No matter how controversial the use of drones to kill al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders in Afghanistan or Pakistan may be, historians in the future won’t have to struggle over ambiguous, fragmentary evidence about who ordered them. Everyone understands it was President Barack Obama.
It wasn’t always so clear-cut.
In stark contrast, a half-century later there is still a lingering controversy over whether the Central Intelligence Agency’s efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro (and some other Third World leaders) were ever authorized by Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. By the CIA’s own admission, we do know the Agency was involved in attempts to kill/overthrow Castro as the leader of Cuba. But the doctrine of plausible deniability meant there was no paper trail—an express order—traceable from the CIA back to the Oval Office. Consequently, various defenders of these presidents have often claimed (the late Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. comes to mind) that it was unthinkable that President Kennedy would ever have given an order to “eliminate” Castro. More objective observers, noting the cold-blooded qualities required of and sometimes displayed by presidents, consider it entirely likely that in some cryptic, unrecorded way, Eisenhower and Kennedy did tell their heads of the Central Intelligence Agency to do so.
Curiously, since it was the CIA that attempted to kill Castro in the Eisenhower-Kennedy era, the question of whether its directors authorized those attempts might seem more easily answered. Indeed, evidence is reasonably clear that Allen W. Dulles, who served Eisenhower as director of central intelligence (DCI) for eight years and then Kennedy for nine months, sanctioned such operations.
Nonetheless, when evidence of the CIA assassination plots surfaced publicly a decade and a half later, the retired McCone insisted he had not known of any such plans. McCone advocated many aggressive actions against the Cuban leader’s regime, but claimed to have feared excommunication from the Catholic Church if he even discussed, much less approved, assassination plots. Yes, he recalled, a few colleagues in the Kennedy administration had occasionally made passing remarks about getting rid of Castro, but he had always squelched those suggestions.
A Senate select committee headed by Frank Church (D-Idaho) in the mid-1970s investigated, among other things, assassination plots from the Eisenhower-Kennedy era. Several CIA and other Kennedy administration officials had vague memories of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara raising the idea at a 10 August 1962 meeting, and McCone was supposed to have fiercely objected to the topic being discussed. Yet the official, detailed notes from that meeting do not show the topic being raised, and McNamara and other key officials who were there claimed to recall no such conversation.
Now, however, new and dispositive evidence is available derived from a meeting held eleven days later. We recently found notes from a cryptic telephone call McCone made to Secretary of State Dean Rusk on 21 August 1962, notes that have sat unnoticed for years in a box at the National Archives. They support the claim that while McCone opposed any open discussion of assassination proposals, he was witting and did not oppose the efforts as a matter of principle.
The telephone transcript shows a troubled McCone calling Rusk at 6 PM about a meeting held at noon that day in the secretary’s office. Originally, the gathering had been scheduled to discuss problems in South Vietnam, but the evening before, the eight participants had agreed “to stretch out” the meeting so “they [could] talk further about Cuba.” And as it turned out, Cuba had dominated the agenda.
The sudden shift in focus was for a good reason. US intelligence was reporting that the Soviet Union had brought 5,000 or so personnel into Cuba in the previous seven weeks; dozens of ships had docked, and tons of equipment had been unloaded “under maximum security.” The timing of the build-up coincided with a trip Raúl Castro had recently made to Moscow. In point of fact, of course, the build-up was just getting started, and would culminate in the Cuban missile crisis two months later.
The noon meeting could hardly have been held at a higher level. In addition to Rusk and McCone, the participants had included Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the de facto overseer of Operation MONGOOSE, the covert program designed to undermine and overthrow Castro’s government; Defense Secretary McNamara; Deputy Under Secretary of State U. Alexis Johnson; General Maxwell Taylor; General Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and McGeorge Bundy, the president’s special assistant for national security affairs. Nonetheless, something was said during the elite meeting that troubled McCone.
McCone’s own official notes of the meeting show that there was a general consensus the situation in Cuba “was critical and that the most dynamic action was indicated.” McNamara “expressed strong feelings that we should take every possible aggressive action,” and Robert Kennedy wondered what “aggressive steps could be taken.” Yet the meeting ended on an “inconclusive” note.
What was discussed, although not reflected in the DCI’s official notes, was the subject of McCone telephone call to Rusk. (Like other senior State Department officials, the secretary of state had a staffer transcribe the gist of his telephone calls; whether McCone knew this is unknown.) A “question came up this a.m. in connection with an individual that should not come up in mtgs.,” McCone said. He added that he “does not think we should countenance talking or thinking about that.” Rusk was the opposite of the hard-charging, often-agitated McCone. The secretary almost never raised his voice, speaking instead in a monotone, and had a personality that some found calming and others thought just plain dull. Characteristically, Rusk tried to calm the DCI down. “Given the particular 8 people” involved in the meeting, Rusk observed, he was not worried that the forbidden subject had been broached. He agreed, nonetheless, that such a sensitive matter should not have been discussed so openly, in a minuted meeting.
Seemingly mollified, McCone then “mentioned he and Sec sitting down” to talk privately—presumably about the forbidden matter—but that in any other forum the “Sec should take posture of not countenancing it.” Again, “Sec agreed.” McCone then asked Rusk to pass this understanding onto Alex Johnson, Rusk’s representative to the Special Group Augmented, which oversaw covert action against Cuba.
Given the context of the admittedly brief telephone call, it is hard to believe the “individual” discussed in the morning meeting was anyone other than Fidel Castro. And the posture McCone advised Rusk to adopt—not to countenance talking about it—exhibits a fine understanding of how plausible deniability was constructed and supposed to work. It did not mean there was to be no chain of authority and command—only that the decision should not be traceable to senior officials, much less the ultimate authority in the Oval Office.
Although the telcon transcript clarifies several aspects regarding McCone’s knowledge of the assassination efforts in 1962, it doesn’t answer all questions. Left unaddressed is what McCone knew about an entirely different set of plans in the fall of 1963, specifically, the plot to eliminate Castro through the offices of Rolando Cubela, aka AMLASH, a disaffected Cuban revolutionary. After the 1962 missile crisis, McCone’s stock with the Kennedy brothers fell dramatically. They resented his willingness to accept so much of the public credit for uncovering the Soviet missiles before they could become operational, and he was not privy to the administration’s most sensitive secrets.
all these stories are just the tip of the iceberg. If they come out, blood will flow. For example, Robert Kennedy personally managed the operation on the assassination of Castro.
David M. Barrett, a professor at Villanova University and member of Washington Decoded’s editorial board, is the co-author with Max Holland of the forthcoming book, Blind over Cuba: The Photo Gap and the Missile Crisis.
 Schlesinger’s authorized biography of Robert Kennedy absolved the Kennedy brothers of knowledge and responsibility for the assassination plots against Castro, e.g., “The agency, without consulting superior authority, resuscitated the assassination project on its own.” Arthur M.

