Guided Troubleshooting
Ensure consistent end user experience and application performance
End User Response Time (EURT) Metrics
Through integration with Visual TruView™, OptiView XG network analyzer users now have full visibility into EURT metrics by user, site, server and application. A graphical "heat map" instantly pinpoints the application performance problem domain – network or application – with the ability to drill down into the real root cause. TruView is a unified application and network performance monitoring and troubleshooting appliance that watches over your global, regional, or even local groups of sites and users 24/7 by monitoring end-user experience enterprise-wide, time-correlating packet, flow and management data to isolate the cause of performance problems.
OptiView XG network analyzer users can leverage their TruView appliance (with version 9 software) with XG Version 12, which integrates EURT data directly from TruView into the OptiView user interface. Unlike some "integrated" products that simply switch user interfaces from one product to another, with OptiView XG network analyzer and TruView data is instantly passed between the tools and presented in the same local user interface, resulting in a smooth workflow within the same tool, getting to root cause fast – giving network and operations teams more time to focus on critical projects.
EURT is broken down into Application Response Time (ART), Data Transfer Time (DTT) and Network Roundtrip Time (NRT). A count of transactions by application and server allows the engineer to gauge the total impact on EURT. TCP health metrics (retransmissions, zero windows, out of orders and TCP resets) provide additional insight into the causes of poor application performance.
When engineers are out troubleshooting in the network – in the access layer, data center or remote sites – having EURT data at their fingertips gives them unprecedented visibility across devices, paths, flows and applications, speeding the resolution of performance problems.

Path Analysis
Finding the path between user and application resources is the first step in troubleshooting a network performance problem. Understanding the network infrastructure involved in application flows, how it is performing, and where to drill down for additional analysis provide the next steps needed to isolate issues. OptiView XG network analyzer's Path Analysis shows every hop at layer two and layer three and examines the health of every link, interface and device in the path selected. Clicking on any port instantly shows the interface health for the port traversed, speeding access to detailed problem information. This is how OptiView XG network analyzer "brings the problems to you" instead of searching for them.
The displayed results include the DNS name and IP address, the inter-switch connections by port number, together with link speed and VLAN information. Once launched, Path Analysis will trend interface utilization and show in/out traffic in clear trend charts. Highlighting any device column and selecting Device Detail allows you to drill into specific performance information for that device. Document the path with one-click report generation.
Application Infrastructure Analysis
Consistent application delivery is critical for business. OptiView™ XG network analyzer makes it easy to identify and analyze the underlying network infrastructure of an application. This lets you become proactive about application performance issues. It also decreases the time required to isolate network vs. application problems
Real-time NetFlow finds bandwidth hogs
OptiView XG network analyzer uses NetFlow to give you valuable insight into bandwidth usage in your enterprise without the complexity and expense involved in a traditional NetFlow analysis setup. The Application Infrastructure Analysis tests in the OptiView XG network analyzer can query NetFlow data from flow-enabled routing devices, and uses it to analyze network traffic and report on bandwidth usage across the network. Get instant real-time bandwidth usage reports on top applications, conversations, and hosts using bandwidth, for fast troubleshooting.
The ONLY network analysis tablet with 10 Gbps "On-The-Wire" analysis
OptiView XG network analyzer provides line rate, real-time application and traffic analysis and troubleshooting on 10/100/1000 Mbps or 10 Gbps links. Identify top talkers, multicasters and broadcasters or select top conversations to determine which hosts may be over-utilizing resource bandwidth. Tap or span key links to determine who is using server bandwidth by viewing top conversations to a single host. Analyze protocol mix to identify top protocols being used and also discover unwanted and custom protocols and see which protocols are being used by each host. These real-time statistics for traffic "on the wire" enable you to understand how network resources are being used and increase user satisfaction with faster response times for networked applications.
OptiView XG network analyzer automatically discovers all protocols and sub protocols from the MAC layer to the application layer. This enables IT staff to identify applications (including those that use dynamically assigned port numbers) utilizing link bandwidth to see and validate the impact of applications on network resources and also identify illicit applications. Deep packet inspection differentiates between specific audio, video, image, and data applications, and shows the level of bandwidth usage for each.
VLAN Visibility and Trunk Analysis
Only "on the wire" analyzers can provide vision into actual VLAN trunk traffic. When connected to a switch trunk port, the OptiView XG network analysis tool will detect all VLANs available on that trunk, measure the traffic distribution across all the VLANs and provides the user with the capability of selecting a specific VLAN.
If an individual VLAN is selected, device discovery, traffic statistics and packet capture data will be displayed only for that VLAN.
Application-centric Analysis
Application issues are difficult to solve and slow performance or outages have serious implications for the business. It is critical to get a view of traffic flows in terms of applications on the network to easily identify bottlenecks. OptiView™ XG network analysis tool provides a comprehensive, high-level overview of the health of applications on your network with easy to use drill down capabilities to gain access to more detailed information.
Through integration with Visual TruView (v9), XG users (with version 12) have full visibility of End User Response Time (EURT) metrics by user, site, server and application. A graphical "heat map" instantly pinpoints the application performance problem domain – network or application – with detailed drill-down into root cause.
