I just bought an older iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo) running the last possible OSX version 10.8. Only OpenEmu v1.04 or lower is working on this machine, all newer versions need at least OSX 10.11.
It looks like v1.04 (and all other lower versions) is starting/running well, that means I can click through the starting sequence and enter the main window. It is also possible to load any bios and import/launch roms. BUT it is not possible to start them: I tried different games on different platforms, but the result is always the same: Black screen/window, nothing happens, not even any error message is coming up.
Anybody who has an idea what's wrong or what to do to get OpenEmu v1.04 back to work?

A Day to Remember Announce Second 'Self Help' Festival With Bring Me the Horizon + More
A Day to Remember have just announced plans for their second Self Help Festival. The band independently produced the first fest earlier this year in California, but this time they're headed off to Philadelphia on Oct. 4.
Putting together a festival isn't easy, especially when you consider the financial aspects. However, A Day to Remember must have been happy with the result, because just six months after the first Self Help Festival, A Day to Remember, Bring Me the Horizon, the Wonder Years, the Story So Far, Motionless in White, Chiodos and Gnarwolves have been confirmed for the fest's second edition. Even more acts will be announced soon.
This will mark A Day to Remember, Bring Me the Horizon and the Story So Far's second Self Help performances.
Speaking about the name of the inaugural festival, ADTR singer Jeremy McKinnon shared, "It actually came from a conversation I was having with my girlfriend and Josh's about what it's like to be in the crowd at one of our shows. She told me that most people who come respond like its more than just a concert to them. It's like the music is genuinely helping them … Thus we titled our festival Self Help, because at the end of the day, that's what music's all about."
"We eventually want this festival to go a lot of places, so this is just the first step in that direction," A Day To Remember's Jeremy McKinnon says in a new statement. "'Self Help' is a festival done right! There will be amazing bands and an amazing production in Philadelphia."
A third Self Help festival, which will be held back in California, is also being planned for March 2015.
The second Self Help Festival will be held in the middle of A Day to Remember's 2014 tour. For the full list of dates, click here. To grab tickets for the October event, click here.

