October 2002
New Laws Affect Sales and Use Tax
Louisiana Legislature enacted several measures affecting local sales and use
taxes during its 2002 Special and Regular Sessions. The measures include:
2002 Special Session
Act 3 (HB-104) Provides a sales and use tax exclusion for
capital expenditures by biotechnology companies.
Act 7 (HB-30) Provides an exclusion from the state sales
and use tax for certain computer software. This exemption is optional for local
sales and use tax. The local jurisdictions in East Baton Rouge Parish have not
adopted an exemption for custom computer software.
Act 98 (HB-127) Provides sales tax filing requirements
for the state and its departments, agencies, boards and commissions.
2002 Regular Session
Act 64 (HB-135) Extends the time limitations for the exclusion of motor
vehicles purchased for lease.
Act 67 (HB-158) Provides an exclusion from state and local sales and use
tax for certain costs of publishing businesses.
Act 85 (SB-86) Provides a sales and use tax exclusion for certain
tangible personal property sold by a dealer in connection with the sale or use
of mobile telecommunication services.
On July 24, 2002, a State District Court Judge issued a preliminary injunction regarding this
sales and use tax exclusion. As a result, this exclusion is not in effect until
the courts issue a final decision.
Act 61 (HB-124) Excludes digital television and digital radio conversion
equipment from state sales and use tax. Authorizes local taxing agencies to
adopt an ordinance excluding this equipment. The local jurisdictions in East
Baton Rouge Parish have not adopted this exclusion.
Act 56
(HB-82) Excludes certain transactions
relating to manufactured homes from local sales and use tax. This exclusion is
phased in over four years, beginning January 1, 2003.
Act 70
(HB-205) Excludes from state and local
sales and use tax purchases by non-profit blood banks and blood collection
Act 71
(HB-207) Excludes from state and local sales and
use tax apheresis kits and leuko reduction filters used by non-profit blood
banks and blood collection centers.
Act 37 (SB-57) Local taxing agencies are authorized to adopt an exemption
for the sales, administration, or procurement of certain prescription drugs. The
local jurisdictions in East Baton Rouge Parish have not adopted this exemption.
Act 42 (SB-71) Provides an exemption from local sales and use tax for
cancer and related chemotherapy prescription drugs.
Act 31 (SB-39) Provides an exemption from state and local sales and use
tax for repairs on drilling rigs and equipment used offshore.

respect to the exemption provided owners and operators of ships or vessels
operating in such commerce.
Act 41 (SB-70) Provides an exemption from state and local sales and use
tax for ships and ship supplies.

certain steelworks and blast furnaces.
Act 6 (HB-73) Authorizes local taxing agencies to adopt an ordinance
exempting farm equipment from local sales and use tax. The local jurisdictions
in East Baton Rouge Parish have not adopted this exemption.
Act 4 (HB-54) Extends the state and local sales and use tax exemptions
for boiler fuel.
Cell Phone Exemptions - Preliminary
On July 24, 2002, the State District Court
issued a preliminary injunction on the sales
and use tax exclusion for cell phone equipment. The exclusion was challenged by
the Policy Jury Association of Louisiana and the Louisiana Municipal
Association. A lawsuit was filed against the state claiming the Louisiana
Constitution prohibits the Legislature from releasing or extinguishing any
indebtedness, liability, or obligation of a corporation to the state, a parish,
or a municipality. As a result of the preliminary injunction issued by District
Court Judge Curtis Callaway, the cell phone exclusion is not in effect until the
courts issue a final decision. Until then, all sales and use taxes due in the
local jurisdictions in East Baton Rouge Parish on cell phone equipment will be
based on Rule 117, Cellular Telephones, of our Rules and Regulations.
Rule 117. Cellular Telephones
A. Sales of cellular telephone equipment and repairs of
cellular telephones are subject to sales tax. Cellular telephone service
charges (air-time) are not subject to tax.
B. Cellular telephones sold for less than fair market value
or given away with the condition that the customer subscribe to cellular
services for a specified period of time, are subject to use tax based on the
cost price of the cellular phone. Credit will be given for local sales and use
tax paid on the sale of the telephone.
Digital Imaging
As published in the July 2001 and the October 2001 issues of the "Tax Facts,"
the Revenue Division has implemented its digital imaging system. As a result, we
will no longer be able to accept photo copies, fax copies, spreadsheets, and tax
services prepared forms.
In addition, when preparing your return, you must round to the nearest dollar
and record all deductions on the back of the sales and use tax return. The Sales
Tax Worksheet should be used in preparing your return. You may download
the worksheet and the sales and use tax instructions from our web site under the
"Forms" link on the Finance Department's home page.
Sales Tax Due Dates
Following are the sales tax due dates for the fourth quarter of
For the
Month of
Tax Due
November 1
December 1
January 1
November 21
December 21
January 21, 2003
Remember to mail your return
early! Returns bearing a U.S. postmark on or after the above delinquent
dates will be assessed penalty, interest, and loss of vendor's compensation.
How Important Is a Postmark Date?
Revenue Division computer system uses the U.S. Post Office postmark on the
envelope in determining whether a return is current or delinquent. The due date
for all registered filers is the 1st of the month in which the sales
and use tax is due. A return is considered delinquent after the 20th
of the same month (see Tax Facts, October 1995). If the 20th falls on
a weekend or holiday, the return must be postmarked by the next work day. Any
taxpayer whose return is postmarked after the delinquent date will receive a
notice of additional tax (forfeiture of vendor's compensation) , penalty, and
interest due. The return will be considered as a partial payment, and the
taxpayer will receive delinquent notices until final remittance is made.
The U.S. Post Office postmark is used to enforce the
assessment of penalty and interest and the loss of vendor's compensation. It
is the responsibility of each dealer to ensure that sales and use taxes are
transmitted in a timely manner. Additionally, dealers should be aware that
giving their return to their route postal worker on the 20th could
result in a delinquent return if the envelope is not postmarked until the next
day. To avoid this situation, all taxpayers are urged to mail early to ensure
that their returns are recognized as filed timely.

