Those facets of economic freedom for which data are still available have been individually scored. As a "repressed" economy with a score of 35.9, Libya was ranked last in the Middle East/North Africa region when it was last graded in the 2012 Index.Before the downfall of the Qadhafi regime in 2011, the weak rule of law and systemic corruption had largely marginalized private-sector activity in the formal economy. Libya, overly dependent on the oil sector, had undertaken only limited reforms to diversify its economy.Libya's near-term challenge is to ensure a peaceful political transition while maintaining macroeconomic stability. The government needs to stabilize the economic environment and implement much-needed reforms following the revolution. The economic infrastructure was significantly degraded during the civil war, and economic uncertainty remains very high as the weak interim government struggles to restore the rule of law and establish a new system of effective governance. Read more about Libya Economy. Close Background After the 2011 overthrow of dictator Muammar Qadhafi by rebels backed by the U.N. Security Council and a NATO bombing campaign, elections were held in July 2012. The new government led by President Mohammed Magarief and Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has struggled to rein in fiercely independent militias fighting for control of territory and resources. Oil and natural gas provide about 80 percent of GDP, 95 percent of export revenues, and 99 percent of government revenues. Economic recovery, which began in 2012, has been driven by the energy sector, which is producing at pre-war levels. The government faces major challenges in disarming and demobilizing militias, imposing the rule of law, and reforming the state-dominated socialist economy. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 10.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 18.3 Create a Graph using this measurement Corruption has long been pervasive in the private sector and in government. The fall of the Qadhafi regime raised some hopes that the level of graft would decline, but oil interests, foreign governments, smuggling groups, and armed militias often still wield undue influence, especially in the South, and opportunities for corruption abound in the absence of effective fiscal, judicial, and commercial institutions. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 0.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 95.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The top individual income tax rate has fallen to 10 percent, and the top corporate tax rate remains 20 percent. A 4 percent surcharge for the "Jihad" fund is applied to corporations. Oil revenues have helped to bolster public finances even though taxation has been enforced only erratically since the beginning of 2011. The overall tax burden is about 1 percent of GDP. Public expenditures are around 67 percent of GDP. Libya has no public debt. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 50.1 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 77.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 66.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Regulatory efficiency is very poor, and only limited private entrepreneurial activity has been successful. Application of regulations is inconsistent and non-transparent. The labor market remains destabilized, and the informal sector is large.

CBS and Nielsen Prove Power of Local Cross-media Measurement
New York – April 7, 2014 – Nielsen and CBS announced the results of the first ever proof of concept (POC) for local television plus radio audience measurement. Leveraging Nielsen's proprietary local television and audio panels, Nielsen and CBS collaborated to demonstrate the additive power of combining media buys for major advertising campaigns. The POC combined audience data from CBS' local TV and radio assets in order to build a foundation that measured combined and unduplicated reach across both media. Nielsen intends to open participation in the pilot across a wider group of clients to further strengthen cross-media selling models.
Creating a measurable foundation gives advertisers using marketing mix models as a basis for their media planning the tools they need to accurately account for how local television and radio together contribute to driving sales. This POC begins the conversation into the data needed by those models to correctly value local television and radio.
In some cases, using local television and radio together doubled the reach in certain markets. In the five markets measured in the POC, an advertiser could reach anywhere from 84 percent to as high as 93 percent of all adults 18+ within a month by leveraging local television and radio together. Advertisers would be able to see the benefits of combining the buying of these media and dayparts together. For instance, combining television prime time and late news all week with morning drive on weekdays, an advertiser could reach 75 percent of A18-49 in Boston within four weeks. In this example, a local media buy could make sense for fast food advertisers. Full results of the study will be presented at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show on Tuesday, April 8 "Local Measurement: All Media/All Users/All the Time."
Using data from October 2013 in five key CBS markets, the POC fused Nielsen Audio's Portable People Meter listening data with Nielsen's Local People Meter television data. Matching consumers across the two panels in each of these markets allowed for modeling cross-platform media consumption. By finding characteristics common across both Nielsen's audio and television panels in each of these markets, the listening behavior was ascribed to those panelists with known viewing behavior.
Integrating measurement of reach, frequency and ultimately sales response across both local television and radio platforms will benefit the industry as a whole. POC test results will inform Nielsen's cross-media product development strategies, expand local media planning analytics by contributing more robust inputs for marketing mix modeling.

