Site Redesigned
So I decided to play around with some CSS and ended up rewriting my website again.
This new iteration of the site is now using a static site generator called Hakyll, which, as you've probably guessed, is written in Haskell. Hakyll is really nice because it is configured quite similarly to XMonad, making it very easily scriptable and very flexible.
In other news, I've moved away from UI Kit and decided to roll my own CSS. Furthermore, I went a bit crazy with the new semantic tags in HTML 5. This entire page contains fewer than ten
div tags and almost no CSS classes. Everything is styled based on element names. This is nice because I can completely change how the page looks through CSS alone—without touching any HTML. I'm using CSS how the gods (W3C) intended for it to be used.
The layout is also responsive. It works really nicely on mobile devices. The nav bar simply turns in to a few lists at the top of the page on any device with a small screen.
Anyway, that's enough blabbering for now. Maybe I'll post something more interesting later. Or maybe I'll continue to never post anything on this blog until I redesign it. Who knows what will happen?

Tesla Model S to Have Kids! Electric Minivan, Crossover SUV, and Utility Van
Photo: Tesla Motors
Tesla Plans to Recycle its PlatformIn a blog post where they try to explain how they will use the DOE loan (and make it clear that it's unrelated to the bailout money that went to Detroit automakers), Tesla revealed that the platform of its upcoming Model S electric sedan will be used to create other electric vehicles: An electric minivan, an electric crossover, and an electric utility van for fleets. Something for everyone, it seems.

About the DOE LoanTesla explained that it would use the government money for two projects:
- the US-based production, engineering, and assembly of the Model S, an all-electric family sedan. The Model S assembly plant will employ about one thousand workers in Southern California.
- a powertrain manufacturing facility in Northern California, which will build advanced EV powertrain components for other automakers. We hope that technology will enable other manufacturers to get affordable EVs on the market much faster than developing the technology themselves. The facility will employ about 650 workers. We already sell EV components to Daimler, which will soon begin marketing an electric version of its popular and affordable Smart car.
We'll probably have to wait until the Model S is out in showrooms before getting more details about the other EVs based on it. Patience is a virtue.

For some families who live near railroad tracks, they can grow almost fond of a train's lullaby rumbles. This was never the case for us. From the day we moved in to the day we moved out, we never got used to the booming and shrilling sounds of the trains. Probably because the sounds weren't lullaby-like rumbles, rather they were heavy metal-like shrilling vocals and guitar playing. Imagine being abruptly awakened from peaceful sleep three to five times a night to a heavy metal concert blaring in your ear. Trust me, it wasn't ideal.
If you're a parent of two or more children, the sounds of sibling arguments and fighting throughout the day can be like the sounds of those trains I too frequently heard those early years of marriage. Booming, shrilling, heavy-metal type sounds that you just never get used to.
While my children do have wonderful moments of fair and cooperative playing each day (Praise the Lord!), they do argue and fight often. And so, I pray frequently to the Lord asking for His wisdom and grace as I parent through argument after argument.
Over the weekend, I spent time at a biblical counseling conference and felt the Lord speak directly to me through one of the speakers regarding this issue of sibling arguing. The speaker encouraged us to ask ourselves (or our counselees) the following question when we are smack dab in the middle of an argument (justified or not):
Which is most evident:
the disagreement or my godliness?
A compelling and thought provoking question, isn't it? I love how it challenges us to look at our arguing from an outside perspective. And I also love how it doesn't diminish the fact that sometimes arguments are necessary (as in the case of fighting for justice or truth).
As I thought about this question in regards to my kid's arguing with each other, I saw very clearly that their disagreements are usually exceedingly more evident than their godliness (even in arguments that are necessary).
So if I may, I'd like to share with you a few reflections God has given me this evening as I spent some time with Him regarding this question and issue of disagreements amongst my kids.
The definition of godliness in Scripture is simply a devotion to God. And devotion to God is defined as a wholehearted attachment and loyalty. It is saying "Yes!" to God and "No!" to our fleshly-selves as well as the world around us.
Therefore our godliness (or devotion to God), when authentic, should therefore be very evident in disagreements with others. For example, there should be evidences of the fruits of the Spirit like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
The following verse gives us more wisdom:
"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these [God's glory and goodness] he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith....godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." 2 Peter 1:3-4, 5a, 6b, 7
Here's are 4 truths that I believe this Scripture can speak to our children regarding arguing and fighting with their siblings:
1. God's power in our children (who've through faith trusted in Jesus) will give them whatever they need for life and godliness.
2. Because of God's glory and goodness they have been given the promise of a Counselor, a Spirit of truth in them and with them always.
3. This Spirit of truth will teach them all things (like how to respond to and reconcile arguing), give them peace (as they live life and play with their siblings), and give them strength to escape sin in their arguments (like pride, anger, a vindictive spirit, etc). [John 14:16-17; 26-27; Romans 8:26]
4. Thus, my kids should be making every effort to add to their faith godliness; and to godliness, a warm hearted affection called brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. The outgoing, selfless kind of love that leads one to sacrifice for the good of another (like a sibling).
Before we officially pray, I'd like to compel you to examine your own arguing. God spoke very clearly to me in my Spirit that if my children are to trust and live by what God's Word says about their arguing, then I must set an example for them in my own life when it comes to arguing. I must ask myself: Is my devotion to God more evident than my disagreements?
As my children look at my disagreements, what do they see?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with my husband?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with their teachers?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with my pastor or other believers?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with other family members?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with another driver on the road?
Do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with non-believers?
And finally, do they see my godliness when I have disagreements with them?
I've found myself humbly seeking God's forgiveness this evening because friends, I know my godliness isn't always more evident. And while I am not called to perfection, I am called to a progressive process of sanctification! And I gently and lovingly say the same is true for you. So let's hear and live out the four truths of 2 Peter 1!
It's time, let's pray for our sweet babies and their relationships with each other!
Lord Jesus,
As my children seek You, I see you revealing Yourself to them more and more. Thank you Jesus that You are a God who longs to know Your children personally. Thank You for giving them Your Spirit of truth to teach them all things for life and godliness. And so Lord today I pray that Your words in 2 Peter 1 would begin to reign true in their lives regarding sibling arguing. Would you reveal Your heart to them in their sibling relationships? Would you give them peace and the strength to escape sin as they live and play with each other. And will you help them Lord to add to their faith godliness, a wholehearted detachment and loyalty to You, that motivates them to act with brotherly kindness and selfless love toward one another.

