Some people say that others use Mozilla Firefox not because they loved the functionalities it provides but because they just hate Internet Explorer (or they hate Bill Gate's guts). It's like a bandwagon effect against the monopoly or the establishment.
With the release of IE integrating tabbed browsing (the first feature I love about FF), the gap between the two browsers have closed in. Again, there are other alternatives out there that are as robust (others even faster) as Firefox. Now, the number of Firefox users have climbed to a level (2-digit figure) that one can no longer consider it as a minority. That label may now be passed on to Maxthon (which Google bought into) and the ever-social Flock browser.
Will the day come that people will start leaving Firefox? Has Firefox lost its flare?

Katherine's joy at stamp bid success
Posted: January 12, 2014|
A USED stamp appeal launched by recovering leukaemia patient Katherine Sinfield is going from strength to strength.
The appeal was launched last year as a means of raising money for leukaemia charities – and the latest donation to the charity Leukaemia CARE topped the scales at nearly 25 kilogrammes.
The 33-year-old, who is the wife of Mail journalist Stephen Sinfield, is recovering from a bone marrow transplant that she had to undergo after she was diagnosed with leukaemia.
She said: "When I launched the appeal, a lot of people asked how I expected to raise any money from tiny scraps of paper.
"As this latest donation shows, when added together these tiny scraps of paper transform into a back-breaking sack worth tens of pounds for charity.
"This latest donation, jointly collected by readers of the Burton Mail and Ashbourne News Telegraph, was by far the largest we have delivered so far and so I'm confident that when sorted, this delivery will top the bank as well as the scales."
Readers are reminded that stamps should only have a 4mm to 8mm border of paper around the edges, as excess paper lowers the value.
UK stamps should be separated from foreign stamps.
She added: "Used stamps are a valuable resource for charities.
"A single stamp on its own may not appear very much, but if we all saved them and bundled them together, we would be raising vital funds for charity.
"This type of fund-raising costs you nothing to do.
"You don't have to pledge your own cash or a monthly direct debit.
"All you have to do is hang on to some tiny scraps of paper which you would stick in the recycling bin anyway."
The amount charities receive per kilogramme of stamps varies, but typically they can expect a return of between £4 to £5 for UK stamps and significantly more for foreign stamps.
Readers or businesses wanting to help should drop their used stamps off at the Burton Mail's High Street offices.

Recipe by Chef John
"I served mine with some beautifully ripe slices of avocado that gives the final bowl another layer of silky richness. By the way, don't let the cocoa powder in our chili spice mixture throw you off! It's only a small amount and it really works. My chili was garnished with sour cream, diced jalapeno, cilantro and avocado."

We loved this chili!
I will make it again for my husbands birthday party. It is spicy so just put less spice and add until it is right for you. Very good.
Quite nice but nothing special
57 Ratings
Spicy but very tasty. Added an extra can of maple flavoured beans. Will use this recipe again. Thanks chef John!
I heart this recipe so so much!!! I love that the flavor is complex - you can adjust the heat. And what I love most is using the chili spice as a rub on grilled chicken and fish. When I make this recipe, I double the spices, store 1/2 of them in a covered jar, and make the chili with the rest. The spice mix stays on-hand when I'm in a hurry. Rub it together with a T of oil into some chicken thighs and grill for a quick, DeLicious dinner.
I have recently become obsessed with Chef John's recipes, videos, and reviews. My husband made this chili on Friday night and did not change anything. The flavor and consistency were excellent. Last night I took the left overs and made a pasta bake with 8 oz Campanella pasta and shredded Vermont white cheddar in an 8x8 pan covered @ 350 for 30 min and uncovered for another 15 min. The chili had such wonderful intense flavor that I did not need to add anymore spice. This is very spicy and not for kids as is.
Very good!! It was very spicey though, I lef out one of the peppers it called for just cause I didn't have it and used only a tablespoon chili powder. Nice flavor though and if you like it spicey use the recommended measurements. I will definitely be making this again!
Chef John this is the most flavorful WONDERFUL chili I have ever made! Absolutely 100% GREAT!
What a terrific EASY recipe and better for you than using fatty ground beef.
Highly recommended and will most definitely put it on our regular menu.
Giving this 4 stars only because it was too spicy for me. It was good, and I should add we ate it the next day loaded with cheese, sour cream and guacamole and ate it as nachos. We liked the nachos as all the condiments and chips cooled down the spice. It's very thick and does has a really good flavor. But like I said (for me) way too spicy. So if you like it hot you will love this chili.