Chronicle 5. THE ENIGMATIC SEA PEOPLES
Χρονικό 5. ΟΙ ΑΙΝΙΓΜΑΤΙΚΟΙ ΛΑΟΙ ΤΗΣ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑΣ
BEFORE WE GO WEST, we need to sail into the "Great Green" (the Mediterranean to the Egyptians) in search of the Sea Peoples, meeting more migrant bands on the way. Voyaging in space and time, in history, legend and myth, we must go back to the explosive finale of the 17th century BCE, the "big bang" of the Minoan volcanic eruption on Thera-Santorini, for it occurred very close to the period the Sea Peoples initially appeared in Egypt. If we take into account the wrecking of the Minoan navy policing the seas, we can presume that these peoples were nothing but pirates at the time, and we also realize how interdependent the great powers were in the ancient world. Later the Egyptians started identifying various bands of Sea Peoples in their own style, and one of the first mentioned were the Sherden or Shardana, a large group of pirates.
They disrupted trade in the end of the 13th century and contributed greatly to the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization. Nonetheless, they are not mentioned in either Hellenic or Hittite legends or documents, suggesting that they did not originate from either sphere of influence. Many scholars relate the Shardana to Sardinia due to the similarity between the two words. Based on the same principle, the archaeologist Margaret Guido proposed that the Shardana might have ultimately derived from Sardis and the Sardinian plain nearby, in Lydia, and perhaps migrated later to Sardinia. It seems that many people, and not only the Trojans that would become Romans, left Anatolia and the Aegean for the Italian peninsula and its islands due to the Bronze Age collapse, rather than before. There is evidence that gives credit to Virgil's Aeneid – without excluding the possibility of earlier migrations. Recent genetic studies indicate that the populations not only of people, but even of cattle, in various Italian regions, especially in Tuscany, are more related to Anatolia, mainly in the northwest, than to anywhere else.
A famous passage from Herodotus portrays the migration and drifting of Lydians because of famine:
"Their king divided the people into two groups, so that the one should remain and the other leave the country. His son, Tyrrhenus, was to be the head of those who departed. They went down to Smyrna and built themselves ships. After sailing past many countries they came to the Ombrici, where they founded cities and called themselves Tyrrhenians."
We can't but remember that Anatolia faced the same acute problem of famine in the time of the collapse and, as a result, the Sea Peoples, then a coalition of seagoing migrants, closed ranks seeking relief from scarcity. Drought could have easily precipitated socio-economic problems and wars. As regards the story told by Herodotus and its link to the Sea Peoples, several scholars contend that those called Teresh by the Egyptians were none others than the Tyrrhenians, or Tyrsenians, who are often identified with the Tusci (hence Tuscany), the Latin exonym for the Etruscans, or Rasena, as they called themselves. The Tyrsenian linguistic family, together with Etruscan, includes the Lemnian language, spoken on the Aegean island of Lemnos until the 6th century BCE. Another Aegean tongue possibly related to the Etruscan was the Minoan Cretan. A third Aegean island close to Anatolia mentioned as their possible homeland by Thucydides is that of Lesbos. The Romans, as Virgil's readers, identified the Teresh with the Trojans. This version would serve their interests for the Etruscans were their rivals. If they showed that they had a common ancestry, any further animosity between them would be considered fratricidal. There are some clues to support this view. Several writers, as e.g. Andrea Salimbeti in "The Greek Age of Bronze: Sea Peoples", note that a Trojan connection in the case of the Teresh or Tursha should be at first taken under consideration:
"Troy appears in a Hittite record as Taruisa. It is a reasonable assumption that the people of Taruisa called themselves by some name close to this; stripped of vowels so that it can be compared to the Egyptian spelling".
The Troad was outside the territory but within the sphere of influence of Hatti. However, another Hittite record points to a different location, for it contains a list of cities, among them Tarsa, most likely Tarsus. These toponyms and corresponding ethnicities would be written down in Egyptian hieroglyphs or in any Semitic script as "T-r-s" or "T-r-sh" – that is, without vowels.(a)
Anatolian connections have been suggested for other Sea Peoples, as well, like the Lukka (Lycians). Most striking is that the vast majority of them seem to have descended from the Troad. Therefore, some researchers, such as the Swiss geoarchaeologist Eberhard Zangger, have proposed that "the Sea Peoples may well have been Troy and its confederated allies, and the literary tradition of the Trojan War [e.g. the Iliad] may well reflect the Greek effort to counter those raids."(b) Therefore, despite the attempts of many historians to discredit the historicity of the Iliad, the Trojan War is considered a historical event and a key to grasp the underlying causes of these epoch-making developments. "For sure, the Sea Peoples' movement was one of the largest and most important migrations in history that changed the face of the ancient world more than any other single event before the time of Alexander the Great", Andrea Salimbeti remarks. This long, ravaging war, in combination with the widespread famine in the entire peninsula, created the explosive conditions leading to the collapse. Under the circumstances, many Trojans, allies or neighbours became refugees, and some survived by their wits and swords. Archeological evidence leads to the conclusion that the Sea Peoples were not pirates anymore, nor raiders plundering and pillaging established cities, but instead a mass of people looking for a place to settle, in search of a home. This was obvious since their first invasion of Egypt under Libyan leadership when they were accompanied by their families and belongings. The Libyan tribes also played a role in the first campaigns against Egypt. Herodotus and Hecataeus mentioned one of them centuries later. It was the Berber tribe of the Maxyes or Mazyes, the Mazaces to the Romans or the Meshwesh to the Egyptians, who also claimed to have a Trojan heritage.
Despite the attempts to discredit the historicity of the "Iliad", the Trojan War is considered a historical event. "The Sea Peoples may well have been Troy and its confederated allies, and the literary tradition of the Trojan War may well reflect the Greek effort to counter those raids." (Eberhard Zangger)
An important Sea People have been the Peleset, identified with the Philistines, the Palestinians:
"One of the theories links them to the Pelasgians who were allies of Troy, and one group of them lived in Thrace", Andrea Salimbeti explains.(c) "Those Pelasgians would have migrated south, overrunning and fatally damaging Achaean Greek civilization. Shortly after, many would have gone farther south to Crete." In addition, there are Biblical references to the Philistines as coming from a place called Caphtor, identified by certain scholars with Crete.(d) "This theory", Salimbeti adds, "has been somewhat strengthened by the discovery in Crete of the Phaestos disc. One of the symbols shows the head of a man crowned with feathers – very similar to the feather-topped helmets of the Peleset depicted" at the Temple of Ramses III.(e)
Another 'Trojan' Sea People might have been the Weshesh. The scarcity of information led 'necessarily' to speculation about possible links between their name and that of Ilion, as the city of Troy was also called by the Greeks, or Wilusa (Wilusiya) by the Hittites – after king Ilus (thence the Iliad). "The W of Weshesh", Salimbeti notes, "is a modern invention for ease of pronunciation; the Egyptian records refer to Uashesh". Some scholars associate this people with Assos, also in the Troad, or with Iasos (Iassos) in Caria, or with Issos in Cilicia. Others have theorized that they became part of the Israelite confederacy, as the tribe of Asher. Another people connected with the Hebrews were the Tjeker. Moving to Canaan, they captured the city-state of Dor and turned it into a large, well-fortified capital of their kingdom. Dor was violently destroyed in the mid-11th century BCE by the expanding Phoenicians, who were checked by the Philistines, and then by the Hebrews. King David (if he was something more than just a mythological figure) supposedly conquered Dor and the Tjeker were mentioned no more.
A possible linguistic connection has been proposed between the Tjeker and the Tekrur, identified with the Teucri, a tribe described by some ancient sources as inhabiting northwest Anatolia to the south of Troy. Tradition offers basically two candidates for a homeland: Crete or Attica. Legend links all three places and goes even further, following two heroes with the same name: Teucer (or Teucrus). According to Virgil, the older Teucer was from Crete but left the island with a third part of its inhabitants during a great famine (how many such stories…). They settled near a river, which was named Scamander after his father. Dionysius of Halicarnassus claims Teucer had gone to the Troad from Attica. Scamander (or Xanthos) was said to have been a river-god, a son of Oceanus. According to Homer, he fought on the side of the Trojans after Achilles insulted him. He was the personification of the river that flowed by Troy. The Hellenes had set up their camp near its mouth, and their battles with the Trojans were fought on its plain. With the arrival of Dardanus there, Teucria was renamed as Dardania (thence Dardenelles), and later Troad (from king Tros). But these toponymic changes would not deter the Trojans to often call themselves Teucrians. Aeneas e.g. is described as "the great captain of the Teucrians".
The younger Teucer (or Teucrus) was a son of king Telamon of Salamis, the island of Attica where the decisive naval battle of the Graeco-Persian Wars would be fought. He was half Trojan because his mother was a princess of Ilion. He also fought in the Trojan War, but on the side of the Hellenes, having his half-brother, Ajax, as a co-fighter, while his cousins, Hector and Paris, and his uncle Priam were 'enemies'. After all, war was a family affair – let alone for Teucer Jr! On his return to Salamis, however, his father accused him for not bringing Ajax's body back home. He was disowned, exiled, and set out to find a new home. With his departing words that Horace turned into a moving ode, he exhorted his companions to "despair in no way… tomorrow we shall set out upon the vast ocean".(f) This speech, related later to the theme of voyages of discovery, is also found in Dante's Inferno and in Tennyson's Ulysses. Teucer eventually joined the Phoenician king Belus of Tyre in his campaign against Cyprus, and when the island was seized, Belus handed it over to Teucer as a reward. He founded there the city of Salamis, named after his homeland.
The "copper island", a vital node in the trade networks, experienced two waves of Greek settlement: The initial consisted of Mycenaean traders around 1400 BCE. Towards the end of this period, great amounts of 'Mycenaean' pottery were produced in Cyprus. A major second wave, connected with Teucer's story, took place just after the Bronze Age collapse ca 1100 BCE, with the island's predominantly Hellenic character dating from this era, due to the 'invasion' of Helladic refugees. Apart from Salamis, Teucer is credited as a founder of other cities, as well. A local legend in Galicia, in northwestern Iberia, relates the foundation of Pontevedra to 'Teucro'. The legend seems to be based more on the conjecture that Greek traders might have arrived there in ancient times. Though legends appear for a certain reason, historians and archaeologists tend to agree that the initial settlement was probably formed when Gallaecia was integrated into the Roman Empire (1st century BCE). Pontevedra, which means "the old bridge", in reference to an old Roman bridge across the Lérez River, is sometimes poetically called The City of Teucro, and its inhabitants teucrinos – like the Trojans.(g)
Up to now, with the sole exception of Teucer attacking Cyprus in collaboration with the Phoenicians and representing the people who found refuge there (well, at the expense of the locals), we have seen no Hellenes fighting alongside the Sea Peoples, but rather against them, in the Trojan War. It is what Sanford Holst already said in our previous Chronicle:
"The Mycenaeans attacked the Anatolian people from the seaward side. To deal with this problem, warriors and ships in the Sea Peoples confederacy poured from Anatolia and the Black Sea into the Aegean, where they ravaged the Mycenaeans."
Let us try to verify this in Wikipedia:
"The invaders, that is, the replacement cultures at those sites, apparently made no attempt to retain the cities' wealth but instead built new settlements of a materially simpler cultural and less complex economic level atop the ruins. For example, no one appropriated the palace and rich stores at Pylos, but all were burned up, and the successors (whoever they were) moved in over the ruins with plain pottery and simple goods. This demonstrates a cultural discontinuity."
This may demonstrate a logical discontinuity, as well! The author leaves the question of who the invaders were open. However, he/she identifies them with "the replacement cultures", who were stupid enough to "burn up the palace and rich stores" instead of appropriating them. Quite simply, the invaders had no plan to settle there; they went there just to destroy: they were not "the replacement cultures".
The Anatolians predominated among the Sea Peoples but were not alone. Names of tribes with dubious or unknown origin are several in the Egyptian files – like the Shekelesh, probably the Siculi, who moved to Sicily from the Italian mainland.
"There was a gigantic series of migratory waves, extending all the way from the Danube valley to the plains of China", Michael Grant comments, and Moses I. Finley agrees: "A large-scale movement of people is indicated… The original centre of disturbance was in the Carpatho-Danubian region of Europe… pushing in different directions at different times."
However, if we have faith in Michael Wood, they were Greeks:
"Were the sea peoples in part actually composed of Mycenaean Greeks – rootless migrants, warrior bands and condottieri on the move? Certainly there seem to be suggestive parallels between the war gear and helmets of the Greeks and those of the Sea Peoples". Moreover, including the Sherden and Shekelesh among the 'villains', he reminds us that "there were migrations of Greek-speaking peoples to [Sardinia and Sicily] at this time". Troy, he concludes, "was sacked by essentially [!] Greek Sea Peoples"…(h)
Michael Wood is not alone, too. The identification of the Denyen and Ekwesh with the Danaans and Achaeans respectively are long-standing issues in Bronze Age scholarship, especially as the "suspects" lived "in the isles"…(i) Were the Egyptian scribes so naïve to use two names for one and the same people? What kind of Bronze Age scholars are they if they (pretend to) ignore that Achaeans and Danaans are synonymous terms? Have they not been schooled in the Iliad? Homer mentions the name Achaeans 598 times; Danaans 138 times; Argives 182 times; and Hellenes only once. According to a version of the myth, they were ancestors of the Greeks and their tribes: Hellen, Graecos, Magnes, and Macedon (Makednos) were sons of Deucalion and Pyrrha, the only survivors of the Great Flood. Sons of Hellen were Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus; sons of Xuthus were Ion and Achaeus. Danaus from Egypt, Pelops from Anatolia, and Cadmus from Phoenicia gained a foothold in Greece and were assimilated and Hellenized. At least for the Danaans, perhaps due to their 'Egyptian' origin, there is some "flexibility": they are either identified with the people of Adana in Cilicia, or possibly related to the land of the Danuna near Ugarit in Syria, or perhaps they are rumoured to have joined Hebrews to form one of the original 12 tribes of Israel, that of Dan.
The major event in Pharaoh Merneptah's reign (1213-1203 BCE) was a war against a confederacy termed the 'Nine Bows' acting under the leadership of the king of Libya. The pharaoh states that he defeated the invasion, killing 6,000 soldiers and taking 9,000 prisoners. To be sure of the numbers, among other things, he took the penises of all uncircumcised dead and the hands of all the circumcised. We mention this macabre detail because, as it turned out, the Ekwesh were circumcised, a fact that would certainly have obliged any Bronze Age scholar to 'acquit' the Greeks.(j)
The next round in this protracted war took place some three decades later, during the reign of Ramses III (1186-1155 BCE), the last great pharaoh of Egypt. His inscriptions state that the 'Nine Bows' re-appeared as a "conspiracy in their isles". Most tribes mentioned above were there again; we also learn that there were at least two great battles, one in the sea and the other on the land.
"When it was over", the Wikipedia article on the Sea Peoples says, "several chiefs were captive: of Hatti, Amor, and Shasu among the 'land peoples', and the Tjeker, 'Sherden of the sea', 'Teresh of the sea' and Peleset or Philistines (in whose name some have seen the ancient Greek name for sea people: Pelasgians)."
What conclusions can we draw? We are surprised first of all since our scholars were not… surprised at all when they read about a Hittite chief among the captives: Hatti had been a Sea Peoples' arch-enemy – and one of their greatest victims! But scholars are usually aware of such "details" and are not taken by surprise. Furthermore, the same thing had happened before and the pharaoh's complaints had been officially forwarded to the Hittite monarch – as long as the Hittite kingdom still existed. OK, but why don't they bother to explain, instead of wasting their time trying to involve the Greeks in this… "conspiracy theory"? We eventually realize that the destruction of the established civilizations, above all the Hittite and Mycenaean, was a deliberate tactics of the Sea Peoples to garner more strength at sea and amass land forces, as well. After all, the empires belonged to the aristocracies, Hittite or Mycenaean. What else could a desperate Hellene or a destitute Anatolian do under the circumstances but to follow the peoples with whom he shared the same aspirations for a better life? But what a pity for our scholars: not even one Greek among the captive chiefs… He probably managed to escape! The other captives were chiefs of the Amorites, who lived in Syria and part of Mesopotamia, and possibly of the Hebrews: Shasu is a term for nomad wanderers, and at least one of their tribes worshipped the Jewish god Yahweh. The rest were captains of ships. The pharaoh concluded his report as follows: "I slew the Denyen in their isles" and "burned" the Tjeker and Peleset… He thus implied some maritime raids of his own, some punitive expeditions elsewhere in the Mediterranean. In the Aegean? Where, what and whose were these "isles"? Whatever the answers, the chain reaction of the raids went on; it was the Egyptians' turn to destroy – but destruction bears no signature.
The destruction of the established civilizations was a deliberate tactics of the Sea Peoples to garner more strength at sea and amass land forces, as well. After all, the empires belonged to the aristocracies, Hittite or Mycenaean. What else could a desperate Hellene or a destitute Anatolian do under the circumstances but to follow the peoples with whom he shared the same aspirations for a better life?
Homer mentions an Achaean attack upon the Nile delta, and Menelaus speaks of the same in the Odyssey recounting his own return home from the Trojan War. This was not the only such action by Mycenaeans against Egypt, where they went 'just for the fun of it', and some gain, of course. Taking into account the turbulence among and within the great Mycenaean royal families, the hypothesis that they may have destroyed themselves completely is long-standing and seems to find support by the reputable historian Thucydides:
"For in early times the Hellenes and the barbarians of the coast and islands… were tempted to turn to piracy, under the conduct of their most powerful men… They would fall upon a town unprotected by walls… and would plunder it… no disgrace being yet attached to such an achievement, but even some glory."

