VMware ESXi
Management Overview
Management of VMware ESXi is done via APIs. This allows for an "agent-less" approach to hardware monitoring and system management. VMware also provides remote command lines, such as the
vSphere Command Line Interface (vCLI) and PowerCLI, to provide command and scripting capabilities in a more controlled manner. These remote command line sets include a variety of commands for configuration, diagnostics and troubleshooting. For low-level diagnostics and the initial configuration, menu-driven and command line interfaces are available on the local console of the server.
Patching and updating of vSphere hosts running ESXi allows flexibility and control. During the patching process, only the specific modules being updated are changed, letting the administrator preserve any previous updates to other components. Whether installed on disk or embedded flash memory, ESXi employs a "dual-image" approach where both the updated image as well as the previous image are both present. When a patch is installed, the new image is copied to the host and the boot loader modified to use the new image. If there is a problem with the update, or if the administrator wishes to revert to the prior image, the host is simply rebooted again, at which time the administrator can interrupt the boot process by simultaneously holding the "shift" and "R" key to instruct the host to use the image that was in place prior to the update.
Various deployment methods are supported. ESXi Installer, scripted installations and network based installation using PXE.
These scripts run locally on the vSphere host and can perform various tasks such as configuring the host's virtual networking and joining it to VMware vCenter Server.
vSphere ESXi supports installing to a local hard disk, FC, iSCSI, or FCoE LUN, USB/SD as well as network boot via PXE. Refer to the vSphere Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for supported storage adapters that have been qualified for ESXi.
Hardware Monitoring (including SNMP)
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an open standard that defines a framework for agent-less, standards-based monitoring of hardware resources for vSphere hosts running the ESXi architecture. This framework consists of a CIM object manager, often called a CIM broker, and a set of CIM providers.
CIM providers are used as the mechanism to provide management access to device drivers and underlying hardware. Hardware vendors, including server manufacturers and specific hardware device vendors, can write providers to provide monitoring and management of their particular devices. VMware also writes providers that implement monitoring of server hardware storage infrastructure, and virtualization-specific resources. These providers run inside the vSphere host and hence are designed to be extremely lightweight and focused on specific management tasks. The CIM broker takes information from all CIM providers and presents it to the outside world via standard APIs, such as WS-MAN and CIM-XML. Any software tool that understands one of these APIs, such as HP SIM or Dell OpenManage, can read this information and hence monitor the hardware of the vSphere host.
One consumer of the CIM information is VMware vCenter Server. Through the vSphere Client or the Web Client, you can view the hardware status of any vSphere host in your environment, thus providing a single view of the physical and virtual health of your systems. You can also set vCenter Server alarms to be triggered on certain hardware events, such as temperature or power failure and warning states.
vSphere also exposes hardware status information via SNMP for other management tools that rely upon that standard. SNMP Traps are available from both the vSphere host and vCenter Server.
Systems Management and Backup
Systems management and backup products integrate with vSphere via the vSphere APIs. The API-based partner integration model significantly reduces management overhead by eliminating the need to install and manage agents in the COS.
VMware has worked extensively with our ecosystem to transition all partner products to the API-based integration model of the ESXi hypervisor. As a result, the majority of systems management and backup vendors in the VMware ecosystem support ESXi today.
Logging is important for both troubleshooting and compliance. vSphere exposes logs from all system components using industry-standard syslog format, with the ability to send logs to a central logging server. Persistent logging onto a file on a local datastore accessible to the vSphere host is done for you automatically if a suitable datastore is available.
Keeping the vSphere host in synch with an accurate time source is very important for ensuring log accuracy and is required for compliance. It is also important if you are using the host to maintain accurate time on the guest virtual machines. vSphere hosts have built-in NTP capabilities for synchronizing with NTP timeservers.
User Authentication
Although day-to-day operations are done via vCenter Server, there are instances when you need to work with the vSphere host directly, such as configuration backup and log file access. To control access to the host, you can configure the vSphere hosts to join an Active Directory domain, and any user trying to access the host will automatically be authenticated against the centralized user directory. You can also have local users defined and managed on a host-by-host basis and configured using the vSphere Client, vCLI or PowerCLI. This second method can be used either in place of, or in addition to, the Active Directory integration.
You can also create local roles, similar to vCenter roles, which define what the user is authorized to do on the host. For instance, a user can be granted read-only access, which only allows them to view host information, or they can be granted Administrator access, which allows them to both view and modify host configuration. If the host is integrated with Active Directory, local roles can also be granted to AD users and groups.
The only user defined by default on the system is the root user. The initial root password is typically set interactively via the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) or as a part of an automated installation. It can be changed afterwards using the vSphere Client, vCLI or PowerCLI.
With vSphere, users can be assigned administrative privileges where they will automatically get full shell access. With full shell access, privileged admin users no longer need to "su" to root in order to run privileged commands.
With vSphere, all host activity, from both the Shell and the DCUI, are now logged under the account of the logged in user. This ensures user accountability, making it easy to monitor and audit activity on the host.
Direct Console User Interface (DCUI)
The DCUI is the menu-driven interface available at the console of the physical server on which ESXi is installed or embedded. Its main purpose is to perform initial configuration of the host (IP address, hostname, root password) and diagnostics.
The DCUI has several diagnostic menu items that allow administrators to:
- Restart all management agents, including,
- hostd
- vpxa
- Reset configuration settings, such as,
- Fix a misconfigured vSphere Distributed Switch
- Reset all configurations to factory defaults
- Enable the ESXi Shell for troubleshooting, including,
- Local access (on the console of the host)
- Remote access (ssh-based)
vSphere Command Line Interface
The vCLI has numerous commands for troubleshooting, including:
- esxcli
- vmkfstools
- vmware-cmd
- resxtop
ESXi Shell
The ESXi Shell is a local console for advanced technical support. In addition to being available on the local console of a host, it can also be accessed remotely through SSH. Access to the ESXi Shell is controlled in the following ways:
- Both local and remote ESXi Shell access can be enabled and disabled separately in both the DCUI as well as vCenter Server.
- ESXi Shell may be used by any authorized user, not just root. Users become authorized when they are granted the Administrator role on a host (including through AD membership in a privileged group).
- All commands issued in ESXi Shell are logged, allowing for a full audit trail. If a syslog server is configured, then this audit trail is automatically included in the remote logging.
- A timeout can be configured for ESXi Shell (both local and remote), so that after being enabled, it will automatically be disabled after the configured time.

