Top 10 Tips for Spa Holiday Marketing
Are you prepared, and do you have an internet strategy in place to take advantage of social marketing? If not, here are some online marketing tips to get your spa ready for the holidays.
1. Segment your holiday email list. Consider dividing your list into groups based on age, gender, past click-thru behavior or past purchases.
2. Give subscribers LOTS of choices for holiday gift-giving in the form of Top 10 or 20 lists. Let's face it; the holidays can be very stressful.Eliminate that tension by providing creative ideas in several categories and price ranges. Create lists such as "Top 10 Spa Gift Ideas Under $100" or "Top 10 Stress Busters" or "Gifts Ideas for Persnickety People."
3. Send an email invitation to your best customers promoting an in-store VIP shopping event. Make it fun and offer discounted products and services and freebies such as chair massage and holiday make-over's.
4. Send a special VIP offer to newsletter subscribers who are most active (those with the highest open and click-thrus rates). These are your most valuable subscribers. Reward this segment of your list with special VIP discounts to your online store.
5. If your spa has an online store, remind people that your shopping cart has a "Wishlist" feature!
6. Draw attention to Spa Gift Certificates. Make sure there's a prominent link from your home page.
7. Spread holiday cheer to all your customers and newsletter subscribers. There's no better time to send a thank you note to acknowledge their patronage. While you're at it, be sure to include a discount on future purchases.
8. Promote sharing coupons and special offers with friends and relatives. This year, more than ever, consumers will be looking for bargains. Include a "forward to a friend" link and encourage subscribers to use it. Be sure to track those clicks.
9. Encourage sales by implementing a "Blow-Out" or "One-Day Only" sale. Invite customers and subscribers to sign-up to receive special notices. Each day, send out a notice spotlighting a single spa product or service at a special sale price – for 24 hours only. Creating a sense of urgency will boost sales!
10. Time your emails for key shopping days. Customers expect bargains and promotions on Cyber Monday, Green Monday, and the Friday following Thanksgiving. Don't disappoint them.

