"I Love Marrakech!!"
Our initial impressions when we first arrived was not good as we had to wait 30 minutes for the keys. Furthermore, the guards did not speak English so we were unaware of what was going on and it seemed as though they weren't expecting our arrival. Once we got the keys, we saw the apartment for the first time and were very impressed with facilities. Also, the location of the apartment in Hivernage was perfect. It was walking distance to all the local shops (food stores, cafes/restaurants pharmacy, massage, liquor store) and was only a 5 minute taxi drive to all the major clubs. The apartment was in an exclusive area situated directly outside cafe lobo which is renowned as the best cafe in Marrakesh. The rooms were very clean and there was also a lot of essentials provided including a washing machine, big fridge and an iron. The en suite was amazing, the view outside the balcony was beautiful and the TV in bed was spot on. We had a slight problem with one of the guards on the first night which involved us bringing a friend back but this later got resolved. Overall, the guards were ok but their lack of English was the only problem. One other gripe was that the swimming pool stated was out of use meaning we had nowhere to relax in the sun and go for a swim. Lack of wifi was a slight problem but nothing major. Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment and would no doubt come back here if I were to visit Marrakesh again.
Thank you for staying with us and for the nice review, Marrakech is indeed a magical city. The guard had to confirm with me before giving you the keys to your apartment, since you didn't call me upon your arrival we didn't know if you were even coming or not, always make sure to get in touch with the owners prior to arrival by giving them your time of arrival in order to facilitate the check in process. Guards don't speak English (all over Morocco) thus the importance of getting in touch with me if you need anything. The pool in the residence is not operational until mid may beginning of June which is when the weather gets warm. Thank you for staying and would love to have you back!

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Richard RichardsAmending this one more time. There are a lot of posts on this thread, so let me summarize my problem. I was trying to recover my HP Laserjet 6MP now that OS 10.6 has done away with Appletalk. My focus was using the 6mp parallel port and a $20 Belkin USB-to-Parallel cable I purchased at Fry's.
I abandoned an earlier attempt to hook my HP Laserjet 6MP via the Belkin USB-to-Parallel cable to my USB hub system. As I stated earlier the printer would get recognized as a USB mounted 6MP, and properly added with the 6MP Gutenberg driver. The first attempt to print was successful, but all other print attempts would end up stalling. This existed either on my iMac with 10.6, or hooked directly to the USB port on my PowerbookG4 running 10.5. So Snow Leopard was not the problem.
As a last try I hooked the USB end of the Belkin USB-to-Parallel cable into an Airport Express that was on my system. Using my iMac with 10.6, I opened the Airport Utility but the Airport Express showed no USB printer attached. I made a minor change to this Airport Express's config, and restarted it. When it came back on line - the Airport Express recognized there was a HP Laserjet 6MP attached.
Went to System Preferences-Print&Fax, and was rewarded with recognition of a Bonjour HP Laserjet 6MP. Added this to my iMac with the auto detected 6MP-Gutenberg driver, and printing is now perfect under Snow Leopard with no hang-ups. Have added it also to a MacBook Pro with 10.6 and it works perfect as well.
Don't understand why it works via Bonjour, but not as a USB printer - but at least for now my trusty Laserjet 6MP is back in operation with Snow Leopard. For info I tried both an Airport Express "G" and "N", and both recognized the printer.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to William KucharskiI don't know if I'm just lucky, but I have a LaserJet 3055, which, according to the list provided by HP, should only support printing, and not scanning (and we really need our scanner!). i tried running the HP Setup Assistant, and it didn't list the printer in the USB list. I followed HP's workaround suggestions (which didn't work), and then i did the following, which now has me up and running:
1. ran HP uninstaller (both for HP software, and also HP EWS configuration)
2. downloaded the most recent driver on HP's site (version 8.2 (03/17/2008) 24 Mar 2008 for Mac OS 10.5)
3. restarted after installation, as prompted
4. ran HP setup, and now everything works!

