Citrix today announced the availability of Citrix® DesktopPlayer for Mac, a client virtualization solution, which extends the benefits of the market-leading Citrix XenDesktop® solution to mobile MacBook users. DesktopPlayer gives users the ability to work on their Windows virtual desktops in any network scenario — including over low-quality connections, congested WiFi hotspots, and even when no connection is available. Using DesktopPlayer with XenDesktop enables users to switch between local and hosted virtual desktops with ongoing synchronization of personal profiles and data. This allows users to work on their MacBook laptop, then seamlessly switch to any other device to access their cloud-hosted virtual desktop. End users gain freedom to work anywhere, independent of network conditions, and IT gains control with the ability to centrally-manage Windows virtual desktops delivered to either corporate or personally-owned 'bring-your-own' (BYO) MacBooks.
The mobile worker population is expected to continue to grow as more companies enable mobile workstyles for their employees. With this growth, the presence of BYO devices is also expected to rise. According to Forrester Research, the growth of BYO is expected across many personal devices including tablets and laptops. Forrester expects sales of new laptops used for BYO will grow from over 5 million in 2014 to over 7 million by 2016, significantly expanding the number of BYO laptops already in use within enterprises. By 2016, Forrester expects the number of employees using their own laptop or tablet to double1, significantly expanding the number of BYO laptops already in use within enterprises. In addition, a recent Citrix survey found that enterprises expect the presence of BYO MacBooks will grow from 5 percent of their employee base today to 16 percent by 20162. Given these trends, it is necessary to provide customers with the ability to extend the delivery of virtual desktops to this fast-growing segment. Unlike other solutions that currently serve this market, Citrix is the only company that can address multiple use cases via local and hosted virtual desktops with centralized management and control.
Key Highlights of Citrix DesktopPlayer
The core value of DesktopPlayer for enterprises is the Synchronizer back-end management tool, which is a robust Web-based system with granular policy controls for deploying, updating, managing and securing virtual desktops that run on a Type-2 hypervisor. With DesktopPlayer, enterprises can now:
- Increase User Flexibility and Productivity – Enable mobile employees to use their personal or corporate-issued MacBook for accessing and interacting with locally-installed Windows applications and data, while keeping personal and corporate data separate and secure on the same device. Personal vDisk (PvD) technology within DesktopPlayer enables IT to provide users with the flexibility to install custom or departmental Windows applications and device and printer drivers — without losing central control over the base golden image.
- Centralize Management for Corporate or BYO MacBooks – When using XenDesktop with DesktopPlayer, the same Windows virtual desktop can be deployed locally to Mac and PC laptops and managed centrally using the same virtual desktop image library and management infrastructure. With the Synchronizer, the base image is guaranteed to be consistent, significantly increasing patch and update success rates over traditional agent-based PC management. Moreover, with the Synchronizer, the updates are done at the hypervisor layer. Even if there is a problem in the base image, corrupting the OS image and rendering traditional PC management tools ineffective, the Synchronizer can still successfully update the base image.
- Add Follow-me Profiles and Data on Any Device – The integration between DesktopPlayer and XenDesktop allows users to seamlessly move between their cloud-hosted and local virtual desktops when using their MacBook. User profile management integration allows for the synchronization of profiles across the hosted and offline virtual desktops. And with the addition of Citrix ShareFile®, users can also securely synchronize data seamlessly across all of their devices.
- Gain Control over Corporate-owned and BYO Macs – With DesktopPlayer, IT can prevent access to, expire or even remotely wipe local virtual desktops in the event of device loss, theft or when an employee or contractor leaves the company.
DesktopPlayer is the only virtual desktop solution for MacBooks that provides local and offline capabilities, full centralized management and control for IT, and data security. Used with XenDesktop, it provides a powerful combination of the ability to work in a local, offline environment optimized for laptop users, while preserving the ability to access their cloud-hosted virtual desktop from anywhere on any device – whether from a home PC, thin client or public computer.
Michael Thompson, Virtualization Engineer, Raymond James Financial
"DesktopPlayer is the perfect solution for our BYO Mac employees. It's easy to use and performs very well, and it allows us to provide our corporate Windows image without having to wipe the users' devices."
Arthur Blakely, Senior Systems Administrator, Progrexion
"Citrix DesktopPlayer makes it super easy to give a preconfigured Windows VM to Mac users all around the corporation. It is far easier than VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop."
Calvin Hsu, Vice President, Product Marketing, Desktops and Apps at Citrix
"The popularity of Apple products in businesses is clearly growing at a brisk pace. Enterprises are deploying desktop virtualization to enable mobile workstyles and manage the diversity of devices that users are bringing into the workplace. With the introduction of DesktopPlayer, these organizations can now address a rapidly growing set of users: mobile employees who need to access their virtual desktops on their MacBooks while disconnected. No other virtual desktop solution on the market provides the centralized management and security that DesktopPlayer and XenDesktop can."
DesktopPlayer is available now as a XenDesktop FlexCast® add-on at $75 per user/per device. Download a 90-day free trial of DesktopPlayer and use it with Synchronizer to manage up to ten MacBook Pro or MacBook Air laptops.

