Get Started With Barcode Scanning#
In this guide you will learn step by step how to add barcode capture to your application. Roughly, the steps are:
Create a new data capture context instance, initialized with your license key.
Create a barcode capture settings and enable the barcode symbologies you want to read in your application.
Create a new barcode capture mode instance and initialize it with the settings created above.
Register a barcode capture listener to receive scan events. Process the successful scans according to your applications needs, e.g. by looking up information in a database. After a successful scan, decide whether more codes will be scanned, or the scanning process should be stopped.
Obtain a camera instance and set it as the frame source on the data capture context.
Display the camera preview by creating a data capture view.
If displaying a preview, optionally create a new overlay and add it to data capture view
Before starting with adding a capture mode, make sure that you have a valid Scandit Data Capture SDK license key and that you added the necessary dependencies. If you have not done that yet, check out this guide.
You can retrieve your Scandit Data Capture SDK license key, by signing in to your account at ssl.scandit.com.
Create the Data Capture Context#
The first step to add barcode capture capabilities to your application is to create a new data capture context. The context expects a valid Scandit Data Capture SDK license key during construction.
DataCaptureContext dataCaptureContext = DataCaptureContext.forLicenseKey("-- ENTER YOUR SCANDIT LICENSE KEY HERE --");
Configure the Barcode Scanning Behavior#
Barcode scanning is orchestrated by the BarcodeCapture data capture mode. This class is the main entry point for scanning barcodes. It is configured through BarcodeCaptureSettings and allows to register one or more listeners that will get informed whenever new codes have been recognized.
For this tutorial, we will setup barcode scanning for a small list of different barcode types, called symbologies. The list of symbologies to enable is highly application specific. We recommend that you only enable the list of symbologies your application requires.
BarcodeCaptureSettings settings = new BarcodeCaptureSettings();
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.CODE128, true);
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.CODE39, true);
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.QR, true);
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.EAN8, true);
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.UPCE, true);
settings.enableSymbology(Symbology.EAN13_UPCA, true);
If you are not disabling barcode capture immediately after having scanned the first code, consider setting the BarcodeCaptureSettings.codeDuplicateFilter to around 500 or even -1 if you do not want codes to be scanned more than once.
Next, create a BarcodeCapture instance with the settings initialized in the previous step:
barcodeCapture = BarcodeCapture.forDataCaptureContext(dataCaptureContext, settings);
Register the Barcode Capture Listener#
To get informed whenever a new code has been recognized, add a BarcodeCaptureListener through BarcodeCapture.addListener() and implement the listener methods to suit your application's needs.
First implement the BarcodeCaptureListener interface. For example:
public void onBarcodeScanned(@NonNull BarcodeCapture barcodeCapture,
@NonNull BarcodeCaptureSession session, @NonNull FrameData frameData) {
List<Barcode> recognizedBarcodes = session.getNewlyRecognizedBarcodes();
// Do something with the barcodes.
Then add the listener:
Use the Built-in Camera#
The data capture context supports using different frame sources to perform recognition on. Most applications will use the built-in camera of the device, e.g. the world-facing camera of a device. The remainder of this tutorial will assume that you use the built-in camera.
When using the built-in camera there are recommended settings for each capture mode. These should be used to achieve the best performance and user experience for the respective mode. The following couple of lines show how to get the recommended settings and create the camera from it:
CameraSettings cameraSettings = BarcodeCapture.createRecommendedCameraSettings();
// Depending on the use case further camera settings adjustments can be made here.
Camera camera = Camera.getDefaultCamera();
if (camera != null) {
Because the frame source is configurable, the data capture context must be told which frame source to use. This is done with a call to DataCaptureContext.setFrameSource():
The camera is off by default and must be turned on. This is done by calling FrameSource.switchToDesiredState() with a value of FrameSourceState.ON:
if (camera != null) {
On Android the Scandit Data Capture SDK is not lifecycle aware which means it is not able to turn off the camera when the app goes in the background etc. which has to be done as otherwise the camera is locked for other apps. This responsibility to do this is left to the implementer. Make sure that you always turn the camera off in the activity's onPause lifecycle method. Often this means that you want to (re)start it in onResume. You can see a way of doing this in all of the samples.
There is a separate guide for more advanced camera functionality.
Use a Capture View to Visualize the Scan Process#
When using the built-in camera as frame source, you will typically want to display the camera preview on the screen together with UI elements that guide the user through the capturing process. To do that, add a DataCaptureView to your view hierarchy:
DataCaptureView dataCaptureView = DataCaptureView.newInstance(this, dataCaptureContext);
To visualize the results of barcode scanning, the following overlay can be added:
BarcodeCaptureOverlay overlay = BarcodeCaptureOverlay.newInstance(barcodeCapture, dataCaptureView);
Disabling Barcode Capture#
To disable barcode capture, for instance as a consequence of a barcode being recognized, set BarcodeCapture.isEnabled to false. There will not be any new results until the capture mode is enabled again. Note that disabling the capture mode does not stop the camera, the camera continues to stream frames until it is turned off.
What's next?

I suppose I mourn like everyone mourns when a celebrity dies. There's an initial shock of the loss, followed by the resignation of either a life well lived or one cut short. While this isn't "Framily", you know them. They've been in your home or in your local cinema and to a varying degree they may have moved you, enthralled you or turned you off. And your reaction to their loss follows suit.
My reaction to the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman is obviously one of sadness. Yet, I'm kinda surprised at the depth of sadness I felt. The news seemed to color my Super Bowl Sunday; a light shade of down as opposed to a dark abyss. Noticeable, not oppressive. I liked Hoffman as an actor. His work was consistent. Intelligent, nuanced, committed . . . all the inadequate buzz-words that we used to describe the art.
Truly, though, I think I liked his work . . . I admired him . . . because he was me. And my sadness at his death is actually in the death of his work. Work that reached a level that I've never achieved. The me I never became.
I am not so self-deluded as to compare my work as an actor to that of an Oscar-winner. Yet, he and I shared a similar physicality. Though I was more obese than he, neither of us would be considered a traditional leading man. We were about the same height. His blonde hair lighter than mine. We were both born in upstate NY. We both saw a play at a young age and were transformed. We both became fixated with being an actor.
And of course, here's where the paths diverged. In show biz, success comes to those who are driven . . . who let nothing stand in their way. Hoffman wanted to act. Needed to act. He had the all-consuming need to express himself by pretending to be someone else. And he drove himself to be the best actor he could be.
I wanted to be liked. Admired for my abilities. My own self-esteem reflected the applause or praise I received after a performance. Sure, all actors . . . all humans feel some semblance of this. For me, it was an attempt at finding acceptance through acting and it affected the way I thought of my work. Rather than being focused on the process, the development of my craft, I was focused on the result. Actually the result of the result. This was and is the Great Wall that separated me from truly being an artist. Eventually, I would judge all my performances against what I thought was good and, for the most part, came away wanting. I was never as good as I wanted to be.
What I've seen in his work, and what I've read about him over the past 24 hours, Philip Seymour Hoffman found similar frustration with his acting. A five-year-old profile in the New York Times quoted him, "On every film, you'll have nights where you wake up at 2 in the morning and think, I'm awful in this. You see how delicate it is — a little movement to the right or the left, and you're hopelessly hokey."
I don't know that I ever woke up in the middle of the night to fret about a character, but the fear of sucking and the admitting of actual sucky performances was always there. For me it became too much and I gave up acting for a long time. Today, where once I would do 3-4 productions a year, I act only rarely and when sufficiently begged. The infrequency makes it easier to accept what I'm doing on stage and put my own obsessions away.
Philip Seymour Hoffman apparently couldn't put his obsessions anywhere. How truly tortured he was by his art I don't know, but when anyone in his mid-forties uses heroin as a means of escape . . . well, I'd guess he was pretty tortured. His self-destruction tolls a familiar, unpleasant tone in my own psyche and the emptiness left in his wake is in me.
Requiescat in pace.