The Department of Labor is seeking to make it easier for states to fit within the framework of ERISA in their efforts to establish state-run retirement plans, says Phyllis C. Borzi, head of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Borzi spoke at an Oct. 20 session of the 2015 ASPPA Annual Conference that addressed recent and impending government activity. Joining Borzi were Senior Advisor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Mark Iwry, newly appointed Pension and Benefit Guaranty Corporation Director Tom Reeder and Commissioner of the IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division Sunita Lough. (Read our post about Lough's comments on the discontinuance of the IRS policy of proving answers to questions via email here.)
In embracing ERISA in the effort, Borzi said, a state "in essence becomes a service provider to employers that want to participate in that plan."
"The states are moving ahead in a variety of ways," Borzi said. Many, she noted, are doing so in a way that avoids ERISA by crafting laws that are similar to the federal "MyRA" auto-IRA approach; others follow a different tack premised on the notion that if they do avoid ERISA, still they eventually will have to incorporate consumer protections.
"States want greater certainty into what they can do," Borzi said. To that end, she noted that the DOL has proposed a rule that will assist the states in designing plans and would create a new payroll deduction safe harbor, and that the rule is at the Office of Management and Budget now for its review. In addition, the DOL is preparing regulatory guidance. The DOL will be issuing guidance on state-run retirement plans "no later than year's end," she noted.
These efforts fit within the broader theme Borzi outlined. "Most particularly we're all focused on two big challenges: expanding coverage and improving adequacy," she remarked.
Status of Fiduciary Rule
Regarding the DOL's proposed fiduciary rule, Borzi said the agency is "trying desperately" to get through the comments it has received. "We actually have been working on this for five years," she commented, adding that she was not sure how the DOL could have provided more opportunity for comment on the proposal, nor how much longer the process could be prolonged.
2016 Form 5500 Filing Deadline
Borzi was affirmative when asked by ASPPA Executive Director Brian Graff whether the DOL would be open to moving the maximum available deadline for calendar year plans to file the Form 5500 back to Oct. 15 from the Nov. 15, 2016 deadline set by the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Act. She indicated that the DOL was taken by surprise to an extent by the change to a Nov. 15 deadline, remarking "we were unaware of this until after it passed. It moves in the wrong direction, we think."
PBGC Update
Reeder, the newly minted PBGC Director, reiterated commitment to his agency's mission. "We've come to the point where we have to do what we can" with plans that lack sufficient funds to cover benefits, he said, adding "at a minimum, we must secure the promises we've already made" to retirees.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
Retirement professionals are not alone in contending with recent changes concerning multi-employer pension plans — they also are one of the areas on which Treasury is spending a significant amount of time and energy, Iwry told attendees. "The exceptions to ERISA are something that imposes challenges on everyone involved," he said.
ASPPA's Contributions Lauded
Iwry thanked ASPPA for its work in expanding coverage. He said that in part due to ASPPA, Treasury has been encouraged to come out with guidance to make it easier to adopt auto enrollment and auto escalation. He added that Treasury is interested in input regarding whether its actions are helping to encourage the adoption of auto features. Borzi herself gave such features a vote of confidence, remarking that automatic features "do assist us greatly" in increasing retirement plan coverage.
Iwry also gave a "shout out to [American Retirement Association General Counsel] Craig Hoffman regarding his comments on the mid-year amendments to safe harbor 401(k) plans. And he indicated that guidance is on the way, telling attendees, "The good news is, we've been working hard, we're well along." Treasury is not ready to release guidance that would provide relief yet, but should be able to "in the near future."
Reeder and Lough also thanked ASPPA; Reeder for ASPPA's work concerning reportable events regulations and Lough on ASPPA's comments regarding the remedial amendment period. "I really want to compliment ASPPA," she said, adding that those who drafted the comments "did a great job."

