don Miguel Ruiz – "All of this is a dream."
Every step of my life has been great.
I always live in the present moment, right here, right now. I can tell you this is the most important moment of my life because I am alive right now. The rest is just a story. Maybe it was real when it happened, but right now this is real right here, right now.
Just to be alive, that is more than enough. To wake up, perceive, put my body in action, this is more than enough. There's nothing to expect. There's a lot to plan. In certain times you just learn to live today like it's the last day of your life, but planning like you're going to live forever without expecting that anything will happen.
When I stopped being a medical doctor, I didn't miss neurosurgery because at a certain point I wanted to understand the human mind and how it works. In order to do that, I went back to my family tradition.
I studied with my mother what she called dreaming.
All of this is a dream.
We are dreaming with the brain awake right now. There's no doubt about it.
For example, if you see a mirror, everything that is inside the mirror is not real. Everything that is outside the mirror is real. We don't see objects. We only see the light that is reflected from all of those objects that are made of matter, and that light projects images in our eye. Our eye is just like the mirror. The difference is that behind the eye is the brain with all our knowledge.
We justify everything, we qualify everything, we name everything because we already have that mindset, but it's an image, our imagination– a dream. We are dreaming with our mind awake right now.
In your dream we perceive exactly the same objects, but your mind will qualify it in a completely different way, justify it in a different way.
We are dreaming right now, but what we believe about this dream is completely different, similar but different. We don't notice because in your story everything is about you, it's about what you perceive, what you believe, what you think. For her, it's about her, what she thinks, what she believes, etc.
She's dreaming, I'm dreaming, and you're dreaming.
We are dreaming with the brain awake. When the brain sleeps, we keep dreaming, but it's different than this dream.
This dream is linear because right now light is reflecting off of the objects and is going directly into our mind.
If you get distracted and start daydreaming of something not here, then you dream a memory.
Similarly, when your brain is sleeping, you do not perceive light, you are dreaming only with the memories that you already have.
Gradually, I started receiving and teaching many apprentices. That gave me permission to go into the mind and understand how it works. After ten years, I knew exactly how the mind works. That's when the first book, The Four Agreements came.
The mind is very predictable. It's very simple. It's the same for 7 billion people who live right now. It's exactly the same. We have the same patterns. What will be different, of course, will be the language people speak and the events that happen in their lives, but the structure of the mind is very similar, it's almost the same. When you understand one human mind, you can understand the mind of the entire planet, all of humanity.
Life is simply our encounter with the truth.
The truth exists and is real. It's the only thing that is real.
The truth existed long before the creation of humanity. It will exist after the extinction of humanity. The truth doesn't need to be proved. None of us have to believe or not believe in the truth. Even without humanity the truth just exists.
On the other hand, lies only exist because we believe in those lies. If we stop believing in lies, all lies will just disappear.
When I encountered the truth, I found out how simple human life is. Life is extremely simple. We complicate everything.
We complicate it because we create lies and we corrupt all of those lies and create superstitions. Then we defend the superstitions, and we become fanatic defending all of the superstitions we created.
This is something that you can see in my new book, The Toltec Art of Life and Death, because this is a story of a life. It's my story in the 9 weeks that I was in coma following my heart attack in 2002.
At the moment we're dying, our whole life passes before our eyes. All of the memorable moments, the greatest things and the worst things that happened in our life.
What is most important are the encounters we have with the truth.
Every single person has an encounter with the truth – not just once, but many times.
When we encounter the truth, our life changes in a different direction.
You let go of so many things. You forgive and forget so many things. You only focus on life. You enjoy life.
You find that in yoga, but there's many different ways that we can find the same thing.
I call it an encounter with the truth.
When you have that encounter with truth, you know that your whole life is just a story. It's only true for you, but for nobody else.
You have your own truth, but 7 billion other people, also have their own truth because they live in the story that they create.
That's why we believe that we are right and everybody else is wrong.
When you realize everyone has his or her own truth, then you recover something we lose early on, which is respect.
When we respect ourselves, when we respect our own story, we find inner peace.
All of those conflicts that exist in the mind just disappear because we don't hold onto them any longer.
You find that all minds in this beautiful planet Earth have conflict in their mind. For a long time we believe that conflict is between good and bad. That's not true.
Good and bad is just a result of the real conflict. The real conflict is between the truth and lies.
When we believe in truth, the result is that we are good, we enjoy life, we are happy.
When we believe in lies, the result is that we are bad. How bad depends on how deep the lies are that we believe. How strong are the superstitions that we believe? It also depends on how strongly we defend those superstitions. How fanatic are we when we defend those superstitions?
Sometimes we are so fanatic that we can even kill or die in order to defend a superstition. Like in France a few days ago, we can kill many people just because we try to defend superstitions and try to impose them on other people.
"Only my God is the real one, not yours."
"If you don't believe in my God, I will kill you."
We see how we humans try to impose and control everybody around.
When we understand all of these points, everything shifts and changes.
Wherever I go and whatever lecture I do, I always ask for help. The help is, "Please help me to change the world."
I'm not talking about the world of the whole humanity. I'm talking about the world that we create, that each single human creates because it's the only world that we can change.
If we can change our personal world, just like magic everything changes.
The only way to change our world is to change the main character, which is what you believe you are.
At a certain point you will discover that you are not what you believe you are. You will discover that you don't have any idea what you are. You just don't know what or who you are. You also find out that it's not important to know. Not at all.
The truth is not disturbing at all.
What is disturbing are all of the superstitions and the way that we so fanatically protect them –that's shocking.

