Calorie counts in college dining halls
Over on the Academy of Eating Disorders listserv, there's been a discussion going about whether it's good (or even just OK) to post calorie counts for food served on campus. I've listened with interest, and a growing sense of frustration and horror, as both researchers and clinicians debate the pros and cons.
What most of them seem to be missing--or deliberately downplaying--is the damage these calorie listings can do, not just for people with eating disorders but for everyone. And especially women. About three-quarters of women say their eating is disordered in some way, and my personal experience (for myself and watching my friends and acquaintances) certainly bears this out.
It gets right up my nose to hear the sometimes pompous arguments made by academics and researchers on an issue like this. Statements like this one: "Awareness doesn't equal obsession." Um, maybe not if you're a 40-year-old male doctor who's never had an eating issue. If you're a woman in today's culture? I beg to differ. Many years ago when I "did" Weight Watchers I was aware that eating on the WW meal plan simply replaced one food issue with another. Instead of constant anxiety about how much and what I was eating and whether I was gaining or losing weight, I became a good little obsessive weigher of foods and follower of instructions. In nine months on the program I never deviated from it once. Not even for a bite. This was a testament not to my willpower or moral virtue but to the deep level of obsession that being hyper-aware of my calorie intake inspired in me.
I'm quite sure I'm not alone in this.
Which is why I was happy to see this article, written by a senior at Yale, arguing against listing calorie counts for food served on campus.
In theory, maybe "awareness" of calories isn't a bad thing. In reality, I can't see the upside.


Welcome to #TheWokeFolk!
In this months fist installment of The Tikisa Series, we are honored to highlight Baltimore activist Kayla Ingram. Kayla Ingram is a M.A. Social Design Candidate at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD, and affiliate of the grass roots organization Baltimore Bloc.
In a exclusive interview with TyreeBP.com, Kayla shares the motivation behind City Bloc's student-led direct action at City Hall in Baltimore, her experience being arrested alongside her peers, the growing movement for Black Lives in Baltimore, and how, ultimately, her faith is what inspires her to continue to protest. Read her riveting story below!
Hi Kayla, give us some background about who you are:
My name is Kayla Joy Ingram. I am a M.A. Social Design Candidate at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. I am also an affiliate and advocate of Baltimore Bloc.
What inspired the decision to shut down City Hall and your desire to participate in something so audacious?
This action was inspired and led by Makayla Gilliam-Price, a student at Baltimore City College and founding member of City Block, which is the youth (but equally awe-inspiring) version of the grassroots collective, Baltimore Bloc.
Upon moving back to the country after a year-stint in Central America, my burden for my people grew immensely as I became conscious of the systemic bondage that plagues us. As my passion for Christ grew I realized that I serve an audacious God who requires me to live the Gospel out in tangible ways. For me, this action and any other action that I will be involved in will ultimately give way to the poor feeling love, the oppressed experiencing liberation, and the broken healed.
How would you describe the social climate of Baltimore right now? Has relations changed/ strained between the community and police since the death of Freddie Gray?
Since the death of Freddie Gray, the social climate in my city has remained stagnant. The uprising still continues because the toxic relationships between the community, activists, and the Baltimore City Police Department has remained the same in lieu of Freddie Gray’s death.
Can you describe the first several hours of the action being inside of Baltimore’s City Hall?
For the first several hours of the action (occupying city hall after the hearing), we were very hopeful. We were told that we would get what we came for–an open conversation with Commissioner Kevin Davis, where we could discuss our “rules of engagement” and our three demands. So, naturally, we waited and the opportunity to engage in conversation with him never came. We tweeted and flooded our social media accounts in hopes that our live tweeting and periscope streams would not only keep the public in the know, but would also keep the BPD and the other powers at play responsible for their direct and indirect actions.
After several hours, the authorities decided to close off all access to food, restrooms, and electricity? When you noticed this, what was the response?
Once we knew that they weren’t allowing us access to fundamental human needs and electricity we continued to grow closer in community. We had a poetry slam, expressing our qualms, got to know one another and even took turns napping as we anticipated occupying City Hall as long as it took for our voices to be heard.
Can you recall those moments as police officers were approaching you with zip ties to arrest you. What were you all chanting?
We were not only physically linked arm-in-arm, but we all were united on one mind and one accord. We chanted Assata Shakur, reminding ourselves of our commitment to fight for our liberation and that we had nothing to lose but the systemic chains that bind us. As the police approached, we banned more tightly together declaring to the BDP and all who watched, “United we stand, divided we fall.” And we did just that. We stood united until the end and had to forcefully be divided.
Describe how you felt when you were put in the back of a police van and later arrived to the holding area.
This was a time a reflection for me. As I tried to maneuver my tightly cuffed hands, I couldn’t help but to take in my surroundings. The dried droplets of splattered, dried blood on the ceiling and door of my paddy wagon caused my mind to race and I couldn’t help but wonder whose blood it was. I anxiously counted each detained body as it took well over an hour and a half for everyone to come outside of city hall.
Were you ever struck with any fear or trepidation about the sit-in?
I was never fearful for my own safety.
...What was it like being in jail for nearly 24 hours?
Everything about Central Bookings is cold. For the nearly hour-long wait, some of my fellow activists stood outside to the dealings with personnel inside. From the time we arrived we were told that our sit-in flustered city officials, the BPD and jail employees alike. Having been disconnected from social media for many hours we had little knowledge of how much traction our action received. We moved from cell to cell. The process to see one commissioner is daunting. We had to see two. I ate enough mystery bologna meat to last me a lifetime. Exhaustion and thirst for water that didn’t come out of the same system as our silver communal toilet were recurring thoughts. It was an emotional rollercoaster. There were times of laughter as we interacted with some of our fellow inmates who told us their life stories and applauded us for our bravery. There were times of sadness as we worried about the wellbeing of our brothers who were across the hall and Makayla (the leader of the action), who was the only arrested female minor and alone.
I eventually was left alone for hours as all of my other counterparts and cell mates were released. I spent the remaining few hours with my eyes closed singing praise and worship songs. As I waited for my second commissioner hearing, the guards would walk by and ask me if I was Kayla Ingram and laugh. One eventually told me that their phone lines were blowing up with requests and demands that I be released. Not only that, but a crowd of familiar faces had gathered outside of Central Bookings cheering and chanting in solidarity.
As a millennial, what are your feelings about this youth-led movement? Do you think it’s important for other young people get involved with the movement for Black Lives?
This movement led by us is imperative. If we look at history, youth have been at the forefront of leading the charge for social justice. Youth involvement is not only important, but necessary for sustainable change.
What does #BlackLivesMatter mean to you?
Black lives matter essentially means that I matter. My predecessors, the people I am passionate about, and the people that the majority deem as unlovely are vital fibers to the fabric of our communities and our world.From this experience, I am now certain that our voices have validity and have earth-shattering potential to create platforms for change. [And] Until there is sustainable change, I will not be silent and I will act.
What words do you have for other Black millennials who are living inside this historic moment beside you?
Now is the time to rewrite our history. Pick up a pen and be relentless in creating the change you want to see.
Ase! We salute you and wish you nothing the best. #Tikisa

