surferboy added a comment: 4.0.4 Site Bogged down BADIf this bug report is true, I would hope that IPS would address this and other initimated "scatter gun" issues with vigor, transparency, and courage that may delay the public launch of 4.0
Now is the time to pull back, and redo the code. From everything I have read about performance, optimization is crucial.
If this means delaying 4.0 for another 6 months, then have the fortitude to do it, and proudly launch a product that is clean, lean, and the envy and adoration of software developers from around the world.
surferboy added a bug in Bug TrackerNotifications don't show as read/unreadIn the current version of this board, as well as the earlier 4.0 releases and the rc's, the notifications screen is not reliable in showing the bold/unbold meaning unread/read.
This morning, I had 11 notifications. I clicked on the notification icon and then clicked on View all notifications. Some of the topics were bold and some were not. I clicked on some of the unbolded items and they showed replies that I had not read. Then I saw there was a notfication about the White Label App that Headstand had commented at 7:41 am. I clicked on it and read it and then clicked back on my mouse. Okay, I realize doing that may present a cache look and the bold/unbold may not change but then I refreshed the page and still the bold appearance remained on the White Label file and still no one else had made a comment.
I suspect this notification function is one of the most used features on the board, whether here or on user boards. It might be helpful to enhance this so that it refreshes each time the page loads and really pound on this carpet with a couple of big sticks to get out any remaining bugs.

surferboy added a post in a topic: More Info on IP.Pages ?Oh but I do need to not only suggest but simply state that your statement, as worded, is incorrect. It is pure and simple, semantics.
You made a statement that incorrectly reflected the features of Pages.
surferboy added a post in a topic: More Info on IP.Pages ?Unfortunately, your statement that my statement was not accurate is inaccurate.
One could say it is semantics but if you review the exact wording of the original post, the member referenced the phrase "what kind of things can be built." If the member was led to believe they could embed blocks on external websites when they currently cannot, the correct or more accurate reply would be to say that the embedding feature is not currently available.
surferboy added a post in a topic: More Info on IP.Pages ?That is not an accurate statement. There is one functionality that is currently missing from Pages that was included in IP.Content. That is the ability to embed IP.Content Blocks on an external web site. That functionality is a planned feature that will be introduced in the future. If you read that Feature Plan, it shows what is 'Next Up' and what is 'Coming Soon.' The planned introduction is number 10 on the list. That could mean in 3 months or it could mean in 9 months or it could mean 15 months.
For those of us who actively use the embedding of IP.Content blocks in external websites, it is a showstopper, plain and simple.
surferboy added a post in a topic: IP4 and Friends FunctionHi -
Thanks for posting a very insightful topic. I know that all members of the Invision community are supposed to address the points in the original posters reply and simply offer his or her opinion on the merits of the topic. I cannot. Our community is different. Perhaps that is my point: every community is different. It is our feedback that IPS restore the Friends functionality to allow every community to have the greatest leeway to implement their own functionality for following content and friends.
We use a slightly different approach to following content. Our initial member registration system as well as our member profile updates determine what content is followed, by default. Our community is structured in two ways: geographic and demographic. Depending on the country and the demographic preferences either initially provided or updated, the member has their default auto-follow settings defined and enabled for forums, for IP.Content articles, for social groups, for calendars, and for classifieds. Additionally, if a member decides to unfollow a forum or another IP application, that setting remains in place and overrides any further default setting for that particular forum or calendar, even if they change countries for two years and then return to that country of residence later. Of course, our members can manually follow any other forum or other content themselves
These auto-follow settings are for the calendar only, for the forum only, for the ip.content article categories only, and for classifieds categories only. When our members log in, they only see notifications on new topics, new calendar events, new classified listings, new articles but they are not automatically following all of the items inside. That we leave up to them. We just want them to know about new content in their area of the world and in their areas of interest. We also have a 'my-page' that shows a list of unread application categories, indicated by a (#). Based on our observation and feedback from members, we have set our default notifications settings to only be online only. Our community member do not like a lot of email notifications. So even if the members disable the online notifications, they will still have their 'my-page' summary of unread new application content.
For us, the Friends feature is all about showing the status of our Friends on our 'My-Page.' We show which of our members' friends are online, which of our members' friends have a birthday today, which of our members' friends have posted a status update, and which of our members' friends have added an entry in their blogs. We could extend this functionality to include which of our members' friends have added an image to their personal gallery. Hopefully this illustrates how we use Friends and why we would very much like it to be restored for 4.0. One note about the status update block: it really doesn't work. It is an acknowledged quirk by IPS - the status update block shows everyone's status update, even if they are not Friends.

