WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has sent Congress a draft of a resolution authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria. The draft follows through on Obama's decision, announced Saturday, to seek congressional approval for a strike against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. The resolution lays out the administration's claim that Assad's regime killed more than 1,000 last week in a chemical weapons attack. It says the objective of a U.S. military response would be to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade" the regime's ability to use chemical weapons going forward. The resolution authorizes Obama to use the military as he determines "necessary and appropriate" to serve that goal. The draft doesn't lay out a timeline for action. But it does say only a political settlement can resolve the Syrian crisis.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senior administration officials say President Barack Obama had planned to take military action against Syria without congressional authorization, but told aides Friday night that he had changed his mind. Obama announced Saturday that he wanted to launch a military strike, but would first seek lawmakers' approval. The officials describe a president overriding all his top national security advisers, who believe consulting with Congress was sufficient. The officials say Obama spent the week wrestling with Congress' role and made the decision Friday after a lengthy discussion with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough. They say Obama decided seeking approval would make the U.S. stronger even though he still believes he has the authority to act alone. The administration officials requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss Obama's decision-making by name.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he has decided that the United States should take military action against Syria in response to a deadly chemical weapons attack. But he says he will seek congressional authorization for the use of force. He says congressional leadership plans to hold a debate and a vote as soon as Congress comes back in September. Obama says he has the authority to act on his own, but believes it is important for the country to have a debate. Military action would be in response to a chemical weapons attack the U.S. says Syrian President Bashar Assad's government carried out against civilians. The U.S. says more than 1,400 Syrians were killed in that attack last week.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama is getting ready to speak about Syria from the White House. Obama has been considering a limited military strike against Syria, but he said Friday that he hadn't yet made a decision. The strike would be in response to a chemical weapons attack the U.S. says Syrian President Bashar Assad's government carried out against Syrians. The U.S. says more than 1,400 Syrians were killed in that attack last week. The White House is also briefing senators Saturday about Syria. Obama's statement is set for 1:15 p.m. EDT Saturday.
UN: Syria attack timing idea 'grotesque'UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The top U.N. spokesman says any notion that the departure of the U.N. chemical weapons inspection team from Syria opens a window for a U.S. attack is "grotesque." Spokesman Martin Nesirky notes that about 1,000 international and U.N. staff remain in Syria, and the United Nations is just as concerned about their welfare as it is about its team of inspectors. He also says the Syrian population would be vulnerable to harm. Nesirky spoke at a news conference Saturday after U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane briefed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the investigation into the alleged chemical weapons strike outside Damascus. Nesirky says Ban will be briefed further by the head of the UN chemical weapons team Sunday. The team is in Europe and will have to analyze the evidence in laboratories before making their report.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's national security team is preparing to brief senators on Syria as the White House readies for a possible military strike. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and other officials arrived Saturday morning at the White House. In the afternoon, senior officials plan to consult by phone with Senate Democrats and Republicans. The calls will be unclassified, meaning officials will be limited in what they can say. Secretary of State John Kerry, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, also will participate. The briefing comes a day after the administration released an intelligence report concluding that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government killed more than 1,400 last week in a chemical attack. Obama says the U.S. is considering a limited strike in response.
WASHINGTON (AP) - As the U.S. edges toward a possible punitive military strike against Syria, residents of Damascus are stocking up on food and other necessities with no evident sign of panic. President Barack Obama said on Friday he's weighing "limited and narrow" action, accusing Bashar Assad's government of launching a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,429 people -- far more than previous estimates -- including more than 400 children. The White House will brief Republican senators in a conference call Saturday at the request of Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. The Syrian government says the administration claims are "flagrant lies" akin to faulty Bush administration assertions before the Iraq invasion that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. A Foreign Ministry statement read on state TV said that "under the pretext of protecting the Syrian people, they are making a case for an aggression that will kill hundreds of innocent Syrian civilians." One resident of Damascus says he's "not afraid from the Western threats to Syria." He says "they created the chemical issue as a pretext for intervention, and they are trying to hit Syria for the sake of Israel." Obama said he has not yet made a final decision on a response to the suspected chemical attack. But he said it would not involve "boots on the ground."
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is looking to reassure Americans who may want to avoid additional military conflicts, after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He says he's considering "limited and narrow" action against Syria -- but not a "boots-on-the-ground" approach. Obama told reporters that he has a strong preference for multilateral action. But France appears to be his only major ally for a possible strike on Syria.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he hasn't made a final decision about a military strike against Syria. But he says he's considering a limited and narrow action in response to a chemical weapons attack that he says Syria's government carried out last week. Obama says that attack was a challenge to the world and threatens U.S. national security. Obama's comment came after the U.S. released an intelligence assessment that found with "high confidence" that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government carried out a chemical weapons attack last week. The U.S. says the attack killed more than 1,400 people. Obama spoke before meeting at the White House with three Baltic leaders.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. knows based on intelligence that the Syrian regime carefully prepared for days to launch a chemical weapons attack. Kerry says Syrian regime personnel were on the ground for three days beforehand, making preparations. He says regime elements were told to prepare by putting on gas masks. Kerry says the U.S. also knows where the rockets were launched from. He says the rockets came from regime-controlled areas. Kerry also says a senior regime official confirmed that the weapons were used and was afraid it would be discovered.
The U.S. has released a public report on intelligence gathered about last week's deadly attack. President Barack Obama is preparing for a possible military strike in response.
Kerry: 1,429 killed in Syrian chemical attackWASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State John Kerry says the chemical attack this month in Syria killed 1,429 people, including at least 426 children. Those numbers are significantly higher than what Syrian activists and aid workers have reported from Syria. The death toll is contained in a declassified intelligence assessment released by the Obama administration at the same time Kerry was speaking about the Syrian attack. The administration blames the Syrian regime for the deaths.
NBCNEWS.COM - Nearly 80 percent of Americans believe President Barack Obama should receive congressional approval before using force in Syria, but the nation is divided over the scope of any potential strike, a new NBC News poll shows.
Fifty percent of Americans believe the United States should not intervene in the wake of suspected chemical weapons attacks by Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to the poll.
But the public is more supportive of military action when it's limited to launching cruise missiles from U.S. naval ships - 50 percent favor that kind of intervention, while 44 percent oppose it.
The two-day survey was conducted as the Obama administration weighs launching strikes against Syria for the alleged use of chemicals weapons in its violent civil war, as well as amid growing demands by U.S. lawmakers that Congress should have a voice in any debate to authorize force.
On Thursday night, the Obama administration briefed congressional leaders in its effort to make the case for military intervention.
Also on Thursday, Britain's parliament rejected a motion urging an international response to the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government. But White House officials told NBC News that the administration was prepared to go it alone. "As we've said, President Obama's decision-making will be guided by what is in the best interests of the United States," Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House and National Security Council, said in a statement.
In this new NBC poll, 50 percent of respondents oppose the United States taking military action in response to Syria's suspected use of chemical weapons, compared with 42 percent who support it. And 58 percent agree with the statement that the use of chemical weapons by any country violates a "red line" that requires a significant U.S. response, including the possibility of military action.
Still, a whopping 79 percent of respondents – including nearly seven-in-10 Democrats and 90 percent of Republicans – say the president should be required to receive congressional approval before taking any action.
The poll also finds that only 21 percent think taking action against the Syrian government is in the national interest of the United States. By comparison, 33 percent disagree and 45 percent don't know enough to have an opinion. And just 27 percent say that U.S. military force will improve the situation for Syrian civilians, versus 41 percent who say it won't.
The NBC poll also shows that President Obama's overall job-approval rating has dropped one point since last month to 44 percent, which is tied for his lowest mark in past NBC News/Wall Street Journal surveys.
He gets even lower marks on foreign policy: Just 41 percent approve of his handling of the issue – an all-time low. And only 35 percent approve of his handling of the situation in Syria.