Full line-rate capture ensures complete analysis
Get 10 Gbps line-rate packet capture and filtering to troubleshoot problems where packet level analysis is required and perform advanced troubleshooting when deploying and analyzing applications.
Sophisticated capture filters allow collection of more relevant data and limit the amount of traffic to analyze by filtering on individual addresses or conversation, IPv4 address range or subnet, or IPv6 prefix and protocols. The capture size can be up to 4GB.
The capture process may be started or stopped through a user defined trigger event – capture the traffic before, after or around an event occurrence without being present. This ensures you capture the event the first time and avoids initiating random traffic captures that may not contain anything of interest.
OptiView XG network analyzer's unique user interface makes the complex task of setting up filters and triggers as simple as touching the devices or protocols of interest, eliminating errors that result from misconfiguration.
Go "inline" to get to Root Cause
To get to the root cause of many application performance problems, you have to be "in the path of the packets" to examine the actual traffic. Now, with the new in-line analysis function in OptiView XG, your analyzer connects in the path to directly see and capture application traffic on its two RJ-45 ports. Instead of relying on span or mirror ports (which hide or even introduce problems) or carrying around an extra piece of hardware (external tap), the OptiView XG network analyzer lets you go directly in-line at up to full 1 Gbps speed to observe traffic in real time, or to capture at line rate for detailed application analysis in the onboard ClearSight Analyzer. Go in-line between the network and clients, access points, servers, or anywhere needed to get application-level visibility.
Capture and Store Multiple Trace Files
Sequential store-to-disk allows for multiple, sequential captures to be stored to the OptiView XG network analyzer's internal disk or to an external storage device to capture for longer periods or to capture multiple trigger events, allowing more than 4 GB of data to be captured – this can help find elusive problems. The user can set the destination drive and folder, a filename prefix (XG assigns a timestamp for the suffix), and set rules for the maximum number of captures or size of disk usage as limits.
Free String Match to find and capture anything
Match any set of words or phrases when detected (regardless of the position in the packet – payload or header) in real-time to trigger the OptiView XG network analyzer to start or stop capturing and/or filter traffic. Use Free String Match to capture traffic around any application error message, detect traffic containing certain words or phrases in non-encrypted emails, web pages, file transfers or documents to identify illicit use of the network or detect downloading of restricted documents based on content or filenames (.doc, .xls, .pdf). Additionally, use Free String Match to identify and track applications that are not allowed on the network such as streaming media that may consume valuable bandwidth, or P2P traffic that may pose a security risk. A total of eight sets of triggers or filters can be defined to trigger a capture unattended for later analysis, allowing analysis when you have time, not when the event occurred.
Simplified troubleshooting of application problems
Once traffic is captured, launch the Integrated ClearSight™ Analyzer (iCSA) to see an application-centric view of the trace file. Through a simple and intuitive front page, iCSA presents a comprehensive, high-level overview of the health of applications on your network. From that framework, you can drill down to gain access to more detailed information. For example, you can display all the activity for HTTP applications, then drill down to see activities on each server, and further down to the server flow to observe the actual media content of the flow. iCSA also provides time-based analysis providing detailed trending and statistical information for fast analysis of large capture files. This unparalleled level of control and visibility speeds time to application problem resolution and minimizes overall network downtime.
Automated problem/issue detection
The CSA Expert Alert function automatically detects communication faults in captured packets and displays them with color coded icons. The specific application, server, or flow that has a problem can be seen at a glance from the Application Summary Home screen. Alerts detected by CSA are classified as issues (faults in the communication sequence) or problems (faults that exceed a threshold value) and can be listed separately. Lists can be sorted by simply clicking on a column header. You can drill down to the associated communication flow by right-clicking on an alert.
Unique and powerful bounce chart illustrates application flow
CSA application bounce chart views reveal conversations between client and server in the application command language without having to decode packets manually. It provides an extremely powerful way to understand protocol interactions between various network elements.
Content reconstruction and playback
You can recreate audio and video content from VoIP or video flows, either during real-time monitoring or from a trace file. In addition, Microsoft® Exchange® email, Fax over IP, Instant Messages and HTTP-based web pages can also be reconstructed. This is very valuable as proof of compliance violation or visualization of multimedia quality.
Troubleshoot 10 Gbps network and application performance problems from the data center to the access layer – fast
When problems happen, your job is to fix it – fast – and perform deeper analysis for determining the root cause. The OptiView XG Network Analysis tool helps you resolve network and application performance issues in real-time using unique features such as proactive network analysis, network mapping, path analysis, and application-centric analysis, vendor-independent infrastructure analysis, on-the-wire traffic analysis, and full line-rate packet capture/decode. Expert-assisted application centric protocol analysis provides guidance – not just data – to solve tough application and network problems, even if you're not a packet decode expert.
Integrated WLAN deployment and analysis
Wireless Infrastructure Analysis
Through its wired-side network discovery and analysis, the OptiView XG network analyzer discovers and categorizes wireless LAN controllers, lightweight access points (AP), intelligent access points and wireless clients. Detailed device information is provided from Cisco, Aruba, and Meru Wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) and LWAPs, including the wireless networks associated with the controller, the SSIDs, security and QoS parameters, the light-weight APs being controlled and the 802.11 protocol in use.