surferboy added a post in a topic: Member profile files link - removed in 4.0.Hi -
At first I thought about posting this in the Ask IPS forum but really this is better suited as a suggestion and idea topic.
Since the launch of 4.0, I have reviewed the new member profile layout several times. I have concluded that the development team made some logical decisions on why to show this or that, and also why it was important to remove other items.
I am curious why you decided to remove the link that said something like "other files by this member" or words to that effect in the new member profile.
Issue: Let's use @Adriano Faria as an example. We could engage in a long debate about the ease or difficulty in finding a file by a developer in 'Downloads aka Marketplace' in 3.4.7 but I would rather mention that it was always easier for me to view Adriano's profile and just click on that now removed link to find all his files. So if we (meaning the average or more casual ips community member who wants to find a file by a certain developer and NOT the Jedi IPS Master Developers who know and assume everyone should intrinsically know where and how to find everything) look at Adriano's 4.0 member profile, what do we see? A left sidebar column that mentions the marketplace but no link, and the wide right that shows his activity feed.
Now, if I do click on the button in the upper right header bar that says 'See their activity,' I see the 'All activity' list of Adriano Faria but it doesn't tell me immediately how to find Adriano's submitted files. If I click on Files under Downloads, then I do see all his submitted files. But how would I even know, as a casual observer, to click on that 'See their activity' to find the list of content and then click yet again to find his files.
Now, if I visit one of @Rikki 's files, like this one, http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5501-ips-communities-app-gdk-ios/, you see the authorship of the file, 'By Rikki' and below it, a linked phrase that says 'Find their other files.'
Suggestion: Add that same link @Rikki 's member profile, in the IPS Marketplace section that says: "
IPS Marketplace
Resources Contributor Total file submissions: 3" and maybe do something as simple as highlighting/linking the existing language, [Total file submissions: 3]

surferboy added a post in a topic: Broken quotes, images, links, avatar? Here's My FixesWhen I read a post like this, I get really really worried about the eventual upgrade of my site. Is your site really unusual? Otherwise, will everyone experience this kind of massive chaos and destruction? @Matt @Charles @Mark @Andy Millne @Rikki
surferboy added a post in a topic: Mix and Match Traditional & Grid View?Great idea!
surferboy added a comment: Login Issues on IPS Site RC1-RC3Would be interesting to find out if any communities who have gone live with RC1 - RC3 are having login issues with their members? Seems like the IPS programmers can't identify what is causing this and from their perspective, nothing is wrong. But if customer's communities are experiencing the issue with their own communities, this could have a huge impact. These customers could potentially lose some members from indignation/frustration.
surferboy added a comment: Login Issues on IPS Site RC1-RC3Okay but that was what I was doing, using my email address and my updated password. Now I am afraid to logout just to endure this pain again.
surferboy added a comment: Login Issues on IPS Site RC1-RC3yes, the same happened to me last weekend. seems like the same issue.
surferboy added a comment: [This site] No notification for mentionThis has been happening to me and also to others, who I have mentioned, and they have not added a comment when my mention would almost certainly have caused them to make a comment.
So I'm not tying this to RC2 but to my experience in creating mentions with beta 7 - 9 and also these RC's.
surferboy added a post in a topic: Please restore date format editing ability in IPS4Interesting read. Our community has members from 42 countries. We're still on 3.3.4, so I have implemented a board wide standard of 23 Feb 2015 for everything. That way there is no doubt what date we are talking about.
surferboy added a post in a topic: Share This Post - no PM option; why not?Hi -
I'm just wondering why the developers did not include an option of sharing a post using PM in the Share This Post feature.
As it is, I have to copy and paste the link in the Share This Post when I send a PM to someone about a post or a reply.

