And tweeted about it. With a picture.Of her ultrasound.
"Rest in peace little angel. September 17, 2012," wrote McKay.
In response to sympathetic responses from followers who (naturally) assumed she had miscarried, McKay elaborated:
"Thank you all for the love and support but I want you to know I did not miscarry. I chose abortion. I chose it out of fear. I feel like I made a mistake and I can't take it back."
Thank you all for the love and support but I want you to know I did not miscarry. I chose abortion. I chose it out of fear. I feel like-- Jamie Mckay (@Jamie_McKay18) November 1, 2012
(She did, however, delete the picture after outraged Twittizens called her "sick," among other slurs.)
McKay also said that Ryan McElrath, her boyfriend and father of their 2-year-old daughter, Miah, "has been supportive through it all in case you all were wondering," adding that "he is the father of that child too. And he let me make my decisions."
Finally, McKay reassured the Twittersphere that she is using birth control, a contraceptive implant called Implanon.

Apart from the volume of the music from the adjacent restaurant being a tad distracting, we had an enjoyable evening and thoroughly enjoyed the food.
Aug 16, 2013
The ambience of the restaurant was very pleasing but the food was not the best. We have had much higher standards of Thai cuisine in terms of taste at much better prices. The prices didnt warrant the taste of the food which was pretty average.
Apr 26, 2013
I feel the service was a little slow. That can be improved a little. Othereise everything was perfect. Going there again? Definitely.

Have had better Thai food in food court. The vegetable green curry had literally 2 babycorn, lots of carrots and mushrooms a few green beans and more liquid (No Broccolli, no cauliflower)and the curry was blen normal Thai green curry is spicy everyone knows that. The vegetable curry with bean curd was disappointing again variety of vegetables was confined to carrots and mushrooms and 4 bean curd pieces. For the price we paid the quality of food was not worth it
Feb 07, 2013
I got an sms from you telling me that I would get 25% discount iff total food bill on code 4023. but when we got there the manager said that is is only 15% . I was wondering why you you text me that it is 25% yet that is not the case. It is misleading dont you think? The food was good and the service too!
Jan 28, 2013
Una cena tailandese veramente all'altezza, ottima la qualità del cibo ed il servizio. Ideale per chi ama la cucina tailandese in una location tranquilla. Soltanto i vini un po cari. Thai dinner at a very, very good quality of food and service. Ideal for those who love Thai cuisine in a quiet location. Only the wines a bit expensive.

I took some guests to this restaurant after having gone there previously myself. The staff there told me that my round menu discount will apply on the bill, however after our meal the manager told us that they couldn't accept the round menu discount since it was a buffet that night. We had never been told before, even though I specifically asked about the discount before starting my meal. The manager just argued his point and refused to give us any discount. After having been to many restaurants in dubai, I was VERY disappointed with the lack of customer service displayed by the management at Thai Bistro. They have lost a faithful customer. I Would never go back.

The Cove Eleuthera Reemerges After $30 Million Renovation
May 1, 2013
By: Meagan Drillinger
Eleuthera remains an undiscovered paradise. Lying 45 miles east of Nassau, the island is 110 miles long and nearly a mile wide. The central location of The Cove Eleuthera allows resort guests the freedom to explore the island's magnificent shoreline and peaceful pink sand beaches. Five Star Alliance's sister publication, Luxury Travel Advisor, recently wrote about the Cove's renovation.
"The Bahamas is celebrating the rebirth of an island icon. Last month, The Cove reemerged after a $30 million renovation to become The Cove, Eleuthera, a 40-acre luxury resort of cottages and villas.
The new construction included two three-bedroom residential villas, each with private pool and staff. A two-story Sanctuary including 20 suites was also part of the new debut, along with eight Bush cottages and Bar Tony, a bar built into a point reaching 600 feet into the Caribbean Sea. All rooms and suites have iPod docking stations, 500 thread-count linens, 50-inch flat-screen TVs and more.
Significant improvements were put into the Library interior and open-air fine dining restaurant Freedom. A new 110-foot infinity pool overlooking the sea was also developed.
The resort debuted with total fanfare as guests feasted on Bahamian delicacies and were treated to performances from singer Aaron Neville and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band of New Orleans.
Getting There: The Cove, Eleuthera, wants guests to arrive in true VIP style. The resort's own private plane offers daily nonstop flights to and from Fort Lauderdale, FL, on its own Hawker 800XP. Daily flights are also offered from Fort Lauderdale and Miami to the Nassau and Eleuthera airports. A water taxi takes guests from North Eleuthera Airport and a Range Rover escorts guests to the hotel."

