Scanning, fixing, and reporting security issues with Security Blanket
Trusted's Security Blanket lets you analyze security compliance in a few easy steps.
I don't know about you, but I spend entirely more time locking down my servers and making sure they stay locked down than I would like. At least once in the past (that I know of), one of my servers has been compromised. I failed to a) upgrade WordPress and b) ensure that my server was locked down so local access didn't allow an attacker to escalate privileges easily. The problem was not that I didn't know how to lock down my servers or have the time to do so; I just had other things to do, and trying to keep up with everything you need to do to secure a server and keep it secured is not my idea of fun.

It's all about Alison...
Did she do something to her cheeks? She doesn't look the same to me.
My posts are merely conjecture and opinion; furthermore, they have no relation to anyone living or deceased.
Getting past the expiration date relative to her actual talent. Kind of like cheese you cut the mold off .

some of the plastic surgeons should have their licenses taken away....but isn't it society that's expecting perfection?
it's really sad to see what alot of women in entertainment have done to themselves. everything from becoming skeletons to walking around with plastic blobs in their breasts.
it looks like mary either had implants or sculptura for her cheeks...hollywood is now populated by chipmunks.
In Plain Sight was a decent show. USA ratings can't have to be that high to survive.
She hasn't looked the same since 2002
But she's actually looking more herself now. She went through a "whoa! what the fuck is going on there?!?" patch, but that work has settled/been corrected.
That's an odd thing that can happen. Like with Jessica Lange. She had some bad, bad work done some years ago, but has since come back from it.
Either way, Hollywood is completely fucked.
At least they're working.
Well, not Mary anymore, but she was!

Charged to deliver an epic New England ride, something quintessential and something hard. There was only one person to call – Dick Ring.
Laugh about it. No really, have yourself a good little chuckle. But then get over it because soon enough the name Dick Ring is going to bring tremors to your legs and a pained smile to your face. Because when weeks, months, even years from now, you tell the story about how you suffered the 'rollers' of New England, 100-miles of concrete waves, hundreds of feet high, relentless, cracked and constant, tunneling through dense forests and forgotten villages, it's Dick Ring's training ride that you'll be talking about.
First, some history. Art Longsjo began his cycling career by riding from Fitchburg to Westboro, Massachusetts, an hour and a half ride, to compete in a local race series. He won the 1-mile, 3-mile and 25-mile races, and a legend was born. Art would go on to compete in the both the Winter and Summer Olympics of 1956, in speed skating and cycling respectively. Four years later, in 1960, the Fitchburg Stage Race became, in homage to a hometown hero, the Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic.
Every summer since, for the last 48 years, racers from around the country, including some of American cycling's greats like Armstrong, LeMond and Phinney, have gathered in Fitchburg, MA, to compete in New England's finest race. They don't come for the plastic lawn ornaments, the empty barber-shops and closed diners. Nor do they come for the massive, darkly broken mills, artifacts from another time and way of life. They come for the rollers made infamous by Art Longsjo and his friend, Dick Ring.
Dick and Art were fabled training partners, their epic riding style attaining a legendary status in New England. Forty years ago, Art's wife, Terry, approached Dick at the start line of the Longsjo Classic with a problem: "The announcer hasn't shown up and the race has to start in a few minutes." At the time he was a racer like the rest of us, albeit an exceptional one. But that day Dick stepped off his bike and into the announcer's booth and the rest, as they say, is history.
That brings us to a very recent Thursday afternoon when I called Dick out of the blue. I told him I was a fan, both of his and the Longsjo Classic, and I explained that I thought he was the man to help me design an incredibly hard ride, starting and ending in Fitchburg, perhaps borrowing sections from the race route. A ride with maybe a bit more distance and pain than the Classic, something epic. I heard him, ominously, smile into big inhale – "I can show you some rollers that should do the trick." I explained what the Rapha Continental project was about and made a plan to meet up with him at the New England Velodrome the following week.
Though he retired from professional announcing a few years ago, Dick can still be found at the New England Velodrome in Londonderry, New Hampshire. He volunteers there, teaching the area's youth to ride and race. So I took my track bike and notepad and headed north, for a night of racing and entertainment. Dick is known to wax poetic about the virtues of cycling, in tight banked little circles or otherwise.
"Back then, training wasn't as specific as it is now," Ring explains. "The best riders, and Longsjo was definitely one of them, just rode and rode. 150-mile jaunts weren't uncommon for us. We'd get up at the crack of dawn, eat as much food as possible, drink a bunch of coffee and set out for some town pre-determined, or not, town 40, 50, 60-miles away. We'd eat and turn around, it was that simple. The big trick was to try and make it back before dark. And let me tell you, that didn't always happen."
On the back of that night's race results, Dick scrawled out a collection of match-sprints, street names and mile markers, that when put together formed a possible route, or about four routes to be more precise. I wasn't sure at the time but I got the impression he was trying to take it easy on us. Little did I know.