Sandy: Creates North-East Havoc
Posted by Native NYker in hurricane sandy, tropical storm, weather advisory, west side highway on October 27, 2012
Although its the part of daily life never mentioned in weather advisories, we are happy to point a finger to the conflict created between an expected storm the magnitude of Ms. Sandy and having to head out and work for The Man.
Not a pretty combination. And they are saying projected SNOW along with 70 mph winds! Lord have mercy…
Unlike working for yourself, having to head out and report in is one of those Debbie Downers of being the 99%.
It never seems that the coverage equates to the media hyped hysteria. But given that a few inches of rain creates flooding the likes of roadside pools you can swim in alongside the West Side Highway this will assuredly be unpleasant. Say nothing of the old ass trees toppling over on anxious motorist who can't weather driving in inclement weather.
And still one must head your ass out to clock in.
We hope y'all have ample resources as you ready to batten down the hatches. And stay indoors as much as you can.

ATHENS, Ga., and LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (Nov. 7, 2013) – The ETSU tennis teams will head south to wrap up their fall campaigns this weekend as the men's team travels to Athens, Ga., to take part in the UGA Fall Scramble, while the women's squad heads to Lakewood Ranch, Fla., for the Dick Vitale Intercollegiate Clay Court Classic.
Both tournaments will begin Friday, Nov. 8 and conclude Sunday, Nov. 10.
Last weekend, the men's team competed in the Winthrop Invitational, with sophomore Sebastian Yllera (Cinco Saltos, Argentina) advancing to the finals of the Division 1 singles flight.
Each member of the men's team advanced past the first round of the tournament.
Playing in the Dick Vitale Classic will be the first action for the women's team since Ana Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) and Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) took part in the ITA Ohio Valley Regionals Oct. 22.

Everyday Eddie Still Hanging Around
By and large, I've never been one to criticize a player for sticking around a sport for too long (I was fascinated by Michael Jordan on the Wizards and, let's face it, Brett Favre this season), as I feel that is a choice that is dictated both by the player and the league he plays in, but I sincerely hope that "Everyday" Eddie Guardado doesn't embarass himself in the attempt. It was just announced that he has signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals.
Over the past few seasons, it has become clear to me that Eddie just doesn't have it anymore. He was great with the Twins as a middle reliever, had a run of luck (and great defense behind him) as a closer, but since then has been average bordering on washed up.
I hope that Eddie G. proves me wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

Sehr schöne Wohnung, alles sauber und angenehm. Es hat uns sehr gefallen und wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Wenn wir das nächste Mal in dieser Region Ferien machen, wird diese Wohnung die erste Wahl sein.
Wir waren sehr begeistert! (Unbedingt aber Schneeketten nicht vergessen im Winter!) Tolle Lage und eine wahnsinns Aussicht auf den Berg! Das Apartment war sehr sauber, groß, gemütlich und schön. Die Vermieterin super nett und hilfsbereit. Gerne kommen wir wieder :)
Prima verblijf, netjes, heerlijke douche. Aardige eigenaar.
We enjoyed our stay in Christian's apartment in La Tejita near Montana Roja and El Médano. The apartment is well equipped with all your basic needs covered however it is not corresponding to the actual apartment description mentioned on the Interhome homepage. The stove wasn't working and we complained about that. The same afternoon Christian came and changed it. Swift service, problem solved and he is a very friendly and nice guy with good English skills. But as we have had this problem we had scrutinized our contract and found that several things were not as expected thus we thought we had been placed in the wrong apartment in the complex. He explained that he only had this place, as it was peoples private homes rented out, so a replacement was not an option but Interhome had written false information about the apartment. To the list of things mentioned that wasn't there: Flat screen TV (only a normal one), 4 hotplate stove with oven (only 2 hotplates and no oven but that got changed to a new 3 hotplate stove still with no oven), electric coffee machine, iron and hairdryer. We didn't care about the other things missing except maybe the hairdryer and the oven but the stove was most important to us. Hopefully the owner will get the description corrected. The terrace is facing north and the view is uninteresting but having said that the location is absolutely great if you are an independent traveler who is looking for peace and quiet. In the evening there is nothing to do but to read books. You are living with local people not other tourist. In the complex next to you you'll find a bar with a convenience store and wifi. Also the bus to Los Christianos passes by on the main road. You are right next to a big and beautiful beach with a local beach bar open during the day. You can walk to Montana Roja and El Médano 3 km away through the dunes and hiking passages (bring a light for when it is dark). Mind the slippery surface of rubble on the mountain and no you cannot go all the way around it. When you get to El Médano you'll find an unspoiled little town mostly dominated by surfers, locals and Spanish tourists. On the beach promenade you'll find cafés and restaurants with a sea view and no traffic. I can recommend renting a car with Autos Bello located right across from Hotel Medano. We got a really great service there with pick up where we lived and drop off at the Airport Hotel we moved to the last day. Nice functional Citroen C3. Return it as you receive it. The tourist information in El Médano is also very service minded and recommended us some great trips to take with the time given. A sudden storm snowed in Teide and they were also helpful calling up traffic information confirming the roads were closed so we didn't waste time trying to get there. Instead we went to see the Pyramids in Güimar, ate lunch in Candelaria and went shopping in La Laguna. Next trip we went to Masca, Icod de los Vinos and Casa de los Balcones. All in all we had a great stay in Tenerife and it is not the last time we'll stay in La Tejita, El Médano or maybe even the campsites in Montana Roja. Thumbs up :)
Wir waren drei Tage in der Unterkunft in Grindelwald und können nur Gutes berichten. Das Apartment ist frisch renoviert, alles ist sauber und ordentlich. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Auch unsere Kontaktperson vor Ort war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einziges Manko: Das Apartment liegt nicht in Grindelwald selbst, sodass am Tag nur zwei Busse Richtung Skigebiet fahren (einer morgens, einer abends zurück). Allerdings ist sowohl die Bushaltestelle, als auch die Bahn in unmittelnbarer Nähe. Mit der Bahn kommt man alle 30min Richtung Grindelwald Ort und somit in die verschiedenen Skigebiete. Also letztlich alles problemlos!
Das Skigebiet ist ein Traum und unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen!
Weiteres Plus: Am Haus befindet sich ein kostenloser Parkplatz und ein abschließbarern Skikeller darf kostenlos mitgenutzt werden.
Verbessungswürdig: Die Wegbeschreibung war leider sehr dürftig. Dennoch haben wir das Interhome Büro recht schnell gefunden. Vor Ort wurden wir sehr, sehr freundlich empfangen. Alles wurde uns detalliert erklärt und wir haben uns auf Anhieb gut betreut gefühlt. Großes Lob und vielen Dank an Nathalie.
Sehr freundliche Besitzer die einem gerne aushelfen, wenn man einen Gefallen oder hilfe benötigt. Das Apartment befindet sich in einer großen Anlage mit anderen Bungalows. Das war das einzige wasanders war als erwartet. Wir sind von einer reinen privaten Unterkunft ausgegangen.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.

