- Cheers. And well done yourself on finding that bigger version and getting it up there. It did amazingly well. --jjron (talk) 09:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Historic images[edit]
Thanks for uploading some interesting historic images! If you haven't already, I suggest you check out Wikimedia Commons. For free licensed images (such as old public domain/US government images, etc) you can upload them directly there. Why? They will then be availible not only here on the English language Wikipedia, but also for Wikipedias in other languages, other Wikimedia projects, etc-- and putting them into any article here on the English language Wikipedia is still just as easy; do exactly the same as if it was uploaded here. Commons also has categories and galleries, allowing useful images to be found in multiple ways. Check it out, and let me know if I can be of help. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 06:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree! It saves a lot of effort having to reload them! Philly jawn (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Trinity and Brixner[edit]
I just called up his daughter and asked her for information. I did that for about a dozen people so far. Its a lot easier than combing though archives to get a day and place of birth. Once you have the info its easier to confirm with a Google search, no one has refused to talk yet. I can't even get my own family members to cooperate on family history, so its nice when others do it. Have you ever cold called someone? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Planchas de Plata (etc)[edit]
Thanks for your additions to the mining articles. I have never been to Planchas de Plata myself. A friend and I made a half-hearted stab at it years ago, but we could not find our way over the dirt roads from Nogales. It would be fun to see it. Plazak (talk) 21:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pete,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Trinity explosion2.jpeg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on November 26, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-11-26. howcheng {chat} 06:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Great image uploading[edit]
Thanks for putting the new image in George Harrison. I had a look at what else you have done, and see that you have been responsible for tracking down and uploading some fine images. I would second the comment above that many of the images you upload would be useful at Commons, and that it would be helpful to upload new images there, and to seriously consider moving some of your existing 'pedia images over there. Though on Commons the images must be free use - usable by everyone, so more care needs to be exercised on what is allowable. Anyway - keep up the good work!
I've given you a Wiki award which you may display on your user page! SilkTork *YES! 14:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've given you rollback. Remember only to use it for blatant vandalism, and revert manually when the edit is in good faith. You can test it out here. I also suggest you warn vandals with vandal warning templates. If you have any questions, please ask. Cheers, bibliomaniac15 02:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Art images[edit]
Wow, kudos to you for all the images added! I confess that I haven't really figured out WikiCommons - it's not as user-friendly as Wikipedia proper. I know low-rez images of art can be used as non-free fair use images, but haven't quite figured out the rules, so I stick to photos I've taken of public art or art in museums that allow photography. Michael Kabotie's passing is just shocking, since he was so active beforehand. Now that I think about it, there's a John Hoover sculpture that I have access too. Have a good evening! -Uyvsdi (talk) 07:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi
- Regarding the Annie Antone image, as long as the image is low-rez (i.e. no one could replicate her design based on a photograph), I believe it would be regarded as your photograph of a 3-D art form. I'd suggest uploading the file at Wikimedia Commons. The photograph would be "entirely your own work." For permission you could put it into public domain by typing in: "{ { pd-self } }" (without the spaces). For anything before 1923, I enter "{ { pd-old } }" (also without the spaces) for the permission. Hope this helps! The Heard would be a good spot to photo more artists. Cheers, Uyvsdi (talk) 17:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi
- Thanks for the tips. Too bad I'm such a rotten photographer. Usually, if I don't forget the camera entirely, the batteries have gone dead.
- Lo-res, eh? Well, I could use the phone-cam! Too bad I have absolutely no clue as to how to export fotos from the phone....
- Hmm. Actually, this computer has a webcam, which actually is (sort of) easy to use. I could try that for in-house art fotos. Hmm2 --Pete Tillman (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer[edit]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, lists of mines[edit]
I'm trying to get people who are willing to help me out with a pet project I've begun but realised that it will be extremely hard for me to even make a small dent in. First of all, I got your name from the list of active members on the wikiproject for mining articles. Please disregard this, if you're not interested.
So, here's what I'm trying to do and what you could do to help me. I noticed that there were very few articles that list mines. I've tried (to the best of my abilities) to create a sub-page that lists all of the probable articles for lists of mines that I could think of, you can review this here.
Basically, I need help. Suggestions on different lists to add, I need lists created, if the lede I've been using should be changed, I'd like community consensus on the standard layout (I've been going with listing articles like List of gold mines by country and List of mines in the United States by output. If someone would like to make templates for these articles.
