Sharapova has struggled with her serve this week and had 12 double-faults in the final on Court Philippe Chatrier. But she was able to hold off Halep, and hold her serve in the final game, with steady groundstrokes that kept the Romanian on the run.
Sharapova also won the title at Roland Garros in 2012, completing a career Grand Slam. She lost in last year's final to Serena Williams.
Halep, who was ranked only 57th heading into last year's French Open, was playing in her first major final.

Politics The Path to 9/11: The Latest
The New York Times reports that ABC/Disney is now re-editing certain scenes in the movie, while the same paper's television critic seems unmoved by liberal complaints about the film. (Think Progress picks apart the review here.)
The Washington Post, in an article reprinted in today's Seattle Times, ticks off the descriptors that former Clinton administration officials are using to describe the movie. Madeleine Albright: "False and defamatory." Sandy Berger: "Flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." Bruce Lindsey: "Unconscionable."
A Houston Chronicle editorial accuses ABC of fabricating history.
And Liberal bloggers today are targeting Disney board member and Apple CEO Steve Jobs, trying to get him to stop distribution of the film over I-Tunes. They're also targeting George Mitchell, Disney's Chairman of the Board; lower level phone-answerers at ABC and Disney; and Disney CEO Robert Iger. And, they're urging people to sign the DNC's petition calling on Iger to yank the film (the petition collected more than 100,000 signatures in its first 24 hours and is to be delivered to Iger today).
Meanwhile, Variety is hearing hints of a "bombshell":
"The Path to 9/11" is looking a lot like "The Reagans, Part II."
Bill Clinton loyalists are demanding wholesale changes to the upcoming miniseries — and while ABC is making some snips, the alterations, insiders say, may not please the Dems.
But a bombshell decision may happen anyway: Sources close to the project say the network, which has been in a media maelstrom over the pic, is mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether.

Ferrari engine served Sunny side up
Some auto enthusiasts happened to be walking past their local Nissan dealer and were surprised to see a Ferrari badge peaking out at them from a crumpled wreck in the corner of the shop. On closer inspection they noticed the car was a complete write-off, but that it was also missing its drivetrain. Then they noticed a group of five mechanics huddled around a sporty looking Sunny (Sentra) on the other end of the garage. You can probably guess what they found when they sauntered over for a closer look. The newly-mid-engine Nissan Sunny has had quite a power upgrade. With twice as many cylinders and roughly 380 hp to play with, this F355-engined pocket rocket should be quite a wild ride. We hope they add a little rear ventilation in the extreme makeover. Revenge of the '80s, it's the return of the killer Bs.

Storm Shuts 78% of Gulf Oil Output, 48% of Gas, U.S. Says
About 78 percent of oil production and 48 percent of natural gas output from the Gulf of Mexico has been shut in as Tropical Storm Isaac approaches, a Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement report today showed.
About 1.08 million barrels of oil a day were curtailed as of 12:30 p.m. East Coast time, the bureau said today on its website. That compares with 333,815 barrels yesterday. About 2.17 billion cubic feet of gas per day have been shut in, compared with 371 million yesterday.
Personnel have been evacuated from 346 platforms, or 58 percent of the manned platforms in the Gulf. Companies have evacuated employees from 41 rigs, or 54 percent of the rigs operating in the Gulf, the report showed.
Tropical Storm Isaac, with top sustained winds of 65 miles (105 kilometers) per hour, was 280 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River, according to a National Hurricane Center advisory at 2 p.m. East Coast time. The storm was moving northwest at 14 miles per hour and is poised to make landfall south of New Orleans on Aug. 29, the advisory said.
The Gulf accounts for 23 percent of U.S. oil output and 7 percent of natural gas production.