La Samanna Serves Up Wine & Rum Tastings
April 2, 2013
By: Five Star Alliance
Wine is to France, as rum is to the Caribbean is a good rule of thumb when thinking of spirits and vacationing. But, where can one go to experience both? How about La Samanna, a private resort located on the Caribbean isles of the French-side of Central Saint Martin? The location and cultures on this island alone brings the best of spirit worlds together: rum and wine. If you are a guest at La Samanna, the property offers both wine and rum tastings at their on-site restaurant: La Cave. Guided by an expert sommelier for your wine and rum tastings, guests get some education and the opportunity to sample some of the finest wines and rums France and the Caribbean has to offer.
Accompanied by a selection of fruits and cheese to pair your wine and or rum with, both activities can be done conveniently at La Samanna's restaurant La Cave. With a majority of rum production taking place in the Caribbean, La Samanna has followed suit and delighted to announce that they have produced their own line of rum. Partnered with a renowned rum producer, the property's rum can be tasted amongst many other of the region's finest. The tastings have been said to be an experiential learning experience, as many guests discover how to mix different rums to create certain tastes, and/or learning about great wine and cheese and fruit pairings.

The New Hotel Saint Barth Isle de France
February 27, 2013
By: Ruthanne Terrero
Five Star Alliance's sister publication, Luxury Travel Advisor, recently wrote an article about the new Hotel St. Barth Isle de France. Read more here:
When you arrive, you'll get the vibe that everything at Hotel St. Barth Isle de France is pure white against a blue, blue sea. And it is white and fresh, thanks in large part to a recent renovation to its garden bungalows and public areas. We were able to get a good walk-through to one of the just-turned-two Flamands Villas (No. 43). There are two of these enormous three-bedroom suites which measure 4,300 square feet in size. Smart Move: Each of the bedrooms is of equal size, with a private bath, so there's no stress about divvying up the sleeping quarters if you're sharing with other couples or on a girlfriend getaway. More good things: Bathrooms have double sinks and roomy tubs. Both suites as well have full, real working kitchens near their respective living rooms, which open up to a terrace, complete with a plunge infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean and they have direct access to the beach. Other lush touches? Each has an exercise room and a home cinema. Life is good.
If a Flamands Villa isn't large enough for your special party, consider adding on a suite next door, which measures 1,300 square feet.
What we loved: Lunch at the alfresco La Case de l'Isle overlooking the sea is a must, even if you're just in town for the day off a luxury cruise. The menu is simple and French and the crowd that gathers is cosmopolitan and international and usually quite tan and fashionable. We started off with the refreshing soupe glacée de petits pois, bruschetta de prosciutto et poivrons grilles, which is an iced pea soup served with a prosciutto ham, and grilled peppers bruschetta. For a unique dish to share with your dining companion, consider the "Wok de gambas et poulet marine," which is a shrimp and marinated chicken wok dish served with Thai noodles. (P.S.: A continental breakfast is included in the room rate.)
The spa here has four treatment rooms and uses Natura Bissé and Intraceuticals skincare products. There's also a Spa Pavilion set in the resort's tropical gardens.

