About the Owner
About Ray and Sue Thornber
We bought 15, Las Fuentes last year after retirement and plan to spend time here ourselves, as well as offering it for holiday rental. We have refurbished the property during 2012, including external repainting, a new kitchen, solar water heating and new linen and towels. The books and DVDs reflect our tastes and hopefully yours as well! The satellite TV has recently been installed and will be upgraded later in 2015.

I've stayed here quite a few times now. It's a lovely apartment, well furnished, clean and comfortable and the last time I stayed it had been redecorated, which was a lovely surprise. The area is quiet and peaceful and safe. The pool is never busy and just cold enough to be refreshing once you've recovered your breath. Ray and Sue are friendly and helpful and always accommodating with the change over times if they can be. There have been a couple of cockroaches - but not enough to put me off and I am terrified of the things! The apartment is well furnished and equipped and there are plenty of sunbeds, cushions and beach towels for use. There is wi-fi and a good tv system with movies, and plenty of dvd's. All in all, a delightful place to stay.
Cosy, but too warm, no air con & cockroaches
The apartment was well located and in a quiet residential complex. The pool was lovely and clean although the sunbeds were broken and the overall condition of the outside of the pool was a little tired.
The apartment was homely with very comfy sofas and had everything you need for your stay. Located very close to a large supermarket and good cafe's and bakeries were a 5 minute walk away. The view to the rear of the property was a large derilict area sectioned off with wire fencing, so not much of a view.
Sadly I have to say that the cleanliness of the apartment was not so good. The floors were clean where you walked but the edges, corners and under furniture were filthy. One of the drawers in the main bedroom contained a dead cockroach which put me off using it for my clothes.The cushions for the sunbeds were grubby and had patches of mould on them. We had a major issue with the lack of air con and the apartment is unbearably hot in the evening. The presence of cockroaches meant that we couldnt leave windows open at night and the fans were simply not enough to keep us cool. During our stay we had cockroaches every night and in total we had to deal with 7 or 8 of them every evening. We had to purchase spray and powder to try and keep them at bay, leave all the plugs in, block up the overflows in the sinks and put powder around the shower drain. We placed the bins outside and had to visit the communal bins twice a day to avoid having any rubbish at all which might attract the cockroaches. Our daughter slept in the lounge after waking to see a very large cockroach crawling up her bedroom wall on the 2nd night of our stay. Whilst I understand that hot climates attract cockroches and other insects we did feel that having to deal with the amount we had was not good and it proved to be quite stressfull in the evening when we returned back to the apartment not knowing how many we would find.
Overall we found the apartment to be a little tired and out of date. The wifi was unpredictable and it took an age to connect. Dealing with Ray was fine although we didnt meet as he was away during our stay. We did enjoy our holiday and apart from the cleanliness, lack of air con and the cockroaches, we enjoyed our time at the apartment, however we would not return to this particualr apartment for the reasons set out in this review.
Fuerteventura family holiday
This is an excellent apartment with everything you need for a perfect holiday well equipped. The location is great and we had a great time. The owner was very helpful and gave us an extra key on request. He was very friendly and a warm welcome awaited. We had a fab holiday and will return next year to this property. I would highly recommend this apartment if you are going to Fuerteventura you will love it.
Great apartment, great value for money.
We met Ray right on time outside the apartment with the keys. Ray gave us a summary of all the facilities and useful tips for the holiday. I was blown away by the apartment which is much better than the description leads you to expect. It is a lot more roomy than the pictures suggest and the outside terrace is just enormous and gets the sun all day! The complex is quiet and clean with well kept gardens and two stunning pools which were never busy at any time during our stay. There are also extra features such as a drinking water tap over the sink which provides a separate supply of filtered drinking water saving you the trouble and expense of buying heavy loads of bottled water. There is also a digital safe to store money etc. which was most welcome. There wasn't much in the way of English TV but the massive collection of DVD's more than made up for it. It's a great selection of films, comedy, TV series, children's programmes, something for everyone. The other aspect I wasn't expecting was the amazing double aspect views from the apartment, you had an amazing view of the sunset over the volcano from the lounge, main bedroom and balcony, with a view over Isla de Lobos and Lanzarote from the dining area and second bedroom. We walked into town most days and found the walk very easy. It also felt very safe and was well lit at night. If you don't to walk into town there are a number of excellent cafes and a few bars at the roundabout on the main road 5 minutes walk away. We had a very enjoyable week and if we return to Fuerteventura, we will definitely want to stay here again.
Home from Home
We stayed here over Christmas and found the apartment to be very homely, clean and extremely well equipped (one of the best we have stayed in!) with everything you needed. Its quite a walk to the centre which we dont mind, however, there are a few nice places to eat and bars on the way and taxis readily available. The complex was mainly quiet with a lovely pool but unfortunately it takes your breath away at that time of year! Thanks to Ray for looking after us and hope you are feeling better Dave....we hope to return again :-)
Lovely, comfortable apartment with great views.
The website does not do justice to this apartment. We stayed for 2 weeks in August - a family of 4. 2 adults and children aged 15 and 12 yrs. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, light and airy. The facilities were as described and the property was well maintained with helpful additions such as DVDs and books. There is a balcony overlooking one of the huge and well maintained swimming pools, with further views to the mountains behind. The roof terrace is sizeable enough for 4 loungers, table and chairs drying rack etc. and has brilliant views across the sea to Los Lobos and Lanzarote. There are actually 2 massive pools to serve the complex and we never found either at all busy, even though we were there in the middle of the summer holidays.
The town of Corallejo is just a 20-25 min walk away, and a large supermarket is about 10 mins in the other direction. The town has bars, restaurants, beaches, water park and a harbour from which boat trips and the ferry to Lanzarote leave. Strongly recommend the "mini cruise" to Los Lobos which has one of the most beautiful beaches/crystal clear blue sea in which to swim, and which includes snorkelling off the back of the glass bottomed boat! Also recommend the ferry over to Lanzarote - you might see flying fish on the way!! Lots of fun tourist attractions to do there.
Free bus from Corallejo to the Zoo in the South of Fuerteventura - great Zoo where you get so close to the animals, you can stroke the giraffes! Tickets can be arranged by "Whats on!" -British chap in town with an office just off the main street, or probably online. If you hire a car, the mountain drive through the central area of the island is stunning.
This apartment was a brilliant base for exploring the island and we quickly felt really at home. Apartment manager was available for dealing with any problems, not that we really had any, and for providing transport from the airport, which is about 40 mins drive.
Strongly recommend this apartment. We would love to go back!