Destination Gran Canaria - Gran Canaria
Book here
Gran Canaria enjoys a spring climate all year round with average annual temperatures that fluctuate between 18 and 25 degrees centigrade. Indeed, the international scientific community recognises this as one of the cities with the best climate in the world.
People often mistakenly think that if the winter is so warm on the islands then the summer must be people often mistakenly think that if the winter is so warm on the islands then the summer must be overwhelming, but this couldn't be further from the truth. The summer in the Canary Islands is softened by the trade winds that refresh the archipelago serving it with pleasant mild summers with an average temperature of 24 ºC.

Trade winds that refresh the archipelago serving it with pleasant mild summers with a temperature.
The sea is equally as warm with temperatures fluctuating between 18 ºC in the winter months and 22 ºC during the rest of the year. This, together with the estimated annual rate of 2,700 hours of sunlight in Gran Canaria allow you to make the most of the day, whether you are on the beach, playing a sport, on a day trip or enjoying an outdoor activity.
Gran Canaria is blessed with a wealth of natural resources, the most notable of these being the numerous and exquisite beaches of the island. Most of these beaches have white sand and some are completely unique in the world. Almost 60 of the 236 kilometres of Gran Canaria´s coastline consist of beaches of various descriptions, ranging from the impressive Maspalomas beach, where you can find 250 hectares of sand dunes right next to the sea, to the concealed and unspoilt beach of Güigüi, as well as the lively beach in the capital, namely the Las Canteras beach.
The main beaches are located along the southern part of the island, between Tarajalillo and Mogán, which is the sunniest and driest part of the island. The mountains of the interior act as a barrier against the clouds that come from the North, with the result that the skies in the South remain clear practically all year round, which makes it possible to enjoy the sun and bathe in the sea in summer as well as winter.
Gran Canaria possesses many natural resources in addition to its beaches, which is why this is the perfect place for getting in touch with nature, there being a wide variety of possibilities and activities in which one can participate.
In Gran Canaria one can do anything, from hiking through the most beautiful nature areas to taking part in adventure sports, or merely contemplating the hundreds of indigenous species that are unique in the world. In Gran Canaria, anything is possible for those who want to satisfy their need to get in touch with Mother Nature.
Due to the geological formation of the interior of the island, the landscapes of the interior are very different from those of the coast, originating many and varied ecosystems on the island. Being of volcanic origin, the island's orography has a conical shape that is split in two by the ravines of Tirajana and Agaete representing the main line of division that separates the enormousrcontrasts of the North and the South. Numerous ravines gouge their way accross the centre of the island in the direction of descent. This feature, together with the complicated relief and the massif (known as Los Pechos) that runs from the north-west to the south-west, are the main architects of the great variety of climatic conditions that exist on this island and, therefore, the great variety of ecosystems to which the island is host. That runs from the north-west to the south-west, are the main architects of the great variety of climatic conditions that exist on this island and, therefore, the great variety of ecosystems to which the island is host.
The variety of sports that can be practiced in Gran Canaria is closely linked to the mildness of the island's climate. The absence of extreme temperature variations makes it possible to practice practically any type of outdoor sport during any time of the year.
- Trekking:
- The landscape and climate assets that have earned the nickname of "continent in miniature", make Gran Canaria a real paradise for nature lovers, especially for trekkers. This is undoubtedly the ideal way of discovering the natural and historic treasures hidden within the island's 32 protected natural areas, trekking the extensive network of trails.
- The island terrain is criss-crossed by an intricate network of foot paths ranging from easy forest paths and bridle paths to tracks and trails that are strictly for expert hikers.
- The size of the island and its rugged relief, have created short, but very steep routes. Depending on their layout, these trails can go from "coast to highlands" with very gentle slopes and almost in a straight line when they run along a gorge, or concentric or transversal, which tend to be more circuitous and steeper, as they cross these features of the land.
- Golf:
- When it comes to golf tourism, Gran Canaria has a distinct competitive advantage over other destinations in the world on account of the climate and the fact that it is possible to practise this sport 365 days of the year.
- The island played a pioneering role with regard to golf in Spain, as the first golf course in the country was built at Escaleritas in 1891.
- At present, there are six golf courses throughout Gran Canaria, although they are all situated within a maximum radius of 50 kilometres. Thus you can always try different courses within short distances. Four new golf courses are currently under construction. The golf courses have been designed by the most prestigious international golf course designers and they all boast exceptional features. There is no doubt why national and international tournaments are held throughout the year.
- The golf courses on Gran Canaria have another important competitive advantage, namely their price, which is well below the average in other areas. The 18-hole courses on the island charge a green fee of around Euros 50 during off-season (from May to September) and around Euros 70 during the rest of the year, which make them even more appealing when you take into account the quality of the facilities and installations they offer.
- Sea:
- Gran Canaria is a veritable paradise for lovers of the sea and of all the activities that are linked to the sea.
- The water temperature (which varies between 18ºC in winter and 22ºC during the rest of the year), the harbour infrastructure for yachting and the optimal sea and wind conditions make this island the ideal place for practicing sailing and other water sports all year round. In fact, water sports is the most important leisure activity on offer on the island.
- The 236 kilometres of coastline provide the best conditions for practicing every kind of water sports. Winds that are ideal for sailing, sea currents that attract large schools of fish to the proximity of the coast and the exquisite sea bottom are the natural conditions that have created one uninterrupted sporting season on Gran Canaria, while, in the rest of Europe, all activities related to the sea come to a complete standstill in winter.
- Deep Sea Fishing:
- The richness of the waters of Gran Canaria is evident in the great seafaring tradition of its people and the enormous love of fishing, in both the shallows and the deep sea. Within the various categories of fishing, the superb conditions for deep sea fishing in Gran Canaria´s waters have become known internationally as a result of the establishment of various records in our waters. These records have been ratified by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA). The large variety of species that are caught in the island´s waters is evident from the fact that these fishing records have covered many divergent fish species, such as the blue marlin, swordfish, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, Atlantic bonito, barracuda and albacore, among others.
- The possibilities for deep sea fishing in Gran Canaria have given rise to a flourishing sub-industry in tourism during recent years, with the result that the visitor will find all the facilities that he/she may require for the enjoyment of this wonderful sport. In the island´s marinas (mainly the ones that are situated in the southern part of the island), the visitor will find a large variety of boats on offer. These boats are manned by expert crews and are specially equipped for deep sea fishing.
- As with the other types of water sports, the island´s pleasant climate plays a very important role in the enjoyment of deep sea fishing and it is possible to practise this sport during all twelve months of the year, although the best time for catching barracudas and tuna is between the months of May and November. The best area for deep sea fishing, both in terms of the quantity of fish and the variety of species, lies between the Point at Maspalomas to the Point of "El Descojonado" (La Aldea).
- Scuba-diving:
- Gran Canaria offers a never-ending range of possibilities when it comes to underwater activities. Visitors to the island, which is of volcanic origin, are amazed by the biological and ecological richness of its seabed, as well as the beauty and variety of its underwater scenery.
- There are numerous interesting places for scuba diving, which are spread out along the entire length of the coast of Gran Canaria. Some of these places are situated in parts of the coast that are still completely pristine. Lovers of this sport will find numerous scuba diving schools and clubs on the island, where you can take courses in scuba diving throughout the year. It is also possible to take part in organised scuba dives without being necessary to supply your own equipment.There are also hyperbaric chambers on the island, which are situated in strategic positions in the North and South of the island.
Gran Canaria has given special thought to family visits, providing a varied range of complementary services for the little ones, including centres that are specially designed for the entertainment of children, where they can enjoy and get in touch with nature.
The island boasts numerous sheltered beaches, where it is safe to swim and where there is an infrastructure for children's games, which can entertain the little ones for many days. There are also many specific centres where the tastes of all age groups can be satisfied, such as water parks, theme parks and fairgrounds, games centres, internet entertainment centres and public parks that have facilities for children.
Gran Canaria is one big festival all year round. The excellent climate of the island makes it possible to hold festivals during any part of the year. During festival time, the plazas, streets and beaches provide the setting where the people of Gran Canaria and visitors alike give free reign to the more joyful and fun-loving sides of their natures. The rich history of the island is also evident in its popular festivals, some of which date back to the times of the native inhabitants, while others have more universal roots. Nevertheless, the festive nature of the Canarian people has given a unique flavour to these festivals, with a calendar of special events that sets the pace for the exciting rhythm of Gran Canaria.
Carnival is the biggest of the island's festivals, which incites the interest of all the inhabitants of Gran Canaria. Thousands of people start making preparations a whole year in advance and they do this with only one aim -to have fun.
There are no limits on the imaginations of the people who participate in this festival and any personage or thing can serve as a pretext for a masquerade or change of identity. Carnival in Gran Canaria is celebrated in the streets, with several hundred thousand people converging on the streets at the same moment, all in their variegated costumes and disguises, dancing to Latin strains and creating an atmosphere in which it is impossible not to be infected by the merriment, which is known as "mogollones".
Gran canaria is worldwide known for its excellent climate, its magnificent beaches and its astonishing landscape.
However in the inland it keeps some treasures yet undiscovered for the visitor and are related to their inhabitants, their culture and their way of life.
Culturally speaking, Gran Canaria is synonymous with the blending of cultures. This attribute of the island is the legacy of its long history as a port of call for travellers, having been a society that is open to everything that arrives to its shores from beyond the seas. The march of time through the islands has left behind an extremely valuable archaeological, artistic, architectural and ethnographic heritage, which bears witness to the cultural evolvement of our island community. This historic heritage, the legacy of the island's own identity, has been enriched and accompanied by multifarious manifestations of art and culture, which has endowed the island with certain unique traits that would be difficult to find in any other territory of such a limited extent.
Most of the monuments that can be seen in Gran Canaria date from after the period of conquest, although certain archaeological sites and areas relating to the early inhabitants of the islands have been successfully preserved (such as the painted caves named Cuevas Pintadas de Gáldar and the Cenobio or convent de Valerón).
In addition to the archaeological and artistic manifestations that date from the various early and contemporary moments in the history of this island, which are spread out across the entire length and breadth of the island, Gran Canaria also boasts a broad and varied calendar of cultural activities that take place throughout the year. Even the most discerning public will be delighted by the current cultural life of the islands, which includes concerts, international music and cinema festivals, exhibitions and conference cycles that feature speakers of international renown. One such cultural event that deserves special mention is the internationally famed Canary Islands Music Festival, which takes place at the start of each year, this being the only music festival in the whole of Europe that is held in winter. Practically all the main figures in the music world have participated in this festival, this being the arena for many a debut.
Among the cultural treasures, its gastronomy has been ellaborated along several centuries with excellent raw materials (meat, fish, fruits and vegetables) combined in original and tasty recipes.

