China's Stocks Fall After Posting Biggest Swings in 22 Months
Bloomberg NewsChina's stocks fell after posting the biggest swings in 22 months as the Shanghai Composite Index reached a four-year low and investors speculated the government will take steps to bolster financial markets.
The Shanghai Composite lost 0.2 percent to 1,959.51, after fluctuating 114 points between its high and low, the biggest intraday swing since August 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The CSI 300 Index slipped 0.3 percent to 2,165.42 at the close, trimming a loss of as much as 6.8 percent. The CSI 300 entered a bear market yesterday after the People's bank of China signaled it will maintain efforts to curb speculative lending. Ping An Bank Co. and China Vanke Co. led a gauge of financial shares to its biggest two-day rout since August 2009.
"There are investors who are hoping the government will unveil some positive measures to bolster the market so they are buying ahead of any announcement," Zhou Lin, an analyst at Huatai Securities Co., said by phone from Nanjing.
Liquidity risks in China's financial markets are controllable and seasonal forces affecting interest rates will fade, Ling Tao, deputy director of the Shanghai branch of the People's Bank of China, said at a briefing in Shanghai after the market close. The central bank will closely monitor the money-market rate going forward and keep it at reasonable levels, he said.
The CSI 300 has fallen 22 percent from this year's closing high on Feb. 6, while the Shanghai Composite is down 19.5 percent. Losses have accelerated this month after preliminary manufacturing data showed a contraction and on concern surging money-market rates will deepen the slowdown.
Cash Crunch
The overnight repurchase rate dropped 47 basis points to 6 percent in Shanghai, according to a daily fixing compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center. It reached a record 12.85 percent on June 20 and has averaged 3.12 percent this year.
"The central bank is hawkish about not injecting funds into the financial market immediately and that means the cash crunch will persist for a while," Li Jun, a strategist at Central China Securities Co. in Shanghai, said by phone.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese companies traded in Hong Kong slid 0.8 percent after retreating 3.3 percent earlier. The Bloomberg China-US 55 Index, the measure of the most-traded U.S.-listed Chinese companies, fell 2.7 percent in New York yesterday.
Trading Jumps
Trading volumes in the Shanghai index were 39 percent higher than the 30-day average while 30-day volatility was at 27, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The volatility gauge reached 23 yesterday, the highest level since Jan. 30, 2012.
The CSI 300 Financials Index including banks and developers has tumbled 7.9 percent in the past two days, the biggest decline for a two-day period since August 2009. Minsheng Banking, the nation's first privately owned bank, fell 0.8 percent to 8.44 yuan, after slumping 10 percent earlier. Ping An Bank declined 1.7 percent to 9.98 yuan. China Vanke, the biggest developer, slid 2 percent to 8.85 yuan. Poly Real Estate Group Co., the second largest, lost 2.4 percent to 9.30 yuan.
The CSI 300 Material Index slumped 1.4 percent for the biggest loss among 10 industry groups. Yunnan Aluminium Co. declined 4 percent to 3.80 yuan. Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-Earth Hi-Tech Co. slumped 3.1 percent to 21.26 yuan.
The Shanghai Composite is valued at 7.97 times projected 12-month earnings, the lowest since Bloomberg began to compile the data in 2006. The 14-day relative strength measure for the index, measuring how rapidly prices have advanced or dropped during a specified time period, was at 15.7. Some investors use readings below 30 as a signal to buy.
Buy Signal
The number of Shanghai Composite stocks with RSI readings below 30 reached 586 yesterday, the highest level since Dec. 15, 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. The index had 266 members trading at new 52-week lows, the most since Dec. 4, according to the data.
"Valuations are low and that's appealing to short-term speculators," Central China's Li Jun said. "But the overall trend remains downward as the financial system is still in a money crunch that may hurt economic growth."
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and China International Capital Corp. yesterday joined banks from Barclays Plc to HSBC Holdings Plc in paring their growth projections this year to 7.4 percent, below the government's 7.5 percent goal.
Money Markets
The tumble in Chinese stocks is set to continue as tight credit deepens the nation's economic slowdown, according to Bank Julius Baer & Co. and Societe Generale SA. The CSI 300's average bear-market retreat is 36 percent and the mean duration is 241 days, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Money market rates that have more than doubled in the past six weeks will weigh on China's indebted developers and manufacturers, said David Poh, who helps oversee $113 billion as the regional head of portfolio-management solutions at Societe Generale's private bank. While the CSI 300 is valued at a record low versus the MSCI All-Country World Index, shares will only rally once the cash crunch subsides, said Kelvin Wong, an analyst at Julius Baer, which manages $290 billion.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS733206
This small item basket is used to hold small objects like baby items and lids.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
The original silverware basket was falling apart. Literally disintegrating. I ordered a new one, from PartSelect. I received it in 2 days.Not tools needed. I simply removed the defective basket and replaced it with the new one.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
1. Open dishwasher door.2. Place basket hooks over dish rack.3. Close dishwasher door.
ordered new basket; attempted to clip the new basket in place of the old, but the new basket is about 1/2' higher than the old, so that it doesn't hang on the edge of the upper dish rack properly, without interfering with the utensil rack above.
I dropped the upper rack to it lowest level. I then pulled the water hose down and put the arm in place then attached with the included plastic buttons. The hardest part was getting my hands in place to do the job.
REALLY simple repair - no tools, just removed new part from shipping box, attached to dishwasher and threw old part awary. Fantastic!
Replaced basket by clipping it in place. This is my third basket........
It was so easy to replace myself, it just snaps in the front of the bottom tray! Your site saved me a trip to the store and a visit from the repair company! Great Job!
Ordered part and received it within a few days. Put in new basket in 15 seconds. All done!
Clipped on new basket
I saved the silverware basket from my old KitchenAid dishwasher to use in my new KitchenAid dishwasher. It finally died of old age. After checking many on-line parts stores this was the only one having my item. I bought extras for friends who wished their dishwasher had this part. This is a parts house that has it all and sends out the item ordered quickly.
Ordered the part from you and replaced it. No tools or skills necessary. I will recommend your service, and I will use it again. Thank you.
Um, removed part from box and then the plastic plastic bag and clipped it to the front of the bottom roll-out basket.
I removed old broken parts and replaced with new.
I placed the new basket onto the tray where it goes. Not a repair, really!
I was surprised to find the part so easily. It was just a part replacement.