This was very good a nice change from steamed Asparagus

Nice change from traditionally steamed asparagus, gave a traditional dinner a very strong look on the table...
I found the flavor of the sesame oil to be overwhelming. I don't think I'd make this recipe again, but if so, I would do half or less than half the sesame oil.

Decorating video: Modern country dining room
Style suggestion
- For the latest look add a splash of colour. The tomato-red lamp shade contrasts with the natural wood and brightens up the whole scheme.
Take a down-to-earth country look and mix with industrial elements, such as metal furniture and open units, for a practical room that feels modern and light. Styled and presented by Robin Collingwood.
Step 1: Walls
Leave exposed plaster on walls or recreate this effect with layers of paint mixed with sand. Paint on a base, then dab on shades of off-white and ochre.
Step 2: Floors
Wood floors are practical and warm. If you don't have good floorboards, lay a textured wood laminate instead and add a cream rug.
Step 3: Windows
Light is key to this look, so keep curtains simple. The brown fabric works well with the wood tones.
Step 4: Furniture
Mix wood and metal for an industrial feel and buy an untreated wood table for a great focal point. Open units complete the functional look.
Step 5: Accessories
Shop around for hard-wearing rustic accessories that grow more attractive with wear and tear. Hide untidy items away in storage baskets.

Wake counting on seven-man sophomore class
The best thing about all those freshmen that dominated Wake Forest's roster last year is that now they're sophomores.
Only two current players saw the court for the Demon Deacons as recently as two seasons ago — and one of them didn't play last year because he was injured.
And coach Jeff Bzdelik hopes all those young players have grown up.
"They're older, they're wise, they're stronger, they're more mature," Bzdelik said Tuesday during the team's preseason media day.
"They gained a valuable understanding of what's expected to win at this level. They've improved their bodies, they've improved their minds, they've improved their skill. And in a collective way, they're excited about their future."
After three straight losing seasons, the Demon Deacons hope their future is now.
This is a critical year for Wake Forest, which started at least three freshmen in all but three games last season and went on to finish 13-18 for the second straight year.
Their 6-12 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play included some big wins — home upsets of nationally ranked Miami and North Carolina State — but no league victories away from Winston-Salem.
"We know what to expect now, so expectations are higher," sophomore big man Devin Thomas said. "We have the expectations that coach has for us. We hold ourselves accountable."
Forward Travis McKie, the only fourth-year senior on the roster, says he sees "a lot more confidence" out of a sophomore class led by Thomas, an all-ACC freshman team selection, and guards Codi Miller-McIntyre and Madison Jones.
"Just how they walk, they're sure about themselves and I'm sure that's going to carry a long way into the season," McKie said.
McKie and forward Daniel Green are the only remaining players from the 2011-12 team, and Green redshirted last year after tearing a knee ligament.
That injury wound up leading to more court time in critical situations for big men Thomas and Arnaud William Adala Moto.
At times, they flourished. Thomas had season highs of 25 points and 14 rebounds in the upset of N.C. State, and Miller-McIntyre scored 15 points as the Demon Deacons knocked off the then-No. 2 Hurricanes.
But at other times, things didn't go quite as well.
Thomas and Miller-McIntyre were each 3 of 10 in a rock-bottom, 20-point loss to a bad Georgia Tech team that at one point led Wake Forest 37-7. The Demon Deacons lost all but two games away from Winston-Salem last year, and one of those road wins was a 30-minute drive away in Greensboro.
"In certain situations, we did not handle that well because we weren't so used to it," McKie said. "If one person messes up, it messes up the rest of the five. ... You can't practice those in-game situations when you're down one, up one, and I think the more experience you have, the more comfortable you are in your own skin ... the better the outcome."
One of the marks of an inexperienced team is an inability to win close games — especially on the road — and last year's Wake Forest team dropped seven games by two possessions or less.
Bzdelik says he reviewed each of those tight losses and counted how many charging calls, loose balls and other breaks went to their opponents — and went to work on finding ways to make those loose balls bounce his team's way.
"Now, they understand that, and if you guys want to get to postseason play and if you want to have a winning season, every possession matters, guys," Bzdelik said. "They understand that ... because now we have a reference point."