Suits S02E13: "Zane vs. Zane"
"Zane vs. Zane" felt like an early episode of Suits and I mean that in the good way. Things have (mostly) been smoothed over with Louis, Pearson Hardman fended off an attack from another firm and has slowly begun the process of healing in the aftermath of the Hardman debacle. We opened to Harvey and Mike shooting wastebasket hoops in Harvey's office, a prank war consumed Louis, Donna, and new girl Katrina for most of their storyline, and the majority of this week's drama and conflict manifested on a personal level between Rachel Zane and her father, played by guest-star Wendell Pierce (HI, BUNK!).
"Zane vs. Zane" was also a great episode for finally allowing Rachel to come into her own as a character beyond her role as Mike's dream girl. We knew that she came from a well-to-do family with lawyerin' blood in it, that there was some frustration on her family's part that she was "only" a paralegal. In "Zane vs. Zane" we learned that Robert Zane was a legendary partner at a competing firm... who had recently taken on a case against Harvey.
Rachel immediately asked for a spot on Harvey's team because she wanted to stick it to daddy. Mike was apprehensive because he knew what the point of this episode was going to be, but Harvey was firmly on Team Rachel because WINNING.
It went about as well as you'd think. The case in question was a gender discrimination suit against Folsom Foods on behalf of a woman who claimed that she was repeatedly passed up for a promotion purely because she had a vajayjay. Harvey decided to have Rachel in the room during Daddy Dearest's deposition of their client, Sloane Mosely, thinking Lawyer Bunk would ease off on the inquisition if his daughter was watching. Zane, however, was a professional, and he had a job to do, so he tore into Sloane and questioned her qualifications/life choices/hair color/what she had for breakfast—you get the idea. Rachel, less professionally, took it all to heart and moped.
Last week, Louis highlighted Harvey's inability to separate the personal from the professional and we got a little more of that this week with his willingness to use Rachel against her father. It's true that she asked him to do it, but that right there was a sort of line that, even though Rachel was willing to cross it, it might have been in Harvey's best interest to keep her from leaping over. Rather than unnerve Robert Zane and guarantee Pearson Hardman certain victory, the decision to pit him against Rachel enraged him and only made him work harder to screw Harvey and the firm—and their client by extension.
Negotiations crumbled to the point that the case was sent to trial and during the course of their research, Mike and Rachel uncovered another 113 women from Folsom Foods who were denied promotions. Their files all contained the same recurring coded words meant to cover up the fact that Folsom was indeed disqualifying female workers on the grounds of... being female. Classy! Undeterred, Papa Zane forged ahead and offered to merge with Pearson Hardman rather than take the mess to court. Jessica LOVED that idea. She loved it so much that she knowingly tied up a buttload of firm assets to handle the workload just to shove it in Zane's face. Zane passed the case on to... Daniel Hardman. And here I thought we'd put all that behind us.
Whatever, this is gonna be FUN. I've missed that smarmy bastard.
What did you think of Rachel's daddy woes?
– Donna Paulsen sass of the week: "I'm remembered fondly everywhere." <3 you.
– Louis's binder of himself photoshopped onto different presidents' heads was amazing and beautiful and I need to own it. NEED.
– "Speech #162: 14 Reasons Why I'm an Asshole." Lol.
– Are we supposed to like Katrina? I don't think I like Katrina, although watching her get the best of Louis was amazing. They're kind of awesome together in that they're both awful people.
– Donna was impressed that Louis knew who Zod was. I was more impressed that DONNA knew who Zod was and knew enough to be alarmed by the idea that Louis thought he was the Zod to Harvey's Superman... although when he put it like that, I was inclined to agree.
– Two episodes in a row full of merger/name-change talk. What do you think Pearson Hardman will be called by the end of the season?

Veterans Assistance Center to open
A group of student veterans at Clemson is opening a center on campus to help other veterans navigate the transition from the battlefield to campus. The Student Veterans Association will cut the ribbon Friday to open the Student Veterans Success Center and GI Bill Help Desk in Barre Hall room 229. Michael Daduk, executive director of Student Veterans of America, will speak at the ribbon-cutting. Daduk is a Marine veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He eventually left active service to complete his bachelor's degree at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. There, he started a chapter of Student Veterans of America.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/8/2013 (1460 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One woman's junk is another's jewelry.
That's the idea behind Riley Grae, an upstart "upcycled" fashion accessory line a trio of north Winnipeg teenagers are starting to spread across town.
"I go to lots of garage sales and thrift stores with my grandma and we always see brand-new games people are selling again," said Lauren Wittman, the 15-year-old Meadows West resident who started the line.
"It's easy enough to turn those things into other things. It seemed if someone's not going to buy it, it's a waste."
West has been making the jewelry since last August, using some birthday money to buy the supplies she needed to get started.
Recruiting her younger sister, Jenna, and cousin, Zoee, the three spend their time perusing for junk — old game pieces, keyboard keys, buttons, and fabric scraps.
Old paint chips? Film negatives? Plastic milk jugs? Perfect for shaping into unique earrings, said Wittman. Scrabble tiles? Material for a pendant necklace. Unused felt? A case for a pair of glasses.
"I always loved crafting and art and being environmentally conscious, but I wanted to try to make something for myself," said Wittman.
On Sat., Aug. 24, they'll be at the West Kildonan Community Farmers' Market in the Scoops parking lot at Main and Jefferson.

