Order of Business.
Thursday, 15 November 2001
Dáil Eireann Debate
The Taoiseach: The Order of Business today shall be No. 23a, Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2000 [Seanad] – Financial Resolution; No. 24, motion re Electricity Regulation Act, 1999 (Eligible Customer) Order, 2001, returned from committee; No. 50, Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2000 [Seanad] – Order for Report and Report and Final Stages; No. 51, Residential Institutions Redress Bill, 2001 – Second Stage (resumed) and No. 51a, Statements on Afghanistan, to be taken not later than 2 p.m. and the Order shall not resume thereafter. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that Nos. 23a and 24, shall be decided without debate and the Report and Final Stages of No. 50 shall be taken today and the proceedings thereon shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 12 noon by one question, which shall be put from the Chair and which shall, in relation to amendments, include only those set down or accepted by the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources; the proceedings on No. 51a, shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 3.30 p.m. and the following arrangements shall apply: the statements of a Minister or Minister of State and of the main spokespersons for the Fine Gael Party and the Labour Party, shall not exceed 15 minutes in each case; the statement of each other Member called upon shall not exceed ten minutes; and Members may share time.
An Ceann Comhairle: There are three proposals to be put to the House. The first is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 23a and 24 without debate.
Mr. Sargent: That is not agreed to. I oppose this because the Electricity Regulation Act, 1999 (Eligible Customer) Order, 2001, is to be taken. Before that is done we should hear from the Ministers for Public Enterprise and the Environment and Local Government about their cloak [263] and dagger move to exempt mobile telephone masts from planning regulations.
An Ceann Comhairle: That is not appropriate to this proposal.
Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey): It is subject to the same regulations.
An Ceann Comhairle: Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 23a and 24 without debate, agreed to? Agreed. The second proposal is the proposal for dealing with No. 50, Report and Final Stages of the Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2000 [Seanad]. Is it agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 51a, statements on Afghanistan, agreed to? Agreed.
Mr. Noonan: I would like to wish every success to the Irish soccer team in Tehran this afternoon. They have been unlucky on a number of previous occasions and I hope they are successful this time. While speaking about sporting matters, will the Taoiseach comment on the assertion by the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation that the Sports Campus Ireland project will go ahead as planned despite the fact that his colleague, the Minister for Education and Science, cannot provide money for 365 primary schools any more, that there are no sports halls in 65% of primary schools and 50% of secondary schools and that the Minister for Finance announced last Sunday that projects in the national development plan would not go ahead? Is Sports Campus Ireland going ahead as planned?
Mr. Quinn: Will the Taoiseach illuminate the position of the Government following the replies given yesterday by the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, and in particular his reply of 4 October, which said the report of the so-called independent consultants on the viability and acceptability of the project would be published before any decision is made? A decision has been made in advance of the publication of the report. Can he ensure the report will be published in conjunction with the Estimates later?
The Taoiseach: I join Deputy Noonan in wishing our national team well. It is a pity we do not have a stadium that would hold half the number of supporters the stadium in Tehran holds.
Mr. Farrelly: We would have had a stadium if the Government had not withdrawn the money.
Mr. G. Mitchell: If we had a couple of mullahs, we would have one.
The Taoiseach: Unfortunately, the capacity will have been reduced to 22,000, 100,000 less than the number of people supporting our opposition later, before anything is built. I still wish the team well. I have nothing to add to what the Minister [264] for Tourism, Sport and Recreation said yesterday during Question Time. As the House will be aware, Stadium Campus Ireland must go through the planning process and so on and it will probably be 2004 before any significant expenditure is required.
Mr. McCormack: How much has been spent already?
An Ceann Comhairle: Order, please. We are taking Leaders' Questions.
The Taoiseach: In the meantime the Minister for Education and Science has spent four times that which the previous Government spent on schools while the Minister for Health and Children has doubled expenditure and, I hope that will continue.
Mr. Gormley: What about public transport?
Mr. Farrelly: How much money will the Government have to spend next year? The Taoiseach should ask the Minister for the Environment and Local Government, because he wants everyone to leave the country.
The Taoiseach: Thankfully, while we are not bound to significant investment for a number of years, in general in regard to sport we have moved from a position where we spent less than £13 million annually to acceptable levels of funding for sport and community organisations. We still have a good deal to do in this area and I hope that continues throughout this decade.
Mr. Noonan: What is the total estimated cost of the Stadium Campus Ireland project?
Mr. M. Brennan: The Deputy will know in 2002.
Mr. Noonan: Will the Taoiseach outline the phasing of the project?
The Taoiseach: When the project is finally approved by the Government, the expert report will have to be taken into account. They are seeking an analysis of a number of things that we should wisely do. The Government will have to do those things. The phasing of the project is based on whether there is a campus and other facilities. There is plenty of room for manoeuvre in phasing it. It is sad that it will take some years to provide these facilities. It is an awful pity that we do not have them. Even in an enlarged EU Ireland will still be the country at the end of the decade with probably the worst sporting facilities, which is an indictment of all of us.
Mr. Gormley: And the worst health service.
[265]The Taoiseach: No, we have the best health service.
Mr. Sargent: I hope the Taoiseach will not get sick.
Mr. Quinn: Is the Taoiseach aware of the contents of the report published by the Refugee Council yesterday? Its main points are: "Expectant mothers living in hostels under the direct provision of the Government policy are malnourished, babies suffer ill-health—
An Ceann Comhairle: It is not in order to quote during any question time.
Mr. Quinn: This is not Question Time.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is asking a question. It is not in order to quote.
Mr. Quinn: Can I refer to the report?
An Ceann Comhairle: Yes, but the Deputy must refer to it by way of question.
Mr. Quinn: I refer to the second point that babies suffer from ill-health.
Mr. M. Brennan: Did Fergus Finlay write the report?
An Ceann Comhairle: Order, please.
Mr. Quinn: I know Deputy Matt Brennan does not want to hear the facts and that he wants to retire from the House as quickly as possible. If I was a Government backbencher I would feel the same.
Mr. M. Brennan: If I was in Deputy Quinn's shoes, I would sit down.
An Ceann Comhairle: Order, please. Deputy Quinn should proceed with his question.
Adults go hungry to feed their children out of a welfare allowance of £15 a week. Different dietary needs of people of different nationalities are largely ignored in hostels. Hostels are chronically overcrowded with entire families living in one room. Teenage boys and girls have no privacy and usually have to share rooms with their parents. Children lose respect for parents who are allowed little influence over their own or their children's day to day lives and needless repression and intimidation by staff is a feature of some life in our hostels.
This is the direct result of a Government policy which the Taoiseach admired when he was in Australia. Will the Government continue with this shameful system of treating human beings? If not, what course of action will be taken in its stead?
[266]Mr. Noonan: Does the Taoiseach agree the rights provided to all citizens under the Constitution also apply to everybody who is resident in Ireland, including asylum seekers? What steps will he take to vindicate these rights on behalf of this much set upon minority in our community?
The Taoiseach: I agree we should be very mindful of people's constitutional rights and human rights, if they are not citizens. This country arguably has the most liberal immigration and asylum regime. I heard about the report overnight and I asked the relevant sections for their views this morning. They refute claims made by the Irish Refugee Council in the latest document, "Beyond the Pale", regarding asylum seeking children and social exclusion in the State. I am informed that the sample that forms the basis for the report is 43 families in Limerick, Cork and Ennis, of which 30% were living under direct provision. Therefore, it was a very small sample.
However, accommodation providers and other companies engaged by the State are required to ensure that all accommodation centres comply with and operate in accordance with all statutory requirements of local authorities and other agencies in regard to planning, building by-laws, bedroom capacity, food, food hygiene, water supply, sewage disposal, fire precautions and general safety. All the planning requirements and statutory regulations are observed and in circumstances where asylum seeking parents and children are accommodated in centres operated by the agency, RIA, particular emphasis is placed on meeting their needs.
When I contacted the relevant section earlier I was told the costs are provided in each reception and accommodation centre where infants are accommodated and toilet and bathroom facilities are provided in accordance with whatever are the relevant statutory requirements. The memorandum agreement stipulates that as a minimum cots, which were mentioned in the report, infant formula, infant food, access to fresh water for the preparation of infant formula, sterilisers sufficient for a number of infant children, water boiling facilities, refrigerators, microwaves and bottle warmers must be provided.
