i have created a figure contained single axes, i use this axes to display image from my webcam. then I put some additional line into the axes using "line" command, I want to capture image from the axes. i have tried using getframe, getimage etc but it doesnt work. the image that I've acquired from axes is not image i wanted, the line is gone...
here my simple code :
i put my image into axes using
then I add some line using
h=line ([10,12],[45,46],'Color','white','LineWidth',5);
these line was exist in the axes display
i want image from the axes so i use getframe, getimage etc
but the only image i got was an image without "line"
does anybody know how to get image from axes ? (including additional line that i've mentioned before)
may you explain to me how "getframe(h) and getimage(h)" works ?

Charlie Pickett, To Be Hated Perform at 5 Points Lounge Benefit for Punk Rock Baby
Pick up a copy of Hated for Trying's Cadence to Valor album at the event. It includes bands from the benefit to raise additional funds for the Linnabary family.
As a young father, To Be Hated's frontman Johnny Pflug (AKA Johnny Love) understands how hard and stressful it is to support a family and raise a baby.
As a punk rocker, Pflug knows that if you want to change anything, you gotta
DIY. Less than half a year ago, Pflug's close friend and Churchill's regular,
Chlesea Kronick gave birth to a baby girl Rosalie.
Rosalie was born prematurely and her father, Corporal Daniel
Linnabary II, was able to spend almost two months with her, before getting
deployed to Afghanistan in July. Tragically, Linnabary was killed a month
later - Chelsea and Rosalie lost their husband and father. Pflug and his wife
Cassie immediately figured out how to help the family, and honor the fallen
soldier's memory.
"As a new parent, I am too familiar with the rising cost of
raising a family, and I really wanted to do whatever I could for Chelsea to help
ease the load," says Pflug.
The show will feature some of South Florida's best
acts, Charlie Pickett, To Be Hated, Good Shepard, Los Bastardos Magnificos, the
707s, and the City Lines. All proceeds will go to Linnbarry's surving family.
In addition to the show, Hated for Trying Records is issuing
a compilation album featuring 27 South Florida's heaviest hitters -- with all proceeds going to Chelsea and baby Rosalie.
Benefit for Chelsea and Rosalie Linnabary at 8 p.m. on Nov. 16 at Five Points Lounge, 2608 South Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, with Charlie Pickett, To Be Hated, Los Bastardos Magnificos, The 707's, Good Shepard, the City Lines, the 707's.

If you have highly reactive or sensitive skin, then it is important to know exactly what is in your skin care products.
That's why all PAI products are certified organic by the Soil Association, so you can be reassured our products stand up to scrutiny.
Sensitive skin is extremely reactive and easily irritated. One in ten adults (and over 50% of Pai customers) suffer from skin sensitivity.
All Pai products are suitable for sensitive and even hyper-sensitive skin types.
You won't find "parfum" on any of PAI's ingredient lists - a term that legally allows manufacturers to include up to 200 synthetic chemicals, including phthalates, in their products without declaring them on the label.
Pai was the first skin care company to list all ingredients in plain English, so you don't need a chemistry degree to understand what's in the bottle.
Unlike many brands on the market, which commission factories to both formulate and manufacture their products, PAI has it's own in-house R&D lab and manufacturing facility.
That means each and every Pai Skincare product is unique and the result of our own hard work, dedicated research and rigorous testing.
Their professional team of formulation chemists are constantly sourcing and testing new natural-active ingredients so they can develop high performance products without compromising on purity.