Apple Rehab Sport and Spa
A lovely spa..the staff is very nice and welcoming.The prices are good. I have already made my next appointment.
March 13, 2011
AMAZING Service by Talented Professionals
I had a spa night for myself and three co-workers at Apple. The spa services were above and beyond our expectations! We had the evening catered by Carmen Anthony's. I just cannot say enough good things about this spa. I have been there for facials and massages in the past as well. This staff truly is as good as any five star spa I have been to. Certainly the best local spa. I highly recommend.
February 21, 2011
Great place to pamper yourself!
I took my daughters to the spa for a mother-daughter day and we all had facials and massages & then went to lunch. The staff at the spa were so welcoming and friendly. I had a great massage. My therapist was able to locate lots of tight musles and loosen them with accupressure. I also had the organic facial and the products used are all natural and just heavenly. My skin looked younger immediately and my technician had a great touch. Very relaxing and so nice and warm. Everything was heated. Loved it. We will be back! So good to have this done in the winter when your skin needs the hydration and your soul needs to relax.
February 17, 2011
Excellent Service
The staff here are extremely knowledgeable, friendly & professional. I went recently with my partner for a Valentine's Day massage complete with champagne & chocolate covered strawberries! It was not only a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere, but they also addressed my aches & pains with just the right amount of pressure!
February 14, 2011
Pleasantly Surprised
With little expectations for our first massage, my Fiancée and I decided to give the couples massage a try at Apple sport and spa for Valentines day. This was one of the best decisions we ever made. From start to finish the experience was beyond expectations. Chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, the works. The massage was magic. Even after the entire hour we were both sad it was over. Do yourself a favor and spoil yourself at Apple. Its worth it.
February 4, 2011
The best massage experience ever!
The staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish. I was delighted to be able to schedule an appointment the same day that I called. When I arrived, I was greeting by the massage therapist, Xenia. She listened to me and addressed the areas that were causing me pain. I left feeling wonderful and relaxed. My experience at Apple Rehad could not have been better. I've already scheduled my next massage and am looking forward to going there again!
February 3, 2011
Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! Very peaceful and quiet, and smells wonderful. I was offered tea after checking in which was a lovely touch. The therapist was there right away to greet me. Each member of the staff is extremely friendly and professional. The experience left me thinking, who could ask for anything more in a spa? Will definitely be booking again in the near future!
February 3, 2011
Wonderful Spa and Therapeutic menu!
With my Spa Finder card I was able to locate this spa for a wonderful deep tissue massage. From the moment I walked in the door, I was soothed with and treated with the utmost professionalism. I sipped hot tea during my short wait in a nicely lit, calming sitting area and then had one of the best massages of my life! This Spa also provides therapy services! During my pregnancy, I was able to have therapy with a wonderful Occupational Therapist/Hand Specialist for carpel tunnel syndrome. She worked wonders! After I broke my hand, again, I was able to have my Occupational Therapy appointments in this wonderful, state of the art, yet spa like atmosphere. There is more than meets the eye in this spa! I HIGHLY recommend it to all of my family/friends for the spa and therapeutic menu of items. I cannot wait until my next visit for a facial.
February 2, 2011
Great Experience!
I am not a regular Spa guy, but Apple Rehab Sport and Spa made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The atmosphere is very inviting and not intimidating at all. The staff focused on making me relaxed from the moment I entered. I received a great gentleman's facial and massage. Both were outstanding. I am sure to visit again.
January 31, 2011
Great Experience
Very easy to make appointment. Loved the Pampered Pairs, cannot beat the price and the massage therapist and esthetician were both very good. Would highly recommend!
January 25, 2011
Pleasant and professional staff. Calm and clean atmosphere...would highly recommend for any spa treatment and will definitely schedule more treatments for myself.

Super Bowl = $uper Buck$

Source Newsroom: University of Alabama

Newswise — Super Bowl ads are arguably more of a pull for viewers than the game, and the cost of an advertising spot reflects that.
Dr. Lance Kinney, University of Alabama associate professor of advertising, can comment on why some brands choose to pay those big bucks and other strategies behind Super Bowl advertising.
Kinney's major research area is sports event sponsorship, which translates to using sporting events as advertising and selling platforms. His research works on the questions: Why does a brand want to associate with an event? How does the brand select events? What can the brand expect from the association? What does it mean for sports?

I enjoyed the game, but it really tested my endurance. I would get tired just trying to figure out all the Fal'Cie mumbo jumbo. I felt that this game had something to say to me, but it was lost through all the bad drama and bad story telling throughout the game. There weren't many memorable moments and I never had that driving feeling of what happens next. The level design felt like a joke for the first 20 hours of game play. They were extremely linear. The RPG is strong with vari...1 out of 2 found this review helpful.

Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it! (Linus Torvalds)
That was a long time ago (well... 1996!). Backup demands have changed. But I feel user's needs have not been really addressed in mainstream since then.
Problem description
If you think more about what kind of backup is really needed, two main points come to your mind: Your datastore should be
- redundant
- versioned
Redundancy is easy; RAID creation with mirroring contents on another disk is relatively simple.
On the other hand, it would be nice if everything is versioned - that means with RAID-1 only if you accidentially delete a file, it is gone on all disks which might not be the desired effect.
This is the point where most people tend to search for backup solutions. I have to admit, I really have tried a lot of solutions for the linux desktop, but they didn't really satisfy me (the whole set of problems appeared: too slow, buggy, project discontinued, extreme discomfort, corrupted snapshots, ...).
The next logical step is, if you are able to let mirroring happen in background without any trouble, the analogy to versioning is not that far away. The problem is, current filesystems (that means those with greater marketshare - not niché or research projects) are not capable of that.
The Question:
Is it a feasible challenge for todays advanced linux user to set up a redundant and versioned filesystem as a datastore intentioned for everyday use, mainly home and office?
This question should give the opportunity for discussion as well as solution proposals. Solution proposals might involve aspects like comfort, price, simplicity, usability, etc.
Detailed question from the point of view of an unexperienced person:
I've read mainly the Wikipedia article about ZFS. What is the current state of the project and would it be a suitable solution according to my question? Alternatives?
Before I forget: when I think of linux, Ubuntu comes to mind because of personal background.
Thank you in advance for your answers!

My boyfriend and I didn't hate this but we didn't really love it either. We both thought it was rather bland; I sprinkled dried powdered ginger, salt, and extra red pepper flakes on mine and still thought it was missing something. Only thing we did differently was to use extra vegetable broth instead of rice wine/sherry, perhaps that was the problem.
I thought that this would be too vinegary, its got a little kick too it, but its not offensive. I added some onions and mushrooms to the stirfry which added a little something extra, but I wish there was more sauce to cover some of the rice. Maybe a little seasame oil to the sauce after cooking would brighten the flavor. Thank you very much for posting. Will make again.

2D Character Animation
All animators must learn to walk before they can run. In 2D Character Animation, industry expert George Maestri teaches the basic principles every animator must know to build a foundation for more complex work. These principles are relevant regardless of software used or animation style. George explains how good animation depends on a firm knowledge of the laws of motion, which inform the principles of animation. He teaches the basics of creating characters, squash and stretch, pose-to-pose animation, walking and running, track reading, and dialogue animation. He also shows how to use After Effects and Flash to apply the tools learned in the course. Exercise files accompany this course.
- Creating character joints that really work
- Building with the Puppet tool in After Effects
- Understanding internal versus external forces in movement
- Reading tracks and assigning mouth shapes for dialogue
- Setting up a scene in both After Effects and Flash
- Subject:
- 3D + Animation

(upbeat piano music) - Hi, I'm George Maestri, and welcome to 2D Character Animation. Before an animator touches a computer, they should know the basic principles of animation. How characters move, how they walk, and how they talk. In this course, I'll show you how to design and create characters for animation, starting with pencil and paper, and then in the computer. I'll show you how to make joints that work, and create multiple parts for replacement animation. After that, we'll look at Newton's laws of motion and how those laws create the principles of animation, such as squash and stretch, overlap, and follow through.
And also show you how to get a character walking and running. Then we'll move on to dialogue animation, including how to read soundtracks, rules for assigning mouth shapes, and the basics of acting to dialogue. We'll use both Flash and After Effects for creating character walks, and lip sync animation in each of those applications. So, if you're ready, let's get started with 2D Character Animation.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -Mexico made the offer to help Texas get through an ice storm that forced rolling blackouts.
But now, it's finding that it needs that electricity to deal with severe cold temperatures within Mexico.
Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission also says the below-freezing temperatures in northern Mexico have affected the generating capacity of some of its plants.
Forecasters say the wind chill near the border with El Paso, Texas, could reach four degrees below zero. They say the cold front could send snow into other border cities.

I want to save the contents of a ComboBox to a file. The code below correctly shows a MessageBox with "Marker 4" (the text in the ComboBox), but the saved file contains "03038D8C" instead of "Marker 4", I guess this is the memory address of the variable or something similar? How can I correctly output the "Marker 4"-string to the file?
private: System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox^ cmbMarker;
private: System::String^ strMarkerText;
strMarkerText = this->cmbMarker->Text;
ofstream myfile;
WIN32_FIND_DATA data;
pin_ptr<const wchar_t> wname = PtrToStringChars(strMarkerText);
FindFirstFile(wname, &data);
::MessageBox(0, wname, L"Marker inserted", MB_OK);
myfile <<"=====MARKER '" << wname << "' INSERTED AT " << datetime << " =====" << endl;
[There may be more than this wrong with this snippet, I'm not from a C++/CLI background but appreciate your help! There are no compiler errors and the code runs fine except for the issue described above, i.e. that not the cleartext-string-contents are written to the file ("Marker 4"), but "03038D8C".]