Rare Creature Causing Construction Hold-Up in Williamson Co.
A small creature is causing construction concerns in Williamson county. TDOT crews are working around an unusual hold-up on a project to widen a portion of Concord Road. The Mill Creek and Owl Creek waters are home to the endangered Nashville Crayfish. Its the only place in the entire world you can find them.The crustacean is protected under law, which means during mating season, between October and May, construction crews can't work in or around the crayfish habitats.
In the meantime, TDOT crews will be working around the creeks as they add a third lane to Concord Road. The expansion project is expected to be completed by summer of 2016.

My favorite veggies to grow are tomato, eggplant & peppers -all in the same family. The best practice is to rotate the same family to be in the same spot every 3-4 years. That is not practical since a big portion of my garden every year is the same. I understand this is to avoid diseases as well as provide proper nutrients. I have been using a well composted horse manure, alfalfa pellets & compost to fertilize and then hope for the best...which seems to work but I wonder if any of you have some wisdom /advice to share as I plan for 2014? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its one of those examples where theory meets practicality. I try to 'rotate' by planting something different in each spot each year, but at the most, its a 3 year cycle, and many years, I plant things in the same beds over and over again because the bed conditions are ideal for that plant - say winter squash - it always gets planted in the bed where there's room for the vines to run. I've found that most of the diseases and such can be avoided by heavy mulches so there isn't any splash up on the plants, and trying to water so the leaves don't get wet. The only problem I've had is potatoes. Way too much disease in the soil to plant them successfully. |

Astronomers love a good mystery. At this time of year there's no better one than the Star of Bethlehem. "It's pretty fascinating," says Kevin Schindler, outreach manager for Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.
"There's no agreement on what the Star of Bethlehem may have been. It's kind of like a detective story."
The star and its origins are the subject of Holiday Skies, a star-gazing program this weekend at Lowell Observatory.
"It's sort of a general introduction to what is up in the night sky, but it's a little more than that," says Schindler. "We also go into the mythology of these stars and constellations and focus on the Star of Bethlehem."
In the Bible, the Star of Bethlehem guided the Magi to the baby Jesus and his family. Christians have long considered the star a sign from God marking Jesus' birth.
To solve this mystery astronomers have turned to historical records to identify the star's origins, sometimes crossreferencing Christian records with those of the Chinese or other non-Christian cultures.
In the early days Haley's Comet was considered a candidate but quickly discounted. Other theories speculate that ancient sky watchers might have seen an exploding star, a supernova or a conjunction (this is when two or three planets appear close together for a brief period of time). "Visitors will learn some religious history and hear stories you wouldn't expect to hear in an observatory," says Schindler.
But the mythology is put into a scientific context, and that may be controversial for some visitors. "We're certainly not here to argue with anybody or get into a fight over interpretations," says Schindler. "Scientific evidence is what we are presenting."

The Hitokoo 'Bling!' series provides an adorable alternative to real diamonds. The line is designed by Hitokoo founder, the Hamilton-based fashion artist Hitoko Okada. The necklaces use fabric jewels in place of real diamonds, and as the label describes, the Bling! series is a playful exploration of society's, "issues of consumption as a cultural obsession for acquisitions of status and luxury."
Okada hand-makes these clusters of gems using screen-printing and hand stitching. Each necklace is then finished off by being delicately placed in a cutely packaged box that also contains the artist's statement. The necklaces come in a variety of bright colors making them great statement pieces with an important message to share about what people place value upon. For approximately $75 US, the Bling! series is much more affordable and realistic to purchase than a diamond.

