It means Friday in Greek. My mother in law is Pariskevi. DH is Greek. :)by DanielleCNYC
Agreed. Very masculine name of Greek origins. It says the origin is Greek and the meaning is 'From Paris, France'. That doesn't make any sense at all. Love it because of the male character Paris in Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. It's always been a boys' name. Other than that, I was surprised I didn't think of Paris Hilton when I considered this name. It was always a boys' name before she became famous ugh. It's such a horrible name on girls, Ms. Hilton pretty much ruined it, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.by vikkistar
The meaning could not be from the city Paris, France and be a Greek name. It is from The Illiad by Homer the Greek poet. The actual meaning would be interesting to know. I like the character Paris, so I like the name. It is a romantic, masculine, strong sounding name.by spopish6

We're not sure how comfortable it will be to sit on the Twist's saddle, which pivots on the same arm as the handlebars, or how easily the bike will come to a stop with the hubless wheels, but the philosophy behind tandem biking is really exciting for green-minded folks like us. Really, biking alone is awesome for us and the planet, but biking for two is even better.
With easily disassembled parts that also speak to the Hurtado's penchant for minimalism, the bike is quickly attached to another frame. If it were possible to have a long line of Twist bikes, that would make this design even more superhuman, but alas, it is restricted to two frames.

I don't want to rain on anyones parade….but this bike is near unfeasible unless as a track bike.
Given that road debirs would get caught in the mechanism where drive meets rim, this instantly becomes a problem.
Worse still as a tandem any pedaling out of sync between the two riders will cause flexing forces and break the juncture point.
Nice idea in a virtual world…otherwise nonsense.

PTC stormwater fees may double as program grows
Wants $7.5M for new projects and $358K for new employees
Peachtree City's newest bureaucracy is growing, and city property owners are going to pay for it, maybe up to double what they are paying now each year.
The City Council Thursday night will consider a resolution announcing the intent to finance up to $7.5 million in capital stormwater projects. While the resolution is not binding and council can decide to avoid issuing the debt entirely, if the financing route is chosen it is a given that stormwater bills will increase by some amount.
City officials have said it's too early to tell what type of rate increase would be necessary, as the city will have to determine what services and projects it will tackle with the new funding.
In May, city staff presented a proposal to council that would double the annual stormwater fees, which for residential property owners would mean a bump up to between $63 and $142 a year depending on the size of impervious area on their parcel. The current range of residential bills is between $32 and $72.
The stormwater fee is also assessed on businesses, schools and even churches to help fund infrastructure repair, improvements and maintenance of the city's stormwater collection system.
In the May proposal, Public Works Director Mark Caspar suggested adding several employees to increase the level of stormwater pipe maintenance. Currently when a stormwater pipe is replaced, Caspar has to take his crew off maintenance projects to replace the pipe.
The new hires would cost the city about $358,246 a year, according to Caspar's projections.
As for the new capital projects, those under consideration include rehabilitation of the Rockspray Pond, the Kedron ponds, the Harbor Loop drainage system and the Golfview Drive drainage system. Other projects in the mix include repairs to the BCS Pond, pipe lining in the area of Woodsdale and Lenox Road and also other pipe lining projects throughout the city.
The city is close to depleting its stormwater funds from revenue bonds that were issued in 2006, officials said.
This was a "suspicious" tax when it started... How come PTC is the ONLY CITY in Fayette County (to my limited knowledge), to have this TAX???
If this is what we can expect... A new kingdom with new workers and new benefits and pensions... STOP THE TAX and DRAIN THESE PONDS... NOT worth it.
Just my humble opinion as a tax payer.
Don't you just love it!
"PTC Stormwater Utility" ??? Who invented this mess ? More fees for accountants, engineers and lawyers, none of who have competitive bids and then supervisors, managers, project service coordinators, liasons for them, consultants for them---- what an absolute joke.
Can't wait to see what Marta Learnard has next for us --- PTC Mass Transit Authority ??? No wait--- she'll have a health care initiative.
Wow, is this country in trouble.
This isn't something that was dreamed up by local gov't. Feds decided that every municipality is responsible for storm water and hence we have storm water authorities created now to deal with it and extra taxation and regulations.
The problem is with the Feebs' mandate, not our local politicians, at least on this issue.
Passed by the Senate & House in 1972, vetoed by President Nixon but veto was overridden by Senate & House, allowing it to become law. Locally, Dennis Chase can give you chapter & verse on the law.
So just who is the driving force behind enforcement of the stormwater pieces of this legislation? I don't remember hearing anything about stormwater until 3 or 4 yrs ago.
At Home Gym, I'm not a Golf Cart City resident/taxpayer, so threat this comment as such,,,
5 years ago a $300k House was worth $400k\
5 years ago Waste Water was just something to be dealt with.
5 years ago Collecting taxes didn't require "action"
Because of 20 years of "let it ride" Politics (neither party is innocent, BOTH are equally guilty) Money is not only tight for US but now it's hurting local government, and God knows Government WILL NOT do without...
Unconstitutional LAWS have consequences, sadly it may take a 1/2 of a generation to see these consequences...
Unconstitutional Laws locally have an even MORE devastating effect... you and I just got (as have our fellow Americans) a Failure to Follow the Constitution lesson 101.
So it's up to US to either return to THE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY document of all time, or Vote for Obama and HONESTLY give his idea a try...
(This SAME EXACT CHOICE is presented to Fayette County Citizens, it's either the INDIVIDUAL or it's GOVERNMENT , the CHOICE is really THAT SIMPLE.....
I Choose Freedom. Liberty and very little Government,,,(in case there was any doubt)
nice words but they don't answer my question of who is the driving force behind enforcement of this specific legislation. I live in unincorporated FC and don't see stormwater as an issue because there is no stream of any sort adjacent to my property--but still, why has this become an issue now--from my perspective, both City & County have been aggressive in collecting those taxes legally assessed to citizens before now but why this sudden issue with stormwater? Wanna read something interesting? Go the the Citizen "search" feature and enter Chase & Stormwater.
Why NOW? OMG is that a simple answer, FEAR, haven't you heard the World is coming to an end !
If Obama gets re-elected ...game over
If Romney gets elected ,,,,,Game over
Fayette County Government NEEDS to act,, the World is ending !
if if if if if this aint done NOW,,,,,,
OMG the world is ending WE HAVE TO ACT !!!
Government is SCARED! people like you are staring to "connect a few dots"
Government is threatened, the surfs are hurting,, and may get riled up....