This is a continuation of prior application Ser. No. 11/115,842, filed Apr. 26, 2005.
Personal audio players, such as the Apple iPod, store compressed data indicative of music information in a storage unit. This enables a user to listen to their own personal music, on this portable device. These devices conventionally store the music in either MP3 format, or in some other compressed format. The format for storage enables a fixed-size storage device to actually store more information as compared with an uncompressed file system.
A user interface on the device may include a selector and display screen that enables the user to select a particular object to be listened to. For example, the user may select a song or a playlist and listen to that song or playlist.
The present application teaches new aspects which can be included within the existing circuitry within such a portable audio device. A first aspect includes a radio, and includes control of the radio in a way that allows effectively timeshifting the radio content. The user can listen to radio content which occurred some time prior to the current-listening time. The user can also fast forward over certain parts, to enable the user to listen to only certain desired portions of the program. In addition, since the contents of the radio are compressed and stored, another aspect enables the user to store clips from the radio sequence for later playback.
Another aspect relates to a wireless capability of such a personal audio player. The wireless capability enables connection to a backbone, and enables retrieving either streaming content or standard digital content from that wireless backbone. For example, this may enable playing an Internet radio station based on wireless communication.
These and other aspects will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
A block diagram of the overall system is shown in
The decompressed audio information is sent to an audio circuit 120, which may be a low wattage audio amplifier that produces an output to an earphone jack as output 125. The system also includes an interface to a wired data connection 130. For example, this may be conventional USB connection, or may be any connection which enables data from an external source to be entered into and/or removed from the storage unit 110.
The overall control is controlled by the user interface 135 which may be a selector device and may include a screen to enable displaying the contents of what is possible to play, or what is currently playing or more. A power supply 140 may include a battery, preferably a rechargeable battery that powers the entire unit.
The system also includes a radio 145 which may be a dedicated chip or may be part of one of the other chips described above. The radio may be a radio tuner with its antenna embedded into the case of the unit 100. Tuning may be controlled by the user interface 135. The system also includes a wireless connection 150 which may be a short-range connection such as Bluetooth, a network mesh connection such as Zigbee, or a more conventional wireless Ethernet connection such as 802.11. In an embodiment, the wireless connection 150 is adapted for short-range communications, so that it can receive communications when it comes within range of an appropriate communication system. In the embodiment which uses Zigbee, the wireless communication becomes part of a low-power mesh network. Each unit then becomes part of a "mesh" which receives from another node in the mesh, and transmits to a node in the network. According to one aspect, compressed audio information is sent from node to node.
In operation, the radio can play and operate in a number of different modes, which are described with reference to
In one aspect, the controller 115 automatically identifies whether the content being retrieved is voice or music, using a frequency analysis or some other type of automated content analysis. In a "skip voice" mode at 210, the playback automatically skips all information that the processing recognizes as talking, and plays only music.
Another aspect relates to storage of certain clips from the radio at 215. For example, the user may signal, while listening to a particular song, that the user wants to store this song, for later listening. The controller automatically identifies the beginning of the song, by identifying the start of the music portion for that song. Note that since the controller stores the content, it can mark that beginning, at a time previous to the time when the song is signaled, shown as 216. The controller marks that start portion as the beginning portion for clip number X. At the end of the song, the controller automatically identifies this end, also, and marks as the end of clip number X. The song is therefore stored as clip number X, into the storage unit 110, enabling the user to retrieve song X later, and play it, either for the first time, or again.
Different refinements of this system are possible. In one refinement, the user and may signal the beginning and end of the clip manually. During any song, the user selects storage, on the user interface. At that point, the user can rewind through the stored previously recorded material. The user selects start that allows manual selection of a clip from the received radio.
The clip may be stored from other playing modes, e.g., the clip maybe selected from "live" radio, as compared with during "timeshared" radio as discussed above. During the time that the user is playing live radio, in addition to being sent to the audio circuit 120, the information may be continually compressed and sent to storage unit 110, with storage unit 110 storing, for example, 5 or 10 minutes of past live radio at all times. This enables rewinding live radio, to find the beginning of a current song or program, either automatically or manually, and to enable storing that current song.
The user can also program certain radio broadcasts to be recorded at 220. For example, if the user likes a certain radio show, the user may program that radio show to be recorded. Using the user interface, the user selects record channel 99 by from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. The system automatically records this, stores and within the storage 110, and enables the user to play this back as a music clip at some later time.
All of this may be relatively battery intensive, and one aspect enables doing this on a portable device. Of course this may also be done on a non-portable device. Therefore, another aspect at 225 includes recording radio transmissions for later listening automatically whenever the device is connected to its charging station 160. This can store radio during charging, based on power from the AC mains, to avoid excess battery depletion.
Yet another aspect at 230 enables the radio to be received at a base station 170 that is plugged into the AC mains. The radio information thus received is compressed to a compressed format, e.g., MP3, and then streamed into the unit over the wireless link 155, to the wireless unit 150. Alternatively, the information can be sent as discrete files, which are not streamed, and just sent as data. The radio thus recorded may be alternatively sent as wired data, the next time that the unit is synched or docked. Again, the radio show, or parts of the radio show, can then be listened to by the user.
Other information can be received over the wireless link 155. For example, when the unit comes with range of a wireless source, it may automatically begin receiving information, or signal to the user that information is available for receive. The wireless information, for example, may be an information channel, which is transmitted within an area to provide information to people on certain things. For example in a shopping mall environment, this may advertise specials about the shopping mall, or information about how to do certain things in the shopping mall. In the public exhibition, such as a zoo or art museum, the information may be information about certain exhibits, which is automatically transmitted when the user gets close to the exhibits. Alternatively, the information transmitted may be for example an entire corpus of information for all exhibits, listed by exhibit numbers, stored in the storage unit. The user can then select any of the numbers on the user interface 135, as they reach the exhibit, and listen to that information. This can also be used in other public exhibitions, such as at car shows and other shows, conventions, and other gatherings.
Another aspect may include an auto delete option. When information is received over a wireless unit, the user may be automatically prompted about whether they want to autodelete after leaving the area of the wireless unit, about whether they wish to delete the information. This marks the information to then be deleted sometime after leaving the area, e.g. 3 to 4 hours after leaving the area. This time delay prevents the information from being automatically deleted simply because the user gets to an area of low or wireless reception. The user can, of course, choose to retain parts of the information in the storage, and can select portions of that information as clips.
Other aspects are within the disclosed embodiment
Although only a few embodiments have been disclosed in detail above, other modifications are possible, and this disclosure is intended to cover all such modifications, and most particularly, any modification which might be predictable to a person having ordinary skill in the art. For example, while the above has described storage of compressed information, it should be understood that some information, especially that information intended to be later deleted, can be uncompressed information. Only the long term stored information needs to be compressed information.
Moreover, while the above describes that the compressed audio information is MP3 information, it should be understood that any compression format for the audio information can be used, e.g., ATRAC, or any other compression.
Also, only those claims which use the words "means for" are intended to be interpreted under 35 USC 112, sixth paragraph. Moreover, no limitations from the specification are intended to be read into any claims, unless those limitations are expressly included in the claims.

