A revamped plan for an 86-unit subdivision north of Hesperus received initial approval from the La Plata County commissioners Tuesday.
The new plan was presented as an alternative to the developer's original plan for the 1,769-acre property along the La Plata River east of County Road 124 that was challenged by the county as an attempt to evade subdivision regulations.
The 2008 plan divided the land at the foot of the La Plata Mountains into a jumbled patchwork of 35-acre parcels, which, according to state statute, makes it exempt from the county review process. Instead of going forward with litigation after the county challenged the project, both parties entered into a settlement agreement that let the property lines stand, but imposed some requirements on issues such as density and building envelopes.
Even so, commissioners, planning staff and the developer, Austin, Texas-based Cypress Real Estate Advisors, agree the plan was a bad one.
They all prefer the new development agreement approved Tuesday. The plan would cluster development on smaller sections of the property, leaving large areas of open space between homes and into the hills east of development. The 86 units proposed represent an almost 70 percent increase over the 49 units currently platted under the settlement agreement, but they would be built on smaller lots, which would preserve about 1,200 acres as shared private open space.
The development would be done in phases, with county approval needed for each phase. Roads, setbacks, drainage, water and sewer would be subject to stricter standards than the settlement agreement.
Commissioners agreed to allow Cyprus Real Estate Advisors five years to decide whether it would like to move forward with the building plans laid out in the development agreement or revert to the plans agreed to in the settlement agreement.
Commissioners Bobby Lieb and Wally White grappled with whether it was appropriate for the county to allow the developer to have five years to choose between either development plan.
County planners argued having both plans on the table for so long made it hard for the county and neighbors to plan for the future.
Ed Wendler, a development manager at Cypress Real Estate Advisors, said the company needs at least five years, and ideally more, as a buffer period to see how the housing market plays out before it has to decide how to develop the land.
The new development agreement, while preferable, requires further approval processes and is more dependent on the unpredictable recovery of the second-home market, Wendler said.
"We're asking you give us a chance to let the project play out," he said
A five-year provision provides a compromise, Lieb said.
"I believe strongly you will have the ability to make an educated decision in five years," he said.
Lieb and Commissioner Kellie Hotter voted for the development agreement that allows the developer five years to act on the new plan.
White voted against it, arguing the developer shouldn't be allowed to abandon the development agreement anytime it chooses.
"If we do a development agreement, the developer should adhere to that and not have options to skate out of it if they so desire," he said.

The gun control crowd, to hear James Owensby of Hendersonville size things up, has done nothing but drive up the price of weapons.
"And they're lining the pockets of politicians," he says.
"Who is going to pay $2,500 for a gun to shoot maybe 16 times? Only the rich will be able to afford them. It's the heat of the moment that has gun dealers and owners going crazy. It's just like the gasoline. In another season in another year, the price will come down. What the gun control crowd is doing doesn't amount to a hill of beans except to temporarily raise prices. Now the pawn shops are getting rich. Not long ago they didn't have many guns, and now the shops are full of guns. What people need to focus on are the crazy people who get guns. Guns have nothing to do with the killings. It's the crazy people.
But I have three guns and wouldn't hesitate to defend myself. That's the way it should be. We just need to get guns out of the hands of the crazy people."
'GUESS WHAT?': Myrtice Justice of Hendersonville grumbles that not even in his second term as president has Barack Obama been good for the country. "He wasn't my choice for president, and he hasn't done anything right for us," she grouses. "We need stricter laws on immigration.
That's the reason there are no jobs for Americans. What does our president want to do? He's only interested in health care. But guess what?
We don't have jobs."
'WORSE THAN I IMAGINED': An older couple had a son still living with them. The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his career path, so they decided to do a small test.
They placed a $10 bill, a Bible and a bottle of whiskey on the front hall table. Then they hid, hoping he would think they weren't at home. The father told the mother, "If he takes the money, he will be a businessman. If he takes the Bible, he will be a priest.
But if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard." So the parents took their place in the nearby closet and waited nervously. Peeping through the keyhole, they saw their son arrive home. He saw the note they had left, saying they'd be home later. Then he picked up the $10 bill, looked at it against the light and slid it into his pocket. After that, he picked up the Bible, thumbed through it and tucked it under an arm. Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it and took a whiff to be assured of the quality. Then, carrying the three items, he left the room. The father slapped his forehead and said, "Darn!
It's worse than I imagined."
"What do you mean?" his wife asked. The father replied, "He's going to be a politician."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: No one should miss the second annual Spring-Go Festival at Chimney Rock Village on May 18. The fun will start at 7:30 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m., and best of all there is no admission charge. The festival will start with a pancake breakfast at the Fire House from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.
The Olde Timey Mountain Parade will start at 10 a.m.
Make plans to enjoy this fun family parade as it makes its way down the village's Main Street. Just like in the old days, the parade will include kids on bikes, homemade floats, music and firetrucks.
You'll find arts and crafts booths at the Gathering Place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. And who could pass up a chance to win $1,250 in the Pie Bingo event? Where will that darn cow go? A $25 ticket gets you a chance to win the money, but the cow has to drop the largest amount of "pie" on your square. You can purchase tickets at either Medina's Caf� or Coffee on the Rocks. Live music and entertainment, including cloggers, will be provided all afternoon.
Reach Lou Parris at 828-694-7836 or email@example.com.

Cisco MDS SAN-OS Troubleshooting Guide -- Overview PDF
Overview of the Troubleshooting Process
To troubleshoot your fabric environment, follow these general steps:
- Gather information that defines the specific symptoms.
- Identify all potential problems that could be causing the symptoms.
- Systematically eliminate each potential problem (from most likely to least likely) until the symptoms disappear.
To identify the possible problems, you need to use a variety of tools and understand the overall storage environment. For this reason, this guide describes a number of general troubleshooting tools in Appendix B, "Troubleshooting Tools and Methodology", including those that are specific to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. This chapter also provides a plan for investigating storage issues. See other chapters in this book for detailed explanations of specific issues.
Best Practices
Best practices are the recommended steps you should take to ensure the proper operation of your fabric. We recommend the following general best practices for most SAN fabrics:
- Maintain a consistent Cisco SAN-OS release across all your Cisco MDS switches.
- Refer to the release notes for your Cisco SAN-OS release for the latest features, limitations, and caveats.
- Enable system message logging. See the "System Messages" section.
- Troubleshoot any new configuration changes after implementing the change.
- Use Fabric Manager and Device Manager to proactively manage your fabric and detect possible problems before they become critical.
Troubleshooting Basics
This section provides a series of questions that may be useful when troubleshooting a problem with a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch or connected devices. Use the answers to these questions to plan a course of action and to determine the scope of the problem. For example, if a host can only access some, but not all, of the logical unit numbers (LUNs) on an existing subsystem, then fabric-specific issues (such as FSPF, ISLs, or FCNS) do not need to be investigated. The fabric components can therefore be eliminated from possible causes of the problem.