2019 is being a very positive year for Ceará. Passenger traffic in the state has increased notably. Also, Fortaleza hotels have the best occupancy rate in Brazil. Figures released by the Flash Imobiliario report, state that the value of all properties sold in Q1 totalled R$342 billion. This shows an increase of 29% on the same period last year. These are only some of the many improvements that Ceará is seeing.
Ceará's growth
According to the Brazilian Institute of Research Services Monthly Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the State of Ceará was the fastest growing in the whole country in volume of tourist activities. Figures show an increase of 9.9%, a rate almost three times higher than the average of Brazil in the first half.
Arialdo Pine, the Secretary of Tourism of Ceará, stated that the economy in Ceará is experiencing a growth due to the increase of direct flights and the presence of the state in international and national markets. The forecast for Ceará's second half is to carry on increasing the number of tourists.
"We are beginning to reap the fruits of years of negotiations with global companies and an intense destination outreach work in priority markets. The increase in the number of flights directly impacts the industry and the state's economy, bringing more income to the Ceará. It is good for the hotel chain for the transport sector, to restaurants, to trade" added the secretary.
Figures released by the Flash Imobiliario report, state that the value of all properties in Q1 totalled R$342 billion. This shows an increase of 29% on the same period last year.
The Coral Resort in Ceará
The Coral Resort is a five-star resort providing an idyllic paradise for residents and holidaymakers alike. It is situated in Praia Guajiru, Trairi. The Coral is a pure paradise of one million square meters of beautiful sand dunes, exquisite beaches, cool freshwater streams, natural lagoons and tropical coco and palm plantations. A resort in complete synergy with its natural environment.

Are y'all ready for another singing competition? Boyband episode 2 airs tonight on ABC at 8 pm ET. With Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys), Emma Bunton (Spice Girls' Baby Spice) and Timbaland producer, songwriter, rapper), as "architects" (NOT JUDGES!) hopeful 14 to 24-year-old singers will compete to become a member of what producers hope to be the next great boyband. Rita Ora is set to host.
Thirty boys auditioned last week. The architects chose their Top 18 and split them into 3 groups. Uplift was the first group to perform. After, Cameron was sent home. Tonight, Reverb performs. Another singer heads home. Six Track performs next week. The show GOES LIVE in two weeks.
Before rehearsals, the boys have a little fun in the hotel pool. Emma joins them. NOT IN HER BATHING SUIT. She gives them a few tips poolside. She stressed the importance of the members looking after each other. That care will spill over onto the stage, she insists . She also stresses the importance of playing their "characters" on stage. Chance is feeling homesick. He misses his daughter. He's the only contestant who has a child, actually.
The boys perform a little preview right next to the pool, of Jon Bellion's "All Time Low." Emma gushes over how great they are.
Fun Fact: Jon Klaasen was a Top 51 contestant on American Idol 15. Don't feel bad if you don't remember him: He barely had any screen time.
In rehearsal, musical director Tim Davis cracks the whip. "This isn't your high school…not your church worship group," lectures Tim. He informs them: You aren't an individual–you are a prop. He continues his tough guy routine as he interrogates the boys. Is gospel singer Jaden Gray a one trick pony? He asks Andrew when he started singing. Since he was 10. But he also boxes to keep in shape. And he plays clubs. He wants to "sell out stadiums." Good luck with that, bud. When Andrew says he's the only one in his family with blue eyes and vocal talent. Tim says, "That makes you wonder…" (!!!)
Their song this week is "Stay" by Rihanna. Tim explains that the parts and rhythms will be difficult. Andrew is super off key. Oops. And so are the harmonies. Hm. Jon is having issues too. Tim is a ball buster, but he's obviously really good at what he does.
Next, Adam Blackstone takes over to mentor the singers. Jon explains that he plays piano, and the song's arrangement is the hardest he's ever done. Currently, he's putting songs up on You Tube. He came close to two record deals as a member of two bands. Oh. He'll be playing piano on stage. The jazzy, dissonant chords render every bad note excruciating. Adam says "If you mess up don't make a face!" Andrew says he's used to being a lead singer. The harmonies are intimidating. Adam also warns them not to go for the riffs and runs–use vocal power and tone instead.
Napoleon and Tabitha are up next to work on some moves. "If we were doing this with a group it would take us six days," says Napoleon. "We only have 4 hours." He lectures them about connecting to the song. He asks each of the singers about what the song means to him. Cam was in a wheelchair for 4 months after a basketball injury. He learned not to take things for granted. Brady shared his struggle with a childhood stutter. He tears up as he talks. Discovering that he didn't stutter when he sang was a big moment. Each of them read part of the words before singing them. The exercise makes a big difference.
There are tears! Especially Chance, who has issues with his child's mom. Their split was really difficult. His dad passed away when he was eight. Tabitha comforts him. SO MANY FEELS.
Finally, it's time for Reverb's performance of Rihanna's "Stay." Jon plays piano while each of the boys take the stage with a short solo. The screaming. Plz stop. Brady has a beautiful, sweet tenor. The harmonies are tentative though. They still aren't secure with the difficult parts. Gospel boy, Jaden, is also very good. Yep. Brady and Jaden are my favorites in this group.
The "architects" are on their feet. Emma is screaming. "The competition has started!" She compliments Brady's angelic tone. Nick compares him to a Greek statue. Emily also felt Chance "smashed" his parts. Timbaland thanked Jaden for holding back the runs. He also complimented Cam. "Natural buddy, natural." Nick says old school starts with the vocal harmonies, and he felt the harmonies cut through, like a Grammy performance. He didn't feel Jon took control of his part. Andrew needs to look at the audience more. "We need your stars to shine and come through." So I guess either Jon or Andrew is heading home.
Results! The first boy saved is…Brady. Timbaland announces Cam is also safe. Nick reveals Jaden is safe. Back to Emma. Chance is safe. Timbaland announces: The fifth boy is Andrew. Jon Klaasen is ELIMINATED. Timbaland thinks Jon has to figure out what he wants to do from this day forward because he "has it." Both Timbaland and Emma compliment his producer and songwriting abilities. I would have eliminated Andrew. He's not really boy band material and has difficulty being a team player.
Brady Tutton (15)
Cam Jackson (19)
Jaden Gray (16)
Chance Perez (19)
Andrew Bloom (19)
Jon Klaasen (19) – ELIMINATED