Jets Nation Recap: Jets collapse late again and bring another WTF moment
Garret Hohl
April 20 2015 11:11PM
De ja vu.
Seriously? Seriously?
No team should be leading this often yet lose three games in a row. What's going on here.
Lee Stempniak opened the scoring, only to have Cam Folwer tie. The second saw five goals in total. Corey Perry and Jakub Silfverberg scored for the Anaheim Ducks. Tyler Myers, Blake Wheeler, and Bryan Little scored for the Winnipeg Jets.
The Jets only needed to stay ahead by one goal... but they did not. Ryan Kesler tied it with 2 minutes and 14 seconds remaining, and Rickard Rakell delivered the killing blow in overtime.
Let's break it down.
Claiming An Identity

It's going to be pandemonium.
There will be 15,016 seats filled to capacity and 100,000 stories of being at the first Playoff Game in Winnipeg since 1996. When the Playoffs return to Winnipeg tonight for the first time in 19 years the MTS Centre is going to have its structural integrity tested like never before.
Playoff Preview - Game 3: Jets return home hungry for victory against Ducks
Angelo Montilla
April 20 2015 10:33AM
The Jets will need a little extra push on Monday night as they look to claw back from a 2-0 deficit in their first-round series against the Ducks.
"There's a long history of down 2-0, feeling pretty down about yourself, and coming back and winning the series," Maurice told CBC News. "These have been tight, tight games and we just need to find a little more of that confidence that will keep us moving quick through 60 minutes."
Maurice is right, the games have been tight. But what has separated the two teams so far is the Jets' inconsistency and the inability to stop the Ducks' big guns — Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.
Let's take a look at how Game 3 will break down.
Adjustment Needed For Jets
Jeremy Wiebe
April 19 2015 05:52PM
Let's cut to the chase right off the bat. The Winnipeg Jets are in a hole. Being down 2-0 isn't insurmountable, but the Jets would have much preferred coming back to Manitoba with a split against the Anaheim Ducks. It didn't happen so the Jets come back from Orange County empty-handed.

Heart Failure Health Center
Heart Failure Overview
In this article
Heart failure affects about 5 million Americans. Roughly 550,000 people are diagnosed with heart failure each year. It's the leading cause of hospitalization in people older than 65.
What Is Heart Failure?
Heart failure doesn't mean the heart has stopped working. It means the heart is less able to pump blood through the heart and body, and pressure in the heart goes up. As a result, the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
The chambers of the heart may respond by stretching to carry more blood to pump through the body. They may become more stiff and thickened. This helps to keep the blood moving for a while, but in time, the heart muscle walls may weaken and would be unable to pump as strongly.
The kidneys respond by causing the body to retain water and sodium. If water builds up in the arms, legs, ankles, feet, lungs, or other organs, the body becomes congested, and congestive heart failure happens.
What Causes Heart Failure?
Heart failure is caused by many conditions that damage the heart, including:
Coronary artery disease . Also called CAD, this is a disease of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. It decreases blood flow to the heart muscle. If the arteries become blocked or very narrowed, the heart becomes starved for oxygen and nutrients and can't pump as well.
Heart attack . This may happen when a coronary artery becomes suddenly blocked, stopping the flow of blood to the heart muscle and damaging it. All or part of the heart becomes cut off from its supply of oxygen. A heart attack can damage the heart muscle. This leaves a scarred area that doesn't function properly, causing your heart to not work as well.
Cardiomyopathy . Damage to the heart muscle. Causes include artery or blood flow problems, infections, and alcohol and drug abuse. Other diseases or genetic issues can cause them, as well. Make sure your doctor knows your family's health history.
Conditions that overwork the heart. Things like high blood pressure, heart valve disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or heart defects present at birth can cause heart failure. It can also happen if you have several conditions at once.

