UNDATED (WSAU) Marathon County residents might decide the fate of an Argyle man who allegedly killed four of his children by setting his family's house on fire. Armin Wand-the-Third is scheduled to go on trial February 22nd, unless he strikes a plea deal before then.
Visiting Judge Thomas Vale agreed with defense lawyers that the nature of the publicity in the case makes it impossible for Wand to get a fair jury in his home county of Lafayette. So if the trial proceeds, jurors would be picked in Wausau. And then they would be bused to Darlington, where testimony is scheduled to begin February 23rd at the Lafayette County Courthouse.
The 33-year-old Wand is charged with numerous counts of arson, attempted arson, and homicide. Police said he and his younger brother Jeremy set fire to Armin's home last September, so Armin could collect the insurance money and start a new life. Three of Armin's children were killed, along with an unborn child carried by his wife – who was severely burned in the blaze. Their two-year-old daughter made it out okay.
Jeremy Wand's trial has not been set yet.

Looking for Power Protection?Start shopping
Power protection buying guide
For TV and home theater
|You can find power protection components to accommodate just about any system.
For a lot of folks, power protection means plugging everything into an inexpensive power strip equipped with a circuit breaker. While that may be adequate for some electronic devices, general purpose power strips usually won't fully protect sensitive audio/video components from damaging power spikes. And they seldom filter out the everyday electronic interference from your home's electrical wiring, phone line, and cable TV connections that can hurt your system's performance.
Power protection components come with a variety of options to meet the specialized needs of various systems. In this article, we'll explain those options. We've also put together a simple list to help you make sure the power protector you're considering has the right features for your system's needs.
[Shop our selection of power protection.]
Why do I need power protection, anyway?
You or someone you know have probably lost a TV or computer to a power surge during a thunderstorm. Preventing that kind of damage is a big part of what power protection does. After all, unplugging your TV during a storm may not be enough; if your cable box or satellite receivers remain connected, you've left a "back door" open for that lightning strike.
Less dramatic — though more common — is the damage done to audio/video systems by minor fluctuations in AC power, sometimes called "brown outs." And electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference generated either by other devices in the home (like vacuum cleaners and blenders) or sources outside it (like nearby power lines or radio towers) can also impair your system's performance.
Inexpensive power strips simply aren't designed to offer that level of protection. They normally just break the connection if too much electricity comes through the line. And even there, cheap strips can fall down on the job. Because general purpose power strips often have higher tolerances than expensive audio/video equipment, a surge that could damage your components could pass through the strip because its voltage is below the level required to trip the circuit breaker.
To select the right power protection unit, you should consider the components it will be connected to — both now and in the foreseeable future. This can help you select a unit that provides an appropriate level of protection for your system.
Surge protection
Lightning strikes or power company overloads can create surges that could fry your gear in less than a second. If all your audio/video gear is plugged into a surge protector with AC outlets, you might think your system is safe. But these power spikes can also enter your home through your phone line, your cable TV line, or the wire that connects your satellite receiver to your outside dish. You'll want to make sure the power protection device you choose can accommodate all of the lines that connect to your system.
Surge protectors sacrifice themselves to save your equipment. They're designed to be the weakest link in the chain from the AC wall outlet to your equipment, and they include circuit breakers or fuses that immediately sever the connection when a large electrical spike hits.
Many surge protectors can also sense whether or not your home's wiring is properly grounded, and will alert you if a fault is detected. Improper grounding is often a source of audible low-level hum coming through your speakers.
Better quality surge protectors usually carry warranties that cover damage to connected equipment if they fail to contain a power spike.
Line conditioning
Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI) won't fry your A/V gear, but they can limit its performance. Devices with digital inputs and outputs, such as Blu-ray players, receivers and LCD and plasma TVs, can be especially susceptible to "dirty power."
- EMI is caused by an electromagnetic field generated close to your system. Sometimes it can be contained in the current that comes into your home. A washing machine, vacuum cleaner, or blender can add a loud buzzing or a low hum to your audio system. EMI can also affect the quality of your TV picture in the form of "snow" or overall reduced clarity.
- RFI results from radio waves that can be generated by radio stations, microwaves, cell phones, lawn mowers, and many other sources. These interference patterns often originate a great distance from your home, and can be heard as clicks and pops. Your home's electrical circuitry can actually act as a crude antenna, sending RF signals through your system's power cords and into your gear. Sometimes cell phone conversations or nearby radio transmissions can even be heard through your system's speakers. RFI can also interfere with your TV's picture, dulling image details and washing out contrast.
A power protection component with line conditioning can remove most of this interference, allowing your system to perform at its full potential.
|An AC line conditioner with voltage regulation ensures stable power for the components you plug into it.
Voltage regulation
As electricity demands change throughout the day and night, the AC line voltage in your home swells and sags, and these fluctuations can limit your system's performance, and may even reduce the lifespan of your audio/video gear. For example, when voltage is low, the power supplies in components require more current, and that can generate heat, which is harmful over the long term.