Please, don't feel obligated. I came to you, and others like you because of your implied interest in mining articles. List articles are not exactly in everyone's taste. If you are completely uninterested, but think you might know someone who might be, please let them know about it. I could use all the help I can get.
Oh, and if you happen to create any new articles on mines, please add them to any of my recently created lists. Sorry for this being so wordy, have a good day and happy editing! Ncboy2010 (talk) 22:29, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for offering to help with the rewrite of this section.
I don't have an email address for you, so this is the only way I could see to communicate.

Thanks Pete for your support.
Way back I concluded that we weren't going to get anything but a picture of Climate Science with bias in all the details on every page, here at WP. I concluded that WP:NOR, essential as it is for most encyclopedic issues, works unfairly against material at the "fringe" as the truth in Climate Science has now become, thanks to the 1990s politicization of the science. Now I also realize that the equally important WP:N discriminates unfairly against those of the "old guard" in climate science who, having learned proper scientific method, saw the corruption the IPCC brought, and spoke out because their consciences directed them to. For what happens to such as Jaworowski? Their energy which had previously been directed to advances at the forefront of their field in which they were top, is sidetracked and no longer available for quite so much orthodox work. Then their outspoken pieces earn them adverse reputation where previously they had been lauded. Apostasy is the most unforgiveable of all crimes, so they have to spend even more energy in defending themselves from attacks and misrepresentations springing up on all sides. And if that is not enough, in Climate Science they are suddenly grossly outnumbered by the incoming wave of New Climateers, who have all been accepted on the condition of subscribing to AGW or CAGW.
Thus, I have to conclude that for Climate Science, WP:N cannot, simply cannot work as it should. But things are even worse. The existence of this unfairness not being recognized generally, means that a vicious circle is reinforced. Certain "old school" experts with integrity like Jaworowski fail the "notability" sham test. So they pass into oblivion here, or thorough condemnation where, especially if they are dead, they cannot defend themselves. People read Wikipedia and although it's not meant to be the last word in scientific accuracy, people take it on that way anyway. What Connolley et al did years ago has influenced the way other editors here look at climate science, even when those editors believe they are being neutral and fair.
WP:NOR and WP:N were developed with the best of intentions. But the path to Hell is paved with such. I'm just using Athene's shield - mere Awareness - to look at this Medusa. IMHO. Lucy Skywalker (talk) 23:27, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Tim Ball bio[edit]
Hi Pete
Thanks for your nice note on the talk page of my sandbox bio of Tim Ball. I've only just seen it. I cannot cope with the newspeak required here in the Climate Science area, it drains my useful energy, and my recent experiences have firmly driven me back to developing Climate Wiki where I and other climate skeptics can be the gatekeepers. If you would like to help, email me there. I've uploaded Tim Ball's bio there, but I still need to install templates to make it fully functional - help would be welcome! Lucy Skywalker (talk) 10:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for the slow reply -- I'm moving, and just got an internet hookup at the new place (El Guique, very rural NM}. I've started some notes and such for Tim Ball at User:Tillman/Tim Ball and that Talk page -- feel free to add or modify. I'll stop in at your new place later. Also see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Lucy Skywalker/Timothy Ball. Ugh.

Bigger thumbs in gallery (save in active)[edit]
Good morning Tillman. You recently edited Sikhote-Alin meteorite to increase the size of the images in its gallery. Scanning the first page of your recent contributions it seems you do this quite often. I personally find it unhelpful and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images#How_to_place_an_image suggests one shouldn't, the better approach if one prefers larger thumbs being to set an appropriate default size in user preferences. So... just wondering what your rational is? -Arb. (talk) 13:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, as you probably know, galleries sometimes become contentious for various reasons.
- However, the image size issue is due to an (apparently) unfixable software bug, that prevents the <:gallery> template from scaling -- it's fixed at 100px, which I and others find too small for most uses in articles. The normal image-size default is 180-220px, so I usually set it around there.
- There's an alternative gallery template that does scale: see Template:gallery & Template:Image gallery . In practice, though , these see little use.
