How to deal with high QTC?
I need your help.
I have two 10 liter (0.35 cu ft) cabinets and two Peerless SLS 8" woofers and would like to make some low-end stereo support for my sealed Alpair 7 full-range speakers - crossed at ~300Hz. This is for music only in a 6x6x3 meter (19x19x9 ft) room. Power handling of the woofers is quite good and I got powerful amps, so LT is also a possibility. I'm going active and using a miniDSP for the crossover. The problem is that WinISD gives me a QTC of 1.1 with this driver in a 10 liter box (probably QTC will be a bit lower when filling, but still far from 0.707). So how should I go about this in the best way? I see three possibilities: 1) The EAS/ELF/Bagend approach where you utilize the high QTC and add EQ. I'm not sure how this will work (if it will work at all) with a 300Hz XO. 2) The aperiodic enclosure approach. I could add glass wool stuffed vents to the cabinets and in this way lower the Q. 3) A combination of 1 and 2. What are your thoughts on this? I've attached the driver specs and also a WinISD frequency response of the driver in a 10 liter box. Advice appreciated |

I knew you were going to suggest that, Dave
But does the aperiodic enclosure prevent me from boosting the low end? If going aperiodic could lower the QTC to 0.707 I would get an f3 of 48Hz, which is still not amazingly deep. The woofer's relatively high power handling and excursion tells me I could improve the low end by adding a LT. |

I'd be wary of using a LT. WinISD has the capability of adding one, but be sure to check the apparent amplifier load - this gives an indication of how much power they'll be taking right at the bottom end. Excursion gets scary, too.
That said, a Linkwitz Transform offers (I suspect) more flexibility to pick and choose Qtc & LF extension than an aperiodic design. Chris |

So you need a bigger box. My favorite solution to that problem:
Get two more of the same woofers, and mount each pair clamshelled (drivers facing each other) isobaric-style in a 10-liter box. That gives you a "Q" like a box twice the size, and a much shallower rolloff. Spend on drivers, save on wood? Then you can add EQ until the xmax limitation is reached, and it will handle (and need) more power. But that assumes you don't mind the sight of a magnet sticking out into the room.

Maximum SPL in the excursion region of a sealed driver only depends on cone area and excursion, not box size or response. If you curtial the response then you need more power to reach the excursion limits, if you EQ the response for deeper bass (an LT) this needs more power and overall SPL (due to the extended bass) limits will be lower. Aperiodic loading is not a good idea, it chucks away cone excursion by allowing vent output to cancel driver output, its not wanted for a sub, and no sub I'm aware of uses it for this reason. I can't see anything wrong with the LT approach, in moderation, LT's are all about good bass extension but at inevitably limited SPL levels. Limited SPL ? did somebody mention FR drivers ? rgds, sreten. Last edited by sreten; 9th December 2011 at 10:29 PM. |

Still, it's a pretty deep woofer. So deep that one may as well just make the box wider, and thus bigger. |

Anytime you have a run of wire, there's resistance. The "trick" (mathmatically calculated easily, actually) is to size the wire large enough so that the current draw of the compressor plus the resistance of the wire doesn't exceed the rating of the circuit that you're using. Exceed it and there's your fire hazard- or more likely just a tripped breaker- that is until that's either bypassed or in some other ingenious fashion made to bow to your needs. Might want to avoid having kids around, and try to avoid any oily, damp or wet conditions. A "Danger- HIGH VOLTAGE" warning sign would be good- but will not affect your being liable if there's a mishap. Liability/renters insurance may or may not help you if there's an accident, so you might want to put your worldly possessions in another name.

