Hello, I am interested in buying this theme. Have a few queries though:
1. Can i have a small menu on the left / right where people can choose the Brand name and accordingly products of that brand will be displayed.
2. Also this is for a site in India, how easy is it to have a drop down for states in India.
3. Is credit card integration and cash on delivery in billing options easy to integrate?
1,2. you can install extension for this function.
3. It's integrate credit card and cash on delivery in billing options. you can configuration in admin.
I'm interested in buying this theme as I think it will suit my new project.
I have a few questions (perhaps stupid) as I'm not a webdesigner or an expert.
1) If I buy the template and install it (I have to learn how to) will it look like exactly the demo? (as I have no clue how to work with it, I would swap products and descriptions etc…)
2) Will it look like your shop even tough my brand new magento shop has no categories, products or nothing set yet?
The idea is as follow:
I have no experience, so using a template I will swap products and price them as I wish, without having to program anything, bcus i really don't know how to do anything in magento.
(never studied HTML,CSS, JAVA, PHP etc….)
Sorry about the ignorance,
Thank for your interested.
You can buy this theme then you install it like our demo. If you have any question you can contact us. We will help you. You don't worry.
You can manage categories, products, price, description …. in admin panel. It's very easy without you use HTML, CSS …
Ok. I will trust you. As soon I intall the template it will be exactly your demo store.
Many thanks
Hi. How do I install it? Is there any instructions available? Thanks
you can install quickstart package. You see instruction in the documentation folder
I can not increase the amount of "New Products" and "Featured Products". I would like to leave with 9 and 9 in every situation, but they are only in slides.
You can increase the mount of "New products" and "Featured products" in admin configuration. admin > magentothem > fancy product ( featured products slider) > configuration > then change "Qty Of Products: "regards,
I've done the procedure to increase the quantity, but the products are only in a column on the slide. I need to increase the amount of products on the homepage VISIBLE from 3 to 9 items in 3 columns one below the other.
Show only slide a column does not suit me. =)Understand? Notice Link: http://gladiadores.com.br/
The homepage only displays up to 4 products at a fixed column (slide) I need to show several products in various columns and this is not possible. I do not know what else to do.I want to show several products, please note: http://mmashop.com.br/ http://www.mmasemlimites.com.br/
The "New products" is vertical scroller. It show only 1 column. The "Featured products" is horizontal scroller It show only 1 row. If you want Featured products show more row you can use other extension http://www.plazathemes.com/free4you.html
I'm interested to know if I can ADD an RSS news feed somewhere on the main page? If yes, please advise how.
You can see instruction this article: http://www.sjlwebdesign.co.uk/sjl-blog/index.php/web-design/add-rss-feed-to-magento/.

I got Charlie Crist on the phone Friday afternoon, fresh from his speech endorsing President Obama at the Democratic National Convention.
"Should I call you governor, ex-governor, future governor?" I asked.
"Charlie always works," Crist said.
On Twitter, his former Florida Republican colleagues have hashtagged him "2faceCharlie." If they really wanted to be mean, they could have called him "SwitchhitterCharlie."
Crist's political conversion is almost complete – from Reagan Republican to Obama-hugging Democrat – and the big question now rippling through Florida is whether Crist will try to get his old job back in 2014 by taking on Republican incumbent Rick Scott.
Everything seems to be pointing toward another run for governor, but Crist was coy when I asked about his future.
"I've seen that speculation, too," Crist said, adding that he's spent recent weeks talking with prominent Florida Democrats like Bob Graham and Bob Butterworth.
Crist told me his focus until Nov. 6 is "doing everything I can to get a good man re-elected and restore civility in politics." He'll be stumping with Obama throughout the campaign season; they appeared together Saturday in St. Petersburg.
Why doesn't he just jump already and become a Democrat?
"I don't know," Crist said. "My wife already switched last year."
What does he think about Gov. Scott's performance? "I'm just disappointed in him," Crist said. "The first thing that disappointed me was when he turned down the bullet train money [from the federal government]…Common sense didn't prevail and ideology won out."
Crist said he's been bothered by other Scott actions, like new voter restrictions and a revamp of the state's unemployment system that makes it harder for the jobless to collect benefits.
Crist remains an independent for now – a useful strategy for the Obama campaign that wants to capture Florida moderates. Crist split with the Republicans in 2010, when he was running for U.S. Senate while governor. Trailing Marco Rubio badly in the polls before the primary, he went independent. In the general election, Rubio got 49 percent, Crist 30 percent and Democrat Kendrick Meek 20 percent.

Had a great experience at this hotel. Great service, well-stocked kitchen, and ample space in the room/loft for our family (which included 3 very young kids).
Innkeeper Response
So Glad you enjoyed your stay!! Hope to see you again

We had an easy time locating the B&B, owner was very friendly on the phone recommending routes to get there and some basic instructions for parking and getting around. Friendly but not intrusive staff. Clean, comfortable room & bathroom. Overall prefect place to stay if you're in Aspen with plenty of brochures, restaurant recommendations and local maps. The only frustration my husband and I had was the breakfast was wimpy. Variety of breads (bagels, toast, English muffins, and mini muffins), and not much else. They had eggs the on site staff would make, but I don't know... past B&B experiences I felt as though I could expect an organized and substantial breakfast not just a snack before you head out for the day. What was provided was less than a continental breakfast at a regular hotel.

On a recent trip to Aspen, we stayed at the Snow Queen and what a treat it was. Norma (mom) and David (son) were the perfect hostess and host, along with Taylor who fixed us breakfast each day. We stayed in "Best Friend" which gave us some extra room that we always appreciate. It is only a four or five block walk to everything in downtown Aspen. When we head back to Aspen, Snow Queen will be our first choice to stay.