Actually, this is not first use of the McCone protest. Published in 2006, Bayard Stockton's FLAWED PATRIOT clearly refers to this on page 149. He offers that the call was made on the insistence of William Harvey. [Where was Richard Helms?!] The book was completed posthumously and sometimes suffers on that account. Specifically, there is no citation for this extraordinary call.
[Editor's Note: The article is about the telephone conversation between McCone and Rusk, not McCone and McNamara, which is the conversation that Stockton mentions on page 149 of FLAWED PATRIOT. Both calls stemmed from the same meeting, however.

Collecting scale models is one of the most popular as well as satisfying hobbies in the world. There are various kinds of collectors and most of the time they consider this as a passion and not as a hobby. To be honest, collecting these amazing toys or models takes patience, time and money. So if you are looking for a hobby just to kill time, this is not for you. But if you are a passionate collector or if you have a desire to own a valuable collection of amazing scale models, this guide will provide you some valuable tips in your adventure. First, you have to keep in mind that this hobby needs dedication. And if you are determined, you can own one of the best scale model collections in the world and that will satisfy you, indeed!
As a rookie or a newbie in collecting scale models, first thing you have to decide is whether you are going to collect these models or to build models. Both collecting and modelling scale models are equally satisfying. For example, collectors tend to keep model kits unopened with original packaging and with time they can collect a huge collection with a good value. And modelers tend to build models from pieces. Interesting thing is that you can find amazing models like rc model online shop Hong Kong or scaled hot wheels as a collector or as a modeler!
One of the most common mistakes that every rookie hobbyist makes is buying scale model lots without considering the price. When you first get into this hobby, it is oddly satisfying and very interesting and this leads to many mistakes. So first, make a list of models that you want to buy and then do a proper solid research about them. That way you can find out market values and more detains. Based on that and our budget you can make a better solution instead of wasting money on useless models.
There are two main types of collectibles. They are classic or vintage and ongoing models. If you are a new collector, you should focus on buying ongoing scale models. There are various websites which are reliable and allow you to buy scale model Hong Kong online and they are not too pricey. Once you have a good collection of ongoing scale models you can focus on vintage or classic models, because they are pricey and they are hard to find.
There are models and model kits that can help you have a good time when you are free, but before making any decision always find the best deals. That will, of course, save you a lot of money!

