Broke both the ulnar and radial bones (forearm) right before the wrist. one of those broken ends shattered to smithereens. Fortunately the wrist joint itself was intact. A 20 min surgery took over an hr, and he just couldn't perfectly align one of bones. he hopes I can get up to75% usage back, but he did tell me I would be able to type again. Whew, cause that's my job (medical transcription).
I'm on medical leave and short term disability will kick in after 30 days, which will put me at approximately 50% of my income then. I will have 1 more paycheck, depleting all PDO (paid days off), then who knows.
there r some positives too. I've been needing time off due to emotional stressors, and now I have it. Also, I googled surgeon when I got home cuz typically avoid closest hosp, but he was super nice and his info on line looked impressive! How he ended up in Cleveland, IDK. he even called me today to check on me. A competent surgeon was an answer to prayer.
Also, I have totally lost my appetite and my sweet tooth!! Sweet tooth was biggest downfall. Going to plan simple but hi nutrition to promote bone growth. I need those shattered pieces to fuse together.
I'm currently on Percocet for pain control and quickly learning how to get by 1 handed. I'm left handed, which is also a blessing. I have a wonderful neighbor who kept my dog overnight and also brought me home from hospital. My church fam is like a second family to me, and already someone dropped off some fruit. I got my hair cut shorter cuz I knew washing/styling would be hard, and hair dresser would not take a penny. She also waxed eyebrows and upper lip, LOL.
As for bills, that's so far beyond what I can figure out, that God will have to keep showing me the way. ive had a lot of good advice tho and will be making more phone calls on Monday.
That's the latest! Thanks for listening. Tired of pecking at keyboard now.

Baby steps, to a healthy lifestyle change. When you change your thoughts you will then change your weight. Getting healthy is about progress, not perfection.

I don't suppose you carried AFLAC or any other back up insurance , did you? If so, hit them up for medical bill repayment. I had them when I had my big accident back in 2005 and they paid me , in a check directly to me, for everything I went through. Even though I didn't pay anything out of pocket, because of auto insurance and partial med insurance through my employer, they pay you for what your body goes through. I had a $5000 helicopter ride to a larger hospital that was completely paid for , but I got money for just because I had AFLAC and all the tests and images and crap, all that I got some payment for. It was a Godsend to get that money before my auto insurance started kicking in from work loss.
Michael picked it up here at his job a couple of years ago when it was offered, because I insisted. Now with these suspicious moles and his health situation, I think we are going to be glad he did get into it.
If not, check your homeowners insurance. It may help cover your fall and work loss. Or if you rent, check with the owner of the property as any fall on another's property would be covered by their insurance.
hope some of these ideas help.
hang tough, love

Personally, I can't wear wool or angora or any other type of "hair" , it just bugs hell out of me and makes me itch like nothing else.
If you decide to wrap , let me know and I'll ship it ASAP , lol

took a shower yesterday, which felt great. used a plastic bag and rubber band, which was easier than I thot it would be and kept splint/cast dry. really cant style hair much, so, however it dries, oh, well.
headed to store today I think. a friend dropped off some fruit Fri. maybe I mentioned that already. that was much appreciated. picking up soy milk and lentils, spinach, veggies for soup and salads. I boiled some eggs and going to make egg salad. oh, and I have a can of almonds already. friend also brought a bag of prunes cuz Im on a narcotic. Proud to say plumbing is working, ha. Going to get some blueberries today for antioxidant and will have tomato base for soup.
if anyone wants to suggest any other super food I should get to promote healing, feel free. keeping it mostly vegetarian. Soy, tofu, lentils and other beans will cover protein and the eggs...also taking a multivitamin and am getting some mag citrate too. that will not only be good for bones but will help keep me regular, too.
Tired of typing. everyone be good!
Have a lot to do, and simple things are now energy-zapping tasks. I was near tears today after just doing a few things. That, and I had forgotten to eat today, which never happens! Guess I'm just focused on how to do nearly everything and it is draining.
I was buying ingredients today for a veggie soup, and I wanted specific things but had to keep stopping and wondering how will I peel that or open this, and I let it get to me. That's when I realized I will have to ask for help in preparing it unless I buy the expensive pre-cut stuff. Sigh. When I talked about it with my neighbor, she was insisting on making me some soup for me and bringing it over. I tried to tell her that I wanted to use specific ingredients, like lentils, spinach, diced tomatoes, etc. She finally relented and said she just uses canned corn, potatoes, celery and the like. So she said she would be happy to help with my soup.
She wants to be helpful, and I was so grateful when she kept Jack, my dog, for me when I went to the hospital, but this exchange is very typical. She always has a different idea, and its difficult not to end up offending her when I don't want to use her idea. She is super sensitive. I have never once had her simply listen to what I wanted to do and accept it, wish me luck or whatever. I end up thinking I must not have one intelligent thought in my head. I think this time is a win-win, tho. She wants to help and can, and I will get my soup, ha.
And Wal-Mart always makes me sweat, so now my arm itches like crazy under the splint. Doc said to keep splint clean and dry, but what about when I sweat? I sure don't want that incision under there to get infected.
I think I'm going to start making lists of the things I need and want to do to take advantage of this "vacation" I suddenly have. Today I was floundering a bit because it felt weird not clocking in today.
Thanks for listening.
At this point, you have a neighbor who wants to help. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, lol. Bite your tongue about her "suggestions" if she has any and make good use of her hands.
If you don't want her breathing down your back when you put your soup together, can you sack up everything you need and take it to her place? Have her peel and chop a whole bag of onions, one of carrots, potatoes, etc. , and open all the cans of stuff you'll be needing for awhile (don't forget to par cook your potatoes before freezing so they don't turn black). Put everything into into zipper seal freezer bags and bring em home. throw what you don't use now into the fridge or freezer for quick and easy throw together meals.
Offer a couple of bowls of your soup in return (or something). This way you can get enough done for at least a week or two and you won't constantly have to deal with her.