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FET) announced today that, based on currently available information, the company now expects full year 2012 earnings per diluted share of $1.72 to $1.74. This is below the company's previous guidance range of $1.83 to $1.88. The company indicated the reduction in the expected range for full year 2012 earnings per diluted share is primarily the result of:
- Significantly lower fourth quarter 2012 customer spending on capital equipment and consumable products than previously anticipated, especially in the company's Drilling product line.
- Customer deferrals in accepting delivery of higher margin capital equipment orders from existing backlog.
- Under absorption of manufacturing costs.
- Acquisition transaction expenses, severance, weather related inefficiencies, and other transitory costs.
Cris Gaut, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Forum, remarked, "We are disappointed with our performance during the fourth quarter 2012. However, we believe the lower customer demand experienced at year end and our reduced profit margins are transitory in nature and mostly relate to issues specific to the fourth quarter."

Cashing In On The Olympics: Who Will Turn Gold Into Green?
Gabrielle Douglas of the United States celebrates after winning the gold medal in the Gymnastics Women's Individual All-Around final at the London 2012 Olympic Games on August 2, 2012 -- Getty Images
Gabby Douglas stuck her landing and became the first African-American gymnast in Olympic history to win gold in the individual all-around. And she picked up gold in the all-around with her teammates, as well.
But she's not the only superstar standout of the games.
PLAY IT NOW: La La Anthony Talks Carmelo Anthony's Record-Breaking Scoring At The 2012 Summer Olympics
Dozens of athletes captured America's attention like Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and, of course, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings.
Now that it's all over, which Olympians will turn gold into green?
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Olympic Closing Ceremony 2012: Photos From London
For Gabby, just hours after winning the all-around individual gold, she became the latest athlete to feature on a box of Kellogg's Cornflakes, and that's just the beginning for the 16-year-old.
There are estimates that she can earn up to $10 million in the next four years.
Ad guru Donny Deutsch told Access Hollywood that Gabby is the most marketable Olympian to come out of the games.

"There's something beyond the fact of her amazing performance. She twinkles, she pops," Donny told said of Gabby's x-factor.
All five members of the gold winning gymnastics team also appear on a Corn Flakes box together and, after winning gold in the floor exercises, team captain Aly Raisman also has big ad potential -- the 18-year-old could see around $1 million a year.

But it's not just endorsements that loom for these athletes.
In London, Aly told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush she'd be open to trying her hand at acting.
"I would do acting. I like that," she said.
Donny told Access the key to money making success for these Olympians is cashing in quickly while they are hot.
Highly-marketable Missy Franklin, 17, may forego the opportunity to cash in, for now.
"I really want to stay amateur. I really want to swim in college," Missy told Access' Billy in London. "I think we definitely have to sit down and have a talk because there's a point when you can have enough money to sustain you for your life and there's so many factors that you have to consider, but right now, I just want to be a part of that college team so badly."
However, Missy said someday she would love to do "Dancing with the Stars." And soccer star Alex Morgan also has an interest in the show.
"I'm open [to it]," she previously told Access.
Donny said "Dancing" is worth putting off, for anyone considering it when the field opens up to new contenders. (The show is currently doing its "All-Star" season.)
"I wouldn't do 'Dancing with the Stars' right now for any of them," he said. "The reason to do 'Dancing with the Stars' is huge audiences. They've had the biggest audience you can have and it's more of refining their brand right now to find what types of products, what kind of brands enhance their image."
Ryan Lochte has also expressed interest in "DWTS," and his agent said he has been offered a variety of reality show concepts.
The swimmer already endorses such companies as Gatorade and Gillette.