A line conditioner with voltage regulation stabilizes the voltage it sends to the components that are plugged into it, keeping voltage within a narrow range. Voltage regulation helps ensure that high-performance equipment — whether it's audio components, high-end Blu-ray players, or flat-panel HDTVs — will perform at its best.
Power regeneration
Heavy usage elsewhere on the line, brownouts, and accumulated line noise can all affect the power coming into your house, sending an irregularly fluctuating current into your gear. High-performance audio/video components are extremely sensitive to these changes. Power regeneration is the ultimate solution for smoothing out these irregularities.
Rather than just filtering your house current and passing it on to your gear like a conventional line conditioner, a power regenerator uses it to create its own power to send to your equipment. Incoming AC (alternating current) is converted to DC (direct current) to strip out electronic noise. The DC current is then regenerated perfect AC through circuitry that tightly controls the power flow, eliminating as much variation as possible. This regenerated AC power has virtually none of the noise or fluctuation of the original current, ensuring that your system gets clean, consistent power.
|UPS units can keep your gear on when the power goes out, so you can shut it off safely.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
If you've ever lost work on your computer when the power suddenly cuts out, then you can appreciate the value of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). UPS components contain internal batteries that provide power to your equipment during temporary power outages. Typically, a UPS can provide power for multiple components for a few minutes — long enough to ride out short blackouts or to save your work and shut down your system properly during prolonged outages.
Along with preventing lost data, a UPS can help extend the life of your gear. Many audio/video components are stressed by improper shutdown, which affects their performance and may shorten their operational lives.
Also, a UPS can prevent the loss of personalized settings in your audio/video components, such as channel programming with your satellite receiver, TV, or cable box. This is helpful for components that rely on an internal clock, such as a DVR or VCR.
Uninterrupted power is especially important for rear-projection TVs and projectors. These displays use an expensive high-powered bulb to illuminate the picture. Because this bulb gets very hot, an internal fan runs for several minutes after the TV is turned off to cool the bulb down slowly and safely. Plugging your projector into a UPS allows the cooling fan to run even if the power goes out suddenly, extending the life of the bulb.
[Shop our selection of uninterruptible power supplies.]
Additional features to look for
Your power protection component can offer benefits beyond surge protection and line conditioning. More advanced features include:
- Sequential outlet turn-on — First sends power to your playback components, like a Blu-ray player or cable box, and then to your receiver or amplifier after a brief delay. This eliminates the infamous amplifier turn-on "thump," which can damage your speakers.
- Offset outlets for AC adapters — The bulky AC adapters that come with small devices like rechargers and game consoles requires only one outlet. But when plugged in, they can fully or partially cover the adjacent outlet, preventing its use. Offset outlets place additional space between the plugs to accommodate these larger "wall warts." (Offset outlets are more common on strip-type surge protectors than component-type models.)
- Out-of-the-way mounting options — Some power protection units include hardware for mounting on a wall or a component rack.
- Additional phone line connection — Some components require a connection to your phone line, such as a TiVo® recorder or satellite TV box. Many people don't realize that electricity can travel through a phone line as well as a power cord, and so often leave this "back door" open for catastrophic power spikes.
- Isolated outlets for digital sources — Reduces the high-frequency noise generated by digital equipment, such as DVD or Blu-ray players and flat-panel TVs. The outlets are arranged in isolated banks — one for digital components, and the other for analog audio and video components, like receivers and amplifiers. This keeps noise generated by the digital components from leaking back and interfering with the analog gear.

|Notification of James Ryan's death
|Notification of death on 30th September 1917, aged 20, from mustard gas shell in France.
James Ryan was 6ft tall and looked older which was why he was accepted as a volunteer at just 16 years of age.
He joined the Royal Field Artillery as a Gunner (service no. 1385) and was mobilised on the 4th August 1914 from Southampton to Alexandria. He travelled to Cairo, Ismailia, Kantarah, Albania, Port Said and into Turkey, fighting in Gallipoli and the Dardanelles with the '1st/1st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 1/4th East Lancs. Battery, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force' (i.e. 213th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division). Then eventually back to Alexandria, Cairo, Alexandria, Dardenelles, Cairo, Suez, Moses Well to Cairo. During this period he was hospitalised several times with slight knee injury from splinters from a shell burst, several severe attacks of dysentery and was seriously ill with jaundice which keep him in hospital for several weeks. He sailed to Cyprus to a Hospital in Limassol.
He was sent home to England at some point to his parents and young sister Edna, my mother- who will be 96 years old this July and remembers and still grieves for her brother ˜jim-jim'. A gap here in information, but he returned to action and fought in France and Belgium. He states in the attached letter that there isn't a bullet with his name on, which proved correct when Jim was killed by Mustard Gas on 30th September 1917 at the 3rd battle of Passchendale on the Menin Road (serving with 'B' Battery, 210th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division, as Acting Bombadier, no. 705469), and taken to the Mendingham dressing station. He is buried at the Mendingham cemetery where his headstone shows his age as 22yrs old which is incorrect as he had lied about his age when he volunteered.