We had to rearrange our trip to Colorado at the last minute and decided to head to Aspen. Given that it was the end of the season, we kept our fingers crossed that we could find a place other than a hotel. The Snow Queen is a hidden gem and Norma (mom) and David (son) were our gracious hostess and host along with Taylor and two new folks that will be joining in early October. We stayed in "Best Friend" with a small kitchen area attached to give us some extra room. It is only four blocks to anywhere in downtown Aspen's shops and restaurants. Try it, you will like it!

I've spent two days with my family in Aspen, and Snow Queen Lodge was a great choice. It's a clean and feel welcoming lodge.

My 13-year old daughter and I stayed at the Snow Queen for an X-Games weekend. This was a great lodging option for our girls trip. Walking down to breakfast in the mornings with "M" got our days started off right. The location is so convenient to everything too. Thanks David & M for a making this a memorable stay!

The space was great! Very clean with plenty of linens, towels, & kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint was that the TV/cable was not working and the WiFi was extremely slow. My husband had to go to the coffee shop to answer business emails.

We had a wonderful stay at the Snow Queen. Ms M was super nice and made a great hot breakfast for us. The hot tub is a great way to relax after a great day on the slopes. Easy to walk everywhere in town too!

Great small hotel in the center of Aspen! Rooms are outstanding, service was great and very kind people! Thank you!

Snow Queen is a great B&B, best priced in Aspen that also accepts BedandBreakfast.com gift cards. We stay in the silver queen, like the easy outside access as we mountain bike. We like the ease of the self check in b/c it doesn't put constraints on our schedule and having to arrive at a certain time frame. But you get the best of both worlds as it is still a B&B feel when you meet up in the kitchen for breakfast. It's the time to mingle w/ the Inn Keepers and other vacation folks. The Snow Queen is a quaint B&B right in town, we walked everywhere for dinner and was even able to pedal our bikes to trails from there. Again- great value for Aspen. M, David and the owner are all very sweet people, can't wait to go back! Michelle and Kevin

The B&B is exactly what we were looking for as a couple on a budget. We wanted to see Aspen in the fall & it was the most affordable option. It exceeded my expectations, very cute house & decor. The breakfast was great & even had tea for my British fiancé. M was very helpful & friendly. Would recommend for non-luxury weekend trip.
4.2 on October 01, 2016
The Snow Queen is a fun place to stay in Aspen. Clean room at a good price! Located 1 block from the heart of downtown Aspen (3 minute walk). M was super nice but watch out for her french toast. :-) We will be back at the Snow Queen again.
4.8 on October 01, 2016
We arrived regular check-in hours and there was no parking. We called the number provided and Dan directed us to auxiliary parking. Information on local restaurants was available, we found a great place within easy walking distance. The next morning Dan and his mother provided a full breakfast and chatted with all the guests. One of the friendliest receptions we have had at a B&B.

Best trip ever.

We had a fantastic stay in Snow Lodge. We felt almost we were at home. Specially de lady "M" was very kind and offered us an excellent breakfast and a cozy atmosphere. She is really special. We recommend!! Sonia and Paulo

What a great place to stay when you are in Aspen. The rooms are wonderful, breakfast is served with a smile and the staff makes you feel right at home. This beautiful Victorian is very impressive with a mixture from the past to the present. I have stayed there twice and will go back again next time I am in Aspen. Jo-Ann

Great stay at the Snow Queen Lodge. We were a large group that took over all the rooms. We were in town for a wedding at the Little Nell and wanted a place that was both comfortable and casual. The rooms were tidy and the owners were friendly and warm. We liked that they were not always around babysitting us. They trusted us to be respectful and we were. Other travelers seem to be a bit needier and want the owners around. When we needed them, they were available. We found it to be very affordable given how expensive Aspen is and other properties were more expensive with comparable accommodations. It was also well-located and we could walk everywhere in town within ten minutes. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it.

Our flight arrived in Aspen before 9:00 AM Saturday morning. David let me know through an e-mail that our rooms were not being used Friday night, so if we wanted to stop by and check in Saturday morning and freshen up after our flight, that would be OK. "M" and Norma welcomed us and helped us settle in and we felt more like being at home with family. Any time we were around the kitchen table, "M" would sit and join us and provide helpful suggestions about places to eat or things to do around the area. I personally wanted to invite her to go site seeing with us and be part of our family and guide us around the area, but knew she had responsibilities around the Snow Queen she had to attend to. Norma was a darling to visit with and David was always friendly and helpful, especially when we were trying to get some group pictures taken. The Snow Queen is a home away from home.
4.6 on May 17, 2010
We had the place to ourselves. Great location in downtown Aspen. We were able to walk to dinner.

I came to Aspen the first time ever and was looking for a room to stay for one night. I got the address of the "Snow Queen Lodge" from the tourist information desk. When i saw this little Lodge, i was excited of that historic house and its pretty blue painting. The rooms were really nice and lovingly equiped with historical goods, pictures and furnitures. The historic oven in the living room made me feel like a time traveller to the bygone days of the first pioneers in Aspen. All in all i had a very warm and intimate feeling. I travel a lot through the world, but a hotel room that gave me such a "homelike" feeling, i never saw before. I was welcomed by a young, friendly lady who explained all the rooms and told me some interesting things about Aspen. The night was very quiet, warm and comfortable. The breakfast was really private, delicious and abundand. Further more, i had again a cute conversation with the young lady about the live and habits in Colorado and Aspen. Thanks again to her. She cares about the house in the name of the owner. As a conclusion, i will definitively come back to the Snow Queen Lodge some day. Thanks again for having me at that wonderful place.