This is my 2nd Crochet project...just finished it on the 19th, just in time to give it to my 7 year old grandson, Jaden, for Christmas! I'll try and post a picture!
That's really cool! I'm sure your grandson will love it.
Merryknitter, you've been busy! That afghan is awesome! My 5 yr old son would just DIE to have a blanket like that, but he already has plenty of handmade blankets!
Was that your own pattern? I'm guessing yes since you are so creative!
Good job!
Hey Mary Grace!Are you all ready for Christmas? I've got to check out your site and see what you've been up to...LOL!
No, I don't think I'm ready to create my own patterns...yet! I have so much to learn! I found it on Ravelry...check it out! I had lots of help there from many people all over the country...it was fun!
You have a very Merry Christmas, my friend!
I also crocheted that "Just My Cup Of Tea" bookmark out of the thread crochet...it was a little harder than the afghan...I'll have to take a picture of that too!Love ya,Merry
You did great! :cheering: I started out making this blanket in black and white instead of red, blue, and black and got fed up most of the way through. I finally decided it was enough to do it without the webbing.
I keep telling myself I'm going to start one again for my boyfriend's son but then I remember how long it took me and I think..nah..LOL
That turned out wonderful!! I'm not sure I could do that now let alone it just be my 2nd project:thumbsup:
its lovely ,,,,,,

HI guys! Sorry for the INSANE delay! I had no inspiration and have been extremely busy with schoolwork. (I am now preparing for SATs in Jan and A levels next year!) I hope you like this! I will try to post again soon!
'Draco seems slightly off today. Slightly different. I wonder why?' Harry thought as he trailed after Draco. Before long, Harry caught sight of the picnic basket. He gasped in surprise.
Upon hearing Harry's gasp, Draco smiled to himself. It was so easy to please Harry. Even a little thing like a picnic mad him happy. Draco turned around only to see Harry standing there, his eyes glossy. 'He looks like he's about to cry? Why?' Draco thought to himself, worried. "Harry? Are you all right?" Draco asked, his voice laced with concern.
Harry laughed shakily and shook his head. "I'm fine Draco, really. It's just that this is the first time anyone has prepared a picnic for me." He smiled.
Draco gaped at Harry in horror. 'First picnic?' he thought, shocked. Draco remembered his father bringing him for a picnic when he was four.
Harry caught sight of Draco's shocked expression. He laughed. "Draco, it's alright," he said, hugging Draco, "I'm sure you'll make my first picnic really great. Right?"
Draco was pulled out of his reverie. "Of course I will!" he exclaimed, pulling Harry down onto the picnic blanket next to him and settling Draco the kitten in a small basket between them.
Draco mewled, burrowing into the piles of cloth in his warm basket. Draco began pulling food out from the picnic basket. He handed Harry a bottle of butterbeer and a ham sandwich before doling some out for himself. Harry happily bit into his sandwich, pulling off small chunks of bread for Draco, who ate them happily.
Draco smiled at the picture Harry made. Harry really was quite beautiful, he thought, as all thoughts of nefarious plans flew out of his mind. Harry looked over and caught him staring. Harry smiled shyly and moved to sit closer to Draco, burying his head in the crook of Draco's neck.
"You smell nice." Harry mumbled to Draco. Draco grinned, raising his hand to stroke through Harry's hair. Harry looked up at him. "Thank you Draco. I really enjoyed this picnic."
"So did I Harry." Draco replied, holding Harry close to him. Draco mewled, annoyed at the lack of attention being paid to him. They both laughed before Harry picked him up and settled him on his lap. Harry stroked Draco as he purred.
'I wish that were me Harry was stroking.' Draco thought before he caught himself in surprise.
Soon, it was really dark and Draco began to pack up the picnic. He held Harry's hand and walked him to his rooms.
"Thanks again Draco" Harry said, while petting Draco. Draco smiled. Harry gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Draco" he whispered, before disappearing into his rooms.
Draco was surprised. He touched a hand to his cheek, smiling to himself. "Goodnight Harry" he whispered to the door before heading off to his common rooms, confused.

i decided to go alone
Better alone than have anyone else laughing at me I decided. I jammed the key into the pocket of my jacket, I fought the urge to go home and change, my best suit made me feel like I stood out which was the last thing I wanted right now. I started walking towards my car, which I'd parked on the next street. Somehow the sporty yellow car had seemed a bit unfitting for a funeral. The old town was not somewhere I had visited often, infact I hadn't been there since my childhood and could not imagine what could have possessed my father to use the lockboxes there when he had a perfectly good safe in his study. Perhaps he hadn't realised I had grown out of treasure hunts years ago.
I approached the car noting to my dismay that I seemed to have left the bonnet of the car popped, infact that was not all the doors seemed to have been forced open and the whole of my car ransacked. I stared in horror at the contents of my car, spilling onto the pavement ripped and destroyed, even the seats were gashed down the middle and the padding pulled out, I sat by the side of the road, shocked by the sight that met my eyes, was it mindless vandalism? Could someone really hate me so much to ruin my car as I mourned for my father? Or could it have been they were searching for the key? How could someone have found out so quickly that I had it?
The mess was beginning to attract passers by and a gathering began to form around the car, nobody seemed to have noticed it was my car, I still had chance to slip away unseen.

My Husband, my Family, my Friends.
Every day I thank God for my husband, family and friends. I've been married for 31 years, but we've been together for 37 years. My husband is my best friend. We've bee through some horrendous times, and we've been through amazing, happy times. I just feel so blessed. I love my husband more than anything, and I thank God, and ask him to care of every one that I love.
My family have been pretty much supportive of me through the years, in spite of the fact that their life styles are a lot different from mine. I wish that my parents were still alive to see the four of us all grown up and doing very well. I think they would have been very proud of us. I thank God every day for my family.
I don't have a huge circle of friends,mostly it's because I work nights, and the people I used to see a lot work days. Friendships fade. The friends I do have though, are the salt of the earth. Trustworthy, fun to be around, caring. I Thank God every day for my friends.