B.C. Family Bonus Program
The B.C. family bonus program (BCFB) provides non-taxable monthly payments to help low and modest income families with the cost of raising children under age 18. Benefits are combined with the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) and the B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit (BCECTB) into a single monthly payment.
Under proposed legislation, the Canada child benefit (CCB) will replace the universal child care benefit (UCCB), the CCTB, and the national child benefit supplement (NCBS). The first CCB payment will be issued on July 20, 2016 (subject to Parliamentary approval). The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will issue the last regular CCTB and UCCB payments on June 20, 2016. The changes to the federal child benefit programs will not affect the BCFB or the BCECTB.
The B.C. family bonus provides a benefit of up to $111 per child per month when combined with the National Child Benefit Supplement. Benefits are based on the number of children in the family and the family's net income.
Applying for the B.C. Family Bonus Program
The CRA administers this program for the province. If you're a new applicant, you need to apply for the CCTB. You don't need to apply separately for the B.C. family bonus – the CRA will use the information from your CCTB application to determine your eligibility. If you're eligible, the amount of any payments will be calculated automatically based on information from the tax returns you (and your spouse or common-law partner) file.
To estimate your total monthly child tax benefit payment (combined federal and provincial amounts) use the CRA's Child and Family Benefits online calculator.
For more information on the various B.C. benefit programs, please see the CRA webpage.
The following legislation applies to the B.C. family bonus program:
- Income Tax Act (B.C.) section 9 to 13
- Income Tax (B.C. Family Bonus) Regulation
- Order in Council No. 295

Drunk? Is it Safer to Drive or Walk?
Moral and legal implications aside, Steuteville takes issue with the premise behind the piece's analysis, "the conclusion of Levitt and Dubner is flat-out wrong. Nobody is going to walk 5 or 10 miles to a bar, but they will drive there. The average walking trip is a quarter mile or less. The average driving trip is 6-12 miles, according to the National Household Travel Survey."
"It goes without saying that the average drunk driving trip is significantly more dangerous to the driver than the average drunk walking trip to the pedestrian. The use of the per-mile basis is inappropriate and misleading - and these commentators should know that."

Okay this title may be a bit misleading, though it is meant to show the things that have been circling in the maelstrom of my mind.
First is Inactivity, I have been inactive on this wiki besides blog comments and talk pages for a while now, so I thought I should maybe explain why. Plain and simple I haven't had the drive for making anything for a while and have thought of many ideas that have never come to fruition such as another race of the Giths that have turned to the Plane of Shadow to be known as the Githildar, I have also made a new Combat Scout class which I have been meaning to test in a campaign but have had no opportunites but I have never gotten around to it, the second and third reasons are pretty much the same thing:work and school, work is evey Monday and Tuesday and take up most of my energy for those days so I have near no energy so I do nothing when I get home and school has gotten more serious for me since it is the last year and I want to graduate, and if you knew the depths my laziness can go to you would be shocked.
Now onto the Inspiration, I have lost it, there is nothing I can think of besides the aforementioned projects and have been meaning to make edits to the Mortem and Rylfyre races backstory and re-posting them but I can't think of anything or be bothered trying to think of anything though I do spend every spare thinking moment of work and school to think of stuff DnD related though there hasn't been many of them.
Lastly is Demon Lords, I have recently acquired a large number of DnD books for my computer and the first book to catch my eye was Fiendish Codex 1 - Hordes of the Abyss. Now I have always been a fan of demons because well let's be honest Balors are awesome, so I read through the information on the various Demon Lords of the Abyss and the more I read, the more I thought to myself "Gee, wouldn't it be awesome if I could allow players or myself to play a demon and ascend throught the hierarchy and become a Demon Lord and wage war on the other layers of the Abyss" and then I came across what will now and forever be my favorite Demon Lord: Pazuzu. After reading through the information on Pazuzu I thought "Gee, although the idea of being a Demon Lord is tempting it would also be fun and a lot more easier to manage for the DM if I just served as a general in a demonic army" so I then set myself through looking at the various Demons but none really shone out to me as a servant of Pazuzu so I to make a demno from the ground up using an existing race, so I grapped the closest race I could think of which was raptoran and tried to make it into a demon using only classes and templates and the closest thing I could come up with was the Half-fiend template and maybe the Corrupt and Feral templates from BoVD and Savage Species, but this didn't really shine out to me as a demonic servant and I couldn't think of a good class, as I wanted to try to be the epitome of natural weapon and flying combat or something close to that idea.
As such I have written this blog as I have both the Inactivity and Inspiration lost to me to make a workable way to become a Demon Lord so I hope that by reading this someone else may become inspired. If not I had fun writing this blog and I have probably forgot something that would have helped me achieve ny goal such as the Fiendish Brute class I have heard about and have seen a bit of but never fully read through, though from what I have read of it it doesn't seem to be what I am looking for. Anyway seeya later and I hope I one day return with inspiration so that I may contribute more, until then Merry Role-Rlaying and a Happy New Dice Set.

Nissan Motor Co. was poised to unveil to the press on Thursday an electric concept car that leans into corners like a motorcycle.
The Land Glider, a narrow, cocoon-shaped four-wheeler, will make its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, which opens to the public on Oct. 24.
The Land Glider tilts up to 17 degrees when turning corners and uses speed and steering-angle sensors to calculate the required amount of lean. Its large movable fenders allow the cabin to lean with the driver accordingly, the company said.
"It drives on the ground, but it looks like a glider flying in the air," said Kimiya Mochizuki, design director for the Land Glider at Creative Box Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nissan.
The glass-canopied roof and airplane-style steering yoke make drivers feel like they're piloting a glider instead, according to Mochizuki.
The Land Glider is targeted at city dwellers of all generations. The 3.1-meter-long, 1.1-meter-wide tandem two-seater is convenient for town use and can run 100 km on a single charge, Mochizuki said.
Nissan will also be exhibiting the Leaf, an electric vehicle that will go on sale in Japan, Europe and North America in 2010, and the Qazana, a compact sports car with the feel of an off-roader that appeared at the Geneva motor show in March.

