Pentagon: Gadhafi forces in disarray after assault
By RICHARD LARDNER, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S.-led coalition has succeeded in scattering and isolating Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi's forces after a weekend of punishing air attacks, Pentagon officials say, and American military authorities are moving to hand control of the operation to other countries.
Gadhafi is not a target of the campaign, a senior military official said Sunday, but he could not guarantee the Libyan leader's safety.
Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon news conference there is no evidence civilians in Libya have been harmed in the air assault, code named Odyssey Dawn. Gortney also said no allied planes have been lost and all pilots have returned safely from missions that used stealth B-2 bombers, jet fighters, more than 120 Tomahawk cruise missiles and other high-tech weapons.
"We judge these strikes to have been very effective in significantly degrading the regime's air defense capability," Gortney said. "We believe his forces are under significant stress and suffering from both isolation and a good deal of confusion."
But Gortney did not rule out the possibility of further attacks aimed at preventing Gadhafi from attacking civilians in Libya and enforcing a no-fly zone.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the U.S. expects to turn control of the mission over to a coalition - probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO - "in a matter of days."
Late Sunday, however, NATO's top decision-making body failed to agree on a plan to enforce the no-fly zone over Libya, although it did approve a military plan to implement a U.N. arms embargo.
On Saturday night, three Air Force B-2s, launched from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, dropped precision munitions on an airfield near the city of Misurata, destroying hardened military aircraft shelters while avoiding commercial structures nearby. A military official said the B-2s flew 25 hours in a round trip from Whiteman and dropped 45 2,000-pound bombs.
And fifteen Air Force and Marine Corps aircraft, along with jets from France and Great Britain, hit a heavy infantry unit advancing on the rebel capital Benghazi. "To protect the Libyan people, we took them under attack," Gortney said.
Gortney said the coalition had control of the air space between Benghazi and Tripoli, Libya's capital. "The no-fly zone is effectively in place," he said. "Anything that does fly that we detect, we will engage."
Inside Gadhafi's huge Tripoli compound, an administration building was hit and badly damaged late Sunday. An Associated Press photographer at the scene said half of the round, three-story building was knocked down, smoke was rising from it, and pieces of a cruise missile were scattered around the scene.
Gadhafi and his residence are not on a list of targets to be hit by coalition aircraft, Gortney said. But Gadhafi won't be safe "if he happens to be at a place, if he is inspecting a surface-to-air missile site and we don't have any idea that he's there or not," Gortney said.
Earlier Sunday, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the goals of the operation are to protect civilians from further violence by pro-Gadhafi forces, while enabling the flow of humanitarian relief supplies. But it was unclear how long the military effort would continue or on what scale.
That uncertainty led to criticism from senior Republicans in Congress.
House Speaker John Boehner said that the Obama administration "has a responsibility to define for the American people, the Congress and our troops what the mission in Libya is" and how it will be accomplished.
Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Obama needs to tell the American public "to what extent military force will be used and for how long."
Army Gen. Carter Ham, the top officer at U.S. Africa Command, is in control of the operation. But the U.S., which is heavily engaged in Afghanistan and still has troops in Iraq, is working to transfer command to another member of the coalition. Gortney did not provide details on when that would happen or which country would take the lead.
The U.S. role would shift to mostly providing support with aerial refueling tankers and electronic warfare aircraft that can jam or monitor enemy communications - assets that other countries don't have in their inventories.
Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, told lawmakers last week that intelligence-gathering and surveillance aircraft being used in Iraq and Afghanistan may be shifted to Libya. These aircraft are limited in number, Schwartz said, and "trade-offs" may have to be made.
Schwartz said he expected the supersonic F-22 Raptor - a jet fighter yet to be used in combat - to play a prominent role in the initial attacks on Gadhafi's forces. With its stealth design, the F-22 can evade radar and has advanced engines that allow it to fly at faster-than-sound speeds without using gas-guzzling afterburners.
But Gortney would not say whether the F-22 had been or will be used. The Air Force has said only that the B-2 and F-15 and F-16 fighters participated in the operation.
As of Sunday, Gortney said members of the coalition included the U.S., Great Britain, France, Canada, Italy, Belgium and Qatar. More are expected to join, but Gortney said those countries, and not the U.S., would make that announcement.

If you are looking for a modern look mens suit, that still pays respect to the classic elegance of smart dressing, a well fitting 3-piece suit is the perfect option. Consisting of a jacket, waistcoat and trousers, the 3-piece is a great alternative for any occasions. With a slim, extra slim or skinny fit suit, your look will not only be classic, but also contemporary.
2 Items Found | Page 1 of 1
The 3-piece suit has been around for centuries, however we have seen a revival in its popularity in the last few years, and for good reason. Combining the jacket, waistcoat and trousers, the 3-piece is versatile and gives an instant style-boost, and with new fits and fabrics available it has become a staple of mens contemporary-smart wardrobes.
Most men will benefit from a slim fit vs. regular fit, because of the slimming silhouette it creates. You get a well fitting and tailored looking suit for the price of a regular one, and the added bonus of having three separates that you can mix and match — the jacket can be worn on its own as a blazer, the trousers and waistcoat paired together for a more casual look, or the trousers matched with a contrasting jacket for a smart-casual look.
If you're looking at where to buy the perfect slim fit 3-piece suit, look no further. Dobell offers some of the best brands for suits and formalwear. You can choose among different colours, from traditional navy blue to show-stopping burgundy, and fabrics, from durable performance textiles to sophisticated wool. For inspiration or tips, have a look at our customers' reviews to help you find the perfect fit and maybe even some outfit ideas.
Depending on the suit's pattern and material it can be worn throughout the year. Paired with a crisp, white shirt, tie and black, tan or brown leather derbys or brogues, maybe even a monk strap shoe, the 3-piece suit is a stylish and fitting option for everything from weddings to dinner parties or business meetings. Although, with a slim or skinny fitting suit, you'll want all the details to be correct, so make sure your waistcoat just covers the waistline of your trousers, and keep the last button of the waistcoat and the jacket, undone.
Rest assured that with an excellent fitting 3-piece suit in your wardrobe you'll look effortlessly sharp and contemporary. You'll be in the great company of street style stars and fashion icons, and since you've taken the time to find the right suit for you, you can enjoy looking appropriately suave for years to come.