Government JUST figured out the "end of the World" is harder to promote because the Slaves have INFORMATION at their fingertips ....
And I can give you THE Constitutional Law that PREVENTS this legislation ...from the Feds
Article 1 Section 8
Article 2 ALL Sections
Article 4 ALL sections
Amendment 10
But then it's MORE than obvious Americans DO NOT want Constitutional Restraints on their government, They WANT Centralized Control, it's just they get upset when THEIR brand of control is not in power ...
Yes indeed, more and more and more mandates being handed down from the bureaucrats in Washington to let the "local" governments try and deal with the costs. Which of course means us. The EPA is just one branch that costs us money, then there's their boutique gas requirements under the Clean Air Act.
However, nothing compares to the pain we will feel under Obamacare.

Seanad Éireann - Volume 98 - 19 May, 1982
Irish Shipping Limited Bill, 1982 [ Certified Money Bill ]: Second Stage (Resumed).
Question again proposed: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Professor Murphy Professor Murphy
Professor Murphy: I am glad that other Senators, notably Senator Dooge and Senator O'Mahony, have sought some elucidation on matters arising from this Bill because I found the text of the Bill very difficult to comprehend. Given the late date at which the text became available and the lack of an explanatory memorandum, that difficulty was compounded, though I must say that from what I have seen of explanatory memoranda they are frequently rather meaningless documents.
I share some of the doubts about the shipping arrangments which have been [102] expressed by previous Senators. I understand that the need for the Bill is because there is need for legislation to authorise this kind of arrangement but I have difficulty in comprehending why it is necessary to change from the relatively straightforward earlier arrangements to the ones now being contemplated.
A point which is pertinent to raise is whether the people in Irish Shipping are satisfied with the new arrangements. That is rather important. One cannot but agree with the general proposition that the bulk carrier should be built in Verolme for Irish Shipping Limited. Any Corkman who disagreed with placing a contract with Verolme would not be very happy at the prospect of returning home. At the same time I must say, speaking as an absolute layman in these matters, I am mystified as to why the cost of building a bulk carrier should be so extravagantly greater in Verolme than would have been the case had Irish Shipping placed their contract on the open market.
I support what other Senators have said about Irish Shipping and their successes. Too often in this House we have to deplore the losses sustained by State companies. I remember particularly one painful occasion during the last Fianna Fáil administration when the Minister had to come before this House and outline the appalling losses sustained by one such company. It is good to listen to a success story and to reflect that the whole Irish Shipping success saga has been born out of our own experience as a State. It is very much a domestic achievement and an Irish achievement that we can be proud of. It may not be entirely inappropriate to recall that Irish Shipping were born out of our neutrality during World War II and of the very real struggle we had to keep everything ticking over while that policy was being successfully maintained and directed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Irish Shipping were born of Winston Churchill's pugnacious antagonism to this country. At any rate it was, and remains, the application of the whole principle of self-reliance to an important area of the economy. It is applying sinn féin to the area of maritime commerce.
[103] It is one of the things we did our way and did it well. The achievement has been all the more admirable in view of the fact that the maritime economy was not only an underdeveloped area for a maritime nation but an exploited area by the previous imperial Government. There is no doubt that one of the reasons we are backward in the whole area of maritime development is a colonial hangup and so the achievement is all the greater. One can only wish that other features of our economic personality were as successful.
One important thing to stress is the principle that State enterprise can be a success, that men and women working for the State can work with commitment. The opposite is often stated. People think that James Connolly was very naive when he said that in a future socialist Ireland men and women would derive the same satisfaction from working for the public good as they would for a private employer. People are still very cynical about that point of view but surely the essence of the success of Irish Shipping is the dedication of the men and women employed in the public service.
Senator Crowley, while praising Irish Shipping, seemed by implication to say that other companies were unsuccessful because they did not pay the same attention to enterprise and the good management of their resources. I do not think it is as simple as that. It may well be that Irish Shipping have been particularly fortunate with the kind of people they have employed and the policies they pursue, but the fact that one State company are successful does not mean that application of the same principles or managment techniques would make other State companies successful.
CIE have been mentioned in the Minister's speech. We must remind ourselves that here are a company who have an entirely different function from Irish Shipping which arguably can never be commercially successful and it is the State's business to understand that. The State should be as loyal and sympathetic to State companies which provide a social service as it is proud of companies like Irish Shipping which make a profit. I [104] welcome the Bill but I share Senator Dooge's idea that we should separate the economic and social factors involved. I ask the Minister to clarify why it was considered necessary to change from one procedure to another.
Mr. Cregan Mr. Cregan
Mr. Cregan: I compliment the Minister on his speedy work as regards this move for Irish Shipping. It is very encouraging to see that Irish Shipping are involved in other businesses as well as shipping. It is encouraging to see that we are prepared to get involved in other areas, for instance, in the purchase and sale of ships and the extension of ships.
As a Senator from Cork, I am very glad to see that the Minister is encouraging Irish Shipping to buy within the State. The impression has been given that subsidies are only given in Ireland. That is not fair or true. The fact is that in Japan this year alone £350 million has been allocated directly to the shipyards and indirectly subsidies are being given to the steelyards. It is quite obvious that all areas of shipping at this time are losing money and it is not just happening in our country. Speaking of steel, what a pity that we have to go elsewhere to get steel to build our ships when we have it in our own country. Perhaps in the future with the new plant which is in Cork, this might not be the situation. British shipyards are also getting subsidies directly. This year they received £52 million. We shout about whether or not it should be given to Verolme.
As regards Irish Shipping, one of their first bulk ships was built in Verolme. It did Irish Shipping good and I fail to understand why we should ask why it is going into Verolme and why it should not be given to other countries. These are facts. It is only right and proper that it should be said.
The people who are working in Verolme must be protected. Irish joiners in the Verolme dockyard are half-idle. I compliment the Minister for creating a situation where naval boats are now being built and are ready to be put on stream. I hope that will not be held up. It is very encouraging to see this.
I should like to make one or two other [105] points. The planning of Verolme dockyard cannot be condemned, because it is to be complimented for the type of ship that is built there. Other countries throughout the western world have complimented them. As regards price, we will always be asking where State money is going and, as a Cork Senator, I have no objection to the fact that the Minister is prepared to let it go to Cork.