IND 2011 second rounder
Both of these players could be brought in under our TPE from the Troy Murphy deal. Houston is roughly 3.5M over the cap. This would get them within 120K of the luxury tax. They could buy out a player to get under the cap so this deal would basically put about 7-8M dollars into their pockets with the savings on LT and the distribution of BRI.
We would obviously need to cut two players, which would probably be Solo and TJ. It doesn't seem like Houston is going to make the playoffs, so I highly doubt they would want to pay the LT.
We could make a follow up deal with them to get them the whole way under the LT by sending them Dahntay Jones and two first rounders for Jordan Hill and Ish Smith. We would obviously cut Ish Smith immediately, but we bring in the PF/C that would solidify our front court rotation for years to come.
Overall movement would look like;
Chuck Hayes
Courtney Lee
Jordan Hill
Dahntay Jones
2011 First Rounder
2011 Second Rounder
2013 First Rounder
(Basically $7-8M cash)
Our team look like this going forward:
PG - Collison/Price
SG - Rush/Lee/Stephenson
SF - Granger/George
PF - Hill/ Hansborough
C - Hibbert/McRoberts

Small dogs suffer from a canine equivalent of short-man syndrome, researchers believe, making them more aggressive.
Regardless of breed, the smaller the dog is, the more likely it is to be unruly, aggressive, noisy and prone to ''humping'', according to a study by the University of Sydney.
''Our research shows that certain physical characteristics in dogs are consistently associated with certain types of behaviour,'' said Professor Paul McGreevy, from the faculty of veterinary science. ''The shorter the dogs, the less controllable their behaviour is … Undesirable behaviours, such as owner aggression, or mounting, occur more often among small dogs.''
The study, published in the journal PLOS One, examined owners' reports of 8000 dogs across 80 breeds. It found 33 of 36 undesirable behaviours in dogs could be associated with height, body weight and skull shape.

UNIVERSITY experts have backed calls for an overhaul on the laws surrounding young drivers.
The findings of a major study by Cardiff University academics has boosted the campaign to cut the number of young people killed on the roads.
They said 17 to 24-year-olds should be banned from driving at night or carrying other young people as passengers - the key aim of the Lancashire Telegraph's Wasted Lives campaign, which has already been supported by MPs, charities and the influential transport select committee.
The previous Labour government turned its back on a graduated licence scheme, which would allow drivers to build up their skills and experience gradually.
But now the Cardiff study has given fresh impetus to the campaign.
With one in five new drivers crashing within the first six months, the team said many accidents could be avoided by targeting them with graduated licensing.
The researchers said the policy worked well in other countries.
And campaigners are now hoping to put pressure on new Transport Secretary Philip Hammond to change the law.
Ellen Booth, of road safety charity Brake, said the new government had shown signs of being willing to talk about the issue. She welcomed the team's findings, adding: "So much evidence shows that graduated licences are an effective way of reducing road deaths among young people."
Terry Hannon spearheaded the Wasted Lives campaign after his 22-year-old son Matthew was killed in a smash in Livesey Branch Road in 2006.
He said: "I agree with this to a certain degree, because something definitely should be done."
Mr Hannon said the move could be tough to enforce, and insisted more stringent penalties on young speeding drivers were needed in the meantime.

This year Tebbs Second Chances [Tebbs SC] celebrates its fifth year of distributing stationery to disadvantaged school children in West Africa.
Since it was founded by Fiona Luke, Tebbs SC has distributed stationery, reading books and computer equipment to over 4,000 children in seven schools in The Gambia and Sierra Leone.
The small team of volunteers never tell the school that they are coming along – they just turn up at the end of the school day [to cause less disruption] and make sure each child goes home with a stationery pack.


text: Fissidens fontanus (Us Fissidens) originates from USA. It is a very nice fissidens species and it is truely aquatic. The best part is that the rhizoids of Fissidens fontanus will cling on readily to wood or stones after a while, and so doesn't require frequent re-tying of the moss. Coupled with the fact that this fissidens is small in size and not very fast growing, one can see the potential of using Fissidens fontanus to cover the driftwood and Stones and create a natural aquarium landacape. Once the fissidens settled in and take 'root', it is virtually maintenance free.

Okay, so basically, I had brought the discussion up on Zeldapedia and I was wondering if it'd be good to work here. We'd get a little crew together and we'd work on a single walkthrough at a time. This way, we'd have better grammar included and better spelling, as well as more accurate information. Instead of the walkthrouhghs being subpages to the article in the namespace, it'd be a new namespace titled Walkthrough:
What do you guys think? Jäzzi 02:35, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Support: Sure. I realized that it would be difficult for people to find walkthroughs if they were subpages, so a new namespace would make sense. — ChaosVoid 07:50,4/12/2012
- Support: Sounds like a neat way to gain viewers of the wiki. — Wattz2000 20:49, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Update
Since we're only missing one of our consistent userbase, I'm going to go ahead and send in the special contact email. – Jazzi 22:10, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Update II
The namespace is up. We can start sorting out how the walkthroughs will run and how they'll be set up and everything. Jäzzi 03:19, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

