Will an edit work.
We shall see:
The thought of collating this material came from this Facebook discussion on ConfessionalBibliology
==================Robert Truelove quotes John Owen
"Arise out of copies apparently corrupted, like that of Beza in Luke and that in the Vatican boasted of by Huntley the Jesuit, which Lucas Brugensis affirms to have been changed by the Vulgar Latin, and which was written and corrected, as Erasmus says, about the [time of the] council of Florence, when an agreement was patched up between the Greeks and Latins."
Earlier textualcritcism forum discussions:
Here I was working with the John Owen quote given by Robert Truelove:
[TC-Alternate-list] Vaticanus history - Erasmus, Huntley, Brugensis, Walton, Owen
Steven Avery - Oct 11, 2008
[textualcriticism] "The KJV translators had access to Codex Vaticanus and rejected it."... First Huntly. Finding the Huntly material might be difficult, although it truly would be interesting to see how the Jesuits boasted of the MS in the 1500s. Apparently this is James Huntley Gordon ...
Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature by John McClintock,
James Huntley, an eminent Scotch Jesuit, was born in 1543. Ho was educated at Rome, and entered the order of Jesuits Sept. 20, 1563. For nearly fifty years he taught Hebrew and theology at Rome, Paris, and Bordeaux. He travelled also, as missionary, through England and Scotland, where his zeal for making converts to the Roman Catholic Church caused him to be twice put in prison. He died at Paris, April 16, 1620. Gordon was a learned and skillful man, and very zealous for his order. He wrote Controversiarurn christianae fidei Epitome, 3 parts (i, Limoges, 1612 ; ii, Paris ; ill, reprinted with the two others, Cologne, 1020, 8vo). See Alcgambe, Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatia Jesu ; Hoefer, Nouv Biog. Generale, xxi, 280.
Owen separately points out that Huntly supports the Vulgate Latin OT over the Hebrew Bible.
Another interesting question is how Brugensis "affirms (Vaticanus) to have been changed by the Vulgar Latin". Likely this would mean the later correctors. Brugensis, like Huntly, might use Vaticanus as a support for the Vulgate readings against the Majority Greek since Brugensis was interested in revising the Clementine Vulgate. And thus he would bypass the many cases where the Vaticanus has its own readings against the Vulgate and the Greek Majority text. It took a whole new radical overhaul of textual theory, led by Hort over a group of Revisors, when he wasn't going to a seance, to allow for those independentista readings to have any assumed authority. (An interesting note leading up to that coup was the Tischendorf King James Bible edition showing Alexandrinus, Vaticanus and Sinaiticus variants, where they weren't too much in the realm of obvious blunders.)
The third part from Owen is about Erasmus, who Owen says about Vaticanus - "written and corrected ... about the council of Florence, when an agreement was patched up between the Greeks and Latins".
Is this correct ("written") about Erasmus. How could that be with an uncial ? Or is Owen misreading Erasmus ? The Council of Florence is mentioned prominently in the article by Sightler.
K. Martin Heide - June 9, 2007
[textualcriticism] Franciscus Lucas Brugensis and VaticanusErasmus believed, by mistake, in addition - and that may have been the reason why he was very reluctant to inspect the Vaticanus-readings more closely - that the Codex Vaticanus was tampered with after the Council of Florence, 1435. Sepulveda argued that this is totally wrong; Erasmus, in turn, agreed in so far, that he knew of this idea only second-hand, but nevertheless that did not convince him of the Codex Vaticanus ... so, nothing was changed.

Philip Maertens - Nov, 2012
The German site is mentioned elsewhere, this should be the one:There exist another digital copy at http://digibug.ugr.es/handle/10481/10067?mode=fullBoth copies have their imperfections.
The copy on the Spanish site lacks pages 320-321 while pages 314-315 are duplicated. Also interesting to note that page 204 reads 205.
The copy on the German site, if it doesn't lack pages, has a lot more duplicated: p. 72-79; p. 282-293; p. 408-429.
The Spanish copy occupies less space on disk but the German one is easier to read.

Michaelis and Codex Laudianus summarized, along with other scholarship:27- The possibility that Greek manufcripts in Alexandria were altered from the Latin no one can deny.

