text: Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: After a bit of svn archeology, it does appear that Arabic-Indic digits' support was deliberate at least in the sense that the feature was tested for when the code was first committed. See r15000. The test migrated from file to file over the last 10 years, but it is still present in test_float.py: self.assertEqual(float(b" \u0663.\u0661\u0664 ".decode('raw-unicode-escape')), 3.14) (It should probably be now rewritten using a string literal.) I am now attaching the patch (issue10557.diff) that fixes the bug without sacrificing non-ASCII digit support. If this approach is well-received, I would like to replace all calls to PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() with the calls to the new _PyUnicode_EncodeDecimalUTF8() and deprecate Latin-1-oriented PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal(). For the future, I note that starting with Unicode 6.0.0, the Unicode Consortium promises that """ Characters with the property value Numeric_Type=de (Decimal) only occur in contiguous ranges of 10 characters, with ascending numeric values from 0 to 9 (Numeric_Value=0..9). """ This makes it very easy to check a numeric string does not contain a mix of digits from different scripts. I still believe that proper API should require explicit choice of language or locale before allowing digits other than 0-9 just as int() would not accept hexadecimal digits without explicit choice of base >= 16. But this would be a subject of a feature request. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19865/issue10557.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report at bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10557> _______________________________________

Photos released by NASA reveal secrets about the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter.
The photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal a "rare" wave slightly north of the planet's equator, according to NASA. The agency also says the images show a "filamentary feature" at the core of Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot, a storm that has been swirling through the atmosphere for as long as Jupiter has been observed from Earth - over 400 years.
"Every time we look at Jupiter, we get tantalizing hints that something really exciting is going on," said Amy Simon, a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement. "This time is no exception."
One image, made using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 shows "nearly back-to-back" rotations of the giant planet, allowing scientists to measure the speed of Jupiter's winds.
The images also show that the Giant Red Spot is becoming smaller and more circular. The long axis of the storm is 240 kilometers shorter than it was in 2014, said the space agency.
The spot appears more orange than red and for the first time, researchers were able to detect a filamentary feature rotating within the spot. The photos show it being shaped by winds in excess of 150 meters per second.
The photos also gave scientists their first look at a wave in Jupiter's northern equatorial belt, which had been seen by Voyager 2 in 1979, but not since.
"Until now, we thought the wave seen by Voyager 2 might have been a fluke," said co-author Glenn Orton of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "As it turns out, it's just rare!"
The images are part of NASA's collection of annual photos, which the space agency hopes will allow scientists to see how planets change over time.
NASA is also compiling shots of Neptune and Uranus and will soon add Saturn as part of what the agency calls the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program.
Here's an animation compiled by NASA:

My family gathered for dinner on the evening of March 16 as we always do. No one had been harmed. No one had died. We weren't grieving. The Cape Elizabeth community isn't grieving. School officials and police did their job. People I don't even know protected my children. You can't put a price on that and you can't adequately thank those who stood in for you as protectors of innocents. Cape got lucky, it's true, but we have very fine individuals at our backs. Thank you to the School and Police department members that took care of business. On my birthday I get to celebrate the greatest gift that you can have: children. Eternally grateful to Cape Elizabeth.

Dr Martens Tattoo Collection
It's safe to say that after more than fifty years in business, Dr. Martens do not disappoint. What started as a small collection of boots and shoes has developed into a full blown menswear range that features everything from clothing to accessories, along with stores all over the world. The latest collection from this iconic brand is simply named 'Tattoo', and has dropped just in time for spring.
The collection sees the obvious return of the iconic 1460 boot and 1461 shoe but with noticeable differences. Retro inspired tattoo designs such as skulls, anchors and ships have been imprinted onto the shoes in bright, bold colours that will make the wearer effotlessly stand out from the crowd this season. Some of you may be thinking: "Why would I need to buy boots in spring?" But let's face it, we're in Britain and we shouldn't try to kid ourselves.
Thankfully, the collection doesn't stop here – two new leather satchels have also been released. The designs again take inspiration from classic tattoos, with each bag featuring various imprints similar to those seen on the footwear. Two gold fastening buckles grace the front of each bag, and the famous Dr. Martens logo finishes off these 11″ or 15″ satchels perfectly.
Every single item in the collection is available in black, red or brown. This palette was carefully considered as the design team wanted to produce a retro aesthetic that gave off an old-fashioned, back-to-basics, beginning of Dr. Martens feel.
Available online now at Dr. Martens and in all Dr. Martens stores.

I wasn't what you would call a book nerd as a kid, but I had a few active reading spurts growing up. One of the earliest and most influential books I can remember from my childhood has to be Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. I often imagined that was me on the cover, it does sorta look like me, and I wished my name was Fern. I have no doubt this book helped shape the person I was to become, fostering a connection to the natural world that still burns inside of me today. In case you've never read it, I won't spoil it and tell you what it's about (animals, nature, life, friendship...), just ignore the fact it's considered a children's book and give it a read. Even if you read it as a child, how about a re-read, just for old times sake. I bet you'll be surprised how much you enjoy it. I get choked up just reading the Wiki description of the plot, and plan on re-reading the book myself, followed by a book called The Story of Charlotte's Web: E. B. White's Eccentric Life in Nature by Michael Sims. Perhaps Charlotte is the reason I still have an affection and respect for spiders, especially writing spiders (Argiopes).
For all of you Charlotte's Web fans (and future fans), click here for a wonderful interview with the author Michael Sims about his book The Story of Charlotte's Web on NPR that aired last year, and click here for an audio review of his book, also from NPR.