John Wilson (1837 – 24 March 1915) was an English coal miner, trade unionist, and a Member of Parliament (MP) for more than 25 years.
Born at Greatham, near Hartlepool, his mother Hannah died when he was four. After his father, Christopher (b. 1807 at Greatham), died of cholera when Wilson was ten, he worked in the mines, spent four years as a merchant seaman, and return to Durham as a miner in 1860. Married in 1832 to Margaret (née Firth), the couple emigrated to the United States in 1864, where Wilson worked the mines in Pennsylvania and Illinois. They returned to Durham in 1867; the first two of their five children had been born in America.
Wilson was one of the founders in 1869 of the Durham Miners' Association (DMA), which led to him being denied employment, but in 1878 he became a fulltime union organiser, rising to become the DMA's general secretary in 1896.

I've talked about community supported agriculture (CSA) here before in reference to buying a share of a small farm's harvest. The shares are bought before the growing season, giving the farmer much needed money to begin a harvest.
Yesterday on The Nourished Kitchen, blogger Jenny's post, Beyond the Veggie Box: 10 CSAs You Don't Know About, introduced me to other types of CSAs. I encourage you to hop over to her site and read about all 10, but the one that really caught my attention (not surprisingly) is a wine CSA.
Here's what she has to say about it:
As the local foods movement blossoms and fruits, there's greater enthusiasm for local wines. Winemakers, like cheesemakers and bread bakers, are jumping on the CSA bandwagon with much success. Similar to those wine-of-the-month clubs, wine CSAs provide anywhere from two to four bottles a month to their shareholders. The difference is that the wines are local to your region and to the fruits that grow therein. Most winemakers produce several varietals so you're never bored. And if you're in rural Colorado, like me, a cherry wine, perry or hard cider might find its way into your basket from time to time. Wine shares average between $300 and $700 for a full share and that equates to about $9 – $12 per bottle. In my area retail price for local wines usually hovers between $18 and $30 so it's damned good value to get into a wine CSA.
There doesn't seem to be one website that allows you to search for wineries that offer them, so if you're interested in finding out about one in your region, you'll have to spend a little time searching – perhaps by typing "Wine CSA" and the name of the state you want to search in.
I searched in my state, New Jersey, and found nothing. Then I searched in Pennsylvania (I live very close to the border) and found that a winery that I have visited before, Paradocx Vineyard in Chester County offers a CSA.
The way their CSA works is that members go to "pick-up" parties four times a year to pick up their shares. H'ordeurves are served and wines are tasted. There are also other advantages to being a member of their CSA like separate wine tastings and discounts on any other wine you buy from them throughout the duration of your membership.
I'd love to see wine CSA's catch on to more wineries.
Do you have any experience with a wine CSA? Tell us about it in the comments.