Across the United States, some 95,000 people desperately wait for a new organ, and often a second chance at life. But every year fewer than half of those people will receive an organ, and many will die waiting. The overwhelming desperation and demand have given rise to a global black market in body parts, and National Geographic correspondent Lisa Ling investigates this illegal and growing practice.

As a child star with the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson displayed showbiz savvy well beyond his years. He was only 11 in 1970 when the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" hit Number One and sold more than two million copies. As a solo artist, Michael soared beyond the stardom he'd known with the Jacksons. The music on his records was sleek, polished dance-pop. Thriller became one of the biggest albums in pop history, earning him a record eight Grammys and more than 150 gold and platinum awards. Jackson's spectacular celebrity transformed him into the global icon of the 1980s. On March 3, 1983, Jackson performed "Billie Jean" at Motown's 25th anniversary celebration at the Los Angeles Civic Center, and he debuted his signature moonwalk dance. Later that year MTV began playing the song's video. It marked the first time the cable network had put a video by an African-American artist into heavy rotation. Michael Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1997 and as a solo artist in 2001.
The exhibit includes Michael Jackson's signature glove, worn during the performance of "Billie Jean" on his Dangerous tour, as well as the mask he wore for "Thriller" on the same tour and the jacket he wore in the video of the song.The exhibit includes numerous stage outfits worn by Jackson, including the ones he wore during performances of "Billie Jean", the video of "Bad", and a Jackson 5 outfit. Also included in the exhibit is one of Michael Jackson's 1984 Grammy Awards.

Hahaha who's this?
a person from the guild
Seems cool enough. Welcome aboard, yo.
Now that my presence is known... Any of you bros or hoes play Mugen?
He's joking ^
You're missing a few but I can't remember what they were.
Theres one for each letter of the alphabet hun.
uh okay.
I guess you noticed that you get logged off if you don't keep active.
Its some bull, but whatever.
Anywhooo... How about that Pokemon Hows it feel that Blaziken is now Uber tier in Black/White?
you might want to check the pokemon section for that or wait till kirby logs back in.
he's probably wrote something on that already.
Are you into shoddy battle?
Yeah, I used to be big into Smogon. Wouldn't mind playing it again and seeing how much has changed since Black/White.
no one talks about pokemon here.
there are a few pokemon playing people here. I'm thinking about getting back into it if I can find the time.
Hi and stuff. I'll post something eloquent later on or something.
I thought this guy was The Grinch 2 on Mugen for a second. Heh.
hell no. I really can't seem to get people from that forum to come over here. He's not been on much recently on the guild anyway.

If the International Boxing Hall of Fame had an integrity clause like the Heisman Trophy, there is a good chance some boxing writers would withhold votes for Mike Tyson much like some are for Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.
But Tyson's questionable "integrity" goes much deeper than a stolen laptop and cheating on a college exam.
Tyson, 44, was incarcerated for a rape conviction from 1992-95 and he famously bit a chunk out of Evandar Holyfield's ear during (actually he bit both ears) 1997, resulting in his boxing license being revoked and a $3 million fine. And there's overall Tyson's general weirdness out of the ring. Who in their right mind gets a tattoo on half of their face?
Despite the tragic decisions in Mike Tyson's life, it doesn't take away from the fact that he will always be remembered as one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time. And that's why I won't loose any sleep tonight about Mike Tyson's induction into the Hall of Fame ceremony next June.
According to research from AOL Fanhouse, Mike Tyson was the youngest boxer to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles at the same time and the only heavyweight to unify those titles individually before losing those titles to Buster Douglas in a massive 1990 upset. He finished with a 50-6-0-2 record, winning 44 of those fights by knockout.
The mission statement of the IBHOF states that its intent is to "honor and preserve boxing's rich heritage, chronicle the achievements of those who excelled and provide and educational experience for our many visitors.
These awards are not just for the athletes, but they are historic markers for the public and fans of boxing. We can't just wipe out the bad or questionable parts of history. You have to take the good, bad and yes, even, the ugly.
On a side note, who knew Sylvester Stallone would ever share the same space as Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard? Wasn't Rocky fictional? Long live Rocky Balboa, I guess.
Question to the sports fans, would you have voted Mike Tyson into the Hall of Fame questionable character and all?

