Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.
On Super Bowl Sunday, I wasn't at all focused on the game. First, I'm not a fan of the teams playing, and second, I'm not really into sports.
What I am is a fan of all the yummy food that people eat on Super Bowl Sunday, but it's just not in the cards for this year. I've got some serious goals in sight, so I decided to just forego celebrations this year. After all, me and a crock of queso are a dangerous combination. Instead, I cleaned out (more) closets, did all the laundry, and went to bed with the sweet satisfaction of knowing that I didn't overeat. Hallelujah!
I also went to bed that night knowing that my tastebuds were beyond happy, and excited about sharing this recipe with all of y'all.
This dish BEYOND hit the spot. Whether Super Bowl Sunday or an average Tuesday, I highly recommend trying it out. Spicy, flavorful, and creative, it's reminiscent of nachos. You'll find it hard to believe that this dish started its day as the Turkey Burger.
Mini Mexican Stuffed Peppers
Serves 1
3/4 cup cauliflower crumbles
2 Tbsp. diced red onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
cooking spray
6 sweet mini bell peppers, halved
1 tsp. taco or fajita seasoning
2 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
2 tsp. hot sauce (more or less to taste)
jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
cilantro, chopped
scallions, sliced
grape tomatoes, diced
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Remove the turkey burger from the packaging, separating it from the bun. Place on a microwave safe plate and cook for 90 seconds. Set bun aside and enjoy as toast or make into croutons for a side salad.
3. Place your turkey burger in a food processor to crumble. Pulse until a fine taco meat texture.
4. Prepare a skillet with cooking spray at medium heat. Add turkey burger, garlic, onion, and cauliflower. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. Mexican seasoning (I used Penzey's Fajita Seasoning) and water. Stir to combine and saute until the water evaporates. Taste the mixture to make sure it has enough flavor; adjust as needed.
5. Slice your peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs of the peppers.
6. Fill each pepper with the taco mixture and move to a baking sheet prepared with cooking spray. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until peppers are tender.
7. Meanwhile, combine the Greek yogurt and hot sauce in a small bowl. Transfer to a small plastic snack bag for drizzling. Taste to assure it has the right level of zip! Add more hot sauce if needed.
8. Prepare your toppings while your peppers cook.
9. Remote the peppers from the pan and to a serving plate. Top each one with a jalapeño, sprinkling with tomatoes and scallions. Drizzle with Greek yogurt mixture and garnish with cilantro.
10. Serve and enjoy!

What is it about a new year that just inspires such hope and so many plans to do and be better?
I don't know, but I'll have what it's having and fall suite to all that resolution making like I always do.
But instead of all those, let's face it, empty promises I make to myself year in and year out, I'm going to make it pretty easy on myself this year, kind of like I did over on Ink for Blood, where I was very, very proud to report I kept a resolution for the first time ever and wrote something for myself every single day of 2013.
Here on Run, Nikki, Run, losing weight is always the numero uno, the modus operandi, the Grand Poohbah of Things to Do. You get it, I get it (oh, do I ever!), so I'm pretty sick of saying I need to shed pounds … and then crickets. I lose my willpower, I get sick, life hands me a lemon, etc. and so forth — life just happens, just as it does for everyone, even those annoying people who I always seem to see running as I'm out huffing and puffing wherever I walk. They make time for exercise, no matter what, so who the hell am I to not do the same?
So to myself in 2014, I vow to do (at least) 20 minutes of movement every day. That could be 20 minutes of walking, which obviously is pretty doable here in New York since we walk everywhere. It could be 20 minutes of ab exercises or one of the old standby circuits (crunches, pushups, squats + lunges) I used to do. Hell, it could even be 20 minutes of dancing around the house to my iPod (clearly only when the Girl Child and fella are at school and work to save myself some embarrassment). The point is to just move. I am not going to make any changes to myself or my health while I sit here feeling sorry for how bad I sometimes feel about myself.
And I'm not going to make any changes to myself without eating better, so for Christmas, I asked my mom to get us a NutriBullet. I had my first green smoothie off a truck a while back and have become kind of obsessed with them since, so I'm excited to start making them at home. A bunch of my friends on Facebook use similar gadgets to make them, so I look forward to drinking these super-healthy concoctions for breakfast and lunch several times a week and swapping some recipes and talking smoothies with them.
That's it. Just these two simple things. If I can't do them, then I should just go pound sand or something, right?
Maybe don't answer that.
But I think these two simple things can lead to big, big change. Lost pounds, a healthier and happier me — and us, to be honest, because you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be dragging the fella into this and know he'll thank me later — a more comfortable airplane ride to Ireland for our family vacay in August and obviously more energy to lift all those pints of Guinness that are on the menu for that trip.
Let's do this, 2014. I'm not getting any younger, but I sure as hell can start taking care of this body as a way to thank it for bringing me this far.
Happy New Year!

It's true, they were out of business for a while. After five consistent albums, and without any song released since 2013, the indie favorites Frightened Rabbit finally released a new one with the help of the The National. The very fortunate part is that it's a pretty good one. They literally Get Out strong, with the so very characteristic voice of the Scott Hutchison and a powerful and solid folk-rock surroundings and a encouraging similarity to some of the beautiful pieces produced by The Antlers. But the good news are not over, our meeting of the day is said to be a glimpse into the sixth album entitled Painting Of A Panic Attack to be released right in the turning of the next month. We hope you all enjoy it, with the proper video and everything.
Annika Grace – The Chase
This is a song where relationships become boring and disposable, where people don't give enough importance to love and others feelings. Overall, this is some kind of a love song.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is soliciting comments on NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide (Draft) SP 1800-7, Situational Awareness for Electric Utilities. To improve the security of information and operational technology, including industrial control systems, energy companies need mechanisms to capture, transmit, analyze and store real-time or near-real-time data from these networks and systems. With such mechanisms in place, energy providers can more readily detect and remediate anomalous conditions, investigate the chain of events that led to the anomalies, and share findings with other energy companies. Obtaining real-time and near-real-time data from networks also has the benefit of helping to demonstrate compliance with information security standards.