Book Of Black Earth
I never know how to react to albums that make me feel the way Book of Black Earth's Horoskopus does. I recognize the competence of the players. I understand that this is some sort of death-black metal hybrid that they are attempting to play and I can assert that they are not grievously betraying either style. I would be overstating the impact this kind of band is capable of making by saying I hate this album. It's too bland.
Here's what I can say. The production is kind of sup-par because nothing is distinct or bright enough. All the players just seem to plod along at the same intensity level for the entire album. And, no, I will not allow "Christ Pathogen," the slow semi-doom metal track, to be submitted as evidence of dynamic songwriting. It's just a more arduous version of the other tracks on the album. The faster tracks, all almost entirely indistinguishable from each other, are rooted in choppy Gothenburg-style riff-writing, but only remotely-so. There's some thrash elements as well. But, again, it's completely vanilla, uncreative thrash. "Death of The Sun" follows the lethargic chord-progression to predictable semi-thrash riff, to non-descript slow part with synthesizer accompaniment in unrelenting, almost a-musical fashion. "Horoskipture" does basically the same, but on this track they swap the chugging chords for a threadbare tremolo riff. Book of Black Earth hail from Seattle, Washington. A corner of the world where good and challenging metal is made. Maybe, four or five years ago, when American metal was so poorly looked-upon by critics and educated fans, it was enough for state-side bands to get by producing albums that simply displayed an understanding of the basic tenants of more extreme styles. Not so, anymore.
I know not every band can contribute something meaningful to their respective genres. But, I would hope they could at least sound like they were trying. There cold be a few different things going on here that I need to take into account. Book of Black Earth might bear so much deference for the fundamentals of this style that they're actually afraid to embellish in any way. If that's the case, I ask, why even pick up instruments in the first place? Or, these could just be devout fans so indoctrinated in their style that they see any sort of deviation as unneeded. If that's the case, they're dead wrong there as well.
Not every band needs to be Unexpect. That would be horrifying, actually. But, what is fulfilling and satisfying about music, even death metal, is the window if offers you into the soul of the players. Book of Black Earth adhere so narrowly to genre constrictions and offer so little stylistically that their window is opaque. Not recommended.