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Ed McknewThe following solution for the HP LaserJet 2100M was posted by siu-85 on the HP user forum. It also works on my 2100TN:
1. Print out a configuration page by pressing the Go and Job Cancel buttons simultaneously.
2. From the configuration pages, get the printer IP address (it shows on page 1 under Printer Information, or on page 2 under Protocol Information)
3. In Snow Leopard Print & Fax Utility (under System Preferences):
3. a. Select the IP icon at the top
3. b. Select the Add Printer plus sign "+"
3. c. Select Protocol "HP Jetdirect - Socket" from the drop-down menu
3. d. Enter the IP address into the Address field
4. Hit the Add button
Once the IP address was entered, the Add Printer utility found the printer and auto selected the 2100 series driver.
So far, the print function seems to be working just fine (although I haven't tried every possible configuration). However, HP needs to issue an updated driver so that others don't have to go through this work-around.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to davinianTo be clear, there is no need to install Rosetta for ANY of our 10.5 solutions to get them running on 10.6. All of the HP printers that were supported on 10.5 were supported with Universal print drivers. That is why we dropped some printers back with the transition to Intel that happened with 10.4.10. If we couldn't do an Intel driver we didn't consider it supported. As for the main problem you'll find at the moment with the 10.5 drivers, its with 64-bit Snow Leopard applications since the drivers are not 64-bit. So if you happened to install Rosetta that's fine to get PPC apps running but is not needed for our solution.
Just trying to help.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Json_Regarding the Deskjet 5655, that device made our list of unsupported devices. The Apple Website mentions the Photosmart C5500 series, but the Deskjet 5550/5551 are also unsupported. I don't know any driver that will work, other then installing the 10.5 driver. The problem is where do you get the 10.5 driver as we never posted it to HP.com. When I'm in the office on Monday I'll look into this problem and get back to. Sorry I couldn't be more help over the weekend.
Just trying to help.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Andrew Chantrill1Andrew,
Regarding the LaserJet 1015 and the Airport Express, I've seen several different problems reported here ranging from simple to hard to fix. I'll give you my thoughts from simple to hard:
1) Restart your Express. Believe it or not this seems to fix most issues after the upgrade.
2) Make sure your Express is running the latest Firmware. I have heard several issues caused by this.
3) Delete and re-install the HP software (fully described elsewhere). If you are seeing it connected via USB, but not the AE its possible you still have the 10.5 drivers, and not the 10.6 drivers provided for your device installed.
If none of these fix the problem please post back any additional details you have and we'll see what we can do.
Just trying to help.
HP Mac Architect Aug 30, 2009 12:17 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Richard RichardsRichard,
To difference between USB on an network and USB directly connected is really simple to explain. When connected to a local USB port the driver sees that as a local printer, when connected to the USB port on an Apple Airport base station, the print driver sees that as a network connection. As you said the 6MP doesn't have a native USB port, likewise the driver isn't written to look for it on the USB bus.
Just trying to help.
Andrew Chantrill1 Aug 30, 2009 12:19 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to HP Mac ArchitectMany thanks for your suggestions.
I have unplugged the Airport Express many times today while using USB so it's been restarted probably ten times. I believe it is running the latest update; I use Software Update and know the Airport Extreme updated only recently; I'll check tomorrow that the Express is up to date.
The real puzzle is that it's screwed wireless printing from my PowerBook, which is still on Leopard.
It could, of course, be a coincidence, but I've never had a problem before in four years with it, and to go AWOL within minutes of completing the SL update is implausible.
I'm really reluctant to delete all HP s/w and re-instal as I have to have a printer working this week and currently the HP2605 is working fine.
If you have any tests I can do that would narrow it down then please shout!
Thanks once again.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Richard RichardsThe HP JetDirect 300X external print server can also be used to network older HP (and probably other brands) of printers that have AppleTalk and parallel ports. The 300X attaches to the parallel port and converts the printer into an Ethernet printer. I just checked eBay and these are readily available for cheap.