Mr. Lennon Mr. Lennon
Mr. Lennon: Coming from the other end of the country and having to share an office with Senator Cregan I should not like to oppose anything for Cork. I have to live happy with this man. Senator Dooge probably said everything that could be said about this. People all over the country admire the wonderful job that Irish Shipping have done. If we have any doubts about the Bill they are about the funding arrangement. We all welcome the Bill. There is a great need to give whatever help we can to Irish Shipping Limited. Their new involvement has proved that they are well worthy of whatever support they get. It is stated that by 1984 business will have increased from £18 million to £29 million. That is a very big increase. For that reason, all of us should compliment them on the excellent job they are doing. Perhaps in the near future we will hear about the funding arrangement and that is what most of us are unclear about. If we were clear about it perhaps we would not rise to speak at all. We hope that in due course we will be made aware of the way this money will be funded.
Mr. B. Ryan Mr. B. Ryan
Mr. B. Ryan: It is my first opportunity to welcome the Minister to the Seanad, and I do so happily. Unfortunately, I have a habit of forgetting that particular pleasant formality. It may be because of my belligerent nature but I have a habit of doing that and I apologise.
There are a few things in this Bill that fascinate me. First of all there is the obvious fact that Irish Shipping is a successful commercial organisation in an extremely competitive environment. At a time of over-capacity in international shipping, Irish Shipping has managed, and is continuing to manage, to run a [106] commercial organisation independent of any direct or indirect State subsidy. We should remember that there are two kinds of State subsidies to industry. There are the direct ones that are measured and there are those given in the form of tax exemptions, tax reliefs, and tax supports where people, instead of getting a handout from the State, which is obviously unacceptable to a lot of people, get a handout by being allowed to pay far less than what might otherwise be their fair share of taxation. As far as I know, Irish Shipping get neither.
A prominent backbench member of the Minister's party went on record at a youth conference recently as saying that all our semi-State companies are insolvent. That was Deputy Séamus Brennan. If he wants a list we can give it to him. They are not all insolvent, and many of the ones that have commercial difficulties are doing a lot better than many of their counterparts in the private sector. Aer Lingus has been rated as one of the most efficient airlines in western Europe.
It is important that public representatives should record vigorously and strongly that there are many successful semi-State companies in operation and that some of the ones that are less successful are often less successful because of political impediments that are put in the way of their commercial operation and not because of any inefficiency on their part. I instance Bord na Móna, who are asked to supply energy at a price which may well, for justifiable social reasons, be below the world energy price. They have to pay for their raw energy at the world market price. They are accused of being insolvent but they are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, possibly rightly so. However, they should not be accused of being insolvent; but we could go on about this forever.
In his speech the Minister said the bankers required guarantees. One could elaborate at great length about who actually dictates public policy, whether it is the State through Government Departments and Government Ministers or the bankers who require guarantees. I remember when we had a telecommunications Bill here which was meant to offer [107] opportunities to the private sector to invest in the telecommunications industry, we also had guarantees required from the State.
I find it fascinating that in two areas such as these which are commercial, which are seen to be efficient and which are potentially extremely productive, bankers require guarantees which would be far in excess of what they would expect from a company operating in the private sector. I thought that banking was about the skillful analysis of opportunity, the skillful analysis of the money market and a highly competitive use of the funds of people who lodge their money with the banks, and not about safe, guaranteed investment in public companies where if anything goes wrong their investment is copperfastened. I do not understand why banks who are investing in a commercial enterprise which has a proven record of handling its own investments should insist, in addition, on a State guarantee. It is, at the very least, a disincentive to the banking institution to invest in real private sector growth industries if they have these doubled up guarantees to invest in the public sector. I suspect that Irish Shipping could raise their funds without these guarantees, and I often think that maybe we should tell the banks that if they are in the commercial business and giving lectures to everybody else about the importance and the role of private enterprise and of enterprise in risk-taking, then perhaps they should take a few more risks themselves, preferably in more productive areas than property speculation in Dublin's inner city.
Can somebody explain to me, will the distinction about leasing provide yet another tax outlet for some banking institution? Will we have a banking group investing money which is guaranteed by the State in a semi-State company in such a fashion that they will be able to guarantee for themselves that they will have to pay no tax to the State from the guaranteed return they have on their guaranteed investment? That is what I would call a fairly clever use of funds. Is there, [108] therefore, a tax benefit to the banks who are involved in this lending because of the fact that this is now a leasing arrangement as distinct from a lending arrangement?
I should like to record my congratulations to Irish Shipping, to record vigorously the fact that they are just one of a considerable number of semi-State corporations run efficiently, perhaps not commercially because of artificial constraints imposed upon them. I still believe that part of the mechanism in the vehicle for growth in productive industry has to be through a vigorous, expanding thriving, enterprising, public sector. The excessive reliance on private enterprise being advocated by private concerns and by the disciples of private enterprise in the IDA will not work. We have many models in the public sector of successful enterprise. They are to be encouraged, extended and expanded.
Minister for Transport (Mr. Wilson) John P. Wilson
Minister for Transport (Mr. Wilson): A Leas-Chathaoirleach, I wish you well in your new office and I want to ask you to convey my good wishes to the Cathaoirleach on her election as Chairman of the Seanad and to say how pleased I am to meet the Seanad for the first time in this session. With regard to the circulation of the Bill my office informs me that, whatever happened, we furnished the Bill in good time for circulation. I do not know what happened after that, but I just want to make that point.
Senator Dooge talked about the particular circumstances of the funding of the Panamax which is being built at Verolme Dockyard. I might as well come bluntly to the point. The reason the Government decided to make moneys available originally for the building of this ship was simply that we had a shipyard in Verolme which needed the work. We had 1,100 skilled people of one kind or another who did not have work, or were not likely to have work, if this provision were not made. The market, red in tooth and claw, would build this ship. The Japanese were quoted to us at the time at £14 million, and we made a considered judgment that we should subsidise the building of the ship and allocate [109] it to Verolme Cork Dockyard. It was as blunt and as simple as that. I invite Members of this House to calculate over a two and a half year period the unemployment benefit that would accrue to 1,100 workers, some of them highly skilled, add redundancy money to that, do the sum, and tell us, even on hard financial grounds, whether we chose wisely in choosing as we did.
It raised the whole question of social and economic objectives. Senator Dooge, Senator Crowley and others mentioned this in the course of their contributions. It is, as the House knows, one of the serious problems which confront any Administration. Senator Dooge asked for a sharp distinction to be made between the economic cost and the social cost. In my opening speech I made that distinction quite clearly. At present certain economists are propounding theories about what I call the market red in tooth and claw. Worse, not merely are they propounding it, but certain Governments and economies are following that philosophy with very dire consequences not merely to the countries in which they are being followed out but to the rest of the world as well. The economic cost was outlined in my opening speech, and the extent of what you can call a subsidy, if you wish, was also outlined to the House.