- Saturday nightOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/16/20142nd time eating here late Saturday night. Food is great service is bad. But if you are going to eat dinner at a club you have to expect that. They are so busy and understaffed that everything is just very slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bathroom fit for the boardy barnOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014the papardelle was too salty to eat for salt lovers but we were pleased with teh sscallops, meatballs and octopus. Too bad the ladies had to use those nasty bathrooms.Special Features:
- Go for the scene. Not the food.Rff3rdVIPDined on 7/26/2014Food was all overcooked and generic. Scene is vibrant and fun so go for a late dinner and some dancing to DJ.Special Features:
- one of the best choices to dinefinedinenycVIPDined on 7/19/2014Loved Sienna featuring Donnatella, the restaurant was lovely & staff attentive. We were sat right away and made to feel welcome. The food was delicious with authentic italian meatballs and eggplant parm like nonnas. Thrilled to have Donnatella herself come to the table to suggest menu items. Dont miss the desserts!
- RidiculousLovestodineVIPDined on 7/12/2014Sienna Restaurant was ridiculously expensive. Especially the drinks. One Martini, up was $22.00 . The food was fine but for an Italian restaurant, they had only two pastas in the menu and no Italian wines. The place looks run down and it was empty. If it hadn't been for the wonderful waitress who took a personal interest in making our experience pleasant, the whole dinner would have been a fiasco. Needless to say, we will not go back.
- Do Not Go!CK1020Dined on 7/5/2014The service was horrendous, we never got our food, the two dishes we did get were cold and inedible, and tasteless. Unless you want to wait three hours to find out they are out of the food you ordered two hours ago, do not go to this restaurant.
- Loud & NoisyTriBeCaGirl155VIPDined on 7/5/2014The service was excellent but other than that it was expensive for OK food. The interior design of the space was blah! You're better off dining outside of the main dining room, which seemed dark and cramped. It was a disappointment. The lobster cobb salad was good but the portion was minuscule. The grilled octopus salad was bland. While many restaurants in the Hamptons are expensive--- some are worth it---Sienna's is not!
- Only go for night out or brunchJessNYCVIPDined on 7/4/2014I was so disappointed with Sienna, I really haven never been so disgusted with service, venue, and lack of consideration for patrons as I was here. Just to give you a background, I am an open table VIP, and dine out at least 6-7 times a month with open table, this is not counting impromptu dinners. The restaurant portion of the venue was entirely empty, not another group to be seen, so sitting us right next to a micros computer stand is unacceptable. The waitstaff was attentive when we ordered drinks but thereafter just stood to the side staring at us for about 20 minutes before coming to take our order. Considering that I had 20 minutes to peruse the menu, I realized the menu was missing half of the options that are on opentables menu.Special Features:
- Bad service but great DJChazsmomVIPDined on 6/21/2014They didn't serve us isn't il we ask a few times. Finally got us drinks them never came with wine until we reminded them several times. The tuna tartar was not fresh but chewy! We had heating lamps near our outdoor table and they took them away exalting VIP's need them! After all the bad service they wanted to get us a another round if drinks but we wanted to get out and didn't want to wait so they comped then dessert. It was a weird crowd. But the dJ was fabulous!Special Features:
- Not ready for the seasonOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 5/31/2014Sienna is not ready for prime time. The former restaurant name still on the outside, carpet dirty and worn. The restaurant is undecided if it is a restaurant or nightclub. If it is a restaurant it needs an interior facelift. It is gloomy and has no style or graciousness. Prices are steep even for the Hamptons. Meatballs (tasty) and pasta are outrageously priced. We ordered appetizers to be shared, but we had to apportion the food ourselves. One guest had expected to order salmon as he had read the menu online before coming. He was told that the online menu was from the former restaurant and salmon was unavailable! While early in evening the piped in music was loud, the volume was lowered upon request. Star chef doesn't mean star review.
- a place of no returnOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 5/30/2014This place seems more interested in being a nightclub than a restaurant. While the entrees were well prepared, the eggplant parmesan appetizer could have come out of a box in the freezer. There were no reasonably priced wines on the list. We won't go back.
- The following 30 reviews are from the Sienna Restaurant by Donatella (East Hampton) reviews archive.
- Great memorial weekendJackoVIPDined on 5/25/2014We dined on Saturday night and Siennas excelled in their first weekend with fine food and service. Everything about this place is sexy. The music during dinner makes you feel like you are in st tropez, then at midnight the restaurant transforms into a high-end club. A real hotspot for good-looking people. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Maybe the worst in the HamptonsHt1104Dined on 5/25/2014The food is insanely overpriced for small portions and not very good. The service was pretty slow and they were messing up everyone's orders. And the ambiance was honestly pretty gross. Definitely my worst dining experience I've ever had in the HamptonsSpecial Features:
- Rip OffFoodmanVIPDined on 5/25/2014As some one who is used to high prices at NYC restaurants, it wasn't the prices that disturbed me - it was the tiny portions which quite frankly were of lower quality than a pre-theater meal near Broadway. Ms. Donatella is certainly trying to ruin her reputation by associating her name with this establishment.
- More club than restaurant...OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 5/23/2014You can't be a club and a decent restaurant. Sienna tries to be both. Food quality was better than I expected, but portions are small. We were rushed during dinner so they can move the tables and set up the club.
- Bad in every way...OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/23/2013Terrible food, annoying staff and a B crowd in every way. Avoid at all costs...
- DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/26/2013The Chilean sea bass was exceptional and the wait staff extremely accommodating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was great. Turns intoguijDined on 7/26/2013Food was great. Turns into a hot night spot after 11:00.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly fun and good but....OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/20/2013We had a group of friends in town and wanted a place we could have some fun. Drinks and food were great, staff was very nice so almost a perfect score. But the dj was awful, no one was dancing. Occasionally a good song would come on but it was shortlived. Fix this and you have a winner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Fun21timesaweekDined on 7/13/2013Friends food fun, beautiful people, stay tuned for the follow up we're going back to verify, nothing in the Hampton's has the combination of good food and energySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MOST FUN EVER!CGALDined on 7/6/2013Went with a group of friends and had an amazing dinner. We love TBAR in the city and the food is just as good at Sienna. As if a great dinner was not enough of a reason to go back (try the tuna - amazing!) my friends and I watched the staff transform the room into a super cool VIP nightclub. We were able to buy a bottle service table inside the club. Great DJ so we stayed all night Ira, one of the owners, made sure we had a great time. We are going back next weekend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Food and Energetic SceneOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/3/2013Loved this place. Lots of energy, and the food was top notch. I highly recommend the duck with sweet potatoes. The staff was very nice. They would have received 5 stars if the wait staff followed up after our food was served and topped off our wine and water. That took a few minutes. They were also setting up for their night club so they kind of had to hurry us along, which was honestly fine because we wanted to eat quickly and get on our way anyway. We had a late reservation. I doubt that was typical. I definitely plan on going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was excellent anddaisyVIPDined on 6/21/2013The food was excellent and the service was terrific.Special Features:
- WOW ! Had a Great Dinner !747BeachVIPDined on 6/6/2013Enjoyed a fantastic dinner.......service was great and the menu was fun. I enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio. I'll be back !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A new standard for Hampton diningOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/18/2012We were sat promptly- attentive, warm, friendly service, not a detail spared, offering black napkins to our dark clothing-clad guests, to customizing certain dishes based on specific dietary needs. Food delicious with a presentation that had élan. Where there for brunch, must have the croque monsieur, almond flour pancakes and irresistible French Toast. The ambience was beautiful, tan accents on white background. There was a buzz in the air with fantastic, fresh music which had not only our table swaying to the beat, but,ultimately, the entire restaurant rhythmically moving as the restaurant DJ took over the addictive pre-recorded set to his own variation of dance music. No one wanted to leave. We are coming back for dinner. MemoraSpecial Features:
- We were kept waiting 1.5 hoursOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/11/2012We were kept waiting 1.5 hours for our reservation. The service was terrible.Special Features:
- This is pretty much the sameSjpvacVIPDined on 7/21/2012This is pretty much the same as the resutaurant that was here before which was called Philippe East which means overpriced drinks and food. Okay to go once but not a second time.
- First time there, the foodTrifecta123VIPDined on 7/14/2012First time there, the food was great. The service was good and tge staff was friendly. The drinks were awesome and a good time was had by all including our 6 year old that wanted to go to brunch there the next day. We will be back soon!Special Features:
- Very quiet during the week!lynnDined on 7/11/2012Very quiet during the week! On the weekend, the restaurant has a big clientelle.Special Features:
- dishes were much too complicatedbarbEHVIPDined on 7/11/2012dishes were much too complicated and prices were too high. Too many other better restaurants in the area to warrant a return visit here.
- 7:30 reservation and theyKBNJVIPDined on 7/7/20127:30 reservation and they where sweeping the floors from the afternoon brunch which was finished at 6pm. A busboy was going around to each table around us and was polishing silverware. The awning outside over the tables was very shabby. This was not appetizing or appropriate at a restaurant that is at least $250 per couple without drinks/wine. The wine list is not well balanced and extremely overpriced. The food was good, not memorable, but the prices are over the top for a "bistro" in the Hamptons, more than NYC! The service is in experienced. It may be a scene, but after one time experience, I doubt people will want to come back at those prices.Special Features:
- The food was very good andJennyDVIPDined on 7/6/2012The food was very good and the staff was very helpful and nice. Definitely an huge improvement over previous restaurants/clubs that have occupied this space. The food prices are reasonable (for the area); the drinks are somewhat overpriced. If you are there for the scene then request a table inside. If you want a more mellow dinner experience request the patio. I went for dinner, but would definitely return to try the brunch.Special Features:
- We had a 9:30 reservation...weOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/30/2012We had a 9:30 reservation...we were seated at 11:30. They have no idea how to run a restaurant. Horrible experience.
- Consider this location anWonderfulVIPDined on 6/23/2012Consider this location an abbreviated menu version of the NYC location. Ravioli were delicious but the green salad and then quinoa salad were lacking in flavor. Besides that, the usual Beaumarchais dance party ensued and we had a great time - as usual!Special Features:
- Pricey but Worth a TryOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/9/2012My wife and I tried Beaumarchais on a whim. As most East Hampton regulars know, many restaurants and clubs have been in this space over the years. They constantly seem to come and go. The food was actually very good. We had the fluke ceviche, the fluke entree and an entree-sized portion of the homemade ravioli. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert which was amazing. The wine list is very limited. The cheapest Pinot Noir was $120. Drinks were over the top expensive. The staff is very european- English is a challenge for some. We will likely go back once more this summer but this would not be one of our regular spots as it seems destined for hedge fund kids who want to spend $500 for the bowl of mojitos on the menu.Special Features:
- Cocktails were excellent.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/3/2012Cocktails were excellent. Food was overcooked and mediocre.Special Features:
- If you are looking for a hotOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 6/2/2012If you are looking for a hot mess and don't care about the food then you will like it at Beaumarchais. It's basically a euro club party in a restaurant. The food was honestly awful but it's certainly a scene. Lots of older wealthy guys with girls who are looking for exactly that type. Fun if your plan is to get obliterated and dance to the DJ.Special Features:
- Food has French names, butRichardVIPDined on 6/1/2012Food has French names, but is decidedly Wonder Breadish. Inconsistent service. Needs hands-on management, if it's going to make it through the Hamptons season.
- Opening weekend for Beaumarchais,OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 5/27/2012Opening weekend for Beaumarchais, a la Plage. We dined a few hours after what looked like a happening brunch. We had a great dinner. The crabcake and the ceviche were very good. Our steaks were great too, but the sauce for the steak au poivre was flavorless. Our waitress, out for the weekend from Beaumarchais, NYC, was terrific. It's great vibe, friendly staff and looks like it should be a great success this season.Special Features:
- Too Soon!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/26/2012To be fair, the place is brand new but had too many problems and was very expensive for a burger We were expecting a fun party, but they had challenges with Audio. Maybe we got there too early at 2-pm. Unless they pay for my next meal, I would not go back.Special Features:

Hey, I guess you reached this page to get some information about me. Well I'm born 1984 in Kaltenkirchen, which is a city in Germany. I'm working as system administrator (Mostly Linux, administrated BSD and OpenSolaris, also, tho), database administrator (MySQL) and web developer. Currently I'm also visiting an evening-school to continue my education. If everything goes well, I will have a technical diploma in 2013. Got my technical diploma in 2013. I like Martial Arts, as I did Karate a few years. I also took a look at different martial arts like Judo, Wing-Tsun, Ninjutsu, Aikido and some more, but well, Shotokan- and Shoto-Ryu-Karate is what I did the longest time. I also like skating and swimming. Apart from that I love reading fantasy and star trek novels and of course I also watch related movies. I'm unsure what's my favorite Band, because I like very different sorts of music. For example the German band "Die Ärzte". I also like Garbage and Oasis.. So.. My music-taste is quite mixed. My favorite Movie is "Forbidden Kingdom" with Jet Li and Jackie Chan – I really like movies with Jet Li. Countries? Well I've been to Poland and Italy. I really like Poland (well Italy was nice, too, bit hot). Countries I'd like to visit are: Sweden, Norway, China, Japan and France. I really hope I can go some day to visit China and Japan, let's see. Still not enough information?

You might wonder, why i did the secondary school twice. That's easy to explain. As you can see, I finished the first around 2001 the second around 2010, so I haven't been to any school for like 9 years. Of course I thought it might be useful, to start from the ground up, to have some sort of "warm up". That is why I did the secondary school again. Also some note about the German school system: Basically there's the Kindergarten in which you start (same in other countries I guess). Right after that you're going to some elementary school for about 4 Years. Right after that you're going to one of three possible secondary schools: Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium. Hauptschule is the worst and Gymnasium the best (that doesn't mean people from a Hauptschule aren't intelligent or something, in fact there have been many intelligent people). To study at a university you need to go to Gymnasium first. So people from a Hauptschule or a Realschule can't study at a university (except in some rare/special cases). So as you can see above: First I finished the Hauptschule (the worst) then I took a break for 9 years, then I finished the Hauptschule (the worst) then I finished Realschule (the middle) and now I'm doing Abitur (Gymnasium) and now I finished Fachabitur which allows me to study at a Fachhochschule.

adidas Originals Superstar 2 – Black – White
September 6th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
Run-DMC will forever be connected with the original white/black colorway on the adidas Superstar. The pioneering hip-hop trio sported Shelltoes more than any other shoes during their 1980s heyday, but DJ Jam Master Jay in particular was also fond of a black/white makeup on the Ultrastar. It's rendered here on the Superstar 2, and in this release, adidas Originals has an iconic design on par with the game's great staples. Check it out from more angles below, then pick up a pair at shops like Kith.

Well done! Live At Leeds has always been one of my top bass albums. You really nailed the tone. I use Hiwatts myself
All I want is a video showing how you do that picking thing with your fingers.

"I got two dream people to do that. I wrote with Atticus Ross (I couldn't believe that), and I asked if he would recommend anyone that Nine Inch Nails had worked with – because they are so good at making it pretty and dirty as well, which I so wanted to get across with the album. He highly recommended this guy Michael Patterson who mixed like The Social Network soundtrack and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and hip hop stuff like P Diddy and Dr Dre, and then also pop stuff like Pink. I messaged him and we met up at SXSW to see if he liked me. He did about half the songs and we got a Swedish guy, Anders Hvenare, to mix all the Swedish tracks. He's mixed I Blame Coco and the Miike Snow record as well – it's amazing it all sounds cohesive."
Zowie's album is already out in New Zealand, an international release date has yet to be set.

Airpush advertising avoid! Crap interface, poor selection, and now airpush hijacking my phone, placing bookmarks on screen, bogus offers under the guise of something officially Sprint. Shame on you!

Great sound of kookaburra and all the others.

Good stuff

The actual design of how you choose which call you want to hear can be frustrating. You have to cycle through all of them just to get to another. Also, clicking the picture again to shut-off any particular sound that you have selected, would make this app

You can talk and bring the birds right to you! Great when I am walking in the woods, in an open field or standing outside my house.