Canada cuts 2011 growth forecast to 2.4 percent
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Canadian government trimmed its estimate of 2011 economic growth on Tuesday and the finance minister said he expects to encounter "resistance" to efforts to bring the unemployment rate down.
Ottawa lowered its growth estimate to 2.4 percent from 2.5 percent, based on the median of private sector forecasters. It sees the economy growing at 2.8 percent in 2012, unchanged from its previous estimate.
The government surveyed private sector economists in December and their forecasts will be used for budget planning purposes.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty repeated his concerns that the economic recovery remains fragile and said that it could be difficult to lower the unemployment rate.
In December, the jobless rate was 7.6 percent, Statistics Canada reported, and it is forecast to be at the same level in January. Statscan issues its January employment report on Friday.
"We anticipate resistance to the unemployment rate coming down," Flaherty told reporters.
"This is true also in the United States. A lot of employers have been hesitant to rehire because of their perception of risk in the economy. We expect that they'll be more confident going forward."
The government forecast nominal GDP growth of 4.7 percent in 2011 and 5.2 percent in 2012.
Last year, the Finance Department revised down private-sector forecasts for nominal GDP growth in what it called an "adjustment for risk" to account for the highly uncertain global outlook. Continued...

Firefox and Codecs: "Face of Mozilla" at Will of Community
Mitchell Baker, Mozilla Foundation cofounder and present at the open source meeting in Munich sponsored by the foundation and OpenOffice.org, recommitted the open course the Firefox browser was taking with video codecs, but still wishes for more user feedback.
She claims to be no "purist" when it comes to the divisiveness of open and close software, in her talk at the meeting in Munich. Nevertheless, she asserted that it was of strategic importance to admit that patent-bound video codecs "do not just disappear once installed."
So far the Firefox browser has been free from the proprietary and cost-based H.264 solution that YouTube recently rolled out, well aware that use was limited to the Chrome, Safari and ChromeFrame-on-Internet-Explorer browsers. Longtime Mozilla developer and ex-IBM researcher Robert O'Callahan set up an FAQ in his blog about why Firefox is not supporting the codec.
When a participant of the open source meeting posed the question to Baker whether Firefox would support the HD codec, she at first responded with a defiant shake of the head, then shrugged her shoulders. Apparently, she said, doing so would damage some of the principles behind free software, not to speak of the millions of dollars of licensing fees. However, she became increasingly interested in what the common user has to say about it.
Baker's whole purpose for being at the open source meeting was to comment on the structure of the Mozilla community and particulars of the project. Thus here statements were clearly directed to the consumer, that is, to users. It came to the point, when questioned at the edges of the meeting about whether the foundation provides any commercial support for enterprises, that she had to say, "regretfully, but definitely no." The user and developer community will decide what the browser should support, she asserted. "We don't want to lose the sympathy and support of the community; that would be fatal for Mozilla," she explained.

Playing as the UK designated hitter, Bernal hammered a pitch down the left field line for a three-run homer in the the fourth inning that broke a 2-2 tie and set the tone for the rest of the night. Freshman second baseman JaVon Shelby added a homer of his own in the sixth as part of a two-hit, three-RBI game for the Cats.
"Any home run's great, but hitting one against Louisville feels really good," said Bernal, who called the game the best of his career.
Bernal just narrowly missed a home run in his first at-bat, a ball that was pulled just foul down the left field line.
"I hope I can keep seeing the ball this well and keep putting the bat on the ball," he said.
No. 19 Kentucky (20-9) also got a strong starting effort from left-handed pitcher Dylan Dwyer, who allowed only two runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings in his second career start, battling out of several early jams.
"I thought he was very tentative early," UK coach Gary Henderson said. "Not very impressed with that piece of it, but very impressed that he kept fighting.
"He's going to be a really good pitcher. There's still a little bit of self-doubt in him that he's going to have to get rid of if he wants to reach his potential, but that will happen for him. His numbers this year have been really good... Dylan Dwyer should be a front-line guy in our league."
Dwyer (2-1) got some help from his defense, including catcher Micheal Thomas throwing out Louisville' Sutton Whiting after a leadoff hit in the top of the fifth. Later in the inning, right fielder Kyle Barrett and Shelby executed a perfect relay throw to nail a Cardinal runner at home plate.
"You bring Mr. Momentum into your dugout," Henderson said of the defensive gems. "Whether you think about it that way or not, you feel it... It's a huge shot of adrenaline."
Zack Brown, Logan Salow and Spencer Jack worked the final 3.1 innings out of the UK bullpen, holding No. 8 Louisville (21-7) to just one run on one hit and two walks. Jack picked up his second save of the season by working the final 2.2 innings with three strikeouts.
Louisville catcher Kyle Gibson hit his first home run of the season in the second inning to give the Cards a 2-0 lead, but it didn't last long as UK battled back with two runs in the bottom of the inning.
Starter Josh Rogers (0-1) took the loss for the Cardinals, allowing five runs on five hits and a pair of walks.
It marked UK's fifth win over a team ranked in the Top 10 this season.

Honey Bee?
Observed: 24th July 2011 By: Hildesvini
Added: 28th July 2011
Ok. My "Complete Book" says that "Honey Bees vary in colour but they can always be recognised by the long pointed marginal cell reaching almost to the wing tip". It has got a long pointed marginal cell. Hasn't it?
Other observations of Leafcutter bee (Megachile)
Honey bee identification
No, I'm afraid it hasn't got the long apical cell. Other identifying features to look for in honey bees are the hairy eyes and the characteristic flattened hind tibiae adapted for carrying pollen. This leafcutter bee has long hairs on the underside of the abdomen that hold the pollen.