Indeed, I was interested to hear in a very good contribution from a new Senator that the Japanese Government were subsidising the shipyards directly and, in a hidden fashion, subsidising the steel industry which would also help the shipyards. I was interested to hear that since the country which could have built ships so many millions cheaper than the Cork Dockyard could was, in fact, Japan. Irish Shipping Limited quoted to us what it would cost in the open market and they said that, in accordance with the principles on which they were running their business, they would regard it as unjust if they were forced by us to accept a contract at anything greater than what they could have got it at on the open market. I do not think there was any failure in what I said to distinguish between the economic cost, the cost on the open market, and the price we put on [110] the ship. If you subtract the economic cost from what we now call the social joint economic and social cost, you will see exactly where the amount of subsidisation came in.
It is not fair to say that, because of this arrangement, which is, in fact, a subsidy for the shipyard rather than for Irish Shipping Limited, any kind of doubt about Irish Shipping Limited should rub off as the result. It was made quite clear by us when we made the original decision and it has been made clear by us now, what the motivation was, which was connected with the availability of 1,100 skilled people in the shipyard for whom we wanted to provide work. I made a reference to CIE simply to indicate the kind of guarantee the Government can give. I was not comparing the activities of CIE with the activities of Irish Shipping Limited. I accept the point made by Senator Murphy later on that, in so far as we have a public service which on strict economic grounds cannot be justified but which can be heavily justified on social grounds, we should be as proud of that service as we are of the one which is making a profit in the State.
Senator Dooge and all the other Senators who spoke paid a tribute to Irish Shipping Limited, a tribute which is very well deserved. What particular benefit paying the subsidy directly would have, as Senator Dooge suggested at the end of his speech, I do not know, if we can lay our hands on finance now at reasonable cost and use it for this development. Senator Crowley again raised the matter of economic and social costs in the semi-State area. Some Members of this House took part in the joint committee deliberations on many of the State companies, and nearly everybody in public life is aware of the problems.
There is a danger in developing a kind of subsidy syndrome and lying back and waiting for the State to pay the debts at the end of the year. I am not necessarily conceding to Senator Crowley that this is the case in any of the ones he mentioned, or any of the ones under the aegis of my Department and whose activities I have been studying very carefully and very deeply over the past few weeks. I admit, [111] as Senator Crowley said, that the money that is around nowadays is dear money and there is a difficulty when a semi-State body have to be subsidised with dear money as of now. In the other House today we introduced a Bill setting up An Post and Bord Telecom Éireann. The Government deliberately made generous allowance for the original funding of those two boards because they did not want heavy debts with heavy interest rates hanging around their necks, thus inhibiting them and impeding them from the very beginning.
Senator O'Mahony paid tribute to Irish Shipping but expressed regret at the method of funding of this operation. I should like to take this opportunity to reiterate what I have already said, that in no way could this arrangement be construed as being critical of Irish Shipping, casting any doubts on their ability to carry out the business for which they were founded and which they are carrying out very successfully. Both in Senator Dooge's contribution and in Senator O'Mahony's there seemed to be an indication that there might be a kind of guilt by association or something like that. I should like to refute that.
I was asked a number of questions which I will answer in so far as I may at this moment. The funding is being done by banking organisations. It is a banking transaction. The details are being worked as of now, so I cannot give the rate of interest. As I mentioned and as can be seen in the Bill itself, these details will be available when the accounts are laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. With regard to the repayments, Irish Shipping will not have to pay back any more than they would have had to pay under the original arrangement, that is to say, their obligation will be tied merely to the £7.1 million mentioned in the original arrangement. As far as the Exchequer is concerned, as I indicated already, the Exchequer will repay it. It will appear in a subhead in the Estimates for the Department of Transport.
I was also asked about ownership. At the end of the period the boat will belong to Irish Shipping. Another point raised [112] was about trading with South Africa. I have no information on that as of now, but I will inquire into it and I will communicate with the Senator. Senator Fallon emphasised very heavily the importance of the provision of jobs in the prevailing economic climate. We welcomed the idea that private investment should be available and that there had been an invitation for such private investment for some time.
I come now to Senator Murphy's contribution. I regret the lateness with which the Bill reached him. My Department inform me that they had it ready. I do not know what happened that it did not reach Senators in time. All I can say about the shift in arrangements for financing is that it is to the benefit of Irish Shipping. He put a very pertinent question when he asked: "Are the people in Irish Shipping themselves happy with the arrangements?" In fact, the people in Irish Shipping are working out the arrangements in consultation with the Department of Finance and the Department of Transport. So the answer to the question is that Irish Shipping are perfectly happy with the arrangments which have been worked out.
Senator Murphy said he was mystified at the great difference between the cost of building the ship in Verolme Cork Dockyard and the cost on the open market. I agree that it is mystifing. Perhaps a fellow Senator gave an indication of one of the reasons, which is that the shipyard being quoted to us when this arrangement was first entered into was heavily subsidised by its own Government. Perhaps Senator Murphy was not in the House when I referred to that. The Japanese shipyard which was prepared to build at the low figure I mentioned may have been getting an open Government subsidy, both direct and, as the Senator said, indirect.
Professor Murphy Professor Murphy
Professor Murphy: Is not Verolme subsidised by the Government?
Mr. Wilson Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson: This is, in fact, a subsidy. This is a system of subsidising the building of this ship. Senator Murphy went on to give a short historical conspectus on [113] the origin of Irish Shipping, and rightly said they were born out of our own domestic need and were a domestic achievement of which we could be proud. In fact, there is a recent history of the whole shipping story which spells this out in great detail, and which is of great interest, and a source of great pride to any Irish citizen in assessing how this self-reliance was developed - the self-reliance which was referred to by Senator Murphy. I also agree with him, and it has been proved in the case of Irish Shipping, that people can get as much satisfaction from and dedication to public enterprise as they can from the private field.
I have already referred to the interesting contribution by Senator Cregan, who quoted an exact figure of £350 million in direct subsidies to shipbuilding companies in Japan, and also mentioned, as I did, indirect subsidies through the steel industry. Senator Lennon was a little worried about the funding arrangements but, again, welcomed the fact that the ship is being built in this country.