In version 12, the OptiView XG network analyzer uses data from wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) to create wireless connectivity maps. The content of the map can be filtered by selecting one or more SSIDs, desired WLAN frequency bands, device and security types. Map details are user configurable, including link rates, channels used, AP mode and capacity, client count by AP, and more wired infrastructure connections show the entire network - from end-to-end - so you are never without updated documentation of your wired and wireless network.

Managing Network and Technology Changes
Advanced network discovery – finds devices, networks and problems in seconds
As soon as OptiView XG is connected to the network, it automatically begins to discover devices on the network, with no interaction required, by monitoring traffic and actively querying hosts. IT staff can immediately see what is on the network and where it is connected, by switch, slot and port number. They can investigate and quickly locate "suspect" devices and with minimum effort and identify problems associated with device misconfigurations.
The OptiView XG categorizes devices by type: interconnect (routers, switches), servers, hypervisors, virtual machines, printers, SNMP agents, VoIP devices, wireless devices, and other hosts. Additionally, networks are classified by IPv4 and IPv6 Subnets, VLANs, NetBIOS Domains and IPX Networks, and Wireless Networks together with host membership within each classification. Network devices that may be experiencing problems are also discovered.
Most network analyzers and troubleshooting tools have limited visibility in today's networks: usually a single broadcast domain or VLAN, but the OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet can also be configured to perform a discovery of up to 30,000 devices on an off-broadcast domain subnet to extend its discovery beyond the broadcast domain or local VLAN boundaries, across your enterprise network, into remote sites and users. Generate up-to-date HTML and PDF format inventory reports of devices both on the attached network and also on networks at remote sites.
Automated network mapping
The faster engineers can "see" what is going on in their network, to know who is on the network and where they are connected, and what the path is from "here to there", the faster they can get to root cause when troubleshooting performance issues. This is especially true for maintenance organizations or system integrators who often troubleshoot an "unknown" network. The problem is that traditional methods (CLI or element managers) take too long and present complex data that's often hard to interpret and difficult to correlate.
Using OptiView's patented discovery engine, users now have a network analyzer with mapping features that can interact with the network in a flexible map-based user interface to quickly visually identify configuration and topology issues, speeding troubleshooting.
Documentation is an essential step for any project, such as pre-deployment network assessments and new technology rollouts, but it can take too much time to complete. From the graphical map-based user interface, one click sends the map data through a Visio file generator, creating instant, professional network documentation. Ideal for enterprises or service organizations, OptiView XG's network mapping function saves hours of manual labor, allowing documentation to keep up as the network changes, or provide instant maps for client projects.
Discover and test through wireless connections
OptiView XG has the unique capability for fast discovery through a wireless connection. This keeps you aware of the network around you even when you moving through your site. You can unplug from the network and still be confident that the tablet is analyzing your critical devices through a wireless connection, even when moving to a different location – without losing any data. This offers a perfect solution for testing roaming handoffs.
VoIP and wireless device discovery
The OptiView XG will discover VoIP devices including call managers and IP phones from Cisco®, Nortel®, Avaya® and Mitel®. Device capabilities and configurations may be viewed, allowing the user to easily identify and correct configuration issues during VoIP deployment.
The OptiView XG also discovers and categorizes wireless LAN controllers, lightweight access points, intelligent access points and wireless clients. Detailed device information is provided from Cisco Wireless LAN controllers and LWAPs, including the wireless networks associated with the controller, the SSIDs, security and QoS parameters, the lightweight APs being controlled and the 802.11 protocol in use.
IPv6 Discovery
The OptiView XG will discover and display complete IPv6 network and device inventory including routers, switches, wireless AP's, DHCP6 servers and hosts. It enables you to identify active IPv6 devices in the network and those that may have problems in single-stack IPv6 networks. Router advertisements are analyzed and the OptiView XG displays detailed router information and settings. Easily identify applications that may be communicating using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
Detect devices using tunneling mechanisms and identify the tunnels in use. Undetected or unauthorized tunneling could represent a serious security risk.
Network Navigator
Whether troubleshooting performance problems or making changes, engineers need to understand "who and what" is on the network and where they are connected. This is especially true for maintenance organizations or system integrators who often troubleshoot an "unknown" network. The problem is that traditional methods (CLI, or element managers) take too long and present complex data that's often hard to interpret and difficult to correlate. OptiView XG's Network Navigator uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol data (LLDP, and CDP for Cisco switches) to generate a simple diagram of a switch's "network neighborhood". In/out interface IDs are shown along with device names. If OptiView XG detects any problems, they are indicated on the device.
The engineer simply clicks through the diagram to navigate the devices and paths to see whether any problems exist in a particular network area, showing exactly where further analysis is needed. The diagram can instantly be saved as a PDF or HTML formatted report.