Appeals court denies Ongpin appeal on Philex short-swing profit case
More News from Tetch Torres
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Court of Appeals has ordered the Pasig City Regional Trial Court to proceed with the hearing of the derivative suit seeking to compel businessman and former Trade Minister Roberto Ongpin to return P412 million in "short swing profits" he had allegedly earned from the sale of shares of Philex Mining Corp.
A derivative suit is lawsuit brought by a shareholder of a corporation on its behalf to enforce or defend a legal right or claim, which the corporation has failed to do.
The complainants, including Mario Ongkiko, a stockholder of Philex, alleged that under Section 23.2 of the Securities Regulation Code, an incumbent company insider like a director or officer is barred from profiting from trading in the same shares within a period of six months.
The short-swing profits of P412.5 million stemmed from Ongpin's purchase of 50 million Philex shares from the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) at P12.75 per share on Nov. 5, 2009, and selling the very same shares to Two Rivers Pacific Holdings Corp. of Manuel V. Pangilinan, Philex chairman, on Dec. 7, 2009, at P21 per share.
The complaint also asked the court to direct Ongpin and his firms—Deltaventure Resources, Inc. and Goldenmedia Corporation—to return to Philex other short-swing profits, if any.
In her resolution, Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 158 Judge Maria Rowena Modesto San Pedro said that following the existing jurisprudence, it is better that the correct amount of fees amounting to more than P8.2-million be considered a "lien on the judgment to be rendered than to straightjacket minority shareholders from seeking corporate best practices."
Ongpin took the case to the Court of Appeals, which said that the lower court had no jurisdiction over the complaint due to the refusal of the complainants to pay the correct filing fees, among other reasons.
He further stated that since the complaint failed to include the amount of damages demanded that resulted in the computation and payment of an incorrect filing fee, the trial court had lost jurisdiction over the case.
But the appellate court third division, through Associate Justice Apolinario Bruselas Jr., said "the non-specification of the amounts of damages does not immediately divest the trial court of its jurisdiction over the case, provided there is no bad faith or intent to defraud the government on the part of the plaintiff."
It further stated that the Pasig court did not commit grave abuse of discretion in dismissing Ongpin's motion to expunge the complaint on grounds that the complainant lawyer Mario Ongkiko, stockholder of Philex, failed to pay the corresponding filing fees.
The lower court, in dismissing Ongpin's motion, said that a motion to expunge is like a motion to dismiss, which is prohibited under the Interim Rules on Intra-Corporate Controversies.
"Thus, although the petitioners' motion to expunge complaint is not among the prohibited pleadings listed in the Interim Rules on Intra-Corporate Controversies, its being uncannily similar in effect to a motion to dismiss, which is absolutely prohibited under the interim rules, makes it the 'same dog with a different collar,' so to speak," the appeals court said.
"No grave abuse of discretion may be attributed to the RTC in disallowing such cleverly titled motion given the factual and legal milieu upon which the resolution was rendered," it added.
Concurring with the ruling were Associate Justices Rebecca de Guia-Salvador and Samuel H. Gaerlan.

Facing a $400,000 budget shortfall, Fullerton Civic Light Opera will close in January unless it comes up with the cash. The closure would end the company's 40th season early and stiff thousands of season ticket holders.
"We had a record downturn in season (ticket) renewals," said Griff Duncan, FCLO's cofounder and producer. "That was not anticipated."
Adding to the company's financial difficulties was a sharp drop in rentals for its collection of costumes and sets.
"We lost $150,000 in expected rentals to schools. That had been helping to subsidize our own shows," Duncan said. "The cutback in all the public school budgets landed in the last four months, and that really hurt us."
Founded in December 1971, Fullerton Civic Light Opera presents mainstream musicals such as "Oliver!" and "Evita" using a mixture of professionals and amateurs. It is part of the dwindling civic light opera circuit, a semi-professional level of musical theater that was once popular nationwide.
Duncan is pessimistic that his company will find a quick way out of its difficulties.
"We're trying to get the funding from several sources. We've asked the city (of Fullerton) and a number of private sources to help. But I don't expect to get the money in time to save our next show."
Santa Ana's 3D Theatricals, which mounted a season at the OC Pavilion in 2009-10 but lost its venue when the building was purchased by the Orange County High School of the Arts, has expressed an interest in co-producing, but Duncan said the talks were very preliminary and that nothing was decided. "We'd cooperate with them, but we don't have any cash to give them."
T.J. Dawson of 3D Theatricals said plans to collaborate were much farther along than that.
"We are in talks about a multitude of different options. We could merge our company with theirs and more or less take over. We could just produce 'The Drowsy Chaperone.' We want to help them and serve the ticket holders."
Various collaborative options will de discussed and possibly decided upon at FCLO's Dec. 9 board meeting, Dawson said.
The Fullerton theater company's possible demise continues a downward trend for arts institutions in Orange County over the last few years.
In November the Curtain Call Dinner Theater closed after 30 years in Old Town Tustin. Opera Pacific went dark in November 2008 near the beginning of its 23rd season. And Ballet Pacifica, a local institution since 1962, was shuttered in the spring of 2007.
FCLO's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone" is scheduled to open Feb. 11. If funding isn't in place by early January, Duncan said he will be forced to pull the plug on the remainder of the company's 2010-11 season.
"We will have to suspend operations and start some fundraisers in order to continue."

