text: To make the pasta - place the flour onto the worktop and create a well in the centre. Pour the eggs into the well. Knead for 5 minutes to form into a ball, then knead briskly for 1 minute Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. Remove from the fridge and cut the dough into 2 pieces. Flatten each piece of dough with a rolling pin to about 5mm thickness. Pass them through the pasta machine at its widest setting, refolding and rolling 7 times on same setting. Work the dough until it is silky. Start with the pasta machine at it's widest setting then repeat this process, decreasing the roller setting down grade by grade with each pass, until it is at the thinnest setting. for the filling, place half of the crayfish tails into a food processor, reserving the remainder. Blend to a paste, cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the fridge, place in a bowl, then slowly pour in the double cream and remaining crayfish filling ingredients, mix until smooth then chill in the fridge until needed. To make the ravioli, lay one sheet of pasta on the work surface and place dessert spoons of the crayfish filling along the length of it, leaving space around for cutting. Place 2 or 3 whole tails (depending on size) on top of the filling, then an equal amount off filling on top of the whole crayfish tails. Moisten the edges around the filling with water, and lay the second sheet of pasta over the top. Using a pasta stamp or pastry cutter cut through both pasta sheets around the piles of crayfish filling to form Ravioli. Ensure you leave enough pasta around the filling so you can seal easily, 10mm is about right. Press down the edges around the filling, ensuring trapped air is removed between the pasta, pinch the edges to seal. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook Ravioli for 3-5 minutes or until the ravioli is al dente. Remove and set aside. For the crayfish sauce, heat the butter and oil together in a large pan, and add the reserved smashed crayfish claws. Cook over a high heat for about 2 minutes, then add the vegetables and fry for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and fry for 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with brandy, flame and stir using a wooden spoon simmering for 3-4 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the fish stock, stir well until the liquid has reduced by half. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean pan, discarding the claws and vegetables. Bring the sauce to the boil and stir in the cream until well combined. Warm through for 1-2 minutes over a medium heat. To serve, pour a ladleful of the rich sauce into each of four serving bowls, and then top each bowl with ravioli. Sprinkle lightly with forked pure claw meat strands. If you are going to make multiple Ravioli on one sheet make sure you leave enough space around mounds for cutter size.

Surfside Hotel Resort - Waste Of Time

To do your laundry is a waste of time because the machine aren't even working properly. The owners are not very friendly neither respectful. They don't even watch you in your face unless you are white. The gates are locked every night after 6 and thinking that the security guard would at least have the courtesy to get up and open the gate, he sleeps in the booth or watches television. The maids are very nice and pleasant to talk with and even they and all think that the owners are a waste of time to ask for anything. The bedrooms are very huge but the rest of the apartment is small. There in not even enough cutlery nor glasses in the kitchen to provide for a family. They are suppose to change your towels everyday or every other day ...that's a waste of time... If you want to be treated like a HOG stay at this hotel otherwise if you want to get your moneys worth stay in a village...you have a better chance of enjoying yourself. p.s. this is very true because we recently stayed here this year...
Surf Side Hotel
D Rich
I realised that the creator of the website stated that there was only one negative review of the Surf Side Hotel. Well this one makes three since it is the opinion of my sister and I. We were absolutely horrified at the conditions at the hotel. There was dog faeces, yes you saw right, DOG FAECES outside our hotel door when we first arrived. It was just covered with sand and we didn't realise what was the source of the smell at first. When we did and we asked for it to be moved it took them about two days before it was done. Not to mention the noise that is experienced because of the Golden Star pub next door. On our first night of arrival I had absolutely no sleep because the noise was deafening. Even my windows were vibrating to the sound of the music. When I went to management to complain about it, I was answered (with a smirk on their face I might add) that this happened every Wednesday night and on weekends and they could not tell me when the music would stop. Our experience there was absolutely terrible. I guess there is a reason why there rates are so cheap. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