As Congress debates a comprehensive solution to illegal immigration, many are demanding "secure the border first."
Five years ago I flew with Customs and Border Protection in a Blackhawk helicopter and witnessed chaos along the border.
While the situation has vastly improved, opinions are divided over why.
Arizona's 368 mile border with Mexico remains the most popular illegal gateway into the United States. More than half of all illegal crossings into the U.S. happen here.
But in the past few years, the numbers along the Arizona border have dropped significantly. When the economy tanked and jobs were scarce -- illegal entries declined.
In 2000, 616,000 illegal immigrants were intercepted trying to cross the border. Last year that number dropped to 120,000.
"I don't think it's any secret that the majority of these people are coming to work," said Jeffrey Self, Joint Field Commander.
Improved fencing has made a difference, especially around the populated ports of entry like Nogales. This is a section of the original fence built back in the 90s, the first serious attempt at a border fence. Still pretty sturdy but these posts are hollow. Compare that to the newer fence built a couple of years ago in 2011. This is steel filled with concrete and rebar -- almost impossible to cut through.
This warehouse in Nogales once held hundreds of illegals captured every day. Today, the cages are empty. Instead of people, they now house old furniture and computers.
While improved fencing and high tech surveillance have made it harder to cross, the determined still find a way. In this Nogales parking lot, in the shadow of the border fence, three tunnels were discovered and plugged this year.
"The callousness, the desperation of these criminal organizations they're using any means necessary to operate," said Brent Cagen, U.S. Border Protection.
And right across the street, another tunnel ran right into this building.
"When agents made these apprehensions there were more than 100 people inside."
The drug cartels are hardly standing down. On this day, at the Nogales port of entry, field agents busted a woman smuggling $85,000 worth of heroin in her crotch and bra.
"I noticed the passenger had abnormally large breasts," said a border agent.
Technology can never replace the trained eyes of agents.
"It's something that we see every day, 8 hours a day. And she just didn't seem right to me."
While the ports of entry are the most secure places on the border, people might be surprised to learn Mexicans, who have a B1-B2 visa can enter Arizona, go as far north as Tucson, and stay for up to 30 days.
The idea is keep people and commerce flowing.
"They live in Mexico they come over here to shop and go right back."
Border security on the honor system.
"We like to say about 98 percent of the people who come through here are legitimate travelers, so that shows you what our challenge is, to pinpoint those who are indeed up to no good."
As border security has improved, it's pushing drug smugglers and human traffickers into more remote, dangerous regions of the border.
That's where airplanes, helicopters and drones come into play. Eyes in the sky for the agents on the ground.
The aircraft moves where needed by the people in this room.
"We're taking our aircraft and putting them in position to help our people in the field make those interdictions."
But all the security and technology the government can muster will never stop the dream of a better life that waits on the other side of this fence.
"It does open your eyes to why people would choose to come to the United States," said Cagen. "Is there an immigration solution, I don't know. Is there a way to stop it completely I don't know. What I can tell you is that this has slowed it down significantly."
Along Arizona's 368-mile border with Mexico, 306 miles has some fencing.
The other 62 miles are in areas where the geography does not lend itself to a fence.
But as one source told me, fences, agents, technology aside, for those who are committed to coming to the U.S. -- 3 out of 4 -- eventually make it. One way or another.