BANGALORE: Karnataka Chief Minister Jagdish Shettar on Tuesday requested the Centre to ensure the passage of the Constitutional amendment bill in the Parliament to accord special status to Hyderabad-Karnatak region.
He met union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and wrote a letter to the Prime Minister. In the letter, he stated: I would like to request you to kindly move the Bill -- (Constitution of India (118 thamendment bill) 2012 -- proposing to insert Article 371-J conferring special status to the H-K region in its existing form and get it passed in the Parliament in the current session itself.''
Prior to this, the CM held consultations with the union ministers from the state, members of Parliament and some ministers of Karnataka. The three union ministers from the State - petroleum minister M Veerappa Moily, labour and employment minister M Mallikarjun Kharge and minortiy welfare minister K Rehman Khan - were among the MPs who attended the meeting. The unanimous opinion of the meeting was that the long pressing demand of the people of the region needs to be met immediately,'' Shettar told reporters.
The confusion and controversy erupted after Karnataka government sought a modification in the bill, which was under final consideration of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs. The state wanted it on the lines of Telangana (Article 371-D) and requested the Centre to drop the provisions regarding constitution of Regional Boards. The bill enabled the President to empower the governor to establish a separate development board for H-K region, with the provision that a report on the working of the board will be placed each year before the provincial assembly.
Following the state's request, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs headed by BJP MP M Venkaiah Naidu referred the bill to the ministry of home affairs and sought a modified bill after consultation with the Karnataka government.
This infuriated the people and opposition parties, who have been waiting for decades for the special status. The demands of the people is legitimate due to the backwardness of the region due to historical reasons. Fresh consultation is not possible now,'' Moily told reporters after the meeting.
However, Naidu didn't seem a happy man. As a Member of Parliament, I am not in favor of the governor's role. We are witnessing frictions between the government and the governors. The governors are being misused. You cannot have a governor over and above the elected government,'' he told reporters after the meeting.

I shot my second Run For Your Lives Zombie 5k Race last weekend. Now that I’m in Boston, I was able to shoot the New England installment of the race, which was at Amesbury Sports Park in Amesbury, Massachusetts.
I didn’t think it was possible, but the scene at this race was even more absurd and absolutely ridiculous than it was at the Baltimore race. You can see some of my shots from that race here.
I’m amazed at how much people love to take on the zombie persona, and at how well some of them do it. I don’t think I’d ever volunteer to get covered in fake blood and sit in the woods screaming at people for the entire day, but clearly there’s some appeal there that I’m missing out on.
Nevertheless, I was highly entertained all day, and hundreds of zombies and 10,000 racers make for some good photography. Take a look at this photo gallery on the Run For Your Lives Facebook page to see my whole take from the day. It’s got over 1,000 “likes” and hundreds of comments from zombies and runners alike.
Here were some that I enjoyed. As always, click to enlarge for the full effect. I’m still thinking about it, but the first photo here might have quickly become one of my all-time favorites.
I shot the Goucher College Opera Workshop’s performance of “The Mikado” or “The Town Of Titipu” last night. Throughout my years at Goucher, I photographed plenty of these performances, but this was the first that I’ve shot since graduating.
It was nice to be back, and as I watched and made pictures, I kept thinking about those four years. Had I been shooting this last year, I would have gone straight to the library or the newspaper office after it was over for a late night/early morning full of work. It’s quite a difference a year makes.
This production was full of opportunities for great pictures. I haven’t shot anything that was this visually exciting in awhile, so this was a nice jolt of energy that my shooting has needed of late.
For current Goucher Students in the thick of the end of semester work, I strongly suggest you take a two hour study break tonight and go watch ‘The Mikado.’ I trust you’ll leave feeling refreshed and energized.
Any time I get to cover an event related to Birthright Israel, I’m overjoyed. My experience in Israel was like none other in my life, so I jump at any opportunity that I know will bring me back to that trip.
This was the latest of that type, a fundraising event at the Newseum in Washington, DC. (The Newseum, home to an exhibit full of Pulitzer Prize winning photographs, is of course, my favorite museum out there).
This was a wonderful event, and, as a Birthright alum who had an incredible ten days in Israel at zero cost, it was interesting to witness what actually goes into making that gift possible for myself and thousands of others around the world.
I was in great company, as well. Here’s a photo of the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson, who have donated over $100 million to Birthright Israel since 2007, posing with Michael Oren, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
It will certainly be a nice addition to the Philanthropy and Foreign Policy portfolios.
I didn’t get the beautiful fall weather that I got on my birthday last year. In fact, it’s been pouring all day. It’s still been a wonderful day, though, and a great 22 years!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
Here’s one of my all-time favorites! I just came across this one as I was searching through my archives.
A nice, exciting, colorful jolt of energy to contrast the dreary weather we’ve had all week.
I love shooting sports, but basketball is among my least favorites. There’s something about dark, yellowy lit gymnasiums that just doesn’t do it for me.
At its roots, it’s not as pure of a game as other sports are. Often the only thing you see through your lens are clusters of bodies falling on top of one another, or, if you’re shooting from the baseline, bodies falling on top of you. Visually, I prefer sports with simple, clean lines and great light. You’ll get a sense of what I mean if you click here or here.
For me, those are refreshing to look at after the types of events I’ve been covering lately.
Regardless, I shoot basketball when I need to, and I can make some good images when I do. I covered the opening round of the annual Pride of Maryland tournament at Goucher last Tuesday, and I liked these two as a pair. They show the uglier side of basketball.
This is about as exciting a photograph one can make at a networking event. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the discussions held and the questions raised while I was shooting, but visually, it was as ordinary looking as it gets.
Sometimes that’s just how it is, and it’s important for me to keep in mind that I’m not going to make amazing pictures at every assignment I shoot. As long as I get quality images of what’s needed, then I’ve done my job. Such was the case from this event.
If anything, it’s a good piece of PR for Goucher.
Here’s my first formal magazine cover!
While I was working as a photographer for the Baltimore Orioles this summer, editors of the “Echoes” alumni magazine at Young Harris College in northern Georgia contacted me requesting photos of Orioles right fielder, Nick Markakis, for a cover story they planned to run about him. If you weren’t aware, Markakis played his college ball at Young Harris.
Click here to see the rest of the magazine, as well as the article itself, which includes more photos.
This is a low resolution version of the cover, so I’ll be sure to post a better image once I get a hard copy of the magazine. Regardless, this is a great addition to my portfolio!
Hopefully this will be the first of many covers to come.
I shot the kick off event for Under Armour‘s “Are You From Here?” tour yesterday at the St. Frances Academy school in downtown Baltimore. The tour is designed to promote NBA players’ engagement with the community while the lockout prevents them from playing.
On the tour are Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks, Derrick Williams, the #2 overall NBA Draft pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kemba Walker, the #9 overall 2011 NBA Draft pick of the Charlotte Bobcats, and Grievis Vasquez, former University of Maryland star and current Memphis Grizzlies point guard.
I’ve shot basketball before, but I’ve never seen guys move like these NBA players can. Their movements are ridiculously quick, even in a pick-up exhibition game like this one. Their athleticism is freaky.
This was a fun event which I enjoyed shooting, despite the horrible lighting in the school’s gym. It made shooting action really tough, so I focused more on the candid moments like this one.
Despite the temptation to take a true break for a few days, I decided to try to be a bit productive over the past weekend, which my family and I spent in West Palm Beach, Florida. I did so by shooting some wedding pictures, adding to a part of my portfolio which is significantly smaller than most others.
For the amount I shot (which wasn’t many), I was mildly happy with what I came away with. Weddings are fun to be at, especially when they are like Greg and Meredith’s here, but I don’t find them so fun to shoot. I know, though, that that’s simply because I haven’t shot enough of them. Like anything else I shoot, I’m sure I’d look at this type of photography differently if I shot more of it.

