The resulting answer should be
answerDF= pd.DataFrame([['1234','5678','9TJQ'],['ReturnC','ReturnE','ReturnH']]).transpose()
answerDF.columns = ["ID","Result"]
answerDF

This will start off like the question I asked that was answered here
Unfortunately, I can't just match to already found max(date)s, because, for example, in this set, 2017-12-13 17:40:07 is the correct date for the ReturnC row, but that same timestamp is in the ReturnG row (which should not be returned), so if we approach this by flagging "good dates" and then filtering on those, we'll get extra (wrong) results.

A: You could groupby ID among those values where Category is good, and use idxmax to index the dataframe on the latest dates:
exFilterDF.Date = pd.to_datetime(exFilterDF.Date)
m = exFilterDF[exFilterDF.Category.eq('good')].groupby('ID').Date.idxmax()
exFilterDF.loc[m, ['ID', 'Result']]

    ID   Result
2  1234  ReturnC
4  5678  ReturnE
7  9TJQ  ReturnH

Super Tuesday: Four things we learned about US race
Main takeaways from presidential battle which saw gains for Trump and Clinton
Wed, Mar 2, 2016, 10:10 Updated: Wed, Mar 2, 2016, 21:53
Simon Carswell in Miami
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton rolled up a series of big primary wins on Tuesday, as the two presidential front-runners looked to take command of their party nominating battles on the 2016 campaign's biggest night of voting.

The biggest day of the US presidential battle led to the victories for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton but four state wins for Bernie Sanders, three for Ted Cruz and one for Marco Rubio showed that their respective two races are far from over.
Here is what we learned from the marathon day of 12 nominating contests.
Donald Trump can win anywhere
The billionaire showed his early state wins in the north-east (New Hampshire), the west (Nevada) and the south (South Carolina) were far from flukes and that his unconventional campaign can score victories anywhere.
On Super Tuesday, Trump won in Massachusetts in the north-east and Alabama in the Deep South, and, in between, in Virginia where many of the Washington politicians he loves to bash reside. On a Trump map of America, his colours spread further than anyone else's.
What was once unthinkable for the Republican establishment is fast becoming thinkable: Trump the presidential nominee. The bombastic businessman has created an existential crisis for the Republican Party. Senior party figures such as Speaker of the House of the Representatives Paul Ryan and the 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney have come out strongly but perhaps too late to halt his march to November.
The Republican Party's failure to take seriously the businessman as he started building a momentum - or to understand the anger of his supporters - may badly hurt the Grand Old Party in the long run.
Trump appeared to be pivoting his campaign towards moderates and a general election head-to-head against Hillary Clinton when he claimed to be a "unifier" once the Republican primary was over.
Asked whether he was approaching politics like business, adopting an extreme position at first before moderating as a final deal is negotiated, the businessman told reporters in front of a scared-looking Chris Christie: "There is always going to be some negotiation."
Just how can his campaign go?
Hillary Clinton has more than a firewall of minority voters
Clinton, in contrast to 2008 when she lost to Barack Obama, has a huge support base amongst African Americans, so much so that Vermont senator Bernie Sanders doesn't have a similar amount of support among white voters to overcome her advantage.
The south where African Americans and Latinos have an above-average share of the Democratic primary vote helped Clinton win states by commanding leads over Sanders: from a 22-point gap in Texas to an almost 58-point margin in Alabama. She won more than 70 per cent of the black vote and, in most states, by more than 80 per cent.
Clinton performed strongly too among white voters in the south, winning about six in 10 white voters in Alabama and Arkansas and faring well in the rural parts of Virginia, Alabama and Georgia. This bodes well for the second-time presidential candidate heading up to the Rust Belt states and the blue-collar workers of Ohio and Michigan.
Podcast: Simon Carswell reports on Super Tuesday
The confidence that comes from winning 10 of the first 15 states was on show at her victory rally in the Ice Palace film studios in Miami when her focus was very much on Trump, not Sanders.
"Instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers," she said referring to Trump's plan for a walled border with Mexico.
Clinton clearly is setting her sights on the general election.
The Republican and Democratic races are not over
While Trump and Clinton copper-fastened their front-runner status in the respective Republican and Democratic primary races on 'Super Tuesday,' neither has cleared the path fully to the nomination.
Sanders had a good night. Leaving aside his 72-point rout in his home state of Vermont, he picked up the southern state of Oklahoma and bettered his landslide win in New Hampshire with a 23-point victory in Minnesota, where he had devoted much effort recently.
Clinton has an almost 200-delegate lead on Sanders, not including the super-delegates of party leaders and elected officials she has already locked in. With 15 states down, the 74-year-old socialist senator has promised to fight in each of the remaining 35 states and all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July.
He has the money to do it too. He raised more than $42 million in February, doubling his January haul, from 1.4 million donations, averaging $40 a donation. This reflects the spread of his support.
Sanders is also still firing up young people. He performed better among the 18-to-29 year old bracket than Clinton in every state except Alabama. This points again to Clinton's underlying trust problems.
On the Republican side, the three candidates trailing Trump can take something from their Tuesday wins. Texas senator Ted Cruz can point to his 17-point win in his home state and neighbouring Oklahoma as further evidence that he can beat Donald Trump.
Marco Rubio, regarded for most of Tuesday night as the big loser of the 11 state contests, can hold up his late win in Minnesota and a close race in Virginia to sustain him until his home state votes on March 15th.
Ohio governor John Kasich will likely point to his joint second in Massachusetts and runner-up status to Trump in Vermont as reasons to hang in there until his home state votes on the same date as Rubio's.
Trump may have 302 delegates (who will pick the party nominee at the Republican National Convention in July) to Cruz's 174 and Rubio's 104 but the big winner-take-all states of Ohio and Florida on March 15th could open the race up again - if Trump loses. That may be a big 'if'; he leads by 19 points in the polls in Florida and five in Ohio.
With 15 states down and 35 to go, five candidates are still going on with no signs of the field being winnowed further. That helps Trump.
The Republican establishment needs a better anti-Trump candidate
Trump eked out a win in Arkansas by a measly two points, but this was Ted Cruz country and if the first-time senator is, as he believes the only viable alternative to the New York billionaire, then he should have been clocking landslides against Trump among evangelicals and others.
There are few big southern states left where his Bible-thumping, Washington-baiting campaign might play well. It is hard to see how he can unite the conservative and establishment wings of the party - or even win a general election - given his failure to create any kind of broad coalition so far to mount a strong challenge to The Donald.
Las night Cruz called on everyone but Trump to "prayerfully consider" dropping out so the party could consolidate around him.
In reality, the 45-year-old senator risks going the way of Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012 when, despite early wins, their support base did not extend beyond evangelical voters.
Slagging Trump off over his bad spelling, small hands and fake tan over recent days appears to have done Marco Rubio little good. He won in Minnesota but only after the TV pundits - and Trump naturally - dismissed him as the biggest loser of the night. He carried on his attacks on Trump on television late last night, calling the businessman "a world-class con artist." It all seemed a bit desperate at times.
But Rubio survived Survival Night. If Trump beats him in Florida, he'll be out. Fox News and other conservative media were reporting yesterday that Florida governor Rick Scott was preparing to endorse Trump. If it happens, that would really kill off Rubio's chances.
And one thing we didn't learn from Super Tuesday….
Why Ben Carson is still in the race? The retired neurosurgeon has his place in the after-dinner speaking circuit of former presidential candidate assured and has done more than enough to promote his books. The conservative made it out of single digits in just two states on Super Tuesday - Alaska and Alabama - and still came fourth in each.
"Millions of Americans plead with me to continue," said Carson in a statement.
It seems the Republican Party elders are not among them. It was reported last night by CNN senior party operatives were planning to encourage him to drop out of the presidential race and instead run for a US Senate seat for Florida, where he lives.
Desperate times require desperate measures.

