Constant Bleeding
my buddy just switch over to shimano race xtr from avid xx (he kept the avid rotors cause they're lighter). he was having to bleed them every few rides. i've heard a couple theories on this:
1. the piston material was reacting with the brake fluid
2. there was a known lever issue that has been fixed in updates.
aside from that issue, the avid xx vs. shimano xtr trail or race don't modulate as well and don't provide as much stopping power (1 finger braking does not feel good with these). also, shimano uses mineral oil, so if you sever a line and get oil on your frame, it wont eat the paint like the brake fluid that avids use.
yes, they are much lighter, so strictly x-country weight weenies may still want them is bleeding issue is solved. but my all my buddies and all the mechanics i've talked to prefer shimano as well...

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay in Italy. We were in Italy celebrating my husband's 40th birthday. I casually mentioned this to the woman behind the desk and we were greeted with prosecco and a card about an hour later in our hotel room. What a lovely gesture. The breakfast in the morning was divine and a wonderful way to start our day. Finally, we returned to the hotel later in the week (we had gone to Florence for a few days) and they upgraded us to their top room with sweeping views of Rome. They said it was because we had stayed with them earlier in the week and the room was not booked, so they wanted us to have it. We were so impressed with Hotel Ponte Sisto from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. What a wonderful stay and I have recommended the hotel to numerous people. When we visit Rome again, we will definitely stay at the hotel - it is also very conveniently located as well with a gelateria across the street and a wonderful supermarket next door. Perfecto!

We had a very enjoyable six night stay at Hotel Ponte Sisto. Everyone from the front desk staff to the waitresses in the breakfast room were very friendly and helpful. The room was thoroughly cleaned every day with plenty of fresh fluffy towels provided. We especially liked that the hotel was so centrally located that we were able to walk everywhere. We also liked that there was a small grocery store very near, and a great gelato shop just across the street. If we ever return to Rome, this is our hotel of choice.

As usual, a very relaxing and excellent stay at our favourite hotel in Roma. Our room this year had a superb view of St Peter's Dome - what a way to waken up every morning! Staff and service were first rate, as always
Eric Paerels
This is a very lovely hotel, situated about as perfectly as possible in the old section of Rome. Most of the sights, from the Colosseum to the Vattican, to the Trevi Fountain are within easy walking distance. The hotel staff is a delight, the rooms are very comfortable and their breakfasts in the palm studded courtyard are superb.

Adoramos o Hotel.O quarto é bem espaçoso,o café da manhã muito bom.Localização boa.
Marcus Claus
Hotellet var perfekt placerat och med gångavstånd till de flesta sevärdheter. Rummet var bra och med sköna sängar. Vårt rum hade en terrass, vilket var toppen i det fina sommarvädret! Frukosten serverades på deras fina terrass och var en mycket god buffé. Personalen var trevliga och serviceinriktade. Det enda som vi tyckte var lite synd var att de inte hade något tak över sittgrupperna på terassen, då det inte gick att sitta där på kvällen då det regnat. Det fanns dock en bar på hotellet, men vi tyckte det var mysigare på terassen.

Shine a light on dodgy stats
This week both the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail ran stories claiming that switching off street lights could significantly increase the number of road deaths. The stories were based on a paper published in the Cochrane Library, which considered three studies into the connection between road accidents and street lighting. However, it seems that the headlines are a typical example of misinterpretation of statistics.
As David Spiegelhalter, Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, writes on his website Understanding Uncertainty, the studies suffer from three major flaws: poor data, publication bias, and what's known as regression to the mean. Spiegelhalter points out that the three studies underlying the paper were poor and conducted decades ago, with one dating from as far back as 1948 — not a very good basis for drawing conclusions about today's traffic. The term publication bias refers to the fact that studies which show dramatic results are more likely to be published than those that don't. It's quite possible that there were other studies, which found no connection between street lights and accidents, but that no-one bothered to publish such boring results. Regression to the mean is a commonly observed effect, which results from random fluctuations. If street lights were installed on a certain road, then this is most likely because that road recently experienced a spade of accidents. Such a freak period can be purely down to chance, in which case one would expect the accident rate to return to normal after a while. Thus the improved accident rate after the installation of lights may be purely down to chance, rather than the improved lighting.
All this doesn't of course mean that street lights are useless. It simply means that the evidence is nowhere near as sound as the newspaper headlines claim. The Daily Mail, to its credit, did consult an expert, namely Spiegelhalter, but it's probably the headline, rather than his warning, that will stick in readers' minds.
If you're interested in matters of uncertainty and risk, then visit the Understanding Uncertainty website, or read Spiegelhalter's column in Plus.

When it comes to describing natural phenomena, mathematics is amazingly — even unreasonably — effective. In this article Mario Livio looks at an example of strings and knots, taking us from the mysteries of physical matter to the most esoteric outpost of pure mathematics, and back again.