Grizzlies' James Ennis fouls out then hits half-court shot (video)
Against the Pacers last night, James Ennis missed all three of his 3-point attempts… that counted. And he makes this one after fouling out?
Mike Conley more than picked up the slack to lead the Grizzlies to victory.
Pelicans' Dante Cunningham jumps on scorer's table, Anthony Davis jumps on him (video)
The Pelicans are effectively out of the playoff race, but Dante Cunningham and Anthony Davis are still competing — even if it looks a little silly.
That tone and a big game from DeMarcus Cousins (29 points, 16 rebounds, six assists) led to a 121-118 win over the Mavericks.
Goran Dragic puts alley-oop pass through rim (video)
Goran Dragic is very good at alley-oops.
Too good.
With a "shot" like that falling, the Heat trounced the Knicks, 105-88.
Hawks' Tim Hardaway Jr. kneed in the groin while defending 76ers (video)
Since trading for him, the Hawks have gotten Tim Hardaway Jr. to buy in defensively.
After this help defense on 76ers center Richaun Holmes cost him dearly, I wouldn't blame Hardaway if he gave up on the endeavor entirely.

It's a pretty good comedy.
The average Suburban family gets a new neighbors, who are more than
what they seem. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher made a cute couple in the movie. very
good comedy duo in an mediocre film.
Jon Hamm is a fantastic straight man for the comedy that Galifianakis
was dishing out.
Gal Gadot is impressive. She's the one who has to keep up with the
other three and she does a good job. i don't think I've seen her do
anything outside the Fast and Furious movies so it was nice to see that
she can do something else.
I know i'm sitting here writing about the film, but for the most part
there is really is not anything to write about. It gives you enough
laughs so I feel like I did not waste my cash, but it's definitely not
a movie you'll remember down the road. Nothing spectacular.

Movie Reviews
Not hard to keep up with, it's a very OK.
Not even funny.
I watched this at an advanced screening and didn't have to pay a dime but I feel like they should have given me a refund. A few people walked out during the first hour of the film, I wished I did. Basically, this film is like a made for LifeTime version of Mr & Mrs Smith, expect with a quarter of the action and absolutely none of the humor. All the jokes fall flat and there was literally only ONE TIME everyone in the theater laughed and it had nothing to do with the movie! There is a scene with Gal Gadot in her underwear (it is in the trailer) and someone in the audience yelled "the b#tch ain't got no a$$" and everyone started laughing. Seriously, this is the kind of movie that will just make you mad because of how predictable, pointless and boring it is. Zach Galifianakis is usually a pretty funny dude but his acting seemed lifeless and uninspired, in other words this was purely a paycheck gig for him. Poor Jon Hamm wasn't allowed to be funny in this movie. Isla Fisher looked bored half the time. Gal Gadot is as wooden as ever. All the minor characters are whatever. This movie isn't worth your time. All the "best" parts are in the trailers. Watching this on the big screen will just p!ss you off. If you must see it my advice to you is to walk out after the first 30 minutes, get a refund and watch something else. You'll thank me.
Mr and Mrs Jones
Greetings again from the darkness. Dozens of movies through the years
make up the Spy Action-Comedy segment. Most of these lean heavily on
either action (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Red, Knight and Day) or comedy
(Austin Powers, Get Smart, Date Night). The latest entry from director
Greg Mottola and writer Michael LeSieur offers a more balanced approach
while being somewhat grounded in familiar suburbia. Perfect casting
certainly helps.
Comedies are the toughest genre to review because the only thing that
does it cause you to laugh?
depends on the sense of humor
of each viewer and even their frame of mind while watching. So what I
can report is that the full theatre at my screening was filled with
enthusiastic laughter multiple times, along with a pretty steady stream
of chuckles and giggling. This will undoubtedly vary from the accounts
of uppity film critics who will discount the basic plot and obvious
laughs (which is the whole point).
A James Bond-type opening credit sequence sets the tone as we abruptly
shift to watching Jeff and Karen Gaffney (Zach Galifianakias, Isla
Fisher) sending off their two sons to summer camp before returning home
to their idealistic cul-de-sac suburban home. Things pick up when the
new neighbors, Tim and Natalie Jones, arrive
a seemingly perfect
couple played by Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot. They are the type of couple
who are beautiful to look at, stylishly dressed, and even show up with
a blown-glass sculpture as a gift for their new neighbors.
Of course, this perfect couple is really married spies seeking
information from the military weapons contractor where Jeff works as a
Human Resources associate. It's Karen who senses something is off about
the perfect couple, which leads to her stalking Natalie all the way to
a dressing room where she is comically intimidated by Wonder Woman in
black lingerie. On a side note, Ms. Fisher does have a later sequence
where she proves to be anything but a homely housewife, despite how
that dressing room scene is presented.
The men head off for some male bonding at a highly unusual specialty
restaurant, leading to one of the more manic sequences in the movie.
The four leads are all excellent, but it's Gal Gadot who is the real
and her scenes with Ms. Fisher are the film's best. Both are
allowed to shine, while the men are a bit more one dimensional.
Galifianakias is the all-trusting good guy just happy to have some
excitement in his life, while Hamm is the super cool spy (who wishes he
wasn't). Both men seem to enjoy the chance to make friends, while the
women are a bit more focused on tasks at hand.
Director Mottola is known for his films Adventureland and Superbad, and
writer LeSieur is best known for Me, You and Dupree. The impressive
thing about this latest is that the comedy mostly derives from
character and situational interactions, and the expected steady stream
of punchlines never materializes. There is even some insight into
marriages that have become a bit too predictable, and the challenges of
making new friends when all available energy is devoted to parenting
and making ends meet.
In addition to the four leads, there are some funny moments for
Maribeth Monroe, Matt Walsh and Kevin Dunn. The brilliant Patton Oswalt
is cast as the self-nicknamed villain, and is responsible for one of
the film's biggest laughs.
Of course, this is not subtle or high-brow humor, and the story line is
predictable throughout. The laughs stem from the contrast of a subdued,
comfy suburban life versus the sophisticated, over-accomplished
jet-setting couple
laughs clearly enhanced by the talented leads. So
while this seems like the kind of movie I would usually ignore, perhaps
it arrives at a time when laughing is simply preferable to the daily
grind of an embarrassing and humiliating Presidential race. So go ahead
and give laughter a chance
it works even better than a stress ball.