Like the kit. Where can I get it?
Chris Snook of new UK outfit Madison Genesis has just been racing the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Tyler Farrar, Alejandro Valverde and Tony Martin in Challenge Mallorca, but he'll be back in the office catching up with emails on Monday morning. How does he manage to combine racing at a high level with holding down a fulltime job? We caught up with him at his team training camp on Mallorca after the race to find out.
Madison Genesis have gained a lot of publicity recently, largely for their decision to ride a steel bike. Team member Ian Bibby won first time out at the IG London Nocturne at the London Bike Show last month, and now they've been duking it out with some of the big boys in one of the big early season races. Sky, Garmin Sharp, Movistar, Lampre Merida, Euskaltel Euskadi, Orica GreenEdge, Omega Pharma Quick Step… they were all there. It has been a big step up for many of the Madison Genesis team, not least for Chris.
Chris's day job is as Press Officer for Madison, the company behind Genesis and the UK distributor of brands like Shimano, Cervélo and GoPro. He's been with Madison for the past two and a half years, so he joined long before the team was established. He's the guy that we ring up when we want to get Madison kit in for review on road.cc, and he organises getting us to Shimano new product launches, for example, so we know him pretty well.
Like the vast majority of people who race bikes, Chris has to manage his training and competition around a fulltime job. The difference from most is that he's racing at a very high level. He's the only member of Madison Genesis who is trying to combine a race career alongside another occupation, albeit one in the bike trade.
We grabbed him during the Madison Genesis camp to find out how it's going…
road.cc: So, what was it like racing some of the biggest names in cycling last week?
Chris Snook: For a long time in the lead up to the race it was exciting but also I was thinking I was going to get my head kicked in! I work fulltime and these guys get paid hundreds of thousands to ride their bikes, some of them millions, and there's me rocking up on the start line. But that changed to nerves at the start of stage one and as the race got going I realised I was alright with it.
At what stage did you begin to relax a bit and start to think you'd be okay?
After a few laps I realised that I could navigate my way up the bunch. Alex Dowsett [GB rider on Team Movistar] came up to me and had a chat. He recognized me from the nationals and last year's Shimano Dura-Ace launch, and when you get people like that talking to you in the bunch it's quite nice.
The following day I felt a lot more confident, like I was a part of it. But that stage was quite hard.
Where were you in your racing before joining the Madison Genesis team?
I'm 26 and haven't been racing that long – for four seasons. I started racing after uni and then two years ago I raced my first Premier race.
I rode a few more Premiers last year and rode the nationals as well – which I found tough because I was just back from a Shimano product launch, jet lagged, and I hadn't ridden my bike for a week.
How did you come to join the Madison Genesis team?
Madison approached me, knowing the results I had been getting. They spoke to Roger [Hammond, Team Manager, Madison Genesis] and he was keen to have me on board. It works out well for Madison to have an employee on the team.
Is it ever awkward to be both a Madison employee and on the team?
The way Roger and Madison see it is that when I'm with the team I'm not anything to do with Madison, I'm a team rider, and vice versa. It was a bit odd at team meetings to begin with but now it's quite easy to switch between them. The riders see me as a rider.
How is it to be riding at a high level while working fulltime?
It means that I have to be more disciplined with time and make more sacrifices. I might have to get up early and do a session before work, then go and do my job. Then, when I knock off work I go and do the training, get back, have dinner and go to bed – and that's it.
Then weekends it's the same sort of thing: get up early, do your training in the morning, then you have the afternoon to catch up on real life.
How much training do you manage to fit in?
It varies. If I have meetings or have to travel, I can't always do what I want to do. To an extent I just have to accept it.
We have a form coach, Stephen Gallagher, who is helping me fit my training around work. I get my training through every day on my phone – we do it through Training Peaks. If I'm caught out of the office or something changes, I phone Steve and say, "Look, I'm stuck," and he might say to get on the rollers if possible, and then he'll juggle the rest of the week around. He's being quite flexible because I have to be.
Training seems to work out at around 15 hours a week. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a bit more when we get longer evenings. I've been able to get a few longer 17.5 hour weeks, juggling time around. Over Christmas I was able to get a bit more in when I wasn't working.
How do you think all of the training and racing will impact on your work?
So far Madison have been really flexible. If I need to split my time between training and working then they have given me the flexibility so I can start the day earlier and finish an hour earlier and get a longer ride in the evening.
With racing they are going to give me the time off and put structures in place so that when I am out of the office there are people who can cover what I would be doing. I have to reply to emails in the evenings and kind of delegate from out here.
It sounds pretty full on…
It is. Last week I had to finish racing Challenge Mallorca, fly home that evening for the Shimano new product presentation [to UK dealers and the media], then come straight back here for the training camp.
But I'm motivated and it's paying off. I'm seeing improvement quite rapidly. This Challenge Mallorca race was evidence of that, being able to keep up with those guys and on stage one feel like I wanted to challenge for the sprint on the line, but I got caught behind the wrong crash.
Was there anything that surprised you when you raced last week?
I noticed the difference in the style of racing. In the UK it goes hard from the start and then slows and there's a bit of attrition.
Here it might go from the gun and then it'll back off again because you have these strong teams who can control it. People will be looking for an early break so it'll be quick, and then a big team might be satisfied with a break that's gone up the road so they'll want to shut it down. They'll move to the front, unclip the pedals and call a pee stop, so the bunch slows and the break has gone then.
Then you spend a lot of the ride at tempo until it's time to chase and it gets more strung out. You're chasing and you get teams moving to the front trying to split it in crosswinds…
When you're a part of the peloton, is what's going on as clear as when you're sat at home watching events on television?
Yeah, it is. You'll be looking to your left and you'll see a couple of Garmin riders move up and then another five come past so you think that something is about to go down. You think you'd better get on them and follow them to the front.
How would you say the race went overall for you?
It went well. I did as well as I expected – better, even. I was never going to be up there on the mountain stages, especially not having ridden the mountains in a training camp beforehand, so those two stages were hard for me. But for the team it was brilliant. Stage three was a highlight with Brennan Townshend in the break for 105km from 8km out, and then Ian Bibby getting 10th overall on the stage.
What's it like having very experienced people like Roger Hammond around?
Roger has been really good. His experience comes across every time you speak to him. His Classics experience was obvious in the race, talking about the wind direction and what teams would be doing on certain sections of the course, what to watch out for in terms of their formation and what they do. He was able to tell us where we needed to be in certain situations so as not to be out the back.
Everything that he said seemed to happen and he's really supportive having been through the lows and the highs.
What are you hoping to achieve this year?
As a team, we want to establish ourselves as top team, really. Whether we'll do that in year one, I don't know.
We want to get a ride in the Tour of Britain. Our performance here has helped us stake a claim to that. And then the team's ethos is to develop riders – to get riders onto Pro Continental contracts or, with Ian Bibby, on to Pro Tour teams. It would be a shame to lose him but that would be job done.
How is the season mapped out for you?
We're still working on that. The next big race for the team is the Tour of Taiwan in March, and we're looking towards the Premier Calendar domestically, and the Tour Series, National Champs, and hopefully the Tour of Britain.
Roger has plans for foreign races as well. Some of the invites and acceptances have depended on how we performed out here and how we perform out in Taiwan as well.
How would you like to see your racing career develop?
It's hard to say. We'll have to see how it goes. There are two things with me: my job and my riding. So, I'll see how the riding goes and then see what happens from there with the balance.
How has the training camp been and how has it differed from what you could do at home, fitting in your training around work?
For the most part, when you're at home you can do very specific sessions in your zones. It's not so easy to do that on a camp with other riders, but what you can do is get five hours of riding in, and it's a welcome change of scene, especially when you know it's snowing at home.
It's like a mental reset to keep you motivated, and you get that horrible block of February out of the way. Plus, you're able to get your efforts and intervals in on the mountains here.
Is the training very different from what you've done before?
Yeah. Previously where I've been doing long base, zone two miles, and doing some hard reps on climbs, this is more like an hour's warm up, 20 minutes in sweet spot, 10 minutes off, then into another interval… so it's very structured.
You get a bit of high-end in there but overall it averages out at about a zone 2 ride.
Is the Genesis Volare bike still undergoing development?
We have a second generation coming soon. The bike we are on is fairly close to what will be the final version, but there will be a few tweaks.
We're going to bring the top tube down so it'll be a compact frame as opposed to traditional and that should lop a bit of weight off – we're thinking about 200g. That's partly down to rider feedback. Compact is what a lot of people are used to now. A few riders have said that it rides a bit harsh at the minute, so we're looking to build a bit more compliance in.
When do you think the bike will be completely finished?
From speaking to Dom Thomas [Genesis designer], we want the bike to be in the 2014 Genesis range. As far as I understand, there will be a 953 version, the same as the team rides, available as a frame and fork or as an exact team replica with Dura-Ace. There will also be a 931 version and an 853 cheaper one in replica colours.
How have the other racers reacted to having steel bikes in the peloton?
At the start of the race it got a lot of interest. Lined up at the start of the first stage, Orica GreenEdge were asking what the bikes were made of and saying that they look good. That was the feedback. And Tyler Farrar (Team Garmin Sharp) said they looked good too. They got a bit of interest.
Everyone is talking on about the kit too. It's Madison clothing so that's another development. We're going to do a whole new range of jerseys, capes and shorts. We're going to get first prototypes of aero jerseys and things through in the next month or two, so I guess it'll be a spring 2014 range, although jerseys will probably be sooner.
What's next for you?
We're going back home at the end of the week. I'll take it easy for a few days and catch up with work again before getting back into training.
From what Roger and everyone else is saying, we'll see the form coming as a result of this training camp in about two weeks. A few of us will be doing the Severn Bridge Road Race at the beginning of March which is pretty much bang on two weeks after this training camp, so hopefully we should be going well.
Are you enjoying it?
Yes. There's no point doing it otherwise. It's not easy, but you can't expect it to be. If you want it, you'll make allowances.