Tarp Telescopic Pole
A clever telescopic pole that can be used with the majority of tarps made with eyelets.
FREE UK DELIVERY on orders over £30
Product Features
As an alternative, you may prefer.....
|Useful but big
|Reviewed By Andrew, 02 Jul 2013
I bought a couple of these to make more use of my tarp other than using walking poles. They are straightforward to use and as they are telescopic the three sections can easily be adjusted by twisting them like a walking pole which makes rigging a level tarp on uneven ground very easy.
|Well made and versatile
|Reviewed By Paul, 11 May 2011
Was initially a bit sceptical about paying £34 for two poles to support my tarp but now having used them to provide shelter over a rainy and windy weekend camping trip I can appreciate that I wouldn't have got away with anything not as strong. Great that they are adjustable and are relatively low in weight. Just wish they were a little shorter when compacted.

800 HP, carbon fiber composites, an amazing look, and much, much more. Sounds like the description of an amazing supercar, but it's actually the description of the smallest coupe in Porsche 's line-up: the Cayman . Of course, this extraordinary vehicle only began as a Cayman . Then, Alpha-N Performance got their hands on it and transformed it into the new and improved Alpha One.
For starters, the tuner replaced the car's original body panels with new ones made of carbon fiber composites. The front panels actually resemble the ones from the upcoming Porsche 918 Spyder , but other than that and the Cayman's body line flowing through the doors and roof, everything else is new.
The tuner hasn't revealed any other details on the upcoming Alpha One, but it is clear that the tuning package will make the Porsche Cayman longer, lower, and wider. Then, of course, there's that 800 HP just waiting to be thrashed around in a sports car that only weighs 2820 lbs. The suspension on this thing better be killer because standard issue just isn't going to cut it.
Let's just say, we can't wait to see what other details are in store for all of us when the Alpha One makes its debut in the upcoming weeks.

Josef asked mom if he could create his own sign, and promptly staged a one-man protest. His sign, written in pencil on a tiny sketchpad, read simply, "God Hates No One."
Hey Josef Miles, you're a rock star.
Finally got my copy in the mail. Really great read. Good for you, Laura Jane Grace! (Taken with instagram)
Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Scott Widak has Down syndrome and is terminally ill with liver disease, and he loves to receive mail. So his nephew Sean O'Connor recently posted his P.O. Box on Reddit, to see whether anyone might be interested in sending his uncle a letter: "One of my uncle's favorite things to do is open mail, and I thought that if he got a lot of mail it would cheer him up."
It's been a month since the post, and Widak, an artist, has received mail from all over the world, including the United States, Sweden, Finland, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Redditors have sent heartfelt letters, custom artwork, art supplies, DVDs, and personal keepsakes.
"The mail that's arrived has all been extremely positive and thoughtful," O'Connor says. "My family and I are amazed at how so many strangers could come together for a random act of kindness."
Don't miss the rest of the pics — they'll make your Monday.
Single-Serving Site of the Day: Jag Nara — a "part-time daydreamer and part-time designer" — is 104 days into "365 Illustrations," in which she creates one minimalist portrait per day for a year. Her subjects include musicians, actors, artists, superheroes, and relatively famous figures, though so far they appear to be limited to men.
Breaking News of the Day: Obama Backs Gay Marriage: President Obama publicly announced his support for gay marriage in an interview today with Robin Roberts, ABC News is reporting. The president had come under fire this week for remaining mum on the subject after Joe Biden and Arne Duncan became the second and third members of his Cabinet to declare their support of same-sex marriage.
Another reason to give my vote to Obama/Biden. You da man, Barry!
No Doubt Reunion of the Day: After a 10-year hiatus, Gwen Stefani has reunited with bandmates Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont to record No Doubt's sixth studio album, due September 25. Even better, the band has launched a series of behind-the-scenes webisodes that kick off with the recording of the track "Push & Shove," a No Doubt collaboration with producers Major Lazer and Jamaican artist Busy Signal.
The as-yet-untitled album will also include a "party-reggae blast track" called "Steady Down," and a "ska-pop tune" track called "One More Summer."
Aww yeeeeee
Beagle Liberation of the Day: At least 30 beagle puppies were rescued this weekend by animal rights activists from a notoriously inhumane breeding facility in Italy. Green Hill 2001 farms the animals out to vivisection labs, where the dogs are subjected to live experimental research and then death. Members of the Animal Liberation Front of Italy climbed over barbed wire fences on the grounds of Green Hill, then managed to squirrel the animals out through a breach in the fencing.
According to one ALF protester, "all the animals had a strong smell of urine, and one puppy about 8 months old, has an incision that runs the full length of his abdomen." (See more photos here; heads up — some are graphic.)
Twelve activists were arrested in the liberation.
[thanks, rachel!]
This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Chrishaun "CeCe" McDonald, a 23-year-old transgender woman, was walking in Minneapolis after midnight last June with a group of friends, all black and either queer or allied. As they passed the Schooner Tavern, the group was harassed by several older, white bar patrons, who called McDonald and her friends "fa**ots," "ni**ers," and "chicks with d*cks." Allegedly, the group even suggested that McDonald — who is in transition from a man to a woman — was "dressed as women" in order to "rape" Dean Schmitz, one of the harassers.
McDonald defended herself and her friends, saying they didn't tolerate hate speech. But when one of the bar patrons smashed a glass in McDonald's face, puncturing her cheek, a fight ensued, and Schmitz, 47, was fatally stabbed. McDonald now faces two charges of second-degree murder in his death; in a videotaped interview with police after the fight, she allegedly admitted that she took out a pair of scissors to scare Schmitz, and that Schmitz ran into them during the fight. McDonald says the stabbing was accidental, and that she acted in self-defense.
Supporters say the case is symptomatic of the bias against transgender people and African-Americans in the criminal justice system. More than 15,000 have signed an online petition asking the Hennepin County Attorney to drop the second-degree murder charges against McDonald.
"Amazingly, in the aftermath of this racist and transphobic attack, the only person facing charges is CeCe McDonald- the victim…We refuse to allow racism and transphobia, on Minneapolis streets or in Minneapolis courts. We support CeCe. We are waiting for County Attorney Michael Freeman to honor his commitment, in his words 'to serve all of our citizens with understanding, dignity, and respect' by dropping the charges against CeCe McDonald."
McDonald's trial begins Monday.
Ukrainians light candles at the memorial for 'liquidators' who died during cleaning up works after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in 1986 in Slavutich, Ukraine, April 26, 2012. "The Chernobyl disaster underscored that mankind must be extra careful in using nuclear technologies," Ukraine's president Viktor Yanukovych said during a ceremony Thursday inaugurating the initial assembly of a gigantic arch-shaped steel containment building to cover the remnants of the exploded reactor. "Nuclear accidents lead to global consequences. They are not a problem of just one country, they affect the life of entire regions."
The April 26, 1986, explosion spewed a cloud of radiation over much of the northern hemisphere, forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes in heavily hit areas of Ukraine, Belarus and western Russia. The Soviet government initially tried to hush up the explosion and resisted immediately evacuating nearby residents. It also failed to tell the public what happened or instruct residents and cleanup workers on how to protect themselves against radiation, which significantly increased the health damage from the disaster.
A shelter called the "sarcophagus" was hastily erected over the damaged reactor, but it has been crumbling and leaking radiation in recent years and a new confinement structure is necessary.
Yanukovych said 2 million people have been hurt by the tragedy and it was the state's obligation to protect and treat them.
But his reassurances fell flat with some Chernobyl cleanup workers and victims. About 2,000 protesters staged an angry rally Thursday outside parliament in Kiev, demanding an increase in compensations and pensions.