Or work less and save the world the new report out by the Center for Economic Policy Research found that cutting our work hours by even half a percent can drastically cut down on carbon emissions -- global warming.
But could shift to European work schedule -- -- country.
Joining me now is mark Weiss brought co director of the center for economic policy and research thanks for coming on the show.
You know it's a little bit of a tough sell right now and there's so many people that are out of work -- you know between -- million people who don't make enough money.
To pay their bills to say that we -- -- even less to save the environment but let's let's give it ago.
I had about this was.
So if I work -- I don't understand where that's better for the environment because when I'm here working at my desk -- new -- -- on the computer.
I'm walking around the office when I'm not working.
I'm in a car and on -- plane going on vacation it seems like I'm using so much more energy my carbon footprint is so much bigger -- I'm not here.
Yes well let me explain first that in terms of employment.
Shorter work hours are also a solution to the unemployment problem partial solutions very important.
And in fact in Germany.
They reduced hours they have program for shorter hours and given employers of choice rather than lay people off and -- collect unemployment compensation you use those funds and others that you keep them on the job.
But when I -- -- always I don't really have -- let you go back as I don't understand how that's a solution because that is what we called the U six number in this country and that's people who are only employed part time.
And are looking for more work because they can't possibly support their family or pay their bills based on how little -- workings you're advocating for more people to work less.
That's their economic benefit that's.
Well we that well it really worked for Germany having their unemployment rate -- that's counting people are looking for work.
There unemployment rate actually fell through the recession even though they lost as much production and output you know GDP as we did.
And they actually lower the unemployment rate -- as we practically doubled -- so and short work was it was definitely a solution.
For them and it's been also.
-- -- talking past each other because I mean you're talking about people they -- they could only be earning the last.
In total wages for the -- -- and earning less -- pay their bills.
I don't know earning less even if it makes the employment number look better because -- more people are dropping out of the workforce that doesn't seem like much as of a solution how people can tell work.
People dropping out of the workforce is people working -- at least I know well.
Who they're well they're they're working fewer hours.
But there -- exactly is not their pay is not reduced by the amount that -- ours are reduced.
So it is -- and believe me -- actually -- overall is their paychecks smaller at the end of the parent and I -- I physics and question their paychecks smaller is that not.
-- but they're a lot better off than they are on the street how are you better job if you can't pay -- else.
Because when you're unemployed.
You're a lot poorer than when -- working thirty something hours -- we.
Why -- we grow the economy and increase productivity and increase GDP and then every one is better off rather than everyone having less and shrinking the -- -- -- -- -- -- I agree that's the best solution but unfortunately our congress doesn't see it that way they're more concerned.
Especially in the house about deficit reduction then they are -- growing the economy if you reduce the deficit you shrink the economy and that seems to be what you know -- No actually -- the CDO put out a report at the beginning of the show that showed exactly the opposite that if you shrink the deficit over time you grow the economy.
That's it they -- -- -- CBO is a nonpartisan group that came out didn't she had map to show exactly the opposite of what you just said.
We started our show we know that -- mark you know what we're out of time.
I would love yeah because we didn't even get to talk about what it was we were supposed to because we got so stuck on this issue.
I hope you come back we can actually do the story.
Okay thank you.

I'm no genealogist, but if you have a name that you are looking for try the online National Park Service Soldiers and Sailor system. That will give you an idea of if any of your ancestors served in a military unit. There are other people on this forum who are pretty dedicated genealogists so they can probably help you a lot more.

I always assumed that because of the family stories that have been passed down, my family was either still in Ireland, or already up in the mountains of Colorado wasting time and money looking for silver. For grins and giggles I checked out the NPS website and found 75 soldiers with my same last name. So now my question. Would paying a site like Ancestry.com be beneficial at this point, or does anybody out there have another suggestion as to how I can find some accurate family history? Thanks, Tim |

Tim: Ancestry.com used to give everyone two weeks free. Monthly memberships were also available. However, I don't think you know enough yet to use the site -- generally, you have to know at least a county and state. Step one: Talk to every elderly relative you have -- one of them might have a hint or two about where ggggdaddy and his brothers lived. Step two: Keep asking; someone will have a better idea. Step three: start with the family name and make yourself a chart of their unit and where it was mustered in. Step four: Pray you get lucky. Ole |

Thanks for the advice, Ole. Unfortunately, I am about the most elderly (wow, that's kinda hard to write) member of my family. Even twenty years ago when I would try to talk with my grandparents, they were not too knowledgeable about their own family. My grandfather was a veteran of WWI, and would flat refuse to talk about his experiences. When spending the night with my grandparents as a kid, he forbade me of watching Combat, Hogans Heroes, or any other war themed (silly or not) show. He said that anything on television was an insult to the actual horrors of war. Anyway - back to the point. I'm open to any advice as to how to put together a family tree that can take me back to the mid 1800's. Thanks! |

The best thing you can do at this point is to start with what you know and work backward. Gather as much information about your parents and their parents births, deaths, and marriages. Then once you can place them in the time at the early portion of the 1900s, you can begin to access the Federal census records to work your way back father. If you are in your 50s, then you are talking about working back 4 or 5 generations to get to the Civil War period. And yes, I would recommend Ancestry.com to get started. Kent Dorr |

