El Salvador - nos gusta!
We got up early on November 16th to prepare for our 6th border crossing from Guatemala to El Salvador. We dove into the lavish breakfast buffet at the hotel and did some bike maintenance. The previous evening I discovered that the screw that holds my air filter had come loose and the entire air intake was black with dirt! Not good at all and I actually had noticed that the bike wasn't running as smooth as usual. So I cleaned the air filter and let it dry overnight. Then I rubbed in some motor oil and put everything back into place.
Lars needed to adjust his chain. Both chain and rear sprocket was extremely worn and needed to be changed badly. We didnt carry a chain tool, so it wasn't something we could do ourselves. We would find a place in El Salvador and got it fixed.
Walter & Elisabeth from Austria were staying at the same hotel. They are traveling for 1 year in their RV. They shipped the RV to Halifax in Canada, crossed Canada, went up to Alaska, all the way up to the Arctic sea, turned around and then headed south all the way to the tip of Argentina like us.
It is amazing how few foreign cars or tourist we meet outside the obvious tourist magnets like San Cristobal De La Casas in Mexico or Antigua in Guatemala. Seems to us that the tourists are flocking to the very few places recommended in popular travel guides. So we enjoy the rare meeting with fellow travelers. Our poor Spanish is really very limiting in terms of interesting conversations with the locals.
Walther gave us his GPS maps for the entire Pan-American Highway which was really awesome. We dont have maps in our GPS for central or South America and having it the Pan-American Hwy could be a help in some situations, like when we ride through a large city.
Leaving Jutiapa we hit the same road work we passed last night. We had more than 50 cars, trucks and buses in front of us waiting for red light to pass the one lane section. But riding a bike is a huge advantage in that situation. We squeezed ourselves passed all the vehicles to the front where all the small local bikes were crowding up.
As always we draw a lot of attention.
This meant that when we got a green light, we were among the first to take off. So we took off full throttle towards the border thinking of Elisabeth & Walther in the back of the long line of cars.
On the way we stopped at a cemetery to see the Dia De Antes decoration in this area. Very different from what we had seen in Mexico and very colorful. And old Senor showed me around. He lost his wife 2 ½ years ago and was visiting her grave. He told me that the graveyard for several towns in the area and that the graveyard was divided into sections for each town. You could see that there more recent the grave, the more decorations.
Arriving at the border, we werent quite sure where to check out the bikes. Borders are funny places. There are always a lot of people, truck drivers, local travelers, money changers, fixers. Most of them will point you in the right direction so you kind of figure it out. Lars stayed with the bikes and I went to the immigrations counter and asked for the temporary vehicle import office. The lady there pointed me to the office on the other side of the road. Easy! But then this slick guy with sticky hair approached me and said we needed stamps from another office further down the street. He seemed confident and it can be really hard to see if its an official or just a guy trying to make you pay him to do the work. But as always Lars is really cool and told me hes a fixer, dont listen to him.
So I went back to the office on the other side of the road. There was a long line of people at a counter packed with transit documents for trucks. I wasnt sure if I was at the right counter and didnt want to wait in the long line, if I was in the wrong place. But my approach was as always to just look and wait and smile and somehow things will work themselves out.
A guy at the end of the line knocked on the glass window to the attention from a lady in the office, who didn't appear to be doing anything. He asked if she could handle my papers. She said sure, and started handling our papers putting me in front of the entire line, since our papers apparently needed the attention of all three employees in the office! Sometimes its not too bad to be a blond tourist who doesnt speak Spanish. Later I got the feeling that a female fixer in the line wasnt quite satisfied with this, but I just smiled to her and she finally warmed to me. I needed some extra copies of our temporary Import Permit papers and luckily there was a copy service shop just next door. The officials seemed to be very thorough and checked the VIN number on the bikes.
When we were done checking out the bikes, I went back to the immigrations office to check ourselves out and get our passports stamped.
That was leaving Guatemala. Less than 1 hour not bad! While I had done the paperwork, Lars was watching the bikes and chatting with these guys. They were working as money changers and fixers and were really cool dudes.
Jose, Vinicio, Marvin fra El Salvador Gambio and fixers
Then we headed up the street to enter El Salvador. And to go through the entire drill all over again. Check-in the bikes and check ourselves in. The bike check-in was the most time consuming part. They had to see passports, drivers license, registration and export paper from Guatemala. And of course copies of it all. Then we had to fill out a form with details on us on and the bikes. Then the official double checked all document and checked the VIN-number on the bikes. When all papers were acknowledged, they were passed on to the ladies who type it all in to their system. That took a while since the ladies were typing all the papers for the truck drivers and we were in a line. But we spent the waiting time hanging out, talking to a few people, eating some cookies, writing a few postcards, talking to some dogs and just chilling. Finally the papers were ready and we could proceed to the El Salvador immigration line.