Sorry, man...that's their site and there don't seem to be a lot of download mirrors out there for them. What distro do you use? There may be a binary download at rpmfind.net or one of the other sites.
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Guv to agrarian office: Clarify order on Carp coverage
-A A +AWednesday, July 18, 2012
NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said on Tuesday the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) should clarify its order regarding the issuance of the notice for lands covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (Carp).
DAR's publication of the notice of coverage is in relation to the Joint DAR–Land Registration Authority (LRA) Memorandum Circular No. 17 issued on December 2011 that requires the LRA to annotate a notice of Carp coverage on the land titles of covered lands upon DAR's issuance of such notice of coverage to the landowners.
Marañon said the notice with annotation is very arbitrary and illegal, that's why numerous land owners are against the move and they filed a temporary restraining order against it.
Land owners slammed what they perceive as the high-handed manner by which DAR will compel the Register of Deeds to annotate the notice of Carp coverage on their lands titles based solely on the notice of coverage sent to land owners.
They also scored DAR for apparently hiding the existence of the joint DAR-LRA memo from them. While the memo was signed on December 2011, it was not until after the first quarter of this year that the land owners learned about the memo.
Land owners in the province assailed the DAR-LRA memo as confiscatory.
However, during his visit to Bacolod City Friday last week, Agrarian Secretary Virgilio De los Reyes insisted that it is not confiscatory. He said DAR was forced to resort to this measure, because land owners used to ignore the notices sent to them before.
It is not taking away the lands from them, as it is just a notice, De los Reyes said.
Such annotation, according to DAR, should serve notice to all and sundry that such land is subject to compulsory acquisition and distribution under Carp.
Delos Reyes said land owners, though they have received notice of Carp coverage of their lands, can still protest the Carp coverage. He assured that land owners will also be given due process if they want to contest the coverage.
Meanwhile, Marañon also hoped for the realization of the P300-million loan to be extended by the Land Bank of the Philippines to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in the province. This loan was announced by De los Reyes during his visit to the province last week.
He pointed out that ARBs need the support program from the government, as DAR also committed lapses in implementing the Carp.

What gauge of wire would be best for the S-shaped
decorative ornament hangers? I need to be able to shape it into a curly S and I would like for it to be sturdy enough to hang ornaments without pulling out of shape. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
I made a candy cane with 20 gauge tonight & it was green floral wire & it is pretty stiff but would depend on how heavy your ornaments are. I think to be safe better to get 18 gauge, that is what I use as stem on flowers & can shape way you want & they won't get out of shape. Probably can get it in the green but don't know if in gold. Maybe on those paddles. Jan |
- Posted by kudzukween (My Page) on Mon, Dec 22, 08 at 6:36
I used 18 gauge, it works great. As a matter of fact....I totally forgot I made those hangers til yesterday morning!! It immediately made me so tired to think about it!! I spent a few hours putting them on the tree, and they are the perfect for any kind of weight, but a little small. Some of my ornaments are heavier glass. If you want the ornament hanger to be seen as part of the tree decorations, I'd make them longer than the 5" I made mine. You can't see most of them. I didn't have my tree up when I started making mine, and did them the size stated on the sites I saw. Oh, and I curled the ends with my small needle-nose pliers BEFORE I shaped the wire around into an "S" shape. Use something round to wrap it around for your "S" shape, I used paint pens, a screwdriver handle, paint brush handle, just find something the size you like, this makes it faster and keeps the shape uniform on each one. |
18 gauge it is! I am not making them for this years tree, but next year I am replacing all those nasty bent up hooks that have been on the ornies for years. My tree is very short needled so I will try the 5" first then graduate up until they can be seen. Thanks for the advise. Judy |

Located among forests and meadows on a ridge above Fraser Valley, this mountain lodge is constructed from 400-year-old logs, with light-toned wood lining the ceilings and floors.