Mike Shalin's Working Press: Weekend in New York was one to rememberBy MIKE SHALIN
August 14. 2017 11:04PM
Did you all enjoy your little roller coaster ride provided by the Red Sox over the weekend?
The first three of 10 between the rivals in 23 days. A span of 52 or so hours of thrills.
It started Friday night, where John Farrell took a public beating for the Yankees rallying from three runs down to score five in the eighth, only to have Eduardo Nunez run into a crucial out at third base as Aroldis Chapman melted down in the ninth. The lead was down to 3½.
Saturday, Andrew Benintendi did his best David Ortiz in the Bronx impression with a pair of three-run homers as the Red Sox routed the Yankees' best pitcher, Luis Severino.
Sunday night was, as they say about the Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all. Another one.
Another wasted Chris Sale effort because of lack of offense. Chapman's 102.8-mph fastball crushed by Rafael Devers as part of another Chapman meltdown, Farrell again getting fired by the public, and this time even forgetting the rules about changing pitchers. Addison Reed with another oh-oh — and then Benintendi doing it again.
The smoke cleared and the lead was 5½ coming home for Monday night's makeup game against the Indians, the start of what is now a six-game homestand that has the Yankees coming back in this weekend.
A 5½-game lead in mid-August should mean playoffs — even though the manager might not make it that long.
Kidding, of course.
By the way, Farrell said, "I know the rule. I messed up trying to get Craig Kimbrel into the game."
Sale-ing along
Sale drove another nail home in his Cy Young chase Sunday, but it came on the same day Corey Kluber won another game for the Indians.
Colleague Scott Lauber of ESPN.com boldly stated the following before Sale's start: "ICYMI: If Chris Sale beats the Yankees three times in next four weeks, he should be AL MVP. Story, via @espn: espn.com/blog/boston/re…"
Interesting thought. But the skinny lefty HAS been pretty special as he is on track to become the first pitcher ever to have five straight seasons of 200 strikeouts and fewer than 50 walks.
Dustin Pedroia told Fox's Ken Rosenthal he doesn't blame Manny Machado for that slide into Pedroia's left knee earlier in the season. "No, I mean I've played middle infield for a long time," he said. "You know, it's my job to hang in there on double plays, and try to be ... my job is basically around second base, so there's so many different incidents and things that have happened over my career. You know, it's baseball. One play is not the reason (why) I'm banged up."
Sunday night, we saw Devers do something very special: He hit the second home run by a lefty off Chapman, EVER, and the first in six years.
Chapman has simply not been the same since wrapping up the World Series for the Cubs last fall. He came out firing Sunday and had a powerful fastball drilled to tie the game.
Wrote John Harper of the New York Daily News:
"And now Joe Girardi has to think long and hard about whether to keep Chapman and his 3.48 ERA in the role of closer, especially when he has options like Dellin Betances, who seems to be out of his recent slump, and (David) Robertson."
Well, you'd think so, anyway.
But Girardi said, of Chapman: "He's my closer."
Every time Chapman gives it up, you can't help but think of Joe Maddon running his rental into the ground in the World Series. Column pal Joe Casale noted Maddon, "made him $86 million," but there seems to be a cost.
Second gear
Bill Belichick brought the media into the discussion when asked Monday about newcomer Brandin Cooks having "a second gear" and knowing when to turn it on.
"I think all players like that. There's an element of that to them," he said. "A guy who plays every play can play hard. But, realistically, there's another level, there's another gear at certain times, whether it be critical plays or a particular play. I'd say, in my experience, some of the good or great players have been able to identify and achieve that kind of play. Lawrence Taylor was one. He played hard. He was a tough player, one of the most competitive players I've ever coached, but every play wasn't the top play. But, every important play was."
He mentioned "guys like (Randy) Moss or (Tedy) Bruschi, (Willie) McGinest. Some of their biggest plays were at the most critical times, which is what made them great players — Troy Brown."
"Not saying Brandin does or doesn't have it," he said. "I don't think we've really been through that enough with him, but I think there's an element of that."
And the media?
"(Second gear is) kind of like you guys," he said, tongue apparently planted in cheek. "You know, you write your best stories on Sunday or whatever. Yeah, have some good ones, but then when you really need that top story, that's when you really push the pencil a little harder on the paper."
The big time
Tip of the cap to local guy Kevin McGowan (Nashua North, Franklin Pierce) for making it to the big leagues with the Mets — arriving during their game Sunday in Philadelphia. Tweeted @NHBaseball_Notes: "Huge shoutout to @kevinmcgowanjr."
And a salute to First Lieutenant Chris Rowley of the Blue Jays (and formerly the Fisher Cats), who on Saturday became the first West Point graduate to play in the major leagues. He went 5 1/3 innings in a victory. His debut was heralded by a tweet from @undersecarmy: "Great job! Chris Rowley the 1st @USArmy @WestPoint_USMA graduate 2 ever start in a @MLB game."
Regrets, I have a few
Two guys who suffered key losses to Boston teams in the past seven months are both learning to deal with their defeats and move on.
From Matt Ryan, via Sports Illustrated: "That game is always going to be a part of who I am. It's always going to drive me, but it doesn't consume me. I won't let it consume me." Class kid. He'll be back.
And John Wall, who went 0-for-11 from the floor as his Washington Wizards were eliminated by the Celtics in Game 7 of their playoff series, says, "At least I wasn't being passive."
Wall and his Wizards, no pals of the Celtics, will be at TD Garden for a Christmas Day game at 5:30.
This and that
The Rays were shut out five times in eight days at home, the first team since the 1955 Orioles to suffer that horror. … The Mets have won 17 of their last 20 series against the Phillies. … The Bruins will hit Manchester Aug. 27 at Arms Park, as part of their FanFest tour of five cities. Free admission. … Colleague Dom Amore says the retired Jim Calhoun is hinting at coaching again, at a small local school. … After prized client Bryce Harper narrowly avoided catastrophic injury slipping on a wet base, mega agent Scott Boras called for baseball to come up with some technology to avoid wet bases. … From @austinkarp: "ESPN drew 2.1 overnight rating for Yankees-Red Sox last night. Best for a non-opening-night MLB game on ESPN since 2014." … Sorry, but I just don't care who stands, kneels or sits for the national anthem. This is America. … Matt Barnes, home: 5-1, 1.55 ERA, .174 opponents BA, 0.897 WHIP, eight walks in 27 games, 29 innings; road: 1-2, 5.20 ERA, .211 OBA, 1.373 WHIP, 18 walks in 28 games, 27 2/3 innings. … New owner-to-be Derek Jeter may get rid of that ridiculous home run structure in left-center at Marlins Park. … Joey Votto since the break, via MLB Network's Brian Kenney: .500 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage.
Finally, chatted with "our Joe Morgan" the other day for book comments and here's Joe 29 years after Morgan Magic.
"It was unbelievable the way it went — with 12 straight wins, a record for an interim manager. Fred Haney had the record at 11 and I played for him in Milwaukee in 1959. It was crazy because there was cars going by my house by the numbers, all day long, saying, 'there's where he lives.' I went to the hardware store one time and the guy wouldn't take any money for a hammer I got. It was crazy. Head downtown and shopping took quite a while because everyone was talking to you, let's put it that way."

