JUDGE JANE...

The immediate increase in our energy bills following the announcement by one political leader that a vote for his party will mean fixed costs being applied by law if elected momentarily provided a glimpse behind the scenes of the relationships between big business and elected members of parliament. It also revealed how low some are prepared to stoop to secure power.

The general public has been relentlessly victimised by the energy industry from the moment it was sold into private ownership.

There has been no measurable benefit passed on to us from the sale of our publicly owned assets – most of which are now in the hands of overseas interests.

Representations we would achieve greater choice and continued low prices as a consequence of greater competition can clearly be seen to be false.

Legally binding agreements relating to targets for the pursuit of renewable energy resources are currently under close scrutiny from those with an ideological and/or economic interest in slowing progress.

Budgets are being analysed and propaganda prepared in an attempt to find

ways of increasing profits for interested parties and reducing the scope and/or impact of their legal responsibility to reduce carbon emissions. In the meantime the planet we rely on for our continued existence is ruthlessly exploited in the pursuit of profit by a few, powerful corporations with the collusion of politicians. Those opposing it such as the Greenpeace activists recently arrested by the Putin government in Russia are being relentlessly targeted and criminalised in a variety of ways.

The information emerging from various sources is we have no idea what the actual cost of oil and gas is at the point of purchase.

Evidently it is not sufficiently large to reduce the numbers of private investor groups pursuing a place in the industry. If we look at the profits capable of being generated it is clear what motivates their interest. These figures do not include the financial information relating to all the other “bites of the cherry” achieved by distributors or energy brokers before it eventually gets to the public. The network is now so complex and multi layered that much is duplicated at great cost to the end user so, is it any

JJane

wonder the consumer is now paying so much for it as a percentage of our income?

As winter approaches many on low, fixed incomes must be considering their shrinking options for keeping warm this year. News that the severe weather we experienced last winter hastened the deaths of those most vulnerable to energy price rises accompanies the details of how large that group is becoming. It makes for uncomfortable reading.

It is a shameful thing that so many cannot afford to live a full, comfortable life because a few are so concentrated on how they can exploit the lack of adequate protection afforded by our elected representative.

If you have a story to tell about how your life is being impacted by the cuts, corporate greed and/or mismanagement of public/ private services you can email me with them at jjjustmyopinion@gmail.com

It’s just my opinion!

Becky’s Movie Previews Now we’re getting towards the end of the year, we will start to see some contenders for the Oscars. There are some great films to see at the cinema this month so let’s take a look. So we’ve reached the end of the year, it’s gone by so fast! There’s been some fantastic films released this year and there’s still a month left to go. So take a look and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Coming Soon…

Frozen

What better way to end the year than with a Disney movie. We find ourselves in the kingdom of Arendelle where there are two princesses, Elsa ( ) and Anna ( ). Elsa is set to become Queen and also possesses the power to create snow and ice.

She has been suppressing these powers ever since a traumatic event years before involving her sister.

Then during her July coronation to be Queen she lets her powers get out of control which triggers an eternal winter that freezes the entire kingdom.

It’s now up to Anna to find Elsa, who’s gone into hiding, to save Arendelle from being frozen forever.

Anna also has the help of a rugged mountain man, Kristoff ( ), his reindeer sidekick Sven and a comical snowman called Olaf ( ). They must encounter mystical rolls, Everest-like extremes and magic around every corner in a race to find Elsa and save the kingdom before it’s too late.

Homefront Starring British action star Jason Statham comes a crime-thriller which has been adapted from a novel of the same name by Sylvester Stallone, who has been Oscar nominated for his screenplays ( ). The film also stars James Franco ( ), Winona Ryder ( ) and Kate Bosworth ( ).

Statham plays Phil Broker, a former drug enforcement agent who moves off the grid with his daughter to a seemingly quiet backwater country town to escape his troubled past. As anyone would expect,

things soon change and Broker’s world is turned upside down when he discovers an underbelly of drugs and violence. Soon enough there’s a sociopathic kingpin, Gator Bodine ) who puts Broker and his ( daughter in harm’s way that forces him back into his old life to save his family and the small town.

The Christmas Candle And now comes a film that will definitely bring the festive spirit this year. Set in 1890 in the fictitious town of Gladbury, there is a legend about a special Christmas candle and that every 25 years an angel visits the candle maker and bestows a miracle on one candle and whoever lights it has their miracle come true on Christmas Eve. However, shortly after the arrival of the new pastor, David Richmond, it goes missing. With the villagers all looking to him to find them a new miracle, he try's to bring them all into the electric age with not much success. Even though he struggles he does find an ally in the form of feisty villager Emily Barstow ( ). With a mix of traditions and progression coming

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Coming from the 2004 smash hit, this needs no introduction. We have Adam McKay returning as director as well as Judd Apatow ( ) as producer.

The sequel is also written by Apatow and Will Ferrell who also stars again.

After the 1970's brought prosperity to the Channel 4 news team, the group disbands and hits rock bottom until a 24 hour news channel is being put together and the group is recruited to join, and they take the channel by storm.

With the usual antics from this crowd, dubbed the Frat pack, there are sure to be plenty of laughs.