- Thanks for your interest, HTH. I'm happy if you want to try something else at the meteorite page. I'll try to remember to save a copy of this note, as this is a topic that comes up now & then. Best for 2013, Pete Tillman (talk) 16:21, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- OK, here's a couple of previous discussions:
- Gallery image sizes, confirming the software problem
- Another size discussion
- What I can't find is the original technical discussion with someone else who'd looked into the software problem. But you can readily confirm the problem, by changing your preferences on a test gallery. Size will stay at 100 px -- <:gallery> doesn't scale. Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 05:51, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting links. I too have ageing eyes which I deal with by running my browser (Chrome) at 150% zoom. Without your changes galleries are fine; four or more images easily fit across the screen. With your changes there's room for only two.
- What I'm doing is a fairly standard accessibility approach for the visually impaired; your changes are breaking it. You do a lot of good work. This is not one of your better ideas. Please drop it. If it's really a big deal for you then focus your efforts on getting the "bug" fixed (have you reported it?); I'd support you on that. -Arb. (talk) 14:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I've reported the bug at least twice -- too bad I can't find that correspondence. It seemed hopeless to fix. I tried the alternate templates I mentioned above, but they have drawbacks too.
- Please change the meteorite article to your taste -- though hopefully not back to 100px squinters! I don't think your Zoom browser idea will catch on -- unless the user also prefers Large Type books <G> And I don't really think it's realistic to ask others to format articles for that technique.

WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force article for review[edit]
Hi Tillman, I found your name on the list of participants at WikiProject Environment/Climate Change task force and was wondering if you had a few minutes to look at a draft I've prepared for an article that falls under the scope of this task force: The Climate Reality Project
I've rewritten this article on behalf of The Climate Reality Project and for that reason will avoid all direct edits to the article. I have instead placed my revised draft in my user space for editors to review.
I left a more detailed note on the Talk page that explains several issues with the current version I have aimed to address. I've also proposed merging in the two articles on the organizations that joined to form The Climate Reality Project.
I hope reaching out to you on your Talk page is OK. I've tried posting at several WikiProjects and with an editor who was previously involved in editing the page, but haven't had much success yet. If you know of someone who might be interested in reviewing this, or a WikiProject I might have overlooked, please let me know. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

- Actually "Copyright infringing material should also not be linked to." = see WP:COPYVIO and WP:ELNEVER. I've had to revert you until you can show that it is copyright free. There's probably a reason why we don't have an image on Commons. The other issue is that I don't know how we can add an image of a reconstruction that isn't pov. See for instance [1] and this image[2]. Sorry Pete. The skull would be ok if we could find one. Dougweller (talk) 06:33, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Nothing like Son of Sam so please understand there's no gun in hand
from Eminem – Stay Wide Awake Lyrics on Rap Genius
David Berkowitz (aka "Son of Sam" or "the .44 Caliber Killer") was a serial killer in the late 1970's. His weapon of choice was a gun.
Eminem is saying he's nothing like Son of Sam because there's no thrill in shooting people. It's more fun to chop them up..

Cardinals QB Kolb ready to face Carolina Panthers
The Cardinals open up at home against the Carolina Panthers on September 11, and Kolb has begun the process of reviewing game film.
"I've watched a couple of games on my own, but not in detail," Kolb said. "I've learned in years past that sometimes when you watch to much film you over-think some things when you get on the field. I want to find that right balance between being prepared and doing what I do best."
Kolb completed 11 of 20 pass attempts for 205 yards against the San Diego Chargers, numbers that include one long 80-yard TD pass to wideout Larry Fitzgerald. The QB was encouraged by his play, but knows it's only the preseason.
"It's encouraging to see where we're at," Kolb said. "The key is that nobody settles and I know we won't because we got the right guys, the right mindset and we're hungry to win but we haven't done anything yet."
Although he had a strong performance, Kolb knows it was far from perfect.
"We're making the big plays and that's the encouraging thing," Kolb said. "But we have to clean it up which has been the same thing every week and I think we're progressively getting there. The crazy thing is that its just us."
After the season opener against Carolina the team travels to play the Washing Redskins, meaning the Cardinals' first two games will be against teams who combined for eight wins last season. This could be seen as a favorable start to the season for the Cards, but Kolb doesn't care who the team beats as long as they're winning games.
"It'd be nice to get off to a good start," Kolb said. "But again, once you're around enough you understand that every NFL team is an NFL team. They're all good, they can beat you on any given day so we have to make sure we are ready to go from the word go."

The third suspect in a Houston County kidnapping case is still on the run, but one of the men accused of abducting and beating a local teen-ager was in court Monday.
Labrosus Watkins of Huntsville's bond has been set at $500,000. Sheriff Lamar Glover said Watkins was sold marijuana by a Houston County teen and his friend, but they never delivered the drugs.