This week, the angels guide us through an exercise to understand the true nature of God... and ourselves!
I'll share a few ideas about how you can experience that love more often. Enjoy a loving Valentine's gift to yourself!
With a single act of will, you can dream up entire worlds in your imagination. You can imagine your perfect home, your perfect partner, your ideal life. You can be and do anything you like in these realms inside of you. You can fly, swim, play music, paint, write poetry, do great feats of strength, help thousands... for within the realms of your imagination, anything is possible. In your inner world you have no limits.
You can create a perfect and beautiful version of yourself as you know yourself now. You can create another version of yourself, living an entirely different, but also amazing life. You can get so happy with this exercise that you create numerous perfect versions of yourself, all doing different things, living in different ways, behaving differently. You love each and every one of these. You do not love one more than the other, for all are beautiful and perfect and living their own version of a perfect life.
Suppose one of you (still in your imagination) is a world traveler. Another lives in communion with nature in a beautiful cabin in the woods. Still another is a strong and kind Olympic athlete. Yet one more is a poet. You have created them in your imagination... and now you give them free will. You wonder what they will become, what they will do with their gift of freedom. You can't wait to see what each one will create! You sit back, observe, and simply love and support each and every one of them. They exist within you, and you exist within them.
Sometimes, however, even in your inner paradise, these characters forget your original vision for them. The athlete starts to believe in limits and gets injured. You gently whisper... "Use your will to surrender to me for a moment and I will see you whole and healed." As they release their grip on thinking in terms of limitation and injury, you are allowed to assert your loving will and see them heal.
The person in the cabin becomes lonely and you gently whisper, "Stop focusing on being lonely. Get out and take the long walks in nature that you crave. Share openly with others all you have learned and you will find the most perfect and beautiful partner. I will imagine this for you." While you could easily imagine a partner simply appearing out of mid-air in their reality, this wouldn't fit with the tangible reality they have accepted. So you must guide them, whisper to them, help them overcome their resistance and then they will have the partner of their dreams.
The poet starts to wonder if anyone can see the world as beautifully as they and becomes despondent. You whisper... "The world needs your vision. You don't have a clue whose lives you have affected. Now that I know you want acknowledgment stop insisting you are lonely and misunderstood and then I can guide you towards those who will sing your praises. I am you. I want this for you because I created you and I love you."
Suppose one of these characters awakens, and hears your whispers. He or she says, "My goodness, I just heard guidance! I just felt an exquisite love! I am part of something so much larger. I wonder who I really am?" They go into a silent, deep space within themselves, and only through feeling, know the magnitude of your love for them." They hear your guidance. They feel your love. And you feel their love for you... the creations of your own mind have become their own persons and they love you. There is no feeling quite so exquisite as knowing your creation loves you in return!
In this fashion dear ones, you expand your understanding of who you are and all you can be. You love. You feel loved. You want harmony and the best life for each character you have created within you, for these are all versions of yourself. You know yourself to be far more than you ever dreamed you could be.
Now, dear ones, you understand God, for you are God's inner characters. You are God's dreams of one of countless perfect versions of itself, given free will, loved beyond reason, and always guided. Sit in silence at times and feel the magnitude of the love that you live within. You can never be without it.
As I child I learned I was a creation of God. I never quite understood that. Perhaps God picked up a lump of clay, made a mini-me, and breathed life into it. Then he plopped me into my mommy as a tiny cell until I grew into a whole baby? That never quite felt right! Something in me always felt there was more to the story.
As I grew and started to understand the mystical nature of life, the very first thing that happened was that my ego resisted the notion that I was one of God's beautiful dreams. "No way! I don't live inside of anything! I'm real! Not made up!" ...As if being dreamed up and loved by the creator of universes wasn't enough, my ego rebelled in a mighty way! I wanted to be important! I wanted to be special! I didn't want to be some puppet inside the Divine mind who was going to be jerked around if I didn't do what God wanted!" I never consciously thought those thoughts, I just witnessed the stirring of ego's illusions and resistance.
As I started to connect with this love that lives inside, however, the ego calmed down. It felt pretty blissful to surrender to the magnificent Presence that lives within all of us. It was mind blowing as I settled into the real understanding that our free will gives us the power to create whatever we wish.
It felt delicious to know I wasn't and could never ever be alone. I felt surrounded in love, grounded in love, swimming in love. In my most foul mood and loneliest moments, I realized I was simply lost in illusions... Love is and was always there, waiting for me to acknowledge it. I felt more "myself," not less, when I surrendered to this Presence. Life became so much easier.
Now my first go-to solution to all of life's challenges is to sit quietly, relax, and remind myself that I am enveloped in a love more powerful and vast that I can possibly imagine. I literally sit, breathe, and start to think about how magnificent it is to be embraced, created, and filled by a love so vast and magnificent that it moves oceans, creates stars, turns galaxies, and inhabits everything in the known and unknown universe.
Some say it takes years of meditation to reach this point. I have never meditated consistently. Some say it takes self sacrifice, special diets, certain disciplines, etc. to reconnect with the Creator's love. I say all it takes is the ability to bring yourself into the present moment, however you do that, and to connect with the energy of love, and then choose to keep focusing on it while it amplifies.
Here are some pointers to understand God, and your true nature more deeply this week.
1. Imagine three versions of yourself all living amazing lives - anything you like. Then ask them what they would like to do next.
For example as I write this, I imagine one of me living in a beautiful dream home I've seen online near nature with views that expand my heart, doing more online classes and gazing, writing books, and teaching more. She wants to write more books and share all she knows.
There is another version living on the beach somewhere remote, eating mangoes, practicing mental mastery, and simply relaxing as I quietly meditate on the world's behalf... She tells me that what is up next is simply a nice walk in the jungle followed by hours of quiet explorations out of body and some painting... Painting? Really? That was unexpected!
You can go on and create as many version of you as you like! As you get to know them, you will also be getting to know your own deeper dreams. You will be relating to them as God relates to you.
Just sit and feel your love for them, as strongly as you would for children if you have them, or your pets, or a prized creation. In your imagination surround the with love. Imagine them glowing with love. Imagine them living a beautiful life.
3. Now, sit quietly and feel God's love for you.
Now acknowledged that you are like one of these characters living within the Divine mind, swimming and breathing in love. Really look around your room until you are all there and full present. Think of someone or something you love until you feel love in your heart.
Now, shut your eyes. Breathe deeply and imagine a vast and magnificent energy of love coming up from deep within you, filling you, spilling over into your home, your life, every aspect of your existence. Enjoy the feeling.
Sitting inside of this Presence that dreams us into being and dreams entire universes might make you feel small at first... until you realize that this presence of love that lives within all things is You! Amazing, yes? Enjoy your magnificence!

Photos speak more than words. Photography prints tell a better story than most words ever will and that is the truth that we have been seeing constantly. People no longer sit and write about memories, do they? They do not. They just click photographs. Photographs capture a lot of things, a lot of emotions, a lot of detail and a lot of colour. This is probably one of the reasons that photography as a hobby or as a profession are that popular in today’s modern world. When people are clicking amazing pictures with high resolution cameras and the latest gadgets, especially for things like urban photography, people often ignore one important aspect when it comes to posting these said pictures on the web. And that thing is optimizing the photos. Optimization is really important when it comes to posting on the web. The photos that are obtained in high res cameras have very large file sizes because they capture a lot of detail in the photographs. You might be thinking that optimizing means making the photo sizes so low that they do not look as good as they did before. But that is not the truth. Photography blogs often optimize their photos to make it more friendly for the web.
Consider a scenario like this, you are on a travel website that is supposed to have a lot of beautiful pictures of many travel destinations across the world. Now, you eagerly click on a link to see some pictures of a specific place and you wait while the aerial photography pictures load. Now, the attention span of people who are excited are very less, especially if you are planning a holiday of some sorts, if the pictures do not load fast, then you will close that website and go to try another website. Now, this will be a huge loss for you because you might not find pictures as good as these anywhere else. If you are the person who runs the travel website, then it is an even bigger loss for you because you just lost a potential customer without even having a fighting chance because your picture did not load properly. This would be a big blow if you are featuring some commercial photography on your website. You, the owner of the website, the person who clicked the picture and the person who is supposed to see the picture have all lost out on something.
This small scenario demonstrates how important it is to optimize pictures for the web. There are many ways for a person to optimize their pictures for the web. Many people have the wrong impression that after you optimize your picture all of its clarity will be lost and it will not good anymore. Well, the problem with that is, if you do not optimize them properly then you might end up wasting a good photograph. But if you optimize the photograph properly, then there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Modern photoshop tools and other tools and software have increased capabilities to optimize pictures while retaining most of the clarity. This is achieved by different file formats and encodings. Most photography sites all use some or the other way to optimize these pictures so that they are able to load faster.
How to optimize photos for the web?
Open the photo that you want to optimise on the photo shop software application.
Do any editing that you need to do, like adding or removing layers, removing any small imperfections and so on.
IN the file menu, click on the export option that is displayed.
Now choose the option that says “Save for Web” from the screen.
Once you do this, a separate window will be opened in the photoshop software. This window will help you choose many of the settings that can be altered by you.
IN this new window, you can choose the quality that you want in the export file. This is again dependent on how big a file you want.
Choose the quality setting very high and the file size will remain too big, choose a very low one and it will not be good to see.
A 60 should be an ideal quality setting.