About the Richmond Division
Located in the central part of the state and along the popular I-95 corridor, Richmond is the 4th largest city in Virginia. The Greater Richmond Region includes the cities of Richmond, Petersburg, Hopewell and Colonial Heights. In the past, Ruston Paving was able to satisfy the demand for work in the Richmond area from the North out of our Manassas, Virginia division and from the South out of our Durham, North Carolina division. Ideally located halfway between these two locations and acting as one of the gateways to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Norfolk, Newport News and Virginia Beach), Richmond quickly became an obvious choice for expansion.

The Technology Student Association at Boyertown High School has been growing over the past few years. With such a large group, paying for events including the regional, state, and national conference can be on the challenging side. That being said, on Wednesday, Dec. 13, from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. the Boyertown High School TSA will be hosting its 4th annual spaghetti dinner in the high school cafeteria, with the BASH Winter Choral Concert immediately following.
The dinner is complete with all-you-can-eat spaghetti, salad, drinks, and delicious desserts. All of the proceeds will go directly towards the TSA of Boyertown Area High School. Tickets for this event are $10 each, and can also be paid by check, made out to BASH TSA. Walk-ins for the dinner are welcomed, however, you can acquire a ticket before-hand by emailing the BASH TSA advisor, Josh Pennington at <firstname.lastname@example.com>.

Due to a delay in Congressional budget decisions, specifically the Ag Appropriations bill, our beloved National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) is again in desperate need of funding help.
ATTRA supplies our nation's farmers with a central location to which they can turn for invaluable information and resources to help them in their efforts to incorporate more sustainable practices into their operations. Many small farmers depend on ATTRA to supply funding and learning opportunities, and ATTRA in turn depends on a federal grant for the means to stay up and running.
To avoid staff cuts or a further reduction in services (they are currently unable to mail their newsletter, conduct workshops, provide research services to callers, or continue their many publications), they are soliciting donations. Click here if you are able to contribute. Even just $25 will help!

[SOLVED] Cube not matching to images
Hi guys
Need a little help.
I just bought Silo 2 days ago and am starting to "play with it"
I used Hexagon a while ago but it is too unstable and there are no updates, so am going for Silo.
I have a small orientation problem, I have played around for 1/2 hour and can't get my head around it.
I am modeling a simple spaceship with images I got for the Hexagon tutorial.
I have the view-ports set up with the perspective window on the left and on the right a split screen with the top view being the Top and the bottom one being the Right. Through Youtube I have learned how to bring in images which I have done, I have a Top View image in the Top and a Side View image in the Right, they came in ok with the front of the ship to the left and the back to the right, all good.
Next I
1/ create a cube
2/ click on the cube in the "Top view-port" - the manipulator shows up with the RED axis facing the right and the Blue axis facing down.
3/ I click on the RED arrow to move the cube to the left to where I want to start modeling at the front part of the ship :
and here is where the problem is, when I move the cube in the Top view to the Left it doesn't move in the "Right view-port" (side view of the image)
But in the Top view-port when I click on the Blue arrow (which is facing down) and move it down the cube in the Right view-port then moves to the left to the front part of the ship, BUT its out of alignment in the Top View.
What am I missing, I assume it is a simple fix but I can't figure it out.
Hope this makes sense.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm...confused. Are you saying that when you move the cube in the Z direction (Blue), that it doesn't move in the Z direction in another view? If so...yeah, that's a new one for me!
What *may* be the problem is what your brain is thinking is the "Right Side". Lightwave messed with me in this regards...where the "Right" side is actually the "Left" of the model because LW isn't meaning "Right/Left" side of the model...it's meaning "Right/Left" side is the direction the camera is facing.
Ok. Basically, Silo is thinking "Right/Left" side of the CAMERA...not the object. So when you make a viewport "Left", it will be looking at the RIGHT side of the model. The "Front" of the model points in the positive direction of Z (blue). So when you are looking at a Front view, you see the model...and the left of that view is the RIGHT, and the right of that view is the LEFT.
As I said...confusing.
Workaround: Just flip your left/right image.
Hope that explanation makes some sort of sense!

Hi pming
Thanks for replying.
I think I may be confused and also I think that what I am thinking of is not possible, and I think I know why.
In Hexagon there is a dialogue box down on the right hand side that is for setting up images, it is basically 3 grids in the X Y and Z axis. You bring in the 2 images a Top one putting it on the bottom grid and the side one you put on the grid facing you, then when you bring in the cube everything is all lined up.
I either don't think I am going about this the right way or it cannot be done in Silo ( I think its the first one)
I started a new scene and set the viewports to "3 View Layout Right"
I set the top port as the TOP and the bottom port as the LEFT
I then zoomed in and using a clock as a reference I looked at the axis lines
in the TOP port the X is at 3 o/clock and the Z is at 6 o/clock
in the LEFT port the Z is at 3 o/clock and the Y is at 12 o/clock
if I change the bottom port to RIGHT the Z is now at 9 o/clock and the Y is at 12 o/clock.
So consequently when I bring in a cube the axis never going to line up.
I think the answer is: In Hexagon you only use the 2 Viewports to model - the side view and the top view.
So I started a new scene - set the viewport layout to "Vertical Split Layout" - set the left port to TOP and bought in the Top view image - then set the right port to Front and bought in the Side view image - then bought in a cube and started modelling and so far things seem ok, I am 1/2 way through the spaceship.
So maybe that is the answer.
I do have a selection question but will see if I can find it in Silo first before I ask on the forum (don't want to wear out my visit )

I have Hex (started back when it was new, v1, and owned by...Eovia? Around 2005 anyway. Sad that DAZ bought them, put out a flakey release, then pretty much mothballed it in favour of focusing on DAZ Studio. grrrrr...
Anyway, I just popped open Silo here, 4-viewed it, then added a Top, Front and 'right facing' Left images of a toy car from a modo tutorial I did a while ago from Digital Tutors. I'm not sure what's going on with your version, but everything is lining up just fine with me...
(Perspective, Top at the top, then Front, Left at the bottom).