4500 lives and billions of dollars for nothing!!
The Obama administration once again appears to have been caught off guard by an explosion of violence in a country U.S. forces helped liberate from a dictator.
Al Qaeda-aligned Sunni militants were advancing south and threatening to move on Baghdad on Thursday after overrunning the northern Iraq cities of Mosul and Tikrit -- with Iraqi government forces in rapid retreat.
White House and State Department officials say the Obama administration is considering sending additional aid, but have not specified what that might be. The Iraqi government reportedly is seeking U.S. airstrikes. Republican lawmakers and military analysts are urging the administration to quickly piece together a gameplan, but warn that advances made by the militant Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are confirming their "worst fears" about what would happen in the wake of the Obama-ordered U.S. troop withdrawal in 2011.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Thursday that the current national security team is a "failure," urging President Obama to get a "new team." He also took a shot at Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, saying: "We need a new chairman."
The escalating violence follows repeated assurances by the Obama administration that Al Qaeda is "on the run" and that its offshoots are not the threat they're made out to be.
As recently as Monday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said of the situation in northern Iraq, "I don't get the sense that they're gaining a lot of territory."
Obama also brushed off concerns about Al Qaeda affiliates during an interview with The New Yorker, in a piece published in January.
"If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant," the president said. That was in regard to concerns, at the time, that Islamist militants had taken over Fallujah -- the comment also followed Islamist militants overrunning the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans.
Yet in Iraq, militants with ISIS have made considerable gains since January. (They were listed in 2004 by the State Department as a terrorist organization under their old name, Al Qaeda in Iraq, shortly after the group formed.)
Gen. Jack Keane, former Army vice chief of staff and Fox News military analyst, said the administration has not put enough effort into forming a "comprehensive strategy" to partner with governments in the region to share intelligence and battle Al Qaeda affiliates.
"This caliphate exists, and it will be the most menacing thing in the Middle East if unattended," Keane said.
He acknowledged that the administration has "decimated" the Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan to a degree. But he said: "The fact of the matter is the Al Qaeda and its affiliates ... is on the rise in the Middle East and in Africa."
Keane also said the U.S. lost leverage with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whom Keane said needs to be saved "from himself." U.S. lawmakers have faulted Maliki's Shiite-led government for alienating the Sunni minority, in turn fueling tensions and giving Sunni militants an opening to exploit.
The Wall Street Journal reported that, privately, administration officials acknowledge they were caught off guard by the sudden developments in northern Iraq, where security forces abandoned their posts and militants overran key locations.
Military leaders reportedly said they thought Iraq's forces could hold off ISIS -- they were wrong.
Amid the deliberations, congressional Republicans continue to fume over the administration's response to the terror attack in Benghazi in 2012, for which nobody has yet been brought to justice, and have launched a formal select committee investigation.
The developments also follow President Obama foreign policy speech last month at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point where he backed a policy of restraint abroad and called for a wind-down of U.S. "military adventures."
Few expect that U.S. ground troops would be dispatched to Iraq, no matter how dire the situation becomes.
At issue now, among other things, is whether to provide more military aid and approve airstrikes. Maliki reportedly has sought U.S. airstrikes, but so far has been turned down.
A statement from the National Security Council made no commitment.
"We are not going to get into details of our diplomatic discussions but the Government of Iraq has made clear that they welcome our support in their effort to confront [ISIS]," spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said. "We have expedited shipments of military equipment since the beginning of the year, ramped up training of Iraqi Security Forces, and worked intensively to help Iraq implement a holistic approach to counter this terrorist threat. Our assistance has been comprehensive, is continuing, and will increase."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, in a statement overnight, offered "condolences" to the families of those killed, but did not specify what actions the administration would take.
"The United States will stand with Iraqi leaders across the political spectrum as they forge the national unity necessary to succeed in the fight against ISIL," he said, adding "we will also continue to provide, and as required increase, assistance to the Government of Iraq to help build Iraq's capacity to effectively and sustainably stop [ISIS's] efforts to wreak havoc in Iraq and the region."
To date, the U.S. has provided considerable military assistance. The State Department said Wednesday that that has included: 300 Hellfire missiles, millions of rounds of small arms ammunition, machine guns, grenades, rifles and more. Officials say the U.S. also supplied Bell IA-407 helicopters and is set to send over F-16 fighter jets.
A statement from Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz.,; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., blamed the current situation on the U.S. decision to withdraw all troops from Iraq.
"We call on the president to explain to Congress and the American people how he plans to address the growing threat to our homeland and our national security interests posed by the rapidly expanding Al-Qaeda safe haven in Iraq and Syria," they said.
What are we doing??? Why are we repeating Vietnam? Regardless of whether the war was "right" or not in your eyes, we invested time, money, and lives to remove an evil dictator and restore freedom in an unstable country. Now we are just abandoning all we did, and everything our soldiers died for? This to me is just sickening.
what say you?
I say that if the Iraqi Prime Minister keeps excluding Sunnis from local and national government, this will keep happening.
In the meantime, we're basically being blackmailed to take care of Iraq. It makes me angry, honestly.
We never restored freedom
We should have never been there and THIS is why.
We go back..for what? for more dead soldiers and civilians and another 10 years and another TRILLION (not Billion OP) ...
No Thanks I'll pass

