Ba'al found this little piece of guidance. Leviticus is such a problem for fund-o wack-os.
Should I Get a Tattoo?
That’s a good question. There are many Christians that believe tattoos are a sin, citing Leviticus 19:28 as a reason. They believe that tattoos are in direct violation of how to treat the body, which is considered the Temple of God. However, we now see so many of our favorite Christian artists with tattoos that glorify the Lord, and there are a lot of Christians that believe the dictate was an Old Testament issue that was superceded by the New Testament.
There really isn’t clear guidance on the issue of tattoos. While many teens are too young to get a tattoo without parental permission, that’s where you should go first. Examine your reasons for wanting a tattoo. Make sure that whatever you decide honors God. Remember, God knows your heart. While the world may pressure you to fit into worldly looks and expectations, God calls Christians to live for Him.
Click on the "Comments" link below and let me know what you think about tattoos.

Israel settlement breaks promise to U.S. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20061...el_palestinians
JERUSALEM - Israel has approved a new settlement in the West Bank to house former Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, officials said Tuesday, breaking a promise to the U.S. to halt home construction in the Palestinian territories.
Construction in the northern West Bank town of Maskiot began months ago, but the project only received final approval from the Defense Ministry last week, said Dubi Tal, head of the Jordan Valley regional council.
Saeb Erekat, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, condemned the construction and urged the government to revoke its authorization, saying it violated the spirit of cooperation inaugurated by a meeting Saturday between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
"What message are they trying to send?" Erekat asked.
The settlement will house 23 families who were evacuated when Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip last year, and will eventually house 100 families, Tal said. "I estimate that within two or three weeks the foundations for temporary housing will begin," he said.
Olmert has signaled in recent weeks that he is ready to make broad territorial concessions to the Palestinians under a final peace settlement, but he has also said he wants Israel to retain large settlement blocs. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, as part of a future independent state.

Foreigners may face deportation or fines if they volunteer at orphanages or organize performances without reporting them to the authorities.
The interpretation came from Joo Jae-bong, an official at the Ministry of Justice. He said there should be no problem with joining a poetry club but that volunteer activites should be registered with the ministry.
``If it 's just a gathering of friends, there should be no problem,’’ he said. ``But if they are organizing performances, they need to register to do those things because they are changing the purpose of their stay here.’’
He said the same rule applies to those who wish to volunteer in an orphanage. Foreigners need to register those activities with the ministry.
Currently, nine foreigners are under investigation in Pusan for conducting performances beyond their visa-sanctioned jobs.

Biden says intends to run for president
By Richard Cowan
Reuters Tuesday, December 26, 2006; 5:07 PM
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, one of the Democratic party's leading voices on foreign policy and a sharp critic of President George W. Bush's handling of the Iraq war, on Tuesday said he intends to run for president in 2008.
"It is my intention to seek the nomination, and it's my intention sometime in the month of January to set up the appropriate mechanism to be able to raise money for that purpose," Biden said in a telephone news conference that centered on Iraq.

A private equity firm has reached an agreement to buy the Star Tribune from the McClatchy Co., publisher Keith Moyer announced today.
According to a press release from the Star Tribune, Avista Capital Partners, an investment group focused on media, healthcare and energy companies, will pay for $530 million for the newspaper, which Sacramento, Calif.-based McClatchy bought from Cowles Media Co. in 1998 for $1.2 billion.
The deal is expected to formally close sometime in the spring. Chris Harte, a member of Avista’s advisory board, will serve as chairman of a board overseeing the Star Tribune. Harte is a former publisher of newspapers in Akron, Ohio; Portland, Maine and State College, Pa.

What a wanker.
As I've said way too many times here (but shall again, nonetheless), Biden reminds me of an NFL defensive tackle who gets run over, under, around and through for the entire game but in the fourth quarter, with his team behind 42-3, he happens to knock over the opponent's third string quarterback and does the prancy sack-dance for thirty seconds.

Shit. Gotta walk the dogs. Not so much fun with two dogs and no Melissa.
This time I'm gonna avoid Otis, a huge old Blonde Lab. Eddy loves him, they play and frolic but it gets too much.
Fucking Wiley actually tried to take Otis down! Like a vicious attack, both dogs on their hind legs, going at it! Wiley 50 lbs, Otis 100lbs+.
But Otis is a good dog and will listen to me, but still it's a pain dealing with that shit.
Part of the problem that the kleptocracy is facing is that the wars they want fought are not the kind you can get Americans to volunteer to fight.
They're not about "defending Freedom", and it's pretty obvious they're not.