Traveling up a winding road in Provence
and humming along with the melody of
the Coors playing on Nostalgie FM radio,
she caught a glimpse of their silhouettes.
The three cypress trees.
Something drew her closer.
She was succumbing to the "France Trance."
She relinquished her control and just
let it happen. Her instincts had guided
her in the right direction before.
The diesel powered Peugeot turned in the
drive and the sounds of crushing pebbles
seemed to fade to a higher calling.
She had read of the symbolic meaning
of the three cypress in Provence.
One meant a drink for weary travelers,
Two, bread and cheese would accompany, and
Three, a place to rest your head.
The place was deserted.
A 300 year old farmhouse abandoned
for decades and battered by mistral winds
lay sleeping on the hillside while three
lonely cypress kept watch.
Good thing she had on her ballerines today,
as her promenade would have to be
choreographed around decay.
As she toured the fading elegance, tumbled
stones and aged timbers started to unveil
their beauty.
She was a dreamer, seeing beyond the ruins.
Her imagination being fueled by adrenaline
began to restore and furnish the interior.
Italian lanterns and 18th century
French candlesticks began to cast
their light against the pearly gray walls
that became a backdrop to a
Venetian buffet, a perfect resting
place for an antique Italian
gilt mirror that reflected the
Antique Italian chairs dressed in vintage
linen graced the floors like ballerinas
and awaited the guests at the Swedish table
adorned with French metal florist pots
embellished with wooden pom-poms.
Unbeknown to her, the
Louis XV fauteuils, gilt wood picture frames,
French antique painted tables, and accents,
the color of olive leaves, that existed only
in her mind now, would one day grace
the cover of Veranda.
She was having beautiful thoughts.
Visions of chalky, limed finishes,
crystal and gilt laden sconces,
finials and religious relics were
brimming over which once arranged,
would reveal their simplicity.
The gardens were already restored in
her mind and she could smell the scent of
lavender wafting through the air.
Peering out the 2nd story window,
she lingered a bit longer in her
"France Trance."
Fresh cut flowers along side French candlesticks
turned lamps, decorate the stone mantel and
a glass of eau-de-vie awaits a friend.
There would always be pain et fromage
in honour of the 2nd cypress.
Laughter and the sounds of clinging
glasses started to echo in her head.
The image of an old Venetian bookcase she had
discovered in a Parisian antique store crept
into her trance and wrapped itself around a
doorway. Trumeau's began to morph from
the walls and it was starting to feel like
a home. A place to bear her soul.
She would contact the architect Gilles Gregoire
who restored the fabulous Hotel La Mirande
in Avignon to help her realize her vision.
Once her vision became reality, Jacques Dirand
would photograph.
Whoops, you have to excuse me, I was in a
"France Trance."
I posted a few photos from this dreamy place
before, via Marie Claire, but was going thru
an old Veranda (2004) the other day
and Viola! There it was, in all it's glory.
Just had to share the photos.
I wish I knew who owned it, but the article
did not say. Another unknown on my dinner
A bit of a romantic I am, so I
like to think this is how she discovered it.
Dirand whose work was published
often in World of Interiors sadly passed
away last month, but leaves us with his
inspirational photography.
Well, I think I'll return to my "France Trance."
Want to join me?
Bisou mes amis!
Photos are via Veranda and Marie Claire Maison.