Dan McNamara, the President of the Detroit Fire Fighter Association was fired up on Friday, blasting Detroit officials including the city's fire commissioner over the state of the city's fire houses.
"Why are you ignoring the basic needs of your firefighters. You can't give us toilet paper? The city is not that broke," McNamara said. The Association President says his men, Detroit's finest, are living like animals. The city's fire houses are embarrassingly under stocked, without cooking utensils, light bulbs, soap and even toilet paper. McNamara says firefighters are using their own money, buying basics, to survive a 24 hour shift. Its not the first time Detroit's fire houses have been in the spotlight. This summer FOX 2's Charlie LeDuff investigated sickening conditions at fire houses. Raw sewage and faulty plumbing leaving fire fighters to live in their own filth. McNamara said "when we come back from what we do we are pretty dirty and nasty even if the plumbing does work we don't have the basic necessities. I don't know anyone that has to go to their boss to negotiate for toilet paper."McNamara says firefighters have raised the issue in arbitration but for the last few months things have only gotten worse. In some cases firefighters are using their cooking pans to catch oil dripping from fire trucks and that's the tip of the iceberg. "Soap, hand soap and soap to clean our fire trucks, toilet paper, light bulbs, everything you need we need here at the fire department," he said. The union president says its embarrassing to ask but desperate times call for desperate measures. So firefighters are asking for toilet paper, pots and pans soap and even light bulbs to be donated to the fire department and dropped off at the commissioners office in downtown Detroit. FOX 2 reached out to the fire commissioner's office and the mayor's office for comment but so far there has been no response.
UPDATE 11/27: The Detroit fire commissioner tells Fox 2 News that stations will get all the supplies they need by Wednesday afternoon. We're told the shortage was caused, in part, by a city vendor that had not been paid and wanted his money. The issue involving the vendor has been resolved.