Herbert Macaulay
Olayinka Herbert Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay (14 November 1864 – 7 May 1946) was a Nigerian nationalist, politician, engineer, journalist, and musician and is considered by many Nigerians as the founder of Nigerian nationalism.
Early life[edit]
Olayinka Macaulay Badmus was born in Lagos on 14 November 1864 to Thomas Babington Macaulay and Abigail Crowther, children of people captured from what is now present day Nigeria, resettled in Sierra Leone by the British West Africa Squadron, and eventual returnees to present day Nigeria.[1] Thomas Babington Macaulay is one of the sons of Ojo Oriare while Abigail Crowther is the daughter of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther.[1] Thomas Babington Macaulay was the founder of the first secondary school in Nigeria, the CMS Grammar School, Lagos.[2][3] After going to a Christian missionary school, he took a job as a clerk at the Lagos Department of Public Works. From 1891 to 1894 he studied civil engineering in Plymouth, England. On his return, he worked for the Crown as a land inspector. He left his position in 1898 due to growing distaste for the British rule over the Lagos Colony and the position of Yorubaland and the Niger Coast Protectorate as British colonies in all but name.
As an opponent of British rule[edit]
Herbert Macaulay was an unlikely champion of the masses. A grandson of Ajayi Crowther, the first African bishop of the Niger Territory, he was born into a Lagos that was divided politically into groups arranged in a convenient pecking order – the British rulers who lived in the posh Marina district, the Saros and other slave descendants who lived to the west, and the Brazilians who lived behind the whites in the Portuguese Town. Behind all three lived the real Lagosians, the masses of indigenous Yoruba people, disliked and generally ignored by their privileged neighbours. It was not until Macaulay's generation that the Saros and Brazilians even began to contemplate making common cause with the masses.
Macaulay was one of the first Nigerian nationalists and for most of his life a strong opponent of British rule in Nigeria. As a reaction to claims by the British that they were governing with "the true interests of the natives at heart", he wrote: "The dimensions of "the true interests of the natives at heart" are algebraically equal to the length, breadth and depth of the whiteman's pocket." In 1908 he exposed European corruption in the handling of railway finances and in 1919 he argued successfully for the chiefs whose land had been taken by the British in front of the Privy Council in London. As a result, the colonial government was forced to pay compensation to the chiefs. In retaliation for this and other activities of his, Macaulay was jailed twice by the British. [3]
Macaulay became very popular and on 24 June 1923 he founded the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), the first Nigerian political party. The party won all the seats in the elections of 1923, 1928 and 1933.[4]
As a supporter of the British[edit]
In 1931 relations between Macaulay and the British began to improve up to the point that the governor even held conferences with Macaulay.[4] In October 1938 the more radical Nigerian Youth Movement fought and won elections for the Lagos Town Council, ending the dominance of Macaulay and his National Democratic Party.[5]
Towards the end[edit]
In 1944 Macaulay co-founded the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) together with Nnamdi Azikiwe and became its president.[6] The NCNC was a patriotic organization designed to bring together Nigerians of all stripes to demand independence.[7] In 1946 Macaulay fell ill in Kano and later died in Lagos. The leadership of the NCNC went to Azikiwe, who later became the first president of Nigeria. Macaulay was buried at Ikoyi Cemetery in Lagos on 11 May 1946. Nnamdi Azikiwe delivered a funeral oration at Macaulay's burial ceremony. [8]

The Election Commission (EC) has given a compensation amount of Rs10 lakh to the family of Anant Sawale, the teacher who died while on election duty last month. The payment was handed over through the Thane district collectorate.
Sawale, 45, who was employed at Takshashila Vidyalaya in Ulhasnagar, apparently complained of unease, but was asked to continue on duty. He was later hospitalised, but passed away the following day.
The teacher was the sole earning member of the family with three school-going children. Relatives and friends have expressed concern that the compensation of Rs10 lakh would not suffice the family for long. So, they are keen that the wife is given a job in the education department.
"I am still studying and my mother is not well qualified. We will have to spend more if I have to go for higher studies. We cannot depend on this amount till I finish my education and find a job. Still I'm happy that they considered us for compensation," says Jyoti Sawale, the daughter of the deceased teacher.
The relief was delivered to the family following persistent efforts by the teachers' association and Ramnath Mote, MLC from the teachers' constituency.
The teachers' association has also demanded that a police complaint be registered and an inquiry be conducted to identify the official who compelled the teacher to continue working despite ill health.
In another similar case, the teacher of a Navi Mumbai school died while on election duty on polling day in Thane. The family was given compensation on April 29.

SUMNER, Wash. Tara Walrath is no stranger to hand cramps.
Over the past several weeks, she has gradually drawn 800 flowers on tiny pieces of paper one for each girl attending Sumner High School.
If one of my flowers could be an inspiration to one person, that I m willing to draw 800 for that one person, Walrath said, sketching flowers at her kitchen counter.
The idea came to her last October after a conversation with a classmate who was upset because no one had ever asked her to the Homecoming dance or given her a flower.
It really touched my heart, Walrath said. I ve never really gotten any flowers for Valentine s Day and I thought, every girl deserves a flower.
So she started drawing with the goal of delivering her flowers on Valentine s Day.
It was a slow, arduous process. She drew seven varieties of flowers each one taking anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes, depending on the level of detail.
After a while, I go insane, she said.
By Thursday morning, she had reached her goal. With help from a few guys, her handpicked cupids, Walrath had the flowers delivered to every classroom in the school.
She pre-recorded a message that played during the morning announcements.
You are beautiful, the message said. You all deserve a flower.
Then teachers handed out the drawings to all the girls in their classrooms.
Made my day, one girl said.
I love them, another girl told Walrath while passing her in the hallway.
Felicia Sathern had actually talked about flowers with Walrath on Wednesday.
I was like, I wish I could get a flower for Valentine s Day, Sathern said. And [Walrath s] like, Oh, you will, don t worry.
When it was all said and done, Walrath took a deep breath.
I feel like Santa Claus after Christmas, she said.
It is unclear if Walrath, a junior, while try to replicate her feat next year. For now, she just wants to rest her mind and her hand.