What can you do to personally upgrade to Human Being: magnificent, cutting edge, inclusive? Learn from the Bateleur Eagle…
I stopped in a public library yesterday and got a book, called Upgrade Me, by Brian Clegg.
Here is the "flap" copy: Biologically, human beings haven't changed in 100,000 years – but thanks to our amazing brains we can upgrade ourselves to add capabilities that took other creatures millions of years to evolve. Thanks to this "unnatural" evolution we are already Human 2.0. In the effort to stay alive, reproduce and make more of brains, we have transformed ourselves. Now with a better understanding of the mechanisms of the body, cloning, gene therapy, bionics, and other technologies, our rate of change is getting ever faster. This process of upgrading is nothing new. It has been around for millennia, and it raises some provocative questions. What will the future hold? Will our drive to upgrade continue to give positive benefits, or will it result in destruction? Where is our evolutionary survival heading? Sure to cause much debate, UPGRADE ME is science journalist Brian Clegg's ambitious and brilliant account of humanity's need to upgrade
I haven't read it yet, so don't rush and buy it: it may be good, or not, I'll let you know.
One thing is sure: replacing narrow personal or group "needs" with wider, more inclusive way of looking at things is the biggest missing, and it hasn't gotten better in these 100,000 years, despite all the pretense of love, light, and whatever preaching gurus and devotees. Or maybe because of it? 1
Now, Rob Brezsny has a love, light, whatever bent, but under it there is a shrewd transformational "guru" that, in every little article he forces you to either move your glance, or expand your cone of vision: all serving the exact same goal: making people, often, aware of what they are blind to: the world is bigger than your personal or group concerns, and acting on the personal or group concerns destroys your world, but unless you practice this shift in view, you can't even see it.
It is true on the level of the individual, the group, government, race, and even humanity. We are all myopic, no matter how far we can see with technology: it is not what we could see, but what we don't even look at.
If you have been reading Rob Brezsny for as long as I have, (13 years) you'll notice that he has about 30 different ways to alter your glance, and then he rotates them, 52 times a year.
Most of you will rush to read YOUR horoscope for the week below, but the ones that are interested in being guided to become human beings, Human 3.0 we could say, are going to look for the guidance in each horoscope, and experience what I am saying: the widening or moving or a combination of those of the glance: each and every one.
Horoscope signs, just like soul corrections, have one particular pivoting point issue, and Rob Brezsny uses that to shift around. Example: Pisces is airy-fairy, and has a hard time committing to anything physical, fixed… just read the Pisces horoscope: the recommendation is to attempt to fix the glance, for a few minutes anyway, so they can learn to look at things straight and be with it, and maybe commit to some accomplishment… revolutionary for a Pisces.
Sometimes it is looking at things that have always been one thing differently, so you can see beyond them, see what they could be had they not been fixated, explained, and stripped of beauty by Human 2.0, like sin, like temptation, like what is love, what is gratitude, what is devotion.
I know it is a lot of reading, but don't just read: muse about it, feel it, allow it to guide you. You'll be surprised that you'll end up liberated to move towards Human 3.0, the Upgraded Human, to desire and receive the DNA upgrade.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the dreams you're having at night, Capricorn, I bet you're traveling through remote landscapes in all kinds of weather. Maybe you're recreating the voyage of the Polynesian sailors who crossed hundreds of miles of Pacific Ocean to find Hawaii 1,500 years ago. Or maybe you're hiking through the Darkhad Valley, where the Mongolian steppe meets Siberia's vast forests. It's possible you're visiting places where your ancestors lived or you're migrating to the first human settlement on Mars in the 22nd century. What do dreams like this mean? I think you're trying to blow your own mind. Your deep self and your higher wisdom are conspiring to flood you with new ways of seeing reality.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It wouldn't be too extreme for you to kiss the ground that has been walked on by people you care about deeply. And it wouldn't be too crazy to give your special allies the best gifts ever, or compose love letters to them, or demonstrate in dramatic fashion how amazed you are by the beautiful truths about who they really are. This is a unique moment in your cycle, Aquarius — a time when it is crucial for you to express gratitude, devotion, and even reverence for those who have helped you see what it means to be fully alive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In a letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway described his vision of paradise. It would have a trout stream that no one but him was permitted to fish in. He'd own two houses, one for his wife and children and one for his nine beautiful mistresses. There'd be a church where he could regularly confess his sins, and he'd have great seats at an arena where bull fights took place. From my perspective, this is a pretty vulgar version of paradise, but who am I to judge? I suggest you draw inspiration from Hemingway as you come up with your own earthy, gritty, funky fantasy of paradise. It's an excellent time for you to get down to earth about your high ideals and dreamy hopes.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sometimes I think too fast and too much. My logic gets sterile. My ideas become jagged and tangled. When this happens, I head off to Turtle Back Hill for a hike through the saltwater marsh. The trail loops around on itself, and I arrive back where I started in about 15 minutes. Sometimes I keep walking, circumambulating 2 four or five times. Going in circles like this seems to help me knit together my fragmented thoughts. Often, by the time I'm finished, my mind feels unified. I recommend you find your own version of this ritual, Aries. From what I can tell, you need to get rounder and softer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the mid-19th century, French art was dominated by the government-sponsored Salon, whose conservative policies thwarted upcoming new trends like Impressionism. One anti-authoritarian painter who rebelled was Camille Pissarro. "What is the best way to further the evolution of French art?" he was asked. "Burn down the Louvre," he replied. The Louvre, as you may know, was and still is a major art museum in Paris. Judging from your current astrological omens, I surmise that you might want to make a symbolic statement equivalent to Pissarro's. It's time for you to graduate from traditions that no longer feed you so you can freely seek out new teachers and influences.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil," is a request that Christians make of God when they say the Lord's Prayer. If we define "temptation" as an attraction to things that feel good even though they're bad for you, this part of the prayer is perfectly reasonable. But what if "temptation" is given a different interpretation? What if it means an attraction to something that feels pleasurable and will ultimately be healthy for you even though it initially causes disruptions? I suggest you consider experimenting with this alternative definition, Gemini. For now, whatever leads you into temptation could possibly deliver you from evil.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): "You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks," said the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. But you don't have to worry about that outcome, Cancerian. The storm might howl and surge, but it will ultimately pass. And although your tree may bend pretty far, it will not break. Two weeks from now, you won't be mourning your losses, but rather celebrating your flexibility and resilience. Congratulations in advance!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It's a perfect time to start reclaiming some of the superpowers you had when you were a child. What's that you say? You didn't have any superpowers? That's not true. Before you entered adolescence, you could see things and know things and feel things that were off-limits, even unknown, to most adults. You possessed a capacity to love the world with wild purity. Your innocence allowed you to be in close touch with the intelligence of animals and the spirits of the ancestors. Nature was so vividly alive to you that you could hear its songs. Smells were more intense. The dreams you had at night were exciting and consoling. Your ability to read people's real energy — and not be fooled by their social masks — was strong. Remember?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not all darkness is bad. You know that. Sometimes you need to escape from the bright lights. It can be restorative to sit quietly in the pitch blackness and drink in the mystery of the Great Unknown. The same is true for silence and stillness and aloneness. Now and then you've got to retreat into their protective sanctuary. Dreaming big empty thoughts in the tranquil depths can heal you and recharge you. The magic moment has arrived for this kind of rejuvenation, Virgo.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the movie *Clueless,* the character played by Alicia Silverstone describes someone as a "full-on Monet." What she means is that the person in question is like a painting by the French Impressionist artist Claude Monet. "From far away, it's OK," says Silverstone. "But up close, it's a big old mess." You may still be at the far-away point in your evaluation of a certain situation in your own life, Libra. It appears interesting, even attractive, from a distance. When you draw nearer, though, you may find problems. That doesn't necessarily mean you should abandon it altogether. Maybe you can fix the mess so it's as engaging up-close as it is from far away.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your power animal for the coming months is the Bateleur eagle of Africa. In the course of searching for its meals, it covers about 250 square miles every day. It thinks big. It has a spacious scope. I hope you get inspired by its example, Scorpio. In 2014, I'd love to see you enlarge the territory where you go hunting for what you want. Fate will respond favorably if you expand your ideas about how to gather the best allies and resources. As for this week, I suggest you get very specific as you identify the goals you will pursue in the coming months by exploring farther and wider.
Homework: spot three different ways YOU could expand your vision, move your glance, or look beyond the limited meanings, so you can start to be ready for the Upgrade. Comment below if you feel generous today.
- For example, positive thinking doesn't allow you to look at the world it is, you are not allowed to look at darkness, evil, deception, lies, suffering, pain, illness, etc. the way they are, you need to put on the rose colored glasses to distort reality, rendering you stupid, blind, and a pretender. It is like going backwards in evolution.
- walk around something