So I logged in last night with the intent to get my PvP spec squared away, get my new Wrathful gear gemmed and enchanted, and spend some time in the battlegrounds to get a good, solid impression of how 4.0.1 has changed them.
It was, frankly, an awful experience.
Most nights when I have a bad night in the BGs, it's because I'm losing, a lot, and my fellow teammates are being nasty about it. I don't mind clueless, I do mind vicious.
No, it was awful because of the bugs. Glitches, freezes, disconnects, all conspired to make trying to fight in a battleground an exercise in frustration.
The worst part, in asking around, I know that this is not universal. It's there, people are having problems — but not everyone.
I've debated posting this. I'd much rather have an analysis for you of what's happening in the BGs right now, which, I'm told, is horribly imbalanced, with Resilience stacking making certain classes unkillable, with clothies running roughshod over melee… but all I have are bugs.
Here are the bugs I've seen.
There's a bug with one line tooltips where your client locks up/disconnects when you mouse over anything that turns your cursor into a cogwheel – like, say, the flags in Arathi Basin, mage tables, warlock portals, the Headless Horseman's altar – anything you need to click that has a 1-line tooltip can cause it.
For this one, there's a fix: CogFix, an addon that eliminates the tooltip. It works okay in most situations – I stopped crashing at the flag, at least – but there were still some other situations that still did it, like the fantastically bugged EoE.
I love this one. For no rhyme or reason, the client locks up, crashes or disconnects, and when you log back in you have the Deserter debuff. This one happened to me a lot last night, and unlike previous patches, there seems to be no way to get back in without picking up the Deserter debuff. I've DCed before and gotten back in to the same battle within 30 seconds; now, the debuff prevents that.
I don't really care about the Deserter debuff. It's annoying, but if this is just a case of the debuff being tuned more strictly, I can live with it.
But I DCed from 8 out of 10 battlegrounds last night. It didn't matter how much activity was on the screen, or system load, or anything like that – I'd be running along, then BAM, client crashes, I start fumbling for my authenticator.
Deserter. Ugh.
This instability has made any sustained BG play basically impossible for me. After a while, the sane response is to go do something else.
I've seen two different kinds of scoreboard errors so far. The first is that people who leave the BG are still listed on the scoreboard, causing it to be useless as a roster. When you see that you're facing 44 people in Alterac Valley, something is definitely wrong.
The second bug is that not everyone shows up on the scoreboard, and if you're not on the scoreboard, you apparently don't get any honor for winning or losing. Which, kinda sucks.
I did the Grizzly Hills and Wintergrasp PvP quests for a few honor points, but figured I'd work towards my next Wrathful piece in the battlegrounds. The quests aren't bugged, they appear to give you the amount they say they will. The BGs don't, though. I had two losses, which I completed all the way through, and failed to get either the amount of honor listed on the scoreboard or the daily quest minimum.
If I can force myself back into the BGs, I'll try to track this more concretely. It was only when I opened up my currency tab and saw 72 honor points for the entire night that I realized what was happening.
See, this is what I wanted this post to be about – how are things going in the battlegrounds? Which classes seem to be doing well, which are struggling?
I don't really have a lot of firsthand knowledge, though. Demo seems strong, though I'm having trouble playing it. Destro is definitely strong. Affliction seems to be fine, actually. Casters seem to be doing quite well in general.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get some crash-free playtime in soon to give a better update than that.
2008 Macbook 4,1, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM, Intel GMZ X3100 video card, 144MB VRAM, fresh installation of Warcraft.
So I was writing up this bug report known as a post when it occurs to me: I might not have any clue what's going on in the BGs right now because they've gone all Crashy McCrasherson on me, but my smart readers surely must! YOU have been in the battlegrounds of 4.0.1 and seen the effects of Resilience, of class changes, of the new water textures! YOU have got the knowledge we all seek!
Let me know your impressions in the comments. If I can't BG directly, I'll do it vicariously through you.
Here's to hoping 4.0.3 is more stable!

"Burr Oak at Twilight" - photo © Peter Haigh - may not be reproduced - used by permission
by James T. Downey
The year is 2052, and the human race is still struggling to recover from a massive pandemic flu some 40 years previously. When an independent prospector on Saturn's moon Titan discovers an alien artifact, assumptions that we are alone in the universe are called into question. Knowing that news of such a discovery could prompt chaos on Earth, a small team is sent to investigate and hopefully manage the situation. What they find is that there's more to human history, and human abilities, than any of them ever imagined. And that they will need all those insights, and all those abilities, to face the greatest threat yet to human survival.
Welcome to Communion of Dreams. You'll probably find that it is closest in flavor to the works of Arthur C. Clarke and the late Carl Sagan, two authors from whom I draw inspiration. Others have compared it favorably to the work of David Brin or Kim Stanley Robinson. At a surface level it is classic science fiction, in that a new discovery leads to a reevaluation of what it means to be human. Beyond that are levels of human psychological development and religious allegory, giving the text a depth which will appeal to a wide range of readers. Or so I hope.
As I was shopping the book around to conventional publishers, I made an earlier version of the book available as a free download in .pdf format. That was downloaded some 35,000 times. The current version of the book is much the same in terms of the story, though it has been completely edited and properly formatted for both the Kindle and paperback editions. Consequently, the reading experience is greatly improved – if you enjoyed the .pdf version, you'll love this version.
Communion of Dreams is available in Kindle format (will work on non-Kindle devices, so long as you download the free Kindle emulator for your device) and as a paperback. If you would like a signed copy, those are also available. And if you've previously read the book for free and just want to make a small donation in appreciation, such will be gleefully accepted. The links for all those are there on the side.
You may also download audio (MP3) files of the unabridged earlier version of the book, professionally produced by Scot Wilcox of Own Made Audio Books, which run a total of about 16 hours. Those are available through the audio link in the column on the right.
I maintain a blog relating to Communion of Dreams, wherein I talk about life, news items pertinent to the 'future history' of the novel, and aspects of writing and self-publishing. And of course you can find me on facebook and Twitter, if you'd like to keep up with other news and promotions.
But regardless, I hope you enjoy Communion of Dreams.