Which front-end tool/framework is suitable/practical if you have a JSP, Java back-end?
Jquery or GWT?
just got confusion. some of my jquery ajax calls won't output a response in the front end.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
GWT can help you to build front end website, it also can build back end serivce. e.g. You built a web widget with GWT which makes AJAX calls to the GWT service. GWT's output is javascript, HTML and CSS for front end, of course you can utilize some JQuery features within GWT and it can be implemented as native method within Java. For AJAX, GWT has already got a set of features to allow you to make efficient calls to the back end. This provides best performance if you build the back end with GWT service. On the other hand, you can also use GWT to call the services built by JSP without any problem.
For JSP, I'd stick with JQuery since these two are really independent, it is like JQuery to PHP. In contrast, GWT has more integration done on both ends and it encapsulates something that you might want to learn by yourself.
For me, GWT is more suited to "applications", meaning they're one-page. Like GMail really. It doesn't work so well with page transitions (imho).
I wrote some thoughts on Why isn't Google Web Toolkit more popular?
I'm a huge fan of jQuery. I really like the rapid turnaround you can get with jQuery (vs slow GWT compiles).
It's hard to give you any particular recommendation though without knowing specifics about your requirements and what you're developing.
It really depends on how complex the front end is - and how nicely the backend data can be transferred to the front end.
to me, if you have a jsp based app, it would seem like there are plenty of page transitions, and thus gwt isnt quite as good a fit as jquery.
having said that, may be it is possible to not use page transitions, but make the app a single monolithic page with gwt. that way, you might make the user experience better. it really depends on the app tho. if you provided more information about the nature of the app, a better answer can be given.
I've been thinking about this lately, so I present my thoughts:
GWT is best suited to a web application with complex UI logic. You don't need it if you want to show a simple few page site with minimal interactions. For that GWT is overkill, so use some basic jQuery.
However, if you need very high UI complexity, then writing all that JS, unit testing it, and optimizing it for browsers is a major PITA. The strict typing and compilation of GWT will save you from debugging nightmares where some JS type coercion you never thought possible bites you. Of course, you can do things like run Quake in your browser with GWT C++->Java->JS conversion which would be impossible without GWT.
As noted, compilation times for GWT scale with the size of the site. If you want 100 screens with 20 browser permutations, it will take a while to build the whole thing, so break that out into several projects. Using this approach and Super DevMode you can rebuild in seconds.
A final note: complex JSP sites can be a major pain too. I've been on projects where those 500+ xml/jsp files were a nightmare too, so whatever you do, plan for complexity as it truly limits web apps.

Great theme, couple of questions as I get started though –
1. how do I left justify the homepage text in the main block?
2. How do I make the text a bit smaller?
3. can I remove one of the widget blocks so there are only 2, 1 that is 1/3 and the other is 2/3 of the space?

Photo Details
The photo caption says Portland Union Station, 1922. I'm pretty sure this is Portland Oregon because they lived on the west coast. L to R: George Benning (my grandfather), holding my aunt Lois, Arthur Wilson, David MacBeth, and Robert MacBeth, David's father. (The last identification is tentative, there is a question mark next to it) The MacBeth/Wilson connection is through George's first wife, "Duffy" Wilson Benning, Lois's mother. George married again and had my mother so I have no information on the side of the family that is pictured.

By By Master Sgt. JOELAca,!E+LOCKLEAR 5th Bn, 25th FA, 4th BCT, 10th Mtn DivJuly 20, 2009
FORT POLK, La. -- July started like most previous ones here -- 92 degrees and 92 percent relative humidity. A lovely summer day in central Louisiana as noncommissioned officers from 5th Battalion, 25th Field Artillery Regiment gathered for an early-morning challenge at the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk obstacle course near Georgia Avenue, July 1.
This was not just a standard physical-training session for participants: Noncommissioned officers assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery and Batteries A and B. Intended to build esprit de corps, the event was the brainchild of Command Sgt. Maj. Sheon Alderman, battalion command sergeant major, 5th Bn, 25th FA.
"I want to build cohesion among the junior and senior leaders in the battalion," explained Alderman. "It will help identify weaknesses, and here we can face those weaknesses."
Attack those weaknesses they did. The Red Leg NCOs of 5th Bn, 25th FA assaulted the obstacle course with intensity and fervor. All eight obstacles fell into these leaders' gun sights, and the course never stood a chance to defeat its challengers.
"I really had a good time. I did not think I would make it on all the obstacles, but I did," said Staff Sgt. John Padilla, Btry A. "This was a great event".
At the end of the artillerymen assault, the obstacle course knew what it felt like to be the impact area of 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division's Red Legs. The event lasted for two hours; after the dust settled, 5th Bn., 25th FA NCOs seemed a little wiser and a lot stronger.
"Motivation and participation from the entire battalion was excellent," expressed Sgt. Randy Russell. "I cannot wait to do this again. We had a blast"
As battalion NCOs continue to transition from reset into daily duties of preparing artillery Soldiers for future combat, their recent, early morning rendezvous with JRTC and Fort Polk's obstacle course will not likely be forgotten.