The Cereal Murders (Goldy Bear #3)by Diane Mott Davidson
Thanks to her recent adventures in Dying for Chocolate, Goldy Bear, the premier caterer of Aspen Meadow, Colorado, is no stranger to violence--or sudden death. But when she agrees to cater the first College Advisory Dinner for Seniors and Parents at the exclusive Elk Park Preparatory School, the last thing she expects to find at the end of the evening is the battered body of the school valedictorian. Who could have killed Keith Andrews, and why? Goldy's hungry for some answers--and not just because she found the corpse. Her young son, Arch, a student at Elk Park Prep, has become a target for some not-so-funny pranks, while her eighteen-year-old live-in helper, Julian, has become a prime suspect in the Andrews boy's murder. As her investigation intensifies, Goldy's anxiety level rises faster than homemade doughnuts... as she turns up evidence that suggests that Keith knew more than enough to blow the lid off some very unscholarly secrets. And then, as her search rattles one skeleton too many, Goldy learns a crucial fact: a little knowledge about a killer can be a deadly thing.
Chopping Spree (Goldy Bear #11)by Diane Mott Davidson
Her inventive recipe for mixing first-class suspense and five-star fare has made Diane Mott Davidson a favorite of mystery lovers and a mainstay on major bestseller lists across the country. Now she has prepared another irresistibly tempting tale spiced with mystery and mayhem... For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, business isn't just booming--it's skyrocketing. Her friend Marla is constantly warning her, "Success can kill you. " But Goldy doesn't take the warning literally until her next booking: a cocktail party for the Westside Mall's Elite Shoppers Club. While setting up, Goldy is nearly run down by a truck with no intention of stopping. Then she finds an old friend in a pile of sale shoes--stabbed with one of Goldy's new knives. Goldy must catch the real killer between whipping up Sweethearts' Swedish Meatballs, Quiche Me Quick, and Diamond Lovers' Hot Crab Dip. Why was the victim carrying a powerful narcotic? Who hired a private investigator shortly before the murder? Goldy's gourmet instincts tell her the final course in this case will be a real killer.

Double Shot (Goldy Bear #12)by Diane Mott Davidson
Caterer supreme Goldy Schulz has more on her plate than she can handle. Her ultra-charming, ultra-wealthy, and seriously psychopathic ex-husband, Dr. John Richard Korman (aka "the Jerk"), is free now that the governor of Colorado has commuted his prison sentence. And someone -- the Jerk, perhaps -- has taken great pains to sabotage Goldy's latest culinary endeavor, a post-funeral reception for a friend at a local lodge. But even more than the anonymous threats, rumors, and violence that have lately been directed Goldy's way, it's her discovery of a fresh corpse that really spoils the stew -- a murder that could tear her family to pieces, a murder that virtually everyone believes Goldy committed. True, she's been efficiently framed, but at least she's still breathing, which may not be the case for long, if she doesn't track down a killer who's cooked up a very nasty repast for Goldy and the people she loves.