Real-time in- depth infrastructure device analysis speeds troubleshooting. Get granular, real-time (updated every 30 seconds) interface utilization and errors for determining if excessive traffic is the cause of performance problems. This granular data can be collected for 24 hours. Interfaces can be quickly sorted by I/F index, utilization, broadcasts, errors, or collisions.
In-depth analysis, including:
- A tabular view of all switch port configurations, including the identity of each host and where it is connected.
- A graphical view of utilization and error rates on each switch port to see over-subscribed or error ports at a glance.
Quickly determine if performance problems are related to link speed or duplex misconfigurations, over-utilization or excessive hosts on a port.
VLAN discovery and analysis
Determine if connectivity problems are related to VLAN configuration by seeing information such as:
- VLANs that are configured on the switch
- Interfaces that are members of each VLAN
- Identification of trunk or uplink ports, together with the trunking protocol in use
- Identification of which hosts are members of each VLAN.
Router and WAN link analysis
In-depth device analysis identifies router ARP cache or routing table errors and also provides visibility to manage and troubleshoot costly WAN links. See WAN link configuration, a graphical display of utilization and error rates and identification of specific error types on ISDN, Frame Relay, T1/E1, T3 and ATM links.
Built-in telnet and web browser allow reconfiguration of devices directly from the OptiView XG.
Network connectivity and link validation
Get an ultra-fast read on where you are connected, the type and speed of link, nearest switch, local traffic, DHCP/DNS services, and whether you have a viable internet connection. This dashboard is ideal for quickly validating moves, adds and changes.
Reporting and Documenting
You can generate reports on virtually any screen the analyzer can display. This includes, dashboards, panels, and any of the main screens, i.e. , Discovery, Problems, Traffic Analysis, etc., with detailed reports. Many reports allow customization of content, as well as header information and logo. Reports can be saved in either HTML or PDF. This makes project documentation fast and easy, and can be used as part of a network assessment and baselining effort, providing comparable data for future reference.
Interface and device inventory reports can be instantly created in CSV format, for use in other systems and documentation processes.

Ideal for enterprises or service organizations, OptiView XG's network mapping function saves hours of manual labor, allowing documentation to keep up as the network changes, or provide instant maps for client projects.
Wireless Network Mapping
Save HOURS of manual labor! By enhancing the automated mapping feature released in Version 11, OptiView XG can now use data from wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) to create wireless network connectivity maps. The content of the map can be filtered by selecting one or more SSIDs, desired WLAN frequency bands, device and security types. Map details are user configurable, including link rates, channels used, AP mode and capacity, client count by AP, and more. Wired infrastructure connections show the entire network – from end-to-end – so you are never without updated documentation of your network! Clicking the report icon instantly generates a Visio document of your displayed map.
Network Performance Testing
Engineers managing enterprise or service provider networks now have a single tool for measuring performance and troubleshooting complex network and application problems. The Network Performance Test feature (NPT, available in OptiView XG versions 10 and higher) allows users to test and troubleshoot high performance links across wide area networks, campuses, or within data centers and sites. NPT quantifies the performance of the network in terms of bandwidth, latency, jitter and loss up to line-rate 10 Gbps, giving engineers solid data about the capabilities of their infrastructure and its ability to support current and future applications.
XG's Network Performance Testing is used to:
- Troubleshoot network and application performance problems
- Assess network performance prior to deployment of new services such as video or VoIP
- Validate the performance of new infrastructure elements and critical links within their data center
- Independently determine if their service providers are meeting agreed upon service levels (SLAs)
- Test whether required QoS is being maintained end-to-end
More Flexible and Powerful than Other Testing Methods
Based on ITU-T Y.1564, a comprehensive standard for testing real-world Ethernet performance, OptiView XG's NPT provides enhanced performance compared to older standards such as RFC2544, including:
Faster—the LRPT option measures all key performance Service Level Criteria (SLC's)—availability, throughput, frame loss, delay, and delay variation (jitter)—in a single test instead of multiple independent tests.
Fixed Test Times—a single lost frame during an RFC 2544 throughput test requires it be run again, so a test may take many times its set length. ITU-T Y.1564 tests only need to run one time for a complete measurement.
Thorough measurement of SLA requirements — including Excess Information and Excess Burst Rates (EIR/EBR), and availability. Measures delay and jitter on every frame in the test, as opposed to a single frame in the middle of one test period.
More Flexible—supports up to 8 simultaneous flows with independent destinations, acceptance criteria, CoS and VLAN settings.
Additional Capabilities:
- Graphical Path Analysis pinpoints the location of performance degradation.
- Bi-directional testing, from operational levels (for troubleshooting) up to full line-rate 10 Gbps (for validation)
- Flexible Layer 2 and Layer 3 settings including source and destination MAC and IP addresses, VLAN settings, TOS with DSCP or IP precedence, UDP port number and frame contents
- Complete setting of Service Acceptance Criteria limits for availability, throughput, frame loss, delay, and jitter (delay variation)

Traffic generation
Assess network readiness for new deployments by determining the impact of a new application, or the addition of network users, by stressing your network with simulated traffic – up to full 10 Gbps.
Protocol type, frame size, frame rate, percentage utilization and number of frames to transmit are user configurable, along with the type of traffic: Broadcast, Multicast or Unicast.