That is about right for the EU firmware with the biggest wait being the camera. The aircraft will usually connect shortly after the aircraft initializes, and the camera takes longer with EU firmware due to finding a channel that is not being used by weather radar.
Booting up can happen well before one and a half minutes but it is the satellite acquisition that can take that long, or longer, depending on location and and other factors. Here in the US I would typically wait till I had 11 or more satellites locked before take off, and that would be about the amount of time I would wait.
I have loaded the US firmware few weeks ago (did not make myself very clear in my original post)
So my question should have been - with the US firmware loaded, what is the average boot up time for the H in the US


Lester Fitzpatrick – “UKRSS205 Thunder” EP (UKR Special Series) [September 6, 2023]
Chicago’s Techno power player and Techno veteran, Lester Fitzpatrick, returns to release on UKR with true-to-the-bone, no-nonsense cuts of underground music across “UKRSS205 Thunder” EP.
Since 2011, the UKR label (Urban Kickz Recordings) has been a purveyor of the finer points of Techno-centric artists. Founded in the United States, the label has garnered global support and recognition for its unwavering commitment to forward thinking and innovative Techno releases. As the label progressed, a sub faction of the label became an active player in releases.
The UKR Special Series subsect came about in 2018 and focuses on the underground and up-and-coming talent alongside the already established names in the UKR family. Over the past 5 years since its inception, the UKR Special Series has amassed an impressive 205 releases spanning the harder inflections of Techno alongside classic Techno influences. With this 205th installment, the label welcomes back Chicago’s underground Techno warrior, Lester Fitzpatrick, with his latest “UKRSS205 Thunder” EP.
The release calibrates heavy four-on-the-floor styles and grit with the sound designs that have made Lester an influential player in the music industry. Lester Fitzpatrick continually pushes out large volumes of releases without losing the timeless tonality that many aspire to achieve in their own productions. Over the years, Fitzpatrick’s releases have continued to push the boundaries of the status quo while still paying homage to the sound and styles that have created the foundation in his music. This “Thunder” EP serves as no exception.
The entire release captures the essence of the Chicago-based artist’s unique and artfully made engineering qualities. Gritty and subtle distortions coupled with resonating synth stabs and breathtaking bass movements create a perpetual darkness in the sonic realm of perception.
“UKRSS205Thunder” EP lives up to the name with each track striking at the heart of the pure, real deal Techno. No nonsense, no frills, just pure quality.

|Founded at the Christmas Conference of 1923/1924 in Switzerland by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) the first Principle of the Anthroposophical Society states:
The Anthroposophical Society is to be an association of people whose will it is to nurture the life of the soul, both in the individual and in human society, on the basis of a true knowledge of the spiritual world.
The Novalis Branch follows this principle by conducting a weekly study group, celebrating festivals, and sponsoring conferences and special events.
- The weekly study is based on the writings and published lectures of Rudolf Steiner. A typical study evening starts with a verse and proceeds to reading a Steiner lecture. Discussion and refreshments follow. Though we have met for years we never worry about running out of new topics to study. Rudolf Steiner’s complete works number over 360 volumes in German. Many English translations are available free on line.
- The Novalis Branch members usually celebrate St. John’s, Michaelmas, Christmas, Easter, and Whitsun. These celebrations typically involve artistic presentation of Rudolf Steiner’s art of movement, Eurythmy; short talks; verses; refreshments and unstructured togetherness.
The Branch is named after the 18th century German romantic poet Novalis (1772-1801). Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual scientific research revealed that past incarnations of Novalis include the Renaissance painter Raphael and John the Baptist. See Eternal Individuality: Towards a Karmic Biography of Novalis by Sergei Prokofieff.

A mere 48 hours after Hibs’ 7-0 thrashing at Ibrox Hearts came calling at Easter Road for the Ne’erday derby. Scoring after only 7 minutes the Jambos must have thought they were onto a sure thing against demoralised opponents, but it was Hibs who bounced back to restore pride and confidence.
Hibs and Motherwell had emerged in the early part of the season as the closest challengers to Rangers. Eighteen-year-old Kevin Harper scored the winner at Easter Road while Motherwell were trouncing Falkirk 5-3. Elsewhere, the Scotsman noted in the bullets above the headline, Chic Charnley was living up to expectations at Partick.

Yorkshire, England, Quarter Session Records, 1637-1914 has 331,599 items from the Leeds and Wakefield offices. You''ll find the guilty, innocent, plaintiffs and witnesses with names indexed but little information to place anyone with a common name in a family context. Given the name and date try newspapers as a additional source. A couple of samples I checked had quite legible handwriting - one I'd class as calligraphy.
West Yorkshire, Roman Catholic Oath Records, 1714-1787, 1829 with just 15,385 items, For the earlier period these are lists and certificates of Roman Catholics failing to take the oaths of abjuration, allegiance and supremacy which were a part of an act passed by parliament in 1715. Mostly contains names and location. The latter period, 1829, is a register of Roman Catholic Priests gathered as a result of the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Act by Parliament.
Yorkshire, England, Probate Records, 1521-1858 has 30,335 items from the Peculiar of Knaresborough and the Archdeaconry of Richmond. Some of the early records are extremely difficult to decipher, some are indexes only while the later ones can be quite comprehensive including family names, relationships and inventories.