Elderly Animals of the Day: Shortly after Isa Leshko spent a year caring for her mother as she suffered from Alzheimer's, she encountered a blind elderly horse living on a relative's property. Leshko spent the afternoon photographing him, and realized that she had found a project that would help her deal with her mother's illness. She began to visit sanctuaries across the U.S. to photograph animals that were elderly or at the end stages of their lives.
"I am creating these photographs to gain a deeper understanding about what it means to be mortal and to exorcise my fears of aging. … I also want my images to inspire greater empathy toward animals, particularly farm animals. It is rare to see a farm animal that has actually lived its natural life span given that most of these animals experience brutality and death early in their lives. … I want to challenge people's assumptions about these animals and inspire reforms to the treatment of farm animals."
The photos can be seen here — and don't miss the video.
Wow. The video made me tear up… definitely recommended. Really sad but really beautiful.
Follow-Up of the Day: Caine's Arcade Gets a Real Pinball Machine: The incredible story of Caine's Arcade just keeps getting better.
After his cardboard arcade became THE hot spot in East L.A., 9-year-old Caine Monroy was invited to visit pinball shop Pins and Needles, where owner Molly introduced him to pro flipper — and world champ — Keith Elwin. Then, she offered him his choice of vintage pinball machines, valued at up to $3,000, to round out his business. (Caine has yet to decide which machine to call his own.)
Meanwhile, donors around the world have pledged more than $100,000 for Caine's Scholarship Fund, announced just three days ago by filmmaker Nirvan Mullick to help send Caine to college.
Finally, the Caine's Arcade Facebook page has two intriguing announcements: Official T-shirts are in the works (so don't be fooled by knockoffs), and the Caine's Arcade Theme Song is available for download, with 100 percent of profits going toward the Scholarship Fund.
This is the coolest story ever. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside :)
Follow-Up of the Day: George Zimmerman Charged in Death of Trayvon Martin: Special Prosecutor Angela Corey has charged George Zimmerman with second-degree murder in the February 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin. She confirmed in a press conference that Zimmerman was taken into custody earlier today in Florida.
Zimmerman faces life in prison, if convicted. A charge of first-degree murder was ruled out because a grand jury won't be empaneled, in accordance with Florida law.
On Kony 2012: The Visible Victims Speak: Considering that Kony 2012 — the most viral video in Internet history — exploits the suffering of northern Ugandans to raise money, Victor Ochen, a victim of the Lord's Resistance Army and a founder of the nonprofit African Youth Initiative Network (AYINET), thought it only right that they should get to see it too.
Ochen traveled to the city of Lira, where he and his NGO set up a makeshift outdoor theater so locals could watch Invisible Children's much-discussed fundraising campaign, and decide for themselves if it helps or hurts.
According to a statement released by AYINET, over 35,000 people attended the screening, many of whom rode in on bikes from neighboring villages. Additionally, some two million northern Uganda residents tuned in to a live broadcast of the audio aired simultaneously on five FM radio stations.
Al Jazeera reporter Malcolm Webb, who was on hand to gauge people's reactions, filed the following account:
People I spoke to anticipated seeing a video that showed the world the terrible atrocities that they had suffered during the conflict, and the ongoing struggles they still face trying to rebuild their lives after two lost decades.
The audience was at first puzzled to see the narrative lead by an American man – Jason Russell – and his young son.
Towards the end of the film, the mood turned more to anger at what many people saw as a foreign, inaccurate account that belittled and commercialised their suffering, as the film promotes Kony bracelets and other fundraising merchandise, with the aim of making Kony infamous.
A woman Webb spoke with afterwards compared IC's approach of selling products with Kony's image to "selling Osama Bin Laden paraphernalia post 9/11," which she felt would be offensive to many Americans, irrespective of how "well-intentioned" the fundraising campaign was.
Last night's screening was AYINET's first and last. It announced this morning that it had suspended further screenings of Kony 2012 in light of the outrage it caused. Wrote Ochen: "It was very hurtful for victims and their families to see posters, bracelets and t-shirts, all looking like a slick marketing campaign, promoting the person most responsible for their shattered lives."
"Why give such criminals celebrity status?" asked people in attendance, according to AYINET. "Why not make the plight of the victims and the war-ravaged communities, people whose sufferings are real and visible, the focus of a campaign to help?"
Words Of Wisdom of the Day: Washington state Rep. Maureen Walsh (R-Walla Walla) chokes back tears as she speaks candidly in support of the state's bill to legalize same-sex marriages.
The legislation passed yesterday by a vote of 55 to 43 and now heads to Gov. Chris Gregoire, who has already promised to sign it into law.
Money: "My daughter came out of the closet a couple of years ago and you know what I thought I was going to agonize about that. Nothing's different. She's still a fabulous human being and she met someone she loves very much. And some day, by God, I want to throw a wedding for that kid. And someday I hope that's what I can do."
BLESS. THIS. WOMAN. She seriously said it all, and she put it so simply. Everyone needs to watch this video and listen to what she has to say. It's about EQUALITY. Members of same-sex marriage couples, just like members of different-sex couples, are humans. I'm sorry, but does the US constitution not guarantee equal rights to ALL human beings? Same-sex marriage needs. to. be. legal. in. all. states.