For those who obsess about steering feel and how it affects the ride experience, there is Angleset. Cane Creek created it so that you could change your effective head tube angle in order to get exactly what you want in terms of how your bike feels and performs under certain trail conditions. This AngleSet 1.5" Tapered Headset Kit - ZS49/EC49 is designed to fit bike frames with a straight 1.5" headtube -- 49mm ID on top and bottom. The external lower cup offers room for the oversize crown race of a 1.5" tapered fork as well.
How does it work? It's simple really. The upper cup on Cane Creek's ZS49/EC49 Angleset Headset is available in three versions (included) -- .5°, 1.0°, and 1.5°. They have offset bearing bores (relative to the press-fit skirt) and can be installed forwards or backwards, yielding a total available angle range of 3° based from the centerline of the headtube. This means that if you're bike has a head tube angle of 68° this headset will allow you to make angular changes down to 66.5° or up to 69.5° or between those marks, depending on which of the three cups you install. Both upper and lower bearings are housed in gimbals that self-adjust for the angular correction so that your headset gets a perfect, clunk-free fit when you set it up.
The benefit of the Angleset is that you can customize the steering feel of your bike exactly to your liking. Like their top-of-the-line 110 series headsets, the Angleset cups and gimbal parts are machine from 7075-T6 aluminum. They use Cane Creek's black oxide bearings. The races and balls start out as 52100 steel and are then given an acid bath to make them more corrosion resistant, while still being porous enough to retain grease. They are angular contact bearings (ACB), which resist both axial and radial loads equally well. The cartridges are sealed with what Cane Creek likes to call a Split Lip Seal, which has two contact seals per side to better keep out contaminants and hold in grease.
The Cane Creek AngleSet 1.5" Tapered Headset Kit - ZS49/EC49 is anodized Black and has laser etched graphics and dimensional specs on each cup. This is a headset that mates a fork with a 1-1/8" to 1.5" tapered steerer to a 1.5" headtube with 49mm ID top and bottom. It's also possible to use a straight 1-1/8" fork with a conversion crown race (sold separately).