The San Antonio Light
Wednesday, November 4, 1970
By Jim Morse
Content: New York – It was a dark bar on a dingy street running off of New York's Times Square. Joe Blaise, a husky, well-dressed man with a light smile, was talking to three gangsters he knew were planning a gambling operation in Florida. They referred to themselves as "The Three Musketeers".
As the drinks flowed and the conversation drifted toward their plans to take in illegal dollars from the Florida vacationers, one of the men cautioned: "Hey you guys, be careful what you say. What about Joe?"
"He's okay," replied another, "he's been cleared."
"Great," said the first man, "let's have another round. And if you're interested, Joe, we may include you in on the deal and make it 'The Four Musketeers' This was a victory of sorts for Joe Blaise. He's been accepted. He was very much interested in the deal, but not from the same view point as its three companions."
He was in the bar in his role as an undercover investigator for a relatively obscure federal agency – the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (AT&F) Division of the Treasury Department.
When most of us hear of the Treasury Department, we immediately think of the Internal Revenue Service. When we hear of federal undercover agents, we think of the FBI.
By July 1923, he was working as a mounted U.S. Customs inspector in El Paso and Marfa, Texas. Although wearing a different badge, he was still working to put bootleggers out of business. "On September 2 of that year, he was run over by a 'rum runner' on Newman road. He lost a tooth and was badly bruised."
Both are misconceptions.
Actually, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division comes under the board umbrella of IRS in the Treasury Department, as do Secret Service, Intelligence, and US customs agents, but AT&F has nothing to do with income tax.
"As for undercover work," explains special agent Blaise, "unlike the FBI, we do our own. The FBI does have undercover operatives, but they aren't the FBI agents themselves."
According to Blaise, there's another misconception that the FBI leads the Federal Government's war against violent crime.
"We're (AT&F) the ones who hit the crime syndicate the hardest." says Blaise, who has been with the Treasury Department for 19 years.
Although it's possible that you've never heard of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division, it has been around since 1934 when agents of the division functioned as 'revenuers' seeking to exact alcohol taxes from armed moonshiners in the hills of Kentucky, Georgia and the Carolinas.
Today, Blaise and his fellow agents are still concerned with the enforcement of alcohol tax laws, but they have other major duties, including enforcement of federal firearms laws.
One of AT&F's proudest achievements is the Gun Control Act of 1968, a measure that became law with the division's active support.
"That law gives us the tools to fight syndicated crime," says Blaise. "It gives us the authority to enforce laws pertaining to the shipment and processing of machineguns and cut-down rifles, and the possession of firearms by convicted felons."
"What we're most concerned with,". says Blaise, "is the illegal possession of machineguns, sawed-off shotguns, and destructive devices such as Molotov cocktails, grenades, rockets and other forms of bombs. The importation of surplus military firearms and any firearms not suitable for sporting purposes is also prohibited under the Gun Control Act."
"Lee Harvey Oswald could never have gotten his rifle the way he did if the law had been on the books in 1963."
Blaise was referring to the 6.5 Mannlicher-Carbine, and imported itialian army surplus weapon which Oswald purchased by mail order for $12.78. Oswald is believed to have used the weapon to slay President Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
The 1968 bill halted mail order buying of such weapons in addition to prohibiting the sale of firearms to convicted felons, mental incompetents and dishonorably discharged servicemen.
Blaise, who was at Pearl Harbor the day of the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941, and who spent six years with the Air Force in WWII as an aerial gunner instructor, admits with a sly grin that his wife, Vivian, isn't happy with his undercover work.
"I've served as an undercover agent with the Mafia in New York, Milwaukee and Chicago,and Vivian doesn't like it at all. She keeps telling me, 'One of these days they'll throw your body on the front lawn.'"
"I'll tell her not to worry, that the Mafia doesn't know where I live and that they're more likely to throw my body in the river."
Blaise says such things with a laugh, but he admits that AT&F threat of sudden death.
"Percentage wise," he says, "Our division has the highest rate of fatalities of any law enforcement service in the country. We've had 155 agents killed – 102by gunfire – in the last 25 years."
Blaise, 49, says that it calls for "a special breed of man" to be an AT&F agent.
"We got to get out there on the street and really fight crime, he says,
God knows we don't do it for money, glory or prestige. Most people don't know who we are. When I show my badge, people usually say 'Oh, you're here about my income tax' or 'you must be from the FBI.'"
Blaise, who lives with his wife in New York City, has served as a bodyguard to President Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, Jacqueline Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy.
"I was assigned to the Nixon family for a year," he says, "It was a privilege. I was able to get to know them all very well. The President has a tremendously strong character. His personality doesn't come through at first, but we got along very well."
Joe's present assignment is that of law enforcement liaison and public education officer for AT&F's North Atlantic region, which includes New York and the six New England states. He works out of headquarters in New York City, under the supervision of John Piper, a 6-4 250 pound crime fighter who came up through the ranks to become AT&F's chief enforcement for the region.
"We have 1,500 AT&F agents throughout the country," says Blaise, "Most of them came to us because they wanted action. And one of our concerns this fall is violence – on and off the campus. If anyone has any knowledge of bombings or bombers, we urge them to get in touch with us."
Joe Blaise is a man who is proud of his job. "We're still revenuers to a certain extent, he says,
but we do more. Much more. And the only thing we have to do with income tax is to – just like everyone else – pay it."