My my - some interesting happenings over the weekend. First, iPhone app developer Tiny Code (more on that mysterious link in a moment) pulled their apps off of installer.app, saying the following:
Tiny Code no longer produces fixes or applications for firmware 1.1.3. We can't say much, but we are working with Apple and with their SDK for the next firmware release and SDK applications and we shouldn't be missed for long. We will no longer update our Installer.app repo for legality reasons and you should see us soon on iTunes.
They said this at http://tiny-code.com, which if you visit you'll note is now redirected at the iPhone Dev Center. This, it turns out, was something developer "Kelly" did in order to, well, stop the tsunami of questions that followed his statement. It also turns out Apple was none too pleased about the leaks in the above statement.
Leaks? Yep:
- "shouldn't be missed for long" sounds a lot like "that event that's coming on February 26th"
- "you should see us soon on iTunes" sounds a lot like "iTunes is definitely going to be the way that these apps get distributed, sold, and installed."
- Next to the statement above was "Now targeting fw 1.1.4 Alpha 2." Oops.
Each of the three above "leaks" is a surprise to exactly nobody who's been watching the iPhone news with any degree of attention lately, but nevertheless Apple did some hand-slapping, as Kelly explains in this MacRumors forum post
One: Yes, I have a copy of the Apple SDK for the iPhone targeting firmware 1.1.4. Two: Yes, Tiny-Code.com was ordered to be removed from operation by Apple, Inc because by releasing firmware versions and stating I had possession of the firmware and SDK was apparently a violation of the Non-Disclosure Agreement I agreed to when I accepted a copy of the SDK and firmware. Three: Yes I was wrist-slapped by Apple and won't be included in any further firmware beta's or testing/coding.

How to get wireless going on Acer 3680
Subject description: Atheros AR5005G chip set
Got an Acer 3680 for Christmas and while wifi works peachy under XP I'd like to get it working under *nix. Puppy loaded up nicely and I can connect no problem via my DSL with either Win or Puppy but not via Wifi on Puppy.
The Acer uses the Atheros AR5005G chip set and I was on #puppylinux for a couple of hours getting help but we couldn't get things going.

My NEC also uses the AR005G (according to device manager in Windows
My rclocal file contains:
modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 1
iwconfig wlan0 essid inspiron8200
sleep 1
rm /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-wlan0.*
sleep 1
dhcpcd wlan0
sleep 1
but I don't actually know if this is what it uses, or if there is some other file with other commands. I would be interested to see how to find out which it uses....
This is in Puppy 2.10. I think it my rclocal file is the same in Puppy 2.12, which I usually boot.

1. The Atheros wifi chipset is supported by the ath_pci (MADWiFi) driver, which Puppy 2.12 now contains, so why use ndiswrapper? That involves extra work. Run "lsmod" to see if Puppy has automatically loaded it. If not, do this -
modprobe ath_pci
2. rarsa has done a lot of work to the Network Wizard so manual network commands should no longer need to be added to rc.local. Try it.

did the lsmod and here's what I got that appears to be associated with ath_pci:
ath_pci 92144 0
ath_rate_sample 14256 1 ath_pci
wlan 194268 4 wlan_scan_sta,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 191216 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
did the modprobe ath_pci but that just came back to a prompt, no other output. When I did the lsmod again there didn't appear to be any change.
In the Puppy_Network_Setup I have two interfaces, ath0 and eth0. I'm guessing eth0 is the ethernet interface and ath0 is the Atheros, wireless interface. Under Driver Modules I've got quite a little collection:
3c59x 8139cp 8139too acenic acx adm8211 airo amd8111e at76_usb ath_pci atmel_pci sky2
If I click "Load driver" and select "Auto Probe all Drivers" I'll probably get a few more. I'm pretty sure that isn't right but my experience with wireless is close to zero so, I don't know what's right and what isn't.
I just added b44 to my list of currently loaded ethernet modules.
Should I just scrub all the Puppy stuff residing on the hard drive and start over?

Since lsmod already shows the ath_pci module as loaded, there's no point in loading it a second time.
Just continue setting up the ath0 interface with the wizard.

Yesterday I tried Muppy, which is based on 2.12, without a save file (so no commands in the rclocal file) and then used the Network wizard. It showed it had the ath_pci driver loaded already, so it muct have correctly detected the wireless chipset. Then I just selected Autoconnect (my wireless network in unencrypted) and AutoDHCP, and I was connected.
Easy, peasy!

Ndiswrapper doesn't work in 2.12.
Does now in 2.13BETA2.

I scrubbed all the Puppy-created content to start fresh.
When I fire up Puppy_Network_Setup the first thing I get is:
"NETWORK CONFIGURATION OF ath0 CANCELED!"
Try again, or click 'Exit' to give up for now.
On the same page under Driver Modules I have to driver modules currently loaded; ath_pci and sky2.
Under "Interfaces" I've got two buttons; ath0 and eth0.
I'm pretty sure that at this point I ought to click ath0 to configure but much as I try, on the "configure ath0" page I can't seem to get any further.

