Severe weather like tropical storms and hurricanes can have a devastating, lasting impact on the lives and infrastructure in affected areas. Massive power outages, severe flooding, and even mudslides can make shipping supplies like emergency portable generators difficult.
Each storm brings its own challenges. Weather and road conditions change rapidly by the minute and we cannot guarantee delivery as a result of shipping challenges like: mandatory evacuations, road closures, and container or driver shortages, etc.
Whether you're considering to purchase an emergency generator or already placed an order, you can count on Electric Generators Direct to help you weather the storm. We are prepared by stocking our warehouse and distribution centers before the season so that we can get your products on the road and on its way to you.
Shipping Company Service Advisories
Already Placed an Order
If you've already placed an order, you will begin receiving shipping notifications from either FedEx or a Freight Carrier. The difference will be determined by the weight of the generator and if it was in-stock at the time it was ordered.
Once your order is onto a truck, you will receive shipping notifications with a tracking number that allows you to track your shipment with notifications sent to your e-mail. Hurricanes can cause service distruptions that are outside of anyone's control, we encourage you to stay up to date on information impacting your area.
We apologize for any inconvenience these delays may cause. Our team is working hard to ensure you receive your merchandise and we appreciate your patience as we work through the aftermath of these storms.
Our Shipping Policies
We offer several different shipping options to get you what you need in the most expedient manner.
The most common question we receive is, "How fast can I get my generator?" The answer: It depends.
By far, the most important step is ordering your emergency generator as soon as possible. Even if you can't get it in time before the storm hits, you will at least be able to get it as humanly possible when shipping resumes. While the storm may last a day, you may still be without power for days after, sometimes even weeks after. Having an emergency generator will help you for this period and be there for you for when you need it next.
Next-Day / 2-Day Air
If you need a generator as fast as possible, Next-Day and 2-Day Air is your best bet.
UPDATE Monday, September 11: Due to service distruptions we are unable to offer Next-Day and 2-Day Air to any location in the state of Florida and to parts of Georgia and South Carolina.
To easily find an eligible generator:
Please keep in mind, that even with overnight shipping, your generator is still not guaranteed to make it to you in the allotted time for reasons such as: government ordered mandatory evacuations, road closures, flight groundings, closing of airports, etc. To keep up-to-date on changing conditions, go to the FedEx website.
Return & Cancellation Policies
During uncertain times, people need certainty and we completely understand this. We strive to provide the best possible service by giving customers all of the information needed to get the right generator in a timely manner. By preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, you will find that your situation will be much better than those who just hope for the best and are without power. Even if a storm doesn't knock out your power completely, you will be ready for the next one and find many great uses for your new generator.
Expertise and Service
At Electric Generators Direct, we pride ourselves on being the best in the business by providing customers with expert advice, friendly customer service, and the largest selection of portable and home standby generators.

Artemisia absinthium Common name: Wormwood
Family: Asteraceae
Parts used: Leaf & flowering top
Constituents: Volatile oils (thujone, absitol, azulenes), terpenoids, bitter sesquiterpenes & bitter sesquiterpene lactones (artemisinin), triterpenoid, flavone glycoside, hydroxycoumarins
Medicinal actions: Anti-parasitic, anthelmintic, anti-neoplastic, bitter tonic & digestive stimulant, carminative, anti-microbial, choleretic, emmenagogue, aromatic, mental stimulant, narcotic, immuno-stimulant, anti-inflammatory, emmenagogue, diuretic.
Medicinal use: CNS depressant and uterine stimulant. Antimalarial and anti-cancer. The common name, Wormwood, signifies its use as an anthelmintic (especially against roundworm and pinworm). Can be used to aid withdrawal of benzodiazepine addiction and as an antidepressant or sleep aid. Will promote appetite and bile secretions as wells as absorption of nutrients. Can be applied topically for rheumatic pains.
- Volatile oils such as thujone are nervous system stimulants and in high doses, toxic to the CNS and liver. Azulene is anti-inflammatory.
- Sesquiterpene lactones (absinthin, artabsin, santoinin) have bitter action which stimulates taste buds and by reflex action increases appetite, gastric secretions, bile flow, and promotes digestion.
- Santonin is also insecticidal, anti-tumor and paralyzes worms.
Pharmacy: Infusion: 1-2 g, 1/2 cup water (extremely bitter!). Tincture: (1:1, 25%), 1-4 ml TID. Lotion or oil externally over intact skin. Use short-term or pulse-dosing (4-5 weeks).
Toxicity: Artemisia (primarily thujone isolated and in high doses) is very toxic to the CNS, causing paralysis, decreased coordination, and (euphoric) hallucinations. These effects are said to be reversible. Thujone is not well preserved in water, thus water extractions are safer than alcohol extractions. Long-term or high dosing may irritate stomach and dangerously affect the heart and arteries.
Contraindications: The use of Artemisia is contraindicated in pregnancy, lactation, gastric and peptic ulcers, irritable nervous states, and seizure disorders.
Interactions: May need to be combined with iron for optimal efficacy.