Computer Vision System Toolbox |
Computer Vision System Toolbox provides a suite of feature detectors and descriptors. Additionally, the system toolbox provides functionality to match two sets of feature vectors and visualize the results.
When combined into a single workflow, feature detection, extraction, and matching can be used to solve many computer vision design challenges, such as registration, stereo vision, object detection, and tracking.
A feature is an interesting part of an image, such as a corner, blob, edge, or line. Feature extraction enables you to derive a set of feature vectors, also called descriptors, from a set of detected features. Computer Vision System Toolbox offers capabilities for feature detection and extraction that include:
Feature matching is the comparison of two sets of feature descriptors obtained from different images to provide point correspondences between images. Computer Vision System Toolbox offers functionality for feature matching that includes:
Statistically robust methods like RANSAC can be used to filter outliers in matched feature sets while estimating the geometric transformation or fundamental matrix. Applications include stereo vision, 3D reconstruction, and photo stitching applications.

It may not sound very powerful, but gay rights activist Debra Peevey said that a two-inch green button played a major role in convincing voters to legalize gay marriage this month in her home state of Washington.
"Another Person of Faith Approves R. 74," said the button, which refers to the ballot initiative that wound up legalizing gay marriage in Washington.
As faith director for the statewide pro-gay marriage campaign, Washington United for Marriage, Peevey and her team distributed 5,000 of the buttons. They were conversation starters, she said, ways of letting people know they could relate to one another on the intimate level of religion. And that being religious didn't meant you had to oppose gay marriage.
"We had people clamoring for the buttons," Peevey said. "People of faith all over the state wore them. It amplified that perspective that people of faith do, in fact, support marriage equality."
This year, voters in Washington State were joined by those in Maryland, Maine and Minnesota in handing big victories to the gay rights movement. In the first three states, voters legalized gay marriage. In Minnesota, they rejected a measure that would have banned same-sex marriage.
After watching dozens of states adopt gay marriage bans in recent years, gay rights activists hope this month's victories mark a national turning point. And to help push other states to follow suit, they are holding up efforts like Peevey's as a blueprint for how to successfully incorporate faith into future gay rights campaigns.
Some same-sex marriage proponents think their fight may move to Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Oregon or some combination of those states. Wherever the effort goes, gay rights activists say, faith will be a part of the mix.
"Faith became part of the solution and not just the problem in all four states" where gay marriage was on the ballot this year, said Sharon Groves, director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group. "We will never do a campaign moving forward where engaging people of faith will not be central part of that work."
'Be who you are, not something you are not'
For Grant Stevensen, a Lutheran pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the faith director for the campaign opposing a gay marriage ban in the state, engaging faith communities depended on framing the debate the right way.
In past gay rights ballot fights, Stevensen said, the same-sex marriage movement put "a big emphasis on civil rights language and connection to the civil rights movement." But the messaging didn't work, he said, with many people rejecting the idea of a link between civil rights for minorities and marriage rights for gays.
Instead, Stevensen and his team used words like "love," "marriage" and "commitment," in their messaging about opposing a gay marriage ban, words that he said strike at the heart of Christian beliefs about marriage. "Our goal for the whole campaign was to emphasize those themes and talk specifically about gay people," he said, "as opposed to making this another civil rights movement."
Similar campaigns in other states took different approaches.
For instance in Maryland, gay rights activists emphasized outreach to African-American churches and played up civil rights arguments.
In Maine and Washington State, enormous effort went into mobilizing lay Catholics, even if their hierarchy actively opposed the gay marriage campaigns. Stevensen's Minnesota campaign, meanwhile, targeted the state's many Lutherans.
"Be who you are, not something you are not," the pastor said, encouraging other gay rights activists to combat the stereotype that all Christians "are opposed to gay people."
The right conversation
In past ballot fights, which resulted in gay marriage bans in more than 30 states, forces opposed to same-sex marriage had dominated the faith conversation.
A faithful same-sex marriage supporter was seen as an outlier.
When Ross Murray, director of religion, faith and values at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), was asked by his bosses to be one of the lead liaisons between the four state-based gay campaigns and the national gay rights organization, he knew more emphasis than ever was going to be put on religion.
Murray advised the campaigns to ask "people to vote the value that they have been taught" and "make sure that you can reach within all religious groups and get those who have passion and have them reach their friends, neighbors and co-congregants."
That's what Stevens tried to do in Minnesota: "We were going to either own this conversation about faith and if we can't own it, no one is going to own it."
Stevensen and his eight-person faith staff trained 2,500 "conversationalists," religious people who were taught how to have conversations about gay marriage with other people of faith. They were instructed to discuss same-sex marriage in terms of their religious beliefs. The campaign offered similar training sessions to more than 500 clergy.
The two-hour-long training sessions also focused on people telling their own faith stories. If someone had once been opposed to same-sex marriage because of their religious beliefs, they were encouraged to talk about that, too.
More than anything, said Stevensen, the conversationalists were encouraged to listen.