Yep, Neither group wants to share government, they both want complete control which means, essentially, that they don't want a democratic type of government. That could possibly go back to the very nature of their beliefs and their way of life for generations. Democracy is not something that can be forced on a nation, the people, ALL the people of a nation have to want it and want it badly enough to allow people and groups they disagree with to have their say and their place in governing roles and decisions.
I can't figure out what people expect us to do, keep troops over there and fight indefinitly? If they haven't settled the problems by now, chances are they won't in the near future. Keeping troops there wouldn't solve the problems.
On December 17, 1998 The Washington Post reported, "The opening U.S. attack against Iraq yesterday involved more than 200 cruise missiles launched from ships in the Persian Gulf and scores of bombs dropped from aircraft flying from the carrier USS Enterprise against targets across the country, defense officials said. With the strikes planned to last at least three days and possibly longer, officials said U.S. and British warplanes stationed in Persian Gulf states and B-52 bombers operating out of the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia would join the effort, which aims to pummel a broad range of targets critical to Iraq's weapons manufacturing and President Saddam Hussein's hold on power."
In an August 3, 1999 interview, Richard Butler, former chief weapons inspector for UNSCOM, said that Saddam Hussein had an "addiction" for weapons of mass destruction.
On September 8, 2001 the Washington Times wrote about a recently declassified semiannual CIA report covering the period from July to December of 2000. The CIA reported to congress that, "In the absence of UNSCOM or other inspections and monitoring since late 1998, we remain concerned that Iraq may again be producing biological warfare agents. Iraq has continued working on its L-29 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program, which involves converting L-29 jet trainer aircraft originally acquired from Eastern Europe. It is believed that Iraq has conducted flights of the L-29, possibly to test system improvements or to train new pilots. These refurbished trainer aircraft are believed to have been modified for delivery of chemical or, more likely, biological warfare agents." The CIA reported that, "Although we were already concerned about a reconstituted nuclear weapons program, our concerns were increased last September when Saddam publicly exhorted his 'Nuclear Mujahidin' to 'defeat the enemy'."
On November 25, 2001 The Washington Post wrote an article with details regarding Iraq's germ warfare program. According to the article, U.N. weapons inspectors got their first glimpse of Iraq's biological weapons program during an August 1991 inspection of Salman Pak, one of Iraq's premier biological weapons facilities. Iraqi documents later obtained by the United Nations indicated that Baghdad subsequently filled more than 50 bombs and missile warheads with a liquid form of anthrax. The Washington Post also reported that Iraq acknowledged producing at least 19,000 liters of botulinum toxin, using more than half to fill at least 116 bombs and missile warheads.
On September 12, 2002 George W. Bush gave a speech before the United Nations. Armed with a point-by-point list of Saddam Hussein's transgressions included in a White House paper entitled "A Decade of Deception and Defiance" of the United Nations, the President detailed how Saddam continued to develop weapons of mass destruction, engage in egregious human-rights violations, participated in international terrorism, and sought to evade economic sanctions and kept Kuwaiti property that should have been returned after the 1991 Gulf War.
On September 24, 2002, the British government released a report titled "Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction: The Assessment of the British Government." It was the judgement of the British government that Iraq had: continued to produce chemical and biological agents; tried covertly to acquire technology and materials which could be used in the production of nuclear weapons; sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa; and had learnt lessons from previous UN weapons inspections and had already begun to conceal sensitive equipment and documentation in advance of the return of inspectors. In his January 28, 2003 State of the Union address, George Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." This quote would later be referred to as his "famous 16 words."
United Nations weapons inspectors returned to Iraq on November 27, 2002 for the first time since December 1998. In February 2003, one month prior to the outbreak of war, 14 shells containing mustard gas were destroyed in Iraq under UN supervision. According to the official United Nations report (page 30), samples taken from these shells showed the mustard gas produced over 15 years earlier was not degraded and "still of high quality."
On March 19, 2003 President George Bush announced, "My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger." Bush said, "We will meet that threat now, with our Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines, so that we do not have to meet it later with armies of fire fighters and police and doctors on the streets of our cities."
During the 9/11 hearings, former Clinton Defense Secretary William Cohen testified that the manager of a chemical weapons plant in Sudan (which was funded by Osama bin Laden and later destroyed by U.S. cruise missiles on Aug. 20, 1998) met in Baghdad with an Iraqi nerve gas expert.
On May 17, 2004, the U.S. military said a roadside bomb containing sarin nerve agent had recently exploded near a U.S. military convoy. The discovery of nerve gas was followed by a second revelation from the military that another shell, equipped with mustard gas, had been found two weeks earlier.
On January 25, 2006, Former Iraqi General Georges Sada gave an interview to FOXNews regarding Iraq's missing WMDs. Sada, a top military advisor and the number two man in the air force, claims that Iraq's chemical weapons were moved to Syria prior to the war. Georges Sada is the author of the book called, "Saddam's Secrets: How an Iraqi General Defied and Survived Saddam Hussein."
On April 12, 2006 the White House issued a press release in response to an article in the Washington Post that criticized the administration's claims about weapons of mass destruction and the justifications for war. It stated, "The Washington Post cites Iraqi WMD evidence as the only reason offered by President Bush for unseating Saddam Hussein..... But the President provided many other reasons for liberating Iraq." The press release from the White House listed six other reasons for the war: 1) Saddam Hussein Violated United Nations Security Council Resolutions; 2) Patrolling The UN-Mandated No-Fly Zone, U.S. And Coalition Forces Were Regularly Attacked; 3) Saddam Hussein Brutalized Iraq's Civilian Population; 4) Saddam Hussein Supported And Harbored Terrorist Organizations; 5) Saddam Hussein Had A History Of Pursuing And Using WMD; and 6) Removing Saddam Hussein Brought Freedom To The Heart Of The Middle East.
WMD found in Iraq. On June 21, 2006, Senator Rick Santorum (R, PA) called press conference and stated, "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons." Reading from a declassified report Santorum said, "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."
On January 28, 2011 United States Central Command (CENTCOM) declassified information regarding weapons of mass destruction (WMD) found in Iraq after the war. This information was obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and the report received stated that 4,251 various types of CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) weapons were found by multinational forces after the war. This count included filled as well as empty munitions. The report stated this number was not an official count as CENTCOM does not receive information from other government agencies. It is also possible additional weapons were found after the requested report as the information was dated December 2008 and (from the report) it appears chemical weapons were still being found in Iraq as late as October of that year.
On February 25, 2014 the Department of Defence declassified some information regarding Iraq's biological weapons program. A site exploitation team discovered 300 bags of castor beans at the Al Aziziyah Warehouse. A declassified report noted that castor beans could be used to make ricin poisen and it determined these were probably an element of lraq's CBW program. Another declassifed report stated that more than 80 vials of material were found in a baby milk container under the sink at a scientist's home. The vials contained clostridium botulinum, clostridium perfringens, bacillus thuringensis israelis, and other unidentified cultures. The report stated that Dr. Rihab Taha kept "good material" and worked on an anthrax program. The report concluded, "Materials could be used as seed-stock for restarting a BW program. Storage of cultures at homes indicates an intent to maintain a BW capability despite UN restrictions."

Quoting sweet-a-kins:
Obama told us that Al Qaeda has been decimated.
He said it. So it is so.
"If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant," the president said. That was in regard to concerns, at the time, that Islamist militants had taken over Fallujah -- the comment also followed Islamist militants overrunning the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans
Obama's knowledge on these matters never fails to make me want to vomit. Fucking idiot.
Wait, when our troops left Iraq and some cheered Obama for it, they were told Obama just followed the Bush admins plans so he didn't deserve any credit but now that it's a mess it's Obama's fault?
The problems being experienced are why many opposed invading Iraq in the first place. Saddam was an evil POS but he kept the opposing factions in line and Iraq was fairly secular under him. Maybe one day we will lern to stop mucking about in their politics since we only spend lots of money and lives only for them to return to their drama when we leave.