The 16-year-old allegedly gave the money to a friend and then was supposed to get away. Instead, he was taken to the Huntsville area, where he was stripped and beaten with two-by-fours and an axe handle.
The suspects in the case videotaped the beating. Police now have that tape.
The teen was treated and released at a Decatur hospital.
A juvenile has also been arrested in the case. Glover said he'll be charged as an adult.
Glover said the victim could also be facing charges in this case.
Prosecutors and investigators are trying to decide what charges to file against the teen and his adult accomplice for allegedly taking the suspect's money during the so-called drug deal.

"The market has Fed tapering priced in and barring any unforeseen circumstances, when the Fed does ease up on its asset purchases there should be very little impact on the markets," says Marc Tommasi, managing director at Manning & Napier Manning & Napier in Rochester, NY.
California hedge fund manager Joel Smolen at Axion Capital told me in an email last week that he is less worried about the Fed, and more worried about Syria.
According to a survey of close to 800 global investors conducted by Barclays Barclays Capital, 64% of respondents believe tapering will start this week and almost all of them expect it to occur before the end of the year.
More than 50% of investors expect little reaction in the Treasury markets if tapering
starts this week, suggesting that it is largely priced in.
Investors now perceive the removal of Fed stimulus will start earlier. 45% expect the Fed to finish their openended QE3 program in the second quarter of 2014, while most respondents in their June survey thought it would happen in the fourth quarter of next year or even later.
Investors have also brought forward their expectation for the first Fed hike. However, only 25% see a hike in March 2015 or
earlier. This contrasts with rates markets' pricing a 50% chance of a first hike in the target fed funds rate in December 2014. Respondents have also upgraded their modal expectation for 10 year Treasury yields to 3-3.25% from 2-2.25% in March. In the first, almost all investors believed Treausry yields on the 10 year would be below 2.5% by end-2013 and almost
none do now.
Syria is clearly the biggest unknown in the global market at the moment. The good thing is that investors are starting to believe they have a handle on it.
"As long as we stay on the diplomatic path, the dollar should strengthen. But I think the Syria crisis is settling down," said Vlad Signorelli, head of global research of boutique investment firm Brettonwoods Research.
Last Monday, Charlie Rose interviewed Bashar Assad. Then, Assad said that at least 15% of the opposition to his government is Al Qaeda or coming from Al Qaeda like groups. Rose brushed that off, saying it was just a small percentage and that the rest were legit. What viewers would be loathe to forget however is that it just took 19 guys from Al Qaeda to blow up the World Trade Center 12 years ago, Signorelli pointed out.
Assad insinuated he was not responsible for a chemical weapons attack in August that led Washington to beat the war drums.
The market has largely been discounting Syria since, thanks largely to the Aug. 29 decistion by the British government to oppose a military solution, and a very public plan made by Vladimir Putin to go after Assad's chemical weapons cache before firing missiles into the country.
"I would be short oil at this point," said Signorelli.
For now, the biggest threat from Syria is President Barack Obama giving up on the Putin Plan. He said he was ready for action "in case the diplomatic plan fails". Until then, it is unlikely that the U.S. will launch strikes. But if diplomacy does fail, as has been the recent case of U.S. imbroglios in the Middle East, then gold and oil prices would spike up and markets would sell off. Emerging markets would be particularly hard hit as investors tend to sell riskiest assets first.
According to Barclays, when asked what the biggest risk to global equities was over the next three months, 35% said the Fed surprisingly increasing interest rates.
In second place is Syria, with 20% saying the market is not ready for a worsening civil war, especially if it leads to military intervention or spills across borders into Israel.
Thanks to political unrest in Syria, the ancient city of Damascus is now the least livable city, according to The Economist Intelligence Unit.

New Release Movie reviews - September 4
YOUR SISTER'S SISTER *** (90 minutes) M
A trident of terrifically earthy performances grounds this sharp, twist-laden romantic comedy from American independent director Lynn Shelton (Humpday). In dire need of quiet time on the first anniversary of his brother's death, Jack (Mark Duplass) is sent to a remote cabin by his friend Iris (Emily Blunt). Expecting to find the place vacant, he encounters her sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), who has just broken up with her girlfriend. They bond awkwardly, both emotionally and physically, before Iris turns up to make matters even more complicated. In lesser hands what transpires between the three could have descended into farce, but Shelton, who also wrote the screenplay, keeps focus on the shifting emotional heart of the story. It remains an interesting facet of 21st-century American relationship comedies that, however broad or refined, they all end up consciously punching the values of friendship and family.
