User:Herbythyme be recused from RFCU case against Pieter Kuiper[edit]
I am letting you know of this thread I just filed. -- とある白い猫 ちぃ? 16:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
|Lovely - much appreciated - start a de-admin request please (given I haven't actually edited since I explained my position - so old history really). --Herby talk thyme 17:44, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- How is this helpful? -- とある白い猫 ちぃ? 00:05, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- As helpful as you posting a complaint about me regarding a page I've not edited since you originally suggested that I didn't do anything more on that page. It was already old news, it was an inappropriate posting as a "user problem" as there was no problem. Maybe not unusual for you however you must get a sense of perspective about this whole issue and that is not happening at present.
- In case folk are watching/interested I still see that scanning 6*/16 ranges of IPs (~400,000 IPs) is a massive invasion of other people's privacy and is fishing. If there were any evidence of another account run by PK I would check and block it without a seconds hesitation as I would for any Commons user evading a block. Checking random dynamic IPs is not acceptable on such flimsy grounds. --Herby talk thyme 07:52, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Layout suggestion[edit]
Hi, with regard to the page at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Pieter_Kuiper becoming an unreadable (and tedious) morass, do you think that moving your statement to the bottom of the page, and encourage any future personal position and clarification to be collected in the same place, might be helpful? A balance of voting options and a separated set of such individual opinions could be a neat balance to inform discussion without being quite so adversarial. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 17:04, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- Do as you wish - the page was out of control long ago. --Herby talk thyme 17:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi there[edit]
It's been a long time Herby. I popped by Commons to help someone at nowiki upload some stuff from Flickr - a quick glance at your talkpage here tells me not much has changed since I was active around here ;) Hope all is well, keep up the good work! Finn Rindahl (talk) 18:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- I would like to say Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose however sadly it is worse than that... --Herby talk thyme 14:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Everything tends to get a poetical sound in French, but I think I understand what you mean. I am glad to see folks like yourself, Walter and AndreasFB still here though. Finn Rindahl (talk) 18:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
File:Yann M'Vila Euro 2012 vs Spain.JPG[edit]
Hi, I saw that you deleted File:Yann M'Vila Euro 2012 vs Spain.JPG for copyright violation, but, as for some other similar images taken from football.ua site (for example some in Category:Spain - France, 23 Jun 2012), there was a OTRS permission linked in the license (the one in {{Football.ua}}). Since there's a permission it should not be copyright violation, is it possible to restore the image? Thanks in advance. --Simo82 (talk) 16:12, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently not from that site? Tagged with "© 2006-2012 Ltd "UMH Sport Live."" which was the basis I deleted on? --Herby talk thyme 16:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- It was taken from football.ua website: http://2012.football.ua/Default.aspx?menu_id=gallery&id=720&photo_id=45600. --Simo82 (talk) 15:51, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK - undeleted - make sure you put the right licensing on. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 16:34, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
File deletion slowness?[edit]
Hi. It's just me or deleting things here takes a lot of time? It takes several seconds since I press "delete" to the message that the page has been deleted to appear. Regards. --Marco Aurelio (disputatio) 22:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Do you use Internet Explorer? At least when using IE, which is my standard browser (my bad) I have made the same experience since months. However, the deletion is actually performed the moment you click on DELETE. At that moment you can close the window or click to somewhere else; you don't need to wait til the new window for the deleted file appears. --Túrelio (talk) 06:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's been crap for ages with various "updates" to mw software. I've had "time outs" in the browser for some months now. FF (of course :)) and yes I agree with Túrelio - the window can be closed early. The weird thing is just how slowly "nuke" can work these days... --Herby talk thyme 07:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks to both. I use Firefox and I wondered because there's an issue open at Bugzilla regarding this. I've instaled yesterday an InstantDelete script which was giving me some errors but when using the normal deletion method it happened the same to me, even a couple of timeouts. Regards. --Marco Aurelio (disputatio) 11:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Herby, Tian227e is probably related to a group of spambots on en.wikipedia. I've requested a CU investigation at en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tian220i. Could you take a look at the one on Commons? Best regards, Mathonius (talk) 11:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Already checked on Commons and nothing else on that IP (or close) however it has the characteristics of a pattern account from a CU perspective - they may be trying a new range. --Herby talk thyme 11:22, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- CU list mailed too so the req on en wp might not stay there as long as some ;) --Herby talk thyme 11:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
What would you call this?[edit]
Hi Herby, There is one of these located close to my home (yes, the image as such is terribly boring, but the construction is interesting). But what would you call such a thing in English? A cycle lane roundabout? There is also another term called bikeway. But what is the difference? Never easy to get these nuances right, when you are not a native speaker... If anyone wonders why we pay more in tax in Denmark than anyplace else in the world, constructions like these could give a clue (suffice it to say that the traffic density in this place is not overwhelming). --Slaunger (talk) 20:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- I did find the category Category:Roundabout cycle lanes, which may give a hint for the right terme to use, but the other photos there show cycle lanes integrated in a normal roundabout for cars. Is there any way sensible way in English to indicate that it is a "stand-alone" roundabout cycle lane? --Slaunger (talk) 21:07, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- Seems possible that the Danes are more advanced in their cycling than other parts of the world...:) I can't find any category etc that is better. Most UK cycle paths tend to be on old railway lines so the idea of junctions doesn't really occur. City centre lanes tend to be an afterthought so cycle dedicated roundabouts will be rare (though I suspect some exist). I certainly don't know another word to describe the feature. --Herby talk thyme 06:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Herby, I hope you can endure teaching in another another English lesson. Speaking of things for which I am uncertain about the correct English term for: What is such a small tower called for converting high voltage grid voltages to house-hold voltages (250 V AC in Denmark) using a transformer. In Danish we call it "transformatortårn" (transformer tower), but is that also what it is called in English? --Slaunger (talk) 13:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I found this website called Wikipedia...;)
- I think we are lazy and call them transformers however I guess they would also be referred to as substations (which probably have transformers in most of them). Something else is nagging at the back of my mind and if I remember what it is I will let you know. --Herby talk thyme 14:49, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- It's not a substation (same number of wires going out as there are going in... substations generally "break up" a transmission line into smaller transmission lines or service lines), but are you sure that's a transformer at all? It actually looks like a tower re-purposed as a utility pole. --SB_Johnny talk 17:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I am pretty sure high voltage (probably 10 kV) goes in on the front (thus the high voltage insulators), and then converted to household voltages with same number of poles. Basically a transformer wrapped in bricks. The same kind of thing was installed at the countryside at my childhood place in Denmark. There the transformer was just free standing integrated in a lattice mast, and not integrated into a brick structure (but thanks for the interest). --Slaunger (talk) 17:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Investigating a file deletion[edit]
Hi. Back in 2009, you were the admin who deleted what was, as best I can tell, the audio version of a Wikinews article from 2008. I honestly have no idea why this was deleted, and the deletion log entry hasn't helped me understand (it seems very strange that the audio version of a Wikinews article, created by an apparently reputable Wikinewsie, would have been "promotional"). Can you shed any light on this?
--Pi zero (talk) 17:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Wow - my bad definitely (but it was a looong time ago!). Some passing IP had put a load of crap on the file page & I didn't take as much care as I should have. Apologies and undeleted. --Herby talk thyme 17:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Herby, I came across Tian389i (talk · contribs) and I've blocked it (see here for related accounts). Could you please take a look? Mathonius (talk) 03:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yep - can almost set your clock by that bot account creator... Blocked a puppet account and have now blocked a rather large range which I dislike but has only bad accounts on (I'd blocked a section of the range yesterday but these two where just outside it!). Cheers --Herby talk thyme 05:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Herby, I have the feeling that User:Takabeg could be an excellent administrator who seems to know most languages around Turkey, an area that is hardly covered by administrators. --Foroa (talk) 08:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Bit short on edits :) maybe! Languages look very useful and tr would be a good addition. --Herby talk thyme 08:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
deleted image[edit]
You deleted an image I uploaded, which is fine, but I currently represent said artist in Sweden. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chantillyone (talk • contribs)
- To be accurate I did not delete the image but I marked it for consideration by another admin who did delete it. The only way that we can host an image of an album cover will be if the record company freely license it via COM:OTRS I'm afraid. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 06:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
NP. It's a massive record company that doesn't always even know who is in their catalogue I'm afraid, though if that image is here or not isn't that important./Maria
You are invited to take part in this discussion about Jermboy and his various accounts. Thank you. Fry1989 eh? 03:49, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
User talk:Luodingyu[edit]
Hi Herby, will you please look at the unblock request at the above page? I looked through the CheckUser Log but could not find a check performed on this account. If this requires any amount of privacy feel free to shoot me an email. Thanks, Tiptoety talk 06:16, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Very very strange - I can't even see that I have checked the IP. I've unblocked and apologised. I will try and work out what happened for my own benefit. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 06:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
de-admin request[edit]
Hi there, Herby. Regarding your last advice. How and where should I submit it? Am I right, supposing that it would be a kind of a de-election process with AYE/NAY voting system? — George Serdechny 08:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Why did you block me? 100421[edit]
14:20, 8 July 2012 Herbythyme (talk | contribs) blocked Kristoferb (talk | contribs) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation blocked) (abusing multiple accounts)
I don't use multiple accounts and I have no idea what you could possibly mean by "abusing". I live in an area that requires the use of a VPN which results in multiple IPs. Please resolve this immediately.
--220.127.116.11 14:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- You seem to think this is funny - It's not. Like I said, I use a VPN to access this website, so you will be maliciously blocking IP's forever if that is your attitude. Your time would be better spent resolving this problem, not making it worse. --188.8.131.52 03:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Apologies - I have replied on your talk page (after being away for a couple of day). The block was incorrect and resulted from the use of an abused IP. --Herby talk thyme 05:47, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