The Honda rider is now 38 points off Lorenzo due to a series of unfortunate events in Misano which culminated with him being taken out on the opening lap of the race, and what was a 13-point deficit to the Yamaha man that had been trimmed down successively over the preceding rounds is now a considerable one with just five races remaining.
This is only the third year Aragón has been on the MotoGP schedule and neither rider has won there in the previous two visits. Both those races were won by Casey Stoner, but with the Australian out injured who will be able to push hardest? Will Lorenzo extend his lead and edge towards becoming champion elect, or can Pedrosa keep the fight going to the very end?
Misano was a fantastic weekend for Valentino Rossi on the Ducati as the Italian took second place in front of his adoring home crowd, and the big improvements felt in the Desmosedici that contributed to his podium finish were confirmed in a test straight after the GP. Last year he managed to end up 10th at Aragón after starting from pit lane, but can he fight for a top-three spot this time around as he and Ducati look for a results-laden end to their two-year partnership?
On the other side of the Ducati garage Nicky Hayden should be close to 100% after returning from injury at Misano. Two years ago the American scored a podium at Aragón on the Desmosedici - can he get the GP12 working in the same way Rossi did two weeks ago and challenge at the front again?
Other riders will be pushing for the podium at Aragón too... Álvaro Bautista is fresh from his first rostrum finish in MotoGP, Ben Spies has a point to prove on the Yamaha before the end of the season and his switch to the Ducati satellite team, future Ducati factory rider Andrea Dovizioso will be up there as will his current Tech 3 team-mate Cal Crutchlow, and rookie Stefan Bradl will want that first top-three result bad after already coming close in his debut season...
There are only three places on the podium though - who'll take them? Tell us what you think and share your thoughts ahead of this weekend's race, and don't forget to check back on Monday to see what our man on the ground Alex Hofmann has to say about the weekend's happenings in Spain!

This article (although not "new") is pretty alarming.
'm certainly not trying to preach to you on this, because my wife and I are just as guilty as anybody else of getting "sucked into" buying food items for our kids that are: A-relatively inexpensive B-not very healthy.
We are trying to be more cognizant ofwhat we feed our children, but it IS challenging to be as healthy as we'd like to be given: A-the cost of 'healthy' food B-the challenge of researching/finding the foods that are healthiest

Layer Cake: American Banner Rose by Minick and Simpson
Layer Cake: Prairie Paisley II by Minick and Simpson
General sewing supplies
Using 1 Layer Cake each of Minick and Simpson's newest lines, American Banner Rose and Prairie Paisley II, you can create a scrappy quilt in no time. The best part is that you'll be working with the original Layer Cake size (no additional cutting) and the nice people at Moda have already done the color sorting for you!
- Open up each of the Layer Cakes and look to see where the color division from darks to lights accrues. It's right there in the middle. Divide each of the 2 sets into darks and lights for a total of 4 piles.
Relax, this is going to be fun!
- Select one dark and one light swatch. I selected a dark from American Banner Rose and a light from Prairie Paisley II. The beauty of this project is that it allows you to tap into your creativity. Pick any two that you like together. Ideally, you'll want to pick one that is darker then the other. You'll see why soon.
- With the right side facing up on both fabrics, place the two together. Right sides up and stacked on top of each other. Sounds odd already, right? Trust me it will work. It doesn't matter which color value is on top as long as they are both facing up.
- Now we're going to "wacky" cut a grid in the shape of a "tic-tac-toe" board. By wacky, I mean in any size and angle you'd like. The only rule you should consider is not to make the pieces too small or narrow. Below is a picture of my first set of horizontal cuts. I simply placed the rule down on an angle horizontally and gave it a chop. I didn't have to worry about the perfect little cuts, as so many quilts require. For purposes of illustration, I separated the cuts just a bit. You won't need to do this when you get rolling.
- I did the same thing in the vertical direction. You'll note that there isn't any pattern to the cut. It's just "chop, chop" and you're done.
- Next, reverse the order of the middle swatches on the outside rows only. It's very important that you don't mix-up the positioning of the cuts. Simply "deal" the top card to the bottom of the deck without twisting or turning the swatches. The middle swatch isn't touched.
- You'll now see the positive/negative block you've created with 4 easy cuts! Don't peek yet, underneath is another block waiting to be sewn in the opposite configuration. 4 cuts yielding 2 blocks. Can't beat that!
- Normally, we're very concerned with getting our "points" lined up perfectly to create a block. This block throws that idea out the window. Try your best to suspend that hard and fast rule from your quilt brain.
- First, sew the pieces together horizontally in rows (keeping the order of swatches as they appear). Start at the top left hand corner and work across. With right sides together, sew the swatches together other using a ¼" seam allowance. Remember to make sure each swatch is sewn in the correct order.
- I flipped the top left hand swatch onto the middle one and sewed them together. I know, your gut is telling you that the bottoms are off! Only worry about the sides lining up. Don't look at the bottom because it will make your quilter's stomach turn.
- Now flip the right hand corner over and sew it to the segment you just completed. By lining up just the sides, it appears that you're sewing the piece at an odd angle. One of the hardest parts of this block is to forge ahead and not worry about the blocks appearance as you're putting it together. Remember to sew each row across from left to right first. If you try to get fancy and skip ahead, you might be in for big trouble.
- Pictured below is row 1 sewn together. Yes, the keen-eyed quilter noticed that the right hand bottom shows a small space where swatches 2 and 3 are sewn together. Remember that it's on an angle, and as a result, these spaces will creep up. When the block is constructed the little space will disappear!
- Following the same rules as above and sew rows 2 and 3 together horizontally.
- To complete the block, sew the 3 rows together. Start by sewing the top row to the middle. Then the bottom row to the newly sewed piece.
When you're done with block 1, block 2 is right there waiting for you to sew.
The 2 blocks completed:
- When the block was done, I trimmed it to 8.50". Of course, you can trim it to any size given the random appearance. An 8.50" block will yield an 8.00" block when sewn together into a quilt, which makes the math much easier.