Male Height:23 - 25 inches tall
Male Weight:55 - 70 pounds
Female Height:21- 23 inches tall.
Female Weight: 45 - 60 pounds
Living Area:These dogs require an enclosure with a high fence. They are known to jump fences as high as six feet with little trouble. They are great escape artists, and should never be left unattended outside. German Shorthaired Pointers develop very strong bonds with their owners, and should be with them as much as possible. Kenneling such a breed all the time could lead to boredom, hyperactivity, and aggression. If the dog must be kenneled at times, the fence should be high and preferably with a top on it. He should not be able to dig a hole out. The fence should be strong, since this breed is great at escaping enclosures.City or apartment life is not ideal for such a breed, as their most common cause of death is being hit by a car. They should have a fenced in yard with room to run and play. They need to be exercised off lead, another reason city leaving is not ideal.GSPs are adaptable to almost any climate, their short but dense coat leaves them able to tolerate the cold as well as the heat.

A structurally correct German Shorthaired Pointer is lean, well-balanced, athletic, and graceful, yet powerful, and of medium size. They have moderately floppy ears, soft to the touch and set high on the head. The muzzle is long and broad, making it easier to retrieve game. The muzzle should never be pointed. Eyes are generally dark brown in color, with yellow being a fault. The eyes should not be set too close and should be almond shaped instead of round. The nose should also be brown and as large as possible, with nostrils broad and well opened. Teeth should form a scissor bite, and any under or overbite is penalized. A powerful jaw with well developed muscles is required to carry game for long periods of time. The dog should be evenly muscled, and a healthy weight maintained. The last two ribs should be felt under the coat with a distinct waist line. The shoulders should slope, creating a powerful back and strong quarters. Spoon shaped feet should be compact with arched toes and heavy nails. Pads should be hard and thick. Thin or fine bones are not desirable as this dog should possess strength and durability to be able to work over any type of terrain. Tails are docked 60%, should never be curled, and should hang down when the dog is quiet, horizontal when walking. When sitting down, the dog should be able to sit on his tail. Dew claws are removed as puppies to prevent injury when working as adults. Dew claws have the tendency to be ripped when running in fields. Overall the dog should be well balanced and proportioned.The conformation of both show and working Shorthairs should be similar, as the breed description compliments its hunting abilities.
We have German Shorthaired Pointer Puppies For Sale, please support our German Shorthaired Pointer breeders!
The coat on a German Shorthaired Pointer is rough on the hand, short, thick, and flat. On the ears and head, the hair is softer. Hair may be longer under the tail and the back edges of the haunches, but any long hair on the body is a fault and should be severely penalized in the show ring.A dense undercoat protected by the stiff body hair makes the dog water resistant and better adaptable to cold weather.Colors such as black, red, orange, lemon, tan, or solid white are not permitted and are disqualified in the American Kennel Club. However, German standards permit colors such as black and a slight sandy color, known as Gelber Brand, which is extremely rare.
The German Shorthaired Pointer breed was developed in Germany during the 1800's for hunting. They were created by crossing old Spanish pointers with numerous other breeds such as scent hounds and tracking hounds; Foxhounds, Italian Pointers, German Tracking Hounds, German Bird Dogs, and English Pointers. The combination created a responsive, lean, hunting dog with great versatility, being able to retrieve both fur and feather, on land and water. Breeders focused on the basis of function rather than form, in creating the breed. German Shorthaired Pointers were accepted into the American Kennel Club in 1930, their parent club holding the first specialty show in 1941.The efforts of nineteenth century German breeders, has created a dog today that is one of the most versatile of all gun dogs and an ideal weekend hunter. They do well in companion hunting as well as field trials, hunt tests, tracking trials, and the show ring.
This breed was created to be a family friendly dog as well as a hunter. German shorthairs should be an affectionate and intelligent dog that is easy to train and willing to please. They are cheerful, friendly, comical and sociable. German shorthairs love children and do well with them, but sometimes as puppies they can be too boisterous. If taught from early on to be gentle, as adults they can make great companions to children. Most German Shorthairs make excellent watch dogs because they are protective and loyal to their family. They love to be with their people, and crave interaction and mental stimulation. A German Shorthair that lacks socialization and exercise could show behaviors such as aggression, destructiveness, and shyness. Males tend to be dominant and outgoing, while females tend to be less dominant. Both genders need a strong owner with the knowledge of being a pack leader and staying in charge of their dog. An owner that is too easy going will find their dog overpowers them and will not be controllable. They tend to be a "one-man" dog.This breed is extremely smart. Intelligence, combined with energy, creates a dog that needs to keep his mind and body occupied. Teaching the dog commands such as sit, stay, down, come, etc. keeps the mind occupied and satisfied, as well as vigorous exercise. If raised with other pets, German Shorthairs can do well with other dogs and cats. However, they are a hunting breed and small pets such as birds, small mammal's and reptiles may be considered game to them. If left alone too long, they can become destructive. It is recommended to crate or kennel them when being left alone. Crate training can begin when they are young puppies and can be a valuable tool for the rest of their life. However, over-crating can be destructive. The GSP is one of the more noisy hunting dogs. It should be taught when they are young when barking is acceptable and when it is not, to prevent nuisance barking.
German Shorthairs are generally considered a healthy breed, but they can be prone to disorders such as:
Although German Shorthair Pointer has a short, rough coat, it does shed a lot. Weekly brushing will help to lessen the shedding, especially with a brush that will get to the undercoat, like a bristle brush. Proper diet will also help reduce shedding, and supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil. Bathing should only be done when necessary and the dog should always be dried off after hunting, to prevent chill. Feet should be checked after working in fields. Burrs, sticks, prickers, and other foreign objects can become embedded into the pads.The ears should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection.
Because the German Shorthair is a hunting dog, they naturally have a lot of energy to burn and can be tireless. They need to be with an active family that can provide lots of outdoor activities, preferably off lead. They should not be taken on as a family pet if the family does not hunt. It is possible to exercise them in forms other than hunting, but it requires a dedicated family.Besides hunting, some other activities the breed enjoys is swimming, running, agility, tracking, mushing, carting, scootering, and obedience. They will take as much exercise as you can give them. Their natural instinct to hunt will lead them to exercise themselves if not provided by their owner, which could lead to hyperactivity and destructiveness.They need to be taken for walks, preferably off lead, at least twice a day. A walk around the block on a leash will not cut it for this breed, and if that is all that can be provided, the owner will find a dog that may overwhelmingly hyperactive.
German Shorthaired Pointers require an owner with an experience with dogs, since they require a lot of formal training. It is in their nature to work in far distances from their handler, and such a dog needs to be trained to know the handler is in charge and to come when called. These are one of the few hunting breeds that can perform in almost all gundog roles; pointer, retriever, water and upland bird dog, and scent hounds. They are easily trained to do such activities, but it takes time to perfect. If not being used as a hunter, they still require formal training. Puppy classes, obedience, agility, or other forms of training are all desirable for the breed. A dog left untrained will not be a manageable dog, as his mind will become bored. German Shorthairs should be taught early on a method called NILIF, Nothing In Life is Free. This means they must work for and earn everything. Before they eat, play, go outside, come inside, go for walks, etc., they should perform a command. The command can be something as simple as sit or down, just as long as they earn what they are getting. This will help the dog realize its place in the pack and know he is not in charge.

