Can my employer force me to give my full name to the client?

I worked in quality control department for the past 3 years and we always used little stamps with a single number on it (eg mine was 5 and meant work station no 5). About 5 months ego our management decided we should be writing our names on each box we inspect and recently they gave as special stamps with our names on it. My friend who is African and some eastern european staff think that they are receiving more complaints than before because their names sound foreign and we all start to wonder if we can do anything about this new policy. Any ideas?

E. Coli from Cow Manure Plant Pots?

I bought pots made from cow manure with impatiens in them, but with the recent E. Coli scare in Europe, I'm concerned that the pots could be infected with the bacteria. Is it safe to plant these in a garden? We have a pet dog and we're concerned about her getting sick from them. We're also trying to grow tomatoes in the vicinity of the cow pots.

06 VW Jetta: Front driver side window was stuck down. Call dealership?

The dealership won't take blame for the window first of all. And it sounds like your window my just be sticking. You could always lube the track and hope it doesn't happen again. My window in my truck has done that since i bought it in 2003 and still does it now and then. I spray the track with grease and it works great for another couple years.

How long does a jellyfish sting last?

I was stung by a jellyfish on my forearm, in Folly Beach, South Carolina around the beginning of August of last year ('10). There is a medium sized scar that I've been told will be there for the rest of my life. Rarely, but often enough, I may feel a tiny sting where the initial sting was. When I was stung, protocol was followed and, we believed we removed all the toxin from the area. Is it possible to still feel an occasional tiny sting, in a larger vicinity after almost a year after being stung?