You do realize that a range plug and a dryer plug are different, and there is a reason for that. Range plugs are heavier construction because of more amps passing through the plug, dryers have less. The end of the 'extension' cord should at least have a range plug on it. If you are just using the oven part and nothing else, you could be alright.
If you intend to roll up and unroll the 10 ga, wire each time that you want to use it, that is a no-no! The wire that you are using is and will become to brittle and strands will break and resistance will increase, and you will blow the cable. If you want to roll and unroll cable use a multi strand cable MADE for that purpose. The cable that you have is made to remain in one position, afixed to a stud and left there. |
I take it your wifes making you move into the garage?
I made up an extension cord for my 220V MIG welder. The cords so short on the welder I'd have to drag everything I work on across the shop. Also run a small plasma cutter off the same plug in the wall. If I were you I'd leave the 30 amp. breaker rather than change to a 40 amp. because it would still protect the dryer and the compressor if that's rated for a 30. You might not be able to run all the elements on the range but that shouldn't matter. Better to blow the breaker with the oven and still have proper protection for the rest of the equipment. |
Well see my laundry room is in my apt.
We were forced to move from our house and I cant just shut down my powder coating business. I have alot of work to be done. That is why I ask. Yeah I wont even be using any of the top burners. In fact they are removed. I will just be using the oven. |
compressor wiring......
Hi,i ran a 10-3 wire from my circuit breaker box (main line) with a 30 amp circuit breaker,dedicated to the comp,i ran this line into a stove female plug,then i made an extension cord out of a welding cable (big,thick one) then to a plug on the compressor.. it works fine (14 years ) never overheated.(line)
Yeah, I did the same but I bought the 10-3 flex cable at Home Depot. Think the whole thing including male and female cost $60-70 Canadian.
So, Rjbrown, you do powder coating in a domestic oven? Any tips? |
Yeah I do powder coating in a regular oven. I took a double oven and cut the middle out and welded some new panels and a new door.
Im in the process of building a 4' x 4' x 6' oven as we speak though. Should be nice when Im done. |
rjbrown.......this is what I did to run a 240V line extension from the dryer room to the garage for a welder. The first pic is the female 240v receptical in the garage. The second pic shows where the line terminates in a junction box. In that box the 10-3 line is connected to a dryer cord which is draped over the top of the box. I simply remove the plug for the dryer (which is is also shown) from the 240v dedicated line and plug in the extension for the garage.
A word of caution.........this topic has been discussed at least twice on this forum and responses usually fall into two distinct categories. |

Clinical trials have helped Whitehall woman survive breast cancer
January 31, 2016 12:00 AMParticipating in clinical trials requires time, patience, resolve and homework, which can be a small price to pay for extending one's time on the planet.
Carrie Martin, 44, of Whitehall says as much. She was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer late in 2008, with metastases diagnosed in July 2010. Now doing well, she attributes her survival in large part to her participation in two University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute clinical trials to test two cancer drugs, bevacizumab (Avastin) and veliparib (ABT-888).
The Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation says triple negative breast cancer has a poor prognosis for the first five years but can go away for those surviving more than five years.
Her three children now 8, 12 and 16 inspired her to do whatever was necessary to survive, she said. She joined a Phase III clinical trial in 2009 to test Avastin, a drug designed to slow the growth of blood vessels that cancer cells need to progress.
"I was very excited about getting the drug," she said. "As young as I was, and as aggressive the cancer is, I said, 'bring it on.' "
She resumed the drug after undergoing a bilateral mastectomy and axillary dissection surgeries, with various rounds of chemotherapy. She said care from research staff was more than she would have received otherwise.
Learning her cancer had metastasized in July 2010, she said she was "extremely shocked."
"It's scary but when you are Stage IV, you are more open to trying things."
Soon after she joined a second clinical trial, a Phase I study to test ABT-888, a PARP inhibitor. That's a protein that cancer cells need to repair damage. Still experimental, ABT-888 is designed to make the cancer more vulnerable to chemotherapy and other treatments.
Now six years after initial diagnosis she said the fact she's now in good health is mindboggling. She advises patients to educate themselves about all aspects of the trial and its requirements before signing up.
"I have always marveled at people who don't go into studies," she said, acknowledging some gray area and the fact that it's an individual decision. "I know someone had to try all the chemotherapies that I benefited from. All these drugs have come before me, and I feel I'm now doing my part for myself and others."