Choosing streets to bike
The first criteria for choosing streets to bike on is traffic speed. In the grid, nearly all of the streets are posted 25 mph, but traffic speeds vary widely from 20 to 40 mph. When a street is designed for 40 and then posted for 25, motor vehicle drivers respond by going 40. Again, this is a street design issue. I am not afraid of 40 mph traffic, and I am OK mixing in with it – I'm a vehicular bicyclist, but why, when I don't need to? So I pick other streets.
First preference is quiet streets with a design or signing welcoming to bicyclists. Best example is M Street in East Sacramento, my usual route to and from Trader Joes, and also when I jump off the parkway at Sac State and continue into downtown/midtown. Streets like M are the closest Sacramento has to bike boulevards or neighborhood greenways.
Second preference is narrow streets without bike lanes. Why? Because the traffic moves slowly on these streets, sometimes below the posted speed. Since I'm now treating stop signs as yield signs, the more frequent stop signs on these streets don't slow me down very much, there are few vehicles to take turns with except at two brief times of day. Parking along these streets helps a lot, particularly when it is diagonal, because parked cars create friction that slows drivers.
Third preference is streets with bike lanes. But often these are higher volume, higher speed streets. If I'm really in a hurry, these are the streets I use. Fewer stop signs and fewer signals make for a faster trip. In that sense I'm making the same decision as car drivers.


text: It's a given for most SEOs that if there's an image on a page, you should use ALT text on it with relevant keywords. But have you ever thought what that means for someone who is blind and is relying on the ALT text to tell them about the image? Many agencies continue to believe that SEO writing revolves around one process: inserting keywords into page tags and the body of the text itself. The barriers to SEO are significant for small businesses. With content suggestions, step-by-step instructions, and the ability to automatically make changes without updating your code, Search Engine Visibility can help take the work off you so you focus on what you do best - running your business. Does anyone know where I can find the best classic rocking horses ? Recently, I came across this great place for organic local fruit boxes . So, what's the truth behind all the leased line prices on the market? I asked where I could find SEO York but no-one could tell me. When done well, social media marketing, content strategy, paid search, conversion and website development all play a major role in the world of digital marketing.

Rebase without re-checkout
By Justin on January 3, 2014
TL;DR: when using multiple branches, prefer to use "git rebase –onto origin/master origin/master ${branch}" if you want to checkout and then rebase a branch.
Let's say you have the working history:
/-*-* A *-*-*-*-*-*-* origin/master \-*-*-* B
and you want to push the branch A because your CL has been approved. You have to rebase A on origin/master, then build and run test and do git cl push. Once this is done, you now have the following history:
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-@ origin/master (after push) \-*-*-* B
Now you want to go back to work on B. Until recently, I used the following commands (striked-ed out as I now consider them broken):
git checkout B
git rebase origin/master
This has the disadvantage of marking as dirty all the files that are in the delta between the point B diverged from origin/master in addition to all the files modified in B since the branch was created.
There is however a better way:
$ git rebase –onto origin/master origin/master B
This will still rebase B on top of origin/master, but will not checkout B first, so only the files that have been modified in B will be touched and considered dirty by the build. Depending on how large the change in origin/master have been, this can be the difference between rebuilding thousand of files and rebuilding just a few tens.
How to print Chromium string16 values from lldb using python scripts
By Justin on November 19, 2012
I found this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12923873/how-to-print-wchar-t-string-in-lldb with a minor tweak of if -> elif
Thanks stack overflow!
Python file:
$ cat ~/work/lldbscripts/unsignedshortptrsummary.py
import lldb
def unsignedshortptr_SummaryProvider(valobj, dict):
e = lldb.SBError()
s = u'"'
if valobj.GetValue() != 0:
i = 0
newchar = -1
while newchar != 0:
# read next wchar character out of memory
data_val = valobj.GetPointeeData(i, 1)
size = data_val.GetByteSize()
if size == 1:
newchar = data_val.GetUnsignedInt8(e, 0) # utf-8
elif size == 2:
newchar = data_val.GetUnsignedInt16(e, 0) # utf-16
elif size == 4:
newchar = data_val.GetUnsignedInt32(e, 0) # utf-32
return "
if e.fail:
return '
i = i + 1
# add the character to our string 's'
if newchar != 0:
s = s + unichr(newchar)
s = s + u'"'
return s.encode('utf-8')
init file:
$ cat .lldbinit
command script import /Users/justincohen/work/lldbscripts/unsignedshortptrsummary.py
type summary add -F unsignedshortptrsummary.unsignedshortptr_SummaryProvider "unsigned short *"
Gives you:
(lldb) p new_text
(string16) $5 = {
(unsigned short *) _M_p = 0x110625cc "This is a string16!!"
Git clean. No seriously, clean it.
By Justin on July 9, 2012
Working on Chrome, there are lots of dependencies that get pulled, and when I make untracked temporary changes in those dependancies sometimes I just want everything back to normal. So, here's the scorched earth method:
git clean -f -f -x -d
This blows away everything git doesn't know about. Then I do another clean dependency pull and I'm back to the beginning!
mach.h, dumping vm info
By Justin on May 21, 2012
#import "mach/mach.h"

mach_msg_type_number_t size = sizeof(info);
kern_return_t kerr = task_info(mach_task_self(),
if ( kerr == KERN_SUCCESS ) {
NSLog(@"task_info: %d.2MB\n", info.resident_size / 1048576);
else {
NSLog(@"task_info failed with error %d ( 0x%08d ), '%s'\n",
kerr, kerr, mach_error_string(kerr));
Another weird git problem
By Justin on February 2, 2012
Lately whenever I have to rebase I get a weird error about how I have a dirty tree and need to commit files.
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Failed to merge in the changes.
Well this is a dirty lie, and the problem appears to be related to hardlinking changing the ctime of the source file and confusing git into thinking that the files need to be re-checked-out. Bottom line, the fix is here:
git config --global core.trustctime false
Recent git branches
By Justin on December 20, 2011
Sometimes I forget to delete my old git branches, and I forget which is what and who is how. And so on and so forth. So I do this!:
git reflog --date=local --all
This outputs a nifty list of all the recent commits and which branches they were too. w00t.
iOS timing
By Justin on December 20, 2011
Again, do as I say not as I do. Here's a quick thing I like to do:
NSTimeInterval start = CACurrentMediaTime();
NSTimeInterval end = CACurrentMediaTime();
NSLog(@"%f", end-start);
git format-patch and git am
By Justin on December 6, 2011
Occasionally I need to send a git patch between computers. Yes, I know there are more efficient ways of doing this, but occasionally it needs to happen. So here's how I do it:
git format-patch --binary master.. --stdout > the.patch
and how to apply it:
git am --signoff < the.patch
Sigh, GoDaddy
By Justin on November 9, 2011
Well, it's official. All my domains are now registered with GoDaddy. Why? Because while they have a website which makes my eyes bleed, they constantly have coupons like OMGWTF FREE DOMAIN TRANSFERS for 5 years. So, I pay nothing.
I'll revisit who to transfer my domains to in about 5 years. Any suggestions until then?