Every Christmas mom would try to sneak things I "needed" under the tree. She started small—socks with pompoms, high-waisted underwear and headbands that squeezed my brain like forceps. "I really needed these," I'd say politely before I tossed the useful yet unwanted items to the side and reached for what I hoped would be the Snoopy Sno-Cone maker that I had to have and would later use all of once before I realized that shaving ice with a cheese grater was neither fun nor fulfilling. As I grew older, the gifts mom thought I "needed" grew in size and scope. A warm coat. A clock radio. A set of encyclopedias. I tolerated receiving these items—after all, I always used them. And then one day, right around the 5th grade, it happened. I suddenly liked the boy I had kicked in the crotch the week prior, I started wearing deodorant, and something practical finally topped my Christmas list. I was growing up.
I remember wanting a pair of boots—these adorable brown leather ankle boots with heavy soles and wool lining peeking out from the tops. I didn't merely want them; I needed them.
On Christmas morning, I feverishly tore through every box that looked as if it could hold those boots, my disappointment growing with every pair of high-waisted panties. Soon all the presents were open and I sat there, bootless and broken. And then my mom said, "Oh, it looks like we forgot a present!"
From behind the chair she lifted a box that could only be my beloved boots. I chicken-danced around the room in my new shoes until I almost passed out and didn't take them off until the 6th grade.
As I got older, I found myself missing that spontaneous urge to launch into the chicken-dance of joy at Christmas. I was always delighted by the thoughtful gifts I received, but I hadn't felt that spastic surge of utter fulfillment from any one gift in a long while. I began to worry that the magic of gifting was losing its luster.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, my parents flew across the country to share an early Christmas with my family. As we sat around the tree and exchanged gifts, I enviously watched my 6-year-old daughter rip through each present, breathlessly proclaiming to her grandparents, "It's just what I wanted!" over and over again. We laughed at her excitement and delighted in her joy over getting the things she wanted, but didn't need.
And that's when it hit me: I have everything I've ever wanted. I have everything I need.
The chicken-dance may have gone the way of the Snoopy Sno-Cone maker, but there's no real loss. When we are young, we simply want things—a big wheel, Stretch Armstrong, the crayon some other kid is holding—and then we get older and start to determine the things we actually need, like food, family, high-waisted underwear … and one day, if you're really lucky, you wake up and realize that you're healthy, surrounded by a loving family, have a roof over your head and a couple of pairs of decent boots in your closet. No one boxed-and-bowed item could elevate your existence any more; your cup already runneth over.
Growing older didn't tarnish the magic of Christmas; it made it shine even brighter.Read More From Blogs.
The best christmas memory is when my dad was still with us and all of my family would gather at the house to see dad and mom. The food was great and the fun didnt stop until the evening was over. I was blessed with a beautiful daughter who never got to meet her grampy, but she has heard all about him. This year my daughter asked me, "mom if you could have anything what would it be?" I told her cooking tools and anything Paula. I have never cooked a recipe by Paula and had it go wrong. I love her and all that she does. Merry Chirstmas to all, hope you holidays are yummy!