Tonight we discuss, as we do all too often, the beginning of the awards season, as well as the sometimes problematical Hugo category of Best Related Work, the question of authors who are so prolific that new readers may feel intimidated, and some of the parameters of who and who should not be covered in the Modern Masters of Science Fiction series of books, of which Gary has recently assumed editorship.
Episode 266: Prolificity and Academia
4 Comments
Listened to your latest podcast (I've been trying to keep up).
On awards: It's nice to be pleased about occasionally being nominated and winning, as long as the major awards maintain categories for the work you are doing. All the Locus staff, not to mention me, is not so fortunate. And as you suggested about SFE, creators and maintainers of websites that continue to amass huge amounts of data over the years, seem to have no chance of being recognized, given current awards categories. Obviously those people are not doing it for awards recognition — that's my point. And I'm trying to take this point into account in my gradual expansions of sfadb.com.
On needing to read authors' entire works: depends on context. Perhaps the U of I series is misnamed? On the one hand, there's certainly a value in critical studies of books about Stephenson or Mieville. (Locus HQ seemed to recognize the relatively dearth of significant nonfiction titles in 2015.) But as one who might contemplate a book about SF in general, surely any such author can discuss individual books, even several books by one author, in terms of their significance by whatever standard, without having read that author's entire oeuvre..? I would think.
Thanks for the comment! I don't think there's a simple solution to this, Mark. I think the SF Awards Database should definitely be Hugo Award eligible. I think the Science Fiction Encyclopedia should be too. I don't know how you achieve that, given the nature of things. In terms of categories, Locus won more Hugos than anything else ever. It did fine. Liza is eligible for Best Editor, Short Form. There are other proposals that could be put, but honestly I'm not the one to put them. – Jonathan
Interesting discussion all round.
Gary's proposal of 30,000 word biography/essays gave me a small warm confirmation. When I wrote one of Ted Sturgeon which covered both his life and all the different aspects of his career that was the length I ended up with. But the only reason I knew it was feasible was because Bruce Gillespie might be able to include it in one of his mammoth fanzines. There was no way that Foundation or NYRSF could even consider it since it would absorb an entire issue.
Poor Jonathan seems to have mislaid a decade of his life somewhere. Every time he tried to estimate the career of Mieville, Neal Stephenson, Gregory Benford, etc he was off by about 8-10 years. I have begun to recognise this telescoping phenomenon in my own life though.
Behind on your podcasts and just listened to this one.
I think it was one of your best ever.
I think you're on target with the downsides of being a prolific author for gaining readers and critical attention — especially authors doing series work.
You mentioned the fannish tendency to insist that someone consume all of an author's output before being qualified to make any comments on them. Some of us have kind of internalized that, and it may be a product of a sort of obsessive mindset found sometimes in sf readers.
And, with C. J. Cherryh, I think your diagnosis is correct. I've had friends recommend her to me since the eighties. John J. Pierce pushed her work in the 1980s. She does seem worthy of Grandmaster status from what I've heard — because I still haven't tackled a whole novel of hers.

I Don't Know If I'm an Alcoholic (But I Quit Drinking Anyway)

Good read. I had a good friend pass away last year at the age of 29, due to very heavy alcohol abuse. It was incredibly sad to see the progression of the addiction.
beer-free life appeal?
no beer shits, less vomiting, no more hangovers, less bloating no beer brain. - AnonymousAugust 17, 2011 at 12:47 PM
i read a stat somewhere that said on average people who drink tend to live longer than those who don't. i'm only speculating here, but maybe it's because a beer-free life is a dull affair, like mashed potatoes without the gravy. You can thank mr. billy bob thornton for that analogy by the way.
ReplyDelete Taking that decision must not be easy considering the "place" alcohol plays in your life. I hope you will figure out who Scott is without beer and all. I bet it's still a pretty awesome guy who now doesn't need something to help him get through everything in his life, he is strong enough by himself :) Good luck on this journey, there will be days that are going to be harder than others, but you'll be fine! You took that decision and I know you can follow through. :)

Good for you! I'm a 23 year old bartender and I gave up drinking almost 3 years ago for medical reasons (thank you, Canadian drinking age and fake ids, for making that timeline possible). Now that it's a few years later I'll have an occasional glass of wine here and there, but otherwise don't even crave a drink when I'm out with friends, because I know that both in the morning and in the long run I'm going to feel way better without one (or seven).
..........Of course, I also took up smoking weed. Much friendlier on the budget and no hangovers ;) Congrats, Scott! It's been about 6.5 years since I quit drinking and, while it hasn't always been easy (more socially than addiction-wise in my case), I definitely think it's been a worthwhile endeavour.
As far as filling the beverage-related hole in your life, I highly recommend tea; it's good for you, is relatively cheap, and is a much more relaxing/comforting drink than alcohol in my opinion. On the flip side, if you really need something for those crazy nights out with your friends, energy drinks aren't a horrible choice (most bars sell Red Bull these days).
Either way, I wish you the best with your choice; it might take some time and introspection to figure out who you are without your old pal, Al Cool, but you'll get there and I'd wager that you'll be better off for it.Thanks for sharing this with us, Scott. I applaud your decision and tenacity to see it through. There are certain societal and personal expectations that we put on ourselves and how our lives should be or how we want them to be. Alcohol's role in that life is always complicated, carrying with it so many pressures, both intrinsic and extrinsic, and often times very difficult to wrap your head around. Alcohol makes the determination of who's in charge complicated: When you want a drink do you want it because some inexplicable, uncontrollable urge is behind it, or can you simply just want a drink? It can be a tough question, one that is further muddied by the effects of alcohol once you do have that drink. Mix with that the pressure to drink in social settings and you have the makings of one seriously fracked-up relationship. The kind where you're never sure who's the one being abused.
I come from a family with alcoholism coursing through its veins-- my brother went through a similar experience to what you describe and now lives a dry life. In fact, my entire family is now dry with the exception of me (and I don't drink much).
Good luck. I support you.
-k.I may be wrong here but I don't think beer made you as talented and as smart as you are. Congratulations on being able to admit that you don't need it anymore. It takes strong will to do that. Most people I know have tried to do without but fail, or they find something else to replace it. I hope you find out who you are, don't be scared when you do. Sometimes it takes someone there entire life to answer that question.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with curbing any bad habit when it's necessary to one's overall well-being. But the key word for me is "curb"--to check, restrain, or control, not completely eradicate.
Sometimes a couple beers or glasses of wine are just the perfect partnering to a great meal or the end of a lovely sunny day when everything just feels right. They are a part of life's little celebrations, & I for one will not be giving those up any time soon.
I do read a lot of myself in your words, Scott, & I too have tendencies to feel super-human or too much on auto-pilot as I drink copious amounts of wine each weekend, & I guess if anything, I have begun to feel that I need to learn when it's "enough"--when I have reached that happy place & not a "black hole" that I don't end up remembering in the morning.
So thanks for this post--it has pushed me in the right direction & has allowed me to see what my unconscious self has been thinking all along...
Good luck to you as well : )Best of luck to you. I can definitely relate to your type of addiction. Or "addiction". Mine followed similar patterns. Getting married definitely helped me overcome it. Living alone has its advantages, but its drawbacks as well.
The Macleans article was interesting and makes sense, but just the fact that it was in Macleans makes me question their motives at publishing it. That magazine has taken such a conservative turn in the past few years, everything they publish (with some exceptions - they do have some good writers) has some sort of anti-big-government point to make. Which, as you know, is very un-Canadian. We Canucks love big government!!!Buy and sell new and used modern, outdoor, office, bedroom and home furniture.