General Steps
The two most common symptoms of problems in a storage network are:
- A host cannot access its allocated storage
- An application does not respond after attempting to access the allocated storage
By answering the questions in the following subsections, you can determine the paths you need to follow and the components that you should investigate further. These questions are independent of host, switch, or subsystem vendor.
Answer the following questions to determine the status of your installation:
- Is this a newly installed system or an existing installation? (It could be a new SAN, host, or subsystem, or new LUNs exported to an existing host.)
- Has the host ever been able to see its storage?
- Does the host recognize any LUNs in the subsystem?
- Are you trying to solve an existing application problem (too slow, too high latency, excessively long response time) or did the problem show up recently?
- What changed in the configuration or in the overall infrastructure immediately before the applications started to have problems?
To discover a SAN problem, use the following general SAN troubleshooting steps:
- Gather information on problems in your fabric. See the "Gathering Information Using Common Fabric Manager Tools and CLI Commands" section.
- Verify physical connectivity between your switches and end devices. See the "Verifying Basic Connectivity" section.
- Verify registration to your fabric for all SAN elements. See the "Verifying SAN Element Registration" section.
- Verify the configuration for your end devices (storage subsystems and servers).
- Verify end-to-end connectivity and fabric configuration. See the "Fibre Channel End-to-End Connectivity" section.
Gathering Information Using Common Fabric Manager Tools and CLI Commands
This section highlights the Fabric Manager tools and CLI commands that are commonly used to troubleshoot problems within your fabric. These tools and commands are a subset of what you might use to troubleshoot your specific problem.
Each section in this guide may include additional tools and commands specific to the symptoms and possible problems covered in that chapter.
Common Fabric Manager Tools
Use the following navigation paths in Fabric Manager or Device Manager to access common troubleshooting information:
- Overview of switch status — In Fabric Manager, click the Switch Health Analysis icon.
- End-to-end connectivity — In Fabric Manager, click the End-to-End Connectivity Analysis icon.
- Fabric configuration — In Fabric Manager, click the Fabric Configuration Analysis icon.
- Module status — In Device Manager, choose Physical > Modules.
- Cisco SAN-OS version — In Device Manager, choose Physical > System.
- View logs — In Device Manager, choose Logs > FM Server or Logs > Switch Resident.
- View Fabric Manager events — In Fabric Manager, click the Events tab at the bottom of the fabric pane.
- Interface status — In Fabric Manager, choose Switches > Interfaces and select the port type you are interested in.
- View name server information — In Device Manager, choose FC > Name Server.
- View FLOGI information — In Fabric Manager, choose Switches > Interfaces > FC Physical > FLOGI.
- Analyze the results of merging zones — In Fabric Manager, choose Zone > Merge Analysis.
- View traffic statistics — In Device Manager, click the Device tab, select one or more ports, right-click the selected port, and choose Monitoring from the pop-up menu.
Fabric Manager and Device Manager also provide the following tools to proactively monitor your fabric:
- ISL performance — In Fabric Manager, click the ISL Performance icon.
- Network monitoring — In Device Manager, click the Summary tab.
- Performance monitoring — In Fabric Manager, choose Performance > Start Collection.
Common CLI Commands
Enter the following commands and examine the outputs:
- show module
- show version
- show running-config
- show logging log
- show interfaces brief
- show fcns
- show flogi
- show hardware internal errors
- show zoneset active
- show accounting log
|Use the show running interface CLI command to view the interface configuration in Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) or later. The interface configuration as seen in the show running-config CLI command is no longer consolidated.
|To use commands with the internal keyword, you must have an account that is a member of the network-admin group.
Verifying Basic Connectivity
Answer the following questions to verify basic connectivity between your end devices:
- Are you using the correct fiber (SM or MM)?
- Did you check for a broken fiber?
- Is the Fibre Channel port LED on the connected module green, and do the LEDs on any host bus adapter (HBA) or storage subsystem ports indicate normal functionality?
- Is there a LUN masking policy applied on the storage subsystem? If yes, is the server allowed to see the LUNs exported by the storage array?
- Is there a LUN masking policy configured on the host? Did you enable the server to see all the LUNs it can access?
- If LUN masking software is used, is the host's pWWN listed in the LUN masking database?
- Is the subsystem configured for an N port?
Examine the FLOGI database on the two switches that are directly connected to the host HBA and subsystem ports. Also, verify that both ports (attached to MDS-A and MDS-B) are members of the same VSAN. If both devices are listed in the FCNS database, then ISLs are not an issue.
In Fabric Manager, choose Tools > Ping or Tools > Traceroute (or use the fcping or fctrace CLI commands) to verify connectivity. See the "FC Ping and FC Traceroute" section.
Verifying SAN Element Registration
Answer the following questions to verify that your end devices are registered to the fabric:
- Are the HBAs and subsystem ports successfully registered with the fabric name server?
- In Device Manager, choose FC > Name Server.
- In the CLI, use the show fcns command.
- Does the correct pWWN for the HBAs and the storage subsystem ports show up on the correct port in the FLOGI database?
- In Fabric Manager, choose Switches > Interfaces > FC Physical > FLOGI.
- In the CLI, use the show flogi command.
- Are the HBA and storage subsystem on the same VSAN?
- In Fabric Manager, choose End Devices and verify that the VSAN IDs are identical.
- From the CLI, use the show vsan membership command.
- Does any single zone contain both devices?
- In Fabric Manager, choose Zone > Edit Full Zone Database and select the active zone set (in bold) for the VSAN that contains the end devices. Verify that both devices are members of the same zone.
- From the CLI, use the show zoneset active command.
Fibre Channel End-to-End Connectivity
Answering the following questions will help to determine if end-to-end Fibre Channel connectivity exists from a host or subsystem perspective:
- Does the host list the subsystem's port WWN (pWWN) or FC ID in its logs?
- Does the subsystem list the host's pWWN or FC ID in its logs or LUN masking database?
- Can the host complete a port login (PLOGI) to the storage subsystem?
- Is there any SCSI exchange that takes place between the server and the disk array?
- Is the HBA configured for the N port?
To validate whether FSPF is working correctly, you can use the HBA configuration utilities or the host system logs to determine if the subsystem pWWN or FC ID is listed as a device.
Fabric Issues
Answering the following questions will help to determine the status of the fabric configuration:
- Are both the HBA and the subsystem port successfully registered with the fabric name server?
- Does the correct pWWN for the server HBA and the storage subsystem port show up on the correct port in the FLOGI database? In other words, is the device plugged into the correct port?
- Does any single zone contain both devices? The zone members can be WWNs or FC IDs.
- Is the zone correctly configured and part of the active configuration or zone set within the same VSAN?
- Do the ISLs show any VSAN isolation?
- Do the host and storage belong to the same VSAN?
- Are any parameters, such as FSPF, static domain assignment, VSAN, or zoning, mismatched in the configuration of the different switches in the fabric?