USB Streamer - MultiChannel connectivity
Hi MiniDSP.
I'm considering in my plannings to connect multiple devices to the USBstreamer. Unfortunately it seems that the way the I2S header is made allows for connecting it to one device with multiple channels only. E.g. Buffallo III. I'm not sure if there are more devices out there!?!? If I would like to eg. connect 4 of your digital amps via I2S to the USB streamer, how would I do that? I guess it would require a logic board which splits the clock channels !?!? I'd be very happy if you could outline a feasable solution. Another option could be also to go for 4*I2S to 4*SPDIF-out - with another board. Is there an option to accomplish this on your USBstreamer.? If not. Would you be interested to built such on option? Thx. |
Not sure I understand your question when you say :" the I2S header is made allows for connecting it to one device with multiple channels". Can you clarify? The USBStreamer is an I2S master device. It would provide one set of clocks (MCLK/SCLK/LRCLK) to all I2S slave devices (i.e. DAC). So you could use multiple DAC just driven from a single USBStreamer. Please clarify if we're not understanding your question. DevTeam |
I think I can't just connect LRCLK,BCLK, MCLK in parallel. Basically you'd end up 4* LRCLK,BCLK,MCLK,DATA for 8 channels. |
As an example:
If I'd like to connect the USBstreamer two 3 of your miniAMPs. How would this be done? |
Ok, I see what you mean now. Sure you could indeed buffer your clocks as required in between the boards. Running a dedicated driver for each clock really comes handy when you have long lines, sometimes you can get away with it on a PCB, but maybe not the case with wired configuration. It all depends on your setup so no single answer "you must do this" for all. :-) Running a zero delay clock buffer (e.g. 1by4) could be a way to do it. Most of users of the USBstreamer would connect that board to their custom interface (e.g. multichannel DAC/AMP) so you'd do the buffering there.
DevTeam |
I do understand that most of the multichannel USB interfaces are made for the Buffalo board. That's not what I want. I'm talking about your products.
Once more. Can I directly connect 3 of your miniAmps to the USBstreamer if they sit by side without impacting the I2S signal quality? THX |
Your datasheet says that the TOSLINK I/O is good for 176.4k (24-bit?) input and 192k (24-bit?) output. I was under the impression that Toshiba stopped making their really fast TOSLINK transmitters and receivers with their current offerings going only to 96kHz sample rate. What devices do you use and where can they be purchased if one wanted to build a device to connect to USBStreamer via TOSLINK?
thanks |
Hey guys,
is there acknowledge for MINIDSP USBSTREAMER that can be used with CMP2/CPLAY and THUNEAU ALLOCATOR Zoran |
To all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you and missing these posts (many forum to attend to + emails). Our apologies and feel free to send us a bump if you don't hear from us.
@ jrenkin, For a simple 2 dac connectivity sharing the MCLK/SCLK/LRCLK, it won't be a problem. It's quite typical on a board to share the clock line. Keeping the signal integrity is what you should care about. Even if you were to have a buffer for each clock, if you're not careful about signal integrity and proper clock termination on your DAC board, that's where it "could" affect your jitter. Hoping this clarifies. @ Brian L, We use a 25Mbps Toslink TX/RX so we're indeed fine for 192kHz. It's a local OEM supplier so not something that you can buy off Digikey in single pieces, however it's quite common if you look online for 25Mbps toslink. Hoping this info helps. @ Zoka959, A duplicated post to something you asked already on our forum. In answer to your question, yes it's an ASIO compatible platform so no reason it wouldn't work with ASIO compatible software. DevTeam |

What I Do
IBEW keeps San Francisco's cable cars running.
Today the Senate once again failed to approve an extension of emergency unemployment insurance, 40 days after the benefit was allowed to lapse. The bill fell short by one Republican vote. Just one vote prevented 1.7 million Americans from receiving a desperately needed lifeline. On Monday I joined Sheri Minkoff, an unemployed worker and single mother from Pittsburgh, in urging the Senate to help the millions of workers who are struggling. Sheri, like so many others, worked for years before losing her job in an economy that isn't adding jobs nearly fast enough. Despite her experience, she has been unable to find work and has even been forced to dip into her son's savings to pay for essentials. No family should have to experience what Sheri has, especially when there are not enough jobs for those who want to work. We urge the House and the Senate to make this right for Sheri and so many others. And we will not stop fighting until it happens.