Theorie SAGA Touch 1 1/2" Flat Iron
DebHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairTouch Temperature Lock Is GreatI don't straighten that often but the flat iron I replaced would shut off because of poor placement of the on/off switch and it got way too hot. I really don't want to fry my hair to look good. This one has a temperature control so you set to exact temperature (I use 350 degrees) and a 2 to 3 second pass over a section does a great job. It's quick and very high quality. I don't get too excited about the box it comes in...I like it for it's titanium plates and touch temperature lock. Very happy with this one!posted Mar 6, 2013Link to this post
Kathy V.Miami, FLHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairFlawless!Living in Miami, we have a lot of humidity. I used this iron before an event that took place on the beach and went through an 8-hr shift with no frizz! INCREDIBLE! I used it to both straighten and form curls. The bigger size makes for the larger curls I was looking for. Heats up SUPER fast and the touchscreen control is precise and practical. One would think a touchscreen control on the iron would constantly cause altered temperatures (the control is where your hand goes, so you would be tapping the temperatures up and down), but the control screen locks after 3 seconds of no use - BRILLIANT! Note: unlocking is simple and quick when desired. Also, it gets much hotter than other irons, which is a plus for harder to style hair!

JudithDallasCan't Live Without List!!!!Ladies, This fabulous iron is definitely on my C.L.W/O list. I am multi cultural so I have a ton of unruly curls, that are not easily managed. This iron tames my hair in minutes and it stays that way until I wash it. I travel quite a bit for work and I don't, can't and won't leave home without this iron. Theorie is obviously new to the scene but I sure am happy it has ARRIVED. I can use this iron to curl my hair as well as straighten, the results are always the same....FABULOUS. Trust me buy one and you will be very happy girls. It has the latest technology, all while looking great. Oh did I mention the lifetime warranty? Who offers that? Theorie!!! I called the company to ask a simple question, the young man that I spoke to could not have been nicer and more helpful. Theorie has it going on an every level!!!posted Feb 22, 2013Link to this post
PeggyGAHairDark BrownNormal Hair5 StarI own a GHD before I purchase this and let me tell u this iron is in another level.
This iron heats up much faster and I get my hair done in half the time, the touch screen is a nice touch. Thanks Theorie for making this iron!!posted Feb 20, 2013Link to this post -
AngHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreat Flat Iron!Folica sent me the wrong Theorie iron at first, they sent me the Saga non-touch iron, which was odd because they only sell the Touch version. So after a week or so of contacting customer service & being really confused assuming it was the Touch version.. I had to exchange it & just received the new Touch version today. It's great! for some reason it worked smoother than the non-touch & I love the lock feature & of course the adjustable temperature. I like to use my flat irons at around 320-340 but for curls I would need to go higher, with 450 being more than enough. The box it comes with/in is amazing, plus it's lifetime warranty, with 1 year warranty from Folica so I don't think it could be a better deal!posted Feb 19, 2013Link to this post