There is a bug in user handling the current release (0.2.0) of open-source Drone.IO. The only way of adding users to you Drone server (except yourself - that you add in the install process) is by inviting them via email. Problem is that the invitation emails lead to a form which requires the user to be logged in - a classic catch 22.
1. Enable open invitations (temporarily if your server is going to be private).
2. Have the users request their own invite on the login screen.
3. After the user accepts the invite, go into your team settings and invite them using the same email address they used to register.
4. After all users have registers, close open invitations if your server is private.
The invitation problem is alledgedly fixed in version 0.3.0, but that's not ready yet.

A round-up of the week’s personal finance news, by Tim Bennett.
• If you are looking for a new mortgage, you can now use Google’s new mortgage comparison tool to search around 5,000 products. It’s asked mortgage firms to follow a code of conduct that caps total fees at 1% of the value of the loan. Go to www.google.co.uk/compare/mortgage.
• Phoning relatives in far-flung corners of the world this Christmas? Kara Gammell in The Daily Telegraph has tips on keeping your costs down. Check whether the calls can be included in your landline or mobile package – you can often bolt them on temporarily. If you want to keep tabs on exactly what you, or your children, are spending, use an international call card. Pre-loaded with credit, these are available in most supermarkets and allow you to call international numbers for as little a 1p-2p a minute. For example, Tesco’s card lets you phone Israel for 1p a minute to a landline and 3p to a mobile phone.
• More than four million mortgage holders are currently paying their lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), reckons HSBC. Yet with the average SVR at 4.86%, many could probably get better deals, especially as the bank reckons 3.6 million are on loan-to-value ratios of under 85%. If you’re one of them, make carrying out a New Year review a priority.
• The annual individual savings account (Isa) allowance is set to increase to £11,520 from April, but savers shouldn’t cheer too loudly, says Capital Economics’ Vicky Redwood. Unfortunately, interest rates are falling as banks take advantage of the government’s Funding for Lending scheme. Currently the best deal is Coventry Building Society’s 60-day notice account, paying 3.1% (variable rate includes a 0.6% bonus after 12 months).
• Be alert for carbon credit scams. As Thisismoney.co.uk’s Tony Hetherington reports, the police are cracking down on these scams, which involve slick sales techniques being used to shift certificates that are supposedly linked to environmental projects. The certificates are usually worthless. Yet savers are persuaded to hand over money under the “misguided belief that environmental investments cannot fail”, as one Detective Inspector puts it.

Here are links to all known trip reports for August (either entirely in August or starting in August and finishing in September).
August remains hot and provides an excellent time to combine a birding and family holiday. Autumn migration starts in earnest this month providing some exciting birding, especially around the few areas holding standing water such as the Kalloni and Polichnitos saltpans.
Robin Edwards report continues to prove that there is plenty of good birding to be had mid-summer.

Did you know that Get to Know Your Customers Day comes around once every quarter? As a business owner, manager or staff member, it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day needs of serving customers and keeping your business running smoothly.
Use this third Thursday in January, April, July and October as a reminder to spark up a conversation with your clients. It's not just a nice gesture — it's the tried and true method for learning your customers' pain points, improving your products and increasing your customer lifespan.
Ask (and reward) your customers for taking a brief survey. What are your patrons’ least favorite and most loved menu items? What can you do to make your services more convenient? Make sure to ask meaningful questions and thank your customers for their time with a small token of appreciation, like gift cards or discounts.
Respond to negative reviews AND rave reviews. Sites like Yelp, Google and Amazon are endless sources of honest accounts — good, mixed and bad — straight from the hands of your customers. Prove that you’re listening to their concerns (and compliments) by replying to comments regularly. It only takes a couple minutes to share your contact information and offer to resolve problems. Consider asking longtime clients to leave a positive review, and thank them with a small reward.
Use your customers’ names. A “hello” can make anyone’s day brighter, but adding a name shows your patron they’re remembered. Whether in-store, over email or on the phone, it’s a simple way to keep your customers from feeling like just another dollar or number in line. Use a name when you can — just avoid nicknames or overly familiar terms until you know the client well.
Offer a loyalty program. Besides encouraging repeat purchases and adding value to every transaction, loyalty programs are an easy way to see exactly what rewards actually motivate your buyers. What makes your customers' lives easier — a free 24-oz. shampoo or 30 percent off a haircut? Use this data to inspire future promotions and address your patrons’ pain points head on.
Meet your customers where they are. Do your patrons frequent Facebook or prefer Yelp? Do they ask questions through your website, email or prefer to call in? To get a better picture of your customer base, direct your time and attention toward the social channels they use in their day-to-day.
Another idea? Use the client management features in a POS system for real-time customer insights!
Host an event and encourage them to get to know you. Relationships are a two-way street. Make yourself available every month, whether it’s 30 minutes or two hours, and invite clients to talk with you over coffee or snacks. It can be a casual chat or a networking event. You can also visit a customer at their business, or host a small event open to the community.
Throw a Customer Appreciation event. The choices are endless — coupons, giveaways, personalized thank-you cards, social media shoutouts and loaded gift cards work well. Get your business name out there with “swag,” or business merchandise, with customizable items like totes, mugs, shirts and more.
Keep the conversation going over email. Who doesn’t love a good deal or a thank you? Send monthly emails with discounts and limited-time offers, or a friendly reminder when they’re likely to need your product or service again. Communication doesn’t only have to be sales-related — you can also simply thank customers for their most recent purchase and ask for feedback.
Offer discounts tailored to your customers. To personalize interactions even more, use common scenarios (birthdays, holidays, anniversaries or number of years as a client) to create targeted offers. You could comp a service or product for regulars and loyal spenders, or deliver special promotions based on city/state.
Build conversation into your business practices. It's no secret that most business owners and employees are pressed for time, so set yourself up for success by creating social opportunities where it fits for you. Ask your employees to tack on a “How are you?” to their greetings. Add refreshments to your waiting area and pick one customer to chat with while you grab some coffee for yourself. Include a brief, kind message with your invoices or email purchase confirmations.
It’s easier than ever to get to know what your customers are thinking, and the benefits are instant! Whatever you do, remember that a personal touch and great service keeps customers coming back longer than any expensive or time-consuming marketing campaign.
more "bang for their buck" at your small business.
At TransNational Payments, we're loyal to our customers! We offer a variety of convenient products and services like credit card processing and Full Service Payroll to give our diverse group of merchants the tools they need to grow their businesses. Switch to a more affordable payroll solution and use those savings to shower your customers with appreciation!