RINCON - City Council on Monday night approved 55 percent as the magic number for the city's new alcohol ordinance.
No one spoke against the much-debated measure requiring restaurants to derive at least 55 percent of their total revenue from food sales.
The ordinance, approved unanimously, had met vocal opposition from some residents who claimed requiring an extra 5 percent from food sales was not the intent of voters when the referendum was approved.
The ordinance as written was praised by the only resident to comment.
"It seems generous," said Bob Rogers, pastor of First Baptist Church of Rincon and president of the Effingham Family Association, which lobbied against the alcohol measure. "It should attract restaurants that want to sell alcohol."
The ordinance will go into effect in 10 days from Monday's decision. Information about the application process can be obtained from City Hall.
The city of Springfield recently approved an alcohol sale ordinance requiring only 50 percent of restaurant revenue be from food sales. Effingham County's new alcohol ordinance follows Rincon, requiring 55 percent food sales.
Resident gets a break
The council also agreed to credit nearly $5,000 in impact fees to Steve Campbell.
Campbell asked that the fee be waived since he is replacing a mobile home with a house.
City rules do provide an exemption to the fees, but it applies only when a mobile home is being replaced with another mobile home.
Councilman Paul Wendelken said he thought charging Campbell an impact fee would be unfair.
"It's replacing the same number of bathrooms with the same number of them," he said.
Impact fees are charged on all new development and new construction. The fee is designed to offset costs associated with new development on local infrastructure.
"This way the cost doesn't go on water bills," City Planner LaMeisha Hunter said.
Council also:
Discussed preliminary site plans for mini-storage units and a commercial building on Ga. 21 South, north of the viaduct. The property is being developed by Steve Mason. Council is requiring a de-acceleration lane be added to the plans.
Approved the subdivision of lots No. 186-191 at Villages of Towne Park East, Phase III.
Approved a variance of up to 10 feet in the sideyard setback at 447 Walthour Drive. Local ordinances require a 15-foot setback. The request was made by Danny Anderson of Fairway Builders to be able to build a 50-foot-wide home consistent with others in the neighborhood.

Confused by the requirements for real estate advertising? This info-graphic shows what must be included in ads for your own listed property (not others) or your services as a professional: (click for full size image)
Here is the text of the Marketing /Advertising Disclosure Requirements and the sources of each requirement:
- Broker Disclosure: MA Real Estate License Law: (254:CMR 3:00:9(a)) Broker Identification. No broker may advertise real property to purchase, sell, rent, mortgage or exchange through classified advertisement or otherwise unless he/she affirmatively discloses that he/she is a real estate broker. No broker shall insert advertisements in any advertising publication or other means where only a post office box number, telephone, facsimile, electronic mail number or street address appears. All advertisements shall include the name of the real estate broker.
- Agent Working on Behalf of a Real Estate Broker: MA Real Estate License Law: (254:CMR 3:00:9(b)) Salespersons Prohibited From Advertising. Salespeople are prohibited from advertising the purchase, sale, rental or exchange of any real property under their own name. Code of Ethics: "REALTORS® shall ensure that their status as real estate professionals is readily apparent in their advertising, marketing, and other representations, and that the recipients of all real estate communications are, or have been, notified that those communications are from a real estate professional."
- Firm Name: Code of Ethics Standard of Practice 12-5: "REALTORS® shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise real estate services or listed property in any medium (e.g., electronically, print, radio, television, etc.) without disclosing the name of that REALTOR®'s firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner."
- State of Licensure: Code of Ethics Standard of Practice 12-9 "REALTOR® firm websites shall disclose the firm's name and state(s) of licensure in a reasonable and readily apparent manner."
- Fair Housing Symbol: HUD Fair Housing Advertising § 109.30 Best when symbol or statement is linked to hud.gov or statement about your compliance with fair housing. § 109.30 (a) Use of Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan. All advertising of residential real estate for sale, rent, or financing should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan as a means of educating the homeseeking public that the property is available to all persons regardless of race, color,religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The choice of logotype, statement or slogan will depend on the type of media used (visual or auditory) and, in space advertising, on the size of the advertisement.
- Truthful Ads: CMR: (9) Advertising. A broker shall not advertise in any way that is false or misleading. Code of Ethics: "REALTORS® shall be honest and truthful in their real estate communications and shall present a true picture in their advertising, marketing, and other representations."
Exceptions for Limited Space:
- REALTOR® Code of Ethics Standard of Practice 12-5 of the was amended in 2011 to address the concern of social media and advertisements. Specifically, it states: "This Standard of Practice acknowledges that disclosing the name of the firm may not be practical in electronic displays of limited information (e.g., "thumbnails", text messages, "tweets", etc.). Such displays are exempt from the disclosure requirement established in this Standard of Practice, but only when linked to a display that includes all required disclosures." Therefore, in each social media advertisement, you must be sure to include a link to another page, most likely your firm website, which includes the name of your brokerage.
- HUD PART 109–Fair Housing Adverting: "A simple formula can guide the real estate advertiser in using the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan. In all space advertising (advertising in regularly printed media such as newspapers or magazines) the following standards should be used:Size of advertisement………… Size of logotype in inches½ page or larger………………… 2×2
1/8 page up to ½ page………… 1×1
4 column inches to 1/8 page… ½ x ½
Less than 4 column inches…… Do not use."