The GfK research group said Wednesday its forward-looking consumer climate index rose to 9.7 points for May, up from 9.4 points in April and above economists' expectations it would remain flat. GfK says the index figure was buoyed by an increase in income expectations to a nine-month high amid a strong labor market, and also increases in economic expectations and in consumers' propensity to buy. GfK says consumers believe "domestic demand will continue to be the essential pillar of the German economy." GfK's monthly survey is based on some 2,000 consumer interviews. © 2016 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by sleepywombat, May 1, 2006.
Right now I have mine zip tied to my rear rack and use my stock tool tube as well.
Interesting. I was kinda hoping to only have one tool tube, but maybe that's unrealistic if I want to carry a spare set of inner tubes.
I fit mine on a piece of aluminum angle. I later installed a 12 volt outlet in the aluminum above the tube.
The tool tube does fit in place of the stock tube and is functional, looky here. However, recently I've been thinking of something a bit bigger. I'd like to carry tools, tube(s), pump in one spot. Maybe a Pelican 1170. Mocked up a box the same size and it might fit in place of the stock tube but probably would need to be mounted more outboard. The R1??0GS guys mount them all over the place and I found a XR650 thread here with one mounted so the lid opened inward and set on the rear tire to make a nice platform. Haven't seen the 1170 used on DR650's, has anyone else?
If you got the smaller diameter, two tubes are going to just about fill it up.
Two tubes in the fender bag, the red bungee keeps the bag from sliding forward under heavy braking, two 16" tire irons in the tailbag, tool roll in the 12-3/4" x 4-1/2" tool tube. The tool roll barely fits.
The plastic bracket with one mounting hole has broken on some, so I don't trust it.
Details on the mounting:
More ideas in Krusty's Index:
I see you also have the side cover tab outside the normal location, inside the rear fender piece. Was that necessary for clearance?
there are a half dozen methods and probably a dozen threads on drriders as to how to effectively mount that exact tool tube. I used the $10 exhaust flange method myself.
Thanks; that's very useful info. I think a fender bag for the tubes is in the cards but I hope to put all my tools and tire irons in the tube. Wish me luck.
Apparently, a couple of years ago Suzuki started using allen head screws for the NSU. The new style screws don't really address the problem. It root of the NSU screw problem is that the screws tighten up against the plastic of the NSU body. The plastic eventually collapses a little bit leaving the screws with little or no tension on them. Suzuki should put some metal collars in the screw holes in the NSU body. Then the screws would stay tight. Of course that would require redesigning the NSU.
It has been suggested to me by an inmate that one can make a tool tube 19" long by 3" diameter out of ABS pipe. I'm going to try that out. It seems like max capacity and sturdy as well.
I used a piece of air duct (4"), the bottom to a coffee can epoxied in one end, and one of those pipe inspection port plugs for the other. Cost nothing (had the stuff around) and does the job. It's zip tied with the 3/8" wide ties to my frame and wolfman racks. Holds everything I would ever want to have, including tire irons, patches, air pump, expanded tool kit, basic first air kit, extra contacts, zip ties, gorrila tape, and more. I think it's about 15-18" long, IIRC.
6'3 185 lbs, plan on riding single track in my backyard with the nephews (going very slow). ADV rides which will consist of 40% gravel and dirt roads, 30% highway and 30% single/jeep trails. Planning numerous 2-3 day rides which means I will be packing my gear (~30lbs) doing the above type riding.
Owned a 2005 KLR and did a few weekend rides. My opinion was it was too big, heavy and lethargic.
Budget is ~$3500.
Shooting from the hip, DRZ400, DR650 or be patient and find a TE610?
I wonder what the unbiased participants in this thread will suggest...
I'll start.
The Keintech tool tube is light gauge steel. And 17 inches long! I have full size spoon/wrench combo levers, a pump, full allen set, screwdriver, adjustable crescent, some sockets and ratchet, locktite, safety wire, zipties, and my paperwork in a ziplock in mine.
http://sports.nelson.geek.nz/motorsport/mybikes/DR650/20101023 ToolTube/index.html
... and I love the mt21 front. Sticks good wet or dry on pavement, clears mud well and since its not directional you can flip it to get edges again and more miles.
For a rear I love the Dunlop 606. If more mileage is needed, maybe an mt21 front and a heidanau (sp?) K60..
Here are a few other RTW reports featuring the DR650
Jammin Jay
Big Al Smith
Jedi Master S. America
Lars from Joberg (girl friend riding DR650)
Air Borne Andy
Girl Friend on DR/Husband on KLR
JediMaster N. America
I'm really just going on what various members here have said here on this thread over the last couple years. Not staggering numbers but there have been a few claiming they found previously used Phillips bolts were now Allen/Hex bolts ... but that they were also TIGHT. Who knew?
On my '06 ... (in about '07) they were just barely snug. I simply backed them out, added Loc Tite and tightened them as much as I dare. That was about 40,000 miles ago. Maybe I should check on them one of these days?
At 6'3" you may be inclined to either lower the pegs or get a "tall" seat ... or both? The DR650 feels quite a bit smaller ... and LIGHTER than a KLR.
(I've owned both). It's also a better trail bike and handles better ON and OFF road, IMHO. But a very well set up KLR can be much better than a stock one. Same with a good DR ... so much better than stock. Nothing but money.
It needs a better seat and upgraded suspension to be it's best. Still may not match the 610/630 or Terra in a race, but I guarantee the DR will get there without mechanical issues ... and for the next five years.
Also, MUCH better on highway at a steady 75 mph for 10 hours a day.
Good gravel/dirt road handler, slides OK in flat track mode. Fair trail bike.
Packs up better than the KLR .... no broken bolts or sub frames.
Way stronger than the 610 but not as much fun when Roosting.
Thanks for compiling those ... Saved for future reference . Love seeing the DR in action...