George Benson
As an ace jazz guitarist with a husky, syncopated voice, George Benson straddled the line between Quiet Storm R&B and adult contemporary during the mid-1970s and early 1980s. His singles from that era sound both of the time and utterly ageless: "Turn Your Love Around" predated the Police's "Roxanne," with its profession of love for a working girl; "Give Me the Night" shimmers with the electric pulse of anticipation; and his live recording of "On Broadway" has become the definitive version of the classic.Benson has worked his way back into the jazz world over the past few decades. His most recent studio album, Givin' It Up, was released in 2006 and saw him paired up with fellow pop-soul crossover Al Jarreau. The album revisited Benson's hit "Breezin'" alongside covers of Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze" and Darryl Hall's "Every Time You Go Away," adding some soulful crooning and smooth-jazz instrumentation to these soft-rock classics. This evening at the Seminole Hard Rock is billed as a tribute to Nat King Cole, so expect plenty of reworkings of the late jazz great's classics.

East Tennessee State University Advances Counselor Education Program with EMS
East Tennessee State University has selected Education Management Solutions' Total Counseling, an innovative audio-video and data management software solution for counselor training.
EMS' Total Counseling provides video recordings of counseling and role-playing sessions and data management, enabling counseling programs to document and track student learning outcomes. This helps demonstrate specific counseling concepts, models counselor behaviors for future practice, and enhances the learning process of counselors-in-
Total Counseling makes it simple for educators to audit students' progress, which helps determine if they will be able to transfer the skills they acquired during role-play to their work with actual clients.
The clinic at ETSU occupies approximately 1,440 square feet, and consists of a waiting room, a family counseling room, a play therapy/family room, three individual/couple rooms, and a conference/observation/
Meeting Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards was important to East Tennessee State University. Counseling Program Coordinator Janna L. Scarborough, Ph.D. says the program has the following goals: track student progress through key assessment of student learning outcomes linked to CACREP standards; on-site digital audio/recording capability to capture counseling and supervision sessions with state-of-the-
"We believe attainment of these goals will assist us in maintaining our high standards in providing a quality educational experience for our graduate students, as well as the clients we serve," says Scarborough.
ETSU at first attempted to find software and hardware that would help the university achieve each goal individually. "What we found, however," says Scarborough, "[was that] Education Management Solutions' Total Counseling was one integrated system that would enable us to achieve all of our goals."
ETSU will utilize the EMS solution to help improve degree candidates' self-critique abilities, counseling skills, and knowledge. Faculty will also analyze attainment of student learning objectives by student, course, and concentration, provide timely feedback to candidates, and analyze sessions and information from clients to improve the quality of care.
Scarborough concludes, "We are excited to work with the team at EMS, and look forward to being equipped to meet the opportunities of the future and maintain our high standards of excellence!"

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Caldera cone metal
Mar 25, 2011 at 3:49 pm #1271115
I would like to attempt to make my own Caldera cone. From what I understand reading the marketing materials, it's just a cone-shaped wind-screen that has a slot opening for your pot handles to stick through and the circular opening at the top is just the right size for the rim of your pot to rest without falling. Are there other pieces to hold the pot in place that I am unaware of?
Can I find the metal at my local ACE or OSH hardware store? What aisle is the metal located and when the old guy working there pounces on me and asks what I'm looking for, what do I tell him?Mar 25, 2011 at 4:10 pm #1714741

@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
It is a good quality aluminum alloy. You might find aluminum flashing (roofing and siding materials) in a hardware store, which is typically softer stuff. Aluminum comes in many alloys and varies in hardness, flexibility, etc. I have re-purposed some aluminum duct material with decent results.
The Caldera cone is a very precise cut. The coupling for the side is a dovetail sort of arrangement that is a precise fit and the top is cut just right for the pot. In other words, it is harder to make than you might think. I thought it was expensive until I had one in my hands. They earn their keep!
Check out zenstoves.net for instructions and templates to make a cone-style pot stand (among others):
If you go to your local library you can probably find a vocational instruction book on sheet-metal bending and cutting. Have fun and watch your fingers– the cut metal can be very sharp. You can sandpaper the finished edges to dull them or I use a knife sharpening stone to un-sharpen them.Mar 25, 2011 at 4:18 pm #1714749
Diane, once you get the aluminum Caldera mastered, you can move up to the titanium version.
Seriously, that would be step up, because titanium is difficult to work on. After all of that trouble, you could burn wood in it. Whereas, the aluminum one would deform from that much heat.

Time to go to Ikea and get a DIY wood stove for a few dollars!Mar 25, 2011 at 6:36 pm #1714819
The thing about wood stoves that I just don't get is why not leave the stove home and just place your pot right on top of a tiny fire?
So "aluminum flashing" is the name of the material?
Maybe if it's really super hard to do I shouldn't try. But then again, I have learned how to make shoes so maybe I can learn how to make one of these.Mar 25, 2011 at 6:43 pm #1714826

@dsouthLocale: Southeast
Dianne, it is not hard at all. I have made three. Aluminum flashing cuts easily with household scissors. If you viewed 2Questions video he simplifies the pattern making process. It is about an hour project.Mar 25, 2011 at 7:00 pm #1714834
Piper, you can put your pot directly on a tiny fire. However, in many areas of California in the summertime, open wood campfires are not allowed. In some areas, they classify a Caldera stove as a camp stove, not as a campfire, since it is enclosed. Open wood campfires are kind of bad if it is windy. That is the beauty of the titanium Caldera, because you can burn wood, or alcohol, or Esbit. With the aluminum Caldera that you propose, you can burn alcohol or Esbit.
If you put a sheet of aluminum underneath the Caldera, you should be able to eliminate any trace of your fire after you leave.
Get the design pattern and study that before you start.
Aluminum flashing metal comes in rolls of various widths, lengths, and thicknesses. Start with a Home Depot and work your way out.
I doubt that you will find it to be super hard. Still, there will be tricks to be learned. You will probably need a hacksaw or some tin snips, and then some other tools. Air holes are normally drilled with an electric drill.