The inspectorate unit within the RIA conducts regular detailed inspections of each location where asylum seekers are accommodated. Any diminution in standards which comes to light as a result of such inspections is treated very seriously and can lead to termination of contracts where that is deemed to be warranted. There are also safety nets in place where for medical or social reasons asylum seekers have been taken out of direct provision by community welfare officers. The Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs pays benefits when that happens.
One can always take samples and come up with figures but the State spends in excess of £150 million on these provisions.
[267]Mr. M. Higgins: And writes long rambling reports that mean nothing
Ms Fitzgerald: That is why people are starving.
The Taoiseach: The Office of Public Works is trying to improve and acquire better accommodation all the time. There are difficulties sometimes. Many Members know what happens. People in their constituencies take legal action to prevent accommodation centres being established and many cases are before the courts currently. However, that view is not taken in other constituencies. That is a difficulty but accommodation is available and significant moneys are being invested in this area and in controls. The view of the people who are doing their best in this area is that the report is entirely unfair and unjustifiable.
Mr. M. Higgins: It is a very fair report.
Mr. Quinn: Do I take it the Taoiseach's view is that the independent report compiled by three academics, Dr. Brian Fanning, Dr. Angela Veale and Ms Dawn O'Connor, has been rejected by Government sources and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform as being biased and unscientific? Does he feel ashamed that a respected, independent journalist could begin a report in the following way: "If a parent did to any other child what the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform does to the children of asylum seekers, the social workers would be called in"?
All if not most of the problems identified in this report could be solved if asylum seekers were allowed to work in this country. This is the view of the Catholic bishops, it is the view of my own party, it is the view of the Taoiseach's partners in Government and I suspect it is the view of many of the Taoiseach's backbenchers. It is vigorously opposed by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and by the particular Minister who heads up that Department. Surely the Taoiseach with his wide itinerary which enables him to visit anywhere in the country could visit some of these asylum seekers and verify for himself whether his version or this version of the truth is the correct one? Will the Taoiseach at last recognise that the fundamental human right of any person is the right to work? Many of the problems identified would be resolved if asylum seekers were given the right to work and the consequent dignity that comes with that. They would then have the independent resources to feed their own children – children who are identified as being malnourished under the provision of the State in the year 2001.
An Ceann Comhairle: An Taoiseach for the final reply.
The Taoiseach: I could recite a litany of statistics of the numbers of staff who are working—
[268]Mr. Quinn: The Taoiseach could answer the question.
The Taoiseach: I will. I could give details of the numbers of staff who have been assigned under the Refugee Act to process the applications for asylum in order to bring the work down to manageable proportions. I believe that by the end of this year they will be down to a six month period and they have been struggling to achieve that over the last few years. There are now over 610 staff if I recall correctly compared to the 20 who were there four years ago. When asylum seekers have gone through the internationally recognised process they can then be treated. We have the most liberal immigration policy in the entire world and that is something to be proud of. No other country allows that a child born in the country to somebody who arrived that day is regarded as a citizen. Nowhere else has even thought of that.
I have visited the hotels in my constituency that have been purchased by the State to accommodate asylum seekers. I believe there is more accommodation provided in my constituency than elsewhere because my constituency does not take the attitude of people in other constituencies who run to seek a judicial review and legal action in order to stop them because they think there is something wrong with them. Sin ceist eile.
If there are problems and difficulties then, as Deputy Noonan said, we should ensure their constitutional and legal rights. We are spending £150 million and we will spend more next year. We will continue to provide resources for asylum seekers. We should be proud of the liberal attitude taken by this country rather—
Mr. Quinn: What about the right to work?
The Taoiseach: —than be running around trying to highlight cases in order to show up a different position.
An Ceann Comhairle: That concludes Leaders' questions. We now come to the relevant questions on the Order of Business.
Ms Fitzgerald: I am appalled at the Taoiseach's response to the report in today's paper. He may say we have the most liberal regime—
An Ceann Comhairle: That is not a question. The Deputy cannot comment on what the leaders raised. That is confined to the leaders. It should be a question on promised legislation.
Ms Fitzgerald: Mothers cannot breastfeed their children. It is worth making that point.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy should not be disorderly. The Deputy should ask her question in accordance with Standing Orders.
Ms Fitzgerald: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the ombudsman for children. It is very [269] clear from the report in today's Irish Times that some children's human rights—
An Ceann Comhairle: That is a statement. The Deputy should ask a question on legislation. The Deputy is being disorderly and must resume her seat. I will call the Deputy again but the Deputy is disorderly on this occasion and must resume her seat.
Mr. Gilmore: The list of legislation includes a communications regulations Bill which is to update the regulatory framework in light of full liberalisation of the telecommunications sector. It is expected to be published next year. May I ask the Taoiseach if he would persuade the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to withdraw the regulations he has prepared which will allow telecommunications companies erect telephone masts without planning permission? This matter was discussed at the—
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy should ask a question.
Mr. Gilmore: My question is about legislation which is due to be published, we are told in 2002, yet the Minister for the Environment and Local Government is introducing by ministerial order through the back door a regulation which will allow telecommunications companies to erect masts without planning permission. I ask him to withdraw that and include it in the legislation—
Mr. Dempsey: I am restating what the Labour Party did.
Mr. Gilmore: The Minister had no right to do it.
An Ceann Comhairle: Order, please. I call An Taoiseach.
The Taoiseach: The Bill for communications regulations is to provide for the extension of certain powers of the Director of Telecommunications Regulation. It will provide an update in light of the forthcoming full liberalisation of the sector. The regulations referred to are a restatement of the current regulations in relation to telecommunications and other regulations necessitated by the provisions of the Planning and Development Act.
Mr. Gilmore: They are new regulations.
The Taoiseach: The Minister is putting these draft regulations before the committee for discussion.
Mr. Browne: (Carlow-Kilkenny): Ceann Comhairle, I know you share my concern for our constituents in Carlow-Kilkenny. Will the Taoiseach give a progress report on the dispute in the Sugar [270] Company? His Minister of State made great efforts yesterday—
An Ceann Comhairle: There are other ways in which matters can be raised. It is not appropriate to the Order of Business.
Mr. Browne: (Carlow-Kilkenny): Perhaps the Taoiseach would report progress.
Mr. Higgins: (Dublin West): In the last 24 hours the country has been absolutely scandalised as it has come to light that rampant land speculation in south Dublin has resulted in a demand of up to £90 million to the local authority—
An Ceann Comhairle: Has the Deputy a question on the Order of Business?
Mr. Higgins: (Dublin West): Yes, I do.
An Ceann Comhairle: Then the Deputy should not make statements. He should ask the question.
Mr. Higgins: (Dublin West): It is just a brief preamble. Other speakers had much longer preambles. I was just drawing breath and you are down my throat. The question relates to promised legislation. The Fianna Fáil Party rezoned this land that is now the subject of this profiteering. Will the Taoiseach introduce as a matter of urgency the Greater Dublin Area Land Use and Transport Authority Bill in order to curb this type of profiteering and to take this outrageous speculation out of the picture and off the back of the taxpayers?
An Ceann Comhairle: I call the Taoiseach on the promised legislation.
The Taoiseach: The heads of that Bill are almost ready. It will be taken in the early part of next year.
Mr. Howlin: What about speculation?
Mr. Farrelly: Does the Taoiseach or the Government intend to introduce new legislation or amend existing legislation in relation to the construction industry where 30,000 people face losing their jobs by Christmas?
An Ceann Comhairle: Is there promised legislation?
Mr. Farrelly: There is. It was promised last night.
Mr. Rabbitte: Today is the last day for holders of bogus non-resident accounts to settle their affairs with the Revenue Commissioners under the Statement of Practice. Will the Taoiseach agree to have the Minister for Finance make a statement in the House and allow for questions [271] on the matter and where an assessment can be made?
An Ceann Comhairle: Arrangements for statements are a matter for the Whips. It is not a matter in the Order of Business.
Mr. Rabbitte: I am merely asking the Taoiseach if he will indicate to the Government Whip that he will facilitate such a debate as soon as we know the extent of success—
The Taoiseach: I have raised the matter with the Minister for Finance. It will take about a week before the situation becomes clear.
An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Fitzgerald may ask a question on proposed legislation.
Ms Fitzgerald: Will the children of asylum seekers be included in the legislation dealing with the ombudsman for children and what is the timetable for this legislation?
An Ceann Comhairle: What will be covered by the legislation is not in order.
The Taoiseach: The Bill will be published shortly and definitely in this session.
Mr. Sargent: I am minded to ask about the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty Bill in light of the High Court decision in London this morning. This decision is disappointing from Ireland's point of view in relation to the MOX plant case.