Mike Bloomberg Calls For Ban On Assault Weapons
In the least unexpected news of the week, Mayor Mike, whose forays into central planning started with banning sugary sodas, and then proceeded to gas rationing, has just done what everyone expected him to do, and demand a ban on all assault weapons:
We eagerly await the imminent escalation: the "taxable inhalable oxygen for those making over $250,000 - it's only fair act" to be proposed by Mayor Mike and his central-planning enamored brethren in D.C. next.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and dozens of shooting survivors and victims' relatives are calling on Congress and President Barack Obama to tighten gun laws and enforcement.
The mayor was appearing at City Hall Monday with 34 people whose own lives or the lives of their relatives have been affected by gun violence around the country. They're sending videos to lawmakers telling their stories.
Bloomberg has long been an advocate for tougher national gun regulations. He has found himself at the forefront of a re-energized push for gun control since Friday's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
He says the carnage "demands immediate national action."
- advertisements -
Bloomberg makes comp;lete sense.
If you fear the police then you must be committing a crime?
I don't own a gun, lived in the absolute 'hood in Jackson Ward RVA when our murder rate was #1 per capita and never needed a gun.
Why does anyone need an assualt rifle?
Ferderal gun laws MUST BE ENFORCED.
There are more guns in this country than people.
If the gov't gets untenable the armed forces will protect the people from the gov't.
Think it through. How does a gun protect you from the gov't? It doesn't. That is what the army is for.
Hmm... I missed it by that much.
Perhaps it's not the wry but the rye.
No reason to lose your head when your the one getting shit upon. It takes time. Bernanke has set a course for ultimate self destruct. Reading ZH today revealed in the treasury market " collapsing Indirect interest is persisting"
Sounds like treasury bonds are losing luster. If the cops don't get paid we get their guns. When the army doesn't get paid we get their guns.
It will take time and I am sure you want to live to see it. Wasting your resources on arms might not be the best allocation.
Did you get you HuffPo bookmark messed up again?
Besides, if we're going to start enforcing centralized laws, how about the Galactic laws? Tell ya what... since I'm the Emperor of the MFing Galaxy (yes, that's really it's name, (thank Corzine)), I'll grant you an audience... well, just as soon as you clear up that little incident concerning all of the back taxes you owe the MFGRS (after all, I can't be expected to entertain state criminals).
Oh, as for my title... well, perhaps you were apathetic on election day, that is assuming you even bothered to register AT ALL!
Hhmmm, that must be why Bloomberg has his own private security detail with the best assault weapons ben's jewbucks can buy. Why does my public servant get to carry such weapons and be afforded such security. If he has been such a good mayor in making sure laws were upheld his citizens should love him right? Bullshit, while I agree that laws should be enforced, this fascism is sickening. This guy presides of a den of fucking crimminals and he wants to disarm everybody? Execute John Corzine and then let's talk.
Point goes to LawsofPhysics.
I can't argue w/ your reasoning.
Trying to take on the "Blackwater" alumni is futile I can assure you.