Family car? Check. Sport utility vehicle? Check. Drag racer? Check.
That sums up the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. After a week in this wild mashup of useful buffoonery, we came away wishing we had another one. Copious amounts of muscle in a package that cannot be poo-pooed by the more practical mindset is just genius. Therein lies the edge-of-madness thinking of Fiat-Chrysler’s SRT brand.
The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT is a perfect example of what happens when the right amount of everything is put together into a package worth selling. Its beastly 6.4-liter V8 engine and family-smart design are a great combination. When performance matters more than daily use readiness, though, the SRT engineers get more Trackhawk in their thinking.
The 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk drops the third row of seating and a few other passenger ergonomics in favor of a lot more horsepower and more performance-focused design. The GC Trackhawk is basically a Hellcat in Jeep form, and while that might seem just ludicrous, it’s actually pretty genius. In a Mad Hatter kind of way. Which happens to be how a lot of geniuses operates, it turns out.
The Hellcat’s 6.2-liter V8 with its supercharged output of 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet being channeled to the drivetrain. That drivetrain is all-wheel drive by default and those who push down the throttle and listen to the grumble of that big engine and the screeching tire results will be glad for that. The Trackhawk, with its greater weight and AWD, is far easier to control in a straight run than is the Challenger Hellcat.
This means 0-60 mph times of 3.5 seconds are possible with the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, despite its hefty 5,400 pound curb weight. Impressive! Even more impressive is the stopping distance from 60mph of just 114 feet. That comes thanks to the oversized Brembo brakes and grippy P-Zero tires mounted on the big Trackhawk.
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is tuned for track performance, as its name implies, but the bulk of the Jeep simply cannot be ignored, regardless of how much thought went into the suspension and chassis tuning of the big SUV. The Trackhawk does well in the corners, but there are limits to the single-speed transfer case used to churn the front wheels and physics involved in the big Jeep’s bulk. Even with those, however, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will corner wonderfully at speed, provided the driver is willing to let the gut tickle with an anticipated rollover and push limits. The Trackhawk is not a coupe.
What’s really great about the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, as with any Dodge-Jeep vehicle, is its everyday comfort despite its roaring musculature. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is comfortable and somewhat sedate in most daily drive situations. Provided the driver can keep a light foot and doesn’t mind the hood-shaking rumble of the big 6.2L. Outside of the small Trackhawk badge on its tailgate and the “Supercharged” signature across the lower panels, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk looks like any other Grand Cherokee on the road. More or less.
The huge wheels, fat brakes, and barely contained shakiness of its idle are giveaways too, but only to those looking for such things. It doesn’t take long for the kids to get their V8 legs and adapt to that motion at idle when getting in and out of the big Jeep.
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is $90K of crazy awesome. It makes family hauling a new-level experience. We do not, however, recommend laying stripes of rubber from the school dropoff zone or out of the library parking lot. That’s just bad form.