deleted my sopning page ? ?[edit]
why is that ? do u have a reason.. sopning is like wading a description of when u walk in the edge of the ocean in bare feet in shallow water.. `??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ask.landrup (talk • contribs)
Can you check if File:Ranimaria11.jpg is the same as the deleted file File:Rani maria 01.jpg uploaded by the same user? It might be a derivative of the same file with the background edited out. When comparing this image with the image in the source tag of the deleted image, the pose matches up. If it isn't a copyright violation, it does have a questionable license. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep - good catch - gone & user warned. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 15:53, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
In regard to the deletion of image on Tara Strong[edit]
Hello Herbythyme, I noticed that you removed the image recently uploaded to the Tara Strong page due to copyright concerns. However, that image was uploaded with the explicit consent of Tara Strong(owner) to be used for her Wikipedia page. See source below: https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/234364771623907328 https://twitter.com/PlushieBrony/status/234360210674831360
Thank you, we hope this clears up some things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dzstoyanov (talk • contribs)
- Update*
Hey Herb, could you link me to the source for the copyright of that image? Also, thanks for letting me know, I guess I'll ask her to get her husband to take a picture of her or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dzstoyanov (talk • contribs)
moved from your userpage to here[edit]
INCREDIBLE: You order deletion of some of my pictures for this reason: "Este archivo es una violación de copyright por la siguiente razón: Given that this is a scan "own work" is unlikely." So, I am sure you know another way to digitalize analogic pictures on films rather than using a scanner. Any real photographer should be able to see the pictures were scanned from original films I owe. User Armienne. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armienne (talk • contribs) 17.