There were only a few cars ahead of us, so no long wait there. They entered out passport details in their system without any questions.
Then we could go ahead to the final stop: the police check. They checked the import documents once again and double check with the VIN-number on the bike. These guys were thorough!
Its funny that no one checked our bags for weapons or drugs or anything. They asked where we are going, but that was it really. At all offices they were nice and polite and serious. Overall it was a very pleasant experience that took us 2 ½ hour in total. Lars changed our last Guatemalan Quetzals changed to US dollars, which is the currency in El Salvador.
When we first entered El Salvador it seemed to be poorer than what we had seen in Guatemala. The road was extremely damaged with large potholes and people were living in small sheds. However the cars seemed to be in much better shape and as we turned off onto Hwy 1 we entered the perfect wide 4 lane Hwy. From then on and all the way to La Libertad on the coast, we were able to go 60 miles an hour, something we havent done for a long time.
It also meant that we were able to reach our destination at 3 pm. On the way were stopped once by a police patrol who asked us for our papers on the bikes. One of them was very interested in our trip and we stayed and chatted for a while.
La Libertad is the main fishing port south of San Salvador. We stopped for a cold drink and watched the local washing their laundry in the river.
Then we continued north along the coast in our search for a pace to spend the night. We stopped and asked for rates a few places and were outraged to hear that several places would charge us $50 for a room. Finally in La Tonco we found a nice little family run Hotel La Pupa. Nice and spacy room with a fan, private bathroom and a hammock on the porch and free coffee for $20. Now thats more like it!
Senora Pupa and daughter.
A British bloke Tim at our hotel recommended a little place to eat and while lightning lights up the palm trees and heavy rain falls we enjoyed burritos and tacos for $2 each! We could totally get used to this!
Tim from the UK
In La Tonco we also meet David, a traveler from Washington whos been on the road for 3 years. He is a kite board instructor and carries a kite board and 3 kites on his V-Strom 1000!
On Thursday the 17th we headed of along the coast towards the Honduran border. We intended to stay in a hotel close to the border and cross on Friday. But first Lars headed down to a moto repair shop in La Libertad to have his chain changed. As we've seen before, the shop consisted of one part that dealt with refrigerators and aircondition equipment and the other part with motorcycles. Pedro and Roberto who were in charge of the repair shop, instantly started on the KLR. When the old chain went of, one of the guys in the refrigerator part asked if he could have it. When I said yes, he got so excited that he threw a round of juice to everyone. Within less than an hour, the bike got a new chain and rear sprocket. Labour cost, $15 :-)
We enjoyed the ride along Hwy 2. People here seem to be very pro-American and they all think we are from the US. People wave at us or look at us with big eyes. Its funny really; we look at them and take pictures and they look amazed back at us. Whenever we stop we attract people especially those who speak English. They love to get the chance to talk English. They are all very interested in our journey and the size of our bikes. The bikes here are mostly 125 or 200 ccm and they are always surprised that our bikes are 650 with only 1 cylinder.
The road was really good and we enjoyed the ride, but we still had to stay super focused and be ready for the frequent stray dogs, horse carriages, donkeys, herds of cows or just people trying to sell their products. El Salvador is the most densely populated country in Central America and we feel it. The roads are important veins that cut through the country. The pick-up trucks are overloaded with people clinging on with one hand. Standing up in the front seems to be the best place.
Might not be holy cows but they still have right-of-way
The road serves many purposes. Drying your produce is one of them.
The buses in El Salvador are less aggressive and don't send out the black fumes are we saw in Guatemala.
Heavy traffic in El Transito.
In El Transito we headed East through the 2 volcanoes Usulutan and San Miguel towards city San Miguel. The road immediately changed from flat, smooth asphalt to a rough, potholed, washed out road. We had to stand up on our foot pegs to get a better overview and find the easiest way though the obstacles.
In San Jorge Lars clutch cable snapped. We stopped in front of a little street grill and tried to fix it without luck.
It was late afternoon, it was stinking hot and there was no mechanic in San Jorge or anything else for that matter, so we drove in third gear over the mountain to San Miguel city where we would have a chance to find spare parts. I drove in front of Lars trying to clear the way of dogs and cows, though I didnt always succeed. As we approached San Miguel the highway was packed with trucks and cars. This was not easy for Lars who couldnt use his clutch. We rode passed the line of cars on the inside through mud and ruts and pedestrians. It was hectic, we were sweating in the heat and when we got to the very first hotel we stopped and stayed there for the night. It was expensive but we were desperate to have some air conditioning and get a cold shower and clean white sheets.
The next morning Lars took a taxi to the local part shop "Auto Moto" to see if they were able to help out with the clutch problem. It only took the guys 2 min. to find a spare cable. Price, $2.
Auto Moto in San Miguel. The place to go for parts.
The dudes!
We a new clutch cable installed we headed for our 7th border crossing to Honduras.