There are many backpacking stoves available for the consumer now. Lightweight alcohol stoves, canister stoves, and white gas stoves are the most popular now for general use. But what stove is "the best"? The true answer is: NONE OF THEM.
The article below will go into the pros and cons of the various stoves for "real world" (not marketing) use depending upon your needs.
Updated Jan 2016.
The "best stove" depends on what your use is for. Boiling a lot of water? Backpacking as a couple? Doing "real" cooking in the back country? Long time without resupply? Winter camping? These are all questions that need to be asked when considering a stove for backcountry use. Just as you would not use a screwdriver to put in a nail, certain types of stoves are suited for different type of tasks than another stove. Most experienced outdoor users have different stoves for different purposes. Like all gear, there is no best…just what is best for a particular person and their needs.
Here is my rough guide (and I do mean rough!) to the different stove uses.
First the baseline for my personal stove use. Most of my backpacking is for solo, three season use. When thru-hiking on the Western trails, tend to do about 25-30 MPD. Do some winter backpacking in Colorado. Resupplied every 5-7 days on average for the PCT, CDT and the Colorado Trail. Resupplied 3-5 days on the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail thru-hikes. My longest stretch without resupply was ten days in the High Sierra.
Also, I define a meal as enough for the standard two Knorr side dishes and enough water for a hot drink. For me, that equated one ounce of alcohol for most of my cooking. Never had to use more fuel than that, but I've used my stove enough where I make it work with a min. amount of fuel.
A quick note on Chemistry 101: In case your 10th-grade chemistry class was forgotten (and remembering the cute blonde who you had a crush on when you were sixteen does not count!), here is a quick reminder: Fuel volume and fuel weight are not a one for one ratio. One ounce of fuel by volume does not weigh one ounce. One ounce of alcohol (by volume) weighs approx. .8 oz. A 10 oz of a bottle of fuel weighs about 8oz (not counting the weight of the bottle). White Gas weighs slightly less per ounce; 10oz of fuel weighs about 7.5 oz. And so on…
On to the stove comparison!
Alcohol Stove: For solo, three season use, this stove works very well. A homemade alcohol stove is light (less than half an ounce), easy to use, inexpensive and runs on fuel that can be found in most towns.
As a base, here is my alcohol stove setup:
2 qt. Alum. Pot w/ tinfoil lid 4.500 oz
Soda Can Stove .250 oz
Windscreen / Pot stand 1.00 oz
Ziplock Bag .375 oz
12 oz. Mountain Dew Bottle (Fuel) .625 oz
Total: 6.75 oz
The primary disadvantage of an alcohol stove is that after about 10 meals (10 oz of fuel), you lose the major advantage of the weight savings. My alcohol stove setup weighs 14 oz with 10 days of fuel. If I were to go longer, an MSR PocketRocket (see below) would be more efficient for more extended use. For cold weather temps (below 15F, the raw edge of three-season hiking IMO), a white gas stove would be much more efficient. Alcohol and canister stoves (rated to 15F by manufacturers) perform poorly for winter use.
From Mechanical Engineering Magazine, August 2004 issue:
Once a trip extends beyond a certain duration, the advantage of the homebuilt's near weightlessness bogs down in alcohol's low heat content,compared to white gas or isopropane (11,500 vs. 20,000 Btu/lb.). Hikers relying on alcohol end up paying a fuel-weight penalty if they can't resupply every four to five days.
(The above figure is for two meals a day)
Altitude has NOT been a factor for me with alcohol stove use. Have used it as high as 13k feet in October when it has been snowing out. Feel that is a good representation of what I consider the "raw edge" three season hiking.
Another advantage of the alcohol stove is that as you use more fuel, your weight becomes less and less than that of a canister stove. An empty metal container weighs about three ounces by itself! If I go out for a weekend, two ounces of fuel weighs 1 oz a the most. So, my setup would be about 7oz for a weekend vs. 21oz for the popular canister stoves.
Alcohol Stove: The alcohol stove is suited best for three-season, solo use. The light weight, ease of use and easy resupply makes it a solo thru-hiker favorite. If you need to do "real" cooking, long-term resupply (more than 10 meals worth), or share a stove then you may better off with a canister stove. Two people can use alcohol stoves efficiently, but more planning/expertise/patience is needed than a casual backpacker may want to do. Though alcohol stoves are not hard to use, they are not as convenient as canister stoves. That may or not be a factor in your decision. If you do take an alcohol stove in colder weather, you may want to have the fuel in your sleeping bag at night.
Canister Stoves: A good alternative for those whose needs are more than typical, three season solo backpacking. A canister stove is easy to use, more fuel-efficient in the long-term than an alcohol stove, an is better for couples/partners/families. "Real cooking" is also done easier on a canister stove.
You do have to pack out the empties and resupply is not as convenient as alcohol or white gas stoves. You often have to mail yourself containers on longer treks. Ken and Marcia have a good article on mailing canisters. As with alcohol stoves, canister stoves are not meant for winter backpacking. The canisters are rated to 15F by the manufacturers. They perform slightly better in cooler temps than alcohol, but not by much. In other words, for real world, three-season backpacking, the temps are not a factor for white gas vs. alcohol vs. canisters.
Jetboil and MSR Reactor
A very popular canister stove system in the past few years is the Jetboil system. It is popular because it is a "system." Small pot, fuel-efficient stove, easy to use. Boils water very fast. It is expensive and heavy though! The integrated cup is meant just for boiling water and not cooking in, so it is of less use for partners and not as versatile as other canister stove types. (unless you are doing Mountain House type meals). Still, the convenience and quick boil times make it an attractive stove for some.
Here are figures from some Whiteblaze Jetboil. users. Thanks to Sdwoonek for compiling the data that I copied and pasted. Note these numbers are for the original Jetboil.

Skeemers data is obviously thrown off by the addition of the "small cloth", but since it was weighed and posted, I had to include it….