Evaluation of a High-Performance Steel Bridge Using Field Test Data Kelsey Miner NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Bridge Engineering University of Delaware Intro Location / History of Churchman's Bridge Previous Research Bridge Model Strain Gage Data Results / Discussion Location - Map University of Delaware Churchman's Road Bridge Location - Pictures New bridge looking from the east. Aerial view of old bridge (notice skew). 27º History of Churchman's Bridge Work began in 2004 to replace existing overpass 773' long steel bridge with five spans Sharply skewed at an angle of 27º Cross frames (to connect the girders) are parallel to the abutments (with the skew and not normal to the girders) Previous Research Eight girders and two cross frames have been instrumented with Geokon vibrating wire strain gauges. Gauges have been continuously recording data since before construction began. Data has been removed from the data loggers approximately every two weeks, and then stored as text files. Previous Research – Strain Gauges Two cross Cross Frame Detail frames have gauges on all members. All eight girders have strain gauges on the bottom flange and two also have them on End View top. Research Objectives and Importance Very few skewed steel bridges have been instrumented before construction. Currently they require significant design experience due to cross-frame and girder rotation issues. This project aims to increase the understanding of dead load stresses in these bridges. Modeling Modeling Program: STAAD 2003 Easy to learn, available and recommended 2 1 n Girder Details - Side View n tio tio c c Se Se Using STAAD, a line model was G2 to G7 PL16'x13 4" PL20'x118" Top Flange G1 & G8 PL16'x15 8" PL20'x118" created. Members are treated 2-d lines, as compared to a 3-d model in Web 7 PL72"x 8" (TYP.) 110' which they are solids. Girder cross-sections produced in Field Splice 1 Section Wizard and imported into G2 to G7 PL16'x13 4" PL20'x118" Bottom Flange STAAD. G1 & G8 PL16'x15 8" PL20'x118" AutoCad used to organize the 26 different sizes of girders on this bridge. Modeling - Simplifications Cross-frames modeled as single members. Models were created in STAAD and their effective areas determined. W-sections with the same area were then chosen to represent these cross-frames. Modeling - Cross-Frames, Utility Supports By modeling the cross-frames as single members, their true weight was not being represented. The utility supports were not modeled, and instead loads were added to represent them. Gir r der Girde Cro ss-f ram e Girder Cros s-fra me Utility Supports Modeling - Supports and Errata Middle pier modeled as fixed support, with all other piers being modeled as rollers. Modeled this way since k-values for springs would be difficult to determine. Also, STAAD has a node limitation of 500 nodes, so only the west half of the bridge was analyzed, although entire model was created. Model of Entire Bridge Model of West Half of Bridge Modeling - Construction Process Each step in the construction process was modeled, with one shown below. Done so that the evolution of stresses in the girders could be analyzed. Strain Gage Data Strain data was plotted versus time for months before construction to weeks after construction Girder placement In High Steel's In transit / fabrication yard At construction site Strain Gage Data – Three Types Three types of strains were determined. 1. Overall Strain on Bottom Of Girder 1 During Construction 2. Construction 250 150 Maximum Strain 3. Maximum 50 -50 Construction Microstrain Extreme Maximum Strains Construction Strains -150 Strain Overall Strains -250 Overall Strain -350 -450 -550 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 - - - - - - - - - - - ar ar ar ar ar pr pr pr pr pr pr -M -M -M -M -M -A -A -A -A -A -A 22 24 26 28 30 01 03 05 07 09 11 Results Stresses from gages compared to the results from the models. West End of Bridge Stresses Agreed on stress development, such as both having largest stresses after girder six was placed. Did not agree on magnitude of stresses with gages reading 12-14 KSI and model predicting 5 KSI Discussion Discrepancy in stresses is most likely due to loads not being taken in account. From plan drawings and bridge visits it is not clear what these loads would be. Possibly welds, safety devices, stiffener plates Results could also be improved by better modeling of supports and of cross-frames. Determine k-values for all the supports Take into account other properties besides effective area for the frames. Further Research 3-D modeling of the bridge. Would allow accurate modeling of the cross- frames, since could attach members to the tops and bottoms of girders Relationship between temperature and strain in the girders, since temperature causes significant strain variation.