As well as Ferrell, also returning are Christina Applegate, Paul

Bolsover 1st

Rudd and Steve Carell.

There is a stigma here that all sequels are inferior to their originals. There will always be some truth in this as sequels can never be based on original concepts. Although there have been exceptions to this rule as well as others that have met their originals standard. It will be up to whoever watches it as to whether this will be one of them but with the demand and anticipation that there has been for this, I doubt it will fail to bring in the audiences.

Dec/Jan 2013/14

together there is sure to be some surprises around the corner. It may not break any new ground as far as Christmas films go but it should be enjoyable all the same.

Also starring Hans Matheson ( ), Samantha Barks ( and Lesley Manville ( ).

THE

FIRM DOES LUNCH

Spotlight On Quad Computer Services Ltd… Having a reliable, robust IT system is a fundamental part of most organisations’ day-to-day workflow . Quad Computer Services Ltd work closely with their clients to ensure problems are avoided by monitoring and advising as systems evolve.

They speak a language that everyone can understand, translating fluently from technical jargon to plain English. This enables everyone to make good decisions based on a proper understanding of all the information. Quad’s flexibility also allows their clients to be flexible as requirements change. As we all know , the only thing guaranteed in business is change.

Quad are also happy to liaise with other third parties to ensure that IT needs are met, where in-house expertise may be lacking or require further support and experience.

What happens if things go wrong? IT infrastructure is essential to most businesses, so you need to make sure you have the correct practices and safeguards in place should part of that infrastructure fail. Y ou need the hardware and software which will provide the best resilience for your requirements.

Quad can provide a solution that best fits your organisation and your budget. Using the latest technology , they are able to monitor your system remotely and often fix problems without having to perform a site visit. We can also perform preventative maintenance so that everything continues to run smoothly and reduces the risk of failure. Having a support contract in place will ensure peace of mind knowing that your problem will be evaluated and reviewed within an agreed timescale.

Call Ian or Adam on 0114 2013950 Or visit www.quad.co.uk

What would happen if your PC or server stopped working? Are all your important documents backed-up? Are you 100% sure they can be recovered from the last backup you took? When did you last test it? How quickly do you need to be up and running? Can you get PCs, servers and your network up and running within a timescale that fits your business? Too often, action is only taken after a failure of a piece of hardware. By then, it is too late. No suitable backup strategy is in place and no contingency for hardware has been considered. Quad are frequently called to businesses that have lost months of work (and sometimes everything) because their plan was implemented but never tested. Check what you have in place today, as tomorrow you might need to implement it. A common oversight is that organisations do not have backups off site. Whilst the office building smoulders, and the fire brigade tell you it will be a week until you can safely get to your fire safe, you’ll wish you had a backup tape stored safely at a company like Quad.

Adam

Quad, understand that different organisations have different requirements when it comes to support. Quad have years of experience and many sites installed, so we can tailor a solution to suit you.

‘You ain’t heard nothing yet’ Michelle Cooper, partner and head of Graysons WE’s divorce and family department says “Maybe these figures are just a drop in the ocean for these celebrities, but for the rest of us, our pre-marital assets might be more precious to us and prenuptial agreements – which are on the increase at the moment – are a very popular way of protecting them. Whilst not legally binding in UK at present, prenups are usually accepted by the courts as proof of a couple’s intensions should they divorce. In fact the Law Commission looks set to give prenups the green light following a recent landmark case, Radmacher v Granatino, in which the UK Supreme Court accepted a prenup as evidence of their intentions – even though they weren’t married in UK and the prenup was written in Germany.”

Al Jolson’s famous words at the beginning of the first feature length talking movie, The Jazz Singer, of course.

But just wait until you hear about some of the huge figures that have been paid out by divorcing celebrities who chose not to plump for the safety of a prenuptial agreement.

Most recently, according to The Sunday Times’ Rich List, Dragon’s Den star Duncan Ballatyne’s fortune plummeted from £430 million to £85 million following his divorce without a prenup; Heather Mills won £24 million from Paul McCartney after a mere 4 year marriage;

So, when ‘I do’ turns into ‘I don’t’, prenups offer an open and honest route to sorting out financial issues without turning an already difficult time into a nightmare.

Beth from K9 - Spotlight on a flourishing local business Panthers’ NewCutsGround…

I have always been keenly interested in dogs and my passion started from an early age.

During my GCSE and A’ Levels I worked part time in kennels and gained experience in most aspects of animal care. In 1999 I started dog grooming, the same year that I became a schnauzer enthusiast. My first schnauzer, Ch Ruanco Regina Rex, AKA ‘Pepper Pot’ came into the family and I was bitten by the bug that slowly infected me, influencing my life and career.

Pepper became my first show dog. Showing dogs has helped me to understand breeds and there individual grooming specifications.

K9 cuts and its staff can offer not just a grooming service but as a customer you are secure in the knowledge that your dog is getting the best care possible & groomed to the highest standards. We work with dogs and their owners to get the best out of our service, spotting any possible health and behaviour problems, as they present themselves.