Leading European scientists have said that mathematical modelling is key to future breakthroughs in the treatment of diseases including cancer, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. In a science policy briefing published by the European Science Foundation, the scientists set out a detailed strategy for the application of an area called systems biology to medical research. The aim is to improve early diagnosis, develop new therapies and drugs, and to move to a more personalised style of medicine.

You aren't what your mother eats
Last year a group of scientists came up with a surprising answer to a question that has occupied humanity since the dawn of time: how to influence the sex of your baby. In the paper You are what your mother eats, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the scientists claimed that it's all down to breakfast cereal. Eat more of it, and you increase your chances of giving birth to a boy. A highly unlikely claim, you might think, but there it was, the result of a sober statistical analysis of 740 women and their diet.
But now it seems that the team's sensational "evidence" was a result of pure chance and due to a basic methodological error. In a new paper, also published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, statisticians and medical experts show that the original authors most likely fell victim to a statistical pitfall that has been known to mathematicians since the nineteenth century. The problem arises when you perform too many tests on the same data set. To put it simply, the more questions you ask, the more likely it is that you get a strange answer to one of them.
As an example, imagine that your data set consists of the 740 women, information on their diet, and whether they give birth to a girl or a boy. You might then ask whether eating jellybeans influences the sex of the child. You count how many jellybean-eating mothers and how many non-jellybean-eating mothers give birth to boys and compute the percentage difference. If that difference appears large, it's tempting to conclude that jellybeans do influence the sex of the baby, but to be sure you ask yourself the following question: what is the probability that the large difference occurred purely by chance, and not because jellybeans influence gender? Using probabilistic methods, it's possible to calculate this probability, and if it is very low, you have good evidence that the result wasn't just pure chance and that jellybeans do indeed have an effect on gender.
But now imagine that you're not just testing the effect of jellybeans, but of a whole range of different foodstuffs on the same data set. For each individual food, a large discrepancy in boy-births between women who eat the food and women who don't might indicate that the food influences gender, as it is highly unlikely that such a freak event would occur purely by chance. However, the more opportunity there is for a freak event to occur, the higher the chance that it will indeed occur. In other words, the more foods you test, the higher the chance that one of them will show a large discrepancy by chance when in reality there is no connection between that food and gender. It's a bit like playing dice: the more dice you throw, the higher the chance that one of them comes up with a six.
According to the new paper, written by Stanley Young, Heejung Bang and Kutluk Oktay, the authors of the original study failed to take account of the effects of multiple testing — indeed they tested a total of 132 foods in two different time periods. Young, Bang and Oktay re-examined the data and found that with such a large number of tests, one would expect some to falsely indicate a dependence of gender on the given foodstuff.
"This paper comes across as well-intended, but it is hard to believe that women can increase the likelihood of having a baby-boy instead of a baby-girl by eating more bananas, cereal or salt," Young, Bang and Oktay say in the paper. "Nominal statistical significance, unadjusted for multiple testing, is often used to lend plausibility to a research finding; with an arguably implausible result, it is essential that multiple testing be taken into account with transparent methods for claims to have any level of credibility."

Fear of maths spawns rampant rabbits
Here's something all mathematicians know instinctively: changing a parameter in a dynamical system, even if it's only by a small amount, can have all sorts of non-obvious consequences. Some conservationists, however, don't seem to have learnt that lesson yet: by removing 160 feral cats from Macquarie Island to protect burrowing birds, a team of conservationists caused the rabbit population to boom from 4000 in the year 2000 to 130,000 in 2006. The rabbits have now demolished up to 40% of the island's vegetation, which may never recover. Cleaning up the mess may cost up to $16 million.
According to experts, a simple risk assessment exercise could have prevented the disaster. "We need a culture change," Hugh Possingham of the University of Queensland told New Scientist. "It's a generalisation, but people who do environmental work are often adverse to mathematics, and so avoid quantitative risk assessments."