The roller-coaster 2008 roster
Everybody, fans and reporters, makes lists in spring training trying to figure out the 25-man roster for Opening Day.
Talk about a waste of time.
At the moment, the Yankees have 11 players on the roster who weren't there on Opening Day. That's not counting Andy Pettitte, who was on the DL for the opener but made a start on April 5.
So what happened to the original 2008 Yankees?
On the DL: Chien-Ming Wang, Phil Hughes, Jorge Posada, Hideki Matsui, Brian Bruney.
Demoted: Shelley Duncan, Ian Kennedy, Billy Traber.
Released: Morgan Ensberg, LaTroy Hawkins.
Demoted then traded: Ross Ohlendorf.
The only players who have been on the roster for all 103 games are: Derek Jeter, Bobby Abreu, Jason Giambi, Robinson Cano, Jose Molina, Mike Mussina and Mariano Rivera. That's seven players.
Don't forget, Melky Cabrera and Kyle Farnsworth missed games because of suspension and Joba Chamberlain was on the bereavement list. A-Rod was on the DL, too.
You have to give credit to Joe Girardi for keeping the team together through so much turmoil. That the Yankees are 58-45 at this point is somewhat of a miracle. It also suggests that this recent run isn't a fluke. It's more a product of finally having a good core group of players together at the same time.
The Kansas City Star reports the Yankees have interest in RHP Brian Bannister. Melky Cabrera would go to the Royals. Interesting deal.

2016 Super Lawyers Recognizes 41 Attorneys from Hall Estill
October 10, 2016
TULSA, Okla. (Oct. 10, 2016) – Hall Estill, Oklahoma's leading law firm, is pleased to announce a substantial number of its attorneys were once again selected by their peers for inclusion in Oklahoma Super Lawyer's annual list of the state's top attorneys. Of the attorneys selected, eight attorneys were named as Rising Stars, a prestigious recognition for up-and-coming attorneys.
"Of all the recognitions our attorneys receive, this is one for which they are very proud," said Mike Cooke, Hall Estill managing partner. "Being acknowledged by your peers for your expertise and skill is as meaningful of an endorsement as one could imagine."
Super Lawyers has been recognized by bar associations and courts across the country for the legitimacy and rigor of its selection process. Attorneys are selected using a rigorous, multi-phase rating process including peer nominations and evaluations combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, and the lawyers recognized represent no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state.
"Our attorneys show up every day not looking for awards or recognition, said Cooke. "They are laser-focused on providing our clients with the highest level of counsel."
Of the 41 attorneys honored, five were recognized for the first time and two attorneys, Thomas A. Creekmore III and Jon A. Epstein were named a Super Lawyer for the tenth year in a row.
In addition, Scott Hall, one of the firm's up-and-coming attorneys from Hall Estill's Fayetteville, Ark., office, was named a Rising Star in Mid-South Super Lawyers Magazine for the third straight year. Launched in 1998, Rising Stars is a list that recognizes the top up-and-coming attorneys in the state. To qualify for this award, candidates must be 40 years old or younger, or have been practicing for 10 years or less.

July, 2010, Vol. 10, Issue 07 The Initial Treatment: Generating Thousands to Your PracticeBy David Kent, LMT, NCTMB After nearly two decades of owning a clinic, managing therapists and treating patients to this day, I have learned to never underestimate the potential income of a new client, when their initial treatment includes the appropriate education. A client who is well-educated on the tremendous benefits of consistent massage will more than likely become a regular client. And potentially, after an initial treatment, one client can generate tens of thousands of dollars to your practice.In the early 1990s, a client was referred to my clinic with symptoms of pain and restricted range-of-motion (ROM) in their neck and low back. During that initial treatment, I provided pain relief along with education to help the client understand why he was in pain and how continued treatments would help improve his quality of life. To this day, that same patient spends hundreds of dollars in monthly self-care treatments when he visits Florida. This adds up to thousands of dollars annually, and tens of thousands of dollars since his initial visit. Whether you work for yourself or someone else, the initial treatment often determines the number of future appointments scheduled, the purchases of other products or services, future referrals and possibly the amount of your gratuity or bonus. This article will cover various ways to educate patients during their initial treatment to build your practice and attract patients who will spend tens of thousands of dollars. During the initial treatment the patient is evaluating whether they should invest future time and money on more treatments. Since you only get one chance to make a good first impression, make it count. Start by being thorough and have clients complete health intake and pain intensity scale forms to document their past and current conditions. On a diagram of the body have the patient shade the areas that hurt, indicate the pain type (e.g. aching, dull) and intensity (0 = no pain / 10 = excruciating pain) they are experiencing. (Fig. 1) These essential forms will help the patient to clarify and the therapist to quickly understand: When the pain started and what may have caused it? What has been tried in the past for relief and the results? Do they believe the condition is temporary or permanent? What movements aggravate the pain? If there has been a medical diagnosis: when, by whom, and what tests or imaging were performed? What activities of daily living (ADL) is this pain effecting and how has the pain modified those activities? What are their goals for today's treatment? (Read "Questions with Direction" MT, September 2008.) Clients should feel confident that you understand the origin of their pain and have the information needed to implement an effective treatment. It only takes a few minutes to ask clarifying questions regarding information on their intake forms, check range-of-motion, perform prudent orthopedic assessments and take postural analysis photos. Postural analysis grid charts make it easy for clients to see asymmetries of the body. While large charts are appropriate to hang on a wall, digital versions of charts are perfect for when wall space is limited or when you perform outcalls. And along with the digital age we live comes various digital applications to choose from. I show patients the correlation between their posture and their pain by using the screen on my cell phone. (Fig. 2) (Read "Getting Comfortable With Posture Analysis" MT, July 2008.) A muscle movement chart allows you to immediately identify the muscles causing their postural distortions, limited range-of-motion and pain. This chart lists the muscles that shorten and contract producing movement in every joint of the body so you can breakdown any postural pattern. It also allows you to confirm the normal degrees of range-of-motion for each joint. Review the trigger point (TrP) referral patterns that mimic their symptoms. If a client reports they have headaches that start in the temple or behind the eye, which then radiates behind the ear and into the neck, they are describing the referral pain pattern for TrP #1 in the trapezius muscle. This is one of the most common TrPs found in the body. Showing clients their pattern on a trigger point chart lets them know you understand the pain and have a plan to help. (Fig. 3) Portable trigger point flip charts provide a professional presentation in any environment and are easily moved from one location and/or treatment room to another. The best flip charts on the market have laminated pages to prevent oils and lotions from damaging them. Note: Look for chart systems that are logically designed, easy to use and includes a muscle movement chart. (Fig. 4) (Read "Tools to Succeed for Massage Therapists" MT, May 2009.) Training and Treatment A solid knowledge of anatomy is key to delivering effective hands-on treatment techniques. Dissection seminars are the ultimate learning experience allowing you to see, touch and understand every tissue of the body. Attending this level of education sets you apart from other therapists. Physicians and other health care providers in your area will respect this level of study and be more willing to refer. Your therapist bio should be updated to reflect your advanced trainings. Certificates should be placed in your reception area, treatment room and/or your Web site. Homestudy DVD programs are excellent support tools. The best dollar valued programs cost more; however, they come with accompanying photo manuals. This allows you to watch the DVD while reviewing your manual. Some systems include cross-referencing to trigger point, muscle movement and other charts. Review and Recommend Upon completion of the treatment, explain that it makes sense to you that they felt the aches, pains and symptoms that caused them to seek your services. Share that during the treatment you palpated the muscles, assessing and confirming your other objective findings. Review very briefly their postural analysis photos, correlating the photos to their pain intensity scale and trigger points that were identified during the treatment. Conclude your treatment with a few tips and recommendations to help them avoid this pain from returning. Show them stretches, the proper use of ice, and the ergonomic modification to be integrated into their daily routine. Now that they feel the relief of one treatment, explain that a series of four, six or more would provide much greater benefit. This is the time to explain the specials or packages that would be best for them. Clients also realize we have extensive experience using various creams, lotions and topical analgesics. They respect our judgment and purchase the same products we use during their treatment as gifts for themselves, family or friends. Most products have a 50 percent markup and can add significantly to your annual bottom line without requiring you to perform any additional hours of therapy. Never underestimate the future potential income a new client can generate. Be proactive and prepared by investing today for the tools and knowledge you need to educate yourself and your clients. Before you can expect clients to make a large long-term financial investment in your treatments, you must show and tell them all the reasons this is a wise and worthwhile investment. Integrating the proper patient education into your initial treatment can reap patients that spend tens of thousands of dollars with you over the years. Good luck and please let me know about your experiences in the treatment room. Click here for previous articles by David Kent, LMT, NCTMB. Join the conversation