Susquehanna University Takes Part in Obama's Interfaith Campus Challenge
Published on January 3, 2012
Susquehanna University is focusing an array of community events and service-learning programs to meet the President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, in which colleges commit to a year of interfaith community service programming.
Under the Campus Challenge, participants from diverse backgrounds come together to tackle community issues, such as homelessness or the environment. While helping the community at large, participants can expand and strengthen their own relationships.
Susquehanna is meeting the President's challenge by expanding current service initiatives centered on local hunger and poverty and adding a service-learning component to help students reflect on their experiences. The university is strengthening its connection to Haven Ministry, a homeless shelter in Sunbury, by having an interfaith group of students prepare dinner there on a regular basis. They follow up with discussions about the role of faith in motivating people for service, the importance of interfaith cooperation, and religious diversity on campus and in the community.
The school is also deliberately involving international students—especially those who follow religious traditions underrepresented on campus—in these projects and discussions. Challenge-related activities will draw parallels with other Susquehanna service programs that address poverty and hunger further afield, including relief trips to Central America, the Philippines and New Orleans, among others, and the Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.
"In our local communities, it is hunger and poverty that truly challenge the health and happiness of our citizens," said Kate Palley, Susquehanna's director of Jewish life. "Since many of our students are from Pennsylvania, they know about these issues and are passionate about combating them. Many of our students are also first-generation college students and are seeking ways in which to serve those who are not as fortunate."
The Office of the Chaplain and the Center for Jewish Life have scheduled lectures and panel discussions on the diversity of faith, including a panel last September composed of Palley, The Rev. Mark Wm. Radecke, university chaplain, and Muslim scholar Sanaullah Kirmani, discussing traditions of community service within each of their respective faiths.
"Advancing dialogue between different faiths, and between students with varied backgrounds, will strengthen our commitment to diversity in general," Palley said. "It will also strengthen our commitment to religious diversity, and a deep understanding of how our faiths shape how we see the world, and how they can connect us as individuals."
Susquehanna's Challenge programming is organized by the Office of the Chaplain and the Center for Civic Engagement, with support from the university's Religious Life Council, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Lutheran Student Movement, ELCA Student Advocacy Team, SU Quakers Worship Group, Catholic Campus Ministries, Hillel Student Organization and International Student Services.
"In discussing differences between our faith backgrounds, we will also discover the many similarities between our traditions, especially when it comes to performing community service," Palley said. "Our hope is that, as the year progresses and our efforts become more widely known in the community, other local religious institutions will join our initiative."

Yesterday, we all rejoiced at this great news: David Beckham will probably continue to play soccer for the L.A. Galaxy instead of moving to Paris to play for some fancy French team. Just kidding. We like soccer and all. But we were actually rejoicing about the ad for David Beckham Bodywear for H&M that leaked all over the Internets. And now we are even happier, because the folks at H&M sent us the official pics of Becks in his skivvies, looking as hot as he always has at the ripe old age of 36, and making us forget that adorably squeaky voice of his. Actually, he also may make us forget that he's selling underwear at all, unless it comes with a perfectly sculpted, tattooed man as well. (OK, for those of you actually in the market for the boxers, briefs, undershirts, pajama bottoms and long johns, they will be available on February 2.)