The clash between homes and drill rigs — already being fought in the courts and the legislature — is dominating meetings of county commissions and city councils across the Front Range.
Pressed between the concerns of residents about their safety and property values and the limits on local control imposed by the state, elected officials are struggling to cope with the prospects of drilling.
"As public officials, we have the power to keep all industrial activities away from residential areas — except for drilling," said Fort Collins City Councilman Gerry Horak. "It's frustrating."
In response, local governments are employing a variety of stratagems.
Arapahoe County is using negotiated agreements with operators to add controls and safeguards.
In Elbert and Boulder counties, draft regulations — focused on land-use controls — are up for review this month.
Meanwhile, the cities of Boulder and Fort Collins have adopted drilling moratoriums.
"There's been a public groundswell on the issue," said Suzanne Jones, a Boulder council member. "People are concerned about what is happening in their backyards."
April Beach, a founder of the anti-drilling group Erie Rising, can give an exact measure to the problem from the back window of her Erie home.
"I have a BTEX burner, two condensate tanks, two separator tanks, a produced-water tank and five wells 234 feet from my home," the 37-year-old mother of three said.
"It just shouldn't be there," Beach said. "I am not an expert, but I've become an expert on living next to a well."
Oil and gas drilling, however, isn't like other industrial activities, say state officials and industry representatives.
Split estates
Operators drill where there are deposits of oil and gas and where they have bought the mineral rights, which may have been severed from the surface ownership years ago, creating a split estate.
"There are property rights on both sides," said Douglas Flanders, policy director for the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, a trade group.
And decisions on where and how wells are drilled can be made, state officials insist, only by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
"We believe that uniform regulations are important for the state, and we have the expertise to set those regulations," said Matt Lepore, director of the oil and gas commission.
When the city of Longmont adopted rules that included several operating restrictions, including a ban on drilling in residential areas, the state last July sued the city.
And when Longmont voters passed a ballot initiative in November banning a key oil and gas production technique called hydrofracturing, or fracking, the oil and gas association sued the city, as well.
The suits, which are pending in Boulder District Court, have had a marked impact on the approach of other local governments.
During the past session, legislators, mainly from Front Range communities, filed 10 bills seeking among other things to bolster oil-field inspections, fines and disclosures.
Only one passed — a spill-reporting bill — as they encountered opposition from the industry, Republican legislators and, in some cases, Gov. John Hickenlooper's administration, which said proposals were unworkable.
That leaves cities and counties to their own devices.
"Our goal is to use the county's land-use authority, to adopt the most protective rules recognizing the role of the state … to push the line but not go over," said Kim Sanchez, Boulder County planning manager.
Elbert County commissioners are set to vote June 24 on oil and gas rules that provide some oversight and performance standards.
"It took two years to develop, and I think we've balanced both sides," said Kurt Schlegel, a county commissioner. "But exceeding the state regulations is a nonstarter."
An "understanding"
The use of negotiated agreements — "memorandums of understanding" — between local governments and drillers has also become widespread.
Pioneered by Longmont and the town of Erie, they have become part of local drilling regulations from Fort Collins to Elbert County.
Arapahoe County decided not to adopt regulations and focus on the memorandums, or MOUs, negotiating directly with the six companies looking to operate in the county.
"We were able to negotiate for extra conditions and stricter requirements than the state's for things such as pits," said Diane Kocis, the county's oil and gas director.
In exchange, companies go through a quicker, less expensive permit process.
"We feel satisfied with the agreement," said Jim Lowry, a spokesman for ConocoPhillips, the largest operator in Arapahoe County.
"It expedites permits, and people know ConocoPhillips will be held to the highest standard," Lowry said.
Fort Collins, which has a drilling moratorium in place while it upgrades its regulations, opted for a memorandum when the sole driller operating in the city, Black Diamond LLC, threatened to sue.
"We were able include tougher emission controls than the state regs," said Fort Collins' Horak.
The agreement also bans the use of pits, requiring instead a closed-loop system to control fluids.
Critics hold fast
Those steps haven't been enough for critics.
"Basically, there is no moratorium," said Gary Wockner, state program director for the environmental group Clean Water Action. "The city showed that if you threaten to sue, they'll fold."
A new group, Citizens for a Healthy Fort Collins, is trying to get a ballot initiative for a five-year moratorium on fracking in the city. Another group, Our Broomfield, wants the same for the northern suburb.
On June 4, the Boulder City Council approved a one-year fracking moratorium before an overflow meeting, filled with drilling opponents.
"The whole fracking thing really freaks me out," Boulder resident Gabriel Perry told the council. "I wish you guys would just ban it."
The city ban was prompted by the Boulder County Commission's decision to replace its moratorium with a set of comprehensive regulations that would try to phase in drilling.
Also using an MOU process, it would seek to impose tighter air-quality standards, set back wells 1,000 feet from homes — double the state standard — and levy a $37,900 "impact fee" on each well.
The proposal met with massive criticism at a packed hearing June 5, where almost every speaker called for the extension of the moratorium.
The plan was "a betrayal of the citizens," Longmont resident Mike Taylor said.
"If you've been threatened, we can threaten back," Taylor told Commissioners Elise Jones and Cindy Domenico. "We've got your back."
The commissioners decided to postpone a decision until June 18, when Commissioner Deb Gardner will return from Nepal.
"It is a very fluid situation — that's why there is such a robust debate," said Elise Jones, whose sister sits on the Boulder City Council.
"We are tying to balance public health, legal rights, energy and environmental impacts — and frankly trying to do it without complete information," Jones said.
The one certainty that just about all sides agree on is that the battle will go on.
"As oil and gas moves closer to homes and new housing developments move closer to oil and gas, it is creating a conflict," the oil and gas association's Flanders said.

text: Pressalit joins forces with UNICEF Pressalit joins forces with UNICEF to create awareness of the consequences of poor sanitary conditions around the world. Read more about Pressalit Corporate Social ResponsibilityRead more about UNICEF WASH Today 2.3 billion people do not have access to sanitation, where faeces and human contact are separated and 892 million people are forced to relieve themselves in the open. Consequently, diseases related to poor sanitation and poor water conditions are today between the most frequent reasons behind death among children under the age of five. Based on this knowledge, Pressalit has joined forces with UNICEF, which is an international relief agency. "The overall purpose of this collaboration is to create awareness about the numerous problems that poor sanitation causes", says Mette Dyhl Prola, Senior HR & Marketing Director at Pressalit. One of the reasons why Pressalit has chosen to cooperate with UNICEF is that Pressalit since 2002 has adopted the principles in United Nation's 'Global Compact'. After the launch of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, Pressalit has worked dedicatedly with three goals that are particularly relevant for Pressalit's values and core business; SDG #4: quality education, #6 clean water and sanitation and #12 responsible consumption and production. Overall, UNICEF works on improving the living conditions for children all over the world with a particular focus on the initiative 'WASH' (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene). This goes well in hand with Pressalit's focus on SDG #6 about promoting clean water and sanitation. "The reason why we cooperate with UNICEF is that responsibility is so deeply founded in our culture at Pressalit. We want to continue demonstrating social responsibility, both locally, nationally and internationally. We profoundly believe that we can all contribute to a better world", says Mette Dyhl Prola. Taking social responsibility is a natural part of Pressalit's CSR efforts, which is centered around three keywords: employees, environment and joint responsibility and especially joint responsibility is what Pressalit aims to take in cooperation with UNICEF. During this autumn, the cooperation between Pressalit and UNICEF will concentrate on the issues that poor sanitary conditions can cause. This will be done by means of videos, lectures and events. The cooperation culminates with a fund-raising for UNICEF in December, where the donations will be spent on improving sanitary conditions all over the world.

