: “You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves.” This prohibition applies to all alterations of the body besides those made for medical purposes such as to guide a surgeon making an incision. Although some believe that this is one of those “outdated commandments,” others offer explanations for the prohibition. Some argue the human body is G‑d’s creation, and it is unacceptable to change, alter or mutilate G‑d’s handiwork, and the Jewish Torah forbids practices that emulate pagan customs, considering that following their traditions is the first step towards ascribing to idolatrous beliefs and services.
These days, however, tattooing has ballooned in popularity. Speak to anyone with a tattoo and you will find a person who believes that the tattoo is not an act of physical mutilation but a deeply personal form of expressive art with a story behind each tattoo.
Clearly, having a tattoo is not a subversive act anymore as so many people have them.
So why are so many Generation Yers (18-24 year olds) getting tattoos? What is the allure of getting a tattoo? If you have one (or many), what motivated you to get the very first one?This hazelnut cracker has an output of 40 to 50 kg/h.

Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan on Wednesday hosted Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Abbas Badakhshan Zohouri, he said in a statement.
Noting the importance of the Armenian-Iranian relations, they highlighted that the intensity of the high-level meetings testifies to the development of relations and effective cooperation between the two countries.
Zohouri noted that the Armenian-Iranian relations are a successful model of cooperation and have undergone considerable qualitative changes in recent years. Both sides highlighted the high level of trade, which grew significantly over the past year.
Zohouri expressed concerns over the problems that have arisen in connection with the use of infrastructures connecting Iran to Armenia.
“Touching upon the undisrupted functioning of the infrastructures connecting Iran to Armenia, I stressed that Armenia realizes how sensitive the issue is for its Iranian partners and also attaches importance to the quick solution of the problem,” Grigoryan said.
Separately, speaking about the cargo transportation from India to the Black Sea the sides stressed the importance of the Chabahar Port of Iran, noting that Armenia is an important link on that route.
They also discussed issues related to the intensification of security, economic and energy cooperation between the two countries.Taz and Moose start the second hour of the show talking about the big news surrounding the Houston Astros. Will the Astros be in any serious trouble? Will any of us remember this in ten years? We hear from the great Taz and Moose callers and chat with Ralph Russo about the College Football playoff rankings.The Bandana Dee Situation.

So, we all know about the Wooly World datamine, and how so far we've seen no waddle dees, and how he's suspiciously not in Dedede's new final Smash, and how he probably did very good in the Ballot since he's super popular in Japan, and how his Star Allies description may or may not be hinting at something, and a whole list of other things.

Here's the thing though. Bandana Dee is the ONLY character I TRULY want to join Smash nowadays, and with all the signs pointing towards a good direction, I'm scared of getting confident about his inclusion. Everything's in his favor to the extent that it makes me feel uncertain.

So, what do you guys think? Is Bandana Dee a shoe-in/guarantee at this point and we should be confident about his inclusion? Or do you guys think we shouldn't get our hopes up, and instead we should remain doubtful and uncertain?For the past year, our family has been on a journey to “less” – now commonly known as minimalism. It has been amazing and I would encourage you to look at how you can shift your lifestyle as well.
One area I get asked about often is how we are living on less and saving more. Here are just a few quick hacks I have for you in the area of saving money when living with less.
Since moving to a more remote location, it is even more critical that we use services that deliver items we use consistently to our home. It means less driving, less gas used and less stress. I use amazon for almost anything I can, because it just makes plain sense. We have a monthly subscribe and save order with my favorite coffee creamer, organic pumpkin for my favorite no sugar smoothie, cocoa powder, and more. Items we need every month are in our order, delivered right to our door.
Since simplifying our life and also focusing on a healthier toxic-free lifestyle, we’ve managed to save money and eliminate things that were not only wasting our money but promoting illness. Since going into remission from Lupus, through helping my body to heal itself (so so grateful!!), I’ve learned the chemicals I were using in my home were poisoning my entire family. Now I use one cleaner for all our needs – cleaning stove-tops, counter, floors, showers, windows and more. One bottle taking space under my counter instead of ten to twelve. Thieves Household Cleaner is the one for me! It’s concentrated, all plant based and I can make up a bottle with the exact level of cleaning I need for a job.
We make this decision several years ago and are so happy. Instead of wasting the money on bottled water and adding to all the plastic bottle waste, we purchased a BIG BERKEY and have amazing filter and fluoride free water at our finger tips. Each family member have glass water bottles and we fill those when we are headed out and re-use them. Yes, the cost of the Berkey is an initial expense, but the savings over time is great. 
Most detergents work just as well in cold water as they do in hot. We have been using cold water on all but our sheets and it has worked great. My favorite detergent in the Thieves Laundry detergent, also a concentrate and amazingly effective. When you can switch to cold, your clothes and your energy bill will thank you!
This is a process – we’ve done the clutter reduction and purging three times in the last year. It feels amazing to live in a small space and not have every counter or table top covered in stuff! When you have less around, you reduce the risk of buying soothing you truly don’t need plus you can easily