So that's about 21oz for the average Jetboil user. As the Jetboil people themselves advertise the stove for personal use (and the setup make it inconvenient for more than one person), it takes a longer resupply stretch to make the extra weight of the Jetboil more efficient than an alcohol stove over the long-term. This weight penalty is more pronounced on shorter resupply stretches typically seen by most backpackers. It is a system as well, so it is hard to use with other cooking stoves or pans. Again, not very friendly for multiple uses. Still, the convenience and ease of use does make the stove make it attractive for some users. It is over $85 though, and I think there are lighter and less expensive alternatives for canisters stove users if convenience and ease of use are not your primary purchasing points.
The newer Sol Titanium is approx 5 ounces less total than the original and is supposed to be more fuel-efficient. The lighter weight and efficiency comes at a hefty price of $150 however. It seems to be a direct competitor to the MSR Reactor.
MSR has come out with a similar stove to the original Jetboil called The Reactor. It is slightly less weight (18 oz), more expensive ($140), a bit faster, has a bigger capacity pot. If fast boil times and no futz factor is your goal, then this stove may be a good option.
Other Canister Stoves
The MSR Pocket Rocket and SnowPeak Giga Power stoves are roughly the same weight, price, and performance. Google them to find more thorough reviews.
Believe it or not, Coleman made a great little canister stove that put outs almost as much heat as the Jetboil (if not as efficient) and works well in the wind , weighs less than 3oz and it was only ~$35. Uses the same canisters as the Jetboil, SnoPeak, MSR, etc. Has received great reviews on such sites as Backpacking Lite. You can occasionally still find one online. Just never did well.
In short, these stoves weigh about 9.5 oz with a full fuel container and stove. Add in my 4.5 oz pot and a homemade wind screen. and it is about 15 oz. If I hiked with a partner (my main use for this type of stove), I'd take a bowl to eat out for myself or my partner. Call it one ounce for a Cool Whip bowl. So that is 16 oz total. for the setup I would use. These stoves are very fuel-efficient; getting about 20 or so meals with a full 8oz fuel container and using a low-medium simmer! Wow!
A "real world" caveat is that people tend to pack in extra canisters because they are afraid of running out fuel. A more experienced canister user tends to gauge fuel use more accurately. If you pack an extra canister in "just in case", you are adding three to eight oz of weight (depending on canister size), ruining the overall efficiency of the stove.
Lighter canisters are also sold with less fuel capacity as well. The 4 oz fuel canisters, from what I've seen, last about one dozen meals. The canister stoves work best for couples due to not being able to hold more than a 2 ltr pot without tipping over. For larger group use, a white gas stove with a more stable base would be best.
Canister stove summary:
Jet Boil: For ease of use and quick boil times, but for a high price and weight, the Jet Boilstove may be a good choice for some people. It is not a good choice for couples or group use if you use the PCS. Jet Boil has come out with stoves meant for couples or even group cooking, but they are even heavier and more expensive. If you do Freezer Bag Cooking or similar pouch meals (just heating water), then you can probably get away with two people sharing the stove and pot for the single person Jetboil.
MSR Pocket Rocket/Snow Peak/Others: For more than ten meals, couples use and longer resupply, the canister stoves would be a good solution. If I ever did a trip with longer resupplies (like the Yellowstone to Yukon corridor ), I might take a canister stove.
All the canister stoves do have the resupply disadvantage which could be mitigated with careful planning. As with alcohol stoves, upright canister stoves are not meant for winter backpacking. Their performance is somewhat better in colder temps than alcohol stoves.
Remote canister stoves that allow the canister to be inverted, such as the MSR Windpro or similar, do work well for winter use. The inverted and remote canister stoves are starting to replace white gas stoves as the GO TO stove for many winter backpackers. Note that though they work better in winter vs upright canister stoves, even the inverted stoves start to balk in weather below ~0F.
If you do take a canister in colder weather regardless of the canister stove type, you may want to have the canister in your sleeping bag at night.
More info on canister stoves
Note: Here's an article I wrote about to recycle your empty fuel canisters
White Gas Stoves: Heavy, complicated to use, noisy, expensive. For most three-season backpacking, there is no real reason to use this stove. A winter camping standard.
Though it is more fuel-efficient than the other stoves, the heavy weight outstrips the weight savings for overall fuel efficiency versus other stoves. If you are cooking for more than two people at one time, a white gas stove makes more sense because they have a more stable base (in general) and can boil lots of water quickly. Winter camping and high altitude mountaineering is where these stoves shine. It was the original use of these stoves after all! They work much better in cold weather than the other stoves and can melt snow quickly; an important chore in winter camping. The white gas stoves do have a bit of learning curve and can be finicky to use. Most of the white gas stoves also have two settings: "Blast furnace" and off! If you want to do "real cooking", be sure to get a stove with a simmer function.
White Gas Stove Summary: For true winter camping/high altitude mountaineering, esp below ~0F, and large group use, it is the stove of choice. Otherwise it is too heavy for three season backpacking use.
Popular White Gas stoves include: MSR Simmerlite, MSR Whisperlite, MSR XGK, Coleman Feather 442, Svea 123 and many, many others!
Zip Stoves:Zip Stoves are an interesting stove. They are a battery operated stove that burns wood, twigs, cones, etc. With a single AA battery, up to six hours of burn time can be achieved. A fan is powered by the battery to achieve an efficient burn.
- No need to carry fuel
- burns almost anything (pine cones, knots, etc.)
- Infinite cooking time (make elaborate meals)
- personal campfire" on cold, wet days
- generally reliable
- very high BTU output, once it's going (boils water quickly)
- tough going when it's been raining for days (solution: carry fire-starter materials)
- requires fire-starting skills
- requires constant attention while cooking (feeding more fuel into stove)
- time required to gather fuel, start the stove, and cool it after use
- your cookware will be covered with soot (and most likely so will you…)
- Needs AA battery
- Works best in a forest environment; Obvious limitations in desert or alpine environment.
- If there is a fire ban, the Zip stove may be banned for use
- Weighs 18 oz, including battery
Zip Stove Summary: The Zip stove offers the advantage of needing no fuel other than that which you collect at camp, off the forest floor.
It uses a small fan, powered by a single AA battery, to create a very hot and surprisingly clean-burning wood fire. Fuel is reduced to pure ash. One battery provides several hours of cooking time.
Its main disadvantage is that it's fussy and dirty. It takes time to collect fuel and start the stove, and once it's lit, you must feed more fuel into the stove every couple of minutes. This stove will help hone your fire-starting skills!
If you spend a lot of time in camp and like to do a lot of cooking, it's not a bad choice.
The "personal campfire" feature is not to be dismissed, and really needs to be experienced. No other stove offers this.
There is now a Titanium version of this stove that weighs 10 oz, but it is $129!
If you look at the Zen Stoves article, there are links to DIY type stoves as well that are a bit lighter and less expensive.
(Note, the data for the zip stove was provided by Terrapin. Thanks!)