Christianity invented secularism
There is a growing delusion among, rather desperate, Christian apologists. As the delusion that America is a Christian nation slowly loses ground and America is really a secular nation, Christians are quick to argue that Christianity invented secularism. However, as we shall explain, this delusion is just as utterly false as the claim Christianity invented science.
Christian apologists argue that "separation of church and state" does not appear in the Constitution, and Jefferson proposed it to keep government out of the church (not the church out of government). Thus, apologists may argue that the vision of secularism is propaganda.
Apologists may argue the term secularism was an idea of the Bible, when coined by a Christian St. Augustine of Hippo, and the separation of church and state also has biblical origins when God would not allow kings to become priests to corrupt the people through the church (although the priests could influence the king). Therefore, secularism was an idea born of the Bible not the Enlightenment.
Some apologists go as far as believing that present day secularism between church and state has become a form of totalitarianism, which may will lead to eugenics. This leads apologists to argue that the only way to save secularism is the Church, since they are the ones who came up with it, because once we lose the Christian values and traditions will lead to a world far worse than anything Hitler could have ever conjured.
While it is true that the Constitution does not specifically say "separation of church and state" nor does it say any of the following: God, Jesus, Christ, Bible, Christianity, Trinity, Paul, disciples, etc. Apologists may point to that the Constitution was dated with the words "in the year of our Lord" but the tables can easily be turned by pointing out that the Constitution says Thursday, which is the date of worship for Thor, the god of thunder.
Apologists who make this argument are very unlikely, and perhaps unwilling, to look at history beyond their holy book. This is because they base history and their view of the world through the Bible as an accurate calender and historical text. Ignoring that the Bible was wrong about many historical events (such as Jericho, the consensus, Nazareth, etc) looking further back we can see that secularism did not start with the Bible. Tasmanians, Aetas and Negritos of the Philippines, Yaghans of Tierra del Fuego, the Veddahs of Ceylon, and African Bushmen all lived in secular societies before religion was introduced.
Many eastern societies lived under secular philosophies for centuries before Jesus (if he existed) was born.

COLOGNE, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--COLOGNE, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The king of city-builders is making its triumphant return to the Mac! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced that SimCityTM will be coming to Mac as a digital download via Origin™ in February 2013. With development being led by the creative team at Maxis, the Mac version of SimCity will feature the same deep, rich gameplay that will define the PC experience as players on both platforms compete or collaborate to create a new world, together.
"Whether you owned a Macintosh or a DOS PC, we all have memories of laying down zones and reticulating splines from our youth," said Lucy Bradshaw, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA's Maxis Label. "To the millions of SimCity fans out there, we've been listening and can proudly say that your calls have been answered. SimCity has a long legacy on the Mac and the team at Maxis is ensuring that it will be the deepest, richest and most accessible SimCity game yet."
Attendees of gamescom 2012, taking place at Cologne Messe from August 15 – 19, can be among the first in the world to go hands-on with SimCity for PC. Future mayors will be able to experience the next generation of city-builders through a guided hands-on demo where they will also catch their first look at the SimCity World. This new feature set is the connective tissue that allows players to boast about their progress through CityLog, compete in Global Challenges, compare their accolades in Leaderboards and affect the global economy in the Global Market.
Eager mayors who are interested in getting an early start at changing the world of tomorrow can head over to www.SimCity.com/beta to sign-up for the SimCity beta. Participants will have the chance to play SimCity on PC before it ships in February. Those that are chosen will be asked to provide their views and feedback on their experience playing to help improve the development of the game.
For more than two decades, the king of city-building simulators has sworn in millions of virtual mayors from around the world. With its return in February 2013, SimCity will engage an entirely new generation of PC and Mac gamers as they take charge of their own customized cities and build a world that co-exists alongside friends. For the first time in SimCity franchise history, players' decisions will have long-lasting repercussions that will extend beyond their city limits. Together, players will address real global challenges such as climate change, the search for renewable resources and natural disasters. It's up to the players to decide whether to compete or collaborate to shape the world – for better or for worse.

Helen Thomas is at it again.
"I can call a president of the United States anything in the book," she said at an anti-Arab-bias workshop in Detroit, "but I can't touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank. No American would tolerate that — white-only roads."
She's right that no American would tolerate white-only roads. Israelis, likewise, would never tolerate roads for Jews only. That's why such roads don't exist.
The roads she's referring to in the West Bank are Israeli, and they're not just for Jews. Israeli Arabs can drive on them, and so can non-Jewish foreigners, including Arab and Muslim foreigners. Palestinians were once able to drive on them but have not been allowed to do so since the second intifada, when suicide bombers used them to penetrate Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in order to massacre people.
There are also, by the way, Palestinian roads in the West Bank that Israelis can't use.
I don't know if Helen Thomas knows this and is lying or if she's just an ignoramus. What I'll bet she doesn't know is that Arab residents of Jerusalem can use both the Israeli roads and the Palestinian roads. They're the only people who live in the area who can do this. (Foreigners also are allowed to use both.)
This doesn't remotely line up with her narrative of perfidious Zion. But it's true.

This is a photo that I came across last week and just thought it would be good for Wordless Wednesday! It is a bit faded but was taken circa 1960 and is of my maternal grandmother Lucy Sinclair (nee Dartnell), myself and my brother John at Whitstable, Kent where our grandmother always took us for a holiday. My brother Alan took the picture.
We always enjoyed our holidays in Whitstable and I have some very happy memories from those times.