An Ceann Comhairle: A question please, Deputy.
Mr. Sargent: Does the Taoiseach have any response to that court judgment? Will he bring forward the legislation on the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty more quickly than originally proposed? I understand it is a short Bill and it would help Ireland's cases against the Sellafield plant if it was enacted. The treaty on non-proliferation could be used as another basis for a legal challenge. Will the Taoiseach speed up the introduction of that Bill?
The Taoiseach: The Bill contains 20 heads and work is progressing. The heads are expected to be finalised in January or February and although that is a few months away, work is progressing quickly.
Mr. Gormley: What about the MOX plant? The Government does not care about Sellafield.
Mr. G. Mitchell: The VHI was given approval in February for an increase of 6.25% and a further 9% in July. During the passage of the Bill relating to health insurance, the Minister prom[272] ised to introduce health insurance regulations to give effect to equalisation, which affects both BUPA and the VHI. Given that there will be a 15% increase today in costs—
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy must ask about the legislation.
Mr. G. Mitchell: I am referring to the legislation. The increase may result in a further 4% increase in VHI and BUPA costs.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is making comments.
Mr. G. Mitchell: Will the Taoiseach ensure the regulations are introduced next week so that the House will have an opportunity to highlight this issue because a 20% increase in health insurance premia is unacceptable?
The Taoiseach: I am not aware of whether the Minister made that commitment. However, I assume the Deputy is correct and I will raise the matter with the Minister for Health and Children.
Ms Shortall: In view of public concern about the increasingly thuggish behaviour of many bouncers working in nightclubs and pubs around the city and the complete lack of regulation in this area, will the Taoiseach explain the reason for the delay in introducing the Bill relating to private security services? When can we expect Second Stage to be taken?
The Taoiseach: I answered a question on that matter a few weeks ago when I understood the Bill was to be taken in November. The Bill has been circulated and is ready. I will raise the matter with the Whip but the Bill was due to be dealt with in November.
Mr. Quinn: Regarding the abortion referendum Bill, which is still on Second Stage in the House, will the Taoiseach confirm reports in today's newspapers about the conduct of the business relating to it? It has been reported that Second Stage will be guillotined next Tuesday and that, contrary to a commitment given, Committee Stage will not now take place in the Chamber and the Bill will be assigned to a committee of the House.
Mr. G. Mitchell: We were given to understand that Committee Stage of the Bill would be taken in the Chamber and that there would be plenty of time to discuss Second Stage. Will the Taoiseach confirm that extra time will be provided for Second Stage, if necessary, and that Committee Stage will be taken in the House as promised?
The Taoiseach: When Second Stage is concluded next Tuesday night, we will have spent [273] much more time on it than is usual on the Second Reading of a Bill.
Mr. McCormack: It is a very important issue.
The Taoiseach: Yes, and that is why we gave it much more time. Over twice the average time, even for a complex Second Stage debate, has been given to the Bill. It is correct that this time was given to it and we promised that would be done, but it will conclude next Tuesday night. In relation to how Committee Stage is dealt with, as Members are aware, this issue has been around for the past four and a half years in one form or another. I stated that I wanted the Bill concluded by Christmas and I will speak to the Whip about how it will be taken. However, I want the Bill completed in the Oireachtas by Christmas. I gave that commitment and I want to stick to it.
Mr. Quinn: This matter has been the subject of a special Dáil committee and plenary hearings with interested parties. The Bill contains a unique provision whereby the primary legislation will be locked into the Constitution. Once it is enacted, and if it is ratified by the citizens of the Republic, it can never come back to the House. For those reasons, this is not ordinary legislation. It is appropriate in legal and legislative terms that this matter, which is unique in terms of the way it proposes to provide for legislation as distinct from amending the Constitution, is taken in the Chamber. This would enable every Deputy to participate in the debate and also ensure that the media give it the correct level of attention which, due to a lack of resources, it cannot give to the committees.
The Taoiseach is reneging on a fundamental commitment given to all Deputies and parties in the House that there would be an opportunity to tease out and debate the detail of the legislation, as distinct from the proposed amendment of the Constitution, on Committee Stage. I ask the Taoiseach to rethink his reply. My party will sit late if necessary to facilitate the rest of the Government's legislative programme. If time is a factor, we should order extra time to facilitate the type of debate in the Chamber that is required because the matter will never come back to the House.
Mr. Quinn: It will not come back.
Dr. Woods: There will be a Report Stage debate.
Mr. G. Mitchell: I ask the Taoiseach to consider that point. The purpose of the Bill is to amend the Constitution. The House rarely deals with such Bills and if the legislation is sent to a select committee, all Members will not have an opportunity to attend the proceedings, table amendments and debate the Bill in the same way as they would if Committee Stage was taken in the Chamber. In addition, the media do not have [274] the ability to cover all the committees of the House. I ask the Taoiseach to comply with the undertaking that was given and to ensure that the Committee Stage is taken in the Chamber.
The Taoiseach: I have listened to the Deputies' points, but they heard what I said. I want the Bill through before Christmas. Some 35 amendments have been tabled already by the Fine Gael Party and they will take a considerable amount of time to process. The possibility of referring the Bill to a committee is being considered to ensure sufficient time is available for it. Our view is that approximately eight full days could be provided for the Bill if it was dealt with by a committee. I do not see how the same amount of time could be worked into the House's schedule. The media have no problem covering committees and I thank them for that.
Mr. Quinn: We are talking about the lives of Irish women.
The Taoiseach: The media cover committees extensively. They cover all major Bills to the best possible extent and they will certainly cover this Bill. I will talk to the Whip but it is a question of time.
The Taoiseach: The Bill must be completed by Christmas and we can work out the time for the Committee Stage debate. Occasionally Members argue that Bills should be considered by committees so that more time can be given to discussing issues in the House. We are also having difficulty scheduling Friday sittings.
Mr. Quinn: Not from this side of the House.
The Taoiseach: I will speak to the Whip and work out what can be done. However, my position is that I want the Bill passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas by Christmas. I do not care where the Committee Stage debate is taken if adequate time can be provided for it.
Mr. McCormack: On the same issue—
An Ceann Comhairle: We have dealt with it.
Mr. McCormack: It is a relevant question.
An Ceann Comhairle: It is a matter for the Whips.
Mr. Higgins: (Mayo): At a time when jobs in the IT sector are being shed at an alarming rate and young highly qualified and motivated graduates are being let go on a daily basis, many of whom must emigrate again, what is the reason for the delay in introducing the Bill to provide for the establishment of a digital hub agency? This agency is urgently needed and long promised.
[275]The Taoiseach: I understand the Bill is almost complete and is due to be circulated this session. The heads of the Bill were completed approximately four months ago. It is awaiting a drafting session but it should be introduced this session.
Mr. M. Higgins: What legislation is anticipated during the lifetime of the Government in the area of broadcasting, particularly in relation to digitalisation, which we were initially promised would be addressed in the Broadcasting Bill? Will there be separate legislation to deal with broadcasting in the Irish language?
The Taoiseach: The major Bill on that issue has been passed.
Mr. M. Higgins: It did not include what the Government said it would include.
The Taoiseach: I do not think there is another Bill. If there is one, I do not have it listed.
Mr. M. Higgins: There will be no action on broadcasting. Is Bille na Gaeilge for real? Will it be printed in the lifetime of the Government or in anybody's lifetime?
The Taoiseach: The heads of Bille na Gaeilge were approved in June and it was sent for drafting. It will not be ready before Christmas but it should be ready early in the new year.
Mr. M. Higgins: That is the end of that.
Mr. Broughan: In an earlier period in his career, the Taoiseach was the leader of Dublin City Council. It is again facing extinction due to the actions of the city manager.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy should put a question to the Taoiseach.
Mr. Broughan: Is the Taoiseach aware that the Minister for the Environment and Local Government abolished whole tranches of the 1955 city and county managers Act and failed to introduce regulations under the Local Government Act, 2001 which completely hold up Deputies like Deputy Pat Carey and myself on the city council?
The Taoiseach: The Local Government Bill, 2001 has been enacted.
Mr. Bell: At Tuesday's meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts, Members questioned the Secretary General of the Department of the Environment and Local Government on the results of the Supreme Court judgment on refuse collection and asked when legislation would be introduced in this regard. He replied that this was a matter for the Minister. Is it intended to introduce legislation to deal with this matter?
[276]The Taoiseach: The available options are being carefully examined following the Supreme Court decision but no decision has yet been made. People are still liable to charges.
Mr. McCormack: Following on an earlier question, if the Taoiseach insists on sending the constitutional amendment Bill into committee, will all Members be entitled to attend that committee and, if so, will that not be the same as debating the Bill in the House?
An Ceann Comhairle: That is not a matter for the Order of Business.