Any tips on doing a good small "brake" ? for precise folds and bending?Mar 25, 2011 at 7:22 pm #1714849
"Any tips on doing a good small "brake" ?"
You know, that is one shop tool that I don't have. I've needed one several times in the past year, and I don't even know where I can borrow one.
There are some hand tools that you can purchase cheaply, and you can make a rolled edge on soft metal. That is about as far as I will go, I think.
I managed to put a rolled edge on some titanium foil. However, titanium seems to be a bit on the brittle side if you get the edge formed too sharply.

@brendansLocale: Fruita CO
I'd recommend the .003" titanium from Suluk46. I made a cone with an inferno insert for woodburning with a fosters pot. The cone is .5 oz. Complete woodburning setup (cone, internal cone, grate, and 'floor' is 1.5 oz. For closure, i just did tabs with slots and holes for tarp stakes to hold up the pot (I did two sets, one higher for woodburning and one lower for alky).
the photo's a little deceptive do to the wide angle, but the cone is slightly taller than the Fosters can.Mar 26, 2011 at 10:45 pm #1715357
Thank you for all the info. I should have done it today. Instead I made another pair of shoes. What is the matter with me???
Maybe I can make a cone tomorrow. The only reason I want one is for my alcohol stove so that I don't even need a fancy stove that lets me set the pot on the stove, just a cup to hold the alcohol.
After seeing the Fosters can above, I wonder if I could just put a cut half of a Fosters can around my alcohol stove as a pot stand/wind screen. Punch a bunch of holes in it for ventilation. Maybe that's all I really need.Mar 26, 2011 at 10:58 pm #1715361
A Caldera cone is effective because it represents an almost perfect wind screen for whatever is burning inside it. The size of the holes, the quantity of holes, and the placement of holes are each kind of non-trivial.
The second thing that is effective about it is that it holds your cook pot just right.
You could produce something very easily that accomplishes some of these two points, but it probably won't be as light.

Hi Piper,
I live in SB and I have an aluminum caldera cone — if you want to come play with it for inspiration, let me know. I'm thinking of upgrading to an ULC version to fit in my pot, but I'm also toying with the idea of hacking up my aluminum cone with my utility knife… Anyway, shoot me an email at echaplin at gmail dot com if you'd like to see a cone in the flesh before you get started.

Any tips on doing a good small "brake" ? for precise folds and bending?"
I'm not Bob..but…
I've made ~5 cones of varying quality before finally really getting it to look really nice (the others were functional, but I'm an engineer, form and function are both important when I have to look at it all the time). The lack of an angle brake/press brake of my own is generally the most difficult part of making one. What I've found works best is this:
Find an end table, coffee table, piece of wood/board, counter top, or other rigid thick surface with a very sharp 90 degree edge. Rounded edges won't work.
Next, find a book that is at least as tall as your edge that you're bending is long. It needs to be a hard cover book. Any other flat stiff object will work here though, a board, piece of metal, etc.
Place the edge you wish to bend over the edge of the table/countertop, overhanging the amount you wish to bend over the edge of the table/counter.
Place the book on top and roll over the edge of the table/countertop, bending the metal as you roll the book. This will get you to approx a 90 degree bend (just a shade under due to spring-back).
From here you can flip the metal over so that the newly bent edge is facing upwards. Use the book to press the surface down to make the bend 180 degrees.
Depending on how close that gets me to a 180, I'll sometimes pinch the edge down with a pair of pliers.
This is how I've finished the connecting edges (in place of the dovetails the production calderas use) on all of the cones I've made.
Hopefully those instructions make sense…using those and the youtube video on constructing a cone, you should know enough to be dangerous ;)Mar 28, 2011 at 11:03 am #1716003
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VerP7-aiEBw
This has a measurement error in it. When using this method to determine the radii for the conic section, use the red lines (on the sloping side), not the central black line as suggested.
Either that, or use my script for creating templates…Mar 29, 2011 at 3:43 pm #1716768
Piper —
Take a steel rule or some flat stock, the thickness of the fold and clamp it and the stock together. I use my workmate, but you could do the same with a pair of 2×4 and C-clamps.
Extend the edge of the cone material about 3/8" beyond the flat stock.
Take a piece of hard wood and slowly work the cone material around the edge of the flat stock. The thinner the flat stock the smaller the bend radius.
I can post a picture if the description is unclear.
You should be able to produce a nice fold which will interlock.
The trick will be in placing the fold so the correct diameter is produced to hold the pot.
I leave the geometry of the cone up to you. It is all high school geometry.
Vent holes can be drilled with a spade bit if you have a very light touch. You may want to clamp the sheet between two pieces of wood.Mar 30, 2011 at 5:14 am #1717059
You only need nice, sharp, precisely positioned folds if you intend to copy Trail Designs' design closely.
There are plenty of other joints that can be used that are simpler to make, simpler to mate, and just as robust and reliable. I use a simple slot and tab joint for my clones.
For instance:
Admittedly, this uses a folded reinforcement on the edge. I make this by running a fine-tipped ball-point pen along a ruler to pre-form the fold, and then complete to fold with a thumbnail, or spoon, or similar smooth tool.Mar 31, 2011 at 3:22 pm #1717964
Kevin — nice job. Not sure how you get at the pot handles, but just a detail.
The interlocking joint would be tough to hit. Your idea is much better. The folded edge is needed for stiffness.Mar 31, 2011 at 5:20 pm #1718013