There must be another way?
Many of us have served our country. Many went our own ways (with our guns and knowledge). We keep in touch. Many of the former Delta operatives I know make some great gear now. We wait, we watch, patience. Evil and cowardice always show themselves first. Love and caring enough to actually make an honest fix requires real courage. If the mayor wishes to continue to isolated his city, fine with me. I will simply encourage those in agriculture like, myself, to do less business with this region. All economies are local and blowback is a bitch.
When I wrote ***How does a gun protect you from the gov't? It doesn't. That is what the army is for.*****
I should have included veterans as well.
I too think Manhattan needs to be excommunicated from the Union so they may bear the cost of Wall Street's treachery. I'm sure an inordinate amount of tax dollars flows to NYNY so the bankers can maintain their high style while letting federal tax dollars take care of the rest of their infrastructure. I say lay siege and tax Manhattan, let them pay for their folly with their own money. Why should we be forced to pay for their criminal ways?
Chicago and San Francisco can be brought in line as well.
This whole Union business is not working out well. The ass clown who owns the house next to mine lives in another state and I can't compel him to follow the laws of my state to maintain his property. I say forget about the United part and let the States regain their sovereignty.
I don't see the Federal Gov't as anything other than oppression and usurping my property rights.
If we ever wage a just war, which actually defends the constitution, I will, then, thank you for your service. Until then I respect your opinion.
"If we ever wage a just war, which actually defends the constitution"
FYI, buying and holding PMs is doing just this.
Interestingly one of the co sponsors of the last attempt to extend the assault weapons ban was the honorable Jon Corzine when he was a senator. Isn't that special, sponsored by a fucking criminal
Bloomberg should stop his protection detail from carrying firearms. His corporate security at Bloomberg LP should be prohibited from carrying firearms. All guests to Bloomberg LP should be banned from carrying firearms as well, no matter how VIP they are. Come on Bloomberg, be the example .... /sarc/
Pry them from my cold dead hands. They are protection from tyranny.
CNBC just had two mayors..one from Atlanta....saying ban the guns.....but they have huge security staff..with high cap magazines..with assault weapons..probably auto weapons...why?....if its so safe....set the example first guys...you drop your fist...oh and don´t get me started on the POTUS...and his security....???
Damn right! If it is the guns causing the problem, get rid of them all! Thus their calls for us to only disarm ourselves falls of deaf ears...
Fricken Nazi's!
Right...no guns for the innocent or defensless but guns for the gangbangers!!!
Make em illegall they will become more of a black market than crack, coke, weed, meth all put together!
such a horrific, SHORT SIGHTED, LIVE FOR NOW SOCIETY we live in WITH NO LEADERSHIP WHATSOEVER...NONE.....
he should list his bans in order of importance. does the twinkie ban rate higher or lower on his list than the sub machine gun ban?
1. What is he doing about "Fast & Furious?"
2. What penalties has he imposed on his finest that shot 9? bystanders?
Maybe we should outlaw accidents and suicide before we outlaw guns?