In a time and a country where a frog can rule the charts, this is a timely reminder that good riffs, well scripted words and a pounding rhythm section can restore your belief in good old fashioned rock and roll. This album is the spritual brother of Definately Maybe, with the messiah as it's sister. Whether it's a soaring ballad or a cacophonous wall of sound rocker, this album delivers.


NEW YORK — John Ashbery, an enigmatic genius of modern poetry whose energy, daring and boundless command of language raised American verse to brilliant and baffling heights, died early Sunday at age 90.
Ashbery, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and often mentioned as a Nobel candidate, died at his home in Hudson, New York, his family told The Associated Press. His husband, David Kermani, said his death was from natural causes.
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, which is handling publicity for a new biography of Ashbery, "The Songs We Know Best: John Ashbery's Early Life," confirmed the poet's death on Sunday night.
Few poets were so exalted in their lifetimes. Ashbery was the first living poet to have a volume published by the Library of America dedicated exclusively to his work. His 1975 collection, "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror," was the rare winner of the book world's unofficial triple crown: the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle prize. In 2011, he was given a National Humanities Medal and credited with changing "how we read poetry."
Among a generation that included Richard Wilbur, W.S. Merwin and Adrienne Rich, Ashbery stood out for his audacity and for his wordplay, for his modernist shifts between high oratory and everyday chatter, for his humor and wisdom and dazzling runs of allusions and sense impressions.
"No figure looms so large in American poetry over the past 50 years as John Ashbery," Langdon Hammer wrote in The New York Times in 2008. "Ashbery's phrases always feel newly minted; his poems emphasize verbal surprise and delight, not the ways that linguistic patterns restrict us."
But to love Ashbery, it helped to make sense of Ashbery, or least to get caught up enough in such refrains as "You are freed/including barrels/heads of the swan/forestry/the night and stars fork" not to worry about their meaning.
Writing for Slate, the critic and poet Meghan O'Rourke advised readers "not to try to understand the poems but to try to take pleasure from their arrangement, the way you listen to music." Writer Joan Didion once attended an Ashbery reading simply because she wanted to determine what the poet was writing about.
"I don't find any direct statements in life," Ashbery once explained to The Times of London. "My poetry imitates or reproduces the way knowledge or awareness comes to me, which is by fits and starts and by indirection. I don't think poetry arranged in neat patterns would reflect that situation."
Interviewed by The Associated Press in 2008, Ashbery joked that if he could turn his name into a verb, "to Ashbery," it would mean "to confuse the hell out of people."
Ashbery also was a highly regarded translator and critic. At various times, he was the art critic for The New York Herald-Tribune in Europe, New York magazine and Newsweek and the poetry critic for Partisan Review. He translated works by Arthur Rimbaud, Raymond Roussel and numerous other French writers. He was a teacher for many years, including at Brooklyn College, Harvard University and Bard College.
Starting at boarding school, when a classmate submitted his work (without his knowledge) to Poetry magazine, Ashbery enjoyed a long and productive career, so fully accumulating words in his mind that he once told the AP that he rarely revised a poem once he wrote it down. More than 30 Ashbery books were published after the 1950s, including poetry, essays, translations and a novel, "A Nest of Ninnies," co-written with the poet James Schuyler.


Jalopnik Detroit writer Aaron Foley is a national treasure, that much is settled Fact. Every goddamned day he brings the perspective of someone who actually lives in Detroit, an incredibly complex city, and it's a task that can seem daunting. So when another Gawker Media writer messes up, he takes them to task as well.
Dayna Evans, to her credit, has done great work in the past and was totally apologetic and forthcoming in updating the original post, but this rant is a beautiful cri de coeur for anyone that lives in Michigan, and it feels as if it's directed at not just our colleagues at Gawker, but the entire world. It's too easy to see the entire state as one big desolate wasteland, covered by the vast ruins of MegaDetroit where nobody but incompetent auto executives live, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
I was originally a bit reluctant to share this to the front page of Jalopnik, seeing how the primary post on Gawker was corrected so quickly, but the words about Detroit, Pontiac, and Michigan still ring true in general. So here it is.
Oh, and it doesn't hurt that it's totally hilarious.


Hyderabad(PTI): The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Saturday decided to expand its reach in neighbouring states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and also in Andaman and Nicobar Islands in order to establish it as a national party.
The decision was taken in a party's Polit Bureau meeting chaired by TDP president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, in which it decided to launch membership drives in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which have a sizable population of people of Telugu origin.
"Membership drive will start in the neighbouring states this month. It will be held in Bangalore and Chennai on May 10 from 10 AM and 4 PM onwards, respectively. In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, it will take place on May 14," senior TDP leader Payyavula Keshav told reporters after the meeting.
A three-member committee, headed by senior party leader and State finance minster Y Ramakrishnudu, will undertake a study on efforts and strategies required to make TDP as a national party. TDP supporters have already been conducting activities in the neighbouring states.
Coordinator for TDP's workers' welfare fund, Lokesh, son of Naidu, said the party has provided insurance benefit to over 500 activists who lost their lives in last few years. Lokesh's work as the coordinator was also acknowledged by the Polit Bureau during the meeting.
He said he will present an action plan on steps to be taken for welfare activities of workers. Meanwhile, TDP's annual convention 'Mahanadu' would be held in Hyderabad for three days at its traditional venue- Gandipet this year, added Lokesh.
The 30-year-old party, founded by legendary actor NT Rama Rao in 1982, is a part of the NDA government at Centre and is the major opposition party in Telangana.