<legend>blah blah</legend>
blah and blahblah the blah blah ... blah.
fieldset {
background-color: black;
color: white;
legend {
padding: 2px;
border: 1px solid green;
The Problem: the background-color set for fieldset colours in more than just what's inside the boundaries of the fieldset, i.e. its borders. What happens is it colours in from the top of the legend to the bottom of the fieldset.
What can I do to make it only colour what's inside the boundaries (borders) of the fieldset? I tried putting a <span> inside the fieldset, setting it as block and giving it a background colour, but it didn't colour the part where the legend overlaps the fieldset.
Have you thought of the fact the fieldset might have its own specific boundaries, which go a bit further then just wrapping whats inside, just like form tags.
You can try setting the margin and padding to 0 for the fieldset and see how it goes.
Yep the fieldset has these irritating boundaries where it goes well above the actual top of the fieldset itself, it includes the legend.
I did a bit of research on the matter, and it seems that this is a problem with no solution at the moment, so I think i'll just leave it for now, it's not too much of a problem anyway.
If you are just using the fieldset to make borders and not using it for accessibility reasons around forms etc then you could just revert to basic css and use something like this.
The above link was to demonstrate a different bug in another post but shows thats its quite easy to produce the effect you wanted.
If your code is for grouping form elements then ignore the above as the fieldset is more semantically correct
Hi Paul,
I will be using the fieldset for forms, but also in some places, without forms, but I've found that in the context of my design, having the background be the same as its parent's background seems to make it fit in better; thanks for the link however, as I'm sure it will come in handy for other things :).
Here's a hack that seems to work (I was having the same problem of the fieldset bg extending over the top border):
Works well in IE, Safari, and Mozilla, although Mozilla seems to add extra padding at the top that I can't get rid of.
BTW, trick was to add position:relative to the fieldset, position:absolute to the legend, and then put a negative top margin on the legend.
Hi,Thanks midnight - now why didn't I think of that doh! I did exactly the same thing in my demo above but used other elements.
I just tested it out and it works fine in firefox and ie6 but opera needs another div around the fieldset otherwise it places the legend at the top of the screen.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd)">
<html xmlns="[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">
fieldset {
legend {
border:1px solid #000;
padding:2px 5px;
<div style="position:relative">
<legend>Here's the legend</legend>
Thanks again for the tip
This trick will force you to apply a top padding to the fieldset - otherwise the content will be too close to the top border in IE.
You can use the underscore hack in order to not let this css affect firefox and opera. My styles defs look like this:
fieldset {
_position : relative; /* The underscore means only IE will see it */
_padding-top : 20px; /* Stupid IE */
_padding-bottom : 15px;
_display : block;
border : 1px solid black;
width : 40em;
background-color : #DDF1F6;
margin-bottom : 15px;
legend {
_position : absolute;
_top : -10px;
font-weight : bold;
font-size : 120%;
padding : 0px 10px 0px 10px;
border-color: black;
border-style : solid;
border-width : 1px;
background-color : #C3E0E8;
in reply to acebone:
I think you forgot to mention to place a
_left: 10px
in the css for the legend tag.. without that IE was placing the legend on the top right side of the legend in my browser. Great hack though, saved me a lot of time, thanks
fieldset is a block element. so adjust its boundaris.give margin of legend a negative value & made padding-top of fieldset none!fieldset{padding-top:0px;background-color: black;color: white;}legend { padding: 2px; border: 1px solid green;}*+html legend{margin:-8px 0 0 0;}It will work
FF is so evil here : (
I've used the span-inside-the-legend trick... while I've been able to positioned the legend completely offscreen using pos: absolute and both a left: -9999em for regular browsers (incl IE) and margin-left: -9999em for Gecko, when positioning on the page somewhere, I've needed the span to not hack so much for IE then. I can set the fieldset to pos: rel and the span inside the legend to pos: abso, and this has worked out (maybe because IE has trouble positioning someone who's nearest positioned ancestor isn't a direct parent but a grandparent or whatever). I don't like the extra markup though, but it works.
Why was this thread re-opened its 4 years old!
John has information on styling legends here.

Priceless Moments: Vernacular photographs are a snapshot of folk art
Vintage snapshots have become collectible for three reasons. First, even the best pictures are still relatively cheap. Second, the lowly snapshot has been the subject of at least half a dozen critical books and a number of museum shows.

Not What I Had Hoped
By Dixie
from Southern Utah
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Riverstone Genesis 41" x 42" Cold Frame:
The top blew off. The clasps don't clasp on one side. When I lift the lid, sometimes it separates from where it connects. It is too small for the box I set it on, but they don't make one bigger. It has been keeping my cabbage plants alive and growing through the cold months, but, I do not expect it will be durable for the long term. The design and constructions has issues from the start. The clasp connections are poor design and don't function as they should, making the lid susceptible to blowing off. I can not secure one side. So, for the price, this cold frame is not as durable as it should be. I will not be buying another one. I will make my own for much less money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice Cold Frame
By CoryRunway
from New Jersey
We were very impressed with the price at this retailer. I can not use their name because it was flagged for using profanity when I tried to submit it. Kind of funny!!The quality of this item is what you would expect for the cost, actually it was much better. If you are looking for a cold frame to use to extend the season with your seedlings this works fine.The top is a little flimsy but easily fixed with a brink on the lid. The truth is that any other cold frame at this price point would be much less functional and attractive.

Baldy Village, and Lake Arrowhead offer hiking, skiing, snowboarding, camping, boating, fishing, horseback riding and other recreational activities.
Mission Inn
From its modest beginnings as a 12-room adobe boarding house to its current stature consisting of 239 guest rooms, the National Historic Landmark Mission Inn Hotel & Spa has been the keystone of downtown Riverside since 1876.
The Alhambra Court at the Mission Inn
The fourth floor of the Mission Inn features the Moorish-themed Alhambra Court, built in 1923-1924. The suite includes a huge fireplace and beams of Mexican cedar. The Carmel Tower overlooks the corner of Sixth and Orange Streets in Riverside
The Chinese Memorial Pavilion
The Pavilion is a memorial to the early Chinese pioneers, including those from Jiangmen, Riverside's sister city and the home of the Chinese citrus industry, who contributed to the development of agriculture transportation and commerce in Riverside and Southern California. Funded by the Republic of China (Taiwan), the City of Riverside and the non-profit Chinese Pavilion Committee, it is located on the grounds of the Riverside Public Library.
Unique Spanish and Mediterranean Architecture
The influence of the Spanish and Mediterranean architectures are seen throughout the city, including a significant portion of downtown.
Proud to Call Inland Southern California Our Home
UCR's main campus is in Riverside in the geographical center of Inland Southern California . Located near the junction of the 91, 215 and 60 freeways, UCR is approximately 50 miles east of Los Angeles and 100 miles north of San Diego.
The city of Riverside is a vibrant, culturally diverse center of commerce, finance, industry, and education with a population of more than 294,000.
Riverside is home to libraries, art and history museums, theaters, concert venues, a convention center, fine restaurants, quaint shops, modern shopping malls, and a wide variety of sports and other recreational activities that make living comfortable and fun.
Its people reflect the same cultural and ethnic diversity found throughout Southern California, giving the city a rich, cosmopolitan feel.
The Riverside area enjoys a year-round temperate climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters.
The city's "Mediterranean image" derives from the many examples of fine architecture in the California Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial styles that dot its landscape, including the world famous Mission Inn Hotel in downtown Riverside.