Still Shopping, But for How Long?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Thank goodness for the consumer. Over the past year, ebullient American shoppers have continued to open their wallets, offsetting the decline in corporate spending and saving the economy from slumping into a recession. But a small, yet vocal group of bears believes the national shopping spree is about to end, with inescapably unpleasant consequences for the economy and the stock market.
"In the next couple of months there will be more job losses, and the consumer will capitulate," predicts James Paulsen, chief investment officer at Wells Capital Management. In fact, he believes there's a 70% chance the unemployment rate will rise above 5%, undermining consumer confidence and recent spending trends, and tipping the economy into a recession. Consumer spending represents about three-quarters of U.S. economic activity.
"I think the consumer is going down," adds Stephen Roach, Morgan Stanley's chief economist and a well-known bear. "Corporate America is in a deep earnings recession and needs to cut costs."
In the six years ended 2000, he observes, non-farm payrolls grew by 12.3 million, and 75% of the additions were white-collar jobs. "We went hog wild bringing managers in, and I think they're going to get slashed," Roach says. "We are only three months into head-count reductions, and most consumers are still in denial."
The death of the consumer has been bandied about for a while, but there's been little supporting evidence to date. Moreover, gloomy views about consumer spending don't represent the current consensus among Wall Street's optimistic seers. But the bears believe rising unemployment will be the trigger that forces consumers to confront their large debt loads and curtail their spending.
Douglas Cliggott, chief equity strategist at J.P. Morgan, notes that in prior economic cycles the unemployment rate never climbed by more than half a percentage point without ultimately rising at least 1.9 percentage points before hitting a peak. In the current cycle, unemployment has risen by six-tenths of a percentage point, which suggests the unemployment rate could top out at 5.8%. That possibility is alien to most market watchers' forecasts.
Yet, such an increase wouldn't be extraordinary. The unemployment rate climbed from 5% in March 1989 to 7.8% in June 1992 before heading lower again. That adds up to 39 months of rising unemployment during one of the economy's briefest recessions. So far, in the current cycle the U.S. has seen only eight months of rising unemployment.
Corporate profits hold the key to unemployment, and by extension consumer spending, as the chart below illustrates. "For the vast majority of businesses, labor is the most important cost," Cliggott says.
Put simply, when profit margins come under pressure, jobs are cut. And Cliggott doesn't expect the pressure on margins -- or payrolls -- to end until next spring. The stock market, he wagers, won't begin to anticipate the bottom in either until late this year. He's expecting the S&P 500 index to end the year at 1200, essentially where it sits today.
Companies already are handing out pink slips at an unprecedented pace. Layoff announcements rose from 111,285 individuals in 1989 to a then-peak of 615,196 in 1993. In the mid-1990s they never receded to the 1989 level, which seemingly implies that the ties binding workers and employers only weakened through the decade. Job cuts fell to 439,882 in 1995 but have been rising ever since, with 677,795 recorded in 1998, amid the Asian financial crisis, and 675,132 in 1999 and 613,960 last year.
Through this year's first half, the number layoff announcements rose to 777,362, almost three times the cuts in the first half of 1998. Yet consumers apparently remain sanguine. "After nine or 10 years of expansion, there can be an enormous amount of residual optimism," says John Challenger of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement firm that tracks job-cut announcements daily and provided the aforementioned data.
Challenger, too, expects payrolls to shrink further. He speculates there will be more layoffs in the financial-services industry, which provided the fuel for the bubble in the technology and telecommunications sectors, but which has seen only minimal cuts to date.
Still, it's tough to rain on the bulls' parade. Most market analysts believe the Federal Reserve's six interest-rate cuts this year, and forthcoming federal tax rebate will bolster consumer confidence and spending, and help spur an economic rebound in the second half of the year.
"The consumer picture is quite strong," says Gail Fosler, the Conference Board's chief economist. "People are finding jobs quickly and wage rates are rising." As a result, she expects real consumer spending to stay above 3% this year and economic growth to bounce to 4.6% in the fourth quarter.
So far, the bulls have been right. The year-over-year increase in real consumer spending moderated to 3.4% earlier this year from an extremely robust 5.3% in 1999 and 2000, but it remains solidly positive. And, while unemployment has risen six-tenths of a percentage point since bottoming at 3.9% in September, it's still only 4.5%, meaning jobs hardly are scarce.
Consumers have benefited mightily from declining interest rates and rising home prices, which prompted a massive wave of home-mortgage refinancings in the fourth quarter of 2000 that continued into the first half of this year. Fannie Mae estimates $690 billion of mortgages will be refinanced this year, up from $225 billion last year and $520 billion in 1999. In the peak year, 1998, nearly $740 billion was refinanced. The mortgage behemoth believes about half of the folks who refinanced took equity out of their homes and walked away with checks for more than $18,000 apiece. That suggests $60 billion of equity will be taken out of homes this year, of which $40 billion may be spent.
The refinancing boom is "helping to keep the economy out of recession," says David Berson, the chief economist at Fannie Mae. Because home prices have climbed, loan-to-value ratios haven't increased, adds Berson, who expects the economy to rebound before year end.
Lower interest rates also have made purchasing a home or car more affordable. The National Association of Realtors forecasts that existing-home sales will rise 0.7% in 2001, to 5.15 million, the second-highest level on record. Along the same lines, U.S. sales of cars and light-trucks totaled 1,625,341 vehicles in June, up 0.3% from a year earlier. That translates into a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 17 million vehicles and would put sales on track for the third-best year ever.
Today, the consumer spends about 7%- 8% of monthly income on a car, the lowest since the 1980s, says Jeff Roegner, General Motors' manager of sales and industry analysis. People are making more money, manufacturers are offering incentives, and gas prices are falling after having climbed sharply. "The doomsayers were overly pessimistic about how the year would play out," he argues.
Indeed, car sales helped push June's retail sales numbers up 0.2%, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Take car sales out of the mix, however, and retail sales fell 0.2%.
"The consumer is still spending, but he or she is going to purchase merchandise at lower prices," says Donald Trott, a retailing analyst at Jefferies. He believes consumers are sticking closer to their needs and splurging less than in the recent past. If Trott's assessment is correct, spending will continue to muddle along at a less-frenzied pace than in the past few years.
Bulls also expect consumer spending to get a boost from federal income-tax rebate checks that are due to start arriving in the next month or so. Individuals will have up to $300 to spend, and couples as much as $600. Daniel Barry, a senior retailing analyst at Merrill Lynch, maintains consumers will spend "just about all the money they can get their hands on."
That assumes, of course, that the public remains confident enough to keep loading up on stuff, instead of banking the money or paying down debt. And, so far, there are few signs that consumers are losing sleep over the economy. In June, the University of Michigan's consumer-sentiment index, which tracks attitudes about the economy, stood at 92.6, up from 92 in May and a recent low of 90.6 in February. Pushing up the index was the component that tracks expectations, which rose to 86.9 in June from 85.4 in May. Investors rejoiced at the news and largely ignored the component that measures attitudes about current conditions, which fell to 101.6 from 102.2 in May.
"The consumer for the moment is still acting as if we're in a bull market," says James Bianco of Bianco Research, in Barrington, Illinois. More than $17 billion flooded into equity mutual funds in May, and cash registers still are ringing across the land. But if stocks continue to fall, this script will be rewritten. As Bianco says, "The minute the consumer gives up on the bull market, he'll stop spending."