Ask your Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to veto the proposed list of 220 authorised 'general function' health claims which will also simultaneously forbid all health claims that have not been scientifically proven to standards set by the controversial European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Once this list is passed into law, around 2,500 commonly used claims about the health benefits of foods and food ingredients (health claims) will be banned. In the past, these health claims are likely to have made it easier for you to choose particular foods and food supplements to help manage your own health, or that of friends or family. By comparison, the marketplace used by future generations will contain only a very limited number of frequently repeated, generalised health claims. With such limited information available, it will be much harder to choose foods and natural health products based on their specific health benefits.
A majority vote in the European Parliament remains the only way to block the passage of the list into European law.
The implications for society — and future generations — are enormous if we allow this reduced, deeply deficient list of health claims to become law.
You have a fundamental right to the information that will help you to understand what you are eating and drinking; to give you the ability to make informed choices; and ultimately, to have control over your own health and wellbeing. Don't let the EU take this away from you.
See below ANH-Intl's press release issued today, following the launch of our MEP health claims veto campaign pack in the European Parliament (MEPs).
For immediate release
31st January 2012
Last Friday, a short list of just 220 health claims was passed to the European Parliament for its scrutiny. Only two obstacles remain before the list becomes law. The first hurdle will be cleared if the Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) does not object to the proposed list. If a plenary vote taken by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) within 90 days is also positive, only these 220 health claims will be able to be used to indicate the beneficial value of commercial food and health food products across all 27 EU member states. Some 2,500 health claims that were rejected by the controversial Parma-based institution, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), will be banned within 6 months.
In response to this, Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-Intl) has today launched a campaign aimed at informing MEPs – in particular, members of the ENVI committee – of the risks of accepting the 'general function' health claims list in its present form.
Calling on MEPs, ANH-Intl's executive and scientific director, Robert Verkerk PhD, said: "MEPs, like European citizens, rightly want to ensure that misleading information is removed from the marketplace. But the inappropriate standards of proof of benefit required by European authorities mean that thousands of health claims, including such obvious examples as the effects of eating prunes on digestive health, have been thrown out. Also, evaluation of health claims for some groups of nutrients, such as botanicals and probiotics, has yet to be completed, so it would be premature to turn the proposed shortlist of 220 into EU law."
ANH-Intl has released a campaign pack that provides MEPs with detailed reasons why it believes the ENVI committee members should object to the proposed list when it comes to an internal committee vote on 9th February. Additionally, ANH-Intl will ask European citizens across the EU to urge their MEPs to vote against the list when it is considered in a plenary session of the entire Parliament, following the 3-month European Parliamentary scrutiny period.
The most recent successful veto of a regulatory proposal was in May 2010, when the European Parliament blocked the authorisation of the meat glue thrombin in the EU.

It is an international alliance of consumers, practitioners, doctors, scientists and lawyers, as well as specialist natural health enterprises, all with a common goal of optimising human health using, as far as possible, approaches that are compatible with human physiology and our genetic backgrounds. The World Health Organization, and other leading health authorities, have confirmed that the major burdens on healthcare systems the world over are now caused by largely preventable, chronic diseases. Since prevention of these diseases needs to be mediated largely through dietary and lifestyle changes, the EU's Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation, and in particular its power to authorise and ban health claims, is of vital significance to European citizens' ability to make informed choices over the foods and ingredients consumed.
ANH-Intl was established by sustainability scientist, Robert Verkerk PhD, in 2002, and Dr Verkerk remains its executive and scientific director.

