellow cards to high-ranking members of the Democratic party for not doing a better job of standing up to these fascists and organizing an effective alternative platform to throw these devils out of office. The mid-term elections in November will demonstrate whether or not they've accomplished anything worthwhile and, especially, whether or not the American electorate has learned anything at all.\n\nAnd finally, since his name has already come up (and he is now fated to be inexorably linked to the loathsome bush), I would give British prime minister Tony Blair a yellow card for allowing the understandably close relations between the US and UK to cloud his judgment on going to war in Iraq. That mistake has cost him dearly at home (less so abroad) and the changeover to his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, really can't come soon enough for me.

This is BS!!! I get 2 or three a week, usually full of poor grammar and all in the UK.   They Know US citizens trust the UK more than Nigeria where most of this BS is thought to come from.  You can see any legit company on the net, although I suspect that is the next level for these mutants.