MONSIEUR LAZHAR (95 minutes; subtitled) M
After the puzzling on-site suicide of a much-loved primary school teacher, Algerian refugee Bashir Lazhar (Mohamed Said Fellag) is hastily hired to fill the position. With sketchy qualifications, a broken-heart full of baggage and a limited understanding on laws regarding working with children, he has a bumpy time confronting a classroom crammed with kids still recovering from their loss. Lazhar's colleagues also present him with a raft of thorny issues, especially when it comes to corporal punishment. A best foreign film contender at this year's Oscars, writer/director Philippe Falardeau bores into the insecurities of his main character to weave a touching, school-hall drama. Thankfully, the impressive cast of child actors actually behave like children, not like miniature adults. (See our list of best substitute teacher films).
HIT & RUN *** (100 minutes) MA
Fast cars, firearms and a likeable bad guy hungry for revenge fuel this pacy, feather-weight, throwaway chase movie. Charles (Dax Shepard from TV's Parenthood) is a criminal enjoying a happy rural life in witness protection who inexplicably violates the conditions of his contract when he decides to drive his girlfriend (Kristen Bell, aka Veronica Mars and still struggling to get her film career to fire) to Los Angeles to make a job interview. Eager to intercept them are a bumbling US marshall (a funny Tom Arnold) and the guy Charles squealed on (Bradley Cooper). The wafer-thin story, written by Shepard (who also wrote for Parenthood), is little more than an excuse for a series of nifty chase sequences and comic interludes, all mounted with the kind of fizzy enthusiasm essential for an inconsequential, enjoyable road movie lark to work.
KATH & KIMDERELLA DOG (86 minutes) PG
This isn't a comedy; it's a horror. With their dumpy mate Sharon (Magda Szubanski) in tow, Kath (Jane Turner) and whingeing daughter Kim (Gina Riley) leave the familiar streets of Fountain Lakes for a holiday in Italy where they encounter a financially strapped despot (Rob Sitch) and his scheming acolyte (Richard E Grant). Thus ensues a succession of semi-farcical set-pieces that laughlessly riff on fairy-tale cliches and romantic subterfuge, with Kath's husband Kel (Glenn Robbins) eventually being dragged into the proceedings when he sees them on TV. Almost every fear anyone could have about what could go wrong with a film version of the brilliant Kath & Kim TV series is realised here. Kath & Kimderella unspools like a Carry On movie, minus the wit. With truly dreadful production values, it's a clunky, ugly-looking, unfunny film that feels carelessly slapped together. While every member of the Kath & Kim troupe are rightly acknowledged as immensely talented, occasionally brilliant comedy talents, the film captures the cringe-worthy spectacle of their comic instincts deserting them. And why the story had to leave Fountain Lakes at all is baffling. It's as though the creators forensically identified everything that made the TV series - one of the best character comedies from anywhere in the past 20 years - and had then surgically removed. Brand loyalty is likely to see Kath & Kimderella enjoy an initial pulse of popularity before word-of-mouth takes hold. The 2005 tele-film Da Kath & Kim Code was much better.
WUNDERKINDER (96 minutes; subtitled) M
Seeing the moral terror of war from the perspective of children has rarely been done as well as it is in Marcus Rosenmuller's thoughtful, moving wartime drama. With the non-aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin in place, three musically gifted children from Ukraine embark on a tour of Russia. The fragile friendship between the two Jewish children Larissa (Imogen Burrell) and Abrascha (Mathias Eysen), and the lonely Hanna (Mathilda Adamik) takes on a new dimension when the pact breaks and the Nazis invade. With all Jews marked for special attention, SS officer Becker (a chilling performance by John Friedmann) takes a special interest in the children. His quiet, cultured manner is unnerving and leads to an expression of Nazi cruelty that puts one in mind of Sophie's Choice.

UW System head wants to limit tuition increase
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The University of Wisconsin System's president says he wants to reduce tuition increases over the next two years.
Gov. Scott Walker's 2013-2015 budget would provide the system with an additional $181.3 million dollars. System President Kevin Reilly issued a statement Friday saying that would enable him to recommend the Board of Regents limit tuition increases to 2 percent in each year of the biennium.