Recommendation 2010-1, "Agency Procedures for Considering Preemption of State Law," addresses issues relating to agency procedures for complying with Federal requirements regarding consultation with State and local governments and for considering State interests in rulemakings that may result in the preemption of State law. The goal of the recommendation is not to favor or disfavor preemption, but to improve agency procedures in potentially preemptive rulemakings. The recommendation reiterates a previous Conference recommendation that Congress clearly state its preemptive intent in the text of the statutes it charges Federal agencies with implementing. It recommends that agencies formulate appropriate internal procedures to ensure consultation with representatives of State interests and to ensure that agencies evaluate the authority and basis asserted in support of a preemptive rulemaking. It seeks to increase transparency regarding internal agency policies and recommends ways to improve external mechanisms for enforcing the applicable Federal requirements.

Two dance-oriented twelve-inches that have come my way are just as meritorious. Dyonis, the brainstorm of producer Justin Hardison, utilizes drum-and-bass techniques but avoids many of the cliches that have come to typify this subgenre. "New Day" supplements brittle rhythms with synthesized riffing, vocal sampling and other sonic curveballs, "Tropic" has one of the more unconventional sonic foundations you'll hear, and "Camouflage" provides straight-up techno/disco for the happy-feet crowd. Strong stuff (available in area record stores). A venture from Terraform, the namesake act of Terraform Records, the imprint run by John Chamie, is more deliberate. "Vandal" and "Nickel-Plated" are slow-builders that use dub and drum-and-bass in a minimalist manner that bridges the gap between ambient and dance. An intriguing experiment (784-4841).
Nobodys vs. Pinhead Circus, a split single that pairs (honest) the Nobodys and Pinhead Circus, won't shock you with its freshness, but punk loyalists will approve. The former excels on "Headache," a weighty riff orgy, and sticks to formula on "I Don't Need Your Love" and "I Don't Like You"; the latter packs "You Don't Say" and "No Time at All" with just enough spontaneity and snottiness (Soda Jerk Records, P.O. Box 4056, Boulder 80306). Also sharing a 45 are Acrobat Down and the Blast-Off Heads, and both acts acquit themselves well. The Heads add a bongo beat to modern rock on "Waxed," go in a tuneful direction on the fragmentary "Blizzak," and chant like drunken soccer buffs on "Fraidy Cat." Acrobat Down, meanwhile, gets ambitious on "#12--The Rumbleseat Dream" and "#7--Pissboy anti-boss song," a complex pop suite that fills several minutes with glorious racket (Stact Musicalities, P.O. Box 104, Denver 80201-0104).
The Minders' Paper Plane platter is another strong offering from Denver's Elephant 6 Records. Singer-songwriter Martyn Leaper is in top form on the title track, which is accentuated by appropriate sound effects, ringing guitar and a heavenly hook. Just as impressive are "Sally," a gem that would do Ray Davies proud, and "Big Machine," a flimsy but delectable confection. To hear them is to love them (The Elephant 6 Recording Co., P.O. Box 18326, Denver 80218). In the same mode is Dressy Bessy, a promising act that includes former 40th Day vocalist Tamee Ealom and John Hill of the Apples. "Ultra Vivid Color," "Fuzzy" and "Said You Would" are jangly and beguiling--the opposite of slick. It's not music that will reach out and grab you by the throat, but who would want that to happen? Not me (Little Dipper Records, P.O. Box 18652, Denver 80218).
Finally, "Luminous Crush"/"Helios," by Space Team Electra, produced by Keith Cleversley and issued by Cleversley's Luminous Records firm, begs this question: Why the hell isn't this group signed to a major label yet? The A-side is a beautiful mood piece that's drenched in feedback and shot through with intensity; it builds to a stirring conclusion. The flip, for its part, is considerably more psychedelic and not nearly as accessible, but the emoting of Myshel Prasad and her associates does more than reward repeated listens: It demands them. Guess that means I liked it (Luminous Records, 2044 West Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60612).
Speaking of Space Team Electra (which I think I was doing in the previous paragraph), the group's Greg Fowkes is now running the Blue Satellite, at 3242 East Colfax. The venue (formerly Across the Street) will be featuring live music that falls into the acoustic or jazz camps. Interested performers are encouraged to ring the Satellite at 377-6300 to learn more.
Greater knowledge is only a phone call away. On Friday, October 31, Concentrated Evil visits the dark side at the Cricket, with Blister and Suffer Structure; Mosh Pit Records brings together Last Supper, Godless Promise Mechanism, Victory Boy and many others for its seventh annual Halloween bash, at Pure Energy in Colorado Springs; Fatal Erection wilts at the Bug Theater in support of San Francisco's Subarachnoid Space and the aforementioned Terraform; Brethren Fast and the Vermicious Knids run roughshod at Herman's Hideaway; David Mallett hammers at Cameron Church; Big Town Seven plays for the first of two nights at 9th Avenue West; Preacherman and the Congregation worship at the Moontime, in Nederland; and Jorge Santana (brother of Carlos) headlines at the Mammoth Events Center. On Saturday, November 1, Herman's celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with the help of the Dogs of Pleasure and Wendy Woo; the Colorado Players for Peace Band, featuring Westword profile subject Jeffrey Marshall, stops by the Tivoli Student Union (details can be had at 322-2521); Freak Hungre chows down at the Dickens Opera House in Longmont, with the Girls; Zeut visits the Market Street Lounge; and the Colorado Friends of Old Time Music and Dance present a swing night at the Mercury Cafe. On Monday, November 3, the Mighty Blue Kings get mighty blue at the Bluebird. And on Tuesday, November 4, Shankis introduces a new CD, Tales From Lonvernia, at the Fox Theatre, and the Offspring are joined at the Mammoth by Good Riddance and One Hit Wonder. Who are just asking for trouble with a name like that.