Thanks for following out thread. I just checked out your website. Man you are an active guy! Sounds like a great plan for next year, I'm in!
Maybe we can stop by in Ängelholm before you leave and you can show us some of those sweet dirt roads in Sweden. Something we truly miss in Denmark.

Hi L & H! Been a while since we ran across each other at Moab Powersports. Looks like the trip is going great! Man I'm green with envy! The photos and blurbs that accompany them are just perfect. Keep up the good work.
Any plans yet on how you're going to cross the Darien? or are you just going to figure it out once you get to Panama City?

Hehehe I wondered about me having a visitor from Panama???
Now I know the answer to that!
I´m part of the community in Scania who loves gravelroads but I also take my XT 660 X SM out on he track once in a while altough I´m trading it for a XT 660 R now because of the lack of 17" frontwheel who is fitted for dirtroads.
I follow you now so we´ll keep in touch, when your back home we´re just a few hours away from each other! (ADV-speaking...)

Yes, it seems like light years ago. Sometimes I can't remember where we were 2 days ago. Central Americas Groundhog Day-like continuous border crossings makes you dissy after a while.
We tried to figure out how to cross The Darian before we got to Panama, but since there was no boats we ended up with the less adventurous flight for 902 $ a bike!!!!!. We actually just came back from the Garco airport where we dropped of the bikes and did the paperwork. The flight tomorrow was cancelled so I have to call them on Monday to hear when they will be taken to Bogota. Kinda sucks. Didn't wanna spend so many days here in Panama. However think our bodies and minds needs the break.
Are you still on the road?

Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
1 Attachment(s)
Kernel: 2.6.27
Driver: nvidia 177.82 (same with all 177.X series)
Card: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
Driver hangs for exactly 30 seconds in ioctl.
1) Launch linux, start gnome, press ctrl + alt + backspace, wait for X to restart. Driver will hang for 30 seconds in ioctl on X restart.
2) Launch linux, start suspend to disk, try to resume from disk. Nvidia driver will hang on start for 30 seconds in ioctl after resuming from disk.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Suspend works like a charm for me and was before :) Hibernate doesn't - it hangs (2x30 secs or 3x30 secs), the same applies to X restart (You either log out of DE or Ctrl + Alt + Bkspc).
I was hoping that hibernate will be fixed coz that's real slow for me and it beeps 2 times in between, I don't really care for log out, as I do that once during week or more, but I assume if X restart is fixed so will be hibernate...
Please nVidia, give us more background, why this is happening in the first place? As I understand this is related to different ACPI implementation of different laptop manufacturers... Is it so?
P.S. I had a chance to get the same laptop with red competitor's GPU in it for couple of tests, and it worked like a charm with suspend / hibernate and binary drivers ;) Somehow they got that ACPI working then.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Desktop is OK, the problem is with laptop only... I'll try other login managers and edit this post...
Edit: problem appears with xdm too (it's so bloody ugly :( ). Tried rmmod nvidia, that didin't help either...
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
I've got the same chipset (140M), and am experiencing the same issue. I'm not even using a display manager - starting the X server in any way results in a 30 second hang, then the nvidia logo and everything works fine. I've used older drivers in the past without this issue but have just re-installed my system so can't look up which version I was using before.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Please, specify Your distro too, blakeyez... Author seem to run the gentoo, the same as Big P, but results are vice versa... I do have this problem starting 17x series, if I rememeber correctly... 177 series gave me this sudden slowdown with IPP=2 too (w/o it it runs smooth all the week).
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
I'm using gentoo on thinkpad laptop.
Driver hangs on restart. It means that if I start X using startx, and kill it with ctrl + alt + backspace - it's all ok. But if I'll try to use startx second time, driver will hang for 30 seconds.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Fully able to reproduce it, reported it twice with bug report, chipset is also a 140m in a thinkpad.
Having exactly 30 seconds sounds like a timeout for me, and as it seems to happen mainly on notebooks, this could be ACPI (power state, display state, whatever) related.
Nvidia, please please fix this.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
It sounds like it is specific to your chipset so, since my gf4 440Go, 6600GT, 7600GT and 8800GTS all don't have this issue. Have you tried emailing the address at the top of your bug report rather than relying on the forums? Any time I have done that so far has resulted in them opening a ticket.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
Yes, in the meantime I did. Unfortunately this problem is still present in the new 180 series. (which is a little bit of a disappointment, I am still waiting for configurable powermizer, good XRandR support and OpenGL 3)
Let's hope they can reproduce it and / or get it fixed.
Re: Nvidia 177.82 30+ seconds hang
yes , My Thinkpad 61with Quadro NVS140M , i also encounter this problem . first start x ,it's everything runs Ok , but as you logout x ,and restart X, it will be hang 30 second ... ,
I try it at Opensuse 11.0 release and debian 5.0Rc....
Debian 5.0 with Kernel: 2.6.27 and Opensuse 11 release with Kernel 2.6.26
Driver: nvidia 177.82 (same with180.06 )
Card: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
btw , how can i use the older version Nvidia driver (173 series ... for example) to replace the current version installed my box??