Nice! Any more photos? I can't figure out the connection from the description.
I decided to google for very small sheet metal brake and came up with this:
Kevin; a program to make/print a template for the screen?
Wow I'm really seriously impressed!Apr 1, 2011 at 7:54 am #1718283
Tim & Cola,
Thanks for the compliments.
There are no handles on that MSR Titan; I'd taken them off, and used a pan grab instead. They're now re-fitted, and the handle opening extended. Actually, I use Flissure versions of the clone now, with a horizontal split & joint.
> The folded edge is needed for stiffness.
That's exactly right; in the thinner foils I have access to, the edge tends to bow out slightly. Adding the little triangular fold stops that. In thicker foils such as aluminium roof flashing, the fold may be unncessary, or simply a double thickness.
There are plenty of example clones, of all shapes and sizes, to be found on the Outdoors Magic thread. Fast forward to the last few pages, as the thread's pretty long. Or use the print thread version to see the thread in one go… You can chart the development of the script from an initial throwaway thought, through to what is now a fairly-well refined design tool. And, along the way, I added, and then removed, a mitre joint generator, replacing it with the simpler slot & tab joint which seems perfectly good enough.
The number of script users is almost 100 now… it allows you to create a custom clone for any size pan and burner, and a whole bunch of other esoteric settings. It will generate a horizontally-split clone that will generally fit inside the pan it supports (Flissure option), an inner cone for wood burning (the Infernal option), and my own variant, the Strata ring, which allows the use of one cone with two pans (within reason). The latter is pretty hard to make, but not impossible. For those without a printer, it also displays a "draughtsman's construction", giving the inner and outer radii and horizontal extent, allowing a simple clone to be made by scribing arcs on foil, or on to a template.
PM me with an email address if you'd like the script and instructions document. It's free.Apr 7, 2011 at 5:53 pm #1721699
Kevin — If the pot has a handle, wouldn't it be better to place the cutout opposite the joint instead of at the joint, which shortens it?Apr 7, 2011 at 6:09 pm #1721705
I'm guessing this method is lighter in weight than having it on the other side.
–B.G.–Apr 8, 2011 at 6:33 am #1721864
If you're using a folded joint then yes, keeping the joint as long as possible may be good.
But for my slot & tab joint method, I've found that it really doesn't matter where it is, as far as joint strength is concerned, because the interlocked slot and tabs are the same size wherever they are. The joint is usually at least half the depth of the cone, for the pans I've used, anyway; I can imagine a very tall pan with full-height handles might have less, but I don't have any such pans…
The other reason for keeping joint and handle together is that the handle opening provides a natural weak point in the entire structure, and, in stiffer foils that aren't 'encouraged' to hold their shape, the tips of the opening can tend to bow out away from the pan. If the opening and the joint are on opposite sides, you have two weaknesses in the cone circularity. The overlapping of the joint helps to keep this issue under control a little. I also usually keep the handle openings pretty tight, so care is needed when putting the pan in the cone. If the joint were on the opposite side, I'd have to take care not to pop the joint open whilst negotiating the pan into the cone.
It's always best to pre-bend the cone by rolling it up into a tighter cone, so that, when released, it relaxes into just about the right size cone to fit the pan, so that little or no encouragement is needed to make it form the right-sized cone. Concentrate especially on the area around the pan opening, as this is where the cone will tend to bow out, as the conic section is interrupted by the opening.
In the Flissure split version, there's no vertical joint at all in the upper section (which has confused a number of users of the script), so the ends of this must, by necessity, be at the handle opening… I find that the horizontal Flissure joint, when mated, allows the foil to act pretty much like a single piece of foil, due to the overlapping joint, and the conical shape which holds the joint securely in place; once formed into a cone, the Flissure joint cannot be pulled undone, because the base up the upper half conic is a larger diameter than the top of the lower half conic.
Have a play with this idea; you can tell the script to make a very shallow handle opening, and then make one with the required depth, and put the handle openings on the first template. Or you could just use the basic template and draw the opening by hand (shock horror!). You might find it works better than I have.

My Review:
I have to admit I hadn't heard about Lisa Kleypas before I received this book for review. But when I read the book description I was really happy to get the chance to read this book. Especially since I'm planning my own wedding at the moment, I loved reading a story about a wedding planner.
In 'Brown-Eyed Girl' we meet wedding planner Avery Crosslin. Avery is a rising start in the wedding planning business. But although she is very good in her job, she doesn't believe in love and marriage for herself. After a rough past Avery is determined to keep men at arm's length. But when she meets wealthy bachelor Joe Travis, Avery is surprised to find herself being swept of her feet rather easy. But Avery isn't going to fall for Joe. That is the plan at least.. But Joe isn't helping her at all.
'Brown-Eyed Girl' is a sweet story that was easy to read and a perfect distraction after a very hard and long workweek. Maybe it is because I'm planning my own wedding at the moment, but I really enjoyed reading about Avery and her job as a wedding planner. Since Avery really is a perfectionist and a control freak, her job lead to some very funny moments and I loved reading about it. Especially since I'm a control freak too.. So lots of things I could relate too.
Romance wise, 'Brown- Eyed Girl' was good but never really impressive. The romance seemed kind of rushed at moments. And I definitely hoped for a longer chase. I enjoyed reading about Avery and Joe. But I kind of thought Avery would resist Joe a little longer. Now it kind of felt like Joe didn't have to work that hard at all. And it didn't seem to fit the story.
But despite that I really enjoyed reading 'Brown-Eyed Girl'. It was fun and a perfect getaway. And I definitely plan to read more books by Lisa Kleypas.

text: My son, Gavin, has had a rather rough last year medically. On top of that, Gavin has autism and mental retardation so cognitively about 16 months- 2 years old. It was very hard for him to understand what was going on. He had open heart surgery in November and I swear seeing him strapped to that bed was the hardest thing ever. So to make a long story short... we received notification that Gavin is being granted a wish. Although he is primarily nonverbal (about 10 words) when I asked him what he wished all he kept saying was "Lightning McQueen" and "fish. This was a pretty exciting for us because Gavin normally doesnt open and answer questions. It really shows how excited he is So we met with our volunteers last week and they were so awesome and nice. Gavin has wished to go meet Lightning McQueen for his birthday (October 15th). We are waiting for approval now but they were pretty hopeful (but as everyone know they cant make guarantees). I will keep everyone posted