Slain Monroe prison guard's family files lawsuit
The family of Jayme Biendl contends that system failures helped the inmate commit murder.
The Daily Herald reports that the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Snohomish County Superior Court is the first time Biendl's family has publicly criticized the department and former Monroe Correctional Complex Superintendent Scott Frakes.
Corrections Department spokeswoman Norah West declined comment.
The lawsuit blames the state and Frakes for not doing enough to protect Biendl. It says it was "highly predictable" that safety lapses in the prison "would cause harm to employees."
Byron Scherf has been sentenced to die for the killing but is appealing his conviction.
When Biendl died, Scherf was serving a life sentence for his violent attacks against women.

Baptist imaging, lab services expand to local clinics
Baptist Health Paducah's outpatient imaging and laboratory services have expanded to new locations.
Baptist Imaging Center offers X-ray and bone density services at Four Rivers Internal Medicine at 3131 Parisa Drive, just off Jackson Street.
Baptist Imaging also offers imaging services at The Cecil Clinic and Dallas Medical. In addition, Baptist provides laboratory services at The Cecil Clinic.
Images are sent from the off-campus locations electronically to radiologists at Baptist Health Paducah for immediate results. "Just as we provide same-day results for Baptist Imaging Center," said radiologist Bradley Williams, M.D., "patients in these walk-in clinics will get timely and expert results from our team of board-certified radiologists."
Betty Brown, supervisor of Baptist Imaging, said the expansion into other locations offers convenience. "You can get radiology services without an appointment, as long as you have a doctor's order," she said.
Similarly, the outpatient lab services on campus and at The Cecil Clinic offer a walk-in service and timely results. "For blood work or other laboratory services, people will find these two locations to be a convenient option with quick results," said Debbie Taffer, director of laboratory services.
A physician's order is needed for any diagnostic test.