Day 72
Iguanas are a lot smaller.
Well today we have finally seen our iguana friend out from the roof on the back steps of our landing. Somewhere lost in translation take 2; a few days back we asked our homestay host what was in the roof and he said a harmless iguana.
Well we have gone from a harmless iguana to a massive f*)#ing komodo dragon. It is huge, would easily be 30-40kg. We had to Google to find out what it was and confirm our iguana in the roof wasn't on steroids. He must have went out for the morning while we went to the beach and is returning home and is as scared of us as we are of him but as we opened the door he didn't run away just stood still watching us on the steps.
Then the old house keeper came around with his dog Tue and with his broom stick and his faithful dog began to fight the dragon. Tue V Komodo Dragon round 1 all the steps.
The old guy was trying to get the dragon back into the jungle but he wanted to go back into his roof home but we were between him and the roof and dog was between him and the jungle so he was undecided. This went on for a while and then we decided to go inside the room to see if the old man would let him go up the stairs into the roof. No he finally got the dragon off the stairs and Tue even though wearing a few swift whips of the tail to the snout finished the fight by getting the dragon back into the jungle. The old guy was just trying to look after us and has more than likely had to shoe it away more than once. We then went out for lunch and returned to do the girls school work.
Round 2 Komodo Dragon V Roof.
The girls noticed the dragon returning home again up the back steps, so we again popped our heads out for a look. Same story, he just stood and stared at us for a while. This time we went back inside and let him progress up to his house. He tried to crawl into the roof below our place and got stuck, I think because we were watching him through the window he was all puffed up so he backed out and had another go, still couldn't fit we decided to film it was actually quite funny his tail in the air swinging as he is trying to fit in the roof below. He ended up having a rest half way in but still did not fit so returned to the jungle on this failed attempt to return home. We then returned to school work for the afternoon before venturing out for a quick swim prior to dinner. Needless to say our walks out of an evening will include a torch and we are on the look out for the big guy.
Day 73
There is more than 1 Komodo Dragon.
Today we had the same routine as yesterday morning, after breakfast went out for a swim and then returned for some school work.
This time we saw a dragon on the wall but a little smaller than the one we saw yesterday. When we started to come up the back steps and it quickly ran into the roof cavity. We all showered up and are now on Komodo Dragon watch. We suspect this might be the big guy's lady friend, we are not Attenborough and really have no idea but it was a good story for Spring to take on.
The story has the same sort of story line as Shrek and Princess Fiona, they have little baby dragons. The girls got on with some school work, Summer checked over itinerary and I kept first watch for Mr Komodo. He didn't return on my watch as the girls finished up there work we then headed out for lunch. We like to go to the Hut for the cheap Roti, I have 2 x vegetarian roti 80c each, summer has chicken and cheese at $3, autumn has cheese at $2 and spring has banana at $1.50. This ties us over until dinner time, is freshly cooked and real good value. Returned for some more school work and then out for a swim as it was a beautiful afternoon. Stayed for a drink down the beach and watched the sun set as it was just too nice a night to come in.
Returned to the room for a quick shower and then up the street to the Pink Elephant for dinner. This is right next door to our favourite restaurant the Hut and I would have to say very close to pipping it on their mains, only if they did rotties would they take the mantle for me.
Day 74
Iguanas are here for real
Today we did the same routine as yesterday, breakfast out to the beach for a swim, return, shower school work prior to lunch. We have to get all the work submitted for Spring before the end of term. Unfortunately for Autumn she gets no break and just keeps going through because she has more work to do and is behind. We are going to make sure in second term that Autumn stays on top of it so we can all have a proper half year break.
While the girls were showering after their swim, Summer spotted something moving in the trees. We had a close look and it was a real iguana. This did not look remotely like a Komodo dragon. Actually I reckon the only thing they would have in common is being a lizard. Anyway it was really camouflaged and blended in well with the tree as it was trying to eat the little insects for some morning tea. Showed the girls what an iguana is supposed to look like, and then moved on with school work.
We then went out for lunch at the Hut but it was shut (poet didn't know it) so we just walked up the street a little to another roty shop. It was OK but not as good as the Hut and more expensive. Returned to our room and Big Mr Komodo was again on the steps looking to get home. Old man broom stick and Tue to the rescue again. This time we were all a little more game and got closer to the action as we were still on the ground floor.
Round 3 Komodo Dragon v Old Man Broom Stick and Tue.
Broom stick prevented the big fella from going up the stairs any further and Tue just kept barking and sending the dragon the wrong way, towards us at pace. We all sh&t, Summer and Spring did the bolt to the dining room. Tue separated Old man, Autumn and I from the dragon. The old fella give me his broom stick and I tried to shoe the dragon away by hitting the ground, all I managed to do was break his broom stick into 3 pieces.
The dragon stayed and watched us as we quickly went around behind him and ran up the stairs. Into the safety of the rooms we were definitely on high alert dragon watch. After we all settled down it was into some more school work a couple of hours. We were interrupted by the big guy trying the stairs again, this time we stayed inside and just watched as he entered the roof cavity below. He managed to fit this time after 2 failed attempts. We heard some movement in the roof about half an hour later and stuck our heads out to see what was going on Mrs Komodo had her head sticking out and a young buff Komodo was climbing up the wall, we saw them both enter the roof together.
It definitely wasn't the big guy because he cannot move that fast. My Shrek, Princess Fiona story is now flawed as Mrs Komodo has moved on to a younger more agile dragon. We have also gone from 1 harmless iguana to 2 komodo dragons in the roof for sure and 1 big guy in the roof below. Went out for a swim before dinner and saw the big guy with his head facing the stairs in the roof cavity below. He looked heart broken, no actually he looked half asleep as we walked past him and on our return was actually asleep in the same spot.

I LOVED IT. Alistair is a gifted teacher. He makes everyone feel great. Even the absolute beginners were bobbing along fine. I enjoyed the exercises which were playful and easy. And made me understand how the emphasis on different beats within the salsa rhythm can change. Is that why different men dance so differently? And I loved every word that Alistair explained about theory. A fountain of knowledge.
THANK YOU! Please come back soon!

It's so horrible that it's the only solution. The narcs act like we just willy-nilly decide to stop talking to them. They have no idea how agonizing a decision it is.ReplyDelete

It was a hard decision for me to make and my mother is a goddamn sociopath.ReplyDelete
True, all true.
They trained me so well that I was responsible for them that it made it a difficult decision to walk away from people who were abusive to me on a daily basis. And then they went around trumpeting to the world at large that I was bad, bad, bad for leaving them. They used any and every weapon at their disposal to try to stop me, hurt me, beat me, and they're still trying to do the same to my DD's.
What sweet relief to be able to slam the door.
Every damned time.