You deleted my pics Bath 1, Bath 2 Bath 8[edit]
It is an unfair act for you are acusing me of violating author's rights. Those images belong to me, I am the photographer and the model. Your reason is really silly: They were scanned. I really believe you don't know anything about photography because the only method to digitalize analogic picures on film is scanning them. It is incredible. @armienne — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armienne (talk • contribs)

(Moved here from above) Because deleted my page Rede Pantanal? I just put a logo and picture of my (creator), my central page with the list of pages in Facebook and some of the MANY OTHER sites I have! I'm famous in my country enough to not need Wikipedia to self-promote myself, I'm a journalist, writer, historian, heraldist and other many activities and have hundreds of interviews on TV and thousands of articles in newspapers. I'm a big contributor of Wikipedia for many years, with other profiles that lost access or use not more, on several issues as some that can be seen on the pages I created recently "Ladário_(Sátão)" and "Pelourinho do Ladário" (see links in thereof). What was the problem? It includes a PARTIAL list of my sites? I'll remake and just put my corporate page on Facebook and the website of my company. I leave my vehement protest registered by your attitude! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rede Pantanal (talk • contribs)
- Neither Wikipedia, nor Commons, are intended for self-promotion. In particular, Commons is a repository for copyright-free media, and not articles about anything, and (although I can't see it) I believe your page here was properly deleted. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 00:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes - your page consisting almost solely of links with the phrase um sistema formado por sites is simply promotional and so an abuse of Foundation webspace. Do use facebook etc - however do not use Foundation sites - that is not what they are for. --Herby talk thyme 07:25, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Spamming on a user talk page[edit]
Hi Herby. They now start to spam on a user talk page of a blocked spambot via IP addies. Perhaps you can block one or more ranges? And did he create more spambots? Thanks in advance for your help! Trijnsteltalk 21:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- If you have time, you may always check the spambots from here and here. ;) All are locked afaik. Trijnsteltalk 18:57, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Question about a blocked editor[edit]
Hello Herbythyme,
You blocked User:Rodwinoloresisimo for "Abusing multiple accounts". Which other account(s)? I don't for a moment doubt that it was a good block, but alas I'm not very familiar with commons - I mostly work on en.wikipedia. I came here to propose deletion of some of Rodwinoloresisimo's uploads after dealing with what seemed to be deceptive editing outside of commons. If they used a different account here, maybe it might be a key to finding other deception elsewhere. (For instance, a sock used on enwiki for more promotional editing). Maybe there's another page where the block or sockpuppetry was mentioned, but [2] sheds no light on it.
Thanks for your time! bobrayner (talk) 18:08, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- This user uploaded copyright violations under multiple identities and originates from an IP address that has a number of similar users on it. My recollection is the abuse is also on en wp and that I informed en wp CUs of the issue. Personally I imagine it is an SEO organisation or similar.
- No posts anywhere on here as I tend to deal with CU issues without any drama if possible!
- Away until early Nov (I think) but will respond when I can. Hope that helps. Regards --Herby talk thyme 12:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Puppet account Jermboy[edit]
Hello. Same question about User talk:Jermboyfarish, whose other account User talk:Jermboyfarish11 has been blocked later. Without knowing how the user had abused accounts before, I wonder if he's been forgetting his password. --AVRS (talk) 10:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Links here and here should lead to further info. Long term serial puppeteer! --Herby talk thyme 12:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Accounts blocked whitout serious reasons[edit]
What did you mean by "Bot created pattern account" ? I am French, I am not a Bot and I never contributed on Commons. I just whoud like to import free-of-right files to illustrate articles on french Wikipédia. --Qmffqjopz (talk) 19:02, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

- Responded (& unblocked) on you talk page --Herby talk thyme 19:53, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Merci beaucoup. I first created the pseudo I use for years on the net: Qmmfqjopz. Vous l'avez bloqué et j'ai donc créé le compte Qmfqjopz avec une autre IP pour pouvoir vous répondre. But too slowly and you blocked this second account too. Then I created the third account Qmffqjopz with a third IP and could finally answer. You have unblocked the first one, but the second IP is still blocked and my friend is unable to use his own connection! So you should unlock them too. Thank you. --Qmmfqjopz (talk) 21:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- The problem should be eliminated now. However please confine yourself to using one account only.
- Your image which you uploaded may well have its licensing reviewed if it is a screenshot of a television program as seems the case with its use on fr wp. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 21:20, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- For years my only account has ever been Qmmfqjopz and it has now been migrated to the unified login system of the Wikimedia Foundation. I was obliged to create the other accounts to be able to write on this page! Please delete them now, since I don't have permissions to do so by myself.
- Please look at the page Bonne nuit les petits, and tell me what kind of image should replace mine in such a situation. --Qmmfqjopz (talk) 03:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- Stick with the unified account then - it will be easier for you. It is not possible to delete accounts. When I get the time I'll look at the image properly. Regards --Herby talk thyme 08:00, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Regarding editing restrictions[edit]
On commons, am I allowed to edit whilst logged out? (I know this is a silly question, but I'm checking whether any editing restrictions against me prohibit me from doing so.) Kiko4564 (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- I guess it depends what you are doing really. There is no real issue with editing as an IP however if you are effectively pretending to be someone else by using an IP and your user account that would be wrong. Probably best to be logged in as a general rule - not sure what you gain otherwise. Regards --Herby talk thyme 16:56, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Deletion of File:Vishwashanti pravarthak.jpg[edit]
Hi! You recently deleted the image File:Vishwashanti pravarthak.jpg noting as Copyvio. There was a discussion of deletion of this image previously also and it was kept then. Also here it was concluded that all images published by Anant Shivaji Desai are PD-India. Please restore that image. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- I deleted it mostly based on this. I think the background to this may be questionable too - the uploader has a history of uploading copyright violations under a number of names. I'll look some more today. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 07:38, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
A note was added to my Talk page about deleting a submission. Can you identify which submission will / should be deleted. Thanks. MikeVdP (talk) 17:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Othertree[edit]
Hi Herby. I was wondering if you might take another look at this - we struckthrough all images which were derivatives of other, uncontested, Commons images, and that leaves only 2 cameras in use. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:40, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism from my userpage. I've seen that you've removed some promotional content of Musée d'Aquitaine, as a member of the GLAM group from Wikimedia France I have contacted our glam mailing list to try to help this institution for its first steps on Commons/Wikipedia.
Recently the ministry of Culture has publicaly encourage GLAM to contribute to Wikipedia, do not hesitate to contact me (User:Jean-Frédéric, or User:Léna) if you find other promotional contributions of french GLAM institutions. --PierreSelim (talk) 19:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

2. The Smorgasbord at my grandmother's house. Everything smelled so good and the decorations were beautiful, with lots of candles burning in Swedish candlesticks, and the huge amount of food on the buffet table, beautifully dressed with Swedish linens. My uncle dressed up as the Swedish tomte. Seeing who would find the almond hidden in the rice pudding.

Grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins coming for Christmas dinner, tables pushed together in order for everyone to fit. Lots of laughter at the dinner table. The best Christmas cookies ever. Listening to Christmas music, sipping eggnog. Friends stopping by in the evening to visit. Driving around at night, looking at Christmas lights.

Memory #1 - Sitting in the dark living room early morning with only the light of the Christmas tree and enjoying the quiet of the house.

Memory #2 - Laughing with my family. We have a large family and I grew up in a house full of love and laughter. Some of the best Christmas times were spent at home with nowhere to go surrounded by family.

Memory #3 - Doing something for someone anonymously and knowing I may have made someone smile. Usually I will try to do something for those in need and just share the blessings of this life.

You are right, Claudia. It was so easy to come up with three that I could keep going with many more. And I find after typing them that it filled my heart with joy just thinking of them. Thank you for your gift of encouragement and Merry Christmas!Stacyhttps://email@example.com

Planning and design for Eisenhower Expressway rehab ok'd; funding the next mile marker to meet
Chicago's old post office on the west side of the Loop has always seemed to mark the exit from the City to the 'Burbs. Now the old landmark is one step closer to marking the start of a 30-mile construction project to refurbish the Eisenhower Expressway.
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation approved the first phase of the Eisenhower Improvement Project. The Ike, also known as Interstate 290, is the six-decade old artery that brings 100,000 vehicles a day into Chicago from the west.
Plans for the $2.7 billion project call for widening and rebuilding Interstate 290 to four lanes in each direction, making the entire stretch of highway from the Loop to I-88 four lanes.
Two center lanes between Mannheim Road and Racine Avenue are to be converted into 'Hot 3+' lanes which would let carpool vehicles and buses drive free but other drivers would be charged a toll for access. The toll cost would vary according to traffic density.
However, construction of the Eisenhower Improvement Project is dependent on overcoming some significant speed bumps first.
First, before any construction begins on I-290, IDOT officials say managed toll lanes must be installed on Interstate 55 between southwest suburban Bolingbrook and Chicago. That means the Illinois General Assembly needs to act on a proposed joint resolution that would allow the IDOT to pursue the I-55 toll lanes through a public-private partnership. To date, the Assembly has not acted.
Without the completed I-55 work or any public or private commitments to fund the I-290 project, no timeline has been established.
Deadline to act is in four days...
Illinois Tollway officials are asking for public input on its plan to redo the interchange...
Governor proposes a $425 million road construction project that may be funded by tolls....

Eroding Dan Brown's Alleged Intellectual Objections
Taken from Geogroy Koukl Tactics, pages 180-183.
Cracking the Code
I followed my two-step plan when evaluating the historical claims of the blockbuster novel, The Da Vinci Code, whose broadside on Christianity and the Bible created a public sensation, along with termendous turmoil for Christians. First, I isolated the claims. The author, Dan Brown, made it simple in most cases by stating his contentions clearly. Here are some of them:
-In the first three centuries, the warring between Christians and pagans threatened to rend Rome in two.
-The doctine that Jesus was the Son of God was fabricated for political reasons at the Council of Nicaea in AD 235 and affirmed by a close vote.
-Constantine arranged for all gospels depicting Jesus as a mere mortal to be gathered up and destroyed.
-The Dead Sea Scrolls found in a cave near Qumran in the 1950s confirm that the modern Bible is a fabrication.
-Thousands of Christ's followers wrote accounts of Jesus' life. These evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version.
Because I now had specific items to assess, my job was much easier. The first challenge was simple. Even a cursory analysis of this period of history reveals there were no wars between pagans and Christians, and for a very good reason. Jesus' followers had neither armies nor the will to resist. Instead, they considered it a previlege to be martyred for Christ. They wouldn't even fight tormentors like Diocletian, who executed Christians by the thousands just twenty years before Constantine.
The Council of Nicaea was not an obscure event in history. We have extensive records of the proceedings written by those who were actually there: Eusebius of Caesarea and Athanasius, deacon of Alexandria. Two things stand out in those accounts that pertain to Brown's claim. First, no one at Nicaea considered Jesus to be a "mere mortal," not even Arius, whose errant views made the council necessary. Second, Christ's deity was the reason for the council, not merely the result of it.
After a pitched debate, the orthodox party prevailed. The vote wasn't close at all; it was a landslide. O 318 bishops, only the Egyptians Theonas and Secundus refused to concur. The council affirmed what had been taught since the beginning. Jesus was not a mere man; he was God the Son.
Regarding the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, Brown might be forgiven for not getting the date right (the first scrolls were discovered in the 1940s, not the 1950s). There is no excuse, however, for another misstep: The Dead Sea Scrolls say nothing of Jesus. There were no Gospels in Qumran. Not one shred or shard mentions his name. This is a complete fabrication.
As for the rest of the claims, I want to let you in on a little secret. Answering the second question–Is the claim factually accurate?–does not always require investigation. I mentioned earlier that sometimes it is possible to spot a wrong answer even when you do not know the right one.
Before beginning any research, first ask "Does anything about the assertion seem suspicious or unlikely on its face?" For example, early in The Da Vinci Code, Brown claims that over a period of t hree hundred year the Catholic Church burned five million witches at the stake in Europe around the fifteenth century. I was immediately suspicious of this "fact," so I quickly took out my calculator and did the math. Rome would have to burn forty-five women a day, every single day, non-stop for three hundred years. That's a lot of firewood.
Furthermore, a quick Internet search revealed that the population for Europe at the time was about 50 million. If half were female (25 million) and half of those were adults (12.5 million), then something like 40 percent of the entire adult female population perished at the hand of the Vatican. That's more carnage than the Black Plague of 1347, which killed only one-third. Let's just say this seems highly unlikely.
Many of Dan Brown's other claims can be quickly dispatched using the same technique:
-If the deity of Christ was an idea invented by Constantine and completely foreign to Christ's followers who viewed him as a mere mortal, what explains the "relatively close vote" at Nicaea?
-If the early records of Jesus' life are so corrupted and compromised with "countless translations, additions, and revisions," and if "history has never had a definitive version of the book," from where does Brown derive his reliable, authentic, unimpeachable biographical information about Jesus?
-How does Brown know that thousands of Jesus' followers wrote account of his life if the great bulk of these records were destroyed? This is the classic problem for conspiracy theorists. If all evidence was eradicated, how do they know it was there in the first place?
-How is it physically possible for Constantine to gather up all of the handwritten copies from every nook and cranny of the Roman empire by the fourth century and destroy the vast majority of them?
Each of these difficulties becomes obvious when you take a moment to ask if anything about the claim seems suspicious or implausible on its face. Granted, sometimes unlikely things turn out to be true, but when that's the case, the evidence has to be very precise and convincing. Usually, this question can save you some sleuthing.