Wow, this one is new. That message should only apear if you open the interface configuration window (click the interface button) and then close it or click back without finishing the configuration. Are you sure that you get that right away when you open the wizard?

OK. Please elaborate on "as much as I try".
Here are the steps you have to follow. Tell me if you are able to follow them or if you find any problems:
1 You see the ath0 button.
2. Click it.
3. Click on the "Wireless" button.
4. Enter your wireless parameters (This screen only works with Open and WEP connections, it still does not handle WPA)
5. Save the parameters
6. Click on the button for the profile you've just saved
7. Click on the "use this profile" button
8. The wizard tries to connect to the network. Check the message at the top of the configuration screen to see if it was able to find the network.
9. If it wasn't able make sure that you are entering the correct parameters in the wireless screen and try again
10 If it was able to find a network, Click on the button to either configure Static or DHCP IP address.
11. When prompted to save for next boot, just say yes.
12 Exit the wizard.

I have this card and should use ath0. When I first tried Puppy 2.13Beta2 CD I did modprobe ath_pci. When I started the Network Configuration I could see that ath_pci was loaded and I could a l m o s t connect but...Then I installed the system to harddisk and when I did modprobe ath_pci again I was told the the module did not exist!!! Ok, I thought, maybe there is a difference running from CD so I tried that once more, but this time I was told (again) that the module was missing. Then I tried ndiswrapper with no luck at all even though I am pretty sure that I tried with the correct windows driver. Is this difficult/strange or what?

Got the internal wifi working. It took the use of 2.13 and a fair amount of horsing around but I did get wifi connectivity.
It's awfully unpleasant since it's slower then a dialup modem and very...choppy. IRC and HTTP will do nothing for five or ten minutes and then it'll just take off. Not sure what that means but I'm smiling, at least a little.
Rarsa, that list of instructions was helpful more so since I'm so inexperienced with wifi. I just don't have any idea what to expect or what's reasonable. So I'm sort of poking experimentally at everything in the hopes that something good will happen. At least with your cookbook instructions I know that, even if they don't work for me, they work for someone. That gets me ahead because I can see how my experience differs from what your instructions tell me I ought to be seeing.
Now all I have to do is get a PCMCIA wifi card working since I really want to play with directional antennas like a cantenna and the Acer doesn't have an external antenna connector.

Make sure of the following:
- That you are within an acceptable distance of your Wireless Access Point (WAP): If you are too far or if there are thick walls or if it is in a different floor the connection will be weak and you will experience exactly what you are describing.
- That you are connecting to your own network: You may be close to your WAP but if you are connecting to a network that is far away (your neighbohrs perhaps) then you'll experience the problem describen in the previous parragraph.
If a neighbohr has an unprotected network it is not farfetched that you are connecting to that one instead.

Subject description: Atheros connection issue Puppy 2.13
I have very recently purchased an Acer Aspire3053WXMi this too has an atheros wireless chipset listed as (lspci as from PCLinuxOS)
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
In the puppy (2.13) wifi setup it detects both eth0, and ath0 with both the drivers loaded (ath_pci) I have tried via the gui setup and via cli to get ath0 to kick into life neither works, it accepts my wep key and essid, no access point is assigned nor does manually setting up a default route work.
as a side note Blinky picks up 3 possible network connections (eth0, ath0 and wifi0(?) the transmission -flashhing blinky screen - is stating wifi0)
I have tried to configure wifi0 from cli states no wireless extentions under iwconfig. I know that the Madwifi drivers are correct for the machine as its working 100% from my main install (PCLinuxOS) from which I am posting this. is there a missing' alias' required to get ath0 to be broadcasting out a dhcp request in order locate the network assign an access point to get a ip from the router?
At this time I am getting 'Puppy withdrawal', thank you in advance for you attention