I'm trying to create a proc (SQL 2000) that takes a single input paramter from a front Cold Fusion app. The parameter should hold a comma delimited string that should look like this: ('00012201', 00055445', '33315511', ...(n)) where the string passed should include the single tick marks and commas. So essentially the proc definitiion would look like this: CREATE PROC getInfo @List varchar(8000) AS DECLARE @StringSQL nvarchar(4000) SET @StringSQL = ( 'SELECT <COLUMN_NAMES> FROM <TABLE_NAME WHERE <COLUMN_NAME IN (''' + @List + ''') AND<COLUMN_NAME <>''' + '1' + '''' ) EXECUTE sp_executesql @StringSQL Where the first <COLUMN_NAME> in the WHERE CLAUSE is varchar(50) and the second <COLUMN_NAME> is varchar(10) I'm having problems getting the app to pass the list correctly, or it throws and error saying it can't convert from a datatype to a datatype. I realize this is a little vague but I don't have experience with Cold Fusion. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
you can change this > COLUMN_NAME <>''' + '1' + '''' to this COLUMN_NAME <> '1' Do you have a list of numbers in the @List variable? if so, are they wrapped with quotes? it should be IN ('2','3','8','15') and not IN (2, 3, 8, 15) Bambola.
Thanks, and yes the list will come from user input at the front end and get passed to the proc. The expression should look like: IN ('2','3','8','15') after the data is passed. Mike
Try to print the call to the sproc and see if there is anything wrong there. Otherwise, instead of calling sp_executesql(sql), just print the string in the stored procedure and try to run it in QA or post it here. Bambola.
I believe I have the syntax correct my string when I print the @StringSQL looks like this: declare @List varchar(8000) Set @List = '005512''' + ',' + '''4455550' DECLARE @StringSQL nvarchar(4000) SET @StringSQL = ( 'SELECT <COLUMN_NAMES> FROM <TABLE_NAME> WHERE <COLUMN_NAME> IN (''' + @List + ''') AND <COLUMN_NAME> <> ''' + '1' + '''' ) Print @StringSQL note: you have to stick something in the @list otherwise its null and you can't conacatenate a string value with null so I have just replaced a real value with the param's name (@list). The Cold Fusion code that calls the proc and passes the params looks like this: <CFQUERY name="RESSET" datasource="Server02" dbtype="ODBC"> {call sp_ProcName( '#cookie.sd#','#cookie.ed#', ...(n))} </CFQUERY> Where (n) could be more '#cookie.sd#' Hope this helps some and thanks for the reply. Mike
It should be Set @List = '''005512''' + ',' + '''4455550''' What was the output of Print @StringSQL? > it throws and error saying it can't convert from a datatype to a datatype. Can you be more specific about the datatypes? Bambola.
I see what your saying but the number of values being returned might vary, how am I to know how many commas I must use (concatenate) in the string or is this something that the Cold Fusion coder should take care of? Thanks again, Mike
What you can do in this case is pass the string without the quotes, parse it in a function that will return a result set, and join it with the other table, or use IN. joechang has a nice procedure to split a string. You can find it here http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1057 Your procedure will look like this CREATE PROC getInfo @List varchar(8000) AS SET NOCOUNT ON IF ISNULL(@List, '') = '' RETURN DECLARE @len int SELECT @len = LEN(@list) SELECT COLUMN_NAMES FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE COLUMN_NAME IN (SELECT ITEM FROM dbo.split_string(@list, ',', @len)) OR SELECT COLUMN_NAMES FROM TABLE_NAME INNER JOIN dbo.split_string(@list, ',', @len) a ON TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME = a.ITEM This way you can avoid the sp_executesql and you don't have to worry about @list if empty. Bambola.
It's always simple once somebody shows you how. Some day I want to be as good as you guys [grin]. Many mamy thanks, Mike