Having a cold standby server in a different location would be nice. But at this point you can't use clustering anymore. So I spent some time and build a cold standby. Here is how I did it.
System: ZCS 4.5.6 NE on Ubuntu 6.06.1
Step one:
Create a 1:1 copy of your server. You can use what ever you prefer LVM snapshot, physical hard drive copy, rsync. I used rsync as I don't have physical access to server. Important for this step: zimbra needs to be down to make sure its really 1:1.
Step two:
Adjusting DNS. As zimbra wont start if the DNS is not correct we have to fake a bit.
Lets say the primary server is: zmail.mydomain.tld - add an additional DNS entry for this server zmail2.mydomain.tld
Install a local DNS server on your cold standby server - I used dnsmasq.
We need this DNS server so the cold standby server can use the FQDN of your primary server while having a different IP. To do this I added this line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
and changed /etc/hosts to:Code:address=/zmail.mydomain.tld/192.168.1.100
Now the cold standby server can use "zmail.mydomain.tld" to run a local zimbra configured for you primary server and still access the primary server using zmail2.mydomain.tld.Code:127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.100 zmail.mydomain.tld zmail
Step three:
Configure password less ssh using ssh keys - we need this to use rsync in a cron job.
Step four:
To be sure nothing is going wrong while syncing the backups I moved /opt/zimbra/backup to /zmailbackup.
Step five:
Create some scripts to control the sync / restore and if your server is "cold standby" or "active"
/root/coldstandby is just a file. I use it to check if the server is in "cold standby" modus or live.
/root/change.zimbra.status.sh is used to change the function from "cold standby" to "live". If the server is live you don't want to sync with your primary server anymore.....
/root/sync.live.server.sh syncs the backup folder with the primary server and starts the restore.Code:#!/bin/bash case $1 in "status") if [ -f /root/coldstandby ]; then echo "server is in cold standby modus" else echo "server is LIVE" fi ;; "cold") echo "switching into cold modus" echo "... remove start scripts" update-rc.d -f zimbra remove echo "... activate sync, backup, restore" echo "if this file is missing server is live" > /root/coldstandby echo "... stop zimbra" /etc/init.d/zimbra stop echo "... done" ;; "hot") echo "switching into live modus" echo "... install start scripts" update-rc.d zimbra defaultis 99 echo "... deactivate sync, backup, restore" rm /root/coldstandby echo "... check if a restore is running" RESTORE=`ps fax | grep -i java | grep -i restore | wc -l` if [ $RESTORE -gt 0 ]; then while [ $RESTORE -gt 0 ]; do echo "!!! FOUND ACTIVE RESTORE PROCESS PLEASE WAIT UNTIL FINISHED !!!" echo "... waiting for 5 min, and check again" sleep 3000 RESTORE=`ps fax | grep -i java | grep -i restore | wc -l` done fi echo "... no restore runnin anymore ... going live now" /etc/init.d/zimbra stop /etc/init.d/zimbra start ;; *) echo "help..." echo "switch to live modus: ./change.zimbra.status hot" echo "switch to cold modus: ./change.zimbra.status cold" echo "query status: ./change.zimbra.status status" ;; esac
/opt/zimbra/cold.restore.sh restores the backupCode:#!/bin/bash if [ -f /root/coldstandby ]; then echo "`date`: start syncing backups" >> /var/log/zimbra.cold.log rsync -a firstname.lastname@example.com:/opt/zimbra/backup/* /zmailbackup/ echo "`date`: start restoring backups" >> /var/log/zimbra.cold.log su - zimbra /opt/zimbra/cold.restore.sh echo "`date`: restore finished" else echo "`date`: no sync/restore done server considered to be LIVE" >> /var/log/zimbra.cold.log fi
I had trouble with RedoErrors and the only way I could get it to work was using the "--ignoreRedoErrors" option. I also tried to use zmrestoreoffline - but this did not work at all for me. The "zmcontrol stop" at the beginning and the end are just for safety.Code:#!/bin/bash zmcontrol stop LABEL=`zmrestoreldap -lbs -t /zmailbackup | sed -n 1p` zmrestoreldap -lb $LABEL -t /zmailbackup zmmailboxctl start zmrestore -a "all" --ignoreRedoErrors -t /zmailbackup zmcontrol stop
The only thing that is left is a cron job. I have this line in my /etc/crontab:
For me this is 30min after the server did it's backup - which works fine for me.Code:55 */2 * * * root /root/sync.live.server.sh
I know that the "cold standby" server is never 100% up2date but this is ok for me.

I modified an existing script from another forum thread, which automatically mounts a shared address book to my users within a existing Distribution List. Here is the code:
When I run the above PERL script, the output from the "get distribution list information" works, however it doesn't process the zmmailbox command. It returns the following error message after trying to run it for each distribution list member:Code:#!/usr/bin/perl # Get distribution list information and filter to just it's members my $gdl = `/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov gdl distributionlist\@domainname|grep zimbraMailForwardingAddress:`; my @dlmembers = split('\n', $gdl); foreach $member(@dlmembers){ $member =~ s/zimbraMailForwardingAddress:\s*|\s*$//g; print "$member\n"; system ("/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m $member createMountpoint --view contact -F# /sharename account@domainname /sharename"); }
ERROR: service.PERM_DENIED (permission denied: you do not have sufficient permissions)
Additional Info
- The permissions have been set appropriately on the account that the address book is being shared from. Within the web client, I can see that my distrubition list is shared and the permissions are set to 'Manager'.
- When I run the 'zmmailbox' command separately, removing $member and adding in an individual account that is a member of the distribution list, it works with no problem.
I suspect this issue is related to the PERL setup or something else related to Linux, however I am unable to figure it out.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please reply. Thank-you in advance.

Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
The recent increase of anti-Semitic violence in Europe is of great concern to Members of this Commission and many Members of the United States Congress. Over the past months, Europe has experienced a significant rise in vandalism against Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and cultural property, as well as mob assaults, fire bombings and gunfire. From the United Kingdom through much of Europe to Eurasia, anti-Semitic violence has emerged to challenge our deeply held values of equality and civil society, and this sharp escalation of brutality is particularly alarming in light of Europe's troubling past.
Unlike the prejudice against minority religious groups that is spreading through Europe, intolerance of Jews is based on more than religion. Anti-Semitism is not necessarily based on the hatred of the Judaic faith, but on Jewish people themselves. Consequently, the resurfacing of these xenophobic attitudes and acts of violence is something that cannot be ignored by our European friends or the United States.
The participating States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, including the United States, have enumerated a clear position on anti-Semitism, responding to the region's past history and future concerns. In fact, the 1990 Copenhagen Concluding Document was the first internationally-agreed condemnation of anti-Semitism. It declared that all participating OSCE States "unequivocally condemn" anti-Semitism and would take effective measures to protect individuals from anti-Semitic violence.
While inconceivable that any OSCE State would promote blatantly anti-Semitic policies, in response to the recent spate of violence, not all governments reacted with appropriate timeliness or clear condemnatory language. Unfortunately, when governments fail to respond quickly or adequately to attacks, or are silent in the face of violence, an implicit statement is made. The silence concerning anti-Semitic attacks was contrasted with the fierce condemnation by certain European governments against actions taken by Israel. This rhetoric, combined with ever-increasing violence and government inaction, justifiably left a sense of isolation reminiscent of an earlier age.
Today, most OSCE States have engaged the issue, taking appropriate steps to deter further violence, through public statements, prosecutions and police protection of Jewish property. Yet, taken as a whole, the atmosphere of tolerance in many European countries has been damaged.
As a result, the change in atmospherics further fed the latent monster of anti-Semitism. For example, in France and the Netherlands, politicians promoting aggressive nationalism have fared well in recent elections. Neo-Nazi "skin head" propaganda and violence in Russia and other former Soviet Republics have reached alarming levels. The rise of the "extreme-right" is a startling reminder that the sins of intolerance and xenophobia remain prevalent in some circles.
But, while anti-Semitism still lurks from Europe's past, hostility towards Jews has also erupted from second generation Arabs in France, Belgium and Germany.
A case in point concerns two Jewish students from my home state of New Jersey. Upon leaving prayer at a Berlin synagogue, these two Orthodox Jews had the misfortune of walking into a protest against Israel and against US policy with respect to the Palestinians. When the two students were approached by several protesters and asked if they were Jews, they answered "yes." They were assaulted in the street, in the heart of one of Berlin's most fashionable districts. Thankfully their injuries were minor, but German authorities have been unable to apprehend their attackers.
Clearly, all OSCE participating States, including the US, must be pro-active and vigilant when combating anti-Semitic violence. No country can afford to allow anti-Semitic violence to sprout and grow. It is imperative that OSCE States act boldly to root out and confront this dangerous trend.
Because of the significance of this topic and the gravity of the situation, today's hearing will be an important tool to raise congressional and public awareness of the issue. During this hearing I hope to learn more about the situation of Jews living in the OSCE region, as our panel of expert witnesses will provide insight into their current strife. Their policy recommendations will be of great interest, I am sure, to myself and other Members. I want to thank each person for making time to share their thoughts on this very important issue.

Skin care expert Paula Begoun is no stranger to the frustrations that come with trying to address chronic skin care concerns. For years, she struggled with severe acne and became increasingly discouraged by the products that were available to help her try to reduce the frequency of her breakouts. After discovering that one of the products she was using to treat her condition contained the harsh chemical acetone, Paula was inspired to begin researching skin care products and spreading the truth about the ingredients that they contained. As an extension of her work as a best-selling beauty author, Paula created the Paula's Choice Treatments collection to provide women with safer solutions for their dermatological needs.
The Paula's Choice Treatments range includes formulas for many different common skin care issues, including hyperpigmentation, signs of aging and rosacea. All of the formulas in the Paula's Choice Treatments line are guaranteed by Paula to deliver results for the complexion without exposing the skin to dangerous ingredients. Start exploring the Paula's Choice Treatments range to find a better way to manage your beauty concerns.
Trust your complexion to Paula's Choice Treatments, the therapeutic collection developed by renowned skin care expert Paula Begoun.
Paula's Choice Resist Triple-Action Dark Spot Eraser 7 Percent AHA Lotion is a therapeutic formula for hyperpigmentation that combines three proven skin-brightening ingredients into one treatment. To exfoliate discolored skin tissue, the formula contains 7 percent glycolic acid, which dissolves cellular bonds to loosen damaged cells. Natural kojic acid in the treatment helps to brighten the entire complexion, while 2 percent hydroquinone disrupts melanin production to gradually lighten areas of skin discoloration.
No matter where you have scars, finding ways to safely reduce their prominence can be a challenge, but Paula's Choice Clinical Scar-Reducing Serum makes it possible to diminish the appearance of scars without compromising the health of the skin or resorting to clinical interventions. The combination of vitamin C and Quercetin, two antioxidants that reduce inflammation while promoting brighter, healthier skin tissue. The formula is shown to improve both the coloration and texture of scars in just 8 weeks.
Whether you're concerned about sagging skin on the décolletage, thighs or stomach, Paula's Choice Resist Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment can help to tighten and tone your trouble zones while softening and soothing your body skin. A unique form of retinol in the formula stimulates cellular turnover, encouraging the skin cells to naturally rejuvenate themselves. Rich emollients like shea butter restore moisture deep within the skin tissue, while antioxidants fight oxidative damage to help skin retain its youthful texture.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WUSA9) -- Fredericksburg police say they charged a man after his neighbors complained he had taped photos showing nudity to the outside of his apartment door.