CAMPAIGNERS have collected more than 3,000 signatures in their on-going battle to stop trees being axed at a North Wales beauty spot.
The Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) and the Forestry Commission want to return part of Newborough Forest, on Anglesey, to sand dunes.
The controversial plans would conform to European legislation demanding the area be returned to a large mobile sand dune system - a rare type of habitat across Europe.
But campaigners in The Newborough Forest Preservation Support Group (NFPSG) claim the scheme would lead to the loss of woodland where birds like pine crossbill , siskin, and ravens as well as the endangered red squirrel live.
The area also attracts thousands of walkers each year.
Yesterday NFPSG chairman Gaynor Lloyd-Davies said: "We have reached 3,000 signatures on our petition. Many supporters logged on to the website at www.newboroughforest.co.uk to register support."
In May a public meeting with the CCW and FC ended in disarray because the local Pritchard Jones Hall proved too small for the several hundred protesters who turned up.
Mrs Lloyd-Davies fears protesters will have to book places at a future public meeting, which would be "restrictive" and "not good for public relations".
Last night Forestry Commission spokesman Jon Levell said only 15pc or 100 hectares of the 700 hectare Newborough Forest would be felled.
But some of the forest's thirsty trees must be removed to raise the water table level and make neighbouring Newborough Warren more moist so it can support wildlife, he said.
The Forestry Commission and Countryside Council for Wales meet privately on Monday to fix the venue and date for a public meeting on the tree felling.
Organisers are trying hard to keep the public meeting on Anglesey but the venue must hold 200 to 300 people.
* For further information on the NFPSG log onto the website at www.newboroughforest.co.uk or ring NFPSG on 01248 430202.

Police in South Carolina say a woman who told them a man rushed into her home and stabbed her in the vagina over the weekend was lying.
The Smoking Gun reports that 29-year-old Heather Freeman originally told police that a Hispanic man with a knife barged into her Spartanburg, S.C. home last Saturday. Citing a police report, the Smoking Gun adds that Freeman told police that the man stabbed her in the vagina after sexually assaulting her.
Freeman was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center to treat the blood found on her groin area, neck, and face. However, when she was questioned at the hospital, she claimed the assailant was her black friend named Phil. After pressing, she buckled, admitting that the entire story was a lie.
She was arrested on Tuesday and charged with filing a false police report.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Could you soon get a haircut outside?
Some hair salons, barbershops and other beauty industry businesses are asking Gov. Gavin Newsom for permission to do business outside during the pandemic.
Beauty shops say they want to be able to remain open and offer their services in parking lots and sidewalks -- just like restaurants. Current state law says salons must perform their service inside a licensed business.
"My bills are still going to be due at the end of the day. When all this is over, everybody wants their money," said Tamai Atlas, who runs a salon in Grand Terrace.
"The impact on these individuals has been really cruel," said California Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno).
Patterson held a Zoom conference call Thursday with several salon owners.
"There are individuals who have put all their life savings and all their dreams into the operations of their shops, only to be told, 'You can't go outside. You can't operate in a way that others operate.' And it is arbitrary and unfair," Patterson said.
Patterson said he's sending a letter to Newsom asking him to let barbershops and salon owners do business outside.
"I'm very capable of moving my entire salon outside," said Christina Maniaci, who owns a salon in Redondo Beach. She, like many salon owners, has already made changes to the way she does business.
"It's cleaner and it's safer to come in to get a hair cut than it actually is to go to the grocery store. I know that people need to get groceries," Maniaci said.
Some fear that closing businesses might actually mean salon and barber shop owners and employees start doing business underground.
"We have no idea what people are doing for sanitation in their home. There's no way you can regulate that at all whatsoever. And, guess what? You can't tax them, either. So they're going to put all of that money in their pocket. This is not going to be good for anyone. We want to do this legally and we want to do it right. But if you don't let us, trust me, we'll find a way to make money," said salon owner Jesse Santiago.

For boutique owners and online retailers, choosing an exceptional wholesale women's clothing provider is essential for profitability and growth.
But not all wholesalers live up to their promises of trend-right fashion at truly wholesale women's clothing prices.
When you’re buying inventory in volume, cost and quality are make-or-break.
When there are so many options available, how can knowledgeable consumers of wholesale women's clothing identify the top wholesale supplier? Below are 5 traits of a reliable wholesaler.
If your women's clothing wholesaler meets 4 out of these 5 traits, you can consider buying from them.
5 Best Qualities Of Women's Clothes Wholesalers
1. Diverse Yet Cohesive Collection
The top wholesale women's clothing suppliers offer curated collections across categories. Rather than carrying wholesale women's dresses alone, they offer women's tops, bottoms, women's accessories, and outerwear under one (digital) roof.
Within each category, the aesthetic feels cohesive while providing diverse styles and print/pattern options.
This diversity ensures retailers can outfit customers for any occasion or personal taste without working with multiple clothing wholesale suppliers.
The most successful women's clothing wholesale companies enable personalization while handling time-consuming sourcing work. Brands can simply access on-trend, well-coordinated options in one easy place.
2. Rapid Supply and Shipping
Once you place a women's clothing wholesale order, shipping lead time makes a big difference. Quality providers process orders rapidly—within days, not weeks—enabling retailers to refresh inventory while styles are still current.
Choose a U.S.-based women's clothing wholesaler when possible for faster fulfillment without extended shipping lead times.
For example: if you have a store in Dallas, Texas, look for a reliable wholesaler in Dallas, Texas with these characteristics.
Also, ask providers about the average time from ordering to doorstep delivery to find the fastest service.
3. Competitive Pricing
Who doesn't love a bargain? As you evaluate wholesale women's clothing vendors, probe their pricing structure. Calculate the cost per item at different order quantities to uncover sneaky upcharges at low purchase volumes.
Reputable wholesalers should offer genuine wholesale deal pricing, even at low minimum order volumes, so brands of all sizes can test styles before investing in depth.
Look for special deals, seasonal sales, or bundle pricing as additional value opportunities. Pay attention to discounts for high reorder rates to benefit as your business scales.
4. Hands-On Support
Sourcing wholesale fashion is complex, but the right women's clothing wholesale partner provides ample support. Seek wholesalers who assign dedicated account reps to each customer to streamline ordering, provide style advice, and resolve any issues promptly.
If real-time support isn’t available, fast response times to inquiries also ease wholesale buying.
Some wholesalers offer personalized style consulting based on local market demand and previous bestselling items. Guidance from an expert makes building inventory effortless.
5. Experience and Stability
When choosing a wholesale women's clothing provider, assess their company's stability. How long have they been in business? Who owns/runs the company? What are customers saying about reliability?
Opt for an established business that reports steady annual growth and has demonstrated flexibility even through tough times like the pandemic. Financial stability ensures they’ll remain an enduring partner as your own business evolves.
The ideal women's clothing wholesale supplier acts as an extension of your team while you tap their resources and expertise.
Follow the checklist above when evaluating new wholesalers to make fruitful alignments supporting retail success.