I have been using the 300X for a couple of years with my HP 5MP (made in 1994) and it works great, and does NOT require AppleTalk, so it should still work with Snow Leopard. (My upgrade will be arriving in a day or two so I'll be installing it then.) I did upgrade the firmware on the 300X, and I had to set up a static IP address for the 300X/5MP via Telnet using the Terminal, as I never have been able to get DHCP (don't know why), but once it is set up it works fine.

Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Ed McknewI have a HP 4000N and a HP 4050N working fine under 10.6. Both were originally setup as IP print queues however, and NOT using AppleTalk.
Feek Aug 31, 2009 1:51 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Robert Young4Can you tell me which driver you've used for the HP 4000N? I have the same printer and the only drivers I'm being offered are a generic postscript driver or an LJ4 driver.
Under 10.5 I had an LJ4000 driver. This all seems very odd to me, that the driver existed before but now it doesn't.
CycloneJimmy Aug 31, 2009 2:02 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to Ed McknewEd, I have a C4480 PhotoSmart HP all in one, and I'm thinking the same thing you are, but bawed on what I'm reading from many others, there are many brnads of printers involved in this snafu, so be careful. My printer still works, but Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the Scan function. I wish I had waited, too. 10.5 was so seamless. It's like living a Windows nightmare.
jbm5186 Aug 31, 2009 2:32 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to William KucharskiI just clicked on the link you inserted from HP on the printers that should work with 10.6. Is this a new list? Because when I installed snow leopard on Saturday, my printer would not work - it's a office jet 5610 - the list says the 5600 series is supported, so my question is do you know how recent this list is?
thanks so much!
maggiecda Aug 31, 2009 3:16 PM
Re: None of our HP printers work woth 10.6 in response to jbm5186Apparently a lot of models made the list but are not really supported. Andrew let us know that over the weekend. I thought HP would have released the drivers that made the list by now....but No such luck.

ACA enrollment ends with 151,000 Tennesseans signed up
Some 8 million people, including 151,352 Tennesseans, have enrolled in insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, the government said Thursday.
That's just shy of half of the 305,628 Tennesseans the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services determined are eligible to enroll — 169,740 of them with financial assistance.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius noted a "surge" that "doubled" national enrollment between March 1 and the March 31 deadline to enroll for this year. Texas, Florida and Georgia had especially big increases, she said. Tennessee saw more than 91,000 enroll between Feb. 1 and March 31.
As in the U.S. overall, females made up slightly more than half of Tennessee enrollees, 55 percent. All but 20 percent of Tennesseans who enrolled were eligible for financial assistance to pay for their insurance plans. Most enrollees — 72 percent — opted for the midlevel "silver" coverage, with 18 percent getting a more basic "bronze" plan, and 6 percent and 3 percent, respectively, buying "gold" and "platinum" plans. One percent of Tennesseans chose catastrophic coverage available to certain people.
An additional 53,665 Tennesseans who went through the enrollment process were found to be eligible for TennCare and enrolled in that instead.
HHS and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services define enrollees as those who have signed up for a plan, not those who have paid their first premium. Sebelius estimated at least 80 percent have paid.
The government said 28 percent of Tennessee enrollees are in the 18-to-34 age group — the same percentage as nationally. That age group made up 31 percent of Americans who enrolled in March; more than half of young adults waited until the last month to choose a plan.
That "last month" includes an extension through April 15 given to those who had started the enrollment process before April 1 but were unable to complete it because of problems with the healthcare.gov website, which crashed at the end of the March, or other circumstances. Those who are eligible but didn't sign up will now have to wait until the 2015 open enrollment period begins in October.
Tennessee's ACA marketplace is fully run by HHS, and Gov. Bill Haslam has so far declined to expand Medicaid, which some estimates say would cover up to 400,000 Tennesseans who currently fall into a "gap" — they don't qualify for TennCare but make too little money for a marketplace plan, and don't qualify for subsidies. Haslam must make a decision by Jan. 1 if Tennessee is to qualify for the first $300 million in Medicaid money for 2015.
"We're hopeful that the states that have decided not to expand Medicaid will come on board, so we can cover millions more," Sebelius said.