i had some of the same problems with my atheros wifi card when using the network wizard after i did a full hdd install. the following is how i resolved the problems with more than 1 interface, and got my connection working better than it has ever been.
1). get the win98 drivers from the maker's website. (check to see that there is a .cat file among them)
2). place them in a handy folder, and open xterm there.
3). input the following code.
sh-3.00# source <filename.cat>
sh-3.00# ndiswrapper -i <filename.inf>
sh-3.00# ndiswrapper -l (that is a lower case "L", and this should cause something like the following lines in xterm)
netwg51u : driver installed
device (168C:0013:1385:4F00) present
device (168C:0013) present
sh-3.00# modprobe ndiswrapper (also add this line to your /ect/rc.d/rc.local file)
on my machine this gave me an interface called wlan0, and that seems to work just fine.
i don't know why when using the live cd i was able to connect just fine with the network wizard, while the hdd install required me to install manually, but it was so easy that i'm not worried about it.
another item of interest; i use RuTilt rather than WAG, i find it more user friendly.
so much to learn, so late a start.

rarsa and laptopnewbee,
As I wrote before Puppy 2.13BETA2 could not find the modules ath_pci and ndiswrapper after a harddisk installation. Today I found a quick fix.
1. I started up from the CD with
puppy pfix ram
modprobe ath_pci
3. Edited /etc/resolv.conf (added nameservers)
sh wlan.script
Bingo! I was connected.
My wlan.script
echo "Setting up WLAN connection..." && \
ifconfig ath0 down && \
ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 up && \
route add default gw 192.168.1.2 && \
iwconfig ath0 key "372C503C0D" && \
iwconfig ath0 ap 00:12:BF:0E:55:E7 && \
iwconfig ath0 essid "stocksund" && \
echo "Connection established."
I still can´t understand why the modules was missing when I ran Puppy from CD the normal way or from harddisk. Anyone?

Note: A flex fuel sensor is not included with purchase of the Zeitronix Ethanol Content Analyzer. This GM ethanol sensor is required in order to display the content on the ECA
Sensors are standard components of many flex fuel vehicles or may be purchased separately at GM dealerships (GM part number 12568450 or 12570260).
What's your ethanol percentage?
The ethanol content of E85 fuel can vary from 60% to 92% ethanol. A fill up with E85 can drastically change the mix of fuel in your vehicle. For performance drivers determining actual ethanol content of E85 is essential to maximizing an engine tune and horsepower.
Why know your ethanol percentage?
E85 has the equivalent octane rating of 105 octane gasoline. Higher octane fuel is more resistant to knock allowing for more aggressive ignition timing, higher compression and increased engine power over gasoline itself. The Zeitronix Ethanol Content Analyzer helps you get the most out of your engine and fuel.
Which vehicles have the flex fuel sensors?
A partial listing of vehicles with flex fuel sensors is listed below. Newer vehicles with the capability for using E85 also use flex fuel sensors. Check for sensors with the following part numbers: 12568450 or 12570260. A picture of the sensor is given to the right and dimensions of the sensor are also given below.

After Chapman visited the school and talked to them earlier this year, they knew they wanted to help find Katz.It is wonderful to see kids so excited about research. I hope to see many more stories of kids taking an interest in genealogical research. They have grown up with technology, and if they become interested in genealogy early, then they will be able to use this technology to find their roots (and find lost friends and relatives) in ways that we probably can't imagine yet.
"Different people looked her up in different search engines," said Mishal Sherwani, 14. "We found a little community newspaper item about her and her husband's anniversary."[...]Finding Katz didn't prove all that difficult for the social network-savvy teens."I love how the kids didn't believe they couldn't find her," said Susan Rice, communications director for District 203. "They just didn't think that was possible."