WOW you're really a trooper! I think Kim has excellent advice.
Hope You heal quick and less painful. You could take a blow dryer on cool and blow down the cast to dry you out.
also sometimes they put a roll of cotton at the top to elleviate things getting wet.
We've done this with me when I had a cast from a surgery to hand and had to keep it dry.
Best to you

As you may know the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy was horrendous. This storm destroyed homes, businesses and changed so many lives. It is going to take a long time to repair and rebuild.
I was born and raised on the East Coast; born in Stony Brook, Long Island. I spent my entire childhood on the shores and waters of Long Island, and Connecticut. What most people don't understand is how connected people are to these places. Growing up in Long Island I would always be fishing with my family on the Long Island Sound, and walking around the docks at Port Jefferson. After seeing the photographs from the damage done by Sandy to the shores of Long Island, New Jersey and NYC it was breathtaking. Knowing that there are so many people just like myself who grew up spending their time on these shores who are heartbroken by the damage, I want to give back and help give back.
Since I had just moved back to the East Coast from Chicago, IL a few days before the Hurricane as a chef I feel responsible to give back to the community. My chef du cuisine Chef Aaron Lhamon got to talking and thought what better way to give back, than by bringing our unique and fine dining style of cooking to Connecticut.
This dinner will be December 10th, 2012 in Milford at Costa Azzurra. The menu is an 8 course preset tasting menu featuring farm to table seasonal items, prepared using modern and classical techniques. Cost of the dinner will be $125 per person. This includes all food and beverage. As well as the dinner there will be a silent auction taking place.
Some of our sponsors for the dinner and auction include, Polyscience, Hudson Valley Foie Gras, Snake River Farms, Secchiaroli Farm, Shun Knives, Korin, Hudson Whiskey, Tuthilltown Spirits, Chef Revival and Eden Farms.

Ada —
An Ada man who refused to take any of the tests designed to measure alcohol content in the human blood stream, wound up in Pontotoc County Justice Center, just the same.
Nicholas Young, 24, was arrested Jan. 5 for suspicion of driving under the influence (refusal) by Ada Police Officer Brian Engel.
A female, who was a passenger in the car driven by Young, was not charged, even though she took the field test and registered 0.16. She wasn't driving and a friend agreed to let her stay at the home where Engel had pulled them over — in the 500 block of South Turner — where the two had gone to visit a friend.

Creating a Healthy Kitchen: Guide to Natural Cookware
01.25.12 Creating a Healthy Kitchen: Guide to Natural Cookware
By now, it's likely you've heard of the harmful effects of PTFE or PFOA (chemicals used for making Teflon). We've talked about it a lot here at MightyNest. In case you're new to this discussion, PTFE is used to coat non-stick surfaces (metal pans, which are often aluminum) During manufacturing, PFOA (perflourooctanoic acid) is used to bond PTFE to the pan making it non-stick. The EPA has designated PFOA as a "likely carcinogen" and has even asked cookware manufacturers to phase out PFOA by 2015.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), "The chemical PFOA pollutes over 95% of Americans' blood, including all 10 newborns surveyed in a study EWG commissioned in 2007. PFOA never breaks down in the environment, so every molecule of it produced since the 1950s or earlier will forever be in our air, water and bodies. In animals, PFOA causes cancer, birth defects and other health problems".
This is a topic we find ourselves often discussing with friends and family because it is both a common change that people are looking to make and a highly important one for better health. We cook everyday, so cooking with an unsafe material can take its collective toll.
So you're ready to replace your non-stick pans with a healthy and safe alternative, but you wonder which material is right for your needs? We've broken down the 3 safe choices: ceramic, cast iron and stainless steel to better help you decide which one(s) will benefit you. To note, all of the cookware at MightyNest is designed for healthy cooking, but the different features of each material are what stand them apart.
Ceramic, cast iron and stainless steel are all cooking surfaces that contain no harmful coating and produce no harmful PFOA gas. So, you're covered there.
- No trace metals or chemicals leach from the cooking surface of our healthy cookware. If you like to cook without oil or butter, this is a good choice.
- Far-infrared cooking technology: cooks foods from both the inside and outside at the same time.
- Does not retain odors, bacteria or tastes.
- High Temperature cooking: can withstand extreme temperature differences without cracking.
- Versatile: Use on stove-top, in the oven and broiler, even on the barbeque.
- Easy to clean: non-scratch, non-toxic ceramic glaze surface. Because Xtrema is non-porous, you don't have to worry about scratching or pitting.
Bottom line: We love cooking with xtrema cookware. The lightweight skillet is an easy go-to pan for everyday cooking. Cons: Ceramic cookware can break. Even though it's very durable, it's still fired clay--not the paper-thin-porcelain-vase type, but yes, it can break. And it is more of an investment--a good one though.
- Cast iron is well known for its even heating, heat retention, durability and value.
- Finished with a layer of soy-based vegetable oil has been evenly applied to all surfaces of cast iron cookware, then baked-on at extremely high temperatures to deeply penetrate the surface.
- Every time you cook in your pan, it continues to become seasoned more and more, while helping to prevent rust and creating a permanent, natural nonstick surface.
- Cast iron is durable enough to be passed on for generations.
- Lodge Logic cast iron cookware in made in America.
- Tri-ply construction of high grade 18/10 stainless steel sandwiched around an aluminum core.
- Helps cook foods faster and retains heat better
- Even cooking with few hot spots
- Heats up foods faster and uses less energy
- Doesn't react with acidic foods
- Durable and long lasting: expect 25 years of use
- Dishwasher safe
- Foods don't stick with use of oil