When I was looking for my grandfather's ancestors, I found he was living in Hartford, Connecticut with his father Stanislas, who called himself Dennis, and his mother Henriette Alexandre, who was Harriet.
Léo was living with his older brother Adélard born in 1880. Léo was born in June 1888 and he was the last of the children.
In the census, I found that Harriett (Henriette) had 13 children. I had only found 12.
Click on the image it will appear in another window
Friday morning, while looking into the register of Notre-Dame-des-Anges parish in Notre-Dame de Stanbridge, I found the 13th children.
Her name was Marie-Angélique Lagacé born on November 10, 1871. She died on September 15, 1872.
This closes the chapter about the children of Stanislas Lagacé and Henriette Alexandre.
You can ask me to visit my genealogy site and see the file of Stanislas Lagacé. From there you can access all of his children's files.
Next time, I will tell you about Pierre Lagacé, Stanislas Lagacé's granduncle. Some of his descendants went to the United States.
See you…

I'm currently wondering the following:
I've wrote a couple functions that call other functions, this forces me to add more arguments to the function doing the calling because the function it calls requires the extra arguments.
I was wondering if there is a way to essentially to get the variables into the function that needs to call another function without adding more arguments.
I would like to keep the functions I make nice and simple and keep the arguments down to a minimum for future use so I don't have to brush up on a given function because it has a lot of arguments.
Also I have a general question to any one out there:
As a beginner to programming, I haven't seen many functions other than my own, so I'm wondering how many arguments would the average function have?

There are several ways to get in contact with other MediaWiki users or to get instant help.
These are good first steps:
- Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
- Follow the News and our social media channels.
- Check the newsletters that you can subscribe to.
- Join $mediawiki-irc IRC channel and perhaps more.
- Make sure you have an email address confirmed and email notifications enabled in your mediawiki.org preferences.
- "Watch" (click the star icon of) the pages you want to follow and perhaps contribute to.
- All the better if you find a MediaWiki Group that matches your location or interests!
- You're asking a question which is in the FAQ, the help, the manual, or other documentation, and the volunteers in the channel feel it would be best if you found it yourself.
[#mediawiki connect #mediawiki] on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock IRC channel for real-time communication. If you don't have an IRC client, use [#wikimedia-dev connect web chat].
- Please read the $1 before asking.
- State your problem immediately and wait for a response. Don't ask "is there anyone here" or "can someone help me". This is normal IRC etiquette and allows participants to multitask effectively.
- Expect to wait for some time for an initial response, especially in off-peak times. Despite this, out of courtesy for the volunteer who is helping you, try to answer their questions promptly.
If you don't get an answer, this could mean one of a number of things:
- Nobody was around at the time of day you chose. If the channel is generally quiet, come back later.
- You're asking a question which nobody knows the answer to, or which requires a lot of work to answer.
Questions relating to problems with your particular installation of MediaWiki are generally best answered on IRC, since they often require a back-and-forth exchange to isolate the problem, which is tedious when performed on the mailing lists.
Mailing lists
There are several Mailing lists available. The recommended ones are:
- mediawiki-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list to ask for help with using or setting up MediaWiki.
- wikitech-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list for both MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development.
- mediawiki-announce (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is a low-traffic list for announcements of new MediaWiki releases and security updates (all messages also go to mediawiki-l).
- wikitech-ambassadors Announcements about upcoming changes on Wikimedia websites. This list is primarily aimed at end users of Wikimedia wikis, not the MediaWiki software in general.
Please check the archives first! All three lists are also available through Gmane which provides access as newsgroups or in various web-based formats, and includes its own archives and archive search.
Social Media
Follow the MediaWiki accounts:
- @MediaWiki (Twitter)
- MediaWiki (Facebook)
More details at Social media.
- The Wikimedia Tech Blog is a venue to share stories from Wikimedia's technical community across and beyond Wikimedia-tech. See the editorial guidelines for more information.
- There are some tech blogs hosted on Phabricator.
- The English Wikimedia planet blog aggregator sometimes contains tech stuff mixed in with posts mostly about non-technical aspects of Wikimedia projects.
- Wikimedia's Tech/News covers all the technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement.
- There are further newsletters that you can subscribe to.
- There are several MediaWiki Groups which could match your location or interests.
- The MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group aims to advocate the needs of MediaWiki users.
- Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki was formerly where documents were managed and proposals were discussed before this site was started. There is still a lot of content there that has yet to be moved.
- Phabricator is where feature requests and bugs may be reported or browsed.
- Translatewiki is a MediaWiki site that allows collaborative translation, including of MediaWiki software.

t's been a good couple of years for Grover.
A new book, "The Forgotten Conservative: Rediscovering Grover Cleveland," by John M. Pafford, lays out Cleveland's life and makes the case that the two-term president – in nonconsecutive periods, as 22nd and 24th of our chief executives – was both a deeply Christian man and a more conservative president than he is given credit for.
After all, as Pafford points out, Cleveland vetoed more legislation in his terms than all of the men who held the office before him – combined.
That follows on the heels of a recent book by Matthew Algeo that related the story of the top-secret surgery that Cleveland had aboard a ship in 1893 to remove a cancerous growth from his mouth. Algeo came to Buffalo in 2011 to speak about his book.
Both books shine a little more light on the talented and multifaceted man who came to Buffalo early in his life, and spent a good portion of his early political career in local office.
Buffalo has connections to a few presidents – William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt and Millard Fillmore among them – but Grover Cleveland's striking life story makes him a unique reflection of Buffalo in some key ways.
He lived a portion of his life here, starting with his arrival in the city as a young man.
He built a law career here, and began his political activity in Erie County and the City of Buffalo.
Then there's the not unimportant fact that he fell in love with – then married, and had five children with – a Buffalo woman who still wins praise as one of the best hostesses ever to occupy the Executive Mansion.
Cleveland is all this – and a colorful personality, too.
"Cleveland's capacity for work was impressive," writes Pafford, at one point in the new book. "After a full day in the office, he could work through the night, take a bath, drink some coffee, and be back in the office at eight o'clock the next morning."
At the same time, Pafford notes, Cleveland "could play as hard as he worked" – and spent a good deal of time in the city's raucous taverns and beer halls.
So if Grover Cleveland is having a bit of a heyday?
Good for him.
We can take part in it, a little, by upping our knowledge of the former mayor of Buffalo – who went on to even bigger things.

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, September 21, 2012) – Prior to Saturday's MLS regular season game against Toronto FC, the LA Galaxy will induct of the club's 2002 MLS Cup winning squad into the Wall of Legends at The Home Depot Center. The 2002 team, the first Galaxy squad to win MLS Cup, will join former players Mauricio Cienfuegos and Cobi Jones as well as former President and General Manager Doug Hamilton in the Wall of Legends, which was created in 2008. The induction ceremony will begin at 4:15 p.m. and will take place at the Wall of Legends, which is located at the top of section 104 in the southwest corner of the stadium.
In addition to the induction ceremony, the club will hold an Alumni Game, which is presented by Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes, on the stadium field starting at 5:30 p.m. Because of these events, Media Check In will open at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Among those who are scheduled to be in attendance from the 2002 team are Mauricio Cienfuegos, Cobi Jones and Alexi Lalas, who each wore the captain's armband at different points during the season, as well as Isaias Bardales Jr., Alex Bengard, Simon Elliott, Adam Frye, Gavin Glinton and Jesus Ochoa, all of whom were members of the 2002 MLS Cup winning side. That group will then be joined by a number of former Galaxy greats such as Dan Calichman, Paul Caligiuri, Chris Klein, Eddie Lewis, Clint Mathis and Danny Pena and many others to form an Alumni Team that will be coached by Ralph Perez, an assistant coach on the 2002 squad. The Alumni Team, who will be wearing replicas of the club's 2002 jersey, will take on a team of Galaxy Academy players in a 40-minute game on the stadium field.
All of the alumni in attendance will also be recognized on the field at halftime of Saturday night's game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