ferrantia needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 341 designs submitted by 80 freelance designers.
99 Enterprises
I am an entrepreneur that runs several businesses, and is ever looking to expand into more businesses.
The name 99 Enterprises (no relation whatsoever to 99 Designs), comes from a nickname my mom once gave me. She said I was always in search of just "one more thing" and was never quite satisfied. How true!
So I chose the name 99 Enterprises, and formed an LLC, as a way of expressing my interest in so many things and having a name that made that ok --- and a name that suggested my constant sense of searching for yet one more thing.
99 Enterprises should be versatile (think "Virgin" --- Virgin Airlines, Virgin Megastores, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Wines, Virgin Records, etc...) I dream of making 99 the same kind of thing.
This logo needs to be versatile. I work in consulting, e-commerce retail, publishing, print, wine, and more. Mostly, I'll be working with business partners and for savvy consumers - so 99 Enterprises should be versatile (think "Virgin" --- Virgin Airlines, Virgin Megastores, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Wines, Virgin Records, etc...) I dream of making 99 the same kind of thing.
99 is really the focal point. It's me. But 99 Enterprises is the name of the company so the word "Enterprises" cannot be left out of this logo or logotype (except in the favicon, of course).
The 99 should be immediately identifiable, clean, fresh, versatile (can work in both full color and single color applications), yet also work as a simple favicon or within a simple square icon, if need be.
99 should be identifiable on its own so that it can be used for other business titles (ex. 99 publishing, 99 wholesale, etc...)
I prefer a clean look that is professional, but I do appreciate the sense of color and versatility - so please try to understand my needs as an investor, entrepreneur, and young professional.
I've attached a few designs that I thought were interesting and that combined letters and numbers in a graphical way. (in the BBC logos - I like the treatment of the number 6 with the offset word...)
Thank you! And good luck!