"In our personal ambitions, we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else we all go down, as one people."
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
The emergence of a broad-based and assertive middle class in Pakistan, which is progressive, liberal and upwardly mobile and perceived universally as harbinger of a bright future is a good omen for the country. This vital stratum of any society, which embodies the aspirations and ideals of a nation, is rather a difficult entity to define, but is certainly linked to the acquisition of relative affluence. The essential presence of expendable money and the resultant attainment of purchasing power is only one facet of this societal phenomenon. To many sociologists, the middle class is more closely associated with the pursuit of higher education, association with liberalism, demand for a fair society and expectations for transparent governance. Drawing parallel with universal models, the rise of Pakistani middle class raises expectations as an engine of positive change and most would find their promise irresistible, yet there are bound to be detractors. A counter thesis by a writer-cum-analyst challenges the notion by postulating that Pakistan would not be able to benefit from the rising middle class values, because, according to the writer's contention, this powerful driver of social change has been perverted and polluted by ills of the State/society.
The hearts and minds get attracted to where they are appreciated and, perhaps, this was a major reason that the analyst selected an Indian magazine, Economic and Political Weekly, for the propagation of her difficult to articulate thesis. The motivation for writer to take up the issue, as she explained in her paper, was the publication of three books that predicted a bright future for Pakistan, based on the rise of a strident and expanding Pakistani middle class; Maleeha Lodhi's Pakistan: Beyond the Crisis State; Anatol Lieven's Pakistan: A Hard Country and Javed Jabbar's Pakistan - Unique Origins; Unique Destiny. She picked her pen to propound a counter narrative to the sanguinary central theme of the aforementioned books, denigrating the potential of the Pakistani middle class and negating that it would open doors to socio-political and socio-economic modernity in Pakistan.
Her essay, which seeks to castigate and berate the Pakistani middle class, is no objective, naturally flowing articulation of logical thought process or based on any genuine research work leading to the advancement of a rational argument. Detached from the ground reality, it comes across as rather a skewed piece of scholarship that rational readership would find difficult to follow through. To her, the rise of a tainted middle class in Pakistan would not usher in liberal, progressive modernity per se, but would move forward on a pattern structured along the axes of neo-liberal nationalism and rightwing radical nationalism. According to her, the meeting point of these two trajectories has turned Pakistan into a "hybrid theocratic State, which encapsulates a mix of economic neo-liberalism, pockets of social liberalism, formal theocracy and larger spaces experiencing informal theocracy"; ideas that are hard to translate into comprehensible version of the contemporary state of affairs.
The writer's resultant assessment reflects Pakistan's middle class in an execrable state. She asserts that the expansion of middle class in Pakistan does not necessarily mean political development, because it has "always supported and benefited from authoritarianism". She even goes to the extent of attributing the rise of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf, as a plan for "wrangling political control through the army's help." Even the media and the legal community do not escape the negative swathe of her broad-brush; "the media and judiciary both have authoritarian, center right nationalist and even latent radical perspectives," she observes. She challenges the widely held belief that the military as an institution has emerged as a representative of progressive, middle class ethos bearing the capacity of playing a catalyst role, critical for change. She even attributes the wave of radicalism, as part of the "evolving politics and psychology of the middle class."
In playing out her wishful thinking, she seems to be absolutely out of touch with the obtaining realities in Pakistan where the rise and unprecedented expansion of the middle class is blazing new trails towards a bright future. According to the ADB Report on Asia's rising middle class, the Pakistani middle class has grown to 40 percent of the population, significantly larger than India's 25 percent of the population pie; outstripping its neighbor 36.5 percent to 12.8 percent on a comparative scale of growth since 1990. As a mark of upwardly mobile consumerism, the chief of Nestle Pakistan finds the local market's per capita consumption of world's largest packaged food products twice as much as they have it in India or China. The Economic Survey of Pakistan 2010-2011 reported that the first nine months of the year under review saw production of television sets jump to 28.6 percent and automobile production increase by 14.6 percent.
The materialist side of the upward mobility is duplicated in the field of positive, progressive and liberal trends displayed by the Pakistani population. According to Nicholas D. Kristof's report, A Girl, a School and Hope, published in the New York Times, members of Pakistan's emerging middle class are 'stepping up to the plate'. "They (Pakistani middle class) are enraged at the terrorists, who have been tearing apart their country, they are appalled by corruption and illiteracy, and they want peace so that their children can become educated and live a better life," he writes. The most significant development remains the focus on education that has emerged as the major game changer, whereby one-fourth of Pakistani children attend private schools, despite high cost fee structures compared to public schools associated with low standard of academic accomplishments. The Pakistani educated youth driven by an urge to change the status quo, are getting ready to use the ballot to achieve this end. The right to vote was hardly, if ever, exercised by their elders with such dedication and sense of purpose.
The media has found a liberty of action comparable to any country in the world. The judiciary is independent and undaunted and resultantly the misuse of power, corruption and poor governance resorted to by the system stands exposed and is bound to regress. There is a lot of ground to make up and the naysayers may continue with their witches brew of concocted and negative predictions, but the Pakistani middle class is on the rise and the future looks bright - God willing!