Wwaldren necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 381 diseños de 68 diseñadores freelance.
I have conceptualized, financed, designed and operated several bars, cafe's, and coffeehouses since I was 24yrs old. I am 100% committed to opening the coolest workplace for all of the mobile workers who currently call Starbucks, Panera, the library, or your cluttered bedroom "The Office".
I feel that creating a comfortable workplace that nurtures the ability for complete strangers to connect.... be it as friends, leads, vendors, or mentors....is my mission for at least the next 10-15 years.
Our target audience is Mobile workers with a creative mindset. People who do not have a traditional permanent office.
The early adopters will be creative and freelance types and will be our core users. A secondary market are people who what to be surrounded by the creative "rockstar" mindset. They may be an accountant however, they would love to drive a vintage BMW motorcycle and only have hip/cool clients. That said, any of the below will be our customers as long as they are looking for an alternative place to work:
o Graphic designers
o Web programmers
o Bloggers
o Real estate agents
o Accountants
o Writers
o Corporate "break-out teams"
o Lawyers
o Consultants
o Community groups
o Virtual assistants
o Entrepreneurs
o Video producers
o Medical transcribers
o Pharmaceutical reps
o Financial advisors
o PR managers
o Event planners
o Day traders
o Lecture series groups
o Mompreneurs
o Small business owners
o Tutors
o Interior designers
o Production teams
o Appraisers
o IT consultants
o Marketing researchers
o Traveling seminar teams
o Recruiters
We will have 75% of our space committed to a full service open concept workspace with 12-18 private offices and 2 conference rooms. We will have nightly "Sessions" that may be a book signing or a cool lecture on trends in digital media. 25% of our space will be a Coffee bar that serves beer and wine (perhaps cocktails). You have to be a member to use the office resources however anyone can enjoy the Coffee bar area. Check out our old website: http://www.unionworkplace.com
We may or may not use the tagline "workplace" in the logo.
I need a logo that captures our start-up bohemian vibe yet will be accessible to the mainstream market. I love logos that have multiple layers that different target markets will recognize.
Hudson is meant to reflect a nostalgic 1940's notion of a Madison avenue advertising agency, without the "literal" 1940's reference. This needs to be modern and forward thinking with a nod to the past.
It is key that people feel a familiarity with the logo and that it does not seem over produced as creative will revolt against this. However a logo mark that could be used separately is open territory. We need either the full logo or the logomark to work as an avatar in all social media forums: Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook..etc.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Mike D'Antoni once scoffed at the skepticism surrounding Steve Nash's health as he proved he could run his Phoenix Suns offense well enough through chronic back issues to win two NBA MVP awards.
But as Nash remains indefinitely sidelined for with persisting nerve root irritation in his back and hamstrings, D'Antoni conceded skepticism on whether he'd actually play before the season ends in six weeks.
"I doubt it. I don't think so. What's the end game?" D"Antoni said Monday.

text: Chickens are slaughtered at different ages to be processed for different purposes and classified according to their use such as broilers, fryers, roasters, and stewers. Broilers and fryers are chickens that weigh 3 to 4 pounds, are 7 to 12 weeks old, and as the name indicates, are best used for broiling and frying. As the chicken becomes 10 to 12 weeks old, gains more fat, and weighs 2 to 6 or 7 pounds, they are referred to as roasters since they are most suitable for roasting or cooking on rotisserie grills. The flesh of stewing chickens, which weigh up to 7 or 8 pounds and are over 10 months old, is not as tender as the meat of younger birds, so they are typically used for stewing or for commercial processing of canned chicken products.

Is there any risk in allowing your team of developers to install whatever Visual Studio Add-ons they want? Is it a good idea to allow them this freedom?
Is there any reason not to let your group of developers install third party Visual Studio add-ons? [closed]

Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. Avoid asking multiple distinct questions at once. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I am a developer and I strongly agree with Jim.
The plug-ins I use in Visual Studio make me more productive and make development smoother.
The moment I get told what makes me more or less productive and how I am allowed to setup my IDE, is the time to move to a less far sighted firm.
The plugins are created for a reason, use them and make life faster and easier for your devs.
Our managers have a much better things to do than micro managing the IDEs of the developers.
As long as a dev's individual tools don't break the builds on our central build server nobody cares.
If I worked in a place where management worried about this kind of thing, I'd be looking for a new gig.
The important bit here is releases are made from a central build server (I use a VM with just Visual Studio and libraries and tools required for the build installed) – user151019 Aug 1 '11 at 18:31
In your scenario, if the developer screws something up then it's his job to fix it? Not judging just trying to see how other groups work. Obviously if there is a pattern of mistakes that would have to be dealt with at the individual level. – djnotepad Aug 1 '11 at 20:53
We let them run any non-invasive add-on.
But, when the add-on require to store some metadata within the solution file then it must be first approved.
Like @Randolf, I would broadly agree - anything non-invasive should be allowed to be installed freely.
However I would define invasive fairly broadly - including source-control plugins. Had an issue with an early version of a subversion plugin once, caused some issues.
Performance. Some of these addons seriously impact the speed of Visual Studio. Whenever someone complains about their Visual Studio being slow my manager first asks them to disable all addons and see if it's any faster. Often it helps.
But we're pretty free to use what we want. And I can't imagine having to work without Resharper. Even though it somewhat slows Visual Studio I'd be annoyed all day having to work without it.

Not even in 2005. Hass has been good. Hass has even been really good. But he's never been an elite guy, or shown the durability of Favre and Warner.

I have questions regarding the recommendation to slowly transition to a new diet. Is it OK to transition more quickly if the food is similar? Is it OK to feed a variety of different meats and vegetables or is it recommended to feed the same recipe every day? Does a fresh diet make a difference in how much variety you can offer? Thank you!

I sent him off to camp for 4 days with his big sister and a bunch of friends from church. He packed his own duffle bag and I double checked it, adding socks and a toothbrush, not necessities to an 11 year old boy. When I arrived at the camp to get my kids, I spotted him in a group of boys who needed to brush down cowlicks and change shirts. He smiled when he saw me and hugged me–with his eyes. We both know our limitations in front of his peers.
Once we were home, stories and adventures spilled out from my weary kids coming down from a camp high. For the rest of the day, everywhere I turned, my son was my shadow. He sat next to me while I paid bills. He followed me into the kitchen and asked me where I was going every time I stood up. I gave him a questioning look (after I answered the bathroom at one point). "Mom, I just want to be with you."
When nurses handed me that blue bundle of baby boy, I fell in love with his dark eyes and curly black locks. It didn't take me long to understood the other moms who said, "Oh, a boy? There's nothing like the mother-son relationship." As he grew into a toddler, he bedazzled the world with his friendly waves and honest (often embarrassing) questions and comments. He tried to take everything apart with a hammer and put it back together with a screwdriver. He let his sister dress him like a princess and his dad dress him like a future athlete. I birthed the most easy-going, kind son a mother has ever known.
We sat next to each other in church the other day. He stands shoulder to shoulder to me now, knee to knee, constantly measuring to see if he's taller (any day now). As he sang, I watched his adam's apple bob, his handsome profile looking more tween than boy. I thought of his constant, sometimes annoying, noises and sounds, the way he still is the first to ask me how my day was and how he notices every time I wear something new. I thought about how he tenderly held babies in Kenya, how he can't walk by the piano in the living room without playing the Star Wars theme song and how much I loved watching him fall in love with archery this year.
I felt the bubble of emotion well up, sitting there, taking in my son and I felt sad that more than half his time at home is over. I leaned over and whispered in his Daddy's ear, "I wish we had more sons" and the words caught and I had to blink away tears.
My son looked at me then, not hearing what I'd said or seeing how my heart was swelling with love. I patted his hand. He didn't look around to see who might see. He didn't push my hand away. He held on. We sat the rest of the service hand-in-hand.
In those moments, without words, this is what I said to my only son:
I am the first girl you hugged.
I am the first girl you kissed.
I am the first girl you made laugh.
I am the first girl you made cry.
I am the first girl you hurt.
I am the first girl you held.
I am the first girl you tried to impress.
I am the first girl you flirted with.
I am the first girl you called pretty.
I am your mother.
No matter where you go in this life–how far you fly away from me–nothing will change that I was your first love.