Public-Speaking Tips
According to Reader's Digest, public speaking is the No. 1 fear in America, so here are some tips that will relieve you of some of your anxiety.
First, as far as I know, Barbara Helleen, who suffered a fatal heart attack while speaking to the Women's Club of Rosendale, N.Y., Alben W. Barkley, former vice president of the United States, and Arthur MacArthur, father of Douglas MacArthur, are the only people to have died while speaking in public. There have been literally billions of speeches made, yet few fatalities while doing so. Message: It's safe to make a speech.
Second, remember that if you were to take an old Georgia mule — or, for that matter, a Tennessee or Florida one — and lead him across the stage in front of thousands of people, he would almost go to sleep on the trip. However, if you were to take a thoroughbred race horse across that same stage, he would be jumping all over the place. Message: If you get a little nervous before you speak, just be grateful you're a thoroughbred and not a mule.
My third suggestion is don't try to impress the skeptics, the negative ones or the sourpusses of life. As you stand up to speak, whether in front of 10 or 10,000, pick out a smiling face and talk directly to that person. After a few seconds, shift your eyes to the smiling face of another one, and yet another. Continue to do this throughout your talk, and the sourpusses will probably come around, but in the meantime, don't let them discourage you or affect your attitude.
My final tip is anything you can say to localize your talk — to make it applicable to specific people, groups or situations — will endear you to your audience. These thoughts will help you to survive, and with enough practice, you might even thrive! See you at the top!

The rape allegations were made at Walled Lake Central High School, where the girl was a freshman. E-mail exchanges between administrators and the girl's parents, who insisted the district provide her with a facilitator in mainstream classes, showed they were frequently at odds over her education and other issues. / PATRICIA BECK/Detroit Free Press
Julian and Thal Wendrow had an increasingly acrimonious relationship with Walled Lake Consolidated Schools long before their daughter's typed statement alleging rape, court records show.
Once they became convinced their mute, autistic child was communicating through an assisted-typing technique known as facilitated communication (FC), the Wendrows sent daily e-mails concerning their daughter to teachers and administrators.
In the three years their daughter used FC, the Wendrows had more than 3,000 e-mail exchanges with the school district and had dozens of meetings with teachers and staff.
By the time the allegations surfaced, records show, the district and the Wendrows were deeply at odds.
Frequent, persistent demands
The Wendrows, in their daily barrage of e-mails, demanded that their special-needs daughter be placed in general education classes and sometimes even in advanced placement classes. Julian Wendrow, her father, wanted her in honors biology "because she is very good at science."
The district didn't address that request, but testing before the girl used FC showed she was functioning at the level of a toddler. The girl couldn't draw a straight line, write her name or tie her shoes.
The e-mails were sometimes hourly.
Did the staff make sure she had water between each class so she stayed hydrated? Not just any water, but reverse-osmosis water kept in a steel container?
Could the staff please be more diligent in dressing her for gym? Her shoes must be tied with double knots, Wendrow insisted.
In one long e-mail, dated Sept. 24, 2007, he complained that school personnel took too long getting his daughter in her gym clothes. The girl couldn't dress herself without help and, if left unattended, would sometimes sit nude in the locker room until staff was alerted.
"It seems to me that you and the staff are taking too much time out of my daughter's day for changing. We can change her in three minutes at home so that should be about the same at school," he wrote, urging the school to develop a "swift changing regimen."
"We feel that with proper planning and efficient execution, all parties concerned are considered," he wrote to her teacher.
Frustration and fury
In the girl's first year in high school, the e-mails grew terse. Wendrow wanted to pick her teachers and monitor her classes and testing. When it became apparent she was failing both biology and math, the Wendrows were furious.
"The fault does not rest with her. It has to do with something/s that are/is being/not being done in terms of teaching. ... Your personal animus towards and dislike of me should have no bearing on what my daughter needs. You cannot in good conscience take (the) position that it's OK for her to fail math or anything else."
Walled Lake Central principal David Barry fired back: "Your remarks are off base and your judgments are incorrect. The district is providing reasonable accommodations for your daughter. ... To place the blame on your daughter's lack of understanding with the content with school officials is misguided."
In the weeks before the rape allegation, the relationship between the Wendrows and the school grew even more heated.
"With all due respect, the amount of time that this staff has given you, your wife and daughter is excessive and exceeds the amount of time given to any student we've ever had," Barry wrote to Wendrow. "I somewhat feel that anything we do will never be good enough."
Not long after that exchange, the Wendrows -- perhaps the most vocal supporters of FC in the state -- found themselves the victims of it.