i become a laugh track when i hear or read jews in power talk about the need to reduce or take away rights in the name of public security. maybe they need to be reminded again why that is not such a good idea.
apparently all the others in power clamoring for draconian gun control need a real life lesson in history. also.
my in house research is showing the demand for guillotines has almost reached the threshold of a viable business plan.

I would be willing to provide short term money.
I was thinking the same and I think Congress might be a little more motivated knowing we have ten guillotines in each state.

I am sick of these control freak assclowns who want to manage every aspect of our lives. Why can't these fuckers just go away?
When the Feds give up their drones, domestic surveillance, Patriot Act, and TSA groping I might - might - consider giving up a couple of my weapons. Until then - stuff it Bloomberg.
"Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones. The only thing accomplished by gun free zones is to insure that mass murderers can slay more before they are finally confronted by someone with a gun." – Larry Pratt, director Gun Owners Association of America
How many mass murders are there in police stations?
How many mass murders are there at a gun show?
You know why there are none. It would be suicide. Because most of the people there have a gun.
The banker-controlled media is going to talk about going after the guns as much as it can get away with. These people don't care about lives. They care about restrictions on guns because they want restrictions on freedom. They know, like Lenin and Michael Bloomberg, that "One man with a gun can control a hundred without one." They know that the current government is preparing, if necessary, to disarm those who would rebel against their encroaching police state. Bloomberg, with his $40 Million NYC surveillance operation who told his police officers that they should not protect Americans who oppose gun control, is the voice of the police state.
The enemy, the State, wants Americans defenseless. Keep your freedom by keeping your guns. And prepare to "Run to the sound of the guns."
"The enemy, the State, wants Americans defenseless."
Exactly. So called 'gun-free' zones must be abolished, and quickly.
Ban Halo and Call of Duty! Just don't ban the banksters, ponzi schemers, or vampire squid!

We can start with the NYPD. Come on, Mike. You can actually control that.
Is there a reason the NYPD trains their officers to use an M4 automatic machine gun? Is there a reason the "Elite Service Unit" of the NYPD is armed with these weapons? These people have obviously shown a pattern of anti-social and violent behavior with regards to their jobs. Some of them even have the homicidal God Complex.
Get back to us on this one, Mike. I'm sure you're ready to do your part to ban assault weapons.

Waterloo tech startup Sortable a 'threat' to Google
The "decision engine" helps consumers make choices all in one place – it's a move that could take a bite out of Google's search business.

Share via Email
Forget frustrating searches through dozens of websites – Waterloo tech startup Sortable helps consumers to make decisions in one place.
The seven engineering geeks behind the "decision engine" are hoping to threaten Google's search business and its ad revenue because they have eliminated the need to click on multiple pages, said co-founder Christopher Reid from the Accelerator Centre in Waterloo.
Sortable.com, which launched last week, uses complex algorithms to help people filter through product features and choose products based on characteristics that matter to them, Reid explained.
"Over the next decade decision engines will become huge," Reid said. "This technology will start brokering a lot of commerce."
Sortable lets consumers comparison shop for cameras, TVs, phones, tablets and laptops – for now. Eventually, it will help people choose cars, restaurants or even who to vote for in the U.S. presidential race.
"We're really trying to mimic what humans do," Reid said.
If a person wants a camera that shoots high-definition video with a long battery life for less than $1,800, Sortable will rank which the most suitable options. Size, brand and a variety of other factors can help narrow a list, although some of the complex specifications could intimidate less tech savvy consumers.
While he can't "guarantee 100 per cent" that every single product in the world is on the site, Reid said the team labours to make sure new products are on the site within a couple days of launching.
In a Sept. 2011 a senate antitrust hearing on whether Google's power served consumers or threatened competition, Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt recognized that comparison shopping sites were cropping up to compete with the search giant.
He mentioned that decision engine FindTheBest.com, one of Sortable's main competitors, raised $6 million in funding.
"While they may not all succeed, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs alike continue to believe they can compete with Google, Yelp, Nextag, and other established competitors," Schmidt said in his statement.
By Reid's estimates, Sortable beats all the other decision engines in traffic with about 3 million visitors each month. Reid claims Sortable is the first that "really works" and that it outperforms its American competitors despite its comparatively small size.
Sortable has provided 41 million recommendations since it started testing its algorithm with separate websites for cameras, phones and cars, Reid said.
Of the 21,000 purchases tracked, returns are 50 per cent below average, Reid said. This is a boon for retailers, as restocking costs can be "phenomenal," he added.
Sortable has raised $500,000 in funding – so far.
Decide.com, a popular site that tells consumers when to buy based on price point, told the New York Times in December that it was "even harder" to create an algorithm telling consumers what to buy.
Competitor Hunch.com was purchased for an estimated $80 million by eBay and Google bought sparkbuy.com for a reported $6 million.