Port Issues
Points to consider while investigating port connectivity issues are:
- Verify correct media: copper or optical; single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM).
- Is the media broken or damaged?
- Is the LED on the switch green?
- Is the active LED on the HBA for the connected device on?
Basic port monitoring using Device Manager begins with the visual display in the Device View. (See Figure 1-1.) Port display descriptions include:
- Green box: A successful fabric login has occurred; the connection is active.
- Red X: A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver is present but there is no connection. This could indicate a disconnected or faulty cable, or no active device connection.
- Red box: An SFP is present but fabric login (FLOGI) has failed. Typically there is a mismatch in port or fabric parameters with the neighboring device. For example, a port parameter mismatch would occur if a node device were connected to a port configured as an E port. An example of a fabric parameter mismatch would be differing timeout values.
- Yellow box: In Device Manager, a port has been selected.
- Gray box: The port is administratively disabled.
- Black box: An SFP is not present.
Figure 1-1 Device Manager: Device View
Device Manager: Summary View
In Device Manager, selecting the Summary View expands the information available for port monitoring. (See Figure 1-2.) The display includes the following:
- VSAN assignment
- For N ports, the port World Wide Name (pWWN) and Fibre Channel ID (FC ID) of the connected device
- For ISLs, the IP address of the connected switch
- Speed
- Frames transmitted and received
- Percentage utilization for the CPU, dynamic memory, and flash memory
Figure 1-2 Device Manager: Summary View
Device Manager: Port Selection
To drill down for additional port information, use the Device View or Summary View. Select and double-click any port. The initial display shows administrative settings for Mode, Speed, and Status, plus current operational status, failure cause, and date of the last configuration change.
Additional tabs include the following:
- Rx BB Credit — Configure and view buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_credits).
- Other — View PortChannel ID, WWN, and maximum transmission unit (MTU), and configure maximum receive buffer size.
- FLOGI — View FC ID, pWWN, nWWN, BB_credits, and class of service for N port connections.
- ELP — View pWWN, nWWN, BB_credits, and supported classes of service for ISLs.
- Trunk Config — View and configure trunk mode and allowed VSANs.
- Trunk Failure — View the failure cause for ISLs.
- Physical — Configure beaconing; view SFP information.
- Capability — View current port capability for hold-down timers, BB credits, maximum receive buffer size.
Device Manager: Port Monitoring
To display additional details about port traffic, use the Device View or Summary View. In Device View, choose one or more ports, right-click and choose Monitoring from the pop-up menu. In Summary View, choose one or more interfaces, and click the Monitor tool. The initial display shows traffic statistics for the selected interval, including bytes and frames transmitted and received.
Additional tabs include the following:
- Protocol — View protocol-related traffic and error statistics, including link reset counts, offline and non-operational sequence errors, reset protocol errors, and statistics related to buffer-to-buffer flow control.
- Discards — View the number of frames discarded by the port, including Class 2, Class 3, and Class F frames, EISL frames, and totals.
- Link Errors — View the number of link errors, including link failures, signal losses, synchronization failures, invalid transmission words, and delimiter and address identifier errors.
- Frame Errors — View frame error statistics, including the number of frames with invalid CRC, Class 3 frames that were discarded upon reception, FBSY returns for selected situations, and FRJT returns resulting from frame rejection by fabric.
- Class 2 Traffic — View the amount of Class 2 traffic for the selected interval.
- Class 2 Errors — View error statistics for Class 2 traffic, including busy frame responses and port rejects.
- FICON — View FICON error statistics, including pacing, disparity, EOF, OOF, and order sets errors.
Device Manager: Oversubscription Information
Device Manager provides oversubscription information for supported switching modules and line cards. Use the Device View to view an individual module, and then right-click to select from the following tasks:
- Configure (enable or disable restrictions on oversubscription ratios and bandwidth fairness)
- Check port group oversubscription (display includes group and ports, port speed, and send and receive speed and includes possible oversubscription indicators)
- Show port resources
- Reset the module
Primary Troubleshooting Flowchart
The flowchart in the following figure shows the overall troubleshooting process. Begin any troubleshooting investigation by checking one of the following four areas:
- Physical port issues
- Physical switch issues
- Fx port issues
- Fabric services
Figure 1-3 Troubleshooting Process Flowchart
System Messages
The system software sends these syslog (system) messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation. Not all messages indicate a problem with your system. Some messages are only informational, while others might help diagnose problems with links, internal hardware, or the system software.
System Message Text
Message text is a text string that describes the condition. This portion of the message might contain detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].
- PORT-3-IF_UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Transceiver for interface [chars] is not supported.
Use this string to find the matching system message in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family System Messages Reference.
Each system message is followed by an explanation and recommended action. The action might be as simple as "No action required." The message might involve a fix or a recommendation to contact technical support as shown in the following example:
- Error Message PORT-3-IF_UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Transceiver for interface [chars] is not supported.
- Explanation Transceiver (SFP) is not from an authorized vendor.
- Recommended Action Enter the show interface transceiver CLI command or similar Fabric Manager or Device Manager command to determine the transceiver being used. Contact your customer support representative for a list of authorized transceiver vendors.
Syslog Server Implementation
The syslog facility allows the Cisco MDS 9000 Family platform to send a copy of the message log to a host for more permanent storage. This function is useful if the logs need to be examined over a long period of time or when the Cisco MDS switch is not accessible.
This example demonstrates how to configure a Cisco MDS switch to use the syslog facility on a Solaris platform. Although a Solaris host is being used, the syslog configuration on all UNIX and Linux systems is very similar.
Syslog uses the concept of a facility to determine how it should be handled on the syslog server (the Solaris system in this example), and the message severity. Therefore, different message severities can be handled differently by the syslog server. They could be logged to different files or e-mailed to a particular user. Specifying a severity determines that all messages of that level and greater severity (lower number) will be acted upon.
Implementing Syslog with Fabric Manager
To configure system message logging servers, follow these steps:
- In Fabric Manager, choose Switches > Events > Syslog in the Physical pane, and then click the Servers tab in the Information pane. In Device Manager, choose Logs > Syslog > Setup and click the Servers tab in the Syslog dialog box.
- Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager or Create in Device Manager to add a new syslog server.
- Enter the name or IP address in dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.168.2.12) of the syslog server in the Name or IP Address field.
- Set the message severity threshold by clicking the MsgSeverity radio button, and set the facility by clicking the Facility radio button.
- Click Apply Changes in Fabric Manager or click Create in Device Manager to save and apply your changes.
- If CFS is enabled in Fabric Manager for the syslog feature, click CFS to commit these changes to propagate the configuration through the fabric.