Back in my July 31, 2014 blog post, I asked that simple question. Just three days ago in the Shub Niggurath blog post "RICO-teering: How climate activists 'knew' they were going to pin the blame on Exxon", I saw the answer in a quote from no less than the man running The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library himself, Stanton Glantz. Except, rather than it being a nice tidy answer, it instead only begs for questions of why it takes on the appearance of a major narrative derailment. Continue reading
Tag Archives: Stanton Glantz
Why are non-tobacco documents in The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library?
Just askin'. But perhaps part of the answer is found in the critical necessity of the man-caused global warming issue to say a parallel exists between the paid tobacco industry expert shills who said there was no cigarette smoking / lung cancer tie, and alleged 'industry-paid shill scientists' who supposedly lie about the harm of man-caused global warming. Imagine what happens if the larger public has no faith that any such parallel exists. Continue reading

The town of Bel Air is the county seat of Harford County, Maryland. According to the 2010 United States Census the population of the town was 10,120.
Many homes in Bel Air, Md are 45+ years old. Many of these homes may not have had their roof replaced within the last 15 years. If your roof looks old and worn, and you are doing preventive maintenance on your home you may want to consider having ReNew Home Designs inspect your roof to identify possible problem areas and discuss roof replacement options.
Not replacing an old roof in BelAir can be detrimental to your home value and resale value, as well as result in bigger problems down the road. Roof problems can include rotting wood under the shingles, toxic mold, and obviously water damage through-out the house. So watch for the warning signs to be sure to give yourself plenty of time to have Renew Home Designs give you a free estimate on replacing your roof.
|Missing Granules
|Algae/Dark Stains
|Cracked Shingles
|Aging Roof
|Curled Edges
Potential signs that your roof may need to be replaced:
- Shingle edges are curled or shingle tabs are cupped
- Bald spots where granules are missing
- Cracked shingles
- Your roof is at least 20 years old; while many shingles today are produced for durability, many factors can accelerate the aging of shingles. For example, if your roof is not properly ventilated, it can negatively impact your shingles
- Neighbors are getting new roofs. Homes built around the same time period can experiencing the same types of weather conditions can mean that your roof is nearing its useful life
- The roof just looks old and worn
- Dark streaks. Airborne algae cause dark streaks on roof decks. While this may not necessarily harm the roof shingles, it may not look good. Algae streaks can be removed using a 50:50 blend of water and bleach sprayed on your roof. It is important to use a low volume garden hose so you do not knock the protective granules off your shingles. It is also important that you protect your landscaping from the bleach run-off.
- Moss. Moss can grow on roof surfaces that don't get much sunlight especially in cool, moist climates. Moss growth can be more than a cosmetic issue. Moss holds moisture against the roof surface and overtime in freezing climates can cause damage to the granules on the top of the shingles. Moss can be brushed off but it won't prevent it from growing again; take care not to damage the shingle surface.