You said it! This week, DH and DS had a dentist appointment in another town, and who walks in but a good friend of NM. I've been NC with the NFOO for several years now, and hadn't seen the friend in more years than that, but she recognized DS, then my DH. She told DH she had heard *all about* how we weren't in contact anymore. I'm sure she heard an earful, and none of it the truth. Now I expect them to try to get to DS again (it had been quiet for months). Dang.Delete

As hard as I come down on my mother she is still my mother. I would have endured her destructive ways, but she always wants blood. And she gets it.ReplyDelete
If I could have thought of a way to be around her and be immune to the destruction she sponsors I probably would.
She is too good at what she does.
My life and every one in my family's was destroyed by her casual whims.
She is toxic waste.
There is a life time limit to her exposure and she finally reached it.
One of the assholes in my life demanded no contact and I complied. Now HE won't leave me alone!ReplyDelete
Gee, maybe I'm important after all?
In my situation, sticking around would have been Colluding With The Enemy. And condoning the on-going use/abuse whether it was being perpetrated on me or any other unfortunate who happened to stray in her "path."ReplyDelete
No thanks, I'm NOT gonna be associated with THAT. It's simply indefensible: Once you see behind the Mask, you know no one is safe and you can't save 'em either. They'll either figure it out or they won't and in the meantime, the price to you and your loved ones in every way is incalculable.
Good reminder---here in the thick of "hoover" season.ReplyDelete
The N in my life just tried to press the "reset button" with me , via email....As if there'd been no falling out...
Are they really not in the same zip code as Reality??
It boggles my mind.
Less is more, indeed.
No, thank you. My peace of mind is far too valuable to me.Replies
The reset button - ah, the fresh scent of bullshit. Don'tcha just love it? ;)Delete
I don't think they live in the state of Reality - they live in the state of Delusion.
Kick em' right the fuck out, Freestyle. They can take their shit and shove it.
I wish I could kick mine out--she's right.next.door.ReplyDelete
It's more like duck, dodge, and avoid, on my end.
There will never be another conversation without an unbiased witness present. Ever.
Since she's smeared me left & right--fat chance of finding anyone unbiased.Someday, I'll write out the story--but right now--it's just too in my face--I don't want to give it too much of my energy. I'm just trying to regain equilibrium for now.
Yep--the "reset button" was one of my favorite articles on Natalie's Baggage Reclaim site--she's brilliant.... :0) I had a lot of light bulb moments, reading that one.
Amen amen amen. :)ReplyDelete

Starting a business from home and being your own boss is something millions dream of. You will be successful with it if you gain knowledge about the process and avoid common errors. Use the information laid out here to make your business efficient and profitable.
If you need to have the Internet, make sure you take the tax deduction for this expense. You can deduct some of the cost from your profits, but you cannot claim more than 50% if you also use it for personal use.
If you take a client out to eat as part of your business, make sure that you deduct this expense from your taxes. Many of these types of meetings are considered to be tax-deductible business expenses. Remember, these meetings must pertain to work and are with viable clients or potential clients, otherwise, they cannot be allowed as a tax deduction.
Running a online business takes hard work and dedication. Finding a good niche is one of the first things you must do when starting a home based business. It can be quite helpful if you pick an area that showcases your expertise. Do all the research you can before you start doing anything else. Make sure to network as well with others that have created successful home businesses.
When you no longer have inventory of a given item, be sure to inform potential buyers. It's very upsetting to order an item and then find out that the shipment will take weeks or longer. If you are out of stock, give your customer a choice.
A great thing for any work from home business is to have a Post Office Box. Don't put your real address on the Internet under any circumstances. This helps safeguard your identity as well as the identity of your family.
Make sure that you are not breaking any laws or ordinances in your area. If you don't, you may end up being put out of business or charged hefty fines, and that can be quite embarrassing. Also remember that a neighbor-friendly attitude goes right along with making sure you comply with the letter of the law. This means that you keep the signs to a minimum and limit traffic to and from your home. Do your best to remain unobtrusive.
You may need help if your business is a daycare and you have several children. You will have a hard time without help if you have a lot of kids to care for.
It's not as difficult to start a home based business as it may sound. There are many simple business models capable of being run in your own home, eliminating the need and expense of an office or storefront. Think of what products and services you would like to see in your area, then think of what would be required to start offering that.
Discuss potential tax write-offs with an accountant or tax professional. Speak to them ahead of opening your business so you're prepared from day one. Mileage, for example, is deductible if it relates to your business.
To be successful with your online business, it is crucial that you're aware of the amount you are spending to create a product. A good rule to use for sales is to charge twice what it cost to make the product. Some will charge upwards of three times this amount.
One of the most cost efficient ways of advertising is through the internet. Create an easily accessible website that your customers can use. Make sure that your website's content is pertinent to your customers. Encourage them to communicate with you and place orders online. Look for more ways on how to make a great website for your company.
Keep records that document all expenditures you make for your online business on a day-by-day basis. This will clear up any problems with your tax deductions when filing taxes, or if you happen to be audited.
One thing you need to keep in mind when you're running a home business enterprise is that you must keep track of what you need to start your business. This is because you will then have the ability to comparison shop for great prices.
Unless you are a birthday party clown, you don't need a wild website design for your business. Graphics that are too distracting may be great if you have a website for children or something similar, but don't put them on a professional site about anything else.
Organize your website so your visitors can easily find where they can order products. Name the stores at which your product is available, for example. This will generate trust and respect among your customer base.
You should make your office easy to get around in and easy to work in. Straining your neck to see your computer screen is extremely unhealthy, and it can even lead to permanent neck injury. Buy a comfortable desk chair, especially if you spend a lot of hours in front of your computer. You should also have good lighting, a good keyboard and mouse. A budget worth about $200 can help you purchase a lot of key items.
Do not forget that if you spend money entertaining your clients, it can be written off on your taxes. On your taxes, the dinners you took your clients to can be used as a deductible. It is crucial that you keep the receipts from these dinners for proof.
As a sole business owner, be sure you control all financial decisions. Letting your spouse have a card linked to the business account can be a bad idea if they use it for anything else; it can become a mess trying to untangle what was and was not tax deductible.
Working out of your own home and being your own boss sounds to many like a dream come true. You need the right advice when pursuing this type of business. The advice in this article will help you to be successful and give you an advantage over your competition.

Two killed in clashes between two communities in AssamOctober 3rd, 2008 - 9:01 pm ICT by IANS
Guwahati, Oct 3 (IANS) At least two people were killed, one of them in police firing, and 10 injured, besides dozens of houses were burnt Friday in Assam's Udalguri district in clashes between two communities, the police said.A police spokesman said one person was killed when the police opened fire on a group of miscreants trying to set ablaze houses and attack members of a rival community near Rowta in Udalguri district, about 100 km north of Assam's main city of Guwahati.
"The death toll is now two with one person killed in clashes, while the other died in police firing. In separate incidents of clashes, at least 10 people were wounded," a police official said.
Armed miscreants set ablaze about 30 houses and a market in Rowta and adjoining villages.
"The situation is tense and the police and the paramilitary troopers were deployed in strength to prevent the situation from escalating and taking a communal colour," an official said.
The immediate provocation for the clashes was the attack on a group of Village Defence Party (VDP) volunteers early Friday by armed miscreants.
"The VDP members belonged to the tribal Bodo community and were attacked by members of a religious minority group and that sparked off the clashes," the official said.
Senior police and civil officials have rushed to the area to defuse the clashes with army soldiers asked to be on standby.
In August, the area witnessed similar clashes between two communities in which about 10 people were killed and several injured.