Senator B. Ryan made a useful defence of our semi-State companies and congratulated Irish Shipping on being so successful in what are agreed to be rough economic times. He mentioned something very interesting about Bord na Móna being asked to supply fuel at lower than world prices and said we should not blame them if this shows on their balance sheet. This is interesting to me because I come from a little bit north of an area where Bord na Móna have been a very strong sustaining economic force. I remember years and years ago reading the ESB annual report, and seeing there that the unit cost of electricity produced from turf or the various kinds of processed peat Bord na Móna were supplying to the ESB, was greater than that for oil. Now the reverse has taken place, so we should not be too positive about anything in the field of economics.
A pertinent question asked by Senator Ryan at the end of his speech was: Is a tax benefit at the expense of the Irish taxpayer going to somebody outside the country? The answer to that is "No".
I want to thank Senators for their contributions. [114] We are anxious to have this Bill passed and become an Act on the Statute Book for reasons which became obvious from my speech on Second Reading. Our reason for changing from the original arrangment was quite bluntly to tap a new source of funds not otherwise available to the Government. That is desirable in these times, provided — and we are sure of this - we are getting a good bargain and it will not cost us any more. In fact we may gain substantially from it. Irish Shipping, as I have said already, are very happy with the arrangments and are working out the arrangements themselves. I think I have covered all the points made by Senators and I recommend the Bill to the House.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach An Leas-Chathaoirleach
An Leas-Chathaoirleach: I should like to thank the Minister for his kind words at the outset of his reply, which I deeply appreciate, and I shall convey his remarks to the Cathaoirleach.
Question put and agreed to.
Agreed to take remaining Stages today.

God's Healing
Word Ministry - Putting God back into healing and
healing back into the Church
Christian Ministry
to Physical
Healing in
By Jim Lynn
"...For I, the Lord, heal you."
With those words recorded in Exodus 15:26,
God proclaims to man the source of all healing...Himself!
Healing is not found in a bottle or pill,
it's not found in some far off new age or medical
technique...Healing is found only in the living God, the One
who knit our bones together. Only God knows how to heal in
body, spirit and soul. Only He has made for our every
All throughout Old Testament Scripture the
same message is echoed...
"The Lord will keep you free from every
disease." (Deuteronomy 7:15)
"Praise the Lord...who forgives all your
sins and heals all your diseases." (Psalm 103:2, 3)
"Trust in the Lord and lean not on your
own understanding...This will bring health to your body and
nourishment to your bones." (Proverbs 3:5-8)
"Listen closely to my words...for they
are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole
body." (Proverbs 4:20-22)
"...by his wounds you have been
healed (I Peter 2:24)
But we are a stubborn lot, aren't we? We've
looked under every rock and have searched the collective
knowledge of man to find healing, all the while ignoring God's
Word. Oh, no...I'm not speaking about pagans here, I'm talking
about born again Christians.
Christians today are bombarded with
television commercials on the virtues of prescription drugs for
every malady from A to Z. The evening news frequently tells us
of some new surgery technique, or medical scientific
breakthrough that promises to make life better for us all. The
message is that modern medicine has an answer for whatever ails
us...and the message works.
Church denominations, once known as centers
for healing, today routinely relegate healing to medical
professionals in the secular world. The word "secular" means
"Without God", by the way. It's sad, because secular medicine
treats man as any animal, subject only to proven scientific
For Christians, the problem is especially
agonizing. On the one hand they have faith in God, but struggle
to know His will in their lives. They want to believe God's
promise of healing, but have become so conditioned to how we do
church, they pay little attention. For there is little
discussion on the subject of healing from a biblical
perspective in our churches.
We know God's Word is living, but how do we
reckon with passages that seem so...so out of this world to
believe? When God says He will heal us of disease and sickness,
does He mean literally? And if so, how is this possible in
today's age of rampant chronic illness?
After all, we reason, if modern medicine
cannot stop the spread of chronic illness, why hasn't God done
it for us?
Modern medicine can be a wonderful tool for
healing when applied correctly. But have you ever considered
that modern medicine can also be a curse, an abomination unto
the Lord? Healing is the most sought after commodity on earth.
So it is sad when mankind looks everywhere but to the one
source who provides it.
Christians know God has conquered death and
they share the hope of the resurrection. What we do not know is
God's Word provides healing in body in the here and now (Isaiah
53:4-50. He has said, His Word brings health to our body and
nourishment to our bones. The problem is not that God said it,
but rather how little we believe it or apply it.
If we believe God has overcome death on our
behalf, can we not believe His Word can heal our body when we
are overcome with a life-threatening illness? Likewise, while
God's Word brings health to our bones, we need to know
ignorance of His Word brings death (Hosea 4:6).
Many Christians today are challenged to grow
in truth and knowledge of God's Word. May you be blessed by God
with wellness, and grow in His riches.

The discussion regarding email and social and which one is the better channel (email is dead yada yada) is getting rather tedious. What makes this entire debate really frustrating is that it's completely worthless in the larger scope. Oh sure, email marketers feel compelled to douse any suggestion that email is dying in order to reassure clients that they should still be spending with them, but other than that, what's the point? The people we market to will make the decision as to what channel is best suited to their needs and that's the only choice which matters. Everything else is simply politics and drama. Email is a social channel because by definition, any interaction between humans is social. It doesn't matter if that interaction took place in person, via email, by phone or Twitter. We are social, we build communities wherever we go because they suit something bred in the bone which spurs us to seek out others and interact. The web hasn't reinvented humans. Quite the … [Read more...]
Are Your Customers Looking for your Business on Mobile Phones? 5 Facts Worth Knowing
There has been a lot of talk about the power of mobile marketing. From text marketing to applications, the market is abuzz with the "power of mobile." For some businesses it seems like a perfect fit, while other companies struggle to see the value of implementing a mobile marketing strategy. That's why when I read a great article in Entrepreneur Magazine that had some information consumers use of mobile phone, I thought I would share it with you. The article was based on the findings of a recent research study done by Harris Interactive. I've grabbed 5 highlights to share with you here: … [Read more...]
Social Media Day Open Forum: You've Got Questions! We've Got Answers!
Social Media Day by design is a pretty free-form event. Some local events are strictly GT parties and some are trying to add a little more. At the Social Media Day event at Hangar 26 in Antwerp on June 30th, J-P De Clerk and team have put together a great party and networking event! But, they also have decided to include the opportunity for people to gain and share knowledge and insight on social media marketing. Everyone has questions about social media and especially about leveraging it for marketing, even those of us who might be considered knowledgeable or even "expert" at it. At the event, from 5 PM to 6 PM, there will an open social media forum with Olivier Blanchard, where you can ask your questions and get answers and insight from a thought leader in social media. Now, one hour is almost certainly not going to be enough, so you can also ask your questions via email, comment, our LinkedIn group or even Facbook. J-P has assembled an all-star team of social media pros who … [Read more...]