OPP: Living With The Other Woman
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jun 18 2012 4:53PM
Today's OPP comes from Ben...
My life is spiraling out of control! My wife and I split up after she caught me kissing another woman. It meant nothing. We were all at a party and I was drunk. She still threw me out. I had nowhere to go, so I contacted the other woman and she is letting me stay with her. I only wanted a place to stay, but now, she's made it clear that sex is part of the deal. She is a lot older than me. I still love my wife and would do anything to get her back. I told her ' the kiss' wasn't cheating because I was drunk and the woman cornered me in the bathroom and shut the door. I was helpless. You must know what I'm talking about. I'm sure you've been there. What do I do?
Slacker thinks this OPP is going to be more about yelling at a dud who is making bad decisions. He wants to know what this guy is thinking!! Call a buddy or go to the YMCA! Don't call the woman involved! There are a million other places you can go. Slacker has had this situation happen to him, but he's assessed it based on his relationship status. It's either been NO! or no? Put your hand in front of your face. Put your hand in front of HER face. Exit the bathroom. Something! That said, he thinks Ben is an idiot! There are at least eight levels of this OPP. You can call and yell about any one of them. Can you use alcohol as an excuse to kiss someone? Slacker thinks you can, maybe…Slacker apologizes to Ben, but if you claim to be in love with your wife, be a man! Slacker seems to believe Ben is trying to be a victim in this case. Every other sentence sounds like Ben is being victimized.
Steve thinks Ben is done. He thinks Ben kind of wanted it to be over. He's totally trying to play victim!
Have you ever been cornered by someone trying to kiss you? What did you do?
I have been trapped by a co-worker in a service elevator! She tried to lay one on me and I couldn't get out fast enough! She also tried to catch me in a walk-in cooler once. Eventually, she quit the job she had and I didn't have to sweat it anymore. Why not just ask me to go have a drink? There was an exhibitionist inside that particular woman, I'm sure of it! I found it to be flattering, but there's a time and place for everything…
Peace, Love and Good Happiness Stuff! – Ray the Intern

WILLOUGHBY — John M. "Tennessee" Wintle, age 83, went peacefully home to be with his Lord and Savior, surrounded by his loving family on Monday, Dec. 17, 2012.
Born on Aug. 27, 1929, in Cleveland, Ohio, he graduated from East Tech High School. As a young man he enjoyed and excelled in track, medaling in the 440 and 880. He was a patriotic man who loved his country. A Veteran, he served during the Korean War and was honorably discharged from the Army in May of 1957.
John was a firefighter for the City of Euclid for many years and also a brakeman for Conrail Railroad retiring in 1994.
He loved Indy car racing, attending the Indianapolis 500 yearly and he loved to cheer on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Most of all he loved the Lord. He loved his family with a full heart and he will be forever missed.
Loving husband of 14 years to Marilyn (Boyer); dearly beloved and cherished dad to his daughters, Kim, Tracy (Tom) Latcovich and Ann Gayer; loving grandpa to Jessica Gayer; loving stepdad to Angela (Lonnie) Mead, Kim (Steve) Hawkins and Don (Kathy) Abrams; eight step-grandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren; uncle and great-uncle to many.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Katherine Wintle; beloved wife, Ileen (Schmelz); and brother, Charles Richard Wintle.
Funeral Services are Thursday, Dec. 20th, at 11:30 a.m. at BRICKMAN BROS. FUNERAL HOME, 37433 Euclid Ave., Willoughby, where family will receive friends Thursday Morning from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Interment at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, on Friday.

Hockey season is over in Chicago (one tear) and Carlos Zambrano apparently forgot to take his meds. Yet in all that excitement I somehow found the time for this update.
I just wanted to pass along to you, faithful FBSers, that so far, through the site's gmail account, we have won and/or been offered a share of:
1. $8,500,000 from the Sudanese Cinderella
2. $500,000 in a "Confirmable BankDraft" from the "FedEx Courier Company" in London, England
3. £500,000 (approx. $800,000) through a "Google Online Promotion"
4. £1,000,000 ($1,600,000) through a sweepstakes from "British Telecom Plc"
And here I thought I was going to have to work for a living.
In more serious news, we picked up a 2010 commit at defensive end, definitely a needs position, in Jerome Lewis out of Rochester, NY. Lewis is tall (6'4"), quick (4.75 40), and scrawny (225 lbs.). With proper Gentrification Lewis has the potential to be a lethal player, provided he can retain his quickness. Lewis is also the first commit VT has gotten out of the Empire State in quite some time. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe Andre Davis was our last.
In other news, season tickets are sold out again for the 10th consecutive year. Unless, of course, you want to pay around $1800 a seat - $300 per game - in which case be my guest. Also, if you want to completely destroy the Lane Stadium experience, you can shell out about $2300 to sit inside. I am, however, very interested to see what exactly is entailed by "high-end concessions." Because nothing compliments that $9 smoked turkey leg like foie gras and Beluga.
Finally, I did want to pass along one thing that brought a smile to my face. Mike Huguenin, college sports editor at Rivals, wrote an article for Yahoo! sports on 2009 "statement" games, in which he lists the top eight games of the season that have huge implications for each team. VT/Bama ranks in at the no. 2 spot (again, USC at Ohio State edges out the Kickoff Classic for reasons man may never know). Huguenin then goes on to list 10 "honorable mention" games. Edge of your seat thrillrides like Western Michigan at Indiana and Virginia at Southern Miss make the latter list, which Nebraska at VT does not. So I wrote Mr. Huguenin a polite email from our gmail account explaining my point of view that the Huskers at Lane has more "statement" potential than the Cavs at So. Miss. (Wow, that comes across as sarcastic even when I read it. Seriously, I was very nice.)
Imagine my surprise when the top dog at Rivals writes a personal reply:
Thanks for writing. (and interesting e-mail address.)
I put Virginia-southern miss on there because I think southern miss has better-than-even chance of winning – and a c-usa school beating an acc school (even one that likely will be predicted to finish last in its division) is big. I didn't put tech-nebraska because I don't think huskers can win in Blacksburg; if game were in Lincoln, it would've been on there.
Mr. Huguenin, you can justify not putting any of VT's games on this list by saying the opponent doesn't have a shot at winning.