Life Insurance
What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance pays a lump sum upon death. Most insurers also will advance the death benefit to an insured on the diagnosis of a Terminal Illness. It is one of the easiest products to understand and it's usually the first one that people think of when discussing insurance. The cost is based on the amount of cover you want as well as your age, occupation, gender, smoking status and your health – i.e. height/weight ratio.
How is it paid?
Life Insurance is paid as a lump sum benefit upon your death or diagnosis of a terminal illness. The sum insured is payable to the policy owner who could be a spouse, business partner, a self managed super fund or some other party.
What is the purpose of the cover?
The lump sum payment provides a capital amount that could:
- allow your family to repay debts including mortgage, personal loans, credit cards, etc.
- provide an income for your dependants to pay for living expenses, school fees, child care and regular bills.
- protect your business if a key person or principal dies.
- provide a cash deposit to the estate, which may prevent other assets being sold.
- create an estate that can provide for children/grandchildren etc.
- provide a benefit to a nominated charity or service organization of the deceased's choosing. Charities such as Cancer Council and Heart Foundation.

Over the years, I've become a big fan of internet radio stations. It's a great way to discover new music, see what's going on in music scenes in other parts of the country, and hear in-studio performances and interviews. One of the great things about technology is that it's become possible to listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world, as long as you have a computer and stable internet connection. Below, I've compiled a list of seven of my favorite online radio stations. Hopefully, you find some great, new music!
radio advertising does not work. In fact, it is called spiking. What it does is it provides a massive amount of business for the advertiser but very small window of opportunity; thus, resulting less worthy returns. Sometimes, the cost of radio advertising exceeds profit and income from selling a house.
The legendary rocker has done it all from his music career to reality star and show host. With more than 25 albums sold, 15 top 40 hits and winning "Celebrity Apprentice: Season 3," Michaels' career continues to move after more than 20 years in the entertainment business. His current album "Custom Built" debuted at no. 1 on the hard rock and independent charts. His new VH1 show "Life as I Know It" premieres October 18.
Five artists — Morris Stoloff, Bill Parsons, Phil Phillips, The Jaynetts and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown — managed to have a No. 2 charter but nothing else, while two made it to No, 3 and three to No. 4 as true one-hit wonders.
People that host internet radio Shows are always looking for interesting guests. You can find internet radio Shows by going to blogtalkradio (just type blogtalkradio in a search engine to find them). Listen to a few shows to find people talking about your topic. Then contact them and ask if they'd be interested in having you as a guest. Most of the times the hosts will be thrilled to have you on their show. Just remember to give a lot of content and only promote yourself when the host opens the floor to do so.
Through Eddie Cochran's manager (who also became her manager), Sheeley began writing songs for the singer (and dating him, too). In early 1960, Cochran died in a car accident while on touring England. Sheeley and singer Gene Vincent, who were passengers, were seriously hurt but recovered from their injuries. After the accident, she returned to the U.S. and formed a songwriting partnership with DeShannon, producing the hits "Dum Dum" by Brenda Lee and "The Great Imposter" by The Fleetwoods, among others.
If this seems like a bulky operation, it is, but well worth it. There are other options that will cost a bit more, and entail less work on your part. Some services are as low as $25 per month per line, and will include automatic email reporting so all you need to do is open an email once a month to see the data, neatly arranged in a variety of custom formats to suit your individual needs. The bottom line is the need to know how well your ads are working. If your advertising budget is more than $500 a month, it is a must. More than $2,000 a month and it is critical. Not only can you see if an ad is working, but you can do split tests where you change the wording, or change the offer in the ad to see which gets a better response. Getting the most from your money is the smart thing to do!

By Dr. Jennifer Richardson
With the holidays nearing and reunification with family and friends fastapproaching, there is much to look forward to and prepare for. However, as thekids and we are shuffled from city to city and holiday party after holidayparty, there are ample opportunities for the holidays to become a source ofstress. Staying in tune with how we arefeeling, what we are thinking, and what we need for ourselves and from othersis especially important during these times. While spending time reconnectingwith family and friends can be rejuvenating and fun, it can also start to feela bit overwhelming or exhausting if too much is piled into our schedules all atonce. Maintaining a balance of quality experiences versus quantity ofexperiences may be important to consider as the holiday party RSVP's are comingcloser.
In moments when we start to feel stretched too thin and overextended,we become more susceptible to responding ineffectively to our feelings of irritability,fatigue, and impatience. For example, we might be more likely to raise ourvoices and snap at a spouse for leaving a dish in the sink or to yell at thekids for not taking out the trash the first time he/she was asked. Considertaking some time going into this holiday season to plan how to best manage yourtime while balancing spending some quality time with friends and family.Remember to check in with yourself each day and ask yourself, "What am Ifeeling right now? What am I thinking about that is contributing to thisfeeling, and what is it that I need right now to effectively respond to thesituation?" Once you are able to identify what it is you feel you need in thatmoment, try asking for it. For example, instead of responding to a feeling ofbeing overwhelmed by saying to your husband, "You are so inconsiderate! I can't believe you left your dirty socks inthe living room again when your parents are coming over any minute." Try sayingsomething like, "I am feeling really overwhelmed right now trying to get thehouse ready for when your parents arrive, could you please help me out bycleaning up your things in the living room and keeping the kids occupied whileI finish vacuuming?" In order to respond effectively to how you feel and what youneed it requires first being in tune with yourself and what you are feeling. Sotake some moments this holiday season to tune in with yourself and you might bepleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Thomas Friedman's new book, called "Thank you for being late," warns us about the latest crisis facing Americans called the Great Acceleration.
The Great Acceleration is about massive techno economic change and the belief that the rate of change is increasing exponentially. Now this won't surprise anyone who was around the tech industry during the dotcom boom.
The biggest contribution to our discussion of makerspace development comes in the concept of "dynamic stability." You can think of dynamic stability as the feeling you get when riding in a car traveling at a speed where you can't make out the scenery as it passes by.
On the other hand, after a certain amount of time traveling at this speed you adjust and proceed as though nothing has changed.