during our last visit sunday, i lost at cards 7 to 2. Maniac Mike was thrilled. he just rubbed it right in. guess it's time to send him another jinxed card so i can start winning again. are all men like this about cards? sheesh.
then i also had to hear all about Dale Jr (or just 'Junior') being rammed and knocked out of first place where he had been for most of the race, by two team members of the particular team that Jeff Gordon (aka The Asshole) belongs to. i had to hear ALL about it. i had to hear about points and The Chase and cheaters and on and on and on. i managed to stay awake and i was proud of myself for doing it. i also had to hear about Notre Dame football, but by that point, i wasn't really paying attention. i think they lost or something. whatever.
now MM has arthritis really bad in one of his thumbs so he cannot bend it in to touch his palm. so, what is he worried about? his golf game. i looked at him and asked, "just WHEN was the last time you actually played golf?" he mumbled, "er, um about 25 years ago." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i don't know when he'll find time to play golf with the 2 Pugs, the Golden Retriever, the goats, the chickens, the reindeer, the cats and the cow. i let slip "the cow" and he jumped right on it..."so, i can get a cow now? you said i couldn't have a cow, so does that mean i can have one now?" yeah, right WHATEVER! as long as i have my prairie dogs, i don't care. get a goddamn moose if ya want!

I am very excited about armv8 as existing armv7 single board computers lack the processing power and bus speed to fully support gigabit networking throughput. For example, the BeagleBone advertises "Gigabit ethernet" but can only hit somewhere in the 300-500mbps range due to internal bus limitations. I've heard this is due to lack of good gigabit ethernet chipset support in the existing ARM ecosystem.
The existing products lack physical ethernet ports. Are there any plans to produce a development board with a physical true gigabit port? My ideal board would be one with very minimal graphics (designed for headless use in a data center) and one that focused on fast disk I/O (e.g. USB 3.0, eSATA) and networking (gigabit ethernet).
Hi - the 96Boards Consumer Edition (CE) is targeted around mobile and embedded 32 and 64 bit SoCs that typically support eMMC/SD disk storage and wireless or USB based networking. It is possible to put an RJ45 Gigabit ethernet port on the Extended Version of the CE, but few mobile/embedded SoCs support this interface. By the end of June expect to see the 96Boards Enterprise Edition (EE) which is targeted at high end embedded, networking and server SoCs, including facilities for USB 3.x, SATA, high speed networking 1GBit+, and PCIe. This is directly targeted at your ideal board description and you can expect to see first boards in the market later this year.

Threats about hidden bombs set to detonate imminently in dozens of schools across North America this week arrived by the office fax machine.
The first targets were schools in McDermott, Ohio, and Atlanta, Ga., then Maricopa, Ariz., all of which received the same ominous facsimile. Then, at about 9 a.m. Wednesday, RCMP in Ottawa received a fax that threatened carnage at Prince Edward Island schools. Within about an hour, nearly 20,000 students had been evacuated. No bombs were found.
"This was received by fax," RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Baillie said. "The fax was forwarded to the RCMP in Prince Edward Island. This fax indicated that a bomb had been placed in a number of schools in Prince Edward Island. It didn't specify which schools. It did state that the bomb would be detonated."
Roughly 30 minutes later, a school board in Winnipeg received a threatening fax, which came from out of the country. It was determined to be a hoax, according to a note sent to parents.
"Behind the scenes there's a whole other investigation going on in regards to possible related incidents, and to try to track down the person or persons who made this threat," Baillie said. He said investigators are tracking similar bomb threats in Nova Scotia, to see if they are linked to the American cases.
The use of such an outmoded technology seems unusual, said Nicole Tishler, a PhD candidate at Carleton University who researches terrorist hoaxes.
There was a comical quaintness to the use of faxes for such a dastardly purpose, as there was, for example, when Jordanian security forces intercepted an ISIL carrier pigeon this year. The message clashed with the medium. In Canada, it has been years since the previous terrorist application of the fax machine, a device the BBC once described as "the business tool of the yuppie age." (That was Lorne Matthew Lapoleon, convicted in 2007 of faxing police a false report of a bomb plot in Vancouver.)
It was as if the threat had come from the mid-1990s, perhaps from an elderly terrorist who has forgotten his Hotmail password and can no longer find a payphone.
Tishler said it is relatively common for students to make false bomb threats to avoid exams, a more extreme version of pulling the fire alarm. "But because it was a fax that was used, I would be surprised if it was a student. Even a high school student, right now, I don't think would even be aware of fax technology," Tishler said, only half in jest.
(@PEITF) September 21, 2016
She cautioned that actual terrorists could use nonsense threats or hoaxes as a way of "spreading response capacity very thin," to increase the odds of a real plan succeeding. Likewise, hoax threats have been used to observe response times and patterns.
"Something like this could be used for both ends," she said.
In this latest case, authorities in Winnipeg quickly determined it was a hoax and kept the students in school. In P.E.I., police were more cautious in ordering evacuations. They also caused minor confusion by recommending that school staff search their own buildings for bombs, call the police if they find anything, "and at that point we'd likely look at bringing in bomb disposal people."
Soon after, they issued an "important clarification," advising that police, not teachers, should investigate any unusual items.