Selecting an IP protocol allows you to select Time to Live (TTL) parameters and TOS (QOS) parameters such as Minimum Delay, Maximum Throughput, Maximum Reliability, Minimum Monetary Cost and Maximum Security to ensure correct routing configurations.
Throughput Testing
In combination with an additional OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet (for 10 Gbps throughput) or OptiView Management Appliance, an EtherScope™ Network Assistant, or LinkRunner™ AT 2000 Network Auto-Tester (up to 1 Gbps), the XG throughput test measures bidirectional data flow between the two Fluke Networks' devices to validate LAN and WAN throughput capabilities.
The Throughput test allows you to configure the following parameters:
- Data speed (up to10 Gbps) – maximum rate is determined by the link speed and duplex.
- Frame size – choose from seven different frame sizes or select sweep to run the test on seven preset frame sizes. OptiView XG provides support for jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.
- Content – select payload for all 1s, all 0s, alternating 1s and 0s or random.
- Test duration can be 2 seconds to 18 hours.
Test results can be viewed in a tabular or graphical format. The Rate Format tabular view indicates the local and remote transmit and receive rates together with the total percentage of frames received by both devices. Switching to tabular Frame Format view shows the number of local and remote frames transmitted and received, together with the total percentage of frames received by both devices. Learn more
General Features
Remote user interface and access
Simply point a web browser at the IP address of a correctly configured OptiView XG Tablet to retrieve saved reports and capture files. You can also install a Remote User Interface (UI) and use your PC to remotely access an OptiView XG over a TCP connection. Once the Remote UI is installed, simply give the interface the IP address of the OptiView XG and see the default dashboards. You can then create your own remote dashboards to get your own view of the network.
Communications between the OptiView XG and Remote UI can be encrypted. A single portable OptiView XG will support thirty-two remote sessions for collaborative troubleshooting or opening of multiple sessions on a PC to provide a remote "NOC" view. The OptiView XG features a separate management port for "out-of-band management" independent of the network under test port. When using the remote interface, all dashboards created are stored on the user's PC, allowing further customization for each remote user.
Profile Management
For engineers who move between sites or different clients, OptiView XG (version 12) enables saving instrument settings as site- or client-specific profiles, speeding instrument reconfiguration when moving between different networks. This makes XG an even more powerful and convenient tool for systems integrators, consultants, security/compliance auditors and other field teams.
User accounts
Through the user accounts screen, you can add and modify security information for each individual OptiView XG user to prevent unauthorized use of certain features for compliance with regulatory requirements. This also allows users access to powerful troubleshooting features such as SNMP, while keeping the community strings hidden. Features that can be disabled include packet capture and decode, traffic generation, remote user interface and OptiView XG configuration.
Context sensitive help
Help is contextually linked to each screen in the OptiView XG. While that help screen is displayed, you may select other information from the table of contents, choose an index entry, or perform a full text search on any help topic or term.
Removable hard drives
See what's happening on your classified network by connecting one single tool that ensures any sensitive data stored on your network analyzer's hard drive never leaves that environment. Network information discovered by the OptiView XG Tablet can be stored on the removable hard drive, allowing the OptiView XG to be moved from classified environments of different levels and between classified and unclassified systems by simply removing and replacing the hard drive. Extra, pre-configured drives are available separately.

Colville High boys face difficult week
The Colville High boy's basketball team, coming off big wins over Newport and Riverside, face their final—and most important—week of Northeast A League play this week.
On Tuesday, the Indians (5-2, 10-7), in a three-way tie for first place, were at one of the toughest gyms in the NEA (Lakeside). Colville, with a home win over the Eagles earlier this month, will likely be the underdog this time around against LHS (3-4, 8-9).
So it goes in the wild NEA, where protecting the home court is paramount and stealing a road win here and there the goal.
With NEA playoffs looming next week, five of the league's six teams have a shot at least a share of the regular season title.
On Friday, Colville returns home to face a Freeman team that dropped a surprising 46-24 decision at Chewelah back on Jan. 17. The Cougars outscored cold-shooting Freeman 33-11 in the second half.
Chewelah (5-2, 13-4) and Freeman (5-2, 11-7) are both tied atop the league standings with Colville. Newport and Lakeside are two games back in the loss column.
CHS will host Chewelah on Saturday night.
Game time both nights is 7:30 p.m.
Colville used an impressive 17-3 third quarter run to bury skidding Newport (3-4, 9-8) 49-38 back on Jan. 17 in front of a big home crowd.
Colville got 13 points and 12 rebounds from 6-9 sophomore post Matt Hubbard and something of a break-out game from junior guard Jay Shoemaker (11 points, five steals). Shoemaker hit a pair of three-pointers.
Alex Pond, a 6-5 senior post, added eight points and eight rebounds. Senior 6-6 swingman J.R. Henry had 10 points and nine rebounds.
Senior Jake Wiley, Newport's 6-7 senior who's headed to the University of Montana, scored 18 of Newport's 21 second half points.
Wiley scored a game-high 26 points.