"Signs and placards to be left at the door"
State Democrats Krysten Sinema (D-15), Nancy Young Wright (D-26) and Pat Fleming (D-25) held a meeting in Marana, AZ at Dove Mountain Resort to "address the hopes, fears, concerns, ideas and questions folks may have…concerning healthcare reform".
Speaking is Krysten Sinema (D-15) is on the White House Health Reform Task Force. She was the only legislator from Arizona to be chosen and that's because the Obama Administration wanted the most "progressive" lawmaker from the State of Arizona. And boy is she that.
She said as a member of the task force, one of her responsibilities is to listen to Arizonans' thoughts and communicate them back to Congress and the president. Krysten Sinema (D-15)
As long as those thoughts do not conflict with her views that Obamacare is the panacea for all.
And of course, Rep. Gabrille Giffords (D-AZ) is Missing In Action.
Now would be a good time to recommend giving a contribution to Jesse Kelly, Rep Giffords replacement.
Great thanks to Zoie Walden for taking the time to meander up to this event and get the video. Without her tireless efforts the hypocrisy of yet another Democrat would not be made public.
"Sometimes Chicken Come Home To Roost"
I like chickens. I would like to have one for my yard. If being a chicken means defeating Obamacare, then I AM A CHICKEN!!
How true. All that Bush is Hitler, Assassinate the President movie, Illegitimate and so on drivel that originated from Kos, Moveon.org and the others was fun, for them. Now that those same (but hardly new) political manipulation tactics are being used against The One, well, it's not so much fun any more.
Elections matter. Vote for the right candidate.
If you live in the Texas 25th district, you need to contact Rep. Lloyd Dogget.
201 Cannon House Office Bldg • Independence and 1st St, SE • Washington DC 20515 • Phone: 202-225-4865
300 East 8th St. #763 • Federal Building • Austin, TX 78701 • Phone: 512-916-5921 • 1-866-916-5921
On August 3rd Rep. Lloyd Dogget (D-TX-25) was on Hardball and said:
Many of these people were summoned in by the local Libertarian and Republican parties, they don't even live in the neighborhood…a desperation tactic.
A mob scene (the protests) are just one way to intimidate members into weakening their position
In my case it just reaffirmed my resolve to go back (to DC) to get a strong public plan, force more competition…and get the reform my constituents want.
Rep. Dogget is ready and willing to vote for the Health Care Bill, regardless of what the good people of Austin have to say about it. Let him know that this will be his last term in Congress if he does.
Originated from the original article at New Scientist
First dear reader allow me to introduce you to Dr. Warren Hern, Director of the Boulder (Colorado) Abortion Clinic. This man (more aptly, sick bastard) preaches his success of killing unborn babies since 1975 and preach he does, at just about every opportunity he gets. Dr. Hern is the presenter of session OOS 7-1: Pulse of the planet: An epidemiologist's global ecological diagnosis at the Ecological Society of America's 94th annual meeting in Albuquerque, NM pontificates that you, I and of course not himself are a malignant growth upon Mother Earth.
If you have never heard of the Ecological Society of America they are in all senses a group of leftist enviro-whack jobs. Oh, and we are all the descendants of amoebas.
The session OOS 7-1: Pulse of the planet: An epidemiologist's global ecological diagnosis comes to the WRONG conclusion that:
The most significant characteristic of malignancy is uncontrolled growth, and that is displayed in global energy use by urban populations.
Results/Conclusions The human species as a whole now displays four major characteristics of a malignant process: rapid, uncontrolled growth; invasion and destruction of adjacent normal tissues (ecosystems); metastasis (distant colonization); and dedifferentiation (loss of distinctiveness in individual components). We have become a malignant ecopathologic process.
He points out that like the accelerated growth of a cancer, the human population has quadrupled in the past 100 years, and at this rate will reach a size in 2025 that leads to global collapse and catastrophe.
And there you have it. Advice from an abortion doctor who kills babies for profit that humans are a scourge upon the earth and that we will all die. Of course Dr. Hern is a complete fool; everyone knows that Algore has set the date of earth's destruction in January 2016, a full 9 years before this WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE prediction.
And lastly, what would some crazy earth ending prediction by a tin foil hat nut be without the obligatory socialist rhetoric calling for a government on high to regulate our existence.
The hope from above is that governments will finally realize that never-ending economic growth is incompatible with the finite material resources Earth has to offer, and begin to manage those resources more fairly and equitably through some kind of world government.
So enjoy:
Note: I do apologize for using the New Scientist links. I still feel dirty, even after a Pine Sol and bleach shower.
No fights at this Townhall so the SEIU union thugs must have been absent.
"I think people are justifiably angry at the way Congress has been operating,"
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
From what I have read so far the event was (relatively) well behaved and other than some heated disagreements, which is to be expected, it was a civil exchange of ideas. Now here is a Parliament fight to watch.
Rep. Flake took and responded to UNSCRIPTED questions from the people:
Q: Do you believe that the Democrats will be using this bill as a means to an end to get everyone on a government healthcare system?
A: Yes, this legislation "will inevitably lead to [everyone being on] a single-payer system," …to have insurance, you'll have to be on the government's rolls.
Q: How in the world can we allow our children to have to pay for this down the road?
A: "We are committing generational theft"
Q: How do you respond to the idea that the government will essentially be setting standards on who lives and who dies?
A: The "government will have to ration either by costs or by services. It's a legitimate fear of many that the government will start to ration services."
More video I can not get to embed:
I want to credit Andrew Meeusen who attend this event and provided the photos. If you have the time follow him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DBacks08
DISCLAIMER: I so wanted to go but this having to work thing got in the way.
par⋅a⋅lip⋅sis /ˌpærəˈlɪpsɪs/ Rhetoric.
the suggestion, by deliberately concise treatment of a topic, that much of significance is being omitted, as in "not to mention other faults.
Meet Carlos Watson, MSNBC contributor and host of The C Note in his commentary forwarded the position that anyone who calls Obama a Socialist is really calling him a Ni***. Aside from the complete ignorance of Mr. Watson and others as to what Socialism is, something that describes Obama's policies precisely, their immediate run to pull the race card is indicative of the collapse of ideals the left is experiencing.
Just some advice MSNBC contributors and others who believe that it's just "white folks" who oppose Obamacare, it's YOUR racism that is on display.
Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-AZ-6) held a town hall meeting, I wanted to go and get video but only just heard about it after it started.
Dems were too afraid to see public today, so public went to the Dems. About 2000 protesters showed up infront of Mitchell office –Tweet
~2000 people and it was about 101 Degrees at that time. Kinda cool for early August, Darn global warming.
No matter, as we here know the result was as it has been across this great nation, Democrats are being beaten like a rented mule over the Obamacare disgrace.
While not able to attend, fellow Phoencian and frequent Twitterer Hellebore5000 was and he got some great pictures:
And of course the requisite Youtube Video.
I;m sorry I was not aware of this as I would have gone, but no matter, there will be plenty more. And seeing as AZ-6 is traditionally a Republican district, having been only narrowly won in 2006 and 2008, it's my understanding that 'ol Harry may have some re-election problems in 2010.
And of course if you are using Twitter, and now is a great time to be, follow Hellebore5000, among others PhxGonline (shameless plug).