I love Sangria and make it often for gatherings. I decided to try this recipe for a change. Sadly it did Not live up to the hype. I used only 1/4 cup of sugar and it was still much too sweet. Everyone said it was very good but what else are guests going to say. I have another Sangria recipe that has orange juice as an ingredient (I use Simply Orange with Mango) and it is much better. The addition of the soda (I used diet 7Up) was too much sweetness all on it's own. The next time I make my Sangria (I got it from a gourmet chef), I will take a picture of it and submit it for consideration on this website.

I made this for a brunch with 3 ladies and had enough left over for a small family BBQ that night. Everyone loved it, and I caught them sucking on the fruit when their glasses were empty! I served it in crystal red wine goblets (my mom always told me EVERYTHING tastes better in a pretty glass!). I followed the recipe except I cut the sugar in half. Next time I will only use 1/4 cup. The 7-up (I used diet) give it a lot of sweetness. A full cup of sugar would be way too much, IMHO. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
Jun 23, 2013
Made this for a BBQ last night and everyone loved it. I used the cheap Walmart merlot and cut the sugar in half since other reviewers had recommended that. Perfect!
Feb 6, 2013
Very good sangria. I added red grapes and cherries instead of peaches and strawberries. Best made the night before. Add the citrus fruit the next morning.
Sep 8, 2012
I have made sangria many times but all my friends said this was the best recipe ever!
Jul 7, 2012
Tasted nice, I halved the sugar. It really packed a punch.
May 7, 2012
I make this for my Cinco de Mayo party and it was very good. I cut the amount of sugar in half and still found it very sweet. Next time, I may leave it out entirely. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!
Apr 24, 2012
This was excellent. I had only had Sangria once before and it was ok. We made this at home and loved it. We will definately be making this again. We used Citron orange liqueur by Patron. Also we could not find decent looking peaches so we used granny smith green apple in it's place.
Jun 2, 2011
Awesome! I used triple sec too instead of orange liqueur. Delish!
May 29, 2011
Yum! I have been searching for a good recipe for Sangria, and now I have finally found it. Fruity, sweet and delicious. You probably could make this with a white wine as well. Leave it to the good folks at Taste of Home for another winner of a recipe!

Momentum is a great thing. At it's height, it makes you unstoppable. It's the times when everything seems to come together effortlessly and your home business just gets better and better.
Unfortunately, keeping momentum isn't always easy.
A lot of us find that coming up with ideas or getting stuck in a project are great fun. But staying dedicated once the going gets tough isn't always so much fun.
So how do you kick-start your momentum when things slow down?
Here are a few ideas to create momentum for your home business:
Idea #1 – Remind Yourself Why
This may seem obvious but sometimes just taking a step back and remembering why you're doing this is a great starting place for kick-start your momentum.
Focus on how you felt when you started the project or business, and remind yourself of your goals and desires.
Idea #2 – Keep Track of Your Goals
If you haven't done so already, writing your goals down will help you focus and staying energized about your business.
We all need something to work towards and having clear goals will help make it easier to stay focused.
You may want to update your goals regularly and make adjustments as necessary.
Idea #3 – Take a Break Once in a While
This may seem like a contradiction, but taking time off to recharge your batteries can make a big difference to your energy levels.
A little time off completely away from work (even if it's just a few hours) can help you refocus and come back energized and refocused once again.
Taking a little time off may also help you organize your thoughts and you may even find solutions and new ideas you hadn't thought of previously.
At the very least, it will give you a nice break and help you recharge your batteries.
Idea #4 – Create Visuals For Your Home Office
Decorate your office with visuals that keep you inspired. You may want to add a few pictures of your family members or perhaps a few inspirational quotes and pictures.
Creating a goals board with your written goals and pictures to represent those goals may also be very helpful.
Staying focused isn't always easy, especially when you work from home, but it is possible.
These ideas will help you get the creative juices flowing and create momentum once again.

Campaign details
Brand: DFS
Advertiser: DFS
Agency: krow communications; MediaCom
To hit growth targets, DFS needed to attract a more affluent sofa shopper by broadening its appeal. It was critical, however, to address the balance between the competing needs of short-term sales driving activity and long-term brand health goals of increasing brand consideration and love. A multi-year strategy positioned DFS as a more realistic, revealing, popular, and likeable brand without downplaying the price offers it was famous for. Advertising campaigns featuring animated characters celebrated the production and quality testing of its sofas, with British Heart Foundation and Team GB partnerships used to build affinity. Following the activity, there was a 28% increase in consideration and penetration amongst the more affluent sofa shopper rose by 32%. The approach delivered an estimated £109m of incremental sales over six years and a 64% increase in profit ROI.

WA Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Input -> MPEG Audio Decoder
Under "Title/Tags" tab, change to whatever you want.
Wen you check Winamp, it does not reflect the changes.

@Fabian - simply select all in playlist and go to misc>misc>read extended info on selected after you change something to refresh the playlist - it won't change unless you do that - it also helps to refresh your library (just run the scan again) but that won't refresh your playlist untill u play that file again after the ML scan.
@EGG - How do i change my scaling options?!? My options there are greyed out and checkmarked as locked too... Any ideas how to ungrey them?!?

Time and spectrum analyzer bug
The time will go to zero a few seconds before the song is and the the spectrum analyzer will staop working. It seems to work again when the next song plays but will do the same thing again at the end of that song. Seems to do it on every song I play. Using RC8. Thanks and keep up the great work. Love it.

Hey READ THE FIRST POST!! There is a specific way to report a bug this has been set out by DJ Egg and Dazog.
You have not given you system specs or steps to reproduce. That said, checkto see if the cross fader is on, and possibly causeing your problem.

stereo is indicated as mono
5 RC8 - I select a mp3 file - winamp starts up and in this case, only at program startup, he plays (shows) that the song is in stereo mode. But selecting the next song in the LB, winamp switches to mono mode, though the songs are definitely in stereo! My impression is that it is not only shown, he plays it really in mono… Is that possible? What a shit! – Only *.wav files are indicated correctly.