The Washington Redskins just released a statement from General Manager Bruce Allen on the reports that the team will be docked $36 million in cap space.
Here's how the statement reads:
"The Washington Redskins have received no written documentation from the NFL concerning adjustments to the team salary cap in 2012 as reported in various media outlets. Every contract entered into by the club during the applicable periods complied with the 2010 and 2011 collective bargaining agreements and, in fact, were approved by the NFL commissioner's office. We look forward to free agency, the draft and the coming football season."

National Occupational Exposure Survey Analysis of Management Interview Responses
March 1988
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 89-103
The National Occupational Hazard Survey (NOHS) was conducted during 1972-1974 because of the recognized need for data on occupational health practices in industry and on worker exposure to chemical, physical, or biological agents in the various industries and occupations. While the data from this survey proved to be quite useful, it was obvious by the late 1970's that it had become dated, and did not reflect the substantial changes which had occurred.

Cumberland's Lonnie Thompson begins his 13th season with the Bulldogs and his 17th as a head coach. The Bulldogs posted a 14-13 mark last season with a roster that included 10 newcomers.
Thompson's program has enjoyed unprecedented success, with three national tournament appearances – the only appearances in school history. Five years ago the Bulldogs made their second consecutive trip to Kansas City, becoming the first squad from CU with back-to-back national tournament appearances.
The Woodbury, Ga., native has posted a 204-166 mark at Cumberland with one TranSouth Conference regular season championship and is 280-209 overall as a head coach. Thompson posted his 200th career head coaching victory on February 19, 2009, against Lambuth University in just his 11th year as a head coach.
Thompson came to CU from Motlow State Community College in Tullahoma, Tenn., where he led the Bucks to back-to-back TJCCAA Eastern Division Championships. He was named TJCCAA Eastern Division Coach of the Year three times at Motlow State and was the unanimous selection for 2004 TranSouth Coach of the Year in just his second season in the conference.
That season, he led the Bulldogs to the most wins in school history with a 28-6 record. The 2004 season also saw Thompson capture his 100th career victory as a head coach en route to leading the Bulldogs to the first TranSouth Conference Championship in school history. The program also made the school's first-ever appearance at the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., where they were defeated in the Round of 16.
Cumberland posted a 21-12 overall mark in 2007-08 and made its second appearance in the NAIA National Tournament, falling to Oklahoma City in the first round.
Thompson has a depth of coaching experience at all levels of college basketball, serving as an assistant coach at South Alabama, Middle Tennessee, Tennessee State, Creighton and Odessa Junior College, where he coached former NBA All-Star Larry Johnson.
Lonnie and his wife, Felicia, have two sons, Destin and Darius, and one daughter, Devin, and the family resides in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Thompson received his bachelor's from Middle Tennessee in 1986 and returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach under David Farrar in the mid-90's.