New South Park game inbound for 360
A second South Park game is in development exclusively for Xbox 360, according to a Joystiq report.
The game will bring to an end a two game exclusivity deal with Microsoft with the series, the first being Let's Go Tower Defense in 2009.
"Right now, South Park is actually in a first-party deal with Microsoft Studios, who published the first game, and they're doing a second game as well," said 345 Games' Prithvi Virasinghe. 345 is making a game based on fellow Comedy Central IP Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon.
"After [the second game launches], that first-party exclusivity window expires, and we get a shot of taking that back."
It's going to be a sequel to the amazing South Park Rally. Right?

According to the National Institutes of Health, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is normal; 25 to 29.9 is overweight; and 30-plus is obese. To calculate yours, visit Department of Health and Human Services. But take heart. Modest weight loss — 5 to 15 percent of total body weight — greatly reduces risk factors for these ailments.
Sleep apnea Nine percent of overweight women get sleep apnea, compared with 1 to 4 percent of normal-weight women. Each unit increase in BMI over 30 increases your risk fourfold.
Headache Obese women have a 30 percent higher risk of developing chronic headaches.
Macular degeneration, cataracts Overweight and obese women are more than twice as likely to develop eye diseases.

Does anyone know the criteria for a WordPress site to get listed on the Google Blog search results?
My accountant site is currently blocking feeds in its robots.txt as per SEO recommendations to reduce duplicate content - I wonder if that is the reason it's not listed in the google blog search when it's doing great in the main Google search results - including page 1 position 3 when you search on 'accountancy blog'.
Anyone know how to get listed on Google Blogs?
PS: I am pinging the following list for each new blog, so it's not like I am hiding!

I'm running windows 7 ultimate x86 and when I look at my display options I see that my monitor has the number '2' while the TV has '1'. This also means that my monitor is the 'projector' and TV is the 'monitor' in the Display Presentation Mode (Windows Key + P).
I tried to unplug the HDMI cable (TV) and restart the PC. Doing so, the monitor is '1' and TV is '2' after being plugged in. It only lasts until a restart occures. After restart, the monitor is '2' again.
How to fix it? Thank you

Hello everyone,
I was wondering, is it possible to make the ranks on profiles visible for everyone while keeping the balance of the person private?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
Kind regards.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering, is it possible to make the ranks on profiles visible for everyone while keeping the balance of the person private?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
Kind regards.
You can set the visibility for users balances on the myCRED > Settings page under the BuddyPress tab. Make sure "Members can view each others token balance." is not checked.
You can set the rank visibility under "Ranks" on the same page.
Hello Gabriel,
I have done that.
My current settings are:
Under myCRED > Settings > BuddyPress: I already had the "Members can view each others token balance" unchecked.
At Settings > Ranks > Public : (checked this box)
If you want to create a template archive for each rank, you must select to have ranks public. Defaults to disabled.
It only shows the ranks when the members can view each others token balance.
But I want the ranks to be shown without other members view the token balance.
Please let me know how I can solve this problem.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Making Ranks Public has nothing to do with visibility.
If enabled, the custom post type "Ranks" will have an archive and you will be able to display all available ranks on your website. If disabled, ranks will not have an archive and with that, users will not see all ranks.
Note that I am talking about the post type archive and not what rank a user has.
If you visit the myCRED website, I have enabled Ranks to be public, which means that you can view all ranks you can have on our website by visiting http://mycred.me/members/ranks/.
Now, myCRED can either show each users rank only to the user (and admin) or to other members. myCRED will NOT show users ranks to visitors (non members). You would need to add this yourself by hooking into BuddyPress or WordPress and show the rank in the appropriate place.
To show a users rank you simply use the mycred_get_users_rank function which by default shows the users rank name but you can also use it to show the rank.
Here is an example of inserting a users rank in their BuddyPress profile header:
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'show_users_rank_in_header' );
function show_users_rank_in_header() {
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
if ( mycred_exclude_user( $user_id ) ) return;
$rank_name = mycred_get_users_rank( $user_id );
echo 'Rank: ' . $rank_name;