LEAP Consult
I am a 43 years top executive in a US mtinational company. I have just decided to leave the corporate life and start my own business in my home country Morocco in the field of strategy and Organization development consulting. I will be providing support to business customers in the areas of corporate strategy, human capital development, strategy execution and marketing.
The consulting business iin Morocco s dominated by the big global consulting firms working with the big local groups and with the local subsidaries of the multinationals. The vast majority of companies are middle/small size and don't invest yet in external consultants. This is the segment I want to target and develop. Most of these companies are family businesses but growing fast and doomed to break away from the one man show management model
The company bradname was inspired by the idea tthat we will support our target customers make the leap from the small size/family owned business to the bigger/more modern/more successful business.
The logo has therefore to:
1. Reflect the conceptual idea of helping companies to make the leap.
2. But stay simple, and professional given the nature of the consulting business
3. Project the image of a professional first class consulting company
3. Leap should be the main element of the brandname. Consult is a smaller addition.
4. Logo should stand out
5. A good consideration should be given to the color code too. Colors in the logo will be used as part of the company visual identity.

A Michigan teen is in a ton of trouble after she got in the driver's seat of her grandmother's car and went for a little joyride in a Bed, Bath, & Beyond parking lot.
The 13-year old was in the car while her grandmother was shopping, just listening to the radio. At some point, she decided it would be a good idea to move over to the driver's seat. Perhaps she'd nudged the radio over to some college radio station and was moved by the Dead Kennedys to a bit of destruction.
Empowered by angst or boredom, the girl drove the gold Mercury into a tree, and then a utility pole, and then into two other cars. As if that weren't enough, she then found a way to launch the Mercury onto a poor nearby Buick.
Police said charges "are forthcoming" against the girl and her grandmother, since she left the keys in the car.

Band On The Run
The longest song on Wings' 1973 album Band On The Run, Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) was written during a dinner party Paul and Linda McCartney had in Montego Bay, Jamaica with the actor Dustin Hoffman.
On one of our Jamaican holidays we had heard that Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen were around, shooting the film Papillon. We were invited to visit the set and Dustin asked us back to his house for dinner. He was asking me how I write songs; I explained that I just make them up. He said, Can you make up a song about anything?' I wasn't sure, but he pulled out a copy of Time, pointed to an article and said, 'Could you write a song about this? It was a quote from Picasso, from the last night of his life. Apparently, he had said to his friends, 'Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore,' and then gone to bed and died in his sleep. So I picked up a guitar, started to strum and sing 'Drink to me, drink to my health...', and Dustin was shouting to his wife, 'He's doing it! He's doing it! Come and listen!' It's something that comes naturally to me but he was blown away by it. And that song became Picasso's Last Words.
The issue of Time magazine was dated 23 April 1973, and the article in question was titled 'Pablo Picasso's Last Days and Final Journey'. Hoffman later described watching McCartney compose the song as "right under childbirth in terms of great events of my life".
The song was the only one to be recorded at Ginger Baker's studio in the Ikeja region of Lagos, Nigeria. Baker had hoped to entice Wings to record more songs at his ARC Studios, but only one session took place.
Then we went to Nigeria and we were working in Ginger's studio, Ginger Baker/ARC Studio in Lagos, nice studio down there. We thought we'd do this Picasso number, and we started off doing it straight. Then we thought, Picasso was kind of far out in his pictures, he'd done all these different kinds of things, fragmented, cubism, and the whole bit. I thought it would be nice to get a track a bit like that, put it through different moods, cut it up, edit it, mess around with it – like he used to do with his pictures. You see the old films of him painting, he paints it once and if he doesn't like it he paints it again, right on top of it, and by about twenty-five times he's got this picture. So we tried to use this kind of idea, I don't know much about it, to tell you the truth, but what we did know we tried to get in the song, sort of a Cubist thing.
So Ginger, he helped on a few little things of it. At the end, where we go 'Ho, hey ho.' We did the cutting up there. Then we got Ginger and a couple of people from around the studio and we got little tin cans and filled them with gravel from outside the studio, and used them as shakers, so at the end you hear this [makes shaking gravel noise], and that's Ginger and a big mob of us going [gravel noise again]. So we just made it all up and then edited the tape. There were about four or five big edits in it, really.
Paul McCartney In His Own Words, Paul Gambaccini
The song contains elements of the Band On The Run songs Jet and Mrs Vandebilt.
Just the idea of his different periods, this comes back in, it's all a big muddle. We were just making it up as we went along. We didn't have any big concept of it in mind at all. I just thought, we'll mess it up, keep messing it up until it sounds good, like Picasso did, with the instinctive knowledge you've got. So that's how that one came about.
Paul McCartney In His Own Words, Paul Gambaccini
The brief orchestral arrangement was by Tony Visconti, and was recorded at George Martin's AIR Studios in London. The recording also contained French-language speech, which roughly translates as:
I hope that, thanks to this campaign, many French people will rediscover the charms. So, let me remind you that our tourist help service is there for you.

PDP Sells "Privacy Cover" For Kinect
Concerns regarding Xbox One's always-on Kinect 2 camera and microphone have been rekindled by recent reports about NSA collaboration with large companies to spy on their users.
Of course Microsoft is assuring it customers that Xbox One features "robust" privacy features; and of course a lot of users believe that those promises aren't worth the ink they're printed with. And that's where Gaming accessory maker PDP steps in.
The primary function of PDP's $19.99 Xbox One Kinect 2 TV mount accessory is to mount Kinect on top of flat screen TVs instead of laying it down on a nearby table. However, the accessory double-functions as a privacy protector as it comes with a free "privacy cover" that blocks Kinect's REGB and Infra-Red cameras.
In the meanwhile, Microsoft stands its ground that such a privacy cover isn't needed as
"You are in control of what Kinect can see and hear. By design, you will determine how responsive and personalized your Xbox One is to you and your family during setup. The system will navigate you through key privacy options, like automatic or manual sign in, privacy settings, and clear notifications about how data is used. When Xbox One is on and you're simply having a conversation in your living room, your conversation is not being recorded or uploaded."
The Kinect 2 TV mount accessory and its privacy cover will be ship on December 4th, nearly two weeks after Xbox One's launch on November 22nd, 2013.