Frost is being held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Police say they continue to investigate and want anyone with information concerning James Albert Frost to call Detective Ben Johnson at 540-654-5792.

The LA area gun buy back program has recently returned to the news. Ralph's Supermarket donates gift certificates in this program, and anyone turning in a firearm receives a Ralph's gift certificate in varying amounts. I think it's $50, $100 and $200.
This does not intrude on gun owners' 2nd amendment rights, as it is a voluntary sale on their part. Not a seizure or ban, in any respect.
So, what do you think of such programs?
1. A false sense of doing something but which is wholly inadequate, when what we need is a complete ban on handguns and 'assault weapons.' (strongly oppose, from the anti-2nd amendment left, er, sensible moderate gun regulation side, I mean of course. Reagan, did I mention Reagan?)
2. A dangerous precedent, that will wrongly teach the public that firearms are the problem when they are the solution. (strongly oppose, from the pro-2nd amendment right)
3. Not much value either way, but not dangerous in either way, so meh. (no strong opinion either way, whatever)
4. A great idea that is totally worth it, with significant results, that ought to be modeled and it's only downside, not enough of it going on. (strongly support from the anti-2nd amendment left).
5. Neither a great idea nor worth it, particularly, but since the public sheeple want some symbolic actions, and this isn't terrible at all, it's very much worth doing it for political cover reasons (strong support from the pro-2nd amendment right)
6. Since all of the above are idiotic cartoon responses that totally miss the point, I'll tell you what REAL Americans think, to wit: (please explain another reaction)
(Note: this particular program involves no public expenditure of money beyond perhaps some dedicated personnel already on salary being tasked to man the turn in stations. Some programs might involve public monies for the by-back. My questions apply to both.)

By Roberta Rampton and John Whitesides
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama said on Friday he will take his case for military action in Syria directly to the American people next week and acknowledged his problems in convincing Congress to back strikes against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
Speaking in Russia, where he is attending the G20 summit, Obama told reporters he will address the nation from the White House on Tuesday in an effort to build public and congressional support for a military response to the Syrian government's alleged use of chemical weapons.
Obama faces significant resistance to the proposed strikes in Congress, where scores of lawmakers are still undecided about authorizing military force. Opinion polls show a war-weary public strongly opposes U.S. action in Syria.
"In terms of the votes and the process in Congress, I knew this was going to be a heavy lift," Obama told reporters in St. Petersburg.
"I understand the skepticism. I think it is very important, therefore, for us to work through, systematically, making the case to every senator and every member of Congress. And that's what we're doing," he said.
Administration officials have given public testimony and daily closed-door briefings on Syria to members of Congress but the fate of a resolution authorizing military action rests with scores of unconvinced U.S. lawmakers from both parties.
Members of Congress say they are concerned that even limited military strikes in Syria could draw the United States into a prolonged war and spark broader hostilities in the region.
So far, many say they have unanswered questions, and administration officials are expected to continue briefings once Congress returns from its August recess on Monday.
The Democratic-led Senate convened for slightly more than four minutes on Friday, ending the month-long summer break, in a procedural move that will help speed consideration next week of a measure authorizing military action against Syria.
Obama said he is striving to convince lawmakers the response will be limited "both in time and in scope" but still meaningful enough to degrade Assad's capacity to deliver chemical weapons in the future and serve as a deterrent to their use.
"The concern really has to do with understanding that what we're describing here would be limited and proportionate and designed to address this problem of chemical weapons use," Obama said. "And that is going to be the case that I try to make, not just to Congress, but to the American people over the coming days."
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved on Wednesday an authorization that prohibits the use of U.S. combat troops on the ground in Syria and limits the duration of the action to 60 days, with one possible 30-day extension.
But aides in both the Senate and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives are still uncertain about the outcome of votes in those chambers as many lawmakers are withholding judgment. A Senate debate will begin next week, with a first full Senate vote possible on Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid used the brief Friday session to prepare the legislation for floor debate.
Referring to U.S. intelligence reports that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its own citizens, Reid said: "As we know, many, many people were killed with this, including almost 500 children."
Obama has had trouble rallying international support for a military response to the August 21 chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians. The British Parliament voted last week against Britain's participation in the action.
But Obama said that most leaders of the G20 countries agreed that Assad was responsible for using poison gas on civilians, although there was disagreement about whether force could be used without going through the United Nations.
Obama said he did not believe U.N. Security Council support was required.
"Given Security Council paralysis on this issue, if we are serious about upholding a ban on chemical weapons use, then an international response is required, and that will not come through Security Council action," he said.
Obama declined to say whether he will proceed with military action against Syria if U.S. lawmakers vote against his plan, despite earlier comments from a top aide suggesting he would not use such force without congressional support.
"The president of course has the authority to act, but it's neither his desire nor his intention to use that authority absent Congress backing him," deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken told National Public Radio on Friday.
Obama rejected criticism that he was playing politics by asking Congress for authorization, and acknowledged that Syria's use of chemical weapons was not a direct threat to the United States.
"I did not put this before Congress, you know, just as a political ploy or as symbolism. I put it before Congress because I could not honestly claim that the threat posed by Assad's use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians and women and children posed an imminent, direct threat to the United States," Obama told reporters.
"In that situation, obviously, I don't worry about Congress; we do what we have to do to keep the American people safe," he said.