want to communicate with local people.
Many of the terms are used regularly in the IT industry - in speeches, publications and the business media - such as gateway review, synergy, stakeholder engagement, baseline, benchmarking, best practice, blue-sky thinking, champion, challenge, early win, functionality, transformational and vision.
The list's worst offenders against plain English include Predictors of Beaconicity, situational, place shaping and coterminosity.
The Local Government Association has drawn up the list of words that ought to be banned, and is sending it to councils across the country.
Among the 200 words are re-baselining, mainstreaming, holistic governance, contestability and synergies.
The association says that everyone who works in public services should use language that makes their work easily understood.
Chairman of the Local Government Association, Margaret Eaton, said, "The public sector must not hide behind impenetrable jargon and phrases. Why do we have to use 'coterminous, stakeholder engagement' when we could just 'talk to people' instead?
"During the recession, it is vital that we explain to people in plain English how to access the 800 different services that local government provides with taxpayers' money.
"Councils have a duty, not only to provide value for money to local people, but also to tell people what they get for the tax they pay.
"Unless information is given to people to explain what help they can get during a recession,more people could end up homeless or bankrupt. If a council fails to explain what it does in plain English, then local people will fail to understand its relevance to them or why they should bother to turn out and vote.

Inmarsat has begun offering its broadband global area network (BGAN) service across North and South America.
In the Americas, BGAN service relies on an Inmarsat satellite (I-4) launched last November and positioned in geostationary orbit over Brazil. The satellite joined another over the Indian Ocean to provide BGAN service availability to 85 percent of the world's landmass and 98 percent of its population.
For newsgathering, BGAN offers networks and local stations an alternative to larger satellite uplinks, such as SNG and DSNG vehicles and flyaways. While it is not likely to replace these technologies, it offers field reporters, producers and news crews the highest level of portability they've ever had in a satellite uplink. There are BGAN terminals available that are no bigger than a laptop computer and weigh only a few pounds.
BGAN is a broadband Internet service offering voice, streaming video and the ability to file larger video stories using a store-and-forward approach. BGAN offers IP data speeds of up to 492Kb/s, with the option of guaranteed data rates up to 256Kb/s.

Product description
"Pfitz is a surprisingly warm and likeable book, a combination of intellectual high-wire act and good traditional storytelling with a population of lovers and madmen we do care about, despite their advertised fictionality. Certainly Crumey's narrative gymnastics have not affected his ability to create strong, fleshy characters, and none more fleshy, more fleshly, than Frau Luppen, Schenck's middle-aged landlady, a great blown rose of a woman who express her affection for her lodger by feeding him bowls of inedible stew."Andrew Miller in The New York Times"Rreinnstadt is a place which exists nowhere - the conception of a 18th century prince who devotes his time, and that of his subjects, to laying down on paper the architecture and street-plans of this great, yet illusory city. Its inhabitants must also be devised: artists and authors, their fictional lives and works, all concocted by different departments. When Schenck, a worker in the Cartography Office, discovers the 'existence' of Pfitz, a manservant visiting Rreinnstadt, he sets about illicitly recreating Pfitz's life. Crumey is a daring writer: using the stuff of fairy tales, he ponders the difference between fact and fiction, weaving together philosophy and fantasy to create a magical, witty novel."Sunday Times

Review quote
"Built out of fantasy, Andrew Crumey's novel stands, like the monumental museum at the centre of its imaginary city, as an edifice of erudition."
Editorial reviews
Philosopher-novelist Crumey follows his prize-winning debut (Music, In a Foreign Language, 1996) with an equally pithy and pleasing tale of love and intrigue among the state-sponsored designers of a wholly imaginary city. In the 18th century, a dreamer of a prince decides that cities are far more interesting when they are completely fabricated, right down to the lives of their lowliest inhabitants, so he devotes his energy and the resources of his realm to the perfection of his ideal: a city that exists only on paper. The result, Rreinnstadt, is the creation of an army of specialized laborers, among them Cartographer Schenck and Biographer Estrella. Schenck is smitten when he first sets eyes on Estrella, and so to make her notice him he tells her of Pfitz, the servant of the mysterious Count Zelneck (whose biography Estrella has already prepared), a man whose name he found next to the count's on a map but about whom there is no official record. Presenting the story of the knave-savant Pfitz - himself a devious yarnspinner - in installments constructed feverishly in all-night sessions after work gains the biographer's full attention, but it also draws Schenck deeper into a potentially deadly mystery. Another name is beneath that of Pfitz on the map, partially erased; by doing research on it, the Cartographer discovers a real madman and a real murder, as well as doubts that the fair Estrella is being completely honest with him. In the end, he'll have to decide whether the Schenck he bas always been is who he wants to remain, or whether he must reinvent himself in order to gain what he most desires. Borrowing from Conan Doyle as much as from Wittgenstein, this is a heady concoction, deeply inventive, displaying an abundance of humor as well as a convincing celebration of the lusty enchantments of youth. A real treat. (Kirkus Reviews)