Hydration Capacity: 25 oz (.75 L)
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
Redesigned cap and bite valve provide faster flow and enhanced durability.
Flip, Bite and Sip. No tipping required (though possible: just remove the straw).
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
Durable and spill-proof.
Easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger.
100% BPA-Free.
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean.
The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw. For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
To re-assemble the lid:
Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar. Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.
Can I use with carbonated beverages?
You can use any beverage in the CamelBak® eddy™, however we do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink via "tip and sip."
How do I clean the CamelBak® eddy™ with bite valve?
First pull off the bite valve and the straw from the cap. You can clean your bottle by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. For cleaning by hand, you can soak all parts in warm soapy water.
First-time use: What's the clear thing on top of the cap for? Do I remove it or cut it to drink?
The clear thing is the CamelBak® Big Bite™ Valve. This patented feature provides easy drinking and spill-proof safety. Do NOT remove or cut this piece to drink. Simply bite it slightly and sip as you would out of a straw.
Can/How do I freeze the CamelBak® eddy™ with bite valve?
You can freeze the bottle but make sure:
1. The bottle is not completely full when you do this (we recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice).
2. The bottle is right side up
We also recommend that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed.
Can I use the CamelBak® eddy™ in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)?
Yes, but with special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip. You may also twist the cap open to release any pressure and then close before your first sip.
Can I put hot liquids in it?
We do not recommend using with hot drinks because the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw.
How do I know if my bottle is BPA-Free?
The BPA-Free logo will be molded on the base of the CamelBak® eddy™. All CamelBak® bottles are BPA-free.
What happens if I put sports drinks/juice in the CamelBak® eddy™?
Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
Does this new BPA-free eddy™ leach any chemicals? What type of safety testing has been done on the new Bottle?
After rigorous 3rd party testing of the BPA-free eddy™, no harmful chemicals have been detected to come in contact with, or leach into food/beverage surfaces. A FCN (Food Contact Substance Notification) notice #729 declared that Tritan is safe and meets all EPA and FDA guidelines for material that is to come in repeated contact with food. In addition, we have verified that all materials used in the bottle including Tritan meet the stringent guidelines set by California Proposition 65. Extraction tests were completed by independent 3rd party researchers, verifying that the new material meets all requirements as set forth by organizations such as:
FDA food safety standards
European Community food safety standards
Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare
California Prop 65
What max temperature (freezing/boiling water) can the CamelBak® eddy™ withstand?
The CamelBak® eddy™ can withstand being filled with boiling water or stored in below freezing temperatures. We do not recommend boiling the bottle itself.
Is the CamelBak® eddy™ microwave safe?
Feel free to use the CamelBak® eddy™ to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it. Do NOT microwave with the cap in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe.
Does the CamelBak® eddy™ work with back country purifier filters/microfilters?
The CamelBak® eddy™ is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market).
Does it hold residual taste?
No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning.
What happens if I take the straw off?
Removal of the straw allows a "tip and sip" mode of drinking.
What is your BPA-free eddy™ made from?
The CamelBak® eddy™ line is made from a copolyester polymer called Tritan™, made by Eastman®. It offers the same great qualities that we have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100% BPA-Free. The BPA-Free CamelBak® eddy™ is now shipping to retail stores.
The eddy™ Caps are made of Polypropylene – for toughness and sealing performance.
The Big Bite™ Valve is made of Medical-Grade Silicone – for long life and taste-free performance.

Milwaukee Film Festival 2014 Pick: Day Six
A 2014 poll of filmmakers and critics selected the 1929 silent film "Man With a Movie Camera" the best documentary of all time. The film, an impressionistic portrait of Soviet city life during the era, is celebrated for its avant-garde style and pioneering use of now common filmmaking and narrative techniques, including the self-referential perspective that the title suggests.

Farwell Ave. The film will be accompanied by the Alloy Orchestra, considered the premier group performing silent film scores.