Carbon floor price folly
PUBLISHED: 17 Jul 2012 00:02:44 | UPDATED: 17 Jul 2012 03:07:15PUBLISHED: 17 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 17 Jul 2012Dirk Forrister and Emile Abdurahma
At a recent round table hosted by the International Emissions Trading Association, representatives from both business and government supported an emissions trading scheme as the best way to meet Australia's objectives in climate change mitigation.
But they found the imposition of a floor price for carbon in the Clean Energy Act highly contentious.
In a recent article, "Carbon price floor crucial to its aims" (AFR, July 5), Frank Jotzo, Erwin Jackson, Tony Wood and Cameron Hepburn contended that it was important that the "market worked to meet its national interest objective: to start the transition to a lower-carbon economy"; and that "letting the carbon price fall to single digits would compromise incentives to make low-carbon investments, compound uncertainty in the energy sector and increase the cost of cutting emissions".
However, Jotzo et al seem to forget that climate change mitigation is about more than national ambition. It is a global ambition. It requires co-operation with our trading partners and establishing a framework for meeting carbon goals, while growing Australia's energy exports.
The implementation of a floor price runs at odds with Australia's aspirations to grow international trading. That is why most participants preferred an option of accelerating global market access, and embracing free-market pricing.
Enabling emissions reductions through international units will provide headroom for economic growth and align Australia's emissions cost structure with our international trading partners.
So why pay excessive costs of a fixed price of $23 to $25 a tonne for three years – then $15 a tonne thereafter? Why not accelerate the move to international markets, where prices are now below $10 a tonne?
An artificially set floor means that the domestic carbon price risks becoming a subsidy for national interest rather than its discipline. Australia has faced protectionist arguments before and they rarely serve us well.
Australia's comparative advantage is its significant investment and sustainable operations in the global tradeable energy resources industry.
Our national prosperity and terms of trade will grow increasingly reliant on the international trading and pricing of our resources, especially with exports into Asia.
The World Bank estimates we are going to require 516 to 613 million tonnes of abatement between 2015 and 2020 to meet our energy production trajectory.
Australia should be sourcing and incentivising this abatement globally for the lowest prices, regardless of where that abatement takes place, as long as the emissions reductions are genuine.
Our participation in Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects – 84 per cent of which are sponsored by our major trading partners China, India and South Korea – are the natural mechanism by which we can align our fossil fuel comparative advantage with international strategies for climate change mitigation. And it positions us as a partner in Asian countries' long-term transformation strategies to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Jotzo et al state that international prices do not reflect efficient climate policy or the long-term value of reducing emissions, though they offer little evidence on what constitutes the real cost of emissions reduction outside the CDM.
A severe economic downturn is prompting a decline in carbon prices in the world's largest carbon market in the European Union. But current EU prices should not be taken in isolation: over its eight-year life, prices have ranged from less than €7 to more than €30.
The EU carbon market price reflects Europe's own complexities. Beyond the effects of recession, the price is dampened further by renewable energy and efficiency incentives.
These programs were put in place not only for carbon mitigation but also to correct the upward trend in Europe's energy dependency.
Since 2004, Europe's net imports of energy have been greater than its primary production.
Australia is in a different situation to the EU. It is a net exporter of energy. With ambitions to expand its energy exports, Australia must ensure that the cost of carbon mitigation is kept as low as possible. This can be done in three steps: end the fixed-price phase early; allow liable entities to access global carbon markets immediately; and eliminate the floor price.
Linking our own transformation to our Asian trading partners through the current CDM will manage our transition at the appropriate pace and scale.
In so doing, we integrate their climate change mitigation efforts with our own. We also facilitate the inevitable replacement of the CDM with a much larger global framework in 2020.
We can best achieve this by promoting international trading and carbon pricing.
Dirk Forrister is president and chief executive of the International Emissions Trading Association, and Emile Abdurahman is executive director, Morgan Stanley Commodities.