When I unwrapped them I showed them to Arthur - he examined them very, very carefully, rather the way he did Tony when he came home, and now ignores them entirely.
Actually, for the "showcase" party girls, they'd rather the foreigners go elsewhere.
There are areas where the hookers cater to GIs, which are quite different than the "showcase" party parlors.

I have a tiny gecko tie tack that was very inexpensive, but that I like a lot.
Tie tacks have almost become extinct, possibly because men are supposed to look like GQ models with expensive ties dangling freely over their washboard abs. I know that tie tacks are somehow intrinsically uncool, and often tasteless, but I wondered a decade ago why they couldn't make a comeback in an era in which every other goddamn thing is pierced with abandon.
I also have a frog tie tack that I snapped up years ago, like a frog snapping up a fly, at a Nature Conservacy store that's now extinct.

One of the subplots in Walking to Mercury, one of my absolute favorite books of all time, is that the heroine is carrying her mother's ashes around with her in the Himalayas, trying to scatter them, but either the time's right and the place is wrong, or vice versa. It's an amazing metaphor.

Speaking of downloading music, I thoroughly enjoyed this rant. Choice passage:
(If)the lawsuits, threats, purchased governance and stern speeches could not prevent the children of Warner Music from pirating, the less moneyed masses are a lost cause. (Funny how he wasn't sued though, kind of makes you wonder...) As of right now, anyone can get any music or movie they want, for free, much more easily than they can through legal DRM infected channels. Piracy, the better choice (tm).
If you try and purchase any of this content, you descend into a DRM nightmare of incompatibility and legal mires. Your monitor will not work with your Blu-Ray drive because your PC decided that a wobble bit was set wrong. You just pissed away $6K on a player, media center PC and HD TV for nothing, you lose. The Warner CEOs kids have a nice new car to play their pirated CDs in though.
On the other hand, if you downloaded that content, in HD no less, you save the $1000 on the Blu-Ray player, $30 on the movie, and it works seamlessly out of the box. The available content is much higher with piracy, and it is quite on-demand. You don't need to sign up, give them your details to be sold to marketers who call during dinner and spam you, you just get the content you want, when you want, how you want. There is no iTunes/Plays for (not) Sure incompatibility, it just works. Piracy, the better choice(tm)...

I can't believe I didn't find Booby Novak's Xmas present to me till today:
DeLay bound for D.C. to lobby for conservatives, but some say no thanks
December 24, 2006
BY ROBERT NOVAK Sun-Times Columnist
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is about to return to the Washington political scene as a high-profile operative for the American Conservative Union if his negotiations with group Chairman David Keene are successfully completed.
DeLay, who has moved his residence from Texas to Washington's Virginia suburbs, would serve as a high-profile strategist and lobbyist for the group to promote conservative causes.
Although DeLay is highly regarded among conservatives in the face of his prosecution by a Democratic district attorney in Austin, such support is not universal. At least two of the group's board members have threatened to resign if the deal with DeLay is consummated.

If I can't have the Viking funeral that I'd really like -- oil-soaked ship & body launced onto the tide, flaming arrows shot into it in the sunrise -- I'd like my ashes to go under a lilac bush.

i've mentioned before i think:
i've put aside a little bequest with my brother for the disposition of my mortal remains. this includes reducing my corpse to ashes, and then the spreading of those ashes on the deck of a surf-board, which will then be glassed. Then, on an ebb tide, on a full moon, to the accompaniment of a king hell stoned drunken bash that board should be launched onto the cold pacific ocean..

That NYT diabetes article has me all riled up, except I'd probably fall from dizziness if I tried to stand. Normals get treated like ciphers enough as it is, but for people who suffer though the maze this is to get shafted by employers is just maddening. Of course I don't enjoy constant nausea and vertigo, let alone fluctuating blood sugar, but I'm still human. Dang the Supreme Court, anyway!

Best description I ever heard of what happens when we die:
If you watch the waves at the ocean, you'll see that they fling little drops of water into the air, where the drop hangs for a few moments before falling and being reabsorbed into the larger sea, again and again.

BY ROBERT NOVAK Sun-Times Columnist
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is about to return to the Washington sewer scene as a high-profile operative for the American Conservative Sewer Rat Union if his negotiations with group Chairman David Keene are successfully completed.
DeLay, who has moved his residence from Texas to Washington's Virginia underground suburban waste conduits, would serve as a high-profile strategist and lobbyist for the group to promote conservative sewer rat causes.