A YEAR ago, conservative talkmeister Rush Limbaugh was on top of the world.
His syndicated daily radio show was reaching almost 20 million listeners a week. His television talk show and newsletter were flourishing. His autobiography was selling at a record pace. And Americans across the country were gathering at ``Rush Rooms'' in restaurants to share the Limbaugh experience.
Here in Washington, the Rush Room at Blackie's House of Beef closed three months ago - ``It was getting quiet,'' says a Blackie's employee - and radio listeners have declined in some major markets. But in other ways, the Limbaugh juggernaut rolls on. His radio show is now on 659 stations, 40 more than last year, and his TV show is now on 250 stations in the United States and Canada. Nationwide listenership is at 20 million weekly, says Kit Carson, Mr. Limbaugh's chief of staff. By comparison, conservative talker Pat Buchanan reaches 428,000 people a week and has just been canceled by WRC-AM radio here in Washington, a market no political talk show wants to miss.
But for Limbaugh, life on top has brought changes: To an increasing degree, he has to be careful about the truthfulness of his statements.
Mr. Harrison says the two forces Limbaugh has to be most careful of are himself and ``the liberals who have begun to coordinate their efforts to wage a public opinion war'' against him.
Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a liberal, New York-based media watchdog organization, hit pay dirt in June when it published a report detailing alleged factual errors and contradictory statements by Limbaugh on the air. Limbaugh, for example, had claimed that students at Chelsea Clinton's school were assigned an essay called ``Why I feel guilty being white.'' Limbaugh had claimed his source was CBS News, but CBS never reported on it. FAIR's objection was that Limbaugh reported a false story and misstated his source. The New Republic magazine also has published two articles since May alleging Limbaugh inaccuracies.
The allegations have reached mainstream consciousness. The Benchmark Company, a media research firm based in Austin, Texas, recently surveyed 538 talk-radio listeners across the country and found that 78 percent of respondents were aware of the so-called ``truth detector'' controversy. But 65 percent said it had not changed their opinions. Ten percent said their opinion had changed for the worse, and 3 percent said they thought better of him.
Overall, Benchmark concluded that public opinion on Limbaugh was polarized. Sixty-five percent of respondents said he does not always tell the truth, while 28 percent said he always tells the truth.
Perhaps as a reflection of this changing view, The Washington Post published last Sunday an anti-Limbaugh article by conservative commentator Cliff Kincaid, the biggest attack on Limbaugh from the right to date.
Mr. Kincaid questioned Limbaugh's credibility as a critic of Clinton on issues such as the Vietnam draft (Limbaugh managed to avoid it) and marriage (Limbaugh's on his third). He charged Limbaugh with manipulating the so-called Christian Right, moderating his tone (no more references to ``feminazis,'' for example), and consorting with the ``Hollywood Left'' he had railed against by appearing on the sitcom ``Hearts Afire,'' which is produced by friends of the Clintons.
Kincaid seemed to have personal reasons for trashing the talk show host: Last November, Limbaugh had said unkind things about him on the air and has yet to apologize, he charges.
When asked to comment, Mr. Carson, Limbaugh's aide, said he was not familiar with the content of Kincaid's column.
William Kristol, director of a Republican policy group and former Vice President Dan Quayle's former chief of staff, says he feels Kincaid was judging Limbaugh by ``extreme standards'' and that he's not aware of any conservative unhappiness with Limbaugh. ``He's plenty conservative for me,'' says Mr. Kristol.
Kristol repeated a common conservative refrain, that Limbaugh is very useful to their movement as a purveyor of information, almost a Wall Street Journal editorial page of the airwaves.
``He's right now the leading transmitter and popularizer of conservative ideas and themes,'' says Kristol.
Vox News Has Rush Limbaugh finally gone too far?

As a kid, I really loved eating ramen… Sometimes I would even eat the noodles dry as a snack. For me, it was always beef, chicken and pork flavors, either from Maruchan or Top Ramen back then. I can remember like it was yesterday begging my parents to buy it for me, but it was always so cheap, they rarely said no.
A few decades later, my youngest son introduced me to Nongshim Shin Black Noodle Soup and Nongshim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup leaving me forever changed. They are both incredibly hearty and flavorful, with no msg or trans fats. Shin Ramyun is a South Korean brand of ramen, but it’s actually made here in the USA… Lots of spice and everything nice to say the least. The Red is a little less than half the cost of the Black so I usually get the Red, but I do like the richness of the Black just a little bit more. Although, even the Red is still quite a bit more expensive than the cheap stuff that I used to eat as a kid. In my opinion, the additional cost of Red is absolutely worth every penny.
Earlier this year, I went on a low-carb high-protein diet in an attempt to get my weight under control, but I still like to treat myself to a ramen from time to time. Especially if I’m on some kind of outdoor excursion. I simply enjoy it far too much to give it up entirely. Rather, I supercharge my ramen with protein-rich ingredients to fit in with my diet better. I would obviously choose fresh meat and veggies whenever possible, but dehydrated and freeze-dried alternatives are also available.
I am a huge fan of pork, so it is of no surprise that the my favorite way to supercharge ramen would be to add lots of pork to it. But not just any pork… It has to be bone-in chops. As part of my diet, I usually fry up at least a half-dozen chops each week in a cast iron skillet or on my discada. I fry them in butter, with a generous amount of cracked pepper, sea salt and garlic powder rubbed in. Then I add plenty of sliced serrano peppers to give it a little kick. Sometimes I add some onion powder, cayenne or chipotle pepper, and turmeric as well.
Just before the chops have cooked all the way through, I like to cut them into small 1/2″ squares, and then put them back in the skillet to finish them off. The small bits make it easy to spread over whatever it is that I happen to be eating at the time. A perfect addition to any salad, omelet and of course ramen. I also like to add some sliced carrots and chili peppers to my ramen as well. Though, most any vegetable from onions and bell peppers to cabbage and broccoli florets would also work nicely.
Whenever I’m planning a trip, I like to throw some in my dehydrator so it’ll last a week or so without any refrigeration, provided that I can keep it all completely dry. Commercially dehydrated meats and vegetables will generally last much longer than the anything that I dehydrate myself because of the preservatives. And Freeze-dried foods will often last even longer. But the homemade stuff does taste so much better as long as you eat it within a reasonable amount of time. Moisture absorbers can help, but they can only work so well if the food is not vacuum sealed.
If I happen to have any flap steak on hand, well it too is an amazingly flavorful addition to ramen… And in my omelets and on my salads just the same. For this recipe, I use a dash Lawry’s Season Salt, and plenty of garlic powder and cracked pepper. I also like to add some sliced serrano peppers whenever I have them as well.
The last method that I use to take my ramen to the next level is to add an egg or two. I find it adds a heartiness and rich flavor to the broth, much like an egg-drop soup. In fact, I make it in much the same way. Except that I don’t scramble the yolk. Once the noodles have cooked almost all the way through, I remove them from the broth. This is very important, or you’ll end up with a single blob of egg and noodle at the end. Once the noodles have been removed, I slowly drip the egg white into the broth, followed by the yolk. It must be done gently, making sure not to break it. When the egg is nearly poached, add the noodles back and let it simmer for another minute before removing the ramen from heat and serving.
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about what I do… But I’d love to hear some of your ideas. Please leave a comment below and share with us what you do to take your ramen to the next level.