I have a dark yellow brugmansia, that I bought at Lowes several years ago. It has always bloomed dark yellow, except in December and January, then color is much lighter. This is my first brugmansia plant to bloom this year. My question is could the freeze last winter cause the color to change? It is now two toned, striped, yellow and white, I took a picture. Linda, thought it was very pretty, but I just can't figure out why the color would change. There were two blooms and both were the same. I took a picture and will post it so you can see. I need to figure out how to put the pictures in my photobucket. I also took a few other pictures of plants that were in bloom this week. Barbra |
Follow-Up Postings:
Barbra, I have my noid yellow-gold that has done that. The first time I saw a couple of blooms with the white stripes, I was very pleased with myself, as if I had anything to do with it, LOL! It's already had a huge flush, but yesterday, I noticed that now a few new blooms are pale yellow to white. I am assuming it's the weather. Also, MM has blotches of light to white and not so much dark pink as in the past. I forgot what Karyn calls it when they are like that (variegated like). Photobucket is very easy. Do you already have an account -- it's free. Once I download a copy of my pix into my computer (I put it on my desk top), I log onto PB and towards the top middle, just click to download you photo. Somewhere here in GW are some great instructions on it. |

Well I finanlly got instructions so I can post the picture, I always thought this was a Charles Grimaldi, I bought it at Lowes about 5 years ago, it has always been solid dark gold yellow, what a diffrence. |

That's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it - whatever caused it, that was a GOOD thing. |
Looks like a Star Fish!!!! i like it...LOL |