A couple of weeks ago, area television weathermen were facing the real likelihood of having to wipe egg off their collective faces when they predicted that north Louisiana was about to be encased in a winter wonderland.
We rushed to the store and emptied the shelves of bread, milk, water and batteries and made sure our generators were gassed up and ready to go when the snow and ice encapsulated us.
Didn't happen, at least not in the area it was forecast to effect. It went south and for the third time in three weeks, kids in areas that seldom see wintery precipitation from Baton Rouge to Basile were slipping and sliding on garbage can lids and making snow ice cream while those of us living north of I-20 ate Blue Bell while staring out our windows at a cold ugly scene of gray and brown with not a speck of white to be seen.

(Child eating paint...she must be REALLY starving)
It's one of the most challenging pieces of the parenting puzzle- how do I get my kid to eat good food that's good for them, and how do I get them to eat a meal at meal time?
We've all fallen into the easy, seductive trap- give the kid a hot dog, (they LOVE those)- and let them chomp away while they watch Dinosaur Train. Sure they won't be hungry come dinnertime, but at least they ate SOMETHING.
Hold that thought- just feeding your child something, anything, so that they aren't starving isn't good for anyone involved. The child is lacking nutritional subsistence, and you'll be lacking hair after years spent at the dinner table trying to force feed them green vegetables.
Now I understand that every child, and every situation, is different- not every method works for every family (ask me about the "having the child sit on the toilet backwards for potty training" advice I once received). But when dealing with my own now 3-year old, here is the approach deemed successful in our home.
1. Kids love routines- that's why you sit them down for 3 squares at the same time every day- snack time may vary, but the main meals should become a timely, daily routine. After a couple days (maybe weeks, stick with it) the child will begin to realize that these AND ONLY THESE are the times they'll be presented food.
2. Treat your kitchen like YOUR kitchen, not a restaurant- Again, the regular times you prepare food are the only times the kitchen is open. This is not a place for your child to come sit down, peruse a menu and place an order at their convenience; rather; these are your 2, maybe 3 options- and that's what's on the menu, and it's only available hot and fresh for the next 10 minutes.
3. Make at least one meal a day a family meal as part of your routine- This is easier said then done for busy families, but if you can all gather around the same table every evening for dinner it will help to demonstrate the notion of "meal time" (monkey see...) and let's face it- our kids want to spend time with us, because we are awesome!
4. This Is What's For Dinner- That doesn't mean force feed them lima beans and liver every night- try to make sure the meal includes an item you know you child enjoys (maybe ask them for input on what that one item should be), but also have them trying new foods as often as possible. If they look at their plate and say "I'm not hungry", instead of making them sit there until they've finished every last bite, inform them that they don't have to eat right now, but they do need to sit at the table with you until you are finished eating. And then, later on, when they ARE hungry, this same meal will be waiting for them. You will gladly re-heat it for them once they are ready to eat. I know this is a bit contradictory to tips 1 and 2, but after a couple nights where the child does later decide it's time for dinner and you then put the same meal in front of them, they will quickly realize eating with you at the scheduled dinnertime is much more enjoyable than sitting at the kitchen table alone, eating re-heated leftovers.
***Side note, I know parents who have adopted the philosophy that their job as parent is merely to provide well-balanced meals to their children- and once prepared, the child has the option to decide when they eat it...this may work better for you if getting the entire family around the dinner table at the same time proves difficult***
5. Try New Things Again and Again- "I don't like carrots" was the response to my child's first crunchy bite of a fresh carrot. This seemed odd- she LOVED carrots when they were pureed and heated into mushy baby food. Granted she's older now and taste buds change, but getting her to eat vegetables is a priority in our household, so the next time we served carrots, they were cooked (overcooked, actually). And she loved them! So if they say they don't like broccoli, then try cooking the broccoli, if they don't like cooked broccoli, make broccoli cheese soup- keep re-inventing those difficult-to-get-them-to-digest dishes, and keep having your child try them- again and again. I have friends to this day who were never pressed to try vegetables and now, in adulthood, they are still picky eaters. They may dispute this- but living on hamburgers and chicken fingers is a mundane existence- learning to discover new foods is one of the great joys in life (this coming from a very hearty eater who loves trying any and all foods).