For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein talks about bringing our legendary Giant Step club to Los Angeles! Were you on the west coast for one of these? Let us know what you remember!
This was the debut of Giant Step Los Angeles, which we held as a bi-monthly for a few months. We teamed up with Brass – the equivalent of Giant Step in Los Angeles or our LA kindred spirits, you could say. Brass was run by Orlando Aguillen, Daz, Blackurn, and Marques Wyatt.
When we came out, we brought with us Jazzy Nice, our emcee Jamal Ski, and Richard Worth on flute – all were part of the Giant Step crew. Camella Ehlke of Triple 5 Soul acted as our fashion muse and styled everyone at the time.
It was great, and the first time I really got to see the scene in Los Angeles. We saw how positively people were responding to the music out there and realized the opportunity to grow this on a national level.
The Los Angeles crowd was a little more laid back than NYC. Another thing I remember is that everything closed so early – the party ended at 2AM. For our club in NYC, 1:30AM is when everyone would arrive – we'd open the doors at 11PM, but it wasn't really until 1:30AM that the party would start. 1:30 to 3:30, 4AM – that was the real time to be at our party in NYC. But for this LA event, everything was pretty much winding down at 1:30AM. So, getting into the difference of the rhythm was interesting.
The overall vibe was great – great dancers, really wonderful people. I was very impressed.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Gardeners: Start Your Seeds! (page 2 of 3)
by Bruce Butterfield
4. Transplant Seedlings
When seedlings produce their first set of true leaves, it's time to transplant them into larger containers. Transplanting gives plants room to grow and improves air circulation. It also stimulates the growth of bushier feeder roots.
Fill the transplanting flat (or other larger container) with moistened growing medium. I recommend you use the same soilless mix used for germinating the seeds. Firm the mix to within 1/2 inch of the top of the container. I use six 2- by 2-inch plastic six-pack pots in each waterproof tray.
I make a planting hole for each seedling with my finger, then use a small pointed plant marker stake or wooden popsicle stick to lift seedlings. I hold each individual plant by its leaves rather than by the stem, using the stake to lift the roots as I gently pull the plant up.
Keep the rootball intact when setting the plant in its new spot. Most plants can be set slightly deeper than they were growing in the germination flat.
Firm the soil over and around the newly set plant so that the soil and roots are in close contact and there are no air pockets.
Set the transplants back under the lights unless they wilt or droop. Droopers go in a shady, cool spot for a day until they perk up.
5. Grow to Size
Check your transplants every day by feeling the soil surface. It should be moist but not soggy. Watering from the bottom directs the water to the root zone and prevents puddling on the soil surface, which could lead to damping-off. It's also less messy. I give the plants a drink of room temperature water every three or four days; more often as they get bigger.
Plants without enough light will be weak and leggy. As with the seedlings, I use four fluorescent lights above each flat and tape reflective mylar to the front and back sides of the fixtures to maximize the light directed to the plants. As the transplants grow, I increase the distance between the top of the plants and the bulbs to about 2 inches so that the light can spread more evenly over the flats.
I grow transplants at the same temperatures that the seedlings were grown: 60 to 70?F during the day, with temperatures 10 degrees lower at night. You can slow down fast-growing plants by lowering the temperature while keeping light levels high.
Transplants do best when the relative humidity is between 50 and 70 percent. Maintain humidity levels by misting plants with a sprayer, setting flats on top of trays filled with pebbles and water or covering your light setup with a plastic tent. Don't keep them too cooped up, though. I give transplants a little exercise to toughen them up by having a fan lightly blow on them. A fan can also help prevent green algae or mold from forming on top of the soil surface.
I give transplants a constant, lean diet every time I water them. Use one-quarter the recommended amount of fertilizer per gallon of water.

10 Years Later: The Salt Lake Games Remebered
It doesn't seem that long ago that Janica Kostelic was weighed down with medals, Picaboo Street announced her retirement, Sarah Hughes set the figure-skating world on its rear and Apollo Anton Ohno. But it was 10 years ago that world attention was focused on Salt Lake City and the 2002 Winter Olympics. Read More

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills' horrendous defense the last two games isn't the only problem.
The Ryan Fitzpatrick-led offense has been inconsistent, at best, and now features an injury-depleted line that is expected to be down some starters this weekend.
From bad to worse.
Indeed, when the Bills (2-3) face Arizona (4-1) on Sunday, they will be short-handed and searching for answers. Guard Chad Rinehart has a calf injury and did not practice Wednesday, and left tackle Cordy Glenn and guard Kraig Urbik are both recovering from right ankle injuries,
As it stands, Buffalo, which is training all week at Arizona State, is down to just six offensive lineman.