I was born and raised in what is known as the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, home to Kingdom Trails (KT). KT is one of the most popular mountain biking destinations in eastern North America. I still live here with my wife and our 8 year old son, and I am the owner of a bike park design/construction company. After starting mountain biking in the year 2000, my passion sport quickly made it a driving force in my life. Kingdom Trails was my training grounds and since, at the time they only offered XC, that laid the foundation for my skills. My inclination has always been towards gravity/ freeride mountain biking and during my early riding years I traveled far and wide to find the goods. Winter trips to Bootleg Canyon, Virgin, Utah, Whistler, Santa Cruz, etc. opened my eyes to what was possible and built my skills. These experiences also made me realize my home has the terrain to make it a mecca for all disciplines, all we needed to do was build. I combined this new found knowledge with my skills and tools as a builder to start creating freeride features, gravity trails and a local stoke for progressive elements at home. The trails that I pioneered on Burke Mountain have since become a part of the Kingdom Trails and represent the beginning of down-hilling here. My backyard Jumps have achieved legendary status in the Freeride world after being featured in films such as Kranked 7, NWD9 and Aaron Chase's "Hold On Loosely" tour. As my skills progressed as a builder, I gained more and more recognition. People started asking me to build jumps and courses for them, mostly for free at first but in 2010 I became the official designer for all gravity and freeride elements on Kingdom Trails. The only thing I love building and riding but even better than that is seeing the joy my trails bring to others.
Being on the 5 10 team is a dream come true for me, My first pair was the Marzocchi Ninjas and from my very first experience riding with the stealth rubber glueing my feet to the pedals I was sold. I've ridden with the Impacts since then, I love the stickiness and stiffness combined with just the right amount of padding and I look forward to trying some of the many other models now that I'm on the team.

Sampler quilt using fabrics from the first collection in the series from Quilting Treasures, "Under The Rainbow" sepia tones.
I like the mono tone with the pops of color! Very, very nice! Nancy
This is the first fabric collection of 6 in a series from Quilting Treasures. Using the Red Shoes fabric with beige background inspired me to use the coordinating red and adding the Yellow Brick Road accents really brought it all together.
The monkey wrench block in the center at the bottom represents the cyclone that takes Dorothy and Toto away, and the covered bridge block at center top represents showing the way to the Yellow Brick Road.
My pics show one quilt from each collection plus one made with all four current group. The nex t group The Witches Castle is coming out soon and I have them reserved. The last group of the series comes out next year titled There's No Place Like Home.