How to Attatch a Ruffled Ribbon to a Pillow
Basic pillows are one the simplest decorating items to sew, and with just a bit more work you can add a ruffle around the edge. Fabric stores offer a variety of trims useful for dressing up a plain, unadorned pillow. Look for ribbon trims that are already ruffled -- these are ready to add to your pillow so you don't need to spend time ruffling your own fabric. Such ready-made trims have a lip of sturdy fabric attached. The lip allows you to attach the trim onto the pillow and should not show once the pillow is completed.
Measure your pillow form to determine the pillow cover's dimensions. Add 1 inch to your desired finished size to allow for hems. Cut a pillow front and back from decorator fabric with sharp scissors, using your measurements.
Cut ruffled ribbon trim equal in length to the distance around the perimeter of the pillow, plus 1 inch.
Place the pillow cover front flat on your work surface, with the right side facing up. Place the ruffled ribbon trim against one side, with the ruffle facing in toward the center of the pillow. Starting in the middle of the side of the fabric, pin the ribbon trim to the fabric. Align the trim's lip so that it is even with the raw edge of the fabric. Pin around the entire perimeter of the pillow. Ease the trim as you pin it around the corners to avoid puckering. At the spot where the two ends of the ruffled trim meet, tuck one end under the other, directing the edge toward the seam. This makes the seam less noticeable once you sew the seam.
Machine baste the trim to the pillow front. The stitching should butt up to the ruffled part of the trim. When you reach the corners, overlap the lip of the trim, making cuts into the lip where necessary, so the trim doesn't bunch up.
Place the right sides of the pillow back and front together, with the ruffled trim in between the fabric pieces. Stitch a 1/2-inch seam around the pillow cover, leaving an 8-inch opening on one side for turning.
Turn the pillow cover right-side out. Insert the pillow form through the open side. Make a slip stitch, sewing by hand with a needle and thread, on the back side of the ruffle to close up the remaining opening.
Things Needed
- Decorator fabric
- Scissors
- Pillow form
- Ruffled ribbon with lip
- Straight pins
- Sewing machine
- Needle and thread
- To make a slip stitch, insert your needle inside the turned edge on the lower open side of the pillow at one edge of the opening. Make a short horizontal stitch. Catch the top edge of the folded fabric on the inside of the pillow in a short stitch -- just one or two threads wide. Pull tight. Repeat the sequence to the end of the opening. The stitches should all be on the inside of the seam, invisible from the outside of the pillow.

Dishonest Spouse Can Doom Prenup's Enforceability
Prenuptial agreements, also known as premarital agreements, can help spouses preserve their assets in the event of a divorce. But if a spouse wasn't honest when he or she was drafting the prenup, the agreement may be unenforceable, according to Orsinger Nelson partner R. Scott Downing.
Mr. Downing, in an interview with the Reuters news service, said that he's seen such a case.
R. Scott Downing, a family law attorney in Dallas, Texas, had a client who was able to get her prenup overturned after a court ruled her husband had community property worth millions that he hadn't disclosed to his wife.
One of the husband's downfalls was that he had given his wife a revised prenup on their wedding day. When she said she wanted to call her attorney, he lied, saying that her attorney had said it was okay to sign it.
"People need to know that if you're going to promise somebody a complete disclosure in a prenup, you'd better give it to them," says Downing.
If you need advice about the negotiation, documentation, revision or enforcement of a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement, contact Jeff Anderson to schedule a consultation. Our law firm has offices in Frisco, Plano, and Dallas, Texas to better serve you. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through all aspects of premarital or postmarital planning and documentation to help reduce the uncertainties of subsequent divorce litigation or even death-related disputes.

Mistletoe Murder by Leslie Meier

As if baking holiday cookies, knitting a sweater for her husband's gift, and making her daughter's angel costume for the church pageant weren't enough things for Lucy Stone's busy Christmas schedule, she's also working nights at the famous mail-order company Country Cousins. But when she discovers Sam Miller, its very wealthy founder, dead in his car from an apparent suicide, the sleuth in her knows something just doesn't smell right.
Taking time out from her hectic holiday life to find out what really happened, her investigation leads to a backlog of secrets as long as Santa's Christmas Eve route. Lucy is convinced that someone murdered Sam Miller. But who and why? With each harrowing twist she uncovers in this bizarre case, another shocking revelation is exposed. Now, as Christmas draws near and Lucy gets dangerously closer to the truth, she's about to receive a present from Santa she didn't ask for--a killer who won't be satisfied until everyone on his shopping list is dead, including Lucy herself . . .
Mistletoe Murder is the first book in Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone series. This is my first time reading anything by this author and overall, I enjoyed the book. First published in 1991, it's certainly a product of its time, though, which is something to consider.
Lucy is a fun heroine because she's so different from a lot of the other heroines I read in cozy mysteries. Lucy is married with kids and she has a no-nonsense approach to life. She also has a bit of an off-color sense of humor, which is refreshing to read.
When Lucy isn't busy being a mom, she works nights as an operator at Country Cousins, a successful mail-order catalog company. Lucy is horrified one night when she discovers the dead body of Sam, the founder of Country Cousins. Initially it appears to be a suicide, but those close to Sam know that can't be right.
As Lucy prepares to get her family ready for another Christmas, she investigates Sam's murder. There are comedic moments, like when Lucy follows the trail of a possible hit man…only to unwittingly contact a few male escorts instead. Then there are horrifying moments, which include the deaths of not just one pet, but two. (As a dog lover, I was especially bothered by the dog's demise. It just seemed so unnecessary.)
The book was published in 1991 and it shows. For one thing, I'm pretty sure mail-order catalogs aren't much of a thing anymore, so much as online ordering has taken its place. I did smile whenever VCRs and other outdated technology was mentioned, simply for the nostalgia. However, there are some problematic moments, especially in the language used; for example, the word "retarded" is used to describe someone with a disability, and I was surprised that this hasn't been revised for recent editions. There's also a moment between Lucy and someone at work that's sadly relevant in today's #MeToo culture. It's basically brushed over in the story, but today would be a huge issue.
Overall, I did enjoy the story and plan on continuing the series. I'm interested to see how the storytelling (and Lucy herself) evolves over time and it'll be fun to see Lucy's kids grow up throughout the books. I recommend this cozy, which the caveat that it's definitely a product of the time in which it was written, so just be aware of that.
Rating: 3.5 stars