Videoconferencing can help businesses reduce operating costs, improve their decision making capabilities and increase their customer contact. Yet, just half of businesses use videoconferencing today.
In November and December 2010, CDW surveyed IT and telecommunications managers to understand videoconferencing adoption, examine key drivers and identify implementation challenges. Importantly, CDW investigated if and how businesses are measuring their videoconferencing success and their return on investment (ROI) to date.
According to the report, medium and large businesses most commonly deploy peer-to-peer conferencing and multisite meeting rooms. That said, respondents indicated increasing interest in immersive telepresence systems.
The report also found that businesses need a better understanding of the costs and benefits associated with videoconferencing, and, critically, they need a concrete plan to track these metrics. As it stands today, just slightly more than half of medium and large businesses who use videoconferencing are tracking their ROI. However, many organizations have identified ways to track these savings and communicate the value that videoconferencing offers.
This slideshow highlights the findings from the CDW videoconferencing straw poll.

I've just seen this question, where one of the answers indicates that System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch should only be used for diagnosing performance and not in production code.
In that case, what would be the best way to get precision timing in .NET? I'm currently in the early stages of building a very simple MIDI sequencer using the MIDI-out functionality of NAudio. I'd like to be able to send MIDI messages out aligned to (say) 1/10s with as little jitter as possible. Is this feasible, or will things like context-switching ruin my day?
I currently have some code in a console app that continuously calls
Stopwatch and calculates the jitter when generating a stream of 1/16th-notes at 150bpm. The jitter is very low in this situation. However, I'll be moving this off to another thread, so I don't know if that will remain the case.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Brandon Belt clubbed a go-ahead, three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to help the San Francisco Giants complete a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 9-6 victory on Wednesday at Chase Field.
Arizona reliever David Hernandez (1-2) started the eighth on the hill and issued a one-out free pass to Hunter Pence before walking Gregor Blanco with two outs.
"That was the worst part of it all was two walks," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson on the bullpen blowing the game. "We walked four guys in two innings and they all scored."
Belt, who smacked a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning of Monday's series opener to lift the Giants to victory, then jumped on an 0-2 fastball and launched it over the wall down the right-field line to put the visitors in front.
"It's just one of those things, you just keep trying to get better, you start off slow, you want to steadily make improvements," said Belt. "I feel like I've been doing that and hope I can go on a streak here, pretty soon."
George Kontos (2-1) earned the victory after spinning 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief, while Sergio Romo worked around a one-out single in the ninth to nail down his 11th save of the season.
Angel Pagan went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two RBI and three runs scored, while Pence added a solo shot and two runs scored for the Giants, who wrapped up a six-game road trip at 3-3.
Arizona, which held a one-run lead in the ninth inning Tuesday before Pablo Sandoval scorched a go-ahead, two-run homer, received a solid effort from starter Brandon McCarthy, who scattered eight hits and struck out six over six innings of work.
Cliff Pennington belted a three-run homer and finished with four RBI, while Eric Chavez collected three hits, two runs scored and an RBI in the setback, Arizona's first in a series-finale this season (8-1).
After Belt's blast put the Giants in front, Jean Machi and Santiago Casilla combined to blank the Diamondbacks in the bottom half before San Francisco added a pair of runs in the ninth to give Romo some breathing room.
Pagan and Brandon Crawford walked to start the frame before Sandoval doubled to center to score Pagan. Buster Posey added a sacrifice fly to account for the final margin.
Pagan pounded McCarthy's second pitch of the game over the right-field wall, but Pennington's three-run shot in the second gave Arizona a 3-1 lead.
Chavez clubbed a run-scoring double in the fourth to add to Arizona's lead, but Pagan's RBI double preceded Crawford's run-scoring triple in the fifth to bring the Giants within one.
Paul Goldschmidt answered with an RBI single in the bottom half to restore the home team's two-run lead before Pence's one-out solo shot in the sixth trimmed the margin in half.
Pennington plated another run in the bottom half with a one-out double to left to again put the Diamondbacks ahead by two, but Belt erased the deficit with one swing of the bat in the eighth to give the Giants the lead for good.
San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum allowed five runs on 10 hits while striking
out six over five frames ... Romo has a 27-game scoreless streak against
Arizona, tossing 20 scoreless innings ... The Giants have won seven of their
last eight games at Chase Field and swept the Diamondbacks for the first time
on the road since taking a four-game set from July 22-25, 2010 ... Arizona
went 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left eight on base.