Hackers managed to compromise the website of Comodo Brazil and extracted sensitive information about the company's SSL certificate customers.
It seems the attack vector used in this case was SQL injection. A partial database dump was posted on pastebin.com Saturday together with information about the vulnerability.
The compromised data includes certificate authority name, email, fax, phone number, order number, certficate request, private key file name and other details.
Customer details like organization names, addresses, telephones, domain names, type of web servers, serial numbers and more, are also included.
There is also a list of what appears to be employee accounts, with @comdobr.com email addresses and hashed passwords. The password for an account called email@example.com (validation@) is listed in plain text.
The password was most likely posted like this intentionally by attackers, because all hashes appear to be unsalted MD5 and are trivial to crack.
This is not the first time when Comodo had security problems with its subsidiaries. Earlier this year an Iranian hacker broke into the network of a Comodo reseller in Italy using SQL injection and stole a password for requesting certficates.
This allowed the attacker to obtain rogue SSL certificates for several high profile domains including mail.google.com, www.google.com, login.yahoo.com, login.skype.com, addons.mozilla.org and login.live.com.
The incident cast serious doubts over the trust chain of the public key infrastructure (PKI) and the practices of SSL certification authorities.
The discussion is still ongoing and major software vendors are searching for solutions to strengthen the certificate verification process and prevent website impersonation in the future.
Following the breach, two more Comodo registration authorities were compromised, prompting the company to announce restrictions for resellers. This new compromise certainly doesn't help its case.

Twins Daily: Offensive hibernation continues in 8-1 loss to Tigers
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins continued their offensive hibernation on Friday night by scoring only one run for the fifth consecutive game in an 8-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
The skinny
Once again, the Twins' offense couldn't shift out of first gear.
Despite putting 10 runners on base through the first six innings, the Twins were only able to score one run off Tigers' right-hander Rick Porcello, who scattered seven hits and three walks while striking out four in 6 1/3 innings.
"We're not getting it done," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Let's just put it that way."
Twins' emergency starter Scott Diamond held the Tigers in check through six innings, but Detroit broke the game open with a three-run seventh.
Ryan Raburn singled to lead off the frame, then Austin Jackson walked with one out, and Magglio Ordonez singled to load the bases, prompting manager Ron Gardenhire to bring in left-hander Glen Perkins. Former Twin Delmon Young swung at the first pitch and dribbled a slow-roller down the third-base line, but Raburn scored and everybody moved up a base when Danny Valencia was unable to make a play.
Perkins fanned Miguel Cabrera for the second out, but Victor Martinez followed with a two-RBI ground rule double, putting the Tigers up 5-1.
Diamond was charged with five earned runs on 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking one. Over his last five starts for Triple-A Rochester, Diamond had allowed 26 earned runs in 24 2/3 innings (9.51 ERA).
"He threw the ball very well," Gardenhire said of Diamond's performance. "I don't know if he ran out of gas there in the seventh inning, but he got himself in a little bit of a jam. Perkins made some pitches. We got a little unlucky on the ball with Delmon."
The Tigers scored their first two runs in the third inning on an RBI infield single by Young and a sacrifice fly by Martinez. Detroit added three more runs in the top of the eighth inning off Lester Oliveros.
Turning point
The Twins had a chance to post a crooked number early on when they loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the second inning.
But Matt Tolbert hit a weak tapper back to the mound, allowing Porcello to start a 1-2-3 double play.
Drew Butera followed with a two-out RBI single to right field, giving the Twins a 1-0 lead, but that was all they'd muster.
Ben Revere was thrown out on a grounder to short, although replays showed he beat the throw.
"The tapper back to the mound by Matty -- it was a cutter inside," Gardenhire said. "We got a run, finally, and then the play at first base, I think Ben was safe. I know Ben was safe. And that could have been another run, then who knows after that? But we didn't get that call. And after that, nothing. ...
"We were a little disappointed with the play at first base. I think that kind of took our mindset away from just about everything else, and then you step back and know that you've got bases loaded, no outs, and that's a chance to put up a crooked number, and we didn't get it done."
Numbers game
1: Week since the Twins have scored more than one run in a game.
3: Groundball double plays hit into by the Twins -- including three in the first three innings.
1: Swinging strikes induced by Diamond in 90 pitches in his first major league start back on July 18.
6: Swinging strikes induced by Diamond on Friday in 91 pitches. "It's definitely been a rollercoaster season, a lot of ups and downs," Diamond said. "I've had a lot of positives, some negatives. It's just to continue to build on the positives and look at it that way. Being up here for the second time now, it's really a great feeling to know that the organization still has confidence in me. ... I love playing here. It's awesome with this crowd."
3: RBI singles by Young, including one off the man he was traded for -- Oliveros. The other two were weak infield singles that likely should have been converted into outs.
24: Stolen bases for Ben Revere.
.250: Danny Valencia's batting average after going 2-for-3 with two singles. This is the first time all year Valencia's batting average reached the .250 mark.
0-for-4: Jim Thome in his first game back with the Cleveland Indians on Friday night. Thome struck out twice and hit cleanup.
Health report
• C Joe Mauer sat out again with neck soreness, but he was available off the bench.
• SS Tsuyoshi Nishioka (oblique) was scratched from the lineup, but was still available if needed. Nishioka estimates he is between 80-90%.
• An MRI on Francisco Liriano's shoulder showed no significant damage. The left-hander will remain on the disabled list for at least two weeks with a shoulder strain.
On deck
On Saturday (3:10 p.m., 1500 ESPN), the Twins are faced with the difficult task of preventing right-hander Justin Verlander (19-5, 2.28) from tallying his 20th victory of the season. Verlander will face right-hander Carl Pavano (6-10, 4.54).
Verlander is on pace to throw 255 innings this season, which would surpass his previous career high of 240 in 2009. Only one time this season has Verlander allowed more than four earned runs in a game, and he has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 25 of his 28 starts.
Pavano has faced Detroit twice in the last five weeks, allowing eight earned runs on 18 hits in 13 innings (5.54 ERA), striking out six and walking three. The right-hander has allowed more hits (205) than any pitcher in baseball, but to help balance that out Pavano owns the seventh-lowest walk rate (1.81 BB/9).
Coming up
• Sunday: vs. Detroit, 1:10 p.m. LHP Brian Duensing (8-13, 5.12) vs. RHP Brad Penny (9-9, 4.82).
• Monday: @ White Sox, 7:10 p.m. RHP Kevin Slowey (0-2, 6.84) vs. LHP Mark Buehrle (10-6, 3.19).
• Tuesday: @ White Sox, 7:10 p.m. RHP Anthony Swarzak (3-4, 3.62) vs. RHP Zach Stewart (1-3, 4.76)