Sampling and laboratory testing is the only conclusive method of identifying the presence of asbestos. The result provided by the laboratory is a record of the asbestos or non-asbestos content of the sample piece provided for analysis. Visual only asbestos assessments cannot be relied upon, regardless of how experienced the person carrying out an asbestos assessment may be, the assessment will not be credible unless sample testing for asbestos of suspect material (if any) is conducted. Remember, any building built or renovated prior to 1990 has the possibility of containing ‘suspect material’.
It is the Foundation’s firm belief, and recommendation, that anything to do with testing and/or handling potential or known asbestos containing products is best left to fully trained and licensed professionals – handling deteriorating or damaged asbestos containing material (ACM) incorrectly, may have fatal consequences many years down the track.
Note: It is illegal in the ACT to DIY asbestos sampling.
Be warned: Even after a property has been fully assessed and all suspect material tested, and any known asbestos or asbestos known materials or products have been removed by a licenced professional, all due care should still be taken as it is not always possible to find every source of asbestos! You should be particularly careful when working around current or ‘old’ wet areas where ACMs may be hidden behind false walls and ceilings; wall tiles and cladding, and under all descriptions of flooring.
The Bernie Banton Foundation is not accredited to provide advice. The following information is provided for assistance only – it should not be relied upon to fully negate the dangers, or eliminate the risks associated with the task of sampling and testing potential asbestos containing material. The information is offered in the hope it will enlighten you about the dangers, legalities, intricacies and complications involved in the task. If you feel you must do your own testing of material for asbestos, before taking any samples please read the following information carefully.
Note: Do not attempt under any circumstances to DIY testing of friable (loose fibrous or soft-bonded) material. Friable asbestos means any asbestos containing material that can be crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to powder by hand pressure – such as: loose or fibrous backing to floor coverings; insulation in ceilings; sprayed on, or spongy insulation common around pipework, boilers etc.; rope insulation material; or material that is already in a loose fibrous form. This may also include previously non-friable (hard-bonded) asbestos containing material that becomes broken or damaged by mechanical force – CAUTION – Working with friable asbestos containing material can be extremely dangerous, it is illegal for any person without an appropriate licence to handle, or work on any friable asbestos containing material.
Sampling involves collection of a sample of the suspect material that is not bigger than a ten cent piece. You should be aware, asbestos fibres are colourless and can be as small as 5 microns (invisible to the naked eye) in thickness – you must use a safe sampling process. In the sampling process the production of air borne fibres must be prevented.
Prior to taking the sample you should ensure you are clean-shaven and fit and wear an Asbestos Sampling Personal Protection Kit. This kit should consist of disposable asbestos rated: • P2 facemask; • asbestos rated full body coverall suit [If the arm and/or leg cuffs are loose fitting, wrap duct tape around them to form an airtight seal]; • goggles; • latex gloves; and • boot covers. Note: keep them fitted during the collection and bagging activity and decontamination process. You should also have; plastic drop sheets; press seal bags; long nosed pointed pliers; hammer and 1cm wide sharp chisel; duct tape; asbestos rated waste bags; PVC glue; and marker pen.
Before taking a sample, ensure the area is clear of all other people; if inside shut windows and doors, turn off fans, AC units, heaters etc., if outside only sample on a still day; place a plastic drop sheet under the area to be sampled; be sure to damp the sampling area with water, using a spray bottle.
Clean the tools to be used with wet wipes prior to and between sampling to minimise cross contamination. Use the pliers to separate the sample, if no edge is visible or accessible use the hammer and chisel to nick a small sample off. When you have collected the sample(s), double bag each individual sample in press seal bags, ensuring to label them identifying the location you took the individual sample(s) from. Any exposed edges from where you took the sample should be sealed – with PVC glue.
Note: Do not leave the room (if you are inside) or move off the plastic drop sheet. You have not finished until you have completed the decontamination cleaning of your tools and the area around and beneath where you took the sample from by cleaning with wet-wipes and safely depositing all wipes and other waste material in the asbestos waste bag(s). Once finished, carefully damp yourself and the drop sheet down with water using the plastic spray bottle, place the drop sheet in the asbestos waste bag, then remove your Asbestos Sampling Personal Protection Kit, leaving the latex gloves and then the facemask to last and place all articles in asbestos waste bag(s). Close each bag by tying off individually with duct tape, seal the lot together, clearly label as containing asbestos, and then dispose of at your nearest authorised asbestos disposal facility.
Then take the sample(s) to your nearest authorised NATA testing facility for testing.
As a general rule, if you think the material is asbestos or contains asbestos – treat it as if it is asbestos until proven one way or the other through laboratory testing.