Riverside? Where's the River?

The Santa Ana River and Mt. Rubidoux following rains in December, 2009.
A frequently asked question by visitors and newcomers to Riverside is "Where is the river?" The answer is simple: the Santa Ana River runs just west of the city, less than five miles from the downtown city center. Those who expect to find a mighty flowing river like the Colorado or Mississippi will be disappointed by this comparatively small cousin that gave Riverside its name. However, they might be surprised to learn that it is one of the largest river systems in Southern California.
The Santa Ana River begins in the watershed areas of the nearby San Bernardino National Forest, then makes its way nearly 100 miles through San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange Counties before emptying into the Pacific Ocean between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach.
Most of the source for the river comes from snow melt in the watershed area of the mountains. As a result of Southern California's generally dry climate, flood control efforts and the usage of water for public consumption by cities that border the river, very little water flows throughout the year. That can change dramatically during the rainy months, as the river can grow remarkably in size for short periods of time. In fact, the river recorded three devastating floods, in 1862, 1938 and 1969. Subsequent preventative flood control efforts have reduced the risk of such a flood occurring again, but have also limited the size and flow of the river.

Hi, Gavin,
And easy to understand graphic diagram.Make sure to say hi to your mum for be.
God bless.
Thanks Percy. Glad that you found the link useful, I liked it too. And for sure I will say hi to my mum from you. I hope all is good with you too and that you are enjoying the weekend! And hope that you are getting some sun in Chi town too!
Take care,
Hi Gavin,
I also wanted to thank you for posting this. Lauren will be having Theraspheres which is very similar. It was nice to see that many live longer with this treatment. Lauren had her mapping last week and is still pretty sore at the puncture site, but is feeling better every day. It didn't help that she had chemo last week too. Thanks again, Gavin.
Hi Pam,
Always glad to be of help if I can. I read your post about Lauren's mapping last week and sorry to hear what she had to go through. I hope that she makes a very speedy recovery from that. And was happy to hear that you got a reply most quickly to your email as well. Now they know not to mess with you!! And I so hope that Lauren's treatment will go very well.

Amazon Prepares E-Book Subscription Service
Amazon.com appears poised to launch a subscription e-book service offering unlimited access to about 600,000 titles.
The service would be called Kindle Unlimited and allow customers to download select e-books for $9.99 per month. Amazon briefly posted details of the service to its website, as noted earlier by GigaOm.
Kindle Unlimited would compete with subscription startups like Oyster and Scribd. Scribd offers access to more than 400,000 titles for $8.99, while Oyster offers access to more than 500,000 e-books for $9.95. Both services compensate publishers after a specific threshold of each title has been read.
In a statement, Trip Adler, CEO of Scribd, said that the "apparent entrance of Amazon into the subscription market is exciting for the industry as a whole….Publishers, authors and readers alike have all seen the benefit, so it's no surprise they'd want to test the waters."
Among the titles displayed prominently on the Amazon page introducing the proposed subscription service are the three novels that make up Suzanne Collins' post-apocalyptic "Hunger Games" trilogy published by Scholastic.
A spokeswoman for Scholastic said that Amazon had the contractual right to put its e-book titles into a subscription program and didn't need to strike a new agreement. She said Amazon had informed Scholastic of its intentions.
Scholastic, she added, will be compensated for each book read in the subscription program as though it was a typical Kindle sale. However, she said she was uncertain whether compensation would be tied to a threshold level of text that consumers have to read in order for a title to be counted as a "sale."
Arthur Klebanoff, CEO of e-book publisher RosettaBooks LLC, said his distribution contract with Amazon gives Amazon a wide array of rights as long as Amazon pays the agreed-upon wholesale price of each title.
"We think subscription books are an excellent way to build the digital books business," said Mr. Klebanoff. "The longer term question is where compensation eventually settles in." RosettaBooks publishes about 600 titles.
The page promoting Kindle Unlimited is no longer visible. An Amazon spokeswoman didn't respond to a request for comment.
Subscription e-books services have struggled to draw the newest releases from publishers, who are reluctant to forgo e-book and physical-copy sales that tend to be more profitable.
Amazon has been aggressively launching new services and products this year, including unlimited streaming music and devices like the Fire TV set-top box and Fire smartphone, due out later this month.