I'm a little bit confused. Is the proposed bill not good for consumers? It is ensuring that products being sold making health claims have research to back up their claims?
I am behind this completely. More people need to know about this and how it affects them. This is a very worthy cause, and one that I was first made aware of from wiktip.org. Since that time I have spread the word as much as I can.
parents must fight doctors to recieve better medicine.
and this makes my heart sad .
doctors do not think for patient .
this makes me sad .
and now is the time for us to get best medicine .
Can anyone give me the email addresses of relevant bodies, politicians in the UK/Europe etc who I can send a generic letter to highlighting the absolute irresponsible, repungant business practices, pseudo science that is totally out of touch with the greatest living technology in existence - namely that of nature. It is totally unacceptable that bureucrats, greedy and deluded individuals who are absolutely blinded by non sensical, non holistic ideology and delusions. We must have freedom of choice. It is our body, our mind, our earth - look at the state of the physical health of most of these people making these decisions! Needless to say, their stale, flabby bodies and narcissisitc personal health behaviours represents their ability to think properly.
Any help with contact email addresses would be appreciated.
All the best everyone.
Hi Dominic, thanks for your comment. Probably the key people in the European Commission to contact on these issues are as follows:
• President Jose Manuel Barroso: http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/president/contact/mail/index_en...
• Commissioner John Dalli: email@example.com
• Paola Testori Coggi, Director General of the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers of the European Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_consumer/dyna/mailbox/index_en.cfm; or you could try this email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
The full list of Commissioners can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/ – we can't say how many are likely to respond to a letter along the lines you suggest, however. Maybe pick the ones that look honest to you!
In the UK, the best people to write to would be:
• Prime Minister David Cameron: https://email.number10.gov.uk/
• Ministers at the Department of Health – Andrew Lansley MP, Anne Milton MP and Simon Burns MP: http://www.dh.gov.uk/health/about-us/people/ministers/
We hope this helps – and let us know how you get on!
Thank you for getting this important information into the public domain, i will pass it on to my friends and get in touch with my MEP. Regards J J Murphy
If we let this happen it would be yet another freedom of choice taken away from us, l for one and speaking as a former nurse, would much prefer to try natural remedies first before jumping head long into taking synthetic drugs, all of which have varing degrees of side effects, therefore l am fighting for me to be able to have freedom of choice.
It is time to stop the big companies from destroying our health only to earn money. The freedom of speech is our human right and cannot be taken away from us.
This law claims it is to protect people, but the only purpose is to protect the big companies from competition from companies working with real healing.

W Boyes & Co buys former Woolworths unit in Coalville
Posted: April 01, 2014|
A retail chain has continued its UK expansion with a new Leicestershire store.
Scarborough-based discount chain W Boyes & Co has bought the former Woolworths unit in Belvoir Road, Coalville.
It is one of two new stores in the Midlands, the other being in Nottingham.
The company has also renewed a lease for its store in Wilton Road, Melton.
The chain was supported in each of the deals by Langleys solicitors.
The York and Lincoln-based law firm previously advised Boyes on store openings across the East Midlands.
The latest acquisitions take the total number of outlets in the chain to 50, spanning Yorkshire, the North East, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
Managing director Andrew Boyes said: "We're committed to increasing our presence across the North and Midlands and these latest store openings and lease renewals are a testament to that.
"The team at Langleys have supported us in each of these deals."
W Boyes & Co Ltd was launched in 1881 when William Boyes opened a small store in Scarborough selling odd lots and remnants from merchants.
The business soon moved into larger premises and opened stores in York and Hull in the early 1900s.
Tim Cross, head of commercial property at Langleys, said: "We're proud to work alongside such a burgeoning Yorkshire company, as it expands its offering to other parts of the UK.
"We have established an excellent relationship with the team at Boyes over the course of their ongoing expansion, and we're looking forward to it continuing in the future."
The Woolworths store in Coalville closed in December 2008, along with stores in Melton, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Ashby and Hinckley.
The county stores were among hundreds of branches which closed throughout the country following the firm's collapse.
Some 27,000 workers, including about 200 people in Leicestershire, were made redundant.