Having your dog groomed is not always about a spruce up and smelling a little sweeter, for some breeds it is a necessity to stay clean, tidy and hygienic, to help in the affordability of regular visits to the groomers, we offer all our regular customers a discount scheme. Please ask if you qualify for the scheme and its terms and conditions.

To help introduce puppies to the

grooming experience we offer all Puppies under six months their FIRST puppy groom free! We highly recommend that as soon as your puppy has had its full vaccinations and can go into the big wide world you book him in for his first groom. We try and make every grooming experience fun and friendly, starting young helps imprint an enjoyable experience.

Our staff hold qualifications in: NVQ level 2 Dog Grooming, NVQ Level 2 & 3 Animal Care and A1 Assessors qualification and we cater for the majority of breeds, shapes and sizes.

25/09/2013 by Bearsmount - Beth and her team run second to none. Top groomers for those who want the best! Highly skilled, patient, knowledgeable and always offering sound advice to the discerning owner whether for the top end of the show ring or for the pet owner.

Whichever, you require the best, well here it is!

Travelling from the Channel Islands, the distance travelled reflects the great service and the super trim for my dog given at K9 cuts. I can only highly recommend the K9 cuts team to anyone seeking the cutting edge of grooming for their dog. Thank you to you all.

11/09/2013 by TrishPem10 - I have been taking my dogs to K9 cuts for 5yrs, my dogs are groomed to a very high standard and smell gorgeous when I collect them. I know my dogs are well cared for when I leave them and I wouldn't consider trusting my dogs with any other groomer 05/09/2013 by glamgoth17 - I have taken all my dogs to K9 cuts for many years now, and have always been extremely happy with the service received. Beth and her team have groomed my ling haired collie, my working springer spaniel (with the correct working cut for his breed and job) as well as bathing and pampering my Rottweiler. Beth is extremely knowledgeable about all breeds of dog, and is always happy to give the benefit of her qualified and experienced opinion. The team at K9 are all friendly, caring and dedicated, and all trained to a high standard. I would recommend K9Cuts Professional grooming services to anyone who cares for the happiness and wellbeing of their dog 05/09/2013 by StarGazerr - I have a siberian husky that I show and have to get her bathed a day or so before the show. K9 always do an excellent job of making sure they get all her dead undercoat out and she always comes

out smelling beautiful. My dog always pulls me to the shop with excitement to get in for her pamper!

Would highly recommend to anyone!

05/09/2013 by jparker123 - I have been having my Schnauzers groomed at K9 for years and have always been extremely satisfied with the level of service.I show my schnauzers so they have to be groomed to a very high standard.

Staff are friendly and very good with my dogs.

The dogs are always happy to walk in and enjoy their stay. The salon is open so you can look in and see the grooming process. I Highly recommend this grooming salon.

05/09/2013

by TheDarkFenix - I have been using K9 cuts in Shirebrook for many year, they groom my dog Lillie to such a high standard every time.

Not only that they really care for the animals that they groom. I know when I leave Lillie she will be looked after and loved even though she is my dog and not theirs. Cant recommend them enough A+++++++++ Service!!!

05/09/2013 by AngieW2 - I took my puppy for the 1st time on Tuesday & I thought the service was professional & friendly I will be going back & I have recommended them to friends. The actual grooming tables are in full view & not hidden behind walls so you can see everything that is happening to your pet

Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards 2013 Chesterfield’s very best food and drink establishments and producers were honoured at glittering awards ceremony hosted by TV chef and presenter Ainsley Harriott on Wednesday 30th October.

10 business and individuals across 11 categories were named as Chesterfield’s finest at the sell-out awards ceremony held at Chesterfield College’s Heart Space Building.

Awards host Ainsley Harriott said: “It was amazing to see the passion felt by everyone in the room about the Food and Drink Awards. The evening brought the hospitality community together. The awards have also created a new standard in food which is very exciting.”

He also added: “It’s inspiring to hear that Chesterfield College is training the next generation of chefs.”

On the night Calabria restaurant took three of the titles including the prestigious Chef of the Year award which went to Nicholas McNerney.

Calabria owner Vic Risorto said “We’re delighted with the wins, made all the more special for being at Chesterfield’s first ever Food and Drink Awards. The wins represent everything that Calabria prides itself on – great customer service, good food and atmosphere. We enjoy customer service and want to make people happy. It’s the ethos of the restaurant and the entire team. It’s as simple as that.”

The Town’s first ever Food and Drink Awards were organised by Destination Chesterfield in association with Chesterfield College. More than 50 nominations were received across 11 categories and only 16 businesses and six individuals shortlisted for the awards.

Amongst the award winners was W. Ayres, who was named as the Chesterfield Food Hero, an award recognising their impact on the area’s food and drink scene. W. Ayres has been a familiar face on Chesterfield’s market since 1937 but has been trading in Chesterfield for 100 years. Owner Charles Ferne, his wife and son – who all work on the market stall – accepted the award on the night.

Winner of the Young Chef of the Year Award, Ryan Lee - from the Red Lion at the Peak Edge Hotel – commented “I started from the bottom as an apprentice,

cooking is all I’ve ever wanted to do. It’s great to be part of the awards.”