Bradley gets five hits on perfect night
Red Sox prospect leads Minors with .507 on-base percentage
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | May 12, 2012 8:51 PM ET
The Red Sox's No. 19 prospect went 5-for-5 with a double and three RBIs on Saturday to lead Class A Advanced Salem to a 9-4 win over Myrtle Beach.
Bradley has reached base in 26 straight games and 30 of the 31 he's played to start the season. His .507 on-base percentage leads all Minor Leaguers.
In a move that would make A's architect Billy Beane proud, Bradley has shown he cares about his ability to set the table from the top of Salem's lineup.
"[Hitting leadoff] means being able to work the count and take some pitches," he said. "I need to take some pitches to let my teammates see what the pitcher has and for myself as well when I come up again later in the game. After that, I'm trying to get on base."
Perhaps unlike Beane, Bradley -- who also leads the Carolina League in batting average (.389), runs scored (32) and walks (26) -- could care less about his numbers and more about what's posted on the old-fashioned scoreboard.
"As long as I'm getting on base, I'm giving my teammates an opportunity to knock me in and get some runs," he said when asked about his statistics.
Selected 40th overall in last year's Draft, Bradley came to the Red Sox organization after a roller-coaster career at the University of South Carolina. He led the national champion Gamecocks with a .368 batting average in 2010 and was named Most Outstanding Player at the College World Series that year. However, his average dipped to .247 last year, another banner campaign for South Carolina.
Bradley seems to be returning to his sophomore ways, a fact that has pleased the center fielder. But he knows that without proper focus, he could easily return to his hitting woes from a year ago.
"Everything's happening so fast," Bradley said. "But I have to keep being myself up there ... use the whole field, not try to do too much. Go the other way and go the other way with authority as well. I'm still confident that I know I can take a few pitches, too, and that I'm taking pitchers' pitches."
On a personal note, Bradley said that a move back to his home state, where he was named to the Virginia AAA All-State team after his senior year at Prince George High School, has provided a sense of comfort and confidence.
"It's great," he said. "My family is able to see most of my home games and it makes traveling for them a lot easier. Playing in front of my family makes things a lot easier. I just try to show them what I'm capable of out there."
Drake Britton allowed four hits and four walks over four scoreless innings. The Red Sox's No. 14 prospect has given up four earned runs over 16 innings in his last four starts to lower his ERA to 7.31.

Forbes' Most Trusthworthy Celebrities
The likeability of a celebrity often has to do with how much we feel we can trust them. Forbes released their Most Trustworthy Celebrities list and it is no surprise that Tom Hanks tops the list at #1. Morgan Freeman comes in at #3 and Betty White ranks #5. The funny thing is, no one who made the list is under 50 years old! I guess young stars like Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus have some time before they can make the cut!

FLORENCE – The Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center Tuesday celebrated the artistic and financial success of its inaugural season, and announced plans for the upcoming year.
FMU President Dr. Fred Carter said the PAC hopes to build on its successful first season which saw the facility actually make a small profit as it fulfilled its mission to serve students and the general public. Some 25,000 people attended events at the PAC which included more than 100 performances as well as academic and community events.
In addition to those performances, thousands of school children from all over the Pee Dee area enjoyed programs selected especially for them from the Family Series. The PAC was also able to showcase performances from the Florence Symphony Orchestra, the FMU Department of Fine Arts, and the Masterworks Choir. Also, a number of performers, organizations, businesses and individuals rented the facility for public and private events.
The new season will have five different series performing on the main stage that include Broadway shows, Americana, dance, family oriented shows and a variety series as well as a wide range of acts in the more intimate Black Box Theatre.
The 68,000-square-foot center can seat 850 in the Mainstage Auditorium and up to 125 in the Black Box Theatre. As an educational facility, the center houses classrooms and office space for the FMU Department of Fine Arts. In addition, the building houses offices for the Florence Symphony, the FMU Music Industry faculty and the Drs. Bruce & Lee Foundation.
Development and construction of the FMU Performing Arts Center was made possible by the generosity of the Drs. Bruce & Lee Foundation, the state of South Carolina, the city of Florence and several private benefactors including BB&T, McLeod Health, Adele Kassab and others throughout the community.
Tickets may be purchased at www.fmupac.org, via telephone at (843) 661-4444, and at the FMU Performing Arts Center Box Office. Telephone and personal ticket sales are available Monday through Thursday between 12-5 p.m. Subject to availability, tickets for individual performances will be available 30 days prior to the show.