Wal-Mart: Morgan wasn't wearing seatbelt in crash

Morgan spent several weeks in rehab with rib and leg injuries. »Read Full Article
Naive American faces tangled web in Windfall Theatre's 'Identita'
"I recognize the contradiction in a contradictory land and a contradictory circumstance." So said President Barack Obama in a sobering interview broadcast over the weekend in which he admitted that Washington had underestimated just how thorny the Syrian situation has become.
As local playwright Louise Zamparutti suggests in "Identita," now receiving its world premiere at Windfall Theatre under Carol Zippel's direction, our efforts to make sense of Iraq, Syria and the Islamic State represent the latest variation on a tried and true theme involving American innocents abroad, in countries where history and memory run deep, through twisted channels we never understand. »Read Full Article

Listening to Patti Smith: 'Twelve' (2007)
As a prelude to the "Smith Uncovered" concert Oct. 18, I'm posting my reflections on Patti Smith's albums, one at a time in chronological order, on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Patti Smith has never been shy about claiming a place in the continuum of rock 'n' roll history, or about assimilating pieces of it to her own ends. Her first single, remember, was a makeover of the chestnut "Hey Joe," most memorably performed by one of her heroes, Jimi Hendrix. »Read Full Article

The unsuccessful Legend of Zelda CG movie pitch from Imagi Animation
Imagi Animation Studios, best known for their work on the theatrical TMNT and Astro Boy, once pitched a CG film based on the world of The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo didn't pick it up.
Superannation (via Kotaku) discovered the clip in an animator's portfolio. The pitch came in 2007, and is a rather big-budget look at what could have been.

HowTo check redis availability and get stats using Redis-py, Zenoss, and Python
My team was assigned to create a redis slave status check to be ran under Zenoss. So while they are creating that check, I decided to google for redis checks written in python that work under Nagios and or Zenoss and none of the checks i found did exactly what I wanted.
So I decided to write my own check, that will grab every piece of data that the redis info() command was able to retrieve. Since this info is all in a python dictionary, I was able to get all the stats that were labeled as type int or as type float, which made my job that much easier.
So 1st I had to install 2 Redis instances on my local Ubuntu server at home. Now that i completed that, I had to make sure the slave was syncing off the master server. I used this link "http://redis.io/topics/replication" to help me configure redis replication.
Now that all that stuff is out of the way, I wrote an easy_peasy python script to connect to redis and grab all of the performance stats. As well as verify if the instance is a master or a slave instance. If it is a slave instance, than it also verifies if it is syncing to the master or not.
The script is using Redis-py that was installed using PIP.
Here is the script I wrote