Ron Klempner, interim executive director of the National Basketball Players Associate, spoke on Tuesday about the NBA's controversial flopping rules, saying the the group is seeking an arbitration hearing since the National Labor Relations Board recently refused to make a decision about the legality of said rules:
We are now in the process of scheduling a case with our arbitrator to determine whether the NBA is allowed to unilaterally impose discipline in an area that exceeds the commissioner's authority without the consent of the union. It's a subject they need to bargain with us, and we hope that the arbitrator will find that any type of discipline must be collectively bargained (CBS Sports).
When the rules were originally challenged by former executive director Billy Hunter, NBA spokesman Tim Frank spoke in their defense: "Our adoption of an anti-flopping rule is fully consistent with our rights and obligations under the collective bargaining agreement and the law."
Nineteen players received flopping warnings last season (the first NBA season in which the rules were implemented), and five of those players were fined $5,000 for "second offenses": JJ Barea, Gerald Wallace, Omer Asik, Reggie Evans, and Kevin Martin. Eight other players were fined smaller amounts for single offenses: LeBron James, Tony Allen, Jeff Pendergraph David West, Lance Stephenson, Chris Bosh, JR Smith, and Derek Fisher.

W&L Notes The Death Of History Professor Emeritus Bob McAhren
From W&L President Ken Ruscio
"I regret to tell you that Bob McAhren, professor emeritus of history at the University, died today at Stonewall Jackson Hospital.
"Bob taught at the University from 1966 until his retirement in June 2005.
"A native of Sioux City, Iowa, Bob went to Southern Methodist University for his undergraduate studies, receiving the B.A. with high honors. He stayed in Texas for graduate studies and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin.
"Bob taught early American history and the history of American social and intellectual thought. He had done work in graduate school on the history of the movement to regulate child labor.
"For 10 years, from 1988 to 1998, Bob was head of the department of history.
In addition, he was associate dean of the college from 1971 to 1977 and served as the first chair of the Institutional Effectiveness Committee, beginning in 1990. In this capacity, Bob recognized the importance of institutional research and long-range planning to the University and was instrumental in raising that function to the point where we now have an office devoted to this role.
"Bob was also justifiably proud of the work that he did as chair of the Faculty Task Force on Inclusiveness.
"Kim and I send our deepest sympathies to his colleagues and friends. We count ourselves among his friends and admirers, and share the sadness that we know this announcement will bring, even as we celebrate his career and many contributions to the community.
"Arrangements have not yet been finalized but will be shared with the community when they are available."

flip slideshow order
Version: 0.1.8.7
We need to show pics in order from newest to oldest.
Easy to do by switching ordersort to DESC in bp-album-classes, function bp_albumx_default_query_args
But how do I get the slideshow to also flip its order?
I tried swapping the Order By in
if($adjacent == 'next'){ in public static function query_pictures
without success.
So any hints on how to get the slideshow to also move from
newer(left arrow) and older(right arrow) ?