New Castle News
New Castle school board members are waiting for the final determinations of a state audit that contained three preliminary findings.
Earlier this month the board publicly discussed those findings from the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, and the district administration has responded to two of them to the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General.
The third, which remains unanswered, addresses a total of $103,808 that the district should have collected in tuition from students the state identified as non-district residents during those years.
President David DiGiammarino said the board is considering policy that will require students registering to present specific documents such as income tax statements to verify where they live.
He said the state has not provided the names of the students who did not pay.
Board member Barbara Razzano said she had given names of suspected students to the administration. She said she does not know if they are the same ones that prompted the audit finding.
Representatives of the auditor general briefed the board and administration about the findings at a private exit conference in October.
Business manager Joe Ambrosini explained the $103,808 is money the district received in its state basic education subsidy for the students.
"Because they weren't district students, we have to give it back now," he said, adding the state will withhold that money from a future subsidy.
It will be up to the district to try to collect it from the parents, he noted.
"We turn in daily subsidy reports" to the state, Ambrosini explained to the board. "It was calculated that we got X amount of subsidy for these kids attending our district. They're saying we never should have received this money."
For the 2009-10 school year, out-of-district tuition was $7,262 per student for elementary and $7,830 for secondary. The 2010-11 rates were $7,595 and $8,468, respectively.
DiGiammarino said the board needs to tighten policy and require more documents to prove residency, because students falsely using a grandparents or supposed guardian's address to attend without paying are violating state law.
"We've lost this money twice," board member Dr. Marilyn Berkely commented. She noted that first, the district was not paid tuition, and now the state is taking it away.
"There's really no loss of money to the district," retired superintendent George Gabriel countered in a phone conversation. "If these kids didn't attend, we wouldn't be getting that (subsidy) money in the first place. If they prove these (students) were out of city, we should not have received the money."
DiGiammarino asked if the district can look back through registration files and make sure the required documentation was provided.
Ambrosini cautioned the district has to wait until the audit is finalized by the auditor general's office to obtain the names in question, but that does not stop the board from adopting a procedure for future registration.
Gabriel commented that policing out-of-district residency is not a typical practice for the superintendent, rather, that usually is left to the individual building administrators who register them.
However, Gabriel said he was made aware of two out-of-district families at the time covered by the audit who were not paying tuition.
Gabriel said he talked to the two families in question and they had the documentation the district would require that indicated the students were residents. Those included sworn and notarized affidavits, he said.
"I was satisfied, but obviously the auditor general wasn't satisfied. This is not something I slept on."
He said he also sent letters to the parents/guardians saying that after a certain date, "your child no longer will be permitted to enter the buildings."
He said the superintendent's office has a folder about six inches thick containing follow-up letters from the district to families.
The district had employed someone to verify residency of students who were reported as non-residents, but the board eliminated the position two years ago as a budget cut, Gabriel pointed out.
The district has a non-resident policy, viewable on its website as "policy manual" which is under the district tab, that gives the school board responsibility for requiring the appropriate registration documentation.
It states the board shall require that legal documentation with proof of dependency or guardianship or a sworn statement of residential support, be filed with the board secretary before an eligible non-resident student may be accepted in the district.
The board may require a resident to submit additional information to substantiate a sworn statement, in accordance with guidelines of the state department of education, the policy says.
The board reserves the right to verify proof of residency, dependency and guardianship and to remove from school attendance a nonresident student whose documents are invalid, according to the policy.
The policy also requires the superintendent to recommend to the board the admission of qualified applicants.

With the semester three exam block now underway, I thought I'd take a bit of a side-step and follow on from my previous post. On the last instalment, I shared with you my experiences on summer placement and how it was beneficial in making connections between what I'd learned in university and experiencing it in a practical context.
Besides being able to experience the chosen industry in a practical setting, work experience also provides a great platform for professional development and an opportunity to make some connections with people in the industry. Overall, a big part of work experience, and perhaps the main reason, is having a greater chance of securing employment as a result of the practical experience.
Following a much needed rest and relax over the December holidays, I was lucky enough to be offered a full-time position as a result of completing the work experience program! It has been an extremely exciting time adjusting to the new job; a valuable learning experience and has had its fair share of nerve-wrecking moments.
With two weeks now passing since I started, I thought I'd focus this blog on the main similarities and differences I've found between full-time study and full time work.
- Meeting Deadlines – just like managing upcoming assignments, work has its deadlines for when tasks are to fall due.
- Working independently – just like university studies, this work is self-paced and working independently of others. Luckily, at USQ students have the benefit of supportive lecturers, student relationship officers and student services for extra guidance and support.
- Finding the balance – a struggle every student faces once in a while is striking the right balance between study and life. Work is no different and with full-time hours I've found there is even less personal time in each day. Needless to say, this factor will be one I'll need to work on the most once semester one begins!
- Hours of work – although on-campus study may involve up to 12 hours per week of face-to-face classes, the time spent on independent study is not necessarily confined to the traditional nine-to-five working hours.
- Money – perhaps the most obvious difference between the two, you are paid to work, whereas you pay to study. While many students (myself included) often grow accustomed to living on a shoe-string budget, university study is a long-term investment and can be the key to scoring that full-time position.
With all this said, I wish all the students in summer semester exams the very best and now the countdown has begun until the start of semester one!

GSP Dominates
Jon Fitch was a game opponent, but ultimately, he was outclassed. Before the match, a very humble, but nonetheless confident, GSP proclaimed that he was superior to Fitch in all facets of the fight game. After last night's bout, he proved the validity of that statement.
As always, GSP relied heavily on his wrestling. Like so many other opponents, Fitch was taken down almost at will. On his feet, GSP looked sharper than he has in a long time. His jabs were crisp and he set up his overhand right again and again. Analysts would be hard pressed to find any chinks in his armor.
The fact that GSP couldn't finish Fitch is a testament to Jon's enormous heart. Fitch was rocked and dropped several times and consistently took a beating throughout the fight. But, he never quit and never stopped moving forward. Although Fitch displayed true spirit, GSP was never in any real trouble at any point during the course of the 25-minute fight. There is no question that GSP can fluidly translate all variations of martial arts into one all encompassing fighter better then anybody else in the game.