HowTo add Aggregate Data Graphs from existing datapoints in Zenoss
Recently I had to aggregate the amount of 200, 400, 404, 500, 503, and 504 HTTP 1.1 Codes from all of our Nginx and Ruby On Rails systems. So I decided to write a quick plugin for Zenoss that all you need to do is pass the devices or Device Class you want to aggregate the data from and the DataPoint name.
Also this makes it simple to use the Zenoss Thresholds and create Aggregate Reports based on the datapoints you use with out having to do some fancy python coding… Enjoy
python AllenZenossAggregate.py -h
Usage: AllenZenossAggregate.py -d "nginx-1" -d "nginx-2" -p "nginx_codes_count200"
OK Aggregate for devices nginx-1 nginx-2 is 34|aggregate=34
AllenZenossAggregate.py -o "/Server/Linux/Nginx" -p "nginx_codes_count200"
OK Aggregate for /Server/Linux/Nginx class is 22|aggregate=22
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DEVICE, --device=DEVICE
The device you want to grab the datapoints from.
-o ORGANIZER, --organizer=ORGANIZER
The Class you want to get your list of devices from.
-p DPOINTS, --dpoints=DPOINTS
Name of DataPoint nginx_codes_count200
Monitoring RabbitMQ with Zenoss
RabbitMQ was recently deployed in the company I currently work for. At the last minute ( as always ) they came to me and ask me to please add RabbitMQ monitoring to Zenoss. They said here is the url and now please monitor for a few stats ( using the RabbitMQ Status Plugin ). So I said to myself, I could easily just write a quick shell script to get the 3 stats that they needed and add them into Zenoss. After thinking about it…. In the near future they might ask for more than those 3 stats. So I decided to write a quick python script ( Zenoss Compatible ) to get all the stats from that status page and input them into Zenoss…
- Zenoss 2.5 and above ( I have not tested on 3.+ or <2 .4 )
- lxml Python module "easy_install lxml" as the zenoss user
- "Zenoss_Template_Manager.py" Optional, Only needed if you do not want to add all the datapoints manually… I DON'T!!!!
- RabbitMQ Installed
- RabbitMQ Status Plugin from http://www.lshift.net/blog/2009/11/30/introducing-rabbitmq-status-plugin
- "check_rabbitmq.py"
Zenoss Template Manager = Download
CheckRabbitMQ.py = Download
Once you have all the above, we are ready to go..
- copy both Python Scripts above into the /opt/zenoss/libexec/ folder ( If you are using RedHat/CentOS ) and make sure they are executable.
As the Zenoss user run the script ….
/opt/zenoss/libexec/check_rabbitmq.py -u 'http://rabbitmq-server:55672′ -a 'mon-user mon-passwd' |sed -re "s/^OK|/ /g" |sed -re "s/([A-Za-z0-9_.]+*)?=[0-9]+/-p "1,G"/g" |xargs /opt/zenoss/libexec/Zenoss_Template_Manager.py -o "/Devices/Server/Linux/RabbitMQ" -c '/opt/zenoss/libexec/check_rabbitmq.py -u "http://rabbitmq-server:55672″ -a "mon-user mon-passwd"' –template=RabbitMQ –dsource=RabbitMQStats -V $1
If you need to know how to use the Zenoss_Template_Manager.y script, check here http://www.linuxdynasty.org/howto-add-multiple-datapoints-to-zenoss-using-the-zenoss-api.html
So let me explain what the sed statements above are doing…
- "sed -re "s/^OK|/ /g"" This sed statement is removing the OK| from the beginning of the line
- "sed -re "s/([A-Za-z0-9_.]+*)?=[0-9]+/-p "1,G"/g"
This 1st part of the sed statement is matching any letter,number,underscore, and period, any number of times until it reaches the equal "=" "[A-Za-z0-9_.]+*)?="
The 2nd part of this statement is going to match the "=" and any number of integers after it. "[0-9]+"
Now we need to make the substitution…. So we are going to substitute, every match with a -p, then a space and then the 1st group match in escaped quotes, then a comma and G for GAUGE.
The 2 sed statements above will do that for every match it finds. If you were to add each datapoint by hand, it would look like this….
/opt/zenoss/libexec/Zenoss_Template_Manager.py -o "/Devices/Server/Linux//RabbitMQ" -c '/opt/zenoss/libexec/check_rabbitmq.py -u "http://rabbitmq-server:55672″ -a "mon-user mon-passwd"' –template=RabbitMQ –dsource=RabbitMQStats -V -p "queue.conversion.event.tracking_msg_unack,G" -p "connections,G" -p "erlang_processes_used,G" -p "erlang_processes_avail,G" -p "file_descriptors_used,G" -p "file_descriptors_avai,G" -p "binary_memory,G" -p "memory_used,G" -p "memory_avail,G"
I hope the above scripts will save someone time and frustration……

HowTo Send Splunk Alerts To Zenoss, And make them Look Like Splunk
We needed to integrate the Splunk Alerts into Zenoss, because even though Splunk can indeed send out alerts. Splunk does not have any clue about what an "Escalation Process" is. With Zenoss you can create an "Escalation Process".
I have 2 ways to send events to Zenoss from Splunk..
- Write a Script that uses the snmptrap command.
- Write a Script that uses the Zenoss zensendevent command.
I decided to go with the Zenoss zensendevent command ( Which is a python script with no external dependencies, which can be copied from the Zenoss Server at $ZENHOME/bin/zensendevent ).
Now it's time to get the ball rolling..
- On the Splunk Server I copied the zensendevent script from the Zenoss Server to Splunk on /opt/splunk/bin/scripts/zensendevent.
- I then created a shell script called Splunk2Zenoss.sh. ( This script takes the Saved Splunk Search and passes it over to Zenoss )This script will also be located in /opt/splunk/bin/scripts/Splunk2Zenoss.sh
- You will then need to modify the options in the script. (For instance the severity of the alert, the zenoss server, the event mapping, event key, login and passwd )
- I then created the saved search in Splunk and make sure to check the Trigger Shell Script option. ( Make sure to put the script name in here )

HowTo get 3par disk IO stats into Zenoss
I've come to realize, that CIM is the new SNMP, but on steroids. Most new SAN, NAS, Network, and Operating Systems now support CIM/WBEM. To me it is easier to gather statistics and information through CIM, then it is through SNMP. In this article I am going to give you a script that will allow you to query the 3par for Disk IO stats. You will be able to grab Disk IO stats on a per Volume, per Port, or per Disk basis.You will also be able to search for a Volume, Port, or Disk, instead of just dumping all the Volumes, Ports, or Disk.
Before you download this script, you will need to download pywbem from sourceforge and install it. .
get3ParIOstats.py == Download
All the data that you get from the script, must be saved as a COUNTER and not a GAUGE.
Here is an example of searching for statistics by DISK for DISK 2:6:1..
python get3parIOstats.py -u "http://3par" -a 'login passwd' -s '2:6:1' --diskOK|2:6:1_ReadIOs=67236384 2:6:1_WriteIOs=28457131 2:6:1_TotalIOs=95693515