Do you know the history of the Popcicle… The Popsicle® brand is an American classic, with more than 30 creative variations of the original Popsicle® product. And believe it or not, it all started with an accident!
In 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch. It was a cold night, and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop. He called it the "Epsicle." It was a hit with his friends at school, and later with his own kids.
They constantly called for "Pop's 'sicle." So in 1923, Epperson changed the name and applied for a patent. A couple of years later, Epperson sold the rights to the brand name Popsicle® to the Joe Lowe Company in New York. The rest is history!
When I was a little girl I use to visit my great grandparents in the summer. On a regular basis great-grandmother and I would make popsicles. I would stand on the kitchen chair and "help" grama make orange juice. Truly she just used the frozen concentrate orange juice. Back then we didn't have fancy recipes such as Coconut Lime and Raspberry Frozen Popsicles.
We would make the juice and pour it into those old fashion ice-cube trays. For some of you young whipper snappers out there an ice-cube tray is a plastic or metal tray divided into cubes. It is designed to be filled with water, then placed in a freezer until the water freezes to ice. Plastic trays are flexible, so that the frozen cubes can be easily removed by flexing the tray. :)
She had one of those old fashion metal ones, an aluminum tray with a lever that raised the ice cubes, freeing them from the tray. We would pour in the OJ and place them in the freezer. When they were just about set we would pop toothpicks in the center of each cube and continue to let them freeze. These were always such a special treat for my girlfriend Bonita and me. We would sit on the front steps of the house, enjoying the shade as we devoured those yummy cold treats.
Here I am showing you the layer technique that I did. Starting from the right. Empty cups :) Second row: 1 Tbsp of raspberry. Third row: coconut lime cream. Forth row: A dollop more of raspberry. Fifth row: I used a toothpick to swirl it together. I used a mini muffin pan to hold all the cups in which made it a great way to carry all of them to the freezer. :)
These were one of the best things I have EVER tasted!!! Absolutely love these!!! :)

On the surface, it was largely the same batch of songs delivered a year ago by Willie Nelson and Family, but Tuesday night's appearance at the Gallivan Center was a more energized, focused show.
Unfortunately, one aspect it shared with 2010's Red Butte Garden show was that there were a handful of jarring moments, especially early on, from the 78-year-old country music icon. Nelson's discordant, awkward solo during the traditional opener of "Whiskey River," was alarming and highlighted the fact that for the second straight year, Nelson was the lone guitarist on stage, which continues to be an unexplained change from years gone by.
And despite Nelson's problems with the melody to "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," and the choppy transitions of the medley stringing "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Crazy," and "Night Life," it was generally too fun of a show to complain about.
And when a guy plays 35 songs (that's a dollar per song, before service fees, on the advance ticket by the way) and hits as many right notes as Nelson does along the way during a fast-paced 100-minute set, it's tough to quibble.
Arguably, the strongest moment of the night was Nelson's impassioned vocal delivery of "I Never Cared For You," from 1998's "Teatro," and the rave-up during "Bloody Mary Morning" off arguably Nelson's best album, "Phases and Stages." One of the few changes from the 2010 SLC setlist was Nelson's welcome take on the Billy Joe Shaver classic, "You Asked Me Too." Another newcomer to the songlist was Nelson's tongue-in-cheek, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die." The new gospel song was well-received by the crowd, many of whom had rolled up stuff of their to smoke during the course of the night.
Despite Nelson's prowess as a songwriter, some of the cover songs were among the highlights, "Jambalaya On The Bayou," by Hank Williams had the whole audience dancing as did Charlie Monroe's "Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms."
SLC was just one of more than 100 gigs Nelson and company will play this year. They're en route to Chico, Calif., and the question remains unanswered why at his age Nelson maintains this schedule, but one thing's for sure, the nearly 5,000 people on hand Tuesday were sure glad he keeps at it.
Here's the setlist from Tuesday night: Whiskey River Still Is Still Moving To Me Beer For My Horses Good Hearted Woman Funny How Time Slips Away> Crazy> Night Life Instrumental Me and Paul If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain City of New Orleans To All The Girls I've Loved Before Superman You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore Georgia On My Mind Jambalaya on the Bayou Hey Good Lookin' Move It On Over Healing Hands of Time Georgia on a Fast Train Always On My Mind Bloody Mary Morning Help Me Make It Through The Night On the Road Again Instrumental I Gotta Get Drunk You Asked Me Too Will The Circle Be Unbroken> I Saw The Light> I'll Fly Away I Never Cared For You Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms Roll Me Up and Smoke Me (When I Die)> I Saw The Light

Who here likes Vaporeon?
Ampharos is pretty boss
I don't love vaporeon I LOVE ALL THE EEVEELOUTIONS BABY!
Greymon is pretty cool as well
Also, Vaporeon is not that good. Though the original Green sprite pretty much had a mohowk, so I can't completely hate it.
Of all the Eeveelutions, I liked Umbreon and Vaporeon the most. Both are decent walls
I personally like Vaporeon and Sylveon the best, but that's just my opinion. I do also like Jolteon.
I like Espeon.
I have a soft spot for PINK Pokémon...
Espeon isn't pink. It's light purple/lavender.
Espeon is more of a lilac color to me, personally.
Since when do the people in this thread actually talk about Pokemon?
Espeon seems lavender to me.
Espeon is purple. Mew is pink.
To make it clear, if you PM me, I get an email. I do not use this site anymore.
If you PM me I will do my best to get back to you.
I like all the Eeveelutions in all honesty, though I'm pretty meh on Glaceon and Leafeon.
My faves are probs Vaporeon and Umbreon in terms of how they look.
I like Flareon and Vaporeon out of them all though I am fond of each of the Eeveelutions.
Do you like Fan-fiction? How about deciding on different choices? If you like both, come join this Face-Off where you get to decide on the outcomes for what I write!
I like Sylveon XD although doesn't everyone >.> least for naow
Art Shop ~ Tumblr ~ Personality Test ~ Photobucket ~ DeviantArt
pikachu defines adorable
I'm sorta back
While I'd always love to talk about anything pokemon, I will only be using the 6th gen Wifi section for a while out of efficiency in my life, unfortunately

Hill Intervals
Climbing hills strengthens key walking muscles in your legs and butt so it will be easier for you to pick up your pace on level ground. Take shorter steps, land on your heel, and maintain an upright posture when going uphill. On the downhill, slow down.
You shouldn't walk much further downhill than uphill. Aim to keep your front leg as straight as possible to avoid bobbing up and down as you walk downhill.
Endurance Walk
Duration, not speed, is the focus of this workout during the first week. In weeks 2 and 3, you speed up to a brisk pace (7 RPE) for 10 minutes. And in week 4, you'll increase the brisk bout to 15 minutes. You can do these brisk bouts at any point during the workout after you've warmed up.