The new-flanged Pope Francis 1, from St Francis of Assisi, means reformer
of the church. This goes in line with a prophecy by one Prophet Micah, who
prophesied regarding all the Popes and indeed it all came to pass. He said
the 111th pope will resign and the 112th pope will bring a number of
reforms in the Catholic Church. These reforms include, decriminalize Rev
Fathers marriage and other things that is irreverent and not in line with
catholic teachings. According to the presage this 112th pope will be the
last pope and after him, there will be no pope.
You see the Correlation between the name of this pope and his mission in
the said prophesy?
Zealous Catholics will gust me over this piece, but am of the outlook that
this prophesy connote the end of the world in next to no time. I can make
out and sense that the world is positioning itself for anti-Christ.
A fanatical study I have made on this prophesy, be evidence for, and
indeed with happenings of this day will describe as a fool the one who will
bastardize this discovery

Del Monte Fresh Produce has signed a five-year extension of its lease with the Port of Hueneme, Calif.
Since its operations at the port began in 1979, Del Monte's volume there has gone from 100,000 boxes of fresh produce for the regional market to more than 325,000. The company handles fresh bananas, pineapple, honeydew and cantaloupe at the port.
"We're very happy with the continuation of our presence on the West Coast," Del Monte port manager Chuck Caulkins said in a news release. "The Port has been a valuable partner in helping us stay competitive in an increasingly regulated business environment."
The extension applies to a 1995 agreement between Del Monte and the Port of Hueneme. The agreement was announced shortly after the port held its second annual banana festival Sept. 28.
"Del Monte is one of the event's top banana sponsors supporting the event, contributing $5,000 and providing thousands of bananas," port chief executive officer and executive director Kristin Decas said in the release.
When Del Monte arrived at the port in 1979, there were no refrigerated facilities and bananas were unloaded box-by-box on an elevated conveyor connected to the ship. Longshoremen put the 40-pound boxes on a staged pallet by the wharf.
In 1988, pre-palletized boxes made it possible to offload directly.
In 1995, the port built a 30,000-square foot refrigerated facility for Del Monte with a capacity of 2,500 pallets. A 56,000-square foot expansion was added in 2005, creating capacity for other fruit varieties.

God's biggest assignments have always been entrusted to those leading a small tribe. From the twelve families of Israel to early Christians who met in one another's homes, great leaders begin by serving a core group of people who ripple outward for ever-extending social and spiritual impact. They go big by leading small.
Today, leaders don't fail because they lack vision. They fail because they neglect their tribe. It could be a father losing sight of his family, a lead pastor failing to leverage the strengths of his staff, or a small group coordinator ignoring a tiny but important process.
"Tribal Church" helps pastors recognize the potential and power of various tribes within their congregations--one family, a network of small groups, maybe an entire age group--and then recalibrate ministry efforts to maximize the impact of each. Steve Stroope has spent three decades mastering the art of leading small in a church that has multiplied from dozens to over ten thousand. He explains why big impact does not come from any sort of mega-church ambition. It rather comes by attending to the little details and the smallest tribes.
"Steve Stroope has done us a favor by collecting three decades of experience into one book. One glance at the manuscript and I thought of a dozen uses for it. First, it will strengthen my leadership skills. I can envision our leadership team reading it as a group. Seminaries should tap into its wisdom. Thank you, Steve, for living out an example of godly leadership."
Max Lucado, pastor and best-selling author
"Steve Stroope is one of the finest pastor-leaders of our generation. In his candid look at Lake Pointe Church's first 30 years, Steve shares helpful insight, wisdom, and practical experience that can help churches become more fruitful in fulfilling Christ's Great Commission. With a heart for local and global missions, Steve has modeled leadership methods that have been tested in the modern church world and can be great tools for equipping leaders in the days ahead."
Bryant Wright, senior pastor, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church of Marietta, GA, and president of the Southern Baptist Convention
"Steve Stroope is one of the most quietly influential voices in the growth and robustness of American Christianity. He is a collector of good ideas, what he calls 'little things, ' the small but essential acts that cumulatively demonstrate the character of Christ in American church leadership. This book is by a leader I admire."
Bob Buford, founder of Leadership Network and author of "Halftime" and "Finishing Well
""I've known Steve for 15 years and he's the real deal. His life and leadership inspires me and so does the tribe of Lake Pointe Church. The straightforward, practical wisdom in this book will recalibrate any leader and any church at any stage of the game."
Bill Hybels, senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
"Steve Stroope is more than knowledgeable about leaders

LONDON (Jan. 7)
Authoritative sources today vigorously denied there was any foundation for a report published in today's Daily Herald to the effect that a representative of the German Government recently conferred with Jewish leaders here and helped draw up a tentative plan for mass exodus of German Jews.
According to these sources, there is no basis to the reports that the Jewish leaders entered into an agreement with the German Government involving the export of German goods.
" Jewish leaders and the Jewish Community," it was stated, "have not made, have not considered and would not consider any arrangement such as suggested, that emigrants' capital can only be gotten out in German goods which would be sold abroad for the purpose of breaking the anti-Nazi boycott. That you can take as being absolutely definite."
The same sources declared that the statement issued in New York by the executive committee of the Zionist Organization of America was "perfectly true."

Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. At this time, I yield 5 minutes to the author of the bill, Congressman Franks from Arizona.
Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Young and Chairman Hastings and the House leadership for bringing this bill to the floor today, as well as the bipartisan group of cosponsors for their support.
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2938, the Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Clarification Act, seeks to prevent Las Vegas-style casino gambling in the Phoenix metropolitan area on lands purchased by the Tohono O'odham Nation.
Mr. Speaker, the Tohono O'odham Nation has tried to manipulate the
Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Clarification Act of 1986 to acquire lands for gambling which are more than 100 miles from the Tohono O'odham's existing reservation. This ``reservation shopping'' for casino gambling purposes is contrary to the express and public commitments that the Tohono O'odham made between 2000 and 2002 to the other 16 Indian tribes in Arizona, the State, and the voters of Arizona when it openly and definitively supported passage of Proposition 202, a State referendum to limit casino gambling in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Indeed, while the Tohono O'odham was in negotiations with the other tribes to craft a gaming compact agreement, they were simultaneously in the process of covertly purchasing attractive land in the Phoenix metropolitan area for casino gambling purchases. Thus, the bipartisan cosponsors of H.R. 2938 are simply trying to keep the Tohono O'odham Nation to its publicly stated commitment not to engage in casino gambling in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Mr. Speaker, during the subcommittee hearing on this bill, witnesses made it clear that there is a problem and a serious threat to existing gaming structure in Arizona if the Tohono O'odham Nation is able to develop a Las Vegas-style casino in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
The passage of H.R. 2938 will prevent an ominous precedent that could lead to an expansion of off-reservation casinos and dangerous changes to the complexion of tribal gaming in the other States across the country in which Indian tribes can use front companies to buy up land and declare it part of their sovereign reservation for gaming purposes.
Additionally, Mr. Speaker, even if the casino weren't in violation of Federal law--which it is--but if it weren't, claims that the operation would create jobs and benefit the economy of the surrounding area are woefully misinformed at best and shamefully dishonest at worst. The most frequently cited job creation numbers that have been thrown about during this debate come almost without exception from a study commissioned by the Tohono O'odham tribe themselves. The study was conducted by the Spectrum Gaming Group. Tellingly, multiple organizations asked the tribe to release the data and the methodology supporting this so-called ``study,'' which was released roughly 3 years ago. To this day, the tribe continuously to steadfastly refuse. In other words, the tribes released a slew of numbers extolling the supposed amazing economic benefits of their casino, then refused to tell anybody how they came up with the numbers.
Far from economically benefiting the West Valley, one recent well documented study found that casino operations would ultimately provide $172,500 of revenue annually for the city of Glendale--keep in mind the surrounding areas would not benefit from the normal sales taxes, bed taxes, and property taxes because the casino, being on tribal land, would be exempt from all three. Meanwhile, Glendale estimates an added cost of $3.6 million per year just for the additional cost of public safety services necessary to such a large operation. Of course, it should always be remembered, Mr. Speaker, that casino revenues are primarily comprised of gambling losses that would otherwise have found their way into the economy in more productive sectors.
Mr. Speaker, my bill would not seek to take any lands away from Tohono O'odham. Consistent with the intent of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, my bill merely prevents the Tohono O'odham from building a gambling casino on certain lands, as it previously agreed it would never do.
I respectfully ask my colleagues to join me and the members of Arizona's delegation in supporting this bill.
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I can say that this is somewhat difficult for me because I have a rule about laws that are being passed in Members' districts, and I usually support. Mr. Franks represents that district.
And I will say, Mr. Grijalva has made some statements. I would suggest Congress makes laws, and Congress can remake laws. Lawsuits, that's a scare tactic. They can sue all they want. One of the problems we have in America today is we have too many lawyers, so you can sue anything and anybody, anytime, anywhere.
This is a battle about a State and a large group of American Natives that reached an agreement. Mr. Gosar said this very clearly. He was there, and they reached an agreement and they are signatories. We had a hearing on this legislation. We had a quite intensive hearing, and that was brought up. And, of course, they can cite all the arguments they want, but they also understand that when a State is involved under Native gaming laws, which I and Mr. Udall sponsored, the State had to be directly involved; otherwise, you wouldn't have gambling anyplace in Arizona because the State would not have agreed to that if there hadn't been an agreement between all of the tribes, there would be no more than was established in the compact. And I think we have to consider the State's belief in this because that does affect the State. They probably wouldn't have any gambling at all.
This money from those five existing casinos is shared, even by the tribe requesting this casino outside their territory where they have their own casinos, they want it in the Phoenix area, and we all know that. This is about money. There's no doubt about that. But what concerns me the most is the compact. When I listen to this, when you make an agreement and you're a tribe and you agree to something, don't try to go around and change that later on by asking some lawyers. We talk about finances and where the finances are coming from. We can find that out, too, later on.
So with the understanding that this is an Arizona battle, but as chairman, I have to listen to both sides, and right now I come down on the side that Arizona, the State of, has an agreement, and we ought to live by it.
I yield back the balance of my time.

Referee Nicola Rizzoli. Photo: Getty Images
Italian Nicola Rizzoli has been selected to referee the World Cup final, FIFA's referee chief Massimo Busacca confirmed.
Rizzoli officiated in the group games Spain v the Netherlands and Nigeria v Argentina, as well as Argentina's quarter-final against Belgium.
Many Germany players also know him as he was in charge of the 2013 Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
The choice of Rizzoli is seen as a surprise because a referee from outside the European and South American confederations was expected to officiate the game at the Maracana.
More than 25,000 soldiers and police - the biggest security detail in Brazil's history - will be deployed around Rio de Janeiro for the decider.
Jose Mariano Beltrane, security secretary for the state of Rio de Janeiro, said there would be 9300 Brazilian defence forces and at least 10,000 military police.
''This will be the biggest security operation that the city or country has ever seen,'' he said.
''We need to ensure this goes off like all the other games in the World Cup.''
Asked about the large numbers, Beltrane said they were justified and also pointed out the increase in tourists and the presence of heads of state at the final.
''I prefer to have a great number of men rather than to be caught by surprise,'' he said.
Beltrane gave no figures about levels of policing at previous matches at the Maracana. He said policing would be stepped up around the stadium and in the south zone of Rio, which includes the famed Copacabana and Ipanema beach areas.
About 75,000 are expected to attend the final.