You are welcome, Phillip. You can usually find about 4 or 5 of us that are regularly active. If you're lucky Cinnsealach (Andy Kinsella) will be around to give advice. He is one of the resident Silo masters. I should mention that the numbers in the second image correspond to the keys you would press to switch to that viewport.
Something else that might help is to create a small image similar to my X,Y,Z image on the above screenshots (bottom left) to help you remember it all. If you have an image you can place it on the screen with the Buttons Editor.
There are a couple of other points I would like to make only because I either received incorrect information or the tool in question did not feel intuitive.
One, you can quickly switch views by moving your mouse over a viewport (no need to mouse-press) and then pressing the Spacebar to maximize it. Or you can switch between a single viewport and the last multiple viewport setup you had with Spacebar. I mention this because in many of the videos I watched for Silo they mentioned mouse-clicking in the VP to be able to switch to it which is unnecessary. Nor did they mention that the last multi-viewport setup you had is what it would switch to and from.
And this second one always screws me up because it part of it seems so backwards. If you mirror an object you need to be aware of some things. First, Silo mirrors about the scene center. So if your objects is very far from this your object will be mirrored the same distance from the center but, of course, on the opposite side of the mirror axis. (If this is wrong and I have set up something incorrectly I hope the Silo community will correct me.)
The other thing about Mirror is the +/- for the axis. If you select your object the X,Y,Z axis will show up (much easier to understand with the Move command active). If you want to mirror on the X axis the -X is the direction the 'arrow' points while the +X direction is the opposite direction.
If this doesn't really make sense I can post some screenshots later. Hopefully I did not detour this thread too much.
I mentioned Andy Kinsella (Cinnsealach) before as a Silo master. He's helped me more often than I can count with his advice to others and myself. If you haven't already check out his basic tutorials linked in his forum signature.
I started a thread with some other 'tips' but it did not gain too much traction. Anyway, you can find it here: Tips and Tricks

Great quality glove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these gloves. I was searching for a commuter, around town, causal glove for the winter - these fit the bill. The only draw back is don't expect them to be super warm below around 25 degrees (F). Their more fashionable versus serious warmth.
Great glove!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
These gloves are awesome, very warm and comfortable and have plenty of room for dexterity. Would recommend to someone looking for a casual winter glove that doesn't break the bank!
Comfort at the tips of your fingers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 165lbs
I really like these gloves and they fit quite well. The wrist band area does seem to be a bit an the smallish side when initially pulling them on, but once on, they are amazing! I don't have a large wrist area, but they are tough to pull on.
Would buy them again anytime these wear out.
Worn out way too soon.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
First , I would like to say " Comfortable, warm, great grip, and just feel nice on the hand " I work with horses and do a lot of mucking , moving hay etc. , That said , they wore out after 3 weeks of every day barn chores , with holes in the finger tips . Honestly if you want to sue the as I do , Way to Priced for the product . I have a $20 pair of compatible gloves that have lasted longer . Please lower the price and I would consider buying them again .
Love um!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Comfortable, warm, great grip, and just feel nice on the hand. I love wearing them, and I wouldn't say I am a glove snob. I mostly use them as an everyday glove here in the Midwest winter, but have also shoveled a couple times in them. After about 30 minutes outside in below 15 (F), I was wishing I had a much larger glove. I tried the backcountry.com Wasatch and these are not as bulky, exactly what I was looking for.
very nice
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This is a great pair of gloves. They fit true to size and are very comfortable and warm. I highly recommend them.
My Brother loved em!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
So I bought these for my brother for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure it was a hit! This is what he had to say about them:
"Aiight, on the real, these gloves are the bomb. I'm from California (which is to say I'm a wimp) and I needed some weather-resistant joints for my trip to NYC. Trying to keep these digits nice and toasty so I can shake hands with any fly females I meet along the way, nahmsayin? Alright, anyway, not only did these fit like a glove (get it?), but they were mighty effective. They looked at that nasty northeastern blizzard nonsense and it wasn't even a big deal. They're not bulky, so my fingers were able to stay mad nimble when counting out that cash money for the street vendors and whatnot. If you're looking for dope, cold weather gloves for under 100 bones, peep these joints right here!"
Hahah, so funny. I loved the endorsement. Bought some for my wife.
how do these compare for warmth with...
how do these compare for warmth with ordinary wool gloves?
The SmartWool Ridgeway Glove will be better than straight wool gloves in most circumstances for a couple reasons: 1) they have a merino wool inner that will be more comfortable on the hand than scratchy straight wool, 2) their leather shell will be more water resistant and wind resistant which will translate to increased warmth, and 3) they will be a more durable glove in the long run. Wool gloves are good, bu they don't protect your hands very well from the elements (wind and rain) which is a big part of what makes us cold.
Are these waterproof?
Are these waterproof?
These gloves are not completely waterproof.