These were our very first Star Wars costumes which we wore to Comic-Con 2001. We had also made our Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia costumes for the same convention, but this was the first time that we had dressed up in Star Wars cotumes together. It almost didn't even happen since Cris sliced open his finger making last minute trims, but somehow we managed to stop the bleeding and get down to the convention center for the fun.
This was and still is the kit you could find on Ebay that used to be made by "Galaxy Trading". If you can still find one, they are very easy to put together and look great. Many members of the 501st still use this one for trooping, including us :)
This was our very first 501st event. The annual comic-con lunch at Dick's Last Resort. We've worn them a million more times since then, but this was "Day One."
Note the tote-bag in these pics. We were made fun of all weekend for this bag, but were vindicated by Star Wars Artist Joe Corroney :)

Best Inflatable Kayak Review
If you are interested in learning about an ocean kayak scupper and what use it has in the kayak, then you will certainly want to read on. After all, there are many other parts to the kayak besides the ocean kayak scupper which are of importance as well, and which you will also want to learn about if you want to have the most success possible with your future kayaking adventures.
Kayaks come in a great variety of lengths and widths and yet they still all share the same characteristics. All kayaks have a hatch, seats, shock cord deck rigging, a deck, grab handle, bulkhead, footbraces, and cockpit.
You find the seat in a solo boat simply by looking inside the cockpit, and you will be able to tell that it is only a 1 person kayak because it will be very small and you will be able to easily see that only a single person would be able to fit inside.
The ocean kayak scupper has all of these parts on it as well, just as every other kayak does. There is also the option of getting a 1, 2 or 3 person kayak, so this is great because then you can get the right sized kayak no matter how many people you plan to take on your trips with you.
Use a Review
One of the best things that you can do if you are looking for an ocean kayak scupper or any other type of kayak for that matter is read a review. There are various websites that offer detailed reviews on the ocean kayak scupper and other kayaks, and by reading an ocean kayak review you will be able to get some great firsthand opinions on which are worth checking out and purchasing and which are not.
Just make sure that you do not let these reviews make the entire decision for you, especially if you do not take the time to read through a broad selection of them. After all, just because a certain person does not like a particular type of kayak this does not mean that you won�t, although it will give you a great idea of what is out there and what problems have been found on the different makes and models of kayaks available.
Buying a kayak may very well be one of the best things that you ever do, and you are sure to enjoy yourself and have a great time on all your future kayaking adventures.

Assisted Wheelchair Access Lodges
Most of the accommodation at Cologin has level access but do let us know if you can't manage steps or a high door threshold and we'll make sure you are in an appropriate lodge. We do have lodges that have been built with wheelchair access in mind, however, they are not ideal for those with no mobility and we usually recommend that wheelchair users have an assistant/helper to make the most of their stay at Cologin.
To help you decide if our accommodation will be suitable for your specific needs here are some facts and figures:
- The entrance is at the front with a shallow ramp leading to a door- width 79cm.
- Each bedroom has level access with door widths of 79cm, and a wheelchair is able to approach one side of the bed. The bed rooms have non divan base beds to allow for a portable bed hoist to be used. Beds can be chocked up if required.
- The bathroom has a bath and a shower above it: the door width is 78cm and is a sliding door, which can close with a wheelchair inside. A bath seat is provided and the shower hose is extra long so it can be used whilst sitting. A wheelchair can easily turn round inside the bathroom. Both WC and bath are wheelchair accessible and have handrails and the basin has been positioned so that a wheelchair can fit underneath it.
- The lounge has a level access from the entrance with door widths of 79cm. Armchairs are provided but these are light and easily removed if required. The TV is operated by remote.
- There are no high kitchen cupboards and all sockets are accessible from a wheelchair. The kitchen table has 6 chair (no arms) and we can remove chairs as required.
- The hallway, bathroom and kitchen floors are marmoleum and the living area and bedrooms have fitted carpets. There are no rugs.