Downtown goes green
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 10:03 a.m.
'Tis the annual greenin' o' Ocala — oops, make that O'Cala.
O'Cala St. Patrick's Day Festival
When: 4-9 p.m. Saturday
Where: Ocala's downtown square, corner of Magnolia Avenue and Broadway Street
Cost: Free
Info: 629-8444, or www.ocalafl.org/stpatrick
For the 11th year, the city of O'Cala gets its Irish on Saturday for the St. Patrick's Day Festival on the Square. The yearly greenin' begins at 4 p.m. and wraps up five hours later.
And most of it is free; vendors will sell the beer and food and pots o' leprechaun gold yeh just can't pass up.
"Everybody gets to be Irish that day," said Darcee Rutherford Moreno, a third-generation daughter of the Emerald Isle who happens to be planning a trip to Ireland next year for "the next blue moon. I'm ready to connect with my Irish heritage."
"I've been coming to these festivals for years," she added. "I enjoy the camaraderie. It's a group of mixed individuals from different cultures coming together for a common community."
And, of course, there's the beer.
For the five hours of the festival, folk of legal drinking age will be allowed to quaff brews on the square, provided it's in a sealed container they open on the square, Magnolia Avenue or Broadway Street adjacent to the square, said Stan Creel, who coordinates special events like this for the city.
It's likely the taverns and other public houses ringing the square will be offerin' green beer, he added, but that has to be downed under their roofs.
"Our permit allows only sealed containers outside," he said.
He's planning for 4,000 to 6,000 attendees to descend on the square for some portion of the evening, which features Irish and Celtic music, Irish dancing, corned-beef-and-cabbage meals prepared by the Pan-Hellenic Society of Ocala, pedestal jousting and even an Irish dunk tank.
And beer.
There'll also be baklava, Creel said. "We're a blended culture. On that day, everybody's Irish."
Among those who are truly Irish is Ireland-born Ocalan Victoria Sexton, a festival favorite who's scheduled to sing for 45 minutes Saturday night.
"I love getting the chance to break out the brogue on St. Paddy's Day," she emailed from Gainesville, where she's a freshman at the University of Florida. "I'll sing all the Irish songs I know, and you can bet I'll be wearing green. I might even get my sister up to sing and dance a few songs with me."
Also performing Saturday is Seven Nations from Orlando, the popular "bagpipes rock" band, as they were described by one newspaper. The band will play at 6 and 8 p.m.
"I've been getting phone calls from people as far away as Tampa asking how they can get tickets for Seven Nations," Creel said. "I've been telling them there are no tickets, it's free and to c'mon up.
"Altogether," he added, "it should be one amazing night."

Hello All,
I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and would really love to breastfeed him. I know the many benefits of breastfeeding and I know that it would be best, however I haven't really had good experiences with it. I attempted to breastfeed my first son, but it was SO painful!!! I had sores on my areolas and it seemed that as soon as they would be feeling better my baby was hungry again! I also had intense cramping and was concerned that he was not getting enough milk. He seemed frustrated when I attempted to nurse him. I only lasted 4 days and I put him on formula.
I was very upset with myself for feeling like I was unable to breastfeed him. I felt tricked because no one told me that breastfeeding came with those kind of difficulties. I didn't even try to nurse my second son because of that experience. On top of that after I decided to stop trying to nurse my first son, my milk came in and I was SO engorged I had milk up to my armpits! I think it might have been more painful than his birth!
Anyway, I dedided that this time I would give it another try. And this time I'm kind of aware of what can happen. Was this anyone else's experience? Did anyone experience pain while breastfeeding? How long did it last and what did you to lessen it. Was it painful when it was time to wean? Thanks for any advice you can give!!