Q: How can I make the printer not turn the sheet if I print a single page?
*

*OS: Arch Linux

*uname -r: 5.5.4-arch1-1

*pacman -Q hplip: hplip 1:3.19.12-1
I usually leave the setting for printing double-sided on "Long Edge" or whatever exactly it is called in English.
Printing a document which has only 1 page makes the printer print the document in double-sided mode, which is expected behavior. So the printer then prints one page of the document, turns the sheet, does not print anything on the empty page and then ejects it.
Is it possible to have the printer/driver automatically recognize that the document is only 1 page long and can get printed in single-sided mode, i.e. without the sheet turn?


The Plumbline: You want this!
Companies do indeed invest big money into making sure that they are recognizable in the community they serve by the "brand" they have invested time, talent, and energies into creating. They flash their names and photos on billboards, run numerous commercials, wrap vehicles in their 'branding', and send out mailers advertising their product. All these efforts are aimed at one thing - getting us to notice their product and show an interest in it that rises above the interest we have for any other 'similar' product. It is kind of like what God said through Moses so many years ago - "Set yourselves apart..." God was telling us to be known by our "branding" - that which makes us uniquely different from those around us and makes people want what it is that we possess.
In the advertising world, branding begins with having a quality product that others will want as there is no use in spending time and talent 'branding' something that is inferior or simply not useful to those who are your target 'users' of the product. If the product is shoddy, no matter how much you invest into "branding", it will be a waste of your efforts. The product must be top-notch - there is little use in investing big capital into branding something that is just not going to measure up. Branding involves being visible in the community - the idea is getting as many people to take notice, if even ever so slightly influencing their subconscious mind. The advertising gurus will probably assure us that the more your brand is exposed to the public, the better. Companies invest huge sums of monies and talent into getting their product before the public. Why? It cements the brand with an image. An image speaks more than a catchy advertising phrase. Why? People associate with what they see more than they do with what they hear. Branding involves a commitment to provide a product that the community REALLY needs. A market inundated with similar products that are not well-differentiated from other products finds that they will go for that product that requires the least investment on their part - especially if there is no difference appreciable.
From God's perspective, he is only creating quality products - our passage points out several characteristics that will ensure that our "product" passes the "quality" test. Doing what God tells us involves living as God tells us, so that we are ensured there will be a product that can neither be labeled as "shoddy", nor a waste of efforts. Obedience produces within us what all the efforts at self-improvement could not - life transformation. Nothing is more appealing to someone without hope than to see what having a solid basis for hope can produce. God also makes us visible to others - often while we are going through some 'life-change' in which he is moving in our lives to produce a consistent picture of his grace and restorative power. Our passage does not imply that we are to live on a commune and never associate with others. Being set apart does not mean that we get "weird". It carries the idea that we have something that makes us "unique" - we stand above the rest. There is clearly a place for association with others in the faith, but that should not be our only association. Others need to see Christ in us - that exposure to Christ may be the only exposure they may have.
Another important principle in branding a product is this idea of supply and demand. Where the demand is high, the assumption is that you are creating a product that someone really needs - a unique product that no one else offers, but that everyone needs. There are a lot of "religions" in the world - organized and informal. What sets a Christ-follower out as unique is the ability of being "holy" as God is holy. Holiness is evident in a life that is changed by the Spirit of God within. The ability to steer clear of the gossip chain, the tendency to shy away from coarse or off-color jokes, or the simplicity of making ethical choices because that is the way you have come to live - these seem simple enough, but they serve to set us apart from other "religions" in the world. It is more than doing good deeds for the sake of doing them - it is a matter of engaging in right conduct because that is what stems from the core of your inner man.
How do we live in such a way that others see something in us that makes them want what we have been given? We allow God to live in us - we allow him to make us holy (branding at its best!). Set apart lives are not "branded" in some weird way, but are uniquely beautiful and appealing to others who will want to be in relationship with the 'product' that has been produced. Others want what we have allowed to be worked out in our lives because they see a sense of hope for their own life. That is what God wants of us - to give the world hope. Hope is best understood when it is exemplified - there is a "product" people can connect with. Believe it or not, you are a "product" of God's grace. Let your life be displayed as set apart for his service, dedicated to his love, and uniquely touched by his grace. Others will be drawn to him through your example. Just sayin!

Hirotaka Shirotsubaki - Last Goodbye
Last Goodbye by Hirotaka Shirotsubaki
The Heisei period is the current era in Japan. It period started on 11 of January 1989 after the death of the Emperor Hirohito, when his son, Akihito, acceded to the throne as the 125th Emperor. The Heisei period will likely end on 30 April 2019 (Heisei 31), the date on which Emperor Akihito is expected to abdicate the Chrysanthemum Throne and pass it to his son, Naruhito.
For composer Hirotaka Shirotsubaki this era has been hugely important. He grew up throughout it and now needs to prepare for a new era. In tribute of that, 'Last Goodbye' celebrates and parts way with the old. The result is a beautiful and melancholic ambient album.
The album contains six tracks, each one breathing a gloomy, nostalgic atmosphere. Very early in opener 'Autumn Blanket', ambient pioneer Biosphere comes to mind but throughout the rest of the album that reference gradually fades away. Hirotaka Shirotsubaki delivers a more minimal approach, with meandering soundscapes and soothing guitar drones. On 'Rokko', these drones come close to the calmest pieces of people like Aidan Baker and Dirk Serries, something I can only admire.
There is a lot of emotion hidden beneath these compositions, which results in an immersive and rich sound, one that every fan of ambient music will appreciate. Picking a favorite track is difficult. The bright yet wintery soundscapes of 'Solitude' are beautiful but so is everything else here. If I have to pick, it will be either 'Rokko' or the mildly pulsating closer 'Sputnik'. What is certain, however, is the fact that these tracks will definitely appear in my day-to-day playlist from now on. I suggest you do the same.