Application Virtualization application packages
Applies to: Office 2010
Topic Last Modified: 2011-09-10
This article contains technical guidance for using Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) to create a Microsoft Office 2010 package.
In this article:
The Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer is a wizard-based tool that administrators use to create virtualized applications and application packages that are streamed to the App-V client computers.
During the sequencing process, the administrator puts the Sequencer program in monitor mode and installs the application to be sequenced on the sequencing computer. Next, the administrator starts the sequenced application and starts its most frequently used functions so that the monitoring process can configure the primary feature block. The primary feature block contains the minimum content that is required for an application, or multiple applications, to run. When these steps are complete, the administrator stops the monitoring mode, and then saves and tests the sequenced application to verify correct operation.
The Sequencer produces the application package, which consists of several files, described in the following list. The .sft, .osd, and .ico files are stored in a shared content folder on the App-V Management Server and are used by the App-V client computer to access and run sequenced applications.
The .ico (icon) files specifies the application icons that appear on the App-V client desktop, and are used in the Start menu shortcuts and for file types. When you double-click the files or shortcuts, you start the shortcut to the corresponding .osd file, which starts the data streaming and the application. The experience of starting an App-V–enabled application is identical to starting a locally stored application.
The .osd (Open Software Description) file provides the information that is needed to locate the .sft file for the application and set up and start the application. This information includes the application name, the name and path of the executable file, the name and path of the .sft file, the suite name, the supported operating systems, and general comments about the application.
The .sft file contains the assets that include one or more Windows-based applications. The App-V Sequencer, without altering the source code, packages these asset files into chunks of data that can be streamed to the App-V client. The file is divided into two distinct blocks. The first block, which is known as the primary feature block, consists of the application's most-used features, as configured during package creation.
The .sprj (Sequencer project) file is generated when a project is saved. The .sprj file contains a list of files, directories, and registry entries that are excluded by the Sequencer. Load this file into the Sequencer to add, change, delete, or upgrade any of the applications in the suite. A common example might be when you use the .sprj files to add service packs to the application.
The manifest file (XML based) describes all of the applications, file-type associations, and icons that are used by the package.
Microsoft Office 2010 uses the Office Software Protection Platform (SPP) service. This is the same activation technology that is used to activate volume editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 and is contained in the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment Kit for App-V (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=186371&clcid=0x409).
Before you can sequence a package, ensure that you have the minimum configuration necessary, and follow the guidelines provided in Best Practices for the Application Virtualization Sequencer (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=192229).
You must install and configure the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment kit for App-V on the sequencing computer. The deployment kit includes both the required SPP licensing components that are required for Office license activation (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=182959) and the Office 2010 integration features. This product must also be installed on the client computers to which virtualized Office 2010 packages will be deployed and streamed.
To create a system package, you must have a minimum of an electronic software distribution (ESD) server or an App-V Management Server, a sequencing computer, and a client computer each running the same version of Windows. Ensure that your environment meets all the relevant conditions listed in the following table.
Architecture of sequencing computer | Architecture of computer that is running Office | Architecture of client computer | Licensing support | Virtual proxy support |
x86-based computer | x86-based computer | x86-based computer | Yes | Yes |
x 64 (Office will run through WoW64) | Yes | Yes | ||
x64-based computer | x86-based computer | x64-based computer (Office will run through WoW64) | Yes | Yes |
x64-based computer | x64-based computer | Yes | No |
Important |
Packages that are sequenced on x64-based computers can only be deployed to x64-based client computers. Packages that are sequenced on x86-based computers can be deployed to x86-based client computers or x64-based client computers. |
Note |
Virtual proxies are optional. However, virtual proxies are only supported on 32-bit computers that are running Office 2010. |
The following figure and table describe the minimum requirements and are followed by the procedures necessary to create a system package.
Prepare a computer for sequencing
Install the deployment kit
Sequence the Office 2010 system package
Computer | Description | Required operating system |
A | Represents the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) server or App-V Management Server | Running Windows Server 2008 |
B | Represents the client computer setup as the sequencing computer | Running the same Windows version as C |
C | Represents the receiving client computer for the virtualized application package | Running the same Windows version as B |
Use the following procedure to prepare a computer for sequencing.
To prepare a computer for sequencing-
Ensure that you have Windows Search 4.0 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=169358) installed, and set the Windows Search service to Manual or to Automatic.
Download the XPS Viewer by installing the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=169359).
Set the Windows Update service to Disabled.
Install the App-V 4.6 Sequencer.
Download the Deployment Kit (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=186371) and extract the .exe file.
After you extract the .exe file, you should have an OffVirt.msi file.
Use the following procedure to install the deployment kit that enables Office 2010 client products to be sequenced and deployed by using App-V. The kit includes the components that are required for Office license activation.
To install the deployment kit-
Open an elevated command prompt.
Click All Programs and Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click on Run as Administrator. Or, open the Start menu, type cmd in the search box area, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
Browse to the directory that contains the Offvirt.msi file.
Run the following command to install the deployment kit:
Msiexec /i OffVirt.msi [feature flags][licensing flags]
Note You must install the version of the deployment kit that matches the operating system architecture of your computer. For example, if you intend to sequence either Office 32-bit or 64-bit on a 64-bit operating system computer, you must use the 64-bit version of the deployment kit because it matches the operating system version.
Use the feature flags for the architecture that matches your sequencing station operating system:
For more information about the Office 2010 system volume activation and to determine which activation and licensing flags to use, see Office license activation (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=182959).
The following table lists the Office 2010 product applications and Office 2010 product suites together with their corresponding licensing flag for KMS activation. To configure the appropriate license properties for KMS, specify the values that correspond to the Office 2010 product that you are sequencing, and set the flag value from the following table to 1.
For example: msiexec /i Offvirt.msi PROPLUS=1 VISIOPREM=1
KMS activation
Product application | Flag | Value | Product suite | Value | Flag | |
Access | Access | 0 or 1 | Office Professional Plus | 0 or 1 | PROPLUS | |
Excel | Excel | 0 or 1 | Office Small Business Basics | 0 or 1 | SMALLBUSBASICS | |
SharePoint Workspace | GROOVE | 0 or 1 | Office Standard | 0 or 1 | STANDARD | |
InfoPath | InfoPath | 0 or 1 | ||||
OneNote | OneNote | 0 or 1 | ||||
Outlook | Outlook | 0 or 1 | ||||
PowerPoint | PowerPoint | 0 or 1 | ||||
Project Professional | PROJECTPRO | 0 or 1 | ||||