Report: Seahawks will not re-sign Matt Hasselbeck
|07.26.11 at 4:14 pm ET
According to the Seattle Times, veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will not re-sign with the Seahawks after 10 seasons with the team. Hasselbeck, a Boston College graduate, is an unrestricted free agent and is reportedly interested in signing with the Cardinals, 49ers, Titans or Dolphins.
The 35-year-old quarterback completed 266 passes last season for 3,001 yards with 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. Hasselbeck threw four touchdowns on January 8 when the Seahawks shocked the defending champion Saints in last year's playoffs.

My eight-year-old bookworm boy is at a stage I remember from my own childhood. His reading is voracious, and often above his age. He ingurgitates lexicon like a porifera.
He's very much an independent reader. Aside from our homeschooling reading, I'm pretty much just the supplier of the library card. His favourite reading spot is the couch, but when the twins get too disruptive, he holes up in his room. I don't always know what he's currently reading.
So sometimes his conversation includes words that he uses absolutely correctly in meaning, but pronounces wrong. He's never (or rarely) heard them, but has added them to his vocabulary via the written word.
Given his taste in space / airship / sailing adventure stories, a perfect example is "debris". I've heard so many of his narrative Lego sagas which include "debriss". I keep reminding him of the pronunciation, but he's such a visual kid that the written shape is dominant in his mind.
I particularly like it when I hear him use words that I've never used. It's a sign that his internal world is growing.
Yesterday he peeled and chopped the potatoes for dinner, for the first time. Woohoo! Aside from it being good for his fine motor skills, it's part of my plan to have him independently cooking at least one dinner a week by the time he's 12.
At the bottom of the potato bag, he found a particularly malformed specimen.
"That's a queer one!" he said. I blinked and agreed.
I suspect he's been reading The Faraway Tree. I tried reading it aloud to him when he was younger, but found it too hard to keep a straight face with all the Dicks and Fannies.
I didn't have a conversation with him about the other meaning of the word, but I think I will. He needs to know that while he might use it in the original sense of the word, others may interpret it differently.
And as for "gay"? If I ever hear my kids using it as a way to describe something as undesirable, pathetic or weird, I'll be having words with them.
I expect them to have a better vocabulary than that.
If you caught your child using homophobic language - knowingly or not - would you talk to them about it?

Congressman wants to create public-private nano partnership
Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., is working on legislation aimed at helping to fill the gap between federal nanotechnology research and efforts to bring new nanotech advancements to market. The bill, which Honda is still in the process of drafting, would create a public-private partnership to address what Honda sees as the funding gap between nanotechnology research and commercialization.

