Pay Up Dad or No Holidays and No Car for You!

In the latest Government crackdown on so called "deadbeat dads", fathers who refuse to pay child maintenance could be stripped of their drivers licence and passport. Figures state that absent parents owe nearly £4 billion in unpaid maintenance. The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission could bypass court procedures to order parents to give up their licences or passports until they meet their financial commitments. It is thought that these measures are a quicker way of dealing with parents who flouted their responsibilities - but what of civil liberties? James Purnell, Work and Pensions Secretary commented: "We are supporting parents in these tough times but, for those who choose not to support their own kids, we will not stand by and do nothing. If a parent refuses to pay up then we will stop them travelling abroad or even using their car. He continued: "We want fair rules for everybody and that means giving people the support they need, but in return expecting them to live up to their responsibilities." Parents groups have reacted with caution, the one-parent family advisory quango Gingerbread sees the measure as a last resort – but accepts that other means of securing payments for children have failed. Gingerbread's Janet Allbeson said: "Over half of all children in single-parent households are poor. And we know, because parliament has told us, that if all non-resident parents who are required to pay money each week by the Child Support Agency did so it would lift an extra 100,000 children out of poverty." The plans, which have been rolled out in the USA and Australia, will be road tested in some areas of the country before being introduced nationally.

Review of the Carvin Bolt-T: Building a Better Stratocaster?

By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010
The Carvin Bolt-T is a great playing and sounding instrument, but its principal feature might just be the cost. We asked for numerous upgrades (including a flamed maple top), and the instrument was still less than $1,000 (shipping included). Other guitar makers (including Fender) should take note of what Carvin offers for such an affordable cost.

Brief Review of the Breedlove C25/CR Herringbone

By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010
Even though the C25/CR isn't a custom Breedlove, it's still an incredibly high-quality guitar. Just because it doesn't have the same custom options as more expensive Breedlove models doesn't mean it's not a solid instrument. It might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend highly. The Breedlove Pro Series is worth every dime.