1. How to Use Prometheus Travel Humidifier and Humidify Prometheus Travel Humidors
A) Prometheus Optima Travel Humidifier has been pretreated with our Special Care Solution. Do not open the sealed plastic bag until they are ready to be used. When you are ready to humidify your travel humidor, open the sealed plastic bag and apply distilled water to Prometheus Optima Travel Humidifier by pouring distilled water through the front side. Or, you can pour distilled water in a container and soak the Optima Travel Humidifier. We recommend soaking the Optima Travel Humidifier in the container, which saves the usage of distilled water and is also more effective in applying distilled water. After shaking it off, wipe off the excess water with paper towel, and attach the Optima Travel Humidifier to the magnet, which is preinstalled on your Prometheus Travel Humidor.
B) If you are setting up your Prometheus Travel Humidor for the first time, you can wet paper towel with distilled water and tap it gently against the inside veneer of your Prometheus Travel Humidor. The inside veneer will soak up distilled water, and this will help your Prometheus Travel Humidor to create the ideal humidity level quicker. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERSOAK THE INSIDE VENEER WITH DISTILLED WATER. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR TRAVEL HUMIDOR LID TO WARP.
C) Monitor the humidity level daily. The humidity level should go up to 70% within 5 days.
D) Once the humidity reaches 70%, you can put your cigars in the humidor. For any reason, if you are not going to use your travel humidor for a period of time, keep your Prometheus Optima Travel Humidifier in a zip lock bag. Otherwise, the inside foam will dry up and not soak up distilled water effectively.
E) Please check the humidity level and your priceless cigar collection in your humidor regularly. If the humidity drops below 68%, apply distilled water to Prometheus Optima Travel Humidifier. We recommend applying distilled water to the Optima Travel Humidifier as needed.
F) Once every six months, apply Prometheus Special Care Solution (Prometheus SCS) to the Optima Travel Humidifier so that it can continuously generate humidity effectively.
You can purchase Prometheus Special Care Solution (Prometheus SCS) from our authorized dealers or from our web site.
Apply distilled water through the the front of Prometheus Optima Travel. Or, you can pour distilled water in a container and soak the Optima Travel Humidifier. We recommend soaking the Optima Travel humidifier in the container, which saves the usage of distilled water and is also more effective in applying distilled water.
2. Repeat the above process until the foam inside Prometheus Optima Travel Humidifier is saturated and distilled water spills out. Lay flat for 5 minutes on a paper towel until all excess water spills out. Wipe the excess water on the outer case of the Optima Travel Humidifier.
3. Attach Prometheus optima Travel Humidifier to the magnetic plates.
Refill the Optima Travel Humidifier with DISTILLED WATER ONLY when the humidity falls below 68% - 70%.
5. Apply Prometheus Special Care Solution (Prometheus SCS) to Prometheus Optima Humidifier once every six months.
2. Cleaning Instruction for Prometheus Humidors
In order to clean the outside surface of the Prometheus Humidors, please use clean cotton towel and rubbing alcohol. First, remove any dust on your humidor gently so that the surface will not get scratched. After this, wet your towel with rubbing alcohol, and wipe the outside surface gently to remove finger prints or any other stain.
In order to clean the inside veneer, use fine sandpaper to remove any stain. Please make sure to sand in the direction of the wood grain. Sanding against the grain leaves scratches.
Many years ago, some of Prometheus humidors were made with satin finish. If your Prometheus humidor is satin-finished, use a clean cotton towel and gently wipe the outer surface. You must not use rubbing alcohol or any cleaning solution in cleaning satin finished humidors.
3. Prometheus Digital Hygrometer
Prometheus Travel Humidors does not come with Prometheus digital hygrometer/thermometer, which will enable you to measure the humidity and temperature inside of your humidor accurately.
You can purchase a new Prometheus digital hygrometer/thermometer from our authorized dealers or from our website.
The instruction on how to use the Prometheus digital hygrometer/thermometer is enclosed inside the packaging box, or visit our website.
Please note that the accuracy range of Prometheus digital hygrometer is +/-3%. Check how well cigars are humidified inside your humidor regularly.
4. Mahogany or Spanish Cedar
The inside veneer of Prometheus humidor is mahogany. Some humidors come lined with Spanish cedar. We have chosen mahogany because it will not affect the flavor of your cigars whereas Spanish cedar will give your cigars a cedar taste and aroma. Also, Spanish cedar can bleed sap but mahogany does not.
5. Storage of Cigar
Your cigars will taste best if they are kept in the environment which provides Relative Humidity range of 68 - 70% and temperature range of 68 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 - 21 degrees Celsius). If your cigars go through harsh temperature and humidity variations, they will lose their flavor. Prometheus humidors equipped with a Prometheus Optima humidifier provide an optimally controlled environment (Relative Humidity of 68% - 70%) for your priceless cigars.
6. Relative Humidity
The Relative Humidity (RH) is defined as the amount of moisture in the atmosphere in comparison with that at the saturation point at a given temperature. Water exposed to air gradually evaporates until the saturation point at which the air may retain the highest quantity of evaporated water. At the saturation point, the slightest drop in temperature will cause condensation. This is known as the dew point and corresponds to 100% RH. At 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) and a normal atmospheric pressure, the amount of water present in the air at 100% RH is approximately 15 grams per cubic meter. At a Relative Humidity of 70%, the amount of evaporated water is approximately 10.5 grams per cubic meter.
7. Why Create a Humid Environment with a Constant Relative Humidity of 68% - 70%?
In common with many organic substances, cigars dry out in the absence of humidity in the air, or absorb moisture when air humidity is high. They establish equilibrium with the surrounding humidity. A dry cigar burns too quickly. The temperature at which burning occurs is too high because it is not tempered by the natural moisture of the cigar. The smoke is hot and bitter, and the cigar becomes harsh. In contrast, a damp cigar does not burn easily. It becomes difficult to draw.
For a pleasant smoke, a cigar should contain a certain amount of moisture which corresponds to 13 - 14% of its total weight. When this is the moisture content, the cigars burn smoothly; and the draw is easy. The aroma of tobacco is fully developed while the irritating effect of the smoke is moderated by the humidity of the cigar itself. The ideal moisture content of a cigar (13 - 14%) corresponds to a Relative Humidity of 70%.
8. How to Create and Maintain a Constant Relative Humidity of 68% - 70%?
If you place a water reservoir inside the humidor, the water will evaporate right away. As a result, the air inside of the humidor becomes quickly saturated by evaporated water and the humidity inside of the humidor will shoot up in a short period of time. However, as you open and close the humidor, the humidity inside the humidor will disappear rapidly. This means that your cigars will dry up shortly after all water in the reservoir has completely evaporated.
In the above environment, your cigars will go through sudden humidity change. Many humidors come with a humidifier containing a foam, which merely soaks up water and lets it evaporate rapidly just like the above water reservoir example.
Prometheus Optima humidifier comes pretreated with our special proprietary solution. This special solution controls the evaporation of distilled water. The Prometheus Optima humidifier lets its water evaporate only when the Relative Humidity falls below 68% - 70%.
Prometheus Optima humidifier comes sealed in a plastic bag to preserve its pretreatment. Please do not break its seal until you are ready to use it. After you open the seal, please fill it with distilled water and your Prometheus Optima humidifier is ready to be used.
We advise you to treat your Prometheus Optima humidifier with our Special Care Solution (Prometheus SCS) once every six months so that your Prometheus Optima will continuously deliver controlled evaporation of distilled water.
9. Tobacco Beetles
During the humid summertime, the humidity inside your humidor can go up significantly. If the humidity goes higher than 70%, leave the humidor lid open until the inside humidity goes down.
In addition, please make sure that your humidor is kept in the temperature range of 68 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 - 21 degrees Celsius).
During the winter months, do not put your Prometheus humidor next to a heater. During the summer months, try to keep your Prometheus humidor in an air-conditioned room which maintains a temperature range of 68°F - 70°F (20°C - 21°C).
If the humidity and temperature of your humidor move above the ideal range (68% - 70% and 68°F - 70°F), tobacco beetles, which exist in larvae form inside of tobacco leaves, can hatch. If the outbreak of tobacco beetles occurs, you will find your cigars with circular pinholes. This is the evidence of tobacco beetle infestation. In two days, the full-fledged beetle infestation can destroy every cigar in your humidor.
In the first place, you must prevent the inside environment of your humidors from getting too moist or too hot by keeping it in the ideal range (68% - 70% and 20°C - 21°C).
If beetle infestation occurs, discard all of your cigars with the circular pinholes and put the ones without the pinholes in a sealed plastic bag. Then place them in the freezer for 72 hours in order to kill the tobacco beetles and their larvae.
After 72 hours, move the cigars to the refrigerator for one day, and then back to your humidor. This extra step will protect your cigars from the shock of sudden temperature change.
Before you put the cigars back in your humidor, clean the inside of your humidor with a paper or cotton towel dampened with distilled water.
Prometheus stands behind its humidors and if a Prometheus humidor has any manufacturing defect, Prometheus will repair it at no charge according to its warranty. However, if the lid of the humidor warps due to improper maintenance by its dealers or consumers, the warped lid will not be covered by Prometheus Humidor Warranty.
In order to prevent the lid of the humidor from warping, do not place the humidor under direct sunlight or track/spot lighting. Moreover, if your humidor experiences dramatic temperature changes, the lid of the humidor will also warp. During the winter months, you must not keep your humidor in a cold room or next to heater. During the summer months, prevent your humidor from being exposed to extreme sunlight.