Unfortunate Sexual exposure/ injection exposure
Hi to the wonderful people of this website. I want to narrate my story for information and advise.
I am an expat, while away to a third world country, i had a contact with a women with unknown status, and she stayed with me for two weeks, I was well educated for not taking such risks, but loneliness and isolation took all my instincts away, and we had unprotected sex multiple times. After she left, I was apprehensive of any STDs, I may have contracted. She was found to be sexualy promiscuous, but not a sex worker. The initial apprehensions of mine were for Herpes, so I kept checking for signs and symptoms, after immedialtely she left my sore throat which was already there became progressively bad and after 15 days of exposure, I had a brushing teeth incident in which my brush hit the underside of tongue, and i started bleeding, it could have been an isolated case, but the wound would take long time to heal. I started developing dry mouth, specialy during the night, when my tongue would just become like a sandpaper and glued to my top of mouth, and i had to frequently wake up and drink water, even after 4 months I still have this condition. One month after the exposure, I started having feeling of being ill, with fever, pharyngitus, Yellow secretion from nose, chills, and enhanced pain, even if something strike me mildly, like lifting a chair between my armpit and chest, would leave me with alot of pain. I started taking Augminton for the flue, after, 4 days of fever and chills my infection seem to travel to the lower resiratory tract, and I was coughing with green/yellow secretion, and fever still 100.4, so I switched to Levaquin 750 MG twice daily, that was excessive,and i mis took it twice daily instead of once only, immediatedly in an hour I was totaly disoriented, with being dizy, but the levaquin took care the infection and the fever, in 48 hours, but now with tremors in hands and feet, and arms too, with muscle twitching. Also within three days of the onset of the fever I had an enlarged neck gland, which is still somewhat palpable/visible after three months. I feared the worst, and after taking levaquin excessive dosage for 5 days, started to have fever in the evening for one or two hours, upto 99.5 degrees, and the pharyngitus was still there, so I started levaquin for 7 more days 500 mg once daily, which got me severely nauseated and lost appetite, again. Consequently I lost 20 pounds of my weight in 15-20 days. now i had started having very itchy scalp, with hives occuring randomly, which were very itchy, and I started noticing faint brownish/pinkish very small rash on the back of my trunk originating from upper arms, which also was somewhat itchy, I am still having that rash with hives after three months of symptoms.
I asked the women to get tested for HIV, after 10 weeks of exposure from her, and it was a fourth generation ECLIA test, with antibody and P24 antigen, she came out negative. After one more week I got her PCR RNA test, to which she was indeterminate, at first and the lab took 5 more days to re test from the same blood sample, she came out negative. After three months from the exposure, Both of us got tested with ECLIA, and were negative. Now I am still having Peripheral Neurapathy, with buzzing in hands and feet, and occasional muscle twitching, and rash, with enhanced pain awareness after any minor contact. Now I am on pristiq just to get rid of any mind problems, but the symptoms persist.
There was a second possible exposure, after the onset of fever and flue. The morning after I had chills and fever I had to attend to an office, where i felt nauseated and laid down for couple of minuites, at which time I needed to goto the toilet, the toilet was an Indian style one, where you had to squat, after 10 minuites, when i started to stand up, I had classic sign of vesovagal stimulation, burning ears, and virtigo, i managed to come out but passed out in the room. The people over there thought I had a heart attack, so they started doing a CPR on me for which they were not trained, and subsequently ending up with a fractured Rib. I regained consciousness, after 4 minuites, while they were taking me to a government hospital, in the back of a truck. The doctor asked the tech to get my blood sample, which I have no clue if he was using a new syringe or not, so that could be my second possible exposure, after one month of the initial sexual one.
Do you guys think my ligering symptoms are indicative of a prolong ARS, and my ECLIA test at three months after sexual exposure, and two months after the injection incident is sufficient and conclusive?
I have been reading the body for a long time, But I have still problems, persistent dry mouth, Rash and Hives, Tongue sensitvity, easy bruising. Please Help me out.

Kevin Calabrese
"The regulatory issue is the big thing in the mix. I think these companies are back on track."
"They don't want speculators hoping for a pop and because of this range, there probably won't be a pop. If there is one, it would be small and fleeting,"
"I wouldn't expect a split anytime soon. The founders have said they are not managing this company for Wall Street or on a short-term, quarter to quarter basis,"
"It looks like growth might be slowing down and that adds to fears of competitive pressures,"
"I expect the board to come out with a succession plan rather rapidly and possibly give us a date for when Eisner leaves."
"With the relationships Miramax has built up in the industry, the kind of scripts they can get, the actors who will work for them, [the loss would be] more of a reputation loss,"

Android is Finally "Enough", but I Still Miss My iPhone

The fact is, lack of consistent experience because Google doesn't own the experience, means they will likely never have a leg-up on the experience iOS gives users, considering Apple controls and owns the entire experience in their OS.