Ban Ki-moon (Hangul: 반기문; Hanja: 潘基文; born 13 June 1944) is the eighth and current Secretary-General of the United Nations, after succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before going on to be Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. In the foreign ministry he established a reputation for modesty and competence .
Ban was the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. In February 2006, he began to campaign for the office of Secretary-General. Ban was initially considered to be a long shot for the office. As foreign minister of South Korea, however, he was able to travel to all of the countries that were members of the United Nations Security Council, a maneuver that turned him into the front runner.
On 11 October 2006, he was elected to be the eighth Secretary-General by the United Nations General Assembly and officially succeeded Annan on 1 January 2007. Ban has led several major reforms regarding peacekeeping and UN employment practices. Diplomatically, Ban has taken particularly strong views on Darfur, where he helped persuade Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to allow peacekeeping troops to enter Sudan; and on global warming, pressing the issue repeatedly with former U.S. President George W. Bush. Ban has received strong criticism from OIOS, the UN internal audit unit, stating that the secretariat, under Ban's leadership, is "drifting into irrelevance".

Thread: Clear sculpting material?
January 11th, 2007 #1
Clear sculpting material?
Im looking for liquid or gel that can be pored in a cylinder or used to mimic a pool of water and will dry clear as water, does such a thing exist?
The sculpture Im considering starting on is of a character submerged in a cylinder filled with clear liquid that can be viewed from a window in the side of the cylinder. I could just leave it empty and tell people that there is supposed to be a liquid within but that would not be as cool.
Alternatively, if I were to sculpt it watertight and use a real liquid such as water, what paint would I be best of using?DarkestHorizons.Com

Yup. They have clear casting resins.
They have what is called "Crystal Clear" at that site.

There are also less expensive versions that I have used and work great. The one that comes to mind is a product called easy water (I have seen it named other names) and can be found in many craft stores. Basicly its a slow drying epoxy that an object can be suspended in... it is usually used for fake flowers to make what else fake water!
Here is an example
One tip is to make sure that you pour the total amount you want other wise you get lap lines...These are very soft lines that will show in the right (or should I say bad ) light!
good luck

Cool stuff for sure, smooth-on products, dickblick.com, check our burmanfoam.com for other clear casting materials. Also, a vibrating stand helps bubble removal, and degassing using a vacuum (or co2 shot into the chamber over the pour) is excellent for getting rid of bubbles as well BTW.

Whoaa! You just might have the answer to something I'm currently researching. Cornell University has designed a Personal 3D Fabricator, which generally uses extrusion technology, that people can build to experiment with 3D fabrication.
I'm looking for materials that would be suitable. Here's the link to the Fab @ Home Project so you can see what it does and how it works.
I would assume that it requires something that will set up quickly so as not to collapse as layers are added. The extruders can be heated if required.
What do you think?

Modern wrestling is largely a young man's sport. The physical, emotional and family toll of international wrestling means a lot of athetes have a relatively short life span at their absolute peak- often in their early to mid 20's. Those who want to suceed internationally do well to follow this route, IMO.
Now, if you don't lose eligibility and can still get a scholarship after your Olympic run, then I say to go for the Olympics. As long as the option of free college will still be there, go get your gold medal and have the privilege of an entire world stopping to listen to our Nation's National Anthem because of your hard work. I can't really think of a better honor in sports.
why in 2012, why not go 2 years, take a redshirt for training, and an olympic redshirt. I truly hope he does well, but why not get some free school done, along with great training?