New polls show that Republican candidate Doug Wardlow is leading Democratic candidate Keith Ellison in the heated race for Minnesota AG.
The new poll shows Ellison behind Wardlow by 7 percentage points, receiving 36 percent of support from the voters. Wardlow is supported by 43 percent of the poll participants, the Star Tribune reported.
Minnesota Democrats have a choice between admitting to being a hypocrite in support of a womanizer or supporting the MAGA campaign.
Keith Ellison Again Misleads On Louis Farrakhan Ties https://t.co/gmAYTUdUeC via @dailycaller
— Larry Rhodes (@LarryR60041) October 23, 2018
Trending: Saul Alinsky Dedicated His Book 'Rules for Radicals' to LUCIFER
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison is sitting behind his Republican opponent Doug Wardlow for attorney general by a 7-point margin, just less than two weeks before the Nov. 6 midterm elections.
Ellison, who also serves as deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sits at 36 percent compared to Wardlow's 43 percent, according to a Star Tribune/Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) poll released Tuesday. This comes as Ellison led Wardlow by around six points as of Sept. 19, according to an earlier Star Tribune/MPR poll, meaning there was a 12-point shift in just over a month.
The shift in polling comes as Ellison faced sexual abuse allegations from his ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan. Monahan claims Ellison physically and emotionally abused her. More
Between Louis Farrakhan and domestic abuse accusations, Keith Ellison is now behind in a race Democrats have always taken for decades.
Last month, Ellison was beating Wardlow, 41 to 36 percent.
This reversal in Ellison's fortunes just two weeks prior to the election is yet another example of the growing power of New Media to dig up and disseminate information the establishment media wants buried.
There are three scandals currently dogging Ellison. The first is the domestic abuse allegation coming from a former girlfriend. Karen Monahan claims Ellison pulled her by her feet off of a bed and yelled profanities at her. Ellison admitted to calling her a "bitch" during an argument but denies any physical abuse.
The second scandal is his relationship with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious bigot and anti-Semite. The third is Ellison not being honest about his relationship with Farrakhan, especially his more recent contacts with a man who describes Jews as termites. More
A police report, hospital report, and pictures? What does that matter if you are a Democrat? Apparently squat! I hope the voters of Minnesota wake up and do not vote him in and throw him out as a Representative too!

Benefits of UPVC Doors
If you look up your street, there's a good chance that many of the houses will have UPVC doors on them. And there is a good reason for this – in fact, there are a number of good reasons. Here's a look at the benefits of UPVC doors if you are considering changing yours.
Top of the list for these doors are the security features they have. Many have metal cores that make them much tougher than the average wooden door. Glazing in them will be double glazing so this also makes it tougher than single pane glass. And most of the doors will come with multiple points locking systems which are the British Standard – this can even get you a discount on your home insurance if you have the same locks on your windows.
Another big benefit of these doors is that they help improve the energy efficiency of your home. By creating a strong, well-insulated and draft proofed entrance to your home, you will lose less heat in the winter. This means it can cost less to heat your home. They also help reduce condensation in the property when the right ventilation is used.
UPVC doors are durable and need very little maintenance – there's no need to regularly paint or stain them. Simple washing with a cloth and warm soapy water will return them to top condition. And they come in a wide variety of colours and styles to pair with any type of window.
Contact PT Glazing to discuss your uPVC door requirements.

BOSTON (CBS) — Sunday night didn't offer much in the way of celebrations for the Patriots. Nevertheless, it was a milestone evening for running back James White.
White picked up 79 yards on 14 carries, and he also gained 98 yards with two touchdowns on eight receptions. The 177 yards from scrimmage made for a single-game career high for White, the 79 rushing yards also made for a single-game career high, and White's 32-yard run in the third quarter was a career long.
White also recorded his 300th reception during the game. He reached that mark in his 74th career game, making him the sixth-fastest running back in history to record his 300th reception.
Le'Veon Bell, 60
Reggie Bush, 61
Roger Craig, 65
LaDainian Tomlinson, 67
James Wilder, 68
James White 74
Ray Rice, 74
Marcus Allen, 75
Tiki Barber, 77
Chuck Foreman, 77
Brian Westbrook, 77
This was a night when the broadcast included the following graphic, long before White had his mammoth statistical night:
Those numbers are now up to 305 receptions, 2,676 yards, and 22 touchdowns.
Obviously, such achievements would have been worth celebrating had the Patriots pulled out a victory. Still, with an all-important December and January on the horizon, the milestone is a reminder of just how valuable the two-time Super Bowl champion can be.

Donald Trump,"Hillary 'Guilty as Hell,'Should Not Have Been Allowed to Run
US President Elect Donald Trump says Democrats should not be "complaining" about the FBI's handling of Hillary Clinton because she is "Guilty as Hell" and should not have been allowed to run for President in the 1st place.
Donald Trump said Friday in a pair of early-morning Tweets, that the FBI was "very nice to her."
Donald Trump's comments on Twitter Friday morning come in the wake of Thursday's announcement that the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General is launching an investigation into the department's and FBI Director James Comey's handling of the long-running probe into the illegal e-Mail server matter.
Director Comey announced findings of his probe on 5 July 2016, publicly stating that Mrs. Clinton and her top aides were "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information" but recommending no criminal charges.
Hillary Clinton's aides have blamed the FBI for influencing voters.
This matter is open and running.
Have a terrific weekend.

Have a guilt-free slice of this KETO chocolate cake! It follows the Keto principal of low-carb and high-fat. In one serving, there are only 3.4gms of sugar, and that's not from refined sugars, and a total of 10.9gms of carbohydrates.
Please allow 2-3 days lead time when ordering this cake as it is only baked on request.
Danielle took a while to come up with this recipe. Her aim was to make a cake as delicious as Izzy's chocolate cake which we have in store every day, and this cake hits the mark. This dark chocolate cake is covered with a chocolate cream cheese frosting.
What makes it low-carb? Danielle has used a combination of alternate sugars, Stevia, Xylitol, and Erythritol, and has used almond, linseed and coconut flours. So yes, it's also gluten-free, however, we are not a gluten-free kitchen and cross-contamination may occur. The cake is dairy free, however, the cream cheese frosting is not.
Why the extra expense? Alternate sugars cost 2500% more than regular white sugar. And alternate flours, like almond flour, cost 1270% more than regular cake flour.
The 10" cake serves approximately 12-14 people. The petite 6" cake serves 6-7 people. It depends on the size of your slice. With this cake you can make the slices smaller because of the higher protein content (21.2gms in a serving) - it fills you up faster.
If this treat is being shipped using our Nationwide service, it will be freshly baked, frozen and shipped with ice packs to ensure a safe journey. The dark chocolate decoration will come in a separate box so it can be put on before serving.
Please keep in mind our cakes are all hand-made and will vary in appearance, including the decoration. We do have chocolate birthday disks available for an additional charge.
The nutrition panel provided is for a 10" Chocolate Cake. The nutritional panel excludes the decorative dark chocolate squares.
Ingredients: Almond, linseed and coconut flours, baking powder, salt, whole eggs, dark cocoa, canola oil, xanthan gum, almond milk, Xylitol blend (Stevia, Xylitol, and Erythritol), vanilla extract, coffee, water, and cream cheese.
Allergens: Dairy and whole eggs. This cake is gluten-free, however, we are not a gluten-free kitchen and cross-contamination may occur

Available as hardback and eBook.This book, first published in 1931, shows in a simple, sound and lucid manner how the genius of two poets (Omar Khayyam and FitzGerald) brought together by the genius of an Orientalist (Professor Cowell) culminated in a very strange, very beautiful and profound English poem. This book is concerned with the genuineness of the verses ascribed to Omar Khayyam, and consists of a comparison of the original Arabic, a paraphrase, and FitzGerald's first and fourth editions.