|Klas sixth; Velvere 14th
EUGENE, Ore. - University of Idaho senior Jeremy Klas, a native of Moscow, Idaho, finished sixth in the pole vault at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon, while 400-meter hurdler Liga Velvere, another senior, captured 14th in her specialty.
Klas earns first-team All-American honors with his finish, while Velvere is a second-team selection.
"Klas was amazing today," Vandal Director of Track and Field Wayne Phipps said after Klas cleared 18 feet, 1/2 inch to break the previous Idaho record. "He knew it was important to clear on first attempts and he did exactly all that on all of his clearances.
"He worked so hard and improved so much over the course of the year."
Mississippi's Sam Kendricks won the event with a vault of 18-8 1/4.
Velvere, as she has throughout the championship series, drew the difficult outside lane.
"She got down early but she battled back really well in the last 100 meters," said Phipps after Velvere was timed in 59.28. "She was ranked 26th going into the first round of the NCAAs so to finish 14th and earn All-American status is an amazing accomplishment."
Stanford's Kori Carter won the race in 54.67.
Phipps said both competitors will be greatly missed.
"He is such a great kid - an awesome leader, awesome athlete and awesome person," Phipps said. "Liga has had an amazing career here at Idaho and it was great to see her cap it all with an All-American award."

With more than a few decades of life experience under my belt, I have met a variety of women in all phases of their own journey and for whatever reason have learned a wide range of their closet skeletons. Some are, of course, very open and willing to share. Some come as quite a surprise, almost bursting out of the woman's mouth and then immediately followed by perhaps regret or remorse for revealing such a private aspect of their life. I personally struggle with my own demons and have no time or place to judge, but it seems human nature to compare our flaws and faults with others, to kind of place them on a line and see where they fall compared to the extremes.
During one co-worker lunch hour, some women shared a few of their own secrets from stealing or shoplifting while an entirely different group of females confessed to hiding large purchases. It is during the more intimate one-on-one conversation that a woman may confess to a long time affair or an illegitimate child. I have known more than one woman to hide her own child from her family. A dozen years later, a new audience may comment, "Well, you were young," or, "You really didn't have any other choice." Makes having ice cream for dinner or telling a friend you are busy to avoid talking with them seem quite lame in comparison.
Listening to the frustrated mother who feels guilty for not being able to juggle it all with a smile, the fact that she bought something for the bake sale instead of baking, or her story of losing patience with her child and then yelling or crying may seem abusive or tame depending on the perspective of the listener, but to the woman experiencing the pain, it is a shameful secret. Another mom may envy the intelligence, social skill or athletic ability of another woman's child and these feelings then cause horrifying guilt. "Oh, that's not so bad," they may be told. Or, "Let it go. It's no big deal."
In a small town, a young driver made a life-changing mistake by driving the morning after a party and the end result was the loss of a young passenger's life. Years later, both the driver and the family of the deceased live in the same little village and seem destined to run into each other from time to time. Does the driver keep the secret from future relationships? Should it matter? What happens if everyone runs into each other?
And does the guilt of secrets diminish with time? Are the mistakes of youth forgiven simply because of lack of information, knowledge, or frame of reference and if so, what is the age limit for this excuse?
In fact, are secrets shared and revealed so the holder can in some way release some of the weight or is it to make the listener feel at ease with their own short coming? Is the teller looking for some form of comfort?
What about the news headlines for local citizens and celebrity scandal alike? Housewife madams, the single mom moonlighting as an exotic dancer, skimming from private companies and local communities, runaway brides and inappropriate teacher/student relationships are just a few stories that immediately come to mind. Are the readers rating how their own secrets rate in comparison? Does knowing a woman who has or is in the middle of overcoming drugs, alcohol or violence somehow make the story more relevant than when it is read or seen as a news byte? Is the desire to know more, craning our necks and blatantly rubbernecking one woman's secret story just as bad as the list of one's own guilty secrets?
Sharing secrets, shame and guilt – where does it all lead? What purpose does it serve us? Is it only about seeing where we fall? Is it about forgiveness? Is it about the now what, what are the next steps? Is it the so-what? Is it the lesson learned? Does size matter?

"Chocolate Covered", "The Original" chirps the words on the package. How can anyone challenge, much less say no, to that? I'm inexperienced to the whole jelly ring candy world, and these are no exception. I'd always see these, or variations on them, with the other Jewish and Kosher Parve candy and sort of feel intimidated for reasons I can't explain. Curiosity finally got to me and decided it was time to give them a try.
The ingredients list is promising. These rings are using real chocolate, so that's a plus. There's also agar-agar as well as raspberry flavoring listed, so at least now I know what to expect when I taste these. The package contains three rings all about the size of an Oreo cookie. They do smell chocolatey, but there's also a very strange artificial raspberry scent to them too. The tops are lightly rippled from the enrobing and are very cute to look at.
First bite was nice except for the flavor. Kinda gross. Lets start with the texture then, shall we? Well, the jelly is firm but not chewy. The chocolate clings to it well as I didn't get any flaking. The chew has a little give to it but it's otherwise soft and quite pleasant. Ok, now for the bad part. The flavor is overwhelming of the gross, perfumey, fake raspberry flavor. Only in the aftertaste does it become the slightest bit authentic. I'm sad to say I hardly taste the chocolate.
It's an "ew ew ew ew *swallow* oh, that wasn't so bad…" sort of eating experience until your brain remembers the bad part and you're left feeling disgusted. I didn't finish the other two rings. Haha.
Rating: Inedible