If you walk down the street in a city, you may see homeless people using iPhones costing $100-$200 upfront and $40-$50 per month. If you can discern the proper motivation, you can consistently get people to purchase the products and services you provide. Most consumers prefer products they feel are tailored directly to them. These days, it does not need to cost much more to offer customized products that come in the exact color, style and size consumers are searching for.

Product Description
If the door pockets in your Volvo are broken, we don't have to tell you how unsightly and irritating they can be. Repair and reinforce them with ipd covers at about half the price of original equipment. The flexible cover fits snugly into place much like our plastic dashboard covers. A silicone adhesive (included) holds the cover firm.
The pocket cover reinforces Volvo's original design which has a tendency to break when the door is opened with your foot or forced shut against oversized packages. It's a less expensive alternative to replacing the entire pocket and helps prevent future pocket breakage.
Cover fits on pockets that are broken or have missing pieces. However, If the attachment parts of the original pocket are missing, we advise installing a new pocket first. When properly installed, you can hardly tell the cover from the original.

After Hurricane Katrina, I started a new middle school called KIPP Central City, one of many charter schools that has opened in New Orleans. The entire KIPP environment (KIPP stands for the Knowledge is Power Program) focuses on getting students to and through college. When I first heard that goal it felt insane yet intriguing.
My journey continued at New Orleans' KIPP Renaissance High School, where I am a junior. Like my middle school, KIPP Renaissance consistently hired teachers who were white, young, and fresh out of college. Nearly half of the teachers had been trained by Teach For America. TFA arrived in New Orleans in 1990 and presently the program's participants or graduates work with at least one in five students in the city. TFA teachers' leadership, critical thinking, and well-planned lessons helped improve the education in New Orleans for many students after Hurricane Katrina. Their drive to educate every single child is refreshing and dignifying.
Ms. Miller, one of my English teachers at KIPP Renaissance, is the epitome of an awe-inspiring teacher who sparks a light in the children she teaches. A graduate of Teach For America, she insists on everyone being actively engaged in class by answering and asking questions. She also sees the best in everyone. Her words of wisdom and nurturing spirit made passing the standardized exam required at the end of the course much more realistic for me. She is more than a teacher, she is like our second mom. I have never had a relationship like that with a teacher.
Teach For America critics oppose the idea of having so many fresh, white teachers in the classroom. They argue that Teach For America's five-week summer training program is insufficient to prepare any new teacher, and is therefore unjust for public school students who should have nothing less than fully qualified and experienced teachers. However, in my view these "inexperienced" teachers manage to uphold a high standard, not only amongst themselves but to their students as well.
Student Voices:
New Orleans perspectives
This essay is part of a collaboration between The Hechinger Report and high school students at Bard's Early College in New Orleans. The teenagers wrote opinion pieces on whether all students should be encouraged to attend college, the value of alternative teacher preparation programs such as Teach For America, the importance of desegregation, or the best approach to school discipline.
Prior to Hurricane Katrina, I attended Holy Ghost Catholic School. It was strict on uniforms and discipline. However, many of my teachers at Holy Ghost seemed disinterested in not only teaching, but being at school. The majority of my teachers were middle-aged African Americans and a minority were nuns who taught religion. The notion of college was nowhere implanted in my head. The relationships with my teachers here were totally different than the ones I have at KIPP. Looking back, I think that the school was not doing enough to prepare us for advanced work. For instance, every year we had to color a picture of Saint Katharine Drexel. The students who colored the best portrait would be recognized over the intercom. I won all three years—winning was everything then. When I arrived at KIPP, I did not know that coloring pictures would not be crucial in receiving a high school diploma or college degree.
Nevertheless, Holy Ghost helped me understand the connection between schools and community. Some of my teachers there also helped me become more self-sufficient, both in and out of school. I developed a deep sense of integrity and commitment at Holy Ghost that the teachers at KIPP further nurtured.
Students in New Orleans are now prospering and receiving a more high quality education. Personally, I feel more fearless than ever when attacking challenges. The New Orleans education system is rising, and much of the credit should be given to these ambitious new teachers.
Brianisha Frith, 16, is a junior at KIPP Renaissance High School.