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The LORD's word came to me: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 Human one, there were two women, daughters of one woman. | 2 "Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. |
3 When they were girls in Egypt, they began to prostitute themselves by allowing their young and nubile breasts to be touched and fondled. | 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. |
4 The older sister was named Oholah, and the younger sister was named Oholibah. They became mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Now Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem | 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.#cr |
5 But Oholah became unfaithful to me and lusted after her lovers the Assyrians: | 5 "Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians--warriors |
6 warriors dressed in fine blue cloth, governors and officers, charioteers and horsemen, all of them the most handsome of men. | 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. |
7 She sought them out to seduce them, all of them men of the highest rank of Assyria. She defiled herself by everyone she lusted after and also by all their idols. | 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. |
8 But she never gave up her promiscuities with the Egyptians, who had slept with her in her girlhood and fondled her nubile breasts, and who continued to seduce her. | 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her. |
9 Therefore, I handed her over to her lovers, to the Assyrians for whom she lusted. | 9 "Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. |
10 They stripped her naked, took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. And she became notorious among women for the punishments they enacted against her. | 10 They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her. |
11 Her sister Oholibah saw it, and she proceeded to outdo her sister in her lust and in her seductions. | 11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. |
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officers, warriors richly clothed, charioteers and horsemen, all of them the most handsome of men. | 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians--governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. |
13 I saw that she too defiled herself. Both had the same tendencies, | 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way. |
14 but she was even more promiscuous. She saw men carved in wall reliefs, images of Chaldeans outlined in vermilion | 14 "But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red, |
15 wearing only loincloths around their hips and flowing headbands on their heads. All of them had the appearance of warriors of the third rank, the likeness of Babylonians whose native land is Chaldea. | 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea. |
16 Aroused just by looking at them, she sent messengers to them in Chaldea. | 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. |
17 The Babylonians came to her to lie down and make love with her, defiling her with their seductions. But once she had defiled herself with them, she recoiled from them in disgust. | 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. |
18 When her seductions became known and her nakedness exposed, I recoiled from her just as I had recoiled from her sister. | 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. |
19 But she added to her promiscuities, bringing to mind her youthful days when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt | 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt |
20 She lusted after their male consorts, whose sexual organs were like those of donkeys, and whose ejaculation was like that of horses. | 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. |
21 She relived the wicked days of her youth, when the Egyptians touched and fondled her young and nubile breasts | 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled. |
22 So Oholibah, the LORD God proclaims: I'm now inciting your lovers against you, all those from whom you recoiled, and I will bring them against you from all around— | 22 "Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side-- |
23 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the Assyrians with them, the most handsome young men, all of them governors and officers, career officers and conscripts, all of them on horseback. | 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, all of them governors and commanders, chariot officers and men of high rank, all mounted on horses. |
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a great army, with shield, buckler, and helmet; and they will surround you. I will hand your punishment over to them, and they will judge you according to their laws. | 24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment, and they will punish you according to their standards. |
25 I will direct my passion against you, and they will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and those who are left will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and those who are left will be burned with fire. | 25 I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters, and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire. |
26 They will strip your clothing from you and remove your beautiful crown. | 26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry. |
27 That's how I will put an end to your lewdness and your Egyptian-styled promiscuity. Never again will you stare at them, and you won't remember Egypt anymore. | 27 So I will put a stop to the lewdness and prostitution you began in Egypt. You will not look on these things with longing or remember Egypt anymore. |
28 The LORD God proclaims: I'm now handing you over to those whom you hate and from whom you recoil. | 28 "For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. |
29 They will deal hatefully with you: They will seize your pay and leave you completely naked. Your promiscuity, betrayal, and seductions will be exposed. | 29 They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. They will leave you naked and bare, and the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your lewdness and promiscuity |
30 This will be done to you because you sold yourself to the nations and became defiled by their idols. | 30 have brought this upon you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. |
31 You followed in your sister's path, so I have put her cup into your hand. | 31 You have gone the way of your sister; so I will put her cup into your hand. |
32 The LORD God proclaims: Deep and wide is your sister's cup. Drink! Appointed for abuse and scorn, it overflows. | 32 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "You will drink your sister's cup, a cup large and deep; it will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much. |
33 You will be filled with drunken sadness. A cup of devastation and dismay is the cup of your sister Samaria. | 33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of ruin and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria. |
34 Drink it, drain it dry, break it into pieces, and tear off your breasts, for I have spoken. This is what the LORD God says. | 34 You will drink it and drain it dry; you will dash it to pieces and tear your breasts. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
35 So now the LORD God proclaims: Because you forgot me and turned your back on me, you alone will bear the consequences of your betrayal and promiscuities. | 35 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you have forgotten me and thrust me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution." |
36 Then the LORD said to me, Human one, judge Oholah and Oholibah, and make known their detestable practices to them | 36 The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices, |
37 They committed adultery, so now blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols, and they even took their children whom they had borne to me and offered them up to be consumed for them. | 37 for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. |
38 They also did this to me: On the same day, they made my sanctuary unclean and made my sabbaths impure | 38 They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. |
39 When they slaughtered their children for their idols, they came into my sanctuary and made it impure on that very same day. They actually did this inside my temple. | 39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house. |
40 They even sent for men who came from a great distance. No sooner than a messenger was sent, they arrived! For these men you bathed, you painted your eyes, and you put on your jewelry. | 40 "They even sent messengers for men who came from far away, and when they arrived you bathed yourself for them, painted your eyes and put on your jewelry. |
41 You took your place on a splendid couch with a richly set table in front of it, and you set my incense and my oil on it. | 41 You sat on an elegant couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed the incense and oil that belonged to me. |
42 The sound of a noisy crowd was around her. Men from the common multitude, drinkers of wine, were brought from the desert. They put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads. | 42 "The noise of a carefree crowd was around her; Sabeans were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets on the arms of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads. |
43 Then I thought, For a foolish woman they become adulterers! Incited by her seduction, they prostitute themselves—for her! | 43 Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, 'Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is.' |
44 They come as if coming to a prostitute, first to Oholah, and then to Oholibah, those traitorous women. | 44 And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah. |
45 But men who do the right thing will judge them, and they will be punished as adulterers and murderers, because they are in fact adulterers, and blood is on their hands. | 45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood, because they are adulterous and blood is on their hands. |
46 The LORD God proclaims: Bring up an assembly against them, and decree terror and plunder for them. | 46 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder. |
47 Let the assembly stone them! Let them carve them up with their swords, slay their sons and daughters, and burn their houses with fire! | 47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses. |
48 So I will put an end to betrayal in the land. Taking warning, no woman will betray as you have done. | 48 "So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you. |
49 You will be held accountable for your betrayals, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the LORD God. | 49 You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD." |