The Victoria federal by-election has become a messy, smelly and often rancorous campaign with sewage treatment – specifically, Victoria's lack of it – emerging as the primary campaign issue.
Sensing shifting political winds as Victorians face huge tax bills to pay for a proposed $783-million treatment plan, candidates have lined up against the proposal.
The pro-environment Green Party is opposed to the treatment plan, with its candidate Donald Galloway saying he's holding out for a better plan.
Conservative candidate Dale Gann started the campaign supporting the treatment plan, but changed his mind at the midway point.
He now says the timing is wrong, which is a bold move, considering Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered to contribute one-third of the funds for the project.
Liberal Paul Summerville, calculating the high-cost concerns of Victoria voters, says the plan is a billion-dollar make-work project for the New Democrats that's based on flawed science.
He wants the whole issue put on hold until 2040.
New Democrat candidate Murray Rankin admits the plan has holes, but says it's time Victoria joined most other communities along the West Coast who have been treating their sewage for decades.
The by-election in the Victoria riding was triggered when NDP MP Denise Savoie retired from politics in August for undisclosed health reasons. It is one of three across Canada – Calgary Centre and Durham in Ontario – that will be decided with a vote Monday.
The varied scientific interpretations of how Victoria's human waste behaves in deep ocean waters has been too much for some. It flushed from semi-retirement the city's sewage treatment mascot, Mr. Floatie.
James Skwarok said the prospect of Victorians electing a candidate Monday who opposes the city's sewage treatment plan forced him to bring out his brown, feces-shaped costume and hit the campaign trail in what he's calling his "second movement."
Mr. Skwarok became a local political celebrity earlier in the decade for showing up at local and provincial sewage meetings dressed in his brown outfit and bow tie.
"I'm dismayed that so many candidates are against treatment," he said. "We spent the last five, six years carefully planning treatment for Victoria and we have the money now, so it's time to do it. It's 2012. It's not 1850."
Victoria pumps about 130 million litres of sewage into the Juan de Fuca Strait daily. The sewage debate has been raging for decades, with environmentalists and downstream communities saying the city is polluting the ocean, but with other scientists saying the ocean acts as a natural flushing toilet that disperses waste with minimal environmental impact.
Mr. Skwarok said he experienced the by-election tension last week when he was shown the door at a Green Party event he attended wearing his Mr. Floatie costume. Mr. Skwarok said he didn't even get a chance to meet his idol David Suzuki, who was there to support Galloway.
"I was a bit bummed out," he said. "I was a bit shocked, actually, that they weren't in favour of Victoria's sewage treatment plan."
Liberal candidate Mr. Summerville, one of three University of Victoria professors, said if Victoria goes ahead with its sewage treatment plan, it might as well flush the money into the ocean along with the waste.
"There's no net environmental benefit to the plan that's being produced," he said. "There's an army of marine biologists and public health officials that have made that point. It's been forced on Victoria by the Conservatives and supported by the NDP because it's a jobs boondoggle."
Federal Liberal Leadership candidate Justin Trudeau, who was in Victoria to support Mr. Summerville's campaign, said Mr. Summerville is raising valid concerns about the treatment plan.
"When you have the local Conservative candidate and the Green candidate, who are opposed to it, and only the NDP candidate is in favour of it as some sort of make-work project, I think we need to be worried about what the actual science says instead of what the ideology is," he said.
Mr. Trudeau said the sewage money could used to treat autistic children and improve schools.
The NDP's Mr. Rankin said Victoria needs to get with the times and commit to a sewage treatment plan. He said the current proposal, which includes federal and provincial funding, is a start to a plan that can always be improved.
"I have a principle disagreement with my Liberal opponent," said Mr. Rankin. "I think after 80 years of debate, it's time to accept we have to do our part."
Victoria is the only community north of San Diego on the Pacific Coast that doesn't treat its sewage.
Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, who visited Victoria to support Mr. Rankin's campaign, said sewage treatment is the defining issue of the byelection, but he already has his sights set on the next federal election.
Mr. Mulcair said Monday's federal by-elections will serve as important milestones to what he believes will be a historic campaign in 2015 that sees the NDP up against Mr. Harper's Conservatives.

Picture: Kevin Farley 'Family Guy: It's A Trap' DVD Launch Party held at Supperclub Hollywood, California - 14.12.10
Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane was given a comedic roasting by fellow funnymen Seth Green, Bill Maher and Patton Oswalt as he was presented with a special award for his career achievements.
The Ted moviemaker was the guest of honour at the Power of Comedy event in Los Angeles on Friday night (16Nov12), when comics came together to celebrate MACFarlane's career and raise money for cancer research charity The Noreen Fraser Foundation.
TV Batman Adam West presented MACFarlane with the Power of Comedy award, and the honouree was given a roasting by his Family Guy star Seth Green, who told his boss, "Not since the two Coreys have two people with the same name so completely dominated Hollywood."
MACFarlane took the evening in good spirits and joked the roast may cost him his job as host of the 2013 Academy Awards, telling the audience, "(It is my) sincere belief that in the past 10 minutes, I have Brett Ratner-ed myself out of the Oscars."
The funnyman's jibe was a reference to director Brett Ratner, who stepped down as 2012 Oscars producer after voicing a homophobic slur at a public event.
Previous recipients of the award include Russell Brand and Amy Poehler.

\\server\share is the location of the Office Deployment Tool setup file and the custom Configuration.xml file, Myconfig.xml in this example
setup.exe is the Click-to-Run Office Deployment Tool executable
/download runs the tool in download mode
The following procedure requires a custom Configuration.xml file that must provide the following information:
OfficeClientEdition (attribute of Add element). Specifies the edition of Click-to-Run for Office 2013 product to use: 32- or 64-bit.
For information about Configuration.xml syntax, see Reference: Configuration options for the Office Deployment Tool. For more information about the Configuration.xml file requirements, see Configuration.xml file for use with /download command.
The Office Deployment Tool download includes a sample configuration file, Configuration.xml, which you may customize in step 3.
In the following example, a network shared folder is created to store the Click-to-Run for Office 365 sources that you download. For information about shared folders, see the following resources:
Create a network shared folder for the Click-to-Run for Office 365 sources. For example:
Use this shared folder to download the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run and Click-to-Run for Office 365 sources in this example.
Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download site to the \\server\Office15 shared folder.
Customize the sample configuration (configuration.xml) file that is included in the Office Deployment Tool download. To do this, use any text editor, such as Notepad.
Choose Start, and then choose Run. In the Run dialog box, type notepad in the Open text box, and then choose OK.
In Notepad, choose File, choose Open, and navigate to the \\server\Office15 location to which you downloaded the Office Deployment Tool (step 2), and select the sample Configuration.xml configuration file, Configuration.xml.
Edit the sample Configuration.xml file and provide the options to use for the download. You must specify products, languages, and you can also specify the path to which to save the source.
Note that SourcePath (which is optional) indicates the location to save the Click-to-Run source when you run the Office Deployment Tool in download mode. If you do not specify SourcePath, Setup will attempt to create an \Office\Data\... folder structure in the working directory from which you are running setup.exe.
In the following Configuration.xml configuration file example, \\server\Office15 shared folder is used.
<Configuration> <Add SourcePath="\\server\Office15" OfficeClientEdition="32"> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" > <Language ID="en-us" /> </Product> </Add> </Configuration>
This Configuration.xml configuration file specifies that Office 365 ProPlus 32-bit edition be downloaded in English to the \\server\Office15 shared folder.
Save the Configuration.xml file. For example, save as Customconfigfile.xml.
To download Office 365 ProPlus Click-to-Run sources, use the /download command as in the following example:
\\server\Office15\setup.exe /download \\server\Office15\Customconfigfile.xml
\\server\Office15 in this example is the network share location that contains the Office Deployment Tool and the custom Configuration.xml file, Customconfigfile.xml
setup.exe is the Office Deployment Tool executable
/download downloads the Office 365 ProPlus Click-to-Run source files that you specify in the custom Configuration.xml file

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — A family of six was displaced when a fire broke out in their central New Jersey apartment building.
Asbury Park officials say no injuries were reported in the fire at the two-story building, which broke out just before 11 a.m. Sunday. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation, but authorities told the Asbury Park Press that they were trying to determine if an unattended candle sparked the fire.
One unit in the Second Avenue building was declared uninhabitable, while two others were slightly damaged. Officials say the displaced family _ a couple with four young children _ planned to temporarily stay with relatives.
The building's other residents will be allowed to remain in their units.