Omariana started in April 1998 as a newsletter, initially issued on paper, and later on as an e-mail newsbulletin. After a couple of years it seemed a logical step to turn it into a weblog, and this is what you are reading now.
However, my impression today is that Omariana might be more effective when you get the news at home in stead of going out to get it when you don't even know if there is anything new.
So after a break of a couple of years I have decided to start this email newsletter again. It will appear once or twice a year, or whenever there is something important to inform you about, and it will exist in addition to the Omariana weblog. Please subscribe by using the subscription form.
One of the more intriguing entries in Potter's Bibliography of the rubáiyát is number 139, the 'Cyclostyle Edition'. There are several aspects that draw attention to this edition.
First there is the title 'Cyclostyle edition', suggesting an early adaptation of advanced office technology: cyclostyles were only invented in the early 1880's. Second there appears to exist a number of versions of this edition, published from 1885 unto 1899 in various forms and formats, under varying titles and printed in varying numbers of copies.
A more fascinating aspect however is the interference with Holyoak's work by Macmillan, the London publisher who had acquired the copyrights of FitzGerald's work. They regarded Holyoak's printings as a serious threat to their business and threatened him with a court action. The affair drew the attention of G.J. Holyoake who came to his namesake's defence.
Finally there is the nature of Holyoak's editions, which are issued in a limited number of copies, and being handwritten and printed with the cyclostyle, they were probably regarded as somewhat ephemeral printings. The various editions differ in a number of details such as misspellings or choice of paper. If copies have survived outside libraries, they are probably very rare.
The cyclostyle editions of the rubáiyát have never drawn too much attention, and until recently hardly anything was known about them. Only when a proof print copy was offered for sale a few years ago, which was purchased by a private collector, a search was initiated by John Drew and myself to find out more about the editions and the actors involved. These efforts resulted eventually in the discovery in the USA of a copy of the original "Book Store Monthly" edition of April 1885.
An extra feature to the story was to find out how Holyoak's selection had its roots in an earlier pirate Rubáiyát: the so called Madras edition of 1862. John Drew has published about this before.
The story of this highly interesting piece of rubáiyát history is now recorded, together with documents and publications, in a pamphlet called The erring finger writes. The Leicester pirate cyclostyles of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, by Jos Coumans and John Drew (Cambridge Poetry Workshop, 2015). ISBN 978-1-871214-26-0.
A copy can be ordered at £ 6,00 from firstname.lastname@example.com or € 7,50 from firstname.lastname@example.com.
21st Editions, considered the purveyors of some of the finest books in the world, recently announced a new Deluxe title combining Edward Fitzgerald's first edition (1859) of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" with photographs by Steve McCurry in platinum.
It is a limited edition of fifty copies, with an introduction by John Stauffer, containing 9 bound and 3 free-standing platinum prints, each signed.
Steve McCurry is an American editorial photographer best known for his 1984 photograph "Afghan Girl" which originally appeared in National Geographic.

TDCHR January 22, 2009
Much discussion was held on probable Federal mass transit stimulus funding. HRT is projected to get in the neighborhood of $24 million and CEO Michael Townes assured the Commission that the conditions for keeping the funding could easily be met.
Proposed budget cuts by the Commonwealth of Virginia would mean a reduction of $1.4 million in funding this fiscal year, and $1.2 million next year. However, lower fuel costs mean that HRT can probably absorb this year's reductions without having to cut service.
The contract to study light rail for Virginia Beach is slated to be awarded at the March TDCHR meeting, and the study will take 18 months to complete. That means that even if City Council wanted to place the matter on the ballot, the facts would not be ready for a referendum any earlier than November, 2011. Randy Wright of Norfolk repeatedly expressed his unhappiness with the Virginia Beach City Council leaning towards punting the issue to referendum.
A couple changes were made with Norfolk light rail construction. First, 240 sunken piles in Broad Creek will have to be removed. Second, the Downtown Norfolk Council will do the signage to alleviate business disruptions at a cost of $50,000, while the original bid for the task was $165,000.
The humorous moment of the day: Commissioners were given the ridership figures for November. HRT's User Citizen Advisory Committee (UCAC), meeting in the same room the night before, had been given the December numbers. So the UCAC was given more current information than the TDCHR?!?

No posting about the UCAC meeting?
I was just on the 961 the other day and it seems HRT's MAX wifi works(?)

By the time I would sanitize the UCAC post of everything that was hypersensitive, it would be a short, boring post. Therefore, I decided not to post on it, especially with the number of recent transit posts I already have. I don't want this becoming an exclusively transit blog.
The MAX WiFi is still in the testing phase. However, it is already installed on most buses.

Jessica, I still cover HRT all the time, I just moved my blog to a new home (Henry's link is updated).
Even I don't post about the UCAC meeting due to the sensitive nature of some of the tings we discussed.
As for MAX Wi-Fi, HRT will issue a press release when it's fully ready. For now, it's still being tested.

I want to give my son full
responsibility credit for today's cow encounter. This afternoon I asked him to grab a couple of books to read before naptime. He made his selection from our shelf of French children's literature and the first book he picked was this one:
A cow named Mimosa goes through quite a life-changing transformation in this story. As the other farm animals keep making fun of her (yes, even the pig laughs at her, how shameful!), she can't help but cry her eyes out, attracting the attention of a fairy named Coquillette:
Have you ever seen a sadder cow, drowning herself in a puddle of tears? After finding what had to be the happiest cow on earth the other day, this is quite the opposite!
Fairy Coquillette gives Mimosa the opportunity to become whatever she wants, and she requests to be turned into a witch so that she can torture the other animals. Well, if you know anything about cows, you can guess Mimosa can't find enough nasty attitude within her to complete her transformation. Instead the fairy helps her become the Fairy Mimosa, maker of cakes and pastries:
Wow, a cow that makes not only yummy milk, but also the chocolate chip cookies to go with it? Where do I sign up?
Bon appetit!