Alcohol blamed in Killington crashJanuary 28,2014Alcohol is blamed
in Killington crash
KILLINGTON Vermont State Police say a Massachusetts man was still drunk from a bachelor party the night before when he rolled his car off Roaring Brook Road on Saturday.
Timothy Nelligan, 27, of Quincy, Mass., wasnt injured in the crash which took place at around 11 a.m. Saturday, but state police who responded to the crash say they determined Nelligans blood-alcohol content was more than the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Nelligan was charged with drunken driving and giving false information to a police officer. He was taken to the Rutland jail where he was incarcerated on $5,000 bail.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

I must say, it's fun to walk into a concert hall with no expectations.
On Tuesday night, I entered Kilbourn Hall with my fashionable friend Carin, a notebook, and two kids: I told my children to sit wherever they wanted to and draw pictures. They hopped up to the back row.
We went to hear Ossia (pronounced "oh-SEE-ah"), the student contemporary music group based at the Eastman School with a time-honored tradition of omnivorous, unpredictable programming.
Welcome to singers' paradise!
Click here to read my essay on choral music published in Rochester's City newspaper, November 28.
Tomorrow . . . adrift on the sea of Ossia.
Movies, radio, satellite, PBS, and now . . . pay per view.
Starting in January, The Metropolitan Opera will offer pay per view through a deal with In Demand. Read more here:
On another operatic note, Bryant Manning, a music stringer at the Chicago Sun-Times and Time Out Chicago sent an e-mail to the NEA Fellows I met in New York last month. He writes:
"Yesterday I interviewed the Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and
he voluntarily brought up Renee Fleming. When we were in NY, Ms.
Fleming was lambasted by some as a terrible and overrated singer. So
for entertainment purposes, I thought *some* of you might be surprised
he said this:
Maybe I'm too scattered to concentrate on reading a novel. Maybe I'm becoming too obsessed by blogging. Maybe I'm going through a phase. Whatever the case, I've been reading a lot of short stories lately, flipping through Anne Panning's new collection Super America and the new anthology edited by Stephen King, The Best American Short Stories 2007.
Writer Anne Panning speculates that since we usually expect novels to end on a happy note, short stories provide a vehicle for loneliness and bleakness in a way that novel can't.
The thought crossed my mind the other day when I picked up the November 19th New Yorker and started reading Antonya Nelson's engrossing short story, "Or Else."
How do ticket sales and attendance figures for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra compare with those of other orchestras? Find out at this link:
On the topic of classical music at the Flipside Bar, cellist Diego Garcia described his experience playing in the chamber group Quartsemble in this beautiful way:
This Sunday morning, all across America, hundreds of thousands of professional musicians rolled out of bed, got dressed, and headed for church. I was one of them. I've played the organ and directed the choir in an Episcopal church for five years.
Christmas Eve will be my last service.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me back up and tell you a bit about my experience as a professional musician in a small town.
First of all, I never quite shook the sensation that I was playing a part in a Thornton Wilder play. Once, while I was practicing for a funeral, a woman I knew from high school walked in, her arms full of flowers.
A few weeks ago, I got the chance to interview two Rochester music writers on a live call-in radio show, 1370 Connection Arts Friday.
If you click on the link below, you can hear classical and jazz critic Anna Reguero tell the story of how free pizza changed her life. Anna writes for the Rochester, New York daily, the Democrat and Chronicle. You'll also hear City newspaper's Frank DeBlase offend our listeners almost right off the bat with the term "blue-hairs." (He later gets the chance to apologize to an irate caller.) Frank writes for City, Rochester, New York's alternative newsweekly.
The future of the CD . . . classical, jazz, rock, and rockabilly . . . analyzing music clips . . . I find this all entertaining, and I hope you think it's interesting, too.
A few days ago I wrote about running with Steve Reich's minimalist music on my iPod.
The American composer wrote back. He said,
"Tell Brenda I read her blog and am glad she runs to my music. That's a good use for it. She also points out how classical music doesn't keep a steady beat and is no good for running. Well, tell her that's true for Brahms, Mahler and many other romantic composers of the 19th century, but she should give J.S. Bach a shot. Something as easy to find as the Brandenburg Concertos. He - if correctly played - certainly keeps a steady beat and would seem like a natural joy to run to.
All the best,
* * * * *
Dear Steve,
It wasn't earth shattering, but it was mildly surprising.
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra switched the positions of the cellos and violas the other night. The cellos are now sitting in the center of the orchestra between the violins and violas, and the violas are closest to the audience on the conductor's right side.
"[Pinchas] Zukerman had the Orchestra sit that way when he guest-conducted here," Music Director Christopher Seaman explained via e-mail. "The string principals and I thought it would be worth trying again. The Cleveland Orchestra sits that way (I think), [and so does] the Baltimore Symphony, the Melbourne Symphony (Australia), Columbus Symphony, and many others."
Seaman added, "No seating is perfect for every section or all repertory."
If someone asked you to give up music for a day, would you? Could you?
Writer and former rock star Bill Drummond wants you to try. Tomorrow, if possible. He's declared Wednesday, November 21st "No Music Day."
His point? To get us to think about the unwanted, sometimes-god-awful music we're forced to hear in public places such as lobbies, restaurants, and shared office spaces. His point is to get us to listen mindfully.
To support Drummond's mission, BBC Radio Scotland will eliminate all music November 21st, including the short clips before the news. Thousands of people have promised to live in silence for the day on the No Music Day Web site, http://www.nomusicday.com/home.html.