Mail Tribune
Federal prosecutors say an Ashland couple accused of peddling over the Internet a diluted version of industrial bleach as an elixir for everything from earaches to cancer are a flight risk and should remain jailed until their case is settled.
Defendants Louis Daniel Smith and Karis Delong previously fled to Ecuador after federal agents in June 2011 raided their Spokane residence, where prosecutors say they illegally sold "Miracle Mineral Supplement" under their Project GreenLife label.
In an October 2011 email seized in the case, Smith wrote to a friend that the couple were in a South American country and had friends ready "to take us into the jungle" should they be indicted for alleged violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
Smith, 42, and the 38-year-old Delong were due today in U.S. District Court in Spokane. During the arraignment hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Cynthia Imbrogno will hear arguments over whether the couple should be released while their case plays out in court filings.
Imbrogno already has released two co-defendants indicted in the case, which focuses on the sale of an industrial chemical not licensed for ingestion but bought by people who swear by its abilities to cure a suite of ailments that conventional drugs cannot.
Smith, Delong and co-defendant Tammy Olson, 50, of Nine Mile Falls, Wash., were each charged with conspiracy, four counts of interstate sales of misbranded drugs and one count of smuggling stemming from an investigation by FDA special agents and U.S. Postal Service investigators.
Also charged was Olson's husband, 49-year-old Chris Olson, with one count of conspiracy, one count of interstate sale of a misbranded drug and one count of smuggling.
The most serious charge is smuggling, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison upon conviction. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Parisi stated in a Monday court filing that the defendants face a maximum sentence of 37 years in prison if convicted on all the charges, but they likely would be sentenced in a range of 63 months to 78 months under federal sentencing guidelines.
Delong and Smith have filed several court documents on their own behalf arguing they sold Miracle Mineral Supplement, referred to as MMS, only to members of a "First Amendment Private Health Case Association." They claim that constitutionally protected them from federal Food and Drug Administration scrutiny because it was a private association operating outside of the public domain.
Prosecutors have countered that hiding behind the guise of a private association does not insulate the accused MMS conspirators from their crimes.
In Monday's court filing, Parisi also stated that federal agents made "numerous" undercover purchases of MMS through Project GreenLife's website.
According to federal prosecutors, MMS was a mixture of water and sodium chlorite that buyers were told to mix with citric acid to form chlorine dioxide, which actually is an industrial chemical used to bleach textiles and disinfect wastewater, according to court records.
Labeling on the chemical states it should never be ingested because it can cause digestive tract burning, nausea, diarrhea and dehydration. If inhaled, it can cause respiratory distress, lung congestion and possibly death.
The indictment also does not make any claims that MMS sickened or harmed anyone — even members of the association.
Its backers claim myriad medical help from MMS in testimonials filed in federal court in Spokane when Smith tried to squash the FDA investigation immediately following the search warrants.
In the 2011 email purportedly sent from an unnamed South American country, Smith wrote that he once grossed $120,000 a month from Project GreenLife sales. But, he wrote, he was at that time living near poverty, "trying to keep my family safe while the FDA works to indict myself and wife back home."

Our new homepage today is filled with some fantastic watches that do more than just tell time. The term "complicated" when referring to timepieces means any other function on a watch outside of the standard hours, minutes and seconds. Some of the most common complications are day/date, chronograph (for measuring short periods of time), moon phases, sunrise/sunset and a perpetual calendar.
The most complicated wristwatch on record is made by Franck Muller. The Aeternitas Mega 4 has 36 complications, 25 of them visible, 1483 components and 1000-year calendar. The Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie comes in second and is powered by the Jaeger LeCoultre Calibre 182 movement, with 26 complications and over 1300 parts.
The great thing about complicated watches is that they don't necessarily need to be expensive. While certain models retail in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, we have a fantastic selection around $1,000 (and some even lower). Check out our favorites right now.

Kemp makes debut, but Puig still steals show
Dodgers' significant depth at outfield put on display with last-minute scratch
LOS ANGELES -- Whatever you think or feel about the Los Angeles Dodgers, you have to admit they have some crazy-good depth. Yasiel Puig steps aside, and Matt Kemp steps in.
How many teams can discipline their starting right fielder, among the most gifted athletes alive, and replace him with one of the game's best all-around players, one who is a cut below Mike Trout but very few others?
It wasn't the script Hollywood's team had in mind for its home opener on Friday afternoon. An occasion made special by a roll call of greats appearing for Vin Scully's ceremonial toss to Sandy Koufax made a bizarre turn thanks to the latest Puig misadventure in the hours preceding an 8-4 Giants victory.
Late to the park for stretching and batting practice, Puig was scratched, enhancing his reputation as one of the most polarizing performers in professional sports.
Kemp, activated from the disabled list but unhappy that his name was not on the original lineup card, inherited Puig's vacated No. 2 slot in the lineup and returned to his natural position in center field. Andre Ethier, who can play anywhere in the outfield, took over in right without blinking an eye.
The Dodgers were down by eight runs before they got a base hit, and the Giants' fourth win in five road tests had San Franciscans starting to believe in the possibility of another magical even-numbered season. But Kemp went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored.
"It felt good to come back," Kemp said. "It's been a rough year and a half. I think my mom was more emotional than me. She was crying. I said, 'Why?' She said, 'I'm just glad you're back.'"
So are Kemp's teammates. When healthy, he can make a good lineup absolutely lethal.
"He's definitely not an old guy," second baseman Dee Gordon, hitting .412, said of the 29-year-old Kemp. "He's just been hurt. All of us get hurt. To see him come back like that is definitely a blessing."
Driving in Carl Crawford with a ringing double to the left-center gap in the fifth inning and running freely on the bases and in the outfield, Kemp showed clear signs that his left shoulder and left ankle miseries, resulting in winter surgeries, were things of the past.
If this is the case, and he can get back to his 2011 form as arguably the game's best PT (pre-Trout) player, Kemp will not have to be checking any lineup cards to look for his name.
"I've been working really hard to get back," he said. "I'm excited to get back on the field."
Kemp had "nothing to say" about Puig's predicament, acknowledging that he was not pleased to find he wasn't starting before Puig's tardiness opened the door.
"If you're not in the lineup," Kemp said, "you're expected to be mad. You don't want to see other teams beat your team. I think our four or five outfielders feel the same way."
Mindful of all the injuries and setbacks of 2013, the Dodgers resisted the urgings of insiders and critics all winter to trade one of their four high-profile outfielders, Crawford completing the quartet in left with Scott Van Slyke the fifth wheel.
Puig was contrite and "humbled," manager Don Mattingly said, adding that he got the starting time wrong and was hanging around his apartment when he should have been making the trip to Dodger Stadium.
Puig quietly apologized to teammates for the transgression. Because he is an otherworldly talent along the lines of a Bo Jackson, Puig has to be given some rope. The hope is that he doesn't strangle himself with it and goes on to have the kind of career reflective of his uncommon skills.
"Things happen ... people make mistakes," Kemp said in reference to Puig's second benching for showing up late to a game, the first having come last season at Miami. "I don't think we're worried about who's playing, who's not playing."
Kemp, while showing mobility, struggled in the outfield. He bobbled a Michael Morse single for an error during the Giants' six-run first inning against Hyun-Jin Ryu and couldn't reach a drive by Brandon Hicks over his right shoulder an inning later.
"It just so happened the first ball hit to me, I booted," Kemp said. "Just my luck. No rust. I've been playing. I got a good jump on [Hicks' fly ball]. It just stayed up there. I should have made the play."
Ryu's most frustrating effort of his young Major League career -- two innings and eight runs (six earned) -- left the Dodgers buried. They showed signs of life in the middle innings, Adrian Gonzalez and Ethier launching back-to-back homers in the fourth against Ryan Vogelsong. But the Giants held on, leaving the Dodgers pondering all the imponderables.
"The first two innings were sloppy," Kemp said. "We kept fighting, coming back. The bullpen did a great job" in holding the Giants hitless for the game's last seven innings. "A couple of times late we had men on base but didn't capitalize. But we kept fighting."
Kemp struck out against Juan Gutierrez to finish the sixth, leaving Gordon at third after he had singled, stolen second and advanced on Buster Posey's throwing error.
"I had some good at-bats, felt really good, relaxed," Kemp said.
He will feel even better when addressing the media under happier circumstances, not being asked to analyze the conduct of his headline-dominating teammate in right field.