Procedures: Step-by-Step
- To develop a small Solar PV project in Malaysia, project developers must first identify and select a suitable site for building a small Solar PV plant.
- At the same time, permission for grid connection must be obtained.
- Typically, project developers establish a special purpose company (SPC) to develop, construct and operate a small Solar PV plant. The establishment of such a company must be done from the outset.
- Several permits must be obtained from the government and relevant authorities.
- A provisional license must be obtained from the Energy Commission, allowing a project developer to generate electricity in Malaysia.
- Financing must be secured from banks or financial institutions.
- After the financial closure, procurement and construction may then proceed.
- After completion of small Solar PV power plant construction, inspection and testing must be conducted.
- After COD, the small Solar PV plant may begin operating.

What's happened to the 3 hot guys from Prince of Lan Ling?
Now that Ariel Lin is married in real life, what has happened to Feng Shao Feng, Daniel Chan, and George Hu, the three hot guys in her Prince of Lan Ling drama series? The popular historical romance was also the only non-Korean drama that made it to the Top 10 Most-Watched Dramas in 2014. We thought we'd track down the three wanted men and find out what they've been doing, especially in their love life.
Watch The Prince of Lan Ling:
1. Feng Shao Feng (Prince of Lang Ling)
Chinese actor Feng Shao Feng played Prince of Lan Ling, one of the most handsome men and famous warriors in China's recorded history. In real life, he is quite a gentleman and has been dating his girlfriend, actress Ni Ni, for some time. The couple appears to be heading to the altar eventually, but there is no official news yet.
Feng's latest project is playing a famous monk from the Tang dynasty in a fantasy movie that also stars the internationally famous actress Gong Li.
2 Daniel Chan (Yuwen Yung)
Hong Kong heartthrob, singer, and actor Daniel Chan played the emperor who deeply loved and protected Xue Wu (Ariel Lin) but ultimately died of a broken heart. What's happened to Daniel in real life has been quite dramatic as well.
After Prince of Lan Ling gave him a resurgence of popularity, Daniel went to Taiwan to film Love SOS, a romance comedy drama where he played a medical doctor. While filming on location, he met a nurse and fell in love. They married in 2014, and their baby daughter was born in July last year. Before he met his future wife, Daniel had gone through 7 love affairs. Now he appears to be extremely happy with his married life.
3. George Hu (Prince of An De)
Taiwanese-American actor and singer George Hu appeared inseparable with co-star Annie Chen after filming Love Now and Love Around, two popular romance comedies available on DramaFever, but they have never officially confirmed their romance. Recently they starred in separate romantic comedies opposite different leads. When 25-year-old Annie was recently asked about marriage plans, she said it will take at least three years before she gets married. George Hu's name was not mentioned directly.
George just completed Love Cheque Charge in December 2014, and we are excited to see him in person when he comes to host the Third Annual DramaFever Awards on February 5!

Although the management of online casino companies spend many hours ensuring that their sites are easy to use, understand and navigate, the first visit to a site can be a bit daunting.
Some of the common queries we see are the legality of internet gambling, who to trust online, security, data protection, bonuses and the registration process. There are also other pertinent questions about playing at online casino that aren't always made that clear (unless you're willing to read through lots of terms and conditions and jargon).
In order to help first-timers through their formative stages, we've put together an 'academy' that contains step-by-step guides to getting started at an online casino. Whether you want to know about the legal aspects, what an RNG is or how to stay safe, we got you covered.