Hi Dionne.
I breastfed for one year. I didnt have pain but we did have alot of trouble latching on in the beginning. After a few weeks of practice it was easy and I really enjoyed it. My daughter self weaned at 1 year and it didnt hurt, I think it was because she had kind of been weaning herself for a month and my milk supply was alot lower than it was when I started breast feeding.
From what I understand it is usually not as hard the second time arround because you already know what to expect and how it works.
I hope everything goes well for you.
in the begining, it was hard and painful. but i hired a lactation consultant, and she showed me how to position my baby properly. she also told me to take fenugreek and there came a point where it became very pleasurable... (am i allowed to say sexually stimulating? well, some masturbate, but i nurse...)
there was this amazing cream that i used for cracked nipples called bepanthen- i don't know if it's available in the us- but that healed my nipples very fast. after that, i used lansinoh occasionally and that helped too.
Hi Dionne,
Did you follow through with breastfeeding? I recommend using a natural ointment to assist prevention and onset of nipple soreness and torn skin. Try Sweet Butterfly Mommy and Baby All-Purpose Aromatherapy Blend - see item at the end of this page, http://t.co/dOrWET5
Please let us know how you're doing.

"The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus keeps a bizarre piece of fan memorabilia in his TV trailer – a woman's breast implant.
The "Boondock Saints" actor reveals he was sent the odd item by a concerned female fan because his character, outcast Darryl Dixon, always appears sad on the zombie drama, and he has since found a good use for the gel implant.
He tells U.S. talk show host Katie Couric, "It's actually my phone cradle in my trailer back in Georgia… She said I seemed depressed and I should take that (the implant) to filming… I love it."

My wife recently got into being a Thirty-One sales consultant. It's basically like an Avon or Tupperware party salesperson, but for bags and other organizing nick-knacks. The back-office for Thirty-One does do a good job of getting you started with your initial starter kit of bags, catalogs, order forms and other sales materials, but what better way to really make a statement that you are officially a Thirty-One consultant than by getting business cards made!
Yes, they do have business cards you could order from the company's back-office, but where is the fun in that. Imagine running into another sales consultant, or a potential client, handing them your business card just to see the look of disappointment as it was the same canned template design that they had picked out. Since it actually came out cheaper to get the cards made custom, I took on the responsibility of designing my wife's business card. Here is the result :
Two lines were whited out to preserve privacy.
Whether you are a consultant for a gift merchandise company or you offer your own freelance services, having a business card is still a standard that comes across as professional and reliable. Having a well-designed and snazzy business card will get you business. Everyone should have a side business or passion that would require them to need a business calling card. What's yours?

Montgomery, Ala. Beginning Thursday, Alabamians with permits to carry concealed pistols may keep them locked in their cars while at work even if their employer prohibited it in the past.
That's part of Alabama's new gun law that takes effect Aug. 1. The law also provides that workers with hunting licenses may keep their unloaded rifles and shotguns locked away in their vehicles while at work during hunting season.
The law's sponsor, Republican Sen. Scott Beason of Gardendale, says he doesn't expect much different than what people have been doing already. An opponent of the new law, Democratic Rep. Barbara Boyd of Anniston, said she's concerned it may lead to more incidents like the Trayvon Martin shooting.

Hote assez sympa, bon accueil.
It's a small studio good located. Smaller -only one room, kitchen included- but enough for a couple for few days. By night, noise of the refrigerator will care your dreams, with "solos" from the pipes and the continuous melody coming from external air conditioned machines, coming from other buildings.
Thank you D2 for your apartment. I travelled 28 hours to get to New York from Australia and was very happy with the timely key delivery and best of all the location was fantastic. Your apartment was clean and neat and was just right for my needs. I will be very happy to book again when I return next year.
Appartamento inadatto al soggiorno di 4 persone adulte in quanto uno dei due letti è di una piazza e mezzo. La cucina è sprovvista: di pentole decenti, di una semplice macchina per il caffè o di un bollitore. E' molto sporco: sotto i letti, le tendine , la cucina e le lenzuola erano macchiate.
La consegna delle chiavi è stata precisa e regolare e la posizione è ottima.
Allt praktiskt med nyckelöverlämnande, utcheckning etc var det inga problem med.
Lägenheten OK, men extrasängen dålig för känslig rygg. Städningen något bristfällig (spis, äckliga persienner) men godtagbar i stort. Nästa gång hyr vi inte lägenhet mot gatan- otroligt oväsen med sophämtning, gatuarbete flera timmar efter midnatt! Öronproppar gällde! Huset i övrigt tyst och propert. Läget med gångavstånd till Times Square det bästa!
We were very satisfied. The handover of the key was unproblematic and the appartement was relatively clean on our arrival. The location was great - one of the best for an shorttrip to NYC! Sometimes it's a bit noisy because of the pipes, but we have become accustomed.
I think, the price is unbeatable and I would recommend the apartment at any time. Hopefully we come also once again!
This was a great place to stay! The studio was a perfect size for three people (a bigger room than if we had stayed in a hotel), and we had everything we needed while we were there (we didn't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but for very basic cooking it was fine). The location is the best thing about it - we were able to walk up to the Theatre District and over to Chelsea, and it was close to all the subways to get anywhere else.
We were extremely happy with our stay there!
perfect location, nice studio !
I had a close friend visiting NYC for a performance. He needed a place to stay while in town. I currently live in NJ so I checked out the studio in Chelsea and was delighted to find the location and apartment to be just perfect for our situation. Bring your own tissue and toiletries for the bathroom, however, supplies were very limited. Thanks D2 for a terrific stay!