Kyle: Nice GuyMature
I played with Damien's hair as he slept. I couldn't blame him, really, we'd been at it like rabbits all night. I was tired out as well but I couldn't get to sleep. There was something bugging me. Damien had said "maybe next year" when I said it felt like I was gonna propose so did that mean he wanted me to or...? I mean, the subject of marriage had come up once or twice before like when Mom disowned me and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, but... I dunno, marriage? Wouldn't it be kinda too soon after like a year of dating? And when you take into account how many times we'd broken up...
Damien hummed as he woke up the next morning, snuggling up to me again while I was still playing with his hair. The whole proposing next year thing had kept me up all night. I smiled at him, yawning ever so slightly.
He smiled back and asked "Did you sleep at all?"
"A little" I lied. I got the feeling he didn't believe me. "Sleep okay?"
He nodded. "Best night's sleep in ages"
I hummed and he nuzzled up to me. It hit home then just how much I'd miss him when he was gone again.
"Do you really have to go?" I asked sadly.
He sighed a little, mirroring the sad look on my face. "I'm sorry, gorgeous"
I cuddled him a little tighter, not wanting to let him go, and he leant his head on my chest.
"Thank you for an amazing Christmas" he said, planting a small kiss on my lips.
I kissed back. "It wouldn't have been Christmas without you, gorgeous"
"I would've said it could've been, but after meeting Matt..." he chuckled slightly.
"He used to be such a nice guy" I sighed, remembering the days when he used to just sit and listen to me talk.
"I'm sure I can find a way of getting his ass kicked if he ever steps out of line" Damien smiled. "I just wish I could do it myself"
I laughed a little, humming and shutting my eyes as he kissed my forehead. He started playing with my hair and I realised just how tired I was. I'd just started falling asleep when he kissed me. I kissed back and he kissed me again, slowly this time. I matched his every move and he hummed. I flashed him a sleepy smile, burying my head in his neck when he cuddled me. He kissed the top of my head and I managed to let out a hum before I fell asleep.
Damien woke me up at some point and smotherhuggled me before I was even conscious enough to remember my own name. He was almost crying so I could only guess it was time for him to go. Let's just say, if there was a contest for mushy goodbyes, we would've won first, second and third prize.
It couldn't have been more than an hour before Matt showed up. I still hadn't exactly forgiven him for bursting in the day before but what could I do? He smiled as I let him in, shutting the door behind him. I was just about to ask how his Christmas was when his fist collided with my face, more specifically my eye. I stumbled backwards in shock. Matt just glared at me.
"Don't you ever disrespect me like you did yesterday again, do you understand?" he growled angrily.
I didn't say anything, still in shock. It just pissed him off more.
"Answer me, you little shit"
I clenched my jaw. "Get out"
He chuckled. "You obviously didn't hear me"
"Fine, jeez" I said and he smiled again.
"Alright now, let's kiss and make up" he said, pulling me towards the bedroom.
"I'm not in the mood"
"I don't give a fuck" Matt said, grabbing a fistful of my hair and dragging me over to the bed.
He pinned me down when I tried to push him off and I tried to kick him in the balls but he locked my feet between his knees. I started to panic as he pulled down my pants, unbuttoning his own jeans.
"Matt, gorgeous, we'll fuck later, I promise" I said feebly, trying to worm myself out of the situation.
"Yeah? Well I'm horny now so stop whining like a bitch"
He got his cock out and grabbed my hair again, forcing himself into my mouth til he was lubed up enough to fuck me. He threw me back down on the bed, spreading my legs and grabbing my wrists to stop me fighting as he pushed in. I winced, keeping my eyes shut as he fucked me. He didn't seem to care that he was hurting me, just as long as he got a quick fuck. Relief flooded through me as he came but he grabbed my hair again, forcing me onto the floor. Within minutes, he'd shoved his cock in my mouth again, practically fucking my face and making me gag with each thrust. By the time he was done with me, I was numb. I'd stopped feeling anything after the fifth or sixth time, much to his annoyance.
He slid an arm round my waist, pulling me close and whispering "I didn't want to do that, Kyle, but someone had to teach you a lesson. You'll behave from now on, right?"
I nodded, not even paying attention to what he was saying.
Matt used to be such a nice guy...

Come Up and See Their Etchings
Despite what the show's title might lead you to believe, not all of the works included in the exhibition "You Draw Like a Girl," currently on view at Arizona State University's Downtown Center Galleria, are drawings, nor are all of the participants female. According to Sherrie Medina, participating artist and organizer of the exhibition, the show's intent is not to focus upon traditional drawings, but to "broaden and reinterpret the idea of drawing."
This is accomplished by the inclusion of work using media that traditionally haven't been connected with the process of drawing, such as ceramics, collage, metal sculpture and fiber works. Medina originally intended to include only female artists in the show, but reconsidered when several male artists asked that their work be displayed. Rather than being treated as the token male participants, the presence of their work represents what Medina describes as "a respectful exchange between men and women" that "helps to build a better support system for everyone involved." Six of the 18 artists represented are male: Matt Proctor, Jeremy Birddell, Azdine Sedjal, Nick Sudthisa, Ernest Lopez and Paul Wandless. The female roster includes the work of Nori Pao, Virginia Sardi, Maggie Leininger, Hisu Kim, Gingher Leyendecker, Nisha Drinkard, Sara Carlson, Isa Gordon, Sue Chenoweth, Cyndi Coon, Jennifer Marie Walker and Janice Henderson.
Located in a diminutive hallwaylike space at ASU's Downtown Center Galleria, the show is intended to be intimate. This is reflected in the sizes of the works in the show, which mimic the space that houses them--most are smaller than eight-by-ten inches. For those interested in picking up a piece or two, some of the works will be for sale.
--Kaytie Johnson
"You Draw Like a Girl" continues through Wednesday, September 30, at ASU's Downtown Center Galleria, located on the second floor at 502 East Monroe in downtown Phoenix. 248-9096.