Heart of Dixie actor Wilson Bethel has been cast in Daredevil season 3 in an unnamed - but "critical" - role, according to Variety.
Bethel's unnamed character is said to be an FBI agent who, in Variety's words, "plays a critical role in the conflict between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, better known as Daredevil and Kingpin respectively."
Variety linked Bethel's role to a reported leakedcasting call for an FBI agent which, according to the trade, bore some resemblance to the Sin-Eater, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who took an experimental drug that drove him insane. In comic books, Sin-Eater was investigated by reporter Eddie Brock, whose misreporting of Sin-Eater's identity led him to become Venom.
It is not confirmed whether the character in the purported cast list is Sin-Eater, A.K.A. Stanley Carter, or if Bethel will be playing the potential FBI character in the casting call.
Daredevil season 3 is currently in production, with no set release date.

What is an A minor Chord played at 3rd fret?
I am playing an Am shaped chord on guitar at 3rd fret but I dont know what this chord is called.
Does anyone know the name?
Just to make it super clear, can you state what fret you're playing on each string? Or you could use something like marchantpeter.co.uk/guitar-chord-diagrams.php to make a diagram. There are online tools like jguitar.com/chordname that will attempt to name chords for you.
I assume you are starting with this, very common, A Minor chord shape:
If so, moving the fretted notes up two frets, so that your first finger is now on fret 3, rather than fret 1, gives the following chord, with the two open strings remaining unchanged:
It should be noted that, as with many chords, this chord could be described, and so named, in a number of ways. It's usually best to name a chord in the simplest way possible. This may not always have the root as the bass note. Instead the simplest description of a chord may have a different note to the root named as the bass note, as is the case here, where B is the root (of the minor triad), but the bass note is written as A, using slash chord notation.
If you did want the note A to be the root of this chord, you would end up with a name like A6add9sus4 (which is, in fact, the name my notation software, Sibelius, suggested for this chord).
Sometimes the best name for a chord may be suggested by context. If, for instance, this chord were preceded by a B Minor chord in a progression, you would again definitely be thinking of this chord as Bm with a different bass note. (In other words, the chord and its name remain the same, but the bass note changes, requiring slash notation.)
Bob BroadleyBob Broadley
I think you nailed it Bob. I use this chord in some songs as a substitute for a Bm chord - sometimes sliding the Am shape from the Am to the Bm4/A.
– Rockin Cowboy
One of the bands I work with uses this chord in Summertime, second half of bars one and two at least, so it could be construed to be an A chord derivative, in that context, maybe?
– Tim
The kind of chord does not change with the fret, so it's still a minor chord. It's three semitones up from A (which it would be at fret 0 because of its A shape), so it's Cm.
I previously put this as an answer, but OP said that this is not what they meant, so I deleted it.
Yes, I misunderstood this at first, too...
– Bob Broadley
this is also a D6 chord so depending on the chords before an after it might be that. In the case of summertime the top two notes fretted are a part of the E7 chord so if played with the open top E string it replaces the E7 usually called for in that song. the fretted D string is an Fsharp which is not part of the E7 so don't know how that is ok.
Steven de HaasSteven de Haas
Looking at the notation Bob Bradley's answer if you omit the high E string it could also very easily be a B minor chord with its seventh added in last inversion ie B-D-F#-A with a A in the bass. (The 4/2 notation)

Hiredis is a free, open source and minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. Hiredis is minimalistic because it just adds minimal support for the protocol, but at the same time it uses an high level printf-alike API in order to make it much higher level than otherwise suggested by its minimal code base and the lack of explicit bindings for every Redis command. Apart from supporting sending commands and receiving replies, it comes with a reply parser that is decoupled from the I/O layer. It is a stream parser designed for easy reusability, which can for instance be used in higher level language bindings for efficient reply parsing.

Q: How to determine if a BlackBerry device has Bis-B access? I have a BlackBerry app that performs a variety of tasks by accessing various network resources.  I have a new requirement for the app that one of these tasks has to connect to the Internet via Bis-B, and if the device isn't able to do Bis-B the app should not allow the user to perform the task in the first place.
The way to connect via Bis-B is to append this to the URL you are trying to access:
;deviceside=false;ConnectionType=mds-public

For devices that are on Bis-B this URL suffix works and the connection is made through Bis-B.
The problem that I'm having is with devices that aren't on Bis-B.  I had assumed that if I appended the above to the URL and then attempted to connect, the attempt would fail (and I could then trap it and use that to determine that the device isn't on Bis-B).  Unfortunately, what actually happens is that the first one or two attempts succeed, but the second or third attempt fails with "Network could not be detected. Please try again later."  After this happens, all subsequent network requests fail with the same message, even the calls that don't use the Bis-B URL suffix.  After 10-15 minutes something seems to clear up and then all non-Bis-B network requests start working again.
So I'm naturally puzzled, and I'm looking for some way to reliable detect whether or not a device is on Bis-B.  I know that the devices themselves can tell, because the wifi icon in the upper right corner of the BB screen is bright white if the device is on Bis-B and gray when it isn't.

I have found the blackberry dots indicate whether you are on BIS or not.   They will appear next to the 3g/edge indicator if BIS is routing over the cellular network, or they will appear next to the wifi indicator if BIS is routing over wifi.

I'm looking for some way to reliable detect whether or not a device is on Bis-B.

CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() returns a bitfield, and one of the bits is CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_BIS_B.  My understanding is this bit corresponds to the blackberry dots appearing in the connection status area of the home screen.