There has been knitting
My me time is of course quite often, knitting time. The brain aint up to anything too advanced right now, that will hopefully not be the case in a month or two but for now I need nice simple yet very satisfying knitting.
I knit Kate some mitts for her birthday and I am so happy to see she likes them (or I may have had to take them back heheee because I liked them too!!!) They are my own pattern and I am working on a second pair now to iron out the pattern and then I will make it available to buy. You can get a lookie over on Kate's blog, I forgot to take any pictures before I sent them off! Stupid girl!!!
I am knitting Lizard Ridge too, this winter as we all know has been disgustingly cold wet and just plain miserable. This all leads to us NEEDING this to be made.....you listening dearest....I HAD to buy that noro...HAD TO! Actually I got it for a complete bargain price and have been able to get enough to make this at a fraction of the usual price. In fact it was such a bargain I got silk garden instead of kueryon as it was just as cheap.
Its coming along nicely, its a great mindless knit, I only have to think once every five rows which is great. But ask me how its going in a few days when its getting heavy to turn on the wrap rows.
I also have a sock on the go. This is a special sock due to the yarn though. Its some very pretty and soft handspun from Zero markers over on etsy. She sells lovely markers made from fresh water pearls, semi-precious stones and paper beads wrapped in wire, they are lovely markers and she is a complete star! She also sells some of her handspun from time to time too and I have been desperate to try it out for ages after watching her making socks on her blog. So by complete chance I was playing with the pounce feature on etsy and up popped her shop and there was the yarn and I HAD to have it. I wasn't disappointed. Its knitting up into gentle stripes and feels amazing, I cant wait to finish a sock and try it on. You can read about her spinning and knitting over at Sock Pron (blog link in my blogs I read list to the right)

With HDX 3D Pro you can deliver graphically intensive applications as part of hosted desktops or applications on Desktop OS machines. HDX 3D Pro supports physical host computers (including desktop, blade, and rack workstations) and XenServer VMs with GPU Passthrough and XenServer VMs with Virtual GPU (vGPU).
Using XenServer GPU Passthrough, you can create VMs with exclusive access to dedicated graphics processing hardware. You can install multiple GPUs on the hypervisor and assign VMs to each of these GPUs on a one-to-one basis.
Using XenServer vGPU, multiple virtual machines can directly access the graphics processing power of a single physical GPU. The true hardware GPU sharing provides full Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 SP1 desktops suitable for users with complex and demanding design requirements. Supported for NVIDIA GRID K1 and K2 cards, the GPU sharing uses the same NVIDIA graphics drivers that are deployed on non-virtualized operating systems.
The H.264-based deep compression codec no longer competes with graphics rendering for CUDA cores on the NVIDIA GPU. The deep compression codec runs on the CPU and provides bandwidth efficiency.
For lossless compression: HDX 3D Pro uses the lossless codec for compression regardless of the codec selected through policy.
For lossy compression: HDX 3D Pro uses the original codec, either the default or the one selected through policy.
Lossless switch settings are not retained for subsequent sessions. To use lossless codec for every connection, select Always lossless in the Visual quality policy setting.
Caution: Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.
HDX 3D Pro also provides limited support for dual-monitor access to Windows XP desktops. For more information about this, see VDAs on machines running Windows XP or Windows Vista.
The VDA for HDX 3D Pro uses the appropriate hardware on the host to compress views of the complete desktop or of just the graphical application.
When you use the installer's graphical interface to install a VDA for Windows Desktop OS, simply select Yes on the HDX 3D Pro page. When using the command line interface, include the /enable_hdx_3d_pro option with the XenDesktop VdaSetup.exe command.
To upgrade HDX 3D Pro, uninstall both the separate HDX 3D for Professional Graphics component and the VDA before installing the VDA for HDX 3D Pro. Similarly, to switch from the standard VDA for Windows Desktop OS to the HDX 3D Pro VDA, uninstall the standard VDA and then install the VDA for HDX 3D Pro.
The NVIDIA GRID API provides direct access to the frame buffer of the GPU, providing the fastest possible frame rate for a smooth and interactive user experience. If you install NVIDIA drivers before you install a VDA with HDX 3D Pro, NVIDIA GRID is enabled by default.
To enable NVIDIA GRID on a VM, disable Microsoft Basic Display Adapter from the Device Manager. Run the following command and then restart the VDA: Montereyenable.exe -enable -noreset
If you install NVIDIA drivers after you install a VDA with HDX 3D Pro, NVIDIA GRID is disabled. Enable NVIDIA GRID by using the Montereyenable tool provided by NVIDIA.
To disable NVIDIA GRID, run the following command and then restart the VDA: Montereyenable.exe -disable -noreset
To use HDX 3D Pro with multiple monitors, ensure that the host computer is configured with at least as many monitors as are attached to user devices. The monitors attached to the host computer can be either physical or virtual.
Do not attach a monitor (either physical or virtual) to a host computer while a user is connected to the virtual desktop or application providing the graphical application. Doing so can cause instability for the duration of a user's session.
Let your users know that changes to the desktop resolution (by them or an application) are not supported while a graphical application session is running. After closing the application session, a user can change the resolution of the Desktop Viewer window in the Citrix Receiver - Desktop Viewer Preferences.
When multiple users share a connection with limited bandwidth (for example, at a branch office), Citrix recommends that you use the Overall session bandwidth limit policy setting to limit the bandwidth available to each user. This ensures that the available bandwidth does not fluctuate widely as users log on and off. Because HDX 3D Pro automatically adjusts to make use of all the available bandwidth, large variations in the available bandwidth over the course of user sessions can negatively impact performance.
For example, if 20 users share a 60 Mbps connection, the bandwidth available to each user can vary between 3 Mbps and 60 Mbps, depending on the number of concurrent users. To optimize the user experience in this scenario, determine the bandwidth required per user at peak periods and limit users to this amount at all times.
For users of a 3D mouse, Citrix recommends that you increase the priority of the Generic USB Redirection virtual channel to 0. For information about changing the virtual channel priority, see Knowledge Center article CTX128190.