Have a question?
Gerald Kelel on
I pledged to this project in order to get Android apps on my Dell Venue 8 Pro which was specifically targeted as one the first device to get Console OS. That was two years ago and there has been nothing, but excuses. Now there is the damning accusations of simply copying other's code. I would like a refund based on this blatant misrepresentation.
TriOptimum on
Also, don't accuse me of spamming, I've never heard of the issue before and only I'm asking you to explain what's happening between you and the android x86 project you linked to (if you hadn't linked to it, I never would have seen his statement). If you reply rudely or try to censor me you will look guilty (you tell people below kickstarter will remove their posts because you don't like them and consider them trolling, but they never did, because they don't violate ToS).
TriOptimum on
One of the links you posted in your recent update, to Android x86, accuses you of being a scam and stealing code from Android x86 on their front page (from the author of that project): http://www.android-x86.org/
Hi all,
[CC this to Android-IA list since the guy continues
lying on Android-IA list]
Honestly speaking, I really have no time to check what
Christopher Price and his crappy Console OS did recently.
But I'm getting more and more private requests to ask me
to stop him from stealing the Android-x86 effort.
So as the project leader of the Android-x86 project,
I think I need to do something.
As a background for new comers who haven't heard
the story of Console OS, here is a brief:
Christopher Price started a project called Console OS
at Kickstart in the middle 2014. He promised
"We've rebuilt Android™ to be a primary operating system
for your PC, 2-in-1 or PC Tablet. Over 100 new features
built-in already..."
Christopher also announced his Kickstart campaign
on the android-x86 list to seek for support.
He claimed Console OS will be shipped at the end of 2014.
Finally he succeeded to collect $78,497 for the project.
However, without any real demo and detailed explanation
how he could achieve his goal, the android-x86 community
quickly exposed this is just a scam and banned this guy forever.
In Dec 2014 Christopher released a first test build of Kitkat
called DR1 to his backers only. However, according to
the comments of some backers, this is just a copy of
android-ia image without any promised features.
Most devices he promised to support cannot install
or even boot the DR1.
While most of his backers are waiting for an update of Kitkat DR2,
Christopher claimed he was moving the development
of Console OS to Android 5.x (Lollipop) since most backers
voted to do so. However,
he is unable to deliver any Lollipop build one year later.
He made many excuses like the most devices have
32-bit UEFI (which is never an issue of android-x86),
Intel didn't support Core processors
(which are supported by android-x86) anymore, and
the Lollipop Logjam (I really have no idea what it is).
Two months ago after the android-x86 5.1-rc1 released,
Christopher claimed he will "open source" the code of
Console OS soon to speed up the development.
Several days ago I was informed the
"Console OS source code" finally appears in github:
Guess what it is?
It's just a copy and forked of Android-x86 5.1-rc1
by renaming Android-x86 to ConsoleOS:
Android-x86 -> ConsoleOS
Update generic makefiles for ConsoleOS needs
The code can't lie.
Except the two commits listed above you
couldn't find any commit made by the Console OS.
There is no any feature developed by them.
According the announcement in the Console OS Facebook
(my comments for each item below)
"What is on GitHub, right now?
* The Android-x86 Core, with some of our improvements
==> at least he is honest that he uses android-x86 code,
but what's the improvements??
* Device-specific build targets for BayTrail-T
==> well, just renaming
* A new home screen, Trebuchet (from CyanogenMod)
==> how could you called it an improvement by just
adding a launcher from another open source project?
besides, where is the source?
* Intel drivers (though many are not active yet)
==> actually all of them are not active
Strictly speaking, this guy is legally to fork android-x86
and sell it because this project is open source licensed
(via Apache License, GNU GPL or BSD-like licenses
depends on the components you use).
At first I hope I can just ignored what this guy did
and continue our development,
But after reading more evidences including the
comments of his backers and others,
I think I could endure it no longer.
Christopher Price continues cheating his backers
and all others that "his team" is developing an OS which
is much better than other competitors (including android-x86):
However, one year and a half later,
the guy just copied and renamed android-x86
and then claimed this is his amazing OS!
All the developers of android-x86 including me
have spent many sleepless nights to code,
test and debug android-x86 to make it better,
but this guy just copied it to deceive his backers.
The dishonest actions do hurt the android-x86
community very much.
I have to clarify I'm not against the business.
Using android-x86 to do some business is totally fine.
If at the time his Kickstart campaign began,
he honestly described he will use and ship
a unmodified (just renamed) android-x86 product,
and the backers still support it. I'm fine with it.
If he does make some improvements based
on the android-x86 code, I'm glad to see so.
However, cheating the world that he is developing
something amazing on Kickstart in 2014
but finally just copied an open source project that
he degraded at first (see the competitive chart on his site)
is very immoral.
When Kickstart campaign began in 2014, he promised
you "A" (a much better stuff) and accept your money,
but now he just deliver you "B" (a totally different stuff).
If you are a backer, can you accept?
If this is not a scam, what is a scam?
IMO, Christopher Price and his Console OS is
*a cancer* that lives by the nutrient of android-x86.
If we can't cut it immediately, he will continue
absorbing the effort of android-x86 and finally
choke this project.
So if you still cherish the small achievements
we have done so far, please help me to
stop this guy from hurting the community.
I beg for your assistance including
* If you know some media reporters,
tell them the truth about Console OS.
Ask your friends to publish some news
about the failed story of Console OS.
Forward letter to anyone who heard the
Console OS and tell them the truth.
* If you are a backer, tell Kickstart and other backers
the facts. Question Kickstart why they allow
such a scam existing on its platform.
Consider to take legal action to stop the scam.
* I believe some developers from the community
are helping Christopher Price to make the fraud.
I ask you stop doing so since you're playing with fire.
Let us know if you have any other idea to stop this guy.
Please keep the discussion rational in this thread.
Avoid words that may result in flaming war.
Also avoid simply reply like "I agree" or "I support you".
Please express your support by doing the above items
or any useful thing you think.
Finally, if you still believe Christopher Price and his vaporware,
just go away since you are not welcome.