Winamp5.0 Rc8 (fresh install)
Win XP Pro SP1
Athlon 1900+
ATI allinwonder 7500 pro (latest drivers)
512mb DDR ram
Audigy Mp3+
FFDshow (for avi)
Elecard (for mpeg)
Yo Egg! I got the temporary scale to work but Winamp still won't resize the windows to my video's resolution. It is the same with mpeg, mpeg2, and avi. I checked and it's the same on classic skins and the modern. I even uninstalled\reinstalled winamp5.0rc8 to see if my overwriting of beta2 was the prob - Nope!
For the record, I have everyting cept "disable when...not active" and "remove full screen on stop" turned on in my vid options. Turning on or off aspect ratio options dosnt' help. And Like i said above "reset window scale..." or "all windows rememeber...", "Locked" scaling or "temporary" - My video window still won't resize to the res of my vid...
Also Egg are u checking for this bug in rc8 or rc9? Cause if ur using 9 (lucky bastard...) it may already be fixed and I'll just shut up!
On my other bug - turning off "enable tooltips" in Modern Skins>General - Seems to fix the mouseovers for repeat, random, eq, and the color theme buttons in winshade mode on the modern skin. So I'm sure there is a bug in there somewhere where the mouseover is being killed by the tooltips.

(Not sure this is a bug)
When I try to change equilazer settings it takes several seconds to apply changes... Same thing occurs in Winamp 2.9. (Do this with Direct Sound or Wave out plug-in)
If I well remember, this bug don't occurs in older version of Winamp 2 on my computer...

EQ change time is directly related to buffer length.
eg. a buffer length in WaveOut or DirectSound Output of 4000ms
will mean that it takes 4 seconds for EQ changes to take effect.
Simple solution? Lower your main buffer value.

Re: time display
What file format? mp3 or other? (eg. wav or 3rd-party plugin)
(cannot reproduce with mp3, ogg, aac)
Re: title display
Are the files stored in the library database?
Is "use library data for Winamp title formatting" checked in Prefs -> Library?
If so, then you need to refresh the library first
(library button -> rescan media folders in background).
Also, have you tried refreshing the playlist display after updating the tags?
(playlist -> misc button -> misc -> read extended info on selection)

ID3 editor is going crazy
Its ignoring my id3 tags and just stripping them away and only using the track title not artist - track title.. no I have not changed the order in the MPEG audio decoder. and the tags do stay intact when checked. Update does nothing to remedy and on some files it relabel's the duration to som'n stupid like I had a 5302:32 rage against the machine..

YES. the media library option of "Use Library data for Winamp Title-Formating" was causing the changing of titles and times.. BUT WHY!? Shouldn't the library use what the tag provides over the filename.. and the Rage mp3 @ 92kbs time goes back to 5378:10 when the option is on and 5:22 when disabled.

*AVS overlay bug*
In the Winamp AVS Editor window, under settings / display, when the overlay is checked it displays full screen out to my TV. All is fine you might say but it is a frozen image. If I display the AVS in full screen on the computer, the out put to TV is fine. Movie files and internet TV in a window on the computer displays in full screen with no problems on the TV. In the previous alpha version I was using I could minimize Winamp and the AVS would still be danceing full screen on my TV. I have uninstalled Winamp and my vid drivers, reinstalled and no difference. Other than the still image, the output to the desktop and all other features for AVS overlay seems fine.
Motherboard: Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (BIOS rev. 1014)
CPU: Intel 2.4C(HT)
RAM: 2x 512 Samsung DDR400 (1GB total)
Video: ATI All In Wonder 9600 Pro 128mb using 3.9 drivers (offical AIW OpenGL fixed drivers)
OS: Windows Media Center (or XP Pro with Microsoft's own built in media program that replaces what your tv/video card already comes with version).
Forgot to add that I was using alpha 2 (if I rember corectly) and now RC8

Its not really bugs, but "feature request" that i'll be posting here. I would like the "Jump to" (J) to be added to the global hotkeys. (excellent idea btw, those hotkeys. i was using a 3rd party plugin so far to do it and now i can do it with winamp by default :P).
Also, i would like to see Internet Explorer integration gone from the ML, or at least an option to turn it off. I cant stand IE, its the worst browser ever. If i could uninstall it, it wouldnt have been on my pc for a loooong time... My bro had to reinstall windows not so long ago because of IE :S
I also got something that might be either a winamp bug or a skin bug: i cant seem to select MMD3 as skin anymore (other WA3 skins work fine). when i installed it it worked, and i tried some other skins after that and now everytime i select it as skin winamp crashes. (when i select it from a WA2 skin, the playlist stays when the rest disappears. just thought i'd mention it in case it helps track the bug). I'm using RC8 on windows 2000 SP4 and the error is a Floating-point division by zero.
[Edit:] almost forgot.. the cd plugin doesnt work. if i put a .cda "file" in my PL it wont play and the duration that is shown in the PL is wrong. (like 45 minutes for a 3-4 minute track or so). I installed the "CD Reader v1.95" plugin that used to work fine on 2.95, but now the Spectrum Analyser loses track of the song after a while. it just shows that 'searching' kinda animation until the end of the track.
btw, the spectrum analyser is a bit weird anyway in RC8, cuz it seems to be half a second off whatever i play...
i dont know if any of this was in older versions, cuz RC8 is the first WA5 i'm using.

Hi folks!
I just discovered a new bug. I'm using WinXP Prof., Intel Celeron 950 and Winamp 5 RC8 with default modern skin. I opened the Preferences\Modern Skins menu, and i switch to the Current Skin view. Then, i click on another window (what is in maximized state), for example on an Internet Explorer window, and then on the taskbar i click on Winamp, but Winamp doesn't restore to front as active app.

System Specs:
Winamp full 5.0 rc8
WindowsXP SP1 - Professional
Intel Celeron 1,1GHz
256mb SDRAM
16mb SiS630 Shared Graphics memory (which leaves 240 mb RAM actually)
SIS 7018 onboard sound chip 16 bit
Winamp5 was a fresh install no 3rd party plugins
While Winamp main window is open it uses about 10 megs of RAM (Sometimes more sometimes less), if it is minimized it uses around 3 megs ram. so far so good. but if i do minimize while playlist window is openned too, the ram usage begins at 3 megs, but grows with time. i waited till it got 12 megs (still minimized) than restorod the winamp window it dropped to 10 megs. minimized againe it dropped to 3 megs again, but was growing with time, again. this does not happen if the playlist window is closed when i minimize winamp.
ps: the time span is not seconds, but minutes, it took me 10 minutes to reach that 12 megs ram, but since it wouldnt stop growing i decided to report it.

I have noticed the same thing, but I have yet to see it get higher than 16MB of ram. And thats because of the modern skins. Also AVS uses a fare amount of RAM.
Why make something idiot proof?? Someone will only make a better idiot!