Discussion in 'Assets and Asset Store' started by SpookyCat, May 18, 2011.
Yes, I reimported all the files and the error was fixed.
Wahey, congratulations in overcoming the recent hurdles that prevented the update from being published, wow what a slog! I know the problem was not of your making, so I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your persistence and calmness in the face of much frustration.
Not tried the new version myself yet, its on the agenda for this afternoon.
The congrats should go to the Unity boffins they figured out and fixed the issues, main upshot is don't submit assets if you are have the webplayer platform set in build settings, odd bug but still.
Just another note I have my brother working on a new test object/scene which will be used to produce a video guide of each modifier in the system for adding to the docs web site and for giving a better visual guide to what each param does, hes a busy chap with other projects so not sure when they will start to go up. Just need to find some good voice changing software otherwise it will have to be captions
Not that it matters, but I'm willing to bet my money on the fact that this has something to do with Web Player security sandbox simulation shebang. In a way it makes sense.
Hi SpookyCat,
You may remember I created a procedural race track building thing using your Megashapes awhile back. Well, today I finally upgraded to Unity 3.5, and it broke my Mega-Fiers procedural stuff. I've updated Mega-Fiers to the brand new 1.84, but still no luck. I am sure it is my fault because Mega-Fiers appears to work fine outside of my procedural hack. So.. before I rebuild my procedural stuff I wanted to see if you have any ETA for your Loft system. From the video on your website, it looks like exactly what I need.
Hi MooseMouse
I do indeed and I keep checking your site for updates Mmm for the stuff you are using the only thing that changed was how the handles are displayed and the display of the knot and line gizmo sizes was tinkered with a bit. If you can let me know via email/pm if you prefer what changes you made (if any) or how you are using it for your tracks I am sure we can track down what needs to be done to get it working again.
As for Shapes it is very close, I need to do some web page docs for it and tidy up the code I have and do some videos but it is very close it will certainly be this month, and yeah I think it is a system you could make rather good use of I really would like to get the test scene sorted for it as well and that needs my brother, hes the art side and he gets a bit grumpy if I release stuff with my art in
I've been looking at the mesh prefab issue with the MegaShapes version that comes with Mega-Fiers.
Simplest solution I've found for those who want the MegaShape script to remain part of the prefab and be able to manipulate the spline mesh at runtime, is to add a Start function to MegaShapes that runs the MegaShapes BuildMesh function. And make a couple of other changes so that if materials already exist, don't replace them with empty ones.
For a different scenario, where you want to keep the resulting mesh as an asset but remove the spline script once you are happy with the mesh, I suppose there are a few approaches. Its not really clear to me if mesh assets can be saved into the asset database in the way many other types of content can, but could use something like the obj creator script to create an empty object that MegaShapes then uses to store the generated mesh. Or more simply, if we are leaving the creation/selection of the 'dummy' mesh asset up to the user, modify MegaShapes so that the script can either be added to a game object that already has a mesh filter without MegaShapes reassigning a new mesh to the mesh filter. Or alternatively change MegaShapes so that the user can drag an existing mesh object onto a variable slot, and that mesh will be used rather than creating a new one.
Perhaps there are prefab bug fixes which will make this stuff easier for you, but when attempting to learn about this stuff I haven't come across anything which made me appreciate exactly what fix would make these sorts of issues easier to deal with. When it comes to prefabs that are not living in the scene at startup, doesn't a megafied mesh either needs to live in a mesh asset or be generated when the prefab is instantiated? Thats been the assumption that dawned on me when playing with the MegaShapes side of things and hacking together a fix that doesn't require scripts to be added/activated/reset on the prefabs in question.
On a somewhat related note, you may recall that when I first talked about instances etc ages ago, it was because I had confused myself in the editor when duplicating Megafied objects that are going to be animated at runtime. The duplicates were referring to the originals mesh instance (or a similar sharedMesh issue) which meant that the modifier on the original object was influencing all the duplicates, and the scripts on the duplicate were ignored. There were ways to fix this by resetting certain things, in a way thats probably not a million miles away from the above MegaShapes stuff. And under some situations its actually a good thing, if you want all instances to animate in exactly the same way then you save a lot of calculations by only having one MegaFier mesh doing the work. Anyway at the time I was looking at this as more something I had to remember when using the editor, but Im thinking that this issue may raise its head when fixing the prefab issue. Do people expect each instance of the prefab to be independent, with its own mesh instance, or not? Clarity and choice could be achieved in numerous different ways Im sure. Personally Im probably going to structure my projects with the idea that anything with a megafiers script on it will be independent of other instances. And on occasions where I want multiple instances of an animated megafied object to be driven/calculated by just one instance of a set of modifiers, the clones will just be game objects with a mesh filter that is pointing to the mesh thats being modified by the master instance of the object that has the Modifier scripts on it.
make any sense? Real issues? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Just had a go at the prefab issue using Modifiers rather than MegaShapes.
Looks real easy to deal with for the scenario where megafiers scripts are left attached to the prefab, as you already have suitable stuff in Start function, and we already have the base mesh asset in the project.
All you need to do after turning the Megafied object into a prefab, is to go to the prefab in the project window, and drag the original mesh asset from wherever it lives in your project folder, onto the mesh variable of the Mesh filter component. Now when you instantiate this prefab, it does exactly what Megafiers does when you first modify an object in the editor - it creates a new mesh instance using whatever mesh asset the mesh filter is using, and then modifies that instance.
Sorry for all the words, but while Im in a state where I (perhaps foolishly) think I've got my head around the issue, I'd like to summarise my conclusions so far:
At the heart of the issue is that prefabs won't store a mesh that only exists as an instance in the scene, which sort of makes sense as that instance could be destroyed, although can also see why this causes issues and may feel broken, especially as I assume that things like knots, morphs, point caches etc that exist as instances of your script variables are saved. Issue could be thought of as a limitation of the mesh filter, this component doesn't store its mesh when turned into a prefab, its more of a mere reference to a mesh than a safe home for the mesh.
Solution for situations where your scripts are to remain attached to the prefab simply require the right things to happen during Start function, and when it comes to Modifiers rather than MegaShapes, perhaps a little bit of action in an editor script, if its possible for the script to know when its object is being turned into a prefab, it could change the mesh filter to reference the asset mesh rather than the instance.
Solution for situations where people use your scripts to generate or modify stuff in the editor but don't use them at runtime, requires some sort of save function that will actually make a permanent change to an existing mesh asset (or create a new one), rather than relying on the mesh instance which for all practical purposes only exists so long as the relevant game object exists in the scene. Possible alternative solution is for you to store the actual mesh in an additional way inside instances of your script, and then this will get saved in the prefab like morphs etc do (at least I hope they do, I haven't actually tried this with prefabs recently). But Im not sure this alternative solution is the best one, personally if Im keeping a modified mesh in the project then it may as well be as a normal mesh asset that I can see in the project browser and access like any other mesh asset.
lol oops there is an obvious flaw in my 'possible alternative solution' at end of last post - what use is it to store the mesh in a script if the usage scenario is for people who don't have your script attached to the object by that point?
But who knows, if you are against the idea of modifying underlying mesh project assets or there are tech probs with doing this, then this idea is an alternative way to store the mesh info in a prefab. A script that only stores the info, and uses the info to create a mesh instance at runtime and make the mesh filter use it, would be all people would need to keep attached to the object.
Not that I actually use MegaFiers only in the editor myself, I use it for runtime animation so keep scripts attached, but I've covered this scenario in case some of your other users use it that way.
Thanks for the offer of help Unfortunately I've got some server issues that are taking all of my time right now, so I'm not sure when I will get back to this. I will definitely email you if I find something, but hopefully your loft system will be ready by then