I can picture the five or so people I'd like to sit around a small table at a town's salty bar and read Andrew Zawacki's 30-page Georgia with, from Petals of Zero Petals of One. Bring the soft-voiced loud-breather. The thumb-rubber-by-the-knees. The carpet-bomber even. Each to read a page and pass it, praising ourselves in our diverse and appropriate reading styles, listening with open mouths at the right times or with wiping the beer circles off the table while nodding at the right times. Maybe there's a poetry bully in the corner with his loud knowledge of something forgotten.
True, this is no tomato juice and beer poem. This is locomotion. I think it is good to set poems of such downhill leaning to the tracks of everywhere.
So when the quiet person beside me reads and I find my responsiveness waning, I know to snap to and get ready to really read.
If poets invent duty for themselves, fine; but at least let's soar at our inventions. I hope to gather this actual (similar) scenario sometime soon. I hope to read first because I want to read these page-one lines: "snow is not like the snow Georgia/ one is theorem the other will thaw". But here, have more:
I don't sleep Georgia
I shoot bullets into the dark
the blunt mimeographic dark
the middle dark Georgia
outside the outside
whatever a ghost's front tooth is Georgia
let alone ballistics
whatever pulls back the hammer Georgia
coughing up sulfur and strobes of negate
I wait Georgia
think Georgia
the fire is like the snow Georgia
the snow wipes out a oneway street puts nothing in its place
snow is not like the snow Georgia
one is theorem the other will thaw
night is the neighbor girl
she hangs her laundry
she sits on the step
the leaves on the tree in her yard are like florins
her sliding door dress in a squall Georgia
her flowers what is a flower Georgia
When I read the poem on flight one from Hartford to Cincinnati I was proud to let Georgia let itself be. Every answer to "How much attention should I pay to"?" is always a product of the same conjure. I tend to assume (err?) that repetitions are generative for the writer, optional for the reader.
I'm now at a layover for three hours and I am meditating on place–"The Spirit of Pigcinnati"–of course.
It's not the South here. It's early fall. The book is in my bag, and I've misplaced the Georgia of the poem already. Nothing makes me feel that's good or bad. In long poems with a repetitious stitch, we chose our degree of permissibility early. Hasn't the first page already spurred you to decide what Georgia will have to be in order for you to"? Me, I am not so worried about Georgia, so long as it keeps giving me that sweet end of line sip of itself, and it does. I am more interested in the accumulating, the sliding the eyes around any three lines at a time, not the accumulation.
I'm wondering toward something else now, as I sometimes wondered toward something else during Georgia. The keeping up feeling in reading long poems is a measure of momentum much more than meaning. In fact, isn't it only 'keeping up' if you are first trying for something that's not in the text? We read with hyper-acuity when we are conscious of any acuity at all; is it necessary? These are the long poem issues I suspect more reflection toward.
I wish I weren't eating Sbarro. Ah, that's why I wish for salty bar: layover wishes, leading to wishing all the wishes.
Facebook list: 10 minutes, 10 favorite long poems: Go!
Song of Myself
Oppen's Of Being Numerous
Hart Crane's Voyages
"The Sermon" chapter IX in Moby Dick ??? Melville
Sky Scrapers ??? Geraldine Monk
Red-Haired Boy ??? Merrill Gilfillan
Fool — Zach Savich
Kenneth Koch's The Circus (Thank You and Other Poems) and The Circus (The Art of Love) (I know I know. I can do better with Koch.)
Jack Spicer ??? Christ, anything really
Dear David,
Please define favorite long poems.
Thank you,
Eager Reader
Why sure. I suppose I mean the poems you'd line up for the first ten months of a Long Poem of the Month club you are about to launch at the salty bar in town. I guess it's got to be long enough for you to imagine reading it in turns with five other people while trying to prevent any of that fracas about length defining most groups would love to belabor. I think Fool is the shortest on this list.
The good poet Ben Estes is launching a press–The Song Cave–of long poem books: excitement for his project is entirely why I am writing this.
Ok. Got to run. I can't wait to spend my next six hours in the air with the regret that I volunteered a top ten list. I will also see–the other book I brought being his selected poems–if I mean Gilfillan's poem Solstice more than Red-Haired Boy.

SeaGen, a commercial-scale tidal turbine off the coast of Northern Ireland, is generating more power than originally expected, said Marine Current Turbines, SeaGen's owner.
Peter Fraenkel, technical director and co-founder of the company, said SeaGen already has delivered more than 350 MWh of power to the regional grid in Northern Ireland since it began generating power in early 2009.
"We are getting more energy than expected mainly because the resource is more energetic than originally predicted during earlier surveys," Fraenkel said.
The turbine is driven by a wall of water about 27 meters deep, similar to the height of the Tower of London, at speeds of up to 10 miles per hour, Fraenkel said during the Lisbon International Ocean Power Conference.
The 1.2-MW turbine is equipped with twin 16 m-diameter rotors and is officially accredited by OFGEM, the United Kingdom's energy regulator. The SeaGen system is the first marine energy project to receive renewable energy funding from the UK. (HydroWorld 7/24/09)