25 year old woman | Astoria, NY, USA | Seeking men 22-29 within 40 miles
Live life with no regrets, and make sure you have fun along the way.
I am an outgoing person who loves to explore the city and have some fun experiences along the way. I'm interested in meeting someone who wants to visit new places, and is not too shy to go out and have some adventures. I am really easy going, and want someone who is the same way. On a Friday night, I would much rather hang out with friends and watch a movie instead of go to a bar or club. We will go to the movies, walk around, and go to dinner for fun rather than party. There is a lot of laughter in my day. Traveling is major passion of mine and I look forward to seeing more of the world with someone special. I've been to Paris, London, Florence and Berlin with different groups from my college. I visit Los Angeles frequently since my mom moved there last year. Family is important to me and every year the gang meets in Maryland for a week's vacation.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing
I don't believe in astrology
I like Dogs
I have the cutest little cockapoo named Fluffy Cuddles. She is 14 years old and lives with my mom in California. Fluffy let me dress her in pink ruffles when I was a little girl.
I love to go to the movies, or just go out to dinner with friends in the city. We go to a lot of places around Times Square and Midtown.
Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, NY
I love to watch movies, especially foreign or smaller films. Also, I love music and spend a lot of time attending concerts. Trying new foods from around the world is one of my favorite things to do, and I will sample just about anything.
I love to go explore new places in the city. On the weekends, my friends and I walk randomly around the city.
I do not read often, but I love mysteries. I hate not knowing how something ends. During movies, if I know someone else has seen the movie before I will ask a billion questions to find out what happens in the end.

I got to handle a Zeiss Ikon last week at B&H. A beautiful, solid camera with an outstanding viewfinder. The only reason I didn't get it is because I shoot left-eyed and the meter/shutter speed indicator is on the left side out of view for me. Otherwise I'd have walked out with one of those and a Nokton.
Oddly enough, the cheaper (in price and feel) R2/3 has its metering on the bottom but I didn't like the feel of the body at all.

Chop, Salt, Pack, Wait: Four Simple Steps to Making the Best Sauerkraut on Earth
Posted By jmccharen On May 20, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Food & Drink,Health & Wellness | Comments Disabled
Making your own delicious, healthy, probiotic sauerkraut or kimchi is easy!
Four easy steps are all you need to turn fresh garden veggies into a long-lasting, tangy, pungent condiment perfect to serve alongside sausage or eggs.
Sandor Ellix Katz is the gregarious, mutton-chopped master of all things fermented, and his easygoing attitude will inspire you to experiment in your own kitchen. So go ahead, make friends with the microbes in your life.
All it takes is Chop, Salt, Pack, Wait!The following excerpt is from The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World [1] by Sandor Ellix Katz. It has been adapted for the web. The English language does not have its own word for fermented vegetables. It would not be inaccurate to describe fermented vegetables as "pickled," but pickling covers much ground beyond fermentation. Pickles are anything preserved by acidity. Most contemporary pickles are not fermented at all; instead they rely upon highly acidic vinegar (a product of fermentation), usually heated in order to sterilize vegetables, preserving them by destroying rather than cultivating microorganisms. "For pickles, fermentation was the primary means of preservation until the 1940s, when direct acidification and pasteurization of cucumber pickles was introduced," writes Fred Breidt of the USDA. My vegetable ferments are usually concoctions that do not fit any homogeneous traditional ideal of either German sauerkraut or Korean kimchi. But of course, everything I've learned about sauerkraut and kimchi reveal that neither of them constitutes a homogeneous tradition. They are highly varied, from regional specialties to family secrets. Nonetheless, certain techniques underlie both (and many other related) traditions, and my practice is a rather free-form application of these basic techniques rather than an attempt to reproduce any particular notion of authenticity. In a nutshell, the steps I typically follow when I ferment vegetables are:

Original Swimsuit #850
The 1961 Bubble Cut Barbie® dolls wore a black and white striped knit swimsuit with matching black open-toe shoes, optional white sunglasses, silver and pink wrist tag, and "pearl" earrings. They had short, tight bubble cut hair styles, red lips, and many had oily complexions.
The 1962 Bubble Cut dolls came with red jersey one piece swimsuits, matching red open toe heels, gold wrist tag on wrist. Their faces had more of a matte finish complexion.
The 1963-64 dolls shared the Midge/Barbie body, and smaller lips that were raised slightly. Lips shades were lighter and came in great retro colors! Barbie® doll´s body had the larger neck knob which gave her a fuller facial appearance.
The 1965 dolls included a side thatched rooting pattern known as a "Side-Part." Some were produced with identical face paint as the Color Magic Barbie® doll and are known to collectors as a Bubblecut Barbie® doll with a Color Magic Face. Some dolls sold in Europe came dressed in the gold and white Fashion Queen swimsuit.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