Thanks elbows for the ideas, I will be looking at the prefab side soon, I was in the process of adding some buttons to the inspector to make a prefab via code out of the objects and do a copy button that doesnt end up being an instance.
Hello and thank you SpookyCat! I got mega fiers this week and im very very satisfied : ) So what about MegaMesh Boolean?
Cant wait for that one, when will it surface? eta?
@nrldn - Good to hear you are having fun, if you make anything cool please do post a screen shot or video would love to see more of what it is being used for MegaMesh will be coming after I get MegaShapes out the door, not sure on time frame it depends on how much I want to get in the initial release of bothe Shapes and Mesh.
Also as a side note I see a lot of people arnt upgrading to 3.5 until they see it a little more stable (not seen any problems myself I have to say) so if anyone is thinking of purchasing the system but cant because they are using an older version of Unity then pm me and we can work something out.
Just started playing with Megafiers today after having owned it for awhile....OMG why didn't I look at this sooner.
Hi Chris
Appreciate your help last time, and now we have some new issue, about animations.
At the moment, the avatars customization working nicely with the ability to morph/change parts realtime.
We have 9 differents part for each character with few of them have these megafier morpher applied:
1) Head (morph, only facial expression)
2) Hair
3) Head accesories
4) Jacket (morph, skinny < normal > fat)
5) Pant (morph, skinny < normal > fat)
6) Shoe (morph, skinny < normal > fat)
7) Backpack (morph, skinny < normal > fat)
8) Badge (morph, skinny < normal > fat)
9) Hand item
Player start by selecting/changing parts, and once they finish , they will confirm and these avatars parts will be combined into one single game object.
According to our programmer, the animations will work well after it combined into 1 single object but not when selecting parts, some of parts will not sync the animation with other part.
And i do want to have animations like
eg: When selecting/changing jacket, it will play "look at jacket" animation
When selecting/changing pant, it will play "look at pant" animation and so on, similar to unity character
customization sample.
Anyway to workaround these?
Looking forward for your help again
That looks excellent. loads of character in your, well, character. I look forward to seeing what else you get him doing.
@hay78 - If the morphs have all come from the same scene in your 3d package where all the morphs work and animate together then you should be able to get it to be in sync with seperate morphs. By animation I assume you mean bone based on the whole character, if so then there shouldnt be a problem, the morph changes the vertex local positions but the weights stay the same so animations will be fine.
Yes, the whole character parts are using one bone setup. The animations play nicely in 3ds max and even in unity. Only concern is at customization scene where player changing parts real time. I also thought it wouldn't be problem too.
Thank you for the confirmation.
@24pfilms - That is a nice character and it works really well with the wave and I hope you show more, that is the thing I find with MegaFiers the more I use it and the more I play with the options the more I find it can do and the more ideas I get of things I can do with it. I would encourage SpookyCat to do some more videos one per modifier to really show off what each param can do to really show the power of the system as even with the videos that are out there they hardly scratch the surface of what it can do.
There are some great assets on the store doing some amazing things but MegaFiers is by far, IMHO, the most fun, easy to use and most impressive instant results for no coding asset in the store.
I am planning a series of videos, hoping the first one will b eup next week.
Sorry for the hijacking, any news on the tire deformation system and MegaCar package?
Here is another character test with some Megafier love.
Sorry it is so subtle. Will do some crazy transforms soon. Character does blink, I just haven't applied it yet.
@Slipangle - MegaCar is still under development as it is something we are using in our game as well, lots of nice features going in but I cant really say when it will be ready for release as I have two other systems to get out before and still need to work on our game.
@24pfilms - That is quite lovely, he really is a cute little fella it really is motivational to see the system in use so thank you for that. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it all
Hi Chris
We're looking to integrate a "lip sync" feature for the avatars. Our avatars don't use mouth bone rigging, so it's impossible to use bone animation. So our option would be using morph. The lip sync would NOT be highly detail, i probably only will create each vowel sound mouth morph.
I've found ispeech and voice o matic that would do the "auto" lip sync.
I'm assuming that this software will automaticly animate/ play those vowel sound morphs channel base on the recorded conversation/audio.
Which one would be more compatible with megafiers?
Thank you for your help
That is a good question, in theory both should be good, the chaps at iSpeech were integrating MegaFiers into their system for Unity but they have been very quiet recently so not sure how far along they are with that you can probably pm them, they discussed it in this thread http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/10...phs-into-Unity?p=680630&viewfull=1#post680630
As for Voice O Matic that should work fine as it is a max based system, and with MegaFiers supporting Morph O Matic as well as regular morphs and animations you should have no problem with that system either especially with the Morph Animator clip system to allow for easy playing back of sections of animations ie vowels http://www.west-racing.com/mf/?page_id=1108
@24pfilms : I like the character and the movement is great !!!
I suppose you don't need my tutorials anymore !!!
Simply try the various effects of the Megafiers and see... As I did... and you did here (with a lot of success !) !!!
My exploration has come from your great work p6r. I am now onto figuring out morph animation.
Forgot to add the video of the Mesh building options included in MegaFiers. Clicking the image takes you to my Blog Page
i'm curious whether its possible to change/edit existing meshes/objects with megashapes ?
Not with MegaShapes no it is purely a make meshes from splines system, you can though use the Path Deform modifier if you want to deform a mesh along a spline.
hey man...I've been looking for a Morph based system for my project, but it is not really easy to do with bones... Would there be a way to make this work with XSI? All I would have to do is export my FBX with the morph targets in them, and it would be a snap. Would megafiers be able to detect the morphs appropriately...? I just have a few morphs per character...
Thanks a bunch
Hi There
I currently don't have an exporter for SoftImage, though I have had a couple of requests, so you need to export the morph targets to OBJ files and then load those as shown in the video below. Other users have exported via FBX to blender, max or maya and then used the MegaFiers exporter to make life a little easier until I can find the time to do exporters for the 3d packages that I have missed so far. But if you only have a few targets then the OBJ method isn't too much extra work. More info on using OBJs and the morph system in general can be found on the website at http://www.west-racing.com/mf/?page_id=257
So I would have to export the entire body mesh with the morph applied... sounds good to me... I only have morphs for grimace, eyes, and pain
Any date for the fantastic Mega-Fiers?
@aigam - Its been in the Asset Store for quite a while
@Neptune)Imaging - You export the base mesh as normal and import into unity and then you just need to export the morph targets to OBJ files and import them via the Morph Inspector, you also need a mapping file which is just an OBJ version of the FBX.
Sorry! I mean the new MegaShapes ^^UUUU
somehow there are no options show up for the new megafiers window
I am only able to open the mega-shapes window but cant find the megafiers one :/
any ideas? got 1.83 installed
The MegaFiers window is opened by clicking the MegaFiers option in the 'Components' menu. Is that option not there for you?
Aigam, I am busy doing a code tidy on MegaShapes then I need to do some example videos which needs Tony (my brother and Artist) to create a few objects for, then build the demo scene and do the website docs, so could be a week if everything goes smoothly.
ah it works now, started a new project and reimported all now it shows up!
Just put up a new blog post on a new dynamic water modifier I have just started for MegaFiers, more info can be found on the website.
Wow, that's impressive!
Thanks Jeff, just been improving it, physics core updated and optimized, more params to control and obstacle support.
I need this ripple mod now!!!
Here is my bad attempt. click on the water.
Hi Chris,
I recently got Mega-Fiers, it is really amazing, you are doing an awesome job!!! I posted some time ago on this thread about using live webcam-footage for mega-displace, back then you didn't have Unity 3.5 installed yet. I didn't get it working myself yet, could you made have a look too? Thanks in advance!!!
@24pfilms - Is that using the Ripple warp or something else? Also what is the music?
@wimeck - Arr yes, I did actually get the webcam setup so I can have a look at that, Ill have to do some reading first not used webcams and unity together before.
No it is done of off a shader. And the music is done by a composer I met here on the forums. Aakaash Rao.
Guess we can say you can use the web cam with a displace modifier, just needed a little extra work so added it as a new modifier.
Hi Chris,
Wow, awesome! Is there a way for me to get this myself already right now?
Thanks again!!!