Our Facebook follower and friend Travis Oliver kindly shared his family's pictures of the Imperial Bald Mountain Park Bluegrass Festival from April, 1975. The festival was operated on his family's land in Hiawassee, Georgia and had quite the line up: Bill Monroe, The Osborne Brothers, The Stanley Brothers, and Jimmy Martin. The Hiawassee Cloggers also made an appearance.
With Oliver's permission, we shared the pictures on IBMA's Facebook page [2] for Throwback Thursday, and needless to say, it was wildly popular.
We are looking for pictures and the stories that go with them to share each Thursday for Throwback Thursday. If you ever needed an excuse to get nostalgic and go through your old festival and concert photos, this is it!

Trends in the Imprisonment of Women in Canada
Gartner, Rosemary, Webster, Cheryl Marie, Doob, Anthony N., Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Increasing punitiveness is seen as a defining feature of late-modern liberal democracies by scholars who cite the growth in prison populations in the United States, England and Wales, the Netherlands, and New Zealand as evidence of this expansion in state punishment (see, e.g., Pratt 2007; Roberts, Stalans, Indemaur, and Hough 2003). However, detailed case studies of imprisonment in other countries demonstrate that this growth is much less general than is often claimed. As Tonry (2007: 1) notes, in his introduction to a volume featuring such studies, "Imprisonment rates have not risen substantially everywhere in the last 15 years." For example, Finland, Japan, Germany, Belgium, France, and Canada have experienced neither sustained nor dramatic escalations in their prison populations.
Indeed, in Canada, the imprisonment rate at both the federal and provincial levels has been relatively stable over the past 45 years (Doob and Webster 2006; Webster and Doob 2007) (see Figure 1). However, as Webster and Doob (2007: 312-313) note, their conclusion that "imprisonment rates have not changed dramatically since 1960" reflects the pattern for all offenders. Because males account for about 95% of Canada's prison population, (2) the trends shown in Figure 1 are driven largely by changes in the male prison population and, therefore, may tell us little about whether or how the female prison population has changed over time.
Many would argue that the stability described by these overall numbers masks a different and disturbing pattern for females. For example, Kim Pate, the executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies recently stated to a Parliamentary Committee that "[w]omen are the fastest growing prison population [in Canada]" (Canada, House of Commons 2007; see also Balfour 2006a; Elizabeth Fry Society 2008). Boritch (2008: 406) agrees that "Canada has seen a significant increase in the punishment and incarceration of women over the past few decades," an increase that, according to Robert, Frignon, and Belzile (2007: 177), mirrors the growth "in many other western countries." While some see a different pattern--for example, Kruttschnitt and Gartner (2003: 16) conclude that "female imprisonment in Canada in the 1990s [did] not follow the upward trend observed in the United States and in England and Wales"--this appears to be a minority view. This paper is an effort to adjudicate between these competing claims by providing a detailed description of the scope of women's imprisonment in Canada since the early 1980s. Our goal is to determine whether the imprisonment of women in Canada has, as many argue, increased in scale, even as the overall imprisonment rate has not.
We begin by considering possible reasons for the view that women's imprisonment has increased in Canada. We then describe the different ways in which imprisonment trends can be measured and argue that the common practice of measuring trends in women's imprisonment relative to men's imprisonment can lead to misleading conclusions. In the analyses that follow, we present a variety of data on women's imprisonment to determine whether there has been an increase in the scale of women's imprisonment in Canada, as some have claimed. We begin by examining, separately, trends in the sentencing of women to federal and provincial imprisonment. Here, we see some evidence of growth in women's imprisonment in federal institutions. However, those sent to federal institutions account for only about 2.9% of all sentenced women admitted to custody in Canada. We then analyse combined data on the sentencing of women to federal and provincial imprisonment, because our aim is to provide a picture of the total population of women in penal confinement in Canada, regardless of where and for what reasons they are in custody. In combining the federal and provincial data, we also follow the practice used by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics to calculate Canada's total imprisonment rate and to describe adult correctional services in Canada (see, e. …

many Thanks,

Does anyone else have a problem getting Gov. Scott Walker and Rep. Reid Ribble to give straight answers to simple questions? Their "answers" are standard form letters that mean nothing.