Genetically altered seeds continue to produce as much controversy as they do crops.
In the latest scene in the ongoing seed soap opera, Canadian grain farmer Percy Schmeiser is headed to court in a landmark lawsuit involving the agrichemical and biotech giant Monsanto Corporation, the same company responsible for the controversial Terminator seed technology (see MOTHER EARTH NEWS June/July 1999, "Suicidal Seeds" by Heather Cox). Monsanto has launched a lawsuit against Schmeiser, claiming the 68-year-old farmer illicitly acquired the company's genetically altered Roundup Ready Canola seeds and was using them to produce an unlicensed canola crop on his farmland. Schmeiser denies ever having purchased or planted Monsanto's Roundup seeds, and has responded with a $10 million countersuit.
"The fact that a company can produce and sell GMOs [genetically modified organisms] without any regard for the environment or farmers points to a serious flaw in the system," says Schmeiser.
The genetically altered seeds in question contain a transplanted gene that makes them resistant to Roundup herbicide, Monsanto's most commercially successful weed killer. By spraying Roundup herbicide on Roundup Ready Canola, farmers can eliminate the weeds in their fields without damaging the genetically modified plants. The result is a weed-free crop that produces higher yields and bigger profits. The number of Canadian farmers growing Roundup Ready Canola has grown to more than 20,000 - up 8,000 from a year ago.
However, Schmeiser's statement of claim against Monsanto (he says he's the victim of unwanted cross-pollination) echoes the concerns of many Canadian farmers who worry that their conventional crops could be contaminated by wind-borne genetic pollution.
"This is a callous disregard for the environment," says Schmeiser. "I'm going to keep fighting this because I believe this is an issue that affects every farmer."
Farmers have also criticized Monsanto for its aggressive efforts to identify unauthorized Roundup growers. In an attempt to crackdown on seed piracy, Monsanto employs private investigators who conduct random farm audits and collect crop samples from the fields of alleged violators. To solidify its case against Schmeiser, Monsanto investigators entered the farmer's fields without his consent and collected crop samples without his permission.
And that may not be the worst of the company's tactics: Edward Kram, a Raymore, Saskatchewan, farmer, claims a spray plane dropped an unidentified chemical on his couple field to determine if genetically modified plants were being grown. Kram has pictures of dead patches in the middle of his canola field but has no way of proving who applied the chemical or who contracted the aircraft.
"I've heard of that, [but] to my knowledge, we have not done that and nor would I condone it," says Monsanto spokesman Craig Evans. "Spraying Roundup by air is an illegal application . . . so it's certainly not something that Monsanto has authorized."
Evans also suggests that the vast majority of farmers support the company's efforts to minimize patent infringements and to ensure a level playing field for all candle producers.
Mediation talks between Schmeiser and Monsanto broke down last August. The two sides are scheduled to appear in the Federal Court of Canada this June.

"unable to choose for yourself!"
"First, because free agency is a God-given precondition to the purpose of mortal life, no person or organization can take away our free agency in mortality.
Second, what can be taken away or reduced by the conditions of mortality is our freedom, the power to act upon our choices. Free agency is absolute, but in the circumstances of mortality freedom is always qualified.
A loss of freedom reduces the extent to which we can act upon our choices, but it does not deprive us of our God-given free agency.
We have to accept some government limitations on freedom if we who live in communities are to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A condition of uninhibited individual freedom would allow the strong to oppress the weak. It would allow the eccentric desires of one person to restrict the freedom of many.
Interferences with our freedom do not deprive us of our free agency. When Pharaoh put Joseph in prison, he restricted Joseph's freedom, but he did not take away his free agency."