While business headlines seem to be dominated by Google and Apple , four stocks in the S&P Technology sector have led the rally in the past two months, with the average of their gains beating the overall sector by nearly 3:1.
At the forefront of the rally in technology, Advanced Micro Devices has more than doubled in price since early November 2009, posting a gain of 111%. Semiconductor makers Micron Technology , NVIDIA , and Sandisk are also at the top of the list, averaging gains of 75% during the same period.
Compared to the S&P Tech sector, which is up 13% in the past two months, the PHLX Semiconductor Index --a price weighted average of the performance of 19 companies involved in manufacturing semiconductors-- has advanced 24%.
If the uptrend in technology continues to lead the stock market in 2010, some of these stocks may continue to benefit from the rally. Sandisk, for example, was upgraded yesterday by Caris & Company and is trading at a new 52-week high in today's session, while Advanced Micro Devices and Micron Technology are trading near multi-year highs.
At the current levels, however, all four stocks are trading the farthest apart from their 50-day moving averages among their peers, potentially setting the way for some profit-taking in the near future. In fact, Miller Tabak issued a note yesterday downgrading Semi's and Components to hold.
Advanced Micro Devices
52-week high: $10.04
Percent above its 50-day MA: 31%
Percent gain in the past two months: 111%
Micron Technology

What is Moscato Wine?
Moscato is the Italian name for the Muscat family of grapes. Muscat grapes are numerous; the most notable varietals include Moscato Giallo, Muscat of Alexandria, Orange Muscat as well as Red, White and Brown Frontignan varietals. Muscat varietals are one of the worlds most commonly grown grapes. They are not only used in the production of wine but also for the production of raisins.
Moscato refers to the Italian style of using Moscato Giallo, creating a lightly sparkling wine that adheres to strict alcohol content and production techniques. Generally served as a dessert style, though can be used as an aperitif. In Australia, the Moscato name is used for lighter, sweeter wines that have lower alcohol content.
Common Moscato Wine characteristics
Though sometimes regarded as an overly sweet wine, Moscato has the sweetness of fruit rather than that of lollies. Pretty, floral characters abound with rose petal and rose water dominating the nose. Turkish delight is often present as well as wild strawberries on occasion. Moscato wines are characterised by 5-10% alcohol in Australia, making them a lighter-bodied option. Moscato varietal wines are also characterised with very fine, light bubbles also known as the 'bead.'
Pairing food with Moscato Wine
Great with light desserts and fruit platters, citrus based sweets and sorbet. Moscato is the Italian word for Muscat, an ancient group of grape varietals of various colours and characteristics. Asti is sweet but is acidic enough for pairing with salads and spicy Asian food.
Notable Moscato Wine regions
Asti, Italy
Asti or Asti Spumante is a sparkling Moscato from the Asti region of Italy. It is made only using Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grapes also known as Muscato Bianco. Moscato d'Asti is a classic wine, characterised by delightful floral aromas and subtle hints of peach, apricot and fresh grape juice. It has been Italy's most famous and most popular wines for some time.
In Australia, winemakers in the Margaret River and Great Southern regions of Western Australia Alkoomi and Evans & Tate produce a range of Moscato. Victorian winemakers such Wirra Wirra and Chapel Hill produce excellent examples of Australian Moscato as do Serafino, Pirramimma and Two Hands as well as Yalumba and Angove.
The future of Moscato Wine
There is growing popular for Moscato, Asti Spumante in particular, in America. US winemakers are engaging celebrities to develop Moscato wines. As Australian and Californian wine market trends often inform each other, the opportunities for winemakers to drive a greater uptake of Australian Moscato both domestically and internationally are vast.

Freeze frame / Still image / Tableau
Freeze frames are an excellent way of exploring an idea, emotion or theme. Professor Jonathan Neelands describes this as the way that groups, '...devise an image using their bodies to crystallise a moment, idea or theme.'
Imagine having the ability to push the pause button on life - what would you see?
Try this:
Each group has devised a role play about a group of pupils receiving their final report cards from a teacher. Freeze frames can be used to explore the reaction of a pupil the moment the envelope is opened. Their facial expression, body language, gesture, use of space and levels etc. can be analysed by an audience. This can then be contrasted to a pupil in the same still image who has not yet received their report. Speech and movement can then continue. This freeze frame can allow for dramatic focus on the emotions the pupils' are feeling.
Or this:
Each group has devised a scene of a family having dinner. Perhaps one of the children has just returned from his first day at a new school, the mother thinks her child might be using drugs, and the father had an important meeting with a new client.
The use of freeze frames here allows for an exploration what we say might not be the same as how we feel; a character's inner thoughts; and the foreshadowing of a future event.
Genuine emotions!

I have been so honored in the past ten days to enrich, expand and deepen my relationships with several people and to examine the self created borders between them and myself.(NOTE: borders are not boundaries – which are healthy and necessary.) Finding limits in these borders I have been using my yoga and my recovery programs I have been able to SEE them and SEE myself and SEE how these entities interweave and stand apart.
I am recovering from co-dependency, the left-overs from having grown up in an alcoholic home, dancing with the shadows of mental illness, and from my own addictive behavior. The struggle to find the sweet and embraceable parts of my inner self has been (to use an over-worked but applicable phrase) FIERCE. It has been a fierce and tenacious enterprise. I can't give up; I have to trust and believe that the inner goodness is there and worthy.
The trick is not to let set-backs floor you. Let me state that another way: the trick is not to let set-backs floor ME. I look at the wisdom and brightness of students and feel concern that I am not offering "sufficient". I spend time with my teachers and mentors and think "I will never get there" (wherever "there" is!) And those are all limiting beliefs, beliefs that harken back to the 6th and 7th Steps of my recovery programs. My defects and short comings are characteristics that are born of an ego deflation process that is an ego problem in reverse. Rather than the too LARGE feeling exceptionally adept and competent; when tired, fearful, or out of balance I feel less than and isolated. By feeling apart from and small I am cutting myself off from the yummy goodness inside myself. That veil of self absorption is anathema to connection. Connection is crucial, both to stay in the middle of the herd and to remain in community with others, higher power, and true self.
Back to the steps, back to the mat, back to the cushion.
Regroup, reframe and reconnect. Breathe. Take the deliciousness of my own experience, listen without judgement (of others OR self), integrate and inform my impressions without criticism and enjoy the sweet and colorful salad of life. This is the application of the principles in all my affairs. In the teaching and the learning, at home and on the road, in the classroom and the conference room, in the car and on the trail, listen with an open heart and the unhealthy bondage will change to healthy bonds.

Haagse Bos (The Hague Forest) 01 (2014)
A pastel drawing of The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) in quite some impressionistic moves. I always am fascinated by the sun shimmering through vegetation, deforming and reshaping it. From Monet I learnt at a very young age that in shades there are lots of colours to be found.
I often walk through The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) at The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands where I live near by. When the sun sets sometimes it sets the trees on fire so it seems. I like the appearance of the sun deforming treescapes and rendering leafs to yellow and orange hues because of the strong razor backlighting. Next to this I stronly thought of impressionists like Monet, telling there are lots of colours to be found in shadows.