I wrote to Walker and asked why could not a health insurance exchange be allowed so that Wisconsin residents could buy insurance from anywhere in America?
I get my Medicare Supplement insurance from a Florida company through an exchange.
The governor sent a form letter. I returned his letter and asked him to answer my question. He sent the same form letter as his reply.
I asked Ribble if he would be willing to transfer federal budget dollars from the military to health care since we already spend as much as the next 16 countries combined on the military. His answer was a form letter.
I returned his letter and requested a reply to my question. He did not bother to reply.
Do I have to be a big contributor to get an answer? I am especially disappointed with Rep. Ribble since I am not aware that he has held any public listening forums for the voters in his district. It makes me wonder - just who do they answer to?

Playing With: Gayborhood
Basic Trope: A town's gay district.
Back to Gayborhood
- Straight: Within Troperville, there is a street called Yaoi Street, which has gay bars, trendy stores, and nice houses and apartments where the town's GLBT residents live.
- Exaggerated:
- The entire city is like this, or is viewed as such compared to other cities in the state/province/country.
- You can easily pick the neighborhood out from space, it's the street that looks like a rainbow.
- Downplayed: The city has a very modest gay bar on the corner.
- Justified: Gays and lesbians felt they needed a place where they could feel safe and connected to one another In a World dominated by the infamous Heteronormative Crusaders.
- Inverted: Within Yaoiville, there is a street called Het Street, where heterosexuals live.
- Subverted: Yaoi Street doesn't have much in the way of nightlife, trendy boutiques, etc.
- Double Subverted: But it does have a lot of gay and lesbian characters living on it, and they all know where to find those things.
- Parodied:
- Yaoi Street is a place of Depravity, where Het Is Ew. Straight characters who go there will almost invariably become the victims of Black Comedy Rape.
- All the guys that live there are Camp Gay, and all the girls are Butch Lesbians.
- Zig Zagged: The city doesn't have a single gay neighborhood, but several small strips of them here and there around town.
- Averted: The gay-oriented businesses in Troperville are scattered throughout the city, as opposed to a central district. The GLBT residents are okay with this, since Troperville is tolerant enough that they don't feel the need to live in a "gay ghetto."
- Enforced: We need a place to put our Cast Full of Gay...
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Alex and Bob plan on moving to or visiting Troperville, and look up where the gayborhood is.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: To their disappointment, there isn't one, or at least not a very large or remarkable one.
- Discussed: "Wait, my neighbor is gay too? And his neighbor? How... fabulous!"
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: There are GLBT residents outside of Yaoi Street, and they don't like the place because of the image of GLBT people it projects to the rest of Troperville.
- Reconstructed: The residents of Yaoi Street are far more diverse and well-rounded as GLBT people than the stereotypes suggest. Eventually, the rest of the city learn to tolerate the neighborhood, and even grow to like it, as it is populated by genuinely nice people who just happen to be gay.
- Played For Laughs: Bob cracks a joke about how "They pack so much fudge into the brownies at that bakery on Yaoi Street!"
- Played For Drama: A Heteronormative Crusader of the particularly Knight Templar variety gets an ad-hoc army together and declares war on Yaoi Street and its residents.

It's true that the ocean is awesome, but reaching it can be a trek for many travelers. Even for those who live close to the beach, there comes a point in the summer when you get sick of sand getting stuck between your toes. That's why we've compiled some of our favorite spots for freshwater fun. These beautiful lakes and rivers are an active traveler's dream, offering activities such as canoeing, kayaking, fishing, nearby hiking, and more.
And these trip options are suited to a range of tastes, not just sand lover. Whether you prefer picnicking on Tahoe's shores or cave tubing in Belize, fresh water has something to offer.