Stereo beyond Quadro for GNU/Linux
I have a Geforce FX 5500, and as the readme for the 100.14.09 GNU/Linux release says, stereo is only supported on Quadro. I was able to confirm this with the SDL library failing to set a fullscreen videomode when SDL_GL_STEREO is specified, and besides, glxinfo doesn't report anything about stereo even though Option "STEREO" "1" is in xorg.conf.
As others have mentioned if you do a search here, its a shame that this card/driver works under WinXP for stereo yet is restricted to Quadro on GNU/Linux. My question is, now that the drivers are being unified with the new version numbering is it out of the question for more support with stereo?
Perhaps also, driver details for this portion of the nvidia architecture could be released as free software, along with hardware specifications that cover the stereo aspect. Then the community could get to work on tests and verification to ensure that these aspects continue to work. I think if nvidia were to take the step away from propriety, doing it piecemeal and starting here might be the way to go.
Re: Stereo beyond Quadro for GNU/Linux
There are no current plans to provide stereo support for non-Quadro cards.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
On February 27, 2013, the Legal Affairs committee of the Finnish Parliament rejected a marriage equality bill on a 9-8 tally, thereby blocking it from consideration by the legislature as a whole. In response, marriage advocates launched a civic petition to force Parliament to consider the bill. On March 19, 2013, the first day on which citizens could sign the petition, more than 50,000 signatures were obtained, the number required to compel consideration by Parliament.
As the Finnish website YLE reports, "A drive to gather the 50,000 signatories required to take a gender-neutral marriage bill to parliament reached its target in just one day. The accumulation of the required support means that lawmakers must now consider a bill which was previously blocked at the committee stage."
Enthusiasm for the petition was so great that the civic proposal website crashed as a result of the overwhelming demand.
The petition is sponsored by the "I Do 2013" campaign, which hopes to gather 250,000 signatures.
Polls show that a majority of Finns support marriage equality, as do many Members of Parliament from the governing National Coalition Party, the Greens Party, and the Social Democratic Party.
Members of the "I Do 2013" campaign are cautiously optimistic that when the full Parliament considers the marriage equality bill, it will pass.
Finland is the only Nordic country that does not offer equal marriage rights. It has traditionally lagged behind its neighbors in extending equal rights to its glbtq citizens.
For example, Finland was the last of the Nordic countries to adopt a registered partnership act. A proposal for registered partnership legislation was first introduced in Finland in 1993, but did not pass. Revised, but equally unsuccessful, versions of the bill were next introduced in 1996 and 1999. (In contrast, Denmark officially recognized same-sex civil unions in 1989, and Norway and Sweden followed suit in 1993.)
On September 28, 2001, following heated debate and vehement opposition by conservative Christian groups, the Finnish Parliament finally passed the 1999 version of the Registered Partnership Act with a few minor revisions. The act took effect on March 8, 2002 and affords same-sex couples most of the rights and responsibilities of marriage, though not the right to adopt children.
In 2009, however, legislation was approved that allows joint adoption of the biological children of same-sex partners. Moreover, although adoption is not a right of registered partnerships, the Finnish Act on Child Custody allows custody of a child to persons other than biological parents, and Finnish courts have routinely granted joint custody of a child to same-sex couples.