Device Manager allows you to view event logs on your local PC as well as those on the switch. For a permanent record of all events that occur on the switch, you should store these messages off the switch. The Cisco MDS switch must be configured to send syslog messages to your local PC and a syslog server must be running on that PC to receive those messages. These messages can be categorized into four classes:
- Hardware — Line card or power supply problems
- Link incidents — FICON port condition changes
- Accounting — User change events
- Events — All other events
Implementing Syslog with the CLI
To configure a syslog server using the CLI, follow these steps:
1. Configure the Cisco MDS switch:
switch1# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch1(config)# logging server 172.22.36.211 6 facility local1
- To display the configuration:
switch1# show logging server Logging server: enabled {172.22.36.211} server severity: notifications server facility: local1
2. Configure the syslog server:
- a. Modify /etc/syslog.conf to handle local1 messages. For Solaris, there needs to be at least one tab between the facility.severity and the action (/var/adm/MDS_logs).
#Below is for the MDS 9000 logging local1.notice /var/adm/MDS_logs
- b. Create the log file.
#touch /var/adm/MDS_logs
- c. Restart syslog.
# /etc/init.d/syslog stop # /etc/init.d/syslog start syslog service starting.
- d. Verify syslog started.
# ps -ef |grep syslogd root 23508 1 0 11:01:41 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd
3. Test the syslog server by creating an event on the Cisco MDS switch. In this case, port fc1/2 was bounced and the following was listed on the syslog server. Notice that the IP address of the switch is listed in brackets.
# tail -f /var/adm/MDS_logs Sep 17 11:07:41 [172.22.36.142.2.2] : 2004 Sep 17 11:17:29 pacific: %PORT-5-IF_DOWN_INITIALIZING: %$VSAN 1%$ Interface fc1/2 is down (Initializing) Sep 17 11:07:49 [172.22.36.142.2.2] : 2004 Sep 17 11:17:36 pacific: %PORT-5-IF_UP: %$VSAN 1%$ Interface fc1/2 is up in mode TE Sep 17 11:07:51 [172.22.36.142.2.2] : 2004 Sep 17 11:17:39 pacific: %VSHD-5-VSHD_SYSLOG_CONFIG_I: Configuring console from pts/0 (dhcp-171-71-49-125.cisco.com)
Troubleshooting with Logs
Cisco SAN-OS generates many types of system messages on the switch and sends them to a syslog server. These messages can be viewed using Fabric Manager or the CLI to determine what events may have led up to the current problem condition you are facing.
Viewing Logs with Fabric Manager
Fabric Manager and Device Manager present concise views of the generated system messages and other logged events:
- In Device Manager, click Logs to set up and view logs.
- In Fabric Manager, click the Logs tab at the bottom of the fabric pane to view log information.
- Learn to use Threshold Manager to alert you that critical statistics have exceeded a set threshold.
Viewing Logs with the CLI
The following CLI commands are available to access and view logs on a switch:
Musky-9506# show logging ? console Show console logging configuration info Show logging configuration last Show last few lines of logfile level Show facility logging configuration logfile Show contents of logfile module Show module logging configuration monitor Show monitor logging configuration nvram Show NVRAM log server Show server logging configuration <cr> Carriage Return
The following is an example of the show logging CLI command output:
Musky-9506# show logging server Logging server: enabled {10.91.51.204} server severity: critical server facility: user
Viewing the Log from the Supervisor
You can view system messages from Device Manager if Device Manager is running from the same workstation as the Fabric Manager Server. Choose Logs > Events > current to view the system messages on Device Manager. The columns in the events table are sortable. In addition, you can use the Find button to locate text within the table.
You can view switch-resident logs even if you have not set up your local syslog server or your local PC is not in the switch's syslog server list. Because of memory constraints, these logs wrap when they reach a certain size. The switch syslog has two logs: an NVRAM log that holds a limited number of critical and greater messages and a nonpersistent log that contains notice or greater severity messages. Hardware messages are part of these logs.
Use the show logging CLI command to view the logs on the supervisor.
Viewing NVRAM logs
System messages that are priority 0, 1, or 2 are logged into NVRAM on the supervisor module. After a switch reboots, you can display these syslog messages in NVRAM using the show logging nvram CLI command.

King's Kloof
West Rand sport climbing in an unspoilt, tranquil valley near Krugersdorp.
Buttresses facing North, North East and North West. Hot in Summer but shade can be found at various times of day. Warm and sunny in Winter - a great Winter crag. As a general rule the crags on the right of the river (facing downstream) are in shade in the morning while the crags on the left are in shade in the afternoon.
Rock and topography
Quartzite with marked variations in colour and texture. A friable shale layer lies under the quartzite and is very visible just North East of the crags along the river. Some areas, particularly the NW sector, have a very 'alpine' feel with unpleasant falls awaiting the unwary belayer. The very uneven terrain can be disorienting. Please consider using the belay safety bolts (painted black) provided at the start of some climbs.
60 metre rope and up to 12 quickdraws. So far there are 5x25m climbs and one link-up of 31m, in addition to many shorter lines. Extra slings and screwgates may be useful for use with the belay safety bolts. Climbs are equipped with the finest stainless steel hangers made in SA, attached by Hilti HSA-R M10x68mm stainless steel bolts, for your climbing pleasure! 8mm Maillons rated at 15kN are used at anchors and/or rated galvanized chain. Many hangers are painted to lessen environmental impact, more will be painted over time.
4. Getting there
King's Kloof lies in the Chancliff district of Krugersdorp
From Krugersdorp: Leave Krugersdorp taking Paardekraal Road NE. Take the exit for Robert Broom Drive and left (uphill) at RBD. Turn first right into Clifford Road and second left into Edward Road. Drive all the way to the brick wall ahead and follow the road next to it which takes you to the Achterbergh gate. Continue (slowly) down to the bridge.
From everywhere else: Get to the big 4-way robot at the SW end of the Pretoria Highway (N14 meets M47 {Hendrik Potgeiter} meets R28). Large Sasol garage on corner. Go up the long hill towards Krugersdorp (R28) and take the exit for Robert Broom Drive and left onto RBD. Turn first right into Clifford Road and second left into Edward Road. Drive all the way to the brick wall ahead and follow the road next to it which takes you to the Achterbergh gate. Continue (slowly) down to the bridge.
Go over the bridge and parking is immediately on the right as you come over the bridge. For now, please park considerately on each side of the road before the bridge.
5. Booking in
On arrival, please book in with Derek Schneider, the manager of the Rocky Valley camp (083 326 8618). He lives in the house on the left nearest the bridge. Pay R30 per person and sign the indemnity form. If you cannot find Derek the indemnity form is in a grey metal box on a post next to the house. Sign in, put your money in the tin and please be honest! Your money goes to the landowners who have been kind enough to open this area up to us.
6. Accommodation
is available by contacting Derek Schneider at Rocky Valley (083 326 8618), or Betsie Slippers at Achterbergh (011 954 5533). There is no camping or bivouacing allowed.
7. Guide conventions
Route names are followed by the consensus grade and (number of bolts + two anchors). Thus you will know how many quickdraws you need to climb the route and you can choose an appropriate belay method at the anchors. 'S' indicates that a safety bolt has been provided on the climb. Routes are described left to right. Comments on grades, etc are welcomed at http://www.climb.co.za/forum/ under 'Area Updates and New Routes'. Be nice, we've done our best!