Most Americans will enjoy Thanksgiving dinner in the comfort of their own home. But for more than 1.17 million children, that won't be possible because they have no home, according to the U.S. Department of Education (DE).
That count is from the 2011-2012 school year, and reflects a 10 percent increase from the 2010‐2011 school year total of 1,065,794. The states with the largest numbers of homeless students were California, New York. Texas, and Florida.
"The DE figures are a shocking reminder of the intense shortage of decent affordable housing in our country, and the consequences it has for our children," said Andre Shashaty, president of Partnership for Sustainable Communities, a national nonprofit education and advocacy group. Shashaty is also the author of the forthcoming book, Death of a Dream: The end of 50 years of progress for cities and the rise of the new American slum.
The actual total number of homeless children is probably closer to 1.7 million, Shashaty said. This is an estimate that is based on adding to DE figures kids who are homeless but not of school age or who are not enrolled in public schools.

The Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University and the Cleveland Restoration Society are convening an interdisciplinary meeting to discuss the role of historic preservation in revitalizing America's legacy cities, where long-term population loss and economic decline present significant challenges for the future of the urban built environment. These cities have significant cultural heritage and a large stock of historic buildings, yet vacancy and abandonment are very pressing realities and, at times, demolition may be the best course of action.
At this crucial juncture, cities face difficult questions. What is the role that preservation can and should play in shaping the future of legacy cities? How can historic assets be identified and leveraged for planning and revitalization? What benefits and impediments exist in integrating preservation into community and economic development? How should we make decisions about what to save and what to destroy? This convening will be an opportunity to collaborate, share ideas, and devise solutions, with the goals of launching a more integrated approach to planning for the future of legacy cities, bringing preservation into urban policymaking, and crafting a 21st-century preservation profession that is responsive to current needs and conditions. Read more and submit a proposal to present at this conference.

Since I am 4 weeks today, I thought I would start my update thread!
Still using cheapies every morning. I had a chemical in 2010 and the only reason I knew something was wrong was the line got lighter and lighter and eventually disappeared. Then I had a very late AF. So it's comforting to see those lines, it's all I have until May 7th :-/
At the doctor now with what I think might be a UTI. Lots of discomfort when having to pee and peeing! Ugh. We'll see what they say. Worries me to take any medications. Has anyone been treated for a UTI during their pregnancies?

This is a big weekend. Anchorman 2, American Hustle, Saving Mr. Banks, Her and the list goes on.
We start with the boys getting back together. I read one review that said Anchorman 2 is very funny but lacks a good story. I thought to myself, who cares? I'm not looking for an Oscar nomination from this one, just make me laugh.
American Hustle is doing extremely well so far as the awards season is underway. Love the cast, love the director.
Here are some of the limited release movies opening this weekend:

What represents this spirit better than Moscow's underground railway? For a few roubles you can travel between stations decorated with chandeliers and marble.

Consumers Energy crews were working to repair a broken gas line in the area of Coolidge Highway and 13 Mile Road Friday.Consumers Energy spokesperson Debra Dodd say crews were able to shut off the gas around 10:35 a.m. after an Oakland County construction crew ruptured the 2-inch line earlier in the day.Nearby residents tell FOX 2's Roop Raj they were concerned since the leak took place less than a mile away from where another gas leak caused a home explosion that left one man dead back in February.But Dodd says the two leaks are not similar. "Any gas leak is a serious situation to us. But I certainly understand the concern of nearby residents and we responded promptly and the gas was venting into the atmosphere, which is exactly what we want to have happen in this situation."Fire crews remained on the scene of noon while crews worked to repair the line.