Colville held NHS point guard Jeron Konkright, who scored 19 points in Colville's loss earlier this month at Newport, to only five points, all in the first half.
Big third quarter
"That was our goal," Foulkes said. "Do the best we could on Wiley and hold Konkright down. We were able to do that."
Colville was 18 of 49 from the field (39 percent) and three of 11 from distance. Newport was 14 of 53 (26 percent) and only two of 11 from three-point range.
CHS was 10 of 17 from the free throw line.
"That was a great win for us at home," Foulkes said. "We played well enough for three quarters against a very dangerous team with a dynamic player (Wiley)."
On Friday, CHS head coach John Foulkes 0-5 at Chattaroy in his career against always tough Riverside (0-7, 4-13), picked up an important road win. The Indians built a 13-point second half lead and withstood a fourth quarter RHS rally to post a 51-47 win.
Hubbard tied a school record of long-standing when he hauled down 21 rebounds against Riverside. He also led the Indians with 16 points and four assists.
"Matt was just dynamic for us," Foulkes said. "That's a lot of rebounds."
CHS needed pretty much every one of them. The Rams mounted a late run and it got a little sweatier at the end than maybe it needed to be. Riverside hit four three-pointers in the fourth quarter to make things interesting.
RHS freshman point guard Tyler Axtell and Logan Owens were the two principals in the Riverside run. Axtell, who finished with 14 points, had six points in the game's final 3 ½ minutes. Owens hit a pair of fourth quarter three-pointers.
"They are just a thorn in our side in that gym," Foulkes said. "Nothing comes easy."
Big fourth quarter for Henry
It didn't help that Colville missed the front end of some free throws down the stretch.
"But we did some good things and we got off to a great start in the fourth quarter…that helped," Foulkes added.
Henry, struggling on 1 of 9 shooting heading into the fourth quarter, helped ignite the Indians. The big redhead scored nine of his 13 points in the fourth quarter. He also pulled down 10 rebounds for the game.
Colville, who committed 18 turnovers against Newport, turned it over 16 times against Riverside. Still, those numbers are less than the Indians' season average.
Colville shot 36 percent from the field (18 of 50) and were six of 16 from three-point distance. The Indians hit all three of their three-pointers in the first quarter.
Alex Pond, saddled with foul trouble, finished with six points and seven rebounds.
Riverside was 17 of 58 from the field and only six of 24 from long range. All but two of those came in that fourth quarter run.
Opponents are averaging just under 30 percent from the field against Colville this season. So it goes when your front line is 6-9, 6-6, 6-5.
"Our length causes teams problems," Foulkes said.
Colville had a 49-32 edge on the boards.
Foulkes knows that Colville's stretch of three tough opponents this week will test the Indians' mettle.
"It's going to be tough," Foulkes added. "But we are the only team right now that controls its own destiny. "It's a very competitive league and everybody can win. Nobody has separated themselves--and you can't even count Riverside out. They have played people tough and have been in almost every game.
"Going to Lakeside is always tough. That's a traditionally good program. We just have to keep getting better, be sharp this week and keep battling.
In non-league action Saturday night involving NEA teams, Newport blew a 12-point lead and lost at Timberlake, 53-46. The Tigers trailed 42-30 after three quarters, but the hosts outscored NHS 23-4 in the fourth quarter.
Trevor Masterson led a balanced Timberlake (10-4) attack with 11 points.
Jake Wiley dumped in 15 points for Newport. That was a season low for Wiley.
Newport was 0-3 for the week.
On Friday night, Freeman (10-7, 5-2) downed Newport 60-42 behind Kellen Miller and Derek Harter, who dumped in 14 points apiece.
Wiley led Newport with 19 points.
Derek Smith scored 16 points and dished out seven assists to lead Chewelah past Lakeside 63-57 in Chewelah last Friday night.
Conner Moffatt scored a game-high 23 points for Lakeside.
Last Tuesday night around the NEA, Kyle Powell scored a game-high 27 points to lead Lakeside to a 57-52 win at Riverside.
Jordan Wood led Riverside with 14 points.

Digital SLR Cameras : Pentax Announces Weather-Resistant K-30 Digital SLR in Three Color Choices
Mid-level model marketed as creative companion for travel and outdoor photographers.May 22, 2012
"No detail was overlooked when designing the dynamic new K-30 to be weather resistant," explained John Carlson, senior manager, Sales and Marketing, Pentax. "Every seam, every button, every hinge has been weather sealed for adventureproof creative photography. Whether enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking in the Rocky Mountains or on vacation cruising along on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, photographers can stop worrying about weather conditions and start focusing on capturing the perfect shot."
Other notable features include a 16 megapixel APS-C-size CMOS sensor, a 3.0-inch high-res LCD, high-speed burst shooting at six images per second, a 1/6,000-sec high-speed shutter, live view at 60 frames per sec with three grid display patterns, dual electronic dials for fingertip access to exposure control and auto picture and scene modes, and a RAW/Fx multifunction button for on-the-fly switching of image file formats.