By default, the current figure prints. If you have more than one figure open, the current figure is the last one that was active. To make a different figure active, click it to bring it to the foreground.
Specify a figure handle using the command
print -fhandle
This example sends Figure No. 2 to the printer. A figure's number is usually its handle.
print -f2
You can select the printer you want to use with the Print dialog box or with the print function.
Select the printer from the list box near the top of the Print dialog box.
You can select the printer using the -P switch of the print function.
This example prints Figure No. 3 to a printer called Calliope.
print -f3 -PCalliope
If the printer name has spaces in it, put single quotation marks around the -P option, as shown here.
print '-Pmy local printer'
Using a Network Print Server. On Windows systems, you can print to a network print server using the form shown here for a printer named trinity located on a computer named PRINTERS.
print -P\\PRINTERS\trinity
The default output figure size is 8 inches wide by 6 inches high, which maintains the aspect ratio (width to height) of the MATLAB figure window. The figure's default position is centered both horizontally and vertically when printed to a paper size of 8.5-by-11 inches.
You can change the size and position of the figure:
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu to open the Print Preview dialog box. Click the Layout tab to make changes to the size and position of your figure on the printed page.
Use the text edit boxes on the left to enter new dimensions for your figure. Or, use the handlebars on the rulers in the right-hand pane to drag the margins and location of your figure with the mouse. The outer handlebars move the figure toward or away the nearest margin, while the central handlebar repositions the figure on the page without changing its proportions. Guidelines appear while you are using the handlebars.
Settings you can change in the Layout tab are as follows:
Placement. Choose whether you want the figure to be the same size as it is displayed on your screen, or you want to manually change its size using the options in the Layout pane.
When you select the Use manual size and position mode, type the widths of any of the four margins and the preview image responds after each entry you make. Select units of measure (inches/centimeters/points) with pushbuttons on the Units section on the bottom of the pane.
You can use the four buttons at the bottom of the Placement section to expand the figure to fill the page, make its aspect ratio (ratio of y-extent to x-extent) as printed match that of the figure, center the figure on the page, or restore the setup to what it was when you opened the Print Preview dialog. Selecting Fill page can alter the aspect ratio of your image. To get the maximum figure size without altering the aspect ratio, select Fix aspect ratio.
Auto (actual size, centered). Select this option to center the figure on the page; it will be the same size as it is in the figure window. The four buttons below the control are dimmed when you select this option.
Note Changes you make using Print Preview affect the printed output only. They do not alter the figure displayed on your screen.
To print your figure with a specific size or position, make sure the PaperPositionMode property is set to manual (the default). Then set the PaperPosition property to the desired size and position.
The PaperPosition property references a four-element row vector that specifies the position and dimensions of the printed output. The form of the vector is
[left bottom width height]
left specifies the distance from the left edge of the paper to the left edge of the figure.
bottom specifies the distance from the bottom of the paper to the bottom of the figure.
width and height specify the figure's width and height.
The default values for PaperPosition are
[0.25 2.5 8.0 6.0]
This example sets the figure size to a width of 4 inches and height of 2 inches, with the origin of the figure positioned 2 inches from the left edge of the paper and 1 inch from the bottom edge.
set(gcf, 'PaperPositionMode', 'manual'); set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'inches'); set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [2 1 4 2]);
Set the paper size by specifying the dimensions or by choosing from a list of predefined paper types. If you do not set a paper size or type, the default paper size of 8.5-by-11 inches is used.
Paper-size and paper-type settings are interrelated—if you set a paper type, the paper size also updates. For example, if you set the paper type to US Legal, the width of the paper updates to 8.5 inches and the height to 14 inches.
You can change the paper size and orientation:
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu to open the Print Preview dialog box. Click the Layout tab to make changes to the paper type and orientation of the figure on the printed page.
Settings you can change in the Layout tab are as follows:
Paper Format, Units and Orientation. Select a paper type from the list under Format. If there is no paper type with suitable dimensions, enter your own dimensions in the Width and Height fields. Make sure Units is set appropriately to inches, centimeters, or points. If you change units after setting a paper width and height, the Width and Height fields update to use the units you just selected. The page region in the preview pane updates to show the new paper format or size when you change them.
Use the Orientation buttons to select how you want the figure to be oriented on the printed page. The illustration under Setting the Paper Orientation shows the three types of orientation you can choose from.
Note Changes you make using Print Preview affect the printed output only. They do not alter the figure displayed on your screen.
Set the PaperType property to one of the built-in MATLAB paper types, or set the PaperSize property to the dimensions of the paper.
When you select a paper type, the unit of measure is not automatically updated. We recommend that you set the PaperUnits property first.
For example, these commands set the units to centimeters and the paper type to A4.
set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'centimeters'); set(gcf, 'PaperType', 'A4');
This example sets the units to inches and sets the paper size of 5-by-7 inches.
set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'inches'); set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [5 7]);
If you set a paper size for which there is no matching paper type, the PaperType property is automatically set to 'custom'.
Paper orientation refers to how the paper is oriented with respect to the figure. The choices are Portrait (the default), Landscape, and Rotated.
You can change the orientation of the figure:
The figure below shows the same figure printed using the three different orientations.
Note The Rotated orientation is not supported by all printers. When the printer does not support it, landscape is used.
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu and select the Layout tab. (See Using the Graphical User Interface).
Use the PaperOrientation figure property or the orient function. Use the orient function if you always want your figure centered on the paper.
The following example sets the orientation to landscape:
set(gcf, 'PaperOrientation', 'landscape');
Centering the Figure. If you set the PaperOrientation property from portrait to either of the other two orientation schemes, you might find that what was previously a centered image is now positioned near the paper's edge. You can either adjust the position (use the PaperPosition property), or you can use the orient function, which always centers the figure on the paper.