AerangelsHairAuburnDry HairThick or Coarse HairYou Will Never Know What You Missed If You Don't Own This...I love this iron! My first compliment - it heats up in seconds. Im talking like 7 or 8, and thats being generous. I am forever spoiled. Then theres the pretty box (yawn), the awesome cord that your cat would have a really hard time chewing through (yawn again). The ions that noticeably pamper your hair (hmm? say again?). Yes, its noticeable, soft and smooth on the hair, not dry, crisp and fly away like other irons where you need serums or oils after ironing your hair. Lets pull out the big guns here... the temperature remains steady. It doesnt fluctuate as you go, it constantly adjusts and heats up to maintain the setting you want. This means it takes the same amount of time from the first swipe to the last because it is at the same heat setting. Then you have 100% titanium plates. Not coated, but solid titanium (which means no scratching or peeling). This, Im guessing, is what maintains the temperatures and also makes it heat faster. And perhaps accounts for the results? Which are the best part. Im more excited about how fast it heats up, but, yes, it does have amazing results. Even at the lowest temperature. Which I think is 310 (dont quote me on that). Ive never been able to use less than 420 or so and get straight results. Even at that, I had crispy hair with a Chi. This iron is nothing less than genius. I also tried a Croc (the pink one, I wrote a review) and it too was outstanding, but this one surpassed it simply because of the ability to heat up instantly, solid titanium plates and ions. I think this one damaged my hair less overall too. I cannot say enough about this tool. If you are looking for a flat iron and have thick or normal hair, you have to at least try this. You can always return it if you find your experience is not the same as mine.
I do have one issue with this iron, maybe someone can help... when I plug it in and push the button, it gives me a funny looking code or numbers. I have to always unplug and plug in again to get it to "start" or heat up. Its on, but does not want to start. Sometimes it says touch up, sometimes it blinks or its on but in a sort of stand-by mode. I dont know what all this means. It always works on the second plug in just fine, no probs other than that. Am I having a problem with the auto shut-off or something? Do I need to send it back? Does anyone else experience this?posted Feb 11, 2013Link to this post -
Rachel E.SeattleHairMedium BrownNormal HairGreat For Fixing Humid Hair Frizz!I'm a 24 year old from the Seattle Area. I have a normal hair type and it is fairly long, but it is very sensitive to the rain, and when the drops start falling, my hair gets frizzy and messy. This Iron is a LIFESAVER! I picked it up last week after my FHI broke. It just takes one stroke and I'm on to the next section! It lasts almost ALL DAY! Its cut my styling time down so much! I can't rave enough about how Happy I am! Oh! I almost forgot, the box is To-Die-For. Wow! Thanks Theorie!posted Jan 4, 2013Link to this post
Nicole M.HairDry HairChemically Treated HairIf You Know What's Good For YouJust got this bad boy in the mail tonight! Yaaaay I LOVE it! Tested it out on my moms dry wavy hair, worked like a charm. Didn't leave frizz and pull like the Chi. Didn't dry out the hair or leave hair crispy like the Babyliss Pro. It's light weight and leaves hair silky and smooth after ONE pass. As an experienced hairstylist, I would highly recommend this product to everyone!posted Jan 2, 2013Link to this post
Ariana S.London, UKHairDark BrownDry HairI Love It!I just got it for Christmas today in the mail from my friend from Canada and I tried it out for the first time and I just love it. When you turn it on, and change it to the temperature you want, it goes to that temperature in only a few seconds! I also love the touch screen. This is the best flat iron i've ever used!posted Dec 25, 2012Link to this post
Marieanne J.CanadaHairMedium BrownNormal HairBest Flat Iron Ever Hands Down!!!I love my 1 1/2 Theorie Flat iron!!!! its programmed like an iphone with its touch screen feature, the cord is long and heat resistant, and the case is absolutely gorgeous!!! this Flat iron gets my hair looking its best if I either want it straight or curled. If you buy this flat iron you wont be sorry, after i bought it I had to go back and buy another for my mom!!!