A watch, I don't think I've ever reviewed one, but I have one for review today from a company called Cadence. This watch isn't just your normal kind though, it's a sneaky, geeky one. Yes I said sneaky, geeky there. This watch is called the 4-Bit binary and it was designed by a gentleman called John Flear for our enjoyment. What makes this watch special is the numbers, or actually lack of numbers, instead they are replaced with, you guessed it, 4-bit binary code. Anyway, let's just jump right into this…
4-BIT Watch Improves Your Geek Cred
Instead of Arabic or Latin numerals, the numbers on this dial are 4-bit. binary. This watch is classy enough to wear with on any occasion, while geeky enough to make a good conversation starter.
Want to improve your geek cred? Then this is the watch for you. Instead of Arabic or Latin numerals, the numbers on this dial are 4-bit. binary. This watch is classy enough to wear with on any occasion, while geeky enough to make a good conversation starter.
About John Flear's designs
The 4-bit binary watch was designed by John Flear. His designs often incorporate high-tech motifs into classical objects. These objects take on a signature retro-futuristic feel. This retro-futuristic tension also surfaced in his critically acclaimed low resolution LED panel. The LED panel simulated a swarm of fireflies within the rigid confines of a traditional wall mounted picture frame made of brushed aluminum. While not aluminum, the 4-bit watch also uses brushed metal, this time jewelry-grade stainless steel, to create a retro look. John Flear then punctures the retro look with the 4-bit binary markings that bring us back to our technological age where geeks rule supreme.
Technical specifications
-Case made from jewelry grade (316L) stainless steel.
-Saddle stitched two part leather strap with stainless steel buckle.
-Miyota quartz movement.
-Five year limited warranty on movement and hands.
-Case size: 40mm diameter, 9mm thickness.
-Water resistant to 3ATM.
-Sapphire coated quartz glass.
Price: $90.00
You can order the 4-bit watch with or without a box, they sent me one in a box, a bright orange box to be exact with the Cadence logo on it.
Inside you'll find the watch resting on a felt like black background.
When you unpack the watch you'll see it and a warranty/information card.
The back of the watch is a highly reflective chrome and the watch has a soft leather band for comfort. The watch is made of stainless steel which makes it durable, and it's battery powered.
The front of the band resembles a snakeskin I would think, or maybe crocodile.
The clasp is rather thick and appears to be heavy duty, this is a good thing of course.
The geek or 4-Bit part of this watch is the numbers, or I should say lack thereof. Instead of numbers there are dots or blocks which are the 4-bit binary code. You read it from the outside in to figure out what time it is, but you need to have some understanding of 4-bit.
The dots are 1, 2, 4 and 8 and here's a handy little chart to help you understand better:
Here's a few more pictures of the watch:
The 'numbers' are illuminated, or they glow in the dark but for whatever reason the hands don't, which doesn't make much sense to me. It would be nice if you could see it in the dark.
If you're looking for something stylish, yet in a subtle way let's people know you're a geek at heart, then you need the Cadence 4-Bit Binary Watch. This watch is very nicely made, and it looks great really, and of course it keeps good time. The 4-Bit Binary Watch features a nice looking face with 4-bit code replacing the normal numbers you'd find on a watch face. I like the Cadence 4-Bit Binary watch and I think you will too. I think anyone who gets one will be very happy with it. The watch can be worn everyday, and yet it's nice enough to worn out on the town if you'd want to.
+Well made
+Looks great
+Certainly unique
-Hands don't glow

D6 Factor - October 2009
The D6 Factor improved slightly from -6.3 in April to -6.2 in May. However, since the start of this recession in December 2007, the index has declined steadily. The persistent decline reflects the broad-based decrease seen in most of the Sixth District economic data used to compute the index. (A negative value indicates that economic conditions are weak.)
Note to readers: This report is updated only through May because we are in the process of revising the methodology and construction of the D6 Factor index. We apologize for any inconvenience.

European economy to take 10 years to recover By: Published on: January, 2013 It could take more than a decade before Europe fully emerges from the financial crisis, experienced central banker Nout Wellink told RBS. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Blaming the continents low-growth environment, the former European Central Bank board member warned that there would be more "hiccups" and possibly more countries derailed along the way. He said tougher regulators, decent capital buffers and a strong European banking union were vital to a stable future, but admitted it would be "a very long process". "If you look at the current situation in Spain, Greece and Ireland, its clear that it will take another five to 10 years, perhaps longer, before these economies are back on track," he said. "In the past, growth solved the problem, but this recovery is happening in very difficult circumstances and a low-growth environment, so will take time." Comparing todays problems to the oil crisis of 1973, when Arab oil producers imposed an embargo which damaged the economy and took years to resolve, he added: "Past experience shows that there will be more hiccups, with possibly more countries derailed and in need of help, before the economy recovers. "Im afraid such problems are normal in such difficult times not pleasant, but normal." He welcomed the recent agreement by eurozone finance ministers to cut Greek debts by EUR40 billion and release some EUR44 billion of loans. He said this "substantially reduced" the likelihood of Greece leaving the euro and should lead to more confidence in the region. Wellink, a Dutch economist who was a governor of the International Monetary Fund and has just joined the board of the Bank of China, said that regulators should be more critical to prevent future financial crises. "Regulators should not allow themselves to be influenced by the environment around them," he said. "In the past, when businesses were optimistic, regulators allowed themselves to be swept along with it and become less critical. "But they need to remember their role and keep a close eye on market practices in the good times as well as the bad." Wellink also stressed the importance of capital and liquidity buffers to ensure stability. A former chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, he defended the new capital requirements set out in the forthcoming Basel III regulation, criticised by some as excessive and harmful to liquidity. He argued that current markets meant many financial institutions were already keeping more cash in reserve than the new rules required. "We live in a world of great uncertainty," he said. "In 2009 few people forecast the crisis in Europe which started just one year later. We are now in a situation where banks dont trust one another and more capital will help resolve that. "Capital and liquidity buffers are one of the fundamental elements of successful markets. We need them to ensure confidence." Wellink said research among 27 jurisdictions found that only eight of them had issued final regulations and were completely ready to meet the Basel III requirements, so those rules would not be in place by 1 January next year as initially planned. He thought 1 July would be a more realistic target. Eurozone countries are currently considering a banking union to underpin the single currency, enabling them to underwrite one anothers debt and share risk. Countries such as Germany and Sweden have expressed concerns over the proposed powers of such a union and the possible disenfranchisement of non-eurozone members. Wellink welcomes such a body but does not rule out something smaller in scope than the original proposals. He said: "Being a supervisor of all 6,000 banks in Europe is a big job and, particularly with smaller banks, its uncertain whether a central body could do it better than national regulators. "I dont exclude something smaller in scope being set up perhaps a European supervisor for cross-border banks only, with more delegation to countries for smaller institutions. It might also only deal with guarantee schemes and crisis resolution for a limited number of banks."