January is one of my favorite months to make stews and chilis. It's the best way to heat up your body when you literally turn into a meat popsicle the minute you step outside. Eat some chili to stop being chilly! The word "chili" actually comes from "chile con carne", which means "peppers with meat" in Spanish, which makes complete sense, so I'm going to stop myself from spewing out a bunch of ridiculous, stupid-American jokes about food vs. weather :)
In all actuality, I want to focus on warm soup/chili/stew recipes in January because you all are probably looking for some new ones to try while you're trying to stay warm. Here's the first one! I found it on the 2013 Cooking Light recipe box calendar that Jess got me for Christmas. I love it! I'm speaking about the calendar AND the chili.
Calendar = food porn. Chili = delicioso.
I happened to have a bag of dry pinto beans laying around from an Aldi shopping trip from loooooong ago. Seriously, I've had these beans for a YEAR. They're not my bean of choice, so naturally I didn't think to use them. When I saw this recipe and realized I had every single ingredient in my kitchen (including the pinto beans!), I knew I had to make it! So I did. At 11pm on a Thursday night. I soaked the beans for a day, then I stuck all the ingredients in the crockpot, put it on low and went to bed. And at 3am, Jess woke me up because the delicious smells lured her out of sleep, lol.
I brought some in to work on Friday to share with my friend, Richard. He is a spicy food fanatic like myself and he recently acquired this ridiculously spicy hot sauce. The first time Richard tried it, his mouth was on fire, he felt like he was dying and laid on the floor curled up in a ball for about two hours. He put a bit too much on his BBQ sandwich. He also felt like a demi-god when he survived it. So, of course, I wanted to try it! What more perfect pairing is there than chili and hot sauce? NONE! (except maybe sea salted caramel and dark chocolate) So we put about 1.5 tsp into a mere 1.5 cups of chili, stirred it up and ate it in the break room at work. HOLY CRAP. That sauce is HOT! A sweet hot with a gentle, but voracious fire that makes the inside of your mouth sweat and then fires up your belly slowly from the top down. But you know what? It tasted great even when it was burning its way through my body and I now feel like a superhuman! I WANT MORE. I'm totally getting a bottle because it belongs in my kitchen. And in this chili.
Beef and Pinto Bean Chili (from Cooking Light)
Servings: 6
PointsPlus Per Serving: 8 (10 with topping) *See tips on lightening it up even more at the bottom*
- 1 lb boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, 18 PP
- 1/4 tsp salt, divided
- 2 tbsp canola oil, 7 PP
- 4 cups chopped onion
- 1/4 cup minced jalapeno peppers
- 10 garlic cloves
- 1 12-oz bottle beer, 5 PP
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 PP
- 3 cups fat-free beef broth (like Better Than Bouillon Beef Base), 1 PP
- 1 28-oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 15-oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained, 8 PP
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced radish
- 1 avocado, chopped, 9 PP
- 6 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 6 tbsp light sour cream, 5 PP
- 6 lime wedges
1. Heat a dutch oven over high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle beef evenly with 1/4 tsp salt. Add beef to pan; saute 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove from pan.
2. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and jalapeno; saute 8 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; saute 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in beer, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; bring to a boil. Cook until liquid almost evaporates (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in paprika, cumin, and tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Return beef to pan. Add broth, tomatoes and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1.5 hours or until mixture is thick and beef is very tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
4. Ladle 1 cup chili into each of 6 bowls and divide toppings evenly.
OR JUST PUT ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN A CROCKPOT (minus the olive oil) AND COOK ON LOW FOR 4-8 HOURS. heh.
– Use half as much meat and this goes down to 6 PP per cup.
– Need some extra filler in now that you've take out some of the meat? Add a cup of diced zucchini and 1/2 cup chopped celery and your chili will be hearty and healthy and remain at 6 PP per cup.
– If you use half the oil and only 2.5 cups of onion (not adding in the celery and zucchini), it goes down to 5 PP per cup.
– Top with fat-free sour cream or leave out either the light sour cream or the avocado and you'll only be adding 1 PP per bowl rather than two. (if you're using the topping).