To "marxist" tell us where Marxism works? You think it is so great, and so wonderful, and there are quite a few nations that feel the same way you do.
The problem is that I don't see anywhere that it has worked. The nations that practice Marxism fall are 3rd world nations, collapsed nations, or else have adopted capitalism to fund their collectivist policies. No matter how you look at it, it has not worked.
However, I am interested in your point of view. Tell us, where has marxism worked?
marxist Salt Lake City, UTJan. 14, 2014 11:44 p.m.
@2 bits "Many Conservatives have read Marx (this may surprise you). They just don't agree that it works." That what works? "Capital" is a critique of capitalism, it's not a blueprint. My reading of Marx is not exhaustive let me admit, but what I have read leads me to believe that he was mostly a theoretician, like Smith, Ricardo, or Marshall, and that he didn't push any scheme of government.
Anti-capitalist systems call themselves Marxist because Marx was and is the major critic of capitalism, not because they follow a Marxist prescription, because there isn't one.
A more to the point response on your part might be "we've read Marx and we find his explanation of capital accumulation under capitalism useless and his theories lend no predictability to capitalist development." I would disagree with that of course. My only request is that Marx be admitted to the company of neoclassical economists (like advocated by the late great Joan Robinson of Cambridge). I believe his analysis can be enormously useful as we evolve our system. I have no precise prescription for what ails us. We will develop that together.

"Force was and is a principle of the evil one!"
I love it when democratically elected people pass a law, and all of a sudden it is "forced". Heaven forbid we force people to do good. Forcing should be left to things like what age your drink, sending your kids to school, those dang zoning laws that force you to keep you property in alignment with "local standards". All this government forcing..... in needs to be left to making my neighbor live how I think they should.... not make society to take care of its poor and disadvantaged.
If it is spending on things like defense = unforced. Spending on giving corporations incentives to do business in your area even if it doesn't benefit you directly - unforced. Helping feed the poor - forced.
Love it.

Marx did not believe the communal society would happen by force but by natural evolution. A pure Marxist doesn't force anything on anyone. Totalitarians have distorted Marxism, just as they have distorted capitalism (Hitler, Caesar, Mussolini, etc.)

"Pope Francis exhorts politicians to guarantee dignified work, education and health care for the least among us..."
That sounds marxist.
He's not asking for people to hire, educate and care for the least among us. That's what Jesus would probably say.
The Pope is asking politicians to guarantee it. Politicians guarantee stuff by forcing us to do it for them. Then they get to decide whether we're doing it right and then reward or punish those who do what they want.

Define "Reasonably OK".
Re: "I repeat: the conservatives here have never read Marx, nor know anything about him"...
How do you know Conservatives have never read Marx?
I'm Conservative to the bone... and I have read Das Kapital, and The Communist Manifesto, and many commentaries and critiques on his writings and theories.
My grandparents were born and raised in East Germany (moving to the US in the early 1950s). What I know about it I learned at their knee telling me their stories and their first hand views on the subject (not just books).
My son said my studying Marx with him and discussing History at length with him is what lead him to get his Master's Degree in History.
Many Conservatives have read Marx (this may surprise you). They just don't agree that it works (mainly from observing history).
Karl Marx had many good and lofty ideals... but they just don't work in an imperfect system and imperfect people (which we are). History proves I'm right.

@ Thid Barker - "One more historical fact. Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Mao ste Tung and Ho Chi Minh were all Marxists with a military to enforce it!" But the social democrats of the European democracies also read Marx - and they're reasonably OK, aren't they?
Back to the 4 cited: Mao and Ho Chi Minh were also fighting nationalist struggles against the imperialist British (the world's first narco-state) and the imperialist French. Their militarism was in large part dictated by those struggles. As for the demonic Stalin, his installation was spirited by the U.S. invasion of Russia following WW I (yes, it's true).

Families are not "marxist" that is proven by the simple fact that what you earn cannot be freely spent by your 5 year old. Plus, you and your spouse own your house, not you and your kids.
As for your societies, those were not marxist, socialist, or communist. They were (gasp) capitalist. According to modern revelation, for a society to be free it must give allowance for property rights and private ownership. Those are 2 of the biggest reasons why we know that communal philosophies are NOT in accordance with God's laws. Not to mention that all of the collectivist philosophies rely on force to redistribute the wealth.

If you could embrace this reality (vs the fog of partisanship stereotypes)... just because Rush or Beck or anybody on the TV says something... don't just assume that everybody you lump in with them also thinks that way.
Many Conservatives don't believe everything Beck or Limbaugh say. And I know at least Beck highly discourages his audience from just believing what he says on the air, and encourages them to do their own research and form their own opinions.
You may want to try that too (instead of just regurgitating the talking points and what you hear on MSNBC about evil Rush listeners, or Beck listeners, etc). We are really not all bad.

You missed one very important principle difference between charity, families, City of Enoch, Christianity, Church and Marxism: FORCE. Force is an evil principle proposed, employed and implemented by Satan and others throughout history by Marxist/communist governments who force some to work for nothing so others can receive what they didn't earn, by force! That's the difference! The very definition of slavery is forcing someone to work for that which they will not receive so others can receive what they did not work for and earn! Free agency versus being forced, unable to choose for yourself! I guess the war in heaven isn't over, is it?

These discussions are difficult because most do not know much about Marx. They know he wrote the Communist Manifesto - and that is about it. They know nothing about his contributions to economics. Marx was concerned, as were many others, with labor's status in the new commercial systems. That was the impetus for his contributions. He was not a Russian. He was long dead before any countries "went Communist." He was knowledgeable in virtually all economic thought extant in his day - including those he admired most - Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Marx is a legitimate descendant of both of them.

To me the Pope sounds more like Harry Truman than Karl Marx.

@ airnuat. What you don't get is the term FORCE! Families, church and charitable cooperation are not forced, it's voluntary. Force was and is a principle of the evil one! As anyone who ever cracked a history book knows, Marxism always exists only by force! Wise up!

Just because you love for your neighbor, and help carry each other's burdens... doesn't make you a Marxist.
A lot of people who aren't Marxist do that (on their own, not by government mandate). It's just fulfilling the law of Christ.