To the Editor.
—Dr Lundberg's fifth, and most recent, Editorial1 calling for a ban of boxing compels me to reply to 2 major areas of concern: factual and philosophical.I understand and share Dr Lundberg's abhorrence of violence and of needless injury and suffering inflicted on any members of our society. I also believe, however, that as physicians we must be extremely careful not to let our own prejudices and moral stances lead us to unfounded or poorly supported actions. One only needs to recall the abject failure of Prohibition to understand how a "morally right" stance can lead to a "pragmatically wrong" solution. Furthermore, asking physicians to call for the ban of boxing because it is "morally wrong" may be setting a dangerous precedent. What is the next morally wrong activity that we should try to ban? Perhaps abortion, or gay lifestyles, or birth control, or the possession

Casey Corr Prediction
The once-crowded Conlin race will dwindle down to just Miller V. Conlin as Casey Corr (whose poll numbers suck, by the way) jumps into the Jan Drago race. Corr will play up an anti-Monorail position, which will have traction against pro-Monorail Drago. Being anti-monorail will also help Corr combat his image as Mayor Nickels's boy.

Air Transat vs Storm Cloud
April 21st, 2010
Back in July 2008 I was taking a break from work and went out on the roof of my office building with my camera. Little did I know there would be a huge storm cloud looking East which was almost in the path of airplanes attempting to land.

Croatian Boat
March 3rd, 2010
This shot was taken near Trogir in Croatia, not far from Split. This hidden shore was a little paradise, with a good restaurant beside it. An hour later the sky was spoiled with a thunder storm.

Joshua Tree
February 16th, 2010
Palm Springs, California isn't only for golfers and rich people! There is a lot to see around it, like Joshua Tree National Park. But be careful, it can be extremely hot down there! This was taken in the park along the scenic route. They are very unique trees indeed!

Cotonwood Road
February 9th, 2010
The only road that connects byway 12 to Page, Arizona. It's an impressive dirt road which never ends, or so it seems. And here I had no idea I was a couple minutes from a nice paved highway, but I had to stop and glance at the moon-like landscape behind me.

Byway 9
January 11th, 2010
This road is one of the most spectacular roads you can drive on in the States. It takes you in and out of Zion National Park. This was on our (my brother and I) way out of the park, in the mid-afternoon, during the 2009 Fall season.

Very Large Array
January 3rd, 2010
The Very Large Array is a space observatory that converts electric signals from space into images, but doesn't really "listen" to space like the movie Contact makes us believe. It is an impressive site to visit! I thought a duotone was appropriate here as the sky was overcast with a haze.

December 27th, 2009
On Navajo land, this is one of the many monuments that you can see when visiting the park. Since I was a kid I have always wanted to visit because I grew up with John Wayne. But more recently after I purchased my Sony PS3 and played the intro of Motorstorm on my plasma screen. But nothing beats the real thing!

December 13th, 2009
Located in South Utah, this geologic wonder is only accessible through a dirt road called Cottonwood Rd. I was alone when I took this photo, no other tourists around and it was very peaceful, with the sound of the wind and birds only.

Navajo Land
December 11th, 2009
Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA. This land like the title says belongs to the Navajo nation. With the help of a Navajo guide, you can visit the lower and upper canyon (famous for it light beam, which can be seen on IFL). This was taken in the lower canyon in the morning. This shot is made of 3 exposures.