Kill Devil Hills NC to Ocracoke NC (1575 miles so far)
April 22, 2005 Colin
I walked down to the beach this morning to photograph our last sunrise in the Kill Devil Hills area. It wasn't a spectacular sunrise — there were just too many clouds to make a real pretty sunrise like we'd seen yesterday in Corolla — but I did enjoy watching the birds gathering food from whatever had washed up on the shore.
The other thing I saw were the pelicans. I had no idea that pelicans flew in formation, much like Canadian geese. That was cool to see, and I was in awe of the beautiful majesty of these avian giants as they flew overhead from one end of the beach to the other. Truly beautiful.
I returned to the hotel room and woke Darla. We got ready, packed, checked out, and headed off for breakfast. We'd seen a place yesterday called Bob's Grill, whose motto was "Eat and Get the Hell Out". We figured we couldn't pass up an opportunity like that, so we stopped in for some huge blueberry pancakes and coffee that could've stood up and walked on its own. Still, a good start for the day. We ate, and got the hell out.
On the slate today was a visit to the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, and possibly the Ocracoke Lighthouse if our schedule worked out. Agressive, but doable.
We drove south on Highway 12, and stopped along the way at the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. This is an immense area of land that is Atlantic Ocean shores on the east side, and just a few hundred yards west becomes a marshland that is incredibly full of life — birds, turtles, snakes… you name it, they had it. Darla and I walked along the beach, looking at seashells, and watching a huge bunch of birds floating on the water farther up the beach. We walked up toward them, shoes in hand, and photographed as it seemed necessary.
For me, the most impressive part of this place were the pelicans. These giant birds were flying just inches above the ocean froth, in the troughs between waves. Dipping and diving, they were amazing to watch as they flew, almost on patrol, up and down the coastline. I could've watched them for hours.
We discovered that the Kuralt Trail has been set up through the outer banks to immortalize the memory of Charles Kuralt. He was a journalist for CBS, and was host of CBS' Sunday Morning for many, many years. He was one of my favorites, and I really enjoyed his broadcasts and books. It's nice to see him remembered in this way.
We pulled ourselves away from the teeming life in Pea Island NWR, and continued down Highway 12 toward Hatteras. Of course, all that fresh air made us hungry, and we started watching for someplace to have lunch. This stretch of drive is pretty desolate from a human perspective, so the places were few and far between. We finally ran across a place called the Down Under Restaurant and Bar in Rodanthe. It looked to be an Aussie joint, and had some of the best sweet tea we found on the trip. (Which, BTW, was a terrific perk on this trip — no one looked at you strange when you ordered sweet tea, and you didn't have too many places that only served unsweetened tea, and told you the sugar was on the table. Sweet tea is its own amazing combination of ingredients, and no amount of unsweetened tea and table sweetener can come close to duplicating it.) I opted for a Roo Burger — yup, marsupial on a bun. Good, somewhat drier, kinda like buffalo meat, and supposedly a lot less fat. A little thinner than I would've liked — especially for $10 — but I can now put one more animal on my personal endangered species list! 🙂
We also stopped in Frisco at Scotch Bonnet Candies. This was a huge shop with every rubber snake known to man, but what will stick in my memory is the fudge. They have incredible fudge, made right there…. soft, moist…. wonderful stuff! In fact, it's so good that it was recently featured on the Food Network's Food Finds show. Apparently, this exposure has been keeping them a little busy, but they still seemed to have time to chat with us and make us feel real welcome.
We drove on down Highway 12 to the well-known Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This is a massive lighthouse, recently moved from it's original location due to coastal erosion. We walked around the grounds, and had kinda decided not to climb it, as Becky was still a little under the weather. The more we talked about it though, the more I wanted to climb the 250+ steps up the interior. I bought my ticket and started climbing. The first couple of landings were easy. By halfway, I was huffing and puffing, and a couple of landings from the top, I had to take a rest — fortunately, the temperature was about 65 inside, so that wasn't too brutal. I climbed the rest of the steps, and emerged onto the viewing platform. What a view! You could see both the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound, as well as the town of Hatteras. The wind was blowing strongly at the top, which made things a little chilly, but that felt great after ascending 200 feet vertically. I am thrilled that I hiked up this lighthouse! Much like we did with one of the pyramids in Mexico, I turned, waved to Darla on the ground, and we took each other's pictures, and then began the much easier descent.
We drove to the old site of the lighthouse (before its move), but I still had jelly legs from the climb. Darla got out, and shot the old site, as well as shooting the lighthouse as viewed from there. I drank tons of water, and we headed south again.
Near the tip of the island, we came to our first ferry ride, a 40-minute jaunt between Hatteras and Ocracoke Island. All the way, the gulls followed us — dozens of them! At times they would get so close you could almost touch them. Great opportunity for taking a few closeup photos.
Once we got to Ocracoke Island, we drove a bit, and stopped to see the Banker Ponies. These are part of a wild herd that could be the descendants of horses brought from Spain in the 16th century. When the ships would get in trouble, the first thing to be tossed over to lighten the load was the livestock. I guess the theory is that the ponies swam to shore, and started their new, wilder lives. The herd is restricted in size, and where we stopped, we were able to look at them pretty close up.
Driving on down Highway 12, we finally got to the little hamlet of Ocracoke. This was a tiny little place, and kinda felt like you'd been tossed back in time forty years. Almost everyone was walking or riding bikes from place to place on tiny roads that were barely big enough for a couple of cars to pass each other.
We found our hotel, the Bluff Shoal Motel. This was a little throwback strip-like hotel with a dozen or so rooms, filled with the quaintness that this village exuded — a small bed, a tiny fridge and tv, a window air conditioner, panelling on the walls, and a phone stand next to the bed. It was like stepping back into the 1960s!
We asked the desk clerk where we could get a nice dinner, and she suggested the Pony Island Restaurant. We drove the really long five minute drive up to the restaurant and were seated quickly. I kinda felt a little like an outsider, as everyone seemed to know everyone else — lotsa conversations crossing between tables.
We listened to the waitress answer questions about property values in Ocracoke. She has a little piece of land, with a single-wide on it. The trailer was worth almost nothing, but the land value was over $350k! She was talking about how the property taxes are out of sight in Ocracoke — with land values like that, I can see why. We kinda figured that the only way you could have a place down there, and work as a seasonal worker, or shop cashier, or waitress was that your family gave you the land for your home.
After some good grub, we drove to the Ocracoke Lighthouse, which was being lit up by a early evening setting sun. This one has a little strip of land that gives you access to it, while being surrounded by old homes. The lighthouse isn't terribly remarkable, but it was fun to add another one to our list.
I thought that sunset might be pretty, so we drove to the ferry landing to see what we could see. I really thought the clouds were gonna be like the clouds we photographed at sunrise in Corolla, but they were too thick, so the sun simply disappeared behind them. Oh well! It was still nice — although a little chilly for Darla.
We drove back to the hotel, and ran to the hotel's dock to look at the lighthouse across the bay, and enjoy the simple pleasures of a quiet night in a quiet hamlet.