I'm confused as to how a 2003 property agreement between the city and the PFD can impact a much-later property transfer (the Cloninger property didn't come into the city's hands until 2008 or thereabouts.)
Don't forget the measles aspect, either.

In the labor relations world, the normal process as parties near a settlement is that the rhetoric is dialed down and signals are sent that indicate that reconciliation of differences is possible.
Parties that are truly interested in settling their differences don´t negotiate in public --- there´s no point in doing so.
Mr. Wallstein should remember that the recent concert cancellations cited in the blog posting were caused by the musicians going on strike.
In the interest of reaching a resolution of the labor dispute this weekend, I am hopeful that he either misspoke or was misquoted. There´s a third possibility, which is that he is posturing in a public forum for the benefit of his membership. If that´s the case, he forgot to signal to the Symphony organization in a private message that he was doing so.
Spokane Symphony Board President Peter Moye has posted a letter on the Spokane Symphony website at http://www.spokanesymphony.org/147.

Chappaquiddick cottage
Here's a sweet summertime cottage on Chappaquiddick Island near Edgartown, Massachusetts.
If you haven't fallen in love with the exterior – complete with "Rapunzel tower" – well, have a look inside…
This cutie is currently for sale for $459,000.
It's cozy, it's playful, it's classy and vintage – all at the same time.
Although the house isn't actually that old (built in 1973), the support post & beams give it that aged Massachusetts cottage feel.
Inside the darling sunroom:
Have a look at the calm & cool master bedroom:
So serene!
This 1,798 square foot home actually has five bedrooms, so it would be perfect for large family gatherings.
The decor throughout is bang-on summer cottage charm.
Disclosure: House Crazy Sarah's favorite colors are green, blue and purple, so I'm completely enamored with the whole house color scheme.
On the roof of the sunroom, there's a great deck with tons of space to lounge or enjoy a glass of tea…
Although this Chappy cottage isn't on the water, it is very near a couple of beaches on the famous Island. Actually it is only an island some of the time.
Chappaquiddick technically isn't an island because it is connected to Martha's Vineyard with a narrow barrier beach. So most of the time it is a peninsula. But occasionally breaches of the barrier beach happen when strong storms blow through. At those times, Chappaquiddick is in fact, an island.
So now you know.
Have a good weekend!
The New Jersey house that is being "watched"
Have you heard about this unfortunate house? It's been all over the news this past week.
If you aren't in the loop, here's a quick run-down of the situation:
This beautiful old home was for sale last year and a family with young children bought it for $1.3 million in early June, 2014. Just three days after they closed, they received the first of several menacing letters from someone claiming to be stalking the house. The letters read in part:

Each of the three cuties has been stylishly renovated. Have a look!
Take me to church!
I have been a bad girl. I haven't posted on my blog in weeks and the last post I did was on Hitler. I swore out loud at another driver yesterday and have eaten way too many cheeseburgers lately. House Crazy Sarah needs to do some penance. So let's go to church.
A church converted to a house!