@Marco - Console OS is a software product. And you can download it, right now at http://account.console.com.co/
We regret that we're English-only, but we only committed to that from the outset. Physical perks should be discussed in the next update for those waiting for Backer Plus update. We are working to get those couple hundred or so items shipped.

Ich frage mich, wann ich endlich mal etwas Physisches in den Händen halten kann, schließlich habe ich für dieses Ding bezahlt!? Ich gehe von Betrug aus und hätte gern mein Geld zurück!!!
Klar könnte ich diesen Text auch in englisch schreiben, aber diesen Respekt dürfen Betrüger von mir nicht erwarten!

Update #33 is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mmv/console-os-dual-boot-android-remastered-for-the-pc/posts/1505967
Update #34 should roll out some time tomorrow. It will include release notes and more details about Lollipop that will make it easier for backer to get acquainted. This will be alongside Wiki updates over the next week ahead of general availability.
Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
@Sravan - We promised to post all the details for Console Developer Rewards by month's end, and we're going to get that rolling before midnight.
We held an all-hands series of meetings over the past 24 hours, on something unrelated (but very cool). Once we get some rest, the Lollipop documentation is next up.
When we say advanced, we mean it. Our goal over the Lollipop cycle is to replace the Advanced install path completely... it's just not meant for the average person, so documentation on that route may be sparse, at least at first.
On the plus side, it will augment the Android-x86 community with more/better documentation, much as our Build Instructions and guides do on the Wiki already (those are going to get a few updates based on similar feedback we've gotten over the past week from Viewers Like You™ too).
Sravan Reddy on
Good to hear that. Also i wasnt able to find the instructions for console os advanced , can you point me to the same

Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
To be clear, we intend to continue building out Lollipop and working to resolve these issues. Marshmallow is months off from being stable enough to ship beyond alpha testing.
Sravan Reddy on
@ Creator - Thanks for releasing the Android L version of Console OS.
Things which work great
2) Touchscreen
3) Audio
etc etc
Things that dont work
1) The bundled gallery app
2) Any app which is downloaded from Amazon app store
I go to m.youtube.com on the browser and i get Audio and no Video
Any application that is installed crashes immediately
First came the DR1 , then now the lollipop and now you say you are working on Marshmallow.
I would like you to please take a break and reconsider this move.
First get a stable and bug free version of lollipop out and then worry about the next release. Dont go by marketing and other blah blah blah stuff. Your backers are who trust in you, you lose their trust and nothing will matter anymore.
Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
@Keith - Sorry, you can download our Lollipop release right now at http://account.console.com.co/ and we're already at work on Marshmallow.
Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
Well, we fixed the server issues, and updated the account software with a patch from our vendor...
... unfortunately, it didn't fix the password reset bug.
So, what we've done is deployed an SSL certificate. This is only supposed to take a few hours to verify and activate, and it will make sure the password reset system work properly. Plus, our account system will then be secure end-to-end.
In our testing, password reset is now working on https://account.console.com.co/ (Note the https).
For the next few hours, you may get a certificate error. This is because the Let's Encrypt system has to co-sign the certificate. So, we won't send any updates out until tomorrow to be extra-extra sure.
We're using the Let's Encrypt certificate for the first time, and we are excited to begin deploying it to all Console sites, and making https the default going forward!
P.S. If you are using an old web browser, time to update. IE7 and earlier will have issues with Let's Encrypt. Chrome still works with Windows XP (for now), and Console OS fully supports Let's Encrypt domain names.

Hi all, we got a new IP from our host. It's propagating the DNS zone file right now, may take 2-3 hours to roll out... hopefully should fix things.
We are not skipping a beat, and have moved over to rolling out Console Developer Rewards, as promised this month, late today.

Hi everyone, quick update.
We have a patch that should (emphasis, should) fix the password reset bug. Unfortunately, our host provider moved us to a new server (we suspect, to keep up with the demand - now that we're shipping Lollipop).
Well, as our Murphy's Law would have it, that move broke the SSH salts. We've opened a support ticket - we've hit a wall at this hour otherwise. It's particularly frustrating because we're really confident we can fix this bug, but our server won't let us in to fix it.
We'll keep you updated as we go, as usual.

We're updating our account software right now. Don't panic if it goes offline for the next few hours, thanks!

@ Steve Clark: Wow, couldn't be more wrong. As some clearly disagree below - we are excited to be shipping Lollipop and we're already working on Marshmallow.

What a ripoff.. Where is my refund? You realize you have lost all credibility for life. Hope that 78K was worth it!

This is simply not true, don't feed the trolls folks. We've posted at-length on how we are differentiating already.

It is not possible for my statement about spending time looking at commits to be false, because it happened. Every commit I looked at was a merge of code from other sources. As I said, I did not count configuration file changes. Feel free to provide counter-examples, but as we've all learned "we are not going to engage" is Prician for "I don't have a real rebuttal."
Others have reported that there is no discernible difference between the latest Console OS release and Android-x86, which certainly jives with my observations above.
Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
We are not going to engage with the false claims of the user below. Kickstarter has said they will remove him/her shortly. We apologize to backers for the repeated delays, Kickstarter has not explained to us why it takes over a week to purge an inflammatory backer in cases like these.
ACH on
Unlike you I am not trying to use verbal gymnastics. I meant exactly what I said.
It is objectively true that I spent awhile looking through the commits and everything I saw was either a direct copy-over from android-x86 (lollipop or marshmallow, doesn't really matter) or Intel. If you have specific counter-examples, by all means feel free.
Mobile Media Ventures, Inc. Creator on
That is just not true, we have taken actions to ban the user below. Unfortunately it has taken Kickstarter over a week to process those actions, and we discourage people from listening to him/her.
ACH on
"There is a product out there that has been created for us to see. This is the second version even!"
Yeah, the product is called android-x86 and it's had a lot more than two versions. After spending quite awhile looking at the iConsole repositories commits I was not able to find any code that wasn't copied from either android-x86 or Intel. Maybe some configuration changes but that's about it.

@mmv Definitely agree with Jason, and I can't find anywhere in the web saying Android IA is canned except you. I feel cheated when all I want is an apple and you are giving me an orange. I am requesting refund once again.