A new SAFOX IXi+ AF sensor module was added to assure responsive, high-precision autofocus by incorporating a diffraction lens to minimize chromatic aberration in accordance to the characteristics of individual lens. A dedicated sensor also factors the light source into its calculations at the time of shooting. Additionally, 9 of its 11 focus points have cross-type sensors to capture subjects in sharp focus, while a spot beam assists the AF system in low light. Also, an expanded area AF function allows the sensor module to continue to track a moving subject in AF select mode, even when it moves out of a preassigned auto-tracking area.
For outdoor performance, the camera boasts 81 seals with proven functionality in subfreezing temperatures as low as 14° F. Its exterior was designed to be both sporty and functional for active outdoor photographers: a large grip provides a firm hold; its low-profile pentaprism housing reduces height; and a rounded, soft-rubber casing provides a grip during vertical shooting. And, the K-30 is available in three body colors: white and blue with glossy finishes and black for a traditional SLR look. It is also compatible with all Pentax K-mount lenses.
The K-30's sensor is coupled with Pentax's "Prime M" imaging engine to produce Full HD 1080p movie clips (1,920x1,080 pixels) at a choice of frame rates (30, 25 or 24 fps), or 60 fps at 720p—all with shake reduction compensation. Users can add artistic effects to recorded clips using custom image modes or record subjects in a series of video clips with the interval movie-shooting mode.

Edison gets 14 recommendations from accreditation team
FORT MYERS - The group that will decide if Edison State College can keep its accreditation says the college has some work to do.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, or SACS, laid out their findings after a week-long on site visit.
Faculty watched the drama play out on two video screens as the normally private summary session was opened to the public.
The commission presented a list of 14 recommendations the college needs to address to keep its regional accreditation.
"The committee that's here is here to present information to the institution," said SACS Vice President Dr. Barry Goldstein, "so that the institution can then have an opportunity to respond and make appropriate changes."
According to one faculty member, the most serious charge dealt with the college's overall integrity. The commission recommended the college put in place safeguards to ensure integrity for academics and "all operations" of the college.
"I think the violations they found were violations that we knew we had some weak areas," said faculty union president Ellie Bunting, who was not surprised by the findings. "We've got a lot of work to do."
Other areas that need to be addressed include recommendations the college hire more faculty; show administration is qualified and effective; and address the course swapping scandal, which allowed students to inappropriately swap core classes for electives.
"Are you confident you can meet all of their recommendations?," asked Fox 4 reporter Matt Grant.
"I'm absolutely confident we can meet every one of those recommendations," said Edison president Ken Walker.
The college has five months to address the recommendations.
Other sticking points like the controversial firings of Vice Presidents Bob Beeson and Steve Atkins and the faculty's no confidence vote against Walker weren't addressed by SACS but will need to be settled for the college to move forward.
"Can that be done with Dr Walker at the top?," asked Grant.
"We're going to be taking a look at all aspects of the administration, all aspects of the college," said new board member Pamella Seay.
"So is that a yes or a no?," asked Grant.
"It's an I don't know," said Seay.
The SACS commission will deliver a formal summary of their findings to the college in the coming weeks.
A final decision on their accreditation future will be made in June.
SACS Recommendations:
- Provide evidence they have safeguards in place to ensure integrity of academic programs and all operations.
- Demonstrate all degree programs embody a coherent course of study as appropriate to designated field.
- Ensure number of full-time faculty members is adequate to support the mission, quality and integrity of academic programs.
- Clearly define and publish an organizational structure that delineates responsibilities for administration of policies.
- Demonstrate they have qualified administrative and academic officers with experience, competence and capacity to lead.
- Provide evidence that a contractual or formal agreement with the foundation that accurately describes the relationship and the viability of that relationship.
- Narrow the focus of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
- Develop an assessment plan for QEP.
- Provide evidence of improvement in educational programs to include student learning outcomes.
- Provide evidence of improvement of administrative support services.
- Provide evidence of results for community public service.
- Provide evidence the baccalaureate admissions policies are clear and enforced consistently.
- Publish, implement and consistently enforce policies related to course substitutions.
- Provide evidence that requirements for undergraduate programs are consistently enforced.

Those who think government should be run like a business would be pleased with the Indian state of Dehli's most recent innovation: government web conferencing. The Hindustan Times reports that the North Indian province has agreed to allow citizens to regularly communicate via teleconference with top level bureaucrats and politicians.
Sheila Dikshit, chief minister of Dehli, has been spearheading a movement to bring technology and e-governance into regular discourse in her state. High definition video conference rooms have been installed in many government offices to allow Dehli's citizenry to have face-to-face conversations with their rulers.
The first conference was held from secretariat offices in Dehli and was conducted by Dikshit. The minister held a video conference with nine of her top deputy commissioners as residents listened to speeches inaugurating the system, saying, "The officers and public representatives sitting on the other side will be able to submit their suggestions and comments simultaneously that will help in taking on-the-spot decisions."
Fourteen more conference rooms are expected to be built across the province, most in the capital, New Dehli.