~I would also like to say thank you for our fantastic harness which we have had for a couple of months. It is the only harness that my dog has not broken or slipped and we have had many! I have recommended it to numerous people. Many thanks!
Grace's harness arrived today and is a superb fit. Pictures on website don't do your work justice, and as a result, I'm going to replace my other dogs harness with one of yours as well.
Richard B
A huge thank you SASS! A friend whose dogs i walk recommended your walking harness, ours arrived within days of ordering, the forest green colour is awesome and the quality of the harness is brilliant. Our collie's old harness of a different brand was quite uncomfortable for him, he couldn't relax whilst wearing it, yet with this SASS one he acts the same as if he isn't wearing one, so he must love it too! It fits really well and the padding is perfect; the harness doesn't rub his short fur and it doesn't restrict his legs at all. The front d-ring is a nice addition for training lead walking with a double ended lead. Superb product & service and would recommend the walking harness to anyone with any breed of dog, especially active breeds. Many thanks again!
Thank you for your directions, they helped. You have been nothing but professional and we appreciate it. Thanks again!
Jesse C
What exemplary service, order received 11 am today. Thank you.
Mrs Dorothy A
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you very much for the harness. We have been out for two walks today and Alfie didn't escape from the harness!! After months of searching, numerous harnesses and possibly hundreds of pounds spent we have FINALLY a found one he can't back out of!!
Louisa D
I was recommended SASS equipment by friends who run with their dogs and can heartily agree. I've had several products and never had any issues. Superbquality of leads and harness that work in all terrain and through all seasons. Whenever I've contacted SASS they've been quick to respond with an updated status and friendly replies. Will definitely be buying from them again!

It would be a "spectacular error" to adopt a soft approach on cases of rape or attempt to rape and there cannot be any compromise or mediation in such cases, the Supreme Court said.
Minister of State for Home, Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary has said there is no proposal to bring any amendment to the law for criminalizing marital rape.
Police have arrested five men on charges of assaulting and raping two women tourists in Goa, a local official said late on Wednesday.
"Some days ago, two youths were arrested for raping the nun in Kolkata turned out to be Bangladeshi Muslims," said Minister of Road, Transport and Highways Gadkari.
The Haryana Police have arrested a law college student and are looking for two others for allegedly raping a 21-year-old girl.
A 28-year-old Bangladeshi, one of the main accused in the sexual assault of a septuagenarian nun at a Ranaghat convent school, has been arrested.
Government has concluded that concept of marital rape cannot be applied since marriage is treated as sacrament, or sacred, according to mindset of Indian society.
The measure comes after another key witness in the rape case against self-styled 'godman' Asaram Bapu was attacked in Panipat.

My Journey
View PIRATEPHILLIPS's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from PIRATEPHILLIPS
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
So, I have been on SparkPeople for a couple years now, at various levels of involvement. Having only lost about 7 pounds since I first started, I'm not sure if I'm super qualified to talk about my "journey." BUT...why not?
Because I am already within a healthy weight range, even when I was at my heaviest, I think I am able to be a lot more forgiving of myself. There has been very little "pain" involved in my journey--yes, there have been disappointments, and times when I have felt like I'm "missing out," but it has not become an obsession or anything that I dread.
An interesting shift has happened since I became more involved in SP this time around. It seems like several of the "small steps" I'd implemented in the past are now adding up. The small shifts in lifestyle change have helped with my overall energy, my health (I used to get sick 6 or 7 times a year. I did not get sick ONCE in the 2011/2012 school year, and was only sick once in 2012), my food choices (although I still go off the rails sometimes!) and my fitness. And I'm happier! Event though I'm only 7 pounds down (more, if you count the weight I GAINED after starting SP, then subsequently took off), I am grateful for the journey.
Now, with my fitness and my eating habits, I treat it with curiosity. What can I get my body to do now? What latent abilities will I discover? What recipe will knock my socks off? I have also learned a little bit about moderation. Why not have three Hershey kisses? Just be balanced!
SP kicked off a wonderful journey for me. The small, steady changes have given me a lot to work with. Ultimately, my attitude of healthy living is the best it has ever been and, despite some minor setbacks that I'm sure will occur, I know this attitude is a permanent change.