text: As I wrote earlier today, Moqtada al Sadr and his followers are not a dissenting voice to be ignored. They criticized Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki’s meeting with President Bush saying that it was an affront to the Iraqi people. It now appears that al Sadr is not the only voice of opposition to Maliki. Today Sunni Vice President Tariq al Hashemi called for a new government and for a “coalition [to be] put in place with guarantees that ensure collective decision making.” (At least someone believes in this.) Deputy Prime Minister Salam Zikam Ali al Zubaie also criticized the Prime Minister saying that his government had not been successful in suppressing sectarian violence. I can’t help but think it’s no coincidence that this criticism by two top Sunni politicians directly followed Bush’s meeting with their superior. Today, President Bush said that we would “stay in Iraq…so long as the government wants us there.” I guess that depends on what the meaning of the word “wants” is.

It’s that time of year again! Our part of the Earth has gently angled away from the sun, lulling a warm fall season into Edmonton’s trademark winter. As skeletons and costumes get stowed away for next October, stores start tempting us to bolster their holiday coffers.
Don’t worry: this article isn’t here to chastise you for how you do your holiday shopping. But it does come loaded with tips for gifting personalized presents that are a bit more eco-friendly and budget-friendly.
First things first: the gifts
You’ve probably already heard the advice of gifting experiences, not products. Experiences aren’t always budget-friendly, though. The good news is that there are gifting options available that are kinder on the planet and on your wallet.
– Hand-picked recommendations: Tune into what your gift recipient likes and draw them up a personalized list of recommendations. The list could contain video games, books, podcasts, movies, songs, cafés, walking routes, etc.
– Handcrafted gifts: If you’re crafty, you could create a handmade present. Cookies, digital art, a short piece of fanfiction, a crocheted turtle, a necklace, a pin — if you can make it, you can gift it.
– Curated scrapbook or collage: Gather photos of both you and your gift recipient, and stick them into a scrapbook format of your choosing. Got loose leaf, forgotten stationary, or old stickers kicking around? This is the perfect opportunity to use them. Don’t worry about making a masterpiece. A little effort and heart go a long way. Bonus: if they’re into comics, video games, or movies, you could grab pictures of their favourite character or characters and make a collage of them instead.
– Sharable Herman sourdough starter: Prepare and gift a Herman sourdough starter. I was introduced to this when I was in elementary school. A person makes the first starter, uses part of it to make bread, and then passes it on to the next person. It’s a gift that truly keeps on giving if it’s well taken care of!
– Digital gift card: Run out of time for a gift? Looking to gift something to someone who lives far away without shipping something over? A digital gift card to their favourite store could do the trick.
Setting the scene: the decorations
Just as it’s possible to green up your gifts, it’s also possible to achieve an environmentally-friendly holiday aesthetic at an affordable price. Here’s one project idea to get you started.
– Festive centrepiece: When I was a kid, we would make centrepieces using floral foam, but I’ve since found out that this material is not great for us or the planet. Instead, try making a centrepiece using items that you already have. Grab a vase, fill it with a heavy base like pebbles or marbles, and then stick in short pine tree twigs. Next, decorate them with ribbons, holiday ornaments, and maybe even a small string of lights. It’ll be like having your own miniature winter wonderland.
Putting a bow on it: the gift wrap
Try these alternatives to gift wrapping this year to help cut down on paper waste. If you do opt to use gift wrapping and you’re gifting to family, you can keep the paper for future holiday seasons if it’s in good shape. This also applies to items like bows, gift bags, and decorative boxes.
– Fabric or scarves: To reduce holiday waste and still add flair to your wrapping, consider wrapping up gifts in fabric. Tea cloths, scarves, or old long-sleeved shirts and sweaters will do the trick. If you find shirts or textiles that seem to be beyond repair, drop them off at a place like Blenderz Garment Recyclers instead of the landfill.
– Tags: Prefer not to store holiday cards? You can repurpose them by turning them into gift tags. Cut shapes out of the patterned side of the card, put a hole through one of the corners, and you’ll be good to stick them to your gifts.
Happy holidays, and don’t forget to gift some time to yourself during this hectic time of year!

The NBA season is almost halfway over, and the Los Angeles Lakers are unexpectedly sitting at .500, 10th place in the Western Conference. They are looking destined to be a play-in team for the second season in a row under the leadership of head coach Darvin Ham, and that shouldn't be the case with a young talented roster surrounding LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
This group is definitely underachieving considering they reached the Western Conference finals last year and have had LeBron and AD healthy for most of this season. Both of them are also playing at All-Star levels averaging at least 25 points per game.
Despite their efforts, the Lakers are ranked 24th in offensive rating, 17th in points per game, and have lacked any sort of offensive strategy that has been sustainable. In games that weren't a part of the In-Season tournament, they have not shown the sense of urgency needed to match the energy of their opponents.
Their last lost to New Orleans proves just how bad things have gotten over the past few weeks. After beating them by more than 40 points in the semi-finals of the in-season tournament, the Lakers were run off the floor by that same team losing by 20 points this past weekend.
The Lakers season has run off course, and it is time to question if Darvin Ham is the correct captain to right the ship. Motivating the team and having them prepared mentally on a nightly basis is a big part of his job and it seems as if the Lakers are team still searching for their identity and players do not have defined roles.
Darvin Ham has always been questioned as the head coach of the Lakers
There were questions if Ham was the right hire before he got this job at the beginning of last season because he was a first-time head coach. Longtime L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke even wrote a piece after he was hired that had the first line, Darvin who?
Ham had been an assistant around the league for a long time, but the Lakers normally go after seasoned and high-profile head coaches, something Ham obviously was not. He has shown his inexperience by his strange rotations and making questionable play calls after timeouts that even have LeBron looking confused.
Last regular season he lead the Lakers to the playoffs after squeaking in through the play-in tournament and was let off the hook for their poor play for most of the season because of scapegoat Russell Westbrook.
This year, Ham has no excuse for the Lakers to be where they are in the standings at this point, sitting at 17-17 and losing eight of their last 11 games since winning the In-Season tournament. The Lakers have had some injuries, but AD and LeBron have only missed five games combined all year.
The two previous Lakers' head coaches who got the boot arguably did more with worse rosters and had to deal with more significant injuries.
Surprisingly, in Luke Walton's last season as head coach the Lakers were 20-14 after 34 games, and LeBron was still surrounded by a young team that had not traded for Anthony Davis yet.
In Frank Vogel's last season as the head coach the Lakers were 16-18 at this point in their season, and he had to deal with bigger injuries with LeBron and AD missing a combined 19 games.
Since those two guys were fired after similar starts to the season it is a fair question to ask if this will be Ham's last year at the helm if he cannot turn it around.
He has had questionable rotations and starting lineups all season, and that has lead to bad on-court chemistry throughout the roster. Ham has essentially stayed away from the lineups that worked last season, which is baffling considering that this team has not looked like the team that won two series in the playoffs last year.
Both Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell have been relegated to the bench despite them both playing big roles last postseason. The starting five that led the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals last season of AD, LeBron, Reaves, Russell, and Jarred Vanderbilt has yet to start a game this season and has barely played any minutes at all together. He finally decided to put Rui Hachimura in the starting lineup after not playing him as much as he did in the playoffs.
This team has a ton of issues right now and might have the wrong guy trying to fix them. One thing that is clear is that if the Lakers do not improve quickly the criticism for their head coach will only get worse and he will most likely be on the hot seat by the end of the season if he is not already.