8. The climbing
The climbing is divided into four areas: Kings Kloof NW, NE, SW and SE. The river runs downstream pretty much northwards so the arrangement of the areas should be obvious. There is a prominent sign along the path to King's Kloof NW which shows the climbing areas. Currently the most developed area is NW, with routes appearing at NE and soon some harder routes at SE. Watch this guide for updates.
9. Special Access Conditions
Access has been granted through negotiation with the two religious organisations who own the land. There must be no alcohol at the crag and names of new routes must have respectful Christian connotations. Remember: the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away (Job 1:21) so please heed these conditions. Please read 'Crag Rules'.
N.B. check number of bolts!!
King's Kloof NW From the parking area take the path downstream until you can see a rising rock ramp with the obvious chain scramble at the top.
Care with rope management, drag, sharp edges, top-roping and pendulums – so that's about everything, really! River face: pass to the right of the rock ramp, taking the path to a steep and broken face. Damnation (15m) 17 (?B+A) * Traverse left to the roof, over this and back right to the anchors. First Ascent: Neil Margetts June 2010
Main faces: Approach up the rock ramp to the chain scramble There are three lines to the left as you ascend the ramp. They are essentially highball boulder problems which will be bolted due to the very bad landing. There are anchors. Please take care with top-roping them so as not to swing out and send passers-by to their doom! Open Project – not yet bolted (?B+A) Open Project – not yet bolted (?B+A) The Disciple (Neil's Project) 24? – not yet bolted (?B+A)
The next two routes start just before the chain scramble: Eve Variation (25m) 18 (9B+A) S. ** The left start to Adam's Rib, starting up the steep crack and block at 18, then joining the main route. Rope drag may be a problem when lowering off. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 Adam's Rib (25m) 16 (8B+A) S ** Starts to the right of Eve and takes the left line of bolts on the wall above, over the two overhangs. Again, rope drag may be an issue. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 And, above the chain scramble: Wall of Jericho (15m) 14 (5B+A) S *** Line of bolts just left of the dead tree at ¾ height. Very serious injury will meet both climber and belayer if the climber falls before clipping the first bolt. Note safety bolt. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 Stairway to Heaven 15 (10m) (5B+A) S *** Start at the sentry box and traverse right across the wall, to exit up the roof-capped corner.. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 The Serpent 20 (10m) (5B+A) S ** Powerful moves left and up to exit on the right side of the headwall; easier if you're tall.. First Ascent: David Tapp, July 2010 The Apple 21 (8m) (6B+A) S. Strenuous moves up and left to the large block then up to the chains. First ascent: David Tapp January 2011 Elijah's Flying Chariot 21 (6m) (5B+A) S ** Climb just right of the green groove. Anchors shared with Genesis. First Ascent: Neil Margetts, August 2010. Bolted by David Tapp. Genesis 18 (5m) (5B+A) S ** Climbs the crack up the short face 2m to the left of the tree. This was the first climb opened at King's Kloof. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 Zacharias' Tree (5m) 19 (4B+A) ** This climbs the short blank face behind the tree. To get the grade, climb just right of the bolt line. Left is easier. . First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010
Daryl's climb – takes the short, deep crack. 15?? R.I.V. 13 (25m) (8B+A) S ** Start just left of the cross. Traverse gently left to finish on the arête at the top. Climb bolt to bolt; no escaping onto the big ledges! First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010
Dragon Slayers 15 (12m) (5B+A) Start as for CFD, on the block. Traverse left and up the wall to curve back right to the anchors. First ascent: Neil Margetts January 2011
Crazy Flying Demons 13 (12m) (5B+A) Start on a block in the corner. Climbs the corner chimney/crack. Anchors shared with DS. First ascent: George Stainton January 2011 Variation 19: Climb the left face only, not using the blocks/jugs in the corner nor the right wall of the corner. First ascent: Neil Margetts January 2011
The next routes to the right are found on the Dark Side Buttress with the large and prominent overhang:
Hellfire (15m) 23 (7B+A) S ***
Bridge up the wide crack and move right onto the wall. Difficult moves over the overhang lead to a finish back left. First ascent: Neil Margetts November 2010. Bolted by David Tapp Hellfire Direct (variation) Neil's project Start just left of Number of the Beast and climb straight up from the right to join Hellfire Number of the Beast (Dave's project) (17m) 21??(6B+A) ***? Start as for Turn or Burn. After clipping the second bolt move left across the corner onto a slab. Climb up through the overhang and boldly up the headwall to the top. First Ascent: David Tapp Turn or Burn (17m) 23 (6B+A) S **** Start 4m to the right of Hellfire. Climb up and over the overhang, then boldly up the headwall to the anchors. First Ascent: Wesley Black September 2010 Armageddon (23m) 19 (7B +A) S *** Starts 1m right of ToB at a vertical crack. The route crosses WoS at half height to finish 2m right of it. Climb up the thin crack until one can traverse right, crossing WoS. Climb up to a small ledge. Continue above the ledge on steep rock to a recess in the roofs above, and the anchors. First Ascent: Neil Margetts, September 2010. Bolted by David Tapp. The Wages of Sin (20m) 22 (6B +A) **** Starts just right of Armageddon, crosses it at half height and finishes 2m to its left. Traverse right under a bulge using obvious underclings and up to easier ground. Continue straight up to a large rail near a prominent, diamond-shaped white block. From here climb straight through the roofs directly above exiting left at the top to the anchors. First Ascent: Neil Margetts December 2010 Golgotha (25m) 18 (10B+A) **** Technical lower section leads to a slab and a step left across the abyss. Exposed finish (17) up the overhangs. Note: Having clipped the bolt past the slab, unclip the slab bolt to lessen rope drag. First Ascent: David Tapp June 2010 The Fourth Beast (7m) 19 (?B+A) Start 3m left of TFH. Move up on large holds and left across a slab. Strenuous moves with fingery holds lead to a groove. Up this to the anchors. First ascent: George Stainton January 2011. Bolted by Neil Margetts. Variation 15 ….details??? The Four Horsemen (25M) 12 (8B+A) ***? Start in a crack and corner feature at the left end of easy slabs. Climb up and over the bulge just right of the bolts, then up the slab, trending left until under the overhangs. Climb the groove above, to the anchors. First ascent: Taryn Van Olden December 2010. Bolted by David Tapp. Variation 15: There is an alternative start which takes the off-balance groove/crack on the left of the bolts. First ascent: David Tapp February 2011.