Spend Time with Younger Brother Tomorrow NightJuly 8th, 2009
With the release of their debut album, A Flock of Beeps, UK producers Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan's psytrance (psychedelic trance, get it?) outfit Younger Brother took on a cult following in the underground electronica scene back in 2003. Since putting out a second disc, The Last Days of Gravity, the duo has toured with a talented backing band comprised of Marc Brownstein (Disco Biscuits) on bass, Joe Russo (the Duo) on drums, Thomas Hamilton (Brothers Past) on guitar and Ruu Campbell on vocals. So if you like your dance music with a side of expert musicianship, head to Terminal 5 tomorrow to close your eyes and cut loose. Check out Younger Brother here performing "Ribbon on a Branch."

What did we all do as kids growing up here in Winslow? Hasn't that been asked throughout the years? Most likely since 1835 when the town was first formed.
I don't know what my great grandparents did. I would imagine picnics and church socials were the activities of the day. I know watermelon season was a big event in our area, as was wheat threshing. It seems every old postcard you read from the area someone is asking if you are coming for watermelon or to the wheat threshing, as the machine traveled from farm to farm.
Very early on, the town would hold dances. The businesses would have "Token Night" on Fridays. My grandparents grew up in the Muren area. On Friday evenings they would walk to town on the railroad tracks or road, and ride the train if they could afford it. It was the 20s and 30s, the time of the Depression. People would come to town to mingle and visit. To see and be seen. You didn't even have to have any money. The Ingle Barn in Ayrshire hosted dances, cattle auctions and the boys could play basketball in the loft. A movie theater came to town. You could see a movie for a nickel. My grandma saw her first movie here, a silent film. She knew who all of the old silent film stars were.
My dad grew up here too. He and his brother walked to town along with all of the neighbor boys on the weekends. Boys worked back then. They helped with the family, but had a nickel or two for themselves every now and then. My dad worked on the Hume Farm in Massey. In the summers, they would work in the water melon patches at Decker, turning and picking melons. My dad was two years younger than his brother. He remembers how scary it was walking through the Kitchen Corners and bottom land between Ayrshire and Muren. The older boys would tell spooky stories, then run off and leave the younger kids behind. Dad said he ran as fast as he could from Ayrshire to Muren many a night.
As for me, I have my memories of growing up in the 60s and 70s.
A good memory is my dad loading us all up in the car to go for a drive, because there was no air conditioning. The Line Road was his road of choice. It had a canopy of trees across it, all shade. I can still see myself leaning against that back seat with my window down, feel the cool air rolling right over my face, watching the leaves on the trees and the sky above me. It looked like a kaleidoscope.
My brothers and I lived on our bicycles. You did not dare ride on the sidewalks. Someone who owned a store would come out and chew your butt out. Sidewalks were for walking. I rode my bike for miles and miles. My friend and I would ride to Muren. We rode to Hosmer. We even rode to Petersburg two times. We would ride to Seven Lakes in Campbelltown and swim.
I had a paper route the summer when I was 12. I delivered the Evansville Press and the Sunday morning paper on my pink stingray with the white basket, a birthday gift from the Oakland City Western Auto. The pink and white streamers on the handlebars that I had bought at the dime store with my paper route money sparkling as I rode.
I remember one week, a girl around my age was kidnapped in Lawrenceville, Illinois. My mom drove me that Sunday morning on my paper route. In the summers, a bus took Winslow kids over to the Petersburg Pool 2 days a week. For a quarter you could ride the bus, for a quarter you could swim. If you were lucky, you could get a quarter for refreshments. It didn't really matter if mom and dad could afford that, just getting to go swim was enough. Twice a week there would be a big pile of bicycles under the tree by the road up at the old high school. We didn't have to lock them up with chains, they were just always there when we got back. I can still see my brothers with their ball uniforms on and their mitts hanging over the handlebars on their bicycles, riding to the ballfield. We hung out at the river alot, fishing with cane poles we bought at Speed Erwin's bait shop and playing around at the dam.
We had root beer floats and cherry cokes at Parkers Drug store. The Dog n Suds was there, but the hippies hung out there and our parents made us stay away. We would try to read comic books or the latest Teen Beat at Parkers or the Dime Store, but those mean old ladies were right on top of you. You couldn't read it unless you were going to buy it first. I really wanted to see if Archie picked Betty or Veronica or what David Cassidy was up too, but had to put it back on the shelf. We would walk around town, looking for pop bottles to return for a nickel.
I saw some comments that a few of you left on my posts mentioning sledding at Oak Hill Cemetery:
Oak Hill cemetery brings back many memories for me. Not only are many of my ancestors buried there, but the cemetery and the road down "Goose Hill" were the main spots to sled when we had enough snow. I fondly remember one decent snow fall in the mid to late 1960's (probably 5 or 6 inches) when several young people spent the day "preparing the hill". We poured water down the hill in the back of the cemetery to create a very slick sled run and built ramps to jump sleds off. That evening, I'd bet there were 50 or more kids and adults there that night gathering around a bonfire and riding sleds. Someone brought a galvanized metal Coca Cola sign (round sign that rode like/better than one of today's plastic discs). Kids rode the sign down the hill as well as sleds. It's a great memory for me of growing up in Winslow, Indiana! -Joe Dedman
Yeah… I remember that coca cola "sled". I took my sled to the cemetary one morning after the bonfire. As I came to the bottom of the hill, I couldn't turn my sled fast enough and cut off my finger on the coke sign. It scared my cousin so bad he ran back to my grandmother's house that was at the bottom of the cemetary hill and left me behind. My parents took me to Oakland City to the "hospital" where I spent the next few days. Looking back, I was upset about my finger. I was upset about a pair of new gold colored knit gloves that had to be cut off my hand. I really loved those gloves. -Brenda Pirkle Tullos
Those comments made me go get my old photo box and start looking for my photos of sledding at Oak Hill. We actually went sledding in the cemetery. There was an old car hood in the valley, left there for that purpose. The valley was cleared out back then. It took 2 or 3 kids to pull that heavy thing up the hill. But you could pile several kids on it for the ride down.
My kids had the Bridgeout Festival to attend in the 80s and 90s. It was actually a very nice Midway with carnival rides. I liked it better than the Pike County Fair. They rode 4 wheelers and bicycles with their friends. They had the Pantry with its Candy Lane. They had the Igloo for ice cream. Winslow is still hilly, that never changes. They had sledding. My son spent literally hours at the little creek on the bottom of the cemetery hill on East Street exploring. One summer every empty jar he could find had crawdads in it.
Last Saturday, the town held the Community Festival, reminiscent of the BridgeOut Festival held in the 80s and 90s when the old steel bridge was torn down and replaced on Highway 61. For $3.00, you could play on the Midway for the entire day. A kid could ride the wagon pulled by a tractor down to the park for free. The Methodist Church had free popcorn. There was a karaoke contest. Bands played. There were fun kid contests. A car show, a tractor show. A chainsaw carver carved a Winslow Eskimo, which is still their school mascot, from a tree stump in the park. For very little money, a kid could run around town all day and have fun.
During the Summer, the local churches sponsored a Skate Night on Friday nights. Volunteers helped work, and kids could skate for $1.00 at the old gym. Kids were walking around our neighborhood, after having started a dog walking business. They would walk your dog for $1.00. Humm, wonder what they needed the dollar for?
Bicycles are still the preferred mode of transportation for the kids in town. One gorgeous day which I was enjoying on my screened in porch, a group of about 12 kids rode up to my neighbor's house. They had a "Bicycle Club". They were riding around town gathering all of their friends. They were discussing the name for their club. I thought to myself, how simple and timeless.