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:41pm
BALTIMORE – US Lacrosse has announced the 122-player tryout pool for the U.S. men's national under-19 team that will travel to Turku, Finland, in 2012 for the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 World Championships.
The tryouts will take place July 7-10, 2011, at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in Catonsville, Md.
"We have assembled an excellent group of talented, strong players," said Team USA Head Coach Tim Flynn. "It is a deep and versatile pool that will make the tryouts very competitive, and enable us to assemble an outstanding team to contend for the seventh-straight world championship title for the United States."
Flynn (Mountain Lakes High School, N.J.) and assistant coaches Jack Crawford (Loyola Blakefield, Md.), Tom Duquette (Norfolk Academy, Va.) and Tom Rotanz (Shoreham-Wading River High School, N.Y.) will lead the selection of the final 23-man roster, which will be announced July 15.
This year, US Lacrosse received 273 high school and college applicants from 32 states for Team USA tryouts.
"This is a truly impressive group, including All-American, all-state, and all-conference players from all over the country," said Nathaniel Badder, US Lacrosse director of national teams. "We had record interest in the team
this year, and to whittle the pool down this far was challenging enough. Our final team selectors certainly have their work cut out for them."

Ending a four-month sit-in, sheriff's deputies evicted a family and about 10 protesters before dawn Thursday from a Van Nuys home where the mortgage hadn't been paid in almost five years.
The property on Leadwell Street was dubbed "Fort Hernandez" after the family who had lived there since 2006.
Following an August foreclosure notice, the family stayed in the house while members of Occupy San Fernando Valley and other supporters kept watch outside and protested what they called unfair practices by banks.
Hernandez family members had said they would resist nonviolently and wouldn't leave voluntarily when evicted.
But when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies showed about 5 a.m. Thursday, everyone cooperated, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
"It was very smooth," he said.
People who had been sleeping in tents described a calm if tense scene -- deputies with flashlights telling them to gather their belongings and leave the property.
Later in the day, a new 10-foot-tall chain-link fence stood in front of the house with a private-property notice. In defiance, handwritten signs posted on the fence proclaimed: "Stolen property. Not for sale."
As they hugged goodbye around lunchtime and piled into cars to leave Van Nuys, the former protesters were sad and frustrated.
"I would say that we're powerless against the state, and the banks do whatever they want to do," Alex Leos said, wearing a backpack and carrying a red sleeping bag, along with the ukulele he'd played to pass the time during the two months he stayed at Fort Hernandez. The makeshift house band also included a washboard.
Javier Hernandez, the home's former owner, and supporters said the day might have been the end of Fort Hernandez, but was also the beginning of something else.
They said the protest drew attention to unfair lending practices and should inspire other people to resist foreclosures and push for what one, Ariana Alcaraz, called "fair housing."
"It's sad, but we feel we've accomplished a lot in the last 124 days," Hernandez said.
Adam Rice, who said he'd been at Fort Hernandez from the beginning, said a citywide "anti-eviction campaign" will begin Jan. 5. Asked what it will entail, he said, "You'll see."
As they spoke, Los Angeles police officers sat in cars down the street watching.
Whitmore said the Sheriff's Department was prepared for some resistance Thursday. He said about 100 deputies were available, but most were not needed.
There were 18 adults and no children on the property when deputies arrived, Whitmore said: six to eight family members in the house and 10 to 12 supporters in tents on the lawn. There also were five dogs.
Members of the sheriff's Community Transition Unit met with the family early this week. Hernandez said they offered a quick release if he and his brothers wanted to be arrested for symbolic reasons. But he said he'd been through enough in the past four months already, so he decided to walk out on his own.
He said he and his family would stay with friends and relatives for a while, but he wasn't sure where they'll end up.
Hernandez bought the home for $546,000 in 2006 and lived there with up to 10 relatives. In interviews earlier this year, he and his brother Ulises said he signed a subprime mortgage with terms including interest-only payments up front and an adjustable rate.
After the payment went from $3,900 to $4,500, the family stopped paying. The last payment was made in February 2008.
The Hernandezes said they weren't expecting to live in the house for free, but had sought four loan modifications and been denied each time. In retrospect, they said the mortgage was a bad deal.
"We didn't know exactly what we were getting ourselves into," Ulises Hernandez said in August.
A Bank of America spokeswoman said Javier Hernandez was given a chance to seek a modification, but didn't submit required documents last year. After a notice of eviction, the Fort Hernandez sit-in began Aug. 25.
After that, Bank of America said it gave Hernandez another chance to apply for a modification. But after reviewing documents submitted by him and others, the bank found he did not qualify.
The Hernandez brothers and supporters they met through the Occupy movement said they kept watch 24 hours a day, sometimes sitting on a scavenged assortment of couches facing the street. Behind them sat anti-bank and anti-Wall Street protest signs.
Alcaraz said some neighbors supported Fort Hernandez. But two said Thursday they were glad the occupiers were gone.
"About time they got them out of here," said Glenn Covey, who's lived on the street for 38 years.
He said loud music was played at Fort Hernandez late into the night, and the gathering created parking problems on the street.
As they departed, the protesters remained defiant, but uncertain.
"This is nowhere near the end," Lou Jones said as he waited for a ride.
But asked where he was heading, he said, "That's a good question."

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University observatory will hold a public viewing session of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and the deep sky, Friday, Sept. 26. The viewing will be from 8-11 p.m. The viewing session is open to the public free of charge.