The L.A. Region is comprised of the following five Red Cross chapters: Northern Valleys, Greater Long Beach, Greater Los Angeles, San Gabriel Pomona Valley and Santa Monica Bay.
Information on how to contact us for disaster assistance, health and safety training, and more.
The Greater Los Angeles Chapter has a long and proud history of providing comfort and relief to those in need.
Great institutions, it has been said, are often born in humble circumstances, sometimes in the pain of conflict and adversity. Destiny provided these elements for the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Its beginning was a humble one, forged against the backdrop of a world at war. Supporting our nation in World War I was the first of the chapter's activities. Through the years, the programs and services have increased to meet the emerging needs of a growing and diverse Southern California community.
Among the many services provided by the chapter over the years have been: disaster preparedness and relief; establishment of blood and tissue collection programs and a marrow donor recruitment program; first aid/CPR and water safety training programs; health services and health education; international tracing; assistance for members of the military and their families; and many more.
Primary among the many services has been the chapter's response to aid those affected by disasters, large and small. From the largest, the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, to the smallest, residential fires that occur daily, the chapter's disaster workers have always been there to provide emergency assistance.
The Red Cross Los Angeles Chapter consolidated with other chapters around the Los Angeles area in 2010 to form the Red Cross Los Angeles Region.
Historic Timeline
Established in 1916, the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles began operating from its first headquarters on South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. Volunteers immediately plunged into WWI relief and recovery activities until the 1930s, when its growth began to slow. Then along came WWII, and the chapter began serving at home and abroad with 15,000 new volunteers.
Wartime activities continued until after the end of WWII, then the chapter concentrated on building the blood donation program established during the war. As the 1950s began, volunteers turned to providing other services, such as first aid, water safety, nursing and health, youth leadership training and continued services for military families.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the chapter responded to the Vietnam War, helping families communicate with their loved ones in the military and providing assistance. The Fall of Saigon in 1975 resulted in the chapter becoming heavily involved in refugee assistance, while continuing to support the regular activities and responding to the 1971 San Fernando Valley Earthquake.
Because Southern California is such a disaster-prone area, a week-long disaster training institute was established to increase the number of volunteers who could assist. They were kept busy responding to single family and apartment fires on an almost daily basis as well as the 1987 Southern California Earthquake and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. At this time, the chapter became heavily involved in international disasters such as the Ethiopian Famine in 1984.
With the coming of the new century, the chapter again entered a wartime mode to support troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families. Volunteers rushed to aid victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the Southeast Asian Earthquake and Tsunami. At home, they were called to devastating wildfires that left hundreds homeless and in need of the caring assistance of the American Red Cross.

County, hazing case defendant reach plea agreement
BLACKFOOT — The Bingham County Prosecutor's Office said they have reached a plea agreement in the case regarding Nathan Walker, one of five former Blackfoot High School athletes charged with various misdemeanor offenses.
Walker was charged with one county of principal to battery and five charges of principal to false imprisonment, all misdemeanor charges. The charges were amended last week to identify Walker as principal in all the charges.
Walker's trial was scheduled to begin this morning. In an e-mail Monday, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Randy Smith said they had reached a plea agreement, but said he would not reveal details because the cases involving the two additional defendants are still pending trial. No date has been scheduled for sentencing.
Logan Chidester, who is charged with eight misdemeanors—two counts of battery and six counts of false imprisonment, is scheduled to begin trial March 22.
Anthony Clarke is charged with two misdemeanor counts of principal to battery and three charges of misdemeanor principal to false imprisonment. His trial is scheduled for May.
All defendants face various misdemeanor charges stemming from incidents that occurred during the 2009-2010 basketball season at Blackfoot High School.
In December, a fourth defendant—Tyson Katseanes—pleaded guilty to one count of principal to battery. Magistrate Judge Charles Roos sentenced Katseanes to a suspended sentence of 30 days in jail but ordered him to spend one overnight stay in the Bingham County jail. Katseanes was also sentenced to six months probation, 40 hours of community service and must pay court costs and a $100 fine.
The fifth defendant, a juvenile, was acquitted of all charges last month by Roos following a juvenile evidentiary hearing in which Roos found there was not enough evidence to charge the juvenile.

Back in December in the case of Grainger Plc v Nicholson BAILII: [2009] UKEAT 0219_09_0311 the Employment Appeals Tribunal decided that belief in Man Made Climate Change could classify as a "philosophical belief" for the purpose of the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003
At the time I blogged that I was looking forward to reading the judgment once the case went before an Employment Tribunal because I thought Mr Nicholson would have difficulty winning his case on the facts.
Anyway I have now been deprived of that pleasure since Mr Nicholson has apparently settled his case before the Tribunal case was heard. According to the BBC the company decided it was cheaper to settle rather than spend their money on a ten day Tribunal case. Sad really because I think they would have won

Wow! Awesome. The first weekend we had this installed, it proved its usefulness. Terrific options for when/where you want the chat window to pop up so as not to drive your customers away, but help them when they may be "on the fence" or need assistance (like that all-important check out page.) Also, options for personalized messages, design, etc. The accompanying app is totally rad! Need to step away from your computer? No problem. Chat from your phone! As a former customer care professional... I love it. Well done, Chatra. Well done!
Very impressed by how effective this app is! Lots of my customers are using it to get in touch with a "quick question" that may not have otherwise been emailed. It creates a more personal exchange, and I feel not only are more browsers becoming buyers, but they are happier with the service and will become repeat customers. Very happy that I installed this app and I do not hesitate to recommend it or the team behind it. Excellent customer service and help if you need it.
I've been using Chatra for about two weeks now and I'm very impressed! The live chat allows our customers to get in touch instantly with questions and feedback! Chatra even lets us create automated messages based on certain conditions — ex. a customer that has been stuck on the checkout page for over 2 minutes will be asked if they need live assistance. It's a great app and is packed with features! Easy to use and integrates well with the Mac desktop application. Highly recommend!
I've been using the Chatra app for about a month and I've been incredibly impressed. Chatra is helping me punch above my weight in sales and marketing by engaging website visitors in a whole new way. I would recommend Chatra to anyone who is interested in taking their online presence to a new level with chat functionality.
Absolutely amazing app that looks beautiful on your site and is easy to set up. Within 12 hours of installation, I had a customer chat that turned into a conversion. The Chatra customer service is excellent and their desktop app simplifies your availability. I'll be a customer for life!
Free as long as you wish, no credit card required.