Solid Fuel Stoves
Solid fuel stoves use tablets that are lit to boil water. They are lighter than even alcohol stoves (because of the fuel themselves), are more fuel efficient and make the overall lightest setup for all lengths of hauls. The disadvantage depends upon which solid fuel you use Esbit (hexamine) or Trioxane tabs.
Esbit (Hexamine):
First, let's discuss Esbit. Though you can buy a special stove for them, there is no reason. A home-made alcohol stove turned over works well. Some people even use tent stakes as a pot support with the tab in the middle. Though this method can work, in inclement weather you are S.O.L. Probably worth it just to bring a cut off soda can bottom as your "stove" and a light weight pot support.
The major advantages of the Esbit tabs are similar to alcohol stoves; even more so. Lighter than alcohol and more fuel-efficient. If an alcohol stove is less efficient after about 10 + meals, doing some rough math the Esbit stove is not as efficient as the canister stove at about the 21 meal mark. That's a long time between resupplies! If you are out for a long or short-haul and want something light, Esbit is a great option!
The major disadvantages? Price and resupply!
An esbit tab is about .50 each. Even with bulk discounts, it is still much more expensive than other fuels. If you do a retail resupply of .50 per tab, that's $5 for 10 meals. Multiply that figure by a thru-hike! Even a discount rate of "only" .25 each makes Esbit expensive compared to the other fuels.
Resupply on a long haul can be problematic as not many places stock Esbit. As with canisters, careful planning can mitigate this problem. Similar regulations for mailing canisters applies to Esbit. Since Esbit can eat through plastic, a foil lined ziplock is suggested to carry the fuel. The ziplock also helps prevent the smell from permeating through your pack. The smell has been described as "rotting fish". Mmm…rotting fish.
Esbit has been reported to be hard to light. In my limited use, found the Esbit hard to light as well.
As with alcohol and canisters stoves, Esbit does not work well for true winter camping. Esbit is also for "boil only" meals as well and is a bit slower than the other stoves. This stove is best for solo use.
As with Esbit, does not need a special stove. Trioxane can usually be found at Army surplus stores (online and local). The fumes are toxic, but not usually a problem unless you use in a poorly ventilated space (you should not use ANY stove in a poorly ventilated space!). About the same weight as Esbit for a quarter the full retail price. Because it is surplus, quality can differ. Trioxane burns hot, but not very efficiently. Not really suggested for general use. May not be bad as a backup to another stove.
Solid Fuel Summary: For the lightest system, you can't beat Esbit. With careful planning, can avoid the resupply issue. The major disadvantage of Esbit is the price per tab. Trioxane? Last resort only!
Trioxane (really, I would not use it personally!)
(I've only used the stoves a handful of times. Thanks to Sgt. Rock and Ken aka "Big Cranky" for first hand research!)
Going stoveless
Going stoveless works well for certain scenarios. There is no futz factor, resupply is a breeze and the weight is zero!
I don't know how much weight is saved overall (Some backpacking staples such as Lipton's must be cooked, but others such as cous cous do rehydrate fine), but not having to worry about cooking and needing water (for most meals) does make life simpler. Naturally, fuel resupply is not an issue. Going stoveless works best for warmer hiking and/or people who like to go very minimally.
Camp Fires: And let's not forget the first "stove" humans' used: A campfire!
Steep learning curve, can be hard to light in wet weather or snow, can't always be used when there are fire bans as well as in alpine or desert environments. For the absolute lightest way to go, a camp fire is still the best..with major disadvantages. But how many people tell ghost stories around an alcohol stove? In all seriousness, a camp fire is best when you can use one, don't mind waiting a bit and want ambiance. I find it best, personally, to just cook dinner on a regular stove and build a small campfire later. No stove will replace a camp fire for a great atmosphere!
About "Daily Average Haul"
"Daily Average Haul" is a concept Two Speed (a White Blaze user and a civil engineer) and myself came up with via e-mail exchanges. Sgt. Rock, one of the main admins at Whiteblaze, has also done much research on this concept. I shamelessly used some of his data for this section. 🙂
What this concept essentially means is that a stove system (stove, fuel and cooking system) has an initial starting weight, but also a weight that decreases over time due to fuel use. The weight of a stove system has a differing average depending over the time a stove system is being used. Hence the term "Daily Average Haul".
For example, the initial weight of an alcohol stove is very light. But, if many meals are cooked without a fuel resupply (over ten), the weight savings of a an alcohol stove is mitigated. More fuel means the "daily average haul" weight increases.
Conversely, a canister stove system's weight does not differ much over time. A 4 oz canister is good for about 12 meals or so. After the fuel is used, you are still left with a canister that weighs 3oz and can no longer be used. On a weekend outing, 4 oz of alcohol weighs about 2.5 oz. The empty 12 oz Sprite bottle weighs .625 oz. Taking the first example, the "daily average haul" for the alcohol stove is noticeably less than a canister stove (never mind a Zip or White Gas stove) for a shorter period of time.
If you are a canister stove user who packs another canister "just in case", the weight penalty for "daily average haul" is even more pronounced.
If you are out for a REALLY long time without a fuel resupply, some stoves (e.g. an MSR Simmerlite or a Zip Stove in the appropriate environment) will have a daily average haul" weight that is lighter than other stoves.
When thinking about which stove is lighter, "daily average haul" is a useful concept to keep in mind. Depending upon your time out without a fuel resupply, one stove system may be more efficient than another.
Naturally, there are other reasons to use one stove system over another besides weight (convenience, time of year, availability of fuel, etc). but "daily haul average" is still a useful concept to keep in mind when determining what type of stove system best suits your needs.
International Travel
International travel has its own set of variables. With the Post 9/11 airport security, getting a stove and fuel canister on a plane can be…interesting. Availability of fuel such as canisters is hard outside of a few well stocked areas. And while alcohol may be available in certain areas, it is not always easy to get (a well stocked pharmacy may have it for example).
In general….
- Multifuel stoves (white gas, autofuel, kerosene, etc.) will be the easiest to find fuel for BUT may be hard to get on a plane
- Alcohol stoves are easy to get on a plane, but are somewhat hard to get fuel for. I do have a friend who bike toured in France and found denatured alcohol fairly easily. On the other hand, friends who hiked Canada's Great Divide Trail had trouble finding denatured alcohol in some of the smaller towns along the way
- Canister stoves are hard to get on a plane and are usually hard to find resupplies for except in areas blessed with a good outfitter
Whichever stove you go with, this link may help you find the fuel in the area by name: http://fuel.papo-art.com/
Burn Ban Considerations
Burn Ban Considerations
In recent years, there have been bans on open fires in the backcountry during times of extreme fire dangers (From Oct 2015: Non-Approved fires: Campfires utilizing solid fuel that do not distribute the flame with a wick., Alcohol ultralight stoves, Wood "twig ultralight stoves ) With more wildfires happening esp here out West, the rules are getting stricter on what types of stoves to use. In many parts of Colorado in the summer of 2012, open flames were banned. This meant no campfires, wood burning stoves, solid fuel stoves and alcohol stoves. (It did not help that a fire was caused by a negligent alcohol stove user). These stoves also do not generally have Underwriters Lab designation and/or have no shut-off valve. These reasons are partially the cause for the restrictions, too.
To quote the linked document's text:
"Mechanical stoves and appliances fueled by bottled or liquid gas which allow the operator to control and extinguish the flame with a valve are permitted provided that such devices are approved by Underwriters Laboratory Inc"
Also note that many places ban backcountry campfires outright and/or have restrictions (again, esp with extreme fire danger). Wood burning stoves may fall under this ban depending on what the local National Park unit or USFS/BLM or State Park office decides.
To quote the letter above:
"The only difference in legalities between a liquid/gas fuel stove or the wood burning stove is that during certain fire restrictions, the wood burning stove would not be allowed when regular campfires aren't allowed. Just check the conditions/restrictions with the FS you before you go on your trip to make sure you have a stove you can use. This question comes up often during fire restrictions, and again, the wood burning stove is considered the same as a campfire during these dry times."
(emphasis mine)
For all intents and purposes, the options for backpacking stove use during bans are white gas stoves and canister stoves. Or you can go stoveless.
Overall Summary
There are many stoves to choose from. Which one is the best depends upon your intended use. Note these recommendations are given assuming there is no open flame ban or similar.
- If you are resupplying for less than ten meals, solo and three-season backpacking: Alcohol Stove
- If you are a couple and/or going a longer time between resupplies, want something quick and convenient or need to do real cooking:
Canister Stove other than Jet Boil
- If you are solo and want a convenient all in one solution and/or very fast boil times and/or if a couple doing boil and cook pouch-type meals: Jetboil or MSR Reactor
- If you are winter camping/high altitude mountaineering and/or below 0F and/or doing 3+ person meals: White Gas Stove
- If you are winter camping/high altitude mountaineering and want absolute convenience, above ~0F, but not in a 3+ person group: Inverted and remote canister stove
- Doing lots of "real cooking" in a forest environment and not hiking far: Zip Stove
- Want the absolute lightest stove and price/resupply (and don't mind slower boil times) is not an issue: Esbit
- Prefer to go the ultra-minimalist route and want very little to no futzing: No stove.
There are other stoves as well that can be best called "specialty" stoves. These stoves are less used, but can prove a viable option for some people. Zen Stoves has a great summary of these different types of stoves.
Remember…it is just a stove at the end of the day. Gear is the least important part of backpacking. No matter stove you use, the mountain ranges are awesome, the sunsets are grand and those wildflower blooms will be gorgeous. Take what works and enjoy!