5 LinkedIn Must Haves
With everyone going on about the wonders of Facebook and Twitter, our poor friend LinkedIn sometimes gets left out in the cold. While not one of the most visible sites, it is definitely one of the most powerful. With millions of people from all over the globe taking part in the conversation on LinkedIn, it is definitely a place online where your audience thrives. What I usually hear when I speak to prospective clients about LinkedIn is that "I'm not B2B, I'm B2C. LinkedIn will never work for me." Aside from that statement oddly rhyming, that statement can't be more false. Whether you are B2B or B2C, you can carve out your own audience on LinkedIn. I've said this quite a bit, and lately people have been asking me to put my money where my mouth is asking "Can you prove that there is ROI in LinkedIn?" My answer, "Absolutely!" About 60% of my business comes from LinkedIn. True. While my firm may be unique, we handle accounts for a wide array of clientele that get results … [Read more...]
Why Aren't You Promoting Your Social Profiles? 10 Ways to Make it Happen
When going through numerous articles on social media strategies it dawned on me that there was a glaring omission: tactics on how to promote your social media profiles OUTSIDE of logging in to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. While it may sound odd, cross marketing is an essential part of a successful social media marketing strategy (as well as a successful marketing strategy). It is completely understandable that when you launch a social media campaign, you really want to spend a bulk of your time logged into the site trying to achieve penetration and engagement. For example, when marketing your business's Facebook Page, you are logging in on a daily basis to update your page, share it and use different onsite tools to engage with your target consumers. But what about the people that you speak to everyday on the phone or at events? How about those who you give your business card to? How about the people on the receiving end of the 100+ emails that you have to respond to … [Read more...]
Word-of-Mouth Marketing: The Ostrich Factor
I had an interesting exchange a few days ago regarding social media and the power of word-of-mouth. I was at my car dealership and one of their senior people was looking at a problem with my car. When he asked what I did for a living we started talking about social media. To set this up right, let me point out that this gent is a vet of the business, has seen a lot of changes and has tons of customer interaction and service experience. When I mentioned how word-of-mouth has been turbo charged by social media and too many businesses out there aren't catching on fast enough, his response was one I've heard before. While he acknowledged the impact of social media and the reach it provides consumers, he felt that impact was lessened by the fact that most people will take any critical information on these channels with a grain of salt, assuming there are two sides to every story. This perspective can only be described as the "ostrich syndrome", but even ostriches don't actually stick … [Read more...]
Marketer's Important Objectives for Social Media in 2011
MarketingSherpa has posted an interesting chart derived from a survey of 3,300 marketers asked to indicate their most important social media marketing objectives they hope to achieve in 2011. The question was: What are the most important objectives for your organization's social marketing program to achieve in 2011? Increasing website traffic via social media integration was number one at 56%, followed by improving brand awareness or reputation at 51%. Also top of mind at 51%, was the desire to develop an effective and methodical social marketing strategy. Achieving measurable ROI from social was most important to half of those surveyed, while converting social media members, followers and the like to paying customers was the primary to 45%. Achieving or increasing measurable lead generation from social marketing came in at 40%. Why is it that only half of those surveyed thought that achieving a measurable ROI from social media was important? Is this because the newness of … [Read more...]
Highlights from European Social Media and Email Marketing Study
I've just been reading The European Social Media and Email Marketing Study from eCircle and I thought I'd share some of the high level observations with you. The survey was conducted online with just over one thousand participants. When considering how people use email and social networks, eCircle reported that 73% of respondents have at least one social network account. The study also concluded that Facebook is the social net with the largest multiplier potential – regarding reach, number of friends and usage intensity. Those seeking information on products and companies via social remains relatively low at just 28% and that seems consistent with other surveys. Only 32% of those using social networks are fans or follow a company brand and half of those fan/followers are doing so because they are looking for discounts or special offers from the brand. Are you aware of this desire? Are you doing anything to meet it? When it comes to advertising, not surprisingly, social … [Read more...]
Report: Where Marketers are Focusing in Social Media
According to the Social Media Marketing Report 2011, a significant percentage of marketers are investing a good amount of time each week in social media. 58% reported they were using it for six hours or more each week. 15% reported that they spent more than 20 hours a week on social media. That's a substantial investment of time for anyone and it's rather interesting what factors influence the percentages. The experience factor How much experience you have with social seems to influence how much time you spend on it each week. 63% of people with three or more years of experience spend more than ten hours a week in social activities. While only 41% of those with one to three years of experience spend as much time. The age factor Not surprisingly, age also plays a role in how much time marketers spend on social media. The younger the marketer, the more time spent on social. 20 to 29 year olds spend the most time in comparison to other age groups with 41% spending 11 hours or … [Read more...]
Social Media Swimming Lessons
Remember that old video game called "Pitfall"? You had to leap over pits of alligators and swing across swamps and avoid other obstacles. That might be a great analogy for social media if you happen to be new to it. There are a lot of pitfalls and hungry alligators which could ruin your whole day. So, I thought I would focus today on trying to offer some advice to those just thinking about starting out in social media. I hope this helps and if you have any tips to add, please comment. If you have the resources than bringing in some outside expertise to help you ramp up on social media is certainly a sound idea. Of course, not everyone has those kinds of resources and that's who I'm writing this post for. Even so, outside consultants can provide some guidance and the right tools, but you still have to jump in the water (watch out for the alligators!) and learn how to swim for yourself. I can promise you that at some point there's a very good chance someone won't like something … [Read more...]
You Don't Own Facebook
Ed. Note: This post originally appeared on ScottWritesEverything.com. I'm not breaking new ground here with this statement: You don't own Facebook. You also don't own Twitter, MySpace (apparently it's still around), Foursquare, LinkedIn, or any other of these so-called social media services. Why is this important, you ask? Because if you depend on one of these services as your sole means of communication, you're in trouble. Think about it: If all you do is post on Facebook, and suddenly Facebook shuts down tomorrow, what are you left with? You cannot silo yourself to one place for communication, both personally and professionally. It's just not a good idea because you don't own the channel. You may find yourself up in arms about Facebook's complete lack of regard for privacy. Why should Facebook care? They own the service, and you're using it for free. If you don't want your privacy messed with, don't use Facebook. And create your own social network. If you own it, … [Read more...]