With handbags evolving from being a useful accessory to a coveted collectable in recent years, the independent New York-based Luxury Institute polled 783 wealthy U.S. consumers to find the "It" bag – and American luxury brand Leiber won.
Hand-made crystal evenings bags by Leiber, a company founded by Hungary-born Judith Leiber in 1963, have earned the company international fame and are now part of collections in various museums in the United States and Britain.
"The Leiber bags are really a work of art rather than just an accessory," Luxury Institute Chief Executive Milton Pedraza told Reuters.
"These days women buy many, many more bags than they used to for special occasions and there is no question that it is perceived to be different – much more unique and exclusive."
He said Leiber's handcrafted creations were praised as perfect show-stopping accessories by the online survey's respondents who had an average income of $305 000 and average net worth of $2.2 million.
... and it doesn't come sheap
On Leiber's website its day bag is priced at $5 595 while its evening bags range from $1 955 for a clutch bag to $4 955 for a bag shaped like a rattlesnake.
Handbags by Hermes – which makes the Kelly and the Birkin bags – and Prada were ranked second and third, respectively.
"The Hermes is gorgeous but more of an everyday bag," said Pedraza.
A status accessory
Handbags have taken on a new life in recent years as a status accessory.
According to Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst for The NPD Group, the number of consumers buying luxury handbags priced at $400 or more has doubled in the last five years.
Demand for a status bag has become so hot that several websites have emerged where people can borrow luxury handbags.
One such site, www.bagborrowsteal.com, founded in 2004, rents out bags from over 100 designers from $40 a week.
"We are giving women easy access to a whole new level of luxury," said spokeswoman Patricia Hambrick in a statement.
Pedraza did not expect the demand for luxury bags to fade.
"If anything accessories will become more important. There is a growing number of millionaires and even in the middle class income levels people want to become more connoisseurs with regards to their accessories," he said.
The other 23 handbag brands to make the elite ranks, listed alphabetically, were Bottega Veneta, Brighton, Burberry, Chanel, Chloe, Coach, Cole Haan, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Dooney & Bourke, Fendi, Ferragamo, Furla, Gucci, Kate Spade, L.A.M.B., Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, Ralph Lauren, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Bankrate.com is out with the monthly look at how Americans feel about financial security, and here to help break it down is Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. So where do stand this month, Greg?
Recent stock market returns, housing data and the latest jobs report all have Americans feeling a bit better about their finances this month Lucas. Although the Financial Security Index rebounded to its highest level since June, this wasn't enough to tip it back into positive territory, with people still indicating a slight decline in financial security over the past 12 months.
How do people grade their overall financial situations?
We see some big differences here. Just 16 percent of retirees say their overall financial situation is better than one year ago -- that's the same reading as the unemployed. At the other end of the scale, 31 percent of those that are employed full time and one-third of households earning $50,000 per year or more report an improved overall financial situation versus one year ago.
Shifting gears a little bit, the Federal Reserve is now pledging to keep interest rates low until mid-2015. Does this make consumers more inclined to borrow money?
That's the very question we asked, and nearly 3 out of 4 Americans -- 74 percent -- said they are not more inclined to borrow money as a result. Just 23 percent said they are, and that's probably not the result the Fed was hoping to hear.
Thanks Greg. For more information on this month's Financial Security Index and to see how you stack up against other Americans, just visit our website Bankrate.com. I'm Lucas Wysocki.

BEIJING, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Changyou.com Limited ("Changyou" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CYOU), a leading online game developer and operator in China, today announced that it began open beta testing of Battlefield™ Online, the Company's first licensed online first-person shooter game ("FPS") on November 15, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090402/CNTH020)
Battlefield™ Online is licensed from Electronic Arts, and is a Chinese online game version of the classic Battlefield™ franchise. The game breaks away from traditional FPS gameplay, utilizing jet fighters, tanks and even aircraft carriers as the main instruments of warfare, while firearms and ammunitions function as auxiliary weaponry. The game allows players to not only compete as small teams in Team Death Match and Capture mode, but also to participate in large-scale combat with up to 100 players in a 50 vs. 50 battlefield. Additionally, Battlefield™ Online features different infantry classes. Players can select from four classes including "medic," "antitank soldier," "engineer" and "sniper" when joining a combat or before re-spawn. The battlefields in the game are portrayals of real-life battle settings and even the parameters of the military vehicles in the game are based on reality as well.
Mr. Dewen Chen, Changyou's president and chief operations officer, commented, "The FPS game market is an established market in China, and players demand for diverse and unique gameplay experiences is expanding. Battlefield™ Online contains unique features like large-size battlefields and military vehicles that we believe will appeal to more advanced FPS players. Battlefield™ Online is Changyou's first FPS game, through which the company will further enrich and diversify our game portfolio and attract more FPS players with innovative gameplay, ultimately further expanding our user base."