Vegetarian tacos topped with pickled red cabbage, sweet potato and feta cheese was photographed on a vintage wooden tray lined with parchment paper. The tacos were photographed with a macro lens to obtain a close up image of the ingredients. The taco shells were coated with olive oil and roasted on an open grill until crisp but still malleable. The taco shells were filled with the ingredients and photographed in natural light.

1 How can I look on Calvary's cross
And see my Saviour there,
With outstretch'd arms the world to save
My sins Himself to bear?
How contemplate and yet withstand
Such love as He has shown,
Who died to draw the sinner near
And claim him for His own?
O love of God, that bro't me there,
O love so deep, so true,
Come fill my longing heart with light
And rapture, thro' and thro'.
2 How can I think of all He bore--
The shame, the thorns, the pain,
And unrepentant go my way
To pierce His heart again?
Forsaken in His darkest hour
By all, except His God,
Shall I deny my blessed Lord,
Who died to lift the rod? [Chorus]
3 No, no! I cannot traitor be,
To Jesus, King of Love,
Tho' sinner steep'd in guilt I am,
His mercy I will prove;
His blood on Calvary's cross was shed,
To save e'en such as me;
O Jesus, now accept my all,
And draw me close to Thee. [Chorus]

13 Questions With Emily Haines
Page 1 of 2
Quick BioBorn in New Delhi, India, and raised in Canada, the 34-year-old singer/keyboardist/songwriter took to music early on. Haines' late father, Canadian writer and poet Paul Haines, helped foster Haines' love of music and encouraged her spirit of experimentation. She formed songwriting partnerships with members of groundbreaking independent acts including Stars and Broken Social Scene before founding Metric in 1998. Since then, Emily Haines has toured relentlessly with Metric as well as with her solo project, Emily Haines and The Soft Skeleton. Haines still finds inspiration from staying mobile, most recently during an extended trip to Argentina. Still traveling now, she spoke with AskMen.com from New York City.
What are you doing in NYC?
Emily Haines: I'm doing press and there's some opportunity to do some guest vocals. I've got myself hooked up with a piano so I can do some writing. Kind of just keeping the pace.
I know the new Metric record is coming out, but are you continuing to multitask and work on solo material?
EH: I'm not working on a solo record, per se, but I'm constantly writing -- things sort of overlap. At this point in my life it's not a baby and a frying pan, it's a solo album and a Metric record.
What are you most proud of in your career?
EH: The kind of audience Metric has attracted. It's this great mix of guys and girls, all different ages -- young, beautiful women who can find something in me they can connect with that gives them an option from, you know, Britney. You know, much respect, but that's something I'm proud of.
What about in your personal life?
EH: That I've been able to keep my close friends. Everything I've done has been with the support of a community of people. I never, ever, want to forget that.
Quick FactOne of Haines' biggest influences is Robert Wyatt, formerly of Soft Machine. Wyatt, who's recently released a solo record, is also a family friend who had an early and concrete impact on her songwriting. "I would send him all my music and he would respond... he mentored me through the mail, very generously, with letters and postcards."
Few people get to see as much of the world as you have. What value do you take from all the travel?
EH: It teaches you to not get too attached to one identity that's based on one culture. It forces me to see the similarities between people. Within the band it's a constant process of coaching each other to remember, no matter how exhausted we are, that we're in Istanbul, or taking the ferry to a Greek Island. Touring as we have, in way less-than-glamorous circumstances, you still have to appreciate the opportunity to see the world, and not become spoiled and miss it.
You say in the video doc at ILoveMetric.com that, before you visited Argentina, you gave up on songwriting for a time. Why?
EH: I was so exhausted from touring. I found myself up against the wall of not having had any experiences worth reporting. If I had started the new record from that place it wouldn't be called Fantasies, it'd be called I've Been On The Road For Five Years -- not a record anybody needed to hear. So I went to Argentina to trick myself into thinking that I wasn't writing, so I would.
What's the most important creative relationship you have?
EH: My relationship with Jimmy Shaw. I can't imagine my musical life without him. We just love making records together.
Highest high in your career to date?
EH: I think most people would expect I would say two nights at Madison Square Garden with The Rolling Stones, which was pretty cool, but it's better as an anecdote than an experience. I think the one that stayed with me most is when we played with Sonic Youth in France and I met Kim Gordon for the first time. She's a hero of mine and lived up 100% to who I thought she would be in person -- encouraging and having kind words to say to me as a fellow female musician. That definitely stuck with me -- someone I respect so much, giving that respect back to me.

We're starting a new feature here in the Archives that we hope you really like.
Columbia tried to compete with Disney, WB, & MGM for the toon crowd in the 30's & 40's, under the direction of Charles Mintz. Subsequent releases would bear the familiar Screen Gems name in the indicia, so that tells us that brand came full circle when it was revived as a 3rd movie brand in the 90's.
Up today is "Bon Bon Parade", a Color Rhapsody that spins the tale of a street urchin who is magically transported to Candy Land. There are a trio of characters made to look like the Three Stooges, but don't have the voices. As such, "Bon Bon" was included on a Stooges DVD compilation from Sony.
Let me know what you think of this cartoon.

Biological control - utilizing a population of natural enemies to seasonally or permanently suppress pests - is not a new concept. The cottony cushion scale, which nearly destroyed the citrus industry of California, was controlled by an introduced predatory insect in the 1880s. Accelerated invasions by insects and spread of weedy non-native plants in the last century have increased the need for the use of biological control. Use of carefully chosen natural enemies has become a major tool for the protection of natural ecosystems, biodiversity and agricultural and urban environments.
This book offers a multifaceted yet integrated discussion on two major applications of biological control: permanent control of invasive insects and plants at the landscape level and temporary suppression of both native and exotic pests in farms, tree plantations, and greenhouses. Written by leading international experts in the field, the text discusses control of invasive species and the role of natural enemies in pest management.
This book is essential reading for courses on Invasive Species, Pest Management, and Crop Protection. It is an invaluable reference book for biocontrol professionals, restorationists, agriculturalists, and wildlife biologists.
This text will be valued by students, biocontrol professionals, farmers, and ecologists concerned with invasive species and pest management. (Southeastern Naturalist, July 2008) "Valuable for upper-level curricula and as a reference course ... Highly recommended." (CHOICE, January 2009)

I hope Bryan Whitby @ USB Chessboards understands imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Excellent wiring job Matt, very professional.
Be careful your wires do not touch where they cross each other and cause a short. I always stick a small piece of electrical tape between them just incase.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you fix the Teensy to the board.