King's Kloof NE Directly across the river from KK NW. Approach this buttress along the Rocky Valley path from the car park and cross the river via stepping stones among the eucalypts. The next two climbs can be run together as a 31m outing. A 60m rope will allow an average-weight climber to get down on rope stretch. Tie a knot in the end of the rope just in case! Three Wise Men (20m) 15 (?B+A) Lower tier, starting at a shield-shaped bulge just left of the middle of the main face. Climb up and over the bulge into a small recess and easier climbing. Scramble to anchors. First Ascent: David Tapp February 2011. Angel of Mercy (11m) 17 (?B+A) Upper tier – continuation of TWM - Scramble slightly left until below a balancy face. Climb this to a short traverse left and up steeply left to the anchors on the left side of the overhang. Use 60m rope if lowering to the ground. First Ascent: David Tapp February 2011. Again, the next two climbs can be run together as a 30m pitch, though you'll fall a long way on rope stretch if you come off at the top of SITW. Don't hit the platform! A 60m rope will allow an average-weight climber to get down on rope stretch. Tie a knot in the end of the rope just in case! Narrow is the Gate (22m) 13 (?B+A) Lower tier. Start 4m right of TWM. Follow the bolts as they wander right and left to the platform under SITW. First ascent: David Tapp February 2011 Straight is the Way (8m) 19/20 (4B?+A) Upper tier. From the large platform between upper and lower tiers climb the prominent z-crack and traverse left to the chains. All praise to the first ascensionist (name?) who climbed this line on trad gear in the 1970s. Bolted by David Tapp Feb 2011.

Park St., Cortez, to discuss the Pueblo I period Ancestral Puebloan occupation of the Abajo Uplands, Monticello Ranger District, Manti-La Sal National Forest in SE Utah. After 40 years of archaeological investigations, the Forest remains a gray spot on most peoples' map. This talk summarizes and, where possible, interprets the Forest PI occupation in light of the last decade of work conducted on the District. Donald Irwin has served as the District Heritage Manager at the Moab-Monticello Ranger District of the Manti-La Sal National Forest for the past 11 years. In his current position, Don manages the cultural resource program that covers over 500,000 acres in the Abajo and La Sal Mountains areas on lands administered by the USDA Forest Service. For more information, call Diane McBride at 560-1643.

Looking for a compounded prescription? You can find prices and coupons here.
You may find that filling a 90-day supply will reduce your total cost for this prescription. As an added bonus, you'll make fewer trips to the pharmacy, saving you time and money.
If you have insurance or Medicare, you may find that you receive lower prices if you fill your prescriptions through your plan's mail order pharmacy. Many insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) are now offering similar rates at a select group of "preferred" retail pharmacies. Some plans may require that you fill through a mail order pharmacy for fills of more than a 30-day supply.
To switch to 90-day fills, note that you'll need a new prescription from your doctor; a 30-day quantity prescription will not allow 90-day fills.

Lviv (also spelled L'viv and Львів; Polish: Lwów, German: Lemberg; also known as Lvov, its Russianized name used during Soviet era) is in Western Ukraine and used to be the Capital of East Galicia. The biggest city of the region and major Ukrainian cultural center. The historic city center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The city has a multicultural history. It was founded in 1256 by King Daniel of Galicia and fell under Polish control in the 14th century. Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Germans and others lived there together for centuries.
The Polish king John II Casimir founded the Lviv University in the 17th century and Lviv (known as Lwów) was by that time one of the most important cities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, along with Krakow, Warsaw, Gdansk and Vilnius.
In 1772 the city was taken by the Habsburgs and in Austrian times it was known under the name of Lemberg, the capital of Galicia. After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, it was returned to Poland.
As result of World War II Stalin moved the Soviet frontier westward so Lviv became part of the USSR, as Lvov (still widely frequent, even locally). With the Ukrainian independence in 1991, the name was officially changed to Lviv (Львів).
Lviv is located in the most Ukrainian region of Ukraine; as a Soviet province, most signs were put only in Ukrainian, and only a few also in Russian. Because of its Polish and Austro-Hungarian history, Lviv has a Central European flair in its architecture that makes it one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe.
Its tourist potential is yet undiscovered because infrastructure is rather undeveloped and most people don't speak any foreign languages except Polish and/or Russian. This is changing among young people, some of whom will speak English. Nevertheless, visiting Lviv is very rewarding for the pioneer traveller, as living is extremely cheap here and the place has a truly authentic feeling, unlike places like Krakow or Prague, which are swamped with tourists.
Get in
By plane
Lviv has an international airport just 7km from the beautiful downtown. Lviv is served via direct international routes including flights from Vienna (Austrian Airlines), Frankfurt (Ukraine International Airlines), Warsaw (LOT Polish Airlines), Timisoara, Romania (Carpatair) and Munich (Lufthansa). Low cost airline Wizz Air flies twice a week to Dortmund and Venice-Treviso.
Important! Lufthansa and Wizz Air-flights are not served from main terminal - go to the small Terminal "3" at the right side of the main building!
It is relatively inexpensive to fly from Kyiv to Lviv, with multiple daily flights operated by Ukrainian International Airlines [29] and Aerosvit [30]. These carriers also operate flights to and from other major Ukrainian cities, although it is still more common to travel by train domestically as the overnight trains save you the cost of a hotel while providing you transporation. Return airfares from Kyiv range from as low as $50 (including taxes and fees), if booked more than a month in advance, to approximately $100. Tickets for air travel can be purchased online or via travel agents. Taxi from the airport to town (or visa-versa) should cost around 45UAH, depending on the time of day. Negotiate prior to departure. There are line 9 operated by trolleybuses from Airport to city center (1.25UAH, also available 50% discounts for students), and line 48 operated by buses (2 UAH, vithout discounts) from the airport. Both of them are frequent (every 10-15 minutes during the day).
See: Lviv Airport website [31]. The airport is very basic as there is no currency exchange and toilets are only available after check-in. There is only one ATM, and it is located in the main arrival hall. The small restaurants right outside of the main building will be your best bet for food and locating clean toilets.
Arrival Advisory: Travel Insurance
You do not need to buy insurance at the airport. There is a little booth in arrivals with someone who may try to sell you insurance or demand to see yours if you say you have it. You do not need to purchase insurance from this person, nor show them any documentation. Ignore them.
By train
The total cost for this route is approximately €12 and maybe less if you have a student card. It is around half the price of the next cheapest option. Whether to take it depends on your stress tolerance, Polish language skills and ability to push and shove at the border.
Smuggling is a fact of life between Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine. The harsh economic situation in these two respective regions forces many into the trade, involving people of all ages. You may witness individuals unscrewing panels and pulling out plastic wrapped cigarette cartons, and may even be asked to politely move to enable access to a hidden cavity. Similarly if you decide to use the toilet you may find it blocked with cartons of cigarettes and your seat may feel uncomfortable if someone's removed the soft filling and replaced it with cigarettes. The key here is to exercise your common sense. These people are only doing their 'job' and thus should be treated with respect. There is no need for alarm! In fact it can be fascinating watching just how many cigarettes a single train carriage can hold and later watching as everything is removed on arrival in the EU. Border guards may ask you if anyone has been smuggling but the best response is to claim that you were sleeping or pretend not to understand.