Please stop playing the victim. Makes you look more pathetic. For, it is you who has apparently stolen money from over 5,600 backers!
you said you had already built the thing we bought. (consoleos PRO - for me and a friend!!)
then you made up some crap survey saying people opted for Lollipop. Requests to see the survey results were ignored.
then "upstream driver troubles".
Don't forget about avoiding the big "ShakeDown"
then it was made clear you were apparently lying and selling us code you were offensively re-branding and passing off as your own work.
I paid for my right to be here, and ask questions, talk to my fellow backers, etc.
@ backers ... want to see who creator of this CON OS job really is?
To share your experience of purchasing this CON OS, you might consider contacting the FTC:

Guest Post By: Nadia Chaudhry. Nadia is an aspiring multi-passionate entrepreneur. She wants the world to know about digital entrepreneurship and exactly how you can live a lifestyle that is completely location-independent with the ability to turn any place with an internet connection into your office. She talks about this mobile lifestyle and more on her blog: http://www.nadiachaudhry.com.
When I wake up in the morning, I put on my superhero outfit. It's my cloak, my mask, my secret weapon, all wrapped into one. A superhero's identity is hidden, but when you see their garb, you know exactly what they stand for. It's a proclamation of their beliefs. It doesn't necessarily hide them from view and may even seem to point them out deliberately. However, this gives them unimaginable power, the power of an idea, which cannot be destroyed. It's my hijab, the scarf I choose to wrap around my head because I am a Muslim.
Just like a superhero, it makes you stronger.
Let me tell you why I wear it: It makes me a stronger Muslim. Do you think a superhero would be as powerful without the costume? The costume makes the superhero. Superman. Batman. Spiderman. The first image to your head was their costume, wasn't it? When Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, or Peter Parker puts on that outfit, do you think those moments mean nothing to them. You can just imagine that as they put on those clothes, they are mentally preparing themselves for what they're about to do. Heck, in the movies, they have whole scenes where they're just putting on their outfit. Aren't those powerful scenes? When Bruce Wayne becomes Batman: we see the costume in its glass case, we see the bat symbol on his chest, he puts on the suit, he tugs on his gloves, pulls down his mask, and you see the ripple of the cloak. It is the moment where his beliefs, values, and identity truly becomes manifest. When I put on my scarf, I go through the same mental preparation every day, whether I realize it or not.
Every day the hijab reminds me of who I am and what I believe in. Let me tell you the most powerful thing it does: it protects me from me. It reminds me of what I stand for, which gives me that extra push to do the right thing and be the right person. It helps to prevent me from temptation because it compels me to be stronger. My faith is attached to this tangible object that symbolically wraps my mind in a certain attitude. The hijab is much more than a scarf.
Just like a superhero, wearing it comes with responsibilities.
With great power, comes great responsibility. I am a symbol. Wearing the hijab means you have to live your life a certain way, at least, you're supposed to. When you wear the hijab, you represent Islam, just like a superhero represents justice. Everything you do will show the world that this is what a Muslim does. You have the responsibility to show the true image of Islam.
Just like a superhero, certain evils run from you while others are drawn to you.
You know the blessings of wearing it, just as well as the consequences. It's no easy thing to walk out your door with it on. It keeps certain evils away from me, evils that would otherwise tempt me. It invites the right people to me. Other Muslims easily approach me and say "salaam." It's a powerful, underestimated initiator for sisterhood. In many instances, I am welcomed as a sister or as a daughter. I remember last year in Ramadan, a Muslim man with his family paid for all the ice cream my friends and I bought. He left before we even knew and we couldn't thank him. May Allah reward him for his kindness.
Yet, at the same time, the hijab can draw other evils. Just like a superhero, some bad guys run at first glimpse, but others want the fight. Mainly, I am talking about the people who are drawn to us by hate. I have never personally been caught in a situation too extreme, but we've all heard the stories. Some girls are ridiculed and harassed (Hint: Just like a superhero). In those moments, we need to be strong and have a good support system around us that encourages us to keep going.
It's true, donning this outfit can be hard, but there are much greater blessings and rewards. So, don't be afraid to be a superhero.

Here are some snapshots from the second day.
Our second day on the Arenui, the boutique liveaboard, started at 6:30 in the morning with a short breakfast, the briefing and finally at 8 o'clock our first dive in the area of Pantar Strait. The dive site for the first and second dive is called Tanjung Yan Village and is situated in front of Pura Island.
First we dived with the macro lens, like the day before, to get some good pictures of the small creatures down there. When I go through the photos of this dive I have to say that some of the creatures look like being around their own houses. As you can see in the first picture!
EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 105mm | ISO 100 | 1/160s | f/9,0 | Strobes
I'm not sure if the creature is called a Goby but he does look like he just woke up and is checking out the weather (water) conditions. It was 8:22am when I captured this and he was curios and looked at us for a short time before he went back in hiding.
Below are 2 more early morning snapshots of some interesting fishes. EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 105mm | ISO 100 | 1/160s | f/9,0 | Strobes EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 105mm | ISO 100 | 1/160s | f/9,0 | Strobes
And for some diversity, here's a soft coral. EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | ISO 100 | 1/160s | f/9,0 | Strobes
In the second dive, which was at the same dive site, I went diving with a wide angle lens for the very first time. And with wide-angle I mean a fast 16 to 35 mm zoom lens without the possibility to zoom because I didn't get the zoom ring in time. However, I had huge problems with the correct use of available light and the strobes. In fact the difference between macro and wide-angle is even bigger in underwater photography than I've expected. So it wasn't a very relaxed dive for me and in the end I had a bunch of useless photos. Well not totally useless, at least I learned something through my failed photos and got some good advises from underwater photographers with more experience. And here's the only photo which is good enough to show you. EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 16mm | ISO 200 | 1/100s | f/5,6 | one strobe from below
Afterward the boat started the engine and we travelled to our next dive site called Cave Point, same area but another Reef, around Reta Island. And this time I went for my fisheye lens, which allows you to get closer to the subject. Due to the bigger angle of view it was a new challenge again.
Although I had the fisheye only for approximately half a month I managed to get better results than with the normal wide-angle and I consider that diving with a fisheye is real fun.
EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 16mm Fisheye | ISO 200 | 1/250s | f/11,0 | Strobes EXIF: Sony SLT-A99V | 16mm Fisheye | ISO 200 | 1/250s | f/11,0 | Strobes
So that's all from the second day on which I've learned a lot about underwater photography. The strobes are one of the most important creative tools below sea level but you have to understand the link between the strobes, shutter speed, aperture and ISO.
In my next blog-post I will write something about the trip in generally which includes the Kelimutu Volcano, Alor and the Arenui itself.