According to a statement posted on the site Alalekaroni device, "the announcement that the deletion of zeros from the currency has raised concerns of citizens and business on the grounds that the change of exchange rate changes with the prices of goods and services."

The source added that by deliberating with the Central Bank of Iraq and Astvsarna on the impact of the deletion of zeros on the inflation rates have confirmed that there was no influence whatsoever for the deletion of zeros on inflation if the exchange rate of the dollar now is 1200 dinars, the deletion of zeros will make the exchange rate is 1.2 dinars to the dollar and this will naturally to the stability of commodity prices, particularly imported it, and not inflated prices, as this process by myself, where do not deal citizen figures large cash this side and on the other hand facilitate cash transactions in banks and business dealings of other terms of dealing merchant categories of small coin.
The experience of Iraq during the nineties indicate a strong correlation House of inflation and exchange rates of the dollar has seen the period known as inflation, acute, where the exchange rate was changing very quickly and will change the prices of goods and services, especially imported from them, which was removed from the pace of inflation substantially and at a rapid rate .

The T1 storm signal was cancelled at lunchtime on Tuesday as Severe Tropical Storm Rai skirted the coast of Guangdong.
“Rai will gradually depart from the territory this afternoon and will continue to weaken. It no longer poses a threat to the territory,” the Observatory said.
“Although Rai will depart from Hong Kong, the northeast monsoon will still affect the territory. There will still be occasional strong winds offshore and on high ground,” the Observatory added.
The city is set for a chilly Christmas weekend, though temperatures may rise towards the middle of next week.
Rain is set to continue until the weekend with lows of 10 degrees Celsius expected on Monday.
“An intense winter monsoon is expected to reach the coast of southern China on Christmas Day. The weather will become cold appreciably over the region afterwards,” according to the Observatory.

The grid-connectors are critical devices which transfer the accumulated green energy from wind and solar power systems into the main grid. The single-phase grid connection for PV and wind power systems is one of the key components of stable and efficient power transfer into the grid. Grid-synchronization, EMI problems, harmonic regulations and efficiency are design issues involved in the definition of a model.
Detailed modeling of the grid synchronization and modulation techniques, as well as power electronics technology, are required in the modeling of grid converters for green energy.
Quadrature controllers, analogous to field oriented control in electrical drives, allow the control of active and reactive power in both single and three phase grid connections.
CASPOC™ empowers engineers to simulate important factors such as modulation strategies, loss determination and thermal cycling, as well as life time estimation.

President Nicos Anastasiades will have a phone call with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday, during which he is expected to assure him of his determination to enter into new talks for a Cyprus settlement, under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General, but not under terms imposed by others or with faits accomplis.
Anastasiades was addressing an event at the British High Commission, in Nicosia, on Thursday night to mark 60 years of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the UK.
In his speech, the President referred to the latest Turkish actions in Varosha, which he described as “the first step to alter the status of Varosha, in stark contrast to relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and in particular Resolution 550 (1984) and 789 (1992).”
The decision to open part of the beachfront of Varosha was taken only four days after the European Council, which discussed tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean as a result of Turkey’s activities and agreed to leave room for diplomacy for de-escalation and for creating a positive atmosphere for Cyprus talks to resume and EU-Turkey relations to improve, the President continued.
Despite intense efforts to prevent new faits accomplish, both by the UN and by other partners, including the UK, Turkish President Erdogan carried on with this “new unilateral and totally unacceptable step, interpreting the patience of the international and European community as tolerance” towards his moves, President Anastasiades noted.
In his address, he also underlined the “excellent bilateral relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom” and pointed to the agreement allowing property development within the British Bases in Cyprus, as another “particularly important milestone” reflecting the level of cooperation between the two countries.

The regular price for school lunches in Washington County increased in April to $1.80 for elementary lunch and $2.05 for secondary lunch. Each was a 10-cent increase.
According to information released by the state department, household size and income are the most common ways to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price meals.
Under the new guidelines, a child from a family of two is eligible for free meals if the household's income is less than $13,273 annually, and for reduced-price meals if it is less than $25,327, state officials said. A child from a family of three is eligible for free meals if the household's income is $22,321 or less, and for reduced-price meals if it is less than $38,203.
Officials said a child from a family of four qualifies for free school meals if the household's income is less than $26,845. If the family's income is less than $38,203, the child qualifies for reduced-price meals.
For each additional family member, add $4,524 to the maximum income allowed to qualify for free meals, and $6,438 to the amount for reduced-price meals, state officials said.
"For us, it doesn't really increase our free and reduced-price (meals) numbers," Dodds said. "The same people who were eligible last year will be eligible this year, with a few variations. This doesn't play a big part in the increase of the free and reduced numbers."
State officials said schools will notify parents/guardians that their children qualify for free or reduced-price meals.
By the numbers
The percentage of Washington County Public Schools students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals:
· 2000-01 - 27.5
· 2001-02 - 30.6
· 2002-03 - 31.3
· 2003-04 - 32.8