The Treasury has released a background paper prepared by the Treasury for the February 2009 tax conference "New Zealand Tax Reform - Where To Next?" run by the Centre for Accounting, Governance and Taxation Research (CAGTR) and the Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation (ISCR) at Victoria University of Wellington.
The conference was run with the support of the Treasury and Inland Revenue and was held at Rutherford House, Wellington, 11 to 13 February. Other papers and abstracts from the conference are available on the CAGTR website's Tax Policy Conference page.
Executive Summary
- Our tax system is basically sound and generally performs well by international standards. However our increasing integration into the global economy, especially Australia, is putting greater pressure on the NZ tax system.
- These pressures are best addressed through a strategy of incremental reform towards a clear long-term vision for the NZ tax system. This would have a number of advantages including: guiding each step in a series of tax reductions, introducing more certainty and clearer expectation around the direction and motivation for change, and establishing a debate focussed around medium-term strategy rather than immediate issues.
- The international dimension is crucial: our tax bases are becoming more internationally mobile. New Zealand probably has the most internationally mobile labour force in the OECD, and we have very high levels of inward investment.
- Two emerging concerns are:
- Relatively high effective personal marginal tax rates including abatement of tax credits (exceeding 50% for many households).
- Very different marginal tax rates applicable to different investment types, distorting investment into tax-favoured vehicles and generating tax-motivated incorporation.
- We consider that, from an efficiency and productivity growth perspective, the highest priority is to reduce this disparity, first by cutting the current top personal tax rates.
- A broader programme of rationalisation of income tax rates and base broadening (including taxing capital gains) would likely offer greater productivity gains than rate reductions alone.
- Aggregate measures of the distribution of income are relatively insensitive to changes in tax scale design. Transfers have a far bigger impact on these aggregate measures. Net taxes (taxes less transfers) are negligible or negative for the bottom half of households ranked by income. Therefore suitably targeted transfers (and base broadening measures such as capital gains taxation) are more direct means of delivering equity objectives.
- Average corporate tax rates in the OECD continue to trend down, and NZ's 30% rate is relatively high, with small OECD countries having an average company tax rate of 26% in 2008.
- International pressures to reduce our corporate tax rate further are likely to intensify. Finding a suitable balance between (lower) corporate rates and a compatible set of personal tax rates in the medium-term will be crucial for revenue-raising and economic efficiency.
- Demographic factors - in the form of population ageing - will become more important over the next 20-50 years with more taxpayers relying on (untaxed) pensions and consuming a greater fraction of their incomes.
- The above factors suggest longer-term gains from moving towards a tax system more heavily weighted towards consumption taxes and examining the feasibility (over a longer horizon) of a greater contribution from property taxes.

Republican leaders intended to return to work with a dream agenda for small-government conservatives: permanent repeal of the estate tax, an extension of deep cuts to capital gains and dividend taxes, the first entitlement spending cuts in nearly a decade, and the advent of private investment accounts for Social Security.
But Congress and the White House are on the spot to respond to Hurricane Katrina's historic Gulf Coast destruction and skyrocketing gasoline prices, and the leadership is feeling pressure to set aside or jettison parts of that well-laid agenda.
The federal budget already is stretched by spending on the war in Iraq and a nearly $11 billion emergency hurricane relief package that was rushed through Congress late this week. GOP leaders will have to justify additional tax relief for upper-income people at a time of civil and economic crisis.
"How do you do tax cuts when your budget is straining to save lives?" asked Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla). The Ways and Means Committee on which Foley serves had been set to pass a package of tax cuts and spending cuts by the end of September, followed by broad, controversial Social Security legislation. Katrina "is going to have a tremendous impact," he added.
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) said he has every intention of pushing forward with the tax and spending cuts and Social Security legislation. Hurricane-related legislation will not be controversial and "may mean we work on a Friday or two," he said.
Asked at a news conference whether tax cuts are wise when the government is pouring billions of dollars into emergency aid, Blunt replied: "I think we need to look at what we need to do to be sure that the economy isn't affected more than it needs to. . . . We'll be thinking about that."
Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) implored Republicans late last week to drop plans to take up permanent repeal of the estate tax soon after Congress returns to work. "With thousands presumed dead after Hurricane Katrina and families uprooted all along the Gulf Coast, giving tax breaks to millionaires should be the last thing on the Senate's agenda," Reid said.
Marshall Wittmann, a former Republican political strategist now with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, said the GOP agenda looks like "political suicide."
"The entire fiscal landscape has been transformed in the last week," Wittmann said. "The entire Republican agenda of tax cuts, Social Security reform and big spending on pet Republican projects is over. Events do eventually have an impact on Capitol Hill."
With the government's response to the hurricane disaster fast becoming a sensitive political issue, Republicans are responding cautiously to Democratic criticism. Amy Call, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.) said the plan is still to move to legislation repealing the estate tax this week. "However, we remain willing and able to return to Katrina business at any time," she said.
Eric Ueland, another Frist aide, said that Frist, a surgeon, planned to spend the weekend assisting medical and relief personnel in the Gulf Coast region "so he can bring the best judgment to bear with how to proceed to keep moving Senate business forward while being able to respond to critical Katrina needs."
This week, the House will move on a variety of hurricane-related items including allowing the federal court in New Orleans to reconvene on dry land and allowing Louisiana food-stamp recipients to claim assistance in Texas, Blunt said.
Rep. E. Clay Shaw Jr. (R-Fla.), a Ways and Means member, said some tax cut plans will have to change. Bush's push to add private investment accounts to Social Security is also all but lost.
"I think all of us are in a little bit of shock at the human misery and anarchy that seems to be prevailing," he said. "The problems in the Gulf states are going to dwarf any other business of the Congress -- as it should."
Rep. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), whose home in Metairie is submerged, said: "I haven't had time to think about legislative items, but we will be consumed with this. This has got to be my focus."
That will mean money. Jindal said the needs are almost incomprehensible: housing whole communities until homes can be reclaimed or rebuilt, salvaging levees and dams, educating thousands of displaced children, rebuilding an entire electricity grid, and getting the Gulf's energy industry back up and running.
Lawmakers and aides say relief spending could easily double the $10.5 billion that Congress hastily approved as part of a relief package. And it will not be for the immediate hurricane victims only.
Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.) said he will push for assistance to Midwestern farmers, hurt by drought and now by grain prices that have plunged on word that grain harvests cannot be shipped down the Mississippi River for export because of hurricane damage. Republican Sens. Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine requested $900 million in emergency heating assistance to defray surging heating oil costs.
Another priority is likely to be surging gasoline prices, which could soon approach $4 a gallon in some parts of the country. Rep. Joe Barton (Tex.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said he will convene a hearing Tuesday on Katrina's impact on the energy market. Part of the inquiry will be allegations of price gouging, usually a staple of the Democratic Party, but one the Republicans must take up "in lickety-split time," said Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.). "Our constituents demand it."
Barton agreed: "I'm a free-market guy. I come from an oil state. I am not anti-oil, by any stretch. But I don't want to see people get ripped off just because they're scared and retailers think they can just jack up the price."
Barton will also push legislation to address the glaring inadequacies of the energy infrastructure, especially pipelines and refineries that were shuttered in the wake of Katrina. Finally, he said, "if there is a silver lining in this," it will be renewed political impetus to expand oil exploration beyond the Gulf region, especially in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
None of that will necessarily mean the abandonment of tax cutting and cuts to Medicaid, student loans, farm price supports and other popular programs. Conservative activists hotly denied that there had been any slackening of will.
"I don't think Republicans will be fooled into taking this necessary spending and using it to oppose pro-growth tax cuts," said Grover G. Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, who castigated Reid for "using this tragedy and those deaths for his own political desires."