According to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, tuition at most system schools has risen around 6 percent to 6.5 percent annually since 2009. Increases at UW-Madison have averaged around 8 percent annually due to charges that school places on top of base tuition.
Reilly also announced he'll recommend the regents reallocate up to $30 million over the biennium to eliminate a waiting list for financial aid.

I have previously mentioned Lily, the baby elephant at the zoo here. Someone was nice enough to make a video of her first year at the zoo.
It didn't take long. Last week it was hot and sunny, and now we're getting rainstorm after rainstorm coming in from the Gulf of Alaska. Saturday night the basement was dry when I checked on my laundry. When I came back an hour later there was standing water. And a bigger storm is coming in tomorrow.
It's a little different than those years of drought down in California.

Grant Alan Acord was arrested Thursday night on two counts of possession of a destructive device and two counts of manufacture of a destructive device after police received a tip.
Officials suspect Acord had hoped to carry out a plan inspired by the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, according to Haroldson, who announced the charges at a Saturday press conference in front of the Benton County Courthouse.
Though Acord is a juvenile, The Oregonian is naming him due to the nature of the charges. Under Measure 11, juvenile defendants over 15 years old charged with attempted aggravated murder must stand trial in adult court.
Evidence suggests Acord had concocted a very deliberate plot that included a timeline and a checklist, according to Haroldson. Authorities had recovered at least six bombs they suspect Acord created, said Haroldson, including pipe bombs, a napalm bomb, Molotov cocktails and a bomb made with drain cleaner.
The bombs had been hidden in a secret compartment within the floorboards of his bedroom at his mother's house, Haroldson said.
"This was a very methodical process," he said. "He took time to even get to this point."
The attempted aggravated murder charges stem from the evidence they gathered, Haroldson said, which help show "intent and plans to carry out a deadly assault on a target-rich environment."
He did not suspect Acord had a clear-cut motive, such as targeting a specific person for revenge.
Haroldson expects Acord to be arraigned on the charges Tuesday in Benton County Circuit Court. He will also face charges of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device, as well as unlawful possession of a weapon with intent to use against another person.
Acord was arrested on Thursday at his home on the 2400 block of N.W. Violet Street, according to Albany Police. Members of the Oregon State Police Explosives Unit recovered evidence the following day from his mother's home on the 2600 block of N.W. Raymond Court.
Since the incident came to light, Albany Police completed two sweeps of West Albany High School and have determined the building is safe, according to Haroldson.
On the Oregon coast, near Florence, part of a Japanese shrine washed ashore.
A piece of a Japanese shrine entrance has been removed from the Oregon coast after washing ashore near Florence.
Someone spotted a 14-foot-long, red and black portion of a torii, a freestanding gate used to mark the entrance of a shrine or sacred area, Monday night at South Jetty Beach, said Chris Havel, spokesman for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, in a news release. Park staff removed the piece by Tuesday afternoon.
The piece is believed to be part of debris that drifted from Japan after a tsunami and magnitude-9 earthquake hit the country in 2011. Another piece of a Torii was found at Oceanside on March 22 and removed three days later, Havel said. Both pieces are being stored.
Japan's consulate office in Portland has been contacted about both pieces, Havel said.
Having a gun protects your household, apparently. Even if it's stolen.
A reader passes along the sad, instructive story of Genaro Hernandez Mendoza, an Oregon man who met his untimely end late last week. The 19-year-old Mendoza broke into a farmhouse in Independence, Ore., and came away with a pretty good haul, including a truck, a shotgun, and a rifle. Unfortunately, the house was located on a bumpy road, and as Mendoza drove away in the stolen truck, the rifle was jostled and went off. Even more unfortunately, the barrel was pointing straight at Mendoza. Police found his body hours later. The truck's engine was still running.
Everyone loves a crime story with a Twilight Zone-style ironic twist ending. ("And the Cookie Factory Bandit eluded the police only to be defeated by a more powerful foe: indigestion.") But Mendoza's death is mostly just sad. People don't generally turn to crime if they excel at a lot of other things. This man's demise is a tale of desperation meeting incompetence, with a death that reads as a punchline.
As with anything else, there's a learning curve for crime. Aspiring yeggs, take note: Crime is not as easy as it looks in the movies. Wear gloves. Plan an escape route. And don't point a rifle at your head when you're driving a getaway car on a bumpy road. The life you save may be your own.