I Killed A Rabid Fox With A Croquet Mallet , written by Nicolas Boillot, the CEO of HB Agency , is subtitled Making What you are promoting Stories Compelling And remarkable, and that’s exactly what the book outlines. Stories, and the significance of storytelling in business and marketing.
In my other life, I write fiction, so I’ve read quite a few books and articles on story structure and writing. This book takes storytelling theory and lessons, distills them and shows you the way you need to use them to learn your corporation. You need to create a story inside the minds of your customers, and this book shows you the way.
I’ve been thumbing during the book (not literally, I got a PDF copy), and there’s plenty of cool stuff in here (including the tale that inspired the title. Spoilers: The writer says he truly did kill a rabid fox with a croquet mallet). It’s packed with case studies, “from a small Canadian folk band, to a medium-sized environmental consulting group, our examples allow you to to determine that it’s not any such stretch to get from here to there, using your individual best stories because the catalyst. You are able to do it, and this book will show you the way.”
The author was kind enough to permit us to post an excerpt. Here’s portion of chapter one:
WHAT’S A NARRATIVE?
Search online or ask friends and co-workers, “What’s in a narrative?” and every friend, each source, will provide you with a further answer.
In HB Agency’s PR practice, once we reach out to journalists, they generally ask without delay if we’re calling a few first, best or only. In other words, they would like to grasp if our scoop will provide them with knowledge a couple of product, service and even an event that nobody has ever heard about. Or something that’s more impressive than the rest. If we can’t say “yes” (and most often we can’t), they ask, “Why would my audience care?”
Novelist Jim Hines says he was taught that a narrative shows us “interesting people in interesting places solving interesting problems in interesting ways.” He goes directly to ask, “What qualifies as interesting, anyway?” And, “How are you able to tell in the event that your stuff may be interesting to others?”
Great past and contemporary storytellers will discuss with Shakespeare because the master of all storytellers, yet after in-depth study, none of them can devise any type of recipe for telling an exceptional story according to Shakespeare. Some Shakespearean scholars claim that he depended on surprise and incongruity for far of his storytelling – that those elements, surprise and incongruity, keep us hooked as his plots unfold.
Surprise and incongruity, what am I speculated to do with that?
Roughly 400 years after Shakespeare, Robert McKee, consultant to the film industry and mentor to screenwriters, novelists and playwrights, often says “story happens when there’s a niche between expectation and result.” That’s a little bit more helpful than “surprise and incongruity.” As a matter of fact, that nugget is so helpful that it bears repeating:
STORY HAPPENS WHEN THERE’S A NICHE BETWEEN EXPECTATION AND RESULT.
Let’s dig deeper.
Suppose you run into an old friend at a business meeting and also you say, “Hey, have I got a narrative for you!” She perks up, and also you commence:
“I went to work late yesterday evening to end up a project, and my business partner was already in his office. i’ll tell by the sunshine under the door. Wow, i assumed, he’s not usually in that late. I knocked at the door, he told me to return in, after which he had this example occurring which made me are looking to help him right away…”
Very quickly, you see that you simplyr old friend has that sleepy look in her eye that you recognize from somewhere. Oh, that’s it: the identical look a two-year-old gets when her mother reads Goodnight Moon.
“I went to work late yesterday evening and my business partner was in his office. I knocked at the door, walked in, and noticed that things weren’t right. I had had some suspicion about this because he’s not usually in his office. He was actually lying at the floor…”
She perks up. What? Lying at the floor? Try another time:
“I went to work late last night and located my business partner lying at the floor naked with scratch marks right through his body. I heard a noise and looked as much as see an orangutan within the corner, glaring at me while chewing considered one of its fingernails…”
Your colleague interrupts you. “Whoooa…” she says, “slow down. i would like to listen to it from the beginning… so you’re walking into the office and… did you even notice anything in your way in?”
You didn’t actually have to get loud or intense.
The widening gap between expectation and result, and/or the surprise and incongruity that Shakespeare depends upon, absorbs us into the tale. At this point you’re thinking: Is sensible. But my company doesn’t have stories about naked business partners recently mauled by orangutans!
NEWS FLASH: YOU HAVE GOT STORIES, LOTS OF THEM COMPELLING.
Your stories exist. They’re told and repeated each day:
• By directors, to management
• By management, to employees
• By salespeople, to customers
• By customers, to prospects
Some people won’t even think about them as stories, but you’ve them in droves they usually survive and propagate, without or with your assistance. Unfortunately, they’re in most cases forgotten, wasted or poorly used.
LEVERAGE – MAKING MORE FROM WHAT YOU’VE GOT.
Remember your first experience of leverage. Maybe you needed to move a rock and someone showed you ways you can put your weight on one end of a stick, use a log or a boulder as a fulcrum, and move a heavy object at the other end. You didn’t ought to change your weight or your strength. You didn’t need to buy any additional equipment. But suddenly it’s worthwhile to leverage your individual weight to transport something much bigger.
Stories are like that. You’ve got them and you’ve already paid for them. They could do the heavy lifting for you and your corporation. The question is a way to take advantage of them, to leverage them, in an effort to move your audiences how you want.
NEWS FLASH – YOU ABSORB OTHER BUSINESSES’ STORIES ON A DAILY BASIS.
From billboards to the net, businesses compete to notify, interact, transact and create strong relationships with prospects and customers. L.L.Bean rose to fame through its ironclad satisfaction guarantee:
“Guaranteed to Last. Our products are certain to give 100% satisfaction in every way. Return anything purchased from us at anytime if it proves otherwise. We don’t want you to have anything from L.L.Bean that isn’t completely satisfactory.”
When we were in college, students boasted about returning an item they’d abused over several months or years and getting a brand new one at no cost. Such stories spread quickly. We believe L.L.Bean banked at the incontrovertible fact that many people who heard these stories had one reaction: That person’s abusing the system. But what an important company to have this type of return policy!
The return policy doesn’t make the tale interesting – it’s the tale about someone abusing the system that captures our attention. Did L.L.Bean executives plan on such stories becoming the catalyst to its phenomenal growth and longevity? Maybe they knew that some bargain-hunters and system abusers may be the first to spread tales in regards to the return policy. If this is the case, they ought to even have known that such tales would reach and influence millions of consumers who will be more scrupulous about their returns.
OUTSIDE BUSINESS, WE RECOGNIZE STORIES EVERYWHERE.
Great stories live in movies, theatres, magazine pages, YouTube, books, company websites and, most of all, in our minds.
Great stories stick out and stick around. We retell them. We reread them. We watch them repeated. We share them again and again. In reality, we love them most that we depend on other folks to indicate, you’ve told me that one already. To which we answer, “I know. But Joe hasn’t heard it – I’ll tell it again.” Sometimes we even say, “I know, but i admire telling it.”
COMPELLING AND MEMORABLE
These terms will crop up repeatedly throughout this book. Nearly all people discuss stories and describe them pretty much as good, great, cool, fun, etc. Qualifiers like these are completely subjective. And while almost everything qualifies as “subjective” to some extent, using the words compelling and noteworthy is more helpful to helping us understand what makes a narrative valuable to your business.
Compelling: Which means the tale grabs your attention. You’re compelled to listen, read, and watch. We’re not naïve enough to think that many business stories will provide edge-of-your-seat gripping intensity… But compelling, yes. Even captivating. The proper business stories grab the audience’s attention, like the right salesperson hooks a prospect.
But who’s the “you” once we say grab your attention? It’s not you! You’re the storyteller. While your story should seem compelling to you, it’s more important to make it compelling to your audience.
Remember that – we’ll be talking about audience later.
Memorable: As business owners and employees, we attribute special intending to a number of our stories. They color the cloth of our time together, the ups and downs of our business life, the solidarity of being “in it together.” They frequently provide reasons for purchasing up daily and going to work – reasons we tell friends and spouse and children regularly. This book is set stories designed especially in your professional communities, outside and inside your online business, and we wish them memorable for 2 primary reasons.
• First, we’d like our audiences, especially our customers and prospects, to preserve great reasons to work with us. In a fiercely competitive landscape, it’s tough to get a brand new customer. Keeping that customer happy is even tougher. What we call brand loyalty involves getting customers to bear in mind compelling stories about our business and their interactions with it. For our internal audiences, a similar reasoning applies: Memorable stories solidify an employee’s reasons to return to work, to speak to other potentially good employees concerning the company, and to worth the memories she or he makes within the workplace.
• Second, the easiest way to market ourselves is when folks marketplace for us – in other words, word of mouth marketing. If our audiences remember the nice stories about our business, they are going to so much more easily share them with their friends. In a time when the networked world makes sharing easier than ever, it pays to have lots of good stories to share.