ED: What does Pakistan benefit from supporting militants?
admin May 13, 2017	Editorial Leave a comment 42 Views
Editorial: Press Freedom at Risk
Editorial: Lowest Level Since 2001
The recent remark of the US officials regarding Pakistan-based terrorists is at somehow projecting America's interest in bringing peace in Afghanistan by eliminating their (militants) hideouts in Pakistan soil. A top US spymaster has said that Pakistan-based terrorists groups are "planning to attack" both India and Afghanistan. Islamabad has failed to curb militants and terrorists in Pakistan, Daniel Coats, Director of the US National Intelligence told members of the United States Senate Select Committee of Intelligence during a Congressional hearing on Worldwide threats. These terrorists would defiantly sustained threat to the United States' interest in the region. This remark by high-ranking US military official has sent a clear message to the two time-tested friends—Afghanistan and India, aimed at taking actions against these militants in international level— a move which surly benefits Afghanistan. Since long time Pakistan-based terrorists have killed and wounded a large numbers of Afghans. But this time this should be taken seriously. The government of Afghanistan and the people knows that Pakistan our neighbor is becoming jellies when sees Kabul and New Delhi enjoying good relations. Afghanistan once was known for its functioning as the economic corridor for the Silk Road and other ancient trade routes in the region; still we are on that position, but since Pakistan supporting militants to have bullets in their weapons to continue their irrational war, Afghanistan has less opportunity to focus on economy, and use this golden opportunity. Though, Afghanistan is a landlocked country, but located in a strategic location, connecting Central Asia to South Asia and East Asia to West Asia. The dark side is that militants are at large in Afghanistan. Pakistan is the main reason behind their presence, as they (militants) are being supporting by the Pakistan covertly and overtly. The country can't deny the fact of harboring and supporting militants. What Pakistan really looking forward to gain via militancy. Why the country is supporting Taliban, al-Qaeda, Islamic State (IS) and i.e. Afghanistan always had positive intention toward Pakistan, and tried best to mend the rusting ties. President Ashraf Ghani visited Pakistan soon after assuming office, but he frustrated as Pakistan have never renounced supporting militants. The Afghan government and the people are very much eager to know why Pakistan is hell-being in destroying Afghanistan via supporting insurgents. If Pakistan dreaming to have control on Afghanistan in the interest of spreading its political, economic, and ideological hegemony in the region—it is better for her to wake up form a dream which never come true. If this is what Pakistan wants, so it's impossible? It is time for Pakistan to put an end to its security dilemma with Kabul and New Delhi, instead destroy militant's safe havens in its soil. Pakistan has to think that what the country has benefited from supporting militancy. Nothing at all, but has earned bad name of supporting militancy. Since it is cleared that Pakistan-based terrorist are at eyes of carrying out attacks in two friendly countries, US, India, and Afghanistan should officially send warning letters to Pakistan, asking its high-profile military officials to take serious action against militants, or in case of negligent, serious action would be taken against Pakistan itself. In view of the fact that Pakistan is taking India as its enemy, here is worth mentioning that Indo-Afghan relations are among the few bilateral ties that include elements of civilizational, emotional and strategic imperatives and bonds.

TOTTENHAM hope to discover the extent of Jan Vertgonhen's ankle injury on Tuesday – but are already planning for Saturday's clash at Manchester City without him.
The Spurs defender rolled his ankle in the second half of his side's 4-0 win over West Brom on Saturday.
And Belgian stalwart Vertonghen, who was wincing with pain as club medics helped him back to the dressing room, underwent a scan on Monday.
Tottenham expect to get the results today, but have already ruled him out of this weekend's clash at City.
White Hart Lane boss Mauricio Pochettino said after the game he feared his Belgian ace had suffered ligament damage.
Harry Kane posts innocent snap from Chelsea win... but where is Vertonghen's hand going?
If that is the case then Vertonghen is likely to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
It would be a cruel blow for the centre-back who also suffered a bad injury last January, which ruled him out for 12 weeks last season.
Pochettino insists he will not be forced into the transfer market to sign a replacement as he already has Kevin Wimmer and Ben Davies who can fill Vertonghen's role.
The 30-year-old has been a near ever-present this season as Pochettino's men mount a serious title charge for the second season in succession.


QINGDAO (China), June 10 (APP):President Mamnoon Hussain Saturday unveiled at Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit a five-point roadmap to achieve durable peace, development and stability in the region through enhanced connectivity, shared prosperity, trade and people to people contacts.
He was addressing the plenary session of the 18th Meeting of the Council of Heads of States of Shanghai Cooperation Organization held here at Qingdao International Conference Centre which was attended by heads of states of eight member countries and observer states and representatives from international organizations.
Spelling out the roadmap of priorities, the president said trust building was pivotal to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region, besides helping generate economic activity and enhance regional trade.
He viewed that the development projects should not be viewed though a myopic geopolitical angle.
He said the countries should wholeheartedly support all regional development and connectivity projects including the Belt and Road Initiative and its flagship project, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
By resolutely following the guiding principles of Shanghai Spirit of shared development and prosperity, the SCO countries should strive to alleviate poverty, support weaker economies of the region and combat terrorism and extremism.
SCO Development Bank and Fund could contribute to this endeavor, he added.
President Mamnoon told the summit that SCO Business Council would help promote business-to-business contacts in various sectors.
Similarly, they should explore the possibility of introducing a SCO visa regime for businessmen, he added.
Moreover, the president said the SCO states should initiate special programs for skill development of youth and take concrete steps for promoting meaningful people-to-people contacts especially among the youth.
He told the international gathering that the improvement of law and order situation in Pakistan over the past few years had provided a secure environment for investment and business.
Contrary to the global economic trends, he said, Pakistan's economy had achieved great economic successes resulting in energy production and highest GDP growth rate of last decade this year.
He said the international financial institutions had noted this positive performance.
Similarly, our agriculture and services sectors has shown robust growth.
Pakistan has been ranked first in the region and fifth at the global level as a destination for private investment in infrastructure development.
President Mamnoon told the summit that peace and stability in Afghanistan was a shared concern of SCO member states.
"We believe this is only possible through an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process. The reactivation of SCO's Contact Group of Afghanistan is a welcome step," he remarked.
For its best, Pakistan would continue to lend full support for promoting peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan had welcomed President Ghani's announcement of ceasefire and initiative of unconditional offer for peace talks to the Taliban.
"I am pleased to inform that Pakistan has embarked on a bilateral Action Plan for Peace, Security and Stability with Afghanistan. We hope that these efforts will bear fruits and contribute to peace in Afghanistan," the president said.
He said the SCO's regional Anti-terrorism structure was an expression of their concerns on extremism and terrorism and Pakistan was ready to share its experiences of successful counter terrorism campaign with SCO states.
Highlighting the issue of drug trafficking, the president believed that the adoption of the decisions on this issue at today's summit was a great achievement and its implementation would contribute to our efforts to control the menace of illicit drugs in the region.
Thanking the Chinese people, government and President Xi Jinping for organizing the multi-purpose summit, the president said in order to mark this momentous occasion, Pakistan had issued a special commemorative postage stamp.
He said SCO occupied a unique place among international organizations established for regional security and prosperity.
"Within a short span, it has become a platform for exemplary inter-state and people-to-people cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, regional security, connectivity and sustainable development," the president commented.
He said Pakistan had been successful in meeting the Memorandum of Obligations to SCO in a timely manner.
He said Pakistan's strategic location, access to the Indian Ocean and huge consumer market has further enhanced these opportunities.
"Our success has been bolstered by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, participation in Central Asian regional connectivity projects like TAPI and CASA 1000 and the upward trajectory in our growth rate will continue," he remarked.
Besides adopting the "Vision 2025" which sets framework for progress in all sectors of the economy, the president said the government was developing nine industrial zones in different areas of Pakistan to enhance industrial productivity and provide economic stability.
He said in the past few years democratic institutions and values had strengthened in Pakistan.
"These days the nation is in electoral process. We hope that completion of this process will further enhance political and economic stability which will have a positive impact on the region," he said.
He believed that the historically rich SCO nations would stand shoulder to shoulder against contemporary global challenges and Pakistan would continue to play its role for regional peace and prosperity.