WOODBRIDGE — A township man has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl and posting photos of her on the internet, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan and Robert Hubner, director of the Woodbridge Police Department, announced today.
Keith Bell, 21, was arrested on Feb. 28, 2013 and charged with aggravated sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of endangering the welfare of the child, one count of causing a prohibited sexual act, and child pornography.
In addition, he was charged with theft by extortion after allegedly telling his victim he would not post explicit photos of her on the internet if she gave him an undisclosed amount of cash.
Bell is being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick, waiting for bail to be set.
An investigation by Detective Brian McMillen and Capt. Robert Brady, both of the Woodbridge Police Department, and Investigator Karleen Duca of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office began when another 12-year-old girl saw the photos of the victim and contacted authorities.
The investigation showed that the defendant sent the explicit pictures of the 12-year-old girl to the 12-year-old girl who called authorities.
Police allege that on various occasions between Jan. 23 and Feb. 26, Bell sexually assaulted the victim and convinced her to take sexually explicit photos of herself and send them to him.
The investigation is active and continuing. Authorities are asking anyone with information to call Detective McMillen of the Woodbridge Police Department at 1-732-602-7308, or Investigator Duca of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office at 1-732-745-4452.
As is the case with all criminal defendants, Bell is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

text: Hello I just want to start to build my own membership website using wordpress. I would like to make a website consists of, let say, two types of members (e.g. investors and entrepreneur). On the registration form, each new member has to choose whether he/she will be registered as an investor or as an entrepreneur. And then after they logged in, I want them to be redirected to their own page (e.g. the investors will be redirected to investor's page where they can see entrepreneurs' profiles, and the entrepreneurs will be redirected to entrepreneur's page).. Do know how to do this? Or is there any plugin that can do this kind of redirection? Thank you so much, I really appreciate all your replies!

|This is my new medical accessory for the next 12 weeks.
So the surgeon said I may never get the feeling back in the back of my arm or under it. As he said, "The body's just not meant to be cut." He obviously was very careful not to disturb the big bundle of nerves that control my arm and hand, but there are small nerves all over that can't be avoided when removing the lymph nodes, and those apparently hit the back- and underside of my arm. So we'll see what happens. It could, it could not. And as anyone who has any sort of numbness or neuropathy anywhere knows, numb isn't really numb, it's a combination of numbness and hypersensitivity. Which blows. And of course it may take quite a bit for this whole left side pain, stiffness, restricted movement to heal. But what I have come to appreciate after dealing with this pain, and it is painful, is that I have been so lucky to have 37 pain-free years so far. Some people never know a life that doesn't have physical pain in it, and after dealing with this so far, that just breaks my heart. Because, from my mouth to God's ears, my left side will eventually heal, the PICC line will come out, I won't be on chemo or radiation anymore, and will heal for the most part. And I will remember what it's like to have pain everyday but not have to experience it anymore, and I will be grateful and empathetic.

FRANKFORT — Come July 1, many county public health departments across Kentucky will be open fewer hours, and some will have smaller staffs.
"I doubt that there are many health departments out there that will not have to furlough or reorganize their staff in some way or raise taxes," said Linda Sims, president of the Kentucky Health Department Association. Sims, executive director of the Lincoln Trail District Health Department, which covers Hardin and six other counties, said the upcoming fiscal year will be one of the toughest in recent years for local health departments.
In Franklin County, the health department's 74 full- and part-time staff will be asked to take 12 furlough days in the coming year. Some staff will be moving from full-time to part-time, said Paula Alexander, executive director of the Franklin County Health Department.
In nearby Anderson County, staff will be cutting back three hours a week — going from a 37.5-hour work-week to 34.5 hours a week. "It's about 211/2 furlough days. We are going to work 12 months and get paid for 11," said Tim Wright, interim executive director of the department.
In Fayette County, health officials announced last week they expect 25 people to be laid off.
As state and local funding has dropped in recent months, the state's 59 county and district health departments are struggling to deliver mandated services on a shoestring while continuing to improve and monitor public health. County health departments track sexually transmitted diseases, monitor infectious diseases such as whooping cough, do cervical and breast cancer screenings, and investigate dog bites. Their employees inspect restaurants, pools, hospitals and hotels to ensure cleanliness.
Each of Kentucky's local health departments is an independent quasi-governmental agency and receives a portion of its budget from local taxes. The minimum tax for county health departments is 1.8 percent. Some counties' public health tax is as a high as 4 percent. With the recession, many local health departments saw local tax revenue flatten or decrease.
The departments also receive state and federal money and may charge for clinical services such as family planning.
Jill Midkiff, a spokeswoman for the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services, which oversees public health, said the total amount of funding to local public health departments did not decrease with the exception of some one-time money.
But departments are feeling the effect of a change in how state funds were allocated. Part of the new formula took into account the population served and percentage of population below the poverty level. Counties such as Anderson and Franklin were hurt the most by the formula because they serve more "working poor" — or people who have jobs but not insurance. Counties with extreme poverty serve more people who qualify for government programs such as Medicaid or Medicare.
The state also moved Medicaid to managed care, which has lowered reimbursement rates. At the same time, retirement and insurance costs continue to climb for county health departments.
Shawn Crabtree, executive director of the Lake Cumberland District Health Department, which covers 10 southeastern Kentucky counties, said his department will not have furloughs this year.
In fact, state funding for his district actually increased, partly because the district serves one of the highest-poverty areas in the state.
But Crabtree also said that his department has downsized during the past three years.
In total, he said, the district has taken about a $4 million hit during the past few years as other costs such as retirement and insurance have increased and state funding has gone down. In the past 21/2 years, the district has gone from about 330 employees to 250, he said.
"We've had to scale back in nearly every division," Crabtree said.
"There are certain things like diabetes education classes, they just aren't as available as they once were," he said. "There are less staff to run our clinics. There are times when we have to postpone appointments if we don't have enough staff."
Wright said Anderson County has managed to stave off staff reductions during the past three years by using reserves to plug holes. But those reserves are gone. Additionally, the Anderson County Health Department has a new building and a mortgage to pay. In addition to furloughs, the department has renegotiated contracts and consolidated positions. Wright serves as interim executive director and director of the environmental regulation division, which oversees all inspections.
In Christian County, the health department lost 10 positions in recent years. It is trying to determine how it will absorb a 2 percent cut in funding for the upcoming fiscal year.
"It is not as much about how much was cut but how funding doesn't cover the core public health services designed to provide health outcomes," said Mark Pyle, director of the Christian County Health Department. "Christian County has a high underinsured/uninsured population, low primary care physician to patient ratio and high instance of chronic disease, yet our funding streams don't provide for the level of chronic disease services we need in our community."
Health departments receive a lot of federal money through the state for federal programs such as Women, Infants and Children. "These are great programs, but we need funding for all programs to move the health needle, not just the programs the state can get federal funding for," Pyle said.
Christian County has the minimum health tax of 1.8 percent, he said. The county Board of Health, which oversees the department, might consider an increase to 2.8 percent.
"Bottom line is, we are facing a $730,000 shortfall in funding and we are going to have to make some tough decisions," Pyle said.