The orient function takes the same argument names as PaperOrientation. For example,
orient rotated;
A renderer is software and/or hardware that processes graphics data (such as vertex coordinates) to display, print, or export a figure. You can change the renderer from the one used to draw a figure to another renderer when printing it:
MATLAB supports three rendering methods with the following characteristics:
Draws figures using vector graphics
Generally produces higher resolution results
The fastest renderer when the figure contains only simple or small graphics objects
The only renderer possible when printing with the HP-GL® print driver or exporting to an Adobe® Illustrator file
The best renderer for creating PostScript® or EPS files
Cannot render figures that use RGB color for patch or surface objects
Does not show lighting or transparency
Draws figures using bitmap (raster) graphics
Faster and more accurate than Painter's
Can consume a lot of system memory when displaying a complex scene
Shows lighting, but not transparency
Draws figures using bitmap (raster) graphics
Generally faster than Painter's or Z-buffer
Can access graphics rendering hardware available on some systems
Shows both lighting and transparency
For more detailed information about changing rendering methods, see the Figure Renderer property.
There are two kinds of OpenGL implementations: hardware and software.
The hardware implementation uses special graphics hardware to increase performance and is therefore significantly faster than the software version. Many computers have this special hardware available as an option or may come with this hardware right out of the box.
Software implementations of OpenGL are much like the ZBuffer renderer that is available on MATLAB Version 5.0 and later; however, OpenGL generally provides superior performance to ZBuffer.
OpenGL is available on all computers that run MATLAB. MATLAB automatically finds hardware-accelerated versions of OpenGL if such versions are available. If the hardware-accelerated version is not available, then MATLAB uses the software version (except on Macintosh systems, which do not support software OpenGL).
The following software versions are available:
On UNIX systems, MATLAB uses the software version of OpenGL that is included in the MATLAB distribution.
On Windows, OpenGL is available as part of the operating system. If you experience problems with OpenGL, contact your graphics driver vendor to obtain the latest qualified version of OpenGL.
On Macintosh systems, software OpenGL is not available.
MATLAB issues a warning if it cannot find a usable OpenGL library.
MATLAB enables you to switch between hardware-accelerated and software OpenGL. However, Windows and UNIX systems behave differently:
On Windows systems, you can toggle between software and hardware versions any time during the MATLAB session.
On UNIX systems, you must set the OpenGL version before MATLAB initializes OpenGL. Therefore, you cannot issue the opengl info command or create graphs before you call opengl software. To reenable hardware accelerated OpenGL, you must restart MATLAB.
On Macintosh systems, software OpenGL is not available.
If you do not want to use hardware OpenGL, but do want to use object transparency, you can issue the following command.
opengl software
This command forces MATLAB to use software OpenGL. Software OpenGL is useful if your hardware-accelerated version of OpenGL does not function correctly and you want to use image, patch, or surface transparency, which requires the OpenGL renderer. To reenable hardware OpenGL, use the command:
opengl hardware
on Windows systems or restart MATLAB on UNIX systems.
By default, MATLAB uses hardware-accelerated OpenGL.
See the opengl reference page for additional information
To determine the version and vendor of the OpenGL library that MATLAB is using on your system, type the following command at the MATLAB prompt:
opengl info
The returned information contains a line that indicates if MATLAB is using software (Software = true) or hardware-accelerated (Software = false) OpenGL.
This command also returns a string of extensions to the OpenGL specification that are available with the particular library MATLAB is using. This information is helpful to MathWorks®, so please include this information if you need to report bugs.
Note that issuing the opengl info command causes MATLAB to initialize OpenGL.
There are some differences between drawings created with OpenGL and those created with other renderers. The OpenGL specific differences include
OpenGL does not do colormap interpolation. If you create a surface or patch using indexed color and interpolated face or edge coloring, OpenGL interpolates the colors through the RGB color cube instead of through the colormap.
OpenGL does not support the phong value for the FaceLighting and EdgeLighting properties of surfacesand patches.
OpenGL does not support logarithmic-scale axes.
OpenGL and Zbuffer renderers display objects sorted in front to back order, as seen on the monitor, and lines always draw in front of faces when at the same location on the plane of the monitor. Painters sorts by child order (order specified).
By default, OpenGL tries to optimize the rendering method based on the attributes of the figure (its complexity and the settings of various Handle Graphics® properties) and in some cases, the printer driver or file format used.
In general, renderers are selected as follows:
Painter's, for line plots, area plots (bar graphs, histograms, etc.), and simple surface plots
Z-buffer, when the computer screen is not true color or when the opengl function was called with selection_mode set to neverselect
OpenGL, for complex surface plots using interpolated shading and any figure using lighting
The RendererMode property describes whether to automatically select the renderer based on the contents of the figure (when set to auto), or to use the Renderer property that you have indicated (when set to manual).
Two reasons to set the renderer yourself are
To make your printed or exported figure look the same as it did on the screen. The rendering method used for printing and exporting the figure is not always the same method used to display the figure.
To avoid unintentionally exporting your figure as a bitmap within a vector format. For example, high-complexity MATLAB plots typically render using OpenGL or Z-buffer. If you export a high-complexity figure to the EPS or EMF vector formats without specifying a rendering method, either OpenGL or Z-buffer might be used, each of which creates bitmap graphics.
Storing a bitmap in a vector file can generate a very large file that takes a long time to print. If you use one of these formats and want to make sure that your figure is saved as a vector file, be sure to set the rendering method to Painter's.
Open the Print Preview dialog box by selecting Print Preview from the figure window's File menu. Select the Advanced tab.
In the Renderer drop-down menu, select the desired rendering method from the list box.
You can use the Renderer property or a switch with the print function to set the renderer for printing or exporting. These two lines each set the renderer for the current figure to Z-buffer.
set(gcf, 'Renderer', 'zbuffer');
print -zbuffer
The first example saves the new value of Renderer with the figure; the second example only affects the current print or export operation.
When you set the Renderer property, the RendererMode property is automatically reset from auto (the factory default) to manual.
Resolution refers to how accurately your figure is rendered when printed or exported. Higher resolutions produce higher quality output. The specific definition of resolution depends on whether your figure is output as a bitmap or as a vector graphic.