PILGRIM is defined as someone who travels to a holy place to search for the meaning of life and faith. In our context, we are indeed pilgrims in our way to soul searching.
Last August 28-31, we went to Lucban Quezon, a three-hour drive away from Metro Manila to visit our friend Jervie de Guzman, a former seminarian and now a successful businessman. Also, it is a time for us to relax and reflect from very tiring months.
As a school instructor, we live in an arena wherein we train our students to be competent individuals and make them nation builders by sharpening their minds, giving them weapon to combat the challenges in life.
Literally, it is a battle between ignorance and knowledge. As we go along in our journey to Lucban, we reflect on the things that we met. Those things deepened our faith and changed our perceptions in life.
So here are the things that we reflect on our way to Lucban.
* Delayed flight
Before we leave Iloilo, we met one of the things that really irritated the travelers -- flight delay.
Hearing the announcement from a person in authority seemed like hearing a politician's promises. Lots of passengers got irritated, while others curse the receptionist. Some of us slept and watched the basketball game on TV.
Reflections: Flight delays are not new to us and I think it is normal to get upset in that event. Charles Swindoll reminded me of something that I carry every time there's an event that will trigger your negative reaction. He said, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it."
Really, we sometimes tend to forget who we are and what we are when those things happen. We cannot control the things that will happen along the way; we cannot blame the receptionist that announced the flight delays and we cannot blame God if this thing happened to us.
Let us think rationally. It really pays off if we rationalize because the more we blame, the more the situation becomes worse and others will look at us as uneducated. Patience is really out of the context nowadays. What really caught my attention is the old man who smiles at the receptionist not because of the receptionist's pretty face but because he understands that those things happened beyond their control and if all of us have that mindset, "what a wonderful world," just like what Louis Armstrong said in his song.
* Zigzag road
After a five-hour flight delay, we took a ride and went straight to Lucban. We met a zigzag road that led us to Lucban. It's a quite difficult road to drive especially for the new ones but for the expert, it's easy as ABC.
Reflections: Zigzag road is similar to our lives -- full of obstacles or hurdles. There are some changes in your plans and the more you encounter those obstacles, the more you become stronger to face the challenges in your life. Life doesn't make sense if we can't face those obstacles. You cannot call it life if you try to evade those hurdles that block your way. Those hurdles measure your strength as a person and the more you face it, the more you become stronger than you think. So the next time you see those zigzag roads, always keep in mind that "this too shall pass."
* Mt. Banahaw
The first thing that comes into our mind upon entering Majayjay is the Mt. Banahaw, a 7, 119ft above mean sea level that is considered the holy mountain and popular among the pilgrims and mountain climbers. It really gives you an impression of the majestic creation of God. The mountain gives you an impression that we are lucky to have these landforms because we are blessed by the gift of nature. The mountain offers spiritual and serene ambiance, giving you time to reflect and meditate.
Reflections: Mountains are often associated by the word "problem" because upon seeing it, we sometimes tend to think that we cannot overcome it. Let us think in a positive way -- that mountains in our life are a challenge that we must overcome. It is conquering the Goliath that crosses our way. Climbing the mountain implies hard work and learning new skill.
I still remember how the Iloilo, once known as the simple city, became one of the most livable cities in the Philippines because of its innovations and dynamic improvement in terms of business and facilities. No doubt that the city administrators and the government of Iloilo City overcome the challenges that hinder their way to progress and now, they dubbed it as "tiger economy." Thanks to the leadership of Hon. Jed Patrick Mabilog and Sen. Franklin Drilon and also other city administrators who catapult the city from simple city to a progressive city.
* Kamay ni Hesus Shrine
One of our brothers, Jervie de Guzman, toured us in Kamay ni Hesus shrine in Lucban, Quezon. It is also a popular pilgrimage site for the devotee and a popular Holy Week destination. Healing mass is also conducted at the chapel. One of the main attractions in the shrine is the 305 steps before you reach the 50-foot statue of the Ascending Christ. The image of ascending Christ welcomes you to his arms, embracing the sinners and the lost one into his loving arms.
Reflections: We tend to forget to thank our Lord in every great moment we have and we always remember him in times of our troubles. During that time, one of our brothers is in his soul searching journey and he keeps on asking himself, why those things happened to me? Why is it that I can't go to my next destination? Bro. Jervie answered him: "Kaya ka nagkaganyan kasi may isang bagay ka pa na kailangang ayusin at ang Diyos ay tutulong sa iyo para ayusin ang mga bagay na sasagabal sa daan mo (Those things happened to you because God wants you to fix those certain issues in your life. He is there to guide you)."
God never abandon his children. Every time we encounter some problems in our way, always remember to pray. We may not receive the exact answer but that answer is best for us. Let us have humility in our hearts, humility that will bring us in peace and into his arms.
Wherever we go, we always leave a mark in that place and that place leaves a mark in our hearts. The mark that is embedded in our hearts signifies the place that gave us a lesson to learn, an experience to remember and a challenge that we face after we leave. Every journey teaches us a lesson, which will help us to be strong and wise with hope in our hearts. (Sensei M. Adorador)