'We may never know'
Deaths leave pain, questions
PETERSBURG, Ind. — The two-car caravan pulled out of Petersburg bright and early Tuesday. Amanda Lee was behind the wheel of the first car, followed closely by her brother, Michael.
Both vehicles were full of teenagers, all of them friends and music fans. They were headed to Noblesville, Ind., for a full day at the Vans Warped Tour, a rock concert series that features dozens of bands.
Amanda Lee frequently checked in her rearview mirror, making sure Michael and his crew of three passengers were behind her. As she approached Plainville on Indiana 57, she could no longer see them.
Figuring her brother was stuck in traffic, Amanda pulled over for a few minutes and waited. Then she dialed Michael's cell phone. No answer.
Worried, she turned around to look for Michael's car and came upon a lengthy traffic jam. She tracked down a firefighter and told him a family member might have been in a crash.
The firefighter said that there had, in fact, been an accident and directed Amanda and her traveling companions to Daviess County Community Hospital.
Tragic news
It was there that news of a horrific tragedy came into focus: Michael Lee, 16, and Broderick "Brody" Beard, 14, had been killed. John Hughes, 17, would be pronounced dead soon after at Evansville's Deaconess Hospital.
Jesse Houston, 17, was clinging to life and flown to a Louisville, Ky., hospital.
Authorities said the 1989 Buick driven by Lee crossed the centerline on Indiana 57, just south of Plainville. It collided head-on with a semitrailer going south.
The semi's driver couldn't avoid the Buick.
Investigators don't know why the car carrying four teenagers swerved into the semi's path.
"We may never know," Pike County Sheriff Todd Meadors said Wednesday.
The official crash report is still being compiled. Maj. Jeff Riker of the Daviess County Sheriff's Department, who responded to the scene, said two boys in the Buick, including Houston, were ejected. One was partially ejected, and the other was trapped inside.
"It was one of the worst (crashes) I've seen," Riker said.
The tragedy left Petersburg, population 2,511, in saddened disbelief.
School opens Wednesday at Pike Central High School. Hughes was to be a senior, Lee a junior and Beard a freshman. Houston is to start his junior year.
"I can't put it in words," 16-year-old Zach Wheatley said Wednesday. His eyes puffy, Wheatley was behind the counter at Petersburg's McDonald's restaurant, where he works with Houston.
'Coolest guy'
"He's pretty much the coolest guy I work with," Wheatley said of his friend, who was reported in stable condition Wednesday. "Everything is going to change around here."
Despite their different ages, the four boys who left Petersburg together on Tuesday morning were part of a close-knit group of friends.
Their common interests often involved music. Lee and Hughes were members of Pike Central's marching and concert bands. Beard was set to join the band program, too.
Lee and Hughes also dabbled in their own musical pursuits, friends said. Hughes played the guitar, Lee the bass.
Several grieving Pike Central students came to the school Tuesday night, where counselors were available to meet with them. More came Wednesday. Counselors will be at the school again from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. today.
Student registration for the upcoming school year went on Wednesday, uninterrupted. Assistant Principal Jeff Warner handled that process from a table in the school's foyer. But he, too, was grieving.
Although he didn't know Beard as well, Warner said the other boys involved in the crash "had great personalities, laughing all the time."
Hughes' father is Chris Hughes, the pastor of Petersburg Church of the Nazarene.
Hughes "always made everybody smile, him and Jesse," said Josh Pride, 16, who also works at the Petersburg McDonald's. "Mike liked to joke around a lot. He was all fun and games. They're kids you'll never forget."
Beard had recently joined the diving team at Pike Central Middle School and planned to continue the activity in high school. The diving team had become a positive outlet for Beard in recent months, said teammate Kaine Trinkle, a longtime friend.
"I'm going to continue diving for Brody," Trinkle, 15, said sadly while eating a McDonald's breakfast. "I'm going to go as far with it as I can."
Funeral arrangements for Beard, Hughes and Lee are being handled by Harris Funeral Home in Petersburg.
A memorial service at Pike County High School will occur on Wednesday morning, the first day of school.
"There is no good time to do this, but we just hope it will bring closure for some of our students," Pike County School Corp. Superintendent John Thomas said.

SACKVILLE, N.B. ŌĆō The town will hand over $300,000 for its share of the Regional Service Commission (RSC) 7ŌĆÖs annual budget for the coming year.
Town council authorized the allocations during its monthly meeting on Dec. 9, with approximately $186,000 to go towards local planning services, $110,000 for solid waste services, and $2,800 for cooperative and regional planning within the RSCŌĆÖs 2014 budget.
Regional Service Commissions were implemented earlier this year throughout the province to bring together the operation of some municipal services under one umbrella ŌĆō including planning, solid waste, and emergency measures.
Treasurer Michael Beal said the funds were previously provided directly to the local planning commission or the solid waste corporation in the form of annual grants from the town but with a new centralized system, this is a new process. He said the contribution is similar to what was paid last year in grants, with only a slight increase.

Diaz back after 15 months with win
Updated: September 27, 2009, 3:06 AM ETAssociated Press
CHICAGO -- Former lightweight champion David Diaz returned from a 15-month absence to earn a majority decision victory over Jesus Chavez on Saturday night.
The 33-year-old Diaz seemed to take control during the ninth and 10th rounds, likely sealing the victory. Judge Mike Fitzgerald scored the fight 95-95, but Mauro DiFiore and Scott Dexter gave Diaz the decision by scores of 97-93 and 96-94, respectively.