Bug discovered... (mpeg files tag)
Hello, a friend just told me about winamp 5 and told me where to download it, well first of all, nice job! Second, I usually set custom tags format in Winamp 2.91:
%1 - %3 - %a - %2
(Artist - Album - Track - Title)
But right now if I set it as that (in mpeg decoder settings) tracks titles doesn't even change, if I set it to do not read tags, it reads them (at the default Artist - Title).
So it always read up as %1 - %2...
Else that bug, it's perfect!!!!

Known Limitation of the Winamp internal API. Try using the Advanced title formating instead.

Playlist, Media library, and Adv Title bug
Winamp5.0 Rc8 (fresh install)
Modern Skin
Win XP Pro SP1
P2 333MHz (don't laugh)
384 MB Ram
SB Live 5.1
I don't think this has been reported but whenever I have winamp running with playlist in windowshade mode the CPU utilization is 100%. If the playlist is opened, utilization is ~5%. This happens even when I don't even have a song playing. The vis, song ticker, beat vis, and notification options are off. Also checked to make sure I don't have gen_mircex.dll anywhere on my system.
When grabbing the scrollbar in the media library, and dragging it to the very top or bottom, the very top or bottom is not reached. You can still click the up or down arrows to move further.
And one more issue. This may sound like it's been mention before but really don't this so. I have an mp3 (not encoded by me) that is named "sc.mp3" in my "temp" folder. My advance title formatting is set to "['['%album%']' ][* %tracknumber% * ][%artist% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))" Whenever that song is playing, the title shows, "[temp] Sammi Cheng - SC" even though the title, and the artist are in the ID3 tag (tested both/either ID3V1 and v2) With the ID3 tags off, I get "[temp] SC". I've tried reading extended info, drag and dropping in the song again, read metadata on load several times without any help. This affects only a few of my songs that I know of, other songs display fine. I don't know if it was the way it was encoded or anything. Let me know if you want me to send your the file to test with.
ID3 fields (filled)
title: Don't Know Love
artist: Sammi Cheng

I can't reproduce #1 or #2
#3. If the file is stored in the library
and was stored before you edited the id3 tags
then locate it in: Local Media -> Audio,
right click -> edit selected items
and change the library metadata according to the tags.
Looks like the library metadata has: album="temp", title="sc"
(this will have been guessed based on folder/filename, before you edited the tags)
This can happen if "use library data for title formatting" is checked in:
Prefs -> Library
and you haven't rescanned the folders in the library for changes to take effect.

RE: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....71#post1182471
#3. Actually, it's not in my library yet, nor is it in a folder that gets automatically scanned. I just tried disabling "use library data for title formatting" like you suggested and rebuilt my library but that didn't help.
#1. Just to be clear, if the playlist is in windowshade mode utilization is 80%-100%. When the playlist is opened (ie. all the songs in the list are visable) utilization is 0, when no songs are playing.

I wrote yesterday about a restore bug with Winamp. I wanted to add, this happens only with the Modern skin(Modern Skins\Current Skin tab,...). I tried with MMD3, and everything worked.

@ Joneleth
Yes, I've reproduced the bug.
If this isn't fixed for 5.0, then all minor glitches like this will be dealt with for 5.01 and beyond.
@ lordsky
3. Hmm, that sounds a bit strange.
Can you possibly upload the mp3 to some webspace (zip it up first to prevent streaming) and provide a link?
At first, I thought it might have a Lyrics3 tag, but ID3v2 overrides Lyrics3,
and I don't think Winamp recognizes APE v2.0 tags ???
Alas, I still can't reproduce problems 1 & 2 Anyone else?

Lots of ID3v2 tags not recognized
When I add my collection of 4300 files to the medialibrary, about one third of them show up with no ID3 information.
I use only mp3 v2 tags and most of them are version 2.4 (eac, lame).
I've checked the flag to read metadata tags on import and its correctly set to on. Manually viewing the file properties show a file which has no tag information (which it certainly has).

Oops.... I overlooked that item in the wishlist...
thanks, Wanne.
PS for people with the same problem, you can use the excellent freeware id3-tagit to mass convert 2.4 to 2.3

WinAMP 5 RC8 (fresh install), Win2k, P3-Celeron 633MHz, 160Mb RAM, some kind of onboard soundcard...
When playing video (.avi) file with more than one sound track - both of them are playing and when paused second one keeps playing (video & first one are paused). All other video players are working ok.
Oh, just a wish: full international support someday for song info/titles (UTF8 or something like this) if unicode-enabled fonts are selected for main window. And maybe unicode-capable input controls on NT systems...