You are legally allowed to bring through the EU border 40 cigarettes (two packs) or 20 cigarillos or 10 cigars or 50g of smoking tobacco and 1 liter of spirits (above 22% alcohol) or 2 liters of alcohol (e.g. sparkling wine below 22% alcohol) and 4 liters of non-sparkling wine and 16 liters of beer. If you are below 17 years old it's half of these amounts. (source - Polish Customs Service announcement, in Polish [36])
By car
From Poland: take the E40, this will end at the city center. Keep in mind that all formalities at the border take from one hour upwards. There will be a long line for trucks, which you can pass if you travel by car. Don't expect the border police to treat you respectfully, or speak any language other than Ukrainian, Poish or Russian. In fact, expect the very opposite regarding both.
Ukrainian roads are bad, and Ukrainian drivers have an aggressive driving style. When you drive into Lviv, make sure you have a good map because getting lost in this town is very easy.
Pay close attention to speed limits (which are often badly marked, with signs far off the road, covered with branches etc.), but the speeding fines are usually low if nothing else is wrong with your car. In towns, the speed limit is usually 60km/h (40mph). Speed limits on "nationals" (single carriageway countryside roads) is 90km/h (55mph). The poor average quality of the roads already acts as a speed checker. Speed limits on highways (motorways) is 110-120km/h (75mph).
Be aware that corruption is widespread among Ukrainian police. When you are stopped for speeding or other violations, officers might aggressively try and extract ridiculous sums of money from you (€100 and up), offering "reductions" if you pay on the spot (the proposed alternative being some unpleasant and more expensive way, all made up).
The highest actual legal fine in the Ukraine is the equivalent of about $200. But the fine should be paid in the bank, not directly to police officer! So if you're asked for fine demand a written ticket for you to pay later instead. Don't let them intimidate you. It's very useful to have an embassy phone number handy for these cases (you should NOT under any circumstances travel around Ukraine without your embassy/consulate number handy anyway). If you mention your embassy/consulate, they'll let you off the hook quicker than you know it. At any rate, write down the officers' badge numbers, rank, plate number of the police car, and notify the nearest embassy/consulate in detail, to help fight these corrupt practices.
By bus
From Poland
There are daily buses from Polish cities: Warsaw, Przemyśl, Lublin, Wrocław. It is possible also to get there by bus from other European cities.
From Przemyśl there are 2 types of buses that regularly travel to L'viv. The first is the PKS (Polish Coach Buses) and the second is private buses.
The private buses are found just outside of the train station on the opposite side from the main bus station. They head to the border when they are full, which can take a while at night and travel to the border is about 15 minutes (about 10km of rough road). The price is from 2-3 PLN (November 2011). The mini-bus drops you off at the foot way to the pedestrian crossing Medyka-Shehyni. On the Ukraine side private buses can be taken to Lviv; these take from 2 to 3 hours, and can be found at the bus station around 300 meters up the main road, past all the shops, on the first major road to your left. Right outside the border you will probably meet touters who will tell you that they have best prices and invite to their cars and buses, this option may be faster but is definitely more expensive. The price for a bus from the station is 23 UAH (June 2012); the buses are often packed and can be uncomfortable at times due to road conditions and poor drivers. It is an adventure and it is to be on a bus full of smugglers after they have successfully completed their daily missions. The bus from Shehyni will most likely arrive next to the main train station in Lviv.
There is a daily night bus service provided by Eurobus from Krakow bus station to Lviv, departing at 21.50 from Krakow and supposed to arrive at 6.00 in Lviv (depending on delays at the border [37]. The price is around 90 PLN (October 2011). There is also a Eurolines bus (but not every day) from Krakow, departing at 11:30 to Lviv, arriving at 21:10 [38]. This bus continues onwards to Kiev to arrive at around 6:00 the next morning. The price to Lviv is around 75 PLN and discounts (ISIC etc) apply(October 2011). The bus from Brest (Belarus) to Lviv departs every day on 08.45 AM from platform 7 and arrives in Lviv at 17.33 PM. The price is around 20 USD. Most of international buses arrive at Stryisky bus station, on the outskirts of Lviv. To get to the centre you take trolleybus 5. Ticket - 1,25 UAH (you need another one for big luggage) can be bought in a kiosk or from the driver.
From the Czech Republic
Countless buses connect Lviv directly with Prague and some other Czech cities, passing through Poland, but mostly not stopping there to take passengers. These can be best viewed using the Czech integrated timetable at http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz (English version also available and working). Advance reservation is recommended and for some buses also possible online, at the bus operator's website. Although these buses can get you from the West to Lviv far faster than trains, keep in mind they are not meant for western tourists. Instead, they are targeted primarily at Ukrainian emigrant workers earning their living in the Czech Republic. As such, brace yourself for at least 10 hours in the jolly company of drinking and smoking (!) workers returning with their hard-earned cash back home.
Get around
Lviv has an extensive tram and mini-bus network.
The Ukrainian currency is known as the hryvnia (you may also hear the pronunciation "grivna"). It was introduced in 1996. The exchange did hover around 5 UAH to 1 USD, but due to the global economic downturn has dropped to between 7.5 and 8 UAH to 1 USD.
Both ATMs (known as "bankomats") and currency exchanges ("obmin valyuti") are ubiquitous throughout Lviv, particularly in the city center. Most, but not all, ATMs will accept Visa and Mastercard. Currency exchanges will often only accept foreign currency in pristine condition. Travellers' checks are not very useful in Lviv; however, there are still a few hotels and banks that will cash them for you.
Do not expect to be able to use a credit card anywhere except upscale stores, hotels and perhaps some restaurants. Hostels will certainly not take credit cards.
You should be aware that attempting to pay for something inexpensive with a large denomination (50 UAH and above) will often at the very least annoy the shopkeeper; salespeople may even refuse to sell to you if you do not have any smaller denominations. Grocery stores and other high-volume shops are an exception to this rule.
Life in L'viv is very very cheap. It's not difficult to find a place where you can have a full meal for 2 euros. The challenge is rather trying to order if you don't speak Ukrainian.
The club scene in L'viv is thriving; with many options ranging from the cavernous Club Metro to the intimate and upmarket Zanzibar. There are usually entry charges but drink prices more than make up for this. In most clubs you are able to buy bottles of vodka for a reasonable price and simply chill at a table all evening.
Once inside you'll find a spiral staircase ascending up three flights of dining space. Each floor is cozy, candle lit, and decorated with classic gas lamps. Gas Lamp also has one of Lviv's best patios, in the form of their rooftop dining section. With a view of the Armenian Church steeple is the perfect place to spend a warm summers evening.
Sadly the menu's are not in English, but the staff are friendly and will take their time to help get your order correct. While the entrees at Gas Lamp are your standard fare, the snacks that do with beer are real standouts. They are an extra big hit with the sophisticated post-work clientele who undoubtedly come here to mingle and complain about their bosses. Try the seasoned croutons, chips and a variety of dipping sauces they're the perfect accompaniment for their wide selection of cold local brews.