Hello folks! Quick post today to show you the card I have created for the design team call over at iCopic! Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed!
I have put up a bunch of pictures of it because I couldn't decide if it looked better in the sun or out of it! Enjoy looking!
I just loved all the glitter on this piece of cardstock I picked up at the local craft store called Sweet Love by Little Yellow Bicycle.
I am entering this into these challenges as well!
Oh how sweet this is! I love how the embellie flower matches the one on the paper, and that lovely green ribbon! Good luck with the DT call!
Hi Kendra! What a gorgeous card! I love your take on our sketch this week and your colouring is fantastic. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for joining us at FnF this week.
Hi Kendra, I love this, you have a brilliant blog.I love it, I am the Carole S who is trying to enter my cards into the Things with wings challenge on Dream Valley, I saw your comment, Cob has tried to tell me how to sort out the post, but I am stuck, I went to delete the red crosses as she said but someone has done that accept fot one 107 but 111 was the right blog address. I will leave it tonight (M.S. bad) I am tired, and I will try tomorrow, if I can just put one of those up it would be the Easter one I thnk. but short of making a new post and putting them seperate then adding them I do not know what else to do, by for now, love Carole S.
Brilliant card and adore this image. Many thanks for playing along with Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week.
This is stunning! The image is perfect againts these yummy "GOTTA" have papers!
Lovely! The distressed edges gives the card that little extra, and I love it!


It started by booking for my treatment. When I got to the spa, welcome drink was served. First you have to change inside their beautiful locker room, then you get to shower, use the sauna and steam room. You can also take a dip in their private pool and Jacuzzi while waiting for your treatment. After that relaxing trip to the sauna, you get to proceed to the waiting room where you will be fetched by your assigned therapist. She will then guide you to your treatment room. Then the magic Starts! – I dozed off, snored, and probably drooled a little – while enjoying my super relaxing Aum Deep tissue Massage! Every Stroke was perfect and heavenly! After the massage, you get to enjoy another round of tea on a Kenneth Cobonpue creation while you wait for the shuttle which will take you back to your villa. :) Talk about Fancy!
Yes, the prices were steep but definitely worth every penny!
That sounds so relaxing. Just reading ti put me in a different mood. I want to treat myself to an extended stay at this spa one day. I like the setting and I guess you were treated well.
I think every man or woman should be able to enjoy something like this on occasion, if not more often. We all work so hard. We deserve a time of relaxation to recharge our batteries and get us ready for more challenges.
Very familiar place. I think my friends are here. I prefer to stay in the sauna. This is my favorite place http://wellcum.at/en/gallery/ . Here you can see what awaits you in the sauna.

(REUTERS) - Triple Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has been called upon by his Mercedes team to appear at Thursday's (Oct 20) official press conference for this weekend's US Grand Prix, two weeks after refusing to take questions from the media in Japan.
Hamilton triggered a media spat at the Japanese Grand Prix when he was criticised for playing on his phone during a news conference, using the Snapchat app, taking pictures of fellow drivers and complaining of the boring format of the event.
He then walked out of a media briefing after hitting out at "disrespectful" criticism of his behaviour by journalists, telling several he was "not here to answer your questions".
The 31-year-old was upset after journalists took to social media to criticise his use of Snapchat and has since blocked several Formula One journalists on Twitter.
However, Mercedes have included the reigning champion in the media schedule, released by the team, for Thursday's FIA event in Austin, Texas.
He is also scheduled to take part in separate post-qualifying and post-race media briefings.
Hamilton, who finished third in Suzuka, is 33 points behind team mate Nico Rosberg in the world championship with four races remaining, meaning that even if he wins every one, Rosberg could still deny him a fourth title by finishing second in each race.