At 13-under-par 65-68-70=203, Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat recorded a wire-to-wire victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open shortened to 54 holes due to inclement weather.
Patrick Reed stays the other side of the pond this week and makes his way to Germany for the 2017 Porsche European Open at Green Eagle GC in Hamburg.
Jhonattan Vegas came from off the pace to win the 2016 RBC Canadian Open, and hopes to repeat that performance this week as he turns his attention toward Glen Abbey Golf Club.
Alexander Levy will defend his Porsche European Open title this week at a new venue, the North Course at Green Eagle GC in Hamburg.
Lee McCoy twirled a bogey-free, 4-under-par 33-34=67 and then survived a 6-for-2 playoff during today's open qualifier into this week's RBC Canadian Open. Joining him at Glen Abbey Golf Club will be Drew Nesbitt (-5), Riley Wheeldon (-5), and Jhared Hack (-4) with the latter also surviving the 6-man playoff.
Brandt Snedeker has backed out of the field for this week's RBC Canadian Open, giving a spot to first alternate Sam Saunders.
Second-round leader and World No. 392 Chad Collins crafted a 3-under-par 36-32=68 in the final round of the Barbasol Championship to conclude on 20-under 264, up one spot to a career-best solo 2nd, one short of champion Grayson Murray, who also shot 68.
Making his tournament debut, PGA TOUR rookie and World No. 156 Grayson Murray authored a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in the final round of the Barbasol Championship to post 21-under 263, good for a one-shot win over second-round leader Chad Collins.
Matt Kuchar steadied a 1-under-par 34-35=69 during round four of The 146th Open, flirting with victory but finding himself in solo second by week's end, posting a total of 9-under 271, three strokes behind the winner, Jordan Spieth.
Jordan Spieth looked shaky early on before finishing in a fury at The 146th Open, carding a 1-under-par 37-32=69 to become Champion Golfer of the Year with a four-day tally of 12-under 268, three clear of playing partner Matt Kuchar and six shots clear of Hao Tong Li who finished in third place.
Rory McIlroy steadied a 3-under-par 33-34=67 during the final round of The 146th Open, ending his time at Royal Birkdale on 5-under 275, good for a spot inside the top 5 on the live leaderboard.
Marc Leishman blizted Royal Birkdale with a bogey-free, 5-under-par 31-34=65 during the final round of The 146th Open, flying into a share of fourth place on the live leaderboard on 4-under 276.

Kelly Slater Wins The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast…Is It Too Early To Say S11ater?
By now the title has become redundant; "Kelly Slater Wins the (fill in the blank) Pro at (fill in every single tour stop because he's won 'em all)!"
Seriously, what do you want to hear? He's the best surfer ever, most lethal competitor, and Jesus himself on a surfboard? It's all been said a million times over.
And it's all true.
Ever heard the Adam Ant song that goes "Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?" Well, Kelly don't drink (much) and certainly don't smoke. What he does do is win. Not Charlie Sheen smoking-seven-grams-of-crack-in-one-sitting winning. More like eating almonds, avoiding energy drinks, drinking smoothies, and getting seven second tube rides #winning. Smoke that Charlie. Learn from Him. By the way—Charlie don't surf (another played out but ultimately true statement).
Anyway, I've got a sick batch of photos from our ace photogs to post. Read the captions, every photo has its own little story behind it…
Congrats to runner up Taj Burrow, semifinalists Tiago Pires and Jordy Smith, the ASP, and Quiksilver for an awesome kickoff to the 2011 World Tour. Pro surfing is headed in the right direction and we're stoked to be along for the ride!
TransWorld SURF would like to thank the wonderful people of Australia for their hospitality, the Greenmount Surf Club for their humungous portions of great pub food, Corona for all the brewskis, JS Industries for the happy hour soirees, and especially Tony and the crew at Komune—our home away from home while in Australia. We love you all and can't wait to see you again next year!—Justin Coté and the entire family at TransWorld SURF.

Late night
The Losers Round
The night before the final, when the quarterfinalists were in bed early, talking strategy, and dreaming of a big win the next day. A small group of "losers" did the opposite and went bowling. In my opinion, these people aren't losers, in fact, if you ask me, they are #winning! (That's a totally hot social media reference right there). It all went down at the Ten Pin Bowling Alley in Tweed Heads, Australia. It also happened that it was Julian Wilson's older bro's B Day! Happy Birthday Seb!—Chris Coté

'Pominville has been at or near the top of the Sabres' right-wing depth chart throughout his career. The same holds true for Stafford, which is why the pair had never been paired. But when a team is 25th in the NHL in scoring and has found the net just five times in four games, it's time to change the depth chart.'

PHILADELPHIA – After a competitive year inside the city for the six Division I men's soccer programs, the Ivy League champion Penn team picked up some more hardware at the annual Philadelphia Soccer Six Banquet.
On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Soccer 6 presented its end-of-year awards and All-City selections. While Temple may have walked away with the Team of the Year Award as voted by the League's coaches, the Red and Blue were well represented when the All-City teams were announced.
Senior defender Jonny Dolezal and junior forward Duke Lacroix both were named to the Soccer 6 All-Star team.
This was not the first award Lacroix walked away with this season, having also been named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, unanimous first-team All-Ivy, and NSCAA second-team All-Region. In 18 matches this season, Lacroix logged team highs in goals (8) and points (19) and picked up Player of the Week Awards from the Ivy League, ECAC, and Soccer 6 for his performance during the week of October 14.

True to his title as co-captain, Dolezal played a critical role in the Quakers' wins over Yale and reigning Ivy League champion Cornell with decisive late goals in each. Following the victory over Cornell, he was named Soccer 6 Co-Player of the Week, his first such honor.
Freshmen Alec Neumann, a forward, and Matt Poplawski, a midfielder, both showed the solid foundation of Penn's underclassmen, both being named to the Soccer 6 All-Rookie team. Neumann, a second-team All-Ivy selection, recorded five goals over the course of 18 matches. His 14 points were also top amongst Ivy League rookies. Additionally, his two goals and assist against Sacred Heart earned him Rookie of the Week honors from the Ivy League and City 6, while CollegeSportsMadness.com named him Ivy League Player of the Week. Fans also saw Poplawski make an appearance in all 18 matches on the season, earning honorable mention All-Ivy for his efforts. He logged six points, two goals, and two assists on the season, including a game-tying goal in the victory over Princeton on November 9.
Along the way, the Red and Blue saw a number of players earn weekly honors from the Philadelphia Soccer 6. Stephen Baker, Dolezal, Lacroix earned Player of the Week honors during the season, and Poplawski, Neumann and Sam Hayward also were named Rookie of the Week throughout the season.