Quick pain relief
BY Liz Graham body+soul
Liz Graham and Lisa Guy bring you a handy and quick pain relief tip.
Next time you bang your hand on something, try crossing your arms - it just might relieve the pain. A new UK study has found crossing one's arms over the midline - an imaginary line running vertically down the centre of the body - can temporarily relieve hand pain because the action confuses the brain and makes the processing of sensation difficult.
Scientists are now testing the theory out on people with chronic pain in their hands and say this new discovery may lead to new clinical therapies to help reduce pain.

Change made in early release policy after 7 inmates forge papers
The chief circuit judge signed an order Monday that prohibits judicial orders from being accepted at drop-off boxes
Brendan Farrington
Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — At least seven inmates in Florida have used forged documents in attempts to escape from prison, including two killers who were mistakenly freed because of the paperwork, authorities said Tuesday.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement planned a news conference Tuesday to provide details about the phony paperwork. Agency spokeswoman Gretel Plessinger said so far they have discovered seven prisoners tried to escape with forged documents.
Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker were let out of a Panhandle prison because of the fake paperwork, which reduced their life sentences to 15 years, authorities said. They were captured Saturday at a Panama City motel.
Their release led the Corrections Department to change its policy for early prisoner releases. It also caused the chief judge in the judicial circuit that covers Orange and Osceola counties in metro Orlando to change how orders are filed in the clerks of courts offices. The forged paperwork that led to the release of Jenkins and Walker was filed in the Orange County Clerk of Courts office.
Chief Circuit Judge Belvin Perry signed an order Monday that prohibits judicial orders from being accepted at drop-off boxes. His order also requires judicial assistants to keep a log of all orders to change an inmate's prison sentence.
When the clerk's office gets an order to change a sentence, the clerk must verify with the judge or judicial assistant that the order was issued, according to the new measures.