Bank Accounts
NRI & Demat Accounts
According to the Reserve Bank of India, an Indian citizen who stays abroad for employment/carrying on
business or vocation outside India or stays abroad under circumstances indicating an intention for an
uncertain period of stay abroad is a non-resident. Persons who have been posted in UN organizations
and officials deputed abroad by Central/State Governments and Public Sector Undertakings on
temporary assignments are also treated as non-residents.
if he at any time held an Indian passport or if his parents or grandparents are citizens of India,as
defined by the Constitution of India.
A wife of a citizen of India or of a person of Indian origin is also deemed to be of Indian origin even
though she may be of non-Indian parentage. For the purpose of the facility of opening and
maintenance of various types of bank accounts and making investment in shares and securities in India,
a foreign citizen (not being a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh) is deemed to be a person of Indian
origin if :
A spouse (not being a citizen of Bangladesh or Pakistan or Sri Lanka) of an Indian citizen or of a person
of Indian origin is also treated as a person of Indian origin for the above purpose provided the bank
accounts are opened or investments in shares and securities in India are made by such persons jointly
with their NRI spouses only.
An Overseas Corporate Body is predominantly owned by individuals of Indian nationality or origin
resident outside India and includes overseas companies, partnership firms, societies and other corporate
bodies which are owned, directly or indirectly, to the extent of atleast 60% by individuals of Indian
nationality or origin resident outside India as also overseas trusts in which atleast 60% of the beneficial
interest is irrevocably held by such persons. Such ownership interest should be actually be held by
them and not in the capacity of nominees. The concerned OCB is required to initially furnish a
certificate from an overseas auditor/chartered accountant/certified public accountant in form OAC
where the ownership/beneficial interest is directly held by NRIs and in form OAC 1 where it is held
indirectly by NRIs and further that such ownership interest is actually held by them and not in the
capacity as nominees. Thereafter, a simple certificate signed by the Managing Director of the OCB or
Chief Executive Officer of the OCB.
There are no restrictions in investing into the equity segments of the secondary
markets,provided the transactions are under the PIS Scheme
(barring a few sectors like print media).
Currently the NRIs are not allowed to take positions/hedge/trade in the
Derivatives Markets – encompassing Stock Futures, Index Futures,
and also restricted to buy/sell Call and Put Options.
Generally for secondary market operations (buying/selling shares through a broker on a stock exchange),
the NRI needs to have a RBI Permission from the Reserve Bank of India.
This RBI Permission is valid for a period of five years and the Permission is given on repatriation / non-repatriation basis.
The NRI/OCB should obtain a RBI Permission from the Reserve Bank of India before buying/selling shares
under the portfolio management scheme (buying/selling on the secondary markets through the stock
exchanges). This approval can be obtained on repatriation basis and non-repatriation basis. The
Approval is valid for a period of 5 years and can be further renewed for another 5 years at a time. This
approval is provided by the bank on behalf of the RBI
The Application is to be submitted to the designated bank in one of the prescribed forms, i.e.
NRC/NRI/RPC/RPI. The RBI Permission can be directly obtained from the applicant's designated bank.
Each NRI/OCB has to select one branch for of the bank for this purpose.
Only with the RBI Permission, should the NRI/OCB buy shares from the secondary market. When the
NRI/OCB desires to transfer the shares purchased, the RBI Permission number and date is required to be
mentioned on the transfer deed (in case of physical shares). In case of demat, the Depository
Participant should be informed about grant of the RBI Permission so future credits into the demat
account can be effected without any problem. The RBI Permission is also required for repatriation of
funds, deposit of securities into the client's demat account, etc.
The Reserve Bank has authorized a few branches of each bank to conduct the business under Portfolio
Investment Scheme on behalf of NRIs. These branches are the main branches of major commercial
banks located close to the stock exchange/s. NRIs have to route their applications through any of the
designated bank branches who have authorization from Reserve Bank.
No. Each NRI has to select one branch for this purpose for investment on repatriation/non-repatriation basis.
As per regulations, NRIs are permitted to do delivery-based transactions only. It is mandatory to take delivery of shares purchased and give delivery of shares sold.
No, currently the RBI does not permit the NRIs to trade/hedge or hold any position in any of the
derivative products pertaining to the underlying equity, viz: NRIs are restricted to buy/sell stock
futures, index futures, call & put options.
Yes, investments can be either repatriable or non-repatriable in nature.
If the original purchase is made on a repatriable basis and such investment are made out of funds from
NRE/FCNR account or by means of remittance from abroad, then the sale proceeds, net of taxes, can
be repatriated. For investments made on a repatriable basis, an NRI is required to open an NRE account
with the designated bank as the repatriable amount will be credited to his NRE account.
In case investments are made on a non-repatriation basis, sale proceeds can be credited only to the
NRO account held with the designated bank branch.
Therefore, an NRI interested in making investments on both repatriation and non-repatriation basis will
have to open an NRE as well as an NRO account with the designated bank branch.
A corporate benefit, in the form of dividend, interest, rights, bonus etc., arising out of investment in
securities,is repatriable if the investment is made on a repatriable basis. Similarly, if the corporate
benefit results from investment made on non-repatriable basis cannot be repatriated.
(Discontinued effective April 1, 2002. All existing NRSR Fixed Deposit accounts can be continued until
maturity and on maturity be transferred to your NRO account. All NRNR Fixed Deposits can be
continued till maturity and on maturity be transferred to NRE account. All existing NRSR Savings and
Current Accounts have to be converted to NRO accounts not later than September 30, 2002.)
The NRE Account can be maintained in current/savings/fixed deposits form. The balances held in the
NRE Account can be repatriated abroad freely. Income from interest on funds held in the NRE account is
exempted from Income-Tax.
The NRO Account can be maintained in current/savings/fixed deposits form. Funds held in this account
cannot be remitted abroad but have to be used for local payments in rupees. The debits for local
payments are allowed freely from this account, representing legitimate dues of the account holder or
proceeds of remittances received from abroad through banking channels are permitted to be credited
freely. Debits to the accounts for the purpose of investments in India and credits representing sale
proceeds of investments are allowed subject to the account holder giving an undertaking at the time of
opening the account that such investments/disinvestments would be covered either by the general or
special permission of the Reserve Bank. Funds due to the non-resident accountholder which do not
qualify under the Exchange Control regulations, for remittance outside India are required to be credited
to the NRO account.
back.The operation of the account should not result in the account holder making available foreign
exchange to any person resident in India against reimbursement in rupees or in anyother manner.
This account can be maintained in foreign currency with authorised dealers in India. The FCNR account
can be maintained in Pound Sterling, US Dollar, Deutsche Mark (upto Dec 2001), Euro and Japanese Yen.
The account can only be maintained in the form of term deposits for a fixed period ranging from 6 months
upto 3 years, depending upon the choice of the NRI. Income from interest on funds held in the NRE account
is exempted from Income-Tax.
The Reserve Bank of India has defined ceilings on investments made by NRIs/OCBs/PIOs and FIIs in Indian companies.
Individually, NRIs/OCBs can invest up to 5% of the paid-up share capital (equity as well as preference capital)/each
series of convertible debentures of a company. For the purpose of this ceiling, investment under the Portfolio
Investment Scheme on repatriation as well as non-repatriation basis is clubbed together.
There is an overall ceiling of 10% of paid-up equity share capital of the company/paid-up value of each series of
convertible debentures for purchase by NRIs/OCBs. The overall ceiling can be raised to 24% subject to approval the general