You can change the resolution used to print a figure:
The default resolution depends on the renderer used and the graphics format or printer driver specified. The following two tables summarize the default resolutions and whether you can change them.
Resolutions Used with Graphics Formats
Graphics Format
Default Resolution
Can Be Changed?
Built-in MATLAB export formats, (except for EMF, EPS, and ILL)
150 dpi (always use OpenGL or Z-buffer)
EMF export format (Enhanced Metafile)
150 dpi
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
150 dpi, if OpenGL or Z-buffer; 864 dpi if Painter's
ILL export format (Adobe Illustrator)
72 dpi (always uses Painter's)
Ghostscript export formats
72 dpi (always uses OpenGL or Z-buffer)
Resolutions Used with Printer Drivers
Printer Driver
Default Resolution
Can Be Changed?
Windows and PostScript drivers
150 dpi, if OpenGL or Z-buffer; 864 dpi if Painter's
Ghostscript driver
150 dpi, if OpenGL or Z-buffer; 864 dpi if Painter's
HP-GL driver
1116 dpi (always uses Painter's)
You might need to determine your resolution requirements through experimentation, but you can also use the following guidelines.
For Printing. The default resolution of 150 dpi is normally adequate for typical laser-printer output. However, if you are preparing figures for high-quality printing, such as a textbook or color brochures, you might want to use 200 or 300 dpi. The resolution you can use can be limited by the printer's capabilities.
For Exporting. If you are exporting your figure, base your decision on the resolution supported by the final output device. For example, if you will import your figure into a word processing document and print it on a printer that supports a maximum resolution setting of 300 dpi, you could export your figure using 300 dpi to get a precise one-to-one correspondence between pixels in the file and dots on the paper.
Resolution affects file size and memory requirements. For both printing and exporting, the higher the resolution setting, the longer it takes to render your figure.
To set the resolution for built-in MATLAB printer drivers:
From the Print dialog box, click Properties. This opens a new dialog box. (This box can differ from one printer to another.)
You may be able to set the resolution from this dialog. If not, then click Advanced to get to a dialog box that enables you to do this.
Set the resolution, and then click OK. (The resolution setting might be labeled by another name, such as "Print Quality.")
If you use a Windows printer driver, you can only set the resolution using the Windows Document Properties dialog box.
Otherwise, to set the resolution for printing or exporting, the syntax is
print -rnumber
where number is the number of dots per inch. To print or export a figure using screen resolution, set number to 0 (zero).
This example prints the current figure with a resolution of 100 dpi:
print -r100
This example exports the current figure to a TIFF file using screen resolution:
print -r0 -dtiff myfile.tif
The default output size, 8-by-6 inches, is normally larger than the screen size. If the size of your printed or exported figure is different from its size on the screen, the number and placement of axes tick marks scale to suit the output size. This section shows you how to lock them so that they are the same as they were when displayed.
You can change the resolution used when printing a MATLAB figure:
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu to open the Print Preview dialog box. Select the Advanced tab to make changes to the axes, UI controls, or renderer settings.
Settings you can change in the Advanced tab are as follows, by panel:
Axes limits and ticks. If the size of your printed or exported figure is different from its size on the screen, the number and placement of axes tick marks scale to suit the output size. Select Keep screen limits and ticks to lock them so that they are the same as they were when displayed. If you want to automatically adjust the ticks and limits when scaling for printing, select Recompute limits and ticks.
Miscellaneous. Use the Renderer drop-down menu to specify which renderer to use in printing the figure. Set the renderer to Painters, Z-buffer, or OpenGL, or select auto to automatically decide which one to use, depending on the characteristics of the figure. (See Selecting a Renderer).
Use the Resolution drop-down menu to specify the resolution, in dots per inch (DPI), at which to render and print the figure. You can select 150, 300, or 600 DPI, or type in a different value (positive integer).
Figure UI Controls. By default, user interface controls are included in your printed or exported figure. Clear the Print UIControls check box to exclude them. (See Excluding User Interface Controls from Printed Output).
Note Changes you make using Print Preview affect the printed output only. They do not alter the figure displayed on your screen.
To set the XTickMode, YTickMode, and ZTickMode properties to manual, type
set(gca, 'XTickMode', 'manual'); set(gca, 'YTickMode', 'manual'); set(gca, 'ZTickMode', 'manual');
You can keep the background the same as is shown on the screen when printed, or change the background to white. There are two types of background color settings in a figure: the axes background and the figure background. The default displayed color of both backgrounds is gray, but you can set them to any of several colors.
Regardless of the background colors in your displayed figure, by default, they are always changed to white when you print or export. This section shows you how to retain the displayed background colors in your output.
To retain the background color on a per figure basis:
Open the Print Preview dialog box by selecting Print Preview from the figure window's File menu. Select the Color tab.
If you are exporting your figure using the clipboard, use the Copy Options panel of the Preferences dialog box.
To retain your background colors, use
set(gcf, 'InvertHardCopy', 'off');
The following example sets the figure background color to blue, the axes background color to yellow, and then sets InvertHardCopy to off so that these colors appear in your printed or exported figure.
set(gcf, 'color', 'blue'); set(gca, 'color', 'yellow'); set(gcf, 'InvertHardCopy', 'off');
If you transfer your figures to Microsoft® Word or PowerPoint® applications, you can set line and text characteristics to values recommended for those applications. The Figure Copy Template Preferences dialog box provides Word and PowerPoint options to make these settings, or you can set certain line and text characteristics individually.
You can change line and text characteristics:
To open Figure Copy Template Preferences, select Preferences from the File menu, and then click Figure Copy Template in the left pane.
Settings you can change in the Figure Copy Template Preferences dialog box are as follows:
Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Click Documents or Presentations to apply recommended MATLAB settings.
Text. Use options under Text to modify the appearance of all text in the figure. You can change the font size, change the text color to black and white, and change the font style to bold.
Lines. Use the Lines options to modify the appearance of all lines in the figure:
Custom width — Change the line width.
Change style (Black or white) — Change colored lines to black or white.
Change style (B&W styles) — Change solid lines to different line styles (e.g., solid, dashed, etc.), and black or white color.
UIControls and axes. If your figure includes user interface controls, you can choose to show or hide them by clicking Show uicontrols. Also, to keep axes limits and tick marks as they appear on the screen, click Keep axes limits and tick spacing. To allow automatic scaling of axes limits and tick marks based on the size of the printed figure, clear this box.