Great pubs and bars abound in L'viv but they can be hard to find, do your research as many are tired dens of misery.
Descend a flight of stairs past a charming little merchandise stand to the cavernous first room. Sit down at a long beer garten style table and order a giant stein of the Lvivske beer. The name, Robert Doms comes from the man who founded the brewery in 1715 (also the name of their signature brew). The food here is great, so even if you've already eaten, it's suggested you order a salty snack from their German-style menu to accompany the delicious beer.
The pub is often open late, so make an evening here. The underground location and stone walls give Robert Doms Beer House great acoustics and an intimate feel. Or, if you're not in the mood for music, head to the ajoining Austrian style pub room. Plush, wooden and well lit, this is a great place to watch a game of football with friends as the giant TV at the end of the room has a habit of sucking in peoples attention.
Dublin does a good job of not packing the tables in too tightly, you after you've grabbed a seat, don't be shy to get up and wander around a little bit with a pint of any of their host of international beers in hand.
If you happen to be hungry, you'll be glad to know that the menu is in English (though the staff don't speak English), and features many of the pub favourites you would expect at home. However, you'll find that many of these dishes have been modified slightly as local ingredients are substituted for traditional ones. Most dishes are reasonably priced and quite tasty. If you are feeling homesick, this is a good cure. If football is your thing, Dublin Pub spares no expense. If there is a game on, anywhere in the world, chances are Dublin Pub will be showing it live. However, if your side happens to be playing at the same time as any of Ukraine's club, or national teams you might want swallow your pride and join in, as you're not likely to find anyone here who will permit you to change the channel.
The menu is actually one of the more familiar ones in the city, so if you are looking for a little taste of home this is probably your best bet. Korzo also has a great selection of international spirits, so if you're the kind of person who needs a shot of tequila to get the night going, this is your place. As the beer flows, you might want to try the fish soup, hearty and robust, locals say it is the perfect ballast to prevent a hangover the next morning. If quenching your thirst on a sunny afternoon of exploring is your goal, Korzo has just installed on of Lviv's largest patios. With plenty of tables and shelter from the glorious sunshine, or menacing thunderstorm (it's really either, or, in this city) the patio makes for pure people watching pleasure.
L'viv has a variety of hotels, hostels and apartments to suit all budgets and needs. The best deals for budget travellers (2-3 people) are found with the lovely apartments for rent all over town - These can be found online (preferably in Russian) or on arrival at the train station. Expect to pay around 150-200 USD/mo. for a nice studio apartment with a kitchen, TV and a nice warm-water bathroom.
The hostel scene is quite new in L'viv so be sure to check reviews of hostels using well known booking agents and forums.
The dialing code for Lviv is +380 32(2). The telephone system was recently modified; thus, to dial 6-digit numbers, use the city prefix 322, but for 7-digit numbers, use only 32.
All calls to and from cell phones are treated as long distance calls. The telephone system was recently modified one more time, thus, you must not dial an 8 followed by the city/mobile prefix, followed by the phone number. Some frequent mobile prefixes are 050, 067, 066, 096, and 097. The main mobile operators are Kyivstar, Beeline, and UMC. You can buy a SIM card or a balance replenishment card at many stores throughout Lviv.
Internet cafes are plentiful. Centrally located is Chorna Medeia on Kryva Lypa.
Stay safe
Ukrainian cities are not dangerous, though a bit more precaution is required. Common tricks include impersonating a police officer. In doubt ask an officer or tell him you're not following him. The first thing they try is to get you out of the tourists places in to areas where they can 'acquire' a fine. Openly robbing you or pick-pocketing happens less as the risks are bigger.
It is essential to learn some Ukrainian before visiting, or at the very least, learn the Cyrillic alphabet. Everyone can also read, speak and write in Russian and aren't so prickly about it, although they'd apreciate that you learn a few basic phrases in Ukrainian as well. Learn the Cyrillic alphabet (both the Russian and Ukrainian versions) way in advance until you can write words with perfection, as many do not know the Latin alphabet. German and, especially, Polish (as Lvov used to part of Poland) is spoken well among people with mature memories of the interwar era.
People selling you tickets at the train station will most likely not speak anything other than Ukrainian or Russian and may have no patience nor sympathy for you. (Neither will the people waiting behind you in line). If you speak Polish then surviving in Lviv shouldn't be a problem, as many people understand it since it's quite close to Ukrainian. Some sales people will not know the Latin alphabet, so make sure to carry a small note with your name written in Cyrillic! Queues in Ukraine tend to be a chaotic mess, especially at stations. Assert your place with an elbow and mean stare, because everyone else will, including the fifteen babushki pushing you to the side. Make sure you get in the line for foreigners when you want to buy train tickets. No, the cashier will NOT speak English, but if you know the details of the train you want, just write them down! But if you go to a different line they'll just tell you to go to the foreigner's line, and then you will have wasted a lot of time waiting for nothing.
Get out
There are many possible day trips from Lviv. Some options include nearby monasteries Krekhiv and Univ; the beautiful Carpathian mountains and their accompanying ski resorts are also not far.
For people who want to head south to Transylvania, this is best done jumping buses to Chernivtsi (a bumpy 6,5 hrs ride, or you can take one of overnight trains). Near Chernivtsi, you can visit the lovely Kamyanets-Podilsky with its ancient castle. To Suceava, the bus takes around 4 hours with border formalities. From Suceava to Bacau and finally to Braşov, each bus will take about 4 hours on very bumpy roads.
A quick and direct way to get to Romania is to take the 601L train from Lviv to Solotvino (Transcarpathia Oblast); it departs Lviv at 20:23 and arrives in Solotvino at 9:47. Cost of ticket costs less than 10 euros depending on whether one chooses 1st class "kupet" or 2nd class "platzkart". Solotvino is a very small town, and the border station (which will be on the other side of the Tisa river, or the right hand side of the train) is not too hard to locate: when exiting the train, take a left until you approach the first road. At the road, take a right, and walk about 100m before coming to a three-way intersection (there will be a monument in the middle. Take a left onto the road that heads down into the river valley, and you'll come straight to the border station. You'll be treated very professionally, and possibly with preference over the Romanian majority who cross the border to take advantage of the lower Ukrainian prices. Once you cross the border, you'll be in Sighetu Marmaţiei, a charming and secluded town, and from here one can take advantage of the direct train to Braşov/Bucharest that leaves that afternoon around 4-5ish. UPDATE: Starting December 2011 the train from Sighetu Marmatiei to Brasov / Bucharest is found under two different train numbers, but it is still a direct train - you don't have to change trains. The train leaves Sighetu Marmatiei at 17:11 (local time) and arrives to Bucharest at 09:56. You can gett off at Brasov at 04:22. For more info check the Romanian Railways official website: www.infofer.ro)
Lviv is a major railway hub; there are numerous connections not simply between Moscow and Berlin, but southwest towards Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, and Serbia.