He has talked boldly, talked loudly, talked defiantly.
Man, has he ever talked, Jay Jacobs being quoted on USA Today's website and appearing on a national radio show and ESPN's "SportsCenter," and that was all within just one hour early Sunday morning.
The athletic director at Auburn has been campaigning on behalf of the SEC for inclusion in the BCS championship game, even if Florida State and Ohio State finish undefeated.
Auburn and Missouri, both losers of one game this season, meet for the SEC title Saturday. Jacobs is of the opinion that the winner should receive a bid in the BCS final set for Jan. 6 at the Rose Bowl.
Is of the opinion? Sorry, Jacobs, to be more accurate, is of the obsession, turning hype into hyperbole in the grand manner of sports royalty, by which we mean the king himself, Don King.
Jacobs suggested that a 12-1 Auburn team not advancing to the BCS title game would be "un-American" and "a disservice to the nation," never mind that the majority of the nation, if pressed, couldn't identify what state Auburn is in.
At least Jacobs stopped short of belittling the 2014 BCS championship game by giving it an outlandish nickname, a la King: "The Fake-O in the Arroyo Seco."
Yes, Jacobs is just a little fired up about this topic, the AD slinging BS in the name of AU, a school that had its 2004 undefeated football team left out of the national final in favor of equally undefeated USC and Oklahoma.
Those Trojans eventually pummeled the Sooners in the Orange Bowl but had to vacate the BCS title because of NCAA sanctions. And who says a playoff – deciding everything on the field – will ultimately answer all of college football's postseason questions?
This is the final year of the BCS as we know it but not the final time we'll be subjected to players, coaches, athletic directors and conference officials whining and begging for postseason position.
Thank goodness for that, otherwise this game wouldn't seem sleazy enough. By these schools shamelessly selling themselves and their programs, we're sort of receiving a glimpse into the world of recruiting, the seediest part of this sport.
Think about it. Where do so many schools get in trouble with the NCAA? Where do so many violations occur? In recruiting, a process full of corruption and lies and schools using every conceivable angle to promote themselves and disparage their rivals.
It is, frankly, rather unbecoming, a grown man having to plead off the field for a team unable to prove itself on the field because of a system that continues to operate as if the Bluebonnet Bowl still mattered.
College football should be better than this and, with a four-team playoff starting next year, will be better. But only slightly. With such a small postseason field, much of the nonsense, the politicking, the gas-bag quality will remain.
There is an element of humor, at least. It happens now every late November, a coach who has spent the entire season insisting that his players not look ahead looking ahead just in time to get caught from behind.

1937 Indian Chief Project
View Single Post
Joined: Jan 2007
Location: San Francisco, CA
Oddometer: 114
I've bought two Indian basket cases. The first was a 1948 Indian Chief and the second is this 1937 Indian Chief. In both cases the frames were not in the best condition. In both cases the frames likely came from a bike that was totaled in an accident. Additionally the 1937 Chief had been modified over the years.
John Bivins of Indian Engineering (Stanton, CA) fixed my 1948 chief's frame. The best testimony of his work is that I can ride my bike down the road and take my hands off the handlebars and the bike tracks straight as an arrow. So when I bought my 37 chief I had the frame, forks, and handlebars shipped directly to him.
So the handlebars that showed up weren't the same as the one in the orginal pictures. Actually they were much more desiable. Sportbars. More narrow than the standard bars. Recall my comments about rare factory options. These handlebars aren't very common and along with a magneto the bike was on it's way to being unique.
At some point someone had cut off the seat post, cut off the shifter tube, and drilled wholes in several parts of the frame to mount foot pegs. I was fortunate that the bike came with an extra frame section that could be used to repair cast shifter tube. Hard to say where this chunk of frame came from but it did have the correct casting to repair my frame.
You can expect 74 year old bike to be worn past all serviceable limits. This bike didn't fail me on this respect. Everything bushed need rebushing. Most things threaded needed rethreading. Note the shiny lower rear frame tubes. At some point the bike was hit very hard and the rear of the frame was pushed to the right side. At times tubes are beyond repair and need to be replaced. But if the original material can be salvaged and repaired it seems that very thing related to that area goes smoother. John made a few fixtures to persuade the frame tube back into alignment. Over all the frame was rough but in the end it came out straight and narrow.
When you are searching for parts or searching for people who can repair your parts a pleasant bonus is the opportunity to see lots of very cool shops and bikes. Note the Indian Rigid Indian Four in the to left. To me a ridge four is the pinnacle of desirable Indians. I suspect I'll ever have one. They are very rare, expensive.
Many of the motorcycle people I've work with getting my bike back on the road are dog people too. John is no exception. I'm not a dog person but I like dogs, I like cats too. Birds, not so much. Next Post: Heat and Beat.

Absolutely. I am currently involved few weeks again in real bussines application development using one of decent ORMs in ASP.NET, and existing infrastructure code is again a big pain, because it needs to be built well to be robust, which requires lot of time of very expensive developers. Customers are unable to pay for infrastructure again and again... Customers needs your focus on his bussiness logic, even changing often in time. Hopefully, some of our followers in future will have better nights again :-) Keep it going on!