Visio Premium | VISIOPREM | 0 or 1 | ||||
Visio Professional | VISIOPRO | 0 or 1 | ||||
Visio Standard | VISIOSTD | 0 or 1 | ||||
Word | Word | 0 or 1 | ||||
The following table lists the flags and values for MAK activation. If the Office client computers will be using MAK activation, you must install the product key by using one of the methods listed in the following table.
MAK activation
Flag | Value |
PIDKEYS Multiple product keys are semicolon delimited. Ex. PIDKEYS=X-X-X-X-X;Y-Y-Y-Y-Y | XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX |
USEROPERATIONS | 0 or 1 |
Use the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 2.0, to install product keys on client computers that stream the Office 2010 system. To download the tool, see Volume Activation Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=83292).
Deploy one or more MAKs keys by using PIDKEYS property, semicolon delimited, as shown in the table. In the following example, the Professional Plus and the Visio MAK keys are being entered, followed by the USEROPERATIONS property set to 1 to allow the client to activate.
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi PIDKEYS=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx;yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyyy USEROPERATIONS=1
Mixed KMS/MAK deployments are supported. For example: use KMS for PROPLUS and MAK for Visio:
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi PROPLUS=1 PIDKEYS=yyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy
Note |
UserOperations=1 means non-administrative users can activate Office. UserOperations=0 means only administrators can activate Office. |
Use the following procedure to sequence the Office 2010 system on the sequencing computer.
To sequence the Office 2010 system-
On the sequencing computer, click Start, select all programs, select Microsoft Application Virtualization, and then click Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer. This will open the application virtualization sequencing wizard.
Click Create Package to create a new package for an application.
On the Package Information dialog box, specify the name of the package.
For the installation folder, install to a new directory by using an 8.3 format such as Q:\Temp123.wxp, and then click OK.
Note We recommend that you select a virtual drive assignment and use it consistently; typically, this is the Q:\ drive. -
On the Monitoring Installation dialog box, click Begin Monitoring to monitor the installation phase.
Start the setup.exe for the Office 2010 system.
At the Choose the installation that you want prompt, click Customize.
Note In the Office installation procedure, make sure that you select Install to hard disk drive if you want that feature installed. -
Click the File Location tab, and configure the path to match the installation directory that you selected in step 4. Then click Install.
The following procedure to configure the first start use settings (for example, customizing user settings) is optional, but should be performed during monitoring. If you do not need the optional steps, go to To create the Primary Feature Block later in this article.
Optional steps-
Start virtual applications during monitoring. Click Start, and then click Run.
Enter the actual path of the virtual application, and select the executable virtual file to start the virtual application.
For example, to start Word, type q:\Temp123.wxp\Office14\WINWORD.EXE, and then press ENTER.
Configure additional proxies while the sequencer is still monitoring.
Use the following procedure, which is done while on the sequencing computer, to configure additional proxies. These steps must occur during the monitoring process to have these keys correctly persisted in a deleted state in the virtual registry. Proxies enable Fast Search in Outlook Search, integration with SharePoint (openin and, editing documents), and other features.
To configure additional proxies-
Configure SharePoint proxy registry settings by creating the following virtual registry keys on the sequencer server while the sequencer is still monitoring, and then delete these registry keys so that the sequencer monitors the deletion of the newly added keys.
If you are sequencing a 32-bit operating system, the keys are as follows:
If you are sequencing a 64-bit operating system, the keys are as follows:
Add new proxy applications for proxy support on the Configure Applications page, and select the Applications root directory. Click Add, and then add the following applications:
Note To quickly locate the path, click Browse. Copy and paste the application path into the File name field. -
Instant Search (Virtual Search host)
Application Path: %commonprogramfiles%\microsoft shared\virtualization handler\VirtualSearchHost.exe
Name: Specify a name. The default name is "Search MAPI Protocol Handler Host"
Virtual SharePoint Proxy
Application Path: %commonprogramfiles%\microsoft shared\virtualization handler\VirtualOWSSuppManager.exe
Name: Specify a name. The default name is "Microsoft SharePoint Client Support Manager"
Simple MAPI
Application Path: %commonprogramfiles%\microsoft shared\virtualization handler\MapiServer.exe

Virtual Mail Control Panel Item
Application Path: %windir%\system32\Control.exe %SFT_MNT%\short path\Office14\mlcfg32.cpl
Name: Specify a name. The default name is "Windows Control Panel"
Note To add the parameter %SFT_MNT%\short path\Office14\mlcfg32.cpl to the application path, browse to the Control.exe application path, and click OK. Append the parameter in the Application Path field.
The short path is the 8.3 directory on which you installed Office 2010. For example, if you installed Office 2010 to Q:\Temp123.wxp, the short path would be Temp123.wxp. -
Office Document Cache
Application Path: Q:\short path\Office14\MSOSync.exe
Name: Specify a name. The default name is "Microsoft Office Document Cache"
Set the Office Document Cache application to start automatically.
Expand the Office Document Cache element in the Applications tree.
Select Shortcuts. Edit the shortcut location to be Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
Synchronize all application .osd file versions with the proxy .osd version.
Right-click the Office installation file (Setup.exe), and then select Properties.
Click the Version tab. Change the version of all .osd files to match that version.
For example: If the version of Setup.exe is 14.0.4763.1000, make sure that the version number of all proxy application .osd files and Office .osd files are set to 13.04.764.1000.
Click Next.
Use the following procedures to create the primary feature block that contains the minimum content required for an application or multiple applications to run. We recommend that you do not start OneNote, Outlook, and SharePoint because of the customization settings that are better preserved. During this step, do not press F1.
To create the Primary Feature Block-
On the Application page, click Next.
Select and start the preferred applications to generate the primary feature block for each application.
Click Next.
After sequencing is complete, click Finish.
To save the package, click Package, and then click Save As.
Verify that the following virtual registry key is set to Merge with Local.
If you are sequencing on a 32-bit operating system, the registry key is as follows:
If you are sequencing on a 64-bit operating system, the registry key is as follows:
Right-click the registry key, select Key, and then verify that the Merge with Local Key check box is selected.
Important If you are deploying Office 2010 to a computer that already has the 2007 Office system installed (coexistence with Office 2010), follow these steps. Otherwise, skip the rest of these steps and continue. -
During monitoring, create the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
If you are sequencing on a 64-bit version of Windows, also create the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
For App-V 4.6, make sure that the subkey is set to Override local key.
For App-V 4.5, set the parent key …\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem to merge with the local key.
Set the subkey …\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles to merge with the local key.
Important The following steps must be performed during monitoring to have the key persist in a deleted state in the virtual registry. -
On the Tools menu, click Sequencing Wizard.
Click Next.
Click Begin Monitoring.
Create the following virtual registry subkey, and then delete it so that the sequencer monitors the deletion of the newly added key:
Click Stop Monitoring, continue to click Next, and then click Finish to return to the advanced sequencer properties page.
Note You might have to add some of these XML nodes if they currently do not exist. -
For each .osd file, add TRUE to the following Element text of the tag:
Use the following procedure to configure the client computer to run the Office 2010 sequenced package.
To configure a client computer to run Office 2010-
Install the App-V client on the client computer, if you have not already done this.
Browse to the directory that contains the Offvirt.msi file.
At the command prompt, run the following command:
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi [Licensing flags]
You must enter a correct licensing flag from the list in the following table to correctly configure the deployment kit. Otherwise, functionality might be incorrect.
KMS activation