Israel Warns 300,000 Lebanese To Flee Homes As Bombing Continues
Israel is warning some 300,000 Lebanese to abandon their homes as it edges towards a full-on ground invasion of southern Lebanon. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting thousands of Israeli troops are already operating inside the Lebanese border. The Israel Defense Forces is preparing to call up thousands of reserve troops. Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr told the Arabic television network Al Jazeera Thursday Lebanon would resist an Israeli attack.
30 Lebanese Killed in Israeli Strikes
Meanwhile, the bombardment of Lebanon continues. At least thirty Lebanese were killed Thursday. The Lebanese death toll stands at around 320 — almost all civilians. Earlier today, Israeli warplanes attacked Lebanon's main highway to Syria. Several passenger buses were set on fire but no casualties were reported.
The World Food Program says damage to roads and bridges has almost completely disrupted the food supply chain, hurting large numbers of the estimated 500,000 people displaced by the attack. The situation in the southern Lebanese village of Tyre is getting worse by the day. The Los Angeles Times reports: "Civil structure appears to have broken down almost completely. Ambulances haven't been able to operate. The dead are rotting in the rubble of smashed homes. Food and clean drinking water are running out."
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah told Al Jazeera Thursday the two captured Israeli soldiers will be freed only as part of a prisoner exchange through indirect negotiations. Nasrallah also denied Israel's claim it had struck a meeting of top Hezbollah leaders late Wednesday.
10 Israelis Injured in Hezbollah Rocket Attacks
Hezbollah continues to launch rockets at Israeli towns. Earlier today, ten Israelis were wounded in an attack on Haifa. One person sustained serious injuries. More than forty Katyusha rockets landed in several cities Thursday but no casualties were reported. Fifteen Israeli civilians have been killed by Hezbollah rockets since fighting began. Nineteen soldiers have lost their lives, including four on Thursday. Inside northern Israel, a United Nations observation post was badly damaged when it was struck by what officials said was an Israeli shell. At the United Nations, Secretary General Koffi Annan warned of a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon and appealed for a ceasefire.
- UN Secretary General Koffi Annan: "What is most urgently needed is an immediate cessation of hostilities for three vital reasons: first, prevent further loss of innocent life and the infliction of further suffering; second, to allow full humanitarian access to those in need; the third, give diplomacy the chance to work out a practical package of actions that would provide a lasting solution to the current crisis."
Annan went on to say he deplored Hezbollah's actions but also condemned what he called Israel's "excessive use of force." Israel and the United States continue to reject calls for a ceasefire.
- Israel's ambassador to the UN Dan Gillermnan: "For the first thing that must be addressed is the cessation of terror, before we even talk about cessation of hostilities. We will continue to do what we are continuing in Lebanon, not just to protect Israel and not just to bring our boys home, but to make sure that this cancerous growth in the heart of Lebanon is excised."
Meanwhile, Lebanese envoy Nouhad Mahmoud said Israel is attempting to destroy Lebanon.
- Lebanese envoy to the UN Nouhad Mahmoud: "It will take them very very long and they won't achieve anything, except the destruction of Lebanon. And I think that's what they aim for."
2,000 Americans Evacuated From Lebanon
At least 2,000 Americans were evacuated from Beirut Thursday, the largest single-day total so far. Evacuees have begun arriving in the US. On Thursday, more than 160 people landed in Baltimore. Tarek Dika, a resident of Michigan, talked about what he left behind.
- Tarek Dika: "It's high time that people in the United States wake up to what Israel is doing in Lebanon and what Israeli is doing in the Gaza strip. They are killing civilians. They are blowing up civilian infrastructure. They are bombing airports. They are bombing bridges. They are bombing roads, they are hitting families in vans."
Thousands Protest Lebanon Invasion in Latin America, Asia, Israel
Demonstrations against the attack on Lebanon continue world-wide. On Thursday, more than 2,000 people marched in Venezuela. An estimated 10,000 people took to the streets of Madrid. Other demonstrations were held in Mexico, El Salvador, Malaysia and Indonesia. Meanwhile in Israel, a group of Israeli peace activists held a demonstration in the city of Haifa.
- Demonstrator Edna Zaretzy-Toledano: "This is a group of people who oppose the war because the oppose shelling–people shelling civilians. They oppose war as a first means to solve conflicts."
House Votes to Back Lebanon Invasion
The US government continues to back Israel's actions. On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a resolution supporting the attack on Lebanon. The final vote was 410 to 8. The Senate unanimously passed a similar measure earlier this week.
4 Palestinians Killed in Latest Israeli Attack on Gaza Strip