Good luck and see you out there one of these days...
Yes Sir, I know Im not ready as of yet. I am cautious. I WANT TO LIVE... HAHA any wa6y I will go for short day trips offshore for the next 18 months or so before I do a "TRIP" I want to really get to know the boat and its abilities. This takes a commitment to cast off every time I can and challenge the weather a bit. I need to learn to reef in a controlled environment, close to home. Port Royal sound is bought three and a half miles wide and 14 miles long. That may be just the ticket in the learning grounds. I will practice anchoring and standing 3 hour watches. I And you are right a bought this forum, I have met some great people that have done nothing but encourage me but at the same time keeping me safe with warnings and advise. I'm glad I found this site. Thanks again for your help.

60 days notice is required making it VERY difficult to move in/out in the Asheville rental market, where units rent overnight. You almost surely pay double rent. The area is well kept, great location, but I would never rent with any of the Bell Properties again or recommend to a friend. There are lower costing apartments in the area which are more affordable. They claim rent changes daily like a commodity but they are the only company operating this way. They charge random fees ($9/month admin fee = 108/year??) and the rent is WAY above fair market value. I could never get them on the phone or speak to the manager. Really hard to get a hold of staff unless you go into the office during business hours.

The grounds, and trails are pretty good. The trail allows for biking, running, etc and it goes on for miles. The management at the time, 2005 and 2006 was lacking to say the least, and did not allow us to renew our lease even though we were not late in paying rent for 1 year. Our family was forced to find some other place to move into with little notice. These may have changed with management...rumor has it they did change.

I moved in about a few months back, took a look at this place and several others. While the rent is (in my opinion) high it is reasonable when you see how much other places are asking for, and how much they offer compared to the Forest. The staff at the forest is always courteous and happy to help. The grounds are kept clean and the apartments are well made. All requests that i have made to get something fixed or looked at were quickly taken care of. I've read other reviews complaining about noise, all i can say is that i have one of the older apartments closer to the front and i can't hear my neighbors, it is very well insulated.

Seventy-one Percent of Americans Believe Last-minute Travel is More Expensive, Yet Hotwire Hotels Are Offering Deepest Discounts on the Day of Arrival Contrary to Popular Belief, Big City Hotels Available to Hotwire's 11th Hour Bookers with Huge Day-of Discounts PR Newswire SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17, 2013 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --With MLK weekend just days away, Hotwire.com, a leading discount travel site, today revealed more results from its second annual American Travel Behavior Survey, conducted online on its behalf by Harris Interactive in October 2012 among over 2,000 U.S. adults. According to the survey, 71 percent of Americans believe booking a last-minute leisure trip costs more than booking one further in advance. However, the latest Hotwire pricing trends show the exact opposite; hotels, particularly those in big cities typically associated with high prices, are offering their deepest discounts on the day of check-in. Large hotels in major cities like Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco adjust their prices on a daily, or sometimes hourly, basis. Oftentimes hotel demand doesn't always materialize as much as expected and they discount heavily on the day of check-in as a last ditch attempt to fill empty rooms. That means that travelers shopping for a room to stay in that night can score a better rate than if they booked weeks, or even days, in advance. Hotwire works with these hotels to provide these 11^th hour discounts to travelers through their website, mobile site and mobile app, where 75 percent of bookings are made on the day of check-in. "Folks visiting major metropolises are typically wary of waiting until the last minute to book a hotel because they're worried about being able to find an affordable room in a prime location," said Clem Bason, president of the Hotwire Group. "But in reality, hoteliers are dropping prices right up until the day of check in to attract last-minute bookings, with more and more coming from mobile devices. That means it's not too late to score a great deal for MLK weekend, which is right around the corner." While travelers can get bigger discounts than ever at the last minute, they should keep in mind that different seasons can result in better deals – for example, winter months are typically off-season for many destinations, which can lead to bigger savings before the busier spring and summer months hit. Below are five big city examples for January where folks can save more on the day of check-in than if they book further in advance: Price: Day Price: 7-14 Percent City Star Rating and Location Of days Prior Savings 1.San 4.5-star Union Square East $152/night $246/night 62% Francisco - Moscone area hotel 4-star Santa Monica – 2.Los Angeles Venice – Marina Del Ray $134/night $215/night 60% area hotel 3.New York 4-star Downtown - SoHo - $114/night $147/night 29% City Financial District area hotel 4.5-star Magnificent Mile 4.Chicago $97/night $121/night 25% area hotel 5.Atlanta 4-star Buckhead area $89/night $109/night 22% hotel Above savings are calculated by comparing Hotwire Hot Rates for select destinations seven days before against day of bookings. Hotel sample rates are based on Hotwire searches made on 1/14/13 for same day stay compared to a stay either one week or two weeks ahead (1/21/13 or 1/28/13). Travelers can easily stay on top of the latest last-minute deals to their favorite locations through Hotwire's award-winning website, www.hotwire.com, or search and book an affordable hotel while on-the-go via its free mobile app, available from the U.S. and Canada App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.iTunes.com/AppStore. Survey Methodology Harris Interactive^® fielded the study on behalf of Hotwire from October 15-17, 2012 via its QuickQuery^SM online omnibus service, interviewing 2,133 U.S. adults aged 18 years and older. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