Considering the final score of the Super Bowl I managed to overcome my grief quite well, thanks to Joanie's gentle ministrations. As I cheerily announced this morning, "This is the first day of the rest of my off-season."
There are things to consider about the Super Bowl halftime show, however. Glenn Beck's website suggests that perhaps Beyonce was flashing an Illuminati sign during her rigorous routine:
This is not the first time that Beyonce may have been flirting with the New World Order, although I seem to remember Madonna and Janet Jackson have used similar schticks.
The founder of registered SuperPAC Elect A New Congress said he heard Beyonce's performance "was pretty non-controversial" although he stood by his resolve to boycott her Superbowl halftime show, which he called "anti-liberty" earlier this week.
William Fawell, who runs the SuperPAC, accused Beyoncé of representing the rise of the military state and new world order Illuminati, because she has in the past performed with dancers dressed like policemen.
"I didn't watch it. But I think the whole thing was pretty non-controversial," Fawell said. "I didn't hear anything about storm troopers."
Up here in Oregon we have our own Illuminati fans to worry about.

I thought it was both fairly useless and over-the-top, until I found a similar one that was six pages long, with details like "is/isn't a good kisser" and "favorite breakfast cereal." By comparison, the first one looked positively restrained.
Looking at them more closely, I get the strong feeling that a few of them were designed by authors who needed a mental reminder of all the aspects of their characters that they could use – not so much a "fill in all these blanks and you'll have a great character" sort of list, but more of a "do you need to think about this for this character?" list. The rest look as if they were designed by professors who analyzed a bunch of stories and novels and worked backward from what they thought they found there, under the assumption that the writers made it all up before they ever started writing.
I do things that could possibly be called "character sketches," but they don't look anything like any of the worksheets or assignments I've seen. Mine have the character's name, who they are, and a couple of paragraphs of background information explaining what they've been doing lately and what they're up to, and that's about it. No list of "personality quirks" or goals or psychology; no childhood traumas; no physical description, even.
Emilie is an older relative – aunt? – of Everard, the head of the merchant guild. She teaches guild apprentices basic skills like reading and math, and has been doing so for at least two decades. She came up with the system and pushed it through (it was considered very radical when she started it), and is now highly respected for putting it into practice. She never married, but nobody has ever dared connect a scandal with her name; if she has lovers, she's incredibly discreet about them.
That's the actual notes about one of the minor characters who may or may not make it into the next book. For a major character, or someone I already know is going to be plot-important, I'll have three or four paragraphs like that, detailing who they are, where they came from, what they're up to, why they're important to the plot, and perhaps what their connection to my protagonist is (or will be). If the character is one of the ones who just walked into my head, and I know a lot of other stuff, I may make a few brief notes about it, but usually that sort of character is memorable enough that I don't need to write down those details.
As I get into the first draft, and various characters arrive on stage, I make up what they look like and add it to the character notes in an attempt to keep myself from writing that George has blue eyes in Chapter One, and then having George blink his brown eyes at someone in Chapter Ten. Similarly, I add any new background information that I discover and that I am afraid of forgetting.
OK, sometimes I add that kind of thing to my notes. More often, I mention something on the fly, like the antique tea set the heroine's great-aunt always uses, and then eight or nine chapters later, when I'm working up to the grand finale, I suddenly realize that it would be the perfect way for the villain to try to poison the heroine, and I go scrambling back through all the earlier chapters, looking for the scene where I mentioned the tea set so I can be sure it's actually in the story and not just something I thought about putting in and then changed my mind about.
But the most important aspects of my characters show up as I am writing about them. Right now, I don't need to know whether Emilie is still the passionately dedicated teacher she was as a radical young woman, or whether she's looking for a new challenge now that she's reached mid-life and her tutoring program is well established; whether she's devoted mainly to the guild or mainly to her students; whether she'll side with her nephew or with my heroine if she's faced with that choice. I'll find that out when she walks on stage and starts interacting with my other characters, and most especially when she's faced with a decision.
This is why my plot outlines never last more than a chapter: because until I write the characters, I don't know them well enough to make an accurate prediction of what they'll think and how they'll act, and whenever I'm wrong, it changes the whole direction of the plot.
Which brings me back around to those character worksheets. For me, they're pretty much useless; I need to know my characters, not just know things about them, and in order to know them, I have to write them. For other writers, worksheets may well be a lot more useful, especially if one views them as a memory-jogging tool rather than a form to fill out.