How to find Alerting Rules using the Zenoss API
Good Afternoon my fellow Zenoss users. here I bring you another Python tool to use with Zenoss. This tool will allow you to list all of your alerting rules, either by Group, User, or Query. If you are like me and have over 100 Alerting Rules. Managing these rules are more then a pain in the butt. Especially when you create a new rule and you know you created it correctly, but it just does not work… Well you might have another conflicting rule. Well what do you do in this situation?? You can go through each rule manually and sooner or later you will find it.
Or you can use my tool to find it for you. You might ask… How will yout tool find the conflicting rule for me??? Well to be honest it will not find the rule for you. What it can do is search all the rules for a certain query. Which can return one or more alerting rules if they are similiar in nature. or you can have the tool, list all of your Alerting rules. Or you can have the script list all of your alerting rules by group or user. The toll will report back to you The Group/User, The Alerting Rules attached to that Group/user, and the Schedules Attached to that Alerting Rules.
Where this tool really helped me, was when the DST changed happened. None of my schedules were working anymore, so the work around is to move all the schedules ahead of time. Using this script I found all my schedules very quickly, with out haveing to go through each of my alerting rules one by one.

HowTo add Multiple DataPoints to Zenoss using the Zenoss API
I've seen a few people in the Zenoss community forums asking for an easier way to add multiple Datapoints into Zenoss, instead of adding 1 by 1. Well, I've decided to try and build such a tool today. Now even though the tool is not complete (IN MY EYES). It is already has been helpful to me! As of right now the script can List Templates in a Organizer ( aka /Devices/Server/Linux ) or in a Device ( zenoss1.linuxdynasty ).
It can also create a Template, with a Command DataSource, with Multiple DataPoints. This means you can now automate the creation of Templates and DataSources and DataPoints. So if you are using a tool like Puppet, Cfengine, Bcfg2, or Chef, this process can be automated. I will be adding more features in the next few weeks.
Any question or help about this script, please post them here http://www.linuxdynasty.org/forums/Scripting/scripting/ZenossTemplateManager
- Update 1.0.6, Fixed an issue where if youdo not pass the -G option for graph it will fail.
- Update 1.0.5, Now have the ability to add multiple graphs with multiple datapoints
- Update 1.0.4, Now have the ability to create thresholds, bind templates to class or device, set severities on thresholds and
datasources, attach datapoints to thresholds.
- Update 1.0.3, I broke down the templateManager function into 3 smaller functions. You also can now list templates and datasources for either device or organizer, and list datapoints for a device. I also added more verbosity with the -V option.
- Update 1.0.2, You now do not have to pass a command with the script. So i f you already have a command in the DataSource, it wll not get overwritten.. Thank you Eangel, for telling me about this issue..
Upcoming Features such as….
- Deleteing Templates, DataSources, and DataPoints
- Copying Templates
- Adding Graphs
The tool is called Zenoss_Template_Manager.py. You can download it here..

The old standards sometimes just don't do it for people. No matter the subject, be it music, movies, sports, life or food, everything needs to evolve.
Barbecue is no different, apparently.
While there is great joy in savoring a slab of smoky, meaty slow-cooked brisket, ribs, pulled pork and snappy, spicy hot links; there are others out there looking to take a left turn on the BBQ path.
This movement isn't just taking place in the BIG city either; two titans of Texas barbecue are rolling out new takes on the tried and true style.
It's not just the smoking materials, or spices in the rubs that's changing. It's also about the cooking method and the food being prepared. Ever think of combining sous-vide cooking with barbecue? How about smoked duck confit, or oysters?
It's a whole new world of experience an old world way of cooking.

Good product
nice boardfeel
but the back of the shoe (around the heel) breaks when putting my foot in!
I have quite the extensive shoe collection. I'm constantly searching for a shoe that looks and feels great for a decent price. These shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They're sort of snug when you first put them on, but they seem to form to your foot after an hour or so. The only downside is that the backing goes up pretty high; if you wear low-cut socks, this may cause discomfort until your skin gets used to it. I love these shoes. I'll be leaving another comment once I get around to skating in them. (I haven't finished skating my old shoes)
Quite possibly my favorite skate shoe of all time. I have a narrow foot, and this shoe fits perfectly. Nice snug fit, great board feel, and classic vulc style. Keep the color ways comin!

My order is exactly like I expected and I never had an order so fast at my home.
Everything was perfect.

I BMX and this shoe is so comfortable for me to ride in. You get the feel of the pedal and they are just an amazing shoe. If you are riding no brakes, the shoes run out pretty fast, but on the other hand I recommend them.
Sick shoe,
great board feelin' , and it has style for days !