A major donor has withdrawn a planned $100,000 gift to Westfield State University, saying he was "appalled at the lavish spending" by president Evan Dobelle, joining a growing backlash against the school after reports that Dobelle used the school's private fund-raising arm to foot the bill for luxury hotels, limousine rides, and other high-end purchases, including a trip to Asia.
A long-awaited review, part of which was obtained by the Globe this week, of Dobelle's spending habits, shows that Dobelle freely mixed personal spending with official business in credit card charges of more than $180,209 billed to the Westfield State College Foundation over a 30-month period. Even after months of analysis, however, the accountant who conducted the review said it was impossible to tell whether many of the expenses were legitimate.
Though Dobelle repaid $34,854, the review found, some reimbursements arrived up to three years after the fact — at a time when the accountant had already begun reviewing Dobelle's expenditures. And some personal charges such as clothing purchases and travel for Dobelle's family, the review found, should not have been charged to the foundation in the first place.
"I am hopeful that Mr. Dobelle will either reimburse the college or step down," John P. Walsh, president of Elizabeth Grady skin care salons, wrote to the Globe in an e-mail explaining his decision to withdraw a $100,000 pledge to the foundation, which raises money for scholarships and educational programs at Westfield State.
While Dobelle has accomplished much as president, Walsh said a recent Globe report detailing Dobelle's expenditures — including more than $500,000 for a celebrity speaker series and $118,000 to travel with a Westfield delegation to Asia — show money being wasted at a school where most students rely on financial aid.
"Authority should be seen as an example of leadership and responsibility, not a way around it," wrote Walsh, a Westfield State alum whom Dobelle had courted for a donation for years.
The withdrawal of Walsh's pledge is the most dramatic reaction to Dobelle's spending, which has roiled the public university near Springfield just days before students return for the fall semester. Governor Deval Patrick last week called for Dobelle to release full documentation of his spending, while a local radio station mockingly played the song "One Night in Bangkok" in reference to a city where Dobelle spent more than $8,000 for a four-night hotel stay.
"Are you kidding me?????" wrote Westfield State parent Kim Dacey in a letter to Dobelle on Aug. 18. "In case you need to be refreshed, Mr. Dobelle, some of us struggle to eat so our children can get an education."
Dobelle has strongly defended his expenditures as part of a plan to boost the school's "brand," which he described as "private value at a public price." Dobelle has admitted he sometimes charged personal expenses to the foundation in his early years as president, but insists he is more careful now.
"I am meticulous about" expenses, Dobelle said in an interview earlier this month, while adding that his work transforming the former teachers' college into a major university sometimes made him neglectful of details. "When you move about as fast as I do and you're all about being a change agent, these things can happen."
Privately, Dobelle has told aides that he has no intention of resigning the $240,920 job he has held since 2008, and that he will present his side at Thursday's board of trustees meeting where the outside review of Dobelle's expenditures is expected to be released.
Dobelle issued a statement Wednesday night stressing that Walsh never formally pledged the $100,000 gift he's now withdrawing, but said he should be pleased with the accountant's review, claiming it found "no personal expenses at issue."
"I invite Mr. Walsh or anyone else to contact me with any questions they have about" Westfield State, Dobelle said.
The controversy over Dobelle's spending has been brewing for more than two years after someone anonymously provided a stack of Dobelle's expenses to a university official who forwarded them to trustee chairman Jack Flynn. Eventually, board members asked the Braintree accounting firm O'Connor and Drew to look broadly at spending by Dobelle and his top administrators.
Foundation records show that Dobelle's free spending from 2008 to 2010 helped precipitate a financial crisis at the foundation, requiring a $400,000 bailout from the university so it could pay its bills.
The foundation board terminated the credit cards given to Dobelle and other administrators in late 2010, but the impact of the crisis is still being felt: Total scholarships handed out by the foundation have fallen from $145,595 in 2008-2009 to $88,396 this year.
The accounting firm finished a draft of the financial review by March 2013, but haggling with Dobelle and others over how and when to present it has delayed its release until now. In fact, when the Globe first inquired about the O'Connor and Drew audit in June, Dobelle's spokeswoman, Molly Watson, denied it was ongoing.
"There's no record of an audit being initiated," Watson told the Globe on June 14. "That's all the information I have available at this time." Weeks later, Watson clarified that the accountants were conducting a review, not an audit.
The review, which cost $58,000, contains two separate sections: one detailing the spending of foundation funds by Dobelle and three other officials, and the other detailing their spending of university dollars.
The Globe obtained the portion addressing foundation spending, which paints a picture of an organization with no clear mission
The accountant concluded the foundation put few limits on Dobelle's expenditures until late 2010, allowing needlessly expensive charges.
"Dinner meetings took place at high-end restaurants which might not be considered reasonably priced," the review stated. Dobelle routinely spent more than $500 for dinner at Rouge Restaurant in West Stockbridge, including a $621 tab for a group that included former governor Jane Swift.
In all, the accountant cited dozens of questionable expenses that Dobelle charged to the foundation from 2008 to 2013, including:
■ More than $3,000 in tickets to the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
■ $975 for tickets to see folk singer Arlo Guthrie.
■ An unexplained $8,000 wire transfer to Vietnam, one of several large undocumented expenses from the Asia trip.
■ A $35 movie in his Connecticut hotel room.
Dobelle eventually repaid nearly 20 percent of the credit card charges O'Connor and Drew analyzed, but often did so months or years after the spending took place. Dobelle repaid a $220 personal expense for an Aug. 26, 2009, visit to the Brix Wine Bar in Pittsfield more than three years later, on Oct. 1, 2012, when trustees had already asked for a review of Dobelle's spending. The same day, he repaid $337 for limo rides he and his wife had taken in September 2009.
But O'Connor and Drew officials said Dobelle's repayments were too little, too late: he should not have charged them in the first place.
"Even given the fact that the foundation was reimbursed, the personal use of the credit card should not have been permitted," according to the review.
The accountants also have reviewed Dobelle's spending of university money directly, including his university credit card and his use of a subordinate's credit card to make personal charges.
In an earlier interview with the Globe, Dobelle expressed remorse that his spending threatened to overshadow the good he has done for Westfield State, which has risen in US News and World Reports college rankings in recent years.
"In the scheme of things, I'm proud of everything," Dobelle said. "It's all about kids. It's not about drinking white wine. That's just not me."
But Walsh, a major benefactor, said at this point the main concern should be the financial integrity of the university, which Dobelle's big spending has undermined.
"The University Board has done an internal audit. They have the responsibility to determine the legitimacy of all funds," Walsh wrote. "Any expenditures that have been found to be excessive or are out of the normal course of business, including but not limited to travel, must be reimbursed."
Edward Marth, chairman of the foundation board, said he hoped Walsh will change his mind, but said he understood Walsh's frustration.
"I personally don't have the confidence myself" in how foundation money has been spent, he said. "If there has been any betrayal of trust in the way some funds have been spent — whether well intentioned or not — it's understandably hard to pick up the pieces again. But we're trying.
"We're committed to making sure that every dollar that is donated is going to be well and carefully spent."Andrea Estes can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Scott Allen can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