Guys like you crack me up.
You hate it,
yet - you are the very one's who support it and make it WORK!
Communist China would still be a 3rd world rice patty culture had it not for our Capitalist friends on Wall Street, and the Corporate Welfare Queens who play our politicians like fiddles.
FYI - Marxism works all the time,
It's called "The Family".
As for Societies;
it has worked at least 4 times:
1. the City of Enoch,
2. Moses and the Children of Israel,
3. Christians at the time of Jesus,
4. Nephites/Lamanties at the time of Jesus,
it will work in the New Jersualem, the City of Zion.

Marxists are all supposed to be atheists. Wouldn't that little fact be hard for a Catholic priest to cover up - for most of a lifetime?

I think the pope is more of a true doctrinal christian, and that's making a lot of people uncomfortable.

I don't know if the Pope is a Marxist or not; "To each according to their needs and from each according to their abilities". But I do know that Marxism has never succeeded in history, because
it is always necessary to enforced with tanks and machine guns. Why? Because people will not be forced work for that which they will not receive. Because only slaves are forced to work for
things they will not receive. Marxism is slavery and people will be free!

marxist Salt Lake City, UTJan. 14, 2014 12:31 a.m.
Is Pope Francis a Marxist? With all due respect to the writer, that depends upon what we mean by the term. I consider myself to be a Marxist because Marx IMHO developed a theory of capital accumulation and exploitation of labor that is pretty close to right. Pope Francis is I'm sure familiar with Marx in that regard. I dare say he appreciates Marx's contribution to economics. So Pope Francis may well be a Marxist in these terms, but it does not mean the Pope admires tyrannical states which call themselves "Marxist." I've read some of the turgid output of the "Institutes of Marxist Leninism" in the Soviet Union, and they barely knew who Marx was. By my criteria they were not "Marxists."

I´m doing a 15p- Cryx list to try out Warmachine. My main goal on the minis that will be included in this list is to get them to a decent TT standard. I want to play ASAP and I hate bringing unpainted minis to a game. I might go over them as son as the whole list is done, but until then they have to do as they are.
I will do some more painting on the Nightwtretchers base and the Necrotech belly needs to smoothen out, as well as some weathering. But enought babbeling and on tho the pics.
Untill next time, happy painting!

|The prize - 4 half metre cuts of In The Navy prints by Camelot Fabrics
Wow, it's almost been a whole year since I started this blog. Why did I do it? There were 3 main reasons:
1. I'd been reading quilting blogs for a few years and drew lots of inspiration from what others were making. I thought some people might be interested in seeing what I was making.
2. I've always include a few photos of my quilting and embroidery finishes in my annual Christmas letter to family and friends. Many of those people tell me look forward to my letter so they can see what I've been up to in the past 12 months. Some years it was hard to choose which photos to include with so many projects on the go. So I knew I had plenty of material to share.
3. Would you believe I'd actually started a word document I called 'Craft Log' and was building up a document filled with photos and descriptions of what I'd made, year by year. So I knew I wanted a permanent reference of what I'd made, but up until that point I wasn't ready to go public with a blog. I worked in IT for many years solving software issues, and quite frankly, I didn't want to spend any more time on a computer than I had to.
After I sent out our 2013 Christmas letter I decided to investigate blogging, and I posted my first post on 16 December 2013.
I can still remember some of the very first people I became on line friends with back then. I won't name names for fear of offending anyone I miss out, but I've made some great friends during the past 12 months. You've all been very supportive of my efforts, and I've enjoying getting to know people from all over the world.
I've tried many new things since I started my blog:
- I joined my local quilt guild (called Capital Quilters) and met some new friends there
- I joined Instagram and met many embroidery people through that
- I participated in a quilt a long via Instagram
- I joined the Possum Magic round robin and met some fun loving people through that
- I revived my crochet interest and am planning on making a blanket next year
I could go on and on! Anyway, to the point of this post. I running a give away to thank you all for your loyal support over the past 12 months.

About Van Isle Jewellers Ltd
Locally-Owned in Victoria, B.C. Since 1948
Van Isle Jewellers (short for Vancouver Island) first opened its doors in Victoria, British Columbia in 1948. Our business was founded by Belton Turner, Cliff Duckworth and James Munro, who served the local jewellery industry through a single-room workshop on Yates Street. As our reputation grew, so did our business, offering retail and design services to better meet the needs of our customers.
Following the retirement of our final two founders in 1991, founder James Munro's son, Kenn Munro, assumed ownership of the business. Kenn had accompanied his father to work as early as five years old, and is proud to continue the shop's tradition. Shortly after ownership changed, a showroom was added that allowed customers to work directly with the jewellery manufacturer and repair specialist.
In 2000, we moved the business to our current location on Blanshard Street. This space gives our customers more room and accessibility to view all of our available jewellery. Additionally, it has allowed us to have more meaningful discussions with our customers regarding engagement rings, wedding bands, and other special pieces.
Committed to Quality, Value & Service
Since the beginning, Van Isle Jewellers Ltd has remained true to its strengths: on-site workshop, exceptional quality, unique design and "old school" service at a reasonable price. We have stood the test of time due to our commitment to quality, value, and fine design.
Over the years, Van Isle Jewellers Ltd has made fine jewellery more affordable and has become the community's go-to source for information. We offer on-site design, fabrication and repair services, as well as restringing, appraising, engraving, eyeglass soldering and a supply of diamonds or coloured stones.
Whether you are looking for a way to incorporate family heirlooms or have an original jewellery design in mind, our talented designers are here to help. We also encourage you to visit our store and browse the many special pieces we have on display!
Contact us today at (250) 418-1126 with any questions and a friendly staff member will be happy to assist you!

I think it would be useful to split "Needs Work" into more severe (the test is invalid) and less severe cases (the test is valid, but could be better). In the latter case, we'd want to unhook the test from the test results and reporting harness.