7 Social Marketing Insights
I'm known for turning a phrase now and then. You'll find them (some of which have been inspired by other, smarter people) scattered through my posts around the web. Today, I thought I would gather seven of them to share with you all in one place. How insightful they actually are is for you to judge, but I do hope this post generates some thought and discussion. 1 - The web is driven by communities Communities laid the foundation for the web and they continue to be its engine. It's certainly true that once companies developed transaction technology, the web started to develop into a commerce channel and money from that kept building it. However, without communities all you would have is huge strip mall with infinite parking. Understanding how communities grow and interact can help you develop a communication strategy which will work. 2 - The email vs. social debate is a red herring being used by some to drive personal agendas By definition any interaction between two people … [Read more...]
Five Key Soft Benefits of Social Media for Small Business
Please welcome Annie Tsai as a guest blogger here @ Social Marketing Forum. You'll love her insight and style! I've dived cannon ball style into social media for small business. Because the relationship piece of running a business is extremely difficult to measure, the value is often overlooked. Small businesses have however always relied on a strong relationship to drive recurring revenue, which is why adding social media to their marketing mix makes so much sense. I've found that more are using social media as a relationship building channel first, and a revenue conversion tool second. So for those of you that are looking to dedicate what little resource you have to also jumping in the social media pool, this one's for you. Five Key Soft Benefits of Social Media for Business: Social media gives us the opportunity to work and have it not feel like work Social media allows us to help make this globalized economy much smaller and thankfully, much more … [Read more...]
The Marketing Power of Online Communities
When many in the corporate world hear the words "online community", they scratch their heads and wonder exactly what that is. Even if they know what an online community is, they may well be intimidated by the idea of managing one. I call that the "new puppy effect". Bringing home a new puppy is a big commitment and time consuming and it's fair to wonder if you have the resources to handle it. However, the fundamental truth that you should understand is that communities drive the web. Social media isn't an adjunct of the web, it's the natural evolution of it. Online communities were the spark which created the internet and the engine which continues to power it. If you have a blog which features user comments, then you have a foundation for an online community. If you are on Twitter or Facebook then you have the potential for an online community. These constructs are much like reefs are for fish – once the reef is built, the community forms around them. If that community is … [Read more...]
SMBs Find Value in Social Marketing
Would I be wrong in speculating that SMBs have always placed more value in word-of-mouth advertising than larger corporations? Aside from the fact that it's very cost effective (pretty much free), each and every relationship they create and nurture is absolutely their life blood. After all, with an SMB, you might only be a few relationship breakups away from oblivion. So, I'm not too surprised to read a post at eMarketer about a new survey which suggests that to SMBs, social marketing is more attractive than paid search for online marketing. Word-of-mouth advertising is the number one way respondents (82%) reported that customers find them, followed by search engines and the internet (66%). Traditional advertising came in a distant third at just 37%. In fact, according to the survey, SMBs report social media as their number two priority for online marketing. 44% reported they used social media to market their business which ranked second to a company website at 86%. Email … [Read more...]
The Final Destination for Social Media
It's amazing how much of the conversation around social media focuses on…social media itself. That is, the tools. Blog posts with "social media" in the title tend to get higher readership than posts about SEO, white papers or just about any other marketing topic. Tweets about Twitter statistics generate far more retweets than if the topic is email statistics. None of this is bad of course, just interesting. It shows we're still collectively in the shiny-sparkly stage when it comes to social media. That's natural, part of the way we (particularly early adopters) are made: we are fascinated by new technologies until they become part of the fabric of everyday life, at which point we collectively shift our focus to the utility of the tool rather than the technology itself. And social media tools are complex, so it will likely take a while to reach this stage. What will social media look like when it's mature? But let's take a mental leap through time; what will social media look like … [Read more...]
The Chicken, the Egg and the Internet
I had a very interesting conversation with John Caldwell of Red Pill Email Marketing the other day. In all honesty, I don't have many uninteresting conversations with John. He's someone I consider to be both a source for sober second thought and a thought provocateur. Recently we found ourselves in the midst of a "chicken and the egg" discussion regarding the internet, communities and communication. Did the internet start up because of communities or did it start up and flourish because of the need for more efficient means of communication? At the core of this question is something I've preached for many years: The internet is driven by communities and without them it's just one big strip-mall with infinite parking. You probably know the story of how the roots of the internet grew from a DARPA project to connect computers at such places as NORAD HQ, the Pentagon and SAC. But did those seeds take root because the people involved needed to communicate and then the community formed … [Read more...]
Recommendations & Online Trust
Trust me. Now there are two words which can make you cringe. If someone has to tell you or ask you to trust them then it's a good bet you either don't know them or don't trust them. Knowing someone (having a relationship with them) is a big factor for trust. Sometimes that relationship might not even be direct and personal. After all, people have made careers out of pitching products based on the reputations they've established via TV or some other medium which makes them appear trustworthy. And then there are the experts, those people who have dedicated a good portion of their lives (you're told) to becoming brain trusts in their field – you trust them because you feel you should. Not because you know or even like them, but because you've been told by some letters after their name or the friendly announcer on the news program, you ought to. Trust is a funny thing. I trust my doctor because he's got the credentials and the license, but, that trust only goes so far. I had to … [Read more...]
Oliver Blanchard: Think Beyond Marketing
Oliver Blanchard has led a pretty interesting life. He served in the French Fusiliers before moving to the US and working with a variety of B2B and B2C Fortune 500 companies and SMBs. He's currently runs BrandBuilder Marketing and functions as senior strategist. He helps companies develop, build, integrate, manage and measure social media programs. He also helps corporations with reputation management both online and off. Oliver will be one of the keynote speakers at The Fusion Marketing Experience on March 23rd in Brussels. He's got a lot of interesting and provocative things to say, even his blog's bio page get's rave comments and that's gotta say something special about him. Here's an excerpt from one of Oliver's many insightful posts: "If you are using social media channels for "marketing" and mostly for campaigns, no wonder you aren't getting any concrete results: You are doing the same old stuff that already was working marginally well five years ago, only it has … [Read more...]