Meanwhile, Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip. Earlier today, four Palestinians were killed in an attack on a home in Gaza City. The dead included a mother, her two children and a man Israel claims fired at Israeli troops. On Thursday, at least six Palestinians were killed and fifteen wounded as Israel shelled areas by land, sea, and air. A ten-year girl died Thursday of wounds sustained in an Israeli attack the day before. Meanwhile, an Israeli naval boat shelled a road used by Palestinian emergency vehicles. One ambulance was damaged in the attack. More than one hundred Palestinians have now died in the siege following the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. The Associated Press is reporting the Israeli army has officially adopted a policy of attacking homes in residential areas where Israel believes weapons are being stored. Israel has dropped leaflets warning Gaza's residents to destroy any weapons or ammunition in their homes or face "dangerous consequences." The attack on Gaza continues to receive international criticism. The International Committee of the Red Cross is demanding Israel end its of blockade of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Nablus. The Red Cross says Israel is hindering the movement of ambulances and patients. Meanwhile, a UN human rights official is calling for an independent inquiry into whether Israel's recent bombing of Gaza's only power station constitutes a war crime. The official, Paul Hunt, said the bombing has worsened Gaza's humanitarian crisis by leaving thousands without water and effective sewage disposal. According to Hunt, the attack may be a crime because international law prohibits attacks on civilians.
50 Killed in Iraq as Violence, Displacements Rise
In Iraq, at least fifty people were killed in violent attacks around the country Thursday. Newly-released data underscores the severity of the violence. On Thursday, Baghdad's morgue said it has taken in more than one thousand bodies so far this month. Meanwhile, the government said the number of people fleeing their homes is higher than previously thought. More than thirty thousand people have registered as refugees this month alone. The violence in Baghdad is only increasing. According to the US military, bombings and shootings increased by more than forty percent in the past week.
Afghan Inquiry Faults US Bombing for Civilian Deaths
In Afghanistan, a government inquiry has concluded a US-led bombing campaign was responsible for the deaths of at least ten civilians last week. The bombing occurred in a village in southern Afghanistan, where the US is leading a heavy offensive against Taliban insurgents. A government official says many of the dead were women and children. Another twenty-seven civilians were wounded in the attack.
Ex-Khmer Rouge Commander Dies in Cambodia
In Cambodia, a former Khmer Rouge military commander accused of committing genocide has died. Ta Mok, known also by his nickname "The Butcher" was one of just two surviving Khemer Rouge leaders facing prosecution for their roles in the Pol Pot regime.
Senate Approves Voting Acts Renewal
Here in the United States, the Senate voted Thursday to renew the 1965 Voting Rights Act for another quarter-century. The bill will now be sent to President Bush.
Bush Delivers First NAACP Address
The vote came hours after Bush gave his first ever address to the NAACP. He had previously refused to address the civil rights group during every year of his presidency. Several audience members made peace signs while at least two heckled the President over the current crisis in the Middle East.
Federal Court Rejects White House Bid to Dismiss Wiretap Suit
In other news, a federal judge has rejected the Bush administration's attempt to dismiss a major lawsuit over its secret domestic spy program. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is suing AT&T over its alleged involvement in the surveillance of US citizens. The Bush administration had argued the case could expose state secrets and jeopardize the war on terror. But U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker said the case is unlikely to reveal much new information since the spying has already received extensive public attention. The ruling could have a major impact on dozens of pending cases against telecom companies and the US government.
Poll: Lamont Leads Lieberman in Connecticut
In Connecticut, a new poll shows Ned Lamont is holding a razor thin lead over Senator Joe Lieberman ahead of next month's Democratic primary. Lieberman has vowed to run as an independent in the event of a loss. The same poll shows Lieberman would retain his Senate seat in a three way race along with Lamont and the Republican challenger. But Lamont would win the Senate seat in a two-person race against a Republican opponent.
Las Vegas Outlaws Feeding Homeless in Public Parks
And in Las Vegas, city council members have established a new punishable offense —-— feeding the homeless. On Wednesday, the Las Vegas City Council voted to outlaw the presence of mobile soup kitchens in public parks. Anyone caught serving food to the homeless will be subject to a misdemeanor charge. City officials say they've enacted the law because soup kitchens have kept people away from visiting public spaces. The American Civil Liberties Union has harshly criticized the measure, calling it both unconstitutional and unenforceable. But Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said the law will be enforceable because: "Certain truths are self-evident. You know who's homeless."