The MATLAB Desktop development environment offers interactive editors, browsers, and other tools to help you create, edit, and manage your data and programs (Figure 1).
This article and the accompanying videos show how you can take advantage of many of these features and get the most out of the Desktop. All the examples were created using MATLAB 7.5, part of Release 2007b.
Each of us manages our desktop differently, and we often vary the desktop layout from project to project. The MATLAB Desktop makes layout customization easy. You can move or hide specific tools and then save the revised layouts for reuse. You can maximize a window to bring a particular tool into focus and then just as quickly return to the previous view.
The MATLAB Editor/Debugger provides a number of features for creating and editing MATLAB programs and scripts.
Cell mode lets you segment your program or script into sections that can be individually executed. This feature provides a convenient method for rapidly stepping through different sections of code in an interactive fashion. Each cell is denoted by the use of a "%%" at the start of a line. Preferences let you control the way cells are displayed. With cell mode you can automatically publish your code, comments, and results in HTML, Word, LaTEX, and other formats.
Delimiter matching highlights matched and unmatched delimiters, such as parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces { }, and paired language keywords (if
, while
, else
and end
statements), based on the syntax rules of the MATLAB language.
Code folding lets you hide functions that you are not working on currently, making your programs much more readable and easier to maintain.
Split screen display lets you simultaneously view different parts of a file, making it easier to compare sections of a program or to cut and paste from one section to another.
Run configurations let you run functions directly from the Editor rather than in the Command window by providing values for the function inputs in a configuration. Each function can have multiple configurations that are preserved from session to session.
Navigation features let you quickly move between large numbers of subfunctions or nested functions using the function dropdown on the toolbar within the Editor, the "Go To" dialog in the Go menu, or the Open Selection feature. This last option lets you jump from the point in your program where a function is used to the point where it is defined. You can then return to your starting point by using the Back button within the Editor toolbar.
Once you have a working program, you can use M-Lint and the Profiler to improve your code.
M-Lint analyzes your code, checking for problems and recommending changes to maximize performance and maintainability. You can configure M-Lint to provide constant visual feedback or to generate a report.
The Profiler generates a detailed summary indicating where your program is spending the most time during execution. You can use the information to tune, optimize, and debug your code.
Many users find that they work more productively when they minimize their use of the mouse. You can access virtually all MATLAB Desktop functionality without leaving the keyboard.
If you're unsure of a function, variable, or file name, simply type the first few characters of the item and then press Tab. Tab completion provides a list of options based on the characters that you've typed. If MATLAB finds a unique result, it fills it in. If the search produces more than one result, then a list of options is displayed (Figure 2). This feature works in the Command Window and in the Editor.
Turn to Quick Help if you know the name of a function but not its syntax. By positioning your cursor on the function of interest and pressing F1, you bring up the reference page for that function in a pop-up window. You can use Quick Help in the Command Window or the Editor (Figure 3).
Built-in keyboard shortcuts let you use the keyboard to perform tasks that are more commonly associated with the mouse. For example, you can:
For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts, see the MATLAB documentation.
If you need to repeat your analysis on new data or refine your analysis methods, the Desktop speeds this process by enabling you to automate previously completed work.
Rarely does a single sequence of steps provide the perfect solution. More often, a final solution is the result of trial and error. The Command History, which contains a log of the most recently run commands, makes it easy to capture the final solution. You can copy the relevant commands into a script, which can then be used to automate the interactive steps previously taken.
Shortcuts provide an easy way to repeat a small number of frequently used MATLAB commands. One popular use for shortcuts is to manage your desktop by switching between projects or clearing out your workspace. You can access the shortcuts in the Shortcuts toolbar and from the MATLAB Start button.
This article covered a subset of the many features and capabilities available with the MATLAB Desktop. More features are added with each release. "Inside the MATLAB Desktop," a blog on MATLAB Central, gives you an opportunity to learn about these features directly from the Desktop developers. We encourage you to visit "Inside the MATLAB Desktop" and the other resources listed below to ensure that you're getting the most out of your Desktop.

I bought both the sofa and the ottoman and I loved them they look great.... The only thing that I regret It's that the color was not what I was expecting... I thought it would be light gray and it turned to be beige.... Any way I was in a hurry and I did not dislike the color, it's cute and perfect size .
"I just ordered this. Perfect complement to my sofa!"
"I find the white seams a bit strange but overall it's very nice!"