Putting Eating in its Place
Posted by tinako on June 3, 2012
I read an article my dad clipped out of The Wall Street Journal for me, "A Divine Way to Resist Temptation,"which is about how it seems to be easier for people to control what they eat when the restraint is religious-based, such as kosher rules.
We're not Jewish, and my dad probably recognized that I would appreciate this not from a religious law basis, but from a values perspective. It is not hard for me to resist eating animal products, because they are so dissonant with who I want to be. A friend, standing with me in front of a non-vegan dessert display, once told me I must have a lot of willpower. Her comment took me by surprise because willpower doesn't enter into it. These products represent misery and do not appeal to me at all.
This brings me to something I heard in a Buddhist talk. Gil Fronsdale made the point that sometimes what seems like patience, isn't. For someone whose buttons are being pressed, say by a long ticket line, they have to actively be patient, but if their buttons have been deactivated through practice, there is no call for their patience – the wait in line is just not a problem. And Starbucks desserts don't press my buttons any more.
Returning to the title of this posting, when we forgo the pleasure of certain foods or accept the boredom of waiting, whether for a higher power, compassion, or just to remind ourselves of the Buddhist concept that waiting in line is a perfectly fine place to be, what we're doing is taming our sense that we have to have what we want when we want it, being slaves to pleasure of all sorts. (Do you understand the difference between pleasure and happiness? This seems like a good explanation.) One of my favorite parts of my daughter's choice to become vegan is that she will get lots of practice saying no thanks; I believe this will make her stronger in every aspect of her life.
Veganism was the big push – it was a painful decision, but then I was highly motivated to say no to a lot of food. Since then I've found that every time I decide to reduce another food in my diet, it gets a little easier, counter-intuitive if you consider that with each restriction the pool gets smaller. But I'm just not that attached to any particular food that much any more – I love my choices and the taste of food, but none of it has hold of me. What a feeling of liberation, and this from someone who couldn't have candy or tortilla chips without gorging. I find this decrease in attachment translates over into other parts of my life as well – I could just as well call this post "Putting Pleasure in its Place."
So if your habits seem too hard to overcome, try to find a more compelling reason to let them go.

Midnight at the Oasis
Gulg is less a city than a compound. A dense, multistory forest city, Gulg is divided into several smaller communities called dagadas, each of which consists of about 10 to 50 huts and which are organized by families. The buildings are thatch or mud, the roads little more than trampled earth.
Still, the sorceror-queen, Lalali-puy, has accomplished what few of her peers have: Her people legitimately love her. She is the bringer of plenty, the herald of rain and harvest, and none under her protection starve or thirst. All property is hers, and she holds power of life and death over every soul in Gulg.
Gulg does not have a traditional nobility; instead, they have the judagas, a meritocracy of hunters who serve as the heart of Gulg's army. Judaga means "headhunter," and they fight amongst themselves for position, wives, slaves, livestock, and luxuries.
Lalali-puy's templars are called ngangas, and they are not judges, priests, or mere guards, as they are in other cities; instead, they are secretive witch doctors who work on the edges of society to protect Gulg. They never act openly; the only clue to a nganga's presence might be bloody footprints going into the forest. Those who become ngangas must "die," losing all ties to their family and dagada. They cover their faces with masks or war paint in the appearance of a fierce monster.
The city has a bitter rivalry with nearby Nibenay, as both fight for control of the same forest; Gulg grows new trees and plants, while Nibenay benefits from logging and harvest.
Visitors are rarely allowed inside the city, often forced to stay in an inn outside the city while residents leave Gulg to deal with them. As such, few have seen the interior of the city.