Article Text
Aim To examine the contribution of programme year and demographic factors to medical students' perceptions of evidence-based classification categories of professional misconduct.
Methods Students at an Irish medical school were administered a cross-sectional survey comprising 31 vignettes of professional misconduct, which mapped onto a 12-category classification system. Students scored each item using a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 represents the least severe form of misconduct and 5 the most severe.
Results Of the 1012 eligible respondents, 561 students completed the survey, providing a response rate of 55%. Items pertaining to disclosure of conflict of interest were ranked as the least severe examples of professional misconduct, and this perception was highest among finalyear students. While ratings of severity declined for items related to 'inappropriate conduct not in relation to patient' and 'inappropriate use of social media' between years 1 and 3, ratings for both categories increased again among clinical cycle (fourth and final year) students.
Conclusions Increased clinical exposure during years 4 and 5 of the undergraduate programme was associated with better recognition of the importance of selected professional domains. Disclosure of conflict of interest is identified as an area of medical professionalism that requires greater emphasis for students who are at the point of transition from student to doctor.

consonni is a producer of contemporary art and a publishing organization, located in Bilbao. Since 1997, consonni has invited artists to develop projects that do not generally take on the appearance of an art object shown within a space. consonni researches formulas to expand curatorial practice, production and the notion of programming. It also analyses possibilities of publishing art books and is committed to charting different ways of engaging in critique today.
After consonni's 17 years out there, there are currently 5 fundamental production lines, which interweave and affect one another:
1/ Open invitations. Work with artists including Jon Mikel Euba, Ibon Aranberri, Andrea Fraser, Hinrich Sachs, Itziar Okariz, Iratxe Jaio&Klass van Gorkum, Martha Rosler... who borrow the tools they use from the contemporary, developing art projects with very different formats.
2/ Bird-cum-ornithologist. Investigation into the meanings of the production concept. Cross-practice exploration in the shape of residencies (Matadero, Hangar, IASPIS...), publications, interviews, productions...
3/ ENPAP (European Network of Public Art Producers). Along with other European organizations, consonni participates in this network that researches the possibilities of art creating a public sphere.
4/ Publications. The publishing side of consonni runs three collections: Projects, Paper and Beste, for publishing a diversity of formats and exploring publishing possibilities.
5/ Programming in consonni. HPC, with_texts and activities out. Experimental programmings in consonni's street level office.

It's impossible to tell who's the bad guy in the case of the corrections officer versus county government. She is a black woman who claims discrimination kept her out of a job as a sheriff's deputy; the county says she wasn't qualified.
There's something fishy on both sides, and it looks as if the courts will have to sort it out. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has suggested the county give Maxine Brown the position with back pay. The county refuses.
County attorneys are ready to go to court, and they are so confident one has to believe they're prepared to prove her lack of qualifications.

I began running a few years ago. It was the last thing I could have imagined myself doing 5 years prior as I was almost 300 pounds and could only walk one city block. At 100 pounds lighter I decided to give running a go. I down loaded the app "Couch to 5k". I followed the instructions to a tee and at the end of the program I signed up for a 5k race. I was not running to come in first place, I was running to finish.
The morning of the race it was pouring rain. Not just a sprinkle, but a huge downpour. I decided to run anyway. The race took us through downtown Seattle and back to Queen Anne. I ran the entire race without stopping. I was soaking wet, but somehow that did not matter. I had completed my first challenge to myself.
A year later I upped the ante. I signed up for a 10k. I used the couch to 10k app this time. I like these apps because they are a walk/run program which has you running the entire distance at the end. I trained hard for this race and although I think I finished last or close to it, I ran the entire race without stopping.
This year I am challenging myself to 13.1, a half marathon. I have begun training and will be signing up for a race soon. The race gives me a goal to work towards. When I run I have more energy and the endorphins keep me in a better mood. When training I can eat almost anything I want and not gain weight, although I attempt to eat healthy. I encourage everyone to try at least a 5k to challenge yourself and stay fit.

Some of you were asking for my "gluten free" waffle recipe; here it is:
This is a small recipe, for two people but you can just multiply it easily 2X, 3X…it's a very forgiving recipe too.
1 cup masa harina; this is not a fancy ingredient!!!!!!!!!!!! This is Mexican style corn-meal and is just ground very fine; it's used for making tortillas and tamales.
½ cup potato-buds; cheap instant mashed potatos
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1½ -2 + cups milk or water depending on how thick you want it
1 egg
Notes: mix well, let stand for about 5-mins. before using, as ingredients will absorb water and thicken considerably; it is at this point when you decide to add more water, but not before. This can be used for flap-jacks too. Before you buy your ingredients, check to make sure wheat or other gluten grains weren't used to make said product. I don't like most GF baking mixes as they contain soy, lintel or chick-peas and give things a "green" or "grassy" flavor, these are better suited to savory dishes. Add more oil for more golden color. You can also ad add ground flax seed or rice bran for a "healthier" meal.

December 2001
Youve no doubt noticed by now that we have refrained from commenting on the 9-11 terror attack. For one thing, we are a monthly publication and it would be hard given the fast pace of events to write anything that wouldnt be ancient history by the time the NOR hit your mailbox. For another thing, we couldnt come up with anything that hadnt already been said a hundred times.
But there was one aspect of the apocalypse that we have neither seen nor heard any comment about. So where angels fear to tread, we fools rush in. It doesnt pertain to the horrific loss of innocent life, about which weve all seen and heard so much; rather, its about economics. In the aftermath of 9-11, people refused to fly, hotels were almost empty, cruise ships stopped sailing, cabbies had no customers, restaurants and movie theaters were virtually vacant, and the stock market plummeted.
Then the word went out, from the President on down: You can stop mourning now. Return to normalcy. Go out and buy something its your patriotic duty!
Normally we dont need any coaxing from our statesmen and lesser dignitaries to buy things. Madison Avenue takes care of that task. But Madison Avenue lost its alchemy. Have we ever seen this before?