Changing political equations
It is no surprise that political equations in Assam have been rapidly changing in the past few days as the 2016 assembly elections loom ever closer. When the Congress retained power at the Centre with more seats in 2009, it scored a resounding hat-trick in Assam even though most political alysts here had predicted otherwise. But after the rendra Modi-led BJP’s landslide win last year at the Centre and consolidation of the saffron wave in several states before 2014 and thereafter, the political scerio in Assam was set for a sea-change. In a bid to keep up its winning momentum, the BJP (albeit the Delhi setback) is now eyeing Assam as its gateway to expansion in the Northeast. BJP tiol president Amit Shah’s visit to Guwahati on Tuesday to take stock of the party’s public contact programme ‘Maha Sampark Abhiyan’ was significant in more ways than one. His series of closed-door meetings with State and district BJP leaders, BJP MPs and MLAs, as well as conveners and presidents of BJP units in other NE states, seemed to carry a ‘now or never’ urgency in capitalising on the saffron groundwork laid in the region. The party’s organisatiol general secretary Ram Lal indicated as much when he said that his party ‘is in power in 13 states presently, and aims to increase the tally to 20 by 2019’.
Much however depends on how realistic the BJP’s gameplan of ‘Mission 84+’ is in Assam, considering its current strength in the State Assembly stands at just six MLAs. Will the BJP succeed in raising its numbers in the Assembly up by fourteen-fold merely on the strength of a perceived strong anti-incumbency wave the ruling Congress is likely to face in ten months? What strategy will the saffron party employ in seats held tightly by parties like the AIUDF and BPF? The BJP’s strategy to attract six ethnic communities agitating for ST status may also be vital for its electoral fortunes. On the other hand, the renewed activity of the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led dissident bloc in the Congress, has set off speculations in political circles with Sarma reportedly in touch with the BJP tiol leadership as well as a section of AGP leaders. Whether this leads to an exodus of some disgruntled Congress leaders to the BJP after 3-4 months or lead to the formation of a broad regiol front with parties like the AGP, HSDP, Sanmilita Gashakti and Congress dissidents remains to be seen.

"A la Folie" means "I love you madly" in French
- taken from their website
After having a bagelicious lunch at Jungle Juice Bar, a dear friend and I decided to indulge ourselves with some macarons (there is always room for dessert). Whilst walking to La Belle Miette, we walked through the Royal Arcade and stumbled across The Little Royal - a kiosk / permanent stall that sold macarons!!! We originally went to Lindt Cafe on Collins Street, but I'm not a huge fan of Lindt macarons, especially after they removed the apple cinnamon flavour from their range... They're not that great anyways. I hate crumbly macarons.
We bought four fantastic flavours: coconut, matcha with redcurrent filling (my personal favourite), vanilla with caramel filling and opera coffee chocolate. They were excellent but the opera coffee was a bit too rich for my liking.
I wanted to try the large macaron desserts ($8.50) but they don't look as good and as nicely crafted compared the huge macarons at Luxbite. I definitely would recommend this place for a quick fix of sugary goodness.
Very interesting flavours!!! Will have to try them all one day :)

12/30/2002 Archived Entry: "Today's MLB News:Cinergy Comes Down"
Today's MLB News by Eric Gartman
Cinergy Field Comes Down- Cincinnati's Cinergy Field, formerly known as Riverfront Stadium, came down yesterday in a mere 38 seconds, ending 32 years of baseball history there. Cinergy field will be replaced by the baseball only Great American Ballpark, a 42,000-thousand seat structure next to the old site. During its existence, Riverfront was home to the Big Red Machine in the 1970's, as well as Pete Rose's 4,192nd hit.
As Baseball Guru's resident business guru, some people have been asking me what economic impact the new stadium will have on the team. As we all know, the Reds have been struggling as of late, not having reached the playoffs since 1995 (although they came within one game in 1999). The new park should definately attract more fans, especially in its first few years. Riverfront Stadium was a classic "cookie-cutter" park, built for two sports, with no defining characteristics, save for its ugly astroturf. The Great American Ballpark looks like a magnificent shrine for baseball, with only 42,000 seats as opposed to Riverfront's cavernous 55,000. The new park is also built on the river, but unlike the old one, it is open on the side facing the Ohio river, affording a spectacular view, much like the new park in Pittsburgh. Along with the new increase in revenue-sharing, the Reds should have more money to work with over the next few years. It remains to be see, however, just how much money that will be, and if it will be enough. But at least the franchise is heading in the right direction. I look forward to the first day of baseball in the Queen City!