Thank you for taking the time to read this...
Thank you for taking the time to read this profile. I'm not sure if it is that much different than others that you will read but I do feel that I have something to offer to that special person searching for a meaningful relationship. I also know that I am excited about "possibilities" in all aspects of living life---maybe this is one of them. I've had a dedicated and passionate career in coaching and teaching for 30 years now. I've enjoyed the wonderful relationship with my 10 nephews and nieces and my brother and two sisters. I've had many opportunities to travel and meet people from many parts of the country while spending special time with close friends and cousins. Now I feel that I am ready for a special person to experience life's adventures and joys along with the trials and tribulations that it brings to all of us. My interests are extensive and far reaching and can allow me to be happy riding my bike up mountain passes in Colorado or sitting at home in front of a fire with a good book. I enjoy many sports but also can appreciate the theater or movies. I can get excited attending a Bruce Springsteen concert or a quiet hike in the woods. Being around a large group of people at a Penn State football game can be stimulating but so can a one-on-one conversation in a coffee shop with someone special. I can be happy walking on a sandy beach at the shore or cross country skiing in a Buffalo snowstorm. And as much as I enjoy all of these activities I can envision the unique and deeper joy of being able to share all of them with a companion. If you are someone who can identify with an active and passionate life style and is looking to share your interests and joys with someone else I hope you will find reason to contact me.

Creative Solutions in Healthcare Improves Patient Outcomes with VMware vCloud Air
Creative Solutions in Healthcare decided to migrate from its co-located physical environment to the cloud to save costs, improve application availability, and update its core infrastructure to comply with HIPAA requirements. The company turned to VMware to migrate quickly to a more robust infrastructure. Using VMware vCloud Air, they gained the technology and control to achieve HIPAA certification and improve application availability while reducing the IT budget by one-third. The company has been able to extend its capabilities to the cloud and implemented a sophisticated electronic health record (EHR) system, including electronic prescriptions and online physician orders, to improve staff agility and patient care.
"The vCloud Air team had the best onboarding process for any IT project that I've been involved with in the last 20 years. We haven't looked back."
"The infrastructure in a HIPAA-compliant environment needs to be secure with controls for change management and the right firewalls and technology to protect the perimeter. Before moving to vCloud Air, we had policies in place, but we didn't have the infrastructure to support them. On vCloud Air, we've deployed technical controls on our core infrastructure and anti-virus and other solutions in a holistic approach to security that allows us to comply with regulations and achieve HIPAA certification."
"We have better patient outcomes because of vCloud Air. Our use of the cloud translates directly to technology availability and better capabilities in the hands of our talented, compassionate staff."

Florida Hospital
Implement VMware Infrastructure 3.5 To Facilitate IT Management, Improve Application Performance And Availability, Enhance Disaster Recovery, And Reduce Server Hardware, Maintenance, And Energy Costs
"Anything with Cerner in the title is like throwing the ace of spades on the table. If anything goes wrong with these applications, people all over the organization start to yell and scream. Cerner software is part of the infrastructure that Florida Hospital spent 60 million dollars on, in order to provide a safer environment for our patients and to comply with rigorous HIPAA standards for ensuring the security and privacy of healthcare information. Our Cerner applications our hosted by Cerner, and the fact that they ESX servers speaks volumes about our faith in VMware."

Virtualization Cures Frederick Memorial Healthcare's Server Ills
"It used to take two to three weeks to procure a server, rack it, cable it, and get the operating system laid down. We can now deploy a server in about 30 minutes. That's just one of the ways that virtualization has been a big feather in the cap of the engineering department here at the hospital."
Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Frimley Park Hospital has virtualized all of its A&E department desktops using VMware View technology, creating a secure and easy to manage unified system, which has resulted in time savings and a drop in energy bills.
"We pride ourselves in providing our patients with the best possible care and so keeping abreast of the latest innovations and developments is vital to our success.

By providing Synapse PACS, Synapse RIS, data storage and archive as managed services, we're satisfying a need that many of our customers had. Plus, we've created opportunities to attract new customers who might otherwise not have considered our Synapse products."
Gangnam Severance Hospital
By moving to a VDI environment based on VMware View, GSH was able to comply with new data security requirements and improve mobile access to medical information, without requiring costly hardware upgrades.

When IT becomes a matter of life or death
"VMware is the only provider of virtualization solutions that meets our requirements. As the data center for a hospital, we depend on the absolute reliability of our systems. This must not be compromised in any way regardless of savings measures."
Hinduja Hospitals
Hinduja Hospital embraces VMware Zimbra to improve collaboration and support world-class patient care
"We evaluated different solutions in addition to Zimbra. Though all the products offered all the features, we found that Zimbra was more user friendly, and quite easy to maintain.