After the way Hasbro screwed up the Iron Man and Wolverine lines, I have very low expectations.
Nice! It will be interesting to see to what lengths they go, especially as others have said, being burned by lots of toy lines in the past 3-4 years
I hope they don't kill this line with 99% of it being Captain America... need to make the other characters too. That's what helps make Star Wars and GI JOE so successful - variety!

Louis Macaluso, 47, Westfield, New Jersey, a title company owner, has pleaded guilty to criminal charges for stealing a total of $5.3 million entrusted to him as a settlement agent to pay off multiple mortgage loans in connection with real estate closings he handled.
Macaluso, who owned and operated Affinity Title Agency, Inc., pleaded guilty to an accusation charging him with theft and misconduct by a corporate official, both in the second degree, before Superior Court Judge Edward A. Jerejian in Bergen County. Under the plea agreement, the state will recommend that Macaluso be sentenced to 10 years in state prison on each charge, with the sentences to run concurrently, and that he pay a $10,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 3.
In pleading guilty, Macaluso admitted that, between July 2010 and September 2012, he failed to use funds entrusted to him as a settlement agent to pay off 34 outstanding mortgage loans on properties in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. The unpaid balances totaled approximately $5.3 million. Macaluso diverted the funds for his own use or the use of Affinity. All of the homeowners involved had their mortgages paid off in full by the title companies that had insured the titles on the properties.
The three companies that sustained losses – New Jersey Title Insurance Co., Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Co. and Title Resource Guaranty Co. – filed civil actions in federal court against Macaluso, who has executed consent judgments to pay full restitution. He has made an initial payment of $700,000. The Attorney General's Office, acting on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, arranged for Macaluso to surrender his New Jersey insurance producer license. He previously surrendered his insurance producer licenses in Colorado and Ohio. Affinity Title Agency, which was a New Jersey corporation, is no longer in business.
Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman announced the guilty plea.
Deputy Attorney General Frank J. Brady Jr. prosecuted Macaluso and took the guilty plea for the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau. Detective Kimberly Allen conducted the investigation for the Division of Criminal Justice. The investigation began with referrals from the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Division of Law.
"Real estate sales frequently attract con artists because of the huge sums of money involved," said Acting Attorney General Hoffman. "It is particularly alarming, however, when individuals who run licensed businesses engage in theft, because their crimes undermine confidence in the industry. We will continue to work closely with the Department of Banking and Insurance to uncover such crimes and aggressively prosecute those who abuse their licenses."
"Although title insurers and lenders frequently bear the cost of fraud in the real estate market, they ultimately pass it on to home buyers in the form of higher premiums and loan rates," said Director Elie Honig of the Division of Criminal Justice. "We're working hard to prosecute white collar crime, because insecurity in the business environment harms all businesses and consumers."

text: B.G. was among the first rappers on Cash Money Records, and though he eventually departed from the label and forged his own path through the rap industry, he remains associated with Cash Money, with which he enjoyed his greatest success, most notably the epochal 1999 hit "Bling Bling." Born Christopher Dorsey on September 3, 1980, in New Orleans, LA, B.G. made his recording debut in 1995, at age 14, on the Cash Money album True Story, also featuring Lil Wayne (then only 11 years old) and Mannie Fresh (Cash Money's longtime in-house producer). Three albums -- Chopper City (1996), It's All on U, Vol. 1 (1997), and It's All on U, Vol. 2 (1997) -- followed, along with the debut album by the Hot Boys (a group featuring B.G.), Get It How U Live! (1997), before Cash Money signed a major-label distribution deal with Universal Records. B.G.'s next album, Chopper City in the Ghetto (1999), was among the first Cash Money albums to benefit from the distribution deal with Universal, spawning the nationwide hit single "Bling Bling" (thus popularizing the term) and reaching platinum status. A second Hot Boys album, Guerrilla Warfare (1999), was released in the wake of this success, and it likewise went platinum, spawning a pair of hits ("We on Fire," "I Need a Hot Girl"). Also in 1999, Cash Money, at the height of its popularity, went about reissuing some of its back catalog titles, including True Story and Chopper City. B.G.'s next album, Checkmate (2000), was his last for Cash Money, as he left following a dispute over money. In 2002 B.G. formed his own label, Chopper City Records (distributed by Koch), and subsequently released Livin' Legend (2003), a bitter album that aired out his beef with Cash Money rappers Brian "Baby" Williams (aka Birdman) and Lil Wayne. A series of Chopper City releases followed, including Life After Cash Money (2004), The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 1 (2005), The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 2 (2006), and We Got This (2007), the latter a collaborative album featuring his affiliate group, the Chopper City Boyz. The four-man group was whittled down to a duo when their second effort, Life in the Concrete Jungle, arrived in 2008. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Hands off my hoodie! Or, politicizing a fashion staple…
Is it time to pack up our hoodies?
Not because the crocuses are blooming or because Mr. Blackwell says sweatshirts with hoods are out this year. Nope.
The hoodie's status as sportswear and street-style staple could perhaps be jeopardized thanks to Fox News Latino commentator Geraldo Rivera, who said recently while speaking about Flordia's Trayvon Martin/Neighborhood Watch shooting that wearing a hoodie is tantamount to sticking up a convenience store.
Rivera's exact words on "Fox & Friends," which he has begrudgingly apologized for: "I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as (shooter) George Zimmerman was…"