The following table lists the flags and values for MAK activation. If the Office clients will be using MAK activation, you must install the product key by using one of the methods listed in the table.
MAK activation
Flag Value PIDKEYS
Multiple product keys are semicolon delimited.
Ex. PIDKEYS=X-X-X-X-X;Y-Y-Y-Y-Y
0 or 1
Use the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 2.0 to install product keys on client computers that stream the Office 2010 system. To download this tool, see Volume Activation Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=83292) on the Microsoft Download Web site.
Deploy one or more MAK keys by using the PIDKEYS property, semicolon delimited, as shown in the previous table. In the following example, the Professional Plus and the Visio MAK keys are being entered, followed by the USEROPERATIONS property set to 1 to allow the client to become active.
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi PIDKEYS=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx;yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyyy USEROPERATIONS=1
Mixed KMS/MAK deployments are supported. If you want, some client computers can use KMS activation, and other client computers can use MAK. For example: use KMS for PROPLUS and MAK for Visio:
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi PROPLUS=1 PIDKEYS=yyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy-yyyyyy
Enable the proxies on the client computer only if you configured proxies during the sequencing step.
To enable the virtual proxies for the package, open an elevated command prompt and run the following command:
msiexec /I path of the OffVirt.msi\OffVirt.msi ADDDEFAULT=Click2runOneNoteProxy,Click2runOutlookProxies,Click2RunWDSProxy, Click2runOWSSuppProxies PACKAGEGUID={SFT package GUID} PACKAGEVERSION=versions found in OSD files for proxies, Outlook, and OneNote OUTLOOKNAME=application name for Outlook from OSD ONENOTENAME=application name for OneNote from OSD MAPISERVER=MAPI proxy application name VIRTUALSEARCHHOST=Search proxy application name MLCFG32CPL=application name for virtual mail configuration OWSSUPPServer=application name for SharePoint proxy
For example:
msiexec /i c:\OffVirt.msi ADDDEFAULT=Click2runOneNoteProxy,Click2runOutlookProxies,Click2runWDSProxy,Click2runOWSSuppProxies PACKAGEGUID={5971AF75-7831-4AE9-906F-0F30C7DD0CA5} PACKAGEVERSION=14.0.4763.1000 OUTLOOKNAME="Microsoft Outlook 2010" ONENOTENAME="Microsoft OneNote 2010" MAPISERVER="Microsoft Virtual Office Simple Mapi Proxy Server" VIRTUALSEARCHHOST="Search MAPI Protocol Handler Host" MLCFG32CPL="Windows Control Panel" OWSSUPPServer="Microsoft SharePoint Client Support Manager"
Dynamic Suite Composition provides a tool for administrators to control which virtual applications will be combined to create a unified, virtual working environment for an application set. Dynamic Suite Composition lets you specify mandatory or optional dependencies between virtual applications. After a virtual application is run on the client computer, it will also start the dependent virtual application's environment and allow the combination of both virtual environments.
The Dynamic Suite Composition tool comes as part of the App-V resource kit. It reduces the risk of mistyping and the complexity that is associated with editing XML directly. The following is a sample exercise to configure two separate virtualized packages to integrate together:
On the App-V server, click Start, and then click Microsoft App-V DSC Tool.
In the Package Roots field, click Select, and then click Add Folder.
Expand Computer, select Content where the stored packages are listed, click OK, and then click Done to build the list of available packages.
In the Primary Package box, select the first package from D:\Content\....
In the Secondary Packages Available box, select the second package from D:\Content\..., and then click Add.
Click Save, click OK to confirm, and then click Exit to complete the procedure.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Kenjiro FujiwaraMy father used to tell me a story from his childhood; he said that once when he was twelve summers old that in the middle of the harvest a freak blizzard ravaged our small village. Most everyone had been able to find shelter during the storm, but my father had been farther out in the fields than most. He said that he struggled towards where he thought home was, but the walk seemed endless…there was no sign that he was going the right way. My father said that just when he had given up and sat down on the ground to sleep, that a beautiful stranger walked into view. Though the wind was howling wildly around them, not one of the light blue hairs on her head moved, and her beautiful silk kimono clung lightly to her body. Her skin was white as the snow that was blowing fiercely around them, he said, and her eyes were the color of a cloudless day. She had lips the color of very good steel, my father a sword maker to the bone recalled, and she seemed to on the verge of fading away into the storm herself. Then she smiled and waved her finger as if to scold a misbehaving child, and my father thought he heard her say "Not here little snowstorm." After she said that she lifted one of her arms, and to my fathers disbelief the snow and ice seemed to gather around her hand, until the deadly blizzard had turned into a meek snowfall. He then said that she smiled at him with a knowing smile, bowed, and left. He never forgot the story, even on his death bed, his last words were a lament that he had never seen the beautiful ice maiden again... This is a photo manipulation. The face of this picture belongs to my cousin Keiko, and the photo was taken by yours truly.

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham: 'We Had No Business Being in a Band Together'
– 0 Comments
WALTER SCOTT ASKS…Lindsey Buckingham
The musician, 61, is currently on tour promoting his new solo album, Seeds We Sow.
Is there any music we'd be surprised to know you listen to?
I got into college radio about a year and a half ago. Frankly, I was just looking for something to hear in the car besides Katy Perry, who my kids like.
What do you think of Bill Hader's portrayal of you on Saturday Night Live?
I was complimented! He has me down, even to the red shirt I wore on the last Fleetwood Mac tour. It was very funny.
How is the band getting along now?
There is still emotional residue. It's a work in progress, and there is something beautiful in that. We had no business being in a band together, but our differences meshed.