Looking across the boat yard at WakeSide Marine on the north side of Elkhart, Ind., owner Jeff Haradine saw blue skies and sunshine both in the view outside the window and on his balance sheet.
The pontoon and sports boat dealership on S.R. 19, near Simonton Lake, has compiled a healthy increase in sales over the past year. Banks are lending to consumers who are comfortable with their finances and have decided they can afford to go boating, The Elkhart Truth reported.
"I'm having a hard time seeing the economy as bad as people say it is," Haradine said.
WakeSide reflects the upward trends being posted in the boating industry as a whole, including pontoon makers in Elkhart County. Thom Dammrich, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, noted 2011 was the first year the industry recorded an increase in sales since 2006. In addition, he expects retail activity to continue to grow in 2012 between 4% and 5%.

"Yeah, we are right now," Aramis Ramirez said. "But last year at this time, Milwaukee was the same way and they didn't make the playoffs. So you can't take anything for granted. We have to go out there and keep winning games, keep winning series."
Though San Diego snapped the Cubs' nine-game winning streak Wednesday night with a 2-1 victory, the Cubs still managed to win the series.
Ted Lilly (5-5) was the tough-luck loser, getting out of jams in the sixth and seventh innings before the Padres brought home the go-ahead run in the eighth on Brian Giles' leadoff double and Kevin Kouzmanoff's sacrifice fly off reliever Carlos Marmol.
"The irony is that it's the best game we've had pitched in a long while," manager Lou Piniella said of Lilly's outing. "Their guy (Maddux) pitched equally well, just a tad better."
The Cubs managed only four hits against starter Greg Maddux and relievers Heath Bell and Trevor Hoffman, who struck out the side in the ninth to post his 12th save.
" 'Doggie' threw the ball good," Derrek Lee said of Maddux. "We just never could get anything going. It seemed like we made a lot of quick outs and he kept his pitch count down. That's the last thing you want with him on the mound."
Lilly allowed only two runs on seven hits over 71/3 innings and wriggled out of some self-made jams late in the game.
"I don't know what to say," Lilly said. "I made enough mistakes. I got out of some jams. It was one of those games where you can only escape so many times."
With the score tied 1-1 in the sixth, the Padres put runners on the corners on a double and a throwing error by Ryan Theriot. But Lilly struck out Kouzmanoff and induced Khalil Greene to ground to third, where Ramirez threw Giles out at the plate on a controversial call by plate umpire Bill Hohn. Geovany Soto lifted his foot and appeared to let Giles slide under him, but Hohn called Giles out nonetheless.
Lilly promptly retired Justin Huber on a fly to deep center. Lilly then stranded Michael Barrett on third with one out in the seventh, getting Scott Hairston to pop out before striking out Edgar Gonzalez.
Before the game, Piniella hoped Lilly could stem the tide with a decent outing after he had lasted only three innings in his previous start and had served up five home runs in his last two starts.
"Lilly is just giving up home runs," Piniella said. "… But one thing about him, he has found a way to battle and keep us in ballgames."
Hairston started the game off with a home run, but Lilly settled down and pitched his best game since May 9, a seven-inning, one-run outing against Arizona.

[Mac Mall talking]
You crash-helmet wearin' heffer
You turf-dirt tramp
You sack-chasin ass cunt
Bathwaterless bitch
[Mac Mall]
Whats up with it ho, tell me, whats it all about?
Seems you always talkin' shit when this pimp dick not in your mouth
And then you wonder why a nigga quick to dig your helmet
And slap your ass so hard when usually I'm smooth as velvet
See trick I'm from the Bay and man we make them broads Obey
And if you don't then you gon' sport up on sling and neck brace
Word to OJ and my nigga Ike Turner
If that ho don't know her role them I'mma learn her
Since out I turned her, she get hella emotional
But don't let them square biz feelings get that ass beat down
And even now I get the feminists sayin'
"a real man would never put his hands on a woman"
But a punk-bitch ain't no lady
They shifty and shady
Crooked connivin' 5150 crazy
But I'm quick to introduce her to the Mac-Prozac
Choke-holds and back hand slaps
Now bitch dig that!
[Hook (x2): Mac Mall]
Maca-frama-lamma punk ho toe-tagga
Savage mainy-mannish plus a money hungry bastard
Big face stacker and a mouth piece master
Never chase that bitch I'd rather let you suckas catch her
[Mac Dre]
Now to understand a maca-frama-lamma
You must first know the lingo
Comprehend the grammar
Feel me when I flow, learn what I'm lacing
Mac, I Mastered the Art of Communication
365 days a year
I'm in a bitch's ear
Saying what she wanna hear
Trying to get things clear
If they ain't clear
And if she stay here
She's running like a reindeer
No playin' here, it's mackin' for real
Packin' a steel, stackin' the scrill
So if you happen to feel kinda pimperistic
You got the Furly Ghost in ya
You feelin' my linguistics
Don't get it twisted
Lets keep this on the up and up
Pimp the Blood up out her if she out there fuckin' up
It's time to toughen up and do this cutthoatish
Them maca-frama-lamma, niggas, is the coldest!
[Hook x2]
[Mac Mall]
Oops upside your head
Keep poppin' off at the grill and I'mma beat you like a egg
See your brother's a punk and your daddy's a old man
They get in my business and I'mma send 'em back payin'
You know what I'm sayin'
No, ho, I ain't no gentleman
I'm a cutthroat nigga from that that Crestside Clan
Won't tell you check yourself cause I got it
A tested method to get a bitch back in pocket
See one of my my breezies start to bumpin' them gums
A mac black out, and get to goin' on one
And I don't give a fuck let the police come
Lets split this bitch wig because she much too dumb
Said I don't give a fuck let the police come
Let's split this bitch wig because she much too dumb
We keepin' it mackin' on the real where I'm from
A nothing-ass slut talk shit she gets stomped, stomped
[Hook x2]
A highly misogynistic (though admittedly clever at parts) depiction of the fate of women who don't know their place in society. I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with shmostitute
Although Mac Mall and Mac Dre beefed briefly, they squashed it and put this song out on Da U.S. Open, probably one of the best albums to be released out of the Bay in 2005. Released shortly after Mac Dre's murder, it is only right that he should be showcased at his best: hard, confrontational, with a beat that slaps, yet always laid-back and humorous
The album, while well-received by Bay Area fans, did not sell well