Note Changes you make using Print Preview affect the printed output only. They do not alter the figure displayed on your screen.
You can use the set function on selected graphics objects in your figure to change individual line and text characteristics.
For example, to change line width to 1.8 and line style to a dashed line, use
lineobj = findobj('type', 'line'); set(lineobj, 'linewidth', 1.8); set(lineobj, 'linestyle', '--');
To change the font size to 15 points and font weight to bold, use
textobj = findobj('type', 'text'); set(textobj, 'fontunits', 'points'); set(textobj, 'fontsize', 15); set(textobj, 'fontweight', 'bold');
When colored lines and text are dithered to gray by a black-and-white printer, it does not produce good results for thin lines and the thin lines that make up text characters. You can, however, force all line and text objects in the figure to print in black and white, thus improving their appearance in the printed copy. When you select this setting, the lines and text are printed all black or all white, depending on the background color.
The default is to leave lines and text in the color that appears on the screen.
Note Your background color might not be the same as what you see on the screen. See the Color tab for an option that preserves the background color when printing.
You can change the resolution used to print a figure:
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu to open the Print Preview dialog box. Select the Lines and Text tab to make changes to the color of all lines and text on the printed page. The controls for the Lines and Text tab are shown below:
Settings you can change in Lines and Text are as follows:
Lines. The default option in this panel causes lines to print at the same width they are portrayed in the figure window. You can scale line width from 0 percent upwards for printing using the Scale By field. To print lines at a particular point size, select Custom. All lines on the plot will be the same weight when you use the Custom option; the Scale By option respects relative line weight.
When you scale lines downward, you can prevent them from becoming too faint by setting the Min Width option to Custom and specifying a minimum line width in points in that field.
Text. The default is to print text in the same font and at the same size as it is in the figure. To change the font (for all text) select Custom and choose a new font from the drop-down list that is then enabled. Scale the font size using the Scale By option. To print text at a particular point size, select Custom. All text on the plot will be printed at the point size you specify when you use the Custom option; the Scale By option respects relative font size. You can specify the Font Weight (normal, light, demi, or bold) and Font Angle (normal, italic, or oblique) for all text as well, using the drop-down menus at the bottom of the Text panel.
Header. Type any text that you want to appear at the top of the printed figure in the Header Text edit field. If you want today's date and/or time appended to the header text, select the appropriate format from the Date Style popup menu. To specify and style the header font (which is independent of the font used in the figure), click the Font button and choose a font name, size, and style from the Font selection window that appears.
Note Changes you make using Print Preview affect the printed output only. They do not alter the figure displayed on your screen.
There is no equivalent MATLAB command that sets line and text color depending on background color. Set the color of lines and text using the set function on either line or text objects in your figure.
This example sets all lines and text to black:
set(findobj('type', 'line'), 'color', 'black'); set(findobj('type', 'text'), 'color', 'black');
By default, color output is in the RGB color space (red, green, blue). If you plan to publish and print MATLAB figures using printing industry standard four-color separation, you might want to use the CMYK color space (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).
Select Print Preview from the figure window's File menu to open the Print Preview dialog box. Select the Color tab to make changes to the color of all lines and text on the printed page. The controls for the Color tab are shown below:
You can print the contents of your figure in color, grayscale, or black-and-white by selecting the appropriate button in the panel. When you select Color, you can choose between an RGB (red/green/blue) or a CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black) color specification, if your printer is capable of it.
Independently of the Color Scale controls, you can specify a Background color for printing. Select Same as figure to use the color used in the figure itself (default is gray), or specify a Custom color from the combo box popup menu. The choices are black, white, and several RGB color triplet values; you type any valid MATLAB colorspec in this field as well, such as g, magenta, or .3 .4 .5.
The background color you specify is respected even if you choose Black and White or Gray Scale in the Color Scale panel.
On any platform, you can also indicate whether to print in color, grayscale or black-and-white with the Print Preview dialog box.
Use the -cmyk option with the print function. This example prints the current figure in CMYK using a PostScript Level II color printer driver.
print -dpsc2 -cmyk
User interface controls are objects that you create and add to a figure. For example, you can add a button to a figure that, when clicked, conveniently runs another MATLAB file. By default, user interface controls are included in your printed or exported figure. This section shows how to exclude them.
Open the Print Preview dialog box by selecting Print Preview from the figure window's File menu, and then select the Advanced tab.
Use the -noui switch. This example specifies a color PostScript driver and excludes UI controls.
print -dpsc -noui
This example exports the current figure to a color EPS file and excludes UI controls.
print -depsc -noui myfile.eps
In most cases, MATLAB crops the background tightly around the objects in the figure. Depending on the printer driver or file format you use, you might be able to produce uncropped output. An uncropped figure has increased background area and is often desirable for figures that contain UI controls.
The setting you make changes the PostScript BoundingBox property saved with the figure.
Use the -loose option with the print function. On Windows platforms, the uncropped option is only available if you print to a file.
This example exports the current figure, uncropped, to an EPS file.
print -deps -loose myfile.eps

Our stay at Le Bonheur was absolutely wonderful! We had the best holiday ever in Cape Town with magic weather. The hosts, Athol and Marius were very accommodating and helpful with our requests. The Villa is very well equipped with everything that you might need including all washing and ironing requirements. The domestic staff are polite friendly and helpful. Le Bonheur is perfectly situated in Constantia, about 5 minutes from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where we had an enjoyable picnic. We also spent time on the beautiful white beaches and enjoyed the magical nightlife of Cape Town. The feature we enjoyed most about the property was all the patios with frameless glass doors which we had open during the day. When we got back to the Villa form exploring Cape Town we relaxed in the heated pool and jacuzzi and had sun downers on the top patio overlooking the back of Table Mountain. I can definitely recommend Le Bonheur for a relaxing 5 star holiday