Step five – Receive web hosting – the last step just before we input it all together Most of Large net hosting companies are now incredibly reasonably priced and hey likewise have some form of web page builder software program so if you have a tendency want either of these pick a host that gives a site constructor plan. Generally, you can opt for either Apache or ms windows hosting I would more than likely go with Cpanel hosting or any hosting which allows PHP and MySQL because of the component availability. I am talking about, if you want to incorporate more features to your website after – just like e-commerce, mailing lists etc . you can usually find those elements written in PHP a programming dialect for free.
Step 6 – Utilize the website contractor Usually the host will help you to use the website builder approach included in the hosting cost. Anyhow they’ll will give you a couple of various ways to build the web page either having a wizard or on your own, if you it all on your own it will be a bit more complicated not really too much more complicated though. The very first thing you’ll carry out is select your design it’s generally broken away per sector so just pick your company category and pick out a design you want.
A lot of people will say that employing templates is BAD and it makes you look like everyone else. Well there is several truth to this, but all of us talking creating a website with no developer and a budget. So what kind of design and style would you be able to afford and then you have to assemble it yourself, not really a huge real convenient task trust me. So keep the chin up for least you’ll have a website to start with, most get caught up in what they want it to look like rather than actually said up. So you’ll be a step ahead of everybody there.
From this level forward you’ll certainly be pasting inside your content that you just took the time to post ahead of time. Many site builders are a whole lot different from one another so I will not be going into depth about them in this posting. Maybe later if I have to….
Step 7 – Add Your articles. There are a lot of control keys and aspects of almost all the internet website constructor pages, do not get caught up in figuring them out stick to doing simply what you need to carry out. Most of these builders also have rather decent documentation too. Hence go ahead and fool around get all of your pages the method that you want all of them or as close as possible for the time being. You can ALWAYS come back and change things, together with your template, if you want. This is one of the things I enjoy about this type of site building. Also need not afraid to use the preview button it can allow you to view the site ahead of it goes live therefore you check the keeping of your webpage elements. Somewhere there will be a website button you click on a webpage and a properties tab that is where one can put in your engine optimization from Step 4. Site designer may have previously asked you this but in the event that it did not – depends upon what type of computer software, you’ll have an understanding of where to look.
In case you make a critical mistake and delete a website or mangle something too bad you can’t get it back to seeking good you may delete the whole site and commence over. That I had jots down your content and save it in a different file. If I had a bill for every period someone deleted a page they will shouldn’t experience I could perhaps retire currently.
Step eight – Release your site The final step in how to make a website is the easiest by least in theory – xbegg.cdjinlandi.com Submit it. Most sitebuilders may have a share button. When you click that it’ll ask you if you would like to put your web blog online, you say certainly and wham you’re completed. You’ve got an Internet presence. Take a few minutes to take pleasure from the moment. You’re here done! I hope this article will help you in your mission in how to make a website.

Ghirardello da Firenze (c.1320-1362) was the leading Italian composer of the middle fourteenth century, and one of the main figures who established the Florentine dominance of the Ars Nova style in Italy. Judging by the preservation of his output, he was one of the most respected composers of the middle decades of the Trecento.
Previously, Italian music was relatively uncomplicated compared to that originating from the orbit of Paris.

“The truth underlying it is that doing an injection is faster and results in higher reimbursements, compared to other ways of managing the same pain,” said Dr. James P Rathmell, chairman of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. It was Dr. Rathmell who first brought the issue to the FDA and oversaw a panel charged with recommending guidelines on safety. “The use of injections has increased dramatically, yet the prevalence of back pain has remained relatively unchanged,” Dr. Rathmell said.
As a chiropractor, chronic back pain does offer some challenges. But in the absence of permanent nerve damage, it is simply a matter of reducing inflammation, correcting injury reflexes, careful spinal manipulation and gait retraining.
These paraspinal injections only address inflammation and do so by blocking the process with steroids. While this may provide some temporary relief, without addressing the other factors, the pain will return.
Please try conservative chiropractic care with a physician that combines manipulation with nutritional support for inflammation and neurological reprograming.
Epidural steroids should be reserved as a last step prior to spinal surgery. And spinal surgery should never be performed to reduce pain but rather to restore neurological function.

Hi, we just joined a little bit ago (not a typo with the "we", its not they royal "we", we are a couple) Ashley & Mikee are our names. We are HUGE Boston Bruins fans! Also Hockey as a sport!(hands down best sport there is) Hopefully we get some hits in breaks, we know you win some you loose some tho. So far the breakers on here have been amazing, fun, and very nice... not to mention the others who we break with. The games and chances to win stuff is awesome, with great prizes. Also the FREE breaks for new auction winners, top members, and the others are amazing. Thanks to all the breakers and fellow hockey fans.
Welcome to our little world! It is a fabulous community with lots of great members and breakers, enjoy and good luck!
Welcome here Ashley and Mikee! If you have any questions at all feel free to ask.
Yet another lucky guy who has a significant other that not only tolerates his card collecting, but collects along with him!
Good to meet you guys, and it's great to hear that you enjoy the 643 Breaks and Bonus Breaks.
No problem Ashley & Mike. A bunch of us Breakers ship as many extra base cards (without going over the weight limit to the next level) as we can as an extra. For some people they like the extra base, for others the base cards simply serve as extra protection for the Hits!
Awesome! Can't wait to start getting some mail days!
I just sent out a parcel to you guys this week including the sweet Insurance Policy Card from this weekend (it was to Ashley's name/address I believe, as that's what was signed up for on the 643 Registration).

I’m so excited for this post! These are some of my favorite posts to read and I’m always looking at Pinterest posts to see how people organize and use their planners. My 2018 planner is currently out of stock, but I attached a link for reference here if you’re curious. I have used a Rifle Paper Co. planner for the past two years and I love it! I like that the inside pages are simple so I can color-coordinate my classes and use washi tape and stickers without it looking too busy. There’s a pocket in the back of the planner that I use for my stickers and flags. Most of my washi tape is either from the dollar spot in Target or Michael’s.
This is the planner that I use for all of my assignments, exams, and school related events. I have found that the most beneficial way to use my planner is to write every assignment in the monthly overview at the beginning. It takes a while to write in all the dates at the beginning of each semester, but I’ve found it to be really helpful so I never forget an assignment and I know what I’ll need to do in the weeks to come. As soon as I get my syllabuses (syllabi?) from my professors, I write down the important dates for assignments, exams, presentations, etc. I like having all of my dates in one place so I’m not referring to 7 different syllabi during a given semester. I use a little sticky flag at the beginning of the week I’m on for convenience. I have a different color for each of my classes so they’re easy to differentiate. You can find my favorite colored felt tip pens here. For everyday reminders, I tend to put a post-it note next to the day in my weekly view. Each day I look at the monthly view of my planner to see what I need to get done that day. If I have a time sensitive reminder, I use my phone because I look at it more often in a day than I look at my planner. I’ve realized that I’m ok with spending a little bit more on a planner that will hold up throughout the year because of how much I use it on a daily basis. If you’re looking to get a new planner, I’ve attached some great options below!