About this Artist
Joel Hunnicutt
"Through careful design and use of color, I strive to give the organic medium of wood the elegance and luminosity of glass."
Joel Hunnicutt's work goes beyond traditional woodturning. This artist crafts gracefully shaped vessels that recreate the free-flowing feeling of glass in wood. His bold colors paired with classic forms offer a delightful surprise for the senses. The play of light through open segments in many of his pieces makes for a fascinating display in any room.
Hunnicutt is a self-taught wood artist who uses "segmented" construction as a primary design tool. This process involves the precise cutting of many small pieces of wood, often three or more species, and then assembling them into a rough form, which then is turned to shape on a wood lathe. This technique enables Hunnicutt to design shapes that would be extremely difficult or impossible to create from solid wood.
Hunnicutt typically finishes his pieces in lacquer. Often he uses dyes and inks to transform these turned shapes into a rainbow of color.» View the full artist page of Joel Hunnicutt

Under a presidential decree put into effect last month, the distribution and exploitation of surface water resources throughout the vast Lerma-Chapala watershed will henceforth be managed under a formalized set of regulations that ostensibly provide a legal shield for Mexico's largest lake.
The document published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on April 8 establishes a ban on the issuance of new permits for surface water use anywhere within 19 catchment areas located the Lerma-Chapala hydrological region. It also sets a per annum ceiling of 5.12 billion cubic meters (5,122.9 Mm3) on the total volume of allowable extractions, including liquid lost to evaporation.
Technical studies indicate that demand for surface water exceeds availability by an average of 677 Mm3 each year. To counteract the deficit, the regulatory code spells out specific terms to be applied to all users currently entitled to surface water allotments, including irrigation farmers who suck up the largest portion of water resources.
Yearly usage quotas follow mathematical formulas based on seasonal measurements of precipitation and calculations on the amount of water stored in reservoirs and Lake Chapala at the start and finish of each rainy season. Severe cutbacks will be applied if the lake falls to around 15 percent holding capacity on June 1 or stands at 25 percent or less on November 1.
However, lake experts suggest that the decree lacks vigilance and enforcement guidelines that might have put real teeth into the water management agreements and policies that have been followed on a goodwill basis since 1989.

One verse caught my attention which went like this:"He spoke with General Custer and said listen Yellow HairThe Sioux are a great nation so treat 'em fair and squareSit in on their war councils, don't laugh away their prideBut Custer didn't listen, at Little Big Horn Custer died"I was curious about whether a) Bridge was still alive at the time of LBH and b) if Bridger had ever met GAC. I did a Google and found that "Old Gabe" died in 1881. Just out of curiousity I took a look at the Wikopedia entry for Jim. Of all things, they have this at the end of the entry:"Jim Bridger also had a relationship with the Sioux, and respected them. When General Custer was in Talks with the Sioux Indians, Bridger told Custer to treat them with respect, because of how strong their nation is. General Custard did not heed Jim Bridgers advice, and at the battle of Little Big Horn, General Custard fell in Battle."Hmmmmm So, I will go to you guys. Is there a record of any contact between Bridger and Custer?Best of wishes,Billy

On Hayden Panettiere's role in "Nashville" (Panettiere has said she modeled her character after Underwood):
"I'm not like that at all. It's juicy, but I hope not everybody thinks that everything goes down like that in Nashville, and we're evil. To be honest, I've been fortunate enough to work with other types of music -- and we're the least drama-rific people."

Golf Classic 2014
On September 15, 2014, PCOM held our 22nd Annual Golf Classic, Title Sponsored by
Independence Blue Cross, at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill, PA.
The sunny weather made it a perfect day to play for 21 foursomes through this wonderful
course. In the four person scramble, 1st place went to Jamie Dugery, RJ Poper, Steve Murtaugh, and Anthony Ripanti. In 2nd place came the foursome of An Tran, Dan Borelli, J.T. Hutchinson, and Zach Bullock.
Finally, in 3rd place came the group of Richard Haverstick, George Peppier, James Solano, and John
This year we raised over $98,000 for our healthcare centers. These funds will provide
critical health services to underserved and at-risk populations in North and West
Philadelphia, Roxborough, Wynnefield Heights and Laporte, PA in rural Sullivan County.
Many families who visit our Centers are underinsured for the care they need and with
few healthcare options, they depend on our Centers for essential medical and mental
health needs. Everyone who participated in our outing made a difference in the lives
of these families.
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and the sponsors and in-kind donors
who made this all possible. A special thank-you to our Golf Chair James Bonner, DO

Madelaine is a confectionery known for its stunning chocolate facsimiles, especially it's roses. So I was excited to sample their attractive and tempting High Roller Milk Chocolate Poker Chips. A cool idea, but do they hold up?
A really good game of poker is played out in nuances—tense rounds of betting drawn out through sly bluffs and counterbluffs designed to test the bravado of the seasoned players and milk the rubes for all they're worth. To do this properly, you need a wide variety of chips. Unfortunately, Madelaine only includes two varieties in its "High Roller" set, 5's and 25's. I'd get a real kick out of playing poker with chocolate chips, (especially since it would keep the meager pile that passes as my savings safe from the hawkish talons of the conniving grifters who pass for my friends), but with only two chips to chose from (and with no difference between them!) there's little incentive for really competitive play. The chocolates are decent, but suffer from the dreaded "Christmas chocolate" syndrome, a cheap, vaguely minty taste that leaves a lot to be desired.
So here's a proposal, Madelaine; get serious about your poker chips! Think how popular (and expensive) a full set of chips might be (1's, 5's, 10's, 25's, etc), especially if each variety offered something different relative to its token value. Save the "Christmas chocolate" for your 1's, make the 5's a nice milk, the 10's a decadent dark, the 25's marzipan or caramel filled. Eh? How 'bout it? Just remember, you read it here first…
You don't have to be a high-roller to afford these chips from Candy.com