A special chemical in your body, called oxytocin, helps to create the feeling of falling in love.
The hormone of love, oxytocin, influences the digestive system as much as it influences the brain. Oxytocin has been proven to cool gastrointestinal inflammation to alleviate food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders, and even Candida infections!
Oxytocin can act like a psychological buffer. Nature wired both men and women to experience an oxytocin surge (or several) during moments of bonding with each other or their children.
Oxytocin naturally enhances a sense of:
This is why synthetic oxytocin (also called Pitocin) is given during labor. It can promote delivery or speed up contractions. Unfortunately, synthetic oxytocin or even an epidural can interfere with the natural regulation of oxytocin that both mother and baby experience during labor and after delivery.
As much as oxytocin enhances the mother-child relationship, it can also help to generate a strong bond between romantic partners. We experience a surge of oxytocin during orgasm. Kind words or a gentle touch can also drive oxytocin levels up, enhancing the experience of what we identify as love and trust.
Unfortunately, there are situations in life when oxytocin levels dip too low, or worse, never rise to the surface.
Some examples are:
1. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Those with PTSD are in a constant state of anxiety and low-grade fear. This anxiety can climax when startled or in trigger situations. It has been found that oxytocin reduces background anxiety in those with PTSD. (1) Even though oxytocin can reduce anxiety after trauma, it does not affect the actual memory of the trauma.
2. Childhood Trauma. Trauma during infancy or childhood can affect oxytocin levels for years, decades, or even an entire lifetime. This kind of trauma can range from severe abuse during childhood to a divorce between parents. When trauma during childhood occurs, the body and mind engage an adaptive defense mechanism that reduces levels of oxytocin. This type of programming is a survival mechanism. It can affect relationships and even physical health.
3. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In certain cases of autism, the receptor site for oxytocin is genetically not available. When oxytocin has nowhere to go, it cannot do its job. Sometimes in those with ASD, the production of oxytocin is also drastically low. (2)(3)
Dr. Michael Gershon, author of The Second Brain and chairman of the department of anatomy and cell biology at Columbia University, has found that many of his patients who come in for chronic gut disorders have a history of childhood trauma.
According to Gershon and others in his field, the brain in the head shares a unique connection with the brain in the gut - or our "second brain." This is because the gastrointestinal tract is full of nerve cell networks, called the enteric nervous system. The enteric nervous system helps to regulate behavior, much like the brain that belongs to the central nervous system.
When Gershon first put forth the theory that the gastrointestinal tract is in fact a "second brain," equipped with neurotransmitters and the ability to control behavior, his concept was mostly ridiculed.
For example, serotonin is the neurotransmitter that is responsible for a feeling of happiness and wellbeing. It is mostly made in the gut. In fact, the cells lining the intestinal wall produce approximately 95% of the body's total serotonin.
Like serotonin, Gershon has determined that oxytocin influences what is going on in the digestive system as much as it influences what is going on in the brain.
In a 2010 study, Gershon found that oxytocin cools down gastrointestinal inflammation. (4) Intestinal inflammation can not only cause abdominal discomfort, but it can also contribute to more serious disorders that involve the immune system, such as:
It has been found that even small expressions of support between family members and friends will stimulate the release of oxytocin.
When oxytocin levels are stable and elevated, the physical body benefits as much as the mind.
This means taking small steps to increase physical energy while gently detoxifying the multiple systems in your body. One of the best ways to accomplish this naturally and easily is by correcting digestion with fermented foods and probiotic beverages.
If you are new to fermented foods and probiotic beverages, begin with a small portion of truly fermented sauerkraut, the juice from a batch of fermented vegetables, or just a few ounces of InnergyBiotic. Remember:
You may be familiar with the hormone oxytocin for creating warm feelings when falling in love, bonding, or during childbirth. Oxytocin can promote trust, optimism, and even self-esteem. In cases where the body cannot make oxytocin, it could be related to PTSD, childhood trauma, or certain cases of autism.
Oxytocin levels can influence the digestive system as much as they influence the brain. Oxytocin has been proven to calm gastrointestinal inflammation, greatly reducing the risk of food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders, and systemic infections.
This is why it's more important than ever to restore gut health with fermented foods and probiotic beverages as one important step toward healing mental and emotional trauma.

