Reference

Welcome to the Reference page. This is a blog. You cannot just go to a blog and expect to read what you are looking for on the first page. You could do a search, but that is a hit-or-miss scenario. So here's a nice, long page that reads like a Table of Contents, Index, and several Appendices all rolled into one. Enjoy