One of the biggest challenges any IT manager faces in the normal course of operations is deciding when to upgrade to the latest version of software. This rings especially true for key components in your infrastructure like Windows Server 2016 or VMware vSphere 6.5.
Both of these products were released in the last six months and present all IT managers with the "to upgrade or not to upgrade" dilemma. For many the answer is typically driven by operational need or end-of-life support.
vSphere 6.5 does provide a number of new capabilities IT managers will want to investigate. One of the biggest is the new encryption options.
Security remains at the top of the risk list for every organization, and encrypted virtual machines plus encrypted vMotion is a step in the right direction. As this is the first release for this new option, you will probably find the implementation very much in the "early" stage.
An example is configuration of pieces like the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) Server. This is a requirement in order to use VM encryption and is not provided by VMware. While a number of alternatives, including open source offerings and a Docker container do exist, they all require additional effort outside the normal installation and upgrade process.
The other big piece of this version is the release of vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC). This capability brings the world of containers as an option for VMware customers to include full compatibility with the Docker ecosystem.
One interesting point to note here is the relationship between the open source and the official release builds of VIC. Only the official release versions are supported by VMware Global Support and require a vSphere Enterprise Plus license. While this does make sense for a production environment, it could cause potential conflicts if the development environment is using the latest version and tries to push a non-supported feature to production.
The basic installation of ESXi 6.5 is the same as in previous versions. The process involves booting from the base installation ISO and answering a few questions. You should have your host system up and running in under ten minutes.
We tested this method using two HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8 boxes. The nice thing about testing this with the HPE machines is the ability to use the virtual media option with the iLO Integrated Remote Console app (see Figure 1).
We upgraded the memory in each to 16 GB with parts provided by Kingston and Crucial. VMware offers custom HPE ESXi 6.5 install images, which load the proper drivers during the installation process.
For upgrading existing systems you have two options. You can repeat the same boot process as the basic installation but choose to upgrade instead of install. Figure 2 shows what you'll see when you choose a target disk with an existing ESXi image.
For our testing we were provided with four SuperMicro SBI-7128-C6N blades, each with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors, 256 GB of memory and six 2.5" disk drive bays. Three of the six drive bays accommodate NVMe disks, providing a direct PCIe path for the highest performance.
SuperMicro also provided a total of ten 2TB Intel NVMe drives, allowing us to configure three nodes with 6TB of fast NVMe disk. The 7U blade chassis accommodates up to ten blades and incorporates two independent 10GB Ethernet switches plus a single GB switch.
This provides each blade with a single GB Ethernet port plus two 10-GB ports. This system really screams and will be our platform for testing the release version of VSAN at a later date.
We tested this upgrade method with one blade server running ESXi 5.5 and another running ESXi 6.0. Both upgraded in short order with no issues.
The second upgrade option allows you to do an in-place upgrade for systems with access to the Internet. It will require a reboot but is the best option if you have any custom drivers installed that you wish to keep using. We also tested this option using the SuperMicro blade system with no issues.
To test performance differences we created a Windows 10 virtual machine with 1 CPU, 4096 MB of memory and a 32 GB system disk. Next we used PCMark 8 Professional Edition from Futuremark to test the basic performance of the virtual machine on one of the SuperMicro blades first under ESXi 6.0 and then using ESXi 6.5. Our tests showed 6.5 to be slightly slower than 6.0 but not by more than a few percentage points.
VMware made a corporate decision several years ago to phase out their Windows-based management tool. vSphere 6.5 is the first release where the vSphere client isn't shipped with the product. It's also the first release with the Web-based management tool shipped out of the box.
In versions prior to vSphere 6.0 Update 2 you would see a static Web page when you browsed to the IP address of an ESXi host machine. Now you get the familiar log in page and a Web-based management tool once you provide the proper credentials.
The HTML host management tool continues to evolve as it did when it was just a fling. At the time of this review we identified a few pieces missing that make it not fully functional.
The most glaring is the issue of creating a new VM using an ISO image of the installation media. We tried this with Windows 10 release 1607 and the wizard never gives you a chance to select an ISO file.
Figure 3 shows the HTML host management New virtual machine wizard while Figure 4 shows essentially the same step in the HTML version of vCenter New Virtual Machine.
In previous releases of vSphere the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) was recommended primarily as an option for smaller installations. With this release VMware has promoted VCSA to a full-scale enterprise-ready application and recommends using it as the default installation choice. They're also moving away from the Flash-based client toward HTML5. Version 6.5 offers both, as the HTML5 version doesn't yet provide all the functionality of the Flash version.
To access the HTML5 version simply enter https://192.168.1.205/ui and change the IP address to match your environment. Figure 5 shows the HTML client viewing the properties of the VSCA virtual machine while Figure 6 shows the Flash version of the same page.
It is possible to edit the HTML page settings to change what is displayed in each widget, but you can't arrange the size or arrangement. Previous versions of the vSphere Web Client required the installation of a Client Integration Plugin in order to accomplish a number of the "right-click" tasks found in the traditional Windows client. With vSphere 6.5 this plugin is no longer required.
The Flash version does allow you to adjust the size of the widget and the information displayed. Accessing the Flash version uses the same base URL with /vsphere-client as the target.
Overall, the HTML5 version feels a little snappier and definitely has a more visually appealing look. That said, we'll have to hold out on a final judgement until the two versions reach parity.
VMware has fully adopted the use of the Application Programming Interface (API) for interacting directly with ESXi hosts and vCenter servers. Both provide an API browser that allows an authenticated user to examine the various API endpoints and see the results provided. Figure 7 shows the result of one query run against a VCSA instance.
PowerCLI is VMware's automation secret weapon, which leverages Microsoft's PowerShell scripting language via a set of installable modules. It also comes in the form of a Docker container that you can download and use without the need to install anything.
Within the last six months Microsoft has delivered versions of PowerShell that run on Linux and macOS, providing a true cross-platform management capability. They also open sourced the whole thing and published the source code to GitHub.
VMware has taken advantage of this and implemented a wide range of PowerShell modules to automate the full vSphere ecosystem to include VMware Site Recovery Manager, vCloud Air and Director, and vRealize Operations Manager. The PowerCLI community is quite active and provides a resource where you can find scripts to meet just about any automation need.
The discussion forum has a huge contributor list with knowledgeable help for your PowerCLI questions. Best of all they offer PowerCLI free of charge!
Upgrading to vSphere 6.5 Worth the Risk?
To answer the question posed at the beginning of the review, we believe this release is worth the risk of upgrading to take advantage of the new features. We upgraded multiple systems from both ESXi 5.5 and 6.0 with zero issues. Your mileage may vary, but our experience says the risks are minimal with ample rewards.
That being said, you should take into consideration user transition concerns when moving from the legacy vSphere client to the new Web-based management tools. Many "old-school" admins know how to do what they need to do with the old client and might resist change. To be clear, upgrading to 6.5 removes the old vSphere Windows client. Older versions will connect to an ESXi host, but VWware does not support this configuration.

Mass was a metal band from Boston, MA that formed in the early 1980's as a band called "Axes". After changing their name to Mass, the band landed a record deal with A&M. They had an album ready to release in 1982, but trouble with the label caused them to shelve the project. In 1984, Mass self-produced an EP, and that EP sold well enough to catch the attention of RCA, who signed the band to a record deal. The band released their first album, New Birth, the same year. Some of you may remember the song "Do You Love Me" from this album that was played on MTV. Thankfully, the un-released albums that had been created prior to the RCA deal were finally released years later.
Mass was more a band full of Christians than a Christian band. The band is not preachy with their lyrics, in the same way a band like Stryper and Barren Cross was, but instead in more subtle ways. Given the fact that their 1989 album, Voices in the Night, was produced by Michael Sweet of Stryper, the Christian connection is more than implied. Mass never really broke up, but instead went on hiatus for a time. They did continue producing new materials in the 2000's and 2010's. The Mass Discography is as follows:
1982: Fighter
1984: Unchained
1985: New Birth
1988: Take You Home
1989: Voices in the Night
2000: Best Ones
2007: Crack of Dawn
2010: Sea of Black
2010: A Very Merry X-Mass