Kasi's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
I LOVE the Utah Jazz, Carolina Panthers, and BYU!!! I miss the Stockton-Malone days and how loyal players used to be :) How can you not love Cam Newton and Steve Smith?? ;) also I love North Carolina, and the Panthers are a pretty neutral team because no one remembers that we ever made it to the Superbowl since it was the year of "Nipplegate". I bleed blue, but am not one of "those" BYU fans. (aka, weirdo Mormon lol)
What's your favorite movie quote?
What kind of a name is 'Stove' anyway? What're you a kitchen appliance or something?, from Bridesmaids! I love that whole plane scene!
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
I am awesome at Old School Mario, with the rectangle paddles!!! I can beat basically any one at that. I am also really good at Madden!!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I have my ears and belly button pierced and I have one tattoo behind my right ear.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
MMMBop by Hanson, although if we are all being honest, that song is freaking awesome!!!
What's your best party trick?
I can set my hand on fire, without it burning. People are always amazed by that!
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"You make my software turn to hardware", while I was a server at Olive Garden :/
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I worked for an outbound survey company my first year of college. My boss and co-workers were always stoned out of their minds and I had never lived away from home before. It was a reality check for how the real world is outside of Utah. The worst part was just being "that phone person that calls during dinner and everyone hates".
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
I repelled down a 100 ft waterfall in Mexico after doing a 50 ft free fall. There was pretty much no looking back once you started, so I was all in!
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
My friends and I will always go to McDonald's, Rancheritos, or Denny's after a crazy night and nothing is off limits! We definitely make up for not having to spend money at the bar... Oops...
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
I love eating pepperonis plain and Tillamook cheese slices. I have them as a snack at least once a day.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I wouldn't say it is really naughty, but if it's late enough pretty much any wall can turn into a pole... LOL... but it is also my theory if boys are dumb enough to think I am going home with them then they deserve to be teased.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
I feel sexiest and most comfortable when I am wearing basketball shorts and a huge t-shirt. There is something about being comfortable and cuddly that makes me feel sexier than being in something tight and super revealing.
Tell us a joke.
Why can't a blonde dial 911? She can't find the eleven!!! Sorry, I had to. LOL. I am brown and in Utah, and in case you don't know, there aren't many of us.

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some advise from you all.
I had my last period from December 15 - December 20. After that, from December 24 - January 27, me and my fiancé have been having unprotected sex pretty much every day. Then on January 27, I started what normally would have been my period, though it only lasted three days, whereas for as long as I can remember, it has been five days. It was also much lighter, mostly brown discharges with some red in there.
Since then, I've been.. 'aware' of my uterus, if that makes any sense. I can feel it is there, something I've never felt before. Sometimes it cramps up a little, mostly to the sides, and my lower back has been slightly hurting. Other things I've been feeling even before the bleeding, are nauseous, light-headed/dizzy, and extremely tired. Can't really say much about how my breast feel, because I've had surgery on them a couple of years ago.. Also, for the past few mornings my urine has been cloudy, but I'm absolutely sure I don't have an UTI or kidney problems, or anything of that kind. Oh, and stopped taking my pill since August 2012.
Being pregnant would be unexpected, but not unwanted. The timing would just be kind of bad, since I just have a new job, and my fiancé lives in Florida, while I live in Europe. It would make things a little difficult, but nothing we couldn't handle
So what's your opinions? Could I be pregnant? Because I don't know what to think of all of this

Katy, girl, I did not think you were a day over 30! You still got it, for sure! People have always told me that I look younger than I am. Like, last year when we got picked up to go to the airport for our vacation, the van driver was talking to dh and I and asking us how long we'd been together, etc. and you could see he was trying to do the math in his head, and he was like, "Were you like 12 when you 2 met? You're only like 20, aren't you?" I thanked him and told him I was 30 and he was shocked. DH says I accept compliments like that too easily. He says I'm supposed to protest and say stuff, like, "Oh, no, I don't look THAT young" instead of being like, "Oh, thanks, I get that all the time" (which is what I say alot....LOL). I am afraid,though, as I get older that my tendonitis and arthritis issues will get worse and I'll eventually be crippled by it.
Erin, I didn't know that you had an eating disorder. (Hugs).
Shelley, that is so true about British humor. I used to roll my eyes at Brits who would say stuff about Americans not getting their humor, but I now see what they are talking about. I've met a few new expats lately who seem SO American to me...I guess that means I'm slowly being assimilated to the other side! Brits have a certain meanness to their humor that I think takes Americans awhile to not take so seriously. They love laughing at themselves and it takes you awhile to realize that they are not making fun of you, but accepting you in to the gang by laughing at you. It sounds harsh, but it's not, really.
All this talk of exercise makes me want to go for a run! I have finally started seeing results from zumba. I go two times a week. My tummy is actually starting to look toned, which I thought it never would! Remember those bikinis I posted? I bought the white one with flowers on it and it actually looks really good on me! It's taken awhile for zumba to feel like it's done much for me. I've been going for 6 months and nearly gave up on it, but I decided to stick it out awhile. I am still not very good at it, but it's a lot like pilates in some ways, so my core muscles can feel the difference.