Finding Corporate Success with Social Media
When people mention social media marketing, it's all too easy to think they are referring to Facebook and just Facebook. However, social media marketing spans a number of channels such as Twitter, social sharing sites and of course, your blog. A holistic approach targeting all channels and a blog as the central hub is a winning social media strategy. But how do you prioritize those channels? How should the money be spread around? A study from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research (reported by eMarketer), indicates that many Inc. 500 companies are using a mix of tactics in social marketing. According to the study, 71% of companies used Facebook last year which is up from 61% in 2009. Twitter was close behind with 59% and blogging at 50%. That last number is interesting! Remember, Facebook is a proprietary channel and it's open to your competitors as well. Putting all your eggs in that basket or any basket is something to be wary of. Grow … [Read more...]
A River Called "Social"
I used to go "tubing" on a river not far from Toronto. Tubing is where you ride an old tire inner-tube down a river or creek. On this particular river, part of the fun is that there are some pretty good rapids which give you a bit of a rush. My wife and I went camping and tubing there at least once a year and I felt pretty confident that I had mastered it. I don't tube there any more because the last time I went, I almost drowned. I hit one of the rapids, the tube flipped over and I found out what it was like to be shoved into a washing machine and put through a full cycle. I came very close to a soggy end (even with a life jacket on) because I was overconfident and thought I knew what to expect from the river. Social media is like that river – it's powerful and swift and just when you think you have it mastered, it can suddenly change and suck you under. Any "riverman" will tell you that you can never assume you know all there is to know about a river – a river runs and you have … [Read more...]

Smart Social Media: Where Is The Captain?
Cap'n Crunch cereal was first brought to market in 1963. The original Cap'n Crunch character might seem vaguely familiar to some and that's because he was created by Jay Ward, the same animator who gave us icons such as Rocky & Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right and George of the Jungle. The Cap'n is an institution to generations of kids and fondly remembered as a part of childhood for many. It may have been during a nostalgic moment for the aforementioned childhood that drove the guys at "The Giant Steps" boutique marketing agency to go on a hunt for the Cap'n online and on social. The Giant Steps is a small marketing startup out of Chicago which seems to understand that today, the consumer calls the shots and you don't own your brand anymore. When they spotted the new retro packaging for the cereal, the two founders decided to let the folks at Quaker Oats know how much they liked it. After searching high and low for Cap'n Crunch, they found him MIA. Sure he had a mini-site, but no … [Read more...]

Mallory . Necorspherian Tattoo Woman. . (Atari Teenage Riot - Blood in my Eyes) Name: Mallory Gender: Female Species: Necrospherian Race: Lower Class Occupation: Tattoo Artist Prevailing Element: Shadow Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Typical Tool(s): Tattoo gun and needle fingers MOC Status: Assembled. Once a young woman in her twenties, known as Victoria Robertson. She was born in Toronto, Canada and started a home business of designing tattoos for companies. She often practiced her designs on herself, to the point of having a majority of her skin covered in ink. She lived alone, but often had men over from various dates. Her last boyfriend was a technical admirer, and wished to take apart and examine Victoria's tattoo gun. She agreed while casually cooking dinner for the night. She walked over to him with a steaming bowl of rice, while he was examining the coils. Victoria tapped on his shoulder to be cute, but ended up surprising him. He flung out of his seat, with all the parts of the gun flying through the air. The needle of the gun was jammed on the far side of her left eye. She collapsed back and fell on scared machine bits, ripping open her skin when sliding. That same night, she was rushed to the emergency room and was sent to immediate surgery. She was stable and conscious afterwards, and was left to get some sleep. She was melancholy, knowing her life would never be the same after this accident, although she blames herself. She looked for the thinnest, sharpest object around her, and jammed it into her inflicted eye. When they found her that next morning, she was covered in scabbed over blood and a syringe half hanging out of her eye. Through her suicide, she became a Necrospeherian, sporting a look that was deserving of her death. She took up the name Mallory for it's meaning of "unfortunate". She is not known for being violent, but is heard seen speaking. She walks through Etyosa, wandering through the eternal limbo. Fourth Wall Commentary Wow, it has been quite a while, guys! I'm not gonna lie, I've had a combination of MOCing block and 20+ games to play, I'm so pathetic xD. Anyway, good to be back! I've had the idea to make more characters from my species/story. Most of which are not even main characters (yet), just examples of how the species is made. Mallory is one of my darker ideas, although not compared to the next one I'm planning :P. I wanted to make a skeletal, skinny frame with robotic features with this character. Granted, I know some bits like the waist and upper right arm are thin, but it adds to the look. So I will take any complaint about it as an aesthetic issue xD. I am pretty proud of the detail I put into the tattoo gun and head. Mostly the head, for it acts as a face mask covering the inflicted eye, kind of like a welders mask. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the MOC, make sure like and comment :3 Oh, and expect this within the year. ;D

For a long time, I've been casually posting a recipe now and then under the catagory "Contrary Vegetarian" (because I am not a vegetarian – I just cook for a few of them) and toying with the idea of starting a food blog. Well, today I did it!! (That's not entirely true – I've been working on it like crazy for a week or so now – but I launched it today.) So, without further introduction, I'm excited to announce ~
What's for Dinner, Mama?
It's been over 10 years now since one of my daughters decided to go vegetarian, and when she did, I resolved that I was not going to cook two different meals every night – one for her and one for everyone else. I also didn't I want her to live on Tofurkey and PBJ's her entire life, so I started cooking more vegetarian-friendly choices and developing adaptable meals – meals that can be made for both vegetarians and omnivores at the same time.
That daughter has long since been lured back to the meat-eating side, wiled away by the seductive scent of bacon (and no, my dear vegan/veggie friends, your facon does not taste like bacon, no matter how much you like to think it does), but there are still plenty of vegetarians in my life to cook for, and since then, I've never looked back. In fact, I've learned a lot about cooking for vegetarians in an omnivorous household, and even more about living cleaner, greener, and healthier – and that's what What's for Dinner, Mama? is all about.
Pop over today – you'll find four recipes (under the tab Recipes →Cooking Basics) that are staples in my meal-prep arsenal. Next Monday, I'll put them all together and post a recipe for one of our all-time favorite meals – warm, healthy comfort food that both veggies and omnis will love.
P.S. I'll get the results of Save a Book posted this weekend!

I have a small farm in S.E. Mass and we got a nice crop of first year Zeus hops. I am harvesting over the next couple of days and figured I would send this out. If anyone is interested in some fresh Massachusetts grown hops send me a message. You will have to pick them up here please. When they are gone I will modifiy or delete this post so you know.
We are a "for profit" farm but there is NO CHARGE for these hops....I wouldn't turn down a bottle of home brew though if offered.....thanks Paul