"You can remove a man from the slums buh its hard to remove the slums out of the man.."
"By improving the lives of slum dwellers, we are also combating malnutrition and diseases, many of which are directly linked to overcrowding and to the lack of clean water and improved sanitation. By the same token, slum improvement helps improve environmental sustainability and addresses gender inequality in the most efficient manner."

For our epic visit to Bryce Canyon, we set up camp in Tropic, Utah. Yes folks, it's another teensy town in the middle of nowhere. The food choices were particularly paltry. So late at night on a sunday, after driving around aimlessly, we just ended up down the street at Clarke's. We were absolutely starving. Freshly baked warm bread with whipped butter… yum!
Here's where things just get nuts. This is supposed to be a chef salad. Yes, a chef salad. But instead, what we got was a giant heap of chopped ham and some actual salad parts. It was beyond ridiculous. And it took S about 5 solid minutes to pick out all the ham. And it filled a big bowl. And it really pissed her off. I understand that some people want a bit of protein in their salads, but really, a salad is a salad for a reason, because someone wants a salad. If she wanted to order a plate of ham with a side of greens, that's what she would have ordered. Clarke's, you seriously need to rethink the contents of your chef salad. For the love of food, please reconsider the proportions.
I lucked out because I ordered the veggie burger, which was just fine. I also got a little side salad with my burger and that was fine too, because it was actually a salad and not a giant bowl of ham. Service was fine but we felt slightly out of place.

Guatemala is a country in Central America.
It is recommended to go to the exit of whatever town you're in, in the direction of your destination. It is preferable to wait by speed bumps (tumulos) and point towards your destination as thumbing is more likely to incite an enthusiastic thumbs up in return, not a ride.
Low-cost rides
Be aware that many of the small vans and pick-ups function as local buses/taxis. The word for bus in Guatemalan Spanish is camioneta which means "a small truck". Camioneta serves as a main transportation service for local (rural) population. When you hitchhike, they will usually stop for you, too − in that case strictly say "No" (you might need to repeat it a few times).
Many private car drivers that pick you up might also ask you to contribute to the fuel. It is also a good idea to ask "¿Es un ride, no eres taxi?" ("This is a ride, you aren't a taxi?") before you get in the car so that you don't get into a misunderstanding later on: if you don't negotiate a fare (free or otherwise) before you get in drivers often demand some kind of extortionate price once you want to get out − is it then too late for the "No" answer. Same is valid for local taxis and other kinds of transport. The good thing, though, is that fares are very low, almost always less than 2$, some hitchhikers chose to take one of the pick-ups or a bus and to pay this small amount. This is what locals do, anyway − and they often are very poor people, so it is quite normal that from you as a travelling foreigner some cash will be expected − such fees subsidize the cost of owning a vehicle for the drivers in this country. So basically, if you want to hitchhike in Guatemala, you can expect some combination of free and low cost rides.
It's also worth noting that the standard bus fare in Guatemala as of this writing (9/18/13) is Q10 per hour. You can use this to calculate a fair contribution.
Furthermore, if you see a truck that has a metal frame built into the back, it is probably operating as a bus and thus you will be charged.
Like in all of Central America, the dirty-hippy look is not appreciated at all! People here wash every day, wear clean clothes and change them as often as possible. Not doing so is seen as a sign of the utmost disrespect and bad education, and is not recommended if you hope to get anywhere hitch-hiking, however hard it might be to find a shower and some place to dry clothes every day!

Personal Experiences
I have been hitchhing as my primary means of inter-city/village transport for the last year in Guatemala. It's been a great experience so far; its the best way to take in the country. I've updated a bit of the info above drawing from my personal history. If you have any questions or are interested in reading more I wrote a full guide to hitchhiking in Guatemala and posted it on my website jasonridesabike's guide to hitchhiking in Guatemala - jasonridesabike
I hitched on two different occasions in Guatemala. The first time I made it through the tourist belt, to Semuc Champey at Lanquin. The second time through I hitched with a trucker who brought me to the Salvadoran border, letting me sleep in the bunk the whole 9 hour nighttime ride. Just watch out for mudslides. - Chael