Midway through Michael Haneke's scrupulously devastating Amour, the elderly Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) tells his wife, Anne (Emmanuelle Riva), about a film he remembers watching as a child. Though he can no longer recall any details, he keenly remembers how the film made him feel, and the reminiscence brings him to tears. "The emotions remain," he tells Anne. That scene is almost too perfect—it is, undoubtedly, Haneke's nod to the enduring power of cinema—but it captures what makes Amour both calmly beautiful and tremendously wrenching. Over the film's course, Austrian writer-director Haneke, ever the psychologically brutalizing provocateur, takes an unsentimental, dignified and painfully transfixing look at infirmity and mortality. Set almost entirely in Georges and Anne's comfortable apartment in modern-day Paris, Amour lays its groundwork early. Anne has a stroke one morning, seeming to disappear mentally for several moments. She soon ends up in a wheelchair, having lost function on one side of her body. Riva's performance is as graceful as it is heartbreaking: There's a joyful scene in which she laughs while spinning around in her motorized wheelchair, but also moments when she expresses a complex constellation of shame, sadness and confusion. As Anne's health declines, Georges' posture grows stooped and his gait clumsy. Though he remains loving and attentive, anger and frustration flash through. Further strains emerge with the entrance of their only child, Eva (the excellent Isabelle Huppert). Eva is high-strung, self-involved and powerless to understand or support her parents, and Huppert rattles the proceedings to unsettling effect. Though very little happens, Haneke builds an ominously suspenseful atmosphere, both with little details—what, for example, is the symbolism of the pigeon that keeps flying into the apartment?—and with flights of narrative unreliability. Though Amour may not contain the same cold shocks of menace or cruelty as Haneke's other films, it also does not relent in its painful realism. And that is precisely what endows it with such power.

[back to list of forum threads] [reply to this thread]
Hello there all. I have been given a battered old Les Paul style Tanglewood electric and I would really appreciate any info if someone out there knows what model it is or knows anything about its construction and spec.
It is mostly gloss black, but has a kind of trans-black top, revealing a 'swirly' wood grain where the top has been carved. The rest of the fixtures are cream e.g. Binding, pickup rings,or Chromed where appropriate.
On the very 'Gibson' headstock it simply has a gold transfer decal reading "Tanglewood Guitar Company". It seems to be a cut above what I would consider an entry level model, but the body is clearly 'ply' or laminate contruction. Despite this, the guitar sounds really rich and warm through a Tube amp (although I did completely rewire it in '50s configuration, and replace all electrics and the Nut). The neck is glued in or 'Set'.
I would greatly appreciate any info or theories you all might have on what it is I have been given. One thing's for sure, I may have a bit of a choice as to which is my main gigging guitar now I have acquired this rather nice player!
Thanks,|Simon Maher
hi Simon,
are you able to post a couple pics of the guitar?
Erik (Tanglewod Guitars - North America)
Sorry, chaps! How have people uploaded photos before? I have JPEGs rarign to go, but the 'Insert photo' and simply Copy & paste seemingly won't work.
Hi Simon,
Your guitar (above) is a TSE 501 'Star' Single-Cut, which was sold between 1992-1996 in the UK. The scan below is of our catalogue from 1994. It retailed for around £249 in the UK in 1994. (It looks like the pickups and knobs on your guitar may have been replaced somewhere along the line, though.)
Hello Erik
Thanks so much for returning such a complete reply! Really very good of you. I can't help thinking mine is a variation on the Star 501 you mention – there are a few difference in the appointments: Headstock shape; pickup selector switch ring; truss rod cover shape; knobs; pickups/pickup rings.
The friend who gave me the guitar states he bought it in York, in 1992, from a Music Store who don't really deal in used instruments - he certainly bought it as a teenager on the understand that, after all that saving, it was brand new! You'll know better than me, but is it possible this was a certain 'edition' of the Star? I had previousy found examples of the Sunburst model of the Star, as in the catalgoue pages you sent, and hadn't considered that it was the same as mine, largely because of the headstock shape difference.
I really appreciate you getting back to me with all that info - thanks again.
All the best,Simon
I also just noticed, extra to the above, the fret board marker inlays are MOP effect trapezoids on my guitar, not dot markers as on the Star. The headstock is also not bound on the guitar I have.


text: My skincare routine is pretty simple; cleanse, moisturise and a bit of eye cream. I don't wear mascara (unless I'm going out) so removing my makeup usually requires very little effort. I used to be a fan of face-masks, but lately that routine has fallen by the wayside. I've been using Aesop for a few years, ever since I was introduced to it at the WORLD Beauty Store where I occasionally worked during Uni. Although it was the pretty packaging that drew me in, it only took me a few squirts of the hand balm to become completely addicted. I'm not going to lie, I do love seeing all the amber bottles lined up in my bathroom, that's not what keeps me going back. The Violet Leaf Hair Balm is easily at the top of my list. My hair is fine, blonde and has a mind of it's own, and this magic balm has worked miracles on many an occasion. It's not greasy like a serum, but just as powerful. The Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream is equally as amazing. The citrus smell is delicious, and it's both hydrating and lightweight, making it perfect year round. The range does cost more than anything you'll pick up at the supermarket, but it's not too extreme either. And Aesop's philosophy is just as beautiful as their branding; it's the real deal.