Secret Scripting
Can you write your friend a secret note, one that no one but the two of you can read? Chemistry can help! In this chapter, you learned that some compounds and solutions are colored, while others are clear. In this activity, you and an adult family member will make two different solutions. One is an invisible ink, and the other makes the ink visible!
- iodine
- water
- cornstarch
- small saucepan
- stove
- toothpick, cotton swab, small sponge, or paintbrush
- paper
Make sure you have an adult family member help you. Start by adding 1 teaspoon iodine to about 10 teaspoons water. Set the mixture aside. Next, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 4 teaspoons water in a small pan. Heat the cornstarch mixture in the pan on the stove, stirring until the mixture is smooth. (It is okay to boil the mixture, but be careful not to burn it!) Remove the mixture from the heat. This is your "ink." Dip a toothpick, small paintbrush, or cotton swab into it and use it to write your message on paper. Let the paper air-dry. Does the paper look blank? Brush a cotton swab, small sponge, or paintbrush dipped in the iodine solution over the paper. The secret message should appear!
Why do you think you needed to use such exact measurements for each of the compounds used in the solution? Which of the ingredients used in this experiment was a pure element? Which were compounds? Why do you think the mixture of compounds needed to be heated in order for the experiment to work?

Warning: For serious hockey players ONLY. Continue reading only if you want to up your game to that of a top prospect.
These are the low points in the game of hockey. And I'm guessing you've experienced at least one if not more of these unfortunate situations.
I'd have to say for an athlete losing and being injured are probably the two worst things to go through.
There is something you can do about this. You can control your destiny. There is a way to ensure your training leads to on ice performance.
A few years ago I was approached by a junior level hockey player for some help with his off-season training.
Now this wasn't a player that was lacking in size or talent. He had always been a goal scorer coming up through the various levels of hockey. And he had a great mix of size to dominant another player physically yet could still keep pace with the quickest guys out there.
So you could say he was on this way to making it to the pros and living out his dream of playing in the NHL.
Just like working with a championship thoroughbred, a trainer can sometimes do more harm than good with athletes that are already at the top level and on their way.
HE did all the work. HE put in the sacrifices. HE was the one that was on time for every session and did everything exactly the way I asked him to. HE...Read More detail

When Sy Johnson, a jazz pianist and arranger, used to visit Charles Mingus at his apartment in the East Village in the 1960s, there was always a pot of soup on the stove, and Mingus—a gourmand who once interrupted a concert to eat a steak dinner on the bandstand—was constantly tasting it. "He would say—'Needs another carrot.'" He would chop another carrot and taste it again, only to decide it needed an onion. The pot might simmer for a month before Mingus was satisfied with the seasoning. As Johnson tells John Goodman in Mingus Speaks, a book of interviews with Mingus and friends conducted in the early 1970s, Mingus's music was a lot like his soup: a "huge cauldron of sounds" that was "always in a state of becoming something."
Mingus rarely left his pieces alone when he took them on the road with his Jazz Workshop, as he began calling his bands in the mid-1950s. When the Workshop played "Fables of Faubus," a dart of sarcasm aimed at Arkansas's segregationist governor Orval Faubus, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the jaunty eight-minute tune swelled into a half-hour suite, punctuated by tart allusions to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "God Bless America" and a bass clarinet solo of blistering intensity by Eric Dolphy. (The performance is one of five concerts included in The Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964–65, a seven-disc boxed set on Mosaic Records.) In the studio, Mingus was always splicing, dicing and overdubbing, enriching the texture of his music, increasing its density. He tinkered with titles, giving old pieces new and sometimes cryptic names: the tender portrait of a woman he loved, "Nouroog," reappeared after their breakup as "I X Love"; "Better Get It in Your Soul," a foot-stomping gospel tune that's still played on jukeboxes, became "Better Get Hit in Yo' Soul," a message to junkies that they'd be better off with a boost from the Lord than one from the needle.
Mingus was always true to his ever-changing moods: he wanted to create music that, in his words, was "as varied as my feelings are, or the world is." For sheer range of expression, his work has few equals in postwar American music: furious and tender, joyous and melancholy, grave and mischievous, ecstatic and introspective. It moves from the rapture of the church to the euphoria of the ballroom, from accusation to seduction, from a whisper to a growl, often by way of startling jump cuts and sudden changes in tempo. Vocal metaphors are irresistible when discussing Mingus. As Whitney Balliett remarked, music for him was "another way of talking."
Though he wrote only a few songs with lyrics, his compositions—and his own bass playing, which revealed new dimensions of the instrument and helped liberate it from its traditional time-keeping role—were supremely vocal. He collaborated with poets in East Village coffeehouses and never hesitated to call out to his sidemen when the spirit caught him, as if he was leading a gospel choir. Each instrument in a Mingus tune evoked the voice, invariably in conversation with other voices; and each voice was an extension of his famously tempestuous personality. ("We don't need a vocalist," he told the trombonist Britt Woodman. "This band can have an argument with instruments.") Philip Larkin was astonished by "how every Mingus band sounds like a great rabble of players, like some trick of Shakespearian production." No matter how small the ensemble, he could create a sense of passionate, often combative dialogue: as one of his sidemen put it, Mingus "liked the sound of a struggle." If his Workshop settled into a groove, he would suddenly change the time signature: he didn't want anyone to get too comfortable. Struggle—against complacency, against the confinements of race and genre, against the record industry and the American government—inspired him; he depended on it to create. Though he dreamed of finding refuge on some "colorless island," it wasn't clear how he'd spend his time there. He needed something to fight against; his anger, in Geoff Dyer's words, was "a form of energy, part of the fire sweeping through him."