A day after Kiwi International Airlines thought it had won a reprieve from a Government-imposed death sentence, the Federal Aviation Administration yesterday grounded the struggling carrier, saying that it was unsafe to fly.
The agency ordered Kiwi to suspend its entire six-city schedule immediately, forcing the airline to cancel its daily flights, beginning yesterday afternoon and continuing today. Three flights from Newark International Airport, where Kiwi is based, to San Juan, P.R., Orlando, Fla., and Miami had already taken off yesterday morning when the order was issued.
It was the first time the Government had shut down a scheduled carrier since Valujet was grounded in 1996 after one of its DC-9's crashed in the Everglades, killing 110 people.
The action forced hundreds of Kiwi passengers with return tickets to make alternate plans and left 80,000 others who paid for advance reservations on the airline over the next 11 months holding potentially worthless tickets.
Robert B. Kulat, a Kiwi spokesman, said that the airline planned to meet with the F.A.A. today and was not sure how long it would be grounded. ''We don't know what's going to happen,'' he said. ''We stand by our safety record. We have flown over 8 million people without incident.''Continue reading the main story
On Tuesday, Kiwi filed for bankruptcy for the second time since its founding in 1992 and simultaneously announced that it was receiving a $3 million bailout from Pan American Airlines, the once world-renowned carrier that itself has risen from the dead twice since first going under in 1991 and is now a charter carrier.
Kiwi hastily concluded the deal with Pan Am after the Department of Transportation in Washington threatened to revoke its operating license because it said that Kiwi did not have competent management and was not adequately financed. Kiwi lost $20.6 million last year and owes various airports $750,000 in fees.
At the time, the Government gave Kiwi 14 days to respond but did not prevent the carrier from continuing to fly. Indeed, it specifically stated in a news release issued on Tuesday that the F.A.A., which is part of the Transportation Department, had determined that Kiwi was operating safely.
Yesterday's complete reversal of that position created confusion that added to the inconvenience suffered by many Kiwi passengers.
The airline had no representatives at its check-in counter at Newark Airport in the afternoon, even though scores of passengers had arrived to find that their evening flights had been canceled. Mr. Kulat said the Kiwi employees had been sent home. A handful of airport employees, who work for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, tried in vain to help the stranded passengers make other plans.
''It was just chaos all over the place,'' said Jinine Richiusa, one of the Port Authority workers. ''Most airlines are not honoring any Kiwi tickets.''
John and Joli Weber of Lambertville, N.J., were scheduled to fly on the 5:50 P.M. flight to Orlando for their first vacation in six years. Mrs. Weber said that she had called Kiwi yesterday morning after she heard about the bankruptcy filing and that the airline had assured her that its planes were flying. She also heard a radio report that said that the Government's action had not affected Kiwi's schedule.
''All they can offer us is a free telephone call,'' she said, referring to the Port Authority workers. ''I could just cry.''
The couple tried to book tickets on Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines but both were full. ''I guess we are just going to drive home,'' Mr. Weber said.
Asked what had changed overnight that caused the Government to reverse itself, Eliot Brenner, the F.A.A.'s spokesman in Washington, said that the agency had been examining Kiwi for months and only reached its final decision to ground the carrier yesterday morning.
But a Federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that that the apparent flip-flop was the result of miscommunication and the Transportation Department's attempt to draw a distinction between its job of determining an airline's financial and managerial fitness and the F.A.A.'s role of overseeing safety.
''The fitness office was trying to write a press release to make clear that fitness and safety are two separate issues,'' the official said.
The F.A.A.'s order cited a series of maintenance and safety violations that it said resulted in Kiwi flying airplanes that were ''in an unairworthy condition.'' In one case, Kiwi flew one of its four jets for two days in late February without fixing an oil leak in one of its two engines, the agency said.
The F.A.A. order could prove a fatal blow for Kiwi, which was founded as an employee-owned company by pilots who lost their jobs at other carriers. It struggled from the beginning. In 1994, the F.A.A. briefly grounded the airline, saying it had inadequate pilot-training records. In 1996, the airline was forced to ground 4 of its 15 jets when the F.A.A. said the pilots were not properly trained.
That year, the airline was rescued from its first bankruptcy by Dr. Charles C. Edwards, a Baltimore surgeon, who has invested more than $20 million in the carrier and is its chairman. The airline now flies four leased jets and has 500 employees.
Jim Peters, an F.A.A. spokesman for the Eastern region, said that in order to resume flying, Kiwi must apply for an operating certificate as if it were a new carrier, a process that can take several months. Kiwi has 10 days to appeal the order but it still cannot fly during that time.
Jeff Kriendler, a spokesman for Pan Am, which is based in Portsmouth, N.H., said that the F.A.A. action could threaten its proposed investment in Kiwi. ''We have an agreement in principle but we have not funded it as yet,'' he said. ''We will have to see what develops from here.''
Mr. Kulat, the Kiwi spokesman, said he did not know if Kiwi would have the resources to refund all its outstanding tickets if it went out of business. Asked if the airline could survive being grounding for months, he responded: ''If it is that long, quite frankly, the F.A.A. probably threw 500 people out of work and angered 80,000 passengers.''Continue reading the main story

That's right, folks, it was time for our every-two-year venture to the movies.. Geoff's Dad and step-mom came in and babysat all the children, and we went to The Hobbit. And then I went back and read some reviews, and lo, they were mixed.
I must say that parts dragged but on the whole I liked it. I'm much less purist about The Hobbit in book form than I am LotR, and so I was able to just enjoy it. Also, Martin Freeman is wonderful as Bilbo and carries the movie.
Plus the plates song is great.