body passing a resolution to that effect. However, there is no ceiling for investment in domestic Mutual Funds.
Shares/convertible debentures acquired through IPO/Private Placement are excluded for the purpose of
above limits as the onus of allotting the shares in the specified limits rests with the issuing company.
The respective designated bank branches monitor limits of individual holdings by NRIs/OCBs.
Limits on aggregate holdings by NRIs/OCBs are monitored by the RBI.
However, the NRI/OCB should also take precautions that it does not purchase stocks in excess of the prescribed limits.
Once the aggregate holding of NRIs/OCBs builds up or is about to build up to the maximum prescribed ceiling,
RBI puts the concerned stock under the Restrict List/Watch List.
RBI publishes these lists from time to time.
For effective monitoring of foreign investment ceiling limits, the Reserve Bank has fixed cut-off points that are
two percentage points lower than the actual ceilings.
The cut-off point, for instance, is fixed at 8% for companies in which NRIs/OCBs/PIOs can invest up to 10%
of the company's paid up capital.
Once the aggregate net purchases reach the cut-off point, the RBI cautions all designated bank branches
so as not to purchase any more equity shares of the respective company on behalf of NRIs/OCBs/PIOs
without prior approval of the RBI. Further, on receipt of such proposals from designated bank branches,
the Reserve Bank gives clearances on a first-come-first served basis till such investments in companies reach 10/24% limit.
Once the ceiling limit is reached, the RBI advises all designated bank branches to stop purchases on behalf of their NRIs/OCBs/PIOs clients.
Additionally, the RBI informs the general public about the 'caution' and the 'stop purchase' in these companies through a press release.
Is regularised by liquidating the excess portion of such holding which is in excess of the prescribed limit.
Restricted Stocks / Details of Companies, Ceiling wise:
When the NRI/OCB buys or sells any shares, the photocopy of the contract note is required to be submitted to the designated bank,
who in turn reports the transaction to the RBI.
The RBI Reporting is clearly the client's responsibility.
The NRI/OCB should also keep with himself all contract notes and details of the cheques/payments given or received.
Sale/maturity proceeds can be remitted abroad (through the NRE Account) if the original investment was made out of funds remitted from abroad or funds in NRE/FCNR accounts.
Otherwise they will have to be credited to the NRO account.
Before transferring the proceeds into the NRE Account, the designated bank would require proof of purchase (contract note) + bank statement where the debit was made.
The bank checks whether payment was made from the NRE/foreign remittances.
Together with these documents, the copy of the sale contract and the sale proceeds also have to be submitted to the designated bank.
The bank will then calculate long term or short term capital gains tax, deduct the tax payable together with the bank commission and remit the net proceeds to the NRE Account.
The designated banks do not give benefits of indexation.
If benefits of indexation has to be claimed then the NRI would have to claim the same withteh Tax authority by filing its return.
For sales of primary market shares, the NRI/OCB would have to submit the proof of purchase & proof that the underlying shares sold were primary market shares together with the
sales contract note and cheque would be required to be submitted to the designated bank if the amount is to be transferred into the NRE account.
Crediting the sales proceeds are relatively easy into the NRO account, as the banks do not insist on purchase records since the money lying into the NRO account is not repatriable.
However, different banks may adopt different practises for crediting amounts into the NRO accounts.
However, investments made directly into the primary market subscriptions do not require RBI Approvals as the company offering the primary issue takes a blanket approval from the
Reserve Bank for the Non-Residents.
For this reason, it is advisable to keep the shares purchased from the secondary market and the shares subscribed from the primary market into two
separate demat (shares held in electronic mode) accounts so that upon sale of secondary market or primary market shares can be easily distinguished.
Also, it is imperative that the NRI keeps an exhaustive record of all his purchases as the same would be required when the shares are to be sold.
Such records come handy when the designated bank of the non-resident has to deduct long term/short capital gain before the amount can be accepted
into the appropriate (NRE/NRO) bank account.However, please consult your own Depository Participant, as the DP policies may differ from one DP to another.
The NRI's are freely permitted to invest their funds in Government securities or Units of UTI through authorized dealers.
Units can also be purchased directly from UTI. Besides, NRI's can also make investments in National Savings Certificates.
NRI's are permitted to make direct investments in proprietary/partnership concerns in India as also in shares/debentures of Indian Companies.
They are also permitted to make portfolio investments (purchase of securities through stock exchanges). This facility is granted both on repatriation and non-repatriation basis.
NRI's can make investments in new issues of shares/convertible debentures of Indian companies under direct investment schemes.
They can also invest in schemes of domestic Mutual Funds floated by public/private sector institutions/companies.
NRI's are not required to apply for RBI Permission to invest in such new issues (primary market offering) or units of Mutual Funds.
The concerned company/mutual fund files a declaration in Form ISD together with the other required documents to RBI within 30 days from the date of the issue.
The RBI has granted general permission to domestic mutual funds to issue units/similar instruments to NRI's/OCB's on both repatriation and non-repatriation basis.
The NRIs can maintain bank accounts in rupees as well as in foreign currency. Accounts in foreign currency can be maintained with authorised dealers only.
The different types of Rupee Accounts that an NRI can operate are:
The RBI upon specific application, permit an FII to open a foreign Currency
Account and/or a Non-resident Rupee Account with a designated branch
of an authorised dealer for routing the receipt of and payment for transactions
relating to purchases/sales,subject to the following:
he designated branch of an authorised dealer may allow remittance of net sale proceeds (net of taxes) or credit the net amount of sale proceeds to the foreign currency account or a Non-resident Rupee Account of the FII.
The RBI may permit a domestic asset management company or portfolio manager who is registered with Sebi as a foreign institutional investor for managing the funds of a sub-account, to make investment under the Scheme on behalf of:
NRIs can open a demat account with any Depositary Participant of NSDL/CDSL in India.
The NRI needs to mention the type ('NRI' as compared to 'Resident') and the sub-type ('Repatriable or 'Non-Repatriable') in the account opening form. There is a new category of NRI Accounts recently introduced, as 'DR' Account,
which is used for the purpose of 2 Way Fungibility in GDR/ADR.
No permission is required from RBI to open a demat account.
Holding securities in demat only constitutes change in form and does not need any special permission.
However, the RBI Permission is required by the DP to receive shares purchased from the secondary markets.
An NRI must open separate demat accounts for holding 'repatriable' and 'non-repatriable' securities.
As per FEMA rules, NRI must regularize his/her holdings to reflect change of status – in this case bring them to 'Non-Resident' status.
For this, NRI must submit (if not already submitted to the issuing company earlier) a letter addressed to the issuing company along with the
Demat Request Form stating change of status and giving details of foreign address.
On becoming an NRI, a new depositary account with appropriate NRI status is to be opened and all the balances held in account with 'Resident status should be transferred to the account with NRI status.
On becoming an Indian resident, a new depository account with appropriate status -'Resident' in this case is to be opened and all the balances held in account with
'Non-Resident' status should be transferred to 'Resident' status.
The issuing company is required to issue shares to NRIs on the basis of specific or
general permission from GoI/RBI. Therefore, individual NRI need not obtain any
permission. However, the NRI must carefully read the new issue application form
before making required purchases. In other words, the NRI can purchase the
shares even if the NRI does not have the RBI Permission.
Yes. For the purpose of determining ownership of holding, the first holder is taken
into account. Hence, even though other joint holders maybe persons resident
in India, the sale proceeds of such securities can be repatriated in case the first
holder is permitted to repatriate funds.