The mayors of Sofia Boyko Borisov and of Yerevan Yervand Zakharyan inaugurated Wednesday (10 September 2008) the monument "Khachkar" in the "Yerevan" park located behind the building of the Agriculture Ministry in Sofia.
The monument is a donation by the Armenian capital and has been made in the traditional Armenian artistic style of carving crosses on stone.
In his speech at the official inauguration ceremony, the Armenian Ambassador in Bulgaria Sergey Manassaryan, pointed out that Armenians have always seen Bulgarians as people that have extended a helping hand during Armenia's most difficult times.
Manassaryan further said that the roots of the friendship between the two countries date from the National Liberation Movement in Bulgaria.
"Last year we renamed the street in Yerevan, leading to the Bulgarian Embassy to "Sofia," an act that was met very well by the residents of Yerevan. Now this monument becomes yet another symbol of the friendship between our people," the Ambassador stated.
The monument was sanctified by priests from the Armenian Church in Sofia.
The mayors signed a memorandum of collaboration and exchanged plaques with the coats of arms of both cities.
Borisov also received an invitation to visit Yerevan during the city's anniversary celebrations on 10 and 11 October 2008. This year Yerevan marks 2790 years of its establishment.

When it comes to handicapping whether Hollywood will have a strike, you can't tell the players without a scorecard. In fact, you can't even tell what's going on with a scorecard.
A few of the facts are indisputable. The WGA contract expires Oct. 31. The DGA and SAG pacts expire June 30. Key points of contention include the producers' proposal for a rollback in residuals, as well as money from the dizzying array of new media platforms.
Beyond that, it gets murky.
For one thing, it's not clear either side has a united front.
- SAG and negotiating partner AFTRA are locked in internal fights over the 50-50 allocation of seats at the bargaining table (SAG performs 90% of the work under the film-TV contract) and a recent move instituting bloc voting by SAG reps.
- Peter Chernin and Barry Meyer have led the charge for the producers, demanding a rollback in residuals, which wouldn't kick in until studios recoup on a project. But it's not clear whether any of the studio heads — who also include Jeffrey Katzenberg, Ron Meyer, Leslie Moonves and Harry Sloan — will support this hardline plan if an imminent crisis loomed. If push comes to shove, will the producers present a united front?
- Some in town are nervous that some key guild negotiators have never before negotiated a showbiz contract.
And, though it seems a little confusing, the writers' contract is the first to expire but it's likely that the directors will be in the driver's seat.
When the Oct. 31 WGA deadline passes, the most likely scenario is that the writers will keep working. And the focus will shift to the other two guilds.
The DGA — which has no significant internal dissent — tends to make deals earlier than SAG or the WGA.
DGA leadership believes the best deal is the early deal, since it has a premium attached in exchange for labor peace. Studios like dealing with the DGA, since that guild is traditionally the most united and easy to work with.
Historically, the DGA avoids inflaming its members and shows up at the table focused on key proposals rather than peripheral issues.
However, the resid-rollback issue was presented to the Writers Guild — which reacted with vocal anger — but has not yet been advanced to the DGA. The questions are: Will this proposal be offered to the DGA and, if so, how would it react?
If the DGA does make a deal, there's no guarantee that strikes by writers and actors would be averted, but it may lower its probability. Such a pact could set the template for terms that are likely to be included in the subsequent WGA and SAG deals.
If that happens and the WGA and SAG follow, it would repeat how negotiations played out three years ago. It's not such a long shot, either. The same players remain in place at the DGA — Michael Apted, recently named to his third term as president; Gil Cates, who's set to head the negotiations committee for the third consecutive time; and Jay Roth, who has been the DGA's exec director since 1995.

After a year of embracing austerity economics—emphasizing cutting spending and government over creating new jobs—Barack Obama belatedly tried to change the conversation with his big jobs speech Thursday night.
The introduction of the "American Jobs Act" was both a policy and rhetorical shift from the administration, away from the above the fray "most reasonable man in the room" strategy aimed at a narrow sliver of independent voters and toward a more aggressive, feistier Obama, one who is not afraid to run against the do-nothing Congress, take his case directly to the American people and ruffle a few feathers. It's the Obama, quite frankly, that many of his supporters have been waiting quite some time to see.
That's not to say everything about the speech or his plan was perfect.
Is the $450 billion legislation—an extension of unemployment benefits, an extension of the payroll tax cut, repairing schools and crumbling infrastructure, rehiring teachers and first responders, job training for the long-term unemployed, a tax cut for companies that hire new workers—big enough to spur a true economic recovery? Probably not. Half of it is tax cuts. Ezra Klein tweeted that "White house believes this plan would add one to two percentage points to GDP growth next year." But Harvard economist Jeffrey Liebman, a former Obama adviser, says "we need real GDP to grow at 4.5 percent a year for two years to bring the unemployment rate below 7 percent." So even if Obama's entire plan passed as is, there would still be more to do.
Will Obama's to-be-determined deficit speech undermine the momentum from his jobs speech? Perhaps. The president left open the possibility for significant changes to Medicare and Medicaid, which won't be popular with many Americans. The super-committee still has the power in Washington. Once its deadline nears, the conversation may once again revolve around deficits instead of jobs, especially since there's no built-in incentive forcing the committee to focus on jobs, as compared to the triggered spending cuts.
But for now, Obama's speech was an important first step in changing the conversation and defining the debate on his own terms. I particularly liked the section where he invoked Abraham Lincoln to argue for the essential role of government in America. Think of it as the president's long-awaited reply to the Tea Party. Said Obama:

Re: Charles Monroe Ward (1866-1927)
In reply to:
Charles Monroe Ward (1866-1927)
The following information if from "History of Coles County 1876-1976", page 908.
One branch of the Ward family in Coles County had its beginnings when Adney Ward and wife, Arma Davis Ward, left College Corners, Ohio, about 1880.With possessions and earliest children packed into a horse-pulled covered wagon, they journeyed to Arkansas.Disappointed by what they found there and hearing need for coal miners in Morgan County, Ill., they traveled on northward to Jacksonville.They moved to Mattoon about 1882 to work in a coal mine.
The eldest child and only son, Charles Monroe Ward, married Sarah Hughart of Mattoon.He worked in the mine until it closed down, became a railroader and evenutally started C.M. Ward Transfer and Storage business.Charles and Sarah had eight children.They were Ada Chaney, Charles, William, Zarley, Leroy, Erma Hacker, Elcia Moyer and Earl.
A legend has been handed down in the Ward family of descendency from General Artemas Ward, second in command of our armed forces during the Revolutionary War.Some facts indicate this to be true but, so far as known at this time, no lineage has been traced all the way back.
On the Hughart side, the facts are more clear. Elizabeth Sidenstricker Hughart, mother of Sarah Ward, is buried in Mound Cemetery in Charleston and was a sister to the father of Pearl Sidenstricker Buck.Pearl S. Buck was a world famous novelist, the only American woman to ever receive the Nobel Prize for Literature and founder of the Pearl S. Buck Foundation."
Edward, the copywrite for the book in 1976.
There is information about each of Charles Monroe and Sarah Hughart Ward's children in this Ward family history which was submitted by Earl Ward.Let me know if you would like that information.Hope this helps.

So the first and probably my favourite product I have is the Makeup Revolution ultra eyeshadow palette in flawless. This palette comes with 32 shades, some of which are matte and some shimmery and they range from light shades which could be used for brow bone highlight to dark shades which would be great for s smoky eye. All the shades are really pigmented and buttery, and they blend well on the eyelid. For only £8, getting 32 amazing eyeshadows means this is honestly the best purchase I've made in a really long time. Another plus side to this product is the huge mirror that comes with it, I mean who doesn't love a big mirror?
(Top swatch is mystify, bottom is total diva)
The next two things I got were the Makeup revolution lipsticks in Mystify and Total Diva. Mystify is the one in the black packaging and its a peachy pink toned lipstick. The lasting power and application of this lipstick are both amazing, but it does have tiny bits of shimmer in it which I'm not too keen on. But if a slight shimmer doesn't bother you then for only £1 this lipstick is a great buy. The other lipstick I got in the shiny pink packaging, which I think is ace by the way is in the shade Total Diva. This is a gorgeous red which isn't matte or glossy either, its somewhere in the middle but it definitely feels great on the lips. Like the other lipstick this one applies great and lasts for a good few hours when not eating or drinking.
This next product is the Makeup Revolution ultra sculpt and contour kit in ultra fair co1. This kit is absolutely gorgeous and comes with a bronzer, highlight and blusher all for £3.50!!! The blush in this trio is a pink with peachy under tones and in some lights I think it looks like it has a gold sheen to it as well which reminds me of the Sleek Rose Gold blusher.The highlight is a champagney gold shimmer which looks lovely on top of the blush and bronzer, but I did find it wasn't as pigmented as the blush and bronzer. My favourite thing out of the kit though has to be the bronzer. Its really pigmented and blendable and I find it looks great on my cheeks because it isn't orangey like so many bronzers I have tried. I'm just going to put it out there and say I actually prefer this contour kit over the sleek contour kit, and for half the price and a blusher thrown in I think its a great alternative.
So overall all the products I tried were a hit except for the concealer. I'd love to hear if you've tried anything from Makeup Revolution and what your favourite products are. Until next time..

Qualities of a Leader
How often have you heard the comment, He or she is a born leader? There are certain characteristics found in some people that seem to naturally put them in a position where theyre looked up to as a leader.Read More
Alan L. Olsen, CPA, MBA (tax)
Managing Partner
Greenstein, Rogoff, Olsen & Co. LLP
Starting a business takes a substantial amount of money and effort. There is a correct process to go through if you want to lend money to a corporation. First, you must properly document the transaction. If you give money to your business to purchase inventory and the company defaults on the loan, you may qualify to write off the loan as a business bad debt versus an investment loss. A business bad debt can be offset against other ordinary income such as W-2 income, interest and dividend income. This type of debt can also result in creating a net operating loss on your individual return when you don't have enough income to offset the business loss.
A non-business bad debt is treated as a capital loss. A capital loss will only offset capital gains. If you realize net capital loss, you can then use the loss to offset up to $3,000 in ordinary income.
When you lend money to your corporation, the interest that you will be paid back with will be deductible to the business, but taxable to you.
If you are considering lending money to your corporation, there are four requirements that you must meet to qualify your debt for a loan instead of equity:
If a bank or individual will not make a loan directly your corporation, you can use a "back-to-back" loan. Back-to-back loans are an option for lenders of corporations if the lender wants personal guarantees in loaning money. In a back-to-back loan, the lender will make a loan to the shareholders who will then make a loan to the corporation. When a back-to-back loan is used, tax results are far better than if a corporate loan is made.

"Fitness is an obvious area where wearables will succeed first," Mr. Bell said, speaking Wednesday during the continuing Web Summit in Dublin. But a lot of the so-called fitness trackers on the market are "glorified pedometers," he said: You could strap them on a paint can and they'd be fooled.
And design remains a glaring constraint, Mr. Bell added. "I don't particularly like square faces," he said. Marketers need to offer watches that look like traditional Swiss pieces but with smart features inside, he said.
If wearables don't improve in the near future, the reality won't live up to the hype, he said. "We want to get into this space quickly," Mr. Bell said. "We'd like to help drive it."
To make sure that Intel's bet pays off, the company has become a tech sponsor of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and worked with design-focused retailer Opening Ceremony to develop a smart bracelet called Mica (for My Intelligent Communication Accessory).
Mr. Bell showed off a MICA bracelet on stage at the Web Summit. "We've done a lot of work to bring technology and fashion together," he said.
Apple's entry into the business with the Apple Watch, of course, helps build consumer interest and ensure that another marketer is paying close attention to design, he said. "Overnight for me it legitimized smart watches," Mr. Bell said.