EVANS MILLS Residents of LeRay will have a chance to hear about the towns proposed new zoning law at a public hearing scheduled for 6 tonight at the Evans Mills Fire Department, 8615 LeRay St.
Among the bigger changes proposed is a consolidation of zoning districts within the town.
Its a lot simpler, said Jessica L. Jenack, the towns community development coordinator and one of the organizers of the committee charged with forming recommendations for the rules.
She said the creation of a new zoning law coincides with the towns comprehensive plan, approved in 2010. The changes have been in development for months, with the committee members representing departments across the town. The last time the zoning rules were crafted was in the 1980s, Mrs. Jenack said, with a few minor local laws passed since then.
Other changes would increase the clarity of rules about signs, while others would clarify commercial design regulations already on the books.
The town previously sought input about the zoning changes last fall, and Mrs. Jenack said the town has received a few concerns that officials reviewed in the months since that meeting.
This will be the opportunity for them to see what weve done, and provide more input, she said.
Representatives from Rochester-based Bergmann Associates, which crafted the draft documents, also will attend to discuss their work.
A copy of the proposed zoning rules can be viewed at http://wdt.me/LeRay-zoning-draft.

Vince M
It all started when I was 13 years old, when I was beginning to recovering from cancer. One week before my dad died I started to think I'm gay, I had no reason at all to think this. After my dad died I went to talk to my doctor and asked him for a counsellor and he told me he knew one. They all thought it was because of my father's death but it wasn't.
I started to have a few sessions with him every one week because it developed into an obsession. In fact, he diagnosed me with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and I do think he was right to this day because I want everything around me to be perfect. He prescribed me some medications and I admit, they did help me to calm down but the thoughts were still there. I was able to ignore them and continue a little bit with my life till I was 15. At this time of age I was considering suicide and for those of you who are reading this, I don't regret it at all.
I went to talk to my guidance counsellor at my school and she really helped me. I talked to her almost every day and she has become like my best friend. When I started to speak with her summer was around the corner and school was about to finish. I started to struggle with this obsession again and this time, I was able to talk with someone I could really enjoy talking to. Even though she told me I should give myself some time to see where things would go and that there is nothing wrong with being gay I still kept saying to myself that I didn't want to be gay.
This change altogether when one night, I was talking to a guy, who happened to be gay himself. I told him how I was feeling. I even told him that I couldn't see myself with another man, not kissing him nor sleeping with him. Then, he asked me this: "Could this be because you have never been around gays or perhaps because you were ever brought up thinking that even gay people can have a normal, successful life with a partner who they love and who he/she loves them back?" From that moment on I just knew I was gay.
After a few months, I came out to one of my sisters and also my mother. I have two other sisters but I never did come out to them (I don't really know why). I just told them to take me to a gay bar and they discovered I am gay on their own. However, I haven't told my brother yet. We don't get along that well and I just don't feel the time is right.
Anyway, so far everything is going well. I have found many people who have accepted me just as I am. Another thing, I am feeling a whole lot better now that I have accepted myself. And I'm not afraid to say it: I am a proud gay guy!

hats off 2 u, did a great job in such a small space. infact a bird's eye view….
Do keep us updating wid such invaluable keys…

India needs a vibrant embedded software exporting market,so that we can employ a lot of young minds in them. but it seems that our efforts are far less than expected.actually our so called biggies don't pay attention to this area. 2 big companies TCS and INFY don't pay attention into this untapped area,which can be tapped by our rivals with their big market in hand.indian companies don't need to employ separate employees for this sector as they recruit huge number of electronics students and they need to be trained only.
hope CEO of any big company will look into this matter after reading my comments.
February 18, 2014 at 6:07 am
I think the big companies are worried about the training to be given to the recruited students, since the culture of education in our country has been theoretical.
November 19, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Honeywell , Delphi , Bosch, Satyam , CDAC Can be included in the list.
I agree to the point of India being lagging in Embedded Designs
We have some more embedded goodies lying in Open Source…
November 30, 2009 at 10:51 am
plz tell me which course is good for embedded companys and from where ?
December 4, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Are you a Family Feud fan too? Even a lot of kids are familiar with this show. And if not, they still catch on pretty fast. It is a great game to see how well they paid attention to a Bible book you have studied.
Playing Family Feud:
During each team round: One person from each team comes up. The emcee tells what the category is. The first of the two to respond guesses for the top answer on the list. If the first person did not get the top answer, the second guesses once to try to get a higher answer. The winner gets to choose whether their team plays or passes to the other team to play. The team that plays guesses until they get all the answers or they get three strikes. If there are still answers left, then the other team can steal the points by getting one of the remaining answers. It is referred to as "Sweeping the board" if a team gets all the answers.
What I have included here are results of Bible surveys. The TV game show goes out and surveys one hundred people about some question (What food would you take on a picnic?) and then puts the top responses on the board. My methodology was to come up with categories or questions to research in a Bible book or the entire Bible and find out what the top answers were. I will not include all possible answers. For instance if the category were people mentioned in 1st Kings. There are certain people (Saul, David) who would be mentioned many times, possibly hundreds. There would also be many people who are only mentioned once or twice. The total list of people would run into the hundreds. To limit it to the top five or six, I might choose some cutoff (maybe all those mentioned more than 20 times).
The lists below will show Categories, the associated book of the Bible, the version, the prompting statement, and the top answers with their number of responses. Sometimes I will put in parentheses any extra answers that folded in to one (Such as counting rams and ewes as sheep rather than as separate answers). In that case, I would count any of those answers the same. I used various search programs to get the number of responses. Though most of my puzzles are in NIV, a lot of these are New American Standard because I have a search program for that version.
You can help! These lists all have spreadsheets backing them up. I tried to think of all the possibilities, but naturally I could miss something. Many items do not appear on this list simply because they do not rate. But if you think there is something missing that should be rated among the top, please drop me a line at email@example.com (mentioning puzzle in the subject line). Thanks.