The duo teamed up with Rory Gleeson, a mentor at Ericsson, and started an ambitious Internet of Things (IOT) business called Skygrid.
Fortunately the technology for connecting the 'things' themselves is more and more affordable, explains Brendan. He notes access to cellular and wireless networks is cheaper, hardware prices are dropping as manufacturers scale up production, and new networked data centres (mostly for cloud computing) come online every month: "So it's a perfect stor of technologies that make it economically viable to connect up a whole bunch of things to the internet".
Skygrid's founders share a lifelong love for technology, which they enthusiastically channel into their venture. Brendan claims that computing is humanity's biggest achievement to date, though he says all need to pitch in to make great technologies more accessible. He draws from his experience at Ericsson working with hardware manufacturers to try to sometimes competing priorities of driving sales and delivering interoperable hardware.
Luke points to the Open Source movement as a preferred model, as it gives developers like Skygrid more opportunities to innovate: "Look at what was happening in the M2M (machine-to-machine) and IOT space: there was this thing happening with the early movers who were trying to define standards and protocols. It was a big land-grab. So now we want to try to get around that problem of vendor-lock-in by offering a more open platform".
Making innovations more accessible
The Skygrid business case is built on making commonly available tools more developer-friendly. That way, other IOT developers can get up and running fast without having to build as much up from scratch. It's almost a templated approach:
"For 90 per cent of websites, something like Wordpress will do," says Brendan. "Only some of the time you're going to want to get under the hood and have access to the bare metal and do your own thing. So what we're trying to do is be a bit more like the Wordpress for IOT platform."
He is very enthusiastic about the development of ultra-low cost IOT modules using ultra-narrow band communications, like the recently announced module from Sigfox: "At the moment most people try to do stuff over 3G or 4G mobile data, which are really expensive ways to do it. More affordable modules can be a real game changer for us."
While most of the hype around IOT continues to focus on consumer applications – for example, the internet-connected fridge, which has existed in one form other for more than two decades – the Skygrid team is committed to developing new industrial and environmental applications that will make a real difference to our world, not just shift products.
"If we can improve the efficiency of things in general we can help improve or lower our carbon footprint, explains Brendan. "Tackling climate change is something we're passionate about with this technology."
There are plenty of efficiency gains from just by having information about the performance of machines businesses already use, adds Luke. As an example, it you can plan predictive maintenance on that device. "Knowing how your machines are performing can save companies a lot of money. You're warned earlier if something is going to fail, so it might be you just need to replace a $5 part to stop if from failing, rather than leaving it and finding you have to shell out for a $5000 part."
Taking the guesswork (and tediousness) out of maintenance
Skygrid's first customers are mostly asset management companies that need to track expensive plant equipment or fleets of vehicles.
Until recently, maintenance crews would be sent out to each piece of equipment with a clipboard (or more recently a tablet device) to read some values from a gauge, look over the machine's workings and record notes into a spreadsheet.
"We can do most of that work via a …sensor kit," notes Luke, "So now we can save the a lot of transport costs plus the guys' time, because they only need to send out a crew to actually fix something, not just look at it."
Skygrid has since developed an even more affordable piece of kit for pool maintenance businesses with a cute name: PoolBuddy. It's a 24/7 pool monitoring solution for pool shops that Luke describes as 'super cheap and super simple'.
"It just means they don't waste trips going out to test pools. Again, they just do the maintenance when it's needed."
Now Skygrid is looking to augmented reality (AR) for maintenance tasks that need to happen onsite. AR is, according to Brendan, a logical progression: "Skygrid is the cloud platform that is holding all this data and right now we're using apps and web interface to the Internet, and we see AR as being another huge interfacing platform. So if you're on a mine site and you've linked all of your pumps and data up to Skygrid, when you walk through the mine wearing a headset you'll see pops-ups saying 'these are the pumps you need to fix, here are the parts you need. Apps are certainly one way to look at data from a device, though we think AR will break down more barriers between data and what's happening in the physical world."
Touching the sky with muru-D
Before joining Telstra's tech incubator muru-D, Luke muses he didn't full realise the opportunity of working with the telco. "Naively we came from a telco background and we went 'oh, we're going to build this platform Telstra would really want, so we get into Telstra's incubator then that's our golden ticket'. We got a lot more out of it than that though." Here are some highlights:
- muru-D is as much about mentorship as new ideas – "People who have walked the path that you want to walk can tell you where all the missed steps are before you get to them." Brendan says. "We were very lucky we had two entrepreneurs and residents at the time: Mick Liubinskas and Ben Sand".
- muru-D helps businesses cope with everyday challenges too – "You get to see behind the scenes of how these other companies are running and the challenges they're having," says Luke. "And you go 'Oh, now I understand we're all the same on the surface'. The biggest encouragement for us is that every company there is learning from mistakes."
- muru-D helps business founders work out their roles – "At the start we were all trying to do everything…" recalls Luke. "Let me rephrase that... we were stepping on each other's toes! We needed to learn how to balance the emotional and engineering sides of the business."
Start up tips from Skygrid
- Network often
"Get involved in the start-up community for sure," says Luke. "Don't try to do everything in a bubble, even if you go to meet start-ups in completely different fields they're going to have the same problems or similar problems that you do. Otherwise it can be a very lonely experience if you lock yourself away."
- Make money, keep equity
"Speak with experts about it," insists Luke. "We were completely new to having to raise money. Just had to get the right advice. Meeting other start-ups and seeing what they raised and going through the process of it helped us out in the end."
- Be patient with yourself
"Expect that there will be really good high and everything is going well towards your goals but then be prepared for a low just around the corner," warns Brendan. "Some days you'll think 'Wow I'm a total idiot, we're frauds, nothing is going to work'… and then you'll work it out. Just accept that doubts and mistakes are par of the course".