What a day! My first Graze box arrived and I greedily started to tuck into all the natural tasty goodness…
Oops – had wanted to take some shots of the box before I started unwrapping it all – was like Christmas day come early! Heh heh.
It's just ideal for me, sitting at my desk wondering whether I should have that extra biscuit (damn those biscuits, I'm such a nibbler too)… I was so delighted to hear about Graze - it's a lovely thing being surprised each time with a box of all your favourite treats delivered right to your door or workplace. I'm so in love with this!
Hurrah no more bored of what to eat, Graze have created guilt-free tailor made snack-a-thons, that will help me maintain my concentration throughout the day ~ ya know ~ just grazing…
In today's box I got:
Korean Chilli Rice Crackers (simply gorgeous)
Pitted Kalamata & Amphissa Olives with Chilli, Garlic & Black Pepper (mmm my fave)
Hot Chilli Almonds (didn't think I'd like them especially but found them very moreish, will be wanting more of those please)
Milk Chocolate Coated Peanuts (err? YEAH!)
The site is super easy to use and you can bookmark your favourite treats to be sent more frequently, I think I spent far too long of my working day ogling things like the savoury snacks, fresh and dried fruit, nuts and seeds and natural treats!
Plus I hear on the grapevine (see what I did there?) they are hoping to launch graze lunches soon, which will include a fresh fruit punnet and a lunch punnet (like a Tuscan Bean Salad) Yum yum yum.
What I find the most benefical of this idea is that it really will maintain my interest, its hassle-free and perfectly portioned. I was left feeling satisfied and wonderfully content, no large bag of nuts I continually chew through unaware… graze has done the thinking for me and gave me just the right amount of everything.
I was so impressed already ordered some gift vouchers for Christmas. You will be too!! (Gawd you'd think they'd of paid me to write this, but I just think it's so fantastic and knew you'd want to know)
Paper, packaging recyclable/biodegradable, each box tailor made, nutritionally balanced, you can specify if you are looking to boost energy, balance blood sugar, sort out your immune system or lose weight… ya know? Absolutely everything a girl like me could ever wish for!!!
For your FREE graze box check out www.graze.com enter code Y4442YPW

Cut Christmas trees must be watered and kept hydrated to last through the holidays and to prevent them from becoming fire hazards. This includes small tabletop trees.
Buick Encore fits luxury amenities into small package

VIDEO: How to carve a Thanksgiving turkey
Evan Lobel of Lobel's joins Martha Stewart and actor Roger Bart and teaches how to properly carve a turkey.
Turkeys are funny-looking and tasty, but can they fly?
Turkeys are an ungainly mess of a bird. Their bodies appear too big for their scrawny legs, and they are pocked with all manner of bizarre anatomical structures, including snoods (fleshy bumps on their foreheads) and a dewlap (that distinctive flappy wattle under its neck). But amazingly, the bird - at least in its wild form - can fly.

Build Sample Part With Geometry
The GEOMETRY sample program demonstrates how to construct a product structure with an empty shape representation to hold some geometry. This program builds all of the STEP backbone entities that go into creating a product with geometry.
This structure is common to all of the STEP application protocols. Depending on the AP, the product may also need some configuration management information, like a design owner, approvals, category, etc. For simplicity, we do not create any of that in this sample, but a real application would.
This program creates the data set and saves it as a STEP Part 21 file called "output_file.stp". This is a text file, so you can look at it with a text editor or the STEP Part 21 file browser to see how the information is represented.
Build Instructions
In the list above, select your Visual Studio version or platform, then right click on the link to save the zipped project files to your local disk. Unpack the zipfile.
On Windows, open the enclosed project file with Visual Studio and compile the program by selecting "Build All". The project creates a Console application that you can run from the command line. When using the 64bit version of ST-Developer, change the platform from "win32" to "X64" in the Visual Studio Configuration Manager before building.
On MacOS, Linux, and other Unix systems, the project directory contains a makefile that builds the sample program. The makefile uses the ROSE, ROSE_INCLUDE, and ROSE_LIB environment variables described in the ST-Developer installation notes. Compile the program by typing "make".
The Windows projects also include a makefile that you can use by typing "nmake", but you must run vcvars32.bat (found in the Visual Studio C++ bin directory) to make sure that the C++ compiler is in the command line search path.