-- Kelsey Blodget, Oyster.com
The Selinda Spillway in Botswana is a river channel beginning in Botswana's Ovakango Delta region, the largest inland delta in the world -- and one of the most wildlife-rich areas anywhere. It's a popular destination for adventure travelers hoping to catch a glimpse of hippos, giraffes, lions, and zebra, elephants, and other exotic animals. Guided canoe trips are offered along the Selinda Spillway May to October. Oyster's Trip Pick: Selinda Canoe Trail, Botswana
When most people think of Switzerland, they think of the Alps -- but Switzerland's many freshwater lakes and rivers make it a premier summer destination, as well. Lake Geneva is one of the biggest and best-known lakes in Europe, formed by a former glacier into a half moon shape; at one end of the crescent is the capital city of Geneva, and at the other end is Chateau de Chillon, a medieval castle that is one of Switzerland's must-see sights. In Geneva, the Jet D'Eau fountain -- one of the city's landmarks -- shoots lake water 450 feet into the air, and numerous sailboats can be seen dotting the waters. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: Hotel President Wilson, Geneva
On the lush, beautiful San Juan Islands, an archipelago off of Seattle, visitors don't have to choose between the ocean and the lake -- both are readily available. Beaver ponds dot the islands, and Moran State Park on Orcas Island is home to several beautiful mountain lakes that are popular fishing spots. On San Juan Island, three spring water lakes can be found at Lakedale Resort at Three Lakes, an 82-acre property between Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: Lakedale Resort at Three Lakes, San Juan Island
Although Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1980, summer is its busiest season. The town of Lake Placid is located on the shores of Mirror Lake (pictured), and Lake Placid itself is a few miles away; both of these Adirondack lakes are popular spots for swimming and boating. The nearby St. Regis Wilderness Canoe Area is one of the best canoeing and kayaking spots in the U.S. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: High Peaks Resort, Lake Placid
Macal River begins in the Cayo District, an inland jungle region in Belize, and flows into the Belize River. Guests at resorts along the river can canoe to the town of San Ignacio. Parts of the river flow into the region's limestone caves, where ancient Mayan rituals took place, and cave tubing is a popular tourist activity. Wildlife spotting along the river is excellent: There are howler monkeys, jaguars, toucans, and more. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Belize
This scenic river in Washington is most famous for its 268-foot falls. (The 90s TV show "Twin Peaks" helped popularize this spot.) The trails down to the water are under construction until March 2013, , but visitors can still view the falls from the observation deck. Sections of the river are popular for whitewater rafting and kayaking (er, not the section right before the waterfall.) Salish Lodge, one of the most romantic luxury properties in the Pacific Northwest, was built at the top of the falls in 1919. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: Salish Lodge, Snoqualmie Valley
This mountainous region has a number of clear mountain lakes with sandy beaches that are popular in the summertime, including Alta Lake, Lost Lake, and Alpha Lake. Nita Lake (pictured), a smaller lake nestled in between Alpha Lake (to the south) and Alta Lake (to the north) has one of the region's best luxury lodges resting on its shores. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: Nita Lake Lodge, Whistler
Lake Tahoe is one of the few ski destinations the world that is just as popular (if not more popular) in the summertime. The lake itself is the second deepest in the U.S. (which makes for some chilly swimming conditions) and is set against a backdrop of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. It's popular with boaters of all types, and there are both rocky and sandy beaches. The hiking in this region is some of the best anywhere. Also on offer: concerts, casinos (on the South Shore in Nevada), beautiful sunsets, fishing, picnicking, and crayfish catching. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: Franciscan Lakeside Lodge Lake Tahoe
The second largest lake in Guatemala is a 40-minute drive from Tikal National Park, the country's most popular tourist destination, where the famous ruins of a Mayan city can be found. (Its many Mayan temples, hidden away in the jungle, are some of the most impressive in Central American in Mexico.) Numerous tourists flock from Belize to see the temples, but you can also stay on Lake Peten Itza right in Guatemala; rich wildlife, including jaguars, crocodiles, and spider monkeys, can be spotted in this region, and the lake itself is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing. One of Francis Ford Coppola's luxury resorts, La Lancha, can be found on its shores. Oyster's Pick for Where to Stay: La Lancha, Guatemala