They couldn't have done more for us and the accommodation was lovely. Also the breakfast was very good. We would love to stay again!
I stayed at Mount Tavy Cottage for two nights in order to attend a friends wedding in nearby Tavistock. My only regret is that I didn't stay for longer!

Por Que No? for Alyssa's birthday dinner! (don't worry, the selfie stick obsession wares off soon… haha)
New Years Eve dinner at Pizza Smith! We spent the rest of the night playing games at a friend's house and were in bed just before midnight. #signsofaging
Kelsey made the most delicious carnitas tacos for her birthday dinner. I was sad she had to cook on her birthday but happy that she made the carnitas because we would have messed it up for sure! She got the recipe from THIS cookbook.While our husbands were out of town on the Precoa recruiting trip we tried a new restaurant downtown. This place is called The American Local and I highly recommend it! (not pictured: the best brussel sprouts I've ever had, mismatched silverware and tiny water glasses.)
This clearly is not a restaurant but I have no where else to include this gem. I made everyone take a selfie stick photo during the first marketing department meeting of the year because, why not?

Career advice: Watch what you post on the webAugust 18,2013A television reporter who was fired for some things she posted on her personal blog could have used advice from Robert L. Deitz.
So could a law school graduate who sent an email to prospective employers to which he attached a picture of himself wearing a T-shirt showing off his beefy biceps. He thought the photo would help him get a job. It hasnt yet. It did however generate a lot of Internet conversation on whether his job search strategy was crazy or clever.
Beware of everything you do on the Internet, Deitz writes in a self-published book, Congratulations You Just Got Hired: Dont Screw It Up, which is this months Color of Money Book Club selection. You can get it on Amazon.com.
Why listen to Deitz?
Hes held some pretty impressive jobs and worked alongside some very powerful people. Hes a Harvard Law School graduate who clerked for three Supreme Court justices, was a partner in two large law firms, and served as general counsel of the National Security Agency and as a senior aide to the director of the CIA. He retired from the CIA in 2012 and is now a professor of public policy at George Mason University.
In these various private- and public-sector jobs, I have seen lots of office behavior, he writes. I know what conduct will advance careers, what conduct will undermine them.
If you dont know how to handle yourself on the job, you can short-circuit your career, Deitz says. Think this is common sense? Clearly not for a lot of new professionals (or seasoned ones).
As I read Deitzs tips, I thought about the recent news stories of Shea Allen, who lost her television job for posting personal confessions such as this: Im frightened of old people and I refuse to do stories involving them or the places they reside. Or, If you ramble and I deem you unnecessary for my story, Ill stop recording but let you think otherwise. And: Ive stolen mail and then put it back. (maybe)
Really, given her job, she should have known better and should have heeded this advice from Deitz, Bits and bytes are forever. Beware of everything you do on the Internet, even at home on your own time.
To be honest, I wondered why the book is so slim just 44 pages.
Publishers wanted Deitz to produce a big book, he said. But all he wanted to do was provide nuggets of advice for new professionals.
Self-help books tend, in my view, to be bloated for no very good reason, he told me. I am not delusional. I do not believe that I have made some earth-shattering discovery. My purpose is to help young people avoid stupid mistakes as they begin their careers.
This is not rocket science, but simply common-sense advice from someone who has been around the block a few times. How long does this type of advice need to be? When our mothers told us to look both ways before we crossed the street, that instruction did not require a whole lot of words.
There are five short chapters covering work habits, dress, etiquette, e-stuff and résumés. Heres a sample of his advice:
Study your boss. If your boss is a micromanager, become used to getting down in the weeds over word choices.
Dont be the office whiner.
Learn to accept criticism.
Dont take casual day dress too far. Be sure to read the work environment so your casual dress doesnt offend.
Avoid arrogance. I can speak for that. My grandmother Big Mama gave me similar advice. She told me not to get full of myself. The people you pass going up the ladder will be the same people you might need going down.
Do not use your bosss name as a license. Deitz says he once sent a memo asking in the name of his boss for some information he wanted. When the answer arrived addressed to my boss, of course he circled his name on my request followed by a huge question mark.
Succeeding at work can often be determined by so much more than just doing your job. There are many other qualities, few of which are taught in school, that lead to success in the workplace. Or put another way, common sense isnt as common as you might think.
Ill be hosting a live online discussion about Congratulations You Just Got Hired: Dont Screw It Up at noon on Sept. 5 at washingtonpost.com/discussions. Deitz will join me to answer your questions.

Quisiera saber si pueden hacer algun tour x la zona como para matar el tiempo y para que conozcan ya que nunca han estado en Panama y es la oportunidad perfecta de visitar un poco.
